We participated as a group of ten on our last day in Hawaii. The tour was conducted efficiently, with no wasted time, and it was very enjoyable. I would like to participate again.

ハワイ最終日に10名で参加しました。手際よくツアーが進み、無駄な時間もなく、とてもよかったです。また参加したいと思います。

My 10-year-old daughter and I tried 150m of parasailing together. It was as high as a flying helicopter! There was hardly any swaying from the wind, and it felt more stable than being on a boat. My daughter is fine with heights, so she was able to let go with one hand and move her feet comfortably. The view was, of course, amazing! You can see Waikiki, Diamond Head, and all the way to Waianae clearly.

There were four groups on the boat from various countries, and it had a friendly atmosphere where we took pictures of each other while flying. The crew also spoke Japanese and provided explanations, which was reassuring.

By the way, if you go on the 8 AM trip, you'll be back on land by a little after 9 AM, making good use of your day! ^_^

10歳の娘と２人で150mのパラセーリングに挑戦しました。飛んでいるヘリコプターと変わらないくらいに高かったです！風で揺れることはほとんどなく、ボートに乗っているよりも安定した状態です。娘は高いところも大丈夫なので、片手を離したり足を動かしたり余裕がありました。景色はもちろん最高です！ワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイアナエの方までしっかり見えます。
ボート内は多国籍で4組乗っており、お互いの飛んでいる最中の写真をお願いして撮り合うなど、フレンドリーな雰囲気でした。
クルーの方も日本語で、説明もしてくれるので安心です。
因みに8時の回で行くと、9時過ぎには陸に戻ってきて、1日が有効に使えます^_^

We participated with our kids! The staff was friendly, and it was a very enjoyable hour. We joined as a family of four at 8 AM (the kids are in fourth and second grade), and we made good use of the morning! We set off in our swimsuits, and if it's cold, it's fine to wear a hoodie or something over them. Photos are available for $30, but you might also ask other guests on the boat to take pictures with your smartphone.

We met at the location by rental car, and since the boarding area is closest to Waikiki, I think it's best to park all the way at the back if you need to use the parking lot.

子連れで参加しました！スタッフの方も気さくでとても楽しい1時間でした^_^朝8時から家族4人で参加(子どもは四年生と二年生)、朝の時間を有効的に使えました！水着着用で出発、寒ければパーカーなどを着たままでも大丈夫です。写真は30ドルで撮ってくれますが、一緒に船に乗ってる他のお客さんにスマホで撮って貰ってもいいかも。
レンタカーで現地集合しましたが、乗船場が最もワイキキよりなので駐車場に停める場合は1番奥に停めるのが良いと思います。

The weather was wonderful, making it a perfect day. I was torn between a dinner cruise and a luau show, but choosing the luau show was definitely the right decision. There were families present, so I felt comfortable enjoying it! The dynamic fire show and the beautiful hula were both fantastic. I even got to participate in the show with the dancers... The buffet-style meal, where you can choose what you like, was also great. Everyone who participated was very happy, and I was extremely satisfied!

お天気にも恵まれ、最高の日になりました。
ディナークルーズかルアウショーか迷いましたが
ルアウッショーを選んで大正解でした。
家族連れの方もいたので安心して楽しめました！
ダイナミックなファイアーショー、
しっとりとしたフラもあり、とても素敵でした。
ダンサーさんに連れられてショーにも参加したり。。。
食事もブッフェでお好みで選べるのも良いです。
参加者全員がとても喜んでくれて超満足です！

Everyone in my family experienced this for the first time, and they said it was the most fun part of the trip. It was beyond my imagination, and even for someone with a severe fear of heights like me, it was fine!

家族全員が初めて体験しましたが、この旅行でいちばん楽しかったと言ってました。想像以上でした、超高所恐怖症の私でも大丈夫でした！

This was a three-generation trip with ages ranging from 6 to 69 years old. We boarded a catamaran and were very satisfied! The scenery was amazing, and we even saw sea turtles. There were restrooms available (though we didn't use them), which made us feel secure during the ride. Along the way, those in swimsuits could swim in the sea. ^_^

下は6歳〜年長者は69歳の3世代の旅。
カタマラン乗船し、とっても満足しました！
景色は最高、ウミガメも見れました。
お手洗いもあり(使用してませんが)、安心して乗れました。
途中、水着の方は海で泳ぐごとができます^_^

Both the driver and the other staff were very kind. I would like to use their services again next time.

ドライバーの方もほかのスタッフの方も、とても親切にしていただきました。
また次回も利用したいと思います。

It was English-only, but the driver was bright and cheerful, making the journey enjoyable until the end. When we boarded the bus, they also confirmed the airline, which made me feel at ease.

英語オンリーでしたが、明るく陽気なドライバーさんで旅の最後まで楽しめました。バスに乗り込むときも、航空会社も確認してくれて、安心しました。

Since we were there, we decided to go for the highest option, participating at 150m, and it was absolutely the right choice! The kids were not scared at all; in fact, they were thrilled!

せっかくなので、1番高いのが良いと、150mでの参加でしたが、大正解‼︎
子供も怖がるどころか大喜びでした。

I stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, and it was about a 6-minute walk to the meeting point. I got a little lost, so I would have appreciated a more detailed map of the meeting location. Other than that, it was incredibly fun! The thrill, the view from the heights, and the sea turtle we encountered by chance—everything was enjoyable! My middle school son, who was a bit scared, and my 18-year-old daughter both said they really had a great time once it was over! They were so excited and said they want to do it again!

ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ、アリータワーに宿泊していたので、集合場所まで徒歩6分位でした。
少し迷ったので、もう少し詳しい集合場所の地図があれば嬉しかったです。
それ以外は、最高に楽しかった！
スピード感、高所からの景色、偶然遭遇したウミガメ、何もかも楽しかった！
少し怖がっていた中学生の息子、18の娘も、終わってみたら本当に楽しかった！またやりたい！と、大興奮でした！

It was very pleasant and the few minutes went by in no time!!!

Even 150 meters would have been good! The kids really enjoyed it. Although they met the age requirement, many places don’t allow lighter-weight children to participate, but here, even a 20-kilogram child could experience it, which became a great memory!!

I think tipping is a matter of feeling. So we did tip, but the other four Japanese groups didn’t, which was a learning experience for me.

********************

I have nothing bad to say about Veltra, but I’d like to add a comment.

I ordered photos on the boat. I was looking forward to seeing them. I was surprised to find that among about 60 photos, there were only a few of us looking like little beans, and the rest were of the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head. Moreover, there was a photo of the captain eating snacks. I felt like I wanted to angrily comment, “Is this for my Instagram??” It’s too regrettable that I paid $30 for that. It’s a useless 512MB SD card...

I do not recommend ordering photos. Really.

I wish they would at least let us check before buying.

とても気持ちよくて あっという間の数分間でしたー！！！

150メートルにしても良かったかな！というぐらい 子どもたちも楽しんでました。
年齢はクリアしていても体重が軽いと言うことです乗れない所が多い中、こちらは20キロの子どもでも体験できていい思い出になりました！！

チップは気持ちだと思います。なので 私達は入れましたが、他の日本人グループは4組ともせずにいたので 難しいものだなーと勉強になりました。

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

ベルトラさんは一つも悪くありませんが
一言追加で添えておきます。

船上で写真をオーダーしました。
出来上がりが楽しみでした。
驚きました
60枚ほどの写真に、豆のような私たちが数枚写っていて、あとはワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドなど。
さらには、スナック菓子を食べているキャプテンの写真。
自分のインスタにあげる写真ですか？？と怒りのツッコミをしたくなるほど。
あれに30ドルを払ったなんて悔しすぎます。
使い前もない512MBのSDカードです、、、。

写真オーダーはお勧めしません。本当に

せめて、確認してから買うスタイルを取らせてくれたら良いのに。

Since it was my first time, I challenged myself to the 90m jump. I teamed up with two children in elementary school and one adult to match our weights. The crew was very entertaining and considerate of the nervous children. Next time, I want to try a higher jump.

初めてということもあり、90mに挑戦しました。小学低学年の子ども二人と大人一人で体重を合わせました。クルーの方も大変おもしろく、緊張する子どもにも配慮してくれました。
今度はもう少し高いのに挑戦したいです。

The entire family had a great time feeding the fish and spotting sea turtles.

This was our second time on the cruise, as my child really enjoyed it the first time. The waves are bigger in winter, which might make it more fun with the rocking motion. For those who prefer a calm cruise, summer is recommended. Since you're out on the sea, you can get quite sunburned. I recommend taking extra precautions against sunburn, even more than when you're at the beach. We also saw turtles and dolphins, which excited both the adults and the kids.

以前乗船し、子供が気に入っていたので、2回目の乗船でした。
波が大きい冬場の方が揺れがあって楽しいかもしれません。
穏やかなクルーズを希望する方は夏場がオススメです。
海の上なので、かなり日焼けします。日焼けしたくない方は、ビーチに居る時以上にしっかり日焼け対策をすることをお勧めします。
亀やイルカも見られて、大人も子供も大興奮でした。

Unfortunately, the water was murky, and it didn't feel like a very beautiful underwater walk. (I think it depends on the season...) Also, the inside of the submarine was very cold, and the seats were chilly, so I was desperately trying to endure the cold in the second half. (It's essential to bring warm clothing.) I had gone to the restroom before getting on the submarine, but my child got really cold, and in the end, it turned into a "I need to go to the restroom!" situation, which made me anxious.

残念ながら水が濁っていて、あまりキレイな海中散歩という感じではありませんでした。（時期にもよると思いますが・・・）
また潜水艦の中がとても寒くて、シートも冷え冷えなので、後半は寒さに耐えるのに必死・・・。（防寒着持参必須です。）
潜水艦に乗る前にトイレを済ませていたけれど、子供が冷え切って、最後はトイレ～～～～という感じになってしまい、ハラハラしました。

It's an average shuttle service, neither good nor bad. There's a counter very close to the group exit, so it's easy to find.

可もなく不可もなく普通の送迎です。
団体出口のすぐ近くにカウンターが有るので、探すのは楽です。

It was my first time surfing, and the instructor was from overseas and could speak a little Japanese, but he was a cheerful person and it was fun! (laughs)

サーフィンは初めてで、インストラクターも海外の方で少し日本語が話せる程度でしたが陽気な方で楽しかったです（笑）

The view from a height of 150 meters is breathtaking. I was surprised by the quiet atmosphere. My family of four participated, and we were very satisfied.

150ｍの高さから見る景色は絶景です。
静かな空間にびっくりでした。
家族４人で参加しましたが、大満足でした。

Starting from Waikiki Beach, it's convenient if you're staying in Waikiki. You don't need to wake up particularly early.

When I participated in the dolphin tour, the meeting time was early in the morning, which was tough, and the dolphins just zipped by, so it didn't feel like swimming with them. In contrast, the sea turtles swam leisurely close by, which was very soothing. There were also plenty of fish swimming around.

I can't swim in deep water where my feet don't touch the bottom, but they provide something like a life vest, so I just float along.

I went with elementary and preschool children, and although we repeated the experience, they seemed scared of jumping into the sea, so we quickly retreated from snorkeling. Still, the experience of cutting through the wind off Waikiki on the catamaran was priceless.

出発がワイキキビーチなので、ワイキキ滞在であれば便利です。特別早起きする必要もないし。

イルカツアーに参加した時は集合時間が早朝で辛かったし、イルカはビュンビュン通過してしまうのでいっしょに泳ぐという感じではありませんでした。その点、ウミガメさんはゆったりと間近で泳いでくれて癒し度が高い。魚もいっぱい泳いでました。

私は足のつかない深さのところは泳げませんが、救命ベスト(？)のようなのをつけるのでぷかーっと浮きます。

小学生と幼稚園の子供と行きましたが、リピートですが、海にドボンが怖いようで、シュノーケリングは早々に退散。それでもカタマラン号でワイキキ沖の風を切る体験はプライスレスかと。

It was incredibly fun! The breeze felt nice, and the scenery was beautifully stunning. For $30, you can have a professional camera take beautiful photos, and you'll receive about 70 digital images. It's also possible to collaborate with other participants to take videos, so I definitely recommend working together with everyone.

めちゃくちゃ楽しいの一言に尽きます！
風も気持ちよく、景色も最高に綺麗でした♪
30＄払えば一眼レフで綺麗な写真を撮ってくれ、データで70枚程度いただけます。
ほかの参加者と協力して、動画を取り合うことも可能なので是非皆さんで協力するのをおススメします。

This is a unique experience, so I signed up for the 150m option. The shuttle was a bit late, which made me anxious, but they arrived properly. The driver also apologized. In the early morning time slot, I was with a Japanese newlywed couple and an American family. The weather was nice, so it felt really good! There were moments when I felt a sudden drop, but that was part of the fun. The flight time was just a few minutes, but I enjoyed it enough. I wasn't asked about getting wet, so I ended up soaked up to my waist. If you don't want to get wet, it seems you need to mention it before flying. I took the photos myself, and I asked the Japanese person for some shots from below. We tipped $10 for the two of us. The boat sways a bit. Since it was early in the morning, I participated without having breakfast, and I felt a bit nauseous later on. I should have eaten something. (For some people, eating might make them feel more nauseous...)

なかなかできる体験ではないので150mで申し込みしました。
送迎は少し遅れてドキドキしましたが、ちゃんと来てもらえました笑。ドライバーさんも謝っていました。朝一の時間帯で日本人の新婚ご夫婦と米国のファミリーと一緒でした。
天気もよかったのでとても気持ちがいいです！たまにガクンと降下する感じがしましたがそれもまた一興です。飛行時間は数分ですが十分楽しめました。海ポチャについては何も聞かれなかったので腰まで濡れました。嫌な方は飛ぶ前に申し出る必要がありそうです。
写真は自分で撮りました。下からの写真は日本人の方にお願いしました。チップは2人で10ドルお支払いしました。
ボートは少し揺れます。朝早かったので朝食を食べずに参加したのですが後半少し酔った感じがしました。何か食べておけばよかったです。(人によっては食べた方が酔ってしまうかもしれません…)

Our driver was prompt and very friendly. The hike itself was not as touristy as Diamond Head and very beautiful.

I booked the highest one at 150m! Since I made a reservation for the early morning, there were only two other groups participating, so there was no waiting time while flying, which was stress-free. And when I thought it might be scary, it actually felt great, and the view was amazing. I felt a sense of superiority looking at the streets of Hawaii from the sky while basking in the morning sun (laughs). You have to wake up early, but I highly recommend the early morning slot!

一番高い150mを予約しました！
朝イチの予約にしていたので
一緒に参加したのも二組だけで
飛んでる間の待ち時間がなくストレスがなかったです♫
そして怖いかなと思ったら気持ちよくて
景色も最高で朝日を浴びながら
空から眺めるハワイの街に優越感を感じました（笑）
早起きしないとですが朝イチがオススメです♫

Oahu's taxi fares can be high, especially with tips included, so I was very grateful to be able to use this service. Thank you!

オアフはタクシーですとチップもいれると料金が高いので、こちらを利用できて大変助かりました。ありがとうございました！

After arriving at the airport and collecting my luggage, I found a counter in front of the exit. When I provided my name, I was told to wait for a moment in a chair, but I was soon guided to the car. Since we stopped by other hotels, it took a bit longer compared to a taxi, but it was much cheaper, so I recommend it if you're not in a hurry.

空港到着後、手荷物を受けとったら出口前にカウンターがあったので名前を伝えたら少し椅子で待っててと伝えられましたが程なく車へ案内されました。他のホテルを経由するのでタクシーに比べると少し時間はかかりましたが、その分格安なので急ぎでない場合はおすすめです。

It was stable as we ascended, and there was no fear at all. My 70-year-old parents also experienced it and loved it. I think the middle height is sufficient. In the latter half, it can be a bit dizzying, so taking motion sickness medication beforehand would help you enjoy it throughout!

安定した状態で上空に上がり、怖さもなかった。70歳の両親も体験して良かったと大好評。真ん中の高さで十分だと思う。後半は、少し酔うので酔い止めを飲んでおくと終始楽しめると思う！

I participated in a tour that started at 10 AM with a Japanese-speaking guide. The guide spoke somewhat difficult-to-understand Japanese, possibly because they were of Japanese descent, but their witty and lively talk made it really enjoyable. I was able to see the submarine submerging into the ocean and then emerging from it, so I captured some great videos. We encountered turtles twice underwater, but they moved away quickly, so I couldn't get them on camera. It might be better to keep filming continuously. The kids were also very satisfied with the experience of riding a submarine, which they can't do in Japan.

日本語ガイドのある10時からのツアーに参加しました。ガイドさんは日系人なのか、やや聴き取りづらい日本語でしたが、ウィットに富んだ軽快なトークで凄く楽しめました。潜水艦が海中に沈むところや海中から現れるところも見れたのでバッチリ動画に収めました。海中ではカメに２回遭遇しましたが、あっという間に移動していきカメラには撮れませんでした。動画で撮影し続けた方が良いかもしれません。日本では体験出来ない潜水艦乗船に子供達も大満足でした。

Good trip and having funs, beautiful views and the water was so clear that you can see the bottom

We participated in parasailing as a family. It was great that transportation was included, so we could join right from the hotel in our swimsuits. The captains were very cheerful and accommodating, which was nice. We were lucky enough to see a whale, and we were very satisfied! ^_^

家族でパラセーリングに参加しました。送迎も付いているのでホテルから水着のままでも参加出来てとても良かったです。キャプテン達もとても陽気で気軽に対応してくれるし良かったです。運良くクジラも見れて大満足でした^_^

I was sitting right at the front by the net and got completely soaked from the splashes! But that's a good memory. If you don't want to get wet, I think it's better to sit further back (^ - ^) I wanted to see dolphins and whales, but it might be better to join a dedicated tour for that.

一番前のネットの脇に座っていましたら、しぶきでずぶ濡れになりました！
それもいい思い出です。
濡れたくなかったら、奥に座ればいいと思います(^-^)
イルカとクジラに会いたかったけど、それには専用のツアーがいいかもしれません。
