Waikiki
Despite the impact of the hurricane causing some changes to our reservations, we managed to enjoy our stay and go on the ride.
The crew spoke a little Japanese, and my daughter had a great time. The photos are $30, but since there are many, it's definitely worth buying. The group of four we rode with paid $40, so it might be a good deal.
The only downside was the weather, which wasn't great.
ハリケーンの影響で予約が流れたりしながらもなんとか滞在中に乗れました。
クルーは日本語も少し話してくれるし娘も楽しんでました。写真は30ドルですが枚数が多いので是非買いです。同乗した四人組は40ドルだったのでお得かも。
天気がいまいちだったのだけが残念です。
I used this service last year as well, and it was the same driver and boat crew! Last year I got seasick, but this time I skipped breakfast and took strong motion sickness medication, so I was perfectly fine! On the way back, thanks to the driver's kindness, we stopped by the filming location of Hawaii Five-0 and he dropped us off at Rainbow Drive-In.
去年も利用しましたが、同じドライバーと船のクルーでした!
去年は船酔いしましたが、今回はきちんと朝ごはん抜きで、強い酔い止めを飲んだのでバッチリでした!
帰りにドライバーの好意で、ハワイファイブオーの撮影現場に経由でレインボードライブインで下ろしてくれました。
This was a really fun sail. We ordered pizza and brought it on board with drinks, though since it was an afternoon sail we had most of our lunch before departing. Bench seating with no tables, so we had to improvise. Finger foods that are easy to eat and not very messy are ideal to bring on, as are cans and bottles for drinks.
It's really cool and windy out on the water, so it can get rough if the boat goes near Diamond Head where the water isn't protected from the waves. That said, if you're willing to get wet it's a lot of fun sitting on the netting and getting splashed!
I enjoyed parasailing with a bit of fear. I had a great experience with a panoramic view of Waikiki, Hawaii. If you go to Hawaii, you should definitely try at least one marine sport. It really feels very American.
恐る恐るパラセーリングを楽しみました。
ハワイ・ワイキキが一望できて、良い経験をしました。
ハワイに行ったなら、何かマリンスポーツを1つぐらい経験すべきですね。
やはり、アメリカチックです。
Since we were there, we decided to challenge ourselves with the 150m jump. We participated as a group of six. One of us had a fear of heights, but once we were up in the air, the grandeur of the scenery seemed to impress them, and they were fine. We requested a water landing, and it was very gentle as we touched down on the water, which was a lot of fun.
せっかくなら、と150mにチャレンジ。6名で参加しました。中には高所恐怖症の人がいたのですが、上空に上がってしまうと、景色の壮大さに感激して、大丈夫だったようです。水上着水リクエストしましたが、とてもおだやかに水面に着いていただいて、楽しかったです。
At first, I was looking for a Polynesian show, so I felt a bit of a disconnect with shows like those featuring Presley, but the timing and location were very good, so our family of four participated. The show had a well-thought-out structure that didn't feel out of place, and the content was engaging from one act to the next, never boring. What stood out the most was the performers' genuine desire to entertain the audience. The food was also delicious. During the meal, the performers kept us entertained with their singing and dancing, which was great. We all had a wonderful time together as a family on this trip.
初めはポリネシアンショーで探してましたので、プレスリー等のショーも有り少し違和感が有りましたが、時間、立地等はとても良いので家族4名で参加しました。ショーは違和感がなく良く考えられた構成、ショーは次から次と全く飽きない内容でした。一番は出演者の皆さんがお客さんを楽しませる気持ちが伝わってきました。食事も美味しかったです。食事中も出演者の方々の飽きさせない歌、踊りも有り良いです。今回の旅行での楽しい時間が家族全員で過ごせました。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
I had a great time enjoying plenty of singing and dancing. Each dancer was dedicated, and it was moving. It exceeded my expectations, and I want to go again!
歌とダンスたっぷり楽しめて大満足でした。
ダンサー、一人一人が一生懸命で感動しました。
期待していた以上で、また行きたいと思います!
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.

We booked a Hawaiian show at the request of my elderly father, who wanted to see it during our three-generation family trip, thinking that the young grandchildren would enjoy it as well. We chose the buffet course, so the food was just okay, and the timing felt a bit rushed, but we enjoyed interacting with the dancers.
The show that followed, after moving to the audience seating, was fantastic. From the second floor, we had a great view of the stage, and the children, who had been dozing off before it started, were completely captivated once the show began. They enjoyed the high-level dancing and singing throughout. We were very satisfied with the well-structured performance.
三世代家族旅行で、ハワイアンショーが観たいと言う高齢の父の希望で、これなら若い孫たちもそこそこ楽しめるかなと予約しました。
バイキングのコースにしたので、食事はこんなものかなという程度で、時間も慌ただしかったですが、ダンサーさん達とのやり取りを楽しめました。
その後の客席に移動してのショーは最高でした。
2階席からはステージがとても良く見え、始まるまでウトウトしていた子ども達も、ショーが始まってからはステージに釘付けで、レベルの高いダンスに歌にと終始楽しめました。
とても良く構成されたパフォーマンスに大満足でした。

We participated as a family of four, and since it was our first time parasailing, we had a lot of fun. However, on the day of the event, we paid an additional fee of $47 to have our experience photographed. Since we were going in pairs (2 pairs), it was a good deal for families (it might have included a tip). After returning home, when we checked the SD card with the photos, we found that there was data for only one pair. Additionally, the photos were very blurry... It’s disappointing, even if it’s not within VELTRA's responsibility.
家族4人で参加させてもらい、パラセーリング自体は初めてだったので楽しませてもらえました。
ただ当日別料金でその様子を写真に撮ってもらえる。2人づつ体験(2ペア)するので家族の場合はお得ですと別料金で47ドル支払いました。(チップ込みだったかもしれません)
帰国後、撮影してもらったSDカードを確認したところ、1ペア分のデータしか入っていませんでした。また、写真のブレが凄かったです…
VELTRAさんの責任の範囲ではないと言われてしまえばそれまでですが、残念でした。
Choosing a nearby hotel with shuttle service made it very convenient and relaxing, as I didn't have to worry about transportation to the parasailing location. Once we arrived at the harbor, they quickly directed me to my boat, which was efficient.
You can enjoy both the beautiful ocean of Hawaii and the views of Diamond Head and the mainland all at once. Additionally, since you ascend to quite a height, it was incredibly refreshing! I found that there was less swaying than I expected, and it was stable, so I think you can enjoy it without feeling much fear.
最寄のホテルを選んで送迎が付いているので、パラセーリングを行う場所までの移動は特に気にしないで良く、大変便利で気楽でした。ハーバーに着いてからも、素早く自分が乗るボートを指示してくれ、要領が良かったです。
ハワイの綺麗な海とダイヤモンドヘッド等の大陸の景色を両方いっぺんに楽しむことが出来ます。また、かなりの高さまで上がるので、とっても爽快でした!
思ったより揺れは少なく、安定していたので恐怖感はあまり感じることなく楽しめると思います。
I participated with my son and daughter! There seemed to be various tours available, but I decided on this Hawaiian Parasail because it lasts two hours including transportation, and it's close to Waikiki, making it easier for us to plan our activities afterward. Besides us Japanese, there were three groups of foreigners, totaling nine people, who set off together. Perhaps because we took motion sickness medication, the boat's rocking wasn't a problem at all. The staff were cheerful and friendly, making jokes to ease our tension and keep us laughing. The 150-meter parasail was breathtaking! We could see everything from Diamond Head to Waikiki, and the view was truly amazing. My son took his smartphone in a waterproof case and hung it around his neck to capture the view from above, creating precious videos that became treasures for us. Of course, we also purchased an SD card. For $30, we got over 80 photos. Thinking that it might be the last time I fly together with my college-aged son and high school daughter made this time incredibly precious. I really felt grateful to be able to try this in the open and liberating atmosphere of Hawaii. Thank you very much to the staff of Hawaiian Parasail!
息子、娘と3人で参加しました!
いろいろなツアーがあるようで迷いましたが、こちらのハワイアンパラセイルは送迎含めて2時間で終了とのこと、場所もワイキキに近いのでその後の行動がとりやすいだろうと思い申しみました。日本人の私達の他に外国人のグループが3組、9人で出発しました。酔い止めをしっかり飲んだからかボートの揺れは問題なかったです。スタッフが明るく気さくで私達の緊張をほぐしてくれるかのように冗談を言って笑わせてくれました。150mのパラセイルは圧巻!ダイヤモンドヘッドからワイキキから総て見渡せて本当に素晴らしい景色でした。息子が防水ケースにいれたスマホを首から下げて上空からの眺めを撮影してくれ貴重な動画が宝物になりました。もちろんSDカードも購入しましたよ。30$で80枚以上の写真がおさまっていました。
大学生の息子と高校生の娘と親子一緒に飛ぶことはもうないのかなと思うととてもとても貴重な時間でした。ハワイという開放感たっぷりの地で気持ちもおおらかに元気にトライすることができて本当に良かったと思います。ハワイアンパラセイルのスタッフの方々どうもありがとうございました。
Great crew, comfy boat, tasty drinks. Can definitely recommend this evening cruise!
Our family of five had our three children's first parasailing experience! A hurricane was approaching, and the wind was occasionally strong, making it an exhilarating experience that had everyone excited. It was early in the morning, but both the start and finish were on schedule, without the typical Hawaiian laid-back timing, which was great as it didn't interfere with our subsequent plans.
家族5人で、3人の子供たちの初パラセーリング!
ハリケーンが接近中で風が時折強く吹き、スリル満点の体験でみんな大興奮でした。
朝一でしたがスタートも終わりも予定時間通りで、ハワイ特有の時間にルーズな感じがなく、その後の予定にも支障が出なくて良かったです。
It was a very efficient tour with a pickup at 7:30 AM and returning to the hotel by 9:30 AM. My third-grade son enjoyed parasailing, even though he was a bit scared! It was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it.
朝7:30ピックアップ、9:30にはホテルに戻るとても効率の良いツアーでした。パラセーリングは小3の息子もビビりながらもかなり楽しめました!素晴らしい体験になります。オススメです。
During our honeymoon, a hurricane arrived. The winds picked up and the weather became concerning, so they quickly changed our afternoon schedule to available slots in the morning. The staff at Veltra responded promptly, which was a great help.
新婚旅行でハリケーンが到来。風が強くなり天気が危ぶまれるとのことで、急遽午後のスケジュールを午前の空いているところに変えてくれました。ベルトラのスタッフが迅速に対応してくださり、助かりました。
The view from the top was amazing. The drivers for the shuttle and the people operating the boat were quite entertaining. I had a lot of fun. If you're not comfortable with heights, it might be better to avoid the highest one.
上に上がった時の景色が最高でした。
送迎のドライバーやボートを操縦する方たちもかなり面白い方々でした。
すごい楽しかったです。
1番高いやつは高いところが苦手な方は控えた方がいいかもしれません。
I thought it would be impossible to try marine sports at my age, but encouraged by my husband, I decided to give it a go. The hotel provided transportation, and when I got on the yacht, the staff took care of all the equipment for me, which was fantastic. The exhilaration of soaring into the sky with the parachute was amazing! It wasn't scary at all! I wanted to keep flying forever. If I can, I definitely want to fly again next year!
マリンスポーツは年も年だし、無理だろうと思っていましたが、主人のすすめでトライすることにしました。ホテルへの送迎ありだし、ヨットにのれば装備も全てスタッフの方が装着してくれるし、至れり尽くせりでした。そしてパラシュートをつけて、空に舞い上がった時の爽快さは素晴らしかった❗全然怖くありません❗ズーッと飛んでいたかったです。来年もできるならぜひ飛びたい‼️
Thanks to the attentive lessons and the friendly staff, I was able to catch several waves. The reception also has Japanese staff, which is reassuring. I especially recommend it for women and children! If you're unsure, it's definitely an activity worth trying!
丁寧なレッスンとノリの良いスタッフのお陰もあって、何本も波に乗れました
受付は日本人スタッフもいて安心。
女性や子供には特におすすめ!
迷うならやった方が良いアクティビティですよ〜
At first, I was just planning to observe, and I was worried about what would happen. I saw other groups flying, and I ended up vomiting due to motion sickness.
当初は見学だけん積りが飛ぶ事されてしまい、どうなる事になるか心配でしたが。
他のグループが飛ぶのを見ていて船酔で嘔吐しましたが。
We were a group of Aussies celebrating my 50th in Hawaii. Thought this would be fun to do and we weren't wrong - everyone had a ball - even those who weren't expecting to. The weather was perfect - not needing jackets at all and the sunset was beautiful. We took heaps of photos with the sunset in the background and then Diamond Head as the boat turned around. The Open Bar was a great hit with the Mai Tai's flowing very nicely. The crew were friendly and fun. We had one member of our group worried about being sea sick but she said she felt nothing and really enjoyed the sail. Highly recommend doing this - all ages.
Thank you so much for the wonderful post! We would love to have you join us again! Your photos are beautiful!
Aloha, Mindy
It's a sunset sailing, but the fireworks viewing on Friday is after sunset, so you won't be able to see the sunset. I don't think people who don't understand English and can't drink alcohol will enjoy it. The fireworks were beautiful.
サンセットセーリングだけど、【金曜日】花火鑑賞付きは日の入り後なのでサンセットは見られません。
英語がわからずお酒が飲めない人は楽しめないと思います。
花火は綺麗でした。
It was supposed to be a Diamond Seat, but I was directed to a regular seat without any reservation. It was very disappointing that the service was not thorough, especially considering the $50 difference.
ダイアモンドシートだったが、席の確保がされておらず、普通の席に誘導された。50ドルもの差をつけながら、サービスが徹底されていないのが、とても残念だった。
Had a fun time, will go again next visit for sure!
We boarded the ship that departed at 11:00 AM (check-in was at 10:30 AM).
We were the only Japanese people on board, but we had a great time.
However, on the catamarans we've been on before, we were allowed to sit on the netting at the front, but this time it wasn't permitted.
Honestly, I was looking forward to sitting there again, so I was a bit disappointed.
As for taking photos before boarding, I'm not sure if it's necessary...? (They are sold for $10 at disembarkation for those who want them.)
11時出航のに乗船しました。(チェックインは10時30分)
日本人は私たちだけでしたが、楽しい時間でした。
ただ、今まで乗ってきたカタマランは先端の網の部分に座っても良かったのですが今回はダメ。
正直私はそこに座るのが楽しくて、また申し込んだので少々残念でした。
乗船前の写真撮影は要らないかな…?(希望者に下船時10ドルで販売)
This time, since we were in Hawaii, we decided to enjoy this fun show. I made a reservation through Veltra, which offered a plan with some nice perks. At first, I was a bit worried about using Veltra, but on the day of the reservation, I headed to the venue and had no trouble checking in at all. I've already used Veltra for various activities and shows about five times during my two trips to Honolulu, and there have been no issues!
For this Rock-a-Hula show, I enjoyed the VIP dinner that came with the special reservation. We started with the meal, and I had the impression that the food at these types of shows is usually not very good, but I thought the food here was quite decent.
Next up was the start of the show. First, there was an Elvis Presley impersonator, followed by a female singer, and then a Michael Jackson impersonator. All of them had great singing abilities, and I really enjoyed watching Michael's dance. The fire dance was also impressive and enjoyable.
Since the dinner package can be a bit pricey, I would recommend just attending the show without the meal.
今回せっかくのハワイと言う事も有りこちらの楽しそうなショーを観覧しました。
ベルトラから予約をすれば嬉しい特典があるプランで予約をしました。
最初はベルトラ⁉︎大丈夫なのかと思いながら予約当日予約会場へ向かいましたが何のトラブルもなく受け付け出来ました。
既にホノルル2回の旅行の内5回程ベルトラ利用で色々なアクティビティ、ショーを予約しましたがもう無問題です!
今回のロックアフラショーですが、嬉しい特典予約あるVIPディナー付きで観覧しました。
最初にお食事を頂きますが、この手のショーのお食事は大した物が出ない印象が強く有りましたがこちらのお食事はまぁまぁ良かったと思います。
お食事の次はいよいよショーの始まりです。
最初にエルビスプレスリーのそっくりサン次に女性シンガーサン続いてマイケルジャクソンのそっくりサン、どの方も歌唱力が有りマイケルのダンスも楽しく拝見できました。
ファイヤーダンスも迫力が有りよかったですよ。
お食事付きだと少し料金がかさみますのでショーのみの鑑賞をオススメしたいですね。
Thank you very much for visiting us this time. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
Crew was good. Music was good. Would have liked more drink choices since it's called a booze cruise
I participated at the request of my 8-year-old daughter, and the location was very convenient as it was at the Royal Hawaiian Beach. Since I have a 3-year-old daughter as well, I was able to watch her play during the lesson. The instructor, Matt, spoke a little Japanese, and my daughter quickly understood and was able to stand up in the water in just about five minutes, which was surprising!
A photographer accompanied us and took pictures, so I ended up wanting to buy them. I was told that the photos alone would be $50, and if I wanted the video, it would be $80. I felt that was a bit expensive, but once I saw the video, I wanted it and ended up purchasing it...
My daughter had a great time!!
8歳の娘のリクエストで参加しましたが、場所もロイヤルハワイアンのビーチなのでとても便利でした。
下に3歳の娘がいるので、レッスン中は見ながら遊んでいました。
マット先生は日本語も少し話せて、娘も直ぐに理解して海に出てものの5分くらいで立ちビックリしました!
カメラマンも同行して、撮ってくれるので欲しくなり買いましたが写真だけなら50ドルでムービーもなら80ドルと言われ少し高いと感じましたが、ムービー見ちゃうと欲しくなり買いました…
娘はかなり楽しんでました!!
Dear na2,
Thank you very much for the 5-star review. We are truly honored that your 8-year-old daughter enjoyed surfing! We hope both parents can join next time!
We look forward to the next opportunity!
na2様:
5つ星の口コミ、誠に有難うございます。8歳の娘さんがサーフィンを楽しんで頂けてとても光栄です!次回はご両親も是非ご参加ください!
では次回の機会を楽しみにしております!
A short but beautiful sail to the reef, where we were greeted with half a dozen turtles, a ray and an eel. Stunning views of Waikiki and the crystal clear water on the catamaran. The crew was so amazing, eager to make it a good trip, and made the experience worth it.
I participated with my 8-year-old daughter. The pick-up and drop-off were on time, which was reassuring. We quickly ascended into the sky and arrived in no time. It was very calm and stable, but I was a little scared... My daughter was having a blast, swinging around! She seemed to enjoy it so much that she kept saying she wanted to do it again. I ended up buying the photo data because I wanted to have those memories, and I think $30 is a reasonable price for that.
The water splash was only up to my waist, so a bath towel wasn't necessary.
8歳の娘と参加しました。
送迎も時間通りで安心しました。
上空には一気に上がりあっという間に到着。
とても穏やかで安定していましたが、私は少し怖かったです…
娘はブランコ状態で大はしゃぎ!!
かなり楽しかったみたいで、もう一回と言い続けていました。
写真データもやっぱり欲しくなり買いましたが、思い出になるので30ドルならお安いかと思います。
海ポチャも濡れて腰くらいまでなので、バスタオルは必要なかったです。
I have participated with my mother, who is over 80 years old, for three consecutive years. I am satisfied with the staff's brightness, the thrill of the boat, and the delicious cocktails.
80歳を過ぎた母と3年連続で参加させていただいたています。
スタッフの明るさと船のスリルとおいしいカクテル 満足です。
