All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

Super fun w/ excellent service and a hilarious crew! Would DEFINITELY recommend and will be back again myself. My son (13) could not get enough of the tube and banana boat rides!!

Before boarding, I was really nervous, but the staff who love sharks helped ease my anxiety, making the wait enjoyable. Parasailing takes you up into the sky all at once, and that moment feels like an attraction, which is thrilling! But soon, I got to enjoy the incredible view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from above, which was absolutely amazing.

乗船する前はドキドキでしたが、サメが大好きなスタッフさんが、気分をほぐしてくれて待ち時間も楽しかったです。パラセイリングは一気に空へ連れていかれますが‥この瞬間がアトラクションみたいで興奮❗️でもすぐにワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを空から見るという最高の景色が味わえて最高でした。

The weather is everything. If you've decided to participate in this activity, you should reflect on your daily actions, pray for clear skies, and wait for that day with a pure heart. We fell short in our efforts and ended up with a cloudy day. If you wish to have a pickup, just let them know your hotel, and they will usually come to pick you up nearby. We were staying at the Royal Hawaiian, so we arranged to meet in front of Ross across the street. We took a bus to the pier and then boarded the ship! Onboard, we filled out a liability waiver and set off for about a 20-minute sail. My mother-in-law, who is prone to seasickness, seemed to be in good spirits, which added to the sense of stability. Donuts and drinks are first come, first served. By the time we returned, the donuts were sold out. I have no complaints about the sandbar itself. You can relax on the boat or enjoy kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. On the day we participated, it was quite windy, and we could hardly see any fish or turtles.

天候が全て。
このアクティビティに参加を決めたなら日々の行いを改めて、晴天を祈り、清い気持ちでその日を待つこと。
私たちは精進が足らず曇りの日となってしまった。
ピックアップを希望する場合は宿泊ホテルを伝えるとだいたい近くに迎えに来てくれる。
私たちはロイヤル・ハワイアンに宿泊していたため、道路向かいのROSS前に待ち合わせだった。
桟橋までバスで移動し、いざ上船！
船上で免責同意書を記載し、20分程度の航行。船酔いしやすい義母も機嫌良さそうだったため、その点も安定感がある。
ドーナツとドリンクは早い者勝ち。帰りにはドーナツは売り切れ。
サンドバー自体にはなんの文句もない。船上でまどろむもよし、カヤックやSUPに興じるもよい。参加日は風が強く、魚や亀はほぼ見えず。

It was really great!
I definitely recommend it!

☆ Positive Points
★ We were blessed with good weather, and it was incredibly beautiful.
★ Even as a first-time snorkeler, I had a lot of fun because it was a shallow area where I could stand comfortably.
★ It was also my first time kayaking, but the staff helped me get on properly, and when I drifted a bit, the captain's boat shouted, "Come back! Keep paddling!" which made me feel reassured.
★ I was worried about seasickness, but I didn't feel it at all.
★ The lunch was very delicious.
★ All the staff were foreigners, but two of them spoke Japanese very well, even able to make jokes, and they were great at explaining and answering questions. Everyone was smiling and it was a really nice team.
★ The music played on the boat was very Hawaiian and really good.
★ When we got out of the water, the captain (a foreign woman) made us warm tea, which was delicious! I appreciated the thoughtfulness!

☆ Negative Points
★ I was expecting to walk on the white sand, but since I joined the afternoon course, it was high tide. I heard from the staff on the boat that you need to join the morning course to walk on the water during low tide. I was disappointed because I had high expectations. I should have checked properly.
★ There were no showers on the boat, just a changing room, but that was still helpful. However, there were only two hooks for hanging things like plastic bags inside the changing room, so it would have been nice to have a basket or something to put our clothes in.

☆ Other
★ As advice, I felt this tour was more suited for adults. There were families with toddlers, and they might have enjoyed it to some extent, but for families with young children, Hanauma Bay, where fish come close to the beach, might be a better recommendation. (This is just my personal opinion.)

☆ Lastly
★ I participated with my daughter in her 20s, and we had a lot of fun! It was really different from Waikiki Beach and Hanauma Bay, and it was great!
I definitely recommend it.
I’m really glad I joined this tour. Thank you very much to all the staff!

とても良かったです！
ぜひオススメです！

☆良かった点
★お天気に恵まれ、すごく綺麗でした。
★シュノーケリング 初めての私でも、足がほどほどにつく 浅瀬だったのでとても楽しめました。
★カヤックも初めてでしたが スタッフの人がちゃんと乗せてくれたし、 少し流された時には 主のボートから「戻って〜！頑張って漕いで〜！」と大きな声で指示していただけて安心でした。
★船酔いも心配でしたが 全くしなかったです。
★ランチもとても美味しかった 。
★スタッフ全員が外人でしたが、2人 日本語が話せる人がいて 冗談も言えるぐらい上手だし、説明や質問もOKだし、全員が笑顔で楽しく とてもいい スタッフでした。
★船内の演奏もハワイらしくて、すごく良かった。
★海から上がった時 暖かい紅茶を 船長さん(外人の女性) が淹れてくれて美味しかった！ 気遣いが嬉しかった！

☆残念だった点
★白砂で海上散歩できると期待してましたが、 私が参加したのは昼からのコースなので満潮。朝からのコースに参加しないと引潮で海上散歩できないと船の中でスタッフに聞きました。 期待していただけに残念。ちゃんと調べておけば良かった。
★船内にシャワーは無く更衣室だけでしたが、 それでも助かりました。 ただ更衣室の中は ビニール袋など 掛けるフックが2つだけなので、 着替え等が置けるカゴなどが置いてあったら有難かったです。

☆その他
★アドバイスとしては、大人向きのツアー かなと 感じました。幼児を連れている人もいて それなりに楽しめたかもしれないけど…幼児連れのご家族なら 砂浜に魚がすぐ寄ってくるハナウマビーチの方が おすすめかもしれません。(あくまで個人的な見解です。)

☆最後に
★20代の娘と2人で参加しましたが とても 楽しめました！ ワイキキビーチ や ハナウマビーチ とはまた違って、すごく良かったです！
是非オススメです。
このツアーに参加してホント良かったです。スタッフの皆様 本当にありがとうございました。

Since there were originally four of us, we planned to ride in pairs, but suddenly we became three. I thought we might have to split into a pair and a single, but we were able to ride together as three! It was a great experience!

最初4人だったので、2人ずつで乗る予定でしたが、急遽3人になり、2人と1人で分かれて乗らないとダメかなとは思ったのですが、3人で一緒に乗れました！いい体験が出来ました！

Kids loved this, they loved the high line and the crew was really good at connecting with them!

My kiddos wanted to do this, I was scared as heck but the views from above sure did get me!!

I arrived at the reception area earlier than my reservation time, and I was told, "We're leaving, GoGo!" without knowing what was happening, so I boarded the boat and set off to the sea. I thought there would be some explanation, but a young crew member just kept saying, "Put this on, okay, okay," as I was getting ready (sweat). After getting everything on, I was guided to the stern ahead of those who had boarded earlier, and before I knew it, I was flying with the parasailing (laughs). However, being up in the sky was refreshing and fun, and it ended in no time. It's an activity I would like to try again if I have the chance. After confirming the SD card with the photos taken from the boat, I purchased it. My husband managed to film some video while we were flying.

予約時間より早めに受付場所に着きましたら、
もう、出発するからGoGo！と言われ何もわからずに乗り込み、海へ出発
何か説明があるのかと思いきや、若いクルーの男の子に
次々にこれつけて、はいはいという感じ(汗)
装着しおえて
先に乗船していた方々より先に、船尾へ案内され
わけのわからないうちに、パラセーリングで飛びました笑
でも、空の上は、爽快で楽しくあっという間に終わってしまいました。また機会があればやってみたいアクティビティです
写真も船より撮ってもらったSDを確認後、購入しました。
飛んでいるの動画は、主人がなんとか撮ってくれました

It was our first time and had a great experience! Thank you so much for everything!

The cheerful and service-oriented staff took plenty of photos for us, and we were blessed with great weather; the view from above was absolutely wonderful. I definitely want to participate again on my next trip to Hawaii.

陽気でサービス精神旺盛なスタッフに写真もいっぱい撮って下さり、お天気にも恵まれ上空からの景色は最高に気持ちよかったです。
次回のハワイもまた必ず参加したいです。

It was a long-awaited trip to Hawaii with my daughter. She wanted to go to Hanauma Bay, which we visited many times when she was a child, so I tried to access the Hanauma Bay entrance site at 7 AM two days ago to make a reservation. However, as I was entering the information, the availability quickly disappeared, so I signed up with Veltra.

The price felt a bit high, but once we participated, we were impressed by the guide's thorough information and they took us to the outer reef, which we would have been worried about going to on our own. We encountered three sea turtles and had a wonderful time.

On the way back, we also received recommendations for nearby restaurants and local information, which made us very satisfied. During snorkeling, the guide was present both in front and behind our group, allowing us to enjoy it with peace of mind. I was also really pleased to receive the photos the guide took from Facebook.

If you're hesitating to sign up, I absolutely recommend it!

娘と久々のハワイの旅でした。
子供の頃に何度も行ってたハナウマ湾に行きたいと娘が言うので、2日前の朝７時からのハナウマ湾入場のサイトにアクセスして取ろうと思ったのですが、入力してるうちにみるみる空きが無くなってしまい、ベルトラさんに申し込みました。
料金は少し高い気がしたのですが、参加してみたらガイドさんの丁寧なインフォメーションと、自分達では行くのが心配になるリーフの外まで案内して頂き、ウミガメ3匹と遭遇
素晴らしい時間を過ごしました
帰りがけにも、ホテルに近いオススメのレストランや現地の情報も頂き、とても満足しました。
シュノーケリングの最中もグループの前後に、ガイドさんがいて下さるので、安心して楽しめました。ガイドさんが撮って下さった写真もFacebookから頂けて本当に満足しております。

申し込もうかと迷ってる、絶対おすすめです‼️

We had an amazing time, it was a great experience for both of us, staff and musicians was very welcoming, thanks to the musicians guys for singing a birthday song for my man. It was a pleasure.

In the morning, we went on a Kaneohe Bay cruise, and surprisingly, the waves were quite high, causing some people to get soaked inside the boat. The guide was amazing!!! The lunch buffet featured tender and delicious pork and chicken. The calamansi and pineapple juice were also good. In the afternoon, we took a lot of photos at Jurassic Village, and it was a very satisfying day (✿^‿^).

午前は、カネオヘ湾クルーズ、思いのほか波が高く、船内に波がザバ〜ン・・びしょ濡れになった方も。ガイドさん最高！！！
ランチビュッフェは豚肉、鶏肉が柔らかくて美味しかった。カラマンシーとパイナップルジュースもgood。午後から、ジュラシックビレッジでたくさん写真を撮り大満足の1日でした(⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠)

I couldn't make it to the meeting place on time, but I felt a bit relieved that my husband and I were the only participants. The guide was someone I had met a few years ago, which was another relief. Getting in and out of the canoe was a bit challenging, but while paddling, I asked the guide various questions and he recommended a delicious hamburger place. It was great when we went there afterward! Thank you very much. As I get older, paddling the canoe is becoming more difficult. I would be happy if you could create some other tours as well.

待ち合わせ場所に時間にたどり着けなかったが、参加者が私たち夫婦のみで少し安心。ガイドさんも何年か前にお世話になった方でまた一安心。カヌーの乗り降りは少し大変でしたが、カヌーを漕ぎながらガイドさんにいろいろ尋ね、美味しいハンバーガー屋さんも教えていただきました。その後食べに行ったら美味しかったです！ありがとうございました。
年をとると段々カヌーを漕ぐのもしんどくなってきています。
他に何かツアーを作っていただけると嬉しいです。

Lots in one morning, but the views are unbeatable!

First, we received a very clear and enjoyable explanation from the Japanese staff, and then we boarded the ship! The interior of the ship was very clean, and the donuts for a light snack were delicious. The banana boat ride was thrilling and a lot of fun. Personally, I wanted to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and it was a great experience to do it in such beautiful waters. We were also able to enjoy warm drinks, and the staff were all very cheerful, energetic, and kind, making for a wonderful time.

最初に日本人スタッフさんによるとても分かりやすくて楽しい説明を受けていざ乗船！
船内はとても綺麗で軽食のドーナツもとても美味しかったです。
バナナボートはスリル満点でとても楽しかったです。
個人的にはSUPがやりたかったので綺麗な海でやることができとても良い経験になりました。
温かい飲み物もいただけたりスタッフのみなさんとても明るく元気で優しく素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。

I chose this experience to create lasting memories for my friend's first trip to Hawaii. Two guides accompanied us, and the three of us—my friend and my husband—got into a five-person canoe. The location was the beach in front of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.

First, we received a lecture on how to ride the outrigger canoe and how to hold the paddle on land. We pushed the outrigger canoe from the sandy beach into the sea. Then, we sat in designated spots in a line and started paddling out to the waves, waiting alongside the surfers. The instructions were given in Japanese, such as "Pull harder!" and "Opposite!" so we just kept paddling.

It was reassuring to have guidance on the wave points and timing. The view from the sea was incredibly beautiful compared to what we usually see from the beach. We rode three times, and it was harder than I expected. It was a lot of fun!

友人の初ハワイの思い出に残るように今回チョイスしました。
2人の方がアテンドして下さり、友人と私たち夫婦3人で5人乗りのカヌーに乗ります。
場所はロイヤルハワイアンホテル前のビーチから。
先ず陸地でアウトリガーカヌーの乗り方やパドルの持ち方をレクチャーしてもらいます。
5人で砂浜から海にアウトリガーカヌーを押して海に入ります。
そして縦列に仕切られている枠に座りパドルを漕ぎ出して波の向こうに行き
サーファー達と並んで波を待ちます。
濃いで！反対！早く！と指示は日本語で声がけしてくれますから、ひたすら漕ぎます。
波のポイントやタイミングもアテンドがあるので安心でした。
日頃はビーチから見る景色を海から見るのは凄く綺麗でしたよ。
3回ライドしましたが思った以上にハードでした。
楽しかったです。

I am satisfied with the guides' knowledge and humor. On the way back, the kayak was moving too fast and we returned earlier than planned. It would have been better if the guide had encouraged the participants to paddle more slowly and enjoy the river cruise at a leisurely pace.
Even an 8 year old girl was able to keep up well enough.

The reservation process was smooth, and the staff was excellent⭐︎ It gets quite wet, which is also great. The music, the wind, and the sea made for an incredibly happy time. My high school son and my 84-year-old parents were both thrilled⭐︎

予約もスムーズに出来て、スタッフも最高⭐︎
かなり、濡れます。それも最高。
音楽と風と海　最高に幸せな時間でした。
高校生の息子も、84才の，両親も感激してました⭐︎

I attended this tour with my mom, who is over 50 years old and does not know swimming at all. My mom was quite excited and worried about this tour, and was about to quit at the very first start, while Dan told us not to nervous, taught us how to breath with our mouth and even a little swim skills. After that, my mom and I succeeded to finish this tour and we saw a lot of different fish with Dan’s guide. That was fun. We really appreciate Dan for giving us such a perfect snorkeling experience, will try again when we visit Oahu again in the future, hope we could do better next time :D)))

I took the catamaran for the first time with an online reservation. The color of the sea when you go out into the open water is incredibly beautiful, even more so than what you see from the beach. I was worried about getting seasick as the waves got bigger, but the splashes of water were refreshing, and the wind felt great, making it a wonderful experience. You can order drinks, so please bring cash. The hour and a half passed by in no time. For those who haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend it!

ネット予約で初めてカタマラン号に乗りました。
浜辺で見る海よりも、沖に出て見る海の色は最高に綺麗でした。
波が大きくなると船酔いも心配でしたが、波飛沫も新鮮で風も気持ちよくて、とても良い経験ができました。
飲み物は注文できますので現金をお持ちくださいね。1時間30分があっという間に過ぎてしまいました。
まだ乗ったことのない方、絶対におすすめです！

The sandbar didn't appear, so the scenery was just a shallow area, which was disappointing, but I was able to see a lot of fish and enjoyed a fun time kayaking. The live music on the boat was performed very well, and it was really good.

サンドバーは現れなかったので景色的にはただの浅瀬で残念だったんですが、お魚も沢山見れたし、カヤックにも乗れて楽しい時間を過ごせました。　　　船上ライブミュージックは歌が上手でがとても良かったです。

Nice Excursion- took their shuttle from Waikiki (extra fee) which took about 40 min because had 3 other hotel stops. Boat to Sandvar was about 10 min, lunch was tasty, music on boat was terrific and added ambiance. Was a cloudy day and even rained but even though chilly and not ideal was fun to have the opportunity to canoe ride, paddle board and snorkel in one area and one fee. Banana boat and tube ride (right at arrival to sandbar) was SUPER fun, lasted about 5 min each. Felt it should be longer for price per person. Overall was a nice afternoon experience, for cost though would say unless you do all of the activities it’s pricey. Staff was professional and friendly.

I couldn't see the pure white island, but I enjoyed snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding (though the strong winds made it less elegant). The live music was surprisingly good, adding to the tropical atmosphere.

真っ白な島は、見れませんでしたが、シュノーケリングしたり、SAPしたり、楽しめました。（ただし風が強くて、優雅なSAPとはいきませんでしたが）
思いのほか、生演奏が良かったです。南国ムードましましでした。

It was my first time, but I had a great time. Just before it started, I was scared and thought about canceling, but I'm glad I went through with it. It wasn't scary at all.

初めてでしたが楽しかったです。
直前になり怖くてキャンセルしようかと思いましたが、やってみて良かったです。
全く怖くありませんでした。

I went without a shuttle, but I was able to get there with just one bus from in front of Ala Moana! The return bus took a while to arrive, so I spent some time at the nearby beach, but it came in about 30 minutes! The experience itself was great, as there was a guide who spoke Japanese, which made me feel very at ease! I also got to see sea turtles!

送迎なしで行きましたがアラモアナの前から1本のバスで行けました！
帰りのバスがなかなか来なかった為、近くの海で時間潰しをしましたが30分ほどで来ました！
体験自体も日本語が話せるガイドさんがいてすごく安心しました！
ウミガメも見れました！

The weather was great, and seeing Diamond Head from the sky was amazing. The crew was also very lively, and it was a truly enjoyable time that passed by in the blink of an eye.

天気も良くダイヤモンドヘッドも上空から見れて最高でした。クルーの方もノリも良く大変楽しいひとときであっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。

Normally, you need to reserve tickets individually two days before the desired date, but considering the risks of not being able to secure them and the travel involved, I applied for this tour. During the summer vacation period, if you go for the morning session, there can be long traffic jams due to people hoping to buy same-day tickets. If I had gone individually, there would have been many confusing situations, so I’m really glad I went on the tour. Since it was in the morning, the water temperature was low, and I rented a wetsuit for $10. Thanks to that, even someone like me who gets cold easily was able to enjoy the experience fully. I didn’t see any sea turtles, but it was sunny with high visibility, and I was able to see a lot of fish, which was great. The guide was very knowledgeable, and the smooth guidance provided a sense of security, which was very good.

本来であれば参加希望日2日前に個人でチケット予約しなければいけないのですが、うまく取れないリスクや移動のことも考えこちらを申込ました。
夏休みの時期は午前の部の場合ですと当日券目当てに長い渋滞が発生します。
個人でもし行っていたら色々混乱しそうな場面が多かったのでツアーで行って本当に良かったです。
午前ということもあり水温は低く、10ドルのスーツをレンタルしました。おかげさまで寒がりの私でもフルで楽しめました。
海ガメは見れませんでしたが晴れていて透明度が高く、魚がたくさん見れて良かったです。
ガイドさんの知識が豊富なのと案内がスムーズで安心感がありとても良かったです。

I went up to a height of 150 meters! It was so much fun! It felt like I was in the air longer than I expected, and the views were amazing as they changed directions, making it truly feel like I was flying.

The boat was relatively fast, and the waves were quite strong, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious. I took motion sickness medication before going, but it was still a close call! I wore a swimsuit, but only my toes got wet.

After the activity, I gave a tip when getting off the boat. Later, I purchased the photo data for $40 at the reception. They quickly transferred the data to my smartphone and also gave me an SD card. However, for some reason, the date on the photo data was set to 2020, which was a bit disappointing, but it felt very much like Hawaii, haha.

It was a fun activity in a short amount of time!

高さ150メートルにしました！とても楽しかったです！
思ってたよりも長く空中にいた感覚で、見える景色も、色々と方向変えてくれていて、ほんとに空を飛んでるかのようでした。

船のスピードも割とあり、波も激しかったので、酔いやすい方は注意です。
わたしは酔い止め飲んで行きましたが、ギリでした！
水着を着て行きましたが、足先が濡れる程度でした。

終了後、船を降りる時にチップをわたしました。その後、受付のところで写真データを40ドルで購入しました。スマホにすぐにデータを入れてくれて、SDカードも頂けました。
ですが、写真データの日付がなぜか2020年となっていて、、、ちょっとそれが残念でしたが、まぁハワイだなーという感じで笑笑

短時間で楽しいアクティビティでした！

Dan thought of everything that would make our trip extremely successful. His knowledge of marine life was excellent. Attention to safety was paramount and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience.
