Oahu
**[Experience Review]**
Since I participated at the end of January, it felt a bit chilly, but I didn't get wet, and the weather was great, so I really enjoyed it! When landing, I had the option to choose whether to land in the water or not, but due to the cold, I opted out of landing in the water (laughs).
**[What I Liked About This Tour]**
During the experience, they took photos from the boat, and they captured some really unique shots (like a shark trying to bite through the parasailing rope). I enjoyed looking at the photos even after returning home.
**[Advice for Future Participants]**
There happened to be a woman who signed up alone, so after my husband and I flew, I ended up flying again with her (laughs). It seems that you can't fly alone unless you weigh over 80 kilograms. I had so much fun that I didn't mind flying twice, but my husband said, "If I were told to fly twice, I'd feel nothing but despair." It seems that 150 meters in Japan and 150 meters in Hawaii mean different things; due to strong winds, it felt very scary for him. (In Japan, the rope length is 150 meters, while in Hawaii, it's the height from the water surface.) I have experienced it in Japan as well, and it was an extraordinary height!
The meeting place is a bit hard to find, so if you're staying at the Hilton and going on your own, I think you should allow some extra time. We got lost. They seem to take photos if you ask, and they gave them to us on an SD card after disembarking. Tips are quite obvious (laughs), as you can see $10 or $20 bills stuck on the boat, so my husband and I gave $20. I didn't mind since it was so much fun!
【実際に体験した感想】
1月末に参加したため少し肌寒く感じましたが水に濡れることもなく
お天気もよかったので本当に楽しかったです!
着地の際は着水するかしないか選べましたが寒さのあまり着水は拒否(笑)
【このツアーで気に入ったところ】
体験中に船から写真を撮ってくれているのですが
なんともユニークな(サメがパラセーリングの紐を食いちぎろうとしてる)
写真も撮ってくれていて、帰ったあとも写真を見て楽しめました。
【これから参加する人へのアドバイス】
たまたま1人で申し込みされている女性がいたため
私は主人と飛んだあと、その女性と再度飛ぶことになりました(笑)
どうやら体重が80キロ以上ないと1人では飛べないらしいです。
私は楽しかったので2度飛ぶことに苦痛は感じませんでしたが
主人は「2回も飛んでなんて言われたら絶望感しかない。」と・・・
日本での150mとハワイでの150mは意味が違うようで
強風でかなり揺れたこともあり主人にはとても怖く感じたそうです。
(日本はロープの長さが150mハワイは水面?からの高さが150m)
実際、日本でも体験したことがありますが規格外の高さでした!
集合場所が少しわかり辛いためヒルトンにお泊りで自力で集合される方は
少し時間に余裕を持って行かれるべきだと思います。私たちは迷いました。
写真は欲しいと言うと撮ってくれるようで下船後にSDでくれました。
チップはあからさま(笑)に船に10ドルや20ドルが刺さってますので
私と主人とで20ドル渡してきました。楽しかったので気になりませんでした!
I participated last summer and had so much fun that I repeated it! This time I brought a GoPro, so I was able to take some great photos and videos, which I was very satisfied with! However, the boat sways a lot, so motion sickness medication is a must.
去年の夏に参加して、とても楽しかったのでリピートしました!
今回はgoproを持参したのでとてもいい写真や動画もとれて満足しました!
ただ、船がとても揺れるので酔い止め必須です。
We signed up for the 110m jump with three adults. I was glad that we could all jump together instead of splitting into two and one. There was just one puzzling incident. After everything was done and we were being taken back to the hotel, for some reason, we went back to the original location even though we were close to the hotel. After that, we were properly taken to the hotel, but I have no idea what that was about since there was no explanation. Well, I guess that kind of thing happens when you're abroad. Overall, it was a good experience.
110mを大人3名で申し込みました。2人と1人に分かれてしまうのは嫌だったので、3人一緒に飛べて良かったです。ひとつだけ?な出来事が。すべて終わってホテルへ送ってもらう際、なぜかホテル近くまで行ったにも関わらず、元の場所へ引き返しました。その後しっかりホテルまで送ってもらいましたが、あれは何だったのか、説明もなかったのでわかりません。まあ海外なのでそういうこともある、ということでしょうか。全体的にはよかったです。
It was my first surfing experience, and a former professional surfer taught me carefully, so I was able to ride right away. It was so much fun that I requested another lesson the next day with a different instructor. The instructor on the second day also provided tips for further improvement, and I would like to take lessons again the next time I come to Hawaii.
初めてのサーフィン体験でしたが、元プロサーファーの方が丁寧に教えてくれ、すぐに乗ることができました。
あまりに楽しかったため、次の日もお願いし他の方にレッスンを受けました。次の日の方もさらに上達するポイントを教えてくださり、次にハワイに来るときにはまたレッスンを受けたいと思います。
I read the reviews on Veltra thoroughly and participated in the 150m experience. I'm not good with amusement park roller coasters and try to avoid them as much as possible, so I was a bit worried, but looking at the distant scenery made it less scary and quite enjoyable. The weather was nice, and Diamond Head and the town of Waikiki were very beautiful. My children, who are in 6th grade and 1st year of middle school, also seemed to have a great time. The boat was rocking, and the kids got seasick, so I think it's better to take motion sickness medication. The captain was cheerful, but due to language barriers, I couldn't understand much of what he was saying in English. Still, he entertained us with gestures, and I appreciated his consideration for the seasick kids. We tipped $20 for our family of four.
ベルトラの体験談をしっかり読んで150mに参加しました。遊園地のジェットコースターとかも得意ではなく、極力乗らないようにしているので心配もありましたが、遠くの景色を見ていると怖さもそれほどなく楽しめました。天気も良かったのでダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの町がとても綺麗でした。
小学校6年と中学1年の子供達も楽しかったようです。
船が揺れて子供達は船酔いしていたので、酔い止めは飲んだほうが良いと思います。
キャプテンも陽気でしたが、学力の問題で英語は何言ってるかよくわかりませんでした。それでも、ジェスチャーなどで楽しませてくれてましたし、船酔いした子供達への気配りはありがたかったです。
チップは家族4人で20ドルにしました。
It was unfortunately rainy on the day, but during the parasailing, the sun came out and a round rainbow appeared below! I felt like I had the rainbow in Hawaii all to myself. I'm glad I decided to try it. It was so much fun.
当日はあいにくの雨でしたがパラセーリングの途中で陽が射し、眼下に円い虹が!
ハワイの虹を独り占めしたような気分になりました。
思い切って体験して良かったです。とても楽しかったです。
I experienced stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time during a personal trip to celebrate my retirement. Thanks to the instructor, I was able to stand up early on, and I am grateful for the guidance. After returning home, I received the photos and videos taken by the photographer, so I can relive the excitement of my first SUP experience anytime.
定年退職を記念した個人旅行で初めて体験しました。インストラクターのおかげで早い段階で立ち上がる事が出来、指導に感謝です。帰国後カメラマン撮影の写真と動画を送ってもらったのでいつでも感動の初SUP体験を見る事が出来るようになりました。
We experienced this as a couple. As soon as we arrived, we were able to board the boat without waiting. There were a total of four groups on the boat. Right after boarding, we were given life jackets and headed out to sea! It was cloudy, so it was cold until we got out to the open water—I regretted not bringing a long-sleeve rash guard, but once we were up in the air, I forgot all about the cold and had so much fun! The 150-meter height and the duration of the flight were longer compared to others, and I didn't feel much fear at all. I had confirmed the photo service for $30 from previous experiences, and I was glad I ordered it because I received photos that I couldn't take myself! The tip and photo service payment are separate, so it's a good idea to bring some small change. You can return within two hours, making it a great way to use your morning or afternoon—highly recommended!
夫婦二人で体験しました。
到着してすぐ、待たずに船に乗れました。合計4組で船に乗りました。
乗ってすぐにライフジャケットを着せてもらって沖へ!
曇っていたので沖に出るまでが寒かったですー長袖のラッシュガードを持って行けばよかったと後悔しましたが、上空は寒さも忘れるくらい楽しかったですー!150メートル、滞空時間もほかに比べて長いですし恐怖感はそこまで感じませんでした。
事前に体験談で確認していた写真サービス30ドル、自分では撮ることができない写真がもらえたので頼んで良かったです!
チップと写真サービスの支払いは別なので細かいお金を少し用意していくといいです。2時間以内で戻って来られるので朝も、午後も有意義に使えるしおススメです!
First time paragliding
I challenged myself at 150.
I participated with my mother and daughter.
It was scary but fun‼️
I got to see Honolulu from the sea.
I was lucky to see whales up close as well.
Photos are available for an additional $30 if you request them.
A tip of $10 is appreciated.
I definitely encourage everyone to give it a try!
初めてのパラセイリング

チップは10
ぜひ皆さんもチャレンジして下さいね。
They provide transportation to the hotel. You will go to the destination with other people. We were in a two-person ride, but three-person rides are also possible. There were some individuals who came alone, and in that case, they will fly with another solo rider. I'm not good with heights, but I intentionally chose to go up to 150 meters. Looking down was a bit scary, but it was totally fine. They also fulfilled the promise of a splash in the sea (in my case, I was dropped quite deep). The staff were cheerful, and it was a lot of fun. The scenery was great, and it was truly the best!
ホテルまで送迎してくれます。他の方たちと一緒に目的地に行くことになります。自分達は2人乗りでしたが、3人乗りも可能です。1人できている方もいて、その場合は他の1人乗りの方と一緒に飛ぶことになります。自分は高いところが苦手ですが、あえて150mにしました。下を見たら若干怖かったですが、全然大丈夫でした。お約束の海ポチャもしてくれました(私の場合は、結構深くまで落とされました)。スタッフの方も明るく、楽しかったです。景色もよく、本当に最高でした!
It was unfortunately a cloudy day with strong winds, so the scenery was a bit disappointing, but I think I would have enjoyed it if the weather had been clear. There was also a paid photo service available!
あいにくのお天気で曇り空で、風が強い日でしたので、少し景色が残念でしたが、快晴であれば楽しめたと思います。有料ですが、写真撮影サービスもありました!
Parasailing over the ocean was amazing. The tour guides were cheerful and kind, which was great. Although it was 120 meters, I was satisfied that I was able to go up high. I only fell into the water with my lower body, so my face didn't get splashed, which was nice. I was able to enjoy a panoramic view of the Hawaiian scenery, and it became a wonderful memory.
海の上でのパラセーリングは最高でした。
ツアーの方も愉快で優しくて良かったです。120mでしたが上の方まで上がることができて満足でした。海に落ちるのは下半身だけで顔に水が被らなくてよかったです。ハワイの景色を一望できていい思い出になりました。
We went to our destination not just by ourselves but also with others on the same boat. The staff who provided transportation and handled the parasailing were very friendly, which naturally lifted our spirits! It was my first time parasailing, and since I wanted to make the most of it, I decided to choose the plan that goes up to the highest point, 150 meters. When I actually did it, the height was quite significant. Of course, individual experiences may vary, but I found it very enjoyable and didn't feel scared at all. The view of the scenery and the ocean from above is amazing! Right before the end, they even give you a little splash in the sea! Your face probably won't get wet! This is definitely one activity I want to do again if I get the chance!
自分達だけでなく他の方と同じボートで目的地に行きます。送迎の方やパラセーリングを担当してくれた方も凄く気さくでテンションも自然と上がります!初めてパラセーリングしたのですが、せっかくなので1番高くまで上がるプランにしようと考え150mを選びました。実際やってみるとかなり高さはあります。個人差はもちろんあると思いますが、私はとても楽しく怖さはありませんでした。上から見る景色や海は最高です!終わり間際に海ポチャも軽くしてくれます!顔までは多分濡れません!
出来るならまた絶対やりたいアクティビティの1つです!
The instructors were from overseas, but they understood the necessary Japanese and explained everything in a fun way. The activities were excellent!
Since the boat sways quite a bit, I think it's a good idea to have motion sickness medication.
インストラクターの方達は海外の方でしたが必要な日本語は理解してくれていて、楽しく説明してくれてアクティビティも最高でした!
船が結構揺れるので酔い止めはあった方がいいと思います
We decided to try it out on short notice and made a reservation the day before. I received a request from Veltra to change the time, and since it was the day before, I adjusted my plans a bit and decided to go for the experience. I didn't feel seasick, and it turned out to be a fun experience. Although the conversation was in English, I appreciated the lively and humorous vibe typical of international interactions. I also purchased photos for $30, which became a great memory!
急遽やってみようという話になり前日に予約しました。
一度ベルトラさんの方から時間を変えてほしいという連絡をもらい前日だったため少し予定を変更し体験することにしました。
船酔いもなく、楽しい体験になりました。英語での会話ですが、笑わせてくれたり盛り上げてくれる海外のノリがまたいいなと感じました。
写真も30ドルで購入し、いい思い出になりました!
I participated with three friends from university. At first, we were all a bit nervous due to fear, but the staff's cheerful energy quickly eased our tension. Parasailing was truly exhilarating, and I'm glad I had such an experience in my life. While jet skiing, there was music playing, and the staff helped create a lively atmosphere, which was fantastic! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to use this service again.
大学の友人3人と参加させていただきました。
最初は全員恐怖心もあって、少し緊張していたのですがスタッフの方のテンションが陽気すぎて緊張感はすぐに無くなりました。
パラセーリングは本当に気持ちよくて、人生でこんな経験が出来て良かったなと思います。
ジェットスキー内では音楽がかかってたり、スタッフの方が場を盛り上げてくれるので雰囲気も◎でした!
次ハワイに行く機会があればまた是非利用したいと思います。
I chose the 150m option, but the higher you go, the better the view. You can enjoy the scenery around Waikiki in the sky where you only hear the sound of the wind.
For an additional $30, you can have a photo taken from below with a DSLR, but I wish I had taken some pictures of the view from above as well. I should have brought a cable to attach the camera to my neck to avoid dropping it.
When you land, you wear a life jacket, so only your lower body gets wet. The staff made it a fun experience, creating wonderful memories. I can't ride roller coasters, but I really enjoyed this.
150mにしましたが、やはり高い方が景色がいいです。風の音しかしない上空でワイキキ周辺の景色を楽しめます。
一眼レフでの写真を30$追加で下から撮ってもらえますが、上空からの景色も撮っておけばよかったと思っています。
落とさないようにケーブルで首につけてカメラを持っていけばよかったです。
最後に着水するときはライフジャケットをつけているので腰下しか濡れません。
スタッフの方が楽しませてくれるので最高の思い出になりました。
私はジェットコースター乗れませんが、これは楽しめました。
A bright blue sky, white clouds, and a warm welcome from many dolphins. I made the best memories. Next time, I definitely want to challenge myself to the highest level.
真っ青な空、白い雲、たくさんのイルカのお出迎え。最高の思い出が出来ました。今度は是非とも最高度に挑戦したいです。
This is a must-do. You can quickly do it in the early morning and then enjoy another marine sport in the afternoon. The price is affordable, and I recommend the 120m option.
これはやるべき
早朝にパッとやって午後からまた別のマリンスポーツをやるのもあり
価格も安いしオススメは120m
I participated with my daughter in the 90m experience. Surprisingly, my daughter, who is usually scared, found it not scary at all and said it was the best! She wants to do it again! I was glad to do the 90m as well… I think it was worth it because we got to experience a wonderful view. The boat didn’t rock too much, and it was within a tolerable range. However, regarding the tips…
There were about ten $20 bills visibly taped up, implying that you should give a $20 tip. I wasn't sure if that was the group amount or not, but since I had already prepared a $15 tip, I gave that for both of us when we disembarked. The shuttle bus driver also asked for a tip while reaching out for a handshake. I thought, "Even this person?" and since I hadn’t prepared anything, I didn’t give one. I was surprised that all the tours from Veltra in Hawaii were so overtly asking for tips.
90mに母娘で参加しました。意外にも怖がりの娘が怖くなかった上、最高!又、やりたい!との感想。私は90mで良かった……素晴らしい眺めを体験出来るので、参加して良かったと思います。船もそんなに揺れず、許容範囲内でした。ただチップに関しては………
これ見よがしに$20紙幣が10枚位すでにテープで貼り付けてあります。チップ$20は出せよ。と言う意味です。グループでの額面なのかよく分からなかっのですが、既に$15のチップを用意していたので、2人分として降船時渡しました。送迎バスの運転手も握手を求めながら、チップを要求してきました。この人まで?と思いましたし、用意していなかったので渡しませんでしたが、ベルトラのハワイツアーは、どれもあからさまにチップを要求してきたので驚きました。
Parasailing was my first experience, and I was a bit nervous before taking off, but once I was in the air, it was not scary at all and felt refreshing! It was amazing!
パラセイリングは初体験で、飛ぶまではちょっとびびってましたが、空に上がると全然怖くなくて気分爽快!最高でした!
The staff were lively and made the journey enjoyable. When we went up high, it was quiet and we could see the beautiful horizon. In the end, we were unceremoniously dropped into the sea...
道中もノリが良いスタッフにて盛り上がり楽しかったです。上空に行くと静かで水平線が見れ綺麗、最後は容赦なく海に落とされます…
I'm glad I did it! I had my friends join me, and they were really happy about it too, so it was great!
やってよかったです!お友達には付き合ってもらって一緒にやってもらったんですけど、お友達にもとっても喜んでもらえたので、良かったです!
Although I was anxious because I can't swim, I was surprised to participate! In the two-hour lesson, I was able to ride the waves well. It seemed like they had a lot of fun and said they want to surf even after returning to Japan.
Thank you very much!
泳げないので不安がっていたものの、参加してビックリ‼️
2時間のレッスンでしっかり波にのることができてました。
本人たちも相当楽しかったようで日本に帰ってもサーフィンをしたいと言ってました。
ありがとうございました
It was 150 meters high, but I didn't feel as much fear as I expected. The fun staff provided great guidance, and it was a wonderful experience! You definitely have to do this when you go to Hawaii!
150メートルだったけど、思ったより高さに対する恐怖もなく、楽しいお兄さん達が指導してくれてとてもいい体験が出来ました!
ハワイに行ったら絶対やるべきー
I was a bit worried until I got on the boat, but once I was on, I thought, "Whatever happens, happens!" and decided to enjoy myself. I had a great time with the vast ocean of Hawaii, the sea breeze, and the crew's jokes and playful antics.
The boat swayed quite a bit, and some passengers got a little seasick. I think it's better to take motion sickness medication; I took some beforehand. As for tips, in our case, we handed them out casually on the way back after everyone had finished flying (I think it was $10?).
Just before taking off, they asked if we wanted to take photos, and when I said yes, they started taking pictures right after we jumped. After we got off the boat, the staff reminded us about the photos. It was $30 for cash and $35 for card payment, so I paid $30 in cash and received the SD card on the spot. They took about 70 pictures.
It was 120 meters high, but the view was amazing! If you're in Hawaii, shopping is nice, but you should definitely go flying! The bus driver for the hotel transfer also chatted with me in broken Japanese, which was fun!
船に乗るまではちょっと心配でしたが、船に乗ったらもうどうにでもなれ!という感じで、楽しむことにして、
ハワイの大海原と、潮風と、クルーさんの冗談や可愛いちょっかいを
大いに楽しみました♪
船はかなり揺れます。同乗者にも少々酔ってしまった方がおりました。
酔い止めは飲んだほうがよいと思います。私は飲んでおきました。
チップは、私達の場合は、全員が飛び終わり戻る船の中でなんとなく手渡しました。($10だったかな?)
写真のデータは、いざ飛び上がる直前に、写真撮るか?と聞かれ、お願いしますと頼むと、飛び上がったあとすぐに撮り始まってくれました。船を降りてから、係の人が写真頼みましたよね、と声をかけてくれて、
現金だと$30、カードだと$35なので、現金で$30支払い、SDカードをその場で受け取れます。約70枚撮ってくれました。
120mでしたが、眺めは最高ーー!ハワイに来たなら、お買い物もいいけど、飛んどいたほうがいいです(´∀`)ノ
ホテルまでの送迎バスの運転手さんも、片言の日本語で楽しくお話ししてくださいました♪
I boldly signed up for the 150m experience. We went straight up into the sky, and it felt quite high, but it was refreshing. My family of three was able to fly together, creating wonderful memories. I took motion sickness medication, but my son felt a bit seasick. However, by the time we finished and were heading back, it seemed like he completely forgot about the seasickness because we were able to see two whales. It was a very lucky experience!
思い切って150mで申し込みました。すーと上空に上がって行き、かなり高く感じましたが爽快でした。家族3人で飛ぶことができ、いい思い出になりました。酔い止めを飲んで乗りましたが息子は少し船酔いをしていました。しかし、全員が終わって帰るときに2頭のクジラを見ることができ、船酔いも完全に忘れていたようです。とてもラッキーな体験をしました!
I was unsure about the height, but I participated at 120m. The moment I felt myself float, I was above the deep blue sea! I was moved by the pleasant breeze and the view I had never seen before!
高さ迷いましたが、120mで参加しました。
ふわっと浮いたと思った瞬間に、真っ青な海の上にいました!気持ちの良い風と初めての景色に感動しました!
I purchased four tickets intending to participate twice with my son and wife, but we were forced into a single ride with three family members. When I requested a refund for one ticket at the end, they refused, claiming it was longer and more expensive instead. However, in reality, it lasted only about four or five minutes and didn't even reach 150 meters in height. I later found that a third of the $30 photo service shots were failures. The staff was friendly, but overall... it was disappointing.
息子と妻、息子と自分のペア2回で参加するつもりで4人分のチケットを購入したのにも関わらず勝手に家族3人同乗の1回にさせられました。解散の際に1人分のチケット代の返金を求めたらその代わりにもっと高くもっと長くやったからと拒否。。しかし実際には4,5分位で高さもぜんぜん150メートルに届かず。30ドルの写真サービスも後で確認したら三分の一が失敗ショット。。。スタッフの態度は親切だったが、全般的に・・・残念でした。。
There were two instructors, and they seemed to have a bad relationship. One casually rode the waves during the lesson, while the other spoke poorly of the other, creating an awkward atmosphere. Additionally, when I purchased the photos, I was surprised to find that they included pictures of everyone. There was a significant imbalance in the number of photos for each person, which was disappointing. Personally, I felt that my own photos were far fewer than I had expected, and I regretted buying them.
インストラクターが2人いて、仲が悪そうだった。
1人はレッスンの間に気ままに波に乗ったり、もう1人は相手を悪く言ったりしていて気まずかった。
また、写真を購入したら全員分の写真が入っており、驚いた。
1人1人の写真の数の偏りも激しく、残念だった。
個人的には自分の写真が期待よりはるかに写真が少なく、買わなければよかったと思った。
