November in Hawaii is the rainy season, and my reservation was canceled just before the start date. I received an email saying to call the English-only reception, so if the weather looks suspicious, it's better to change your reservation on the website in advance. The day after I rescheduled, I flew through a rainy sky and saw a rainbow at my feet. I didn't have the luxury to take leisurely photos, but my feelings were: scary! Beautiful! Amazing! Quiet!
Luggage is stored in the space under the seat on the boat. A few times, I was splashed up to my waist or chest. If your hotel is nearby, you can return there afterward, but if it's far, there aren't many places to change (maybe just a public restroom on the beach after a bit of walking), so be careful about getting wet.
11月のハワイは雨季なのもあら予約日は開始直前で開催中止になりました。
英語のみの受付に電話する様にメールが来るので、天気が怪しい場合は先にサイトから予約変更するといいです。
振り替えた翌日はお天気雨の中飛んで、足元に虹が見えました。
ノンビリ写真を撮ってる余裕なんて無かったですが、怖い!綺麗!スゴい!静か!という感想です。
荷物は船の座席下のスペースに置いて飛びます。
海面には何度か腰下〜胸元くらいまでは落とされビシャビシャになります。
ホテルが近いなら終わった後にホテルに戻ればいいですが、ホテルが遠いと着替える場所とかはないので(あってもしばらく歩いたビーチの公衆トイレくらい)濡れたままでどうしよう…となるので気を付けてください。
海には落とされるので水着、拭くものは必須です。

My family has been in Hawaii for a week, and one of the last things we had to do was take a boat tour to Kaneohe sandbar. It came very highly recommended to us, so I found this tour and booked it! Mannnnn, this was THE SINGLE BEST thing we did all week. The boat crew was amazing. Captain Calvin was stellar, along with the whole entire crew. We were so impressed with how much fun we had! The weather was perfect for snorkeling, the kids had the best time being whipped around the ocean on the banana boat, the food was good, the music was amazing! Everything was just perfect. I didn’t want to get off the boat. Cannot lie, the Hawaiian people are the best people. Their kindness is unmatched. We had a great time. Thank you to everyone who made our boating experience amazing.
Bring some extra snacks, especially for your bigger kids. Make SURE you have sunscreen! Have fun!

This is such an awesome trip and with the perfect amount of time to still do other things back on the island. The trip to the sandbar and back was its own experience in itself with the donuts, juice and live music. That live music was AMAZING, they are so talented and sing so well.

We participated as a couple.
We've been to Hawaii several times, but this was our first time signing up for this activity.
It was really fun! It was a unique experience that you can only have in Hawaii. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean, and the scenery from above was amazing.
There were only two groups, including us, and since the ride was just under 40 minutes, we didn't feel too seasick. If there had been more groups, we might have felt nauseous.
We stayed at a hotel with an ocean view, so even after the experience, we enjoyed seeing from our balcony, "Oh, they're parasailing! That's the one we did!" every time we looked out.
夫婦2人で参加しました。
何回かハワイに行ってますが、初めて申し込みました。
結果とても楽しかったです!ハワイならではの貴重な経験ですね。海側から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッド、空から見渡す景色は最高でした。
私たち含めて2組のみで、乗船時間も40分弱くらいだったため、そこまで船酔いはありませんでした。組数が多くてもっと乗っていたら酔ったかもしれませんが。
海が正面に見えるホテルに泊まっていたので、ベランダから「あ、パラセーリングしてる!あれ私たちが飛んだやつ!」って終わったあとの日々もなんか見るたびに楽しめましたね。
I had planned to do it the day after arriving in Hawaii, but it was canceled due to strong winds. I was able to reschedule for two days later and successfully experienced it. Since things like this ca
ハワイ到着日翌日に予定していましたが、強風でキャンセルになりました。2日後に変更することができ無事に体験できました。
こんなこともあるので、滞在前半に予約をおすすめします。

This was probably one of my favorite activities that I’ve ever done in all of my visits to Oahu. On the short boat ride over to the sandbar we were treated to live music, drinks, sandwiches and an explanation of what we would be doing for the day.
We started by stand-up paddle boarding, then as we were relaxing and floating we saw a turtle cruise by the area. The captain asked if we would like to see some turtles. Of course we said yes, and he took our small group out to the area where turtles are known to be. What an amazing experience! There were probably more than 10! After that we were lucky enough to have Captain Calvin tell us about this sacred place. He grew up close by.
Every single crew member was kind,helpful and genuinely interested in everyone having a good time. They made sure to explain each activity. They provided snorkel gear, stand-up paddle boards, and kayaks. I would say that this is great for couples, families, pretty much anybody.. There was a really cool floating dock with seating and an area with a volleyball net.
Some people had added banana boat rides and tube rides. I think it’s really cool to be able to add extras if you want them. The people who did it looked like they were having a lot of fun!
On our next trip to Oahu, we will definitely come back.
If you drive, give yourself extra time to find parking.

I participated in the first reservation of the day. I was a bit nervous before it started, but once I took off, it was fun, beautiful, and felt amazing—just the best! I was a bit concerned that the color of the sea was different from what I expected and that I could only see Diamond Head at the very end, but I thought it was understandable since it depends on the time of day, wind direction, and weather. I believe I can see new scenery every time, so I would love to do it again if I have the chance. Lastly, I found the time on the boat to be scarier than flying in the air... The boat moves as if it's bouncing over the waves, so I think it's better to be prepared for that!
朝一番の予約で参加しました。
始まる前は少し緊張しましたが、いざ飛んでみれば、楽しくてキレイで気持ちよくて、最高でした!
海の色が思っていた色と違ったこと、ダイヤモンドヘッドが終わり間際にしか見られなかったこと、などが気になりましたが、参加する時間帯やその日の風向き、天気に左右されるから、仕方ないかなと思いました。
毎回新しい景色が見られると思うので、機会があればまたやりたいです。
最後に、空を飛ぶ間よりも、船に乗ってる時間の方が、私には怖かったです…。船が、波の上を跳ねるように進むので、覚悟して参加した方がいいと思います!
I didn't get seasick, but I think people who are prone to motion sickness should take medication. Just to be safe, I also had a light breakfast before participating.
私は船酔いしませんでしたが、酔いやすい人は薬を飲んだ方がいいと思います。私も、念のため、朝ごはんを控えめにして参加しました。

It was amazing. Seeing Waikiki from the sky is exceptional. I made the reservation the day before, but the process went smoothly. The meeting point is near the Prince Hotel.
Be aware that you'll need to pay 1 dollar at check-in. Once a few groups gather, we set sail. The boat can sway quite a bit, so be cautious. You can store your belongings in the boat's shelves, but it's recommended to bring only the essentials.
Now, up into the sky. I tried taking photos with a transparent phone case that hangs around my neck. There were some brave souls flying while holding their smartphones directly in their hands.
You can take plenty of pictures in the air, but don't forget to imprint the breathtaking views in your memory as well. In the end, we dove into the sea to finish. I was very satisfied. You can also request photo shooting for 40 dollars.
最高でした。空から見るワイキキは格別です。
予約は前日でしたが、すんなりと手続き完了。集合場所はプリンスホテルの近くです。
受付時に1ドルいるので要注意。
何組か集まれば出港です。船は結構揺れるのでご注意を。
荷物は船の棚に入れられますが、最小限がお勧めです。
いぞ、空へ。私は首からかける透明のスマホケースで撮影を試みました。スマホをそのまま手に持って飛ぶツワモノもいました。
空中では十分撮影できます。ただ自分の目に絶景を焼き付けることもお忘れなく。
最後は海にダイブして終了。大満足でした。
40ドルで写真撮影もお願いできます。

I took motion sickness medication based on other people's reviews and participated. At first, the speed of the boat was quite fast, and it felt like I was on a roller coaster, so I wasn't worried about getting seasick. The parasailing was at a high altitude, but I didn't feel scared at all, and I could see many tall buildings, which was very pleasant. My elderly mother had no issues and said she would like to participate again. A foreign couple in their 70s who were on the same boat mentioned it was their third time, so it seems there are many repeat customers!
他の方の口コミも参考にして、酔い止めを内服して参加しました。
最初かなり船のスピードが速く、ジェットコースターに乗っているような気分だったので
酔うかもしれないと心配になることはありませんでした。
パラセーリングは高い位置でしたが、全然怖さも感じず、高いビルもたくさん見えて
とても気持ちよかったです。
高齢の母も問題なく、また参加したいと言ってました。
同じ船に乗っていた70歳代の外国人夫婦は3回目とのことで、リピーターが多そうです!

It was my first time parasailing. Although it was high, it felt unreal, so my husband, who has a fear of heights and isn't great with the ocean, enjoyed it too! Towards the end, you do get dropped into the sea (but it's not dangerous, just a little wet!).
It's better to wear a swimsuit underneath, but if you're wearing a bikini, it might be a bit revealing, so shorts might be a better option.
We went in groups of 2 to 3 people. The group of four was split into two teams.
Sunglasses, hats, and cameras can be taken up in the air at your own risk! I’m a bit of a scaredy-cat, so I left everything on the boat (laughs). My husband and I commented on how brave the girl with the GoPro was.
Tips are not included, so we gave some to the captain when we got off the boat. Also, they ask if you want to take photos with a DSLR on the boat. We had our pictures taken! After getting off the boat, we paid $40. You can pay in cash or by card. Since it was our honeymoon, we were happy to have those photos! We also received an SD card.
However, there were about two girls on the same boat who looked like they were struggling with seasickness. If you're prone to getting seasick, it might be a good idea to have some medication on hand. My husband and I didn't feel sick at all.
Overall, I was very satisfied. I highly recommend it!
初めてやったパラセーリング。高さはあるけど非現実的なので、高所恐怖症?で海苦手な夫も楽しんでました!最後の方で海にも落とされるので、(危なくはないので大丈夫ですちょっと濡れます!)
下は水着は着てた方がいいけど、下がビキニとかだとちょっと見え方が危ない?ので短パンとか履いたほうがいいかも。
2人〜3人1組で行いました。4人グループのところは2組に分かれていました。
サングラス、帽子、カメラ類は自己責任で空中に持って行ってもOK!私はビビリなので怖くて船に全部置いていきました(笑)
GoProを持って行ってた女の子度胸あるなぁと夫と話していました。
チップは含まれていないので、ツアーが終わって船を降りるときに船長に渡しました。
それから、船の上で一眼レフで写真撮るかどうか聞かれます。私たちは写真撮ってもらいました!船降りてから40ドル払います。現金でもカードでもいけました。新婚旅行だったので撮ってもらえて満足!SDカードももらえました。
ただ同じ船に乗っていた女の子2人くらいは船酔いしていて辛そうでした。酔いやすいなら酔い止めはあったほうが安心かも。私と夫は全く酔いませんでした。
総じて大満足です。オススメします!

I was hesitant about participating, but after seeing others flying from the beach, I decided to join and registered on the morning of the event. I was able to participate even alone. My Japanese was limited to a few words, but I understood the gist through gestures. I thought it would take about three hours, but since there were only four of us, it finished in about an hour after check-in. I walked back to Waikiki Beach, which took about 20 minutes. The view was great, and I'm glad I took the plunge and participated.
参加ヲさん迷っていましたが、ビーチから飛んで居るのを見て参加を決めたので当日の朝の申し込みです。ひとりでも参加出来ました。日本語は単語程度でしたが身振り手振りでだいたいわかりました。3時間くらいかかるのかと思っていましたが4人だけだったためかチェックインしてから1時間くらいで終わりました。ワイキキビーチまで20分くらい歩いて帰りました。眺めも良く思いきって参加して良かったです。

Despite everything saying advanced swimmer only, I was with two people who could not swim. Both of them required rescue by the guide. I spent the majority of the time bobbing in the water by the beach - waiting for them to get swim lessons. There are many rocks there and I ended up breaking my toe while getting slammed by waves. I was able to scooter around the cove twice even with a throbbing toe. I’m sure the guide could feel that I was irritated and I wanted the experience to end ASAP. The reason for the bad review is that no one even followed up or offered me some money back. Take home point: I would not spend my hard earned vacation money on this again.
*** Refund was issued after Veltra/Hawaii Activities reached out. This was very nice of the owner, but it doesn't change my experience and I did not edit my original review.
You will be starting at the owner’s private residence - this may be awkward for some.

A noticeable small bus welcomed us at the meeting point. There were a total of 17 tour participants, with only 3 Japanese, and all explanations were in English. There was a self-introduction time, so we needed to briefly introduce ourselves in English, mentioning where we were from, how many times we had been to Hawaii, and what we were looking forward to on this tour.
Now, although it has been corrected, I was worried because the tour course I signed up for was supposed to go directly from Honolulu to Haleiwa Town, but it deviated from the course midway. We switched from Freeway H1 to H3, passed through Kaneohe on the east coast, and headed north along the coastline. After passing the famous filming location Kualoa Ranch, we took a restroom break at Tropical Farms. Here, we could sample macadamia nuts and had the experience of cracking the nuts out of their shells with a stone. After a break at a fruit stand, we went to Sunset Beach. It was November, and surfers were challenging the high waves.
Then, the morning activities began, and we chose to take a walk at Waimea Falls Park. The entrance fee to the park was included in the tour price, and the guide paid for it. The course to the waterfall was rich in nature and very relaxing. The water volume of the waterfall was abundant due to the rainy season, which was enjoyable, but during the dry season, the water volume is low, so it's something to be cautious about depending on the date of your visit. We could swim near the waterfall, but it was murky, so we didn't swim. Since we had some time before the meeting time, we had lunch there.
After that, we moved to Haleiwa Town, and in the afternoon activity, we tried SUP (stand-up paddleboarding). The location was behind a shop called Surf & Sea, and life jackets were available at no extra charge. The tour guide provided instruction, and while it was easy to get on the board, standing up required some skill. We could also paddle while sitting on the board, which was enjoyable, and I was thrilled to encounter a sea turtle up close.
Although I was worried because the tour was in a language I didn't understand, I was helped by a friendly guide and friendly tour companions.
目立つ小さなバスが集合場所まで出迎えてくれました。
ツアー客は総勢17人で、その中で日本人は3人だけ、全て英語での説明となります。
自己紹介タイムがあるので、どこから来たのか、ハワイは何回目か、このツアーに期待しているものなど簡単に英語で紹介する必要があります。
さて、現在は訂正されていますが、申し込んだ時のツアーコースはホノルルからハイレワタウンへ直行だったのが途中からコースから外れていたので心配しました。フリーウェイH1から途中H3に移り、東海岸のカネオヘを通過し海岸線を北上。映画のロケ地で有名なクアロア・ランチを通過後、トロピカルファームでトイレ休憩しました。ここではアカデミアナッツの試食ができ、また殻から石でナッツを取り出して食べる体験ができました。その後、フルーツスタンドで休憩した後、サンセットビーチに行きました。行ったのは11月で、サーファー達が高い波に挑戦していました。その後、午前のアクティビティが始まり、私達はワイメア滝公園での散歩を選択しました。公園へは入場料はツァー料に含まれ、ガイドが払ってくれました。滝までのコースは自然が豊かでのんびりと楽しむことができました。滝の水量は雨季だったので豊富で楽しめましたが、乾季は水量が少ないので行く日程によっては注意が必要です。滝壺近くで泳ぐこともできましたが、濁っていたので泳ぎませんでした。集合時間まで時間があったのでここでランチを済ませました。その後、ハレイワタウンに移動し、午後のアクティビティではSUP(スタンドアップパドル)に挑戦しました。場所はサーフ&シーという店の裏で、ライフジャケットは追加料金なしで利用できました。指導はツァーガイドが行い、簡単にボードに乗ることはできましたが、立ち上がるにはコツが要ります。ボードの上に座ったまま漕ぐこともできるので十分楽しめましたし、至近距離でウミガメに遭遇したのに感動しました。なお、貴重品ボックスと荷物を入れるロッカーは簡易なものだったので盗難を心配しましたが、特に問題ありませんでした。集合時間になったらバスに乗り、途中でトイレ休憩後、ホノルルまで送ってくれました。
日本語が通じないツアーだったので心配しましたが、親しみあるガイドと友好的なツアー仲間に助けられました。
Do not forget to make a reservation for Waimea Falls during the dry season. Make sure to take a photo of the guide's notes on the meeting time with your smartphone to keep a record.
ワイメア滝は乾季に予約しないように

My total cost for this excursion was $242.30. It was not worth that price. The crew was sarcastic and snappy. They did lighten up as the morning went on, but my first impression stayed. Fortunately I’m a seasoned swimmer and snorkeling/snuba is easy, so I didn’t require any assistance. Lastly, it’s a big money grab without much service in return. I understand they are a business, but I cannot understand why they can’t pay their employees? Why do they guilt trip you into having to tip every chance they get? Even the emails leading up to it state the expected gratuity. TL:DR Molokini crater is amazing - you should go! Unless you’re dying to try snuba, then go with a different company and have fun.

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.
釣った魚は食べられないかも
集合時間に誰もいないけど後からきます

Sandbar?
It was mainly snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding.
When I went in March, it was a sandbar, but this time it was disappointing. I wonder if it's like this during the rainy season.
However, the performance on the boat was lively.
Snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding were really fun.
It wasn't a course to see the honu (sea turtles).
サンドバー?
シュノーケーリングとサップが中心でした。
3月に行った時はサンドバーでしたが
今回は残念でした。雨季だとこうなのかなー
でもボートの中の演奏はノリノリ
シュノーケーリングやサップはすごく楽しかったです。
ホヌをみるコースではありませんでした。
There are quite a few differences depending on the season and weather.
I think it's better to check the differences when going to look for honu (sea turtles).
次期や天気によってかなり
違いがあります。
ホヌを探しに行くのとの違いを確認した方が良いと思います。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are very sorry that the water level was high on the day of your participation and that we couldn't meet your expectations, but we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the activities. The water level changes daily, so we hope you can come back on a day with a lower tide next time. Thank you for sharing your photos! From all of us at KBOS.
この度はツアーへご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。ツアーご参加当日はあいにく水位が高くご期待に沿えなかった様で大変残念でしたが、、アクティビティは楽しんで頂けた様で嬉しく思っております。水位は日々時間によって変わりますので次回は是非、潮位の低い日を狙ってぜひお越し頂けますと幸いです。お写真シェアして頂きありがとうございました! KBOS スタッフ一同

It was less shaky than I expected, and I felt like I was floating in the sky. The view was great and it felt wonderful. It was a good experience.
思っていたよりも揺れずふわふわーっと空を浮いている感覚でした。
景色もよく気持ちよかったです。
いい経験になりました。
You take a boat to the parasailing location, but it can be quite bumpy. I think it's best for those who are prone to motion sickness to take medication beforehand.
パラセーリングする場所まで船で行くのですが、結構揺れます。乗り物酔いしやすい人は薬を必ず飲んでおいた方がいいと思います。

I took motion sickness medication in advance after reading reviews, but I was still seasick and couldn't enjoy it fully, which was disappointing. It's safer for those who are prone to motion sickness to avoid it. After I got seasick, the staff kindly gave me water and ginger candy, which was very nice of them.
Another person who joined us didn't get seasick at all and had a great time. We were the only Japanese people there, and since we didn't understand any English, I was anxious, but it turned out to be totally fine. I gave a $20 tip.
口コミをみてあらかじめ酔い止めを飲んでいましたが船酔いして十分楽しめなかったのが残念でした。普段から酔いやすい人はしないほうが無難です。船酔いした後、スタッフさんが水と生姜飴をくれてとても優しかったです。
一緒に参加したもう1人は酔わなかったのでとても楽しんでいました。
日本人は私達だけで、英語も全く分からなかったので不安でしたが全然大丈夫でした。
チップ20$渡しました。
