All Reviews for Family & Accessible Travel

It's been almost a week and I still can't get over it! Thank you so much VELTRA and Hawaiian Parasail for accommodating me and my family to parasail with you on Memorial Day! I know it was a holiday and I expected it to be extremely busy and I can't thank you enough that you were still able to get us in! Your staff were very friendly, just wonderful people!!
This was a surprise for my two daughters and we all had a blast! Nice weather, and fantaaaaaaaaastic view!!! Too bad husband and my son could not join us (my son is only 4) but I'll be sure to have them experience this as well when my son is old enough.

The captains are amazing! Kevin and Russell were so much fun, they made our day very relaxing and comfortable, great photographers too! The pictures came out really nice so thank you for capturing the moment we were up in the air, a memory that we will keep forever.

Thank you once again for giving us the opportunity to experience this, we enjoyed it very much!

We did the extreme and went up 1000 feet. What a great experience. Awesome crew, great energy on the boat, easy check in and absolutely beautiful sights. This was my 2nd time with Extreme Parasailing, I'm going to continue to bring all my friends who come on vacation here to parasail with these great guys. Thank you for a memorable experience.

I took a ride on the Atlantis at the end of the year.

Before boarding, the staff took a photo with Diamond Head in the background. You can purchase that photo as a large print on the way back for $20 or more, and you can also share it for free using a URL. The photo frame was cute, so I recommend it.

Depending on the season, I wasn't able to see sea turtles or notable fish, which was disappointing. However, I enjoyed the underwater guidance from the local guide, whose Japanese was a bit shaky. The repeated phrase "Jinko no San Goshou" and the corny jokes stuck in my head throughout the trip, and I still laugh when I think about it.

Also, while waiting to board the submarine, there were quite a few Japanese people who were feeling seasick. The boat had vomit bags available, but for those who are prone to motion sickness, I think it would be better to take anti-nausea medication or find ways to avoid getting sick.

年末にアトランティスに乗ってきました。

乗車前に、スタッフの方がダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに
写真をとってくださいました。そのデータは、大きな写真として帰りの船内で
買うこともできる（20ドル〜）し、URLを使えば無料でシェアできました。
写真立てが可愛かったので、オススメです。

季節にもよるのでしょうが、ウミガメやめぼしいお魚を見ることができず、
そこは残念でした。ただ、日本語がたどたどしい現地ガイドさんの、
潜水艦での案内が楽しかったです。たびたび繰り返される
「ジンコーノーサンゴショー」と寒いギャグが旅中耳から離れず、
思い出すと今でも笑ってしまいます。

また、潜水艦に乗るのを待っている間、船酔いを
している日本人の方が、結構な数いらっしゃいました。
船には、ゲロ袋もありましたが、酔いやすい方は、
酔い止めの薬や、酔わないような工夫をされたほうがよいかと思います。

I also used the shuttle from the airport to Waikiki, and at that time, it was a slightly larger van that could accommodate about 15 people. However, on the return trip, it was what you would call a large limousine bus. The design of the bus was different, so I was momentarily confused. When I told the driver the voucher and destination, he kindly guided me. By the way, I didn't see the shuttle design that is listed on this site. It seems that they change the vehicle depending on the time and the number of reservations.

空港からワイキキも利用したのですが、
その時は１５人くらい乗れる少し大きめのワゴンだったのに、
帰りはいわゆる大きなリムジンバス。バスのデザインも違うので、
一瞬戸惑いました。
運転手の人にバウチャーと行き先を告げると親切に案内してくれるのですが。
ちなみに、このサイトに掲載されているデザインのシャトルは見なかったです。
時間帯と予約人数によって、手配する車両を変えるようですね。

We did the Diamond Head and Manoa Falls hikes. Both were very different and beautiful in their own ways. We are glad we did the Diamond Head hike in the early hours and were able to do the Mania Falls hike during the heat of the day since it was a cooler hike. Advice: take plenty of bug spray for the Manoa Falls hike! And as a side note, Romero our tour driver was fantastic! He told us some local history and gave us advice on places to go and eat.

It's cheap and the reservation process is easy! The driver was kind, which was great. I think it's a very convenient mode of transportation for those traveling alone.

安いし、予約も簡単！
運転手も優しいかたで良かった。
お一人で行動される方にとってはとても便利な交通手段だと思います。

The day after arriving in Hawaii, I had a parasailing reservation for 8 AM, so I was excitedly waiting at the designated hotel around 7 AM. The pickup time was 7:10, but even after 5 minutes and then 10 minutes, no one showed up. The reservation details mentioned to call the local office if no one arrived after 10 minutes, but the next item stated that the local office opened at 7:30. Even after that time passed, no one came, and eventually, when the hotel front desk called xtremeparasail, they said there was no reservation for 8 AM that day. My excitement about being in Hawaii vanished, and I felt down, wondering who was lying. The only availability was the day before I was set to leave, so I had them make a reservation for that day at the front desk. The parasailing experience itself was amazing, but I wish the local office had communicated more effectively.

ハワイについた翌日に8時からのパラセーリングに予約していたので 指定ホテルで ウキウキドキドキしながら 7時ころから 待ってました。ピックアップ時間は7時10分でしたが 5分たっても10分たってもきません。予約の詳細には10分たってもこなかったら 現地事務所に電話するように書いてありましたが その次の項目に現地事務所の開始時間は7時半からと書いてありました。半になってもこなくて結局宿泊ホテルのホテルのフロントから xtremeparasailにかけてもらうと その日の8時からの予約は入ってなかったとのこと。ハワイついて ウキウキの気持ちはふっとびました、 どちらが嘘ついてると暗い気持ちでした。帰る前日しかあいてなく フロントでその日に予約いれてもらいました。パラセーリング自体は最高でした、が 現地事務所ともう少ししっかりやりとりして欲しいと思いました。

It was Awesome, staff was Nice and made sure we were safe. Had lots of fun.

The bus arrived a little earlier than scheduled. It was speedy and efficient. The seats were comfortable, and we reached the airport in no time. I would like to use it again.

時間より少し早くバスが到着。スピーデイで無駄がなかったです。バスもゆったり座れてあっという間に空港へ。また利用したいです。

It was a good sailing and snorkeling activity.
It could be better with some more time snorkeling and maybe in different places with more fish variety.

Enjoyed it very much. Saw several sea turtles and were given a nice catamaran cruise. Well organized and led.

What I always use is cost and convenience. Unless there is a significant issue, the pickup usually arrives at the scheduled time. Depending on the road conditions at that time, we may take the highway or use regular roads, but there are no special delays that cause problems.

いつも利用しているのは費用と利便性です。　よほどのことが無い限りほぼ予定の時刻にピックアップが来ます。　空港へはその時の道路事情ですぐに高速になったり一般道路を利用したりですが特別遅れて困りることはありません。

The pickup was almost on schedule when we arrived at the hotel, and although the road was congested, it was enjoyable to pass through areas where we could walk around the city while detouring.

ピックアップはほぼ予定通りでホテルにつきましたし、道が混んでいましたが迂回する中で街歩きしたところを通っていたので楽しかった。

They arrived on time to pick me up, and I reached the airport with plenty of time to spare. Everything was accurate, and they handled my suitcase with care, which was great.

時間通りに迎えにきていただき、余裕を持って空港へ到着。正確だし、スーツケースの取り扱いなども丁寧で良かった。

The guys running the catamaran were friendly and fun, and the cruise itself was beautiful and relaxing (once you get used to the movement of the boat). Was very easy to chat with other people and make friends on the boat. If I ever get back to Waikiki, I'll absolutely be on the Holokai again! Thanks for a fun time!

The crew (Captain Ryan, Philippe, and Erica) were awesome! Super FUN tribe of professionals. The excursion itself was amazing, even for a short trip to see the turtles. I was very impressed with how the crew worked with people who weren't strong swimmers-- very gentle and encouraging. An overall awesome excursion-- I highly recommend!

I participated in Hawaii for the first time with my relatives, and although I was filled with anxiety due to the many unknowns, the clarity of the pickup process made things easier. Even though the roads were congested, I felt a sense of accomplishment when the route I remembered from walking around the city matched up.

初めてのハワイで親戚と一緒に参加しましたが、知らないことだらけで不安がいっぱいでしたが、ピックアップの判りやすさと、道は混んでいたけれど街歩きで覚えていた経路が一緒だった時には何となく得したような感じが。

I always ask Mr. Roberts for the shuttle. Since it's just transportation, I shouldn't expect too much, but at least the price performance is excellent.

いつもシャトルはロバーツさんにお願いしています。
送迎だけなので余り高望みをしてもいけないでしょうが、少なくとも価格パフォーマンスは最高でしょう。

I watched this show when it first opened with another friend, and it seemed that some of the cast had changed, but I still enjoyed it. The friends I traveled with this time were visiting Hawaii for the first time and said they were happy and had a great time.

このショーが オープニングしたばかりの時にも 別の友人と見ましたが
出演者？も 多少入れ替わったようでしたが 変わらず楽しめました。
今回 同行した友人達は ハワイ初めてで 喜んで 楽しかったと言っていました。

I made a reservation in Japan before departure. They were supposed to pick us up in front of the hotel. Even after 10 minutes and then 20 minutes, they didn't arrive... After confirming by phone at the front desk, another 15 minutes passed...

It seems they were delayed because there was a large event happening in Waikiki at that time, but then the person in charge rushed over looking flustered. For a while, they were making phone calls and seemed quite confused. We hurriedly carried our suitcases and golf bags to the bus stop, which was about a 5-minute walk...

In the end, it was just the four of us—my husband and I, along with an elderly couple from abroad—who were taken directly to the airport in a large tour bus. The immigration line was also very long, and by the time we got through, it was already boarding time. All in all, I was relieved to finally return to Japan, but I was on edge the whole time.

出発前に日本で予約していきました。ホテル前でピックアップしてくれる予定でした。10分経っても20分経っても来ない････。フロントで電話確認してもらい、さらに15分過ぎ････。
丁度ワイキキ市内で大規模なイベントが開催されてたから遅れたのでしょうが、その後担当者が血相を変えて駆けつけてきました。暫くは電話をかけまくってましたが、かなり混乱していました。歩いて5分くらいのバス乗り場までスーツケースとゴルフバックを駆け足で運び････。
結局、私達夫婦と外国の老夫婦の計4人だけで大型観光バスで空港まで直行してくれました。
入国審査も大行列で、抜けた頃にはもう搭乗時間になってました。何はともあれ、何とか日本に戻って来れてホッとしましたが、ドキドキしっぱなしでした。

Under clear skies, we headed out to Waikiki with 10 participants and 2 staff members. It was supposed to be a fun aerial walk with lively foreigners and efficient staff, but I ended up feeling seasick. I wanted to enjoy it longer, so I chose the 150m option, but I regretted it... I asked to be brought down quickly. The atmosphere was very nice, though.

快晴の中、参加者10人と2人のスタッフでワイキキ沖へ。
のりのりの外人さんとテキパキしたスタッフで楽しい空中散歩のはずが、船酔いで大変でした。せっかくなので長く楽しみたいと150ｍにしましたが後悔・・・・早くおろして貰いました。
雰囲気はとても良かったです。

great company, great people. was our 35th anniversary and wanted it to do something different. was so worth it. wife was nervous at first, but once in the air it was so calm, relaxing and fun. told the driver to go ahead and get us wet in the ocean, and boy did he. would recommend doing this in hawaii, and especially with this company. they had our interest and safety in mind the entire time, and were a riot to be with. would absolutely do this again. thanks for the great memories.

The crew is absolutely great and a very friendly bunch! Highly recommended!

This was one of the best things I did, It was beyond Great !

Wow what a great show. Luau and ledgends so much fun! I highly recomend for the whole family.

Usually, there are no problems, but this time there were various issues. The delay of the shuttle and the overbooking of the small van were a bit tiring. These things can happen.

いつもは炉ラブルなどないんだけど、今回はいろいろ有った。送迎車の遅延にオーバーブッキングとなる小さなバンはちょっと疲れた。こんなこともあるでしょう。

It was a long-awaited trouble. It was explained as Big Bus, but the pickup took a long time to arrive, and the van that seemed to be contracted was completely full, resulting in some people being left behind. It was my first trouble.

久しぶりのトラブルでした。Big Busと説明だったがなかなかお迎えが来なくて、契約と思われるバンでぎっしりと満員、積み残しが出る状況でした。初めてのトラブルでした。

The boat crew for the parasailing consisted of two people. The captain appeared very trustworthy, and I felt comfortable entrusting the operation of the boat to him. On the other hand, the staff who helped us with the parachute was cheerful and took us up to 150 meters above the sea in a fun way.

It was amazing.

However, there was a mention of some cash in the explanation, so don't forget to tip the boat captain and staff, as well as the tip when paying for the SD card that had the photos taken during the parasailing.

パラシュートを引っ張るボートの乗組員は2人。
キャプテンは見た目誠実そうで、ボートの操縦を安心して、任せられるお人柄。
一方、パラシュートを上げてくれるスタッフは陽気で、私たちを楽しく海上150メートルまで上げてくれました。

最高でした。

ただ、説明で少々の現金とありましたが、
ボートのキャプテンとスタッフに渡すチップと

代金を払うときのチップをお忘れなく。

The shuttle car was over an hour late, which was very troublesome. After contacting them multiple times, the car finally arrived. The surfing lesson itself was enjoyable.

送迎の車が１時間以上遅れ大変困りました。
何度も連絡してやっと車が来ました。
サーフィンのレッスン自体は楽しかったです。

we had a great time. people were very helpful and courteous. I would suggest everyone try it. thanks
