All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

Thanks to our guide Mieko, we had a very enjoyable experience. Before heading out to sea, she made sure we practiced thoroughly, and as a result, we were able to smoothly reach the open waters. We were told that the difficulty varies with the weather and waves, but it seemed we had the best conditions that day, allowing us to fully enjoy the beautiful sea and sky. I lacked the courage to stand up while landing on the island, so I spent a lot of time sitting, but my husband was determined to stand and did his best. He fell off about three times during the round trip. Still, he said it felt great to stand and paddle, and he experienced a sense of accomplishment. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch, and after the SUP, we were able to borrow bicycles to explore the stunning scenery around us. Afterward, we were both sound asleep on the bus, feeling pleasantly tired. When we come back to Hawaii, I definitely want to experience SUP with Mieko again! I am truly grateful for the wonderful memories we made on our last day in Hawaii. Thank you very much.

ガイドのミエコさんのおかげでとても楽しい経験をさせてもらいました。海に出る前にしっかりと練習を叩き込んで下さり、その甲斐もあって順調に沖まで出ることが出来ました。天気と波によってハードさが違うと言われましたが私達はベストコンディションの日だったようで綺麗な海、空を満喫することができました。向こうの島までの上陸で落ちる勇気が無い私は座ってる時間が長かったですが主人は立つことメインで頑張っていました。往復で３回くらい落ちていました。それでも、やはり立って漕いで気持ち良かった、達成感があったと言っていました。お昼も美味しいランチ、SUP終了後には自転車も貸してもらい周辺の絶景を楽しむことができました。終わった後はバスの中で夫婦爆睡で心地よい疲労感がありました。
又ハワイに来た時にはミエコさんのSUP経験したいです！！ハワイ最終日とてもいい思い出が出来たこと本当に感謝しております。
ありがとうございました。

We participated as two women. Besides us, there were three other families and couples on the same boat. Once we boarded the boat, we put on life jackets and set off! At first, it wasn't very bumpy, but as we went further out, the waves got higher, and it became quite rocky. After reaching a certain distance offshore, it was finally time for each group to start. Once we were fitted with the parachute, we quickly drifted away from the boat and into the sky! At first, it was thrilling, but as we rose higher, we could see the ocean, sky, mountains, and city all at once, and the wind felt so refreshing—it was the best feeling! I'm glad we went up to 150 meters. I was nervous waiting for our turn, but the instructor played music and chatted with us, which helped me relax a bit. I would love to participate again!

女性2人で参加しました。私たちの他に3組の家族や夫婦が同じ船に。船に乗り込むとライフジャケットを着用して出発！最初はあまり揺れませんが沖へ行くにつれ波が高くなるためかなり揺れました。ある程度沖まで行くといよいよ1組ずつスタート。パラシュートを装着してもらうと、あっという間に船から離れていき空へ！最初はスリルがありますが、高くなるにつれ海・空・山・街の景色が一望でき、風もとても気持ちよく最高の気分でした！！150メートルにして良かったです。自分たちの番が回ってくるまでドキドキしましたが、インストラクターの方が音楽をかけてくれたり、話しかけてくれたので少しリラックスできました。また参加したいです！

I went parasailing for the first time. I was torn between skydiving and parasailing, but since parasailing was more affordable, I chose that this time. The hotel picked me up right on time, and the ride to the boat dock was comfortable.

We headed out to sea for the parasailing, and the wind felt nice during the boat ride, which I enjoyed! I usually don’t get seasick, but when the boat picked up speed, it rocked quite a bit. We had to stay on the boat until all four groups finished, and one family seemed to be struggling with seasickness. If you are prone to seasickness, I highly recommend taking motion sickness medication and bringing a plastic bag for vomiting.

For parasailing, after the staff fitted me with the equipment, I quickly ascended high into the sky. Since I love heights, I chose the higher option at 150 meters and was very satisfied. The staff adjusted the experience a bit, making the boat sway slightly and even dipping us into the sea on the way back, but they made sure my face stayed dry, which was fun.

The views of Hawaii and the ocean were incredibly beautiful, and I was very happy to participate! The tour staff were also very nice, and there was a Japanese instruction sheet, which made me feel at ease. I would love to join again if I have the chance.

初めてパラセーリングをしました。
スカイダイビングと迷ったのですが、パラセーリングの方がお手頃だった為今回はパラセーリングにしました。
ホテルには時間ぴったりに迎えに来て頂いて、船乗り場までの道中は快適でした。
パラセーリングをする為に沖に出るのですが、風が気持ちよく船での移動もわたしは良かったです！
わたしは船酔いしない方なのですが、スピードを出したりすると結構揺れが激しく、4組全員が終わるまで揺れる船に乗ってなければいけない為、1組の親子が船酔いをしていて結構きつそうでした。
船酔いする方でしたら、必ず酔い止めを服用し嘔吐用にビニール袋などの持参をお勧め致します。
パラセーリングは部品を装着しお兄さんに設置してもらうとすぐに空に高く上がっていきます。
わたしは高いところが好きな為、150メートルの高い方を選びとても満足しました。
お兄さんのさじ加減により少し揺れたり、戻る際にわざと海に浸からされたりしましたが、顔は濡れない程度にしてくれる為楽しめました。
ハワイの景色と海がとても綺麗で参加して大満足でした！
ツアーのお兄さん達もとてもよく、日本語の注意事項の紙もあり安心して参加できました。
また機会があれば参加したいと思います。

The weather was nice, the view was great, and the breeze felt wonderful—it was the best! The pickup time was perfect, and when I requested to be dropped off in front of the hotel on the way back, they happily dropped me off right in front of the hotel! I managed with my broken English! I'm glad I participated.

お天気も良く、眺めも、風も気持ちよく
最高でした！
ピックアップの時間もぴったりで、
帰りはホテルの前に降ろして欲しいとお願いしたら、気持ちよくホテル前で降ろしてくれました！
片言の英語でなんとかなりました！
参加して良かったです。

Mr. Yano, who handled the pick-up, was funny and very kind. The two staff members on the boat were also friendly and fun, making for wonderful memories. The photos were on an SD card with 54 images for $30. It included beautiful scenery, so I’m glad I bought it. On the way back, they also kindly shared various recommendations for delicious ice cream shops, making the ride enjoyable. Thank you very much.

On the day of the event, a Japanese guest who had made a reservation did not show up, which caused delays in the pick-up times afterward, so I would like to request that everyone try not to oversleep.

送迎のヤノさん面白くてとても親切な方でした。
ボートのスタッフの方2人も親切で楽しくてとっても良い思い出になりました。
写真はSDカードに54枚入って30ドルでした。綺麗な景色も入っていて買って良かったです。
帰りも美味しいアイスのお店など色々教えてもらいながら楽しく送って頂きました。
ありがとうございました。
当日、予約されてた日本人の方が来なくてその方以降のお迎え時間に遅れたりしてたので寝坊はしないようにお願いしたいですね。

I was worried because I have a fear of heights, but it was totally fine. More than that, the view was amazing and I was moved. It swayed quite a bit because of the wind, but I wasn't scared at all. I could have gone a little higher. Parasailing in Hawaii was a whole different experience!

高所恐怖症なので心配してましたが、ぜんぜん大丈夫でした。それよりも景色が最高で感動してました。風があったので結構揺れましたが怖さは無かったです。もう少し高く上がっても良いくらいでした。ハワイのロケーションでのパラセーリングは一味違いました！

I was quite anxious and hesitated a lot before signing up, but I'm really glad I did! There were four groups of customers, including us. The staff was really funny and made us feel at ease, and then it was time for parasailing. We chose the 90-meter option, and everyone used the same rope. While we were in the air, it was $30 for photos, but the staff took a lot of pictures for us. It was a valuable experience and became the best memory!

心配性なので、申し込むまでにかなり迷いましたがやってみて本当に良かったです！私達を含め4組のお客さんと一緒でした。スタッフがすごく面白い人で楽しませてくれて、緊張が解けたところでいざパラセーリング。90メートルを選びましたが、全員同じロープを使用していました。空中にいる間は、30ドルと有料ですがスタッフがたくさん写真を撮ってくれます。貴重な経験ができて最高の思い出になりました！

I participated with my younger brother, husband, 7-year-old son, and 5-year-old daughter. The pickup was a little late, and I was told to call if they didn't arrive after 5 minutes, so I was getting anxious waiting. Just 5 minutes later, they arrived, and I felt relieved. There were concerns that my 5-year-old daughter might be scared of parasailing, but while she was a bit nervous on the boat, it turned out to be incredibly fun for her. My son was smiling and said he wanted to do it 100 more times and wanted to go again tomorrow! I have a fear of heights, so I was a bit anxious, but it was totally fine. The weather was great, and the view was amazing, making it a really enjoyable experience. We also took a lot of photos, and I was very satisfied. Thank you very much! I definitely recommend you try it out. If I ever get to go to Hawaii again, I want to include this in my plans.

わたしの弟、夫、息子7歳、娘5歳の5人で参加しました。お迎えがちょっと遅れていて5分待ってて来なかったらその場で電話してください。っていうことだったのでこないこない。とドキドキしていたらちょうど5分後に来てくれて安心しました。パラセイリングは5歳の娘が怖がるかもしれない。という反対意見もありましたが、ボートでは緊張気味でしたが、パラセイリングはものすごく楽しかったらしく、笑顔であと100回したいって息子は明日もしたい‼️って言うくらいでした。わたしは高所恐怖症でもありちょっと不安でしたがとんでもない全然平気。天気も良くすごくいい眺めで気持ち良くすごく楽しかったです。
写真もたくさん撮っていただき大満足です
ありがとうございました
ぜひ体験してみてください。オススメです
またいつかハワイ行けたらプランに入れたい
です

I experienced this on the morning of my last day in Hawaii. Since it was the final day, I didn't want to waste any time, so I was worried about how the tour would progress. However, there was no wasted time, and everything was handled efficiently, which was very good.

ハワイ最終日の朝いちばんに体験しました。
最終日だったので、あまり無駄な時間をかけたくなかったのでツアーの進行がどのような感じか心配しましたが、無駄な時間もなく、手際よく体験することができて、とてもよかったです。

We participated as a group of ten on our last day in Hawaii. The tour was conducted efficiently, with no wasted time, and it was very enjoyable. I would like to participate again.

ハワイ最終日に10名で参加しました。手際よくツアーが進み、無駄な時間もなく、とてもよかったです。また参加したいと思います。

My 10-year-old daughter and I tried 150m of parasailing together. It was as high as a flying helicopter! There was hardly any swaying from the wind, and it felt more stable than being on a boat. My daughter is fine with heights, so she was able to let go with one hand and move her feet comfortably. The view was, of course, amazing! You can see Waikiki, Diamond Head, and all the way to Waianae clearly.

There were four groups on the boat from various countries, and it had a friendly atmosphere where we took pictures of each other while flying. The crew also spoke Japanese and provided explanations, which was reassuring.

By the way, if you go on the 8 AM trip, you'll be back on land by a little after 9 AM, making good use of your day! ^_^

10歳の娘と２人で150mのパラセーリングに挑戦しました。飛んでいるヘリコプターと変わらないくらいに高かったです！風で揺れることはほとんどなく、ボートに乗っているよりも安定した状態です。娘は高いところも大丈夫なので、片手を離したり足を動かしたり余裕がありました。景色はもちろん最高です！ワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイアナエの方までしっかり見えます。
ボート内は多国籍で4組乗っており、お互いの飛んでいる最中の写真をお願いして撮り合うなど、フレンドリーな雰囲気でした。
クルーの方も日本語で、説明もしてくれるので安心です。
因みに8時の回で行くと、9時過ぎには陸に戻ってきて、1日が有効に使えます^_^

We participated with our kids! The staff was friendly, and it was a very enjoyable hour. We joined as a family of four at 8 AM (the kids are in fourth and second grade), and we made good use of the morning! We set off in our swimsuits, and if it's cold, it's fine to wear a hoodie or something over them. Photos are available for $30, but you might also ask other guests on the boat to take pictures with your smartphone.

We met at the location by rental car, and since the boarding area is closest to Waikiki, I think it's best to park all the way at the back if you need to use the parking lot.

子連れで参加しました！スタッフの方も気さくでとても楽しい1時間でした^_^朝8時から家族4人で参加(子どもは四年生と二年生)、朝の時間を有効的に使えました！水着着用で出発、寒ければパーカーなどを着たままでも大丈夫です。写真は30ドルで撮ってくれますが、一緒に船に乗ってる他のお客さんにスマホで撮って貰ってもいいかも。
レンタカーで現地集合しましたが、乗船場が最もワイキキよりなので駐車場に停める場合は1番奥に停めるのが良いと思います。

Everyone in my family experienced this for the first time, and they said it was the most fun part of the trip. It was beyond my imagination, and even for someone with a severe fear of heights like me, it was fine!

家族全員が初めて体験しましたが、この旅行でいちばん楽しかったと言ってました。想像以上でした、超高所恐怖症の私でも大丈夫でした！

This was a three-generation trip with ages ranging from 6 to 69 years old. We boarded a catamaran and were very satisfied! The scenery was amazing, and we even saw sea turtles. There were restrooms available (though we didn't use them), which made us feel secure during the ride. Along the way, those in swimsuits could swim in the sea. ^_^

下は6歳〜年長者は69歳の3世代の旅。
カタマラン乗船し、とっても満足しました！
景色は最高、ウミガメも見れました。
お手洗いもあり(使用してませんが)、安心して乗れました。
途中、水着の方は海で泳ぐごとができます^_^

This was a great tour! The driver was very good & had a lot of knowledge about the island! We stopped at a Macadamia nut farm & we didn’t even know that it was a scheduled stop! It was pretty cool! We snorkeled & went kayaking as well! They were all exciting activities! You definitely don’t want to rush the experience!

It was a perfect day. Nice and Sunny, but not too hot. We saw 2 turtles and loads of fish. Guide Dan was very helpful for those in our group, who were true beginners or having trouble with their masks or other issues.
Would highly recommend them.

Since we were there, we decided to go for the highest option, participating at 150m, and it was absolutely the right choice! The kids were not scared at all; in fact, they were thrilled!

せっかくなので、1番高いのが良いと、150mでの参加でしたが、大正解‼︎
子供も怖がるどころか大喜びでした。

I stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, and it was about a 6-minute walk to the meeting point. I got a little lost, so I would have appreciated a more detailed map of the meeting location. Other than that, it was incredibly fun! The thrill, the view from the heights, and the sea turtle we encountered by chance—everything was enjoyable! My middle school son, who was a bit scared, and my 18-year-old daughter both said they really had a great time once it was over! They were so excited and said they want to do it again!

ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ、アリータワーに宿泊していたので、集合場所まで徒歩6分位でした。
少し迷ったので、もう少し詳しい集合場所の地図があれば嬉しかったです。
それ以外は、最高に楽しかった！
スピード感、高所からの景色、偶然遭遇したウミガメ、何もかも楽しかった！
少し怖がっていた中学生の息子、18の娘も、終わってみたら本当に楽しかった！またやりたい！と、大興奮でした！

It was very pleasant and the few minutes went by in no time!!!

Even 150 meters would have been good! The kids really enjoyed it. Although they met the age requirement, many places don’t allow lighter-weight children to participate, but here, even a 20-kilogram child could experience it, which became a great memory!!

I think tipping is a matter of feeling. So we did tip, but the other four Japanese groups didn’t, which was a learning experience for me.

********************

I have nothing bad to say about Veltra, but I’d like to add a comment.

I ordered photos on the boat. I was looking forward to seeing them. I was surprised to find that among about 60 photos, there were only a few of us looking like little beans, and the rest were of the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head. Moreover, there was a photo of the captain eating snacks. I felt like I wanted to angrily comment, “Is this for my Instagram??” It’s too regrettable that I paid $30 for that. It’s a useless 512MB SD card...

I do not recommend ordering photos. Really.

I wish they would at least let us check before buying.

とても気持ちよくて あっという間の数分間でしたー！！！

150メートルにしても良かったかな！というぐらい 子どもたちも楽しんでました。
年齢はクリアしていても体重が軽いと言うことです乗れない所が多い中、こちらは20キロの子どもでも体験できていい思い出になりました！！

チップは気持ちだと思います。なので 私達は入れましたが、他の日本人グループは4組ともせずにいたので 難しいものだなーと勉強になりました。

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

ベルトラさんは一つも悪くありませんが
一言追加で添えておきます。

船上で写真をオーダーしました。
出来上がりが楽しみでした。
驚きました
60枚ほどの写真に、豆のような私たちが数枚写っていて、あとはワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドなど。
さらには、スナック菓子を食べているキャプテンの写真。
自分のインスタにあげる写真ですか？？と怒りのツッコミをしたくなるほど。
あれに30ドルを払ったなんて悔しすぎます。
使い前もない512MBのSDカードです、、、。

写真オーダーはお勧めしません。本当に

せめて、確認してから買うスタイルを取らせてくれたら良いのに。

Since it was my first time, I challenged myself to the 90m jump. I teamed up with two children in elementary school and one adult to match our weights. The crew was very entertaining and considerate of the nervous children. Next time, I want to try a higher jump.

初めてということもあり、90mに挑戦しました。小学低学年の子ども二人と大人一人で体重を合わせました。クルーの方も大変おもしろく、緊張する子どもにも配慮してくれました。
今度はもう少し高いのに挑戦したいです。

The entire family had a great time feeding the fish and spotting sea turtles.

This was our second time on the cruise, as my child really enjoyed it the first time. The waves are bigger in winter, which might make it more fun with the rocking motion. For those who prefer a calm cruise, summer is recommended. Since you're out on the sea, you can get quite sunburned. I recommend taking extra precautions against sunburn, even more than when you're at the beach. We also saw turtles and dolphins, which excited both the adults and the kids.

以前乗船し、子供が気に入っていたので、2回目の乗船でした。
波が大きい冬場の方が揺れがあって楽しいかもしれません。
穏やかなクルーズを希望する方は夏場がオススメです。
海の上なので、かなり日焼けします。日焼けしたくない方は、ビーチに居る時以上にしっかり日焼け対策をすることをお勧めします。
亀やイルカも見られて、大人も子供も大興奮でした。

It was my first time surfing, and the instructor was from overseas and could speak a little Japanese, but he was a cheerful person and it was fun! (laughs)

サーフィンは初めてで、インストラクターも海外の方で少し日本語が話せる程度でしたが陽気な方で楽しかったです（笑）

The view from a height of 150 meters is breathtaking. I was surprised by the quiet atmosphere. My family of four participated, and we were very satisfied.

150ｍの高さから見る景色は絶景です。
静かな空間にびっくりでした。
家族４人で参加しましたが、大満足でした。

I took my two daughters on a graduation trip for their university, and we had our first experience here. Our driver, Tomo, and our guide, Masa, were both very kind to us. We learned a lot about the island's ecosystem and migratory birds, which was information we had never encountered before. Both kayaking and snorkeling were a lot of fun! It was a day where we truly felt the charm of Hawaii. I would love to come back if the opportunity arises. Thank you very much!

娘の大学卒業旅行を兼ねて、娘二人を連れて初めて体験させていただきました。
運転手のトモさん、ガイドしてくださったマサさんお二人共とても親切にしていただきました。島の生態系や渡り鳥の話しなど、今まで知り得ることが出来なかったお話が聞けてとても勉強になりました。カヤックもシュノーケリングもとても楽しかったです❣️ハワイの魅力を肌で感じた一日でした。
また機会があればお世話になりたいと思います。ありがとうございました

It was incredibly fun! The breeze felt nice, and the scenery was beautifully stunning. For $30, you can have a professional camera take beautiful photos, and you'll receive about 70 digital images. It's also possible to collaborate with other participants to take videos, so I definitely recommend working together with everyone.

めちゃくちゃ楽しいの一言に尽きます！
風も気持ちよく、景色も最高に綺麗でした♪
30＄払えば一眼レフで綺麗な写真を撮ってくれ、データで70枚程度いただけます。
ほかの参加者と協力して、動画を取り合うことも可能なので是非皆さんで協力するのをおススメします。

This is a unique experience, so I signed up for the 150m option. The shuttle was a bit late, which made me anxious, but they arrived properly. The driver also apologized. In the early morning time slot, I was with a Japanese newlywed couple and an American family. The weather was nice, so it felt really good! There were moments when I felt a sudden drop, but that was part of the fun. The flight time was just a few minutes, but I enjoyed it enough. I wasn't asked about getting wet, so I ended up soaked up to my waist. If you don't want to get wet, it seems you need to mention it before flying. I took the photos myself, and I asked the Japanese person for some shots from below. We tipped $10 for the two of us. The boat sways a bit. Since it was early in the morning, I participated without having breakfast, and I felt a bit nauseous later on. I should have eaten something. (For some people, eating might make them feel more nauseous...)

なかなかできる体験ではないので150mで申し込みしました。
送迎は少し遅れてドキドキしましたが、ちゃんと来てもらえました笑。ドライバーさんも謝っていました。朝一の時間帯で日本人の新婚ご夫婦と米国のファミリーと一緒でした。
天気もよかったのでとても気持ちがいいです！たまにガクンと降下する感じがしましたがそれもまた一興です。飛行時間は数分ですが十分楽しめました。海ポチャについては何も聞かれなかったので腰まで濡れました。嫌な方は飛ぶ前に申し出る必要がありそうです。
写真は自分で撮りました。下からの写真は日本人の方にお願いしました。チップは2人で10ドルお支払いしました。
ボートは少し揺れます。朝早かったので朝食を食べずに参加したのですが後半少し酔った感じがしました。何か食べておけばよかったです。(人によっては食べた方が酔ってしまうかもしれません…)

I booked the highest one at 150m! Since I made a reservation for the early morning, there were only two other groups participating, so there was no waiting time while flying, which was stress-free. And when I thought it might be scary, it actually felt great, and the view was amazing. I felt a sense of superiority looking at the streets of Hawaii from the sky while basking in the morning sun (laughs). You have to wake up early, but I highly recommend the early morning slot!

一番高い150mを予約しました！
朝イチの予約にしていたので
一緒に参加したのも二組だけで
飛んでる間の待ち時間がなくストレスがなかったです♫
そして怖いかなと思ったら気持ちよくて
景色も最高で朝日を浴びながら
空から眺めるハワイの街に優越感を感じました（笑）
早起きしないとですが朝イチがオススメです♫

It was stable as we ascended, and there was no fear at all. My 70-year-old parents also experienced it and loved it. I think the middle height is sufficient. In the latter half, it can be a bit dizzying, so taking motion sickness medication beforehand would help you enjoy it throughout!

安定した状態で上空に上がり、怖さもなかった。70歳の両親も体験して良かったと大好評。真ん中の高さで十分だと思う。後半は、少し酔うので酔い止めを飲んでおくと終始楽しめると思う！

Good trip and having funs, beautiful views and the water was so clear that you can see the bottom
