All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I challenged the 150-meter course!
The other three groups with us were all foreigners! But there was not a single uncomfortable moment!
I didn't request any photos since they cost money!
I went pretty high up, and the drop was slow enough that it wasn't scary, but when I was submerged in the water and came up quickly, it was really scary, but I had fun! Haha
Maybe it was a honeymoon service, or maybe because it was the last one, but they let us go under twice (><) Haha
Even someone like me who can't handle roller coasters was able to do it!
And although I have a fear of heights, if I just zoned out and didn't look down, it was a bit scary but I managed to be okay!
Since I had such a great time, I gave a $10 tip to each of the two staff members!

150メートルの方を挑戦！
あたしたちの他三組は、全て海外の人だった！でも、居心地悪い感じはひとつも無し！
写真はお金がかかるので、依頼しませんでした！！
結構たかくまであがって、落ちる時はまあまあゆっくりだから怖くなかったけど、水に漬かって上がる時が一気にあがってすごく怖かったけど、楽しかった！笑
ハネムーンサービスなのか、最後だからか2回も浸からせてくれた(><)笑
ジェットコースターがだめなあたしでもいけました！
そして、高所恐怖症ですが下を見ずにボーッとしてたら少しは怖いけどなんとか大丈夫な感じでした！
楽しませてもらったのでtipを10ドルずつ2人に渡した！

Thrilling, and beautiful sights of Waikiki when in the air!

In the past, I participated in a package tour that allowed us to enjoy multiple activities in one day, but we decided that this Ocean Voyage was the most fun, so if you're going, this is the one to choose! It feels great to move forward while experiencing the wind and splashes of the waves out in Kaneohe Bay, and I think it's an experience you can't easily find elsewhere. Horseback riding and the luau tour are also good, but this is definitely the best! Along the way, the instructor explained about the plants and fruits before boarding, and even after we got on, they took a lot of photos in various poses. I highly recommend it!

過去に1日で複数のアクティビティを楽しむパッケージツアーに参加したのですが、私達はこのオーシャンボヤージが1番楽しかったので、行くならこれだ！と決めておりました。カネオヘ湾の沖まで風と波しぶきを受けながら進むのはとても気持ちが良く、他ではなかなか経験できないと思います。乗馬やラプターツアーも良いのですがやはりこれが1番です! 途中インストラクターの方が乗船する迄の間も植物や果物の説明をしてくださったり、乗船してからもいろいろなパターンで写真を沢山撮って下さいます。とてもオススメです。

It was not the best weather day… raining but it cleared when we boarded the boat to Kaneohe bay. The trip was pleasant with warm welcoming, music, and a light but satisfying breakfast. The crew were amazing. So helpful and very knowledgeable and safety conscientious.
The snorkeling was beyond our expectations and the day out on the sandbar was such fun with the crew being extremely attentive to our needs.
We had an amazing day . Can’t wait to do it again

I highly recommend this for activity beginners! The reception and the experience were both amazing!

The atmosphere on the boat was great, and the captain was fantastic! I want to go again!

アクティビティ初心者にちょーーーおすすめです！
受付、体験何をとっても最高でした！！

実際船の上でも雰囲気もよくキャプテンも最高です！
またいきたいです

The instructor was very good at Japanese and explained everything carefully! I had a lot of fun!!! However, it took a long time to download the photos and videos, so I would appreciate it if they could send them directly to my phone via AirDrop or something similar.

インストラクターの方も日本語が上手で丁寧に説明してくれました！とても楽しかったです！！！
ただ写真や動画がダウンロードに時間がかかるので、送ってもらうのに直接携帯にAirDropなどで送っていただけると助かるなと思いました。

I was suddenly canceled on, and when I inquired, I couldn't get in touch, so I went directly to the location, but there was no staff present. (There were also a few others waiting for the same reason.) After that, I was asked via email whether I wanted a refund or to change to another day, and when I chose to change to the next day, it was canceled again. I had changed into my swimsuit and arrived on time, but after being kept waiting, I was told that the engine was having issues. I was really looking forward to parasailing on that day, which was my last day, and I am filled with disappointment. I want my time back. I will not be making a reservation here again.

突然キャンセルされ、問い合わせましたが連絡がつかなかったので直接現地に行ったところスタッフが誰もいませんでした。(他にもちらほら同じ理由で待機しているであろう方々がいました)
その後メールで返金か別日に変更するか聞かれ、翌日に変更してもらったところ、翌日もキャンセルされました。水着にも着替え、時間通りに到着したのに待たされた挙句今日はエンジンの調子が悪いからと言われました。その日は最終日でパラセーリングを楽しみにしていたのにとても残念な気持ちでいっぱいです。時間を返して欲しいです。
もうここで予約はしません。

The weather is absolutely amazing!
The sky is beautiful!
The sea is beautiful!
The view of Diamond Head was the best!!!

The boat ride was also very pleasant!!!!!!!

めちゃくちゃいい天気！
綺麗な空！
綺麗な海！
ダイヤモンドヘッドまで見渡せて最高でした！！！

ボートも気持ちよかった！！！！！

I felt a bit of fear at first, but it was actually not scary at all and was very refreshing! The captain and the crew were very friendly and made jokes to entertain us. They offered to take photos if we wanted, so I asked them to do so. Looking back at them later, they truly became wonderful memories. It was also nice that the number of participants wasn't too large.

Additionally, I forgot that the meeting time was 30 minutes before the reservation time, so I arrived just in time... I tried calling the local contact, but I couldn't get through, which was concerning. However, I received a call from VELTRA (with Japanese staff) who checked on the situation, and I was both surprised and grateful. What great service! Thank you very much.

Thanks to you, I had a very good experience and I am satisfied!

少し恐怖感があったのですが全然怖くなくてとても爽快でした！
船長さんもクルーの方もとても気さくで冗談を飛ばして楽しませてくれていました。
写真は希望すれば撮ってくれるのでお願いしました♪
後で見返しても本当に良い思い出となっております。
参加人数もそんなに多くないのも良かったです。

後、集合時間は予約時間の３０分前と！いうのを失念しており到着がギリギリになってしまって･･･
一応現地連絡先へ電話をしたのですが繋がらずで困っていたところベルトラさんからお電話を頂き(日本語スタッフ)状況の確認をしてくださったのには驚きと感謝しかございません。なんて手厚いんだ！
本当にありがとうございました。

お陰様でとても良い経験となり満足しております♪

We went to Hawaii for a family trip. We signed up for parasailing at the request of our child. The weather was great on the day, and it was the best! It was really wonderful to see the beautiful scenery of Hawaii from the sky. The staff were also kind and attentive. It was the best memory.

ファミリー旅行でハワイに行きました。
パラセイリングは子どものリクエストで申込みしました。当日は天気も良く最高！でした。ハワイの綺麗な景色を空から見ることができ本当によかったです。スタッフの方も優しく丁寧でした。
最高の思い出です。

The staff had a high level of hospitality, and I was very satisfied!

For an additional fee of 40 USD, I received over 100 photos, which was also a great value and I was pleased with that.

スタッフもホスピタリティが高くとても満足しました！

写真は別途料金40US＄で100枚以上の写真を頂け、こちらもコスパ高く満足しました。

Initially, I had a reservation for December 1st, but due to rain and wind, I received an email about two hours before the reservation that it was canceled. Since it mentioned that I could change the date for free, I rescheduled for the next day. The following day was clear and sunny, so it turned out to be a good thing that the previous day was canceled.

I took The Bus to get close to the location and headed to the Aloha Boat Harbor. The ticket booth (a small yellow building with a green roof) was smaller than I expected, and I got a bit lost. I recommend arriving early. There, I signed the instructions and boarded the boat.

I was told there would be a briefing about 30 minutes long, but we quickly got on the boat and headed out to the point. Once there, we were fitted with life vests, and before I knew it, we were soaring through the air. The crew member spoke a bit of Japanese and was very kind.

Once we were flying, we had a beautiful view of Diamond Head and the scenery was amazing. The crew member took a lot of photos for us and gave them to us on an SD card at the end (40 photos). It was really great! If I get the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely do this again. I will recommend it to my friends as well.

最初は前日の12/1に予約してたのですが、雨と☔風で予約の2時間程前に中止のメールが届きました
無料で日時が変更出来るとあったので翌日に変更。
翌日は快晴で結果的に前日中止になって良かったです。

現地のザ・バスに乗って近くまで行きアラワイボートハーバーへ。チケットブース（緑の屋根の黄色い建物）が思ってたより小さくて少し迷いました。早めに行くのをオススメします
そこで説明書にサインをし、船へ。
30分程事前に説明があるという事でしたが、すぐに船に乗り海に出てポイントまで行ったら救命ベストなどを付けてもらい、あっという間に飛ばせてくれました。
CREWのお兄さんが片言の日本語を話してくれ、とても優しかったです。
飛んだらダイヤモンドヘッドなども綺麗に見え最高の景色でした
写真もお兄さんがたくさん撮ってくれて最後にSDカードでくれ（40）とても良かったです
また、ハワイに行けたら絶対したいです。
周りの友達にもオススメします

The event was canceled once due to strong winds, and it was rescheduled for another date. However, I had trouble with my application and was told on the day that my reservation was not confirmed. Fortunately, the lady at the reception was very kind and contacted the staff at Veltra for me, allowing me to join at an available time.

Parasailing was amazing. It's not something you get to experience often, so I highly recommend it. The boat driver was really enthusiastic.

一度強風で中止になり、別の日程に振り替えたのですが、うまく申し込ておらず、当日受付をしても予約できていないと言われました。ですが、受付のおばちゃんが非常に良い人で、ベルトラのスタッフに問い合わせてくれ、空いている時間に入れてくれました。
パラセーリングは最高でした。なかなかできる経験ではないのでおすすめです。ボートの運転手はイケイケでした。

This tour is impressive. We two adults and one kid (5 years old) really enjoyed the tour. There are roughly 3 hours from leaving and back to the wharf, including the round trips (20 minutes), preparation and cleaning (20 minutes), and the total number at Sand bar for playing is about 2 hours 20 minutes, which is enough for playing kayak, paddle board, snookering, volleyball, and relaxing.

The place itself is safe. KBOS assigned one or two staffs for each kind of activity, and they provide help for whoever needs it. The water depth was 3~4 ft when we were there, and the staff said the water depth is 2~5 ft depending on the tides. Little kids friendly as long as they are not sacred of swimming.

Simple lunch and drink were provided. Live music on the boat. The staffs are really helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!

We self drive from Waikiki, which took us about 40 minutes before the lunch time. There are a lot of parking spots.

We will come back when we visit Oahu again.

It was my sixth-grade daughter's second time snorkeling in her life, but perhaps because of her bad experience during her first time, I had to somewhat forcefully encourage her to participate. However, from the moment we were picked up, the staff were kind and taught us patiently, which allowed her to enjoy it with peace of mind. She said it was the most fun she had during this trip! It has become my favorite memory as well. Thank you very much!

小学6年生の娘にとって人生で二度目のシュノーケリングでしたが、初めて体験した時のイメージが悪かったせいか、嫌がる娘を半ば強引に誘っての参加でした。
しかし、送迎の時から優しく、丁寧に教えて頂き、安心して楽しむことができたようで、今回の旅行の中で一番楽しかったと言ってくれました！私にとっても一番の思い出です。本当にありがとうございました

Although it had been sunny until yesterday, it suddenly started pouring rain, and the tour itself was canceled. However, about five hours prior, I was able to check whether it was canceled through the reservation information screen in the email, which allowed me to change my plans for the next activities.

昨日まで晴れていたのに突然大雨が降ってきて、ツアー自体がキャンセルになってしまったが、5時間前くらいにはメールの予約情報画面からキャンセルかどうか確認することができ、次の行動予定を変更することが出来ました。

Everyone else was either American or Canadian, and we were completely away from it all. Everyone was incredibly cheerful, drinking and having a great time. The yacht didn’t sway at all, and we cruised through Maalaea Bay under clear skies. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean was wonderful, making for a happy two hours. This was the best part of the trip. I didn’t get seasick and felt absolutely refreshed. I will definitely ride again the next time I go to Waikiki.

我々以外はアメリカ人もしくはカナダ人で、完全にAwayでした。
皆さんすこぶる陽気で、お酒を飲んでめちゃめちゃ盛り上がっていました。
ヨットはまったく揺れず、快晴の中マララ湾を進んでいきました。
沖から眺めるワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの景色は素晴らしく、幸せな2時間でした。今回の旅行で一番良かったです。船酔いもせず、最高に気分爽快でした。次にワイキキに行ったときも必ず乗ります。

It was a bit hard to find the location, but I had so much fun from the moment I got on the boat. The moment we went up was quick and not scary at all. It became a great memory.

場所がわかりにくかったですが、船に乗った時から、とにかく楽しかったです。
上がる瞬間も一瞬で怖くないです。
良い思い出になりました。

Me and my husband did several activities in the Big Island and Oahu and the experience we had in the Sandbar was the best out of all. The reservation was easy and the staffs/crews on the boat were very friendly. They delivered the information and guideline very well and were willing to help. Kayaking was so fun and relaxing and snorkeling was amazing(I can't swim but the life vest they provided helped me to explore the ocean). We saw more fish than we did at Hanauma Bay. I definitely recommend this activity to everyone who visits Oahu. Next time I go, I would bring a jacket or an extra beach towel with me because I felt a little cold on the way back(They give you hot tea to help).

If you're looking for an experience where you can enjoy the waters of Oahu, have a chance to swim with Hawaiian green sea turtles, and want to take in the breathtaking views of the island then this is the tour to take. The staff is very friendly, and they'll give you tips on where to go.

Take the staff's recommendation to rent an anchor ($5) and a dry bag ($5). That way you can ensure your kayak will stay put and your things stay dry

The 4 hour trip was plenty to explore both major coral reef spots. The sandbar was recommended if you're looking to relax.

If you're expecting a sandbar where you can walk when the tide goes out, it might be a bit different. Still, I had a wonderful and elegant time with cheerful instructors, including some Japanese, and enjoyed live music on the boat.

There was a raft near the snorkeling, kayaking, and SUP spots, and spending time sunbathing while enjoying the view from there was fantastic.

While being pulled on a banana boat, I happened to see a sea turtle swimming nearby!

いわゆる、潮が引いて歩けるサンドバーを期待すると、ちょっと違うかもしれません。
それでも日本人も含む、陽気なインストラクターさんと、船内は生演奏の音楽もあってとても気持ちがよく優雅な時間を過ごせました。

シュノーケル、カヤック、SUPスポットの近くにイカダがあって、その上で景色を眺めながら日向ぼっこをしている時間も最高でした。

バナナボートに乗って引っ張られている最中、たまたまですが、ぷかぷか泳いでいるウミガメを見ることもできました！

It was a great experience and best time I and my friends had in Honolulu. All staff was very nice and helped us to enjoy the activities safely. Thank you and we will visit again!

My 11-year-old son was very happy. I recommend it. He seemed to have fun catching a fish. The staff were also kind and taught us patiently. In the end, they cooked the fish we caught and let us eat it.

１１さいの息子が大分喜びました。お勧めです。１匹釣れてたのしそうでした。またスタッフも優しくて丁寧におしえてくれます。最後、釣れた魚を料理して、たべさせてくれました。

I participated alone, but I had a great time.

The two instructors, Dan and Chieko, were very polite and kind, and they took good care of us, so I was able to join without any anxiety. I was very satisfied because we got to snorkel for a full hour at great spots. The tour was conducted entirely in Japanese, so even those who can't speak English at all can feel at ease.

When I went ten years ago, there was no need to make a reservation for Hanauma Bay, so I went there by TheBus on my own. However, I heard that making a reservation is very difficult now, and I was half resigned to that. But I really wanted to see that beautiful ocean, and even though I thought it might be a bit expensive, I’m glad I went. I'm considering asking for this again the next time I come to Hawaii.

Thank you very much.

1人で参加しましたがとても楽しめました。

インストラクターのお2人ダンさん、ちえこさんもとても丁寧で優しくて気にかけてくれたので全く不安なく参加できましたし、良いスポットを1時間たっぷりシュノーケリングで回れたので大満足でした。ツアーは終始日本語なので英語が全くできない人でも安心です。

10年前に行った時はハナウマ湾への予約の必要がなかったので自分でTheBusで行ってましたが、今は予約を取るのがとても大変と聞いて半分諦めてました。でもどうしてもあの綺麗な海に行きたくてちょっと高いかなと思ったけどやっぱり行って良かったです。また次にハワイに来た時もお願いしようかなと思っています。

ありがとうございました。

The weather was nice on the day of the trip, the sea was beautiful, and I was able to see a lot of fish. The English guide was very kind, but if you can't speak English, you won't know the meeting place and time for the return. It would be very helpful if you could provide guidance in Japanese using a whiteboard or notes.

当日はお天気も良くて、海が綺麗で魚めたくさん見られました。英語ガイドさんはとても親切でしたが、英語が話せないと帰りの待ち合わせ場所や時間が分かりません。
ホワイトボードやメモなど日本語で案内してもらえるととっても助かります。

I went parasailing for the first time, and it was an amazing experience. The sky was quieter and more stable than I expected, allowing me to enjoy the scenery and the height. The only downside was that the weather wasn't great. There were many people from Japan, so we took photos and videos of each other and shared them, but there was no photo service provided as part of the tour.

初めてパラセーリングをしましたがとても素晴らしい体験ができました。
上空は思っていた以上に静かで安定していて景色や高さを楽しめました。お天気がいまいちだったのでそこだけが残念でした。
日本の方が多くいらっしゃったのでお互いに写真やムービーを撮り合って共有しましたが、ツアーとしては写真サービスはなかったです。

After the experience

The pickup time was perfectly on Japanese time, and the driver, Tomo, was a very friendly and handsome young man who spoke Japanese very well! The local staff member, Emi, was also a very kind and easy-to-talk-to Japanese woman! The explanations about Kailua and Lanikai Beach were clear and helpful, so everything was great! The beautiful sea and good weather allowed us to relax! I was very satisfied with the delicious pizza and boxed lunch for lunch! I was also happy to receive a gift and get some souvenirs! I definitely want to participate again! Thank you very much!

体験後

ピックアップの時間もピッタリの日本時間で、ドライバーの、ともさんは日本後もとても上手く親しみやすいイケメンの好青年！現地スタッフのエミさんもとても優しく話しやすい日本人女性！カイルア、ラニカイビーチの説明もわかりやすくして頂いたのでバッチリでした！綺麗な海で天気も良くリラックスできましたよぉ〜！昼食も美味しいピザとボックスランチでとても満足しました！プレゼントもありお土産もゲットできて嬉しかったです！また参加したいですよぉ〜！有難う御座いました！

After our children became adults, we took a trip to Hawaii as a couple for the first time in over 20 years. We wanted to do something memorable, so we signed up for parasailing. Although I felt a bit scared, the weather was great on the day of the activity, and once we were up in the air, it was stable and we enjoyed the refreshing breeze while taking in the stunning views of Honolulu. At the end, we had the usual splash in the sea, but they also check in advance how much you'll be submerged, which was very reassuring. I would love to do it again the next time we visit Hawaii.

子供たちも社会人になり、20数年ぶりに夫婦2人でのハワイ旅行。何か思い出に残ることをやってみようと思い、パラセイリングに申し込みました。
少し怖い気持ちもありましたが、当日は天気も良く、空に上がってみれば安定していて、気持ちよい空気の中、ホノルルの絶景を堪能できました。
最後はお決まりの海ポチャになりますが、どの程度海に浸かるかも事前に確認してくれるので、とても安心です。
次にハワイに行くときもやってみたいと思います。

It was an English tour, but it was not difficult, and I was able to participate happily. The time flew by in the air! Since you can enjoy Hawaiian activities in a short time, I recommend it for those who are short on time.

英語ツアーでしたが、難しいことはなく楽しく参加できました。上空ではあっという間の時間でした！
短時間でハワイらしいアクティビティができるので、時間のない方もおすすめです。

It was different from the snorkeling I had imagined; we swam continuously for about 60 minutes. They guided us to good spots, and we were able to take underwater photos. Since it's a tour where you need both hands free at all times, it's better to avoid taking your smartphone. You shouldn't bring it. We even saw a sea turtle along the way, which was beyond my expectations.

I felt that the maximum of 5 people in a small group was in reference to the number of participants per instructor, but I don't think there were any issues with that.

想像していたシュノーケリングとは違い、60分程度泳ぎっぱなしでした。
良いポイントへ導いてくれて、水中写真も撮れました。
常に両手が使える状態でなければ厳しいツアーなので、スマホでの撮影は避けた方が良いです。持っていくべきではありません。
途中ウミガメも見られて、想像以上です。

最大5名の少人数…は、インストラクター1名あたりの人数だと感じましたが、特に不具合は無いと思います。
