Oahu
I was worried about whether they would come to pick me up after making a reservation online, but they arrived right on time, and the driver was very cheerful! The parasailing itself was blessed with clear skies, and I was able to fly in the best conditions! It became such a wonderful memory!♡
ネットでの予約で、ピックアップしに来てくれるのか不安でしたが時間にはちゃんと来てくれて、運転手さんもとても明るい方でした‼︎‼︎本題のパラセーリングは快晴に恵まれ 最高のコンディションで飛べました‼︎‼︎とっっても良い思い出になりました♡
We participated as a family: my mother, my 13-year-old and 10-year-old children, and their father accompanied us as a videographer (though it seems the video didn't turn out well because the boat was shaking...). We requested photo shooting for $30, and the pictures turned out great. I think it was because the staff were used to the swaying. It was a really good tour. When I emailed to request a three-person ride, I received a polite response saying that depending on the weather and other conditions, it might be a two-person ride, but I decided to go ahead and book anyway. In reality, it was a three-person ride!! The kids were thrilled and really felt like they were flying. I would love to do it again. I think the height of 110 meters was sufficient. The flying time was longer than I expected. I thought it would end quickly... After arriving by car, we waited for about 15 minutes for the boat to reach the port, but I think this depends on the number of people in the previous group. Each group is set for an hour, but if there are fewer people in the previous group, they return sooner, allowing us to board earlier. If there are more people, it takes longer, which inevitably delays our start... But I think that's just how it is, depending on the reservation situation. In our group, we were the only Japanese, and there were three other groups. My children and I flew first. We had a great time with two handsome captains who spoke Japanese well and the other passengers. The boat sways quite a bit. I was glad I took motion sickness medication based on this experience. It was swaying even while others were flying, and it really kept swaying the whole time. Definitely take precautions against motion sickness!! (Especially for children). In the end, we got back to the port and into the car at 12:16. Since we booked a group that started at 11:00, the ending time was slightly delayed (due to the aforementioned late start). However, I think this is just something that can't be helped, so it's better to have some flexibility in your schedule. Keep in mind that the ending time (start time) may be delayed to some extent, and definitely experience this wonderful adventure!! Thank you, VELTRA. You've always been helpful, and I'm going to Hawaii again next year (I can't get enough!), so I'll take my time to find a good tour. I look forward to your assistance then!
家族で参加しました。母である私と、13歳と10歳の子供たち。父親はビデオ撮影者として同行しました。(ボートが揺れてあまりよく撮れなかったらしい…)。写真撮影は30ドルでお願いしました。ばっちり撮れてました。揺れに慣れているスタッフだからこそかなと思いました。とても良いツアーでしたよ。予約時に3人乗りをリクエストする旨のメールを送ったところ、天候などの状況によっては2人乗りになってしまうとの返答を頂きましたが、丁寧な返答だったので、それでも予約しようと決めました。実際は3人乗りでした!!子供たちも大喜びで、本当に鳥になった気分でした。またやりたいです。高さとしては110メートルで十分だったと思います。思ったよりも飛んでいた時間は長かったです。すぐ終わるかとおもっていたので…。車で現地に着いたあと、ボートが港に着くまで待ちます。15分くらいだったけど、これは前のグループの人数にもよると思います。一時間ずつ設定されていますが、前のグループの人数が少なければ早く帰ってくるから早く乗れるし、多ければその分時間もかかっているはずなので帰りが遅く、必然的に自分たちのスタートも遅れていく…。でも仕方ないかとも思います。そのときの予約状況次第なので…。私たちのグループは日本人は私たちだけ、あとは3組いました。私と子供たちは最初に飛びました。日本語の上手なイケメン船長ら2人やその他の乗客たちとも楽しく過ごせました。ボートはかなり揺れます。この体験談を参考に酔い止め薬を飲んでよかったと思いました。他の方たちが飛んでいる間も揺れてるし、ほんとにずーっと揺れてます。酔い対策は是非!!(特にお子様は)。結局港に戻って車に乗り込んだのは12時16分でした。11時スタートのグループに予約したので終了時間は少しずれ込みました。(スタートが前述通り遅れたため)。でも、こればかりは仕方ないことだと思うので、スケジュールには余裕を持ったほうが良いです。終了時間(スタート時間)がある程度遅れることは念頭に、是非この素晴らしい体験を!!VELTRAの皆さん、ありがとうございました。毎回お世話になってますが、また来年ハワイに行きますので(懲りないな~)、良いツアーをじっくり探させて頂きますね。その時は宜しくお願い致します!
I participated in parasailing at my 65-year-old mother's request! Although it was said that only English was spoken, the staff spoke to us in broken Japanese, so there were no problems at all.
The parasailing itself was simply amazing!! The weather was great, and there was even a rainbow, which made my mother very happy. I definitely want to participate again when we go to Hawaii! 😊
65歳の母の希望でパラセイリングに参加しました!英語しか通じないとありましたが、スタッフの皆さんカタコトですが日本語で話しかけてくれて、なんの問題もなかったです。
肝心のパラセイリングは、とにかく最高!!
お天気もよく、丁度虹もでて、母も大満足でした。また、ハワイにいったら是非参加したいです(^^)v
We're tourists from Japan and tried this activity for our first time. We safely enjoyed the whole time including shuttle bus. The driver was always joking and very kind to us. Instructors in boat were really nice and reliable guys. After all, the view from sky was quite fabulous at all. it deserves to experience it.
Some of them took movies using their own water proof camera, like Go pro. It seems it's allowed if you fasten it firmly on life jacket.(Basically it's cautioned to put your belongings on the boat before the take of parasailing to keep them from dropping in water)
Lastly, you can take towels if necessary according to temperature. You'll get some wet and it might be bit cold depending on the season.(It was totally comfortable to us because it's August!)
I love high places, so I chose the highest option at 150. There was a shuttle service to and from the hotel, so I only had to bring my swimsuit, which made me feel secure without worrying about my valuables. The pickup was on time, but I waited about 10 minutes for the participants to gather.
We departed on a small boat with about 10 people, and the guide was a friendly guy who spoke English. He took 100 photos of us while parasailing and sold them on an SD card for about $30. It was great because I could share it with my friends, and receiving the data was worth it. The sample photos turned out really nice as a keepsake. I decided to purchase them right after we set off, so he also took pictures of us on the boat. It was good because I was worried about the saltwater affecting my own camera.
You can store your belongings under the seat, so bring things that you don't mind getting dirty. You also put your shoes there. We put on life jackets shortly after departure. After about 15 minutes out to sea, the parasailing began, and since it was early in the morning, the view was amazing—the sunrise and Diamond Head were spectacular. I was relieved that I didn't experience the common issue of a sore backside. The three other groups were at a lower altitude, but I still found the higher altitude to be a lot of fun; I highly recommend it.
I enjoyed the sky, and the return shuttle was on time.
高いところは好きなので一番高度な150にしました。
ホテルまで行き帰りの送迎があり水着で行くだけなので貴重品の心配がなく安心でした。
迎えは時間通りでしたが、参加者の集合に10分ほど待っていました。
10人程度の小型船で出発し、ガイドは英語でしたが気さくな良いお兄さん、パラセーリングの写真を100枚撮ってSDカードにして販売していました。30ドルだったような…友人と共有できる上、データでもらえるので購入して良かったです。見本のような良い写真が記念になりました。出発してすぐに購入を決めたので、船上での写真も撮ってくれました。自分のカメラでは潮が気になるので良かったです。
荷物は席の下に入れるので汚れても良い物を。靴もそこへ入れます。出発してすぐにライフジャケットを着ます。沖へ15分ほど出てパラセーリングが始まり、朝一のせいか景色抜群、朝日とダイヤモンドヘッドが最高でした。よく聞くお尻ぽちゃはされず安心しました。同行の3組は低度でしたが、やはり高度は楽しかったです、おすすめ。
空を満喫し、帰りの送迎は時間通りでした。
First time parasailing, and was not disappointed. Not sure if they let me out all 800 feet, but the view from the waters off Waikiki is great, you can see Diamond Head Crater and all of the shoreline. Crew are friendly and fun. Only on the water for an hour, but more than enough time to enjoy the experience
Our two teenage boys and my husband and I all had a blast with 800ft line Parasailing! The view was amazing, and it was fun getting dipped in the water as we came down. Definitely will do it again!
I heard that Honolulu has 360 sunny days a year, but we woke up to heavy rain... By the time we went parasailing, the rain had stopped, but we were still under a cloudy sky! Once you're flying, the weather doesn't matter! It was so much fun. The guide was ALL ENGLISH, but we managed to get by with the atmosphere... (laughs) I've done parasailing a few times in Hawaii, but this was my first time off the coast of Honolulu, and parasailing while looking at the hotels of Honolulu and Diamond Head was the best! Next time, I want to try again when the weather is nice.
1年のうち360日が晴れと聞いたホノルルで寝起きの大雨・・・。パラセーリングをする頃には雨はやみましたが曇り空のなかお空へ!飛んでしまえば天気なんてカンケーない!とても楽しかったです。ガイドはALL ENGLISH でしたが雰囲気で・・・笑 ハワイで何回かパラセーリングをしましたが、ホノルル沖でしたのは初めてで、ホノルルのホテル群、ダイアモンドヘッドを見ながらのパラセーリングは最高でした!今度は天気の良いときにリベンジしたいです。
I participated in this optional tour for the first time. We were blessed with good weather and the conditions were perfect. Although we were the only ones at 150 meters, the sailing time was the longest, and we could enjoy views of the blue ocean, Waikiki Beach, and Diamond Head that are usually not visible. I don't speak English at all, but I had no problems enjoying myself. If I had to mention a downside, the hotel pickup was about 20 minutes late. Well, this kind of delay is acceptable in Hawaii. I plan to join this tour again next time. Please make it enjoyable!
初めてこのオプショナルツアーに参加しました。天気にも恵まれコンディションサイコー。150メートルは私たちだけでしたがセーリング時間が最も長く、高く上がるので青い海やワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドが普段は観ることのできない景観で楽しめます。まったく英語はできませんが問題なく楽しめました。少し難を言えばホテルのピックアップ時間が定刻よりも20分ぐらいおくれました。まあこのくらいの遅れはハワイでは許容範囲です。次回もこのツアーの参加を予定してます。楽しませてくださいね。
The crew was great! I would go again and again. It was like flying. So much fun. Thanks for the amazing memories.
I experienced parasailing for the first time. The staff set everything up properly, so I was able to fly with peace of mind. It felt amazing. I want to try it again.
初めてパラセーリングを体験しました。
スタッフの方がしっかりセッティングしてくれるので安心して飛ぶことができました。
とても気持ちよかったです。
またトライしたいです。
You absolutely have to do this at least once in your life! The view was amazing and felt so refreshing, even more than the height! In the end, I fell into the sea, haha. The English guide was kind, funny, and made it enjoyable. There were times when the boat slowed down and I felt a bit of a sway, so I think it would be good to have some motion sickness medication just in case! I also bought some photos as a memory (they took over 100 pictures for us). I will never forget that stunning view of Waikiki.
絶対一生に一度はやったほうがいいです!高さを感じるよりも景色が素晴らしくて気持ちよかったです!最後は海に落ちました笑 英語ガイドさんも優しくておもしろくて楽しめました。途中船がスピードを落とすと揺れを感じる時があり酔ってしまうのかと思いますので酔い止めもあるといいと思います!思い出に写真も購入しました。(100枚以上撮ってくれました) あのワイキキの絶景は忘れられないです。
During the Obon holiday period, we were the only Japanese people there. The handsome staff member gave us instructions in Japanese, so we had no trouble at all.
They offered to take photos for $30, so we decided to go for it. They give you a CD right on the spot. There seemed to be a scratch on the lens, so every photo has a mark on it, but that's part of its charm. They even included some landscape photos.
The pictures are a bit monotonous since we're just flying, but only the staff can take photos of us up there (if you try to take turns in a group, you can only get tiny pictures since you can't stand up to take photos), so I thought $30 was a bit pricey, but I don't regret it at all☆
It felt really nice, so I want to go again.
I didn't experience the scary trolley that others mentioned; it was just normal driving.
お盆期間中でしたが日本人は私たちだけでした。
イケメンのスタッフさんが日本語で指示してくれたので、困ることはなかったです。
30ドルで写真を撮ってくれるというので頼みました。
その場ですぐCDをくれます。
レンズに傷があったみたいで、どの写真にも傷がはいってますがそこは愛きょうですね
風景の写真までいれてくれてました
ただ飛んでるだけなので単調な写真ですが、上にいる私たちを撮影できるのはスタッフさんだけなので(グループでとりあいっこしても、立ちあがって撮影できないため豆粒みたいな写真しか撮れないと思います)30ドルは高いなーと思いましたが後悔はしていません☆
とっても気持ちよかったので、また行きたいです
他の方が書かれているトロリーが怖かったっていうのは、なかったです
普通の運転でした
The crew on extreme parasailing were very nice. We Felt safe and had a very exciting trip. Highly recommend for a great view and excitement!
My wife has a fear of heights, so she just watched while my son and I took on the challenge. Since it was our first time, we chose the lowest course, but we were able to enjoy such a wonderful view that it made us laugh. The photos taken by the guide can be purchased on an SD card. If my wife had managed to take pictures, we wouldn't have needed to buy them, but the guide's photos were beautiful, so I recommend purchasing them even if they are a bit pricey.
嫁は高所恐怖症なので見てるだけ、息子とふたりで挑戦しました。初めてなので一番低いコースにしましたが、思わず笑ってしまうぐらいの素晴らしい景色を堪能できました。ガイドさんが撮影した写真はSDカードで購入することができます。嫁ががんばって撮影すれば購入の必要はなかったのですが、やはり撮り慣れているガイドさんの写真はきれいでしたので、少々お高くても購入をお勧めします。
A car was waiting for us at the hotel at the meeting time! The person in charge of the shuttle was Mr. Yano, who is of Japanese descent. He was a very interesting person, speaking a mix of English and broken Japanese!
He had a round sticker and something like a paper band on his right arm, and after confirming the contents of the contract (which were all written in Japanese), we signed.
My friend and I requested a 9 AM pickup, and along with a Japanese family of three and a mother and child from New York, there were a total of seven of us.
When we arrived at the port and boarded the boat, the waves were really strong, and it was shaking a lot. I usually don't get motion sickness, but it was a good decision to take some anti-nausea medication!
We were called one group at a time, and it was finally time to start! Our group and the Japanese family were worried about the height, which was 45 meters. The mother and child from New York challenged the 120 meters. The view was amazing, and I felt so happy surrounded by the beautiful sky and sea!
Next time, I want to challenge either the 90 meters or 120 meters.
On the way back, Mr. Yano and I had a lively chat! It seems there are other people in charge of the shuttle as well, so those who got Mr. Yano were lucky!
待ち合わせ時間にホテルにお迎えの車が!
送迎を担当してくれたのは、日系のやのさん。この方は、英語と片言の日本語混じりで話しかけてくる、とてもおもしろい方‼︎
右手に丸いシールと紙バンドのような物を腕につけ、契約書の内容(全て日本語で記載されてます)を確認後サインをします。
私と友だちは9時からを希望し、日本人の家族3人とニューヨークから来た親子2人と私たち、合わせて7人でした。
港に着き、船に乗ると波がスゴく、とにかく揺れます。普段乗り物酔いしませんが、酔い止めを飲んでおいて正解でした‼︎
1組ずつ呼ばれて、いざスタート!
私たちのグループと日本人の3人家族は、高さがどのくらいなのか心配だったので、45m。
ニューヨークから来た親子は120mに挑戦。
とても眺めも良いし、キレイな空と海に囲まれ幸せでした‼︎
次回は90mか120mに挑戦したいです。
帰りもやのさんとマシンガントーク炸裂笑
やのさん以外の方の送迎もあるようで、やのさんに当たった方は、ラッキーですね‼︎
The view from above was breathtaking, and the wind felt great! Both crew members were really handsome (laughs). It was so much fun being dropped into the sea while they said things like, "Shark bait!" and having the rope shaken!
空の上から見る景色は絶景で、風も気持ちが良かったー!
クルーの方は二人とも、めっちゃイケメンでした(笑)
「サメノエサ〜」とか言って海に落とされたり、ロープを揺らされたり、本当に楽しかった(≧∇≦)
My first flight was awesome.
I wanna do it again at next trip.
My granddaughters said it was the greatest!
I changed my mind on the boat and wish there had been some way I could have gone and paid the difference once we were back at the marina.
A little un-organized on the 2nd boat( the jet ski platform) once we were unloaded we just stood around as did the other people there. catching the shuttle back to our hotel took forever, once again un-organized. The riders should have been told where the video camera was as we had a lot of top of the head photos. July 2015
I would highly recommend Hawaiian Parasail at Waikiki Beach. The crew was helpful and friendly.
I made a reservation for the very last time slot at 4 PM. My whole family was really looking forward to this during our trip, so we took motion sickness pills and were fully prepared. There was also an American family participating, and although I couldn't understand them well when they spoke quickly in English, they made sure to explain things clearly for us, which made me feel at ease. Since there were a lot of people, the waiting time was a bit long, but we had a wonderful experience. I definitely want to participate again.
一番最終の夕方4時を予約しました。家族全員、今回の旅行の中で一番楽しみにしていたので酔い止めを飲んで準備万端に。私たちの他にアメリカのファミリーが参加していて早口の英語でペラペラ喋られるとよく分からなかったけど、私たち向けにもちゃんと説明してくれたので安心して参加できました。人数が多かったので少し待ち時間が長かったけどすごく素敵な体験が出来ました。又、是非参加したいです。
Everyone except us was a foreigner and spoke English.
The English had quite a native pronunciation, so I had some trouble understanding, but I managed.
Parasailing had a beautiful view and was really nice!
I paid $30 for photos, but they also included a video as a service.
I didn't get as seasick as I expected.
私たち以外はみなさん外国の方で英語でした。
英語がかなりネイティブな発音だったのでなかなか聞き取れなくて困りましたが何とかいけました。
パラセイルはとても景色が良く綺麗で良かったです!
30ドルで写真も撮ってもらいましたがサービスで動画も入れてくれました。
思ったより船酔いはしなかったです。
They crew were fantastic along with the transport driver :)
It was an overall good experience but felt kind of cheated because it definitely didn't last 8minutes as purchased. Would have been 3 or 4 minutes at the most.
At least I can cross it off my bucket list.
This was my first time parasailing, and it felt amazing and wasn't scary at all. Actually, I'm not good with heights. A friend who loves Hawaii said it wasn't scary, so I decided to give it a try! In the end, I'm glad I participated. We took a shuttle to the boat dock and boarded with 11 people on one boat. It had been raining since the morning, but it stopped when we went out to sea, so we were lucky. However, there was some wind, so it was a bit bumpy.
I took motion sickness medication, so my daughter and I were fine, but my husband and son weren't feeling great. They said if we had stayed on any longer, it would have been tough. But the whole family agreed it was a great experience. We also bought photos for $30, which made for wonderful memories! The instructors were friendly, and we had a lot of fun.
今回、初パラセーリングでしたが、とても気持ち良かったし、怖くなかったです。実は私、高い所が苦手です。ハワイ好きの友人が、怖くないから!と言うのでチャレンジ!結果、参加して良かったです。送迎トローリーに乗りボート乗り場まで行き、11人で一隻に同乗しました。当日は朝から雨が降っていたのですが、沖へ出た時には止んでいたのでラッキーでしたが、風があったので、結構揺れた方?
酔い止めを飲んで行ったので、私と娘は大丈夫でしたが、主人と息子がイマイチ。。あれ以上長く乗っていたら、キツかったと言ってました。でも家族全員がやって良かったと言ってました。写真も30ドルで購入して、ホントに良い思い出です!インストラクターの方々も感じ良く、楽しかったです。
My granddaughter came to visit me and picked this over horses. I couldn't believe it but she gets what she wants. We had a great, safe, wonderful time.
If you're visiting Hawaii you must do it! The staff were so friendly, they were also very fun! The music they played was a plus! I will be honest, I was so scared to do this but the staff made it fun, I wanted to do it again! I did the 800ft with my sister, the people in our group were also very fun and friendly. Even when it started to sprinkle, I had an amazing time! They take you pictures with a SIM card that you could purchase, I would recommend that ever since their pictures are great. I will be doing this again when I go to Waikiki!
It was the only tour I participated in on Oahu, and it was truly wonderful.
The tour trolley bus arrived a little earlier than the scheduled time at the meeting point. We were taken by a driver who spoke a bit of Japanese and was quite friendly, traveling mainly with other Japanese participants. Most of the staff were locals, and although their Japanese was limited, we were able to communicate.
After checking in, we waited a bit before moving to the boat. On the boat, there were other Japanese participants and a beautiful sister duo from California. We headed out to sea in perfect weather, and one by one, we went parasailing! We soared much higher than I had expected, and it felt amazing.
For an additional $30, the local staff would take photos of us with a DSLR from the boat. Everyone on our boat purchased this option. It seems that tips are also expected, but we only brought exactly $30 in cash, so that's all we could give (sorry!). Everyone else was tipping around $5.
They also captured beautiful scenery and videos, creating wonderful memories. One of the fellow participants, who was on their second trip, was flying with a waterproof camera and took photos from above, so I want to try that next time!
Basically, they drop you into the sea at the end, but if you say "dry please," it seems you can finish without getting wet. I highly recommend that everyone experience this!
オアフ島で唯一参加したツアーだったのですが、本当に気持ち良かったです。
集合場所に予定時間よりすこし早くツアーのトロリーバスが到着していました。
日本語が若干喋れるがたいのいい運転手に連れてかれて、主に日本人の参加者と共に移動。
スタッフさんはほとんどが現地の人でしたが、日本語は片言ですが通じていました。
チェックインした後少し待ってボートへ移動。
ボートに乗ったのは他に日本人やカリフォルニアから来たという美人姉妹といっしょでした。
最高な天気の中、ボートで沖へ移動し、一組ずつパラセイリング!
思っていたよりずっと高く舞い上がって、本当に気持ち良かったです。
追加で30ドル払うと現地スタッフが一眼レフでボートから写真を撮ってくれます。
僕たちのボートはみなさん購入していました。
その他にチップも必要なようですが、私たちは現金を30ドルちょうどしか持っていかなかったので、それだけ払いました(ごめんなさい!!)。皆さん5ドルぐらいのチップを払っていました。
風景や動画も撮ってくれていて本当にいい思い出になりました。
2回目の参加という同乗者は防水カメラで飛んでいて、上からも写真をとっていたので、
次回はトライしたいです!
基本的には最後に海に落としてくれるのですが、ドライプリーズと言えば、
水につからずに終了できるようです。
皆さんも是非体験してみてください!
It was one of the best things i did over at Hawaii! First thing! Wonderful view from 800ft! The staff was really nice, and the guys were quite funny. The services were great. On time! enjoyed every minute of it! I highly recommend them!
I booked this tour for my husband, who loves roller coasters. I have a fear of heights, so I was really scared, but surprisingly, it was okay. The parasailing, which slowly rises high, seems to be recommended even for those with a fear of heights. If you're going to do it, I recommend challenging yourself to the highest feet.
ジェットコースター大好きの夫のためにこのツアーを申し込みました。私は高所恐怖症なので本当に嫌でビビっていましたが、意外と大丈夫でした。ゆっくり高く上がるパラセイリングは、高所恐怖症の人にも勧められそうです。どうせやるなら、一番高いフィートに挑戦することをおススメします。
I was satisfied with the fun and beautiful sea experience. The boat taxi to the venue was incredibly exciting, and I enjoyed it even beyond the main event. However, I was disappointed that the aerial stay time was shorter than indicated. After the event, they played a video, but it was only 7 minutes from start to finish. The displayed time was half of that, which seems incorrect. Even though 7 minutes was enjoyable, I believe the time should be accurately stated. That's the only point I would deduct for.
楽しくって綺麗な海を堪能できて満足できました。会場までのボートタクシーみたいなのも、ものすごく豪快で本編以外でも楽しめました。が、空中滞在時間が表示より短くって残念です。終了後、ビデオ画像を流されるのですが、始めから終わりで7分でした。表示の半分はおかしいですよね。7分でも堪能できるので、時間は正しく記載すべきだと思います。そこだけが減点です。
