It was a long-awaited trip to Hawaii with my daughter. She wanted to go to Hanauma Bay, which we visited many times when she was a child, so I tried to access the Hanauma Bay entrance site at 7 AM two days ago to make a reservation. However, as I was entering the information, the availability quickly disappeared, so I signed up with Veltra.
The price felt a bit high, but once we participated, we were impressed by the guide's thorough information and they took us to the outer reef, which we would have been worried about going to on our own. We encountered three sea turtles and had a wonderful time.
On the way back, we also received recommendations for nearby restaurants and local information, which made us very satisfied. During snorkeling, the guide was present both in front and behind our group, allowing us to enjoy it with peace of mind. I was also really pleased to receive the photos the guide took from Facebook.
If you're hesitating to sign up, I absolutely recommend it!
娘と久々のハワイの旅でした。
子供の頃に何度も行ってたハナウマ湾に行きたいと娘が言うので、2日前の朝7時からのハナウマ湾入場のサイトにアクセスして取ろうと思ったのですが、入力してるうちにみるみる空きが無くなってしまい、ベルトラさんに申し込みました。
料金は少し高い気がしたのですが、参加してみたらガイドさんの丁寧なインフォメーションと、自分達では行くのが心配になるリーフの外まで案内して頂き、ウミガメ3匹と遭遇
素晴らしい時間を過ごしました
帰りがけにも、ホテルに近いオススメのレストランや現地の情報も頂き、とても満足しました。
シュノーケリングの最中もグループの前後に、ガイドさんがいて下さるので、安心して楽しめました。ガイドさんが撮って下さった写真もFacebookから頂けて本当に満足しております。
申し込もうかと迷ってる、絶対おすすめです‼️

First, we received a very clear and enjoyable explanation from the Japanese staff, and then we boarded the ship! The interior of the ship was very clean, and the donuts for a light snack were delicious. The banana boat ride was thrilling and a lot of fun. Personally, I wanted to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and it was a great experience to do it in such beautiful waters. We were also able to enjoy warm drinks, and the staff were all very cheerful, energetic, and kind, making for a wonderful time.

I attended this tour with my mom, who is over 50 years old and does not know swimming at all. My mom was quite excited and worried about this tour, and was about to quit at the very first start, while Dan told us not to nervous, taught us how to breath with our mouth and even a little swim skills. After that, my mom and I succeeded to finish this tour and we saw a lot of different fish with Dan’s guide. That was fun. We really appreciate Dan for giving us such a perfect snorkeling experience, will try again when we visit Oahu again in the future, hope we could do better next time :D)))
You guys did great! Hope we see you again.

Nice Excursion- took their shuttle from Waikiki (extra fee) which took about 40 min because had 3 other hotel stops. Boat to Sandvar was about 10 min, lunch was tasty, music on boat was terrific and added ambiance. Was a cloudy day and even rained but even though chilly and not ideal was fun to have the opportunity to canoe ride, paddle board and snorkel in one area and one fee. Banana boat and tube ride (right at arrival to sandbar) was SUPER fun, lasted about 5 min each. Felt it should be longer for price per person. Overall was a nice afternoon experience, for cost though would say unless you do all of the activities it’s pricey. Staff was professional and friendly.

The weather was somewhat lacking, but the sun came out occasionally, making it a decent day. The guide on the boat spoke Japanese clearly, so I felt reassured that I could hear the explanations well. At the sandbar, the sea sparkled beautifully, and it was very moving. It was amusing to watch the beach volleyball match between the participants, which turned into a Japan-US competition. (I was thinking to myself, "You went to the beach, and you're happy about that?" haha)
I wasn't expecting much from the hamburger for lunch, but it was very delicious and the portion was just right; it might have been the best part of the tour!
I participated in the last snorkeling session where I could stand, but since it was a few meters deep, I didn't join in to accommodate my family who can't swim. I recommend understanding that snorkeling will be in places where you can't stand before participating. Also, the large shuttle bus was comfortable for both trips, which was nice.
今一な天候でしたが時より太陽も出てまあまあな天気でした
船上でのガイドさんは日本語でかつ良く通る声なのでしっかり説明が聞けて安心できました。
サンドバーの所では海がキラキラ輝いてとても感動しました。
ツアー参加者同士のビーチバレーが日米対抗になっていて見ていて面白かった
(海に行ったんだろ?そんなので喜んでどうするって自分に突っ込んてましたがw)
昼食のハンバーガーは期待していなかったのですが、とてもおいしく量も丁度良くツアーの中でこれが一番良かったかなw
一番最後のシュノーケリングは背が立つレベルなら参加しましたが、数メートルあるそこそこ深い所の為、金槌の家族に合わせ参加しませんでした。背が立たたない場所でのシュノーケリングという事を理解した上で参加されることをお勧めします。
あと送迎のバスが大型で往復ともゆったりできたのは良かったです。

Normally, you need to reserve tickets individually two days before the desired date, but considering the risks of not being able to secure them and the travel involved, I applied for this tour. During the summer vacation period, if you go for the morning session, there can be long traffic jams due to people hoping to buy same-day tickets. If I had gone individually, there would have been many confusing situations, so I’m really glad I went on the tour. Since it was in the morning, the water temperature was low, and I rented a wetsuit for $10. Thanks to that, even someone like me who gets cold easily was able to enjoy the experience fully. I didn’t see any sea turtles, but it was sunny with high visibility, and I was able to see a lot of fish, which was great. The guide was very knowledgeable, and the smooth guidance provided a sense of security, which was very good.
本来であれば参加希望日2日前に個人でチケット予約しなければいけないのですが、うまく取れないリスクや移動のことも考えこちらを申込ました。
夏休みの時期は午前の部の場合ですと当日券目当てに長い渋滞が発生します。
個人でもし行っていたら色々混乱しそうな場面が多かったのでツアーで行って本当に良かったです。
午前ということもあり水温は低く、10ドルのスーツをレンタルしました。おかげさまで寒がりの私でもフルで楽しめました。
海ガメは見れませんでしたが晴れていて透明度が高く、魚がたくさん見れて良かったです。

I was able to see dolphins on both dives! During the first dive, I couldn't see them up close, but they arranged another opportunity for me, and this time I was able to see them at close range. In the end, they guided us to a spot where we could see many turtles, and it was a very satisfying tour. By the way, it can get quite bumpy, so motion sickness medication is a must.

This was a great experience for our family. The banana boat and bumper ride was a fun time and I’d recommend for families to do together. We all had time to use the paddle boards and kayaks as well as try our hand at snorkelling. The crew was super friendly, informative and attentive while we were getting to the sandbar and throughout the activity. Snorkelling is limited to small fish amongst the reefs but great for novice snorkelers. Highly recommend this excellent excursion!
