First parasailing experience. 初めてのパラセイル

Reviewed by: わんわん

I tried parasailing for the first time with my friend. We went further offshore than I expected, and from there, we floated up into the sky two at a time! It was so much fun.

お友達とはじめてのパラセイルに挑戦しました。
思ったより結構沖合いまで行ってそこから2人ずつフワッと空へ!とっても楽しかったです。

Had a great time, only wished it lasted longer, guess I used up all the alloted air in my excitement! Up close and personal with the fish, coral, and water. Makes me want to become scuba certified as soon as possible.

Turtle Reef Kayak and Snorkel

Reviewed by: Mike and Lindsay

We had a great time Kayaking to the turtle reef and swimming with the awesome sea turtles. Our guide, Griff, did an excellent job with instructing us on proper Kayaking and snorkeling technique. He was very knowlegeable about marine biology and gave us a unique lesson on Hawaiian history and culture. A well rounded, fun trip!

This is a MUST do for EVERYONE! We loved it so much we took TWO snuba trips! Sitting on the ocean floor in Turtle Town with two HUGE turtles was fantastic! We had been on several boats during our visit and the crew on this trip was the BEST! We can't wait to see the photos! Mahala and a hui hou!

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Best time in Hawaii!!!

Reviewed by: Aaron; Rockford, IL

I was in Hawaii for a week and did a number of activities including shark cage swim, swimming with dolphins, Polynesian magic show, manta ray dive, 2-tank scuba dive, and the Polynesian cultural center, and this was my favorite of all of them. Even better...it was the least expensive!!! The snorkeling left something to be desired, but the kayaking itself and the cliff jump more than made up for that! I HIGHLY recommend this activity! Thanks Johnny, Kevin, and Jasmine!

Kauai Surf School - Surfing Lessons at Poipu Beach

Surfs'up!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We had a great time. It was actually 2nd time trying to learn surfing. We tried from my friend, but we decided to take a lesson from pros. The instructor guy was very helpful, and taught us how to read the wave and the current, some safety tips you should know, etc. After all, surfing can be dangerous, so we're glad that we took a lesson. Thanks.

Me and a couple of my friends took their lesson. Their instructor was very helpful and patient for us, 1st timers. We took some beach lesson before going into the water, and where they took us had perfect small & consistent waves, We each caught two or three waves! We are now hooked. We are coming back to Maui next year for sure. Thanks!

I caught one!!! Hahaha! Me and my son did the Tandem so that he could go out with the instructor. He got over the nerves and wanted to do it over and over again. But we had a great time and ended up renting surfboards in Waikiki to test out our new skills pretty much everyday. I wish we had an ocean in Texas!

I participated in the standard category. スタンダードで参加しました。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

In the morning, I participated in a morning cruise on the Makani and then went parasailing. Since the location was close, I joined without transportation. I wondered if I would be scared before it started, but once I was lifted up, I felt no fear at all. I participated with my 9-year-old daughter, and she also said she wasn't scared and enjoyed it. Later, she mentioned that she wanted to do it again. The view from above is amazing, and with only the sound of the wind, it feels incredible. There were two boats, but it seemed they only had the standard one. The boat sped quite a bit on the way to the location, so it was a bit bumpy, but after that, we just floated with the wind, so I didn't get seasick. I would love to participate again.

AMにMakani号のモーニングクルーズで、その後、パラセイリングに参加しました。
場所が近いので、送迎なしで参加しました。
始まる前は怖いかな?とも思いましたが、いざ、浮き上がってからは全く怖さはありませんでした。9歳の娘との参加でしたが、娘も怖くはないとの事で、楽しんでいました。後で、聞いたらまた参加したいとの事。
上からの景色は最高ですし、風の音しか聞こえない中、最高の気分になります。
2艇ありましたが、どうもスタンダードだけの船だったようです。場所に向かうまでの船はかなり飛ばしますので揺れますが、後は、風だけで浮きあがりますので、船酔いはしなかったです。また、参加したいと思います。

I flew in the sky! 空を飛びました!

Reviewed by: ピンクスマイル

I had always wanted to try parasailing. The night before flying, I was excited but also so nervous that I couldn't sleep at all... However! When I actually took off, it felt amazing, and I felt like I was a bird. I kept saying "Wow!" at the beautiful scenery of Hawaii, and before I knew it, I had forgotten my fear.

I was also worried about getting seasick, but since I had read this experience beforehand, I took motion sickness medication before participating, and I didn't feel sick at all (maybe because I was nervous?!). I was able to enjoy my time on the boat with everyone. For those concerned about seasickness, I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication.

The foreigners on the boat don't understand much Japanese, but there's no need to worry at all. Just be aware that the tip was more than I expected, so I recommend bringing a little extra money.

The restroom is located to the left as you head towards the port. However, there is no door, so I think it's a good idea to have your partner keep watch at the entrance.

For those who are hesitant, please try it and experience this wonderful feeling. I want to do it again!

以前からやってみたかったパラセイリング。
飛ぶ前日の夜は楽しみな反面、緊張と興奮のあまり全然眠れませんでした・・・。
しかし!いざ実際に飛んでみると、とても気持ちが良くて
鳥になったような気分でした。
ハワイのきれいな景色にただ「すごい!」の連発でいつのまにか恐怖心は忘れていました。

あと、船酔いを心配していましたが、参加前にこの体験談を読んでいたので、酔い止めを服用して参加したら全然酔わず(緊張していたからかも?!)船上でも皆さんと楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。船酔いが心配な方は、やはり酔い止めの服用をお勧めします。

船上の外人さん達は日本語はあまり通じませんが、まったく心配無用です。ただチップは思った以上だったので少し余分にお金は持参されることをお勧めします。

トイレは港に向かって左にあります。ただしトイレにはドアーがないので入り口でパートナーに見張っていてもらうと良いと思います。

躊躇している方も是非トライしてこの気持ちよさを味わってください。私はまたやりたいです!

Kailua Bay 2-Hour Guided Kayaking Tour with Lunch - Explore Tide Pools & More!

Family Fun kayaking to Flat Island

Reviewed by: Steve G

Our family of 6 had a great time on the 2 hour kayak tour to Flat Island! Our guide Cyrus was very knowledgeable about the island and the near-by beaches. He also shared a few Hawaiian stories explaining the history of Flat Island and some of the flowers growing there. All in all, I'd recommend the activity to anyone interested in kayaking the crystal clear waters of the eastern Oahu shore. And if you're a more experienced kayaker, or in better shape than us, try the 4-hr tour!

Reviewed by: may061

I was a bit worried about the roller coaster since it seemed a little scary, but it was completely fine. I can't speak English, but there are Japanese instructions on the boat, and they give directions in Japanese when putting on equipment and during landing, which is reassuring. However, the pickup and check-in at the port are all in English, so I had to watch what others were doing... During the final splash into the sea, even strangers can really get excited together. The wind is strong up there, which is a bit scary, but the view is amazing, so I definitely want to do this again in Hawaii next time.

ジェットコースターも少し恐くなってきていたので大丈夫かと心配でしたが,全く大丈夫でした。
英語はしゃべれないけれど,船には日本語の説明書もあるし
装備を着けるときや着地の時は日本語で指示してくれるので安心です。ただしピックアップや港でのチェックインは全て英語なので周りをみながらの行動になりましたが・・・
最期の海ポチャの時には知らない同志でも結構もりあがれます。上空は風が強いのでそれは少し恐いのですが眺めは最高なので次のハワイでも是非やりたいです。

I first learned about parasailing from the television, and I really wanted to try it! I felt no fear at all and soared high into the sky; it was incredibly refreshing! The view of the ocean from above is completely different!! The staff were cheerful and could speak some Japanese, so I felt at ease during the experience.

Parasailing in Waikiki with Hawaiian Parasail - Diamond Head Views with Triple & Tandem Flights

We had a blast!!!

Reviewed by: The Sharp Family

This parasailing experience is awesome. The kids had a great time (it helped that I offered $20 for a "really good ride.) A crew member even offered to take pictures with my camera for me rather than charge for using theirs (and he took some really unique ones.) The crew was friendly. The shuttle service was on time (though we could have done without the pet bird in the cruise.) I highly recommend this company.

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Honeymoon/Vacaiton Highlight

Reviewed by: Joey Jamir

A group of eight of us, my wife and I, our 9 year old daughters, my sister and her husband, and my brother and his wife, went kayaking for the first time with Ocean Safari Kayaks, and we all agreed that is was one of the best activities of our whole trip. The staff, Mikey and Debbie, was very friendly, informative, and supportive and the locations we visited were awesome. Although not as leisurely as going on a snorkeling trip with a power boat or raft company, I'd say this trip gives you more of a sense of adventure. We were able to check out the Dragon's Throat Sea Cave, which was a bit intimidating, but with their guidance, were able to successfully enter. Then, came the snorkeling which was awesome, and most importantly the cliff dive. That is one experience I may never stop talking about. My brother, brother in law, and I all took the plunge, not to mention being upstaged by Mikey doing a spectacular backflip off the cliff. Anyway, I could go on and on about this, but its d

This was a really fun experience! Jonathan was our tour guide and since we were the only ones booked that afternoon, it was a really private tour. We snorkeled at Hideaways Beach, which was breathless. The kayaking back was a little tough because we were tired from the snorkeling but we finally made it. I would definitely do it again!

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

The beach part was great not "hike"

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The description of the Falls "hike" should be reworded to "casual stroll". All the interesting parts that might be qualified as hikes were barred as off limits for falling rock or just closed off. Also, the change in elevation was laughable. It was more like going to a park.

The waterfall actually had water, but not enough water yet for swimming, which was teh main point of it. That part was very underwhelming.

The snorkeling on teh beach was great. Amazing area and great knowledgeable staff/tour guides. highly recommend that part.

My boyfriend and I went parasailing to celebrate our anniversary, and it was awesome! The crew was polite, interactive, and entertaining, but at the same time safe and professional.
