All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I waited for 30 minutes at the meeting point on the day, but the pickup car did not arrive, so I returned to the hotel and had the hotel concierge call. They said on the phone that they had gone to the meeting point on time. On another day, they arranged for me to be picked up at the hotel where I was staying. The driver was very engaging, and I had a great time. During parasailing, there was always music playing on the boat, creating a lively atmosphere. There were two employees, and the airtime was probably about 5 to 6 minutes. At the end, as is customary, I was dropped into the sea. I chose the 150 meters, and I think it was a good choice. The view was truly amazing! I tipped $10 for both of them. They also provided transportation back to the hotel. I'm glad I chose this company, and I would love to do it again if I have the chance.

当日待ち合わせ場所で30分待っていましたが、迎えの車が来ずホテルに戻り、ホテルのコンシェルジュに電話してもらいました。電話では待ち合わせ場所に時間通りに迎えにいったとのことでした。別の日に、ずらしてもらえることになり、会社のはからいで当日は宿泊しているホテルまで迎えに来てくれました。迎えの車ではドライバーが盛り上げてくれる方で、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。パラセイリングでは常に船では音楽が流れていて、ノリノリです。従業員は二人で、滞空時間はおそらく5.6分です。最後にはお決まりのやつで海に落とされます。私は150メートルを選びましたが、150メートルでよかったと思います。本当に眺めが最高です！チップは二人分で10ドルにしました。帰りもホテルまで送迎してくれました。この会社を選んで良かったと思います。また行く機会があればやりたいです。

I participated with my wife, who had her wedding ceremony in Hawaii on the 13th. It was both of our first times surfing. Since I had experience with snowboarding, I was able to catch waves from the first try. My wife was also able to ride well from her second attempt! Riding the waves and returning to the point used muscles I had never used before, and I was really exhausted. However, the instructor was very kind and taught us even though his Japanese was limited, and I was very satisfied! For those trying it for the first time, it can be hard to get into in Japan, but I think it's great to challenge yourself in Hawaii!

13日にハワイで式を挙げた嫁と参加しました。
2人ともサーフィンは初めてでした。私はスノーボードをやってたこともあり、1回目から波にのることが出来ました。嫁も2回目からしっかりのれていました！
波にのっては、ポイントに戻りで今まで使ったことのない筋肉をつかい、すごくバテました。。
でも、インストラクターの方も片言の日本語とはいえ、優しく教えてくれて大満足でした！！
初めての方も、日本ではなかなか手が出ませんが、ハワイでチャレンジしてみるのもいいと思います！

I wanted to take a stroll in Waikiki, so I opted for a meet-up without transportation, but I got lost! When I entered "Hawaiian Parasail" into Google Maps, it guided me there somehow. However, I couldn't make it by the 8:45 meeting time and was 10 minutes late. I was sweating as I spoke to the staff at the counter, but they said it was fine since the activity starts at 9:00.

The boat was quite rocky, and many people were feeling seasick, with some even reversing. However, looking at the parachutes in the air helps reduce motion sickness! It looks quite scary at first, but once you're on it, it's exhilarating and not scary at all! You can even take photos with your phone in a waterproof case.

I chose a medium length for the rope, but it might feel like there's not much difference among the options. Since it's close to Waikiki and you can see Diamond Head beautifully, I recommend doing this activity!

ワイキキをお散歩したかったので送迎なし現地集合にしましたが、迷いました！！
グーグルマップにハワイアンパラセイルと入力すると出てきてくれたので何とか辿り着けましたが…。
8:45の集合時間には間に合わず10分遅刻。汗だくで窓口のお姉さんに話しかけると9:00〜だから大丈夫とのこと。
ボートはかなり揺れるので船酔いしてる方も多かったです。リバースしている方も。
飛んでいるパラシュートを見ると酔いにくいですよ！
見た目はかなり怖いですが乗ってみると爽快で怖さはありません！防水ケースに入れた携帯で撮影もできる余裕があります。
ロープの長さは中くらいのにしましたが体感的にはどれもあまり変わらないかもしれません…。
ワイキキから近くダイヤモンドヘッドも綺麗に見えるのでこちらで乗られることをお勧めします！

Guests at Prince Waikiki may not need a shuttle. The location is right in front of the boat harbor.

After arriving, we waited a bit and it seemed like the previous group had just returned. After a break for the crew, we also set off.

Even while waiting in line, they work hard to keep the excitement going.

120 meters is quite high, and the exhilaration is amazing! The duration is longer than for others, allowing us to fully enjoy the Hawaiian sea, cityscape, and Diamond Head.

プリンスワイキキ宿泊者は送迎不要かも。場所は目の前のボートハーバーです。

到着後、少し待っているとどうも前の組が帰ってきた様子。船員さんの休憩時間を挟んでこちらも出発。


順番待ちの間も一生懸命盛り上げてくれます。

120メートルはかなり高く爽快感がすごいです！時間も他の方より長く、存分にハワイの海と街並み、ダイアモンドヘッドを楽しめます。

It was my first time parasailing in my life.

It felt amazing, and I enjoyed it more than a poorly designed roller coaster.

I might just get hooked on parasailing!

人生初のパラセーリングでした。

とても気持ちよく、下手なジェットコースターより楽しめました。

パラセーリングハマりそうになるくらいでした。

If your looking to spend a beautiful morning in the water followed by a great lunch with highly informative guides then this is for you. I am a highly anxious person and they made you feel at ease and also catered for my allergy to gluten with the whole lunch being gluten free! Picked us up from our hotel and returned us after lunch. Couldn't of been easier!

The paddleboarding at the sandbar didn't go well because of the strong wind, but the underwater scooter was great! The diver took some photos for us, which made for a nice memory. Watching the turtles swim gracefully made me feel very calm.

サンドバーでやったパドルボートは風が強くてうまく行かなかったけれど、
水中スクーターはとても良かった！
ダイバーの方が写真も撮ってくれて、いい記念になりました。
亀が優雅に泳いでいて、とても穏やかな気持になれました。

I participated with 10 colleagues from work! It seems that even those who are not fond of heights enjoyed it, which is great. The weather was perfect✨ I'm glad we were able to create wonderful memories. For those who have never been on a small boat or are prone to motion sickness, taking motion sickness medication is essential!! I recommend preparing what works for your body in advance!

会社の同僚10人で参加しました！高い所が苦手な方でも楽しめたようでよかったです。天気も最高でした✨いい思い出作りが出来てよかったです。小型の船に乗ったことのない方や、乗り物酔いしやすい方は、酔い止め必須です！！身体にあったものを自分で準備しておくことをお勧めします！

It was a fantastic trip , the 2 tour guides were fantastic and knew what they were talking about , made me feel very comfortable and relaxed , I will definitely be back

awesome experience. This was out first underwater activity and at first i was not confident to get into water.. but, the guide was all was there next to me the whole time. you don't need to know how to swim to do this. Don't miss the snorkel with fish and turtle around you.

Sean was fantastic and really wanted us to do well! Highly recommend!

My first parasailing experience was more liberating than I had imagined! The panoramic view was amazing! Before I could even prepare myself for how it would feel to fly, we left the boat, but it was very smooth, and I quickly found myself 120 meters in the air. The instructor also took photos and was great at getting everyone excited, which made it a lot of fun. I would love to do it again. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried parasailing!

初めてのパラセーリング、想像以上の開放感でした！パノラマに広がる景色、素晴らしかったです！どのように飛ぶのか心の準備をする間も無く、ボートを離れましたが、非常にスムーズであっという間に120メートル上空にいけました。インストラクターの方も写真を撮って下さり、場の盛り上げ方も上手でとても楽しかったです。また飛んでみたいです。パラセーリングをされたことがない方、強くオススメします！

I had my first parasailing experience in my life. I tried it at 150 meters, and the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from above was amazing. The transportation was smooth, and I was very satisfied.

人生初パラセーリング体験してきました。
150メートルを体験したのですが、上空から見えるワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの景色は最高でした。送迎も滞りなく、大変満足でした。

This was a fun activity, and totally safe. Our 4 yr old was not too excited at first, but later enjoyed it as we went out into the ocean. The highlight for her was getting to touch the water while sitting in the canoe, and seeing a turtle swimming close to us. The guide was experienced, and wanted to play safe since we had a young kid, but later realized that we could handle going out further into the ocean. It was a blast.

We participated as a couple on our honeymoon. There were about five groups, including us, that boarded the boat, but the boat was quite rocky and bouncy! I enjoy attractions like roller coasters, so I found it fun, but those who are prone to seasickness were getting sick. The parasailing was 150 meters high, and it was very enjoyable without being scary! However, since you end up splashing into the sea at the end, a waterproof camera is a must! I got wet, so I regretted not bringing a change of clothes for the return trip, as it was cold. But we arrived at the hotel quickly, so it was okay. We had a great time!

新婚旅行で夫婦で参加しました。私達夫婦含めて5グループほどで船に乗り込みましたが、船が結構揺れるっ!!跳ねるっ!!ジェットコースターなどが好きなのでアトラクション的に私は楽しめたのですが、船酔いしやすい人はリバースしていました。パラセーリングは150メートルでしたが怖いこともなくとても楽しかったです!ただ最後に海にボチャンされるので、カメラは防水必須です!濡れたので帰りが寒く、上着の着替えを持ってくればよかったなぁとそれだけが後悔しました。しかしすぐにホテルに着いたので大丈夫でした。私達夫婦はとても楽しめました!!

We participated in a surfing lesson starting at 9 AM as a couple. There was a Japanese staff member, so we could join without any inconvenience even though we couldn't speak English. They also helped us paddle from behind, so since it was our first time surfing, we were able to stand on the board. With two or more participants, we received a DVD of the photos, and all the staff members were very kind, so we were extremely satisfied.

朝９時からのサーフィン教室に夫婦で参加しました。
スタッフの方には日本人の方もいたので、英語ができなくても不便なく参加できました。
パドルも後ろから押してもらえたので、初めてのサーフィンでしたら、板の上で立つこともできました。
２人以上の参加で写真のDVDももらえ、スタッフの方も親切な方ばかりでしたので、大変満足です。

I was a bit scared since it was my first time, but I'm glad I chose the highest height. They took a lot of photos for us (which you need to purchase), and it became a nice memory. Also, since I'm prone to seasickness, I did feel a bit queasy while waiting. I took motion sickness medication beforehand, but those who are prone to it should be cautious.

初めてで怖さもありましたが、一番高い高さにしてよかったです。
写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、（要購入ですが）いい記念になりました。
また、船酔いしやすいほうなので、やはり待っている時間に軽い船酔いになりました。
酔い止めのんでからいきましたが、酔いやすい方は要注意です。

I went with my 5 year old daughter and 60 year old mother. We had a great time on the 600 ft line. Wish we could stay up there longer. Jason and Russell - the captain and crewman - were great and a lot of fun. Russell took great photos while we were in the air.

Pick up from the hotel was easy and check in before the boat was easy. No waiting around to get going, which is always nice.

I wanted to go to Hanauma Bay with a different tour company than last time, but it seems that the two plans listed on Veltra are from the same tour company. There is no difference in the guide's content between the two plans (only differences in the included fees). I'm disappointed that the plan names are different but it's the same tour company.
The guide was friendly, but I wonder if it's just me who feels a bit frustrated by how Americanized it is...
There was someone who got seasick. Those who can't swim might feel scared as the waves can pull you in. It requires stamina since you'll be swimming for about an hour.

前回と違ったツアー会社でハナウマ湾に行きたかったのですが、ベルトラに掲載されている２つのプランは同じツアー会社のようです。２プランともガイド内容に差はありません(含まれる料金の違い)。プラン名が違うのに同じツアー会社でがっかり。。
ガイドの方は気さくな感じですが、アメリカナイズされすぎていて少しイライラしてしまうのは私だけなのか…。
波酔いしている方がいました。泳げない人は波に体をもっていかれて恐怖感を感じるかも？ １時間ほど泳ぐので体力いります。

This was my first time booking an optional tour abroad from Japan, so I was filled with anxiety, but I was very relieved when they came to pick me up on time. There were four groups participating, including myself, a Japanese newlywed couple, and two other groups, and the two staff members created a very friendly and homey atmosphere. By the way, they only spoke English.

The height of 120 meters was surprising, and the duration was unexpectedly long and enjoyable! The view was amazing! Lastly, since you will definitely get splashed with water, I think it's better to wear a swimsuit.

海外のオプショナルツアーに対して事前に日本から予約していく事が初めてだったので不安だらけだったのですが、当日時間通りに迎えに来てくれとても安心しました。私を含め日本人の新婚さんと他2組の計4組で参加をしたのですが、担当の方2人がとても気さくでアットホームな雰囲気を作ってくれました。ちなみにどちらも英語のみです。
120m高い,,,(笑)時間も意外に長くて面白かった！景色最高！最後におきまりの水にばしゃんされるので水着は着て行った方が良いと思います。

This was my second time in Hawaii, and I visited Lanikai Beach for the first time! The ocean was incredibly beautiful and the clarity was amazing. I also climbed to the Pillbox, and although it was very tiring, I was able to enjoy the best views! I had plenty of time, so I was able to go into the city as well, and it was a lot of fun!

ハワイ二回目で初めてラニカイビーチに行きました！海はとても綺麗で透明度がやばかったです。
それにピルボックスに登り、とても疲れましたが最高の景色を堪能できました！
時間もたっぷりあったので市内にも行けて、とても楽しかったです！

Everything was great. The team was very helpful, friendly and funny.
We really love Molokini snorkel/snuba site. The turtle town was not that impressive though. We expected to see lots of turtles, but saw only one.

The pickup time was set for 9:40, so while I was getting ready at the hotel, I received a call in the lobby at 8:40 saying that the parasailing vehicle had arrived. I hurriedly got ready, thinking I might have made a mistake, and went to the pickup location. When I handed over the paper, it stated 9:40, but I was told to just get in the car, and the parasailing started right away. Fortunately, I was almost ready, but I felt sorry for causing delays for the other participants. I don't know where the mistake happened, but I hope they won't schedule it an hour early again. The parasailing itself was fun.

ピックアップ時刻が9:40になっていたので、ホテルで準備をしていたら8:40にロビーから部屋まで連絡がありました。パラセーリングの車が来ていると。自分が間違っていたかもしれないと急いで準備しピックアップ場所まで行きました。その時紙を渡す時9:40と書いていたのにそのまま車に乗ってと言われそのままパラセーリングも開始されました。準備がほとんど終わっていたのでよかったものの、結果的に他の参加者の方にも遅れた事で迷惑をかけてしまい申し訳なかったです。どこで間違いがあったのかわかりませんが、1時間も早いのは辞めて欲しいなと思いました。パラセーリング自体は楽しかったです。

I participated in this trip because I wanted to take my 5-year-old daughter to Kailua, where we went for our honeymoon! I was nervous until the pickup, but we safely boarded and headed to Kailua. There were changing rooms and lockers for valuables, so it was安心 for families with children. The staff were all friendly and kind. My daughter really warmed up and kept talking to Mieko (is that the right name?). I’m sorry for interrupting your work!

We headed to the beach at 9:30 and were able to relax until 3 PM with a lunch break in between. It was quite windy that day, which made things a bit challenging, but we had a really great time.

Next time, when my daughter can ride a bike, I’d like to go to Kailua Town.

Thank you to all the staff!

以前新婚旅行で行ったカアルアに、5歳の娘を連れて行きたくて参加させていただきました！
ピックアップまではドキドキしていましたが、無事に乗車しカアルアへ。
更衣室も、貴重品用のロッカーもあり、子連れでも安心です。
スタッフのみなさんもフレンドリー&親切でした。娘もすっかり打ち解けてしまい、みえこさん(名前あってます？)にずっと話しかけていました。お仕事のお邪魔してすいませんでした！

９時半にビーチへ向かい、ランチを挟んで３時までのんびり過ごすことができました。
当日はとても風が強くて少し大変でしたが、本当に楽しかったです。

次回は娘が自転車に乗れるようになったら、カイルアタウンに行きたいと思います。

スタッフのみなさま、ありがとうございました！

It was my first time surfing, but thanks to the longboard, it was easy to ride! Although it mentioned that the lessons would be in English, I was pleasantly surprised that they spoke to me in Japanese, which made it easier for me to enjoy surfing!

初めてのサーフィンでしたがロングボードのおかげで簡単に乗れました！また英語でのレッスンと書いてありましたが、意外と日本語で話しかけてくれて安心してサーフィンを楽しむ事が出来ました！

I had an amazing experience! My friend, who is not good with heights, was also very moved. I definitely want to use this again when I come to Hawaii!

すごく良い経験をさせていただきました！
高いところが苦手な友人もとても感動していました。
またハワイに来る際にはぜひまた利用したいです！

The crew onboard was awesome! Very friendly and made the trip entertaining. Drinks prices were very reasonable for Waikiki. Boat ride was great, but be ready to get wet. Alot of people got soaked head to toe. Boat was too crowded, would have rather paid a higher price for a more private feel. Overall very fun experience with amazing views of Diamond Head and Honolulu.

I took this tour with my 8 year old and I wouldn't call this the highlight of our trip. I consider both of us in fairly good shape, and kayaking up Wailua was still quite challenging, especially with the wind. The tour guide seemed to be in a hurry so it added to the stress. The hiking part was quite difficult with rocks, roots, steep climbs and descents. Here again, our tour guide rushed through the forest, not even waiting for some of the slower group members. The "scrumptious" advertised lunch was awful - a stale deli sandwich and a pre-packaged cookie. The waterfall was the only redeeming moment of this tour. All in all, unless you're an adventurous young couple in good shape, I would not recommend this tour.

There are people who can speak Japanese, so the procedures can be done smoothly. The lessons are in English, but the explanations using physical demonstrations make it easy to understand.

日本語を話せる方もいて手続き等はスムーズにできます。レッスンは英語ですが、体を使っての説明なのでわかりやすいです。

A few weeks ago, I made a reservation here and participated in the activity. The shuttle bus arrived right on time in front of our hotel. Perhaps because it was early in the morning, there were only four of us, including ourselves. The two women we were with mentioned that they would be returning to their home country a few hours later, and they were advised to be careful not to drop anything in the sea. It was great that the staff confirmed this with everyone.

After arriving at the port, we boarded the boat, and while we were swaying with the waves, we put on life jackets. I think it would be smoother if you change into clothes that you don't mind getting wet before this point. All luggage is stored under the boat seats. We brought a digital camera and had a smartphone in a waterproof case hanging around our necks, ready to go.

Before taking off, I entrusted the digital camera to the two women we were with, and they took photos while we were flying. I’m not sure if this is why, but there were no sales of the photo data mentioned in other reviews.

The boat's swaying (which was probably intentional, haha) was fine, but I got really seasick while flying, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication in advance.

The view while flying was as wonderful as others have said. The two women we were with were very kind and gentle, and all the staff were cheerful and friendly, making for a very enjoyable time.

数週間前にこちらで予約し、参加してきました。
宿泊先のホテル前に時間ぴったりに送迎バスが到着。朝早い時間だったからか自分達を含め合計4人だけでした。
一緒だったお二人の女性は、数時間後には帰国されるとのことで、海に落とさないようにお伝えされていました。スタッフさんが全員に確認されていたのが良かったです。
港に着いてしばらくしてからボートに乗り、波に揺られて移動している間に、救命胴衣などが装着されていきました。この時までに濡れて困る服などの着替えを済ませておくとスムーズに進むと思います。荷物は全てボート座席下に収納します。自分達はデジカメを持ち、防水ケースに入れたスマホを首にかけてスタンバイ。
飛ぶ前に、一緒だったお二人にデジカメを託し、飛んでいる間の写真を撮って頂きました。そのためかどうかわかりませんが、他の方の口コミにかかれている撮影データの販売はありませんでした。
ボートの揺れ(恐らく敢えて揺らされています笑)は大丈夫でしたが、飛んでいる間に酷く酔いましたので、酔いやすい方は予め酔いどめを飲んでおく方が良いと思います。
飛んでいるときの景色は他の方も仰っているようにすばらしかったです。一緒だったお二人はとても親切で優しく、スタッフの方は皆さん明るく親切でとても楽しい時間になりました。
