Oahu
The staff was friendly. The weather was nice too, which helped create great memories flying with my kids. I don't think it's something we can do often, but we had a wonderful time talking about places like Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head with the kids.
スタッフが感じよかった。天気もよかったせいもありますが子供と飛んでいい思い出ができました。何度も翔ようなものではないと思いますが、ワイキキビーチ・ダイアモンドヘッドなど、子供とあそこがどーのとか話しながらいい時間がすごせました。
There is a similar water park in Tokyo, but we went there at the request of the kids. As expected, the slides were extremely crowded, and it didn't feel enjoyable at all. I don't think we'll go there on our next trip.
東京にも同様のウォーターパークがありますが、子供の希望により行きました。ある程度予測できたことですが、スライダー類はとにかく混んでいて、楽しいという感じではありませんでした。次回の旅行では、まず行かないと思います。
It's great to have guidance in Japanese, and the Hawaiian jokes are fun too. We drove around the jungle in a speeding Jeep and visited plants at a farm and ranch. In the afternoon, my younger child suddenly needed to go to the bathroom, which made us late for the movie tour, and the bus we had reserved left without us. However, the ticket center quickly arranged for the next bus. We were super excited at the entrance to Jurassic Park. The facilities are very accommodating, which is reassuring. The program is friendly for families with children. However, the early morning is a bit tough. With a 7:10 AM pickup, I had to wake up at least by 6 AM. Since breakfast was at 7, I gave up and woke up at 5:30 to make porridge in the hotel kitchen. If the program could be adjusted, it would be nice to have a menu with one in the morning and two in the afternoon.
日本語で案内してもらえるのと、ハワイアンジョーク?がまた楽しい。疾走するジープでジャングルをまわったり、農園や牧場で植物を見学したり。午後、下の子が急にトイレに行きたがって、映画ツアーの時間に遅れてしまい、予約してたバスは行ってしまったんですが、チケットセンターですぐ次のバスを手配してくれました。ジュラシックパークの入り口?セットに大興奮。施設内は、至れり尽くせりで、安心ですね。子供連れにはやさしいプログラムです。ただし、朝早いのがちょっとしんどい。7時10分ピックアップだと、朝は最低でも6時起床です。朝食が7時からだったので、諦めて、私だけ5時半に起きてホテルのキッチンで雑炊作りました。プログラムを調整できるんだったら、朝一つ、午後二つ、とかのメニューがあっても良いのでは。
Tropical fish gather around the coral, and when you offer them food, they take it from your hand. However, my 10-year-old son seemed to find it more interesting to catch sea slugs. The hamburger was delicious with a nice grilled aroma, the best! My 4-year-old son was thrilled to float around happily in his life jacket.
サンゴのそばに熱帯魚が群れて、もらった餌で寄せると手から取っていきます。でも、10歳の息子はウミウシをつかむ方が面白かった様です。ハンバーガー、直火が香ばしくて、最高!4歳のむすこは、ライフジャケットでプカプカ浮かんで大喜びでした。
As first time snorkelling for our family instructors Dan and Chieko were great helping us all the way would recommend this tour
Hi Craig, glad you guys had a good time. Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.
Take the earliest shuttle (6:00 a.m. from your hotel) to avoid beach crowd and avoid the park fee (if you get there before 7:00 -- no additional park fee!).
Driver was courteous, informative and fun. Equipment was in great condition, and you can expand on what you get (which is basics, but enough) for very little cost.
Had about 2.5 hours of snorkeling fun.
I really loved the helicopter tour over Kilauea! The staff at blue Hawaiian were really helpful and our pilot Jeremy was really lovely. The flight went really quickly as there was just so much to see, we even got to see some lava in a crater. It's definitely not big pools of flowing lava on the surface but that would depend on your luck and Mother Nature. Loved it all the same. I found the coach part of this tour a bit too long, as did everyone on the tour. Honestly if it was 2hrs shorter it would have been more enjoyable.
This was my second time participating, following last year. The waves were calm and the sea was very beautiful on the day of the event. Under the guidance of Mr. Dan, I was able to see many fish. I was disappointed that I couldn't meet Bob the moray eel this year, but then Ms. Chieko said, "There are turtles." I was thrilled to see a sea turtle underwater! My husband and son got out partway through, but when they realized there were turtles, Ms. Chieko went all the way to the beach to call out, "There are sea turtles!" Their hospitality and guidance were truly amazing. If I can come again next year, I will definitely ask for them! Thank you very much.
昨年に続き、2回目の参加でした。
当日は波も穏やかで海もとても綺麗でした。
ダン先生の誘導のもと、たくさんの魚も見れました。
今年はウツボのボブちゃんに会えず残念・・と思っていたところに、チエコ先生から「亀いるよ」と。海中で海ガメ感激でした❗❗
夫と息子は途中で上がってしまったの ですが、亀がいるのが分かると、チエコ先生はわざわざ、浜まであがり「海ガメいるよ」と声をかけに行ってもくれました。
お二人のホスピタリティ溢れるガイドは本当にサイコー⤴⤴です。
もし、来年も来ることができたら、必ずお願いしようと思います❗
ありがとうございました。
Fuko, thank you for participating with your family for the second time. Your son did even better this year than last year and was very skilled! This was the day we saw the turtle at the end of the second half of the tour. If we had found the turtle a bit earlier, your son and husband could have seen it too... I'm sorry about that. I will do my best to ensure that your whole family can see the turtle and Bob the moray eel next year, so I appreciate your continued support. I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
ふうこ様、この度はご家族で2回目のご参加ありがとうございます。息子さんも去年よりもっと頑張ってくれてとても上手に出来ていましたよ!この日はツアーの後半の最後に亀を見た日ですね。もう少し早く亀を見つけられたら息子さんや旦那様にも亀を見ていただけたのですが、、、ごめんなさいね。きっと来年こそはご家族皆様で亀やウツボのボブちゃんを見ていただける様、さらに頑張ろうと思っておりますので、今後ともよろしくお願い致します。またお会いできるのを楽しみにしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
I made a reservation thinking I would swim with dolphins that are accustomed to being fed and cared for by humans, but it was completely different. We entered the vast ocean where dolphins live naturally, and to avoid stressing them, we observed them while swimming at the surface. It was truly moving. Seeing the cute dolphins swimming gracefully underwater somehow brightened my heart and made me feel happy! I highly recommend it! After that, we also encountered a group of giant turtles, which was very healing!
飼育され餌付けされた人間に慣れているイルカと泳ぐのかなあ?くらいの気持ちで予約したのですが、全然違って、全くの自然に生息しているイルカさんたちの大海原にお邪魔して、水中を泳ぐイルカさんたちにストレスをかけないように、人間は水面を泳ぎなら観察するというスタイルで、とても感動しました。海中をスイスイ泳いでいるイルカさんたちのかわいい姿、見たら不思議と、心が明るくなってハッピイになれますよ~お勧めです❗この後、巨大亀さんの群れにも遭遇、癒されました~❗
Bob and Akima picked us up at 7.25 am outside Hawaiian Prince Hotel, then picked up 2 other groups of 3 making 8 of us. We drove out of Waikiki for around 20 mins with interesting commentary about Hawaii from Akima before reaching our first stop - a beautiful picturesque beach where it"s possible to see dolphins. Akima spoke Japanese so stayed with the 6 Japanese people leaving Bob to me and my friend. Bob told us a lot about the area and if you want to know more about surfing then Bob's your man. We then moved on to a small group of shops where we bought items for our picnic lunch later.
We next went to a Kaneana,(Makua cave) a very old sea cave with many legends attached to it. Bob was a great storyteller telling us about the legend of the shapeshifter shark man of Makua cave. Then you can explore the cave a bit if you dare!
Next we stopped at the stunning Makaha valley which again has a great legend associated with it and looks like scenery from Kong Island or Jurassic Park.
We were really lucky driving to our next spot as Bob spotted a rare Monk Seal basking on the rocks.
A couple more lovely spots then time for our lunch at Ku'ilioloa Heiau, and then the snorkelling at Pokai Bay. First Bob checked our swimming ability then gave us mask,snorkel and fins plus a life vest. Bob is very patient and stays with you all the time gently encouraging you to explore the sealife. I'm not confident snorkelling but felt very safe with Akima and Bob. We saw corals, beautiful colourful fish and 2 sea turtles.
It was a really great day which we would definitely recommend to anyone wishing to see a much less touristy authentic side of Oahu, the scenery is just beautiful and excellent snorkelling. Many thanks to Akima and Bob who made our day special.
Aloha, thank you for your time for review us!
We are happy to hear that you enjoyed our unique tour. West Oahu is very special place, we are glad you experienced this sacred Hawaiian land.
We also do private tour, you ever come to Hawaii, let us take you again!

It is located on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center. There is a ticket counter where you can give your name and receive your tickets.
You can choose between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. There are smoothies and other options, and since the air conditioning is a bit strong, it might be a good idea to bring a light jacket.
We happened to have seats in the center, but I think you can still enjoy it even from the side seats, as Mr. Presley might come to you as well.
ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階にあります。
チケット売り場があるので名前をいい、チケットを受け取ります。
ドリンクはアルコールとノンアルコールが選べます。
スムージーとそうでないものがあり、少し空調が効いているので薄手の上着を持っていくといいかもしれません。
私達はたまたまセンターの席でしたが、端の席でもプレスリーさんが来てくれたりするので充分楽しめると思います。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
I participated at the request of my elementary school child. The best part was getting to see the turtles. There were also photos for sale, which were expensive, but I bought one because it turned out well. Additionally, it was nice that the pressure inside the submarine was constant, so my ears didn't hurt.
小学生の子供の希望で、参加しました。亀に会えたのが1番嬉しかったです。写真の販売もあり、高いですが写りが良く購入しました。また、潜水艦の中は気圧が一定で耳が痛くならなかったのが良かったです。
Thank you very much for participating in the submarine tour and for your feedback. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed exploring the underwater world and had the chance to see turtles. We look forward to welcoming you aboard again.

I woke up early and waited at the designated pickup location, but even after 15 minutes past the scheduled time, no one came to pick me up. I called the phone number provided, but I reached a voicemail saying "outside of business hours." The hotel staff called several times for me, and I finally got through, but by that point, it was already 30 minutes past the pickup time. During the conversation with the staff, they mentioned they "forgot" and suggested I join a tour two hours later. They also said, "As an apology, we will give you a T-shirt," but... I had plans with a friend afterward, but since I was already there, I had my friend change their plans so I could join the tour two hours later. I never received the promised T-shirt, and I ended up causing a lot of inconvenience to the hotel staff and my friend. The response of "I forgot" was just too careless. I would like a refund. The tour itself wasn't very impressive, and the sea was rough, causing the boat to sway, and it was uncomfortable even inside the cage due to high waves. Including the service, I cannot recommend this. Also, I made the reservation here considering the reputation and reliability of Veltra, so I hope Veltra does not list such careless tour operators.
早起きして指定のピックアップ場所で待ちましたが、時間を15分過ぎても迎えが来なかった為、記載されていた電話番号に電話をしましたが、“営業時間外”との留守番電話で繋がらず。
ホテルスタッフも何度か電話してくれて、やっと繋がりましたが、この時点でピックアップ時刻を30分も過ぎていました。
スタッフとのやり取りで「忘れてた」との事で、2時間後のツアーに参加を勧められました。
またこの時、「お詫びにTシャツを差し上げます」と言われていたのですが…。
このあと友人と予定があったのですが、せっかくだし、友人にあとの予定を変更してもらって2時間後のツアーに参加しました。
約束されていたTシャツは頂ける事はなかったし、ホテルスタッフ、友人など沢山の方に迷惑をかけてしまう事になりました。
とにかく「忘れてた」とか対応がいい加減過ぎます。
返金して頂きたいぐらいです。
ツアー自体も迫力はそんなにありませんし、海が荒れて舟が揺れるのはもちろん、ゲージの中でも高波で苦しいです。対応も含め、おすすめできません。
また、自分自身、ベルトラの知名度や信頼度も含めてこちらで予約させて頂いているので、ベルトラもこのようないい加減なツアー催行会社は掲載しないで頂きたいです。
We participated as a family of four. It was August, and all participants wore bodysuits. Those who were worried about seasickness purchased seasickness bands (for both wrists). Our family also took seasickness medication, but we wanted to enjoy ourselves, so we bought the bands. (Those without bands seemed to struggle with nausea!) We put on our snorkeling gear and jumped into the sea, following the person in front of us. We were lucky to swim with "dolphins," "sea turtles," and "fish" right away. After playing, we had lunch on the boat with hamburgers and fruit, and there was also a hula dance with the staff. Since we had signed up for photos ($60) on the bus ride there, we got to take commemorative pictures with the captain in the ship's upper control room, which made for great memories!
家族4人で参加しました。8月でしたが、参加者全員ボディスーツ着用して船酔いが心配な人は
酔い止めバンド(両手首)を購入しました。我が家も酔い止め薬は服用しましたが、楽しみたいのでバンド購入。(バンドない人は酔って辛そうでした!)シュノーケル道具一式を身に付けいざ、海に。前の人に続いて思い切りドボン!と飛び込み、すぐに「イルカ」「海亀」「魚」と一緒に泳げて、ラッキーでした。あそんだ後は、船上でハンバーガーとフルーツのランチやスタッフと一緒にフラダンスがありました。行きのバスの中で写真($60)申し込んでいたので、船の屋上操縦室でキャプテンと記念撮影や写真も優遇してもらったりしていい記念になりました!
We had a great time on the boat with our two kids and baby. They lived seeing the fish and turtles through the glass. The captain and his mate were very friendly. We would do this again!
We had a blast! The instructors were great. You can't do anything about the people who panic in the water... Wish you could though.
I think I went in August, which is the hottest time of the year. Even so, when the wind blows, it can be quite chilly. You definitely need something to wear over your swimsuit.
I visited on a Sunday in August, and there were quite a few people.
There aren't as many food stalls as in Japanese pools, so you have to wait in line for lunch.
The slides also had a decent line, so I couldn't ride them very much.
At the back, there’s a slide. I didn't initially understand how to line up, but the most popular slide (Rainbow Tube) is for two people or for the red and blue single-rider tubes. If you line up for the green tube, you'll waste time, so be careful. I saw many people having to line up again because of that. I also had to line up again at first...
I stayed for about 5 hours, excluding lunch, which means I spent around 4 hours in the pool. If I say I'm satisfied, then I am, but it's an expensive pool.
I recommend going on a weekday.
8月なので、一番暑い時期に行ったと思います。
それでも、風が吹くとまぁまぁ寒いです。
羽織るものは必要ですね
8月の日曜日に行きましたが、
そこそこ人がいます。
日本のプールほどではありませんが、売店も少ないので、
お昼は並びます。
スライダーもそこそこの行列でそんなに乗れませんでした。
奥にあるスライダー
並び方が最初はわかりませんでしたが、
一番人気のあるスライダー(虹のチューブ)は
2人乗り、または、赤と青の一人乗りチューブ用です。
緑チューブで並ぶと無駄な時間を過ごしますのでお気を付けください。
何人もそれで並びなおしをしているのを見かけました。
そういう私も最初は並びなおしになりましたが…
滞在時間 5時間 お昼ご飯の抜いて約4時間のプールですが、
満足と言えば満足
高いといえば高いプール
平日利用をお勧めします。
It's smaller in scale than I expected. Also, I wouldn't recommend the all-you-can-eat lunch. The drinks are only carbonated soda, and there are only about four types of food. The pre-made options from the shop are tastier and cheaper, in my opinion.
思ってたより規模が小さいです。
それとランチ食べ放題はお勧めしません。
飲み物は炭酸ジュースのみ。食べ物も4種類くらいしかなく、作りおきで売店の方が美味しいし安いと思います。
I participated in a different tour this time. At first, the English explanation was hard to understand, and I was really worried if I would be able to ride. However, I was able to ride from the first time. Since I had my first experience two years ago, I wonder if my body remembered it? I was able to fully enjoy the time until the end, and since it takes time to get to the waves, there was no need to wait even with a large group; the group lesson was more than enough.
前回と違うツアーに参加しました。最初英語の説明でわかりにくく本当に乗れるのかな?と不安でしたが1回目から乗れました。二年前に初めて経験していたので体も覚えていたのかな?あとは時間まで十分に満喫できました、波のところまで行くのに時間もかかるので大勢でも待つことはなくグループレッスンで十分ですよ。
I was able to see many sea turtles both from the boat and at the sandbar. The staff were friendly, and I had a very enjoyable time.
船上からもサンドバーについても多くのウミガメに会うことができました。
スタッフの方も気さくで、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
The arrangements were smooth. The pickup after arrival was also seamless, making it a great value and very convenient. I will definitely use this service again next time.
手配までもスムーズです。到着後もスムーズに送迎してもらえるので料金もお得で大変便利でした。次回もまた利用させて頂きます。

I attended my eldest son's wedding on Oahu. We played volleyball at the sandbar and had a snorkeling encounter with a turtle. We enjoyed delicious hamburgers, and our guide, Yuki, along with my son, Riza, helped create wonderful memories.
長男の結婚式でオアフ島に来てての参加でした。サンドバーでのバレーボール、シュノーケリングでカメとの出会い。美味しいハンバーガー、ガイドのユキさん、息子のライザ君、楽しい思い出作りができました。
All the guided snorkeling tours were booked, so we decided to just book the shuttle to Hanauma Bay and do our own snorkeling excursion. It worked out perfectly! The driver arrived at the pick up location on time, was polite and personable, and we didn't have to get up super early to snag a parking spot before the lot filled up. And the snorkeling was great!
The time described on the website was closely followed. Staff are friendly and accommodating.
Mahalo for your very kind words! We hope to see you again on your next island adventure.
This was a tour I had heard about from an acquaintance and absolutely wanted to try. It may seem simple to paddle out with a canoe and ride the waves back, but it’s incredibly fun. It takes about 30 minutes, so it's a great way to make some good memories when you have a little free time. I highly recommend it!
これは知り合いから聞いていて絶対やりたいと思っていたツアーでした。
カヌーで沖までこいで波に乗って帰ってくる単純に思えますが最高に楽しいです。
時間にして30分くらいなのでちょっと時間が空いた時に参加すると良い思い出になりますよ。
おすすめです!
Thank you for the 5-star review! We look forward to your next visit!
5つ星の口コミ、ありがとうございました! またのお越しをお待ちしております!
Had a blast. Crew is awesome and very helpful. Would definitely use this company again.
I booked this activity online. The driver picked us up from our hotel in Waikiki on time and drove us to the activity center which is about 25 minutes drive from Waikiki. Once we arrived they processed us with waivers etc. quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately that's when the wait started. We waited about 30 minutes for the shuttle boat to take us to the barge where the jet skis are docked. The shuttle ride is only about 10 minutes but once we arrived at the barge there was another 45 minute wait till we actually got on the jet skis. After a 30 minute ride, we were shuttled back to the activity center and then waited another 40 minutes for the shuttle bus to take us back to Waikiki.
The jet skiing was very fun. Jet skiing in the ocean with waves is a lot of fun with large sprays and a good speed rush. The staff were very friendly but they are very busy and you have to be prepared to wait around. In total it took us about 4 hours door to door to complete this activity.
Mahalo for such a nice review! We are happy you enjoyed your activities - come see us again!
Saw this performance with my teen age daughter. It was a great show and we both enjoyed it. It was a fun night out in Waikiki. The dancers are the best part in my opinion. Elvis has strong vocals. Good band too. Excellent stage show - very entertaining. The food was great - my steak was cooked perfectly. Beautiful presentation. Even my picky daughter liked the food and tried the lobster. We had great seats - center stage up front. Everyone was very welcoming and the wait staff attentive. The drinks are quite tasty and pretty potent. We did the VIP package and the welcome mai tai was delicious. I'm glad we went.
This was an excellent ride and tour! Wish we would have booked it for longer than one hour. FUN had by all!!!
