Oahu
I was worried that my flight from Kona would be delayed and I wouldn't make it in time for my dinner reservation, but I was able to get to the hotel first and made it just in time. I had a little time at the airport before others arrived, but during that time, the driver engaged me in conversation, so I didn't feel bored.
コナからの飛行機が遅れて予約しているディナーに間に合うか心配したのですが、先にホテルまで送ってもらえて無事間に合いました。
空港で他の方が来るまで少し時間があったのですがその間もドライバーの方が話しかけて下さったりして退屈せずに過ごせました。
Riding horses in Hawaii is just the best, isn't it?
We rode along the beach near Turtle Bay.
Along the way, the staff took some photos for us.
We got some "amazing pictures."
The staff told me, "You're doing great!"
The horses here are well-trained, so it's fantastic.
They are calm and very easy to handle.
I want to go horse riding in the Hawaiian sea again.
### Everyone, you should join in too! ###

From the first day I arrived, I went to the catamaran.
The "blue sky" of Waikiki and the elegant moments on the catamaran.
"It's the best."
For some reason, I was the only Japanese person there.
Even so, I made friends with a diverse group of participants (not just Americans).
"It's the best."
Everyone, please join in!
着いた初日から 行きましたよ。カタマラン号へ
ワイキキの ’青い空’ そして カタマラン号の 優雅なひととき。

なぜか、ジャパニーズは私一人です。
それでも、国際色豊かな(アメリカ人だけじゃありませんよ。) 参加者と お友達になって
”最高ですよ。”
皆さん、参加して下さいよ。
We participated as a family of three because we wanted to see the sandbar. Since two of us can't swim, we were looking for a tour that would be easy for non-swimmers to join, and we found this one.
The Angel Sea was very beautiful! Perhaps due to the timing, the sandbar wasn't visible, but the water's clarity was incredible! We learned how to use the snorkeling gear and had a fun experience in a safe area. We also got to see sea turtles from the boat and throw bread to the fish, which was a unique experience. The hamburger we had on the boat was delicious!
サンドバーが見たくて家族3人で参加しました。3人のうち2人が泳げないので、そういう人も気軽に参加できるツアーを探してたところこちらのツアーを見つけ、今回参加してみました。
天使の海はとても綺麗でした!時間帯のせいか中洲は現れてなかったのですが、海の透明度が半端なかったです!そこでシュノーケリングの使い方を習い、安全な場所で楽しく体験出来ました。また、船から海ガメを見ることができたり、魚にパンを投げたり今までにない体験が出来ました。船の中で食べたハンバーガーは美味しかった!
I was a bit anxious about the English-only guide, but it was longer and more enjoyable than the zip lines in Japan. It was a bit pricey with the transportation included, but it was a great experience.
英語ガイドのみで不安もありましたが、日本のジップラインより長くて楽しめました。送迎付きで少しお高いですが、いい経験が出来ました。
Carrying the kayak to the sea by myself was tough, but the ocean was so beautiful! With a guide, even beginners can feel at ease! I was happy to have my photos taken and received them right there!
The lunch included in the tour was delicious! It was from an old pizza shop, and I was surprised by the size! But it was so tasty that I could easily finish it. I want to come back just to eat this again!
I accidentally left something on the bus on the way back, and the next day it was delivered to my hotel, for which I was grateful!
I want to participate in the tour again!
カヤックを自分で海まで持ってくのが大変だったけど、海はとてもキレイでした!
ガイドさん付きで、初心者でも安心!
写真も撮ってもらえて、その場でもらえて嬉しかったです!
ツアーについてたランチがまた美味しかった!
老舗のピザ屋さんみたいて、サイズにはびっくり!!でもペロリと食べれちゃうくらい美味しかったです。これを食べにまた来たいくらい!
帰りにバスに忘れ物をしてしまい、次の日ホテルまで届けてもらえて、感謝でした!
またツアーに参加したいです!

Loved the volleyball game- perfect fun for my teenage boys! We saw lots of turtles and a Ray! Enjoyed the excursion!!! Thanks to you- a happy crew
I was surprised that the number I inquired about on the phone was different from the car that arrived, as I was about 10 minutes late. When I tried to show the voucher to confirm, I was told, "Hurry up and get in the airport." I was anxious, but I'm glad I arrived safely.
10分程度遅れてきて電話で問い合わせしたナンバーと
きた車が違くてびっくりしました
そしてバウチャーを見せて確認しようとしたら
ん?エアポート早く乗ってって言われました。
不安でしたが無事について良かったです
This tour was wonderful. I’d been to Pearl Harbor years ago with family. The tour added an xtra touch - our tour guide, Marlon, was an added bonus. He spoke with reverence and compassion and gave us a lot of local information and history. Definitely recommend!
Although I couldn't speak Japanese, the reception staff taught me how to check in using a tablet, making the check-in process very easy.
日本語が通じないが 受付スタッフの方たちが
タブレットにての受付を教えてくれるので チェックインも簡単にできた
I signed up for the buffet course, but the live performance was only held on the second floor, and we were seated on the first floor, so we couldn't enjoy the performance. After finishing our meal, we were on the deck on the third floor, but I felt that the all-you-can-eat appetizers and drinks course might have been better. However, the fireworks on Friday were wonderful. It was truly a luxurious time.
ブッフェコースを申し込みましたが、生演奏は二階席のみで行われていて、自分達は一階席だったので、演奏は楽しめませんでした。食事を済ませ、三階のデッキに居ましたが、アペタイザー&ドリンク飲み放題のコースの方が良かったような気もしました。でも金曜日の花火は素晴らしかったです。それはもう贅沢な時間でした。
The instructor provided thorough explanations and support in advance. Thanks to that, all participants were able to catch the waves! I wanted to experience more than just sightseeing in Hawaii on my second visit, so it truly became a wonderful memory.
インストラクターさんがしっかり事前説明、サポートしてくださいます。
そのおかげで参加者全員が波に乗れてました!2回目以降のハワイで観光よりも体験したかったので、本当に良い思い出になりました。
I had always wanted to go after seeing it on TV and in magazines, but it was incredibly small, and I was able to go around it in no time. The slides were all quite similar, and I wished there were more regular pools. Moreover, the wave pool requires an additional fee, and the lockers are expensive, so they really charge you for everything.
The good points were that it was very empty and the hamburgers were fairly tasty. The Shaka was interesting.
テレビや雑誌で見ててずっと行きたいと思っていたのですが、めちゃくちゃ狭くてすぐに一周周れてしまいました。
スライダーも、同じようなものばかりで、普通のプールがもっとあればいいなと思いました。
しかも、波乗りするプールは別料金だしロッカーも高いし、何かとぼったくります。
良かった点は、めちゃくちゃ空いてたことと、ハンバーガーがまあまあ美味しかったことくらい、、、。
シャカは面白かったです。
I was a bit worried when the pickup was delayed, but after waiting for about 20 minutes, I met up with the staff and felt relieved. After the pickup, I signed a waiver in the car, and as soon as we arrived at the location, we were guided to the boat, ready to set off into the waters of Waikiki. There were six groups on the boat (we were the only Japanese), and ten minutes later, the first group started parasailing! We were the last to go, and before sailing, the staff asked us, "Are you okay with getting wet?" to which we replied, "Okay!" What does "getting wet" mean? We enjoyed the stunning views at the highest point and began our descent, splashing into the water with a "splash!" Oh! So this is what "getting wet" means. The flight lasted about five minutes, and I thought, "I wish it could be a bit longer!" It was a very satisfying tour. It's something anyone can do, and it's definitely worth experiencing even if you're not in Hawaii.
ピックアップが遅れてちょっと心配しましたが、20分程度待ってスタッフと合流しほっとしました。
ピックアップ後、車内で、誓約書にサインし、現地に着くと即、ボートに案内され、いざ!ワイキキの海に出発、ボートには6組(日本人は我々のみ)が乗船し、10分後には、1組目がパラセーリングスタート!!
私たちは最後のスタートで、セーリング前にスタッフから『ビショ・ビショ OK?』と聞かれ『OK!』、”ビショ・ビショ”って何だ?、最高地点で絶景を満喫し降下し始めて、海面に”ジャボン!”、あ!これが”ビショビショ”か
、およそ5分程度のフライトで、『もう少し長いといいな!』と思いつつ終了。非常に満足するツアーでした。誰にでもできて、ハワイでなくとも1度は体験する価値十分です。
The parasailing at 120 meters above the sea was a wonderful experience. The view from above the ocean was amazing. There was almost no sound, just the pleasant sound of the wind. I was able to enjoy a comfortable time with Diamond Head in the background. The captain was a lot of fun, and he took many photos from the boat. Photos are available for purchase. The kids also had a great time with this activity.
海上120mのパラセイルは、とても気持ちの良いものでした。海の上からの景色は最高でした。音はほとんどなく、心地よい風の音のみでした。ダイアモンドヘッドをバックに、快適な時間を過ごす事ができました。船長さんはとても楽しい人で、ボートの上からたくさん写真を撮っていただきました。写真は購入可能です。子供たちも、大満足のアクティビティでした。
While they recommended purchasing photos, we were unable to buy them because we weren't photographed. It seems they misunderstood and thought we were in the same group as the honeymoon couple in front of us, but I believe it was their mistake for not confirming properly and not reaching out to us. This was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii, and we are truly disappointed.
写真の購入を勧めておきながら撮ってもらえず購入することができなかった。
私達の前のハネムーンカップルと同じグループだと勘違いして写真を撮らなかったようですが、きちんと確認せず声かけしなかったそちらのミスだと思います。
今回のハワイ旅行で一番のイベントだったのにほんとがっかり。
Everyone in my family really enjoyed the Polynesian culture center! The guide was amazing, Ian And everyone was so kind. They made a special effort to entertain my eight-year-old which was really nice.
I had read about this in a guidebook I bought in Japan and absolutely wanted to do it. Since I requested no pickup, the meeting location was a bit hard to find, and I got lost. I participated in the 90m option because I had an elementary school child with me, but even at 90m, the height was very satisfying. The view of Waikiki from the sea became a wonderful memory!
日本で買ったガイドブックに記載があり絶対にやりたいと思っていました。
送迎なしでお願いしたので受付場所が少しわかりづらく迷いました。
小学生の子供がいたので90mで参加しましたが90mでも大満足できる高さでした。
海から眺めるワイキキの景色はとても思い出になりました!
I arrived a little later than the scheduled time, but they sent me off without any issues. I also appreciated their help in carrying my luggage. I plan to use their services again next year.
予定の時間より少し遅れてきましたが問題なく送って頂きました。荷物も運んでいただき助かりました。来年もまた利用させて頂こうと思います。
Thank you for your help last year. The location is easy to find and convenient. I plan to visit Hawaii again next year, so I intend to use your services.
昨年もお世話になりました。場所もわかりやすく便利です。来年もハワイ行く予定ですので利用しようと思います。
Yuki, the Japanese staff member, accompanied us and provided various explanations. It was clear that the other staff members were also attentive to safety. The hamburgers we had for lunch were delicious. Since we went out on a sunny day, it seemed that members who used sun visors also got sunburned on their heads. Don't forget hats and sunscreen!
We had a valuable experience encountering sea turtles and swimming around the coral reefs while snorkeling. It's understandable that there are repeat visitors.
日本人スタッフユキさんが同乗、色々説明していただき、また他のスタッフも安全に配慮している様子がうかがえました。お昼のハンバーガーが美味しかったです。晴天日に出かけたので、サンバイザー使用のメンバーは頭も日焼けしたようです。帽子、日焼け止めなど忘れずに!
うみがめとの遭遇、シュノーケルでサンゴ礁の周りを泳いだり、と貴重な体験をしました。リピーターの方がいらっしゃるのも納得です
It was fun. There were four adults, and it was everyone's first time participating. The pickup time at the hotel was just right (around 9 AM), but when you include the transportation fee from the Waikiki area, it feels a bit pricey. I think six activities, including both long and short ones, is just the right amount. Don't expect much from the scenery. Just keep in mind that after going down, you have to climb back up over 75 steps! There was also someone in their 80s in the same group, so it's an activity that people of all ages can enjoy.
楽しかったです。成人4名、皆初めての参加でした。ホテルでのピックアップ時間もちょうどよかったですが、(9時前後)ワイキキエリアからの送迎代金を含めると割高感があります。長短含め6本、ちょうどよい量だと思います。景色は期待はしないでください。ただ下がったあと、75段あまりの階段を上がって戻ります!
同じ班には80代の方もいたので、老若男女楽しめるアクテビティです
I participated in the tour that started at 8:30. Picking up participants at three hotels went smoothly, but after that, it was a long wait. There was a long line to sign in, and we had to wait to move to the base, and even after arriving at the base, we had to wait quite a bit (to switch with those who had finished).
I thought I would be back at the hotel around 10:30, but I didn’t return until just before noon. If you have plans in the afternoon, I recommend allowing extra time.
Parasailing was incredibly enjoyable and fun; even for someone like me who is not fond of heights, it was not scary at all. Choosing to go up to 150 meters was definitely the right decision!
When moving from the base to the boat for parasailing (which felt like about 5 minutes), and while waiting for others to finish parasailing, it’s easy to get seasick. If you are prone to seasickness, I think taking medication is essential.
There were staff members who spoke Japanese, and the instructors were familiar with Japanese people, so I had no trouble with communication at all.
*Please note that times may vary depending on the instructor and the participants on the day.*
Overall, I am very satisfied!
8時半からのツアーに参加しました。
3ヵ所のホテルで参加者をピックアップ…までは順調でしたが、
そこからが長かったです。
署名するのに長い列、拠点への移動までも待たされ、拠点に着いてからもまぁまあ待たされました。
(終わった人たちと入れ替えで移動するため)
10時過半くらいにはホテルに戻れるかと思っていましたが、戻れたのは12時前でした。
午後から予定を入れているときは余裕を持たれた方がよいと思います。
パラセーリングはすごく気持ちよく、楽しく、高いところが苦手な私でも全く怖くありませんでした。
150mにして正解でした!
拠点からパラセーリングをする船に移動する時(体感5分くらい)と、他の方がパラセーリングをしている待っている間が船酔いしやすいです。
船酔いされる方は薬は必須かと思います。
Officeの方には日本語を話せる方もおり、インストラクターも日本人慣れしていて、言葉には全く不自由しませんでした。
※時間などは担当のインストラクターや、当日の参加者によって変わると思います。
総合的に、大満足です!
マハロ - 美しい日。
Mahalo - beautifiul day.
You travel in a group with people from various countries, not just Japanese. At first, it can be intimidating, but the feeling of gliding through the wind is unbeatable. You can do the longest course one last time at the end. It ended just when you wanted to do a little more.
日本人だけじゃなくていろんな国の方々とグループで周ります。最初こそ怖いけど風をきってすすむ心地よさはたまりません。一番長いコースを最後にもう一度できます。もうちょっとやりたいなぁ、ってところで終わりました。
Everyone, including the driver, only spoke English, so I was initially worried. However, even if you don't understand English, you can still enjoy it fully and feel safe. Wow, that scenery is something you should experience!
ドライバーさん始め全員が英語しか話せない人だったため最初は不安でしたが、英語がわからなくても充分楽しめるし安心・安全です。いやぁあの景色は体験するべきです!!
Great people and entertainment. Definitely recommend this show to anyone

Once a year, I do an activity! This year it was parasailing! The weather was perfect and the crew was friendly! The views and the sense of freedom were amazing! This was the best activity of the year. I'm glad I chose Veltra without hesitation!
The boarding and disembarking from the boat were smooth, so there was nothing to worry about. I got to see Waikiki Beach, Ala Moana, and Diamond Head all at once—what a fantastic feeling! This is something everyone should experience at least once!
After getting off the boat, I saw the photos (for a fee) and they made for a great keepsake with Diamond Head in the background. The tip was just a small amount, so there was nothing to worry about!
毎年1回はアクティビティ!
今年はパラセイリング!最高の天気と親切なクルー!最高の眺望と開放感!今年は最高のアクティビティでした。迷うことなくベルトラさんにして良かった!
船からの離発着もスムースで何も心配なし、ワイキキビーチ、アラモアナそしてダイヤモンドヘッド!一望でき最高の気分!一度は体験すべし!
下船して写真(有料)観たらダイヤモンドヘッドをバックにし良い記念になりました。チップも気持ち程度で何も心配なし!
There was no BBQ, and the buffet was quite terrible. I would recommend not ordering it. Everything else was satisfactory, but you should definitely avoid the BBQ plan.
BBQ は無く、かなり酷いバイキングでした。
頼まない方がいいかと。
他は満足ですが絶対にBBQプラン頼まない方がいいです。
I was able to get on the bus right after checking in at the counter. It was comfortable, and since it's a tour, I didn't have to stop by the tour desk, so I could start my activities right away. I arrived at the hotel at 11 AM and asked if I could check in early, and they said OK, so I was able to head out before noon.
カウンターでチェックインしたらすぐにバスに乗れました。快適だし、ツアーだとツアーデスクに寄ったりで行動がなかなか開始出来ないのでいいです。11時にホテルに着いてダメ元でチェックイン出来るか聞いたらOKでしたので12時前には出かけれました
We three challenged ourselves to parasailing for the first time, and it was helpful that we had a pick-up from the hotel at 7:40 AM. The height was 90 meters, and I was worried about whether we could go up together as three or if we would be paired with another group of two and one. However, the weather was good, and we were able to go up as a group of three. On the day, the crew asked if we wanted to purchase photos, but we declined. Other groups had their photos taken while parasailing, looking like they were about to fall into the big mouth of Jaws; I didn’t ask about the price, so I'm not sure. I secured an action camera to my left wrist and got permission to take photos while we were up, and it was a success! However, I forgot to take motion sickness medication, and after we landed on the boat, I felt nauseous and had to endure it while waiting for the rest of the group to finish. It was tough. A couple with two small children had their kids secured on their laps and went up as a group of four. My wife, my nephew, and I had a great time, and the scenery was beautiful, so we were very satisfied! Motion sickness medication is a must. Since we paid for the tour with a credit card, I gave a $30 tip when we got off the boat.
私達は3人で初めてのパラセーリングに挑戦しました、朝7時40分にホテルまで送迎が有り助かりました。高さは90メートルで3人同時に出来るか2人と1人別グループの人と組まされるか心配でしたが天候も良くて3人で上げて貰いました、当日写真有料でいるかクルーに聞かれましたが私達は断りました、他のグループは写真を頼んでジョーズの大きな口に落ちそうになってるパラセーリングが上手く取られていました、料金は聞いて無いので不明ですが。私はアクションカメラを左手首に固定して撮影の許可を貰い上がってる間撮影成功しました!あと私だけ酔い止め薬を飲むのを忘れてしまい終わって船に着地した後酔ってしまい後のグループが全て終わるのを吐きそうになりながら我慢しました、大変でした。小さいお子さん2人いる夫婦は子供を膝の上に固定して4人で上がってました。妻も甥っ子も私も凄く楽しくて景色も良くて大満足でしたよ!酔い止め薬は必須ですね。ツアー代金はクレジットカードで決済してたので当日船から降りる時に30ドルをチップで渡しました。
