Oahu
I have a tendency to get motion sickness, so I appreciated that this boat is large and has minimal rocking. We encountered whales a few times (and dolphins too). They explain which direction to look by comparing it to a clock, which makes it easy to understand. I also thought it was a nice cruise to see Waikiki and Diamond Head. However, since we didn't see the whales up very close, it's better not to have too high expectations in that regard.
乗り物酔いしやすい体質なので、こちらの船は大きく、揺れが少ないのがよかったです
クジラには何回か遭遇できました(イルカにも)
時計に例えてどっちの方角にいるかいってくださるのでわかりやすいです
ワイキキやダイアモンドヘッドをみるクルージングとしてもありだと思いました
クジラはすごく近くで見られた訳ではないので、その辺は期待しすぎない方がよいです
Thank you very much for bringing your family on our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the boat. It was truly wonderful that you were able to see whales multiple times, and also dolphins. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
この度は私共のクルーズに御家族でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測や船からの景色をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。クジラも何回も見れて、そして、イルカも見れたのは本当に良かったですね。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

We participated as a family. We took a boat with about eight guests and went out to sea, where we were able to go parasailing in groups of two or three. The staff on the boat kept the atmosphere lively, and throughout the activity, the passengers enjoyed a friendly and cheerful time together.
家族で参加しました。
ボートに8人ほどのお客を乗せ沖に出て
2-3名づつパラセイリングさせてもらいました。
ボートの上ではスタッフさんが盛り上げてくれますし、アクティビティを通して、乗客も和気あいあいとしました。
- It's recommended to take motion sickness medication as the boat can be rocky.
- It's better to have cash ready for tips.
- There is a high possibility that your lower body will get wet.
- Be cautiou
・ボートは揺れるので酔い止め服用がおすすめ
・チップ用に現金用意がベター
・下半身は水に濡れる可能性大
・帽子やサングラスはボートでの強風に注意

It exceeded the excitement I had before making the reservation, delivering an intensity and exhilaration that I couldn't have imagined. Since I didn't understand the English explanations very well, I enjoyed the location. The off-road paths were fun, and rushing through the last puddle was thrilling.
予約する前の楽しみを遥かに超えてきて、想像がつかなかったくらいの迫力と爽快感、アクティブさを感じました。英語の説明はあまり理解できなかったのでロケーションを楽しみました。オフロードの道が楽しく最後の水溜りを駆け抜けるところはスリル満点でした。

Since it was a Japanese instructor, I felt安心して参加できました. I participated with the desire to see a honu, so I was worried about the weather on the day of the event. Although the sea was slightly murky, I was able to meet the honu I had longed to see, and the instructor took many photos for me, creating wonderful memories.
日本人のインストラクターの方だったので、安心して参加できました。ホヌに逢いたい願望で参加したので、当日は天候が怪しくて心配もありました。実際に海は若干の濁りがありましたが念願のホヌにも逢え、インストラクターの方にたくさん写真を撮っていただきいい思い出になりました。

The initial date I had booked was canceled due to weather conditions. It wasn't raining, but it was probably quite windy. I received an email about the cancellation around 8:00 AM on the day of the event, so I recommend checking your email before heading to the location. If the event is canceled, you can choose to either get a refund or reschedule. I opted to reschedule. The process is completed on the Veltra website. Since bad weather is unavoidable, if you really want to go parasailing, it's a good idea to incorporate it into the earlier part of your Hawaii trip so that you can reschedule if it gets canceled. I appreciate that safety is prioritized.
It was my first time parasailing, and I was a bit scared, so I chose the 120m option. Even at 120m, it was high enough, and the view was beautiful, which made me very satisfied. The boat was small and quite fast, so it's better to take motion sickness medication beforehand. I filmed a video of my parasailing experience with a GoPro, and I'm glad I got some very immersive footage.
At one point, I was splashed into the sea and got a little wet, so it's better to wear a swimsuit. If you're bringing a camera or smartphone, I think it's a good idea to put it in a waterproof case just in case. Since I participated in January, it was a bit chilly, and wearing a rash guard was just right.
最初に申し込んでいた日は天候のためキャンセルになりました。雨は降っていませんでしたが、おそらく風が強かったのでしょう。当日の朝8:00頃メールでキャンセルの連絡があったため、当日現地に向かう前にメールチェックするのがおすすめです。キャンセルになった場合、払い戻すか、日程変更するか選べます。私は日程変更しました。手続きはベルトラのサイトで完結します。天候不良はどうしようもないので、パラセーリングを絶対したい場合はハワイ旅行の最初の方の日程に組み込んでおいて、キャンセルになっても日程変更できるようにしておくのも手です。安全第一で実施していただきありがたいです。
初パラセーリングで怖さもあり、高さ120mを選びました。120mでも十分高く、景色もとても綺麗で満足しました。船は小型でかなりスピードが出ます。酔い止めは飲んでいった方がいいです。
GoProでパラセーリング中の動画を撮影しましたが、とても臨場感がある動画が撮れて良かったです。
途中、海にドボンされ、少し濡れるので水着で行った方がいいです。カメラやスマホを持ち込む際は念の為防水ケースなどに入れると良いと思います。
1月の参加ということもあり、少し肌寒く、ラッシュガードを羽織っての参加でちょうど良かったです。

Wonderful time!! Beautiful view of Waikiki and sunset. Also a whale sighting.
It was unfortunate that we encountered wind and rain during the rainy season.
First, everyone freely brought pineapple banana cake, coffee, and tea from the front of the first floor and enjoyed them at their seats. The cinnamon-flavored pineapple banana cake was very delicious.
After that, we listened to an explanation about whales using a translation app on our phones. We were then allowed to move freely up to the fourth floor of the ship, so we carefully made our way to the top observation deck and enjoyed the view.
Fortunately, the rain wasn't too heavy, so we were able to enjoy the scenery of Honolulu. We could see Diamond Head and the cityscape from the sea side. It was particularly meaningful for me since I had hiked up Diamond Head the day before on the same optional tour with Veltra, which took about 30 minutes.
The waves were high, and although we couldn't see the whales, we were able to spot their spouts several times. We saw the spouts relatively close by, and all the passengers were excitedly pointing at them. If the weather had been better, we might have seen even more.
The shuttle service was only available in the morning, allowing us to spend the afternoon leisurely, which was nice.
雨季の風と雨の日に当たってしまったのが残念でした。
まずは各自、自由に一階前方にあるパイナップルバナナケーキやコーヒー、紅茶を持って来て、座席で頂きました。シナモンの効いたパイナップルバナナケーキはとても美味しかったです。
そのあとクジラについての説明を携帯の翻訳アプリを使って聞きました。その後は船の４階まで自由に移動してよいとのことだったので、船の揺れに気をつけながら最上の展望階に上がり、眺めていました。
ただ雨は大半は大丈夫だったので、ホノルルの風景は楽しめました。ダイヤモンドヘッドや街並が海から側から眺められます。ダイヤモンドヘッドは前日同じベルトラさんのオプショナルツアーで、３０分かけて登った後だったので感慨深いものがありました。
波が高く、クジラは姿は確認出来なかったのですが、潮吹きを何度か見られました。割と近くで何度か潮吹きが見られたので、乗船客の皆んなが指を差して盛り上がっていました。天候に恵まれれば更に良く見えたかもしれません。
送迎付きは午前中だけで体験できるので、午後も有効にゆったり過ごせるので楽でした。
If you are prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to have some motion sickness medication.
船酔いする方は酔いどめがあった方が良いかもしれません。

The staff who spoke Japanese were very kind and helpful. Not all of the slides are operational, but I think you can still enjoy some of them. If you're coming by car, please be aware that the parking fee is cash only.
日本語が話せるスタッフの方がとても親切で助かりました。スライダー系は全てが稼働しているわけではありませんが、一部でも楽しめるかと思います。
車で来る方は駐車料金が現金払いですので気をつけてください。

I was able to see the honu (sea turtle). It's recommended to go when you have enough stamina, as you'll be snorkeling for a long time. I felt cold and got a bit seasick along the way, but thanks to the instructors, I was able to participate in a fun atmosphere.
ホヌが見れました。長い時間シュノーケリングをする為、体力がある時がお勧めです。途中で寒く感じ波酔いをしましたが、先生方のお陰で楽しい雰囲気で参加出来ました。

This was my first luau and I really didn't know what to expect. I was greatly impressed with the quality of the program, the enthusiasm of the performers and the outstanding cuisine we enjoyed for the meal. The evening with the Toa Luau group was an unforgettable highlight to our visit to Hawaii. In addition to the luau, we had the opportunity to hike to the waterfall while enjoying the beauty of the botanical garden. As I said, the whole experience was unforgettable.

Great service,on time pickup. Navigated transportation well. The guides shined with extras such as wetsuits for hire and even prescription mask. In the water they knew where to find the fish and the easiest routes through the reef. Best snorkel tour for beginners. Lots of fun even for experienced snorkelers.
Thanks guys! Glad you enjoyed. Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko
The scenery was amazing! The UTV ride so fun. Only suggestion is to slow it down just a little so the driver can enjoy the view more. Driver had to focus on driving too much
I noticed the spouting from a distance and was able to see the back and tail fin as well! I happened to be in a spot where I could see it, but there were people on the same shuttle bus who said they missed it, so I wish there were more real-time broadcasts in Japanese.
遠くで潮吹きに気づき、背中と尾ヒレもなんとか見えました！！
たまたま見れる場所にいたので気づきましたが、同じ送迎バスの中で見れなかったと言っていた人がいたので日本語リアル放送がもっとあればいいなと思いました。
There were places on the same ship where you could and couldn't see, so it might be a good idea to pay attention to where people are gathering and where cheers are coming from. I was standing on the s
同じ船内でも見れる見れない場所があったので人が集まっている場所、歓声が上がる場所に注意したほうがいいかもです。

I participated in a tour that ended in the morning. The weather wasn't very good, and it was a bit chilly, but I didn't feel as cold as I thought I would when I got into the water. During snorkeling, there were many colorful fish, and I encountered a turtle a couple of times. Additionally, there was a pod of dolphins a little further out, making it a satisfying tour in a short amount of time. Next time I come to Hawaii, I want to recommend it to my friends and join them.
午前中で終了するツアーでしたので参加してみました。余り良い天候ではなく、少し肌寒い気温でしたが海に入ると思ったより寒く感じませんでした。シュノーケリングでは様々な色の魚がたくさんいて、カメさんにも２度程遭遇デキました。更に少し先の方にはイルカの群れがいてたりと短時間で色々と満足デキたツアーでした。次回、ハワイに来た時には友人達に勧めて一緒に参加したいです。
It's a short time in the ocean, but you'll be swimming with fins. Since the kicking motion is something you're not used to, it can be quite tiring, so it's a good workout! (laughs)
短時間の海中ですがフィンを使用しての回遊。普段慣れないキック動作ですので結構疲れると思いますので良いトレーニングになりますよ（笑）

Although it was the rainy season, there was a break in the weather before we set off, so we left our jackets in the car and started out in short sleeves. However, as we headed towards the mountains, a cold drizzle began to fall. At first, we enjoyed the bumps of the buggy and splashing through puddles, but since there was no front window, rain poured in while driving, soaking our seats and leaving us completely drenched. By the end, it was too cold and quite uncomfortable.
The instructor was humorous and kind, taking photos for us. However, the instructor was dressed warmly in a raincoat and long sleeves and pants, so I thought it would have been nice if they had offered to lend us raincoats at least.
The advertisement featured a photo of passing through the Jurassic World gate, which my husband seemed to be looking forward to, but we only stopped at about three points, and we passed by what seemed to be the gate without stopping. My husband, a huge Jurassic Park fan, was a bit disappointed.
I think it's best to participate in this activity with the mindset of enjoying the magnificent mountains and nature in a buggy.
雨季であはりますが出発前は晴れ間があったのでジャケットなどは車に置いて半袖で出発。しかし山の方へ進むと霧雨のような冷たい雨が降り始めました。初めはバギーの揺れや水たまりをバシャバシャと走り楽しんでいましたが、フロントの窓がないので運転中雨が降りこんで席も濡れてしまい全身びしょ濡れになりました。最後の方は寒すぎて辛かったです。
インストラクターさんはユーモアがあり写真を撮ってくれたりと親切でした。しかし、インストラクターさんだけレインコートと長袖長ズボンで暖かそうな装いだったので、せめてレインコートの貸し出しなどの声かけがあるといいなと思いました。
広告にはジュラシックワールドのゲートをくぐる写真があったので主人はそれを期待していたようでしたが、ストップポイントは3つほどでゲートと思われるところも素通り。ジュラシックパーク大ファンの主人は少しがっかりしていました。
バギーで壮大な山々と自然を楽しむアクティビティと思って参加するといいと思います。
The scenery is wonderful, but I strongly recommend bringing a raincoat and a change of clothes on days when rain is expected.
景色は素晴らしいですが、雨が降ると思われる日はレインコートや着替え持参を強くお勧めします。

Absolutely loved this activity!!! Our tour guides Vea, Everette, and Emely were amazing and made our tour so much fun! Definitely a must when in Hawai’i!
Go through the yellow gates!!!!!
We booked the Kaneohe sandbar standard package as we had our 2 year old kid travelling with us. We got to do a bit of everything swim, snorkel, kayak and paddleboard. My son enjoyed his first kayak ride. There is a good deck once u reach the sandbar where we can relax in between activities. The crew were friendly and hospitalable. We enjoyed the music onboard. I would definitely recommend the Kaneohe sandbar experience to anyone visiting Oahu !!!!
Please check the weather and tide timings before you book.

The weather was a bit bad, with many clouds, but Diamond Head looked very beautiful. Also, it was a great experience to see the rainbow at such a beautiful moment! The explanations and reception were provided in Japanese and simple English.
少し天気が悪く、雲は多かったですがダイヤモンドヘッドがとても綺麗に見えました。

I was scared of seasickness, so I took some anti-nausea medication. I think it's reassuring for those who are anxious to take it.
船酔いが怖かったので酔い止め服用しました。不安な方は飲んだ方が安心だと思います。

At the pickup location at Twin Fin, several buses were parked, and there was no clear guidance on which bus to take, making it difficult to know where to go. Driving the buggy myself was a lot of fun, and I felt like a child again as I raced around the magnificent scenery. The weather was great and refreshing. Next time, I plan to try horseback riding.
ピックアップ場所のツインフィンには数台のバスが止まっていて特に案内があるわけでもなくどのバスに乗ればいいのかわかりずらかったです
バギーは自分で運転し壮大な景色を走り回り童心に戻るくらい楽しかったです
お天気も良く爽快でした

5/5 stars! Celebrated my husband's birthday at Dolphin Quest Oahu and we had an absolute blast! Despite the windy weather, our whole family created unforgettable memories together!
Don't drink the water while swimming with the dolphin. My son says it tastes bad. :)
We had a great experience parasailing. It was definitely a highlight of our trip. The crew was friendly, experienced, and we felt safe and well taken care of. Our group consisted of 2 adults and 4 teens (15 & 17 y/o). We were combined with one other family of 5.
We opted for the 800 ft line since it was our first time. But in hindsight, go for the longest line.
Our driver was wonderful and funny. I appreciate that he called us to tell us he had arrived at the pick-up spot. We didn’t see the van pull up and he was parked behind us. The hike is demanding especially in the rain. It was quite slippery on the way down. We had already purchased ponchos, but our driver had some for sale. We were able to complete the hike easily within the timeframe, and had time to stop in the gift shop. Just be aware of the weather and plan accordingly. Good shoes are a must!
The activities here were truly amazing. I will definitely repeat them the next time I go to Hawaii! I did a buggy ride in the morning and a zip line in the afternoon, and since each activity lasted a long time, I was able to enjoy them thoroughly. The views I saw were all fantastic.
ここのアクティビティは本当に最高でした。次回ハワイに行ったらリピート間違いなし！！午前にバギー午後にジップラインをしたのですが、１つのアクティビティの時間が長いので、じっくり楽しめました。見た景色はどれも最高です。

The view from Waikiki to Diamond Head was refreshing! I took off into the sky without even having time to feel scared, so I had no fear at all. The location was easy to find, so I would love to experience it again!

It was fun that the captain and crew talked to us. We searched for whales since they said we could see them, but we couldn't find any that day. The scenery was really beautiful and enjoyable! I have a fear of heights, so I was nervous and held onto the reins the whole time, which made my arms sore when I got off, but it became a great memory. I tend to get motion sickness, so I took some medicine, but I was totally fine.
キャプテンとクルーの人達が話しかけてくれたりして楽しかったです。
クジラ見えるよーって探したけれど、この日は見つけられなかった。
景色が本当に綺麗で楽しかった!!

Really enjoyed this 2 hour activity, we had the chance to visit many movie locations and took pictures with the family. The tour guides were very helpful and explained the history of the Kualoa Ranch.
This is my second time parasailing. The thrill of rising while feeling the Hawaiian breeze is exhilarating. The view of Waikiki from above is amazing. The timing was just perfect too!
