I was anxious about being late. I wondered if there was something like Hawaiian time, and I wasn't very satisfied! It might be tough if I can't speak English again!

時間に遅れてひやひやしました。ハワイ時間みたいなのがあるのかなぁ～と思い、あまり満足ではなかった！また英語がしゃべれなかったらきついかもしれません❗

When I moved from the outer islands to Oahu, they waited for me clearly at the airport baggage claim. They kindly guided me to the shuttle, and I would like to request their service again next time.

離島からオアフ島に移動した際に、空港荷物受取所でわかりやすく待っていてくれました。送迎車までとても親切に案内してくれて、次回もお願いしたいです。

I love it will recommend it to all my friends and family

I understand that it's a mixed-up vehicle, but we had to wait for about 30 minutes until everyone arrived. I thought it was a bit of a waste of time since we arrived at the airport early. It would have been nice if they had informed us in advance how many more minutes until departure. It was a bit disappointing that we were just a little short of 30 minutes, but other than that, the shuttle service was pretty standard. They also handled the loading and unloading of luggage carefully!

混同車なのでしょうがないのはわかりますが、人数がそろうまで私たちは30分くらい？待ちました。せっかく空港に早くついたのにちょっと時間がもったいなかったな～と思いました。
事前にあと何分くらいで出発しますねと教えてもらえたらよかったのですが、もうちょっと、もうちょっとで30分だったのがちょっと残念でしたが、それ以外は特に普通の送迎でした。
荷物の積み降しも丁寧にしてくれますよ！

The shuttle service was particularly good, and the driver was very kind. I would like to use it again when I go to Honolulu.

送迎サービスとして、特に問題なかったです。ドライバーさんもとても親切でした。またホノルルへ行く際には利用したいと思います。

I arrived first thinking I would get a good seat and waited in line for an hour, yet I was the last to get my meal, which is unbelievable!!! If you're going to serve meals in order of the tables, shouldn't you let the tables that arrived early go first? I had high expectations thinking it was Hilton, but I never want to go back again! I wanted to stay at Hilton too, but that's enough!!

良い席をと思い一番に行き、1時間も並んだにも関わらず、食事にありつけたのが一番最後とは有り得ない!!!(￣ヘ￣メ)（｀Δ´）テーブルの順番に食事を取りに行くんだったら、早く来たテーブルの順番に食事を取りに行かすべきではないでしょうか？ヒルトンだと思ってとても期待していたのに、もう二度といきたくありません！ヒルトンも泊まりたかったけど、もういいです!!

This was my second time, and I was really impressed by how similar they looked. It was my first time seeing Lady Gaga, and she was just like the real thing. I thought Michael looked a bit older, but he was still great. Next time I go, I want to see a different star's show!

今回で2回目 でしたが、ホントにそっくりで感激しました。レディガガは初めてでしたが、そっくりでした。マイケルは、ちょっと年をとったな～とおもいましたけど、やっぱり良かったでーす。次行くときは、また違ったスターのショーを見たいですね(^o^)

Great Boat Great music great views lots of sea turtles ......what more could you ask for

This is our fourth trip to Hawaii, and we are a couple in our 60s and late 50s. Until now, we have never experienced any attractions at the beach, mostly sticking to non-active optional tours like sightseeing in the North Shore, dinner cruises, Polynesian shows, and restaurants. Therefore, we were filled with anxiety about parasailing right up until the last minute!

Our departure time was for the 9 AM course (the second one after 9 AM that day), and the participants included a couple in their 60s, two Japanese women, a Japanese family of four, and us, totaling ten people along with two foreign guides. We boarded the motorboat and headed about 20 minutes offshore, where we paired up and attached parachutes to our backs to float up into the sky.

First, two young women took off, followed by the foreign couple, and everyone seemed to be handling it well. Finally, it was our turn; we attached the parachute to our life jackets and, in no time, we were 90 meters up. There was no wind at that height, and the view of the truly blue ocean below was amazing. In the end, we dipped our lower bodies into the water. The flying time was about 10 to 15 minutes. It was not scary at all and was the best moment!

The two foreign guides explained everything in English, but even someone like me, who hardly speaks English, could understand. They also took photos for us (for $30). I definitely want to try parasailing at 150 meters next time!

今回が4回目のハワイとなる６３歳と５０後半の夫婦です。これまで、海でのアトラクションの体験はなく、ほとんどノースショア観光、ディナークルーズ、ポリネシアンショー、レストランなどの体を動かさないオプショナルツアーばかりでした。
ですから、今回のパラセイリングは直前まで、不安でいっぱい!
私達の出発時刻は９時のコースで(当日の9時の次の２回目)、参加者は６０歳代の外人夫婦、二人連れの日本人女性、日本人の４人家族と私達の１０人と外人の案内人二人。モーターボートに乗りこみ、２０分ほど沖合に行き、左右二人一組の背中にパラシュートを付けて上空に浮き上がるわけです。
最初、若い女性二人組が飛び上がり、次が外人夫婦ペア、皆、簡単そうで何とかなりそうって感じに。いよいよ私達の番に、救命道具の背にパラシュートを付け、あっという間に９０メートル
上空では、風もなくほんとに青い海を真下に最高の眺め。最後は下半身ドボンしてもらい。飛んでる時間は１０分か１５分でしょうか。まったく怖くもなく最高のひとときでした。
ボートでは外人二人が英語で説明してくれましたが、ほとんど英語できない私でも理解できる程度、写真も撮ってくれて（30ドル)
是非、次回は150メートルの長さでパラセイリングしたいと思います。

This was arguably one of the best things we did this trip!! Our crew was AMAZING! So friendly, patient and helpful. I can't say enough good things. I've never snorkeled before, I'm not a strong swimmer so I kind of panicked when I was just our in open water even with the group. The crew member leading us to Turtle Canyon saw me struggling, came over and swam me there where I became just mesmerized by how close we were to the fish & turtles I calmed down enough to actually snorkel! She also took my camera down and got crazy awesome pictures. Food was great, drinks were delicious, the sail was beautiful. I cannot say enough good things about this excursion. Worth every penny! Cannot wait to snorkel again!

Our Transportation to Diamond Head was waiting for us as we exited the hotel about 5 minutes early. He was very nice and professional. He gave us good information about Diamond Head's history and the hiking trail. He returned, as promised, to pick us up and take us to Manoa Falls. Again he was very interesting and gave us info about the rain forest and the hike. Providing water and a hiking pole was very appreciated, and helpful. The company was very reliable, friendly and informative. We are in our 60's and were able to do both hikes in the same day.

I'm afraid of heights, but I wasn't scared at all. In fact, it was really fun to see views that I don't usually get to see. It starts suddenly, which is surprising, but you should definitely try it at least once.

高所恐怖症ですが、全く怖くありませんだした。むしろ普段見ない景色が見れて本当に楽しいです。
いきなり始まるのでびっくりしますが、一度は体験してみてください。

I waited a little, but I received the shell necklace. I would like to use this service again!
From Honolulu Airport to the hotel, we shared a ride with four groups.
From the hotel to Honolulu Airport, there were many people on a large bus.

少し待ちましたが、シェルネックレスを頂きました。また利用したいと思います！
ホノルル空港からホテルは4組であいのり。
ホテルからホノルル空港は大きなバスで沢山の方がいました。

There were a total of four groups for the ride. We waited a little until everyone gathered, but the staff put shell necklaces on each person. The honeymooners were wearing leis. There was a two-year-old with us, but the safe driving made us very satisfied.
Hotel → Honolulu Airport
It was about ten minutes past the meeting time, so I thought about inquiring, but then the vehicle arrived.
It was a large vehicle, but it was full due to the number of people.
We arrived more than two hours before departure, so we were able to relax.

乗車券したのは全部で4組でした。揃うまで少し待ちましたが、スタッフがシェルネックレスを一人一人掛けてくれました。ハネムーンの方はレイをかけてました。2歳児がいましたが、安全運転で大満足でした。

集合時間から10分過ぎようとしたので、問い合わせしようかな？と思ったら来ました。
大きな車だったけど人数が多く満席でした。
出発の2時間以上も前に着いたので安心して過ごせました。

We challenged ourselves with three friends, and it was surprisingly slow to ascend and descend, which was a hit with my friend who isn't a fan of thrill rides. It felt like a pleasant stroll in the sky, and I was truly impressed by the wonderful views from 150 meters! The staff were also very friendly and took plenty of photos for us. I highly recommend this tour when visiting Hawaii!

友人3人で挑戦しましたが、思ったよりゆっくりと上がってゆっくりと落ちるので絶叫系苦手な友人にも大好評でした。
気持ちいいお空の散歩という感じで、150mから見える景色の素晴らしさに感動しきりです！
スタッフの方もとてもフレンドリーで写真も沢山撮って頂きました。ハワイに行った際には是非おすすめしたいツアーです！

I wasn't very comfortable with heights, so I chose 90 meters, but once I was up there, I forgot my fear because of the beauty of the view. It was amazing to see the beautiful scenery while feeling the refreshing breeze!

高所はあまり得意ではなかったので、90mにしましたが、上がってしまえば景色の美しさに怖さも忘れます。爽快な風を感じながら美しい景色を見れるのが最高でした！！

We visited with our 2-year-old child and had a wonderful time. The staff were all very attentive, and we felt safe and comfortable even with a child.

2歳の子供連れでさんかさせてもらいましたが、とても楽しく過ごせました。スタッフも皆気が利いて、子供連れでも安心して過ごすことが出来ました。

I experienced parasailing for the first time at the age of 50. I was filled with anxiety about whether I could handle the height of 90 meters, but the chatty driver and the cheerful and kind atmosphere of the boat staff made me excited to take on the challenge. During the descent, we even touched the sea, which was so much fun that I truly felt it was worth it!

Although it wasn't a Japanese tour, there were no issues with gestures and words. In fact, since the participants in the English tour were all foreigners, the atmosphere was lively, and my worries disappeared as I enjoyed myself. I was also happy to have many photos taken for just $30. When I got off the boat, I tipped $20 for each of the two staff members.

50歳にして初めてのパラセイルを体験することに。90ｍの高さに耐えられるか不安でいっぱいでしたが、送迎ドライバーのマシンガントークと、船のスタッフの陽気で親切な雰囲気で
ワクワクチャレンジする気持ちが上回りました。途中降下して海につけられるのですが
それすらも楽しめる程とっても楽しかったです。本当にやってよかった！
日本語ツアーではないですが、ジェスチャーと単語で何の問題もありません。
むしろ英語ツアーで参加者も外国人だけだったので雰囲気も盛り上がり、不安も吹き飛んで
楽しめました。写真も30ドルでたくさん撮ってもらえてよかった。
握手して船を降りるときに、チップを20ドル×スタッフ2名分渡しました。

I participated in a certain popular dinner cruise on an optional tour two days ago, but it was a bit disappointing, and the weather wasn't great, so I made a last-minute reservation the day before. The cruise started at 1 PM, and the weather was perfect! We had a great time getting splashed with water occasionally.

There were no other Japanese participants besides our family, but it wasn't a problem at all. If you want to enjoy drinks on the yacht, please bring some cash. We only brought a plastic bag and a water bottle. The plastic bag was for storing our flip-flops when boarding the yacht; otherwise, we would have had to leave them on the sandy beach at the boarding area.

It feels amazing, so I recommend this over the certain dinner cruise! Since it can get hot, don't forget a hat or a hoodie. My husband and I didn't get seasick at all, but our middle school daughter felt a bit queasy towards the end.

オプショナルツアーで一番人気の某ディナークルーズに２日前に参加したのですが、ちょっと期待ハズレだったのとお天気に恵まれなかったので急遽前日に予約を入れて参加しました。13時からのクルーズでお天気最高！時々かぶる水しぶきにずぶ濡れになりながら楽しい時間を過しました。
日本人は私達家族の他は参加していませんでしたが特別困ることもなかったです。ヨットで飲み物を飲みたい方多少の現金を持って行って下さい。私達はビニール袋とペットボトルのみ持参で参加しました。ビニール袋はヨットに乗る時にビーチサンダルを入れるためです。でないとヨット乗り場の砂浜にビーチサンダルを置いていくハメになります。
最高に気持ちいいので某ディナークルーズに行くならこちらをオススメします！暑いので帽子かパーカーなどをお忘れなく。船酔いは私と主人は全くしませんでしたが、中学生の娘は後半に少し酔いました。

I boarded the boat as a visitor due to feeling unwell, but I had a very enjoyable time. I requested an SD card on board, and it had a lot of cuts, which made me feel like I got a great deal.

体調不良で見学者としてボートに乗り込みましたが、とても楽しい時間でした。SDカードを船上で頼みましたが、これも沢山のカットがあり、お得な気分になりました。

I invited a senior who loves fishing and splurged on the $91 option for a long time of enjoyment, but we returned to port by lunchtime after just a few hours, making it a disappointing cruise. I reflected that next time I need to do better research and confirm details in advance to make the most of our valuable time.

釣りが大好きな先輩を誘って長い時間楽しめる91ドルの方を奮発したのに、午前中でお昼には寄港し、物足りないクルーズでした。次回はもっと事前確認を良くして大事な時間を有意義に過ごせるように調べて申し込まなければいけないと反省しました。

The water clarity was so-so. You could somewhat see the ocean floor, but not clearly. There were some larger tropical fish, but don't expect too much. However, a sea turtle appeared right in front of me, which was an experience I hadn't had in previous snorkeling trips. I recommend this for those who want to see sea turtles. The location for check-in was a bit hard to find, and the staff member who guided us spoke only English, which made it a bit confusing. That's why I gave this rating, but if you're not concerned about these aspects and just want to see sea turtles, it's a good option.

水の透明度は、まーまーでした。海の底は何とか見えたり見えなかったりです。熱帯魚は大きめな魚がチヤホヤ程度で、期待はしてはいけませんが、ウミガメが目の前に現れました。これは今までのシュノーケリングには無かった経験でした。ウミガメを見たい方はお薦めです。受付の場所が分かりにくいのと、受付の案内をするお兄さんが英語のみで、わかりにくかったので、この評価にしましたが、この辺りを気にせずウミガメを見たい場合は手頃です。

I felt uncomfortable seeing the driver eating snacks while driving. Since they were eating snacks and drinking cola, they were obviously driving with one hand. It was unpleasant to witness such a lack of safety and professionalism.

ドライバーが、スナック菓子を食べながら運転していることに不快感を感じました。菓子を食べ、コーラを飲んでいるので、当然ながら片手運転です。安全性、プロ意識に欠ける行為に不快でした。

Went with another couple..I wasn't sure what to expect since I've never been on any type of tour via water and there were only a few reviews.

But we're so glad we did. The crew was fantastic! Josh cracked jokes and made us feel welcome. Brad and Karin (spelling?) were great to talk to...they refilled our drinks and also took pictures.

It was laid back, great atmosphere, and beautiful view. Can't wait to do it again!

We were so excited that we got to stay longer than others and even dropped three times! I think paying $30, including the SD card, for 100 to 140 photos is a great deal. It was my second time, but if I ride again, I would love to come back here!

私たちがとても盛り上がってたせいか、他の人たちよりも長く、かつ3回も落としてもらえました！写真も100枚～140枚撮ってもらえてSD代含め30ドルは安いと思います。2回目だったけどまた乗るならここがいいなと思いました！

I was just observing, but everyone seasoned the fish they caught deliciously, and I was able to eat it! We changed locations about three times every 40 minutes, and luckily, we were able to see dolphins too!

私は見学でしたが、みんなが釣った魚を美味しく味付けしてくれて食べることが出来ました！約40分ごとに3回程場所を変え、運良くイルカを見ることも出来ました！

This was everything the other positive reviews said it would be. The crew was patient and thorough in gearing you up and explaining what to expect. They explained what to do in the event of a number of potential issues. But just as importantly, they were friendly, clearly happy to be doing what they were doing and happy to have us aboard.

We got picked up by a fun shuttle driver who quickly got us to the dock and back to our hotel.

I highly recommend Hawaiian Parasail. A good value and a great activity in paradise!

It was my first time parasailing in Hawaii. I was a bit anxious about whether I would spin in the air because of the strong winds, but once I was up there, it felt amazing and I didn't feel any fear at all. The staff took photos for us, so I have another wonderful memory to cherish. I didn't even need to wear a swimsuit since I didn't get wet at all. They also taught us how to take off and land carefully. It was so much fun! Thank you!

ハワイでははじめてのパラセール。
風が強くて空中回転しないか⁉と不安もあったけれど　上がってみるととても気持ちがよく恐怖などなにも感じませんでした。　写真もスタッフが撮ってくれたので　楽しい素敵な思い出がまた一つ増えました。
水着着用の必要性は無いほど濡れる事もなかったです。離発着も丁寧に教えてくださいました。
楽しかった‼ありがとう

Unfortunately, on the day I arrived with my booking we were turned away, even though I had a printed booking for the trip and reference number. The Catamaran company had not had confirmation from Veltra sent through. They could have called to check but they did not seem interested in doing so. To be turned away was was embarrassing and disappointing as this was a birthday treat for that particular day.

We called Veltra and they did apologise for the misunderstanding and booked us on the next day. We had no issues the next day and I must say had a wonderful time. It was just lucky we had another free day.

Such an incredibly fun experience for the family! It helped that weather conditions were optimal during our adventure, but what made it complete was the friendly and professional staff and crew. They were all so engaging and took time to personally interact with all the guests. We felt completely safe at all times the view from above was amazing! I highly recommend Hawaiian Parasail.
