My wife and I had a spectacular day. We got on the boat from the beach in Ka'anapoli Beach and sailed to Lanai. There was plenty of food and drink. We landed ashore on Lanai and had a great couple hours on the beautiful beach. The host provided beach chairs, beach mats, snorkel gear, lifeguards, juice and water, snacks and even sun screen. The beach was great and the water was clear. The reef had a variety of fish to observe while snorkeling.
Then a bbq lunch was provided which was plentiful and delicious. The sail back to Ka'anapoli Beach was very pleasant. Again snacks and endless drinks were provided. Great trip!!

The horses were well-trained and moved almost automatically. If you're mainly riding, it might feel a bit lacking. Perhaps because it was raining, the similar scenery made the two hours feel long. It might be better if it were sunny? I got excited when passing by a herd of cows; they were so cute!

馬たちはよく調教され、ほぼ自動で動いてくれました。乗馬をメインで行ったら少し物足りないかもしれません。雨だったからか、似たような景色で2時間は長く感じました。晴れだったらいいかも？牛の大群とすれ違う時は可愛くてテンション上がりました！

The instructors are experienced, so I felt at ease. They have great personalities, and I had a very enjoyable time. I was also satisfied to see many fish!

インストラクターの方は慣れているので安心です。人柄も良くとても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。また、たくさんの魚を見ることもでき満足です！

There are actually sea turtles swimming nearby. An experience that you can't have in Japan is right here. The crew is also very friendly.

実際に近くにウミガメが泳いでいます。日本では出来ない経験が身近にやって来ます。クルーも大変親切です。

Great boat was awesome the crew was amazing good experience

We came to the Hawaiian Islands to celebrate our Honeymoon, and this was 1 of the excursions we had planned. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! We had such a fun time, having the movie sites pointed out along the way to base camp. The 3 instructors that took us through the course were amazing, very attentive, asking questions about each of us, congratulating us and thanking us for coming. It did start raining 2 zip lines in, but wasn’t that bad. They kept the entire experience fun and full of entertainment. 100% recommend!

We had an amazing time on the Amelia K. The crew was great and the views of the coast were spectacular. A real must see. Even saw a sea turtle snorkeling.

It's quite a distance and a bit difficult to get to, but I made a reservation with transportation included, so I was able to go with peace of mind. At the site, the explanations were in English, so I didn't understand anything at all, but I managed to get by with the atmosphere. The activity was fantastic, and the weather was great!

中々遠くて行きにくい場所ですが，送迎付きで予約させていただいたので安心して行けました。現地では，英語での説明だったので，全く分かりませんでしたが、雰囲気で乗り切りました。アクティビティは天気も良くとても最高でした

The day before, I was forced to change the time without any explanation. I had already organized my schedule for that day, so it was very troublesome to have it changed without notice. I at least wanted an explanation. The driver was cheerful and a very nice person.

前日の昼過ぎに、何の説明もなく時間変更を余儀なくされた。その日1日のスケジュールを組み立てていたのに、勝手に変更されて大変困った。せめて説明をしてほしかった。
ドライバーの方は陽気な方でとてもいい人でした。

I made a reservation the day before on a whim! We traveled as a group on a small boat. I was a bit anxious because the experience reviews mentioned that motion sickness medication was essential, but the weather was nice, and while watching others fly and chatting with the staff, the time flew by, and I didn't feel sick at all! My mother, who joined me, said the exact same thing. The view from above is truly breathtaking, just as everyone has mentioned. If you come to Hawaii, you must try it!

前日に思い立って予約しました！
小さな船に乗ってグループで移動します。
体験談に酔い止めは必須と書いてあり不安がありましたが、天気も良く他の人が飛んでいるのを見ていたり、スタッフの方と話していたらあっという間に時間が過ぎて全く酔いませんでした！
一緒に参加した母も全く同じことを言っていました。
上からの景色は皆さんが書いてある通り絶景です。ハワイに来たらぜひ！

We thoroughly enjoyed this entire experience. The ship and crew was outstanding and the ability to do 'off shore' sandbar stopover with BBQ lunch and snorkeling was terrific. Although we had a rental car, we opted to take advantage of their transportation (a bus) and that was a real plus with door-to-door service. And although the bus was filled to capacity, on arrival they broke into two groups with two sailing vessels but stayed in tandem. The ships were in top shape and the onboard restrooms clean and stocked.

The sandbar experience was wonderful permitting amazing photos with Oahu mountains in the background. The crew was outgoing, mixing with the guests and ensuring all was safe and fun. The BBQ was ample and tasty, and the included and optional drinks wide ranging. The tour allowed plenty of time for all phases including the snorkeling...never feeling rushed with lots of time for exploration along the reef. The fish were plentiful and the coral in good condition. The crew was environmentally conscientious and took extra care in entering and existing the ship while snorkeling (with an onboard fresh water rinse afterwards). Their snorkel gear appeared new with ample numbers of swim jackets.

I highly recommend booking Captain Bob's...you won't regret it.

If you'e going to Kona, you HAVE to night snorkel with the manta rays! It was such a magical experience that felt once in a lifetime. Initially, I was scared to get into the ocean at night, but once you're in the water, the wonder and amazement settled my fears.

This tour is a particularly good one to choose because the boat ride to "Manta Village" is only about 5 minutes from the dock. There are other tours where you leave from a different dock and the boat ride is 45 minutes. For someone that gets seasick, choosing this tour over others is a no brainer.

Be aware that they may change your tour time. During my visit, they were offering tours at 6pm, 7pm, and 8pm. We booked the 7pm tour. On the day of tour, they called us at about 1pm and told us the 7pm tour was being cancelled because there weren't enough people signed up. They asked us to join the 6pm tour. They did the same with the 8pm group. Luckily, it worked with our schedule and wasn't a big deal, but it's something to be aware of.

This tour was one of my favorite things we did while on the Big Island! Initially, the plan was to just go to the Waipi'o Valley lookout. I am so glad we ended up deciding to take the tour. You're taken down into the valley (on an extremely steep road) in a 10ish seater van. I get really carsick and had no issues during the tour. Our wonderful guide, Forrest, informed us of the history of the valley and it's people. He was extremely informative and clearly cares so much about the valley and it's history. The views inside the valley were stunning! Do yourself a favor and book this tour.

The tour itself was great - however the instructions were very clear that if you were late you’d be left behind. The guides let people wander in as late as 930 although check in time was 845 and the boat was supposed to leave at 9. Table choice was also not first come first serve - they saved the window seats for people with children so despite our group being one of the first to arrive we were placed in a center table and the people arriving 45 mins late and holding up the whole group got the window seats.

Once on the water the tour was great :) guides were friendly and helpful

Very beautiful setting and the food, drinks and service was great.

I couldn't believe that there was a zip line in Kapolei, where I usually go shopping, and I was skeptical at first, but it turned out there was one. I discovered this valley! I had a wonderful experience utilizing the height difference. I was in a team with an American family with a 4-year-old, and we had a great time. The highlight was the thoughtfulness of the young instructor. From the simple speaker attached to our bodies, Japanese music played when we were challenging ourselves, and American music played when the American family was up. I was so impressed by such careful consideration. It was a great value and an absolutely fantastic experience.

当初何時も買い物に行くカポレイにジップラインが出来るような地形があるのは信じられず半信半疑でしたが、なんとあったんです。
こんな谷があったんですね！落差を利用した素晴らしい体験をさせて頂きました。
4歳児ご一緒のアメリカ人家族と一緒のチームでしたが、楽しく体験できました。
その最たるものは、若いインストラクターの気遣いにあると感じました。体につけた簡易スピーカーからは、我々が挑戦する時は日本のミュージックが流れ、アメリカ人家族が挑戦する時は、アメリカのミュージックが流れていました。なんと細やかな気遣いに感激しました。コスパも良く大変素晴らしい体験をさせて頂きました。

We had the pleasure of going on a boat tour with Veltra. They really care about customer experience and strive towards excellence.

It was quite windy, and there was a lot of swaying on the boat, but I had a great time! When I first mentioned that I didn't want to get wet, they made sure to accommodate my request. The staff were cheerful, and my 83-year-old grandmother also enjoyed it.

たまたま風が強く、船の上、空中での揺れが結構あったのですがとても楽しかったです！最初に濡れたくないと言ったらその願いも叶えてくださいました。スタッフの方も明るく、83歳の祖母も楽しんでいました。

The crew was great, we loved the boat ride and hula lesson!

It was the end of September, and the north wind was strong with some swells. The boat didn't sway much while it was moving, but it rocked quite a bit when it slowed down. Conversely, when it sped up, splashes would come up every time it cut through the waves, and if you were sitting outside, your backside would get wet. It wasn't cold, but I thought it would have been better to have a towel ready. All the explanations were in English, but I managed. The meal on the way back was a platter mainly consisting of tacos, and some people piled it high. It was a bit of a disappointing menu. I was able to have one drink. You shouldn't expect much from the sunset; it sets right behind Niihau Island.

９月の終わりでした、北風が強くうねりもあります。船が進んでいるときはそれほど揺れませんでしたが速度を落とすとかなり揺れました、逆に速くなったら波を切るたびに飛沫が飛んできます、外に座っていたらお尻が濡れてしまいました。寒くはありませんでしたがタオルを用意したほうが良かったと思いました。説明は全て英語によるものでしたが何とかなりました。帰りながらの食事でしたがタコスを基本とした盛合せで一杯に盛り付ける人もいました。ちょっと残念なメニューです。アルコールは一杯頂けました。夕日は期待しないほうがいいです。丁度ニイハウ島に沈みます。

It's a refreshing activity! You drive yourself and glide through vast areas. We had eight vehicles lined up, with one guide watching over every three. I felt safe driving. The guide was great at keeping everyone excited and was always smiling! Although the guidance was in English, I managed to keep up. Additionally, before the ride, they play a video in Japanese to explain everything, so those who are not confident in English will be fine. I highly recommend giving it a try!

爽快アクティビティです！
自分で運転して広大な場所を滑走します。
私たちは、8台が連なって、3台につき、1台がガイドが見守ってくれていました。
安心して運転ができました。ガイドはとてもみんなを盛り上げるのがうまく終始笑顔！英語でのガイドですが、なんとか対応できました。
また、ライド前は日本語の映像が流れて説明してくれますので英会が苦手な方も大丈夫です。
是非参加してみてみてはいかがでしょうか。

I have a fear of heights, so I was scared at first, but the view from the top was amazing!

The meeting point is a bit hard to find, so it's better to arrive early!

高所恐怖症なので最初は怖かったですが、高所からの景色は最高でした！

集合場所が分かりづらいので、早めに行った方が良いです！

Beginners to probably veterans can enjoy this (it's coastal fishing). The view from the waters off Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head was amazing. If you're into boat fishing, you're unlikely to go home empty-handed. The cute captain and the adorable porter were also fantastic!

釣り初心者からおそらくベテランまで楽しめます（近海釣りです）
ワイキキビーチとダイヤモンドヘッドの冲からの眺めは最高でした。船釣りされてる方ならボウズは無さそうです。可愛いキャプテンと、可愛いポーターさんも最高でした♪

I was a bit nervous about participating in parasailing for the first time, thinking that even if I could understand a little Japanese from other people's reviews, it would be okay. But it turned out fine! The weather was great, and it felt wonderful. The view is so different from what you see on the ground, and I really enjoyed it.

初めてのパラセーリングで他の人の口コミで少し日本語が伝わるとは言っても大丈夫かドキドキして参加しましたが、なんとかなります！良い天気でとても気持ちよく景色も地上から見るのとは違って楽しめます。

There were Japanese staff members, so I felt安心してツアーに参加できました! I was wondering if I would get to see sea turtles, and I was happy to encounter them not only while moving on the boat but also during snorkeling.

日本人のスタッフもいるので、安心してツアーに参加できました！
ウミガメも出会えるかなどうかなと思っていたらボートでの移動中だけでなくシュノーケルのときにも出会えて良かったです。

It was way better than the parasailing experience I had in Guam! The weather was great, and the 360-degree view was amazing! ^ - ^

グアムで体験したパラセーリングより全然よかったです！
天気も良く、360度の眺めることができて最高でした^ - ^

Every time I come to Hawaii, I experience it.

Everyone, please be sure to try it too! 😊

The waves and the wind are unique to Hawaii, I think.

いつもハワイに来るたびに
体験します

みなさんも　ぜひ乗ってください😊

波も風もハワイならでは
かな

I experienced that Maui is not just about the ocean. The tropical rainforest is something you can't easily see in Japan, so it was great. Jumping into the waterfall was something I was too scared to do, but I think young people should give it a try at least once.

マウイは海だけではないことを、体験しました
熱帯雨林は日本ではなかなか見れないので良かった
滝へのジャンプ、私は怖くてできなかったが、若い人なら一度はチャレンジされたらどうでしょうか。

I had the best stargazing experience of my life. It was a showtime that far exceeded my expectations. I felt the perfect preparation, consideration, and excellent explanations from our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, as well as his deep knowledge of the stars, which made for a wonderful time.

人生最高の星空観賞を経験できました。
想定をはるかに超えるショータイムでした。
ガイドの山内さんの完璧な「準備・気配り・説明の妙・そして星に対する
深い造詣を感じることができ、素晴らしい時間を過ごしました

There was a change in the boarding location, but they arranged everything, including the car, so there were no problems at all. We boarded the ship and went to where the submarine was waiting, and it was a bit scary going down the stairs backward... haha. The space inside the submarine was exciting. It seems that the luck of the day plays a role, but it appeared that there were few creatures to encounter. I heard that octopuses are rare. It was a great experience.

乗船位置の変更がありましたが、車の準備など全て手配してくれて何も問題ありませんでした。船にのり、潜水艦が待っているところまで行きいざ乗船。後ろ向きで階段を下がるのは少しこわい…笑。潜水艦の空間がワクワクさせてくれました。当日の運にもなるかと思いますが、出会える生き物は少なかった様子でした笑。タコがレアだそうです。良い経験になりました。
