All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

Parasailing while looking at Waikiki Beach. It was 150 meters high, but it might have been better to go lower. The reason I felt it was too high was that I experienced a prolonged sensation of being like a kite rather than the feeling of being pulled and flying, which made me feel seasick. I've done it five times in places like Guam and Okinawa, but this was the first time I felt seasick.

ワイキキビーチ見ながらのパラセイリング。150ｍだったが、もっと低くてもよかったかも。高すぎたと感じたのは、引っ張られて飛ぶ感覚より、凧のような状態が長く続き船酔い状態になってしまったこと。グアム、沖縄など５回経験あるが、船酔い状態のなったのは初めて。

Three of us girls jumped 150 meters (^^)
We were quite nervous, but there was no fear, just pure amazement at the scenery (^^)
The staff and the drivers who provided transportation were kind and funny!
We even encountered dolphins during the boat ride!
I was so happy (^_^*)
I’m really glad I did it (^^)
I want to do it again when I go back (^_^*)

女子３人で150m飛びました(^^)
かなりドキドキしていましたが、怖さもなく、景色にただただ感動(^^)
スタッフさん達も送迎してくれるドライバーさんも優しくて面白かったです！
ボートの移動中にイルカにも遭遇できました！
嬉しかったー(^_^*)
ほんとにやってよかったですー(^^)
また行ったらしたいです(^_^*)

I had so much fun that 10 minutes was definitely not enough! It was also great that they provided transportation to the hotel. However, it would have been even better if there had been guidance on tipping. I wasn't sure if the amount to give was different from what you would give at a restaurant, so I ended up asking a Japanese person I happened to be with. (*_*)

10分じゃ全然足りないくらい楽しめました！！ホテルまで送迎してくれるのもとっても良かったです。ただチップの目安の案内等があればなお良かった。レストランとは渡す金額が違うものなのかがわからなくてたまたま一緒になった日本人の方に聞いてしまいました(*_*)

As a commemoration of our honeymoon, we participated in our first parasailing experience.

When we arrived at the meeting point for the afternoon tour, the trolley and the driver were already waiting for us. The driver spoke English and was very lively in conversation. The trolley was almost private, and with just six of us in the spacious interior, we were able to sit comfortably.

After arriving at the boat dock and waiting for about 20 minutes, we finally boarded the boat. Apart from us, all the other participants were foreigners. Once the boat set off, everyone got excited with a cheer. Although I couldn't understand most of the conversations, the atmosphere was very good, and just being there was enjoyable.

As we headed out to sea, the English explanations began, but we received a Japanese instruction manual, so we were able to understand everything properly.

Finally, we arrived at the spot for parasailing! We were the fourth group out of five, so we could calmly watch the procedures before our turn. The first couple was guided up in no time and quickly soared into the sky. As they took off, the other participants applauded, and the atmosphere on the boat was very lively.

While waiting, the boat rocked quite a bit, which was thrilling in itself. We never got bored. Both of us had taken motion sickness medication beforehand, but as time went on, I started to feel a bit uneasy in my stomach.

While the previous pair was flying, they helped us put on the harness and asked, "Are you going to splash into the sea?" Before the tour, we were hesitant, but seeing the other members happily splash into the water made us decide to go for it too.

We were guided to the edge of the boat, and before we knew it, we were lifted into the air, soaring high above. I had hoped to reach the maximum height of 150 meters, but it wasn't as scary as I expected, and it felt nice to sway gently in the wind. Above all, everyone on the boat was waving and cheering for us, which really boosted our spirits.

We were up there for about ten minutes. The weather was great, so we could see Waikiki and Diamond Head beautifully. While taking photos and chatting, the time passed quickly. For us, it was just the right amount of time—neither too short nor too long. We got to splash into the water twice, which was so much fun! We only got wet up to our chests, so we weren't cold after coming back on board.

When we returned to the boat, everyone cheered, "Yeah!" Until we reached the port, everyone was in high spirits, and the atmosphere on the boat was truly enjoyable.

Finally, we were asked if we wanted to purchase photos for $30, and we decided to buy them without hesitation. On the return boat ride, they cheered in English, "Let's give a round of applause for our guests from Japan!" and we never felt out of place. Everyone was kind and lively, and I truly felt glad to have participated.

ハネムーンの記念に初のパラセイリングに参加しました。
午後からのツアーで集合場所に行くと、既にトロリーと運転手さんが待っていました。運転手さんは英語ですがノリノリでお話してくれます。トロリーもほぼ貸切状態で、広い車内に６人だったのでのびのび座れました。
ボート乗り場に到着後、２０分程待っていよいよボートへ。
私たちの他は外国人の参加者ばかりでした。ボートが出発すると「フ~！」とみんな盛り上がっていきます。会話はほとんど分からないけど、雰囲気はとても良く、その場にいるだけでも楽しめました。
沖に向かいながら英語の説明が始まりますが、私たちは日本語の説明書をもらえたのできちんと理解できました。

沖へ着いていよいよパラセイリング！
私たちは５組中４番目だったので、飛ぶまでの手順を落ち着いて見てられました。
１番目だったカップルはあれよあれよという間に誘導され、あっという間に上空へ。飛び上がると他の参加者は拍手喝采で、ボート内はとても盛り上がってました。
待ち時間ボートがよく揺れるので、それだけでもハラハラドキドキします。全然飽きません。
二人とも事前に酔いどめを飲んでいましたが、後半につれて私は胃のあたりがモヤモヤしました。

前のペアが飛んでいる間に、ベルトを装着してくれ「チャプチャプ？(海に落ちる？)」と聞かれます。ツアー前は迷ってましたが、他のメンバーが海にチャプーンと落ちて楽しそうだったので私たちもお願いしました。
ボートの端に誘導され、パラシュートをつないだと思ったらあっという間に浮き上がり、はるか上空へ。１番高い１５０ｍを希望してましたが、思ったより怖くなく、風に揺られてふわふわと気持ち良いです。なにより、ボートにいるみんなが手を振ってくれたり拍手で讃えてくれるので、気分が上がります。
上空では１０分弱でしょうか。天気がよかったので、ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドがとても綺麗に見えました。写真を撮ったり、喋ったりしている間に時間になります。私たちには短すぎず長すぎず、ちょうど良い時間でした。
期待していた海ポチャは２回もしてもらえ、とっても楽しかったです！濡れるのも胸下辺りまでなので、上がったあとも寒くはないです。
ボートへ戻ると「イエ~！」とみんなが盛り上げてくれました。港に着くまでみんなノリノリで、ボート内は本当に楽しかったです。

最後に有料写真が欲しいかどうか聞かれます。
３０ドルですが、私たちは迷わず購入しました。
帰りのボートでは「日本からのお客さんに拍手~！」と英語で盛り上げてくださり、終始アウェイな感じはありませんでした。
みんな親切でノリもよく、参加して本当によかったと思いました。

We go by boat to the point where we fly. In the session I participated in, there were 10 people in 5 groups. We take turns flying, but I got seasick while waiting. Other participants also seemed to be struggling with motion sickness, so I recommend taking anti-nausea medication in advance. Although I did get sick, the parasailing itself was really fun. It was also enjoyable to be briefly dropped into the sea when returning after flying for a certain period. I want to go again!

船で飛ぶポイントまで行きます。
私が参加した回は10人の5組でした。
順番に飛ばしてもらうのですが、待っている間に酔いました。
他の参加者も酔って大変そうだったので、事前に酔い止めを飲むことをオススメします。
酔いはしたけど、パラセール自体はとっても楽しいです。
一定時間飛んで、戻る時に海にボチャンと一瞬落とされるのも、楽しかったです。
また行きたいと思います‼

I participated in an underwater scooter experience with two friends. The ride lasts about 20 minutes, which is plenty of time to enjoy it. I've swum a lot in Hawaii and abroad, but that day had the most beautiful sea. The guide mentioned that the water was clear and warm, making for great conditions. Although it felt a bit chilly due to the wind in November, the water was warm, and we enjoyed the summer sun close to noon. If there's wind, the boat can sway a little, so it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication before participating. SUP at the sandbar is also fun. You can return to Waikiki by 1 PM, making it a great way to use your morning effectively. Additionally, they take photos underwater and send them via email for $45. The pictures of me playing with the fish and the underwater scooter became wonderful memories. By the way, it's $60 if you want a video included. The equipment is clean, and the staff is friendly, so I highly recommend this company!

友人と3人で水中スクーターをやってみたくて参加しました。
乗っている時間は20分ぐらいですが十分楽しめる時間です。
ハワイや海外でたくさん泳ぎましたが、この日が一番きれいな海でした。
ガイドさんも、濁っていないし、水が暖かいからいいコンディションだと言ってました。
11月という事で風が冷たく感じましたが水は暖かく、お昼近くには常夏の太陽も満喫しました。風があると船も少し揺れるので酔い止めを飲んで参加するといいかもしれないですね。
サンドバーでのSUPも楽しいですよ。
1時にはワイキキに戻れますし、午前中を有効に使うにはおすすめです。
あと、水中で写真を撮影してくれますが、45ドルで写真をメールで送ってくれます。
魚と水中スクーターでたわむれている写真はいい思い出になりました。
ちなみに動画付きだと60ドルです。
装備も清潔ですし、スタッフも親切ですのでこの運営会社はおすすめですよ！

I participated early, and there were already 5 groups (10 people) in attendance. There are comments about rough driving, but in my case, the driver was an elderly man, and the driving was normal.

When we arrived at the dock, they were setting up the parachute on the boat, and we had to wait for over 20 minutes, which was as others had mentioned. Once we boarded the boat, we moved out to sea for about 5 minutes. The waves were high, so it was quite bumpy. I took motion sickness medication and just barely managed to endure it.

When we reached the point, those sitting at the front of the boat started putting on their gear to begin parasailing. Just before that, they asked if we wanted a photo service for $30. Since they were swapping SD cards for each group during the shoot, it seemed unlikely that our photos would get mixed up with others.

The parasailing itself was very pleasant and not scary at all. You can take pictures from the sky with a camera or smartphone you can hold. The flight time varied by group. The lowest plan was about 3-4 minutes, but the highest plan seemed to be double that. We chose the 130-meter plan, and I thought 5 minutes was just right.

At the end, they asked for a tip of about $10 per pair, and for a moment, I wondered if it was just $10 for two people, but since there were two instructors, everyone ended up giving $10 each. Lastly, when getting on the shuttle bus, those who were wet had to place towels on their seats.

早い時間に参加しましたが定員の5組10名参加していました。
車の運転が荒いという書き込みがありますが、私の場合はおじいさんのドライバーで、普通の運転でした。
船着き場に到着すると、船にパラシュートを設置しており、20分以上待たされましたので、これは他の方の書き込み通りでした。
いざ船に乗り込むと、沖に向けて5分くらい船で移動します。波が高いので結構揺れます。酔止めを飲んでギリギリ耐えれる感じでした。
ポイントに着くと、船の手前に座っている人から、器具を付けてパラセーリング開始です。直前に30ドルで写真サービスが要るかどうか聞かれます。
撮影は組ごとにSDカードを差し替えていたので、他の組の方の写真が混ざっているようなことは無さそうでした。
パラセーリング自体は、とても気持ちよく、全然怖くなかったです。手に持てるカメラかスマホで、空から撮影可能です。
飛行時間は、組によってまちまちです。一番低いプランだと、3〜4分程度でしたが、一番高いプランだと、その倍は飛行していたと思います。私たちは130メートルプランでしたが、5分程度でちょうどいいと思いました。
最後に2人ずつでチップ10ドルくらいくださいと案内があり、一瞬（2人で10ドルでいいのか？）と思いましたが、インストラクターが2人いたので、皆1人10ドルずつチップを渡していました。
最後に送迎バスに乗る際に、濡れている人は座席にタオルを敷く必要がありました。

Me and my husband thought about going to hawaii for our first wedding anniversary. I did our itinerary for hawaii and I am so glad that I purchased this! I got seasick cause im not used to cruising but overall it was very worth it purchasing this. My husband and i really had fun. They played music and sells alcoholic or non alcoholic drink which it made more cooler, they'll take you in the middle of the ocean and show you a very nice view of waikiki, you can see the fishes. it was very scenic!!!!! the staffs are really friendly, they'll give you instructions about what to do and what not to do. Make sure you follow 'em. I will surely try this again for our next visit to honolulu!! PS: bring your sunscreen!! :-)

I was anxious about my first trip to Hawaii, but the instructors spoke Japanese and, above all, they taught us with great care, making it a fulfilling experience. I definitely want to sign up here again next time.

初めてのハワイで不安でしたが、日本語が話せるイントラクターの方々でしたし、そしてなにより丁寧に教えてくださり、充実した時間となりました。次も是非こちらで申し込みたいと思いました。

The dolphin tour we initially planned was suddenly canceled three days before departure, so I quickly searched online and found this tour. There were similar sailing options, but since we were staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, we decided on this tour. I felt reassured that VELTRA confirmed the reservation at the time of booking.

On the day of the tour, it rained in the morning... I thought it might get canceled, but by the afternoon, the rain cleared, and we departed from the beach as scheduled! Once we were out at sea, we set the sails and let the wind and waves guide us... At this point, the refreshing feeling was indescribable! The view from the sea of Waikiki and Diamond Head was also amazing. There was only one other family besides us participating, so we were able to take our time taking photos and videos on board. The taste of beer on the water was the best.

The captain and staff were very friendly, and they provided explanations in Japanese on board.

We thoroughly enjoyed the one-hour sailing. We didn't see any dolphins, but we were very satisfied. (o^－^o)

当初予定していたドルフィンツアーが出発3日前に突然の中止になり 急遽ネット検索し、このツアーにたどり着きました。同じ様なセーリングもあったのですが ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジに宿泊していたのでこのツアーに決めました。VELTRAは申し込と同時に予約確定か否かが分かるので安心しました。

当日は朝から雨･･これはcancelになるかと思いきや午後には雨も上り予定通りビーチから出発❗沖に出ると帆を張り風任せ 波任せ･･ここまでくると何とも言えない爽快感ﾃﾞｽ❗海から見るワイキキからダイヤモンドヘッド迄の景色も素晴らしかった。参加者は私達の他にファミリーが1組のみ･･船上ではゆったり写真や動画を撮る事が出来ました。海上でのビールの味も最高
キャプテンを始めstaffはとてもフレンドリー 船上では 日本語で説明してくれます。

1時間のセーリングを満喫しました。イルカは見られなかったけど大満足しました。(o^－^o)

We challenged ourselves to go parasailing as part of our honeymoon trip! Before flying, I was so nervous that I thought about backing out, but the moment we took off, all those feelings disappeared. It was incredibly exhilarating and so much fun! We kept talking about how glad we were that we did it afterward.

You can also get photos taken for about $30, and the staff were cheerful and great! Although I didn't understand much English because they spoke quickly, it was helpful that they sometimes communicated important points in Japanese.

The transportation service was kind and made us feel safe during both pick-up and drop-off!

新婚旅行のイベントとしてパラセイルにチャレンジしました！
飛ぶ前はビビリすぎて辞退しようかと思いましたが
飛んだ瞬間、そんな気持ちなど無かったかのように
最高に気持ちよくて、楽しかったです！
これはやってよかったね〜〜と終わった後も話していました。
写真も30ドルくらいで撮っていただけますし、スタッフの方も明るくて良かったです♪
英語もほとんど早くて分かりませんが、重要なとこは日本語で伝えてくれることもあるので助かりました。

送迎の方が送り迎えともに、親切で安心しました♪

I overslept on the day and couldn't make it to the pickup time, but they kindly changed the time for me, and I was able to participate without any issues. The staff were all cheerful and kind, and I had a very enjoyable time! The view of Waikiki from above was beautiful! I would love to participate again!

当日寝過ごしてピックアップ時間に間に合わなかったのに、親切に時間変更していただき無事に参加できました。スタッフの皆さん明るく優しい方々で、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました！上空から見るワイキキは綺麗でしたよ！また参加したいと思いました！

That was an amazing experience for my daughters in their life! The staff was very kind. Someday, I want to try this wonderful time with my daughters again!

That was an amazing experience for my daughters in their life! The stuff was very kind. Someday, I want to try this wonderful time to my daughters again!

I went to Hawaii with my girlfriend and went parasailing. A cheerful driver came to the bus meeting point and always made us laugh! There was also an attentive advisor on site who helped to create a fun atmosphere, so I felt safe getting on. I want to do it again when I go back to Hawaii!＼(^^)／

女友達と一緒にハワイに行き、パラセーリングしました。バスの待ち合わせ場所には明るい運転手が来てくれ常に笑わせてくれました！そして現地には気配りして盛り上げてくれるアドバイザーがいたので安心して乗ることができました。またハワイいったらやりたいです＼(^^)／

The tour was concerning because the pickup was about 20 minutes late. Once we arrived at the site, we had to wait about 20 minutes to board the boat, but we could take our time with the restrooms and such. The end time for the activity was as scheduled, so perhaps the time allocation was generous...?

Once we boarded the boat, we could see many swimming sea turtles and fish from above, which really boosted our excitement! They also gave us bread, and we could feed the fish while waiting. Water, Lay's chips, and Doritos were all-you-can-eat♪

As for the snorkeling cruise, it was cold until we got in... I had to dive in, and at that moment, it was so cold that I felt like I might have a heart attack... I couldn't take my time because there was a line, and it was panic-inducing, which was the worst. However, once we started, the underwater scenery was beautiful, and they took photos with my camera, creating wonderful memories! I got to touch many fish and even swam with a sea turtle, albeit from a distance♪

However, the waiting time on the boat was long, and by the time we returned, I was pale from seasickness and the cold... It's necessary to have motion sickness medication and, depending on the season, some light warm clothing.

ツアーは、送迎が20分くらい遅れて心配になりました。現地についても20分くらい船に乗るまでひたすら待つ時間がありましたが、トイレ等はゆっくりできました。アクティビティの終了時刻は予定通りだったので、余裕のある時間配分になっているのでしょうか・・・？
舩に乗り込んでからは、泳いでいるウミガメや魚が船の上からもたくさん見えてかなりテンションがあがります！パンもくれて、待っている間餌付けもできました。
水とレイズとドリトスは食べ放題です♪
肝心のシュノーケルクルーズですが、入るまで寒かった。。。一度潜って乗るのですが、その時に寒くて心臓発作を起こしそうでキツかったです。。。後がつまっているのでゆっくりも出来ず、パニックで最悪でした。ただ、乗り始めると海の中はとても綺麗で写真も手持ちのカメラでとってくれて、とてもいい思い出になりました！魚もたくさん触れたし、ウミガメも少し遠くですが一緒に泳げました♪
ただし、船の上での待ち時間も長く船酔いして帰るころには寒いしで青ざめていました。。。酔い止めと、時期によってはちょっとした防寒が必要です。

I participated with the mindset of going for 150 meters! I'm not sure if it was the right choice, but it felt really good up in the sky!!

However, during the promised splash into the sea, my calves hit the water's surface hard, and most of my calves ended up with bruises. I couldn't walk for a while because it hurt...

Other than that, the staff was friendly, and I enjoyed chatting with the people on the same boat!

どうせやるなら150mで！と参加しました！
正解だったのかどうかわかりませんが、空の上では、とっても気持ちよかったです!!

ただ、お約束の海にボチャンの時に、ふくらはぎを思い切り海面に打ちつけられ、ふくらはぎのほとんどが青あざになり、しばらく痛くて歩けませんでした。。。

それ以外は、スタッフもフレンドリーだし、同じボートに乗った人とおしゃべりしたり、楽しめました！

An amazing experience made possible by an outstanding company. They are professional, attentive and kind. Highly recommend!!!

Pick up from hotel was great! Scooter ride was really fun and you get up close to the fish!

I signed up for the afternoon course and headed to the designated pickup location about 10 minutes before my 1:30 appointment, where they were already waiting for me. There were six Japanese participants and three foreigners, making a total of nine people. Once we boarded the boat and set off, we were handed a paper with safety instructions written in Japanese to read before actually flying, without much explanation. I felt a bit anxious, wondering if everything would be okay, but when I was chosen as part of the first group and was connected to the parachute, I was suddenly up in the air!

Once we were up, the view was all ocean, with Diamond Head visible in the distance—a breathtaking sight that you can only see while parasailing! It was mostly stable up there, so it wasn't scary, but occasionally being buffeted by the wind was quite thrilling! I think we were up for about 10 minutes, but at some point, I started wishing to come down, even though we had plenty of time in the air. The foreigners in our group seemed to have signed up for a lower course, but after seeing the height of our course, I thought theirs looked really low! If you're going to participate, I definitely recommend going for the highest option.

The photos taken during the flight were sold for $30, and you could choose to pay in cash on the boat or with a card once we got to the port. I would definitely recommend paying in cash. I chose to pay by card, but they told me it was $33 instead of $30. I accepted that it might be a card processing fee at the time, but looking back, a 10% fee seems too high. It's better to bring $40 in cash, including a tip for the crew.

I was very satisfied with the parasailing experience itself, but when I looked at the photo disk I bought for $30, I found that more than half of the contents were photos of people I didn't know, and about half of our photos were blurry and unviewable. That's why I'm giving this a one-star deduction.

午後からのコースで申し込み、１時半の約束に対して10分前頃に指定されたピックアップ場所に向かったところ、すでに迎えに来てくれていました。
参加した回は日本人が6人と外国人の方が３人で９人でした。船に乗り込んで出発すると、沖合に出て実際に飛ぶまで、これを読んでおけと注意事項が日本語で書かれた紙を渡されて、特に説明もないまま、大丈夫かな？と不安になりながらも１組目に選ばれて訳のわからないままパラシュートに繋がれると、あっという間に上空にいました！
上がってみると周りは全て海で遠くにダイヤモンドヘッドが見える景色は、パラセイリングでないと見れない最高の景色でした！
上空ではほとんど安定しているので怖くないのですが、たまに風にあおられてヒヤヒヤするのがまさにエキストリームでした！上空にいた時間は10分ぐらいだったと思いますが、途中からもう下ろしてくれと思い始めるぐらい時間は十二分に飛ばせてくれます。一緒の回だった外国人の人達はもっと低いコースに申し込んでいたようでしたが、自分達のコースの高さを見た後にそれを見ると、低っ！と思ってしまうぐらいだったので、参加するならやっぱり１番高いのがいいと思います。
飛んでいる間に撮った写真は３０ドルで販売していて、船の上で現金で渡すか港についてからカードで払うかを選ぶことができるのですが、これは絶対に現金の方がいいです。自分はカードを選んだところ、そこでは３０ドルではなく３３ドルと言われ、カード支払い手数料かな？とその場では納得していましたが、今思えば手数料10％は高すぎますよね。参加する際は船員へのチップと合わせて40ドルは現金で持っていったほうがいいです。
パラセイリング自体は大満足でしたが、30ドルも出して買った写真ディスクを見てみたら、ディスクの中身の半分以上が見たこともない他人の写真で、自分達の写真も半分ぐらいがぶれていて見れたものではなかったのが残念で星１つ減らさせいただきます。

Based on the experience information, I chose this tour and was very satisfied as well. The sense of security was different compared to when I participated in an English-only tour! I was able to focus on snorkeling. I also appreciated the availability of wetsuit rentals on the day.

体験談情報から、このツアーを選び、同じく大満足でした。
英語のみのツアーに参加した時と安心感が違います！シュノーケルに集中できました。
ウエットスーツの当日貸し対応もありがたかったです。

It was my first time paragliding, and as someone who is not good with roller coasters, I thought I would never be able to do it. However, I was encouraged by a friend to give it a try! I didn't expect it to be this much fun! I had an incredibly valuable experience at a low cost. Thank you so much!

人生初めてパラセーリングをしたので、ジェットコースターとかも苦手なわたしは絶対にできないと思っていましたが、友人に勧められ挑戦してみました！終わってみたらこんなに楽しいとは思いませんでした！すっごく貴重な体験が安くできました♡ありがとうございました！

This was my third time in Hawaii, and I experienced parasailing for the first time. I was recommended by my sister to join her, but I was anxious since I’m not good with roller coasters or heights.

I participated in the standard option at a height of 110 meters. Even so, once we were in the air, the view from such a height was beautiful. Even for someone like me who is not good with heights, it felt stable up there, and I wasn't scared. However, looking straight down at the ocean was frightening, so it might be better to focus on the distant scenery.

The parasailing itself wasn’t scary, but when moving from the boat to the open sea, it rocked quite a bit at a fast speed, causing a lot of ups and downs, which made my stomach feel uneasy. I took motion sickness medication just in case, so I was fine, but it might be a good idea to have some on hand.

There were two crew members who were kind, and when we were coming down from parasailing, they made a splash in the sea twice, which was a nice touch. The trolley driver was also a fun person, and I had a very enjoyable time.

ハワイ3度目で初めてパラセーリングを体験しました。妹に薦められ一緒に参加したのですが、私はジェットコースターや高いところなどが、もともと苦手で不安でした。

高度は110メートルの一番スタンダードなものに参加しました。それでも、空にあがると十分高いところから綺麗な景色が見えました。高いところが苦手な私でも空の上は安定していて、怖さはありませんでした。ただ、真下を見ると海で怖いので、遠くの景色を見ていた方が良いかもしれません。

パラセーリング自体は怖くなかったのですが、船から沖まで移動する時、けっこうなスピードで揺れるため、アップダウンが激しく、胃が浮く感じがあります。私は念のため、酔い止めを飲んでいたので、はかずに済んだのですが、酔い止めはあった方がいいかもしれません。

クルーは２人いましたが、親切でパラセーリングが下りてくる時、海ポチャを2回してくれました。サービス精神があって良い方です。トロリーの運転手の方もおちゃめな方で、とても楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました。

I have taken two lessons. Instructor is helpful and patient. He can help you familiar with the steps and assist for your surfing. I have great experience in this school. And now I'm a big fan of surfing, thanks to the teachings.

I always wanted to try parasailing at least once in my life. It was not just about floating in the air; it also provided a great cruising experience.

人生で一度はしてみたかった、パラセイリング　空中の浮遊だけでなく、クルージングでも楽しませてくれました　

I think it's an activity that anyone can easily enjoy underwater, even if they can't swim, since you're just sitting on a scooter. However, it states that your face won't get wet, but when getting off the scooter, you're told to get off in the water, so you end up submerged. For the 4.5 people after the first, they also had to get on the scooter from underwater, so everyone was soaked. Perhaps because there were so many people, the wait time was long, and there was no snorkeling. However, the underwater scenery was beautiful, so I think it's worth experiencing at least once.

スクーターに座っているだけなので、泳げなくても誰でも簡単に水中を楽しめるアクティビティだと思います。ですが、顔が濡れないと記載されていますが、スクーターから降りる際水中で降りろといわれるので、結果水中に潜った形になってしまいます。4.5人目以降の人たちはスクーターに乗る際も、水中から乗る形になっていたので、みんなビショビショでした。人数が多かったせいか、待ち時間が長くシュノーケリングもありませんでした。ですが水中は綺麗だったので一度体験されるといいと思います。

I've been to Hawaii over ten times, and I've always thought, "I want to try this next time!" but I never got around to it. This time, making a reservation with Alawaan was definitely the right choice. Every time I surf at Canoes in Waikiki, I've seen this outrigger canoe and thought, "That looks fun!" I thought I would only get to ride it once or twice, but I ended up going four times and was very satisfied. It was exciting even with small waves, as we picked up speed. Next time, I want to ask for some photos too!

ハワイに10数回来てますが、今度はやりたい！次回はやろう！と思いつつ、なかなか出来ませんでした。今回は事前にアラワンさんで予約をして大正解でした。毎回ワイキキのカヌーズでサーフィンしてる時に、このアウトリーガーカヌーを拝見し・・・『楽しそう♪』と思ってました。1～2回乗るだけかな？と思ってたら4回も乗れて大満足。小波でもスピードが出て面白かったです。次回は写真もお願いしてやりたいと思います！

The weather was nice, and the staff were really great, creating a sense of unity among the participants. It was fun on the boat, and since it doesn't take even half a day, it's perfect!

天気も良く、対応もすごいい人で参加者での一体感もありました。船の中はのりのりで楽しかったです。時間も半日もかからないのでいいです！

I participated with my two college-aged daughters, my 48-year-old mother, and my 81-year-old grandfather. My daughters handled it effortlessly, but my mother found paddling tough and got very tired. Still, she was able to ride the waves a few times and had a lot of fun. My grandfather seemed to have difficulty standing up quickly, but he was happy that he managed to stand for a little while. I was moved to see that brief moment of him standing on the board captured in a photo. We all had a great time together across three generations.

大学生の娘二人と48歳の母、81歳のおじいちゃんと参加しました。娘達は軽々とこなしていましたが母はパドリングが辛くてとても疲れました。それでも何度か波に乗ることができてとても楽しめました。おじいちゃんは素早く立ち上がることが難しようで少しだけ立てたと喜んでいました。おじいちゃんがボードにたった僅かな瞬間が写真に収まっていたので感激しました。三世代で充分楽しめました。

It was my first time surfing, and when the waves came, the instructor pushed the board for me and also taught me when to stand up. It was super fun! I think even kids can do it.

初めてのサーフィンでしたが、波が来た時にインストラクターの方がボードを押してくれ、さらに立ち上がるタイミングも教えてくれて、超楽しかったです。
子供でもできると思います。

I can't ride roller coasters at all, but somehow I managed to fly. However, it was incredibly scary! I was planning to hang my iPhone in a waterproof case around my neck and take pictures from above, but it was more unstable than I expected, and I couldn't let go with both hands. I managed to take some pictures with one hand, but... all the photos turned out slanted. Haha! But it became a great memory.

ジェットコースターとか全く乗れない私ですが何とか飛ぶ事ができました。
ただ、めちゃくちゃ恐かったです！
首から防水ケースに入れたiPhoneぶら下げて上から撮ろうと思ってましたが、思っていたより不安定で両手が離せませんでした。
何とか片手で撮りましたが…
写真は全て斜め。笑
でも良い思い出になりました。
