It was my second experience following last year, and it was amazing! The view of Diamond Head, the enthusiastic staff, and the refreshing feeling of riding the waves! I want to go again next year! ♡♡♡

去年に続き２回目の体験でしたが、最高でした！
ダイヤモンドヘッドを望む景色とスタッフの盛り上げと波に乗った爽快感！
来年も行きた～い♡♡♡

When you arrive at Honolulu Airport, go left and head to the counter on the right from the group exit. When you say your name, they will guide you to the boarding area. The lady who assisted us spoke Japanese. The driver and others only spoke English, but they were cheerful and provided local information while taking us. Since we were going to the Ala Moana Hotel, we were the first drop-off on the way there and the last pick-up on the way back, which was efficient. As mentioned in reviews, they don't stop at more than five hotels, and indeed, there were only about three or four other groups. It takes about 20 minutes to get there, which is helpful.

ホノルル空港に着いたら左、団体出口から出て右のカウンターに向かいます。名前を言うと乗り場まで案内してくれます。この案内係のおばちゃんは日本語が話せました。ドライバー含め、他の方たちは英語のみ。でも陽気で現地の案内などもしてくれながら送ってくれます。アラモアナホテルだったので、行きは1番目、帰りは最後のお迎えだったようで時間の無駄なく良かったです。5つ以上のホテルには寄らないという口コミもありましたように、たしかに他には3.4組しか乗ってませんでした。20分くらいで着くので助かります。

My son wasn't feeling well, so we had to cancel the planned morning parasailing. However, he started to recover a bit in the afternoon, and when I contacted Veltra to check for availability, they also reached out to other companies, and we were able to go parasailing!

I heard that it was very quiet up in the air, and we had a great view of Diamond Head.

Despite feeling a bit unwell, my son was able to fly, and it seemed like he had a lot of fun.

Honestly, I was worried about the weight difference between my husband, who is nearly 90 kg, and my son, who weighs only about 20 kg, thinking it might be difficult to balance and that they might not be able to fly. But those worries were unnecessary.

Unfortunately, I couldn't participate because I have an 8-month-old daughter, but if I have the chance to go again, I definitely want to join!

I purchased the photos for 30, but unfortunately, they were backlit.

息子の体調が優れず、予定していた朝のパラセーリングが出来ずキャンセルしました。
午後からやや回復してきたため、ベルトラさんに空きがないか連絡すると、他の会社も当たってくださり、パラセーリング出来ました‼️

上空はとても静かで、ダイアモンドヘッドも一望できとても、良かったと話を聞きました。

息子もきついながらに飛ぶことができ、とても楽しかったようです。

正直、90kg近い主人と20kg程しかない息子の体重の差があり、バランスとるのが大変で、飛べないのでは？と心配してましたが、そんな心配は要りませんでした。

8ヶ月の娘がいたため、残念ながら私は参加できませんでしたが、次、行く機会があれば絶対参加したいです‼️

写真30で購入しましたが、残念ながら逆光でした。

The pickup time is set in advance to match the return flight schedule, and they always arrive right on time, which is reassuring. When I arrive at the airport, they drop me off according to the airline, so I can go straight to the check-in counter without getting lost, which is really helpful.

帰りのフライトの時間に合わせて、事前にピックアップタイムが決められるのですが、いつも時間ピッタリに迎えに来てくれるので安心です。
空港に到着した時も、エアライン別にドロップオフして貰え、チェックインカウンターに迷う事なく行けて本当に助かります。

I use this service every time I visit Hawaii. The reason is that I can contact them immediately after exiting the gate post-immigration, and there is almost no waiting time for departure. They also handle the heavy lifting of my luggage, and the car is parked right at the hotel entrance. It's perfect!

毎回ハワイを訪れた際に利用しています。
なぜなら、イミグレ後にゲート出てすぐにコンタクト出来て、待ち時間も殆どなく出発、へビーな荷物の上げ下ろしもして貰えて、車もホテルエントランスに横付け。
パーフェクトです！

The driver spoke a little Japanese, so we had a fun conversation mixing that with my broken English. It was great that he also recommended some good restaurants.

運転手さんが少し日本語喋れる方で、こちらの片言英語と交えて楽しく会話しながら送っていただきました。オススメのご飯屋さんも教えてもらえたので良かったです。

I was guided without much waiting. If the hotel is far from the airport, it might take some time, but I think it's convenient if you're staying at Ala Moana or HHV since it's almost a direct route.

あまり待たずに案内してもらえました。空港から遠いホテルだと時間がかかりそうですが、アラモアナやHHVに泊まるならほとんど直行なので便利だと思います。

Such a beautiful weather! The green color of the ocean and the blue skies doesn't lie! Thanks to the friendly crew of Mana Kai Catamaran for making this such a wonderful experience! The whole gang at my work decided to take this trip together and it was truly a great way for us to loosen up after a stressful week!

For only $31 per person, you'll enjoy a fun ride, sip on your favorite drink (BYOB), or snacks, listen to good music, and feeling the breezy tradewinds while watching the gorgeous scenic view of Waikiki! Ahhhh..mazing! I would go again for sure!

It was sunny and clear, perfect weather to go sailing! We had lunch before departing so we brought light appetizers & drinks on board. The only "table" was the top of the storage box. Luckily, we didn't bring anything too large with us so it wasn't too bad.

The ocean was beautiful even though the waves can get pretty rough. Highly recommend taking motion sickness medicine before going out. It made the experience so much more enjoyable without worrying about my stomach.

Captain Johnny & his crew were great! Very friendly and funny. It was like a bunch of friends hanging out on a sail. I didn't even care that I got splashed by the waves. You guys are the best, can't wait to go again!

Despite the impact of the hurricane causing some changes to our reservations, we managed to enjoy our stay and go on the ride.

The crew spoke a little Japanese, and my daughter had a great time. The photos are $30, but since there are many, it's definitely worth buying. The group of four we rode with paid $40, so it might be a good deal.

The only downside was the weather, which wasn't great.

ハリケーンの影響で予約が流れたりしながらもなんとか滞在中に乗れました。

クルーは日本語も少し話してくれるし娘も楽しんでました。写真は30ドルですが枚数が多いので是非買いです。同乗した四人組は40ドルだったのでお得かも。

天気がいまいちだったのだけが残念です。

I used this service last year as well, and it was the same driver and boat crew! Last year I got seasick, but this time I skipped breakfast and took strong motion sickness medication, so I was perfectly fine! On the way back, thanks to the driver's kindness, we stopped by the filming location of Hawaii Five-0 and he dropped us off at Rainbow Drive-In.

去年も利用しましたが、同じドライバーと船のクルーでした！
去年は船酔いしましたが、今回はきちんと朝ごはん抜きで、強い酔い止めを飲んだのでバッチリでした！
帰りにドライバーの好意で、ハワイファイブオーの撮影現場に経由でレインボードライブインで下ろしてくれました。

This was a really fun sail. We ordered pizza and brought it on board with drinks, though since it was an afternoon sail we had most of our lunch before departing. Bench seating with no tables, so we had to improvise. Finger foods that are easy to eat and not very messy are ideal to bring on, as are cans and bottles for drinks.

It's really cool and windy out on the water, so it can get rough if the boat goes near Diamond Head where the water isn't protected from the waves. That said, if you're willing to get wet it's a lot of fun sitting on the netting and getting splashed!

I enjoyed parasailing with a bit of fear. I had a great experience with a panoramic view of Waikiki, Hawaii. If you go to Hawaii, you should definitely try at least one marine sport. It really feels very American.

恐る恐るパラセーリングを楽しみました。
ハワイ・ワイキキが一望できて、良い経験をしました。
ハワイに行ったなら、何かマリンスポーツを1つぐらい経験すべきですね。
やはり、アメリカチックです。

Since we were there, we decided to challenge ourselves with the 150m jump. We participated as a group of six. One of us had a fear of heights, but once we were up in the air, the grandeur of the scenery seemed to impress them, and they were fine. We requested a water landing, and it was very gentle as we touched down on the water, which was a lot of fun.

せっかくなら、と150ｍにチャレンジ。６名で参加しました。中には高所恐怖症の人がいたのですが、上空に上がってしまうと、景色の壮大さに感激して、大丈夫だったようです。水上着水リクエストしましたが、とてもおだやかに水面に着いていただいて、楽しかったです。

At first, I was looking for a Polynesian show, so I felt a bit of a disconnect with shows like those featuring Presley, but the timing and location were very good, so our family of four participated. The show had a well-thought-out structure that didn't feel out of place, and the content was engaging from one act to the next, never boring. What stood out the most was the performers' genuine desire to entertain the audience. The food was also delicious. During the meal, the performers kept us entertained with their singing and dancing, which was great. We all had a wonderful time together as a family on this trip.

初めはポリネシアンショーで探してましたので、プレスリー等のショーも有り少し違和感が有りましたが、時間、立地等はとても良いので家族4名で参加しました。ショーは違和感がなく良く考えられた構成、ショーは次から次と全く飽きない内容でした。一番は出演者の皆さんがお客さんを楽しませる気持ちが伝わってきました。食事も美味しかったです。食事中も出演者の方々の飽きさせない歌、踊りも有り良いです。今回の旅行での楽しい時間が家族全員で過ごせました。

I had a great time enjoying plenty of singing and dancing. Each dancer was dedicated, and it was moving. It exceeded my expectations, and I want to go again!

歌とダンスたっぷり楽しめて大満足でした。
ダンサー、一人一人が一生懸命で感動しました。
期待していた以上で、また行きたいと思います!

We booked a Hawaiian show at the request of my elderly father, who wanted to see it during our three-generation family trip, thinking that the young grandchildren would enjoy it as well. We chose the buffet course, so the food was just okay, and the timing felt a bit rushed, but we enjoyed interacting with the dancers.

The show that followed, after moving to the audience seating, was fantastic. From the second floor, we had a great view of the stage, and the children, who had been dozing off before it started, were completely captivated once the show began. They enjoyed the high-level dancing and singing throughout. We were very satisfied with the well-structured performance.

三世代家族旅行で、ハワイアンショーが観たいと言う高齢の父の希望で、これなら若い孫たちもそこそこ楽しめるかなと予約しました。
バイキングのコースにしたので、食事はこんなものかなという程度で、時間も慌ただしかったですが、ダンサーさん達とのやり取りを楽しめました。
その後の客席に移動してのショーは最高でした。
２階席からはステージがとても良く見え、始まるまでウトウトしていた子ども達も、ショーが始まってからはステージに釘付けで、レベルの高いダンスに歌にと終始楽しめました。
とても良く構成されたパフォーマンスに大満足でした。

We participated as a family of four, and since it was our first time parasailing, we had a lot of fun. However, on the day of the event, we paid an additional fee of $47 to have our experience photographed. Since we were going in pairs (2 pairs), it was a good deal for families (it might have included a tip). After returning home, when we checked the SD card with the photos, we found that there was data for only one pair. Additionally, the photos were very blurry... It’s disappointing, even if it’s not within VELTRA's responsibility.

家族4人で参加させてもらい、パラセーリング自体は初めてだったので楽しませてもらえました。
ただ当日別料金でその様子を写真に撮ってもらえる。2人づつ体験（2ペア）するので家族の場合はお得ですと別料金で47ドル支払いました。（チップ込みだったかもしれません）
帰国後、撮影してもらったSDカードを確認したところ、1ペア分のデータしか入っていませんでした。また、写真のブレが凄かったです…
VELTRAさんの責任の範囲ではないと言われてしまえばそれまでですが、残念でした。

Choosing a nearby hotel with shuttle service made it very convenient and relaxing, as I didn't have to worry about transportation to the parasailing location. Once we arrived at the harbor, they quickly directed me to my boat, which was efficient.

You can enjoy both the beautiful ocean of Hawaii and the views of Diamond Head and the mainland all at once. Additionally, since you ascend to quite a height, it was incredibly refreshing! I found that there was less swaying than I expected, and it was stable, so I think you can enjoy it without feeling much fear.

最寄のホテルを選んで送迎が付いているので、パラセーリングを行う場所までの移動は特に気にしないで良く、大変便利で気楽でした。ハーバーに着いてからも、素早く自分が乗るボートを指示してくれ、要領が良かったです。
ハワイの綺麗な海とダイヤモンドヘッド等の大陸の景色を両方いっぺんに楽しむことが出来ます。また、かなりの高さまで上がるので、とっても爽快でした！
思ったより揺れは少なく、安定していたので恐怖感はあまり感じることなく楽しめると思います。

I participated with my son and daughter! There seemed to be various tours available, but I decided on this Hawaiian Parasail because it lasts two hours including transportation, and it's close to Waikiki, making it easier for us to plan our activities afterward. Besides us Japanese, there were three groups of foreigners, totaling nine people, who set off together. Perhaps because we took motion sickness medication, the boat's rocking wasn't a problem at all. The staff were cheerful and friendly, making jokes to ease our tension and keep us laughing. The 150-meter parasail was breathtaking! We could see everything from Diamond Head to Waikiki, and the view was truly amazing. My son took his smartphone in a waterproof case and hung it around his neck to capture the view from above, creating precious videos that became treasures for us. Of course, we also purchased an SD card. For $30, we got over 80 photos. Thinking that it might be the last time I fly together with my college-aged son and high school daughter made this time incredibly precious. I really felt grateful to be able to try this in the open and liberating atmosphere of Hawaii. Thank you very much to the staff of Hawaiian Parasail!

息子、娘と3人で参加しました！
いろいろなツアーがあるようで迷いましたが、こちらのハワイアンパラセイルは送迎含めて2時間で終了とのこと、場所もワイキキに近いのでその後の行動がとりやすいだろうと思い申しみました。日本人の私達の他に外国人のグループが3組、9人で出発しました。酔い止めをしっかり飲んだからかボートの揺れは問題なかったです。スタッフが明るく気さくで私達の緊張をほぐしてくれるかのように冗談を言って笑わせてくれました。150ｍのパラセイルは圧巻！ダイヤモンドヘッドからワイキキから総て見渡せて本当に素晴らしい景色でした。息子が防水ケースにいれたスマホを首から下げて上空からの眺めを撮影してくれ貴重な動画が宝物になりました。もちろんSDカードも購入しましたよ。30＄で80枚以上の写真がおさまっていました。
大学生の息子と高校生の娘と親子一緒に飛ぶことはもうないのかなと思うととてもとても貴重な時間でした。ハワイという開放感たっぷりの地で気持ちもおおらかに元気にトライすることができて本当に良かったと思います。ハワイアンパラセイルのスタッフの方々どうもありがとうございました。

Our family of five had our three children's first parasailing experience! A hurricane was approaching, and the wind was occasionally strong, making it an exhilarating experience that had everyone excited. It was early in the morning, but both the start and finish were on schedule, without the typical Hawaiian laid-back timing, which was great as it didn't interfere with our subsequent plans.

家族5人で、3人の子供たちの初パラセーリング！
ハリケーンが接近中で風が時折強く吹き、スリル満点の体験でみんな大興奮でした。
朝一でしたがスタートも終わりも予定時間通りで、ハワイ特有の時間にルーズな感じがなく、その後の予定にも支障が出なくて良かったです。

It was a very efficient tour with a pickup at 7:30 AM and returning to the hotel by 9:30 AM. My third-grade son enjoyed parasailing, even though he was a bit scared! It was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it.

朝7:30ピックアップ、9:30にはホテルに戻るとても効率の良いツアーでした。パラセーリングは小3の息子もビビりながらもかなり楽しめました！素晴らしい体験になります。オススメです。

During our honeymoon, a hurricane arrived. The winds picked up and the weather became concerning, so they quickly changed our afternoon schedule to available slots in the morning. The staff at Veltra responded promptly, which was a great help.

新婚旅行でハリケーンが到来。風が強くなり天気が危ぶまれるとのことで、急遽午後のスケジュールを午前の空いているところに変えてくれました。ベルトラのスタッフが迅速に対応してくださり、助かりました。

The view from the top was amazing. The drivers for the shuttle and the people operating the boat were quite entertaining. I had a lot of fun. If you're not comfortable with heights, it might be better to avoid the highest one.

上に上がった時の景色が最高でした。
送迎のドライバーやボートを操縦する方たちもかなり面白い方々でした。
すごい楽しかったです。
1番高いやつは高いところが苦手な方は控えた方がいいかもしれません。

This time, when I told them my name at the airport, I was surprised to hear, "You are already checked in, so you must be on board." It started off like a funny story, saying, "But I'm right here!" However, I was safely taken to the hotel.

今回、空港から乗る時に名前を告げたら、「あなたは既にチェックされているので、乗っているはず」と言われてびっくり。「だけど、本人がここにいるのだから…」と笑い話のような事で始まりましたが、無事ホテルに送ってもらいました。

I thought it would be impossible to try marine sports at my age, but encouraged by my husband, I decided to give it a go. The hotel provided transportation, and when I got on the yacht, the staff took care of all the equipment for me, which was fantastic. The exhilaration of soaring into the sky with the parachute was amazing! It wasn't scary at all! I wanted to keep flying forever. If I can, I definitely want to fly again next year!

マリンスポーツは年も年だし、無理だろうと思っていましたが、主人のすすめでトライすることにしました。ホテルへの送迎ありだし、ヨットにのれば装備も全てスタッフの方が装着してくれるし、至れり尽くせりでした。そしてパラシュートをつけて、空に舞い上がった時の爽快さは素晴らしかった❗全然怖くありません❗ズーッと飛んでいたかったです。来年もできるならぜひ飛びたい‼️

Thanks to the attentive lessons and the friendly staff, I was able to catch several waves. The reception also has Japanese staff, which is reassuring. I especially recommend it for women and children! If you're unsure, it's definitely an activity worth trying!

丁寧なレッスンとノリの良いスタッフのお陰もあって、何本も波に乗れました
受付は日本人スタッフもいて安心。
女性や子供には特におすすめ！
迷うならやった方が良いアクティビティですよ〜

At first, I was just planning to observe, and I was worried about what would happen. I saw other groups flying, and I ended up vomiting due to motion sickness.

当初は見学だけん積りが飛ぶ事されてしまい、どうなる事になるか心配でしたが。
他のグループが飛ぶのを見ていて船酔で嘔吐しましたが。

It was supposed to be a Diamond Seat, but I was directed to a regular seat without any reservation. It was very disappointing that the service was not thorough, especially considering the $50 difference.

ダイアモンドシートだったが、席の確保がされておらず、普通の席に誘導された。50ドルもの差をつけながら、サービスが徹底されていないのが、とても残念だった。

The transfer from the hotel to the airport was smooth without any particular issues. The hotel pickup time was as scheduled. However, in a way, having things on time overseas might be quite impressive.

ホテルから空港までの送迎なので、特段何ごともなくスムーズに送って頂きました。
ホテルのピックアップ時間も予定どおりでした。
でも海外で時間どおりということが、ある意味すごいことなのかも知れませんね。
