The staff on the boat were kind, and when my line got snagged on the bottom, they immediately replaced it with a smile without saying anything, which was a great help.

船のスタッフさんも親切で船底に仕掛けの針が引っ掛けても何も言わず笑顔で直ぐに仕掛けを替えて下さり大変助かりました。

This was my first time participating in such an activity in Hawaii. The moment I took off, I was surprised, but once I was flying, the view was wonderful! The staff were very polite and attentive. I don't speak much Japanese, but they communicated with gestures, so there were no problems at all!

ハワイでのこのようなアクティビティは初めての参加です。
飛ぶ瞬間はびっくりしましたが、飛んでしまったら素敵な景色！
スタッフの方もとても丁寧な対応でした♪日本語はほとんど出来ませんが、身振り手振りでやってくれるので、全く問題なしでした！

My younger son, who is in elementary school, was quite hesitant, but everyone who was there encouraged him, and he was able to fly safely. It seems he had a great time. There is some thrill to it, but you can't often see Waikiki from the sky like this.

小学生の次男がかなり引いていたけど、同席した皆さんが励ましてくれて無事に飛べました。楽しかったようです。スリルはありますが、空から見るワイキキはなかなか見れません。

I chose the banana boat and bumper tube plan! The bumper tube was especially fun! I'm glad I got to see sea turtles too!

バナナボートとバンパーチューブのプランにしました！バンパーチューブが特に楽しかった！海亀にも会えてよかった！

On the day of the trip, the wind was strong and the waves were intense, so I was worried about whether we would see dolphins. However, when we actually went out to sea and arrived at the dolphin spot, we were greeted by an incredible number of dolphins, and the kids were thrilled. The dolphins were friendly and swam around the boat for a long time, which was amazing. We also had the opportunity to snorkel and see sea turtles, which was a series of emotional moments. The staff were all very friendly and made it safe and enjoyable for our children aged 6, 8, and 10. I would love to participate again next time.

当日は風も強く、波も凄かったのでイルカに会えるか心配しておりましたが、実際に海に出てイルカがいるポイントに到着すると凄い数のイルカが出迎えてくれて、子供も大はしゃぎでした。
イルカは人懐っこく、長い時間を船の周りで泳いでくれて最高でした。
またシュノーケルもウミガメと会える事が出来て、感動の連続でした。
6歳、8歳、10歳の子供でも安心に楽しめるようスタッフの皆様の感じの良い方ばかりです。
次回も参加したいと思います。

The staff was excellent.
To be honest, Hanauma Bay doesn't have the clarity for snorkeling, and the fish are sparse.
It might have just been a bad time of year.

スタッフは最高でした。
ハナウマ湾は、正直に言えば、シュノーケリングするほどの透明度はなく、魚もまばらです。
たまたま時期が悪かったのかもしれません。

We had a wonderful time sailing and snorkeling. The crew were all so nice, informative and friendly. We saw several turtles and lots of fish.

Under the guidance of our cheerful guide, we rowed with all our might! The exhilaration afterward was amazing, and it's an activity that becomes addictive. If I have companions in the future who haven't tried this activity, I will definitely recommend it and join them!

愉快なガイドさん？の指示のもと、必死でオールを漕ぎます！笑
そのあとの疾走感は最高で、クセになるアクティビティです^^
今後、同行者にこのアクティビティをしたことがない人がいたら、必ずお勧めして一緒に乗ります！

The greater was super nice and friendly and gave us good information on Kauai.

The whole team made us comfortable especially with the kids! Kind and friendly!!! Thank you for making our trip special and memorable. The boys want to take you up on a job 🤗

No exaggeration, we were treated like ROYALTY!! From the moment we arrived at check-in until we disembarked from the return ferry ride we experienced CONSTANT care and courtesy from the ferry crew and especially our trekker-drver/tour-guide Russ , who went to extraordinary lengths to ensure our comfort and enjoyment , always giving us plenty of time to explore and indulge at the many places we visited. He even surprised us by returning to the beach shortly before ferry departure time to offer us a ride over to the ferry dock, for which we gratefully accepted! To say that he went "above and beyond" would be an understatement.
And all the people we encountered in Lana'i City ( at cafe , gallery , stores ) were so friendly , kindly and hospitable towards us...we felt sincerely welcome , and thoroughly enjoyed our visit , and hope to return for a longer stay.
Our emphatic thanks to Russ ( he was there to greet us when we stepped off the ferry ) and the ferry crew , who were right on time and very professional , for helping us have a fabulous and very memorable visit to Lana'i !

It was a bit cold due to the wind and occasional rain. However, I encountered many fish while snorkeling and was able to kayak skillfully, creating great memories with my wife. The staff was very attentive and provided friendly advice, making it a wonderful day. Thank you! 😊

風があり、時々雨も降ったので少し寒かったです。でもシュノーケルで多くの魚にも出会えたし、カヤックにも上手に乗れたので、妻との良い思い出になりました。そしてスタッフの気配りも十分で、とてもフレンドリーなアドバイスにて、良い一日となりました。ありがとうございました😊

This is my third time at Sandbar!
My wife and daughter were there for the first time.
The staff were friendly and communicated in Japanese, making it a very enjoyable experience.

Meeting up on-site was smooth, and the guidance was seamless.

サンドバーは、私は３回目！
妻と娘は初めてでした。
スタッフの皆さんが和気あいあいと日本語を使ってくれて案内してくれるので、とても楽しく過ごすことができました。

また現地集合で、参加させてもらい案内もスムーズでした。

This show blew me away from the staff to the dancers it was absolutely a top notch show and would go again. I recommend this show to anyone it was absolutely amazing!

The hospitality was amazing and the food was great! Worth every penny!

The father and son team that run this operation and tour were outstanding, really cared for everyone and very professional.

Stunning location, not too many people, but of a process to get into the park but once there it was lovely. We didn’t get to see turtles but there was a lot of other fish to see.

We had a canoe experience with our 8 and 10-year-old kids. Every time we crossed the waves, my daughter exclaimed, "It's just like Moana!" and she was so happy.

While waiting for the waves, we chatted and relaxed, and when the waves came, we rode them at an incredible speed. It felt amazing and was the best experience! We rode the waves about three times and were very satisfied! Mahalo🌺

8歳と10才の子供達と一緒に
カヌー体験、波を超えて進むたびに
モアナみたい！珊瑚礁を超えていくよー！
って娘が大喜びでした。

波を待つ間もお話ししたり
リラックスしたり、いざ波が来た時は
すごいスピードで波にのって
気持ちよくて最高でした！
3回ほど波乗りしてくれて
大満足でした！Mahalo🌺

I'm a little worried if I can make it to the top when looking up from below.
On the well-maintained hiking trail, I arrived at the summit before I knew it.
The weather was perfect, and the view was amazing.

下から見上げるとあの上までたどり着けるかちょっと心配
整備された登山道で、あれよあれやで頂上に到着
天気も最高、見渡す風景も最高でした

I requested a pick-up service, and both the departure and return were almost on time.

I felt reassured because there was a proper explanation from a Japanese person before boarding the boat.

I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling. The water level was about waist-high and felt cold at first, but I got used to it quickly. The live music on the boat was wonderful.

送迎をお願いしましたが行き帰りほぼ時間通りでした。
日本人の方から船に乗る前にきちんと説明があったので安心できました。

SUP、カヤック、シュノーケリングと堪能しました。
水位は腰くらいあって最初は冷たく感じましたがすぐ慣れました。
船での生演奏が素晴らしかったです。

I arrived on time as instructed to gather 30 minutes before the reservation, but the staff was absent, so it seemed like it would have been fine to arrive a bit later.

I forgot to take motion sickness medication and got nauseous from the boat's rocking and the parasailing. For those who are prone to motion sickness, taking medication is essential. The staff at the reception and the person explaining the parasailing were able to converse in Japanese.

It was my first time parasailing. I felt more scared than I expected, but the view was absolutely amazing, and it became a wonderful memory.

予約時間の30分前集合の指示があったので時間通り行きましたが、スタッフが不在で待ち時間があったのでもう少し遅めに行っても大丈夫そうでした。

酔い止めを忘れてしまい船の揺れとパラセーリングの揺れで酔ってしまったので酔いやすい方は酔い止め必須です。
受付の方、パラセーリングの説明をしてくれる方は日本語で会話できました。

パラセーリングは初めてでした。
思ってた以上に怖さは感じましたが景色が最高に良くてとても良い思い出になりました。

The weather was nice, the tide was about knee-high, and the white sand was clearly visible, making for the best conditions to move around. Despite the large number of participants, the staff managed everything wonderfully and kept a watchful eye, allowing us to relax. We saw many sea turtles from the boat in the turtle zone, and at a different snorkeling point from the sandbar, we encountered a variety of fish. They checked in on us multiple times here as well, which was reassuring. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious. While this tour is a bit more expensive than others, the content is different, and considering the satisfaction, it can be said that the cost-performance is good. I recommend this tour to anyone who is undecided.

天気も良く、潮の高さも膝くらいで白砂もよく見えて動きやすく最高のコンディションでした。参加人数が多かったのに、スタッフは見事にさばき、目を配っていただいて安心して過ごせました。海亀ゾーンでは船上からたくさん見れましたし、サンドバーとは別のシュノーケルポイントではたくさんの種類の魚が見れました。ここでも何度も声掛けしてくださって、安心できました。お昼のハンバーガーも美味でした。他ツアーより割高なのは内容が違うからで、満足感を考えるとコスパがいいと言えます。迷っている方がいればこちらをお勧めします。

My family had so much fun. Great drivers. Would do it again with the same crew

I and my wife enjoyed SUP very much even though we struggled to stand up on the paddle. The instructor Kei and his assistant Mai were extremely helpful for this activity. One thing I’d like to fix in this activity is the initial meeting time was 8:45, but the actual time was 9:15, which made us upset. I think VETRA needs to fix this mismatch.

Absolutely fantastic evening, great food and show! It’s a must do for your first time here.

I arrived at the airport feeling jet-lagged, and the first encounter after leaving the airport was with this shuttle bus. The passengers waiting to board are gathered in one place, and staff call out names for boarding the shuttle bus in order. At this point, I wonder if taking a taxi or an Uber would have been better. However, the low cost of the shuttle bus is certainly appreciated. The distance between the airport and Waikiki is quite significant. If there’s no traffic, it takes about 30 minutes, but on some days it can take close to an hour. There are frequent bumps in the seats, so those with back pain should be cautious.

時差ボケの中　空港に着きましたが　空港から出て最初の出会いがこのシャトルバスです　　乗車予定の人たちは1ヶ所に集められスタッフに名前を呼ばれて順番にシャトルバスに乗り込みます　ここで思うことはタクシーが良かったかウーバーが良かったかです　しかし金額が安いシャトルバスはやはりありがたいです　空港とワイキキはけっこう距離があります　渋滞がなければ30分くらいですが　日によって1時間近くかかることもあります　座席ではバウンドすることが度々あるので腰痛の方は注意が必要です

The airport and Waikiki are quite far apart. Taking a taxi or Uber can be expensive. This shuttle bus arrives on time and gets you to the airport with plenty of time to spare. Once you arrive at the airport, you have enough time to rest and buy souvenirs. And above all, the price is very reasonable. I find it very convenient and am grateful for it. However, I'm not sure if it's due to the suspension or the road conditions, but the seats bounce quite a bit in all directions. The ride is not very comfortable.

空港とワイキキはけっこう距離があります　タクシーやウーバーだと金額が高いです　このシャトルバスは時間通りに迎えに来てくれて余裕をもって空港に着きます　空港に着いてから休息やお土産を買う時間は十分あります　そして何より金額が安いです　たいへん便利で感謝しております　ただサスペンションのせいか　道路事情のせいかわかりませんが　けっこう座席で上下左右にバウンドします　乗り心地はあまり良いものではありません

Had to use a premium drink ticket for a diet coke. Gimme a break.
Lobster presentation was unacceptable. Lobster should have been served out of the shell, very messy.
Entertainment was good

The show was fun. I didn't understand it well because the explanation was only in English. The food was delicious.

ショーは楽しかったです
説明が英語だけだったので、よくわかりませんでした。
食事はおいしかったです。

Kalasara was so sweet and was waiting for us with a welcome sign. Best way to start our first vacation on the island of Kauai 🌺
