Oahu
What a terrific experience! The crew were excellent; fun, and relaxed, they allowed us to sit in the net of the boat (some don't!). The music was great, too. We would definitely go sailing on Na Hoku 2 again!
I was worried about seasickness and hesitated to sign up, but with a friend's recommendation from last year, I took motion sickness medication and participated. It was amazing. The beautiful sunset was definitely worth it, especially with the medication. Thanks to the medicine, I didn't feel any seasickness at all and had a great time.
船酔いを心配して申し込みを迷っていましたが、昨年参加した友人の勧めもあり酔い止めの薬を服用して参加しました。最高でした。とても綺麗なサンセットは酔い止め飲んで参加の価値ありです。薬のおかげか全く船酔いもなく楽しめました。
The view from standing on the sandbar was beautiful, the sea turtles were adorable, and the vibrant tropical fish while snorkeling were all wonderful.
サンドバーに立って見渡す景色の良さ、ウミガメの可愛らしさ、シュノーケリングでの熱帯魚たちの鮮やかさ、どれもとても良かったです。
The weather was nice and the waves were calm, so I attempted three dives and was able to see dolphins twice! The crew's desire for all participants to see the dolphins was wonderful! I want to go again!
お天気も良く波も穏やかで、ダイブ3回挑戦して2回イルカを観ることができました!
クルー全員が参加者全員にイルカを観てもらいたい気持ちが素敵でした!また行きたいです!
I have always wanted to swim with dolphins. On the day of the experience, we were blessed with good weather and were able to see many dolphins! Additionally, there were baby dolphins due to the season. After dolphin watching, we also got to see sea turtles, and it was fun to dance the hula together at the end. It was truly a precious experience (^_^).
Also, for those who have underwater cameras like a GoPro, you can take them snorkeling. I regret not bringing mine because I wasn't sure if I could use it while swimming with the dolphins...
イルカと一緒に泳いでみたいとずっと思っていました。当日、天気にも恵まれ、たくさんのイルカを見ることができました!また、時期的に子イルカもいました。イルカウォッチングのあとはウミガメを見ることもでき、最後にみんなでフラダンスを踊ったのも楽しかったです。本当に貴重な体験ができました(^_^)
あと、goproなど水中カメラを持ってる人は、もってシュノーケリングできます。私はイルカのとき持って入っていいか分からず、持って行かなかったことが唯一の心残りです…
Thank you for participating in the tour this time. We hope you will bring your GoPro next time, and we look forward to your participation again!

Sailing with the wind and no engine noise.
A fun atmosphere with everyone.
We could see both the north and south on the round trip.
It was supposed to be fireworks on Friday, but it was after the cruising.
帆で走りエンジン音が無い。
皆んなで楽しい雰囲気。
往復で南北両方見れた。
金曜日の花火という事だったが、クルージング語だった。
I participated in a plan that included light snacks. I thought it might be a bit short, but the timing was just right for us! For snorkeling, I think going to the very front would have provided a better view. We were able to see sea turtles and manta rays, and it was great to take photos at the sandbar!
軽食付きのプランに参加しました。
短いかなーと思ったけど、私たちにはちょうどいい時間設定でした!シュノーケリングは、一番前方にいく方がきっときれいに見れただろうなー。ウミガメとマンタもみれたし、サンドバーで写真もとれてよかったです!
For our once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, we chose parasailing as our activity! My husband has a fear of heights, but the view was so beautiful that he was completely fine! It seems that he was more impressed, saying, "Wow, this is amazing!" The transportation to the hotel was also very helpful, and what made me happiest was that they took so many photos that we couldn't have captured ourselves and sold them to us! We made the best memories! Thank you very much!
一生に一度のハネムーンで選んだアクティビティはパラセーリング!
旦那は高所恐怖症だったけど、景色が綺麗すぎて全然大丈夫でした♀️!それより「うわーすげー綺麗!」と感動の方が大きかったみたいです(^ ^)そしてホテルまでの送迎もとても助かりましたし、何より自分達じゃ撮れない写真をたくさん撮ってくれてメディアを売ってくれたことが何より嬉しかったです!最高の思い出ができました!ありがとうございました!
Hi,
We are from Sydney Australia here! Just want to say how awesome was the view and also the crew. Our experience was very fantastic. View was amazing, lovely crew and lovely lunch as well. Will definitely be recommending to my friends and family. Till next time!
Cheers,
Marshel
I found the driver/tour guide annoying and condescending. When telling us the time limits he could have scripted better like i.e." we're on a tight schedule and we only have 10 mins on this site so please be back at (state the exact time). He's so full of himself and very scattered with his stories and facts. He didn't even know Hawaii's state bird, he said the white crane. He kept on showing his arm muscles and his jokes were not even funny. He kept on singing, he could just have played any Hawaiian music, he also took jabs at other driver/tour guides.
I realized it as soon as I left the airport. Also, if there are only a few people and it fills up, it will depart quickly, which saves time. I recommend it!
空港を出てすぐにわかりました。また少人数で満席になれば
すくに出発してくれるので、時間が短縮できます。
オススメですよ!
It was very convenient to be able to make a reservation in Japanese! The shuttle came close to the hotel, and I felt reassured because they provided support in Japanese. I would definitely like to use this service again when I go to Hawaii.
日本語で予約できたのでとっても便利でした!
送迎もホテルの近くまできてくださり、日本語で対応していただけたので安心感がありました。ハワイに行く際はまたぜひ利用したいです。
Since my husband was busy, I mostly searched for and decided on the optional tours myself. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from the show; my main goal was dinner. As I researched, I realized that Hawaii is quite expensive. Even a little drink and food at a casual restaurant could easily cost around $50 per person... So, considering the price with the show included, I thought it might be worth it, especially since the reviews were good, and I made the reservation almost on my own.
We chose the most expensive option, the Green Room. First, we were taken to the VIP room, where a beautiful woman welcomed us with a pre-dinner drink and pupu (snacks). Then, Elvis made a grand entrance for a photo opportunity before swiftly leaving, but unfortunately, he didn't resemble him much. While we were waiting, another man appeared to guide us backstage, explaining the dancers' costumes and props as he walked us through the narrow backstage area. I was surprised by how heavy the costumes and props were.
After that, we were shown to our table, right in the front and center. Lobster was already on the table. We enjoyed drinks and the dishes that were brought out one after another. I'm sorry to say that the taste of all the meals, starting from the first pupu, was disappointing (the steak and dessert, the pineapple ice, were delicious).
Once we finished our leisurely dinner, it was showtime. Suddenly, someone descended from above, which surprised us! The Hawaiian show began. The dancers were all handsome and beautiful, and of course, their dancing was wonderful! With Hawaiian music playing, we really felt like we were in Hawaii, and then Elvis appeared again. Michael also made an appearance! He resembled Michael from his childhood (^_^). After a pretty packed show, suddenly a person holding a fire stick appeared. The fire knife dance was truly breathtaking. In the end, everyone waved goodbye with an ALOHA.
To be honest, the impersonators didn't look much like the originals, and some people might not even know who Elvis is, but the performance was fantastic. It was thoroughly enjoyable as entertainment, and I was even more moved since I didn't have high expectations. On our way out, we received the photo with Elvis, and we said goodbye to the performers at the exit. This photo was included, while others had to pay an additional $25, so this package might be a better deal. Furthermore, since we signed up for the monitor experience, we felt like we got even more value.
However, I deducted one star because of the disappointing meal, but I suppose that can be considered part of the Hawaiian experience. My husband, who wasn't very enthusiastic about this tour at first, ended up being more impressed than I was (^_^). For first-time visitors to Hawaii, it's a great way to enjoy the island, and even for those who have been multiple times, it's a wonderful show, so I highly recommend it.
夫が忙しかったため、オプショナルツアーはほとんど私が探して決めました。
正直言ってディナー目的で、ショーにはそれほど期待はありませんでした。
色々調べていると、物価の高いハワイ 。ちょっとしたレストランでちょっと飲んで食べても1人50はいってしまいそう…とするとショー付きでこの金額ならいいかもしれないな〜くらいの気持ちで、口込みの評判が良かった事もありほぼ独断で申し込みました。
私達が選んだのは1番高いGreen Room 。
まずVIPルームに通され、美しい女性に食前酒とププ(おつまみ)でもてなされ、そこへ颯爽とプレスリーが登場し記念写真を撮ってまた颯爽と去って行きましたが残念ながら似ていませんでした。そうこうしていると、別の男性がバックステージの案内に現れて、ダンサーの衣装や小道具の説明をしながら狭いステージ裏を回ります。思いのほか衣装や小道具が重かったのには驚きでした。
それが終わってテーブル席に案内されると、1番前のど真ん中。
すでにロブスターがテーブルに。ドリンクをいただき、次々に運ばれてくるお料理。
ごめんなさい、最初のpupuに始まり全てのお食事の味は残念でした。(ステーキとデザートのパインアイスは美味しかった)
ゆっくりディナーが終わると、ショータイムです。
すると突然上から人がスルスル降りてきてビックリ!ハワイアンショーの始まりです。ダンサーは美男美女揃いで、もちろん踊りも素晴らしい!
ハワイアンミュージックで、ハワイに来たんだ感が盛り上がったところで、さっきのプレスリー登場。
マイケルも登場!子供の時のマイケルに似てました(^_^)
ここまで、けっこう盛りだくさんのショーの後半、突然火の棒を持った人が現れます。
ファイアーナイフダンスは、本当に息を飲む迫力です。
最後に、全員でALOHA〜と手を振りお別れ。
本当のところソックリさんはあまり似ていないし、そもそもプレスリーを知らない人もいるけれど、パフォーマンスは最高です。
エンターテインメントとしては充分楽しめるもので、期待していなかった分余計に感動しました。
帰りに、出来上がったプレスリーとの写真をいただき、出口で出演者たちとお別れ。
この写真は、他のコースの方達は別に25払っていたので込み込みのこちらの方がお得かもしれません。
さらに、私達はモニター体験で申し込んだので、お得感倍増です。
ただ、お食事が残念で星1つマイナスしましたが、それもハワイらしさと思えば良いのでしょう。
初めこのツアーにそれほど乗り気ではなかった夫の方が、私よりも感激していました(^_^)
ハワイ初めての方はハワイを満喫、何度目かの方も素晴らしいショーを堪能できるのでおススメです。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We appreciate your valuable feedback. We would like to work on improvements as a team for future challenges. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。貴重なご意見、有難うございます。今後の課題として、スタッフ全員で改善に取り組みたいと思います。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
Although a very long day on the bus and limited stops due to narrow roads and busy traffic, when we were able to stop at certain locations it was absolutely breathtaking.
To really take in the full affect of the drop and photos over the cliff, I would suggest sitting on the left side of the bus if you’re able. Make sure you have a strong stomach, aren’t afraid of heights and able to withstand the winding roads, the photos you capture on this trip are well worth the adventure
I was anxious because I'm not good at English, but it was fine since they spoke to me in broken Japanese! They had consent forms and instructions available in Japanese, so I think it's totally okay even if you can't speak any English. I went flying with my 67-year-old mother at 120 meters, and she was thrilled because it wasn't scary and was just the right height. However, the boat swayed quite a bit! I tend to get motion sickness, so even after taking motion sickness medication, I felt nauseous by the end. If you're prone to motion sickness, definitely take strong medication! They asked each group, "Do you want to take photos?" with a telephoto camera, so if you say no, you won't be photographed. It seemed like you could buy the photos on the way back if you asked. It was written that you could choose whether to land in the water or not, but no one was asked, and everyone landed in the water, which was a bit disappointing. It felt uncomfortable to get into the car while still wet. At the end, they said, "If you had a good time, please give a tip," so everyone was giving $20. I think it's good to prepare that in advance. Since it finishes in the morning, you have the whole afternoon free. The content and schedule were great!
英語が得意でないため不安でしたが、カタコトの日本語で話してくれるので大丈夫でした!同意書も説明書も日本語が用意されてるし、まったく英語を話せなくても大丈夫だと思います。67歳の母と120mで飛びましたが、怖くなく、ちょうどいい高さだと母も大喜びでした。ただ、船はかなり揺れます!私は酔いやすいので酔い止めを飲んでも最後は気持ち悪くなりました。酔いやすい方は必ず強力な酔い止めを!!望遠カメラを持って「写真ハ?トリマスカ?」と一組ずつ聞いてくれるので、ノーと言えば撮られません。お願いすれば、帰りに買うことができるようでした。着水するかどうかは選択できると書いてありましたが、聞かれることはなく、全員着水だったので、ちょっと残念でした。濡れたまま車に乗るのは気持ち悪かったです。最後は「ヨカッタ方はチップをお願イシマース」と言われますので、全員20ドル渡してました。用意しておいたほうがいいと思います。午前で終わるので午後は丸々空きます。内容もスケジュール的にもよかったです!!
We had an amazing time on our sunset cruise!! The crew was very accommodating and we appreciated the thoughtfulness to take care of our family as we are traveling with our 91 year old father. He had a wonderful time as well!!! Definitely will do it again! Loved the sunset!!
I arrived on a domestic flight from Kona with no Japanese passengers on board. I was a bit confused about the luggage pickup area, but I was happy to be welcomed by two staff members holding a name placard.
When I got to the condo, I thought I had passed it a little, but it seemed like it was a difficult place to park. After unloading my luggage, they kindly asked if I knew where the entrance was.
日本人が一人も乗っていないコナからの国内便で到着。荷物のピックアップ場所は下って下ってちょっと迷いましたが、名前のプラカードを持ったスタッフさんが二人でお出迎えしてくれたので嬉しかったです。
コンドに着いて、少し通り過ぎたなーと思ったんですが、車を停めるのが難しい場所だったらしく、荷物を降ろしてくれたあとに、入り口わかる?と心配してくれました。
I signed up for this tour because I wanted to see the Hilton Hotel's fireworks from the sea. Not only did I enjoy the fireworks, but I also got to experience the sunset.
There was quite a bit of time between the meal and the fireworks, so I relaxed while drinking coffee.
The taste of the food was average, nothing special but not bad either.
ヒルトンホテルの花火を海上から見たくて、こちらのツアーに申し込みをしました。
花火だけでなく、サンセットも楽しめました。
食事をしてから花火までの間、けっこう時間があったので、コーヒーを飲みながらゆったりと過ごしました。
食事の味は、可もなく不可もなくといった感じでした。
アロハ!Veltraを通じてアトランティスアドベンチャーツアーをご予約いただきありがとうございます。
Aloha! Thank you for booking an Atlantis Adventures tour through Veltra.
I participated because I could drink alcohol and the prices were cheaper than others. The drinks included Mai Tai cocktails and canned beer. We went quite far out and were able to see the sunset. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea is amazing! Since it's all-you-can-drink, I could drink without hesitation. Next time, I want to join on a Friday.
お酒が飲めて、料金が他より安いので参加しました。アルコールは、カクテルのマイタイと、缶ビールでした。けっこう沖まで行って、夕日を見ることができました。海から見るワイキキや、ダイヤモンドヘッド最高です!飲み放題なので、遠慮なく飲めます。今度は、金曜日に参加したいですね。
This whole show was amazing and I know I will go back again it was so worth it. If I'd not seen the originals it would be great but having seen them this was absolutely awesome and so much like the originals
We boarded the boat and set off.
The boat sways quite a bit when the waves are high, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to getting seasick.
The sky was pleasant, and I enjoyed the scenery.
I was a bit scared and chose the 90-meter option, but I should have gone for the 150 meters.
ボートに乗り込み、出発しました。
波が高いとボートは結構ゆれるので、乗り物酔いしやすい方は酔い止めの薬を飲んでおく事をお勧めします。
上空は気持ちよく、景色も楽しめました。
怖いかなと思い、90メートルの選択をしましたが、150メートルにすればよかったです。
At first, I was anxious because there were no Japanese people around, but the staff explained things in Japanese here and there, which made me feel at ease. It was my first time parasailing, so I was quite nervous, but it was fun. I think those who are prone to motion sickness should take some anti-nausea medication. When I looked down from 120 meters, it was a bit scary, but looking far away, the view was amazing and felt great!
最初日本の方が1組もおられず不安でしたが、スタッフの方が所々日本語で説明して下さり安心しました。
パラセーリング自体は初めてだったので不安ばかりでしたが楽しかったです。酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいと思いました。
120メートルにして、下を見たら少し怖かったですが遠くを見るとすごく眺めが良くて気持ちよかったです!
The weather was nice, and sailing on the cobalt blue water was refreshing. We were cruising at about 10 knots, and since it was a catamaran, the ride was stable. I made a reservation in advance in Japan, and the information was accurately conveyed on-site.
天気も良くコバルトブルーの水面を帆走するのは爽快でした。10ノットほどの速度で疾走しますが、双胴船なので安定的な走りでした。日本での事前予約しましたが現地に正確に情報が伝わっていました。
I participated with half expectations, thinking that I might not definitely see dolphins, but I was moved to encounter so many dolphins. I was able to see both dolphins and turtles, and I thoroughly enjoyed the clear sea. I highly recommend this tour.
必ずイルカに会えるというものではないと期待半分で参加しましたが、たくさんのイルカたちに出会えて感動しました。イルカもカメも見られ、透明な海を満喫できました。このツアーはおすすめです。
Aloha, Saki,
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. We are all very happy that you were able to experience something unique to Hawaii. We look forward to the day we can meet again.

Aloha, Saki様
この度はイルカ大学にご参加くださり有り難うございました。
ハワイならではの経験をしていただけてスタッフ一同嬉しい限りです。
またお会いできる日を楽しみにしております。

We were there as advised but waited a long time for others who were on their phones and then waited a long time for a shuttle bus to take us to Waikiki,
I encountered many wild dolphins. There was plenty of time for snorkeling, and I was able to gaze at the dolphins to my heart's content underwater. It was a happy time.
たくさんの野生のイルカに出会えました。シュノーケリングの時間もたくさんあり、海の中で心ゆくまでイルカを見つめていられました。幸せな時間でした。
Parasailing lasts about 5 minutes. The view is amazing.
You will definitely get wet as you are dropped into the sea for photos. It's not scary.
If you're worried about seasickness, it's better to take medication.
I usually don't get seasick, but I felt completely nauseous.
It's fine while you're parasailing, but be careful as you might get seasick when other guests are parasailing.
There will be a camera shoot on the day. You can get around 70 photos for $30, and you'll also receive a 512MB SD card.
パラセーリングは約5分程度。景色最高。
写真撮影のために海に必ず落とされるので濡れる。怖くはない。
船酔いが心配な人は薬を服用した方がよい。
酔わない方だけど完璧に酔った。
パラセーリング中はよいが、ほかの客がパラセーリングしている時は船酔いする可能性があるので注意が必要。
当日カメラ撮影がある。$30で70枚弱撮ってもらえる。SDカード512mbごともらえる。
We were greeted as soon as we arrived and the lei is still looking well after a few days. Our greeter took pictures and it was a nice way to have anyone who visits Hawaii (especially for the first time). I was hoping for a fuller lei and I'm glad I got my friend the deluxe one since it I thought that it would have been fuller but the lei itself was not as full as I thought it would be. I would not be excited to see the less lei.
The greeter herself. was wonderful! She even offered us help with our bags and walked us to the baggage claim.
Aloha Diana! Thank you for taking the time to review your lei greeting! Your greeter, Marlyn, was happy to have assisted you and your friend. She did inform us of your dilemma, but I can confirm the Classic Orchid Lei was made as ordered. Hopefully the next time, we can provide you with the Deluxe Orchid Lei Greeting, or, we can also ship to lei nationwide. Please give us a call, and we will be more than happy to assist you! Have a wonderful vacation to the two of you!
Mahalo Nui! ~Jesse I.~
In the end, I couldn't see anything at all, neither shadow nor figure. It seems like they tried their best, but... I received a ticket for the next boat ride, but since it was the last day of my trip, I couldn't use it. The boat was fairly large and not crowded, so I could go out on the deck or sit comfortably in a chair. It felt like a drive on the water in pleasant weather.
結局、何も影も姿も、見ることはできませんでした。
頑張ってくれたみたいですが・・。
次回乗船チケットをもらいましたが、旅行最終日だったので、使えませんでした。
船はそこそこ大きくて、満員でもないので、甲板に出たり、ゆったり椅子に座ったり。
気持ちのよい天気の中、船でドライブ、といった感じでした。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
We are very sorry to hear that you were unable to see any whales on the day of your participation.
If you have the opportunity, please come again.
All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

The night view was more beautiful than I expected. Since it's an all-you-can-drink option, it's cost-effective for those who can drink, but be careful as there are no restrooms. Japanese women are often perceived as looking younger, so they were asked to show ID (passport) when ordering alcohol.
期待した以上に夜景が綺麗だった。飲み放題なので、飲める人にはコスパが良いがトイレはないので注意が必要。日本人の女性は若く見られるのでお酒の注文にはID(パスポート)の提示を求められていた。
