Waikiki
We actually are a family with kids in their 20s but no option for that. We had a wonderful time. the weather was perfect and the water conditions were pretty clear. The turtles were magnificent but there was other wildlife as well--Spinner dolphins, Flying fish, etc. The cruise after the snorkeling was equally as fun. Our captain also had a great choice of music playing. The time went so fast--took the morning cruise which still left us the rest of the day for the beach. Would recommend this to anyone. My only precaution--if you have a anyone in your party with issues of climbing or would not be comfortable walking or sitting on the net of the catamaran you may not enjoy this. We loved it!
Recently, my mother, younger brother, and I (in our 20s) participated in this activity.
It was great to see the views of Waikiki while sailing. However, when we arrived at the snorkeling spot, the water was quite deep, and my mother and I felt very scared as soon as we entered the water. We ended up getting back on the boat in less than a minute. My brother, who has diving experience, enjoyed it until the end.
I thought I was prepared based on the experiences I read about, but I was surprised that the snorkeling was in a very deep area rather than a shallow one, and I questioned whether it was appropriate to only have a floatation device at that depth. There was no practice with life jackets or snorkeling, so it might be difficult for those who are trying it for the first time and are not familiar with the sensation. As a snorkeling beginner, I regretted not choosing a safer tour since it was a special trip. I also regret that I caused my mother to feel fear.
If you want to participate but are not confident in your swimming skills, I think you should consider this carefully. The ocean was very beautiful, so it might be a good option for those who just want to enjoy sailing.
先日、母・弟・私（20代）の3人で参加しました。
セーリングでワイキキの景色を見れるのはとても良かったです。
ですが、シュノーケルの場所まで到着した際はかなり水深があり 母と私は海に入った瞬間とても怖くなりました。。（1分も経たずに船へ上がってしまいました＞＜）弟はダイビング経験がある為 最後まで楽しんでいましたが。
体験談を参考に参加したつもりでしたが、浅瀬の方ではなくかなり深い場所でのシュノーケルだったことやあの深さで浮き棒しかないのはどうかと思いました。。ライフジャケット、シュノーケルの練習等は無しでいきなり始まりますので 初めてで感覚が掴めない方には難しいかもしれません。シュノーケル初心者だからこそ、せっかくの旅行ですので、安全なツアーに参加すればよかったと思いました。母にも恐怖心を与えてしまったのも後悔です。。
もし泳ぎに自信がないけど参加したい、という方は考慮したほうが良いと思います。海はとってもきれいだったので、セーリングだけたのしみたい方にはいいかもしれません。
We sincerely apologize for the fact that you were unable to fully enjoy our activities. We are also very sorry to hear that it caused fear for your mother.
We do provide life jackets for rental, but it seems that many customers chose to participate without wearing them, and our guidance may not have been sufficient.
We will take your feedback into account for future improvements. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts after your return home.
弊社アクティビティにて十分にお楽しみいただけなかったとの事、大変申し訳ございません。お母様へも恐怖心を与えてしまったようで誠に残念でございます。
ライフジャケットの貸出はしておりましたが、ライフジャケットを着用せず体験されるお客様も多く、ご案内が十分にされていなかったようです。
お客様からのご意見は、今後の改善に活かさせていただきます。ご帰国後の貴重なお時間を割いてのご投稿ありがとうございました。

Good tour for the price. Worth having someone pick you up and do the driving. We wish we had more time on the Missouri and to see the museums back on Ford Island. We drove from Honolulu, to Pearl Harbor to get tickets, back to Honolulu for the tour, then to Pearl Harbor, and then back to Honolulu. I would have preferred that we were picked up a bit later and have the tickets all ready for us. We barely had any breakfast and because there isn't much time, we didn't eat from 6:30 am to almost 4 pm. Our tour guide was very courteous and informative (Marlan).
The day I participated was cloudy, with occasional rain, making it a bit chilly to enter the sea. I went to the meeting place, but there were no signs and no one who looked like they were part of the group... I felt anxious. Eventually, some people who seemed to be participants began to gather, and after some time, a person holding a sign arrived. I felt relieved... The guide spoke in English, so it might be difficult for those who are completely new to snorkeling. However, if you watch the movements of the people around you, you'll be fine. The sea turtles and fish were very beautiful! For those who are not good with the cold, it would be better on a hot day, but the wind from sailing after getting out of the sea can be chilly. I think it's a good idea to prepare long sleeves or a hoodie. If you are prone to seasickness or cannot swim, it might be better to avoid this activity.
参加した日は曇り空で、時々雨も降り、海に入るには少し肌寒い日でした。集合場所に行ったものの、看板もなく、それらしい人もいない…不安。そのうち参加者らしい人たちが集まり始め、その人たちと一緒にいると、時間を過ぎてから看板を持った人がやってきました。ホッとした…。ガイドは英語なので、シュノーケリングが全く初めての人には分かりにくいかも。でも周りの人たちの動きを見ていれば、大丈夫です。ウミガメ、魚たち、とてもきれいでした♪寒いのが苦手な方、暑い日なら良いのですが、海から上がった後のセーリングの風は体が冷えます。長袖やパーカーを用意しておくと良いと思います。船酔いしやすい方、泳げない方は避けたほうがいいかな。

I had always wanted to try it at least once, and I finally made it happen in Hawaii. Unlike Japan, the power of the waves was different, and surprisingly, I was able to stand up on the board right away. I had to paddle in time with the waves, but after two or three times, my arms became too tired, and each time, the coach pushed me from behind, allowing me to stand up multiple times, which was amazing.
Lastly, when I was being taken back, the hotel was WHITE SANDS HOTEL, but we took a long detour through Ala Wai and passed by Hilton, and I was dropped off on Kuhio Street, which wasted a lot of time. I thought they would drop me off first.
If it weren't for that, I would have given it a perfect score.
一度はやってみたいと思っていましたが、やっとハワイで実現できました。日本と違って波の力が、違うの為？可なんと、一発で立つことができました。波にあわせてこがなけばいけないのですが、2、3回もすると腕が上がらなくなり、その度にコーチが後ろから押してくれ何回も立てることができ最高でした。
最後に、帰りに送ってもらう時にホテルは、WHITE SANDS HOTELでしたが、アラワイを、通りヒルトン等を通り、クヒオ通りで降ろされメチャクチャ遠回りになり、時間が無駄になりました。最初に下ろしてくれるかなと思ったのですが。
これさえなければ、満点をあげるところでした。

Highly recommend this tour...hotel pick-up, comfortable narrated bus ride through Honolulu, no waiting in line for tickets! Very enjoyable and interesting tour. Back to hotel by 2 pm to enjoy the afternoon on the beach. Well worth spending the $ !!!!
Our family had a wonderful day on this tour. We were blessed to have Cousin Pete as our tour guide. Cousin Pete was born and bred in Hawaii. Heis so well read and knowledgeable sharing above and beyond what we expected. Fantastic
The staff were all very friendly, and they entertained us by speaking in Japanese and our broken English, even though we couldn't speak English well☆
They took a lot of photos for us, and the view from the high spots was amazing‼ The way they maneuvered so that our bodies didn't touch the sea and only our feet were in the water was truly impressive‼ If we ever go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to join this tour again꒰*´艸｀*꒱
お店の方全員がとても感じが良く、英語の話せない私たちを日本語や私たちの片言英語でも話してくれ楽しませてくれました☆
写真も沢山撮ってくださり、高い所も景色も良く最高でした‼
体が海につかないように足だけつけてくれる操縦は本当に感動しました‼
また是非ハワイにいく事があったらこのツアーには参加したいです꒰*´艸｀*꒱

I participated last year and it was so great that I'm joining for the second time this year. The location is at Hilton Hawaiian Village, so it's very convenient to walk from Waikiki.
The show is all in English, but it's enjoyable.
While waiting for the luau to start, the sunset from the Hilton's lagoon is very beautiful, so just looking at the scenery is never boring.
It seems like this will become an annual tradition for our family.
昨年参加してとても良かったので、今回２度目の参加です。
場所もヒルトンハワイアンビレッジにあるので、ワイキキからお散歩がてら歩いて行けるのでとても便利です。
ショーはすべて英語ですが楽しめます。
ルアウが始まるまでの待ち時間も、ヒルトンのラグーンからは夕日がとてもきれいに見えるので、景色を眺めているだけでも飽きません。
我が家では毎年恒例の行事になりそうです。

A must do! Great tour! Driver was super knowledgable!
I took group surfing lesson. The instructor was very helpful and kind. He put me in as many waves and I had a great time! I'd like to try to take the lesson again!!!
I participated with my mother and two daughters (11 and 16 years old). I was anxious because I didn't understand the language, but they taught us well with gestures. My mother could only stand for about three seconds, but my daughters were able to ride the waves well. I highly recommend it!
母と娘２人(11歳16歳)と参加しました。言葉も分からず不安でしたが身振り手振りでしっかりおしえてくれました。母は３秒くらいしか立てませんでしたが娘達はしっかり波に乗れてました。おすすめです！

WE HAD A GREAT TIME IT WAS OUR FIRST TIME PARASAILING AND WERE NOT SURE IF WE WOULS LIKE IT OR NOT, BUT THE BOAT CREW & CAPT DAVIE WERE GREAT AND MADE US FEEL AT EASE. ALL 3 OF US LOVED IT!!
The food was delicious. The kids enjoyed it a lot. My child participated in a tattoo experience and got a shark drawn. They did it really well, and my child was very happy. The fire show was also amazing! The kids were super excited. Be careful with drinks when the wind blows. I wish I could have enjoyed it more if I spoke English.
食事はおいしかたです。こどももパクパクでした。タトゥーの体験に子供が参加してサメを書いてもらいました。とっても上手に書いてくれ、子供も大喜びです。ファイヤーショーも最高！子供も大興奮でした。風が吹く時には飲み物注意だよ。英語が出来たらもっと楽しめたのにな。

I thought I paid for the battleship Missouri tour but was never taken. Arizona memorial was just as I remember it.
We participated as a family of three. The activity itself was very enjoyable, and thanks to the captain's playful spirit, we even got to experience a splash in the sea.
I think those who are fluent in English can enjoy it wholeheartedly without any worries.
However, there were no staff at the counter or on board who could speak Japanese well, and the briefing was really just reading a paper in Japanese with only a few words. Since we had children with us, I felt a bit anxious considering the worst-case scenario.
The website mentioned that we would be picked up by a trolley with the tour company's logo, so I was watching for the trolley, but what arrived was a Mercedes van. Moreover, it was more than five minutes late, and I started to think about arranging a taxi. I think it would have been better if they had explained that it could be either a trolley or a vehicle like this; I was lucky I didn't miss it.
The return vehicle seemed to have been overlooked in the arrangement and took a while to arrive. When I asked the counter when the return vehicle would come, they said it would be here soon, but what came was a taxi. They mentioned that I would have to cover the cost myself, and a foreign couple who were with us talked to the counter and arranged for the same van we took to get back safely. If it had just been us, it might have turned into a rather unpleasant event.
As I mentioned earlier, parasailing itself was very exciting and fun, so if there’s a next time, I think I would look for a tour company that can communicate in Japanese. I believe there are many Japanese participants who could book through a Japanese website, so I would have appreciated a bit more consideration for Japanese speakers, such as having staff who can speak Japanese.
家族３人で参加しました。
アクティビティそのものはとても楽しく、キャプテンの遊び心もあって海ポチャも経験できました。
英語が堪能な方なら不安なく心から楽しめると思います。
カウンターにも乗船スタッフにも日本語が充分に話せる人がおらず、本当に単語のみの日本語と、日本語で書かれた用紙を読むだけのブリーフィングでした。
子ども連れでしたので万が一のことを考えると少々不安でした。
サイトでの説明には催行会社名ロゴの入ったトロリーで送迎と書いてあったのでトロリーを目で追っていましたが、来たのはベンツのバン。
しかも５分以上遅れ、タクシー手配しようかと考え始めた頃でした。
トロリーもしくはこういう車と説明があったらよかったと思います、見落とさなかったから良かったけど。
帰りの車も手配が漏れていたのかなかなか来ず、カウンターに帰りの車はいつ来るのか聞くとすぐ来るというので待っていると来たのはタクシー。
費用は自分持みたいなことも言われ、同行した外国人カップルも同じ所まで乗るためカウンターと話をつけてくれて、行きと同じバンを呼んでもらえ無事に帰れましたが自分たちだけだったら、後味の悪いイベントになってたかもしれません。
先にも書きましたがパラセイリング自体はとてもエキサイティングで楽しかったので、もし次があるとすれば日本語の通じる催行会社を探すと思います。
日本語サイトで申し込めて、日本人の参加者も多いと思いますので、日本語ＯＫなスタッフを配置するなどもう少し日本人への気遣いも欲しかったです。
We apologize for any anxiety caused due to the language barrier, especially with children in tow. We will strive to improve staff training to prevent such issues in the future. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We look forward to serving you again.
日本語が通じず、お子様連れとのことで不安な思いをさせてしまい申し訳ございませんでした。今後はこのようなことがないよう、スタッフの教育に努めて参ります。この度は、貴重なお時間を割いてのご投稿誠にありがとうございます。またのご利用お待ち申し上げております。

Great excursion. Great guides. Worth doing! The turtles were amazing and we had the bonus of seeing dolphins...
Parasailing with this company was Awsome!!! We were 7 first timers and they made the experience easy and enjoyable. Would definitely seek same company out again.
I participated in the 120-meter event. At first, I was unsure whether to ask for photos, but it was the right decision to go ahead and ask. I'm glad I got to take pictures with Diamond Head in the background! ♪
120メートルで参加しました。
最初は写真を撮ってもらうか迷ってましたが、お願いして正解でした。
ダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに写真撮ってもらえて良かった♪

On time and friendly pick up in Waikiki got us to the dock. Filled out the legal paperwork and boarded the boat within 10 minutes. Friendly crew of two; Jamel the skipper and Gene rigger and photographer. You get rigged at your seat then sit down on the back deck to get hooked up to the parasail. They reel you out to about 1,000ft then real you back in. If you don't want to get wet you have to ask, otherwise you get dunked on the way back in. We also recommend you get the photos; Gene does a good job and you get them on an SD card to take with. Our 14 year old girls really enjoyed it as did the mom and dad; we went up two at a time, but they can take three (and maybe four?); total time aloft was about 10-12 minutes. Total time Waikiki to Waikiki was about 3 - 3.5 hours.
Great fun. I would recommend them and go again!! They made everyone comfortable and safety was utmost important to them.
We used it as a group of 40-60 people. There were many people from countries other than Japan, and everyone forgot their age and had fun dancing. The food was decent, but we enjoyed the tropical cocktails outdoors, which added to the Hawaiian vibe.
40－60 男女のグループで利用しました。
日本以外の国から来てる人が多くみんな年齢を忘れて踊ったりして楽しかったです。
食事はそれなりですが屋外で飲むトロピカルなカクテルもハワイらしさを楽しめました

We had a blast. My hubby was not so thrilled about me booking this, but when we got up there he was amazed. We went almost 1200 ft up and it was so quiet and peaceful. The guys that took us out were great and it was nice to enjoy the boat ride while others were up in the air. Something I will absolutely repeat. Oh and they offer to take pictures of u while u r up there. we got about 75 pics they give us on a little sd card for $35 way worth it.
Tour was great and the tour guide did a great job. However, the pick up point was a closed hotel and not well marked. Took a while to find the pick up point, which was only a block away from the hotel where we were staying. Do not understand this as other buses from the same company were picking up at out hotel. We spend a few hours trying to find the pick up point and the operator that was called was not helpful. Overall it was a very nice day but it didn't start out the way that was expected. You need to set the pick up point at the hotel staying. Do not understand why he had to find a closed hotel!
私たちはとても親切で楽しいサーフィンのレッスンを受けました。次回もこのレッスンを受けたいです。
We hadvery kind and excite surf lesson.
Next time we'il have this lesson.

This event was amazing!!! There is so much history behind it, that I left hungry to come back for more information!! It's a must see for everyone!!! It's an unforgettable experience!! Get to experience the deck in battleship Missouri. The tourist guide where very helpful. I'm happy that I booked all my activities with Veltra Hawaii activities, they send me reminders and I got curtesy calls 1 day prior to my events. Thanks again for all your great work!!
I was able to see whales!
It was absolutely amazing!
I want to go again!
I think it's better to have someone who understands English since there's no Japanese translation.
クジラが見れました！
最高によかったです＼(^o^)／
またいきたいです！
日本語訳がないので英語わかる人がイイと思います。

Very exciting. The crew seemed rushed but was a great time paid $30 for the crew to take pictures. Was excellent, the pictures are taken with a professional camera and had 150 + pictures on my sd card. Loved the experience!
We had a great time doing parasailling. !!!! it was most amazing experience.
