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 guide was very enjoyable, and I felt safe while experiencing the thrilling parasailing. I would like to participate again.

ガイドしてくれた方も大変楽しく　安心してスリルあるパラセールが楽しめました。
また　参加してみたいです。

There are a lot of sharks, and you can see them very closely. I wouldn't recommend it for those who don't speak any English at all, but if you can understand a little, the staff is kind and friendly, and I think it's a lot of fun. The boat rocks a lot, so taking motion sickness medication is essential.

サメはたくさんいますし、とても近くで見れます。
英語が全くダメな方にはオススメしませんが、少し理解出来る方であればスタッフも親切ですしフレンドリーでとても楽しいと思います。
船がめちゃくちゃ揺れるので船酔いの薬は必須です。

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！

At first, I was scared, but once I got used to it, I enjoyed it like a bird! You can get a great view of Diamond Head and Waikiki. It's okay to put your smartphone in a waterproof case and hang it around your neck. It might be a good idea to take motion sickness medicine for peace of mind. I recommend the $30 photo package; they take a lot of great pictures!

はじめは怖かったですが慣れると鳥の気分で楽しめました！
ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキを一望できます。
スマホは防水ケースに入れて首に下げてオッケーです。
酔い止めは飲んだ方が安心かも。
30ドルの写真もたくさん撮ってもらえておすすめです。

When inexperienced riders go horseback riding in Japan, there are often people pulling the reins beside them, but here, the ranch staff leads the way on horseback, forming a line and taking about 1.5 hours to tour the ranch. There were many amusing incidents, such as the horses bumping into each other, starting to eat grass, and needing to relieve themselves, which made it enjoyable. Among the six customers, we were the only Japanese.

日本で未経験者が乗馬となると、オーバルコースで横に手綱を引く人がいたり、だと思いますが、ここでは牧場スタッフが騎乗した馬を先頭に、隊列を組んで1.5時間かけて牧場内を回ります。
乗馬した馬同士でどつきあったり、草を食べ始めたり、用をたしたりのハプニングが多数あって、楽しめました。
6人のお客のうち、日本人は私達だけでした。

I was worried about how much my 2-year-old would enjoy it, but it seems they had fun seeing cows, pigs, and the ocean. Thanks to the Japanese staff who explained everything kindly, we had a great time! We brought a stroller, and they also helped us with where to put it, which was very helpful! During the final garden tour, my child got a bit restless and couldn't sit still, so we let them run freely on the grass in the great outdoors while we waited for the older kids to finish their activities. It turned out to be a very relaxing and enjoyable time.

2歳の子がどこまで楽しめるか不安でしたが
牛やブタさん、海も見れて楽しんでくれたようです。
日本語スタッフが丁寧に説明してくれたおかげでとても楽しめました！
ベビーカーも持っていきましたが置き場所も教えてもらえたり助かりました！
最後のガーデンツアーは、さすがに
子どもが飽きてきてじっと乗ってられないので
大自然の中芝生で思いっきり走らせて
上の子たちのアクティビティが終わるのを待ちましたが、とてもゆっくりした良い時間を過ごせました。

The weather was changeable with rain coming and going. It was a two-hour course, but we could see both the mountains and the sea, which was very beautiful. However, there was only one shuttle bus, and everyone had to gather at 7 AM for both the 9 AM and 11 AM courses, resulting in a lot of waiting time after arriving on site.

雨が降ったりやんだりで天気が変わりやすい中でした。2時間コースでしたが山も海もみれてとても綺麗でした。ただ送迎のバスが一台で、9時台のコースも11時台のコースもみんな7時集合、現地に着いてからの待ち時間が多かったです。

Awesome people!
Awesome weather!
Totally awesome experience

Great crew just the right amount of time and I burn easy. Just bring stuff to cover up and sunscreen. So much fun and a unbelievable experience. Most of what we saw didnt seem real, like we were watching it on tv.

We participated as a couple. I'm not very comfortable with heights, but being over the ocean made it not a problem at all. We joined at a height of 130 meters, but I think you can enjoy it at any height.

I thought about taking photos from above, but I was worried I might drop my smartphone, so I gave up. I ended up purchasing the photos taken by the guide.

Although we're not a young couple, we really wanted to participate in activities that feel Hawaiian, so it was great.

Also, the fact that the time commitment wasn't too long was a plus. After it was over, we could head back quickly, allowing us to enjoy the rest of the day.

夫婦で参加しました。余り高いところが得意ではないのですが、海の上だからか全然気にならなかったです。高さ130ｍで参加しましたが、どの高さでもそれなりに楽しめると思います。

上空から写真を撮ろうかとも思いましたが、スマホを落としそうな気がして断念。ガイドさんに撮っていただいた写真を購入しました。

若い夫婦ではないのですが、ハワイっぽいアクティビティにも参加したいと思っていたのですごく良かったです。

後は拘束時間がそんなに長くないのも良かったです。終わったらサクッと帰れたので、その後も1日色々遊べます。

In the morning, I was excited in the car that picked me up. The driver was also an interesting person, which made it enjoyable. They took photos on the boat, but I didn't purchase any... When we soared into the sky, it was truly refreshing! I also enjoyed the usual Japan experience!

朝、お迎えの車の中からドキドキしていました。ドライバーさんも面白い方で楽しめました。船の中では写真を撮ってくれましたが購入はしませんでした・・・。大空に舞い上がったときは本当に爽快でした！お決まりのジャポンも楽しめました！

I was worried because I was about 10 minutes late for the meeting time, so I called the tour company. They told me to keep waiting as they were on their way, and a few minutes later, the pickup van arrived. It seemed to take some time because quite a few participants were on board. We sped along in a boat with little rocking for about 10 minutes and then flew in groups. There were groups that only got splashed a little on their toes and others that got splashed multiple times, so if you have a preference, you can let the guide know to enjoy it more. The guide didn't seem to speak much Japanese, but they tried to understand with their limited English, so there's no need to worry. It was fun!! Thank you, guide!! There are many photos, and all of them are beautifully taken, so it's worth buying them.

集合時間から１０分ほど遅れたので心配でツアー会社に電話をしました。
そっちに向かっているので引き続き待っていてと言われ、数分後に迎えのバンが来ました。参加者が結構乗っていたので時間がかかったようです。揺れの少ない船で１０分ほど爆走し、グループごとに飛びました。水ジャポンは足先だけちょびっとのグループと何度もジャポンされたグループがあったので、希望があればガイドさんに言うと楽しめます。日本語はあまり話せなさそうでしたが、つたない英語でも理解しようとしてくれるので心配いらないです。楽しかったです！！ガイドさんありがとう！！写真はたくさんあり全てきれいに撮れているので買ったほうがいいです。

This time, my wife, who can't swim, wanted to take on the challenge and participated! However, she gave up right after jumping in (^^;

Even so, we were able to enjoy a wonderful time on the boat with the best performances and the attentive service from the crew.

今回、泳げない妻がチャレンジしたいと参加しました❗
が
やはり、飛び込んですぐにギブアップ(^^;

それでも船上で最高のパフォーマンスやクルーの細やかなサービスに楽しい一時を過ごす事ができました。

I participated with my mother and daughter. This was the second time for my mother and daughter at the sandbar, and since the water level was up to my mother's chest last time, it seemed scary for them, so we booked a course that matched the low tide.

Thanks to that, the water level was below our knees, and the weather was great, allowing us to have a wonderful time.

We also got to see sea turtles and enjoyed snorkeling around the coral with my daughter.

The tour staff were very friendly and took photos for us. If there's another opportunity, I would definitely like to participate again.

母と娘と３人で参加させていただきました。
母と娘はサンドバー２回目の参加で、前回は水位が母の胸くらいまであり怖かったようなので、干潮時間に合うコースを予約しました。
その甲斐あって水位は膝下、天気も良くて素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができました。

海亀にも会えて、珊瑚の周りを娘と共にシュノーケリングも楽しめました。

ツアースタッフの方も笑顔いっぱいで、写真を撮っていただいたりしました。
また機会があれば、是非参加したいです。

I participated with my sixth-grade and third-grade boys. Since it was their first time, they were nervous and scared, but it seems they enjoyed it. I took motion sickness medication, so I didn't get seasick. However, it was a bit disappointing that the weather was cloudy. The local staff hardly spoke any Japanese. They mentioned it was cloudy and cool, and it was indeed cool. I think it would be hot if the weather were nice. I would like to participate again.

小学生6年と3年の男の子を連れて参加しました。二人とも初めてだったので、緊張していましたが、怖がっていましたが、楽しめたようです。酔止めを飲んで参加したので、船酔いはしませんでした。ただ、天気が曇りだったので、そこだけが残念でした。現地の係の方は日本語はほとんど通じません。曇っていて、涼しいと言ってました。確かに涼しかったです。天気がいいと、暑いと思います。また参加したいです。

I had been to the North Shore several times by rental car, but this time I joined the tour because some members were anxious about driving and I wanted to try beach horseback riding.

We left our hotel in Waikiki a little after 8 AM and returned by 3:30 PM, making it a convenient plan. Our driver guide, Hiro, provided a wealth of local information along the way and took us to various hidden gems, making for a fulfilling tour that I was very satisfied with!

For horseback riding, I got to ride well-trained horses and we strolled for just under an hour through the beach and forest. The weather was great, and we were able to enjoy a leisurely flow of time.

ノースショアは何回かレンタカーで行ってはいましたが、今回は運転に不安なメンバーだったのと海辺乗馬にもトライしたくて、このツアーに参加しました。
朝８時過ぎにワイキキのホテルを出て３時半にはホテルに戻る時間的にも楽なプランで、ドライバーガイドのヒロさんが、道中でも現地でもローカル情報を盛りだくさん折り込んで次々と穴場へ連れて行って下さり、凝縮されたツアーに大満足でした！
乗馬はしっかり調教された馬達に乗せてもらいビーチや森林を1時間弱散歩。天気も良くゆったりと流れる時間を過ごす事ができました。

The flair show you usually see is on a completely different level of intensity. It was disappointing to have a lot of waiting time after entering. I wish there had been a bit more time to enjoy the meal.

普段見るフラショーとは迫力が格段に違います。
入場してから、待ち時間が多かったのが残念です。もう少し食事を楽しむ時間があればいいなと思いました。

easy going guys with a great trip out to sea. at no time did I feel unsafe. being in the cage was great. we would have seen up to 15 sharks. I would recommend doing this tour.

I was scared to see in the photos that people were flying with relatively light gear, and I was quite nervous about flying with light equipment myself. However, it turned out to be surprisingly stable...!!! For those who are afraid, I recommend trying the 150m jump with confidence. There are views there that you won't experience anywhere else.

The crew member was playful and funny, and later when I bought the SD card (make sure to ask if photos are okay in advance!), I was amazed to see how well the pictures turned out despite the boat rocking so much.

The SD card with photos was $30, and I gave the guide a $20 tip when disembarking. I think it's a good idea to have cash prepared.

写真で結構軽装備で飛んでいるのを事前に見ていて怖かったのですが
実際軽装備で飛ぶまで結構怖かったのですが
・・・・意外と安定している・・・！！！
怖がっている方、安心して１５０ｍをおすすめします。
体験したことない景色がそこにありました。

船員さんがお茶目で面白い、と思いきや、後から買わせていただいた
SDカード（事前に写真OK！って言ってくださいね）
見てみて、あんなに揺れてる船の上から撮ってるのにめっちゃ写真撮るの上手い・・・と驚愕しました。笑

写真入SDカードが３０ドル
ガイドさんに下船時チップを２０ドル渡しました。
現金を用意しておくと良いと思います。

I checked the low tide times during my stay and chose a day when the tour coincided with low tide. Unfortunately, it was a day with a low tide of 0.9 feet, so the water was only knee-deep, but there were no waves, and both my elementary school-aged children and my one-year-old had plenty of fun playing. The sandbar was incredibly beautiful, and I was truly moved! My one-year-old daughter and I waited on the boat during snorkeling, but the staff supported my son. The hamburgers on the boat were delicious, and our cheerful guide was the best! It was a very satisfying day!

滞在期間中の干潮時間を調べてツアー時間と干潮時間がかぶる日を選んで行きました。残念ながら0.9feetの日だったためひざ下くらいでしたが波もなく小学生と1歳の子どもたちもたっぷり遊べました。初めてのサンドバーはとにかく綺麗すぎて感動しました！シュノーケリングは私と1歳の娘は船で待機でしたが、スタッフの方が息子をサポートしてくださりました。船上でのハンバーガーも美味で、陽気なガイドさんがまた最高でした！大満足な1日でした！

The water level at the sandbar was up to my waist, but it was beautifully clear and I was truly impressed. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and I was very satisfied! On top of that, at the diving spot, I was able to swim with sea turtles. Although it rained on and off that day and there was some wind, I was told that the diving spot wasn't very clear, but I was still able to play with a lot of fish, and it was really fun. Also, the personality of the instructor was absolutely wonderful.

サンドバーでの水位は腰あたりまでありましたが、十分綺麗で感動しました。
お昼のハンバーガーも美味しくて、大満足！その上、ダイビングポイントでは、ウミガメと一緒に泳ぐこともできました。当日、雨が降ったり止んだりと風もあったので、ダイビングポイントはあまりクリアではないとのことでしたが、たくさんの魚とたわむれることができて、本当に楽しかったです。あと、インストラクターの方の人柄が最高に良かったです。

I tried parasailing for the first time in Hawaii. I participated with my uncle and aunt in their 60s, and we were able to do it together as a group of three. When we took off, the weather was bad and the scenery was gloomy, but we still had a great time. The tour guide was also a fun person, and the bright atmosphere lifted everyone's spirits.

初めてのハワイ でパラセーリングに挑戦しました。60代のおじと、おばと参加し、３人で一緒にできました。私たちが飛び立った時、お天気が悪くて、景色はどんよりしていましたが、それでも十分楽しめました。
ツアーのガイドさんも楽しい方で、明るい雰囲気でみんな気分も上がっていました。

I participated in the morning tour on June 26. The sandbar was cloudy, and the water level was up to my waist, which was disappointing. However, after leaving the sandbar, it gradually cleared up, and I was thrilled to encounter a honu popping up from the deep blue sea.

My husband, who cannot swim, was encouraged to try snorkeling, and he looked genuinely happy to see the underwater world for the first time in his life! The hamburger for lunch was also delicious, and I am grateful to all the staff.

I especially want to thank the Japanese female staff member who was on board; her bright and fun personality was truly wonderful. Thank you! I would like to use your services again.

6月26日の午前のツアーに参加しました。
サンドバーは曇っており、腰辺りまで水位があった為、残念でした。が、サンドバーを出発すると、徐々に晴れてきて、真っ青な海から顔を出すホヌに遭遇出来て嬉しかったです。
泳げない主人に、シュノーケリングを勧めて下さり、人生で初めて海の中を見れた主人は本当に嬉しそうでした！！
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しく、スタッフの皆さんに感謝しております。

特に同乗していた日本人女性のスタッフの方、明るく楽しい性格で、本当に素敵でした。
ありがとうございます！
また利用したいと思っています。

There were only three groups that day, so it was nice to have a small number of participants. The 120M plan had quite a height, and the weather was good, so the view was great. When the boat lifted off, I felt a thrill, but surprisingly, it was quite calm up in the sky, allowing me to have a normal conversation with my partner. The two staff members on board were friendly and great at getting everyone excited. They created an SD card with photo data for each participant, and while $30 (or $35 if paid by card) is a bit pricey, the photos turned out beautifully, and since we couldn't take our own from below, I ended up buying it. I wonder if a tip of $10 to $20 is the norm.

その日は３組しかいなかったので少人数で良かった。120Mプラン、なかなか高度はあって天気も良かったので景色が良かった。ふわっと船から舞い上げられるときはスリルを感じたが、意外と空の上でも普通に静かで相方と普通に会話ができるほど穏やかな空間。船上のスタッフ２名も気さくで盛り上げ上手だった。参加者ごとに写真データのSDカードを作成してくれて、30ドル(カード払いだと35ドル)は少々値が張るけど、キレイに撮れているし、下から自分達のは撮れないので買ってしまう。チップは10～20ドルが相場なのかしら。

I participated with my wife.
The location is quite far out on the North Shore, so renting a car is essential.
We don't use Uber, so I'm not sure how frequently it operates in the area.

There were seven participants, including us.
We were the only two Japanese people.

After checking in, there was a briefing for about five minutes, and then we got right on the horses.
The check-in and briefing were all in English, but the content was simple.
It included instructions like which way to pull the reins to steer and to stand up when the horse needs to relieve itself.
Even if you can't catch everything in English, you'll receive a printed notice in Japanese at the beginning, so as long as you memorize that, you'll be fine.

Now, regarding the horseback riding experience, after riding a bit on the ranch, we took a course along the beach.
Since it was along the beach, there was quite a bit of dust kicked up by the horses, and depending on the wind direction, it could get pretty white in front of you.
However, the view of the North Shore from the horse's back was extraordinary and the best part of the experience.

At the rest point, the guide took a lot of photos, leaving us with many memories of the trip.
We were lucky enough to see a rainbow, but unfortunately, the sunset wasn't very beautiful due to a lot of clouds. The guide also mentioned that it was disappointing, but clouds can't be controlled (laughs).

We returned to the office at 7:30 PM.
We were on horseback for a full hour and a half.
Although the accessibility from Waikiki isn't great, the special experience of riding along the beach is something you can't find elsewhere.

As of June 16, 2018, when I printed the voucher from Veltra, it mentioned that the parking lot was at the far left of the arena after entering the main gate, and that the gate should be closed after entering. However, in reality, the entrance to the horseback riding check-in office was at the next gate without entering the main gate.

妻と参加しました。
場所はノースショアのかなり外れの方にあるのでレンタカー必須です。
私たちはUberを使っていないのでこの近辺でUberがどの程度走っているのかはわかりません。

私たち含めて参加者は7名。
日本人は私たち2名だけでした。

受付をすませて時間になると5分程度のブリーフィングを行なってすぐに馬に乗り込みます。
なお受付、ブリーフィングは全て英語ですが簡単な内容です。
方向を決めるには手綱をどっちに引けとか、馬が用をたす時は立てだとか。
またもし英語が聞けそうになくても最初に日本語の注意書きのプリントを渡されるのでその内容を覚えてしまえば大丈夫です。

さて肝心の乗馬体験は牧場敷地を少し乗った後ビーチ沿いのコースを乗りました。ビーチ沿いなので馬が歩くとかなり砂埃が舞うので風向きによっては結構目の前が真っ白なんて事もありました。
でも馬の背からみるノースショアの景色は非日常感を味わえて最高でした。

休憩ポイントではガイドさんが写真をたくさん撮ってくださり旅の思い出がたくさん残りました。
私たちは運良く虹を見ることができましたが、夕日については残念ながら雲が沢山あったのであまり綺麗ではありませんでした。こればかりはガイドさんも残念だけど雲はコントロールできないと言ってました(笑)

オフィスに帰ってきたのは19時30分。
なんとたっぷり1時間30分も馬の背に乗ってました。
ワイキキからのアクセス性が悪いけど、ビーチ沿いを乗馬できるという特別感は他ではなかなか味わえないと思います。

ベルトラさんのバウチャーをプリントした2018/6/16現在、駐車場はメインゲートを入って競技場を左端まで行ったところ、更にゲートは入場後閉めてくださいと記載されていましたが、実際はメインゲートを入らずに次のゲートまで車を走らせたところの入り口(ゲート無し)が乗馬受付オフィスでした。

The scenery and overall experience were amazing!!! The weather was great, and the sea was incredibly beautiful; I didn't want to get off ^ ^ The crew was also kind and attentive, which was nice ^ ^

景色、体感すべてサイコーでした！！！
天気も良く海がかなりキレイで降りたくなかったです^ ^
クルーも親切丁寧でよかったです^ ^
