All Reviews for For 9 Year Olds

Due to strong winds on the day of the tour, there were overall delays, and the start time was pushed back. However, the woman at the reception booth and the staff on the boat provided friendly and professional service. I was concerned that the time spent in the air might be short, but it was sufficient. I think it was because it was a windy day, but there can be some turbulence while in the air. For those with a weak vestibular system or who are prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance, avoiding heavy meals beforehand, and participating on an empty stomach.

当日強風のためツアーが全体的に遅れており、開始時間は後倒しになりましたが、受付小屋の女性も、船上のスタッフも、フレンドリーでプロフェッショナルなサービスを提供してくれました。上空滞在時間が短いのではないか？と思いましたが、充分です。風が強い日だったからだと思うのですが、上空で揺れる場合があります。三半規管が弱い方、乗り物酔いし易い方は予め酔い止めを服用し、事前の食事は控え、胃の中を空にして参加することをお勧めいたします。

The flight lasted longer than I expected.
We were able to ride with three family members.
Even though I couldn't speak Japanese, it was totally fine.
It was so much fun!
The only downside was my son's motion sickness...

思ったりより飛んでる時間が長かった。
家族３人で乗れた。
日本語が通じないけど全然大丈夫です。
とっても楽しかった！
息子の船酔いだけが残念でした。。。

When you arrive at the meeting place, you'll be taken by caravan to the departure location. A high-energy man came to greet us.
On the bus, I met others who would be participating in parasailing and we chatted. Since we had participated in the Honolulu Marathon, we had a common topic to bond over.
Upon arrival, we checked in, and a young man guided us to the boat that would take us to the parasailing spot.
There are no changing rooms, so I recommend wearing your swimsuit under your clothes.
You will be instructed on how to put on the harness. Then, you'll take turns parasailing. Even if you can't speak English, you can understand through gestures. All dangerous items are removed. You can bring a GoPro.
If you want to take your phone, I recommend putting it in a waterproof case and hanging it around your neck.

I felt nervous before flying, but since you ascend slowly, it's not scary. The harness provides stability, so I wasn't anxious even at 150 meters above the ground.
At the end, the young man driving the boat adjusts it so that you can dip your feet in the sea (photo included).
Also, if you become friendly with others parasailing, you can take turns taking pictures of each other. We entrusted our phones and cameras to each other and took great photos.

Finally, the young man who drove the boat asks for a tip. It feels awkward not to pay, so I recommend bringing some change.

At the end, they will drive you back to the front of the hotel.

集合場所に行くと、キャラバンに乗せられて出航場所で行きます。ハイテンションなおじさんが迎えに来てくれました
バスの中で一緒にパラセーリングに参加する人達と出会い、お話などもしました。私達はホノルルマラソンに参加していた事もあって、共通話題で盛り上がりました‍♀️
到着すると受付をし、若いお兄さんの誘導でボートに乗ってパラセーリングをする場所まで連れて行ってくれます
着替え場所はないので、服の下に水着を着ておくと良いと思います。
ベルトの装着を指導に従ってつけて行きます。そして、順番にパラセーリングします。英語が話せなくてもジェスチャーでわかります。危険なものは全て退けます。ゴープロは持って行くことが出来ました
携帯を持って行きたい方は、防水ケースに入れて、首からさげておけるようにしておくことをお勧めします。

飛ぶ前はドキドキしましたが、ゆっくり上昇していくので怖くはありません。ベルトで安定感があるので上空150メートルも不安はありませんでした
最後に足を海につけられるように、ボートを運転するお兄さんが調整してくれます。（写真あり）
また、一緒にパラセーリングをする方と仲良くなっておくと、写真の取り合いっこができます。
それぞれに携帯を預けたり、カメラを預けたりなどして、良い写真を撮り合いしました

最後にボートの運転をしたお兄さんにチップをお願いされます。払わないのも気まずいので、小銭を持って行くことをお勧めします。

最後にまたホテル前まで車で送ってくれます。

The harbor is also close to Ala Moana, and it's only about a 5-minute boat ride to the point, making it very efficient to enjoy. Seeing Waikiki from the sea is worth it by itself.

港もアラモアナと近く、ポイントまでもボートで5分程と近く大変効率的に楽しめした。海から見るワイキキはそれだけでも価値があります。

I experienced severe seasickness, but it was fun. I would like to request the shuttle service to be a bit more punctual. Overall, the staff at the parasailing company were friendly, and I had a great time.

船酔いが激しかった。でもたのしかったです。
送迎だけもう少し時間ジャストにお願いしたいです。全体的にはパラセーリングの会社方達も気さくな方が多く楽しく過ごせました。

I participated in this tour with my 16-year-old son. The backstage tour allowed us to experience a bit of the behind-the-scenes world and the view from the stage to the audience, which was a very luxurious time. The show featuring Elvis and Michael was incredibly impressive, and my son enjoyed it even though he didn't know the songs. Especially, the fire dance was intense, and being in the front row added to the excitement.

The meals were generous and delicious; the American couple sitting next to us also mentioned how good the meat was. (Personally, I really enjoyed the conversation in English with that couple.) While you can enjoy just watching the show, this tour allowed us to have a total experience.

息子（16歳）との二人旅で今回のツアーに参加しました。バックステージツアーで舞台裏、ステージ上からの観客席展望と演出者達の世界を少し体験でき、またショーも最前列で鑑賞と大変贅沢な時間となります。
ショーもエルビス、マイケルと非常に見ごたえがあり、息子も曲が分からなくてもノリノリで楽しんでいました。特に、ファイヤーダンスは最前列ならではの熱気も感じ緊張感がハンパありません。
食事もボリュームがあり全て美味しかったです、隣に座ったアメリカ人夫婦もお肉が美味しいと言ってました。（個人的には、その夫婦との英語での会話も非常に楽しかったです）
ショーを観るだけでも楽しめますが、このツアーでトータル的に楽しむ事ができました。

The scenery was beautiful, and it wasn't as shaky or scary as I thought it would be! I want to do it again when I come to Hawaii! The instructor? The guy was handsome!

景色も綺麗だし、思っていたよりも揺れず怖くなかったです！
またハワイに来たらやりたい！
インストラクター？のお兄さんがイケメンでした！

I experienced parasailing 20 years ago, but perhaps due to my age, fear took over this time...

I took motion sickness medication to prevent seasickness, changed into my swimsuit, and got into the pickup car. However, upon arrival, it was canceled due to strong winds. They smoothly rescheduled for the next day. After that, I also received an email from Veltra, and their quick response was appreciated.

My children had their first experience, enjoying simple English with the fun driver and getting excited about the speed of the boat. We had a great time.

Although the weather affected our plans, I was glad we could experience it safely.

I was worried about falling into the sea, but it was just shallow enough to stand. If I had communicated my concerns about falling in beforehand, it would have been fine. However, there wasn't much thrill.

I also requested photo shooting, and they captured a family photo on one SD card. There were some unique pictures, and I was glad I asked for it. In total, there were about 80 photos.

20年前にもパラセイルを体験したのですが
さすがに年のせいか、恐怖の方が勝りました…。

その場で、翌日に変更していただき、対応も
スムーズでした。
そのあと、ベルトラさんからもメールがきて
素早い対応をしていただきました。

子供たちは初めての体験で、ノリのいいドライバーさんと
簡単な英語を楽しんだり、

楽しい時間を過ごせました。

天候に左右されましたが、無事に体験出来て
よかったです。

心配していた海ポチャは足がつく程度で
最初に海ポチャはやめて～と伝えておけば大丈夫でした。
ただ、スリル感は無いですが。

写真撮影もお願いして、４人家族で１枚のSDカードに
納めてくれました。
ユニークな写真もあり、お願いしてよかったです。
全部で８０枚くらいありました。

My 9-year-old child participated, and they were taught kindly, quickly getting the hang of riding the waves. They even took us further out based on their progress, and my child was very satisfied. We will definitely go again next time.

They provide marine shoes, but it's better to bring your own. It might also be good to have a rash guard. I think it's best to be prepared to change quickly.

9歳の子供が参加しましたが優しく教えてくれてあっという間に波に乗れました。上達具合で沖にも連れて行ってくれて本人も大満足です。また、次回乗りに行きます。
マリンシューズは貸してくれますが、持参したほうが良いです。ラッシュもあったほうが良いかも。すぐ着替えられるようにして行ったほうが良いと思います。

Parasailing was so much fun! I forgot my smartphone on the shuttle bus, but when I called the tour contact, they quickly checked and brought it to the original meeting point. I really appreciated it. Thank you!

パラセーリングとても楽しかったです！
送迎バスにスマホを忘れたんですが、ツアーの連絡先に電話をすると直ぐに、確認してくださって、最初の待ち合わせ場所に持って来てくれて、助かりました。ありがとうございました！

What I realized after coming to Waikiki is that the waves are very small. My children (ages 13 and 11) participated, and they were able to stand up on the longboard right away on those small waves. The instructor pushes them from behind, so even kids can ride easily. Once they get on, they can stay up for quite a while. I think they were out there for about 30 to 40 minutes. After finishing, we had to wait about 30 minutes for the bus to arrive, and later I thought that since we stayed at the Sheraton and the location was near the Marriott, we could have just walked back. In the morning, the pickup was also about 30 minutes late. The transportation service was quite unreliable.

ワイキキにきて分かったのは波が非常に小さいということ。
子供（13,11歳）だけが参加したのですが、あの小さな波にロングボード
で一発で立てていました。インストラクターが後から押してくれるので
子供でも楽に乗ることが出来ます。一度乗ると結構長く乗っていられます。
3～40分位やっていたと思います。終わってからバスがくるまで３０分位
待たされ、後で考えたら泊まったのがシェラトン、現地がマリオット付近。
歩いて帰れば良かった。朝も30分位迎えに来るのが遅れた。送迎がいいかげんでした。

I participated with my partner. Every time I come to Hawaii, I can't help but join in on parasailing because it's so much fun. The excitement of going up into the sky and the surrounding scenery is just amazing! As we go higher and higher, when we reach the top, it becomes a quiet space just for the two of us, where we can only hear the sound of the wind (*^^*).

From the boat, a photographer was taking pictures, and it was great to have memories captured both in my heart and in physical form! When I looked at the photos I received, I was surprised at how big my smile was! (laughs) There were also families participating, like a father, mother, and daughter, and they looked like they were having a lot of fun.

彼と2人で参加しました。
ハワイに来るたびにあまりの楽しさについ毎回の参加してしまうパラセーリング。
空に上がっていく時のワクワク感と周りの景色がとにかく最高です！どんどん高くなっていき、1番上まで行くと風の音だけ聞こえる静かな2人だけの空間になります(*^^*)
船の上からはカメラマンのお兄さんが写真を撮っていてくれて、思い出が心にも形にも残るのもまた嬉しかっです！受け取ったデータを見ると、びっくりするくらいの笑顔で写っていました！（笑）
父母娘さんの3人で参加している方もいて、とても楽しそうでした。

It was my first experience. Since I was there, I did the 150. The view from the sky was amazing. After going out to sea by boat, those who are prone to seasickness might need medication. It's something you can't do in everyday life, so I definitely recommend trying it!

初めて経験。せっかくなので150をしました。空からの景色はすごく良かったです。船で沖まで出てからなので船酔いは気になる人は薬がいるかも。日常では出来ないので是非やって見てもらいたい！

The green room experience is a must do experience, especially for those that enjoy theater shows! The family all loved it and the opportunity to meet the stars of the show, talk with them and take pictures while sipping champagne and eating hors d’oeuvres was fun and insightful. Elvis was especially friendly and personable! The food was very good, especially the tender steak and creamy mashed potatoes. The Polynesian dancers were exciting to watch and the sword and fire welding dancer was amazing! A good mix of the Hawaiian culture with the feel of a rock concert that the whole family can appreciate and enjoy! We would definitely recommend it if you have not been before!

All the staff spoke English, but the explanations for the equipment were easily conveyed through gestures, making everything smooth. There were two staff members on the boat who really energized the atmosphere, and it was a lot of fun. Although there is a height requirement when booking, I felt that the height and duration were about the same for every session, so I went with the cheapest option. (laughs) During our session, three out of four groups were Japanese, and we exchanged our own cameras to take pictures. When disembarking, I gave tips to the two staff members. We also tipped the driver for our transfer, but I noticed that other guests did not give tips. The pickup was smooth, and they helped us get on and off the vehicle, so I felt it would be better to give a tip if possible.

スタッフ全員英語ですが装具の説明はジェスチャーで十分伝わり、スムーズでした。
船のスタッフは2人でとても盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです。申し込みでは高さの設定がありますが、実際聞かれることもなくどの回も同じくらいの高さ、時間だったように感じます。なので1番安いやつで申し込んでました。笑
自分たちの時は4組中3組が日本人で自前のカメラを交換して撮影してもらいました。
下船の時にスタッフ2人にチップを渡しました。
送迎の運転手さんへも私たちはチップを渡しましたが、他のお客さんは渡している方はいませんでした。ピックアップスムーズで、乗り降りの時も手をかしてくれたので、できればチップを渡した方がいいと感じました。

We experienced parasailing as a family for the first time. We were worried about the weather since it rained heavily the day before, but on the day itself, there was no wind and we were blessed with good weather. Everyone in the family was a bit anxious, but once we took off, it was simply amazing! I highly recommend it!

家族で初めてパラセーリングを体験しました。
前日が凄い雨だったので天気が心配でしたが、
当日は風もなく、よい天気に恵まれました。
家族みんな少し不安もありましたが、いざ飛んでみたら、
もー、素晴らしいの一言！
オススメしますよ！

The day I had my reservation, it unexpectedly rained heavily, so I postponed it to the next day. The next day was sunny, and I was able to experience the best parasailing.

予約した日は、まさかの大雨だったので、翌日に延期。
翌日は晴れ。最高のパラセイリングを体験することができました。

Even someone as scared as I am had a great time!! I want to do it again! It wasn't scary because we went up slowly. They also took wonderful photos, and I'm very satisfied!

怖がりな私でもとっても楽しめました！！
もう一度やりたいです！
ゆっくりと上がっていくので怖くなかったです。
素敵な写真も撮ってくれて大満足です！

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon, and it was an incredibly enjoyable time! Next time, I want to go with our children when we have them. The staff were great at creating a lively atmosphere, making it a very memorable experience.

新婚旅行でハワイに行き、めちゃめちゃ気持ちのいい時間になりました！
今度は子供ができたら一緒に行きたいと思っています。
スタッフの方も盛り上げ上手でとても思い出に残る時間になりました。

Coral has died, and efforts are underway for artificial reefs and coral restoration. Around the reefs, schools of fish, green sea turtles, and rays could be observed. Overall, including the transportation, boarding arrangements, and underwater scenery, the Atlantis experience I participated in 25 years ago in Maui was better.

珊瑚が死滅し、人工の漁礁と珊瑚の再生努力中。
漁礁周辺には魚群、アオウミガメ、エイなどが観賞できた。
送迎、乗船までの段取り、海底の景観など総合的に、25年前に参加したマウイ島でのアトランテイスのほうが良かった。

They picked me up in a car with cheerful music blasting! My energy was high from the morning! After getting off the bus and waiting for a while, I was guided to the boat. There were only two families, who seemed to be American. When I asked the staff to take a photo, they gave me an SD card and said it would be $30, so I decided to go for it. Honestly, it was expensive, but I’m glad I bought it for the memories. It mentioned to bring a bath towel and a change of clothes, but since only my feet got wet, I didn’t need them. The scenery was beautiful, and I felt it was a great experience to have for the first time.

陽気な音楽がガンガンかかった車でお迎えに来てくれました！朝からテンション高い！
バスを降りて、しばらく待っていると船へと案内されました。
アメリカ人？の親子と２組だけでした。
スタッフに、写真を撮ってもらうとSDカードをくれて30ドルとのことだったのでお願いしました。
正直高いけど、思い出に買ってよかったと思います。
持ち物に、バスタオル、着替えと書いてありましたが、足しか濡れないので、いりませんでした。
景色もよく、はじめての体験でやってよかったと思いました。

I had a really great time! The instructor was friendly, and it became a memorable part of my trip to Hawaii. Thank you!

本当に楽しかったです！
インストラクターもフレンドリーで、ハワイ旅行の思い出になりました^_^ありがとうございました！

We had dinner first, and then the show started after we finished eating. I was very satisfied with both the meal and the show. I would like to go again if the show content changes.

先にご飯食べてから、食べ終わってからショーが始まる流れでした。
ご飯の内容、ショーの内容も非常に満足です。
またショーの内容が変わったら行ってみたいです。

This time, due to the weather, there were two schedule changes on-site, but the staff at VELTRA were very kind and helped us, allowing us to fly safely. When I had questions on-site and called, I was relieved that I could communicate entirely in Japanese, possibly because there was a Japanese staff member.

For parasailing, there were two staff members, and while we were waiting, they kept the atmosphere lively, which was a lot of fun. The view from 150 meters was truly breathtaking!

One thing to note is that the boat used for transportation shakes a lot, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it's better to take some anti-nausea medication.

At the end, as a thank you for the enjoyable experience, everyone gave tips to the staff (I’m not sure about the standard amount, but we gave $10 each to the two staff members). It was truly the most pleasant and fun experience!

今回は、天候の関係で2度ほど現地で日程変更があったのですが、VELTRAの方がとても親切に対応してくださり、無事に飛べました。
現地で聞きたい事があり、電話した時にも日本人スタッフの方だったのか、全て日本語でやり取りができた事にも安心しました。
パラセーリングは、スタッフの方2名だったのですが、待ってる間は、常に場を盛り上げてくれて、とても楽しかったですし、150mからの眺めは、まさに絶景でした！
注意点としては、移動の船がものすごく揺れるので、乗り物弱い方は、酔い止め飲まれた方がいいです。
最後は、楽しませてもらったお礼にスタッフの方に皆さんチップを渡されてました(相場は分かりませんが、私達は2名の方に10＄ずつ渡しました)。
本当に最高に気持ちよく楽しい体験でした！

The transportation to the flight was very enjoyable. However, there was one issue with the group division; my brother-in-law, his wife, and her sister's son were placed in one group and flew together. Since we received photos, it would have been better if we could have flown separately.

送迎から飛ぶまでとても楽でした。1点だけグループ分けの部分で勝手に決められてしまい私の義理の兄と奥さんの義理の妹とその息子が1つのグループで飛ばされてしまいました。
写真も頂いたので別々で飛べたらもっと良かった

We came to Hawaii to bring our young daughter, age 7, for her first trip, hoping it would be a memorable one, and she was over the moon with this experience. She got a bit queasy for just a few minutes with the short ferry ride to the sub, but after that, she was perfectly fine. The sub itself was roomy enough to not feel like you were sitting on someone else, and everyone gets window seats, so there is no need to worry about not seeing something. They do 180s so that both sides of the sub get to see everything. Amazing. They have sunken plane and ship wreckage that have allowed artificial reefs to be created, and they are teeming with fish. I've personally been to Hawaii over 20 times in my life and this has by far got to be the best experience I've ever had. Bring a light sweater for the breezy trip to and from the sub, if you're prone to getting chilly in ocean breeze. Don't forget to look in the water when you're on the pier waiting for the ferry - there are reef fish there, too!

I challenged myself to 150 meters of parasailing! I thought if I was going to do it, I might as well go for the highest option. I was a bit anxious about what it would be like before getting on, but once I was up there, the view of Honolulu was amazing and very refreshing. The boat crew was also a lot of fun and kept the guests entertained. I definitely want to do it again!

１５０メートルのパラセーリングにチャレンジしました！どうせやるなら1番高い方がいいなあと思い決断しました。乗るまではどんなものか少し不安でしたが、実際に乗ってみると高い方がホノルルを一望できてとても爽快でした。ボートのクルー達もとても面白い人達でお客さんを楽しませてくれました。また乗ってみたいなあと思いました。

It was so much fun! I was excited and nervous, but I flew over the ocean. For a moment, I felt a bit scared, but since I was with someone else, I felt very reassured. Once I put on the safety belt and thought I was ready, I was suddenly in the air. I quickly soared higher and higher. Once I was up there, I didn't feel scared anymore and enjoyed the Hawaiian breeze. In the end, I splashed into the water (laughs). The staff took photos from the boat, and I bought a USB memory for $25. I'm still enjoying looking at those photos (they turned out to be quite interesting).

楽しかった～！！ワクワクドキドキでしたが海の上を飛んできました。一瞬、恐怖心も出てくるのですが二人乗りだったので、とても心強かったです。安全ベルトをつけ準備ができたと思ったらあっという間に空へ。みるみるうちに高く飛んでいました。上がってしまうと怖さもなくハワイの風を感じて楽しみました。最後は水にチャポ～ン（笑）スタッフの方がボートから写真を写してくれていて２５ドルでＵＳＢメモリーを買いました。その写真を見ては、また楽しんでいます。（なかなか面白い写真が撮れていました）

The Rock-a-Flash show I attended was an incredibly luxurious and enjoyable experience. First, I received a backstage pass at the reception and was able to enter the venue before other guests. It felt a bit exclusive! I was led into a dazzling and beautiful room where I enjoyed champagne (we had non-alcoholic champagne) and tropical-themed appetizers, really savoring the VIP atmosphere. After that, I got to peek into the costume room where Elvis and the dancers' outfits were kept, and I was able to touch some of the actual props while taking photos and having fun. I even got to stand on stage, which was a bit exciting (laughs). As the mood lifted, it was time for dinner. The course meal was luxurious and delicious. My favorite was the truffle mashed potatoes, which had a taste I had never experienced before and left me very satisfied. After finishing dessert, the show began! The performances by Elvis, Michael, and the dancers were truly professional and amazing. Among them, the fire knife act was particularly impressive, and sitting in the front row, I could feel the heat of the flames, which was thrilling and nerve-wracking. The fun time flew by, but I was able to have a truly wonderful night.

今回参加したロック・ア・フラショーは大変贅沢で楽しいひとときでした。まずは受付でバックステージパスカードを受け取り首から下げ他のお客様より先に会場の中へ。ちょっと優越感！煌びやかで素敵なお部屋に通されシャンパン（私達はノンアルコールシャンパン）と南国チックなアペタイザーを頂きながらＶＩＰな気分も味わいました。その後、エルビスやダンサーが着る衣裳部屋をのぞかせてもらったり実際に使う道具を触らせてもらったり写真も撮りながら楽しみました。ステージにも立ちちょっと興奮（笑）だんだん気分も盛り上がりディナータイムへ。コース料理はどれも豪華で美味しかったです。特に私が気にいったのはトリュフ入りのマッシュポテト。今まで食べたことのない味で大満足でした。デザートまで完食してしばらくするとショーの始まり！！エルビス、マイケル、ダンサーの皆さんのパフォーマンスはさすがプロという感じで素晴らしかったです。その中でもファイヤーナイフはかなりの迫力があり一番前の席だったこともあって炎の熱さが伝わりドキドキハラハラでした。楽しい時間はあっという間に過ぎてしまいましたがとても素敵な夜を過ごすことができました。
