You can only go to the sandbar if you join the tour, and there are no tours on Sundays, so my husband, who works on weekdays, couldn't join and I went alone. (By the way, most of the others were couples, so it felt a bit lonely!)

However, on the day of the tour, it was drizzling and overcast from the morning. The scenery was far from what you see in the photos; everything was gray. There's nothing you can do about the weather, so I suppose we can only hope for good weather.

Even though I participated alone, I was able to get explanations and practice for snorkeling at the sandbar. They provided explanations in both English and Japanese, so even if your English isn't great, you can feel at ease.

The hamburger for lunch was very delicious on the boat. The snorkeling in the second half wasn't very clear due to the bad weather, but I did see some fish.

However, it was really cold after getting out, and I was shivering. I had hot cocoa on the boat, but it didn't warm me up much. On the bus ride back, I was still in my wet swimsuit with just a cover-up, and the bus air conditioning was quite strong, making me shiver even more...

I recommend that participants try to take off as much wet clothing as possible and wear more layers for the return trip!

ツアーに参加しないとサンドバーまで行けないということと日曜日はツアーはないということで、平日は仕事だった主人は参加できず1人で参加しました。(ちなみに他のみなさんはカップルが多くてちょっと寂しい〜！)
しかし当日は朝からずっと霧雨の曇天。
写真のような景色とは程遠く、全部グレーでした。天候に左右されるのは致し方ないですから、こればかりは良い天気を祈るしかないかと思います。
1人参加でしたがサンドバーの時にシュノーケリングの説明と練習をさせてもらえます。英語での説明と日本語での説明をして下さるので英語がイマイチでも安心です。
ランチのハンバーガーは船上でとても美味しくいただきました。
後半のシュノーケリングも天候が悪かったので視界はあまり良くありませんでしたがお魚見えました。

ただ、とにかく上がった後寒くて寒くてガタガタ震えてしまいました。船上で熱いココアをいただきましたがなかなか温まらず。帰りのバスも濡れた水着を着たまま上に羽織って帰るのですが、これまたバスのエアコンがよくきいていてブルブル…。
参加される方は濡れたものは出来るだけ脱いで、行きよりたくさん着て帰れるようにすることをオススメします！

We had a really great experience overall. The staff was super friendly and helpfull. We highly recommend the kayak tour and the provider. Thanks a lot

Ferry ride was well organized, the Capitan even slowed so we could get a good look at the Dolphin, Whales on the way back to Maui!! Great ride and great experience, highly recommended. Also a great value.

We headed over to Ko Olina and drove to the main entrance of the Four Seasons Resort. Parking was valet so be sure to bring extra cash, which was $20 plus tip. The stargazing is located on the top floor of the spa building at the tennis courts.
Our guide Greg was very knowledgable and gave interesting tidbits about how the Hawaiians used the stars both in their folklore and in their navigation. The stars are quite beautiful in Hawaii so we were glad to have been able to do stargazing here.
Some of the most unique stargazing can only be done in the islands, so this was well worth doing for us!

The portions were super small but meals were good. Captain was amazing and whole crew very on top of things and friendly. Drinks were good.

We enjoyed the whole experience. The drive up was beautiful and we loved stopping for pics. The tubing adventure was great and all the staff very friendly and helpful. Lunch afterwards was perfect! Would recommend for families, just dress appropriately and know what your children can handle.

We had a great hike with our tour guide, Ryan. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was passionate about what he does and made a great day for us. The hike was just challenging enough without being too difficult. The lunch provided was great too. We didn't know what to expect going into this but had a great time and would recommend this to anyone. It's a great way to see a part of the island that we never would have seen otherwise.

Since I came to Hawaii, I wanted to see a hula show at least once, and I applied because it was conveniently located within the Royal Hawaiian Center and could be enjoyed quickly. The show exceeded my expectations with its incredible intensity.

First, I was overwhelmed by the hula dancers who appeared alongside an introduction to Hawaii's history, with their toned bodies, lovely smiles, and impressive dancing skills. I felt it was worth coming to see. Then there was a rock and roll show featuring impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. This was not just an ordinary impersonation show; the level of singing and dancing was reminiscent of the originals, thrilling the audience, and it was clear there was a deep respect for the artists in their wonderful performances.

Finally, there was the fire dance. The climax was filled with excitement and tension, and the stage was enveloped in loud applause and cheers from the audience.

After the show, when we exited to the lobby, the impersonators of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley were shaking hands and taking photos with each guest, smiling. My husband and I quickly took a photo with them as well. After being distanced from such experiences during the pandemic, it made me very happy.

ハワイに来たからにはフラのショーを一度観てみたいし、ロイヤルハワイアンセンター内で立地もいいしサクッと観れるからと一応申し込んだところ、期待を大きく上回る大迫力なショーでした。
まず出てくるハワイの歴史的な紹介と共に現れたフラダンサー達の引き締まった
肢体、素敵な笑顔、そしてダンスの上手さに圧倒され、観に来て良かったと思いました。そしてエルヴィスプレスリーと
マイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんによるロックンロールショー。単なるそっくりさんによるものまねショーとは全く違い、歌と踊りの上手さは本人を彷彿させるようなレベルの高いもので、往年のファンと思われる方達を熱狂させ、本人へのリスペクトが感じられる素晴らしい

ショーが終わりロビーに出ると、マイケルジャクソンとエルヴィスプレスリーのそっくりさんが、お客さん一人一人と笑顔で握手を交わし一緒に写真を撮ってくれていたので私と夫も早速お二人と一緒に写真を撮って頂きました。パンデミックでこういう事から随分遠ざかっていたのでとても嬉しい気持ちになりました。

Absolutely amazing tour, loved our crew. Absolutely amazing views and saw so many dolphins.

try to go on rainy days.
The ride gets you so much dust that your nose will be filled up with dust for days.

I had a wonderful time being watched over by the very kind and humorous Chieko and Dan. There were a total of seven of us: two young couples, my 66-year-old self and my son, and one man from overseas. They held my hand, as I’m not a strong swimmer, and guided me to where the fish and turtles were swimming. I was quite anxious as a beginner and being older, but the one-hour snorkeling experience was just fine. Their advice was to take motion sickness medication if you’re worried about seasickness. I also recommend borrowing a wetsuit to prevent injuries and sunburn. I’m really glad I participated.

とても優しくてユーモラスなチエコさんとダンさん2人に見守られ楽しい時間を過ごす事が出来ました。若いカップル2組、66歳の私と息子、海外の男性1人の計7人でした。泳ぎの苦手な私の手を繋いで、魚や亀の泳いでいる場所を案内してくれました。1時間たっぷりのシュノーケルに、初心者で高齢の私は不安ばかりでしたが、大丈夫でした。アドバイスは、波酔いの心配がある方は酔い止め薬を服用すること。ウェットスーツは怪我や日焼け予防にも借りる事をお勧めします。参加してとても良かったです。

After six years, I went back to Hawaii, and I signed up again because I had such a great time last time!

Even though it was sailing, it was amazing to see dolphins and turtles, and the view from the sea was spectacular.

6年ぶりのHawaiiで、
前回楽しすぎて再び申し込みました！

セーリングとは言え、イルカやカメが見れたり、海側からの角度で一望できるので最高でした。

Great time 1st trip on a fishing boat with kids. Meeting many wonderful patron on the ship along with the boat captain. Our kids managed to catches the first fish during our boat trip. Definitely would plan to come back next month. Hopefully this time our boat can catch more fishes comparing to last trip. It's wasn't that much fishes floating somehow but overall still an awesome journey with kids and family's. Scenic of Waikiki is unbelievable along many Dolphin jumping and boiling on the surface of the sunrise calm Aquatic blue ocean.

We departed from West Oahu, but unfortunately, we didn't see a single whale that day. We also experienced a cruise departing from Waikiki as a backup service from the same company, but we still didn't encounter any whales! However, if you don't see any whales, you receive a free boarding ticket for the next time, so if you have flexibility in your schedule, you can reschedule for another day. If you're visiting for about five days, you might not have time to switch to another day, so it's a bit of a gamble... There were no Japanese crew members, so everything was in English. Our family was the only Japanese guests. But as long as you can find the departure location, you should be fine even if you don't understand English.

西オアフから出発ですが、その日は残念ながら１頭も会えず。
リベンジでワイキキからも出発するクルーズ（同じ会社の振り替えサービス）も体験しましたが、くじらに会えず！
ただ、見れなかった場合は次回無料乗船券がもらえるので、日程的に余裕がある人は違う日に振り替えられます。5日くらいの観光できているとほかの日に振り替える時間がないと思うので、一か八かですね・・・。
日本人のクルーはいませんので、すべて英語です。
日本人客は私たち家族だけでした。でも出発場所にさえちゃんとたどり着ければ英語がわからなくても大丈夫です。

Snorkeling at Molokini Island was beautiful and fun. However, I didn't know that renting a wetsuit (upper body) would cost $10 per person, and I only brought cash for tips (since it's dangerous to take money on the boat), so I was short on cash and had a hard time. I would have liked a notice that the snorkeling set is included in the price, but the wetsuit fee is not. It costs $10 per person. Without a wetsuit, I couldn't get in because it was too cold with just a swimsuit.

モロキニ島でのシュノーケリングは綺麗で楽しかったです。
ただ、防寒用のウェットスーツ（上半身）のレンタルが1人10ドルかかるとは知らず、チップしか現金を持って行っていなかったので（船の上にお金を持っていくのは危ないので）、お金がたらず困りました。
あらかじめ、シュノーケリングセットは価格に含まれているが、ウェットスーツ代金は含まれていません。1人あたり10ドルかかりますという告知が欲しかったです。ウェットスーツを着ないと、水着だけでは寒くて寒くて入れませんでした。

Horseback riding while enjoying the magnificent scenery is exceptional. There were muddy paths, rocky roads, and slopes, which added to the adventurous feeling. After riding for nearly two hours, you can also get to know the personalities of the horses. The staff, although speaking broken Japanese, guide you kindly and attentively.

雄大な景色を見ながらの乗馬は格別です。ぬかるだ道や岩がゴロゴロした道、坂道等ありアドベンチャー気分も味わえました。2時間近く乗っているので、馬の個性もわかります。スタッフの方は、片言の日本語ですが、丁寧に優しく誘導してくれます。

Veltra made booking an outrigger canoe surfing activity so easy! I highly recommend using Veltra! Great price for one of our favorite activities when we were in Honolulu! We’ll definitely book with Veltra again! Mahalo!

My first horseback riding experience was very satisfying. Unfortunately, it was drizzling, and the water dripping from the borrowed raincoat soaked my pants, but I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

There were two families from the mainland, with a total of 10 participants, and two instructors leading us. The well-trained horses sometimes didn't listen and grazed freely, and at times they picked up speed, which was a bit troublesome. However, looking back, it was all part of the charm and became a topic of conversation for family bonding.

初めての乗馬体験。とても満足なものでした。あいにくの小雨で、お借りしたレインコートから、したたる水で、パンツが濡れるほどでしたが、余りある風景を堪能させていただきました。
本土からの２組のご家族と、10名の参加者に2人のインストラクターさんが引率。慣れた馬達は、いう事を聞かずに、自由に草をはんだり、時には速足になったりで、困る事もありました。おわつてみれば、それもご愛嬌で、家族の団らんの話題になりました。

Beautiful views, super fun ride. Dress for possibility to get dirty! Awesome day.

We did the Admission only package, which is great for families with young kids. It rained the entire day but it was still fun and we enjoyed the experience. We were able to follow our own schedule and still head over the see the different villages even if we were not on the presentation schedule. The boat ride was a highlight for my kids and the giudes were very safety-oriented and made sure everyone was engaged in the narration.
The canoe ride ended on the other side of the park, with walkable access to the villages of Fiji, French Polynesia (Tahiti), and Hawaii. We were able to play some of the games and even check out some of the historical village buildings.
Don't forget to check out their very own large sailing canoe that was built by the staff and students who work at the Polynesian Cultural Center and BYU in La'ie. Ask about its story - it's truly remarkable.
The visit to PCC was very much worth doing during our trip. I highly recommend Polynesian Cultural Center!

I took the boat there and back from Lahaina harbor, very clean and safe. I highly reccomend taking this boat over the water to other islands. Remember to have fun and be safe. Boat went past some whales!

There were many sea turtles, and the ocean was beautiful; I was able to see a large sea turtle resting! During the trip, there were two people who spoke Japanese fluently, which made me feel at ease! I was also very satisfied to be able to feed the fish!

ホヌも沢山いて海も綺麗で大きなホヌが寝ている姿も見ることができました！
移動中は日本語をしっかり話せる方が2名も居たので安心できました！
魚に餌やりもできて大満足！

Unfortunately, the weather was not great on the day of my visit. I had imagined the perfect location under a blue sky with clear waters, but it was completely cloudy. I heard the sea was murky, but during snorkeling, I was able to see sea turtles and various colorful fish, which was truly moving.

Even in the rain, it was enjoyable, and I highly recommend it.

当日、あいにくの天気でした。
青空の下、透明度の高い海で最高なロケーションを想像してましたが、一面が雲。
海も濁っているとの事でしたが、シュノーケリングではウミガメも様々な色をした魚も見ることが出来、感動しました。

雨でも充分楽しめ、お勧めです。

Me and my husband had a great time. The guys are very prompt with safety and are very accomodating. We saw turtles and other sea creatures too. My husband was not very confident with snorkeling but they helped him out by getting acquainted with the waters and eventually he gained confidence to snorkel and he enjoyed it a lot later on to see sea life.

This is definitely to be done again! Was an amazing experience

The experience was great! The food was good and the service great. We did the 3-star dinner and it was so much fun. We did the private table upgrade, which is worth the extra cost. Also, pay a little extra to have them pick you up with their shuttle service. Overall, we highly recommend this experience!!!

Started off by getting a call from captain to ensure we were in the area because we couldn’t find it initially. Get on the boat yummy bfast cinnamon rolls- beautiful ocean. We sat up front on the netting- saw flying fish dolphins and whales! The captain of the ship made sure we had a great experience by allowing us to view the dolphins and driving toward the whales to ensure we got a better look. They had lots of facts about the marine animals we saw- the island- and the history of trilogy. During the stay at lanai we enjoyed the beautiful beach and tide pooling- we did not snorkel or snuba. Before we left the island we had a yummy lunch, bbq chicken and noodles that the crew made fresh in a wok smelled so good! Then we boarded the ship and headed back- on the way back we got to see some whales and we learned about the end of whale season and the competition between male whales to get female etc. Mai tais on the way home even offered non alcoholic moctails for the kids. Plus delicious ice cream. Was by far our favorite trip adults and kids included. Thanks trilogy for the amazing experience!

We went on the raptor ATV tour. Amazing experience. The ability the see the majestic beauty of the island up close was so memorable! Our guides were so friendly and funny and made the tour even more amazing. This was one of the highlights of our Hawaiian vacation. Highly recommend.

This sandbar tour was the best choice! It was so fun! They had all the gear and all we had to do was bring ourselves! They supplied the tastiest BBQ burgers with vegan options as well! Our captain was so professional, yet funny, and extremely helpful taking pictures for us, and giving us the best sandbar adventure ever! We played volleyball, snorkeled, and enjoyed cruising around the sandbar. I can't wait to go again!

Mahalo nui loa!

This was a great tour and glad I chose the small airplane ride versus helicopter. Our tour guide was very informative and took note that most of us loved the waterfalls so it appeared he concentrated on this piece with extra attention. There was 6 of us in the group which was the entire plane. Two small children. Our 6 year old was extremely excited and loved the tour. She did get a bit warm in the plane towards the end. Glad we booked this tour!!!
