All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

It was cloudy with a chance of rain, and we were told it might be canceled, but the rain stopped and we were able to experience it. (The people from the earlier time had their experience canceled due to the rain.)
It was so much fun while flying!!
Whether or not you choose the photo option affects the duration of your stay in the air. Since we said we didn't need photos, we were brought down faster than those who were taking pictures. Also, some people who got motion sickness had their experience canceled, so I think it's better to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

曇りのち雨で、もしかしたらキャンセルかもと言われていましたが、雨が止み体験可能となりました。（前の時間の人たちは雨のため、キャンセルとなっていました。）
飛んでいる時はとっても楽しい！！
写真のオプションをつけるか、つけないかで空中の滞在時間が変わります。写真はいらないと言った私たちは、写真を撮る人たちよりも早く下ろされました。また、船酔いしてしまった人もキャンセルとなっていたので、しっかり酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいと思います。

I was worried because it was raining in the morning, but the sun peeked out along the way, and I was able to see a very beautiful sandbar! However, it was indeed cold in February.

朝雨が降っていたので、心配していましたが途中から晴れ間がのぞき、とても綺麗なサンドバーが見れました！ただやはり2月は寒かったです。

We participated because the kids wanted to go parasailing. It was higher than we imagined, and the parents were scared, but the kids said it was the best part of the trip. The meeting point with the voucher was a bit unclear, but we received a tour reservation email the day before, so we were able to gather without any confusion. It was also a plus that it was very close to the hotel.

子供達がパラセイリングがしたいということで参加しました。想像以上の高さで、親は怖かったけど、子供達はこの旅で1番よかったらしいです。バウチャーだと待ち合わせ場所がいまいちでしたが、前日にツアー予約メールがくるので、迷わず集合できました。ホテルからすぐだったのも良いポイントでした。

We were in Waikiki and I was able to book on Wednesday for a snorkeling trip on Friday. We were picked up on time, Veltra had all the supplies we needed (get an umbrella...there's no shade and you are there for a long time). The bay was beautiful. They picked us up from the bay on time. We had an amazing day. Thanks, Veltra!!!

So much fun, everyone is so friendly and such high energy. Good value for money. 10/10 would defiantly recommend.

The Bay itself is amazing.
Hotel pickup and drop off was on time. Everyone very Nice and polite.

The One thing i didint like was that they ask You for You to bring cash to pay for the entrance. And give your money to another guest, and ask Himmler to pay for the whole party. Is confusing and weird. Specially after finding Out that at the entrance the DO accept cards.

My group consisted of friends/couples and one 8 month old baby. We booked this excursion without any of us having done this before and we all said we’d go back and do it again if we could! First off, the booking information and communication emails and texts were very helpful for day of event reminders. The instructions in the emails and texts were pretty detailed and easy to follow along. Once we arrive at the harbor, check in process and safety guide getting on to the boat was seamless and even allowed our large party that all booked separately to group up and grab a table together. Lunch was promptly served(we took the afternoon tour) and we took off for the sandbar. We booked the all-inclusive activities and I definitely recommend it for those who are more active/thrill seekers! There are safety guidelines that the crew goes over with you in detail to ensure safety for all passengers and I really appreciated that since our group had some hesitant or nervous to do the water activities. While we did have an 8month old infant with us and brought her own life vest, the crew came by to offer all infants and children life vests during their safety checks. We did all the inclusive activities offered and was still able to relax in the sandbar water and climb up to the floating lounge to hang out before we headed back to the harbor. The live music was phenomenal(I’m biased as a hula dancer maybe) and my group and I even got up to perform a hula for the other passengers and crew. The crew was friendly, informative, and playful which are all things that I hope for on fun excursions!

a little chilly but amazing view!
music and song was really good.
Great singer!

A great day to kayak, just the right amount of clouds and right amount of wind. Going try again, went to the one of the small islands, want to check out the sand bar next time.

I did the secret island back in 2015, and it truly felt like a secret island. The amount of people that were there at that time were the same amount of people on the boat. Now it is overhwelmed 10 fold of people. From the previous time going and present activities to do, they added a couple more presently. One of which checking out the turtles.
Anyways its still fun, especially with someone else.

The captain and his helper were very kind and welcoming.
They could have explained the sitting stance 2 x to make sure the kids understood but besides that We all had an amazing time and we will definitely come back to you guys on our next trip out.

We participated as a family of five with children aged 6 and 7!
As we moved by boat, the color of the sea clearly changed, and the emerald green water was so beautiful that it left us in awe.
This time, the water depth was up to the adults' waists, which made it a perfect opportunity for our first challenges with snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and canoeing! The kids were able to touch the bottom, so we could enjoy ourselves safely until the end!
However, it was a bit cold, and my 6-year-old son, who couldn't touch the bottom, got scared and cried, retreating to the boat right away. I was a bit disappointed because I wanted him to play a little longer...
Next time in the summer, I strongly hope to join when we can see the sandbar in its true form!!
This time, the kids wanted to ride the banana boat and the tube, so we all participated, and they all said it was the best!!
Thank you for ensuring a safe environment with proper supervision!
I'm really glad we participated!

6.7.9歳の子連れ家族5人で参加しました！
船で移動すると明らかに海の色が変わり、エメラルドグリーンの海がとてもキレイで感動しました。
今回は大人の腰上辺りまでの水深だったため、シュノーケリング、サップ、カヌーは初めてのチャレンジするのにちょうど良かったです！子どもたちも足がついたので、安心して最後まで楽しむことができました！
ただ少し寒かったので、6歳の息子は脚もつかないため怖かったのか号泣してすぐ船に撤退してしまいました笑 もう少し遊んで欲しかったので残念、、、
次は夏、是非サンドバーの本来の姿か見れるタイミングで参加したいと強く思いました!!
今回は子どもたちがバナナボートとチューブをしたいと言ったので、そちらもみんなで参加して子どもたちは最高だった！！と口を揃えて話しています。
安全に過ごせるよう監視体制もしっかりして下さり、ありがとうございました！
参加して本当に良かったです！

When we were planning our honeymoon trip to Oahu, my parents discouraged us from using a rental car, and I felt a bit sad thinking, "Oh, we can only sightsee around Waikiki..." While trying to find a way to enjoy areas outside of Waikiki on our own, I came across this tour!!

Since I can't speak any English and couldn't use a rental car, having a shuttle service with Japanese-speaking staff was truly reassuring ( ; ; ) Ai and Natsue kindly guided us to local recommended spots like snorkeling points and shopping areas, and Tomo, who provided the shuttle service, was very friendly. His speaking to us in Japanese made us feel at ease right from the moment he picked us up (＞＜).

We were blessed with great weather, and both Kailua and Lanikai had stunning views, making for an exciting snorkeling experience with my husband!! I highly recommend this tour to everyone ⭐︎ Thank you so much!!!

新婚旅行でオアフ島に行く計画をしていたとき、レンタカーでの行動を両親に止められてしまい「あ〜、ワイキキ周辺しか観光できないのか...」と寂しい気持ちになっていました。
どうにか自分たちの足でワイキキ以外の地域も堪能できないかと調べていた時に、このツアーを見つけました！！
英語が全く話せず、レンタカーも使えないため、送迎付きで日本語スタッフの方に対応いただけたのは、本当に心強くて安心でした（ ; ; ）
あいさん、なつえさんがシュノーケルポイントやショッピングできる場所など現地のおすすめスポットをとても丁寧に案内してくださり、送迎してくださったトモさんも気さくで、日本語で声をかけてくださったおかげでお迎えの時点からとても安心感がありました(＞＜)
天気にも恵まれて、カイルアもラニカイも景色がとても綺麗で夫と興奮しながらシュノーケリングしました！！このツアーはみなさんにおすすめしたいです⭐︎
本当にありがとうございました！！！

I found the catamaran and understood the meeting point, but the reception was not open at the meeting time, so there was a bit of a wait. After the reception ended, there was more waiting, but when the catamaran that had been docked suddenly started moving out to sea, I felt a bit anxious. Since no passengers were on board, I thought it would be fine. We moved to the boarding area and boarded again. As mentioned in other people's experiences, there were hardly any Japanese people, just our family. Communication with the staff was not established, but it wasn't a problem. They asked if we wanted drinks, and we could respond in simple English. We encountered whales while sailing. It was a windy day, but it wasn't too bumpy, which was reassuring. I was wondering whether to prepare motion sickness medication, but this time I was fine. Occasionally, we got splashed with water, but I enjoyed that too. We could also see the other side of Diamond Head. There were various sailing options, and I was unsure which one to choose, but if you just want to enjoy sailing, I think this one is affordable and recommended. I sat under the sail, which provided shade and was a nice spot. Thank you very much.

カタマランを見つけて集合場所を理解でしましたが受付は集合時間にはオープンしておらず少し待ち時間があります
受付が終了してそこからまた待ち時間がありますが、停泊していたカタマランが突然動き始め海へ出た時は少し焦りました
誰も客が乗車していなかったので問題ないだろうとは思いましたが
乗船場所まで移動して改めて乗船しました
他の方の体験談にもありましたが日本人はほとんどおらず私たち家族だけです
スタッフとの会話も成立しませんが特に問題ありません
ドリンクはいりませんか、と確認してくれますが簡単な英語で返答可能です
セーリング中にクジラにも遭遇しました
風の強い日でしたが、それほど揺れなくて安心
酔い止めを用意しようか迷っていましたが今回はなんともありませんでした
時折水しぶきがかかりますがそれも楽しめました
タイヤモンドヘッドの反対側も見ることができます
さまざまなセーリングの選択肢がありどれにしようか迷いましたが
セーリング自体を楽しみたいだけであればお安くておすすめだと思います
帆の下に座りましたが、ちょうど帆の影になって日陰でよい場所でした
ありがとうございました

We had a great time. Picked us up in Waikiki, got on cat for 15 min and had a light lunch and swam and snorkeled. Everyone was fantastic. The two men playing music was a treat. Great time on a full boat!

You can choose the height and splash options! However, when I went, no one asked me anything, so if you have a specific request, you need to say it directly (English only).

They took photos from the boat for $40, and it was worth it! I really enjoyed it! Although I intended to buy them, it was also a great memory to have someone from the next group record a video for me on my phone. We were both asking each other to take turns taking pictures.

Some people brought their phones up, so if you want to take photos up there, it's good to have a waterproof case! I was too scared to bring mine up in case I dropped it.

It was incredibly beautiful and fun! The atmosphere was very nice, and it felt friendly and cheerful.

It would be great to do this on a sunny day, and it might be even better at sunset! 😊

高さや水ポチャも選べる！とありましたが、行っても何も聞かれなかったので、もし絶対これがいい！などリクエストがあれば直接言う必要があります。（英語のみ対応）
船上から写真を撮ってくれて40$でしたが、買って損はなし！良かったです！
買うつもりではいたものの、携帯で次の組の人に、動画を回しておいてもらったのも良い思い出です。結構お互いお願いします〜っと言った感じで撮りあってました
携帯を持って上に上がる方もいましたので、上で写真撮りたい方は、防水ケースがあると良いです！
私は落としたら怖すぎたので、持っては上がりませんでした。

すっごく綺麗で、楽しかったです！
雰囲気も非常によく、和気藹々とした感じでした

晴天でやっても良いですし、夕暮れにやっても最高かもしれません☺️

Check-in starts at 8:30 at the desk located just before the pier. Three cheerful female crew members operate the boat. Shortly after departure, we were welcomed by a whale. After a round trip towards Diamond Head, we took a break around Turtle Canyon, where we could see a few turtles. It was about an hour of sailing while quenching our thirst with soft drinks. There's nothing particularly special, but for this price, I was very satisfied.

8時半から桟橋手前にひとり座っているデスクでチェックイン。
女性3人のクルーが元気良く操船してくれる。
出航早々クジラのお出迎え。ダイアモンドヘッド方面往復後、タートルキャニオン周りでひと休み。少しカメも見られる。
ソフトドリンクで喉を潤しながら小一時間のセーリングでした。
特殊なことは何もないけどこの値段なら大満足。

It was so much fun! When coming down, I dipped my butt in the sea a bit, then they lifted me up a little, and after that, I was collected by the boat. I felt reassured because I wasn't dropped completely into the sea!

めちゃ楽しかったです！降りてくるときにお尻くらいは海につけて、また少し上げてくれて、それからボートに回収される感じでした。がっつり海に落とすようなことはないので安心でしたね！

It was a great trip the crew was amazing the music was great the floating dock was nice my wife liked that the volleyball was super fun the snorkeling my kids loved .

We had a wonderful time in Hanauma Bay with our awesome guide, who was knowledgeable and patient. Transportation was very convenient and comfortable. We would highly recommend!

The tour with Dan and Chieko, who are well-versed in Hanauma Bay, was fantastic. They guided us through a great course that matched the day's sea conditions. Even as someone who isn't confident in swimming, I received kind support and was able to enjoy it safely. The bay's conditions were good, and I was able to see many beautiful fish and sea turtles! I definitely want to participate again when I visit Oahu!

ハナウマ湾を熟知されたDanさんとちえこさんのツアー。その日の海のコンディションに合わせて良いコースを泳いでいただきました。泳ぎに自信のない私でも親切にサポートしていただき、安全に楽しむことができました。湾のコンディションも良く、たくさんの綺麗な魚やウミガメをみることが出来ました！またオアフ島に行った際は是非参加したいです！

It was an unfortunate day with light rain and cloudy skies, a bit chilly, but the sea was very calm, and the instructors were very kind, making it a fun experience! They taught us various things, including where to find sea turtles, and we were able to see them up close!

あいにくの天候で小雨に曇り少し肌寒い日でしたが、海はとても穏やかでインストラクターの方々もとても親切で楽しく過ごせましたー！
ウミガメもどこにいるかなど色々教えてくださってちゃんと近くでみれました！

I never tried scuba diving and I can't swim well so I was worried but the scuba diving team was amazing.
They were very attentive and helped each diver in the group to ensure we had a great time in the water. The lagoon is in the city very close to Waikiki Beach but not crowded. It is a beautiful and quiet place. It felt very safe.
We saw corals and many different fish and we got a few short videos of the experience as part of the tour.
If you are looking for a safe introduction to scuba diving this guided diving tour is definitely a great choice.

I had a great time snorkelling in Honolulu.
I can't swim but thanks to Scott I managed to enjoy the experience.
The Magic Island Lagoon is a safe and beautiful place.
I really enjoyed the activity.

A bus will pick you up to Honolulu.
I enjoyed snorkeling, SUP, and kayaking for about two hours.
There were Japanese staff members, and the local staff spoke Japanese as well. They were cheerful people, so you can relax and have fun!

ホノルルまでバスの迎えが来てくれます。
シュノーケルやSUP、カヤックを2時間程度堪能しました。
日本人スタッフもいましたし、現地スタッフも日本語が話せて、陽気な人たちなので、安心して楽しめます！

After deciding to go to Hawaii, I was asked to go fishing, so I made a reservation here. Although they didn't speak Japanese, we managed to communicate since it was fishing. I was worried about seasickness, but I didn't experience any at all. During our trip, we didn't catch many fish overall, but my son caught three small ones and released them. Although we couldn't eat them, my son was very satisfied to be able to fish in the beautiful sea.

ハワイに行くと決まってから、釣りがしたいとお願いされ、こちらを予約しました。
日本語は通じませんが、釣りですので、何とかなりました。
心配していた船酔いも全くなかったです。
魚は参加した回は全体的にあまり釣れずでしたが、息子は小さめを3匹釣り、リリースしました。
食べることは出来ませんでしたが、息子は綺麗な海で釣りが出来、大満足でした。

It was my first time parasailing, and I had a really fun time. I also requested photos and received some great pictures. We rode on a small boat with a few other groups to go out to sea, so while others were experiencing it, we had to wait on the boat, which made the time on the boat quite long. I had heard from previous participants that there was a possibility of seasickness, so I took motion sickness medication beforehand and enjoyed it without feeling sick. I think it's essential for those who are prone to motion sickness. Other than that, it was an incredibly fun and amazing time.

初めてのパラセイリングでしたがとても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
写真もお願いしてとてもいい写真をいただきました。
何組かと合同で小さい船に乗って沖まで出るので、他の方が体験している間は船で待っていることになり、かなり船に乗っている時間が長いです。事前に参加した方から船酔いする可能性あると聞いていたので酔い止めを事前に飲んで、特に酔うこともなく楽しめました。おそらく乗り物に弱い方は酔い止め必須だと思います。
それ以外は、とてもとても楽しく最高な時間でした。

We participated in the 11:30 session. There were seven of us in total, including the three of us and two pairs of friends who joined. It was great that we could fly as a group of three.

The weather was nice, and we enjoyed the stunning views. It was our first experience, and at first, there were parts that felt a bit scary, but as we got used to it, the height didn't bother us much.

If you pay an additional $40, you can receive dozens of photo data on an SD card (they can also transfer it on the spot if you have an iPhone). I recommend this for those who want to keep memories of themselves enjoying parasailing.

11:30の回に参加。我々３人と、二人連れ２組の計７人でボートに乗り込みました。我々は３人で飛べたのでよかったです。

天気がよかったこともあり、絶景を満喫しました。初めての体験で、最初は少し怖かった部分もありましたが、慣れてくると高さはあまり気になりません。

追加で$40を支払うと数十枚の写真データをSDカードでもらえます（iPhoneでればその場で転送もしてくれます）。パラセイリングを楽しんでいる自分たちの姿を残しておきたい方にはオススメです。

We had a very large group of all ages and swim levels and everyone had such a great time! The crew was so nice and helpful. We would definitely go again.

We went as a family of three (with an 11-year-old child) and had a truly satisfying and precious time!

- Getting to the port by bus
After arriving, I felt a bit anxious about where to go, but it was fine as long as we followed the flow. A Japanese staff member provided explanations. It's a good idea to fill out a waiver beforehand. No need to print it; you can do it on your smartphone.

- On the way
We headed there while listening to Hawaiian live music, which really lifted our spirits. It felt very Hawaiian.

- Kayaking
First, we enjoyed kayaking together as a family of three. The child had a great time too!

- Stand-up paddleboarding
Standing up at first is a bit scary, but it's manageable.

- Snorkeling
I believe we will definitely see fish. We received fish food from the staff. It was the child's first snorkeling experience, and they enjoyed it without any issues!

I recommend bringing a GoPro. You can take pictures safely underwater, and the staff can take family photos for you, creating memories that you wouldn't normally capture!

One thing I regret is not knowing how to give tips. I wanted to give a tip to the staff who helped us during snorkeling, but I didn't see a place for it on the boat. There was a box for tips inside the boat, so I put it there. However, when we got off the boat, the staff were there to see us off. Was it proper etiquette to give tips there? I didn't have any ready in my hand, so I just shook hands and left. I hope I didn't leave a bad impression on the staff who took care of us! It was the best hospitality. If I have the chance, I will go again!

親子3人（子ども11歳）で行きました。大満足な貴重な時間が過ごせました！
・バスで港まで
到着後、どこに行けばよいかちょっと不安になりますが、流れに沿って行けば大丈夫でした。日本人スタッフの方が説明して頂きました。行く前に事前に誓約書みたいのを書いていくと良いです。印刷不要です。スマホで出来ます。
・行くまで
ハワイアンライブミュージックを聞きながら、テンションを上げながら向かいます。ハワイって感じでした。
・カヤック
まずは、カヤックは３人乗りで、親子３人で楽しみました。子供も楽しめます！
・スタンダップパドル
最初立つのは怖いですが、大丈夫です。
・シュノーケリング
魚は、間違いなく見れると思います。スタッフの方に魚のえさをもらえました。子供は初のシュノーケリングでしたが、全く問題なく楽しんでました！

GoProの持参をおすすめします。海の中でも安心して撮れますし、スタッフの方に家族の写真を撮ってもらえたりして、普段撮れない写真が撮れて、良い思い出になっています！

ちょっと悔いが残るのは、チップの渡し方がわかりませんでした。
シュノーケリングの時にお世話になったスタッフに渡したかったのですが、
ボート内に見たらなかったので、ボートの中にチップを入れる箱があった
ので、そこに入れました。でもボートを降りると、スタッフの方が
見送りでいてくれました。そこでチップを渡すのがマナーだったのでしょうか？
手にチップを用意しておらず・・そのまま、握手をして帰ることに・・。
お世話になったスタッフの方に嫌な思いをさせていたらすみません！
最高のおもてなしでした。
機会があれば、また行きます！
