Absolutely wonderful experience. Must try the banana boat ride for an opportunity to see giant sea turtles. We saw like 20. So beautiful. The music was fantastic. Thank you all so much 🌺❤️🌈

The performance was outstanding , they were engaging from the moment you walked in and out. The food taste good however was cold with exception to the pork and chicken thighs were hot, but sweet potatoes, noodles and rice were cold and we had Royal package and first in line to eat so I was surprised to have those few items cold, the rolls were so delicious so grab 2

It was the best party, with only Japanese people, but everyone was very friendly. The staff was also kind and attentive. This was my second time, and it was great again.

日本人は私達ONLY。でも、とてもFRIENDLYなパーティーで最高でした。
スタッフも優しく丁寧でした。
２回目でしたが今回も最高でした。

I could tell there were whales, but I couldn't see them very well. The staff provided warm hospitality, making my experience enjoyable. The banana cake for a light snack had a homemade feel and was delicious. You can choose between tea and coffee.

鯨がいるのは分かりますが、あまりよく見えませんでした。スタッフの方々はあたたかいおもてなしで気分良く過ごすことができました。軽食のバナナケーキも手作りの感じがあって美味しかったです。紅茶がコーヒーが選べます。

One of our favorite events of the week. Crew was funny and professional. Beach volleyball was super fun. We saw two turtles while snorkeling! Also wonderful that they have a free shuttle for dropoff and pickup

A wonderful word: the sea. You can overlook the entire town, and it feels great. I definitely recommend it. Experiencing it firsthand is much more amazing than just seeing it from land.

素敵の一言　海　街を全て見渡し　気持ちの良さ　是非おすすめします。　陸から見るより実際に経験すると素晴らしい経験が出来ます。

The friendly service from the staff was impressive. The food was also wonderful and delicious. Recently, due to age, there are times when I can't finish a course meal, but both my husband and I finished everything. We will definitely go again on our trip to Hawaii!

気持ちの良いスタッフの接客が印象的です。料理も素晴らしく美味しかったです。最近年齢とともにコース料理を食べきれない事があるのですが夫婦揃って完食しました。ハワイ旅行の際は必ず行きます！

The previous day's bad weather may have caused rough waves, and although I was able to see a few turtles, there were not many fish. It's unfortunate, but it's nature, so there's nothing we can do about it.

前日が悪天候だったためか、波が荒くて魚も少し亀が何とか見れたけど、自然相手だから仕方がないけど、残念でした。

It was cold since we left early in the morning. The bus had the air conditioning on, so it was a good decision to bring a long-sleeved shirt. The cruise was comfortable, and we were able to see sea turtles and whales. It was a pity we didn't see any dolphins, but it was great to see the whales since they are only available in winter!

朝早く出発だったので、寒かったです。
バスも冷房が効いていたので、長袖持っていって正解でした。
クルーズは快適、ウミガメと、クジラが見れました。
イルカは残念でしたが、クジラの方が冬限定なので、見れて良かったです！

On this day, the sky was completely covered with clouds and there was a strong wind. It started to rain midway, and by the time we disembarked, there was a full-blown storm. Perhaps due to the strong winds, the waves were high and there were whitecaps, making it difficult to spot whales. However, there were several announcements on the ship about whale sightings, and my husband and I were able to see a spout once each. A few Japanese passengers who were on board with us also mentioned they saw a spout just once. Does seeing a spout mean you've seen a whale? I wonder if it was the right decision to set sail in that weather. If asked whether I would like to go again, I would say I do not want to. Even if the weather were good, it seems there is a set distance from which you can approach the whales, so I think it would be difficult to actually see the whales themselves. The coffee and light snacks were delicious (although the boat rocked so much that the coffee spilled...).

この日は空一面の雲に強い風、途中から雨が降り始め、下船するころには大嵐になっていました。強い風のためか波が高く白波が立ち、クジラ発見には難しい条件だったと思いますが、船内に何回かクジラ発見の放送が流れ、私たち夫婦は潮吹きを１度づつ見ることができました。一緒に乗っていた日本の方たち数人も潮吹きを１度だけ見たと言っていました。潮吹きを見たらクジラを見たことになるのか？あの天候で船を出すことは正解なのか？疑問です。また乗ってみたいかと言われれば、もう乗りたくありません。天候が良かったとしても、クジラに近寄れる距離が決まっているらしく、クジラ本体を見ることは難しいのではないかと思いました。コーヒーと軽食は美味しかったです（コーヒーがこぼれるほど揺れましたが・・・）

Husband was a US Navy vet and wanted to make sure he paid his respects at the Memorial. Had just enough time and we're not rushed.

My family loved this tour. The activities we fun and well managed. Kevin was a great tour guide.

My husband and I participated in this trip for our honeymoon.

Thanks to the favorable weather, the boat didn't sway, and we were able to enjoy the beautiful sea and the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the water.

As for the whales, we were able to see them multiple times during the trip. However, they were all quite far away, and we could only see their spouts and a bit of their black backs and tails. I think it was great just to see them, but if I had to say something, I wish we could have seen them a little closer.

新婚旅行で夫と2人で参加しました。

天気に恵まれたため船が揺れることもなく、綺麗な海や海からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めることができました。

肝心のクジラですが、乗船中何度も見ることができました。しかしいずれも遠いところで、潮吹きと黒い背中と尾鰭が少し見える程度。姿を見ることができただけでも良かったのだと思いますが、強いて言えば、もう少し近くで見れると良かったなと思います。

The instructor was cheerful and really got everyone excited, which made it a lot of fun. I thought the wind before taking off might be scary, but once I was in the air, it was completely not scary and very enjoyable. I wished I could have flown for a longer time!

インストラクターの方が陽気な方で盛り上げてくれて、とても楽しめました。
飛ぶ前の風が強く感じて怖いかなと思いましたが、飛び上がってしまえば全く怖くなく、楽しかったです。
もっと長時間飛んでいたかったです！

I have to say I really enjoyed the Chief's Luau! After I got past the fact that it was situated in a water park, and got to the actual venue, I was able to forget there was anything there but the Luau! The grounds and setting were lovely, and I had a beautiful view of the show. The food was plentiful and delicious, and the entertainment some of the best I've seen at a luau, and I've been to several. For authentic entertainment and a good experience, this one was great!!

The water was murky because the wind was strong. The explanatory video about the sea that you must watch before entering is only a few minutes long. It's better to wait at the exit. Once you leave, you can immediately take the free shuttle.

風が強かったので水が濁っていた。海に入る前に見る海の説明ビデオは数分ですが必ず見ないといけません。出口で待っていた方が良いです。出たらすぐ送迎の無料トラックに乗ることができます。

We went out to sea in a boat with a few groups and had a little boat riding experience, followed by parasailing in turns. We set up the parachute from the boat and took off from the moving boat. Gradually, the rope is extended, and we float up. The price varies depending on the length of the rope, and I chose the longest one at 150m. However, since we were moving in the boat, I couldn't tell if we actually reached 150m in height, but as you can see in the photos, it was really high. Of course, there’s no sound while flying. The flight lasts a few minutes, but it feels much longer.

As we ascended, my excitement grew, and I felt it was definitely worth it. Since I was holding my smartphone, I had to connect it to my arm with a strap; if I dropped it, I wouldn't be able to retrieve it from the sea. Be careful!

何組か一緒にボートで沖まで行き、ちょっとしたボートの乗船体験もでき、順番にパラセーリングです。船の上からパラシュートをセットして、走るボートの上から飛び立ちます。徐々にロープを伸ばして行きフワッと飛び立ちます。ロープの長さで金額が違いますが、私は1番長い150mを選択。でもボートで走りながらの為高さが150mなのか、斜めに上がる為分かりませんが、、、写真でもわかる様にすごく高いです。勿論飛んでる時は音がしません。数分のフライトですが、すごく長く感じます^_^
上がるとテンションも上がり、やって良かったなと、実感します。スマホを持ちながらなので腕にひもを繋いでないと、落としたら海なので探せません。ご注意を！

I was worried, but I'm glad I was able to see the whales properly. The explanations in Japanese were easy to understand. I recommend it.

心配でしたが、クジラがちゃんと見られてよかったです。日本語の説明もあって分かりやすかったです。オススメです。

It was thrilling, and I definitely want to participate again on my next trip to Hawaii. The instructors and the boat operators were fun people, and I was able to enjoy it without feeling scared!

スリル満点、次回のハワイでも必ず参加したいです、インストラクターの方、船の操縦の方も楽しい方達で恐怖を感じる事なく楽しめました〜

It was amazing!
The clarity of the water, the variety and size of the fish were truly impressive!
I even got to meet a honu and swim with it!

My English is at a basic education level, and that's fine.
The guide speaks slowly to make it easy to understand.
While driving, they introduce recommended shops.
We stopped at a parking area for a location explanation, then had time for a briefing on how to use the snorkel, swimming precautions, and ordering additional rental items.
We rented a boogie board, but other parties rented life jackets.

最高でした
透明度、魚の種類、大きさ本当に見応えがあります！
ホヌとも出会えて一緒に泳ぐことができました！！

英語は義務教育レベルで問題ないです。
ガイドさんがわかりやすいようにゆっくり話してくれます。
運転中はおすすめのお店の紹介。
一旦パーキングに止めてロケーションの説明の後シュノーケルの使い方遊泳時の注意、追加のレンタル品のオーダーの時間がありました。
うちはブギーボードレンタルしましたが、他のパーティはライフジャケットをみんなレンタルしてました。

A Japanese person named Momo guided us through the battleship Missouri. She was very kind and attentive. I was able to deeply feel the history, and it was a great experience.

戦艦ミズーリの中を、日本人のモモさんという方が案内してくれました。とても親切で丁寧でした。
歴史をじっくり感じられ、良い体験をしました。

My husband and I did the side by side tour and it was nothing short of amazing! The views were breathtaking and the tour guide was so knowledgeable about the land and gave fun facts about Hawaii and surrounding areas. At each stop the tour guides made sure everyone got their pictures and were willing to lend a hand in getting the best pictures of your group. Next time we will have to bring our kids and plan to do more activities at the ranch. We could have spend a whole day, or two doing it all. The property was clean and well managed and the air conditioned bathrooms were a plus! We would 10/10 recommend this activity!

We went to Hawaii and we loved it there. Now sandbar Hawaii at another level. Everything is including paddle boards, snorkeling, canoeing and you get live music and food. This was the cherry on top of our trip don’t plan on going without making this trip.

This was a great experience for my family. The rain did not stop us from enjoying the sites and learning about Hawaiin culture. Our tour guide was awesome and knowledgeable!

Originally, it was scheduled for January 30, but I received a call from Veltra the day before, asking me to change the date due to a warning being issued for the next day. So, I participated on February 1.
When I come to Hawaii, Hanauma Bay is an absolute must-visit and one of my favorite places. Although it was an early morning, I was able to enjoy it while there were fewer people. I encountered many fish and was very satisfied. The weather was great, and the view of Hanauma Bay from near the entrance was amazing!
Of course, I want to go again.

当初は1/30の予定でしたが、前日にベルトラさんから電話を頂き、明日は警報が出ているので日程を変更してくださいとのこと。そして2/1に参加させて頂きました。
ハワイに来たらハナウマ湾は絶対外せない大好きな場所。朝が早いけど人が少ないうちから楽しめました。たくさんの魚にも逢えて大満足でした。天候も良く、入場口付近から見たハナウマ湾は最高です！
勿論、また行きたいです。

I participated in the whale watching tour on the Star of Honolulu with a pickup from Waikiki (with snacks and drinks included). There were many participants on the large boat. Even though it was the rainy season in February, we were blessed with good weather and enjoyed the views of the blue sky and the deep blue sea from the boat. We also saw whales multiple times, including some mother and calf pairs, and got to witness them spouting water. It was a very satisfying whale watching experience. If you're coming to Waikiki, I highly recommend you join this tour!

ワイキキ送迎を付けてホエールウォッチ　スターオブホノルル号（軽食＆ドリンク付き）に参加しました。
大型船で参加者もたくさんいました。
雨季の２月での参加でしたがお天気にも恵まれ、青く晴れた空と真っ青な海が広がる船からの景色を楽しめました。
またクジラも何度も現れて潮吹きも何度も見られました。
親子のクジラも現れ大満足のホエールウォッチングになりました。
ワイキキに来る方はぜひ参加してみてください！オススメです！

At first, I was worried about whether I would be okay with heights, but once I got on the boat and it was our turn, soaring high into the sky, I felt amazing and was thrilled by the view.

最初は高所大丈夫かなと心配でしたが、いざボートに乗り込んで自分達の順番がきて、空高く舞い上がってみると、最高の気分、景色で興奮しました。

Aside from having a very hard time finding the place at the Four Seasons where the program was to take place, we had a wonderful time, learned fascinating information about the night sky and got to be guided through the sky with a powerful telescope. At the end of the session, our astronomer sent us photos of the planets and star clusters that we were able to see.

I loved this snorkeling adventure! The live music was really entertaining, and the lunch was yummy. I really liked that the staff who did the outfitting for your snorkel gear was attentive and caring and wanted to make sure you had a good experience! I liked that there was a small tow rope strung between the main vessel and the floating "lounge" area to help guide you through the water. The variety of activities was good too, with the banana rafts and the stand-up paddleboards. There was an activity here for every level of adventurer. I kind of wished the boat was a bit smaller and more intimate but I got used to the size quickly and really ended up enjoying the experience!

I participated in a trip with my mother and daughter. We arrived at Aloha Tower right at 8:00, but we couldn't board immediately and had to wait outside. The port's restroom was locked and unavailable for use.

The large ship has four decks, and after boarding, there was an explanation of whale watching in English, along with the offering of pineapple banana bread, coffee, tea, and water. I recommend going to get your food early as there is a line.

It took a while before we spotted any whales, but the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was beautiful, making the cruise satisfying. After a while, we saw a whale spouting water, and we could see its tail and dorsal fin. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any big jumps.

The trip was on a Saturday, and we were able to disembark around 11:00, which allowed us to take a taxi to the Kaka'ako Farmers Market.

母、娘の二人旅で参加しました。
8時ちょうどにアロハタワーに着きましたがすぐには乗船できず外で待ち時間がありました。港のトイレは鍵が掛かっており利用できませんでした。
4階まである大きな船で、乗船後英語でホエールウォッチングの説明がありパイナップルバナナブレッドとコーヒー・紅茶・お水の提供があります。並ぶので早めに取りに行くことをおすすめします。
沖へ出るまでなかなかくじらは現れなかったですが、海から見えるワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッドが美しくクルーズとして満足できました。
しばらくすると潮を吹いているクジラがおり、尾びれや背びれが見えました。残念ながら大ジャンプは見られませんでした。
参加日は土曜日で、11時頃には下船できたのでタクシーでカカアコファーマーズマーケットへ行く事ができました。
