We had a great transportation to and from the boat. The driver was friendly, pleasant, and knowledgeable about the area.I loved being able to snorkel, swim and just be on the platform. There was musical entertainment on the boat, which was nice on the way to and on the way back from the sandbar. The crew made everything fun and made sure that everyone was safe. I would do it again, for sure, and maybe next time I will have the courage to try the stand up paddle board.

I was able to explore under clear skies without encountering any squalls.

I had high expectations for the movie location tour, so I felt it was just okay and wasn't particularly moved. However, I was impressed by the breathtaking views during the jungle exploration tour, especially since I didn't have high expectations for that. It's all about not expecting too much!

スコールにも合わず、晴天の中回れました。

映画のロケ地巡りは期待が大きかったこともあり、まあまあと感じ、感動まではいきませんでしたが、ジャングル探検ツアーは期待していなかった分、絶景に感動しました（笑）
期待し過ぎないことですね。

The evening of our tour wasn't the best as the clouds wouldn't leave the top of Mt. Haleakala. So, we didn't see the sunset nor the stars. Yoshi did take us to to other locations as we descended Haleakala and FINALLY the stars could be seen. We viewed the heavenlies for at least 30 minutes if not more. What fun!! And Yoshi provided us with coats and blankets to keep us warm. The donuts and hot coffee and tea was appreciated as well. It was a fun evening.

After the reception, you watch a Japanese safety video, and then it's time to start horseback riding. The horses are incredibly smart, so even beginners can ride with confidence. They will first teach you how to stop, start, and turn left and right, but since the horses are intelligent, they will walk and stop on their own without much input from you. Once you start, you won't get off the horse, and you'll ride in a line for a solid two hours or more through the great outdoors. The horses are equipped with bags where you can store drinks, so it's possible to drink while riding. Additionally, taking photos with your smartphone is allowed, so you can capture the beautiful natural scenery while riding. In Japan, you can't have such a long horseback riding experience, so I'm really glad I participated.

受付後、日本語の注意事項映像を見たら、乗馬してスタートです。馬はすごい賢いので、素人でも安心して乗馬できます。止まり方、スタートの仕方、左右方向への方向転換は最初に教えてくれますが、馬が賢いので、こちらが操作しなくても、歩いたり、止まったりしてくれます。スタートしたら、馬から降りることはなく、一列になってひたすら大自然の中を、みっちり２時間＋α、乗馬し続けます。飲み物等を入れれる袋を馬に装備しているため、乗馬しながら、飲み物を飲むことは可能です。また、スマホでの写真撮影はＯＫのため、乗馬しながら大自然の風景を撮影することができます。日本では、こんなに長い時間、馬に乗る経験はできないため、参加して本当に良かったと思います。

Mantas can be seen in other countries as well, but the encounter rate on the Big Island of Hawaii is overwhelmingly high, so I definitely recommend experiencing it. During the session I participated in, several large mantas swam right in front of me, providing a truly valuable experience. The Japanese-speaking guide was very attentive, making it a reassuring tour.

For those who will be participating:
- The boat will speed towards the destination for a while, and it can be quite bumpy. If you're worried about seasickness, it's recommended to take motion sickness medication before joining.
- It gets chilly after coming out of the water. Bringing a large towel can be useful as it can also serve as a wrap.
- Since it's a popular tour, seats can fill up quickly, so it's advisable to keep your belongings to a minimum (if you don't want to place them on the floor). A waterproof bag is recommended as a lot of seawater comes into the boat.
- There is only one Japanese-speaking guide, and of course, they won't be able to provide individual attention to everyone. Especially for beginners in snorkeling, it's safer to familiarize yourself with how to wear the snorkel, how to fit it, how to put on a wetsuit, and how to enter the water beforehand.

マンタは他の国でも見られるそうですが、ハワイ島での遭遇率は圧倒的に高いそうなので、ぜひ体験することをお勧めします。私が参加した回も、大きなマンタが何匹も目の前でくるくると回ってくれて、とても貴重な体験をすることができました。
日本語対応ガイドさんもきめ細やかに対応してくださって、安心できるツアーでした。

これから参加する方に向けて
・爆速のボートをしばらく走らせて目的地に向かいます。かなり揺れます。船酔いが心配な方は酔い止めを服用してから参加するのがおすすめです。
・海から出た後は冷えます。大きなタオルを持参すると羽織にもなるので良いと思います。
・人気なツアーで席が埋まることも多いそうなので、荷物は最小限がおすすめです(床に置きたくなければ)。海水が船内にかなり入ってくるので、防水対応の袋に入れると安心と思います。
・日本語ガイドさんは一名で、もちろん自分たちだけにつきっきりでケアしてくれるわけではありません。特にシュノーケリング初心者の方はシュノーケルの装着方法や合わせ方、ウェットスーツの着方や海への入り方等々、事前に知識を入れられるものは入れてから望んだ方が安心です。

The most perfect day ever. Captain Robin was beyond amazing and hannah was so lovely. The whole experience was a 10/10 it was my favorite day on the trip. I was with a party of 6 and the attention to making sure we all had a great time was so amazing. The snorkel was so ethereal we saw so many turtles and fishes. The sandbar activities were so fun. Would recommend to everyone !!

This time, I purchased from Veltra because there was a discount coupon. If there is no coupon, it's cheaper to buy on-site using coupons like those found in free papers. Also, for seniors, even at regular price, it's cheaper on-site.

今回はベルトラの割引クーポンがあったので、ベルトラから購入しました。クーポンがない場合には、フリーペーパーについているようなクーポンを利用して現地で購入したほうが安いです。
また、シニアのかたは定価でも、現地のほうが安いです。

This was the third time we have attended this luau and this was jut delightful. Instead of a buffet, servers brought dinner to us - a wide selection of Hawaiian flavors - just yummy!
Our server as Jonathan and he was just delightful...great welcoming personality like he really appreciated that we were there.
This is the best luau and the area and highly recommended.

I loved the cruise!... Sit in the back if you don't like the movement of the boat. The scenery and water was beautiful! We saw dolphins and turtles! The weather was beautiful!! Lastly, the crew was the best!!! Can't wait to go again!

It was great!! Relaxing...and the tour guides were SUPER!!!! Can't wait to visit again!

Driving the buggy can be a bit nerve-wracking at first, but you'll get used to it if you keep at it. I had so much fun driving for over two hours! You can enjoy a different side of Hawaii compared to Waikiki.

After the buggy ride, the lunch break before getting on the bus is short, so you should either order right away as soon as the activity ends or stick to something simple like a sandwich, otherwise, you won't have time to eat due to the high number of participants.

バギーの運転は最初不安があるものの、続けていれば慣れます。二時間以上運転してとにかく楽しかった！ワイキキとは違うハワイを満喫できます。
バギーの後、バスに乗る前のランチの時間が短いので、アクティビティが終了次第すぐに注文するか、サンドウィッチなど簡単なもので済ますかしないと、利用者が多いので食事をする時間がなくなります。

We chose Chief’s Luau for our honeymoon and it was one of the best moments of our trip. Chief made sure we laughed all the time and got impressed by the outstanding performance. Definetly worth it and we are sure we will go back.

Everything was great, exactly how it’s described
The timing, the staff, the photographer on board and under water was great, we saw the turtles, and dolphins, loved it
Take early time so u will be done by noon and you have another half of the day to do more or rest
My kids were excited to be in the water, they were little too small for snorkeling (4 and 2 years old) so didn’t snorkel

This was these best. Our guide Sarah was great! We received a history lesson along with great AV instructions. We enjoyed the entire staff all friendly and informative. Thank you Sarah and Team.. We will see you next year.

Exceptional cruise! Great service; friendly staff; fantastic entertainment; overall experience was outstanding!!! Highly recommend!!

I participated in a tour of Manoa Falls✌️
It wasn't just a trek; we learned about the plants along the way, found wild avocados, and touched a mahogany tree. I never knew the surface of a mahogany trunk, which becomes high-end furniture, looked like that (I won't say, so go touch it yourself).
Our guides, Jason and Tomomi, were amazing✨
We had lunch while overlooking Waikiki from Tantalus Hill.
The tuna sandwich from the popular spot, Andy's, was exquisite.
It's such a great deal since you can eat without waiting in line‼️
The view from the hilltop was fantastic, with Diamond Head on the left, the high-rise buildings of Waikiki in the center, and to the right, you could see from Honolulu Airport to Pearl Harbor, as Tomomi said, "half of Oahu Island."
The weather was perfect today, and we could even see Molokai Island faintly in the distance️.
It was a tour where you can feel nature close to Honolulu.

マノア滝のツアーに参加✌️
ただのトレッキングではなく、道沿いの植物の話や野生のアボカドを見つけたり、マホガニーの木に触ったり。高級家具になるマホガニーの幹の表面があんなだったなんて（言いませんよ　さわりに行ってください）
ジェイソンさんとともみさんのガイド最高でした✨
タンタラスの丘でワイキキを眺めながら、昼食。
人気店Andysのツナサンドは絶品
お店に並ばずに食べられるんですからお得感満載です‼️
丘の展望台からの眺めは素晴らしく、左手にダイアモンドヘッド、中央にワイキキの高層ビル群、右手にホノルル空港からパールハーバーと、ともみさんいわく「オワフ島の半分が見える」ものでした。
今日は天気も最高で、遠くモロカイ島までうっすら見えました️
ホノルル近場で自然を感じられるツアーでした

We totally enjoyed the show. It was very entertaining and kept us engaged right up till the end. The food was delicious & plentiful. The whole experience was awesome!

It was a fun experience to fully enjoy nature! However, the guide only spoke English, so I couldn't understand anything and couldn't enjoy it to the fullest. Although the sand dust flew around and made my face completely black, it was an experience that you can't have in Japan to ride through while looking at the sea and mountains on a buggy.

大自然を満喫出来る楽しい体験でした！
ただ、ガイドは英語のみなので全く英語が分からず楽しみ切れませんでした。
砂ほこりが飛んで顔が真っ黒になるけどバギーで駆け抜けながら海や山を眺めるのは日本では出来ない体験でした。

Our hotel was called Ilikai, and it was a bit far from the meeting place at the Sheraton, but we appreciated the adjustment to gather at the Hilton Hotel five minutes earlier. Additionally, the locals spoke a little Japanese, which made us feel at ease. Since it was late August, there were only two other families besides us participating, so we were able to enjoy the tour bus comfortably. The local facilities were not crowded, and it turned out to be a day that the whole family could enjoy.

我々のホテルはイリカイと言って集合場所のシェラトンからは少し離れてましたが、ヒルトンホテルへ5分前に集合と言う事で調整して下さり助かりました。
また、現地の方々も片言の日本語を使って下さり安心出来ました。
8月下旬と言う事も有り参加者は我々の他2家族と少なく、ゆったりとツアーバスが利用出来たのも良かったです。
現地の施設も混雑はなく家族全員で楽しめました一日となりました。

It wax a excellent all day your.
Thd Dole pineapple tour was only gor thd morning. At the end of Dole tourr we were a pineapple each!! We an awesome lunch by thd beach and visited local shops and pints of interest.

Our guide was very friendly and informative.

Wrestling would recommend this tour

Great experience. Worth it to rent the camera. Great views of the falls.

The desk help me with my shuttle and even helped me get to my shuttle. They help me with my suitcase.
The drive even told me where to be for my return shuttle to the airport so I would not miss it.
A+++++++ Will use again

Our party had a great time. All of the staff was very friendly and ensured we had fun and were safe. The whole experience was amazing.

In the afternoon, the sand wasn't packed down and felt like it was floating in the sea, but I had a great time with various activities! The banana boat was also amazing!

午後の時間帯で、砂はあわられておらず海にぷかぷか浮いている感じでしたが、いろんなアクティビティができて楽しかったです！
バナナボートも最高でした

We had such a great time here. The staff was very friendly. The views were amazing and we were able to feed animals and drive freely around the ATV course

I had a great time. I'm satisfied!

I read experiences and took motion sickness medication before participating. I was worried seeing someone on the previous boat struggling with seasickness, but thanks to the medication, I was able to enjoy the entire experience until the end.

It was amazing to go higher than I expected and see Waikiki from the sea!

とても楽しかった
満足です！

体験談を読んで酔い止めを飲んで参加しました。
前の船に乗っていた方が船酔いで辛そうにしているのをを見て心配でしたが酔い止めのおかげか最後まで楽しく参加する事が出来ました。

思ったよりも高く上がってワイキキを海から見ることが出来て最高でした！！

The pickup, local guidance, and snorkeling instruction were all great! However, it was a bit disappointing that the visibility was low due to the light rain and waves...

お迎えから、現地案内、シュノーケリング指導、とてもよかったです！しかし、小雨で波があったので、透明度が低く残念。。。

Turned out to be a perfect day and the crew were fabulous.

100% would do again

It was my first horseback riding experience, and the instructor was kind, fun, and led us accurately. I thoroughly enjoyed the two hours of riding in the great outdoors.

初めての乗馬体験でしたが、インストラクターさんが優しく楽しく的確にリードしてくれて、大自然の中での2時間の乗馬を満喫しました。

I thought everything and everyone was very organized. Staff friendly and informative.
The two guys that took us on the zip line trip made sure that we felt comfortable and safe.
Since this was my first time I was pretty scared but they were very encouraging. I’m glad there were 7 lines. It gave me a lot of opportunities to feel more comfortable.
The swimming hole was refreshing and lunch was good.
