Oahu
Kellina, our guide on Oahu, was wonderful. I would love to meet her again next time.
Her interesting talks were filled with rich knowledge, and I truly enjoyed it.
At the Polynesian Cultural Center in the second half, I was impressed by the sincere attitude of the student guides. The newlyweds who accompanied us were brought up on stage, and we enjoyed a fantastic performance that brought tears to our eyes.
Thank you very much.
オアフ島案内のケリナさん。素晴らしかったです。次回もぜひお会いしたいです。
面白いトークの中に豊富な知識が詰まっていて、本当に楽しかったです。
後半のポリネシア文化センターでは、案内の学生さんたちの誠実な態度に感心しました。
同行した新婚さんが舞台に引き出され、とってもいいパフォーマンスに涙しながら楽しみました。
ありがとうございました。

I wanted to see the evening show, so at first, I thought about joining a tour that only included the night show. However, when I searched on Veltra, I found a plan that also included island sightseeing, so I chose that one!
We were able to do sightseeing in the morning, and after arriving at the cultural center, we had a lunch buffet. After that, a Japanese student guide showed us around the center, and we got to ride canoes and have a mini experience of the show and hula dancing… and before we knew it, it was time for dinner and the night show.
It was great to enjoy a full day without wasting any time from morning to night! The night show was good, but the guide during the island sightseeing was truly wonderful, so choosing this plan was definitely the right decision!
Since the island sightseeing was in the morning, the places we visited were limited, but I was very satisfied with the breathtaking views of Hanauma Bay, the "What Tree is That?" tree, Dole's ice cream, and Matsumoto's Shave Ice in Haleiwa! We also enjoyed beautiful scenery from the car windows at various points! I recommend this island sightseeing for first-time visitors to Hawaii and for those who want to make effective use of their time!
夜のショーが見てみたくて、最初は夜のショーだけのツアーに参加しようと思いベルトラさんで探したら、島内観光も付いたプランがあり、そちらにしました！
午前中に観光出来て、文化センターに到着後にランチビュッフェ、その後日本の学生ガイドさんがセンター内を案内してくれてカヌーに乗ったり、ショーやフラダンスプチ体験したり…そしてあっという間に夕食&夜のショーでした。
朝から夜まで、丸一日無駄なく楽しめてとても良かったです！
夜のショーも良かったけど、島内観光の時のガイドさんがとても素晴らしい方だったので、このプランにして大正解でした！
島内観光は、午前中なので立ち寄る場所は、限られますがハナウマ湾の絶景、この木なんの木、ドールのアイス、ハレイワの松本シェイブアイスが堪能出来たので大満足！ポイント、ポイントで車窓から美しい景色も堪能出来ました！
島内観光は初ハワイの方、時間を有効に使いたい方におすすめです！

I participated with the goal of experiencing hula. It was great to have the handmade ti leaf lei and the guide's explanations of Hawaii's history, and I enjoyed listening to the chants as well. I think it would be even easier to participate if transportation was included.
フラの体験を目的に参加しました。ティリーフのレイ手作りやガイドさんのハワイの歴史の解説もあり、チャントも聞けて良かったです。送迎付きなら、もっと参加しやすいと思います。

So glad we did the half day tour which included some interesting parts of Honolulu itself. Larry was an awesome tour guide who made the tour even more enjoyable.
Pearl Harbour was a very sobering experience but also very informative
I would recommned going to the see the Arizona Memorial. the experience is just memorable. My boys love seeing the how the men and women survived on the ship and how they battled wars. At times it can be sad to see how life was and still is for these soldiers.
Great tour!!!!! just not enough time. Guide was excellent.
Best luau that I have been to. My family, including my teenage son, we all agreed it was the best time of our 8 day vacation. The Chief was funny and you felt like you were part of his family, All the performers, including the Chief were terrific and talented and so friendly .
Buffet was very good, the backdrop of the beautiful shore and ocean waves and the sunset was just too beautiful to describe.
This is the luau to go to!
Picked this tour to the north shore due to the choice of activities and since it had pick up from Waikiki. Mike was our guide and informative. Snorkelled at Shark's cove then headed to Waimea Bay for some snorkelling and beach time. Then chose to paddle boarding down the river near Haleiwa instead of kayaking. Ended the tour at Haleiwa. Good tour for the time spent up north and activities you could participate in and p/u provided.
The half-day tour of Oahu felt a bit too packed. The break in Haleiwa was particularly too long. It might have been better to stop at the North Shore beach for a photo opportunity instead. The guide's explanations were smooth and not boring, but I felt a sense of discomfort as the content focused too much on selling products. The Polynesian Cultural Center was excellent. The experiences were satisfying, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
オアフ島の半日観光は詰め込み過ぎのきらいあり。
特にハレイワでの休憩は長過ぎる。ノースショアの浜で、降車し撮影タイムを取った方が良かったのではないか？
ガイドの説明は、淀みなく、退屈でなかった、話の内容が商品の売り込みに終始していたので嫌悪感を覚えた。
ポリネシアン文化センターは秀逸。体験も満足でき、十二分に楽しめた。

Tour was wonderful and our tour guide, Patrick was amazing! Thank you Patrick for sharing your knowledge and good humor.
I participated in a North Shore horseback riding tour. We had about an hour's stay in Haleiwa, including lunchtime, so we couldn't take our time. The horseback riding experience seems to differ from the Japanese style. You ride a horse that matches your body type. The ride takes place near the beach. Since there is a compatibility between the horse and the rider, at first, the horse may be a bit excited and not used to the rider, but as it gets accustomed, it becomes easier to handle. It's good to communicate with the horse by talking to it. Each horse has its own personality; the horse I rode tended to walk on flat paths and strayed from the line in front, but I thought that was just its personality. The supporter leads the way, and we follow at that pace. There was another group with a foreigner who seemed to have an animal allergy and ended up with a swollen face after riding. Those with animal allergies should be cautious. You can't bring too much luggage while riding. You can't take photos with a DSLR camera while riding because the shutter sound can stress the horse. However, it's possible with a smartphone or compact camera, as long as it's small enough to fit in one hand and can be stored in a chest pocket. Since you'll be focusing on riding, you'll likely be able to take photos only after getting used to it. It’s difficult to take still images as they tend to blur.
ノースショアと乗馬ツアーに参加しました。
ハレイワには、1時間程度の滞在です。ランチ時間込みなので、ゆっくりはできません。
乗馬体験は、日本式とは乗馬の仕方が違うようです。
馬のチョイスは、その方の体型に合わせた馬に乗ります。
浜辺近くを乗馬します。馬との相性がありますので、最初は馬も乗る人に慣れなくて、、興奮気味ですが、次第に慣れてくると扱いやすくなります。
馬に声をかけながら、コミュニケーションを取るなどいいでしょう。
馬も其々個性があり、私が乗った馬は、平坦な道を歩こうとするので、前の列からはみ出し歩いていましたが、この馬の個性なんだな、、と思いました。
サポーターの方を先頭に歩きますし、そのペースに後ろからついて行く感じです。
他のグループですが、白人の外国人ですが、動物アレルギーをお持ちの方が乗馬をして、顔が腫れてしまったようです。
動物アレルギーの方は、注意した方がいいかもしれません。
手荷物は、多くを持っての乗馬はできません。
一眼レフカメラ等は乗馬しながらの撮影は出来ません。カメラのシャッター音が馬にストレスを与えるからだそうです。スマホ、コンデジカメラなら可能ですが、乗馬をしながらですから、片手で収まり、胸ポケに入る大きさなら大丈夫です。
乗馬に集中するので、写真が撮れるのはかなり乗馬に慣れてきてから、となりそうです。
ブレますので、静止画は撮れにくいです。

I love horse trekking and participated in this tour. Riding a horse and feeling the great outdoors was healing. The guide was the worst. Even though all the customers were from Japan, the tour started with criticism of Prime Minister Abe. He even told the customers to act like fools. I guess he meant to say let's loosen up and have fun, but as a person from Kansai, I somewhat understand the nuance. However, there are likely many people who feel uncomfortable with the word "fool." His language was also crude, and I wouldn't want to join a tour with this guide.
ホーストレッキングが好きでこのツアーに参加しました
馬に乗って大自然を感じ癒されました
ガイドが最低最悪
全員日本から来たお客さんなのに日本の安部首相の批難から始まったツアー
お客さんにアホになれとも言ってました
要はハメを外して楽しみましょうって事なんでしょうが
私は関西人なのでなんとなくニュアンスは分かるのですが、アホと言う言葉に拒否感を感じる人も少なくないはず
言葉遣いも汚いし、この人のガイドならツアーに参加したくないです

I was charged such a high tour price, and some participants were forced to buy overpriced items at souvenir shops, which was quite exhausting. It felt like a budget Japanese group tour, despite the high cost. However, once we arrived at the Polynesian Cultural Center, the student guides were doing their best, and it was theme park-like, so the children were enjoying themselves.
こんなに高いツアー金額を取られ、おみやげ屋さんでぼったくりの商品を買わされている参加者もいて、なんだか疲れました。
格安日本人団体ツアーのような内容です。高いのに。
ポリネシアセンターについてからは、学生ガイドさんたちが頑張っていたし、テーマパークらしく、子供たちも楽しんでいましたが。

Was really well done. Worth the money. Great entertainment and food.
We had an amazing time. It was more then what we expected. From the tour bus to the food and great entertainment we never stopped smiling or laughing. I would recommend this to family and friends. My husband and I have been to a Luau before and this was the first time for our boys who are 13 & 11. They loved ever minute of it.
It was said to be an intermediate course, but even I, who usually lack exercise (turning 60 this year), was fine. The guide mentioned that their Japanese wasn't very good, but since we were looking at flowers and trees, I didn't feel much inconvenience. They were considerate, showing us the names of things we found that are also in Japan. I had a wonderful experience with a family of five from abroad.
中級コースと言う事でしたが、日頃運動不足の私(今年還暦)でも大丈夫でした。ガイドの方は日本語はあんまりと言われていましたが、花や木を見ながらなのであまり不便は感じませんでした。日本にもあるものを見つけると名前を呼んで見せてくれたりと気を使ってもらってました。外国の親子５人と一緒に楽しい体験が出来ました。

We opted for the 5-star menu, and it was awesome. food was delicious, and service was fantastic. It was a terrific way to celebrate our anniversary.
We had a wonderful evening. Food was great, entertainment was fun. Very helpful staff. Would recommend this to everyone.
Wonderful trip around the island and informative and enjoyable day / night at the Polynesian centre and luau
We really enjoyed our Hawaii Five-0 tour. It was fun to see the many locations we have seen on television. We also really enjoyed our guide's expertise. The highlight of the tour was our time at the home for Steve McGarrett. The owners of the home were very special people. The only downside was it was off season so we didn't get to experience an actual taping of the show. Still would give this tour 5 stars! Thank you!
I participated with my parents. I've been to the North Shore many times, but this was my first time horseback riding there! It was fun to see the ocean while riding. My parents enjoyed it too. However, there was absolutely no service, like taking photos for us, and in the end, we had to ask for a picture, but there was no communication at all, so we weren't even sure if it was taken or not... (laughs) I thought they could be a bit friendlier. (laughs) It had been a while since I visited Haleiwa, and I was surprised at how much it had changed. (laughs) Overall, the tour was very good!
両親と参加しました。
ノースは何度も行ってますが、ノースでの乗馬は初めて！
海を見ながら、楽しかったです。両親も楽しんでました。
ただ、写真を撮ってくれたりなどサービスが全くなく、最後にお願いして撮ってもらいましたが、声かけもなにもなく、撮れているんだかないんだかで。。（苦笑）もう少し愛想よくすればいいのに・・と思いました。（笑）
久々のハレイワ、あまりに変わっててびっくりしました。（笑）
ツアー的には、とてもよかったです！

Informative and emotional experience on that day that will be remembered in infamy.
Every one should endeavor to make this trip at some point in their lives.
The tour guide spoke only in English, but it was fine since we just had to follow along. It was a standard plan, but we were able to see quite closely. There was a lot of talking, so I think it would have been more enjoyable if I understood English better. The fire dance was impressive with a large crowd. The food was typical buffet fare, and the only traditional Hawaiian dish was kalua pork. If you're not specifically looking for Hawaiian cuisine, it was enjoyable enough.
ツアーガイドは英語のみですが、付いていくだけなので問題はありませんでした。スタンダードプランでしたが、結構近くで見れました。トークが多いですので、英語が解ればより楽しめたと思います。ファイアーダンスは大勢で迫力がありました。料理は一般的なビュッフェ料理で、ハワイ伝統料理はカルーアポークくらいでした。ハワイ料理が目的でなければ、十分楽しめる内容でした。

This was a well organized tour. Bus driver talked about the island the entire trip there and back. She took us through different parts of the island and explained things about the different trees, island history and even some museum stops we could make our selves on the island. We knew exactly what to do when we arrived at Peral harbor. The experience there was a somber one. As expected. Great tour. I will recommend this one to others for sure.
What a great experience. The buss was right on time. The driver was funny and knowledgeable. She talked about the island as we drove to the Sea Life center. The Laura was very well organized, the setting was amazing. Made you feel like you were miles from anywhere. The show and culture was perfect. The fire dancers were my favorite. Food! Wow, very well done. I highly recommend this Laura. We were not disappointed, I actually figured these thing are touristy and would not have much Culture in the program. Not this one. It's great I thought.
From breathtaking Hanauma Bay to the Byodo Temple and Pali Lookout, this tour was captivating. Our driver/guide was excellent. Both of our tours by Enoa were outstanding. Pickups and tours were on time. Very reasonable fees! Highly recommend Ventura!
From the minute we boarded the bus, our tour guide/bus driver "Theus" was great. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Showed us extra things along the way with facts about Hawaii in general but also about great eating places and the local food. Definitely worth a trip.
Thank you for getting us too and from our events in a safe and timely manner. The graduates enjoyed the comfortable ride.
The driver was knowledgeable - talkative - kind - and on time..
the whole experience was great
Was a great tour. Guide was very knowledgeable and was very entertaining. Well worth the money. Definitely recommend.
