Yet again another excellent tour from VELTRA and Operators. Bus driver Tommy was funny and more importantly on time, he gave us all the information we needed. We climbed at 9am and did it in 20mins as we wanted a workout. Spent some time at the top, taking in the views. Made our way down slowly, sat under the trees in the park and waited to be collected by Tommy. All done by 1130am. Perfect!

This tour was the perfect way to start the day in Oahu. Getting picked up early was great to get to reach Diamond Head in time for sunrise views, absolutely worth the early wake-up.

I arrived 15 minutes before the meeting time, but there was one foreigner standing at the reception area, so I thought he was part of the fishing boat crew, only to find out he was a tour guest... As the meeting time approached, other guests started to gather, but the crucial fishing boat did not arrive. It finally showed up about 10 minutes after the meeting time...
There were a total of 4 groups (11 people) in the tour, and 2 of them were children. By the way, we were the only Japanese couple, and we couldn't communicate in Japanese at all, but we managed with some words and a translation app.
I wasn't looking at the clock, but the travel time might not have been more than an hour one way... I felt like we had more time for fishing because of that. The waves were high that day, and the boat rocked quite a bit... I took motion sickness medication just in case, so I was fine, but it could have been bad if I hadn't... The two kids who came with us both got sick, and their dad was resting indoors.
We caught a total of 4 fish (it seems like the other guests caught about the same), but the fish were around 20 centimeters and all had to be released, so we couldn't eat them on the boat... It seemed like they were trolling while moving to the fishing spot, but I wonder if everyone would get to enjoy the catch if a big one was caught? Since we couldn't eat the fish on the boat and couldn't communicate in Japanese at all, I rated it 4 stars.
集合時間の15分前に着いたのですが、受付場所に1人の外国人が立ってたので釣り船の人だと思ったらツアー客だった…
集合時間が近づくにつれて他のお客さんも集まってきましたが、肝心な釣り船の方が来ません。
集合時間から10分くらい経ってやっと来ました…
ツアー客は全部で4組(11人)で、うち2人が子供でした。
ちなみに、日本人は私達夫婦だけで日本語は全く通じませんが、単語と翻訳アプリで何とか大丈夫でした。
時計を見てなかったのですが移動時間は片道1時間も無かったかも…
その分、釣りの時間が長かった気がします。
この日は波が高く船はかなり揺れました…
念の為に酔い止めの薬を飲んでたので大丈夫でしたが、飲んでなかったらヤバかったかも…
一緒に行った子供達は2人ともダウンして、お父さんも室内で休んでました。
全部で4匹釣りました(他のお客さんも同じぐらいみたい)が、釣れた魚は20センチ前後で全てリリースされて船上で食べることは出来ませんでした…
釣り場に移動する際にトローリングもしてたみたいですが、大物が釣れればみんなに振る舞うのかな?
釣った魚が船上で食べられなかったのと日本語が全く通じないのがイマイチだったので評価は☆4つにしました。
I don't understand Japanese at all.
It may vary by day, but it can be quite rocky, so it's better to take motion sickness medication just in case.
You cannot eat the fish you catch.
Tips should
日本語は全く通じません。
日によると思いますが、かなり揺れるので念の為に酔い止めの薬を飲んでった方がいいです。
釣った魚は食べられません。
チップは船を降りる直前に、調理台?にある大きな瓶に入れます。

Tommy picked us up early at a neighboring hotel/resort. As soon as we arrived, he mentioned me and my son by name and I signed a sheet stating we were present. He was kind, patient, relaxed and informative about the area offering great suggestions on different locations. This experience included our entrance fee to Diamond Head State Monument, transportation to and from the hotel. Our hike was moderate and offered beautiful scenery and awesome photo opportunities. The only area I felt somewhat claustrophobic was going into the tunnel on the way up. Tommy provided cold as well as room temperature water and the ride back was comfortable and convenient as we were dropped off right in front of our resort. Thank you for a great experience! Mahalo!
Eat something light before you head out. Go early. Drink water. Enjoy!

Our driver was wonderful and funny. I appreciate that he called us to tell us he had arrived at the pick-up spot. We didn’t see the van pull up and he was parked behind us. The hike is demanding especially in the rain. It was quite slippery on the way down. We had already purchased ponchos, but our driver had some for sale. We were able to complete the hike easily within the timeframe, and had time to stop in the gift shop. Just be aware of the weather and plan accordingly. Good shoes are a must!

I arrived at the meeting point by 7:15 for the 7:30 check-in, but no staff appeared even by 7:30. They finally showed up at 7:52. After that, with only two staff members, they began preparing the boat, causing us to depart a few minutes later than planned. While I don't mind the delay, I felt a bit anxious waiting since no one was there at the scheduled meeting time.
We enjoyed a view of Waikiki Beach from the sea. After a while, we started fishing about 300-400 meters from Diamond Head. It was fun to catch various fish easily. My mother tangled her line and caused some trouble for the staff, but they were very kind and helpful. We also had the good fortune of seeing wild dolphins swimming nearby, which was a great experience.
It was nice that there were only eight participants, allowing the staff to keep an eye on everyone. However, it was disappointing that there was no barbecue on board for the fish we caught.
朝7:30チェックインとのことで集合場所に7:15迄に行ったが7:30になってもスタッフ現れず。7:52になってようやく現れた。それから2人だけのスタッフで船内の準備など始め出発は予定より数分遅れた。出発遅れるのは気にしないが予定の集合時間に誰もいなかった為待っている間は少し不安だった。
ワイキキ海岸沿い一帯を海から眺望。しばらくしてダイヤモンドヘッドから300-400メートルほど離れた場所を周り釣りスタート。簡単に色々な魚が釣れて楽しかった。母親が糸を絡ませたり色々スタッフに面倒をかけてしまったが親切に対応してくれた。野生のイルカが泳いでいるのもたまたま近くで見ることができ良い経験だった。
参加者8名とスタッフの目が行き届く人数でよかった。
詳細にある釣った魚を船内でバーベキューがなかったのは残念だった。
You might not be able to eat the fish you catch. No one is here at the meeting time, but they will come later.

I participated in the 4-day unlimited ride on the all-line trolley. I used the Pink Line every day, and I rode each of the other lines for one day, using the Blue Line twice. It had been six years since my last ride, but the Blue Line, which runs east, is my absolute favorite! ✨ Although it's the longest route, there was a restroom break at Sea Life Park. Riding the trolley while feeling the Hawaiian breeze is the best‼️ The views from the trolley, the upbeat music playing inside, and the humorous guidance from the driver were all so enjoyable! ❤️ The price has gone up, but since it takes you around all the tourist spots, I highly recommend it for those visiting Oahu for the first time.
全線共通トロリー4日間乗り放題に参加しました。レッド、グリーン、ブルー、ピンクの路線
ピンクラインは毎日利用しましたし他の路線は1日ずつそれぞれに乗車してブルーラインは2回利用しました。
6年ぶりの利用でしたが東を走るブルーラインは1番のお気に入りの路線です✨時間的には1番長い路線ですがシーライフパークでトイレ休憩もありました。
ハワイの風を受けながらのトロリーは最高です‼️
トロリーから眺める景色、トロリー内で流れる軽快なリズムの音楽、運転手さんのユーモア溢れるガイド全てにおいて楽しかったです❤️
お値段は高くなりましたが観光名所を隈なくまわってくれるのでオアフ島を初めて訪れる方には
ぜひおススメします

During our visit to Hawaii, we decided to book a tour to Diamond Head for Sunrise Hiking. It was the best decision we made. Blue Lei Hawaii Tours provided excellent customer service from the beginning to the end. The driver arrived early and was very kind and helpful. We also received a delicious donut at the end of the hike! I'm glad we chose Blue Lei Hawaii Tours, and I would highly recommend using them for any of your tour needs.
