Overall it was a fun activity. Clean boat, good drinks, friendly staff, etc. However it was a bit presumptuous on their part to require your picture be taken for an upsell opportunity before you could board the boat. They had all the guests lined up for pictures like grade school photo day. Cheesy! Then of course after the cruise came the sales pitch the second you stepped back on shore. I was literally chased down the beach....LOL. Well it is the 21st century now, so many of us just used our smart phones instead at no additional cost. Other than this odd irritation I had an enjoyable cruise. Thank you.

The Rock-a-Hula Show was fun!! I thought it would just be an impersonation, but the quality was very high and I was satisfied. The food was described as delicious, so I had high expectations, but it felt like what you might find on a typical tour. It might be nice to have partitioned plates. The hula was just okay.
ロックアフラショーは、楽しかったです!!
ただのモノマネかと思っていましたが、とてもクオリティも高く満足でした。

What a fun, fast excursion located near Waikiki! We did the 9 AM tour in the morning and it was clear and sunny! The crew has the system down to get all parties in/out of the harness easily and having a great time. They even offered to take pictures and videos for $30 extra which we took advantage of. We had a great time parasailing, and was off to our next adventure!

My husband had a great time during the Fireworks cruise. Even though it felt like a lot of people were on board, everyone had a great vantage point for the fireworks show. Afterwards, we enjoyed boating, the views, and unlimited maitais (as well as other alcoholic drinks). The crew was friendly and check in on us, check in/check out was easy, but I would recommend bringing a light sweater because it does get chilly at night!

This is my third time in Hawaii, and I attended the show on the last night. This was my first time seeing the show, and the impersonator of Celine Dion had a wonderful singing voice. In particular, the segment about Elvis reminded me of watching the live broadcast in Honolulu on TV when I was in middle school, and it was very moving. This show is not just an impersonator show; it can be enjoyed as an entertainment show, and I believe it is worth attending at least once.

I participated to see the fireworks. The last time I joined, it was a daytime cruise, but this time it was my first night cruise. The atmosphere was completely different, and I really enjoyed it. The fireworks viewed from the boat were amazing, and I also enjoyed a delicious Mai Tai! It seemed like we took a route that we didn't go on during the daytime cruise, going all the way to Ala Moana and the harbor side, which allowed us to see a wonderful atmosphere that we usually don't get to experience.
花火を見るために参加しました。
以前参加した時は、昼間のクルーズだったのですが、今回は初めての夜のクルーズ。全く雰囲気も違うし、楽しめました。

We had our annual trip to Hawaii as a couple, and we spotted parasailing in the sky over Waikiki, so we quickly searched online. We were able to make a reservation for the next day, so we signed up right away. The on-site check-in was conducted in Japanese, but the boat crew spoke only English. However, they explained everything in a cheerful and easy-to-understand manner, so as long as you know some basic English words, it’s not a problem. The experience of flying itself is just so much fun!! The views are great, and the feeling of floating is perfect; there was nothing scary about it. If you have the time, I definitely recommend giving it a try. If there’s availability that day, it seems you can even go for another flight!
夫婦二人での恒例のハワイ旅行、ワイキキの空にパラセイリングが見えたので急遽NETで検索。翌日の予約を受けてもらえたので早速申込み。当日の現地受付は日本語でしてもらえましたが、船のクルーは英語オンリー。でも陽気に分かりやすく説明してもらえるので、簡単な英単語さえわかれば問題ありません。飛ぶ事自体はとにかく楽しい!!景色も良いし、浮遊感もばっちり、なにも怖いことはありませんでした。時間がある方はぜひ体験してください。
その日空いていれば、もう一本飛ぶ事もできるみたいですよ♪

It was our first time experiencing the glass bottom boat tour. Although it wasn't what I was expecting from the title of the tour, but it was fun. The boat consisted of boxes with glass bottom you can look down to see underneath the boat. During the shallow parts of the water, you can see fishes and of course it's not a guarantee on what or what not you would see. But, wish we would have seen more!
The captain and his partner were friendly and nice. We went during the first tour at 9am, so we basically had the entire boat to roam around with another family. They offer drinks (water, bud light, soda) and restroom on board, which was great!
We were also lucky with the day that we went. It was sunny but during some parts of the tour, the clouds covered the sun, so the breeze was nice. So all in all, it was a fun experience.

I had read various things about the pickup, so I went to the pickup location early, feeling a bit anxious. The bus arrived 10 minutes earlier than scheduled, so I spoke in broken English to mention that one of the members hadn't arrived yet, and they agreed to wait.
This was everyone's first experience with parasailing, and we unexpectedly challenged ourselves to 150 meters. I had thoroughly read the experiences beforehand and felt like I could manage it, but when it came time for the actual event, I felt a rush of nerves. After putting on the harness and holding the rope tightly, we were lifted into the air, gradually gaining altitude.
With the blue sea and the pleasant breeze, any fear I had seemed to disappear... It was a fun aerial stroll. I’m not sure how long we were up there, but it was a striking activity that provided a unique experience.
The boat ride was also quite fast and had a lot of up-and-down movement, so if you're prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication beforehand.
The staff also said in Japanese, "If you enjoyed it, please consider tipping," which made it easy to give a tip with confidence.
As for the photos, my family members took plenty, so I didn’t purchase any.
ピックアップのことがいろいろ書いてあったので、不安をかかえながら早めにピックアップ場所に行きました。予定より10分早くバスが来たので、まだメンバーのひとりが来ていないことをカタコトの英語で話し、待ってもらいました。
今回、皆初体験のパラセーリング。そしてまさかの150Mに挑戦。
事前に体験談を熟読し、何とかいけそうということで申し込んだものの、いざ本番になると緊張が走りました。ベルトをつけ、しっかりロープを持って、上空へヒューと次第に高度を上げていきます。
海の青さ、心地よい風にあおられながら、恐怖心も何処へやら・・・
楽しい空中散歩ができました。何分ぐらい上空にいたのかわかりませんが、異空間体験ができたインパクトの強いアクティビィティでした。
移動中のボートもスピード感があり上下動が激しいので、船酔いしやすい人は薬を飲んでいた方がいいかもしれません。
チップもスタッフの方が日本語で「楽しんでいただけたら、チップお願いします。」と言われたので安心して渡せました。

This glass bottom boat trip gives one a new view to look at while experiencing a cruise. Not only is the view amazing but you get to see a side of wild life you don't usually get to look at. We got to see a few different types of fish and a number of turtles.
Our captain and his partner were also hugely helpful. Answering all questions and giving us interesting information on the sea and boat life here in Waikiki. But do understand, you can't control wild life, so some days or seasons might be better to go than others. And while what wild life you see may depend on a number of different things, the view is always enjoyable and relaxing.

The wind and scenery on the boat ride were amazing. The captain's performance added great value to the experience. That day, there were only three groups including us, so it ended in just a little over an hour. I wish we could have stayed on longer! It was quite bumpy, so motion sickness medication is a must.
After reading reviews from everyone here, I thought I would challenge myself to the 120 meters since I’m relatively okay with heights, so I signed up. However, I personally dislike roller coasters and find them scary. On the day of the event, the strong winds due to the typhoon made it quite frightening.
At the 120-meter mark, it felt like I was on a trapeze in mid-air. Taking off and landing were exhilarating, so next time I’d like to try the 45 meters or 90 meters!
行き帰りの船の風と景色が最高です。船長のパホーマンスもあり、それだけで充分の価値があります。
その日は私達を合わせて3組だったので、1時間と少しで終わりました。もっと乗って居たかったな〜!かなり揺れるので、酔い止めは必須です。
ここの皆さんの口コミを読んで、せっかくなら120メートルに挑戦!と高所は割と平気だったので、申込みしました。ただ、ジェットコースターは怖くて嫌いな私。当日は台風の影響で強風のことも手伝い、かなり怖かったです。
120メートルの地点で空中ブランコをしている感じです。飛び立つ時と降りる時は快感だったので、次回は45メートルか90メートルで楽しみたいです!

On the last day before returning home, I participated at 10:30 AM, with plans to check out of the hotel at 10:00 AM and leave Waikiki before 3:00 PM for my 6:35 PM flight.
The pickup location at Sheraton Waikiki Hotel is in a different zone from the main drop-off area and bus landing area, so I was glad I asked the hotel staff for directions. They arrived before the scheduled time, and we departed on time.
I chose the 150-meter height. It was amazing! I would definitely want to try the 300-meter if it were available.
The motion sickness medication worked well, and the cruise was refreshing throughout, including the waiting time. I realized how important sun protection is; it might actually be more comfortable on cloudy days.
I’m not interested in commemorative photos, so I didn’t use the photography service. Instead, I took some pictures of the scenery with my waterproof smartphone in a waterproof film case with a neck strap.
Feeling good, I gave a $20 tip to the boat staff, and they were very happy. I also gave a $1 tip to the cheerful driver (it was the only small amount I had).
帰国する最終日。10時ホテルチェックアウト、18時35分フライトのために15時前にワイキキを去る、という予定の間の10時30分に参加しました。

I wanted to get a panoramic view of Waikiki Beach, so I joined this tour. My husband and I were the only Japanese people on board. The boat rocked quite a bit, and I felt seasick while waiting for our turn... Even during parasailing, it was still shaky, so I couldn't shake off the nausea, haha. The other guests were really excited at first, but their energy suddenly dropped halfway through, which was amusing, haha. We chose the 150-meter option. The view from above was absolutely amazing!! If you're visiting Hawaii for the first time, definitely give parasailing a try! It's better to take motion sickness medication, haha. Also, please be careful as the check-in area (it looks like a small hut) is a bit hard to find.
