All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

I was a bit anxious because the bus didn't arrive even after 10 minutes past the meeting time, but a cheerful man came to pick us up (laughs). Since the scheduled time was 4 PM, which was a bit late, there were no other customers, just us. The staff were really nice people, and it became a truly enjoyable memory.

For parasailing, I chose the 120m option. It might be a little scary for first-timers, but it's just for a moment. Also, since it was windy, there was a feeling of floating when the wind stopped. However, even my friend who can't handle roller coasters (like the Tower of Terror at Tokyo DisneySea) was able to do it, so I think most people can enjoy it!

集合時間から10分経ってもバスが来てくれなくて、ひやひやしましたが、陽気なおじさんが迎えに来てくれました（笑）
時間は16時と遅め指定だったからか、他のお客さんはおらず、私たちだけでした。スタッフさんがとても気のいい人達で、ほんと楽しい思い出になりました。
パラセーリング自体は、120mを選びました。初めての方は少し怖いかもしれないですが、一瞬だけです。あと、風が強かったので、風が止んだときに浮遊感がありました。ただ、ジェットコースター（TDSのタワーオブテラーなど）が無理な友達でも乗れたので、ほとんどの人が楽しめると思います！

I saw an actor named Hosoda on TV having a great time on a cocktail cruise, so I thought it was a must-do when I went to Hawaii. I made a reservation and was really looking forward to it.

Since it was my first time in Hawaii and I wasn't familiar with the area, it was quite challenging to find the meeting place, but I made it just in time. The person at the reception was friendly, and when my wife mentioned she was from Osaka, it made me happy too. I didn't get seasick, and even though I couldn't speak English, I was able to understand most things through the atmosphere, and I could chat with a few people and exchange photos.

It was truly enjoyable, and I created wonderful memories of Hawaii.

　テレビで、細田君という俳優さんが、カクテルクルーズですごく楽しそうにしておられたので、ハワイに行ったら絶対に外せないと思い、予約して、楽しみにしていました。
　初めてのハワイで、土地勘がなかったので、集合場所にたどり着くまで大変でしたが、ギリギリ間に合いました。受付の人はフレンドリーで、妻は大阪の人だと言っておられ、私もなんかうれしくなりました。船酔いもなく、英語は話せなかったけど、雰囲気で大体のことがわかり何人かの人とお話もできたし、写真も交換できました。
　本当に、楽しくてハワイの素敵な思い出ができました。

This was my second time going. Was a lot of fun and will do it again in the future. Be sure to call them direct if you are trying to book last minute

It was good, The kids loved it. There wasn't very many fish or things to look at.

It's a bit difficult to understand specialized vocabulary in English. But still had fun! The driver who picked me up said they will have Chinese version handbook very soon.

It was quite cold for the season. Since it was Friday night, it was pretty dark except for the fireworks, and surprisingly, the sunset might have been better? The fireworks were beautiful! They ended quickly though^^; I couldn't enjoy my cold Mai Tai because it was so chilly^^;

季節的にも結構寒かったです。金曜夜だったので、花火以外は結構真っ暗で、意外にもサンセットの方が、良いのかな？、、、花火はきれいでした！すぐ終わっちゃったけど^^;寒くて冷たいマイタイも進まず^^;

This was an awesome experience and my husband and I had a great time! We both felt very safe at all times and were provided with mandatory life jackets as a safety measure. From the hotel pick up to the drop off, everyone was pleasant, courteous and met all our expectations. I would highly recommend this company again!

Definitely try to do this as a group. Most go on it for the open bar, which is a few beers, champagne, one wine and a mixed drink that they have in a keg. I would recommend for a big group, but not for a couple

Extremely fun! I'm terrified of heights, but this was worth it. The bus picks you up right at your hotel and takes you to the dock, where you get on a boat with two really funny but knowledgable guys to guide you through this. Never felt unsafe, never felt like I should have picked a different company. They even took pictures of us and we got to buy the photos on an SD card after the event. Well worth the money and would definitely do again.

"Did I manage to ride even as a beginner?!"
My friend (a woman in her mid-20s with excellent athletic ability and skilled at snowboarding) managed to catch waves and was smiling and giving peace signs with both hands by her second try, despite it being her first experience surfing. The instructor even asked her, "Is this really your first time?" She seemed very satisfied and said, "I want to surf again when I go back to Japan!" (^^)

On the other hand, I (a generally average woman in my early 30s with no particular aversion to sports) fell 7 times out of 10 attempts and could only stand up about 3 times (even then, I couldn't manage a peace sign and was quite wobbly).

"The instructor was amazing"
I have participated in various tours with Veltra, but I thought this instructor had the toughest job. When we got tired from paddling, they would pull me along while paddling and push us with all their might to help us catch waves... it was really physical labor!!! I thought it was a tough job. They were also fun to chat with, which made it easy to tip them (^^).

"The photos were great"
They were secretly taken from the shore and turned out quite well.

"The beach was full of reefs and corals"
We wore shoes for surfing, but even so, I ended up hitting my legs against the reefs and corals when I fell. At first, we learned how to protect ourselves from the reefs and corals, but I still bumped into them a bit. As someone who isn't very skilled, I ended up with a lot of bruises on my legs... Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑) Also, the sea was cold in February.

《初めてでも乗れたか⁉︎》
友達（運動神経抜群の20代半ば女性。スノーボードが得意）は、サーフィン初体験にも関わらず、２回目のトライからもう波に乗って、両手を大きく挙げて笑顔でピースをしていました。
インストラクターさんから、「あなた、本当に初めて？」と聞かれるほど。
そんな彼女はやはり満足度が高かったみたいで、「日本に帰ってからもサーフィンやりたい！」と言っていました(^^)

一方、私（運動に苦手意識はない一般的な30代前半女性）は、１０回中、7回転び、3回立てるかな（それでもピースは無理。へっぴり腰）くらいになりました。

《インストラクターがすごい》
今までベルトラさんで色々なツアーに参加してきましたが、今回のインストラクターさんが、一番たいへんだろうなぁと思いました。
というのは、私達がパドリングに疲れたら、私の事も引っ張ってパドリングしてくれたり、私達を波に乗せるために力一杯押してくれたり…ほんっと肉体労働！！！
たいへんなお仕事だなぁと思いました。
おしゃべりが面白くて楽しいってのもありましたし、チップを気持ちよく払えました(^^)

《写真が良かった》
岸からこっそり撮られています。なかなかの出来でした。

《ビーチは岩礁とサンゴだらけ》
サーフィン用の靴を履いてやるんですけど、それでも転んだ時に、脚を岩礁やサンゴにぶつけてしまいます。
最初に、岩礁やサンゴから身を守る方法を習うのですが、それでも多少はぶつけちゃいます。
下手な私は、脚に青あざがたくさん…Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑)
それから、2月の海は寒かったです。

Five years ago, I also went parasailing in Hawaii. It was so much fun that this time was my second experience.

However! This time, it was a very windy day... (/ _ ; ) The boat was rocking back and forth...

...I got sick m(_ _)m

There were 11 people on the tour, including me, and both me and another person got sick (/ _ ; ) Even during the parasailing, the wind was strong, and I couldn't enjoy the scenery, feeling more like "This is scary~."

That said, it’s true that I had fun five years ago, so it really depends on the weather. Also, since it's a short activity, I think it's a good point that you can easily book it during your free time (o^冖^o)

5年前にも、同じくハワイでパラセイリングをしたことがありました。その時、とーっても楽しかったので、今回２回目でした。

しかし！今回はとても風が強い日で…(/ _ ; )
船がもう、揺れて揺れて…

…吐きましたm(_ _)m

船には、ツアー体験者が私を含め11人いたのですが、私ともう一人が吐いてました(/ _ ; )
パラセイリング中も風が強くて、景色を楽しむ余裕もなく、「怖い〜」って感じでした。

ただ、5年前は楽しかったのも真実なので、お天気しだいというところかと。
あと、短時間のアクティビティなので、あいてる時間に気軽に申し込めるのが良い点かなぁと思います(o^冖^o)

I participated because I wanted to see the sunset over the ocean. There were just over 10 groups of participants, and among them, there were 3 groups of Japanese, including us. The atmosphere was filled with wonderful music, delicious cocktails (there were soft drinks available too), and beautiful scenery. We even got to see a whale, and everyone got excited with a big "fuuu~!"

Since it was a yacht and a windy day, I was very worried about getting seasick (I tend to get seasick easily...), but thanks to taking motion sickness medication before the trip and trying to look far away, I was able to enjoy the cruise without feeling sick at all!

There were no particular issues during the cruise, but I think it would be even more reassuring if there was a guide who could speak Japanese. Also, since you get hit directly by the sea breeze, I recommend bringing long sleeves.

I would love to participate again!

サンセットを海の上で見てみたくて参加しました♪
参加者は10組ちょっとといったところでしょうか。そのうち日本人は私たちも含め3組。素敵な音楽と美味しいカクテル(ソフトドリンクもありました)、そして美しい景色とムード満点でした。なんとクジラも見る事ができ、全員でfuuu〜♪と盛り上がりました！
ヨットだったのと風が強い日だったので、船酔いしないか非常に心配でしたが(当方比較的酔いやすいです…^^;)、参加前に酔い止めを飲み、なるべく遠くを見るようにしていたお陰か全く酔わずにクルーズを楽しむことができました♪
今回のクルーズ中は特に問題ありませんでしたが、日本語の分かるガイドさんが乗られてるともっと心強いかなと思います。あとは海風にダイレクトにあたるので、長袖は持って行くことをオススメします。
また参加したいです！

There were over 30 members from diverse international backgrounds on board. We had a great time with people from Europe, mainland America, and Asia, enjoying drinks together. The most popular order was the Monster (a cocktail made with the energy drink Monster).

Since it was February, it was quite chilly, and getting wet through the net made me shiver. But that was part of the fun (laughs).

I originally joined on the recommendation of a colleague, and I was very satisfied, just as I had heard. I would love to participate again.

国際色ゆたかなメンバーで、30人以上は乗船していたと思います。ヨーロッパ、アメリカ本土、アジア、お酒の力も借りてワイワイ。オーダー率が高かったのは、モンスター。(エナジードリンクのモンスターを使ったカクテル)
2月ということもあり、結構肌寒く、ネット越しに濡れるとガクブルでした。でもそれが楽しい(笑)

元々参加したのも、同僚のすすめだったのですが
前評判通り大満足。また参加したいです。

I participated with my family, and we got along well with the other participants, spending a fun time together. I learned quickly and was able to ride right away, creating the best memories.

家族と参加したのですが、他の参加者とも仲良くなりみんなで楽しいひと時を過ごせました。
教えてもらいすぐ乗れるようになり最高の思い出になりました。

I experienced it at 120 meters. When I actually saw it, it was really high, and I was nervous until it started, but with the encouragement of the lively crew, I was floating in no time! I was able to hand over my smartphone for them to take pictures, and as long as you’re careful not to drop it, you can also take photos from up in the air. I will definitely go again when I visit Hawaii!

120mで体験しました。
実際見るととても高くて、始まるまで緊張してましたが、ノリノリのクルーにおだてられあっという間に浮いていました☆
スマホを預けて撮影もして貰えましたし、落とさないように気をつければ上空からの、撮影も出来ます☆
またハワイに行ったら絶対行きます٩( ᐛ )و

I was able to fly without any unnecessary waiting time.

I flew at 120 meters, and the view was absolutely stunning. It was thrilling when the wind picked up along the way.

Thank you very much.

すごくさくっと無駄な待機時間なども無く飛ぶことが出来ました。

120mで飛びましたがとても高く絶景でした。
途中風が吹くとスリリングな感じで楽しめました。

ありがとうございました。

Great time and good drinks!!!! Great crew and a good crowd was on broad

Awesome, took my wife for Valentines Day. She was totally impressed. Would certainly see again.

Unfortunately, we were not blessed with good weather and couldn't see the sunset, but we encountered a whale. They chased after the whale, and we quickly switched to whale watching. Thanks to their quick thinking, even though we couldn't see the sunset, it wasn't a wasted experience, and everyone was satisfied.

残念ながら天候に恵まれなくサンセットは見れませんでしたが
なんと、クジラに遭遇。
鯨を追いかけてくれて急遽ホエールウォッチングに変更になりました。
機転をきかせてくれたのでサンセットが見れなくても無駄にはならず
利用者みんな満足してました。

I had a great time. The scenery was very beautiful, and I didn't feel the height too much. Next time I participate, I would like to try the 150 meters.

I really had fun.

とても楽しかったです。
景色もとても綺麗で、高さもそんなに感じられず、次回参加する時は150メートルを参加してみたいです。

本当に楽しかったです。

In 2015, it was just the two of us with three aunts who love alcohol. The night view of Waikiki and the fireworks created a different kind of excitement, and we enjoyed a fun time with drinks flowing.

2015年は友人と二人でしたが、お酒大好きのおばさん３人。ワイキキの夜景に花火前回とは違う盛り上がりでお酒もすすみ楽しいひと時でした。

For my husband and me, staying at the Sheraton Waikiki felt like setting sail from a private beach. The weather was clear and the waves were calm. Coincidentally, an American couple who had just finished their wedding, along with their guests, boarded the boat, adding to the joyful atmosphere. Enjoying various unlimited alcoholic drinks while watching the sunset was absolutely fantastic!

シェラトンワイキキに宿泊した私達夫婦にとってはプライベートビーチからの船出のような気分。天気晴朗にして波も穏やか。たまたま結婚式を終えたばかりの米カップルと参列者も乗り込み、幸せ気分も乗せて出航。飲み放題のアルコール各種試飲しながらの夕陽はサイコ―でした！

I chose this because I was staying at Outrigger Reef.
The boarding point is from the beach of Outrigger Reef.
Everyone except us was a foreigner, making for a very exotic sailing experience.
Soft drinks, Mai Tais, and Budweiser are all-you-can-drink, so people of all ages can enjoy it.
You will get quite wet, so a cover-up that can get wet is necessary.
It gets chilly once the sun sets.

アウトリガーリーフに宿泊していたこともあり選びました。
乗り場は、アウトリガーリーフのビーチからです。
自分たち以外は外国人で、異国感満載のセーリングになりました。
ソフトドリンクやマイタイやバドワイザーなども飲み放題なので、老若男女楽しめます。
かなり濡れますので、水着に濡れてもいい上着が必要です。
日が沈めば、はださむくなります。

The tour was conducted entirely in English, and there were no Japanese participants. The tour guide was cheerful and entertaining, and when I requested the $30 photo service, I was satisfied with the many great photos I received. When you're floating in the air, if you think about it and look down, it's 120 meters! That suddenly makes you feel scared (laughs). I took motion sickness medication, so I had no problems at all, but since the boat sways quite a bit, it seems wise to take precautions.

オール英語でのツアーで、参加客も日本人はいませんでした。ツアーの方は明るく楽しませてくれる方で、写真の30ドルのサービスをお願いしたらなかなかいい写真がたくさん入ってて満足しました。空に浮いてるときは、よく考えると下を見ると120メートルなのか！と思うと急に怖くなります（笑）。私は酔い止めを飲んだので全く問題ありませんでしたが船が結構揺れるので対策したほうがよさそうですね。

We took a boat with about six groups out to sea. Our group was entirely Japanese, and there were many couples. Tours and events in Hawaii, including parasailing, are affected by the weather, but I was lucky to have clear skies during my visit. The photos for parasailing are taken by a local person on the boat with a professional camera (for $30). I simply handed my smartphone and waterproof camera to the people in front and behind me to take pictures.

It felt like the time spent parasailing was longer in proportion to the height. I chose to go up to 120 meters. It was very pleasant. Unlike in Okinawa, here you can see the blue ocean on one side and the hotels lined up on the land on the other, offering a view that you can only see here.

Overall, it was fantastic.

6組ほどを乗せて船で海上に行きます。
自分たちのグループは日本人ばかりで、カップルが多かったです。
パラセーリング含め、ハワイでのツアーやイベントは天候に左右されますが、私の時は運良く快晴でした。
パラセーリングの写真は、船に同乗している現地の人が一眼カメラで撮ってくれます(30ドル)。
私は、普通に自分の前後の順番の人にスマホや防水カメラを渡して撮ってもらいました。

高さに比例して、パラセーリングしている時間が長かったような気がします。
私は、高さは120メートルを選択しました。
とても気持ちよかったです。
沖縄でするのと違って、かたや青い海、かたやホテルが立ち並ぶ陸を見ることができ、ここでしか見られない光景を見ることができます。

とりあえず最高でした。

Had such an amazing time! Got to see lots of fish & sea turtles, even got to hold an octopus. The crew members were very helpful & very nice. Best snorkeling adventure! Would recommend to everyone!!

The Luau was very nice, good food, exciting, and romantic. My husband and I really hate buffets because people like putting their hands directly into the food. Which is totally gross but all luaus are buffets. Even though it was against our norm friends advised us when going to Hawaii it was one thing we just had to do. We decided to try it even though we are super against buffets. I must say we were wrong and we were totally glad we went to this one. We reserved it on my birthday evening and it was really romantic. It was on a roof top so you could see the beach and sun setting, the food was really good, the staff, dancers, entertainment were great and kept our attention. Everyone was so friendly and staff was very attentive. It was the most exciting, fun, and romantic birthday I ever had. I must add not one person placed their dirty little paws in the food which was a big relief for us.

Thank you all for making it the most remarkable and memorable birthday ever.

We loved everything. I am the biggest water and animal lover. The submarine was a great experience for us. Even though the reefs are all gone and they had boats, plans, and different materials placed as artificial reefs it just shows you how important our reefs are for sea life. It is a great learning experience to see the difference. How life is under water now after the way man has destroyed it and the ones who care enough to try to recover a small percent of what it would be if it had been left alone before people destroyed an environment for there own selfish reasons. Before booking I did read reviews of others who experienced the submarine tour before I decided to reserve our tour. Even though a lot of people stated they expected more and only gave it 1 and 2 stars I still decided to take the tour. I read Atlantis used partial of the proceeds to rebuild the reefs. If more people got together and helped rebuild what we all have destroyed then maybe there will be more fish and more variety everytime we come back. People should respect the homes of others, where animals live, and give to it instead of always taking. It was a great experience, it taught us to respect the beautiful nature in our world, to help rebuild, and stop destroying before there is nothing left to experience.

I was blessed with good weather and enjoyed a very pleasant flight. I could ask other guests to take photos for me, or I could request the staff to do so. Additionally, for $30, they offer a 4GB SD card and will take pictures with a staff DSLR. I had no particular issues and was very satisfied with the smoothness of the activity.

良い天気にも恵まれ、大変心地よい空の旅を楽しめました。カメラは他のお客さんに頼むことも出来れば、スタッフの方にお願いすることもでき、また30ドル払えば4GBのSDカード付でスタッフの一眼レフで撮影をしてくれます。特に困る事も無く、大変スムーズなアクティビティで満足しています。

I participated on the day I arrived in Hawaii. The only downside was that no one spoke Japanese, but that didn't matter because I had a wonderful time with stunning views. It felt great, and since it was sunny, I was able to see a beautiful sunset. I was lucky to also see a rainbow on the mountain side. I definitely want to join again on my next trip to Hawaii!

ハワイ到着日に参加しました。
日本語はまったく通じないのが難点でしたが…
そんなことは気にならないくらい素晴らしい景色、素晴らしい時間を過ごせました。
とにかく気持ちが良くて、晴れていたのでサンセットもきれいに見れました。
山側に虹も見れてラッキーでした。
次回のハワイ旅行でもまた参加したいと思います！
