We went as a family of four with our 2-year-old and 5-year-old children. We played in the kids' pool, wave pool, and lazy river, and the kids were thrilled. The time until 3 PM was just right. We rented a cabana, but there were regular chairs with umbrellas available, so I think it wasn't necessary on a weekday during the off-season. There is a service where a Japanese staff member can bring food, but it was a bit inconvenient since there were no call buttons. In our case, they arrived around 1 PM, but we had already purchased our food. It might be a good idea to arrange to meet at noon during the initial greeting. Additionally, ① There are no towels, so make sure to bring your own. ② You probably won't need the free drinks. You can bring one unopened bottle of water, which should be sufficient. ③ Small floaties for kids and arm floaties are allowed.
2歳、5歳の子と家族4人で行きました。子供用プール、波のプール、流れるプールで遊びましたが、子供たちは大喜び、時間も15時までで丁度よかったです。カバナレンタルをしましたが、パラソル付きチェアーが普通に空いていてseason offの平日は必要ないかと思いました。一応食事を日本人スタッフが買ってきてくれるサービスがありますが、呼ぶボタンなどもないので使いづらかったです。うちの場合は13時頃にきましたがもう購入済みでした。最初の挨拶の時に12時に待ち合わせなどするといいかもしれません。その他、①タオルはないので持っていきましょう ②フリードリンクはたぶんいらない。未開封の水1本持ち込み可なのでそれで充分だと思います。 ③子供用の小さい浮輪、腕に付ける浮輪は持ち込み可 でした。

There are various types of water slides, and since we went on a weekday, we were able to ride them multiple times! I thought the time might be short, but by the end, I was a little bored, and it was just the right time for the bus. I recommend eating lunch early as it gets crowded.

It's a fulfilling experience that includes visiting mysterious places and enjoying snorkeling. The tour guide was knowledgeable and shared many interesting stories, which made it enjoyable. I was surprised to see a Hawaiian monk seal in the shallow waters, something you rarely encounter. At Kaneana Cave, I captured an unprecedented number of orbs in my photos. Having lunch while looking at the deep blue sea felt extraordinary and luxurious.

I read reviews and was prepared to wait in long lines for the slides, but perhaps because it was a weekday, it was not crowded at all. There were only a few groups in line, and we enjoyed the slides from morning until closing. Even at lunchtime, there were only a few people in line, so we were able to buy our food smoothly. I am very satisfied.
口コミを見ると、スライダーが行列でたくさん待つと覚悟していましたが、平日だからか空いていて、数組しか並んでいなく、朝から終わりまでひたすらスライダーで楽しみました。お昼も数名しか並んでおらず、スムーズに買えました。大満足です。

The price and content are about the same. However, the round trip bus drive to the destination was surprisingly enjoyable. Many people were sleeping on the bus ride back... It had a different Hawaiian feel compared to downtown Honolulu, and I thought it was nice to be swayed on the bus.
However, since a middle-aged couple participated, I wished they would refrain from calling each other "papa" and "mama." It brought me back to reality all at once.
値段と内容は同程度。
ただ、目的地までの往復のバスドライブは意外と楽しかった。
帰りのバス中は結構寝ている人が多かったが・・・
ホノルル中心部とは違う ハワイらしさがあって the busで
揺られてもいいなぁ と思ったりもした。
ただ、中年夫婦が参加したため仕方がないが

I participated in this tour on my honeymoon. Although I couldn't see any dolphins during the first two tries, I was able to see them swimming slowly in a pod up close during the next two attempts. I also saw rays and sea turtles, and it was an amazing experience to witness the sea turtles surfacing for air.
Listening to Alisa made me want to maintain an eco-friendly lifestyle even after returning from Hawaii.
The wind was strong and it was cold on the boat, so I recommend renting a wetsuit. I have participated in two other dolphin tours in the past, where I was able to buy disposable underwater cameras at the wetsuit rental location, but this time we didn't stop at such a store. If you want to use a disposable underwater camera, I think it would be good to purchase one in advance at an ABC Store or similar. However, on this tour, the photographer Michael took a lot of great photos of all the participants, as well as beautiful shots of the dolphins and sea turtles, so it was more than enough. Since you can focus on snorkeling rather than taking pictures, I think a camera is unnecessary if you join this tour.
Thank you, Takao, Alisa, and Michael, for a wonderful experience!
ハネムーンでの参加でした。
イルカは最初2回のトライでは見れませんでしたが、その後2回は群れになってゆっくり泳ぐところを間近で見ることができました。エイやウミガメも見れて、ウミガメとの息継ぎも見ることができ、最高の体験でした☆
アリサさんのお話を聞いて、ハワイから帰った後もエコな生活を心がけたいなと思いました。
船上は風も強く寒いので、ウエットスーツのレンタルをお勧めします。
過去に2回他のイルカツアーに参加したことがあるのですが、その際はウエットスーツをレンタルする場所で使い捨ての水中カメラを購入することができましたが、今回はそのような店舗に寄ることはなかったので、使い捨ての水中カメラを使用されたい場合は、事前にABCストアなどで購入して参加すると良いかと思います。ただこのツアーでは、カメラマンのマイケルが、参加者全員の写真をまんべんなくたくさん撮ってくれており、またイルカやウミガメの写真もとてもキレイに撮影されており、十分でした。写真を撮ることよりシュノーケルに集中できるので、このツアーに参加される場合はカメラは不要かなと思います。
タカオさん、アリサさん、マイケルさん、素敵な体験をありがとうございました!!
Michael loves taking photos of everyone and is a tour-loving photographer.
I'm very happy to have received compliments from YHO!

This was absolutely incredible! It was my first time ever being on a helicopter. This was a surprise for my girlfriend. My girlfriend was so impressed! Our Pilot, Mooch, was awesome! He actually flew for President Clinton. He was very knowledgeable and he would answer any questions we had. I would highly recommend this helicopter tour. We visited Pearl Harbor and we were able to view the US Arizona from the sky. We traveled around Waikiki and Diamond Head. We circled around the island and finished going by our hotel the Aulani. Make sure to bring a camera because you will have breathtaking picture opportunities. At one point we missed something and we told Mooch. He circled back around and hovered the helicopter so we could get a picture of what we missed. He went above and beyond. We both felt extremely safe with him in control of the helicopter.
I looked at many other helicopter tour packages and I am so glad I chose this option. It was affordable and definitely worth the money. It was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii.

I don't speak English, but I participated in this tour knowing that there would be no Japanese speakers or Japanese people present. Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I used Veltra three times, including this one.
For the first two times, the pickup was early, and a Japanese person came to greet us, but for this tour, no bus resembling the one we were expecting arrived despite waiting. The voucher mentioned to call if the pickup didn't arrive after 10 minutes, but it was in English. I became quite anxious, but the bus arrived about 20 minutes later.
I was quite flustered, but once we arrived safely at the destination, I was glad I had read the reviews thoroughly, as I understood the general itinerary and had no trouble at all. Depending on the purpose, some people might find it very enjoyable, but since it was a bit far and long, it might be good for just one time. I think we won't repeat it, especially since our next stay will likely be short as well. We gathered at 3:30 PM and returned to the hotel around 10 PM.
For those who want to get away from Japanese people and see an authentic luau show, I recommend this tour.
英語がしゃべれないけれど、このツアーは日本語が通じない、日本人がいないというのは承知の上参加しました。ハワイが初めてだったので、今回はベルトラさんをこれを含めて3回利用させて頂きました。
2回ともお迎えは時間前で日本人が来てくれたのですが、このツアーは待てど暮らせどそれらしいバスが来ません。10分たっても迎えが来ない場合は電話してくださいとバウチャーに書いてありましたが、英語対応とのこと。すごく不安になりましたが、20分後ぐらいに到着。
かなり焦りましたが、無事に現地到着し、口コミを熟読していたのが幸いし、現地でのだいたいの行程は理解していましたので全く困ることはありませんでした。
目的、人によってはすごく楽しいと思いますが、少し遠いし、長時間なので1回ぐらいは良いかもしれませんが、おそらく次回も短い滞在期間となると思うので私達はリピはないなと思います。集合15時半でホテルに戻って来たのは22時過ぎぐらいでした。
とにかく日本人から離れたいという方、本格的なルアウショウにが見たい方にはおすすめです。

I was expecting a pool and crazy slides in Hawaii! Unlike in Japan, there wasn't much waiting, and I was able to ride all the attractions in under 5 minutes. It's okay if you don't understand the language. There was a Japanese staff member at the locker rental area who helped with everything. However, when riding the attractions, you have to carry a large float up the stairs, which can be a bit challenging. The children's pool is also designed in an interesting way, and I saw some people entering while holding their babies. I recommend it for those who are tired of the slides you find at hotels!

ただ乗り物に乗る際は下で大きな大きな浮き輪を持って階段で上に登るので少し大変です。

The pool was very enjoyable, but outside food is not allowed, so we had no choice but to eat at the one restaurant there, which was a bit disappointing. Also, I didn't know that bringing floaties and boards was prohibited, so for those planning to go in the future, please be aware of that. I had a great time, and I would love to participate again next time.

I'm a repeat visitor. It's wild, so it's understandable, but this time I saw the least number of dolphins. They were far away and didn't come close. It's disappointing.
Due to the waves, I couldn't experience stand-up paddleboarding either.
It seems they made the boat larger, and it was two stories. I feel like the number of people on board hasn't changed, but going up and down is a bit of a hassle. Also, unfortunately, on this day, I couldn't use the restroom on the boat. I've never used it before, but when they say it's unavailable, it makes me anxious. I wonder if it will take a few days to fix... that's tough.
The photographer was really enthusiastic and made it a lot of fun.
リピーターです。野生なので仕方ないのですが、今回が一番イルカを見ることができませんでした。遠くにはいるのに、近くに来てくれない。ざんねんです。

We participated as a couple in our 50s. There were few Japanese people, and the explanations were in English, so our understanding was about 10-20%. But we had fun.
However, even though there were dolphins swimming, the explanations were long, so by the time we got into the water, the dolphins were gone, and we only got to snorkel for about 30-40 minutes.
The lunch was delicious. It included round-trip transportation to the point and free drinks (including alcohol).
Since we couldn't swim with the dolphins, the cost performance was not great.

I was lucky enough to encounter four sea turtles while traveling by boat. I've seen sea turtles on the beach before, but it was my first time seeing them swimming gracefully in the ocean. I also had an early encounter with dolphins and experienced how they gather in such large numbers.

It felt great to see the effort put into making the entire tour enjoyable, not just focusing on the main purpose of seeing dolphins, but also ensuring a pleasant experience from the bus ride to the end of the tour.

I thought I could have malasadas for breakfast, so I skipped breakfast, but I couldn't eat anything until lunch. What happened to the malasada photos from the past? I got to see dolphins, but since I jumped in with a five-year-old, it was quite exhausting to swim towards the dolphins. I couldn't keep up with the group at all and was struggling. Unfortunately, I couldn't see them while swimming. As a result, I ran out of energy to enjoy the marine activities, and the wait for the other participants' marine activities was long, which made me feel seasick halfway through, and it was quite tough. It seemed there were a few people who also got seasick. In the midst of all this, I was happy that the Japanese female staff member took great care of us.
朝マラサダが食べられると思い、朝ごはん抜きで来てしまったが、昼まで何も食べられなかった。過去のマラサダの写真は何だったのか?イルカには会えたが、私は5歳児と一緒に飛び込んだので、泳いでいるイルカの方に行くのはかなり体力消耗。集団に全然追いつけなくて必死だった。残念ながら泳ぎながら見ることは叶わなかった。なので、マリンアクティビティを楽しむ体力がなくなってしまい、他の参加者のマリンアクティビティ待ちが長くて、途中から船酔いしてしまい、かなりきつかった。船酔い組は何人かいたよう。そんななかで、日本人女子スタッフさんは甲斐甲斐しくお世話してくれて嬉しかったです。
Aloha!! Mr. Shinga,
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin University Tour. We have discontinued the provision of malasadas this year as they are fried foods that can easily cause seasickness. The dolphin tour can involve a lot of swimming depending on the dolphins and wave conditions that day, so our staff will continue to be mindful of caring for families with children during these times. We appreciate your valuable feedback.

この度はイルカ大学ツアーにご参加頂き、ありがとうございます。
マラサダのご用意は昨年より油を使った食べ物で、船酔いを引き起こしやすいということで廃止させて頂いております。
イルカのツアーはその日のイルカ先生や波の状況によって、すごくたくさん泳いだりもしますので、その際のお子様連れの方のケアなど
スタッフ一同さらに心掛けて、日々ツアーを向上していきたいと思います。
しんが様の貴重なご意見ありがとうございました。

I participated with my elementary and high school sons as a family. Shortly after boarding the boat, we were told that dolphins were nearby. We tried twice and were able to see many dolphins. There was even a baby dolphin in the pod, which was adorable. Later, we moved to a different spot for snorkeling where we saw sea turtles and various fish, and the kids were very excited. The cheeseburger we had on the boat was very delicious. It was a thoroughly satisfying tour.
小学生と高校生の息子達を連れて家族で参加しました。船に乗って間も無くイルカが近くにいるとの事。2回トライしてたくさんのイルカを見る事が出来ました。群れの中に赤ちゃんイルカもいて可愛いかったです。その後場所を変えてのシュノーケルではウミガメやお魚たちも見られたし、子供達も大興奮でした。船の上で食べたチーズバーガーがとても美味しかったです。大満足のツアーでした。

Thank you for participating in the manta tour. We are all very happy that you were able to experience something that is hard to come by in Japan. It’s also a wonderful memory to have encountered baby dolphins during this baby boom season! When you come to the Big Island again, we also have tours like Manta University, so we look forward to your next visit.

I'm not sure if it was due to the timing at the end of August or the cloudy and rainy weather, but it wasn't very crowded. There were slides that we could enjoy without waiting in line, and we had a lot of fun. The soft drinks were all-you-can-drink, and I had about three cups. We didn't opt for the all-you-can-eat option, but it seemed like there were time restrictions, so I think it's better to be able to eat what you want at your own convenience. It's quite far from Waikiki, so you should definitely include transportation.
8月末という時期的なものなのか、曇りのち雨という天候のせいなのかわかりませんがそれほど混んでおりませんでした。
並ばずに滑れるスライダーもあり、けっこう楽しめました。
ソフトドリンク飲み放題で3杯くらい飲みました。
食べ放題はつけませんでしたが、時間の指定があるようだったので、自分たちの都合に合わせて好きなものを食べられる方がいいと思いました。
ワイキキからは結構遠いので送迎はつけるべきです。

〇Kind and accommodating reservation changes
- I contacted them to change our departure date from Japan to one day earlier than originally planned, and I was worried about whether the change would be approved. However, three days before our departure, I received an email confirming the change, which relieved me, and I am grateful to VELTRA.
- The motivation for this trip came from my third-grade grandson, who requested to go to a place with a big pool and many attractions in Hawaii this year, so I decided to plan it.
- The participants included us and my eldest son's family (with two children).
〇Meeting Point
- We gathered at the three flagpoles in front of the Hilton at the Ilikai Hotel where we were staying, and at the meeting time, there were many Japanese tourists, including those from other tours. Since I have been on tours every year, I expected a large passenger vehicle (light van) as usual, but I was surprised to see a large bus.
- The bus driver took attendance, and we received wristbands according to our respective plans before boarding.
- The air conditioning on the bus was a bit too cold, but the grandchildren were very excited.
〇Entrance
- Bringing food and drinks is prohibited, and there is a check at the entrance. If you have any drinks, they will be confiscated, so please be careful. We brought a water bottle filled with ice (which passed through without issue).
- I didn't bring any valuables, but we used lockers for changing clothes.
- Since I did some research beforehand, everyone wore marine shoes, which were very helpful.
- The park was basically filled with various types of slides, primarily "thrill rides." The younger grandson was too short to ride the four-person slide we entered first, so he played with me in a small pool and had a good time. The older grandson, who wanted to ride, was very satisfied riding various slides with his father. In particular, he loved the super scary slide shaped like a trumpet in red, shouting loudly and having fun with his father, creating wonderful summer vacation memories.
- In terms of time, the older grandson wanted to play more, but overall, I think the duration was just right.
〇Future Plans
- I plan to go again next year with my eldest daughter and second son's family, along with my eldest son's family.

This was my fifth time in Hawaii, but my first experience snorkeling in West Oahu. I really felt lucky to be able to join this tour, as I wanted to visit Yokohama Bay. It had been a while since I swam, so I was a bit worried and hesitantly signed up for snorkeling, but after listening to the thorough explanations, we swam from the beach, which made it completely enjoyable without any anxiety. While listening to various explanations from the knowledgeable Akima, we toured power spots, and the wonderful scenery of the natural and quiet West Oahu, different from Waikiki and North Shore, was truly moving. We took an astonishing number of photos, and I feel like my husband and I will have a lot to talk about when we return home. I highly recommend this tour!
今回は5回目のハワイでしたが、始めての西オワフでシュノーケリングも初体験。ヨコハマベイに行ってみたいと思い、このツアーに参加できたことは本当にラッキーでした。泳ぎが久しぶりで心配でもあり恐る恐る申し込みしたシュノーケリングでしたが、しっかりと説明を聞いてから海岸から泳いでいくものでしたので、全く不安なく楽しめました。知識豊富なあきまさんから色々な説明を聞きながらパワースポットを巡ったり、ワイキキやノースショア、東オワフとはまた違った、自然のままの静かな西オワフの素晴らしい景色は感動ものです。写真もびっくりするくらいの枚数を撮っていただいて、帰国してからも主人と思い出話しに花が咲きそうです。本当にお勧めのツアーです!
Thank you for your review.
Yes, it is often said that West Oahu doesn't feel like "Oahu." There is an image of Oahu being synonymous with Waikiki and tourists. Since it is the least developed town, I believe you were able to enjoy the true Hawaii and its nature.
If you have the opportunity, please join us again.
Aloha,
Akima
レビューありがとうございます。
そうですね、西オアフは”オアフ島”だと思えないとよく言われます。オアフ=ワイキキ、観光客というイメージがあるのでしょう。一番開発されていない町ですので、本当のハワイと自然をお楽しみいただけたかと思います。
また機会がありましたら、ご参加ください。

This place sometimes has orbs, but it was the first time I saw so many. Monk seals can be found about 50% of the time, but it was really lucky to see one on the beach! I can't help but think that I would like to go to Makapu'u Heiau together next time with you, yossyi, as I feel something mysterious might happen...
If there’s another opportunity, I look forward to it!

この場所は時々オーブが移るのですが、こんなに映ったのは初めてです。
モンクシールは50%くらいの確率で見つかりますが、ビーチに入っていたのは本当にラッキーでした!
次はマカプウヘイアウに一緒に行ってみたいなーと勝手ながら思わせていただきました、yossyi様と行ったら何か不思議なことがおきるんではないかと・・・
機会がありましたらまたお待ちしております!
