All Reviews for Marine and Ocean Activities

We took advantage of Golden Week to visit Okinawa as a couple from Aichi Prefecture. We had experienced parasailing in Guam, but my wife was adamant about trying it in Okinawa as well, so we quickly signed up with VELTRA three days prior. Among many options, we found a members-only monitor tour and booked it.

Since our parasailing was scheduled for the day we arrived in Okinawa, we drove our rental car to Berry. We quickly changed, completed the paperwork, and borrowed life jackets before boarding the boat anchored at the beach. The boat was so beautiful that when I asked the staff, they told me it was a new vessel that had just been launched.

Although it was a bit cloudy, we moved to the parasailing point, and the staff began preparations. They attached the equipment and gear to us, and we waited for the wind. It seemed that it was difficult to catch a good breeze that day, as we spent about 40 minutes opening and closing the parachute and falling into the sea before finally being ready with the parachute fully open. Thanks to the time taken, the cloudy weather began to clear up.

Due to the weight difference, my wife went in front while I took the back, and we were all set. Off we went into the Okinawa sky… We jumped from the boat, and as the rope extended, we quickly reached a height where all we could hear was the sound of the wind.

The view was breathtaking, with blue seas and blue skies as far as the eye could see. I took plenty of photos with my camera, feeling like a bird during our 10-minute aerial stroll. The experience was exhilarating, and we chatted happily, but before we knew it, our fun time was over as the rope was reeled back in. We watched another group of guys enjoy their aerial stroll from the boat before concluding our parasailing experience. After returning to the beach and changing in the changing room, everything was finished.

It had been a while since my last parasailing experience, but it was incredibly satisfying. The boat was new and beautiful, and the staff were friendly, making it a fun time. I definitely want to try parasailing again when I visit Okinawa!

ゴールデンウィークを利用して愛知県から夫婦２人で沖縄へ遊びに来ましたぁ。パラセーリングはグアムで体験したんですが、奥さんが絶対に沖縄でもパラセーリングしたいって事で急遽3日前にVELTRAさんに申し込みしました。たくさんある中から会員様限定モニターツアーを見つけポチりました。
沖縄到着当日のパラセーリングだったのでレンタカーにてベリーさんへ。早速着替えて手続きし、ライフジャケットを借りて海岸に停泊してあるボートに乗船。船があまりに綺麗だったのでスタッフさんに聞いたら新艇で最近おろしたばかりとの事。
少し曇り気味だったけどパラセーリングのポイントまで移動してスタッフさん準備開始。自分らにも器具やら金具を取り付けてもらい気分屋の風待ち。この日はナカナカいい風がつかめないらしく 40分ぐらいパラシュートを開いたり海に落ちたりを繰り返し ようやくパラシュート全開にて準備完了。時間かかったおかげで曇りだった天気も晴れてきた。
体重差があるので奥さんを前に 自分が後ろになりセット完了。いざ沖縄の空へ…
船から飛び出し だんだんロープが伸ばされていき、すぐに風の音しか聞こえない上空へ。
見渡す限りの青い海に 青い空。持参したカメラで撮影しまくり 鳥にでもなった気分で10分ほどの空中散歩。上空は気分爽快でヤミツキになるね^_^と会話もはずみ、楽しい時間はアッという間に終わり ロープを巻き上げ船の上に。 もう1組の兄さん達の空中散歩を船から見学してパラセーリング体験が終了。 海岸に帰って更衣室で着替えて全てが終了。
久々のパラセーリングだったけど、とても満足できた体験でした。船の新しく綺麗だし、スタッフさんも気さくな方々で楽しかったです。 また沖縄に行ったら是非パラセーリングしたいですねー

The weather was great, and I had a lot of fun.
Parasailing looked scary from the boat, but once I tried it, it felt amazing.
The banana boat was also fun. It was better than when I rode it when my kids were little.

お天気にも恵まれ楽しかったです。
パラセールは舟の上から見ていると怖そうですが
やってみると、とても気持ち良かったです。
バナナボートも楽しかったです。
子供が小さい時に乗った時より良かったです。

This was our second diving experience as a couple, and we chose this course to explore the famous Blue Cave. The sea in Okinawa is so blue! As we entered the water from the boat, colorful fish were swimming right in front of us. It was a wonderful time to fully enjoy the Okinawan sea. My wife had some trouble equalizing her ears, but we had an instructor for every two people, which made us feel secure while swimming in the Okinawan waters. Thank you! Also, if you bring an SD card, the instructor will take photos underwater for you. All the photos I posted were taken by them, and they make great memories of our trip.

We also tried marbling and jet skiing in the marine sports. Both were thrilling and provided a lot of fun experiences. During the jet ski ride, we were taken quite far from the beach, and the explanations we received along the way were interesting. I was a bit excited to hear that there are GTs a little away from the beach.

However, there were two downsides. The first was that the parking lot was a bit hard to find. I think it's a good idea to ask about it when you call the day before if you're a first-timer. The second was that it took a while for the pickup after the marine sports. Although the beautiful sea in front of us made the wait more bearable, we did wait for quite a long time. I think it's also good to confirm this in advance.

Despite these issues, it was a very enjoyable experience. I highly recommend it!

　夫婦そろって２回目のダイビング、有名な青の洞窟でと考えてこのコースをお願いしました。
沖縄の海も青い！！船上から海に入ると目の前には色とりどりの魚たちが泳いでいました。
がっつりと沖縄の海を満喫できた時間です。途中妻がうまく耳抜きができずに戸惑いましたが、二人にひとりのインストラクターさんがついてくれていたので、安心して沖縄の海を泳げました。ありがとうございました。また、ＳＤカードを持参すればインストラクターさんが海中での写真を撮ってくれます。投稿した写真は全て撮ってもらったものです。旅の良い思い出になりますよ。
　マリンスポーツではマーブルとジェットスキーを体験しました。
どちらもスリル満点でとても楽しい体験ができました。ジェットスキーではビーチからかなり離れたところまで連れて行ってくれいろいろと説明してくれたのがおもしろかったです。
ビーチから少し離れたところにもＧＴがいると聞いて少し興奮しました。
　ただ、難点が２つありました。
　一つ目は、駐車場が少しわかりにくかったです。初めての方は前日の電話連絡の際に聞いておくと良いと思います。
　二つ目は、マリンスポーツが終わった後のお迎えに時間がかかったことです。目の前がとてもきれいな海なので時間がたつのも苦になりませんでしたがかなり長い間待ってました。これも確認しておくと良いと思います。
しかし、それらを差し置いてもとても楽しい体験になりました。おすすめです。

The banana boat is a lot of fun and the snorkeling with clownfish is also good. The only issue for myself is the water is too wavy and I got a bit sea sick. Overall its highly recommend to couples and families with young children

I went to Okinawa for the first time with my friend. I was really excited to meet the handsome instructor, but once it started, he transformed into a total tough guy, haha. It was an incredibly thrilling experience. As someone who usually gets motion sickness, I didn't feel sick at all and was able to enjoy the activity! 😊

沖縄初めてのお友だちと一緒に行きました
とにかくイケメンのインストラクターさんに

It was my first experience with parasailing, and I was able to enjoy it without any worries! I apologize for causing trouble due to seasickness, but I received assistance. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy the day! The banana boat was also amazing!

パラセーリング初体験でしたがなんの不安もなく、楽しむことができました！船酔いでご迷惑をおかけしましたが補助していただきました。おかけでその日を楽しめました！バナナボートも最高でしたっ

I made a reservation because the price was low.
I was able to enjoy the refreshing and silent scenery of Okinawa from above, which was a different experience.
The banana boat ride was great; I could request not to be thrown off, so we had a blast splashing around and letting loose!

The shower is outdoors,
the changing room is basic,
and there are no lockers, so you leave your valuables in the car and just hand over the car key.

料金が安いので予約しました
空の上は涼しくて無音で一味違う沖縄の景色を満喫できました
バナナボートは落とされない感じでリクエストできたので水しぶきバンバンでキャーキャーしながいろいろ発散！！

シャワーは屋外
更衣室は簡易的
ロッカーは無く車に貴重品を入れたまま車のキーだけ預かってくれる感じです

I received a cancellation notice just at the last minute on the day of the event. Although it is something that can be affected by the weather, I couldn't help but think that they could have notified us a bit earlier. However, the instructor was very kind to us.

当日ギリギリになってから中止の連絡が来ました。。天候に左右されるものとはいえ、もう少し早く連絡できないものかと思ってしまいました。。ただ、インストラクターの方には親切にしていただきました。
