All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

We were all beginners at swimming and snorkeling but had a good time. The underwater photos and video was a good keepsake for our family.

This is my third time in Hawaii, but it was my first time participating in this tour. Since it included a Japanese-speaking guide, I was a bit worried about what it would be like, but the tour guide turned out to be one of the crew members and was very good at Japanese. They made the experience enjoyable with jokes and a fun atmosphere. The guide provided thorough explanations about the types of fish and the sunken ship, and I was able to encounter turtles, sharks, and manta rays, which made me very satisfied.

ハワイへは、3回目になるのですが、初めてこのツアーに参加しました。日本語ガイド付きということもあり、どんな感じだろー??と心配しながら参加しましたが、ツアーガイドさんが、なんとクルーの1人でとても、日本語が上手でジョークも交えながらとても楽しく過ごせました。魚の種類や沈んでいる船の説明もしっかりしてくれて、カメやサメ、マンタ??にも遭遇できて、とても満足しています。

The driver for the shuttle was very energetic and we had a great time getting to the location. The parasailing offered a fantastic view of Waikiki and we could see Diamond Head clearly, which was absolutely amazing! I was able to bring my GoPro, so I could capture videos and I'm really looking forward to watching them later.

I was concerned about managing my valuables and didn't bring any money, so I missed out on buying photos, which was a bit disappointing. However, it turned out that it was perfectly fine to bring valuables. Also, we had the option for a water landing, and although I got wet, there wasn't a place or time to change, so I went back to the hotel as I was.

送迎の運転手さんのテンションが高くノリノリで現地まで行けました
パラセーリングもワイキキが一望でき、ダイヤモンドヘッドもよく見え最高に楽しかっです！
goproを持って出来たので動画で残す事ができ後で見るのがとても楽しみです。
貴重品管理が気になりお金を持って行かなくて写真が買えなかったのが残念
全然貴重品は持っていって大丈夫でした
また、着水も選択でき、濡れたのですが着替える場所とタイミングがなくそのままホテルへ戻りました。

The guides were great and it was a casual relaxing boat ride with pretty views of Diamond Head and Waikiki. Didn’t get to see much but it was nice to be out on the water.

I participated with my elementary school child. We brought our own snorkeling sets. It was a luxurious experience that we don't get to have often. I will definitely join again next time.

小学生の子供つれての参加です。シュノーケリングセットは自分たちのを持って行きました。なかなか体験できない贅沢な時間でした。次回も是非参加します。

It was 150 meters. It was really great!
I thought there was relatively little wind in the morning, but up high, it sways side to side. It’s thrilling!
Looking down is really scary.
If you ask, they will take pictures from below.
You’ll receive them on an SD card for $30. I think it’s worth buying.
After coming down, there’s a wait time for others, but the loud reggae music on the boat really gives you a vacation vibe.
Watching is fun, but it can make you quite dizzy.
I’m not usually prone to motion sickness, but motion sickness medication is a must!
For those meeting on-site, the building doesn’t show up on Google Maps, but once you go, you’ll easily spot the light blue-roofed hut.

150メートルでした。すごく良かったです！
午前中は比較的風が少ないと思ったのですが、上の方は横揺れします。スリル満点！
足元を見るとすごくこわいです。
頼めば下から写真を撮ってくれます。
SDカードで渡されます。30ドルです。買ってもいい感じだと思いますよ。
降りてきたあとは他の人の待ち時間ですが、船上で大音量のレゲエがなんともバカンスな気持ちにさせてくれます。
見てるのも楽しいけどかなり酔います。
酔いやすい方ではないですが、酔い止め必須です！
現地集合の方は、Googleマップだと建物出てこないですが、行けば水色の屋根の小屋が見えるのですぐわかります。

The experience on the catamaran, sailing with the wind, was fantastic! It was great to interact with the other passengers as well. The captain and the assistant were handsome, which made me happy. I definitely want to ride again!

風を受けて走るカタマラン号が最高でした！乗合の方も楽しくて交流も出来たので良かったです。
キャプテンとアシスタントの方もイケメンで嬉しかったです。
また絶対乗りたいです！

The teacher is handsome, and I thought he only spoke English, but he can speak quite a bit of Japanese too. We all had a great time surfing together!! It was so much fun! 😊

なんといっても先生がイケメンだし英語オンリーだと思っていたら日本語も結構話せるし皆で楽しくサーフィン出来ました！！
最高に楽しかったです(^^♪

I was quite worried about whether the event would take place due to the strong winds, but it was held as scheduled. The sea was very rough, and out of five groups of passengers, one newlywed couple had to turn back because the wife was feeling nauseous and couldn't move. They ended up not being able to go parasailing. Six minutes really goes by in the blink of an eye.

この日はかなり強風で決行するのか心配でしたが予定通り開催されました。海も大荒れで5組の乗客のうち、1組の新婚カップルの奥様が吐き気で身動きできず、結局ご主人様と2人はパラセーリングをすることが出来ずUターン。6分間は本当にあっという間です。

I went parasailing for the first time in Hawaii! I couldn't imagine how high 150 meters would be, but it was a bit shaky, and the view was amazing!

The guide was really funny, so definitely try to chat with them!

When we went, there were about six groups, but the boat rocked quite a bit, and we had to stay on the boat until everyone was done, so I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication. Out of the 12 participants, three people felt unwell. Make sure you're in good health and have a great time making memories!

ハワイにて人生初めてのパラセーリングでした！
150mがどのくらいの高さが想像できなかったのですが、多少揺れるけど、景色は最高でしたー！

ガイドの方が面白いのでぜひ話してみてください！！

私たちのときは6組くらいで行ったのですが、
船がかなり揺れるのと、みんなが終わるまでは船に乗っていなければいけないので、
酔い止めを飲んでおくのが良いと思います。
参加者12人中3名が気分が悪くなっていました。
体調も万全でいって、楽しい思い出にしてください！

The instructor is a Hawaiian uncle (or grandfather?) who seems to have merged with the sea, a true professional. He was very friendly and remembered some necessary Japanese phrases (like "paddle" and "paddle more").

When you go into the water with the instructor, you can go quite deep. I was able to see a turtle swimming by. I can't forget the turtle that looked over at me while taking a slow breath.

Whether you're traveling as a couple or with family, you absolutely should try paddle surfing!

先生はハワイアンのおじさん（おじいさん？）で、
もはや海と同化しているようなプロです。
感じもよくて、必要な日本語も覚えていました。
（漕いで～、もっと漕いで～など）

先生と海に入るときはかなり深いところまで行けます。
カメが横を泳いでいくのも見られました。
ゆっくり息継ぎをしながらこっちをじろりと見たカメさんが忘れられないです。

二人旅でも、家族でも、パドルサーフィンは絶対やったほうがいいですよ！

Superrrr fun will definitely recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great experience! Easy sign up, inexpensive, great crew.

Only suggestion is to be more specific as to where to meet.

We participated with a total of nine relatives. The weather was great, and the sunset over Honolulu from the boat was amazing. There were not many Japanese people, but several military parties were on board, and everyone was having a great time from the start. The boat didn't rock too much, so I didn't get seasick. Next time I come to Honolulu, I would love to go again.

親類総勢９名で参加しました。天気もよく船上から見るホノルルの夕焼けは最高でした。日本人は少なく軍人のパーティが何組か乗船して出発から大乗で楽しんでいました。船はそんなに揺れなくて船酔いはしませんでした。
次回、ホノルルに来たら又、乗りたいです。

The surfing instructor looked just like Tom Cruise, and he was kind, cheerful, and fun. The older sister I learned with was also friendly and kind, and we became really close. I want to do it again.

サーフィンの先生はトムクルーズにそっくりで、優しくて愉快で楽しかったです。一緒に学んだお姉さんも気さくで優しくて、すごく仲良くなりました。またやりたいです。

I experienced 150 meters. During our time, there were 11 people on the boat, and since it was in pairs, one person in each group was an observer. We took turns jumping, and the staff was well-organized and smooth in their arrangements. I could speak a little Japanese, and although one person was feeling a bit seasick, they were very kind in their response! They take photos for $40, and while pretending to cut the rope, they captured great shots during the jump and landing, making for wonderful memories. The view from above was great, and we had quite a bit of time, so we were able to relax and enjoy the scenery of Hawaii! Thank you for bringing my wife along. I was satisfied saying that!

150メートルを体験しました。私たちの時はボートに11人乗船し、2人ずつなので5組内1人は見学でした。順番に飛ばしていくのですが、スタッフさんの段取りもよくスムーズでした。多少日本語が喋れるし、1人船酔い気味の人がいましたが、とても親切に対応してました！写真を40ドルで撮ってくれるのですが、ロープを切るフリをしながら撮影や着水撮影、その他良い写真を撮ってもらって良い思い出になりました。上空では眺めも良く結構時間があるので、ハワイの風景を眺めながらゆっくりした時間が過ごせました！奥さんは連れてきてくれてありがと。言っていて私も満足しました！

Diving down to 100 feet, we could see the sunken ship and artificial coral reefs. Around them, many fish, sharks, and turtles swam gracefully. It seemed like the kids really enjoyed this first-time experience.

100フィートまで潜水すると、沈められた船や人工の珊瑚礁が見えました。そのまわりに沢山の魚やサメ、亀が優雅に泳ぐのが見えました。初めての体験に子供達も楽しめたようです。

This is my second time participating, following last year! This time, the boat swayed a bit in the breeze, but I was able to enjoy it with participants from Kuwait! I'm writing this while enjoying the beautiful scenery and feeling the wind, and I definitely want to participate again! 😊

去年に続き2回目の参加です！
今回は少し風が吹くなか船が揺れましたが、クウェートからの参加者と一緒に楽しむことができました！素敵な景色を堪能して風に吹かれてまた参加したいと思いながらこれを書いてます(^^)

I made a mistake with the meeting place, but when I contacted the local office, they didn't understand me very well. Just when I was wondering what to do, I received a call from a VELTRA staff member who arranged for someone to come and pick me up from my current location. Thanks to that, I was able to go parasailing! Thank you very much.

Parasailing was very pleasant, and I had an amazing experience.

集合場所を間違えてしまいましたが現地連絡所に連絡かけたところあまり伝わらずどうしようと思っていたらベルトラスタッフから電話がかかって来て今いる場所迎えに来てもらえるように連絡して頂きそこで乗せてもらいパラセーリングをすることができました！
ありがとうございました

パラセーリングはとても気持ち良くすごくいい体験が出来ました

It was my first time parasailing, and even at 150 meters, it was not scary at all and was really fun! I would love to try a higher one if available! There were three other groups, and two of them were Japanese, who were very nice people, so I had a great time. I think it's better to wear a rash guard since you get a bit wet! Also, I recommend bringing a bath towel! I gave a tip of $10 per person (to two crew members and one driver, totaling $30). Please use this as a reference!

人生初のパラセーリングでしたが、150mでも全然怖くなくて楽しかったです‼︎もっと高いのがあればやってみたいです‼︎
他にも3組いましたが2組は日本人でとても良い人達だったので楽しく過ごせました♪
多少濡れるのでラッシュガードは着てった方が良いと思います‼︎
あとバスタオルも持って行った方が良いと思います‼︎
チップは1人10ドル渡しました‼︎（船の乗組員2人と送迎ドライバー1人、合計30ドル）
参考にして下さい‼︎

It's a wonderful activity where you can enjoy the scenery of Hawaii from the sky in a relaxed manner. Before starting, I was a bit nervous thinking it might be scary, but in reality, it wasn't scary at all. You ascend slowly and descend slowly, so there's no fear of falling, which is reassuring.

If I had to say something, I felt a bit uneasy not being able to confirm if we were at the height we ordered. If you can't speak English, you can't properly communicate with the instructor about the height. Since the prices vary, it's better to avoid any worries in this regard.

ハワイの空から景色をほのぼのと眺められるとても良いアクティビティです。
始める前は怖いかな？とドキドキしていましたが、実際には全然怖くありませんでした。
ゆっくり上がり、ゆっくり降ろしてもらえ、落ちる恐怖感もないので安心できます。

強いて言えば、注文したプラン通りの高さなのか自分では確認できないところが若干不安ですね。
こちらが英語が話せないとインストラクターの方にちゃんと高さが伝わってるのか確認できません。
料金が異なるので、この辺りの憂いは無いほうがいいですね。

I was quite anxious because they didn’t arrive even by the meeting time (laughs). The voucher mentioned to call if they didn’t show up after five minutes, so I called, and they explained in English that "a blue car is coming, so please wait another five minutes." I waited a bit longer, and in the end, they were 20 minutes late (laughs). The driver also said something like, "I’m really sorry!!!" and apologized, and he had a likable character, so I convinced myself that maybe it’s rare for them to arrive on time (laughs).

Now, about the experience, the view from 150 meters was amazing! My husband and I got to experience it together as a pair. Before it was our turn, they handed us a Japanese instruction manual, so we could confirm details like photo opportunities and that if we requested "dry landing, please" before landing, we could return to the boat without getting wet. We asked to go up to our waists (laughs).

As for the facilities, there are no changing rooms or lockers. If you really want to change afterward, you might want to use the public restroom nearby. Since there are no lockers, I wouldn’t recommend bringing large bags. Also, since you move out to sea by boat, some water splashes will come in, so if you really don’t want to get your belongings wet, it’s better to put them in a plastic bag or something.

On the way back, the funky driver came over and guided me to the car. When I mentioned that I got wet, he said, "It's okay, no problem!" but I felt a bit awkward getting in wet, so I used the beach towel I brought to sit on the seat. When I told him the hotel I was staying at, he kindly drove me there, which was very helpful.

待ち合わせ時間になってもいっこうに来ないのでハラハラしました(笑)
5分経っても来ない場合は電話して下さいとバウチャーにも書いてあったので、とりあえず電話すると「青い車が来るのであともう5分待って下さい」みたいな事を英語を説明され、そのまましばらく待ち、結果20分の遅刻でした(笑)
ドライバーのお兄さんも「いやあホントごめんごめん！！！」みたいな事を言っていて謝ってくれましたし、なんか憎めないキャラだったので、もしかすると時間通りに来る事自体が稀なのかなと自分を説得(笑)

さて内容についてですが、
150mの眺めは最高でした！
自分たち夫婦でペアで一緒に体験させてもらいました。
順番が回ってくる前に日本語の説明書を渡してくれたので、写真撮影の事、着地する前に「ドライランディング、プリーズ」と希望すれば海に浸かる事なく船まで戻れる事など、しっかり確認する事ができます。
私たちは腰までやってくださいと言いました(笑)

設備ですが、更衣室、ロッカーはありません。
終わったあとどうしても着替えたいのであれば近くにある公衆トイレを使うといいかもしれません。
ロッカーがないので、あまり大きい荷物を持って行く事はオススメしません。あと、船で沖まで移動するのでその際に多少の水しぶきが入ってきますから、どうしても濡らしたくない場合はビニール袋か何かに荷物を入れたほうがいいと思います。

帰りはファンキードライバーさんが近寄ってきてくれて、車まで案内してくれました。
腰ポチャした事を告げると「いいっていいって、ノープロブレム！」と言ってくれましたが、濡れたまま乗るのも気が引けたので持参したバスタオルを座席に敷いて座りました。泊まっているホテルを告げるとホテルまで送ってくれたのでとても助かりました。

The crew and captain truly know how to make the trip one of a kind!

Qe had a good time! Drinks were good. Employees were awesome as well!

I’m glad I finally got to try surfing in Hawaii. I was a bit anxious at first, but with the support of the instructor, I was able to ride the waves. One thing to note is that photos taken during surfing are available for purchase at $35, but since it’s a special memory, it would have been nice if they could offer them for around $20.

ずっとやってみたかったサーフィン、ハワイで体験レッスンを受けてみてよかったです。初めは不安でしたが、インストラクターサポートの元で波にのることができます。一点、サーフィン中の写真を$35で購入可ですがせっかくの記念ですし$20くらいで提供して頂ければよかったです。

We decided to do this tour for our anniversary and it was amazing! The staff were super helpful and knew what they were doing. Everyone was nice and making sure you're having a good time. The food was great as well as the snacks. Snorkeling was really fun. I seen more than a few turtles and lots of fish! I would not recommend this if pregnant and further along (like myself, I was 22 weeks), this caused my life vest to keep pushing to the side. So I had to use so much strength to hold it down and swim and still snorkel, it was really hard with the belly in the way. Other than that, it was really fun! I would recommend booking before you fly to hawaii. We were told it fits 80 people, i booked ahead anyways and sure enough it was only a 30 head count and full, so there isnt much room for you to wait last minute.

On Friday we were lucky enough to enjoy the Friday fireworks boat cruise. It was so easy to book, easy to find the pick up location on the beach and so relaxing! All of the staff were so accommodating; offering us a range of alcoholic and soft drinks and making us feel so comfortable. The music was great too and they took requests! Super relaxing with lots of great photo opportunities and then we stopped at a good location to enjoy the fireworks. Will definitely recommend to anyone and will do again! Thank you- really set our last night in Hawaii up to be the best!

I made a reservation for my mother, who loves hula. The weather was favorable in early April, and it was comfortable at first, but as the sun went down, it became chilly, and I regretted not bringing a jacket. The show was of high quality, and I was satisfied to be able to show her authentic hula. This time, I chose the Golden Seat, but since we arrived late, we ended up with seats on the edge, which was disappointing. Next time, I definitely want to reserve the Diamond Seat and see it up close.

今回フラの好きな母のために予約しました。
４月上旬天候にめぐまれ最初快適でしたが、日が落ちると
やはり肌寒く上着を持参すればと後悔しました。
ショーは完成度が高く、本場のフラを見せてあげることができて
満足しました。今回はゴールデンシートにしましたが遅めに到着したため
端の席になり残念でした。次回はぜひダイヤモンドシートで予約し
間近で見たいと思います。

It claims to be "150m high," but it's probably referring to the length of the rope, not the height. I've experienced it twice in the same location, and during my previous experience, I went up to a significantly higher place. Those expecting "height" may be disappointed.

「高さ150m」とうたっておりますが、おそらくロープの長さであって高さではないです。
同じ場所で2度体験していますが、以前の体験の方が圧倒的に高い場所まで上がりました。
「高さ」を期待している方はガッカリされると思います。

The reception was a bit hard to find, and I had to search for it a little. First, I moved to a spot where I could see the fireworks well and enjoyed a drink (most people had Mai Tais) while watching the fireworks. The wind was calm, and I had a pleasant time. After the fireworks ended, we went sailing out to Diamond Head and circled back to in front of the Sheraton. As we moved away from the lights of Honolulu, the stars became beautifully visible.

受付は少し分かり辛く、ちょっと探してしまいました。
まずは花火が良く見える場所まで移動しドリンク（ほとんどの方がマイタイでした）を頂きながら花火を鑑賞。風も穏やかで気持ちの良い時間を過ごせました。花火が終わると、ダイヤモンドヘッド沖までセーリングし、ぐるっと回ってシェラトン前まで戻ります。
ホノルルの光から遠ざかるので星もきれいに見えます。
