I had the best experience on my last night in Hawaii. I was seated at the back, but since the venue wasn't that large, I had a great view of everything around me. I also bought some souvenirs: a T-shirt for $34, a bottle for $28, a Corkcicle bottle for $54, and ornaments for around $10.

ハワイ最後の夜に最高の体験ができました。最後尾の席でしたが、会場もそれほど大きくないので、いちばん周りを見渡せ、見晴らしが最高に良かった。お土産も買いました。Tシャツ34ドル、ほかボトル28ドル、コークシクルのボトル54ドル、オーナメントは10ドル前後。

This is my third manta tour, and each one has been different. This time, I felt the most at ease. Having support from Japanese staff was really helpful. The moment the manta appeared was truly breathtaking. However, it was quite cold during this season, and the return trip to the port was chilly, so those planning to go should prepare accordingly.

マンタツアーは3回目ですがそれぞれちがうツアーで今回が一番安心できました
日本人のサポートがあるのは本当に助かります
マンタの出てくるポイントも本当にまじかに　現れ　感動の瞬間でした
ただ　時期的に寒く　港に着くまでの帰路は寒かったので行かれる方はそれなりの準備をしてくださいね

I experienced parasailing, bumper tubing, and jet skiing. All of them were fun. The sea was beautiful, and it was the best experience.

パラセーリング、バンパーチューブ、ジェットスキーを体験しました。どれも楽しかったです。海も綺麗で最高の体験でした。

Even as a beginner at fishing, the crew helped me, and I had a great time. I caught three fish. The bait was squid, which I put on myself. It was fun.

釣りが初心者でも、クルーが助けてくれて、楽しめた。3匹も釣れた。エサはイカで自分でつける。楽しかった。

The performance of everyone was wonderful, of course, but I was particularly surprised by the act where one man spun on the soles of another man's feet. However, what left the biggest impression on me was the air ensemble that involved bringing four audience members up on stage; it made me laugh out loud after a long time.

演技される皆さんの素晴らしさは勿論で、特に男性の足の裏でもう一人の男性が回転する演技は驚きました。
しかし1番印象に残ったのは観客を4人ステージに上げて行われたエアー合奏でした、久々に大声で笑わさせてもらいました。

I had always wanted to see whales at least once in my life! I imagined witnessing their majestic leaps from the ocean and their tail fins sinking like ginkgo leaves. When I had the chance to go to Hawaii in January, I thought this was my opportunity and signed up. I waited on the deck for two hours, filled with excitement and anticipation, but unfortunately, they never appeared. I understand that encounters with nature depend on luck, but it was disappointing. Still, I believe I will see them someday, and I would like to sign up again. The tour was easy to understand and friendly, and the boat was large, which gave me a sense of security.

一生に一度は見たいと思っていたクジラ！海から躍り出る雄姿や、海に沈んでいくイチョウのような尾ビレが見られたらと思っていました。今回Hawaiiに１月に行くことで、これはチャンスと思い申し込みました。ワクワクドキドキしながら、甲板で2時間待ちましたが、とうとう現れてくれませんでした。自然界との遭遇は運もあるとは思っていましたが、残念でした。でも、いつかは見られると信じて、また申し込みをしたいと思います。ツアーは分かりやすく親切で、船も大きくて安心感がありました。

The Makapu'u Lookout, included in other tours, is a viewpoint located at the base of this cape. While it offers beautiful scenery worth visiting on its own, the view towards the ocean is limited due to the small hill in the direction of the cape. The trail on this tour goes around that hill, and especially in the latter half, you walk along the cliffs towering over the vast ocean (the path is well-maintained, so it's not dangerous) and ascend to the highest point overlooking the lighthouse. The grandeur of the scenery along the way is incomparable to the lookout. You should definitely experience it.

This tour itself does not include any other sightseeing, just a round-trip shuttle to the trailhead, but I think it is the most convenient means of transportation from Waikiki to this trail.

他のツアーにも含まれているマカプウルックアウトは、この岬の付け根にある展望スポットで、もちろんそこだけでも行く価値のある美景ですが、岬方向が小高い山になっているため、海原方向の眺望は臨めません。このツアーで行くトレイルはその小山を回り込んで、特に後半は大海原にそびえる絶壁の上を歩いて（歩道はよく整備されているので危なくはないです）、灯台を見下ろす最高地点まで上ります。その道中の景色の壮大さは、ルックアウトとは比較になりません。ぜひ体感してください。
なおこのツアー自体はトレイルの入口までの往復シャトルで他に特に観光を含みませんが、ワイキキからこのトレイルまでの交通手段としては最も便利だと思います。

You can enjoy a horseback riding experience in the wonderfully beautiful nature shown in the photos. The horses are all gentle and well-trained, and even as a beginner, I had a great time riding.
There are Japanese versions of the notices and forms available on-site.
The guide speaks only in English, but they talk very slowly and clearly.
Wearing a helmet while riding is optional, but it's best to wear one.
The ranch is located at an altitude of about 1000 meters, and it can get quite cold when the wind blows or it rains. They can lend you a jacket, but make sure to prepare for the cold as well.

写真のような大変素晴らしい自然の中で、乗馬体験ができます。お馬さんたちはみな大人しく、よくトレーニングされており、初心の私も楽しく乗馬を楽しめました。
現地での注意書き、記入用紙などは日本語版が備えてあります。
ガイドは英語のみですが、大変ゆっくりとわかりやすく話してくれます。
乗馬の際にヘルメット着用は選択性になっていますが、必ず着用しましょう。
牧場は標高が1000mくらいの所にあり、風が吹いたり雨が降ったりすると、かなりの寒さになります。ジャケットは貸してもらえるのですが、防寒対策もきちんとしていきましょう。

The water was crystal clear and riding the stand-up pedal board was such a great experience. Every staff was very kind and welcoming. Also, kudos to the two musicians on the boat. The songs they played made the experience more enjoyable.

The staff provides various explanations in English throughout the tour. I thought it might have been more enjoyable if I could understand English better. There is no Japanese guide.

ツアーの間中スタッフが色々と英語で説明をしてくれます。英語がもっと理解できたらもっと楽しかったかもと思いました。日本語ガイドはありません。

The staff was very friendly. As soon as we got on the boat, we were able to see what looked like a whale's tail and back. There was music playing on the boat, and the breeze felt nice.

スタッフはとても親切でした。
ボートに乗ると直ぐにクジラのしっぽと背中らしきものをみることができました。ボートの中では音楽が流れていて風が気持ちよかったです。

I had been curious about this restaurant while walking in Waikiki for a while, but I felt it was somehow too upscale and didn't go in. This time, I requested it through Veltra, and I finally fulfilled my wish. Once inside, the food was delicious, and the staff was cheerful and friendly. I should have come in sooner!

このレストランは以前からワイキキを歩く時に気になっていたのですが、何となく敷居が高いような気がして入れませんでした。今回ベルトラさん経由でお願いして、やっと念願叶いました。
入ってみると料理も美味しく、スタッフも陽気で親切でした。もっと早く入ればよかった！

Dan is awesome! He is helpful and professional during the tour. Highly recommended!

It was a wonderful experience. Loved the ambience, loved the food, awesome performances & wonderful music. We opted for the traditional seating & we were able to enjoy the performance up close. Dancers & their performances were great & the music took us into a different world. Our four course meal was excellent & the service was fantastic. We tried food from the meat & the vegan menu & I must say both of them did not disappoint. Based on my research I found that this is the only place that offers a four course vegan meal. Me being a vegetarian it is always hard for me to find options but I was very happy to see that this place offered vegan options. The flavors were amazing & food was very delicious. We also got some photos clicked with the on site photographers :) which turned out to be our lovely memories of Maui. Overall, the beautiful sunset, sound of the waves crashing on the beach, delicious food & awesome performances made it a lovely evening for us. Thank you!

I absolutely loved this tour. I did go on a whale watching tour before but this one really is the best for me. We did an early morning tour & we were only a small group of 11 passengers on the raft. It almost felt like a private tour. The crew was super fun, they shared a lot of information about whales & were very happy to answer any question. Of course the main part, we saw whales!!! :) we saw them so up close & it was one of best experiences in my life. We had multiple whale sightings & we were also lucky to hear some of the whales sing. I am so glad we did an early morning tour the weather was perfect, we got to enjoy the sunrise, watch whales jumping out of the blue waters the perfect Maui vacation we wanted. It was a amazing & a totally next level experience for me. Thank you!!!

At Kualoa, there are Japanese staff members, so you can receive explanations in a polite manner, which is reassuring. There is also a Japanese video for the horseback riding instructions, so even if you don't understand English, you can manage. This time, I only did the two-hour horseback riding, but due to the shuttle schedule, there was a lot of waiting time, so I think it would have been better to book other activities as well. The scenery was very beautiful, but I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't a photo opportunity at the movie filming spots, as I had heard there would be.

クアロアには日本人のスタッフがいるので丁寧に説明を受けれて安心です。乗馬の説明も日本語のビデオがあるので英語がわからなくてもなんとかなります。今回は２時間の乗馬のみにしまが送迎の時間の関係で待ち時間が多いので、他のアクティビティも一緒に予約したほうが良かったと思いました。
景色がとても良かったのですが、映画の撮影スポットでの写真撮影があるときいていたのがなかったので少し残念でした。

The cruise was amazing. The crew was very friendly & their service was topnotch. We had nice breakfast & the food was being served time to time. Me being a vegetarian, I was very happy that they also had some veg/vegan options upon request. We had decent amount of time for snorkeling in both the spots (Molokini crater & turtle town) & saw see lots of colorful fish & corals. On our way back we also got to some whales which was the best part for me. We really enjoyed our cruise, it was super fun.

Brett was an excellent tour guide. Funny engaging and informative. It is a long day as the island is rather large. Greenwell Farms (coffee farm) was our first stop. Excellent coffee! Brett explained the growing and harvesting process, followed by tasting and souvenir purchases. Then on to the Punalu'u sweetbread bakery for treats. I lived the Lilikoi flavored pastry. Nice gift shop also. Next stop was Punalu'u black sand beach with a bonus sleeping turtle. Quick provided tasty lunch at a shady state park. Next into Volcano National Park. Brett has fantastic volcano pics. Kilauea was steeming and erupted hours later. Traveled down a large lava tube, very cool. Huge old lava fields. Next on to Rainbow falls and majestic Akaka falls on the East side of the island. On the North end, we visited Waipi'o lookout for sunset. It was along day, but excellent. Strongly recommend. Brett made the trip very enjoyable.

As others have mentioned, in Japan, many places require a license, and it's almost impossible for beginners to ride for two hours. The price, including transportation, is very reasonable. I was able to fully enjoy the vast grounds, including locations used for movie shoots!

他の方がおっしゃっているようにまず日本だとライセンスが必要なところが多く、２時間も初心者で乗馬できることはほぼないです。価格も送迎付きでこのお値段はとてもお得かと。映画のロケ地など広大な敷地を存分に堪能できました！

I heard that Cirque du Soleil started in Hawaii, so I went on New Year's Day. The ticket price was quite high, so I was almost at the very back, but I was able to see the stage from above and enjoyed it thoroughly!

ハワイでシルクドソレイユが始まったとのことで元旦に行ってきました。お値段がそこそこしたのでほぼ一番後ろの席でしたが舞台も俯瞰できて、十分に楽しむことができました！

Staff is amazing and so kind! The sandbar is so clear and beautiful, we even saw a sea turtle paddle boarding around!

Walking on the vast green areas like in the photo is rare, and you mostly proceed along mountain paths. I only saw one good movie filming location (which wasn't particularly striking), so if you're expecting movie-related attractions, a bus tour of the filming locations might be a good option.

写真にあるような広大な緑の上を歩くことは少なく、ほとんど山道のような所を進みます。映画のロケ地もいい一つしか見なかった(特にピンとくるものでもなかった)ので、映画関連のものを期待するなら、バスでのロケ地ツアーがいいかと思います。

My first time at Hanauma Bay, and I wasn't sure about the arrangements like needing a reservation as an individual, but having a guide made me feel secure. They took us quite far out for snorkeling, and I encountered a honu (sea turtle). I had snorkeled many times in Okinawa, but this experience was on a completely different scale. It was very enjoyable and became a great memory. Thank you very much.

初めてのハナウマ湾、個人だと予約が必要など段取りが分かりませんでしたが、ガイドさんがいて安心でした。
シュノーケリングはかなり沖の方まで連れて行って貰えて、ホヌにも遭遇。シュノーケリング自体は沖縄で何度も経験済みでしたが、全然スケールが違いました。
とても楽しかったです。良い思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

I've seen almost all of the Cirque du Soleil shows, and this one had a beautiful production that was perfect for Hawaii. However, my seat was right to the side, which was disappointing. I would like to see it from the front next time; can I choose that option with Veltra? The seating is crucial for the show, so that's the only downside. Overall, I was satisfied with the show itself.

シルクドソレイユのショーはほとんど観ていますが、このショーはハワイにピッタリの演出で綺麗でした。
ただシートは真横で残念でした。
今度は正面で見たいのですが、ベルトラでも選べるのでしょうか？
ショーはシートが命なのでそこだけが残念。ショー自体は満足です。

Wonderful experience and the lead guide was very good in explaining the area, the film 🎥 shootings, about the owner of the Ranch.

I used it as a means of transportation for the night illumination. There are illuminations near the venue, and I passed through there on my way to the venue. If you sit on the left side, you can see it well.

夜のイルミネーションで交通手段として利用しました。会場近辺にイルミネーションがあり、そこを通りながら会場へ。
左側に乗るとよく見えます。

This is my second time participating!
Even the second time, the buggy ride is fun!
The staff members who guide us may not understand English, but they are very enjoyable people!
I wish we could stop by more movie filming locations, but since I'm driving myself, it might be difficult time-wise!

2回目の参加です！
2回目でもバギーは楽しいです！
案内のスタッフさんも英語わからないけど、楽しい方々です！
映画の撮影場所にもっと立ち寄れたらいいなと思うけど、自分で運転するから時間的に難しいのかな！

This is my second time participating! The first time, the weather was bad and cold, and the sea conditions were terrible, so I honestly couldn't enjoy it much. Because of that, I decided to make a comeback this time, and I was able to participate in the best conditions with clear skies and low tide! Moreover, the local staff remembered me and came to talk to me, which made me very happy! I also got to see a lot of sea turtles, and it was so much fun! Both times, the same driver was there, and I really like him! I want to participate again!

今回2回目の参加です！
1回目は天気が悪く寒くて、海のコンディションも最悪で正直あまり楽しめませんでした。。
それもあり今回リベンジしたら、晴天プラス干潮で最高のコンディションで参加できました！
しかも現地のスタッフさんが覚えていてくれて話しかけてくれたのでとても嬉しかったです！！
ウミガメもたくさん見れてとても楽しかったです！！
2回とも同じ送迎の方でした、とても良い方で好きです！
また参加したいと思います！

Although the swell was big the couple days before, the snuba tour was great. We saw lots of fish, invertebrates and saw some pretty corals. Glad I bought a case for my phone so I could capture everything we saw. This was our son’s first exposure to snuba and he loved it. Now wants to get scuba certified. Doug and Josh were great guides! Would definitely do it again!

The horseback riding experience since our honeymoon was amazing. It would have been even better if there had been a break along the way. Riding for about two hours straight made my legs tired. Since we only walked slowly the whole time, it was quite safe and considerate.

新婚旅行以来の乗馬体験、最高でした。途中で休憩があればなお良かったかな。およそ2時間、乗りっぱなしで足が疲れました。
ずっとゆっくり歩いただけなので、かなり安全に配慮されたものでした。
