Oahu
What a wonderful evening!
The boat is very elegant and has three decks with excellent viewing areas. The large windows are a plus, no matter where you are seated you will get a great view of Waikiki. My favorite part was the lounge area on the second deck, after dinner we enjoyed some cocktails listening to great Hawaiian Jazz music. The transportation was punctual and the staff is very friendly. The dinner buffet is good and there are options for everyone.
I had a really nice time with my friends at the Majestic, I would definitely recommend it for everybody.
Avoid the parking nightmare and go as early in the morning as possible for best visibility and fewer crowds.
This is my eighth time being taken care of by VELTRA. Every tour has been a hit, and this time's submarine tour was also very satisfying. I signed up for the Japanese guided tour at 10 AM, and it was a great decision! With the earphone guide tour, I believe the guide is the same for the entire itinerary, but I was able to get explanations about the fish swimming right in front of me in real-time. Thanks to that, I didn't miss seeing the sharks napping, the rays gracefully swimming in threes, or the sea turtles gliding by. The weather was on our side, with clear blue skies and calm waves. According to the captain, "Even if the sea is a bit rough, the underwater experience is hardly shaken." Departing from Waikiki Beach meant a short travel time, allowing us plenty of time for activities in the afternoon. I will look for more fun tours to join next year, so thank you in advance!
VELTRAさんにお世話になること8回目。
毎回どのツアーもハズレなしでしたが,今回の潜水艦ツアーも大満足。
10時の日本語ガイドツアーを申込みましたが,大正解!
イヤホンガイドツアーだと,きっと全行程共通のガイドだと思いますが,
リアルタイムで目の前を横切るお魚達の説明をしてもらえます。
おかげさまで,昼寝中のサメや3匹で優雅に舞い泳ぐエイや,
ウミガメの遊泳も見逃すことはありませんでした。
お天気も味方してくれて,青空の下,波も穏やかでした。
船長さん曰く,「海上が少々荒れていても,海中は殆ど揺れません。」とのこと。
ワイキキビーチからの出発で所要時間も短く,午後からもタップリ行動できました。
来年もまた楽しいツアーを見つけて参加しますので,よろしくお願いいたします。
I chose the plan with snacks.
Although the morning is a bit early, I can return by lunchtime, so even if I get a little tired, I can rest at the hotel and then go out again or spend my time freely.
I checked the tide schedule in advance and chose the best day during my stay to book. I think the water came up to about my knees to my waist. The feeling of standing over the vast sea with land far away was a rare experience that I don't usually get.
The snorkeling was just the right length for beginners, moving straight while glancing at the coral and turning back at a certain point, making it a very simple course.
You don't need to worry about "breathing" like in swimming, but the water is deep enough that you can't touch the bottom (and touching the coral can cause injury), so if you tend to feel anxious about not being able to grab onto something in an emergency, it's better to stay close to the staff. The staff is attentive and will quickly provide flotation devices to help if anything happens.
It was my first time snorkeling, and although it was brief, seeing the fish swimming with my own eyes was another valuable experience.
Lastly, although it's labeled as a sandwich, it's a simple one with ham and cheese between slices of bread, so don't expect something like the large hamburgers you might find locally.
スナック付きプランを選択しました。
朝は少し早いですが、お昼には帰って来れるので、ちょっと疲れてもホテルで休憩して、また外に出たり自由に過ごせます。
潮の満ち引きは一応事前に調べて、滞在期間中で一番良い日を選んで申し込みました。
膝上~腰下くらいまで水が来ていたと思います。
陸が遠くに見え、広い海の上に立っている感覚は普段得られない貴重な体験でした。
シュノーケリングは初めての人にちょうどよい短さで、珊瑚を横目に見ながらまっすぐに進み、ある地点で折り返す、といった至極単純コースになります。
水泳で言うところの、「息継ぎ」はしなくて良いのですが、足が着かないくらい深い(+珊瑚に触れるとケガする)ので、いざという時どこかにつかまったり出来ないことにすぐ不安を覚える人は、スタッフさんの側に居た方が安心です。
スタッフさんもよく見ているので、何かあったらすぐ浮く道具を寄越して助けてくれます。
シュノーケリングは初めてで、自分の目で魚たちが泳いでいるのを見れるのは、短い間でしたが、これまた貴重な体験でした。
最後に。サンドイッチと書かれていますが、食パンにハムとチーズを挟んだ程度の簡素なものなので、(現地の大きなハンバーガーのようなイメージとか)期待はしないように。
It's like a pool similar to Summerland in Japan. There are various pools, so kids won't get bored. I think it's an incredibly fun place for children.
Even kids who are dragged along shopping in Waikiki or Ala Moana every day will forgive you if you take them here!
日本でいえばサマーランドのようなプールです。
いろいろなプールがあって子供が飽きるようなことはありません。
子供にとっては最高に楽しいところだと思います。
毎日ワイキキやアラモアナでの買い物に付き合わされている子供も、ここに連れて行けば許してくれるでしょう!
It was a class full of beginners, but most of the participants were able to stand on the board. I was not confident due to my poor sense of balance, but I was relieved that I could get on from the first time. The staff were friendly, creating a great atmosphere, and I was able to enjoy myself as if I were part of the group. However, I struggled with paddling and my arms were sore... But it was a good experience.
初心者の方々ばかりのクラスでしたが、ほとんどの方がボードに立てていました。私はバランス感覚が悪く自信がなかったのですが、一回目から乗ることができて安心しました。スタッフの皆さんが仲良しなので雰囲気がよく、仲間に入れてもらったように楽しく過ごすことができました。ただ、パドリング不慣れで腕がきつかった。。でもいい経験になりました。
Thank you for participating in the surfing lesson. We strive to provide careful instruction so that even beginners can stand up from the very first lesson, and we are delighted to hear that you were able to do so this time. Our staff gets along well and enjoys working together, so we look forward to the opportunity to go into the ocean with you again next time. MAHALO!
サーフィンレッスンへのご参加ありがとうございます。
初心者の方でも一回目から立てるように丁寧な指導を心掛けており、今回立つことが出来たとのこと嬉しく思います。
スタッフ一同仲が良く楽しく仕事してますので、また次回来られた際は一緒に海に入れることを楽しみにしています。
MAHALO!
We went with nine family members to Aulani, which included a shuttle service (10 minutes one way) and free drinks. The high school, middle school, and upper elementary school children had a lot of fun on the slides. Time flew by, so we had a quick lunch ($10~). Outside food and drinks were not allowed. We also didn’t use the paid lockers. There are many height restrictions for the slides, so they are more suitable for upper elementary school students. There is also a pool for smaller children. I thought there would be designated seating, but we had to secure our own spots in the available areas, and since the drinks were carbonated, we ended up buying orange drinks from the vending machine. There were only a limited number of floaties, so we had to wait in line for them, and the slides were not always open. They opened and closed in turns.
We played until just before the 3:15 PM meeting time and went straight to the hotel pool in our swimsuits. I recommend this for those who find the hotel pool lacking!
家族9人でアウラニから送迎(片道10分)とフリードリンク付きで行きました。高校生、中学生、小学高学年の子どもたちは、とても楽しくスライダーをやりました。時間があっという間でしたので昼食は手短に($10~)。飲食持ち込み禁止。有料ロッカーも使用しませんでした。スライダーは身長制限が多いので小学生高学年以上向き。小さい子用のプールもあります。指定のシートがあると思いきや、空いてる所を自分で確保しなくてはならず、ドリンクも炭酸でしたので、結局自販機でオレンジなど購入しました。決まった数の浮き輪しかなく、浮き輪待ちで並び、また常にスライダーはオープンしているわけではありません。順番で開いたり閉まったりと。
15時15分の集合ギリギリまで遊び、水着のままバスに乗りホテルのプールに直行でした(^^)
ホテルのプールに物足りなくなった方にはオススメです!
A great tour! Fantastic to see some of the locations used in the filming, and to sit in Steve's back garden and house!
This was truly a bucket list experience! The helicopter ride was absolutely incredible, the view of waterfalls and the volcano just awesome! KUddos to our young female pilot.
The sandbar has clear water and no waves, making it enjoyable for couples and families with children. We were advised to snorkel barefoot (probably because flip-flops would come off), and while swimming over the coral, we got a bit cut on our feet due to the crowded area. I recommend wearing marine shoes if possible. Since this is overseas, it's at your own risk. The round-trip bus to the sandbar can be cold, so I suggest bringing a long-sleeved jacket and a bath towel since you'll be returning wet. You can see fish and turtles up close, which is a lot of fun. The female staff were very cheerful and hardworking, making the experience enjoyable. The local staff were also bright and friendly. I think it's a great place for children, adults, individuals, couples, and families to enjoy.
サンドバーは水もきれいで波もなくカップル、子供連れでも楽しめます。
素足でシュノーケリングをするように言われ(ビーチサンダルだと脱げてしまうからだと思います。)サンゴの上を泳いで私たちは前がつまっていてサンゴで足を少し切ってしまいました。
出来たらマリンシューズの着用をお勧めします。
海外なので自己責任です。
サンドバーまでの往復のバスが寒いので長袖の上着、濡れたまま帰るのでバスタオルをお持ちすることをお勧めします。
魚や亀が身近に見られ楽しめます。スタッフの女性がすごく明るく一生懸命なので大変楽しかったです。
現地人スタッフも明るく良しです。
子供から大人、個人、カップル、家族で楽しめると思います。
I made a reservation on-site the day before, and the pickup was smooth and without any issues. It was my first experience with parasailing, and I signed up for the 120 m option.
It was higher than I imagined, and I was a bit nervous at first, but I was overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery. However, when the wind blew and it swayed a bit, it was a little scary.
I was excited when I was lowered into the sea and then brought back up (laughs). The crew and other passengers were all foreigners, but everyone was in high spirits and we had a great time!
I missed the chance to order the photos taken by the crew for $30 because I wasn't sure when to do it (I think they explained it after boarding...), but luckily, another passenger took some pictures for me, so I was able to keep a memory of the experience.
前日現地で予約しましたが、迎えも滞りなくスムーズでした。パラセーリング初体験、120 mの申し込みです。
想像以上に高く、最初はビクビクしていましたが景色のキレイさに圧倒。でもやはり風が吹いて揺れると少し怖かったです。
一度海に下されまた上げられ、興奮しました(笑)
乗務員・乗客が私達以外外国の方でしたが、皆さんテンションが高く楽しめました!
30ドルで乗務員の方が撮ってくれる写真は注文するタイミングが分からず逃してしまいましたが、(多分乗船後説明していたかと・・)一緒の乗客の方が撮ってくれたので、記念には残せて良かったです。
First, there was a long wait at the entrance for checks on drinks, food, and floaties, which caused a significant time loss. Additionally, there were too many attractions that were not operating. Some started and stopped after a while, and it seemed like there were not enough staff; one water slide had only one person managing four slides, leading to a huge time loss. There was only one place to eat (burger-related), and the fries were excessive, causing me to feel nauseous and have an upset stomach. The wave pool had large waves (which was quite fun; the height is unimaginable in Japan), but be careful as the deep areas are 2 meters deep! The lifeguards were very strict, getting loud if you just touched the rope. There are plenty of floaties available, so no worries there. It might be good for thrill-seekers who love roller coasters, but families should be prepared. Before I knew it, it was time to gather, and I couldn't fully enjoy the experience, feeling unsatisfied. My child said they preferred the hotel pool.
まず、飲み物食べ物浮き輪持ち込み禁止で入り口でのチェックにやたら時間かかりタイムロス。さらにやってないアトラクションが多過ぎ。時間が経つと始まったり、ストップになったりスタッフが少ないのか、あるウォータースライダーは4つの滑り台を一人でさばいているのですごいタイムロス。食事も食べられる所は、1か所のみ(バーガー系)ポテト多過ぎ胸焼けしてしまいお腹くだった。波のプールは、波が大きく(これはけっこう楽しい。日本では考えられない高さ)深いところは2mあるので要注意!ロープに触れただけでピッピピッピ監視員がうるさい。浮き輪はたくさんあるので心配なし。絶叫系スライダーメインの人はいいかも。家族連れは覚悟して行ったほうが…。で気が付いたら集合時間。満喫できず消化不良だった。子供はホテルのプールのほうが良かったと。
My family and I enjoyed it so much we can't wait to do it again!
Margo was awesome. The flight was so much fun and exillerating. I highly recommend this company
We ar a family of 4 and we really enjoyed the time we spent at the ranch (very beautiful place it lself), the activities made the experience even better. We choose the The valley, The mountain and Secret Island! It was a blast!
First time parasailing for my teenage son and I. It was the best experience and can't wait to do it again !!!
I participated with my 10-year-old niece. At first, she was scared when we were going up, but once we got to the top and settled down, she said, "This is fun!" I'm glad we participated.
10才の姪と参加しました。最初、揚がるときは怖かったけれど、のぼって落ち着いたら「楽しい❗」と言っていました。参加して、良かったー
I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time participating in parasailing. I was excited to try it. At first, it felt really high and I was scared, but I quickly started to enjoy the view. I want to do it again.
何回かハワイに来ているが、初めてパラセイリングに参加。わくわくで望んだ。最初、凄く高く感じて、怖かったが直ぐに景色を楽しめた。また、参加したい。
The weather was nice and we were fortunate. The scenery was very beautiful, and the food was delicious. I would like to participate again when I go to Hawaii.
天気は良くてめぐまれました。景色はとてもよく、食事もおいしかったです。
また、ハワイに行った際は、参加したいと思ってます
Very nice did the bothe and had a lot of fun nice and helpful staffe
We enjoyed having you at H2O Sports! See you again soon!
I read the reviews and decided to give it a try from 150m. It was higher than I expected, but the sea was beautiful and the view was great, making it a lot of fun! I also requested the $30 photo package, and they took over 100 photos, including scenic shots, which became a wonderful keepsake. I would love to participate again!
レビューを読み150mで挑戦しました。
思ったより高くて海はキレイで景色も良くとっても楽しかったです^_^
30ドルの写真もお願いしましたが景色の写真も含め100枚以上撮っていただき記念になりました。
また参加したいです☆
The weather was nice, and I had a great time. There are many thrilling activities that you won't find in Japanese pools, and I think even adults can enjoy them.
天気もよくたいへん楽しく過ごすことができました。日本のプールにはない迫力あるアクティビティが多く、大人でも楽しめると思います。
My husband and I would highly recommend this excursion to everyone that's considering it. We liked that once we arrived at Pearl Harbour, our tickets were ready and given to us. There was no waiting in lines only to tell us our tour time would be many hours later!!! (If you go on your own, your ticket may instruct you to come back 3 or more hours laters since it books up daily). Booking through this company kept from having to deal with all of that! We had enough time to tour the grounds before our show and ride to the Arizona Memorial. Then, we traveled by bus to the USS Missouri. We decided to take the guided tour and still had time to explore the extras on our own before we had to meet for the bus for our return trip. This excursion was very informative, and we would do it again!
The parasailing itself was awesome and the captain of the boat and the guy helping were awesome, but I did get sick so that put a downer on the day.
This was my first time participating. It was my husband, me, our son who is in the second year of middle school, and our daughter who is in the fifth grade, so there were four of us.
When it was our turn, we were all loaded onto the ride in no time. My son and I were on the sides, while my husband was in the middle with our fifth-grade daughter on his lap.
I thought it would be two people per seat, so I was surprised for a moment... but there was no time to ask questions before we started.
I wonder how safe it was for four people to ride together... It felt like they put us all together just to save time...
Also, my husband looked like he was struggling to hold our fifth-grade daughter on his lap, and in the photos, only his legs were visible because her face was covered.
The experience itself was fun, and thankfully, we finished without any accidents, but I keep feeling uneasy because I thought we would be riding two by two.
初めての参加です。
主人、私、息子中学2年生、娘小学5年生での4人参加でした。
順番がきて、あっという間に4人一緒に乗せられました。両サイドが私と息子、真ん中で主人と膝に小学5年の娘を挟む形で乗せられたんです。
てっきり2人ずつだと思っていたので
えっ!?と驚いたのも束の間…質問する隙もなくスタート。
安全上、4人乗りってどうだったんだろう…
なんだか時短のために4人一緒にされたんじゃないか、て気がして…(・・;)
あとさすがに5年生にもなる娘を膝にかかえていた主人は重そうでしたし、顔がかぶって写真には足しか写ってなかったです…
体験自体は楽しかったですし、
事故もなく無事に終わりましたので良かったのですが、2人ずつ乗れると思っていたので
思い返しては すごくモヤモヤしています。
We had a wonderful time at de Kualoa Ranch. We chose The mountain , the valley and Secret Island! All these activities were great for all of us!
The Ranch is totally amazing and beautiful itself, the activities make it even more awesome! !!!!
We love it!
Meu marido, minha filha de 13 anos e meu filho de 6 se divertiram muito!!! Eu recomendo! !!
My husband, my 13 old daughter and my 6 years old boy had a great time!!! I highly recommend!!
It was my first visit in nine years, and with the addition of new attractions, I was able to enjoy a day with my grown-up kids. I believe it's a place where you can experience a sense of openness unique to Hawaii, different from the beach.
9年ぶりの訪問になりましたが、新しいアトラクションも加わり、大きくなった子供たちとも一日楽しめることができました。ビーチとは違う意味で、ハワイならではの開放感を味わえるところだと思います。
Had an awesome time, food was good, entertainment was good....would do it again in a heartbeat! I would recommend this cruise to everyone whose going to be in honolulu.
We participated as a family of three, including my fifth-grade son. It was his first time snorkeling, and he was a bit nervous, but the female guide called the day before to confirm and explained how to use the equipment in a way that was easy for children to understand, so we were able to participate with peace of mind. She held my son's hand while swimming the whole time. There was a line to watch the video before entering the ocean, but we didn't have to wait. The trolley that went back and forth on the slope was also convenient.
On the day, I borrowed a wetsuit and swam, which helped with the temperature difference and prevented sunburn. The last time I swam without a guide, I had a terrible sunburn on my back... Unfortunately, we didn't see any turtles, but the guide worked hard to find them, and we saw more types of fish than when I went individually before, so I was satisfied. My son seemed to have a lot of fun and said it felt like he was inside a fish tank! He was happy and said he wanted to participate again. Thank you very much!
The dining information about Hawaii you provided on the way back was also helpful.
小5の息子も一緒の家族3人で参加しました。子供はシュノーケリングが初めてで少し緊張していましたが、ガイドの女性が前日に確認の電話を入れてくれたり、当日子供にもわかりやすい言葉で道具の使い方を説明してくださったので、安心して参加出来ました。子供とずっと手をつないで泳いでくださいました。海に入る前に見る映像で行列が出来ていましたが、私達は並ぶ必要がなかったです。坂を往復するトロリーも楽でした。
当日急遽ウエットスーツを借りて泳いだのですが、おかげで水温の差も日焼けもなくて良かったです。以前ガイドなしで泳いだ時は、背中の日焼けが大変でしたので‥。残念ながら亀は見れなかったのですが、ガイドの女性が一生懸命探してくれましたし、以前個人で行った時より多い種類の魚が見られましたから、満足です。子供はとても楽しかったらしく、水槽の中に入ったみたいだった!また参加したいと喜んでいました。ありがとうございました♫
帰りに教えていただいたハワイの食事情報もためになりました(^^)
Thank you for participating with your whole family! I'm glad to hear that you all enjoyed your first snorkeling experience. Hanauma Bay is truly a beautiful ocean where you can swim with a variety of fish. Please come back to see the fish of Hanauma again. I hope to show you the Honu next time. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
ご家族皆様でのご参加、ありがとうございます!初めてのシュノーケリングをとても楽しんでいただけたようで私も嬉しいです。ハナウマ湾は本当に多くの種類のお魚達と一緒に泳げる綺麗な海です。また是非ハナウマのお魚達に会いに来てくださいね。次回はHonuをお見せできればと思っています。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
