Oahu
I was able to see many sea turtles up close, and the sandbar was very beautiful, so I was extremely satisfied. The weather was great, making it the perfect day! Since I had my 11-month-old son with me, I didn't participate in snorkeling, but we enjoyed taking photos in the shallow water. The sandwiches after getting in the water were also delicious.
ウミガメも近くでたくさん見れたし、サンドバーもとっても綺麗で大満足でした。
天気も良くこの日は最高!
11か月の息子がいたのでシュノーケリングには参加せず、浅瀬のところで写真を撮ったりして楽しみました。
海に入った後のサンドイッチも美味しかったです。
I participated in early January. It was a cold time with rough waves, so I was worried about seasickness and the cold, but I’m really glad I referred to the reviews. I wore a long-sleeve hoodie and took motion sickness medication the day before.
Most of the women who participated looked very uncomfortable due to seasickness. It seems essential to take motion sickness medication. I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles! I was also lucky enough to witness a whale jump, which is unique to this season, and the cruise in nature was very healing. The hamburger was delicious too! There was also a hula show by the crew, making it a very satisfying activity!
1月上旬に参加しました。寒く波も荒い時期でしたので、船酔いと寒さが心配でしたが、口コミを参考にして本当によかったです。長袖パーカーと酔い止めを前日から服用して参加しました。
参加した女性のほとんどが、船酔いでとても辛そうでした。酔い止めは必ず服用した方が良さそうです。イルカ、海亀をみることが出来ました!この時期ならではクジラのジャンプも運よく見れて、大自然の中のクルーズ癒されました。ハンバーガーも美味しかったです!クルーの方のフラショーもあり、大満足なアクティビティーでした!
On the first day in Hawaii, I participated with my boyfriend. The driver, Yano, who was a local, was very cheerful and friendly, which helped ease my nerves and made it possible for me to go parasailing. We set off with a group of three Japanese female university students, and the guide was also kind.
I heard that for an additional $30, they would take photos with a DSLR, but I thought that was too much, so we decided to take pictures of each other with our smartphones and exchange them. The photos turned out to be quite beautiful.
I challenged myself to parasail at 150 meters, but I didn't feel scared at all. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki was fantastic, and I had a great time. I wore a swimsuit, and there was a fun service where you could splash into the water up to your thighs when coming down, which made me very satisfied. I recommend that those participating during the day take precautions against sunburn and wear sunglasses.
彼氏と2人でハワイ初日に参加しました。
送迎の運転手のヤノさん(現地の方)がとても陽気かつ気さくに話しかけてくれて、
緊張もほぐれてパラセイリングができました。
日本人の女子大生3人組と一緒に出発し、ガイドの方も親切でした。
写真は30ドル追加すると、一眼レフで撮ってくれるそうですが、もったいないので、女子大生とお互いの写真を撮って交換することに。
スマホで撮影したのですが、十分綺麗でした。
150mのパラセイリングに挑戦したのですが、高すぎて怖いという感覚はありませんでした。
ダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキを一望でき、大変楽しかったです。
水着を着用していきましたが、降りてくるときに太ももくらいまで海ポチャというサービスもあり、大満足です。
日中参加される方は、日焼け対策とサングラスの着用をお勧めします。
The staff were all fun and friendly. At the sandbar, they were always attentive to us since we couldn't participate in beach volleyball, and they took many photos for us. The lunch hamburger was also substantial and very delicious! I was thrilled to see many honu and fish☆
スタッフの皆さんは楽しくて親切な方ばかりでした。
サンドバーでは、ビーチバレーに参加出来ない私達をずっと気にかけて頂いて、写真を何枚も撮って下さいました。
ランチのハンバーガーもボリュームがあって、とても美味しかったです!
ホヌもお魚も沢山見られて感激しました☆
I was in Hawaii for business but had a free morning. So I booked this trip as a solo traveler. I think I was the only solo person, everyone else were families. I felt a little odd b/c no one really talked to me, guides included. The guides were very good though - responsible and good intro speech. So happy that one of them found an octopus to touch (though I felt bad for the octopus). The turtles were adorable and came up to breathe very close to us snorkelers. Then we sailed around the bay for a bit which was lovely. I'm very happy I fit this excursion into my business trip.
I was a little unclear on tipping also - the fee said all gratuities included, so I didn't bring any cash. But the guides said to please feed the tip jar if satisfied. Which I was, but I hadn't planned on bringing cash to tip. So that was a little uncomfortable as I didn't want to look like I didn't enjoy myself - I truly did!
Nice cruise. Food was good. Free to move up and down the boat. View was amazing. Caught the best sunset.
Went to my first luau and I have to say, it was a good experience. The staff are as friendly as can be and the performances were amazing. They are very much involved with the crowd making it a special experience and I would definitely recommend this to anyone. Food Buffett was also good, and my friends and I were approached with beautiful lays at the entrance and the best part was we all got 2 drink tickets with the packages we purchased online.
I never knew that parasailing is such a peaceful activity. Before you know it you are hundreds of feet up in the air and nothing but the big blue Pacific Ocean underneath.
If you look at it from land it looks like it as though it is going at a fast speed but once you are up there, it's so calm that it takes you to a different world. The kids were so excited that they wanted to go back up but we will save that for next time.
The crew took this great picture of us that looks like we are on top of the Diamond Head! Thank you Hawaiian Parasail for this once in a lifetime adventure!!!
For the amount of money we paid my fiance and I were disappointed. The boat we took out was dirty and in my opinion not well maintained. We spent less than one hour actually "Snorkeling" and that is what I was hoping for the most. The crew was nice and helpful, but I think I would not recommend this to anyone for the amount of money they charge.
I attended this luau with a friend that actually knew a lot of the workers. The food was so delicious and the greeters were so friendly! As for the show, Tihati really put on a great show! Great experience, I highly recommend this luau. The manager is also friendly and he walks around greeting everyone, I thought was really nice.
This tour was just above and beyond! Im not a beach person nor do I like swimming but this turtle snorkel just made me fall in love with the ocean. The captain and crew were great! They knew exactly how to keep everyone happy and safe! I see so many turtle, fishes and and octopus that the crew actually snatched and had us hold. I love this snorkel and will definitely be going back!
While 1000 ft high up in the air, I felt so at peace with the world and myself. There was no noise at all! I loved this para-sail and would highly recommend it. The captain and crew really take care of you!
We had a wonderful experience at the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise.
This was our second time, but we will absolutely go again.
We had a great time, enjoyed the food and first class service as well as entertainment and fireworks. The only negative was that if you eat different meals, you can't sit together in the same room. The staff did make accommodation and get us together but we never got the steak and lobster that was paid for with the more expensive meal.
I participated with four friends.
We were worried about the weather, but we were blessed with great weather and had a wonderful time!
We enjoyed burgers for lunch on the boat while listening to a lovely live performance!
We also encountered many sea turtles, and everything was amazing! (((o(*゚▽゚*)o)))
友達4人で参加しました。
お天気が心配されましたが、天気にも恵まれ素敵な時間が過ごせました!
お昼のバーガーも船上にて、素敵な弾き語りを聞きながらいただきました!!
ウミガメもたくさん出会えて、全てが最高でした(((o(*゚▽゚*)o)))
Veltra service was perfect. The communication through emails from booking to email reminders as reservation day approached to even a phone call was all above board. We had no problems at the park when we got there with our email confirmation for all activities. It was a time saver at the park.
I was a nervous first Time parasailer, but these guys and their set up was so good and confidence building, I was able to do it easily. And I loved it. I would recommend these operators and parasailing to everyone!
Great experience and service. Weather was nice and the guys funny. We had a wonderful time
I was excited from the moment I got on the boat. The beach volleyball at the sandbar was intense, but that made the hamburgers for lunch taste even better! The snorkeling around the coral reef revealed sights I had never seen before, and I was thrilled to swim with turtles! I definitely want to go again! ((´∀`))
船に乗った時点からワクワクでした、サンドバーに着いてからのビーチバレーは激しかったですがその分お昼のハンバーガーが美味しかったです!
サンゴ礁の周りをぐるり一周するシュノーケリングでは見たことない光景が広がり、亀と一緒に泳げて感動しました!
ぜひまた行きたいです((´∀`))
First of all, we had the experience of riding a glass-bottom boat at various tourist spots, but my eldest and second sons were extremely excited about the submarine. There were many families with small children, and it was great that we could enjoy our time without any issues even when our youngest shouted loudly every time he saw a fish or a turtle inside the vessel. The next day, we were very satisfied playing in the sand at the beach during departure.
先ずは、各観光地でグラスボートに乗船経験はありましたが、潜水艦という事で長男・次男は
大興奮でした。
小さな子供連れの家族が多く、艦内で末っ子が魚・亀を見るたびに大きな声を出しても問題な
く過ごす事が出来ました。
翌日は、出港時のビーチで砂遊びをして大満足でした。
Went with my 11 year old and had a wonderful time! We flew over a sea turtle! Capt Kevin and his assistant Dylan were great!
I had previously experienced parasailing, so I chose this tour, which is more expensive than others.
The meeting place was in front of Quiksilver in the city center. It's easy to find since there aren't many people, but the road isn't very wide and there's no shade, so it was hot while waiting. The pickup vehicle was described as a "colorful trolley bus with the logos of 'Honolulu Screamer' and 'X-Treme Parasail'," but it was just a regular van. Since there were no logos and the staff didn't call out names when they arrived, it's better to ask if a vehicle that looks like it has come.
After checking in at the port, we were assigned to a boat and set off immediately. The boat I was on had 10 people in 5 pairs. The boat goes quite fast, so it rocks a bit. We didn't ride for a long time, but if you're worried about motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication beforehand.
The staff efficiently explained everything and prepared the equipment, and we took turns flying. The actual time in the air was about 5 to 6 minutes, which is quite short. I chose 110 meters, but it didn't feel very high, so I thought I could have gone for 150 meters instead. I'm not great with heights, but I didn't feel scared at all, so I think anyone can enjoy it. Hawaii always has a breeze, but it was very stable in the air, so I could relax and enjoy it.
At the end, it's standard to dip your feet and lower body in the water when landing, but we weren't able to do that since we wore clothes over our swimsuits. I was a bit disappointed because I thought I was prepared to get wet. Those who were only in swimsuits were able to get wet, so if you want to do that, it's better to take off your clothes.
The weather was great, and I enjoyed the beautiful views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the stunning ocean below from the air. Overall, the experience was short, so even those with limited time can easily enjoy Hawaii's beautiful scenery, and I highly recommend it!
パラセイリングは以前体験したことがあったので、他のツアーより高いこちらを選びました。
集合場所は街中のクイックシルバー前でした。人がたくさんいるわけではないので分かりやすいですが、道がそんなに広くない上に日陰がない場所なので、待っている間暑かったです。
迎えの車は、案内では「「Honolulu Screamer」「X-Treme Parasail」のロゴが入った、カラフルなトロリーバス」となっていましたが、普通のバンでした。ロゴが入っているわけでもなく、来てもスタッフの方が名前を呼んでくれるわけでもないので、それっぽい車がきたら自分から聞きに行った方がよいです。
港についてから受付後、ボートを割り振られてすぐに出港しました。私が乗ったボートは2人ずつ5組の10人でした。
ボートはかなりスピードを出すので結構揺れます。そんなに長い時間は乗りませんが、心配な方は酔い止めを飲んどいたほうがいいかも。
スタッフの方がてきぱきと説明、装備の準備をしてくれて順番に飛んでいきました。
実際に空中にいる時間は5,6分くらい。結構短いです。私は110mにしましたが、全然高いという感じはせずちょっと物足りなかったので150mにしてもよかったかなと思いました。
私は高いところが苦手なほうですが、怖いということは全くなかったのでどんな方でも楽しめると思います。ハワイは常に風が吹いていますが、空中でも特に揺れることもなくとても安定していたので安心して楽しむことができました。
最後降りるときに、足や下半身を水につけるのが定番ですが、私たちは水着の上に服を着ていたせいかやってもらえませんでした。濡れてもいい服で行ったつもりだったのでちょっと残念でした。水着のみになっていた方は水につけられていたので、やってもらいたい人は服を脱いだほうがいいです。
天気もよく空中からワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッド、足元に広がるキレイな海を堪能できて、とても気持ち良かったです。
ツアー全体を通しても短い時間で体験できるので、滞在時間が短い方でも気軽にハワイの綺麗な景色を楽しむことができおすすめです!
Great crew, great boat and lots of turtles. We were amazed how close to shore we were and how many turtles we saw. The turtles do not seem to be phased by the snorkelers and just hang around having their shells cleaned by the small reef fish. Fantastic to watch!
I have done snorkeling and diving many times in the past, but I had never experienced swimming with wild dolphins, so I decided to join this tour. The reason I chose this tour was that I read in the reviews that the staff seemed energetic and fun. In the end, choosing this tour was definitely the right decision!
Whether or not we would see dolphins and how many there would be depended on the season and luck, but thanks to the experienced captain searching for the right spots and the staff guiding us diligently, we were able to see many dolphins. We were lucky enough to encounter a rare large pod of nearly 100 dolphins swimming slowly, allowing us to see them up close and swim alongside them, which was incredibly moving!
We boarded the tour bus very early in the morning. I was a bit anxious about finding my pickup location (Sheraton) since it was a large gathering spot for various tours, but the welcoming staff were very energetic and had loud voices, so it was fine. Inside the bus, the chairperson, Julie, began the morning briefing. She explained everything enthusiastically, leaving no time for anyone to doze off, which actually heightened my excitement.
This time, we searched for dolphin spots and traveled quite far north along the west coast, so we spent a considerable amount of time on the boat. The boat did sway quite a bit, but since I took motion sickness medication, I didn’t feel sick; however, I think taking motion sickness medication is essential. On the way to the spot, we saw a few sea turtles from the boat.
I participated in March when the seawater was quite cold, so I wore a wetsuit, which can be rented on-site for $10 (cash only). Besides the cold, there’s also a risk of jellyfish stings, so I recommend wearing one if possible. Most participants on this tour were wearing wetsuits as well. It can get chilly on the boat after snorkeling, so it’s a good idea to bring something to cover up and a towel.
When we arrived at the spot, there were so many dolphins swimming in a pod that it was immediately noticeable. Following the staff's guidance, we swam towards the moving pod and saw many dolphins underwater! The water was clear, and the weather was good, so we could see them clearly, which was fantastic. We were also lucky to see them jumping and spinning multiple times. Since there was a considerable number of dolphins, I believe everyone got to see them, but to increase your chances of seeing them properly, it's best to stay close to the staff and follow their instructions. After a while, we briefly returned to the boat to change locations, but the previous pod came back to the same spot, so we jumped back into the water right away.
Overall, I think we were able to swim with the dolphins for a long time. However, because of that, the time for kayaking, paddleboarding, and snorkeling was shortened, and we spent only about 15-30 minutes at the new spot, which was a bit disappointing. We didn’t see any sea turtles while snorkeling, and there weren’t many fish either. Still, being able to enjoy such a large number of dolphins for a sufficient amount of time was more than enough to satisfy me.
On the return boat ride, we were served cheeseburgers and drinks, and we all danced the hula, making it enjoyable until the end. I was very happy to receive a group photo taken on the boat later via email.
Overall, I thought the staff's response was very smooth, and the tour content was well-organized without any wasted time. Their desire for everyone to see and enjoy the dolphins was evident.
It was an emotional experience and became the highlight of my trip. Thank you very much! If I go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate again!
シュノーケリングやダイビングは過去に何度もやったことがありましたが、野生のイルカと一緒に泳ぐというのは今まで体験したことがなかったのでこのツアーに参加しました。
こちらのツアーを選んだ理由は、体験談の口コミでスタッフの方が元気で楽しそうなところがいいなと思ったからです。
結果として、こちらのツアーを選んで大正解でした!
イルカに会えるかどうか、どのくらいの数がいるかどうかなどは、季節や運などに左右されてしまいますが、ベテラン船長がポイントを探してスタッフの方が一生懸命誘導してくれたので、たくさんのイルカを見ることができました。
運よくめったにない100匹近い大群がゆっくり泳いでいるところに出会えたので、一緒に泳いだと言えるほど近くでゆっくりイルカを見ることができとても感動しました!!
朝とても早い時間にツアーバスに乗り込みます。私がピックアップしてもらった場所(シェラトン)は、とても大きいツアー集合場所でいろいろなツアーの方がたくさんいたので、見つけられるか少し不安になりましたが、迎えのスタッフの方がとても元気で声が大きかったので(笑)大丈夫でした。
バスの中では委員長ジュリーさんの朝礼が始まります。元気いっぱいにいろいろ説明をしてくれて眠る隙は全くありませんでした(笑)逆に期待に気持ちが高まりました。
今回はイルカのポイントを探して、西海岸のかなり北の方まで行ったのでボートの乗っている時間が結構長かったです。ボートはやはり結構揺れるので、私は酔い止めを飲んでいたせいか酔いませんでしたが、酔い止めは必須だと思います。
ポイントに向かうまでの間に、ボートから何匹かウミガメを見ました。
私が参加したのは3月で海水が結構冷たかったので、ウェットスーツを着用しました。その場で$10(現金のみ)で借りることができます。寒さもそうですが、クラゲなどに刺されたりすることもあるそうなのでできたら着用することをおすすめします。今回のツアーでもほとんどの方が着ていました。
シュノーケル後など、船上では寒いこともあるので、羽織れるものとタオルは持って行った方がいいです。
ポイントに着くと、すぐに分かるくらいたくさんの数のイルカが群れになって泳いでいました。スタッフの方の誘導でイルカの群れが動く方に泳いで行き、海の中を見るとたくさんのイルカが見れました!水の透明度も高く天気もよかったためかはっきりと見えてとてもよかったです。しかもスピンしながらジャンプする姿も何度も見れてとてもラッキーでした。
今回はかなりの数のイルカの群れだったので参加者全員見れたと思いますが、ちゃんと見るチャンスを増やすにはなるべくスタッフの方の近くにいてその指示に従って行動するのがいいと思います。
その後一旦ボートに上がってポイントを変えようとしましたが、先程の群れがまた同じ場所に戻ってきたため、またすぐに海に飛び込びました。
トータルするとかなり長い時間、イルカを見ながら泳ぐことができたと思います。ただそのため、その後のカヤック、パドルボード、シュノーケリングの時間が短くなってしまいボートであまり移動せずその場で15~30分程度だったのが、少し残念でした。シュノーケルではウミガメは見れずお魚もあまりいませんでした。
ただ、あれだけの数のイルカをゆっくり十分な時間堪能できたので、それだけで十分満足しました。
帰りの船では、チーズバーガーや飲み物のサービス、みんなでフラを踊り、最後まで楽しませて頂きました。最後にみんなで船上で撮った集合写真を後でメールで送っていただくことができたので、とてもうれしかったです。
全体的にスタッフの方々の対応がとてもスムーズで、無駄のない良いツアー内容だったと思います。全員にイルカを見てもらおう、楽しんでもらおうという気持ちが伝わってきました。
感動的な体験ができて、旅行中の一番の思い出になりました。
本当にありがとうございました!またハワイに行くことがあれば参加したいです!!
Thank you for participating this time! It was very lucky to see a herd of nearly 100! All the staff are dedicated to making sure you enjoy the tour every day. Comments like this are the greatest encouragement for us! Please join us again next time! Mahalo!
この度はご参加頂きありがとうございました!100頭近い群れに会えたなんてとてもラッキーでしたね!スタッフみんな毎日皆さんに楽しんでもらいたい一心でツアーを行っています。このようなコメントは何よりの励みになります!
また是非次回ご参加下さいね!Mahalo!
It was a popular tour, so I participated with high expectations, and it truly was a wonderful experience that did not disappoint. Unfortunately, the temperature was a bit low, and it felt quite cold, but I am grateful for all the photos taken in various poses at the sandbar. We saw many sea turtles, and during snorkeling, we even saw a sea turtle sleeping with its head buried in the coral, which really impressed the kids. It was a great family outing.
人気のツアーということで、期待して参加しましたが、期待を裏切らない素晴らしいツアーでした。あいにく気温がやや低く、寒さを感じるくらいでしたが、サンドバーで色んなポーズの写真を沢山撮って頂き感謝しています。海ガメも沢山見られましたし、シュノーケリングでも、海ガメが珊瑚に頭を突っ込んで寝ているところも見られて、子供たちも感動していました。良い家族サービスができました。
I participated in a tour to the North Shore, which is not easy to access when traveling alone, and I had my first horseback riding experience. During the long drive, I had a great time thanks to the guide's talk and quizzes. It was my first time riding, but the horses were very gentle, and I was able to ride comfortably. Even after returning home, the joy of horseback riding lingered, along with some soreness (laughs). I would love to join this tour again!
1人旅では、なかなか行きにくいノースショアと、初めての乗馬体験で参加しました。
長いドライブ中も、ガイドさんのトーク&クイズで、とても楽しく過ごさせて頂きました。
初めての乗馬でしたが、とても大人しい馬達で快適に乗馬出来ました。帰国後も乗馬の楽しみは、お尻の痛みと共に余韻が残りました(笑)
また、参加したいツアーです‼️
The day started with a hotel pickup, and we participated as a group of seven. Along the way, our guide provided various explanations, and we split up at the Pineapple Station (where we enjoyed pineapple soft serve).
We explored Haleiwa and had a delicious meal at a garlic shrimp place recommended by our guide (not the famous Macky's, but a restaurant run by a Japanese person named Nishikawa, where they carefully cleaned the shrimp). Of course, we also enjoyed Matsumoto Shave Ice.
After that, we were taken to a homey place called Happy Trails for a horseback riding course in Waimea Valley. The guide translated the English explanations for us, so we felt comfortable participating. The horses were as smart as the reviews said, and we enjoyed the ride with views of the ocean. It was my first time riding, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
From there, we gathered again in Haleiwa to meet the LUCKY HONU (sea turtles)! The guide was truly knowledgeable and took us to a beach where we could reliably encounter them, allowing us to take great photos.
Overall, it was a truly fulfilling day. Thank you very much. I would like to participate in the coastal course next time.
ホテルのピックアップから始まり、3パーティ7人で参加しました。途中の道のりも色々と説明してくれて、パイナップルステーションで其々に分かれました。(そこではパイナップルソフトを食す)
私達は ハレイワ散策をして、ガイドさんお勧めのガーリックシュリンプのお店でおいしく頂きました(有名なマッキーズではございません。日本人の西川さんがやっている、ちゃんと背ワタを丁寧に取ったシュリンプです)。勿論マツモトシェイブアイスも食しました。
その後ワイメア渓谷の乗馬コースでアットホームなhappy trailsに送ってもらい、英語の説明も側で訳してくれたので安心して参加出来ました。
馬も口コミ通りお利口で登り下り そして海も望め、初乗馬でしたが充分に堪能出来ました。
そこから再度ハレイワで皆んな集合してLUCKY HONU(ウミガメ)に逢いに!
ガイドさんは本当に情報を持っていて、有名な所ではなく、ちゃんと出逢える海岸に連れて行ってもらいしっかりと写真に収める事が出来て良かったです。
全体を通して 本当に充実した1日でした。
ありがとうございました。
次回は海岸コースに参加してみたいです。
Staff was very nice and helpful. We enjoyed the trip. Food was good for picnic food. It was a cold and windy day. The staff had hot chocolate, tea and coffee ready for everyone. The reef was not that great for snorkeling. Bland colors and not many fish. Watched Finding Nemo one too many times.
Waikiki is clear and sunny!!
But the other side was cloudy.
It was cold...
But the sandbar was beautiful!
By the time we returned to the harbor, it was clearing up nicely, so maybe it would have been better to depart in the afternoon...
Overall, I'm satisfied!
ワイキキは快晴!!
でも裏側は曇りでした
寒かったです、、
でもサンドバーはキレイでした!
港に帰る頃きれいに晴れてきてたのでもしかしたら昼から出発のほがよかったのかな。。
でも総合的には満足です!、
Great cost performance!
Great service!
Great food !
Great entertainment!
