No one spoke English, but the local coordinator was very kind, interesting, and made it enjoyable for us.

英語が誰ひとり、できませんでしたが、現地のコーディネーターの人が大変、優しく、おもしろく、接していただき楽しめる事ができました

I am at fault for being late, but I was delayed in checking in due to traffic conditions, and it seems my reasons were not accepted, so the fee of 150,000 yen will not be refunded. I thought at least I could change the time, but that was also not allowed. I feel so sorry for the children; it was the worst.

時間に遅れた私が悪いのですが、交通事情でチェックインに遅れ、理由を聞き入れてもらえず、代金15万円は返却されないようです。せめて時間変更をと思いましたが時間変更も駄目ということ、子供達が可哀想で可哀想で､､､最悪でした。

I received a clear explanation of the history of the Kingdom of Hawaii in Japanese. It was a meet-up at the location, but it was close to the bus stop, and since the area is residential, it was fine. It was my first time doing hula dancing, but they taught it slowly, so I was able to keep up! Making leis was also fun. I highly recommend it!

ハワイ王国の歴史を日本語でわかりやすく説明していただきました。現地集合でしたが、バス停からも近く、周囲は住宅街なので大丈夫でした。フラダンスは初めてでしたが、ゆっくり教えてくださったので、ついていくことができました！レイ作りも楽しかったです。お勧めです！

Since the tour was during high tide, the island didn't appear, just a shallow sea. The guides were kind, but overall, I think the price was high. I don't think I'll try again.

満潮時にツアーだった為島は現れずただの遠浅の海。
ガイドさん達は親切ではあったがトータルしても料金は高いかな？リベンジしようとは思わない。

This time, I came to Hawaii with my 8-year-old grandson, and we participated in a tour where we could play with dolphins at Sea Life Park. It was an experience that we can't have much in Japan, and my grandson was very happy. At first, he was a little scared, but the staff guided us well, so he gradually got used to it and seemed to have fun. I also enjoyed it, feeling nostalgic since it had been a while since my last visit.

今回は8歳の孫と一緒にハワイに来たのでシーライフパークでイルカと遊べるツアーに参加しました。日本国内ではあまり経験できないことができて、孫は大変喜んでいました。最初は少し怖がっていましたが、スタッフの誘導が上手なので徐々に慣れてきて、楽しそうでした。私も久々に訪れたので懐かしさもあり楽しめました。

Although the weather was cloudy with occasional rain and the tide was somewhat high (around 1 meter at the sandbar), I believe it was not the best climatic condition. However, thanks to the cheerful and warm-hearted staff, the captain's performance, and the adorable marine creatures we encountered, we added a wonderful page to our memories of our first trip to Hawaii!

I participated with my wife and our children, aged 4 and 8, and our whole family was able to enjoy the activities with peace of mind from our respective positions.

Thank you very much!

曇天～時折雨天で潮位もやや高く（サンドバーで1m前後？）、決して気候的にはベストコンディションとは言えない状況だったと思いますが、陽気で暖かな心遣い満点のスタッフのみなさん・キャプテンのパフォーマンスやかわいい海の住民たちとの出会いにより、初めてのハワイ旅行の思い出に最高の１ページが加わりました！
妻と４歳・８歳の子供たちと参加しましたが、家族一同それぞれの立場で安心してアクティビティを満喫できました。
ありがとうございました！

Wonderful small tour with great guide Henry ✨️ lots of fantastic information and lovely attractions. Lunch was awesome too by Millies! Yum great value and excellent tour guide Henry

Great experience arranged by great people! I Can highly recommend this trip.

This was probably the best tour we went on during our trip. The snorkeling was arguably better than Hanauma Bay. There were less fish, but the corals were in way better shape and the water was a lot calmer. I probably spent most of my time just snorkeling. The kayaks and paddle boards were alright. There isn’t much to do on them so I didn’t really spend much of my time on those. I saw mostly a parent and their kids riding the kayaks. There is a platform in the middle that you can hang out in. The food was good, but I suggest bringing extra snacks as I got a little hungry after hanging out at the sandbar. For drinks they only served beer and hard seltzers, but they gave you the option to bring your own if you’re into that. We were there during high tide so there wasn’t much to stand on, but you can still get your feet on the sand in some parts. We opted for the banana boat and bumper tube and this probably was my favorite part. Banana boat was okay, but the bumper tube ride was insane. I got the opportunity to ride solo on one of the runs and I asked them to give me the crazy ride, and man did they deliver. BIG shoutout to the guy towing the tube. The staff was awesome and super accommodating. They let everyone have fun while keeping it safe. Definitely the best experience out of all the other ones we did in Oahu (cruise, Kualoa ranch, hanauma bay, shark swimming). Would recommend and is a 100% must do in my opinion.

My family and I had such an amazing time at this Luau. Felt so welcomed, the staff was so friendly and organized. Really appreciated the digital photos included and the veggie dish I received was so yummy!

Once a year, I travel to Hawaii with my wife to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and we enjoy dinner at Taormina. This year, we had a wonderful time again with delicious food and the staff's warm hospitality. When I mentioned to the staff that it was our 31st wedding anniversary, they surprised us with a dessert plate at the end of dinner, making it a memorable and fantastic dining experience once again. I definitely plan to return to Taormina next year!

一年に一度結婚記念を兼ねて妻とハワイに旅行し、タオルミーナでディナーを楽しんでいます。今年もまた美味しい料理とスタッフさんのホスピタリティーあふれるおもてなしに最高の時間を過ごす事が出来ました。今年で結婚31周年だとスタッフさんにお話したところ、ディナーの最後にサプライズのデザートプレートを出して下さり、今年も思い出深い最高のディナーを楽しむ事が出来ました。また来年も必ずタオルミーナに帰って来ようと思います！

We loved our Raptor trip at Kualoa Ranch. The property is beautiful with so many great stories, and the tour guides were great. We highly recommend!

The tour was awesome. My 13 and 11 year old loved it and loved getting to hear all the stories of the different actors that have been there and left wanting to watch a ton of movies! Sam was great and so was our tour guide! Loved being able to get off and take pictures at different spots

The sliders here are all incredibly enjoyable and fun. This time, a Japanese staff member provided various explanations and assistance, which was very reassuring. You can take one unopened bottle of water per person, so it's more economical to bring your own. Credit cards are accepted within the facility, so you probably don't need to bring cash. I think the locker fees have gone up a bit. During my visit on August 1st, the large locker was $18.

ここのスライダーはどれも最高に気持ち良く、楽しいものばかりです。
今回は、日本の方が、色々と説明してくれ、アシストもしてくれるのでとても心強かったです。
水は、一人一本未開封のボトルが持っていけるので、持って行った方が節約になります。
施設内では、クレジットカードが使えるので、現金は持って行かなくてもいいかと思います。
ロッカー代は、少し値段が上がってると思います。今回8月1日の利用でしたが、大きいロッカーが18ドルでした。

The entire boat crew made this an experience to remover for ever. If you are in the area, I would highly recommend booking an evening tour with them, job well done!

We participated as a family of three. While cruising on the boat, the waves were quite strong, and the driver enjoyed riding the waves, resulting in most people getting soaked, which made for a fun time. I was trying to avoid the splashes, but my daughter was having a blast and making a lot of noise. I would love to participate again.

家族3人で参加しました。クルーザーで海を流していると、波が結構強く、運転手も楽しんで波にのり、大半の人がビシャビシャになり、楽しい時間でした。私はシブキを避けてましたが、娘は大騒ぎではしゃいで楽しんでました。また参加したいと思いました。

This activity is one of the best ! You get to swim in clear blue waters . The crew is very professional and they help you feel safe . The views are amazing and surreal. The crew is helpful and super nice. My kids felt safe and loved it

We participated as a family of three, including our third-grade daughter. Since we were staying in the Waikoloa area, we drove to the meeting point in a rental car. It was quite a distance (about 40 to 50 minutes), but we enjoyed the drive. Along the way, we spotted some wild goats, which delighted our child.

The boat was quite rocky, but it seemed that no one was seasick. However, for those who are worried about seasickness, I recommend taking some medication beforehand. There were only two other Japanese families besides us among the participants, with the rest being Korean and Westerners. The staff only spoke English, but they provided a written notice in Japanese, so as long as you can speak a little English, it shouldn't be a problem.

The boat had two slides, which our daughter was really looking forward to, but we were surprised when we arrived! The slide's starting point was on the second floor of the boat, and the end of the slide was about three meters above the water surface, so it felt like you were almost falling into the sea. I was too scared to try it myself.

You can also dive or jump off the boat, which can be done from both the second and first floors. Snorkels and fins are available for rent, as well as life jackets or something like floaties. Since it was our daughter's first time snorkeling, she initially borrowed a bodyboard with a bottom window. As she got used to the water, she expressed a desire to try snorkeling on her own, so we rented a tube float, a child-sized snorkel, and fins, and enjoyed snorkeling together.

There was also a small child, about two years old, enjoying the sea on a board, so I think people of a wide range of ages can enjoy this activity. On the way back, snacks were provided. The snacks included taro chips and cut pineapple, and drinks included water, but for those who wanted, soft drinks could be purchased for one dollar, and alcoholic drinks were also available for a price I can't remember.

小3娘と夫婦の家族３人で参加しました。
私たちはワイコロアエリアに宿泊していたので、集合場所まではレンタカーで向かいました。
集合場所まではかなりの距離（40〜50分ほど）がありましたが、それもドライブと思い楽しみました。途中、野生のヤギを見かけたりして、子供は喜んでいました。
船は結構揺れますが、船酔いしている人はいなかった様です。ただ、船酔いが心配な方は酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいと思います。
参加者は日本人は私たちの他に２組ほど。あとは、韓国系の方や欧米系の方々でした。スタッフは英語しか通じません。でも、日本語で書かれた注意書きを貸してくれるので、専門的な英語は分からなくても多少の英語が話せれば問題ないです。
２台のすべり台が付いている船ということで、娘はとても楽しみにしていましたが、着いてびっくり！なんと、船の２階部分がすべり台の乗り場になっていて、すべり台の終わりがなんと海面からおよそ３メートルほども上なので、ほぼ海面に落ちるという感じです。
さすがに、怖くて私もできませんでした。
あとは、船からダイブというかジャンプしたりもできます。これは、船の２階からでもできるし、１階からもできます。
シュノーケルとフィンは貸し出してくれます。ライフジャケットか浮き輪のようなものも貸してくれます。娘は初めてのシュノーケルだったので、はじめは底窓付きのボディーボードのようなものを借りました。海に慣れてくると、自分でもシュノーケルをやってみたいと言い出したので、チューブ浮き輪と子供用シュノーケルとフィンを借りて、一緒にシュノーケルを楽しみました。
２歳くらいの小さな子もボードで海を楽しんでいましたので、幅広い年齢の方が楽しめると思います。
帰りにスナックが出されます。スナックはタロ芋チップスとカットパイナップル、飲み物は水が含まれますが、希望者は１ドルでソフトドリンク、値段は忘れましたがアルコールドリンクも買えます。

I experienced three activities: jet skiing, banana boat, and bumper tube. Each activity had plenty of time allocated, and I was tossed around so much on the banana boat and bumper tube that I was practically begging for help. I'm very satisfied.

ジェットスキー、バナナボート、バンパーチューブの3種目を体験しました。それぞれの体験時間も十分確保されていて、バナナボートやバンパーチューブはもう助けてってくらい引き回されました。満足です。

Outstanding staff! Awesome experience for kids and adults! Beautiful island!

We didn't get to see any turtles but there were lots of fish. Overall we had a good time

I got lost and arrived late for the meeting time, but the staff kindly guided me. The moving boat was going quite fast, and I was filled with fear thinking about being pulled at that speed, but once I took off, I didn't feel the speed in the sky and was able to enjoy the scenery gracefully. Since the boat sways a lot, I think it's better to take motion sickness medication.

道に迷ってしまい集合時間に遅れて到着したのですが、スタッフさんが優しく案内してくださいました。移動の船はかなりのスピードが出ていて、この速さで引っ張られるのかとかなり恐怖心を煽られましたが、飛んでみると空の上ではスピードは感じず優雅に景色を楽しむことができました。
船の揺れがすごいので酔い止めは飲んだ方が良いと思います。

I was moved by the incredibly beautiful sea. There was transportation to the main points in Waikiki, and there was a Japanese guide on the boat who provided plenty of explanations, so I felt secure and enjoyed myself. I was able to try SUP, which I had always wanted to do, and I saw many fish while snorkeling (although I didn't get to see any sea turtles…). For snacks, there were donuts, and the soft drinks available were water, orange juice, and hot water. There is a changing room on the boat, so it's better to bring a change of clothes. You will end up freezing on the air-conditioned bus ride back.
It seems that you need to go with a different tour company to visit the so-called sandbar (a beach surrounded by the sea). The area we played in was shallow enough to stand, but it was a bit deeper in some spots.

とにかく綺麗な海で感動しました。ワイキキの主要ポイントへの送迎があり、船には日本人のガイドさんも乗っていたので説明も十分にしていただき安心して楽しめました。ずっとやってみたかったSUPもできたし、シュノーケリングではたくさんの魚が見れました。(ウミガメには会えませんでした…)軽食にはドーナツ、ソフトドリンクは水、オレンジジュース、お湯がありました。船の中に更衣室があるので着替えを持っていったほうがいいです。凍えながら冷房の効いたバスで帰ることになります。
いわゆるサンドバー(海に囲まれた砂浜)は別のツアー会社じゃないといけないみたいです。我々が遊んだ海は足がつくけどちょっと深めのところでした。

It may have been a coincidence, but the Japanese were only among themselves. I was a bit anxious since there were no explanations in Japanese, but I was able to enjoy dolphins and snorkeling in a world without Japanese, which was different from Waikiki, without any major issues.

たまたまかもしれませんが、日本人は自分たちだけ。
日本語の説明は一切ないので不安もありましたが、大きく困ることもなく、ワイキキとは違う日本語のない世界でイルカやシュノーケルを楽しめました。

This is my second experience, following last year. At first, I feel nervous, but it's very pleasant and a fun activity.

去年に続き、2回目の体験です。
初めはドキドキしますが、とても気持ちがよく、楽しいアクティビティです。

What an amazing place, everyone was super friendly and we had a blast!! Cool places to stop and take pictures. Don't forget to bring a change of clothes.

Start from the beach at the Royal Hawaiian.
When you show the VELTRA voucher (on your smartphone screen) at the poolside reception of the Royal Hawaiian, your check-in is complete. You can take off your shoes and have your bag stored. There may be someone who speaks Japanese among the staff.

We participated as two adults and three children (a high schooler, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and we all got on one canoe, along with the captain and the paddler, totaling seven people. Everyone except for the small children basically needs to paddle. It requires quite a bit of strength. It can be tiring.

However, the refreshing feeling of gliding smoothly over Waikiki Beach is wonderful. You typically make about three round trips. (There isn't much time to take photos, but I think it's possible to take selfies if you waterproof your device perfectly.)

Additionally, they take photos for you, and if you pay, they have a system to send them to you online. I think it was around $60.

ロイヤルハワイアンの砂浜からスタート。
ロイヤルハワイアンのプールサイドの受付にベルトラバウチャー（スマホ画面）を見せると受付完了。靴を脱いで、バッグも預かってもらえます。女性の日本語がわかる方がいらっしゃる場合があります。

大人2人子供3人（高校生、中学生、小学生）で参加しましたが、1台のカヌーにのり、船長と漕ぎ手が乗り合計7人でのります。小さな子供以外は、基本的に漕ぐ必要があります。結構な力で漕ぎます。疲れます。

ただ、ワイキキビーチを颯爽と滑る爽快さは素晴らしい。大体３往復くらいしてくれます。（写真を撮る余裕はあまりないですが、防水完ぺきにして自撮りすることは可能と思います）

なお、写真は先方で撮ってくれていますが、お金を払えばネットで送ってくれるシステムです。60ドルくらいだった気がします。

You don't need to speak Japanese fluently; just asking a few questions will be fine. You can show the voucher from Veltra (on your smartphone) at the store, and they will understand.

First, you'll put on surf boots and a rash guard. (The boots are bundled with rubber bands by size, so just pick a pair. The rash guard is yellow for those in the photo pack and navy blue for everyone else.)

After that, you'll watch a short video and walk to the beach. *You can't take your wallet or smartphone with you, as you'll need to leave them in the store's locker. If you want to take photos, it's a good idea to ask a friend who isn't surfing to help.*

Once you pass in front of the Honolulu Zoo and reach the beach, you'll carry your board to the sand. There will be about nine participants with three coaches. After a brief practice of getting on and standing on the board, you'll head out immediately. You'll paddle out to the ocean on your own, which can be quite tiring at this stage.

Once you're out in the water, the three coaches will help you catch the waves, making it easy to ride. You'll be able to stand up right away. After that, you'll enjoy surfing back and forth for about an hour. In the later part, I often practiced catching waves on my own without relying on the coaches.

It's perfectly fine for children aged middle school and older.

日本語は基本通じませんが、適当に聞いておけばOK。
店舗でベルトラのバウチャー（スマホ画面）を見せれば伝わります。
まず、サーフブーツとラッシュガードを着ます。（ブールはサイズごとにゴムで束ねてあるので、適当に掃きましょう。ラッシュガードは写真パックの人は黄色、通常の場合は紺色と決まっています）

その後、簡単なビデオを見て歩いて浜まで行きます。
※財布やスマホなどは店のロッカーに預けるので、持っていけません。写真を撮りたい場合は、サーフィンをしない仲間に依頼すると良いかと思います。

ホノルル動物園の前を抜けて浜についたら、ボードを担いで砂浜まで。大体9人くらいの参加者に3人くらいのコーチが付きます。ボードに乗ったり、立ったりする練習を簡単に行えば、即出航です。自分でパドリングして沖まで行きます。この段階で結構しんどいです。

その後、沖に出たらコーチ3人が波を読んで押してくれるので簡単に乗ることができます。全然一発で立てます。その後、1時間くらい行ったり来たりしながらサーフィンを楽しみます。後半はコーチに頼らずに自分で波をつかむ練習をしていることが多かったです。

中学生以上の子供であれば、全然OKです。

I like the driver, he was kind and the bus is clean, the staff on the boat was professional, my family is so happy , I will join again when we visit Hawaii, thanks for your service.

I visited on a Saturday, and it wasn't crowded, so we were able to enjoy the slides smoothly! My two children, both in the third grade, were very satisfied sliding down the slides. The wind was strong, so it occasionally felt cold, but when we were in the sun, it got quite hot, making it difficult to regulate our body temperature, haha.

土曜日の利用でしたが、混んでおらずすいすいとスライダーを楽しめました！小学生３年の子供２人も、スライダーで滑って大満足です。風が強いので、時折寒く感じることはいつもですが、日当たりにいるとかなり焼けるので体温調整が難しいですｗ
