All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

The Diamond Head hike was absolutely unforgettable—a perfect blend of adventure and breathtaking views. The tour was smooth and hassle-free from start to finish, thanks to our awesome bus driver, Moko, who brought the perfect mix of local knowledge and good vibes. He made everything easy, from pick-up to drop-off, setting the tone for a brilliant morning. Reaching the summit and taking in the panoramic views of Waikiki was the ultimate reward—definitely a highlight of the trip

Our guide, Jonah, was very kind and taught us many things while we were sightseeing! This is my fifth time in Hawaii, but I discover something new every time. I think this slightly niche plan is great for those who have visited several times, as it offers a classic experience with a little extra!

For lunch, there are not only Giovanni's garlic shrimp but also many food trucks, which is fantastic. My daughter had pizza, I had a shrimp and poke bowl, and my husband had the large burger in the photo.

There are also restrooms conveniently located, so I think families with children can participate without worry. Every time, the tours from Veltra have been a hit!

ガイドのジョナさんがとても親切でいろんなことを教えてくれながら観光できました！
ハワイは5度目ですが、毎回新しい発見があります。
ちょっとマニアックなこのプランは何度か来ている人には王道プラスアルファで良いと思います！
ランチもジョバンニのガーリックシュリンプだけではなくて、いろんなフードトラックがめっちゃあるのでいいです。うちは娘がピザ、私がシュリンプとポキの丼、パパは写真のデカいバーガーでした。
トイレも要所要所にちゃんとあり子供連れでも安心して参加できると思います。
毎回、ベルトラさんのツアーは当たりが多いです！

It was a concentrated tour that allowed us to enjoy pineapples and various sightseeing spots in Hawaii. I signed up for the tour because I wanted to visit the Dole fields and factory, and I felt it was at a satisfying level, providing even more experiences than I expected.

From our hotel in Waikiki, we took a car, and the guide, who was alone, had an incredible amount of knowledge about the various famous spots in Hawaii along the way, including the Dole fields and factory.

It seems that Dole is a different company from the Dole Plantation, which is a tourist attraction across the street. I mistakenly thought that if we went to the Dole Plantation ourselves, we could have the same factory tour. Since we wouldn't have been able to visit the fields and factory without signing up for this tour, I believe it was a valuable experience. (After the factory tour, we had a little time to visit the Dole Plantation, where we could also buy souvenirs.)

At the fields, we were able to see the harvesting and had fresh pineapples cut right there. After the factory tour, we enjoyed cold cut pineapples and straight pineapple juice produced at the factory, which made me very happy. (They also offer coffee and chocolate tastings, and there are some small souvenirs for sale.)

After that, we went to Haleiwa for some free time, and later at the macadamia nut souvenir shop, we could taste many samples and buy souvenirs. Additionally, we visited two coffee shops where we had restroom breaks and could taste a lot of coffee.

On the way back, we took photos of King Kamehameha and, even from the car, we could see Hawaii's Izumo Taisha, Chinatown, and wall art while listening to the guide share a lot about Hawaii's history, which was educational.

I think it was a very fulfilling day.

パイナップルづくしと各所のハワイ観光ができて濃縮したツアーでした。
ドールの畑や工場見学がしたくて、申し込んだツアーでしたが、満足できるレベルでしたし、それ以上の体験ができたと感じています。

ワイキキのホテルから車に乗って、道中の所々のハワイの名所からドールの畑や工場の案内まで、お一人でされていたガイドさんの知識量は凄かったです。

ドールは畑・工場と、向かい側にある観光名所のドールプランテーションとは違う会社のようで、自分たちでドールプランテーションに行けば同じ工場見学ができると勘違いしていました。今回のツアーに申し込まないと畑と工場の見学はできないので、貴重な体験だったと思います。（工場見学後にドールプランテーションにも少し行く時間があったので、そちらのお土産も買うことができました。）

畑では収穫の見学時に畑のパイナップルをその場でカットしていただけて、工場見学後も冷たいカットパインと工場で製造しているストレートのパイナップルジュースをいただけてパイナップルづくしで幸せでした。（コーヒーやチョコレートの試食、ちょっとしたお土産も売っています。）

その後、ハレイワに行って自由行動と、その後、マカダミアナッツのお土産屋さんではたくさん試食ができてお土産も買えました。
その他にも二か所コーヒーショップに行けてトイレ休憩もコーヒーの試飲がたくさんできました。

帰りはカメハメハ大王の写真を撮ったり、車中からでも、ハワイの出雲大社、チャイナタウン、ウォールアートを見ながら帰れましたし、ガイドさんのハワイの歴史をたくさん聞きながら勉強にもなりました。

とても、充実した1日になったと思います。

Movie site tour was incredible, best scenery of east side of island.

The beach house in Haleiwa had a great view of the ocean, and the food was delicious! This time I had loco moco and a cheeseburger. I've been to Haleiwa a few times, so I'm happy that the tour only provides transportation and allows for a longer stay. I plan to use it again next time!

ハレイワのbeachhouseは、海が見えて、料理も美味しかった❣️今回はロコモコとチーズバーガーを食べました
ハレイワは何回か行ってるので、送迎だけのツアーで滞在時間が長いのは、うれしい😃
次回もまた利用するつもりです

It was my first time on a Segway, but they taught me how to ride it carefully, and I had a really fun experience. I'm glad I signed up. I want to ride again!

初めてのセグウェイでしたが、乗り方を丁寧に教えて頂き、とっても楽しく体験することが出来ました。
申し込んで良かったです。また乗りたい〜

Our guide, Mike, was knowledge and the tour gave us the opportunity to fit everything in on our checklist.

This was my second visit to the North Shore. Last time, it was part of a tour, and we only had about two hours, just enough time to eat garlic shrimp and Matsumoto Shave Ice.

This time, my goal was to have Huli Huli chicken, take photos at the Haleiwa sign, have a surfing lesson, and leisurely explore the North Shore. I was worried about renting a car, and taking the bus would be a waste of time... I thought I’d be tired on the way back... so how would I get to the Haleiwa sign? That’s why I chose this tour with Veltra.

With two groups participating, we arrived around 8:30 AM, and the driver kindly took us to the Haleiwa Town sign first, as I wanted to take photos with my whole family there. I was very happy about that.

There are some shops that open at 9 AM, but it seems the Huli Huli chicken place opens around 9:45, so we had about 30 minutes to walk around Haleiwa Town. By lunchtime, there was a huge line, so it was great that we arrived early.

The chicken was crispy, juicy, and very delicious. It was quite filling. We split into two groups for the surfing lesson and exploring Haleiwa Town & mini tour. The other group seemed to go snorkeling, so it ended up being just my mother and me for the mini tour, and they adjusted the timing for us.

This mini tour exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend participating if you have no other plans! The additive-free soap from the soap factory was incredibly good for my sunburned skin during my stay in Hawaii, and I wish I had bought more. We enjoyed tasting and touring at the coffee factory, and the park with balance rocks was surrounded by magnificent nature, which was very healing. Luckily, we saw three sea turtles basking in the clear water! It would have been difficult to get there on my own, and I couldn’t walk for long in the heat, so I was glad I participated.

On the way back, the driver kindly asked if they should pick us up at the beach for the surfing lesson. Although it was a different company, the surfing lesson seemed to be very good, and my whole family enjoyed it.

If I could wish for anything, it would be to have one more hour to relax, but overall, it was a very satisfying experience at the North Shore! Thanks to our kind driver. Thank you!

ノースショアは2回目のリベンジです。前回はツアーに組み込まれており、2時間ほどしかなく、ガーリックシュリンプとマツモトシェイブアイスを食べて終わりました。
今回の目的はフリフリチキンと、ハレイワ看板で写真、サーフィンレッスン、ノースショアをゆっくり散策したい、です。
レンタカーは怖いし、バスは時間のロス…帰り疲れてそうだし…ハレイワの看板まで何で行く？…ということでこのベルトラのツアーにしました。
2組の参加で朝8:30頃には到着し、ドライバーさんにワガママを言って先にハレイワタウンの看板まで連れてってくださいました。家族全員で看板と写真を撮りたかったのでとても嬉しかったです。
9時からオープンのお店も所々ありますが、フリフリチキンは9:45頃開店らしいので、30分ほど持て余しハレイワタウンを歩きました。お昼頃は大行列になってたので朝早くて良かったです。
チキンはパリパリジューシーでとても美味しかったです。ボリュームたっぷりでした。
サーフィンレッスンと、ハレイワタウン散策&ミニツアー参加で家族二手に別行動しました。
もう一組の参加者はシュノーケルに行ったみたいで、ミニツアーは母と2人だけの貸切でしたので、時間も合わせてくださいました。
このミニツアーが期待以上で、特に予定なければ参加をオススメします！
ソープファクトリーの無添加石鹸が、ハワイ滞在中の日焼けで荒れた肌に、ものすごく良くてもっと買えばよかったです。コーヒーファクトリーで試飲と見学を楽しみ、バランスロックのある公園が壮大な自然で、自然に癒されました。運良く透明度の高い海でホヌ3匹が甲羅干しをしているのを見れました！自力では行きにくく、暑さで長く歩けなかったので、参加して良かったです。
帰りにサーフィンレッスンのビーチまで迎えに行こうかと聞いてくださり優しかったです。別の会社ですが、サーフィンレッスンもとっても良かったみたいで、家族全員楽しめました。
欲を言えば、もうあと1時間あれば余裕があって嬉しいですが、全体的にとても満足のいくノースショアになりました！
親切なドライバーさんのおかげです。
ありがとうございました！

The bus arrived 15 minutes before the meeting time, so I was relieved to recognize it right away. While looking for various activities during my free time, I found an event that piqued my interest and made a reservation. Since it was a new service, I boarded with excitement. The female staff member greeted us cheerfully in Japanese and explained the equipment very thoroughly. The device can be adjusted to fit each individual, allowing for a personalized setup. Once the video started, multiple power stones appeared. By using my palms to grab them, I could hear various explanations about Hawaii's history.

As a tip for grabbing, I was able to catch several by quickly and firmly grabbing them. My husband mentioned that it was difficult to react with long sleeves, so it might be better to roll them up. While listening to various scenery and explanations in the video, we quickly reached the final stop. The staff were very cheerful, and I was grateful that they took photos for us after getting off the bus.

集合時間の15分前にはバスも到着しており、このペイントなので直ぐにわかり安心しました。
スキマ時間に色々探していた所、未体験で興味を持ったイベントを見つけて予約しました。まだ新しいサービスとの事でワクワクしながら乗車　スタッフの女性は日本語で明るく接して頂き、装置説明もとても丁寧に教えていただきました。頭に装置をセットし個々に合わせてサイズ調整も可能な為、自分サイズでセット出来ます。映像が流れだすとパワーストーンがいくつも現れます。自分の手のひらを使ってグッとつかみゲットするとハワイの歴史や色々な説明を聞く事ができます。
つかみ方のコツとして私は素早くグッとつかむ感じでいくつもゲット出来ました。主人は服の袖口が長いと反応しづらいと言ってたので袖口はまくってた方が良いかもしれません。映像で色々な景色や解説を聞きながらアッと言う間に終点。
スタッフの方がとても朗らかでバス降車後に写真も撮って頂きありがたかったです。

Picked up on time, arrived at Diamond Head with plenty of time to take pictures etc. Family friendly tour, the malasadas were so yummy! Great views, no rush to finish the hike.

Our tour guide John was such a joy. There were only 7 people on the tour, so John had the time to make everyone feel special and spend time with each of us.
John had a great knowledge of the island and didn’t rush through the stops.
Highly recommend this tour and John as the tour guide.

Amazing for adults and kids. The bus driver was funny and amazing !!! Thank you so much for the entertainment.
Beautiful

The seating is way to close they are cramming as many people as they can on the boat . The food was not good the meat was not appetizing looking or tasting . The view from the top deck is nice but they really really need to work on the food if they are going to charge you so much we had to get food after still because we couldn’t eat the food from the buffet

Visiting the Punchbowl National Cemetery was a must for my family history, so I was happy to find a tour that has so much inclusion, was a well planned day.

Visiting both the Arizona and Missouri sites gave us a full perspective on all Pearl Harbor scarifies.

Whether you’re a movie buff or just love beautiful landscapes, this tour is perfect for a more relaxed day inside Kualoa :)

Booking the shuttle and ticket together on a tour like this is a smart choice, as it saved my larger time and stress to secure Arizona tix!

Dinner was delicious with a good variety of Hawaiian favorite dishes. We had rear seating, but still had a clear view of the stage and all the action!

Plenty of gorgeous photo stops along the way, and so much knowledge from our tour guide presented as well!

The performers at Mauka were truly amazing—especially the thrilling fire knife finale!!

The sunrise at the summit was breathtaking, the hike up is a bit hard as it is dark out, but the views from the top make every step worth it!

The buffet had a decent selection with carved roast beef, chicken, and sides. It’s not a luxury gourmet meal, but for the price it was solid and filling.

The fireworks we paid for were only 4 minutes long. The food was alright. The staff was friendly.

I participated in a beginner-level plan with shuttle service. There is a bus to Kualoa Ranch, and at the information desk, there are Japanese staff or staff who can speak Japanese.

When you arrive at Kualoa Ranch, the Japanese staff will instruct Japanese participants to gather together. Once gathered, they will explain the basic flow and locations in Japanese, so there’s nothing to worry about.

There were no Japanese-speaking staff on the return bus. It was initially sunny at Kualoa Ranch, but it gradually became cloudy.

It was my first time on an E-bike. At first, there is practice on the course. I applied the brakes as I would on a regular bicycle, but they are very effective, so be careful. Make sure to apply the brakes slowly.

Once you get used to it, there are no problems. The activity guide communicates only in English. Before starting the activity, they show you how to operate the E-bike with a video that has Japanese subtitles. During the activity, it is completely English-only.

送迎有り初心者レベルのプランに参加しました。クアロアランチまでの行きのバスとクアロアランチのインフォメーションデスクに日本人もしくは日本語を話せるスタッフがいます。
クアロアランチに着くと日本人スタッフなどが日本人は集まるようにと指示してくれます。集まったら簡単な流れや場所の説明等を日本語でしてくれるので何も心配いりません。
帰りのバスには日本語を話せるスタッフは乗車しませんでした。
クアロアランチは最初は晴れていたんですがだんだんと曇り空になりました。
初めてのEバイクでした。最初、コースで練習があります。普通の自転車の感覚でブレーキをかけたのですが思いっきりブレーキが利いてしまうので注意してください。ゆっくりブレーキをかけるようにしましょう。
慣れれば何も問題有りません。アクティビティのガイドは英語だけでやり取りします。アクティビティを始める前にEバイクの操作方法を日本語の字幕が付いたビデオで見せてくれます。アクティビティ中は完全に英語オンリーです。

ジェイソンは素晴らしいガイドです。彼はハワイの文化について私たちに知識を共有してくれ、とても楽しみました。ありがとう、そしてアフイホ！

Jason is an awesome guide. He shared his knowledge about Hawaiian culture with us and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you and a hui ho!

It was amazing! There are so many shops I want to visit in Haleiwa Town, and I think it would be even better if we had a bit more free time!

最高でした！ハレイワタウンで寄りたいお店がたくさんあり、自由時間がもう少し長いとさらに良いと思います！

"Be punctual."
I had a stomachache in the morning and informed them that I needed to go to the restroom, but I ended up being three minutes late to the meeting time. After that, I was subjected to snide remarks in the car.

If I were to hear such comments on my honeymoon, it would really ruin my mood. When I tried to give a tip that corresponded to the service, I was told, "I don't need it!" which left me feeling quite unpleasant.

I only handed over a tip for the service, but it seemed like there was a requirement to give at least $20 in the car. I was filled with the feeling of, "What? After making me feel this way?"

I think it could be fun if you get a good guide, but since this isn't a cheap tour, I would recommend avoiding tours where you might get lucky or unlucky.

Personally, I won't be using this service again.

「時間厳守」
朝お腹が痛くなりトイレ行ってきます。とお伝えし、集合時間に3分遅れてしまったのですが、その後の車の中でぐちぐち嫌味を言われました。

新婚旅行でそんな嫌味を言われたら気分も悪くなり、サービスに相当するチップを渡したら「いらないよ！」といわれ、かなり嫌な気持ちになりました。

サービスに対するチップを渡しただけなのですが、車の中には最低20ドルを出してください。と記載がされていた様で、「え？こんな思いさせといて？」という気持ちでいっぱいです。

ガイドさんが当たれば楽しいと思いますが
安いツアーでもないので当たり外れがあるツアーを申し込みするくらいなら、やめた方がいい思います笑

個人的には、もう利用しません。

This tour allows you to fully enjoy Haleiwa. There is plenty of time, and the mini tour takes you to places that are not accessible on foot, so I was really satisfied. Since I participated on a Sunday, I finally got to try the famous Huli Huli chicken. It was delicious.

ハレイワを存分に満喫出来るツアーです。
時間はたっぷりあるし、ミニツアーでは、徒歩では行けない場所を案内して頂けるので、ほんとに大満足でした。
今回は日曜日に参加したので、念願のフリフリチキン。
美味しかったです。

I had a great time with 90 minutes at Dole and 120 minutes at Haleiwa, and the driver was very proficient in Japanese. I was satisfied to finally enjoy the Dole train and the Huli Huli chicken in Haleiwa!

ドール90分、ハレイワ120分とゆっくり時間が取ってあり、かつ、日本語に堪能なドライバーさんで大変良かったです。念願のドールのトレインとハレイワのフリフリチキンが食べられて満足しました！

I am going around personally, and I have a great time with very kind people. All explanations will be in English. I think it will be a good experience for children as well.

個人回りしてますが、すごく親切で楽しい時間を過ごせます。説明は全部英語になります。子供にも良い体験になると思います。
