All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

This is the best experience ever!!! You really should try it!! While going up, I was super nervous, but the instructor was funny and made it enjoyable all the way to the end, so I had no fear at all. It became the best memory ever!!!!!!!

これは最高の一言！！！
ほんとに体験するべき！！
上がってくあいだはすごくドキドキするけど、インスラクターが面白く楽しく最後の最後まで本当に楽しませてくれるので恐怖心は全くなく最高の最高の思い出になりました！！！！！！

My first time on a zip line. I participated with my wife, and it was so much fun. At first, I was nervous, but once you slide once, you quickly get used to it. Our group consisted of eight foreigners and the two of us, totaling ten people. The oldest participants were probably a couple in their 70s, which was quite surprising. However, we all managed to enjoy the zip tour together safely. The guides explained everything in English, so I didn't understand everything, but it wasn't a problem as I could follow along by watching their gestures. Along the zip line, there were places to drink water and enjoy natural nuts, as well as snacks like tomatoes and apple bananas, adding a bit of a walking atmosphere to the experience. One of the guides was called "Captain," and he really livened up the tour. If you go next time, try to find that Captain. If you meet him and say "いっぱいたのしい" (it's so much fun) in Japanese, I think you'll become friends right away. I plan to participate again if I have the chance.

生まれて初めてのZIPLine。妻と二人で参加しましたが、とっても楽しかったです。最初は緊張しますが、１回滑ればすぐに慣れます。私らの組は、外国人の方８名と私たちの１０名でした。最高年齢は、たぶん７０代の老夫婦の方で、こちらの方が、もうビックリでした。でも無事、皆で楽しくZIPツアーを体験することができました。ガイドは全員が英語で説明されるので、内容はよく分かりませんが、身振りを見ていれば問題ありません。ZIPLineの途中で、水を飲める場所や自然のナッツを食べれたり、トマトやアップルバナナをつまめるなど、ちょっとした散歩的な雰囲気も味うことができます。ガイドさんの中に「隊長」と言われる方いて、ツアーを盛り上げてくれました。今度行かれる方は、その隊長を探してみてください。隊長と逢えたら「いっぱいたのしい」と日本語で言えば、直ぐに仲良くなると思います。また機会があれば、参加しようと思っております。

The morning pickup was on time at the hotel, which was very reassuring!
There was a video explanation in the car, and once we arrived, there was an explanation in English!
We stored our luggage in lockers and waited!
When my name was called, I met my instructor! I listened to explanations about various equipment and how to jump while waiting for the helicopter!
The weather was great, and we were able to fly right away, which was really lucky!
The instructor was very kind, and since I had requested video and photos from a different person, they took various videos and photos with my friends while we waited!
When it was time to get on the helicopter, I was nervous, but the instructor was so nice that I felt at ease flying!
During the flight, they took a lot of videos and photos, and I was very satisfied!
After returning, the footage and photos were displayed on a monitor for us to review and purchase!

I definitely think you should do at least one of these activities! I recommend it!
Personally, I recommend the video recording! It captures more than photos, and although it's more expensive, it becomes a lifelong memory!
The price for the video and photos from a different person was $230!

I was able to give a heartfelt tip!
I put $20 each in the box for the cameraman and the instructor!

In the end, we arrived back at the hotel around 10:00!
It was really quick, and I felt lucky!
I hope everyone enjoys it too!

朝のピックアップはホテルにちゃんと来てくれとても、安心でした！
車の中でビデオで説明があり、着いてからは英語で説明がありました！
ロッカーに荷物を入れて待機でした！
名前を呼ばれたら、担当のインストラクターの方とご対面！いろんな装備と飛び方？の説明を聞きヘリを待ちました！
天気も良くすぐに飛べて本当にラッキーでした！
インストラクターの方もとっても優しくて、
私はビデオ、写真を共に別の方の撮影で頼んでいたので待っている間もいろんなムービーをとってくれたり友達と写真をとってくれたりしました！
いざヘリに乗るとドキドキでしたが、インストラクターの方が本当に優しくて安心して飛ぶことができました！
飛んでいる間はビデオとカメラの撮影を、たくさんしてくださりもう大満足です！
戻ってから、映像と写真がモニターに映し出され、確認して購入でした！

絶対にどちらかはやった方がいいと思います！オススメです！
私的にはビデオ撮影がオススメです！
写真よりより分かりますし値段は高いですが一生の思い出になります！
値段は、ビデオ、カメラを別の方の撮影で230ドルでした！

チップわ心からお渡しできました！
カメラマンとインストラクターさんに20ドルずつ箱にいれました！

結局ホテルには10:00頃着きました！
本当に早くてラッキーでした！
是非皆さんも楽しんで来てください！

There aren't many Japanese participants. As expected, the Westerners had nice reactions and shouted "Wonderful!" after seeing the sharks (laughs). The boat and cage do sway a bit strongly. However, I am very satisfied because I was able to have an experience that is quite rare.

日本人の参加者はあまりいないです。
さすがナイスリアクションの欧米の方々はサメを見終わると素晴らしい！と叫んでいました(笑)
船やケージは少し揺れが強いです。
ですがその分なかなかできない体験を出来たなと大満足です。

Covered a lot of ground in one day. Too bad we didn't get more time at the cultural center. We didn't get there until 1:30.

The crew of knowledgable marine biologist/safety made swimming with out a shark cage very do-able! I would absolutely do it again! It was less scary than sky diving!

What a great experience! !!!
My family (husband, daughter 13, son 6 a I ) would do all over again! !! The sharks look great and there are a lots of them!!!
We had a Gopro and we could take wonderful pics!
It's very exciting! !!

My wife and I had a wonderful time riding horse along the beautiful beach. The guide was very helpful and informative. I would definitely recommend this adventure to friends and anyone looking to go horseback riding.

Last time, I participated in a night show tour, but I wanted to see more, so this time I chose a full-day tour. Since I am learning Tahitian dance, I am very interested in Polynesian life and dance, and this time I was able to see a canoe show, which was thrilling and extremely satisfying.

In the island area, I was able to experience hula, fire-making, and tattooing, and just when I thought, "I'm getting a bit hungry," it was suddenly dinner time. The area was so large that I couldn't explore it all, so I want to go back again.

The night show was also wonderful, and I think if I saw a similar show in Japan, it wouldn't even cover the cost of this full-day tour. I definitely recommend the full-day tour.

前回は夜のショーを見るツアーに参加しましたが、もっと色々見てみたいと思っていたので、今回は1日のツアーを選んでみました。
タヒチアンダンスを習っているので、ポリネシアの生活やダンスに大変興味があり、今回はカヌーショーも見る事が出来たので、もぅドキドキの大満足でした。
島エリアで、フラや火起しやタトゥー体験も出来て、「なんかお腹が空いたなぁ〜」って思ったら、アッと言う間にディナータイムになっていました。広くて回りきれなかったので、また行きたいです。
夜のショーも素晴らしく、日本で同じ様なショーを見たら それだけで今回の1日のツアー代金ではおさまらないと思います。是非1日のツアーをおすすめします。

It's been a while since I visited North Shore. In the town of Wailea, the garlic shrimp at Camaron was very delicious. Horseback riding was a one-hour experience that flew by, even while being tossed around by "Buster" (the horse's name) who wouldn't listen to anything I said, all while enjoying the beautiful ocean view.

久しぶりのノ－スショア。ワイレアの町ではカマロンでのガーリックシュリンプがとてもおいしかったです。乗馬は、美しい海を見ながら、何も言うこと聞かない「バスタ－君」（馬の名前）に翻弄されながらもアッという間の１時間乗馬でした。

Since it was far away, I went on a tour. On the bus ride there, the guide shared various interesting stories about Hawaii's past and present.

After arriving, a Japanese student guided us, and we had a great time exploring. We visited villages from six countries in the Polynesian Islands and experienced shows. Due to time constraints, there were moments when we had to move on while others were still participating in activities, but the area is so vast that it's definitely recommended to go on a tour.

Personally, I thought the Tonga show was the best! Men from various countries are selected, and the third one is chosen from among Asians, so I hope the selected person enjoys it.

The dinner buffet was also delicious. The watermelon was lighter than the ones in Japan, but it was refreshing and tasty after sweating, and I had plenty.

Finally, there was the night show. It felt like everyone who visited was there, as there were so many people, and the energy was incredible. I didn't understand all the content of the stories, but there were many performers dancing and using fire, so I enjoyed watching it. During a break, they started selling ice cream, and there was a line for it. Everyone seemed to be enjoying it.

We arrived back at the hotel a bit late, but it was a fun day experiencing the true essence of Hawaii. I recommend the tour not just at night but also during the day!

遠いのでツアーでいきました。行きのバスではガイドさんがハワイの昔や今の色んな話をしてくださったので興味深かったです。

到着してからは学生さんが(日本人)案内をしてくれて楽しくまわることが出来ました。
ポリネシア諸島の6つの国の村をまわり体験やショーを見ます。
時間の関係もあって他の方達が体験されてるのを横目に進んでいく時もありましたが、ツアーでないとまわりきれない広さではあるのでやはりツアーがお薦めです。

個人的にはトンガのショーが最高でした！色んな国の男性が選ばれますが、三人目はアジア人から選ばれるそうなので選ばれた方はぜひ楽しんでもらいたいです。

夕食のビュッフェも美味しかったです。
スイカも日本の物よりはアッサリですが汗をかいた身体には美味しく、沢山頂きました。

最後にナイトショーです。
来園された方が全員入られたのでは？と思うくらい沢山の方が見に来られていて熱気も凄かったです。
全ての話の内容がわかった訳ではないですが、沢山の出演者の踊りや火を使ったものもあるので楽しんで見れました。
途中の休憩でアイスクリームの販売が始まり行列をなしていました。皆さん美味しそうに食べてられましたよ。
帰りはホテルに少し遅く着きますがハワイらしいハワイを体験出来て楽しい１日になりました。
夜だけでなくお昼からのツアーがお薦めです！

There are fewer Japanese speakers, and most of the explanations are in English, but that's great! I can't speak English, but the staff is friendly, and the international participants are wonderful. I'm a bit anxious about the pickup always taking more than 30 minutes, but since it's Hawaii time, it doesn't bother me. The scenery is amazing! Even with a little rain, it's still fantastic! My friend, who was scared at first, mastered the backward leg lift by the end! They were shouting "Always climb!" during our stay in Hawaii.

日本の方が少なく、ほとんどの説明が英語ですが、それがいい！
英語は話せませんが、スタッフがフレンドリーに接してくれるし、参加者の海外の方も、最高です。ピックアップが、いつも30分以上、待たないといけないのが不安になります。ハワイタイムなので気になりませんが。
景色も最高！少し雨が降っても最高！怖がっていた友人も最後は後ろ向きの足上げをマスター！
Always climb!とハワイ滞在中叫んでいました。

We chose the whole day outing at the Polynesian Culture Center and we didn't regret it. Our transportation was on time, the escort was very entertaining and informative and the drive from Maui to the Center beautiful.

We visited as many island sites as possible and found each different and informative and also entertaining. The water parade was gorgeous.

In the afternoon we went for the luau that was extremely well organized. The food was ample and good.

The luau that followed was breathtaking. The dances, the fire dances, the costumes, the colors each and every one was superb.

When all was over we found our bus that brought us back to our hotel. The day was over but the memories lingered on.

It was my first time skydiving in my life!
But surprisingly, I didn't feel much fear and was able to jump without hesitation.
While I was waiting for the parachute to open, my breathing was a bit difficult, but the view during the descent to the ground was amazing!!
I'm really glad I jumped in Hawaii.
Looking back now, I feel a bit disappointed that I wish I could speak a little more English.
I wanted to communicate more with the instructor.

人生初のスカイダイビングでした！
でも思ったより恐怖心もなく、スカッと飛ぶことができました。
パラシュートが開くまでの間、ちょっと呼吸が辛かったけど、その後地上まで下降している間の景色は最高でした！！
やっぱりハワイで飛んで良かったです。
ただ今思うと少し残念なのは、私がもう少し英語が話せたらなぁということ。
インストラクターの方とももっとコミュニケーションを取りたかった。

This was an amazing ride. I would do it again and again.

Do yourself a favor and do this! Amazing fun and test you a little.

I didn't understand the language, so I learned the positions by watching gestures. I was a bit anxious, but it was totally fine! Normally, I think roller coasters are scary, but skydiving was really exhilarating! I forgot to bring a $20 tip at the end and was in a bit of trouble, but the driver kindly covered the $40 for both of us, which was a huge help! Thank you so much!

言葉がわからないのでジェスチャーを見ながら体勢を教わりました。なので不安もありましたが、全然大丈夫でした！
普段ジェットコースターもこわいと思う私ですが、スカイダイビングは本当に気持ちよかったです！！
最後のチップを20ドル持ってくるのを忘れてしまい困っていたところ、ドライバーさんが夫婦2人分40ドルを立て替えてくれて、本当に助かりました！ありがとうございました！！

As others have mentioned, absolutely no Japanese was understood! Aside from us, all the participants were foreigners.

During the pickup, there was a slight delay, but since they called out "Zipline!" there was no confusion.

Because the location was in the North, the weather was unstable, and it started pouring rain halfway through. I didn't bring a change of clothes, so I ended up soaking wet and had to buy a T-shirt there. I think it's better to bring a change of clothes when the weather looks questionable. Also, while traveling in the jeep, mud splattered everywhere, making me all muddy.

The mud was quite sticky, so my jeans, T-shirt, and shoes got really dirty. It would have been nice if it had been sunny, but please be careful after rain or when it’s raining (laughs).

There were only a few snack and juice vending machines on site, and while there were some water and bananas available along the way, they didn't look appetizing, so I didn't eat them. It might be a good idea to bring some light snacks if lunch is going to be late.

Since it was my first time on a zipline, I had a lot of fun.

他の方が書いてらした通り、全く日本語が通じません！参加者も私達以外は全て外人さんでした。
ピックアップの時はやはり少し遅れてのお迎えでしたが”ジップライン！”と呼んで頂けたので、迷う事はありませんでした。
場所がノースだった為、お天気が不安定で途中から大雨でした。着替え等を持って行ってなかったので、ビショビショになり向こうでTシャツを買う事になりまた。お天気が怪しい時は着替えを持参した方がいいと思います。あと、ジープでの移動中も泥が飛んで来てベチョベチョになりました。
泥がねっちょりしてるので、ジーパンやTシャツや靴の汚れが酷かったです。
晴れていたら良かったのでしょうが、雨や雨上がりの後は気を付けて下さいね(笑)
現地にはちょっとしたスナックやジュースの販売機しかないので、（途中にお水やバナナは置いてありましたが、食べようとは思えない状態だったので、食べてません）お昼がまたがる時は軽食持参がいいかもです。
ジップライン自体が初めてだったので、楽しかったです。

The staff was so friendly and knowledgable! They made everyone feel safe, and provided pictures they took of everyone! An unforgettable experience, and I can't wait to go again!!

It can only be described as wonderful. The experience of falling from 4000 meters was something I've never encountered before, and it was truly moving. I participated thinking it would be the first and last time in my life, but now I want to do it again.

素晴らしいの一言につきます。4000mからの落下は体験した事の無い、感動物です。人生最初で最後と思って参加したが又行きたいと思っています。

We booked the North Shore Keana Farms Zipline Adventure (7 lines) / Standard (with transportation) for four people at my daughter's request. On the day of the tour, the shuttle bus arrived an hour late at the pickup location. (I could communicate in English a bit, so I was able to call multiple times to ask about the delay, but regular Japanese tourists would have been left feeling anxious with no way to get information.) After that, the vehicle we departed in had a flat tire on the coastal road, which almost led to a serious accident! We had to deal with another vehicle in a panic! Although we were initially told we would return by 2:00 PM, we were alarmed to hear it might be around 5:00 PM, which caused us to rush to cancel our dinner reservation. In the end, we returned around 3:00 PM. While the activity itself was somewhat satisfying, I believe the level of pickup service and ensuring the safety of travelers was extremely low. We would not recommend this tour to others.

ノースショア・ケアナファーム　ジップライン・アドベンチャー（7本） / スタンダード（送迎付きプラン）に娘の希望で4人申し込みました。当日送迎バスが一時間遅れでピックアップ場所に到着。（多少の英会話ができるのでTELで何度も遅れについて聞けましたが一般の日本人旅行者では何もできず不安だけが募る状態でした）その後出発した車は前輪がパンク海岸沿いの道だったので間一髪大事故になるところでした！！代わりの車をまたまた末事態に！！14：00帰着予定も初めに17：00頃と脅かされ予約の夕食のキャンセルなど大慌て結局15：00頃帰着しました。アクティビティそのものはそれなりに満足したようですがピックアップや旅行者の安全確保にきわめて低レベルであると思います。私たちはこのツアーを他の人に勧める事は無いでしょう。

I participated with a friend.
The zip line itself is absolutely amazing!
Maybe the sun was stronger than we expected, but when we got back, both my friend and I had terrible sunburns on our arms... (laughs)

We slid down a total of seven lines, and the views, distances, and heights were all different, making it a truly fun and fantastic aerial walk!
Taking that first step is incredibly scary.
But once you calm down, you realize you're securely strapped to the wire... I felt that way from the second line onward. ^ ^

However, the pickup time was just so delayed!
It was scheduled for 7:45, but after 30 minutes, they still hadn't arrived. I called and was told to wait, so I was worried while waiting, and they finally showed up an hour later (at 8:45).
Apparently, there was a traffic jam... It was really stressful not having a way to contact them on-site.
Also, on the way there, we had to wait for another car due to vehicle trouble... we ended up waiting for about 30 minutes. (laughs)
When we arrived, there wasn't much said, and we just checked in quickly...

But despite all that frustration, it was so great that I forgot about it!
All the instructors were very kind as well. ^ ^

友人と2人で参加してきました。
ジップライン自体はものすごく最高です！
思っている以上に日差しが強かったのか、帰ったら友人と腕周りが日焼けで大変なことになってました…（笑）

計7本を滑りましたが、見る景色や距離、高さなど色々あり本当に楽しい、最高の空中散歩です！
初めの1歩目を踏み出すのはものすっごく怖いです。
ただ冷静になれば、しっかりワイヤーに体括られてるしな…2本目からは思えました。^ ^

ただ。
ピックアップの時間が、とにかく！遅れてました。
7:45予定でしたが、30分経っても来ず、電話を掛けて、待っててくれとの事だったので、心配しながら待ってると1時間後(8:45)に来ました。
どうやら渋滞で混んでいたらしいですが…現地で連絡の手段がないと物凄く焦りました。
後は、向かっている途中で車のトラブルで別の車を待つことに…これまだ30分くらい待ちぼうけでした。（笑）
着いて何か言われる訳でもなく、速攻チェックインして…って感じでした。

ただ、そんなモヤモヤも忘れさせてくれるくらい最高です！
インストラクターの方々もみなさん、優しい方です^ ^

I have been to Hawaii several times, but I participated in this activity because I could experience horseback riding. While enjoying the North Shore, including the Dole Plantation and the town of Haleiwa, I took a 45-minute horseback ride along the coast. The scenery was beautiful, the horses were adorable, and I was able to enjoy nature.

8/1…何度か来てるハワイでしたが、乗馬が体験できるので、こちらのアクティビティに参加しました。
ドールプランテーションやハレイワの街など、ノースショアを満喫しながら、海岸を乗馬で45分間散策しました。
景色は綺麗だし、馬は可愛いし、自然の中で楽しむことができました。

For a typical trip, I would consider using the local bus, but the access here isn't very good, and since the park is quite large, it was a good decision to take the tour for efficient sightseeing.

Right after arriving, we enjoyed the canoe show (I'll post photos), where dancers performed traditional dances from the Polynesian islands on their respective canoes, which was wonderful.

The best attraction was Samoa and Tonga! Tonga was interactive, and the selected men had to play the drums. The people chosen when we participated were very talented, and we couldn't stop laughing. The Samoa attraction uses fire, but the mysterious vibe of the older gentleman stood out and made it fun. I recommend participating not just at night but also during the day!

Waikiki is urban, so it was here that I first felt the essence of Hawaii. Make sure to visit this place first when you arrive in Hawaii.

普段の旅行なら、路線バスを使用して、、と考えるとこですが、こちらアクセスがあまり良くなく、全てのアトラクションが、見れないまでも、園内も広いためツアーで効率よく周れ正解でした。
着いて直ぐにカヌーショウ《写真を投稿しますが》、ポリネシアの島々に伝わる踊りをそれぞれのカヌー上で披露され素敵でした。
アトラクションで一番良かったのが、サモアとトンガ！トンガは、参加型で、選ばれし男性が太鼓を叩かされます。私が たちが参加した時に選ばれた方々は芸達者で、笑いが止まりませんでした。サモアのアトラクションは火を使いますが、おじさまの怪しい雰囲気が際立ちすぎて楽しかったです。夜だけでなく昼から参加されるのがおすすめです！
ワイキキは都会なのでここに来て初めてハワイらしさを感じられました。ハワイに着いたら1番に行ってください。

I was worried about seasickness, but according to the captain, it was a calm sea, which happens only about 30 days a year—lucky us! He mentioned that usually, someone ends up throwing up (laughs).

Although the explanation was only in English, the most important rule was: do not stick your hands and feet outside the cage! Fortunately, there were no shark attacks. We took our time and got to enjoy a lifetime's worth of sharks up close!

船酔いを心配しましたが、船長さん曰く年に30日あるかどうかの穏やかな海、ラッキーだね、とのこと。いつもは一人は吐く人がいるそうです （笑）
英語のみの説明ですが、重要なのは1つ。ケージの外に手足を出さない！でした。サメにアタックされることはなかったです。結構じっくり時間を取ってくれて、一生分のサメを近距離で堪能しました！

Amazing! It was great to see how rich and important the polynesian culture is. I learned a lot about the history, arts, music, history and games in Hawaii, New Zealand, Tonga, Tahiti, Samoa and Fiji. The cultural center is well organized and the shows and exhibitions are really neat. The staff member are very kind and polite. The food was delicious and the final show (Ha! Breath of Life) was fantastic! Don't miss the Hawaiian Journey movie, it features amazing landscapes, majestic mountains, waterfalls, volcanoes and lush forests.
Polynesian Cultural Center is a must-do in Hawaii, specially if you have kids.

Service was great, when all tickets were sold out we found them on Veltra and a at a good price, the response was fast and comunication easy! Would use it again for sure!

I participated in the dinner and show plan starting in the evening. The dinner was a buffet style, and we ate in a different location from the show. Everything I had was delicious! The show was absolutely amazing! I'm glad I was able to sleep on the bus ride there... Every scene showcased the performers' incredible talents with the latest visual technology and lighting, it was breathtaking!!! The story was also easy to understand since they provided a summary in the pamphlet.

夕方から参加の、ディナーとショーのプランで行きました。
ディナーはヴュッフェ形式で、ショーとは別の場所で食べます。わたしはどれも美味しかったです！
ショーが素晴らしく良くて！
行きのバスで寝ててよかったです…どのシーンも最新の映像技術と照明が、出演者の皆さんのすごさを際立たせてて、圧巻！！！でした。
ストーリーも、あらすじをパンフレットに書いてくれてるし、見ててもよくわかりました。

I got fully fascinated by this Keana Farms Zipline adventure program. I become one of serious fans of Keana Farm Zipline. It was very exciting experience and the best activity that my famaily got during this summer vacation in Hawaii. Thx for every rangers (especially Ms.Princess). Hope we will be there soon again.

In spite of very short time 15 min., my son and I were fully satisfied with this glider riding. While being towed by an airplane, we didn't have any concern of falling down. But later we could fly in the air without an engine...wow quite awesome. No worry no concern no fear at all during the flight. a very soft flying..
