Oahu
It felt like we were abroad since everyone else was from another country. The weather was nice, and it was a very pleasant sailing experience. I think an hour and a half was just the right amount of time—not too short, not too long.
They were selling drinks for $5, and I wanted to have one, but I decided to skip it just in case I got seasick. The waves were minimal, so I might have been fine to drink. Next time, I’d like to try the sunset cruise.
私たち以外外国の方でしたので海外にいる気分になれました。天気がよくてとても気持ちのいいセーリングでした。1時間半でしたので短すぎず長すぎずよかったと思います。
お酒が5ドルで販売してたので飲みたかったですが、船酔いを心配して念のためやめておきました。揺れは少なかったので飲んでも大丈夫だったかも。今度はサンセットクルーズに参加してみたいですね。
Wow, what an experience! It's the only way to describe the feeling. Out of the choices we did 1000ft. Now it sounded pretty high but that's the only way to do it! Go big or go home! The views of the bay and diamond head were so awesome. The driver kills the engine a few times and it feels like a roller coaster ride. When you're in the air, it doesn't matter that you are so far in the sky and the boat looks so tiny. Such a rush! The guys are super cool and do offer to take pictures for you for a cost. It was like $30 for almost 200 pics. I had a waterproof camera and snapped some pics but not the same. Whatever floats your boat. Also remember that the longer the line, the longer the ride! And when you come back to the boat, you get dunked in the ocean, so refreshing! I was lucky to ride again with a single guy who was doing 300ft. Not even close to the same feeling when you're so much higher. I hope this review helps.
I participated with a friend and their child, making a group of four. We couldn't speak Japanese, but we managed just fine with gestures. The parasailing was completely stable, and I didn't feel nauseous at all. I'm really glad I experienced the wonderful views from the sky!
友人親子と4人で参加。日本語は使えませんがジェスチャーで問題なくOKでした。パラセイリングは全く揺れず、酔うことはありませんでした。空からの素晴らしい景色は体験して本当に良かったです!
I participated with a friend!
It was both of our first times surfing, and we were excited and nervous. The instructor didn't speak Japanese, which made me even more anxious about whether we would understand, but they taught us in slow and gentle English, so we were able to grasp everything.
We practiced on the beach and then headed into the ocean!
The instructor pushed us hard when the waves were good, and I was able to stand on the board and ride the wave on my first try! It was just exhilarating!
After that, the instructor sent us out alternately, which made me feel very secure.
Riding the waves was of course fun, but just floating on the board while waiting for our turns and the waves with my friend felt amazing!
An hour flew by, but by the end, my arms were at their limit, so one hour was just right for beginners.
One thing I definitely recommend is to use sunscreen!!! I don’t usually burn easily, so I didn’t apply much, but since we were lying face down in the water the whole time, my calves and the backs of my thighs got really burned! If you don’t want to get too much sun, please apply sunscreen generously on the back side.
I would love to participate again if I have the chance.
友達と2人で参加させて頂きました!
2人ともサーフィンをするのは初めてで、ワクワクドキドキ。。
先生は日本語を話せない方だったのでちゃんと分かるのか更にドキドキしましたが
英語がたいして分からない私達でも分かるように、ゆっくりと優しい英語で教えて頂けたのでちゃんと理解することが出来ました。
始めビーチで練習をしていざ海へ!!
先生が良い波の時におもいっきり押してくれるので、1回目でボードの上に立ち波に乗ることが出来ました!!
そりゃもう爽快のひと言!!!
その後も友達と交互に先生が送り出してくれるのでとても安心感がありました。
波に乗ってる時ももちろん面白かったのですが、
友達との順番待ちと波待ちの為にボードの上でプカプカ浮いて居るだけで最高に気持ち良かったです!!
あっという間の1時間
しかし、終わる頃には腕に限界がきていたので初心者には1時間がとてもちょうど良かったです。
ひとつ絶対にした方が良いと思うのは、とにかく日焼けどめです!!!
私はあまり日焼けに抵抗が無いので、そんなに塗っていなかったのですが、
なにせずっとうつ伏せで海に浮かんで居るわけですから、ふくらはぎ、太ももの裏側がものすごーーく焼けます!!
あまり焼けたく無いという方はこれでもかって言うくらい、裏側に日焼け止めを塗って下さい。
また機会があったら参加したいです。
My husband and I went on the highest one, 1200, which is described as extreme, but is so fun and extremely relaxing. It feels like you're floating. We're both pretty sketchy about heights, but this was so fun. I want to do it again.
Among the trip to Hawaii with five guys, this activity was particularly memorable and truly addictive. The view of Hawaii from 150 meters above is indescribable, and I highly recommend experiencing it at least once!
I got lost on the way to the meeting point and ended up being late, but they quickly accommodated me by rescheduling to another time.
男5人で行ったハワイ旅行の中でも、特に思い出に残る、本当に病み付きになるアクティビティーでした。上空150メートルから眺めるハワイの景色は、筆舌に尽くしがたく、ぜひ一度体験されてみてはいかかでしょうか!
集合場所までの道で迷ってしまい、予定していた時間には遅れてしまったのですが、すぐに別の時間に回してくれました。
Made my telephone reservation directly with Veltra and the person I spoke to was very helpful and informative, so I was prepared for the day. I have river kayaked for many years, but this was my first experience with sea kayaking, so I wasn't sure how things would go when wind, current, waves and a different style of kayak were added to the mix. I had a great experience with this company! Toby was an excellent instructor and guide and we had a small group, so we received lots of individualized instruction. Beautiful scenery! And Toby shared a lot of Hawaiin history with us which was a nice bonus. My only regret is not taking the 5 hour trip so I could have more paddling time!! Pizza Lunch was good. After lunch, rode a bike 10 minutes to Lanikai beach and enjoyed some great snorkeling! Wonderful day in Oahu!
Was fun!! Hope to visit again Honolulu with other friends so they can try this Xtreme parasailing!and the 2 handsome guys was cool! 1 Keep up the good work!!
This activity is quite easy and can be completed in one hour. I participated in the 9 o'clock course and was back at the harbor by 10. The meeting point at the harbor is just a short distance from the Hilton Hotel. It's a bit hard to find, so I recommend arriving early. Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable activity.
1時間で完了するアクティビティでかなりお手軽です。私は9時からのコースに参加しましたが、10時にはハーバーに戻ってこられていました。集合先のハーバーはヒルトンホテルからすぐのところです。すこしわかりにくいので早めの集合をおすすめします。総じてスムーズ、楽しいアクティビティでした。
I was worried because I have a fear of heights, but when I saw the blue ocean, I felt completely fine! It was a wonderful experience, and I made the best memories!
高所恐怖症で心配でしたが、青い海を見たら全然平気でした!
とっても良い経験ができて、最高の思い出が出来ました!
Nice bay and nice service for a fair preis. Thank you
We did the 600 ft for 6 minutes and wish we would've purchased to get higher! VERY beautiful view, definitely worth it. The take pictures of you for a fee of 30.00 with a SD card to take home with!
Parasailing was my first experience, but the staff's instructions were easy to understand and they were very friendly, so I had a great time! There was a service (for an additional fee) that took pictures of me while I was on the ride, which made for wonderful memories!
パラセーリングは初めての体験でしたが、スタッフの指示はわかりやすくノリが良い方々だったのでとても楽しかったです!
自分が乗ってるところを写真に撮ってくれるサービス(別途料金有)があって良い思い出になりました!
we opted for convenient pickup from our hotel which arrived on time however if you choose to drive - the parking lot seemed empty at the marina. The crew was super friendly and it was a short ride out to open water. Plenty of photo opportunities for Waikiki Beach, surfers and Diamond Head as you had in and out. It wasn't long until the parachute was out and we're up in the air. We did 800 foot line. It's exhilarating yet peaceful up there with great views of the entire island. We were only up there for a few minutes. The crew does take 15-30 pictures while you're up there and will sell it to you for $30 on 4GB SD, which I recommend against it if you already have a GoPro or waterproof camera. Overall I'll say it was a great experience and I do recommend it during your stay.
We'll definitely do this again but with the 1000/1200 foot line.
We had a great tour guide. We selected the beginners package. We had been kayaking before so in retrospect it was not the best option. The kayaking portion lasted about 30 minutes. We spent most of the time exploring the small island we landed on...not what I was expecting.
Aloha and thanks for your great feedback! You bring up a great point. For anyone with experience kayaking or that feels they are physically fit and adventurous, we highly recommend our Twin Islands Guided Kayak Tour (5-Hours). The 2-Hour Guided Kayaking Excursion is designed specifically for beginners and those who are unsure of their kayaking and ocean ability. Its a perfect introduction to sea kayaking for most beginners. Thanks again for the feedback and we hope you'll be able to join our Twin Island Tour some day. Thanks,
We had so much fun and were glad that we can all 3 go at the same time. Would recomend this to all our friends that go and visit.
This was my first time participating! Although I have a fear of heights, I wanted to feel the wind and sky of Hawaii, and thought I might be able to do it if I was with my husband, so I decided to join!
My husband was okay with going higher, but since it was our first time, we signed up for 90 meters!
There were a total of five groups: two foreign couples and families, a Japanese couple and family, and us.
We were quite anxious since we don't speak any English, but the staff, including the drivers, could speak a little Japanese, so there were no problems at all.
The staff helped us with putting on the equipment, so without any explanation, we were ready to go up into the sky!
During the parasailing, I was a bit scared thinking it might sway or feel floaty, but it was hardly like that, and it was incredibly fun!! I was very satisfied to feel the beautiful sea, blue sky, and the wind of Hawaii!
I highly recommend it to everyone!
We also requested photos! We had some fun expressions during the water splash moments that we had never seen before. They took a lot of great shots, which became wonderful memories.
I was worried about seasickness, but I took motion sickness medicine and tried to look as far away as possible, and it was totally fine.
The staff's service was great, so I definitely encourage everyone to participate! Next time, I will challenge myself to go a little higher!
初めて参加しました!
高所恐怖症の私ですが、ハワイの風と空を感じたくて
主人と一緒なら飛べるかも?!と参加を決意!
主人はもっと高くてもよかったのですが、初めてということもあり
90メートルに申込みました!
参加者は外国のカップルと親子の2組と
日本人カップルと家族、私たちの合計5組でした。
私たちは英語が全くダメなので不安でしたが、
スタッフの方は送迎の方も含めて日本語が少しできるので
何も問題なかったです。
装具をつけたりするのも全部スタッフの方がしてくださるので
何も説明がなくてもすぐに空へGO!でした。
パラセイル中、揺れたりふわっとしたりするのかなと少し恐怖感がありましたが
ほとんどそんなことはなく、めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです!!
きれいな海と青い空、ハワイの風を感じることができ大満足!
みんなにもおすすめしています!
写真も頼みました!
水ポチャの瞬間とか見たことのない楽しそうな表情の私たちでした。
本当にたくさん連写でとって頂き、いい記念になりましたよ。
船酔いも心配しましたが、酔い止めをしっかり飲み
なるべく遠くをみていたりしたら全然大丈夫でした。
スタッフの方の対応も良いので、ぜひ皆さんも参加してみてくださいね!
つぎはもう少し高いのを挑戦します!
Awesome experience. Recommended for first timers.
The pickup went as scheduled, and both the driver and local staff spoke a little Japanese, so it was okay! The parasailing was truly amazing!!
迎えも予定どうりで、ドライバーも現地スタッフも日本語が少し話せるからOkです!
パラセールは本当に最高でした!!
We were on a boat with a foreign family of five, two Canadian women, and a Japanese newlywed couple. We ended up going last in line, and since the boat was moving around quite a bit during everyone’s parasailing, I felt a little nauseous. However, once we were up in the air, it felt great to see the distant Waikiki Beach. It was a bit startling when the boat swayed to the right and left, but I was okay. The family ordered a $30 photo, but we decided to take pictures with the newlyweds and exchange them later via email.
私達夫婦と外国人の5人家族&2人のカナダ人女性&日本人の新婚さんと一緒のボートでした。
順番が一番最後になってしまい、皆のパラセイリングの時にボートがかなり走りまわるので少し気分が悪くなりましたが、上空では遠くワイキキビーチあたりを見ていると気持ちよかったです。右・左のフワフワと揺れるとヒヤッとしましたが平気でした。
家族の方は30ドルの写真を頼んでいましたが、私達は新婚さんと写真を取り合って、後でメールで交換しましょうという事にしました。
I requested a guided tour, but it felt like they just wanted us to follow along on our own. They were supposed to send the photos they took later, but I haven't heard anything. It probably depends on the guide, but I was disappointed with Mark.
ガイド付きツアーを頼みましたが、勝手について来いみたいな感じでした。撮ってくれ写真も後から送ってくれるはずだったのに連絡なし。ガイドによると思いますがマークにはガッカリしました。
We sincerely apologize for not being able to provide a service that meets your satisfaction. We deeply regret that the photos taken by our guide, as a courtesy, did not reach you. We have confirmed with the local operating company, but it appears that the photo data has not been saved. We have translated your feedback into English and contacted the operating company. We have also communicated to instruct the guide in question. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback.

We had an amazing time. The Captain & Crew were fabulous!!! Loved every minute of it.
Our driver AC was great recommend excursion learned a lot great views
I so so so recommend the Surf Bus!! It was one of the best ways to see and experience North Shore! The driver was the best! He have great information and was so funny!! The paddle board was amazing, waterfall beautiful and the beach with snorkeling just awesome!! I recommend wearing water shoes as the rocks can be a little hard on your feet...(waterfall and snorkeling areas) Hands down best your we took!
I experienced this with my sister.
◎ Good points
- Many staff members speak Japanese
- I had never surfed before, but it was surprisingly easy to ride
- The ocean is incredibly beautiful
- I saw sea turtles!
- The lunch (PIZZA) was really delicious
- They took photos of us on the water and sent them all via email
◎ Bad points
- The locker room is small, very cold, and co-ed
- You have to carry the surfboard to the ocean yourself
(Moreover, after being guided initially, no one came with us, so we got lost!!!)
- There was little free time in the afternoon
- They dropped us off at the hotel on the way back, but the pickup was at a nearby hotel
Although I mentioned some bad points, overall it was really great!
I'm not sure if the price is cheap for what you get...
But I didn't have the impression that it was expensive.
I was worried because I'm not very good at swimming, but I didn't fall into the ocean, and I felt the waves and enjoyed the scenery on the board... it was very soothing!
Kailua is a popular spot among locals, so I'm really glad I went.
The ocean in Waikiki is also incredibly impressive, but this was even more beautiful and moving!!!
姉と2人で体験しました。
◎良かった点
・日本語が話せるスタッフが多い
・サーフィンやったことなかったが、意外と簡単に乗れた
・海がとにかくキレイ
・ウミガメが見れた!
・ランチ(PIZZA)がすごく美味しい
・海の上で写真を撮ってくれ、E-mailで全部送ってくれた
◎悪かった点
・ロッカールームが狭い、すごく寒い、男女共同
・海まで自分でサーフボードを運ぶ
(しかも最初に道案内されただけで誰も付き添いにきてくれないため
道に迷いました!!!)
・午後の自由時間が少ない
・帰りはホテルで降ろしてくれたが、ピックアップは近くのホテル集合だった
悪かった点も挙げてますが、総合的にすごく良かったです!
お値段がこれで安いのかどうかは分かりませんが・・・。
高かった印象は残りませんでした。
泳ぎがあまり得意ではないので心配してましたが、
海に落ちることもなく、ボードの上で波を感じて景色を見て・・・とても癒されました!
カイルアは現地の人にも人気のスポットなので、行けて本当に良かったです。
ワイキキの海でもすっごく感動しますが
それ以上にキレイで感激しました!!!
Nice time and wonderful people from start to finish.
Unique and fun experience evan for seniors such as myself. My older brother and I had a great time.
It was an attraction.
It was quite high and thrilling.
The view was beautiful, and I was satisfied.
I got the impression that Japanese people tend to go higher because they are smaller in stature.
The waiting time for the boat and the return car felt long.
Overall, the waiting times in America were long, especially.
I asked someone to take a picture with my camera, but they said it would cost $30, so I declined.
It seems they use a DSLR with a telephoto lens to take the pictures.
アトラクションです。
結構高さがありスリルがありました。
景色もきれいで満足しています。
日本人は身体が小さいので高く上がるみたいです。
船に乗る待ち時間、帰りの車の待ち時間が長い印象がありました。
全体的にアメリカでは待ち時間は長かったですが、特に。
自前のカメラのシャッターを押してくれよう頼みましたが、
写真は30ドル必要とのことでしたので断りました。
一眼レフの望遠で撮ってくれるようです。
kayaking was fun great work out great view snorkeling was cool got to see some fish and bbq was really good
It was my first time parasailing in Hawaii, so I was nervous, but I was relieved that my broken Japanese was understood and there were Japanese instructions available. There were four groups of participants, and everyone was very kind, waving when we took off and applauding when we landed. The atmosphere was very friendly throughout. It felt amazing while flying too!
ハワイでのパラセイルは初めてだったので、ドキドキでしたが、片言の日本語は通じ、日本語の説明書もあり安心しました★参加者が皆で4組いましたが、飛び上がるとき皆手を振ってくれたり降りてきたとき拍手してくれたりなど、とても皆優しく、終始和やかでした。飛んでる時もとても気持ち良かったです!!
I was greeted pleasantly by Kerri as soon as I got there. I checked in and didn't wait long before we got on the boat. While I was a bit nervous and scared of heights, I can tell you that this is a safe activity and far more fun than I could have imagined. The guys on the boat were great and friendly to talk story with. The views were absolutely stunning of the Waikiki skyline and I could see sweeping views of Diamond Head and the southern portion of the Ko'olau Mountains. This is way more fun than being on an airplane! I highly recommend parasailing for people who love water sports or just want to have a good time.
