The zip line gradually becomes higher and longer, designed to be more exciting and high-speed, making it a lot of fun. The guides are also great at getting everyone excited, creating a sense of togetherness as we all enjoy ourselves. It's true that if you can't speak English, you might miss half of the conversation, but even so, I was able to participate in the discussions and feel the enjoyable atmosphere.

ジップラインは次第に高く、長いものになり、よりエキサイティングかつハイスピードになるよう構成されていて、すごく楽しいです。
ガイドの方も盛り上げ上手で、みんなで楽しもうという一体感があります。
確かに英語ができないと、話半分になっちゃいますが、それでも話の中には参加でき、楽しい雰囲気を感じることはできました。

Very chill. Lots of history on trip. Great dinner.

I participated in the "Kualoa Ranch ATV & Tree Planting Experience," where we toured movie locations with a private buggy and learned about SDGs through planting sacred koa trees. However, we were unable to plant koa trees. Since there was no koa tree planting, I showed a paper with the tour details that I printed in Japan at the end of the tour and earnestly tried to communicate in Japanese, but it didn't get through well since the person was American. It seemed like they were saying there were no koa trees and no place to plant them, but perhaps they mentioned that taro could be planted? After the tour, I appealed to the Japanese guide at Kualoa Ranch, and VELTRA also helped resolve the issue, refunding the cost for the koa tree planting.

The electric bike was faster than the ATV, and going by horse or bike is also a good option. You can order lunch, but it seemed crowded and might take a while. I brought my own rice balls to eat.

クアロアランチ　四輪バギー＆植樹体験　貸切バギーで映画ロケ地などを巡る！神聖なコアの木の植樹を通してSDGsを学ぶ＜1日／送迎付きプランあり＞に参加したんですが、コアの木植樹はできませんでした。コアの木植樹がなかったので、ツアーの最後に日本で印刷していったツアー内容を書いた紙を見せて、一生懸命日本語で訴えましたが相手はアメリカ人でうまく伝わらず。コアの木はない、植える場所もないといっているようであった、タロイモは植えれると言っていたのかな？ツアー後クアロアランチの日本人ガイドに訴えたら、VELTRAさんも問題解決に協力してくれて、コアの木植樹の費用は返金していただきました。
四輪バギーより電動自転車が早かった、馬でいくもよし、自転車でもよし。昼食注文して食べることができるが混んでいて時間がかかりそうであった。おにぎり持参して食べた。

We saw so many whales. So happy to tick this off my bucket list ❤️

We had a great time parasailing as a family of four.

My eldest son has autism. While he understands what is being said, he struggles to express his thoughts and feelings verbally, and he is classified as having a severe disability. However, he loves feeling the wind and cutting through it, so I decided to take the plunge and sign him up for this first experience.

When I informed the receptionist that we wanted a no splash experience, she kindly agreed and assured me that she would definitely communicate this to the captain. When we boarded the boat, the captain confirmed again whether my son was the one with a disability and if it was okay to avoid splashes. The assistant also encouraged my son, who seemed anxious, with phrases like "It's so much fun! It feels great! You'll be fine!" in simple Japanese.

Putting on the harness was not straightforward. My son, unsure of what to do, kept putting his feet in and out of the harness. The assistant remained patient and never showed any signs of frustration, asking him if he wanted to take a step back or if he wanted to come back to it later, waiting for his timing multiple times. I was truly grateful for that. Thanks to the kind assistant, my son began to trust him and accepted the assistant touching the harness without resistance.

The captain also made sure not to burden my son, frequently checking in with him and praising him with "Good job!" just for putting on the harness. Before we took off, both of them encouraged me, saying, "Don't worry, Mom! Just enjoy!" I was on the verge of tears. My son, who had been stiff and unresponsive on the boat, responded to my encouragement at 150 meters in the air, saying it felt nice and that the view was beautiful. Of course, we returned to the boat without any splashes as requested. My son looked relieved and refreshed, with a bright expression.

The parasailing was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii! Despite my son's challenges, he had a wonderful time soaring through the sky. I am extremely satisfied that he was able to have such a fantastic experience, thanks to the kind-hearted captain, the assistant, and the receptionists. Thank you very much!

パラセイリングを家族4人でお世話になりました。

長男は自閉症で、言っている事は分かりますが、自分の考えや思いを言葉で伝えてる事が難しく手帳も最重度です。
しかし風を感じる事や風を切る事が大好きなので、初体験させてみようと意を決して申込みしました。

NOスプラッシュでと受付のお姉さんに伝えると、快くokして下さり、必ずキャプテンに伝えますと言って下さいました。
いざ乗り込むと、キャプテン(船長さん)からハンディがあるのは彼か？スプラッシュは辞めるでOKか、など再度確認して下さいました。アシスタントの方も、めっちゃ楽しい！気持ちいい！大丈夫！と片言の日本語で不安そうな長男を元気づけてくれました。
ハーネスを付けるのも一筋縄ではいきませんでした。
ハーネスをどうするのか、見通しが立たない長男は足をハーネスに入れたり抜いたり。
そんな長男にアシスタントの方は嫌そうな表情を全くせず、後にする？カムバックしてこようか？と、長男のタイミングを何度も待ってくれました。本当に有り難かったです。
そんな優しいアシスタントさんのおかげで長男も心を許し、アシスタントさんがハーネスを触る事に抵抗無く受け入れていました。

キャプテンも長男の負担にならないように、何度も声かけしてくれたり、ハーネスを付けただけなのにグッジョブ！と褒めて下さったり。飛ぶ前、ママ大丈夫だから楽しんで！とお2人からの声かけに、私が泣きそうでした。
船の上で顔も体も固まっていて声かけに反応薄かった長男は、上空150メートルで気持ち良いね！キレイな景色だね！など私からの声かけにキレイや気持ち良いと返事してくれました。
もちろんお願い通りスプラッシュせずに船に戻ってきました。長男は少しホッとした感じと爽快感で清々しい表情をしている様に見えました。

今回のハワイ旅行で1番のメインイベントのパラセイリング！障がいを抱えた長男でしたが、楽しく空中散歩できました。
本当に優しい心遣いできるキャプテンやアシスタントの方を始め、受付のお姉さん達のおかげでステキな体験を長男にさせてあげる事ができ大満足です。
ありがとうございました！

The check-in location was easy to find, and signing the agreement was very smooth. The boat I participated in had only my family and foreign guests, but it was very lively and fun! There was a lady with some mobility issues, but she was able to enjoy herself without any problems! We didn't get wet at all (if you want to get wet, it's okay to go deeper). It was a very valuable experience! The check-in staff, captain, and assistants all spoke English, but the conversations weren't too difficult, so it was fine! The agreement was in Japanese!

チェックイン場所もすぐに分かって、同意書のサインなどとてもスムーズでした。私の参加したボートは私達家族以外は外国の方だったけど、とても盛り上がり楽しかったです！足が少し不自由なマダムもいらっしゃいましたが、全然支障なく楽しんでいらっしゃいました！水に濡れることもなかったです（濡れたい場合は深刻すればOK）とても貴重な体験でした！チェックインの方、キャプテン、アシスタントしてくださる方みなさん英語ですが、そんなに難しい会話はないので大丈夫！
同意書は日本語でした！

The guides were very kind, cheerful, and lively, and the tour itself was enjoyable!

However, the reason I gave it 4 stars is that I wish I could have enjoyed snorkeling a bit more. About 10 years ago, when I participated in a snorkeling tour in Hawaii, I was amazed to see many colorful fish up close under the guidance. But this time, the dolphins, turtles, and fish were all at a distance... It was disappointing because I couldn't distinguish their colors.

Points to note:
- Even with two long-sleeved rash guards, it was still cold...! It would be good to prepare long pants or consider a wetsuit.

- I read that I should bring just enough money to buy a little food, so I went empty-handed, but at the end, there was a tipping situation, which made it really awkward. Including the tip, it has definitely become much more expensive compared to 10 years ago…!

- For those who are prone to motion sickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must. There were kids sitting there looking unwell the whole time, and it was sad to see.

ガイドの皆さんとても優しくて明るくてノリノリで、ツアー自体は楽しかったです！！

ただ、⭐︎4にした理由は、もう少しシュノーケリングを楽しめたらよかったなぁと思ったからです。
10年前くらいにハワイでシュノーケリングツアーに参加した時は、案内のもとたくさんのカラフルなお魚を間近に見られて感動したものです。
だけど今回はイルカもカメもお魚も遠目で…
色は判別できない距離感だったので残念に思ってしまいました。

注意点
・上は長袖ラッシュガード2枚重ねても寒かったです…！下も長いものを用意するとか、ウェットスーツおすすめ。

・持ち物のお金は少し食べ物が買えるくらいと書いてあったので手ぶらで行ったら、最後チップを払う流れになったのですごく気まずかったです。
チップ含めると、10年前よりかなり高くなりましたよね…！

・酔いやすい人は酔い止め必須です。ずっと気分悪そうに座ってる子達がいて可哀想でした。

The tide was high, so it was hard to fully enjoy the sandbar, but I had a great time playing with activities and meeting sea turtles. There were floaties prepared for small children who can't snorkel, as well as for adults, so even those who aren't good swimmers will be fine.

潮位が高く、サンドバーは堪能できたとはいいがたいですが、アクティビティで遊んだりウミガメに会えたり、とても楽しかったです。
シュノーケルができない、小さな子供用の浮き輪や大人用にも浮具が準備されていたので、泳ぎが苦手でも大丈夫です。

The sea was calm, and I didn't experience any seasickness at all. Snorkeling in the beautiful water felt great, but it was a bit cold for the season. The snorkeling area is somewhat limited, so if you're looking to swim more vigorously or dive deeper, you might want to consider other locations. On the other hand, it's a safe spot where even children and beginners can enjoy snorkeling without the risk of drowning, so I think you can relax and have fun. In the second half, you can freely use canoes and stand-up paddleboards. There’s no formal instruction, but it's something anyone can easily do, so overall, it feels very accessible for participation.

海は穏やかで船酔いも全く無かったです。
シュノーケルもキレイな海でいい気持でしたが、時期的に少し寒かったです。
シュノーケルはある程度決められた範囲内なので、もっとガッツリ泳ぎたかったり、潜りたい人は他の場所の方がいいかもしれません。
逆に子供でも初心者でもシュノーケルで溺れる様な場所ではないので、安心して楽しめる都思います。
後半はカヌーやサップを自由に使えて、指導とかはないですが、これも誰でも簡単に出来るので、全体を通して気軽に参加出来るイメージです。

I previously participated in a similar tour in the Maldives, and while it might have been the timing, I had a hard time seeing sea turtles. However, on this tour in late March, I was able to see over 10 sea turtles. In fact, I found two before boarding the boat at the port.

The crew was also former residents of Japan and spoke fluent Japanese, which surprised me with how fluent they were. They were all very nice, and even my shy daughter seemed to open up to them.

Thank you for providing an experience that allowed my children to snorkel with sea turtles and tropical fish, and play at the sandbar—an experience we couldn't have in Japan.

以前モルジブで同じようなツアーに参加しましたが、時期もあるかもしれませんが、ウミガメになかなか会えず大変でしたが、このツアーは三月下旬での参加でしたが、10匹以上のウミガメさんに会えました。なんなら、船に乗る前に港ですで2匹見つけました。
クルーも元日本在住で、日本語ペラペラで、流暢すぎてビックリしました。
いい人ばかりで、人見知りの娘も、心を打ち解けているようでした。
参加して、子供達にウミガメや熱帯魚とのシュノーケリング、サンドバーで遊んだりした日本では味わえない経験をさせていただき、ありがとうございました。

In a large facility, two girls were having a great time. The bodyboarding was fun, but it seems the thrilling water slide was the best part. The 123 cm tall girl was also able to enjoy it. Instead of a lunch pack, there was an all-you-can-eat option. The steak was surprisingly tender.

The only downside was the pickup. We arrived at the park 30 minutes late.

大きな施設で2人の女児は大騒ぎ
ボディボードも楽しかったけど、絶叫ウォータースライダーが一番でったようです
123センチの女児もokでした
ランチパックではなく食べ放題でした
ステーキの牛肉も思いの外柔らかかったですよ

残念だったのはピックアップです
30分遅れでパークに到着しました

The world of Cirque du Soleil!
The charm that captivates the audience is the best!
If the schedule fits, I definitely recommend it! 🤩

世界のシルク・ドゥ・ソレイユ！
見る人を惹き付ける魅力は最高です！
スケジュールがはまれば、是非、おすすめです❗🤩

It's a small theater... that's my impression upon entering.

Our seats were in the second row from the front, on the side, but once it started, there were performances overflowing beyond the stage, making it hard to know where to look. The entire theater became the stage.

小さな劇場だな…
入場時の印象です。

私たちの席は前から2列目、サイド側にかかったところでしたが、はじまると舞台以外にもパフォーマンスが溢れどこを見ていいかわからないくらい。劇場全体が舞台になりました。

I thought that a two-hour horseback riding experience wouldn't cover much distance or time, but to my surprise, it was a perfectly ample amount of both! It was an activity where I could enjoy the most breathtaking views while glancing at other tour groups. (I also experienced zip-lining on the same day.) I don't think there are many horseback riding experiences in Japan that allow for such a generous amount of time. I highly recommend giving it a try!

乗馬2時間、といってもさほどの距離や時間はないだろう、と思っていたら、なんとなんと！きっちりたっぷりの時間と距離で、他のツアーの人を横目に見ながら1番絶景を拝めるアクティビティだったのでは？思います（同日にジップラインも経験）
こんなにたっぷり時間を取れる乗馬体験は日本ではあまりないのではないかな、と。
是非チャレンジしてください。

I had a faint hope that there might be Japanese-speaking staff, but as indicated in the prior information, it was English only. However, the staff used gestures and the few words they knew to provide guidance (though it was just a small part), so I encourage you not to hesitate and to give it a try.

There probably isn't another place in Japan where you can enjoy seven zip lines of this length, scale, and breathtaking views. If you go to Oahu, definitely check it out! Of course, there are risks involved, but I wholeheartedly recommend it.

もしかしたら日本語対応スタッフがいるだろう、という淡い期待を持っていましたが、事前の案内通り英語オンリーでした。ただ、スタッフもジェスチャーや知ってる単語を使いながらレクチャーしてくださるので（と、言ってもごくごく一部）、是非、尻込みせずチャレンジいただきたいな、と思います。
おそらく日本でこれだけの長さ、規模、絶景の７本のジップラインを楽しめる場所はありません。
オアフ島に行ったら是非！もちろんリスクは伴いますが、心からオススメします。

It was more fun than I imagined. I experienced it with my 8-year-old child. When you reach the top, all you can hear is the sound of the wind and the voices of people flying; it's just a few minutes to enjoy the scenery. I didn't wear a hat because it might fly away, but I had no problem keeping my sunglasses on. They also check how much you want your feet to touch the water, so it's fine if you don't want to at all, or if you just want your toes or up to your backside. The staff also communicate well with gestures and broken Japanese, so there's no problem even if you don't speak Japanese. After it was over, it's a 3-minute walk to Whole Foods.

想像以上の楽しさでした。8歳の子供と体験しました。一番上まで上がると風の音と一緒に飛んでいる人の声しか聞こえない、とにかく景色を楽しむ数分間です。帽子は飛びそうだったので被りませんでしたが、サングラスは着けたままでも問題なかったです。途中で足を着水する程度も聞いてくれるので、なしでも良いし、足先だけかおしりまでなのか伝えれば大丈夫。お兄さんたちも英語が分からなくてもカタコトの日本語とジェスチャーで対応してくれるので問題ないです。
終わったあとホールフーズまで歩いて3分です。

This is a tour where you dive about 100 feet deep to observe fish and other marine life. You board a boat from the port of Waikiki and then switch to a submarine for the dive.

At first, there isn’t much to see and there are few fish, but as you get closer to a sunken airplane or ship, you encounter large schools of fish! After viewing one side, the submarine turns around to show the guests on the opposite side as well. Along the way, we also saw sharks and sea turtles swimming.

The guide's explanations are in English. I should have downloaded the Japanese guide in advance, but I forgot. However, the English explanations provide real-time descriptions of the situation, so I’m not sure if the Japanese explanations follow that. I think it’s better to try to listen to the English.

Before boarding the boat, they take photos which they develop and sell by the return trip. You can also download the data via QR code later, but that is also paid. I believe the experience of seeing the fish in person is more valuable than the photos, especially since you can see them without diving.

100ftほどの水深に潜り魚などを観察するツアー。ワイキキの港から船に乗り、海上で潜水艦に乗り換えて潜ります。

潜った当初は何もなく魚も少ないですが、沈んだ飛行機や沈没船の近くに来ると魚の大群が！片側が見た後は旋回して逆側のお客さんにも見せてもらえます。
途中、サメや海ガメが泳ぐ姿も見られました。

ガイドさんの説明は英語。事前に日本語のガイドをダウンロードすれば良かったのですが、忘れてました。ただ、英語の説明はリアルタイムの状況説明なので、日本語の説明がそれにならっているかは分かりません。頑張って英語を聞いた方が良いかと思います。

船に乗る前に撮影した写真を帰りまでに現像して売りに来ます。データはQRコードで後日でもダウンロードできますが、そちらも有料。
写真よりも実際に見る魚たちの方が貴重な体験だと思います。ダイビングせずとも見られるんですから。

Booking through Veltra was easy, and simple. No issues with transportation or arriving at your destination. Everyone was so kind and knowledgeable it was absolutely beautiful and a must. I would 1000 percent do it again, but a different tour option at the ranch since they had so many choices. Either way I absolutely recommend booking with Veltra I shopped around and glad I chose them. UTV is a must. Veltra was even great as I had to switch hotels and pick/drop off and they made it so easy to do. Thanks!

Fun day with the family . Loved the kayak and hike. Waterfall was beautiful but crowded with tourists (like us).

Izzy was an amazing guide and really made the trip that much more fun!

This was an incredible experience! The trails were just challenging enough to give you a respect for the ruggedness of the Kipu Ranch and Kauai. The beauty you see is jaw dropping! As a parent you always like your kids to learn something away from their electronics - Cousins Dave and Kyle do an exceptional job sharing the history of Kauai and the Kipu Ranch. This was an adventure that my family will always remember and reminisce about for many years. Thank You to all at the Kipu Ranch for the best vacation adventure of our lives.

It was my first time paragliding. The weather was nice, and there was no stress from waiting in line, so it was enjoyable. However, due to the heavy rain the day before, the sea was murky, and the spot where we paraglided was right at the boundary. If we could have gone a little further, we could have paraglided in clearer waters, which was a bit disappointing.

人生初めてのパラセーリングでした。
天気も良く順番待ちなどのストレスも無く楽しかったです。前日の大雨の影響で海が濁っており、パラセーリングした場所がちょうど境目で、もう少し先に行っていただければ、きれいな海でパラセーリングできたのに、そこだけが残念でした。

My husband and I really enjoyed our ride down into the valley. We learned a great deal of history from our guide as well as trivia like the fact they used Waipio Valley as the "Dry Land" in the movie Waterworld.
It's a beautiful and magical place.

Great Whale watching trip out of A Bay! The crew was easy going, informative and interesting.

Everything was perfect. We were the envy of our group. When we got to Honolulu airport our greeter was right there

It was very organized. The staff were all helpful and happy. I’ve always wanted to see whales and this tour made it all possible. Didn’t want the tour to end!

It had been a while since I visited Hawaii, and I was thinking about how to get from the airport to Waikiki, but I was able to move smoothly thanks to my reservation from Japan. The price was also reasonable, and it was my first time using this service, but it was great.

久しぶりのハワイ、空港からワイキキまでの移動をどうしょうか考えてましたが、日本からの予約でスムーズに移動できました。値段も安く初めての利用でしたが良かったです。

I was deeply moved for the first time in a while by the powerful stage that utilized the space above the audience. The integration of the audience and stage in the production and stage design was impressive.

観客席の頭上も使った大迫力のステージで久々に心の底から感動しました
観客とステージが一帯となる演出や舞台構成が圧巻でした

A little relaxing and adventure. Crew was very friendly and fun. Always felt safe in and out of the water. Meals were good. Would definitely recommend and we would go again!

Fun experience for the whole family. Great crew, fun drinks and good unexpected food.

Since there were other people with us, the waiting time and the return to the port felt long. I wish they would limit it to about three groups at most. I also thought it would have been nice to have a pickup to the hotel.

他の人も一緒なので、待つ時間・港にもどるまでが長く感じました
最高でも、3組くらいにして欲しい
ホテル迄の、お迎えもあったら良かったと思いました
