Hawaii
Great day, great crew. Extremely safety conscious company. We had a rough ride a fair way so it was good to feel in safe hands. Saw many dolphins and a few turtles too.
Originally, I hoped to visit the Polynesian Cultural Center from the afternoon to the evening, but it was fully booked. I ended up joining the morning tour, and I was very satisfied!
The bus guide's stories about Hawaii were enjoyable, and when it was time to say goodbye, I genuinely felt that I wanted to come back.
In the afternoon at the Polynesian Cultural Center, I had lunch and explored each village. On the flight there, I watched "Moana" and realized that they really lived a similar lifestyle, which made me feel the resilience of humanity.
The show of climbing the palm trees was breathtaking! I was amazed by the incredible speed and height!
This is a recommended spot to visit when you come to Hawaii!
元々ポリネシアカルチャーセンター着からの
昼から夜希望でしたが、予約でいっぱい。
朝一からのツアーになりましたが大満足でした!
バスガイドさんのハワイ話は楽しく
別れの時にはまた来たいと素直に感じました。
昼からポリネシアカルチャーセンターで
昼食から各村を見学。
行きの飛行機でモアナと伝説の海を見ましたが
本当に同じような生活をしていたのだと実感し
人間の逞しさを感じました。
ヤシの木を登るショーは圧巻!
尋常じゃないスピードと高さに度肝抜かれました!
ハワイにきたら行ったほうがいいオススメスポットです!
Waiting to be collected for our bus was a little anxious as there were so many people and buses arriving at once especially when we did know what our bus looked like.
Once our driver called Larry found us we were directed to the bus. Larry kept us well informed and was very organized and courteous. Thank you for an enjoyable day.
I deeply realized that there are many moving experiences in the world that you can only understand by experiencing them. Thank you for a wonderful time. When I close my eyes, it feels like a sky full of stars appears.
経験してみないとわからない感動が世の中にはたくさんあるのだなとしみじみ思いました。
素晴らしい時間をありがとうございました。
目を瞑ると満天の星が浮かんでくるようです。
We enjoyed the tour, however it was distracting to have the driver singing over the music video and playlist. No one in our group enjoyed that at all and would have rather heard local commentary, island history, or just the recorded artist's voice.
The canyon scenery, boat ride, and fern grotto were beautiful and amazing.
Smooth, interesting and all round pleasant ride to a beautiful place.
We had a great guide Wendy! Thanks for all the information on Kauai and the movies.
I usually ride in British style, but this time I went for a Western style trail ride. Surprisingly, it was easy and enjoyable, making it suitable for beginners as well. The magnificent scenery from the hill along the way is beyond words. I was satisfied to experience the great nature of Hawaii.
いつもは、ブリティッシュスタイルで乗馬をしてますが、今回は、ウエスタンスタイルでの外乗でした。
案外、簡単で楽しく初めての方でも楽しめる内容です。
途中の丘から観てる壮大な景観は言葉にできないくらい最高です。
ハワイの大自然に触れることが出来て満足でした。
The local staff's response was good. They also introduced a great place for lunch with delicious garlic shrimp. I would like to mention that the response from the VELTRA staff was not very satisfactory, and it was quite difficult until my reservation was confirmed.
現地の担当スタッフの対応が良かったです。
昼食も美味しいガーリックシュンリンプのお店を紹介してくれました。
VELTRAのスタッフの人の対応がいまいちで、予約が確定するまで大変だったことを申し添えます。
On the first day of my arrival, since I couldn't predict the time, I opted for a trolley day pass instead of a time-specific tour to head to Diamond Head. The trolley made stops for about five minutes at scenic spots, allowing me to take some photos. I got off at Kahala Mall and enjoyed dining and shopping.
入国初日は時間が読めないため、時間指定のツアーにせずトロリー1日券でダイヤモンドヘッドへ向かいました。景色のいいところでは5分くらい停車してくれたので写真も撮れました。カハラモールで降りて食事とショッピングを楽しめました
I went to Hawaii Island for this purpose. The breathtaking sunset and starry sky exceeded my expectations, and I wanted to stay there forever. I thought I would be able to see the starry sky at the summit based on the tour overview, but it seems there are regulations for this mountain, and we had to go a little lower, not just for this tour. However, it was said that going a bit lower is better, and the guide shared various stories, which was really nice.
What was also great was that the guide was very knowledgeable about cameras! They took pictures with the camera we brought and taught us tips on how to take beautiful photos. The sunset and starry sky were truly beautiful, and it became the best memory of my trip!
これが目的でハワイ島に行きました。
想像を大きく上回る絶景のサンセット、星空でいつまでもいたかったです。
ツアー概要を見て山頂で星空を見れると思っていましたが、この山での規定があるそうで、ここのツアーに限らず少し下ります。
でも、少し下った方がいいそうで他にも色々なお話をしてくれてとてもよかったです。
そしてとてもよかったのが、ガイドさんがカメラにかなり詳しいこと!自分達が持っていったカメラでも撮ってくれたり、綺麗にとるコツを教えてくれます。
本当にきれいなサンセットと星空で、旅行で一番の思い出になりました!
Our guide Justin was great,couldn't have had a more informative person. His personality made the tour,along with the way he helped everyone special needs
Had a great time. It's worth it. Highly recommeded
It was great to do hula dancing together on the return boat; everyone was friendly. The cost performance is outstanding.
帰りの船の中で、みんなでフラダンスなど、フレンドリーでよかったです。コストパフォーマンス抜群ですね。
Yam P was very good at talking and it was fun the whole time, but unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset due to bad weather. I want to try again, but I wonder when I can go... That was the only disappointing part. It was nice to stop by the Claw Lodge, visit Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, and go to the supermarket as well. I'm not sure if the starry sky was affected by the weather, but it wasn't that impressive... just as I expected. I've participated in a similar sunset and starry sky tour at Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island, and that one was definitely more beautiful and moving. If I get the chance to go again, I might want to try for a redo. The guide, Yam P, was really great, so I would like to request him again!
山Pさんはとても話し上手でずっと楽しくて良かったのですが、肝心のサンセット、天候が悪く見れませんでした。またリベンジしたいのですが、いつ行けるのやらです。。。そこだけが残念でした。途中クラロッジに寄ったり、クリスピークリームドーナツに寄ったり、スーパーにも行けて良かったです。星空は天候のせいなのかは分かりませんが・・・感動はさほどで。。。思った通りでした。ハワイ島のキラウェア火山で同じようなサンセット&星空ツアーに参加したことがありますが、そちらの方が断然綺麗で感動しましたよ。また行けるときがあればリベンジしようかな。ガイドの山Pさんはすごく良かったのでまたお願いしたいです!!
Learnt so much about the Polynesian way, such an insight. Would definitely come back! The tour guide we had was soooo funny and so informative!
Our tour guide Jason was great. Just wished the seats was more comfortable for the long journey. We were able to feel every bump and crack on the road going to PCC, that part i didn't enjoy, even heading back to Waikiki was miserable and rough.
Good activities. Well organised
Bus driver/guide was very informative and friendly.
It was uncertain whether we would see whales towards the end of the season, but unfortunately, we didn't. I will try again.
シーズン終わり近くで、クジラが見られるか微妙でしたが、残念ながら見れませんでした。
また挑戦します。
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠にありがとうございます。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
It's been over 20 years since I started visiting the Big Island, but I've always hesitated to join the Mauna Kea summit tour. This is because the experience can be greatly affected by the weather! This time, I could only participate on May 3rd, so I made a reservation with a feeling of leaving it to luck! The result was a huge success! On the way, the conditions at the Onizuka Center were heavy clouds and light rain, but as we got closer to the summit, it turned into clear skies! The sunset view from the summit was truly breathtaking! The stargazing afterward was also wonderful! The tour guides were knowledgeable and provided fun explanations, so I was able to enjoy the experience without getting bored. Thank you very much!
ハワイ島へ訪れるようになって20年以上経っているのに、マウナケア山頂ツアーへはいつも二の足を踏んでいました。それは、感動のバロメーターが天候に大きく左右されるからです!今回日程的に参加できるのは5月3日のみというコトで、運を天に任せる気持ちで予約を入れました!結果は大正解!途中、オニヅカセンターでは重い雲&小雨のコンディションでしたが、山頂に近づくにつれてピーカンに!山頂から見るサンセットは、それはそれは感動でした!その後の星空観測もとても素敵でした!ツアーガイドの方々も博識で、楽しくいろいろ説明をして下さるので、飽きることなく楽しめました。ありがとうございました!
The sunset viewed from the summit of Mauna Kea and the starry sky spread across the entire sky was a sight I will never forget!! If you're considering it, I absolutely think you should participate!! It was a wonderful tour!! I want to bring my parents along next time!!
マウナケア山頂から見たサンセットと空一面に広がる星空は、一生忘れることのできない景色でした!!迷われている方がいたら、絶対に参加するべきだとおもいます!!
とても素晴らしいツアーでした!!また両親を連れて参加したいです!!
Good tour for our needs. Tell the people NO BAGS so everybody does not have to go back to pick up bags that never should have been on the bus!!
Who could pass up a tradition of Hawaiian tourism that has been in operation since 1947?! The Smith family was awesome. They were very friendly and kind. We were fortunate to be on the first boat of the day and in a small group. The morning was cool yet very comfortable. While we waited for our tour to start, the on-board talented trio of musicians were taking requests, joking and visiting with the passengers. Once on the river, the captain gave us an overview of the points of interests along the way as we passed stand-up-paddle boarders and kayakers enjoying the quiet river too. We were treated to a beautiful hula demonstration, native music and an improv hula lesson! After a short walk to the grotto, our "guide" explained some of the history and folk lore about the grotto, afterwards, they sang the Hawaiian Wedding song to us. It would be fun to go back again!
My husband and I enjoyed exploring Hawaii through the hiking shuttle to Diamond Head and Manoa Falls. I would highly recommend this for others visiting Oahu!
Our driver was very friendly and when half of our friends hadn't come down on time he was very forgiving. He gave us plenty of info and everything ran on time. He gave anple time at both hikes to get it all done. It was a great day!
The half-day tour of Oahu felt really like an add-on. It was disappointing that we spent quite a bit of time stopping at a jewelry store that wasn't mentioned in the itinerary. I thought the students at the Polynesian Cultural Center were truly dedicated and wonderful. The show was also impressive.
オアフ島半日観光は、本当におまけ的な感じでした。途中記載になかった宝石屋さんに寄って、結構時間を割いていたのは残念です。ポリネシア文化センターは学生さんが本当に皆、一生懸命で素晴らしいと思いました。ショーも圧巻でした。
The explanation for shark watching was all in English. I couldn't understand what they were saying at all, but I managed! When I put on my snorkel and peered into the sea, there were over 20 sharks! They didn't come close, so it didn't seem dangerous. However, it was a bit challenging to see them while battling the rough waves. But that was thrilling and fun! I had to wait for others to have their turn, so the time on the boat was long, which made me a bit seasick. But I’m glad I did it! ♪
シャークウォッチングの説明は全て英語。何を言ってるか全然分からなかったけど、なんとかなる!シュノーケルを付けていざ海の中を覗くとそこにはサメが20頭以上いた!でも近付いてくるわけじゃないから危険ではなさそう。でも荒波と戦いながら見る事が少し大変。でもそれがスリリングでまた楽しかった!だけど他の方の番も待たないといけないので、船の滞在時間が長いため船酔いした。でもやって良かったと思いました♪
Our main event this time was horseback riding. Last time we did it at Kualoa, but here the duration was longer, and the horses were smart, which made it a安心 experience. It was disappointing not to see any turtles, but we were able to have lunch at a restaurant we researched in Haleiwa, and we also had time for shopping. Haleiwa drops you off at your requested location, so I think it's good to do some research beforehand. It's only an hour, so if you haven't checked, it goes by in a flash. Horseback riding truly became the main event this time, and it was fantastic!
私たちの今回のメインイベントだった乗馬でした。前回はクアロアでやりましたが、ここは時間も長く、かしこい馬さんで安心して乗れました。亀には会えず残念でしたが、ハレイワでも調べていた店でランチができ、ショッピングする時間もありました。ハレイワはリクエストの場所に降ろしてくれるので、調べていかれるといいと思います。1時間ですので、チェックしてなかったらあっという間ですよ。乗馬は今回のメインイベントにちゃんとなり、最高でした!
another must thing to do with a local guide and guided tour inside cultural center is recommended who knows where to go and not miss any of the activities in each village. Best Luau ever !!!
highly recommended if you want to see USS Arizona and Missouri and learn about history and see planes and experience how hard to work on a submarine with limited space
