Easy entry process, meet by dance troop and greeted by crew member. Scored a very nice table by the window. Staff were warm and friendly and our first free drink was delivered promptly. Food was good and plentiful and stayed out as long as people kept going up. Show was as expected with all staff taking part. We did the fireworks night which was fab. Only real complaint was with the Sunset, the sun didn't com out to play :).
We enjoyed the evening thank you

I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in two years. It was early in the morning, but the water wasn't as cold as I expected. The fish swimming around are always the same. This time, there was someone who was visiting Hanauma for the first time, so I made a reservation, but the entrance fee is a bit high, so I think it might be good for a while. The driver was handsome and helped by purchasing the entrance tickets all together. The snorkeling set and life jackets were clean.
2年ぶりのハナウマベイに行ってきました。朝一でしたが、予想より水は冷たくなかったです。泳いでる魚は毎回同じです。今回、初ハナウマの人がいたので申込みしましたが、入場料もかるし、とうぶんいいかなぁと思います。ドライバーさんはイケメンで、入場チケットの購入をまとめて購入してくれて、助かりました。シュノーケルセット、ライフジャケットは綺麗でした。

At the entrance, there were commemorative coins to choose from, which was fun! I didn't bring a towel since it would be extra luggage and I planned to buy one as a souvenir, but I was able to purchase it at the shop as planned, and I still love using the bath towel.
入り口に記念コインがあり数種類選べて楽しかったです♪
タオルが荷物になるのと記念に購入しようと持ち込みませんでしたが、予定通り売店で買えて、バスタオルは今も気に入って使っています。

I thought the male server was wonderful with his passionate service towards the store and his work. A few hours before my visit, I had eaten shaved ice, so I was quite full. I checked with a Japanese staff member if I could take my food home, and they wrapped it beautifully. The next day, I warmed it up at the hotel and enjoyed it deliciously.
テーブル担当の男性がお店や仕事への愛が溢れる接客で素晴らしいと思いました。来店数時間前にシェイブアイスを食べた為、お腹がいっぱいになってしまい持ち帰りできるか日本人スタッフの方に確認したところ綺麗に包んでいただき翌日ホテルで温めて美味しくいただきました。

I made a reservation for a date without checking the tide levels, but it turned out to be just when the tide was coming in, and the water level at the sandbar was around my waist. Last time it was about ankle-deep, so I felt a bit disappointed and reduced my rating by one star.
You can check the tide levels at <https://www.usharbors.com/harbor/hawaii/mokuoloe-hi/tides/#monthly-tide-chart>. However, compared to the last time when the weather was mixed with rain, this time there were more sunny intervals, so I felt like I got a bit of a revenge on that front.
The tour I participated in last time had a lot of marine activities, but this time I was mainly looking forward to the BBQ hamburgers. The patties grilled on the BBQ set on the boat were delicious. As for activities, I enjoyed beach volleyball and snorkeling. I was able to choose not to wear a life jacket for snorkeling, which allowed me to enjoy skin diving (the last tour required a life jacket). I also encountered a lot of sea turtles.
A local staff member asked if my wife was a local, but at first, I didn’t understand what was being said, which was a bit amusing.
潮位を確認せずに行ける日程で予約しましたが、結果はちょうど潮が満ちてくる時間帯で、サンドバーでの水位は腰のあたりでした。前回は踝くらいだったので、残念な感じで星一つ減。
潮位は、<https://www.usharbors.com/harbor/hawaii/mokuoloe-hi/tides/#monthly-tide-chart> とかで調べられます。
しかし、前回の天気は雨混じりだったのに比べると今回は晴れ間が多かったので、そこはリベンジできたかな。
前回参加したツアーはマリンアクティビティが豊富でしたが、今回のツアーはBBQハンバーガー目当て。船上のBBQセットで焼かれたパテが美味いこと。
アクティビティとしては、ビーチバレーとシュノーケリングを楽しみました。シュノーケリングはライフジャケットを付けないのも選択できたので、私としてはスキンダイビングも出来て楽しめました(前回のツアーはライフジャケット必須だった)。ホヌにも沢山遭遇することが出来ましたし。
ロコのスタッフから、私の妻はロコなのかと訊かれたのですが、最初何を言われているのか解らなかったのは御愛嬌。

I participated with my 8-year-old and 6-year-old children. The guide was Japanese, and the entire trip was conducted in Japanese.
The activities included visiting the sandbar, observing sea turtles, and snorkeling, and we were very satisfied with the lunch, which was a charcoal-grilled hamburger.
By the way, alcohol is available for purchase, but soft drinks are free.
I was worried about whether my kids could snorkel since they are small, but they provided equipment for children, and there were no issues at all. The kids had an absolute blast.
One area for improvement would be to create a changing room. I wondered about the lack of a place to change on the way back. A few poorly mannered Japanese individuals were changing in the long line for the restroom stalls.
We had to ride the bus in wet swimsuits, and the air conditioning was too strong, making it cold. Since there’s no place to change, I think it’s a good idea to bring extra bath towels to cover up on the way back.
Other than that, it was fantastic.
8歳と6歳の子供と一緒に参加しました。
ガイドさんは日本人で、道中はオール日本語です。
サンドバー、ホヌ見学、シュノーケリングに加え、お昼ご飯は炭焼きハンバーグのバーガーで大満足のアクティビティでした。
ちなみにアルコールは有料ですが、ソフトドリンクは無料で頂けます。
子供達が小さいのでシュノーケリングが出来るか心配でしたが、子供用の装備も用意されており、全く問題ありませんでした。
子供達はめちゃくちゃ楽しんでいました。
一点改善して欲しいところは、更衣室を作って欲しいです。
帰りに着替えれないところはどうなのと思いました。
マナーの悪い日本人が数名、長蛇列のトイレ個室で着替えてました。
濡れた水着でバスに乗るのですが、エアコンが効き過ぎてて寒くなりました。
着替えれないので、帰りに体を覆えるようにバスタオルは多めに持参が良いと思います。
それ以外は最高でした。

I had seen beautiful scenery of Kailua and Lanikai Beach on various websites and had been determined to visit them on my next trip to Hawaii.
Being able to move around freely at our own pace allowed us to relax in our favorite spots. One of our goals was to hike to the Lanikai Pillbox, but my wife found it too difficult, so we decided to give up halfway. However, we were able to enjoy a leisurely time at Kailua Beach, where they lent us beach chairs and dry bags for free. The pizza we had for lunch at Bob's Pizzeria was also very delicious, and we were completely satisfied.
Next time, I will make sure my wife is fully equipped and we will tackle the Pillbox!
いろんなサイトでカイルア&ラニカイビーチの綺麗な風景を見て次のハワイ旅行では必ず行きたいと思っていました。
自分たちのペースで自由に動き回れるので、お気に入りの場所でまったりと過ごすことができました。
目的の一つだったラニカイのピルボックスは妻が無理ということで、途中で断念しましたが、ビーチチェアやドライバッグも無料で貸してくれてカイルアビーチでのんびりと過ごせました。
ランチで食べたボブ’s ピッツァリアのピザもとても美味しくて大満足でした。
次回こそ、妻の装備を万全にしてピルボックスに挑戦します!

Private table is not Private at all, you have about 2ft at the most between tables. Service was slow we were told by the server he was covering our area due to another employee not showing up. It took a while to get drinks or water refilled. They don't have condiments available for your meal. It was very warm during dinner and the sun was blinding. Take sunglasses. The top deck was a great area to get some air. There was a large amount of guest and I thought they do a pretty good job handling the amount of people on board but it may be too many for the guest to have a truly great experience

I was picked up from the hotel, and it took about an hour to get to the port, but being on the boat was amazing! The weather was bad, so we couldn't see the sandbar, but the delicious hamburgers and the abundance of sea turtles and tropical fish were so incredible that my child hesitated to swim. ✨ The tour guides were friendly, attentive, and all very nice. It was my first trip to Hawaii, and I'm glad we booked the tour. I hope we can see the sandbar next time!

Best time on island when we are here. Highly recommended. The crew is friendly and safety is readily apparent. Shy is a great captain and knows her stuff! The hospitality and food are above reproach. Value throughout the trip and worth every bit. Nothing short of spectacular and the opportunity to see Sea Turtles, fish of different species, and Rays. Best value we have found near the North Shore.

I ordered a $150 course. The flavors of the meat and pasta were excellent, and it was very delicious. I also ordered a bottle of sparkling wine for about $80. The price of the meal included the tip, which was reassuring given the current weak yen. It seems to be a very popular restaurant, as it was fully booked. I'm glad I made the reservation through Veltra. There was also a Japanese staff member at the restaurant who provided detailed explanations. This is a restaurant I would like to visit again.
150ドルのコースを注文しました。肉やパスタの味が最高で、とても美味しかったです。80ドルくらいのスパークリングワインのボトルを注文しました。料理はチップ代が込みで、円安のいまは安心でした。とても人気店のようで、満席でした。予約も兼ねて、ベルトラで申し込んで良かったです。レストランのスタッフさんも日本人がいて、説明も詳しくしてくれました。またリピートしたいレストランです

Our Tour Guide, Jon, was an outstanding storyteller and kept us entertained with background, legends, history and personal observations of the stops on the tour. He was treated us as Ohana and made sure we had water and juice, delivered our lunches to us, checked that every one was comfortable. At the waterfall trail, my knee acted up so I found a shady spot to wait for my husband. Jon had rented a scooter to go down to the waterfall to check on everyone else. On the way back Jon insisted I use the scooter to return to the bus. I nominate him for employee of the year.

This time, I purchased from Veltra because there was a discount coupon. If there is no coupon, it's cheaper to buy on-site using coupons like those found in free papers. Also, for seniors, even at regular price, it's cheaper on-site.
今回はベルトラの割引クーポンがあったので、ベルトラから購入しました。クーポンがない場合には、フリーペーパーについているようなクーポンを利用して現地で購入したほうが安いです。
また、シニアのかたは定価でも、現地のほうが安いです。

Our hotel was called Ilikai, and it was a bit far from the meeting place at the Sheraton, but we appreciated the adjustment to gather at the Hilton Hotel five minutes earlier. Additionally, the locals spoke a little Japanese, which made us feel at ease. Since it was late August, there were only two other families besides us participating, so we were able to enjoy the tour bus comfortably. The local facilities were not crowded, and it turned out to be a day that the whole family could enjoy.
我々のホテルはイリカイと言って集合場所のシェラトンからは少し離れてましたが、ヒルトンホテルへ5分前に集合と言う事で調整して下さり助かりました。
また、現地の方々も片言の日本語を使って下さり安心出来ました。
8月下旬と言う事も有り参加者は我々の他2家族と少なく、ゆったりとツアーバスが利用出来たのも良かったです。
現地の施設も混雑はなく家族全員で楽しめました一日となりました。

It was overall an enjoyable experience. I had minor gripes I don’t recall anyone asking how we would like our steak cooked, some were medium, some were medium rare, I know it was a busy day but we found a hair. I enjoyed the drink selection and the bartender did a great job. The servers and staff were great. It was rather warm and it wasn’t until the way back that someone decided to open the “plastic windows” to allow more of a breeze. The Luau portion was just as enjoyable as everything else. I truly had a great time, and would definitely recommend.
