All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

It was the best sailing experience, enjoying a Mai Tai in hand! Shortly after departure, we were able to see turtles swimming.

This time, I participated with my mother, but it seems like it would be perfectly fine to join alone as well. There were just under 40 people on board, with only two other groups of Japanese participants. Most of the attendees were not Japanese, which added to the overseas atmosphere and made it even more enjoyable. It's completely fine if you don't understand English. Before boarding, we took a group photo, which can be purchased for $20 after disembarking for those who wish to.

You do get quite wet when boarding and disembarking. Those at the front of the boat (the side where you get on and off) got splashed directly by the waves and were pretty soaked. The sun was strong on the boat, but once we set sail, the wind felt really nice. As long as you apply sunscreen properly, sunburn shouldn't be an issue.

The boat does sway quite a bit during the trip, so if you're prone to seasickness, it's definitely a good idea to take some motion sickness medication to ensure you can enjoy the experience. A few people were struggling with seasickness.

It was so much fun and felt great, so I would like to participate in the sunset sailing next time.

マイタイ片手に楽しめる最高のセーリングでした！出航してまもなく亀が泳いでいるのを見ることができました。
今回は母と2人で参加しましたが、1人でも問題なく参加できそうです。
乗船人数は40人弱で他の日本人参加者は2組。日本人じゃない方がほとんどなのも、海外に来ている雰囲気をより味わえて楽しいです。英語はわからなくても全く問題ないです。乗船前にグループごとに記念撮影をし、希望者は下船後に20ドルで購入できます。
船に乗り降りする時に結構濡れます。また船の前方(乗り降りする側)にいた人達は波が直接かかるのでかなり濡れていました。船上は日差しが強いですが、出航してしまえば風がとても気持ち良かったです。日焼け止めをしっかり塗っておけば日焼けも問題なかったです。
船は途中結構揺れるので、船酔いが気になる方は酔い止め薬を飲んでおいた方が確実に楽しめます。何人か船酔いに苦しんでました。
とても楽しくて気持ち良かったので、今度はサンセットセーリングにも参加したいと思います。

The staff, boat, and experience was awesome! The only thing I wish was a bit more clear is the check in time is actually 30 minutes before you load the boat. We walked and had to kill 30 minutes in the heat.

The first time I learned to surf was at Ala Moana, the second time in Lahaina on Maui, and this time I took lessons in Waikiki. There were so many people that I almost collided with others, and since I couldn't avoid them, I had no choice but to jump off my board, which was a bit scary. Well, since this is the birthplace of surfing, I guess it's to be expected. The waves were also higher this time, making it tough for the students. I definitely want to try again.

1回目はアラモアナで、2回目はマウイ島のラハイナ、そして今回はワイキキでサーフィンを習いました。人が多くてぶつかりそうになったり、よけられないからボードから飛び降りるしかないので少し怖かったです。まぁサーフィン発祥の地なので仕方ないかな、波も今回は高めなので、レッスン生にはきつかったです。またリベンジしたいと思います。

I participated with my partner. We traveled out to sea by boat, and the outstanding location for parasailing from there made for a precious moment. I highly recommend it, so definitely give it a try!

彼女と2人で参加しました。
船で沖まで移動して沖からの抜群のロケーションでパラセイリング貴重なひと時になりました。おすすめなので是非参加してみてください。

I tried parasailing for the first time, and the view of the ocean and Oahu was amazing. There isn't much thrill, so I think anyone who isn't afraid of heights can enjoy it. You can leave anything that might get wet on the boat before the flight, which is reassuring. You can buy an SD card with photos for $30. The quality is good, so I recommend it.

パラセールは初めてしたのですが、海とオアフ島が一望できて最高でした。スリルはそれほどないので高所恐怖症でなければ楽しめると思います。
濡れて困るものは船に置いてからフライト出来るので安心です。
30ドルで写真入りのSDカードを買うことができます。画質もよいのでおすすめです。

I experienced a group lesson with 6 people and 2 instructors. The instructors didn't speak Japanese, so the explanations were in English, which some people found a bit difficult to understand. However, they spoke in simple English, so I think it will be fine! It was fun!

グループレッスンで体験しましたが、6名で2人のインストラクターさんでした。
インストラクターさんは、日本語ができない？方だったので、英語での説明だったので、なかなか分からない方もいらしたよです。
簡単な英語で話してくださるので、大丈夫だと思いますよ！楽しかったです！

The weather was great, and the strong wind created the perfect conditions. However, the meeting point was very hard to find, and we wandered around the Sheraton multiple times. Among the participants, we were the only Japanese. The waves were high, and the strong wind splashed water on us, which felt refreshing. It was nice to see the backside of Diamond Head and to spot sea turtles.

天気も良く、風も強く最高のコンディションでした。ただ、集合場所が非常に分かりにくく、何回もシェラトンの周りをウロウロ。参加した人の中に日本人は私たちだけでした。波も高く、風も強く水しぶきがかかり、気持ち良かったです。ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏側が見られ、ウミガメも見られて、良かったです。

The person who picked us up spoke a little Japanese and was polite, which made me feel at ease. When we actually went parasailing, the staff were all locals, but they were very accustomed to Japanese tourists. There were five groups on the boat, including us, so we spent quite a bit of time rocking on the boat, which made me feel quite seasick. My friend was on the verge of throwing up. If you take motion sickness medication properly, it's the best tour where you can enjoy a panoramic view of Waikiki!

送迎の方はやや日本語を話せる方でしたし、丁寧だったので、安心でした。
実際にパラセーリングをする際は完全に現地の方でしたが、みなさん日本人慣れしていました。
私が乗った船には私たち含め、5組がおり、その分船に揺られる時間も多かったので、船酔いは結構きつかったです。友人は吐く寸前でした。
酔い止めをしっかり飲めば、ワイキキを一望できる最高のツアーです！

I boarded the Mai Tai Catamaran with my wife, eldest daughter, and grandchild (2.5 years old). During the approximately one and a half hour cruise, everyone was thrilled with the wonderful scenery, the crew's entertaining talks, and the many splashes of waves. Next time, I hope to enjoy it with the whole family.

Also, the meeting point (registration) can be hard to find, so I recommend checking it in advance.

私、妻、長女、孫（2.5才）を連れてマイタイ・カタマラン号に搭乗しました。
およそ1時間半のクルージングの間、素晴らしい景色とクルーの楽しいトーク、そして多くの波しぶきにみんな大喜びでした。
次回は、家族全員で楽しみたいと思います。

なお、集合場所（受付）が分かりにくいので、事前に確認することをお勧め致します。

- I waited a little before the pickup time, but when the time came, no one showed up. I became worried and called the contact number, but I couldn't get through, so I was left feeling anxious for 30 minutes. They mentioned it was due to traffic, but not being able to reach the contact number is a separate issue.
- I was told, "Since the start was delayed by 30 minutes, the end will also be pushed back by 30 minutes," but in the end, it finished at the original time.
- They have rash guards available for rent, but there are no bottoms, so women who are concerned about that need to prepare their own.

・ピックアップ時間の少し前から待っていたが時間になっても来なかったため、心配になり問い合わせ先へ電話したが繋がらず、ただただ不安なまま30分待たされた。交通事情とのことだったが問い合わせ先と連絡が取れないのは別の問題。
・「開始が30分遅れたから終了も30分ずらす」と言われたが、結果的に終了は元の時間どおりだった。
・ラッシュガード貸出があるが、下は無いため女性で気になる方は自身で準備が必要。

I challenged myself to 150 meters. It was higher than I imagined, and I was scared at first, but once I got used to it, it felt great. I'm glad I decided to go for the full 150 meters instead of a half-hearted height. The staff were friendly and took lots of photos for a fee. The final splash of water was surprisingly fun.

150mに挑戦。想像以上に高く、始めは怖かったけど慣れると気持ちいい。
中途半端な高さにするのではなく150mにチャレンジしてよかった。
スタッフの方のノリも良く、有料だが写真をいっぱいとってくれた。最後にお約束のお水ジャブンが意外と楽しい。

The pickup took quite a while. We waited for 40 minutes, and to be honest, we were worried if it would even come. We only caught one fish, and the fishing gear was quite old, with squid being the only bait available. There were about three people on the same tour with us. There was no instruction on how to fish, so I guess only experienced people could catch anything? But I can only say that the crew's cheerfulness and the location were absolutely fantastic!

送迎はかなり待ちます。
私達は40分待ち、正直来るのか不安でした。
釣果は1匹、、釣り具も年季もの、エサはイカのみです。
同じツアーで連れていたのは3人くらい？でしょうか。
釣り方もレクチャーはないので経験豊かな人しか釣れないのかな？
でもクルーの陽気さとロケーションは最高としか言えません！

I participated first thing in the morning, so the ending time was also in the morning. It was great that there was no wasted time. I've done parasailing a few times, so I chose a height of 150 meters. It was really pleasant and the best experience. It was still a bit chilly in the morning, so after getting splashed in the sea, I felt a little cold. The foreign girl whose birthday it was that day was getting dunked in the water as a special treat, so by the time she returned to the boat, she was shivering (laughs). That must have become a good memory for her too (*^_^*). I’ve definitely decided to participate again next time!

朝一番に参加したので、終了時間も朝^^
時間に無駄がなくてすごく良かったです。
パラセーリングは何度かやっているので、高さは150メートルにしました。
本当に気持ちよくて最高でした。
朝はまだ少し肌寒かったので、海ポチャされた後はちょっと寒かったです。
その日が誕生日だった外国人の女の子は、大サービスで海に沈みまくられていたので、船に戻ったときには震えていました（笑）
それもいい思い出になったことでしょう(*^_^*)
次回もまた参加決定です！！

I had an absolutely amazing time!!! The boat was smaller than I expected, and there were just four groups of Japanese people, which was just right! The waves and wind were thrilling! If you're even a little worried about seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must to enjoy the experience! The staff was really entertaining!

I was nervous before taking off, but once we were in the air, it was so much fun, and the view of the blue ocean, Diamond Head, and Waikiki was incredible!!! I put my smartphone in a waterproof case and hung it around my neck, and I was able to take photos while flying!

When you drop into the water, they probably adjust based on the people. You can purchase the SD card with the photos taken. I paid $30 in cash. This experience was truly the best! I highly recommend it!!!

めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！！！
船は思ってたより小さくて、日本人ばかりの四組でしたが丁度いいくらい！波も風も迫力ありで味わえます！船酔いが少しでも心配な人は楽しむために酔い止めは必須！
スタッフの盛り上げがとてもおもしろい！
飛ぶまでがドキドキでしたが、いざ飛んでみたらめちゃくちゃ楽しくて、青い海とダイヤモンドヘッドにワイキキの景色が最高！！！
スマホを防水ケースに入れて首にかけてましたが、飛んでる間も撮影できました！
海にポチャンはたぶん人をみてして加減してくれます。
写真撮影をしてくれたSDカードが購入できます。30ドルで私はドルで支払いました。
この経験は本当に最高！
ぜひおススメです！！！

I've used this several times!
It's a parasailing tour with some really funky boat captains!
On my last day in Hawaii, I always look down at the city of Waikiki from the sky here and think, "I want to come back next time!"

何度か利用しています！
とてもファンキーな船頭さんたちがいるパラセーリングツアー！
ハワイの最終日は、いつもここで、空からワイキキの街を眺めて、また次回も来よう！と思ってます！

It was my first time surfing, and I was worried about participating alone, especially since I'm not very good at English, but I had a great time. The instructor provided careful guidance in simple English and broken Japanese, and I was able to stand on the board from the very first time. Thank you very much.

サーフィンは初めてなうえ、ひとりでの参加、しかも英語はそんなに得意ではないので参加するまでは心配でしたが、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
インストラクターは簡単な英語とカタコトの日本語で丁寧に指導してくださり、一回目からボードの上に立つことが出来ました。
ありがとうございました。

I participated with my 7-year-old daughter.
It was her first time paragliding.
Since she loves roller coasters, I thought she would enjoy it, so we chose the 120-meter option.

When we took off, she seemed scared and cried! (laughs)
But as she got used to it, she started to enjoy it, albeit nervously. (^_^)

We hadn't planned to buy photos, but we decided to purchase them as a keepsake.
They are provided on an SD card.

7歳の娘と二人で参加しました。
娘は初めてのパラセイリングでした。
ジェットコースター好きなので、喜ぶと思い120メートルを選びました。

いざ、飛び？出すと怖かったようで、泣きました！笑
だんだんなれてくると、ビビりながらも楽しんでました(^_^)

写真は購入予定ではなかったですが、記念にと購入しました。
SDカードで渡されます。

Despite the voucher confirming a pickup at 7:25 AM in front of the hotel, I received a phone call in English just before leaving my room on the morning of the event, stating, "The pickup has been canceled, so you need to get a taxi on your own and come to the meeting point." I also had to cover the taxi fare. The sudden change communicated in English caused me to panic, and with an unstable Wi-Fi connection and no Uber account, I struggled to communicate the meeting location clearly to the taxi driver I managed to flag down in front of the hotel. I got lost in the harbor as well, and the taxi fare ended up being over $20. I felt deceived. The catch was decent, but the fishing gear was quite old and in poor condition, though I was glad to catch something. If it weren't for the last-minute change in transportation, I would have been nearly completely satisfied. I was really disappointed by the abrupt change. I recommend being prepared for self-arrival in case of transportation changes (confirming the meeting location clearly, having taxi fare, and having the Uber app ready) instead of relying solely on the provided transportation.

予約確定後のバウチャーに｢滞在ホテル前で7時25分にピックアップ」と記載されていたにも関わらず、当日の朝、部屋を出る直前に、ホテルの部屋電話に、「ピックアップは無くなったから、自力でタクシーを拾って、集合場所まで来て」という英語での電話を受けた。タクシー代もこちらもち。いきなりの英語での電話による変更で、パニクる上、wifi状態も不安定で、Uberも未登録だったため、ホテル前で待機のタクシーを拾って、その運転手に、集合場所を明確に知らせるのに、とても苦労した。ハーバー内でも、迷って、タクシー代金も20ドル以上した。騙された気分。釣果はまあまあ。釣具はかなりの年季物で傷みがひどいが、釣れたから良し。送迎間際の送迎変更さえなければ、ほぼ大満足。出鼻を挫かれ、ホントにガッカリ。送迎があると安心せず、自力で集合する場合の備え(明確な集合位置確認、タクシー代、Uberアプリ等)をお薦めする。

I visited Hawaii for my wedding and honeymoon. The day before going to Hawaii, I suddenly decided I wanted to participate in this activity, so I thought it would be quicker to check for availability with someone local. As soon as I arrived in Hawaii, I visited the Beltora store there and made a reservation. The staff spoke Japanese, which made the reservation and payment process smooth. The activity itself was a lot of fun! My wife, who usually isn't comfortable with heights, seemed fine even at 150 meters and really enjoyed it.

It seemed that the staff wouldn't take photos unless you asked them. When we went out on the boat and I mentioned it while the other guests were flying, they took out a camera and started taking pictures. In the end, they took about 70 or 80 photos. When we got back, I checked the data on the camera and received it on an SD card. By the way, it cost $30. I'm very satisfied as we made some wonderful memories.

ハワイには挙式とハネムーンで訪問しました。
ハワイに行く前日にこのアクティビティに参加したいと急遽思い立ち、空きの確認等現地の方が早いかなと思って、ハワイに到着してすぐにベルトラさんのハワイの店舗に訪問し予約しました。
対応スタッフの方は日本語も対応していてスムーズに予約と支払い完了。アクティビティ自体もとても楽しかったです(^-^)嫁も高い所は苦手だったけど150mでも大丈夫そうでとても楽しんでいました。
写真の撮影はスタッフに言っておかないとしてくれない様子でした。ボートで沖に出て、他のお客さん飛ばしてる時に言ったら、カメラ取り出して撮り始めてくれました。結果7,80枚くらい写真撮ってくれました。帰ったら一応カメラで中のデータ確認してSDカードで貰いました。ちなみに30ドルでした。とても良い思い出ができて満足です。

The pickup was 10 minutes late, which was expected. Be careful of seasickness on the small boat from near the Hilton to the sea. You can take selfies with your camera, but if you ask for help, it will be charged. The scenery is amazing, but my wife was feeling groggy from seasickness.

ピックアップ１０分遅れ、まぁ想定内。ヒルトン近くから小型船て海へ船酔いするので注意。カメラ持参で自分撮りは可、頼んだら有料。景色は最高、妻は船酔いでグロッキー。

I was worried because there were only foreign customers, but it was totally fine. I had signed up for the 150m jump, so I was a bit anxious about it, but once I actually jumped, it was absolutely amazing.

外国人のお客さんばかりで心配してましたが、全然大丈夫でした。150mに申し込みしてたので内心、大丈夫かなって思っていましたが、いざ飛んでみるとめっちゃ、最高でした。

I experienced the 150m activity. As the title suggests, the activity was very enjoyable. The staff primarily spoke English, but they were very kind and used Japanese when speaking to us.

As for the activity itself, a point to note is that the boat rocked quite a bit, and more than half of the other people on board got seasick, so it's better for those who are prone to motion sickness to take medication beforehand.

The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that the pickup bus was about 15 minutes late. While it seems understandable due to the arrangements for other guests, I had seen stories in experiences where the pickup didn’t show up, which made me quite anxious. However, the driver was friendly, and my overall impression was very good.

150mを体験しました
タイトル通りアクティビティはとても楽しかったです
スタッフの方は基本的に英語ですが自分たちに話しかけるときは日本語を使って下さったりとても親切でした
アクティビティ自体の注意点としては船の揺れが結構激しく乗っていた他の人達が半分以上酔っていたので弱い人は酔止めを飲んで行ったほうがいいです
星を一個下げた理由ですが迎えのバスが15分程遅れて来たことで下げました
他の方の送迎の関係もあり仕方ない気もしますが、体験談で迎えに来なかったという話も見ていましたのでかなり不安になりました
ですが運転手さんも気さくな方で印象はとても良かったです

It was a challenge for a couple celebrating their 60th birthday and their three sons in their 20s. After discussing which height to choose, we decided on the middle option, and the elderly couple felt a bit worried.

The moment we took off, the beautiful sea and blue sky spread out before us, and when we reached the peak, the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head was stunning, making it an unforgettable experience.

Yano, our driver, shared interesting stories that helped ease our nerves. Thank you!

還暦を迎えた夫婦と20代の息子三人での挑戦でした。高さをどれにするか？相談の結果真ん中になり、老夫婦は少し心配でした。
舞い上がった瞬間とても綺麗な海と青空が広がり頂点に達した時は、ワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドがとても綺麗で忘れられない体験となりました。
送迎の矢野さんの話もおもしろく和ませて頂きました。ありがとう

Excellent personal
Being picked up and transported was great
The whole experience was great.

Unfortunately, we didn't catch anything, but the local captain was full of humor, making it a fun memory. There were no safety issues either.

あいにく何も釣れませんでしたが、
現地人の船長がユーモアたっぷりで
楽しい思い出になりました。
安全性も問題ありませんでした。

We had 6 people in our party and we had a blast! We caught 2 awesome waves and even saw a turtle swimming with us!! The crew were both very friendly and made this a memory to last forever!

I was worried about the language barrier, but there were no problems at all. The explanations before the flight were easy to understand, and I had a great time! I also took a lot of photos, so it was enjoyable even after returning home. Thank you very much!

言葉の心配ありましたが全く問題なく、飛ぶ前の説明もわかりやすて凄く楽しめました！写真も沢山撮って頂いてたので帰ってからも2度美味しい。ありがとうございました

Personnel were friendly and helpful. Truly enjoyed interacting with them. They made the experience feel safe, and yet exciting. Our group ranged from eleven to sixty-two and everyone had a wonderful time. Thanks so much!

We participated as a family of three, including my 5-year-old daughter who is 105 cm tall and weighs 15 kg. We chose the highest ride available.

My daughter tends to be a bit afraid of heights; she wanted to ride the Ferris wheel but was nervous and needed to be carried. She also gets scared when she sees the ground while going down the stairs, so I was worried she might cry during the ride, but she was fine.

She had a serious expression the whole time we were flying, but after we got off, she said, "Let's go again!" so it seems she enjoyed it. The boat ride felt like a roller coaster, and she had fun with that too. Normally, she doesn't get car sick, but she did feel nauseous on the plane, so we quickly bought some motion sickness medicine at ABC Store before going.

Overall, it felt like an extremely scenic swing. I think anyone who can handle the swinging rides at amusement parks will be fine!

5歳105cm15kgの娘を含む親子3人で参加しました。高度は一番高いものを選びました。

娘は高所恐怖症気味で、観覧車は乗りたがるけどダッコちゃんだったり、階段も降りるときに階下が見えると怖がったりと、そろそも泣かずに乗ってくれるか不安でしたが大丈夫でした。
飛んでいる最中は終始真顔でしたが、降りたあと「もう一回！」と言ってたので楽しかったようです。
ボートでの移動もジェットコースターみたいで楽しんでいました。普段、車酔いなどはしませんが飛行機で酔ってしまったので、急遽ABCストアで購入した酔い止め飲んでいきました。

感覚としては、超・景色のよいブランコという感じでした。遊園地の吊り下げブランコ風のアトラクションが乗れる方は大丈夫だと思います！

The navigation of the boat on the way there and back is spectacular, and I think it's more interesting as an attraction. Other than when you're flying, it's a battle against seasickness, so good luck!

行き帰りの船の操縦が豪快で、こっちの方がアトラクションとして面白いと思います。
飛んでる間以外は船酔いとの戦いです、頑張って下さい。
