Outstanding Crew- excellent service...beautiful venue...fun packed day

This was an amazing experience and totally worth the ticket. I ended up upgrading to a guided tour which was nice in some ways because they helped me navigate the exhibits and get places but I wasn’t able to see everything I wanted to so maybe not for everyone. Overall a great experience though!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff and lots to see on this tour.

Welcome drink (juice or Mai Tai)
→ Buffet-style dinner
→ Enjoy the show
This is basically the flow of the evening.
The prices vary depending on the seats, but you could see the stage from any seat.
The show included hula dancing, singing, audience participation, and a grand finale with fire dancing—there was so much to enjoy!
It was the perfect show to enjoy a night in Hawaii.
After watching the show, you receive a discount voucher for the bar next door at the Hilton, so you can savor a drink while relishing the afterglow of the show... it was just fantastic!

ウェルカムドリンク（ジュースかマイタイ）
→ビュッフェ形式で夕食
→ショーを鑑賞
基本はこんな流れです。
席によって値段が違いますが、どの席からでもステージが見れました。
ショーはフラダンスあり、歌あり、お客さんを引っ張り出しての余興あり、ラストのファイアーダンスまで盛りだくさん！
ハワイの夜を楽しむには最高のショーでした。
ショーを鑑賞した後は、隣のヒルトンにあるバーの割引券がもらえるので、ショーの余韻を感じながら一杯・・・なんて最高なこともできたり。

The guide was cheerful and fun, and the hamburgers were delicious! The water level on the day was about waist-high, but playing beach volleyball was also enjoyable, and it was the best experience. We encountered many sea turtles as well.
I want to participate in this tour again!

ガイドさんが陽気で楽しく、ハンバーガーも美味しかった！当日の水位は腰くらいまでありましたが、ビーチバレーも楽しかったし最高でした。ウミガメにもたくさん出会えました。
また参加したいツアーです！

The organizers, both men and women, were very kind, and the entire experience was satisfying. This was my fifth trip to Hawaii, but I discovered new things about Hawaii.

主催者側の方達も男性、女性共とても親切で終始満足できる内容でした。
ハワイ旅行は５回目ですが新しいハワイの発見でした。

It was disappointing because of the cloudy sky. If the weather had been nice, it would have been a point boost, but unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about that. Also, the air conditioning on the shuttle bus was too strong. I had read in reviews that there would be towels on the seats of the return bus, but there weren't any. I thought it might be necessary to announce that large bath towels are essential.

曇り空で残念でした。天気が良ければポイントアップだつたのですが残念。こればかりはどうしようもないですが。あと送迎バスの冷房が効き過ぎでした。帰りのバスの座席にタオルがひいてある、と口コミがあったのねすが、ありませんでした。大きなバスタオルは必須とアナウンスすべきかな、と思いました。

It seems that it rained in the morning, so unfortunately the sandbar was about waist-deep. However, I was able to see sea turtles clearly from the cruise, and snorkeling was also fun! There was a Japanese guide, which made me feel at ease.

朝に雨が降っていたみたいで残念ながらサンドバーは腰あたりの深さでした。
でもクルーズからしっかりウミガメ見ることができたしシュノーケリングも楽しかったです！！
ガイドさんも日本人の方もいて安心でした。

日本人のガイドのかたもいて、英語が苦手でも楽しく過ごせました。
サンドバーはとても美しく、バレーボールをみんなでやり、とても良い思い出ができました。

You can have an amazing time even with small children! The sea was beautiful, truly a paradise. On the day of the tour, we met at the location specified by Veltra, which was accurately shown on Google Maps! It's no surprise that this tour is so popular. They also provide inflatable rings and stand-up paddleboards, which made it so much fun! If you want to take lots of photos, don't forget your waterproof gear. I wanted to capture some sea turtles, but unfortunately, all the footage I got was video... My daughter was super excited, shouting "Turtle, turtle!" so that was the best part!

Since we had our child with us, we didn't go snorkeling, but I hope to try snorkeling once my daughter learns how to swim.

The lunch on the boat, especially the malasadas, was really delicious!

小さな子連れでもめちゃくちゃ楽しめる！
そして、海が綺麗、まさに天国の海でした。
当日はレンタカーで現地集合（ベルトラから案内されていた集合先はGoogle マップで正確に出ました！）
こんなに人気なのも納得のツアーでした。
浮き輪やSUPも貸してもらえるし、楽しい楽しい！
写真をたくさん撮りたい方は防水グッズ忘れずに。
海亀も掲載したいのですが、撮ったのが全部動画だったため残念。。。
娘は「亀さん、亀さん」と大興奮で、楽しんでくれいたようなので何より！

子連れだったのでシュノーケルは行きませんでしたが、娘が泳げるようになったらシュノーケルしたいなー

船上のランチ、マラサダはとっても美味しかったですよ！

Activities chosen centered around my 2.5-year-old daughter
In conclusion, it was an incredibly enjoyable experience!!!
We got to touch dolphins and feed them...
It was a unique experience that we usually can't have, and it seems my child had fun.
The adults who participated together also enjoyed it!
The instructor spoke a little Japanese, which I think made it easier to understand.
Since we booked for two families, it was a great deal to be able to split the photos after the activity, haha. On the other hand, I wanted to film some videos, but once you participate, that's not possible...
Next time, I strongly want to let my child join a longer plan. And for my child to enjoy that, English skills are absolutely necessary. This was a day where I vowed to encourage my child to study English, using this activity as motivation, haha.

2歳半の娘を中心に選んだアクティビティ
結論、非常に満喫の楽しい体験でした！！！
イルカに触ったり、餌をあげたり、、、
普段できない体験ができて、子供も楽しめたようです。
一緒に参加した大人も楽しかった！
インストラクターは少し日本語も話してくれて、わかりやすかったと思います。
1予約2家族で参加したので、参加後の写真を折半して購入できたのはお得でした　笑　　逆に、動画を撮ってあげたいなぁ、と思ってたけど参加しちゃうとそれが叶わないのは仕方なし。。。　
次回は子供だけでもっと長い時間のプランに参加させてあげたいと強く思いました。　そして、それを子供が楽しむためには英語力が絶対に必要。　このアクティビティを糧に英語勉強にも励んでもらえるように頑張ろうと誓った親父の1日でした　笑

I waited quite a while at the pier after getting off the bus. Most of the people were part of a Japanese group, and I was a bit anxious about whether I was waiting in the right place. The boat that had left earlier returned, and we waited for it to be cleaned. So, I think I waited for about an hour in total. The sandbar was beautiful, and the hamburger was amazing. I was able to see a lot of sea turtles while watching them, which was very moving. However, I still can't forget the moment when a sea turtle collided with the boat just as we were about to go snorkeling... The shock was significant given how moved I was. The snorkeling was enjoyable, even though the waves were high. There was no problem going in a swimsuit, but having a change of clothes would make the return bus ride more comfortable. There is storage under the seats on the boat. If I come again, I would like to participate on a nice weather day and check the tide as well.

バスから降りた船乗り場でかなり待ちました。日本人団体がほとんどでしたが、ここで待っているのがあっているのか不安になりながら待っていました。先に出ていた船が戻ってきて、清掃するのを待っていました。なので全部で1時間ほど待った気がします。サンドバーは綺麗でした。ハンバーガーも最高でした。海亀のウォッチングもたくさん見れました。とても感動しました。ただ、シュノーケリングに行くという時に海亀1匹と船が衝突をしたのが今でも忘れられません…。感動していた分心への衝撃が大きかったです。シュノーケリングは波が高かったですが楽しめました。水着でいって問題はなかったですが、着替えがある方が帰りのバスは落ち着くと思います。船の座席の下に荷物入れはあります。また来ることがあれば、天候の良い日に、そして潮の満ち引きも確認して、参加したいです。

I made a reservation from Japan and participated in the trip on the fifth day of my Hawaii vacation. I was relieved that the bus driver was also Japanese. However, as we got closer to the location, the weather became increasingly ominous, and by the time we arrived at the sandbar, it was pouring rain... The rain continued until just before we were about to leave, and by the time we finally saw some clear skies, it was already time to go... I was a bit happy to see a rainbow at the end. I wasn't confident about snorkeling, but when I tried it, I surprisingly enjoyed it! I even spotted a few sea turtles!! The food was delicious!

日本から予約して、ハワイ旅行5日目に参加しました。バスの運転手さんも日本の方で安心しました。ただ、天気が現地に近くなる程雲行き怪しくなり、サンドバーに着く頃には土砂降りに…そして、帰る間際まで雨が降り続き晴れ間が見えた頃には帰る時間に…最後は虹が見えたのは少し嬉しかったです。シュノーケリングは自信がなかったのですが、挑戦してみたら意外にも楽しめました！ウミガメもちらほら見えました！！
ご飯は、美味しくいただけました！

I went with a friend.
This was the cheapest option with transportation included.
There were a lot of slides, and it was fun; it was nice that it wasn't crowded like in Japan.
However, the lazy river wasn't operating, and the slides take turns being closed, so if the timing isn't right, you can't ride them.
It's nice that the lifeguards are relaxed, allowing you to take videos with your smartphone while riding.
I would like to use this place again.

友人と2人で行きました。
送迎付きだとこちらが最安値でした。
スライダーが沢山あって楽しかったし日本みたいに混んでなくて良かったです。
ただ、流れるプールがやってなかったのと、スライダーが順番に休止するのでタイミングが合わないと乗れません。
監視員が緩いのでスマホで動画撮りながら乗れるのはいいです。
また利用したいと思います。

I reserved VIP seats for myself, my 3-year-old child, and my parents. I thought the price for the child was high, but I was surprised that the meals for both the child and the adults were exactly the same. Next time, I would like to see a buffet option as well.

主人、子(3歳)、両親とVIP席を予約しました。子供の料金にしては、高いと思いましたが、子供と大人の料理が全く一緒だったので、驚きました。次はブュッフェでも、いいのでまた見たいと思いました。

It was an experience with professional hospitality. When I jumped off the large boat, I was excited to see dolphins and turtles swimming nearby and along the seabed. For snacks, we were served juicy beef patties in hamburgers, pineapple, snacks, and lemonade. I usually don't get seasick, but I felt a bit uneasy, so I didn't eat and took it back with me (there were some people who got sick). There was also a photographer on site who took pictures for us, which were available for purchase. I was a little anxious about snorkeling for the first time, but I had no worries and enjoyed it. I'm glad I participated and I recommend it.

プロのおもてなしをうけた体験でした　大きい船から飛び降りるとイルカも亀も近くや海底を泳ぐのが見えて興奮しました　肉肉しいパテのハンバーガーとパイナップルとスナック菓子、レモネードが軽食で出ました　いつも酔わないのですが　なんか　嫌な感じがしたので食べずに持ち帰りました（酔っていた人もいました）カメラマンも常駐していたので撮ってくれます　売ってます　初めてのシュノーケルで少し不安でしたが　何も心配はなく楽しめました　参加して良かったです　おススメします　

It was more thrilling and scary than water slides in Japan, but it was incredibly fun! Since the water pressure is strong, it might be better to wear sandals that won't slip off rather than flip-flops (I wore flip-flops and had to hold them in my hands or leave them at the entrance when sliding). It's recommended because both small children and adults can enjoy it, and there are no lines at all!

日本のウォータースライダーよりも迫力があって、怖かったですが最高に楽しかったです！
水の勢いがあるので、ビーチサンダルよりも、脱げないタイプのサンダルの方がいいかも(私はビーチサンダルを履いていってしまったので、滑るときには手にかかるか入り口に置いていきました)
小さいお子さんから大人まで遊べて、全然並ばないので、オススメです！

The attention and hospitality from the captain and crew were outstanding! They spoke Japanese, and their explanations were both interesting and easy to understand, allowing us to participate with peace of mind. The crew offered to take our pictures, which made us very happy since we were traveling as a couple. We were able to see sea turtles multiple times. My friend, who couldn't participate in snorkeling, was offered alternatives like stand-up paddleboarding and a short cruise, making it a very satisfying tour for both of us. Even during the farewell, they waved goodbye, and on the bus ride back, we heard others saying, "The hospitality is just amazing." I'm really glad we participated.

キャプテン、クルー皆さんの気配り、おもてなしが最高でした！日本語okで、説明も面白くわかりやすく、安心して参加できました。クルーの皆さんが「写真を撮ってあげる！」と声をかけてくださり、二人旅行だった私たちはとても嬉しかったです。ウミガメも何度も見られました。一緒に参加した友人は、シュノーケリングに参加できませんでしたがその代わりにSUPや短時間クルーズに声をかけていただき、お互いに大満足のツアーでした。お見送りも最後まで、手を振って、帰りのバスでは周りの皆さんからも「おもてなしが素晴らしすぎる」と声が聞こえてきました。本当に参加してよかったです。

This is my second time participating, and since the last tour was in the early morning, there were fewer people, and I felt like I could see the sea turtles and fish up close. This time, I could see the sea turtles from a distance, but they didn't come close. It's a shame that the early morning tours are only available until mid-September.

２回目の参加なのですが、前回早朝のツアーだったので人数も少なく、ウミガメも魚も近くで見れた気がします。今回はウミガメは遠くから見えましたが近くまでは来ませんでした。早朝のツアーが９月半ばまでしかないのが残念でした。

After a relaxing time at the beach, my daughter and I joined in, dressed up just a little. (laughs) The dinner was delicious. There was absolutely no stiffness at all. However, I thought it might be a bit disappointing for repeat visitors that there hasn't been any change in the menu for a long time. Also, while it's understandable if the place is full, I would appreciate it if the spacing between tables could be adjusted a bit when there is room available. As for the show, all the performers were wonderful. Presley had a friendly vibe. And above all, the beautiful smiles of the hula dancers, like flowers, always make me feel how amazing it is to come to Hawaii. Michael, who was one of the highlights, sounded just like him from the very first note, and I enjoyed listening nostalgically. The fire dance that appeared in the second half was also full of excitement, making it a very enjoyable time.

ビーチでのんびりとした後、娘と二人で参加しました、ほんの少しオシャレをして。(笑)
ディナーも、美味しく頂きました。堅苦しさなど全くありません。ただ、長い間、全くメニューに変化がないと言うことは、リピーターには少し残念なことなのでは？と思ったりしました。又、満席ならば仕方ありませんが、席に余裕がある場合は、臨機応変に、お隣とのテーブルの間隔を少し広げて頂ければ、有り難いなと感じました。ショーについては、演者の皆さん素敵でした。気さくな感じのプレスリー。そして、何より、フラの方達の花のような美しい笑みは、ハワイに来る度に、素晴らしいなぁと感じています 。
一番の楽しみでもあったマイケルも、第一声からソックリだったので、懐かしく聴き入りました。後半に登場するファイアーダンスも迫力満点で、とても楽しい時間になりました。

I participated in late November.

I think there are seasonal issues, but the waves were strong and the current was fast, causing many people to get seasick.

I saw that the boat is new and large, which supposedly makes it less shaky, but don't get your hopes up. The boat rocked, and after going into the rough sea with waves and strong currents two or three times, it really drained my energy and made me more prone to seasickness! For those participating, if you determine that the current is strong, I think it's better to just float and look down rather than trying to swim. Even if you're confident in your swimming skills, it's not just about that. Please be careful not to overestimate your abilities.

I was able to see dolphins both on the boat and in the water, but that's purely a matter of luck. I've seen promotional photos where many dolphins come close, but you shouldn't expect that. I think many people only catch a glimpse of them from a distance.

If you're just looking to see dolphins, there are other places where you can see and interact with them. You can also go snorkeling in beautiful, calm waters elsewhere. Unless you really want to see wild dolphins, I wouldn't particularly recommend this experience.

11月下旬に参加。

時期的な問題もあると思うが波があり潮の流れも早く、
多くの方が船酔いしていました。

船が新しく大きいから揺れにくいというのを見たけど
期待してはいけません。
船上で揺れた上、波があり潮がキツイ海に2度、3度入るとかなりの体力を消耗し、酔いやすくなります！
参加される方は、潮がキツイと判断したらただ浮いて下を見て浮いてるくらいに留めておいた方がいいかと思います。
泳ぎには自信があってもそういう問題ではないのだなと感じました。とにかく過信しないようにして下さい。

船上でも海中でもイルカを見れましたがこればかりは運です。プロモーションで多くのイルカが近くに寄ってきている写真を見ますがこれは期待してはいけません。かなり遠くで一瞬見れただけという人も多いと思います。

イルカだけなら他にも見れますし、触れ合える場所もあります。綺麗で穏やかな海でシュノーケリングも他で出来ます。
野生のイルカをとにかく見たい！という方以外には特にオススメするものでもないかなあ

I participated with my family of three (my wife, our fifth-grade son, and myself) during the flying stone holiday in October. In the past, I had gone on a company trip to Guam and watched a luau at a certain domestic place, and I wanted to show my family that experience, especially since it included a meal.

◇ Good Points
- About half of the participants were Japanese, which allowed us to somewhat feel like we were abroad in Hawaii.

◇ Disappointing Points
- The show’s production was too tailored to American tastes, making it hard to feel the essence of Hawaii.
- The food was also very American.
* I was expecting luau dishes (like roasted pig), but...
- I opted for the economy course to save money, but the difference in service compared to the higher-tier course was too stark (though this might be due to the price difference).
* In the higher-tier course, seats are closer to the front, and the seating and buffet meal guidance are prioritized. Additionally, leis are given to everyone, making the visual difference between us common folks and others painfully clear and causing unnecessary feelings of inferiority.

◇ Overall Impression
I found the production very disappointing, and the fire dance show I saw at the certain domestic place might have been more impressive. I thought I was paying a decent amount for Hawaii, but I only got one welcome Mai Tai, and I regretted that I would have been better off having a steak outside. Well, my wife and son were happy, so I guess that’s okay...

◇ Additional Note
By the way, there is a bar where you can buy drinks with cash if you want, so parents who enjoy alcohol can rest assured.

１０月の飛石連休の中で家族三人（嫁＋小五息子＋自分）と参加しました
過去、自分だけ社員旅行で行ったグアムと○ワイ○ンズ（某国内）でルアウを観ていて、家族にも見せたいという思いと食事付きという内容により参加しました。

◇良かったところ
・ハワイにしては日本人の参加者が半分位で外国に来た気分が多少味わえました。

◇残念なところ
・ショーの演出がアメリカ人好みの演出すぎてあまりハワイを感じられなかった。
・食事もアメリカン
　※ルアウ料理（子豚ちゃんの丸焼き？など）を期待していたのに・・・
・値段をケチってエコノミーコースを申し込んだのですが、上のコースとのサービスの差が激しすぎる（これは値段の差なのでしょうがないかも）
　※上級コースだと席が前の方というのもあるけど、席への案内も食事（ブュッフェ式）の案内も先。さらにレイが全員にプレゼントされ、我々庶民との差がビジュアル的に一目瞭然で余計な劣等感を感じてしまう。

◇総評
自分としては演出がとても残念だったし、ファイヤーダンスなどは寧ろ「○ワイ○ンズ（某国内）」でみたショーの方が迫力があったかも。
ハワイでもそこそこの値段を払ったつもりなのに、酒 もウェルカムマイタイの一杯だけで、普通に外でステーキでも食べた方が良かったと後悔しています。
まぁ、嫁と小五の息子は喜んでいたからまぁ良いか・・・

◇補足
ちなみに、お酒はバーがあって飲みたければ現金払いでも買えるのでお酒好きのお父さんお母さんはご安心ください。

The shuttle service was excellent, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese, so I felt安心して楽しめました until the end. The waves were so big that I was surprised by the rocking during the meal while we were docked. Several people were feeling seasick, so I think it's best to be prepared if you're going to board.

送迎もバッチリで、日本語が話せるスタッフもいて最後まで安心して楽しめました。
波があまりに大きく、停泊中の食事の最中
から最後まで、揺れに驚かさせれました
何人も酔っている方がいらっしゃったので
覚悟して乗船された方が良いと思います

I had made a reservation for four people in the most expensive area, but when we arrived, there were no available seats for four. We ended up having to ask other guests who were already seated to move, creating a cramped seating arrangement. The location of our seats was only about a meter away from the regular seating area, and it was hardly different from the regular seats. In fact, the regular seats were more spacious and comfortable, which made for a very disappointing situation.

一番高額なエリアの席を事前に4名で予約をしていたのに、行ってみたら4名の席の空きがなく、既に着席している他のお客さんに移動をしてもらって詰め詰めの席をつくる始末。席の場所も、普通の席のエリアと1メートル程の通路を挟んだだけの位置で、普通の席とたいして変わらず、むしろ普通の席の方がゆったり座れるているという最悪の状況でした。

I was worried about getting seasick since I get motion sickness on airplanes, but after taking some motion sickness medication, I didn't feel sick at all! The captain's driving was amazing! During snorkeling, I saw a lot of fish, and a sea turtle even rushed towards us. I was told not to touch it, but it came over to me, so I couldn't help it, haha. The BBQ meat during the meal was very delicious. It's a shame I couldn't eat much because I was worried about seasickness. The staff's conversations were entertaining, and they even took a two-shot photo with us, making it a very fulfilling tour.

飛行機でも酔う程なので、船酔いが心配でしたが、酔い止めをのんだら全く船酔いしませんでした！船長さんの運転が素晴らしい！！シュノーケリングでは、魚もたくさん見れたし、海ガメがこちらに突進してきてきました。触ってはいけないと言われてたけど、海ガメから触りに来たから仕方ない笑　食事ではBBQのお肉がとても美味しかったです。船酔いが心配だったのであまり食べられなかったのが残念。スタッフの皆さんのトークが面白いし、ツーショット写メも撮ってくれてとても充実したツアーでした。

Excursion was made online but had to be changed by email to the next day after the planned event. It all happened seamlessly! Thank you. We will use you again!

We made online reservations for the next day to Hanauma Bay snorkeling but had to change the reservation day and time and within a few short hours they change was made through email and the trip and driver were very nice!

I was helped when they called me at the hotel 30 minutes before the meeting time. Also, the Japanese guide, Karen, and the other staff were very energetic, and I was able to participate without getting seasick.

The boat was new and had a slide, which made it really fun. I felt a thrill when sliding down the slide, haha.

I was able to see dolphins three times. The final dance by the staff was very uplifting, and it was so much fun to dance along with them.

At the end, they even put stickers on my favorite parts of my body. ^_^

集合時間30分前にホテルに電話をくれたので助かりました。また、日本人ガイドのカレンさんや他のスタッフの方もとても元気で船酔いもせず参加できました。

船も新らしくて滑り台も付いていたのでとっても楽しかったです。滑り台から滑るときはドキドキしました笑笑

いるかも3回見ることができました。スタッフろ方最後の踊りはとってもまた元気が出る踊りで一緒に踊れてとっても楽しかったです。

最後に体の好きなところに、シールも貼ってくれました^_^

This is my third time, and I was able to see sea turtles. I think there’s no better tour than this, so I definitely recommend participating. I suggest making an early reservation.

3回目ですが、ウミガメにあえました。こんなに良ツアーは
ないから絶対参加した方がいいと思います
早めの予約をお薦めします

We chose a VIP seat with meals for our honeymoon! When we arrived at the venue, we enjoyed welcome drinks and snacks, which was a lot of fun! The meal included a large lobster, meat dishes, fish dishes, bread, and dessert, leaving us completely satisfied! I didn't know how to eat the lobster, but the staff kindly taught me!

Once the show started, there were so many captivating moments, especially Michael and the fire show, which were impressive! At the end, we even got to take photos, making it the best trip to Hawaii ever!!

新婚旅行ということで、食事付きのVIP席にしました！会場に着いたらウェルカムドリンクを飲みながらおつまみも頂けて楽しめました！食事は大きなロブスター、お肉料理にお魚料理、パンとデザートがあり、お腹いっぱいで満足です！ロブスターは食べ方が分からなかったのですが、スタッフの方が親切に教えてくれました！笑笑
ショーが始まったら目の離せない場面ばかりで、特にマイケルとファイヤーショーが印象的です！ラストは写真まで撮って頂き、最高のハワイ旅行になりました！！
