My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the parasailing. It was a tremendously relaxing feeling for both of us. We took the 1000 ft. line and would do it again. Captain Duncan and crewman Kevin were both jovial and attentive to detail. Felt safe at all times.
I highly recommend buying the pictures.

There was a staff member who spoke Japanese, so I felt at ease. I spent an hour sitting on the net at the front, feeling the waves. Snacks and drinks were free, but I hardly had any. However, it was a lot of fun. Just be careful about getting sunburned!
日本語ができる方もスタッフにいたので安心していられました。
前方の網の上(うまく説明できませんが)に座って、波を感じながら1時間過ごしました。
スナックや飲みものはフリーでしたが、ほとんどいただきませんでした。
でもとっても楽しかったです。
ただ、日焼けだけは気を付けてくださいね

I went with high expectations, but if you are prone to seasickness, please be careful.
It's definitely better to take motion sickness medication.
The staff is accustomed to dealing with Japanese customers, so there are no issues.
I also noticed an interesting policy at the reception where customers who cause trouble pay an extra $10.
I thought it would be nice to experience it at least once, so I encourage everyone to give it a try.
期待をして、行きましたが船酔いをする人は気をつけてください。
必ず、酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいです。
スタッフは日本人の対応にも慣れていて問題ありません。
迷惑をかけた、客は10ドル多めに払うという面白い内容も受付でみうけました。

We went on our Honeymoon and this was one of the activities that we have done. If this is your first time surfing, don't fret. The staff are professional and they teach you all the basics. Opt for the private lessons because if you are tired from paddling, the instructor can help you back to the waves hence more opportunity for you to keep on practicing to get better. The photographer was great as well as he managed to capture some great photos and you can get them all in a disc which was nice. Highly recommended...

I was drawn in by the reasonable price and participated, and it was really great! The staff seemed to not understand Japanese, but they were very considerate, and I felt a bit sorry about that. I don't understand much English, but I managed somehow. I think there were five of us Japanese: a mother and daughter, and three young women. The registration was at the beach behind the hotel, and more people kept joining on the day.
You can wear anything, even swimsuits! It's better if your pants are short (above the knee). Even though I'm not good at socializing with everyone, I felt very happy just gazing at the sea and the sunset.
Thank you so much to the staff for being considerate to the Japanese mother and daughter. I would love to participate again next time.
リーズナブルなお値段にひかれ参加しましたが とてもよかったです! スタッフの方も日本語はわからないようでしたが とても気を使って下さり 申し訳ないほどです。英語はあまりわかりませんが何となく大丈夫でした。日本人は私たち親子(母娘)と3人の若い女性の5人だったと思います。ホテルの裏のビーチで受付をしていて当日参加でどんどん人が増えていきました。

I went on this tour with my friend, both of us have grown up around the water and have been snorkeling many times in Hawaii. On this tour, they take you to a snorkel spot called turtle canyon. However, turtle canyon is between 40 and 50 feet deep and your basically staring down at a reef that is so far down there are scuba divers below you AND it is not a secluded snorkeling spot but rather an open ocean spot far away from the shore of waikiki beach... like, past where the surfers are!
I found it to be a little scary and the "guide" kept swimming off leaving my friend and I to chase him and not guiding us at all. Once the word "sharks" was mentioned, i swam back to the boat (a 5minute swim back btw).
On another note, the sailing part was lovely and relaxing and we saw TONS OF DOLPHINS, the lunch was good as was the champagne and other drinks. The crew was great as well... except for the snorkel guide that kept leaving us to float alone in the middle of the ocean.

I live in Hawaii half the time.
My friend is coming to Hawaii and wants to try surfing, so I signed up for lessons. I can ride the waves, but I don't have the skill or stamina to teach, so I signed up for my friend's sake.
In reality, surfing has its own competition for waves (territory?), but here, you can take lessons at a long-established place with no complaints.
No matter which instructor you get, most people are able to stand up on the board, and if there are any who haven't yet, they focus on helping them, which I think is very considerate.
半分ハワイに在住してます。
お友達がハワイに来るのに際して、サーフィンをやりたいということで申し込みました。
自分は波乗りをするのですが教えるほどの技量や体力がないので友達の為に申し込みました。
実際にサーフィンは波取り合戦が(縄張り?)があるので、ここは老舗で文句なしの状態でレッスンを受けれます。
どの先生にあたっても、ほとんどの人が立てますし、まだ立ててない人がいると集中的に手伝ってくれたりと、かなり良心的だと思います。

My family of 5 had a blast parasailing. The staff were great and made the experience a lot of fun. The time in the boast went by so fast but when I was up in the air, the time seemed to stand still. The ride is very peaceful and the views are outstanding. I didn't even mind the dunk in the ocean on our way down to the boat.
The value of the activities was very high, especially considering the discounted price we received at Hawaii Activities.

My boyfriend and I went on the sunset cruise, and loved it. Thanks to the staff who were great and esspecially the bar man. We had read some reviews that some people felt because it was free drinks the bar man was a bit slow. Not at all the case. As soon as we put our empty shaker on our head he ran over and filled it up:)
Great cruise and we were treated to an awesome sunset. Thanks again guys we hope to do it again one day.
Also our cruise left at 5pm so a word of warning given that the drinks are free and the bar man so efficient (we were happy to tip for such a great service) do try to have an early dinner as we may have gotten a little carried away with drinking which is not a great idea on an empty tummy :)

Initially, it was explained that the tour, which usually takes two days, would be completed in one day, and I truly had a fulfilling day. Our guide, Kerina, was very entertaining, and we were able to learn about Hawaii's history and culture as well. I believe there are many Oahu tours available, but I highly recommend this one. Moreover, our driver, Minoru, who has lived in Hawaii for 28 years, was very kind and easy to communicate with, which made us feel at ease. For us, who are new to Hawaii, it became a wonderful memory. They even held a craft class during our lunch break and took us to Pearl Harbor, which was not originally planned, and I was very moved by that. I was surprised and touched to hear the story from the novel "Eternal Zero" presented as a true story. This tour of "Oahu" was so fulfilling that I think it would be worthwhile just to meet the guides. Thank you very much.
最初に本来なら2日で回るところを1日で回るプランと説明がありましたが、正に丸1日を充実して過ごせました。名物ガイドさんのケリナさんの話はとても面白く、そのうえでハワイの歴史や文化にも触れることができました。オアフ周遊ツアーはたくさんあると思いますが、お薦めはこのツアーだと思います。しかも今回のドライバーはミノルさんというハワイ在籍28年の日本人の方でとても優しく(言葉もよく通じるので)安心でき、ハワイ初心者の私達にとってとても良い思い出となりました。お二人で昼休みにクラフト教室を開催してくれたり、本来予定に無かったパールハーバーまで案内してくれ、とても感激しています。小説「永遠のゼロ」に出てくる話が実話として紹介されたのにもビックリするとともに感動もしています。ガイドさんに会いに行くことを目的にしても良いと思うくらい、充実した「オアフ周遊」のツアーでした。本当にありがとうございました。

I highly recommend the Golden Circle Premier seats. You don't need to arrive early at the meeting place, but if you go ahead of time when heading to the venue after gathering, you will definitely get good seats.
This time, I was able to fully enjoy the "Waikiki Starlight Show" from the very front row, close to the stage! While listening to live music, there was delicious food (a buffet full of Hawaiian dishes) and a welcome event (lei, photo opportunities, ring toss, tattoos, conch shell contest, hula lessons) before the show, and I was completely satisfied and full without getting bored at all.
ゴールデンサークルプレミア席がお薦めです。集合場所に早く行く必要はありませんが、集合後会場へ向かう際には案内について早めに行けば良い席が必ずとれます。
今回、ステージに近い一番前の席で「ワイキキ・スターライト・ショー」がバッチリ堪能できました!
生演奏を聞きながら、ショーの前に美味しい料理(ハワイらしい料理がいっぱいのバイキング)と歓迎イベント(レイ、写真撮影、輪投げ、タトゥ、ほら貝コンテスト、フラレッスン)があり、まったく飽きさえず腹いっぱいになって大満足でした。

It was my first time trying a catamaran. There are many types of catamarans, and we chose this one for our trip. Since we don't drink alcohol, we only had soft drinks, but the scenery was amazing, the atmosphere was great, and we had a wonderful time. There were very few Japanese people. You get quite wet, but that also became a fun memory.

The instructor taught us patiently in both Japanese and English at the office, and we practiced exactly as we were taught during the two sessions.

We took a boat from Waikiki out to sea and transferred to a submarine.
The sea around Waikiki had waves, and I got seasick on the boat to the submarine. If you are prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking medication in advance.
The underwater scenery is very beautiful, and it's recommended for those who can't swim (or dive). We were lucky enough to see sea turtles and sharks. It was great to see the clear, beautiful ocean.
When the submarine surfaced and submerged, it was really cool. A must-see!

I experienced parasailing.
I was anxious due to my fear of heights, but up in the sky, it was calm, and I was very satisfied with the magnificent view. Since transportation is included, it's reassuring even for beginners in Hawaii. The total time is about 2 hours, so it doesn't interfere with other plans. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to sign up for this tour and recommend it to my friends.
However, there is one point to note. That is seasickness. I am prone to seasickness, so the rocking of the boat while others were parasailing was tough. Motion sickness medication is a must.

高所恐怖症のため不安がありましたが、空の上は穏やかで、壮大な景色にとても満足しました。

ただ、一つだけ注意点があります。
それは、船酔いです。
元々船酔いするタイプでしたので、他の方がパラセーリングしている間の船の揺れは辛かったです。

I took a surfing lesson using an extra-large surfboard, and I was able to stand up on my first try as if it were the most natural thing. The slogan is "Even beginners can stand up," so maybe that's to be expected, but it felt a bit too easy from the start, which was a bit of a letdown.
The lesson was just a 5-minute walk from the shop, and the 2 hours flew by. However, since we were learning right above a coral reef, I was really focused on not falling. My husband ended up injuring his foot.
But I was happy that we were able to get some photos taken. I thought the $30 for the CD was a reasonable price.
