Oahu
The ocean in Hawaii is beautiful, but I was really impressed here. Walking in the water is amazing...!
Also, the staff on the boat were fluent in Japanese and very friendly, which kept us laughing the whole time!
We encountered a turtle along the way that was quite accustomed to people and surprised us by coming close! However, it's important to note that touching the turtle is against the law, so be careful.
If you have a camera that can be used underwater, like a GoPro, definitely bring it along.
It was a very enjoyable tour!
ハワイの海自体綺麗ですが、ここはかなり感動しました。海の中を歩けるってすごい…！
また、船の中では日本語が堪能で気さくなスタッフが盛り上げてくれるので、終始笑いっぱなしでした！
途中遭遇した亀がかなり人慣れしており、自ら近づいてきて驚きました！
ただし、亀に触れることは法律違反になりますので、注意が必要です。
goproなど水中でも使えるカメラをお持ちの方は是非持参してください。
非常に楽しいツアーでした！
Aloha! I'm so happy to hear that you were able to spend your time with lots of smiles in the heavenly sea. Thank you very much for joining us. The recommended GoPro is available for rental on the day of the tour! Everyone, please take lots of wonderful photos and videos.

I visited again because it was so delicious the last time I came at night.
The lunch course was filling and tasty.
They had a Japanese menu prepared, and they showed it to me when I sat down, but as soon as the dishes started coming out, they quickly took it away. When I requested it again, they brought it back.
There were two types of pasta, so I shared them with my friend.
Since I settled the bill here, it was easy to leave as well.
I would like to use this place again.
前回夜訪問してとても美味しかったので訪問。
ランチコースでどれもボリュームもあり美味しく頂きました。
日本語メニューが用意してあって、席に座るときにみせてくれたのに
いざ料理がはじまるとさっさとさげられてしまい。
もう一度リクエストしたらもってきてくれました。
パスタも2種あったので、友人とシェアしました。
お会計もこちらで済んでいるので、帰りも楽ちん。
また利用したいと思います。

The weather was nice, but at the beginning, the water temperature was low and it felt a bit chilly. The water level was about halfway up my shins, but by the end, it was up to my chest, so it really depends on the timing. During snorkeling, I wore a life jacket, so even though I couldn't swim, I was able to float properly. However, the area where we could see the coral suddenly became deep, and I got scared and decided to stop. They quickly came to help me with a boat, which was reassuring. The food was delicious, and I was satisfied that I could play in the sea during my free time.
天気はよかったですが、始まってしばらくは水温が低く、肌寒かったです。 水位はスネ半分くらいでしたが、終わる頃には胸の辺りまであり、本当にタイミングによるようです。 シュノーケリングではライフジャケット着用で、泳げなくてもちゃんと浮いていられましたが、珊瑚を見るエリアは急に深くなり、怖くて途中棄権しました。すぐにボートで助けてくれるので安心です。 食事も美味しく、自由時間に海で遊ぶことができ、満足でした。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. The snorkeling point suddenly transitions from the sandbar to deep waters. Some guests, like Manami, may feel a little nervous. Next time, please muster a bit of courage and enjoy it a little more. We look forward to seeing you again!
アロハ！ キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加ありがとうございます。

次回はちょっぴりだけ勇気を出してもう少し楽しんでみてくださいね。お待ちしています。

I was able to see a sea turtle while on the boat! When we arrived at Angel's Beach, the scenery was very beautiful. The hamburger for lunch was cooked right in front of us and was delicious✨. During snorkeling, we had a great time seeing fish up close.
I accidentally dropped my GoPro while snorkeling and thought we wouldn't be able to retrieve it. However, two days later, the travel company we participated with contacted our hotel and delivered the GoPro to us. I was truly surprised and grateful. It was a wonderful experience and a great memory. Thank you very much!!

The personal attention that you receive during the dinner and pre-show entertainment made you feel so special. The staff remembered your name and details about you — such as where your from, the drinks you like, etc was above and beyond. The food was delicious. My daughter is a vegetarian and they went out of their way to create a vegetarian plate just for her!! The food options on the buffet were all delicious. Both the prime rib and the pork melted in your mouth.
Once we were seated in the theater the videos enriched the show. One of my favorite parts was how the hula girls appearance changed throughout the decades. Elvis was great and Michael Jackson was very impressive. It was more like a musical show than I expected. It was a great surprise. Best night I had in Waikiki ,,,
It was very cold because it was raining. I could put my luggage under the seat, so it didn't get wet, but my feet were bare and since we were on the sea, it was colder than I expected. It's a good idea to bring a bath towel or something when the weather is uncertain. However, the scenery was amazing. I was able to see dolphins too.
雨が降っていたのでとても寒かったです。荷物は座席の下に入れることができるので雨に濡れることはなかったのですが、足ははだしだし海の上なので思った以上に寒かったです。天気があやしいときはバスタオルなど持っていたほうがいいです。しかし、景色は最高でした。イルカも見ることができました。

Frank was great! He totally took care of us. Suggestion to get the package with the food. It was good food and no hassel!
Our driver and tour guide, Lola, made this tour such a great experience. Her local knowledge, historic information and passion for Hawaii made the tour for us. Unfortunately the Arizona memorial was off limits for us due to issues but we were still able to drive by and pay our respects.
Food was wonderful and show was even better! VELTRA supplied all details before hand making it an easy going night for us! Also great if planning a family night and service was amazing
Aloha JV,
Thank you for being our guest!
This was such an incredible experience. Within minutes of leaving the harbour, there were dolphins next to our boat. We got in the water, and the pods of dolphins were swimming around us the whole time we were in there. When we moved to the snorkeling spot, again there were dolphins swimming straight under us and turtles swimming along the surface. They had great water activities at the snorkel spot, such is the SUP and trampoline. The staff were having so much fun, which made all the guests have heaps of fun. If you needed anything, they were happy to help. This was a highlight of our whole trip. Would highly recommend.
Aloha Talisha,
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! It's so good to hear that this was the best part of your vacation. That's when we know we hit the target! Mahalo for sharing your experience, and we hope to have you back on board again some day!
There were about 50 people, but it was comfortable. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and it was nice to be able to get on the bus while still wet on the way back. However, the bus rides to and from the location are extremely cold, so please make sure to bring a jacket!
50人ほどの人数でしたが、快適でした。

When we arrived, it was pouring rain, but gradually the weather improved. With the staff's enthusiasm, we had a great time. Due to the season and time of day, we couldn't go to the sand area, but we really enjoyed taking photos in the shallow water. We even saw sea turtles!
到着したときは横殴りの雨が降っていたのですが、徐々に好天になり、
さらにスタッフの方の盛り上げもあって、とても楽しかったです。
時期や時間帯もあるのか砂場とはいきませんでしたが、浅瀬で写真を撮ったりととても楽しかったです。

This time I participated with my 76-year-old mother. Since she can't swim, she gave up on snorkeling, but we were able to see sea turtles and walk around... and she was very satisfied because she could float using a floatation device. The waves in Waikiki were really strong, so I was scared and couldn't swim, so it was truly a good thing. Both breakfast and the BBQ were delicious, and all the tour guides were cheerful and attentive, truly wonderful people. I definitely want to go again when I visit Hawaii!
今回は76歳の母と参加しました。母は泳げないので、シュノーケリングは諦めましたが、ウミガメも見れたし、歩けたし…浮き輪を使って泳げたので大満足でした。ワイキキの海は波がすごいので怖くて泳げなかったので本当に良かったです。朝食もBBQも美味しかったし添乗員さんたちが皆さん明るくて、よく気の付く良い方ばかりでした。又ハワイに行く時は是非行きたいです！
Aloha! Thank you for coming to the heavenly sea with your mother. This tour is open to participants of all ages. We hope everyone will come and enjoy it together with their families!
アロハ！お母様と天国の海にお越しいただいたんですね。ありがとうございます。
このツアーは年齢を問わずご参加頂いております。皆さんもぜひご家族一緒に遊びにいらしくてくださいね。

Perhaps because it was cloudy, the sea wasn't very beautiful. I checked the low tide times and made a reservation for that period, but it wasn't the sandbar I had imagined. The snorkeling felt more like just swimming, and it didn't have the enjoyment of corals and fish. If the weather had been better, my impression might have been different.
曇りだったためか、海はあまりキレイではありませんでした。干潮時を調べて、その時間帯を予約しましたが、イメージしていたサンドバーではありませんでした。シュノーケリングもただ泳ぐ感じで、サンゴや魚を楽しむという感じではありませんでした。
お天気さえ良ければ、この感想は変わっていたのかもしれません。
Translated by OpenAI
At the first sandbar, it was beautiful, and I had plenty of time, so I was very satisfied!
I could only see the sea turtles small and far away.
最初のサンドバーでは、きれいで時間も余裕がありとっても満足でした！
ウミガメは、遠くの方に小さくしか見られませんでした。

I had a great time seeing dolphins and turtles with the energetic crew early in the morning! I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication, as you might experience seasickness. I ended up getting seasick and couldn't enjoy the slides in the second half, but my wife had a blast with the other participants. :) There are only the boat or the restroom to change back, so it might be a good idea to be prepared to head back wet.
朝早くからテンションあげあげなクルー達と楽しくイルカ、亀をみれました！
船酔い、波酔いはあると思うので酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいいです。
自分は波酔いしてしまって後半滑り台とかで遊べなかったですが妻が他の参加者の方と謳歌していました :)
帰りの着替えする場所は船上かトイレしかないので濡れたまま帰る準備はあっても良いかもです。
Thank you for your comment. I'm very sorry to hear that you experienced seasickness, but I'm glad to know that you enjoyed your time with the dolphins and the crew. When you come back to Hawaii, please take some motion sickness medication and give it another try. We look forward to seeing you again!
書き込みありがとうございます。船酔いされてしまったようでとても残念ですが、イルカやクルー達との時間を楽しく過ごしていただけたようでよかったです。またハワイにお越しの際は、酔い止めを飲んでリベンジしてください。お待ちしております！

I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance. Also, since they can only be seen from a distance, I couldn't tell what they were. Apparently, the tail was visible. It seems like having a telephoto lens or binoculars would be a good idea. It might not be an activity you can fit into a short number of days.
酔い止めの薬の事前服用をオススメします。
あと遠くにしか見れないので小さくて私は分かりませんでした。
尻尾が見えたらしいですが。
望遠レンズ、望遠鏡もあったほうが良さそうです。
少ない日数の中で入れるアクティビティじゃないかも。

I was immediately shown to my seat when I presented the voucher. For the main pasta, I could choose from two options and I selected the Bolognese. It was very delicious.
One disappointment was that when the soup arrived, there was no spoon at hand, and I received the spoon only after finishing it, so it would have been better if it had been placed from the start. The service was in Japanese, and the dessert at the end was also very delicious and soothing. I want to go again.
バウチャーを見せたらすぐに席に案内されました。メインのパスタは二種類から選べたのでボロネーゼを選択。とても美味しかったです。
一つ残念だったのは、スープが出てきたときにスプーンが手元になく、飲み終えてからスプーンをくださったので、最初から置いてもらえたらよかったです。日本語での接客でしたし、最後のデザートまでもとても美味しくて癒されました。また行きたいです。

Check-in was at 2:30 PM, so I arrived a bit early, around 2:20 PM, and checked in right at 2:30 PM. However, it felt quite relaxed, as it seemed you could check in anytime between 2:30 PM and 2:45 PM.
The sunset cruise was fully booked a few days in advance, but it seemed like the daytime cruise was okay for same-day reservations. Those who were boarding on the day had paper wristbands on their arms, and there were quite a few of them.
There are restrooms available. The drinks for the daytime cruise were not all-you-can-drink, as stated on Veltra, so I went with that expectation. In reality, the bartender explained things in long sentences in English, which I didn't quite understand, but I heard him mention prices like "beer ◯ dollars" and "Mai Tai ◯ dollars." However, everyone seemed to just tell the bartender what drinks they wanted, giving it a feel of all-you-can-drink.
Tips were being thrown in with $10 and $20 bills. I guess it was implied that while the beer was ◯ dollars, you should tip on top of that? I thought it would be nice if they provided a paper explanation in Japanese at check-in regarding that system. Regulars were already ordering drinks and starting to drink before the explanation.
On the boat, people who didn’t know each other were chatting and having a good time, but if you can’t speak English, you might feel a bit isolated. It seems like it would be more fun with a larger group.
チェックインが14:30なので早めに14:20くらいに着いて14:30ぴったりにチェックインしましだが、14:30〜14:45くらいまでにチェックインすれば良いような緩い感じでした。
サンセットの方は予約で数日前から埋まってましたが、昼の部は当日でもOKのようです。当日受付に言って乗る人たちは腕に紙のリングを巻いてましたが、かなりいました。
トイレあります。
ドリンクは昼の部は飲み放題ではないとベルトラに書いてあったので、そのつもりで乗りました。
実際はバーテンダーが英語で長文で説明されたので良くわからなかったのですが、ビール◯ドル、マイタイ◯ドルとか読み上げてましたが、みんなバーテンダーに飲みたいドリンクを言って飲み放題感覚でした。
チップは10ドル紙幣や20ドル紙幣がガンガン入れられていました。
「ビール◯ドルだけど、チップで入れてね」ってことだったのでしょうか？
あのシステムは日本語にして受付で紙で配ってくれても良いなと思いました。常連さんは乗った時から（説明前）ドリンクをオーダーして飲み始めてました。
船上は知らない人同士も気さくに話し合い盛り上がっていましたが、英語が話せないとポツンとしてしまいます。大人数で乗った方が盛り上がるでしょうね。

When I first got tickets to the Polynesian Cultural Center, I was a little worried since we would be there all day. Would we find enough to do for 9 hours? Yes, yes we could, and one day wasn't even enough!
There were so many incredible activities and performances in all of the different villages, but my favorites had to be Samoa and Hawaii. The presenter for Samoa was not hilarious, but so entertaining, and quite the hottie too! :P I knew Hawaii would be great, how could it not be, but I was blown away by their performances.
We also visited Tahiti and New Zealand, but didn't have time for Fiji or Tonga unfortunately. Next visit! The canoe ride, and the canoe pageant were quite fun, and even the IMAX movie which we chose to see as a break from the walking, ended up being very good! You definitely don't want to miss it!
The food at the luau was so tasty, and I had a LOT of poke. So much poke. Like, pretty much all of the poke was in my belly by the end of dinner. And although I loved the show while we ate, the highlight was definitely the evening Breath of Life show. It was so interesting to see hula and other dances put to a story.
The day was long, but so worth it!
My friend and I had such a totally awesome night at Rock-a-Hula, and want to go see it again! We got the VIP dinner show, and it was fantastic. From beginning to end, we were treated like VIPs, and couldn't have asked for better service, food or entertainment.
The cocktail and appetizer reception before the theater doors opened was a great prelude to our evening, and their original mai tais were really yummy too. So many delicious things to nibble on that I had to be careful and not get too full before dinner! Oh and dinner, salad, steak, lobster and dessert...so.... tasty! Plus our server was so attentive and awesome :)
Our VIP seats go us close to the stage so we had an amazing view of the performance, and man was it awesome! Elvis, Michael Jackson and Katy Perry, all on one stage for a seriously rockin' evening. The woman who played Katy Perry was my favorite! Not only did she look and sound exactly like her, but she was the sweetest person too!
The fire knife dance was scary awesome, and the perfect topper to a great night. Perfect option if you just want a fun time in Waikiki!
If you've been to a luau before and want to see another dinner show that isn't exactly a luau, this will probably fit the bill. There's plenty of Hawaiian entertainment and a buffet similar to what you'd find at a luau, but generally speaking this is a more "American" dinner show, like one you'd find in Las Vegas.
The featured stars are Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and HIRIE, a local artist, but there are also a variety of dances, including Polynesian and contemporary choreography. Hirie performed some of her own hits as well as newer songs such as "How Far I'll Go" from the movie Moana!
There's also the hula, Tahitian, and fire knife dancing that you'd normally see at a luau, but there's a good balance of traditional and contemporary. This is an awesome alternative if you've already been to the other luaus in Waikiki.
This was my second time at Chief's Luau and I got say... i love the new location. The new venue is so beautiful. Chief Sielu is the best luau host in Hawaii, he is funny, entertaining and for sure he is what makes this luau so special. The dancers and the musicians are really good and the fire-knife dance is breath taking. The food is delicious and the buffet has a lot of variety. It was a lovely evening and I recommend this luau to everyone, specially families and couples.
I had a blast with Dolphins & You, the cruise was fantastic! The crew was fun, prompt, courteous, engaging and entertaining. We saw a lot of dolphins and they were swimming right next to us. What an amazing feeling it is to be so close to such lovely creatures.
The west side coast is so beautiful, the mountains and the ocean... every where you look you makes you want to take pictures! The snorkel part was also great and for lunch we had a delicious burger.
The boat is so much fun, when they stop on the second snorkel location you also have the chance to play with the water toys, they have water slide stand-up paddle and kayaks.
Even though it might seem like the west coast is far away from Waikiki, it's totally worth the trip. This tour has free pick-up from most of Waikiki hotels and the snorkel spots are much better than the ones in Waikiki. I highly recommend this dolphin cruise to everyone!
Mahalo for your 5-Star review! As we like to say, the West side is the BEST side! We absolutely agree that snorkeling is more beautiful and exciting on the West side of Oahu, and the views of the Waianae Mountain Range make it even more of a 360-degree experience. As you noted, transportation is complementary from 10 pick-up locations in Waikiki and Ko Olina. Thank you for recommending our tour, and we'd love to host you again some time! Please check out our other tours - Nature and You or Island and You - if you're still in the area.
It was my day off and kids were at school so I figured, why not do a "me" just for a day! I invited my friend to join me since she happened to have the same day off. We booked the Morning Cruise at 7:00am since the water is usually warmer and calmer, and we decided to drive ourselves to the harbor. What's good is that there is a restaurant at the harbor where you can buy coffee or breakfast before heading out.
Upon check-in, we were already given our snorkeling equipments, and an option to rent their body suits, which we rented for $10 each. They asked us to sign the liability waiver, and I think' it's cool that they even take your instagram information so they can tag you photos (if you're in it) that they upload at the end of the tour.
The staff and crew are very funny and entertaining! As we were heading out to the ocean, they peformed Polynesian dancing, and playing ukulele. They also performed traditional Hawaiian prayer for our safety. As we were getting closer, we could already see the pod of dolphins, af the signal from the crew members, we jumped to the water and started to swim with these beautiful dolphins!!! I never swam with dolphins in the open water before and this was really exciting!! There were lootsss of them!!
We hopped back on to the boat for our next snorkeling location and that before jumping in the water again, we were given some activity options to take such as stand-up paddle boarding, canoe ride, water slide, and many more!! It was just an awesome experience!!
Their lunch burgers were delicious too which were served as we were headed back to the harbor. It was long day but it was all worth it!!
Oh by the way, make sure to take seasickness pills if you get nauseous easily!
Aloha Ms. Ems,
Thank you so much for your 5-Star Review! We are so great you got some great pictures from your day off. And we appreciate you calling attention to the fact that our tours are open to locals and visitors alike! It's a great way to have a little 'staycation.' We're so glad you enjoyed all aspects of the tour. Mahalo for sharing your experience :).

When I put my face in the sea, I was able to see several dolphins swimming. It felt mysterious, and I was moved by the sight of the blue sea and the dolphins swimming.
In May, the sea was a bit cold, so I was glad I rented a wetsuit (for a fee). During our time, there were many guests from other countries, and the staff were very lively, making it a fun time on the boat. I could especially feel the staff's attitude of wanting the guests to enjoy themselves. It was a wonderful time.
海に顔をつけると、泳ぐイルカを何頭か見ることができました。
見たときは不思議な感覚になり、青い海と泳ぐイルカの姿に感動しました。
５月で海は少し冷たかったので、ウェットスーツ(有料)を借りて正解だったなと思いました。
わたしたちの時は他の国のお客さんが多く、スタッフさん含めとてもノリがよく船の上でも楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

The food and service were great. We had the luau-style buffet dinner and everything was delicious, especially the whole roasted pig. A luau cannot be complete without it! The hula dancers and musicians were also very fun and friendly. The show dancers were so talented too. Especially Elvis, he even went into the audience at one point and interacted with some of the crowd! Adding a local singer to the mix was a nice touch as well. It gave a more authentic feel that you are in Hawaii as she sang along with Elvis and Michael Jackson. The evening show was a wonderful way to end the night. I highly recommend this show if you are looking a lively, entertaining night in Honolulu!
I had a amazing time with Toa Luau, food, drinks & show are great. It's a very family oriented luau and the location is beautiful. The good thing about being far from Waikiki, is that you can skip the crowds from the other shows and get a more personal experience.
I really enjoyed the pre-luau activities, they let us be part of dinner preparation and we learned how to make some traditional Polynesian dishes. They let us peel taro, green banana, they showed us how make flower leis & how to use palm leafs to make headbands, baskets and hats. We played Polynesian games and had the chance to play some musical instruments too. Kids and adults were having so much fun! I believe this is the only luau where you can experience a Kava Cerimony, one of the most iconic cultural traditions in Fiji.
I've been to other luaus before, but this one felt different. I didn't feel as a tourist. The staff makes you feel like you are part of their family and that they are inviting you for a real party at their home, so it made the evening really special.
Another good thing is that it includes admission to Waimea Valley. We arrived earlier and were able to enjoy the botanical garden and of course, swim at the most famous waterfall on Oahu. There are changing rooms available at the park so you can get ready for the luau.
I recommend this luau for everyone who is looking for a real luau experience and wants to learn more about the beautiful Hawaiian & Polynesian culture. Absolutely loved it!
Aloha, and mahalo nui for spending some time to shower us with your kind words. The fact that you remember the key parts of the luau made us all feel that you had the best time and it is our hope that we'd see you again when you come back to Oahu
Hearing from the guide about her experience when she came to Hawaii as a bride, and how she wanted to return to Japan every day, resonated with me deeply, especially knowing that the graves of the first generation are facing Japan. For us, Hawaii is a dream destination, but for Japanese Americans in Hawaii, going to Japan is their dream. They work hard and save money to taste authentic Japanese food and experience Japanese culture. It made me realize that what I take for granted in Japan is not something everyone has access to.
On the boat to the Fern Grotto, there was a live Hawaiian performance, and they sang nostalgic songs in Japanese about longing for home and parents. Although I couldn't understand the fast-paced English commentary, I was happy to see that music is a universal language.
ガイドさんが、ご自分のお嫁に来られた当時のこと、毎日、日本へ帰りたかったと、初代の方々のお墓が日本の方向に建てられていると聞き、どんなにか
帰りたかっただろうと胸に響きました。私達にとって、ハワイは憧れですが
ハワイの日系人は、日本に行くことが、憧れだそうです。そのために一生懸命働いて、貯金して本当の日本食を味わい、日本文化に触れたいとおっしゃっていました。日本に生まれ、当たり前に食べているものが、決して当たり前でないことを、再認識させられました。
シダの洞窟へいく船の中で、ハワイアンを生演奏して下さり、日本語の恋しやふるさと、懐かし父母と歌って下さり、まくしたてるような早口の英語での

The whole experience was being on the sandbar, which was amazing. However the tide was to our waist and it wasn't very sunny so I'd plan better for a low tide. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Don't get excited about the BBQ lunch. It was fine but frozen stacks of burgers.
The highlight of snorkeling was seeing a giant sea Turtle, beyond that the water conditions made it hard to see other fish. And I doubted the sterilization of the snorkel gear.
