All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

All 6 of us loved this trip! Lots of fun, great crew, awesome music. Sunset wasn't 1too great as it was a cloudy, rainy day...but that's not your fault and we had a wonderful time anyway. Good drinks, definitely not watered down!

I purchased a four-day ticket and used it. I was able to fully utilize the four days and easily go to the places I wanted to visit. If you prepare your time and destinations well, you can truly appreciate the convenience. I think I will use it again.

4日間のチケットを購入し、利用しました。４日間フルに使って、行きたいところに楽に行くことができました。時間と行先さえしっかり準備しておけば便利さを実感できます。
また利用すると思います。

I was seated in the back, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. The performance involved the audience, and the costumes and music were filled with Hawaiian elements, making it a lot of fun.

後方の席でしたが、存分に楽しめました。
客席を巻き込む演目、衣装や音楽にもハワイらしさがたっぷり盛り込まれていてとても楽しかったです。

The driver was very cheerful and it was fun. Thank you very much.
I heard they can communicate in English, but that was not a problem.

とても明るいドライバーさんで楽しかったです。ありがとうございました
英語対応との事でしたが問題ありません。

I had a question about whether there would be rock in the hula show, but I thought the show was wonderful. Especially for my wife, who is an Elvis fan, it seemed to be particularly enjoyable. Thank you.

フラのショーにロックが？　という疑問がありましたが、ショーは、素晴らしかったと思います。　特に、エルビスファンの家内には、格別に楽しめたようです。
ありがとう。

I was told there isn't any. Other similar tours provided almost everything... It's disappointing. I should have researched in advance.

無いと言われました
他の同種ツアーだと殆んど用意してくれたのに・・残念です
事前に調べておけば良かったのですが

Don't worry that it's your first time snorkeling! John will kindly teach you how to drive a kayak, jump out of the middle of the ocean in a kayak and snorkel! If you have a waterproof phone case, it will help you take pictures of beautiful scenery and marine animals during your activities. You can meet monkseals, turtles, cute various fish, and octopus up close! Don't miss the best experience!

I participated with my daughter, and it was our first experience, so we were nervous 💓. Although there was some fear, the moment we ascended into the sky from the boat, it felt wonderful with the blue sky and sea, and it was truly moving 😊. I wish we could have flown a little longer.

娘と2人で参加したのですが、初めての経験でドキドキ💓
恐さもあったのですが、ボートの上から空へ上昇した途端、気持ちよくって空も海もブルーで、感動でした😊
もう少し長い時間飛んでいたかったな〜。

My wife and I went here for our honeymoon and werent diasappointed. The venue itself was beautiful, as was all the food and presentations around. It had a very Hawaii vibe and feel. The dancing and chanting by all involved was wonderful and I learned a lot. Met a lot of great people at my table as well. The waiter was awesome and very attentive.

I enjoyed that this class got me outside to do yoga, but I would have liked more standing poses and a better ability to see the ocean during the class. There was a lot of seated poses that did not take advantage of appreciating the beautiful setting, which is the point of doing yoga on the beach. I’m glad we were in the shade, but also would have loved to be closer to the ocean and an earlier class to allow for more things to do later in the day and not as much sun and heat to allow for being closer to the water.

We were on the same boat as groups 3 and 4, and it felt great to enjoy cruising while others were flying out to sea.

Since it was the latter part of our trip and we had just had our wedding in Hawaii, we were a bit tight on money and decided not to pay the $40 tip for photos, but none of the staff made any unpleasant faces, and we were able to participate happily.

Instead, I brought a rented GoPro from Japan, and there was no negative reaction to that either.

The photos are screenshots from the video.

I have a fear of heights, so I was a bit teary while waiting and flying, but unlike a roller coaster, there was hardly any shaking, and the ride was much smoother than I expected. While waiting on the boat, I imagined being tossed around by wires, but it was just gently floating peacefully.

I participated thinking it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and it turned out to be a wonderful memory.

I appreciate the friendly and pleasant staff.

I usually get motion sickness in cars, but I took motion sickness medication beforehand, so I was fine on the boat. I highly recommend it.

3-4組と同じ船でしたが沖に向かうまでの間も他の方が飛んでいる間もクルージングが出来て気持ちよかったです。

旅行後半でハワイ挙式後ということもありお金に余裕が無く、40ドルのチップを払っての撮影は頼みませんでしたが嫌な顔するスタッフもいらっしゃらず、楽しく参加できました。

その代わり日本からレンタルのGoProを持ち込んでいたのですがそれも嫌な顔されるような事は無かったです。

高所恐怖症のため、恐怖で待っている間も飛びながらも半ベソでしたがジェットコースターと違い揺れる事もほとんど無く、乗り心地は予想以上に良かったです。船で待っている間はワイヤーで振り回されるイメージかなと思っていましたが、
ただ穏やかにふわふわ浮いていました。

一生に一度と思い参加しましたが、結果とても良い思い出になりました。

ノリも感じも良いスタッフさん達に感謝です。

普段車でも酔いやすいのですが、酔い止めを飲んで臨んだので船酔いは平気でした。
おすすめです。

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。

It was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide was so informative and polite it made the trip that much better.

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！

I was picked up at my hotel around 2:00 PM and was able to see the sunset and the starry sky. I was worried about the weather since it was raining in Kona in the morning, but the summit was clear with no clouds, and the view was very beautiful. We stopped at several observatories along the way, and I was able to take a lot of photos. I appreciated that our Japanese guide, SHOYO, came along and provided support in Japanese at times. I highly recommend this tour!

お昼の14:00前ごろに宿泊先のホテルでピックアップしていただき、夕日と星空を見ることができました。
朝のコナは雨が降っていたので天候を心配していましたが、山頂は雲ひとつなく晴れていてとてもきれいな景色でした。
途中で何箇所か天文台に寄っていただき、たくさんの写真も撮らせてもらいました。
日本人のガイドのSHOYOさんが来てくださり、ところどこ日本語でフォローしてくださったのもありがたかったです。
とてもオススメなツアーです！

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

I wanted to explore the northern part from the east, and after considering various options like buses or rental cars, I felt a bit anxious... then I found the perfect tour!

Our guide, Jonah, spoke fluent Japanese and provided a lot of information during the journey, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful scenery. With restroom breaks included, we hit all the key points, such as Leonard's Malasadas and the macadamia nuts from Tropical Farms (which I was curious about thanks to Risa Nakazato's recommendation, haha), along with China Man's Hat (where we even saw a honu!), and we had a lunch break at Kahuku Sugar Mill where we could eat whatever we liked! We got to enjoy Giovanni's famous garlic shrimp (and beer, since I wasn't driving!), explore Sunset Beach and Haleiwa, and savor local coffee at Green World Coffee Farm.

It felt like being taken around by a friend who lives there, and the tour was a perfect blend of what travelers are curious about and a chance to learn about Oahu. Thank you!

東から北の方にも行ってみたいが、バス？レンタカー？と色々選択肢を考えたが少し不安…ってところにちょうどいいツアーがありました！
ガイドのジョナさんが流暢な日本語で、移動中もたくさん紹介してくれ、綺麗な景色を楽しめました^-^
トイレ休憩含め、ポイントを押さえてくれているのでレナーズのマラサダやトロピカルファームのマカダミアナッツ(仲里依紗ちゃんオススメで気になっていました笑)、クアロナ・ランチ付近と併せてチャイナマンズハット(ホヌもいました♪)、カフク・シュガーミルで好きなもの食べてね～！ができるランチ休憩(メジャーなジョバンニのガーリックシュリンプ実食&(運転しないから可能な)ビール堪能！)、サンセットビーチやハレイワ散策、グリーンワールドコーヒーファームで地産コーヒー堪能♪

現地に住んでいる友人に観光に連れていってもらった感覚で、旅行客が気になることとオアフ島を知ってほしいを集約させたようなツアーでした♪
ありがとうございました！

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

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。
