Oahu
It's something you should experience at least once in your life. Just being able to ride in a submarine is thrilling, and to see a downed airplane is truly overwhelming.
人生で一回は体験すべきものです
潜水艦に乗れるだけでも感激なのに、撃墜した飛行機が見れるなんて感無量てまし

The itinerary was generally as outlined in the information we received beforehand, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. Specifically, there was a wait of about 10 minutes for the bus transfer, and the duration of our stay at Hanauma Bay was also noted.
概ね事前にいただいていた案内通りの行程だったので、安心して楽しむことができました。
具体的には、バスの送迎時間（10分くらいは待ちました）、ハナウマ湾の滞在時間など。
In December, both the sea temperature and air temperature are on the lower side. That said, it's still possible to enjoy swimming in the sea. However, once you come out of the water, it can feel a bit
12月は海水温、気温ともに低めです。とは言っても海水浴できる状況です。ただし、海から上がると、お天気次第では少し肌寒いので、大きめのバスタオルがあると助かります。

I participated with my family of four: my second-grade daughter, my preschool son, my husband, and myself. It rained the entire time we were in Honolulu, but during this angelic sea tour, it was sunny (though there were a few light showers), and we were able to fully enjoy the beautiful sandbar.
The water at the sandbar was about waist-deep for adults, but it was shallow enough for the kids to stand, which made it safe. We played by floating with our inner tubes and snorkeling to peek into the sea. The water was incredibly clear and beautiful.
At one point, we caught a whiff of delicious grilled meat! My son raved that the hamburger and boiled beans for lunch were the best he had ever tasted!
After that, we went on a sea turtle search! We were able to see several sea turtles surfacing for air, and we even encountered a manta ray!
For the final snorkeling around the coral, my daughter and I participated! The wind was strong, and we were swept by the waves, but with some help, we discovered a sea turtle's resting spot and saw octopuses and fish as well.
We were even treated to drinks and snacks, allowing both of our kids to have a great time.
小2の娘と、年少の息子と夫と私の家族4人で参加しました。ホノルル滞在中、ずーっと雨でしたが、この天使の海のツアー中だけは晴れて（多少、小雨の時もあったけど）、綺麗なサンドバーを満喫できました。
サンドバーは、大人の腰くらいまでは水があったのですが、子供も足がつくので安心。浮き輪つけて浮かんだり、海の中をシュノーケルで覗いたりして遊びました。とにかく海の水が透明できれいでした。
途中から、お肉を焼いてるいい匂い〜！！息子はこのお昼ご飯のハンバーガーと煮豆が一番美味しかった！と大絶賛でした。
その後は海亀探し！海亀の息継ぎを何匹も見れて、なんとマンタにまで遭遇できました。
最後の珊瑚の周りのシュノーケルは、娘と私で参加！風が強くて波に流されたりしましたが、助けてもらって、海亀の寝床を発見したり、タコとかお魚も見れました。
飲み物や、お菓子までおもてなししていただき、子供2人とも楽しく過ごすことができました。
Once you get wet, it becomes cold, so having a towel or a hoodie that you can throw on is useful.
一回濡れると寒くなるので、羽織れるタオルやパーカーなどがあると使えます。

We had the best time on the tours. The guides were excellent. Very friendly. The grounds were clean, wanted to stay longer. It was an awesome experience would love to come back and tour it all again.
Thank You
My daughter tends to get seasick, so I was worried about the boat ride to the submarine, but it turned out to be much faster and more refreshing than I expected. We could see Oahu Island from the ocean, and the sense of satisfaction was incredible. It was fun!
娘が酔いやすかったので潜水ボートまで船移動が心配だったが、実はこの船移動が思っていたより高速で爽快。沖からオワフ島を見れたし満足感が半端ない。楽しかった。

I imagined it would be very crowded, but it was actually quite comfortable. If you arrive early in the morning, you can enjoy the breathtaking views all to yourself. It wasn't that far from Waikiki.
とても混んでいると想像していたがとっても快適。朝一で到着すれば絶景独り占め。ワイキキからでしたがそんなに遠くありませんでした。
I recommend checking the area in advance for beginner snorkeling.

The Japanese guided tour was free and very easy to understand, making it a great learning experience. They kindly answered various questions as well. The interior of the ship is really spacious, and the exhibits are well-equipped.
日本語ガイドツアーが無料であり、大変わかりやすく勉強になりました。色々な質問にも丁寧に答えて頂けます。船内はホント広く展示も充実してます。
Exploring the ship can be quite tiring, but don't forget that you can climb up to the 5th floor from near the exit at the end!

There were sudden places and stairs, and I was worried if my husband, who is well-built, would be able to climb, but we were able to reach the summit in about 40 minutes. I definitely want you to experience the wonderful view. The driver was cheerful and it was fun. I made a reservation for 8:20, but the day before, I was contacted and asked to change the meeting time to 7:20.
急な場所や階段もあり、体格の良い夫は登れるか心配でしたが40分ほどで頂上まで行く事ができました。ぜひとも素晴らしい景色を体験して欲しいです。ドライバーさんが陽気で楽しかったです。8:20で予約しましたが前日になり7:20集合にして欲しいと連絡がありました。
Even if you take your time climbing, an hour and a half round trip is more than enough. I think it's enjoyable for children and those with physical limitations as well.
ゆっくり登っても往復1時間半あれば十分です。お子様や身体の弱い方でも楽しめると思いました。

The friendly and knowledgeable driver, who seemed to be an experienced person from Dole, drove the trolley through the vast pineapple plantation while providing detailed explanations to the participants, allowing us to enjoy the pineapple fields with peace of mind. The farm was incredibly expansive, unimaginable in Japan (about 180 Tokyo Domes?), and I learned that the workers spend all day bending over to plant 5,000 pineapple tops, realizing the tremendous effort that goes into producing such delicious fruit. At the shop, we were able to taste freshly harvested pineapples and received a whole pineapple as a souvenir, which added to our enjoyment after returning to the hotel. After the farm tour, we had lunch at a popular garlic shrimp restaurant in the center of Haleiwa, and in the afternoon, we visited the turtle rock for power sports and a soap factory that was featured on Japanese television. On the way back, the driver listened to the participants' wishes and took us to the highest parking lot on Tantalus Hill, where we enjoyed a panoramic view of Oahu. The tour was filled with new discoveries, making for a memorable day.
親切で情報知識が豊富な運転手さんはDoleの会社の人のように手慣れた感じで広大なパイナップル農園を見学用のトロリーを運転しながら参加者に細かく説明してくれるので安心してパイナップル畑を楽しむことができました。農園は日本では考えられないくらい広大で(東京ドーム180(個分)？)畑で働く人々は1日中腰を屈めて5000個のパイナップルの種(パイナップルのアタマ)を植え付けしていると聞き美味しい果物をいただく裏には大変なご苦労があることを知ることがてきました。売店で採れたてのパイナップルの試食と、まるまる1個のお土産をいただくことができ、ホテルに戻ってからの
楽しみができました。農園見学後はハレイワの中心地にあるガーリックシュリンプの人気店で昼食をして、午後からはパワースポートの亀の岩や日本のテレビでも紹介された石鹸工場を見学しました。帰りは参加者の希望を聞いていただき、タンタラスの丘のいつもは行かない一番高い所の駐車場でオアフ島のパノラマを楽しみました。ツアーは新しい発見もあり思い出深い1日を過ごすことができました。

I recently visited Hanauma Bay using a tour from Veltra. Among the many tours available, the fact that they provide free transportation along with snorkeling masks and fins was a great deal and a key factor in my decision to participate.
Additionally, children under 12 and Hawaii residents can enter for free by showing an ID, making it a very accessible spot for families and locals. It's a place that is usually difficult to visit individually, but thanks to the tour, I was able to go there with peace of mind.
The water is mostly shallow, creating an environment where even snorkeling beginners can enjoy themselves without any difficulty. A friend who joined me, who has snorkeling experience in Okinawa's Miyako Island, was constantly amazed, saying, "The fish in Hawaii are just so big and impressive!"
Furthermore, Hanauma Bay has a limit on the number of visitors, so it doesn't feel crowded, and both the underwater scenery and the landscape are beautifully preserved. I was able to fully enjoy nature in a quiet and calm atmosphere, and it truly became an experience that made me think, "I definitely want to visit again."
Overall, I was very satisfied with both the service and the environment of the tour. I highly recommend this spot for creating memories in Hawaii.
このたびベルトラのツアーを利用してハナウマ湾を訪れました。
数あるツアーの中でも、送迎に加えてシュノーケルマスクとフィンが無料で利用できる点が大変お得で、参加の決め手となりました。
また、12歳以下のお子様とハワイ在住者は、IDを提示すれば入場料が無料になるため、家族連れや在住者にとっても非常に利用しやすいスポットだと感じました。普段は個人では訪れにくい場所ですが、ツアーのおかげで安心して向かうことができました。
海は浅瀬が中心で、シュノーケル初心者の方でも無理なく楽しめる環境が整っています。同行した友人（沖縄・宮古島でのシュノーケル経験あり）は、
「ハワイの魚はとにかく大きくて迫力がある！」と、終始感動しておりました。
さらに、ハナウマ湾は人数制限が設けられているため、混雑感がなく、水中も景観もとても美しく保たれています。静かで落ち着いた雰囲気の中で自然を満喫でき、心から「また必ず訪れたい」と思える体験となりました。
全体を通して、サービス内容・環境ともに大変満足度の高いツアーでした。ハワイでの思い出作りに、ぜひおすすめしたいスポットです。

This is a very fun even to do while in Hawaii. Staff was excellent!
The steak filet was extremely raw and the music must be updated!! Change performers!
The whole crew was amazing!! Special shoutout to KIKO, TYSON, and the Captain!! This crew were to so helpful to everyone!! They took pictures for everyone and helped out with snorkeling gear. This is my third time with this trip and it just gets better and better!! See you soon Captain Bob!! Mahalo for everything and making me and my wife’s 20th Anniversary so special!!

I promise you won’t be disappointed!! You’ll come back again!!
Unexpectedly, there were rocks everywhere. I have been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first time reaching the summit. I'm just tired. The view was amazing, and the breeze felt nice.

We saw all of Pearl Harbor at our pace with a guided tour of the Missouri. You get 2 consecutive days to see everything. It was a very memorable visit. Book your boat to the Arizona first. We booked the Pearl Harbor pass first then had to change it due to no tickets available for our original dates. Also the dates are available about a month early.
You can get standby tickets to the Arizona but it’s not guaranteed.
The inside of the ship and submarine are not accessible to wheelchairs and are very tight spaces.
For individuals, first, obtaining tickets is difficult. I tried twice at 7 AM when the online application opened, but there were many input fields, and within 10 minutes, it was sold out. I found this tour, which includes transportation and a snorkeling set, and signed up. The $25 entrance fee is not included, but if the tour is available, you can enter Hanauma Bay, so I recommend it. Previously, The Bus used to go close by, but it has now been discontinued, so you would need to rent a car or take a taxi, which means quite a bit of walking. This tour, which takes you to the entrance, is highly recommended. Even with broken English, it was fine.
個人で行くには、まず、チケット入手が難しく、朝7時のネット申し込みと同時に２回トライしたが、入力項目も多く、10分も経たずにsold out。
こちらのツアーを見つけ、送迎つき、シュノーケルセットつきで、申し込んだ。$25の入場料は含まれていないが、ツアーが空いていればハナウマベイにて入場できるので、おすすめ。
以前はザ・バスも近くまで通っていたが、今は廃止となり、レンタカーかタクシーで行かねば、かなり歩くことになるのて、入場口まで連れて行ってくれるこのツアーはおすすめです。
片言の英語でも、大丈夫でした。

The whole day was pack full of things to do, and each of them were really special. It was a very long day, and the weather was warm, especially on the Missouri. I would not have skipped a thing, though. The staff were all wonderful and you could tell they had so much respect for the history of the place. This was a bucket list item for me, and I'm so grateful tho have been able to go.
Go early, get on the waitlist for the Arizona Memorial immediately. Drink lots of water.
I really appreciated the crew and the way they treated us! The day was beautiful - a little overcast, but so beautiful as it always is at the sandbar. The sun came through and allowed us to be dazzled by the colors of the ocean. We saw lots of fish on our snorkel segment, and the majority of the boat played a fun game of volleyball in the water. The food was good, and the boat was spacious enough to allow everyone to see the turtles and to gaze at the beauty of the landscape as we moved through the water. I was lucky to be able to spend this memorable day with my cousin visiting from out of town. This was perfect for one of our big activities! We will never forget this fun experience!
Remember the sunscreen and the sea sickness medication if you get nauseous on boats. :)
I chose this tour especially because it didn't include malasadas or acai. Since watching the sunrise wasn't the goal, the pickup and end times were just right. You can easily get malasadas and acai by going to the shops yourself, so I recommend this tour.
特にマラサダやアサイーが付いていないこのツアーを選びました。
日の出も目的ではなかったのでちょうどいい時間でのお迎えと終了時間でした。
マラサダもアサイーも自分でお店に行けば簡単に食べれるのでこのツアーはオススメです。

This time, I participated with my mother, who is in her mid-80s. Initially, we thought we would have to give up on joining the tour because of her age, but after doing some research, we found out that there was a beginner-friendly course, so we decided to participate.
Our guide, Hoku (a foreigner), explained the plants in fluent Japanese and was considerate of our walking pace. Thanks to him, we were able to return safely without any injuries.
The sandwich we had afterward at Tantalus Lookout was delicious. We were able to see a different side of Hawaii, distinct from the beach.
今回は80代半ばの母親と参加しました。当初母が高齢ということもあり、ツアー参加は諦めていましたが、いろいろ調べて見ると初心者向けのコースと分かり参加を決意。

その後のタンタラスの丘で食べたサンドイッチは美味しかったです。ビーチとはまた違ったハワイの一面を見ることが出来ました。
I think it depends on the weather, but sturdy shoes are a good idea as your feet can get quite dirty. The tour to places that are not easily accessible on your own was enjoyable.

Aloha,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. We are truly grateful that you chose our tour for your important trip with your mother.
I understand there may have been some concerns regarding your age at first, but we are very relieved to hear that you returned safely without any injuries. We also appreciate your kind words about our guide's Japanese explanations and consideration for the walking pace, which will be a great encouragement for them.
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the sandwiches at Tantalus and the unique nature of Hawaii, different from the beaches. Your valuable advice regarding footwear will certainly be helpful for future participants.
Since these are places that are not easily visited individually, we are honored that you were able to experience the unique charm of our tour.
When you come to Hawaii again, please do stop by with your mother. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.
Mahalo!

当初はご年齢のことでご不安もあったかと思いますが、無事に怪我なくお戻りいただけたとのこと、私どもも大変安心いたしました。ガイドの日本語でのご案内や歩行ペースへの配慮についてもお褒めの言葉をいただき、本人にとっても大きな励みになります。
タンタラスの丘でのサンドイッチや、ビーチとは異なるハワイの自然をお楽しみいただけたとのこと、とても嬉しく思います。足元についての貴重なアドバイスも、これから参加されるお客様にとって参考になるお言葉です。

I was looking for a place I had never been to and a tour I had never experienced before, and I found this tour. I have been to the Dole Plantation many times, but this was the first time I learned that you can take a factory tour right across the street.
On the day of the tour, it had rained the night before, so the ground was nicely damp, which was great. Our guide, Nori, took photos at various locations and also took us to sightseeing spots other than Haleiwa Town. I think it was because there were only a few participants that he was able to accommodate our requests.

The Manoa Falls Trail has beautiful scenery and it’s an easy/ moderate hike going up. But the Manoa Falls at this time ( November) has little water but still worth the hike and a lot of great spots for IG.
Orlando our tour guide is very knowledgeable and made a lot of good recommendations around Honolulu. He provided us with water and bug spray. He is on time picking us up in the hotel.
Thank you and it was a great experience!
After visiting the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor on November 18, 2025, I went to the Battleship Missouri Memorial. I was able to make an online reservation before departing from Japan, which made my visit very reassuring.
The Battleship Missouri was launched in January 1944 and participated in the Iwo Jima and Okinawa landings. On September 2, 1945, it served as the venue for the signing ceremony of the surrender documents between the Allied forces led by General MacArthur and the Japanese government delegation led by Foreign Minister Shigemitsu.
Later, in 1950, it was deployed during the Korean War, and although it was decommissioned in 1955, it was reactivated in 1986. It participated in the Gulf War in 1991, was decommissioned again in 1992, and arrived at Pearl Harbor in 1998, opening as a memorial the following year. The Missouri is referred to as the last battleship because it was the last to be completed and the last to be decommissioned.
There are Japanese-speaking volunteer guides on board who provide detailed information about the history of the Missouri, its main guns, and the surrender document signing ceremony, so I recommend requesting a guide.
There is a counter at the entrance where you can check in. After the guided tour, you can freely explore the ship. You can visit various areas of the battleship that are not typically accessible, including the bridge, the dining areas for senior officers and sailors, the sleeping quarters, and the ship's post office, making it a valuable experience.
2025年11月18日にパールハーバーのアリゾナ記念館を見学後、戦艦ミズーリ記念館を訪れました。
日本出発前にオンラインで予約が出来、安心して訪問する事が出来ました。
戦艦ミズーリは1944年１月に進水後、硫黄島上陸作戦や沖縄上陸作戦に参加し、1945年9月2日マッカーサー元帥率いる連合軍側と、重光葵全権率いる日本政府代表団との間で、東京湾上で行われた降伏文書調印式の会場となりました。
その後1950年に朝鮮戦争に出動、1955年に一度退役しましたが、1986年に再就役し、1991年に湾岸戦争に出動、1992年に再度退役し1998年にパールハーバーに到着し、翌年から記念館として公開されています。
ミズーリは最後に完成し最後に退役した事から最後の戦艦と呼ばれています。
艦内では日本語のボランティアガイドが常駐していて、ミズーリの歴史や主砲、降伏文書調印式の様子などを詳しく教えてくれますから、ガイドを依頼する事をお勧めします。
艦に登った所にカウンターがありそこで受付をしています。
ガイド終了後は自由に艦内を見学出来ます。艦橋を始め上級士官や水兵の食堂、寝室、艦内の郵便局など、普通目にする事が出来ない戦艦の様々な場所を見学出来るので貴重な体験です。
It takes about 2 hours to see everything inside the ship, so I recommend visiting with plenty of time to spare.
艦内を全て見るには約2時間程掛かりますから、時間には十分余裕をもって訪問する事をお勧めします。

Visiting the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and the USS Arizona Memorial was deeply impactful. To follow the drive through the Punchbowl National Cemetery and downtown Honolulu offered interesting insights into Hawaii’s history and culture
The Friday add on of the fireworks at the end made the night extra special. Service was friendly and attentive, and the sunset views over Waikiki were stunning.
The Polynesian show was very entertaining, with skilled dancers. The boat service team was attentive, and the atmosphere was festive without feeling crowded. A fun and memorable way to enjoy a Hawaiian evening.
We spent about 75 minutes at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, watched the 23-minute film on December 7, 1941, and then took the shuttle boat to the USS Arizona Memorial. Afterwards, the tour included a drive through the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (Punchbowl) and a window‑view tour of downtown Honolulu.
The sunset views from the deck were stunning, and the buffet offered a wide variety of tasty dishes.
Moderate climbs with the spectacular views from the summit, sweeping vistas of Waikiki and the Pacific.
The trail is beautiful and lush, with tropical scenery at every turn. A simple, enjoyable rainforest escape.
