Perhaps because it was cloudy, the sea wasn't very beautiful. I checked the low tide times and made a reservation for that period, but it wasn't the sandbar I had imagined. The snorkeling felt more like just swimming, and it didn't have the enjoyment of corals and fish. If the weather had been better, my impression might have been different.

曇りだったためか、海はあまりキレイではありませんでした。干潮時を調べて、その時間帯を予約しましたが、イメージしていたサンドバーではありませんでした。シュノーケリングもただ泳ぐ感じで、サンゴや魚を楽しむという感じではありませんでした。
お天気さえ良ければ、この感想は変わっていたのかもしれません。

This is a wonderful excursion i would not recommend it for small children due to the time frame of the tour cause it is a long tour buf well worth it our tour gudie was knowledgeable and friendly and was on time. the food was excellent.

The weather was nice, and I had no trouble communicating in Japanese with the locals. It was a valuable experience, and I had a great time. The driver who picked us up was cheerful and shared various information like a tour guide.
- If you are prone to seasickness, it's advisable to take medication.
- If you want to have your photo taken with a camera, it costs $30 (cash) for the SD card. Note: Card payments will cost $35.
- I also paid an additional $20 as a tip (of course, this is optional).

天気が良くて、日本人には日本語で話してくれて困ることはなかっです。
貴重な体験なので、楽しく過ごせました。
ピックアップするドライバーが陽気な人で、観光ガイドのようにいろいろ教えてくれます。
・船は船酔いしやすいひとは薬を飲んだよいでしょう。
・カメラの写真を撮ってもらうと、SDカードは30ドル（現金）かかります。
注：カード払いは35ドルかかります。
・別にチップで20ドル支払いました（もちろん任意ですが）。

At the first sandbar, it was beautiful, and I had plenty of time, so I was very satisfied!

I could only see the sea turtles small and far away.

最初のサンドバーでは、きれいで時間も余裕がありとっても満足でした！

ウミガメは、遠くの方に小さくしか見られませんでした。

I had a great time seeing dolphins and turtles with the energetic crew early in the morning! I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication, as you might experience seasickness. I ended up getting seasick and couldn't enjoy the slides in the second half, but my wife had a blast with the other participants. :) There are only the boat or the restroom to change back, so it might be a good idea to be prepared to head back wet.

朝早くからテンションあげあげなクルー達と楽しくイルカ、亀をみれました！
船酔い、波酔いはあると思うので酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいいです。
自分は波酔いしてしまって後半滑り台とかで遊べなかったですが妻が他の参加者の方と謳歌していました :)
帰りの着替えする場所は船上かトイレしかないので濡れたまま帰る準備はあっても良いかもです。

The aerial trapeze while overlooking the city of Waikiki was amazing. The instructor's energy was high, and I had a lot of fun, but aside from the long wait time and the strong rocking of the boat that made me a bit dizzy, it was fantastic.

Waikikiの街を眺めながらの空中ブランコはさいこうでした
インストラクターのテンションも高く楽しめましたが、待ち時間が長く船の揺れもすごくて若干よったことを除けば最高でした。

This was a surprise for my mom and daughter who had never been to Hawaii! It was super easy to order online. Everything went exactly how it was supposed to. It was easy to spot the person holding the sign with our names on it. Excellent job! My mom and daughter were surprised and happy! Thank you!

It was definitely the right decision to go up to 150 meters. The view of Honolulu's cityscape and Diamond Head from the sea was spectacular. The staff and fellow passengers were all very enthusiastic. However, it may not be suitable for those who are prone to seasickness or have a fear of heights.

高さ150mにして大正解でした。
海上から見るホノルルの街並みや、ダイヤモンドヘッドは特別な景色でした。
スタッフや同乗者の方々と大盛り上がり。
ただ、船酔いしやすい方や、高所恐怖症の方には不向きかもしれません。

My friend and I woke up early in the morning and drove ourselves out to Haleiwa for this tour. The sky looked really overcast and were already thinking the worst that the tour would not be great however we were wrong. This is the perfect kayak tour to do on a sunny or even rainy day. Visibility was still clear and when entering into the Turtle River with all the rain, if felt like we were in a National Discovery scene exploring the amazons. We seen so much turtles in the river and so much fishes out in the ocean. It is also a plus that the kayaks are clear ans see through so you can just record and take pictures from inside your kayak instead of risking it out and losing it.

This trip was the first time we have ever been on a submarine and we are glad we did it as it was one of the best experiences of our lives. My boyfriend Daniel and I were booked on the Premium Seats which I definitely recommend as those windows are much larger. The staff members are very knowledgeable and always looking out for your safety. You will first board the ship that will then sail out to take you to the submarine dock. The sail is really beautiful as you get to see Waikiki and diamond head on the way. When loading into the Submarine they ensure that your safety comes first and are very careful about every little details. During the submarine tour we went as deep as 110ft and it was just wonderful. Everything is super blue and you get to see a lot of different varieties of fishes, treasures and coral reefs. Also the guide and captain are super funny so you will definitely enjoy your time.

I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance. Also, since they can only be seen from a distance, I couldn't tell what they were. Apparently, the tail was visible. It seems like having a telephoto lens or binoculars would be a good idea. It might not be an activity you can fit into a short number of days.

酔い止めの薬の事前服用をオススメします。
あと遠くにしか見れないので小さくて私は分かりませんでした。
尻尾が見えたらしいですが。
望遠レンズ、望遠鏡もあったほうが良さそうです。
少ない日数の中で入れるアクティビティじゃないかも。

An American group with a wedding reception vibe, just so cheerful! Unlimited Mai Tais, 4 to 5 cups! I was surprised by the dolphins jumping.

結婚式二次会風のアメリカ人グループ、とにかく陽気❗️ マイタイ飲み放題を4～5杯‼️ イルカのジャンプにはびっくりしました。

I had so much fun! I was able to meet the dolphin teacher right away, and swimming together was incredibly healing. The time flew by, and I wanted to stay much longer. When I come to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate again. And Julie is the best! It was even more fun because I was with Julie. I'll request again!

楽しすぎました〜
いるか先生にすぐ会えて、一緒に泳げて、とーっても癒されました。
あっというまの時間で、もっともっと長くいたかったです。
ハワイにきたときにはまた絶対参加したいです。
そしてジュリ最高！
ジュリとだったからさらに楽しかったです。
またリクエストしまーす！

I think the price is reasonable for the group lessons. Even though it's a group lesson, you can really enjoy it. They also took photos and sold them for just $10, which was great.

グループレッスンのなかでは価格が安いと思います。
グループレッスンとはいえ、ガンガン乗れます。
写真も撮ってくれて10ドルという安価で販売してくれたのが良かってです。

Check-in was at 2:30 PM, so I arrived a bit early, around 2:20 PM, and checked in right at 2:30 PM. However, it felt quite relaxed, as it seemed you could check in anytime between 2:30 PM and 2:45 PM.

The sunset cruise was fully booked a few days in advance, but it seemed like the daytime cruise was okay for same-day reservations. Those who were boarding on the day had paper wristbands on their arms, and there were quite a few of them.

There are restrooms available. The drinks for the daytime cruise were not all-you-can-drink, as stated on Veltra, so I went with that expectation. In reality, the bartender explained things in long sentences in English, which I didn't quite understand, but I heard him mention prices like "beer ◯ dollars" and "Mai Tai ◯ dollars." However, everyone seemed to just tell the bartender what drinks they wanted, giving it a feel of all-you-can-drink.

Tips were being thrown in with $10 and $20 bills. I guess it was implied that while the beer was ◯ dollars, you should tip on top of that? I thought it would be nice if they provided a paper explanation in Japanese at check-in regarding that system. Regulars were already ordering drinks and starting to drink before the explanation.

On the boat, people who didn’t know each other were chatting and having a good time, but if you can’t speak English, you might feel a bit isolated. It seems like it would be more fun with a larger group.

チェックインが14:30なので早めに14:20くらいに着いて14:30ぴったりにチェックインしましだが、14:30〜14:45くらいまでにチェックインすれば良いような緩い感じでした。
サンセットの方は予約で数日前から埋まってましたが、昼の部は当日でもOKのようです。当日受付に言って乗る人たちは腕に紙のリングを巻いてましたが、かなりいました。
トイレあります。
ドリンクは昼の部は飲み放題ではないとベルトラに書いてあったので、そのつもりで乗りました。
実際はバーテンダーが英語で長文で説明されたので良くわからなかったのですが、ビール◯ドル、マイタイ◯ドルとか読み上げてましたが、みんなバーテンダーに飲みたいドリンクを言って飲み放題感覚でした。
チップは10ドル紙幣や20ドル紙幣がガンガン入れられていました。
「ビール◯ドルだけど、チップで入れてね」ってことだったのでしょうか？
あのシステムは日本語にして受付で紙で配ってくれても良いなと思いました。常連さんは乗った時から（説明前）ドリンクをオーダーして飲み始めてました。
船上は知らない人同士も気さくに話し合い盛り上がっていましたが、英語が話せないとポツンとしてしまいます。大人数で乗った方が盛り上がるでしょうね。

Three years ago, I participated in Dolphin University, and I thought that if I could go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to join.

I was moved to see many more dolphins than before. I could hear their calls, and they swam right by me. The snorkeling was better last time, and I feel like I had more photos taken then, but the main focus is the dolphins, so that's okay.

The group of three 66-year-olds was initially anxious, but once they got into the water, they were completely absorbed and having a great time.

３年前にイルカ大学に参加し、またハワイに行けたら絶対参加したいと思っていました。

前よりたくさんのイルカ達が見れて、感動しました。
鳴き声も聞けたし、すぐ近くを横切ったり、
シュノーケルは前のが良かったし、写真も前のがたくさん撮ってもらえた気がしますが、メインはイルカなのでOK

66歳の三人組も、最初は不安がっていましたが１度海にはいると、夢中で楽しんでいました。

we absolutely loved our trip on the Mana Kai Catamaran! Our captain was named Brewski and he made sure that we all had a great time and everybody was safe. Beautiful views, fun vibe, and good people.

Buy a handle of rum and mix it with some fresh Hawaiian juices, mix it up in a huge jug and bring it aboard for everybody to share! you will make friends quick! everyone is on vacation so its a great vibe

When I first got tickets to the Polynesian Cultural Center, I was a little worried since we would be there all day. Would we find enough to do for 9 hours? Yes, yes we could, and one day wasn't even enough!

There were so many incredible activities and performances in all of the different villages, but my favorites had to be Samoa and Hawaii. The presenter for Samoa was not hilarious, but so entertaining, and quite the hottie too! :P I knew Hawaii would be great, how could it not be, but I was blown away by their performances.

We also visited Tahiti and New Zealand, but didn't have time for Fiji or Tonga unfortunately. Next visit! The canoe ride, and the canoe pageant were quite fun, and even the IMAX movie which we chose to see as a break from the walking, ended up being very good! You definitely don't want to miss it!

The food at the luau was so tasty, and I had a LOT of poke. So much poke. Like, pretty much all of the poke was in my belly by the end of dinner. And although I loved the show while we ate, the highlight was definitely the evening Breath of Life show. It was so interesting to see hula and other dances put to a story.

The day was long, but so worth it!

My friend and I had such a totally awesome night at Rock-a-Hula, and want to go see it again! We got the VIP dinner show, and it was fantastic. From beginning to end, we were treated like VIPs, and couldn't have asked for better service, food or entertainment.

The cocktail and appetizer reception before the theater doors opened was a great prelude to our evening, and their original mai tais were really yummy too. So many delicious things to nibble on that I had to be careful and not get too full before dinner! Oh and dinner, salad, steak, lobster and dessert...so.... tasty! Plus our server was so attentive and awesome :)

Our VIP seats go us close to the stage so we had an amazing view of the performance, and man was it awesome! Elvis, Michael Jackson and Katy Perry, all on one stage for a seriously rockin' evening. The woman who played Katy Perry was my favorite! Not only did she look and sound exactly like her, but she was the sweetest person too!

The fire knife dance was scary awesome, and the perfect topper to a great night. Perfect option if you just want a fun time in Waikiki!

It was an exciting and enjoyable evening. I had to make a reservation early for the evening, as last year it was fully booked and I couldn't get in. This time, I made a reservation from Japan and went on my second choice date. Since most of the guests were Japanese, I felt a bit more at ease.

迫力があり楽しい夕時でした。
夕方の予約は早い目にしないといけないので去年は予約いっぱいでダメだったので今回は日本で予約して第二希望日で乗りました。日本の方がほとんどだったので少し安心でした。

I was a bit anxious being alone, but Julie was bright and kind in her response. I had wanted to join a dolphin swimming tour for a long time, but I never had a friend to go with me. This time, I came to Hawaii alone for the first time and decided to participate without hesitation. I was worried about not being able to swim well, not having much experience with snorkeling, and not being young anymore, but my strong desire to see the dolphins helped me get through it. Thank you so much to Julie, of course, to the warm Papa, to Brandon who led us, and to Mele who took beautiful photos!

ひとりで少し不安でしたが ジュリさんが明るく優しく対応してくれました。
ずっ〜と前からイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加したかったのですが中々同行してくれる友人がいなく、今回初めてひとりでハワイに来ることになり、迷わず参加しました。
ほとんど泳げないこと、シュノーケルを使ったことがあまり無い事、そして若く無い事が不安でしたが、イルカを観たい一心で何とかなりました。
ジュリさんももちろん、暖かいパパさん、リードしてくれたブランドン、綺麗に？撮ってくれたメレさん 本当に有難うございました！

We participated as a couple!!
We achieved our long-held dream of swimming with dolphins!
We were able to meet them sooner than we expected, and it was moving.

Once we entered the water, we got to see a pod of dolphins up close!
However, there were many other tour guests, so our watching time was limited.
I wanted to see more, but I was very satisfied!!

In addition to dolphins, there were activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding, allowing us to enjoy the unique scenery of the ocean while having fun.

The staff members were very friendly, and it was enjoyable even on the boat!

I want to participate again next time.

夫婦2人で参加！！
念願だったイルカと泳ぐを達成！
思った以上にすぐに会えて
感動しました。

いざ入水
近くでイルカの群れを見れました！
しかし、他のツアー客も多く
限られた時間でのウォチングでした。
もっと見たかったですが、
大満足でした！！

イルカ以外にも
シュノーケルやスタンドアップパドル等もあり、沖ならではの光景を楽しみながら遊べました。


スタッフの方々がとてもフレンドリーで
船上でも楽しいです！

次回も参加したいです。

This was my third time on the Sunset Sailing Mai Tai Catamaran, and for the first time, I saw other Japanese participants besides ourselves.

Still, the view of Diamond Head from the sea, the refreshing scenery and breeze, and the setting sun were amazing. I think when I go to Hawaii again, I will rely on the Sunset Sailing for my fourth time.

今回で３回目の【サンセットセーリング　マイタイ・カタマラン号】でしたが、初めて自分達以外の日本人が参加しているのを見ました。

それでも海側から見るダイヤモンドヘッドや、爽やかな景色と風、沈んでいく夕日は最高で、またハワイに行った時には４回目のサンセットセーリングにお世話になると思います。

If you've been to a luau before and want to see another dinner show that isn't exactly a luau, this will probably fit the bill. There's plenty of Hawaiian entertainment and a buffet similar to what you'd find at a luau, but generally speaking this is a more "American" dinner show, like one you'd find in Las Vegas.

The featured stars are Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and HIRIE, a local artist, but there are also a variety of dances, including Polynesian and contemporary choreography. Hirie performed some of her own hits as well as newer songs such as "How Far I'll Go" from the movie Moana!

There's also the hula, Tahitian, and fire knife dancing that you'd normally see at a luau, but there's a good balance of traditional and contemporary. This is an awesome alternative if you've already been to the other luaus in Waikiki.

Thank you Hawaiian Parasail for such a an amazing adventure. The staff is great and the photographer took many wonderful pictures for me and my husband. Parasailing in Waikiki is so much fun, what a incredible feeling... the views are awe inspiring. I would for sure do this tour again, this is the best parasaling tour in Waikiki.

This was my second time at Chief's Luau and I got say... i love the new location. The new venue is so beautiful. Chief Sielu is the best luau host in Hawaii, he is funny, entertaining and for sure he is what makes this luau so special. The dancers and the musicians are really good and the fire-knife dance is breath taking. The food is delicious and the buffet has a lot of variety. It was a lovely evening and I recommend this luau to everyone, specially families and couples.

The perfect way to spend our day together! We were booked on the Ultimate package that included the Adventure Tower, Zipline, Kings Swing, ATV & rock climbing. This package is perfect for couples as its all about trusting each others judgement and it could get a little competitive too. The adventure tower took a lot of energy out of us as it did require a lot of upper arm workout however it was defiantly worth it. The off road ATV drive was so much fun! You can either take turns to drive or for 20-30 minutes each. Lastly, for the Zipline we did the full 6 line and we had a blast! The staff members definitely take care of you and make sure you're comfortable before doing any of the activities. I would recommend this tour to anyone honestly. Young or old, either way I'm sure everyone will enjoy this full day tour!

I had a blast with Dolphins & You, the cruise was fantastic! The crew was fun, prompt, courteous, engaging and entertaining. We saw a lot of dolphins and they were swimming right next to us. What an amazing feeling it is to be so close to such lovely creatures.
The west side coast is so beautiful, the mountains and the ocean... every where you look you makes you want to take pictures! The snorkel part was also great and for lunch we had a delicious burger.
The boat is so much fun, when they stop on the second snorkel location you also have the chance to play with the water toys, they have water slide stand-up paddle and kayaks.
Even though it might seem like the west coast is far away from Waikiki, it's totally worth the trip. This tour has free pick-up from most of Waikiki hotels and the snorkel spots are much better than the ones in Waikiki. I highly recommend this dolphin cruise to everyone!

I bought a private lesson for my 13 year old daughter. It was her first time surfing as we are from Colorado. She had her own instructor who provided great instruction and having 1 on 1 instruction helped us both to feel safe. The lesson came with a tshirt and pictures of her lesson which I thought was a great deal. My only complaint was that the adults in the group lesson often got in front of her so she had to sit down to avoid hitting them. They go over this in the beginning of the overall lesson so I don't blame the school, just maybe a reminder in the water would have been helpful. Overall it was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend.

It was my day off and kids were at school so I figured, why not do a "me" just for a day! I invited my friend to join me since she happened to have the same day off. We booked the Morning Cruise at 7:00am since the water is usually warmer and calmer, and we decided to drive ourselves to the harbor. What's good is that there is a restaurant at the harbor where you can buy coffee or breakfast before heading out.

Upon check-in, we were already given our snorkeling equipments, and an option to rent their body suits, which we rented for $10 each. They asked us to sign the liability waiver, and I think' it's cool that they even take your instagram information so they can tag you photos (if you're in it) that they upload at the end of the tour.

The staff and crew are very funny and entertaining! As we were heading out to the ocean, they peformed Polynesian dancing, and playing ukulele. They also performed traditional Hawaiian prayer for our safety. As we were getting closer, we could already see the pod of dolphins, af the signal from the crew members, we jumped to the water and started to swim with these beautiful dolphins!!! I never swam with dolphins in the open water before and this was really exciting!! There were lootsss of them!!

We hopped back on to the boat for our next snorkeling location and that before jumping in the water again, we were given some activity options to take such as stand-up paddle boarding, canoe ride, water slide, and many more!! It was just an awesome experience!!
Their lunch burgers were delicious too which were served as we were headed back to the harbor. It was long day but it was all worth it!!

Oh by the way, make sure to take seasickness pills if you get nauseous easily!
