Waikiki
I booked a 150m parasailing experience. I was nervous since it was my first time, but once I was up in the air, the view was amazing and I could see the beautiful ocean, so I was glad I participated. It was a bit disappointing that the weather was not great… Also, for those who get motion sickness, I recommend taking anti-nausea medication beforehand, as some people did feel unwell.
パラセイリング150mを予約しました。初挑戦でドキドキしましたが空に上がってしまうと景色が最高で綺麗な海が見えたので参加してよかったです。お天気が少し悪かったのがショックでしたが…。後、乗り物酔いをする方は、事前に酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。気分が悪くなる方もいらっしゃいましたので。
I was taken to the green room by the guide. At first, I was worried that the cocktails and fruits would be extra charges, but it turned out there were no additional fees after that. When I realized that the Elvis we took a commemorative photo with was the real deal, and that he was actually going to appear on stage, I finally felt like a VIP, and from then on, I enjoyed the experience as a VIP.
During the backstage tour, I learned about the surprises for the upcoming stage performance, and even during dinner and the show, they came to our table to chat and put beautiful leis around our necks. Elvis's singing and entertainment were top-notch. With Elvis, Michael, and Lady Gaga performing, I think people of all ages can enjoy songs they've somewhat heard before.
I created wonderful memories in Hawaii after 20 years.
ガイドに連れられてグリーンルームへ。
初めはカクテル、フルーツなど別料金かなと不安なままいただいてました(実際はその後も追加料金なし)。一緒に記念写真を撮ったエルビスはホンモノ?というかホントにこれから舞台に登場する本人だとわかった頃から、ようやくVIP扱いなんだと実感が沸き、その後はVIP気分で楽しめました。
バックステージツアーではこれから始まるステージのサプライズ演出のからくりが聞けたり、ディナー中もショーの本番中もテーブルまで来て声かけてくれたり、きれいなレイをかけてくれたり。
エルビスは歌もエンターテインメントも最高でした。エルビス、マイケル、レディガガと出てくるので若い人から年配まで、なんとなく聞いたことある曲が楽しめると思います。
20年ぶりのハワイで素敵な思い出ができました。
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。
Amazing crew and couldn't have asked for anything else!!! Friendly and never overbearing, we saw 6 or 7 enormous turtles!!! Great drinks. Highly recommended!!
Our driver arrived on time (to the minute) to our hotel pick up point. He was cordial and helped with the seat belt shoulder strap (due to passengers need to ingress the rear set of seats). He dropped us off and picked us up as planned. We had a very nice hike up to the lookout station and WWII bunkers on Diamond Head. The view was absolutely worth the trip! Veltra made the trip that much more enjoyable.
The Elvis impersonator was amazing. The entertainment was so much fun, and I had a great time even by myself. I enjoyed Hawaii with the aloha hula dance and fire dance.
エルビスのそっくりさん最高でした。エンターテイメントがとても楽しく1人でも楽しい時間を過ごせました。
アロハなフラダンス・ファィアーダンスでハワイを堪能しました。

Last time I used a different shuttle service, it was ANA, but I was dropped off at a different location, and I was quite anxious wandering around the airport! This time, I was guided smoothly, and I was glad. I would like to use it again.
前回別のシャトルサービスを利用した時に、ANAだったのに、別の場所で下され、空港内をウロウロしてかなり不安だった!
今回はスムーズに案内されて、よかった。また、利用したいと思う。
I was told to wait here and sat on a bench when a large bus stopped right in front of me! I thought, "No way this is my bus," but when I was told to get on, it left immediately!
Two more people got on along the way, but with only four of us in the big bus, I felt a bit guilty. However, I was glad that I didn't have to wait and that I was taken to the hotel quickly in the spring tide.
こちらでお待ちくださいといわれてベンチに座っていたら、目の前に大きなバスが止まった!まさかこのバスじゃないだろうと思ったら、どうぞ!と言われて乗ったらすぐに出発!
途中で2人乗ったが、大きなバスに4人だけで、申し訳なく感じだが、特に待つこともなく、春潮にホテルまで連れて行ってもらえて、よかった。
We were picked up on time. The driver was pleasant, and the spacious vehicle allowed us and an elderly couple from Dallas to ride comfortably. With the driver's skillful atmosphere creation and conversation, we arrived at the airport in no time. On the other hand, the shuttle we took from the airport had a bit of a wait and guidance issue, but based on this experience, I will use their service again next time.
時間通りにピックアップ頂きました。ドライバーさんの感じも良く車内はダラスから来られてた老夫婦と我々の4名とゆったり乗れたのに加え、巧みな雰囲気づくりと会話で’’アッ’という間に空港に到着しました。一方、空港から送ってもらったシャトルは、案内、待ち時間にチョイト、、の感じがありましたが、この体験で次も利用させてもらいます。
I experienced 150 meters. I have a fear of heights, but I wasn't scared at all. The hotels in Waikiki, contrasting beautifully with the blue of the ocean and the blue of the sky, were stunning.
150mを体験しました。高所恐怖症ですが全然怖くありませんでした。海の青と空の青に映えるワイキキのホテル群がきれいでした。
A nearby experience from Honolulu that felt just like a seabird adventure. The weather was nice, the wind wasn't too strong, and the view of Honolulu from the sea was beautiful.
ホノルルから近場で、まるでウミドリ体験。
天気もよく〜、風も強くなく〜、海からのホノルルの眺めもキレイでした〜。
My first time in Hawaii, and I wanted to do some activities, so I ended up trying parasailing.
When I got on the shuttle bus, there were several groups of people who would also be boarding the boat. Since I'm prone to seasickness, I took some motion sickness medication, changed my clothes, and headed to the boat. Two people are paired together, and once the gear is on, we take off with the signal "Go!" The moment we lift off was exciting yet a bit scary (like the feeling before a roller coaster drops), but once we reached the sky, it felt like a different world.
I felt like I was floating up high, with the boat and ocean seeming very far below, and I could see the streets of Hawaii at eye level. All I could think was how "beautiful" it was. We went up and down several times. Before going down, they asked if I wanted to splash in the water, and when I said yes, I was quite literally dropped into the water (laughs). Even as someone who gets scared easily, it was an activity that made me not want to come down and made me want to experience it again.
The guide was a handsome muscular guy. He also took pictures during the parasailing (which I believe cost an additional $30 on-site), creating great memories.
初めてのハワイ、せっかくなら何かアクティビティもしたいと思い、パラセイリングにたどり着きました。
送迎バスに乗り込むと、一緒に船に乗り込む方達何組かいらっしゃいました。
船酔いに弱いため酔い止めを服用し、着替えてからいざ船へ。
2人1組で器具が装着され、「Go!」を合図に高く飛び立って行きます。
飛び立つ瞬間はワクワクしながらも少し怖い気持ち(ジェットコースター落ちる前のような)もありましたが、上空にたどり着くとそこは別世界。
上空で浮いて止まっている感覚で、船や海がとても遠く下に感じられ、目線にはハワイの街並み。
とにかく「きれい」という言葉しか出ませんでした。
何度か下げられたりまた上げられたり、を繰り返します。
下がる際に水チャポンがしたいかは事前に確認され、したいと答えるとわりとドボンと着水させられていました(笑)
怖がりの私でも、降りたくない・また体験したいと思うアクティビティでした。
ガイドのお兄さんはイケメンマッチョ。
パラセイリング最中の写真も撮ってくれ(確か別途その場で$30)、いい思い出になりました。
The children had a great time splashing in the water and squealing with joy. It might not be suitable for those who get seasick, but I recommend it for those who don't have any worries.
水しぶきを浴びながら、キャーキャー言って、子供達は凄く楽しんでくれました。
船酔いする方には向かないかもしれませんが、心配ない方にはオススメです。
I had previously enjoyed tropical fish while riding a submarine, but this time the weather was bad the day before, and the seawater was murky, which was a bit disappointing. However, I think it would be enjoyable if the weather is good. Since it was at Hilton, the access was also good, which is a plus.
以前にも潜水艦に乗ってトロピカルフィッシュを楽しんだんですが、今回は前日の天気が悪く海水が濁っており、ちょっと残念でした。ただ天気さえよければ十分楽しめると思います。ヒルトン拍だったのでアクセスもよくこの点はGood
The sight of the submarine emerging from the surface of the sea was impressive. Also, the guide was very entertaining. I think those who can understand English will enjoy it even more.
潜水艦が海面に出てくるところは迫力がありました。また、ガイドの方がとてもおもしろかったです。英語が聞き取れる方はより楽しめると思います。
The driver was a fun person, very pleasant and kind. The car was full, but it was clean and comfortable inside.
ドライバーさんは楽しい方で、とても感じよく親切でした。
車内は満席でしたが車内はきれいで快適でした。
A person who was good at Japanese guided me to the bus stop, which made me feel relieved. However, it was crowded, so the bus took a while to arrive, and I felt like I waited quite a bit.
日本語の上手な方が乗り場まで案内してくれたので安心でした。
ただ、混んでいたのでバスがなかなか来ず、結構まったような気がしました
Right on time. A friendly and cheerful driver welcomed us with a loud voice.
I wasn't too impressed with the shuttle bus on the way there, but the return trip was much better thanks to the cheerful and kind driver.
Thank you!
時間ピッタリ。声が大きく親切、ノリノリのドライバーさんが出迎えてくれました。
行きの送迎バスの印象はイマイチだったのですが、帰りは陽気で親切なドライバーさんで印象がだいぶ変わりました。
ありがとうございました!
Parasailing is always available in tropical regions, but this tour was incredibly efficient compared to other companies I've tried. The pickup, parasailing, and drop-off were all very smooth. Thanks to that, I was able to relax in the afternoon. Also, it had been raining right up until just before we started, so we got to see a beautiful rainbow the whole time!
パラセイリングは南国では常にやっていますが、このツアーは今までの他社と比較しても一切無駄がなく、お迎え、パラセイリング、送りだけでとてもスムーズでした。お陰で午後もゆっくり過ごせて助かりました。
あとやる直前まで雨が降ってたので大きな虹がずっと見えてて最高でした!
I was hesitant to participate due to my fear of heights, but after seeing various reviews stating that it wasn't too scary, I decided to go for it. I'm so glad I participated! I felt no fear at all and it was incredibly exhilarating. I definitely want to join again.
高所恐怖症のため、参加をためらっていましたが、様々な口コミを見てあまり恐怖を感じないとのことだったので思い切って参加しました。
参加して大正解でした!
全く恐怖心はなく、大爽快でした。
またぜひ参加したいと思います。
I participated in a Japanese guided tour on a premium boat. Everything, from safety instructions to the guide, was in Japanese, so my aunt, who doesn't speak English, was able to enjoy it as well.
Due to the lack of coral reefs in the waters off the coast of Oahu, we couldn't see beautiful underwater scenery or vibrant tropical fish, but I was satisfied to see the wild fish gathered around the sunken reef up close.
プレミアム船の日本語ガイドツアーに参加しました。
安全の注意からガイドまですべて日本語でやってくれるので、英語ができない叔母でも楽しめました。
オアフ島沖の海底は珊瑚礁が少ないため、美しい海底も鮮やかな熱帯魚も見られませんでしたが、沈められた魚礁に集まった野生?の魚の様子を間近に見れて満足です。
I thought about going parasailing when I went to Hawaii, so I decided to participate! I was a bit anxious about whether I would understand the explanation in English, but they kindly made it clear for me, which put me at ease.
Being up in the sky feels amazing! Even someone like me, who has a bit of a fear of heights, enjoyed it thoroughly. If I ever go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to participate again. Just a heads up, though—there are no changing rooms, so be careful about that.
ハワイに行ったらパラセーリングと思って参加しました!
でも、どんな感じで空に浮かんで行くのか英語での説明わかるかなとか不安でしたが、親切にわかるようにして下さって 安心しました。
空の上はなんて気持ちがいいんでしょう!
高所恐怖症気味の私でも充分楽しめました。またハワイに行く事があれば、参加したいと思うくらい。
ただ、脱衣所とか無いので注意です。
The crew member was great at getting everyone excited, and my spirits were high! Then we took off and soared into the sky, and I was completely satisfied with my walk in the heavens!
クルーのおにいさんが盛り上げ上手でテンション上がる〜
そしてテイクオフして空に舞いあがり天空のお散歩大満足です!
You can enjoy a tribute show at Rock-a-Hula in Waikiki! While the Polynesian tours are more famous, it's located on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, making it easy to plan if you're staying in Waikiki since you can walk there! This time, we attended the premium cocktail show, and we had a great time from our seats on the second floor. If you want to interact with the cast, I recommend the dining option on the first floor, where the cast comes down from the stage to give out gifts, take photos, and perform right in front of you!
ワイキキでモノマネショーが観れるロックアフラ!ポリネシアンツアーとかのが有名ですが、ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階にありワイキキ宿泊なら徒歩で行けるので予定が組易いです!
今回はプレミアムカクテルショーでしたが、2階正面席で十分楽しめました。
キャストの方と触れ合いたいなら食事付きの1階席がいいと思います。キャストの方がステージから降りてきてプレゼントや写真、パフォーマンスを目の前でしてくれます!
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 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。
Unfortunately (or fortunately?), it seemed that the president was in town that day, causing quite a traffic jam. The bus was moving so slowly... It took over an hour to get from the airport to the hotel. I was also concerned that if I hadn't mentioned I wanted to go to this hotel, the bus might not have stopped. Anyway, it was quite nerve-wracking... I barely made it for hotel check-in. Also, since it was a domestic flight from the Big Island, I was the only Japanese person on board. I think it was late at night, but I would have felt more reassured if there had been Japanese staff available upon arrival.
この日は運悪く(良く?)大統領が来ていたらしくなかなかの渋滞っぷり。
そしてバスの速度が遅い遅い。。空港からホテル到着に1時間以上かかりました。
あとこのホテルに行きたい!という声をかけないと止まってくれなかったかもという懸念もありつつ・・・とにかくヒヤヒヤしました。。ホテルチェックインがギリギリだった。。
そしてハワイ島からの国内線だったからなのか日本人も私だけ。
夜遅かったのもあると思いますが日本人スタッフが到着の際にいてくれたら心強かったなぁと思いました。
I was immediately recognized when my name was called at the baggage claim after arrival. After waiting for about 10 minutes for others, I was quickly taken to the hotel, making the journey very smooth!
到着後のバッゲージクレームのところで名前を呼んでくれていてすぐわかりました。
その後も10分ほど他の人を待った後すぐにホテルまで送って頂きとてもスムーズにホテルまで来ることができました!
They arrived to pick me up about 10 minutes late. It was just before noon, but the roads were quite congested, and it took a total of about an hour to get to the airport from the scheduled pick-up time. However, taking a taxi would be quite expensive, so this option is reasonable and recommended.
ホテルには10分ほど遅れて迎えに来ました。お昼の12時前の時間でしたが道がかなり混んでおり迎えの予定時間から空港までトータル1時間はかかりました。
でもタクシーで行くとかなりお金もかかるのでリーズナブルでおススメです。
I had never used the shuttle service before, but there were no issues with the airport pickup or the hotel pickup. I felt a sense of security. I would like to use it again next time.
これまでシャトルサービスを利用したことがなかったけれど、空港でのピックアップ、ホテルでのピックアップともに問題なく。
安心感がありました。
次回もまた利用したいと思います。
My friend overslept and was late, but they waited until the last minute. The overseas guests who joined us were also very considerate and kind.
We enjoyed thrilling parasailing with upbeat music playing. It was a bit chilly due to the light rain, and to be honest, the scenery didn't compare to parasailing in Miyako Island, but we did see a rainbow, and there was a fun "splash in the sea" service, so we had a great time. The staff were also handsome! (laughs)
Thank you very much!
友人が寝坊して遅れる中、ギリギリまで待ってくれました。同乗した海外の方も気を遣っていただきとても良い方でした。
ノリノリの音楽を流しながらスリル満載のパラセーリング。
小雨が降っていたので少し肌寒く、正直景色は宮古島のパラセーリングには勝らなかったですが、虹もみれたし、海ポチャサービスもあってなかなか楽しめました。スタッフもイケメンでしたし!笑
ありがとうございました!
The tour varies significantly depending on the weather and wind strength. On the day I participated, there wasn't much wind, and it was sunny, so I had an amazing time! Both staff members couldn't speak Japanese, but they had great energy and made all four pairs participating have a fantastic experience! One thing, though, I was thinking of going up to 120 meters, but I wasn't specifically asked about it, so I'm not sure how high we actually went, haha. Well, I guess as long as you go up a certain height, it might not matter too much.
天候や風の強さによってかなり変わるツアーです。私が参加した日はそこまで風もなく、晴天でしたので最高に楽しめました!スタッフさんは2名とも日本語を話せない方でしたが、ノリが良く参加した4ペアともに最高に楽しませてくれました!1点だけ、高さは120でいこうと思っていたのですが、特に聞かれることもなく、結局何メートルまで上がっていたのかは不明でした、笑。まぁ何メートルでもある程度上がればそこまで気にならないかもしれないです。
The pickup location was easy to find, but I think the arrangements could be improved. We had to wait quite a while until departure. The air conditioning in the car wasn't very effective either.
送迎場所はわかりやすかったですが、段取り的にはイマイチかと思います。
結構出発までまたされました。車内も冷房の利きが良く無かったです。
