Hawaii
The sunset viewed from the sea was beautiful and moving. There was only one other couple besides our family, and everyone spoke English, but we had no trouble enjoying the cruise while sipping Mai Tais and soft drinks. As time went on, the Mai Tais kept flowing, and the atmosphere on the boat became very lively. In the second half, we split into groups on the right and left sides of the boat, and began a loud call-and-response of "Ho~♪ Fu~♪," creating quite a commotion.
It became a very memorable sunset cruise as we felt a sense of unity with the people we happened to be with.
When boarding and disembarking, the waves can come up to knee height, so it's best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting wet. Also, once you head out to sea, the wind can be strong, so having an extra layer to wear would be a good idea.
海から観るサンセットは美しく感動ものでした。日本人は私たち家族とカップルが一組のみ。英語オンリーでしたが、問題なくマイタイやソフトドリンクを飲みながらクルーズを楽しむことができました。
時間が経つにつれマイタイも進み、船内は非常に盛り上がり、後半は、船の右と左のグループに分かれて、「ホウ~♪フウ~♪」と大声の掛け合いが始まり大騒ぎ^^
たまたま乗り合わせた人たちと一体感を持てて、とても思い出深いサンセットクルーズになりました。
乗船と下船の際には、波がひざ上くらいに来ることがありますので、濡れても良い服装がいいです。また、沖へ出ると風が強いので、一枚羽織るものがあると良いと思います。
It felt amazing to be flying in the sky; it was the best. When I go to Hawaii, there are often a lot of Japanese people around, but on this tour, there were none at all, which really made me feel like I was abroad (laughs). The traditional splash in the sea when we landed was also a lot of fun!
空を飛んでる時はとても気持ちよく、最高でした。
ハワイに行くと、まわりが日本人でいっぱいだったりしますが、今回のツアーは周りに日本人が全くいなく、海外に来てるなぁーって思える感じでした(笑)
降ろされる時恒例の海ぽちゃもすごく楽しかったです!
We had a lovely time on the cruise, staff was nice, and drinks were tasty
We went to Hawaii as a family.
I've been to Hawaii several times, but it was my first time on a submarine. I imagined I would see beautiful coral reefs and colorful fish, and I thought I would see sea turtles as well, but in reality, there were mostly monochrome views. We did see a sea turtle, but only for a short time. I believe the natural world changes from day to day. However, the scenery from the boat and submarine was incredibly beautiful, and we were able to take great photos, which made the kids very happy.
家族でハワイに行きました。
ハワイは何度か行きましたが潜水艦は初めてで、想像していた綺麗な珊瑚礁や色とりどりの
魚が見れたり、ウミガメが見れるものだと思ってましたが、実際はモノクロが多かった。
ウミガメも見れましたが、少しの時間だけでした。
自然の世界だから日によって変わるとは思います。
ただ、船や潜水艦の上から見る景色は大変に綺麗で良い写真が撮れ、子供も喜んでました。
Food wasn't that great and wished it was on a beach, but the dancers were outstanding!
Mahalo Maureen for your great compliments! I'll make sure to share them with the dancers. As far as the food goes, we will look to better it's quality for our valued guests.
Mahalo!
Friendly crew, fireworks were great. If you buy the cup you get a discount rate for rinks for future use
There were no Japanese people in our group, just us. We could only speak a little English, so I was initially anxious, but once we actually did it, it was so much fun and absolutely amazing!!! We got to see views that are hard to see from above the ocean, and we really enjoyed it♡ Before going up, I made eye contact with one of the crew members, and when I thought they smiled at me... at the end when we returned to the boat, we were splashed multiple times in the ocean, unlike the others who only got a little splash! My friend and I were like, "Wait, why just us?!" and we burst out laughing! Now it has become a really good memory (*´-`). However, since we were students, we didn't hire a photographer to save money. That's the only thing I regret. After coming back, I found myself in a situation where I had no parasailing photos (;-;). I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii! And this time, I won't forget to hire a photographer...♡
一緒のグループには日本人は0。私たちだけ。英語も少し話せるくらい。と最初は不安でしたが、実際にやってみると、とっても楽しく最高でした!!!海の上からなかなか見ることのできない景色をみれ、とっても楽しめました♡上にあがる前にクルーの人と目が合い、にこっとされたと思ったら…船に戻るラスト、私たちの時だけ思いっきり、ばしゃん!と海に何回もつけられました…(笑)他の人達は1回ちょこんと水につけられるくらいだけだったので、そのつもりでいたところに突然!友達とえええ!!私たちだけなんで?(笑)となり爆笑でした!今ではとてもいい思い出になっています(*´-`)ただ、学生のためお金節約して撮影を頼みませんでした。そこだけ後悔してます。帰ってきてからパラセイルの写真がない(;-;)という状態になりました…。次回ハワイに行くときも是非参加したいです!その時には撮影も忘れずに…♡
Great experience and photo service. Very happy with Hawaiian Parasail!!!
Very nice experience! I was going with my 8yd son. Very impressive!

We participated as a family of four. It wasn't too hot or too cold, and there was a slight breeze, so the weather was perfect. Even though there was an all-you-can-drink option, I found that two sweet cocktails were more than enough. It was my first time seeing Waikiki from the ocean, and I thought it was great. On the boat, the American ladies were lively and it was entertaining.
家族4人で参加。暑くもなく、寒気もなく、風も少しあり天気は最高でした。
お酒飲み放題といっても、甘ったるいカクテルで2杯も飲めばもう十分です。
海の方からワイキキを見るのは初めてでしたので、良かったと思います。
船の上は米人の小母さん達が盛り上がって面白かったです。
The submarine ride was my first experience ever... The deep sea off the coast of Hawaii was truly mysterious. There were moments where the scenery was quite repetitive, so children might get a bit bored. We spotted a few sea turtles near a sunken ship. Personally, I wanted to experience some thrill, so I was hoping to see sharks, but they didn't appear... That was the only disappointment.
生まれて初めて乗った潜水艦・・・
ハワイ沖の深海はとっても神秘的でした。
けっこう同じ景色が続く場面もありましたのでお子様は少し飽きてしまうかも。沈没船?の付近でウミガメを数匹発見。個人的にはスリルを味わいたかったのでサメも見たかったのですが現れず・・それだけが残念でした。
I participated with my 11-year-old daughter.
It was the first time I saw a submarine surfacing!!
From inside, I felt there were few fish, but we encountered a sea turtle.
We also saw two rays swimming together.
The crew said this was very rare.
11歳の娘と一緒に参加しました。
潜水艦が浮上してくるのを初めて見ました!!
中から見た感想は魚は少なく感じましたが、ウミガメさんに出会えました。
2匹一緒に泳いでいるエイにも出会えました。
これはとても珍しいとクルーの方が言っていました。
Such an amazing experience! We took our 9 and 14 year olds for the first time and they left with such a smile! They loved it! Our crew was fun and knowledgeable!
Staff was very friendly and helpful. When we got to the location, was expecting a little more based on what I read on the site. While we did see a couple turtles, they were few and far between. Also not a lot of fish. There were scuba divers in the same spot which made it tricky.
Afterwards, they took us out for about 30 minutes which was great.
I know the snorkeling is sparse on Waikiki so everyone is going to the same spots. Something I wasn't used to.
Tip
Fins are a must. They don't provide them.
This is a very well run tour with good boats and high tech submarine experience. Thoroughly recommend it.
I really enjoyed this afternoon out on the water off Honolulu. The crew are really friendly and the boat is well set out. Everything was easy and had a great time.
We participated as a couple.
There were two other Japanese couples and one Chinese couple besides us.
The staff were locals, but they explained things in English and broken Japanese.
The weather was great that day, and the view of Waikiki was really nice!
It was 110 meters high, but I thought it could have been even higher.
Also, we were lucky enough to see whales, which was moving!
While waiting for the other participants, the boat was rocking quite a bit, so I think it would be better for those who get seasick to take motion sickness medication before joining!
カップルで参加しました。
私達以外は日本人が2組と中国人が1組でした。
スタッフは現地の方ですが、英語とカタコトの日本語でも説明してくれました。
当日は天気も良くワイキキが見渡せて本当に気持ちが良かったです!
110メートルでしたが、私はもっと高くてもいいかなーと思いました。
また、運良くクジラも見ることが出来て感動しまし
た!
他の参加者を待っている間、結構船が揺れていたので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んでから参加された方がいいかと思います!
On the first day in Hawaii, I participated with my boyfriend. The driver, Yano, who was a local, was very cheerful and friendly, which helped ease my nerves and made it possible for me to go parasailing. We set off with a group of three Japanese female university students, and the guide was also kind.
I heard that for an additional $30, they would take photos with a DSLR, but I thought that was too much, so we decided to take pictures of each other with our smartphones and exchange them. The photos turned out to be quite beautiful.
I challenged myself to parasail at 150 meters, but I didn't feel scared at all. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki was fantastic, and I had a great time. I wore a swimsuit, and there was a fun service where you could splash into the water up to your thighs when coming down, which made me very satisfied. I recommend that those participating during the day take precautions against sunburn and wear sunglasses.
彼氏と2人でハワイ初日に参加しました。
送迎の運転手のヤノさん(現地の方)がとても陽気かつ気さくに話しかけてくれて、
緊張もほぐれてパラセイリングができました。
日本人の女子大生3人組と一緒に出発し、ガイドの方も親切でした。
写真は30ドル追加すると、一眼レフで撮ってくれるそうですが、もったいないので、女子大生とお互いの写真を撮って交換することに。
スマホで撮影したのですが、十分綺麗でした。
150mのパラセイリングに挑戦したのですが、高すぎて怖いという感覚はありませんでした。
ダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキを一望でき、大変楽しかったです。
水着を着用していきましたが、降りてくるときに太ももくらいまで海ポチャというサービスもあり、大満足です。
日中参加される方は、日焼け対策とサングラスの着用をお勧めします。
It's awesome!!!!! And very nice. It's my first time get on board, and I will never forget this experience in my life. Thank to staff on board!!!
had the BEST time, we went on for a friend's 21st and they made us feel really special. great music, absolutely stunning sunset, yummy drinks, well priced overall and the staff were really nice and interactive. thanks for having us and humouring us even when we were really annoying and loud. MAHALO YALL
I was in Hawaii for business but had a free morning. So I booked this trip as a solo traveler. I think I was the only solo person, everyone else were families. I felt a little odd b/c no one really talked to me, guides included. The guides were very good though - responsible and good intro speech. So happy that one of them found an octopus to touch (though I felt bad for the octopus). The turtles were adorable and came up to breathe very close to us snorkelers. Then we sailed around the bay for a bit which was lovely. I'm very happy I fit this excursion into my business trip.
I was a little unclear on tipping also - the fee said all gratuities included, so I didn't bring any cash. But the guides said to please feed the tip jar if satisfied. Which I was, but I hadn't planned on bringing cash to tip. So that was a little uncomfortable as I didn't want to look like I didn't enjoy myself - I truly did!
Went to my first luau and I have to say, it was a good experience. The staff are as friendly as can be and the performances were amazing. They are very much involved with the crowd making it a special experience and I would definitely recommend this to anyone. Food Buffett was also good, and my friends and I were approached with beautiful lays at the entrance and the best part was we all got 2 drink tickets with the packages we purchased online.
I never knew that parasailing is such a peaceful activity. Before you know it you are hundreds of feet up in the air and nothing but the big blue Pacific Ocean underneath.
If you look at it from land it looks like it as though it is going at a fast speed but once you are up there, it's so calm that it takes you to a different world. The kids were so excited that they wanted to go back up but we will save that for next time.
The crew took this great picture of us that looks like we are on top of the Diamond Head! Thank you Hawaiian Parasail for this once in a lifetime adventure!!!
We were looking for something the kids can do in Waikiki and found this fishing activity online. It is conveiniently
located right at the entrance of the Ala Wai Harbor and three hours out in the ocean was just enough for the kids to try their first
fishing experience-not too short and not too long. The crew member was friendly in assisting us when our rod got stuck and he said that its all about making the squid bait look delicious but
no luck! The person behind us was lucky and caught three fishes but because they were small they got released back into the ocean.
The big green sea turtle and the dolphin pod we saw on our way back to the harbor lifted our spirits at the end of the trip. We will definitely try again!
A few weeks ago, I heard from an acquaintance that it was great, so I decided to join.
I was worried about seasickness, but it was no problem at all. Enjoying drinks while watching the sunset over the ocean was truly moving!
Just a few days ago, I enjoyed dinner while watching the sunset from Waikiki Beach, but being able to enjoy the sunset from both the sea and the land, Hawaii is truly the best!
数週間前に知り合いが行って良かったと聞いたので参加しました。
船酔いが心配だったけれど全然問題なく、お酒を楽しみながら海からのサンセットは感動でした!
ちょうど数日前にワイキキビーチからサンセットを見ながらディナーを楽しみましたが、海からも陸からもサンセットを楽しめて、やっぱりハワイは最高です!
I attended this luau with a friend that actually knew a lot of the workers. The food was so delicious and the greeters were so friendly! As for the show, Tihati really put on a great show! Great experience, I highly recommend this luau. The manager is also friendly and he walks around greeting everyone, I thought was really nice.
This tour was just above and beyond! Im not a beach person nor do I like swimming but this turtle snorkel just made me fall in love with the ocean. The captain and crew were great! They knew exactly how to keep everyone happy and safe! I see so many turtle, fishes and and octopus that the crew actually snatched and had us hold. I love this snorkel and will definitely be going back!
While 1000 ft high up in the air, I felt so at peace with the world and myself. There was no noise at all! I loved this para-sail and would highly recommend it. The captain and crew really take care of you!
Had a great time on this cruise, meet really cool people, would recommend doing this at beginning of trip so you get the opportunity to hang out with new friends. Drinks were always full :)
Would definitely go again.
