Oahu
Although a very long day on the bus and limited stops due to narrow roads and busy traffic, when we were able to stop at certain locations it was absolutely breathtaking.
To really take in the full affect of the drop and photos over the cliff, I would suggest sitting on the left side of the bus if you’re able. Make sure you have a strong stomach, aren’t afraid of heights and able to withstand the winding roads, the photos you capture on this trip are well worth the adventure
I was anxious because I'm not good at English, but it was fine since they spoke to me in broken Japanese! They had consent forms and instructions available in Japanese, so I think it's totally okay even if you can't speak any English. I went flying with my 67-year-old mother at 120 meters, and she was thrilled because it wasn't scary and was just the right height. However, the boat swayed quite a bit! I tend to get motion sickness, so even after taking motion sickness medication, I felt nauseous by the end. If you're prone to motion sickness, definitely take strong medication! They asked each group, "Do you want to take photos?" with a telephoto camera, so if you say no, you won't be photographed. It seemed like you could buy the photos on the way back if you asked. It was written that you could choose whether to land in the water or not, but no one was asked, and everyone landed in the water, which was a bit disappointing. It felt uncomfortable to get into the car while still wet. At the end, they said, "If you had a good time, please give a tip," so everyone was giving $20. I think it's good to prepare that in advance. Since it finishes in the morning, you have the whole afternoon free. The content and schedule were great!
英語が得意でないため不安でしたが、カタコトの日本語で話してくれるので大丈夫でした!同意書も説明書も日本語が用意されてるし、まったく英語を話せなくても大丈夫だと思います。67歳の母と120mで飛びましたが、怖くなく、ちょうどいい高さだと母も大喜びでした。ただ、船はかなり揺れます!私は酔いやすいので酔い止めを飲んでも最後は気持ち悪くなりました。酔いやすい方は必ず強力な酔い止めを!!望遠カメラを持って「写真ハ?トリマスカ?」と一組ずつ聞いてくれるので、ノーと言えば撮られません。お願いすれば、帰りに買うことができるようでした。着水するかどうかは選択できると書いてありましたが、聞かれることはなく、全員着水だったので、ちょっと残念でした。濡れたまま車に乗るのは気持ち悪かったです。最後は「ヨカッタ方はチップをお願イシマース」と言われますので、全員20ドル渡してました。用意しておいたほうがいいと思います。午前で終わるので午後は丸々空きます。内容もスケジュール的にもよかったです!!
We had an amazing time on our sunset cruise!! The crew was very accommodating and we appreciated the thoughtfulness to take care of our family as we are traveling with our 91 year old father. He had a wonderful time as well!!! Definitely will do it again! Loved the sunset!!
I arrived on a domestic flight from Kona with no Japanese passengers on board. I was a bit confused about the luggage pickup area, but I was happy to be welcomed by two staff members holding a name placard.
When I got to the condo, I thought I had passed it a little, but it seemed like it was a difficult place to park. After unloading my luggage, they kindly asked if I knew where the entrance was.
日本人が一人も乗っていないコナからの国内便で到着。荷物のピックアップ場所は下って下ってちょっと迷いましたが、名前のプラカードを持ったスタッフさんが二人でお出迎えしてくれたので嬉しかったです。
コンドに着いて、少し通り過ぎたなーと思ったんですが、車を停めるのが難しい場所だったらしく、荷物を降ろしてくれたあとに、入り口わかる?と心配してくれました。
I signed up for this tour because I wanted to see the Hilton Hotel's fireworks from the sea. Not only did I enjoy the fireworks, but I also got to experience the sunset.
There was quite a bit of time between the meal and the fireworks, so I relaxed while drinking coffee.
The taste of the food was average, nothing special but not bad either.
ヒルトンホテルの花火を海上から見たくて、こちらのツアーに申し込みをしました。
花火だけでなく、サンセットも楽しめました。
食事をしてから花火までの間、けっこう時間があったので、コーヒーを飲みながらゆったりと過ごしました。
食事の味は、可もなく不可もなくといった感じでした。
アロハ!Veltraを通じてアトランティスアドベンチャーツアーをご予約いただきありがとうございます。
Aloha! Thank you for booking an Atlantis Adventures tour through Veltra.
In addition to horseback riding, I was able to spend a meaningful day visiting the Dole Plantation and Haleiwa Town.
At the Dole Plantation, there wasn't much time to stay, so I could only do a light stroll and some shopping at the shop.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any sea turtles.
In Haleiwa Town, I had garlic shrimp for lunch. It was plump and delicious. Since the town isn't very large, I enjoyed walking around the shops and strolling with a coffee in hand.
Horseback riding by the beach was refreshing and fun. All the horses are smart, so I think even beginners can enjoy riding.
I was disappointed by some misinformation regarding horseback riding. The website and voucher mentioned that there would be free lockers available at the riding area, so I planned to store my valuables like my camera in a locker. However, there were no lockers, and the guide told me to keep my valuables with me, which made me anxious. I recommend bringing a small bag, like a waist pouch, to hold your valuables.
乗馬の他に、ドールプランテーションやハレイワタウンの観光も付いていて有意義に一日を過ごす事が出来ました。
ドールプランテーションでは滞在時間がそんなにないので、軽い散策とショップでの買い物くらいしかできませんでした。
ウミガメは残念ながら見られませんでした。
ハレイワタウンでは、ガーリックシュリンプを昼食に食べました。
ぷりぷりでおいしかったです。
そんなに広くない街なので、歩いてショップめぐりをしたり、コーヒーを片手に散策したりと楽しめました。
海辺での乗馬は気持ちがよく、楽しかったです。
どの馬もかしこいので、初心者でも乗馬が楽しめると思います。
乗馬に関して、事前の情報違いがあり残念でした。
「乗馬場では鍵のかかるロッカー(無料)がございます」との説明文がホームページやバウチャーに記載されていたので、カメラなど貴重品をロッカー預けようと思っていましたが、実際にはロッカーは無く、ガイドに自分で貴重品を持つように言われて焦りました。
ウエストポーチなど、貴重品を入れられる小さめのバッグを持って行くことをお勧めします。
This whole show was amazing and I know I will go back again it was so worth it. If I'd not seen the originals it would be great but having seen them this was absolutely awesome and so much like the originals
We boarded the boat and set off.
The boat sways quite a bit when the waves are high, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to getting seasick.
The sky was pleasant, and I enjoyed the scenery.
I was a bit scared and chose the 90-meter option, but I should have gone for the 150 meters.
ボートに乗り込み、出発しました。
波が高いとボートは結構ゆれるので、乗り物酔いしやすい方は酔い止めの薬を飲んでおく事をお勧めします。
上空は気持ちよく、景色も楽しめました。
怖いかなと思い、90メートルの選択をしましたが、150メートルにすればよかったです。
At first, I was anxious because there were no Japanese people around, but the staff explained things in Japanese here and there, which made me feel at ease. It was my first time parasailing, so I was quite nervous, but it was fun. I think those who are prone to motion sickness should take some anti-nausea medication. When I looked down from 120 meters, it was a bit scary, but looking far away, the view was amazing and felt great!
最初日本の方が1組もおられず不安でしたが、スタッフの方が所々日本語で説明して下さり安心しました。
パラセーリング自体は初めてだったので不安ばかりでしたが楽しかったです。酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいと思いました。
120メートルにして、下を見たら少し怖かったですが遠くを見るとすごく眺めが良くて気持ちよかったです!
The weather was nice, and sailing on the cobalt blue water was refreshing. We were cruising at about 10 knots, and since it was a catamaran, the ride was stable. I made a reservation in advance in Japan, and the information was accurately conveyed on-site.
天気も良くコバルトブルーの水面を帆走するのは爽快でした。10ノットほどの速度で疾走しますが、双胴船なので安定的な走りでした。日本での事前予約しましたが現地に正確に情報が伝わっていました。
I participated with half expectations, thinking that I might not definitely see dolphins, but I was moved to encounter so many dolphins. I was able to see both dolphins and turtles, and I thoroughly enjoyed the clear sea. I highly recommend this tour.
必ずイルカに会えるというものではないと期待半分で参加しましたが、たくさんのイルカたちに出会えて感動しました。イルカもカメも見られ、透明な海を満喫できました。このツアーはおすすめです。
Aloha, Saki,
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. We are all very happy that you were able to experience something unique to Hawaii. We look forward to the day we can meet again.
Dolphin Office
Aloha, Saki様
この度はイルカ大学にご参加くださり有り難うございました。
ハワイならではの経験をしていただけてスタッフ一同嬉しい限りです。
またお会いできる日を楽しみにしております。

Great tour, our driver ‘Captain Ron’ was great, very informative and someone who really loves his job! Pick up time was 07:30 so a bit later than other full day tours which we preferred too. Only issue was that we picked some people up from the airport coming from Maui who had missed their flight so had to wait for an hour, but Captain Ron kept us entertained and we still had plenty of time at each place.
Personally I loved the video and the boat trip around the Missouri but my husband loved the Aviation museum. Would definitely recommend this tour and plenty to see and do!
We were there as advised but waited a long time for others who were on their phones and then waited a long time for a shuttle bus to take us to Waikiki,
Parasailing lasts about 5 minutes. The view is amazing.
You will definitely get wet as you are dropped into the sea for photos. It's not scary.
If you're worried about seasickness, it's better to take medication.
I usually don't get seasick, but I felt completely nauseous.
It's fine while you're parasailing, but be careful as you might get seasick when other guests are parasailing.
There will be a camera shoot on the day. You can get around 70 photos for $30, and you'll also receive a 512MB SD card.
パラセーリングは約5分程度。景色最高。
写真撮影のために海に必ず落とされるので濡れる。怖くはない。
船酔いが心配な人は薬を服用した方がよい。
酔わない方だけど完璧に酔った。
パラセーリング中はよいが、ほかの客がパラセーリングしている時は船酔いする可能性があるので注意が必要。
当日カメラ撮影がある。$30で70枚弱撮ってもらえる。SDカード512mbごともらえる。
We were greeted as soon as we arrived and the lei is still looking well after a few days. Our greeter took pictures and it was a nice way to have anyone who visits Hawaii (especially for the first time). I was hoping for a fuller lei and I'm glad I got my friend the deluxe one since it I thought that it would have been fuller but the lei itself was not as full as I thought it would be. I would not be excited to see the less lei.
The greeter herself. was wonderful! She even offered us help with our bags and walked us to the baggage claim.
Aloha Diana! Thank you for taking the time to review your lei greeting! Your greeter, Marlyn, was happy to have assisted you and your friend. She did inform us of your dilemma, but I can confirm the Classic Orchid Lei was made as ordered. Hopefully the next time, we can provide you with the Deluxe Orchid Lei Greeting, or, we can also ship to lei nationwide. Please give us a call, and we will be more than happy to assist you! Have a wonderful vacation to the two of you!

I was picked up at the hotel on time, and after a quick check-in, we took a 10-minute boat ride to the jet ski location. After a brief explanation, I was able to ride at full speed and enjoy jet skiing to my heart's content while screaming with excitement. On the way back, I wanted to keep playing in the ocean, so I was dropped off at Waikiki Beach, which I really appreciated. I definitely want to join this tour again next time.
時間通りにホテルに迎えに来てもらえ、簡単な手続き後 ボートに10分くらい乗って ジェットスキーをする場所へ。
簡単な説明のあと、思う存分 フルスピードで走行し、絶叫を上げながら たっぷり ジェットスキーを楽しむことが出来ました。
帰りもこのまま、海で遊びたかったのでワイキキビーチのところでおろしてもらい、有り難かったです。
また次も是非 このツアーに参加したいと思います。
Thank you!
Mahalo!
In the end, I couldn't see anything at all, neither shadow nor figure. It seems like they tried their best, but... I received a ticket for the next boat ride, but since it was the last day of my trip, I couldn't use it. The boat was fairly large and not crowded, so I could go out on the deck or sit comfortably in a chair. It felt like a drive on the water in pleasant weather.
結局、何も影も姿も、見ることはできませんでした。
頑張ってくれたみたいですが・・。
次回乗船チケットをもらいましたが、旅行最終日だったので、使えませんでした。
船はそこそこ大きくて、満員でもないので、甲板に出たり、ゆったり椅子に座ったり。
気持ちのよい天気の中、船でドライブ、といった感じでした。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
We are very sorry to hear that you were unable to see any whales on the day of your participation.
If you have the opportunity, please come again.
All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

Amy was the perfect guide very knowledgeable and interesting so Kim and myself whould definitely recommend this tour
Avery big thank you to amy
My wife and I, both in our forties, took our very first trip to Hawaii, and on the first night, we attended this show with VIP dinner seating. To sum up my feelings in one word: "a series of moving experiences."
First, the VIP dinner. I’m just an ordinary office worker, and participating in a dinner show from a VIP seat is something I’ve never experienced in Japan. It all started with a warm welcome, including a greeting from a star and a welcome drink, showcasing a touch of elegance. Next, we took our seats for dinner. The combination of lobster and tenderloin steak is something you wouldn’t find in Japan. The taste was also GOOD (I struggled a bit with cracking the unfamiliar lobster shell. There was one wet towel at our seat, but it wasn’t enough. My own wet towel came in handy).
Even from the general seating, you can see the performers' faces clearly. We chose the dinner option due to our anxiety about not knowing where to eat on our first day in Hawaii, but there are plenty of places to eat in the heart of Hawaii, and most have Japanese menus. So, for those who want to enjoy the show at a lower price, I think you can have a great time from the general seating without dinner.
The show was very much in line with America's reputation as an entertainment powerhouse. It mainly consisted of "hula dance," "fire dance," and "superstar" performances. While there are hula shows in Japan, the authentic experience is on another level. I could have watched it forever. The fire dance featured performers spinning sticks engulfed in flames with incredible speed, creating a whirlwind of emotion. And then there was the superstar, Michael Jackson, with his sharp dance moves. I never got to see him live, but this was more than enough to get us excited. I highly recommend this show for people of all ages.
アラフォー夫婦2人で人生初のハワイ旅行、その初日の夜にこのショーのディナーVIP席で参加しました。感想を一言で申せば「感動の連続」です。
先ずはディナー付VIP。私は一般的な会社員。ディナーショーをVIP席で参加など日本では未体験の領域です。スターの出迎え、ウェルカムドリンクなど洒落のきいたおもてなしから始まります。次に席に着いてディナー。ロブスター&テンダロインステーキという日本ではありえないコラボ。味もGOODでした(慣れないロブスターの殻割りに苦戦。濡れおしぼり1枚は席にありましたが、足りない。持参していたMY濡れおしぼりが活躍)
尚、一般席であっても演出者の顔がはっきりわかるくらいの近さです。私達は初のハワイ旅行初日で食事するところが解らないという不安からディナー付を選択しましたが、場所的にハワイの中心地で食べるところは沢山あり、日本語メニューが大多数なのでこのショーを格安で見たい方はディナーなしの一般席でも楽しめると思います。
ショーはエンターテイメント大国アメリカらしいものでした。主には「フラダンス」「ファイアーダンス」「スーパースター」で構成されています。日本でもフラショーはありますが、本場は一味違います。いつまでも見ていたい。ファイアーダンスは炎につつまれた棒を目に止まらぬ早業でくるくると回し、感動の渦でした。そしてスーパースター マイケルジャクソンのキレッキレのダンス、本人のライブには行けませんでしたが、これで十分に盛り上がることができました。老若男女問わずおすすめしたいショーです。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
The staff were very nice
Sand bar was beautiful but snorkel spot wasn’t clear water
After gathering at the harbor next to the Hilton, we set out to sea at full speed on a boat, and before we knew it, we were equipped and soaring into the sky. We had a 6-year-old child with us, but my wife and I were able to fly together with him. Up to a few meters high, the child was laughing, but as we rapidly ascended, his face stiffened and his voice trembled (laughs). We managed to encourage him (though we were scared too) and enjoyed the beautiful views of Honolulu. They take photos of you in the air, and you can purchase the SD card with those pictures. I think it was around $30. After the tour, they ask for tips. The atmosphere makes it hard to refuse, which raises some concerns. We reached 90 meters, which was quite a height. It became a wonderful memory.
ヒルトン横のハーバーに集合後、全速力のボートで沖に出て、あっという間に装置装着され、あっという間に大空に。
6歳の子連れでしたが、妻と合わせて3人で飛ぶことができました。
数mの高さまでは子供も笑っていましたが、そこから一気に上昇すると顔がこわばり声が震えてきました(笑)
なんとか励ましながら(こちらも怖かったのですが)ホノルルの美しい景色を眺めながら楽しむことができました。
空中の姿を写真に撮っていただけるので、そのSDカードは購入可能です。
確か30ドルだったかな。
ツアー終了後、チップをお願いされます。
断れない雰囲気になるので、それはいかがなものかと。
90mでしたが十分の高さでした。
いい思い出になりました。
The bus arrived five minutes early. It had a type of storage that occupied the left half of the interior for luggage, and this was my first time riding on one like this. The driver had a waist size that made me think he was a sumo wrestler, and he moved so slowly that I ended up having to carry my heavy suitcase inside by myself when returning home.
バスは5分前にやって来た。荷物を車内の左側半分を占める棚に置くタイプで、こんなのに乗ったのは初めて。
運転手は力士かと思うようなウェストサイズであまりに動きが遅く、帰国時に重くなったスーツケースを自分で車内に運び込むハメに。
Enjoyed the dinner buffet, would probably only recommend maybe a start time a little earlier like 3 p.m. This would allow everyone a chance to enjoy to cruise during daylight before the dinner start.
We arrived an hour early, but we could get our transport right away. roberts checks arrival time based on flight number. driver is accomodating, very nice and a safe driver.
It was amazing to participate on a day of clear skies, as if the thunderstorm from the previous day was a lie. The sea was a bit murky due to the rain, but it was no problem for snorkeling at all. I was surprised that it felt a bit cold after getting out of the water, even though it was sunny. On the way back, thanks to the captain's arrangement, we searched for sea turtles in the bay. Luckily, we spotted a mother and her baby! The scenery was also fantastic. Next time, I want to join when the sandbar is exposed by calculating the high and low tides. Also, the air conditioning on the shuttle bus was at a comfortable temperature, which was great.
前日のサンダーストームが嘘のような快晴の日に参加できて最高でした
ちょっと海が雨の影響で濁っていましたがシュノーケリングには全く問題なし
海からあがると快晴でもちょっと寒かったのは意外でした
帰路では船長の計らいで湾内でウミガメ捜索ー
ラッキーにも親子?二頭を発見‼️
景色も最高ーでした
次は満潮干潮を計算してサンドバーが露出しているタイミングで参加したいと思いました
あと送迎のバスの冷房が適温でよかったです
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. The clear skies in Hawaii after a thunderstorm or rain are truly beautiful, aren't they? The sandbar is a mysterious space created by the combination of natural conditions. I hope to encounter a different, beautiful sandbar next time. Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加いただいてありがとうございました。
サンダーストームとか雨のあとのハワイの快晴ってほんと〜〜〜に綺麗ですよね!!
サンドバーは自然条件が重なり合っておりなす不思議な空間。また次回は違った表情の美しいサンドバーに出会えますように。マハロ!
I was satisfied to learn about the history and connections through the dances of the Pacific Islands. The fire dance was truly impressive!
太平洋の島々の踊りを通じて、歴史、繋がりを知ることが出来て満足しました。ファイヤーダンスは見応え十分です!
no agent to advise where to go. Had a 45 min wait. Paid for guaranteed express, was transported on a large bus with large groups.
Driver was friendly and helpful.
On the second day in Hawaii, we received a call from the hotel that our plans were canceled due to a storm. We had the option to change our plans for the next day or get a refund, but I really wanted to participate in parasailing, which I was looking forward to the most, so I changed the schedule to the next day. Thank you for your quick response to the sudden change.
The weather forecast predicted thunderstorms, and I was half resigned to it, but the next day, to my surprise, it was clear skies! According to the bus driver, the captain of the boat that day was the number one captain! The weather was perfect! He said we were lucky (^ ^)♩
The tour guides only spoke English, but all five groups were Japanese couples, which made it comfortable. I had a great time chatting with a couple from Kansai, thank you! I hope the photos I took catch their eye (^ν^)☆
The scenery was beautiful, and I felt no fear at all. I even had the leisure to chat and take videos while flying! The driver called us a crazy couple… (laughs) I personally got a bit nauseous even after taking motion sickness medication, so it's essential to take it.
We tipped $20 for the two of us. I mentioned that we would buy the photos in advance, and it was $30 for 70 photos, paid by credit card for $35!
On the way back, we received flower hair clips and juice! Thank you to the cute and cheerful driver for the fun (^ ^)
This time we did 120 meters, but I want to challenge 150 meters next time! Thank you, Veltra, for your prompt response and the staff for creating wonderful memories! Sorry for the long message. (laughs)
ハワイに来て2日目、朝から暴風のため中止の電話がホテルに入りました。
次の日の変更、またはキャンセル返金と選べましたが一番に楽しみにしていたパラセーリングにどうしても参加したく、予定を変更し次の日にしてもらいました。急な変更にも迅速に対応して下さいましたありがとうございます。
天気予報では雷雨、半分なかば諦めていましたが次の日、起きてみてびっくり晴天!!
バスの運転手さんいわく今日の船の運転手さんはナンバーワンキャプテン!天気もパーフェクト!ラッキーだねと言っていました(^ ^)♩
添乗員さん方は英語しか話せませんでしたが5組
全員が日本人で皆さん夫婦で気持ちも楽でした☆関西から来られた方と仲良く話せてとても楽しかったですありがとうございます!写真撮っていたので目に入るといいなー(^ν^)☆
景色もよく、怖いという感覚もゼロ。飛びながら喋ったり、動画を撮る余裕もありました!運転手さんにクレイジーカップルだねと言われましたが…(笑)
あと私自身もですが酔い止めを飲んでも少し酔ったので酔い止め必須です。
チップは2人で20$払いました。写真はあらかじめ買いますと伝えて、70枚で30$、クレジットで払って35$でした!
帰りのバスでお花の髪留めとジュースをもらいました!可愛くておちゃめな運転手さん、楽しませてくれてありがとう(^ ^)
今回は120メートルでしたが次は150に挑戦したいです!!ベルトラさん、迅速な対応とスタッフさん方最高な思い出となりましたありがとうございました!長文すみません。笑
This was a super and well worth it tour. We had the Missouri in Washington state for many years and it was so great to see what a wonderful job Hawaii has done in taking care of this part of history. I learned so much history I didn't know about this war and these ships. The tour driver we had was one of the most knowledgeable ones I'd ever had he told us a lot of info we didn't learn on the tour. Not sure how to spell his name Kaleo I think. I would love to do it again as there was so much to learn.
When I arrived in Hawaii, I wasn't really sure where I was. The transfer was standard. I don't have any particular memories. The ride wasn't very comfortable.
ハワイに着いた時、どこにいるのか良くわからなかったです。
普通の送迎でした。特に思い出はないです。乗り心地はあまり良くなかったです。
