All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

This was my second time participating, and it was just as great as before. There was music playing on the boat, creating a wonderful atmosphere. Plus, there was an all-you-can-drink option. I highly recommend it. By the way, this is the same boat that the members were on in the final episodes of the Hawaii season of Terrace House.

2度目の参加でしたが、相変わらずよかったです。船では音楽も流れていて、とても雰囲気がいいです。更にはお酒も飲み放題。
とてもおすすめです。
ちなみにテラハのハワイ編終盤で、メンバーが乗ってたやつです。

Parasailing itself was fun and a valuable experience! However, it was disappointing to encounter issues with the reservation time and transportation. (We might have just been unlucky...)

[What was disappointing] The shuttle did not arrive at the scheduled time, and we were left waiting. In frustration, we called the local desk of the travel agency we were using for assistance, and they informed us that "the operator had made a mistake with the reservation time." The time we had booked and nearby times were not available, resulting in us being rescheduled for a session two hours later, wasting our morning. We might have just been unlucky, but I wanted to leave this information for future travelers.

[What was good] Parasailing was a lot of fun! The staff was very encouraging. I wore a swimsuit and did a water splash, but my upper body didn't get wet. So, I think waterproofing clothing isn't that necessary. (Please make sure to put your phone in a waterproof case when taking pictures!) Your feet will get wet, so you should bring a large towel!

パラセーリング 自体は楽しく、貴重な体験でした！が、予約時間や送迎などのトラブルに巻き込まれてしまった事が残念です。(私たちがたまたま巻き込まれたのかもしれませんが…。)
【残念だったこと】予約した時間になっても送迎の車が来ず、待ちぼうけをくらいました。困って、利用していた旅行会社の現地デスクに電話をして仲介をしてもらったところ「業者側が予約時間を間違えていた」とのこと。私たちが予約をした時間や近い時間はNGで、結果2時間後の回に回されて午前中が無駄になってしまいました。私たちがたまたま巻き込まれただけかもしれませんが、今後利用される方々への情報程度に書き残しておきます。
【よかったこと】パラセーリング はとても楽しかったです！スタッフのお兄さんも盛り上げてくれます。水着を着ていき、水ジャポンをしたのですが、上半身は濡れませんでした。なので衣類で防水対策はそこまで必要ないかと思います。(※携帯で撮影する場合は必ず防水ケースに入れてください！※) 足は濡れるので大きいタオルは持くべきです！

We were the only Japanese people, but everyone was friendly and talked to us! Even if you can't speak English, you'll manage just fine! Haha. It was my first time parasailing, and the view was absolutely amazing! I have a fear of heights, but I was having so much fun that it didn't bother me at all!

日本人は私たちだけでしたが、みなさん気さくで話しかけてくれました！英語が喋れなくてもなんとかなります！笑 初のパラセイルでしたが、景色は最高過ぎました！高所恐怖症でしたが、そんなことよりも楽し過ぎて気になりませんでした！

I participated in the monitor tour this time, and it was a wonderful experience; I'm really glad I joined! The backstage tour before the show was exciting as we got to see behind the scenes that we usually can't access! They even took photos for us.
The meal was luxurious and very satisfying!
And the show featured the dancers' energetic performances, which were truly impressive!! From hula to impersonation shows, I had a great time, and the time flew by.
I went on the last day of my stay in Waikiki, and it was a fitting way to spend my final night. Thank you very much.

今回モニターツアーで参加をしましたがとても良い経験ができ、本当に参加して良かったです！ショー前のバックツアーでは普段は見られない裏側を見られてわくわく！写真も撮ってくださいました。
お食事も豪華で大満足！
そしてショーはダンサーの皆様のエネルギッシュなパフォーマンスが圧巻でした！！フラからモノマネショーまで、とても楽しめてあっという間の時間でした。
ワイキキ滞在日の最終日に行きましたが最後の夜にふさわしい時間を過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

My boyfriend and I went to this event on the first day of our trip. Our coach is so nice and accommodating. The oxygen tank is heavy and I couldn't really carry it. So he actually carried it for me and helped me wear it when I was in water so it didn't feel heavy haha.
For the next half an hour, we dived around and saw so many small, tropical fishes swimming around us. We saw coral reefs and even a starfish.
It was our first time scuba diving, and our coach is so patient and nice and explained the procedures and things to keep in mind to us in detail. He also answered all the questions I had. He took photos and videos of us scuba diving.
Overall, it was such an amazing experience!

When you're in a couple, each person gets their own instructor, so you receive thorough guidance, but you end up splitting up. You can get close at some points to take photos, which you can purchase later. They didn't pressure you to buy anything.

カップルだと一人一人に先生が付いてくれるので、しっかりと教えてもらえる反面、別行動になる。
途中で近づいて写真を撮ってもらえるが、あとで購入できるようだ。無理に売りつけてくる事はなかった。

Before putting on the equipment, I had to take off my clothes that I didn't want to get wet, but I forgot to take them off and it was a bit chaotic. However, I had a great time floating in the sky! It was amazing!!

器具をつけられる前に濡れたくない洋服は脱がなければならなかったのに、脱ぎ忘れててんやわんやしましたが楽しく空を浮遊できました！
最高でした！！

As the reviews mentioned, there were many international guests, and only two groups of Japanese people, including us. This made it feel less like being away from home, and everyone was friendly and cheerful. There are restrooms available, but they are the typical ones found on boats. I thought we would only be able to see the sunset, but to my surprise, we encountered a whale!!! As soon as we spotted it, the captain quickly changed our course towards the whale, and we were able to see it multiple times! Drinks were served promptly, and it felt great to see Waikiki from the sea♪

クチコミ通り、海外の方が多く、日本人は私たち含め２組だけでした。
それではアウェイ感はなく、皆様フレンドリーでわきあいあい。
トイレはありますが、よくある船のトイレです。
夕日を観られるだけかと思いきや、まさかのクジラに遭遇！！！しかも見つけた瞬間キャプテンはすぐに航路をクジラへと変えてくださり、何度も見ることができました！
ドリンクもすぐに提供してくださいますし、ワイキキを海から見るのもまた良い気分でした♪

It was the first parasailing experience for my parents in their 50s and 60s. Both of them had great smiles. I regret not being able to give the tip smoothly. I wanted to express my gratitude, so it's a good idea to research the customary amount and prepare it in advance, rather than rushing at the moment.

50・60代の両親にとって、初めてのパラセーリングでした。2人ともいい笑顔が見れました。チップをスマートに渡せなかったのが悔やまれます。
感謝の気持ちを伝えたくて、渡したくなるので、その時慌てるより予め相場を調べて用意しておくと良いですよ。

Third Mai Tai cruise and once again did not disappoint. First was the Sunset in 2016, Fireworks 2017 and Fireworks again 2018 !! Had a great time, drinks were fabulous as were the staff... See you again in 2019 !!!!

This was one of my highlights. This is a well-planned thriller for anyone that wishes to get a great view of the waterfront. Safety is paramount, putting everyone at ease. The pleasant banter is great and the staff members are experts in their field. I enjoyed the entire time and got some great shots of the boat and the view. Anyone wanting some adventure without travelling far from the beach - this is a great package!

My first sunset catamaran experience. The views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the horizon from the boat were all amazing! We even happened to see a whale, and everyone got excited pointing it out. The sunset was incredibly beautiful. However, the $24 for the photo taken before boarding the boat felt a bit pricey... I didn't buy it.

初めてのサンセットカタマラン。船上から見るワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッド、水平線。どれも最高でした！偶然にもクジラにも出会えて他の方たちとあっちだこっちだと盛り上がりました。サンセットは最高にキレイでした。 ただ、船に乗る前に撮ってくれた写真が$24はちと高いかな。。買いませんでした。

We flew as a family of three. My son, who just turned five, could only experience this here. It was about a five-minute walk from our accommodation at Hilton Grand Vacations, so the kids were fine without getting cranky. The weather wasn't great, so it was a bit chilly... I thought he might be scared of the activity, but he was super excited (laughs). On the way back, he managed to splash just his feet in the sea :-) I brought a waterproof camera, so I took pictures of the scenery from the sky myself instead of asking someone else to do it. The people who participated with us had someone take their pictures, and they got some quite humorous shots, so I thought I might ask for photos when my younger son is old enough to join.

親子３人で飛びました。
５歳になったばかりの息子が体験できるのはここくらいでした。
宿泊しているヒルトングランドバケーションから徒歩で５分くらいのところだったので、子どももグズることなくよかったです。
天気はあまりよくなかったので、少し肌寒かったです・・・
アクティビティ自体は怖がるかなーと思っていたのですが、大興奮でした（笑）
戻るときにうまい具合に足だけ海ポチャしてくれました:-)
防水カメラを持参していたので、撮影は頼まず自分で空からの風景を撮りました。
一緒に参加した方たちは撮影を頼んでいて、なかなかユーモアのある写真を撮ってもらっていたので、次男が参加できる年齢になったときには撮影をお願いしようかなぁ、と思いました。

After reading the reviews, we decided to participate because it met our travel conditions:
- Activities suitable for three people
- Enjoyable for elementary school children and older adults.

The staff seemed to speak a little Japanese, so there were no communication issues. Everyone on the same boat was Japanese, which created a sense of camaraderie.

On the boat, cheerful music played as we headed out to sea. Each group took turns jumping.

It mentioned to wear swimsuits in advance, but I didn’t have one, so I participated in clothes that could get wet. That was not a problem at all.

During the parasailing, we enjoyed the view of the horizon, Diamond Head, and airplanes from the ocean, with a refreshing breeze making it the best experience! After we got off the boat, we were lucky enough to see a whale swimming at just the right moment! Before the parasailing ended, they let us dip our feet in the water. They adjusted based on the people, and while we only dipped once, a couple went in twice, and a group of male college students got splashed several times, which was entertaining for us to watch.

While we were flying, the staff took many photos. We received the data on an SD card for $30. Considering that in Japanese theme parks, one photo costs 2000 to 3000 yen, this was a bargain!

It was a valuable experience!

口コミをみて、
・３人でもできること
・小学校低学年や年配の人でも楽しめること
という私たちの旅行条件に叶っていたので、参加しました。

スタッフさんは、日本語も少し話せるみたいで、コミュニケーションに問題はなかったです。
同じ船に乗った人たちは、みんな日本人だったので、なんとなく連帯感も。笑

船の上では、陽気な音楽が流れ、沖までいきます。各グループごとに順番に飛びました。

水着を事前に着用してくださいと書いてましたが、私は水着を持ってなく、濡れてもいい格好で参加しました。それでも問題なかったです。

パラセイリング中は、沖から眺める水平線、ダイヤモンドヘッド、飛行機、など景色が楽しめて、爽やかな風が気持ちよく最高の体験でした！
そして私たちは、船に降りてからでしたが、タイミングよくクジラが泳いでるのが見れました！
パラセイリングが終わる前に、海に足が浸かるようにしてくれます。人をみて加減してくれてて、私たちは、一回浸かっただけでしたが、カップルは二回、男子大学生？のグループは、身体まで何回かポチャンしてもらってて、見てる私たちも楽しませてもらいました。
飛んでる間、スタッフさんが写真を沢山撮ってくれます。
S Dカードでデータをもらい、30ドルです。日本のテーマパークで、１枚写真を買うのに、2000〜3000円することを思うと、安い！

貴重な体験ができました！

Fun time- would’ve been better with fins in the current. I was assuming a younger child. The turtles were quite the experience. We saw whales during the sail portion. We met fun people. The kids got to play in the water around the boat when they were done snorkeling. The crew was playful but professional.
Overall it was a win!

We departed from the harbor located further inside the Ala Moana Shopping Center. The staff spoke Japanese, so I felt at ease listening to their explanations.
The 150m parasailing offered breathtaking views!!
As a kind gesture, they let us splash into the sea while being pulled back to the boat from the air. The time spent heading out was also fun, like riding a jet ski.
Thank you very much!

アラモアナショッピングセンターの更に奥にある港から出発でした。スタッフの方は日本語喋れますし、安心して説明を聞けます。
150mのパラセーリングは絶景でした！！
ご厚意で、空から船へ紐を引っ張って戻るとき海にバシャバシャッと付けてもらいました。沖に出るまでの時間もジェットスキーみたいで楽しいです。
ありがとうございました！

We travel by boat from the shore to the open sea and board a submarine. The boat rocks a lot, but the submarine is quiet. The sight of the large schools of fish gathering around the reef is spectacular. While there aren't as many coral reefs as in Okinawa, it's a great experience to have at least once.

浜から沖まで船で移動し、潜水艦に乗艦します。船はよく揺れますが潜水艦は静かです。漁礁に群がる魚の大群は見ものです。沖縄のようにサンゴ礁はいっぱいありませんが一度経験するには最高です

The night view and fireworks were beautiful and amazing. The all-you-can-drink menu was also rich with options like beer, champagne, and Mai Tai! I want to participate again.

夜景も花火も綺麗で最高でした。飲み放題のメニューもビールやシャンパンやマイタイ等豊富でした！また参加したいです。

I had an amazing time! The Mai Tai was delicious, and the staff were great at getting everyone excited! Above all, the sunset was beautiful, and we even saw a whale! There were three groups of Japanese and one Korean family, and we were able to blend in with the Westerners without feeling out of place! Everyone shared their seats, and we were able to take photos at the stunning viewpoint! This was my fourth time in Hawaii, and I will definitely participate again next time.

最高に楽しかったですマイタイも美味しく、staffも盛り上げ上手でした‼
何より夕日が綺麗で　おまけにクジラも現れました❗　日本人も３組　韓国人家族も1組おりそんなに違和感なく欧米人の中に溶け込む事が出来ました❗　皆で席を譲り合って絶景pointの撮影も撮ることが出来ました❗
４回目のハワイですが　次回も参加します

I tried parasailing for the first time, and I'm glad I did! It was less scary than I expected, and I was able to enjoy the view from above!

はじめてパラセーリングにチャレンジしましたが、やって良かったです！
思ったより恐くなくむしろ空の上からの景色を楽しむことが出来ました！！

i bought this as a gift for a family holiday, we had the best time on board and the crew were amazing!

We even managed to see 2 whales!

I chose the 150m option since I was there. It was a tandem flight with my elementary school son, and the view from above was amazing. The staff were experienced and had everything ready in no time. With that momentum, we said, "Let's go! Bye-bye!" and soared into the sky. We even had a splash at the end!

I highly recommend this active experience.

せっかくなので150ｍをチョイス。
小学生の息子とのタンデムフライトでしたが、上空からの眺めはサイコーです。
スタッフも手慣れたもので、あっという間に準備完了。
その勢いで、レッツゴー！　ばいばーい！　って感じで大空へ。
最後にドボンのおまけつき＾＾

おすすめのアクティブですよ。

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed the sailing adventure! The staff was funny and helped make it a great time with lots of laughs. We went with the all-you-can-drink option for a little extra and it was a great choice. Sail lasted an hour and a half which was plenty of time to drink enough to make it worth it. We enjoyed it so much that as soon as we got off the sail we went right up to the check-in umbrella and signed up for another sail the next day.

It was the best parasailing debut, blessed with great weather! Both the captain and the crew were very lively, which made it really exciting! I felt no fear at all and had a lot of fun flying in the sky! In the end, I was dropped into the sea at Big Japon, and it felt amazing! The bus driver, Yano, during the transfer was very cheerful, making the trip enjoyable both ways!

天候にも恵まれた、最高のパラセイリングデビューでした！
船長さん、上げてくれる方、どちらもノリが良くてとてもワクワクしました！
恐怖は全く無く、とても楽しく空を飛ぶことができました！
最後はビックジャポンで海に落として頂きとても気持ちよかったです！
送迎の際のバスの運転手のヤノさんがとても愉快な方で行き帰りも楽しませて頂きました！

I had a great time! I was a bit anxious about snorkeling in deep water where my feet couldn't touch the bottom, but thanks to the life jacket being fully inflated, I had enough buoyancy and it wasn't scary at all. If you've snorkeled before, you'll definitely enjoy it!

Since it's out in the ocean, there are mostly black fish, so if you're looking to see colorful fish, this might not be the best spot. However, there are plenty of sea turtles! I saw at least five! Watching them swim in groups was wonderful!

It seems to be a diving spot, as there were divers from diving tours below us. I was very satisfied watching the sea turtles and fish gracefully swimming in the deep sea! During the boat ride, I also got to see dolphins and whales, which was a nice touch for Hawaii!

Just a heads up, after snorkeling, the cruising can be a bit chilly with a wet body in the wind, so I recommend dressing warmly. Also, the boat goes quite fast, so if you're prone to seasickness, be prepared. They also do some leisurely sailing with the sails up, which added a nice variety to the experience.

You can easily enjoy this without going far, right off the coast of Waikiki, so I definitely recommend it!

とっても楽しかったです！
足がつかない沖でのシュノーケルが不安でしたがライフジャケットをパンパンに膨らましたため、浮力があったので怖いことはなくシュノーケルしたことある方なら十分楽しめます！
沖なので、魚は黒い魚が多く色とりどりの魚を見たい方には向きません。
ただ、海亀はたくさんいます！5匹は見れました！群れて泳ぐ姿が良かったです！
ダイビングスポットなのか、下にはダイビングツアーのダイバーも。
深い海を優雅に泳ぐ海亀と魚に大満足です！
船で移動中には、イルカの背やホエールも見れてハワイ詰め合わせでした！
ただ、シュノーケル後にクルージングなので濡れた体が風にあたり寒いです。しっかり防寒することをお勧めします。
また、かなりスリリングに船を飛ばしてくれるので酔いやすい方は対策を。
ゆったり帆を張ってスローなクルージングもしてくれるので緩急あって飽きませんでした。
遠くに行かなくてもワイキキ沖で手軽に楽しめるのでぜひ！

A full capacity of 49 passengers on board, with 7 Japanese people. There was all-you-can-drink beer, champagne, and cocktails. The fireworks were also well visible. Since there were no snacks provided, we brought our own.

満杯の49名乗船
内日本人は7名か？
ビールからシャンパン、カクテルもあり、飲み放題
花火も良く見えました。
スナック等がないので、私たちは持参で行きました。

There were a lot of fish while snorkeling, but I was a bit disappointed that there were few colorful ones. We went as a family of three, and my daughter, who is not fond of the ocean, stayed close to me, allowing us parents to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. We were also able to see sea turtles underwater and seals floating on the surface nearby. The sailing after snorkeling, with the splashes of waves, was surprisingly thrilling and fun.

シュノーケリングで魚は沢山いたのですが、色の付いた魚が少なかったのが、少しガッカリでした。家族3人で行ったのですが、海が苦手な娘にずっと付き添ってもらえて、親は安心してシュノーケリングを楽しめました。海中のウミガメ、海に浮かぶアザラシも近くで見えました。シュノーケリング後の波飛沫を上げて進むセーリングが思いの外、迫力があり楽しかったです。

We experienced parasailing in Hawaii as a couple on our honeymoon. Now that our son is 8 years old, we thought he could join us, so the three of us enjoyed parasailing together.

The captain and crew were great, speaking to our son in easy-to-understand English, and he seemed to have a lot of fun. They provided explanations in simple Japanese, so you can fly without any worries.

After flying, we had the classic experience of landing with just our lower bodies in the water! If you attach an action camera like a GoPro to your body while flying, you'll get some amazing footage.

新婚旅行のときに夫婦でハワイパラセイリングを体験しました。
息子も8歳になり、もう飛べるだろうということで、家族3人でパラセイリングを楽しんできました。

キャプテンとクルーの方もいい人で息子にわかりやすい英語で会話してくれて楽しそうでした。説明などは片言の日本語で十分してくれますので不安なく飛べますよ。

飛んだあとはお約束の下半身だけ着水！
GoProなどのアクションカムを体に取り付けて飛ぶととてもいい画が撮れますよ。

Upon arrival, it started to rain, and we were supposed to go on the second of the two boats. However, the boat broke down, and we were told we would go once the first boat returned. As the rain intensified, the trip was postponed, and our morning hopes were dashed. It ended up being in the early afternoon, and the voucher we provided did not return. I wrote down the details on paper and confirmed with a translation app that I would wait early at the meeting point two days later. Fifteen minutes before the scheduled time, they came to pick me up, and when we arrived at the boat dock, it was raining again and cold, but we completed the parasailing as planned. I think it would be reassuring if the staff could speak Japanese.

現地到着して、雨が降って来たところ二隻あるボートの内2番目に行く事になったがボートが故障して一番目に行ったボートが戻ったら行くとの事だったが、雨が強くなり、延期としたが、午前中の希望は通らず、午後イチになり、今日渡したバーチャーは戻らず、自分で紙に書いて翻訳アプリで確認して２日後に待ち合わせ場所で早めに待ってると、１５分前に迎えに来てボート乗り場に着いたらまたまた雨で、寒かったけど目的のパラセーリングは完了。スタッフさんが日本語話せれば安心出来ると思う

The experience was amazing and the staff were really helpful and great.
