All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, and it was about a 6-minute walk to the meeting point. I got a little lost, so I would have appreciated a more detailed map of the meeting location. Other than that, it was incredibly fun! The thrill, the view from the heights, and the sea turtle we encountered by chance—everything was enjoyable! My middle school son, who was a bit scared, and my 18-year-old daughter both said they really had a great time once it was over! They were so excited and said they want to do it again!

ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ、アリータワーに宿泊していたので、集合場所まで徒歩6分位でした。
少し迷ったので、もう少し詳しい集合場所の地図があれば嬉しかったです。
それ以外は、最高に楽しかった！
スピード感、高所からの景色、偶然遭遇したウミガメ、何もかも楽しかった！
少し怖がっていた中学生の息子、18の娘も、終わってみたら本当に楽しかった！またやりたい！と、大興奮でした！

It was very pleasant and the few minutes went by in no time!!!

Even 150 meters would have been good! The kids really enjoyed it. Although they met the age requirement, many places don’t allow lighter-weight children to participate, but here, even a 20-kilogram child could experience it, which became a great memory!!

I think tipping is a matter of feeling. So we did tip, but the other four Japanese groups didn’t, which was a learning experience for me.

********************

I have nothing bad to say about Veltra, but I’d like to add a comment.

I ordered photos on the boat. I was looking forward to seeing them. I was surprised to find that among about 60 photos, there were only a few of us looking like little beans, and the rest were of the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head. Moreover, there was a photo of the captain eating snacks. I felt like I wanted to angrily comment, “Is this for my Instagram??” It’s too regrettable that I paid $30 for that. It’s a useless 512MB SD card...

I do not recommend ordering photos. Really.

I wish they would at least let us check before buying.

とても気持ちよくて あっという間の数分間でしたー！！！

150メートルにしても良かったかな！というぐらい 子どもたちも楽しんでました。
年齢はクリアしていても体重が軽いと言うことです乗れない所が多い中、こちらは20キロの子どもでも体験できていい思い出になりました！！

チップは気持ちだと思います。なので 私達は入れましたが、他の日本人グループは4組ともせずにいたので 難しいものだなーと勉強になりました。

ベルトラさんは一つも悪くありませんが
一言追加で添えておきます。

船上で写真をオーダーしました。
出来上がりが楽しみでした。
驚きました
60枚ほどの写真に、豆のような私たちが数枚写っていて、あとはワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドなど。
さらには、スナック菓子を食べているキャプテンの写真。
自分のインスタにあげる写真ですか？？と怒りのツッコミをしたくなるほど。
あれに30ドルを払ったなんて悔しすぎます。
使い前もない512MBのSDカードです、、、。

写真オーダーはお勧めしません。本当に

せめて、確認してから買うスタイルを取らせてくれたら良いのに。

Since it was my first time, I challenged myself to the 90m jump. I teamed up with two children in elementary school and one adult to match our weights. The crew was very entertaining and considerate of the nervous children. Next time, I want to try a higher jump.

初めてということもあり、90mに挑戦しました。小学低学年の子ども二人と大人一人で体重を合わせました。クルーの方も大変おもしろく、緊張する子どもにも配慮してくれました。
今度はもう少し高いのに挑戦したいです。

The entire family had a great time feeding the fish and spotting sea turtles.

This was our second time on the cruise, as my child really enjoyed it the first time. The waves are bigger in winter, which might make it more fun with the rocking motion. For those who prefer a calm cruise, summer is recommended. Since you're out on the sea, you can get quite sunburned. I recommend taking extra precautions against sunburn, even more than when you're at the beach. We also saw turtles and dolphins, which excited both the adults and the kids.

以前乗船し、子供が気に入っていたので、2回目の乗船でした。
波が大きい冬場の方が揺れがあって楽しいかもしれません。
穏やかなクルーズを希望する方は夏場がオススメです。
海の上なので、かなり日焼けします。日焼けしたくない方は、ビーチに居る時以上にしっかり日焼け対策をすることをお勧めします。
亀やイルカも見られて、大人も子供も大興奮でした。

It was my first time surfing, and the instructor was from overseas and could speak a little Japanese, but he was a cheerful person and it was fun! (laughs)

サーフィンは初めてで、インストラクターも海外の方で少し日本語が話せる程度でしたが陽気な方で楽しかったです（笑）

The view from a height of 150 meters is breathtaking. I was surprised by the quiet atmosphere. My family of four participated, and we were very satisfied.

150ｍの高さから見る景色は絶景です。
静かな空間にびっくりでした。
家族４人で参加しましたが、大満足でした。

I took my two daughters on a graduation trip for their university, and we had our first experience here. Our driver, Tomo, and our guide, Masa, were both very kind to us. We learned a lot about the island's ecosystem and migratory birds, which was information we had never encountered before. Both kayaking and snorkeling were a lot of fun! It was a day where we truly felt the charm of Hawaii. I would love to come back if the opportunity arises. Thank you very much!

娘の大学卒業旅行を兼ねて、娘二人を連れて初めて体験させていただきました。
運転手のトモさん、ガイドしてくださったマサさんお二人共とても親切にしていただきました。島の生態系や渡り鳥の話しなど、今まで知り得ることが出来なかったお話が聞けてとても勉強になりました。カヤックもシュノーケリングもとても楽しかったです❣️ハワイの魅力を肌で感じた一日でした。
また機会があればお世話になりたいと思います。ありがとうございました

It was incredibly fun! The breeze felt nice, and the scenery was beautifully stunning. For $30, you can have a professional camera take beautiful photos, and you'll receive about 70 digital images. It's also possible to collaborate with other participants to take videos, so I definitely recommend working together with everyone.

めちゃくちゃ楽しいの一言に尽きます！
風も気持ちよく、景色も最高に綺麗でした♪
30＄払えば一眼レフで綺麗な写真を撮ってくれ、データで70枚程度いただけます。
ほかの参加者と協力して、動画を取り合うことも可能なので是非皆さんで協力するのをおススメします。

This was a great time. This was our first time in kayak and we did awesome as our guide said. The hike to the falls was muddy but well worth it. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a little adventure.

This is a unique experience, so I signed up for the 150m option. The shuttle was a bit late, which made me anxious, but they arrived properly. The driver also apologized. In the early morning time slot, I was with a Japanese newlywed couple and an American family. The weather was nice, so it felt really good! There were moments when I felt a sudden drop, but that was part of the fun. The flight time was just a few minutes, but I enjoyed it enough. I wasn't asked about getting wet, so I ended up soaked up to my waist. If you don't want to get wet, it seems you need to mention it before flying. I took the photos myself, and I asked the Japanese person for some shots from below. We tipped $10 for the two of us. The boat sways a bit. Since it was early in the morning, I participated without having breakfast, and I felt a bit nauseous later on. I should have eaten something. (For some people, eating might make them feel more nauseous...)

なかなかできる体験ではないので150mで申し込みしました。
送迎は少し遅れてドキドキしましたが、ちゃんと来てもらえました笑。ドライバーさんも謝っていました。朝一の時間帯で日本人の新婚ご夫婦と米国のファミリーと一緒でした。
天気もよかったのでとても気持ちがいいです！たまにガクンと降下する感じがしましたがそれもまた一興です。飛行時間は数分ですが十分楽しめました。海ポチャについては何も聞かれなかったので腰まで濡れました。嫌な方は飛ぶ前に申し出る必要がありそうです。
写真は自分で撮りました。下からの写真は日本人の方にお願いしました。チップは2人で10ドルお支払いしました。
ボートは少し揺れます。朝早かったので朝食を食べずに参加したのですが後半少し酔った感じがしました。何か食べておけばよかったです。(人によっては食べた方が酔ってしまうかもしれません…)

I booked the highest one at 150m! Since I made a reservation for the early morning, there were only two other groups participating, so there was no waiting time while flying, which was stress-free. And when I thought it might be scary, it actually felt great, and the view was amazing. I felt a sense of superiority looking at the streets of Hawaii from the sky while basking in the morning sun (laughs). You have to wake up early, but I highly recommend the early morning slot!

一番高い150mを予約しました！
朝イチの予約にしていたので
一緒に参加したのも二組だけで
飛んでる間の待ち時間がなくストレスがなかったです♫
そして怖いかなと思ったら気持ちよくて
景色も最高で朝日を浴びながら
空から眺めるハワイの街に優越感を感じました（笑）
早起きしないとですが朝イチがオススメです♫

It was stable as we ascended, and there was no fear at all. My 70-year-old parents also experienced it and loved it. I think the middle height is sufficient. In the latter half, it can be a bit dizzying, so taking motion sickness medication beforehand would help you enjoy it throughout!

安定した状態で上空に上がり、怖さもなかった。70歳の両親も体験して良かったと大好評。真ん中の高さで十分だと思う。後半は、少し酔うので酔い止めを飲んでおくと終始楽しめると思う！

Sea kayaking typically accommodates two people per kayak. Since you paddle about 4 miles at a decent speed, I think less powerful individuals, like women, might get quite tired.

The cliff jump from a height of 10 meters (optional) was an unexpected experience, but the other activities like exploring the caves (just a little way into the entrance) and snorkeling (only for 10 minutes, close to shore and not particularly rich in fish) felt somewhat lackluster.

It was disappointing that we couldn't take any photos because we were told not to bring anything that could get wet, including smartphones, which were collected in a storage box. I think it would have been nice if the guide could have taken some photos for us.

シーカヤックは基本一艇に二人で乗ります。それなりのスピードでトータル4マイルほど漕ぐので非力な女性などはそれなりに疲れると思います。
10ｍの高さからのクリフジャンプ(希望者のみ)は予想外の体験でしたがその他の洞窟(入り口付近にちょっと入るだけ)やシュノーケリング(10分間のみ、岸からも近く特に魚影が濃い訳でもなくどこでも体験出来る内容)は中途半端な感じはしました。
濡れて困るものは一切持って行くなという事でスマホなども保管箱に回収されてしまったので何も写真が撮れなかったのが残念です。であればせめてガイドが写真を撮ってくれても良いと思います。

Good trip and having funs, beautiful views and the water was so clear that you can see the bottom

Thank you so much for everything the other day (^ - ^) Thanks to Teacher Chieko, my whole family was able to enjoy ourselves (^_^)v I was particularly worried about my 9-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter, but the teacher was very kind and provided a lot of support. My daughter really took a liking to her (^.^)

We were lucky to see the turtle eating, and even got to take pictures together as it came up to the surface☆ We also saw various kinds of fish, which were really beautiful (^_^)/~~

At first, we didn't plan to rent wetsuits, but the teacher advised us that it would be cold, so we decided to rent them. The kids seemed to feel cold later on, so I really think it was a good decision to rent them.

The teacher was very friendly and shared a lot about Hawaii and Japan.

This trip to Hawaii has truly become our most wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

先日は本当にありがとうございました(^-^)
ちえこ先生のおかげで家族みんなが楽しむことができました(^_^)v特に９才の息子と６才の娘が大丈夫かなぁと心配していたのですが、先生がとっても優しくて、色々フォローしてくださいました。娘はすっかり先生になついてしまいました(^.^)

カメが食事しているところを見れて、おまけに水面まであがってきてくれて一緒に写真もとってもらえてラッキーでした☆色々な種類の魚も見れてすごくきれいでした(^_^)/~~

最初はウエットスーツは借りる予定はなかったのですが、先生が寒いよと教えてくださって借りました。こどもは後半寒かったみたいなので、本当に借りてよかったなぁと思います。

先生はすごく気さくな方で、ハワイのことや日本のお話も色々してくださいました。

ハワイの旅行の中で、やっぱり一番のステキな思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

I participated with my 70-year-old parents and my children (12 years old and 2 years old). We challenged ourselves with the 150m option, and it was really great. My 2-year-old daughter participated as an observer and only boarded the boat, but since we could take her along, everyone else was able to go parasailing. Other tours did not allow 2-year-olds, so we chose this tour.

It was a windy day, so I was worried about whether we could go parasailing, but it turned out fine. The boat rocked a lot, so it might be tough for those who are prone to seasickness. There were two crew members, both of whom were cheerful, and we had a fun time. They communicated with us in simple Japanese, so I think those who are not good at English can feel at ease!

70歳の両親と子供(12歳と2歳)と参加しました。
150mにチャレンジしましたが、とても良かったです。
2歳の娘は見学者としての参加で、乗船するだけでしたが、一緒に連れて行けたので他の全員がパラセイリング をすることができました。他のツアーでは2歳は参加不可だったので、ここのツアーに決めました。
風が強い日だったのでパラセイリング ができるか心配でしたが、大丈夫でした。船はすごく揺れたので、酔いやすい人は大変かもしれません。
クルーは2名おられて、どちらも陽気で楽しい時間を過ごせました。片言ですが日本語で対応してくれたので、英語がダメな方でも安心だと思います！

We participated in parasailing as a family. It was great that transportation was included, so we could join right from the hotel in our swimsuits. The captains were very cheerful and accommodating, which was nice. We were lucky enough to see a whale, and we were very satisfied! ^_^

家族でパラセーリングに参加しました。送迎も付いているのでホテルから水着のままでも参加出来てとても良かったです。キャプテン達もとても陽気で気軽に対応してくれるし良かったです。運良くクジラも見れて大満足でした^_^

I was sitting right at the front by the net and got completely soaked from the splashes! But that's a good memory. If you don't want to get wet, I think it's better to sit further back (^ - ^) I wanted to see dolphins and whales, but it might be better to join a dedicated tour for that.

一番前のネットの脇に座っていましたら、しぶきでずぶ濡れになりました！
それもいい思い出です。
濡れたくなかったら、奥に座ればいいと思います(^-^)
イルカとクジラに会いたかったけど、それには専用のツアーがいいかもしれません。

As the reviews mentioned, everything was in English, but it's a tour where you hardly need to converse, so I think even those who are not confident can participate. I mentioned that I was a beginner, but we got into the kayak and suddenly paddled out to sea. Surprisingly, it was quite stable, and there was no risk of capsizing in the ocean. The sea cave was a bit different from what I imagined, but paddling out into the vast ocean was a fun experience. After snorkeling, the guide passed us pineapples, snacks, and drinks via the kayak. It was fun to connect the kayaks with a rope and pass the bag around. On the way back, we ended up drifting away from the group, and the guide tied a rope to my kayak and pulled me back. I applied sunscreen, but since the weather was nice, I recommend bringing it on the kayak and reapplying it several times.

口コミ通りすべて英語でしたが、ほぼ会話の必要のないツアーですので
自信のない方も参加可能かと思います。
初心者と伝えましたが、とりあえずカヤックに乗り込みいきなり海に漕ぎ出しました。
意外と安定感があり海でも転覆するようなことはありません。
シーケーブは想像とちょっと違いましたが、とにかく大海原へのカヤック漕ぎは楽しい経験となりました。
シュノーケリングの後は、ガイドさんがパイナップルやスナック、ドリンクをカヤックつてで渡してくれます。カヤックをロープでつないでみんなで袋を回していく感じで楽しいです。
戻る時には群れからどんどん離れてしまい、ガイドさんのカヤックにロープにつないでひっぱってくれました。
日焼け止めを塗ってましたが、天気がよくカヤックに持ち込み何度か塗りなおすことをお勧めします。

The captain and tour guide were very friendly and informative. The view from the water was awesome. We saw a few fish and a turtle, which was great and unexpected. Just a very nice time out on the water.

One of the highlights of my trip. Definitely do it. The guides are friendly and fun

The shuttle service and parasailing were both extremely satisfying! The staff were kind, fun, and provided great instruction, allowing me to experience parasailing with peace of mind! I highly recommend it.

送迎、パラセイリングどちらも大満足でした！
スタッフの方も優しく、楽しく、指導してくれて安心してパラセイリングを体験することができました！
本当にオススメです。

I participated with my parents, wife, and younger brother, a total of five people! The weather was perfect for parasailing with few clouds, and the view was amazing, even being able to see Diamond Head in the distance! My wife and brother, who were with me, said they were scared of heights, so we went up to 120 meters, but they mentioned it looked like it would feel great even higher. My parents seemed to be very satisfied and were excited despite their age. I have experience with skydiving, but if you want to enjoy the view slowly from the sky, I highly recommend it!

両親と妻、弟の５人で参加しました！天気は雲も少なく最高のパラセーリング日和で遠くのダイヤモンドヘッドも見えるくらい素晴らしい景色でした！
一緒に乗った妻と弟は高いとこが怖いと言うことで120㍍でしたがもっと高くても気持ち良さそうと言っていました。両親も年がいなくはしゃいでとても満足してたみたいです。スカイダイビング経験者ですが、ゆっくり空からの景色を見たいならおすすめです❗

Mr. Yano, who came to pick us up!
He made it so much fun and lifted our spirits with all sorts of conversations.
About the boat, and off we go!
As we moved further away from Waikiki, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness.
With our gear on, we were ready!
At first, I was scared, but as we went higher, my excitement reached its peak!!!
The view from above was breathtaking!
Thank you for the wonderful experience for my 68-year-old mother and my three children.
The ice cream recommended by Mr. Yano was incredibly delicious!
I want to go again with lots of flowers in my hair!

お迎えに、来てくれたヤノさん！
とっても楽しく気分を盛り上げてくれて色んな話をしてしてくれました
ボートについて、さあ出発！
どんどん離れていくワイキキを見ながらどんどん沖へ行き、緊張と楽しみでドキドキ。
装具をつけていざ！
初めは怖かったけど、どんどん高くなるにつれてテンションMAX！！！！！
上から見る景色は絶景でしたーーーー！
68歳の母も、3人の子供たちにもステキな体験をありがとう
ヤノさんオススメのアイスクリーム、めちゃくちゃ美味しかったよ〜。
頭にいっぱい花つけてまた行きたいです

I participated in a private lesson with my 12-year-old son. Thanks to the lesson being conducted in Japanese, my son was able to enjoy surfing with confidence. The staff were also very kind and taught us with great effort, so even though it was our first time, both my son and I were able to ride the waves multiple times. I never thought surfing could be this fun! It was so enjoyable that I want to do it again. Next time, I plan to invite my wife and daughter as well! Thank you to all the staff!

プライベートレッスンに12歳の息子と参加しました。日本語でレッスンしてくれたお陰で、息子も安心してサーフィンを楽しめたようです。また。スタッフの皆さんもとても親切で一生懸命教えてくれましたので、息子も私も初めてだったのに何度も波に乗ることができ、サーフィンがこんなに楽しいとは思いませんでした！楽しくてまたやりたいです。今度は、妻と娘も誘ってまたやりたいと思います！スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました！

The tour guide was friendly, and it was easy to participate. The weather was nice, and I was able to enjoy a beautiful aerial walk over Waikiki Beach. You can truly savor the peaceful and stunning scenery.

Since you're at it, I recommend going for the 150m option!

ツアーの方も気さくで気楽に参加できました。
天気も良く、とてもきれいなワイキキビーチを空中散歩できました。
本当に静かできれいな景色を堪能できます。

せっかくなので150mをおすすめします！

It was my first snorkeling experience. I was a bit anxious, but since it was a small group, I felt well taken care of and truly enjoyed it! The instructor was kind and knowledgeable, and I definitely want to go again!

はじめてのシュノーケル体験でした。
不安でしたが少人数制という事もあり、
常に気にかけてくださって本当に楽しめました！
インストラクターの方も優しくて知識も豊富で
また行きたいと思いました！

We participated as a family of three with our 12-year-old son. The headwind was strong and it was tough, but it was a very enjoyable experience. There weren't many types of fish while snorkeling, but overall, we were very satisfied!

12歳の息子と夫婦の3人で参加しました。
向かい風が強く、ハードでしたが、
とても楽しい体験でした。
シュノーケルはお魚の種類はあまり多くはありませんでしたが、でも、総合的に大満足です！

We did the three combo activity and it as absolutely full of fun! Overall it was a great day out in the sun and beach. Staff was friendly and helpful. I do wish the time at Hanauma bay was longer and had options of later pick up, it was beautiful and breathtaking. Wish I could of stood longer. Bring snacks and drinks highly recommend.
