Hawaii
We had a total of 8 participants ranging from 6 to 70 years old. Everyone was a beginner at kayaking, and we were quite worried, but the 4 kayaks smoothly paddled out into the Pacific Ocean and safely made the round trip to the cave. We were blessed with clear weather and everyone enjoyed snorkeling together. The guide was very kind and took great care of us.
6歳から70歳まで総勢8人で参加。カヤックは全員初心者でとても心配でしたが、4隻のカヤックは順調に太平洋に漕ぎ出し無事洞窟往復できました。晴天に恵まれシュノーケルもみんなで楽しめました。
ガイドさんはとても親切で大変お世話になりました。
This tour was made awesome by the tour guide. He knew so much and he put us at ease the whole way through.
It is like an island in island. Beautiful location, beach & fishes...
Driver was on time and very good with quick explanation with equipment and what to do.
I will do it again...
I booked a 150m parasailing experience. I was nervous since it was my first time, but once I was up in the air, the view was amazing and I could see the beautiful ocean, so I was glad I participated. It was a bit disappointing that the weather was not great… Also, for those who get motion sickness, I recommend taking anti-nausea medication beforehand, as some people did feel unwell.
パラセイリング150mを予約しました。初挑戦でドキドキしましたが空に上がってしまうと景色が最高で綺麗な海が見えたので参加してよかったです。お天気が少し悪かったのがショックでしたが…。後、乗り物酔いをする方は、事前に酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。気分が悪くなる方もいらっしゃいましたので。
During the break in our company trip schedule, five women in their 40s and 50s participated. After watching a video about environmental awareness, we were mindful of our impact on fish and coral as we headed to the sea. With guidance from Dan and Chieko, we felt very safe and enjoyed snorkeling. Some of our group hadn't been in the ocean for years, but with the wetsuits we borrowed in advance, we swam close to the rocky areas without feeling anxious, allowing us to relax and enjoy swimming. We even encountered two turtles! We left the sea feeling very satisfied. Thank you for accommodating those who wanted to stop by Diamond Head along the way. While we were anxious about how President Trump's visit would affect our schedule, you provided various advice, and everyone was able to return safely to the hotel. Thank you for everything.

亀2匹にも遭遇!大満足で海を後にしました。途中、ダイヤモンドヘッドへの途中下車組にも対応下さりありがとうございました。トランプ大統領訪問にスケジュールがどうなるかとハラハラしながら
色々アドバイス下さり、皆無事ホテルに戻ってこれました。
色々ありがとうございました。
Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. It coincided with President Trump's visit to Hawaii and his stop in Waikiki, which led to traffic restrictions and made for a challenging day. I'm glad you were able to return safely from Diamond Head to Waikiki. It seems everyone enjoyed snorkeling, which makes me really happy. The two turtles were a lucky sighting! We would be delighted if you all could join us again on another tour when you visit Hawaii. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただきましてありがとうございます。丁度トランプ大統領のハワイ入り、ワイキキ訪問と重なり、ワイキキには交通規制が入り一日中大変な日でしたね。無事にダイアモンドヘッドからワイキキに戻れて良かったですね。シュノーケリングも皆さんに楽しんでいただけたようで、本当に嬉しく思います。2匹の亀さんはラッキーでしたね。是非またハワイにお越しの際には皆さんでツアーにリピートしていただければ幸いです。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
While many other marine sports start early in the morning, it was great that we could participate starting at 2 PM. Just going around in a one-way loop in the water was already a lot of fun, but it seems like it would be even more enjoyable if we could move around more freely and in a more complex way.
他のマリンスポーツが朝早い物が多いなか14時スタートでも参加出来るというのは大きかったです。
海の中を一方通行でぐるぐると回るだけでも十分楽しかったのですが、もっと複雑に自由に回れるとより楽しめそうです。
Thank you!
Mahalo!
This excursion was our first snorkeling excursion in the Pacific Ocean, and it was our first excursion during our trip to O'ahu. The whole experience was outstanding. Veltra called us the day before to confirm the reservation and advise us where to meet the van and when. The driver from Kaimana Tours arrived within the allowed time period, and he was courteous and informative. He told us exactly what to expect when we arrived--including paying the $7.50 park admission fee (per person) completing the conservation education presentation (10-15 minutes, tops), and meeting him afterward (where and when). He passed around a chart of the types of sea life we would see in the bay. The view was breath-taking. The beach was beautiful. The staff were helpful and friendly. The snorkeling was great. Lifeguards were attentive--even using amplified sound at one point to caution some poor swimmers that they needed to move closer to the beach. Afterward, the driver met us when and where he had told us, and we were all on our way back to our hotels.
Beach was beautiful, but it felt that the time was too short. Would've liked it longer. Catamaran cruise is included with this. Same trip if you purchase the Catamaran cruise by itself. You get two in one but it shortens your time at the beach. And sadly we were not told this, so we did 2 Catamaran trips which were exactly the same. No difference. Secret beach itself was beautiful with hammocks, kayaks, etc available.
Enjoyed it. Would have liked it to be a little longer but we were able to get great photos and see some sea turtles. If you are already at the Kualoa Ranch, then I recommend to do this too! Boat ride was nice and views were amazing!!! Tour guides were very informative.
I was nervous at first during my first parasailing experience, but the view was amazing and it felt great. I want to participate again when I go to Hawaii.
初めてのパラセーリングで、最初はドキドキしましたが、景色も最高で、とても気持ち良かったです。またハワイに行ったら、参加したいです。
Thank you!
Mahalo!
I experienced 150 meters. I have a fear of heights, but I wasn't scared at all. The hotels in Waikiki, contrasting beautifully with the blue of the ocean and the blue of the sky, were stunning.
150mを体験しました。高所恐怖症ですが全然怖くありませんでした。海の青と空の青に映えるワイキキのホテル群がきれいでした。
A nearby experience from Honolulu that felt just like a seabird adventure. The weather was nice, the wind wasn't too strong, and the view of Honolulu from the sea was beautiful.
ホノルルから近場で、まるでウミドリ体験。
天気もよく〜、風も強くなく〜、海からのホノルルの眺めもキレイでした〜。
My first time in Hawaii, and I wanted to do some activities, so I ended up trying parasailing.
When I got on the shuttle bus, there were several groups of people who would also be boarding the boat. Since I'm prone to seasickness, I took some motion sickness medication, changed my clothes, and headed to the boat. Two people are paired together, and once the gear is on, we take off with the signal "Go!" The moment we lift off was exciting yet a bit scary (like the feeling before a roller coaster drops), but once we reached the sky, it felt like a different world.
I felt like I was floating up high, with the boat and ocean seeming very far below, and I could see the streets of Hawaii at eye level. All I could think was how "beautiful" it was. We went up and down several times. Before going down, they asked if I wanted to splash in the water, and when I said yes, I was quite literally dropped into the water (laughs). Even as someone who gets scared easily, it was an activity that made me not want to come down and made me want to experience it again.
The guide was a handsome muscular guy. He also took pictures during the parasailing (which I believe cost an additional $30 on-site), creating great memories.
初めてのハワイ、せっかくなら何かアクティビティもしたいと思い、パラセイリングにたどり着きました。
送迎バスに乗り込むと、一緒に船に乗り込む方達何組かいらっしゃいました。
船酔いに弱いため酔い止めを服用し、着替えてからいざ船へ。
2人1組で器具が装着され、「Go!」を合図に高く飛び立って行きます。
飛び立つ瞬間はワクワクしながらも少し怖い気持ち(ジェットコースター落ちる前のような)もありましたが、上空にたどり着くとそこは別世界。
上空で浮いて止まっている感覚で、船や海がとても遠く下に感じられ、目線にはハワイの街並み。
とにかく「きれい」という言葉しか出ませんでした。
何度か下げられたりまた上げられたり、を繰り返します。
下がる際に水チャポンがしたいかは事前に確認され、したいと答えるとわりとドボンと着水させられていました(笑)
怖がりの私でも、降りたくない・また体験したいと思うアクティビティでした。
ガイドのお兄さんはイケメンマッチョ。
パラセイリング最中の写真も撮ってくれ(確か別途その場で$30)、いい思い出になりました。
Due to a change in the trade winds a few days ago, my son was stung by a Portuguese man o' war (electric jellyfish) that washed ashore. It was quite a situation, but the beach is truly beautiful and a wonderful place. After receiving first aid, my son relaxed on the grassy area.
I think many Japanese people are not very aware of the dangers of the Portuguese man o' war, so for those with children, it's important to do some image searches beforehand and be cautious not to touch them. It seems that they can wash up not only in Kailua but also in Lanikai and Waikiki. Additionally, jellyfish warnings are issued about 9 to 12 days after a full moon.
貿易風の流れが数日前から変わった影響で流れ着いたカツオノエボシ(電気クラゲ)に息子が刺されて、大変でしたが、ビーチは本当に綺麗で、素敵なところです。
刺された息子は応急処置後、芝生の広場でのんびり休息していました。
日本人はあまりカツオノエボシの怖さを知らないと思うので、お子様連れの方は、事前に画像検索などをして、触ったりしないように注意が必要ですね・・・。
カイルアだけでなく、ラニカイ、ワイキキでも漂着することがあるそう。
また満月の9~12日後はクラゲ注意報が出るそうですよ。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are truly sorry to hear that your son was stung by a jellyfish while you were enjoying the tour.
We have confirmed the situation with the local operating company, and as you mentioned, jellyfish tend to appear around the full moon, and there are customers who may get stung. As a precaution, the operating company has lifeguards on duty with boards to alert customers on days when jellyfish are present. Additionally, for customers who do get stung, they provide first aid, just as they did for your son on that day. We will continue to take care to ensure that customers do not get stung on days when jellyfish are likely to be seen.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback during this busy time.

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
ツアーをお楽しみいただいていたところ、息子様がクラゲに刺されてしまったとのこと大変残念に思います。
当日の状況を現地催行会社に確認いたしましたところ、お客様がおっしゃる通り、満月の前後になりますとクラゲが出やすく、刺されてしまうお客様もいらっしゃるとのことでした。催行会社では対策として、クラゲが見られる日はライフガードがボードを抱え、お客様に向けて注意喚起をしているとのことです。また、刺されてしまったお客様には、当日の息子様同様、応急処置をさせていただいているとのことでした。今後もクラゲが見られる日につきましてはお客様に刺されないよう注意をしてまいります。
お忙しい中、貴重なご投稿を賜りまして、誠にありがとうございました。

The children had a great time splashing in the water and squealing with joy. It might not be suitable for those who get seasick, but I recommend it for those who don't have any worries.
水しぶきを浴びながら、キャーキャー言って、子供達は凄く楽しんでくれました。
船酔いする方には向かないかもしれませんが、心配ない方にはオススメです。
Overall, a good experience for new comers.
Our instructors were awesome.
Thanks Goofy Foot Surfing!
We all experienced kayaking for the first time in our lives. It was fun. Snorkeling was also fun and food was good too.
Aloha,
Thank you so much for joining us during your Hawaiian vacation, and for leaving us this awesome, positive feedback. Please come see us again next time!

Parasailing is always available in tropical regions, but this tour was incredibly efficient compared to other companies I've tried. The pickup, parasailing, and drop-off were all very smooth. Thanks to that, I was able to relax in the afternoon. Also, it had been raining right up until just before we started, so we got to see a beautiful rainbow the whole time!
パラセイリングは南国では常にやっていますが、このツアーは今までの他社と比較しても一切無駄がなく、お迎え、パラセイリング、送りだけでとてもスムーズでした。お陰で午後もゆっくり過ごせて助かりました。
あとやる直前まで雨が降ってたので大きな虹がずっと見えてて最高でした!
The view underwater was incredibly beautiful! Even from the boat, the water was so clear, and I could see fish and turtles. The instructors were all very entertaining, and it was a lot of fun! However, my most bitter memory was getting seasick. Perhaps it was because the waves were high on the day I participated, but even taking motion sickness medication had no effect at all. I was down for about a third of the time. I recommend getting plenty of sleep and participating in a good condition.
海の中に入るとすごくキレイな景色でした!
船の上から見ても水中がすごく透き通っていて、魚も亀も見れました。
インストラクターさんも皆さんとても面白い方ばかりで、楽しかったです!
が…、一番の苦い思い出が船酔い。参加した日が波が高かったからか、酔い止めを飲んでもまったく効果がないほど。
1/3はダウンしていました。十分に睡眠を取り、快調な状態での参加をお勧めします。
I was hesitant to participate due to my fear of heights, but after seeing various reviews stating that it wasn't too scary, I decided to go for it. I'm so glad I participated! I felt no fear at all and it was incredibly exhilarating. I definitely want to join again.
高所恐怖症のため、参加をためらっていましたが、様々な口コミを見てあまり恐怖を感じないとのことだったので思い切って参加しました。
参加して大正解でした!
全く恐怖心はなく、大爽快でした。
またぜひ参加したいと思います。
I thought about going parasailing when I went to Hawaii, so I decided to participate! I was a bit anxious about whether I would understand the explanation in English, but they kindly made it clear for me, which put me at ease.
Being up in the sky feels amazing! Even someone like me, who has a bit of a fear of heights, enjoyed it thoroughly. If I ever go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to participate again. Just a heads up, though—there are no changing rooms, so be careful about that.
ハワイに行ったらパラセーリングと思って参加しました!
でも、どんな感じで空に浮かんで行くのか英語での説明わかるかなとか不安でしたが、親切にわかるようにして下さって 安心しました。
空の上はなんて気持ちがいいんでしょう!
高所恐怖症気味の私でも充分楽しめました。またハワイに行く事があれば、参加したいと思うくらい。
ただ、脱衣所とか無いので注意です。
The crew member was great at getting everyone excited, and my spirits were high! Then we took off and soared into the sky, and I was completely satisfied with my walk in the heavens!
クルーのおにいさんが盛り上げ上手でテンション上がる〜
そしてテイクオフして空に舞いあがり天空のお散歩大満足です!
My friend overslept and was late, but they waited until the last minute. The overseas guests who joined us were also very considerate and kind.
We enjoyed thrilling parasailing with upbeat music playing. It was a bit chilly due to the light rain, and to be honest, the scenery didn't compare to parasailing in Miyako Island, but we did see a rainbow, and there was a fun "splash in the sea" service, so we had a great time. The staff were also handsome! (laughs)
Thank you very much!
友人が寝坊して遅れる中、ギリギリまで待ってくれました。同乗した海外の方も気を遣っていただきとても良い方でした。
ノリノリの音楽を流しながらスリル満載のパラセーリング。
小雨が降っていたので少し肌寒く、正直景色は宮古島のパラセーリングには勝らなかったですが、虹もみれたし、海ポチャサービスもあってなかなか楽しめました。スタッフもイケメンでしたし!笑
ありがとうございました!
The tour varies significantly depending on the weather and wind strength. On the day I participated, there wasn't much wind, and it was sunny, so I had an amazing time! Both staff members couldn't speak Japanese, but they had great energy and made all four pairs participating have a fantastic experience! One thing, though, I was thinking of going up to 120 meters, but I wasn't specifically asked about it, so I'm not sure how high we actually went, haha. Well, I guess as long as you go up a certain height, it might not matter too much.
天候や風の強さによってかなり変わるツアーです。私が参加した日はそこまで風もなく、晴天でしたので最高に楽しめました!スタッフさんは2名とも日本語を話せない方でしたが、ノリが良く参加した4ペアともに最高に楽しませてくれました!1点だけ、高さは120でいこうと思っていたのですが、特に聞かれることもなく、結局何メートルまで上がっていたのかは不明でした、笑。まぁ何メートルでもある程度上がればそこまで気にならないかもしれないです。
Great time, my husband and I throughly enjoyed ourselves and would recommended this to anyone, at any age, as well as at any health issues, we both felt extremely safe and you did not need to know how to swim.
My husband is not in the best of health and it was a great experience on his bucket list.
It's so much fun! It's just so much fun! I can't explain it, even though it's just like flying a kite in the sky. The sky and sea of Hawaii, along with the cool and humorous crew, turn it into an extraordinary experience. If you want to feel energized, you absolutely have to try it. It will make your heart feel big and bright.
楽しいっ!楽しい楽しい楽しいっ!!なんなんだろう、ただ凧みたいに空に舞い上がるだけといえばだけなのに、ハワイの空と海と、カッコ良くてユーモアに溢れた乗船スタッフが極上の体験に変えてくれます。元気になりたかったら絶対体験するべき。心が大きく明るくなります。
It was the first activity of the morning, and it felt great. The staff were lively and it was the best experience. It was also fine for my 5-year-old child.
朝一のアクティビティでしたが、きもちよかったです。スタッフの方もノリがよく最高の体験でした。5歳の子供でも問題なかったです。
This is an optional tour that departs from the beach in front of the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel and returns in about 1.5 hours, making it easy to join. We enjoyed a great time on a catamaran yacht that can accommodate up to 30 people, taking in views of the hotel area and Diamond Head from offshore Waikiki. A camera is a must, as you'll be able to capture some truly Hawaiian photos. The captain is a cheerful woman who really enhances the atmosphere.
シェラトンワイキキホテル前のビーチを出発し1.5時間くらいで戻れて気軽に参加できるオプショナルツアーです。30人は乗れるカタマランヨットでワイキキ沖からホテル群やダイヤモンドヘッドを眺め楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。カメラは必携です、とてもハワイらしいいい写真が撮れますよ。またキャプテンは陽気な女性で雰囲気を盛り上げてくれます。
My husband and I did this for the first time and we had a truly wonderful experience! Kevin was a great guide! He was helpful, kind, informative and thoughtful by taking photos and suggesting what to do and what not to do to get the best experience. We loved the snorkeling and the sea cave experience! I did get nauseas so I suggest you bring an antinausea medication, also unfortunately we didn't see the dolphins. But other than that we loved it!!
For our 10th wedding anniversary, we chose this for our first 8-night trip to Hawaii, as it was my husband's top priority. On the day, there were a total of 8 people: the two of us, two newlyweds, a couple in their 60s, and two daughters in their 20s. Everything went smoothly from departure to return. In the end, my husband was very happy, so it was worth it! I was a little scared, though.
結婚10周年で、夫婦で行く初のハワイ旅行8泊旅行の際、旦那の1番やりたいことだったので、こちらを選びました。
当日は、私たち2人と新婚さん2人と60代程のご夫婦&20代娘さん2人の合計8人でした。
行きから帰りまでスムーズでした。
結果、旦那大喜びだったのでよかったです☆私はチョット怖かったです。
