The tour itself was great. Seeing the Arizona, punch bowl cemetery and downtown Honolulu was enjoyable. Tour guide was knowledgable and fun, bus was clean. Don't be afraid to bring a backpack with snacks on the bus, our driver locked it up while off the bus. We used Hawaii activities tour group. We were supposed to also see uss Missouri but had to change during tour because of time constraints. So that was disappointing. On website it lists getting back to hotel by 1:30 at latest but once we got to Pearl Harbor tour driver informed us that people seeing Missouri wouldn't leave until 1:45, we had to check out of hotel by 1:30. It took several angry calls to get veltra to reimburse our difference in cost. Had I known the times were different I would have not booked the longer tour or made different arraignments with hotel. Kids were 11& 7 and both enjoyed it, 7 year old even cried during the movie.

This time, I checked the tide schedule in advance and made a reservation.

On the day of the trip, unfortunately, the weather was terrible with heavy rain... We boarded the boat and first went to see the sea turtles. The sandbar we saw on the way to see the sea turtles was very beautiful. We were able to see several sea turtles, which was great.

After that, we headed to the sandbar... Huh?? The part of the sandbar that was above the water was much narrower than what we saw on the way to see the turtles??? While we were looking at the sea turtles, the tide came in over time, and we couldn't see the sandbar as much as we had hoped. On top of that, the weather was unfortunate...

I checked the tide schedule and chose a day with a big tide, but I learned that the timing of low tide is also very important. I hope there will be a day when I can try again.

今回、予め潮順をみて申込みました。

当日は、あいにくのお天気でどしゃぶり・・・
船に乗り、最初にウミガメを見に行きました。
ウミガメを見に行く際に見えたサンドバーは、とても綺麗に見えました。
ウミガメは、何匹も見えてとても良かったです。

その後、サンドバーへ。。。
あれれ？？カメを見に行く途中に見えたサンドバーよりもかなり海面に出ている部分が狭くなっている？？？
ウミガメを先に見に行っている間に、時間の経過とともに潮が満ちてきて思っていたほどのサンドバーを見ることができませんでした。
そのうえあいにくのお天気・・・

潮順を見て、大潮の日を選んで申し込みましたが、やはり干潮の時間もとても大事なことを知りました。
いつかまたリベンジできる日があるといいです。

I took my best friend and 14 year old son on this dinner cruise. We arrived early, got good seats. The dinner was delicious, the staff was very friendly and informative, and the view was gorgeous and priceless!! We went on the cruise on Friday evening so we were able to enjoy the fireworks as well as the beautiful ocean, sunset and view of O'ahu from the sea. Everyone definitely must add this to their to do list even if born and raised in Honolulu!!

I visited on June 9th.

The weather was perfect, which was a relief. We had a plan that included transportation and lasted until 3 PM, and my spouse and I enjoyed it more than enough.

This was because it was quite empty, and I think the longest wait for each slide was about 5 minutes. We were able to enjoy everything smoothly, and both of us were very satisfied.

However, I have one complaint regarding the transportation: there were too many hotel stops!

We stopped at major locations, and I thought, "Wait, are we stopping again?" It took us over 2 hours to reach the site, which should have taken about an hour from the hotel, and I felt that was a bit of a waste of time.

During busy seasons, I think it would be more efficient to use a rental car.

Also, it was very disappointing that I couldn't ride the attraction I wanted to the most. I understand it was under inspection, but still...

The other attractions were thrilling, and we rode the two-person slide called Shaka multiple times.

When we went, there were times when the sun was hidden by clouds for a bit too long, which made it feel a bit chilly.

Especially after getting out of the pool, it felt even colder. It might be convenient to have something to wear that can handle getting wet.

Additionally, when getting on attractions, you may be warned about bringing cameras and asked to leave them in a locker, so please be careful.

6月9日に伺いました。

天気は最高で、安心しました。送迎付きのプランで15時までのプランですが、夫婦二人では

十分すぎるぐらい楽しめました。というのも、かなり空いていて、各スライダーも5分待てば

長いほうだったと思います。スムーズに楽しむことができて夫婦ともども大満足でした。

ただ、送迎に関しては1点クレームがあり、寄るホテルが多すぎる！！

主要な場所にも寄り、「え？また止まるの？」

というところで止まり、ホテルから現地まで1時間かかるかかからないところを

2時間以上かけて向かったときは少し時間がもったいないと感じました。

混んでいるシーズン中などはレンタカーなどでいかれたほうが、時間を有効活用できると

思います。

また、今回残念だったのが、1番乗りたかったものに乗れなかったのが非常に残念でした。

点検ということなので致し方ありませんが、、、。

ほかのアトラクションもスリル満点で特にシャカという2人乗りのスライダーは何回も乗りまし

た。

私たちが行ったときは、少し太陽が雲に隠れる時間が長かったので、肌寒い印象がありました。

特にプールから上がった後などは、余計にそう感じました。

濡れても大丈夫な羽織れるものがあると便利かもしれません。

あと、アトラクションに乗る際はカメラなどを持っていると注意され、ロッカーに置いてきて

下さいと言われることがあるので、気を付けてください。

Sea turtle watching, going down to the sea for photo time, returning to the boat once to put on snorkeling gear, and heading back to the sea again. We had plenty of time and really enjoyed it. I had checked the low tide times on the website, so everything was perfect. When we were leaving, the afternoon tour group was arriving, but the sandy beach had already sunk, so I think it's essential to check the tide schedule before booking! We saw a lot of fish, and my husband was very satisfied. I only used a digital camera on the boat and took photos with my iPhone covered. Many people were without cameras on the water, but the scenery is so beautiful that I think it's worth bringing one. You can't press the shutter underwater, but I was able to capture a lot of fish on video. Tips are not forcibly requested; I think a small amount is fine. We were able to return to the hotel by 11:30, so we made good use of our time. I definitely want to recommend this to my friends!

海亀ウォッチング、海へ降りて写真タイム、1度船へ戻りシュノーケリング装着してもう1度海へ。
時間も十分とっていただいており、満喫できました。
サイトで干潮時間も調べていたのでバッチリでした。
帰る時、午後のツアーの方が来られていましたが、もう砂浜は沈んでしまっていたので、申込前に必ず満ち引きを調べた方がいいと思います！
魚もたくさん見れて、旦那も大満足でした。
デジカメは船上だけにして、iPhoneカバーつけて写真撮影しました。
水上ではカメラ無しの方も多かったですが、本当に景色が綺麗なのでぜひ用意した方がいいと思います。
水中はシャッターが押せませんが、ムービーでたくさん魚を撮影できました☆
チップは無理に要求もされません。気持ち程度で大丈夫だと思います。
しっかり11:30にホテルに戻れたので時間も有効活用できました。
ぜひ友人にもおすすめしたいと思います♪

Since deciding to go to Hawaii in July a year ago, I searched for the day with the lowest tide during my itinerary and made a reservation. The water level dropped to my ankles, and it truly felt like a heavenly sea! I was warmly welcomed by many honu (sea turtles) of all sizes! I even spotted a honu resting among the corals while snorkeling. I also enjoyed paddle surfing and canoeing! The sandwiches for lunch were delicious!

7月にハワイ行きを決めた１年前から、行程内の一番潮位が低い日を探し、予約しました。
くるぶし位まで海面が下がり、ホントに天国の海！
ホヌにも大歓迎され大小たくさん会いに来てくれました！
シュノーケリングでも、珊瑚の間で寝ている？ホヌを見かけました。
パドルサーフィン・カヌーも楽しめました！
お昼のサンドイッチ美味しかった！

The wonderful views from the sandbar and the sea turtle watch were amazing. The BBQ lunch was a hamburger, but it was a very delicious burger. Above all, encountering sea turtles while snorkeling was the highlight. Swimming with the sea turtles I had longed for was absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend it. The guides were also friendly and likable. Thank you very much.

サンドバーの素晴らしい景色とウミガメウォッチ。BBQランチはハンバーガーでしたがとても美味しいバーガーでした。なにより本格的シュノーケルでウミガメに遭遇。念願のウミガメと泳げたことが最高によかったです。絶対お勧めです。
ガイドの皆さんもフレンドリーで好感がもてます。ありがとうございました。

On the day of the event, the bus was crowded, and even after the pickup time had passed, the bus did not arrive. When I called the contact number for VELTRA, an English voice guide was playing, and it seemed like I had to choose buttons. After randomly selecting a button, I was met with more English voice guidance. I couldn't understand anything, so I hung up. I wish VELTRA would provide a way to make inquiries in Japanese.

Even though we were about 45 minutes late, the return time was the same, and I felt like I lost out. Once we arrived, there was no particular guidance, and I wandered around not knowing where the cabana was or which one I could use. When I decided to use one of the cabanas, a female staff member appeared out of nowhere and started giving instructions in English again. I hardly understood, but it seemed like I could use it. (I didn't even understand what a cabana was at the time, but it refers to a covered space.) That's how we started.

For lunch, I thought the BBQ would mean we would cook it ourselves, but it was a buffet style where we just took the meat that was cooked in the kitchen. However, the meat was quite delicious.

The pool facilities were very enjoyable, and I wished I could have played more. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to explore everything.

当日はバスが混んでいたのか、ピックアップ時間を過ぎてもバスは来ず、VELTRAの問い合わせ連絡先に電話すると英語でべらべら音声案内が流れボタンを選べらしき内容で、適当にボタンを選んだらまた英語音声案内でべらべらガイダンス。訳が分からないので電話を切りました。VELTRAさんには日本語の問い合わせを出来るようにして欲しいです。

　時間が45分ぐらい遅れたのに、帰り時刻は同じで損をした気分です。着いても特に案内も無くカバナが何処にあるのか、どれを使っても良いのか分からずうろうろしました。適当にこのカバナを使おうと腰を下すと、何処からともなく女性の従業員が来てこれまた英語でべらべら案内、殆ど分からずですが使っても良い様子。(カバナ自体も分っていなかったのですが、屋根付きのスペースのことです)。こんな感じでスタートしました。

お昼のBBQランチはBBQだけに自分で焼くのかなと思っていましたがバイキング形式で調理場で焼いたお肉をとるだけでした。でもこの肉なかなか美味しかったです。

プール施設自体は大変楽しくもっと遊んでいたかったです。時間が少なく全て廻りきれませんでした。

We were in Hawaii for the first time celebrating our 30th anniversary and stayed for 7 nights in Waikikki. We booked this tour in advanced, paid total US$75 each, total $150.00 which included the admission and tour to USS Battleship Missouri via this site. So glad we booked this tour which we did on our 3rd day. We were picked up 5 minutes earlier, and the tour guide Marlon was most helpful and courteous. We got to stop and visit the Palace in Honolulu since we were early. The motor coach was very comfortable. A group with young children was late coming back, but the bus operator waited patiently for them. Marlon gave us very good instructions, for all the different visit sites at Pearl Harbour, and got us all our admission tickets very quickly and smoothly. This tour is well worth it as we got so many information which you would not have known had you just gone on your own. We did rent a car for 3 days, but we definitely made a right decision to purchase this tour and not drive there ourselves, just for the extra tour guide information is well worth it. Instead, we rented the car for our last 3 days in Waikikki and drove along North Shore, South Shore and West shore over 3 days. The Pearl Harbour, including Mighty Mo tour is a must do - we even got to take a picture with Mr. Hyland, a 98 year old survivor from Pearl Harbour. 5 stars for this tour !

When we arrived at the port, it was slightly rainy and chilly, and I was a bit worried, but after a few minutes on the boat, the blue sky appeared! We were able to see manta rays, which we usually don't get to see, and I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling until the very end. I was very satisfied!

港に到着した時は若干小雨で肌寒く、大丈夫かなぁと心配したのですが、いざ船に乗って何分かすると青空に！普段は見られないマンタも見ることができ、シュノーケリングは最後まで楽しみ大満足でした！

Good food, entertainment & of course the view! Beautiful!

This was relaxing and awesome! We got to see turtles and dolphins on this sailing cruise. You get to see the beautiful view of the city and diamond head. Great price for this!

The sandbar had great weather and was fantastic.
The tide was about 10 centimeters below my knees, so the beach didn't appear, but I was able to practice snorkeling, which was good.
The hamburger for lunch was incredibly delicious!!
They grilled the patty (probably from Costco) on the boat, and it was juicy and tasty.
I saw a decent amount of fish while snorkeling, and they were keeping a proper watch, so I had no concerns about safety.

サンドバーは天気も良く、最高でした。
潮位はちょうどひざ下10センチくらいだったので砂浜が現れることはなかったのですが、シュノーケリングの練習ができたので良かったです。
お昼のハンバーガーが激うま！！
パティ（多分コストコの）を船上で焼いてくれたのですが、ジューシーで美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングではまあまあお魚も見れたし、きちんと監視してくれてるので安全面にも不安はありませんでした。

Our guide, Clifton, was great. He was knowledgable and very friendly. He was quick with a joke or light comment to keep the hot, sunny day light and fun.
The cultural center was well kept and full of beautiful and informative displays.
We enjoyed the entertainment and the food at the luau and "Ha" was beautiful. The dancing was amazing.

We had dinner as a couple on July 6th. From the appetizers to the soup, main course, and dessert, we thoroughly enjoyed the beautifully crafted dishes and were very satisfied. The menu composition and portion sizes were just right, allowing us to savor each course without feeling overly full, which can often be the case with dinners abroad. The delicate flavors of the appetizers and soup were particularly noteworthy. We definitely want to visit again.

7月6日ディナーを夫婦で利用しました。
前菜からスープ、メインそしてドルチェに至るまで非常に趣向を凝らした料理を満喫でき、
大変満足しました。メニュー構成、分量も丁度よく、ともすれば満腹感だけが印象に残りがちな海外でのディナーですが、最後までゆっくりと味わうことができました。
特に前菜とスープの繊細な味わいは特筆もの。
また是非利用したいと思います。

Best snorkeling and snuba ever!!! Been in this boat three times. Crew is wonderful and so is the lunch!!! Highly recommend.

The beautiful sea stretched endlessly, and it was so healing ❤️ I was able to see not only sea turtles but also manta rays. Snorkeling with the southern fish was the best! With the crew's accurate advice, I had a wonderful time.

綺麗な海がどこまでも続いていて癒されました❤️
ウミガメはもちろん、マンタにも会えたし
南の魚とのシュノーケリングはサイコーです！
クルーの方の的確なアドバイスのもと、
楽しい時間を過ごせました

This tour has so many highlights. I was impressed when we landed on the sandbar (it was really beautiful!), and I was thrilled to spot a sea turtle popping its head up in a spot filled with them. Snorkeling at the coral reef was also amazing, and above all, the burgers grilled on the boat were the best!

見どころがいっぱいのツアーです。サンドバー（本当にきれい！）に上陸した時も感動したし、ウミガメのたくさんいるスポットで、顔を出したウミガメを発見できて感動。サンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングも最高だったし、何より船の上で焼いてくれるハンバーガーが最高でした。

My partner and me really enjoyed on this cruise. Beautiful dinner, very helpful friendly crew and could see romantic sunset. I have joined this cruise 3rd times. every time never have any disappoint!! We are middle age couple. this cruise is great for family, girls group, boys group, big group, young people and old people everyone as well!!

I participated with my 3-year-old son and mother. I was a bit anxious about joining since my son was with me, but he was really happy. We encountered a few rain showers, but the weather was generally good, and the sandbar was shallow enough to my knees, with beautiful water.

My son and I didn't participate in snorkeling, but we were happy because they lent us a boat while we waited, so we didn't get bored. We were able to see sea turtles several times, but it was hard for my son to see them, and he said he couldn't see the turtles, which was a bit disappointing.

I would like to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

3歳の息子と母と参加しました。
息子が一緒だったので参加するまでは不安でしたが、かなり喜んでいました。何回かスコールにはあいましたが、それでも天気は良くサンドバーも膝下で海もきれいでした。
私と息子はシュノーケリングに参加しなかったのですが、待っている間ボートを貸してくれたため喜んでおり暇することもなかったです。
ウミガメは何度か見ることができましたが息子には分かりづらくカメ見えないと言っていたのが残念でした。
またハワイに行く際には参加したいと思います。

The last time I came to Hawaii, I didn't have time to come to Pearl Harbor. Missing it had been one of my biggest regrets of that trip, so when I came back again it was pretty much the only thing on my "must do" list. I normally buy my excursions as a last minute thing so that I can be free to decide last minute what I want to do with my precious vacation days, but not wanting to risk missing Pearl Harbor again, I booked this excursion about a week before I arrived on the islands. I did a bit of research on different tours and options and decided that the USS Arizona memorial was what I was most interested in, and (due to a rebate offered for writing a review), veltra ended up being the best deal I could find. The trip itself was pretty basic... A bus tour of several areas of town including the old palace and the military gravesite near then punch bowl, but the driver was friendly and informative and the bus was comfortable.
Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona memorial were great to see. It was a very moving experience and I highly recommend it to anyone who has the time.

Visiting Pearl Harbor was the main reason we went to Oahu and we were so happy we booked this tour. Our driver Larry was extremely personable and knowledgeable and made the experience very worthwhile!

I chose the shorter option since I was with my 70-year-old mother, but we had a great time! We saw plenty of sea turtles, and the sandbar was truly beautiful!!! I highly recommend this tour.

70歳の母と一緒だったので短い時間のほうにしましたが、十分に楽しめました！
海亀も沢山見れてサンドバーは本当に綺麗！！！
オススメのツアーです。

We had a blast! The captain and crew were wonderful and made sure everything was in place for a wonderful time. Everything from the location, weather, snorkeling tips, customer service and drinks contributed to all of us having a super day. We saw 8 to 10 turtles and much more marine life in two hours time. We even saw dolphins jumping high out of the water with Diamond Head in the background. Unfortunately they were so fast, I missed getting their pic. We will definitely take this trip again with this same outfit. Maybe the lunch or dinner trip. Can't wait to repeat!

It was worth checking the low tide times and making a reservation; it was very beautiful. There was a problem at the meeting place, so my rating is average, but other than that, I was very satisfied.

引き潮時間を確認して予約したかいがあり、とても綺麗でした。集合場所でトラブルがあり評価は普通ですが、それ以外は大満足です。

it was my first time went on the dinner cruise since I live in Hawaii for 20 years, I really enjoy the steak and loster dinner, the workers were very friendly and helpful, that made me feel like I was having a family dinner with my family. The manager name Joey especially came serveral times to visit us and made sure everything was okay, we have a great time in Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner cruise!!!

The shuttle bus was a large one. At the last pick-up location on the way there, the driver distributed tickets and explained how to wear the wristbands for each group. However, there were many guests, and since the driver was working alone while checking the list, it took a while before we could depart. I thought it might be necessary to have an additional ticket attendant.

Upon arriving at the pool, after getting off the bus and receiving an explanation from the staff, we were given our admission tickets. This process also took time as it was done by one person checking the list for each group. I felt a bit rushed since our time to enjoy the pool was limited.

The park had a great variety of slides. Although it was a weekday, there were families present, but it felt like there were many groups of children, and compared to Japan, it was quite spacious and not crowded at all. The ground was very hot, so beach sandals are a must when moving around! Meals were to be purchased from the outdoor stalls, which were always crowded regardless of the time. We enjoyed our food deliciously while lounging on the sunbeds we secured right after entering the park, overlooking the pool.

Although I felt rushed about the time before entering the park, I was able to fully enjoy my experience.

送迎車は大型バスでした。
行きの最後のピック場所で、運転手がグループごとにチケットの配布と手首への巻き方を教えてくれました。しかし客の人数は多く、配布時も名簿を確認しながらな上に運転手一人での作業な為、出発までに時間がかかりました。運転手の他に、チケット係りが一人必要なのではないかと思いました。

プールに到着し、バスを降りると係りの人からの説明の後入場券をもらうのですが、これも一人での作業で同じくグループごとに名簿を確認しながら行うため時間がかかりました。
プールで遊ぶ時間は限られてるのに…と少し焦ってしまいます。

園内はスライダーが充実していました。
平日でしたが、家族連れも見受けられましたが子供グループが多い印象で、日本と比べるととても空いていて広々と遊べました。
地面がとても熱いので、移動の際はビーチサンダル必須です！
食事は外の売店を利用することになりますが、時間帯関係なく常に混んでいたと思います。園内に入ってすぐに確保したサンベッドで、プールを眺めながら美味しく頂きました。

園内に入るまでは時間に関して焦っていましたが、充分漫喫できました。

Great time. My daughter got sea sicked but other than we had a lot of fun.

I was able to see the whale's tail for a moment. It seems that it's quite rare to see them in the way depicted in photos. The scenery alone is enjoyable enough. Spotting whales depends on luck.

鯨の尻尾が一瞬ですが、みれました。　なかなか写真のような姿は見れないようです。景色だけでも十分楽しめます。鯨は運に左右されます。
