All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

Since it was a Japanese instructor, I felt安心して参加できました. I participated with the desire to see a honu, so I was worried about the weather on the day of the event. Although the sea was slightly murky, I was able to meet the honu I had longed to see, and the instructor took many photos for me, creating wonderful memories.

日本人のインストラクターの方だったので、安心して参加できました。ホヌに逢いたい願望で参加したので、当日は天候が怪しくて心配もありました。実際に海は若干の濁りがありましたが念願のホヌにも逢え、インストラクターの方にたくさん写真を撮っていただきいい思い出になりました。

The initial date I had booked was canceled due to weather conditions. It wasn't raining, but it was probably quite windy. I received an email about the cancellation around 8:00 AM on the day of the event, so I recommend checking your email before heading to the location. If the event is canceled, you can choose to either get a refund or reschedule. I opted to reschedule. The process is completed on the Veltra website. Since bad weather is unavoidable, if you really want to go parasailing, it's a good idea to incorporate it into the earlier part of your Hawaii trip so that you can reschedule if it gets canceled. I appreciate that safety is prioritized.

It was my first time parasailing, and I was a bit scared, so I chose the 120m option. Even at 120m, it was high enough, and the view was beautiful, which made me very satisfied. The boat was small and quite fast, so it's better to take motion sickness medication beforehand. I filmed a video of my parasailing experience with a GoPro, and I'm glad I got some very immersive footage.

At one point, I was splashed into the sea and got a little wet, so it's better to wear a swimsuit. If you're bringing a camera or smartphone, I think it's a good idea to put it in a waterproof case just in case. Since I participated in January, it was a bit chilly, and wearing a rash guard was just right.

最初に申し込んでいた日は天候のためキャンセルになりました。雨は降っていませんでしたが、おそらく風が強かったのでしょう。当日の朝8:00頃メールでキャンセルの連絡があったため、当日現地に向かう前にメールチェックするのがおすすめです。キャンセルになった場合、払い戻すか、日程変更するか選べます。私は日程変更しました。手続きはベルトラのサイトで完結します。天候不良はどうしようもないので、パラセーリングを絶対したい場合はハワイ旅行の最初の方の日程に組み込んでおいて、キャンセルになっても日程変更できるようにしておくのも手です。安全第一で実施していただきありがたいです。

初パラセーリングで怖さもあり、高さ120mを選びました。120mでも十分高く、景色もとても綺麗で満足しました。船は小型でかなりスピードが出ます。酔い止めは飲んでいった方がいいです。
GoProでパラセーリング中の動画を撮影しましたが、とても臨場感がある動画が撮れて良かったです。
途中、海にドボンされ、少し濡れるので水着で行った方がいいです。カメラやスマホを持ち込む際は念の為防水ケースなどに入れると良いと思います。
1月の参加ということもあり、少し肌寒く、ラッシュガードを羽織っての参加でちょうど良かったです。

I was able to see the honu (sea turtle). It's recommended to go when you have enough stamina, as you'll be snorkeling for a long time. I felt cold and got a bit seasick along the way, but thanks to the instructors, I was able to participate in a fun atmosphere.

ホヌが見れました。長い時間シュノーケリングをする為、体力がある時がお勧めです。途中で寒く感じ波酔いをしましたが、先生方のお陰で楽しい雰囲気で参加出来ました。

Great service,on time pickup. Navigated transportation well. The guides shined with extras such as wetsuits for hire and even prescription mask. In the water they knew where to find the fish and the easiest routes through the reef. Best snorkel tour for beginners. Lots of fun even for experienced snorkelers.

Congratulations to the entire company team and the instructors!

We booked the Kaneohe sandbar standard package as we had our 2 year old kid travelling with us. We got to do a bit of everything swim, snorkel, kayak and paddleboard. My son enjoyed his first kayak ride. There is a good deck once u reach the sandbar where we can relax in between activities. The crew were friendly and hospitalable. We enjoyed the music onboard. I would definitely recommend the Kaneohe sandbar experience to anyone visiting Oahu !!!!

The weather was a bit bad, with many clouds, but Diamond Head looked very beautiful. Also, it was a great experience to see the rainbow at such a beautiful moment! The explanations and reception were provided in Japanese and simple English.

少し天気が悪く、雲は多かったですがダイヤモンドヘッドがとても綺麗に見えました。
また、虹がとても綺麗に見えるタイミングで良い経験になりました！
説明や受付は日本語と簡単な英語で対応いただけました。

The tour was very good.

It was disappointing that the pickup time was delayed. If there is going to be a delay, I would like to be informed by email. The phone line was not reachable. I hope this can be improved.

ツアーはとても良かったです

お迎えの時間が遅れていた事は残念です　
遅れるならメールにて送って欲しいです
電話は繋がらないし　
改善して欲しいです

We had a great experience parasailing. It was definitely a highlight of our trip. The crew was friendly, experienced, and we felt safe and well taken care of. Our group consisted of 2 adults and 4 teens (15 & 17 y/o). We were combined with one other family of 5.

The view from Waikiki to Diamond Head was refreshing! I took off into the sky without even having time to feel scared, so I had no fear at all. The location was easy to find, so I would love to experience it again!

ワイキキからダイヤモンドヘッドまで一望できて気分も爽快でした！怖いとか言う間もなく空へ飛び立ったので、恐怖心は全然なかったです。場所もわかりやすかったので、また体験したいです！

It was fun that the captain and crew talked to us. We searched for whales since they said we could see them, but we couldn't find any that day. The scenery was really beautiful and enjoyable! I have a fear of heights, so I was nervous and held onto the reins the whole time, which made my arms sore when I got off, but it became a great memory. I tend to get motion sickness, so I took some medicine, but I was totally fine.

キャプテンとクルーの人達が話しかけてくれたりして楽しかったです。
クジラ見えるよーって探したけれど、この日は見つけられなかった。
景色が本当に綺麗で楽しかった!!
高所恐怖症でドキドキで、ずっと手綱握ってたから降りたら二の腕パンパンだったけれど、いい思い出になりました。
乗物酔い激しい方なので酔い止め飲んだけれど全然平気でした。

Super fun tour with easy to talk to guide. So many fish to see. Our son even saw an octopus.

This is my second time parasailing. The thrill of rising while feeling the Hawaiian breeze is exhilarating. The view of Waikiki from above is amazing. The timing was just perfect too!

パラセーリングは2回目です。
ハワイの風を感じながら上がっていくドキドキ。上から見るワイキキの景色は最高です。時間的にもほどよくて最高でした！

I experienced some seasickness, so medication was essential!

However, it was amazing.
It was a short time, so I didn't get tired and had a great time.
Thank you!

船酔いもあったので、薬必須！

しかし、最高でした。
短い時間だったので、疲れず楽しかったです。
ありがとうございます。

We did this just 8 months ago and we brought the rest of the family with us this time. There was 8 of us and everyone participated in all of the activities and it didn't matter that the weather wasn't perfect, the aloha shared by this team is what made this experience wonderful. Thank you for making our Obana's day!

It was my first time parasailing and my first time in Hawaii, so I was a bit anxious, but it was an incredibly satisfying activity!! The waiver for accidents was also provided in Japanese, so I could sign it with peace of mind. I had a great view of Waikiki, and I could see Diamond Head as well. Since I enjoyed the wonderful scenery, I highly recommend it to anyone who is considering trying it!

初めてのパラセーリングかつ初めてのハワイで不安でしたが、とても大満足のアクティビティでした！！事故の際の誓約書等も日本語で作成されており安心してサインできました。ワイキキが一望できて、ダイヤモンドヘッドも見えました。素晴らしい景色を楽しめたので、迷っている方は是非トライしてみてほしいです。

We had an excellent adventure on our morning trip. The crew was great and took care of every possible detail to ensure all the guests had a good experience.
The live music was an added bonus that we truly enjoyed! Highly recommend this as a great way to spend a few hours on the water.

The view from the sea was great! The staff's explanations in English were easy to understand, and they had a good vibe. On the way back to the beach, we spotted dolphins, and even though they said we had just 5 minutes left, they took the time to let us enjoy watching the dolphins until they disappeared. I was very satisfied. It was a lot of fun!

海から見る景色、良かったです♪
スタッフの方の説明（英語）も分かりやすかったですし、ノリも良かったです。
ビーチに戻る途中に、イルカを発見したのですが…あと5分で戻るよぉ〜と言いつつも、イルカが見えなくなるまで時間を使ってくれ、大変満足しました。
楽しかったです。

we got luck that the tour went out, and lucky we felt! great catch and a memorable christmas morning thanks to the crew

I had an experience that matched the description! The staff could speak a little Japanese, so communication was possible.

内容通りの体験ができました！スタッフの方々も日本語が少しできたので、コミュニケーションもとれました。

I experienced jet skiing and parasailing. It was great that the height for parasailing was updated. It was very high and gave me a sense of exhilaration that I don't usually get to experience. Jet skiing was very authentic; at first, it was difficult to maintain balance, but I gradually got used to it, and it was so much fun that the time flew by.

ジェットスキーとパラセーリングを体験しました。パラセーリングの高さはアップデートして良かったです。とても高くて普段味わえない高揚感でした。ジェットスキーはとても本格的で最初バランスを取るのが難しかったですが、次第に慣れてきて、楽しすぎてあっというまの時間でした。

The 150m course was amazing. It felt about twice as long as I imagined, and the operator's skills were excellent, creating a fantastic feeling of weightlessness. 😀

150mコースが最高でした。
想像の2倍くらいの長さに感じて、オペレーターの操作も上手くて　浮遊感が最高だった😀

I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in 30 years. We arrived in an 8-passenger van before the parking lot opened, but there were quite a few cars lined up. Thanks to our guide departing early based on the previous day's situation, we were able to enter quite smoothly. It seems that tour guests can enter preferentially. Before descending to Hanauma Bay, we watched a video and received explanations, which took about 30 minutes. We descended about 30 meters down a steep slope in a large buggy that holds around 15 people. In the past, there were many fish near the shore because people fed them, but now there aren't as many. Following our guide, we were shown the areas where the fish are, from the left side of the bay to the right. Along the way, we were able to see a turtle. Additionally, we spotted a whale spouting outside the bay.

30年ぶりにハナウマ湾に行きました
8人乗りのバンで、駐車場の開場前に着きますが、結構車が並んでいます
ガイドさんが前日の様子から早めに出発したため、結構スムーズに入場できました
ツアー客は優先的に入場できるようです
ハナウマ湾に降りる前に、説明、ビデオを観るので、30分ぐらいかかります
ハナウマ湾までは、30mぐらいの急な坂を15人乗りぐらいの大型バギーで降ります
以前は、餌を与えていたため、波打ち際まで多くの魚がいましたが、今は余りいません
ガイドさんに従って、湾の左側から右側まで、魚がいるところを案内してくれます
途中でカメを観ることができました
また、湾の外にクジラの潮吹きが見られました

I have experienced various optional tours overseas, but this was the best. After jumping out of the boat and rising a little, it was nice to touch the water once. Then, we quickly ascended to the sky, and it was dynamic. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from above was amazing. The flying time was about 10 minutes, but it was a great tour overall.

今まで海外で色々なオプショナルツアーを体験しましたが、一番良かった。
船から飛び出したあと、少し上がったあと、一度、着水するのも良かった。
その後、一気に上空まで昇り、ダイナミックでした。
上空からのダイアモンドベッド、ワイキキビーチの眺めは最高でした。
飛んでいる時間は10分ぐらいでしたが、それ以上にいいツアーでした。

I didn't expect to be able to ride in such a short time. At first, we practiced paddling on the beach for a few minutes, and then we went straight to the ocean. Since I don't have the skill to read the waves, they helped me find my way. Honestly, it was my first time going that far, and while it was good at first, I gradually started to feel tired.

The muscles used the most in surfing might be in the neck and arms.

You look forward while riding the surfboard, so your neck is engaged, and your arms are moving with the paddle. Especially before catching a wave, you really have to paddle hard, which I think leads to fatigue. But when you finally catch a wave, all the costs and tiredness just disappear. You feel like you've accomplished something.

こんな短時間で乗れるとは思ってなかった。
初めは、パドリングを砂浜で，数分レッスンの後，即海へ。
波を見る技量が無いので探してくれる、そこまで行くのが正直初めてだとはじめはよいですが、徐々に体力が

サーフィンで1番筋肉を使うのが
首と腕かもしれません。笑

首はサーフボードに乗りながら前を見るので、腕はパドルで動かすので、特に波に乗る前にガンガン回すので、疲れが来ると思います。
でも、乗れた時は金額とか、疲れとか、もはや無いですね。乗れたってなります。

We had such a such a great time with Dan and Keico. They were very caring, excellent services. We saw a school of fish, beautiful tropical fishes, and a turtle! We would not be able to venture so far without their guide. Dan’s Japanese was exceptionally good, it is hard to believe he learned it in Hawaii! Thanks for the unforgettable experience!

I have a severe fear of heights, and I was hesitant, but I signed up because of my child's wishes, and it was for 150 meters. My hand gripping the rope was tense, and it was tough, but when I looked around, I was overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery of the blue sea and sky, Diamond Head, and Waikiki Beach. To top it off, a rainbow welcomed us. It lasted about 10 minutes. It became the best experience of this trip.

私は極度の高所恐怖症で、気乗りしませんでしたが、子供の希望もあり申込、しかも150メートルを。ロープを持つ手は力が入りすぎ、大変でしたが、周りを見渡すと、青い海と空、ダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキビーチと景色の素晴らしさに圧倒されてしまいました。おまけに、虹まで歓迎してくれました。時間にして10分程度でしたでしょうか。この旅行において、最高の体験となりました。

I was worried about the weather since I participated in January during the rainy season, but it was great weather! The waves were small, and it was perfect for stand-up paddleboarding! I enjoyed Kailua Beach and Lanikai Beach so much that I felt like I didn't have enough time. The instructors and the staff were friendly and very easy to talk to. Thank you, Tomo, for teaching me so patiently!

私が参加したのは1月の雨季ということで、天気はメッチャ心配していましたが、いいお天気！波も少なくsup日和とも仰っていました！時間が足りないくらい、カイルアビーチ、ラニカイビーチ楽しませていただきました。インストラクターの方も、お店の方も気さくで、とても接しやすかったです。tomoさん、丁寧に教えてくださり、ありがとうございました！

Kaneohe Bay was an unforgettable day on the water! The crew was welcoming and friendly, the music set the perfect vibe, and there were plenty of fun water activities to enjoy. The spacious deck provided a comfortable spot to relax right at the Sandbar, and the snorkeling experience was incredible, with some of the best fish to see up close. Highly recommend!

Amazing place and nice people will definetly go back again
