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

Das Boot hatte eine schöne Größe. Zuerst sind wir zum Schnorcheln raus gefahren und anschließend weiter. Hier konnten wir uns vorne ins Netz legen und die Wellen und die Sonne genießen. Sehr schön!

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。

Great just don’t bother paying the extra for all you can drink it can be a little bumpy out there

The VIP experience was amazing. As soon as I entered, I was greeted with a chilled, delicious Mai Tai and snacks, which really boosted my excitement! The seating was in the front row, allowing me to enjoy both the meal and the show comfortably from the same spot. The food was generous in portion, with tender meat that was very tasty. The show started with Hawaiian music and was vibrant with various songs and costumes that were a delight to watch! Presley and Michael were both great at singing and dancing, and everyone was laughing out loud. After the show, they happily posed for photos, and I was able to get some great keepsake pictures. The VIP experience was very satisfying. I'm glad I participated.

vipはすごく良かったです。入場してすぐに冷えた美味しいマイタイとおつまみをいただいて、テンションが上がりました！座席は最前列で、食事もショーも同じ席でゆっくりすることができました。お食事もボリュームがあり、お肉が柔らかくてとてもおいしかったです。ショーは ハワイアンからはじまり、様々な曲や衣装で華やかに楽しませてもらいました！プレスリーとマイケルは歌もダンスも上手で面白くてみんな大爆笑でした。ショーが終わって写真撮影にもにこやかに応じていただけて、良い記念写真がとれました。vipは大満足でした。参加して良かったです。

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。

I participated in the hula show this time, and I would like to share my experience. I hope it will be helpful for those considering attending. My wife does hula dancing and has always wanted to go to a dinner show, so when I searched online, I came across the VERTLA page. I was torn between the one at Hilton Hawaiian Village and the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, but I decided on the Royal Hawaiian since it was within walking distance from our hotel. I booked the VIP seats for this dinner show before leaving Japan. I brought a copy of the reservation email from VERTLA.

On the day of the show, we arrived right at the 6:15 PM meeting time and immediately took a photo with Michael Jackson (they come around during dinner to ask if you want to purchase it). We waited in the lobby for about five minutes with a Mai Tai cocktail (there's a non-alcoholic option as well) and snacks (if we had arrived earlier, we could have enjoyed more fruit). After that, we were guided to a table for two. There was a schedule, and according to it, the show was set to start at 8 PM and last about 1 hour and 15 minutes. We enjoyed delicious food (see the menu photos) and drinks while chatting with a newlywed couple sitting next to us, and the time flew by until showtime.

The show featured performances by Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and their collaboration with hula, as well as solo hula and fire dancing. Everything was truly wonderful, and I particularly felt it was worth it for Michael Jackson's dance and the female vocalist's singing ability. The fire dance was also impressive. My wife seemed to want to see more hula. We were very satisfied with our VIP seat reservation, but the people in the second-floor seats who came just to watch the show without dinner were also very enthusiastic. I have attached a few photos for your reference. We are talking about wanting to go to the show at Hilton Hawaiian Village next time.

今回フラショウに参加しましたのでその体験談を書かせていただきます。
参加を検討されている方々の参考になれば幸いです。
私の妻がフラダンスをやっていて一度はディナーショーに行ってみたいと言っていましたのでネット検索した所、VERTLAのページに出会い色々載っている中からヒルトンハワイアンビレッジのものと今回のロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンターとで迷ったのですが宿泊ホテルから歩いて行けるロイヤルハワイアンに決めてこのディナーショウのVIP席を日本出発前に申し込みました。VERTLAからのメールの予約票をコピーして持参。当日の流れを言いますと、18時15分集合時間ちょうどに到着、すぐにマイケルジャクソンと写真撮影（食事中に購入するかどうか聞きに来ます）。
マイタイカクテル（ノンアルもあり）とおつまみでロビーにて5分程待機（もっと早く行けばフルーツ沢山食べられた）。その後案内されて二人用のテーブルへ。スケジュール表がありそれによるとショウは20時から1時間15分程。お隣に居合わせた新婚さんと楽しくおしゃべりしながら美味しい食事（メニューの写真参照）とお酒でそれほど長く感じる事無くショウタイムに。ショウは大まかに言うとエルビスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソン、彼らとフラの共演。フラ単独。ファイヤーダンス。といった感じで実際どれもすばらしく特にマイケルジャクソンのダンスと女性ボーカルの歌唱力には来たかいがあったなと思いました。ファイヤーダンスも迫力がありました。妻はもっとフラが見たかったようですが。今回はVIP席の予約でとても満足でしたが2階席の食事無しのショウだけを見に来た方々もとても盛り上がっていました。何枚か写真を添付しましたので参考にしていただければと思います。次回はヒルトンハワイアンビレッジのショウにも行ってみたいねと二人で話しています。

It’s beautiful just don’t opt for the all you can drink it’s to short of a journey to try and catch a buzz while admiring the views!

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！

It was a bit cloudy, but we were able to go to the sandbar on a very beautiful day! I'm not very good at swimming, but if the person you're going with can swim, I definitely recommend participating in snorkeling! Not only can you see many fish in a mysterious spot with a depth of 10 meters, but a sea turtle also popped up, and I was able to swim with it! The snacks were delicious, and since it was a buffet, I was very satisfied! However, it starts early in the morning, so it does require some stamina. (laughs)

少し曇りでしたが、サンドバーがとてもきれいな日に行けました！私はあまり泳ぎがとくいではありませんが、一緒に行く人が泳げるなら絶対シュノーケリングは参加をお勧めします！水深10mの神秘的な場所で、たくさんの魚を見ることができるだけでなく、ウミガメが顔を出してくれ、一緒に泳ぐこともできました！軽食もおいしく、ビュッフェ形式なので満足度が高かったです！ただ、朝早いのでなかなか体力が必要です。（笑）

We loved it! Show was so good and the performers were amazing and so attentive. Highly recommend!!!

I participated in the afternoon tour.

The sea turtles were friendly with the staff and came close to us, which was very exciting. The sea turtles are so cute!

I wasn't feeling well, so I skipped snorkeling, but in the meantime, I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding and other activities.

If I have the chance, I would like to join the morning tour.

午後のツアーに参加しました。

ウミガメがスタッフさんたちになついていて、近くに寄ってきてくれたので、大変盛り上がりました。
ウミガメかわいい！

少し体調が悪かったので、シュノーケリングはやめておきましたが、
その間にスタンドアップパドルなどが楽しめました。

機会があれば、午前ツアーに参加してみたいです。

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.

海での観光名所なので、満足度も天候に左右されてしまう要素が大きいのですが、クルーの皆さんがとても明るく、終始楽しく過ごすことができました。

This was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii! My wife, who can't swim, managed to snorkel all the way to the end. We got close to a sea turtle and thoroughly enjoyed the Hawaiian waters! I highly recommend it!

今回のハワイ旅行で一番の当たりでした！
泳げない妻が、必死にシュノーケリングで最後まで泳ぎ切りました。
海ガメとも接近でき、ハワイの海を満喫しました‼️
おすすめです❗

We had a great time viewing Oahu and learning about what we were seeing. So glad we hose this

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！

I had an amazing time! The staff were fun and shared a lot of interesting stories, so I was never bored. I laughed a lot! A turtle also came by, and I was able to swim with it. It was incredible! Thank you for taking so many photos as well. The barbecue on the boat was delicious, and I even had seconds. I thought I might get seasick, but since the boat was only moving for about five minutes and then we were just floating around in the sea, I didn't feel sick at all. I couldn't do snorkeling, but I borrowed various things like a bodyboard and stand-up paddleboard and had a great time playing.

すごーく楽しかったです！スタッフの方が楽しい方で、たくさん面白い事を喋ってくれてまったく退屈しませんでした。大笑いでした！亀さんも来てくれて一緒に泳ぐ事ができました。すごい！写真もたくさん撮っていただきありがとうございました(^^)船上のバーベキューも美味しかったです。おかわりもしました。酔うかなと思ったけど、船は5分くらいであとは海でぷかぷか遊んでたのでまったく酔いませんでした。シュノーケルが無理なので、ボディボードやスタンダップパドル等色々貸していただいていっぱい遊びました。

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。

This is my fifth time in Waikiki, and last year, I learned about Rock-a-Hula through a friend's recommendation. My family of four enjoyed the show from the stage-side VIP seats, and I couldn't forget the excitement from that time, so this year, my wife and I came back again.

The VIP dinner, cocktails, and show began with a welcome hula at the VIP entrance, followed by a welcome reception. For dinner, we had lobster with rainbow salad, natural Alaska salmon, and tenderloin beef at the front row seats. For dessert, we enjoyed pineapple delight, and we ordered beer and wine. To finish off, I had Kona blend coffee while my wife had tea, making for a plentiful dinner.

The performances featuring Elvis, Michael Jackson, and the fire show were incredibly impressive, rivaling those in Las Vegas, all taking place at the Royal Hawaiian Center. The show was even more powerful than a year ago, blending rock and Hawaiian music in a thrilling and emotional performance that left us in awe.

After the show, we had the opportunity to take photos with the performers, and we spent a thoroughly satisfying time from entrance to exit. My wife was completely captivated and is eager to return next year. I highly recommend the VIP seats for the dinner, cocktails, and show at Rock-a-Hula, where you can truly feel one with the stage.

今回で5度目のワイキキですが、昨年、知人の薦めで、このロック・ア・フラを知り、ステージサイドVIP席
にて、家族4人、ショーを堪能し、あの時の興奮が忘れられず今年も妻と二人で来てしまいました。
VIPディナー&カクテル&ショーは、VIP専用入り口でのウェルカムフラに始まりウェルカムレセプションへ、

ビーフ、デザートにはパイナップルデライト、ビールにワインもオーダーし、締めは、私はコナブレンドコーヒー、妻は紅茶と盛り沢山のディナーでした。
プレスリーにマイケルジャクソン、ファイヤーショーと本場ラスベガスでなくて、このロイヤルハワイアンセンターで世界レベルの衝撃的エンターテイメントに感動しまくりでした。
1年前のショーよりもさらにパワーアップしたロックンロールとハワイアンを融合させた迫力と感動のパフォーマンスで全身を痺れさせてくれました。
ショー後のお見送り時には、出演者との写真撮影もあり、入り口から出口まで大満足のひと時を過ごせました。
妻などは、すっかり魅了され、又、来年もと意気込んでいます。
ロック・ア・フラは、舞台と一体になれるディナー&カクテル&ショーVIP席がお薦めです。

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。

The show was very good, but...
The buffet style lowered the rating.
The food was not that great.

It's very disappointing.

ショーはとても良かったが…
ビュッフェスタイルが評価を下げた。
たいした料理では無かった。


とても残念です。

I thought I wouldn't need a pool while in Hawaii, but I'm glad I went! Overall, there were no wait times, and I was able to enjoy myself smoothly. The lunch was also better than at nearby restaurants. I want to go again the next time I visit Hawaii.

ハワイに来てまでプールと思っていましたが、行って良かったです！
全体的に待ち時間も無くスムーズに遊べたのと、ランチもその辺のレストランより美味しかったです。
またハワイに行く時は、行きたいです。

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。

First, we waited for the pickup, then we waited to go, and even after we arrived, we waited... It was so difficult to find something to eat that we could enjoy, as there were very few options. Since there were Japanese staff members, I had no worries about the language. The scenery and fireworks were beautiful. The return trip was also quite long...

まず、ピックアップからまち、行くまでも待ち、ついてからも待ち・・・
ご飯も食べれるものを探すのに苦労するくらい食べれるものが少ない。日本人スタッフがいるから言葉の心配はゼロ。景色、花火はきれいにみれた。帰りもまぁ、長かった・・・

We had the most incredible evening - these women are kickass and we couldn't have imagined a better crew!! The drinks were great, the sunset unbelievable and the boat was VERY clean - even the bathrooms were nice and clean. We would definitely do this again when back in Hawaii!

Highly recommend a Hawaiian Mimosa by the way!! Well worth the money for an evening on the water - big enough that it's spacious too. Thank you girls for such a memorable evening!! <3

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！
