No time to enjoy or view activities. We felt very rushed. "Gold Package" got us a deli sandwich, which we had to leave the tour for, adding to the time rush. I had taken this tour with a different company several years ago, and had a totally different experience (for the better). Bus drive thru town was pleasant and informative. Driver was knowledgeable.
A couple of more hours could have made all the difference...

We were blessed with good weather on the day.
As we headed to the meeting point, we found an open-air bus!
It was a very pleasant ride to the activity location.
However, while heading out to sea by boat, one family member got seasick... it was quite rocky.
If you're prone to motion sickness, don't forget to take some medication.
The paragliding itself was amazing, as we went up to a very high point with the best view!

I participated in whale watching with high expectations. The main reason I chose this was because it mentioned there would be Japanese commentary. However, when I actually participated, there was no Japanese commentary at all. It was incomprehensible; I searched for where the Japanese commentary was supposed to be in the catalog, but I couldn't find it.

We had a great time, enjoyed the view, but felt restricted. The President was on the island, so our air space was limited. It was kind of a bummer, but our pilot, Jim, really tried to make the best of the situation. He was great!

My sister and I jumped 150 meters, but surprisingly, I got sick in the air. I took motion sickness medication before going, which helped with the car ride, but the boat's swaying was quite strong, and I quickly felt unwell. Although I felt sick, the activity itself was really fun. For those who want to try it, I recommend taking motion sickness medication and not eating beforehand.
姉と二人で150m飛びましたが、なんと空中でもどしてしまいました。酔い止めは飲んで行ったのですが、車の揺れには効いても、ボートの揺れはかなり強く、すぐに気分が悪くなってしまいました。酔って気持ちが悪いということはありましたが、アクティビティ自体は、すごく楽しかったです。挑戦される方には、酔い止めを必ず飲むこと以外に、食事をしてこないことをおススメします。

Being a Huge Hawaii Five O fan (all the way back to the original) this was definitely a tour I enjoyed! Amy and Zoom are very knowledgable and were able to show us parts of the island we would not have gone to see on our own. The kids were into it as well. We were shown clips of the show, they were "I remember that," therefore they really liked being able to relate to what we were seeing. McGarrets house was amazing and the current owners were so welcoming. It was awesome to have such a Hawaiian welcome.

When we arrived at the port and were about to board, despite having signed up for a meal (showing the smartphone screen of the reservation), we were told that there was no such notification. After confirming with VELTRA over the phone at the counter, it turned out there was a communication error with the operating company after about 10 minutes of investigation. I'm glad it was resolved, but with the departure time approaching, I felt anxious in a foreign place where I struggled with the language. The whale watching was good; although the wind was strong, we were able to see the tails a few times. The meal was also delicious.
港に着いてさあ乗船となった時、食事つきで申し込んだにもかかわらず(申し込みのスマホの画面を提示)、そのような連絡が来てないとのこと。カウンターでVELTRAに電話で確認したところ、10分程調べてもらった結果、運航会社への連絡ミスとわかりました。解決したので良かったですが、出航時間も迫り、言葉の不自由な旅行先で不安になりました。ホエールウォッチングは風が強かったものの、何回か尾びれも見えました。食事も美味しかったです。

It was an early morning tour, and I was really worried that the water would be cold, but surprisingly, once I got in, it wasn't that cold at all. From the moment I saw the sharks, I was completely captivated (laughs). However, the boat was really rocky, so snorkeling didn't make much sense (laughs). I took motion sickness medicine, so I didn't feel seasick at all, and when we boarded, no one felt unwell. I was satisfied with the number of sharks we saw! However, because of the rocking, I couldn't take very nice photos~ ★ It’s expensive, but buying the DVD might be a good idea~. We did (laughs). Since it's something you can't do often, it's worth it (^^)/ I recommend it for those looking for excitement~ (^◇^).

We experienced this with five children aged 5, 4, 3, and 2 during a family trip. Each child had one adult accompanying them, entering the water together (with the water depth around the adult's waist), and there was one trainer for each group.
At the trainer's signal, we called the dolphins, and they showed us various tricks. We were also able to touch the dolphins. The trainer taught us how to pose for photos, and a dedicated photographer took pictures for us.
The adults were even more impressed by being so close to the dolphins than the children! (laughs)

Using the Passport is a great way to visit all four areas at your own pace. Spend an entire day taking your time to truly appreciate each site without a tour company rushing you along to "stay on schedule "! The audio tour is included so you will learn everything that a tour guide can tell you. Simply rent a car, take a cab or take The Bus to get there and enjoy your day. You should plan on being there early as the center gets extremely busier as the day goes along.

The weather on the day was perfect, making it an ideal day for kayaking.
The pickup was on time, and after arriving, we were able to borrow bodyboards and snorkels to play at Kailua Beach until lunchtime. For lunch, you can choose from pizza, BBQ plates, or salad bowls, but I definitely recommend the pizza! The spinach and garlic pizza, in particular, is exquisite! The restaurant staff were cheerful, and we had a great time dining!
After lunch, we pulled the kayaks to the beach. I think it took about 15 minutes to reach Flat Island. Upon arriving at Flat Island, we received various explanations about the island's ecosystem and Hawaii's history from our guide, Yasuyo. They also took plenty of photos, and it was truly a fun time.
After kayaking back to Kailua Beach, we pulled the kayaks back to the shop. We pulled the kayaks ourselves both ways, but it didn't feel burdensome at all.
It was really fun!!!

I signed up with the assumption that I could ride horses by the beach at North Shore and run them along the shoreline, but that was a naive thought. The trail goes by the coast, but it doesn't reach the ocean. The course is overgrown with tall grass, and the view isn't very good. The horses are well accustomed to people, and even when there were loud noises (like gunshots?), they didn't get agitated. I think this is suitable for beginners.
ノースショアの海辺で乗馬ができる、波打ち際で馬を走らせる事ができるとの勝手な思い込みで申し込みをしましたが甘い考えでした。海岸の側は通りますが海には行きません。コースに背の高い草が茂っており、眺めも余り良くないです。馬は良く人に慣れており、途中大きな音(拳銃の発射音?)がしても暴れることも無かったです。初心者向きの乗馬かなと思います。

A year after our wedding, we finally made it to Hawaii! And I got to meet dolphins for the first time, which I've always dreamed of!
We woke up early, and I thought I would definitely fall asleep on the bus, but I was too excited about seeing the dolphins to sleep at all. Once we arrived at the ocean and changed, we were ready to go to the spot—let's go!!!
The waves were a bit high today, which made me feel a little blue at first. But after a while, the captain said we could see dolphins, and all my worries disappeared! When we got into the water, there were supposedly only a few, but about ten dolphins came to greet us. I was strangely moved to see dolphins in person for the first time.
I'm so glad I bought an underwater camera—really glad (waiting for the development, haha). After enjoying that experience, we returned to the boat and headed to the snorkeling spot! On the way, we even saw a whale! The crew mentioned that it's rare to see them up close like that. We were super lucky!
When we arrived at the snorkeling spot and got in, unfortunately, the water was really murky, so it wasn't great for snorkeling. I have to deduct one star for that.
We quickly returned to the boat and had a cheeseburger for lunch! The taro buns were amazing—way better than anything from a regular shop!
That wrapped up the tour. I fell asleep on the bus, probably from all the swimming, and when I woke up, we were in Honolulu.
I got to meet dolphins, the cheeseburger was delicious, and the crew was all really nice. I definitely want to join again!
It was such a wonderful honeymoon memory!!!
ハネムーンで1年ぶりのハワイ!そして念願の初めてのイルカ!

いざ海に入ってみると、数は少ないらしいがちゃんとイルカちゃん達10匹くらい?がお出迎えしてくれました。
初めて生で見たイルカに妙に感動。

早々に船に戻り、昼ごはんにチーズバーガー!タロイモのバンズ、最高でしたー!そこら辺の店よりもはるかに美味しかった!
これでツアーはおしまい。
バスに戻って泳いで疲れたのか即爆睡。気づいた頃にはホノルルでした。
