There was a live performance on the boat, which was enjoyable. During snorkeling, I was able to see many fish even in shallow areas, which was delightful. Since I had been in the water for a long time, it was cold on the way back on the boat, so I think it would be good to spend some free time in the sun.

船の中でもLive演奏があり楽しめました。シュノーケリングは足がつくところでもたくさんの魚を見られて満喫です。ずっと海に入っていたので帰りの船の中が寒かったので日に当たりながら自由時間を過ごされるとよいと思います。

Unfortunately, the sandbar didn't appear.
But the sea was very beautiful, and the activities were fun. The live band on the way there and back was really great.
I want to challenge myself to see the sandbar again someday.

サンドバーは残念ながら現れませんでした。
でもとても海がキレイでアクティビティも楽しかったです。行き帰りの生バンドもめちゃくちゃよかった。
またいつかサンドバーを見にチャレンジしたいです。

We had the most amazing experience!! We brought our daughter to Hawaii for her high school graduation and she loved this tour. We had the best tour guides ever!! And we would do it over and over again if we lived here. Just make sure you bring comfy clothes, comfy shoes you really don’t mind getting wet/dirty, and females you will get your face super dirty and wet…so make sure you at least bring a little extra face wash/sunscreen.
Thank you very much and Mahalo from Los Angeles California.

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!

There was something for everyone in our group of 11 people (ranging in ages from 3 to 68). Lunch was tasty, the crew was great, and everyone found things to enjoy. Booking was easy and the area is beautiful. We even saw a sea turtle swimming with us!! We definitely recommend this for other families.

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 visited Hanauma Bay for the first time this time. Before making a reservation, I considered going on my own instead of a tour, but I was glad I chose to book a tour.

First of all, Hanauma Bay is reservation-only and very popular, so securing an entry reservation is quite difficult. Additionally, the parking lot is extremely crowded upon arrival, and the guidance is complicated, so if you don't have a decent understanding of English, you might struggle. There are also announcements regarding precautions before entry, but everything is in English, and there is no Japanese guidance, so it can be challenging to understand the content if you're not familiar with English.

By booking a tour, I was able to secure an entry reservation without any issues, and the transportation from the hotel to the site, along with Japanese interpretation and explanations, made the process much smoother. Thanks to the tour allocation, I was able to enter without unnecessary waiting time compared to general visitors.

The snorkeling itself was also very easy because the guides were very experienced and explained everything clearly. (For example, they advised me to unlock my smartphone in advance if I wanted to take photos.) While swimming, there was a guide swimming at the front, and another guide watching carefully from behind. They kept an eye out for participants who seemed to be struggling and would lead us to areas with plenty of fish, so I felt safe participating.

On the day I went, there was some wind and slightly higher waves, so the water was a bit murky, and the visibility didn't seem very high, but I think that's just due to the weather and sea conditions. Even in those conditions, it was enjoyable, so I believe it’s worth going. Even if you don't swim, Hanauma Bay is beautiful just to look at.

In my personal opinion, during the transportation from the hotel to the site, we passed through local areas that are not typically visited on trips, and the local guide provided detailed explanations, allowing me to learn about a side of Hawaii that is not just the tourist spots, which made me happy.

If anyone is considering booking a tour, I would highly recommend it.

今回初めてハナウマ湾を訪れました。
予約前はツアーではなく自力で行くことも検討していましたが、ツアーを申込んで正解でした。
まず、ハナウマ湾は予約制かつとても人気なので入場予約を取ることがそもそも難しいです。
さらに到着後の駐車場は非常に混雑しており、案内も複雑なので英語をそれなりに理解してないと手こずるかと思います。
また入場前に注意事項等の案内がありますがすべて英語で日本語案内などはありませんので、ここも英語に慣れている方でないと内容理解が難しいです。
ツアーを申込むと入場予約を確実に取ることが出来、ホテルから現地までの送迎、日本語での通訳・説明、また入場する際もツアー枠？のおかげか一般の方よりもかなりスムーズに無駄な待ち時間もなく入ることが出来ました。

またシュノーケル自体もガイドの方たちが非常に慣れていて、分かりやすく説明してくださるのでとてもやりやすかったです。
（例えば、スマホを持っていって撮影したいなら事前にロック解除をしといた方がいいですよ、など細かくアドバイスを下さいました）
泳いでる最中も先頭で泳ぐガイドさんの他に後ろできちんと見守ってくださるガイドさんがいらっしゃいます。辛そうにしてる参加者などがいないかしっかり見ていてくださり、魚がたくさんいる場所に手を引いて連れて行ってくれたりしますので安心して参加できます。

私が行った日は風があり波が少し高い日だったので海の中も少し濁っていて、透明度はあまり高くないように感じましたが、それは天候や海の状態なので仕方ないことだと思います。
そんな状態でも楽しかったので行く価値はあると思います。また泳がなくてもハナウマ湾は見てるだけでも美しい海です。

個人的な意見にはなりますが、ホテルから現地までの送迎の際、旅行ではあまり行かないローカルエリアなどを通るのですが、現地ガイドさんがここも細かく説明してくださって観光地としてのハワイではないハワイを知ることが出来たので嬉しかったです。

もしツアー申込みを検討されてる方がいらっしゃればおすすめしたいと思います。

A great place for small kids and adults due to shallow water. Good side excursions included with the price such as canoeing, paddle boarding, and snorkeling, but there's some waiting time for canoeing and paddle boarding due to limited availability.

Parasailing itself was very enjoyable! The view of Hawaii from 150 meters was amazing! However, since there were about 12 people on the shared boat and 6 groups took turns flying, we had to wait on a rather rocky boat due to the strong winds that day. As a result, there were some people who got seasick during the wait. So, motion sickness medication is a must!

パラセーリング自体はとても楽しかったです！
150mから見るハワイの景色は素晴らしかったです！
ただ、12人程度の乗合船で6組が順番に飛ぶため、風が強い日だったこともあり結構揺れる船で待機することになります。 なので途中で船酔いしてしまっていた方がいました。なので酔い止めは必須です！

Due to the price, I was debating whether to purchase this excursion for a family of four. I bit the bullet and purchased it; let me tell you, my experiences from the beginning to the end of the trip, it was magical. Just the drive to the location was a joy in itself, engulfed with the "aw" moment, witnessing the green mountains to the curvy roads. As we arrived at the boating dock, the instruction instructed us to check in near the deli Shop under the red umbrella. We were greeted by smiles and they quickly got us onto the boat after signing the waivers. The boat ride to Kaneohe Bay was worth it-the purchase included a simple breakfast (donuts, orange Juice, and water), live music (please tip the band), and the scenery was heavenly. The best part of this excursion was seeing my family enjoying every moment in the clear water, snorkeling, kayaking, and paddle boarding. The staffs were friendly educating us about the sea animals when we were snorkeling.

Overall, one of the best experiences ever. I would definitely do this again if I were to be in Oahu.

I was taken care of six years ago as well. This time, I really appreciate you listening to my request for a change in the return location and taking care of my beginner partner. I truly thank you! I want to go again before I turn 70!

6年前にもお世話になりました。
今回も帰りの、場所の変更も聞いてくださり、初心者のパートナーのケアもして頂き、本当に感謝です！70歳になる前にもう一度行きたいです！

It was beautiful to get to see the land and our tour guide was amazing and sweet

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 exceeded my expectations. I participated in two activities, snorkeling and kayaking, in the morning and afternoon. During the bus ride, the driver provided fun explanations and conversations, making the journey enjoyable without getting bored (the driver was incredibly funny and friendly). They were busy giving us sightseeing information, pointing out things to the right and left.

However, there was one issue: at the snorkeling site, the tour description stated that "life jackets are available for free," but I was told that this was not included in the tour price. Even when I mentioned it was written on the voucher, they insisted it was different. Originally, it would have been $10, but since we came on the tour bus, they said it would be $7. There were only my husband and me as Japanese participants; the others were foreigners, and since no one else seemed to say anything, I wondered if they had booked through a different company.

A Japanese staff member was in charge and kindly said, "I'm Japanese, so please let me know if you need anything," which felt a bit strange. I was left wondering if what was written on Veltra was incorrect or if there was a communication issue... It left me feeling uncomfortable.

As for the snorkeling itself, I was able to see turtles and various fish, which was enjoyable. For lunch, I had garlic shrimp from the snorkeling side, and they were huge and delicious! However, there were many chickens running around nearby, and as someone who isn't fond of them, I couldn't fully enjoy my meal. The chickens seemed accustomed to humans and appeared from all over.

The afternoon activity was kayaking, which I had never done before, but I had a lot of fun. At a break during the morning, we stopped by a macadamia nut shop that had Kona coffee, which I couldn't find even in Waikiki. I tasted it and bought some immediately. We also briefly stopped at a place selling fresh fruit in Ziploc bags, where everyone was buying and eating papayas.

Aside from the issue with the life jackets, it was a very enjoyable tour.

期待していた以上の内容でした。
午前と午後のアクティビティ、計２つ、スノーケリングとカヤックに参加しました。
バスで移動する間もドライバーさんの楽しい説明と会話で、飽きることなく楽しめました（すごい面白くてフレンドリーなドライバーさんでした）。
右に左に忙しいくらい、観光案内してくれました。
ただひとつ、スノーケリングのところで、ツアー説明には「ライフジャケットは無料で貸し出しします」と書いてあったのに、ツアー代金にそれは含まれていない、と言われ、バウチャーに書いてあると言っても違うと言われ、本来なら10ドルのところ、ツアーバスで来てるから7ドルでOKと言われました。
日本人の参加者は私たち夫婦だけで、他は外国人で、他の人は特に何も言ってなかったので、申し込んだ会社が違うのかなと思いましたが…。
日本人の人が担当で、「私は日本人なので、何かあれば言ってください」とフレンドリーに声かけてきたのですご、なんだかね、って感じでした。
ベルトラに書かれていることが間違っていたのか、あるいは、連絡がうまく伝わっていないのか…不快な気持ちになりました。
スノーケリング自体は、タートルも見られたし魚も色々見られて楽しめました。
スノーケリングの側のガーリックシュリンプをお昼に食べましたが、すごく大きいシュリンプで美味しかったです！
ただ、そばには鶏がたくさん走り回っていて、苦手な私は食事を楽しむことはできませんでしたが。
鶏は人間に慣れているのか、あちこちから神出鬼没でした。
午後のアクティビティはカヤック、初めてでしたがとても楽しめました。
午前中途中の休憩で寄ったマカデミアナッツのお店にはワイキキで探してもなかったコナコーヒーをまぶしたのがあり、味見して、即購入しました。
途中で、ジップロックに入ったフレッシュフルーツを売ってるところにもちょっとだけ立ち寄ってくれ、みなさん、パパイヤを買って食べてました。
ライフジャケットの件を除いては、とても楽しめたツアーでした。

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's an activity in shallow water, so you can enjoy it without any worries. On the banana boat, I had to use all my leg and arm strength to avoid being thrown off, and I ended up with a bit of muscle soreness. I guess I'm not used to exercising. The fish were incredibly cute!

浅瀬でのアクティビティなので、不安無く楽しめます。
バナナボートは振り落とされない様に、脚力、腕力全開で、少し筋肉痛になった。日頃の運動不足だね。
お魚が最高に可愛かったよーーー

The scenery of this mountain is something you can't see in Japan. It's one of a kind! I highly recommend it. This time I was on a Raptor, but I think I prefer the single-rider buggy from last time.

この山の景色は、日本では見ることできません。
唯一無二！　お勧めだよ。
今回はラプターだったけど、どちらかと言うと前回の一人乗りのバギーが好みかな。

Went with a few friends & we had a good time! The music was great, crew was friendly & helpful, & we enjoyed the floating lounge. I wish inner tubes would have been provided to float in the water, but not a huge deal. Overall, would recommend!

This was my first time to Hawaii and I took my son and out of all of our excursions this was by far the best one hands-down! Each and everyone of the crew members were so friendly and helpful and made you feel as if you were at home on their tour boat and the music was a great touch. We have never snorkeled or used a paddle board before and this adventure allowed the most beautiful perfect safe spot for our first time. I have never been in water that beautiful and if you were nervous at all some of the crew even stays in the water with you in all the areas at all times. Just book this tour you will not regret it! Thank you for providing my son and I priceless memories that we will cherish forever.

The afternoon on the Kaneohe Sandbar was amazing!! There were so many choices of things to do : kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, sunning on the floating deck, or playing volleyball. The reef was filled with beautiful fish and the sand underfoot was smooth and soft. The crew was organized and efficient with each member per for their job effectively. But the icing on the cake was the live entertainment from two very talented musicians who played and sang as we rode out and back to the sandbar. It’s an adventure that I will book again when I return to the island!

Awesome crew! This was an amazing and fun experience for my family.

EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT!
Great weather, Hawaii vibes, crew/staff was friendly, helpful, funny, and made us feel right a home.
Great experience for families. The water is not too deep for children. Maybe, above the knee.

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 !

I went parasailing for the first time.
The view of Hawaii was absolutely amazing!!

If you are prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must!

初めてパラセーリングをしました。
ハワイの景色を一望できてとても最高でした！！

乗り物酔いするかたは酔い止め薬必須です！

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.

We did the clear bottom kayak and snorkeling.
The weather on the north shore can be a little unpredictable, so keep that in mind. Steve gave us a quick lesson and we were on our way.
My wife and I had a great time, and would recommend this to anyone looking to get in the water and see some sea turtles!

Since I didn't check the tide, the water was about waist-deep. I recommend that those who go check the tide schedule, including high and low tides. I have no regrets as my goal was to enter the sea.

満ち引きを見てなかった為、腰くらいまで水がありました。行かれる人は潮の満ち引き、大潮小潮などを調べての参加をお勧めいたします。
自分は海に入る事が目的だった為、後悔はありません。

Such a fun and exciting experience. All the staff and crew were awesome and did an amazing job making sure we were enjoying ourselves.Totally enjoyed the music the band was playing and all the water activities. Altogether the experience with my family was such a great memory builder. Highly recommend this tour.

My first parasailing experience. I was nervous, but once I was up, the view was breathtaking. It was over in no time. If you get seasick, you should be careful.

初めてのパラセイリング。ドキドキだったけど、上がってしまえばもう絶景。あっという間でした。船酔いする人は気をつけた方がいいです。
