All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

Since my daughter can only apply for private lessons at her age, we have requested private sessions each time (this is the third time this year). This year, we had the same teacher who is fluent in Japanese as last year! It seems my daughter remembered her and was completely at ease during their conversation. Since it was a private lesson, they enjoyed their time together one-on-one until the very end. I would like to request this again next time.

年齢的に娘がまだプライベートでしか申し込めない為、毎回プライベートでお願いしています（今年で3回目）
今年は昨年と同じ日本語ペラペラな先生でした！
娘も覚えていたようですっかり慣れた感じで会話していました。
プライベートなのでマンツーマンで時間ギリギリまで楽しんでいました。
また次回もお願いしたいと思います。

This was my third time participating. The instructors are very kind, so I can join with peace of mind every time. The waves were a bit high, possibly due to the tsunami two days prior, but I felt safe participating. I would love to join again when I go to Hawaii!

今回で3回目の参加でした。
優しく指導してくれるので、毎回安心して参加できます。
この日は2日前の津波の影響か波が高めだったのですが安心して参加できました。
またハワイに行く時は参加したいです！

The performance was incredibly powerful and impressive! We were seated in Category 2, but since the venue isn't that large, it was more than satisfactory for us.

迫力がすごくて圧巻でした！
カテゴリー2の席でしたが、会場自体がそこまで広く無いので自分たちにとっては十分満足できる席でした。

Boat was awesome. Full bar. Staff was fun and informative. We drove deep into the ocean to make sure we got to dive near all the fish and turtles. We saw tons. I got some exercise in as well! Water was blue and the sun was out. Perfect day for snorkeling! Was family friendly as well. Would recommend!

I was taught how to stand on land and practiced standing repeatedly, then we set off to the sea! The instructor helped me until I was able to ride the waves, and after that, I just had to balance and stand on my own, so it was very easy to challenge myself! I was able to stand up 4-5 times, and it was so much fun!

Paddling was indeed tiring, so I exhausted my energy in just one hour, but I enjoyed it more than enough! I want to try surfing again!

陸で立ち方を教えてもらい繰り返し立つ練習、その後に海へ出発しました！波に乗るまではインストラクターが助けてくれて後は自分でバランス取って立つだけなのでとても容易に挑戦できました！4-5本立つことができて最高に楽しかったです！

パドリングがやはり疲れたので、1時間で体力消耗、十分すぎるくらい楽しめました！またサーフィン挑戦したいです！

The 90-minute stage was incredibly fun and I enjoyed it thoroughly. They know how to entertain the audience, so I lost track of time and had a great time.

Regarding the handling of the options, I made a reservation through Veltra, but the staff struggled to understand the meaning of the voucher. Even though one drink is free with the admission fee, they asked for payment. The voucher clearly states that it's free. I hope Veltra and Blue Note staff can coordinate better on this matter. That aspect left a bad aftertaste.

めちゃくちゃ楽しい90分のステージがノリノリで楽しめた。お客さんを楽しませる術を知っているので，時間を忘れて楽しかった。
【オプションの扱いについて】
ベルトラを通して予約したが，スタッフがバルチャーの意味が分からず手こずった。入場料を支払えば飲み物一杯は無料なのに代金を要求してきた。バウチャーには無料と書いてあるのに。ベルトラとブルーノートのスタッフとの打ち合わせを密にしてほしい。その点は，後味が悪かった。

I participated in this tour because it departs from Waikiki Beach, making it convenient and time-efficient. Although I don't understand much English, I received a Japanese notice after departure. I was able to see dolphins in the distance and multiple sea turtles. The sea turtles up close are very cute! The view of Diamond Head from the sea while sailing was also wonderful! I was lucky to be with a Japanese person who spoke English, so I got help with things I didn't understand. The staff were all friendly, and I had a great experience.

ワイキキビーチ沿いからの出航で、時間的にもロスがなく便利なのでこのツアーに参加しました。
英語はあまりわからないですが、出航後 日本語表記の注意書きを渡されます。
遠くでイルカも見えて、ウミガメも複数見ることが出来ました。近くで見るウミガメはとても可愛いです！
セーリングで海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドも素晴らしかったです！
たまたま英語を話される日本の方とご一緒出来たので解らないところは助けて貰えてラッキーでした。
スタッフも皆さんフレンドリーで楽しい体験が出来ました。

It was a pretty easy, well maintained. Interesting factoids.

I experienced a submarine for the first time. The submarine itself is not something you can experience often, so it was a valuable and enjoyable experience. However, I didn't see as many fish as I had expected. The boat that takes you to the submarine, and the submarine itself when it's near the surface, can be quite rocky. Neither my husband nor I are prone to seasickness, but we both felt a bit queasy.

初めて潜水艦を体験しました。
潜水艦自体は中々体験できないので、貴重な経験ができて楽しかったです。
ただ、魚は思ったよりも見えませんでした。
潜水艦まで移動する船、そして潜水艦が海面近くにある時はかなり揺れます。
そこまで船酔いする方ではないですが、私も夫も船酔いしました。

My family and I loved this! Good for kids and adults. Seen fish and turtles! Good, fun service!

Since it was during a campaign, it was quite a good deal compared to other companies' catamarans. Although the all-you-can-drink option doesn't allow for excessive drinking, I was overall very satisfied! I had a truly Hawaiian experience.

キャンペーン中だったので、他社カタマランと比較するとかなりお得でした。
飲み放題といってもそんなに飲めるわけではありませんが、全体的に大満足です！
ハワイらしい体験ができました。

I had a great experience. Thank you very much. If you go to Hawaii, be sure to try it out. I highly recommend it!

良い体験ができましたm(_ _)m
ありがとうございました。
ぜひハワイに行った際は体験してみてください。
おすすめです！

If you don't participate in the tour and adjust your schedule to the bus times, you can also visit the Diamond Bed, and at the photo spots, the staff will assist you with taking pictures.

ツアーに参加せず、バスの時刻に合わせて行動すればダイアモンドベッドにも行けるし、写真スポットの場所では、スタッフさんによって写真撮影を手伝ってくださります。

We enjoyed the show and dinner very much Amazed with the quick costume changes

The venue was always lively and great. There were many guests from overseas, and it was full of energy with constant cheering. This is not a show to watch calmly. There were a lot of people, from families with children to elderly couples.

会場は常に盛り上がりよかったです。
海外からのお客さんが多く、常に声を出していて活気がありました。
落ち着いて見るショーではないです。
子連れから、老年夫婦までたくさんの人がいました。

The meal included a salad (ordinary), the main dish of frilly chicken (huge and tender), an ahi poke bowl (deliciously seasoned), today's fish dish (lightly flavored white fish, very tasty), and dessert was ice cream.

The performance was authentic and truly wonderful! I was really impressed by the high level of talent!

However, the seating was a bit disappointing, as it was lined up right next to the stage, and the entrance behind the bar was clearly visible, making it feel less like a resort. Of course, there was no view of the ocean at all.

If I go again, I would like to sit in the area by the pool, which has a much larger space, without making a reservation. On this day, there were quite a few empty seats even after the performance started.

料理は、サラダ（普通）、メインのフリフリチキン（巨大で肉とろける）、アヒポケ・ボウル（味付け美味）、本日の魚料理（白身魚薄味美味）、デザートのアイスでした。
演奏は本格的で本当に良かったです！すごいレベルが高く感動しました！
席がちょっと残念で、ステージの真横にずらっとある感じで、バーの裏方の入り口が丸見えでリゾート？な席ではなく、海はもちろん全く見えずです。
次に行くことがあったら予約はせずプール側のまだ広い空間の方の席に行きたいなと思いました。この日は演奏始まってもかなり席が空いていました。

Every aspect of the luau was wonderful. The ambience, the view, the dinner, the singing, and the dancers!

It's a real submarine. Although it was made for tourism, you can see the bottom of the ocean in Waikiki. The air conditioning works well, so it's comfortable, and I was able to see small fish and sharks. Unfortunately, I didn't see any sea turtles.

本物の潜水艦です。観光用に作られたものではありますが、ワイキキの海の底を見ることができます。エアコンがきちんと効いているので快適だし、小さな魚やシャークをを見ることができました。残念ながらウミガメは見られませんでした。

Paddling a canoe and riding the waves! I probably expected to get wet, but I really got splashed. I had a very fun experience getting hit by the waves in Waikiki. It's definitely something you should try!

カヌーを漕いで波に乗る！多分濡れることを想定していたが、本当にバシャバシャかぶりました。ワイキキの波しぶきを前面に受けてとても面白い体験をしました。ぜひ体験すべきです！

It was my first time paddleboarding! The yoga had levels ranging from easy to difficult, and it was fun all the way to the point of falling in, so it's best to go with the expectation of getting completely wet!

初めてのサップでした！
ヨガは難易度が簡単なものから、難しいものまであって、落ちるところまで楽しいという感じだったので、完全に濡れる想定でいったほうがいいです！

The show was entertaining and out of the ordinary. You won't find another show like this one on the island! Elvis and MJ both did a great job!

My 9-year-old daughter participated. Since it was a surfing experience in shallow waters, I felt more at ease as a parent with her wearing a life jacket. She really practiced surfing and was able to stand on the board properly within an hour. She felt a sense of accomplishment and said it was a really great experience! Additionally, although there was an extra charge, they also filmed a video, and the quality of the final product is good.

9歳の娘が参加しました。遠浅な所で波乗り体験なので、出来ればライフジャケットを着用するのが親としては安心です。本当にサーフィンを練習するので一時間もすればきちんと板の上に立てる様になりまし、子供も達成感とすごーく体験して良かった！との感想でした。また，追加料金ではありますが、動画も撮影してくれて、仕上がりもいいです。

The luau show and the fire show were wonderful. The tattoo experience was also great, and I got a unique flower design. I could choose designs like turtles or tribal patterns for the tattoo. Of course, since it was done with a permanent marker, it faded by the next day.
The food was just okay—neither good nor bad.
I was able to see a beautiful sunset from the venue, and on Friday night, I watched fireworks that were among the best I've ever seen.

ルアウショーも、ファイヤーショーも素敵でした。タトゥー体験も素敵で個性的な花を描いてもらいました。タトゥーは亀とか部族の柄も選べました。もちろん油性マジックなので、次の日には消えました。
食事内容はまあまあです。可もなく不可もなくといった感じ。
会場から素敵な夕日も見れたし、金曜日の夜で花火を見たのですが、人生最高に近い花火でした。

The Xplore ride was really fun and brought out the kid in me! If you know a little about VR and Mixed Reality, this experience starts off with Mixed Reality with nice fish and marine life around you and some light educational sections on Waikiki and the beaches. The ride does transition into full VR at times with underwater volcanic vents, above ground volcanic eruption, a 360 visual aerial view above the islands (nice!), and an underwater route with all sorts of aquatic creatures around you, known to be local to the islands and some nice coral (this was my favorite part). There is more light educational pieces dispersed in these full on VR parts as well. The movement of the bus really gives you the sense of “traveling” through the VR worlds and even the fish “swimming” through the bus in Mixed Reality was enhanced by the movement. Our host was wonderful and really explained everything well! The driver was very friendly too. The experience can be heard in Japanese or English. Too me, the only negative, though the headsets are of very high quality, was the pass through video of the outside was a bit unfocused when it was too far in the distance (like the ocean views near Diamond Head). Final thoughts are that it is definitely worth it and please consider supporting this business and others that bring the beauty of nature and the immersion of technology and imagination together!

I saw Auwana for the first time. It was wonderful. Three generations of our family enjoyed it together. I had seen a Cirque du Soleil performance in Japan before. The theater is small, so you can enjoy a great sense of presence from any seat. It was cool, but it wasn't too cold even without a jacket.

初めてアウアナを見ました。
素敵でした。
親子三世代で楽しめました。
日本でシルク・ドゥ・ソレイユの公演はみたことがありました。
劇場のサイズが小さいのでどの席でも臨場感たっぷりで楽しめます。
涼しかったけど、上着がなくてもそこまで寒くはなかったです。

Once it started, the performances continued non-stop. There were parts that engaged the audience and created a lively atmosphere, making it a very enjoyable and quick experience!

始まったらノンストップで演目が続きます。観客を巻き込んで盛り上げる部分もあり、とても楽しいあっと言う間の時間でした！

Taxis are quite expensive, so having this pass is cheap and convenient. I received advice from Mr. Tamura at Bon Voyage Kobe and decided to purchase it. I see, it's highly recommended.

タクシーは結構割高なので　このパスがあれば安くて便利ですと　ボン・ヴォヤージュ神戸の田村さんにアドバイスをいただいて　購入を決定。なるほどお勧めです。

We went on a boat ride as a family. At first, I was worried about the kids getting seasick, but the fun outweighed that concern, and our excitement skyrocketed! The view of Waikiki from the sea was refreshing, and we could see Diamond Head beautifully! I want to experience it again!

家族で船に乗りました。
最初は子どもの船酔いも心配でしたが、楽しさが上回りテンション爆上がりでした！
景色は、海上からみるワイキキも新鮮でしたし、ダイヤモンドヘッドも綺麗に見えました！
また体験したいです！

I joined a yoga class with locals. Although I participated alone, everyone was kind and welcoming, making it easy to join in. The immediate confirmation upon booking was great, as it made planning my schedule easier afterward. They also took videos, which became wonderful memories! I would love to participate again!

地元の方に混ざってのヨガでした。
1人で参加でしたが、みんな優しくウェルカムな感じで参加しやすかったです。
予約時に即決定なので、その後の予定も立てやすいのでよかったです(^^)
ムービーも撮ってくださり、よい思い出になりました！
また参加したいです！

In the midst of rising prices, the all-you-can-drink service was a delightful offering! We were the only Japanese people there, and the number of guests was just right, so we could relax without feeling cramped. We chose a catamaran with a restroom just in case since we had children with us, but we didn't use it even once. The kids had a great time too!

物価高の中、飲み放題付きは嬉しいサービスでした！
日本人は私たちだけで、人数も程よいので圧迫感もなくのんびり過ごせます。
子供たちと乗ったので万が一のためにトイレ付きのカタマランにしましたが、一度も使用せずでした。
子供たちも楽しんでました！
