I was a bit anxious about participating with my 3-year-old and 7-year-old children, but we had a great time!
Since the reviews here were helpful, I wanted to write in detail as a thank you.
Check-in was at 8:30, so we arrived on time, but it turned out that the reception started at 8:30... arriving at 8:50 was totally fine.
The location is the beach at Outrigger Hotel. The nearby beaches are connected, so it seems fine to walk along the beach.
Everything was in English, but there were also Japanese instructions, so there were no issues. It didn't seem like they were saying anything too complicated.
The crew was kind and polite, so I had no worries. Plus, all of them were incredibly handsome. It was quite a treat for the eyes.
After setting sail, we arrived at the spot shortly after. We jumped right into the water. And immediately saw turtles! We spotted about four at once! One of the crew members stayed with our family and supported the kids, so we were able to enjoy it for a solid hour.
The kids got tired, so we got back on the boat, but it was cold during this season. It was also drizzling on and off, so warm clothing is essential. We brought two bath towels, a hoodie, and a light jacket, but having one more bath towel might have been better. Since we got wet, one towel for warmth would have been useful.
After that, we went sailing, which was super fast and felt like jumping! This was also very exciting.
Drinks were around $2 to $5. We could choose from beer, juice, and more. We paid after arriving, including tips.
In any case, we saw a lot of turtles! With the beautiful sea and the handsome crew, it was an incredibly fun experience! It wrapped up quickly in the morning, so I was satisfied with how we spent our time!
3歳と7歳の子供達を連れての参加だったので不安でしたが、とても楽しめました!
ここのクチコミが役に立ったのでお礼を込めて詳しく書きたいと思います。
チェックインは、0830だったので、間に合うように行きましたが、0830からの受付って事だったのですね…0850で全く問題無かったです。
場所は、アウトリガーホテルのビーチ。近辺のビーチは、繋がっているので、ビーチつたいに行っても問題なさそうです。
言葉は全て英語。案内は日本語もあるので、問題ありませんでした。
難しい事も言ってなさそう。
クルーも優しく、丁寧ですし、心配無かったです。そして全員がイケメンすぎる。
目の保養感半端ないです。
出航し、少ししたら、スポット到着。
すぐに海に入りました。
そしてすぐにカメさん!
4匹くらい一気に見れました!
家族に一人のクルーが付いてくれ、子供達をサポートしてくれたので、
しっかり1時間ほど楽しめました。
子供達が疲れたので船に上がりましたが、
この時期は寒い。
雨も降ったり止んだりなので、防寒は必須です。
我が家はバスタオル2枚、パーカー、羽織で行きましたが、バスタオルはもう一枚あった方が良かったかも。
濡れてしまうので、1枚防寒用に。
その後はセーリング、すごいスピードで、ジャンプするように!こちらも大興奮でした。
ドリンクは、2ドルから5ドルくらい。
ビール、ジュースなど選べました。支払いは到着後、チップと合わせて払いました。
とにかくカメさん沢山見れました!綺麗な海と、イケメンクルーで、最高に楽しかったです!
サクッと午前中で終わるので、時間の遣い方としても満足しました!

Had a great time at the Royal Hawaiian luau this week. It was much more than simply hula dancing and a fire show. The performances were short acts telling the story of the Hawaiian culture and history through song and dance. I could feel the passion for Hawaii in the host of the evening as he was setting the scene for each act. Interestingly, he was one of the actors in the original Hawaii 5.0!
Before the show started, it was fun to learn and actually see the process of how Hawaiian people made the material for their clothing. It was actually made of out sticks!
Food was plentiful and tasty with lots of variety. Highly recommended experience. The setting was beautiful on the lawn with the beach and an amazing view of Diamond Head in the background. A very special evening!

Thanks to Hawaiian Parasail our entire family of four had a fantastic bonding experience on a breezy September Saturday afternoon. What a unique way to spend quality time together--up in the air overseeing the entire city of Honolulu while watching fish passing right under us in the crystal clear Hawaiian waters.
We had celebrated our younger son’s fifth birthday the weekend before, and taking him parasailing was definitely the best gift he received. In fact, he was waiting for this day since he was two! We moved to Hawaii almost three years ago, and ever since then, my little Daniel was dreaming of parasailing. Due to the age restrictions, however, we had to wait till he turned five. So, just a few days after his fifth birthday, this boy’s dream came true.
I would definitely recommend this experience to others. The captain and the crew were very professional and friendly. They took pictures of us that I will frame and put up on the wall in our living room. What unique shots!
We received detailed instructions on what to do, and by the way, for the Japanese travellers, there is a Japanese safety briefing in their own language. The feet dip is a must! The captain is very sensitive and if a guest asks not to be dipped, he will follow the instructions 100 percent. My boys were not scared of being dipped at all, and as soon as we came back to shore, both of them asked when we would be able to repeat the adventure! Thank you, Hawaiian Parasail for giving us these unforgettable memories.

My friends and I had a wonderful time at the Spirit of Aloha!
The departing location is very convenient and we could just walk from our our hotel. The check-in was fast and after we boarded the Captain gave us a safety briefing and we started the sail.
The appetizers were good, they have a small buffet line with wings, meatballs and dried snacks. The bar has a selection of draft beer, champagne and cocktails and the prices are very reasonable. Watching the sunset in Hawaii listening to good music, cocktails and friends was the highlight of trip. The views from Waikiki are amazing and at this time of the year, after the sunset we still got to sail under the starts and it was very relaxing. Make sure to include this cruise on your next trip to Hawaii!

My friends and I had a great time at the Waikiki Starlight Luau!
The location is very convenient and we could just walk from our our hotel. Once we arrived the check-in was fast and we had a friendly staff greeting us with a Hawaiian lei and a welcome drink, nothing better than start the night with a Mai Tai! The food was very delicious and I love the variety of the food, specially the salads. It's great that they have a station specially for the kids.
The show was wonderful, full of delightful performances. My favorite part was the fire knife dance and to learn more about the other Polynesian cultures like Tonga, New Zeland, Samoa and Tahiti.
I would for sure come back to the this luau!

Whatever your preferences are, you'll probably only have one chance in your life to see Elvis perform live on stage with a group of talented Polynesian dancers. Throw in a pretty great luau dinner and you can begin to see why this show is so popular. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the artists that were featured that night, but it is still really entertaining to see a group of people so devoted to their craft. I highly recommend this for couples staying in Waikiki.

What a wonderful evening. Perfect location, beach front right at the heart of Waikiki, with a beautiful views from Diamond Head. The Royal Hawaiian Hotel is the most tradition hotel in Waikiki, the staff is very friendly and always ready to help you.
Before the dinner and the show start you can learn more about Hawaiian traditions. The buffet has a big variety of dishes and the food was very tasty. The drinks were very good too.
The storytelling of the show is very interesting they talk about Hawaiian history starting when the first Polynesians arrived, passing by the Royalty time and until it became the 50th state. The dancers and the singers are fantastic!
Great evening under the starts, good food and friends. I would definitely come back again and I I recommend Aha Aina Luau to everybody!

This was the only activity I experienced on my first trip to Hawaii! Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, but I had a lot of fun and was very satisfied! I definitely want to do it again♪ Since this review was very helpful, I’d like to report my experience in detail!
【Height】It felt more like the duration of being airborne (and the distance from the boat) changed rather than the "altitude." I think it was about 45m? Those who mentioned 150m seemed to feel it wasn't much different from our height. By the way, I can't stand on the glass floor of Tokyo Tower, but I wasn't scared at all during parasailing, perhaps because I felt safe with the ocean below me! The part you sit on felt relatively sturdy; it swayed but also felt stable (^^)
【Seasickness】I read many reviews warning about seasickness, so I made sure to take motion sickness medication before going (laughs). I usually get motion sickness, but maybe because of the medication or my mental preparation, I didn't feel sick at all. The boat does sway quite a bit, but if you look straight ahead instead of to the side, it's relatively manageable.
【Time】We had a little over an hour with five groups. Since we were the first to fly, I thought we might be bored afterward, but surprisingly, the boat itself was quite fun as an activity☆ (On the way back, the captain tilted the boat for a fun ride, which was amusing!)
【Bad Weather】On the day we initially booked, it was canceled due to "bad weather from strong winds," and we were able to reschedule for the next day. The following day, it was lightly raining, but since the winds weren't strong, we were able to go parasailing safely♪ I was very surprised by how thorough the procedures for rescheduling due to cancellation were. Since the cancellation decision was made relatively close to the time (two hours before), they called both my registered mobile and hotel room, and I received a prompt and polite email afterward. The contact was from VELTRA, not the local company, so everything was in Japanese, which was very helpful, and they assisted with the reservation changes during the phone call.
【Language】As mentioned above, since I could rely on VELTRA for the procedures, it was all in Japanese, which was a relief. At the reception, there was a Japanese woman, so I didn't have any issues there. On the boat, there were only local staff, but they communicated the necessary information in Japanese, so there were no problems at all! However, it was a bit disappointing that I couldn't engage in more conversation with the lively staff. I regretted my English skills.
【Others】
- The basic idea was "splashing into the sea," and you could ask not to be splashed if you didn't want to.
- The photo service was $30 for cash and $35 for card payment. Even if you didn't request it, they took photos as a standard practice, and after returning, you could easily check the photos and purchase the ones you liked. I think it's worth buying the photos of yourself flying since they won't take those unless you ask♪
- I prepared tips separately to give at the end of the trip.
- I was impressed by the captain's control of the parachute (laughs).
初めてのハワイ旅行で唯一体験したアクティビティでした!あいにくの天気ではありましたが、とても楽しく満足できました!またぜひやってみたい♪こちらの口コミがとても参考になったので、詳しめに体験談をレポートしたいと思います!
【高さ】”高度”というより滞空時間(と船からの距離)が変わる印象です。おそらく45mかな?と思われる方々の回はちょっと時間的に物足りなさそうに感じました。また、150mとおっしゃっていた方たちの高さは、さほど自分たちと変わらないように感じました。
ちなみに、私は東京タワーのガラス床に立てないですが、パラセイリングは下が海という安心感(?)からか、全然恐くありませんでした!乗る部分も比較的しっかりしていて、揺れるけど安定感もあった気がします(^^)
【船酔い】口コミで散々船酔いに注意とあったので、酔い止めをしっかり飲んで臨みました(笑)私は乗り物酔いはよくする方ですが、薬のせいか事前の心の準備があったせいか、全然酔いませんでした。確かに船はだいぶ揺れます。が、横を見ずに進行方向を見るとかすると比較的大丈夫です。
【時間】私たちは5組で1時間強でした。1番最初に飛んだので、後の時間が暇かなぁと思ってましたが、意外と船自体がアクティビティ的で楽しめました☆(帰港の時は船長さんの遊び心で船体を傾けてのライドで面白かったです!)
【悪天候】私たちは、最初に予約した日は「強風による悪天候」でその日は全日不催行になり、次の日に再予約してもらいました。次の日は、小雨が降る中でしたが、風が強くなかったのでOKとのことで無事パラセイリングを実施することができました♪
この不催行による予約変更等の手続きが、非常に丁寧で驚きました。実施2時間前という比較的時間が迫っている中での不催行決定だったからか、登録していた携帯とホテルの部屋にも電話があり、その後すぐに丁寧なメールが来ました。現地の会社さんではなく、VELTRAさんからの連絡だったのですべて日本語対応でしたし、その電話のやりとりの中で予約変更の手続きもしていただいて、非常に助かりました。
【言語】上記の通り、手続き関係はVELTRAさんにお願いできたので全面日本語で助かりました。現地では、受付に日本人の女性の方がいたのでこちらも困ることはありませんでした。船上では現地スタッフの方たちだけでしたが、必要最低限のことは日本語でも伝えてくれるので全く問題ありませんでした!ただ、とても盛り上げてくださる方たちだったのに必要以上のお話しができなかったのは残念。自分の英語力を悔やみました。
【その他】
・「海にドボン」が基本で、入れてほしくない時にお願いする感じでした。
・写真のサービスは、現金だと30ドル・カード払いだと35ドルでした。頼んでいなくても基本は写真を撮ってくれていて、帰港後に簡単に写真をチェックして、気に入れば購入するという形でした。自分が飛んでる様子は頼まないと撮れないので、購入した方が記念になると思います♪
・チップは別途準備しました。帰港時に渡します。
・船長さんたちのパラシュートのコントロール力に感動しました(笑)

This was my second time parasailing. I had some excitement from my memories of the previous experience, but it exceeded my expectations! At first, I was a bit anxious because the tour details were all in English and I wondered if they would understand Japanese, but both staff members clearly loved Japan, which made the time on the boat enjoyable.
On the way to the parasailing spot, we enjoyed the view of the town (even though we were going really fast), chatting and taking photos, which was also a lot of fun! The staff were very lively, and they even took photos with us.
When we finally arrived and started!!! The height was incredible, scary but fun!!! Being in the air was both frightening and exhilarating!!! The staff had a playful spirit, and just when I thought it was about to end, they surprised us with one more fun experience!
As we were leaving, they kindly shared information about that day's events and the market for the next day. The staff were truly friendly and cheerful.
I would definitely like to request them again when I go parasailing in Hawaii!
Thank you very much.

Access to Waikiki Beach is excellent for conducting activities, but my satisfaction was very low for the following reasons:
- Minimal coaching: Once in the water, the instructions were limited to "paddle paddle! Stand up." There were two coaches for a group of six, but one of them spent most of the time chatting with a young woman.
- Risk of injury from contact with coral reefs: The activity location has scattered coral reefs, some of which rise close to the water's surface. While I didn't sustain serious injuries, I accidentally fell off the board and suffered bruises and scrapes on my feet, and I also scraped my fingers while paddling.
- It may vary by day, but on the day I participated, there were almost no waves. I felt like I was being pushed from behind to ride low waves.
For these reasons, I strongly recommend either renting a board to enjoy on your own or taking lessons at a place like Hawaiian Fire Surf School, which offers excellent instruction and attention.
ワイキキビーチで実施するためアクセスは優れているのですが、以下の点で満足度は非常に低いものでした。
・コーチングは基本なし:海に入ってからは「パドルパドル!立って」程度、集団レッスンでしたので6人に対して2人のコーチがつきましたが、うち1人は若い女性につきっきりでお喋りばかりしていました。
・サンゴ礁への接触による怪我の恐れあり:実施場所はサンゴ礁が点在しており、場所によっては海面付近まで隆起しています。大事には至っていませんが、誤ってボードから落ちてしまい足に打撲や擦り傷を負い、またパドリング時には手の指をすりむきました。
・日によるのかもしれませんが、私が参加した日はほとんど波がありませんでした。後ろからボードを押されて無理やり低い波に乗ったという印象です。
上記の理由から、自身でボードを借りて自力で楽しむか、またはHawaiian Fire Surf Schoolのような場所、指導の丁寧さともに優れた所でレッスンを受講されることを強くおすすめします。
Aloha,
Thank you for participating in the lesson at Hands High Demand Surf School. We also appreciate your valuable feedback. We sincerely apologize for the experience you had during the lesson you signed up for. Our staff is dedicated to sharing the joy of the ocean and surfing with everyone, and we strive to ensure customer satisfaction every day. However, in group lessons, it can be challenging to provide instruction tailored to each individual. We will work on improving our services to ensure we can offer safe and enjoyable lessons. If you consider joining us again, we highly recommend private lessons, where we can provide more detailed instruction.
Additionally, since this is a sport that involves nature, we currently cannot control factors such as tides and wave sizes. However, we are committed to ensuring that everyone can enjoy their experience even in less than ideal conditions. We look forward to your next participation.
MAHALO!

また貴重なご意見ありがとうございます。
今回せっかくお申込みいただいたレッスンでこのような経験をされてしまったこと、大変申し訳なく思います。
スタッフ一同、皆様に海の楽しさ、波乗りの楽しさを知って頂きたく、日々お客様に満足頂けるよう努めておりますが、グループレッスンですとお客様それぞれに合った指導が難しい場合もござます。お客様に安全で楽しいレッスンが提供できますようサービスの改善に努めてまいります。プライベートレッスンであれば細かなレッスンを行っておりますので、次回ご参加の場合はプライベートレッスンをもぜひご検討ください。
また、どうしても自然相手のスポーツですので、潮の満ち引き、波の大きさなどこちらでコントロール出来ないのが現状ですが、その波のない中でも皆様に楽しんで頂けるよう、日々努めております。
またのご参加、お待ちしております。
MAHALO!

We were picked up on time by a friendly driver who explained everything we needed to know regarding our hike. He was right on with his explanation. We walked along with several others up the trails which we easy then got to some of the curves and switchbacks where the footing was a little difficult. Be sure to wear good tennis shoes or hiking boots not sandals or heels for this hike. We came to a series of steps that were steep then into a tunnel that was a few minutes long. Outside the tunnel there were 2 routes to the top. One set of steps much steeper than the other but can stop and rest along the way if needed. Once on the top the views were spectacular and well worth the climb. I'm 65 years old and have 3 stents in my hear and made this "moderate " hike with only a few stops. There are some rough areas in this hike so people with walkers, wheel chairs and buggies will not make it. We will definitely do this event next time we're in Hawaii. We did the hike up to the top, looked around for 15-20 minutes and hiked back down in 1 - 1/2 hours.
