All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

I participated with nine friends.
There was a guide who was familiar with Japanese, and the humorous people made it a wonderful memory!
It was my first time surfing, and I really appreciated the guide who joyfully celebrated when I caught a wave, as well as the guide who took photos for us. Thank you!
The shallow water and the many cuts from the coral are also part of the memories.

友達9人で参加しました。
日本語に慣れてるガイドさんがいたり、楽しませてくれるユーモアな方々で素敵な思い出になりました！
初めてのサーフィンでしたが波に乗れたことを全力で喜ぶガイドさん、写真撮ってくれるガイドさん、ありがとうございました！
浅く、サンゴで生傷が多々出来たことも思い出です。

I participated in this as one of the activities for my honeymoon! I was worried because the weather forecast predicted rain, but on the day of the event, it was beautifully clear, and the view from above was amazing!! I did feel a bit seasick on the boat after the parasailing experience, which was a little tough, but since the boat was moving relatively fast, the wind felt nice, and I managed to endure it while others were experiencing the activity! I also purchased the photos they took, and there were some great shots of the surrounding scenery! I think it's best to keep your luggage to a minimum and wear something over your swimsuit.

新婚旅行のアクティビティの１つとして参加しました！天気予報が雨だったので心配しましたが、当日はとても快晴で空からの眺めは最高でした！！私はパラセーリングの体験の後の船で船酔いし、少し辛かったですが、比較的スピードを出して動いているので風が気持ちよく、他の方が体験されている間なんとか耐えられました！写真も撮ってもらったデータを購入しましたが、周りの景色などの写真もありとても良かったです！！荷物は最小限で水着の上に何か羽織っていくと良いと思います。

activity instructions were not clear as there are 2 Outrigger hotels on Waikiki beach- maybe that can be made clear for future bookings.

safety instructions were good and snorkelling excellent with 2 helpers in the water to show where the turtles and fish were and keep you in the area. Waves were picking up when we left and I'm not a good sailor, so I didnt have any snacks or drinks . Sails were raised and all the crew were very good for the sail around the harbour.

I saw it two years ago, and this time I watched it from the Diamond Seat. As expected from a Hilton show, the level of the dancers was high, and my whole family was very satisfied. However, I'm concerned about what would happen if it started to rain heavily, although it was just a light rain this time and it stopped quickly.

2年前にも見ましたが、今回もダイヤモンドシートで見ました。やはりヒルトンのショウだけあって、ダンサーのレベルも高く、家族全員大満足でした。ただし心配なのは今回は小雨ですぐやんだので大丈夫でしたが、途中で大雨になったらどうなるのかな？？

On the morning of the day, when the shuttle bus arrived at the location, I was told that it was canceled. The day before, there had been bad weather, and as a result, the sea was murky. I changed my reservation to the latest time at 3 PM, thinking it might be better in the afternoon. However, the visibility was only about a meter. I felt that this was unacceptable, especially since I had paid over 15,000 yen. I think it would be completely different if I went on a nice day. I wish there had been a half-price refund system.

当日朝、送迎バスが現地に到着したときに、キャンセルになりましたと言われました。前日天候が悪い日があり、そのため海が濁ってるとのこと。午後ならいけるかもしれないと予約を変更して一番遅い3時になることに。しかしながら透明度がメートルほどでした。一万五千円以上払ってるのに、これはないなぁと思ったりもしました。天気の良い日に行くと全然違うんですよね、多分。半額バック制度があればよかったなー

The meeting place was easy to find♪
It was my first time snorkeling in Hawaii♪♪
I got to see sea turtles, and the time after snorkeling became a wonderful memory. I want to participate again♪
My waterproof camera was a big help✧‧˚

集合場所も分かりやすかったです♪
初めてのハワイでのシュノーケリングでした♪♪
ウミガメも見れて、シュノーケリングの後の時間もとてもいい思い出になりました。また参加したいです♪
防水カメラが大活躍でした✧‧˚

It was easy to participate since they came to pick me up at the hotel!

The people were very friendly, and I was able to have enjoyable conversations.

They took a lot of photos (for an additional fee), and I received beautiful pictures.

I had a great time with stunning views of Hawaii, and it became a memorable experience filled with fun and excitement!

ホテルまで迎えに来て頂いたので参加しやすかったです！

とてもフレンドリーな方々で、楽しくお話することも出来ました。

沢山写真も撮っていただき(別料金)、綺麗な写真も手に入りました。

ハワイの景色が一望でき、楽しさと感動でとにかく楽しかった思い出になりました！

We took the 12 pm tour and boarded the catamaran from the beach. It only took 10 minutes to motor out to the snorkel site so it was not far from shore. There were 3-4 other boats with groups in the same area but there was plenty of space. We snorkeled until everyone had returned to the boat. Then the crew raised the sail and we had a great time coasting over the beautiful blue water, returning just inside of the 3 hour advertised time. Free snacks (chips, granola bars) were provided and you could buy drinks.

The crew were funny, friendly, and gave clear instructions. They kept watch over us during the snorkel. They regularly checked up on each guest after the snorkel to make sure everyone was comfortable. I wear glasses, and have a -5.25 prescription. They had prescription goggles on board that were -6.0 and I was able to see so clearly without my glasses! We saw a group of spinner dolphins on the way out, and I saw 5 different sea turtles below us during the snorkel. Several of them surfaced to breathe close by which was amazing! We saw a baby octopus, and lot of beautiful fish. The crew member in the water with us was good to caution people to give the turtles their space which was important.

Advice: you are barefoot to board the boat and on the boat, and you store your bag and shoes in cubby holes on board. It's good to bring a sun shirt so your back doesn't burn. You do get cold while snorkeling, but less so if you keep moving. Bring a towel and warm clothes to wear after if you tend to get cold. Hats will fly away easily so you need one with a draw string. They provide sunscreen if you forget your own. I took gravol before the trip, so I'm not sure if I needed it!

I booked this tour back around August of 2018 for a February 2019 trip. The original date was supposed to be Sunday morning on their first tour; however, they reached out to us on Saturday morning to notify us rescheduling might be required, as the island was going to be hit with an extremely severe storm over the weekend. Sure enough, Sunday morning came, and it was determined the waters were too unstable to enjoy a safe snorkeling experience. We were able to re-book to Monday afternoon, with the hopes the waters would mellow out and clear up by then. We arrived at the meeting spot, and right as we were about to disembark, we were notified the waters were still too dangerous. We were then given the option to either reschedule, or go sail with them for an hour or so, and get a refund on the snorkeling portion. Given we were leaving the following day, we were unfortunately unable to reschedule, and opted for the sailing. The captain, Ryan, and the rest of the crew were all wonderful, and made it a memorable experience. We were out sailing for around an hour and a half, and the views were breathtaking. They also provided everyone a few free drinks to help make up for the inconvenience, and the free snacks provided were much appreciated. While we never got to enjoy the snorkeling itself, I can vouch for the company and their customer service. Thank you for turning lemons to lemonade! Also, in February it was a bit chilly, so I would recommend a light jacket, and definitely sunglasses :)

This time, I experienced the highest height of 150 meters! It was a quick six minutes, but on the way to the point, a pod of dolphins appeared, and we were lucky enough to see a whale from above, which was truly moving!

Before getting on the boat, if you request photos, for an additional 3,000 yen, the staff will take pictures of you parasailing with a DSLR from inside the boat. You receive the data along with a tip when you get off the boat.

Even if you end up with a funny face in the pictures, you can feel at ease!

All the staff were locals, but they spoke gentle English that was easy to understand, so even those of us who don't speak English could comprehend everything.

I'm really glad I participated in this activity!

今回、一番高い150mの高さを体験してきました！
あっと言う間の６分間でしたが、ポイントに向かう途中にはイルカの群れも現れ、上空からは運良くクジラも見れて感動しました！
船に乗る前に写真を頼むとプラス三千円で船内からスタッフさんが一眼レフでパラセーリング中の写真を撮ってくれます。船から降りる時にチップごとデータをもらえるシステムです。
へんな顔で写ってても安心ですw

スタッフの皆さんは現地の方ばかりでしたが、優しい英語をわかりやすく話してくれたので、英語のできない私達でも理解する事ができました。

こちらのアクティビティに参加して本当に良かったです！

**[Experience Review]**
Since I participated at the end of January, it felt a bit chilly, but I didn't get wet, and the weather was great, so I really enjoyed it! When landing, I had the option to choose whether to land in the water or not, but due to the cold, I opted out of landing in the water (laughs).

**[What I Liked About This Tour]**
During the experience, they took photos from the boat, and they captured some really unique shots (like a shark trying to bite through the parasailing rope). I enjoyed looking at the photos even after returning home.

**[Advice for Future Participants]**
There happened to be a woman who signed up alone, so after my husband and I flew, I ended up flying again with her (laughs). It seems that you can't fly alone unless you weigh over 80 kilograms. I had so much fun that I didn't mind flying twice, but my husband said, "If I were told to fly twice, I'd feel nothing but despair." It seems that 150 meters in Japan and 150 meters in Hawaii mean different things; due to strong winds, it felt very scary for him. (In Japan, the rope length is 150 meters, while in Hawaii, it's the height from the water surface.) I have experienced it in Japan as well, and it was an extraordinary height!

The meeting place is a bit hard to find, so if you're staying at the Hilton and going on your own, I think you should allow some extra time. We got lost. They seem to take photos if you ask, and they gave them to us on an SD card after disembarking. Tips are quite obvious (laughs), as you can see $10 or $20 bills stuck on the boat, so my husband and I gave $20. I didn't mind since it was so much fun!

【実際に体験した感想】
1月末に参加したため少し肌寒く感じましたが水に濡れることもなく
お天気もよかったので本当に楽しかったです！
着地の際は着水するかしないか選べましたが寒さのあまり着水は拒否（笑）


【このツアーで気に入ったところ】
体験中に船から写真を撮ってくれているのですが
なんともユニークな（サメがパラセーリングの紐を食いちぎろうとしてる）
写真も撮ってくれていて、帰ったあとも写真を見て楽しめました。


【これから参加する人へのアドバイス】
たまたま1人で申し込みされている女性がいたため
私は主人と飛んだあと、その女性と再度飛ぶことになりました（笑）
どうやら体重が80キロ以上ないと1人では飛べないらしいです。
私は楽しかったので2度飛ぶことに苦痛は感じませんでしたが
主人は「2回も飛んでなんて言われたら絶望感しかない。」と・・・
日本での150ｍとハワイでの150ｍは意味が違うようで
強風でかなり揺れたこともあり主人にはとても怖く感じたそうです。
（日本はロープの長さが150ｍハワイは水面？からの高さが150ｍ）
実際、日本でも体験したことがありますが規格外の高さでした！

集合場所が少しわかり辛いためヒルトンにお泊りで自力で集合される方は
少し時間に余裕を持って行かれるべきだと思います。私たちは迷いました。
写真は欲しいと言うと撮ってくれるようで下船後にSDでくれました。
チップはあからさま（笑）に船に10ドルや20ドルが刺さってますので
私と主人とで20ドル渡してきました。楽しかったので気になりませんでした！

I participated last summer and had so much fun that I repeated it! This time I brought a GoPro, so I was able to take some great photos and videos, which I was very satisfied with! However, the boat sways a lot, so motion sickness medication is a must.

去年の夏に参加して、とても楽しかったのでリピートしました！
今回はgoproを持参したのでとてもいい写真や動画もとれて満足しました！
ただ、船がとても揺れるので酔い止め必須です。

We signed up for the 110m jump with three adults. I was glad that we could all jump together instead of splitting into two and one. There was just one puzzling incident. After everything was done and we were being taken back to the hotel, for some reason, we went back to the original location even though we were close to the hotel. After that, we were properly taken to the hotel, but I have no idea what that was about since there was no explanation. Well, I guess that kind of thing happens when you're abroad. Overall, it was a good experience.

110ｍを大人3名で申し込みました。2人と1人に分かれてしまうのは嫌だったので、3人一緒に飛べて良かったです。ひとつだけ？な出来事が。すべて終わってホテルへ送ってもらう際、なぜかホテル近くまで行ったにも関わらず、元の場所へ引き返しました。その後しっかりホテルまで送ってもらいましたが、あれは何だったのか、説明もなかったのでわかりません。まあ海外なのでそういうこともある、ということでしょうか。全体的にはよかったです。

It was my first surfing experience, and a former professional surfer taught me carefully, so I was able to ride right away. It was so much fun that I requested another lesson the next day with a different instructor. The instructor on the second day also provided tips for further improvement, and I would like to take lessons again the next time I come to Hawaii.

初めてのサーフィン体験でしたが、元プロサーファーの方が丁寧に教えてくれ、すぐに乗ることができました。
あまりに楽しかったため、次の日もお願いし他の方にレッスンを受けました。次の日の方もさらに上達するポイントを教えてくださり、次にハワイに来るときにはまたレッスンを受けたいと思います。

I participated in a Japanese language guided tour starting at 10 AM, and not only was I able to enjoy the beautiful underwater scenery, but I also learned about the types of fish, the history of the reefs, and how colors appear underwater. It was a lot of fun!

10時からの日本語解説ツアーに参加したため、美しい海底の景色を眺めるだけでなく、魚の種類や漁礁の歴史や海底での色の見え方等の話が聞けて、とても楽しめました。

I read the reviews on Veltra thoroughly and participated in the 150m experience. I'm not good with amusement park roller coasters and try to avoid them as much as possible, so I was a bit worried, but looking at the distant scenery made it less scary and quite enjoyable. The weather was nice, and Diamond Head and the town of Waikiki were very beautiful. My children, who are in 6th grade and 1st year of middle school, also seemed to have a great time. The boat was rocking, and the kids got seasick, so I think it's better to take motion sickness medication. The captain was cheerful, but due to language barriers, I couldn't understand much of what he was saying in English. Still, he entertained us with gestures, and I appreciated his consideration for the seasick kids. We tipped $20 for our family of four.

ベルトラの体験談をしっかり読んで150mに参加しました。遊園地のジェットコースターとかも得意ではなく、極力乗らないようにしているので心配もありましたが、遠くの景色を見ていると怖さもそれほどなく楽しめました。天気も良かったのでダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの町がとても綺麗でした。
小学校6年と中学1年の子供達も楽しかったようです。
船が揺れて子供達は船酔いしていたので、酔い止めは飲んだほうが良いと思います。
キャプテンも陽気でしたが、学力の問題で英語は何言ってるかよくわかりませんでした。それでも、ジェスチャーなどで楽しませてくれてましたし、船酔いした子供達への気配りはありがたかったです。
チップは家族4人で20ドルにしました。

It was unfortunately rainy on the day, but during the parasailing, the sun came out and a round rainbow appeared below! I felt like I had the rainbow in Hawaii all to myself. I'm glad I decided to try it. It was so much fun.

当日はあいにくの雨でしたがパラセーリングの途中で陽が射し、眼下に円い虹が！
ハワイの虹を独り占めしたような気分になりました。
思い切って体験して良かったです。とても楽しかったです。

We experienced this as a couple. As soon as we arrived, we were able to board the boat without waiting. There were a total of four groups on the boat. Right after boarding, we were given life jackets and headed out to sea! It was cloudy, so it was cold until we got out to the open water—I regretted not bringing a long-sleeve rash guard, but once we were up in the air, I forgot all about the cold and had so much fun! The 150-meter height and the duration of the flight were longer compared to others, and I didn't feel much fear at all. I had confirmed the photo service for $30 from previous experiences, and I was glad I ordered it because I received photos that I couldn't take myself! The tip and photo service payment are separate, so it's a good idea to bring some small change. You can return within two hours, making it a great way to use your morning or afternoon—highly recommended!

夫婦二人で体験しました。
到着してすぐ、待たずに船に乗れました。合計4組で船に乗りました。
乗ってすぐにライフジャケットを着せてもらって沖へ！
曇っていたので沖に出るまでが寒かったですー長袖のラッシュガードを持って行けばよかったと後悔しましたが、上空は寒さも忘れるくらい楽しかったですー！150メートル、滞空時間もほかに比べて長いですし恐怖感はそこまで感じませんでした。
事前に体験談で確認していた写真サービス30ドル、自分では撮ることができない写真がもらえたので頼んで良かったです！
チップと写真サービスの支払いは別なので細かいお金を少し用意していくといいです。２時間以内で戻って来られるので朝も、午後も有意義に使えるしおススメです！

First time paragliding
I challenged myself at 150.
I participated with my mother and daughter.
It was scary but fun‼️
I got to see Honolulu from the sea.
I was lucky to see whales up close as well.
Photos are available for an additional $30 if you request them.
A tip of $10 is appreciated.
I definitely encourage everyone to give it a try!

They provide transportation to the hotel. You will go to the destination with other people. We were in a two-person ride, but three-person rides are also possible. There were some individuals who came alone, and in that case, they will fly with another solo rider. I'm not good with heights, but I intentionally chose to go up to 150 meters. Looking down was a bit scary, but it was totally fine. They also fulfilled the promise of a splash in the sea (in my case, I was dropped quite deep). The staff were cheerful, and it was a lot of fun. The scenery was great, and it was truly the best!

ホテルまで送迎してくれます。他の方たちと一緒に目的地に行くことになります。自分達は2人乗りでしたが、3人乗りも可能です。1人できている方もいて、その場合は他の1人乗りの方と一緒に飛ぶことになります。自分は高いところが苦手ですが、あえて150mにしました。下を見たら若干怖かったですが、全然大丈夫でした。お約束の海ポチャもしてくれました（私の場合は、結構深くまで落とされました）。スタッフの方も明るく、楽しかったです。景色もよく、本当に最高でした！

It was unfortunately a cloudy day with strong winds, so the scenery was a bit disappointing, but I think I would have enjoyed it if the weather had been clear. There was also a paid photo service available!

あいにくのお天気で曇り空で、風が強い日でしたので、少し景色が残念でしたが、快晴であれば楽しめたと思います。有料ですが、写真撮影サービスもありました！

Parasailing over the ocean was amazing. The tour guides were cheerful and kind, which was great. Although it was 120 meters, I was satisfied that I was able to go up high. I only fell into the water with my lower body, so my face didn't get splashed, which was nice. I was able to enjoy a panoramic view of the Hawaiian scenery, and it became a wonderful memory.

海の上でのパラセーリングは最高でした。
ツアーの方も愉快で優しくて良かったです。120mでしたが上の方まで上がることができて満足でした。海に落ちるのは下半身だけで顔に水が被らなくてよかったです。ハワイの景色を一望できていい思い出になりました。

We went to our destination not just by ourselves but also with others on the same boat. The staff who provided transportation and handled the parasailing were very friendly, which naturally lifted our spirits! It was my first time parasailing, and since I wanted to make the most of it, I decided to choose the plan that goes up to the highest point, 150 meters. When I actually did it, the height was quite significant. Of course, individual experiences may vary, but I found it very enjoyable and didn't feel scared at all. The view of the scenery and the ocean from above is amazing! Right before the end, they even give you a little splash in the sea! Your face probably won't get wet! This is definitely one activity I want to do again if I get the chance!

自分達だけでなく他の方と同じボートで目的地に行きます。送迎の方やパラセーリングを担当してくれた方も凄く気さくでテンションも自然と上がります！初めてパラセーリングしたのですが、せっかくなので1番高くまで上がるプランにしようと考え150mを選びました。実際やってみるとかなり高さはあります。個人差はもちろんあると思いますが、私はとても楽しく怖さはありませんでした。上から見る景色や海は最高です！終わり間際に海ポチャも軽くしてくれます！顔までは多分濡れません！
出来るならまた絶対やりたいアクティビティの１つです！

The instructors were from overseas, but they understood the necessary Japanese and explained everything in a fun way. The activities were excellent!

Since the boat sways quite a bit, I think it's a good idea to have motion sickness medication.

インストラクターの方達は海外の方でしたが必要な日本語は理解してくれていて、楽しく説明してくれてアクティビティも最高でした！

船が結構揺れるので酔い止めはあった方がいいと思います

The venue was not as large as I expected, but it was an impressive show where the dancers were clearly visible. However, there were notes on the voucher regarding dress code, stating that T-shirts were not allowed and long pants were required, yet most people were dressed in shorts and sandals. While a collared shirt was worn on top, I believe it would have been better if the guidelines had specified that collared shirts were acceptable and that any pants except swimwear were allowed.

会場が思ったほど広くなく、ダンサーが良く見え迫力満点のショーでした　　ただ、服装の関係でTシャツNG・長ズボンなど注意点がバウチャーに記載されていましたが、ほとんどの人は短パン・サンダルの格好であった。
上着は襟付きシャツでしたが・・
格式あるショーであると思いますが、記載の際に上着襟付きならOK・ズボンは水着以外OKとの記載でもよかったのではと思いました

We decided to try it out on short notice and made a reservation the day before. I received a request from Veltra to change the time, and since it was the day before, I adjusted my plans a bit and decided to go for the experience. I didn't feel seasick, and it turned out to be a fun experience. Although the conversation was in English, I appreciated the lively and humorous vibe typical of international interactions. I also purchased photos for $30, which became a great memory!

急遽やってみようという話になり前日に予約しました。
一度ベルトラさんの方から時間を変えてほしいという連絡をもらい前日だったため少し予定を変更し体験することにしました。
船酔いもなく、楽しい体験になりました。英語での会話ですが、笑わせてくれたり盛り上げてくれる海外のノリがまたいいなと感じました。
写真も30ドルで購入し、いい思い出になりました！

I participated with three friends from university. At first, we were all a bit nervous due to fear, but the staff's cheerful energy quickly eased our tension. Parasailing was truly exhilarating, and I'm glad I had such an experience in my life. While jet skiing, there was music playing, and the staff helped create a lively atmosphere, which was fantastic! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to use this service again.

大学の友人3人と参加させていただきました。
最初は全員恐怖心もあって、少し緊張していたのですがスタッフの方のテンションが陽気すぎて緊張感はすぐに無くなりました。
パラセーリングは本当に気持ちよくて、人生でこんな経験が出来て良かったなと思います。
ジェットスキー内では音楽がかかってたり、スタッフの方が場を盛り上げてくれるので雰囲気も◎でした！
次ハワイに行く機会があればまた是非利用したいと思います。

I wanted to make my 6-year-old child happy, so I participated, but they started saying it was boring halfway through, which was tough. My 75-year-old mother was happy, so that was a relief. I've been to Hawaii nearly 20 times, but as a first-time participant, I was able to see what was going on in the ocean, and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

6歳の子供に喜んでもらいたくて、参加したのですが、
途中でつまらないと言い出してしまって参りました。
75歳の母は喜んでくれて一安心でした。
20回近くハワイに来ているのですが、初めて参加した私は海の中の様子がわかり、割と楽しめて
よかったです。

I chose the 150m option, but the higher you go, the better the view. You can enjoy the scenery around Waikiki in the sky where you only hear the sound of the wind.

For an additional $30, you can have a photo taken from below with a DSLR, but I wish I had taken some pictures of the view from above as well. I should have brought a cable to attach the camera to my neck to avoid dropping it.

When you land, you wear a life jacket, so only your lower body gets wet. The staff made it a fun experience, creating wonderful memories. I can't ride roller coasters, but I really enjoyed this.

150mにしましたが、やはり高い方が景色がいいです。風の音しかしない上空でワイキキ周辺の景色を楽しめます。
一眼レフでの写真を30$追加で下から撮ってもらえますが、上空からの景色も撮っておけばよかったと思っています。
落とさないようにケーブルで首につけてカメラを持っていけばよかったです。
最後に着水するときはライフジャケットをつけているので腰下しか濡れません。
スタッフの方が楽しませてくれるので最高の思い出になりました。
私はジェットコースター乗れませんが、これは楽しめました。

A bright blue sky, white clouds, and a warm welcome from many dolphins. I made the best memories. Next time, I definitely want to challenge myself to the highest level.

真っ青な空、白い雲、たくさんのイルカのお出迎え。最高の思い出が出来ました。今度は是非とも最高度に挑戦したいです。
