I took a semi-private lesson. It was my first time surfing, but the instructor's explanations were clear and kind, making it a very enjoyable experience. I had a great time.
The staff at the shop running the school were also very friendly and approachable, which helped ease my initial nerves and allowed me to fully engage in the lesson. Additionally, thanks to the optional photo service, I was able to preserve my memories in a tangible way, so I’m glad I added that!
I would love to participate again! Thank you very much for this experience.
セミプライベートのレッスンを利用しました。
サーフィンは初めてでしたが、インストラクターの方の説明もわかりやすく親切で、とても楽しく参加することができました。
とてもいい経験をさせていただきました。
スクールを運営されているショップの方も、とても親しみやすく話しやすい雰囲気だったので、最初の緊張もすぐに解けてレッスンに臨むことができました。
また、オプションの写真のサービスのおかげで、思い出を形として残すことができたので、追加してよかったです♪
また参加したいです！
この度はどうもありがとうございました。

I chose this tour on a large ship because I was worried about seasickness. The observation deck had some swaying, so I watched from a cabin on the first floor, but I was still able to see the whales' spouts and tails. It seems that those who are less sensitive to motion can see much more from the observation deck. The pineapple banana cake was delicious.
船酔いが心配で大きな船のこのツアーを選びました。
展望デッキは揺れもあったので、1階の客室で見ていましたが、何とかクジラの潮吹きや尾っぽを見ることができました。
揺れに強い方が展望デッキの方がたくさん見れるようです。
パイナップルバナナケーキが美味しかったです。
If you're going to the observation deck, you need to prepare a hat and sunglasses that won't get blown away, as well as sunscreen.
展望デッキで見るなら飛ばされない帽子とサングラス、日焼け止めをご準備必要です。
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にご家族でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。今回クジラの生態が見れて大変嬉しく思っております。お天気も良かった様子でゆったりと楽しんで頂き本当に良かったですね。又のお越しをお待ちしております。

My wife and I have been here for the second time, but it was great to see our daughter enjoy it for the first time. She said it was the most fun two hours ever... as a father, that makes me feel amazing.
私と嫁は2回目でしたが初めての娘が喜んでくれて良かったです。こんな楽しい2時間は無かった…と言ってくれて父親としては最高です。

I participated on the first day of my trip to Hawaii. Since I had reserved a VIP seat, I was able to go get food with priority, and fortunately, I enjoyed the show from the front row. The show featured hula dancing, Elvis, Michael, and it was very entertaining. The audience was incredibly enthusiastic, making it a wonderful time. After the show, I was able to take pictures with the performers, creating great memories. The flow during the meal was a bit unclear, so I think it would be smart to prepare more informational sheets in Japanese and other languages.
ハワイ旅行の初日に参加しました。VIP席で予約していたので、食事も優先的にとりに行けましたし、ショーは幸い最前列で堪能できました。ショーはフラダンスやプレスリー、マイケル、ととても面白い内容でした。観客もものすごい盛り上がりで、とても素敵な時間になりました。ショー終了後には、出演者の方々と写真も撮れ、とてもいい思い出になりました。食事の時の流れがわかりにくいので、日本語や他の言語での案内用紙などをもう少し準備するとスマートと思います。
この度は私共のロッカフラにご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。VIP 優先席でお食事とエンターテインメントもお楽しみ頂き大変嬉しく思っております。大変盛り上がった様子が伺えスタッフ一同光栄に思っております。そして、多言語対応のお声を有難うございます。今後の課題として考えてゆきたいと思っております。素敵な口コミも有難うございます。又のお越しをお待ちしております。

Due to the rain, we couldn't see the sandbar. However, we had a great time with SUP, kayaking, snorkeling, banana boat rides, and bumper tubing. The staff was attentive, ensuring our safety and providing a lot of fun. I want to go again next time when the weather is nice.
雨の影響でサンドバーは見られませんでした。
しかし、SUPやカヤックやシュノーケリング、バナナボート、バンパーチューブでとても楽しめました。
スタッフがちゃんと付いていて安全面でも安心できましたし、楽しませてくれました。
次回はお天気のいい時に行きたいです。
The dry season is recommended.

Garden is beautiful. Food was great. Ceremony was cool. I would recommend it!
Loved our tour guide Saybrin!!! She was HILLARIOUS!! The other 2 guides who helped were so helpful and kind as well. Water was cold but the tunnels and experience were awesome. Thanks for such a fun time!
This was my third horseback riding experience in Hawaii, and it was my first time at this location. The course still showed some effects from the flooding, but the instructors were very friendly, making for a highly satisfying ride.
Due to the flooding in March 2026, I couldn't find the entrance sign mentioned in the VELTRA description, which made parking a bit confusing. The entrance is marked by a gate that says something like "No beach visitors."
The instructors shared various stories about the horses, including their relationships with each other and what they used to do. It's clear that they care deeply for each horse.
Additionally, there was a forecast predicting bad weather around the end of our reservation time, so they started the tour 30 minutes early. As the instructor predicted, we finished before the weather turned bad.
After the ride, we were able to give the horses grass snacks and carrots.
Overall, I had a very enjoyable time.
ハワイでは3回目の乗馬で初めて行く場所でした。
洪水の影響がまだ残るコースでしたが、インストラクターの方たちがとてもフレンドリーで、満足感の高い乗馬でした。
2026年3月の洪水の影響か、VELTRAの説明にあるような入り口の看板は見当たらず駐車する際少し迷いました。”No beach visitors”的な文言が書いてあるゲートが入り口です。
馬同士の関係や、元々何をしていた馬たちなのかなどいろんな話を聞かせてくださいました。1匹1匹の馬をとても大切にしていることがわかります。
また予約終了時間時の天気が怪しくなる予報が出ており、30分前倒しでツアーを始めいただきました。インストラクターさんの予想通り、天気が悪くなる前に終了することができました。
乗馬の後には草のおやつやにんじんをあげることができました。
総じて大変楽しい時間を過ごせました。

The reservation was fully booked, so I opted for the plan where I could have a buggy driven for me, and it was a lot of fun! The rain actually made it feel magical and wonderful!

We so enjoyed our evening. The servers were personal and attentive. We could tell the meal time entertainers were having just as much fun as we were. The food was excellent and presentation marvelous. There was ample time to enjoy our meal and table talk. The show did not disappoint us. The singers and dancers keep us engaged and time flew by.
Easy to register but allow extra time to check in.
Dan and Chieko (?) from Hawaii Blue Divers were amazing! This particular company made the entire process our family of 3 as easy as it could be- no need to worry about anything! We had a great ride to and from Hanauma bay, we didn’t have to fuss over securing admission tickets (which I hear are a pain), we were provided with everything needed included tram rides to and from the entrance to the bay. Which was so appreciated after snorkeling 🤿. Dan was incredibly attentive and helpful to me (a scared of natural water, fear of drowning, and uncoordinated 44 year old), as well as to my 9 year old daughter who knows basic swimming concepts but is not yet a full swimmer. We were personally guided and had such a great experience. I cannot speak highly enough of these folks. Incredibly attentive, adaptive and knowledgeable. We clearly had chosen the right company to go with from the ease of entering the park before a HUGE line of white vans, not having to walk down to the bay or back up, snacks and water provided, and no need to deal with the hassle of renting equipment. We didn’t need to do anything beside show up to our pick up spot and have required cash and a change of clothes. They offer wetsuits and I highly recommend getting them for a bit more warmth, protection from getting scratched by coral, and added buoyancy. Make sure to have a good breakfast and hydrate before going, take clothes or a cover up to wear/change into, think about waterproof pouches for phones (not required as Dan did great with photos), towels, and enough cash to pay the entrance fee, rent wetsuits, and provide a BIG tip because you’ll be grateful for the experience. Expect to be tired and thrilled because it is a great snorkeling tour of the bay. Thank you Dan and Chieko!!!
Get the wetsuits!
Thank you guys. You all did great! Hope we see you again.
I participated in the tour in late March. It was quite cold since it was early in the morning and cloudy. I can't speak much English, but the tours with Japanese guides are quite expensive, so choosing this tour was the right decision. Even if you're worried about your English, you can just check the meeting time for the return trip with a translation app, and there won't be any problems. Hanauma Bay is a place that has value in "going there itself," so it's important not to have excessive expectations about the sea. If you're looking for an environment filled with tropical fish, you should go to Guam or Miyako Island. In that sense, I don't think snorkeling tours are very meaningful, especially the expensive ones with Japanese guides. It's particularly tough when it's cold because you can't swim at your own pace. That's why this tour, which only includes transportation, makes sense. That said, the price feels a bit high considering it only covers the entrance fee, group transportation, and mask and fin rentals. However, since it's just a group transportation tour without any special individual services, I believe tipping is basically unnecessary.
3月後半に参加。早朝でかつ曇りだったのでかなり寒かったです。英語がほぼ話せないですが、日本人ガイド付きツアーは割高なので、このツアーにして正解でした。英語が不安でも、帰りの集合時間だけ翻訳アプリで確認すれば問題なし。ハナウマ湾という場所は「行くこと自体」に価値がある場所であって、海自体に過度な期待は禁物です。熱帯魚がそこら中にいるような環境を求めるなら、グアムや宮古島に行くべき。そういう意味で、シュノーケリングツアーはあまり意味がないと思います。日本人ガイド付きの高価なツアーなら尚更です。特に寒いと自分のペースで泳げないので、余計に辛くなります。だから送迎のみのこのツアーは理にかなっています。とは言え、価格は入場料別で、グループ送迎＋マスク・フィンレンタルだけの内容の割に、値段はやや高めに感じました。ただグループ送迎のみのツアーで、特段、個別のサービスはないため、チップは基本的に必要ないと私は思います。
Since there are many shallow areas, it's better to borrow life jackets (but please carefully consider if you need one for each person). Fins are designed to be worn barefoot, so marine boots are not n
浅瀬が多いのでライフジャケットは借りた方がいいです（但し人数分必要かはよく吟味してください）フィンは素足で履くタイプなので、マリンブーツは不要です。このツアーに参加する限りパスポートは持参不要です。

I had a great view from the center. I could clearly see the performers' expressions, which was moving. I enjoyed a wonderful performance with powerful sound volume.
中央で大変よく見えました。

The air conditioning works really well, so I recommend bringing something to wear. There are audience participation performances, so if you sit in the front row or on the sides, there's a possibility

Would do it again. Walking back saw a mommy pig with 6 babies
Relaxing and fun.
I received an email the day before asking to change the show time from 8 o'clock to 7 o'clock. Since we could communicate in translation, there was no problem. A cheerful uncle chatted happily as we headed there, and it was fun♪ Even though it was in English, there were no issues.
8時代を7時代に変更してほしい、とショーでメールが前日に届きました。翻訳でやり取りできるので、問題なかった。陽気なおじ様が楽しくおしゃべりしながら向かい、楽しかったです♪英語だけど、問題なしでした。
There might be changes the day before, so it's better to check your email. Did you receive water? Just in case, bring some with you.

It would have been great if the weather was better but still a fun time. My only complaint is that I would have liked the area that is cordoned off for paddle boarding and kayaking to be bigger. The live music is a nice touch!
The snorkeling at the sandbar is just ok.
My wife, our daughter, and her family of seven participated! It was very interesting, thrilling, and we were extremely satisfied. My son-in-law got involved in a car accident, but we created a lifelong memory at the circus.

Fun for all. The guides made it fun and informative.
It was spacious, fun, and there just wasn't enough time! It opens at 10:30 and we had to gather at 15:00, so we only had about 4 hours to enjoy ourselves!! Next time, I want to take my time. The staff explained everything in Japanese and were very attentive.
広くて、楽しくて時間が全然足りなかった！10時半オープン、15時に集合だから、実質４時間しか遊べない！！次回はゆっくり行きたいです。スタッフは日本語で丁寧に説明、対応してくれました。
Since the stay is short, there isn't much time to go back to the luggage area and relax. Inside, it's cashless, and bringing in anything other than water is prohibited, with baggage checks in place.

Although the time is short, you can enjoy it. If you are prone to seasickness, I highly recommend taking motion sickness medication before boarding!

We had an absolutely incredible experience on our recent stargazing tour with Yoshi. We brought 4 adults and 4 kids (5-8 years old) to the summit and everyone had a blast. You can never predict Mother Nature so while at the summit (which was very windy and cloudy), Yoshi made the decision to change stargazing locations to another spot a little lower on the mountain and his expertise was rewarded as we were able to watch a beautiful sunset and view the stars from our new spot. It was such a memorable experience for everyone, I would 100% recommend this activity to anyone visiting Maui.
Yoshi was an outstanding guide. とてもよかった経験！
We had a great time on our tubing adventure. The staff was so friendly and fun. They made sure they knew our names. Made lots of funny comments and just made it a lot more fun. Great experience .
Was a nice and fun experience never. Weather was really nice in the afternoon. There so much to do and see not enough time for everything lol . We also had a really good tour guid his name was Sam .
Staff and performers were great… Love the storytelling and music… A must do when visiting Kauai
This was our first experience of Luau. We enjoyed it thoroughly. The music and dance were exceptional. The food and drinks were awesome. The program was handled with care and professionalism. We will be happy to come back one day.
Please book early and I am sure you will not be disappointed.
This is our third time doing the tour and still nothing short of amazing
I was given the wrong pick up time on my return trip to the airport. That was unfortunate, but what was worse, was the response. On calling Roberts, I was told that refunding was my problem, and I would need to pursue it personally with Veltra.Fortunately, Veltra was quite polite and prompt, and they took care of the problem.
Personally check on pickup times the day before.
