We participated in a tour for our honeymoon! Our impression is that we are very satisfied! The staff were friendly and we had a really fun time! The hamburgers we ate on the boat were exceptional! When I asked the staff to take pictures with my phone, they took many photos from various angles and poses, and we were able to keep a lot of beautiful pictures! It became an unforgettable memory for both of us! Thank you very much!
ハネムーンでツアーに参加させていただきました!感想はとても満足です(^^)/スタッフのみなさんもフランクでとても楽しい時間でした~!船の上で食べるハンバーガーは格別ですね♪♪

This time, we went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. Every time I've come to Hawaii, I've always visited Kailua Beach. Last time, I booked a different tour, but they didn't pick us up on time, and we had to wait for over 30 minutes (it might have been due to traffic), so I chose this tour! The pickup was right on time☆
Once we arrived at the beach, a Japanese staff member explained everything, so there was no need to worry. Bodyboards, snorkeling sets, and mats are available for free♪ We wanted to visit Kailua town and Lanikai Beach, so we rented a bicycle for $10! Having a bicycle made it convenient to go to Kailua town and Lanikai Beach (they provided a map and explained how to get there).
At the facility, there are showers (only water), changing rooms, and lockers with keys, so we could leave our belongings safely.
For lunch, we were given tickets to choose between pizza or a plate lunch! We chose pizza, and I was surprised that one slice was a quarter of a whole pizza! It was also very spicy and delicious! Drinks were included.
When we arrived at the beach, it was cloudy, but it cleared up quickly! The ocean was very beautiful! My husband was visiting Kailua for the first time and was very happy, snorkeling by himself the whole time! He said he saw colorful fish!
In town, there were many cute shops! I thought about going to the famous Boots & Kimo's, but there was a long line. A Japanese staff member recommended that instead of eating there, we should do takeout, so we opted for takeout. Since we had limited time, I think choosing takeout was the right decision! The pancakes were very delicious, and we were very satisfied☆
I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii!!
今回は新婚旅行でハワイに行きました。いままでハワイに来たときには必ずカイルアビーチに行っています。前回は別のツアーを予約し参加しましたが、時間どうりに迎えが来なく、30分以上待たされたことがあるため(交通状況などによるかも知れませんが)、こちらのツアー参加しました!お迎えは時間ぴったりに迎えにきてくれました☆
ビーチについてからは、日本人スタッフさんがすべて説明してくれるので心配無用です。ボディボード、シュノーケルセット、ゴザが無料で借りれます♪私たちはカイルアの町やラニカイビーチにも行きたかったので、1台$10で自転車を借りました!自転車があると、カイルアの町や、ラニカイビーチ(地図をくれて、行き方などもすべて教えてくれます)などに行くのにも便利でした!また施設内には、シャワー(水のみ)、更衣室、鍵付きのロッカーがあり、荷物なども安心して置いていけます。
お昼はチケットを渡され、ピザかプレートランチを選ぶことができます!私たちはピザにしましたが、1ピースが1ホールの1/4の大きさでびっくり!そして、とってもスパイシーでおいしかったです!ドリンクもついてきます。
ビーチ到着時は曇っていましたが、すぐに晴れました!海もとってもきれいです!旦那さんは初めてのカイルアでしたが、とっても喜んでいて1人でひたすらシュノーケルをしていました!笑 カラフルな魚も見れたとのことでした!
町では、かわいいお店がたくさんありました!またあの有名なブーツ&キモズに行こうと思いましたが、長蛇の列。日本スタッフさんにお店で食べるのではなく、テイクアウトにするのをおすすめされたので、テイクアウトにしました。時間が限られていたので、テイクアウトにして間違いなかったとおもいます!パンケーキはとっても美味しかったので大満足です☆
またハワイに行くときには、是非参加したいと思います!!

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon for the first time! On the first day, we shopped in downtown Hawaii, and on the morning of the second day, we had a snorkeling experience at Kailua Beach.
The weather was great! The sea was so beautiful! While beaches like Honolulu Beach are crowded, the natural beaches have a different charm. In mid-February, it's nice to spend time at the beach, but the water is a bit cold! (It's not impossible to go in.)
We enjoyed some bodyboarding, but since it was a windy day, we got out of the water early and had an early lunch. Since lunch was included, we had pizza. One slice of American-sized pizza each! It was very delicious, and we were full.
After that, we still had some time before our return, so we rented bicycles and headed towards Kailua town. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes by bike. (Bicycles are an additional charge for this plan.)
There are many surf-style select shops, and plenty of stores with Hawaiian clothing and accessories. There are also shopping malls and large supermarkets, and the layout is completely different from Japan, making it fun just to walk around. Although there was a sudden rain while shopping, it usually stops quickly in Hawaii, and it cleared up while we were shopping.
On the way there and back, we enjoyed the views of Hawaiian homes and nature from the bike, making it a great experience!
今回初めて新婚旅行でハワイに行ってきました!1日目はハワイの中心街で買い物をし、2日目の朝からカイルアビーチでのシュノーケリング体験へ。
天気は良好❗海がとってもキレイー✨✨✨✨ホノルルビーチなど人が多いビーチでも充分キレイですが、やはり自然の中のビーチは一味ちがいます☺☀☀2月中旬でビーチで過ごすにはいいのですが、海に入るのは少し寒いです!(入れなくはないです)
少しボディボードを楽しんで、風も強い日だったので早めに海を上がり、早めのお昼。
選べるlunch付なので私たちはピザを食べました。アメリカンサイズのピザを1ピースずつ!とってもおいしく、お腹いっぱいになりました
その後は帰りの時間までまだ時間があったので、自転車を借りてカイルアの街のほうへヽ( ̄▽ ̄)ノ自転車で約10分~15分ぐらいでいけます。(このプランだと自転車は別料金)
サーフ系のセレクトショップが多く、ハワイらしい服や小物のお店が多くありますショッピングモールや大きいスーパーもあり、日本とか作りが全然違うので、入るだけで楽しいショッピング中、急な雨もありましたが、ハワイの雨は、だいたいすぐ止むので買い物している間に上がっていました
行き帰りはハワイの民家や自然を通るので自転車からの眺めも楽しみながら行けて、いい体験でした♥\(^^)/

I made a reservation for the night of my arrival on Oahu! We had dinner at a different restaurant beforehand. The show was so lively, in a way that you don't see in Japan, and I had a great time!
Since it's located in the center of Waikiki, I was able to go shopping while still in a festive mood. At the end of the show, we could take photos, and I took one with Michael and Celine!
One disappointing thing was that since it was close to the hotel, I opted for no transportation, but the explanation for the voucher was unclear, and I had trouble purchasing the tickets. It said "meet on-site," so I waited in front of the ticket counter, but when the time came, I ended up buying them myself. There were many Japanese people who seemed to be guides, but there was no announcement or anything. I thought there would be someone there since it said to gather, but that wasn't the case. It might be an issue of comprehension, but I wish it had been explained more clearly.
I arrived early and waited, but ended up in the back row, so I feel like there's no point in reserving through Veltra next time. The audience was about two-thirds full.
In response to the above comments, I will give the lowest rating due to the standard response. The show itself is wonderful, so I recommend it to those who are unsure!
オアフ島到着日の夜に予約!食事は別のレストランで食べてから。ショーは日本にはないかんじの盛り上がり方で、とっても楽しかったです!
ワイキキの中心部にあるため盛り上がった気分のままショッピングに行けます。ショーの最後には写真撮影もでき、マイコーとセリーヌと撮りました!
ひとつ残念だったのは、ホテルから近かったため送迎なしにしたところ、バウチャーの説明が分かりづらくチケット購入に手間取りました。
[現地集合]とあり窓口前でずっと待っていましたが時間になってしまい、自分で買いました。ガイドらしき日本人もたくさんいましたが呼びかけも何もありませんでした。集合というからには誰かいるものだと思ったのですが違ったのですね。読解力の問題かもしれませんがもっと分かりやすく記載して頂きたかったです。
せっかく早く着いて待っていたのに結局後ろの席になったため、次はベルトラで予約する意味はないかなというかんじです。客入りは3分の2くらいでした。
以上のコメントに対し、定型文での返答の為、最低評価にさせて頂きます。
ショー自体は素晴らしいものですので迷ってる方にはオススメですよ。

I was looking forward to the sandbar, but the weather was cloudy and there was strong wind, making the sea very cold. It would be a good idea to bring extra beach towels for when you come out of the water. There were many participants, and we could choose between a boat with only Japanese people or a mixed boat with foreigners! We chose to ride with the foreigners, so we were able to enjoy English conversation with the family sitting next to us. It was great that we could also see the sea turtles.
楽しみにしていたサンドバーですが、天候は曇りで強風の為海は非常に寒かったです。
海から上がってきた時のバスタオルなども多めに用意しておいた方が良さそうです。

I highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves the ocean! It was such a wonderful experience! Since it was a tour from morning until early afternoon, I thought it would be a meaningful way to spend the day, so I decided to join this tour.
After arriving, we received a brief explanation from the staff, and then we had the freedom to use our time for snorkeling and sightseeing as we pleased.
First, the ocean. It's just a short walk away, but as expected from the number one beach in the United States, it was incredibly beautiful—I couldn't help but shout with excitement! We were able to rent snorkeling gear and boogie boards for free, so we played for about an hour, enjoyed sunbathing, and took photos... it went by in a flash!
For lunch, we received a voucher to choose between a BBQ lunch or pizza. I chose the recommended spinach and garlic pizza, while my husband opted for the BBQ lunch, and we enjoyed our meal in the shade by the beach. It was delicious, and the view was stunning—it was the best! The pizza was quite large, but my husband said the BBQ lunch was not enough (laughs). If you prefer a hearty meal, I recommend the pizza.
After leisurely eating and playing in the ocean for a bit, time flew by, and we ended the tour with some shopping nearby. Just spending time by the ocean made us very satisfied! If you're interested in exploring the town of Kailua, I recommend planning various activities!
Next time, I hope to explore the town of Kailua beyond just the beach! It was truly great!
海が好きな人にはオススメです!とっても素敵なツアーでした!!
朝から昼過ぎまでのツアーなので、1日有意義に過ごせるなと思い、このツアーに参加ささていただきました。
到着後スタッフから簡単な説明を受けて、シュノーケルや観光などそれぞれ自分たちで自由に時間を使えます。
まずは海。歩いてすぐの場所ですが、さすが全米ナンバーワンに選ばれた海!!とぉっても綺麗で思わず叫んでしまいました!!
シュノーケルやボギーボードを無料でレンタルできたので、1時間くらい遊んで日光浴を楽しんで、写真を撮って…あっという間でした!!
ランチはBBQランチかピザを選択できる券を予めもらうんですが、私はおすすめのほうれん草とガーリックのピザ、主人はBBQランチを選択し、海辺の木陰で食べました。
美味しいし、景色も綺麗で最高でした!
ピザはとっても大きいのですが、BBQランチは主人曰く足りないと(笑)ボリューム重視の方はピザをおすすめします。
のんびり食べて、少し海で遊んでいたらすぐ時間になってしまったので近くで買い物をしてツアー終了になりましたが、海でのんびり過ごしただけでも私たちはとても満足でした!
カイルアの街も散策したい!という方は、計画を色々立てて行かれることをおすすめします!
次はビーチ以外、カイルアの街を散策できたらなぁと思います!本当に良かったです!

I applied for the sandbar tour knowing that the tide conditions weren't great. The weather was bad, so it was just a shallow area. I could only see the sea turtles' heads popping up for air from a distance, and I couldn't tell if they were turtles or something else. The snorkeling was also disappointing due to the cloudy sky, which affected visibility. Since time was limited, I couldn't enjoy it. This time, there were two boats, but because there were many Japanese participants, we were forced to separate into groups of Japanese and others, which created a situation where only Japanese people were present, and that was unfortunate.
サンドバーは、潮目もあまり良くないのは承知で申し込みました。
天気が悪かったので、ただの浅瀬でした。
ウミガメは、遠くから、息継ぎで頭が出るのが見える程度。カメなのか何なのか分かりませんでした。
シュノーケリングも、曇り空だったので、透明度も悪くイマイチ。時間も限られていたので、楽しめませんでした。
今回、ボート2艘でしたが、日本人参加者が多かったこともあり、強制的に、日本人とその他の国で分けられ、日本人しかいない状況を作られたのも残念でした。

I went in February, but it seemed that the air conditioning on the bus from the meeting point to the port couldn't be turned off, so it was really cold. A jacket is a must!! It's definitely better to use the restroom before you go.
We departed from the port by boat. First up was turtle watching! There were more than I expected. I think it was about 15 minutes, and we saw around 10 turtles!
Then we arrived at the sandbar. It was beautiful, as expected!! Everyone got off to the beach and took photos freely. The staff were great and took lots of pictures for us. Since it was cold in February, a rash guard or similar jacket is necessary!
Next was snorkeling. I thought I wouldn't like using a snorkel set that others had used, but it was clean as it had been soaked in chlorinated water! After listening to the staff's explanation, we all set off together. There were a lot of participants, so you had to be careful not to bump into the person in front of you. If you moved slowly, you might bump into the person behind you. But we saw beautiful fish! After one round, snorkeling was over.
When we returned to the boat, each person was rinsed with fresh water to easily wash off the saltwater. Then sandwiches and juice were served. They were quite tasty.
And then we got back on the cold bus to return, and that was the end!
Overall, it was a satisfying experience.
2月に行きましたが、集合場所から港までのバスの冷房が止められないらしく、とっても寒かったです。上着は必須です!!行く前には絶対にトイレに行っておいた方が良いです。
港から船で出発。まずはウミガメウォッチング!思った以上にいます。15分程度だったと思いますが、10匹くらいは見れました!
そして、サンドバーに到着。やっぱりきれい!!それぞれ砂浜に降りて、自由に写真を撮ったり。良いスタッフさんでバシバシ写真撮ってくれます。2月だと寒いので、ラッシュガードなどの上着が必要です!
次にシュノーケリング。人が使ったシュノーケルセットは嫌だと思っていましたが、塩素の入った水に漬けられていてきれいでした!スタッフさんの説明を聞いて、みんなで出発。参加者がたくさんいて、気をつけないと前の人にぶつかる。とろとろしてると後ろの人にぶつかる。でも、きれいな魚見れましたよ!1往復したらシュノーケリング終了。
船に戻ると、一人ひとり真水を頭からかけてくれて塩水を簡単にすすげます。それからサンドイッチとジュースが出されます。普通においしかったです。
で、また寒いバスに乗って帰って終了!
とにかく、満足いくものでした。

I had some concerns about the explanation (laughs), but it turned out to be a great experience. There was water and snacks provided on the boat, and while waiting, we could feed the fish and snorkel freely, making the waiting time enjoyable. I was also very happy to encounter a sea turtle. I heard that some people get seasick while waiting, so I took motion sickness medication with me. It was a bit cold while waiting, so I think having something to wear would be a good idea. The underwater scenery was even more beautiful than I had imagined, with plenty of fish, and I really had a great time. I would love to participate again!

I've been to Hawaii nearly 20 times, but it was my first time coming in January, so it was my first whale watching experience! Although it said "pickup available," adding the pickup increased the price, so I took The Bus. Ideally, I should have gotten off at the corner of Nimitz Highway on routes 19 or 20, but since those buses were taking a while to arrive, I ended up taking an E bus and got off at the corner of Alakahi Road. At that point, I was about 10 minutes late for the 8:00 AM meeting time, and in a panic, I walked another 10 minutes to arrive, only to find that many people were still checking in (the boat's departure time was 8:45 AM).
Once the boat departed, I had breakfast, and as soon as I went out on deck, we spotted a whale! It showed its belly and splashed down dramatically! After that, we saw two more whales that stayed close to us, and on our way back, we spotted another whale on the Waikiki Beach side. The weather was nice, the sea was calm, and most importantly, I was very satisfied to see the whales.
20回近く来たハワイだが、1月に来たのは初めてだったので、初のホエールウォッチング!
「<送迎あり>」と書いてあるけれども送迎をつけると料金が増すので、The Busで行き、本当は19番20番でニミッツハイウェイの角で降りればよいのだが、19番20番がなかなか来ないので、来たEかなんかに乗ってしまい、アラカイロードの角で下車。その時点で集合時刻とされた8時を10分ぐらい過ぎていたが、大焦りでさらに10分ほど歩いて到着してみると、まだたくさんの人が受付をしているところだった。(船の出航時刻は8時45分。)
船が出発し、朝ごはんを食べ、甲板に出るとすぐにクジラ発見!おなかを見せてダイナミックにバッサーン!その後も別な2頭のクジラがつかず離れずいて、折り返して戻る途中にもワイキキビーチ側にまた別なクジラを発見。天気も良く海は凪いで、なによりクジラが見られたので大満足。

I had a wonderful experience! (Experience on January 26, 2016, Japan time)
First, I was picked up by a large, open bus right in front of the hotel. Since there weren't many people on board, it felt like a private trolley, which was fun. Actually, I mistakenly booked for the next day, but when I called on that day, they kindly changed it for me, which was great.
When we arrived at the location, we showed our tickets at the counter and were taken to the boat by two young foreign men (from Hawaii?). I participated with a friend, and in addition to us, there were five Koreans, two Americans, and a family of three from Europe on board.
It seemed that up to three people could ride the parasail. The two staff members operating it were quite playful and tried to drop us into the sea at the start and end of the parasailing, which was also fun. However, if someone didn't want to get wet, they would make sure not to drop them if informed. While parasailing, we could enjoy a panoramic view of the Hawaiian scenery while feeling the sea breeze, which was very pleasant. I didn't feel scared at all; it was very comfortable and felt like a moment. We could see Diamond Head beautifully as well.
I participated during the day, but I felt that the sunset would also be beautiful in the evening.
I would definitely love to participate again!
とても素敵な体験ができました!(日本時間で、2016年1月26日体験)
まず、ホテルの前まで大きい開放的なバスでお迎えに来ていただきました。あまり乗っている人たちがいなかったため、貸切トロリーのようで、楽しかったです。
実は、日程を勘違いしおり、次の日に予約をしてしまったのですが、その日に電話をしたら、快くその日に代えて頂き、とても良かったです。
そして、現地に着くと、チケットをカウンターに見せ、2人の若い男の外国人(ハワイ出身?)に連れられ、船に乗りました。
私は友人と2人で参加だったのですが、その他に、韓国人が5人とアメリカ人が2人、あとヨーロッパから来た家族が3人乗っていました。
パラセーリングは、最高3人まで乗れるようでした。
操縦しているスタッフ2人が結構いたずら好きで、パラセールの始まりと終わりでわざと海に落とそうとするのですが、それもまた楽しかったです。しかし、濡れたくない人は、そう告げれば落とさないようにしてくれるようです。
パラセール中は、ハワイの街並みを、海風を感じながら一望でき、とても気持ちよかったです。あまり怖さは感じず、とても心地よく、一瞬のように感じました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドもきれいに見れました。
日中に参加したのですが、夕方もきれいに夕焼けが見られそうだなと感じました。
またぜひ参加したいです!

We woke up early and went, and we were able to see whales beautifully, so the whole family was satisfied and came back. If we have the chance to come to Hawaii again in winter, I would like to participate again.
朝早起きして行きましたが見事にクジラを見ることが出来て家族全員満足して帰ってきました、また冬にハワイに来る機会が有れば参加してみたいです。

I couldn't see it.
There are about two days like that in a month.
It's disappointing, but there's nothing we can do about it.
I received a ticket to ride again during this season.
見られませんでした。
1ヶ月に2日くらいはそういう日もあるということ。
残念でした。こればっかりはしょうがないですね。
今シーズン中にもう一度乗れるチケットをいただきました。
Thank you very much for boarding with us this time. We hope you will be able to see whales on your next voyage.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠にありがとうございます。次回ご乗船の時には鯨が見られる事を願っております。

I participated with my girlfriend. Since it was winter and the rainy season, I was a bit concerned about the weather being cloudy on the day, but we were able to see such wonderful scenery that it didn't matter. We participated at 150m, and the sea was beautiful, and the sky was blue, creating a stunning view.
The two guys from Xtreme Parasail spoke in funny Japanese, making the trip to the point very enjoyable. For those who are prone to motion sickness or have a weak vestibular system, it's essential to have motion sickness medication and stay hydrated, as the boat rocks quite a bit.
When the parasailing was over, they provided a service of dragging the rope back to the boat along the water's surface (if you don't want that, just say "dry landing please!" and they'll understand), which was a lot of fun. Many people in Hawaii enjoy jet skiing and surfing, but parasailing is also a rare experience, so I highly recommend it.
Also, I'm not very good with rides like roller coasters and I'm not fond of heights, but the beauty of the scenery made it not scary at all. So, I think anyone who isn't extremely afraid of heights could probably participate at 150m. I believe the view is likely better than at 110m or 130m.
It would be even better if you could capture the scenery with a camera. If you're using an iPhone, I recommend a waterproof case like Lifeproof, and for cameras, a GoPro (the people from Xtreme Parasail said "GoPro is awesome") is recommended. Make sure to securely attach a strap to your wrist or hang it around your neck to avoid dropping it.
彼女と2人で参加しにいきました。冬であり雨季ということもあり、当日の天気はやや曇りが多くどうかな、と思っていましたがそんなことはそっちのけの素晴らしい景色を観ることができました。150mでの参加でしたが、海は綺麗で空も青くとても美しい景色でした。
Xtreme Parasailのお兄さん2人は面白い日本語で喋ってくれて、ポイントに行くまでも非常に楽しかったです。乗り物酔いをしやすい人や三半規管が弱い人は酔い止めや水分が必須です。船がとても揺れます。
パラセーリングが終わった際に船までロープを戻してくれる時水面を引きずってくれるサービスもしてくれて(したくない人はdry landing please!といえば伝わる)とても面白いです。ハワイではジェットスキーやサーフィンなどをする人が多いですが、パラセーリングも滅多にできることがないので是非おすすめです。
また、自分はあまりジェットコースターなどの乗り物が得意ではなく高い所も苦手ですが、あまりの景色の良さに全然怖くなかったです。なので極度の高所恐怖症の方以外であれば恐らく150mでも参加できると思います。110mや130mよりもおそらく景色がよく見えると思います。
またカメラに景色を収めることができればより良いと思います。iPhoneであればLifeproofなどの防水ケース、カメラであればGoPro(XtremeParasailの人たちはGoPro is awesomeと言っていました)がオススメだと思います。落とさないようにしっかり手首にヒモをつけたり首からぶらさげてくださいね。

absolutely brilliant day - managed to see sea turtles, Dolphins and Humpback Whales.
the staff were brilliant and explained the equipment (as i had never snorkled before) efficiently so there was no confusion and helped point out things to see. the photographs that i purchased at the end of the day were beautiful.
