All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I wasn't very comfortable with heights, so I chose 90 meters, but once I was up there, I forgot my fear because of the beauty of the view. It was amazing to see the beautiful scenery while feeling the refreshing breeze!

高所はあまり得意ではなかったので、90mにしましたが、上がってしまえば景色の美しさに怖さも忘れます。爽快な風を感じながら美しい景色を見れるのが最高でした！！

I experienced parasailing for the first time at the age of 50. I was filled with anxiety about whether I could handle the height of 90 meters, but the chatty driver and the cheerful and kind atmosphere of the boat staff made me excited to take on the challenge. During the descent, we even touched the sea, which was so much fun that I truly felt it was worth it!

Although it wasn't a Japanese tour, there were no issues with gestures and words. In fact, since the participants in the English tour were all foreigners, the atmosphere was lively, and my worries disappeared as I enjoyed myself. I was also happy to have many photos taken for just $30. When I got off the boat, I tipped $20 for each of the two staff members.

50歳にして初めてのパラセイルを体験することに。90ｍの高さに耐えられるか不安でいっぱいでしたが、送迎ドライバーのマシンガントークと、船のスタッフの陽気で親切な雰囲気で
ワクワクチャレンジする気持ちが上回りました。途中降下して海につけられるのですが
それすらも楽しめる程とっても楽しかったです。本当にやってよかった！
日本語ツアーではないですが、ジェスチャーと単語で何の問題もありません。
むしろ英語ツアーで参加者も外国人だけだったので雰囲気も盛り上がり、不安も吹き飛んで
楽しめました。写真も30ドルでたくさん撮ってもらえてよかった。
握手して船を降りるときに、チップを20ドル×スタッフ2名分渡しました。

I participated in a certain popular dinner cruise on an optional tour two days ago, but it was a bit disappointing, and the weather wasn't great, so I made a last-minute reservation the day before. The cruise started at 1 PM, and the weather was perfect! We had a great time getting splashed with water occasionally.

There were no other Japanese participants besides our family, but it wasn't a problem at all. If you want to enjoy drinks on the yacht, please bring some cash. We only brought a plastic bag and a water bottle. The plastic bag was for storing our flip-flops when boarding the yacht; otherwise, we would have had to leave them on the sandy beach at the boarding area.

It feels amazing, so I recommend this over the certain dinner cruise! Since it can get hot, don't forget a hat or a hoodie. My husband and I didn't get seasick at all, but our middle school daughter felt a bit queasy towards the end.

オプショナルツアーで一番人気の某ディナークルーズに２日前に参加したのですが、ちょっと期待ハズレだったのとお天気に恵まれなかったので急遽前日に予約を入れて参加しました。13時からのクルーズでお天気最高！時々かぶる水しぶきにずぶ濡れになりながら楽しい時間を過しました。
日本人は私達家族の他は参加していませんでしたが特別困ることもなかったです。ヨットで飲み物を飲みたい方多少の現金を持って行って下さい。私達はビニール袋とペットボトルのみ持参で参加しました。ビニール袋はヨットに乗る時にビーチサンダルを入れるためです。でないとヨット乗り場の砂浜にビーチサンダルを置いていくハメになります。
最高に気持ちいいので某ディナークルーズに行くならこちらをオススメします！暑いので帽子かパーカーなどをお忘れなく。船酔いは私と主人は全くしませんでしたが、中学生の娘は後半に少し酔いました。

The best of tour plusses without the negatives. You spend most of your time at the location you choose and doing the activity you choose. Justin was very knowledgeable and personable. He let us choose our activity on site and even let people customize it by picking 2 morning activites and no afternoon ones. It was awesome.

I boarded the boat as a visitor due to feeling unwell, but I had a very enjoyable time. I requested an SD card on board, and it had a lot of cuts, which made me feel like I got a great deal.

体調不良で見学者としてボートに乗り込みましたが、とても楽しい時間でした。SDカードを船上で頼みましたが、これも沢山のカットがあり、お得な気分になりました。

I invited a senior who loves fishing and splurged on the $91 option for a long time of enjoyment, but we returned to port by lunchtime after just a few hours, making it a disappointing cruise. I reflected that next time I need to do better research and confirm details in advance to make the most of our valuable time.

釣りが大好きな先輩を誘って長い時間楽しめる91ドルの方を奮発したのに、午前中でお昼には寄港し、物足りないクルーズでした。次回はもっと事前確認を良くして大事な時間を有意義に過ごせるように調べて申し込まなければいけないと反省しました。

Went with another couple..I wasn't sure what to expect since I've never been on any type of tour via water and there were only a few reviews.

But we're so glad we did. The crew was fantastic! Josh cracked jokes and made us feel welcome. Brad and Karin (spelling?) were great to talk to...they refilled our drinks and also took pictures.

It was laid back, great atmosphere, and beautiful view. Can't wait to do it again!

We were so excited that we got to stay longer than others and even dropped three times! I think paying $30, including the SD card, for 100 to 140 photos is a great deal. It was my second time, but if I ride again, I would love to come back here!

私たちがとても盛り上がってたせいか、他の人たちよりも長く、かつ3回も落としてもらえました！写真も100枚～140枚撮ってもらえてSD代含め30ドルは安いと思います。2回目だったけどまた乗るならここがいいなと思いました！

I was just observing, but everyone seasoned the fish they caught deliciously, and I was able to eat it! We changed locations about three times every 40 minutes, and luckily, we were able to see dolphins too!

私は見学でしたが、みんなが釣った魚を美味しく味付けしてくれて食べることが出来ました！約40分ごとに3回程場所を変え、運良くイルカを見ることも出来ました！

This was everything the other positive reviews said it would be. The crew was patient and thorough in gearing you up and explaining what to expect. They explained what to do in the event of a number of potential issues. But just as importantly, they were friendly, clearly happy to be doing what they were doing and happy to have us aboard.

We got picked up by a fun shuttle driver who quickly got us to the dock and back to our hotel.

I highly recommend Hawaiian Parasail. A good value and a great activity in paradise!

It was my first time parasailing in Hawaii. I was a bit anxious about whether I would spin in the air because of the strong winds, but once I was up there, it felt amazing and I didn't feel any fear at all. The staff took photos for us, so I have another wonderful memory to cherish. I didn't even need to wear a swimsuit since I didn't get wet at all. They also taught us how to take off and land carefully. It was so much fun! Thank you!

ハワイでははじめてのパラセール。
風が強くて空中回転しないか⁉と不安もあったけれど　上がってみるととても気持ちがよく恐怖などなにも感じませんでした。　写真もスタッフが撮ってくれたので　楽しい素敵な思い出がまた一つ増えました。
水着着用の必要性は無いほど濡れる事もなかったです。離発着も丁寧に教えてくださいました。
楽しかった‼ありがとう

I enjoyed this activity with my wife. I remember
fantastic views under the sea, there were beautiful fishes and turtle. We did snorkel during waiting for undersea bicycling. Thank you for giving us great memory.

Such an incredibly fun experience for the family! It helped that weather conditions were optimal during our adventure, but what made it complete was the friendly and professional staff and crew. They were all so engaging and took time to personally interact with all the guests. We felt completely safe at all times the view from above was amazing! I highly recommend Hawaiian Parasail.

When we went on the cruise for our 25th anniversary, the weather was clear and we felt very welcomed by the friendly crew. We also got offered a free drink at the bar as were the other guests. My wife and I enjoyed the relaxing breeze on the tour accompanied with the warm sun. On the boat, we saw gorgeous views of Diamond Head and Waikiki and also took a lot of pictures. While on the boat, we didn't feel any bumps and the trip was very smooth. When we go to Hawaii again, we'll definitely go on this cruise. I highly recommend this cruise for anybody travelling with friends, family, or as a couple.

When we went on the Waikiki Glass Bottom tour in Hawaii for our 25th anniversary, we were greeted very warmly and we felt very welcomed. Although it was raining, we still felt comfortable because of the crew and were offered free drinks. During the boat ride, we saw coral, tropical fish, and even sea turtles! We took lots of pictures of the stunning scenery of Waikiki and the Diamond Head. The crew also explained the history of Waikiki and made the tour more interesting so that every moment was enjoyable. Next time we come to Hawaii, we will definitely be going on the tour again. We highly recommend this great vacation tour for anyone travelling with friends, family, or as a couple.

The trip was amazing. We went the first week of September so there wasn't much turtles or whales. It wasn't the season yet. It was still extremely fun and enjoyable. I went with my grandma and her or I did not get seasick! I recommend this for anyone who wants to relax at sea with a bit of adventure! Really great for elders and little kids. They have a net you can sit on. They also have a bar you can purchase alcoholic beverages or sodas! You can also buy a sippy cup so you won't spill your drink! Highly recommend and there's a coupon on Groupon! Take everyone!!! I will be coming back with more family members! Definitely coming back in December for the whales!

This is my second time participating, following last year. My travel companion doesn't snorkel, so I always sign up alone, but both Dan and Chieko talked to me a lot, so I didn't feel lonely at all. I highly recommend this for anyone who is going alone.

They provide thorough snorkeling instruction, so even though it had been a year since my last snorkeling experience, I was able to enjoy seeing the underwater world without any issues.

Photos can be downloaded for free from Facebook. I would like to participate again next time.

昨年に続き、2度目の参加です。旅の同行者はシュノーケルをしないので、毎回一人申し込みなのですが、Danさん、Chiekoさんともにたくさん話しかけてくださり、一人でも寂しくないので、ぜひ一人の方にもお勧めしたいです。
しっかりとシュノーケルの指導をしてくれるので、1年ぶりのシュノーケルでしたがトラブルなく、楽しく海の中を見ることができました。

また次回も参加したいと思います。

It was my first time in Hawaii and my first time parasailing, and it felt absolutely amazing. I chose the 150m option. I usually can't handle thrill rides and have a slight fear of heights, but being over the ocean made it not matter; the feeling and excitement outweighed any fear, so I wasn't scared at all. Crossing a suspension bridge in VR was scarier for me. My wife tends to get motion sickness, and even though she took motion sickness medication, she still felt nauseous.

初めてのハワイ、初めてのパラセーリングでしたが、最高に気持ちよかったです。
150mを選びました。絶叫系ダメ、若干高所恐怖症でしたが、海の上だと気にならないというか、気持ち良さ、や興奮が上回るのでまったく怖くなかったです。VRで高いところで吊り橋渡る方が怖かった。。
嫁は酔いやすい体質で、酔い止め飲んでいましたが酔っていました。

Although I had a little surfing experience in Japan, it was my first time riding waves in Waikiki, especially on a reef! At 49 years old and lacking in stamina, I was exhausted from paddling! During those times, the kind and strong Adam helped me by pulling my board with his feet multiple times! Thanks to Adam, I was able to catch many great waves! Thank you so much! (*^^*)

日本で少しだけサーフィン経験はあったものの、ワイキキ、しかもリーフで波に乗るのは初めて！
49歳、体力の無い私はパドリングで力を使いクタクタに！そんな時優しく力強いアダムさんが足でボードを引っ張り何度も助けてくれました！アダムさんのおかげで、たくさんいい波に乗れました！本当にありがとう(*^^*)

As I read in the reviews, I changed into my swimsuit, grabbed a towel and a few belongings, and headed to the pickup location. I was loaded onto the trolley and signed a paper with the parasailing instructions.

After checking in at the yacht harbor near Ala Moana, we departed with a mix of Japanese and foreign participants, a total of 12 people in 6 groups. Two young guys operated the boat and prepared for parasailing.

After a short while, we took turns putting on the parasailing belts and life jackets. Once the parachute was fully opened and the belts were connected, we gradually ascended into the sky.

The view from above was incredible. Unlike amusement park attractions, being suspended in the middle of the sea and sky, looking down at the unobstructed view of Waikiki Beach, was truly magnificent!

The 10-minute flight was refreshing, with just a little swaying as the boat turned. This kind of experience is part of Hawaii's charm. I definitely want to participate in other activities again!

書き込みで見たように水着に着替え、タオルとわずかな荷物を持ち、ピックアップ場所に行きました。トロリーに乗せられ、パラセーリングの注意事項を書いた紙に署名しました。
アラモワナ近くのヨットハーバーで受付を済ませ、日本人、外国人混載で6組12人を乗せてボートは、ヨットハーバーを出発。
若いお兄さんが二人でボートの運転とパラセーリングの準備をします。
しばらく進んだところで、二人ずつ順番にパラセーリングのベルトを装着し、救命胴着を着せられます。パラシュートが十分に開きベルトが繋がれ、徐々に上空へとロープが伸びていきます。
上空からの見晴らしは最高です。遊園地のアトラクションとは、違い、海と空の真っ只中に放り出され、何も遮るものの無いワイキキのビーチを見下ろす景観は、とても素晴らしかった！！
ボートが旋回する際に揺れるくらいで10分ほどの空の旅は、爽快そのものです。
こんな経験が出来るのもハワイの魅力です。是非、また、他のアクティビティに参加したいです。

Stand-up surfing was easy and fun. However, it was advertised as about 90 minutes, but it ended after 60 minutes.

スタンドアップサーフィンは簡単でしたし楽しかったです。ただ90分程度との案内でしたが60分で終わりました。

What a fun, fast excursion located near Waikiki! We did the 9 AM tour in the morning and it was clear and sunny! The crew has the system down to get all parties in/out of the harness easily and having a great time. They even offered to take pictures and videos for $30 extra which we took advantage of. We had a great time parasailing, and was off to our next adventure!

This was my first time in Hawaii, and I signed up for a tour because I wanted to do stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in the beautiful ocean. It took about an hour by bus from Waikiki to get there. After arriving and receiving an explanation, we had about two and a half hours of free time in the morning. The beach was less than a five-minute walk from the meeting point, so we played at the beach in the morning, had pizza for lunch before the meeting time, and then finally got to do SUP in the afternoon. The waves were strong, so we practiced in a nearby river first before moving to the ocean for SUP. On days with smaller waves, they say you can paddle to a nearby island and take a 30-minute walk on the uninhabited island before returning. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't reach the uninhabited island due to the waves, but I was really satisfied to do SUP in such a beautiful ocean! SUP was also a lot of fun! I definitely recommend it for anyone trying SUP for the first time. After the tour, I wanted to explore Kailua town, but the return bus was scheduled for 2:30 PM, so I couldn't. It seems there are buses that leave around 5 PM depending on availability, so if that's the case, you could visit Kailua town as well. However, I won't know if I can change the bus time until I go on the day. But the beach is so beautiful that you'll want to stay there all day. I thought if you split your schedule between a day at the beach and a day exploring the town, you would have a great time.

初めてのハワイ、キレイな海でSUPしたくてツアーに申し込みました。
ワイキキからバスで1時間くらいで到着。到着して説明受けて、午前中2時間半くらいは自由時間でした。集合場所からビーチまでは5分もかからないくらいだったので、午前はビーチで遊んで、集合時間前にランチのピザ食べて、午後から念願のSUP。波が強くて、わたしたちは最初近くの川で練習して、海に移動してSUPしました。波があんまりない日は、SUPで近くの島まで行って、30分くらい無人島を散歩して帰ってくるそうです。波の影響で無人島まで行けなかったのがちょっと残念でしたが、初のSUPをあんなにきれいな海でできたのは本当に満足です！SUPも楽しかった！初めてのSUPをする人には、絶対おすすめです。ツアーが終わっててカイルアの街に繰り出したかったけど、帰りのバスの時間が14時半とかだったので、できませんでした。空き状況によっては、17時くらいに帰れるバスもあるみたいなので、それだったらカイルアの街も行けると思います。でも、バスの時間が変更できるかどうかは、当日行ってみないと分かりません。でも、ビーチがとにかくきれいなので、一日中ビーチにいたくなります。カイルアは1日ビーチ、1日街の散策とで分けて予定組めば、すごく楽しめると思いました。

This was our first time to parasail and we had a great time. The crew were friendly, skilled and professional. We highly recommend Hawaiian Parasail. We can't wait to go again!

Dan and his wife were lovely and very helpful with the group of 9. Being a first time snorkeler and not a very good swimmer, they were patient with each and every one of us. We saw some lovely fish but unfortunately did not see turtles that day! :( Will definitely be back next time though! 10/10 would recommend especially for first time beginners.

The water was a little rough, but signs were posted every where to be careful. The lifeguard made an announcement & everything was fine.

It was my first experience. Watching others made me feel anxious and scared, but when I actually experienced it myself, it felt like time stood still while floating, and the view was absolutely wonderful. I was glad to have a panoramic view of Waikiki. I also purchased the CD with the photos, and they took such beautiful pictures, so it became a great memory.

初めての体験でした。
ほかの人がしてるのを見てると不安と怖さが出てきましたが、いざ自分が体験すると浮いてる時間が止まってるみたいな感じでとても素晴らしい眺めでした。
ワイキキを一望できて良かったです。
写真のCDデータも購入し、とても綺麗な写真を撮ってくれていたので、いい思い出になりました。

We had our annual trip to Hawaii as a couple, and we spotted parasailing in the sky over Waikiki, so we quickly searched online. We were able to make a reservation for the next day, so we signed up right away. The on-site check-in was conducted in Japanese, but the boat crew spoke only English. However, they explained everything in a cheerful and easy-to-understand manner, so as long as you know some basic English words, it’s not a problem. The experience of flying itself is just so much fun!! The views are great, and the feeling of floating is perfect; there was nothing scary about it. If you have the time, I definitely recommend giving it a try. If there’s availability that day, it seems you can even go for another flight!

夫婦二人での恒例のハワイ旅行、ワイキキの空にパラセイリングが見えたので急遽NETで検索。翌日の予約を受けてもらえたので早速申込み。当日の現地受付は日本語でしてもらえましたが、船のクルーは英語オンリー。でも陽気に分かりやすく説明してもらえるので、簡単な英単語さえわかれば問題ありません。飛ぶ事自体はとにかく楽しい!!景色も良いし、浮遊感もばっちり、なにも怖いことはありませんでした。時間がある方はぜひ体験してください。
その日空いていれば、もう一本飛ぶ事もできるみたいですよ♪

I went fishing in Hawaii for the first time.
I encountered a nice breeze and fish in the best weather Hawaii has to offer.

初めてハワイでフィッシングしました。
ハワイ最高の天気の中、気持ちがいい風と魚達に出会えました(^.^)

We would like to thank the staff of veltra for their outstanding services with helping making our dream vacation a reality, we really enjoyed the Parasail - the staff on the boat were perfect, they took photo which was very nice and then the kids got a little dip at the end which put big smiles on their faces.

Thanks Again
