My wife and I attended this Luau for our Honeymoon. The entertainment and hospitatity were excellent. The food was ok. My wife, who was promised a gluten free option, was not happy because she was limited on what she could eat. Other than that, it was a very goood time for the both of us.

The luau in Ko Olina was amazing. We have 3-1/2 & 1-1/2 year old girls and even they loved the show especially the fire at the end. We sat in the VIP area and would recommend attending!

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.

Best thing we did all week while on Oahu!!! Our crew put us directly in the path of the spinner dolphins twice. They calmly swam beneath us and carried onward. Crew showed high respect to the wildlife at all times.
Awesome! Your enthusiastic satisfaction is what we strive for! It takes not only a great crew to accomplish these magic moments but also great customers that can share the respect and love of the ocean to make the magic happen. Thanks for joining us! Mahalo Nui loa.

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

Overall it was a nice show. The majority of the time there is spent doing crafts or browsing the many shops with things for sale, so the show really is only a small part of the event. The food was pretty good; however, our food was cold due to the order that they served it. Being as we had the highest priced VIP package you would have thought we would have been served first; nope. We were dead last and had cold food, although the flavor was still very good. I think it is worth doing while visiting the island, I would just not suggest the expensive packages as there is no real benefit.

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!

We played a lot from 10:30 AM until closing time in the evening with the kids. I think the family lockers are sufficient.
Starting around noon, the attractions gradually get crowded, so I recommend conquering the slides first thing in the morning! Also, you might be tempted to take off your sandals and go up to the top of the slide, but the concrete gets extremely hot, and it can burn the soles of your feet, so it's fine to keep your sandals on. (Everyone either held them or slid down while wearing them.)
By early afternoon, it starts to get really crowded, and there can be lines for the attractions. We took that opportunity to have lunch and take a little break. When it was crowded, we played in the lazy river right next to the entrance.
Overall, I didn't get the impression that it was extremely spacious, but on the contrary, I enjoyed not having to walk around too much. I would love for them to spend the whole day playing!
By the way, my child is 13 years old, and this age was just right for the thrill of the slides. There are quite a few that younger kids might not be able to handle, as they are pretty thrilling (maybe too much?).
子供と一緒に、朝の10時半から夕方の閉園までたっぷり遊びました。ロッカーはファミリー用のもので十分だと思います。
昼頃から徐々にアトラクションが混雑していくので、まずは朝イチで続々と滑り台を制覇していくのがオススメ! また、ついサンダルを脱いで滑り台のてっぺんまで行ってしまいそうになりますが、コンクリがものすごく熱くなって足の裏がやけどしそうになってしまうので、サンダルは履いたままでOKです。(皆さん手に持ってか、履いたまま滑っていました)
昼過ぎになると、一気に混み始めてアトラクションも行列ができたりします。うちは、そのタイミングでお昼を食べてちょっと休憩しました。また、混んでいるときは、入口からすぐ横にある流れるプールで遊んでいました。
全体的に、ものすごく広い!という印象は受けませんでしたが、逆にいろいろ歩き回らなくてよかったので楽しめました。一日たっぷり使って遊んでもらいたいです!
ちなみにうちは子供が13歳ですが、滑り台の怖さ的には一番ぴったりの年頃でした。小さいお子さんはできないような、スリリング(すぎる?)のがけっこうあります。

Thanks for your feedback. We definitely understand that our reef is hard coral- so not the soft fanning coral you get in warm waters, but we strive to do a great job showcasing what we do have to offer on Oahu. One of the sites is Oahu's second largest living reef, though due to weather/water conditions we can't always go there. Perhaps next time you can join us on our other tour- the Dolphin Snorkel Tour- which offers THREE snorkel sites (not two that the Sail offers) including a chance to snorkel view dolphins in the wild. It sounds like you are seeking more adventure and that is what that tour offers. Adventure! We hope to see you again. Thank you!
