This was an awesome thing to do with the kids....the underwater shipwrecks etc. were amazing to see.

I tend to get seasick, so I was a bit worried, but there was no problem at all. It was mystical to see the turtles swimming and the schools of fish. Also, the view of the coastal hotels when returning from the sea was lovely. I think it's a sight you don't get to see often!

船酔いするタイプなので、ちょっと心配でしたが全く問題ありませんでした。
亀が泳ぐ姿や魚の群れが見れて神秘的でした。
また、沖から戻る際に見えた海岸ホテル群の景色が素敵です。なかなか見れない景色だと思いますよ！

Great crew. Beautiful day. Beautiful catamaran! Wish I could've done the Sunset Cruise as well.

This was my third experience, so I didn't have the strong impression I had the first time, but my friends who experienced it for the first time seemed to find it fresh and were very happy. They shared that it was a top-class event during our seven-night stay in Hawaii. As the one who invited them on this trip, I felt very pleased about that. Since it was muddy from the rain, the horses were slipping, which seemed to add to the thrill.

私自身は３度目の体験ですので、最初の時の強い印象はありませんが、今回初めて体験した友人夫婦には新鮮であったようでとても喜んでくれました。今回の７泊のハワイでのイベントのトップクラスと感想を伝えてくれました。その事が、今回の旅行を誘った私としては嬉しく思います。雨でぬかるんでいたため、馬が足を滑らせていたため、余計スリルに溢れていたようです。

When we went on the Waikiki Glass Bottom tour in Hawaii for our 25th anniversary, we were greeted very warmly and we felt very welcomed. Although it was raining, we still felt comfortable because of the crew and were offered free drinks. During the boat ride, we saw coral, tropical fish, and even sea turtles! We took lots of pictures of the stunning scenery of Waikiki and the Diamond Head. The crew also explained the history of Waikiki and made the tour more interesting so that every moment was enjoyable. Next time we come to Hawaii, we will definitely be going on the tour again. We highly recommend this great vacation tour for anyone travelling with friends, family, or as a couple.

After arriving at the airport, I had to wait nearly 20 to 30 minutes before getting on the bus. It might have been due to the flight arriving late, but it seemed like there were no buses coming to the airport, and I ended up waiting quite a while. The staff providing information were also inefficient, leaving passengers stranded in the airport, which was frustrating. Even with the same Roberts, it really depends on the staff... it's disappointing.

空港に到着後、バスに乗るまでに20分から30分近く待たされました。
飛行機の到着が定刻から遅れたせいもあるかも知れませんが、空港にバスが来ていない？らしく、かなり待たされました。
案内のスタッフも、手際が悪く、客だけで空港内に放置され、イライラしました。
同じロバーツでも、やっぱり、スタッフ次第ですね…残念です

The meeting place is at the ocean side exit of the Outrigger Reef Hotel. From there, head left along the beach until you reach the area with an orange umbrella and a flag with the tour company's name on it. It's quite hard to find. When I arrived before the meeting time of 2:30, I was told that the boat hadn't arrived yet, and we would meet again at 2:45. After waiting a bit longer, we finally set sail around 3:15. There were a group of ladies typical of Western tourists, a few couples, and families on board. The announcements on the boat were only in English. I had imagined a boat speeding through the blue sea, but it was more about enjoying drinks and music at a leisurely pace. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, and instead of the blue sea, it rained at times, which was disappointing, but overall, it was still a pleasant experience. The ladies seemed to have a great time requesting their favorite songs and dancing.

集合場所はアウトリガーリーフホテルの海側の出口から出て砂浜を左に進み、オレンジのパラソルと催行会社名の入った旗が壁に貼ってあるところです。結構わかりにくいです。集合時間の2:30より前に行ったところ船がまだ来ないから45分にまた集合と言われ、再度行きましたがそこからもだいぶ待ちました。出航したのは結局15時15分頃だったかな？欧米人らしいおばさま集団と、数組の夫婦、ファミリーなど。船内の案内は英語のみです。青い海を風をきって走る船をイメージしてたのですが、ゆっくり走りながらお酒と音楽を楽しむ、というものでした。天候に恵まれず青い海どころか雨が降ったりしたので残念ですが、それなりに気持ちは良かったです。おばさま方は好きな曲をリクエストして踊ってとっても楽しそうでしたよ。

It was my first time in Hawaii and my first time parasailing, and it felt absolutely amazing. I chose the 150m option. I usually can't handle thrill rides and have a slight fear of heights, but being over the ocean made it not matter; the feeling and excitement outweighed any fear, so I wasn't scared at all. Crossing a suspension bridge in VR was scarier for me. My wife tends to get motion sickness, and even though she took motion sickness medication, she still felt nauseous.

初めてのハワイ、初めてのパラセーリングでしたが、最高に気持ちよかったです。
150mを選びました。絶叫系ダメ、若干高所恐怖症でしたが、海の上だと気にならないというか、気持ち良さ、や興奮が上回るのでまったく怖くなかったです。VRで高いところで吊り橋渡る方が怖かった。。
嫁は酔いやすい体質で、酔い止め飲んでいましたが酔っていました。

Although I had a little surfing experience in Japan, it was my first time riding waves in Waikiki, especially on a reef! At 49 years old and lacking in stamina, I was exhausted from paddling! During those times, the kind and strong Adam helped me by pulling my board with his feet multiple times! Thanks to Adam, I was able to catch many great waves! Thank you so much! (*^^*)

日本で少しだけサーフィン経験はあったものの、ワイキキ、しかもリーフで波に乗るのは初めて！
49歳、体力の無い私はパドリングで力を使いクタクタに！そんな時優しく力強いアダムさんが足でボードを引っ張り何度も助けてくれました！アダムさんのおかげで、たくさんいい波に乗れました！本当にありがとう(*^^*)

As I read in the reviews, I changed into my swimsuit, grabbed a towel and a few belongings, and headed to the pickup location. I was loaded onto the trolley and signed a paper with the parasailing instructions.

After checking in at the yacht harbor near Ala Moana, we departed with a mix of Japanese and foreign participants, a total of 12 people in 6 groups. Two young guys operated the boat and prepared for parasailing.

After a short while, we took turns putting on the parasailing belts and life jackets. Once the parachute was fully opened and the belts were connected, we gradually ascended into the sky.

The view from above was incredible. Unlike amusement park attractions, being suspended in the middle of the sea and sky, looking down at the unobstructed view of Waikiki Beach, was truly magnificent!

The 10-minute flight was refreshing, with just a little swaying as the boat turned. This kind of experience is part of Hawaii's charm. I definitely want to participate in other activities again!

書き込みで見たように水着に着替え、タオルとわずかな荷物を持ち、ピックアップ場所に行きました。トロリーに乗せられ、パラセーリングの注意事項を書いた紙に署名しました。
アラモワナ近くのヨットハーバーで受付を済ませ、日本人、外国人混載で6組12人を乗せてボートは、ヨットハーバーを出発。
若いお兄さんが二人でボートの運転とパラセーリングの準備をします。
しばらく進んだところで、二人ずつ順番にパラセーリングのベルトを装着し、救命胴着を着せられます。パラシュートが十分に開きベルトが繋がれ、徐々に上空へとロープが伸びていきます。
上空からの見晴らしは最高です。遊園地のアトラクションとは、違い、海と空の真っ只中に放り出され、何も遮るものの無いワイキキのビーチを見下ろす景観は、とても素晴らしかった！！
ボートが旋回する際に揺れるくらいで10分ほどの空の旅は、爽快そのものです。
こんな経験が出来るのもハワイの魅力です。是非、また、他のアクティビティに参加したいです。

The Rock-a-Hula Show was fun!! I thought it would just be an impersonation, but the quality was very high and I was satisfied. The food was described as delicious, so I had high expectations, but it felt like what you might find on a typical tour. It might be nice to have partitioned plates. The hula was just okay.

ロックアフラショーは、楽しかったです!!
ただのモノマネかと思っていましたが、とてもクオリティも高く満足でした。
ごはんは、美味しいと書いてあったので期待しすぎてしまいましたがツアーによくありそうな感じでした。仕切りのお皿があるといいかもしれないです。
フラは、普通かなー。

What a fun, fast excursion located near Waikiki! We did the 9 AM tour in the morning and it was clear and sunny! The crew has the system down to get all parties in/out of the harness easily and having a great time. They even offered to take pictures and videos for $30 extra which we took advantage of. We had a great time parasailing, and was off to our next adventure!

Great time, great crew, stunning scenery. They don't overcrowd the boat so there is plenty of room to move around. The crew makes the evening entertaining by socializing and they take pictures on request.

This is my third time in Hawaii, and I attended the show on the last night. This was my first time seeing the show, and the impersonator of Celine Dion had a wonderful singing voice. In particular, the segment about Elvis reminded me of watching the live broadcast in Honolulu on TV when I was in middle school, and it was very moving. This show is not just an impersonator show; it can be enjoyed as an entertainment show, and I believe it is worth attending at least once.

ハワイは３回目ですが，最後の日の夜に参加しました。
このショーは初めてですが，

This was our first time to parasail and we had a great time. The crew were friendly, skilled and professional. We highly recommend Hawaiian Parasail. We can't wait to go again!

It was my first experience. Watching others made me feel anxious and scared, but when I actually experienced it myself, it felt like time stood still while floating, and the view was absolutely wonderful. I was glad to have a panoramic view of Waikiki. I also purchased the CD with the photos, and they took such beautiful pictures, so it became a great memory.

初めての体験でした。
ほかの人がしてるのを見てると不安と怖さが出てきましたが、いざ自分が体験すると浮いてる時間が止まってるみたいな感じでとても素晴らしい眺めでした。
ワイキキを一望できて良かったです。
写真のCDデータも購入し、とても綺麗な写真を撮ってくれていたので、いい思い出になりました。

We had our annual trip to Hawaii as a couple, and we spotted parasailing in the sky over Waikiki, so we quickly searched online. We were able to make a reservation for the next day, so we signed up right away. The on-site check-in was conducted in Japanese, but the boat crew spoke only English. However, they explained everything in a cheerful and easy-to-understand manner, so as long as you know some basic English words, it’s not a problem. The experience of flying itself is just so much fun!! The views are great, and the feeling of floating is perfect; there was nothing scary about it. If you have the time, I definitely recommend giving it a try. If there’s availability that day, it seems you can even go for another flight!

夫婦二人での恒例のハワイ旅行、ワイキキの空にパラセイリングが見えたので急遽NETで検索。翌日の予約を受けてもらえたので早速申込み。当日の現地受付は日本語でしてもらえましたが、船のクルーは英語オンリー。でも陽気に分かりやすく説明してもらえるので、簡単な英単語さえわかれば問題ありません。飛ぶ事自体はとにかく楽しい!!景色も良いし、浮遊感もばっちり、なにも怖いことはありませんでした。時間がある方はぜひ体験してください。
その日空いていれば、もう一本飛ぶ事もできるみたいですよ♪

I went fishing in Hawaii for the first time.
I encountered a nice breeze and fish in the best weather Hawaii has to offer.

初めてハワイでフィッシングしました。
ハワイ最高の天気の中、気持ちがいい風と魚達に出会えました(^.^)

We would like to thank the staff of veltra for their outstanding services with helping making our dream vacation a reality, we really enjoyed the Parasail - the staff on the boat were perfect, they took photo which was very nice and then the kids got a little dip at the end which put big smiles on their faces.

Thanks Again

My son and I challenged ourselves to 90. The time was just right—not too long or too short—and we were able to record a video. I was very satisfied with the SD handover.

息子と二人で90にチャレンジしました。
時間も長すぎず短すぎず動画も撮ってもらえて
SD渡しととても満足でした。

It was our first time experiencing the glass bottom boat tour. Although it wasn't what I was expecting from the title of the tour, but it was fun. The boat consisted of boxes with glass bottom you can look down to see underneath the boat. During the shallow parts of the water, you can see fishes and of course it's not a guarantee on what or what not you would see. But, wish we would have seen more!

The captain and his partner were friendly and nice. We went during the first tour at 9am, so we basically had the entire boat to roam around with another family. They offer drinks (water, bud light, soda) and restroom on board, which was great!

We were also lucky with the day that we went. It was sunny but during some parts of the tour, the clouds covered the sun, so the breeze was nice. So all in all, it was a fun experience.

I had read various things about the pickup, so I went to the pickup location early, feeling a bit anxious. The bus arrived 10 minutes earlier than scheduled, so I spoke in broken English to mention that one of the members hadn't arrived yet, and they agreed to wait.

This was everyone's first experience with parasailing, and we unexpectedly challenged ourselves to 150 meters. I had thoroughly read the experiences beforehand and felt like I could manage it, but when it came time for the actual event, I felt a rush of nerves. After putting on the harness and holding the rope tightly, we were lifted into the air, gradually gaining altitude.

With the blue sea and the pleasant breeze, any fear I had seemed to disappear... It was a fun aerial stroll. I’m not sure how long we were up there, but it was a striking activity that provided a unique experience.

The boat ride was also quite fast and had a lot of up-and-down movement, so if you're prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication beforehand.

The staff also said in Japanese, "If you enjoyed it, please consider tipping," which made it easy to give a tip with confidence.

As for the photos, my family members took plenty, so I didn’t purchase any.

ピックアップのことがいろいろ書いてあったので、不安をかかえながら早めにピックアップ場所に行きました。予定より１０分早くバスが来たので、まだメンバーのひとりが来ていないことをカタコトの英語で話し、待ってもらいました。
今回、皆初体験のパラセーリング。そしてまさかの１５０Mに挑戦。
事前に体験談を熟読し、何とかいけそうということで申し込んだものの、いざ本番になると緊張が走りました。ベルトをつけ、しっかりロープを持って、上空へヒューと次第に高度を上げていきます。
海の青さ、心地よい風にあおられながら、恐怖心も何処へやら・・・
楽しい空中散歩ができました。何分ぐらい上空にいたのかわかりませんが、異空間体験ができたインパクトの強いアクティビィティでした。
移動中のボートもスピード感があり上下動が激しいので、船酔いしやすい人は薬を飲んでいた方がいいかもしれません。
チップもスタッフの方が日本語で「楽しんでいただけたら、チップお願いします。」と言われたので安心して渡せました。
写真は、身内の者が撮りまくったので、購入してません。

This glass bottom boat trip gives one a new view to look at while experiencing a cruise. Not only is the view amazing but you get to see a side of wild life you don't usually get to look at. We got to see a few different types of fish and a number of turtles.
Our captain and his partner were also hugely helpful. Answering all questions and giving us interesting information on the sea and boat life here in Waikiki. But do understand, you can't control wild life, so some days or seasons might be better to go than others. And while what wild life you see may depend on a number of different things, the view is always enjoyable and relaxing.

It was a reliable company, so I felt安心して移動できた. They came right to the front of the hotel, making the移動もラクチンであった. I would like to use their services again in the future.

しっかりした会社なので安心して移動できた。ちゃんとホテルの前まで来てくれて移動もラクチンであった。これからも利用したい。

It was a reliable company, so I felt safe traveling. It's customary to tip the staff who helped with my luggage. There were many users from the mainland United States as well.

しっかりした会社なので安心して移動できた。荷物を運んでくれたスタッフにはチップをあげるのがマナー。アメリカ本土の利用者もたくさんいた。

The show was great!!! Michael Jackson..was on point... I would definitely recommend this show and watch it again.

It was a very valuable experience since it was the first time for the whole family on a submarine. The guide also made jokes in Japanese, so we had a fun time throughout. It was a bit disappointing that there weren't many fish, though.

家族全員が初めての潜水艦だったのでとても貴重な体験ができました、ガイドの方も日本語で冗談を交えて案内してくれたので終始楽しい時間でした、魚があまりいなかったのが少し残念でした。。

The wind and scenery on the boat ride were amazing. The captain's performance added great value to the experience. That day, there were only three groups including us, so it ended in just a little over an hour. I wish we could have stayed on longer! It was quite bumpy, so motion sickness medication is a must.

After reading reviews from everyone here, I thought I would challenge myself to the 120 meters since I’m relatively okay with heights, so I signed up. However, I personally dislike roller coasters and find them scary. On the day of the event, the strong winds due to the typhoon made it quite frightening.

At the 120-meter mark, it felt like I was on a trapeze in mid-air. Taking off and landing were exhilarating, so next time I’d like to try the 45 meters or 90 meters!

行き帰りの船の風と景色が最高です。船長のパホーマンスもあり、それだけで充分の価値があります。
その日は私達を合わせて３組だったので、1時間と少しで終わりました。もっと乗って居たかったな〜！かなり揺れるので、酔い止めは必須です。
ここの皆さんの口コミを読んで、せっかくなら１２０メートルに挑戦！と高所は割と平気だったので、申込みしました。ただ、ジェットコースターは怖くて嫌いな私。当日は台風の影響で強風のことも手伝い、かなり怖かったです。
１２０メートルの地点で空中ブランコをしている感じです。飛び立つ時と降りる時は快感だったので、次回は４５メートルか９０メートルで楽しみたいです！

The instructors were amazing and extremely patient! They made surfing very easy and fun for us. It was all of our first time surfing and it won't be the last!

On the last day before returning home, I participated at 10:30 AM, with plans to check out of the hotel at 10:00 AM and leave Waikiki before 3:00 PM for my 6:35 PM flight.

The pickup location at Sheraton Waikiki Hotel is in a different zone from the main drop-off area and bus landing area, so I was glad I asked the hotel staff for directions. They arrived before the scheduled time, and we departed on time.

I chose the 150-meter height. It was amazing! I would definitely want to try the 300-meter if it were available.

The motion sickness medication worked well, and the cruise was refreshing throughout, including the waiting time. I realized how important sun protection is; it might actually be more comfortable on cloudy days.

I’m not interested in commemorative photos, so I didn’t use the photography service. Instead, I took some pictures of the scenery with my waterproof smartphone in a waterproof film case with a neck strap.

Feeling good, I gave a $20 tip to the boat staff, and they were very happy. I also gave a $1 tip to the cheerful driver (it was the only small amount I had).

帰国する最終日。10時ホテルチェックアウト、18時35分フライトのために15時前にワイキキを去る、という予定の間の10時30分に参加しました。
シェラトンワイキキホテルでのピックアップ場所は、正面送迎エリアやバスランディングエリアとは違うゾーンなので、ホテルスタッフに場所を聞いて良かったです。
約束時間前に迎えに来ていて定刻に出発でした。
高さは150Mを選択。最高です！！300Mがあったらぜひトライしたい。
船酔い対策は薬が効いてくれて、待ち時間を含め終始クルーズが爽快でした。
日焼け対策が重要だったと思い知りました。曇天の場合むしろ快適かも。
記念写真に興味がないので撮影サービスは利用せず、
防水スマホを防水フィルムケースネックストラップに入れて風景を自分で少し撮影しました。
気持ち良い気分でチップを船のスタッフに20ドル渡しました。とても喜んでくれました。
陽気なドライバーの方にもチップを1ドル(しか少額がなかった)を渡しました。
