Waikiki
It took longer to get around than I expected, and I returned to my room late, but I was glad to see the sea turtles. I heard there was a Japanese guide in the morning, so I aimed for that and was very satisfied with my reservation.
思いのほか移動に時間がかかり部屋に戻るのが遅くなりましたが海ガメに会えたし良かったです。午前中は日本語ガイドがあると聞いていたのでそれを狙って予約できて大変満足です。
The locals were familiar with Japanese people and tourists, making the hotel pick-up smooth and easy. The flexibility with time was also convenient.
現地の方が、日本人や観光慣れしていてスムーズに、ホテルに迎えました♪時間の融通も効くので便利です☆彡.。
This time, I challenged myself to a height of 150 meters. The view was truly beautiful, and I’m glad I experienced it. The crew was friendly and made it enjoyable. I signed up for photo shooting for $30, but it was disappointing that the quality was poor... I probably won’t request photos again.
今回は高さ150Mに挑戦。
景色が本当に綺麗で体験して良かった。
クルーも愛想良く楽しませてもらえました。
写真撮影を30ドルで申し込んだが画質が汚かったのが残念・・・
写真はもう頼むことはないかな
This is my second time. Last time, I went there by rental car, but I struggled with securing parking and paying for parking fees, so this time I requested a free shuttle service. The shuttle arrived on time at a nearby hotel, and we were dropped off at the same place on the way back. The hotel was in Waikiki, and we returned in less than two hours. Parasailing was just as enjoyable as last time, with the staff's humorous approach and the view from 130 meters high was fantastic, leaving me feeling refreshed. I had a great time without any complaints.
2回目です。前回はレンターカーで現地に行きましたが、駐車場の確保や駐車料金の支払いに苦労したので、今回は無料の送迎を頼みました。
送迎車は時間通りに近くのホテルまで来て、帰りも同じところで下車です。
ホテルはワイキキでしたが、2時間もかからずに戻ってきました。
パラセイリングは、前回同様スタッフのユーモアあふれる対応、高度130mの景色は最高で気分爽快、文句なしに楽しめました。
Honolulu Airport has very crowded immigration checks, and it takes quite a while to get outside after your flight arrives. Instead of getting tired looking for a bus or taxi, it's smoother to arrange for a shuttle service.
ホノルル空港は入国審査がとても混み合っていて、飛行機が着いてから外に出るまで結構な時間を要します。疲れてバスやタクシーを探すよりも、送迎を頼んでしまった方がスムーズです。
The employees were talking among themselves, and the response to us was slow! The bus stopped to pick up passengers along the way, and I wasn't sure when it would depart!
従業員同士で話していてこちらへの対応が遅い❗️
途中で乗り合わせするためバスが止まりいつ出発するのかもよくわからなかった!
We book the Holokai everytime our family and friends come visit us on the island, and it never disappoints! Staff is great, and the views can’t be beat. Very relaxing!
On the day of the tour, it was drizzling and the temperature was low, so the members who got on the boat were saying how cold it was during the parasailing. Since it was a tour that only included parasailing, I brought a little money (for tips), a bath towel, and water. I was told that they would take photos during the parasailing and that I could get the data for a fee. I regretted not bringing a bit more money...
当日は雨がパラパラしていて、気温も低く、ボートに乗り込んだメンバーが寒い寒い言いながらのパラセーリングでした。パラセーリングだけして帰るツアーだったので少しのお金(チップ)とバスタオルと水を持っていきました。パラセーリング中写真を撮ってもらえ、有料でデータがもらえるとの事。もう少し多目にお金を持っていけばよかったと後悔……
It was truly amazing to be close to the honu (sea turtle) and swim with it! The crew was also very nice. For those who get seasick, taking motion sickness medication is definitely a must. The final yacht sailing can be a bit rocky.
ホヌ(ウミガメ)が間近にいて泳げたのは本当に最高でした!クルーも感じが良かった。船酔いする人は確実に酔い止め必須。最後のヨットセーリングは揺れます。
I was kindly assisted from the moment I was welcomed at the airport. The bus does not depart until it is full, so there is a bit of a wait, and it takes time as it stops at various hotels. If you're in a hurry, it might be better to use a taxi.
空港での出迎えから親切に対応して頂きました。バスが満席になるまで出発しないので、多少待ち時間がある事と色々なホテルを周るのでどうしても時間がかかります。せっかちな人は、タクシーを利用する方が良いかもしれません。
I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea and sky, as well as the buildings of Waikiki and Diamond Head!!! I decided to go for the 150-meter option, and it turned out to be a really great experience. I also enjoyed the music on the boat and the guide's talk during the round trip to the parasailing point.
綺麗な海と空と、ワイキキのビルディング、ダイヤモンドヘッドも眺めることが出来ました!!!
せっかくならと150メートルを申し込みし、本当に良い体験となりました。
パラのポイントまで往復の船上での音楽や、ガイドさんのトークにも楽しませて頂きました。
I arrived at the venue at 6:30 and was first guided to the buffet. I sat at a long table and waited for my turn to go to the food table. I could choose from about ten different dishes, including green salad, macaroni salad, sautéed sweet potatoes, curry-cooked white fish, and chicken. The photo shows all the dishes I took a little bit of on two plates. The roast beef and pork were really delicious.
At 7:30, the show began. It was incredibly fun. There were performances featuring nostalgic songs from Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley, along with hula dancing. Michael Jackson's performance was particularly impressive; his moonwalk was very skillful and moving. The hula and Tahitian dance segments were short but very authentic and enjoyable to watch. I was seated near the center, which was a great spot, allowing me to enjoy the show even more.
I’m really glad I got to see this show.
6:30に会場に到着してから、まずはビュッフェへ案内されました。長いテーブルに座って順番がくるまで待ち、料理のあるテーブルへ。グリーンサラダ、マカロニサラダ、さつまいものソテー、白身魚のカレー煮、チキンなど10種類くらいから選びます。写真は二枚の皿に全ての料理を少しずつ持ってきたものです。ローストビーフとポークは本当に美味しかったです。
7:30からはショーへ。これはとてもとても楽しかったです。懐かしのマイケル・ジャクソンやエルヴィス・プレスリーの歌とフラダンスのショー。特にマイケル・ジャクソンは圧巻で、ムーンウォークはとても上手で感動的でした。フラダンスとタヒチアンダンスの部分も、短かったですが、とても本格的で見ごたえがありました。席は優先的にセンター付近に案内してくれました。本当にど真ん中のとても良い席で、ますますショーを楽しむことができました。
今回このショーを見れて本当に良かったです。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
We went along to this night not knowing a lot about the performance, other than it was in a very convenient location for us and that it was a very reasonable price. We left being blown away by the sheer professionalism, talent and wow factor of the performers and entire evening.
The pre show dinner was tasty and filling, the service friendly & prompt.
The show was in a lovely theatre with exceptional stage and lighting setup and from the moment the show started our eyes were glued to the stage.
The singers and dancers never missed a beat or note, the lighting was beautiful and the music fun and fabulous. We enjoyed the range of pop performers throughout the eras with Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonators as stand out performers! Even at the meet and greet afterwards Michael was perfectly in character - when I asked him how long his show makeup took he replied in a wonderfully accurate voice "makeup? What makeup??"
The fire dancer was also phenomenal with even bar staff remarking that they tried to align their breaks with his performance to go watch from the back of the theatre! Who needs to go to an overpriced louwow when you've got wonderful traditional hula dancers and performers right here.
5 stars - all round a phenomenal night and a "must see" for all visitors!
I thought I wouldn't be able to handle even the lowest height due to my fear of heights, but I decided to go for the highest option at 150m to create a memorable experience. I was extremely nervous before it started, but once I jumped, I was overwhelmed by the scenery and had a lot of fun. The instructors were locals who only spoke a little Japanese, but they encouraged us and helped raise our spirits. I highly recommend participating for those who are hesitant. Also, we didn't bring cash or cards, so we couldn't do it, but I think purchasing photos would make for a great keepsake.
高所恐怖症で1番低い高さでも無理と思いましたが、せっかくの思い出にということで1番高い150mにしました。
始まる前は緊張しまくりでしたが、いざ飛んでみたら怖さよりも景色に圧倒されとても楽しかったです。
インストラクターは現地の方達で片言の日本語しかわかりませんが、テンションが上がるように話してくれました。
迷われてる方はぜひ参加することをお勧めします。
あと我々は現金やカードを持参してなかったので無理でしたが、写真は購入した方が良い記念になると思います。
We had a lot of fun!! I personally thought it was going to be scary, but it turned out to be more fun than scary.
There was a slight confusion about the pickup location, but I had prepared to wait early, so it was fine! The bus arrived about 15 minutes before the scheduled pickup time without any delays, which made me feel very relieved. I was using it from Hilton Hawaiian Village, and most of the passengers boarded there, with only one additional person at the next hotel, so it was very smooth.
ピックアップ場所が少しだけ迷う部分はありましたが、早めに待機できるよう準備していたので大丈夫でした!
バスは遅れることなくピックアップ時間の15分ほど前に来てくれたので、とても安心して利用できました。
ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジからの利用でしたが、そこで乗る人がほとんどで、次のホテルで1名追加されただけでしたのでとてもスムーズでした。
I was imagining a leisurely canoe ride with everyone paddling together, but in reality, we paddled out to the open sea and waited for the waves, riding them back to the shore like surfing. The intense splashes of water and the sense of speed made it quite exhilarating. We rode about four waves, and each wave was relatively long, requiring a good amount of energy to paddle, so I was very satisfied with the number of rides. Only four people held paddles, but a total of six people, four men and two women, were able to join in.
It was so much fun, so I highly recommend it for groups!
ただみんなで漕いでお散歩するカヌーを想像していましたが、実際は沖まで漕いで波を待ち、サーフィンのように一気に浜に向かって波乗りで帰ってきます。激しい水しぶきとスピード感でかなり盛り上がりました。4本くらい波乗りしましたが、1本の波乗り距離も比較的長く、漕ぐのに体力も使うので、本数的にも十分満足しました。パドルを持つのは4人のみですが、男性4人女性2人の計6人で同乗できました。
とても楽しかったのでグループにはおすすめです!
Great experience! Kids really enjoyed themselves. The tour guy on the submarine was hilarious! The boat ride out to the submarine was really nice and got to see some beautiful scenery. Everyone was very friendly! Have to do it if your here, we wanted to do things that we aren’t able to do back home.
The personal attention that you receive during the dinner and pre-show entertainment made you feel so special. The staff remembered your name and details about you — such as where your from, the drinks you like, etc was above and beyond. The food was delicious. My daughter is a vegetarian and they went out of their way to create a vegetarian plate just for her!! The food options on the buffet were all delicious. Both the prime rib and the pork melted in your mouth.
Once we were seated in the theater the videos enriched the show. One of my favorite parts was how the hula girls appearance changed throughout the decades. Elvis was great and Michael Jackson was very impressive. It was more like a musical show than I expected. It was a great surprise. Best night I had in Waikiki ,,,
This was a great experience, from check in to getting off the boat! The guys on the boat were super fun! My 7year old daughter loved it so much that she’s been asking to do it again. I’m 47 and also enjoyed my first time parasailing! We did the 600 ft and my husband and 13 year old son did the 1000 ft. The boat ride was very enjoyable also, love the views and also got to see large turtles! The pictures are a must, the one picture with the shark is worth every penny!
It was very cold because it was raining. I could put my luggage under the seat, so it didn't get wet, but my feet were bare and since we were on the sea, it was colder than I expected. It's a good idea to bring a bath towel or something when the weather is uncertain. However, the scenery was amazing. I was able to see dolphins too.
雨が降っていたのでとても寒かったです。荷物は座席の下に入れることができるので雨に濡れることはなかったのですが、足ははだしだし海の上なので思った以上に寒かったです。天気があやしいときはバスタオルなど持っていたほうがいいです。しかし、景色は最高でした。イルカも見ることができました。
The weather was perfect, making it an ideal day for parasailing! I was a little worried when they were about 5 minutes late for the meeting time, wondering if they would actually show up.
Aside from that, it was an incredibly enjoyable activity that exceeded my expectations, and I was very satisfied!
天気にもめぐまれて、絶好のパラセール日和でした❗️
集合時間を5分ほどまわって、本当に来てもらえるか少し心配になりました。
その事を除いては、期待以上に楽しめて大変満足いくアクティビティでした❗️
Food was wonderful and show was even better! VELTRA supplied all details before hand making it an easy going night for us! Also great if planning a family night and service was amazing
Aloha JV,
Thank you for being our guest!
The wind makes the boat sway, and the view from 150 meters is fantastic. The boat also turns, allowing for a panoramic view from the sea. There was a Japanese person on the same boat, so we were able to take videos of each other.
風もあって船の上でも揺れます&揺らされます。150m景色も最高。船も向きを変えてくれるで、海の上から一望出来ます。一緒の船に乗った時に日本の方がいたので、動画をお互いに撮り合い出来ました。
During my first trip to Hawaii, I was excited and nervous, and I was welcomed by Robert, who is very fluent in Japanese. We had a great conversation while waiting, which made for a wonderful start to my stay. Thank you!
初めてのハワイでドキドキワクワクしている中、日本語がとても堪能なロバートさんが迎えてくれました。
待ち時間も楽しくお話させていただき、いい滞在スタートになりました。
ありがとうございました!
The pickup location was changed due to the parade. While that can't be helped, the driver was the worst. He didn't have a list, and even when I showed him the voucher, he didn't respond at all, which was terrible service. I was so frustrated that I had to complain before I could finally get on. To make matters worse, I was dropped off at the Hawaiian Airlines domestic terminal. Please make sure to convey my complaint to Robert Hawaii. I always felt safe with Veltra, but this time was disappointing.
パレードの影響でピックアップ場所が変更になりました。それは仕方ないのですがお迎えの運転手が最悪。リストも持っていないしバウチャーを見せても反応なく最悪の対応でした。ぶち切れてクレームを言ってやっと乗れました。オマケにハワイアン航空の国内便の所で降ろされました。しっかりロバートハワイにクレームをお伝え下さい。いつも、ベルトラさんなら安心していたのに。
It was scarier than I expected!! But as I got used to it, the weather was nice, the scenery was amazing, and the wind felt great—it was a strange sensation! I never knew that being off the ground could be so much fun✨ Next, maybe I'll try skydiving♪
予想していたより怖かった!!
でも慣れてくると天気も良くて景色が最高で風も気持ちよくて、不思議な感覚だった!
地面から離れることがこんなに楽しいとは✨
次はスカイダイビングかな♪
I participated in the lesson starting at 3 PM. There were a total of 7 participants, including myself, 3 Caucasians, and 3 Koreans, with 2 instructors. I was a bit anxious since I don't speak much English, but one of the instructors was mixed with Japanese and spoke to me using simple Japanese words. Half of the participants were Japanese. There was a Japanese woman at the front desk.
The board we used in the lesson was similar to a SUP board, so it's easy to stand on. Also, when a wave comes, they push you from behind, so I think even those without paddle strength can enjoy it.
Since this is primarily a "surfing experience" plan, I wouldn't recommend participating with the goal of improving your skills. The mixed Japanese instructor mentioned that after graduating from school, they might come to Japan and appear on Terrace House or not?
15時からのレッスンに参加しました。
参加者は自分と白人3名、韓国人3名の計7名、インストラクターは2名でした。あまり英語も喋れないので不安でしたが、インストラクターの一人は日本人とのミックスとの事で簡単な日本語の単語で話しかけてくれました。利用者の半分は日本人との事です。フロントには日本人女性がいました。
レッスンで使った板はサップの板に近いので、簡単に立てます。また波が来たら後ろから押してくれるので、パドル力が無い人でも楽しめると思います。
あくまで「サーフィン体験」のプランなので、上達したいという目的で参加するのは勧めません。
日本人とのミックスのインストラクターさんは、学校を卒業したら来日してテラスハウスに出るとか出ないとか?
The weather was nice, and I had no trouble communicating in Japanese with the locals. It was a valuable experience, and I had a great time. The driver who picked us up was cheerful and shared various information like a tour guide.
- If you are prone to seasickness, it's advisable to take medication.
- If you want to have your photo taken with a camera, it costs $30 (cash) for the SD card. Note: Card payments will cost $35.
- I also paid an additional $20 as a tip (of course, this is optional).
天気が良くて、日本人には日本語で話してくれて困ることはなかっです。
貴重な体験なので、楽しく過ごせました。
ピックアップするドライバーが陽気な人で、観光ガイドのようにいろいろ教えてくれます。
・船は船酔いしやすいひとは薬を飲んだよいでしょう。
・カメラの写真を撮ってもらうと、SDカードは30ドル(現金)かかります。
注:カード払いは35ドルかかります。
・別にチップで20ドル支払いました(もちろん任意ですが)。
The aerial trapeze while overlooking the city of Waikiki was amazing. The instructor's energy was high, and I had a lot of fun, but aside from the long wait time and the strong rocking of the boat that made me a bit dizzy, it was fantastic.
Waikikiの街を眺めながらの空中ブランコはさいこうでした
インストラクターのテンションも高く楽しめましたが、待ち時間が長く船の揺れもすごくて若干よったことを除けば最高でした。
