Waimea Valley Toa Luau & Free Admission Entry Ticket to Waimea Falls [5:00 PM]

A Hawaii "must do"!

Reviewed by: Stan C

A cultural and historical event that any and every visitor to Hawaii should experience at least once. Not only is it a smooth operating show, but they did an outstanding job of explaining the historical reasoning behind everything.

The food was great and the hospitality was first class. Their location on the north side of the island was amazing and a counterpoint to the the South side. There's also the added benefit of being just down the road from famous Sunset Beach!

花火鑑賞クルーズ 花火を見ながらのロマンチックなクルージング<金曜日限定/ケワロ湾発>by Hawaii Nautical

I enjoyed both the sunset and the fireworks. サンセットも花火も楽しめました

Reviewed by: タマちゃん

I wanted to see the Hilton fireworks, so I decided to join the dinner cruise the night before. I'm glad I could sign up on such short notice.

Every time I come to Hawaii, I've booked a dinner cruise, but honestly, I was surprised by the small boat and that dinner was a bento box. I was the only Japanese person who couldn't speak English well, and I was worried about what would happen if something went wrong. However, when I communicated my concerns to the staff, they reassured me that it would be fine and encouraged me to enjoy myself. They also made sure to take care of my drinks.

In the end, the bento box, which I was initially surprised by, turned out to be delicious on the boat, and I was able to eat it all. The fireworks were beautiful, and overall, I had a great time participating. (Having two drinks also lifted my spirits, haha!)

ヒルトンの花火が見たくて前日の夜でしたが、思い立って参加しました。急でも申し込めてよかったです。
毎回ハワイに来た時はディナークルーズを申し込んでいたのですが、正直小さい船(ボート?)でびっくりして、ディナーもお弁当なのがびっくりしました。
日本人でまともに英語が喋れないのが私一人だけで、何かあった時に困るのでスタッフに伝えると問題ないですよ、楽しみましょうって言ってくれて、飲み物等も気を遣ってもらえました。
結局びっくりしたお弁当も船の上だと増し増しで美味しくて、全部食べられました。
花火もきれいで、総じて楽しんで参加できました。(お酒2杯で気分が上がったのもありますw)

乗馬体験(1.5時間) ノースショアの海辺を散策!ロマンチックなサンセットプランや貸切プランから選べる 8歳から参加OK!

I had an amazing time. すんごい楽しかった

Reviewed by: じーこ

I was worried about participating since I couldn't speak any English, but the explanations were clear and easy to understand thanks to the use of gestures, allowing for a smooth experience.

Traveling by bus would have taken quite a long time, so we took an Uber from Matsumoto Shave Ice on the North Shore.

The horseback riding lasted about an hour and a half, and there were two local guides for our group of two. They took nearly 50 photos and shared all of them with us for free via AirDrop.

Even as first-time riders, the horses followed the path perfectly. The scenery was beautiful, and it was truly amazing.

全く英語が出来ず心配で参加しましたが、ジェスチャーを交えてわかりやすく説明してくれたため、スムーズに体験することができました。
移動はバスだと時間がかなりかかるため、ノースショアのマツモトシェイブアイスから、Uberで行きました。
乗馬の時間は1時間30分程で、2組に2人の現地のガイドが付いてくれました。写真も50枚近く撮ってくれて、エアドロップで無料で全てくれました。
乗馬初体験の私たちでも、道順通りに馬が乗せてってくれました。景色も良くて本当に最高でした。

Kualoa Ranch Movie Sites Tour - Visit TV Shows & Hollywood Filming Locations

Hollywood movie tour

Reviewed by: Andy

Not what we expected, drove round the hillsides in a bus looking at sign boards that said what was filmed there. Holes dug in the ground claiming they were dinosaur footprints but had to be filled in because cows were falling in them. Also film props of bones that were too fragile to be touched as they will break as they were made of polystyrene... really!

I was able to see a sea turtle and film it with my go pro while on the banana boat ride. The drive notices the sea turtle and slowed down for us! It was PERFECT! The views were spectacular!

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

Making family memories!

Reviewed by: C Webster

Absolutely enjoyed the excursion. I was able to book for a family of 7 only days in advance. Glad that worked out for us! The crew was professional, fun, and caring. I was a first time snorkeler and non swimmer. One of the crew members was kind to tote me around the reef to help ease my anxiety. I saw a majestic turtle and fish! The bbq burger lunch was superb! They stayed on schedule. No complaints whatsoever. I would absolutely recommend booking on Veltra.com for booking with Captain Bob’s snorkel tour! It was quick and convenient. You won’t be disappointed. It made for a memorable day! Thank you to the Captain Bob’s crew! You guys were amazing!!

Good show but could be better...

Reviewed by: Heidi

The show was good. The host is very entertaining. Food is as usual, nothing spectular. Upon arrival, only adult received drink tickets which the description did not indicate kids and youth don't get ticket for drink. With the price, the kids deserve soda tickets. It will be better if there are more pre-show activities, such as more photo backdrops and more lighting.

The sandbar is absolutely beautiful. The staff is amazing, super helpful and friendly. The water was freezing and unfortunately it was also very cloudy when we went out so getting in the water was very uncomfortable for me. But if you don’t mind cold water you will love this tour!!!! You have gorgeous views and fun activities to do on the sandbar (snorkel, volleyball, kayak). Definitely recommend if you can handle cold water!!!
