All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

We used it with our family, including a first grader and older children, in late December.

It was around the time when whale watching starts, and we considered a boat cruise, but thought it might be boring if we didn't see any whales, so we opted for a yacht, which turned out to be a good choice. It didn't sway much, and instead, it was refreshing to feel the thrill of the waves. However, my younger child seemed a bit scared at first from the rocking, so while it wasn't dangerous, it might have been a bit too early for them.

The cruise lasted an hour and a half, going around the other side of Diamond Head. On the way there, we felt excited, and on the way back, we were a bit more calm. Opinions might differ on whether it was worth the price, but I felt like I experienced Hawaii, and I was happy with it. As many have mentioned, I had been interested in beach yachts for a while, and even though the programs are different, it would cost two to three times more in Japan's Shonan.

By the way, it was fully booked with about 40 people, but our family was the only Japanese. I didn't understand much English, but since it was just about feeling the waves and the wind, language didn't really matter.

小１と高学年の子供と家族で、12月下旬に利用。

クジラが始まる頃で、船クルーズも考えたけど、見えなかったらツマラナイと思い、ヨットにしたけど良かったです。
そんなに揺れないし、むしろ波を感じる疾走感で爽快だったけど、下の子が、最初は波に揺られているのが怖い様子だったので、危険はないけど、ちょっと早かったかな。
ダイアモンドヘッドの向こう側まで回り込む一時間半のクルーズ。行きは気分が高揚、帰りは少し冷静にという感じなので、高い・安いは、ギリギリ意見が別れるかも知れないけど、ハワイ体験した気分になり、僕は良かったです。
みんなが書いている通り、前々からビーチのヨットが気になっていたし、日本の湘南だとプログラムは違えど、２～３倍はかかるし。

なお、約４０人の満員でしたが、日本人は我が家族のみ。英語は余り分からなかったけど、波を感じ風を感じるだけなので、言葉は関係ないですもんね。

The weather was perfect, making it an ideal day for parasailing. As soon as we set out, the instructions were in English, but there was also a proper Japanese manual available. Since photography was not allowed on the boat, I requested some photos. (I would have appreciated prior information about the use of waterproof cameras and that participants would not be able to take photos simultaneously.)

After waiting in line, it was finally our turn! The view was, of course, amazing and a lot of fun! Those with a fear of heights might find it challenging! While I was distracted by the scenery, there was a signal from the boat via the rope that indicated it was time to take photos. The fee was $30, which I thought was reasonable.

The actual time spent up in the air was just under 5 minutes, but the satisfaction exceeded that. The local staff had some funny moments, creating a friendly atmosphere, so the waiting time was not a burden. I thought about wanting to challenge myself to go even higher next time!

I was very satisfied with the monitor tour and shared the photos and fun stories with my family. If you go to Hawaii, it's definitely worth experiencing at least once!!!

お天気にも恵まれ、最高のパラセイリング日和でした。 沖に出るなり、英語での説明でしたが、きちんと日本語の説明書もありました。船内では写真撮影ができないため、写真を希望しました。（事前に防水カメラの使用可、参加者が同時に体験することで写真撮影不可などの説明がほしかった）
順番待ちをして、いざ出番！眺めはもちろん、かなり楽しいです！高所恐怖症の方は厳しいかもしれませんね！ 途中眺めに気をとられていると、船からロープを伝って合図があり、写真を撮るよ！との合図あり。料金は、＄30ですが、高くはないかなーと思います。
実際に上がっている時間は5分ないくらいですが、それ以上に満足感があります。 現地スタッフの方も笑わせてくれるポイントがあるので、和気あいあいとしており待っている時間も苦ではないです。 次回はさらに高く挑戦したいと思いました！
モニターツアーに大満足し、家族へ写真と楽しい話で盛り上がりました。
是非、Hawaiiへ行ったら1度は体験する価値ありますよ!!!

I wanted to fly over the crystal-clear blue ocean in Hawaii, so I decided to participate in parasailing this time. The driver for the pickup only spoke English, but they provided us with consent forms in Japanese, so there were no issues at all. The meeting place was easy to find, making it very convenient. We picked up other participants and it was about a 10-minute drive from the city center. We waited for the previous group to return by boat, and finally, it was our turn. Each boat holds about 10 people, and we were the only Japanese participants. (By the way, everyone else was a couple. Haha.) The handsome guys on the boat occasionally spoke a few words in Japanese. There were instructions available in both English and Japanese. Most participants were in just their swimsuits, but if you don't want to get wet, you can let them know, and they will avoid the performance where you get into the water, so some people wore T-shirts. The boat itself rocked more than I had imagined. If you are prone to seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication before participating. For parasailing, you wear a life jacket in turn. When you’re not up in the air, you basically just enjoy the view of the ocean. The moment you take off is very exciting and fun! The time spent up in the air isn’t very long, but since you’re just flying, I think that duration is just right. When landing, they performed a little splash landing, which was also enjoyable. While you’re up there, it can feel a bit boring, but the view is amazing! Also, as it says on the boat, tips are not included.

ハワイの透き通るような青い海の上を飛んでみたい！ということで今回パラセイリングの参加をきめました。送迎のドライバーさんは英語のみですが、同意書なども日本語の用紙を渡されるので特に問題ありません。集合場所もわかりやすくとても楽でした。車でほかの参加者の方をピックアップして街の中心から１０分ほどのところでした。前の回の方が船で帰ってくるのを待ち、いよいよ私たちの番。一つの船は大体１０名くらいで、日本人は私たちだけでした。（ちなみに私たち以外みんなカップルでした。笑）船のｲｹﾒﾝお兄さんたちは日本語の単語をたまに話してくれます。説明書も英語と日本語の２通りがありました。ほとんどの参加者の方は水着だけの状態になって参加していましたが、濡れたくない場合は言えば海につかるパフォーマンスは避けてくれるそうで、Tシャツを着たままの方もいました。船自体は、想像していたよりも揺れました。酔いやすい方は、酔い止めを飲んでからの参加をおすすめします。パラセイリングは、順番にライフジャケットを着用して行います。自分がやっているとき以外は基本海を眺めてるのみです。飛ぶ瞬間はとてもワクワクで楽しいです！上に上がっている時間自体はそんなに長くないですが、特に飛んでいるだけなのでそれくらいでちょうどよいのかなと思います。降りるときに、お尻あたりが着水するパフォーマンスをしてくれてそれも楽しかったです。上にいる間は少し退屈感もありますが、眺めは最高です！あと、船にも書いてありますがチップは別だそうです。

I was really anxious about whether I could do it since I have a fear of heights, but I signed up at my husband's request. In our group, there was another Japanese couple and three groups of foreigners. The guide didn't understand Japanese, but I think I was able to understand the explanations through gestures and such.

As for the paragliding, I was scared when we were leaving the boat and going up into the air, but once I was floating in the sky, I was able to enjoy the scenery! I also signed up for photos, and even though it was expensive, I think it's definitely worth it!!!

高所恐怖症の私ができるのかめちゃくちゃ不安でしたが、夫の希望で申し込みました。
同じグループには、私たち以外にもう一組日本人カップルと、あとは外国人グループが３組でした。ガイドさんは日本語はわかわからないけど、仕種とかで何となく説明とか理解できたと思います。
肝心のパラセイリングですが、ボートから空へと離れて行くときが怖かったけど、空に浮いたら景色を堪能できる余裕ができました！写真も申し込みましたが、高くてもあれは申込んた方がいいと思います！！！

I participated with my 8-year-old son.

The cool pickup trolley arrived 10 minutes late (which was expected). At this point, my son was getting excited. We had quite a thrilling drive and arrived at Kewalo Bay.

The boarding process for the boat was smooth, and we started with five groups on board. The two instructors provided precise guidance in broken Japanese, and reading the written instructions eased any anxiety.

We wore life jackets and took turns jumping in, while the instructor informed us about the sale of a photo CD for $30. However, since we didn't know what was included, we weren't sure if it was expensive or cheap. We flew with our smartphones in waterproof cases.

Our turn was last, and while watching the others, I was thinking of requesting a dry landing, but we ended up getting splashed in the sea. That said, it was just enough to soak our backsides, which felt oddly pleasant. The weather was clear, and with calm winds, the flight was very comfortable. My 8-year-old son seemed to thoroughly enjoy being above the blue sea and sky. He even waved to everyone on the boat and was smiling the whole time, saying he wanted to do it again as soon as we landed.

When I asked the instructor, he mentioned that each group would fly for 700 feet, but it felt like it was over in no time. On the way back, there was a bit of a delay with other groups, but I chatted with a mom who was there with her daughter in the same grade, so I didn't mind.

The price was cheaper compared to others, and the tour was well-organized, so we were satisfied and created great memories.

Lastly, I have one thing to say to the organizers. The rough driving of the driver on the way to Kewalo Bay was the only and biggest downside. Perhaps due to the delay in pickup, the driver was organizing the participant list while driving and tended to cross lanes. We were made to sign a waiver regarding fatal accidents in the car, but what exactly does that cover? Accidents due to clear negligence on the driver's part are unacceptable.

Since you are carrying customers, I hope you will maintain a focus on safe driving.

8歳の息子と参加しました。

カッコいいピックアップトロリーは10分遅れで到着。(想定内)
この時点で息子はテンションアップ。なかなかスリリングなドライブでケワロ湾へ到着。

到着からボートに乗り込む際もスムーズで5組でボートに乗りスタート。
2人のインストラクターは片言の日本語ながら的確な案内、さらに注意事項など書かれた物を読んだりすることで不安もありませんでした。

ライフジャケットを着用し1組ずつ飛ぶのですがインストラクターの方が写真のCDRの販売の案内をしてくれます。30ドルですが内容が分からないので高いのか安いのか？？
私達は防水ケースにスマホを入れてフライトしました。

私達の順番は最後、他の方達の様子を見ていてドライランディング希望しようと思っていましたが海ポチャしてもらいました。
と言っても軽くお尻位まで浸かる程度でなんだか嬉しい感じです。
天気は快晴、風も凪いでいたのでフライトも実に快適。8歳の息子も青い海の上と空をとーっても満喫しているよう。
余裕があるのかボートのみんなに手を降ってみたり終始笑顔で降りた瞬間またやりたいと(;^_^A

インストラクターの方に聞くと1組当たり700フィート走ってくれるとのことでしたが何だかあっという間でした。
帰りは他のグループをまったり少しロスがあったものの同学年の女の子と参加されたママとお話ししたりで気になることもありませんでした。

価格も他者に比べて安くツアーもしっかりされていたので満足で良い思い出ができました。

最後に1つだけ主催者へ。
ケワロ湾へ行く時のドライバーの運転の粗さが唯一で最大の減点でした。
ピックアップが遅れたせいか、参加者の名簿整理など運転しながら行い車線もオーバーしがち。
車内で死亡事故に関する免責など誓約書にサインさせられるのですがどこからどこまでの誓約書なのでしょうか?
運転手の明らかな過失などによる事故などたまりません。

お客様を乗せている以上運転に集中するなど安全運転の姿勢は守っていただきたいです。

We had a blast. Go for the 1000' 10 min. It was worth the extra money. Every min in the air is worth it. Also get the splash.

I participated on December 11. It was around 4 PM on the first day we arrived in Hawaii. My friend and I joined two groups, including a Taiwanese family.

We went first. We chose the 150m option, and it was truly amazing. I highly recommend the 150m!

There was a $30 option for photos, but we opted out. The daughter of the Taiwanese family suggested we take pictures of each other, so we were planning to do that, but it seems the boat staff took a few pictures of us after seeing that interaction! It might have been because there were only two groups. Honestly, after we finished, it felt a bit awkward to take pictures of others on the boat, so just a heads up on that.

It was really, really fantastic; the horizon looked beautiful, and 150m is quite high! As expected, we were dropped into the sea, getting about halfway submerged (saying things like "Yay!!"), and then we surfaced and landed back on the boat! The wire handling was really impressive!

We declined the ride back and walked along Waikiki Beach while enjoying the sunset.

12月11日に参加しました。ハワイについた初日の16時くらいだったかな・・？友人と二人で参加し、台湾人親子との2組でした。
私たちが先に飛びました。150mを選んでいたのですが、本当に最高でした。是非とも150mおすすめです。
30ドルで写真とありましたが、私たちは希望しませんでした。それに、台湾人親子の娘さんがお互いの写真を取り合いっこしましょうかぁ・・って言ってくれていたので、そのつもりでしたが、どうやらそのやりとりをみて船のスタッフさんが何枚かとってくれました！
2組で少なかったからかもしれません。正直、自分たちが終わってから、船で人の写真を撮るには気持ち悪くなるのでご注意を・・です。
ほんとに、ほんとに最高でしたよ、水平線がきれいに見れたし150m高いです！
予想してましたが、お決まりの海に腰半分浸かるくらい落とされ(イェーイ！！とか言って)再び浮上してから船に着地！本当に上手なワイヤーさばきでした！
帰りの車はお断りして、サンセットを眺めながら、ワイキキビーチを歩いて帰りました。

I challenged myself to the longest 150 meters. Half excited, half nervous... We were the second group out of three. We observed the previous group to learn what to expect. Finally, it was our turn! Since it was 9 AM, it wasn't hot yet, and the breeze was refreshing. Up we went into the air! I was a bit scared at first and couldn't move my legs, but the airtime was quite long, so I relaxed and enjoyed it after a while.

In the air, it was silent, and I felt no pulling sensation; it was as if time had stopped. It was an indescribable feeling. At the end, there was the customary splash landing in the sea. As others had shared, there was a moment to tip the boat crew, but since no one else did, I didn't either.

The shuttle bus was on time, and Yano-san came to pick us up. While we were parasailing, for some reason, he bought me a hair accessory and waited. The view of Waikiki from above was beyond my imagination. It can't be captured in photos. You have to experience it for yourself. It will be the best memory!

最長の１５０メートルにチャレンジしました。わくわく半分、どきどき半分・・・私たちは３組中２番目。前の組の様子を見てどんなものだか勉強。いざ、自分の番！朝９時だったのでまだ暑くなく風が爽やか、一気に空中へ！落ちやしないかちょっと怖くて最初脚を動かせなかったけど、結構滞空時間が長かったので、途中からはリラックスして満喫。
空中は無音で、引っ張られている感覚もなく時間が止まったよう。
何とも言えない感覚。
最後、恒例の着陸海ポチャもあり。
他の方の体験談とおり、ボートにチップを挟むところがあったが、だれも挟んでなかったので私もしなかった。
送迎バスは定刻。ヤノさんが来てくれました。
私たちがパラセイリングをしている間、どういうわけか、私にだけ、髪飾りを買って待っていてくれました。
空からのワイキキの眺めは想像以上でした。
写真では表せられない。
実際に飛んで見て下さい。最高の思い出になりますよ。

SUP was pretty easy to learn and definitely a lovely way to spend the morning. Nice small group

We spent two years researching our trip and when we saw this tour we were very intrigued. It was everything we had hoped for and more. The divers were friendly and accomodating we were never rushed. Fish and turtles are so close you can touch them great photo opportunities. Highly recommend

We had a great time snorkeling and seeing all the sealife. The crew was great too.

Actually, I have a fear of heights, but I decided to challenge myself!!! As a result, it was exhilarating and so much fun. The weather was great, and I could see all of Honolulu. I was able to overlook not just Waikiki but also the distant mountains. The view from the sky was amazing. The sea and sky were a beautiful blue that I had never seen before, and my fear of heights seemed to disappear.

At the end, I got to dip into the sea twice, and it was incredibly fun at just the right moment. Although I could choose the height, I wasn't given any confirmation on this, so I left it up to the staff. Since I didn't have a sense of height, I thought it would be difficult to choose, so it worked out well for me. I tend to get seasick, so I was a bit worried when we were docked and swaying, but I managed to get through it.

Not only the staff but also the other groups on board were friendly, and I had a great time. I didn't purchase any photos this time, but they can burn them onto a CD on the spot, so I definitely recommend that to those who will participate in the future. The transportation was smooth, and overall, it was a great experience. I want to challenge myself with activities I've never experienced before next time, and I would like to use this site again.

実は高所恐怖症なんですが…
思い切ってチャレンジ！！！
結果、爽快でめちゃめちゃ楽しかったです。
天気も良くて、ホノルルを一望できたようです。
ワイキキの街だけでなく、遠くの山々まで見渡せました。
空からの眺めは最高です。海も空も見たことのない、素敵なブルーで高所恐怖症なんてどこかへいってしまったようです。
最後に海に2度浸かるのですが、絶妙のタイミングでめちゃめちゃ楽しかったです。
高さを選べるようになっていましたが、この点については確認がなく、スタッフにお任せといった感じになっていました。
高さの感覚がなかったので、選ぶのも難しいなぁと思っていたので、わたしには良かったです。
船酔いしやすいので、停泊して揺れる時に少し心配でしたが、なんとかクリアできました。
スタッフだけでなく、同乗した他のグループの人たちも気さくで楽しい時間が過ごせました。
今回は写真を購入しなかったのですが、その場でCDに焼き付けてもらえるので、これから参加する方々には是非おススメしたいです。
送迎もスムーズで全体的に良かったです。
次回も今まで体験したことのない、アクティビティにチャレンジしたいと思いますが、
また、このサイトを利用したいと思いました。

We were blessed with good weather on the day.
As we headed to the meeting point, we found an open-air bus!
It was a very pleasant ride to the activity location.
However, while heading out to sea by boat, one family member got seasick... it was quite rocky.
If you're prone to motion sickness, don't forget to take some medication.
The paragliding itself was amazing, as we went up to a very high point with the best view!

当日はお天気にも恵まれました。
集合場所に向かうとオープンエアーのバス！
アクティビティの場所までとても気持ちよく向かいました。
が、沖合いに船で向かっていると家族の１人が船酔い...けっこう揺れます。
酔いやすい方は酔い止めの服用を忘れずに。
肝心のパラセイリングはとても高いところまで上って最高の眺めでした！

It is a great experience doing the Underwater scooter. The guides were excellent making sure we are comfortable right from the beginning. It was a 1 to 1 guided adventure. The guides captured excellent pictures and videos of us individually and as as a couple with the beautiful fishes!. The plus thing is they do have all the snorkeling gear available for free so once you are done or you decide when your turn is you can do snorkeling.

Staff was nice and divers made everything feel very safe. Very cool experience to have fish eating out of your hands.

Instructors knew their gig, we had a blast, even my gf who is afraid of heights thought it was not scary (at 500 feet).

My sister and I jumped 150 meters, but surprisingly, I got sick in the air. I took motion sickness medication before going, which helped with the car ride, but the boat's swaying was quite strong, and I quickly felt unwell. Although I felt sick, the activity itself was really fun. For those who want to try it, I recommend taking motion sickness medication and not eating beforehand.

姉と二人で１５０ｍ飛びましたが、なんと空中でもどしてしまいました。酔い止めは飲んで行ったのですが、車の揺れには効いても、ボートの揺れはかなり強く、すぐに気分が悪くなってしまいました。酔って気持ちが悪いということはありましたが、アクティビティ自体は、すごく楽しかったです。挑戦される方には、酔い止めを必ず飲むこと以外に、食事をしてこないことをおススメします。

We had a wonderful day with AC as our guide. He was very knowledgeable, pointing out local sites and giving history along the way. He bent over backwards to accommodate everyone on the tour, taking each group to their favorite locations, running back and forth moving us around from hot spot to hotspot as we each finished our excursions. He was very professional at all times. We would hIghly recommend him as a tour guide. We had a blast! He even went out of his way to go back and find a lost article for us- which fell out of the van at a previous stop.

The weather on the day was perfect, making it an ideal day for kayaking.

The pickup was on time, and after arriving, we were able to borrow bodyboards and snorkels to play at Kailua Beach until lunchtime. For lunch, you can choose from pizza, BBQ plates, or salad bowls, but I definitely recommend the pizza! The spinach and garlic pizza, in particular, is exquisite! The restaurant staff were cheerful, and we had a great time dining!

After lunch, we pulled the kayaks to the beach. I think it took about 15 minutes to reach Flat Island. Upon arriving at Flat Island, we received various explanations about the island's ecosystem and Hawaii's history from our guide, Yasuyo. They also took plenty of photos, and it was truly a fun time.

After kayaking back to Kailua Beach, we pulled the kayaks back to the shop. We pulled the kayaks ourselves both ways, but it didn't feel burdensome at all.

It was really fun!!!

当日は天候に恵まれ、絶好のカヤック日和でした。

迎えも時間通りで、到着してからお昼まではボディボードやシュノーケルを貸していただき、カイルアビーチで遊びました。
昼ご飯はピザ、BBQプレート、サラダボールから選べますが、、、ピザを断然お勧めします！
特にほうれん草とガーリックのピザが絶品です！レストランの店員さんも陽気で、楽しく食事することができました！

昼ご飯を食べた後、カヤックをビーチまで引っ張って行きます。
フラットアイランドまで15分程度だったと思います。
フラットアイランド到着後はガイドのヤスヨさんから島の生態系やハワイの歴史について等、様々な説明を受けることができました。
写真もたくさん撮ってくれ、本当に楽しい時間でした。

カヤックでカイルアビーチに戻った後は、再びカヤックを引っ張ってお店まで戻ります。
行きも帰りもカヤックを自分たちで引っ張って行きますが、特に負担には感じませんでした。

本当に楽しかったです！！！

It was fun because, whether by chance or not, there were more people from America and Australia than Japanese, and we had a lively and cheerful time while parasailing. Tips were necessary.

たまたまなのか、日本人よりもアメリカ、オーストラリアの方の比率が高く、パラセイル中も和気藹々として盛り上がったので楽しかったです。
チップが必要でした。

This was my second time in Hawaii, and I finally got to snorkel at Hanauma Bay! The beauty from my first visit left the biggest impression on me in Hawaii, and I had always wanted to dive there since then, so it was truly moving. I was taken care of by instructors Chieko and Dan☆ Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see any sea turtles, but it was a fun time that went by in a flash. I definitely want to visit again when I go to Hawaii ( ´﹀` ).

２回目のハワイで念願のハナウマベイシュノーケルでした！
初めて来た時の綺麗さがハワイで一番印象に残っていて、その時からずっと、いつか潜りたいと思っていたので本当に感動でした。
インストラクターのチエコさんとダンさんにはお世話になりました☆ウミガメにはあいにく会えませんでしたが、あっという間の楽しい一時でした。
ハワイに行く時はまた訪れたいと思います( ´﹀` )

I was late to the gathering, but everyone was kind and accommodating. Thank you very much. I made some really great memories. If I get the chance to go again, I would like to try the 150m next time.

集合に遅れてしまいましたが、みなさん親切に対応してくださいました。
本当にありがとうございました。
すごくイイ思い出ができました。
もしまた行けたら今度は150mに挑戦してみたいです。

A graduation trip with my best friend, just the two of us girls. I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first time surfing in Hawaii, so I signed up for a school. The staff was friendly, and surfing in Waikiki was a dream! It was simply the best! That's all I can say!

卒業旅行で親友と女子２人旅。ハワイは何度も来てますが、ハワイでサーフィンをするのは初めてなので、スクールでお願いしました。スタッフはフレンドリーだし、ワイキキでサーフィン！夢でした！とにかく最高！その一言です！

Great crew, nice boat, a great ride down Waikiki beach, beautiful views, smooth sail in and out. Pictures everywhere you turn, recommend this to anyone looking to take some really cool pictures. Relax and enjoy the ride.

It was a sunny day, but very windy. When kayaking, strong winds can make it take longer to reach your destination and require more effort to paddle, but the woman who guided us was very interesting and kind. The excitement when we arrived was incredible! I had the most fun experience in Hawaii. Also, the pizza was really delicious! I definitely want to come back someday. However, we had to wait about 30 minutes for the other tour participants, so we couldn't spend more than 20 minutes at Lanikai Beach, which was disappointing! If we had one more hour, I would have been even more satisfied.

晴れましたがとても風が強い日でした。カヤックは風が強いと、たどり着くまでが時間がかかり漕ぐ力も必要になりますが、教えてくれた女性がとっても面白くていい方でした。たどり着いたときの感動はひとしお！ハワイで一番面白い体験をできました。あと、ピザ本当においしかったです！いつかまた絶対来たいです。ただ、他のツアーの方を待つのに30分くらい待ったりする時間もあったので、ラニカイビーチには20分もいられず残念！あと一時間長ければより満足でした。

My first parasailing experience. I chose the lowest option available, but it was more than enough. I'm not sure if they adjust the height based on the person (^ ^).

It was incredibly thrilling, and the views were amazing. It finishes quickly in the morning, and the morning breeze felt great; the trolley ride was also fantastic. I paid $30 for photos, and they turned out beautifully, so I highly recommend it♡. The fact that you can't come back unless everyone participates was a bit annoying, though, haha. I want to do it again!!

初パラセーリング。選べるなかで一番低いものにしたけど、十分です。というか人に合わせて高さ変えてるのかよくわかりません(^ ^)

すごくすごくスリリングで素敵な景色が見れます。朝の時間ですぐ終わりますし、朝の風邪が気持ちよくてトロリーも最高でした。
30ドルで写真もお願いしたけど、素敵にとってもらえるのでオススメです♡
全員やらないと帰ってこれないのがちょっと嫌かも笑
またやりたいな！！

I wasn't sure if I would be able to see turtles, so it was amazing to see them. The fish were beautiful, and it was my first time snorkeling, but it was really great! 😊

カメが見れるかわからなかったので見れて最高でした。魚も綺麗で初めてのシュノーケリングでしたがとてもよかったです(^-^)

This was a perfect way to see a different part of Hawaii away from Waikiki. The pick-up from the hotel was on time with a really friendly driver. We arrived and easily took our own kayaks to the beach. Highly recommend going to Lanikai beach and snorkeling. We chose the pizza for lunch and it was great!

My son loves fish, and every time we go to Hawaii, he participates in snorkeling and submarine tours, but this time we joined a sea bob tour. I was a bit worried because I had my 75-year-old mother and 10-year-old son with me, but the underwater scenery in Hawaii was absolutely amazing. The sea bob had food attached to it, which attracted a lot of fish, and both of them were thrilled. It was my first experience too, and I was deeply moved by the clarity of the water and the cute fish! I definitely want to participate again!

However, we had to take a small boat to the diving point, and there was a waiting time of about 10 to 15 minutes while three people dove at a time. The boat was rocking quite a bit while anchored, so many people got seasick. I took motion sickness medication, so I was fine. I think even those who usually don’t get seasick should bring some along.

息子が大の魚好きで、毎回ハワイに行くとシュノーケルや潜水艦のツアーに参加していたんですが、今回はシーボブに参加しました。
７５歳の母と１０歳の息子がいたのでちょっと不安でしたが、ハワイの海中はとても素晴らしく、シーボブに餌が付いているので沢山のお魚たちが寄ってきてくれ、二人とも大はしゃぎでした。私も初体験でしたが海の透明感とかわいいお魚たちに触れて大感動！
また参加したいと思います！
ただ、潜るポイントまで小型の船で行き、三人ずつ１０～１５分潜っている間の待ち時間があり、停泊している船が結構揺れるので船酔い者続出でした。
私は酔い止めを飲んでいたので大丈夫でした。普段酔わない方も持って行った方が良いと思います。

I decided to book parasailing this time because it seemed like the most exciting ocean activity. I can do banana boat rides and jet skiing anytime, but flying in the sky is something you can't do every day. I had heard about my friend's experience doing it before, so I was determined to try it.

It was my first time booking a tour online, but it was manageable as long as you have a computer (laughs). There were quite a few details to fill out.

On the day of parasailing, the local driver arrived at the hotel right on time to pick us up. I handed over the voucher printed in Japan. Although Japanese wasn't understood, the driver was very cheerful and friendly. Even though he didn't speak English, I managed to understand the meaning of a few words and communicated through gestures, which was fun! I felt a bit regretful that I couldn't speak English (laughs).

We picked up other participants one after another and headed to the marina. Most of them were Japanese couples, including us. The driver wasn't a Japanese guide, but he kindly shared recommendations for delicious local restaurants while driving, which was helpful.

As for clothing, it's basically fine to stay in your swimsuit and just wear something over it. A water-resistant hoodie like mine is sufficient. Just make sure to put your towel, phone, camera, and money in a waterproof bag. I was trying to take pictures while flying (laughs).

When we arrived at the marina, there was a local staff member who could speak Japanese, which was a relief! They took pictures of us flying and saved them on an SD card, which they sell back to you for $30.

The boat captain and staff were manly Americans! They were very kind! R&B music was blasting from the speakers on the boat, which really pumped up the mood. I would love to go sea bass fishing on this boat (laughs). We departed from the marina and headed offshore.

We set up the equipment and were connected to a huge parachute. The moment the captain released the wire... we shot up into the sky (laughs)! It was incredibly high, and the view was amazing! I had no idea flying could feel this good. The staff on the boat were taking pictures with a DSLR camera (laughs). It was the best! This is perfect for anyone who dreams of flying!

However, when we took off, there was a sudden downpour, and we were caught in heavy rain while in the air! I quickly took a lot of pictures and videos with my waterproof phone!

I felt like a pilot escaping from a downed fighter jet (laughs). Eventually, the wire was reeled in, but some people were dropped into the sea. We also ended up splashing into the water!

It became an amazing memory.

I'm not quite sure, but it seems like you can choose the height you fly at, yet everyone was at 150 meters, right? On the boat, no one was checking who was flying at what height. I have a feeling that even if you book for 90 meters, you might end up flying at 150 meters. Can someone try it? If that's the case, it might be better to book at the cheaper rate.

Anyway, it was incredibly fun!

On the way back, we bought the SD card and were taken back to the hotel. Since we are Japanese, let's remember to follow etiquette and place towels on the seats for the ride home!

今回パラセーリングを申し込んだのは、海のアクティビティで一番エキサイティングに思えたからです。
バナナボートやジェットはいつでも出来ますから。空に舞い上がるなんてなかなか出来ないですよね。
友人が以前やってた体験談を聞いてたので、絶対にやろうと思いました。
初めてインターネットでツアーを申し込んだ訳ですが、まあまあ、パソコンがあれば気合いで申し込めますね(笑)登録内容は多いですが。

パラセーリング当日、時間ぴったりに現地のドライバーさんがホテルまで迎えに来てくれました。
日本で印刷したバウチャーを渡しました。
日本語は通じなかったんですが、かなり明るく気さくなドライバーさんで、英語わからなかったですが、一個の単語の意味を理解し、ジェスチャーでなんとかコミュニケーションとれて楽しかったです！逆に自分が英語わからないのが残念で悔しい(笑)
あと、自分達以外に申し込んだ方々を次々ピックアップ してマリーナへ。
ほとんど日本人カップルばっかりでしたね、自分達もですが。ドライバーさんは日本語ガイドではないですが、現地の料理の美味しいお店を教えてくれなら運転してくれて参考になりました。

服装は基本的に水着のまま、上からなんか着ればいいです。自分みたいに海用のパーカーあれば十分。あとはビニール袋に、タオルやケータイ、カメラ、お金等を防水仕様にしていれれば大丈夫です。自分飛んだまま撮影しようとしてたんで(笑)

いざマリーナに着くと日本語しゃべれる現地スタッフさんがいて助かりました！
飛んでる写真を撮影してＳＤカードに保存、30ドルで帰りに売ってくれるみたいです。

ボートの船長さんやスタッフさんも男らしいアメリカ人！とても優しいです！
ボートではスピーカーからR&Bが爆音で流れててテンションブチアゲです。このボートでシーバス釣りに行きたい(笑)
マリーナを出発！沖合いへ。
装備をガチャガチャセットして、二人で巨大なパラシュートに繋がれて。
船長さんがワイヤーをフリーにした瞬間…………
空にぶっ飛んで行った自分ら(笑)
めちゃめちゃ高いし、景色が最高！
空を飛ぶのがこんなに気持ちいいなんて知らなかったです。
ボートからはスタッフさんが一眼レフでパシャりしてるし(笑)
最高！空を飛ぶのに憧れがある人には最適です！
ただ、自分達がぶっ飛んで行った時は突然のスコールで、空中で激しい雨に見回れ騒ぎまくりました！すかさず、防水仕様にしたスマホから写真撮りまくり、ムービー撮影しました！

気分は撃墜された戦闘機から脱出したパイロットです(笑)
ようやくワイヤーを巻き取られますが、人によっては海に落とされます。
自分らも海にジャボンされました！

めちゃめちゃいい思い出になりました。

よくわからないのが、飛ぶ高さ選べるみたいですが、みんな150メーターなんじゃないですかね？
ボートの上ではいちいち誰が何メーター飛ぶなんて確認してないですよ？
もしや、90メーターで申し込んでも150メーター飛ばされるような気がする。
だれかやってみて？だったら安い料金で申し込んだ方がいいんじゃ？
まあ、なんにせよ、めちゃめちゃ楽しかったです！

帰りはSDカードを買い、ホテルへ送迎。
日本人ですから、マナーを守り、タオルを座席に引いて帰りましょうね！
