Oahu
Absolutely amazing combination. Scenery and guides were excellent. Bit disappointed in the movie tour as part of sets deteriorated because of passage of time. Also thought you would see more of current sets. Farm Tour was very interesting which also included some movie sets. Lunch was excellent.
Overall great day out and fantastic place that is trying to maintain green friendly eco systems and preserve area for future generations.
Would definitely go again as there were other trips like zip lining which we did not have time to do,
So very glad I booked this excursion.
This was definitely by far one of our best excursions. We were able to see and learn so much about all the different movies filmed at this location. The trips were well timed and spaced apart enough that they did not overlap into one another. The guides were knowledgeable and very accommodating. Lunch was really good with great selections. I feel like a trip to O’ahu is not complete without this excursion. Will definitely recommend this excursion to others visiting Hawai’i.
There are a lot of amazing reviews, but I didn't find it to be that great.
Reason 1: "The boat is too small, and there isn't enough space to change or sit." Since this is a quite profitable tour, I wish they would use a bigger and more functional boat. Even when it starts to rain, if there are many customers, there isn't enough space for everyone to get under the roof.
Reason 2: "They don't lend wetsuits." Since we swim in quite deep water, I think they should provide wetsuits for safety. However, as mentioned earlier, the boat is small and there are no showers. Improvements are needed for both the boat itself and safety management.
The hamburger was similar to Mos Burger. It was tasty, but it felt pretty average.
The bus, like others have mentioned in their reviews, was cold. It would be nice if we could take our time changing on the boat, but the boat's restroom is cramped, making it difficult to change. There are no showers on the boat either.
The time we could swim was not very long. We saw turtles, but there weren't many fish. The sandbar wasn't as heavenly as one might expect, and it wasn't that stunningly beautiful.
Reason 3: The timing is too late. If they departed earlier, I think there would be more fish, but we arrive at the sandbar close to noon, so I believe the timing is too late. By the time we start snorkeling, the sea has already begun to get murky. It would be better to leave around 7 AM.
The guide (?), a Japanese woman, was very kind, but she was in a bikini from start to finish, which made me wonder, "Why?" The foreign female staff member was also in a thong bikini. She has a great figure, but I don't think it's necessary to be in a bikini the whole time (especially on the boat). Is the bikini style part of the service? That must be tough.
ものすごくよい口コミが多いですが、それほどでもなかったです。
その理由1 「船が小さすぎて着替える場所も座る場所も十分ではない」ということ。かなり儲かっているツアーなので、もっとでかくて機能的な船にしてほしい。
雨が降ってきても、客が多いと全員が屋根の下に入れるスペースもない。
理由2「ウェットスーツは貸してくれない」
結構水深の深いところで泳ぐので、安全のためにもウェットスーツを貸してくれるべきだと思う。
だけど、前述のとおり船は小さいし、シャワーもついてない。船自体と安全管理について
の改善が必要。
ハンバーガーは、モスバーガーみたいでした。おいしかったけど、これもふつうかなという感じ。
バスは、他の人の口コミと同じように、寒い。なので、船でゆっくり着替えたりできると良いのですが、船のトイレは狭いので、着替えにくかった。船にはシャワーもついてない。
泳いでられる時間もそんなに長くない。亀はみれたけど、魚もそんなにいなかった。サンドバーも天国といえるほどではなく、そんなに感動的なほどきれいでもない。
その3 時間帯が遅すぎる。
もっと早い時間帯に出発すれば、魚もいるんじゃないかと思うけど、正午近くにサンドバーに着くので、これも時間設定が遅すぎると思う。シュノーケリングするころには、既に海はにごりはじめている。
7時とか出発にすれば良いんじゃないか。
ガイドさん(?)は、日本人の女性がとても親切でしたが、最初から最後までビキニで、「なんでかな?」と思いました。スタッフの外国人の女性もひもパンでした。スタイル良いけど、ずっとビキニでいる必要はないのでは・・・(特に船上)。ビキニスタイルもサービスの一環なのかな? 大変ですね。
These guys have the operation perfected. I recommend. taking the very first shuttle in the morning and sacrificing a little sleep to do so. The payoff will be no one in the bay and everything to yourself for the first 30 to 40 minutes. Even after that, you will still have the crowds beat.
We had such a great time on this snorkeling trip! It was very planned, the crew was polite, accommodating and very friendly and the lunch was delicious. Our whole experience was incredibly enjoyable. Word of advice to the future participants- listen carefully to the instructions before snorkeling and you’ll see a lot under the water. We saw many fish and a turtle. It was amazing!
The hamburger I had for lunch was amazing! I wasn't expecting much, but it was overwhelmingly better than the burgers around here!
ランチに出るハンバーガー最高でした!
期待してなかったけど、その辺のハンバーガーより圧倒的に美味しかった!
I received several emails from Veltra and the operating company informing me of the early morning meeting time, stating "Meet at Honolulu Airport at 5:30." However, the day before, I received a short message saying, "Meet at 5:00!" When I arrived in Honolulu and spoke during the reconfirmation call, I was told it was 5:30, but shortly after, I was told it was 5:00, so I hurriedly called back.
The office was supposed to be available for calls until 14:30, so I planned to confirm at 2:17, but no one answered the phone. With no other options, I decided to leave my hotel in Honolulu at 4:30 to match the earlier meeting time. I thought it was different from the voucher I received, but in the end, it seemed that 5:30 was fine. I suspect there was a typo in the short message, but I wish they had confirmed before sending it. It was very frustrating.
As for the Kauai Island tour, the driver and guide's fun personality allowed all 12 participants to have a great time throughout. Both the sightseeing and lunch exceeded my expectations. We were the only Japanese couple, but there was an international atmosphere with participants from various places. I highly recommend this tour if you're going to Kauai Island!
何度かベルトラさんや催行会社からメールをもらって、早朝の集合時間などのお知らせがあり「5:30にホノルル空港集合」と知らされていたのに、前日になってショートメッセージで、「5:00集合」とのメッセージが!
ホノルルに到着してすぐにリコンファメーションの電話で話した時にも5:30集合と言われたのに、そのあと少しして5:00集合と言われ、慌てて電話しました。
オフィスは14:30まで電話対応OKと書かれていたので、2:17に慌てて確認の電話をしようと思ったら、電話に誰も出なくて、どうしようもないので念のため早めの集合に合わせて、ホノルルのホテルを4時半に出ました。
もらったバウチャーと違うなとは思ってましたが、結論としては、5:30でよかったみたいでした。
多分ショートメッセージにタイプし間違えたのだと思いますが、ちゃんと確認してから送って欲しかったです。
とても困りました。
カウアイ島観光は、ドライバー兼ガイドさんの楽しい人柄に、終始12人の参加者は楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
観光も、お昼ご飯も、期待以上に満足できました。
日本人は私たち夫婦だけでしたが、色々なところから集まったインターナショナルな雰囲気でした。
カウアイ島へ行くならこのツアーがおすすめです♪
It was disappointing that some facilities were closed, but there was a staff member who spoke Japanese and was very kind in assisting us. I had a great time feeding and touching the dolphins; it was a very enjoyable experience. Next time, I would like to participate in a tour to swim with the dolphins when my grandchild is older.
一部施設がクローズだったのが残念でしたが、現地スタッフで日本語が出来る方がいて大変親切に対応して頂きました。
イルカに餌をあげたり触ることも出来、大変楽しい経験が出来ました。
今度は孫も大きくなったらイルカと一緒に泳ぐツアーに参加したいと思います。
It is a memorable day for us, we went to Arizona memorial, bowfin submarine in the morning, we had lunch at the hangers, then visited the battleship. We don’t need to worry about the tickets, shuttle and lunch, all have been arranged well, we have enough time to visit everywhere we like, I highly recommend the trip.
The Polynesian show is very impressive,all the staff on board are nice, because of the weather we didn’t saw the beautiful sunset, but we saw the rainbow. we did not like food, anyhow it is a nice journey !
First of all, we passed Hanauma Bay and stopped at the Lanai Lookout, which was an unexpected bonus that I wouldn't have ever seen, being on a work trip with a very brief window to go out on a Sunday. I'm very grateful to him for a joyful trip, the extra stop (thank you!!!!!), and the information he shared en route to Hanauma Bay, about where different creatures may be seen, areas of the bay, types of fish, and even local characters (yes, fish). One of the fish characters (I think a Humuhumu? but I could be wrong) was described as a chihuahua who will pester you if you cross paths, LOL! The bay is simply some of the most beautiful water and fish I've ever snorkeled in the company of. Just incredible. 11/10. Thank you for an amazing experience.
Thank you for the enjoyable tour. Everyone was very friendly and it felt great. I had a child with me, and they were very considerate, which was a big help. Thank you very much. However, I was a bit disappointed that the weather was cloudy and cold, and the tide wasn't fully out.
この度は楽しいツアーありがとうございました。
色んな方に気さくに話されており凄くいい感じの方でした。子どもが居たのですが凄く気にもかけて下さり助かりました。ありがとうございました。
ただ天気が曇りで寒かったのと潮が引き切っておらずだったところが残念に思いました。
Nice and easy to have ready for the event! Thanks for the help in setting up.
Such a great way to see all of the Pearl Harbor sites! Pick up in Waikiki and all of the tickets included made it very easy. The included lunch was delicious and generous portion size. Our tour guide was very engaged and informative - she called us all her cousins and taught us a lot about Honolulu and Pearl Harbor. Would highly recommend!!
Mahalo for joining us Andrea! Glad you enjoyed your visit. Pearl Harbor experience is emotional and humbling indeed! Take care, Poly Ad Ohana
Earnel was just amazing. We've done lots of tours all over the world, and on an all-day tour like this one, the guide can make or break the tour. Earnel was one of the best we've had.
He was fun, friendly, knowlegeable, and very personable. He treated us all as "ohana" and made sure we had everything we needed to get the most out of this amazing day.
We loved the monuments and the whole tour. We'll definitely recommend it to others!
My family and I had a wonderful time! This was a great experience for everyone and provided a true family memory. Thank you Cheif's Luau, I really enjoyed the show you put on.
The crew was very nice and friendly, helpful and very attentive , tour it was very organized, and would do again . saw turtles and the coral reef was viewable wide selection of options while snorkeling . would recommend.
If you really want to have a fun day, then this tour is for you. And, family friendly! I've done it the last 2 years and am going to book again for next year. The crew: Captain Cheyenne, and crew members Julia, Yuki, Yukiko and Cody are the best. Very friendly, and GREAT personalities.
Walking on this sandbar is an experience. And they even set up a water volleyball game. The water is perfect and the bluest I've ever seen.
After the sandbar, they fire up the grill for a nice hamburger/cheeseburger lunch with all the fixins. And they have meatless burgers also.
After lunch there is snorkeling. Due to recent knee replacement surgery I was unable to participate last year, but was able to and had a great time this year.
After snorkeling, you go turtle watching. There were plenty, and some of them are HUGE.
My one big recommendation: Bring reef friendly sunscreen because the sun will fool you. It was a bit overcast this year,, but the sun still managed to get me.
I’m so glad we ended up choosing this package rather than trying to coordinate this trip on our own. Our tour guide, Chelsie, sent us great information ahead of time so that we knew exactly what to bring, what to expect during the trip, and where to meet. The open air bus was a fun part of the trip. She shared great information as we drove through Honolulu and to Pearl Harbor. When we arrived, she made sure we knew where to go and our timeline for the trip. Everything went smoothly and the whole family enjoyed the visit.
Dear Chelsie, Thank you for taking the time to recognize and acknowledge the great tour you had with Chelsie. So pleased you received all you had hoped for on your tour to Pearl Harbor.
I participated with my 0-year-old child. Since there were many participants, we took two buses and two boats, dividing into a Japanese-speaking team and an English-speaking team for the boat ride. Everyone was very kind to the children, making it easy for us to join with kids! If the child wears a float, they can stand on the sandbar, and although snorkeling is in deeper water, as long as we ensure the waves don't hit the child's face, we were able to enjoy it without any issues! The staff attended to us in Japanese, making it easy to ask questions, and above all, the location was amazing. I'm really glad I participated!!!
0歳の子どもと一緒に参加しました
参加人数も多かったのでバスも船も2台で行きましたが、日本語チームと英語が話せるチームに分かれて船に乗りました
皆さん子どもを可愛がってくれて子連れでも気兼ねなく参加できました!子どもは浮き輪を付けていけばサンドバーは足が着くし、シュノーケリングは深い海ですが子どもの顔に波が当たらないようにすれば問題なく楽しむことができました!
日本語でアテンドしてくれるのでわからないことは聞きやすいですし何よりロケーション最高でほんとに参加して良かったです!!!
My family and I had a great time with the E Noa Pearl Harbor Tour! We were all very impressed by the extensive guided tour. I would definitely recommend this experience
Dear Grace, We are so delighted and happy you and your loved ones had an amazing tour with us at Pearl Harbor.
The experience was not very good considering the high price. Since it's a submarine, the windows are small and visibility is poor, so I couldn't see much. I didn't really feel like I was diving, but I did feel a bit nauseous. I was hoping to see sea turtles, but unfortunately, I didn't see any.
高い値段の割には体験としてあまり良くなかったです。
潜水艦なので窓が小さく、見通しもよくないのであまり良く見えませんでした。
潜っている実感も特にないですが少し酔います。
ウミガメも見れるかと思ったけど見れず残念
We participated as a family of three, including my husband and daughter. The staff supported my husband, who is not a good swimmer, allowing us to enjoy scuba diving. The hamburgers grilled on the boat were also excellent. We would love to participate again next year.
夫婦と娘の3人で参加しました。金槌の夫をスタッフ皆さんでサポートしてくださり、スキューバを楽しむことができました。船上で焼いたハンバーガーも抜群。来年も是非参加させてください。
The whole experience was wonderful, the barbecue was great. Snorking was amazing, the crew was amazing.
Best way to get to see all museums if you are touring on your own!
Great day on the water!! We got to see dolphins and the water was crystal clear it was nothing short of amazing
The boat was a bit rocky.
The food was delicious but felt cheap.
The fireworks were amazing.
If the boat were bigger, maybe the rocking would be less.
船が少し揺れやすくよいました
ご飯はおいしかったが 安っぽかった
花火は最高でした
船が大きければ揺れは小さいのかも
To celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary, we enjoyed snorkeling at a sandbar, just like we did on our honeymoon. It was with a foreign tour company that has a name just one letter different from "Heaven," and all the staff were extremely friendly. A Japanese staff member was in charge of the tour, and the larger of the two boats that set sail was completely full of Japanese passengers.
After enjoying the sandbar, we had lunch with BBQ hamburgers prepared by the captain himself. Following that, we were able to snorkel for a full hour around the coral reef where sea turtles are found, and we returned to port while watching the sea turtles. It was a truly satisfying experience.
結婚35周年の節目にあたり、新婚旅行で体験したサンドバーのシュノーケリングを楽しみました。「天国」さんと一字違いの外資系のツアー会社ですが、スタッフ全員が非常にフレンドリーで日本スタッフのお姉様がツアーを仕切っており、2隻出航した大きい方の船は乗客全員が日本人で満員でした。
サンドバーを楽しんでから船長自らBBQしたハンバーガーなどの昼食を食べた後は、ウミガメがいる珊瑚礁の周囲をたっぷり1時間シュノーケリングすることができ、ウミガメウォッチングをしながら帰港するなど大満足の体験でした。
The food was ok. The noodles were the best part. The entertainment wad better definately. Did not get to see as much sunset due to the mountains.
It's a small aquarium, but the tour itself was wonderful, and I had a great time without feeling bored. My parents (65 years old) were also satisfied.
小さな水族館ですがツアー内容自体素晴らしく、時間を持て余すことなくとても楽しめました。両親(65歳)も満足していました。
