All Reviews for Water Sports in Waikiki

I learned about canoe surfing about five years ago and wanted to try it. Finally, it was available in Hawaii, so I went!

I arrived early at the meeting point, checked in, and within a few minutes, the staff came to explain about the canoe. Then we were off! Riding the waves with the wind in my face was absolutely amazing!

It wasn't just a one-time experience; it was an activity that made me want to do it again!

５年位前に知って、やってみたかったカヌーサーフィン
やっと、ハワイ解禁、行ってきました！

早めに集合場所に着いて、チェックインすると数分で
スタッフが来て、カヌーでの説明をして、いざ！
風をきって波に乗って・・・最高に気持ち良かった♪

1回体験すればいいや・・・ではなく、また、やりたいなぁと
思うようなアクティビティでした

It was an incredibly fun and unique experience, like flying in the vast sky! From a height of 150 meters above the sea, I could see Diamond Head and the streets of Hawaii; it felt like a dream.

It was my first time parasailing, and I thought I would be sitting in a chair while flying. I didn't realize that you sit in a harness like on a zip line, which made my bottom feel a bit unstable and added to the thrill. It was a little scary, but the fun definitely outweighed it! It might be tough for those with a fear of heights...

Also, they took photos during the experience that you can purchase for $40. Instead of just one photo, they gave me the entire microSD card with 120 images! If you want, they can connect it to your iPhone on the spot to transfer the photos, but I couldn't do that since I have an iPhone 15 with a type-C port (;^ω^).

For your reference, here are some concerns I had before the experience and my actual experience:

- I was a bit worried that I might feel nauseous like I do on roller coasters, but I didn't feel that sensation at all.

- I had heard from various people that the boat ride to the parasailing spot makes you really seasick, but since I don't usually get motion sickness, I was completely fine. In fact, the boat rocked quite a bit, which I found enjoyable, and the wind felt great. I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication beforehand.

- The staff were locals, and they helped me put on the safety gear while explaining things in simple Japanese, like "lift your legs," so it went smoothly. You don't need to worry if you don't understand English.

Overall, it was a really enjoyable activity without any worries. I would love to do it again if I get the chance!

大空を飛んでいるような唯一無二の体験ができて最高に楽しかったです！
海上150ｍの高さからからダイヤモンドヘッドやハワイの街並みが見えて、夢のような時間でした。

パラセイリングは初めてだったのですが、椅子に座って飛行するものだと思っていたのでジップラインのようにベルト？に座って飛行することを知らず、おしりが不安定でなかなかスリルがありました。
少し怖かったけど、断然楽しさが勝ちます！高所恐怖症の方には辛いでしょうが…

また、体験中の写真を撮ってくれて40ドルで購入できるのですが、1枚だけではなくmicroSDごとくれて、120枚のデータが入っていました！
希望すればその場でケーブルに繋ぎiPhoneに転送もしてくれますが、私はiPhone15でtypeCなのでダメでした(;^ω^)


以下ご参考までに、体験前に不安だった事と実際の体験談です↓
・私はジェットコースターの胃が浮く感覚が苦手なので胃がふわっとしないか少し不安だったのですが、そういう感覚は全くありませんでした。

・色々な人から「パラセイリングに行くまでの船がめちゃくちゃ酔うよ！」と聞いていましたが、もともと乗り物酔いをしない体質という事もあり全く酔いませんでした。むしろ船がけっこう揺れるのが楽しくて、風が気持ち良かったです。
酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲んでいった方が良いと思います。

・スタッフの方は現地の方ですが、救命道具の着用は「足あげて」等と簡単な日本語で説明しながら手伝ってくれるのでスムーズでした。英語がわからなくても心配いりません。

こんな感じで、不安もなく本当に楽しいアクティビティでした。
機会があればまたやってみたいです！

I forgot to bring motion sickness medication, but the friendly staff provided some for me. The boat ride to the parasailing spot was quite bumpy, so it's better to bring motion sickness medication.

It was more thrilling than I expected and I had a great time.

酔い止めを持ってくるのを忘れたけど、親切なスタッフが渡してくれました。
パラセイリングの場所までの船が結構大きく揺れたので、酔い止めは持って行った方が良いです。

思ったよりも迫力あって楽しかったです。

The staff were all kind and amazing. Although there was no shuttle service, it was a nice walk from Outrigger Waikiki. The 150m world was silent.

スタッフの方も皆さん親切で最高でした。送迎無しでしたがアウトリガーワイキキから歩いてちょうどいい散歩です。１５０mの世界は無音でした。

When traveling by boat, there were quite a few waves, and it was pretty rocky! Since there were only two groups, including us, the time spent being rocked by the boat was relatively short. However, I recommend taking motion sickness medication just in case there are more groups. (*^^*) At first, I thought it might be scary, but once I actually flew, there wasn't much sensation of floating, and it was so much fun! It was a precious and amazing time!

船で移動する時は、結構波もあってだいぶ揺れました！私達は、自分ら含めて2組だったので、あまり船に揺られる時間は短かったですが、何組かいる場合のことを想定して酔い止めを飲んでいくことおすすめします(*^^*)
初めは怖いかもと思っていましたが、いざ飛んでみるとそんなに浮遊感もなくとっても楽しかったです！貴重な最高の時間でした！

My first parasailing experience was very enjoyable. The view from 150 meters above was amazing. The photos taken by the staff cost $40 plus a tip, so I didn't request them, but I asked a couple who boarded the boat with us to take pictures from below. All the photos turned out beautifully. Since the sun was hot, I recommend going around 8 AM!

初めてのパラセーリングとても楽しかったです。
150m上空から眺める景色は最高でした。
スタッフに依頼する写真は$40+チップなのでお願いしませんでしたが、船へ一緒に乗船したカップルにお願いし下から撮影してもらいました。どの写真も綺麗でした。
日差しが暑かったので、8時〜をオススメします！

We participated as a group of three, and since we were able to ride together, we didn't have to share with strangers. A few years ago, when I went parasailing with another company, it was awkward to ride with someone I didn't know, so I was glad to enjoy this experience. We stayed at the Hilton, so we didn't need transportation. I would like to use this service again.

３人で参加しましたが、３人乗りにして貰えたので、知らない人と一緒に乗ることはありませんでした。何年か前に別のパラセイルに行った時は知らない人と相乗りで気まずかったので、今回は楽しめて良かったです。ヒルトンに宿泊で、送迎も要りませんでした。また利用したいと思います。

We participated as a group of three. I had heard beforehand that it would be difficult for three people to fly together, but on the day, it went smoothly and we were able to fly as a family. The ground staff were very polite and friendly, which made us feel at ease. The boat staff were quick and we were able to fly smoothly. We also got to know other participants, creating a sense of unity as we waved and applauded each other. We asked for photos, and they took many shots of various moments, surprising us with how clearly our faces were captured in the air. Since returning to the hotel, we've enjoyed looking back at them multiple times.

3人で参加しました。事前の情報では3人で飛ぶことは難しいと聞いていたのですが、当日はすんなりOKで家族揃って飛ぶことができました。
地上スタッフもとても丁寧で親しみやすくて安心できました。ボートのスタッフも手早くてスムースに飛ぶことができました。
他の参加者とも仲良くなれて、手を振ったり、拍手をしたりと一体感も生まれました。
写真もお願いしたのですが、いろんな場面をたくさん撮ってくれたうえに、空中での顔がはっきり写っていたのにはびっくりしました。ホテルに帰ってからも何度も見直して楽しんでいます。

It was my first experience surfing, but with the guidance of Hans and Edd, I was able to stand up right away. They also captured it well on video, making it a wonderful memory. I highly recommend it!

サーフィン初体験でしたが、Hansさん、Eddさんの手ほどきですぐに立つことが出来ました。動画にもしっかり撮ってくれて、とても素晴らしい思い出になりました。おすすめです！

Thank you for taking photos and creating memories. It felt great to have a panoramic view of Waikiki from a height of 120 meters. I highly recommend it.

写真撮影もしてくださり、思い出になりありがとうございました。
120メートルの高さで、ワイキキが一望できてとても気持ちよかったです。
とてもおすすめです。

We set off on a boat with a group of about 10 people. There were 2 staff members who were friendly and communicated in simple Japanese. The clear weather allowed us to enjoy a stunning view of Waikiki from the sea, which was breathtaking! I recommend this to everyone visiting Honolulu.

10名ほどのグループでボートに乗り出発。
スタッフは2名、フレンドリーで簡単な日本語の対応もしてくれました。
快晴で飛んだ海上からはワイキキの景色が一望できて、圧巻でした！ホノルルにいくすべての人におすすめ。

My first parasailing experience was so much fun! I participated in the last session at 5 PM and was able to see Diamond Head and the streets of Waikiki illuminated by the sunset from above.

There was one instance where it was canceled due to strong winds, and I had to change the date and rebook. I received the cancellation notice via email about 2 to 3 hours in advance.

There were about 10 to 15 participants, and besides us, there was one other Japanese person, so we took photos and videos of each other from the boat. I participated in parasailing with my smartphone in a waterproof case, and while descending, my butt and feet touched the sea, but my upper body was fine, so my smartphone didn’t get submerged.

I couldn’t find any changing rooms or restroom spaces, so I went back to the hotel as I was.

人生初のパラセイリング楽しかったです！
最終の17時から参加して、夕日に照らされるダイアモンドヘッドやワイキキの街並みを上空から見ることができました。
１度は強風の影響で中止となり、日程を変更して再予約をしての参加となりました。
中止の連絡は2〜3時間前にメールが届きました。

参加人数は10〜15名ほどで、私たちの他に日本人が1苦味いらっしゃったので、お互いに写真と動画を船から撮り合いました。
スマホを防水ケースに入れてパラセイリングに参加しましたが、降下する際にお尻や足が海につくくらいで上半身は無事だったので、スマホが水没することもなかったです。

更衣室やトイレ等の着替えられるスペースは見当たらなかったので、そのままホテルまで帰りました。

This is the second takeoff following last year. As expected, I'm used to it now and have no sense of fear. The view was fantastic, and it was a bundle of refreshing feelings. The captain and crew's skills were perfect. It's a tour with no complaints.

昨年に続き2回目のテイクオフ。さすがに慣れて恐怖感は無し。眺めの良さと爽快感の塊でした。キャプテンとクルーの技術も完璧。ゆうことなしのツアーです。

The meeting place was hard to find, and I was made to wait a long time, which was disappointing, especially since I was treated rudely. However, I managed to make it in time for the start, and once I joined, the instructor who went into the sea with us was very kind and great. There weren't many fish, but the starfish were interesting. I also enjoyed the scenery of Magic Island.

待ち合わせ場所がわかりづらく、長く待たされたうえ、失礼な態度を取られたのが残念でした。何とか開始時間に間に合い，気を取り直して参加したところ、海に一緒に入ってくれたインストラクターはとても親切で良かったです。魚はたくさんではないけど，ヒトデがおもしろかった。マジックアイランドの景色も楽しめました。

The best experience ever. The crew members were helpful and nice.

It was good. My luggage was minimal, but not too minimal, which was fine. I could fit a suitable bag under the seat on the boat. I didn't bring any money to reduce my luggage, but I needed cash for tips.

よかったです。荷物は最小限ですが、最小過ぎなくていいです。適当な鞄を船の座席の下に入れられます。荷物減らすためにお金も持って行かなかったけどチップのために現金は必要でした。

I experienced the 150m jump.

I think it's a cost-effective tour since you can experience it and return in about an hour, making good use of your valuable time on-site.

The time in the air seems short, and there's a bit of fear, so I found it just right.

From above, you can see Diamond Head, the beach, and the cityscape all at once, so I highly recommend it.

150mを体験しました

１時間ほどで体験し帰って来れるので貴重な現地時間の中ではコスパの良いツアーだと思いました

上空の時間は短いようで、多少の怖さもあるので丁度良いと思いました

上空からダイヤモンドヘッドからビーチ、街並みまで一望できるのでオススメです

I don't speak Japanese, but that's totally fine! (They can communicate in broken Japanese.) The instructor was super fun and enjoyable! It said to carry as little luggage as possible, but you can fit one bag under the seat on the boat, so it's okay. When I went, there were three groups, so even when it wasn't our turn, we were on the boat the whole time, so it's better to bring water to stay hydrated! (They were selling small bottles of water at the reception.) It seems there are options for two or three people, so even with three, you don't have to worry about someone being left out. I also requested the photo service, and if you have an iPhone, they give you the data right there, and you can also get it on an SD card. You can see Diamond Head from the sea, so if you're in Hawaii, you definitely should do this!

日本語通じないけど、全然大丈夫！
(カタコトの日本語では喋ってくれます)
インストラクター？のおじさんめちゃめちゃ愉快で楽しかったです！
荷物はなるべく持たないで…って書いてあったけど、鞄1つくらいなら船の椅子の下にしまえるので大丈夫です。
私の時は3組同じだったので、自分たちの番じゃない時もずっと船に乗っているので水分も忘れず持って行った方がいいです！(受付でも小さいボトルのお水売ってました)
2人用と3人用があるみたいで、3人とかでも1人溢れる心配とか要らないです。
写真サービスもお願いしましたが、iPhoneだとその場でデータくれますし、SDカードでも貰えました。
海からダイヤモンドヘッドまで一望できるので、せっかくハワイに来たならぜひやってほしいです！

It was a windy day, so I was worried about whether it would happen, but it went ahead and I was super excited. The time flew by while I was in the air. The staff were great, and it was a wonderful experience.

風の強い日だったので出来るか不安でしたが、決行されてテンションマックスに。
飛んでいる間はあっという間でした。
お兄さん達の雰囲気も良く素敵な時間でした。

I chose the 150m plan.
We went up into the sky all at once, and when I noticed, the ship was quite far below.
It went higher than I imagined, and it was fun.

It's a place you can walk to from Waikiki, and it opens at 8 AM, so I was able to make good use of my time.
I highly recommend it.

150mのプランにしました。
一気に上空に行き、気付くと、船がかなり下～～のほうに。
想像以上に高くまで上がり、楽しかったです。

ワイキキから歩いていける場所で、朝8時からやっているので、
時間を有効に使うことができました。
おススメです。

My sister really wanted to do this activity, but her husband reluctantly participated. However, he came back with a satisfied look, saying he had a great time.

姉が、絶対やりたかったアクティビティで、ご主人はイヤイヤの参加でした。しかし、とても楽しかったと満足顔で戻って来ました。

The ocean is beautiful, the weather is great, and it's the best! I definitely recommend experiencing this when you come to Hawaii. I found out that Veltra offers affordable and safe activities, so I want to try other activities next time. The family I shared the boat with was also very lovely, which made it even more enjoyable and created great memories.

海は綺麗で、天気も良く、最高です！ハワイに来たら是非体験するのがおすすめです。
ベルトラはお安く、安全なアクティビティを提供していると分かったので、次も他のアクティビティなど体験したいです。
同じ船に乗り合わせた方もとても素敵なファミリーだったので、いっそう楽しく良い思い出になりました。

The view from 150 meters high was spectacular. However, there were other people as well, so there was some waiting time on the boat. During that time, I felt a bit seasick. I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness bring some medication.

高さ150メートルからの景色は絶景でした。ただ、他の方もおられますので船の上での待ち時間もあります。その間に少し船酔いしました。酔いやすい方は酔い止めを持っていかれることをおすすめします。

The view of parasailing from the hotel in Waikiki was amazing. Since it departed from the harbor near the Hilton, the scenery was different from the land and absolutely fantastic.

ワイキキのホテルから見ていた光景のパラセイル
ヒルトンのそばの港から出港なので、陸からとは違った景色で最高でした

If you are afraid of heights like me maybe second think, but still decide to do it, as the sights of the crystal water are beautiful.

Really Awesome Views from Above. Me and my partner had a blast!!

The whole crew was just amazing. Lots of fun.
Thanks

This is an activity that I definitely recommend everyone to experience when visiting Hawaii. It was an amazing experience to see the Hawaiian scenery from above the ocean!

There was no pressure to tip, as it was more of a suggestion at the time of disembarkation, but since it was such a wonderful experience, I decided to give a tip!

Thanks to the advice from everyone, I took motion sickness medication and didn't feel nauseous at all! I put my tip, credit card, and smartphone in a waterproof phone case and hung it around my neck while holding my GoPro in my hand as I jumped! I only brought a beach towel for other items. The luggage goes in the boat's storage, and since there are staff members around, I felt that my belongings wouldn't be stolen while we were flying.

ハワイに来たらぜひみなさんに体験いただきたいアクティビティです。ハワイの景色を海の上から見れて、とっても最高な体験になりました！
チップは下車時によかったらチップお願いします的な感じで強制感はありませんでしたが、とても素敵な体験ができたので、お渡ししました！
みなさんのアドバイスを見て酔い止めを飲んだおかげか、特に酔いませんでした！
防水スマホケースにチップとクレカとスマホ入れて首から下げて、ゴープロを手に持って飛びました〜！そのほか持ちのものは、バスタオルくらいにしました。荷物はボートの荷物入れ？に入れますし、スタッフの方もいるので、飛んでる間に荷物が盗まれる事はないかなと思いました。

Since the people in the pair I rode with were all Japanese, I felt very comfortable and enjoyed participating. The weather was nice, so the scenery was amazing.

同乗したペアの人たちも日本人しかいなかったので、とても安心して楽しく参加できました。
天気が良かったので景色が最高でした。

We went out to sea by boat and experienced parasailing. The boat we joined had 10 people, all Japanese couples. The captain and two crew members were very lively and kept the energy high.

The round trip to the offshore location was quite bumpy, so if you're prone to seasickness, please take medication beforehand.

Basically, the communication is in English, but they guide you step by step, so it's not difficult. The time spent in the air is about 5 minutes, but it was surprisingly high and felt great.

They will ask if you want to take photos on the boat, but you can confirm the photos after disembarking before payment. If you have an iPhone, you can transfer the data on the spot and receive an SD card.

Due to the weak yen and high prices, Hawaii has become quite an expensive place, but considering the cost-effectiveness, it's a satisfying activity.

船で沖合に行き、パラセーリングを体験します。我々が参加する船は、5組10人、すべて日本人のカップルでした。ノリがいい船長と船員の2名がテンション高めに盛り上げてくれます。

沖合までの往復はかなり揺られので船酔いしやすい方は事前にお薬を飲んでください。

基本的には英語でのやり取りとなりますが、手取り足取り教えてくれるので難しいことはありません。空中にいる時間は5分程度ですが、想像以上に高く、気持ちが良かったです。

船の上で写真撮影の有無を聞かれるのですが、会計は下船後に写真を確認してからで大丈夫です。iPhoneであれば、その場でデータを転送のうえ、SDカードがもらえます。

円安と物価高で非常にハワイはお金がかかる場所になってしまいましたが、費用対効果を考えても満足できるアクティビティです。
