The weather was nice, and I was able to see sea turtles! The hamburger was delicious as well. I think it's worth participating at least once if you go to Hawaii.

天気もよく海亀も観れました！
ハンバーガーもおいしかったです。
ハワイに行ったら一度は参加して損は無いと思います。

Awesome and super friendly tour guide, Keith.
Highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Awesome and fun crew with good price.
We had lots of fun swimming the turtles.

The guide and staff were fun and cheerful, making the experience enjoyable. However, it was a bit disappointing that the sky was cloudy and the waves were high that day. The sandbar was about knee-deep. There's not much you can do about the weather, though. I purchased some beautiful photos taken with a DSLR camera. If you're looking to save money, I recommend bringing a waterproof camera.

The snorkeling was very safe, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was able to see sea turtles up close. The BBQ lunch was delicious, with a healthy flavor and content that Japanese people tend to prefer.

We participated in snorkeling, which was great, but those who didn't might have found it a bit boring. Families were feeding the turtles and taking photos, while some couples were napping on the boat. Even as a beginner swimmer, I didn't find snorkeling difficult, so I think participating would likely lead to a higher satisfaction level.

ガイドさんをはじめスタッフが楽しく陽気な人柄で楽しませてくれました。ただ、この日は終始曇り空で波が高かったのがちょっと残念でした、、、サンドバーも膝丈くらいまではあったかな。お天気ばかりは仕方がないことですね^^;一眼レフで綺麗に写真を撮っていただけたので購入しました。節約したい方は防水用カメラ持参がオススメです。
シュノーケリングも十分に安全を確保してもらい、堪能できました。ウミガメも間近で見ることができました。BBQランチは、日本人好みのヘルシーな味付けと内容でとてもおいしくいただきました。
私たちはシュノーケリングに参加したのでよかったのですが、参加しなかった方は少し退屈だったのかも。家族連れはカメに餌をあげたり写真を撮って楽しんでいましたが、カップルの中には船で眠っている方もいました。泳ぎは初心者の私でもシュノーケリングは難しく感じなかったので、できれば参加したほうが満足度が高いかなと思います。

I participated in a tour that included breakfast. It was convenient to have a plan where they picked me up at the hotel. The breakfast was delicious, and I was impressed by the beautiful sight of the whale's spout and tail. I was back at the hotel by 11:30, which allowed me to do some sightseeing in the afternoon. I think it's a great plan.

朝食食付きのツアーに参加しました。ホテルまで迎えに来てもらうプランで移動も楽でした。朝食も美味しく、クジラは潮吹きと尾ビレがキレイに見えて感動でした。11:30にはホテルに戻れて午後の観光もでき良いプランだと思います。

great meal & entertainment
beautiful sunset & Friday Hilton fireworks
would recommend this to Hawaii travelers

Fabulous weather and sightings more than we could count, including turtle! Food geared more for oriental tastes. Even though guides tried to control crowds for eating, it was caos! Bring your own food if you have specific needs or tastes. Crew friendly and helpful. Conservationist on board VERY knowledgeable.

I was about to give up when I couldn't find any whales and was preparing to return to port. Then, I spotted a whale spouting water. They extended the cruise time and slowed down the boat. After that, I was able to see it spout several times, and I also caught a glimpse of its distinctive tail. The excitement of finally seeing the whale was overwhelming. On top of that, a sea turtle swam by gracefully. The view of Waikiki from the sea was beautiful, and I think it's great to enjoy a leisurely cruise while waiting for the whales.

クジラはなかなか見つからず、間もなく帰港してしまうと諦めかけていた時でした。
クジラが潮を吹くのを見つけました。
クルーズ時間を延長し、船のスピードを落としてくださいました。
その後、何回か潮を吹くのが見られ、
あの特徴的な尾も見えました。
ずっと待っていたクジラの登場に、感動も高まりました。
おまけに、ユラユラ泳ぐ海亀も現れました。
海からのワイキキの景色も美しく、
のんびりとクジラを待つクルージングを楽しむのが良いと思います。

Enjoyed the bus tour, but it gets you there 2 hours after it opens.
The center itself focuses too much on entertainment and not enough on education. It is run by the Morman education system, so one would think if we are supporting the students we in turn would be educated about the various Polynesian cultures around the pacific.

I participated in my first trip to Hawaii with my family. We took a taxi from our hotel in Waikiki to the pier, checked in, and boarded the ship! I was a bit anxious about the language barrier since everything was in English, but there were Japanese announcements, so I didn't have much trouble. There were quite a few Japanese guests as well. The cruise started in the morning with great weather, and since we chose a plan without meals, we stayed on the top deck enjoying the sea and the scenery. As for the whales... we saw them! We could see the spouts and dorsal fins every few minutes, and it felt like we were cruising alongside them, which was very pleasant; I wanted to keep watching. I also hope to see them jump next time!

初めてのハワイ旅行で家族と一緒に参加しました。ワイキキのホテルからタクシーで船着場まで行きチェックインして乗船！英語ばかりだったらと少し不安でしたが日本語のアナウンスもあったので大して困ることもありませんでした。日本人客もけっこういました。朝からのクルーズで天気も良く、食事なしのプランにしたのでずっと一番上のフロアにいて海と景色を楽しみました。肝心のクジラですが、、、見えました！何分か置きに潮吹きや背びれが見えて一緒に平行してクルーズしているようでとても気持ちが良く、ずっと見ていたいなーと思いました。ジャンプも見てみたいと思いましたが次回に期待します！

It was a lot of fun to experience the boat trip with my friends. The boat was small and swayed a bit, but after having a cocktail, I felt energized. When I went out on deck, suddenly a whale appeared, surfacing multiple times and spouting water—it was a surprising and happy moment. We had a great view of Diamond Head, and the sunset was absolutely perfect for the mood. Just when I thought it was time to head back, the whale showed its tail several times, as if inviting us to come back to the waters of Hawaii. I plan to come again next year. The sunset cruise was amazing!

友人夫婦と一緒に初体験船は小さいがとても楽しかったです。船は少し揺れカクテルを少し頂いたら元気になれ甲板に出ると突然鯨が～背中を何度も出し潮吹きを目のあたりし驚き幸せのひと時でしたダイヤモンドヘッドが良く見られ日が落ちるサンセットはムード最高でした。そろそろ帰るのかな～と思っていると又クジラが尾びれを何度も見せていただき又ハワイの海に来て～
て行っているようでした。来年も来る予定です。サンセットクルーズは最高～です。

I participated with four friends! The staff were very cheerful and fun, the freshly baked hamburgers were delicious, and we had a wonderful experience with the amazing ocean! I think a light jacket is essential since the weather can change quickly.

友人4人と参加しました！とても明るくて楽しいスタッフさんや、焼きたての美味しいハンバーガー、そして素晴らしい海を体験できて大満足です！天候が変わりやすいので羽織りものは必須だと思います。

This was exactly what we were hoping for. It would have only been better if we saw dolphins as well. The staff was friendly and knowledgable, the food was great, and the whales were perfect!

Great job!

In celebration of our 11th Year Anniversary, my husband and I agreed getting on a helicopter tour. At first, I was worried about motion sickness, and all these negative thoughts we had in our minds especially that we have young children but as we were heading to the helicopter site, the fear that we've had before is turning to an excitement, even more so after we were checked-in by Vincent, who was very helpful, funny, and was able to answer some of the questions and concerns I had before the flight. The weather was cooperating with us too as it was sunny, bright blue skies, with no high winds considering that there was a storm and strong winds the day before. We were asked to check-in 45 minutes before the flight and I thought that was too early but once we got there, the time actually went by too fast as we watched videos of these great sceneries taken on the flights that got us even more fired up!

Adam was our pilot that day and he was very professional, friendly, and informative. He even had us take our time to see the whales as we spotted them swimming in the ocean (we saw 4), and also tons of turtles floating above the water. I like how he communicates with everyone as well and made sure that we are all doing okay.

We are local residents by the way, we've been living in Oahu for 19 years and I have never seen the island so remarkably beautiful until we took this flight! It was amazing and I never stopped talking about it! The sceneries were breathtaking, especially the views of Kaneohe Sandbar! Just incredibly stunning, and what a stress reliever! I don't know how else to express myself but our experience was beyond our expectation! I never appreciated Mother Nature as much as I do now so thank you Blue Hawaiian Helicopters for showing us these and the wonderful experience that will truly last a lifetime! Lucky to live Hawaii..INDEED!

This was a great experience. Very knowledgable naturalist. The first cruise out we didn't see any whales, but they guarantee sightings, so they gave everyone a voucher for a free second trip. I went right back out on the lunch cruise and we saw a bunch of whales! We even followed (at a respectful distance) a mom and baby for about an hour. She breached right in front of our boat! The food was very good (especially because I originally signed up for the breakfast cruise so I wasn't counting on eating). Staff was great, I'd recommend this to anybody!

It was an amazing way to spend the day out on the bay! I have heard so much about how beautiful whale watching is, and they are not wrong. The captain and the naturalists on board knew everything and anything there is about humpback whales. They even have library books on their tables for everyone to read and learn. Lunch was great with an endless buffet of local food. The whales were awesome! They were flapping their tales every 5 minutes. We found a pod of about 6 whales. None of them however jumped or stood out of the water, but that is not a problem. We were fortunate to have found them in 20 minutes of departure. We had a good 2 hours of observing and trying to take as much pictures as we could.

While visiting the beautiful Island of Oahu, I started to reminisce of the last time I came here and it was for the last Michael Jackson performance back in the 90's. I was searching for a dinner and show activity and I was fortunate that I came across hawaiiactivities.com - Veltra because they have a 2 For 1 Review Rebate Special. I was traveling with my family, and so we booked for the Green Room & Dinner Show package. As we checked in at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, we were greeted with warm alohas from everyone working. We started on an amazing tour of the theater and got to see some of the marvelous collections of Elvis and Michael Jackson. The dinner was amazing, and the we had the cocktails coming all night long. The show was amazing! It brought back many fond memories of my teenage life growing up listening to Elvis. I was having many flashbacks as I was singing to all the songs and rocking the night away. But unlike many shows in Waikiki, Rock A Hula has something special and particular to their show which is... Hawaiian Performances. Hula dancers, chants, and acts that resembled Elvis's presence here in Hawaii while sharing the Aloha spirit. This show is highly recommended if you love old school pop and classical songs. Thank you Veltra & Stars of Paradise for this wonderful time I had.

I unfortunately got injured before this trip, and even though I was looking forward to enjoying the slides, I didn't use any of them. It's very disappointing. I imagine it would have been fun if I had used the slides, but overall, I just explored a bit, and it felt like there wasn't much difference from Tokyo Summerland.

今回旅行前にケガをしてしまい、折角スライダーを楽しみにしていたのに、どれ一つとして利用しませんでした。とても残念です。おそらくスライダーなど利用すれば楽しかったのでしょうが、全体的に色々探索しただけですが、東京サマーランドと大して差はないように感じました。

I think this is the best company to visit Sandbar! If you would like to visit Sandbar, you should choose this company!

I would strongly recommend organization for doing a sail and snorkel activity.
The crew was informative, very helpful, and made the afternoon totally enjoyable.
Aftersnorkeling there was a report of a whale and that had just calved. The crew took us to the area where the whale was sighted and we, too, were able to see multiple sightings of the whale.

I enjoyed a leisurely breakfast while searching for whales and relaxing by the shores of Waikiki. There were staff members who took photos for us, making the experience even more enjoyable.

のんびり朝食を食べクジラを探したりワイキキの海岸沿いを眺めながらゆったりゆらゆら　写真を撮ってくれるスタッフさんもいたりして気持ちよく過ごせました

The sandbar unfortunately didn't have any sand, but I was able to enjoy myself in water that was about ankle-deep. I was able to see turtles swimming in the sea as well. Snorkeling was my first experience, and I was scared, so I could only do it for a short time, but I was able to see corals and fish. However, in the afternoon, clouds came out and it got cold, so I regretted not bringing more warm clothing. The staff were all friendly and nice people. Next time, I would like to go in spring or summer.

サンドバーは、残念ながら砂は出ていませんでしたが、足のくるぶしぐらいまでの深さで、
楽しく過ごすことができました。カメも普通に海を泳いていて見つけることができました。シュノーケリングは、初体験で怖かったので短時間しかできませんでしたが、サンゴも
魚も見ることができました。ただ午後になって雲が出てきて寒かったので、防寒着をもっと
持っていけばよかったと反省しました。スタッフはみんなフレンドリーでいい人達でした。
今度は、春か夏に行ってみたいです。

The options were excellent!
The crew on the boat was amazing!
The hamburgers were incredibly delicious!

I want to go again!
Next time, I want to walk on the sandbar that emerges from the water on a sunny day.

I made the best memories.
Thank you to all the crew members!

オプション内容は文句なし！
船のクルーも最高！
ハンバーガーは激ウマ！

また行きたい❗️
次は晴れた日に海面から出ているサンドバーを歩きたいな(￣^￣)ゞ

最高にいい思い出が出来ました。
クルーのみなさんありがとう(^^)

I intentionally chose the Navatek and participated. It was a great decision! The number of people was just right, and I think we were in a spot where everyone could see well. When someone spotted a whale, we quickly moved to that position. We even encountered a large group of dolphins that felt almost like a performance! Although we couldn't see the whale in its entirety (is that how it usually is?), I was able to confirm it with my own eyes!

あえてナバテック号を選んで、参加しました。
大正解！
人数的にもちょうどよく、みんなが見えやすい場所にいたと思います。
誰かが、クジラの気配を見つけると、割と小回り良くそのポジションに移動しました。
演出？！と思うくらいのイルカの大群にも出会え、、、肝心のクジラも姿丸ごとは観れませんでしたが（そうそうそういうもの？）
この目でしっかりと確認できました！！

Roy and I really enjoyed ourself, the guys were all great, we have been on a few different whale watch tours thru out the years, and by all means this was the best, we got to experience at least 40 sightings of whales, was simple wonderful. Will tell all our friends that visit Oahu, while we were on the boat we first saw several turtles, had to laugh cuz the guys said to look for trash cans lids, that was the green sea turtles and we saw about five of them, also the snacks they served were great I ate a lot of the fresh fruit and had a beer that they had available on tap. We will be sure to pass the word on of the great time we had and have passed out a few of the extra business cards we had. Great time.

We took a catamaran ride as a couple in our 50s. The two handsome crew members didn't speak Japanese, but they were friendly and we managed with their broken English. My wife can't swim, but they provided life jackets and simple floaties, so there were no issues. Above all, the experience of swimming with sea turtles was invaluable. The free hamburgers they provided were also delicious. However, be careful as the meeting point is at the left end of Outrigger Beach facing the sea, and it was hard to find. There were no signs or anything.

50歳台の夫婦2人でカタマラン号に乗りました。
イケメンのクルー2人は日本語を話せませんが、フレンドリーで、片言の英語で何とかなります。妻は泳げませんが、救命胴衣をや簡単な浮き輪を貸してくれるので、問題ありませんでした。
なんといっても、ウミガメと一緒に泳げる体験は貴重です。無料でくれるハンバーガーも美味しかった。
ただ、集合場所がアウトリガーの浜の、海に向かって左端で、わかりにくかったので気を付けて。看板などはありません。

This was not a good experience for me because one of the crew members was rude at the beginning so it kind of ruined my trip. There was no lunch, they had some chips, an assortment of drinks and granola bars. We did not see too much whales but I guess it's not up to the crew, it is whenever whales want to get out of the water which in our case there wasn't that much to see. The boat was nice and I like the nets in the front, it was kind of fun to sit and watch the ocean from there. Drinks were good too. Captain was very good at maneuvering the boat. The boat was clean and acceptable. I think they could work on better manners for the crew and it won't be too bad.

The Japanese male staff member was unkind. The treatment of Westerners and Japanese people was drastically different. They put wristbands on each Western guest individually, but for us, they handed out one for each person and made us do it ourselves.

案内の日本人男性が不親切。欧米人と日本人の対応がえらく違う。欧米人にはリストバンドを一人一人つけていたが、我々には人数分配り、やらされた。

Our whale excursion was a great experience. Our crew, Anthony, Carlos and Bret were very knowledgeable, friendly and fun. We saw two pods of whales. All in all, it was a great day. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone.

Highly recommend it! Crew was wonderful. Made sure we had drinks and the appetizers. View of Waikiki absolutely breathtaking!the sunset was magical! Also saw humpback whales as a bonus! Would do it again.
