I went on a trip with my family to Hawaii for our wedding ceremony, and my sister insisted on doing parasailing as a memorable experience, so I decided to join. To be honest, I’m really not good with roller coasters and had no idea what to expect, so I was extremely nervous.
On the day of the event, I was anxiously waiting, but the pickup was delayed by about ten minutes, which made me uneasy.
We got on the boat and headed out to sea, wearing life jackets... and then it was our turn!!!
However, with every rise into the sky, my anxiety disappeared, and I felt an incredible sense of joy and excitement!
It was the best feeling. I chose the standard course, but I think I would have enjoyed going higher.
If my sister hadn’t invited me, I probably wouldn’t have had this experience in the future, so I’m really glad I did it.
I would definitely want to do it again if I have the chance.
ハワイに挙式を兼ねて家族と旅行にいくので、
思い出にと妹がどうしもしたいというパラセイリングを
しようと決意して参加しました。
実は、ジェットコースターが大の苦手でどんなものか
わからずものすごいドキドキしていました。
当日、ドキドキしながら待っていてもなかなか迎えが
こなくて不安でしたが10分くらい遅れて迎えにきて
くれました。
ボートで海に出てライフジャケットを着て・・
着た~あたしたちの番が~!!!
でも、不安が空に上がるたびに消え、
すご~い!めっちゃ楽しい!という気持ちに変わりました。
気分は最高でした。
スタンダードコースにしましたが、もっと高くでも
よかったと思いました。
妹に誘われなかったら、この先たぶん
することもなかった体験ができてすごくよかったです。
また機会があれば絶対にしたいです。

I participated with my parents in their 70s and my family, a total of six people. I was worried about my father, as he has weak legs, when boarding the submarine, but my husband supported him, and he was able to get on. We were also able to see a large sea turtle, and my 4-year-old son was very happy. The staff were very kind, and it became a wonderful memory.

I participated with my middle school daughter and our family of three. I was quite worried about our physical stamina, but once we decided to join, the instructions were very kind and easy to understand, which quickly dispelled my anxiety. It was definitely a plus that everything was conducted in Japanese. Our whole family was able to stand on the board, and we even had a video taken. It became a wonderful memory for our family.
中学生の娘と家族3人で参加しました。
体力的にも、だいぶ心配がありましたが、

やはり、日本語で出来たのが良かったです。

In the morning, I participated in a session with Japanese support. It seems that the waves were rough that day, and many people experienced seasickness on the boat ride to the submarine. However, once we submerged, the swaying eased, and I was able to observe the precious ecosystem off the coast of Waikiki, which was satisfying.
午前、日本語対応の回に参加しました。当日は波が荒かったようで、行きの船から潜水艦へ乗り込むまでに船酔いに遇われた方が多かったようです。それでも海中に潜れば揺れは和らぎ、ワイキキ沖の貴重な生態系を観察することができ、満足です。

A close friend and I decided that we would each pick an event while visiting Oahu for 5 days. She wanted to do something under the ocean, and I wanted to do something OVER the ocean. After our parasailing trip, we both were AMAZED at how much fun and relaxing it was.
The staff were extremely helpful and comforting when it came to loading/unloading passengers, and they asked everyone if they wanted a brief "dip" towards the end of the flight. (You never get fully submerged in the ocean with the 'dip' but just get a little wet from the waist down.. it is WORTH IT). Everyone on the boat had a blast and on our way back to shore it started pouring rain.. which I LOVED. It was the epitome of a Hawaiian vacation. 82 degree weather and pouring rain with a rainbow.
As for the flight itself, it was extremely relaxing and the views were spectacular. I wouldn't have originally thought that flying 42 stories high would be soothing, but it was. VERY romantic idea for couples.

Thank you so much for my surfing experience! Four days was definitely not enough for me and I miss it already. You all were so kind and helpful. This was, by far, the best surfing experience I've had in all my attempts to learn. Because of that, I'm planning on picking up some classes out here in California once the weather gets better. So hopefully by the time I return next year, I'll be on a much smaller board =). You guys are awesome!

My two hours with Mito were such a highlight of my time on Oahu I am telling lots of people who are going to the islands that this is a "must do" activity. We had so much fun together and I actually was able to stand, sort of. I have balance problems and thought this was something I would try and enjoy, no expectation of success. I am still not the best in the balance arena, but I did stand on two feet without hands--an accomplishment for me and a credit to Mito's skill as a teacher.

The dance was sexy, elegant, and cool, but I felt like the wait time before the show started was a bit long...
I wondered if it could be done with a shorter wait time.

My girlfriend and I truly enjoyed the actual activity even if it was shorter than adverstised. We booked the Deluxe Parasailing which is supposed to last from 8-10 minutes and it only lasted less than 6 minutes...That I can live with, what I truly find upseting is the fact that the tour guide decided to make several political comments about Arizona's illegal immigration laws, and the governement. Regardless of where you stand on certain political issues; individuals representing Xtreme Parasailing should keep in mind that they're providing a fun and hospitable environment for their customers, expressing your opinion on a hot button political issue can create disagreements and while debating is the foundation of democracy, parasailing is certainly the wrong place and the wrong time to do it. I can speak for about 3 additional individuals who shared similar comments once the ride was over.

I participated with a friend.
Besides us, there was one couple and a group of four, all of whom were foreigners.
At first, they explained everything in English really quickly, and I couldn't understand what they were saying, but when it was our turn, they explained it in broken Japanese, so it was fine.
Once we were up, all we could hear was the sound of the wind.
It felt incredible to be floating in the sky.
The view was amazing!!
I couldn't participate much in the conversation since I don't speak much English, but when my friend got seasick and I told the staff, everyone else was worried too.
One girl in the group of four was really scared and kept saying, "I don't want to do this!!!" until the last minute, but we all encouraged her, and in the end, it seemed like she had a lot of fun.
I saw in reviews that it was better to have photos taken ($15), so I requested it.
I'm really glad I did!☆

あまり英語が話せないので、会話にはちょっとしか参加できませんでしたが、

I had a great time learning how to stand up paddle surf. The instructors are really good at what they do, and they make sure that you are comfortable going out into the ocean. Stand up paddling is a really good workout, because you are paddling, as well as, keeping your balance. You are getting a workout, but you are having a lot of fun, which makes the time and exercise fly by.

The charm of this tour departing from Outrigger Reef on the Beach is that it starts from Waikiki Beach. The morning meeting time is early, but I think it's still manageable.
On the day of the tour, it was windy and the waves were high, but we were able to see various fish and even sea turtles while snorkeling. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any dolphins. Still, it was a relaxing and enjoyable tour.
Also, when we participated, there were zero Japanese people. It's a rare tour where you can truly feel like you're on an overseas trip. The explanations were in English and included some humor, which I couldn't fully understand, but the captain was kind enough to explain slowly using just a few words for us.
Since the tour ends in the morning, you can participate in other tours, go shopping, or relax on the beach in the afternoon, making it a meaningful way to spend the day.
It was a recommended tour for going with friends and having a great time together.
アウトリガー・リーフ・オン・ザ・ビーチより出るこのツアーの魅力はワイキキビーチから出発ということです。
朝の集合時間は早いですが、それでも楽だと思います。
当日は風が強くて波も高かったですが、シュノーケリングでは色んな魚、ウミガメにも会えました。
残念なのは、イルカに遭遇できなかったこと。
それでものんびり楽しめるツアーです。
また、私たちが参加した時は日本人ゼロ。
「海外旅行に来た」と味わえる珍しいツアーです。
説明なども英語で笑いを取っていたようですが、理解できなかったりもしましたが、キャプテンは私たちには単語のみでゆっくり説明してくれる親切な方でした。
午前中に終わるツアーなので、午後からは他のツアーに参加したり、ショッピングに行ったり、ビーチでのんびりしたりもできるので、1日を有意義に使えると思います。
友達みんなでワイワイ行くのにオススメのツアーでした。

It was a more enjoyable cruise than I imagined.
They offered special cocktails, beer, wine, champagne, and free drinks. (There were some foreigners who brought snacks, and it might be even more fun if there were some light snacks available.)
In April, the sunset is at 7 PM! I thought that meant we wouldn't be able to see the sunset at the scheduled time, but they adjusted the return time properly, allowing us to enjoy nearly two hours of cruising with a departure at 5:30 PM and return at 7:30 PM!
It sways more than expected, so if you are prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication.
There were only five of us Japanese on board, and all the safety instructions (like areas to avoid) were given in English, which I couldn't catch, so I thought it would be nice if they provided a paper in Japanese at the beginning.
There was a lot of lively music playing, and before I knew it, even my father started dancing!
For this price, the fun with free drinks is quite a good value! I highly recommend it!
想像以上に楽しいクルーズでした。
特製カクテル、ビール、ワイン、シャンパンと
フリードリンク。(おつまみ持参の外国人がいて、

思いきや、ちゃんと戻りの時間を調整してくれていて、
17:30出港、19:30戻りといった具合に
2時間近くクルージングを楽しめました!
思いのほか揺れるので、船酔いする方は、何か薬を飲んだ
方がいいかもしれません。

全て英語で、聞き取れなかったので、最初に日本語で

The kids loved it. The ride out was fun, we saw several sea turtles swimming alongside the boat. The staff were friendly and helpful. My wife was slightly disappointed that the shipwrecks were all planted by Atlantis, but there were many more varieties of sealife than I expected. Overall, we all enjoyed it. This was our most expensive activity, but I am glad that we included it. We were on the larger, newer sub and the viewing ports were better than anticipated. My kids, ages 6 to 16, all enjoyed it.

We gathered at 2:30 PM and departed at 3 PM! We were told to be punctual, but when I rushed in at 2:30, I got a Hawaiian response: "Oh, just sitting on the beach." It made me feel the pressure of time that Japanese people often experience.
We left a little after 3 PM and enjoyed about an hour of fun. At first, we started the engine to set sail, but once we were out at sea, we raised the sails and let the wind take us. The views of Hawaii were a different experience compared to the scenery seen from larger boats during whale watching. On the yacht, various cocktails and beers were available, and enjoying a drink while feeling the sun and wind was incredibly refreshing! We ventured further out than I expected and enjoyed a panoramic view of Honolulu. I definitely plan to participate again on my next visit to Hawaii.
Considering that the day after we boarded, the tsunami from the Chile earthquake prevented access to the sea, we were very lucky.
2時半集合、3時出発! 時間厳守! との事でしたが、2時半に走って行ってら「あ。ビーチで座っていて~」 っとハワイアンな答えが! ついつい時間に追われてしまっている日本人を感じてしまいました。
3時過ぎに出発し、約1時間程 楽しませてもらいました。
最初はエンジンをかけて出航していましたが、沖に出ると後は帆を張り風まかせ。 ホエールウォッチングなどの大きな船から見る景色とは、また一味違う ハワイの景色を楽しませてもらいました。 ヨット内では、数種類のカクテル、ビールが販売されていて、太陽&風 を感じながらのアルコールは格段に美味しい♪ 思ってたよりも沖に出てホノルルの景色を一望して楽しませてもらいました。 次回のハワイ訪問時にも 是非 参加させてもらう予定です。
私たちが乗船した翌日は、チリ地震の津波で海に近寄れなかったのを考えると、とっても運が良かったのかも。

This was a great time for us, BUT the rides are not even CLOSE to the times they advertise. I would not waste your money upgrading to any of the other rides. I timed all three of my wife's and kids rides and they were actually less than 5 minutes from the time they left the back deck til they touched down again. No where near the 10-12 minutes advertised for the Deluxe Ride. They probably did go a little higher than they 850 ride, but the duration was exactly the same.
The ride is great, the people were nice, but the trip is not as advertised.
