Waikiki
I participated with six friends, and the service was prompt. They were able to communicate in a bit of Japanese, and above all, the guide was handsome (laughs). If there's another opportunity, I would love to join again!
友人6人で参加しましたが、対応も迅速で多少の日本語で対応して頂けましたし、なんといってもガイドのお兄さんがハンサムでした(笑)
機会があればまた宜しくお願いします!
The weather was great, and the view was amazing! I got a little seasick, but while flying, it felt so good that I almost forgot about it!
お天気も良くて最高の景色でした‼︎
少し船酔いしてしまいましたが、飛んでると気持ち良くて忘れるくらいでした‼︎
I participated alone this time. Therefore, I ended up paragliding with two Japanese women who were also on the tour. As mentioned in the posted experiences, I referenced the note about wanting to try 150 meters next, and even though it was my first time paragliding, I decided to challenge myself with the 150 meters.
The moment the parasail lifted off from the boat was a bit scary, but after that, it was so much fun, and I was able to enjoy a fantastic view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sky. At 150 meters, the flying time was quite long, and I was very satisfied. I was able to have a casual conversation with the women I flew with, which was nice, but for those who might feel a bit uneasy about flying with others, I recommend participating in groups of two to three.
私は、今回一人で参加しました。そのため、ツアーに参加されていた日本人女性の方2人と一緒にパラセイリングで飛ぶことになりました。
投稿されている体験談にもあったように、150mを次はトライしたいと書いてあったのを参考に、初めてのパラセイリングでしたが150mに挑戦しました。
最初の船からパラセイルがふわっと浮く瞬間はちょっと怖かったですが、そのあとは、とっても楽しく、また空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドが一望でき、とても素敵な体験ができました。150mだと飛んでる時間もかなり長く、大満足です。今回一緒に飛んでくださった女性の方とはフランクにいろいろお話できたので、よかったですが、他の方と飛ぶのはちょっと、、、、という方は、2名〜3名での参加をおすすめいたします。
The weather was great on the day, and we had a wonderful experience!
During our time there, we were the only Japanese participants, while the other four groups were all foreigners. We didn't speak much English and felt a bit lost trying to keep up with the conversations between the local guide and the other participants, but the important thing was that the guide communicated in simple English and some Japanese, which made it enjoyable for us. In fact, the other four groups were couples, and we were a duo of two women, so we ended up interacting with them quite a bit... right? (laughs)
We signed up for the 130 meters height. However, I’m not sure what height the others signed up for or if we really did the 130 meters. It felt like we flew longer than expected, and it was fun. The view was truly spectacular!! Just be aware that even if you say you don’t want to get wet, they will pretend to drop you into the sea. It was fun in the end, though! (laughs)
As others mentioned, photos are taken for $30. We considered asking other participants to take our pictures, but we couldn't bring ourselves to do it with the foreigners. (laughs) Of course, some of the photos were blurry, but they took about 80 pictures and a few videos, so we were really satisfied! I think there might be some variation in the number of photos, but they burn the CD right there and hand it to you, so there's no waiting.
While preferences for height may vary, I’m really glad I got to go parasailing! I recommend it to anyone who is considering it!\(^o^)/
当日は天候にも恵まれ、とてもいい経験ができました!
私たちが参加した時間は、日本人は私たちだけで他の4組はみんな外国の方でした。私たちはあまり英語ができず、現地ガイドさんと周りの参加者たちの会話についていけずぽかーんというかんじでしたが、大事なことはガイドさんが覚えた日本語や簡単な英語で楽しく伝えてくれたため問題ありませんでした。むしろ周り4組はカップルで私たちは女性2人組みだったので多く絡んでもらえたような・・・?笑
高さは130Mで申し込みました。が、他の方が何Mで申し込んだのか、私たちがほんとに130Mだったのかはわかりません。思っていたより長く飛んでいた気がして楽しかったです。本当に絶景です!!ただ、濡れたくないと言っても海に落とすふりしてぽちゃんとしてきます。結果楽しかったですが笑
写真は他の方たちも記載していたように30ドルで撮ってくれます。他の参加者に撮ってもらおうとも考えましたが外国の方たちには頼むことができませんでした。笑 もちろんピンボケしている写真もありますが、約80枚の写真と少しの動画も撮ってくれたので本当に満足です!写真の量には差があるとも思いますが・・・CDその場で焼いて渡してくれるので待つこともありません。
高さは好みもあるかと思いますが、パラセイリングができたことは本当によかったです!
悩んでる人にはおすすめです\(^o^)/
The guide was helpful and quite friendly. Love the trip in total.
Rain excluded all views. Otherwise nice hike. Driver courteous and informative
カタマランはワイキキビーチから出航するため、アクセスがとても便利。
ポイントで停まり、海に入るとすぐ目の前に海亀と魚たちが泳ぎ廻っていました。
シュノーケリングを充分堪能し、ボートに戻ると、水とサンドイッチのサービス。
その後、ワイキキビーチ沖をクルージング。
目の見張るような海の蒼さに大感動。この値段以上の価値のあるツアーでした。
参加する際、泳ぎが苦手な方はライフジャケットを準備する必要があります。備え付けはヌードルだけでした。また、クルージングの際、風を切って走行するのでジャケット持参がお勧めです。
Such an awesome experience! Would definitely do it again!!
First time doing this and wow! The staff were friendly and fun. Taking a boat ride how can you go wrong, then I was attached to the parachute and Best water view ever! took the dip and to my surprise the water was warm. Ended the vacation on a high note. enjoyed so much all my tropic or island vacation will end on this high note, just higher only went 600 ft. hope the next Captain and crew are as excellent as this Cap and crew.
Since it was my first time, I think it was good to see it at least once. The food was average, but it was served quickly. The fire show was the most impressive.
はじめてだったので、一度は見ておいてよかったかたかと思います。
お料理は普通ですが、しまわれるのが早かった。
ファイアーショウが一番見応えがありました。
Okay, I'm hooked! I cannot wait to get back to Oahu, and get on a board again! The day was great in every way. Austin is an amazing instructor, and a cool dude. I felt safe and confident with him, and was surfing in no time. Absolutely awesome!! I also had the privilege of meeting CJ, and Rachel (Turtle Bay shop). Thank you both for all the encouragement and advice with my plans to make Oahu my home in the very near future. Looking forward to seeing all of you again...and, of course, surfing. Mahalo!
Aloha Reese,
Happy to here that you had a great time surfing with our surf school. Ill make sure to let Austin, Cj and Raye know.
We hope to see you again and surf with us
Mahalo

Minus the crazy winds that day the ride was great. But, what was even better were the two guys running the boat! SUPER friendly, fun, and good at what they do. We had a great time - again!! Recommend? YES, absolutely!
Amazing & would highly recommend this hike! We were originally scheduled to do the Makapuu Lighthouse Trail as well, but unfortunately they closed the trail a few days before we arrived. We were notified by the tour company in plenty of time & just went on the hike to Diamond Head. We were refunded the difference & everything else went off without a hitch. We were a little confused about the pick up location, but the driver took the time to call us & guide us to the right area. Job well done guys! Mahalo!
The 150m extreme ride was amazing.
Indeed, altitude is important for parasailing!
I had experienced a lower altitude before, but this was on a different level.
The breathtaking view from the highest point is something you can never experience from the ground.
If you are going to try parasailing, definitely choose the 150m option.
高さ150mのエクストリームライド最高でした。
やはりパラセイルは高度が大切ですね!
以前にも低い高度のそれを体験したのですが段違いでした。
最高地点からの絶景は決して地上からでは体験できない最高の眺めです。
皆様もパラセイルを体験するなら是非150mを選択してください。
The bus arrived late at the meeting point, which made me worried, but it came 8 minutes late. If the road was congested, it can't be helped.
The activity was extremely satisfying. My husband, who was scared, seemed to enjoy it so much that he said he wanted to do it again! It seems that parasailing is available in other places on Oahu, but I'm glad we chose this one where we could enjoy the view of Waikiki. We also had a great time with the other participants.
On the day of the reservation, it was canceled due to rain. We didn't know it was canceled until we called the local office. After the call, I received an email from Veltra. I think it would be reassuring to know in advance who will contact us and how, and by what time before the meeting.
集合場所にバスが来るのが遅かったので、心配していたのですが、8分遅れで来てくれました。道が混んでたなら、仕方ないですね。
アクティビティは大満足の内容でした。怖がっていた旦那さんも、もう一回やりたい!と話すくらい、楽しめた様でした。オアフ島内他の場所でもパラセーリングは
出来る様ですが、ワイキキの街を眺められるこちらを選んで良かったです。また、同乗の方々とも楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
予約当日は雨で中止となりました。こちらが現地の事務所に電話するまで中止かどうかわかりませんでした。電話してから、veltraさんからメールが来ました。予め、集合何分前までに、誰から、どんな方法で連絡が来るか分かると安心できるとおもいます。
Parasailing was incredibly fun. The staff responded to my limited English conversation, and communicating with other foreign guests, even in broken phrases, was enjoyable. My son said it was the most fun he had on this trip.
However, I was a bit surprised by the local disbandment. It would be perfect if there was support for the return trip. Best of luck to you.
パラセーリング、すっげー楽しい
スタッフの方もつたない英会話に反応してくれましたし、
外国のお客様方とコミュニケーションも片言ですが楽しい
息子も今回の旅行で一番楽しかったと言っています
ただ現地解散というのがちっとびっくりしました。
帰りのフォローあれば完璧です。
ご健闘よろしくお願いします。
Very disappointing. We had to decide as soon as we got off the bus what time we wanted to be picked up - 10 AM or 12 noon. Had we known how long it would take us to actually get into the water, we would have chosen noon! We were picked up at 7 AM, got to the Bay about 7:45, had to stand in line to get tickets, wait our turn to see a required film (very good actually), and then walk about 10 minutes down to the Bay, and then stand in another line to get a locker for our bags. We did not get into the water until almost 8:45, more than an hour after we had been picked up. THEN, we find our that the snorkel/mask ensemble was so inflexible that we could not get it to work properly! The mouthpiece was too rigid, would not form a tight seal and kept pulling to one side, and my husband's snorkel actually kept coming unhooked from the mask! Had we known this, we would have bought our own equipment at the ABC store for $10 and actually been able to snorkel! As it was, we spent until 9:30 trying to get the equipment to fit, and then had to head back to the bus for the 10 AM pick-up. Had the connection between the mouthpiece and the snorkel tube been accordion-like and flexible, it would have been a lot better. If you plan to go on this trip, bring your own equipment and be prepared to not get into the water right away. The Bay is beautiful and the water was wonderful, but our experience with the inflexible pick up time and equipment was not wonderful!
wish I could have went snorkeling but due to a sewage spill it didn't happen but hey its happened but I'm not mad !!!!!! this place was very nice about contacting me and making sure I received my money back on time!!
I was moved by the beautiful sea and sky. I had been very busy shopping until then, so it was soothing and felt really nice.
The instructor was also very lively and it was fun.
綺麗な海と空に感動しました。
それまで買い物で大忙しだったので、癒されて、とても気持ち良かったです。
インストラクターさんも、ノリが良くて、楽かったです。
It was a great experience! We had Greg as the driver and he was great and informative about local deals in Oahu. We were also really lucky and got the whole boat to ourselves. Usually, I hear, people sit in a group of 10-12 people.
Great tour...Pearl Harbor is a must see when visiting Oahu!!
I've been on several snorkel day boat trips and this was one of the best. The turtles were amazing and we're all around us. We also had a wonderful sail as well. Captain and crew were Friendly and helpful. Price was great. Loved it!
I waited for about 15 minutes for the pick-up. It was mentioned that there would be a "trolley with a logo to greet us," but no one came despite waiting... I kept an eye out every time a car stopped, but there was no sign of the right vehicle. After more than 15 minutes had passed, I started to feel anxious and decided to call. They told me, "It already passed." I hurriedly took a taxi to the location where the boat was departing and managed to make it in time for the tour.
When I spoke to a Japanese woman at the reception about the absence of the vehicle and the fact that we weren't called, she responded as if it was our fault, saying, "We don't call names, you know? Others have gotten on." The vehicle I saw was just an ordinary van without any logos.
Having participated in various tours before, I noticed that the pick-up staff usually have a list of participants. If it was just a regular van, at least they could have mentioned the tour name... The pick-up location in front of the Duke statue has many cars stopping, and since it also serves as a meeting point for other tours and a trolley stop, it is quite difficult to identify a non-logo vehicle as the tour vehicle without any guidance.
The guide on the boat was a local who entertained the participants well, but the fact that we made others wait and the unpleasant attitude from the Japanese woman at the reception turned what should have been a fun memory in Hawaii into a disappointing one.
Pick Up 15分ほど前から待機。
「ロゴ入りのトロリーでお迎え」とあったが、待てども待てども来ず...。車が止まるたびに気にして見ていたがそれらしき車はなく。
時間を15分以上過ぎても来ないため、さすがに不安になり電話をかけてみると「もう通った。」とのこと。
タクシーで慌てて船が出る場所まで向かい、なんとか参加には間に合いました。
受付に日本人の女性がいたためそれらしき車が通らなかったこと、特に呼ばれもしなかったことを伝えたところ「名前は呼びませんよ?他の人は乗ってきてるんですよ?」と逆に私たちのせいだと言わんばかり。
車を見るとロゴも何もないただのワゴン車でした。
今まで色々なツアーに参加してきましたが送迎の方は必ず参加者のリストを持っていたし、普通のワゴン車なのであればせめてツアー名だけでも言ってくれれば良いのに...と思います。
Pick Up場所のデューク像前は止まる車も多く、他のツアーの待ち合わせ場所やトロリー乗り場にもなっているため、案内もなしにロゴの無い車をツアーの車だと判断するのはかなり難しいです。
船に乗ったガイドさんは現地の方で参加者を楽しませてくれましたが、他の参加者を待たせてしまったこと、受付の日本人女性にすごく感じの悪い態度を取られたことで、ハワイで楽しい思い出を作るはずが残念な思い出となりました。
The guide picked us up at the hotel and shuttled us to the trailhead. From there its pretty easy hike up to the Manoa Falls.
On the day of the event, perhaps due to the strong winds, my wife and child were able to participate in the first round, but during the second round (myself and my child), our parachute got tangled, and we were unable to participate. It was very disappointing.
参加当日風が強い事もあった為かどうかはわかりませんが、妻と子供の1回目は参加できたものの2回目の参加時に(私と子供)パラシュートが絡まってしまい参加する事が出来ませんでした。非常に残念です。
Last time it was canceled due to strong winds, so this time we got our revenge.
The view while feeling the wind is amazing, unlike the scenery seen through the airplane window. I'm glad we chose to go as high as possible.
We went as a couple, but the kids who came in a group and rode in the three-seater seemed to be having a great time together.
You can take photos yourself, but it's also fine to take turns with the people you're riding with, so there's no need to worry about photos.
I saw a post saying that the pickup time wasn't kept, but when we arrived right on time, they were already waiting for us. It might be luck, but I think it should be fine.
前回は強風で中止になってしまったのでリベンジ。
飛行機から窓越しで見る景色と違って、風を浴びながらの眺めは最高。
一番高くに上がるのにしてよかった。
うちらは夫婦二人で乗ったけど、グループで来て3人乗りに乗ってた子達も、ワイワイやってて楽しそうだった。
写真は、自分でも撮れるけど、一緒に乗ってる人達で順番に撮りっこすればいいから、写真は心配いらないです。
ピックアップ時間が守られないって投稿があったけど、時間ピッタリに行ったら、もう待っててくれてた。
運があるかもしれないけど、大丈夫なんじゃないかな。
I have a significant fear of heights, but I had no problems at all!! The reason I decided to challenge myself to jump from 150 meters was because I saw everyone's experiences.
Since I participated alone, I jumped with others. Everyone was supposed to jump from different heights, but from the boat, they all looked like they were at the same height. The price varies depending on the height, so I'm really unsure if the person I jumped with was actually at the same height as me. Was it possible they were lower than 150 meters? Did the person I jumped with not actually want to jump from 150 meters? If that could be clarified, it would have been incredibly fun☆
I definitely recommend taking photos. I think they make for great memories. If they could also provide photos (or videos) from above while jumping, that would be even better. I want to jump again when I go to Hawaii!! The staff made it enjoyable, so I created wonderful memories.
かなりの高所恐怖症の私ですが、全く問題ありませんでした!!
そんな高所恐怖症の私が150メートルに挑戦してみようと思ったのも、みなさんの体験談を見たからです。
1人で参加のため、他の人と飛びました。みなさん飛ぶ高さが違う・・・はずですが、
船から見ていると全部同じ位の高さに見えました。
高さによって値段は変わるので、私と一緒に飛んだ人は果たして同じ高さだったのかものすごく微妙です。
実は150メートルより低かったんじゃないか?
一緒に飛んだ人は150メートル希望じゃないんじゃないか?と。
そのあたりがクリアになれば、ものすごく楽しかったです☆
写真も絶対にオススメです。良い記念になると思います。
飛んでいる上からの写真(映像等)もできる様になれば、もっと最高だと思います。
またハワイに行ったら飛びたいです!!
スタッフの皆さんが楽しませてくれたので、良い思い出が出来ました。
I got bored during the show.
There wasn't much to eat. If you miss the first round, there's nothing left.
The seating is arranged in two rows in a U-shape with the stage in the center. The front row seems to be reserved for guests, so you can't sit there even if you arrive early.
You have to wait until the people in the front row finish before you can go to the buffet.
It's expensive for what you get, but since it's the Hilton, I suppose that's to be expected.
It became a memorable family trip.
ショーは途中で飽きちゃいました。
食事は食べるのもがあまりない。最初に取り損ねるともうありません。
席は2列でコの字でステージが中央にある。前列は宿泊者専用なのか早くても座れません。
バイキングの取りに行く順番も前列の席の人が終わってからじゃないといけません。
値段の割には高いですがヒルトンなので仕方が無いと思います。
家族旅行の記念にはなりました。
I made a reservation because I wanted to see hula (since it feels like Hawaii). The food was quite delicious, and the atmosphere was nice. Additionally, it was fun to see various Polynesian dances, not just hula. The Tahitian performance was the most exciting, and my dad was invited on stage to dance, which made for a fun experience. Since we chose the standard seating, the stage was a bit far, but they danced facing different directions, so it was enjoyable even from the side. It was a bit pricey, but I think it was worth the cost.
フラが見たくて(ハワイっぽいから)予約しました。食事も結構美味しかったし、雰囲気も良かった。それに、フラだけではなくポリネシアンのいろいろなダンスが見られて楽しかった。タヒチは一番盛り上がり、うちのパパは誘われてステージにあがって踊らされ、楽しく過ごせた。スタンダードにしたのでステージは少し遠かったけど、いろいろな方向を向いてダンスしてくれていたので正面じゃなくても楽しめる内容だった。少し割高だけど、値段だけのことはあると思いました。
I initially made a reservation for 9/7 at 10:00, but when I arrived at the port, thunder started, and due to the captain's judgment, the trip was unfortunately canceled. I was able to rebook for the earliest available time at 13:00, and this time we were able to fly! I experienced this twice in Bali, but in Hawaii, we went much further out and climbed really high, so all three of us were very satisfied. The motorboat experience from the port to the open sea was also fun. I often hear about the pickup taking a while, but in our case, we were surprised to find the bus waiting for us as soon as we stepped outside. However, the return of the boat seemed to be delayed, so if you have a tight schedule, it might be frustrating. The tip was displayed as $8 on the boat, and since I wasn't prepared with $1 bills, I panicked and ended up giving more, which meant I didn't have any tip left for Yano, our driver. Thank you, Yano, for the fun conversation and drink service. I'm sorry I couldn't give you a tip. I was worried about my valuables and only brought minimal cash, not taking my card, but I should have brought a bit more to buy an SD card.
最初9/7,10:00を予約したのですが、港に着いた時から雷が鳴りだし、船長の判断であえなく欠航。当日の一番早い空き時間帯13:00で再予約でき、今度は飛べました!バリ島でも2回体験しましたが、ハワイのはずいぶん沖まで出て、高く高く上がったので3人とも大満足~港から沖までのモーターボート体験も面白かった。お迎えがとかくココナッツタイムと、よく聞きますが、私たちの場合は、むしろ外に出たらもうバスが待ってる状態でびっくりしました。ただ船の帰港は遅れがちな感じで、あまりタイトな予定を組むとイライラするかも。チップは8ドルって船内に表示があって、1ドル札を準備していなかったのでうろたえて、多めに渡してしまい、送迎のヤノさんのチップが無くなってしまいました…ヤノさん楽しい話、飲み物サービスに感謝しています。チップ渡さなくてごめんなさい。貴重品が心配で、最小限の現金だけで、カード持って行かなかったけど、も少し持って行ってSD買えばよかった
