Very comfortable bus with a bathroom. Our driver Larry provided a plethora of information about Oahu and Pearl Harbor. Highly recommend both the Arizona and Missouri tours. Take the guided tour on the Missouri as the guide will point out many facts and stories you would not otherwise learn. Food stands at the Missouri are much better than what's available at the Arizona so if you want to snack hold off until you get to the Missouri. This was a great tour and I highly recommend it!

The flair show you usually see is on a completely different level of intensity. It was disappointing to have a lot of waiting time after entering. I wish there had been a bit more time to enjoy the meal.
普段見るフラショーとは迫力が格段に違います。

I really wanted to see an Elvis show while staying in Hawaii. I googled Elvis shows and this one had excellent ratings. We booked the Luau Buffet and show. When we got there we were taken to our seats. Everyone was really nice. They start everyone with a Mai Tai that was really good. We then started the buffet line. The food was great quality & really good. My husband & I enjoyed it very much. During dinner there was a little hula show. It was very fun to watch our server dancing! She was great! After dinner we were escorted to the theater. I was very surprised by the venue. It didn’t seem like it was very big from the outside but once we got in I was pleasantly surprised!! The show was absolutely amazing!! Each performer was outstanding. Every detail about the show was right on point; the band, the dancers, the choreography, the costumes, the singers and the impersonators!! I really enjoyed it! We loved that they also have a meet & greet after the show. I would recommend this show 100%!!

It was completely different from when I flew in Guam; it was quite sudden, but it had a great atmosphere, and I got really into it. The flight time was long, and I was able to calmly enjoy the scenery. My sister-in-law, who came with me, was experiencing it for the first time and was really moved.

I checked the low tide times during my stay and chose a day when the tour coincided with low tide. Unfortunately, it was a day with a low tide of 0.9 feet, so the water was only knee-deep, but there were no waves, and both my elementary school-aged children and my one-year-old had plenty of fun playing. The sandbar was incredibly beautiful, and I was truly moved! My one-year-old daughter and I waited on the boat during snorkeling, but the staff supported my son. The hamburgers on the boat were delicious, and our cheerful guide was the best! It was a very satisfying day!
滞在期間中の干潮時間を調べてツアー時間と干潮時間がかぶる日を選んで行きました。残念ながら0.9feetの日だったためひざ下くらいでしたが波もなく小学生と1歳の子どもたちもたっぷり遊べました。初めてのサンドバーはとにかく綺麗すぎて感動しました!シュノーケリングは私と1歳の娘は船で待機でしたが、スタッフの方が息子をサポートしてくださりました。船上でのハンバーガーも美味で、陽気なガイドさんがまた最高でした!大満足な1日でした!

The water level at the sandbar was up to my waist, but it was beautifully clear and I was truly impressed. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and I was very satisfied! On top of that, at the diving spot, I was able to swim with sea turtles. Although it rained on and off that day and there was some wind, I was told that the diving spot wasn't very clear, but I was still able to play with a lot of fish, and it was really fun. Also, the personality of the instructor was absolutely wonderful.

I have seen various shows so far, but this was the largest in scale. The content was a bit drawn out, and my 4-year-old daughter lost focus midway. However, the dance itself was very sophisticated. We were seated in row L (with A being the front) because I signed up just a few days prior.
The shuttle bus was guided by a lovely Japanese exchange student who was always smiling. She kindly introduced us to the landmarks along the way and shared information about Hawaii. I regret not giving her a tip. On the way back, it was just the driver.
The meal was a buffet, and while the variety was limited, the quality was good. It was far superior to the Sheraton we visited later! Alcohol was not included on the menu.

My first skydiving experience.
The dream of flying in the sky, even just once, has come true.
The weather was great, making it a perfect memory.
The instructor and the cameraman who jumped with me were wonderful people. Although I'm usually not good with heights, I wasn't scared at all.
They made the freefall filming exciting, and it was a fun dive.
I thought it would be cold at 4,000 meters, so I wore an undershirt, but it turned out to be unnecessary; it seems it's better not to wear one.
If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to jump again.

I participated with my wife.
The location is quite far out on the North Shore, so renting a car is essential.
We don't use Uber, so I'm not sure how frequently it operates in the area.
There were seven participants, including us.
We were the only two Japanese people.
After checking in, there was a briefing for about five minutes, and then we got right on the horses.
The check-in and briefing were all in English, but the content was simple.
It included instructions like which way to pull the reins to steer and to stand up when the horse needs to relieve itself.
Even if you can't catch everything in English, you'll receive a printed notice in Japanese at the beginning, so as long as you memorize that, you'll be fine.
Now, regarding the horseback riding experience, after riding a bit on the ranch, we took a course along the beach.
Since it was along the beach, there was quite a bit of dust kicked up by the horses, and depending on the wind direction, it could get pretty white in front of you.
However, the view of the North Shore from the horse's back was extraordinary and the best part of the experience.
At the rest point, the guide took a lot of photos, leaving us with many memories of the trip.
We were lucky enough to see a rainbow, but unfortunately, the sunset wasn't very beautiful due to a lot of clouds. The guide also mentioned that it was disappointing, but clouds can't be controlled (laughs).
We returned to the office at 7:30 PM.
We were on horseback for a full hour and a half.
Although the accessibility from Waikiki isn't great, the special experience of riding along the beach is something you can't find elsewhere.
As of June 16, 2018, when I printed the voucher from Veltra, it mentioned that the parking lot was at the far left of the arena after entering the main gate, and that the gate should be closed after entering. However, in reality, the entrance to the horseback riding check-in office was at the next gate without entering the main gate.
妻と参加しました。
場所はノースショアのかなり外れの方にあるのでレンタカー必須です。
私たちはUberを使っていないのでこの近辺でUberがどの程度走っているのかはわかりません。
私たち含めて参加者は7名。
日本人は私たち2名だけでした。
受付をすませて時間になると5分程度のブリーフィングを行なってすぐに馬に乗り込みます。
なお受付、ブリーフィングは全て英語ですが簡単な内容です。
方向を決めるには手綱をどっちに引けとか、馬が用をたす時は立てだとか。
またもし英語が聞けそうになくても最初に日本語の注意書きのプリントを渡されるのでその内容を覚えてしまえば大丈夫です。
さて肝心の乗馬体験は牧場敷地を少し乗った後ビーチ沿いのコースを乗りました。ビーチ沿いなので馬が歩くとかなり砂埃が舞うので風向きによっては結構目の前が真っ白なんて事もありました。
でも馬の背からみるノースショアの景色は非日常感を味わえて最高でした。
休憩ポイントではガイドさんが写真をたくさん撮ってくださり旅の思い出がたくさん残りました。
私たちは運良く虹を見ることができましたが、夕日については残念ながら雲が沢山あったのであまり綺麗ではありませんでした。こればかりはガイドさんも残念だけど雲はコントロールできないと言ってました(笑)
オフィスに帰ってきたのは19時30分。
なんとたっぷり1時間30分も馬の背に乗ってました。
ワイキキからのアクセス性が悪いけど、ビーチ沿いを乗馬できるという特別感は他ではなかなか味わえないと思います。
ベルトラさんのバウチャーをプリントした2018/6/16現在、駐車場はメインゲートを入って競技場を左端まで行ったところ、更にゲートは入場後閉めてくださいと記載されていましたが、実際はメインゲートを入らずに次のゲートまで車を走らせたところの入り口(ゲート無し)が乗馬受付オフィスでした。

We departed from Honolulu in the evening and immediately enjoyed a buffet-style meal, followed by the "Breath of Life 'Ha'" show.
I really wanted to see the Māori Haka, but after arriving at the center, I thought I would have some time to explore the village, but there was hardly any time, and by the time we got there, all the village performances had already ended. If you're just going for the meal and the show, I think it would be much more enjoyable to go during the day and see the performances at each village.
The return bus is different from the bus we took to get there, so it's essential to remember your return bus number. It seems they organize the pickups based on the language spoken.
ホノルルを夕方出発で、着いてすぐにバイキング形式の食事、その後Breath of Life "Ha"のショーを見てきました。
本当はぜひマオリ族のHAKAを見たかったのですが、センターに着いた後、多少村を見て回る時間があるかと思っていたもののほとんどなく、また時間的にどの村のパフォーマンスも終わっていて見ることができませんでした。
ゴハンとショーだけなら、ぜひ昼間に行って各村のパフォーマンスを見た方が楽しいと思います。
帰りのバスは行きのバスとは違うので、必ず自分の帰りのバス番号を覚えておく必要があります。

In June, I participated in this tour. When I first tried snorkeling, I struggled and couldn't really see much underwater, which was a disaster. So, I really hesitated about joining this time, but after reading other people's experiences, I decided to go for it.
As a result, I received really kind and thorough instruction from Chieko and Dan, and I am truly grateful to them. I was scared to even put my face in the water and thought I might not be able to do it, but Dan told me to breathe slowly and relax, holding my hand tightly. Then, the tour with six people started! Chieko took over and guided us, swimming while holding our hands. Gradually, my fear disappeared, and when we spotted fish, Chieko would call out and even tell us their names, which made me very happy.
Since the rocks are very close, I recommend borrowing a wetsuit. It helps those who are not very good at swimming to float more easily and prevents injuries. The snorkel I borrowed here ensures that as long as you can breathe through your mouth, no water will come in, so for those who are anxious like me or not confident in swimming, you can definitely participate. If I could do it, anyone can... haha.
Swimming for almost an hour can be quite tiring, but seeing the fish makes all the fatigue disappear. If you want to get out, they will take you back to shore.
Lastly, there can be some seasickness, so I think it's a good idea for those prone to motion sickness to take medication beforehand. Thank you so much, Chieko, for holding my hand and swimming with me until the very end. I had the experience of swimming with fish in the ocean for the first time. I am grateful.
6月、このツアーに参加させていただきました。初めてシュノーケルした時は、上手く出来ずろくに海の中を見る余裕もなく最悪だったので今回参加するにあたって本当に悩みましたが他の方の体験談を読み思い切って参加させていただきました。
結果、本当に親切丁寧に教えてくださってチエコさんダンさんには本当にお世話になりました。顔をつけるところから怖くて無理かなあ?と思っていたところ、ダンさんがゆっくり息をしてください。力抜いてくださいと言って手をしっかり握ってくださいました。そして、6名でのツアースタート!チエコさんに交代してみんなの後をしっかり手をひっぱって泳いでくれました。だんだん怖さもなくなり、魚をみつけてはチエコさんが声をかけてくださって、お魚の名前も教えてくれたり、うれしかったです。岩がとっても近いのでウエットスーツを借りることをおすすめします。泳ぎがあまり得意でない方は浮きやすくなりますし、ケガ防止にもなります。こちらでお借りしたシュノーケルは呼吸さえ口で出来れば絶対に水が入ってくることはありませんので、私のように不安のある方、泳ぎが得意でない方、参加を迷われてる方、大丈夫です。私でもできましたから。。。。笑
1時間近く泳ぎっぱなしでかなり疲れますがお魚さんを見たら疲れも吹っ飛びますよ。上がりたくなれば沖まで連れて行ってくれます。
最後に波酔いがありますので、船酔いしやすい方は薬を飲んでいくといいと思います。
本当にチエコさん最後の最後まで手を引っ張って泳いで下さりありがとうございました。はじめて海の中をお魚さんと一緒に泳げるという体験をさせていただきました。感謝しています。
Candy, thank you for joining our tour! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it!! Snorkeling is an activity that anyone can enjoy as long as you breathe calmly through your mouth. It really depends on your enthusiasm to give it a try! (laughs) In our tour, we use dry snorkels, so it's less likely for water to enter your mouth, making it perfect for beginners. Please do consider joining us again when you come back to Hawaii.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
キャンディ様、この度は私達のツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。楽しんでいただけたようで良かったです!!シュノーケリングは落ち着いてゆっくりお口からだけの呼吸をしていただければ、どなたでも楽しんでいただけるアクティビティです。後はやってみよう!と思うご本人様の意気込みでしょうかね(笑)私達のツアーではドライシュノーケルを使いますので、お口に水も入りにくく、初めての方でもきっと大丈夫ですよ。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはリピートしてくださいね。

[About the BBQ Lunch]
I thought the BBQ would be grilled on a net until the day before, but after reading everyone's reviews the night before, I saw comments saying it was just [sliced meat]. I had no expectations at all. Indeed, there were sliced beef and chicken available, and it wasn't a BBQ in the traditional sense, but the taste was delicious! I think I wasn't disappointed because I had low expectations! There were also yakisoba, salad, and fruit available!
[About the Sliders]
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to ride all the sliders with a 3:00 PM pickup, but since each slider was not separated and there was hardly any waiting, I was able to try them all! You can understand from the website that when the slider next to one is open, that slider will close for 30 minutes... and they open alternately! In the morning, there was no waiting at all, and it was smooth, but it started to get a bit crowded in the afternoon, and I had to wait a little (still only about 5 to 10 minutes). If you want to ride twice, it might be better to do so while it's still open! Also, there is a slider called Shaka that drops from almost a 90-degree angle, and if you don't keep your neck strong, it can really hurt your neck. I was fine the first time, but on the second ride, my neck got jostled, and now I feel like I have whiplash...!
[Other Advice]
- The concrete below is hot, so don't leave your flip-flops in the locker (the small locker costs $13, can be opened and closed, and was spacious enough for two people's belongings). It's better to wear them down to the slider. Most sliders have floats or inner tubes placed underneath, and you carry them yourself up to the ride. Everyone was casually taking off their shoes near where the floats were and heading up!
- I was wondering if I could take my smartphone on the slider, but I had it in a waterproof case hanging around my neck, and no one said anything. (I’m not sure if you can take pictures while on the slider...)
My flight was canceled on the way there, and I had booked this tour for the second day, but I couldn't make the 9:00 hotel pickup. I sent an email to Veltra at night, and they responded immediately (I thought I wouldn't get a reply since it was outside of business hours, but they replied late at night and even called me the next morning). They successfully handled the schedule change right before the cancellation/change deadline. I have used Veltra many times for various overseas trips, and it is truly convenient and cost-effective! Thank you very much!!
[BBQランチについて]
BBQは前日まで網で焼いて食べるBBQだと思っていたのですが、前日の夜に皆さんの口コミを読んだら[細切れの肉が置いてあるだけ]
と書かれていて、全く期待してなかったです。
確かに細切れのビーフとチキンが置いてありそれをバイキング形式で取る形でBBQではなかったですが、味は美味しかったですよ(^^)期待してなかったからガッカリしなかったんだと思います!他には焼きそばとサラダ、フルーツが置いてありました!
[スライダーについて]
15:00ピックアップで全部スライダー乗れるかなーと不安でしたが、中は一つ一つのスライダーが離れておらず、また並ぶ事も殆どないので全部制覇出来ました!
HP読んだらわかると思うのですが、スライダーは隣のスライダーが空いている時は隣のスライダーが30分閉まる、、、という形で交互に開く形でした!
午前中は全く並ぶ事なくスムーズでしたが、午後からは少し混み始めて少し並びました(それでも5〜10分くらい)2回乗りたい!と思ったら空いているうちに乗ってた方がいいかもしれません!
また、シャカというほぼ90度の角度から浮き輪に乗って落ちるスライダーがあるのですが、首にしっかり力を入れて置かないと、首がやられます。
私は1回目は平気だったのですが2回目で首が持っていかれ、むちうちのような状態になっています、、、、!
[その他アドバイス]
・下のコンクリートは暑いので、ビーサンはロッカーに預けず(ロッカーは小が13ドル、開け閉め可能、2人分の荷物余裕でした)
スライダーの下まで履いていった方がいいです。
殆どのスライダーの下に、浮き輪とかフロートが置いてあり、それを自分で持って乗り場まで上がります。浮き輪置いてある所の近くにみんな適当に脱いで上まで上がっていました!
・スマホ、持ってスライダー乗れるのかな?と思っていましたが、首からぶら下げる防水のケースに入れていたら特に何も言われませんでした。(スライダー中に撮影していいかまでは分かりません、、、)
行きの飛行機が欠航になり、このツアーは2日目に予約していたのですが、9:00のホテルピックアップには間に合わなくなったため、ベルトラさんに夜メールを送っていたらすぐにメールの返事をくださり(夜営業時間外だったので返事はすぐには来ないだろうと思っていたら、深夜に返事をくださり翌朝電話までして頂きました)
キャンセル・変更期限ギリギリの所で無事に日程の変更手続きしてくださいました。
ベルトラさんはこれまで何度も色々な海外旅行の際に利用させて頂いていますが、本当に便利でお得です(^^)
ありがとうございました!!
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback!

This was my first time, and my partner had participated about ten years ago. We arrived early but were allowed into the venue. First, we headed to the buffet area. It felt like the Japanese attendees were gathered at the back of the line.
The welcome drink, Mai Tai, could be chosen as alcoholic or non-alcoholic. It was pleasantly sweet and delicious. Next, the whole roasted pig was brought out, which really raised the excitement.
We lined up to get our food, but we had to wait quite a bit. It felt very American in that regard. In Japan, staff would guide you based on how quickly the line was moving, and you wouldn't have to wait in line holding heavy plates. But here in sunny Hawaii, you shouldn't sweat the small stuff.
The food included vegetable salad, macaroni salad, glass noodle salad, marinated tomatoes and salmon, teriyaki chicken, white fish curry, and the whole roasted pig, among a few other dishes. Everything was decent, but I particularly enjoyed the white fish curry.
As we continued eating, desserts were served: rainbow sherbet, chocolate cake, and cookies. There was also coffee and tea. I only had the chocolate cake, but I thought it was not too sweet for Hawaii and quite tasty. The coffee was Kona coffee, which I enjoyed with the cake.
During the meal, there was live ukulele music and singing. The staff, dressed in hula costumes, created a great atmosphere! There are plans with and without meals, but the difference is about $30. If you're purely considering the food, you might think the no-meal option is fine, but if you factor in the atmosphere and the excitement of the show, I think the meal option is better.
However, the dining area is under a tent. If it rains, it could really dampen the mood. Rain might come in from the sides, and it could be hard to hear the live performance. I've heard that Hawaii has been experiencing more rain lately due to weather changes, so it’s a matter of luck.
After the meal, we moved to the show venue.
At the entrance, there was the usual photo opportunity. You can purchase the photos on your way out, but we were in a hurry to find a restroom due to the alcohol, so we didn’t buy any. I’m not sure how much they cost.
We took a photo with an Elvis impersonator and then headed to our seats. The first floor was occupied by those who had the most expensive meal plan. We were seated on the second floor. The middle seats would have been ideal, but they seat you in the order you enter, so it’s a matter of luck. We ended up in the middle of the third row. There was a good step up, so we didn’t have to worry about the heads in front of us.
Finally, the show began. There were screens on both sides and at the back, and the performance started with hula dances and costumes from different eras, accompanied by old footage of Hawaii. It felt like there was a history to both Hawaii and hula! The music, costumes, and dances changed with the eras, revealing a history I was completely unaware of, which was a bit moving.
The show transitioned from the Elvis era to a mix of Elvis and hula, then to Michael Jackson. A female singer also appeared, and rather than an impersonator, she seemed to be a Hawaiian music singer. I was overwhelmed by her singing ability.
Since I’m not from the Elvis generation, I can’t say how similar she was. The same goes for Michael Jackson; I knew the songs, but I’m not sure about the impersonation. For those who know dance, the quality would be evident, but as an amateur, I enjoyed it. Both performances were well integrated with video footage of the original artists, creating a fantastic atmosphere.
I had given up on seeing fire dancing indoors, but there it was! Seeing fire live is truly impressive. The hula costumes changed frequently, and the singing was satisfying, making the time fly by.
Initially, I had heard it was an impersonation show, so I honestly didn’t have high expectations, but I got to learn about the history of hula, experienced a fusion with Elv
私は初めてで相方は10年ほど前に参加経験ありです。
集合時間より早くに着きましたが会場に入れました。まずはビュッフェ会場です。日本人は各々の後尾に集められた感あります。
ウェルカムドリンクのマイタイはアルコールとノンアルが選べます。程よい甘さで美味しかった。
次に豚の丸焼き登場でテンション上がります。
順番に並んでお料理を頂くのですが、結構並んで待ちました。そこはアメリカンな対応だなって。日本だったら進み具合を見ながらスタッフが誘導し、重い皿を持ったまま並ぶことにはならないでしょうね。でもここは常夏ハワイ。細かいことは気にしたらダメです。
お料理は野菜サラダ、マカロニサラダ、春雨サラダ、トマトとサーモンのマリネ、照り焼きチキン、白身のカレー風、豚の丸焼きとあと数品あったと思います。どれもまあまあですが、私は白身のカレームニエルが美味しかったです。
食事が進むとスウィーツが登場します。レインボーシャーベット、チョコケーキ、クッキーです。あとコーヒーと紅茶もありました。私はチョコケーキだけ食べましたが、ハワイの割にそんなに甘くなく美味しいと思いました。コーヒーもコナコーヒーでケーキと一緒に頂きました。
食事中ウクレレの生演奏と生歌。スタッフがフラの衣装で雰囲気は十分!
食事ありとナシのプランがありますがその差30ドルくらい。純粋に食事だけ考えるとナシでもいいかなって思えますが、雰囲気とショーへのテンションも考えるなら食事ありの方がいいと思いました。
ただ食事会場はテント下です。もしスコールがあったらテンションだだ落ちでしょう。横から雨が降り込んだり、生演奏が聞こえにくかったりしそう。最近のハワイは気象の変化で雨が多いらしいので、これは運でしょうね。
食後はショー会場へ移動します。
入り口でありがちな写真撮影です。帰りに購入することになるのでしょうけど、私たちはアルコールのおかげでトイレに急いでたので購入せずです。いくらかもわかりません。
プレスリーのそっくりさん(?)と写真を撮って客席に行きます。1階では一番お値段の上のコースの方たちが食事中でした。私たちは2階席です。真ん中の席が良いでしょうが、入った順番に座らせられるのでこれも運です。私たちはちょうど3列目の真ん中でした。しっかり段差があるので前の方の頭は気になりません。
いよいよショーです。
両サイドと正面奥にスクリーンがあり、昔のハワイの映像とともにその年代であろう衣装とフラのダンスが始まりました。
ハワイの歴史とフラにも歴史あり!って感じで年代によって音楽や衣装、ダンスにも変化がありました。全然知らなかった歴史が垣間見えて少し感動しました。
プレスリーの年代からプレスリーとフラのショーでマイケルジャクソンと移っていきます。女性シンガーも登場しますが、その方はモノマネというよりハワイアンミュージックのシンガーなのでしょう。歌唱力に圧倒されました。
プレスリー世代ではないので似てるかはわかりません。マイケルジャクソンも微妙ですが歌は知ってました。ダンスは見る人が見たらクオリティが分かるでしょうが、素人の私は楽しめる程度でした。どちらもスクリーンに本人の映像とコラボしてて雰囲気はバッチリでした。
室内なので諦めてたファイアダンスもありました。やっぱりファイアは生で見ると圧倒されます。
フラの衣装も次々変わっていき、歌も十分聴きごごたえありであっという間に終わってしまいました。
私ははじめモノマネショーと相方に聞いていたので正直期待してなかったのですが、フラの歴史に触れられて、プレスリーやマイケルとも融合し女性シンガーの歌にも圧倒され価値あるエンターテイメントだったと思います。
相方は10年前の記憶があるので昔はもっとマドンナとかもいてて、今回はクオリティが下がったと言ってました。
モノマネショーをメインで思うなら物足りないかもしれませんが、私はポリネシアンショーが好きなので大満足です。ぜひもう一度参加したいですし、お値段以上の価値はあったと思いました。おススメです!

It started with pick up , Cousin Emma and a great big Aloha we traveled to Paradise Cove , when we arrived we got our photo taken , then we were given a compliment Mai Ti . We walked around and watched several events that were happening purchased a few more cocktails . We then were gathered in an ampatheater to watch the pig getting removed, we were then invited to the dinning area where the meal was ready to be served . The meal was simply amazing we had never been to a luau before and this was excellent and now the show , the dancers singers and musicians put on on tremendous show. If you are looking to go to a luau this is the one to go for Aloha !

Since I turned sixty, I had the feeling that I needed to fly early, so this time became the best challenge for me. Jumping from the Cessna wasn't scary, but the immediate turn afterward surprised me. However, Instructor B2 operated the skydiving smoothly, so I was able to land without worry. I didn't expect to feel airsick after landing, but the joy of having flown outweighed that.
還暦過ぎたころから 早めに 空を飛ばなきゃ という思いでいましたので
今回は 最高のチャレンジになりました。
セスナからの飛び降りは怖くなかったのですが、直後の旋回はびっくりしたました。 しかし、インストラクーのB2さんが空中遊泳を操作してくれたので
心配なく着陸できました。 着陸後に空酔いが待っていようとは予想しませんでしたが、それより 空を飛べた喜びのほうが勝りました。

It takes a little while to get there by bus from Waikiki, but it's worth it! The show is very well structured and keeps you engaged, with everyone delivering powerful performances. There were also some touching moments, and it made me realize that even living in the city, we need time to reflect on a simpler way of life.
ワイキキからバスで少しかかりますが、行く価値はあります!

We had a great morning cruise with Dolphins and You. The local crew (certified life guards and professional entertainers!) were very friendly and full of energy. They explained everything in both English and Japanese since there were quite a large number of Japanese tourists on our 40 person tour. There was music and dancing on the way to the spinner dolphin site. We sat at the back of the boat and enjoyed the sun and sea air; thank goodness we had lots of sunscreen! I wear glasses and there were prescription masks on the boat so I could see everything clearly.
The crew-led Hawaiian chant and orchid offering when we entered the dolphin site brought us good luck. The crew went in the water with us and pointed out several pods of dolphins swimming right by. I wanted to stay with the dolphins longer, but we had another scheduled stop. At the snorkeling site, a sea turtle swam right under our group and there were lots of fish all around. The inflatable water slide, “surfboard” and kayak added to the fun. For lunch we had cheeseburgers on taro buns with bags of chips — very tasty. The crew sang and danced a couple of hulas on the way back; a perfect ending to a great morning!
We drove from our hotel, arrived at the Waianae Boat Harbor early, and were a little concerned when we didn’t see any signs for Dolphins and You. However, a bus with Dolphins and You on the side pulled into the parking lot right where they said to meet at the specified meeting time. Be sure to take Dramamine if you think you might get motion sickness. Several people on the cruise got sick, even though I didn’t think it was very rough. I took a Dramamine before we left on the Dolphins and You cruise and was fine (I had gotten sick on a previous snorkel trip to Molokini off of Maui). Definitely APPLY SUNSCREEN early and often...the sun is very strong on the water.
Aloha Cathy, and mahalo for your 5-star review! We appreciate you taking the time to share your detailed and thoughtful review of our tour! And we're so glad that you appreciated the extra dose of Aloha that is unique to Dolphins and You :).
We could not agree more with your suggestions of Dramamine and sunscreen use. That's the best way to stay comfortable on the water. We also recommend reef-safe sunscreen (which we offer in our office in Waikiki) to protect both your skin AND Hawaii's fragile coral reefs! Thank you again for your review. Please come again some day!

A special thanks goes out to Captain Amy and her crew.
A big shout out to Coreen (I hope I spelled correct), my 7 year old daughter freaked out when she hit the water so the wife and my 5 year old son went on, after my son was done holding onto me I took him back to the boat it was at that time that another of the crew members had a baby octopus and my son freaked so back on the boat he goes, but the good part was Corren had my 7 year old daughter with aspergers in the water and ready to swim over to us, when she saw the turtles and fish she freaked so back to the boat she goes, but it was truly amazing and we will do it again. Then a great sail to cap off the amazing snorkeling adventure

I showed my voucher at the booth as instructed, but was told it was the wrong place and that I needed to go to the Sheraton. When I went to the Sheraton, there was no reception area. When I returned, I saw the same person from earlier with the boat in the photo, so I asked again and was told to wait there. However, while I was left waiting, more and more people boarded the boat, and as they were about to close it, I asked again and was told to hurry up. During the tour, everything was lively in English, but the only time I heard Japanese was when they asked for tips at the end. It was the worst experience.

We’ve been on snorkeling cruises in the past (some out of Waianae Boat Harbor) but never with this company. We visit Hawaii often (my wife was born and raised in the islands) we view island activities with a critical eye. This was a super dolphin/snorkel trip. The cruise is on a smaller boat, which has the advantage of offering a smaller group of people, a more intimate experience, and a little more adventurous ride - I like all three. Staff on these boats are there to 1. Offer safety 2. Offer service and 3. Offer fun and adventure. The Dolphin’s and You staff were excellent on all counts. I’ve seen the “fun” part on other boats get a little smarmy, but the staff on this boat really did a great job of encouraging people to participate and enjoy themselves without being overly “slick” or pushy. They also had some talented people who shared music I found enjoyable.
I take my own pictures with underwater stills and video. The videographer/photographer on the trip did a super job and was kind enough to show me some great shots while still attending to everyone on board. I wish I could say that about all the snorkeling/watching tours we’ve been on.
Overall I’d say this was a really good trip - for anyone - experienced or novice. Tips: If you have motion sickness, or aren’t sure if you have motion sickness, take dramamine. Do it. Take sunscreen - Use it. If you’re not familiar with photography (above and below water) leave your gear at home. Experience the trip and allow the professional the ship provides offer you some of the best shots you’ll ever see - most likely better images than you can take yourself. Fooling with gear and worrying about taking pictures, will detract from the memories you can make just being in the water and seeing the amazing things the crew will show you.
There are lifetime memories you can take away from a half-day trip like this. It might *seem* pricey to some, but I assure you that it is worth every cent and you’ll be ready for more.
Aloha Bruce! Thank you so much for your sincere 5-Star review.
We so appreciate you taking the time to offer this genuine feedback and to provide tips for other guests. We agree with your suggestions on all counts! Coming from a guest who has been on many tours and a photographer, this review means a lot. We invite you to come and try out our waterfall hike tour Nature and You or our circle-island tour Island and You on one of your trips back to the island, as well!
