All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I participated with 10 colleagues from work! It seems that even those who are not fond of heights enjoyed it, which is great. The weather was perfect✨ I'm glad we were able to create wonderful memories. For those who have never been on a small boat or are prone to motion sickness, taking motion sickness medication is essential!! I recommend preparing what works for your body in advance!

会社の同僚10人で参加しました！高い所が苦手な方でも楽しめたようでよかったです。天気も最高でした✨いい思い出作りが出来てよかったです。小型の船に乗ったことのない方や、乗り物酔いしやすい方は、酔い止め必須です！！身体にあったものを自分で準備しておくことをお勧めします！

It was a fantastic trip , the 2 tour guides were fantastic and knew what they were talking about , made me feel very comfortable and relaxed , I will definitely be back

awesome experience. This was out first underwater activity and at first i was not confident to get into water.. but, the guide was all was there next to me the whole time. you don't need to know how to swim to do this. Don't miss the snorkel with fish and turtle around you.

My first parasailing experience was more liberating than I had imagined! The panoramic view was amazing! Before I could even prepare myself for how it would feel to fly, we left the boat, but it was very smooth, and I quickly found myself 120 meters in the air. The instructor also took photos and was great at getting everyone excited, which made it a lot of fun. I would love to do it again. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried parasailing!

初めてのパラセーリング、想像以上の開放感でした！パノラマに広がる景色、素晴らしかったです！どのように飛ぶのか心の準備をする間も無く、ボートを離れましたが、非常にスムーズであっという間に120メートル上空にいけました。インストラクターの方も写真を撮って下さり、場の盛り上げ方も上手でとても楽しかったです。また飛んでみたいです。パラセーリングをされたことがない方、強くオススメします！

I had my first parasailing experience in my life. I tried it at 150 meters, and the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from above was amazing. The transportation was smooth, and I was very satisfied.

人生初パラセーリング体験してきました。
150メートルを体験したのですが、上空から見えるワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの景色は最高でした。送迎も滞りなく、大変満足でした。

We participated as a couple on our honeymoon. There were about five groups, including us, that boarded the boat, but the boat was quite rocky and bouncy! I enjoy attractions like roller coasters, so I found it fun, but those who are prone to seasickness were getting sick. The parasailing was 150 meters high, and it was very enjoyable without being scary! However, since you end up splashing into the sea at the end, a waterproof camera is a must! I got wet, so I regretted not bringing a change of clothes for the return trip, as it was cold. But we arrived at the hotel quickly, so it was okay. We had a great time!

新婚旅行で夫婦で参加しました。私達夫婦含めて5グループほどで船に乗り込みましたが、船が結構揺れるっ!!跳ねるっ!!ジェットコースターなどが好きなのでアトラクション的に私は楽しめたのですが、船酔いしやすい人はリバースしていました。パラセーリングは150メートルでしたが怖いこともなくとても楽しかったです!ただ最後に海にボチャンされるので、カメラは防水必須です!濡れたので帰りが寒く、上着の着替えを持ってくればよかったなぁとそれだけが後悔しました。しかしすぐにホテルに着いたので大丈夫でした。私達夫婦はとても楽しめました!!

We participated in a surfing lesson starting at 9 AM as a couple. There was a Japanese staff member, so we could join without any inconvenience even though we couldn't speak English. They also helped us paddle from behind, so since it was our first time surfing, we were able to stand on the board. With two or more participants, we received a DVD of the photos, and all the staff members were very kind, so we were extremely satisfied.

朝９時からのサーフィン教室に夫婦で参加しました。
スタッフの方には日本人の方もいたので、英語ができなくても不便なく参加できました。
パドルも後ろから押してもらえたので、初めてのサーフィンでしたら、板の上で立つこともできました。
２人以上の参加で写真のDVDももらえ、スタッフの方も親切な方ばかりでしたので、大変満足です。

I was a bit scared since it was my first time, but I'm glad I chose the highest height. They took a lot of photos for us (which you need to purchase), and it became a nice memory. Also, since I'm prone to seasickness, I did feel a bit queasy while waiting. I took motion sickness medication beforehand, but those who are prone to it should be cautious.

初めてで怖さもありましたが、一番高い高さにしてよかったです。
写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、（要購入ですが）いい記念になりました。
また、船酔いしやすいほうなので、やはり待っている時間に軽い船酔いになりました。
酔い止めのんでからいきましたが、酔いやすい方は要注意です。

I went with my 5 year old daughter and 60 year old mother. We had a great time on the 600 ft line. Wish we could stay up there longer. Jason and Russell - the captain and crewman - were great and a lot of fun. Russell took great photos while we were in the air.

Pick up from the hotel was easy and check in before the boat was easy. No waiting around to get going, which is always nice.

I wanted to go to Hanauma Bay with a different tour company than last time, but it seems that the two plans listed on Veltra are from the same tour company. There is no difference in the guide's content between the two plans (only differences in the included fees). I'm disappointed that the plan names are different but it's the same tour company.
The guide was friendly, but I wonder if it's just me who feels a bit frustrated by how Americanized it is...
There was someone who got seasick. Those who can't swim might feel scared as the waves can pull you in. It requires stamina since you'll be swimming for about an hour.

前回と違ったツアー会社でハナウマ湾に行きたかったのですが、ベルトラに掲載されている２つのプランは同じツアー会社のようです。２プランともガイド内容に差はありません(含まれる料金の違い)。プラン名が違うのに同じツアー会社でがっかり。。
ガイドの方は気さくな感じですが、アメリカナイズされすぎていて少しイライラしてしまうのは私だけなのか…。
波酔いしている方がいました。泳げない人は波に体をもっていかれて恐怖感を感じるかも？ １時間ほど泳ぐので体力いります。

This was my first time booking an optional tour abroad from Japan, so I was filled with anxiety, but I was very relieved when they came to pick me up on time. There were four groups participating, including myself, a Japanese newlywed couple, and two other groups, and the two staff members created a very friendly and homey atmosphere. By the way, they only spoke English.

The height of 120 meters was surprising, and the duration was unexpectedly long and enjoyable! The view was amazing! Lastly, since you will definitely get splashed with water, I think it's better to wear a swimsuit.

海外のオプショナルツアーに対して事前に日本から予約していく事が初めてだったので不安だらけだったのですが、当日時間通りに迎えに来てくれとても安心しました。私を含め日本人の新婚さんと他2組の計4組で参加をしたのですが、担当の方2人がとても気さくでアットホームな雰囲気を作ってくれました。ちなみにどちらも英語のみです。
120m高い,,,(笑)時間も意外に長くて面白かった！景色最高！最後におきまりの水にばしゃんされるので水着は着て行った方が良いと思います。

This was my second time in Hawaii, and I visited Lanikai Beach for the first time! The ocean was incredibly beautiful and the clarity was amazing. I also climbed to the Pillbox, and although it was very tiring, I was able to enjoy the best views! I had plenty of time, so I was able to go into the city as well, and it was a lot of fun!

ハワイ二回目で初めてラニカイビーチに行きました！海はとても綺麗で透明度がやばかったです。
それにピルボックスに登り、とても疲れましたが最高の景色を堪能できました！
時間もたっぷりあったので市内にも行けて、とても楽しかったです！

The pickup time was set for 9:40, so while I was getting ready at the hotel, I received a call in the lobby at 8:40 saying that the parasailing vehicle had arrived. I hurriedly got ready, thinking I might have made a mistake, and went to the pickup location. When I handed over the paper, it stated 9:40, but I was told to just get in the car, and the parasailing started right away. Fortunately, I was almost ready, but I felt sorry for causing delays for the other participants. I don't know where the mistake happened, but I hope they won't schedule it an hour early again. The parasailing itself was fun.

ピックアップ時刻が9:40になっていたので、ホテルで準備をしていたら8:40にロビーから部屋まで連絡がありました。パラセーリングの車が来ていると。自分が間違っていたかもしれないと急いで準備しピックアップ場所まで行きました。その時紙を渡す時9:40と書いていたのにそのまま車に乗ってと言われそのままパラセーリングも開始されました。準備がほとんど終わっていたのでよかったものの、結果的に他の参加者の方にも遅れた事で迷惑をかけてしまい申し訳なかったです。どこで間違いがあったのかわかりませんが、1時間も早いのは辞めて欲しいなと思いました。パラセーリング自体は楽しかったです。

I participated in this trip because I wanted to take my 5-year-old daughter to Kailua, where we went for our honeymoon! I was nervous until the pickup, but we safely boarded and headed to Kailua. There were changing rooms and lockers for valuables, so it was安心 for families with children. The staff were all friendly and kind. My daughter really warmed up and kept talking to Mieko (is that the right name?). I’m sorry for interrupting your work!

We headed to the beach at 9:30 and were able to relax until 3 PM with a lunch break in between. It was quite windy that day, which made things a bit challenging, but we had a really great time.

Next time, when my daughter can ride a bike, I’d like to go to Kailua Town.

Thank you to all the staff!

以前新婚旅行で行ったカアルアに、5歳の娘を連れて行きたくて参加させていただきました！
ピックアップまではドキドキしていましたが、無事に乗車しカアルアへ。
更衣室も、貴重品用のロッカーもあり、子連れでも安心です。
スタッフのみなさんもフレンドリー&親切でした。娘もすっかり打ち解けてしまい、みえこさん(名前あってます？)にずっと話しかけていました。お仕事のお邪魔してすいませんでした！

９時半にビーチへ向かい、ランチを挟んで３時までのんびり過ごすことができました。
当日はとても風が強くて少し大変でしたが、本当に楽しかったです。

次回は娘が自転車に乗れるようになったら、カイルアタウンに行きたいと思います。

スタッフのみなさま、ありがとうございました！

It was my first time surfing, but thanks to the longboard, it was easy to ride! Although it mentioned that the lessons would be in English, I was pleasantly surprised that they spoke to me in Japanese, which made it easier for me to enjoy surfing!

初めてのサーフィンでしたがロングボードのおかげで簡単に乗れました！また英語でのレッスンと書いてありましたが、意外と日本語で話しかけてくれて安心してサーフィンを楽しむ事が出来ました！

I had an amazing experience! My friend, who is not good with heights, was also very moved. I definitely want to use this again when I come to Hawaii!

すごく良い経験をさせていただきました！
高いところが苦手な友人もとても感動していました。
またハワイに来る際にはぜひまた利用したいです！

The crew onboard was awesome! Very friendly and made the trip entertaining. Drinks prices were very reasonable for Waikiki. Boat ride was great, but be ready to get wet. Alot of people got soaked head to toe. Boat was too crowded, would have rather paid a higher price for a more private feel. Overall very fun experience with amazing views of Diamond Head and Honolulu.

There are people who can speak Japanese, so the procedures can be done smoothly. The lessons are in English, but the explanations using physical demonstrations make it easy to understand.

日本語を話せる方もいて手続き等はスムーズにできます。レッスンは英語ですが、体を使っての説明なのでわかりやすいです。

A few weeks ago, I made a reservation here and participated in the activity. The shuttle bus arrived right on time in front of our hotel. Perhaps because it was early in the morning, there were only four of us, including ourselves. The two women we were with mentioned that they would be returning to their home country a few hours later, and they were advised to be careful not to drop anything in the sea. It was great that the staff confirmed this with everyone.

After arriving at the port, we boarded the boat, and while we were swaying with the waves, we put on life jackets. I think it would be smoother if you change into clothes that you don't mind getting wet before this point. All luggage is stored under the boat seats. We brought a digital camera and had a smartphone in a waterproof case hanging around our necks, ready to go.

Before taking off, I entrusted the digital camera to the two women we were with, and they took photos while we were flying. I’m not sure if this is why, but there were no sales of the photo data mentioned in other reviews.

The boat's swaying (which was probably intentional, haha) was fine, but I got really seasick while flying, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication in advance.

The view while flying was as wonderful as others have said. The two women we were with were very kind and gentle, and all the staff were cheerful and friendly, making for a very enjoyable time.

数週間前にこちらで予約し、参加してきました。
宿泊先のホテル前に時間ぴったりに送迎バスが到着。朝早い時間だったからか自分達を含め合計4人だけでした。
一緒だったお二人の女性は、数時間後には帰国されるとのことで、海に落とさないようにお伝えされていました。スタッフさんが全員に確認されていたのが良かったです。
港に着いてしばらくしてからボートに乗り、波に揺られて移動している間に、救命胴衣などが装着されていきました。この時までに濡れて困る服などの着替えを済ませておくとスムーズに進むと思います。荷物は全てボート座席下に収納します。自分達はデジカメを持ち、防水ケースに入れたスマホを首にかけてスタンバイ。
飛ぶ前に、一緒だったお二人にデジカメを託し、飛んでいる間の写真を撮って頂きました。そのためかどうかわかりませんが、他の方の口コミにかかれている撮影データの販売はありませんでした。
ボートの揺れ(恐らく敢えて揺らされています笑)は大丈夫でしたが、飛んでいる間に酷く酔いましたので、酔いやすい方は予め酔いどめを飲んでおく方が良いと思います。
飛んでいるときの景色は他の方も仰っているようにすばらしかったです。一緒だったお二人はとても親切で優しく、スタッフの方は皆さん明るく親切でとても楽しい時間になりました。

I thought it would be a lot scarier than it was, but parasailing was actually quite relaxing! I went tandem with the friend on the 1,000-ft line and boy do you go high up! Looking at Waikiki, it seemed like we were higher than all the skyscrapers.

The crew was really awesome, too, cracking jokes to make us feel more at ease. You can choose how wet you want to get, and we chose to get dipped up to our necks. I was pretty impressed with how well they were able to handle the boat and the sail, as you can also choose to have a completely-dry landing.

This is an experience I recommend to everyone, and the guys at Hawaiian Parasail definitely earned their tip!

Went with my two daughters, the staff is very friendly and professional, we had a great time!

Before we started, I was wondering if we would be pulled from the sea or if we would just drop into the water! I was really nervous, but as the boat picked up speed, we smoothly lifted off from the deck. The weather was great, and the view from the sky was amazing—it was the best experience. It seems that up to three people can go together, so it was perfect that my family of three could enjoy it together.

始める前は、海の中から引っ張られるのかな？とか、降りる時は海にドボン！なのかな？とか、ドキドキでしたが、船がスピードを上げたかと思うと、船のデッキからスーッと浮かび上がりました。天気も良かったので、空からの眺めが素晴らしく、最高でした。３人まで一緒にできるみたいで、ちょうど家族３人で一緒にできて良かったです。

I found out that I could go parasailing right near the Hilton where I was staying, so I made a last-minute reservation. The access was great, and there was a discount plan, making it a worthwhile experience. The local instructor took lots of photos while we were parasailing, which made for wonderful memories.

宿泊していたヒルトンのすぐ近くでパラセイリングが出来ると知って急きょ予約しました。
アクセスが良く、割引プランもあってお得な体験でした。現地インストラクターさんがパラセイリング中の写真をいっぱい撮ってくれたので良い思い出になりました。

My husband, at 66 years old, took on his first snorkeling adventure! I had to persuade him to join, so I read various experiences and decided that this tour was the best choice. It was a great decision. I was worried about my husband, who has nasal issues, when I heard the instruction, "Breathe through your mouth only, not your nose," but thanks to Chieko's excellent teaching, he didn't struggle with breathing and was able to enjoy about an hour of snorkeling without holding back the younger couples. We created wonderful memories with the beautiful sea and the adorable, colorful fish. What is the path to enjoying snorkeling? The path to meeting the fish? Dan guided us along that sea path and helped us meet the fish. I recommend renting a wetsuit as it has many advantages, such as protecting against injuries from coral and helping with buoyancy, as well as keeping warm. Dan took plenty of photos and uploaded them to Facebook, so we could download them to our smartphones. The only disappointment was that we didn't get to see any sea turtles. It seemed that the continuous hour of swimming was tough for my husband, and he mentioned that he was tired and wanted a break.

夫は、66歳で初シュノーケリングに挑戦！渋る夫を説き伏せての参加だったので体験談をいろいろ読んで　ツアーはここしかないと決めました。大正解でした。「鼻呼吸はしない　口呼吸だけです」の言葉に　鼻の悪い夫が心配になりましたが、教え方の上手なチエコさんのおかげで呼吸が苦しくなることもなく、若いカップルたちの足を引っ張ることもなく　1時間ほどのシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。きれいな海　可愛くきれいなお魚さんの数々　良い思い出が作れました。シュノーケリングを楽しむ道？　お魚さんに会える道？なんでしょうか　ダンさんがその海の道を案内してお魚さんに合わせてくれます。ウエットスーツは、サンゴからの怪我を避けるのと体が浮きやすくなる　寒さから身を守るなど利点が多いので借りることをお勧めします。写真もダンさんがいっぱい撮ってくれてフェイスブックにアップしてくれるので写真を自分のスマホにダウンロードできます。ただ残念だったのが、ウミガメさんには会えなかったことですね。1時間ぶっ続けのスイムは　夫にはきつかったみたいで疲れた　休憩ほしかったといってました。

I'm not good with thrill rides, but I had no problem with parasailing. The view of the Hawaiian sea from above was beautiful and felt great. I did get a little rain when we were up there, but that also became a nice memory. I asked another crew member to take photos for me from below, but there were also people who brought their cameras up with them. If I have the chance again, I would like to try it at 150 meters next time.

私は絶叫系が苦手ですが、パラセイリングは問題なくできました。
上から見るハワイの海はとても綺麗で、気持ちよかったです。
上に上がった時に少々雨に打たれましたが、それもまたいい思い出になりました。
私はカメラは他のクルーにお願いして下から撮ってもらいましたが、カメラも持って上に上がっていく方たちもいました。
また機会があれば、今度は150ｍで挑戦してみたいです。

What an exciting adventure this was! A very well organised activity from go to whoa; and the staff were all friendly and professional. I'd never parasailed before but loved every second of my ride. Something you must try at least once!

I was quite nervous since it was my first time paragliding, but the explanations were thorough, and I had a great atmosphere with the other participants! It felt like time flew by because I enjoyed my walk in the sky so much! I thought it could have been a bit longer, but I was fully satisfied! I would love to participate in this activity again next time! (⌒▽⌒)

初めてのパラだったのでかなりドキドキしてましたが、説明もしっかりしていただき他の参加者の方ともすごくいい雰囲気で楽しめました！！
空の散歩が楽しすぎたせいかすぐに時間が過ぎてしまった感じでした！！
もう少し時間が、長くてもいいかなとは思いましたが充分満足できました！！
次回もまた参加してみたいアクティビティです(⌒▽⌒)

The boat was almost full, but there were only us and one other family of Japanese people. A cheerful group of Black women were singing and dancing to the background music, laughing and repeatedly shouting the word "splash!" with the boat captain, which left us a bit confused at first, but it turned into quite an attraction after a while, haha.

We couldn't see dolphins, but we were able to spot sea turtles and flying fish. The view of Diamond Head from the sea was beautiful. If you are prone to motion sickness, please make sure to take some anti-nausea medication!

You need to take off your sandals and board the boat barefoot, so don't forget to bring a bag for them. There was a place to put your belongings behind the seats. If you have a larger bag, you’ll be encouraged to place that behind the seat as well, so it's better to keep your valuables with you.

船はほぼ満員状態ですが、日本人の方は私達ともう一家族しかいらっしゃらなかったです。
陽気な黒人女性さん達がBGMにあわせて歌い踊り、ケラケラ笑いながら船頭さんとスプラッシュ！という単語を連発されていたので、？？？状態でしたが、途中から本当になかなかのアトラクションとなりました笑
イルカは無理だけど、ウミガメとトビウオは見る事ができました。
海からのダイヤモンドヘッドも綺麗でした。
乗り物酔いしやすい方は必ず酔い止め飲んでくださいね！
サンダル類は脱いで裸足で乗船するので、袋もお忘れなく。荷物は椅子の後ろに置く場所がありました。少し大きめのカバンだとそれも椅子の後ろに置くよう促されるので、貴重品だけは別で手元に持っていた方がいいですよ。

This was my first time snorkeling and Dan was a great teacher! He guided me through everything and made sure we were ready before heading out to the waters. I'm so glad that he was our guide..I don't think I would ever be able to do it without him. If you want to learn how to snorkel and see some beautiful fishes and turtles go with Blue Hawaii Divers!

Since we were staying at a hotel in Ala Moana, we could easily walk to the Hilton. Although it was said to take 2-3 hours, we signed up at 11:00, and since it was just the four of us, we were back at the hotel by 12:30.

The view from 150 meters high was truly fantastic, refreshing, and amazing!

アラモアナのホテルに滞在していたので、ヒルトンまですぐそこで歩いて行けました。
実際には２－３時間かかると言われていましたが、１１時に申し込んで、私たち４人だけだったので、12時半にはホテルに戻ってこられました。

１５０ｍの高さは本当に見晴らしがよく、気持ちよくて、最高でした！
