It is not air conditioned. Just has fans. The boat rocks a lot so even if you don't get motion sickness you will probably still get sick. It is more enjoyable for young children. Staff was really nice though. We were able to see octopus and a lot of fish.

Great time. Show had ups and downs but overall it was nice. We upgraded to preferred seating which was nice but i think it was not really worth the extra money. Food was really good. I would do it again.

There were no fish, and even if there were, they were mostly dark-colored, so I was disappointed after spending half a day there.
The staff were friendly, though!

The captain and first hand took advantage of the great sea conditions. They were helpful and encouraging to all passengers, no matter their ability. The captain safely maneuvered the boat in, out and around caves. There was a lot to see. This was our second time doing this trip and it was even better than the first. Would do it again.

This was my first time watching a luau show, so I can't compare it to others, but I really enjoyed the cute dances and the fire dance. After checking in and being guided, we had a photo opportunity (available for purchase at the end for those interested). Once we were seated at our assigned table, drinks were brought to us, and we could enjoy the sunset by the beach while the kids had fun with face painting services. We also got to see the whole pig being roasted. After being seated, there was time to greet the people at the neighboring table, but since our family isn't very good at English, we could only manage to ask where they were from.
The dancers were relatively young, a mix of boys and girls, which gave a cute impression. At one point, kids and newlywed couples were called up to dance together, creating a homey atmosphere.
The meal was served buffet-style, and I tried a bit of everything, all of which was delicious. There wasn't really time for seconds, but the dessert corner had snacks like potatoes that paired well with drinks, so I was able to go back for those multiple times.
ルアウショーを見るのが初めてなので、他と比較することはできませんが、可愛らしいダンスとファイヤーダンスを楽しむことができました。受付をすませて、誘導されると記念撮影が待っています(最後に希望者は購入可)。案内されたテーブルに着いた後、ドリンクを持ってきてもらい、海辺のサンセットを眺めたり、子供達は顔にペインティングをしてもらうサービスを楽しむことができます。また豚の丸焼きができあがったところも見せてもらいます。席に着くと、隣のテーブルの人達と挨拶をしたりする時間がありますが、私たち家族はあまり英語が得意ではないので、出身を聞くくらいの会話しかできませんでした。
ダンサーは割と若い、男の子と女の子といった感じでした。なので可愛らしい印象です。途中で子供達や新婚カップルなどが呼ばれて前に出て一緒に踊る時間もあり、アットホームな印象でした。
食事はバイキング形式で、一通り食べましたが、どれも美味しかったです。食事はおかわりをする時間がありませんでしたが、デザートのコーナーにはポテトなどのお酒のおつまみもあるので、それは何回も取りに行くことができました。

It's the best experience! The crew's service, the delicious food, and above all, the beauty of the ocean...!!
The flow of the tour was as follows:
- Early morning pickup in front of the hotel
- Everyone gathered at the dock
(There were about 30 people in total. We were the only Japanese.)
- Breakfast buffet in the order of boarding
(There was plenty of bread, muffins, fruits, etc.)
- Snorkeling at Molokini Island
(The clarity was amazing... we saw various tropical fish, including angelfish.)
- Lunch
(We had burgers. The meat was grilled on the boat, and it smelled great. We could choose from about three types.)
- Snorkeling at a point called Turtle Town
(We were able to swim close to sea turtles. The beauty of the ocean here was also incredible... thanks to the sunlight, the seabed sparkled, and it was breathtakingly beautiful.)
- On the way back to the dock, we enjoyed beer (as much as you want; it's all-you-can-drink.)
- We were driven back to the pickup location and then dispersed.
☆ Advice
- Once on the boat, sit near the entrance indoors. The view from the second floor is beautiful, but it gets really hot.
- Organic sunscreen was provided on the boat, but it turns quite white when applied, so it might be better to bring your own to avoid looking like a clown.
- When there's sunlight, your back and calves can get burned! Make sure to apply and reapply sunscreen.
- Lunch can get quite crowded, so it's best to grab it early. Getting it early will also help with your condition for the next snorkeling session.
I wrote various pieces of advice, all of which I learned from KANA, the crew member who provided Japanese support. I really appreciated her help. I gave a tip to KANA personally when disembarking. She was bright, attentive, and a wonderful person.
We missed it, but it seems that whales could be seen even in April. There were also whale sharks. You can expect more fun than just snorkeling, so if you visit Maui, definitely participate!
最高の一言です。クルーの対応、食事のおいしさ、何より海のきれいさ…!!
ツアーの流れとしては次のようなかんじです。
・早朝ホテル前でピックアップ
・船着場でみんな集合
(全部で30人ほどだったでしょうか。日本人は私たちだけでした。)
・乗船した順に、朝食バイキング
(パン、マフィン、フルーツなど、十分な量でした。)
・モロキニ島でシュノーケリング
(透明度がすばらしかったです…いろんな熱帯魚を見れました。エンゼルフィッシュもいました。)
・昼食
(バーガーでした。お肉は船で焼いてくれて、いい匂いが漂ってました。3種類くらいから選べました。)
・タートルタウンというポイントでシュノーケリング
(ウミガメと至近距離で泳ぐことができました。ここでも海のきれいさがすばらしくて…日差しがあったおかげで海底もキラキラしていて、言葉にならないきれいさでした。)
・船着場までの帰り道はビールを飲みながら(何杯でも。飲み放題です。)
・ピックアップ場所まで車で送ってもらって解散
☆アドバイス
・船に乗船したら屋内で出入口から近い席に座りましょう。船の2階も眺めはきれいですがめっちゃ焼けます。
・オーガニックの日焼け止めが船に用意されていましたが、塗ったらけっこう白くなるので、顔はバカ殿みたいにならないように、自前のものを塗って行った方が良いかもしれません。
・日差しがあると、背中やふくらはぎ等、体の裏側が焼けます!しっかり塗る&塗り直し必須です。
・昼食はけっこう並ぶので、早めにゲットしちゃいましょう。早めに消化させちゃったほうが次のシュノーケリングへのコンディションとしても良いと思います。
色々アドバイス書きましたが、これ全部、日本語サポートしてくれたクルーのKANAさんから教えてもらったものです。本当にお世話になりました。下船する際にチップをKANAさん個人へお渡ししました。明るくてサポートもきめ細かくて、とってもすてきな方でした。
私たちは見逃しましたが、4月でもクジラが見えたみたいです。ジンベイザメもいたとのこと。単なるシュノーケリング以上の楽しさが期待できるので、マウイ島に行かれた際はぜひ参加してみてください。

I was concerned about the trip due to the rain in the morning, but I was relieved when the boat safely left the port. Unlike tours from certain companies, there were many international participants, which really enhanced the Hawaiian atmosphere. Due to the weather, we couldn't go to Molokini Island, but we snorkeled at Coral Garden and another location, where the underwater scenery was beautiful, and I lost track of time playing with the fish. The breakfast, lunch, and open bar were all satisfactory, and combined with the staff's attentiveness, I had a great time (I was a bit anxious about using the restroom due to my age, but that was not an issue). This was my third tour with Veltra, following the sandbar and catamaran cruise on Oahu, and I have never been disappointed. I would like to book another tour with Veltra to get my revenge on Molokini Island next time.
朝からの雨で決行自体が気になりましたが、無事船は港を離れひと安心。某社のツアーとは違い、海外の方の参加が多くハワイ気分は盛り上がります。天候の関係でモロキニ島には行けず、コーラルガーデンと他1か所でのシュノーケリングとなりましたが、海の中もとても綺麗で思わず時間を忘れ魚と戯れました。朝食・昼食・オープンバーともに十分な内容で、スタッフの方々の気遣いと併せて、とても楽しむことができました(年齢的にトイレの利用が不安でしたが、その点も問題なしでした)。オアフ島でのサンドバー、カタマランクルーズに続いてのベルトラでのツアーとなりますが、今まで外れはなく、次もベルトラでモロキニ島のリベンジをしたいと思います。

Our driver Scottie from Temptation Tours was the best I've ever seen. Kept us engaged the whole ride. Knew everything about the island, people, history. Knew all of the best places to stop, where all of the good and bad bathrooms were down to the minute. Told us when the drive by pic was coming up so that we knew to get our phones/camera ready. Stopped multiple times and took the best video and pics of not only us but something cool on the stop. The wraps at lunch were superb. The captain's chairs in the van were perfect. Flying back with Troy from Maui Air was just as incredible. He played cool music and the ride was smooth. Saw a bunch of the falls and even played a little "chase and ride along" a friend he spotted in an ultralight. Highly recommend this combo. We were back at the hotel by early afternoon! Veltra Tours made it so easy and kept us up to date via email during our trip.

I'm so happy we did this on our vacation. The experience was beautiful. The boat sailed right up to the sand to pick us up. The crew were all professional and friendly. They helped us on and off in the tricky surf conditions. Quite a few people got really wet so take that warning serious and dress appropriately.
The appetizers and drinks were delicious and top-notch. The sea was a little choppy so a few people in our party were sea sick, but I recommend half a dramamine.
We saw whales breaching in the distance as the sun set over the waves. Overall and amazing experience, would recommend 10/10.

It was a fantastic and impressive show that my husband, who visited Hawaii for the first time, thoroughly enjoyed! However, there were hardly any Japanese people on Maui, and my husband, who doesn't understand English, couldn't follow the explanations or guidance.
I also only understood a bit (just everyday conversation), so I was anxious about communication, but I was busy supporting my husband... haha.
Since it's an overseas trip, it's natural, but be aware that it won't be like Honolulu, where you see Japanese people everywhere.
On the other hand, everyone was really friendly, and the show was incredibly lively! I definitely want to go again!
ハワイが初めての旦那さんも大満足な迫力ある素晴らしいショーでした!
ただ、マウイ島には日本人がほとんど居らず、英語の分からない旦那は説明や案内が分かりませんでした。
私も聞き取りのみ(日常会話程度)だったので、コミュニケーションには不安でしたが旦那のフォローで手一杯に...笑
海外旅行なので当たり前ですが、ホノルルのような見渡す限り日本人のようにはいきませんので注意。
その代わり、みーんなノリが良くてショーも最高の盛り上がりでした!
また、是非いきたいです!

On the day of the trip, the wind was strong, so we couldn't go to Molokini Island. However, instead, we visited two other locations and were able to see turtles.
At the snorkeling spots, the waves were small despite the wind, so there were no issues. The staff members were very friendly, and there was no need to worry even for beginners. Meals were prepared for both breakfast and lunch, and for lunch, we made our own burgers by choosing our own toppings.
I would like to use their services again when I come to Maui.
