The staff was kind and had great energy, making it a really fun tour. Despite a hurricane approaching, we managed to avoid it and set off in pleasant weather! We dove into the sea at two points to swim with dolphins, and luckily, we saw honu (sea turtles) at both spots. They made sure to check if everyone had seen the dolphins, and the explanations in both English and Japanese were reassuring. The slide after swimming with the dolphins was also fun and I highly recommend it! Due to the wind, we couldn't play on the trampoline, which I was looking forward to, but I'll save that for next time!

Once you get into the sea, you inevitably feel cold from the wind while on the boat, so I recommend bringing a towel or a hoodie to wear!

I didn't receive the eco-bag that was mentioned during the booking, but this trip was a highlight for me, so I'm satisfied! I will definitely participate again next time!

スタッフの方も親切で、ノリも良くてすごく楽しいツアーになりました。ハリケーンが来ている中、なんとか逸れてくれて、心地いい天気の中出発！イルカと泳ぐポイント2箇所で海へダイブ、ラッキーだったのかどちらのポイントでもホヌも見れました。 きちんと参加者全員がイルカを見れたかも聞いてくれるし、英語と日本語で丁寧に説明してくれるのな安心です。イルカと泳いだ後の、スライダーも楽しくてオススメです！風の影響で、楽しみにしていたトランポリンでは遊べませんでしたが、これは次回の楽しみに取っておきます笑◡̈

一度海に入った後は、どうしても船上で風を浴びるので、寒く感じます。タオルやパーカーなど羽織れるものを持っていくことをオススメします！

申し込み時に書いてあったエコバッグは頂けませんでしたが…
今回の旅でのハイライトとなりましたので、満足です！次回も是非参加します♪

I went to Hawaii to celebrate my mother's 77th birthday. About ten years ago, when we came together, my mother also went into the ocean, but I was wondering if she would this time. To my delight, the beautiful sea encouraged her to join in, and she was very happy. She says she wants to go again while she's still healthy. The guide was also kind and had interesting stories to share.

母の喜寿のお祝いに行ったハワイでした。１０年位前に一緒に来た時には母も海に入りましたが、今回はどうかなぁと思っていたところ、あまりのきれいな海に母も一緒に海に入って喜んでいました。元気なうちにもう一度行きたいと言っています。案内の女性の方も親切でお話も面白かったです。

We would like to thank the staff of veltra for their outstanding services with helping making our dream vacation a reality, we really enjoyed the whole adventure - it took us awhile to choose which to do but I am so glad we picked this one - the staff at each event were very knowledgeable.

Thanks Again

We would like to thank the staff of veltra for their outstanding services with helping making our dream vacation a reality, we really enjoyed the Dinner Cruise - the staff on the boat were perfect, dinner was delicious, show was very enjoyable!

Thanks Again

The show was funny and entertaining. The pre-games were fun. We even got a special dance since it was our honeymoon.. 2nd day. The drinks could have been better..the bartender was a bit sloppy..just stick to the mai tais

The scenic tour was gorgeous. Garrett was an excellent tour guide and was very informative. The staff at the ranch are very friendly and professional. I would totally recommend this place.

The show was great!!! Michael Jackson..was on point... I would definitely recommend this show and watch it again.

Unfortunately, due to the rain, we couldn't fully enjoy the beautiful emerald blue sea, but we had a great time with the sandbar, turtle watching, and snorkeling. The BBQ lunch was very delicious. The guide, as well as the captain and crew, were friendly and very kind. I would like to participate again when the weather is nice. (The weather is always a matter of luck on the day...)

あいにくの雨で、美しいエメラルドブルーの海を満喫という訳にはいきませんでしたが、サンドバーとウミガメウォッチング、スノーケルを楽しみました。
BBQランチ、とても美味しかったです。ガイドさんをはじめ、船長やクルーもフレンドリーでとても優しく親切でした。今度は良い天気の時に参加したいです。（天候ばかりは当日の運ですが…）

It was so beautiful when the fireworks started on the water.We had a great time on boat.

The next day, I suffered from muscle pain in my arms and the sting of sunburn, but I had a very enjoyable time. The instructors prioritized safety while also providing assistance and ensuring we had fun. If I could wish for one thing, since we went all the way to Kailua, it would be great if they could extend the return time a bit so we could enjoy more activities.

翌日以降、腕の筋肉痛と日焼け痕のひりひりに苦しんでますが、非常に楽しい時間を過ごしました。インストラクターの方々が安全を優先し、時折援助しつつも、しっかりと楽しませてくれました。欲を言えば、せっかくカイルアまで行くので、帰りの時間をもう少し遅くしてくれると楽しめることが増えるのにな、と。

Due to the approaching hurricane, the waves were high and the visibility was poor. Haha. I was looking forward to turtle watching, but it seems the turtles evacuated as well, so I couldn't see them... Well, it's a natural phenomenon, so it can't be helped! The hamburger for lunch was delicious!

ハリケーン接近の為、波が高く透明度も悪かった〜。笑 海ガメウォッチングも楽しみにしてたけどカメも避難したらしく見れず… まあ、自然現象なので、仕方ない！ランチのハンバーガーは、美味しかったー！

The atmosphere is absolutely fantastic. I visited Hawaii on my honeymoon last year, and I was hoping to go to this restaurant this year. Reservations are a must a few months in advance. I thought that the ocean-side terrace seats might require booking six months ahead. I would love to visit again.

とにかく雰囲気は抜群です。
昨年ハネムーンでハワイに訪れましたが、こちらのお店は今年こそ行きたいと思っていました。
数カ月前に予約は必須です。
テラスの海側の席は半年前でないと予約は取れないのかなと思ったくらいです。また利用したいです。

We are a couple in our 50s, participating with our 4th-year university daughter. We were unsure about the morning program, but this plan turned out to be the right choice. The sandbar was beautiful, but there weren't many fish while snorkeling, so it felt a bit lacking. However, the snorkeling after moving to the coral reef was absolutely satisfying. We experienced schools of fish and saw a turtle up close in the water, which was an unforgettable experience. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and I want to thank the man who entertained us on the bus and Yuki, who was very attentive on the boat. My wife and daughter were also very satisfied!

54歳同士の夫婦、大学4年生の娘と3人で参加。午前中のプログラムと迷いましたが、このプランで正解。サンドバーは綺麗でしたが、シュノーケリングしても魚もいないので、こんなものかなぁと。その後の、珊瑚棚に移動してからのシュノーケリングが大満足。魚の群れ入るは、海の中でホヌが至近で見られるは、これまでに無い経験。ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったし、行きのバスを盛り上げてくれたおじさん、船でいろいろと気を使ってくれたユキさん、ありがとうございました。かみさんも娘も大満足でした！

We had a great time and it's definitely worthwhile to check out the Sandbar. The water is just beautiful and great snorkelling too. Lunch was also very decent. We had hamburger and pineapples and tortilla chips on the side. The only thing that bothered us was that the Captain kept on assuming we are Japanese and that we don't speak English (given that there are a lot of Japanese tourists on the boat). He repeatedly tried to communicate with us in very broken Japanese. We look Asian, but we are Canadian and we don't understand Japanese. I always reply him in English but he keeps forgetting that we speak English. Maybe he thinks we all look the same. He loved making conversations in English with Caucasian guests, called out the non-Asian names on his list of guests, and ask them where they were from, whether they were celebrating an occasion, but made no effort to talk to us the same way. The translator, think his name was Freddie, initially assumed we were Japanese too but caught on right away that we are English speakers which was great. Other staff were very nice and helpful. Overall we did have a great time and I would recommend this, only the Captain frustrated us a little.

I had high expectations, so I was left with a somewhat disappointing impression. However, I recommend it for those who have seen regular Hawaiian shows several times and want to experience a slightly different atmosphere. Even from the second-floor seats, you could see everything up close with the naked eye!

あまりにも期待しすぎていたのでイマイチな印象でしたが、普通のハワイアンショーを何度か見ていてちょっと違った雰囲気を味わいたい方にはオススメです。２階席でも十分肉眼で見ることの出来る近さでした！

The sandbar was deeper than I expected, which surprised me! I've heard that the beach appears only during certain times. Snorkeling was so much fun! There wasn't much explanation on how to use the snorkeling gear, so I almost felt like I was going to drown until I got the hang of it (laughs). We saw beautiful corals, fish, and sea turtles. I went with my family and husband, and we all had a great time!

サンドバー、思ったより深くてびっくり！！砂浜が現れるのは時期があるそうです。シュノーケルすごく楽しかった！シュノーケルの使い方の説明があまりないので、コツを掴むまで溺れそうになったけど（笑）きれいなサンゴ、魚、ウミガメ見れました家族と旦那と行きましたが、みんなで盛り上がりました！

I booked this for my teenage daughter and I and we loved it!
The ranch is gorgeous and the scenery was amazing. The horses are beautiful and well cared for and the staff are patient and really nice.
Would definitely recommend this to anyone. We did the 1 1/2 hour scenic ride which is perfect for beginners and riders with minimal experience.

This time, Celine was there. It was so wonderful that I was moved to tears. Michael was smaller than the person who appeared last time. The quality is high, but unlike the impersonators in Japan, the scale is different. It was moving.

今回はセリーヌがいました。とてもすばらしくて感動して涙が出ました。マイケルは前回出ていた方より小柄になってました。クオリティーは高いですが。
日本のそっくりさんと違ってスケールが違います。感動です。

I highly recommended the round the island day tour. Justin was our tour guide, and his encyclopedic knowledge and commentary made the day very memorable.

It was disappointing that we couldn't see the fish due to the rain from the previous day, but the staff were very kind, and it was reassuring even with small children around. Thank you very much.

前日の雨の影響で魚が見えなかったのが残念でしたが、スタッフの方々がとても親切で小さな子供たちがいても安心でした
ありがとうございました

The sandbar was submerged in seawater up to my waist, but it was a beautiful place with very clear water. I went snorkeling, but there weren't any fish at all. Since there were no hiding spots, there were no fish.
Next, we headed for sea turtle watching, and I was able to see several sea turtles. It was really great.
Then, we went to the coral reef and enjoyed snorkeling in a place where I couldn't touch the bottom. Many fish welcomed us, and it was fun.
Finally, the hamburgers made by the staff were very delicious. I thanked the staff and said goodbye.

サンドバーは腰位まで海水に浸かりましたが、とても水が綺麗で素敵な場所でした。シュノーケリングをしましたが、魚は1匹もいませんでした。隠れる所がないので、魚はいないですね。
次に、海ガメウォッチングに向かいましたが、何頭もの海ガメを見ることができました。とても良かったです。
次に、サンゴ礁に向かい足の着かない場所でのシュノーケリングを楽しみました。たくさんの魚たちが迎えてくれて楽しかったです。
最後に、スタッフの皆さんが作ってくれたハンバーガーがとても美味しかったです。スタッフの皆さんにお礼を言ってお別れしました。

I participated in a morning-only tour. It happened to be a day when the tide was high, so even in the shallowest areas, the water level was up to my stomach. However, I had a great time during the photo opportunities and snorkeling, and the sandwiches were delicious, so it was a good experience overall.

午前中のみのツアーに参加しました。当日はたまたま潮が満ちている日だったようで、一番浅い所でもお腹位まで水位がありました。ただ、写真タイムやシュノーケリングを楽しく過ごせましたし、サンドイッチも美味しかったので、良かったです。

Very nice Luau. Very entertaining. They provided activities for children. The food was very good.

We traveled by boat and were able to reach our destination while enjoying a fun guided experience. I remember that when I went, the water was shallow, about up to my knees, but we were able to see a beautiful sandbar. We also saw sea turtles and enjoyed snorkeling for about an hour. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious (≧∇≦). Despite a mishap where the strong wind blew away the lettuce, the crew and other guests had a great time enjoying the tour together! It was a place I would love to visit again!

船で移動しますが、楽しくガイドをしていただきながら目的地までいくことができました。私が行った時は浅いところでひざ下くらいまで海水があったと記憶していますが、キレイなサンドバーをみることができました。
ウミガメも見られましたし、シュノーケリングも約1時間楽しみました。
お昼のハンバーガーはおいしかったです（≧∇≦）風が強くレタスが吹き飛ばされるというハプニングもありながら、クルーのみなさん、お客さんと和気あいあいとツアーを楽しむことができました！
またいきたいと思える場所でした！

Loved the cruise. The food was good and service was on point. My girlfriend had an allergic reaction to something in food. We were blown away by the response the crew had and they took care of us. Overall we had a great time and plan to do it again in the future.

Loved everything about the cultural center. The food was amazing at the luau and the show was breath taking. Our Veltra reservations were easy to make and worked perfectly

The smell was a bit concerning, but we were able to see a lot of beautiful scenery. My son really enjoyed the jungle cruise and said he wants to go again and live in Hawaii.

匂いは気になりましたがきれいな景色を沢山見れて、息子はジャングルクルーズがとても楽しかっだみたいで、また行きたい、ハワイに住みたいと言ってました。

The sandbar was absolutely wonderful.
During snorkeling, a turtle swam by and almost bumped into me; it was an amazing experience.
The hamburger for lunch was so delicious that my son, who usually has a small appetite, said he wanted another one!

サンドバー、最高に素敵でした。
シュノーケルでは、亀が泳いできてぶつかりそうになったり、驚きの体験でした。
ランチのハンバーガー、とっても美味しくて、少食なはずの息子がもうひとつ食べたい！と言ってました。

Perfect night! Great cruise ship, the crew was wonderful and entertaining. Also, the food was delicious!

The bus pickup was significantly delayed, which made me worry. Other participants in the same tour were concerned and went to make phone calls, but we missed each other, which was a bit of a downside.

Since it was windy, my family, who tends to get seasick, was a little worried, but it turned out to be no problem at all. Despite the strong winds, the water was surprisingly clear. That's what the lady said. The sea was truly beautiful. At the bar, even though the surrounding water was a deep blue, the spot we were in was only knee-deep, making it a unique experience. The lady took many perfect shots of us.

We only saw the sea turtles briefly, but it was nice to have spotted them. Then came snorkeling time. We went around the coral, but it was a place where even adults couldn't touch the bottom at all. We were given life jackets and floating bars, and off we went! My 7-year-old daughter was super excited, swimming around and shouting, "There are red fish! There are striped ones!"

I was trying to keep up while almost cramping my legs, holding onto the bar. For lunch, we had hamburgers made with freshly grilled patties topped with cheese and plenty of vegetables. It was delicious. The wind was strong, and the lettuce was flying everywhere, but that was part of the fun.

The lady kindly brought a cup of salsa sauce and chips for my daughter, who loved them. Everything was well taken care of, and we had a great time without any seasickness. For the return trip, I think it would be good to prepare to change quickly in the restroom so we wouldn't feel cold on the way back.

We had a wonderful experience. Of course, my daughter's illustrated diary was all about snorkeling.

バスのお迎えが予定よりかなり遅れて、心配しました。
同じツアーの方は心配して電話をしに行って下さってましたが、入れ違いになったりそこがちょっとマイナスポイントでした。

風が強かったので船酔いしやすい我が家は少し心配しましたが、全く問題ありませんでした。
風が強い割に透明度出てますね。とお姉さんの言葉。本当に綺麗な海でした。バーでは周り濃い青の海なのに自分たちのいる場所だけが膝下で貴重な体験でした。お姉さんにバッチリのショットを沢山撮っていただきました。
ウミガメさんは少ししか顔を出してくれなかったけどまあ見られたのでよかったです。
そしてシュノーケリングタイム。サンゴの周りに行きますが、大人でも全く足のつかない場所でした。ライフジャケットと浮かぶバーを貸してもらってGO！7歳の娘は大興奮。泳ぎまくって、赤のお魚がいた！シマシマがいた！と大騒ぎでした。
親の私が脚がつりそうになりながらバーを持ってついていってました。
ランチのハンバーガーは焼きたてのハンバーグにチーズをのせて、好きな野菜をたっぷり入れていただきました。美味しかったです。風が強くてレタスが飛び散ってましたが、それも楽しかったです。
サルサソースとチップスを気に入ったムスメの為にお姉さんがカップに入れてお代わりを持ってきてくださいました。
至れりつくせりで、船酔いもなく、楽しく過ごせました。帰りはトイレの中でサッと着替えられる様に用意をして行けば寒くなく帰れると思います。
とても良い経験をしました。ムスメの絵日記はもちろんシュノーケリングでした。
