Things to do in Honolulu

I went with my mom to celebrate her 60th birthday :) The Oahu sunset dinner cruise with my mom was a truly unforgettable memory..!! The sunset viewed from the sea was so beautiful, and the lobster and steak were more delicious than expected. Above all, the waiter who was in charge that day took care of us meticulously from beginning to end, so I was able to enjoy the meal in a pleasant mood. It's an experience I would highly recommend for a special occasion.

After comparing all the Kualoa Ranch tours, I ultimately chose the Bus Tour. I initially thought it would be a quick, superficial overview, but the driver/guide extended the 1.5-hour tour to 2 hours, providing information about movie locations and various animals and plants along the way (note that this is entirely in English). Perhaps to differentiate it from other tours (such as horseback riding, UTV, etc.), the movie locations or stops were different. For example, the Bus Tour didn't stop at the Jurassic World location, which was a bit disappointing, but it did stop at the Kong: Skull Island set. Overall, I highly recommend it. Although it might be hard to understand if you haven't seen many of the movies, Kualoa Ranch is truly beautiful. Even without recognizing the movie locations, the scenery is stunning, and the Bus Tour is much cheaper than other tours. Overall, recommended.

This tour was so much fun! If you're reasonably good at riding a bike, you can definitely do it! I highly recommend this tour~

Do this tour… you won’t regret it!! We booked it last minute and it was the best thing we’ve done since we arrived in Hawaii. Dirk was our tour guide and he was amazing, so friendly and knowledgeable. We highly recommend this!!

If you're traveling to Hawaii, USA, and not renting a car but going on foot, this is a must-have item! I purchased the Blue Line, and it's a highly recommended line because it's great for comfortably enjoying the beautiful Hawaiian coastline without renting a car. There are several lines available, but it's the best for staying in Waikiki and getting around without a rental car! The Blue Line has high satisfaction, but other lines are also popular, so you should purchase according to your travel style!!!!!!

Totally going here everytime I visit Hawaii with new friends or family. Definitely a must experience!

We participated with a total of 4 people, including my 70-year-old parents and a friend. My parents especially were overjoyed. They seemed to have had a lot of fun and said it was a great memory. If you don't get much exercise, be prepared for sore muscles after the activity. If you realize you weren't very good at riding, your lower back may hurt. However, it was a really good experience. I recommend it. ↓↓ The following is a detailed report. The parking lot is large and free, so we took the highway from around Waikiki in a hui and enjoyed the drive along the way! As I researched, the parking lot was spacious, and even though it was a Saturday afternoon, we were able to park the car with ease. When we told the receptionist that we had a reservation, they confirmed the reservation by last name, checked the passport of the reservation representative only, and handed us the precautions written in Japanese. It was a very smooth process. I made sure to arrive with plenty of time to spare, but the directions were easy to understand and it was much smoother than I imagined, so we had plenty of time. We bought a hot dog ($5) and a canned coffee ($2) at the local shop and had a snack to kill time. I was worried about the weather, but it was sunny, so the sun was strong. Some people were wearing short sleeves, but I wore long sleeves to protect myself from the sun. You can wear a helmet over your hat or cap. Shoulder straps for cell phones are not allowed, but you can borrow a bag to put your luggage in and put it on the horse. You can put water and your cell phone in the bag. You will watch a movie of precautions, which is available in Japanese. However, once the activity starts, it is all in English. The explanations are not difficult, so even if you don't speak English, it should be fine. You can take photos with your cell phone while riding. The instructor also takes photos and shares them with you via AirDrop after the activity. As is common in tourist spots, the photos taken by the photographer are sold for $20 each, and you will be posed for photos while riding. Before doing the activity, I thought I didn't need it, but after the activity, I thought, 'I might as well buy it as a souvenir.' It was such a good experience. (It was great this time because it was sunny, but the impression would be quite different if it rained.)

This was worth the money I paid for four adults! drive your own UTV even if you’re scared. I’m not the most confident driver, but this was one of the best experiences, even if it rained like crazy halfway through! can confirm the path is safe! the clouds and rain created a moody atmosphere and the scenes at the ranch were breathtaking! our guides Toa and Makoa knew their legends of the locations so well, made us laugh, took photos of our group, and ensured we stayed safe! It was amazing, we had so much fun. for my fellow short people, I’m 5ft1 and had to sit more forward on the seat to reach the pedals (just keep in mind for my fellow shorter friends! especially if you’re concerned about sitting up the entire time and having no backrest!) but otherwise, I have no regrets! this was such a beautiful experience! please do it and support the ranch! hot tip for those staying in Waikiki and you didn’t rent a car, we recommend reserving/scheduling an uber to and from the ranch!

if you like WW2 stuff, this place is must-visit activity you can do in Hawaii. The guide tour which provided by the site will take around 30-mins, and afterwards you may take your inside of the ship by yourself.
