Hawaii
I challenged myself and my 8-year-old child to the 120-meter ride. That day, there was strong wind from the morning, and I was wondering if it would be canceled because the wind was so strong. Once we got up there, my child started crying! I was also scared and didn't have the composure to enjoy the view because I just wanted to get down quickly. I would like to try it again when the wind is calmer.
8歳の子供と2人で120メートルに挑戦しました。その日は朝から強風で中止になるのかなー??って思うくらい風が強い日で、上に上がったら子供は大泣き!!自分も怖く早く降りたい!!って気持ちで景色を見る余裕がなかったです。もっと風の穏やかな時にもう一度やってみたいです。
Parasailing was the #1 thing I wanted to do on Oahu. The boat was in great shape. The staff was informative and courteous. They were not aware, but I've recently lost almost 80lbs, so I've never been able to do this activity with my family before, I was nervous. They were so calm and their instructions were clear. I had the most amazing experience and cannot imagine not doing it again! Buy the photos!!! They are soooo worth it!
The staff was all fun and lively throughout!
There are Japanese-speaking staff at the reception, so it's reassuring.
It's possible to have other passengers take your photos, but if you ask the staff, they will take them with a DSLR (there is a fee of $30).
The boat sways quite a bit, so be careful of seasickness.
楽しいスタッフばかりで、終始ノリノリでした!
受付に日本語のスタッフもいるので安心です
他の乗客に写真を撮ってもらうのも可能ですが、スタッフに頼むと、一眼レフで撮ってくれます。(お金はかかります。30ドル)
かなり船が揺れるので、船酔い注意です。
The pop music van arrived right on time!
While dropping off the previous guests, they efficiently picked up the next ones! As soon as we got on, we were handed a board with "sign!" written on it. It was filled with English, which left me a bit confused, but I guess it meant they wouldn't take responsibility if anything happened. I just wrote my name on it casually, haha.
This tour is entirely in English, no Japanese at all! The pickup guy, the receptionist, the two cheerful guys on the boat, and all the other participants besides our family were English-only.
But it wasn't a problem. We managed with smiles and gestures!
I participated after taking motion sickness medication. About ten minutes out to sea, we met an American family: the dad and son first, then the mom and daughter!
And then it was our siblings! We were in a really bumpy boat, but they helped us get our gear on, haha. After about ten minutes up there, they pointed at the two of us and asked, "Okay?" so we said okay! okay! haha! We splashed down to our waists and then back up into the air!!! We laughed so much!
Next, it was my husband and me! It was amazing! The sea was blue! Haha! The scenery was so beautiful, and the refreshing breeze was wonderful! I really want everyone to try this.
It felt like the boat was going to head back, so we requested to splash down a bit more, and they obliged. It was really fun.
However! If you're prone to motion sickness, you will probably get sick! My son was holding a red bucket on the way back to shore, almost about to throw up. I also tend to get motion sickness easily, but I managed by:
1. Deciding I wouldn't get sick! Haha
2. Sitting up straight to keep my upper body extended (making my sitting height taller)
3. Looking far ahead and not moving my head too much
4. Staying high-energy and having fun
5. Letting the guys handle the photos and videos with the SD card
You can manage it too! Give it a try!
時間どうりにポップな音楽のバンがピックアップ!
終わった人を下ろしながら、次の人をピックアップする!という効率的!
のるとすぐに、「sign!」とボードを渡される。英語がいっぱい書いてあって、???だったけど、まぁ、何かあっても責任持ちませんよってことですね。 適当に名前書いておきました笑。
このツアーは日本語、全く❌です!
ピックアップのおじさんも、受付のおじさんも、ボートのノリの良いお兄さん2人も、そして私たち家族以外の参加者も、全員Englishオンリーでした。
でも、問題ありませんでした。
笑顔とジェスチャーでのりきれます!
酔い止めの薬を飲んでの参加。
10分くらい沖に出て、アメリカ人ご家族のお父さんと息子!つぎにお母さんと娘!
そして、うちの姉弟!すごく揺れるボートのうえでの器具装着もお任せ状態、笑。
上で10分くらいかな、、段々降りてきて2人を指差して「ボチャン オッケー?」と聞かれたのでオッケー!オッケー!笑笑!
腰まで一度ボチャンしてからまた、空へ!!!大笑いしちゃいました!
つぎに私たち夫婦!
すごかったです! 海は青いです!笑!
こんなに綺麗な景色と爽快な風!みなさんやってほしいです。
そのまま、ボートは戻っちゃう?という感じだったので、ボチャン〜〜ボチャン〜〜とリクエストしてやってもらいました。ホントにたのしかった。
しかし!
酔いやすい人は、たぶん、必ず酔います!
息子は岸までの帰りは赤いバケツを抱えてました吐く寸前。
私も実はすごく酔いやすいのですが、
1 酔わない!とキメる 笑
2 座ったら上半身をしっかり伸ばす(座高を高く)
3 遠くをみる。あまりキョロキョロしない
4 テンション高く 楽しむ
5 写真 ビデオはおにいさんたちに任せる。SDカード
で、のりきれます。やってみてください!
This was our first time as I have a great fear of heights and my husband of water. The entire experience starting from the curb side pick up to the drop off was very pleasurable. Everyone is about their customers safety first. We went with the 800ft ride. The views from that height are amazing along with the silence. It was a total adrenaline rush. We wanted to go again and again. Everyone there are all super friendly and knowledgeable.
Thanks guys for making my birthday magical. We will be back later this year to do it again.
I flew first thing in the morning, and it felt amazing to see the sunrise while flying. You can choose whether or not to do the "japon," so if you decide not to, it's fine not to wear a swimsuit. It's better to have a towel. It can get quite bumpy, so if you are prone to motion sickness, take some motion sickness medication!
If you have a camera with a zoom lens, you can take photos from below without having to pay the $30 for professional shots. Many people were asking each other to take pictures, which made for some fun interactions with other participants.
I had a great time and I'm glad I participated.
朝一番の時間帯でその中でも一番最初に飛んだので朝日を見ながら飛べてすごく気持ち良かったです。ジャポンをするかしないか選べるのでしない場合は水着を着て行かなくても大丈夫です。タオルはあった方が良いです。結構揺れるので酔われる方は酔い止めを!
写真も望遠があるカメラなら30ドル払って撮ってもらわなくても下からでも撮れます!なので、みんなお互いに他の参加してた方に頼んでたりしてました。それはそれで他の方と交流があって楽しかったです。
とても楽しくて参加して良かったです。
As others have mentioned in their reviews, the pickup time was delayed, but they contacted us by phone. There was no fear at all, and it was very pleasant. 120 meters was more than enough! I ordered photos for $30, but there were quite a few that were blurry.
他の方のレビューに書いてある通り、迎えの時間は遅れましたが、電話で連絡してくれました。
怖さは全然なくてとっても気持ちよかったです。
120メートルでも十分でした!
写真は30ドルで頼みましたが、ボケている写真が結構多かったです。
Surfing for the first time as a couple!!!
We had a one-on-one private lesson.
The weather was great, and both of us were able to catch a good wave right away (^^)
We also had 400 photos taken, which became the best memories.
We look forward to the next time!
夫婦で初サーフィン!!!
マンツーマンのプライベートレッスン。
天気もよく2人共いい波を1発で乗れました(^^)
写真も400枚も撮ってもらい最高の思い出になりました。
また次回もお願いします。
Aloha,
Thank you for participating in the surfing lesson. I'm glad to hear that you were satisfied with the private lesson, as it allows us to tailor the content to each individual. It's not often that you get the chance to have a professional photographer capture your surfing moments, so please make sure to utilize those photos. We look forward to seeing you next time!
MAHALO!
Aloha,
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。
プライベートレッスンですとお一人お一人に合った内容でのレッスンが可能ですので満足して頂けて嬉しく思います。
プロのカメラマンにサーフィン姿を撮ってもらえる機会はなかなか無いので、是非写真を活用してください。
次回もお待ちしてます!
MAHALO!
Since we booked the earliest time slot, there were only two groups on board: an Australian couple and us. We were able to use our time efficiently without getting seasick. After finishing parasailing, I noticed that there were five groups of passengers waiting for the next trip, and I felt it was a waste to be on the boat during that time.
What was unclear was about the tipping. The Australian couple did not give a tip, but I handed over $10 when we disembarked. Since it was stated that tips were not included, I wondered if I should have also given something to the person who provided our transportation. It might be clearer for Japanese customers if the price included tips.
朝一番の時間帯で申し込んだので、乗船したのはオーストラリア人カップルと私たちの二組のみ。
短時間で船酔いすることなく効率よく時間を使えました。パラセーリングを終え、次の回の乗船客を見ると、5組いたので待ち時間の間、船に乗ってる時間がもったいないと思いました。
わかりにくいのは、チップについて。一緒に乗船したオーストラリア人は、渡していませんでしたが、私は下船時に10ドル渡しました。チップ込でないと書かれているので、本当だったら送迎をしてくださった方にも渡したほうがいいのかなとも思いました。日本人客用にチップ込の値段にしたほうがわかりやすいかもしれないですね。
When I checked the meeting place on Google Maps, it ended up being along H1, so I confirmed it at the hotel front desk and headed there cautiously. First, we drove to check the parking and location, and in the end, we walked from the Sheraton where we were staying to Keauhou Bay. It was about the size of a private beach, and we could easily reach it from the opposite side.
It was our first time kayaking, and as expected, we didn't make much progress at first, but the weather was really nice that day, and we were able to reach the cave safely! As mentioned in other comments, it's better to have sandals that won't come off or trekking shoes. Depending on the weather, there may be times when you can't reach the land, so it's best to bring them just in case. We only had beach sandals, but the guide said, "They float in water, so if you drop them, you can just pick them up, so it's not a problem."
I recommend getting a waterproof disposable camera sold on-site, as it allows you to take photos without worry. Also, my husband only got sunburned on the inside of his feet. It's best to be fully prepared for sun protection.
集合場所をGoogleMapで確認すると、H1沿いになってしまうのでホテルのフロントで確かめて慎重に向かいました。まずは車で行き駐車場や場所を確認し、結局は今回宿泊していたシェラトンから歩いてケアウホウ湾に行きました。プライベートビーチぐらいの大きさで反対側にいても問題なくたどり着ける距離でした。
カヤックは主人も私も初めてで、思った通りになかなか進まなかったりしましたが、この日は本当に天気が良く無事に洞窟までたどり着くことができました!
他の人のコメントにあったとおり、脱げないサンダルやトレッキング用シューズがあったほうが良いです。天候によっては陸地にいけないこともありますが、念のため持って行ったほうがよいです。私たちはビーチサンダルしかなかったのですが、ガイドのお兄さんが「水に浮くから落としても拾えるから問題ない」と言ってました。
現地で売ってる防水の使い捨てカメラがあると気兼ねなく写真を撮ることができるのでお勧めです。
あと、主人は足の内側だけ焼けてました。日焼け対策は万全にしておいたほうが良いです。
The staff were all so friendly and welcoming! Activities were amazing, we did the parasailing and the jet skiing and it was truly a great experience! I wish we went higher in the parasail (we went 800ft) but it was still breathtaking. From the time we were picked up from our hotel to the time we returned, I could not have asked for better service. I can not fault them at all and I would highly recommend this to anyone!!!
Such an incredible adventure! Definitely worth the money spent!
I'm glad I was able to participate after signing up the day before. I registered for the 120m jump, but it felt like I flew up to 150m. It was a bit scary, but it was amazing!
参加日の前日申し込んで無事に参加が出来てよかったです、120mの申し込んだが150mまで飛んだ気がした。少し怖かったが、最高ですす
The day we were suppose to ride it was raining and a bit cold. We tried to reschedule but it was not available on a Saturday or Sunday so we were offered other choices and we went tubing and it was awesome!!!!

FAAAAAABULOUS!! Great, casual way to spend a morning or afternoon. Plenty of snorkeling, splashing, swimming. You can relax on the boat or entertain yourself in the water while you wait for your ride. The people were fun, helpful, and organized. Fish were plentiful. The sea turtle was a special treat.
I was really anxious about surfing for the first time, but I happened to have a Japanese guide who taught me while praising me, and I was able to stand up even as a beginner! It's a shame I don't have any photos, but I want to go to Hawaii again to surf.
初めてのサーフィンですごく不安でしたが、たまたま日本人のガイドさんで誉めながら教えてくださり、初めてでも立つことが出来ました!
写真が残っていないのが残念ですが、またサーフィンをしにハワイに行きたいです。
Aloha!
Thank you for participating in the surfing lesson.
Many of you expressed anxiety about your first surfing experience, but we strive to make the lessons enjoyable and safe, so we are very happy to hear that you had a great time.
Please come back to Hawaii to surf again!
We look forward to seeing you.
MAHALO!
Aloha!

是非、またハワイへサーフィンをしに来てください!
お待ちしております。
MAHALO!
Kevin is the guru of snuba!! Very knowledgeable and accommodating, we were a little timid at first but he was great. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. Great time!
So wonderful perfect staff wonderful experience. Trip went by to fast
Nice professional group of divers all eager to take us newbies down! They took the time to ensure we were all feeling safe and comfortable. Great bunch of people.
The kayaking was great, the ocean was fantastic. Our guide Po was easy going and put me right at ease. I felt well taken care of despite my inexperience on the ocean as well as kayaking. He even got me to do a little kayak surfing into the waves!!! Loved it!
My long-awaited beach yoga in Hawaii. We gathered in front of the Honolulu Zoo early in the morning and then headed to Waikiki Beach together. The yoga instructor was very cheerful and kind, making it easy for both beginners and experienced participants to join in.
Doing beach yoga while looking at the ocean was incredibly refreshing, and I felt free and relaxed. The pleasant temperature, clean air, the sound of the waves, and the chirping of the birds were all soothing. I felt energized. I was so focused that before I knew it, about an hour had passed!
I’m really glad I participated in beach yoga this time. I have some experience with yoga, but it felt so much better than indoor yoga in Japan. Next time I come to Hawaii, I will definitely join beach yoga again!
念願だったハワイでのビーチヨガ。早朝からホノルル動物園前に集まり、そのまま皆でワイキキビーチへ。ヨガインストラクターさんはとっても明るくて優しいので、はじめての方でも経験のある方でも気軽に参加できました。
海を眺めながらのビーチヨガはとても気持ちよく、のびのびと出来ました。また清々しい快適な気温、綺麗な空気、波の音や鳥のさえずりなど聞き癒されました。エネルギーをもらえました。とても集中していたので、気づけば1時間位経っていました!
今回ビーチヨガに参加して、本当に良かったです。私はヨガの経験はありますが、日本の室内でのヨガとは違い本当に気持ちよかったです。次にハワイに来る時も絶対ビーチヨガに参加します!
I had some anxiety about it being scary, but I'm glad I did it.
We rode in a boat with four pairs, totaling eight people.
We arrived in about five minutes. I was worried about getting seasick, but it was not a problem at all.
There was an explanation in English at the beginning, but I didn't really understand it (laughs).
The newlyweds went first, and then at the end, we all went "plop" into the sea. I thought it was a bit unpleasant to be completely soaked.
When it was my turn, I desperately pleaded, "Soft plop, please!!" (laughs).
While flying, it felt very graceful and pleasant, and I didn't feel scared at all. There was even a rainbow, which was amazing.
The flying time was just right.
Finally, the plop came, and with exquisite control, I got wet only up to my backside, which was fantastic.
It was my first time, but it was really great.
怖いかもという不安もありましたがやってよかったです。
二人ずつ4組8人でボートに乗りました。
5分くらいで到着。船酔いも心配でしたが全く問題無かったです。
始めに英語で説明がありましたがよくわからなかったです(笑)
最初に新婚さんが飛んで最後に「ドボン」と海に浸かりました。結構ずぶ濡れで嫌だなーと思いました。
自分の番になったときに「ソフトドボンプリーズ!!」と必死に訴えました(笑)
飛んでるときはとても優雅で気持ちよく、怖さは感じなかったです。虹も出ていて最高でした。
飛んでる時間も丁度良かったです。
いよいよドボンがやって来ましたが、絶妙なコントロールでお尻くらいまでが濡れる程度でそれも最高でした。
初めてでしたがとっても良かったです。
I participated in a parasailing tour for the first time, and it was guided in English (I was surprised to see it listed as an English guide on the day of the reservation). There were no Japanese participants, but the driver of the shuttle could speak a little Japanese and was a funny person. The tour guide didn't speak any Japanese at all but was very enthusiastic and a great person. I was extremely nervous about parasailing for the first time, and although I'm a bit afraid of roller coasters, it felt completely different! I was scared, so I chose to go at a height of 90, but once I was flying, I didn't mind the height at all! The boat ride from the port took about 10 to 15 minutes, and the first group started parasailing for about 5 minutes. There were four groups, including mine, and it ended in no time, with no seasickness at all! I was told I could fly with my GoPro, so I didn't have to buy the photo data from the guide, which was $30. I'm really glad I did it!! Highly recommended!!!
初めてのパラセイリングで尚且つ英語ガイドのツアーに参加しました(当日予約表をみたら英語ガイドとなっていてビックリ)ガイドも参加者も日本人は一人もいなかったけど、送迎車の人は少しだけ日本語できて面白い人、ツアーガイドは全く日本語通じないけど盛り上げてくれてかなりいい人、とにかく初めてのパラセイリングめちゃくちゃ緊張したけど、ジェットコースターが少し苦手ですが、全く違う感覚でした!怖かったので高さ90にしてしまいましたが、飛んでしまえば全く高さ気にならないです!港から船のっている時間も10分〜15分程度で1組目のパラセイリングが始まり飛んでる時間も5分程度、自分合わせて4組いましたがあっという間に終わり船酔いも全くなかったです!
ゴープロも持ったまま飛んでいいと言われたのでガイドが撮ってくれる写真のデータを買うこともなく済みました!ちなみに写真データ$30
本当にやってよかったです!!おすすめ!!!
Even though I had some problems getting farther down underwater, I am glad I did this tour. You leave right from the beach, no boats involved and you have a 20 foot airline from a tank that floats above and can be brought to wherever the dive takes you. The waves were a bit rough during the "dive" but we did see fish and an octopus.
This is a must do in Honolulu! The service was great. They provided pick up and drop off service which really helped. Once you reach their office the staff explains the process in a very simplified way. On board the boat there were refreshments and the staff was very friendly :)
I participated in daytime sailing. The view of Waikiki from the sea was refreshing, and even though it was January, it wasn't cold and was a comfortable sailing experience. There were few Japanese people, mostly Westerners, allowing me to enjoy the atmosphere of being abroad. I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take anti-nausea medication in advance. The sailing lasted longer than I expected, so by the end, I did feel a bit nauseous.
昼間のセーリングに参加しました。
海から見るワイキキは新鮮で、一月でしたが寒くもなく、快適なセーリングでした。
日本人は少なく、ほとんど欧米の方で、外国に来た雰囲気を味わえます。
車酔いや船酔いをしやすい方は事前に酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。
結構思ったよりも長いセーリングだったので、最後の方はさすがに気持ち悪くなりました。
We experienced surfing as a family of four. It was everyone’s first time except for me, but the instructor was kind and taught us well, so everyone was able to ride the waves and had a great time. (It was a bit hard for my uncle. (>_<))
家族4人でサーフィンを体験してみました。
私以外は初体験でしたがインストラクターの方が
親切に教えてくれたので皆、波に乗れて楽しかったです。
(おじさんにはちょっとハードでした。(>_<))
Aloha!
Thank you for participating in the surfing lesson. We strive to provide careful instruction so that even first-time surfers can ride the waves confidently, and we are all delighted that you enjoyed it.
Please be sure to visit us again when you come back to Hawaii!
Mahalo!
Aloha!
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。
サーフィン初体験でも波に確実に乗れるように丁寧な指導を心掛けておりますので、
楽しんで頂けてスタッフ一同嬉しく思います。
ハワイへまたお越しの際は是非お寄りください!
Mahalo!
I was able to see sea turtles and small fish up close with the underwater scooter. The stand-up paddleboarding was fun as the whole family could paddle while standing. The staff spoke Japanese, which made us feel at ease while having fun.
水中スクーターではウミガメ・小さな魚達を近くで見ることができました。スタンドアップパドルボードは家族全員立ってこげるようになり、楽しかったです。スタッフの方も日本語が話せる方だったので安心して遊ぶことができました。
The parasailing flight was fun and I felt safe the whole time. Would do again.
