The Luau was very rushed. I did not have the opportunity to complete all the crafts while also watching and participating in the events. I would have liked if my bus had arrived earlier to give my family time to enjoy all the Luau had to offer. The food was mediocre. We loved the headbands and bracelets. The view from the Luau was absolutely beautiful.

The tour began with a punctual pick-up at the pre-specified location. Our driver, Marlon, was very professional, friendly and very knowledgeable! Upon our arrival at the Pearl Harbor, he gave us detailed instructions about the timeline of our visit. He advised on how we could make best use of our time there with visiting the different sites. All went very smoothly!

I was looking forward to the luau. I had heard that there were few Japanese guests and that it was English only, but it was disappointing that the staff who assisted us made a clear unpleasant face and spoke to other staff about how troublesome we were. Even though I couldn't perfectly understand English, I got the gist of it.
I also received a simple tattoo, and the service for that was good. The show was very impressive and wonderful, and since we had deluxe seats where food was served, it was great.
The $24 card you receive upon entry might be a good deal for those who drink alcohol, but for those who don't, you can use the remaining amount at the concession stand, although it closes early after the show, so I recommend using it before the show starts.
We walked from the nearby Aulani, and it took less than 10 minutes. If you go before 4:30 PM, you will have to wait outside. The leis you receive at the entrance (men receive kukui leis, and women receive flower leis) cannot be taken back to Japan, so I wish I had requested a kukui instead.
楽しみにしていたルアウ。日本人の利用者が少なく、英語ONLYとは聞いていましたが、対応してくれたスタッフがあからさまに嫌な顔をして他のスタッフに私たちの担当になって面倒くさい~と話しかけていたので残念でした。英語がパーフェクトに聞き取れなくともニュアンスでわかりました。
簡易タトゥーも施していただきましたが、こちらの対応はよかったです。
ショーはとっても迫力があり素晴らしく、食事もサーブしていただけるデラックス席でしたので良かったです。
入場の際にいただける24ドル分のカード、お酒を飲まれる方にはお得かもしれませんが、お酒を飲まない人は、残りを売店で使えますがショー終了後は早めに閉まってしまうので、ショーが始まるまでに使うことをお勧めします。
近隣のアウラニから歩いたので、10分かかりませんでした。
16:30前に行くと外で待つことになります。入口でもらえるレイ(男性はククイレイ、女性はフラワーレイ)日本にはお花を持ち帰れないので、ククイを希望するとよかったなと思いました。

On my first trip to Hawaii, I decided to join a tour because it was difficult to travel far on my own. Even though the hotel I stayed at was quite local, they came to pick me up at the front desk. Both Chieko, who came to pick me up, and Dan, the guide, were very kind. Dan speaks fluent Japanese, so I think even those who don't understand English can participate with peace of mind. During the round trip, they shared various recommendations for delicious restaurants and information about the towns we passed through. They also provided information about the places we planned to visit the next day, which was very helpful.
After arriving at Hanauma Bay, we matched our fins and masks. They had a lot of sizes available, so I could use one that fit me well. They also took care of our valuables, and each person was lent a mat. The scenery at Hanauma Bay was stunning, and I was already moved before even entering the water. The underwater view was also very beautiful. A friend who joined me was snorkeling for the first time, but the guide was always there to support us, so we were able to enjoy it. We swam quite a bit while searching for sea turtles, and my friend was a bit tired, but was very impressed when they finally saw a sea turtle. After coming out of the water, there was even a service with snacks and water. It was truly fun. We were picked up at noon and could return by evening, so there was time for dinner and shopping afterward, making it a great option for those with a short stay.
There are many pigeons on the sandy beach of Hanauma Bay, but be careful! If you feed even one snack, they will gather around and perch on your arms, leaving you scratched up!
初めてのハワイ旅行で、個人で遠くまでの移動が大変だったので参加して見ました。泊まっていたホテルが、かなりローカルホテルだったのにホテルのフロントまで迎えにきてもらえました。迎えに来てくれたちえこさんも、ガイドのダンさんもとても親切でした。ダンさんは、日本語ペラペラなので、英語が解らない人でも安心して参加できると思います。送迎の往復では、美味しいオススメのお店や通る町などについて色々教えて頂けました。翌日に訪れる予定の場所の情報なども教えて頂けました。とても役にたちました。ハナウマ湾に到着後にフィンやマスクを合わせます。サイズも沢山持ってきてくれているので自分にあったものを使えました。貴重品なども預かって貰えるし、一人に一つゴザを貸して貰えます。ハナウマ湾は、とにかく景色が綺麗で海に入る前から感動しっぱなしでした。海の中もとても綺麗でした。一緒に参加した友人が、シュノーケル初めてでしたが、ずっとガイドさんがフォローしてくれていたので、楽しめることが出来ました。ウミガメを探すのに結構泳ぎ、友人は少し疲れてましたが、初めて見たウミガメにとても感動していました。海からあがるとお菓子とお水のサービスまでありました。本当に楽しかったです。お昼にピックアップで夕方には帰って来れるので、帰ってからディナーや買い物に行く時間もあるので、短い滞在のかたにもオススメです。
ハナウマ湾の砂浜には沢山鳩がいますが、お菓子を一つでもあげてしまうと沢山集まってきて腕などにとまり傷だらけになるのでご注意!

There were quite a few participants, so since the car was a bit cramped, they kindly suggested, "How about the front seat?" and I was able to sit in the front without hesitation. The organizer and driver had worked in Japan, so they guided us to the location in simple English and Japanese. The staff also responded in easy-to-understand English, and everyone was very kind, so I think even those who can't speak any English can participate with peace of mind.
The beach had a powdery sand feel, which was very pleasant, and it really made me feel like I was in Hawaii. However, as a snorkeling spot, it might be a bit lacking. In the afternoon, I rented a bicycle and explored Kailua Town. I went into supermarkets and used bookstores, allowing me to experience Hawaiian culture in ways not found in guidebooks. On the way back, they also stopped at a scenic spot for us to take photos.
While there wasn't anything particularly thrilling, it was a plan that allowed for a leisurely swim at the beach, strolling around town, and enjoying a relaxed drive along the way. I think adding such a plan in between more exciting tours can provide a nice balance.
結構な参加者さんがいたので、車が少し狭かった為、「助手席にどう?」と声をかけてくれたので、遠慮なく助手席に乗せてもらいました。主催者兼運転手さんは日本で仕事をしていたこともあり、簡単な英語と日本語でガイドをしながら現地まで連れていってくれました。スタッフの方も解りやすい英語で答えてくれたり、とても親切な方ばかりですので、全く英語が話せないという方も安心して参加できると思います。ビーチの方は、パウダーサンドみたいな感じでとても気持ちよく、ハワイに来たなーという気分を十分に味わえますが、シュノーケリングスポットとしては、ちょっと物足りないかなと。午後は自転車をレンタルしてカイルアタウンを散策しました。スーパーとか古本屋さんにも入って、ハワイの生活文化に触れられたりと、ガイドブックにはない楽しみ方も出来ます。また、帰りの道中にも絶景スポットで車を停めてくれて、写真を撮ったりしました。特に「これ、スゲーー!」ということはなく、あくまでのんびりビーチで泳いだり、プラプラ街を散策したり、道中のんびりドライブを楽しむことが出来るプランですが、刺激的なツアーの合間にこういうプランを入れると、良いエッセンスになると思います。

The luau was an overall great experience. It was my 2nd time i've been here so i decided to take my girlfriend here since it was her first time in Hawaii. Good entertainment and a few small activities where you can make flower headbands, bracelets, and temporary tattoo's that are complimentary. Drinks are reasonably priced but the price of the drinks listed on there menu are of the drinks smallest size. They don't really specify on their menu that they have a s,m,l,souvenir and prices differ from that shown on the screen but I had no complaints we had a balance on a card that allowed us to have two rounds of drinks for free. Definitely have to come on an empty stomach. They provide you with enough food and you can come for seconds. Definitely would recommend going.

There were fewer Japanese participants, but there were Japanese instructions, and it was fun. We saw a sea turtle right after the boat left, and we also spotted rays. We encountered many pods of wild dolphins.
However, I got seasick right away, which was tough. I didn't think I was that prone to motion sickness, but it seems that smaller boats can make you feel queasy. It's a good idea to have motion sickness medication prepared. Breakfast and lunch were included, but the staff advised that those who are prone to seasickness should eat a light breakfast or skip it to avoid feeling sick. Unfortunately, I had already eaten by that time...
But snorkeling with the wild dolphins and enjoying the beautiful sea was amazing.
日本人参加者は少なめでしたが、日本語の案内もあり、楽しかったです。船がでてすぐにウミガメに会えたし、エイも見えました。野生イルカはたくさんの群れに出会えました。
ただ、すぐに船酔いしてしまい、大変でした。乗り物酔いはそんなにし易い方ではなかったはずなんですが、小型の船だとやっぱり酔いやすいです。酔い止めを用意しておいた方が安心です。朝食とランチ付きですが、酔いやすい人は朝食は少なめか食べない方が酔いにくいですよ、とスタッフにアドバイスされました。その時には私は食べちゃった後でしたが。。。
でも、野生イルカやキレイな海のシュノーケリングは最高でした。

We participated as a family of three. We took a boat out to sea, and from there, we started parasailing. There were three groups on the boat, including us. We were the first to fly, and since two of us were going together, I thought I would be alone, but surprisingly, we ended up flying together as a group of three. Since there were three of us, the balance was a bit off, and we had to hold onto the rope. However, flying at 180 meters was high, and it was thrilling with amazing views, so it was great. In the end, we were dropped into the sea a little, but that became a memorable experience. We'll definitely do it again next time.
家族3人で参加。沖合までボートで行き、そこからパラの開始。ボートには私たちを含めて3組。一発目から私たち家族が飛ぶことになり、二人で飛ぶんだから、私は一人だなと思ってたらなんと、3人で飛ぶことに。3人だからバランスが悪く、ロープ持ってました。でも180M は高かったけど、スリル満点、景色最高でよかったですよ。最後海に少し落とされましたけど、それも思い出になりました。次回もします。

I had a great time! However, most of the attractions required us to climb hills and stairs, and many of the inflatable rings were large and heavy, so we got tired carrying them up and sliding down. It was really fun.
Also, there were quite a few leaves and bugs floating in the pool, and since we mostly walked barefoot, the floor was really hot, which was tough. To top it off, some of the attractions occasionally stopped, possibly due to time limits, and there were times when there were no attendants around, so there were things we couldn't play on, which was disappointing.
とっても楽しかった♪ただ、ほとんどのアトラクションが坂道&階段をかけのぼらなくてはいけなく、浮き輪も大きくて重たいものを自分達で運んで滑りおりてくるものがおおいので、疲れました。 とっても楽しかったです。
忠、落ち葉や虫がそこそこプールに浮かんでいたり、ほとんど裸足で歩くのですが、床がかなり熱いし、大変でした。極めつけは、時間制なのか遊具が時々ストップしていること、監視員みたいな人がいなくなるので、遊べなかったものがあり残念でした。

Six groups, including us, experienced parasailing. Among them, there was one other Japanese group besides us.
The jet took all six groups out to sea. Then, one by one, they pulled up the parachute with the jet. If you go first, you will be on the jet for the duration until the remaining five groups finish. If you go last, you will have to wait for all five groups to finish. Either way, the time spent on the jet remains the same.
The waiting time can be a bit tough, but when you are actually experiencing it, you are enveloped in your own world, quietly enjoying the moment. It was a lot of fun!
In addition to the application fee, I paid $30 for DSLR photography and $20 for tips.
私たちを含め、6組がパラセイリングを体験しました。そのうち日本人は私たちともう一組でした。
6組を乗せ、ジェットは沖へ。
そして順番にジェットで引っ張る形でパラシュートを上げていきます。
一番はじめに体験すればその後はずっと残り5組が終わるまでジェットに揺られます。
一番さいごに体験すれば5組をずっと待ち続けることになります。
どちらにせよジェットに揺られる長さは変わりません。笑
待ち時間は少しきついものがありますが、実際に体験しているときは音も無く静かに自分たちの世界で包まれます。
とても楽しかったです!

Aloha. Thanks for the review. Some days Hanauma Bay is super clear and other days not so good. It depends on the tide and wave conditions. Usually low tide and winter months have the best visibility. We hope you can join us another time when the ocean is clearer.

A year and a half ago, I intended to sign up for Sandbar but mistakenly went on a tour to Heaven's Sea Kailua. I confused angels with heaven, didn't read carefully, and jumped at the chance because the price was cheap (of course). I didn't realize my mistake until the day of the tour, when I overheard a conversation between other guests and the guide in the car: "Wait!!! You're not taking us to Sandbar???" I couldn't say anything at that point... So, finally being able to come to Sandbar was quite emotional for me. It lived up to my expectations, and I truly enjoyed it. Both Angel's Sea (Sandbar) and Heaven's Sea (Kailua) have become wonderful memories.
一年半前、サンドバーに申込むつもりが間違えて天国の海カイルア観光に行ってしまいました。天使と天国を見間違え、よく読まずしかも料金がやすかった(当たり前)で飛びついたのです。そのまま間違いに気づかず、当日お迎えの車の中で他のお客さんとガイドさんとの会話で「え!!!サンドバーへ連れて行ってもらえるんじゃないの???」と・・今更口には出せず・・・。と、言うこともあり、サンドバーにやっと来れた。と感慨もひとしおでした。期待通りで本当に満喫できました。天使の海(サンドバー)も天国の海(カイルア)も良い思い出となってます。

This was my second trip to Hawaii with my friend. We were looking for activities to enjoy nature, and we came across this tour. Since it included hotel pickup, the meeting went smoothly. I thought it was considerate that they left a message on the hotel voicemail regarding time changes (although we didn't know how to check the voicemail and ended up waiting, haha).
Also, since the activity started in the afternoon, we were able to enjoy a leisurely breakfast before participating. It was my first time at Hanauma Bay, and I was amazed at how well the natural environment is preserved, and the sea was truly beautiful! We were fortunate with the weather, and the scenery was fantastic.
Our guides, Dan and Chieko, were very kind and provided excellent instruction, following us closely even in the water. At the beach in Hanauma Bay, we encountered mongooses and crabs! Underwater, there were schools of fish, as well as colorful fish, and the most impressive sight was the sea turtles. We were able to get very close to a sea turtle swimming gracefully. (Note: Touching sea turtles is prohibited in Hawaii.)
They provided snorkeling sets and mats for our belongings, and after the activity, there were drinks and snacks available. You can also leave a few valuables with them. They upload the photos taken underwater to Facebook, so you can download them.
It was so much fun that I will definitely participate again! Next time, I would love to try diving as well!

My girlfriend and I went on a Star of Honolulu dinner cruise one Friday and we had a blast!
We arrived early and had some drinks before boarding the ship and were greeted with a performance of beautiful Hawaiian dancers. They kept dancing all the time while people were boarding, it was so pretty.
On board everybody was very friendly and welcoming, it felt great. They had to manage a lot of people getting on the ship but the staff seemed relaxed and genuinely happy that we were on board. Our server was particularly sweet, she worked so hard all evening. Although she was incredibly busy she even took the time to chat with us (we both share the same name and were joking around about it). The welcome drink was great (Mai Tai)! And dinner as well. It was so much to eat I was totally stuffed at the end. Steak, veggies, mashed potatoes, and crab legs as much as we could eat (warning: you will think you can eat more but it's already so much you cannot!). All finished off with yummy ice cream desert and coffee. The welcome drink was included, additional drinks had to be paid for but the prices were absolutely reasonable for the type of cruise! The route was beautiful and took us out towards Diamond Head. Even though there were a lot of people on board there is enough room to walk around and get a good spot to watch the sunset or take pictures. Later they started an evening show with lots of different costumes which was fun! We sat very close to the performance and they were again beautiful to watch. After the show they even encouraged everybody to stand up and dance! That was so much fun. Some people were shy but the crew had so much energy themselves they danced and danced and got many people up. Time just flew by! It was so beautiful to see the island and Waikiki/Honolulu from the distance, the lights, night setting in. Definitely recommended as a special trip for your vacation or a very romantic special date with your loved one :)

There wasn't a lot of options in the afternoon activities like in the morning. Overall, we enjoyed the tour very much.

It was an enjoyable, memorable, unforgettable, and breathtaking Dinner Cruise celebrating my 60th birthday on August 31, 2014 with "Three Star Classic Steak & Lobster Dinner" all the way from Toronto, Canada. Me and 13 guests were very pleased from Customer Service (very friendly staff), food and beverages, and atmosphere. I will surely strongly recommend to all Canadians and non-Canadians. The greatest thing... I felt I was the "STAR" of Honolulu Dinner Cruise guest at the time, as I got lots of attention from STAFF and GUESTS greeting me "Happy birthday." In addition, one of the Polynesian dancers, Emmy C. my cousin daughter watching her dancing, added my day celebrating another Milestone. She and all her co-dancers and all the entertainers did a great job! Kudos!
I will also to thank VELTRA tours and activities Company especially my niece Emily Coloma who booked our reservation. I will surely recommend to all my friends, family, relatives and acquaintances globally. Mahalo!

I wanted to visit Sandbar after seeing it introduced by Higashi MAX on the TV program "Another Sky." What I saw on TV was truly a place surrounded by the ocean, but on this tour, we were brought to a spot close to the land. Huh? It was just a shallow area. I’m not sure if it was just beautifully portrayed on TV or if this tour was a letdown...
Since I participated in the afternoon, the water came up to about my chest. It didn't feel like a sandbar at all. The itinerary included a sea turtle spot, but there was no guidance about it, and when the boat got a bit noisy, it was just because a sea turtle was there. Plus, I could only see it for a brief moment...
We also went snorkeling, but honestly, the sea and the fish were not beautiful at all!!! It was no different from Waikiki Beach.
I participated in the recommended plan with a barbecue lunch, but I would recommend the early morning plan with a snack breakfast instead. The snorkeling felt like it was just added on to raise the price, and I felt like I lost out.
Since the sunburn was intense, I highly recommend taking thorough precautions against it.
TV番組アナザースカイで東MAXがサンドバーを紹介していてどうしてきたかったサンドバー。
TVで見たのは本当に全面海、という場所でしたが
このツアーで連れてこられるのはふつうに陸地も近くです。あれれ?ただの浅瀬じゃん。
TVが綺麗に映していただけなのか、このツアーがはずれだったのか・・・わかりませんが。
お昼に参加なので胸くらいまで水がきてました。サンドって感じはしなかったなぁ。
日程にウミガメスポットが含まれていますが、そのような案内はなく、船の中がざわついたなと思ったらウミガメがいたという感じです。
しかもほんの一瞬しかみれませんでした。。
シュノーケリングにも行きましたが、正直ぜんぜん海も魚も綺麗じゃないです!!!
ワイキキビーチと変わらないですよ~。
おすすめプラン・バーベキューランチ付きに参加しましたが、早朝プラン・スナック朝食付きをおすすめします。
シュノーケリングは本当に無理やり付けて値上げした感があって損したきぶんです。
日焼けがはんぱないので念入りに対策をおすすめします。
We are sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. Please understand that the sandbar is a natural formation, and we cannot guarantee the scenery you anticipated. There is information regarding the tides on the tour page, so please refer to it if you have the opportunity to join us again. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Last year, when I came, I couldn't find the time to go, but this time I made it a point to go.
First, we took the cruise to the submarine. This was the issue. My wife, our 4-year-old child, and I participated, but my wife is prone to seasickness. However, we were told it wouldn't be bumpy, so we decided to join.
Once on the boat, feeling a bit too confident, we moved to the deck. It seems that going to the deck made her seasickness worse, and by the time we arrived at the submarine, my wife was down. She returned to the hotel instead of boarding the submarine.
So it was just my child and me in the submarine. Both of us were super excited. We even saw turtles, and time flew by. By the way, I think the submarine was hardly bumpy at all.
I recommend that anyone who is concerned about seasickness should avoid going to the deck.
Personally, I would love to go again. I hear that the one in Hawaii Island allows you to see whales, so I'm curious about that too.
去年、来たときには時間が取れず、乗れなくて、満を持して、乗って来ました。
先ずは潜水艦までのクルーズ。ここが問題でした。妻とこども(4才)の3人での参加で、妻は船酔い持ちですが、揺れないとのことで、参加してみました。
船に乗って、調子にのって、デッキに移動。デッキに行ったことで、船酔いがましたらしく、潜水艦に到着したときには妻はダウン。妻は潜水艦に乗らずに、ホテルにリターンしました。
潜水艦はこどもと、2人。こどもも、僕も大興奮。亀も見れ、時間があっという間に過ぎました。因みに、潜水艦は殆ど、揺れなかったと思います。
船酔いが気になる人はデッキに行かない事をお勧めします。
個人的にはまた、乗りたいです。ハワイ島のは鯨見れるみたいなので、そっちも気になります。

Me and my 9 year old son took this helicopter tour on September 5, 2014 and we had a great experience not only with the tour itself but also with the customer service provided by Makani Kai Helicopters. We really appreciate them accommodating our last minute booking. Pilot Broody was great and also provided a very good narrative of the places that we had seen. Since their shuttles were out at the end of our tour, they actually sent us back to our hotel in cab rather than making us wait for the next shuttle. we will highly recommend Makani Kai Helicopters.

It was very refreshing to experience a place like this outdoors, as there are none like it in Japan. However, there were some concerns compared to Japanese pools. There were quite a few leaves and insects floating in the pool. There are areas where you walk barefoot, but the floor was quite hot. The lunch was a buffet, but it wasn't delicious. The all-you-can-drink containers were honestly difficult to hold and inconvenient.
I would like to go again if I have the chance.
野外でこのような形式の所は日本にはなくとても新鮮でした。
ただ所々、日本のプールと比べると気になるところがありました。
落ち葉や虫がそこそこプールに浮かんでいる。
裸足で歩く所がありますが、床がかなり熱い。
お昼はブッフェでしたが美味しくありませんでした。
飲み放題のドリンク容器は正直持ちづらく不便でした。
機会があればまた行きたいです。
