All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

Please participate thinking of it as an attraction rather than a cocktail cruise. Once we set sail, they serve Mai Tais, and there is an all-you-can-drink option, but the conditions make it hard to enjoy. We continue to pass through areas with high waves, causing the boat to rock, making it difficult to drink or take photos. The splashes from the waves are intense, so it's not a good situation for enjoying drinks or capturing pictures. Also, not wearing a swimsuit was a mistake, as I couldn't fully enjoy the splashes of water. I highly recommend participants come in swimsuits. If you think of it as an attraction in swimwear, you can have a great time, but if you’re looking for a relaxing experience as a couple, it could turn out to be quite challenging, so please be careful.

まずカクテルクルーズと思わずにアトラクションと思って参加してください。
出航したらマイタイを振る舞ってくれ、その後も飲み放題ですが、とても飲める状況にはありません。波の高いポイントを通り続けるので、船が揺れてそれどころではありません。また波の飛沫が激しいので、お酒も写真も撮れる状況にありません。また水着じゃなかったのが失敗で、水飛沫も満喫できませんでした。参加する人は是非水着で参加してください。
水着でのアトラクションと思えば非常に満喫できますが、夫婦でまったりと考えたら大変なことになるのでお気をつけてください。

I participated with three friends, and we were debating who should go alone, but they let all three of us take off into the sky together☆

The view was amazing, and it felt really great☆彡
The usual "butt drop" was also very enjoyable(^^)

友人三人で参加して誰を一人にするか悩んでいたのですが、三人で一緒に空へ飛び立たせてくれました☆

眺めも最高でめっちゃ気持ち良かったです☆彡
お決まりのお尻ドボンも気持ち良かったです(^^)

The sunset was really beautiful, and it became a great memory. I got a little tipsy, so I could only drink one cocktail. If you're prone to getting drunk easily, it's definitely a good idea to have some motion sickness medication.

夕陽がとってもきれいで、良い思い出になりました。ちょっと酔ってしまったのでカクテルが1杯しか飲めませんでした。酔いやすいかたは、やはり酔い止め必須かもです。

Guys were super friendly, the drinks were good and the view was awesome!!! It's worth the $

It was my first time in Hawaii, and I ended up acting at the last minute on the day of my visit, but I was able to easily find the place located between Halekulani and Sheraton. They serve all-you-can-drink cocktails that taste like pineapple, and you can also have beer and soft drinks like guava juice and cola. The pineapple cocktail, which was already salty, became extremely salty with the seawater added. I won't forget the beautiful view of the surfers up close and the rainbow that appeared!

ハワイが初めてで当日、ぎりぎりに行動してしまうことになってしまいましたがハレクラニとシェラトンの間のわかりやすい場所にありすぐに見つけることができました。
飲み放題でパイナップル味？のようなカクテルが配られますが、アルコールはビールやらソフトドリンクはグアバドリンクやコーラ等もいただけます。もとから塩辛いようなパイナップルカクテルが海水が入りすごくしょっぱかったです。本場のサーファーを近くでみられたのと虹がかかってすごくきれいだった景色は当分忘れられないかな！

What a great ride! Crew was great and music was awesome!! We had a blast!!

I was deeply moved. Both Gaga and Michael, as well as Elvis, had an impressive presence that felt "professional!" As someone from the bubble generation, I felt a sense of gratitude for the era I was born into, and I was truly touched. During my student days, I used to keep a Michael poster in my commuter pass... The entire show was great, especially the fire performance, which was breathtaking. There are also a few other points I want to share. First, the staff (floor attendants, sommeliers, and the behind-the-scenes crew) were wonderful. They were friendly, lively, and took pride in their work, which really drew me in. Additionally, the English spoken by the "Hawaiian Ebizo" who first guided us backstage was very easy to understand and great. The champagne and aperitifs in the green room were delicious, and the waiter was incredibly handsome, which was delightful. The course meal was also very satisfying. Being able to hear "Over the Rainbow" and "We Are the World" live towards the end of the show will become an unforgettable memory of my time in Hawaii. Thank you for a wonderful time.

感動しました。ガガさんもマイケルもエルヴィスも「プロ！！」という感じで迫力がありました。バブル世代としては「自分が生まれた時代に感謝！」という感じで、感動しきりでした。学生時代、マイケルのブロマイドを定期券に入れていましたから・・・。フラショーも含め(特に火を使ったショーは圧巻)ショー全体もちろん良かったのですが、その他にも是非お知らせしたいポイントがいくつか。まず働いていらっしゃる方々(フロア係やソムリエの方々、ショーの裏方の方々など)の人柄がとてもすばらしい。フレンドリーで生き生きとして仕事に誇りをもっていて、みな感じのいい方々でまずそこにとても惹かれました。あと、最初にバックステージをご案内くださった「ハワイの海老蔵さん」の英語がとても聞き取りやすくて良かったです。グリーンルームのシャンパンやアペリティフもおいしくて、ギャルソンさんもチョーイケメンでうっとりでした。コース料理も大満足。ショーの最後の方に｢Over the rainbow｣と「We are the World」を生で聴けたことは、ハワイでの忘れられない思い出になると思います。楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

It was fun to sink to the bottom of the sea and see a lot of fish, but it was a bit disappointing that the colors were hard to distinguish and difficult to see.

海底に沈んでいって、たくさんの魚を見ることができて楽しかったが、色が分かりにくく、見えにくかったのが少し残念

The cruise itself was pleasant, and we were able to see the sunset, but I have to make a candid comment: the price is a bit high. They say it's an all-you-can-drink Mai Tai, but the alcohol seemed weak, and I hardly felt any buzz. There are other catamaran cruises available in Waikiki, so I don't think I'll be repeating this one.

クルーズ自体は、サンセットも見られましたし気持の良いものでしたが、あえて辛口のコメント。値段が、少々高いです。マイタイ飲み放題といいますが、アルコールが弱いようでほとんど酔いは感じませんでした。ワイキキには、他にもカタマランクルーズは出ているので、リピートはしないと思います。

I participated with my boyfriend and four friends. It was my first time paragliding, and it was amazing to soar over the beautiful ocean in Hawaii (^o^) When I was making the reservation, I was really torn about which height to choose, and I decided to go for the challenging 120 meters. However, when I actually flew, I thought there wasn't much difference between 120 meters and 80 meters. But my friends, who were watching from the boat, said it was completely different! (laughs) The male tour guides were very enthusiastic and fun, even playfully dropping us into the sea before we took off, which added to the excitement. We also requested photos for $30 for the four of us, and they took beautiful, clear pictures that we couldn't have captured with our smartphones, so we were very satisfied. The tour ended in an hour and a half, and having transportation included made it easy to plan our next activities.

彼と友達夫婦４人で参加しました。
パラセーリングは初めてでしたが、ハワイの綺麗な海の上を悠々と飛べて最高でした(^o^)
申込みの時は何mにするか迷いに迷って、ちょっとチャレンジの120mにしました。実際飛んでみると、120mも80mもあまり違いはないのでは？と思いましたが、船から見ていた友達は全然違った！と言っていました（笑）
ツアーガイドの男性達もサービス精神？旺盛で、飛ぶ前に海に落とされたりキャーキャー楽しく、盛り上がりました。
写真も4人で30$でお願いしましたが、スマホでは撮れない美しく鮮明な写真を撮って頂き満足でした。
一時間半で終わって、送迎付きなのも後の予定が組みやすく良かったです。

The sunset sinking on the horizon is very beautiful and wonderful. The boat is small, so it sways a lot. However, the scenery was so lovely that I didn't get seasick. I did get splashed with water, but it dries quickly. The instructions before boarding were only in English, so I didn't understand them at all (^ ^ゞ But it wasn't a problem.

水平線に沈む夕日がとてもキレイで素晴らしいです。船は小さいのでよく揺れます。が、景色がキレイで酔いませんでした。水がかかります。スグに乾きますが。乗船前の注意事項は英語のみで、さっぱりわかりませんでした(^ ^ゞでも問題なかったです。

We participated as a couple. It was a nice day with good weather in the evening, so we were able to enjoy the cruise comfortably. It can be a bit chilly, so having a long-sleeve T-shirt is convenient. There are restrooms available, but I recommend using them before boarding if possible.

夫婦で参加しました。夕方の天気のいい日だったので、気持ちよくクルーズできました。少し肌寒い事もあるので長袖Tシャツあると便利です。後トイレはありますがなるべく済ませて乗る事をお勧めします。

Since I was in Hawaii, enjoying the beautiful tropical sea, I decided to try the classic activity of parasailing! I went for the extreme ride at 150 meters! It was thrilling when we were deliberately dropped into the sea as we left the boat! The vast blue ocean and the distant view of Honolulu were breathtaking, making me feel at ease despite the height. I highly recommend this experience if you visit a southern island.

However, I was disappointed that the photo service provided by the staff did not include the pictures I was hoping for on the CD-R we received at the end.

せっかくのハワイ、せっかくの常夏の海だから、定番のアクティビティ・パラセーリングに挑戦しました！
どうせなら、と言うことで150メートルのエキストリームライドにアタック！
ボートから離れるときは、わざと海に落とされたりとすごくスリリング！
広く蒼い海と、遠くに見えるホノルルの町並に感動して高さを感じない気持ちよさがありました。
南の島に来たのなら是非体験して欲しいです

ただ、スタッフによるフォトサービス、最後にいただいたCD-Rには、期待していた写真が記録されてなくて残念です。

Five adults were very satisfied (^o^)
It was three times more fun than we expected!
Next time, I want to ride during the sunset ^_^
We couldn't jump in because it was full on the day, so making an online reservation was definitely the right choice ^_^

大人５人大満足(^o^)
予想の3倍楽しかったですよ！
つぎはサンセットで乗りたいです^_^
飛込みは当日は満員で無理でした。ネット予約して大正解でした^_^

This is my fourth time in Hawaii, and I've used this service three times. I recommend it for the afternoon of the first day. It's a large catamaran, so there's not much rocking, which makes it安心 (safe).

ハワイは4回目ですが　内3回利用しています　
初日の午後にお勧めです
大型のカタマランですので　揺れもさほどなく
安心です　

My 7-year-old daughter was really excited to get on the boat, but once we headed out to sea, she got scared and didn't want to jump. However, with the instructor's kind support, she was able to jump and it seemed like she really enjoyed it, saying she wants to go again. So, we plan to jump again next time!

7歳の娘が船に乗るまではノリノリだったのに実際に沖へ出ると怖がって飛ぶのを嫌がってたんですが、インストラクターの優しいサポートで飛ぶことができ、相当気持ちが良かったらしくまた行きたいと言ってました。
なので次回もまた飛びたいと思います！

I had a little free time, so I signed up on-site. It was easy to participate with free transportation to the hotel, and the weather was nice, but the view from the ocean off Waikiki Beach was absolutely stunning. During the ride, I was told about delicious restaurants and had some interesting conversations, which made it a lot of fun.

ちょっとした空き時間が出来たので、現地で、申し込みしました。
ホテルまで、無料送迎付きで、手軽に、参加出来たのに、天気良かったのもありますが、ワイキキビーチ沖、海の上からの絶景最高でした。
送迎中、美味しいお店など、教えてもらったり、面白いおしゃべりしてもらったりで、楽しかったです。

I was anxious because I couldn't speak English, but the person explaining things was able to communicate in Japanese, so I was able to understand everything without any issues. After that, we headed straight to the beach! The lesson was right in front of us on the beach! Although the lesson was in English, it was fine with gestures! They quickly taught me the tips to stand up, and I was able to ride the waves multiple times. They even took photos of me riding the waves, which became the best memories! I highly recommend it!

英語喋れなくて、不安だったんですが、説明してくれる方は、日本語OKだったので、問題なく説明終えれました。
その後、早速、海へ！
歩いてすぐ前のビーチでのレッスン！
レッスンは、英語だったんですが、見ぶり手振りでOK!
直ぐに立てるコツ教えてもらえて、何度も、波に乗れました。
波に乗ってる写真も撮ってくれていて、最高の思い出になりました！
オススメします

I was late for the meeting time, but it was okay! I was the only Japanese person. In other tours, even if there was just one Japanese person, they would often reach out (of course in English) and show concern, but this time, there was absolutely no consideration, and I wasn't even asked if I wanted a drink refill. (Maybe they intentionally didn't ask since the other people were quite active.)

The other large group was having a great time at the front of the netting area (a wet spot where you could get splashed). However, it was quite cold, so I didn't have the luxury to join in. The sunset was beautiful, and there were turtles, making it an enjoyable cruise, but since I'm not very strong with alcohol (of course, there are soft drinks available), I felt it was just an ordinary cruise with one can of juice.

Well, it was average. The sunset looked more beautiful from Magic Island, and I can see turtles on other occasions as well. For those who love alcohol and can drink about ten cups, it seems like a great deal. I recommend it for those who understand English to some extent and want to have fun with a group on the boat.

集合時間に遅れましたが、大丈夫！と軽く受け入れてくれました。
日本人は私だけ。
他のツアーでは、日本人１人でも結構声をかけてくれたり、（もちろん英語です）
気にしてくれたり、でしたが、今回は全く何も気遣われず、飲み物のお替りも聞かれない感じ。
（他の人々が積極的だったので、敢えて他の人にも聞いてなかったのかも知れません）
他の大人数グループは先端の網のところ（水しぶきがかかったりする濡れる場所）で
大騒ぎしていて楽しそうでした。
が、結構寒く、そんな余裕はなし。
夕日は美しかったし、カメもいたりして楽しいクルーズでしたが、私はあまりアルコールに強くないので、（もちろんソフトドリンクもありますが）缶ジュース1本で、普通のクルーズって感じだったので、
まあ普通です。
サンセットもマジックアイランドから見たほうが美しかったですし、
カメも普通に他の機会にたくさん見れますし。
お酒大好きで、10杯くらい飲める、という人はおおいに元が取れる感じ。
英語がある程度分かって、グループで船に乗って騒ぎたい人にはおススメです。

The breeze was pleasant, and the sunset was wonderful. It was an open-style boat, with nothing obstructing the view, and I was very satisfied.

風も気持ち良くて、サンセットも素晴らしかった^ ^
おーぷんな感じの船で、遮るものがなく大満足でした。

I arrived in Hawaii without knowing that a hurricane was coming, and after a while of rain and clouds, I participated. One hurricane had already passed, but another was still offshore; despite this, the weather was clear and the conditions were perfect with no waves. The sunset was beautiful and it was the best. Besides our family of four, there were only four young women, and most participants were from Europe and America. The age range was diverse, and everyone was enjoying the sunset with a Mai Tai in hand. I will definitely participate again next time!

ハリケーンが来ているのを知らずにハワイに到着し、暫く雨だったり、曇ったりの後、参加しました。まだ、ハリケーンの１つは過ぎましたがまだもう一つ沖合いに残っていさるにもかかわらず、天気は快晴で、波もなく絶好のコンディションでした。夕日もきれいに見えて最高でした。日本人は私たち家族４人の他、若い女性のグループ４人だけで、ほとんどが欧米人。年齢層も様々で、みんなしみじみとマイタイ片手にサンセットを楽しんでいました。次回も絶対参加します！

Due to a pickup trouble from another parasailing experience, we were an hour late and participated with my 14-year-old son. He was satisfied as he was able to stand up and ride the waves early on. Since we were an hour late, I think we only had about an hour left for the lesson, but after the other participants left, it turned into almost a private lesson, and we were able to enjoy an extended time. Thank you to the Japanese staff member, Aiko? (I hope I’m not mistaken ^_^) for handling the pickup trouble. I definitely recommend this tour. As for me, I had to give up after 30 minutes due to a recurrence of back pain! (It was because of the hotel’s too soft bed! Just an excuse ^_^;) It's a shame I don't have any photos.

別のパラセーリングの体験談に投稿させていただいたピックアップのトラブルで、1時間遅れで、14歳の長男と参加。長男は、早々に立って波に乗ることができて満足そうでした。1時間遅れだったので、本当はレッスン時間あと1時間ぐらいしかなかったと思いますが、他のレッスンの皆さんが帰ったあとも、ほぼプライベートレッスン状態で、時間延長で楽しませていただきました。日本人スタッフのアイコさん？(だったかな。間違えてたらすみません^_^)ピックアップのトラブルから対応ありがとうございました。ぜひ、オススメのツアーです。最後に、私は？というと、腰痛再発のため、30分でgive up!(ホテルの柔らかすぎるベッドのせいだぁ！言い訳でした^_^;)写真がないのが残念。

I was able to easily experience a luau in Waikiki.
The show was very entertaining and authentic.
It became a wonderful memory for the whole family.

ワイキキで気軽にルアウを体験できました。
ショーはとてもおもしろく、本格的でした。
家族みんなのとてもいい思い出になりました。

I go to Hawaii every year and was aware of the boats anchored at the beach, but this was my first time participating in this cruise. I've been on regular dinner cruises before, and the food wasn't great, but I wanted my husband to enjoy his first time in Hawaii, and since I love cruises, I decided to join. It was definitely the right choice. The weather was perfect, and on the boat, there was an all-you-can-drink Mai Tai, which I enjoyed since I love alcohol. There were also snacks provided. There were no Japanese people on board, just everyone from overseas. Everyone was very friendly, and we took pictures together while enjoying the sunset and even saw a rainbow. It was the best cruise. My husband said he really enjoyed it too, and since we could disembark in the evening, we were able to go for a delicious meal afterward, making the most of our time. It was fantastic.

ﾊﾜｲには毎年行っており、ﾋﾞｰﾁに留まっている船の存在は知っていましたが今回初めてこちらで申し込み参加しました。普通のディナークルーズは行ったことがありお料理も美味しくないしでも初めてのﾊﾜｲを夫に楽しんでほしいのと、ｸﾙｰｽﾞ大好きな私も楽しみたいとこちらに参加。参加して大正解。ちょうどお天気も絶好調の中、船の中でﾏｲﾀｲ飲み放題ｗお酒大好きなので何杯かいただきました。おつまみのｽﾅｯｸ付。乗船しているのは日本人はいなくみんな海外の方でした＾＾　とっても気さくでみんなで写真撮りあったりして、ｻﾝｾｯﾄも虹も一緒に見ることができ最高のｸﾙｰｽﾞでした。夫もほんとに楽しかったといっており、夕方に船を下りれるのでｸﾙｰｽﾞ後においしいお食事にも行けて時間も有効活用。最高えでした。

We were picked up by the hotel and arrived at a nearby beach. Along with us, there were many couples and groups of friends who boarded the same boat and headed out to sea. The parasailing was done for those who were shorter, and we were the second-to-last group to go. Flying over the vast ocean was exhilarating and a lot of fun, but at 150 meters high, it was really scary at the end, and I found myself wishing they would bring us down quickly, haha. The parasailing itself was enjoyable, though. The crew on the boat took photos for us, and we could purchase the data for $30 at the end. However, when I checked the data after returning home, there was nothing in it, and despite paying $30, I didn't get a refund. It was the worst experience.

ﾎﾃﾙに送迎してくれて近くのﾋﾞｰﾁに到着。私たちのほかにもたくさんのｶｯﾌﾟﾙ、友達ｸﾞﾙｰﾌﾟが同じ船に乗り海上に出ました。ﾊﾟﾗｾｲﾘﾝｸﾞは高さの低い人たちから行われ私たちはこのｸﾞﾙｰﾌﾟでは最後から２組目に乗りました。広い海の上を飛んでとても爽快感で楽しかったですがさすが１５０ﾒｰﾄﾙはすごく高くて最後は怖くて早くおろしてくれと思いましたw　ﾊﾟﾗｾｲﾙ自体楽しかったですが。写真を船に乗ってる乗組の方が撮ってくれて最後３０$でﾃﾞｰﾀを購入することができます。帰国後ﾃﾞｰﾀを見ると何も入っておらず、３０$払ったのに払い戻しもされず最悪でした。

My high school child quickly learned to ride and had a great time. The group lesson had more than 10 participants, but the staff was well-equipped, providing frequent support.

高校生の子供は、あっという間に乗れるようになり、楽しんでいました。
グループレッスンは、10人を超えるグループでしたが、スタッフが充実していたため、こまめにフォローしてくれていました。

It started at 9 AM. I participated alone, but I ended up experiencing it with my cousins who were visiting from the mainland United States. They had booked for 80m while I had booked for 120m, so they adjusted to my reservation, which made the experience longer and luckier for me. It was not scary at all and was really fun. They took photos, but my face didn't show up, and it was completely dark. There was only one photo where I could barely be seen. I bought it for $30, but I wish I hadn't. I plan to participate again when I come with friends, but this time in the evening instead of the morning. Ah, I'm really disappointed about the photos.

朝9時からでした。一人で参加したけれど、アメリカ本土から来ていた従姉妹と3人で体験することになった。彼女達は80mで私は120mで予約だったので、彼女達は私に合わされるので、時間も長くなってラッキーだった。まったく怖くなくてとても楽しかった。写真を撮ってくれたけれど、顔が写っていなくて、真っ黒だった。辛うじて一枚だけ写っていた。30ドルで買ったけど、やめておけばよかった。次回友達と来たときに参加するつもりだけど、朝ではなくて、夕方体験するつもりです。あぁ写真が本当に残念です｡

We stayed in Honolulu as a family of four (myself, my wife, our 14-year-old son, and our 8-year-old son). Our 8-year-old son was not allowed to join the surfing group lesson due to age restrictions, so we split into two groups: my son and I went surfing, while my wife and our younger son went parasailing, which we had booked in advance from Japan.

By chance, the hotel pickup times for both tours were the same. On the day of the tour, I went to the reception first, and when the driver arrived, he called my name, and my son and I got in. I provided my full name and handed over the voucher (which clearly stated surfing), but it turned out to be the parasailing van. I asked the driver to go back so we could switch with my wife and younger son, but the driver insisted he couldn't go back due to time constraints!

We arrived at Hilton Lagoon Harbor in about 15 minutes, and reluctantly, the boat departed without us. I then called VELTRA for assistance. With the help of the person in charge of the surfing tour, they arranged for my wife and younger son to be picked up by the surfing tour van, allowing us to switch and participate in both tours, albeit one hour late.

We had another tour booked for the afternoon, and for a moment, I feared we might have to cancel one of the tours that day! I am very grateful for the support from both tour desks. This kind of trouble turned into a memorable experience of our trip.

Lastly, I have one piece of advice: please ensure that drivers are properly instructed to confirm the details on the voucher (full name, tour name).

家族4人(私、妻、長男14歳、次男8歳)でホノルル滞在。8歳の次男は年齢制限でサーフィングループレッスンがNGとの事で、私＋長男→サーフィン、妻＋次男→パラセーリングと二手に分かれて、日本で事前予約してました。たまたま二つのツアーのホテルピックアップ時間が一緒。当日私が先にレセプションに出ていて、やって来たドライバーに名前を呼ばれ、長男と乗り込みました。フルネーム言ってバウチャー(当然サーフィンと書いてある)も渡しましたが、途中でパラのバンである事が判明。ドライバーに、戻って妻＋次男とチェンジしてくれと話ししましたが、ドライバーのオッチャン、時間がないから戻れないの一点張り！15分程でヒルトンラグーンのハーバーに着いてしまい、止むを得ずその回のボートには出発してもらいVELTRAに電話。サーフィンツアーの方の担当の方の協力もいただき、サーフィンツアーのバンに妻＋次男をピックアップしてもらい、私＋長男と入れ替わり、1時間遅れで、両方のツアーに参加できました。午後にも別のツアー予約しており、一瞬、どれかのツアーを当日キャンセルしなければならない！との最悪状況を想定しましたが、両方のツアーデスクの担当の方の対応には大変感謝してます。こんなトラブルも印象深い旅の思い出になりました。(^o^)/
最後に一つだけ苦言を。やっぱりバウチャーの内容(フルネーム、ツアー名)はドライバーにきちんと確認するよう指導お願いします。

It was my first experience with paddle surfing. The guide couldn't speak Japanese, but I was able to enjoy the lesson without any problems. Standing up was more difficult than I expected, and I couldn't catch any waves, but I had a great time. I would like to try again.

パドルサーフィン初体験でした。ガイドは日本語できませんでしたが、講習も問題なく楽しめました。予想以上に立つのが難しく波には乗れませんでしたが楽しめました。また、挑戦したいです。

This tour was amazing, the guys on the ship were very chill and the views were incredible. I would go again if im in the area and to be able to drink on the boat was a great and fun idea. Its a must try for anyone!
