All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

A long time ago when I visited Waikiki, I took a catamaran ride, so I requested it again this time. The boat was sturdier than before, and I think it was quite fast just with the sails. Everyone was cheerful, and it was a fun 90 minutes.

ずいぶん以前にワイキキに来た時に、カタマランに乗船したので、今回も頼みました。
以前より、しっかりした船で、帆だけでもかなりのスピードが出ていたと思います。皆さん陽気で、楽しい90分でした。

This was our second time using the service with my family of three. Unfortunately, it started to rain lightly just as we set sail, and it was cold and windy, so our spirits weren't very high. However, since this is an activity that involves nature, we tried to shift our mindset and enjoy it. The crew was kind, lending out bath towels to protect us from the cold and rain.

今回家族３人で２回目の利用でした。生憎出港と同時に小雨が降り始め風も強く寒い中でのセーリングでしたのでテンションは上がりませんでしたが自然が相手のアクティビティなので気持ちを切り替えて楽しむようにしました。クルーの方は寒さ・雨よけにバスタオルを貸し出し配ってくれたり親切でしたよ。

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。

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.

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！

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。

I unexpectedly got to see a lot of whales. I didn't see this many even during whale watching. The other guests were all foreigners except for us. But we had no trouble at all and had a great time.
Everything was fun, but this cruise was my favorite. I definitely want to ride it again when I come to Hawaii!

思いがけずクジラさんを沢山見ることができました。ホーエルウオッチングでもこんなに見られませんでした。お客さんは私たち以外は外国の方たちでした。でも何一つ困ることもなくとても楽しめました。
全て楽しかったけれど、今回このクルージングが一番気に入りました。ハワイに来たら必ずまた乗りたいです！

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。

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！

For my first time scuba diving, this was a great experience. The instructor, octo, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about diving and had great humour. Overall made the introduction to diving great and am looking forward to my next dive, thanks to Tey Scuba Diving and their amazing instructor, octo.

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

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）

I couldn't tell how many meters we went up, but we ascended rapidly. By the way, I love heights, and we definitely went up quite high! I set it to 90 meters, but I think we probably went even higher. However, the view was amazing and I was really moved. That said, I started to feel seasick. I took motion sickness medication beforehand since I had read reviews, but it didn't help. Motion sickness medication is absolutely essential!

何メートル上がったか分からないくらいグングン上がりました。因みに高いところ好きですが、結構な高さ上がってました！90メートルにしたのですが恐らくそれ以上上がってたとも思います。でも景色はすごく良くて感動しました。ですが、船酔いをしかけました。事前に口コミを見ていたので酔い止めを飲みましたが駄目でした。絶対酔い止め必須！！

It was convenient to be within walking distance from the hotel. I had fun getting interesting photos taken that I couldn't capture myself for $30 (cash price). I booked for 90 meters, but was it more than that? We went quite high up! (^_^)

宿泊先ホテルから徒歩で行ける場所にあって楽でした。
$30(現金価格)で自分では撮れない面白画像も撮影して貰えて楽しかったです。
90mで予約しましたがそれ以上だったのか？かなり高くまで上がってました(^_^;)

I participated with my family of four, and although I had some concerns, I found that even with only English being spoken, a bit of Japanese was understood, and there was a laminated Japanese explanation sheet, so I didn't feel too inconvenienced. The driver for the pick-up was also funny, which made it enjoyable.

Now, onto the main topic: I challenged myself to the 150M. I thought my 7-year-old son might hesitate at the last minute, but he watched the other adult guests being attended to first and seemed to enjoy it, saying he wanted to ride again the next day. They adjust the flight arrangements based on the size of the children, which is great. In the latter half of the flight, you get about half your body submerged in the sea, but if you don't like that, you can go ahead first. However, since the belt gets wet, your swimsuit will also get wet. So let's give up on staying dry and enjoy it to the fullest. You ride the shuttle van to and from in your swimsuit, and it's fine even if you're wet. Just bring a towel instead of a change of clothes. Everyone in Hawaii is very kind to children, so you can feel at ease. The only downside was that the SD card we purchased for the photos was a bit disappointing.

親子4人で参加して少し不安もあったのですが、英語のみとなっていても片言の日本語が通じたり、ラミネートされた日本語説明書があったのでさほど不便は感じませんでした。送迎のドライバーの方も面白くて、楽しかったです。本題ですが150Ｍにチャレンジしました。7歳の息子は土壇場で嫌がるかと思いましたが、他の大人だけのお客様を先にアテンドしその様子を見ていたので楽しめたらしく、翌日も乗りたいと言っていた。子供の体の大きさを見てフライトアレンジをしてくれるので良いです。フライト後半海に体半分くらい浸かるのですが、それが嫌な方は先に行ってくれればＯＫ。ということでしたが、ベルトが濡れているため水着は濡れます。なので諦めて思いっきり楽しみましょう。行きも帰りも水着で送迎バンに乗ります。濡れていても大丈夫。着替えなんて特に持たずにタオルを持って行きましょう。皆さんハワイの方は子供にとてもやさしいです、安心してください。ただ撮影してくれた購入のＳＤは微妙でした。

We participated as a family of five, and my second-grade grandson was very satisfied with the many fish he caught. Most of them were various types of flatfish, but we also caught some juvenile GTs and triggerfish. Additionally, while moving to different fishing spots, dolphins swam under our boat, and we even saw flying fish. I would like to sign up again when we come to Hawaii.

家族5人で参加して小２の孫もいっぱい釣って満足していました。ほとんどカワハギの種類多数でしたが、GTの子供やハリセンボンも釣れていました。それに釣り場の移動中にイルカが船の下を通ったり、トビウオにもお目にかかりました。またハワイに来たときは申し込みたいです。

We set off in the morning with a downpour, feeling anxious. The weather quickly improved, and my son went fishing for the first time. He caught three fish and seemed to have a great time! He wants to do it again! I also got to drive from the captain's seat, which was a wonderful experience!

朝からスコールで不安の中出発
すぐ天気が良くなり
息子は初めての釣りだったのですが
3匹も釣れて楽しそうでした！
またやりたいです！
船長席で運転もさせていただき
とてもいい経験になりました！

The instructor was very dedicated in assisting us. There was a simple explanation at the beginning on how to do it, so you can participate with peace of mind.

インストラクターのお姉さんが一生懸命アシストしてくれました。
始めにどうやるのか簡単な説明もあり安心して参加出来ますよ。
