Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & BBQ Lunch with Free Transportation

Wouldn’t be ideal for non swimmers

Reviewed by: Cici

First of all the bus that picked us up was old and need some works done. A 45 minute drive turned into a 11/2 hour drive. We picked the sand bar as my husband and I both can’t swim. I was pleased that we got to do some snorkeling together. We did see some turtles as well.
Then it was the deeper sea snorkeling. I was so afraid of the deep sea. So we ended up waiting in the boat for over an hour.
There are actually a few coaches on the boat. If they would Guide us through that would be a lot easier.
We just felt left out from the whole group.

Good overall!

Overall worth it, the only thing is that the snorkeling site was nothing exciting and you could barely see turtles or any fish. The best part was the volleyball match.

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch

Great all around adventure!

Reviewed by: SteveW

The experience was really great from start to finish. We had an opportunity to see parts of Kauai we would never otherwise see and learn about the history of the area and the modern effort to conserve.
Our guides were amazing, the tube ride was mostly gentle and relaxing (except for the one stretch of 36 inch vertical drop!). The water is fresh and invigorating, really pleasant on a warm fall day.
Do yourself a favor and take this don't miss adventure.

スターオブホノルル号 サンセットディナークルーズ!ライブショーと選べるビュッフェ/コースディナー付き

ショーと食事は良かったが、残念な点も幾つかあり。

Reviewed by: ミッチーYOKOHAMA

アメリカ本土からの観光客中心に船内はほぼ満席でした。
丁度金曜日の夜でヒルトンホテル辺りの海岸からの花火が短時間ですが綺麗でした。
食事はフルーツ、チーズのバイキングとコース料理とで食べきれないほどあり、良かったのですが、いかんせん、テーブルが小さく、臨席との間隔がギチギチで残念。
海上が見える外へは直ぐに出られるので、特に海の見える席を指定する必要は無いと思います。
ドリンク券2枚付ですが、ウェイトレスが少なく、ウッカリしていると二杯目注文が漏れることに、、、。
私は一応チップを渡しましたが、周りほとんど渡している人は居ませんでした。

Our servers at the event made a huge difference. Although busy, they were attentive to the guests.

Table setting was elegant. Flowers decorating the meals were beautiful. Didn’t enjoy the drinks as much. Lava flow did not taste right.

Star of Honolulu Sunset Cruise with Crab Legs, Steak & Chicken Dinner and Show

Worth it.

Reviewed by: Jordan

The dinner cruise is worth it. We had the crab legs, steak, and bbq chicken. The crab legs were a little small, but everything else was very tasty. I would recommend this activity and may do it again if I go back to Oahu. The entertainment was also great and enjoyable to watch. The staff on board was also friendly and attentive.

とても楽しくうっとりするひと時でした!

Reviewed by: トミー

金曜日の花火がある日に3スターコースに参加しました。窓際オプションと記念写真も申し込みました。
料理が順に運ばれて来ます。事前に「夕陽の写真を撮っている内にお皿が下げられた」というコメントを見て参加しましたが、タイミングを見計らえば、そんなことはありません。
「エビが水っぽい」というコメントもありましたが、特には感じませんでした。
花火は、開始時刻が近くなると一斉に動き始めるので、
少し早めに動くのがコツです。米人の後ろからは見えません。ただ、日本の花火大会より時間は短く(10〜15分?)、遠方からなので迫力は今一歩です。
終わり近くになるとディスコタイムとなり、女性従業員が弾けて踊り、盛り上がりました。
説明書に、「代金にはチップが含まれていない」と書いてあったので、心積もりしていましたが、渡すタイミングがありませんでした。
出口付近で、フラダンスの男女ペアと記念撮影してくれます(無料)。いい思い出になりました。

コロナ以前の素晴らしいおもてなしはどこへやら。

Reviewed by: サクラサク

フリードリンクチケットを2枚/人もらっていた。チチを注文したが、忙しくて何十分も待ったあげく、花などの飾りもないものが置かれた。二枚めを使おうとすると、英語をまくしたてて、拒否された。もうラストオーダーなのかもと思い、諦めていたら、そのうち、臨席のオーダーを取り始めた。なぜ私のオーダーを受けなかったのかと問い詰めたが、何を言ってるのかさっぱりわからなかった。一応チケットを受け取ったが、結局ドリンクは持ってきてくれなかった。コロナ明けで人手不足なのかもしれないが、最低のスタッフだと思います。以前ファイブスターで、カウントダウンクルーズに参加した時は最高のスタッフのおもてなしだったのに、今回は、楽しめるどころか、差別されて、悲しかったです。

We are extremely sorry for your disappointment of our cruise.
We have followed internally and took action to improve.
We have followed up with Veltra with more details which can be sent to you if you wish.
Again we sincerely apologize for your disappointed experience and hope you will give us another chance in the future.

Star of Honolulu Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise & Live Entertainment - Great Value!

It was just okay.

Reviewed by: Laura

It was just okay. Boarding went quickly and was fairly organized. You weren't too crowded in the dining room, however it was HOT. They need fans. We were sitting on the sunset side on the outside and the sun was in my face the entire meal. Between the sun, heat and movement of the boat I was miserable. I don't normally get seasick, but combined with the extreme heat and lack of breeze I felt like crap. I couldn't wait to get up top where there was a breeze.
The buffet had what was advertised, but it was a minimal selection. In my opinion it left something to be desired, I didn't even eat one plate. The desserts were okay, the fruit was fresh. The wait staff was friendly and efficient.
We did have a spectacular sunset and it is amazing to see from the ship. We missed most of the entertainment because I needed to be up where there was a breeze but people seemed to be enjoying themselves. We went on Friday to see the fireworks. There were so many people topside that we couldn't stand on the side of the ship you needed to be on to watch them. (You want to be on the right side.) We wound up going back to our seats (2nd level) and had a perfect view of the end of the fireworks display. Overall I couldn't wait for the evening to end so I could get off the ship and get into the air conditioning. Personally I would not go again, but as I said a lot of people did seem to be enjoying themselves. I should mention, I'm not overweight, so that is not why I was so hot, they really need fans in those lower areas. Had I not been so miserable because of the heat I may have had a better experience.

5泊した中でまさかのサンドバーの日だけ生憎の天気に残念な気持ちでワイキキを出発しましたが、そんな気持ちも船に乗れば吹き飛びました(*´-`)
日本人ばかり集めた船が一隻、外国の方で一隻の合計2隻でそれぞれ出発だったと思います。
クルーのゆきこさんはとても明るく面白く、色んなことを教えてくれました。シュノーケリングエリアまでの船で指示通りの方向を見に行くと、ホヌとマンタを見ることができました。
残念ながら水中では見ることはできませんでしたが、沢山の魚にとても興奮しました。
また次も参加したいと思える様なツアーでした。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Meal, Transportation & Guide

A stunning moment - a must have lifetime experience

Reviewed by: Faye

The guide is friendly and informative. He can speak fluent English and Japanese. He provided the needed equipment for the trip and took nice photos for us. We’ve had unique and amazing lifetime experience by standing on the top of the world (count elevation from the seabed) and watching the stunning sunset and moonrise. Unfortunately, the full moon was so bright and we couldn’t clearly see the Milky Way. Overall a must have one and I will recommend do it with a guide as first time as some unexpected situations could happen if you are not fully prepared.

Warning: some people might feel faint and uncomfortable or fall asleep due to elevation

Kualoa Ranch Movie Sites Tour - Visit TV Shows & Hollywood Filming Locations

Ranch Movie Tour

Reviewed by: Bitty

From pick up point to going home, the tour was incredible.
On arrival there was time to look at the other attractions such as the farmer's market, the petting zoo (get to pat a tortoise?)

I would say our guide had to be really good, if not, it is hard to appreciate locations (especially they are just views, really). Our tour guide would make up 85% of the tour.

This tour is recommended if you are a movie/TV fan.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

colorful, lively, exciting show

Reviewed by: Ellen

We saw the show only and loved it! The dancing was exciting and engaging. the costumes were beautiful. The fire show at the end was worth waiting for! We sat in the front row. All the seats have a great view and are very comfortable in an outdoor theatre shielded by a roof. If you get to the parking lot before sunset, you will see thousands of parrots searching for the ideal tree to sleep in and making lots of noise with their murmurations. If there is road work on the main highway, try to park closer to the Marina where the barge leaves or you might get stuck waiting 20 minutes with 200 other cars until the road crew reopens the road.

Discover Lanai Day Trip from Maui, Hulopoe Bay Snorkeling & Sweetheart Rock

An absolute blast

Reviewed by: Scott & Amanda

The crew on the Trilogy IV were unbelievably accommodating and welcome. The service on the ship and on the beach was unparalleled. Every part of the trip was an absolute blast from the snorkeling, the beach, and a last minute swim party to top off the ride. The Captain truely knows how to host a party; just when you thought the service couldn’t get any better, he would come by and clean your sunglasses.

If you’re debating between a trip to Molokini Crater or this trip to Lana’i, trust me; these guys put every other excursion to shame.
