All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

I was able to see the whale's spout. I was surprised that it came out so far offshore. Some people also saw turtles. The staff's response was good, and I had a second cocktail for $3. I will definitely ride again next time.

クジラの潮吹が見えました。あんなに沖の方まで出てくれるとは思っていなかったので、ビックリ。亀を見た人もいました。スタッフの対応も良く、カクテル3$でお代わりしました。次も絶対乗ります。

The view of Hawaii from 150 meters was amazing! I usually don't get motion sickness, but it was quite bumpy, so I think it's better to take motion sickness medication for peace of mind. You can have about 80 photos taken for $30. It's fine to purchase after checking the photos. Unfortunately, the ones we took were mostly dark due to backlighting, so we had to sadly cancel them. I was really looking forward to them, so it was disappointing.

**The pickup on the day was unfortunate**
On the day we reserved, it was windy, and our booking was canceled, so we changed it to the next day. However, when the pickup time came, no one arrived. It said, "If the pickup doesn't arrive after 5 minutes, please inquire," so I borrowed a phone from the hotel front desk to call, but I couldn't get through, which made me very anxious. In the end, they arrived 20 minutes late, and when I spoke to someone who was already on board, they said they had the same pickup time as us. I wonder why the third pickup location was set for the same time. With the language barrier and being in an unfamiliar place, it created a tense atmosphere with my husband. Since we had confirmed the pickup time in advance, I don't think this is a common occurrence, but since it was a special trip, I hope improvements can be made so that it ends with good memories.

150mからのハワイの眺めは最高でした！
酔いにくい体質ですが、かなり揺れるので酔い止めは飲んだ方が、気持ち的にもいいと思います。
写真も＄30で80枚前後撮ってもらえます。
購入は写真を確認してからで大丈夫です。
私達が撮ってもらったのは逆光でほとんど暗く写っていたので、泣く泣くキャンセルしました。楽しみにしていただけに残念。

＊＊当日のピックアップが残念でした＊＊
予約した日は風が強く、キャンセルになってしまい、次の日に変更しました。
ですがピックアップ時間になっても迎えが来ず、『5分過ぎても迎えが来ない場合は問い合わせした下さい』とありましたので、ホテルのフロントで電話を借りて問い合わせをするものの連絡がつかず、とても不安になりました。
結局20分遅れで迎えがきて、先に乗ってた方に話を聞くと、1番最初に乗った方も私達と同じピックアップ時間だったそうです。
その方から3番目のピックアップ場所にも関わらず、同じ時間を設定されているのはどうなのでしょうか。慣れない土地と言葉のやり取りで不安な上に、主人とは少し険悪なムードに。
当日に遂行するのか、ピックアップ時間は間違ってないか、事前に確認を取っていたにも関わらずの出来事だったので、あまりないケースだとは思いますが、せっかくの旅行なのでいい思い出で終わるように、改善をお願いします。

I understood that the explanation would be in English, but it might be tough if you’re not really good at English! I couldn’t understand not only the explanations but also the jokes within them, so I was confused the whole time.

As for the sea, I was able to see sea turtles! However, apart from that, there were just a few black fish here and there.

There was a performance where we rode the waves? The boat rocked a lot, and the foreigners seemed to enjoy it, but it went on for more than ten times and was quite long. My husband ended up feeling sick, which affected the rest of our trip. The strong rocking continued, and I even bumped my leg against the stairs and got a bruise.

Also, it was really cold, so a jacket is a must!

英語での説明なことはわかっていましたが、本当に英語が上手でないと厳しいかもしれません！説明だけでなく、説明の中のジョークなども分からず、終始ハテナでした。
海は、海亀をみることはできました！が、それ以外は黒い魚がちらほら、です。

波に乗り？船を大きく揺らすパフォーマンスがあって、外人の方は喜んでいましたが、揺らす回数が10回以上と長く、夫は気持ち悪くなってしまいその後の旅行に影響してしまいました。大きな揺れが続き私も階段に足をぶつけあざを作ってしまいました。

あとすごく、寒かったので上着必須です！

I was nervous during my first parasailing experience, but once we reached 150 meters, it turned out to be a wonderful activity with a breathtaking view of Hawaii. I was able to slowly take in the scenery for a long time, and we ended with a gentle touch on the water (this is optional; you can also return directly to the boat without touching the sea).

I was worried because everyone around me was a foreigner, but the staff on the boat can communicate in Japanese, so I felt reassured.

There are no shower facilities, so I recommend taking the bus back to the hotel as is and having a bath there.

初めてのパラセーリングで緊張しましたが、150mまで行くとハワイの絶景が一望できる素敵なアクティビティでした。
長い間ゆっくりとハワイの景色を一望でき、最後は海に少し着く形で終えました笑(これは希望制で、海に触れずに直接船に戻ることもできます)

周りは全員外国人で大丈夫かなと心配でしたが、船の係りの人は日本語でも教えてくれるので安心です。

シャワールームはないため、そのままピックアップしてもらったバスでホテルに帰り、お風呂に入ることをオススメします。

I participated with a friend. The instructor was very helpful, and we had a full hour of fun! We started with some practice and then did stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) while maneuvering the board and paddle. It was reassuring to know that if we fell, help would be there right away, and the sea wasn't too deep, so we could enjoy SUP without worry.

Gradually, we were able to go where we wanted and even lie down on the board, enjoying our free time.

Before trying it, I thought it might be difficult and didn't have high expectations, but it turned out to be the most enjoyable time of my trip to Hawaii. I want to do it again!

友達と2人で参加しました。インストラクターの方が付いてくださり、1時間たっぷり楽しめました！最初は練習から始まり、ボートとパドルを操りながらSUPしました。落ちてもすぐ助けてくれるので安心ですし、海も凄く深いわけではないので気軽にSUPできます。

次第に自分で行きたい場所に行ったりボードの上に寝転がったり、自由な時間を過ごすことができました。

やる前は難しいかなとあまり期待していなかったのですが、ハワイ旅行の中で一番楽しい時間になりました。またやりたいです！

Arriving in Honolulu in the morning on Hawaiian Airlines from Kansai Airport with HIS's tour, you can receive your luggage, get an explanation at the HIS office, check into your hotel, and participate in activities without rushing. Although we didn't encounter any whales, it was still great.

hisのツアーで関空からハワイアン航空で朝ホノルル着、荷物を受けとりhis事務所で説明を受けホテルチェックインしてあわてずにアクティビティに参加できます。クジラには遭遇できませんでしたが⭕⭕でした。

An amazing cruise and sailing. We saw lots of turtles and tropical fishes during the snorkeling. It was amazing.

I experienced the 150m. At first, I was nervous, but it was thrilling and great. The instructors were cheerful people, which was nice. I'll definitely do it again when I come to Hawaii next time!

150mを体験しました。最初はどきどきでしたがスリルがあって良かったです。インストラクターも陽気な人達でよかった。次もハワイに来たときはやりますね！

We were all beginners at swimming and snorkeling but had a good time. The underwater photos and video was a good keepsake for our family.

This is my third time in Hawaii, but it was my first time participating in this tour. Since it included a Japanese-speaking guide, I was a bit worried about what it would be like, but the tour guide turned out to be one of the crew members and was very good at Japanese. They made the experience enjoyable with jokes and a fun atmosphere. The guide provided thorough explanations about the types of fish and the sunken ship, and I was able to encounter turtles, sharks, and manta rays, which made me very satisfied.

ハワイへは、3回目になるのですが、初めてこのツアーに参加しました。日本語ガイド付きということもあり、どんな感じだろー??と心配しながら参加しましたが、ツアーガイドさんが、なんとクルーの1人でとても、日本語が上手でジョークも交えながらとても楽しく過ごせました。魚の種類や沈んでいる船の説明もしっかりしてくれて、カメやサメ、マンタ??にも遭遇できて、とても満足しています。

The driver for the shuttle was very energetic and we had a great time getting to the location. The parasailing offered a fantastic view of Waikiki and we could see Diamond Head clearly, which was absolutely amazing! I was able to bring my GoPro, so I could capture videos and I'm really looking forward to watching them later.

I was concerned about managing my valuables and didn't bring any money, so I missed out on buying photos, which was a bit disappointing. However, it turned out that it was perfectly fine to bring valuables. Also, we had the option for a water landing, and although I got wet, there wasn't a place or time to change, so I went back to the hotel as I was.

送迎の運転手さんのテンションが高くノリノリで現地まで行けました
パラセーリングもワイキキが一望でき、ダイヤモンドヘッドもよく見え最高に楽しかっです！
goproを持って出来たので動画で残す事ができ後で見るのがとても楽しみです。
貴重品管理が気になりお金を持って行かなくて写真が買えなかったのが残念
全然貴重品は持っていって大丈夫でした
また、着水も選択でき、濡れたのですが着替える場所とタイミングがなくそのままホテルへ戻りました。

The guides were great and it was a casual relaxing boat ride with pretty views of Diamond Head and Waikiki. Didn’t get to see much but it was nice to be out on the water.

I participated with my elementary school child. We brought our own snorkeling sets. It was a luxurious experience that we don't get to have often. I will definitely join again next time.

小学生の子供つれての参加です。シュノーケリングセットは自分たちのを持って行きました。なかなか体験できない贅沢な時間でした。次回も是非参加します。

It was 150 meters. It was really great!
I thought there was relatively little wind in the morning, but up high, it sways side to side. It’s thrilling!
Looking down is really scary.
If you ask, they will take pictures from below.
You’ll receive them on an SD card for $30. I think it’s worth buying.
After coming down, there’s a wait time for others, but the loud reggae music on the boat really gives you a vacation vibe.
Watching is fun, but it can make you quite dizzy.
I’m not usually prone to motion sickness, but motion sickness medication is a must!
For those meeting on-site, the building doesn’t show up on Google Maps, but once you go, you’ll easily spot the light blue-roofed hut.

150メートルでした。すごく良かったです！
午前中は比較的風が少ないと思ったのですが、上の方は横揺れします。スリル満点！
足元を見るとすごくこわいです。
頼めば下から写真を撮ってくれます。
SDカードで渡されます。30ドルです。買ってもいい感じだと思いますよ。
降りてきたあとは他の人の待ち時間ですが、船上で大音量のレゲエがなんともバカンスな気持ちにさせてくれます。
見てるのも楽しいけどかなり酔います。
酔いやすい方ではないですが、酔い止め必須です！
現地集合の方は、Googleマップだと建物出てこないですが、行けば水色の屋根の小屋が見えるのですぐわかります。

The experience on the catamaran, sailing with the wind, was fantastic! It was great to interact with the other passengers as well. The captain and the assistant were handsome, which made me happy. I definitely want to ride again!

風を受けて走るカタマラン号が最高でした！乗合の方も楽しくて交流も出来たので良かったです。
キャプテンとアシスタントの方もイケメンで嬉しかったです。
また絶対乗りたいです！

The teacher is handsome, and I thought he only spoke English, but he can speak quite a bit of Japanese too. We all had a great time surfing together!! It was so much fun! 😊

なんといっても先生がイケメンだし英語オンリーだと思っていたら日本語も結構話せるし皆で楽しくサーフィン出来ました！！
最高に楽しかったです(^^♪

I was quite worried about whether the event would take place due to the strong winds, but it was held as scheduled. The sea was very rough, and out of five groups of passengers, one newlywed couple had to turn back because the wife was feeling nauseous and couldn't move. They ended up not being able to go parasailing. Six minutes really goes by in the blink of an eye.

この日はかなり強風で決行するのか心配でしたが予定通り開催されました。海も大荒れで5組の乗客のうち、1組の新婚カップルの奥様が吐き気で身動きできず、結局ご主人様と2人はパラセーリングをすることが出来ずUターン。6分間は本当にあっという間です。

I went parasailing for the first time in Hawaii! I couldn't imagine how high 150 meters would be, but it was a bit shaky, and the view was amazing!

The guide was really funny, so definitely try to chat with them!

When we went, there were about six groups, but the boat rocked quite a bit, and we had to stay on the boat until everyone was done, so I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication. Out of the 12 participants, three people felt unwell. Make sure you're in good health and have a great time making memories!

ハワイにて人生初めてのパラセーリングでした！
150mがどのくらいの高さが想像できなかったのですが、多少揺れるけど、景色は最高でしたー！

ガイドの方が面白いのでぜひ話してみてください！！

私たちのときは6組くらいで行ったのですが、
船がかなり揺れるのと、みんなが終わるまでは船に乗っていなければいけないので、
酔い止めを飲んでおくのが良いと思います。
参加者12人中3名が気分が悪くなっていました。
体調も万全でいって、楽しい思い出にしてください！

The instructor is a Hawaiian uncle (or grandfather?) who seems to have merged with the sea, a true professional. He was very friendly and remembered some necessary Japanese phrases (like "paddle" and "paddle more").

When you go into the water with the instructor, you can go quite deep. I was able to see a turtle swimming by. I can't forget the turtle that looked over at me while taking a slow breath.

Whether you're traveling as a couple or with family, you absolutely should try paddle surfing!

先生はハワイアンのおじさん（おじいさん？）で、
もはや海と同化しているようなプロです。
感じもよくて、必要な日本語も覚えていました。
（漕いで～、もっと漕いで～など）

先生と海に入るときはかなり深いところまで行けます。
カメが横を泳いでいくのも見られました。
ゆっくり息継ぎをしながらこっちをじろりと見たカメさんが忘れられないです。

二人旅でも、家族でも、パドルサーフィンは絶対やったほうがいいですよ！

Superrrr fun will definitely recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great experience! Easy sign up, inexpensive, great crew.

Only suggestion is to be more specific as to where to meet.

We participated with a total of nine relatives. The weather was great, and the sunset over Honolulu from the boat was amazing. There were not many Japanese people, but several military parties were on board, and everyone was having a great time from the start. The boat didn't rock too much, so I didn't get seasick. Next time I come to Honolulu, I would love to go again.

親類総勢９名で参加しました。天気もよく船上から見るホノルルの夕焼けは最高でした。日本人は少なく軍人のパーティが何組か乗船して出発から大乗で楽しんでいました。船はそんなに揺れなくて船酔いはしませんでした。
次回、ホノルルに来たら又、乗りたいです。

The surfing instructor looked just like Tom Cruise, and he was kind, cheerful, and fun. The older sister I learned with was also friendly and kind, and we became really close. I want to do it again.

サーフィンの先生はトムクルーズにそっくりで、優しくて愉快で楽しかったです。一緒に学んだお姉さんも気さくで優しくて、すごく仲良くなりました。またやりたいです。

I experienced 150 meters. During our time, there were 11 people on the boat, and since it was in pairs, one person in each group was an observer. We took turns jumping, and the staff was well-organized and smooth in their arrangements. I could speak a little Japanese, and although one person was feeling a bit seasick, they were very kind in their response! They take photos for $40, and while pretending to cut the rope, they captured great shots during the jump and landing, making for wonderful memories. The view from above was great, and we had quite a bit of time, so we were able to relax and enjoy the scenery of Hawaii! Thank you for bringing my wife along. I was satisfied saying that!

150メートルを体験しました。私たちの時はボートに11人乗船し、2人ずつなので5組内1人は見学でした。順番に飛ばしていくのですが、スタッフさんの段取りもよくスムーズでした。多少日本語が喋れるし、1人船酔い気味の人がいましたが、とても親切に対応してました！写真を40ドルで撮ってくれるのですが、ロープを切るフリをしながら撮影や着水撮影、その他良い写真を撮ってもらって良い思い出になりました。上空では眺めも良く結構時間があるので、ハワイの風景を眺めながらゆっくりした時間が過ごせました！奥さんは連れてきてくれてありがと。言っていて私も満足しました！

You are pretty much just paying for a ride there. It is a very pretty hike, I would make sure to wear shoes with traction as it does get pretty slippery towards the top. Q lot of good picture spots.

Diving down to 100 feet, we could see the sunken ship and artificial coral reefs. Around them, many fish, sharks, and turtles swam gracefully. It seemed like the kids really enjoyed this first-time experience.

100フィートまで潜水すると、沈められた船や人工の珊瑚礁が見えました。そのまわりに沢山の魚やサメ、亀が優雅に泳ぐのが見えました。初めての体験に子供達も楽しめたようです。

This is my second time participating, following last year! This time, the boat swayed a bit in the breeze, but I was able to enjoy it with participants from Kuwait! I'm writing this while enjoying the beautiful scenery and feeling the wind, and I definitely want to participate again! 😊

去年に続き2回目の参加です！
今回は少し風が吹くなか船が揺れましたが、クウェートからの参加者と一緒に楽しむことができました！素敵な景色を堪能して風に吹かれてまた参加したいと思いながらこれを書いてます(^^)

I made a mistake with the meeting place, but when I contacted the local office, they didn't understand me very well. Just when I was wondering what to do, I received a call from a VELTRA staff member who arranged for someone to come and pick me up from my current location. Thanks to that, I was able to go parasailing! Thank you very much.

Parasailing was very pleasant, and I had an amazing experience.

集合場所を間違えてしまいましたが現地連絡所に連絡かけたところあまり伝わらずどうしようと思っていたらベルトラスタッフから電話がかかって来て今いる場所迎えに来てもらえるように連絡して頂きそこで乗せてもらいパラセーリングをすることができました！
ありがとうございました

パラセーリングはとても気持ち良くすごくいい体験が出来ました

It was my first time parasailing, and even at 150 meters, it was not scary at all and was really fun! I would love to try a higher one if available! There were three other groups, and two of them were Japanese, who were very nice people, so I had a great time. I think it's better to wear a rash guard since you get a bit wet! Also, I recommend bringing a bath towel! I gave a tip of $10 per person (to two crew members and one driver, totaling $30). Please use this as a reference!

人生初のパラセーリングでしたが、150mでも全然怖くなくて楽しかったです‼︎もっと高いのがあればやってみたいです‼︎
他にも3組いましたが2組は日本人でとても良い人達だったので楽しく過ごせました♪
多少濡れるのでラッシュガードは着てった方が良いと思います‼︎
あとバスタオルも持って行った方が良いと思います‼︎
チップは1人10ドル渡しました‼︎（船の乗組員2人と送迎ドライバー1人、合計30ドル）
参考にして下さい‼︎

It's a wonderful activity where you can enjoy the scenery of Hawaii from the sky in a relaxed manner. Before starting, I was a bit nervous thinking it might be scary, but in reality, it wasn't scary at all. You ascend slowly and descend slowly, so there's no fear of falling, which is reassuring.

If I had to say something, I felt a bit uneasy not being able to confirm if we were at the height we ordered. If you can't speak English, you can't properly communicate with the instructor about the height. Since the prices vary, it's better to avoid any worries in this regard.

ハワイの空から景色をほのぼのと眺められるとても良いアクティビティです。
始める前は怖いかな？とドキドキしていましたが、実際には全然怖くありませんでした。
ゆっくり上がり、ゆっくり降ろしてもらえ、落ちる恐怖感もないので安心できます。

強いて言えば、注文したプラン通りの高さなのか自分では確認できないところが若干不安ですね。
こちらが英語が話せないとインストラクターの方にちゃんと高さが伝わってるのか確認できません。
料金が異なるので、この辺りの憂いは無いほうがいいですね。
