Hawaii
I usually don't do reviews because there wasn't enough "wow" or it's special, but not worth my time to "write" about it: This activity is exceptionally the case for shouting about. Think about how in the world could you go underwater, be AMONG fish, not learn the intricacies of diving, not wear heavy equipment on your back (even if weight is not an issue underwater), or hold your breath for an extended period of time, and still be able to wear your personal prescription glasses. This is a great activity to partake in especially for those curious about underwater activities.
When you get underwater on these vehicles, a personal diver will be assigned to you to make certain that you're doing OK and to mitigate any problems that may arise---even if you decide to cancel the activity. The hosts were all professional and serious about instructing the group on what to expect while in the water, and I felt comfortable and appreciatead their attention to safety. We rode out to the edge of this bay in the south eastern part of Oahu and proceeded with the adventure in the BOBs plus snorkeling around the boat that brought us out there. One of the divers had a camera to take pictures while we were underwater so there will be pictorial memories to look back at and thoughts about what to do in the future to optimize my excursions beneath the ocean. This activity is great!I was underwater for the very first time in my life, and I'm back to write about how great a time I had! If diving is not for you, try this for your shorter "bucket" list!
This was really fun! I thought the 800ft line for 8 minutes would be too short but it ended up being just fine! I would definitely do this again
WHAT A GREAT TOUR AND SO MANY WONDERFUL THINGS TO SEE! COULD HAVE DONE IT ALL DAY!
I joined this activity because the reviews were great. To put it simply, it was incredibly fun!!!
On the day of the event, the van arrived on time to pick us up and took us to the harbor. We boarded the boat smoothly without any waiting. My husband and I took motion sickness pills beforehand, so we enjoyed the cruise out to sea without feeling sick. I couldn't catch most of the English explanations (laughs), but it was totally fine! They take care of everything.
Many reviews mentioned that they weren't scared and wanted to try something higher next time, so I boldly decided to challenge the 150m! I took their advice and said things like "many many photos, please!" and "At finish, under knee please!" (laughs). I wanted to take photos from above, so I brought a waterproof camera and, on a whim, a non-waterproof DSLR. ← Reckless.
Finally, it was time for takeoff. We were lifted from the back of the boat and went up a little at first. As we drifted away from the boat, the loud sounds of the engine and waves suddenly disappeared, and my husband and I were surprised by how quiet it became. As others have mentioned, it truly felt like a space just for the two of us. It was so quiet up there that we could chat normally.
We didn't go up all at once; it was a gradual ascent. Honestly, I wasn't sure if we were really at 150m. If the ground were directly below us, things would look small and I might feel scared, but since it was just endless ocean, there was no sense of distance, and even if we fell, it would be into water (though there would be impact), so I thought it wasn't scary at all.
When we went, there was little to no wind, so it was stable and we weren't tossed around at all. After enjoying about 10 minutes of our aerial stroll, we slowly descended as the wire was reeled in, and as I requested, we landed with just our feet touching the water. Since my DSLR wasn't waterproof, I raised the camera above my head to protect it at that moment. (It was fine, but I can't guarantee it, so please don't imitate me! I did it with the understanding of my own responsibility.)
They picked us up at 9:40, so we had plenty of time for breakfast, and we arrived at the hotel before noon, which gave us enough time to enjoy the afternoon. It was very compact and I highly recommend it!
I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time doing such an activity. I'm really glad I participated. Next, I want to challenge the 180m. "150m is about one-third of Tokyo Tower..." you don't need to worry about silly things like that! (laughs) I highly recommend it☆☆☆
こちらのレビューの評価がよかったので参加しました。
結論から言うと、めっちゃめちゃ楽しかったです！！！
当日は時間通りに迎えのバンが来てくれて、ハーバーへ。待たされることもなくスムーズにボートへ乗船。
私も主人も酔い止めを飲んで行ったので、気分が悪くなる事なく沖までのクルージングを楽しめました。
説明は全て英語でほとんど聞き取れなかったですが(笑)、全然大丈夫です！全部やってくれます。
ここのレビューで「怖くなかったから次はもっと高いのにチャレンジしたい」というご感想が多かったので、思いきって150mにチャレンジ！
レビューを活かして「many many photos,please！」とか、「At finish,under knee(最後に水につかるのはヒザの下で) please！」と言ってみたりしました(笑)
上空からの写真を撮りたくて、防水カメラと、一か八かで防水でない一眼レフを持って行きました。
←無謀。
いよいよテイクオフ。
船の後方から上げられ、まずは少しだけ上がります。
ふっと船から離れると、さっきまで聞こえていたエンジンや波の大きな音がすぅっとなくなり
一気に静かな空間になったのには主人と２人で驚きました。
他の方も書かれていますがまさに２人だけの空間。上空はとっても静かなので普通におしゃべりができました。
一気には上がらず少しずつ少しずつ。
正直150mもあるかな？という高さの感覚でした。もし真下が地面だったら物が小さく見えて高さを実感し怖いかもしれませんが、ひたすら海なので遠近感がないのと、万一落ちたとしても水だし（衝撃はありますが）という感じで怖くないのかなと思いました。
私たちが行った時は風がないか弱いぐらいだったので、安定していて振り回されるようなことは全くありませんでした。
10分ほど？空中散歩を楽しんで、ゆっくりとワイヤーが巻き取られて、伝えた通り足だけ着水。
一眼レフが防水でないため、その瞬間頭の上にカメラを上げて守りました。（大丈夫でしたが保証できませんので真似しないで下さいね！当方自己責任の覚悟があってやっております）
9:40に迎えにきてくれたので朝ごはんもゆっくり取れましたし、12時前にはホテルに着いたのでお昼からも十分に時間を使え、とってもコンパクトでおすすめです！
ハワイは何度か来ていますがこのようなアクティビティは初めてでした。
思いきって参加して本当によかったです。次は180mに挑戦したいと思います。
「150mだと東京タワーの３分の１かぁ…」とか変な心配はいらないですよ！(笑)
とってもおすすめです☆☆☆

First time - Loved it, it was awesome! Would go again. Wonderful experience. Great crew, the pictures they took were fantastic! Would recommend!
The weather was really nice, and the view of Diamond Head and the town of Waikiki from the boat was beautiful and impressive. Check-in started about 15 minutes before, and before boarding, they took group photos in front of the boat, which were sold for $13 or $15 after we got off. The photos were really good, so I purchased one. I participated in the tour at 1 PM, and the captain mentioned that the morning tour saw sea turtles, but we didn't see any turtles; however, we were able to see dolphins. When we spotted the dolphins, the captain chased after them, and it was a lot of fun. There were foreign girls lying on the net at the front, and everyone seemed relaxed. There were two staff members at check-in and two crew members on the boat, but all the explanations were in English. I heard there is a restroom on the boat.
天気がすごくいい日で船からのダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキの町並みはとても綺麗で感動しました。チェックインは１５分前くらいからで、船に乗る前にグループごとに船の前で写真をとってくれて船を降りたあと１３か１５ドルで販売していました。すごくいい写真だったので購入しました。午後１時からのツアーに参加したのですが、朝のツアーでは海がめが見れたとキャプテンが言っていましたが、海がめは見れなかったけど、イルカをみることができました。イルカを見つけるとキャプテンが追いかけてくれてすごく楽しめました。先端のネットの上に寝転がっている外人の女の子たちがいたり、みんなリラックスした感じでした。チェックインのスタッフ二人と船上はクルー二人でしたが説明などすべて英語でした。船にトイレはあるそうです。

I participated in the 1:00 PM tour. It was cloudy on the day, and the color of the sea wasn't great, but once we boarded the boat, it turned into a beautiful sunny day, and the colors of the sea, sky, and scenery were amazing! Among the Asian participants, there was one other Japanese group, one Korean group, and two Chinese groups; the rest were mostly Westerners, and the boat was nearly full. The explanations were all in English, but you can definitely enjoy it! There's no need to worry at all.
The sailing lasted about 90 minutes, and I was moved to see how the color of the sea changed as we went further out. Holding a Mai Tai cocktail, the lively music and the slow pace that you don't usually experience were very pleasant. By the way, the cocktails are $5 each. I would love to join again the next time I go to Hawaii! It’s not an exaggeration to say it was my best memory.
13:00からの回に参加しました。
当日は曇りで海の色もいまいちだったのですが、いざ船に乗り込むと快晴になり
海の色も空の色も景色も最高でした～！
アジア系では日本人は私たち以外に1組と韓国人が1組、中国人が2組、それ以外は
欧米人が殆どでほぼ満席でした。
説明はすべて英語ですが、ズバリ楽しめます！何の心配も要りません。
たっぷり90分ほどのｾｲﾘﾝｸﾞで、海の色が沖に行くにつれて変わっていくのが明確にわかり感動しました。ｶｸﾃﾙ(ﾏｲﾀｲ)を片手に軽快な音楽と普段味わえないゆっくりとした時間が心地良かったです。ちなみにｶｸﾃﾙは1杯5ﾄﾞﾙです。
今度ﾊﾜｲへ行った際もまた参加したい！1番の思い出と言っても過言ではありません。

Beautiful, magnificent, spectacular, and extraordinary. Just a few words that come to mind when talking about my experience with this activity. I knew that while I was on Maui, that I wanted to go scuba diving. Unfortunately, you have to be certified to go scuba diving. So, I did the next best thing. I went on a snorkel/snuba diving adventure. Not only was the experience breathe taking, but the instructors, captain, film crew, and the rest of the staff was so courteous and knowledgeable. Any questions, comments, or concerns you have they are more than willing to go above and beyond your expectations to make you feel comfortable. Well worth every penny I spent on this activity. Anyone who is thinking about going snorkeling, should check out this company. They have amazing customer service which is hard to find. The snuba adventure is unlike anything I've ever tried. You get the opportunity to swim up close and personal with all kinds of sea life. Highly recommend spending the extra money to go snuba diving.
We went to the venue as a family of four. There were three participants, and I attended as the photographer and videographer. First, the kind staff took the visitors to the practice area by shuttle. Thank you very much. The participating family said they had a great time. However, the practice area was in a shallow coral location, and once they got too caught up in the activity, everyone ended up needing the assistance of the ambulance. If you are a beginner, please remember to always carry a "first aid van." They mentioned they would like to participate again. That's all.
家族４名で会場へ出向きました。参加者は３名で、私は写真・ビデオ係で伺いました。まず親切な方たち(スタッフ)で見学者も海岸の練習場所まで送迎車に乗せていただきました。ありがとうございました。参加した家族は楽しかったと言っておりました。ただ、練習場所が浅瀬のサンゴのある場所で夢中になって陸に揚がったら全員が救急バンのお世話になりました、初心者受講の場合は必ず「救急バン」を忘れずに携帯してくださいね。また参加したいと言っておりました。以上

The Kayaking was a good workout!! The hike was so beautiful and felt like we were truly seeing the inner island jungle. The waterfall was beautiful and we had an over all great time!!!
We had such an awesome time under the water and we could wear our glasses so we could really see the fish clearly!
Such an AMAZING experience. Both my sister and I can't swim so we were weary at the start but we told the guys on deck so they could keep an eye on us - fortunately we didn't tip the jet ski over! Definitely will try again.
Mahalo for the feedback - join us again and this time try parasailing!
It was scheduled for the arrival day, but unfortunately, it was canceled due to rain and strong winds. Perhaps because there was no contact person available on-site, we received a message more than two hours after the meeting time. (Before that, I had confirmed with the Japanese staff at the hotel to postpone it, so it was fine.) After that, we kept postponing while watching the weather throughout our stay, and finally, we were able to go ahead on the last day♪
On the day, there were six groups with 12 people, and everyone except us was foreign. They provided various explanations while we were moving by boat, but I was anxious because I couldn't understand English. However, they later gave us a simple explanation in Japanese, so it was okay. Also, perhaps out of consideration, they talked to us a lot, and when they asked, "Honeymoon?" and I replied "Yes," they clearly extended our time in the air longer than for the other people. My husband, who was a bit nervous at first, was very impressed by the view from above.
I thought $30 for the photos was a bit expensive, but I decided to order them. They took pictures with the plane and captured us both smiling and enjoying ourselves, so I think it was worth it. I was extremely satisfied. It was worth waiting until the end without canceling♪
到着日に予定していたけど、生憎の雨と強風で中止。現地で連絡の取れる連絡先がなかったためか、集合時間から2時間以上過ぎて連絡が…。(その前にホテルの日本人スタッフに確認して頂き延期してもらってたので大丈夫でした)
それから、滞在期間中ずっと天候を見ながら延期し続けて最終日にやっと決行出来ました♪
当日は、6組12名で私達以外は皆外人さん。ボートで移動中に色んな説明をしているけど、英語が分からず不安でしたが後で日本語で簡単に説明してくれるので大丈夫でした。また、気遣ってもらってか色々話し掛けてくれて、「ハネムーン？」と聞かれ「はい」と答えると他の人達より明らかに飛んでる時間を長くサービスしてくれました。初めはビビり気味だった主人も、上空からの景色にとても感動していました。
写真も30ドルで少々高いかと思ったけど頼みました。飛行機と撮ってくれてたり二人共笑顔で楽しんでる所を残せたので良かったかなぁと思います。
大大大満足でした。キャンセルせず最後まで待ったかいがありました♪

On April 20th, my whole family took on the challenge. The wind was strong that day, and once we headed out to sea, the boat rocked quite a bit, so I thought for sure someone would get seasick. Fortunately, everyone returned in good spirits. Therefore, I recommend that even those who are somewhat resistant to motion sickness take some anti-nausea medication. However, parasailing offshore was absolutely amazing!
4/20に家族全員でチャレンジしました。
当日は風が強く、沖合に出るとボートがかなり揺れたので、必ず誰かが船酔いすると思いましたが、幸い皆元気に戻って来ることが出来ました。
だから、乗り物酔いに少々強い人でも、酔い止めを飲んでおくことをお薦めします。
でも、沖合いでのパラセーリングは最高に気持ち良かったですよ！

So much fun me and my wife did this on our honeymoon and it was a blast doing 600 ft cord
This was a fun activity. The guys who took us out were great. My husband enjoyed this more than I. He gives this 5 stars.
This tour was one that I had the most apprehension. The crew gave use great instruction and made the experience one that we will never forget. I highly recommend to all who visit Honolulu. The takeoff and landing was very smooth and the boat ride was awesome!
I participated with my mother! On this day, the wind was strong, and the weather was rainy and cloudy before sailing.
The wind felt really nice, and the rocking was enjoyable! However, we got soaked in the first half, and when the sun was hidden by clouds in the second half, it was a bit chilly!
I think sailing is the most accessible and fun activity to enjoy in the waters of Hawaii.
母と二人で参加しました！！
この日は風が強くセーリングの前までは雨が降ったり止んだりのお天気でした。
とても風が気持ち良く、揺れも楽しかったです！
しかし、前半びちょびちょになってしまい、後半太陽雲に隠れたときは肌寒かったです！
ハワイの海でのアクティビティ、一番気軽に参加でき、楽しいセーリングだと思います。

The pickup was smooth, and even though not much Japanese was spoken, the guide's response was good.
However, I felt a strong sense of being out of place since everyone around was a foreigner.
I think I would have enjoyed it more if there had been Japanese customers with us.
It seems we were at the highest altitude, but I couldn't really tell while flying (laughs).
I experienced a bit of seasickness, but the view from above was truly spectacular!
We took a lot of photos, and it became a great memory.
ピックアップもスムーズで、日本語はあまり通じないものも、ガイドさんの対応もよかったです。
しかし、周りが外国人ばかりでアウェー感がハンパなかったです。
日本人のお客さんと一緒だったらもっと楽しめたと思います。
私たちが一番高い距離だったみたいですが、飛んでる方はよく分からなかったです(笑)
多少の船酔いはありましたが、やはり上から見る景色は絶景でしたー！
写真もいっぱい撮っていただき、いい思い出になりました。

I've been to Hawaii several times, and I've always wondered about that yacht, but I was finally able to ride it for the first time!
It lasts about an hour and a half, and it's very satisfying. When we go over the waves, the kids get excited by the splashes. It's also a bit moving to be able to look at the cityscape of Honolulu from the sea. If you're lucky, you might see turtles or whales.
When I participated, most of the people were foreigners, but it was fun.
ハワイには何回か来ていて、
いつもあのヨットはなんだと思っていましたが
初めて乗ることが出来ました！
時間的に１時間半くらいですが満足できます。
波を超えるときに波しぶきなど子供ははしゃぎます。
また海からホノルルの街並みを眺めることが出来るので
ちょっと感動します。
運が良ければ亀やクジラを見ることが出来ます。
参加した時は大半が外国の方でしたが面白かったです。

First time parasailing, we did 600 feet and it was a blast! It was nice having music to listen/sing along to while the others were parasailing. Definitely recommend buying the card with the pictures on it. It was cool that Kevin (who was driving the boat that day) had family in Manitowoc, Wisconsin!
It was a refreshing and pleasant experience beyond what I had expected!
It was exhilarating to view Diamond Head and the town of Waikiki from the sky!
Seeing Hawaiian Airlines flying above was also enjoyable, as it felt so close!
My mother, who was initially scared, was completely satisfied and wanted to fly again at 150 meters!
Since taking photos from the boat can result in backlighting, I recommend capturing video instead!
思っていた以上に清々しく気持ちがイイ体験でした！
ダイアモンドヘッドとワイキキの町を空から眺めて爽快でした！
上をハワイアン航空が飛んで行く様も、ジェット近い！と楽しめました。
怖がっていた母も、もう一度飛びたかった！と大満足の150mでした！
写真はボートから撮ると逆光になるので、ビデオがお勧めです！

We did several tours and the North Shore was our favorite. The North Shore was gorgeous. There were a bunch of awesome little shops and art galleries. We rode bikes and went snorkeling. It was awesome!
This was an amazing Thing. The 2 guys operating the boat were great. They took a lot of pics and got probably the $$ shot of the year withplane in the Background. If they ask if you wanna get wet...DO IT. They dipped us in the water 3 times and drug us a Little bit which was AWESOME!!! When I come back I will do it at least twice.
What a fantastic time my daughter and I had snuba diving, all three guys were just great and so informative, this was the best part of our trip.
I was nervous at first but the staff made it easy to get into the BOB. The divers were excellent and guided me at first and then sent me on my way. I've done other excursions and saw more fish and turtles on this trip. The pictures turned out very professional. I have told my daughter and her fiancé to definitely do this next month on their visit.
I participated in the 3:00 PM session. The other participants were all foreigners. The staff couldn't speak Japanese, but they showed us a paper with explanations in Japanese, which was reassuring. They also took photos during the parasailing, and you can buy a CD-R with those photos for $30! Speaking of dry riding, you can choose a ride that doesn't involve splashing into the sea, so since we were cold and our bodies were freezing, we opted for dry riding. The staff was very energetic and it was a lot of fun! The ride time was long, and we really enjoyed it!
15:00〜の回に参加しました。
参加者が私達以外外人さんでした。
スタッフの方は日本語NGでしたが、ちゃんと日本語の説明書いてある紙を見せてくれるので安心です。
パラセイル中の写真もとってもらえて、30ドルでその写真が入ったCD-R買うこともできます！
ドライライディングと言えば海にばっしゃんされないライドも選べるので寒くて体が冷え切っていた私達はドライライディングを選択しました。スタッフさんはとてもテンション高くて楽しかった！ライド時間も長くて楽しめました☆

My daughter and her husband went parasailing, and I rode as an observer. The boat captain and another person were both Caucasian, but they explained things in broken Japanese, which made me feel at ease. Next time, I want to try it myself.
娘夫婦がパラセイリングをして、私はオブザーバ（見学者）として乗りました。
ボートキャプテンともう一人は白人の方でしたが、片言に日本語で説明してくれていたので安心できました。
今度は自分が体験してみたいと思いました。

The best kick ass time in Hawaii, the divers were very attentive. Seeing the ocean from underneath is awesome for this non-swimmer.Younger kids could enjoy this. Bring cash for the pictures as credit cards not accepted.
The weather was great, and it felt wonderful to have a panoramic view of Waikiki and the ocean from a high vantage point. It was very enjoyable! I thought being pulled by the boat would be fast and scary, but it was actually a very graceful experience. It was the best. Although they don't speak Japanese, they handled boarding and disembarking smoothly.
However, I felt that adding $30 for photos on top of the price was a bit steep. A friend who used another parasailing tour mentioned that they were able to take pictures with their own camera, so I was a bit disappointed about that. (But after seeing other people's posts recommending the photos, I regret not buying them...)
天気がよく、高いところからワイキキと海を一望できてとても気持ちよく、楽しかったです！！
船で引っ張られるので、速くて怖いのかと思っていましたが、全然そんなことはなく、とても優雅な時間でした。最高です。日本語は通じませんが、乗り降りはスムーズに対応してくれます。
ただ、この値段で写真にプラス３０ドルというのはちょっとお高めかなと。
他のパラセイリングツアーを利用した知人は、自分の持っていったカメラで撮影することができたと言っていたので、その点はちょっと残念でした。（でも他の方の投稿を見ると写真もおすすめと書いてあるので、買えばよかったなと後悔してます...）
