My husband and I did this our first day and I was a little nervous about it, but once you get up in the air its so cool! I didn't know just how bad my husband was afraid of heights cause he got pretty scared, but you're attached to a parachute! I felt bad for dragging him up there with me, but I really loved it - a once in a lifetime thing, so why not do it while you're in Hawaii? I also read some other comments about how there was pressure to tip, but I didn't feel that way, yeah, there were 20's taped to the boat and they did ask that we "take care of them" but I thought it was only proper to tip so I gave them 10 bucks for the both of us. Don't let something like that ruin, or keep you from trying this. It was Awesome! FYI: bring a waterproof disposable camera up with you for some great shots!

The ship departed with nearly 30 passengers on board. The sunset, just before it disappeared, was truly beautiful. However, shortly after boarding, I found it difficult to hold in my need to use the restroom, which was quite challenging. I held on for a while but didn’t realize there was a portable toilet available. The foreign guests were drinking and having a great time, chatting a lot. I would like to learn from them.
約30?名ほどの満席に近い状態で、出港しました。
夕日が、落ちる間際が本当にきれいでした。が、乗った早々トイレを我慢出来なくなり大変でした。しばらく我慢をしていましたが・・・簡易トイレがあることが分からず・・・
外人さんは、飲んで騒いで・・・本当によく話をしていました。見習いたいです。

I have a very tense/ stressful job and she just helped me relax and worked on my knots - I needed her to break up those bundled nerves in order for me to feel relaxed and be able to enjoy the rest of my vacation. this was not a luxury for me but a NECESSITY! Thank you Riko you did an awesome job, and I would recommend you to all my acquaintances as well as schedule a future massage when ever i return.

It was my first time visiting Hawaii, and I took my family to the Royal Celebration. We had a great time as a family learning, and experiencing the Hawaiian culture. It was a very unique and quiet interesting. The food was beyond my expectations, so so delicious, and the outdoor venue is perfect to watch the Waikiki Sunset, view of Diamond Head, and to watch some waves coming in to shore. Beautiful pink hotel and we can't wait to do it again in our next visit to Hawaii. It was definitely a different and once in a lifetime experience. It is not your typical Luau, this is royalty style celebration, and we loved every minute of it.
Thank you for the great experience!

I have been on a catamaran several times and I really love it. This time, I had my father, who is over 60, ride it for the first time. Just before departure, thick clouds appeared, which was quite disappointing, but it seems that the charm of the catamaran cutting through the wind on the open sea was conveyed to my father. While the sunset time is nice, I personally recommend the daytime more. Under the sun, with a delicious drink in hand, relaxing to cheerful music and the rhythm of the waves... it's the best! The staff at the reception can speak Japanese.
カタマランは何度か乗ったことがあり、すごく気に入ってます。
今回は60過ぎの父にも初めて乗ってもらいました。
出発寸前に厚い雲が出てきてしまい、かなり残念でしたが、風を切って海原を走るカタマランの良さは、父にも伝わったようです。
サンセットの時間もいいですが、私としては昼間の方がお勧めです。
太陽の下、おいしいドリンク片手に陽気な音楽と波のリズムに身を任せてのんびり…最高!

It might be due to the timing, but unlike the options booked through the travel agency, there were no other Japanese participants, which made me really feel like I was abroad, and it was great! The parasailing experience was fun, and the instructors were interesting. I even got to see a shark, which is something you don't usually see. Although I was a bit nervous because communication in Japanese was limited and there was the shark, I was very satisfied with this valuable experience!
時期的な事もあるかもしれませんが、旅行会社で予約したオプションとは違い、他の参加者に日本人がいなかったので海外に来たっていう実感ができとてもよかったです!
体験したパラセイリングもインストラクターの方々も面白く、普段はあまり見られないという鮫も見れ、日本語があまり通じないってのと鮫には少しドキドキしたけど、貴重な体験ができとても満足でした♪

This time, my youngest child was just tall enough to meet the height requirement, so we were able to ride a submarine for the first time! We traveled by boat to board the submarine, and it was great to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. I was worried about getting seasick, but I managed to board the submarine without any issues. The underwater view was not as clear as I had expected, and as I had heard, the coral was in a dying state, which gave me a different impression of the underwater world than I had imagined. It was interesting to see planes and ships that had been intentionally sunk, and there were fish and sea turtles around them. It felt a bit like being in a modern-day Urashima Taro story!
今回、末っ子も身長制限をぎりぎりクリアできていたため、初の潜水艦に乗ることができました☆潜水艦に乗り込むところまで船で移動するのですが、海上からのワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを見ることができよかったです。心配していた船酔いもせず、潜水艦に乗りました。海の中は、思っていたよりもクリアではなく、珊瑚も死んでいる状態と聞いていたとおり、思っていた海の世界と違った印象を受けました。わざと沈めたという飛行機や船などがあり、そこに魚たちや海がめがいたのがおもしろかったです。ちょっとした浦島太郎気分でした♪

In Waikiki, various shows are held. The most representative one is the hula show, but I definitely wanted to experience the traditional Hawaiian luau show at least once! So, I participated. Basically, everything is explained in English during the show, but it's not a problem if you don't speak English. I think if you join with a positive mindset of "Let's have fun!", it will be even more enjoyable.
ワイキキではいろんなショーを開催しています。代表的なのはフラショーですが、やはりハワイ伝統のルアウショーを1度は体験してみたい!ということで参加しました。基本的にすべて英語で説明されショーは続きますが、英語がダメな人でも問題ありません。『楽しもう!』とポジティブな気持ちで参加されると、より楽しくなると思います。

This summer, I participated with my family. It was our third time on a catamaran, but our first time riding one in Waikiki. The price is quite reasonable, and you can truly enjoy the essence of an overseas resort, so I definitely recommend joining. On a catamaran, you can experience a refreshing feeling that you can't get on larger ships, and since there are relatively few Japanese people on the tour, I think you'll really feel like you're abroad!
今年の夏に家族で参加。カタマランは今回で3回目でしたがワイキキで乗るのは初めてでした。値段的にも安く海外リゾートの醍醐味を味わえるので是非参加をお勧めします。カタマランは大型船では味わえない爽快感を味わうことができますし、比較的日本人がいないツアーなので海外に来たことを実感できるとおもいますよ!

Two foreign staff members assisted us, one as the driver and the other explaining the parasailing and helping us put on life jackets.
They provided explanations in both English and Japanese, so it was fine even if you didn't understand English.
While the foreigners flew one by one, I requested to go up together with another person.
At first, the boat sped off quickly, which was overwhelming, but once we were flying, it wasn't scary at all!
In fact, the wind was refreshing and the view was great☆
At the end, they playfully dropped us into the sea, but if you say "NO," they won't let you fall. Haha!
The flying experience went by in a flash!!
It was $15, and they also took photos. Since it was on film, we couldn't check them on the spot, but they had a telephoto lens, so they took pictures even after we were flying. I’m looking forward to the 24 shots we took.
Tips are requested separately. It might be a good idea to bring a little cash for tips for the camera.
担当してくれたのは外国人の方が二人で、運転手とパラセイリングの説明やライフジャケットを着せてくれて、上にあげてくれる人。
説明は英語と日本語でそれぞれしてくれたので、英語がわからなくても大丈夫でした。
外国人は一人ずつ飛んでいたましたが、私は二人でお願いして一緒に上げてもらいました。
最初はボートが勢いよく進んでいくので圧倒されたけど、飛んでしまえばぜんぜん怖くなかったです!
むしろ、風が吹いてで景色も良かったのでさわやかでした☆
最後に愛嬌でぼちゃんと海に落とされるのですが、ちゃんとNOといえば落とさないでくれます。笑
あっという間のフライングでした!!
15ドルでしたから写真も撮ってくれます。
フィルムなのでその場で確認することは出来ませんが、望遠レンズ付なので飛んでからも写真を撮っていました。24枚取りで出来上がりが楽しみです。
チップは別に要求されます。
カメラをチップで少しお金を持っていくといいかもしれません。

I saw in other people's posts that they had their event on the rooftop, but during our time, we had it in a spacious courtyard, which felt very open and was great. You can also see the ocean.
The show featured various dances, had a good rhythm, and was enjoyable. The host spoke in English, and there were moments when some audience members participated. (The foreign guests were very lively and engaged.)
The fire dance was amazing!
At the end, there were several dancers at the exit, and we were able to take photos with them.

My friend and I went to this Luau at the Hilton. Wwhen I heard where it was I thought it was strange to be on top of the roof of a building but you really have nice view of the Lagoon and the Ocean. I like that the tables are a U shape around the stage because everyone had a great view of the dancers! They even had me up on stage to try and blow the Conch Shell, it was hard but I did it! The food was really good, I went back for seconds of the Poke and Pork. The dancers were really talented and the fire twirling guys at the end were awesome.

I participated in the 9 o'clock session with a friend. It was quite empty, so we were able to sit comfortably inside the submarine. We saw sea turtles multiple times, and it was interesting to experience the blue world. The diving time was longer than I expected, lasting about an hour. However, the noise from the motor at the back of the submarine was terrible, and I could hardly hear the explanations, which was disappointing. I recommend sitting at the front in the direction of travel.

I had my first experience at the age of sixty. I was a bit anxious before getting on the boat, but once we started, I forgot all about it. This time, I participated with my wife. Since we were in Waikiki, we had a great view of Diamond Head and the city of Honolulu. The instructions were in English, but they also spoke a little Japanese, which made me feel at ease. The blue of the ocean and the blue of the sky were amazing, and without the sound of the wind, I truly felt like a bird. I would love to experience this again if I have the chance.
Lastly, I was a bit flustered when a foreigner prepared a tip, but I think it would be good if that was clearly stated. I went this time for my son's wedding, and I was able to have a wonderful experience.
初めての体験を、還暦にしました。ボートに乗る前はやや不安でしたが、スタートしたら忘れてしまいました。今回はワイフと参加しました。ワイキキですので、ダイアモンドヘッドやホノルルの町が一望。説明は英語でしたが、片言の日本語でも話してくれたので安心でした。海の青さと空の青さが素晴らしく、風の音も無く本当に鳥に成った気分でした。機会が有れば何度でも体験してみたいです。

We participated as a couple.
We went to the meeting place near the boarding area, but there were no landmarks, and we felt a bit anxious while waiting. …Then, as mentioned in previous posts, the staff were the guys sitting under the umbrella right behind the boarding area. (I think it's quite hard to find.)
On the day of the event, the weather was nice, and once we set off, the wind felt refreshing! Since you do get splashed with quite a bit of water, I recommend wearing something that you don't mind getting wet. Your belongings can be stored inside the catamaran, so it's safe to bring them along. The view of Waikiki from out at sea was absolutely wonderful. We even saw a beautiful rainbow, which made us very satisfied. It's a pity we didn't get to see any dolphins.
It was quite bumpy, but it was thrilling, and I enjoyed it without feeling seasick!☆

We participated as a group of three women. One of us was a complete beginner, while the other two had only tried it a few times. However, it was our first time surfing in Hawaii... The price was affordable, we wanted to learn from locals, and transportation was included!
While the instructions were in English, I think it would be fine even for those who don't understand English. (There were also people who could speak Japanese.)
In any case, I highly recommend it! The instructors are kind and will definitely help beginners stand up on the board. However, if you prefer a slower pace and more thorough instruction, it might be better to avoid group sessions.

As you approach the lawn and with your first drink you are invited to spooned portions of fresh Ahi Poke, Kalua Pig, Lomi Salmon, and Poi. Story-teller Joe starts by introducing himself and went directly into explaining what ingredients each spoon held and how it applied to Hawaiian post-western contact life. At the same time others from the hula halau demonstrated how kapa was made, inks were produced and designs printed. Ropes were intertwined by hand and foot and other chores were explained by docent-like-ladies-in-waiting.

It's a waste not to go surfing when you're in Hawaii! I decided to give it a try. As a result, even as a beginner, I was able to stand up on my first wave. The staff takes great care to ensure that everyone can stand up and ride the waves.
However, I noticed that two young Japanese girls were being hit on by the staff. I recommend this experience for those who don't mind that sort of thing and can enjoy it as part of the fun. If you participate as a couple, you probably won't have to worry about such things.
It seems that the staff can speak basic Japanese. Even those who are worried about their English can enjoy themselves without any concerns. The price is likely high because it's aimed at Japanese tourists. Well, you can enjoy it at a reasonable price for what you get.
せっかくハワイに行くのにサーフィンをしないなんて勿体ない!と思って利用しました。結果、初心者でも初めての波で立てました。必ず立って波に乗れるように、スタッフが至れり尽くせりの世話をしてくれます。
が、若い日本人の女の子(2人連れでした)はスタッフにナンパされていました。そういうことを気にしない人、それも含めて楽しめる人に勧めです。カップルで参加すれば、そういった心配もないでしょう。
スタッフは簡単な日本語ならみんなできるようです。英語が心配な人でも安心してたのしめます。値段が高いのは日本人向けだからでしょう。まあ、お値段なりに、お手軽に楽しめます。
