Oahu
I was supposed to arrive at the venue with plenty of time to spare and pick up my tickets, but I ended up waiting an incredibly long time for the rental car process. Instead of arriving at 10:30, I got there at 11:30. I thought for sure I wouldn't be able to pick up my tickets anymore, but when I explained my situation in my questionable English at the group ticket counter on the right side, they had my tickets waiting for me! I was really happy about that. If anyone else finds themselves in a similar situation, please drive safely and don't worry! Thank you, VELTRA, for your assistance.
余裕をもって現地に到着し、チケットを受け取るはずが、レンタカーの手続きにとんでもなく待たされ、10:30現地のところ、11:30に到着。
きっともうチケットを受け取ることはできない・・・と思いましたが、むかって右側の団体用?入場券発券カウンターで、あやしい英語力でなんと事情を説明すると、チケットを預かっていて
くれました!! 本当に嬉しかったです。もし、これから利用なさる方で、私共のような状況になってしまっても、安心して安全運転でむかってくださいね!
VELTRA様、ご対応ありがとうございました。
Aloha Betty, thank you for your comment. For those who arranged only tickets, there is a Will Call window on the right side facing the main entrance. We have the tickets prepared for customers who have arranged their tickets there, so please don't worry and drive safely. We look forward to your next visit.
Aloha ベティさん、 コメントありがとうございました。 入場券だけを手配なさった方は正面玄関向かって右側にWill callの窓口がございます。そちらでは、入場券を手配されたお客様のチケットをご用意していますので、心配しないで、安全運転でお越し下さい。又のお越しをお待ち申し上げます。
I participated with my 4-year-old son a year and a half ago. He was really looking forward to touching the dolphins, but he was very nervous since he was the first one. In the end, he couldn't kiss the dolphin, but overall it was an enjoyable tour. I hope to participate again when my still-small daughter grows up.
1年半前に4歳の息子と2人で参加しました。
イルカを触れるのをとても楽しみにしていた息子でしたが、
トップバッターだったためか大緊張。
結局イルカにキスはできなかった息子でしたが、
全体的には楽しめたツアーでした。
またまだ小さい娘が大きくなったら参加したいと思っています。
We celebrated a 25 th anniversary, and had a fantastic time. The crew was friendly and fun.
Great family activity for all ages. The naturalist on the boat was very nice and obviously loves his job. He was very knowledgeable and was very funny as well. Even though it was almost the end of the season 4/1 we did see several whales. The boat was very smooth sailing and the lunch buffet was nice. Nice way to start out a vacation after a long day of travel.
Amazing day! We learned so much!! Everything was very well organized from start to end. Our guide, Guy, was funny and very informative about the island and the sites we were visiting. I would highly recommend this trip to everyone except perhaps those with very small children or people needing wheelchair assistance. It can be done but the pace is pretty fast. The Mighty Mo was our favorite part.
This was amazing. My whole family including my 15 year old says it was the best thing we did in Hawaii. Guides were great and loved what they do. We even saw whales on the way home and they tried to get us close to them for pictures. Fabulous time!
Hawaii Parasailing - Heights: 45m / 90m / 120m / 150m - Hilton Waikiki <with pick-up> by Hawaiian Parasail / 90 meters
I have a tendency to get seasick easily, so I was very worried about getting seasick. I was even considering canceling up until the day before.
On the day of the activity, I took motion sickness medication, made sure not to eat too much for breakfast, and was careful to be well-rested. Thankfully, I didn't feel sick at all. There were two other Japanese couples besides us, and we had a fun and refreshing time throughout. The view from the sea was amazing, and I was moved to think, "Ah, I'm in Hawaii!" Thank you very much.
ハワイ パラセイリング 高さ45m/90m/120m/150m ヒルトンワイキキ <送迎付き> byハワイアン・パラセイル / 高さ90メートル
とても酔い易い体質なので船酔いをとてもとても心配してました。
前日までキャンセルしようかと考えていたくらいです。
当日は酔い止めを飲んで朝ごはんも食べすぎず、寝不足でもないように気を付けて体調を万全にしてのぞみました。それがよかったのか、酔うこともなく、私たち以外は日本人の2カップルでしたが、
終始楽しく爽快に過ごせました。海上からの眺めはとても良く、あ~ハワイにいるんだな^^と感動でした。ありがとうございました。
We chose this place because we stayed at Ilikai. It was nice that everyone else was foreign couples or families. We requested a photo shoot for $30. In the end, they did the usual splash into the sea (laughs), and it was fun.
イリカイ滞在だったのでこちらにしました。
私達以外皆さん外人のカップルやファミリーだったので良かったです。30ドルで写真撮影してくれるとゆーことで御願いしました。
最後お決まりの海にバシャンと落としてくれたし( 笑 )楽しかったです。
This is a wonderful dinner cruise! From the onset, the staff and crew catered to our every need. Our server, Kahleo (sp?) was a doll! We chose the tenderloin and all-you-can-eat crab meal and have to say, it was excellent! The tenderloin was cooked perfectly and the crab was hot and plentiful! Our window seat table was awesome. I'm amazed how the crew can serve so many people a hot, wonderful meal! Fantastic cruise up to Diamond Head ending with a beautiful fireworks display. A ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ evening! Would definitely recommend to anyone considering a dinner cruise!
At the secret beach in the morning, we had unlimited experiences with stand-up paddleboarding and canoeing, and we had a great time playing. Toward the end, we were taken a bit offshore on a board and were thrilled to see several swimming sea turtles up close. During the afternoon movie location tour, the Japanese bus guide entertained us with fun stories, and we enjoyed the beautiful views of the mountains and the sea. I'm really glad I made a reservation! 😊
午前中のシークレットビーチではサップやカヌーが体験し放題で、夢中になって遊びました。終盤にボードで少し沖に連れて行ってもらい、泳ぐウミガメを何匹も間近に見れて感動しました。午後の映画ロケ地ツアーでは日本語のバスガイドさんが楽しいお話しで盛り上げてくれて、山と海の景色が堪能できました。予約して本当によかったです(^^)
I participated in a plan that included lunch. At the sandbar, the guide started a volleyball game, so I was able to have fun with others. It was cold after getting out of the water from snorkeling, so it was a good decision to bring a change of clothes. Those who got on the bus in their swimsuits looked quite cold. On the boat, they also served warm drinks.
ランチ付きプランに参加しました。サンドバーではガイドの方がバレーを始めてくれたので、他の方とも楽しく過ごせました。シュノーケルは海から上がってからが寒かったので、着替えを持って行って正解でした。水着のままバスに乗られていた方たちはかなり寒そうでした。船では温かい飲み物も出してくれました。
I participated in a trip with my mother. The weather was wonderful that day, and it was a very peaceful aerial walk. Even I, who have a fear of heights, and my mother, who initially said it looked scary, were able to enjoy it. Since I had requested photos in advance, they took many pictures that clearly showed how much fun we had. This is an option that can be enjoyed even by first-timers.
母と2人旅で参加しました。この日はお天気にも恵まれ、とても穏やかな空中散歩でした。高所恐怖症の私も、最初は怖そうと言っていた母も楽しめました。事前に写真のお願いをしていたので、楽しかったという事が一目で分かる写真をたくさん撮って下さいました。初めてでも充分楽しめるオプションです。
Knowledgable and friendly Guide. He had it well organized.
We got to see a lot more of the city, picking up and dropping guests from various hotels.
Great snorkeling tour with Dan and Chieko. The four of us were snorkeling novices and senior citizens and they were extremely patient and hands on. We saw some beautiful fish and reef and had a great time.
Hi guys, everyone did great today. Make sure you scrub the new mask with tooth paste. Hope to see you again.
Dan and Chieko
Great crew a very fun time for my wife and son and myself. Food was good desserts were good.
Hilight of the cruise was the sighting of a whale.
The M C was very friendly and our waiter Max could not have been more helpful.
Snorkeling is definitely better at the front! If you want to see the clear, beautiful sea, you absolutely have to go at the front because the back is murky!
シュノーケリングは先発が絶対とく‼︎
後方は水が濁ってしまってるから澄んだ綺麗な海をみたいなら絶対先発‼︎‼︎
The bus on the way there was so cold that I was freezing (~_~;) It made my stomach hurt... The return trip was a bit better, but the ride there was really too cold and it was terrible.
行きのバスの中が寒くて凍えてた(~_~;)お腹痛くなるやつ…帰りはまだマシやったけど行きは本当に寒すぎてやばかった
The weather wasn't very good in the morning... it was cold (~_~;) But I was glad I could see a beautiful rainbow‼︎ A wrap is definitely a must-have.
朝から天気があまり良くなかったから…寒かった(~_~;)でも、虹も綺麗にみれたからよかった‼︎やっぱり羽織るものは必需品です。
I was worried I wouldn't be able to see them, but I saw sea turtles! They swam close by for a long time, so I was really satisfied with how many I got to see.
見れるか不安やったけど、海ガメ見れたよー‼︎
ずっと近くに泳いでたからたくさん見ること出来て満足やった。
Smoking on the sea is the best! (laughs)
Huh? Is it okay to smoke here? (laughs) But since it was allowed, I did it proudly! (≧∇≦)
海の上でのタバコサイコー(笑)
え?ここは吸っていーの?(笑)と思いながら…
でもが出たので堂々と(≧∇≦)
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
Regarding smoking, we would like to explain the following four points in advance:
1. Smoking is limited to the back of the boat.
2. Please use the cup provided as an ashtray.
3. Be sure to place ash and cigarettes in the cup.
4. Please receive an explanation from the Japanese guide in advance.
Thank you for your consideration in ensuring that other guests are not inconvenienced during your participation.

I returned wearing my swimsuit with a towel draped over me, but I got really cold on the bus. There are no lockers or changing rooms, so it's better to bring extra towels. They were disposing of leftover snacks during the light meal. I wish they had waited until the participants got off. The water level was about knee-deep. It seems the sandbar is around October 10, so those who got to experience it are lucky. The staff were great at getting everyone excited, and there were no issues with their service. Swimming in a line while snorkeling with a large group is challenging, but I saw a lot of cute little fish!
帰りは水着のままタオルを羽織って帰りましたがバスの中で冷えきります。ロッカー、更衣室はありませんので、多目にタオル持っていった方が。 軽食中に余っていたものを処分していました。参加者がおりてからにしてほしかったです。 水位はひざ下位でした。砂洲は10/月位らしいので、当たった方は羨ましです。 スタッフさんは盛り上げてくれたり、対応は問題ありません。シュノーケリング縦に並んで大勢で泳ぐのは大変ですが小さな魚がたくさん見れて可愛かったですよ!!
The dolphins are very cute, and the interaction time went by in a flash. The staff in the pool only speak English, but there is an explanation provided in advance by a staff member who can speak Japanese, so there are no issues at all. I had a very enjoyable time.
You will have to wait quite a while until it's time to leave. The park is smaller than it looks on the map, so you can't spend too much time there. If the weather is bad, you might get cold, so I think it's essential to have a change of clothes or something to wear over your outfit.
You can purchase photos with the dolphins, but they might be a bit too expensive. It would be great if they were a little more reasonable.
イルカはとても可愛く、ふれあいの時間はあっというまでした。プール内のスタッフは英語のみですが事前に日本語が話せるスタッフから説明もありますし、全く問題ありません。とても楽しい時間が過ごせました。
帰りの時間までは結構待ちます。パーク内はマップで見てたより狭く、時間はあまり潰せません。天気が悪い日なら身体も冷えてしまうので着替えや羽織るものは必須だと思います。
イルカとの写真は購入できますが、高すぎるかな。もうすこしリーズナブルだとありがたいです。
"Russell" and the skipper were bona fide pros. Personable, efficient, experienced, providing safe and exciting fun for sailers and riders alike. I would do it again without hesitation.
The office staff was equally efficient. They managed to reschedule our long-standing reservations to a day earlier to avoid a forecast of a week of Trade Wind activity. It is no wonder that that Hawaiian Parasail at Waikiki is such a successful business. You gotta do it.
A great value !!
The seawater was up to my knees, but it was really fun! ♪ I was able to swim with a sea turtle while snorkeling too! ☆
海水はひざ下まででしたが、凄く楽しかったです♪
シュノーケリングの時もウミガメと一緒に泳ぐ事が出来ました☆
We participated in a parasailing tour as a family of four, and it was really great. Since we stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, we walked there. We arrived early, but it seemed like there was enough time even if we were cutting it close.
Our fellow participants included a three-generation Chinese American family, two women from Australia, a couple from the mainland U.S., and one local Hawaiian man, with no Japanese participants. The explanations were all in English, but there were no problems at all. The fellow participants and the guide were also very entertaining, which made it really enjoyable.
It was my first time parasailing, and I was a bit nervous, but since we ascended slowly, it wasn't scary at all, and I was able to enjoy a graceful tour above Hawaii. As mentioned in the reviews, there was a $20 bill at the boat's exit, which felt like a tip expectation, but none of the participants paid it, and the staff didn't seem to mind at all; the atmosphere was very cheerful.
家族四人でパラセーリングツアーに参加しましたが、とてもよかったです。
ホテルはヒルトンハワイアンビレッジでしたので徒歩で行きました。早めについたのですが、
時間はぎりぎりでも大丈夫なようでした。
同乗者は、中国系アメリカ人三世代、オーストラリアからの女性二人組、アメリカ本土からのカップルとハワイ現地の男性一人で日本人はいません。すべて英語での説明ですが、全然問題なく、また同乗者、ガイドの方も楽しませてくれて、本当によかったです。
パラセーリングは初めてで少し緊張しましたが、ゆっくりと上昇するので、全然怖くなく、優雅にハワイ上空の遊覧を楽しむことができませんでした。
口コミに書いてありましたが、船の出口$20紙幣のみ挟んであり、$20のチップを支払うような感じでしたが、同乗者は誰も払いませんでしたし、スタッフの方も全然関係なく、にこやかな雰囲気でした。
I experienced 150 meters.
It was canceled the day before due to strong winds, but...
When I actually experienced it, it was amazing.
I'm really glad I did it this time.
You can't understand this view unless you've experienced it; it's hard to explain.
You might think 150 meters is high, but...
I'm glad it was 150 meters.
They also take photos for you!
You can decide whether to buy them after seeing the pictures.
I'm glad I did it.
150メートルを体験してきました。
前日は強風の為中止になりましたが…
いざ体験するとサイコーでした。
今回体験して本当に良かったです。
この景色は体験した人でないとわかりませんね、説明出来ません。
150メートルと聞くと高いと思うかもしれませんが…
150メートルにして良かったです。
写真も撮ってくれますよ〜
買うか買わないかは写真を見てから決めれます。
やって良かったです。
Since it was a half-day course, I thought it might be a bit lacking, but I was fortunate to have kind lectures and even meet a sea turtle "Little Buddy," making it a very satisfying and exciting tour. The interactions with Mr. Dan during the transportation were enjoyable, and my nice partnership with Chieko-san also made me feel happy. Mahalo!!!
半日コースだったので少し物足りないかな?との思いで参加しましたが、親切なレクチャーとウミガメの”リトル・バディ”にも出会える幸運にも恵まれ、大満足・興奮のツアーでした。送迎中のダン先生とのやり取りも楽しく、ちえこさんとのナイスなパートナー関係にこちらも幸せな気分にさせて頂きました。マハロ~!!!
We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the Hanauma Bay snorkeling tour! On that day, our little buddy, who usually stays out in the ocean, came to play inside and swam with everyone, which was so much fun. I hope you were able to download the photos without any issues. Please come back and visit us again when you're in Hawaii. Also, at Blue Hawaii Divers, we offer experience diving at Hanauma Bay, so if you're interested, we highly recommend it. Thank you! Mahalo!!
ハナウマ湾シュノーケリングツアーを満喫していただけた様で、私達もとても嬉しいです!!あの日はいつもは沖の方にいるリトルバディがインサイドに遊びに来てくれていて、皆さんと一緒に泳いでくれてとても楽しかったですね。お写真も無事ダウンロードしていただけたかと思います。またハワイにお越しの際には皆さんで遊びに来てくださいね。それとブルーハワイダイバースではハナウマ湾での体験ダイビングも開催していますので、もし良かったらこちらもオススメです。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
My daughter and a friend decided to stay in Oahu over spring break instead of coming home. They had planned bus trips for Hanauma Bay as well as North Shore during the week. After having a horrible time with the bus schedules and waiting to get to their destinations, I decided to get them tickets for the shuttle. So glad I did! They had a really good time, hassle free of buses and hotel pick up and drop off was perfect for them. The trip to the bay made their spring break! So glad I found this site, and we will use them again when we visit her over Thanksgiving this year!
I was looking forward to whale watching! I was worried about whether I would actually see a whale, but I was able to see them properly. I saw a mother and calf whale.
After that, a few more showed up, but they were quite far away, just showing a bit of their bodies above the surface, and there wasn't the big splash I was hoping for. However, the scenery was wonderful, and I enjoyed the cruise, so I was very satisfied.
I want to see a whale make a big splash someday, so if I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii, I definitely want to participate again.
楽しみにしていたホエールウォッチング!クジラが実際に見られるか不安でしたがちゃんと見ることできました。
親子クジラ見えました。
その後も何頭か姿を見せてくれましたが、距離的には遠く水面から少し胴体を出すくらいで、期待していた胴体を水面にザッパーンとかはありませんでした。
ですが、景色も素晴らしかったしクルーズとしても楽しめたので大満足でした。
いつかザッパーンするクジラが見たいのでハワイに行く機会があったら是非また参加したいと思います。
Thank you very much for boarding the Star of Honolulu. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience. We look forward to welcoming you again.

I experienced parasailing for the first time, and it was so enjoyable that I highly recommend it! I wasn't scared at all, but one of the male participants in a couple was too scared to go, so the woman ended up going alone. I ended up riding with her instead of that man, and I got to experience it twice... I am very satisfied!
初めてパラセイリングを体験してみて、とっても気持ちよかったのでめちゃくちゃオススメです!私は全く怖くなかったですが、他の参加者のカップルの男性の方が怖がってやらないことになり、女性は一人でやることになってました。その男性の代わりに私が一緒にライドすることになり、2回も体験できて、、、私は大満足です!
