The view of Honolulu from Diamond Head and the hotel we stayed at was absolutely wonderful. They say you can enjoy similar scenery in Okinawa, but I highly recommend experiencing it in Hawaii.
The meeting place was easy to find, and we didn't get lost on our way there. Since the instructions mentioned to arrive 30 minutes early, we went ahead and got there early, but ended up waiting about 40 minutes as the previous group was still preparing to board. (Someone from the same group arrived even earlier than us.)
The tour company's service was good, but I thought the information on Veltra was a bit unhelpful. They mentioned that photos would cost $40, so when they asked if we wanted to take them, I declined and didn't take any. The tour company only communicates in English and does not provide support in Japanese.
ダイヤモンドヘッドや宿泊してるホテルなど、ホノルルを一望できてとても素敵でした。
沖縄でもできる、といいますが、ハワイの景観を楽しめるので、おすすめです。
集合場所はわかりやすいです。あまり迷子にならず到着できました。
集合時間が30分前に来るよう記載があったので、早めに行ったら、前のグループの乗船準備中で40分ほど待ちました。(同じグループの別の方は私達より更に早く来ていました。)
催行会社の対応は良かったけれど、veltraの記載が不親切かなと思いました。
写真は40ドルと話していたので、撮る?と聞かれたときにいらないとお伝えし、いただきませんでした。
催行会社は英語のみで、日本語対応はありません。

At first, it was scary, but it felt amazing! Since the boat can make you quite seasick, it would be better to take motion sickness medication. It seemed especially tough for the kids.

Pleasant time on the waves in the sun and breeze. Sadly, almost no fish, no turtles, but interesting pink and white sea cucumbers (apparently unique to Kaneohe and Pearl Harbor). Would do it again, but don't need four hours....
Aloha Tim! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review for us. We certainly appreciate that. I'm sorry to hear that most of the marine life (except for the conspicuous sea cucumbers) was a little shy for you. Although there is a lot of marine life out there in Kane'ohe Bay, what you see is always hit or miss and involves being in the right place at the right time. But we certainly hope to see you again soon to get back out there and find some of those sea creatures! And glad to hear other than that it was still overall a good experience. Mahalo!

On the second day of our arrival, we had an experience. My husband, our 9-year-old daughter, and I were able to participate together for the first time. Until now, we had only been able to ride one or two people at a time, so it was great to ride as a family of three.
The boat was larger than I expected, and we went out to the open sea for the experience. We were with two other groups. The height was also 150 meters, and we were able to see the most amazing views.
One unexpected thing was that while anchored, the boat swayed a bit, and during sailing, it felt more like we were connected rather than being pulled by the boat, so we felt the swaying from the waves and wind, which made me a bit seasick.
However, we had a wonderful experience with stunning views.
到着2日目に体験しました。
夫婦と9歳の娘の三人で一度に体験できました。今までは一人か二人乗りだったので、三人で初めて乗れてよかったです。
思ったよりも大きな船で、沖まで行き体験しました。
ほか二グループと一緒でした。
高さも150メートルと高く、最高の景色が見れました。
誤算だったのは、停泊中は船が少し揺れ、セイル中も船に引っ張られるというよりは、繋がっている状態だったので波、風の揺れを感じ、
船酔いしてしまったことです。
でも、素晴らしい景色と体験が出来ました。

My boyfriend and I visited Honolulu for a week to celebrate my 30th birthday. With so much to do on the island, it can be overwhelming to choose the right excursions, especially if you’re only there a few days. This was hands-down the most fun thing we did the ENTIRE trip! The crew and captain were so accommodating and cool. It’s definitely worth the extra cost to do the banana boat or tube ride ;-)
The awesome crew, live music and activity options for the sandbar make this perfect for solo travelers, couples or even families. Do not hesitate to book!

I experienced parasailing, jet skiing, and banana boating. It was all my first time. I headed to the meeting point with a mix of nervousness, excitement, and anticipation. I mistakenly booked the jet ski and bumper tube, but they quickly changed it for me. The instructions were given in Japanese, and they even made jokes to keep us entertained. Overall, it was so much fun, and I'm glad I tried it.

The ride out to sea on the boat was thrilling at high speed. I felt more fear from the boat's speed while waiting in line with several groups of people. When flying, it was very enjoyable and made me feel elegant. It was a quick flight, and I wished I could fly longer. I purchased the photo data, and I was impressed by the images, which exceeded my expectations.

Overall, this experience was awesome! The sandbar was about a 3 mile kayak away from where you dock. Not super difficult, took us about 30-40 minutes to get there and once we did, it was awesome. the tide was a little high, the water went up to just below my neck and I'm 6 feet tall. We went out at 11 am. There's not much to see snorkel-wise at the sandbar, which was relayed to us by the staff setting us up. It was just a nice place to stand in the middle of the ocean and have a snack or two. They were also clear on where go on the sand bar and where the restricted zone was.
After the sandbar we went out to the coral reefs just around the corner of where we started. By then though, the sun wasn't too bright (it was a gloomy-ish day). we could only see maybe 10 feet in front of us in the water and all the fish were either hiding or just not there. Coral was nice to see and swim around though. Saw sea turtles in the distance but none in the water while we were in it. Finding the snorkel zones were actually pretty difficult. We spent about 20-30 minutes finding good spots, but there are no markers out there so I'm not even sure if we were in the spots they marked on the map. Only 2 other kayakers came to this area, tried looking around but all gave up after maybe 5-10 minutes.
Still had fun overall though, would do it again. Hopefully they add markers out of the water next time though.
Aloha Will! Thank you for joining us and for taking the time to leave this review and feedback! Stoked to hear that overall you had a good experience. And I am glad to hear our staff did a good job of describing the details of where to go and where not to go. That is important because you are correct, there aren't really any signs or many markers out there. Sadly we're not permitted to put anything like that out there. Most of the reefs only have very basic reef markers that are installed by the State's Division of Aquatic Resources, and us putting any other signs or markers out there would be strictly prohibited. And certainly the visibility can vary, but I'm glad to hear that overall it sounds like you had a good time. We hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!

This time, I participated in the afternoon. The reason is that the sandbar can be seen during low tide, and when I checked the time, it turned out that the afternoon was the best time that day. However, the beach did not appear (laughs). It seems that timing is really important, and even during low tide, if the season is different, the beach may not be accessible (what a shame).
However, regardless of that, this tour allows you to enjoy activities as long as time permits. You can play as much as you want with activities like stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkeling, and beach volleyball! In particular, snorkeling was great because it was at a point where many fish gather around the coral reef, which I think was much better compared to other beaches.
The beach itself is white, so when the water level goes down to a certain extent, you can enjoy activities in a very beautiful place. It was the perfect spot for enjoying the scenery while engaging in activities in the sea!
今回は、午後に参加しました。というのも、サンドバーが見られるのが干潮の時ということで、時間を確認したところ、その日は午後が一番良かったからです。
が、砂浜は現れず笑
というのも、本当にタイミングが大事なようで、干潮のタイミングでも季節が違うと砂浜に上がってというのができないようです。(残念)
しかし、関係なしに、このツアーではアクティビティが時間の許す限り楽しめます。SAP、カヤック、シュノーケリング、ビーチバレーなど遊び放題!特にシュノーケリングはサンゴ礁に魚がたくさん集まるポイントで、これは他のビーチに比べてもとても良かったと思える点です。
砂浜自体は白いので、水位がある程度下がれば、とても綺麗な場所でアクティビティを楽しむことができるので、景色を楽しみつつ、海でのアクティビティには最高の場所でした!

I had previously been taken care of a few times, and this time I requested private lessons for my daughter, who just started elementary school (7 years old)! She was a bit scared at first, but Matt-sensei taught her in a fun way, and before we knew it, she was doing nice rides multiple times! Despite being scared and cold, it seems she had a great time.
I was also able to ride a few times nearby with a board I rented separately, which became a wonderful memory.
Since they incorporate some Japanese while standing, I think even those who can't communicate in English can enjoy it enough. I want to go to Hawaii again soon; thank you for your help next time as well!

This was the best way to cap off our O'ahu vacation by having a relaxing snorkel, a crazy banana boat ride, easy paddle boarding and just chilling in the ocean surrounded by some of the most gorgeous scenery you could find anywhere. The crew were fantastic and so friendly, they were patient with everyone and even got to chat with Preston about him moving from Mesa, AZ (we're from Scottsdale, AZ). If we are ever in O'ahu again, we are absolutely doing this as it was so fun an easy and one of the most enjoyable things we did while on the island. Definitely worth our money and time - give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

I signed up for a 150m course at the request of my 13-year-old niece. I was initially worried since it was about the height of a five-story building, but the wind was stable, so it wasn't as scary as I thought. The view was, of course, amazing! The guide made jokes and interacted with us, making the time on the boat enjoyable. You can fly while holding a selfie stick.
I thought the meeting place was a bit hard to find, but they sent a Google Maps link in the final instructions, so I was able to arrive without getting lost.
It's a unique experience, and I'm glad I did it! Highly recommended!
