現地1/30(月)
母の還暦祝いにハワイ旅行をプレゼントしました。
1月下旬のハワイは風が強いためかなり肌寒く、スコール頻度が高かったです。

ツアーには日本人が3組と、外国人が3.4組ほどの合同でホテルまでの送迎付きで参加しました。

CMでよく見るサンドバーを想像していましたが、着いた時は曇天、潮位も腰ぐらい、水温もかなり冷たかったので、想像してたのとは違いがありました。
サンドバーでは同じツアーの日本人家族とバレーボールで激しく動いたのでその時は寒さを感じませんでした(笑)
船に戻るとものすごく寒すぎて日本人はみなブルブル震えていました。なので、タオルは多めで大きいの、羽織物も必須です。
船上では、日本人女性ガイドさんが親切にわかりやすく説明してくれました。
昼食は船上で焼いたハンバーガー
美味しかったです♪

ウミガメウォッチングでは、見事に大きなウミガメが何匹も海面に顔を出していました！
さらに、人生初大きな野生のマンタにも会うことができました！

シュノーケリング
思ってたよりかなり深く水深は約10-15mとのこと。
前日の大雨やスコールの影響で水中はかなり濁ってました。
近くまでいかないと何も見えない状況下の中で、なんとか大きな珊瑚と小魚見つけました(笑)
さらに急に野生のウミガメが現れてビックリ！
水温がかなり低かったので長居は出来ませんでしたが、貴重な体験をすることが出来ました！

ハワイ初シュノーケルは天候に恵まれなかったので残念でしたが、ツアー自体は見応えあって満足しています！
次こそは乾季の時期にもう一度トライしたいと思います！

I enjoyed the night show from a very good seat. The dance show was on a large scale and was even more amazing than I had imagined. I'm glad I participated.

ナイトショーはとても良い席で楽しませていただきました。
ダンスショーは規模が大きくて想像しているよりも凄く、
参加してよかったです。

I challenged myself to horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, located about an hour by bus from Honolulu.

It seems to be a very popular tour, as the large shuttle bus was nearly full with other guests heading to different attractions at the ranch.

Horseback riding check-in times are divided into groups of about 5 to 6 people. I should have stored my belongings in a locker before that time, but I had a bit of trouble. I regret not having checked in my things earlier.

Video recording is prohibited, but photography is allowed. It's convenient to have a neck strap for your smartphone.

You confirm how to ride and safety precautions by watching a video in Japanese. Then, you immediately get on the horse, and the approximately two-hour horseback riding tour begins without any practice.

One instructor and 5 to 6 beginners start riding through the woods. This casual vibe definitely gives off an American impression.

After a while, I could see the green of the steep mountains on my left, cliffs on my right, and the blue sea stretching beyond the cliffs. It was breathtakingly beautiful. However, since I was on a mischievous horse, it felt a bit life-threatening (laughs).

As we continued, we reached the meadows that served as filming locations for the movie "Jurassic Park" and the drama "LOST." The scenery here was very moving. The two hours flew by, and I had a great time.

Depending on the horseback riding check-in time, the bus times for the return trip may vary. If you have other plans in the evening, you might need to be careful.

ホノルルからバスで１時間ほどのところにある、クアロア牧場で、乗馬に挑戦してきました。

とても人気のあるツアーのようで、送迎の大型バスは、同牧場の他のアトラクションの方々と同乗で、ほぼ満席状態でした。

乗馬は、5～6人ほどのグループごとにチェックインの時間が分けられています。その時間までに荷物をロッカーへ入れておくべきだったのですが、少し手間取りました。早めに預けておけば良かったと反省しています。

動画は禁止ですが、写真撮影はOK。スマホ用の首掛けストラップを用意しておくと便利です。

乗馬の仕方や注意事項は、日本語のビデオを見て確認します。そして、すぐに馬に乗り、何の練習もなく、約２時間の乗馬ツアーが始まりました。

インストラクター１人と、5～6人の初心者が、馬に乗って林の中を歩き出します。こういうザックリした感じは、やっぱりアメリカだな、という印象です。

しばらく行くと、左手には切り立つ山の緑、右手に崖、崖の先に広がる海の青が見えてきました。感動の美しさです。しかし、ヤンチャな馬の背に乗っていたので、ちょっと命がけでもありました(笑)

さらに歩いていくと、映画『ジュラシックパーク』や、ドラマ『LOST』のロケ地になった草原に出ます。ここはとても感動的な景色。２時間はあっという間で、とても楽しかったです。

乗馬のチェックインタイムによって、帰りに乗れるバスの時間が違うようです。夕方に他の予定を入れているときは、注意が必要かもしれません。

I had a wonderful experience. During snorkeling, I was able to see three sea turtles, and one of them was close enough to touch.

素晴らしい体験ができました。
シュノーケリングではウミガメを三匹見ることができ、
そのうちの一匹は触れるほどの距離で見ることができました。

Awesome went with my 2 older kids and we had a blast wonderful people 100% customers service

When I went to the activity shop, the staff quickly assisted me. During the activity, there was someone who spoke Japanese, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. The view from the sea was a beautiful combination of Hawaii's stunning ocean and the whale-shaped mountain, which was very moving! The parasailing landed us on the boat, so I didn't get too wet. I also tried jet skiing for the first time, and it was fun! It's great that you can decide whether to purchase photos and videos after actually seeing them.

アクティビティのショップに行くと、日本人の方がすぐに対応してくださいました。
アクティビティ中も日本語を話せる方が対応してくださったので、安心して楽しむことが出来ました。
海の上から見る景色は、ハワイの綺麗な海と、クジラの形の山の良いとこ取りでとても感動しました！
パラセーリングは船の上に着地させてくれたので、あまり濡れずに済みました。ジェットスキーも初めてやりましたが楽しかったです！
写真や動画は実際に見てみてから購入するか決められるので、それもとても良いです。

I was very impressed by the magnificent scenery that you can't see in Japan! It's also a filming location for movies, so I recommend it as a pilgrimage site! The roads are bumpy with sharp curves and slopes, so it might be scary for those who don't drive often. Also, it gets dustier than expected, so I think it's good to pay attention to your clothing and belongings.

日本では見ることの出来ない壮大な景色にとても感動しました！映画のロケ地にもなっているので、聖地巡礼としてもオススメです！
道がでこぼこで急カーブや坂もあるので、普段あまり運転しない方は怖いかもしれません。
そして予想以上に砂だらけになるので、服装や持ち物に注意すると良いと思います。

We wound up taking this tour because the ones through Holland America were booked months in advance. What a blessing it was too! Oli was fantastic and I was in tears by the we got to Pearl Harbor for our tour because he so vividly told of the events before the attacks and then the attack itself. I'll never forget the experience and so very glad I made this resevation.

It's a place you can easily reach on foot from the hotel, so I decided to go. The staff on the boat were very pleasant, and I thought they were skilled at operating the vessel. I chose the 150m parasailing option, and there was absolutely no fear; it was exhilarating, the view was amazing, and I even saw whales. I highly recommend this option. I had someone on the boat take photos with my smartphone, so I didn't have to pay a high fee for pictures.

ホテルから徒歩で参加できる場所だし、
決めました。
スタッフは船上に2人、とても感じ良かったし、
操縦が上手だと思いました。
パラセーリング自体も150mを選択しましたが
怖さは
まったくなくて、爽快感があり、眺めは最高だし、クジラも見えました。
おすすめのオプションです。
写真は乗り合わせた人に、スマホで撮ってもらったので、高い料金は払わずに済みました。

The tour was wonderful! Sarah was our guide was fun and informative. It was very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour.

Excellent hotel to crater service. Adam was courteous and knowledgeable.

We had a wonderful time on this adventure to the north shore on Oahu. Cousin G was our guide and he did a great job taking care of us and keeping things lively. He was so knowledgeable of the history and the area and all the ins and outs of where to go. He was really funny, too! Waimea falls was beautiful and the next stop we opted for paddle boarding. We didn't see any sea turtles, but it was still fun and peaceful. We had a small group of 10, which I don't think is usual, but it was a treat for us because we could move around easily and quickly get in and out of places. We'd highly recommend this to anyone!!

A little difficult to navigate and see things. You’re on your own, so you’ll really need to be cognizant of the area and where to anchor down. Sand bar was a bit out, but was a great experience. Not for beginners but also not terribly difficult. Bring a watch or phone, the kayaks are very stable and didn’t tip on us when trying to get back in. Staff was great

We celebrated the night before our marriage on this event. We were a large group of 27. They accommodated us and sat us all together. The entertainment and the food were excellent. The servers kept everything flowing and joyful. Very organized and fun. I really enjoyed the dancers and singers. They performed in front of us and had them all over so everyone could enjoy them. The only bummer was that I specifically chose to go on the Friday sunset cruise for the firework show. However, it didn’t happen due to the winds. I was very sad. Other than that, I thought it was a fabulous experience.

So much fun beautiful scenery staff was knowledgeable and nice.

Overall great experience with a good meal, friendly crew, and add-ons to capture the adventure.

I would do it again. But I'd some time of approved boat shoe or water shoe. Not a fan of barefoot in public areas.

The Sunset Cocktail Cruise was so much fun. The drinks and appetizers were amazing.
The entire Crew was very friendly and accommodating with serving drinks, appetizers and offering to snap photos.
We look forward to Cruising again next January

I was waiting at the hotel for the bus to arrive, but no other guests (other than Japanese) were there, and the driver was looking for them to pick them up. I had the impression that we were waiting for the same bus, but I hesitated to speak in English, and since I was going to a completely different hotel, I made sure to confirm and wait properly. The very kind service left a good impression of Veltra. I hope to use it in other countries as well.

私は、ホテルでバスのくる場所を確認し待っていましたが、他のお客さんがそこに来ていなくて（日本人以外）、そこでドライバーさんが探しに行きのせていました。なんとなく、同じバスを待っているかというイメージはありましたが、英語で話しかけるのもなんですし、私は行が全く違うホテルのためしっかり確認し待っていました。あまりの親切な対応にベルトラはいい感じのイメージでした。また、他の国でもお願いします。

Due to the rainy season in January, unfortunately, it rained quite a bit on the day, but it stopped by the time we went horseback riding. They provide a raincoat (a sturdy one), so you don't need to bring your own. The instructional video was in Japanese, but the instructor spoke only English. The horses are cute, well-trained, and smart. The scenery is magnificent and definitely worth seeing. Despite the unfortunate weather, I was very satisfied with this optional tour. The downside is that the shuttle bus was as cold as a refrigerator, so warm clothing is necessary.

1月雨季のため、残念ながら当日も結構な雨、
でも、乗馬する頃には止みました。
レインコート(生地のしっかりしたもの)は
貸してくれるので、持参しなくてもいいです。
説明のビデオは、日本語でしたが、
インストラクターは、英語オンリー
馬は可愛い、よく躾けられて賢いです。
景色は壮大です。是非、見るべき、
あいにくの天気でしたが、このオプショナルツアー大満足です。
マイナス点は、送迎のバス内が、
冷蔵庫のように寒い事ですね。防寒が、必要。

The tour was very entertaining and the guides knowledgeable about everything we wanted to learn about. The weather was drizzly and overcast but they offered rain ponchos free of charge which was very helpful. Would use them again!

Thank you!

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The experience was wonderful, even though the day was not sunny and it was a little windy. The snorkeling was amazing, and we definitely saw a bunch of turtles! The boat ride was smooth, and the water was nice! Definitely recommend, it was totally worth it!

Had a great time, hailey was amazing and so was her first hand. Got to see some really pretty fish and caught a couple ourselves.

When I woke up in the morning and looked outside, it was cloudy... Since it looked cold, I wore a swimsuit, a rash guard, and a light jumper! There were four staff members on the boat, and they were all wearing thick hoodies (laughs). We arrived at the sandbar quickly from where the boat was anchored! The water was about waist-deep, and despite the clouds, it was surprisingly clear and beautiful! They lent us paddleboards and floaties, so we spent time taking pictures and having fun at the sandbar! After that, we put on life jackets and snorkels and swam to see the honu! It was quite deep, but wearing a life jacket made it completely fine! There were a lot of participants, so it was a bit crowded for swimming. We were able to see about 3-4 honu (^ - ^). After getting out of the water, it was so cold that I was shivering, so having a thick hoodie or sweatshirt might be a good idea! On the boat, there were snacks, warm water, coffee, and one spam onigiri per person! The snacks were all-you-can-eat, so I tried some that I had never eaten before! They were all delicious snacks, so I bought some as souvenirs at a local supermarket! Since there was a little time after getting off the boat, some people were changing. It was really cold, so I wish I had brought a change of clothes... One of the staff members spoke Japanese, so I could hear the explanations in Japanese! It was a valuable experience!!

朝起きて外を見たら、曇り、、、
寒そうだったので水着＋ラッシュガード＋薄手のジャンパーみたいなものを羽織って行きました！
船のスタッフは4名いましたが、みなさん厚めのパーカーを羽織ってました(笑)
船の停まってる場所からサンドバーまではすぐ到着しました！腰くらいの高さでしたが、曇りの割に水が透き通って見えてとても綺麗でした！
パドルボートや浮き輪を貸してくれたので、サンドバーで楽しみながら写真を撮ったりして過ごしました！
その後、ライフジャケットとシュノーケルをつけて、ホヌに会いに泳ぎました！結構深いところですが、ライフジャケットを着てるので全く問題なかったです！
参加者が多かったので、泳ぎにくさはありました。3-4匹のホヌに会えることができました(^-^)
海から上がった後は震えるくらい寒かったので、厚手のパーカーやトレーナーがあると、いいかもしれません！
船上ではスナック、あったかい水・コーヒー、1人1個スパムおにぎりがありした！！スナックは食べ放題なので、食べたことのないスナックを食べました！！どれも美味しいスナックなので、お土産に地元のスーパーでも買いました！
船から降りてから少し時間もあったので、着替えてる方もいました。とにかく寒かったので着替え持参しておけばよかった、、
スタッフのうち1名、日本語スタッフがいてくれたので、説明は日本語で聞けました！
貴重な経験ができました！！

It was cloudy, but driving the buggy on the vast grounds was an amazing experience! Although it was only for two hours, we stopped at various points for photo opportunities! We went as a pair, and since we could switch drivers four times, we each got to drive twice!

I thought it might be a bit chilly, so I wore a T-shirt, long pants, and a light windbreaker! Almost everyone except for the Japanese was in T-shirts and shorts!

There were no staff who spoke Japanese, and everything from the initial explanation upon arrival to the end was in English, so there were many things I didn't understand. However, before driving the buggy, I was relieved to watch a Japanese explanation video!

I showed my passport before getting on the shuttle bus and presented my Japanese driver's license before driving the buggy. They provided helmets and goggles! Since we drove in a line of about six buggies, the dust from the buggy in front hit us directly, making our faces completely black (laughs). It might be good to have something like a mask or bandana to cover your mouth. After the buggy ride, you can wash off some of the dust at the provided water station, but without cleansing, only about 30% of it comes off, so it might be better not to wear makeup... (laughs). The photo time during the ride also resulted in very dusty faces, so in a way, it became a good memory! (laughs)

Since the clothes also get brown from the dust, it might be better to wear clothes that you don't mind throwing away! After it was over, we had free time until the bus pickup, and we had a light snack at the cafeteria. They had various options like hot dogs and hamburgers.

There are lockers available, but they said cash wouldn't give change, so payment was by card. Only VISA or MasterCard could be used. I think the cafeteria also accepted only VISA or MasterCard!

Driving the buggy was easy! The scenery was beautiful, and there were many filming locations, making it a lot of fun!

曇りでしたが、広大な敷地でバギーを運転し、最高な経験になりました！2時間ですが、所々でバギーをとめて、写真時間がありました！２人で行きましたが、4回交代できたので2回ずつ運転することができました！
肌寒いかなと思ったので、Tシャツ＋長ズボン＋薄手のウィンドブレーカーみたいなものを羽織って行きました！日本人以外はほとんどTシャツ＋短パンでした！
日本語が話せるスタッフがおらず、到着後の最初の説明から最後まで、全て英語だったので、わからないことも多々ありましたが、バギーの運転の前には、日本語の説明ビデオが見られたので安心しました！
送迎バスに乗る前にパスポートを提示し、バギー運転前に日本の免許証を提示しました。
ヘルメットとゴーグルは貸してくれました！6台くらいで連なって走行するので、前のバギーの砂埃が直撃して、顔は真っ黒になります(笑)口元を覆えるような、マスクやバンダナみたいなものがあると良いかもしれません。バギー終了後に、備え付けの水道で、なんとなく砂埃は落とせますが、クレンジングがないと、3割くらいしか落ちないので、お化粧しないほうがいいかも、、笑　途中の写真Timeも真っ黒な顔だったので、ある意味いい思い出になりました！笑
洋服も砂埃で茶色くなるので、捨てても大丈夫なような洋服がいいかもしれないです！
終わった後はバスのお迎えまで自由時間で、カフェテリアで軽食を食べました。ホットドッグやハンバーガーなど色々あります。
ロッカーもありますが、キャッシュはお釣りがでないとのことで、カード支払いでした。VISAかMasterしか使えないです。カフェテリアもVISAかMasterだった気がします！
バギーの運転は簡単でした！とても景色もいいし、映画の撮影場所が多く、楽しかったです！

The guides were fun and knowledgeable about the ranch. It’s a beautiful place. I wish the goggles had worked a little better and maybe a couple more stops to look at things. Over all was great and would love to do a couple other things there.

Great fun for my family with teenagers and friends! Something to do for everyone /)

Such an amazing experience, All the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They helped with everything, the live music was amazing and added to the experience. Great vocals by Jesse! Highly recommend! 5 stars!!

Aloha my Pearl Harbor tour was quite fantastic! We truly enjoyed the informational experience. It was a long day though.

We had a wonderful morning! The team working the adventure was helpful and knowledgeable. We highly recommend it! Our family of 4 ( 2 adults and 2 children: age 11 and 6) and our friend that was visiting has a blast kayaking, SUP and hanging out on the floating island. Music was awesome! My kids love the lemonade and donuts.

Seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was a wonderful experience, blessed with great weather. The whales were far away, but we could see their tails and spouts. I later heard they were juvenile humpback whales. Overall, it was a pleasant cruising experience. I would have liked to see the dynamic adult whales a bit closer.

海上から見るワイキキ、ダイアモンドペット、
お天気にも恵まれ最高の時間でした。
クジラは遥か遠くでしたが尾びれや潮吹きも確認できました。あとから聞いたら子供のザトウクジラだそう。ともかく気持ちの良いクルージングでした。もう少し近くでダイナミックな親クジラもみたかったです。
