Oahu
We went on our honeymoon with another foreign couple. It was unfortunately rainy, but the guide contacted us early and suggested we dress in clothes that could get muddy, so I participated in shorts, a T-shirt, and comfortable sandals. I got completely muddy, and it felt great! (^ ^) The guide provided fun explanations in both English and Japanese while we walked, and also shared recommendations for shops and culture, which was really wonderful! I would love to join the dolphin tour next time, and I hope to have the same guide again.
新婚旅行で行ったのですが、外国人カップルとの4人でした。
あいにくの雨でしたがガイドさんが早めに連絡をくださり、泥だらけになってもいい格好でとの事だったので短パンにTシャツと歩きやすいサンダルで参加。
思いっきり泥だらけになり気持ちよかったです(^ ^)
またガイドさんが英語と日本語で楽しく説明しながら歩いてくださり、オススメのお店や文化なども教えてくれて本当にお会いできてよかったです!
また次回ドルフィンツアーにも参加したいので、同じガイドさんがいいなーと思っております。
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're very happy to hear that you enjoyed it. Please consider joining us for other tours next time. We look forward to seeing you!
嬉しい書き込みありがとうございます。楽しんでいただけたようで私たちもとても嬉しいです。是非、次回は他のツアーにもご参加ください。お待ちしています。
Last year, I went to the sandbar, and this year, the timing of the low tide didn't match, so the water level was about waist-deep. There's nothing we can do about nature. At the sandbar, I had a great time playing beach volleyball with people from overseas and had a female guide take professional-level photos of me! Also, during the turtle watching, we saw turtles swimming gracefully, and the kids were overjoyed!!
After enjoying delicious hamburgers, we went snorkeling. Although the visibility was a bit poor, I was healed by the colorful fish that ate food from my hand!
The captain, the guide, and the crew were all very kind, making it a truly enjoyable tour! I will definitely come back!
昨年もサンドバーへ行きましたが、今年も干潮タイミング合わず腰下程度の水位でした。こればかりは自然の事なので仕方ない。サンドバーでは海外の人とビーチバレーしたり、ガイドの女性にプロ並みの写真撮って頂いたりと大変楽しめました!また、タートルウォッチングでは優雅に泳ぐカメが顔も出してくれて子供も大喜び!!
美味しいハンバーガーを食べた後は、シュノーケリング。こちらも透明度はやや悪かったものの、手からエサを食べてくれる色とりどりの魚に癒されました!
キャプテン、ガイドの方、クルー、皆さん優しくて行程中ほんとに楽しいツアーでした!
また来まーす!
Kayaking was a bit difficult, but it was a lot of fun! It was interesting to land on a flat island and receive explanations about various plants and birds. I was also happy to have the opportunity to take photos in different places. At one point, we had a chance to surf on the waves while kayaking, and the chances of capsizing were fifty-fifty. I did end up capsizing, but I think it was worth trying. I got some scrapes and cuts during the capsize, but the guide helped me out with medicine and band-aids. In the afternoon, I had free time, so I rented a bike and went snorkeling in the sea. I really enjoyed it!
カヤックは漕ぐのはちょっと難しかったんですが、とても楽しかったです!
平らな島に上陸して色々な植物や鳥の説明をしてもらえるので面白かったです。
そして、色々な所で写真を撮ってもらえるのも嬉しかったです。
途中カヤックでの波乗りをやる場面があり、転覆する確率は五分五分。見事に転覆してしまいましたが、やってみる価値はあるかと。転覆の際、擦り傷切り傷ができてしまったんですがガイドさんが薬と絆創膏をくれたので助かりました。
午後は自由行動だったので自転車を借りて海でシュノーケル。楽しめました
Dear Misa,
Thank you for participating in the kayak tour and for your comments. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of Flat Island and the fun of kayaking. We hope you take care of your scrape. Our entire staff at Kailua Beach Adventures looks forward to welcoming you again. Thank you.
Misa様

The tide was either high or it was the season, but the seawater was at waist height. Even so, everyone seemed to be having a great time playing beach volleyball, practicing snorkeling, and relaxing on the boat! I had never tried snorkeling before, but I enjoyed it very much! The staff included a Japanese person who alternated between English and Japanese, which was reassuring. The hamburgers we had on the boat were also delicious!
潮の満ち引きなのか、時季なのか?、海水が腰の高さでした。 それでも、ビーチバレーやったり、シュノーケルの練習が出来たり、船の上でのんびりしたり思い思いの時間を過ごしていて皆さん楽しそうでした! シュノーケルは未体験でしたが、とてもとても楽しめました! スタッフの方も、日本人がいらっしゃって、英語と日本語とを交互にしてくださるので安心です。
船上で食べるハンバーガーも美味でした!
I'm glad I was able to see the dolphins, but I felt that the time spent on other activities (like the staff's performance) was a bit wasted compared to the time swimming with the dolphins. I think it would have been better to visit a few more spots to increase the time spent swimming with the dolphins.
イルカは見ることができて良かったのですが、イルカと泳げた時間に対して、それ以外(スタッフさんのパフォーマンス等)の時間が勿体なかったかな?何ヵ所かポイントを回ってイルカと泳ぐ時間を増やす方が良かったと思います。
Thank you for your comment. Regarding the time spent swimming with the dolphins, we determine the duration with consideration for the dolphins' well-being. We completely understand your feelings, but Dolphin & You is an eco-friendly tour that respects nature, so we appreciate your understanding.
コメントありがとうございます。イルカと泳ぐ時間についてですが、イルカへの負担を考えて泳ぐ時間を決めております。お気持ちはすごくわかりますが、ドルフィン&ユーはエコフレンドリーツアーでもあり、自然への敬意を払ってツアーを行っておりますので、ご了承いただけると幸いです。
It was an awesome experience. The crew was very friendly and nice. The bus was nice and new and comfortable. I however did get a little sea sick so I would recommend taking motion sickness pills to help. Also I would bring a towel
Aloha Tobi,
Mahalo for your 5-Star review! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Motion sickness medication is a great recommendation, especially if it is something a guest is prone to. We offer PSI bands for sale on every tour for those who forget, as well. We are glad you enjoyed the crew and were comfortable on the bus. Please come again some day, and consider joining us for our other And You Creations tours! Aloha!
It might require quite a bit of stamina. I think it would be tough if you're not used to exercising. However, I forget my fatigue and desperately chase after the dolphins. The tiredness hits me later (laughs). I was a bit distant from the dolphins, but it was an emotional experience.
結構体力が必要かも?普段から運動していないときついと思います。だけど、疲れていることを忘れ必死にイルカを追っかけますので。あとで疲れが来ます(笑)
イルカとはある程度距離がありましたが、感動しました。
Thank you for your message. Ocean activities can be physically demanding, so we recommend doing some exercise before participating in the tour. Additionally, depending on the dolphins' situation, you may have the opportunity to observe them at a leisurely pace. Since conditions vary daily, we appreciate your understanding.
書き込みありがとうございます。海のアクティビティーは体力も使いますので、ツアーご参加前には、少し運動しておくことをお勧めします。またイルカの状況により、ゆったりとみられる場合もあります。毎日状況が違いますので、ご了承いただけると嬉しいです。
Had a great time..all phases of this excursion. The staff was friendkly and very helpful. The burgers were great also.
I participated with my 4-year-old child. The tour guide accompanied my child for horseback riding, which made us feel secure. Both my child and I had a great time.
4歳の子供と参加しました。
子供にはツアーの人が付き添いで乗馬をしてもらい安心して参加できました。
子供も私も大変楽しかったです。
I was able to see sea turtles and fish while snorkeling, and above all, the staff's great energy made the boat lively! I definitely want to repeat this when I go to Hawaii again!
ウミガメを見れたし、シュノーケリングで魚を見れたし、何よりもスタッフのノリの良さが船内を賑わせてくれた!またハワイに行った時にはぜひリピートしたい!!
Beautiful hike. Tour guide Jody was informative. Bring repellent, I didn’t even realize I got a few bites! It can get messy if it rains, muddy shoes. There’s so many people, a tour guide is not really needed but the transportation there and back was nice. Also, this was my first hike and also my mother in laws, we did really well. Totally worth it. Lunch was also very good, first time trying vegan food, it was surprisingly filling.
Mahalo for your 5-star review! We appreciate you taking the time to spread the word about our Nature and You tour, which is still growing. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the hike and the vegan food! Mosquito repellent and shoes for muddy weather are great recommendations, as well. Thank you for remembering Jody! We will be sure to pass along this positive feedback to him. Safe travels and aloha!
I was worried about not being able to see any dolphins, but I ended up seeing a lot of them. I was so absorbed in dolphin watching that before I knew it, my husband and I had separated while watching. It was also fun dancing on the boat!
イルカに会えなかったら?と不安もありましたが、たくさんのイルカに会えました
イルカ鑑賞に夢中で、気付けば夫婦バラバラになって見てました。笑
船の上でのダンスも楽しくて良かったです
Thank you for your happy comment. Please come and visit us again!
嬉しい書き込みありがとうございます。是非また遊びに来てください。
I love Hawaiian music and was looking forward to it, but when I went after 6 PM, there was no live performance. The atmosphere of the restaurant and the dishes served were great. I would like to use this place again next time.
ハワイアン音楽が好きで期待しておりましたが、夕方6時過ぎに行きましたが、ライブ演奏はありませんでした。お店の雰囲気・出されたお料理は良かったです。次回も利用したいと思います。
It was my first time snorkeling, and I was satisfied! I thought the photos would have been prettier if the weather had been better, but I was glad to see a sea turtle! There weren't any 17cm fins or floaties for children, but it was fine to wrap a stick as a substitute for a float or swim side by side.
初シュノーケルでしたが満足です☆天気がもっと良ければ写真も綺麗だったかなぁと思いましたが、海ガメも見られて良かったです!
子ども用の17cmの足ひれと浮き輪はありませんでしたが、浮き輪がわりの棒を巻きつける、または横並びで泳げば問題なしでした。
I felt安心 knowing that there were Japanese staff on board. The sea was beautiful, and I enjoyed delicious hamburgers and salads that were grilled on the ship. I was surprised when I got stung by a jellyfish, but the staff quickly applied medicine for me. I recommend wearing a wetsuit for those who are concerned.
日本人スタッフが乗船していて安心できました。海はきれいで船内で焼いたハンバーガーとサラダなどをおいしくいただきました。クラゲに刺されてびっくりしましたが、すぐにスタッフが薬を塗ってくれました。心配な人はウェットスーツ着用をおすすめします。
We had such a great time!
Such a friendly and amazing staffs!
We are so glad that we made our sand bar trip with captain bob.
I think his name is Mike, one of the staff, he even kindly gave us some information where we should visit in OAHU.
We were so amazed by their kind and warm welcome!!
Thank you so so much!
I did see sea turtles, but the sandbar I was looking for was underwater! The water was up to my waist, which was pointless! I was disappointed. However, the staff were friendly and took great care to ensure that snorkeling was very safe. I didn't participate, though.
ウミガメは確かに見られました。しかし目的のサンドバーが海の中!腰のあたりまでの海水、意味が無い!がっがりです。でもスタッフは新設でシュノーケルもとても安全に気をくばっていました。私はやりませんでしたが。
Unfortunately, I couldn't meet the dolphins on my first attempt, but on my second try, I was able to meet them successfully! The staff were all cheerful, and I had a wonderful time!
1回目は残念ながらイルカとは会えませんでしたが、2回目のチャレンジで無事会えることができました!スタッフの方も陽気な方ばかりで、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました!
Thank you for joining the tour to swim with wild dolphins. I'm glad to hear that you had a great time. Please do come back and visit us again when you're in Hawaii.
野生のイルカと泳ぐツアーへのご参加ありがとうございます。楽しい時間を過ごしていただけたようで、よかったです。是非、またハワイにお越しの際は、遊びにきてください。
On the day of the event, it was cloudy, but I felt it was better than rain, so I participated. At the sandbar, the water level was up to my knees, but that was within expectations. The staff took a lot of photos and kept the atmosphere lively on the boat, which made it enjoyable. If there's one thing I would like to see improved, it's that many people were kicking at the surface while snorkeling, which made the water murky. I hope they can provide a stronger reminder at the beginning.
当日は雲でしたので、雨よりはマシという気持ちで参加しました。
サンドバーでは膝あたりまで水位がありましたが、想定内でした。
スタッフの方々がたくさん写真も撮ってくださったり、船上で盛り上げてくださるので、楽しませてもらいました。
一点改善いただきたいことがあるとすれば、
シュノーケリングの際に、水面でバタ足をする人が多く、水中が濁っていました。
もっとはじめのタイミングでしっかり注意を促してほしいなと思いました。

On the day of the tour, it was cloudy with occasional rain until we reached Angel's Sea, but it cleared up around the turtle watching. Since it's a sightseeing spot by the sea, satisfaction can greatly depend on the weather, but the crew was very cheerful, and we were able to have a great time throughout the experience.

I'm glad I chose the guided tour. I was able to get some photos taken, and I received explanations about the birds on the island. It was tough due to the heavy rain, but kayaking was a lot of fun!
ガイド付きのツアーにして、良かったです。
写真も撮ってもらえたし、島での鳥の説明もしてもらえました。
雨がひどくて大変でしたがカヤックはとても楽しかったです!
Dear Light,
Thank you for participating in the tour and for your comments. Although it rained unfortunately, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed it. We hope you will come back next time when the weather is perfect. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
Sincerely,

Regarding the sandbar, the tides are important, so I think you'll have a great time if you consider that when booking a tour. On the day we went, the water level was just about knee-deep, so the white sandy beach was visible and it was really beautiful!
サンドバーに関しては、潮の満ち干が重要なので、それを考慮してツアーを申し込むと、とても楽しめると思います。私たちが利用した日は、海面が丁度膝下くらいの高さだったので、白い砂浜が見えてすごくきれいでした!
We participated in a sandbar tour for the first time as a family of three. It was the only day of our trip that it rained all day. Despite the unfortunate weather, the staff communicated in Japanese and made us feel at ease. The water level at the sandbar was about waist-deep, but we had a great time playing volleyball and other activities. We also encountered sea turtles and manta rays. The BBQ cheeseburger for lunch was even better than we expected! There were seconds available, but one was filling enough. Drinks like cola and iced tea were free. On the way back, we experienced some engine trouble with the boat, but we were towed back safely by a helper boat. The staff explained the issues thoroughly, so we were able to enjoy the experience without any worries.
家族3人で初めてのサンドバーツアー参加でした。
今回の旅行で唯一の終日”雨”。。。
生憎の天気の中、スタッフも日本語を駆使し、なごませていただきました。
サンドバーの水位は股下程度ほどでしたが、バレーボール等で楽しく過ごせました。
そして、ウミガメ&マンタにも遭遇することができました。
ランチのBBQチーズバーガーは予想以上においしかった!!
お代わりありましたが、一つで満腹なサイズです。
ドリンクもコーラ、アイスティーなど、フリーでした。
帰りに船のエンジントラブルがありましたが、助っ人の船で牽引して
無事帰港できました。
トラブルも丁寧に説明していただき、全く不安なく過ごすことができました。
It was supposed to rain, but the weather was fantastic. (The wind was strong.)
The BBQ on the boat was also very delicious.
The highlight was encountering many sea turtles.
While snorkeling around the coral reef, a turtle swam alongside me.
I will definitely go again next time.
雨予報でしたが、天気は最高でした。(風は強い)
船上BBQも大変おいしかったです。
1番はたくさんのウミガメに遭遇できたことです。
シュノーケリングでサンゴ礁を1周した際、カメが一緒に泳いでくれました。
次回も必ず行きます。
I always find it easy to make reservations with VELTRA.
I participated in a sandbar tour for the first time. The staff were fun and lively, and I had a wonderful time. As for the main event, we saw so many sea turtles that it felt almost staged! (laughs) The sandbar was beautiful, and the snorkeling that followed was safe and well-organized, making it enjoyable even for my 5-year-old child!
I would love to use this service again. Thank you!
VELTRAは予約も簡単でいつも利用させていただいています。
はじめてサンドバーツアーに参加しました。
スタッフ方々も楽しく盛り上げて頂き、とても良い時間を過ごさせて頂きました。
肝心の内容は、ウミガメウオッチングは仕込み?なくらい見られてました!笑
サンドバーもとてもキレイで、その後のシュノーケリングも安全の配慮も完璧で楽しく出来き5歳の子供も楽しく出来ました!
また利用したいです。
ありがとうございました!
The wind was strong and the weather wasn't great, but the crew on the boat was really good at keeping things lively, and I had a great time. Since it was close to high tide, I’d like to go again when I can walk normally.
風が強く、天気もイマイチでしたが、船の方が盛り上げ上手で楽しく過ごせました。
満潮近かったので、今度は普通に歩ける時に行きたいです。
The guidance was clear and easy to understand in Japanese, allowing me to enjoy the half-day experience. I checked the tide schedule in advance and chose the morning course since I was attending with a one-year-old. Although I couldn't go snorkeling because I had my child with me, I still had a great time. This was my second time participating, but unfortunately, the weather was a bit worse compared to my last visit. I would like to come back on a sunny day to show my child the sandbar!
日本語で分かりやすく誘導してくださり、半日通して楽しく参加できました。
事前に潮の満ち引きを調べて、また1歳の子連れで参加だったため、午前だけのコースにしました。
子連れだったのでシュノーケリングはできませんでしたが、十分楽しむことができました。
今回は2度目の参加でしたが、前回とは違い天気が少し悪かったのが残念でした。また天気のいい日に子どもにサンドバーを見せてあげたいのでリベンジしたいと思います!
When inexperienced riders go horseback riding in Japan, there are often people pulling the reins beside them, but here, the ranch staff leads the way on horseback, forming a line and taking about 1.5 hours to tour the ranch. There were many amusing incidents, such as the horses bumping into each other, starting to eat grass, and needing to relieve themselves, which made it enjoyable. Among the six customers, we were the only Japanese.
日本で未経験者が乗馬となると、オーバルコースで横に手綱を引く人がいたり、だと思いますが、ここでは牧場スタッフが騎乗した馬を先頭に、隊列を組んで1.5時間かけて牧場内を回ります。
乗馬した馬同士でどつきあったり、草を食べ始めたり、用をたしたりのハプニングが多数あって、楽しめました。
6人のお客のうち、日本人は私達だけでした。
Great crew just the right amount of time and I burn easy. Just bring stuff to cover up and sunscreen. So much fun and a unbelievable experience. Most of what we saw didnt seem real, like we were watching it on tv.
This time, my wife, who can't swim, wanted to take on the challenge and participated! However, she gave up right after jumping in (^^;
Even so, we were able to enjoy a wonderful time on the boat with the best performances and the attentive service from the crew.
今回、泳げない妻がチャレンジしたいと参加しました❗
が
やはり、飛び込んですぐにギブアップ(^^;
それでも船上で最高のパフォーマンスやクルーの細やかなサービスに楽しい一時を過ごす事ができました。
Thank you for your comment. We are all delighted to receive your compliments about the service on board. We hope your wife will definitely come back for another try. We look forward to seeing you again.
書き込みありがとうございます。船上でのサービスにお褒めのお言葉をいただき、スタッフ一同喜んでおります。奥様も是非またリベンジしてください。お待ちしています。
