Oahu
I participated with my 22-year-old son. The time spent on the boat was more enjoyable than I had expected, and parasailing was a very fun experience with no swaying. We also took a lot of photos, and it was great that they were put on an SD card for us.
22歳の息子と参加しました
思っていた以上にボートに乗っている時間も楽しく
パラセーリングは揺れもなくとても楽しい体験でした。
写真もたくさん撮っていただいて SDカードに入れていただけたので良かったです
The tour was ok. There are a number of things that this group could do to make this a better, more rounded tour. The tour could have picked us up earlier to get us over to Kaneohe and in the water sooner. As it was the tour/adventure felt forced/rushed instead of being a relaxing experience. He equipment provided could have been of a better quality. Perhaps more time snorkeling for what is billed as a snorkelling adventure would have been better. The crew on the boat were good and tried to make things enjoyable for everyone.
Would highly recommend!! We enjoyed this so so much! Very professional and polite crew!!
The dolphin I wanted to see the most wasn't there. It's disappointing, but there's nothing that can be done, I guess? I encountered sea turtles both on the ocean floor and at the surface; it was my first experience. The staff were young and showed us songs and dances, and they also prepared water slides and kayaks, which was fun. Next time, I definitely want to see the dolphins!
一番見たかったイルカはいませんでした。残念ですが、致し方なし?かな?です。
ウミガメは海底と海面で遭遇、初体験でした。
ただスタッフの方々は若く歌や踊りを見せてくれたり、ウォータースライダーやカヤック等も準備して頂き、楽しかったです。
次回は是非イルカと!
The canyon horseback riding was amazing. After a 30-minute explanation, we had an hour of riding. I was also able to enjoy shopping and dining in Haleiwa. I could shop at the pineapple farm, and finally, I got to see sea turtles. It was a fulfilling day.
渓谷乗馬が最高です。30分の説明の後、1時間の乗馬です。
ハレイワでもゆっくり買い物や食事ができました。
パイナップル農園で買い物もできたし
最後に海カメも見れました。
充実した1日でした。
I decided to go on a trip to Hawaii with my colleagues, and I wanted to try something adventurous, so I chose parasailing. We opted for the middle course, which is 120 meters.
We gathered at 7:45 AM and boarded the boat at 8:00 AM. Since we had rented a car the day before, we arrived 30 minutes early to find parking.
At the reception, it was easy; we just handed over the printed voucher we had reserved in advance.
Since we had some time to spare, we enjoyed watching surfers riding the waves and leisurely exploring the beach.
We moved out to sea on the boat and began parasailing. I think there were about seven groups in total. It took about an hour for everyone to have their turn.
We were the last group to board the boat, but since the order was from the left side, we went up first. It was my first experience, and I screamed out of fear at first! However, once we were up in the air, the stunning views lifted my spirits, and my fear disappeared. (But we did joke about how to survive if we fell from that height, haha.) It was higher than I expected.
You can hold onto your camera or smartphone while parasailing. There are no specific restrictions. However, if you drop something, it won't come back, and when your feet touch the water, you might get splashed, so it's at your own risk.
The staff were very unique and kept us entertained throughout the hour. (I’m sorry I forgot their names.)
Next time I go, I was thinking of trying diving, but I might want to do parasailing again.
Seeing Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, and the small islands in the distance from the sea was breathtaking when we drove back to the North Shore the next day.
I highly recommend this activity!
会社の同僚とハワイ旅行に行くことになり、何か体験をしたいと思いパラセイリングを選びました。
コースは3つあるうちの真ん中120mコースです。
朝7:45集合で8時にボートに乗船。
私たちは前日にレンタカーを借りていたので、駐車場を探す分30分早めに集合しました。
受付では、事前に予約して印刷したバウチャーを渡すだけでOK。
時間まで余裕があったので、波乗りに来ているサーファーさんを眺めたりビーチを散策したりとゆっくり過ごすことができました。
ボートで海上まで移動し、パラセイリング開始。
全部で7組ほどいたと思います。
全組か体験するのに1時間ほどかかりました。
私たちは最後にボートに乗ったのですが、体験の順番は左側からなので1番最初に空の上へ。
はじめての体験で最初はこわーーーー!と叫んでしまいましたが、上空に行ってしまえば素晴らしい景色に気分が高揚し、恐怖心はなくなりました。
(でもここから落ちたらどうやって生き残るかという話はしました笑)
思ってたよりも高かったです。
カメラやスマホは持ったままでも大丈夫です。
特に注意されることはありません。
ただし、落としてしまったら二度と戻っては来ませんし、足が水につかったときに水しぶきがかかる可能性があるので自己責になります。
スタッフの方はとてもユニークで、1時間の間とても楽しませていただけました。
(お名前を忘れてしまってすみません。)
今度行くときはダイビングをしたいと思っていましたが、もう一度パラセイリングをやってもいいなぁ、と思っています。
海上から見るダイヤモンドヘッドや、ワイキキビーチ、遠くに見える小さな島みたいなものを翌日ドライブでノースショアに向かう途中逆から見られたときは感動しました。
おすすめのアクティビティです。
Challenging myself to 120 meters. The few minutes with the stunning blue ocean spread out below me became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii. You don't need to speak English! Motion sickness medication and sunscreen are a must. I don't think I was asked about "japoon," which everyone talks about, but the fun was doubled with the exquisite technique of "japoon"! If anyone is hesitating, I encourage you to challenge yourself before you think too much.
120メートルに挑戦。眼下に広がる真っ青な海と何も邪魔するもののない数分間はハワイ旅行の最高の思い出となりました。英語できなくても大丈夫です!酔い止め&日焼け止めは必須。皆が言ってるじゃぽーんは聞かれなかった気がしますが、絶妙なテクニックでじゃぽーんしてもらって楽しさ倍増でした!悩んでいる人がいたら悩む前にチャレンジしていただきたいです。
We used the service as a couple in December last year. The waves were a bit high, and the round trip to the watching area made us quite seasick, which was unfortunate. For those who get seasick, it's essential to take precautions. There were plenty of sharks around the cage, and it was quite thrilling.
昨年の12月に夫婦で利用しました。
波が少し高く、ウォッチングエリアまでの往復は かなり酔ってしまったのは 残念でした。
船酔いをする人は よい止め必須です。
檻のまわりは 鮫だらけ、迫力がありました。
Everything was awesome! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Burgers were good too.
The local staff really boosted the atmosphere, and I felt a sense of unity with the other guests who were also trying this for the first time. It was so much fun! Once we were up in the sky, all the fear disappeared, and it felt absolutely amazing!
現地のスタッフさんが雰囲気をめちゃ盛り上げてくれて一緒に同乗した他のお客さんたちとも初挑戦するという一体感ができてとても楽しかったです!
空に上がってしまえば怖さも吹っ飛びサイコーに気持ちよかったです‼️
I had a horseback riding experience with my husband. On the day we made our reservation, it was canceled due to heavy rain the day before, but we were able to quickly reschedule and go horseback riding. I had previously ridden at a different place, but this one felt more homey, and the instructor was very nice. They taught us how to ride and handle the horses in a clear and thorough manner. The course took us through the great outdoors for just under an hour. We saw some cute cows along the way. We also had a view of the ocean. Unlike the previous riding place, we were able to stop along the way for photo opportunities. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to visit this riding stable again.
主人と一緒に乗馬体験をしました。予約した日、前日は大雨でキャンセルになりましたが、直ぐに予約を取り直し乗馬をする事ができました。以前は違う所でしましたがこちらの方がアットホームで、インストラクターの方もとても良い方でした。丁寧に乗り方,馬の操り方を分かりやすく教えて下さいました。コースは大自然の中を1時間弱回りました。途中に牛がいてとても可愛かったです。海が見渡せました。以前の乗馬場ではなかった途中で止まって写真撮影もしておただけました。又ハワイに行く機会があればこちらの乗馬場に再度お邪魔したいです
The scenery was absolutely amazing! It ended in the blink of an eye, so I was a bit disappointed that I wanted to enjoy it a little longer!
景色が最高に良かったです!
あっと言う間に終わったので、もう少し楽しみたかったのが少し残念でした!
At first, everything was new and I was anxious, but everyone was very nice and I enjoyed it until the end! The 120m was very high, but I was able to see the scenery and it felt great! Next, I definitely want to challenge myself to the 150m! They also took a lot of photos, and I was very satisfied!
最初は何もかもが初めてで不安でしたが、みんなとても良い方で最後まで楽しめました‼︎120mはとても高かったですが景色も見れて気持ち良かったです‼︎次は150mもぜひ挑戦してみたいです‼︎写真もたくさん撮ってくださり大満足でした‼︎
The fireworks were shorter than I expected (about 5 minutes), so I thought it might not have been necessary to take the boat just for that. However, the atmosphere on the boat with the dining, dancing, and performances, as well as the night view, was very nice. I got seasick as soon as we boarded and couldn't move from my seat much, but the staff was very attentive and considerate. They took photos during boarding and would come around to sell them later. We decided to have the data sent to us via email, but there was no Wi-Fi on the boat, so I couldn't confirm the data reception. Later, it turned out that the data hadn't been sent, but I consulted with VELTRA, and they were able to send it to me after I returned to Japan. I was very grateful for their help. I think it's better to receive the photos in physical form.
予想していたよりも、花火は短かったので(5分くらい)、わざわざ花火のために船に乗らなくても良かったかなと思います。ただ、船上でのお食事や、踊りや演奏など、夜景など雰囲気はとても良かったです。乗船してすぐに船酔いしてしまい、ほとんど席から動くことはできなくなりましたが、スタッフの方たちは、いろいろ気にかけて下さいました。また、乗船時に写真を撮り、後で売りに来ます。私たちはデータのみメール送信してもらうことにしましたが、船内にwifiがなくデータ受信が確認できませんでした。あとで、送られていないことが判明しましたが、VELTRAの方に相談して、日本に帰国してからデータを送ってもらうことができました。VELTRAの方にも大変お世話になりました。写真は、やはり実物で受け取ったほうが良いと思いました。
I participated in this tour because it was the only one that offered hotel pick-up for the sunset sailing. The price is a bit high, but the experience was great, and I was able to see the beautiful sunset. The night view of Waikiki from the sea afterward was also amazing.
サンセットセーリングでホテルまで送迎していただけるツアーがこのツアーのみだったので参加しました。値段は少し高いですが、内容は良くて夕日も綺麗に見れてそのあと海から見るワイキキの夜景も最高でした。
The explanation bus provided clear information for those who are new to dolphins and snorkeling.
I was able to see dolphins very closely several times, which was incredibly moving. However, I was disappointed that I couldn't see any turtles, as I believe we were supposed to. It might have been because we had a hard time spotting the dolphins at first. Also, perhaps due to the location, there weren't many fish around.
You can rent a wetsuit for $10 per person, which is advisable since there are many jellyfish. The wetsuit is shorter than shorts, so if you're concerned, it's better to bring something that covers your legs.
During our free time, I was very satisfied with the amount of time we could spend on stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and kayaking. The hamburgers and pineapples for lunch were also very sweet and delicious.
The staff members were very kind, and I had a wonderful time. Thank you! I would like to participate in other activities the next time I visit Hawaii.
イルカやシュノーケルに関して初めてのかたでもわかりやすいようにせつめいバスでしてくれていました。
イルカはすごく近くで数回見る事が出来てとても感動しました。
ただ、カメも本来は見ることができるはずでしたが、最初イルカを中々見れなかったせいか
カメが見れなかったのは残念でした。
あとは、場所柄なのかほとんど魚はいませんでした。
ウェットスーツを1人10ドルでレンタルできるのでクラゲも多いしかりたほうがいいです。
下が半ズボンより短い長さなので不安でしたら自分で足が隠れるものをもっていったほうがいいです。
自由時間にはSUPとカヤックも満足するくらい行う事が出来てとても満足しました。
お昼ご飯のハンバーガーやパイナップルもとっても甘くておいしかったです。
スタッフの方々もとても優しくて、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございます。
またハワイにいった際にはほかのアクティビティにも参加してみたいです。
Aloha Mahalo,
Thank you very much for participating in the prestigious Dolphin University. We are all thrilled that you had the valuable experience of swimming with wild dolphins.
We also have manta ray tours available on the Big Island, so if you have the opportunity, we would love to welcome you again. We look forward to the day we can see you again, Mahalo.
Once again, thank you for your participation!!
Dolphin Staff, Noriko
Aloha まはろー様
この度は名門イルカ大学へのご参加、誠にありがとうございました。
野性のイルカと一緒に泳ぐという貴重な体験をして頂けてスタッフ一同嬉しい限りです。
ハワイ島にはマンタのツアーもございますので、
機会がございましたら是非お待ちしております。
まはろー様にまたお会いできる日を楽しみにしております。
改めまして、この度はご参加ありがとうございました!!
イルカスタッフ Noriko
I thought it was a bit too simple for the price. I also think the photos could be a bit cheaper. It was backlit, after all.
However, I think it was nice that it was a place where you could enjoy yourself in a short amount of time.
料金の割には、シンプル過ぎるかなと思いました。写真ももう少し安くてもいーかなと。逆光でしたし。
でも、短時間で楽しめる所は良かったと思います。
It was the best experience with beautiful weather amidst the vast scenery. The horse I rode was very well-behaved and easy to ride, and I hope to see that horse again next time. Until then, I will work hard.
広大な風景の中、天気にも恵まれ最高の体験でした。乗った馬がとても良い子で乗りやすくまた次回もその子に会えることを願ってそれまでの間仕事を頑張ろうと思います。
I did 120m.
At the beginning, they asked, "Is it okay to do a Japon?" (laughs)
It's the one where you fall into the water when you come back.
I was trying to take pictures of the scenery at the start, so I unexpectedly did a Japon too! (laughs)
I was a bit anxious since it was my first time, but the view was great and it was amazing! ☆
The driver understood a little Japanese, but everyone was friendly and it was fun!
I took about 70 photos for $30. They ask you at the beginning, so it's definitely better to buy them!
I gave a $10 tip each to the two guys on the boat and the driver.
120mやりました。
初めにジャポーンok?と聞かれます!笑
戻ってくる時に水に落ちるヤツですね。
飛び始めに景色を撮ろうと携帯を触ってたせいか、不意のジャポンもされました!!笑
初めてなので不安だったけど、景色も良く見えて最高でした☆
車のドライバーさんが日本語少し分かるくらいでしたがみんな気さくで楽しかったです!
写真は70枚程で30$。初めに聞かれるので絶対に買ったほうが良いです!
チップは、ボートでの彼ら2名、車のドライバーさんに10$づつ渡しました。
A fun couple of hours snorkelling. Its expensive but enjoyable and memorable
The parasailing itself was great, but out of 10 participants (5 pairs), 3 people were throwing up on the boat after flying, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication before participating!
パラセイリング自体はとても良かったですが、参加者10人(5組)中、3人は飛んだ後に船で吐きまくりだったので、酔い止めを飲んで参加することをお勧めします!
The authentic hula is truly wonderful. The powerful fire dance, delicious food, and I really felt that I had come to Hawaii.
The couple sitting next to us, Mr. and Mrs. J from Montana, were very friendly. We chatted using a mobile translator, laughed, and had a really enjoyable luxurious time.
やっぱり本場のフラは素敵です。迫力のファイヤーダンス、美味しい食事、と、ああハワイに来たんだな、と実感しました。
お隣に座った、モンタナから来られたJさんご夫婦はとてもフレンドリーな方でした。携帯の翻訳でおしゃべりをして、笑って、本当に楽しい豪華な時間を過ごさせていただきました。
we were fortunate to see 2 species of dolphins, a humpback whale and sea turtles! The 3 women who were on board- the photographer, the captain, and our tour guide were all super friendly and knowledgeable. If you are looking to see Koran of fish in the water and sea life, this is not the tour but if you are looking to see some mammals and hop in the Ayer from time to time then this is it!
It was unfortunately rainy, but it was really, really great. Our guide was Japanese and shared a lot of useful information about the current situation in Hawaii, the importance of seat belts, and other helpful tips, making the bus ride enjoyable.
In Haleiwa, despite the rain, we were able to tour the area by bus, and the guide provided various information beforehand, which made it very easy and efficient to get around. Personally, Teddy's Bigger Burgers was incredibly delicious...
I thought I might not be able to see the sea turtles because of the rain, but I was able to! I was so happy.
And above all, horseback riding! It was really great. As the name suggests, we walked along the beach the whole time. It felt quite relaxed, in an American way, but that allowed for a lot of interaction with the horses, which was fun. The horse I rode was a mischievous one that kept wandering off the line to eat grass, but the instructor only stepped in during those moments. It was a shame it rained, so I’d like to try again on a sunny day! I'm glad I participated!!
あいにくの雨だったのですが、すごくすごく良かったです。日本人のガイドさんで、ハワイの現状、シードベルトの大切さ笑、耳寄り情報など、ためになる情報もたくさん教えてくれて、バスに乗ってるだけで楽しかったですね。
ハレイワでは、あいにくの雨だったのですが、ハレイワの道を一通り全てバスで周り、ガイドさんが事前に色々案内した上で、降ろしてくれる流れだったので、とてもわかりやすく効率的にまわることができました。個人的にテディーズバーガーがとろけるほど美味しかったです…
ウミガメは雨だったので無理かなーと半分諦めていたのですが、見ることができました!嬉しかったです。
そしてなんといっても乗馬!すごくよかったですよ。その名の通り、海辺をずっと歩きます。アメリカっぽく結構放置?笑気味だったのですが、そのぶん馬と交流ができて、楽しかったです。わたしが乗った馬はやんちゃな馬で、すぐ列からはみ出して草を食べに行っちゃう男の子だったのですが、そういう時にのみインストラクターのおじさんが対応してくれました。雨だったのだけ残念だったので、晴れの時にまた挑戦したいな!と思います。参加してよかったです!!
We were picked up by a large bus decorated with dolphins right from the start of the day, which really got us excited! The staff inside the bus were energetic and provided clear and entertaining explanations, and before we knew it, we arrived at the boarding location. Once on board, we were lucky enough to encounter dolphins right away and had a great view of wild dolphins! It was a bit unfortunate that the water was murky, but everyone enjoyed snorkeling and paddleboarding, spending their time as they pleased. I wasn't feeling well and rested on the boat, but even then, the staff kindly checked on me, and I am very grateful for that. Afterward, we had a lot of fun with hamburgers, snacks, hula dancing, and more, creating wonderful memories (●´ω`●). I highly recommend this for honeymooners (♡ˊvˋ♡)!
朝イチからイルカのペイントがされた大きなバスでお迎えにきていただきテンションがあがります♪車内もテンションの高いスタッフさんが面白くわかりやすく説明してくださりあっという間に乗船場所へ着きました。乗船すると運良くすぐにイルカに出会うことができ、バッチリ野生のイルカを見ることができました!!少し海が濁っていたのが残念ですが、その後も皆さんシュノーケルをしたりSUPをしたりと思い思いの時間を過ごすことができました。私わ体調が悪くなり船の上で休んでいましたが、その時もスタッフさんが優しく声をかけてくれてとても感謝しています。その後ハンバーガーやお菓子、フラダンス等内容盛りだくさんでとてもいい思い出ができました(●´ω`●)ハネムーンの皆さん(♡ˊvˋ♡)おすすめです♪
Aloha Shoko,
Congratulations on your graduation from the prestigious Dolphin University! We are all very pleased to hear from your comments that you enjoyed your experience.
We look forward to the next opportunity to meet you again. Once again, thank you very much!!
Dolphin Office, Noriko
Aloha ショウコ様
この度は名門イルカ大学ご卒業おめでとうございます!
ショウコ様のコメントよりとてもお楽しみいただけた様子が伝わり、スタッフ・クルー一同大変嬉しく思っております。
また機会がございましたら次回お会いできる日を楽しみにしております。
改めまして、この度はありがとうございました!!

This is a “must do” activity. You can spend an entire day, or just a few hours. We ended up spending about 6:00 hours and loved every bit. Go early, as the crowds are not bad in the mornings before 9:00.
There were no Japanese people other than us, but the atmosphere was enjoyable with families, couples, and people from various countries. The price included two free drinks, but we were told that there was no charge for the third drink, making it all-you-can-drink. Just make sure not to forget to give a tip to the staff instead of paying the bill. The sunset was wonderful, and I thought the night view after sunset was worth a million dollars.
日本人は我々以外居なかったが、家族連れやカップル、いろんな国からの人達で楽しい雰囲気だった。
代金には2フリードリンクでしたが、3杯目からも代金は要らないと言われ、飲み放題でした。
ただ代金の支払いの代わりにスタッフにチイップを渡すのは忘れないように。
サンセットは素晴らしく、日没後の夜景も100万ドルの価値があると思いました。
Due to strong winds for two consecutive days, we had to turn back from the sea, but on the third try, we finally experienced parasailing in the best conditions. I brought my camera to take pictures while ascending, but I was so captivated by the scenery that I didn't take many photos. I'm glad I asked the staff to take pictures for me; they took about 200 photos for just $30.
2日連続の強風で海上で中止引き返しましたが、三度目の正直で最高のコンディションでパラセーリングを経験出来ました。
写真を撮ろうとカメラを持って上昇しましたが、景色に見とれてあんまり撮れず、スタッフにカメラ撮影を頼んで良かったです。30ドルで約200枚撮ってくれました。
Lovely hike! The water and hiking stick as well as the bug spray that was provided, was greatly appreciated.
I chose VEITRA because it allowed me to fulfill both my desire to visit Haleiwa and to go horseback riding. I'm glad I selected this option because they guided me efficiently through the things I wanted to do in Haleiwa (I wanted to see sea turtles, eat garlic shrimp, try shave ice, and do a little shopping), so I didn't have to worry about getting lost.
I was able to enjoy horseback riding while looking at the ocean, which was very pleasant. It's a shame that I could only take one photo while riding the horse, and I couldn't stop it from eating grass. The guide shared various stories while driving, which was helpful.
ハレイワに行きたかったのと 乗馬が したかったのを両方叶える事が出来るので VEITRAにしました、
こちらを選んで 良かったと思うのは ハレイワでやりたい事 (ウミガメが見たい、ガーリックシュリンプを食べたい、シェイプアイスも食べたい、お買い物も少ししたい)を無駄なく 案内してくれるので 迷う事が有りません。
乗馬も海を見ながら 気持ち良く出来ました、
草を食べるのを辞めさせる事は出来ませんでしたが
馬に乗ってる写真が一枚しか撮れなかったのは残念です。
ガイドの方は運転しながら 色々な話をして下さり参考になりました。
