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。

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

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 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。

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！

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

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！

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。

We were picked up by the hotel and after waiting for about 10 minutes, we boarded a boat with six groups and headed out to sea. The view from the boat was amazing with the blue sky and ocean. Everyone felt like friends, and we had fun high-fiving each other.

We had booked the parasailing for 150. The breathtaking view from the top was indescribable. It was beautiful! So much fun!!! The landing with a splash into the sea was also enjoyable.

On the way back, we stayed in Kaka'ako and enjoyed Walmart.

ホテルにお迎えにきてもらい、待つこと10分程度、、６組でボートに乗り込み、沖へ向かいます。ボートからの景色は青空・海で最高の景色です。全員が仲間のような感じで、ハイタッチをしたり楽しく参加できました。
パラセーリングは、150を申し込んでおりました。一番上まであがったときの絶景は言葉に出来ませんでした。綺麗！楽しすぎる！！！着地で海にジャボーンとしてくれるのも楽しかったです。
帰りはカカアコ にそのまま滞在し、ウォールマートと堪能できました。

This tour is highly recommended! You can taste Hawaii's specialties, enjoy nature, and watch turtles. Even my father, who is over 60, was able to enjoy it without any difficulty. If you come to Hawaii, I definitely want everyone to experience this!

First, at the Dole Plantation, you can enjoy freshly squeezed pineapple juice for just $2.50! It's a great deal, and you can savor the true flavor of pineapple without any additives, so I absolutely recommend it!

Next, the horseback riding takes you through a forest with ups and downs, making the one-hour ride completely engaging! The horses are all thoroughbreds and very stable, so it's reassuring, and it's kind of cute when they occasionally get bored and start munching on grass (*^-^*). The staff were also very cute and kind!

After that, our guide took us to a hidden gem for garlic shrimp that locals use, and we enjoyed incredibly plump and delicious shrimp! Apparently, the garlic shrimp from the North Shore is made from fresh shrimp, making it even tastier♪

Above all, the highlight of this tour is the guide!

The amount of knowledge is amazing!! And they are entertaining! They share all sorts of interesting stories about Hawaii's history, recent events, and trendy shops, so you won't get bored during the travel time! Also, if you ask, "Are there places like this nearby?" they will guide you by car if it's close, which was very helpful☆

The guide and this route were both fantastic, so I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii! (*^▽^*)

このツアーはかなりオススメです！
ハワイの特産物を味わって、自然を楽しみ、カメを観て・・還暦を過ぎた父でも無理なく全然楽しめる内容で、ハワイに来たら是非みなさん体験して頂きたいです！

まずドールプランテーションでは搾りたてのフレッシュパイナップルジュースが2.5$で飲めてしまうお得さ！
交ざり物なしでパイナップル本来の味を楽しめるので、絶対オススメです☆

次の乗馬はアップダウンのある森の中を散策するので１時間全く飽きない！馬もみんなサラブレッドで安定している子達なので安心ですし、たまに飽きて草とか食べ始めちゃうのもなんかかわいい(*^-^*)
係りのお姉さんもとてもキュートで優しい方達でした♪

その後はガイドさんに地元の人が利用する穴場のガーリックシュリンプ屋さんを教えて頂き、それはもうプリップリでおいしい海老をいただきました！
どうやらノースショアのガーリックシュリンプは生の海老から作られているのでより美味しいらしいです♪

なんといってもこのツアーの一押しは、『ガイドさん』です！

知識量がすごい！！そしておもしろい！ハワイの歴史や最近の話、流行りのお店などありとあらゆる話を面白おかしく案内してくれるので、移動中も本当に飽きないです！
また、『こうゆうところはありますか？』と聞くと近場であれば車で案内して下さったりもするので、とても助かりました☆

ガイドさんもこのルートもとてもよかったので、ハワイに行くときはまたぜひ参加したいです！(*^▽^*)

Our family of 4 really enjoyed the unique and thrilling wave rides on the Outrigger Canoe.
My husband said it was his favorite activity of our entire week long trip and we did activities every day!

The sunset dinner was truly a great experience. Everything was very well organized. We were served champagne to begin with and helped ourselves to fresh cheese, crackers and fruit trays. And those were left out for everyone the entire trip, which is beneficial when you have kids who might not like the whole dinner but still want to eat something. The entire dinner was fresh and tasty, and plentiful. Beverages were refilled as necessary but there weren't a lot of soda options. The sunset was beautiful. You just have to keep watch for the ideal time to take pictures of your experience. The entertainment was great, with music and dancers. Great experience overall!!

We went with five people, and we were able to enjoy both the boat and parasailing just among ourselves! It was great that we could choose our own time and that it was close to Waikiki, allowing us to return immediately after the activities. Not spending too much time on the activities was really helpful.

5人でいきましたが5人のみでボートもパラセーリングも楽しめましたー！時間も好きに選べるのとワイキキから近くアクティビティが終わったらすぐに帰れる所も良かったです！アクティビティに大幅に時間とられないのは大変助かります

This is my seventh time in Hawaii, and at my husband's request, we tried parasailing for the first time. We went up to the lowest height of 90 meters, but the view was amazing as we could see Diamond Head, Waikiki, and the ocean in a 360-degree panorama. The staff were locals who kindly explained everything in English and broken Japanese. They kept the atmosphere lively while we watched others, which made it fun. I'm glad we participated!

今回で7回目のハワイですが、夫の希望で初めてパラセイリングに挑戦しました。一番低い、90メートルの高さでしたが、海の上からダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキと海が360度見渡せてすばらしい景色でした。スタッフは現地の方で、英語と片言の日本語で親切に説明してくれました。他の人がやっているのを見ている間も、場を盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです。参加して良かったです!

It was my first time watching fireworks. It was a wonderful time and I had fun. The fireworks were beautiful, and the food was good.

花火観賞は初めてでした。
素敵な時間になり楽しかったです
花火も綺麗だったし、食事もgood

I was worried about being late for the pickup time, so I called the parasailing company, and they responded in broken Japanese! They were able to change the pickup location for me, and I made it on time! The driver and staff were cheerful, and we had a great time (^^)

Even at 150 meters, I didn't feel scared, and my wife, who isn't fond of heights, enjoyed it as well, so I'm very satisfied!

急遽ピックアップ時間に遅れそうになったので、パラセーリング会社に電話してみると、片言の日本語で対応してくれました！
無事ピックアップ場所を変えてもらい間に合うことができました！
送迎の運転手もスタッフも陽気な方で楽しむことができました(^^)

150ｍでも恐怖感がなく、高い所が苦手な奥さんも楽しめたので満足です！

My mom and aunt participated with my 5-year-old grandson and grandma while shopping at Waikele. Since the program started at 9:30, we listened to the explanation right after arriving and got ready to start. They helped us find the right size life jackets and put them on. From there, we walked to the pool. We could leave our belongings by the poolside without using a locker, so it was fine to bring them along.

They carefully checked for any protruding nails or rings. Flat nails seemed to be okay. We were checked three times, which was a bit tedious. Since the checks were only for hands, I wondered if they didn't check for protruding items on feet, as others had mentioned.

Regarding the purchase of photos, there was a misunderstanding due to the language barrier, which caused some trouble later, so it might be better if the Japanese staff explained the purchasing process properly. Overall, I was satisfied with the experience alongside my grandson.

After the program ended, we changed clothes, ate the sandwiches we brought, and took a break at the poolside viewing area. My grandson fell asleep, allowing me to enjoy the ocean view for about an hour. Eventually, the show started, and my grandson was satisfied.

I reflected that the shows at Japanese aquariums might put too much burden on the animals. With the $10 ticket we received as a gift, I bought a dolphin plush toy, enjoyed some drinks and ice cream, and had a great time for an additional $6.

ママと叔母はワイケレでショッピングの間、５歳の孫とばぁばで参加しました。９：３０からのプログラムでしたので到着後説明を聞いたらすぐに準備し、スタートです。ライフジャケットはぴったりサイズを探して装着してくれました。そこからプールまで歩いて移動です。荷物はロッカーを使わなくてもプールサイドに置いておけますので持っていって大丈夫でした。
突起物の付いているネイルや指輪などは念入りにチェックされました。
フラットなネイルは大丈夫そうでした。３回はチェックされるので少し辟易しました。チェックは手ばかりでしたので、他の方も書いておられましたように足の突起物はチェックしないのかしらと疑問に思ってしまいました。
写真の購入は、説明が通じず後でトラブルになりましたので購入の説明は
日本語スタッフがきちんとしていただいた方がよろしいのではないでしょうか。
全体的には孫とともに満足しています。
プログラム終了後着替え、持ってきたサンドイッチを食べプールの観覧席で休憩をしてましたら、孫が寝てしまい１時間ほどゆっくりと海の景色を楽しめました。やがてショーの時間が始まり孫は満足していました。
日本の水族館のショーは動物に負担がかかりすぎているのかも知れないと改めて思いました。
プレゼントでついていた１０ドルチケットでイルカのぬいぐるみを買い、飲み物とアイスを食べ、追加で６ドルほどで楽しめました。

I enjoyed this event very much because of the beautiful view and interesting stories about the stars. At about 8 to 8:30 pm, the sky was getting darker and darker. I was able to many stars in the sky with my naked eyes. However, if your eyesight is not very good, I recommend you bring your glasses or wear contacts. I was able to see the cluster of stars, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and more through the telescope. I really liked it, especially because it is such a rare opportunity to observe the stars through telescopes.

In no time, we ascended 100 meters, and from Diamond Head, we could see the buildings beautifully from Waikiki Beach. The sky and the sea were both incredibly beautiful and it was the best! I tend to get motion sickness and forgot to take my anti-nausea medication, which made me feel quite sick, but everyone was very kind to me. I would love to participate again if I have the chance! The transportation was also smooth.

あっという間に 100mあがり ダイヤモンドヘッド ワイキキの浜辺からビルも綺麗に見えました。
空も海も とても綺麗で最高でした！
あたしは 乗り物酔いしやすく 酔い止めの薬を飲み忘れ ゲロゲロになりましたが 皆さん親切にしてくださいました。
また機会があったら参加したいです！
送迎もスムーズでした

Myself & family wasn’t super impressed with activity, not too exciting & too hot/slow, too big of groups to wait in heat. Staff was super nice thou no change with them.

Meal was so wonderful! Even the veggie hamburger provided us was wonderful!
The dancers were so amazing! And entertaining! Entertained to well past docking!
If I had a suggestion it would be for the website to further explain, or make it easier to order the veggie burger.
