Oahu
We had a really great experience overall. The staff was super friendly and helpfull. We highly recommend the kayak tour and the provider. Thanks a lot
Aloha Vivian and Mischa! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave this awesome review! We really appreciate that. Stoked to hear you had a great kayak and snorkel experience with us and that our team took good care of you. Looking forward to seeing you again next time! Mahalo!
We headed over to Ko Olina and drove to the main entrance of the Four Seasons Resort. Parking was valet so be sure to bring extra cash, which was $20 plus tip. The stargazing is located on the top floor of the spa building at the tennis courts.
Our guide Greg was very knowledgable and gave interesting tidbits about how the Hawaiians used the stars both in their folklore and in their navigation. The stars are quite beautiful in Hawaii so we were glad to have been able to do stargazing here.
Some of the most unique stargazing can only be done in the islands, so this was well worth doing for us!
Mahalo! Keep reaching for the stars !
try to go on rainy days.
The ride gets you so much dust that your nose will be filled up with dust for days.
I had a wonderful time being watched over by the very kind and humorous Chieko and Dan. There were a total of seven of us: two young couples, my 66-year-old self and my son, and one man from overseas. They held my hand, as I’m not a strong swimmer, and guided me to where the fish and turtles were swimming. I was quite anxious as a beginner and being older, but the one-hour snorkeling experience was just fine. Their advice was to take motion sickness medication if you’re worried about seasickness. I also recommend borrowing a wetsuit to prevent injuries and sunburn. I’m really glad I participated.
とても優しくてユーモラスなチエコさんとダンさん2人に見守られ楽しい時間を過ごす事が出来ました。若いカップル2組、66歳の私と息子、海外の男性1人の計7人でした。泳ぎの苦手な私の手を繋いで、魚や亀の泳いでいる場所を案内してくれました。1時間たっぷりのシュノーケルに、初心者で高齢の私は不安ばかりでしたが、大丈夫でした。アドバイスは、波酔いの心配がある方は酔い止め薬を服用すること。ウェットスーツは怪我や日焼け予防にも借りる事をお勧めします。参加してとても良かったです。
Great time 1st trip on a fishing boat with kids. Meeting many wonderful patron on the ship along with the boat captain. Our kids managed to catches the first fish during our boat trip. Definitely would plan to come back next month. Hopefully this time our boat can catch more fishes comparing to last trip. It's wasn't that much fishes floating somehow but overall still an awesome journey with kids and family's. Scenic of Waikiki is unbelievable along many Dolphin jumping and boiling on the surface of the sunrise calm Aquatic blue ocean.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review! We really enjoyed having you out with us and hope you are able to come again soon!
We departed from West Oahu, but unfortunately, we didn't see a single whale that day. We also experienced a cruise departing from Waikiki as a backup service from the same company, but we still didn't encounter any whales! However, if you don't see any whales, you receive a free boarding ticket for the next time, so if you have flexibility in your schedule, you can reschedule for another day. If you're visiting for about five days, you might not have time to switch to another day, so it's a bit of a gamble... There were no Japanese crew members, so everything was in English. Our family was the only Japanese guests. But as long as you can find the departure location, you should be fine even if you don't understand English.
西オアフから出発ですが、その日は残念ながら1頭も会えず。
リベンジでワイキキからも出発するクルーズ(同じ会社の振り替えサービス)も体験しましたが、くじらに会えず!
ただ、見れなかった場合は次回無料乗船券がもらえるので、日程的に余裕がある人は違う日に振り替えられます。5日くらいの観光できているとほかの日に振り替える時間がないと思うので、一か八かですね・・・。
日本人のクルーはいませんので、すべて英語です。
日本人客は私たち家族だけでした。でも出発場所にさえちゃんとたどり着ければ英語がわからなくても大丈夫です。
Veltra made booking an outrigger canoe surfing activity so easy! I highly recommend using Veltra! Great price for one of our favorite activities when we were in Honolulu! We’ll definitely book with Veltra again! Mahalo!
Aloha Marcus! We are happy to hear your experience on the outrigger canoe was a memorable one. Mahalo for taking the time to write a review and give us a 5 star rating
Beautiful views, super fun ride. Dress for possibility to get dirty! Awesome day.
We did the Admission only package, which is great for families with young kids. It rained the entire day but it was still fun and we enjoyed the experience. We were able to follow our own schedule and still head over the see the different villages even if we were not on the presentation schedule. The boat ride was a highlight for my kids and the giudes were very safety-oriented and made sure everyone was engaged in the narration.
The canoe ride ended on the other side of the park, with walkable access to the villages of Fiji, French Polynesia (Tahiti), and Hawaii. We were able to play some of the games and even check out some of the historical village buildings.
Don't forget to check out their very own large sailing canoe that was built by the staff and students who work at the Polynesian Cultural Center and BYU in La'ie. Ask about its story - it's truly remarkable.
The visit to PCC was very much worth doing during our trip. I highly recommend Polynesian Cultural Center!
Me and my husband had a great time. The guys are very prompt with safety and are very accomodating. We saw turtles and other sea creatures too. My husband was not very confident with snorkeling but they helped him out by getting acquainted with the waters and eventually he gained confidence to snorkel and he enjoyed it a lot later on to see sea life.
This is definitely to be done again! Was an amazing experience
The experience was great! The food was good and the service great. We did the 3-star dinner and it was so much fun. We did the private table upgrade, which is worth the extra cost. Also, pay a little extra to have them pick you up with their shuttle service. Overall, we highly recommend this experience!!!
We went on the raptor ATV tour. Amazing experience. The ability the see the majestic beauty of the island up close was so memorable! Our guides were so friendly and funny and made the tour even more amazing. This was one of the highlights of our Hawaiian vacation. Highly recommend.
This sandbar tour was the best choice! It was so fun! They had all the gear and all we had to do was bring ourselves! They supplied the tastiest BBQ burgers with vegan options as well! Our captain was so professional, yet funny, and extremely helpful taking pictures for us, and giving us the best sandbar adventure ever! We played volleyball, snorkeled, and enjoyed cruising around the sandbar. I can't wait to go again!
Mahalo nui loa!

This is one of the best days out we had on the island.
Blane the ATV guide was great, really looked after us, kept us moving at a great pace.
The two girls who took us on the Zipline were amazing, very confident and kept everyone calm.
Was a Great Day out, would highly recommend.
It was an event affected by the weather, and the first day was canceled due to wind. We rescheduled and successfully went ahead two days later. We departed from the yacht harbor in front of the Hilton Hotel, with three groups together. After putting on our gear, we were in the air in no time. It was an indescribable feeling, flying while looking at Diamond Head and Waikiki. It was wonderful! When returning to the boat, I landed in the water with only my lower body, but I made it back safely.
天候に左右されるイベントで、初日は風で中止。予約し直し、2日後に無事決行でした。ヒルトンホテルの前のヨットハーバーから出発、3組一緒。道具を装着して、あっと言う間に空中へ。何とも言えない感覚、ダイアモンドヘッド、ワイキキを見ながらの飛行。素晴らしい!船に戻る時に下半身のみ着水、無事戻りました。
It was a breathtaking view!
I flew up to the highest point, but the wind was strong, and I was scared, so I couldn't let go.
The boat also swayed quite a bit. Those who get motion sickness might experience seasickness.
絶景でした!
1番高いところまで飛んでみましたが、風が強くて、怖くて手が離せずでした。
船もまぁまぁ揺れました。乗り物酔いする方は船酔いするかも。
It was a great experience. The staff are friendly and helpful. The music was great.
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
It was a fun and valuable experience, but I can't help but think that it wasn't that rare of an experience.
The slow pace of travel and seeing sea turtles, which I feel like you can see anywhere in Hawaii, lacked impact as the main attraction.
Of course, it was enjoyable!
楽しかったし貴重な体験でしたがそれほど珍しい体験ではないかと思ってしまいます。
ゆっくり過ぎる移動である事やハワイならどこでも見れる気がするウミガメを見るのが目玉ではインパクトに欠けました。
もちろん楽しかったですが!
アロハ!
私たちとの最近の体験についてレビューしていただきありがとうございます。ご期待に沿えなかったことをお詫び申し上げます。海はしばしば予測不可能で、海中生物の目撃情報は時間によって異なります。貴重なフィードバックをいただき感謝しており、チームと共有させていただきます。マハロ!
Aloha !
Thank you for taking the time to review your recent experience with us. We're sorry to hear that it wasn't as exciting as you had hoped. The ocean is often quite unpredictable, and sightings of underwater life vary from hour to hour. We appreciate your valuable feedback and will be sure to share it with our team. Mahalo!
It was a very fulfilling time. I participated with transportation included this time. As those who have experienced it before mentioned, there is about a 30-minute wait after it's over until you get on the bus, and it feels like there's not enough time. The buggy ride was fun. Your face gets completely covered in dust.
とても充実した時間でした。
今回送迎付きで参加。以前体験された方も言ってましたが、終わってからバスに乗り込むまで30分ほどありますが、時間が足りないですねぇ。バギーは楽しかったですよ。お顔は土煙でまっ黒けになります。
At first, I was nervous about what it would be like, but this time there were over 10 people on the boat, and we went out to sea. They played music and took photos for us, which was an additional charge. The boat went at an incredible speed, making it feel like an attraction. It turned at some really steep angles, haha. I'm someone who enjoys this kind of thing, but if you're prone to motion sickness, be careful! When we were parasailing, it was so much fun, and we could see all of Waikiki! I want to do it again next time!
最初どんな感じだろうとドキドキでしたが今回は10名以上船に乗って沖まで行きました。音楽も流してくれたり、写真も撮ってくれます。別途料金
船はすごいスピードで走ったりでアトラクションみたいです。すごい角度まで曲がります笑
私は楽しい派ですが、酔いやすい方は気をつけてください!
パラセーリングやってるときは楽しくてワイキキ見渡せます!次行った時もやりたいです!
I was unsure whether to add the all-you-can-drink soft drinks, but I'm glad I did. Since it's hot, I could drink as much as I wanted without having to go back to the locker each time to throw away my cups. I also opted for the shuttle service. The slides had almost no wait, and even when I did wait, it was less than 5 minutes! With 5 hours, you can go around all the slides twice. I got really sunburned, so I recommend applying sunscreen frequently. The locker was available for the whole day, and I rented a small one for $15.
ソフトドリンク飲み放題つけるか迷いましたがつけてよかったです。暑いので何回でも飲めるのとすぐ捨てられるからいちいちロッカーに行かなくてすみます。送迎もつけました。スライダーはほぼ並ばずで待っても5分未満でした!5時間あれば全スライダー2周はできます。日焼けすごくしたのでこまめに日焼け止め塗るのがおすすめです。
ロッカーは1日開け放題で小さいロッカーを借りて15ドルでした。
Aloha Umedo,
Thank you for your valuable feedback.
Aloha うめどぅ様、
貴重なご意見を頂きありがとうございました。
Whole crew are amazing and show such excellent hospitality and service! Always make us feel so comfortable with our whole experience! Music sets the vibes and when you get to the sandbar it’s breathtaking! Even on an overcast day like we had it’s so worth it! so I can say rain or shine you have you have to experience it. Shyla was amazing and runs a great group, it’s always a must when we visit Oahu. Thank you again for the amazing hospitality and we can’t wait to come back. Mahalo!!!
We appreciated your time for this review, kind words for our crew. We look forward to seeing you again. Mahalo! - Team KBOS
I was glad to see the beautiful scenery of Hawaii. The staff were very friendly and kind. I was satisfied with the simple plan and schedule because I wanted to take my time enjoying the views.
とてもきれいなハワイの景色が観れて良かったです。
スタッフの方ととてもフレンドリーで、親切でした。
景色をゆっくりみたかったので、シンプルなプランとタイムスケジュールで満足でした。
This activity is a must! It was the highlight of our 2 week trip.
We visited Hawaii for our honeymoon. I wanted to see dolphins in the dream destination of Hawaii, so I joined this tour. Although it was an early start, we were lucky enough to encounter not only dolphins but also whales on this tour. I was also thrilled to see sea turtles. The staff were very kind, and there were Japanese-speaking staff members, which made me feel at ease. During snorkeling, I was able to relax and see colorful fish in the beautiful sea. The slide from the boat was also fun. On the way back, we got to see a hula dance, which became a wonderful memory. For those worried about seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance. If you forget, you can also purchase a motion sickness band that is said to be effective on the bus ride there.
新婚旅行で訪れたハワイ。憧れのハワイでイルカも見たいと思い、こちらのツアーに参加しました。
早起きでしたが参加したこのツアーではイルカだけでなく運良くクジラにも出会えることができました。また、ホヌも見れることができとても興奮しました。スタッフの方々もとても親切で日本語対応スタッフもいるので安心して参加できました。シュノーケルでは綺麗な海でゆったりと色鮮やかな魚たちも見ることができました。また、船からの滑り台も楽しかったです。帰りの船上ではフラダンスも見ることができ最高の思い出になりました。船酔いが心配な方はあらかじめ酔い止めを飲んでいくことをお勧めします。忘れた場合は、行きのバスの中で、
酔い止めに効くと言われる酔い止めバンドを購入することもできます。
It’s totally a MUST if you go to Hawaii. 100% recommended.
There were two guides, one of whom was a Japanese woman. There were about ten participants, with two Americans and the rest being Japanese. The guides were kind and attentive, allowing us to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. When I initially struggled with breathing through my mouth, the male guide quickly came to help me. The female guide also held my hand and swam with me.
It was drizzling on the day of the tour, and the water level was quite low, so I was glad I borrowed a wetsuit. I was able to see a lot of fish as well.
ガイドの方は2人で、1人は日本人女性の方でした。参加者は10人ぐらいでアメリカ人2人以外はは日本人でした。ガイドの方は親切丁寧に接してくださり、安心してツアーを楽しむ事ができました。わたしが最初口呼吸がうまくできない時、男性ガイドの方がすぐに助けに来てくれました。女性ガイドの方も手を握って一緒に泳いでくださいました。
当日は小雨で水位もかなり低く、ウェットスーツを借りておいてよかったです。魚もたくさん見ることができました。
I participated alone in the afternoon. There were also people from the mainland United States and Germany participating alone, and it was a friendly lesson. First, we watched a video on how to ride inside the store, then walked a few minutes to the beach, where we received a lecture on how to ride on the sandy shore. There were five participants and two male instructors (English speakers) who assisted us. Each of us took turns riding the waves and surfing. The conditions were not great, as it was cloudy with light rain, but I was able to catch some waves. They also filmed videos with a drone. I struggled with paddling and couldn't move forward well, so the instructor hooked his foot on my board and helped me get to the point. When I couldn't stand on the board, they provided advice and taught me enthusiastically.
There are lockers with locks for your belongings. They also lend out rash guards. There was a Japanese male staff member who talked with us about various things (it seems he is in charge of the morning lessons). Both the instructors and the store staff were friendly, and I made some wonderful memories.
午後1人で参加しました。アメリカ本土やドイツなど1人で参加されている人もいて、和気あいあいなレッスンでした。店内でまず乗り方の映像をみて、数分歩いて海岸へ行き、砂浜で乗り方のレクチャーを受けます。5人参加でインストラクター男性2名(英語話者)ついてくれました。1人1人順番に波に乗せてくれ、サーフィンをしました。曇りで小雨のあまりよくないコンディションでしたが、波に乗れました。ドローンで動画撮影もしてくれます。わたしはpaddlingがうまくできなくてなかなか前へすすまず、インストラクターがわたしのボードに足をひっかけてポイントへ連れていってくれました。ボードに立てない時はアドバイスをくれるなど熱心に教えてくれます。
荷物は鍵がかかるロッカーがあります。ラッシュガードも貸してくれます。
日本人の男性スタッフの方もいて、いろいろお話してくださいました(レッスンは午前担当らしいです)。インストラクターの方もお店のスタッフもフレンドリーで楽しい思い出ができました。
There were various slider-type attractions, and we had a great time. Before we knew it, it was already time to leave at 3 PM. Next time, I want to stay until the end with a rental car.
It was disappointing that my younger child, who is exactly 120 cm tall, couldn't participate in some activities. It's understandable since it's according to the rules, but it's better not to go if you're right on the edge of the height requirement.
Also, I wasn't happy with the waiting time in the lunch purchase line. Only one representative from the family waited for over 30 minutes. Since outside food is not allowed, I wish they could manage the lines more efficiently. Therefore, I give it 4 stars.
スライダー系の遊具が色々あって、楽しめました。あっという間に帰りの出発時間15時でした。
次はレンタカーで、終了までフルに居たいところです。
身長120cmジャストの下の子が、幾つかのアクティビティを通して貰えず残念でした。ルール通りなので致し方無いのですが、ギリギリアウトの身長で行かない方が良いですね。
あと、ランチ購入列の待ち時間だけは、いただけなかったです。家族の代表一人だけですけど30分以上並びました。持ち込み禁止ですし、だったらもっと効率良く回して欲しいです。
なので、⭐4です。
Aloha Hanamaru Papa,
Thank you for your feedback. We are looking to address the lines when purchasing lunch. Moving forward, we will ensure that lunch can be purchased at different locations.
We look forward to your next visit.
Aloha はなまるパパ、
ご意見を頂きありがとうございました。ランチをご購入いただく際の行列は何とかしたいと思っております。これからは違う場所でもランチが買えるようにしてまいります。
是非又のお越しをお待ち申し上げます。
