I participated on 8/11 because I heard that there are fewer people on Mondays than on Sundays. That said, there were still quite a few people... but definitely fewer than at Waikiki Beach.
Upon arrival, we received about 20 minutes of explanation regarding lockers, rental equipment, and lunch, and then we were free to explore. The staff was fluent in Japanese, friendly, and had a great attitude, which made for a pleasant experience.
This time, I went with the purpose of enjoying the ocean, so I didn't go into town. (On a different day, I joined a tour to the North Shore and Kailua, where I did some shopping and had Kimo's pancakes.) If you're considering shopping in town, you might find that there's not enough time.
I thought about renting a bike to go to Lanikai Beach, but it became a bit of a hassle, so I ended up staying at Kailua Beach the whole time. However, I didn't have any trouble filling my time; I took naps on the sandy beach and walked along the coast.
For lunch, I had a meat plate lunch. It was simple, but the meat was tender and delicious!
日曜より月曜のほうが人が少ないという噂だったので、8/11に参加しました。
とはいえ、やはりだいぶ人はいましたが・・・。
ワイキキビーチよりは断然少なかったです。
現地に到着、ロッカーや貸出器具、昼食について20分ほど説明を受け、すぐに自由行動。対応スタッフは日本語がペラペラで愛想もノリも良く、気持ちのいい対応でした。
今回は海を目的に行ったので、街には行きませんでした。
(別日に、ノースショア&カイルアのツアーに参加し、そちらで買い物やキモズのパンケーキを食べました。)
街で買い物も、と考えると、少し時間がたりないかもしれません。
自転車を借りてラニカイビーチまで行こうかとも思ったのですが、ちょっと面倒になり、結局ずっとカイルアビーチにいました、でも砂浜で昼寝をしたり、海岸をずっと歩いて行ってみたり・・・時間を持て余すことは無かったです。
お昼はお肉のプレートランチにしました。
シンプルですが、お肉が柔らかくておいしかった!

I think the overall experience was very good. The sea was beautiful, and it wasn't inconvenient at all even though I couldn't speak English. However, the waiting times were too long, and since it was a vacation, I hope there will be less time spent just waiting around doing nothing. If it weren't for that, I would be very satisfied.
形態的にはとても良かったと思います。海もきれいだったし、英語も話せなくても全然不便ではなかったです。だが、待ち時間が長すぎて、せっかくのバケーションなので、なんにもなくぼーっと待つ時間が少なくなると良いと思います。それがなければ、満足です。

This is a must do. Very fun, SOOO much stuff to do. You will not be able to do everything so look through your map and do the stuff you want to do. They do allow you to go back to the park for free for the next 3 days (just don't get to watch the show or eat) to do the other activities if you have time.

I'm glad I went! Since everything is in English, I think it would be a great time for anyone who understands English. It's almost like being surrounded by foreigners, so you can really enjoy the Hawaiian vibe, and I had a wonderful time taking in the sunset and the ocean views. I definitely want to go again when I visit Hawaii!

全て英語なので英語がわかる人なら最高に楽しいと思います。ほぼ外人なので、ハワイ感が味わえるしサンセットや海の景色もよく楽しめました。またハワイに行ったら絶対に行きたいです。

What can I say except perfect-starting from the bus picking us up-Jenner was funny and made it like a tour of that part of the Island. The boat crew were all great-quick to help you, offer you stuff, teach you about the boat, the island and the tour. Lunch was great-sandbar was so cool-saw a couple jellies-did not play volleyball but loved watching it. Then we saw at least 10 sea turtles-and a manta-all to end up at the reef-saw a couple sea turtles while in the water and so many fish-it was amazing. I WILL do this again if we return to Oahu.

As the name "Heavenly Sea" suggests, the ocean was incredibly beautiful and moving. At the sandbar, the staff took many photos for us, which created wonderful memories. The hamburger we had on the boat was also very delicious. I had heard it would be cold, so bringing a bath towel was the right choice. I would like to use this service again next time.

When I saw "popular," I thought, really?! and felt a bit anxious, but it was really great. The bus ride to and from was cold. There were participants other than Japanese people who seemed to be talking about how cold it was in English, but they only slightly reduced the air flow, and it was still cold. So, warm clothing is necessary.
The sea was truly beautiful, and the kids had a blast! We were very satisfied with the family photos taken. I wish we could have spent more time there. For lunch, we had hamburgers, but the portion was satisfying. The boat also had a restroom, which was reassuring! I didn't experience any seasickness.
After that, we went sea turtle watching. We were able to see several come up for air. Then we moved to a snorkeling spot. We saw a lot of fish and were very satisfied! Both my 6-year-old and 14-year-old enjoyed it. Although we participated at the end of July, it was cold when we got out of the water. At first, I felt the price was a bit high, but my family was very satisfied with our participation. 😊
”人気”と書かれると、ホントに?!と不安に思っていましたが、とても良かったです。
行き帰りのバスは寒かったです。日本人以外の参加の人がいて英語で寒いと会話していたようですが、風量を若干下げてくれてたぐらいで、それでも寒かった。なので、防寒着は必要です。
海は本当にキレイで、子供も大はじゃぎ!
家族写真もうまく撮っていただき大満足。時間的にはもっとゆっくりしたかったなぁ~
お昼は、ハンバーガーだけど、お腹は満足出来る量でした。
船には、トイレもあるので、安心!船酔いも無かったです。
その後は、ウミガメウォッチング。息継ぎに上がってくるのを何匹か見れました。
また移動し、シュノーケリング出来るスポットへ。
魚がいっぱい見れて、大満足!子供6歳、14歳も楽しんでました。
7月末の参加でしたが、海から出ると寒かったです。
最初は、料金的には高い気もしましたが、我が家は参加してとても満足でした(^^)/

With 10 adults, 6 toddlers, and 2 infants participating, I thought it would be impossible for everyone to board the boat, but we all managed to get on together, and it became a wonderful memory! The staff were all very nice, providing us with photos and tea, and their attentiveness was excellent. Since it was a short time, I was worried about whether we could enjoy it, but the plan allowed participation even for those with babies and those who didn't want to snorkel, so the whole family was able to have a great time! Plus, since we finished in the morning, we could move on to the next plan, making it a very satisfying day!

Made my telephone reservation directly with Veltra and the person I spoke to was very helpful and informative, so I was prepared for the day. I have river kayaked for many years, but this was my first experience with sea kayaking, so I wasn't sure how things would go when wind, current, waves and a different style of kayak were added to the mix. I had a great experience with this company! Toby was an excellent instructor and guide and we had a small group, so we received lots of individualized instruction. Beautiful scenery! And Toby shared a lot of Hawaiin history with us which was a nice bonus. My only regret is not taking the 5 hour trip so I could have more paddling time!! Pizza Lunch was good. After lunch, rode a bike 10 minutes to Lanikai beach and enjoyed some great snorkeling! Wonderful day in Oahu!

During my last trip to Hawaii, I was so moved by the show before the Hilton fireworks that this time I wanted to see it up close, and I also wanted to entertain my friend who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, so I made a reservation.
The reviews beforehand weren't great, but we were very satisfied with the show.
The table we were assigned to had few Asians, but the foreigners sitting next to us were very friendly. The conch shell contest was also fun, as we formed teams at each table, which created a great sense of unity. By the way, we watched from the general seating, and it was more than enough.
The stage show was thrilling, and the female MC's storytelling was easy for Japanese people to understand.
Once the show starts, you become glued to the stage, so you won't have time to go for seconds at the buffet or even focus on eating. I recommend eating well before the show begins.
前回のハワイ旅行でヒルトンの花火の前にやっていたショーを見て
感動したので、今回はすぐそばで見たいと思ったのと初ハワイの友人を楽しませたくて

事前の口コミはあんまりでしたが、私たちには大満足のショーでした。
私たちの案内されたテーブルは、アジアの人が少なかったのですが
隣になった外国人の皆さんがとてもフレンドリーに接してくれて
ほら貝のコンテストも、テーブル毎にチームになって
その一体感も良かったです。
ちなみに、一般席での観賞でしたが十分でした。
迫力満点のステージショーやMCの女性の話術も

一度、ショーが始まるとステージにクギ付けになってしまうので

It was unfortunately rainy from the morning, but the sun came out just during the sandbar and snorkeling time. We checked the tides and were able to see the best views. The round trip from the port was cold due to the rain, and some people were standing in covered areas. There's nothing we can do about the weather, but it would have been even better if it had been sunny.
