Oahu
My husband and I surprised my parents with a lei greeting in the airport upon our arrival in Honolulu, Oahu. Our greeter was wonderful and the leis were beautiful! I especially loved the leis the guys are wearing, they were so unique. Perfect start to any Hawaiian vacation!
The show was very good, the food not so much especially for the price. A lot of walking. A long drive from Waikiki in traffic.
Our family spent over $1,900 for a good show, but barely adequate food. I would try somewhere else
Everytime we come to Oahu we book this trip. It never disappoints. The staff always friendly and entertaining while keeping you safe while navigating the boat! Delicious hamburgers bbq’s on the back of the boat. A perfect day every time!
You can enter the Missouri, the Aviation Museum, and the Submarine Museum smoothly. At the Aviation Museum and the Submarine Museum, you can borrow audio guides for free, so even those who are not confident in their English can feel at ease.
ミズーリ号、航空博物館、潜水艦博物館にスムーズに入場できます。航空博物館と潜水艦博物館では無料でオーディオガイドを借りることができますので英語が苦手な方でも安心です。
If you want to take your time, I think it's better to split it into two days. Doing it in one day can be quite exhausting.
じっくり見たいようでしたら2日に分けるのがよいと思います。1日だと結構体力を使います。

I have never enjoyed so many slides in one day, so it was really fun. Since it was a weekday, there were mostly tourists, so we didn't have to wait much and could enjoy ourselves!
One thing that concerned me was that the bus arrived 20 minutes late at the pickup location, and I couldn't get through on the phone during that time. It would be reassuring to receive an email if there are delays.
これだけのスライダーを１日で堪能したことないので面白かったです。
平日だったのもあったのかほぼ観光客の人だけだったので待ち時間はほぼなく楽しめました！
気になったことはピックアップ場所でバスが２０分遅れで到着だったので途中電話をしても繋がらなかったので遅れるならメールでもあると安心して待てます。
Since the closing time is early and there are some slides that cannot be experienced on the day, I recommend going early if there are slides you want to try!
閉園時間が早いのと当日体験できないスライダーもあるため滑りたいスライダーがあるなら早目にいくことをお勧めします！

Captain Bobs was amazing! I went with my husband and 2 children! We all had so much fun!
It was just a transportation contract, so there wasn't much to it. Perhaps due to the busy season and the shuttle service, there were some delays. While it seemed that others weren't giving tips, when I gave one, they were very pleased.
送迎だけの契約でしたので特に何もありません。
繁忙期でピストン運行だったからか遅れがちでした。
他の方々はチップを渡している気配なかったところ、お渡ししたら
大層喜んでいただきました。
Diamond Head is now reservation-only, and I recommend this plan if you only need transportation. Although we didn't make it in time for the sunrise, we still had a great time.
ダイアモンドヘッドは予約制になり、それも含めて送迎だけなら
このプランはおすすめします。

When people hear "sandbar," they might imagine a place where you can walk right across to the land! However, that's not always the case as it depends on the tides. Be sure to check the tide schedule and choose a day with low tide! This time, the shallowest part was about between my ankles and knees, but that was more than enough!
After all, the view is something you can't see anywhere in Japan! And even better, this tour includes delicious freshly grilled patties for hamburgers! You can play at the sandbar, eat hamburgers, watch sea turtles (and sometimes manta rays or dolphins!), and then go snorkeling afterward!
With so much fun packed into this experience, it would be a shame not to participate at least once! This was my third time joining, and I still felt the same excitement!
P.S. I later found out that the guide who explained everything in such a fun and energetic way (and spoke quickly, haha) was a friend of a friend of mine! Thank you!
サンドバー！と聞いてみんながイメージするのは、そのまま歩ける！陸地になってる！！
と言う感じかな！？それは潮の満ち干きなどに影響されるから常にそうなる訳ではない。潮の満ち干きを調べてそれなりに干潮の日を選ぼう！今回は1番浅い所で、足首と膝の間ぐらいだったかな？それでも十分なんです！
だって、見渡す限り日本では見れない景色なんだよ！ そして、更に良いのは、このツアーは、美味しい焼きたてパテのハンバーガーが食べれるってこと！サンドバーで遊んで、ハンバーガー食べて、ウミガメウオッチして(マンタも見れる時もあるし、イルカだって！)、そのあとシュノーケルも出来る！
こんなに楽しい事が詰め込まれてるから一度参加してみないともったいない！
私は今回で3回目の参加ですが、相変わらずの楽しさを感じれました！！
p.s 後で知りましたが、今回の説明などすんごく楽しく(早口でw)、元気にガイドして下さった方は、私の友人の友人でした☺️✨
ありがとうございました！
Definitely give it a try at least once! Just keep in mind that the weather in Kaneo isn't always sunny, so it might rain!
とにかく一度参加してみて！
ただ、カネオへは天気が常に快晴ではないので、雨降るかも！？って事だけは知っておいてね！

There are tours for all of Pearl Harbor, but there are no standalone tours just for the Aviation Museum. You have to go directly to the site, but this time I was helped by getting tickets that couldn't be obtained from the official page.
パールハーバーの全部ツアーはあるが航空博物館だけというか3つの単独ツアーがない中現地へは直接行かなければ行けませんが今回は公式ページでは取れないチケットを取ってもらい助かりました
Information about the HOLO card is essential. It's not that difficult.
Since it's public transportation, it's exciting to see various local people getting on.

Our dinner cruise was nothing short of exceptional. The vessel was spacious, ensuring a smooth, comfortable ride without any hint of seasickness. Boarding and disembarking were seamless, and despite the ship’s size, the atmosphere felt intimate rather than crowded. The meal was beautifully prepared and flavorful, complemented by lively entertainment. Our server’s vibrant energy and warmth elevated the entire experience. The true magic, however, unfolded on deck—watching Waikiki’s shimmering skyline from the water as fireworks lit up the night sky. An unforgettable evening I would gladly repeat.
I was finally able to visit Manoa Falls, a long-time dream of mine. I had wanted to go for a while, but my companions often had other places they wanted to visit, or it was difficult to get around since I couldn't drive. This time, by joining a tour with Nature & You, I was finally able to make it happen. The two guides were very kind and I am very grateful. The hike to Manoa Falls was manageable even for someone in their 60s like me, and I enjoyed it comfortably even as a solo participant.
長年の夢が叶ってマノアの滝に行けました。
以前から行ってみたかったのですが、その時々の同行者には他に行きたいところがあったり、車の運転ができないので移動が難しかったりで、なかなか実現することができませんでした。
今回、ネイチャー＆ユーさんのツアーに参加することで、ようやく行くことが出来ました。
ガイドのお二人にはとても親切にしていただきました。感謝感謝です。
マノアの滝へのハイキングは60代の私でも可能でしたし、一人での参加でも快適に愉しめました。
The round trip to Manoa Falls is muddy due to the rain, and mud splashes up. I have my lunch sandwich on the grass next to the parking lot at Tantalus Lookout Park, but if I take my time eating, I won
マノアの滝往復の道は雨でぬかるんで、泥が跳ね上がります。お昼のサンドイッチをタンタラスの丘の公園の駐車場脇の芝生でいただくのですが、ゆっくり食べていると、その後の公園展望台で過ごす時間がなくなります。
Aloha, thank you very much for participating in our tour and for your heartwarming review. We are truly delighted that you were able to fulfill your long-time dream of visiting Manoa Falls with our tour. We also appreciate your kind words about our guide. Your feedback that even those in their 60s were able to enjoy the hike safely will be very valuable information for those considering joining in the future.
Thank you for your specific and practical opinions regarding the muddy paths to Manoa Falls and the timing for lunch breaks and viewing. We will take your suggestions into account for future tour operations.
If you were able to create wonderful memories in the natural beauty of Hawaii, that is the most important thing. We all sincerely look forward to the day we can meet again.
Thank you very much!

The morning gathering was early, so my 5-year-old child looked sleepy the whole time, but when the dolphins appeared, he was completely absorbed in watching them in the water. I was a bit anxious about managing our valuables, but I was able to take care of them myself at the foot of the boat, so there was really no need to worry. There were times when Japanese speakers were available, so we had no language barriers, and the English staff were friendly, making it a fun experience. I recommend signing up for the photo package (up to 4 people for $79) because you won't need to bring a camera, and they will even take underwater photos for you. It was nice to have a credit card and some cash for tips. It might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication just in case. Our family, both adults and children, were fine, but I saw a few people who were really struggling with seasickness. Overall, it was a great experience that the kids enjoyed very much.
朝集合が早かったので、5歳の子供は終始眠そうでしたが、イルカが見えると夢中で海の中を見ていました。
貴重品の管理が不安でしたが、船の足元に自分で管理で、特に心配する必要もなかったです。
日本語が話せる方がいる時間帯だったので、言葉面でも不自由なく、英語スタッフの方も気さくで楽しく過ごせました。
フォトパッケージ(4人まで79ドル)を申し込めば、カメラを持っていく必要もなく、水中の写真まで撮ってくれるのでおすすめです。
クレカとチップ分の現金があれば良い感じでした。
酔い止めは念のため飲んでおいたほうがいいかと。
我が家は大人も子供も飲んで平気でしたが、数名凄まじい勢いで戻してる方がいて辛そうでした。
総合的に子供も楽しめ、とても良かったです。
Aloha, thank you very much for participating in the tour and for taking the time to provide such a thoughtful review. We were delighted to hear that your child was captivated by the dolphins despite the early morning gathering.
We also sincerely appreciate the detailed information you provided, which will be helpful for future participants regarding the photo package, valuables management, language support, what to bring, and advice on motion sickness.
If this became one of the enjoyable memories of your family's trip to Hawaii, it brings us the greatest joy. We all look forward to the opportunity to meet you again when you visit Hawaii.
Thank you once again!

We had a great time - knowledgeable staff dedicated to safety; beautiful spot for snorkeling and having fun! The lunch was delicious
I didn't have a place or time to change, but it was a very fun day. The dive from the boat was great. It might be good to save some energy for snorkeling.
着替える場所と時間はなかったけど、非常に楽しい1日でした。船からのダイブも良かった。シュノーケルの体力を残しておくといいかな。

There were various pools, slides, and dynamic attractions, and it was so much fun. The sun was intense, and I got sunburned. My body was covered with a rash guard, but since my face got wet, I think the sunscreen came off. My feet, which were in sandals, also got quite sunburned.
When going to the attractions, I took off my sandals and lined up. Many people left their sandals at the starting point. Once barefoot, the ground was so hot that it felt like I might get burned. But that too is a fun memory.
I didn't use a locker for my belongings. There were many chairs lined up near the wave pool, and I claimed a spot there to leave my things. (I carried my phone and valuables in a waterproof case.)
It was so much fun that I played without even having lunch!
いろんなプールや滑り台，ダイナミックなアトラクションがあって，とっても楽しかったです。
日差しがきつくて，日焼けもしました。体はラッシュガードでおおわれていましたが，顔は濡れてしまうので，日焼け止めもとれてしまうと思います。サンダルを履いていた足もしっかり日焼けしてしまいました。
アトラクションに行くときは，サンダルを脱いで並びます。たくさんの方が出発地点などに，サンダルを置いていきます。裸足になると，地面が熱くて，火傷しそうなくらいでした。でも，それも楽しい思い出の１ページです。
荷物はロッカーには預けませんでした。波のプールの近くにたくさんイスが並べてあり，そこで拠点となる場所取りをして，荷物も置いておきました。（携帯電話や貴重品は防水ケースに入れて持ち歩いていました。）
楽しすぎて，お昼ご飯も食べずに，遊びました！

It was very hot, but I had a great time. It seemed that there were few staff members who could provide guidance in Japanese at Sea Life Park, but there was one male staff member who was fluent in Japanese. He explained things to us beforehand and stayed nearby to assist during the experience, which was reassuring. The program with the dolphins was a valuable experience that you can't have in Japan.
When I got off the shuttle bus on the way there, I was anxious because there was no information about the return pick-up time; we were just dropped off. While I was at the Sea Life Park reception, the staff there informed me that the bus would depart at 2 PM.
とても暑かったですが，楽しかったです。
シーライフパークには日本語で案内できる方は少ないようでしたが，日本語が堪能な男性スタッフが一人いらっしゃって，事前に説明してくださり，体験している間も近くにいて補助してくださったので，心強かったです。
イルカとのプログラムは日本ではできない貴重な体験でした。
行きの送迎バスを降りたとき，帰りのお迎えの時間もこれからどうするかの何の案内もなく，ただおろされただけだったので，不安でした。わからないまま，シーライフパークの受付を行っていたら，受付の方から14時にバスが出発すると告げられました。
During the experience, I didn't wear a hat. I recommend taking proper sun protection measures. There is no roof over the area where you watch the dolphin show. I was using an umbrella until it started
体験中は帽子をかぶりませんでいした。
日焼け対策をしっかりすることをお勧めします。

The tour wasn't bad, but I was disappointed because the sandbar was "not what I expected‼️" I thought we would be able to land on a sandy beach, but there was none at all... We only stood in shallow water. Even though I could have tolerated water up to my ankles, it was actually deep enough to submerge me to my chest, so it felt like I was dropped into the sea 😭 I wanted to walk on the sandy beach, and to be more specific, I wanted to sit on the beach and eat a hamburger 💧 Eating a hamburger on a crowded boat... 💧 I can't even remember if it was delicious because I was so concerned about my surroundings.
ツアーは悪くは無いのですが、サンドバーが「思ってたんと違う‼️」とガッカリしました。砂の浜に上陸出来ると思っていたけど、砂の浜は皆無で、、、
浅瀬に立っただけでした。浅瀬といっても足首くらいの水なら我慢出来たけど、胸までゆうに浸かる海の中でしたので、海の中に落とされた感じです😭
砂浜で歩きたかったし、もっと言えば砂浜に座ってハンバーガー食べたかった💧
ぎゅうぎゅうづめの船の上でハンバーガー、、、💧周りが気になって美味しかったのかどうかも思い出せませんー

A group of three close friends for 40 years. We had always wanted to visit Hawaii together, and this year, we celebrated our 60th birthdays and made that dream come true! We were moved by the beauty of Waikiki from the summit of Diamond Head. The journey to the top was not as tough as we expected, and even after turning 60, we were able to enjoy the scenery while climbing.

On July 29, there was a tsunami warning, and on July 30, the warning was lifted. However, on the morning of July 30, I received an email about the cancellation of the Hanauma Bay snorkeling shuttle. I imagine the tour company needed to gather information, but the details were unclear.
Since I had registered my mobile number at the time of booking, I received the cancellation email one hour prior, but it came on the morning of the day itself. We discussed as a family that it was understandable given it was the day after the tsunami warning.
After that, I took a chance and exchanged messages with the contact person via SMS, and I found out that there were three spots available for snorkeling at Hanauma Bay the next day, July 31. Becca from Kaimana Tours assisted us. Since all the other tour guests were conversing in English, I felt hesitant to express my gratitude in my limited English. I couldn't confirm if the person who provided the shuttle service that day was Becca. I appreciate Becca's assistance and would be grateful if you could convey my thanks.
7月29日に津波警報があり、7月30日は警報解除になりましたが、7月30日午前のハナウマ湾のシューノーケル送迎の中止のメールが当日朝きました。ツアー会社は情報収集する必要があったと想像していますが、詳細は不明でした。
予約時にスマホ番号登録しているので1時間前ですが当日朝に中止メールが来ました。津波警報の翌日でしたので仕方がないねと家族で話していました。
その後にダメ元で担当者様の連絡先にショートメールでやりとりを行ったところ、翌日の7月31日に空き枠が3名分あるとのことで翌日にハナウマ湾シュノーケリングができました。
Kaimana ToursのBecca様に担当していただきました。他のツアー客が全員、英語で会話していたので、拙い英語に気が引けてお礼を伝えることが出来ませんでした。当日の送迎していただいた方がBecca様かも確認できませんでした。Becca様のご対応に感謝しています。有り難うございましたと伝えていただけたら幸いです。

This time, I went to Hawaii with my eldest son and his child. I searched online for places in Japan that I could visit with my 4-year-old grandchild and decided that Wet 'n' Wild would be the best choice. After that, I looked for various tours and ultimately chose Veltra. I was relieved to find out that we could board the bus about 10 minutes before the scheduled departure, even though I initially thought we would be taking a large dedicated bus. It was also great that we could board the bus about 10 minutes before the return trip. Safety and security are absolute requirements when traveling abroad, so I reaffirmed that Veltra meets those standards.
今回は長男親子と一緒にハワイへ。日本で孫(4歳)と一緒に行ける所をネットで検索し、ウェットアンドワイルドが一番良いかなと選択。その後、色々なツアーを検索し最終ベルトラに。ツアーでは大型専用バスでの往復と思いきや、当日小型バスで待合せ場所に約10分前にバスに搭乗出来て安心しました。帰路も約10分前にバス搭乗出来て良かったです。
安心と安全は海外では絶対条件に成りますのでベルトラは適応していると再認識しました。
Please prioritize safety and security when selecting a tour.

On our last night in Hawaii, we dined here. This was our second visit, having been here during our previous trip to Hawaii as well. The Italian course was just the right amount for us, and we enjoyed it very much. That's why we came back for a second time. I was glad that we were able to sit outside as I had requested the day before. The staff were all very nice, and we had a wonderful time.

Captain Bob’s Sandbar Snorkeling Tour was hands down one of the highlights of our trip to Oahu! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. The crew was absolutely amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was safe while still having a blast. They brought such a fun and laid-back energy to the whole day.
The sandbar was stunning, with crystal-clear water and plenty of time to explore, relax, and take photos. The snorkeling was also fantastic—we saw colorful fish and even a sea turtle!
And let me tell you about the food! The BBQ lunch was delicious, fresh, and just what we needed after swimming and snorkeling. Everything was well-organized and the atmosphere on the boat was so much fun.
I highly, highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Oahu. Whether you’re with family, friends, or traveling solo, this is an experience you don’t want to miss. Mahalo to Captain Bob’s crew for an amazing day!
This excursion was absolutely incredible! We got to hang out on the Kaneohe sandbar for a while. Some people played volleyball, some swam and tested out snorkel gear. We go to just relax and enjoy this amazing location. There were sea turtles and rays when we first got there. The crew grilled up some yummy burgers while we played. We then got back on the boat looking for green sea turtles. So many! We snorkeled around a reef and saw so many incredible fish. This was one of my favorite adventures that we did in Oahu and could not have been in a more beautiful location.
We went out on a very windy day, which did not do anyone any favors. Lots of sick tourists! But that could not be helped as the captain doesn't control the weather. The fishing was awesome! Every person caught a person, and the crew fileted one for us to take home. Lots of varieties of fish to be caught, and were caught.
Take you motion sickness pills! LOL
We were really lucky with our tour because Kilauea started erupting in the morning of our tour day and we had a helicopter tour at 9:00 AM. We were able to see unbelievable sights from the helicopter as we were flying over the caldera.
The downside of it was that everyone else also knew about the eruption and wanted to get to the volcano park so we were stuck in the traffic for hours with others queuing to get into the park. This affected slightly the schedule of our tour, but we still managed to see the main things, and as I had visited the park before, it didn't matter so much to me. The thing I hoped and expected from the tour most was seeing lava spouting up in the air, and that came true!
Just as a reminder, you don't always get to see lava flowing, but the sights overall are still amazing and definitely worth the trip.
Fantastic experience! Delivered on everything during this trip! Kids had a blast and we saw turtles, dolphins, octopus, and many fish. Would do it every time that I am here!
Mahalo nui loa for your amazing review!
We truly appreciate you and your family joining our Dolphin Watching tour and ocean activities. It makes us so happy to hear that you had a fantastic time and got to see dolphins, turtles, an octopus, and so many beautiful fish—what an incredible day on the water!
We're especially glad your kids had a blast—it means the world to us when families create special memories together out on the ocean.
We would be honored to welcome you back on board anytime you're in town again. Until then, warmest aloha from all of us!
**Review**
The round-trip transportation to Hanauma Bay and the rental of snorkeling gear made it easy to enjoy snorkeling with minimal luggage! Even in shallow areas where you can stand, there were fish as big as those in Thailand swimming around, allowing beginners to see many fish, which was a lot of fun. The time spent at Hanauma Bay was also sufficient.
The driver spoke English, but he spoke slowly and used simple language, making it easy to understand. He was friendly during the ride, and I felt the warmth and kindness of the people of Hawaii! It was truly a wonderful experience that will remain a lifelong memory.
I also appreciated that I could enter Hanauma Bay without worrying about the reservation scramble that individuals have to deal with.
**Points for Improvement**
The bus was scheduled to gather at 5:40, but it actually arrived at exactly 6:00. Since there were elderly passengers on the same bus, I understand that delays can happen.
However, there were two emergency contact numbers provided in case of delays, but neither of them was reachable. Both just had an automated message saying, "The office opens at 8 AM, so please call back after that." I waited for 20 minutes and was really starting to feel anxious about whether to leave. I would like to see the emergency contacts made more reliable.
The driver was a good person, and because of his kindness and the beauty of Hanauma Bay, I am very satisfied overall, but I deducted one star due to the phone issues.
【感想】
ハナウマ湾への往復の送迎と、シュノーケリングのための道具を貸し出してくれるので、少ない荷物で快適にシュノーケリングが楽しめました！
海の中で足がつくような浅い場所でも、タイくらいの大きさの魚が泳いでおり、初心者でも何匹も魚を見ることが出来て、とても楽しかったです。
ハナウマベイに滞在できる時間も十分でした。
ドライバーさんも英語で話しますが、ゆっくり目に話してくれたり、簡単な英語で伝えてくれるので理解しやすかったです。
往復の車内でもフレンドリーに話してくださり、ハワイの人の温かさや親切さを感じました！
一生の思い出に残る、本当に良い経験が出来ました。
個人でハナウマ湾に入る時に申し込まなければいけない、ハナウマ湾入場の予約争奪戦を気にせずに確実に入場出来るという点も、安心でした。
【改善して頂きたい点】
バスの集合時刻は5:40集合となっていましたが、実際にバスが到着したのは6:00ちょうどでした。
同じバスのお客さんに高齢の方もいらっしゃったので、到着時間が遅れた事自体は仕方ないと思っています。
ただし、バスの到着が遅れた際に連絡する緊急連絡先のような電話番号が２個案内されていましたが、どちらも繋がりませんでした。
どちらも自動音声で、「事務所のオープンは8時だから、それ以降に電話して下さい」と言う英語の音声が流れるだけでした。
20分待って、本当にもう帰ろうかと思うくらい不安でした。緊急連絡先はしっかり繋がるようにして頂きたいです。
ドライバーさんは良い人でしたので、ドライバーさんの人の良さとハナウマベイの素晴らしさで、総合評価としてはとても満足ですが、電話が繋がらなかったことで星を-1させて頂きました。
I thought the entrance to Hanauma Bay was first thing in the morning, but the time was determined by the group on the bus I took, and we were informed of the entrance start time on-site that day. Mine
ハナウマ湾の入場は朝一番なのかな、と思っていましたが、乗ってきたバスのグループ別に時間が決まっており、当日現地で入場開始時間を伝えられる形でした。私は7:20でした。

Unfortunately, there was a power line issue (a nearby utility pole fire), and the main attractions were unavailable. I couldn't participate in many attractions... (๑•́︿•̀๑)
However, I really enjoyed the wave pool!
I opted for the lunch package, so it was great to be able to buy lunch without waiting in line during the lunch hour.
The lunch included steak, chicken steak, French fries, salad, fruit, and rice in a buffet style. It was nice that I could have seconds.
It would have been even better if there were a few more options.
タイミング悪く…送電線トラブル（近くで電柱の家事）があり、メインどころのアトラクションが使えないトラブルが発生。あまりアトラクションには参加できず…(๑•́︿•̀๑)
ですが波のプールはめっちゃ楽しめました！
ランチ付きにしたので、お昼時に並ばずに買えて良かったです。
ランチはステーキ、チキンステーキ、フライドポテト、サラダ、フルーツ、ライス…とビュッフェ形式でした。おかわりもできるので、よかったです。
もう少し種類があれば尚よしかな。
