Oahu
The day of participation was unfortunately marked by cloudy skies and intermittent rain, but when the sun peeked through for a moment, it was absolutely beautiful! We played beach volleyball, and even though we couldn't communicate with people from other countries, it felt like we connected through sports, making it a really enjoyable time! The hamburger we had for lunch was also incredibly delicious! We were able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling! I think it would be stunning on a sunny day, so I would love to participate again!
参加日はあいにくの曇りとパラパラ雨の繰り返しでしたが、一瞬晴れ間がさすと最高にきれいでした!
ビーチバレーをやりましたが他国の方たちと言葉は通じませんが、スポーツで気持ちが繋がった感じがしてとっても楽しい時間でした!
お昼に食べたハンバーガーもすごくおいしかったです!
シュノーケリングもお魚がたくさん見れました!
晴れたら最高にきれいだと思うのでまた参加したいです!
I had a great time!
On a weekday in July, I was able to ride smoothly with relatively short lines.
Since the ground is hot, it's definitely better to wear water shoes.
とても楽しかったです!
7月平日、比較的並ばずスムーズに乗れました。
地面が暑いので、絶対に海用のシューズを履いて行ったほうがよきです。
It was a tour aimed at enjoying the night view, but due to the bad weather and having some extra time, we changed it to a sunset cruise. The planned 20-minute cruise was shortened to just over 10 minutes without notice, which left my family a bit dissatisfied, but we were able to see a wonderful sunset, so I’ll take it as a positive experience.
夜景遊覧が目的のツアーでしたが、天候不順なのと時間に余裕があったのでサンセット遊覧に変更してもらいました。予定の20分の遊覧時間が10分ちょっとに勝手に短縮され、家族は少々不満気味でしたが素晴らしいサンセットを見れたのでまぁ良しとします。
Dear Debu,
Thank you very much for visiting Washin Air the other day, and for your comments as well.
While the night flight offers a beautiful view of Waikiki's night scenery, I also recommend our sunset tour, which allows you to fly amidst the sunset on clear days. The approximately 20-minute flight time indicates the estimated duration from the departure of Washin Air's hangar to the return. There will be no shortening of flight time due to our circumstances. Additionally, both the sunset tour and the night tour involve a route that circles Diamond Head, and a flight time of just over 10 minutes is not feasible.
Please note that due to air traffic control instructions, we may have to change the route at times, which could result in shorter or longer flight times. Generally, passengers seem to enjoy their flights, so the time often feels shorter.
I’m glad you were able to witness a wonderful sunset.
Debu様 先日はワシン・エアにお越しいただきまして、誠にありがとうございました。またコメントもいただきましてありがとうございます。
ワイキキのきれいな夜景をご覧いただけるナイトフライトもいいですが、お天気のいい日は夕焼けの中を飛ぶこのサンセットツアーもお勧めです。約20分のフライトとありますのは、ワシン・エアのハンガーを出発して帰ってくるまでのおおよその時間を示しております。弊社の都合でフライト時間を短縮事はございません。また、サンセットツアー並びにナイトツアーはダイヤモンドヘッドを回って帰ってくるツアーとなっており、約10分ちょっとのフライト時間というのは不可能です。また、管制塔の指示によりその時によってルートを変更せざるを得ない場合もございますが、その場合のフライト時間は短くなったり、長くなる場合もございます。だいたい皆様フライトされますと、喜んで頂きますので、時間が短く感じられるようです。
素晴らしいサンセットを見て頂けて何よりでございました。
We enjoy had a lot of fun! The kids played very high with every equipment.
I participated with my father and son. It was much more fun than I expected, and I think it's a recommended tour for people who love marine sports!
私の父と息子で参加。思ってたよりもすごく楽しかったようでマリンスポーツ好きの人にはお勧めのツアーと思います!
I participated first thing in the morning, so the ending time was also in the morning. It was great that there was no wasted time. I've done parasailing a few times, so I chose a height of 150 meters. It was really pleasant and the best experience. It was still a bit chilly in the morning, so after getting splashed in the sea, I felt a little cold. The foreign girl whose birthday it was that day was getting dunked in the water as a special treat, so by the time she returned to the boat, she was shivering (laughs). That must have become a good memory for her too (*^_^*). I’ve definitely decided to participate again next time!
朝一番に参加したので、終了時間も朝^^
時間に無駄がなくてすごく良かったです。
パラセーリングは何度かやっているので、高さは150メートルにしました。
本当に気持ちよくて最高でした。
朝はまだ少し肌寒かったので、海ポチャされた後はちょっと寒かったです。
その日が誕生日だった外国人の女の子は、大サービスで海に沈みまくられていたので、船に戻ったときには震えていました(笑)
それもいい思い出になったことでしょう(*^_^*)
次回もまた参加決定です!!
We participated as a family, and the staff was cheerful and friendly, which was great. If there's an opportunity, we would like to participate again. Our 3-year-old child was also able to join and was very happy.
家族で参加しましたが、スタッフも陽気で親切で、とて良かったです。
機会があればまた参加したいです。
3才の子供も参加出来てとても喜んでました。
Thank you!
Mahalo!
I took my daughter and her family to this Luau and I am so glad we bought the Royal package. It was great. We were right in front and the dancing was great and the Fire dancing was fantastic. I also liked the fact the they involved you in different activities. Food was great also. I liked the fact they will stay and take pictures with you at the end with your own camera. Overall I would definitely recommend this Luau to everyone.
I'm a repeat visitor.
The pool is very enjoyable. I highly recommend it. Since I rented a cabana, I was able to relax with my family without worrying about being seen by others. They provide fruit and water bottles.
The staff comes to take food orders, so you can relax without having to line up at the concession stand.
Regarding the shuttle bus, the confirmation screen said that you don't need to bring the voucher (or show it), so I took that at face value and didn't bring it. However, the staff at the pickup insisted that I show it. I explained that I didn't bring it because I was told it wasn't necessary, and after quite a bit of back and forth, I was finally allowed to board the bus.
My name was on the list the staff had, though. Next time, even if it says you don't need to bring the voucher, I won't trust it and will bring it anyway.
リピーターです。
プールはとても楽しめます。おすすめです。カバナを借りたので、人目を気にせず、家族でゆっくりと過ごせました。フルーツと水のボトルがつきます。
食事のオーダーも係の方が取りに来て下さるので売店に並ばなくてもよいのでのんびりできます。
送迎のバスについてですが、申し込み完了画面に、バウチャーは持参しなくても(見せなくて)よいと書いてあったので、真に受けて持参しませんでした。ところが迎えのバスの係員は見せろの一点張り。見せなくてよいと言われたから持ってこなかった、とかなーり粘ってようやくバスに乗せてもらいました。
係員の持っている名簿に名前あるのですがね。次回はバウチャーは持ってこなくてよい、と記載あっても信じずに持参します。
Departure around 7 o'clock and return around 3 o'clock. The tour itself takes about an hour, with one session in the morning and one in the afternoon. There was a lot of waiting time, and it wasn't that impressive. Well, I thought it wouldn't hurt to go at least once!
7時前後出発から戻りが3時頃 中身のツアーは所要時間が1時間前後で午前と午後に1回づつ
待ち時間が多いしあまり大したことなかった。
まあ、一度は行っても損はないかな!と思いました。
The staff were very kind, and I had a bright and enjoyable time.
I was able to see dolphins, sea turtles, and fish.
Thank you very much.
I think Japanese people will be satisfied.
スタッフの皆さんがとても親切で明るく楽しい時間を過ごしました。
イルカとウミガメと魚を見ることがでぎました。
ありがとうございました。
日本人の方は満足できると思います。
I had an absolutely amazing time!!! The boat was smaller than I expected, and there were just four groups of Japanese people, which was just right! The waves and wind were thrilling! If you're even a little worried about seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must to enjoy the experience! The staff was really entertaining!
I was nervous before taking off, but once we were in the air, it was so much fun, and the view of the blue ocean, Diamond Head, and Waikiki was incredible!!! I put my smartphone in a waterproof case and hung it around my neck, and I was able to take photos while flying!
When you drop into the water, they probably adjust based on the people. You can purchase the SD card with the photos taken. I paid $30 in cash. This experience was truly the best! I highly recommend it!!!
めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです!!!
船は思ってたより小さくて、日本人ばかりの四組でしたが丁度いいくらい!波も風も迫力ありで味わえます!船酔いが少しでも心配な人は楽しむために酔い止めは必須!
スタッフの盛り上げがとてもおもしろい!
飛ぶまでがドキドキでしたが、いざ飛んでみたらめちゃくちゃ楽しくて、青い海とダイヤモンドヘッドにワイキキの景色が最高!!!
スマホを防水ケースに入れて首にかけてましたが、飛んでる間も撮影できました!
海にポチャンはたぶん人をみてして加減してくれます。
写真撮影をしてくれたSDカードが購入できます。30ドルで私はドルで支払いました。
この経験は本当に最高!
ぜひおススメです!!!
I've used this several times!
It's a parasailing tour with some really funky boat captains!
On my last day in Hawaii, I always look down at the city of Waikiki from the sky here and think, "I want to come back next time!"
何度か利用しています!
とてもファンキーな船頭さんたちがいるパラセーリングツアー!
ハワイの最終日は、いつもここで、空からワイキキの街を眺めて、また次回も来よう!と思ってます!
The woman who gave us the lei was extremely friendly ! She even guided us the way to the terminal and gate of our connecting flight ! This was really great of her. Thank you so much for this support and the beautiful fresh lei .
Mahalo
Martin Eitz
Aloha Martin!
Thank you for providing that wonderful review! It was a pleasure for your greeter, Josie, to provide you utmost aloha. She definitely enjoyed having lei'd you both, and she will be notified of your feedback. We hope you had a wonderful trip to the island, and we hope to serve you again in the future!
Mahalo!

I believe we ordered one buggy each and received confirmation, but when we arrived, only one was prepared... If that was the case, it would have been appreciated if you had clearly stated from the beginning that only one could be rented per group. I am very disappointed.
バギーをそれぞれ一台ずつオーダーしてOKを頂いたはずなんですが、行ってみたら、1台しか用意されていない、、、。
だったら、グループの人は一台しか借りられませんよと、最初から明記して頂けたらありがたかった。残念でなりません。
It was my first time surfing, and I was worried about participating alone, especially since I'm not very good at English, but I had a great time. The instructor provided careful guidance in simple English and broken Japanese, and I was able to stand on the board from the very first time. Thank you very much.
サーフィンは初めてなうえ、ひとりでの参加、しかも英語はそんなに得意ではないので参加するまでは心配でしたが、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
インストラクターは簡単な英語とカタコトの日本語で丁寧に指導してくださり、一回目からボードの上に立つことが出来ました。
ありがとうございました。
I participated with my 7-year-old daughter.
It was her first time paragliding.
Since she loves roller coasters, I thought she would enjoy it, so we chose the 120-meter option.
When we took off, she seemed scared and cried! (laughs)
But as she got used to it, she started to enjoy it, albeit nervously. (^_^)
We hadn't planned to buy photos, but we decided to purchase them as a keepsake.
They are provided on an SD card.
7歳の娘と二人で参加しました。
娘は初めてのパラセイリングでした。
ジェットコースター好きなので、喜ぶと思い120メートルを選びました。
いざ、飛び?出すと怖かったようで、泣きました!笑
だんだんなれてくると、ビビりながらも楽しんでました(^_^)
写真は購入予定ではなかったですが、記念にと購入しました。
SDカードで渡されます。
The luau itself was amazing. My family and I enjoyed participating in the pre show activities while learning about true polynesian culture and traditions. It's a smaller luau with only about 200 guests but with the smaller number of patrons you really get to interact and learn from everyone involved.
The host for the activities, Uncle Bob, has a great sense of humor as do the men that do the "cooking" and food prep demonstrations. These men are no joke, they even climbed up the coconut trees. They teach you about a traditional tribe welcoming and uses the guests to act as the tribes while explaining the rituals associated with welcoming guests to their community.
Not a huge selection of foods to sample but everything there was delicious. Kalua pork, teriyaki chicken, macaroni salad, green salad with macadamia nuts, rice, rolls, chantilly cake from Teds Bakery and a coconut type of jello dessert.
The family band that played music during dinner was Amazing. Those kids can really sing! The dancing was very traditional, not just girls in coconut bras and hula skirts, but real polynesian dancing showcasing dances from a variety of the polynesian islands. I was a VIP guest and we were right at eye level with the stage but it looked like most people would have quite a good view of the stage. We also got to go to the buffet first and got great souvenirs. My husband and I got hand fans, my son got a wooden Maui-type hook necklace and my daughter got a wood beaded bracelet that said Hawaii with hibiscus flowers printed on it. After dinner and show on your way out you were able to speak more with the staff and dancers and take pictures with them.
If it was your birthday we all sang happy birthday and you got an extra piece of cake, if it was your anniversary or honeymoon they brought you onstage for a slow dance and gave you a nut lei.
All this plus you get entry into the Waimea valley where you can swim in a waterfall and see beautiful trees and foliage!
Aloha, and mahalo mui for your review. We are review. We are pleased to know that you had the best time at the luau. It is with delight that we read your review of your luau, which we have planned to be an Interactive one. I by the way also hope the band played and sang Blue Bayou. That song, sang by an of the kids is a real tear jerker.
What an amazing time we had on our sunset cruise that left right outside of our hotel (Hilton Hawaiian Village). The staff on the boat were incredibly friendly, and we enjoyed chatting with them as we sailed along. The drinks and snacks were great, and the best part of all were the breath-taking views, especially watching the sun set! We went with another couple with whom we were traveling, and we all put this activity toward the top of our list of memorable things we did while visiting.
I was impressed that we could see fish up close! It was exciting and fun to ride in a submarine on the sea. We participated as a three-generation family, and everyone was very satisfied.
すぐそばで魚が見れるのには感動❗海上で潜水艦に乗るときはドキドキして面白かったです。3世代での参加でしたが皆大満足です
The staff were very kind. They proactively offered guidance for snorkeling and took photos at the sandbar. The BBQ hamburger for lunch was incredibly delicious. Thank you for a wonderful time.
スタッフのみなさんが親切でした。シュノーケルの指導、サンドバーでの写真撮影など進んで声をかけてくれました。昼食のBBQハンバーガー最高に美味しかったです。楽しい時間をありがとうございました。
As we boarded the boat from the port and transferred to the real submarine offshore, I felt a mix of half worry and excitement about seeing the underwater world of Hawaii. It was a time when there were hardly any Japanese people around, but the Japanese explanations through the headphones helped me understand well, and I could clearly see the corals and fish on the ocean floor. Fortunately, towards the end, I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle swimming as well.
港からボートに乗り、沖で本格的な潜水艦に移るときには心配半分、これからハワイの海底が見れるというドキドキ感が入り混じりました。
日本人が殆どいないかった時間帯でしたがヘッドホンからの日本語説明で
良く理解でき海底のサンゴや魚たちの様子がはっきり見れました。
ラッキーなことに終盤にはウミガメが泳いでいるところも見られましたよ。
The climate is refreshing, so it's not as humid as a beer garden in Japan. The show was enjoyable, and the food was delicious.
However, the venue might be a bit hard to find...
気候が爽やかなので、日本のビヤガーデンみたいに蒸し暑くありません。
ショーも楽しく、料理も美味しかったです。
が、会場が少しわかりづらいかな…
The staff, the weather, everything was amazing!
I was able to see dolphins, turtles, and manta rays!
I would love to participate again if I have the chance!
スタッフさん、天気、全てにおいて最高でした!
イルカやカメ、マンタも見る事が出来ました!
また機会があれば参加したいです!
It was a great luck to meet the rare guest, Mr. Manta, at Dolphin University. Please come again!
Mahalo
イルカ大学でのレアなゲスト、マンタ先生と会えるのはとってもラッキーでしたね。
是非またいらしてください!

During our first trip to Hawaii, we decided to sign up for a Hawaiian show. We went in early June, and since it was in the evening, the sun was still shining when we were shown to our seats, which were directly in the sunlight. There was nothing to block the sun, so the seats that weren't in the shade (the ones directly in front of the stage) were extremely hot until the sun went down. Fortunately, we were seated in a shaded area, which was a relief.
The meal was a buffet, and since many people were going to get food, I was a bit worried about whether there would be enough left. However, it turned out fine. (There was a system in place where the area for getting food was determined, and you couldn't go up to get food unless you were called by the staff.)
We enjoyed the event even from our seats that weren't directly in front, and the dancing was wonderful. The male hula dancers were incredibly impressive and surprised us.
On the way back, we were able to take photos with the dancers in the lobby, which made for a great memory for us, as we had never seen authentic hula before.
初めてのハワイで、ハワイアンショーを見てみたいと思い申し込みました。
行ったのは6月上旬、夕方からなのでまだ陽も落ちてなくて座席に通される時間帯は日差し直撃。
特にさえぎる物もないため、陰になっていない席(ステージ正面席)は陽が落ちるまでは暑さ地獄。幸運にも横っちょの陰の席だったので助かりました。
食事はビュッフェで、かなりの人が取りにいくので「残っているのかなぁ~」と少々不安ではありましたが、大丈夫でした。(ビュッフェを取りにいくエリア順が決まったいました。ボーイさんからそのエリアへ声がかからないと勝手に取りにいってはいけない仕組みでした)
イベント自体は正面席でなくても十分に楽しめましたし、踊りも素晴らしかったです。男性フラが迫力満点で驚きました。
帰りには、ロビーで踊り子さんたちと写真が撮れましたし、
一度も本場のフラを見たことない私たちにとってはとても良い思い出になりました。
I was very satisfied with the tour content and the guide's response! It's just a shame about the weather and the strong waves. I would like to participate again next time.
ツアー内容、ガイドさんの対応等は大変満足でした!
ただお天気と波が強くて残念。
また次の機会に参加したいです。
Dear Ayako Mama, last summer, Hawaii was approached by three hurricanes—Hector, Lane, and Olivia—every 2 to 3 weeks, and it seems you happened to be there during Hurricane Hector. Normally, Hanauma Bay has calm waves and is a very easy beach for swimming. Please do come back to Hawaii, and this time, I will make sure to guide you to the beautiful sea, so bring your whole family along. I look forward to seeing you again on your next visit. This year marks the arrival of hurricane season again, and I pray that we won't have any major hurricanes. Thank you very much for joining the tour. Mahalo!!
あやこうママ様、昨年の夏はハリケーンヘクター、レーン、オリビアと3つのハリケーンが2〜3週間置きにハワイに接近した年で、丁度ハリケーンヘクターに当たってしまったのですね。通常のハナウマ湾は波も穏やかでとても泳ぎやすいビーチなんです。是非またハワイにお越しの際には今度こそ綺麗な海をご案内させていただきますので、ご家族皆さんでお越しくださいね。次の機会にまたお会いできるのをお待ちしております。今年もハリケーン季節の到来です。今年は大きなハリケーンが来ないことを祈っています。本当にツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
The sunset was gorgeous and service very good. Food was fine, entertainment ok.
Despite the voucher confirming a pickup at 7:25 AM in front of the hotel, I received a phone call in English just before leaving my room on the morning of the event, stating, "The pickup has been canceled, so you need to get a taxi on your own and come to the meeting point." I also had to cover the taxi fare. The sudden change communicated in English caused me to panic, and with an unstable Wi-Fi connection and no Uber account, I struggled to communicate the meeting location clearly to the taxi driver I managed to flag down in front of the hotel. I got lost in the harbor as well, and the taxi fare ended up being over $20. I felt deceived. The catch was decent, but the fishing gear was quite old and in poor condition, though I was glad to catch something. If it weren't for the last-minute change in transportation, I would have been nearly completely satisfied. I was really disappointed by the abrupt change. I recommend being prepared for self-arrival in case of transportation changes (confirming the meeting location clearly, having taxi fare, and having the Uber app ready) instead of relying solely on the provided transportation.
予約確定後のバウチャーに「滞在ホテル前で7時25分にピックアップ」と記載されていたにも関わらず、当日の朝、部屋を出る直前に、ホテルの部屋電話に、「ピックアップは無くなったから、自力でタクシーを拾って、集合場所まで来て」という英語での電話を受けた。タクシー代もこちらもち。いきなりの英語での電話による変更で、パニクる上、wifi状態も不安定で、Uberも未登録だったため、ホテル前で待機のタクシーを拾って、その運転手に、集合場所を明確に知らせるのに、とても苦労した。ハーバー内でも、迷って、タクシー代金も20ドル以上した。騙された気分。釣果はまあまあ。釣具はかなりの年季物で傷みがひどいが、釣れたから良し。送迎間際の送迎変更さえなければ、ほぼ大満足。出鼻を挫かれ、ホントにガッカリ。送迎があると安心せず、自力で集合する場合の備え(明確な集合位置確認、タクシー代、Uberアプリ等)をお薦めする。
I visited Hawaii for my wedding and honeymoon. The day before going to Hawaii, I suddenly decided I wanted to participate in this activity, so I thought it would be quicker to check for availability with someone local. As soon as I arrived in Hawaii, I visited the Beltora store there and made a reservation. The staff spoke Japanese, which made the reservation and payment process smooth. The activity itself was a lot of fun! My wife, who usually isn't comfortable with heights, seemed fine even at 150 meters and really enjoyed it.
It seemed that the staff wouldn't take photos unless you asked them. When we went out on the boat and I mentioned it while the other guests were flying, they took out a camera and started taking pictures. In the end, they took about 70 or 80 photos. When we got back, I checked the data on the camera and received it on an SD card. By the way, it cost $30. I'm very satisfied as we made some wonderful memories.
ハワイには挙式とハネムーンで訪問しました。
ハワイに行く前日にこのアクティビティに参加したいと急遽思い立ち、空きの確認等現地の方が早いかなと思って、ハワイに到着してすぐにベルトラさんのハワイの店舗に訪問し予約しました。
対応スタッフの方は日本語も対応していてスムーズに予約と支払い完了。アクティビティ自体もとても楽しかったです(^-^)嫁も高い所は苦手だったけど150mでも大丈夫そうでとても楽しんでいました。
写真の撮影はスタッフに言っておかないとしてくれない様子でした。ボートで沖に出て、他のお客さん飛ばしてる時に言ったら、カメラ取り出して撮り始めてくれました。結果7,80枚くらい写真撮ってくれました。帰ったら一応カメラで中のデータ確認してSDカードで貰いました。ちなみに30ドルでした。とても良い思い出ができて満足です。
This was, quite simply, AMAZING! The crew were all super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. As soon as we reached the snorkel spot we saw sharks, which came pretty close. We would absolutely do this again.
