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

Good Value

Reviewed by: Mark J

It was very memorable. The guy who picked us up from our hotel was entertaining. He has a little pet love bird in his van. He let us hold it and take pics with it. Our guide on the boat was funny too. He took pics on my camera and his (for purchase). Very friendly staff.

Kipu Safari Adventure - Zipline, Hike, Kayak & Waterfall Swim with Lunch

Kipu Falls with Lauren and Nate

Reviewed by: C2O

My friends and I can't say enough good things about the staff at Outfitters Kauai. We had a blast with the staff during our kayaking, hiking, swimming, rope-swinging, truck riding. Everyone, from Rachel to Lauren to Nate were all very pleasant, humorous and overall good people. This excursion is absolutely recommended for anyone and everyone looking for an overall great time. This is absolutely the first thing that we will be looking forward to on our next visit to Kauai.

Honolulu X-Treme Parasailing Tour Adventure [700ft, 850ft, 1000ft or 1200ft Rides]

Awesome Experience

Reviewed by: Becky from Southern Calif

Parasailing with X-treme Parasailing was a wonderful activity. I thought it would be scary, but in actuality it was a very relaxing experience that I'll never forget. If you listen to the instructions the crew give you, your ride up and back down will be smooth and comfortable. Once in the air, you will experience a wonderful peace as you float high above the water.
I would highly recommend this activity to a wide range of people. We had a 3rd grader and a 62 year old on our boat, and each of them LOVED their parasailing experience. The crew was fun and put every one who was a little nervous at ease with their years of experience and humorous comments. Tipping was optional, and in no way did the crew make me feel like I HAD to tip. I was, however, happy to tip them for the great job they did!

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

A Good Time

Reviewed by: JJH

This was a great time. The staff was helpful and friendly in making sure you had a great time. Kayaking was a good and steady pace. Snorkeling was amazing! Being underwater with the fish and coral is a must see! Seeing dolphins playing close by is really neat too.
Cave was a bit disappointing, being only 30 feet deep, you coulnd't really go in them.
If you are up for the extreme, try the cliff jump, its definately a thrill and safe.
All in all, a good experience; great way to spend a morning in Hawaii.

Two-Tank Introductory Boat Scuba Diving Tour & Lesson - Aaron's Dive Shop

First Timer

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We've never done a scuba diving before so we were a bit afraid of it, but we ended up having a great time. The divers were very safety-oriented, friendly and patient. Actually, one of my friends had to be escorted to the surface because he was not aware that he was running out of air!

The sea was a bit rough that day, so I did my portion of throwing up. TAKE A MOTION SICKNESS MEDICINE if you are prone to seasickness. It's not fun.

Overall, excellent experience though. Thank you!

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Very Cool

Reviewed by: Joshua

Since I am not a scuba diver and the most snorkeling I have done was in my pool I would have to say this was a great experience. I took my three children ages 17,16, and 13. They had a wonderful time. The staff was nice. Having the fish each out of our hands was awesome. We even saw a huge turtle. Either before or after you go in the BOB you can snorkel around the boat. This was cool too. I wish I could have taken my underwater camera but they take great pictures with their camera for you. Of course there is charge to get a disc of the photos. The one down side is when we got home we were given the wrong photos. So be sure to ask them to double check before you leave. They are sending me the right one in the mail. Still overall this is a great experience for those who can't scuba dive yet.

Kealakekua Bay Guided Kayak & Captain Cook Snorkel Tour - Adventures In Paradise

highlight of our trip

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This tour was by far the highlight of our Kona vacation - guide Karen was knowledgeable and friendly and put us at ease even though my sister was a first time snorkeler. She also gave a fantastic history of the island and everything we saw on the way. The best part was seeing a school of dolphins as we were kayaking to the first snorkel sight! I look forward to doing this activity again on my next trip!

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

Awesome Time in North Shore

Reviewed by: Terry

This was our first trip to Hawaii, and we wanted to make sure that we don't miss North Shore, but didn't want to take a typical sightseeing tour on a huge bus with 50 other people. This tour turns out to be a great one with a lot of personal touch. We were able to enjoy a full day on Waimea Bay, just relaxing, snorkeling, swimming, etc. A perfect day on the north shore. We were also able to check out the Haleiwa Town to do some shopping. There are a lot of artists living there to sell their beautiful arts. Highly recommended!

We had a great time on the boat, with the crue (they made us feel so comfortable and were on top of the situation - it was our first experience parasailing) and especially in the air.
We were flying above the Pacific Ocean :) This is one of the best things you could experience in your life.

It was amazing!! 最高でした!!

Reviewed by: 旅好きなっちゃん

I tried parasailing for the first time, and it was amazing, like flying in the sky! My sister and I participated together, and it felt like we were in our own world; the scenery was fantastic and wonderful. There was a service where you could take 24 photos for $15, and it seems like they capture pictures during the parasailing. I took motion sickness medicine beforehand, but I got seasick while waiting for others to finish parasailing, so the medicine is a must! I would love to try it again!

初めてパラセイルに挑戦しましたが、空を飛んでいるようで感動でした!!
妹と二人で参加しましたが、二人だけの世界のようで景色も最高で素晴らしかったです。
写真も24枚撮り$15でフィルムをくれるサービスがあり、パラセイル中の写真が収められているようです。
酔い止めを飲んで行きましたが、他の人のパラセイルを船で待っている間酔ってしまったので、酔い止めは必須です!!
またチャレンジしたいと思います☆★

Surprising! びっくり!

Reviewed by: かぉちん

I requested a pick-up, and I was surprised when I got into the car! Everyone except us was a foreigner. English was flying around in the car, and it seemed like everyone was having a great time. I, who am completely hopeless with English, was just staring blankly the whole time... But once it started, everyone got really excited, and it was a lot of fun. It was a very valuable experience. I wonder if only Japanese people pay tips?? I wasn't really sure about that...

送迎を御願いしたので、車に乗ってみてビックリ!!
私達以外、全員外国の方。
車内では英語が飛び交い、楽しそうです。
英語が全くダメな私は終始ポカーン…
でも、いざ始まると皆さんかなり盛り上がって楽しかったです。
とても貴重な体験でした。
チップは日本人だけが払うんですかね??
なんだか良くわかりませんでした。。。

Just there to make a quick buck!!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We paid for the Deluxe package which is $20 more than the Standard package in order to go up to a higher height, and for 5 minutes more of flying (than the standard's 8 min). Well when we went out no matter what package you purchased, you only got 5 minutes in the air. TOTAL RIP OFF!! AND to top it off, by the end of the trip the 2 workers ASKED FOR $20 tips from everyone!! The actual flying was fun, but they should give you what you pay for.

Honolulu X-Treme Parasailing Tour Adventure [700ft, 850ft, 1000ft or 1200ft Rides]

Uncomfortable

Reviewed by: Tiffany

This was the first activity we had planned on Oahu. The actual Parasailing time was wonderful!!! The time spent on the boat with the workers was horrible. To start they wanted us to pay them $15 to take pictures of us (even though the other people in our group were going to do it). When we declined their offer the crew made rude comments almost constantly during the boat ride. (Is he always this cheap? Must be they are saving their money for a sunny day!!! Not good Aloha.) The boat has writing all over it that, "Good karma starts with good tips" and "Tipping is WELCOME." There are $20bills taped all up the handrail as a "suggestion" on how much to tip. Don't forget the 3 times that the crew mentioned that we should not forget to tip them for their hard work! The time spent on the boat was very uncomfortable but parasailing was awesome. In the end I did tip them (only because I felt so uncomfortable) and I am still regretting it.

ハンズ・ヒーデマン サーフィンレッスン

It was fun. 楽しかった

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I tried surfing for the first time in my life, and it was really fun!! Before entering the ocean, there was a lesson on paddling at the shop, and then we moved to the sea. It was time for the real thing. The instructor was quite strict, but everyone was able to ride the waves, and we had a great time!!! It was a morning course, but after it ended, I went shopping and made the most of my day. I highly recommend it. However, the next day my arms were sore from the muscle strain, and I cut the soles of my feet on coral, which was tough.

生まれて初めてサーフィンやりましたが、かなり楽しかったです!!
海に入る前にお店でパドリングなどの講習があり、その後

Reviewed by: Asher

This was a great experience for all. The natural beauty was stunning, and the staff was just as great. I wish the water was calm enough to go into sea caves, but the kayak tour did not suffer because of it. Sense of adventure and willingness to put in physical effort is required, but well worth it. Our group did end up with cuts and bruises.
