It started with a great day, very little wind which made the water very calm. Boat rode out was smooth, and finally arriving to the cage we were immediately greeted with sharks, and not just any sharks but 3 TIGER SHARKS!!. I know that TIGERS are rare for the area but the fact that 3 were there for the entire dive was amazing. The crew were awesome in ensuring that everyone was calm and answered any questions. I definitely recommend and would love to dive again

To be the first time snorkeling for the whole family, it was amazing. We had the opportunity to be only party that day so we practically had a private tour the whole boat for ourselves. My husband and girls had the best time ever.
The whole crew took good care of us 6, one of them stood in the water the whole time making sure we were ok. They provided refreshments and ensured we were ok throughout the whole trip.

We took the bus from our hotel in Waikiki to Kewalo Basin. We went on a fishing experience for about three hours on the Sashimi No. 2. We were the only Japanese people on board, along with about 20 others. There were three staff members, including the captain. They handled everything, including tangled lines and lost hooks, which made it easy for us. The bait was frozen squid. About 30 minutes in, we caught a fish that was around 20 centimeters long. The smell of the frozen squid was overwhelming, but it was a very enjoyable time.

ワイキキのホテルからザバスでケワロ湾へ。
サシミ2号にておよそ3時間の釣り体験に行きました。
日本人は私達だけで、20名ほどの方が乗られていました。
スタッフはキャプテンを含めて3名。
糸が絡んだり、針が取れたりしてもスタッフの方が全て対応してくれるので楽でした。
エサは冷凍のイカ。
開始30分ほどで20センチくらいの魚が釣れました。
冷凍イカの匂いに酔いそうになりましたが
とても楽しい時間でした。

I was anxious about riding a horse suddenly, but the horse was smart, and I was able to ride comfortably. The magnificent Kualoa Ranch and the beautiful ocean were just amazing.

One small disappointment was that we couldn't understand English, so we couldn't grasp everything the staff was saying. However, I am grateful to the horse and the staff for doing their best to guide us.

If we can go to Hawaii again, this is definitely a tour I would like to experience once more.

いきなりの乗馬で不安でしたが　馬さんが賢くて　安心して乗って行けました。壮大なクアロアランチ、きれいな海　もう最高でした。
　少し残念なのは　自分達が英語を理解出来ずスタッフの方がいっぱい話してくれた事も理解出来なかった事。
　でも　そんな私たちを精一杯引っ張ってくれて馬さんとスタッフの方に感謝です。
　次回もハワイに行けたら是非再度行きたいツアーです。

An amazing experience for everyone who loves differennt hollywood movies and series! You can see film locations, props and even Godzillas foodprint :O My guide Lani was awesome an thought us a lot about the Hawaiian culture, the film sets and her hollywood husbands Chris Pratt and Dwayne Johnson ;) Lani was a really fun guide with a lot of knowledge and funny jokes!

The water in Waikiki beach is so clear, you can see so much from above. You also get awesome views of the city strip and Diamondhead!

Surf bus instructor, Kevin was very informative- he gave us info to places that we must see and foods/places to eat at.
Enjoyed snorkeling wish we would of seen turtles though. Kayaking time was limited we had to go back to the bus to head back to Waikiki. We did get to visit the small towns on our way to North Shore that grows fresh vegetable and fruits, I think the two stops caused us to use up time on the water activities.

We had a great time! The crew was friendly and knowledgeable, the boat was great. We saw lots of turtles and fish. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, this would be worth the time!

The tour was absolutely amazing. Guides were both friendly and knowledgeable, and the sharks came in great numbers.

Be aware that staying in the cage takes a bit more effort than you think, but everyone on our trip managed just fine.

Bring a bag for your phone so you can take some underwater pictures.

The crew was wonderful! We saw dolphins on the way out there which was a nice addition to the shark tour. When we got out to the cage we were met by about 8 sharks that stuck around the entire time we were in the cage. When we were about to leave we were able to get back into the cage because a tiger shark had approached so we got a look at her for a bit.

What an amazing adventure. It was both of our first time but the crew was absolutely amazing. Completely explained all the safety instructions and what to do to provide the most breathtaking experience. Get the pictures they are amazing and allows you to concentrate on the experience and not worry about fumbling with a camera. Will definitely take another trip the next time out. Tipping not required but afterwards you want to show your gratitude for the experience they provide. Thank you for everything

Great tour guide. Informative and amazing scenery. Only downside is the tour description wasn't very clear and it actually doesn't go through the valley. We ended up doing the movie sites tour after the jungle tour because we were so disappointed and didn't want to leave before going through the valley.

We participated as a group of four. When we arrived at the reception, we were shocked to find that there was no reservation under our name. Upon investigation, we discovered that although we had received a confirmation email, our reservation had somehow been changed the day before, and the day of the event was fully booked. Initially, we were told that we could not participate.

However, they made various adjustments for us and created a private group for just the four of us, resulting in a very enjoyable experience with three instructors dedicated to us. It was our first time zip-lining, but there was no fear, and including the trial run, we enjoyed eight lines so much that we lost track of time.

Please note that the instructions were given in quite fast English. We had someone in our group who was fluent in English, so it wasn't a problem for us, but there are a few points to be aware of:
- Each time, you start by standing on a small platform while the instructor prepares you.
- Do not touch the wire.
- At one point, just before the finish, if you feel like you are about to stop, grab the red rope at the instructor's signal (grabbing it beforehand will activate the brake).

4名で参加しました。受付にいくとまさかの予約がないという状況でした。
調べていただいたら、事前確認メールもきていたのになぜか前日に変更されており、もう当日は予約でいっぱい。最初はもうできないと言われました。

しかしながら、色々と調整してくれて、我々４人だけのグループを組んでくれて、結果インストラクター３名を独占する形でとても楽しい経験ができました。
ジップラインは初めてでしたが、怖さもなくトライアルの１本含めて８本時間が経つのを忘れるぐらい楽しめました。

なお、英語はかなり早く、我々は同伴者に英語が堪能な人がいたので問題なかったですが、いくつか気を付ける点があるのでご注意ください。
・毎回最初に小さい台の上に乗ってインストラクターに準備してもらう
・ワイヤーはさわならい
・途中からですが、ゴール直前で止まりそうになったら、インストラクターの合図で赤いロープをつかむ（その前につかむとブレーキかかってしまう）

I rode a horse for the first time in my life, and it seemed very well-trained, so I didn't feel scared at all! The sea and mountains were incredibly beautiful, and time flew by in nature. Just looking back at the photos I took brings back such joyful memories.

During the drive to the North Shore, the local guide shared fascinating stories in Japanese about Hawaii's development history and geographical features! They even listened to traffic updates on the radio and planned the best route, making it a very meaningful experience!

Now, I want to go on the canyon plan next.

生まれて初めて馬に乗りましたが、とてもよく調教されているようで
怖い思いをすることが全くありませんでした！
海も山もとてもきれいで、自然の中で時間があっという間に過ぎました。
撮った写真を見返すだけで楽しい気持ちが思い出されます。

ノースショアまでの車内も、現地のガイドさんが日本語で
ハワイの発展の歴史や地理的特徴など
ずっと興味深い話をしてくれました！
しかもラジオの交通情報を聞いて最適なルートを考えてくれたりと
とても有意義な時間が過ごせました！

次は渓谷プランに行きたくなりました。

I had the best time! All three tours were so much fun and the tour guides were super helpful and had many jokes which I appreciated a lot! This is definitely an activity you should wear closed toe shoes for as there are some small/ short hikes involved and if it rains like it did for me (which was okay because it still worked out perfectly) there will be quite a bit of mud so make sure you have on a pair of sneakers/trainers so that you can enjoy it as much as I did.
The tour guides were all super sweet and helpful and they make sure you’re comfortable and make you feel like Ohana:)

Disappointed that the falls was not flowing, but the Luau was great. Learning about the hawaiian culture was interesting. The food was delicious and plentiful. The show was fabulous. You will not be disappointed.

A few years ago, I experienced ziplining in another part of Hawaii and had so much fun, so this time I joined with my friend and her daughter, making a group of four. There were three lines, and I enjoyed the refreshing feeling; it was great. The two staff members, Kiana and Liz, were very charming and cute, providing clear explanations and prioritizing safety.

There were also four other participants, and it was pleasant to communicate with everyone. The location is just a short distance from Kapolei; it's compact but offers plenty of enjoyment. I definitely want to try six lines next time.

数年前にハワイの別のところでジップラインを体験して、とても楽しかったので、今回もお友達母娘と4人で参加しました。3本でしたが、爽快感を味わえ気持ちがよかったです。2人のスタッフ、キアナさんとリズさんはとてもチャーミングで可愛くて、わかりやすく説明して安心安全第一に進めてくれました。
他にも4名の方がいましたが、皆ともコミュニケーションを取られていて心地よかったです。
場所はカポレイからすぐで、コンパクトではありますが、十分に楽しめます。やっぱり今度は6本行きたいとおもいました。

I attended with my wife.
We moved out to sea on a small boat with a total of 16 people, divided into 8 groups of 2, and took turns flying.
It swayed quite a bit, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to seasickness.
I also recommend bringing a GoPro, as you can capture footage while parasailing!

嫁と参加しました。
8グループ×2名の計16名で小舟に乗って沖へ移動し、順々に飛んでいく方式でした。
なかなか揺れるので、船酔いするかたは薬飲んでから行くのをおすすめします。
gopro持って行けばパラセイル中も撮れるのでおすすめです！

The hiking tour was great. The pick-up was smoothly and made everything easier. Hiro was an amazing guide with a lot of knowledge about the plants and history of the island! The lunch was great, the way from the lookout was amazing where you could see the Diamond Head, Waikiki, Pearl Harbour and the airport! Thank you Hiro for an amazing tour!

I had an incredibly fun time. My husband and I are saying that if we can go to Hawaii again, we would love to do it once more. We go out quite a bit offshore, so you can enjoy the feeling of cruising. However, it does get pretty bumpy until then, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're feeling anxious.

The guidance is basically in English, but it's manageable. As others have mentioned, there is a photo sale, but you won't be treated unpleasantly if you politely say no.

めちゃめちゃ楽しかったです。
主人ともまたハワイへ行けたなら、もう一回やりたいねと言っています。
そこそこの沖合にまででますので、クルージング気分も味わえます。
が、そこまでは結構揺れますので、不安な方は酔い止めを服用しておくことをお勧めします。

基本的に英語での案内ですが、なんとかなります。
他の方が書いてらっしゃる通り、写真の販売はありますが、遠慮せずにNOと言っても特に不快な対応をされることはありません。

Was a little nervous because I have never really enjoyed putting my face under water but Amber made me feel relaxed and comfortable. She was knowledgeable and you could tell that she enjoyed her job. Would recommend you tie your hair back so as to keep it out of your face. Had a wonderful experience.

The canyon horseback riding has chosen a coastal course for its renewal. It's the best view while looking at a local beach that's different from Waikiki! The horses are well-trained and very smart.

In a small group, there were two couples, including us, on their honeymoon. The actual experience starts with just a simple lecture before getting on the horses. There’s no practice, just a full-time horseback riding experience!? They will take photos for you, but if you want to capture moments while riding, it's handy to have a strap to hang around your neck.

Also, the horseback riding experience is divided into two sessions. If you make a last-minute reservation, you might be assigned to the second session. The second session makes it a bit tricky to explore Haleiwa, so if you want to enjoy Haleiwa as well, I recommend booking early. If you want to eat garlic shrimp without waiting, the first session might be better!

Since I had a packed schedule afterward, I got dropped off near Ala Moana. The driver, Kaz, was very helpful. I had a wonderful experience!

Next time, I want to participate in the canyon horseback riding. Thank you!

渓谷乗馬がリニューアルのため海辺のコースを選択しました。ワイキキとはまた違ったローカルなビーチを眺めながら、最高の景色です！
良く調教された馬ちゃんで、とってもお利口です。
少人数のグループで、私達も含めハネムーナの2組。
実際の体験は簡単なレクチャーだけで乗馬スタートです。
練習などはなく、フルタイム乗馬体験！？
写真も撮ってくれますが、乗馬中を撮影したいなら、首から下げたストラップがあると便利です。
また、乗馬体験は入れ替えの2部制です。予約がギリギリだと2部にまわされます。
2部だと、ハレイワの町の散策がビミョーなので、ハレイワも楽しみたい人は早めの予約をオススメします。
ガーリックシュリンプを待たずに食べたい人は1部の方がいいかも！

次の予定がつまっていたので、アラモアナの近くで下車させてもらいました。
ドライバーのカズさんも色々とお世話になりました。とても良い体験ができました！

次回は渓谷乗馬に参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。

It was great that there were staff members who spoke Japanese to assist with the activities. Everyone was friendly, and we had a lot of fun participating in the activities.

アクティビティの対応してくれるスタッフは、日本語が通じる人がいてよかったです。それにみんなフレンドリーで楽しくアクティビティができました。

It wasn't a huge school, but I was able to see various tropical fish. I was excited to catch a glimpse of a sea turtle, even if just for a moment! I was satisfied with my first submarine experience.

大群！という訳では無かったでしたが、熱帯魚が色々見られました。一瞬でしたが、海亀も見られて興奮！初の潜水艦体験として満足しました。

The experience was amazing. The staff was not only helpful, but funny in a way to make zip lining cool. Johnny Depp and John Lennon were the best

Amazing views and customer service. Would definitely do it again.

The view of Honolulu from Diamond Head and the hotel we stayed at was absolutely wonderful. They say you can enjoy similar scenery in Okinawa, but I highly recommend experiencing it in Hawaii.

The meeting place was easy to find, and we didn't get lost on our way there. Since the instructions mentioned to arrive 30 minutes early, we went ahead and got there early, but ended up waiting about 40 minutes as the previous group was still preparing to board. (Someone from the same group arrived even earlier than us.)

The tour company's service was good, but I thought the information on Veltra was a bit unhelpful. They mentioned that photos would cost $40, so when they asked if we wanted to take them, I declined and didn't take any. The tour company only communicates in English and does not provide support in Japanese.

ダイヤモンドヘッドや宿泊してるホテルなど、ホノルルを一望できてとても素敵でした。
沖縄でもできる、といいますが、ハワイの景観を楽しめるので、おすすめです。

集合場所はわかりやすいです。あまり迷子にならず到着できました。
集合時間が30分前に来るよう記載があったので、早めに行ったら、前のグループの乗船準備中で40分ほど待ちました。（同じグループの別の方は私達より更に早く来ていました。）

催行会社の対応は良かったけれど、veltraの記載が不親切かなと思いました。
写真は40ドルと話していたので、撮る？と聞かれたときにいらないとお伝えし、いただきませんでした。
催行会社は英語のみで、日本語対応はありません。

We had a great time, celebrated our anniversary! The family that hosted the luau was wonderful and we were impressed with every aspect of the luau. If you are staying on Waikiki beach, be prepared for an hour drive to get there. We didn’t account for that length of time so we didn’t get to appreciate the hiking available beforehand.

We enjoyed this so much. It took a couple hours to calm down from the excitement of being so close to majestic sharks. Our guides were so friendly and provided a lot of information and guidance. We felt very safe during the entire experience. We also had enough time to enjoy the sharks and it never felt rushed. We saw about 10 sharks that swam calmly around the cage. We were lucky to see some dolphins on the trip back too!

Got me up on a wave and I'm an old fart so I would say a win overall!
