This was my fourth trip to Hawaii, but my first time parasailing! Since I was staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, I was able to walk directly to the meeting point. Since it was a special trip to Hawaii, I decided to challenge myself with the 150m height, and it was definitely the right choice! I kept rising higher and felt like we were the only ones up there, which was an amazing feeling. I wondered if this is how birds feel when they fly? It was so exhilarating!!!

They said it would last about 15 minutes, but I think we were actually in the air for about 7 or 8 minutes. It cost nearly $100, so I gave it four stars. There were about four other groups participating, but since we were the first to fly and headed out to sea, we could only see the ocean in front of us and had to turn back to see the view of Waikiki. I recommend boarding the boat last so you can fly facing Waikiki.

Also, if you ask, they will take photos for about $20, but I think it's fine to ask someone from another group to take your picture. Since we flew first, we didn't have time to ask, so we ended up not getting any photos, but the experience is etched in my memory!

ハワイ4回目ですが初のパラセーリング！
ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ宿泊だったので徒歩で直接集合場所に行けました。
せっかくのハワイ旅行だし、ということで150mにチャレンジしましたが、これが大正解でした！
どんどん高く上がっていき、上空を私達だけで独り占めしてるようなそんな気分になれました^^
鳥ってこんな感じで飛んでるのかな？気持ちいいーーーーー！！！
と大興奮でした♪
15分？とのことでしたが実際に飛んでいたのは7.8分ほどだったと思います^^;
それで100ドル近くがかかったので星4つにしました。
ツアー客4組ほどと一緒に参加するのですが、私たちが一番最初に飛んだ時に沖に向かって進んでいたため、前の景色は海しか見えず、後を振り返りながらワイキキの景色をみないといけませんでした^^;
船に乗り込むのを最後にすると、ワイキキ方面を向いて飛べるのでおすすめです。
あと写真はお願いすれば20ドルくらいで撮ってくれますが、他のグループの方たちにお願いして撮ってもらう感じでいいと思います。
私達は最初に飛んだのでお願いする暇もなく結局写真は取れませんでしたが目に焼き付けました(笑)

I was picked up by bus at the hotel and departed from the bay near Hilton Village. It mentioned that towels were needed, but it was fine without them. You can also leave your valuables on the cruiser, so there's no need to worry.

It was drizzling a bit at departure, but once we got out to sea, it cleared up and we enjoyed beautiful weather!

The crew was friendly and engaged in conversation, which really enhanced the atmosphere, making it a lot of fun! Be sure to enjoy the breathtaking scenery and refreshing experience!

バスでホテルまで迎えに来てもらい、ヒルトン村のそばの湾から出発。
タオル必要と書いてありましたが、無くて大丈夫です。貴重品もクルーザーで置いておけるので安心してください。

出発時はパラパラと雨が降ってましたが、沖に出ると晴れ、快晴の中でした！

クルーの人が気さくに話しかけてくれ、雰囲気も盛り上げてくれるのでとても楽しかったです！
圧倒的な景色と爽快感を是非楽しんでください！

It was a wonderful experience in my life. sandbar is also unique site and unexpected view..I could see beach shore and fish from sea and stand on the sea!! how to imagine ? play volleyball on the sea
And english guider, singer, all crew are so nice and kind to be comfortable for us to enjoy activitie and bbq lunch tour.
I will absolutely recommend this captain bob's sanbar and snorkel tour to my friends and coworkers who plan to go on vacation in Hawaii.

Thanks.

I participated in an all-Hawaii cruise tour. I joined because I was longing to see the beautiful sandbars like in the pictures, but unfortunately, the water was deeper than knee-high... And above all, it was very cold since it was March. The snorkeling was quite chilly due to the low seawater temperature. However, the delicious BBQ lunch made up for those downsides! The tour guide was also very nice. When I go to Hawaii again, I will definitely try to get my sandbar revenge with this company.

オールハワイ・クルーズのツアーに参加しました。写真で見るようなキレイなサンドバーに憧れての参加でしたが残念ながら膝丈以上の深さ、、、。そして何より3月ということもあり非常に寒かった。シュノーケリングも海水温が非常に低く凍える寒さ。しかしそのマイナス面を補ってくれるBBQランチの美味さ！！そして添乗員さんも非常に良い方でした。またハワイに行く際はこちらの会社でサンバーリベンジします。

Second time I have used this tour to get to and from Hanauma Bay. Especially a great value if you already have your own snorkeling equipment as you can take the price down a few dollars without equipment rental.

Go first thing in the morning and be ready to get into the water by 8am or earlier. That way you can snorkel without the crowds until the circus arrives around 10am. By then I had already gotten 2 full hours of relatively unspoiled pics of all that I wanted to take and enjoyed lounging on the beach until the pickup time.

It was an experience like no other, and I had so much fun! The captain and crew were kind and made it enjoyable, so I felt at ease taking on the challenge. I want to ride again!

今まで体験したことのない感覚ですごく楽しめました！
船長さんたちも優しく、楽しませてくれたので安心して挑めました。
もう一度乗りたいです！

This was an amazing experience and exceeded our expectations
Highly recommend this to everyone
Views are fantastic
Staff are amazing
Will be back
VELTRA - is a great company to book through

I appreciated that the shuttle service to the hotel was included, and it was great that it was okay to be wet as long as I had a bath towel laid out. I chose the 150-meter option, and even as someone with a fear of heights, I was able to enjoy it. The local crew took beautiful photos with a single-lens camera, which made for even more memorable moments.

ホテルまでの送迎付きで、バスタオルさえ敷いていれば濡れていてもOKなのが有り難かったです。150メートルを選択しましたが、高所恐怖症でも楽しめました。現地クルーの方が一眼で綺麗に写真を撮ってくれたので、更に思い出になりました。

I was scared before it started, but it seems like I had fun when it was over. Now I want to try the 150m ride!

始まる前は怖がっていましたが
終わると楽しかったみたく
今度は150mに乗りたい言ってました^o^

Worth it! I was always skeptical about going on dinner cruises and did not know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. To start off, the crew really does go above and beyond to ensure a perfect experience. You start the evening off with a Bellini toast and some delicious appetizers on the top, back deck where there is a ukulele player and a hula dancer. From there they take your party to your table on the inside top deck of the ship. Throughout the course of 7 course dinner, which was amazing, there are musicians playing. The music was perfect for dinner. Not too loud but made for a very enjoyable, entertaining evening. I would recommend the 5-star dinner for couples more than families with children. While it is enjoyable for the whole family, the ambiance make for an exceptionally romantic and memorable evening in Hawaii with that special someone.

Exploring Oahu can be so much fun and Germaine's Luau is one of them! Mind you, I have been to mostly all the Luaus on the island but not for Germaine's. I was only convinced to try when many of my "social media" friends were posting and saying good things about it.
I'm a local resident here, and three of my friends from the mainland came to visit so we decided to join the Luau. They took the bus transportation from Waikiki provided by Germaine's and I drove to meet them there. I checked-in half hour early which gave me ample time to explore around the area and take photos. It’s actually a very nice place! Beautiful private beachfront setting with a view of the spectacular sunset!
We ordered the Hibiscus Package which included 3 drink tickets that I was given immediately at the time of check-in. We had a nice center seating section, which provided a better viewing of the Polynesian entertainment. On our way to the bar and to the buffet line, my friends and I decided to leave our sandals under our bench table and went barefoot through the sand because it was difficult to walk in. It was still a fun night, your feet touching the sand makes it a unique Luau experience.
Their drinks..I think their cups are small but since I got 3, it was just good enough for me! The food was delicious, and lots of Polynesian entertainment! All of my expectations were met. Definitely recommended.

Out to sea by boat! At a distance of 150 meters, we went up and up, but without any fear, and we even saw whales. It was the best eight minutes. I participated in a one-piece swimsuit, but I didn't get wet and landed safely on the boat! The staff were cheerful and it was a lot of fun! Thank you very much.

ボートで沖に！150ｍ選択で、上がる、上がる、
でも怖さ無く、鯨も見えて、最高の８分間でした。
ワンピースで参加しましたが、濡れず、
ボートに無事着地！スタッフさんも陽気で楽しかった！
ありがとうございました。

As soon as we left the port, without even having time to prepare, we encountered a pod of dolphins! After diving in and enjoying that, we also saw sea turtles and stingrays. I never expected to see a whale before heading back after playing on the SUP. When it was really time to go back, I realized that my digital camera, which the captain had around his neck, was missing... Even though I said, "It's okay," everyone helped look for it in the water. Within five minutes, Maiko found it, and everything was a surprise! Thank you, everyone.

港を出てすぐ、準備をする暇もなくイルカの群れがーっ！急いで飛び込み堪能したところでウミガメ、エイも登場。
SUPで遊んで帰港する前にクジラまで見られるなんて思いもしませんでした。
で、ホントに帰るとなった時にキャプテンが首からかけていた私のデジカメが無いことに気付いて…
「もういいよー」と言っているのに皆で海の中を探してくれました。
5分もしないうちにマイコーが見つけてくれて、何もかもがサプライズ！
みなさんありがとうございました。

It was the kids' first surfing experience. My son was able to stand up on the board from the first day, and my daughter quickly learned to do the same. By the end, both kids were even riding while holding hands! If you want to start surfing, I recommend signing up here.

子供達の初サーフィンでした。
息子は、１本日から立てるようになり、娘もすぐに立てるようになりました。最後の方は、子供達二人で手を繋ぎながらのライディングまで出来るように！サーフィンを始めたいならこちらに申し込みをお勧めします。

It was my first time surfing, and there was a staff member who was friendly and spoke Japanese well, which helped me manage to stand up! Since I had a one-year-old child, my husband and I took turns participating, but we managed to ride the waves about 5 or 6 times in total. The two hours flew by, and it was a wonderful experience! I was so into it that I didn't even notice they were taking photos. This time was beginner-friendly, so next time I’d like to challenge myself with slightly bigger waves!

初サーフィンでしたが、日本語が上手で気さくなスタッフさんが1人いらっしゃり、なんとか立ち上がれました！
一歳の子供がいたので主人と2人で交替しながらの参加でしたが、合計5,6回は波に乗れました。あっという間の２時間でしたが、とても良い経験ができました！
写真は撮られていることにも全く気付かないくらいでした。
今回は初心者向けだったので、次回はもう少し高い波にも挑戦してみたいです♪

The longest zip line on Oahu was truly exhilarating and amazing! The instructors were all friendly and really helped to create a lively atmosphere.

オアフ島最長のzip lineは本当に気持ち良くて最高でした‼️インストラクターの方々も気さくな人ばかりで場を盛り上げてくれます

It was exciting to go parasailing after a long time. The moment we went up, there was a bit of speed, but before I knew it, we were quite high up, and it felt amazing. The pickup and the entire process were smooth without any long waits. Since it was the first tour of the day, it was great for planning the rest of the day's activities.

久しぶりのパラセイリングでドキドキでした。
上に上がる瞬間は少しスピードがありましたが、あっという間にかなり高い所まであがり、すごく気持ちよかったです。
お迎えから終了まで特に待たされる事もなくスムーズな案内でした。
朝一のツアーなので、そのあとの予定も組みやすくて良かったです。

Unfortunately, it was a cloudy sky with light rain. The boat ride and the captain's performance were fun, but it really depends on the weather. The 150 meters was not scary at all; it could have been even higher, haha. It’s a bit chilly in the early morning, so a rash guard or something to wear is essential! Also, I asked for photos, but it seems there was a miscommunication? The person I was with also requested photos, but it seems that didn’t go through either, so we couldn’t buy any photos after all.

あいにくの曇り空とパラパラと雨。
ボートの移動やキャプテン？のパフォーマンスなどは楽しかったけれど、やはり天候次第でしょうか。150メートルは全然怖くなかったです。もっともっと高くてもいいかも笑
朝早くの方は肌寒いのでラッシュガードなど羽織りものは必須です！
あと写真お願いしたのに通じてなかった？一緒の方もお願いしていたのに、通じてなかったらしく、やはり写真は買えませんでした。

I was impressed by the beauty of the ocean. The hamburger I had on the boat was very delicious!! I would like to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

海のきれいさに感動しました。
また船の上で食べるハンバーガーはとっても美味しかったです！！
またハワイに行った時は参加したいです。

First time I went on a boat, first time eating lobster, first time in Hawaii! Everything was perfect from A to Z!

I'm not afraid of heights, but at first, I was tense on the swaying launch platform. It was quite difficult to trust the safety belt. (laughs) By the third time, I got used to it and really enjoyed myself. In the second half, I started backward and even went upside down. Even as a couple in our sixties, we had plenty of fun. The view from the 800-meter launch platform became a great memory. Lastly, pulling myself up was tough, and my blood pressure went up quite a bit.

高所恐怖症ではないけど、揺れるスタート台に最初は力が入りました。
安全ベルトに身体を預けることが、なかなかできなかった。(笑)
三本目になると、慣れて、満喫しました。
後半には、後ろ向きにスタートしたり、逆さまになったりしました。
還暦の私達（夫婦）でも十分に楽しめました。
800ｍのスタート台から見る景色はいい思い出になりました。
最後に、自分で自分を引上げるのは、大変で血圧が随分上がりました。

Had the best day in spite of the rain. Anthony, Cord and Jenner made sure we were comfortable and entertained! Great BBQ lunch was a bonus

It was my first time paragliding, and it was incredibly fun. However, I was disappointed that I couldn't do it solo (everyone had to go within an hour) and that it was only for 10 minutes, which was short.

初めてのパラセイリングでしたが最高に楽しかったです。ただ、残念なのは単独ではできなかったこと（1時間以内にすべての人を実施する）と10分間と短かったことです。

I encountered wild dolphins.
I found a mother and baby dolphin in the pod, and they were very cute.
The tour guide and the crew were incredibly cheerful and it was a lot of fun.
I was worried about getting seasick, but the enjoyable atmosphere made it completely fine.
The hamburger on the boat was also very delicious.
However, the water was colder than I expected.
I think it's a good idea to bring a rash guard.
It was a very good experience.

野生のイルカに出会えました。
群れの中に親子のイルカを見つけましたが、とてもかわいかったです。
ツアーガイドさんも船のクルーの方たちもすごぐ明るくて楽しかったです。
心配していた船酔いも楽しい雰囲気だったので全く大丈夫でした。
船の上でのハンバーガーもとてもおいしかったです。
ただ、海の中は思ってたより寒かったです。
ラッシュガードを持参した方がいいと思います。
とても良い体験でした。

Don’t worry about the early pickup to get you to the west side of Oahu. After swimming with dolphins and seeing at least 10 whales including a mother and calf, you will be wide awake. Sleeping is for the shuttle back home after such a fun-filled adventure. Do it, you won’t regret it!

We departed from the ship and gradually increased in height while enjoying the wind. I chose the 150m plan, and I felt almost no fear, fully enjoying the views of Hawaii's cityscape and mountains from the sea. The round-trip transportation was provided by someone who spoke Japanese, and I was able to hear helpful advice about shopping and other useful information.

船上から出発して、風を見ながら徐々に高さが増していきました。150mのプランにしましたが、恐怖心はほとんどなく、海上からハワイの街並みや山を満喫できました。
往復の送迎は日本語の分かる方で、買い物のアドバイスなど、参考になる話を聞かせていただけました。

A horseback riding experience that you can't enjoy in Japan. Above all, riding in the vast land felt stress-free for the horses, and they walked calmly. The course was familiar to the horses, and I was impressed by how smart they were.

日本では味わえない乗馬体験。何よりも広大な土地での乗馬は、馬もストレスなく、歩いてくれる感じ。
コースも馬が知っていて、お利口なお馬に感激でした。

The round-trip boat ride was thrilling and a lot of fun, with plenty of speed. The weather was great, with a nice breeze, making it perfect for sailing. Even taking photos with my smartphone brought a smile. It's a unique experience that you can't usually have, and I highly recommend it for those who love heights.

往復のボートもスピードを出してくれてスリル満点でとても楽しかった。
お天気も良く、適度に風がふいて、絶好のセイリング日和でした。
スマホで撮影してもニッコリ
普段できない、体験を味わえて、高いところが大好きな方には、おススメです。

I participated with nine friends.
There was a guide who was familiar with Japanese, and the humorous people made it a wonderful memory!
It was my first time surfing, and I really appreciated the guide who joyfully celebrated when I caught a wave, as well as the guide who took photos for us. Thank you!
The shallow water and the many cuts from the coral are also part of the memories.

友達9人で参加しました。
日本語に慣れてるガイドさんがいたり、楽しませてくれるユーモアな方々で素敵な思い出になりました！
初めてのサーフィンでしたが波に乗れたことを全力で喜ぶガイドさん、写真撮ってくれるガイドさん、ありがとうございました！
浅く、サンゴで生傷が多々出来たことも思い出です。

I participated in this as one of the activities for my honeymoon! I was worried because the weather forecast predicted rain, but on the day of the event, it was beautifully clear, and the view from above was amazing!! I did feel a bit seasick on the boat after the parasailing experience, which was a little tough, but since the boat was moving relatively fast, the wind felt nice, and I managed to endure it while others were experiencing the activity! I also purchased the photos they took, and there were some great shots of the surrounding scenery! I think it's best to keep your luggage to a minimum and wear something over your swimsuit.

新婚旅行のアクティビティの１つとして参加しました！天気予報が雨だったので心配しましたが、当日はとても快晴で空からの眺めは最高でした！！私はパラセーリングの体験の後の船で船酔いし、少し辛かったですが、比較的スピードを出して動いているので風が気持ちよく、他の方が体験されている間なんとか耐えられました！写真も撮ってもらったデータを購入しましたが、周りの景色などの写真もありとても良かったです！！荷物は最小限で水着の上に何か羽織っていくと良いと思います。
