Oahu
An enjoyable trip and you will have plenty of time for each session of activity, including sandbar tour, snorkeling at private reef and burger lunch. It’s definitely worth for joining!
Thank you Romero for your super friendly and knowledgeable guide. His pick up to and from the falls was on time. We only booked the shuttle 2 nights before &no dramasWould recommend Veltra to anyone who wants a friendly & reliable service.
I was really looking forward to the sandbar this time, and as mentioned in the reviews, the water level was about knee-high, so I participated with that in mind. When I arrived, the water level was indeed around my knees, just as I expected, but I was not disappointed at all; I was amazed by the beautiful scenery and the clarity of the sea! The staff actively took photos and engaged in conversation with us. The volleyball game we played with the staff and participants was a lot of fun! During the sea turtle watching, we were able to see many sea turtles from the boat. We even encountered a wild manta ray, which the staff said is rare, so we were lucky.
Snorkeling was my first experience, and I was anxious because I can't swim, but the staff explained everything clearly and patiently, and when I swam as instructed, I was able to move smoothly! They let me hold fish food, and fish gathered right in front of me. I also got to see a very large sea turtle resting in a coral reef hole! Each experience was truly wonderful, and I’m so glad I participated in this tour. All the staff were great, and I felt safe participating. Thank you very much.
今回とても楽しみにしていたサンドバー、口コミであったように、水位は膝ぐらいが当たり前の様子だった為、そのつもりで参加しました。
着いたところ、やはり水位は膝上ぐらいで予想通りでしたが、まったくガッカリすることは無く、周りの景色や海の綺麗さに感動しました!
スタッフさんも積極的に写真を撮ってくれたり、話しかけてくれました。
スタッフさんと参加者でやったバレーがとても楽しかったです!
海亀ウォッチングでは、沢山の海亀を船上から見れました。野生のマンタにも遭遇出来、スタッフさん曰く珍しい事だそうで、ラッキーでした。
シュノーケリングは、初体験かつ、泳げない身の為不安でしたが、丁寧かつ分かりやすく説明してくださり、その通りに泳いだらとってもスムーズに動けました!
魚の餌を持たせてくれ、目の前に魚が集まってきたり、珊瑚礁の穴には休憩中のとっても大きな海亀を見ることも出来ました!
どれも本当に素敵な経験で、心から参加して良かったツアーです。
スタッフの方も皆さん良い方で、安心して参加する事が出来ました。
ありがとうございました。
I participated in the latter half of November. Overall, I had a lot of fun. I think there might be better times to visit, but there are various activities to enjoy at sea, so it’s still a good option.
Looking back... I was guided to board one of two boats, with Japanese people on one and others on the other. It seemed that there were quite a few Japanese participants that day, and those who could speak English boarded the other boat.
The water depth at the sandbar was as expected, above the knees. If you're hoping for shallow water, I recommend checking the depth carefully. Even though the water was deep, it sparkled beautifully when the sun was out. For those who aren't particularly interested in taking photos, it might just turn into a snorkeling experience. November was a bit chilly. Beach volleyball seemed difficult with the deep water.
Then it was lunchtime. The lunch was okay. Since there were many Japanese on our boat, it took some time.
After eating, we headed to a spot where turtles appear. We saw quite a few! However, it was challenging to take photos as they quickly disappeared.
After that, we went snorkeling. We wore life jackets while snorkeling, so we were floating on the surface. There were many fish around the coral. I thought I saw artificial round rocks in the gaps of the coral, but it turned out to be a turtle! When I got closer, the turtle started swimming away, and I was really excited! When snorkeling, keep an eye out for turtles; you might spot one! Those who are confident swimmers were snorkeling without life jackets.
I really enjoyed the sea. I think it's suitable for people of all ages. Definitely have fun!
11月後半に参加しました。
結果としては、だいぶ楽しめました。
もっといい時期があるとは思いますが、海遊びとしては色々できるので良いのではないでしょうか?
振り返ると…
二艘の船に日本人こっち、それ以外こっちと誘導されて乗船。
参加した日は日本人が多めのようで、英語話せる方はもう一艘の方に乗られていました。
サンドバーの水深は予想通り膝以上。
砂が出ているのを期待している方は水深はしっかりチェックした方がいいと思います。
水深が深くても、晴れるとキラキラして綺麗でした。
写真にそんなに興味ない人はひたすらシュノーケリングになるかも。11月は少々寒かったです。
ビーチバレーは水深深いとやりづらそうでした。
そのままお昼の時間。
お昼はまぁまぁ。
日本人船は人数が多いので時間がかかります。
ご飯食べたらカメが現れるスポットへ。
結構会えるんですね。でも写真とるの大変。すぐ見えなくなります。
そのあとはシュノーケリング。
ライフジャケット着用でのシュノーケリングだったので、水面をくるくる。
サンゴの周りは魚がたくさんでした。
サンゴの隙間に人工的な丸い岩があるなーと思っていたら、カメでした!
近づいたらカメが泳ぎだして、かなり興奮しました!
シュノーケリングする際はカメがいるかもなので、探してみてください!
泳ぎに自信がある方はライフジャケットなしでもシュノーケリングされてましたよ。
海をだいぶ楽しめました。
老若男女いけると思います。
ぜひ楽しんで。
We participated in this activity because we wanted to see dolphins as a couple in our 50s. We were anxious about whether we would be able to see them, but we were moved to see dolphins swimming multiple times. Thanks to the staff who supported us.
Seeing sea turtles and enjoying delicious hamburgers along with the hula dance was also fantastic. It was a bit cold since it was early in the morning, so I was glad to borrow a wetsuit. There was a little time between getting off the boat and boarding the bus, so it might have been better to change into dry clothes.
We really enjoyed our time in Hawaii.
50代の夫婦でイルカが見たく参加しました。見る事が出来るか不安でしたが、何回もイルカの泳ぐ姿を見れ感動。スタッフさんがフォローして下さったお陰です。
ウミガメを見たり美味しいハンバーガーにフラダンスも最高でした。朝一だったためか寒く、ウェットスーツを借りてよかったです。船を降りてからバスに乗るまで少し時間があるので乾いた服に着替えたらよかったかなもです。
ハワイを満喫できました。
Thank you for participating in Dolphin & You. We are also delighted that you were moved by the dolphins. Please come visit us again!
ドルフィン&ユーへのご参加ありがとうございます。イルカに感動していただき、私たちスタッフも嬉しいです。是非また遊びに来てください。
Due to the hurricane, the weather was not good, and the water level was about waist-high. I had participated before and was very satisfied, so I think I would have been satisfied again if the weather had been good. Next time, I would like to try again when the weather is nice. The guide was the same person as last time and was very kind.
ハリケーンの影響で、天気が良くなく、水位も腰上くらいまでありました。
以前に参加し大満足だったので、天気が良ければまた満足できたと思います?次回、天気が良い時にリベンジしてみたいです。
ガイドの方は前回と同じ方で、親切な方でした。
I had a lot of fun compared to Japan! There were no lines, and I was able to ride multiple times!
There was an accident on the bus on the way, but the response was quick, so that was great!
I'm glad the kids enjoyed it too!
日本より、沢山遊べました!
順番待ちも無くて、何回も乗れました!
行きのバスでは、アクシデントがありましたが、対応が早くて、〇ですね!
子供達も喜んでくれて良かったです!
I participated in late November, but it was drizzling and the water temperature was low. The sandbar looked different from the photos, and there was no visible beach. The water was murky, and I couldn't see many fish while snorkeling.
11月下旬に参加しましたが小雨が降ったりして水温も低く、サンドバーも写真と異なり砂浜が見られず、水も濁っておりシュノーケリングもそれほど魚が見れませんでした。
The weather was cloudy, a bit windy, and chilly, and the sea was somewhat murky, which was disappointing. I hope that when I come back next time, it will be a beautiful sandbar.
天気曇り、風も少し強く肌寒く、海も少し濁っていてイマイチだった。次回来る時があれば綺麗なサンドバーであって欲しい。
The crew was low key and so very friendly. This was one of the highlights of our trip. My 8 year old surprisingly did great snorkeling and we al had a super time! Thank you so much!
We participated as a family of seven, including my spouse, my sister-in-law, and four children. The sandbar had a water level up to our waists due to the tides, but we were able to see sea turtles, and the two older kids thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling. If you're looking forward to the sandbar, I recommend checking the low tide times and making a reservation accordingly.
I was concerned that the two younger children wouldn't enjoy themselves since they couldn't snorkel, but the crew was very kind and attentive to them. They helped with meals and allowed them to stand at the bow of the boat and sit down, which made for an enjoyable experience beyond the scheduled activities. Once the younger kids learn to swim, I would love to participate again.
夫婦、義理の妹、子供4人の家族7人で参加させていただきました。
サンドバーは潮の関係で腰程度の水位でしたが、ウミガメも見れ、シュノーケリングも上の子二人はしっかり楽しみました。
サンドバーを期待していくのであればしっかり干潮時間を調べて予約することをお勧めします。
また、年下の子供2人はシュノーケリングができないので楽しめないかもと思っていましたが、クルーの方々がとても親切でシュノーケリングができない年下の二人の子供たちの事も気にかけてくれて、食事の手伝いや船首に立たしてもらったり、座らせてもらったりしてスケジュールにない事で楽しめたようです。
下の子二人が泳げるようになったらまた参加したいと思います。
I didn't dislike the ocean as much as I thought I would ( i _ i )
But the cast members were all amazing ♡
They really got everyone excited, and I had a great time!
海は思ったり嫌いではなかったです( i _ i )
でも、キャストさんがみんな最高♡
とっても盛り上げてくださり、本当に楽しかったです!
I visited in mid-November, but there was no sand visible at all, and the seawater was up to my knees. The BBQ felt more like just grilling meat on a boat rather than an actual BBQ experience. The snorkeling wasn't great either, as the water wasn't very clear, and I could only see nearby areas. The seas in Phuket and Japan were much clearer.
11月中旬に行きましたが、砂は全くみえず、膝上まで海水がありました。BBQ もただ船の上で肉を焼いているだけでBBQ という感じではありませんでした。
シュノーケリングもあまり海が綺麗ではなく、近くしか見えませんでした。プーケットや日本の海の方が綺麗でした。
I checked the low tide times and thought it would be impossible to participate, but the water was up to my waist and it was a bit cold. Fortunately, it was sunny, and the guide took some wonderful photos, so I have several picturesque shots. For lunch, we had freshly made hamburgers. They were warm and hearty, and eating them on the boat was very enjoyable. The snorkeling was a bit murky, but I was able to see many fish of various sizes. They came close because we fed them, which made for a great experience.
干潮の時間を調べて、時間的に無理だろうなーと思って参加していたのですが、腰まで水があって少し寒かったです。
ありがたい事に晴れており、ガイドさんが素敵な写真を撮ってくれたので絵になる写真が何枚も残っています。
ランチは出来たてのハンバーガーでした。温かくボリューミーで、船上で食べるととても美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングは少し水が濁っていたけど、大小の魚がたくさん見れました。餌をくれたので至近距離まで寄ってきてくれ、とてもいい経験ができました。
A great experience. The traditional music, food, atmosphere were all fantastic. Our guide Pua was exceptional. Filled us full of knowledge, most of all she was polite, courteous, personable, and very interactive.
The sandbar was about waist-deep at its shallowest point.
For lunch, I had a hamburger, which I thought was better than McDonald's.
During the sea turtle watching cruise, I encountered a scene where 7 to 8 rays were swimming in a circle, but I could only see turtles swimming in the distance.
The impression I got was that all the staff on the boat were young and seemed to be enjoying their work.
They ask for tips when disembarking, so it's a good idea to bring some cash.
サンドバーは一番浅い所で股下くらいでした。
ランチはハンバーガーでマクドよりはおいしかったと思います。
ウミガメウオッチクルーズでは、エイが7~8匹が円を描くように泳ぐ場面
に遭遇できましたが、カメは遠くを泳いでいるのが見えた程度でした。
船のスタッフがみんな若くて楽しそうに仕事しているのが印象的でした。
下船時にチップを求められるので、少しは現金をもっていくと良いです。
We participated in a family activity at the Dolphin Encounter with our 9-month-old child. After a brief explanation about dolphin ecology, we were able to touch the dolphins, take commemorative photos, and see their tricks up close. Most of the explanations were in English, but there were also occasional bits of broken Japanese.
There was no specific dress code mentioned, but since you'll be kneeling by the water, it's better to wear shorts and flip-flops that can get wet. Wearing pants might get you wet. There's no need to wear a swimsuit.
Next time, when my child is older, I would like to participate in an activity where we can swim with the dolphins. Since it's located at the Kahala Resort, we enjoyed lunch at a hotel restaurant along the beach after the activity.
9ヶ月の子供と家族でウィーファミリーに参加しました。イルカの生態について簡単な説明があった後、イルカに触れたり記念撮影をしたり、技を真近で見たりしました。ほとんど英語ですが、時折片言の日本語も交えて説明してくれました。
服装は特に明記されていませんでしたが、水辺で膝をつくのでハーフパンツ、濡れても良いビーサンで行ったほうが良いです。ズボンで行ったら濡れそうでした。水着で行く必要はありません。
今度は子供が大きくなった時に、イルカと一緒に泳ぐアクティビティに参加してみたいです。カハラリゾートにあるので、アクティビティの後はビーチ沿いにあるホテルのレストランでお昼ご飯を楽しみました。
Great time, very emotional . Hard to Imagine what all our troops went through
The tour guide was Japanese, and they took photos for us and provided great service, so I recommend it! ( ^ω^ )
ツアーのガイドさんが日本人で、写真を撮ってくれたりサービスも良かったのでオススメです( ^ω^ )
The view from standing on the sandbar was beautiful, the sea turtles were adorable, and the vibrant tropical fish while snorkeling were all wonderful.
サンドバーに立って見渡す景色の良さ、ウミガメの可愛らしさ、シュノーケリングでの熱帯魚たちの鮮やかさ、どれもとても良かったです。
I participated in a plan that included light snacks. I thought it might be a bit short, but the timing was just right for us! For snorkeling, I think going to the very front would have provided a better view. We were able to see sea turtles and manta rays, and it was great to take photos at the sandbar!
軽食付きのプランに参加しました。
短いかなーと思ったけど、私たちにはちょうどいい時間設定でした!シュノーケリングは、一番前方にいく方がきっときれいに見れただろうなー。ウミガメとマンタもみれたし、サンドバーで写真もとれてよかったです!
Hi,
We are from Sydney Australia here! Just want to say how awesome was the view and also the crew. Our experience was very fantastic. View was amazing, lovely crew and lovely lunch as well. Will definitely be recommending to my friends and family. Till next time!
Cheers,
Marshel
It was very convenient to be able to make a reservation in Japanese! The shuttle came close to the hotel, and I felt reassured because they provided support in Japanese. I would definitely like to use this service again when I go to Hawaii.
日本語で予約できたのでとっても便利でした!
送迎もホテルの近くまできてくださり、日本語で対応していただけたので安心感がありました。ハワイに行く際はまたぜひ利用したいです。
We had an amazing time on our sunset cruise!! The crew was very accommodating and we appreciated the thoughtfulness to take care of our family as we are traveling with our 91 year old father. He had a wonderful time as well!!! Definitely will do it again! Loved the sunset!!
Great tour, our driver ‘Captain Ron’ was great, very informative and someone who really loves his job! Pick up time was 07:30 so a bit later than other full day tours which we preferred too. Only issue was that we picked some people up from the airport coming from Maui who had missed their flight so had to wait for an hour, but Captain Ron kept us entertained and we still had plenty of time at each place.
Personally I loved the video and the boat trip around the Missouri but my husband loved the Aviation museum. Would definitely recommend this tour and plenty to see and do!
In the end, I couldn't see anything at all, neither shadow nor figure. It seems like they tried their best, but... I received a ticket for the next boat ride, but since it was the last day of my trip, I couldn't use it. The boat was fairly large and not crowded, so I could go out on the deck or sit comfortably in a chair. It felt like a drive on the water in pleasant weather.
結局、何も影も姿も、見ることはできませんでした。
頑張ってくれたみたいですが・・。
次回乗船チケットをもらいましたが、旅行最終日だったので、使えませんでした。
船はそこそこ大きくて、満員でもないので、甲板に出たり、ゆったり椅子に座ったり。
気持ちのよい天気の中、船でドライブ、といった感じでした。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
We are very sorry to hear that you were unable to see any whales on the day of your participation.
If you have the opportunity, please come again.
All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

私共のクルーズにお越しいただき誠に有難うございました。
ご参加頂きました日はクジラを観測頂けなかったとの事、大変残念に思います。
機会がございましたら是非またお越しください。
スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

The staff were very nice
Sand bar was beautiful but snorkel spot wasn’t clear water
Enjoyed the dinner buffet, would probably only recommend maybe a start time a little earlier like 3 p.m. This would allow everyone a chance to enjoy to cruise during daylight before the dinner start.
This was a super and well worth it tour. We had the Missouri in Washington state for many years and it was so great to see what a wonderful job Hawaii has done in taking care of this part of history. I learned so much history I didn't know about this war and these ships. The tour driver we had was one of the most knowledgeable ones I'd ever had he told us a lot of info we didn't learn on the tour. Not sure how to spell his name Kaleo I think. I would love to do it again as there was so much to learn.
It was great taking this tour with our toddler. It was my second time to make it to Kaneohe SandBar. My first on Captain's Bobs boat. The Crew was great and even though your sharing the tour with everyone else on the boat It didn't feel cramp at all. It was great to share the experience with other guest.
The food was good too. Most of my friends and I went in for seconds for sure.
The Sandbar experience was great too, even though there were jellyfishes on the water the crew was very good about keeping us informed on where to not go so that we can prevent from getting stung by the jellyfishes.
While we were on the tour it rained but that's Hawaii for you. If anything it made the experience that much better:)
