All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day of our trip. There were three groups on board, including us, and as we headed offshore, it seemed that we accidentally dropped the parachute into the sea while trying to spread it out, causing a bit of a scramble to retrieve and re-spread it.

We were the first group, but because of the drop, seawater dripped down the parachute lines after we ascended, making our eyes and faces hurt.

Also, for some reason, we were facing away from Waikiki Beach instead of towards it during the flight, so we couldn't enjoy the scenery much.

The other two groups didn’t get as wet and were able to enjoy the view towards the beach, which made us envious.

Additionally, I found that I wasn't as comfortable on the boat as I had expected, so overall, I didn't enjoy it very much. My husband seemed to enjoy the boat ride, though.

当日はあいにく曇天でした。自分たち含め3組で乗船し、沖合に向かっていき、パラシュートを広げる時に誤って？海に落としてしまったようで慌てて回収して広げなおしていました。
私たちは1組目だったのですが、海に落としてしまったせいで上昇してからパラシュートの紐づたいに海水がしたたり落ちてきて目や顔が痛かったです。

また、飛んでいる間、なぜかワイキキビーチ向きでなく沖合向きになっていたのでほとんど景色を楽しめませんでした。

そのあとの2組はあまり濡れることもなく、ビーチ側向きで楽しめていたのでうらやましかったです。

また、私は船が思ったより苦手だったので総合的にあまり楽しめませんでした。
旦那さんは船の移動含めて楽しめているようでした。

Due to strong winds, the event could not be held as originally planned and was rescheduled for the following day, but I’m glad I participated! I was able to swim with sea turtles, which was a dream come true, and I had a great time snorkeling in the beautiful sea!

強風により当初の予定での開催が叶わず、翌日の催行となりましたが、参加して良かったです！夢だったウミガメとの遊泳が叶って、綺麗な海でシュノーケリングが出来て楽しかったです！

The fact that I booked to just experience the sand bar is my small disclaimer, But the boat ride out to the sandbar including the friendly staff breakfast snacks and juice along with the live band / music and all the SUP, Kayaking Snorkeling and Lounging we could do is what made this an experience of a lifetime for me and my son! They provided all the above for a great rate plus you can add on other activities like the bumper boat ride etc. I highly recommend Veltra tours! You won't be disappointed!! Mahalo

It was so much fun!! The sky felt close, I could see the mountains, and right below was the ocean. Participating with my friends made it an unforgettable memory.

とっても楽しかったです！！空が近く、山も見えて、真下は海で、友達と参加できたことが、忘れられない思い出になりました。

I used this experience for my honeymoon. I have a fear of heights, but since my husband enjoys this kind of thing, I looked at other people's reviews and decided to try it at 150 meters.

There were two American couples and two Japanese couples participating. The boat had one driver and one staff member. As soon as we got on the boat, we placed our bags and shoes under the seats. I kept my smartphone on a strap around my neck.

After we set off, the staff started talking, but everything was in English, so honestly, since we’re not very good at English, we were a bit confused and just followed along as they helped us put on our safety belts and life jackets. We swayed for a few minutes. I intended to take motion sickness medicine, but I forgot that day and desperately stared at the distant scenery.

We were the last group, so we first watched the others jump. They quickly became small, and as someone with a fear of heights, I felt a bit of regret. While the other groups were experiencing it, the boat was moving at quite a speed when suddenly the staff shouted, "Whale!" Looking over, we saw the spout and tail of a whale near where the boats had gathered! I was so lucky to be able to do whale watching for free; it was amazing!

Then it was our turn, and since we had to go, we ascended. I thought it might be scary to float up, but it was okay. We slowly rose up. Since we were over the sea, the boat gradually became smaller. It was somewhat scary, but the breathtaking view made up for it. I thought it might be scarier, but it was more manageable than I expected. My husband was next to me taking lots of pictures.

Up in the sky, it was very quiet, just our little world. The floating time was about five minutes. Just when I was starting to get used to it, I realized we were going down. The descent was also slow, so it wasn’t scary. When we landed, my backside got a little wet.

This is such a rare experience with an incredible view, and even with my fear of heights, I highly recommend it!!!

ハネムーンで利用しました。私は高所恐怖症なのですが、旦那がこういうの好きなので、他の方の口コミもみて、150mで体験しました。
同じような方の参考になればと書かせていただきます。

アメリカ人2組、日本人2組の参加でした。
ボートには運転手1人とスタッフ1人。
まずボートに乗ってすぐ荷物や靴は座席の下にいれます。スマホはストラップで首にかけた状態でいました。
出発してスタッフが話されますが全て英語なので正直英語が得意でない私たちは？？？という感じでなされるままに安全ベルト？とライフジャケットを装着。
そのまま揺られること数分。酔い止めを飲むつもりですが当日忘れてしまい、必死に遠くの景色眺めてました。
私たちは最後の組でまず他の人が飛ぶのを見守りました。一気に小さくなって人影に高所恐怖症の私は少し後悔笑
他の組が体験している間、ボートはかなりのスピードで走っていますが、急にスタッフが「ホエール！」と。みると船が集まってた近くに鯨の潮と尾鰭がみえました！
まさかタダでホエールウォッチングできるとは、とても幸運で最高でした！

そして自分たちの番、行くしかないのでいざ、浮上。
浮く時怖いかなと思いましたが大丈夫でした。ゆっくりゆっくり浮上していきます。海の上なのでボートがだんだん小さくなって行く感覚。
多少は怖かったです笑。手は絶対離さなかったです。ただそれを上回る絶景が広がってました。
もう少し怖いかと思いましたが、予想よりかはいけました。旦那は隣でパシャパシャ写真撮ってました。。。
空の上はとても静かで２人の世界です。
浮いている時間は大体５分くらい。ようやく慣れようとする頃に気づいたら下がっていってます。下がる時もゆっくりなので怖くありません。着水するときお尻まで少し濡れました。
こんな滅多にない絶景での体験、高所恐怖症ではありますが、とってもおすすめです！！！

I wasn't able to get a photo taken. I was told something in English, but I couldn't understand it. It felt a bit unkind! It's very disappointing that I don't have any memories from this experience.

写真を撮って貰えなかった。何か英語で言われたけど理解出来てい無かった。でも少し不親切だった！、
折角の思い出が無い、非常に残念だった

We had an amazing time! 10/10 would recommend!! Defiantly a must when visiting Oahu. Mahalo to the crew and musicians!

It was an affordable price, but with beautiful scenery and lovely boats, I was satisfied because I saw whales twice. Even when I got motion sickness, they responded quickly.

お手頃な値段だけど、綺麗な景色、綺麗なボートで、クジラが2回も見れたので、満足です。乗り物酔いになってしまった時も、素早い対応をしていただきました。

I participated with my middle school daughter and my sixth-grade son. My daughter was scared and only joined us on the boat, but she was encouraged to fly if she felt like it, and it seems she had a great time on the boat. The guide took many photos with my daughter's smartphone, so it was fine not to purchase any.

Since there were only three groups, we quickly got our turn. Before we knew it, we were up in the sky, enjoying the blue ocean and the wonderful scenery! You can store your belongings under the seats, and the access is great, allowing you to make the most of your time there, so I highly recommend it.

中学生の娘、小学六年生の息子と参加しました。
娘は怖くて船上だけの付き添い参加でしたが、気分が変わったら飛んでいいよと沢山話しかけて貰い、船上で楽しい時間を過ごしたようです。
写真は娘のスマホでガイドさんが沢山撮ってくださり、購入しなくても大丈夫でした。

3組だけだったので、すぐに順番が。
あっという間に空に上がり、青い海と素晴らしい景色を楽しむ事が出来ました！
荷物は椅子の下に置けますし、何よりアクセスが良くて現地時間を有効に使う事ができるのでおすすめです。

Great ride, they staff seemed knowledge in safety during the ride, beautiful views form above too

It was my first time surfing, but the instructor was skilled, and I was able to succeed right away. There were also staff members who spoke Japanese, including Yamazaki, which was very helpful. Hula, hula.

初めのサーフィンでしたが、インストラクターの肩が上手で、すぐに成功することができました。ヤマザキをはじめとして日本語が話せるスタッフもいて、とても助かりました。ふらんすあ、ふらんすあ。

I booked this activity in the middle of my 3-night, 5-day trip.

To put it simply, I’m glad I experienced it!

Reasons include:
- The staff were entertaining.
- The speed of the boat to the parasailing point and during the parasailing was incredible!
- I was surprised by the flow of getting lifted into the air from the boat!
- While parasailing, I was a bit scared of the height, but the view was breathtaking.

If you're interested, I definitely recommend giving it a try!

3泊5日の中日にこのアクティビティを予約。

簡潔に感想言うと体験して良かった！

理由として
・スタッフさんが面白い
・パラセイリングのポイントまでとパラセイリング中のボートのスピード感半端ない！
・ボートから宙に浮くまでの流れにビックリ！
・パラセイリング中はあまりの高所にビビりながらも絶景に感動

とにかく気になったら体験してみては？

To enter Hanauma Bay on your own, it seems you have to win the reservation battle that only starts a few days in advance, so if you want to go to Hanauma Bay, I think it's safer to use the provided services. During our visit, we were fortunate with the weather, and since it was mid-March, we were able to venture further out. We were able to see sea turtles and yellowfin tuna, and it was great that we could later share photos. Since you snorkel for nearly an hour, I think it's a good idea to rent a wetsuit. The weather was good, but even so, I was glad to have the wetsuit towards the end.

自力でハナウマ湾に入るには（数日前にしか始まらない）予約争奪戦を勝ち取らなければならないそうなので、ハナウマ湾に行きたいなら無難に利用するのが良いのかなと思いました。我々の時は天候にも恵まれ、3月半ばだったこともあり、沖の方にも出ることができました。無事ウミガメやギンガメアジを見ることもできたし、写真も後ほど共有してもらえたりとありがたかったです。1時間近くシュノーケリングするのでウェットスーツを借りておくのが無難かなぁと思います。天候は良かったですが、それでも最後の方はウェットスーツがあって良かったなと思いました。

My daughter enjoyed her private lesson with Moe and really enjoyed his knowledge.

She recommends Moe for a private lesson to anyone looking to improve their skills.

We participated as a couple on our honeymoon. Both of us were new to snorkeling and felt a bit anxious before joining, but once we got started, it was so much fun that we completely forgot our worries! The instructors were very friendly and taught us various things in a bright and enjoyable manner, and we got to see many beautiful fish and sea turtles. This was our first time having such a wonderful experience, and we had a great time! Thank you very much!

ハネムーンで夫婦2人で参加しました。2人ともシュノーケリングは初めてで、参加するまでは不安もありましたが、参加してみたら楽しくて楽しくて、不安感なんて全然ありませんでした！とてもフレンドリーに明るく楽しくいろいろなことを教えていただけて、たくさんの綺麗なお魚やウミガメに出会うことが出来ました。こんな素敵な経験初めてで、とても楽しかったです！ありがとうございました！

There were many participants who were not Japanese, and there was a group that was just too noisy, making it hard to hear the instructions. Although a staff member who understood Japanese explained things individually, it was too loud to hear. People were vaping and even entering the sea with alcohol, yet no one was reprimanding them. I was really looking forward to it, but I couldn't do either stand-up paddleboarding or canoeing. I'm very disappointed.

日本人以外が多く参加しており、とにかく騒いでるグループがいて、注意事項等々聞こえず、日本語のわかるスタッフさんが個別に説明してくださいましたが、うるさ過ぎて聞こえませんでした。
電子タバコをふかしたり…アルコールを持ったまま海に入っていても誰も注意していなかったです。
凄く楽しみにしていたのにサップもカヌーも出来ませんでした。ガッカリです

We did the rainforest kayak trip. Staff was friendly and the launch spot was easy to find with the map sent in email so make sure you have that handy. The trip was very peaceful and pretty. It was a bit narrow in spots. Overall would recommend!

I went snorkeling with a light heart among young people. Thanks to the instructor who guided us without letting go of our hands, I was able to swim for an hour. The waves were rough that day, and I don't think I could have made it on my own, so I'm grateful. Because of that, I had the memorable experience of encountering turtles twice and swimming with them. I was tired, but it was fun.

若い人に混じって軽い気持ちでシュノーケリングしました。
インストラクターの人がずっと手を離さず先導してくれたおかげで、1時間泳ぎ切ることできました。
この日は波が荒く、ひとりでは泳ぎ切れなかったと思うので感謝です。
おかげで、亀にも2度遭遇して一緒に泳いだこと、とても記念になりました。
疲れたけど楽しかったです。

It was a cloudy and chilly day, and the guide recommended renting wetsuits to prevent injuries from the cold and coral. It was definitely the right decision to rent them since we passed very close to the coral.

I was truly thrilled to encounter sea turtles. The guide was bright and very kind, and I greatly appreciated their help. It was a memorable experience for the whole family.

If I have the opportunity to go again someday, I would love to join you.

曇り空で肌寒い日でガイドさんが寒さと珊瑚でケガをするのを予防する為、ウエットスーツのレンタルを勧めてくれました。
珊瑚の上ギリギリのところも通ったので貸りて大正解でした。

海亀と遭遇出来て本当に感激でした。
明るくとても親切でガイドさんには大変お世話になりました。
家族皆んなで参加出来、一生の思い出になりました。

またいつか行く機会があったら是非ご一緒させて頂きたいです。

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, but I still had a great time! I think even those with a fear of heights won't find it too scary since it's over the sea! The sea breeze feels nice, and the driver, who was quite energetic, made it even better!

あいにく天気は曇りでしたがそれでもとても楽しかったです！
高所恐怖症の方でも下は海なのでそんなに怖くないとおもいます！
海風も気持ちよいし、運転手も飛ばしてくれる方(?)もテンション高めで最高です！

Great time parasailing. The boat crew were very friendly and knowledgeable. It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience! The check in process was very smooth, and they even offer photo services which is a great idea

My elderly mother was able to relax and enjoy a comfortable time without worry. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was stunning against the blue sky.

高齢の母も安心して喜んでのんびりゆったりと快適な時間を過ごしました
海から見るワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッドは青空とともに絶景でした

It was thrilling. There were staff members who spoke Japanese and provided detailed explanations. They took photos and videos with a GoPro, which I purchased as a keepsake. I also appreciated that there was no pressure regarding the photos, which made it even more appealing. You can't experience this in Japan. I want to go again.

スリル満点でした。日本語が喋れるスタッフがいて説明も丁寧に教えてくれました。GoProでの写真、動画撮影をしてくれたので 購入し思い出となりました。写真なども強制感が無かったところがまた魅力的に感じました。日本だと味わえないです。また行きたいです。

March 11, 8 AM Course

We were blessed with good weather, and it became a wonderful memory with a cheerful instructor and four groups. Thank you very much.

３月１１日 ８時発コース

天候にも恵まれて、４組で陽気なインストラクターで素晴らしい思い出になりました。
どうもありがとうございました。

The people were fantastic and the fishing was great! My son (10) and I had a blast! My son also really enjoyed seeing whales and sea turtles on our trip. We highly recommend this excursion for anyone!

Great staff, explained everything properly, I’ve been here before and came back with family, because I had great memories from being here before - best kayak rental place on Oahu in my opinion. We did not take any pictures because we wanted to keep our phones safe but you get to see a lot of awesome wildlife! Thank you so much for awesome memories!

It was very meaningful. Since it was my first time in Hawaii in a while and my stay was short, I wanted to make the most of my time. Choosing a tour with transportation instead of a rental car was the right decision. It included lunch, which was a great deal, and it satisfied my desire to go snorkeling and explore the city. The Japanese staff, Natsue and Emi, were very attentive to what the participants wanted, and I had a very pleasant experience. Thank you very much.

大変有意義でした。
久々のハワイだった事と、短い滞在だったので、時間を有効に使いたいと思い
レンタカーではなく、送迎付きのツアーにして正解でした。ランチも付いていてお得だし、シュノーケルも街歩きもしたいという欲張りな要求が満たせました。日本人スタッフのナツエさんとエミさんは参加者がどうしたいかをきめ細やかに察知してくださり、とても心地よく過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

I used this for my honeymoon. The weather was perfect on the day, and with calm winds, we had a stunning view of Diamond Head and the entire Maunalua Bay area, creating the best memories.

*Since the boat is small, it does sway quite a bit (which is fun too), but if you are prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must. It takes a bit of time to get out to sea.

The parasailing time is 6-7 minutes, but it was thrilling enough, so it felt like plenty of time.

The captain and the pilot were both very cheerful and unique, making for a fun experience throughout!

ハネムーンで利用しました。当日は天気に恵まれ、風も落ち着いた中、ダイヤモンドヘッドからマワラ湾一帯を一望でき、最高の思い出になりました。

※船が小型のため、なかなか揺れます(それも楽しいですが)乗り物酔いしやすい方は酔い止め必須です。
沖に出るまでそれなりに移動します。

パラセイル時間は6-7分ですが、スリル満点のため、十分な時間でした。

キャプテンと操縦士もとても明るくユニークな方で、終始楽しいひとときでした！

The crew was amazing! The watersports we did was so much fun! Snorkeling and water volleyball was so cool, a turtle just swam up by our net and popped in to say hi! Views were incredible as well! Highly recommend this tour

I communicated my lack of confidence in swimming, so they were attentive and held my hand, allowing me to swim without anxiety. Seeing the beautiful fish and coral made the stress from the long COVID-19 pandemic disappear. I was able to rent a bodysuit and prescription mask, and the two instructors who spoke Japanese were very kind. I would like to use this service again. Thank you!

泳ぎに自信がない事を伝えていたので気を配ってくれ、手をつないでもらい不安なく泳ぎました。
きれいな魚や珊瑚をみて長かったコロナ禍でのストレスが吹っ飛びました。
レンタルのボディスーツ、度付きマスクも借りれて日本語の分かるお二人のインストラクターの方が優しいです。
また利用したいです。
ありがとうございました！
