Oahu
I reserved the front row guaranteed seats. We arrived around 16:40, but there were already about 15 people in line. We didn't know where the entrance was and ended up walking all the way around the Hilton, so I recommend getting there as early as possible! The show is definitely worth it. The muscular men are mesmerizing. I especially recommend taking videos of the fire show and the finale so you can look back at them later. It's better not to have high expectations for the buffet. We didn't have much of an appetite due to jet lag, so we just had a light meal and then relaxed at the bar afterward. There are other luaus, but this one is calm and I recommend it for travelers who don't have much time!
前方確約席を予約。
16:40頃に到着しましたが、既に15名ほどの方が並んでいました。
私たちは入口が分からず、ヒルトンをぐるっと一周してしまったので、なるべく早めに行く事をお勧めします!!
ショーは見応え十分。
ムキムキの男性陣にうっとりします。
特にファイヤーショーと、フィナーレは動画にとると、後で見返せるのでお勧めです。
ブッフェは期待しないほうが良いですね。
私達は時差ボケの為あまり食欲が無かったので軽く食べて、終わった後にのんびりバーに行きました。
他にもフラショーはありますが、ここは落ち着いて観れるし、時間がない旅行者の方にもお勧めです!
I booked a day pass tour with transportation included. It was cloudy that day, so it was very quiet. The venue opened at 10:30, and I was able to enter right away. The locker instructions were easy to understand, and I could rent one without any hassle.
Thanks to the low crowd, I was able to enjoy the attractions without much waiting. However, due to the limited number of staff, some attractions were closed at certain times, so I recommend adjusting your schedule accordingly.
For lunch, I found hamburgers and pizza at the concession stand, which I could enjoy on a nearby bench. The area was more compact than I expected, and since it was not crowded, I was able to experience all the attractions and have plenty of fun until the bus departure at 15:00.
The attractions were more thrilling than I anticipated, making me want to experience them again and again. I definitely want to go back!
1日利用券の送迎付きツアーを申し込みました。
この日は曇りだったので、非常に空いてました。10時半開場で、すぐ入場することができました。ロッカーの案内もすぐわかることができ、簡単に借りられました。
空いているおかげで、アトラクションにもほとんど並ぶことなく乗ることができました。ただし、スタッフの人数も少ないせいか、時間帯によっては閉まっていたりしたので、時間をズラして回ることをおすすめします。
昼ご飯は売店でハンバーガーやピザが売っていたので、近くのベンチで食べることができました。
広さは思ったよりもコンパクトで、空いていたので、ひと通りのアトラクションを体験することができ、15時集合のバスまで十分に楽しむことができました。
アトラクションは思ったよりもスリルがあったので、何回でも体験したくなるものばかりでした。
是非とももう一度行ってみたいと思います。
Since it was a trip to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, we booked the Diamond Seat. The front row center seat was impressive. I'm glad we chose the Diamond option. The meal was a buffet, and while it wasn't exceptionally delicious, it was decent. There was also a separate dessert buffet with pineapple cake and fruits. Each person received three drink tickets, but we couldn't use them all. The performers engaged with the audience, calling out to people and dancing on stage, which made it lively and interactive. After leaving the venue, we were able to take photos with the performers (no tips required).
Negative points: The meeting location had changed. It would have been helpful to have directional signs along the way to reach the location. I felt anxious while searching around.
両親の結婚50周年祝いの旅行だったため、ダイヤモンドシートで予約。最前列中央席で迫力があった。ダイヤモンドにしてよかった。食事は、バイキングで特別美味しいという程ではないが、まあまあでした。デザートも別にバイキングあり、パイナップルケーキやフルーツ。ドリンクチケット1人3枚づつあったが、使い切れなかった。パフォーマーの方が、客席の人に声をかけ、ステージで踊ったりと参加型で盛り上がった。会場を出たところで、パフォーマーの方達と写真を撮ることができた(チップ不要)
マイナスポイント:集合場所が変更となっていた。また、場所までたどり着くための途中に案内表示などがあったらよかった。不安なまま探し回ってあせった。
Crew was knowledgeable and helpful! Made the experience fun and definitely something we’ll do again!! My two oldest sons and I parasailed together which made it EVEN better! We’ve talked about so many times since we got back home!
I was worried whether the activity would take place due to the heavy rain that started the day before and the cloudy morning, but since I didn't receive any cancellation notice in the morning, I waited as planned. The pickup arrived 15 minutes late, but I thought it was understandable given the heavy traffic around. The staff primarily spoke English but also spoke a little Japanese, and they were bright and friendly.
While parasailing, the boat was really rocky, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it's definitely better to take medication. The parasailing experience had stunning views and was absolutely amazing! It's definitely worth doing at least once!
前の日から稀に見る大雨で朝も曇ってたから催行されるか心配でしたが
朝に中止の連絡もなかったのでそまま待ってました。迎えの時間から15分遅れで来たけど周りは渋滞多いのでしょうがないかなと思います。
スタッフは基本英語だけど日本語も少し話してくれて
明るく親切でした。
パラセーリング中より船の上にいる方が凄く揺れるので酔いに弱い人は薬を確実に飲んだ方が良いです。
パラセーリングはとても景色が良く最高でした!!
一度はやる価値ありです!
I really felt like I was in Hawaii.
It's something you should definitely see at least once when you come to Hawaii.
Making a reservation was also very easy.
Amazing!!
ハワイだな〜〜と実感しました。
ハワイに来たら一度は見るべき
予約も簡単にとれまささた。
最高!!
Sailing tour from Hilton Hawaiian Village.
The weather was great, and we saw sea turtles swimming before departure.
Once we set sail, we enjoyed dolphins jumping and splashing.
The views were fantastic, and it was the best tour ever.

I signed up for a 120-meter (800-foot) course.
I participated on a weekday at 11 AM, and there were a total of 10 participants, including my family, a foreign family, and a couple.
Since it was my first time experiencing parasailing, I was quite nervous, but the staff were very cheerful and made me laugh. While they were setting things up, they kept saying, "Little shark, big shark, cool shark, hungry shark!" which made me laugh.
The ascent to 120 meters was over in no time. We flew with three adults! The view was something you can't see normally, and the wind felt amazing! It was the best! I want to do it again!
高さ120メートル(800フィート)のコースを申し込みました。
平日の11時からのに参加し、参加者は私たち家族と外国人家族、カップル1組の計10人でした。
初めてパラセイリングを体験するのでかなりドキドキしていましたが、スタッフさんがかなり明るい人で笑わせてくれました。
セッティングしてもらっている間も「チイサイ サメ~、オオキイ サメ~、カッコイイ サメ~、ハングリー サメ~ いる!!」といって笑わせてくれました。
120メートルまではあっという間でした。
大人3人で飛びました!
景色も普段では見られないし、風がとても気持ちいい!
最高です!またやりたい!
The moment I got on the bus early in the morning while still feeling sleepy, Michael (the photographer) was so high-energy that it shook off my drowsiness. Listening to our guide Natsumi's explanations made the travel time fly by.
The crew on the boat was also lively and cheerful, and at first, I was a bit worried that I wouldn't be able to keep up, but by the time we were heading back, I was completely hooked. The staff was dedicated to finding dolphins, and we had two dolphin dives where I got to swim with many dolphins right beneath me.
This tour was incredibly fun. Every time our eyes met, the staff would engage with us. Especially Michael, who, despite being a photographer, really energized everyone. I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was a refreshing and immensely satisfying experience. I definitely want to participate again.
朝早くまだ眠い中バスに乗った瞬間、マイコー(フォトグラファー)のハイテンションに眠気もさめガイドのナツミさんの説明を聞きながらあっという間の移動時間でした。
船のクルーたちも皆元気で明るくテンション高く、最初はついていけないかな?とちょっと不安もありましたが、帰るころにはすっかりはまってました。
イルカ探しにスタッフが一生懸命で、イルカダイブも2回あり自分の真下にたくさんのイルカを見ながら泳げました。
このツアーは最高に楽しませてくれます。目が合うたびにスタッフが声をかけてくれます。
特にマイコーはフォトグラファーなのにとにかく皆を元気にしてくれます。
ハワイは何度も行ってますが、久しぶりに楽しく大大大満足でした。
是非又参加したいです。
The dolphin tour is full of energy thanks to the natural power of Hawaii! Please come back to visit us again. Mahalo.
イルカツアーはハワイの自然パワーもありみんな元気一杯です!
また遊びに来てくださいね。
Mahalo
My family had a great time. Thanks Riley and your team for an outstanding customer service, very well organized and awesome hospitality.
We participated as a family of three because we wanted to see the sandbar. Since two of us can't swim, we were looking for a tour that would be easy for non-swimmers to join, and we found this one.
The Angel Sea was very beautiful! Perhaps due to the timing, the sandbar wasn't visible, but the water's clarity was incredible! We learned how to use the snorkeling gear and had a fun experience in a safe area. We also got to see sea turtles from the boat and throw bread to the fish, which was a unique experience. The hamburger we had on the boat was delicious!
サンドバーが見たくて家族3人で参加しました。3人のうち2人が泳げないので、そういう人も気軽に参加できるツアーを探してたところこちらのツアーを見つけ、今回参加してみました。
天使の海はとても綺麗でした!時間帯のせいか中洲は現れてなかったのですが、海の透明度が半端なかったです!そこでシュノーケリングの使い方を習い、安全な場所で楽しく体験出来ました。また、船から海ガメを見ることができたり、魚にパンを投げたり今までにない体験が出来ました。船の中で食べたハンバーガーは美味しかった!
I was a bit anxious about the English-only guide, but it was longer and more enjoyable than the zip lines in Japan. It was a bit pricey with the transportation included, but it was a great experience.
英語ガイドのみで不安もありましたが、日本のジップラインより長くて楽しめました。送迎付きで少しお高いですが、いい経験が出来ました。
Loved the volleyball game- perfect fun for my teenage boys! We saw lots of turtles and a Ray! Enjoyed the excursion!!! Thanks to you- a happy crew
This tour was wonderful. I’d been to Pearl Harbor years ago with family. The tour added an xtra touch - our tour guide, Marlon, was an added bonus. He spoke with reverence and compassion and gave us a lot of local information and history. Definitely recommend!
Although I couldn't speak Japanese, the reception staff taught me how to check in using a tablet, making the check-in process very easy.
日本語が通じないが 受付スタッフの方たちが
タブレットにての受付を教えてくれるので チェックインも簡単にできた
I signed up for the buffet course, but the live performance was only held on the second floor, and we were seated on the first floor, so we couldn't enjoy the performance. After finishing our meal, we were on the deck on the third floor, but I felt that the all-you-can-eat appetizers and drinks course might have been better. However, the fireworks on Friday were wonderful. It was truly a luxurious time.
ブッフェコースを申し込みましたが、生演奏は二階席のみで行われていて、自分達は一階席だったので、演奏は楽しめませんでした。食事を済ませ、三階のデッキに居ましたが、アペタイザー&ドリンク飲み放題のコースの方が良かったような気もしました。でも金曜日の花火は素晴らしかったです。それはもう贅沢な時間でした。
The instructor provided thorough explanations and support in advance. Thanks to that, all participants were able to catch the waves! I wanted to experience more than just sightseeing in Hawaii on my second visit, so it truly became a wonderful memory.
インストラクターさんがしっかり事前説明、サポートしてくださいます。
そのおかげで参加者全員が波に乗れてました!2回目以降のハワイで観光よりも体験したかったので、本当に良い思い出になりました。
I had always wanted to go after seeing it on TV and in magazines, but it was incredibly small, and I was able to go around it in no time. The slides were all quite similar, and I wished there were more regular pools. Moreover, the wave pool requires an additional fee, and the lockers are expensive, so they really charge you for everything.
The good points were that it was very empty and the hamburgers were fairly tasty. The Shaka was interesting.
テレビや雑誌で見ててずっと行きたいと思っていたのですが、めちゃくちゃ狭くてすぐに一周周れてしまいました。
スライダーも、同じようなものばかりで、普通のプールがもっとあればいいなと思いました。
しかも、波乗りするプールは別料金だしロッカーも高いし、何かとぼったくります。
良かった点は、めちゃくちゃ空いてたことと、ハンバーガーがまあまあ美味しかったことくらい、、、。
シャカは面白かったです。
I was a bit worried when the pickup was delayed, but after waiting for about 20 minutes, I met up with the staff and felt relieved. After the pickup, I signed a waiver in the car, and as soon as we arrived at the location, we were guided to the boat, ready to set off into the waters of Waikiki. There were six groups on the boat (we were the only Japanese), and ten minutes later, the first group started parasailing! We were the last to go, and before sailing, the staff asked us, "Are you okay with getting wet?" to which we replied, "Okay!" What does "getting wet" mean? We enjoyed the stunning views at the highest point and began our descent, splashing into the water with a "splash!" Oh! So this is what "getting wet" means. The flight lasted about five minutes, and I thought, "I wish it could be a bit longer!" It was a very satisfying tour. It's something anyone can do, and it's definitely worth experiencing even if you're not in Hawaii.
ピックアップが遅れてちょっと心配しましたが、20分程度待ってスタッフと合流しほっとしました。
ピックアップ後、車内で、誓約書にサインし、現地に着くと即、ボートに案内され、いざ!ワイキキの海に出発、ボートには6組(日本人は我々のみ)が乗船し、10分後には、1組目がパラセーリングスタート!!
私たちは最後のスタートで、セーリング前にスタッフから『ビショ・ビショ OK?』と聞かれ『OK!』、”ビショ・ビショ”って何だ?、最高地点で絶景を満喫し降下し始めて、海面に”ジャボン!”、あ!これが”ビショビショ”か
、およそ5分程度のフライトで、『もう少し長いといいな!』と思いつつ終了。非常に満足するツアーでした。誰にでもできて、ハワイでなくとも1度は体験する価値十分です。
The parasailing at 120 meters above the sea was a wonderful experience. The view from above the ocean was amazing. There was almost no sound, just the pleasant sound of the wind. I was able to enjoy a comfortable time with Diamond Head in the background. The captain was a lot of fun, and he took many photos from the boat. Photos are available for purchase. The kids also had a great time with this activity.
海上120mのパラセイルは、とても気持ちの良いものでした。海の上からの景色は最高でした。音はほとんどなく、心地よい風の音のみでした。ダイアモンドヘッドをバックに、快適な時間を過ごす事ができました。船長さんはとても楽しい人で、ボートの上からたくさん写真を撮っていただきました。写真は購入可能です。子供たちも、大満足のアクティビティでした。
While they recommended purchasing photos, we were unable to buy them because we weren't photographed. It seems they misunderstood and thought we were in the same group as the honeymoon couple in front of us, but I believe it was their mistake for not confirming properly and not reaching out to us. This was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii, and we are truly disappointed.
写真の購入を勧めておきながら撮ってもらえず購入することができなかった。
私達の前のハネムーンカップルと同じグループだと勘違いして写真を撮らなかったようですが、きちんと確認せず声かけしなかったそちらのミスだと思います。
今回のハワイ旅行で一番のイベントだったのにほんとがっかり。
I had read about this in a guidebook I bought in Japan and absolutely wanted to do it. Since I requested no pickup, the meeting location was a bit hard to find, and I got lost. I participated in the 90m option because I had an elementary school child with me, but even at 90m, the height was very satisfying. The view of Waikiki from the sea became a wonderful memory!
日本で買ったガイドブックに記載があり絶対にやりたいと思っていました。
送迎なしでお願いしたので受付場所が少しわかりづらく迷いました。
小学生の子供がいたので90mで参加しましたが90mでも大満足できる高さでした。
海から眺めるワイキキの景色はとても思い出になりました!
Yuki, the Japanese staff member, accompanied us and provided various explanations. It was clear that the other staff members were also attentive to safety. The hamburgers we had for lunch were delicious. Since we went out on a sunny day, it seemed that members who used sun visors also got sunburned on their heads. Don't forget hats and sunscreen!
We had a valuable experience encountering sea turtles and swimming around the coral reefs while snorkeling. It's understandable that there are repeat visitors.
日本人スタッフユキさんが同乗、色々説明していただき、また他のスタッフも安全に配慮している様子がうかがえました。お昼のハンバーガーが美味しかったです。晴天日に出かけたので、サンバイザー使用のメンバーは頭も日焼けしたようです。帽子、日焼け止めなど忘れずに!
うみがめとの遭遇、シュノーケルでサンゴ礁の周りを泳いだり、と貴重な体験をしました。リピーターの方がいらっしゃるのも納得です
It was fun. There were four adults, and it was everyone's first time participating. The pickup time at the hotel was just right (around 9 AM), but when you include the transportation fee from the Waikiki area, it feels a bit pricey. I think six activities, including both long and short ones, is just the right amount. Don't expect much from the scenery. Just keep in mind that after going down, you have to climb back up over 75 steps! There was also someone in their 80s in the same group, so it's an activity that people of all ages can enjoy.
楽しかったです。成人4名、皆初めての参加でした。ホテルでのピックアップ時間もちょうどよかったですが、(9時前後)ワイキキエリアからの送迎代金を含めると割高感があります。長短含め6本、ちょうどよい量だと思います。景色は期待はしないでください。ただ下がったあと、75段あまりの階段を上がって戻ります!
同じ班には80代の方もいたので、老若男女楽しめるアクテビティです
I participated in the tour that started at 8:30. Picking up participants at three hotels went smoothly, but after that, it was a long wait. There was a long line to sign in, and we had to wait to move to the base, and even after arriving at the base, we had to wait quite a bit (to switch with those who had finished).
I thought I would be back at the hotel around 10:30, but I didn’t return until just before noon. If you have plans in the afternoon, I recommend allowing extra time.
Parasailing was incredibly enjoyable and fun; even for someone like me who is not fond of heights, it was not scary at all. Choosing to go up to 150 meters was definitely the right decision!
When moving from the base to the boat for parasailing (which felt like about 5 minutes), and while waiting for others to finish parasailing, it’s easy to get seasick. If you are prone to seasickness, I think taking medication is essential.
There were staff members who spoke Japanese, and the instructors were familiar with Japanese people, so I had no trouble with communication at all.
*Please note that times may vary depending on the instructor and the participants on the day.*
Overall, I am very satisfied!
8時半からのツアーに参加しました。
3ヵ所のホテルで参加者をピックアップ…までは順調でしたが、
そこからが長かったです。
署名するのに長い列、拠点への移動までも待たされ、拠点に着いてからもまぁまあ待たされました。
(終わった人たちと入れ替えで移動するため)
10時過半くらいにはホテルに戻れるかと思っていましたが、戻れたのは12時前でした。
午後から予定を入れているときは余裕を持たれた方がよいと思います。
パラセーリングはすごく気持ちよく、楽しく、高いところが苦手な私でも全く怖くありませんでした。
150mにして正解でした!
拠点からパラセーリングをする船に移動する時(体感5分くらい)と、他の方がパラセーリングをしている待っている間が船酔いしやすいです。
船酔いされる方は薬は必須かと思います。
Officeの方には日本語を話せる方もおり、インストラクターも日本人慣れしていて、言葉には全く不自由しませんでした。
※時間などは担当のインストラクターや、当日の参加者によって変わると思います。
総合的に、大満足です!
マハロ - 美しい日。
Mahalo - beautifiul day.
You travel in a group with people from various countries, not just Japanese. At first, it can be intimidating, but the feeling of gliding through the wind is unbeatable. You can do the longest course one last time at the end. It ended just when you wanted to do a little more.
日本人だけじゃなくていろんな国の方々とグループで周ります。最初こそ怖いけど風をきってすすむ心地よさはたまりません。一番長いコースを最後にもう一度できます。もうちょっとやりたいなぁ、ってところで終わりました。
Everyone, including the driver, only spoke English, so I was initially worried. However, even if you don't understand English, you can still enjoy it fully and feel safe. Wow, that scenery is something you should experience!
ドライバーさん始め全員が英語しか話せない人だったため最初は不安でしたが、英語がわからなくても充分楽しめるし安心・安全です。いやぁあの景色は体験するべきです!!
Great people and entertainment. Definitely recommend this show to anyone

Once a year, I do an activity! This year it was parasailing! The weather was perfect and the crew was friendly! The views and the sense of freedom were amazing! This was the best activity of the year. I'm glad I chose Veltra without hesitation!
The boarding and disembarking from the boat were smooth, so there was nothing to worry about. I got to see Waikiki Beach, Ala Moana, and Diamond Head all at once—what a fantastic feeling! This is something everyone should experience at least once!
After getting off the boat, I saw the photos (for a fee) and they made for a great keepsake with Diamond Head in the background. The tip was just a small amount, so there was nothing to worry about!
毎年1回はアクティビティ!
今年はパラセイリング!最高の天気と親切なクルー!最高の眺望と開放感!今年は最高のアクティビティでした。迷うことなくベルトラさんにして良かった!
船からの離発着もスムースで何も心配なし、ワイキキビーチ、アラモアナそしてダイヤモンドヘッド!一望でき最高の気分!一度は体験すべし!
下船して写真(有料)観たらダイヤモンドヘッドをバックにし良い記念になりました。チップも気持ち程度で何も心配なし!
There was no BBQ, and the buffet was quite terrible. I would recommend not ordering it. Everything else was satisfactory, but you should definitely avoid the BBQ plan.
BBQ は無く、かなり酷いバイキングでした。
頼まない方がいいかと。
他は満足ですが絶対にBBQプラン頼まない方がいいです。
