Waikiki
The hotel staff confirmed everything, so I wasn't worried, but we arrived 20 minutes late even though there were no passengers in front of us.
ホテルの人が確認してくれたので不安はなかったが、私達の前に乗客がいるわけでもないのに20分遅れて来た。
Overall an amazing experience I grew up in Hawaii and brought my girlfriend to experience what I had not yet experienced this wonderful catamaran experience!! Loved every aspect of it the boat ride lunch drinks jumping in and swimming with turtles it can’t be beat !!!
Enjoyed the evening from start to finish - loved the meet and greet, the food was great and the selection unbelievable. The entertainment at the dinner and the participation by those having dinner created a happy and enjoyable experience. Following dinner the meet and photo session with Katie got everyone off to a great start for the show. I am a mad Elvis fan and an Australian who has been to Graceland 5 times, I had photos taken with Elvis after the show and told him that I have seen many Elvis impersonators and he is the best by far. I loved the show and the added input of the Beach Boys who I also love. The added attraction of the films behind the entertainers was fantastic. The backing band also were tops and the Hawaiian dancers right up there with the best.
My personal favorite part of the show - Elvis for sure - he blew me away and the way he moved about the audience during the songs made sure everyone had a great time. Will make sure during our next visit I and my colleagues will attend the show again!
You can get photos taken for $30. You can bring your own camera up high, but it's "at your own risk if you drop it" + "it might not turn out well," so if you want photos, it's best to just ask nicely. I only got my feet wet in the sea, so I hardly used my towel. The tip was about $5 to $10 per person.
写真を30ドルで撮ってくれる。自分でカメラを上空まで持ち込み可能だが「落としても自己責任」+「うまくとれない」ので、写真が欲しいなら素直にお願いするとよいでしょう。海には足くらいしか着水しなかったので、タオルはほぼ使いませんでした。チップはだいたい一人あたり5~10ドルくらいでした。
Thanks to the captain's exquisite driving, we had an exciting time filled with thrills. If you're scared, just look into the distance, and you'll be fine! It's definitely worth the challenge!
キャプテンの絶妙な運転で、わくわく感満載な時間を過ごせました。
怖い人は、遠くを見ていたら、大丈夫!
是非チャレンジする価値大です!
The day before flying, I was feeling scared looking down from the window of my hotel, but on the day of the flight, the staff encouraged me in English, saying, "It's not scary at all! The captain is number one, and it's definitely going to be fun!" Once I took off, the fear disappeared, and I was greeted with the most amazing views and a smooth ride. It felt like I had become a bird. I flew 150 meters, and if you're going to fly, I absolutely recommend going for the 150 meters!
飛ぶ前日までは、宿泊先のホテルの窓から下を眺めて飛ぶことも怖くなっていましたが、当日はスタッフの方が英語で「全然怖くないからね!キャプテンはナンバーワンの腕前だし、絶対に楽しいから」と声をかけてくださり、いざ飛ぶと怖さなんて気持ちは吹っ飛んでしまうほどの最高の景色と、乗り心地でした♡
まるで自分が鳥になったかのようでした
私は150メートルを飛びましたが、せっかく飛ぶなら私は絶対に150メートルをオススメします♡
The staff were very accommodating, and they made the experience enjoyable even before we went parasailing. I definitely recommend this for anyone who wants to try parasailing in Hawaii!
スタッフの方の対応もよく、パラセイリングをする前から楽しませていただきました
是非、ハワイでパラセイリングをしたい!っと思ってる方には是非オススメしたいですね
I experienced the 150m parasailing. The parasailing itself was very fun!!! The staff spoke a little Japanese for explanations, so I could understand. However, the boat was very shaky, so I wouldn't recommend it for those who are prone to motion sickness... They even told me that if I felt like throwing up, I could do it in the sea, haha.
パラセイリングの150mを体験しました。パラセイリング自体はとても楽しかったです!!! スタッフの方も説明に関しては、軽く日本語を話せるので、理解できます。 しかし、ボートでの揺れがすごく、乗り物酔いしやすい方にはあまりおすすめできません...。もし吐きたかったら海に吐いていいよと言われました笑
Loved the dinner and show from start to finish! All of the performers were interactive and welcoming. Would definitely recommend for all ages!
Tours depart every hour, making it easy to adjust your schedule, and it was perfect for an activity before checking in on the day we arrived in Hawaii. The air-conditioned interior of the boat allowed us to slowly recover from the fatigue of our overnight flight. We were able to see large fish and sea turtles around the reefs and shipwrecks, which really boosted our excitement from the very first day of our trip.
1時間に1本ツアーが出ているので時間の融通が利きやすくて、ハワイ到着日のチェックイン前のアクティビティに最適でした。エアコンのしっかり効いた船内で夜行フライトの疲れがゆっくりと癒せます。
魚礁や沈船のまわりには大型魚やウミガメも見ることができて、旅の初日からテンションが上がりました。
Since you will be wearing a swimsuit, your bottom may get a little wet, so a cover-up is essential as it might be cold. They offer an option for photo shooting, and we took pictures with others from the same tour.
水着着用とのことでしが、お尻が少し濡れる程度、寒いかもしれないので羽織物は必須です。オプションで写真撮影してくれるとのことでしが、同じツアーの方達と撮り合いっこしました。
There was no Japanese staff, but the driver was a nice person, which was great! They also accommodated the total charter flight, and it was good including the tip!
日本語スタッフはいませんでしたが、ドライバーさんも感じの良い方でよかったです!
総チョアフライトにも対応していてチップ込みでよかったです!
I signed up with a shuttle service. It was my first time paragliding, and since everyone on the same boat was foreign and I couldn't speak much English, I was nervous. However, they helped me with some basic Japanese, and I was able to mimic what the person in front of me was doing and enjoyed the experience! You can get the photo data for $30! I was told that there would be no shuttle bus for the return trip (was it due to traffic regulations from the Honolulu Festival?), which was a bit of a hassle, but since I booked the trip through JTB, there was a bus stop nearby, and I managed to get back to my hotel... (Did they underestimate me because I couldn't speak English?) Overall, the paragliding experience was great, but it was a bit disappointing at the end.
送迎付きで申し込みました。
パラセイリイングは初めてで、同じ船の方は外国の方ばかりで、全然英語ができない私は緊張しましたが、片言の日本語で準備をしてくれ前の人の見よう見まねで飛ぶことができ楽しめました!
30ドルで写真のデータをもらえます!
帰りは送迎バスが出ないと言われ(ホノルルフェスティバル交通規制の影響?)困りましたが、旅行自体JTBで申し込んでいたためバス停が近くにありなんとかホテルへ帰ることができました…(英語ができずなめられた?)
とてもよかったパラセイリングだったため最後だけ残念でした。
The shuttle service had a driver who spoke very little Japanese. The crew on the boat also spoke very little Japanese, but we were able to enjoy ourselves without any issues. I think it's a good idea to put your phone in a waterproof case that you can hang around your neck while parasailing, as it allows you to take pictures of the view from the sky!
送迎は、日本語はほとんど話せない運転手さん。船もクルーは日本語がほとんど話せない人たちでしたが問題なく楽しめました(^-^)携帯が水没しないように首からかける防水ケースに入れてパラセイリングをすると空中からの景色も自分で撮影できていいと思います!
I used this service to get to the hotel from the airport, and the shuttle bus stop was close by, so I found it easily. It was also helpful that there was someone to guide us in the arrival lobby.
空港でホテルに行く際に利用しましたが空港から送迎バスの乗り場が近く
すぐにわかりました。到着ロビーに案内してくれる人がいたこともわかりやすかったです。
I made a round-trip transfer reservation from Honolulu Airport to the hotel in advance from Japan, and I was relieved that they were punctual, especially on the return day when I was concerned about the flight time.
日本から事前に申し込みしてホノルル空港からホテルまでの往復送迎でしたが
時間に正確で特に飛行機の時間が気になる帰国の日にも時刻どおりに迎えがきて安心しました。
I always use this service, and they always respond politely. Many of the staff are cheerful, which makes me feel the happiness of being in Hawaii. It's a very convenient shuttle bus.
いつも利用していますが、いつも丁寧に対応していただき、またスタッフの方も明るい方が多く、ハワイに来た幸せを感じられます。とても便利なシャトルバスです。
I participated with my wife. Although we signed up quite last minute, the reservation confirmation and finalization went smoothly, and the pickup on the day was right on time. The boat dock for parasailing is about 10-15 minutes from the city center (near T Galleria), so I think it's a quick and enjoyable activity. This was my second time parasailing, but the views of Hawaii are truly exceptional. The boat ride was pleasant, and my wife, who was experiencing parasailing for the first time, was completely satisfied, leaving us both feeling refreshed from the morning.
Before starting parasailing, the instructor asked if we wanted to take photos, and we could purchase a commemorative photo and SD card for 30 USD. We requested the photo shoot, but I accidentally lost the purchased SD card. I realized this when we returned to our hotel room, but shortly after, I received a call in the room from a representative at Veltra, who informed me, "There was a lost SD card in the car, and I will have the driver deliver it to you now." After that, I was able to meet with the driver and receive the SD card. The Veltra representative and the driver were all incredibly kind, and I can't thank them enough.
In the future, when I request optional tours in other countries, I plan to book with Veltra. By the way, the driver and instructor spoke only English, but there were no issues with communication. I can confidently recommend this tour to anyone considering it!
妻と2名で参加しました。
かなり直前での申し込みでしたが、予約確認〜確定までスムーズに進めて頂き、当日のピックアップも定刻通りにお越し頂きました。
パラセイリングのボート乗り場までは中心地(Tギャラリア近辺)から10-15分程度ですので、サクッと楽しめるアクティビティだと思います。
私は人生2度目のパラセイリングでしたが、ハワイの景色はやはり別格です。
ボートでの移動も気持ち良いですし、パラセイリング初体験の妻も終始大満足で、朝からとても清々しい気分に浸れました。
パラセイリング開始前に、インストラクターさんから写真を撮るかどうか聞かれ、30USDで記念写真&SDカードを購入できます。
私たちは写真撮影をお願いしたのですが、購入したSDカードをうっかり紛失。
ホテルの部屋に戻ってそのことに気付いたのですが、すぐに部屋に電話があり、ベルトラのご担当者の方から「帰りの車内にSDカードの落し物があったので、今からドライバーさんに届けてもらいます」とお伝え頂きました。
その後、無事にドライバーさんと落ち合うことができ、SDカードを届けて頂きました。
ベルトラのご担当者の方、ドライバーさん、皆さん本当に親切で、感謝してもしきれません。
今後どこかの国でオプショナルツアーをお願いする時も、ベルトラさんで申し込もうと思います。
ちなみに、ドライバーさん、インストラクターさんは英語オンリーですが、コミュニケーションロスで不便することは特にありませんでした。
こちらのツアーをご検討されている方には、自信を持ってオススメできます!
The clear blue pacific didn't disappoint. An abundance of fish and of course the stunning turtles. Capt. Rich, Michelle and Austin got us to were we needed to be safely and with a lot of fun. Genuinely nice people as well. Made us feel special on our 20th wedding anniversary. Would go on an adventure with them without hesitation. Highly recommend.
The driver was on time, courteous and helpful. Great service.
Great crew and sail. Wonderful view of Diamond Head. Even saw a few Sea Turtles.
This Hawaii travel was our 4th visit and 1st to Oahu, we actually had multiple times of Luau at the Maui, Big Island, Kauai and even in the Oahu.
I can definitely vote Rock-a-Hura show was one of our best show out of what we experienced many Luau show.
We took show + Luau dinner, surprising was hura dancers at the Luau are all real dancers of main rock-a-hura show, they are very kind and friendly during our Luau dinner, I even still remember our table host whose name is Megan, she was also performed in the main show. Every table had assigned a dancer as host and they were taking care of all dinner process and took picture together, isn't it amazing?
Main show also was wonderful, Michael Jackson, Elvis etc.. all rockers were amazing as well as hura dancers who's already known during Luau dinner.
I strongly recommend this show if you are staying at the Oahu.
It was very exciting. The view from Ala Moana Beach to Diamond Head was wonderful. When I signed up, it mentioned that only English instructors would be available, but they spoke a little Japanese.
非常にエキサイティングでした。アラモアナビーチからダイヤモンドヘッドまで一望できて景色も素晴らしかった。
申し込むときに英語のインストラクターのみと書いてありましたが、片言ですが日本語でしゃべってくれます。
This is my second time participating after a year. Last time, I only attended the show, so this was my first experience with the buffet. The staff were very kind, dancing close by, which made the meal enjoyable. And to my surprise, these staff members were also performers in the show! It felt very personal, and the fun was doubled. The content of the show was completely different from a year ago, making it feel fresh, and everyone's skill level was high. I definitely want to see it again when I come to Hawaii.
1年ぶり、2回目の参加です。
前回はショーのみだったので、ビュッフェ付きは初めてでしたが、
スタッフの方達がとても親切で、身近で踊ってくれたりと楽しく食事をすることが出来ました。
そしてなんと、このスタッフ達がショーの出演者でビックリ!
とっても身近に感じられて、楽しさも倍増しました。
ショーの内容も1年前とは全然変わっていて新鮮だったし、皆さんの技術力も高く、ハワイに来た際は又是非観たいと思いました。
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 back when you come to Hawaii again.
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。
I was worried about the weather not being very good, but I signed up three days ago and participated. After it ended, we dispersed at the location, but since it was close to the Hilton, I was able to walk back to Waikiki and have lunch.
お天気があまり良くなく大丈夫かどうか心配でしたが、3日前に申し込みしての参加でした。終了後は現地解散でしたが場所がヒルトンの近くだったのでワイキキまで歩いて戻りランチできました。
The pickup location is clearly indicated within the airport, making it easy to find, and the pickup process is smooth. The rates are also very affordable, including tips. You can use this service with peace of mind.
乗車場所は空港内から表示があるのでわかりやすく、ピックアップもスムーズ。料金もチップ込みで格安。安心して利用できる。
It was my first time paragliding, and I had a lot of fun. There was also a pick-up service to the hotel, and the local staff were very entertaining and made the experience enjoyable. It would have been even better if the weather had been nice!
初めてのパラセイリングでしたが、
とても楽しかったです。
ホテルまで送迎もあり、現地の担当の方もすごく楽しませて頂き、面白かったです。
天気が良ければもっとよかったです!
Before the show, we had dinner at a buffet-style restaurant on the terrace of the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center's fourth floor. We were first offered drinks, and we could choose between alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. Regardless of our choice, the drinks were served in Hawaiian-style cocktail glasses. The meal included a whole roasted pig, beef, salads, bread, desserts, and coffee, leaving us completely full. The dinner venue also featured hula performances and Hawaiian music, making the dining experience enjoyable. Finally, we entered the show venue and took our seats. The show was not only filled with impersonators of Elvis and Michael but also included hula dancing, Tahitian dancing, and fire dancing, making it a fantastic experience. I would love to see it again!
ショーの前に食事でした。ロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンターの4階のテラスみたいなところでブッフェ形式のディナーを頂きました。最初にドリンクサービスがあり、アルコール入りかノンアルコールかを選べました。どちらを選んでもハワイらしいカクテルグラスででてきました。食事は豚の丸焼きのほかビーフやサラダやパン、デザートやコーヒーまでありお腹いっぱいになりました。ディナー会場でもフラやハワイアンの曲の演奏もあり食事中も楽しめました。いよいよショー会場に入り席に着きます。ショーはプレスリーやマイケルのそっくりさんのショーだけでなくフラダンスありタヒチアンダンスありファイアーダンスありの盛沢山でとっても楽しめました。また観たいと思います!
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 back when you visit Hawaii again.

My first surfing experience became a wonderful memory. Before I started, I was worried about whether I could ride the waves, but the instructor taught me patiently, and I was able to enjoy surfing with my friends. Some of the instructors spoke Japanese, so even if you're not very good at English, I think you'll have a great time. I was able to have photos taken while I was surfing, and I received them for free afterward. It was a bit disappointing that it was cold. Next time, I want to be able to ride bigger waves.
初めてのサーフィンは、良い思い出となりました。始める前は波に乗れるか不安でしたが、インストラクターの方に丁寧に教えていただき、友人と楽しくサーフィンをすることができました。インストラクターの方の中には、日本語を話すことのできる方もおられ、英語があまり得意でなくとも、楽しめると思います。サーフィンを体験しているときの写真を撮ってもらうことができ、終わった後に無料でいただくことができました。寒かった点が少し残念でした。次回はもう少し大きな波に乗れるようになりたいです。
I participated in a 120M parasailing with my daughter early in the morning. Under the guidance of two cheerful instructors, we headed out to the vast ocean.
Parasailing while gazing at Diamond Head was amazing. The 8 minutes felt incredibly long. I was a bit concerned about seasickness, but it wasn't a problem at all. It might have been due to the waves that day.
Thank you for the wonderful time!
早朝120Mのパラセイリングに娘と参加。
陽気なインストラクター二人のガイドの元、大海原へ。。
ダイアモンドヘッドを眺めつつのパラセイリングは最高でした。
8分間がものすごく長く感じました。
船酔いが気になりましたが、特に問題はありませんでした。
その日の波の揺れによるかもしれません。
楽しい時間をありがとうございました!
