I wanted to participate in the garden tour, but I was told to switch to another tour due to being over capacity, with no explanation as to why we had to change. It felt like they assumed Japanese people wouldn't complain, and it seemed like they were relying on Japanese individuals who had signed up for private tours. If the price is the same, I think it would be better to book this tour through a major travel company.
The lunch buffet had about seven types of desserts, but four of them were empty. The drinks were also empty. Since we had to eat within a limited time, it might be a good idea to bring a little something to eat yourself.
Overall, I felt that there are many beautiful places to see in Hawaii, and it didn't seem worth it to pay this much money to participate in this tour.
ガーデンツアーに参加したかったが、人数オーバーのため、他のツアーにしてくれと言われたが、なぜ私たちが他のツアーにしなければならないのか、全く説明はなし。日本人は何も文句を言わないと思っているのか、個人ツアーで申し込みをした日本人に頼んでいるように思えたので、同じ値段なら、大手の旅行会社を通してこのツアーに申し込みをした方がいいと思う。
ランチビュッフェは、デザートを含め、7種類ほどあったが、4種類は空。飲み物も空。限られた時間で昼食をとらなければならず、自分で食べるものを少し持って行った方がいいかも。
全体の感想としては、ハワイにはきれいな景色を見れるところがたくさんあるし、これだけのお金を払ってこのツアーに参加する価値はないように思えた。

I experienced parasailing 20 years ago, but perhaps due to my age, fear took over this time...
I took motion sickness medication to prevent seasickness, changed into my swimsuit, and got into the pickup car. However, upon arrival, it was canceled due to strong winds. They smoothly rescheduled for the next day. After that, I also received an email from Veltra, and their quick response was appreciated.
My children had their first experience, enjoying simple English with the fun driver and getting excited about the speed of the boat. We had a great time.
Although the weather affected our plans, I was glad we could experience it safely.
I was worried about falling into the sea, but it was just shallow enough to stand. If I had communicated my concerns about falling in beforehand, it would have been fine. However, there wasn't much thrill.
I also requested photo shooting, and they captured a family photo on one SD card. There were some unique pictures, and I was glad I asked for it. In total, there were about 80 photos.

My 9-year-old child participated, and they were taught kindly, quickly getting the hang of riding the waves. They even took us further out based on their progress, and my child was very satisfied. We will definitely go again next time.
They provide marine shoes, but it's better to bring your own. It might also be good to have a rash guard. I think it's best to be prepared to change quickly.

As shown in the photo, there was no emergence of the sandy beach from the sea, and the water reached up to my knees. Also, it was cloudy and windy that day, and I couldn't help but wonder why it was so cold in Hawaii. While snorkeling may be the main focus, I would like to see tours that are centered around the sandy beach as well.
写真にあるように海から砂浜が浮き出てくるようなことはなく、膝上程度まで海水に浸かりました。又当日は曇りで風もありハワイなのにこんなに寒いのはなぜ、といいような感じでした。シュノーケルがメインなのかもしれませんが、砂浜メインのツアーも企画して欲しいと思います。

What I realized after coming to Waikiki is that the waves are very small. My children (ages 13 and 11) participated, and they were able to stand up on the longboard right away on those small waves. The instructor pushes them from behind, so even kids can ride easily. Once they get on, they can stay up for quite a while. I think they were out there for about 30 to 40 minutes. After finishing, we had to wait about 30 minutes for the bus to arrive, and later I thought that since we stayed at the Sheraton and the location was near the Marriott, we could have just walked back. In the morning, the pickup was also about 30 minutes late. The transportation service was quite unreliable.
ワイキキにきて分かったのは波が非常に小さいということ。
子供(13,11歳)だけが参加したのですが、あの小さな波にロングボード
で一発で立てていました。インストラクターが後から押してくれるので
子供でも楽に乗ることが出来ます。一度乗ると結構長く乗っていられます。
3~40分位やっていたと思います。終わってからバスがくるまで30分位
待たされ、後で考えたら泊まったのがシェラトン、現地がマリオット付近。
歩いて帰れば良かった。朝も30分位迎えに来るのが遅れた。送迎がいいかげんでした。

Wow, wow, wow. This was the experience of a lifetime for me and my family. We really hit the jackpot. Within minutes of leaving the harbor we came across some Humpback whales frolicking with some dolphins - this was breathtaking. We then swam with sea turtles and had an amazing experience with a pod of approximately 50 dolphins. I honestly believe we had luck on our side because we couldn't have asked for a more amazing experience. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and made the tour even more enjoyable. I can honestly say this was the highlight of our holiday and would recommend this company to everyone.

Unfortunately, the sandbar was submerged up to waist height, so we couldn't experience it, but the weather was nice and we had a great time. Interacting with the staff during the BBQ was enjoyable and the food was delicious. Many sea turtles popped their heads up, which excited everyone. It was a truly fun tour where we could enjoy swimming in a fantastic location. Although I'm not a strong swimmer, I was trying my best to swim, but it seemed to the staff that I looked like I was drowning (laughs), and they were worried about me. If I could wish for one thing, it would have been nice to have a bit more fresh water poured on us when we returned from the sea.

Very friendly staff. Check in place is walking distance from my hotel. Since I do get sea sick, I took motion sickness pill an hour before and I didn't eat until it's time to go back to Waikiki beach. Therefore, providing snacks only without meals is perfect for me. They have a guide to swim with us and find turtles and other sea life for us. Our guide even dived to retrieve GoPro for a girl in our group. After snorkeling, they rises their sail and took us to see whales. My 2 teenage boys really enjoyed the activity the whole time.

There is a shuttle service to the hotel (depending on the hotel), and since we were able to return to the hotel by noon, we could plan different activities for the afternoon, making it an efficient and enjoyable experience. We were able to see many sea turtles, and the ocean was very beautiful, so I would like to go again. The only downside was that after getting out of the water, my body was still cold despite drying off with a towel, and the air conditioning on the return bus was too strong, making it very cold (though this may vary by person). I think it's better to prepare warm clothing that can get wet.

All the staff spoke English, but the explanations for the equipment were easily conveyed through gestures, making everything smooth. There were two staff members on the boat who really energized the atmosphere, and it was a lot of fun. Although there is a height requirement when booking, I felt that the height and duration were about the same for every session, so I went with the cheapest option. (laughs) During our session, three out of four groups were Japanese, and we exchanged our own cameras to take pictures. When disembarking, I gave tips to the two staff members. We also tipped the driver for our transfer, but I noticed that other guests did not give tips. The pickup was smooth, and they helped us get on and off the vehicle, so I felt it would be better to give a tip if possible.

I had been curious about ziplining ever since I saw it on TV and in magazines. Finally, during my multiple visits to Hawaii, I got to experience it! My overall impression is that it was just so much fun! We were worried about whether the tour would go ahead due to heavy rain the day before, but we were blessed with beautiful weather and spent a dream-like time surrounded by blue skies, blue seas, and green mountains.
We had an 8:30 AM local meeting time for the tour, but it ended before noon, allowing us to have some time to explore the North Shore afterward, which was great. The check-in and the tour were mostly conducted in English, but even if you can't speak it well, you can manage just fine.
From the meeting point to the zipline base camp, we drove along a pretty bumpy road, which was actually quite fun. If you're prone to motion sickness, you might want to be careful as it can be quite bumpy. The English guide in the car was relentless with his commentary. Occasionally, he would ask questions, and I just responded based on the atmosphere (laughs). There was one Japanese couple in our tour group, but the rest were from Australia, Spain, and other countries. I can hardly speak English, but I was able to enjoy myself even with just a few words. Having a good vibe is important!
There are free lockers at the base camp, so you'll need to store all your belongings there. You can bring your smartphone as long as it doesn't fall out of your pocket. My husband brought an action camera. There are quite a few things to wear, like helmets, which can get pretty heavy, so it's best to keep your belongings to a minimum.
All the participants in our tour were wearing long pants. Since you'll be wearing a harness, it might be uncomfortable if you wear shorts. There were about half long-sleeve and half short-sleeve shirts. As mentioned by others, you might get bitten by mosquitoes, so it might be a good idea to prepare some insect repellent. I was also concerned about sunburn, so I participated in long sleeves.
Going to the seven points felt a bit like hiking, so I recommend wearing sneakers. Since it was the day after rain, the ground was quite muddy.
There was a 10-year-old girl in the family that joined us, and she seemed to enjoy the tour. As long as you're okay with carrying a heavy load and aren't afraid of heights, I think kids can have a great time on this tour.
There were three tour guides with us, but they hardly spoke Japanese. However, they really tried to keep the energy up, so let's enjoy it together! They would say things like "Awesome!!" and "So much fun!" (laughs). The beaches around Waikiki are lovely, but I also recommend the zipline experience surrounded by the greatness of nature. Please have a wonderful time!
テレビや雑誌で見てずっと気になっていたジップライン。何度目かのハワイで念願のデビューを果たしました!
とにかく楽しかった!というのが感想です。私たちは前日警報が出るような大雨で当日も実施するのか・・・と心配していましたが、天気に恵まれて快晴の中青い空と青い海と緑の山に囲まれた夢のような時間を過ごしてきました。
私たちは8:30現地集合ツアーでしたが、お昼前には終わるのでその後にノース方面に遊びに行く余裕もできて良かったです。チェックインやツアー中もほぼ英語の中で進めることになりますが、話せなくても結構なんとかなります。
集合場所からジップラインのベースキャンプまで車で結構なでこぼこ道を進んで行きますが、これがなかなか楽しい。車酔いしやすい人は気をつけた方が良いかも・・・くらい揺れます。車内は容赦のない英語ガイドが炸裂します。時々話題をふられるので雰囲気で答えました(笑)
ツアーには日本人のご夫婦が1組一緒になりましたが、その他はオーストラリア、スペインなど海外の方でした。私は英語はほとんど話せないのですが、片言でも楽しく過ごすことはできました。ノリが大切です!
ベースキャンプに無料のロッカーがあるので、そこですべての荷物を預けることになります。スマホはポケットから落ちなければ持っていっても大丈夫。主人はアクションカムを持っていきました。ヘルメットなど装着するものがとにかく多く、かなりの重さになりますので持ち物は最低限に。
私たちのツアー参加者は皆さん長めのパンツを履いていました。ハーネスを装着するので、ショートパンツだと食い込んだりして痛そうです。長袖・半袖は半々くらいでした。他の方のコメントにもあるように、蚊にさされます。虫除けを準備しておくと良いかもしれません。私は日焼けも気になるので長袖で参加しました。
7カ所のポイントに行くのはちょっとした山登り風ですので、靴はスニーカーがおすすめです。雨の翌日だったこともあって、結構どろどろでした。
一緒になったファミリーには10歳の女の子もいましたが、楽しんで参加していました。重たいものを背負って歩くのが苦でないことや、高所恐怖症でなければお子さんも楽しめるツアーだと思います。
ツアーガイドさんが3人ついてくれますが、日本語はほとんど通じません。でも一生懸命盛り上げてくれますので、ノリで一緒に楽しみましょう!「サイコー!!」「チョータノシイ!」とか言ってくれますよ(笑)
ワイキキ界隈のビーチも素敵ですが、自然の偉大さに包まれたジップラインもおすすめです。ぜひ楽しい時間を過ごしてきてください!!

Fun, Professional & Knowledgeable Crew. New, clean, well maintained boat. They go out of their way to make sure everyone has a good time! We saw turtles and whales. One of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend!

Aloha Yoshi,
Congratulations on your graduation from the prestigious Dolphin University! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time with the dolphins and experienced the nature of West Oahu.
We look forward to your participation again, as there are manta tours on the Big Island that you won't find on Oahu.
Mahalo!!
