All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I was wondering if such a large canoe could ride the waves, but I was completely wrong! It rides the waves over a longer distance than regular surfing. The exhilaration of riding the waves while looking at Diamond Head in the waters of Hawaii is incredibly refreshing!

Just follow the captain's simple instructions: paddle or rest, that's all. You don't need to speak English to enjoy it!

こんな大きなカヌーが波に乗るのか？なんて思っていましたが、大間違い！
ふつうのサーフィンよりも長い距離波に乗ります。
ハワイの海でダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながら波に乗る爽快感は抜群に気持ち良いです！

キャプテンの簡単な指示に従って、漕ぐか休むか、それだけ。英語が出来なくても大丈夫です！

The weather was really nice, and overall it was amazing. The scenery and the color of the sea were truly beautiful, and I wanted to fly again. It felt natural and wasn't scary at all, both during takeoff and landing. The crew was friendly and had a great vibe, making it a lot of fun!!

天気がとても良く、とにかく最高でした。景色も海の色も本当にきれいで、また飛びたいと思いました。飛ぶ時も降りるときも自然で怖くありませんでした。船の方も親切でノリもよく、楽しかったです！！

It was my second parasailing experience, and it was just as great as before!!! However, last time they burned the photos onto a CD and sold them, but this time it was a rental format where I had to copy the data myself, which was disappointing... But I took a ton of pictures with my own digital camera!!! The view from the sky was amazing!!

2回目のパラセイリング体験でしたが、やはりとてもよかった！！！
ただ、前回は撮ってくれた写真のデータをCDに焼いて売ってくれましたが
今回は、データをレンタルで自分でコピーして下さい形式で残念でした。。。
でも自分のデジカメで撮りまくったので！！！
空中からの眺め、最高でした！！

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。

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 had so many questions about this tour that I called Veltra 7 times- and each time the gentleman was kind and courteous and told me to call back if I had any more questions. It was easy dealing with this company and very affordable.
Thank you for making this experience memorable. My whole family thanks you!

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!!

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。

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.

I participated because I wanted to view Honolulu from the sea. The participants were all cheerful foreigners, and the crew was also very friendly. Since it was July, there were many families with children. We were an older couple, so we took our place in the middle of the yacht, under the sail, wearing windbreakers, while many others seemed to be in their swimsuits.

At first, we went a little offshore with the outboard motor, then raised the sail and sailed smoothly across the vast ocean. Occasionally, large waves came, and the people in front were splashed with seawater and having a great time. After about 40 minutes offshore, we turned around and headed back to Honolulu.

By the way, it was barefoot inside the boat, and drinks were available for purchase. I wasn't sure if there was a restroom.

沖からホノルルを眺めたくて参加しました。
参加者は、陽気な外人ばかりでクルーともども乗りがよかったです。
７月だったので子供連れが目立ちました。
われわれはロートルカップルなので、ヨットの真ん中、帆の下に陣取り、ウインドブレーカーを着込みましたが、ほかの人々は水着のままの人が多かったようです。
初めは船外機で少し沖に出て、帆を張って快調に大海原を航海しました。
時々大きな波がきて、前方の人は頭から海水をかぶってはしゃいでました。
４０分ほど沖に出てから、Ｕターンをしてホノルルに向かいました。

ちなみに、船内は裸足、ドリンク類の販売はありました。
トイレはあるかどうか不明でした。

Great fun. I would recommend them and go again!! They made everyone comfortable and safety was utmost important to them.

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.

I participated with a friend. Since it was my first experience, I was both excited and a little anxious! When the lesson started, I was taught by a foreigner who could speak Japanese, and they explained everything very clearly and in detail, so even someone like me, who is not good at English, understood it well (laughs). Also, since we were in the ocean, the instructor stayed with us. They watched the wave conditions and pushed the board when a good wave came. Thanks to that, I was able to ride without falling even once, and I had a very satisfying time!

友達と二人で参加をしました。初体験ということもあり楽しみと少し不安な気持ちもありました！
レッスンが始まると日本語が話せる外人から教えていただき、とてもわかりやすくかつ細かく教えて頂き英語が苦手なあたしでもよーくわかりました（笑）
そして、海に入ってたからも先生はついてきてくれました。
波の状態をみながら、いい波がくるとボードを押してくれました。おかけで一回も転倒することなくのれ大満足の時間がすごせました！

I was super excited to catch some waves on my first surfing experience. After receiving a detailed explanation in Japanese, I headed into the ocean, and to my surprise, I was able to ride the waves and had a great time. Since it was Waikiki Beach, it was also convenient to walk there. I will definitely participate again next time.

初サーフィンで、波乗りが出来て超感激です。日本語の説明を詳しく受けた後、いざ海の中へ・・思いの他、波に乗れ楽しい時間でした。ワイキキビーチなので、徒歩での移動も便利でした。次回もまた参加します。

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.

I experienced a surfing lesson. I chose a group lesson, but it felt almost like a private lesson because the instructor was with us the whole time. The lesson was in English, but they used simple language, so I think it would be fine even for those who don't understand English. There was a little mishap with the reservation time, but they responded quickly, which I really appreciated. I think it's a nice service that they take photos and provide them on a CD. By the way, purchasing the CD cost $30.

サーフィンレッスンを体験しました。グループレッスンを選択しましたがほぼプライベートレッスンのように、ずっとつきっきりで教えてくれました。英語でのレッスンでしたが、簡単な英語を使ってくれたので、英語が分からない方でも大丈夫だと思います。予約の時間を間違えてしまうというハプニングがありましたが、すぐに対応してくれてとても有難かったです。写真を撮ってくれ、CDにしてくれるのは良いサービスだと思います。ちなみにCD購入は30ドルかかりました。

Meeting in front of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, also known as the Pink Palace, 30 minutes before the start. (I used it during the dinner buffet with a show last time. To visit again for an activity...) It's very convenient to access, as it's within walking distance from the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center (trolley stop) and hotels in the Waikiki area. Heading to the beach from Kalakaua Avenue through a narrow path with board lockers, I arrived next to the counter.

First, I checked in at the counter. After reading and signing a document with important notes regarding participation, we began the lesson using boards at Waikiki Beach. First, we learned how to balance on the board, including foot and face positioning. Next, we learned paddling (the efficient hand shape), how to go through waves, and how to avoid contact with others. The instructions were very clear, which eased my tension.

Finally, we headed to the sea. First, I got on the board and paddled out. Upon reaching the surfing point, we waited for the waves. When a suitable wave came, the instructor shouted, "Paddle, paddle!" and I paddled vigorously. When I felt I could ride the wave, I quickly grabbed both sides of the board and moved into the riding position. I adjusted my stance to maintain balance and kept my gaze focused on the horizon to stay calm. At first, I was nervous and couldn't move my body as I wanted. Gradually, with the instructor's support, my desire to stand on the board grew stronger, and I managed to ride successfully. If I have another opportunity to surf next time, I hope to be able to take off on my own... I also want to review the CD to pay attention to my riding position, posture, and gaze for my next attempt. The one-hour surfing experience flew by surprisingly quickly, but it was just the right amount of physical activity. After the activity, we had a lunch buffet at the restaurant. Additionally, boards are available for rent, and I plan to surf again at Waikiki Beach later.

This was my first surfing experience, and thanks to the support of all the staff, I was able to enjoy the thrill of standing on the board. Also, I had my riding pose captured with Diamond Head in the background on the CD, creating a wonderful memory. Thank you very much for all your help. I sincerely appreciate it. If there is another opportunity, I look forward to it.

憧れのピンク・パレスことロイヤルハワイアンホテルのビーチ前に開始３０分前集合。（前回ショー付きディナービッフェにて利用。再び、アクティビティにて訪れるとは…。）ロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンター（トロリー停留所）やワイキキエリアホテルから徒歩圏内のため、アクセスも大変便利。カラカウア通りからボードロッカーのある細道をビーチへ向かうとカウンター横に到着。
まずは、カウンターにてチェックイン。参加にあたっての注意事項等書面にて一読後、署名。その後、ワイキキビーチにてボードを使用してレッスン開始。まずは、ボード上でのバランスのとり方、足や顔の向き等々。次に、パドリング（効率の良い手の形）やウェーブスルー、人との接触回避方法も学ぶ。とても解りやすく教えて頂き、緊張感も和らぎました。
いよいよ、海へ。まずは、ボードに乗りパドリングで沖へ出る。波乗りポイントに到着、波を待つ。サーフィンに適した波が来たら、先生の掛け声「こいで、こいで。」とともに、勢い良くパドリング。波に乗れたと感じられたら、瞬時にボードの両脇を持ち、ライディングの工程へ。立ち位置を修正しながらバランスをとり、目線を遠くに向けるなどをしてなるべく持続できるように平常心を保つ。最初は、緊張していたためなかなか思うように体を動かすことができませんでした。徐々に、先生のサポートによりボードに立ちたいという思いが強くなり、なんとかライディング成功。次回サーフィンをする機会がありましたら、一人でテイク・オフができるように…。また、CDを見直してライディング位置や姿勢、目線などに注意をしながら再チャレンジ計画に役立てたいと思いました。１時間程度のサーフィン体験は、驚く程あっという間でしたが体力的にもちょうど良かったです。アクティビティ参加終了後は、レストランにてランチビッフェ。また、ボードはレンタル可能、後日再びワイキキビーチにてサーフィン。
この度は、初めてのサーフィン体験でしたが、お陰様でスタッフの皆様のサポート力でボードに立つ楽しさまでも味わさせて頂きました。また、ダイヤモンド・ヘッドをバックにライディング姿をCDに収めて頂き、素敵な思い出となりました。色々とお世話になり、本当に有難うございました。心より感謝申し上げます。また機会がございましたら、どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

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.

The cruise, which offers stunning views of the beautiful sea changing from emerald green to cobalt blue, as well as Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the water, is fantastic. Additionally, it was very convenient to board from the beach in front of the Sheraton Waikiki Resort Hotel.

リーズナブルな金額でハワイのエメラルドグリーンからコバルトブルーへ変化する美しい海と、海からのワイキキビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺められるクルーズは最高です。
また、シェラトンワイキキリゾートホテル前のビーチから乗船出来るのでとても便利でした。

The people we boarded the boat with were all foreigners, and my husband and I, who don't understand English, felt a bit anxious. However, the staff, who were also foreigners, spoke to us in Japanese, which made us feel at ease!

We went quite high up, but strangely, I didn't feel scared at all. Personally, I enjoyed the view of Diamond Head and the beautiful scenery from up high!

On the way down, we had a little splash in the sea, but it was fun! I recommend bringing a waterproof camera if you want to capture the views from above. We asked the staff to take photos with a DSLR and purchased an SD card with 70-80 photos for $30. It was worth it for the memories!

I definitely want to do this again next time!

一緒に船に乗った方々が、みんな外国の方々で、英語のわからない私たち夫婦は不安がありましたが、スタッフの方は外国の方でしたが、日本語で話してくださり、安心できました！
けっこう高いところまで上がりましたが、不思議と怖さはなく(個人的に)ダイヤモンドヘッドや素敵な景色を高いところから堪能できました！
降りてくるときは海ポチャのおまけつきでしたが、楽しかったです！
上空からの景色をとりたい方は防水カメラを持っていくことをオススメします。
私たちは、スタッフの方々が一眼レフで撮ってくれるのをお願いし、70～80データ入りSDを購入しました。30＄でしたが、思い出になるので購入して満足です！

また、次回も是非やりたいです！

At first, I was scared because I have a fear of heights, but once I started flying, I felt great and it was amazing to have the best view all to myself! I transformed from someone who was just watching from the beach to someone who was flying. This is something you should definitely try!

最初は高所恐怖症なのでビビってましたが、飛び始めたら気分も良く最高の景色を独り占めできた感じがして最高でした！ビーチから見ているだけの自分から飛んだ自分になりました。これはやるべきです！

The parasailing ride is as exciting as advertised. You need to give yourself plenty of extra time as they tend to run at least an hour behind, but it is worth the wait assuming you have the time. We elected to purchase the photo package for $30.00 - well worth the money. We got great photo's to remember the occasion and something to share with friends when we got back. This is a definite must do while in Waikiki.

The one-hour cruise went by in no time.
With a pleasant breeze, we approached Diamond Head, which was the perfect location.
I had a great time relaxing in the beautiful interior of the boat with a beer in hand.
However, while the staff greeted us with smiles, all the explanations were in English, which was a bit disappointing as I didn't understand them well. It would have been nice if the types of drinks were written somewhere in English or if there was a menu.
Still, it was a luxurious cruise.

1時間のクルーズで、あっという間でした。
気持ちのいい風の中、ダイヤモンドヘッドに近づき、最高のロケーションです。
ゆったりときれいな船内で、ビール片手に、いい時間を過ごせました。
ただ、スタッフの方は、笑顔で接してくれましたが説明が全部英語で、よくわからなかったのが残念でした。飲み物の種類が英語表記でもいいので、どこかに書いてあるか、メニュー表があれば、良かったのですが・・・
それでも、贅沢なクルーズでした。

There was a bit of confusion with the transportation, but the activity itself was truly amazing. I felt a little seasick, but the staff helped lift my spirits and made it enjoyable.

送迎に多少のゴタゴタがありましたがアクティビティ自体はホント最高でした。少し船に酔いましたが、スタッフも盛り上げてくれて気分を上げてもらうことができました。
