Oahu
The week I went to Hawaii, there was a Hawaiian storm, and the weather was very unstable. However, miraculously, the day at the heavenly beach was sunny, and I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea! The staff were all very interesting and kind, and I had a great time. Beach volleyball was fun, and the hamburgers we ate on the boat were delicious ♥ I was very satisfied with the optional tour where I also got to see sea turtles!
私がハワイへ行った週は、
ちょうどハワイアンストームがきていて、
とても天気が不安定でしたが、
天国の海の日は奇跡的に晴れて、
とてもキレイな海を味わうことができました！
スタッフの方もとてもおもしろく良い方ばかりで、
楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ビーチバレーも楽しかったし、船上で食べるハンバーガーも美味しかった♥
ウミガメも見れて大満足のオプショナルツアーでした！

I used a one-day pass. I arrived a little early by rental car. Even when the time came, I couldn't find anyone from Veltra, so I waited for a while. When I asked someone nearby, I was told to present the voucher at the reception, and from there I was able to enter. I thought the deck chairs and floaties would be prepared in advance, but it turned out to be first come, first served, and I felt like I completely missed out.
As for the pool, it was just as the reviews said, with many slides and plenty of lifeguards, so I was able to enjoy myself safely. The wave pool was much deeper and had stronger waves than in Japan, and even adults seemed like they could almost drown. I was a bit anxious about going to a pool while in Hawaii, but unlike in Japan, there weren't long lines for the slides, and I had a great time.
1日パスの利用でした。
レンタカーで時間少し前に到着。
時間になっても、ベルトラの方が見つからず、しばらく待って
近くにいた別の人に聞くと、受付にバウチャー券を出すよう言われ、
そこから入場。デッキチェアーや浮き輪も事前に準備されているのかと
思っていたら、早いもの勝ちなだけで、キープされていたわけではなく、
完全に出遅れた感じでした。
プールの内容は口コミ通り、スライダーも多く、監視員さんも
たくさんおられ、安心して楽しむことができました。
波のプールが日本よりとても深く、激しい波で、大人でも溺れそうでした。
ハワイにきてまでプール、、、、と少し不安でしたが、日本のようにスライダーに
長蛇の列をなすこともなく、とても満喫できました。

We went as a family of four, including two elementary school children.
The water level at the sandbar was just below waist height. Honestly, I was quite disappointed because I had imagined the sand would be more exposed. That said, the weather was nice, and the clear water and white sand were beautiful.
After returning home, I did some research and found that various conditions are needed for the sand to be exposed, so it seems to depend on luck and timing. I feel there should be a bit more communication that it’s not guaranteed the sand will be visible!
The BBQ lunch consisted of hamburgers made with patties grilled on the boat. It might be clearer to call it a BBQ hamburger. There was quite a line, so it took a long time, but that’s understandable. We were able to see 2-3 sea turtles during the sea turtle watch, and the kids were satisfied. It was unfortunate that it started to drizzle during snorkeling, and the water became dim. After getting out of the water, it was so cold that I recommend bringing a change of clothes.
Since the rain intensified, I wonder if we returned to the dock early... We were unsure which bus to take and whether any buses were even coming. There was no one to explain, so we had to ask all the drivers. In the end, we had to wait about 20 minutes for the shuttle bus to arrive. It was quite comical to see everyone wandering around in the light rain without umbrellas. I think everyone would feel more at ease if they could come to pick us up with a bit more time to spare. Therefore, I give it ★★★.
小学生の子供２人を含めた家族４人で行きました。
サンドバーの海面は腰よりちょっと下くらいでした。
砂が顔を出しているイメージだったのでかなりガッカリしたのが正直な感想です。
とはいえ、お天気も良かったので透き通る海面と白い砂は綺麗でした。
帰国してからいろいろ調べましたが砂が顔を出すのはいろいろな条件が必要な様で
まさに運とタイミングみたいですね。
必ず砂面が見えるとは限らない！ということをもう少しアナウンスがあっても良いと感じてます。
ＢＢＱランチは船上で焼いたハンバーグを使ったハンバーガーでした。
ＢＢＱハンバーガーと書いた方がわかりやすいのでは。
行列になっていたのでかなり時間がかかりましたがこれは仕方ないですね。
海ガメウオッチは２～３頭見ることが出来子供たちも満足していました。
シュノーケリングの頃から小雨が降り出し、海面も薄暗くなってしまったのは残念でした。
海から上がった後は震える程寒く、着替えを持参することをお勧めします。
雨も激しくなってきたので早めに岸壁に戻ったのでしょうか…。
どのバスに乗るのか…そもそもバスが来ているのか…
説明してくれる人も居らず、全てのドライバーさんに聞いて周りました。
結局は迎えのバスが来るまで２０分ほど時間がありました。
誰も傘を持っていない中、戸外で小雨に濡れながら全員が右往左往している姿はまさに滑稽でした。
余裕をもってお迎えに来てもらえると皆安心出来ると思います。
よって、★三つです。

This is the only luau I have attended, but I can't imagine one being more enjoyable than this one. The pick-up service was right on time at the scheduled location and the drive over to Sea Life Park was quick considering the time of departure. The pre-dinner activities were fun and I picked up a piece of local artwork from a vendor that has become my favorite Hawaiian collectible. Dinner was very good and I'm still thinking of how yummy the coconut cake was! Chief was very entertaining and the other performers really put their native pride into the show. I would certainly recommend this luau experience!
I wasn't sure what a sandbar was, but I participated anyway. It was a wonderful place. I was able to see a lot of sea turtles, and snorkeling was fun. It felt like I was in an aquarium with so many fish around. The hamburger that was prepared when I got hungry was also delicious.
サンドバーがどんなものかあまりわからず参加。
とても素敵な所でした。
ウミガメもたくさん見ることができたし、シュノーケルも楽しかった。水族館に入ったかのようにお魚いっぱいでした。
お腹がすいたころに用意されたハンバーガーもおいしかったです。

What a great time! Crew was awesome, kind and patient. Tended to everyone's needs to make sure the trip was enjoyable. Thanks to Doug for taking my call (every morning) to see if we would be able to snorkel since the weather wasn't cooperating. Christine from jersey.
The sunset dinner experience was extraordinary. The food was exquisite and our waitress was amazing. Keilani made us feel at home and made sure our experience was superb. In addition, the assistant manager Crystal Tagudin stopped by our table and chat with us for a while to make sure that our expectations were met. I absolutely loved it and look forward to going back next time I'm in Hawaii. Thank you Star of Honolulu staff!!!
Second year in a row we have enjoyed a sail. Service is on point!!!!
We participated as a group of 12 people, including six children (three aged 5 and three elementary school students) and six adults from three families. Our family used this service for the second consecutive year! Due to the large number of participants, we split into two boats: one with mostly Japanese passengers and the other with a mix of foreigners and a few Japanese. Based on the children's request, we boarded the boat with more foreigners. However, there were also Japanese guides, and the announcements were made separately for Japanese and foreigners, with us receiving information in Japanese.
We departed from the hotel at 9:00 AM, and thanks to the good timing of the tides, there were spots at the sandbar where the 5-year-olds could stand, and they had a great time with the floaties. The adults set up a court with poles right there, and we played beach volleyball. During the sea turtle watching, we spotted several turtles, and those who entered the water early encountered a large resting turtle very close to the entry point! It seemed to swim away after some noise, so those who entered later missed it, but those who saw it were lucky. We were able to float and observe the turtle for several minutes right above it! It might be better to prepare for snorkeling early to increase your chances. They also provided free rental vests, fins, and snorkels for the kids, which was convenient.
We brought our own floaties, but there were also several floating tubes available on the boat that we used (the 5-year-old was taken with a floatie, vest, and floating tube to see the sea turtles). During snorkeling, there were areas with a depth of several meters, and since it was all coral, there were no areas where you could stand. The distance from the boat to the coral area where the turtles were was about 10 meters, so as long as the children are not afraid of deep water, they should be fine. There were also many beautiful small fish. I think it would be better to change clothes before getting on the return bus since it can be cold. We brought one rental beach towel for each child from the hotel, which was a good decision. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious! The beer we had on the boat after swimming (additional charge, settled upon disembarking) was also excellent. We used the same tour for two consecutive years, and we were fully satisfied as we could feel the essence of Hawaii!
5-10才までの子ども６人（５才３人小学生３人）、大人６人計３家族１２人のグループで参加しました。小生家族は昨年に続き２年連続の利用です！人数が多かったため日本人ばかりの船と、外国人＋日本人少しの船に別れ、子どものリクエスト！により外人が多い方に乗船しました。といっても、ガイドは日本人の方もいて、途中案内は日本人外人別々に、我々には日本語で行って頂けました。朝9:00ホテル発でしたが潮のタイミングが良く、サンドバーでは５才の子ども達も立つことが出来るような場所もあり、浮き輪で充分楽しめました。大人はその場でポールを立ててコートを作ってくれたので、ビーチバレーで遊びました。ウミガメウオッチでは何匹かのカメを発見、シュノーケリングでは早くに海に入った人が、エントリーポイントすぐ近くにいたかなりでかいお休み中のカメに遭遇！途中で騒がしかったのか泳いで行ってしまい、後から入った人は見れませんでしたが見れた人はラッキーでした。数分間は休んでいるカメの真上でぷかぷか浮きながら観察できました！早めにシュノーケリングの準備をして入った方がチャンスがあるのかも。子供用のベスト、フィン、シュノーケルも無料で貸して頂けたので便利でした。浮き輪も持参しましたが、浮き輪代わりの浮くチューブは何本も船に用意してありそれも利用しました（５才児は浮き輪＋ベスト＋浮くチューブで連れて行きウミガメを見せることができました。シュノーケリングの時は水深数メートルのところもある上、サンゴばかりで立つことが出来るエリアはありません。船からサンゴエリア・ウミガメのいたところまで10mほどでしたので、水と深いのが怖くなければ子どもも大丈夫だと思います。きれいな小さな魚もたくさんいました）。帰りのバスは寒いので着替えてから乗車した方が良いと思います。ホテルのプール用のレンタルバスタオルを子どもの分も１人１枚持参しましたが正解でした。昼食のハンバーガーは美味しかったです！泳ぎ終わった後、船の上で飲んだビール（別料金、下船時に精算）も最高でした。２年続けて同じツアーを利用しましたがハワイらしさを感じることができ、充分満足でした！

I participated in the same tour five years ago, but unfortunately, the weather was bad, so I decided to try again this time. This time, we were blessed with good weather and had a wonderful time! The blue sea, the blue sky, and I was able to see about three sea turtles up close multiple times! I'm glad I went for the revenge tour♪ I recommend participating for anyone going to Hawaii!
5年前にも同じツアーに参加したのですが、運悪く天気が悪かったので今回リベンジしました。
今回は天候にも恵まれ楽しい時間を過ごすことができました！
青い海、青い空、海ガメも３頭くらい、何度も身近で見ることができました！
リベンジしてよかったです♪
ハワイに行かれる方は参加することをオススメします！
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Revenge. This time, you were able to encounter the blue sea, blue sky, and even a lucky sea turtle. I'm really glad to hear that. Please come visit us again when you're in Hawaii! Mahalo!
アロハ！リベンジ参加ありがとうございます。
今回は青い海＆青い空そして幸運のウミガメにも遭遇出来たんですね。本当に良かったです。
またハワイにお越しの際はぜひ！遊びに来て下さいね〜。マハロ〜！！

On August 24, 15 (Monday), we went with three family members using a rental car. We chose Monday because we heard weekends can be crowded, and it was definitely the right choice!! We arrived right at 10:30 when the park opened. After presenting our voucher at the ticket booth and receiving our admission tickets, we were able to enter smoothly. It was almost like having the place to ourselves! We enjoyed all the attractions without any waiting time. However, we did have to wait a bit for the Shaka ride. Both adults and kids had a great time. Every ride was thrilling. We thoroughly enjoyed experiences that you can't have in Japan. Thanks to that, we played until 4:00 PM. Weekdays might be the way to go!!!
15年8/24（月）に、家族3名でレンタカー利用で行きました。週末は混雑するとの事で月曜日にしたのですが大正解でした！！ 10:30開園丁度に到着。チケット売場でバウチャー提出して入場券をもらったらスムーズに入る事が出来ました。殆ど貸切に近い状態でしょうか！どのアトラクションも待ち時間なしで楽しめました。でも、シャカは意外と並びましたがね。大人も子供も楽しめましたよ。どれも絶叫です。日本じゃ味わえない楽しみをジックリ堪能しました。お陰で16:00まで遊びつくしました。平日は狙いかな!!!

I participated with my elementary school children and family. As soon as we arrived, we eagerly challenged ourselves to the slides. I thought the kids might be scared and not ride the big slides, but that worry was unnecessary. The two children kept challenging themselves to various slides multiple times.
For lunch, I thought we would just grab something simple at the food court, and when I placed my order, I was surprised by the American-sized portions after a long time. I couldn't help but exclaim, "What on earth is this...?" After eating, we floated in the lazy river with rented inner tubes. We had a great time as a family.
As for the deck chairs available on-site, they were quite full everywhere. There is a resting area in the middle of the lazy river, and it seemed to be the least crowded spot.
小学生の子供と、家族で参加しました。まず現地に着くと、手当り次第、スライダーに挑戦。子供たち、怖がって大きいスライダーには乗らないかと思っていたけど、不要な心配でした。子供二人だけで、いろんなスライダーに何度も挑戦していました。
お昼は、フードコートで簡単なものですませようと思い、注文したところ、久しぶりのアメリカンサイズにびっくり。思わず、これはいったい、、、と声に出てしまいました。食べたら、レンタル浮き輪で、流れるプールをぷかぷか。家族で存分に遊びました。
現地に用意されているデッキチェアですが、結構どこもいっぱいになっていました。流れるプールの真ん中にも休憩スペースがあるのですが、そこが一番すいている気がしました。

The weather in Kaneohe is very changeable, so it depended on the weather. It would have been more enjoyable if the sunny weather had lasted longer, but it got cold when it was cloudy... However, I was glad to see the clear ocean and the honu (sea turtles).
カネオヘの天気はすごく変わりやすいので天気次第でした。
晴れがずっと続いたらもっと楽しかったんですが、曇ると寒い…
でも、澄んだ海やホヌが見れたので、よかったです。

This awesome sailing experience was one of a kind. There are many catamarans on Waikiki Beach, but this one stands out. From the colorful sails, to the attentive and pleasant crew, this is a seriously great experience! Make sure you bring cash if you want anything to drink!
とても良いです。

I attended a luau show. Since I had made a reservation here, the process was smooth. The show itself was average, and the food was also average at the buffet. I think it's a good option to reserve with peace of mind and see it at least once.
ルアウショーを見てきました。
こちらで予約していたので、手続きはスムーズでした。
ショー自体は普通、食べ物もビュッフェで普通でした。
安心して予約して、一度見るにはいいのかなと思います。

Blue Hawaiian made it a truly perfect addition to our holiday with their professionalism, knowledgeable staff and top-service. The little extras made the difference such as the ability to buy the video immediately after the flight for a very reasonable $40. A great first-time helicopter experience for us and hopefully not the last one!
It was a great excursion I will recommend to everyone , I will go again
As someone who grew up on Oahu, I'm skeptical of all the overhyped promises to tourist, but this trip really delivered. I tooky husband and an out of town guest and not only did we see multiple honu, the crew was just super. They were extra helpful with newbies to snorkeling and made everyone feel very welcome.
You can rent a safety box at the rental shop, so you can go to the beach hands-free. We took out pizza and had lunch on the beach. I heard there’s also BBQ on weekdays.
レンタルショップでセーフティボックスが借りられるので手ぶらでビーチに行けます。ピザをテイクアウトして海岸でランチしました。平日はBBQもあるそうです。

My kids and I found it to be a fun and learning experience. To learn about all the different Polynesian people in that kind of setting was great. The food and the show was wonderful.
Amazing service! The transportation serbice providers were always on time. They call you a day before to remind you of your reservation.
There was so much to see with a tour of the Arizona memorial, the museum and then mighty mo. The tour company was amazing with transportation and organization. I would book it again!
Michael Jackson and others were incredibly fun, and I seriously want to see a real show in Las Vegas or New York‼️ A high-scoring show!
マイケルジャクソンなど大変にたのしくて、ラスベガスかNYで本場のショーを本気で見たくなりました‼️
高得点ショー

I've lived in Hawaii for about 8 years and I thought I've seen everything. Just getting to ride a helicopter was already an amazing experience. Getting to ride it over Hawaii made it even better. I felt like a tourist seeing Hawaii for the first time. I'm also a big fan of Jurasic World and I kinda freaked when I found out they used Blue Hawaii Helicopter for the movie. I would recomend this tour to anyone; even locals.
My daughter (5 years old) is quite timid and could only go to the baby pool, but she was very happy with the various types of slides available.
It was a crowded day, so there were no free rental floaties for the wave pool. (I was dissatisfied that bringing our own floaties was prohibited.)
Without a life jacket, we weren't even allowed into the wave pool area, and when I tried to borrow one, there was a long line, so I gave up.
Also, since we didn't opt for a meal plan, it took about 20 to 30 minutes to place an order at the concession stand around 11:30, and it took about 15 minutes to receive the items.
I regretted not choosing the lunch package.
うちの娘（５歳）は怖がりで赤ちゃんプールしか行けませんでしたが
滑り台などいろんな種類がありとても喜んでました＾＾
混んでいた日だったので、波のプールの無料貸し出しの浮き輪など
ない状態でした。（自分の浮き輪持ち込みが禁止なのが不満です）
ライフジャケットがないと、波のプールエリアにすら入れてもらず
借りようと思っても長蛇の列で諦めました
あと、ご飯付きにしなかったので、１１時半くらいから売店が
注文するのに２０〜３０分で、商品を受け取るのに
１５分程度かかってしまいました
ランチ付きコースにしたほうがよかったと後悔しました

Although it was supposed to be a Japanese guide, the bus from the pickup point to the destination was entirely in English with a foreign guide. Moreover, the guide spoke loudly in English, continuously rambling about things that made no sense, which was not only noisy but also very unpleasant. On the return bus, unfortunately, it was the same foreign guide, and there was no proper explanation or guidance, leaving some people confused about which bus to take.
日本語ガイドの筈なのに、ピックアップから現地までのバスの中は外人ガイドで全て英語でした。しかもでかい声で英語でず〜と訳わからないことをしゃべり続けられて、うるさいだけでなく非常に不快でした。帰りのバスに乗る時も、残念ながら同じ外人のガイドで、説明も案内もまともになく、どのバスに乗っていいのかもわからず困っている方もいらっしゃいました。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
However, I sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience during the transfer.
I have shared your feedback with the operating company.
Typically, English-speaking staff will assist during the round-trip transfers, and there are also Japanese-speaking staff at the local activities.
Since the guide often responds to questions from customers in the vehicle, there was a tendency to continue talking during the transfer.
I am truly sorry for the lack of explanations and guidance on your return, which caused you inconvenience.
Based on your valuable feedback, we will strive to improve our services in the future.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your valuable experience.

I am a native Hawaiian so I know my way around a luau. I was home visiting family and decided to take my wife and kids to Chief's Luau at Sea Life Park Hawaii. I must say it was THE BEST luau I have ever been to. The food was excellent as I usually go to a luau for the food first and show second. The show was even better as Chief was the perfect showman with talent to burn. Speaking of burn, the fire dancers were simply AMAZING!! The entire show was dazzling as each Polynesian country were represented in true artistry. What an amazing show with some of the most delicious authentic Hawaiian food I have ever tasted. My only complaint, and its a small one, is that there was no haupia for dessert.
I've traveled to Hawaii many times, but I had never been to any island other than Oahu. This time, I experienced sightseeing on Kauai for the first time, and I was able to feel a different side of Hawaii. The lush, calming landscapes that spread out before me are definitely worth seeing at least once. Also, the coffee is delicious and can be purchased at a low price.
ハワイ旅行は何度もあるけれど、オアフ島以外に行ったことがありませんでした。
今回、初めてカウアイ島観光を体験して、また違ったハワイを感じることができました。
緑豊かで心安らぐ風景が目の前に大きく広がる風景は一度見てみる価値があると思います。
それとコーヒーがおいしく、安く購入できますよ。
