Waikiki
The pickup location was changed due to the parade. While that can't be helped, the driver was the worst. He didn't have a list, and even when I showed him the voucher, he didn't respond at all, which was terrible service. I was so frustrated that I had to complain before I could finally get on. To make matters worse, I was dropped off at the Hawaiian Airlines domestic terminal. Please make sure to convey my complaint to Robert Hawaii. I always felt safe with Veltra, but this time was disappointing.
パレードの影響でピックアップ場所が変更になりました。それは仕方ないのですがお迎えの運転手が最悪。リストも持っていないしバウチャーを見せても反応なく最悪の対応でした。ぶち切れてクレームを言ってやっと乗れました。オマケにハワイアン航空の国内便の所で降ろされました。しっかりロバートハワイにクレームをお伝え下さい。いつも、ベルトラさんなら安心していたのに。
It was scarier than I expected!! But as I got used to it, the weather was nice, the scenery was amazing, and the wind felt great—it was a strange sensation! I never knew that being off the ground could be so much fun✨ Next, maybe I'll try skydiving♪
予想していたより怖かった!!
でも慣れてくると天気も良くて景色が最高で風も気持ちよくて、不思議な感覚だった!
地面から離れることがこんなに楽しいとは✨
次はスカイダイビングかな♪
I participated in the lesson starting at 3 PM. There were a total of 7 participants, including myself, 3 Caucasians, and 3 Koreans, with 2 instructors. I was a bit anxious since I don't speak much English, but one of the instructors was mixed with Japanese and spoke to me using simple Japanese words. Half of the participants were Japanese. There was a Japanese woman at the front desk.
The board we used in the lesson was similar to a SUP board, so it's easy to stand on. Also, when a wave comes, they push you from behind, so I think even those without paddle strength can enjoy it.
Since this is primarily a "surfing experience" plan, I wouldn't recommend participating with the goal of improving your skills. The mixed Japanese instructor mentioned that after graduating from school, they might come to Japan and appear on Terrace House or not?
15時からのレッスンに参加しました。
参加者は自分と白人3名、韓国人3名の計7名、インストラクターは2名でした。あまり英語も喋れないので不安でしたが、インストラクターの一人は日本人とのミックスとの事で簡単な日本語の単語で話しかけてくれました。利用者の半分は日本人との事です。フロントには日本人女性がいました。
レッスンで使った板はサップの板に近いので、簡単に立てます。また波が来たら後ろから押してくれるので、パドル力が無い人でも楽しめると思います。
あくまで「サーフィン体験」のプランなので、上達したいという目的で参加するのは勧めません。
日本人とのミックスのインストラクターさんは、学校を卒業したら来日してテラスハウスに出るとか出ないとか?
The weather was nice, and I had no trouble communicating in Japanese with the locals. It was a valuable experience, and I had a great time. The driver who picked us up was cheerful and shared various information like a tour guide.
- If you are prone to seasickness, it's advisable to take medication.
- If you want to have your photo taken with a camera, it costs $30 (cash) for the SD card. Note: Card payments will cost $35.
- I also paid an additional $20 as a tip (of course, this is optional).
天気が良くて、日本人には日本語で話してくれて困ることはなかっです。
貴重な体験なので、楽しく過ごせました。
ピックアップするドライバーが陽気な人で、観光ガイドのようにいろいろ教えてくれます。
・船は船酔いしやすいひとは薬を飲んだよいでしょう。
・カメラの写真を撮ってもらうと、SDカードは30ドル(現金)かかります。
注:カード払いは35ドルかかります。
・別にチップで20ドル支払いました(もちろん任意ですが)。
The aerial trapeze while overlooking the city of Waikiki was amazing. The instructor's energy was high, and I had a lot of fun, but aside from the long wait time and the strong rocking of the boat that made me a bit dizzy, it was fantastic.
Waikikiの街を眺めながらの空中ブランコはさいこうでした
インストラクターのテンションも高く楽しめましたが、待ち時間が長く船の揺れもすごくて若干よったことを除けば最高でした。
It was definitely the right decision to go up to 150 meters. The view of Honolulu's cityscape and Diamond Head from the sea was spectacular. The staff and fellow passengers were all very enthusiastic. However, it may not be suitable for those who are prone to seasickness or have a fear of heights.
高さ150mにして大正解でした。
海上から見るホノルルの街並みや、ダイヤモンドヘッドは特別な景色でした。
スタッフや同乗者の方々と大盛り上がり。
ただ、船酔いしやすい方や、高所恐怖症の方には不向きかもしれません。
This trip was the first time we have ever been on a submarine and we are glad we did it as it was one of the best experiences of our lives. My boyfriend Daniel and I were booked on the Premium Seats which I definitely recommend as those windows are much larger. The staff members are very knowledgeable and always looking out for your safety. You will first board the ship that will then sail out to take you to the submarine dock. The sail is really beautiful as you get to see Waikiki and diamond head on the way. When loading into the Submarine they ensure that your safety comes first and are very careful about every little details. During the submarine tour we went as deep as 110ft and it was just wonderful. Everything is super blue and you get to see a lot of different varieties of fishes, treasures and coral reefs. Also the guide and captain are super funny so you will definitely enjoy your time.
An American group with a wedding reception vibe, just so cheerful! Unlimited Mai Tais, 4 to 5 cups! I was surprised by the dolphins jumping.
結婚式二次会風のアメリカ人グループ、とにかく陽気❗️ マイタイ飲み放題を4~5杯‼️ イルカのジャンプにはびっくりしました。
I think the price is reasonable for the group lessons. Even though it's a group lesson, you can really enjoy it. They also took photos and sold them for just $10, which was great.
グループレッスンのなかでは価格が安いと思います。
グループレッスンとはいえ、ガンガン乗れます。
写真も撮ってくれて10ドルという安価で販売してくれたのが良かってです。
Check-in was at 2:30 PM, so I arrived a bit early, around 2:20 PM, and checked in right at 2:30 PM. However, it felt quite relaxed, as it seemed you could check in anytime between 2:30 PM and 2:45 PM.
The sunset cruise was fully booked a few days in advance, but it seemed like the daytime cruise was okay for same-day reservations. Those who were boarding on the day had paper wristbands on their arms, and there were quite a few of them.
There are restrooms available. The drinks for the daytime cruise were not all-you-can-drink, as stated on Veltra, so I went with that expectation. In reality, the bartender explained things in long sentences in English, which I didn't quite understand, but I heard him mention prices like "beer ◯ dollars" and "Mai Tai ◯ dollars." However, everyone seemed to just tell the bartender what drinks they wanted, giving it a feel of all-you-can-drink.
Tips were being thrown in with $10 and $20 bills. I guess it was implied that while the beer was ◯ dollars, you should tip on top of that? I thought it would be nice if they provided a paper explanation in Japanese at check-in regarding that system. Regulars were already ordering drinks and starting to drink before the explanation.
On the boat, people who didn’t know each other were chatting and having a good time, but if you can’t speak English, you might feel a bit isolated. It seems like it would be more fun with a larger group.
チェックインが14:30なので早めに14:20くらいに着いて14:30ぴったりにチェックインしましだが、14:30〜14:45くらいまでにチェックインすれば良いような緩い感じでした。
サンセットの方は予約で数日前から埋まってましたが、昼の部は当日でもOKのようです。当日受付に言って乗る人たちは腕に紙のリングを巻いてましたが、かなりいました。
トイレあります。
ドリンクは昼の部は飲み放題ではないとベルトラに書いてあったので、そのつもりで乗りました。
実際はバーテンダーが英語で長文で説明されたので良くわからなかったのですが、ビール◯ドル、マイタイ◯ドルとか読み上げてましたが、みんなバーテンダーに飲みたいドリンクを言って飲み放題感覚でした。
チップは10ドル紙幣や20ドル紙幣がガンガン入れられていました。
「ビール◯ドルだけど、チップで入れてね」ってことだったのでしょうか?
あのシステムは日本語にして受付で紙で配ってくれても良いなと思いました。常連さんは乗った時から(説明前)ドリンクをオーダーして飲み始めてました。
船上は知らない人同士も気さくに話し合い盛り上がっていましたが、英語が話せないとポツンとしてしまいます。大人数で乗った方が盛り上がるでしょうね。
we absolutely loved our trip on the Mana Kai Catamaran! Our captain was named Brewski and he made sure that we all had a great time and everybody was safe. Beautiful views, fun vibe, and good people.
Buy a handle of rum and mix it with some fresh Hawaiian juices, mix it up in a huge jug and bring it aboard for everybody to share! you will make friends quick! everyone is on vacation so its a great vibe
My friend and I had such a totally awesome night at Rock-a-Hula, and want to go see it again! We got the VIP dinner show, and it was fantastic. From beginning to end, we were treated like VIPs, and couldn't have asked for better service, food or entertainment.
The cocktail and appetizer reception before the theater doors opened was a great prelude to our evening, and their original mai tais were really yummy too. So many delicious things to nibble on that I had to be careful and not get too full before dinner! Oh and dinner, salad, steak, lobster and dessert...so.... tasty! Plus our server was so attentive and awesome :)
Our VIP seats go us close to the stage so we had an amazing view of the performance, and man was it awesome! Elvis, Michael Jackson and Katy Perry, all on one stage for a seriously rockin' evening. The woman who played Katy Perry was my favorite! Not only did she look and sound exactly like her, but she was the sweetest person too!
The fire knife dance was scary awesome, and the perfect topper to a great night. Perfect option if you just want a fun time in Waikiki!
It was an exciting and enjoyable evening. I had to make a reservation early for the evening, as last year it was fully booked and I couldn't get in. This time, I made a reservation from Japan and went on my second choice date. Since most of the guests were Japanese, I felt a bit more at ease.
迫力があり楽しい夕時でした。
夕方の予約は早い目にしないといけないので去年は予約いっぱいでダメだったので今回は日本で予約して第二希望日で乗りました。日本の方がほとんどだったので少し安心でした。
This was my third time on the Sunset Sailing Mai Tai Catamaran, and for the first time, I saw other Japanese participants besides ourselves.
Still, the view of Diamond Head from the sea, the refreshing scenery and breeze, and the setting sun were amazing. I think when I go to Hawaii again, I will rely on the Sunset Sailing for my fourth time.
今回で3回目の【サンセットセーリング マイタイ・カタマラン号】でしたが、初めて自分達以外の日本人が参加しているのを見ました。
それでも海側から見るダイヤモンドヘッドや、爽やかな景色と風、沈んでいく夕日は最高で、またハワイに行った時には4回目のサンセットセーリングにお世話になると思います。
If you've been to a luau before and want to see another dinner show that isn't exactly a luau, this will probably fit the bill. There's plenty of Hawaiian entertainment and a buffet similar to what you'd find at a luau, but generally speaking this is a more "American" dinner show, like one you'd find in Las Vegas.
The featured stars are Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and HIRIE, a local artist, but there are also a variety of dances, including Polynesian and contemporary choreography. Hirie performed some of her own hits as well as newer songs such as "How Far I'll Go" from the movie Moana!
There's also the hula, Tahitian, and fire knife dancing that you'd normally see at a luau, but there's a good balance of traditional and contemporary. This is an awesome alternative if you've already been to the other luaus in Waikiki.
Thank you Hawaiian Parasail for such a an amazing adventure. The staff is great and the photographer took many wonderful pictures for me and my husband. Parasailing in Waikiki is so much fun, what a incredible feeling... the views are awe inspiring. I would for sure do this tour again, this is the best parasaling tour in Waikiki.
I bought a private lesson for my 13 year old daughter. It was her first time surfing as we are from Colorado. She had her own instructor who provided great instruction and having 1 on 1 instruction helped us both to feel safe. The lesson came with a tshirt and pictures of her lesson which I thought was a great deal. My only complaint was that the adults in the group lesson often got in front of her so she had to sit down to avoid hitting them. They go over this in the beginning of the overall lesson so I don't blame the school, just maybe a reminder in the water would have been helpful. Overall it was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend.
The food and service were great. We had the luau-style buffet dinner and everything was delicious, especially the whole roasted pig. A luau cannot be complete without it! The hula dancers and musicians were also very fun and friendly. The show dancers were so talented too. Especially Elvis, he even went into the audience at one point and interacted with some of the crowd! Adding a local singer to the mix was a nice touch as well. It gave a more authentic feel that you are in Hawaii as she sang along with Elvis and Michael Jackson. The evening show was a wonderful way to end the night. I highly recommend this show if you are looking a lively, entertaining night in Honolulu!
It was great!
I regret forgetting to leave a tip!
I had a lot of fun!
I want to do it again!
とてもよかった!
チップを忘れてしまったことが後悔してます!
とても楽しかった!
またやりたい!
I was picked up at 7:30 from the Kahala Hotel for my flight at 12:10. It seems that the rotary at the Kahala Hotel had a weight restriction, so they came to pick me up right at the entrance of the rotary at 7:30. Along the way, we picked up two groups at hotels in Waikiki and arrived at the airport by 8:30.
12:10発の飛行機で7:30にカハラホテルピックアップでした
カハラホテルのロータリーは重量制限で入れなかったらしく、ロータリーの入口に7:30ちょうどに迎えに来てくれました
途中ワイキキのホテルで2組ほどピックアップして8:30には空港に着きました
The wind was strong and the waves were high, but it was a pleasant sailing experience while enjoying a Mai Tai. Last time, dolphins swam alongside us, so I was hoping for the same this time, but unfortunately, they didn't show up! I would love to participate again.
風が強く波も高かったけど、マイタイを頂きながら気持ちいいセーリングでした。前回はイルカが併走したので今回も期待してたのですが、今回は現れてくれず残念! また参加したいです。
I have visited Hawaii many times, but it has been a while since I went out to sea on a boat. My wife, who easily gets seasick, suggested trying a catamaran cruise. Unfortunately, due to the cloudy sky and strong winds, we couldn't see the sunset, but we enjoyed a pleasant time in the sea breeze. Next time, I would like to go on a calm, sunny day.
これまで何度となく訪れたハワイですが、海に船で出るのは久しぶり。船酔いしやすい妻が乗ってみたいと言い出したカタマラン・クルーズ。
曇り空かつ風の強い日だったため、サンセットは残念ながら見ることはできなかったが、潮風の中を心地よい時間を過ごせた。
今度は晴れた穏やかな日に乗船してみたいと思う。
I was relieved to find out that it was okay as long as I arrived by the boarding time when I called because I was running late for check-in. It was a day with very strong winds and quite high waves, and almost everyone got pretty wet when boarding the boat from the shore. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the sunset, but it was a great experience to see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sea. I would like to try again next time.
チェックイン時間に遅刻しそうになりTelすると、乗船時間までに来てくれればOKとのことで助かりました。風が非常に強い日で波がかなり高く、波打ち際から船に乗り込む際にほとんど全員がかなり濡れました。
サンセットは残念ながら見れませんでしたが、海から見るワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドはいい経験になりました。
次回リベンジしたいと思います。
I participated for the first time in Hawaii, but the local explanations were somewhat inadequate and hard to understand. I wish I could have done things at my own pace!
初ハワイで参加しましたが
現地の方の説明適当だし説明がわかりにくかった
もうすこし自分のタイミングでやらせてもらいたかった!
Thank you for participating in the surfing lesson. We also appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the unclear explanations during the lesson and for not providing you with a more enjoyable experience. I will ensure that the instructor provides clearer explanations in the future. While you mentioned that you prefer your own timing, please keep in mind that there are specific moments when the waves come, and in a group lesson, other customers may also be riding the waves. If you plan to join us again, I highly recommend considering a private lesson. We look forward to your next participation!
この度はサーフィンレッスンへのご参加ありがとうございます。
また、貴重なお時間を割いてコメント頂きありがとうございます。
レッスン中は分かりにくい説明であり、あまり楽しいひと時をお過ごしになられなかったこと、大変申し訳ございません。
インストラクターには今一度しっかりと説明をするように指導致します。
ご自身のタイミングでとのことですが、波が来るタイミング、またグループレッスンですと他のお客様が波に乗るタイミングがありますので、もし次回ご参加予定ありましたら、ぜひプライベートレッスンへのご参加をお勧めします。
またの参加、お待ちしております!
The sunset was obstructed by clouds as it sank into the sea, but this cruise was very pleasant, and believe it or not, it's my fourth time. When you come to Hawaii, you have to take this cruise to really get started!
サンセットは海に沈むには雲が邪魔しちゃいましたが、とってもこのクルーズは気持ちがよくなんだかんだと4回目です。ハワイに来たらこれに乗らないと始まらないね!
My first parasailing experience. I flew with my 88-year-old grandmother and mother. The crew was very considerate of my grandmother throughout the experience and made it enjoyable for her. My grandmother was very happy, saying, "I can't believe I can fly at this age; this has created a lifelong memory." Thank you very much!
はじめてのパラセーリング。88歳の祖母と母と飛びました。クルーの皆さまには終始祖母を気遣い、楽しませて頂きました。祖母も「こんな歳で空を飛べるなんて、一生の思い出ができた」と大変喜んでいました。ありがとうございました!
It was from the airport to the hotel, and at first, I thought I would be alone, but as soon as the plane arrived, more and more people joined, and in the end, there were about ten of us when we departed. Since there were about three hotels, we arrived in a reasonable amount of time.
空港からホテルまででしたが、最初自分一人でと思ったら、飛行機の到着次第で次から次へと人が増えて、結果10人程になり出発しました。ホテルとしては、3軒くらいでしたのでそれなりの時間に到着しました。
It was boring because everything was in English and I couldn't understand what was being said. It felt like a waste of money since it was only foreigners who were excited. The snacks were also not great.
英語ばかりで英語がわからないと何を言っているのかわからずつまらなかった。外国人だけで盛り上がり高いお金を出したのにもったいなかったです。軽食ももイマイチでした。
The driver was cheerful and pleasant. The pickup time was within a 10-minute margin. I would like to use this service again.
ドライバーさんがにこやかで感じが良かった。
お迎え時間も誤差10分以内。
また利用したいと思います。
During the night tour, we could watch the fireworks. I recommend bringing a jacket or windbreaker to protect against the cold wind.
