絶景スカイダイビング 一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動!ビデオ&写真撮影付きプランあり by ゴージャンプハワイ<送迎付き>

It was wonderful. 素敵でした

Reviewed by: ドラえもん

It seems that we couldn't ascend to 4000 meters, so there was a partial refund, but we still had a great time. The breathtaking views from above were wonderful and mystical. I was satisfied to have had such a valuable experience.

高度が4000mまであがれなかったようで一部返金がありましたが、それでも十分に楽しめました。上空から見た絶景は素敵すぎて神秘的です。貴重な経験ができた事に満足でした。

ポリネシア カルチャー センター ハワイ最大の伝統ルアウショー!ショーのみまたはビュッフェ・ディナー付きから選べるプラン<送迎付きプランあり>

Full of impact. 迫力満点

Reviewed by: はなち

After about an hour and a half drive from Waikiki, we arrived at the cultural center. We had a meal, moved to another building, and then enjoyed the show. The food was not exactly delicious... it was a bit disappointing. However, the show was fantastic as we got to see various dances. The fire dance was incredibly powerful and moving.

ワイキキから1時間半程車に乗ってカルチャーセンターにつきました
食事をし、建物を移動してからショーを鑑賞しました
食事はお世辞にも美味しいとは言えず・・・。チョット残念でした。
ショーの内容はいろんな踊りを見ることができてすごく良かったです
ファイアーダンスはものすごく迫力があって、感動しました

The fire dance was great! ファイヤーダンス、良かったです!

Reviewed by: N.I

I participated in the Twilight with the standard shuttle service plan. During the day, I went snorkeling, and after a break, the shuttle picked us up at the hotel, which made it very convenient. The guide's stories about Hawaii on the bus were also nice. Since it was the standard plan, I didn't have high expectations for the meal, but I would have liked a few more options. My seat was on the side, but I really enjoyed the show. The final fire dance was impressive. It rained during the show, but there was a roof, so we could watch without getting wet! I went on a friend's recommendation, and I'm glad I participated.

トワイライト、スタンダード送迎付きプランで参加しました。昼間はシュノーケルをして、休憩した後、ホテルまでお迎えが来てくれたので、とても楽でした。バスの中でのガイドさんのハワイにまつわるお話も良かったです。スタンダードでしたので、食事の期待はしていませんでしたが、もう少し品数が欲しかったです。席はサイドでしたが、ショーはとても楽しめました。ラストのファイヤーダンスは迫力です。ショーの途中、雨が降っていましたが屋根がある為、濡れずに見れます!友人の勧めで行きましたが、参加して良かったと思います。

絶景スカイダイビング 一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動!ビデオ&写真撮影付きプランあり by ゴージャンプハワイ<送迎付き>

The service is the worst. サービスは最低

Reviewed by: えのモン

The plan started at 9 AM. We gathered before 6 AM, and everything was finished around 9:30 AM. However, we were left waiting, and we could board the return shuttle only at 12:30 PM, nearly three hours later. There’s nothing around the airport, so we just had to wait idly. It might be fine for those with a flexible schedule, but it’s not suitable for regular tourists. In the end, we ended up returning with a team that arrived before noon, and I don’t understand why we had to wake up early. If possible, it would be better to come by rental car instead of relying on the pickup.

Also, it says that if you don’t reach 14,000 ft, it’s free, but that’s a lie. They use the weather as an excuse (which may be true), and you are made to jump from 8,000 ft, receiving only the difference in price from the 8,000 ft plan as a refund. There’s nothing mentioned about this on the official website of the operating company. Anyway, it’s fine for those who don’t care about the height as long as they can jump, but it’s better not to overtrust the "absolute guarantee" claims.

朝9時スタートのプランでした。6時前に集合し、すべて終了したのは9時半頃。
しかし、それから放置され、帰りのシャトルに乗れたのは3時間近くたった12時30分。空港の周りは何もないのでひたすらボーッと待つだけです。スケジュールに余裕のある人ならいいですが、普通の観光客には不向きです。結局、昼前に着いたチームと一緒に帰ることになり、早く起きた理由がわかりません。可能なら、ピックアップではなくレンタカーで自ら来た方が良いです。
また、高度14000ftに達しなかったら無料と書いてありますが嘘です。天候の理由にして(実際そうかもしれませんが)8000ftからジャンプさせられ、8000ftプランとの差額しか返金しません。催行会社の公式Webにも、そのようなことは一切書いてありません。とにかく、高さは気にしないから飛べればいい、という人はいいですが、「絶対保証」の謳い文句を過信しない方が良いです。

ノースショア(ハレイワ)観光 ハレイワタウンで3時間の自由散策+ドールプランテーション!海辺の絶景を楽しめる乗馬付き(70分)プランあり<1日/送迎付き>

North Shore, a rural town in Hawaii! ハワイの田舎街ノースショア!

Reviewed by: ホヌホヌ

We booked a North Shore free plan for just the two of us. While waiting at the meeting point near the Hilton Hawaiian Village where we were staying, a high-energy guy showed up in the morning. He immediately started cracking jokes typical of Japanese uncles, and since we had just participated in a tour where no Japanese was spoken until the day before, we were relieved to find that we could communicate easily in Japanese.

After picking up guests from other hotels, we set off for the North Shore with a total of about ten people! Throughout the ride, he kept up a machine-gun style of talking (laughs). He shared various things, from the latest trends in Waikiki to the sad history of Hawaii. Apparently, he had been an announcer until recently, so talking was his job. That made sense (laughs).

When he asked if we wanted to take a picture of that famous tree, which costs $3, we took a vote in the car and unanimously decided to pass, saying we weren't interested enough to pay $3. It was very nice that he not only followed the usual route but also listened to our preferences.

Upon arriving at the Dole Plantation, we lined up a bit to buy the classic soft serve. The pineapple flavor was rich and delicious! He also informed us that while there are several shrimp trucks, the ones here are not good, so we ended up going to the famous Macky's. It was incredibly tasty! Sparrows and colorful birds were friendly, and everyone was feeding them rice grains, creating a warm atmosphere.

Since there were also groups for the maze plan and horseback riding, we split off from them. We were on the free plan, so we were dropped off in the town of North Shore where Japanese wasn't spoken (laughs). Feeling a bit anxious, we enjoyed shopping at retro surf shops and other places. The rural side of Hawaii is lovely, quite different from the urban Waikiki.

We had to give up on Matsumoto Shave Ice due to the long line and lack of time. When I asked a kind lady how to get to a recommended beach in my broken English, she advised me, "The nearby beach is next to the harbor, so it's dirty. The beautiful Sunset Beach is a tough distance to walk to."

I regretted not having driven there, but it couldn't be helped. We waited for our cheerful driver and headed to the next destination, a beach where we could see sea turtles. We encountered two sea turtles. Our driver had warned us to stay quiet and not to get too close to avoid stressing them out, so we quietly took pictures with zoom. However, a Chinese tourist stood right in front of a turtle's face, and despite the sand getting on the turtle due to the unstable sand on the beach, they were loudly taking pictures, which was quite upsetting.

It seems that Chinese tourists are the same everywhere, and I find them difficult to deal with. Hawaii is focused on protecting endangered animals like sea turtles, and apparently, there’s a fine for getting closer than two meters. If they feel stressed, they won’t come back to bask on the beach, so those going in the future should be careful not to get too close.

After a fulfilling North Shore tour, the machine-gun talk continued on the way back to Waikiki, and I fell into a deep sleep with that as my lullaby. At first, I thought the free plan was a bit pricey at over $50, but considering the distance we would have had to travel by bus or car, I’m glad we chose the tour. The driver’s stories were sometimes tough to listen to, especially when he was bragging about his daughter, but otherwise, I learned a lot of interesting things and about Hawaii's history. Most importantly, he was friendly and approachable, which was great.

If I ever go to Hawaii again, I would love to visit the North Shore once more. It was a wonderful, nostalgic town that really made me feel good.

夫婦ふたりでノースショアフリープランを予約しました。
宿泊しているヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ近くの集合場所で待っていると、朝からハイテンションなおじさんが登場。思いっきり日本のおじさん的なギャグを連発され、前日まで日本語が通じないツアーに参加していた私達はクラッとすると共に日本語が余裕で通じることに安堵。
他のホテルでもピックアップして、総勢10名程でノースショアへ向け出発!その間ずーっとマシンガントーク(笑)
最近のワイキキでの流行りからハワイの悲しい歴史まで様々なことを教えてくれる。最近までアナウンサーをしていて喋るのが仕事だったらしい。なるほど(笑)
この木なんの木は、撮るのに3$かかるけどどうする?と聞かれ車内で多数決の結果、全会一致で『3$払うほどは興味ないのでパス』となりスルー。こういうふうに、マニュアル通りのルートにただ連れて行ってくれるだけではなく希望をきいてくれるのは非常にありがたかった。
ドールプランテーションに到着し、定番のソフトクリームを少し並んで購入。パイナップルの味が濃くて美味しい!
『シュリンプ屋のバンもいくつかあるけど、ここは不味いよ』とか教えてくれて結局有名なマッキーズへ。
最高に美味しかった!スズメやカラフルな鳥たちも人馴れしていて、みんな米粒を与えたり仲良くしていて和む。
迷路プランや乗馬プランのグループも一緒だったので、途中から別行動。私達はフリープランだったので日本語の通じないノースショアの街に放りだされ(笑)、不安になりつつもレトロな街のサーフショップ等で買い物を楽しむ。
都会なワイキキとはまた違う田舎なハワイもまた素敵だ。
マツモトシェイブアイスは噂通り行列のため時間がなく諦める。
つたない英語でおすすめのビーチへの行き方を尋ねると、『近くのビーチは港と隣接しているから汚い、綺麗なサンセットビーチは歩いて行くのはキツい距離だ』
と親切な婦人にアドバイスされる。
車でくれば良かったか…と後悔したが、仕方ない。陽気なドライバーさんを待ち、皆で次の目的地、ウミガメに会えるというビーチへ向かう。
2匹のウミガメに会えた。
私達はドライバーさんに『ウミガメがいても、ストレスになるので騒いだり近寄ったりしないこと』と注意を受けていたので静かにズームで写真を撮るなか、中国人ツアー客がウミガメの顔面の前ギリギリに立ち、砂浜でバランスが悪いためウミガメの顔に砂がかかっていても気にせずギャーギャーと写真撮影をしていて気分を害す。
やはり中国人観光客はどこにいても同じで苦手だ。
ハワイではウミガメなどの絶滅危惧動物の保護に力を入れていて、2メートル以上近づくと罰金らしい。
ストレスかかるともうその浜には甲羅干ししに寄らなくなってしまうそうなので、これから行く方は近寄り過ぎないよう注意したほうがよさそう。
充実したノースショア観光を終えワイキキへ戻る車中でも、マシンガントークはとどまるところを知らず、それを子守歌代わりに深い眠りへ。
最初はフリープランで50$以上は高いかなぁと思っていたが、やはり行き帰りの距離を自力でバスや車で行くことを考えるとツアーにして良かったと思う。ドライバーさんのトークも、娘の自慢話が続いたときは興味がなく辛かったが、それ以外ではへぇ~知らなかった!と思うことやハワイの歴史も知れたし、何より気さくな方で親しみやすくて良かった。
またハワイにいくことがあれば、ノースショアにはもう一度いきたいなぁ。
ノスタルジックな気分に浸れる、素敵な素敵な街でした。

Reviewed by: ほりみき

I enjoyed surfing in the morning and participated in the evening, so I was able to use my time effectively. The bus had the air conditioning turned down partway, which made it comfortable, and I arrived while I was sleeping. The steak for the meal was delicious. I was able to see the show from the second row, which was impressive and great. At the end, I shook hands with the show staff. I couldn't finish the fruit-flavored ice cream that was handed out along the way because I had eaten so much during the meal, so I left some behind.

They emphasized that the buses for going and returning were different, but there were so many buses that it was difficult to find mine. However, when I asked the staff, they quickly told me where to go.

午前中はサーフィンを楽しみ、夕方からの参加だったので、時間を有意義に使えました。バスは途中でエアコンを弱めてもらって、快適だったので眠っている間に到着しました。食事はステーキが美味しかったです。ショーは2列目で見られたので、迫力があって、良かったです。最後にはショーのスタッフと握手しました。途中で配られるフルーツ入りのアイスクリームは、食事を目一杯食べていたせいで食べきれず、残してしまいました。
行きと帰りのバスが違う事を強調してもらっていましたが、バスの台数が非常に多く探すのは大変です。でも、係員に尋ねたら、すぐに教えてくれました。

Went skydiving for the first time on our honeymoon and it couldn't have been a better experience than what we had! We had Patrick and Andy as our instructors and they were full of personality and very calm- which really put us at ease. We loved them so much we each tipped them $50. We're hooked now and actually contemplated going again while in Hawaii but decided we've spent enough and going to try the other side of the spectrum=skydiving back home in Colorado!! Researched a lot before going and this place by far had some of the best reviews! Best deal I found in research was this site - literally spent hours on Hawaii discount sites!

After waiting for the shuttle bus for 20 minutes, I finally thought it had arrived, but a family showed up late, resulting in a total delay of over 30 minutes. Because of this, I couldn't enjoy the park tour that I was really looking forward to!

Still, dinner was delicious in a spacious setting, and the show afterward was wonderful, making me feel that it was definitely worth coming back after 20 years!

This is a fantastic place that you must visit when you go to Hawaii. Based on my experience from 20 years ago, I recommend that energetic visitors arrive earlier to explore the park. For older guests, this time slot seems to be less tiring and more suitable.

お迎えのバスを待つこと20分、ようやく来たと思って乗り込んだら一組の家族が遅れてきて、合計30分以上の時間ロス。おかげで楽しみにしていた園内散策が全くできませんでした!
それでもディナーは広々としたところでおいしくいただき、そのあとのショーは20年ぶりに、やっぱり来てよかった~!!と感動させられる素晴らしいものでした。
ハワイに行ったらマストで訪れるべき、素敵なところです。
20年前の経験からいうと、エネルギーのある方は、もっと早い時間から行って、園内を回ることをおすすめします。年配の方にはこの時間帯が疲れずいいと思います。

I signed up for the canyon horseback riding plan, but as we got closer to the North Shore, the weather looked suspicious... Due to bad weather, the canyon horseback riding was canceled. However, thanks to the driver's response, I was able to participate in a beach horseback riding tour. (Since the canyon horseback riding was more expensive, I received a refund for the difference later.) The tour itself was conducted with a small group, and since the participants on the day could express their preferences (like wanting to eat shrimp and needing to return to Waikiki by 4:00 PM), it was great.

The seats were excellent! 席は最高でした!

Reviewed by: 50代 男性

I was in the second row from the front, closer to the center, and it was very impressive! So, I am satisfied with the seating. The content of the show can be understood by adults, but I think it would be difficult for children, and they might get bored halfway through. The fire dance was wonderful, so I hope everyone can see it until the end. I decided to go for the deluxe course to make the meal special, but I was disappointed that there wasn't any food that made me feel it was worth it. It was a buffet style, but there wasn't anything I wanted to have seconds of. At this level, I think the standard option would have been sufficient.

中央寄りの前から2列目で、とても迫力がありました!
なので、席については満足しています。
ショーの内容自体は、大人だと理解ができますが、
子供には難しいと思いますし、途中で飽きるかと思います。
ファイヤーダンスは素晴らしかったので、最後まで見てほしいですが。
食事を良いものにしようと、デラックスコースにしましたが、
デラックスにして良かったと思えるような食べ物は無く、残念でした。

First Haleiwa 初ハレイワ

Reviewed by: bbchoko

The Haleiwa tour was the one I was looking forward to the most this time. However, despite the hotel lobby pickup time being at 8:15, I had to wait until after 8:30, which made me quite anxious at the start. It was very unsettling to wait for those 15 minutes without any communication. After that, everything went smoothly. They shared a lot of information about flower names and stories related to Hawaii. We had a 15-minute stop at Moanalua Gardens, where it seems you now have to pay a $3 entrance fee.

After that, we went to the Dole Plantation. They took photos for us, and we shared one soft serve ice cream between the two of us. The 40-minute stop was just the right amount of time. Then we headed to Haleiwa Town, where they first gave us a thorough explanation of the area, which helped us understand where everything was located. However, I thought it could have been a bit more concise, as it seemed aimed at first-time visitors.

During the free time, I wanted to go to Macky's, which was a bit farther away, but it turned out that other customers wanted to go there too, so they kindly drove us, which was a great help. After that, at the beach where we could see sea turtles, we were able to spot three swimming turtles, which was very meaningful. Overall, it was a satisfying tour.

ハレイワツアーは今回一番楽しみにしていたツアーでした。
が、ホテルロビーのピックアップ時間が8:15だったにもかかわらず
8:30過ぎまで待たされ、幸先はすごく不安でした。
特に連絡もなく、この15分はとても心細かったです。
そのあとは順調でした。花の名前やハワイに関するお話をたくさんしてくださいました。モアナルアガーデンでは15分の立ち寄りでした。
最近は入園料として3ドル支払うようです。
その後、ドールプランテーションへ行きました。写真も撮って下さりソフトクリームは2人で1つ食べました。40分の立ち寄りはちょうどいい時間でした。
その後ハレイワタウンへ行きましたが、まずまんべんなく街を説明していただき、
どこに何があるのかがよくわかりました。がもう少し手短でもいいかなとおもいました。初めての方向けかなと。
フリータイムでは少し離れたマッキーズに行きたかったのですがちょうど他のお客様も行きたいとの話で車で連れて行っていただき、大変助かりました。
その後ウミガメが見れるビーチでは泳いでいるウミガメを3匹見ることができ、とても有意義でした。
全体的に満足したツアーでした。

The food was very disappointing, but the show was really good. I think you can enjoy it just fine from the standard seats, not just the deluxe ones. The staff were Japanese, which was great.

料理がとっても、残念でしたがショーはとっても良かったです。デラックス席じゃなくても、スタンダードで十分観覧出来ると思います。
スタッフの方は、日本人でとっても良かったです。

Polynesian Cultural Center Admission Tickets & HĀ Breath of Life Evening Show

2nd visit!!!

Reviewed by: Kerrie Allen

Our second time to the Centre. I have to say, out of all the activities on offer in Hawaii, this place has to be the best valued day out. It covered our transport, great entertainment, informative, our evening meal, then the finale is a terrific show..The Breath of Life....would highly recommend the Polynesian Culture Centre as a worthwhile addition to your vacation.

絶景スカイダイビング 一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動!ビデオ&写真撮影付きプランあり by ゴージャンプハワイ<送迎付き>

This may be off-topic, but... お門違いですが・・・

Reviewed by: vwbora

It may be inappropriate to express dissatisfaction with the operating company in a review on VELTRA, but...

The skydiving experience itself was quite enjoyable. My instructor, Relyx, provided clear explanations in English and some basic Japanese, which made me very satisfied.

However, this "Pacific Skydiving Center" is not acceptable...

On that day (June 20), it seems there was rain and cloudy weather early in the morning, and we were delayed, with our flight starting around 1 PM instead of the scheduled 11 AM. While that is understandable...

We were supposed to go on separate flights for 2100m and 4267m, but I believe we were put on the 2100m flight...

I timed it, and we only had 20 seconds before the parachute opened...

Still, the scenery and experience were amazing.

But my biggest complaint starts here.

By 1:30 PM, everything was finished, but we waited and waited for the return vehicle, and it never arrived...

I asked the reception staff twice, and they told me it would be coming soon, so we waited.

After waiting until 4 PM, the reception desk closed, and the return vehicle left without us.

There were four other Japanese people with us, and it was clearly strange, so when we asked again, they said, "We announced it near the vehicle, but since there was no response, we left."

They said this without any sense of wrongdoing.

As others have mentioned, there was no apology for this.

In the end, we returned to Waikiki after 5 PM...

Although the skydiving itself was a lot of fun, I was left with such dissatisfaction due to the treatment from the operating company...

It made me realize the level of hospitality in Japan, but this place was terrible.

VELTRA の体験談に催行会社の不満を書くのは違うかもしれませんが・・・

スカイダイビング自体は、かなり楽しかったです。
relyx というインストラクターで、わかりやすい英語と、カタコトの日本語で丁寧にレクチャーしてくれ、かなり満足しました。

・・が、この
「パシフィックスカイダイビングセンター」

という店?会社がいただけません・・・

その日(6/20)は、早朝 雨天曇天だったらしく、時間がおしていて、11時開始が13時くらいのフライトとなりました。
それは仕方ないことなのですが・・

2100m と、 4267m とで別便で行くのですが、おそらく自分たちは2100mの方に乗せられたんだと思います・・

時間を計りましたが、パラシュート開くまで20秒しかありませんでした・・

それでも景色、体感は最高でしたが。

一番の不満はここからです

13時半には全て終わってたのですが、帰りの車が待てど暮らせど出ない・・

受付の人に二回も尋ねたのに「すぐ出る」といわれ、待機

16時まで待っていたら、受付窓口が閉まり、
帰りの車が何の音沙汰もなしに、自分たちが乗ってないまま出発。

他に日本人4人居ましたが、さすがにオカシイということで、改めて尋ねると

「車付近でアナウンスしたけど、何の反応もなかったので出発した」

と、悪気もなく言ってきました。

他の方もおっしゃってるように、そこに謝罪はありません。

結局ワイキキに帰ったのが17時過ぎ・・

スカイダイビング自体はかなり楽しかったのに、

催行会社の待遇でこうも不満が残るとは・・

日本のおもてなしの待遇を改めて知ることにもなりましたが、この店はひどかったです。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, we sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations.

We have shared your feedback with the tour operator. Upon confirming the altitude for skydiving, we found that you participated at the requested height of 4,267 meters. There are two shuttle services available; those who participated in the 9 AM session used the first shuttle, while those who participated in the 11 AM session used the second shuttle. Therefore, we appreciate your understanding that the waiting time may be longer depending on the completion time of the skydiving.

Additionally, we sincerely apologize for the lack of guidance from our local staff regarding the return shuttle, which may have caused you discomfort.

Based on your valuable feedback, we will strive to improve our services in the future. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us.

ノースショア(ハレイワ)観光 ハレイワタウンで3時間の自由散策+ドールプランテーション!海辺の絶景を楽しめる乗馬付き(70分)プランあり<1日/送迎付き>

North Shore Free Time Plan ノースショア・フリータイムプラン

Reviewed by: シェリコ

This was my second time in North Shore. My first visit was packed with activities, so this time I wanted to relax with shopping, eating, and enjoying the beach in Haleiwa, so I joined the free time plan.

It seems you can also get to Haleiwa by The Bus, but since it's a precious day, I chose to join the tour to prioritize time spent at the location over time spent on the bus.

First, we stopped by the Moanalua Gardens, known for its famous tree, and then we visited the Dole Plantation. Here, you have a choice.

1. For those who just want a quick visit and shopping, there's a 30-minute stay.
2. For those who want to enjoy the maze and ride the train, there's a 2-hour stay. They will inform you of the two meeting times, so you can return to the vehicle at your preferred time.

After that, we went to see the turtles (unfortunately, there were no turtles, but thanks to our guide's thoughtfulness, we were able to see them at another beach at the end of the tour!).

Upon arriving in Haleiwa, there are also two options:
1. A return to Turtle Bay after about 40 minutes of stay (for horseback riding or strolling), or
2. A longer stay of about 3.5 hours in Haleiwa.

I indulged in garlic shrimp and huli huli chicken, and after that, I bought an iced espresso at the Coffee Gallery and enjoyed banana pancakes at Waialua Bakery while heading to the beach.

The beach was not the bustling Waikiki or the big wave beaches typical of the North Shore; it was a place where locals relaxed, sunbathed, and canoed, creating a laid-back atmosphere.

This tour allowed us to choose between a short or long stay at each destination, which was very nice and relaxed. Above all, I felt I had a wonderful time thanks to our guide's kind and fun personality.

If I want to spend another laid-back time in North Shore, I would love to join again. (^。^)

Oh, one thing that was a bit disappointing was that the microphone in the vehicle wasn't very sensitive, making it hard to hear... maybe? (^^;

ノースショアーは今回2回目・・・初めてのノースはてんこ盛りのツアーだったので、今回はハレイワでショッピングと食べ歩きとビーチでのんびりしたかったので、フリータイムプランに参加しました。


ハレイワまではザ・バスでも行けるようですが、貴重な1日・・・車内より現地滞在時間を重視する為にもツアーに参加しました。


まずはこの木なんの木のモアルナガーデン立ち寄り、その後ドール・パイナップル園の立ち寄ります。ここで、選択できます。

①ササッと見学とショッピングのみの希望者の為に約30分の滞在・・・また、②迷路や汽車に乗るなどゆっくり楽しみたい人は約2時間の滞在・・・2つの集合時間を教えてくれるので好きな時間に車に戻れば良いのです。

その後は亀さん見学(残念なことに亀さんはいませんでしたが、ガイドさんの心遣いによりツアー最終にも別の海岸に行ってくれたので見れました♪)

ハレイワに到着し、ここでも選択は二つ・・・①40分程度の滞在で車に戻りタートルベイへ(乗馬や散策)または、②ハレイワで長時間の希望は3時間半程度滞在出来ます。

フリフリチキン・ガーリックシュリンプをほおばり、食後はコーヒーギャラリーでアイスエスプレッソを買いワイアルアベーカリーでバナナパンケーキを食べながら、ビーチへ向かいました。

ビーチは賑やかなワイキキでも無く、ノース特有の大きな波のビーチでも無く・・・地元の方がのんびり日光浴したりカヌーをしたりゆったりとした時間のながれるビーチでした。

今回のツアーは行き先々で滞在時間を【 ショート 】か【 ロング 】かに選択できる・・・ゆる~い感じがとっても良かったです。なによりガイドさんの優しく楽しい人柄にとても良い時間を貰った気がしました。

またノースショアーでゆる~い時間を過ごしたくなったら、参加したいと思います。(^。^)

あっ、ひとつだけ残念だったのは・・・車内マイクの感度が良くなく聴き取りにくかったこと・・・かな?(^^;

ポリネシア カルチャー センター ハワイ最大の伝統ルアウショー!ショーのみまたはビュッフェ・ディナー付きから選べるプラン<送迎付きプランあり>

I was very satisfied with the show. ショーに大満足

Reviewed by: WAIK

Since it was my first time, I chose a plan starting with dinner, but I wanted to see more of the fun park inside. Next time, I want to go during the day.

The buffet has separate entrances depending on the course, and you enter by getting a stamp on your hand. There aren't many types of food, but the seafood was particularly delicious. I recommend ordering ice cream, as they serve it for you, and you can add your own toppings.

The show was very satisfying, and even though I didn't understand the words, the dancers' passion came through, and I was moved to tears. The male performance using fire was very exciting. It seemed like it would be easy to see from the back, so it looked like you could enjoy it from there as well. We wanted to see it up close, so we chose the front, and it was really close enough to touch!

The bus ride felt long, but I definitely want to come back to Hawaii and see it again.

初めて行くのでディナーからのプランを選びましたが、奥まで楽しそうな園内がもっと見たくなりました。次は昼から行きたいです。
バイキングはコースによって入り口が分かれています。手にスタンプを押して入ります。
あまりご飯の種類はないですが、特にシーフードが美味しかったです。オススメはアイスクリームも頼むとよそってくれて、トッピングも自分達で出来ますよ。
ショーは大変満足いくもので、言葉は分からなくてもダンサーの情熱が伝わって、感動して涙が出て来ました。男性の炎を使った演目はとても盛り上がりますよ。一応、後ろの方でも見やすそうだったので、そこでも充分楽しめそうでした。私達は近くで見たい!とゆう希望だったので前方にしましたが、ほんとに触れる位近かったです!
移動バスが長く感じますが、是非、またハワイに来たら見に来ようと思います。

The trip around the island was great I would highly recommend Veltra tours. The trip was made even better by our guide Bethany who was an endless wealth of knowledge, we did this trip2 years ago with another company and I can honestly say that we learnt 10 times more with your tour.

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

Shark Cage Swim

Reviewed by: Nathan N

The was an awesome activity to do! My wife and I didn't want to go out and free swim with shark so this cage was perfect. We had a great crew that was nice, entertaining and took care of us. A very enjoyable time! A little tip is to go earlier in day because after about 9:30 or 10 the water starts to get rougher and rocks the boat more.
