Oahu
The reservation was fully booked, so I opted for the plan where I could have a buggy driven for me, and it was a lot of fun! The rain actually made it feel magical and wonderful!
予約が空いておらず、バギーを運転してもらうプランにしましたが、とても楽しかったです！
雨も逆に幻想的で素敵でした！

We so enjoyed our evening. The servers were personal and attentive. We could tell the meal time entertainers were having just as much fun as we were. The food was excellent and presentation marvelous. There was ample time to enjoy our meal and table talk. The show did not disappoint us. The singers and dancers keep us engaged and time flew by.
Easy to register but allow extra time to check in.
Dan and Chieko (?) from Hawaii Blue Divers were amazing! This particular company made the entire process our family of 3 as easy as it could be- no need to worry about anything! We had a great ride to and from Hanauma bay, we didn’t have to fuss over securing admission tickets (which I hear are a pain), we were provided with everything needed included tram rides to and from the entrance to the bay. Which was so appreciated after snorkeling 🤿. Dan was incredibly attentive and helpful to me (a scared of natural water, fear of drowning, and uncoordinated 44 year old), as well as to my 9 year old daughter who knows basic swimming concepts but is not yet a full swimmer. We were personally guided and had such a great experience. I cannot speak highly enough of these folks. Incredibly attentive, adaptive and knowledgeable. We clearly had chosen the right company to go with from the ease of entering the park before a HUGE line of white vans, not having to walk down to the bay or back up, snacks and water provided, and no need to deal with the hassle of renting equipment. We didn’t need to do anything beside show up to our pick up spot and have required cash and a change of clothes. They offer wetsuits and I highly recommend getting them for a bit more warmth, protection from getting scratched by coral, and added buoyancy. Make sure to have a good breakfast and hydrate before going, take clothes or a cover up to wear/change into, think about waterproof pouches for phones (not required as Dan did great with photos), towels, and enough cash to pay the entrance fee, rent wetsuits, and provide a BIG tip because you’ll be grateful for the experience. Expect to be tired and thrilled because it is a great snorkeling tour of the bay. Thank you Dan and Chieko!!!
Get the wetsuits!
Thank you guys. You all did great! Hope we see you again.
I participated in the tour in late March. It was quite cold since it was early in the morning and cloudy. I can't speak much English, but the tours with Japanese guides are quite expensive, so choosing this tour was the right decision. Even if you're worried about your English, you can just check the meeting time for the return trip with a translation app, and there won't be any problems. Hanauma Bay is a place that has value in "going there itself," so it's important not to have excessive expectations about the sea. If you're looking for an environment filled with tropical fish, you should go to Guam or Miyako Island. In that sense, I don't think snorkeling tours are very meaningful, especially the expensive ones with Japanese guides. It's particularly tough when it's cold because you can't swim at your own pace. That's why this tour, which only includes transportation, makes sense. That said, the price feels a bit high considering it only covers the entrance fee, group transportation, and mask and fin rentals. However, since it's just a group transportation tour without any special individual services, I believe tipping is basically unnecessary.
3月後半に参加。早朝でかつ曇りだったのでかなり寒かったです。英語がほぼ話せないですが、日本人ガイド付きツアーは割高なので、このツアーにして正解でした。英語が不安でも、帰りの集合時間だけ翻訳アプリで確認すれば問題なし。ハナウマ湾という場所は「行くこと自体」に価値がある場所であって、海自体に過度な期待は禁物です。熱帯魚がそこら中にいるような環境を求めるなら、グアムや宮古島に行くべき。そういう意味で、シュノーケリングツアーはあまり意味がないと思います。日本人ガイド付きの高価なツアーなら尚更です。特に寒いと自分のペースで泳げないので、余計に辛くなります。だから送迎のみのこのツアーは理にかなっています。とは言え、価格は入場料別で、グループ送迎＋マスク・フィンレンタルだけの内容の割に、値段はやや高めに感じました。ただグループ送迎のみのツアーで、特段、個別のサービスはないため、チップは基本的に必要ないと私は思います。
Since there are many shallow areas, it's better to borrow life jackets (but please carefully consider if you need one for each person). Fins are designed to be worn barefoot, so marine boots are not n
浅瀬が多いのでライフジャケットは借りた方がいいです（但し人数分必要かはよく吟味してください）フィンは素足で履くタイプなので、マリンブーツは不要です。このツアーに参加する限りパスポートは持参不要です。

I had a great view from the center. I could clearly see the performers' expressions, which was moving. I enjoyed a wonderful performance with powerful sound volume.
中央で大変よく見えました。
パフォーマーの方の表情もよくわかり感動しました。
迫力ある音量で素晴らしいパフォーマンスが堪能できました
The air conditioning works really well, so I recommend bringing something to wear. There are audience participation performances, so if you sit in the front row or on the sides, there's a possibility

I received an email the day before asking to change the show time from 8 o'clock to 7 o'clock. Since we could communicate in translation, there was no problem. A cheerful uncle chatted happily as we headed there, and it was fun♪ Even though it was in English, there were no issues.
8時代を7時代に変更してほしい、とショーでメールが前日に届きました。翻訳でやり取りできるので、問題なかった。陽気なおじ様が楽しくおしゃべりしながら向かい、楽しかったです♪英語だけど、問題なしでした。
There might be changes the day before, so it's better to check your email. Did you receive water? Just in case, bring some with you.

It would have been great if the weather was better but still a fun time. My only complaint is that I would have liked the area that is cordoned off for paddle boarding and kayaking to be bigger. The live music is a nice touch!
The snorkeling at the sandbar is just ok.
My wife, our daughter, and her family of seven participated! It was very interesting, thrilling, and we were extremely satisfied. My son-in-law got involved in a car accident, but we created a lifelong memory at the circus.
私達夫婦と娘家族7人で参加して来ました！

It was spacious, fun, and there just wasn't enough time! It opens at 10:30 and we had to gather at 15:00, so we only had about 4 hours to enjoy ourselves!! Next time, I want to take my time. The staff explained everything in Japanese and were very attentive.
広くて、楽しくて時間が全然足りなかった！10時半オープン、15時に集合だから、実質４時間しか遊べない！！次回はゆっくり行きたいです。スタッフは日本語で丁寧に説明、対応してくれました。
Since the stay is short, there isn't much time to go back to the luggage area and relax. Inside, it's cashless, and bringing in anything other than water is prohibited, with baggage checks in place.

My wife and I, along with our daughter and her husband, participated with our three grandchildren. The grandchildren had a great time, and we were very satisfied! The captain and crew were very friendly and made the experience enjoyable.

Although the time is short, you can enjoy it. If you are prone to seasickness, I highly recommend taking motion sickness medication before boarding!

Was a nice and fun experience never. Weather was really nice in the afternoon. There so much to do and see not enough time for everything lol . We also had a really good tour guid his name was Sam .
This is our third time doing the tour and still nothing short of amazing
I was given the wrong pick up time on my return trip to the airport. That was unfortunate, but what was worse, was the response. On calling Roberts, I was told that refunding was my problem, and I would need to pursue it personally with Veltra.Fortunately, Veltra was quite polite and prompt, and they took care of the problem.
Personally check on pickup times the day before.
I wanted to see a Hawaiian dinner show for at least one night, so I made a reservation. Since I was staying at the Sheraton Waikiki, this dinner show on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center was conveniently close. The hula dancers were cute and very soothing⭐︎ The dinner buffet felt a bit short, especially by the time we got to dessert, since we went to the neighboring Rock Theater afterward. The show was also quite long, and it seemed like my mother, who is in her 70s, enjoyed it as well.
一晩くらいはハワイアンディナーショーを観たくて予約。宿泊がシェラトンワイキキだったので、ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの４階で過ごせるこちらのディナーショーは近くて良かった。フラのお姉さんが可愛くて癒されました⭐︎ディナービュッフェはデザートまでいくと以外と時間が短かったかな？食べてからとなりのロックシアターに行くので。ショーも長めで一緒に行った70代の母も楽しめたようです。
The show is a bit long, so it's a good idea to use the restroom before entering. Since the air conditioning is strong, it's better to have a long-sleeved cover-up.
ショーは長めなので、入る前にトイレに行っておく、冷房がきいてるので長袖の羽織はあったほうが良いです。
この度は私共のロッカフラにお母様と一緒にお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。お泊りのホテルから徒歩数分とゆうことと全体的にエンターテインメントも満足して頂き嬉しく思っております。お写真も有難う御座います。次回もハワイでお待ちしております。

The Pearl Harbor Tour was everything I hoped it would be. Patrick was our very helpful and courteous bus driver and guide, and he was an excellent stand-in for Bob Hope who couldn’t be there. Patrick regaled us with jokes and historical anecdotes about Honolulu and Pearl Harbor. Though his Elvis Presley and Don Ho imitations need a little work, Patrick made the trip quite enjoyable. I did not previously know about Elvis Presley’s contribution to the Arizona Memorial, nor did I know that the Walmart in Oahu had to keep its Spam under lock and key because it is a highly pilfered item in Hawaii. Mahalo, Patrick.
Bus seats on the driver's right afford the best vantage to take pictures while in the Punch Bowl.
The horses were well-trained, which made me feel very safe while riding. My family of four experienced this together, and it was interesting to see that the horses also have their own relationships; they seemed to have preferences, as some horses didn't get along well and couldn't maintain a good distance from each other.
Unfortunately, due to several days of heavy rain, we couldn't follow the usual course, and the actual time spent riding was less than an hour, which was disappointing.
よく調教されているお馬さん達で、とても安心して乗馬することができました。
家族4人で体験しましたが、それぞれの馬同士も相性があるらしく、嫌いな馬とは上手く距離がとれなかったりと、人間関係ならぬ馬関係も垣間見れ面白かったです。
何日かひどい雨が続いていたこともあり、通常のコースを歩くことができなかった為か、実際に馬に乗っていた時間は1時間にも満たなかったのが残念でした。

Had a great experience! Was able to contact the Vendor and reschedule time with no hassle. Option of dry or wet landing!
They take excellent pictures for an additional fee but they are worth buying!
Family members not flying, can purchase as an observer and follow along to watch.
Close to Waikiki, easy walk or commute to their location.
Enjoy!
Sam was a great leader and the ranch was a great experience we will never forget !
Although the weather was unfortunately rainy at times, riding the e-bike through Kualoa was very pleasant, and I would love to participate again. Since the bike can splash mud, I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty for those who will be joining in the future. The mud isn't just from the ground; it also includes oil from the four-wheeler buggies, which didn't come off even after washing at home. Also, sandals and Crocs are not allowed, and I was advised to buy water walking shoes sold at the souvenir shop. At the beginning of the tour, there is an explanation of the e-bikes and a test ride. It's not difficult, so I think anyone who can ride a regular bike will be fine. There will be time to stop and take photos at movie filming locations and air raid shelters. The guide speaks only English, so if you understand English, it will be even more enjoyable.
時折小雨の降るあいにくのお天気でしたが eバイクで駆けるクアロアは気持ちよくて
また参加したいです 自転車の泥がはねてズボンや背中が汚れますのでこれから参加される方は汚れてもいい服装をおすすめします 土の泥だけじゃなくて四輪バギーの油も含まれてるので帰宅後洗っても取れなかったです あと、サンダルやクロックスはNGで土産物屋に水中ウォーキング用の靴が売ってるのでそれを購入するよう言われました ツアーの始めにeバイクの説明やテスト走行があります 難しくはないので普通の自転車に乗れる人なら大丈夫だと思います 映画のロケ地や防空壕に立ち寄って写真を撮る時間をとってくれます ガイドは英語のみです 英語がわかればさらに楽しいものになるでしょう
You can watch the video for instructions and precautions. They will provide a video with Japanese subtitles, so those who don't understand English will be fine.

Seeing Diamond Head from the sky was amazing. The surprise when coming down was also fun. I had experienced parasailing in Okinawa, so I thought I wouldn't need motion sickness medication, but the waves in the open sea were intense, and I wished I had taken some.
空から見るダイヤモンドヘッドは最高でした。降りてくる時のサプライズも楽しかったです。
沖縄でもパラセーリングは体験していたので、酔い止めは不要だと思っていたのですが、外海での波のうねり凄くて酔い止め飲めば良かったなと思いました。
It's better to bring cash for tips. Taking motion sickness medication will also make things easier.

Since the designated seat was next to the stage, it felt like I was watching the performance from the side the entire time, and the lighting coming from the opposite wall was directly in my eyes. However, I was still able to enjoy the atmosphere of the venue.
If you have visited Oahu multiple times, it's worth seeing this as part of the current culture in Honolulu.
今回指定された席が、ステージ横だったので、演技を終始真横から見ている感じ、反対壁から放つ照明が目に直接はいる位置でした。ただ場の雰囲気は十分楽しめました。
オアフ島に何度も訪れているようなら、今のホノルルの文化として一度は見ておくと良いです。
As others have advised, the venue is cold. I think it's better to have long sleeves or a blanket.

I was able to see whales. I'm glad I participated. There was no rocking that would cause seasickness, so even family members who usually get motion sickness enjoyed it until the end. The deck of the boat has a decent amount of wind, so I think a jacket is necessary. I brought one and used it. A hat that won't blow away in the wind would be a good idea. The explanations from the guide are in English, so I think at least one person in the family should be able to understand English.
クジラ見れました。
参加して良かった。
船酔いになるような揺れも無く、普段は乗り物酔いのある家族も最後まで楽しめました。
船のデッキはそこそこ風があるので上着が必要かと思います。持って行って、使いました。
帽子は風で飛ばないタイプが良いかと。
解説員の方の説明は英語なので、家族の中など誰か1人は英語聞き取れるべきだろうなと思います。

I participated with my daughter, who is in middle school. My wife stayed on land because she gets motion sickness easily.
During takeoff and landing, there was hardly any acceleration or impact like you would experience on a regular passenger plane; it was a quiet takeoff and landing with almost no jolt. In the air, there was very little turbulence, making for a safe and secure flight.
We had already visited places like Diamond Head and Pearl Harbor beforehand, and it was great to see them from the sky as if confirming what we had seen. It was nice to see parts of the former volcanic crater that are too large to understand without viewing them from above.
Over Pearl Harbor, the shape of the sunken battleship was clearly visible, filling in the missing pieces of the puzzle from our land tour (with a different company). Honestly, just this experience made it worth participating.
私(父)と中学生の娘と2人で参加。
妻は乗り物酔いしやすいので陸で待機。
離着陸は、通常の旅客機で体験するような加速度や衝撃は全くと言ってよいほど無く、静かに離陸、着陸もほとんど衝撃なし。
空でも大した揺れもなく、安心安全な航行でした。
事前に、ダイヤモンドヘッドやパールハーバーなどの見学を済ませており、それを空から答え合わせするように見ることができて良かった。
かつての火山の噴火口跡など、大きすぎて空から見ないとわからない部分を見ることができて良かった。
パールハーバー上空では、沈んでいる戦艦の形がくっきりと視認でき、陸での(別会社の別ツアーでの)見学時の欠けていたパズルのピースを埋めるようで、正直、これだけでも参加して良かったくらい。
I thought it would be better to wear a long-sleeved jacket, and I felt it was the right choice. It would be even better if there were pockets that could fit a smartphone and zip up. You have enough ti

This was my second time participating at my daughter's request. As always, it's a pleasure to ride slowly on horseback amidst the magnificent scenery. Some horses stop along the way, but generally, they walk on their own. Last time, we went all the way to the spot with Godzilla's footprints, but this time we turned back before reaching there. I'm not sure if last time was special or if the course has changed. However, I had another great time.
娘のリクエストで2回目の参加。
相変わらずの壮大な景色の中、馬に乗ってゆっくり進んでいくのは気持ちがいいです。
途中で止まっちゃう馬もいますが、基本的に馬が勝手に歩いていってくれます。
前回はゴジラの足跡がある所まで行ったんですが、今回はそこまで行かずにUターン。
前回が特別だったのか、コースが変わったのかは不明。
でもまた良い時間を過ごせました。
There are also options like buggies, bicycles, and buses, but riding a horse for two hours is quite rare, so I recommend it.
他にもバギーや自転車、バスなどの選択肢がありますが2時間も馬に乗ることは中々ないのでおすすめです。

I read reviews saying that not many Japanese people participated, and indeed, we were the only Japanese there. It was all in English, but the staff were cheerful and occasionally chatted with us, creating a very pleasant atmosphere. We were able to see the vast ocean from the opposite side of Diamond Head and enjoyed watching sea turtles swim, which made for a really fun experience. The 1 hour and 30 minutes duration was just right, ending before we got bored.
日本人はあまり参加してないとの口コミでしたが、やはり日本人は私たちだけでした。英語のみでしたが、スタッフの人は陽気で時々話しかけてくれたりして雰囲気はとても良かったです。ダイヤモンドヘッドの反対側を大海原から見れたり、ウミガメが泳ぐ姿を見ることができてとても楽しく過ごすことができました。1時間30分との時間も飽きる前に終了するのでちょうど良かったです。

Parasailing was a lot of fun, and it was great that they let us drive the boat and fly as a family of four. However, I requested photos for $40, and in the end, the data transfer to my smartphone didn't go well, so I received an SD card instead. Unfortunately, the SD card has an error, and I can't check the data at the moment. It's really disappointing not to have any photos from such a fun experience. Since I was returning home the next morning, there was nothing more I could do, and I had to go back. I'm really sad about it...
パラセーリングはとても楽しくて、ボートを運転させてくれたり、４人家族で飛ばせてくれたりと最高だったのですが、、、

I was planning to drive using my husband's driver's license (the actual one), but I forgot it in the hotel safe...! Fortunately, I had a clear photo of the license, so when I consulted with the staff, they checked the image and allowed me to drive after I showed my passport and signed a waiver. I'm really glad I was able to drive! I had mistakenly switched to a digital license, so based on this lesson, I issued a physical card after returning home. Having the actual document is definitely stronger overseas.
夫の免許証（実物）で乗る予定でしたが、ホテルの金庫に忘れてしまいました…！
たまたま免許証を綺麗に撮った画像を持っていたので、スタッフに相談したところ、その画像を確認したのち、パスポートの提示と注意事項へのサインのようなもので許可がおりました。乗れて本当によかった！
自分はマイナ免許証にしてしまっていたので、この教訓を元に、帰国後にカードを発行しました。海外では実物が強いですね。
It was a two-hour buggy course, but it felt longer than I expected! At the end of February, it was a cloudy day, so I got cold from being exposed to the wind. I felt like I needed long sleeves.
