All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

There were too many participants, so we couldn't board the large boat and ended up going to the sandbar on a cruiser with two honeymoon couples (≧▽≦)ﾉ It was very comfortable.
The sea was crystal clear and very beautiful ♡ It was completely different from Waikiki.

You can go snorkeling nearby, but we didn't do that and just played at the sandbar. There were plenty of floaties and toys available to borrow. We had plenty of time and were able to play a lot.
I was so happy to see a sea turtle up close, which I had always wanted to do (*>∀<*)ゞ

On the way back, we got to steer the cruiser, which was a very valuable experience.
I really felt lucky‼ I'm so glad I participated in this tour.
The staff were all really nice, and I made some wonderful memories.
Thank you very much ♡

参加者が多すぎたのか大きい船には乗れず、ハネムーンカップル2組に紛れてクルーザーでサンドバーまで行くことになりました(≧▽≦)ﾉとても快適でした。
海は透き通ってて、とても綺麗でした♡ワイキキと全然違いました。

その近くでシュノーケリングが出来ますが私たちはせずにサンドバーで遊んでました。浮き輪や遊び道具がいっぱいあり借りることが出来ます。時間もたっぷりあり沢山遊ぶことが出来ました。
念願のウミガメも近くで見れて嬉しかったです(*>∀<*)ゞ

帰りはクルーザーを操縦させてもらえて、とても貴重な体験をしました。
ほんとにラッキーでした‼
このツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。
スタッフの方もいい人ばかりで、とてもいい思い出ができました。
ありがとうございました♡

I participated in October 2011. I apologize for the old story. I was anxious about bringing my five-year-old twins, but thanks to Yuka (I wonder if she’s still there), everything was completely fine. The kids got so comfortable that they flew over to me while I was already in the sea. Having twins was no obstacle at all, and I’m very grateful.

2011年10月に参加しました。古い話でスミマセンが。
双子の五歳児連れで不安がありましたが、ユカさん（今もいるかな)
のおかげでまったく大丈夫。子供たちもなついて安心するあまり、
先に海に入ってた私のところに空中を飛んできました。
双子連れが全く障害にならず、感謝感謝。

Awesome cruise. Great dinner. Amazing fireworks. Definitely worth booking for July 4th

I've been to Oahu about ten times, and since I lived there for a few months during a short language study program, I thought there wouldn't be any places I didn't know. But there were! (◎o◎；）Well, it's been about seven years since my last visit... There are sandbars in various places, so I wasn't expecting much, but it's still Hawaii! I'm super excited! The local crew is cheerful, and they took lots of photos. We quickly went snorkeling, saw some fish, ate sandwiches, and wrapped it up quickly. I guess I would get bored after about 30 minutes! In the afternoon, we could fit in other activities too, so it's a groundbreaking tour (＾－＾). However, while searching for sea turtles, I was excited until I saw two or three, but after that, I just swayed on the boat and relaxed...

オアフ島は、10回は来ていて
短期の語学留学で数カ月住んでいたのもあって
知らない場所もないかなぁと思ったら
あった！(◎o◎；）
まぁ最後に来たのも7年前くらいだし・・・
砂州は色んな所にあるので期待もしていなかったが
やっぱりハワイですな！
テンション上がりまくりまクリスティ～♪
現地のクルーの人達も明るいし
写真もバンバン撮ってくれて、さくっとシュノーケリングして
魚見て、サンドイッチ食って、さくっと終了～
まぁ、きっと30分もいたら飽きるっしょ！
午後は、他のアクティビティーも入れられるし
画期的なツアーですな（＾－＾）
ただ、ウミガメ探しは２，３匹見るまではテンション上がっていましたが
その後は、船にユラユラゆられ
マッタリしていた・・・

The sea didn't seem very beautiful, perhaps because it was cloudy. The bottom of the boat is designed as a toilet that directly flushes into the sea, right? There was something floating on the surface of the water that looked like a piece of wood, and when I tried to grab it and throw it far away, it turned out to be feces. Moreover, there were two spots floating around.

曇っていたせいか、海はあまりきれいに感じなかったです。船の底がトイレになって海に直接流すようになってるんですよね？海の表面になにか木切れのようなものが浮いていて、つかんで遠くに投げようとしたらそれはうんちでした。しかも２箇所にぷかぷか浮いていました。

I participated with a senior colleague from work. The staff were very friendly, and there was music playing on the boat, creating a fun atmosphere. I was expecting a BBQ on board, but it was just simple hamburgers, which was a bit disappointing. However, they were very delicious! Everyone had the chance to see dolphins and sea turtles, as we were able to enter the water twice at the designated points. The hula dancing was physically demanding, but I enjoyed the whole day. I think it would be a lot of fun to participate with a large group of friends.

会社の先輩と参加しました。
スタッフの方々がとても気さくで船上でも音楽がかかっていたりと、
楽しい雰囲気でした。
船上ではBBQと聞き、期待していましたが簡単なハンバーガーだったのが少し残念でした。とても美味しかったですが！
イルカと海亀は全員がみれるようにポイント地点では２回海に入ることができました。
体力的にフラダンスがキツかったですが一日中満喫できました。
大人数の友達と参加するととても楽しいと思いました。

I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was the first time I learned about such a large pool and decided to participate.

The facilities were indeed on a grand scale, as expected from an overseas location. I had some concerns about safety and lacked the courage to try some of the slides, which left me with a bit of regret, but all the slides were fun.

I went with a few friends this time, and there were many slides that could accommodate multiple people, so there was no need for anyone to wait in line.

Even though it was a weekday, it got quite lively in the afternoon, so there were always opportunities to enjoy the slides.

On the day we participated, it rained occasionally, which caused us to take breaks, but while chatting with my friends, we said, "It’s hard to imagine screaming like this in a pool in Japan," and we forgot our age and had a great time.

There are lockers available, but I think around $15 per person, including food and drinks, is sufficient, just for your reference.

Depending on the crowd, I believe you can enjoy all the slides in about three hours.

For those with children, there were many families playing together on the smaller slides, which makes for great memories.

ハワイは何度か行っていますが
こんな大きいプールがあることをはじめて知り、参加しました。

施設はさすが海外の規模でした。
ちょっと安全面が心配で勇気がなく遊べないスライダーもあり若干の後悔を残しましたが　笑
どのスライダーもおもしろかったです。

今回は友人と数名で行きましたが
複数名で乗れるスライダーも多くあったので
誰かが順番待ちで調整するなどもありません。

平日でしたが、午後からは結構にぎわっていたので
どのスライダーも常時遊べるタイミングはありました。

参加した日は雨が時々ふったりしたため遊びを中断する時もありましたが
「日本でこんなにプールで絶叫することはありえないだろうね」
と友人と言いながら、歳を忘れはしゃぎました。

ロッカーもありますが、
食事＆飲み物含め一人１５ドル程度あれば、十分だと思いますのでご参考まで。

混み具合にもよりますが、３時間もあればスライダーは一通り楽しめると思います。

お子さんがいる方は、小さい子供用のすべり台で
一緒に遊んでいるファミリーも沢山いたので良い思い出になりますね。

I enjoyed the cruise dinner very much. Beautiful meal with a beautiful transportation to take in the view of the beautiful island.

This event was amazing!!! There is so much history behind it, that I left hungry to come back for more information!! It's a must see for everyone!!! It's an unforgettable experience!! Get to experience the deck in battleship Missouri. The tourist guide where very helpful. I'm happy that I booked all my activities with Veltra Hawaii activities, they send me reminders and I got curtesy calls 1 day prior to my events. Thanks again for all your great work!!

It was beyond what I expected. Nice entertainment for the whole family. The food was very delicious. The host where very friendly

Our favorites were the Mighty Mo (USS Missouri) and the Bowfin, we spent the entire day doing all the sites

This show will spoil you...other luaus just won't measure up! Do yourself a favor and get the Royal seating close to the stage, especially if you will be attending with kids. You don't want them to miss a thing! We all loved it!

My grandmother and I chose this as something different to do from the sightseeing and beach time we had been enjoying. The transportation is great even for those of us that are familiar with the island, and well worth the additional cost. The seating area is packed and truly would be more enjoyable with fewer people crammed in. The food and service were far better than expected and the "All You Can Eat" crab truly lives up to the name. The boat from an external view is beautiful and makes a striking appearance out on the open ocean. On the decks there are areas that could be maintained better, especially the areas that food is served from and are in plain view of guests. The top deck is amazing for catching sight of the city line and would be a great place to spend a romantic evening with a significant other. Overall this is something that I am glad we experienced and would be willing to take others on.

Passport includes all four museums at Pearl Harbor, but you must still get there early to pick up your Arizona tour tickets. I got in line at 7am, and had no problems. It was important for us to stop and learn more in detail about the events in Dec 1941, while paying respect to those who lived and fought in WWII. USS Missouri was quite a sight as well as you get to see a lot of the ship on your tour.

The children especially had the most fun!
The kids' pool was well-equipped with many small slides, and at first, they were very curious watching other kids enjoy themselves. Gradually, they started to challenge themselves with various activities.
The lifeguards were attentive, regularly checking on the children's actions, and if they engaged in any risky behavior, they would blow their whistles to alert them. It felt a bit strict at times, but I thought it was likely for the children's safety.
The adult slides and activities were also impressive in scale, featuring attractions that you wouldn't find in Japan, which was truly breathtaking.
I look forward to the next visit when my children are a bit older, as there are slides they can challenge together with the whole family. It would be great to enjoy the slides together on the same float.
There are also coin lockers conveniently located in the center of the facility, making it easy to store and retrieve our belongings.
I can't wait for the next time we can go!

特に子供が一番楽しめていました♪
子供用のプールが充実していて小さいスライダーなど沢山あり
最初は他の子が楽しんでるのを見て興味深々で
少しずついろいろなアクティティにチャレンジしていました。
ライフガードの方々がこまめに子供たちの行動をチェックしていて
少しでも危ない行動をしたら笛を吹いて注意を促すなど
まあ少しは厳しくも感じましたが、逆に子供たちの安全を考えての事なのだろうなと思いました。
大人向けのスライダーとうやアクティビティも迫力満点のスケールで
日本ではないアトラクションなどもありとても圧巻されました。
是非次回もう少し子供が大きくなり一緒にチャレンジできるスライダーとかもありましたので
一緒に家族全員同じ浮き輪でスライダーを楽しめたらと思っています。
施設の中心にコインロッカーもあるので、そこまで結構出し入れ等便利でした。
また次回行ける日を楽しみにしています！

The lady was wearing a red shirt but the website says she will be wearing white and purple. She helped us get to the baggage claim area and was very nice.

My daughter participated in the encounter while I observed, and she was very happy. The dolphins were surprisingly smart. We had a fun day watching the sea lion and dolphin shows in the park.

娘がエンカウンターに参加して私は見学、娘はとても喜んでいました。
イルカはお利口さんでびっくり。
園内で、アシカやイルカのショーを見たり、楽しい一日でした。

It was a tour that can only be described as a hit! What made it a hit... was that we got to play with sea turtles for about 30 minutes☆

Normally, you might hear comments like "the white sandbar was beautiful" or "I got to see sea turtles," but surprisingly, the sea turtles came to play with our boat. According to the captain, he once rescued a sea turtle that got caught on a fishing hook, and since then, every time he takes the boat out, they come to visit. In fact, among about 20 people in the water, one turtle was the first to rub its head against the captain, as if asking to be petted. There are state laws regarding this, but it felt just like having a pet. (By the way, the turtle's name is Maurice.)

Thanks to that, I was able to take tons of photos and videos with my waterproof camera♪ I even got a picture of us swimming together!

As for the sandbar, it was about knee-deep, so it wasn't quite like the pictures in the package, but to be honest, I wasn't too interested in a sandbar without any creatures. If you're someone who wants to fully enjoy the "Wow, it's beautiful!" experience, I recommend checking the depth online thoroughly. (I had looked it up too, but I was okay with it.)

During snorkeling, there was a small sea turtle resting, and when I stared at it, it slowly woke up and came over to play with the boat♪ Big sea turtles, small sea turtles—this tour left me with an intense and wonderful impression of "playing with sea turtles"♪

The BBQ was, of course, delicious, and if I ever get the chance to go again, I would want to request the captain to bring Maurice along for a visit (laughs).

I absolutely recommend this tour! If you look at the photos, I think everyone will want to go on this tour☆ (I turned the photos to landscape because they were cut off in portrait mode.)

当たりとしかいいようのないツアーでした！
何が当たりか・・・それは海亀と30分くらい遊べたことです☆

通常なら「白いサンドバーが綺麗だった」「海亀に会えた」という感想が
多いでしょうが、なんと海亀が自分たちの船に遊びに来てくれました。
キャプテンに話を聞いたところ、浦島太郎のごとく、釣り針にひっかかった
海亀を助けたところ、毎回そのキャプテンが船を出すと、寄ってくるように
なった、とこのこと。
実際、20人くらいが海にいる中で、真っ先にキャプテンに頭をこすりつけて、
まるで撫でてくれと言ってるばかりのスキンシップをしてました。
州の法律もありますが、まるでペットです。（ちなみに亀の名前はモーリス）

そのおかげで、防水カメラで写真・動画撮りまくりです♪
一緒に泳いでる写真も撮れました！

肝心のサンドバーは膝くらいの深さだったので、パッケージ写真のようにはいきませんが、正直♂なので、生き物のいないサンドバーに興味がなく、
「わぁ～綺麗！」を満喫したい方は、しっかりネットで深さを調べことをお勧めします。（自分も調べた上でしたが、まいっかって気持ちだったので）

シュノーケリングでも休憩中の小さな海亀が居て、その子もじ～っと見てたら、
のそ～っと起きて、船の方まで遊びに来てくれました♪
大きな海亀、小さな海亀、自分の中では「海亀と戯れる」ツアーという
強烈で最高の印象となりました♪

BBQももちろんおいしく、もしもう一度行く機会があった場合は、
海亀のモーリスが遊びに来てもらうために、船長を指定したいくらいです（笑）

絶対にお勧めのツアーです！
写真を見ていただければ、誰もが行きたくなるツアーだと思います☆
（写真が縦向きだと切れてしまうので、横向きにしました）

My friend and I decided to check this out as we were looking for something to do for the night. I have been to many Luau's before so I wasn't expecting anything amazing, but I turned out to be very wrong. the Chief was extremely funny throughout the whole night and he was also very interactive with the crowd. They had some fun activities before the Luau as well so that was fun. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great night with great people! Hands down the best Luau I have done.

First, Veltra was very easy to work with and very accommodating. I had to change the date of my excursion 3 times due to conflict involving the homecoming of a Navy vessel my son serves on. Once the date was locked in and we were able to visit the site it was a flawless experience. Ticket processing was easy and the museums were amazing. I will book through Veltra again. During summer just remember to arrive early to get the USS Arizona Memirial tickets since they do run out. It is a lot to accomplish in one day. We started at 7:45 and ended around 4:00pm.

I gave an ok/average rating because this was an expensive excursion and the snorkeling was not up to par. The staff was incredible---- friendly, fun and courteous, but this seemed to be a boat ride geared toward hanging out and drinking on the boat rather than seeing awesome fish, coral reefs, etc. We had 2 snorkel stops and fish/turtles were average. But the crew made sure we saw dolphins from the boat, which was cool.

As far as snorkeling, it was nothing too interesting especially because my husband and I have done amazing snorkeling in Maui and Bora Bora. If you want to drink and relax for an afternoon, this is a top choice. But, a little too expensive for what you get if you are really into snorkeling and seeing different kinds of underwater life.

After arriving in Hawaii, I was looking forward to snorkeling three hours later. However, my bag that I had checked in at the hotel didn't arrive! I confirmed with the travel agency where I checked my bag, but they said it would take time. If they had informed me in advance, I would have brought it myself... I thought about that as the meeting time was approaching.

I had planned to come to Hawaii with my family, but my child was unwell, so I ended up coming alone. I wanted to take pictures for my child, who was looking forward to seeing sea turtles, but since my bag didn't arrive, I had to give up on participating... I was wondering what I had come here for!

However, thanks to the warm consideration from VELTRA and the tour company, I was able to reschedule and participate.

This was truly moving! Really! I thought I would have to cancel since I wouldn't make it to the tour that day. The tour was really enjoyable and exceeded my expectations; it went by in no time. Everyone was kind and considerate to me, a solo participant, and I am grateful. Next time, I will definitely participate with my family. I sincerely thank you. Thank you very much.

ハワイに到着し３時間後にシュノーケルだ！そう思い楽しみにしていましたが・・・
ホテルの部屋に預けていたカバンが来ない！
鞄を預けた某旅行会社に確認したが時間がかかるとのこと、事前に話していてくれれば自分で持って行ったのに・・・そう考えるも集合時間が押し迫り。
こりゃー駄目だなと諦め間に合わない旨を電話しました。


今回のハワイは家族で来る予定でしたが子供の体調が悪く私だけになりました。
ウミガメを楽しみにしていた子供のために何とか写真を撮ろうと思っていましたがカバンが来ず参加できないため諦めの私・・・
いったい何しに来たんだろうと思っていましたが！
ＶＥＬＴＲＡさんとツアー施行会社さんの心温まるご配慮で日をずらして参加させて頂くことが出来ました。

これはねー、涙ものですよ！本当に！
実際、当日のツアーには間に合わなかったのでキャンセルだなって思っていましたから。
ツアーは本当に楽しく期待通りであっという間でした。
皆さん優しく一人参加の私に気配りをして頂き感謝。
次は家族で絶対に参加させて頂きます。
心より感謝申し上げます。
本当にありがとうございました。

Suddenly, a shallow area appeared in the middle of the ocean. I had never experienced anything like this, so I was really moved. It was fun to see the turtles up close.

海の真ん中にいきなり浅瀬が現れます。こんな経験したことなかったのですごく感動しました。かめも近くでみれて楽しかった。

We were able to see many fishes and even two turtles. I hadn't realized that the duration of the submarine ride would be so short though(40 minutes).

First, when I was looking at the tour, I was a little hesitant to go for this as the fare is not casual to take my parents, my 3-year-old son, husband, and me. In the end, I am really proud of myself for deciding to join the tour.

It was just breathtaking: blue sky, emerald ocean, and white sand.

We came to Hawaii for our honeymoon. Since we were in Hawaii, we had to go to the sandbar! So, we booked a tour with the popular Captain Bruce's. On the day of the tour, we encountered bad weather... Rain clouds stretched from the mountains to the sea. However, the tour staff encouraged us, saying, "It will surely clear up!"

On the day I participated, the boat was almost full, and it was all Japanese guests. There were two boats operating, so we were assigned to one when boarding. For safety, we had to go barefoot on the boat. Once we headed offshore, the boat stopped near the sandbar. From there, we entered the water and walked towards the sandbar. Since we walked over coral remains, sand, and small stones, reef shoes are a must! Most people didn’t bring them, so they walked slowly, looking like it hurt. It’s quite a walk from the boat to the sandbar.

That day, the water level didn’t drop enough for the sand to be exposed. Plus, it was drizzling and cold, so everyone was crouching in the water. After about 40 minutes, the rain clouds cleared, and we finally got to take some photos. After returning to the boat, we had lunch. There were sandwiches and salads, and they were very delicious. After that, we enjoyed snorkeling for about 30 minutes. Although the weather wasn’t great, we had a lot of fun.

新婚旅行でハワイに来ました。
せっかくハワイに来たので、サンドバーは行かなくては！！
ということで、人気のキャプテンブルースのツアーを申込みました。
当日はなんと悪天候・・・。山から海にかけて雨雲が・・・。
でも、ツアーのスタッフさんが「きっと晴れる！」と励ましてくれました。
私の参加日はほぼ満員。もちろん日本人のみ。２隻船がでているので、乗船の際に割り当ててくれました。
船の上は安全の為はだしになります。沖合に出るとサンドバー近くで船を停めます。
そこからは海に入って歩いてサンドバーを目指します。サンゴの死骸や砂、小石の上を
歩くのでリーフシューズは必須です！ほとんどの人は持ってきてなかったので、痛そうにゆっくり歩いていました。船からサンドバーまでけっこう歩きます。
その日はサンドバーは砂が出るほどは水位が下がらなかったです。
しかも小雨で寒く、みんなしゃがんで海に浸かっていました。
40分くらいして雨雲が晴れ、やっと写真を撮れました。
船に戻ってからランチでした。サンドイッチやサラダなどがあり、とても美味しかったです。
そのあとはシュノーケリングを30分程楽しみました。
お天気には恵まれませんでしたが、とても楽しかったです。

it was a really great day! staff was really friendly and we saw a lot! had great day on the ocean. i would totally do it again! I also enjoyed the pictures taken a lot! great pictures!
This was an incredible day! Do it! ;)

Eccellente! Lovely dining atmosphere, superb food presentation and attentive wait staff.
Couple of my friends and I ordered the Bolognese Alla "Siciliana" and the Frutti Di Mare entrees, both dishes were really good. Bolognese is what you would want to order if your not familiar with ordering Italian food. Restaurant was a 2 minute walk from my hotel (stayed at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel) so it was very convenient. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone back at home on the East coast!

Ciao Baby!

xoxo

친구의 도움으로 예약을 해서 가게 됐는데
정말 멋진 시간이였다!!
귀여운 돌고래와 멋진 석양.... 그리고 친절한 직원들까지
하나 더! 함께 탄 사람들도 참 유쾌했다
다만 우리가 영어에 약해 어울리지 못했다는
점이 참 아쉽다
다음 기회에 또 다시 이용하리라

The dolphins were really cute, and I'm glad I did it!
But it was a bit expensive...
I thought it was quite a rip-off to pay $56 for just five photos.

イルカとっても可愛くて、やってよかったです！
でも、少し高いかな…
写真も5枚で56ドルって…結構ボッタクリだなと思いました。
