ハワイでパラセーリング　高さ120m／150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞！＜ヒルトン・ワイキキ＞

You'll become addicted! 病みつきになります！

Reviewed by: ゆうき

The driver for the shuttle and the captain of the boat were both very funny and kind. The 120-meter aerial flight was truly pleasant and went by in a flash. (That said, I think we were flying for a decent amount of time.) The boat rocked more than I expected, and although I usually don’t get motion sickness, I ended up feeling quite groggy by the end, so I think it’s safer to bring motion sickness medication.

Basically, you shouldn’t get wet, but many people wore swimsuits and had hoodies or t-shirts on top while paragliding. They were selling an SD card with the flying data for $30, but since you can also take pictures with other groups, I think it would have been better to have two cards—one for aerial shots and one for ground shots.

送迎の運転手さんも船のキャプテンもとても面白く親切でした。
120Mの空中飛行は本当に気持ちよくて、あっというまでした。（とはいえそこそこの時間飛んでいたと思います）
船が想像以上に揺れて普段乗り物酔いしないのですが最後はけっこうグロッキーになってしまったので酔い止めは持っていたほうが安全だと思います。
基本的に濡れないと思いますが、水着を着用して、上からパーカーやTシャツを着てそのままパラセイリングしている人が多かったです。
写真は＄30で飛んでいるデータが入ったSDカードを販売もしていましたが、ほかのグループの人たちと撮りあいっこもできるので、空中からと地上からお願い用と2つ持っていけばよかったと思いました。

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「パラダイス・コーブ 」開放的なオーシャンフロントで本場の雰囲気を味わえるショーやサンセット鑑賞＜現地集合可／コオリナ・リゾート内＞

The best Hawaiian show in Hawaii! ハワイで一番のお薦めのハワイアンショー！

Reviewed by: S.Y.

We participated as a group of 15. Although there were some concerns since it wasn't widely introduced by Japanese travel agencies, all participants were very satisfied. Especially since some were visiting Hawaii for the first time, the lei service and Hawaiian cocktails (Mai Tai) served upon arrival created the perfect feeling of being in Hawaii. We thoroughly enjoyed the events and shows at the venue. Here are a few points to note: 1) Since it's a foreign country, being able to engage in simple everyday conversations in English will enhance your experience. The staff only speaks a little Japanese. 2) There are no Japanese announcements at the venue, but a Japanese explanation sheet is provided outlining how the activities will proceed. 3) The participation fee includes coupons that can be used at the souvenir shop and drink corner (for about two drinks). Additionally, I would like to suggest to the VELTRA representative: 1) It would be better to distribute Japanese guidance documents to everyone. 2) The Japanese guidance document should include that activities will be announced with a conch shell sound ⇒ Let's move towards the sound of the conch shell. 3) If you have a special occasion (like a birthday) on the day, please inform the staff ⇒ There might be a surprise! I believe that if these points are added to the Japanese guidance document, even without Japanese announcements at the venue, tourists from Japan will be able to enjoy themselves fully. I hope you can convey this to the local planning team.

15名の団体で参加しました。日本の旅行会社からのオプショナルツアーにも殆ど紹介されてなく不安もありましが参加者全員大満足でした。特にハワイが初めての方もいましたので会場到着時レイサービスやウエルカムドリンクとしてハワイアンカクテル(マイタイ)が配られますのでハワイにきたという最高の気分。会場のイベントやショーも十分楽しめました。以下は、留意点をいくつか、①外国ですから英語は簡単な日常会話はできた方がより楽しめます。係りの方は片言の日本語対応のみです。②会場では日本語のアナウンスはありませんがこのような内容でアクティビティーが進められますとの日本語の説明書が配られます。③参加代金には、会場内の土産物店やドリンクコーナー(2杯程度)での利用が可能なクーポンのようなものがついてます。以下は、更にVELTRAの担当者の方へ①日本語の案内文は全員に配ったほうがいいと思います。②日本語の案内文には、アクティビティ開催に際してはほら貝にてお知らせします⇒ほら貝の聞こえる方へ移動しましょう③当日記念日の方(誕生日など)は、係りの方へお知らせください⇒サプライズがあるかも？。以上日本語の案内書面へ加えていただけば会場内で日本語の案内がなくても日本からの観光の方も十分楽しめると思います。是非現地の企画催行箇所へ伝えていただければと思います。

サンドバー天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズ　船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き！＜午前／日本語クルー＞

Well... it might be okay. まぁ・・・ありかな

Reviewed by: TORO

Positive aspects: The cheerful local guide in the blue T-shirt made a great impression, and during lunch, he played the guitar and sang beautifully. The snorkeling was also a lot of fun with plenty of fish around.

Negative aspects: The boat was very cold, and people around me were shivering while eating. The snorkeling gear was reused, and although it was soaked in disinfectant, many of them were still dirty with foundation and other residues. It would be impossible for someone who is sensitive about cleanliness. Additionally, the water in the two simple toilets on the boat did not flow at all, which was the most troublesome issue.

良かった点・・・青いTシャツを着た陽気な現地ガイドのおじさんはとても印象が良く、お昼ご飯の時もずっとギターの弾き語りをしてくれ、歌もとても上手でした。シュノーケリングも魚が沢山いて、とても楽しかったです。
残念だった点・・何しろ船上が寒い。周りの人も震えながらご飯を食べていた。スノーケルが使い回しの物なので、消毒液に浸かってはいるが、ファンデーションとかがべったり付いたままの不潔な物が多い。神経質な人にはまず到底無理。あと船に二つある簡素なトイレの水が一切流れず、それが一番困った。

「ロック・ア・フラ」ポリネシアンとロックを融合！有名キャストも楽しめるワイキキ最大のハワイアンショー＜ロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンター内＞

It's irresistible for someone you like. 好きな人にはたまらない

Reviewed by: like traveling.

I entered through the VIP entrance and received a welcome drink. There were some snacks and a commemorative photo opportunity (this time with an Elvis impersonator), but I thought just the photo would be enough. Since I was about to have dinner, I honestly didn't want to eat and felt it was a waste of time.
Once I took my seat next to the stage, dinner began. The staff was cheerful, and it was a very enjoyable time. I had delicious lobster and steak. I had ordered champagne in advance, so it was set up next to the table, which was a nice touch.
Now, regarding the show, the impersonators of Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and Lady Gaga performed. I personally love the songs of Michael and Gaga, so I was really excited and had a fantastic time. Michael's dancing was incredibly sharp and very skilled. He was a bit on the heavier side, though (laughs). I think it would be good for those attending to listen to the songs in advance. For someone like me who owns all of Michael's videos, it was a real treat.
After the show, you can get autographs on the commemorative photos you purchased and take pictures together. However, as expected, there is quite a line.

VIP入り口から入りウェルカムドリンクをいただきました。ちょっとしたおつまみや記念写真（今回はエルビスそっくりさん）もありましたが記念写真だけでいいと思いました。これからディナーを頂くので正直食べたくないし時間が勿体無いと感じました。
ステージ横の席に着くとディナーが始まります。スタッフも陽気でとても楽しい時間でした。ロブスター、ステーキと美味しくいただきました。予めシャンパンを頼んでおいたのでテーブル横にセッティングしてあり、嬉しい配慮でした。
さてショー肝心のショーですがエルビスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソン、レディーガガさんのそっくりさんが出演しました。元々マイケルとガガの曲は好きでよく聞いていたので私的にはとても盛り上がってしまい、楽しくてしょうがない感じでした。マイケルのダンスもキレがすごくとても上手です。ちょっと太めでしたが（笑）行かれる方は予め曲を聞いておくとよいと思います。マイケルのビデオを全て持っている私にはたまりませんでした。
ショーが終わると、購入した記念写真にサインをして頂いたり一緒に記念写真を撮ることができます。ただ当然ですが結構並びます。

パラセーリング　5歳～参加OK！高さ150m／130m／110mの3種類　人気のカカアコまで徒歩圏内！ツアー後にショッピングや食事も楽しめる＜ケワロ湾＞

It was surprisingly okay! 意外と大丈夫でした！

Reviewed by: aki

The hotel sent a trolley to pick us up (10 minutes earlier than the scheduled time). Once we boarded, we were instructed to sign a consent form right away. When we arrived at the reception and showed our voucher, we received our tickets.

The only other passengers on the same boat were a pair of girls, a group of three men and one woman, and a mother with a boy who looked to be in elementary school; we were the only Japanese people.

We set off a little way out to sea. It was quite rocky, but since I had taken motion sickness medication 30 minutes prior, I had no issues at all. We jumped two at a time. Without standing up, we shifted slightly in our seats, and when it was our turn, we were fitted with harnesses and life jackets and moved to the back of the boat.

We were cautioned not to stretch our legs while flying. As we gradually ascended, it felt more like being on a swing, so it wasn't very scary. Instead, I was captivated by the deep blue of the sea and the beautiful scenery.

The instructions mentioned that if we wanted the staff to take photos, we should ask, but I missed the timing and didn't get to request it (there was no pressure to buy). I hoped for a dry landing, but I ended up getting quite wet.

Although it was a tour my husband wanted to participate in, I’m glad I took the challenge.

ホテルにはトロリーが迎えに来てくれました。（時間よりも10分早かったです。）
乗車するとすぐに同意書にサインするようにとのことでした。
受付に着いてバウチャーを見せるとチケットをもらいました。
同じ船に乗ったのは2人組の女の子、男3女1のグループ、お母さんと小学生くらいの男の子で、日本人は私たちだけでした。
船に乗って少し沖に出ました。結構揺れましたが、30分前に酔い止めを飲んでいたので、全く問題ありませんでした。
1度に2人ずつ飛びました。立ち上がらずに座ったまま少しずつずれて、私たちの番になるとハーネスとライフジャケットをつけてもらい、船の後方に移動しました。
飛んでいるときは足を伸ばさないようにと注意されました。
少しずつ高くなっていくので、ブランコに乗っているようであまり怖くありませんでした。
それよりも海の青さと景色のよさに目を奪われました。
写真をスタッフに取ってほしい場合は言うようにと説明書に書いてありましたが、タイミングがわからずに頼みそびれてしまいました。（＝押し売りはありません。）
ドライランディングを希望しましたが、結構濡れました。
夫の希望で参加したツアーでしたが、チャレンジしてみてよかったです。

野生のイルカウォッチング＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　ジャンボスライダーやSUPも楽しめる！＜ランチ付き／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎／日本語または英語ガイド＞

Participated in a dolphin tour with kids. 子連れ初ドルフィンツアーに参加

Reviewed by: vivian

We participated as a family of four with a three-year-old and a five-year-old kindergarteners. I felt reassured to sign up because I read in reviews that it’s fine for small children.

Everyone was excited and looking forward to the departure and arrival at the point. Although there were floating devices, for the little ones with zero swimming experience, there was quite a bit of resistance to entering the sea! As a result, our speed slowed down significantly, and we couldn't catch up with the larger group.

In the end, Dad and the kids gave up and returned to the boat first, while Mom managed to see the dolphins playing for just a moment.

The hamburger for lunch was delicious!

三歳と五歳の幼稚園生を連れて家族4人の参加でした。
口コミで小さい子でも大丈夫ですよって書いてあるため、安心して申し込みました。

出発、ポイント到着までは、皆期待しながら、ワクワクしていました。
浮く道具はあったものの、水泳経験０のちびっ子にとっては、海に入るのがなかなか抵抗があった！お陰で進むスピードがかなり落ちていて、大部隊になかなか追いつけられませんでした。

結局、パパと子供達は諦めて、先に船に戻って、ママ一人何とかイルカ群が遊んでいる姿を一瞬だけと、みることができました。

ウェット アンド ワイルド ハワイ　絶叫ウォータースライダーなど25種類以上のアトラクションが揃うウォーターパーク　ランチやドリンク付きパッケージプランあり

The slider is amazing!! スライダー最高！！

Reviewed by: 初海外

We participated as a couple. The pickup location was right in front of the hotel, which was very convenient, but since it was a shared bus, I felt a bit anxious when we were slightly late for the meeting time. However, the driver was very kind and took care of the entrance procedures after we got off the bus, which made the entry process very smooth.

The facility has a wave pool and many water slides. We visited on a Sunday, but there weren't too many people, so we could enjoy the slides without much waiting and without stress. Personally, I felt a bit dizzy from the spinning rather than scared. (It might have been less crowded because it was a slightly cold day.)

The instructions were written in Japanese, and announcements were also made in Japanese, so we could understand the important information clearly. The slides splashed a lot of water on my face and body, making me completely soaked and even colder, but I think it would be fantastic to visit on a hot day.

There is also a children's pool and a lazy river, so I believe both adults and children can have plenty of fun. For lunch, we had a hot dog set, which was very delicious. There was no one at the reception who spoke Japanese, so I struggled a bit with the order. The portion sizes are quite generous, so I think one would be enough for two people. There is also a bar, so you can enjoy cocktails.

The changing room and restroom have showers, but they only provided water. We had to leave earlier than closing time because the return bus schedule was set, but I think it's a place where you can have fun from opening to closing time for a whole day.

夫婦二人で参加しました。送迎はホテル前が集合場所だったため、非常に近くて良かったのですが、混載バスだったことから、集合時間から少し遅れたことが少し不安になりました。しかし、ドライバーさんがとても親切でバスを降りた後、入場の手続きをやってくれ、非常にスムーズに入場することができたことが良かったと思います。
敷地内には波のプールやたくさんのウォータースライダーがあります。行った日は日曜日でしたが人はあまり多くなく、スライダーはほとんど待たずにストレスなく乗ることができました。個人的に怖いというよりぐるぐる回るので酔いました。
（少し寒い日だったので、人が少なかったのかもしれません。）
説明も日本語で書かれており、放送も日本語も流れることから注意する内容などもしっかり理解できます。スライダーで、顔や体に水がたくさんかかって全身びしょ濡れになり余計寒かったでが、暑い日に行ったら最高だと思います。
また、子供用プール、流れるプールもあり、大人も子供も十分楽しめると思います。
お昼はホットドックセットを食べ、とても美味しかったです。受付に日本語を話せる人がいなかったので、注文に苦戦しました。量も結構あるので2人で1つでも大丈夫だと思います。Barもあるためカクテルも楽しめます。
更衣室+トイレにはシャワーもついていますが、水だけでした。
帰りのバスの時間が決まっていたので閉店より早めに帰ってしまいましたが、開店から閉店まで1日十分にはしゃげる場所だと思います。

It was fun. However, the wind was strong, and the boat rocked quite a bit, so those who are prone to seasickness might want to take motion sickness medication in advance... A friend of mine ended up throwing up along the way.

When we landed, the person in front of me was fine with their feet touching the ground, so I kept my glasses on, but I ended up getting splashed with seawater and lost my glasses. (It's better to take off your glasses.)

Seeing Diamond Head from the sky was a wonderful memory of Hawaii.

楽しかったです。ただ、風が強く、結構船が揺れたので、船に酔いやすい人は事前に酔い止めを服用しておいたほうがいいかも・・・・。友人は途中で吐いてしまいました。

We had the best time!

Reviewed by: Bill & Karen/SLC

My wife and I had never been snorkeling and one of the things that my wife had wanted to do for years was to swim with the dolphins. We wanted to learn how to snorkel and found this tour on Veltra. The tour was scheduled the day after we arrived in Hawaii and we received a courtesy call reminding us of the time and place for pickup. Dan was right on time and met us at the pickup place. He was cordial and interesting to talk to. Everything was arranged for us at the Bay. His instructions were easy to understand and we headed into the water. We were later joined by Dan's wife Chieko and they stayed with us the whole time. We enjoyed seeing the beautiful, colorful fish as well as the turtle swimming in the bay!

We had a very enjoyable time and recommend this tour very highly! Dan and Chieko were wonderful hosts. We are grateful for the time they spent with us (as well as others that were with the tour) as we were able to go to other beaches and snorkel.

Thanks so much Dan & Chieko. We hope to see you again!

サンドバー天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズ　船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き！＜午前／日本語クルー＞

The sea was incredibly beautiful. 凄く海が綺麗でした。

Reviewed by: カナナ

I participated in the morning tour on May 30th. After being picked up from the hotel around 7:00 AM, we rode the bus for about 40 minutes to the harbor. Once we arrived, we took a restroom break and boarded the boat. There were about 20 to 30 passengers on the boat, and I think they were all Japanese. The local guide, a young woman, provided explanations in Japanese.

As we enjoyed the view of the mountains often used for movie shoots from the boat, we headed to the sea turtle spot in Kaneohe Bay. The guide mentioned that "the wind was calm and the sea was clear," and indeed, the water was transparent, allowing us to see the coral reefs and sea turtles beautifully. Many sea turtles appeared!

After watching the sea turtles, we finally headed to the sandbar. On that day, the tide was high, so we couldn't see the sandbar exposed (the sandbar appears on specific days and times, and it's said to be rare, happening only two or three times a week). However, it was quite a strange feeling to have shallow water up to my shins in the middle of the ocean, and the scenery was beautiful and moving!

After taking plenty of photos at the sandbar, we returned to the boat to prepare for snorkeling at the edge of the sandbar (where it gets deeper). The coral reefs and fish were beautiful, but with about 60 people snorkeling from two boats, it was fine going out, but on the way back, I almost collided with incoming people, and trying to avoid them made it hard to stay on course. The latter part was not really about enjoying the coral reefs. *sigh*

After snorkeling, we were served ham and cheese sandwiches and tea on the boat as we returned to the harbor. (While on the boat, there were about six types of soft drinks, including cola, available for free. If you ask the guide, she will refill your cup.) When we got off the boat, there was a request for tips, so I put some in the can provided on the boat.

I think we returned to the hotel around 11 AM.

There isn't a place or timing to change, so I think it's essential to wear clothes that are okay to get wet over your swimsuit and to bring a few towels. Also, as it got closer to noon, the sun became stronger, and I got quite sunburned, so sun protection is a must. It was a short tour, but it was a great experience that you don't get to do often, so I'm glad I went! (*ˊૢᵕˋૢ*)

5/30の朝のツアーに参加しました。
AM7:00過ぎにホテルピックアップで40分くらいバスに揺られてハーバーへ。
着いたらトイレ休憩してボートに乗りました。ボートには2～30人のお客さんが乗って(日本人しか居なかったと思います)出発。
ボートの上で日本人の現地ガイドのお姉さんが日本語で説明をしてくれました。
ボートから映画の撮影に良く使われる山並みを眺めながら、カネオヘ湾の海亀スポットへ。この日は「風が弱く海が澄んでいる」とガイドのお姉さんが言っていましたが、本当に海が透明で珊瑚礁と海亀が凄く綺麗に見れました。海亀はいっぱい現れましたよ。

海亀ウォッチングの後はいよいよサンドバーへ。この日は潮が満ちていてサンドバーが陸になっている状態は見れませんでした(サンドバーは陸が現れる日と時間が決まっていて、なかなかお目にかかれません。そんな日は週に2.3日らしいです)でも海の真ん中に足のスネくらいまでの浅瀬があること自体凄く不思議な感じがして、景色も綺麗で感動しました！

サンドバーでひとしきり写真を撮ったら、ボートに戻って準備してサンドバーの端(深くなっていくところ)をシュノーケルしました。珊瑚礁と魚が綺麗でしたが、30人のボート2台分で約60人くらいが一気にシュノーケルするので、行きはいいんですが折り返し地点から折り返そうとすると、向かってくる人とぶつかりそうになったり、人を避けようとするとコースから外れそうになったりして、後半は珊瑚礁どころじゃなかったです。苦笑

シュノーケルが終わるとボートでハムとチーズのサンドイッチとお茶が配られて食べながら帰港しました。(ボートに乗っている間、コーラなど6種類くらい？のソフトドリンクが飲み放題でした。お姉さんにお願いすればコップについでもらえます)
ボートを降りる時にチップのお願いがあったのでボートに設置の缶にチップを入れて降りました。

バスに乗って、ホテルに帰って来たのはAM11時台だったと思います。

着替える場所、タイミングは無いので濡れたままの水着の上に来ても大丈夫な服と、タオル数枚は必須だと思います。あと昼に近づくにつれ日差しが強くなってきてかなり焼けたので日焼け対策も必須だと思います。短い時間のツアーでしたが、なかなか出来ない体験が出来るツアーなので行ってよかったです(*ˊૢᵕˋૢ*)

This was AWESOME! Great day on the bay with a really fun crew. Volleyball on the sandbar, BBQ, music and then snorkeking on the reef - AFTER turtle watching! Cant say enough good things. Our second cruise with Captain Bobs - would definitely do it again.

This was an exceptionable excursion! Our snorkel guides were really great and made sure we had a great time. We were picked up and delivered back to our hotel. Would definitely recommend this trip!

I went by rental car. The location was a bit hard to find, but I made it to the beach safely. I was able to see sea turtles and dolphins. I will go again.

レンタカーで行きました。場所が少しわかりずらかったですが、無事ビーチへ。うみガメも見れて、イルカも見れました。また行きます

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

Awesome!

Reviewed by: Tammy

Our entire family loved this day cruise. The crew on the boat were all very knowledgeable and the sandbar, turtle bay and reef were all some of the coolest sights we saw on Oahu. Hope you get Jenner on your boat, he's the best! He went out snorkeling on the reef with my husband and showed him all kinds of cool stuff!

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Had fun!!

Reviewed by: Francesca

My husband and I attended the luau while on our honeymoon. The emcee was great she had a very pleasant way about her. The food was good although I was surprised to see fried chicken on the buffet. We paid for the orchid seating but after seeing how the dining area was arranged I think the regular seats would have been fine. My favorite part was the chief with the fire, that was exciting!
