Hawaii
This trip was awesome. I have done several before with other companies and this is the best. Within minutes, four or five mantas started feeding. Others soon joined. Then flips and near surface swimming by the mantas continued the whole time. Excellent and I highly recommend. The crew were incredible.
This activity was very well worth every penny. We’ve never met such friendly people (staff). We did the morning package and it was just what we needed, you’re allowed to bring your own gear as well as your own snacks and drinks! Our favorite part was listening to the band whom sang and played so beautifully on your way to and from the sandbar. This is a must if you’re in Oahu!
It was a really great time and vibes with the whole crew. Definitely recommend it to anybody coming to experience Hawaii. I will definitely come back next time in in Hawaii.
Beautiful area and a very fun experience for our nine-year-old grandsons!
Love it and we had so much fun. We also purchased the pictures. The only thing i didn’t like was how dark the pictures were but overall we had an amazing time.
Amazing captain and crew. Saw dolphins, turtles, had a fantastic snorkeling site, enjoyed cruising on the boat and the food and drinks were great. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
We had the best time! The staff were so friendly and helpful. The live music was an added bonus. We loved the variety of activities. Would definitely recommend!
Excellent service and wonder experience, thank you Kevin
Mr Jim was a very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide! The tour was very organized at each stop and Mr. Jim was very accommodating to ensure we didn’t have to wait in long lines as well!! Mr Jim loves what he does and provided myself and everyone on the tour with an Amazing experience!!! I would definitely recommend this tour to all my family and friends. 5 Star Tour!!!
Aloha, and thank you for posting this review! We're thrilled you had a good time on tour, and yes, Jim is extremely knowledgable and friendly, just a wonderful guide! Again, glad you had a great time, and we hope you enjoyed the island.
Staff was awesome. Food great. Sunset phenomenal. I highly recommend this cruise.
We hit the jackpot! Kimo was an excellent tour guide and was full of history and information. When we got to the different spots, he walked with us, telling us more. We saw other E Noa drivers sitting by their buses waiting for the people to come back. Kimo made the trip so much fun! Don’t be last on the bus or he’ll make you do a short hula while he plays his ukulele!
Not sure if you can request, but If you get Kimo, you’re going to get waaay more than your moneys worth!
Oh! And the local lunch spot was DELICIOUS! We wanted to get another and take it back to the hotel!
Our drivers truly are what make our tours so unforgettable! We are so glad to hear Kimo provided such a fun experience. Mahalo for the 5 stars! Next time you're in Hawaii we hope to see you again!
This is my first surfing experience.It’s safety. The coach is very patient.
Fantastic Crew. Everything on the boat was in order. Lots of snacks. Very guidning Crew who met your every need. Sandbar and snorkel was super. Will book with Captain Bruce again. Saw Big turtles at the reef. Pick up and return to your hotel.
Aloha, Thank you so much for your feedback.
We were very pleased to hear that your trip was enjoyable and fun at the sandbar.
Mahalo kindly for this wonderful review. We're looking forward to seeing you in near the future. Mahalo!
After the end of COVID, there were only two groups of Japanese people, including us. The rest were from other countries.
Since there are Japanese staff, they kindly taught us everything and checked in on us.
They even took photos for us, which we really appreciated.
The sandbar had high transparency and was incredibly beautiful!!!
We saw several sea turtles from the boat!
During snorkeling, we were able to see two of them up close!
It was truly the best experience to see so many friendly staff and cute sea turtles.
The light meal hamburger was also delicious!
They had hand sanitizer available, which made us feel safe.
I definitely want to participate again, and it was a tour I would want to recommend to acquaintances!
コロナ明けで日本人は私たち含め2組だけでした。そのほかは他の国の方たちばかりです。
日本人のスタッフがいるので、何から何まで親切に教えてくれたり、声をかけてくれます。
写真も撮ってくれます^ ^ とてもありがたかったです。
サンドバーは透明度が高く、とてもとても綺麗でした!!!
ら海ガメは船の上から何匹も見れました!
シュノーケルでは間近で2匹も見ることができました!
親切なスタッフとかわいい海ガメをたくさん見れて、本当に最高の体験でした^ ^
軽食のハンバーガーも美味しかったです!
手指消毒も置いてあって安心でした。
また参加したいなと思うのと
知人にも紹介したくなるツアーでした!
We enjoyed seeing the ranch and hearing stories from our tour guides. driving around the ATV was also fun! Wear old clothes and maybe bring a pair to change into after-you get VERY dusty/dirty. I just wasn’t expecting to get that dirty, but we still had a great time!
When I arrived at the airport, there was a desk right in front of me. I mentioned the name I used for the reservation, and they took my suitcase. I waited on a nearby bench.
I waited for about 30 minutes.
They also handled my suitcase, and since the tip was included, it was very helpful.
空港に到着すると目の前にデスクがあります
予約した名前を言うとスーツケースを預けて
近くのベンチで待ちます。
30分程度待ちました。
スーツケースも出し入れしてもらえましたし、
チップ込なので助かりました。
This tour was incredible and truly a dream come true. Our tour guide Sean was a wealth of knowledge not only about the show but about the island in general. Having lunch at The Bayer Estate was so fun and we loved keeping Shawn that played Flippa on the show. Definitely will do it again if we ever make it back here.
Marcus our pilot was awesome, great views! Highly recommend!
We had the most amazing time and experience ever I highly highly recommend!!! Would do this again in a heart beat.
Had an amazing time!!! The tour guides were amazing!!
We were so excited to visit Hawaii for the first time and I thought I was purchasing tickets for Pearl Harber but NO after spending $200.00 NOTHING. When speaking to them on the phone they stated we must ride their bus. With Covid 19 we didn’t want to take a chance on our health. We are now in a dispute with them to get our money back!
Toni we are so sorry to hear you suffered such a terrible miscommunication. We understand that some people are still weary about travel post pandemic. We hope you're able to work something out with the agent that booked your tour. Mahalo!
There were quite a few Luau options to choose from. After some searching, we decided to give Chief's Luau a try. It's good that they have pickup options and we don't have to drive. The pickup, drop-off, and check-in were smooth.
It was a cloudy evening with some sprinkles, but we were prepared.
Food was all-you-can-eat style, with them serving you at the station. Food varieties was limited compared with Polynesian Culture Center, but the quality was good. They even gave us 2 drink tickets for each person. That's enough for the night.
The dancing and the fire knife show were very entertaining, and the jokes too.
All in all, a pleasant evening spent on the island of Oahu.
We loved it !!! Great food, great Show, we had a great Time !! We would definitely do this again. Highly recommended .
Jenna & The Cruise Driver we’re extremely friendly, and made the experience for our family and the rest of the riders very fun and safe. They explained to us always what to expect. They let us experience the waters of the ocean by putting our feet in as we cruised in the sailboat and listened to music. The ambiance felt great and soothing. They also took us turtle watching and got to see some beautiful huge sea turtles. We also enjoyed the splash of the waves while we sat on the net of the sailboat, my boys enjoyed that so much and it kept them refreshed! And the best part is the dip in the water, so refreshing and wonderful experience for those who wanted to take a a quick dip. I’m so thankful to Jenna as she took good care of the group, while The cruise driver was always so detailed in explaining everything we would see and do. They both went above & beyond. Best experience ever!!! Mahalo!!!!!
I highly recommend this as a staple in your trip to Hawaii! My fiancé and I had a fantastic time, the crew was awesome and nice and made the experience awesome! I am definitely going to do this on my next trip to Hawaii!! During this you get a nice ride in the water, and drinks the appetizers were delicious as well! Also they have an onboard photographer! She’s awesome and she makes you feel very comfortable when she takes your photos!
I actually did not really like this experience. We ate breakfast at 10am, just in time to be picked up at our hotel, which was really nice. We got there and right away we were told very rudely that we had to eat lunch as soon as we got in the boat or we were not getting anything to eat at all. For a trip that says that you are required to bring a motion sickness treatment for the boat ride, eating lunch on the way there really seamed unlikely. I would of thought that they would serve lunch and you can choose when you are ready to eat sometime after we arrived at the sandbar.
Second, I know this is out of their control, but the water was freezing and the area we could do activities was so limited. They had snorkeling and paddle boarding. There were no fish in sight and the water is like 3 feet deep. I would rather spend my time going and buying lunch and spend my afternoon at Waikiki beach then spend the money to do this activity, Not really a happy customer.
This was my first time in Hawaii, and I was a bit anxious about snorkeling after a long time. The crew consisted of the captain, one person in charge of the snorkeling equipment, and two out of three others who were Japanese. They were busy with operations, lending out equipment, preparing breakfast and lunch, providing drinks, and on top of that, they had to manage COVID safety measures, yet everyone was working diligently. (Even so, it seems the number of participants was lower compared to before COVID.)
Despite being so busy, everyone was kind and answered our questions, and they took great care of my sister, who was scared while diving. I was worried about whether the sunscreen I brought could be used, but it was available for purchase on the boat.
We were blessed with good weather, and thanks to that, we were able to enjoy snorkeling. I want to go again!
初めてのハワイ、久し振りのシュノーケリングでちょっぴり不安でした。
クルーは船長、スヌーバ担当の方がおひとり、あと三人のうちお二人が日本の方。運航、器具の貸し出し、朝食と昼食の準備、飲み物の提供、そもそもお忙しいのに、COVIDで感染対策も加わった訳で、みなさんくるくると働いておられました。(それでもCOVID前に比べれば参加人員が少ないとか。)
そんなでお忙しいのに、みなさん親切で優しく質問には答えて下さり、潜る時には怖がっている妹に付きっ切りでお世話をして下さいました。
持って行った日焼け止めが使えるか心配でしたが、船で購入が出来ました。
お天気にも恵まれ、お陰様でシュノーケリングを楽しめました。また行きたいです。
We really enjoyed our adventure with Mauna Kea Stargazing Tour. Our guide, Maka, was excellent: entertaining, polite, knowledgeable, etc. He was extremely quick and calm when responding to a high altitude emergency when we reached our high altitudes. I was impressed with the Veltra company with their constant updates, emails reminders, and phone call reminder. I gave "Good" review because it was very cloudy and the star gazing was limited. I would book through this company again and I would do this tour again too.
I arrived at the airport, and the bus check-in was right in front of me. I showed my reservation screen and got on the waiting bus to the hotel. The van was also clean, which was nice.
空港へ着いて、バスの受付が、真前。
予約画面を見せて、待機しているバスに乗りホテルへ着きました。
バンも綺麗でよかったです。
A large bus came to pick us up with an English-speaking driver. The simple and easy-to-understand English communication was manageable even for someone like me who speaks a little English. I would like to use this service again.
大きなバスで英語のドライバーさんが迎えに来てくださいました。簡単なわかりやすい英語でのやり取りは、英語が少々の私でも問題なかったです。また利用したいと思いました。
