A good time to experience the culture and take in some views. No need for upgrading to a better package though. Still we had ourselves a good time.

I went to Paradise Cove as part of a group of 4 18 year old girls. This luau was a definite highlight of our trip! All of the activities were interesting, and the lines for tattoos, leis, etc. all went pretty quickly! Above that, the food was awesome! If you are looking for a great luau, go to Paradise Cove!

My grandmother and I chose this as something different to do from the sightseeing and beach time we had been enjoying. The transportation is great even for those of us that are familiar with the island, and well worth the additional cost. The seating area is packed and truly would be more enjoyable with fewer people crammed in. The food and service were far better than expected and the "All You Can Eat" crab truly lives up to the name. The boat from an external view is beautiful and makes a striking appearance out on the open ocean. On the decks there are areas that could be maintained better, especially the areas that food is served from and are in plain view of guests. The top deck is amazing for catching sight of the city line and would be a great place to spend a romantic evening with a significant other. Overall this is something that I am glad we experienced and would be willing to take others on.

Passport includes all four museums at Pearl Harbor, but you must still get there early to pick up your Arizona tour tickets. I got in line at 7am, and had no problems. It was important for us to stop and learn more in detail about the events in Dec 1941, while paying respect to those who lived and fought in WWII. USS Missouri was quite a sight as well as you get to see a lot of the ship on your tour.

The children especially had the most fun!
The kids' pool was well-equipped with many small slides, and at first, they were very curious watching other kids enjoy themselves. Gradually, they started to challenge themselves with various activities.
The lifeguards were attentive, regularly checking on the children's actions, and if they engaged in any risky behavior, they would blow their whistles to alert them. It felt a bit strict at times, but I thought it was likely for the children's safety.
The adult slides and activities were also impressive in scale, featuring attractions that you wouldn't find in Japan, which was truly breathtaking.
I look forward to the next visit when my children are a bit older, as there are slides they can challenge together with the whole family. It would be great to enjoy the slides together on the same float.
There are also coin lockers conveniently located in the center of the facility, making it easy to store and retrieve our belongings.
I can't wait for the next time we can go!
特に子供が一番楽しめていました♪
子供用のプールが充実していて小さいスライダーなど沢山あり
最初は他の子が楽しんでるのを見て興味深々で
少しずついろいろなアクティティにチャレンジしていました。
ライフガードの方々がこまめに子供たちの行動をチェックしていて
少しでも危ない行動をしたら笛を吹いて注意を促すなど
まあ少しは厳しくも感じましたが、逆に子供たちの安全を考えての事なのだろうなと思いました。
大人向けのスライダーとうやアクティビティも迫力満点のスケールで
日本ではないアトラクションなどもありとても圧巻されました。
是非次回もう少し子供が大きくなり一緒にチャレンジできるスライダーとかもありましたので
一緒に家族全員同じ浮き輪でスライダーを楽しめたらと思っています。
施設の中心にコインロッカーもあるので、そこまで結構出し入れ等便利でした。
また次回行ける日を楽しみにしています!

The people we boarded the boat with were all foreigners, and my husband and I, who don't understand English, felt a bit anxious. However, the staff, who were also foreigners, spoke to us in Japanese, which made us feel at ease!
We went quite high up, but strangely, I didn't feel scared at all. Personally, I enjoyed the view of Diamond Head and the beautiful scenery from up high!
On the way down, we had a little splash in the sea, but it was fun! I recommend bringing a waterproof camera if you want to capture the views from above. We asked the staff to take photos with a DSLR and purchased an SD card with 70-80 photos for $30. It was worth it for the memories!
I definitely want to do this again next time!
一緒に船に乗った方々が、みんな外国の方々で、英語のわからない私たち夫婦は不安がありましたが、スタッフの方は外国の方でしたが、日本語で話してくださり、安心できました!
けっこう高いところまで上がりましたが、不思議と怖さはなく(個人的に)ダイヤモンドヘッドや素敵な景色を高いところから堪能できました!
降りてくるときは海ポチャのおまけつきでしたが、楽しかったです!
上空からの景色をとりたい方は防水カメラを持っていくことをオススメします。
私たちは、スタッフの方々が一眼レフで撮ってくれるのをお願いし、70~80データ入りSDを購入しました。30$でしたが、思い出になるので購入して満足です!
また、次回も是非やりたいです!

My friend and I decided to check this out as we were looking for something to do for the night. I have been to many Luau's before so I wasn't expecting anything amazing, but I turned out to be very wrong. the Chief was extremely funny throughout the whole night and he was also very interactive with the crowd. They had some fun activities before the Luau as well so that was fun. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great night with great people! Hands down the best Luau I have done.

First, Veltra was very easy to work with and very accommodating. I had to change the date of my excursion 3 times due to conflict involving the homecoming of a Navy vessel my son serves on. Once the date was locked in and we were able to visit the site it was a flawless experience. Ticket processing was easy and the museums were amazing. I will book through Veltra again. During summer just remember to arrive early to get the USS Arizona Memirial tickets since they do run out. It is a lot to accomplish in one day. We started at 7:45 and ended around 4:00pm.

I gave an ok/average rating because this was an expensive excursion and the snorkeling was not up to par. The staff was incredible---- friendly, fun and courteous, but this seemed to be a boat ride geared toward hanging out and drinking on the boat rather than seeing awesome fish, coral reefs, etc. We had 2 snorkel stops and fish/turtles were average. But the crew made sure we saw dolphins from the boat, which was cool.
As far as snorkeling, it was nothing too interesting especially because my husband and I have done amazing snorkeling in Maui and Bora Bora. If you want to drink and relax for an afternoon, this is a top choice. But, a little too expensive for what you get if you are really into snorkeling and seeing different kinds of underwater life.

The parasailing ride is as exciting as advertised. You need to give yourself plenty of extra time as they tend to run at least an hour behind, but it is worth the wait assuming you have the time. We elected to purchase the photo package for $30.00 - well worth the money. We got great photo's to remember the occasion and something to share with friends when we got back. This is a definite must do while in Waikiki.

Overall it was a nice show. The majority of the time there is spent doing crafts or browsing the many shops with things for sale, so the show really is only a small part of the event. The food was pretty good; however, our food was cold due to the order that they served it. Being as we had the highest priced VIP package you would have thought we would have been served first; nope. We were dead last and had cold food, although the flavor was still very good. I think it is worth doing while visiting the island, I would just not suggest the expensive packages as there is no real benefit.

Eccellente! Lovely dining atmosphere, superb food presentation and attentive wait staff.
Couple of my friends and I ordered the Bolognese Alla "Siciliana" and the Frutti Di Mare entrees, both dishes were really good. Bolognese is what you would want to order if your not familiar with ordering Italian food. Restaurant was a 2 minute walk from my hotel (stayed at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel) so it was very convenient. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone back at home on the East coast!
Ciao Baby!

Thanks for your feedback. We definitely understand that our reef is hard coral- so not the soft fanning coral you get in warm waters, but we strive to do a great job showcasing what we do have to offer on Oahu. One of the sites is Oahu's second largest living reef, though due to weather/water conditions we can't always go there. Perhaps next time you can join us on our other tour- the Dolphin Snorkel Tour- which offers THREE snorkel sites (not two that the Sail offers) including a chance to snorkel view dolphins in the wild. It sounds like you are seeking more adventure and that is what that tour offers. Adventure! We hope to see you again. Thank you!
