The crew on the boat are total pro's. Extremely safe and a lot of fun! Did the 800 foot line ride, will definitely be doing it again next visit. Lots of great pics taken by the crew, cost under $30 for SD card. The boat ride was awesome too! Thank you!!!

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales. While it's part of the luck of the draw, I wished there had been more entertaining activities to enjoy.

We used it with our family, including a first grader and older children, in late December.
It was around the time when whale watching starts, and we considered a boat cruise, but thought it might be boring if we didn't see any whales, so we opted for a yacht, which turned out to be a good choice. It didn't sway much, and instead, it was refreshing to feel the thrill of the waves. However, my younger child seemed a bit scared at first from the rocking, so while it wasn't dangerous, it might have been a bit too early for them.
The cruise lasted an hour and a half, going around the other side of Diamond Head. On the way there, we felt excited, and on the way back, we were a bit more calm. Opinions might differ on whether it was worth the price, but I felt like I experienced Hawaii, and I was happy with it. As many have mentioned, I had been interested in beach yachts for a while, and even though the programs are different, it would cost two to three times more in Japan's Shonan.
By the way, it was fully booked with about 40 people, but our family was the only Japanese. I didn't understand much English, but since it was just about feeling the waves and the wind, language didn't really matter.
小1と高学年の子供と家族で、12月下旬に利用。
クジラが始まる頃で、船クルーズも考えたけど、見えなかったらツマラナイと思い、ヨットにしたけど良かったです。
そんなに揺れないし、むしろ波を感じる疾走感で爽快だったけど、下の子が、最初は波に揺られているのが怖い様子だったので、危険はないけど、ちょっと早かったかな。
ダイアモンドヘッドの向こう側まで回り込む一時間半のクルーズ。行きは気分が高揚、帰りは少し冷静にという感じなので、高い・安いは、ギリギリ意見が別れるかも知れないけど、ハワイ体験した気分になり、僕は良かったです。
みんなが書いている通り、前々からビーチのヨットが気になっていたし、日本の湘南だとプログラムは違えど、2~3倍はかかるし。
なお、約40人の満員でしたが、日本人は我が家族のみ。英語は余り分からなかったけど、波を感じ風を感じるだけなので、言葉は関係ないですもんね。

The weather was perfect, making it an ideal day for parasailing. As soon as we set out, the instructions were in English, but there was also a proper Japanese manual available. Since photography was not allowed on the boat, I requested some photos. (I would have appreciated prior information about the use of waterproof cameras and that participants would not be able to take photos simultaneously.)
After waiting in line, it was finally our turn! The view was, of course, amazing and a lot of fun! Those with a fear of heights might find it challenging! While I was distracted by the scenery, there was a signal from the boat via the rope that indicated it was time to take photos. The fee was $30, which I thought was reasonable.
The actual time spent up in the air was just under 5 minutes, but the satisfaction exceeded that. The local staff had some funny moments, creating a friendly atmosphere, so the waiting time was not a burden. I thought about wanting to challenge myself to go even higher next time!
I was very satisfied with the monitor tour and shared the photos and fun stories with my family. If you go to Hawaii, it's definitely worth experiencing at least once!!!
お天気にも恵まれ、最高のパラセイリング日和でした。 沖に出るなり、英語での説明でしたが、きちんと日本語の説明書もありました。船内では写真撮影ができないため、写真を希望しました。(事前に防水カメラの使用可、参加者が同時に体験することで写真撮影不可などの説明がほしかった)
順番待ちをして、いざ出番!眺めはもちろん、かなり楽しいです!高所恐怖症の方は厳しいかもしれませんね! 途中眺めに気をとられていると、船からロープを伝って合図があり、写真を撮るよ!との合図あり。料金は、$30ですが、高くはないかなーと思います。
実際に上がっている時間は5分ないくらいですが、それ以上に満足感があります。 現地スタッフの方も笑わせてくれるポイントがあるので、和気あいあいとしており待っている時間も苦ではないです。 次回はさらに高く挑戦したいと思いました!
モニターツアーに大満足し、家族へ写真と楽しい話で盛り上がりました。
是非、Hawaiiへ行ったら1度は体験する価値ありますよ!!!

I wanted to fly over the crystal-clear blue ocean in Hawaii, so I decided to participate in parasailing this time. The driver for the pickup only spoke English, but they provided us with consent forms in Japanese, so there were no issues at all. The meeting place was easy to find, making it very convenient. We picked up other participants and it was about a 10-minute drive from the city center. We waited for the previous group to return by boat, and finally, it was our turn. Each boat holds about 10 people, and we were the only Japanese participants. (By the way, everyone else was a couple. Haha.) The handsome guys on the boat occasionally spoke a few words in Japanese. There were instructions available in both English and Japanese. Most participants were in just their swimsuits, but if you don't want to get wet, you can let them know, and they will avoid the performance where you get into the water, so some people wore T-shirts. The boat itself rocked more than I had imagined. If you are prone to seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication before participating. For parasailing, you wear a life jacket in turn. When you’re not up in the air, you basically just enjoy the view of the ocean. The moment you take off is very exciting and fun! The time spent up in the air isn’t very long, but since you’re just flying, I think that duration is just right. When landing, they performed a little splash landing, which was also enjoyable. While you’re up there, it can feel a bit boring, but the view is amazing! Also, as it says on the boat, tips are not included.
ハワイの透き通るような青い海の上を飛んでみたい!ということで今回パラセイリングの参加をきめました。送迎のドライバーさんは英語のみですが、同意書なども日本語の用紙を渡されるので特に問題ありません。集合場所もわかりやすくとても楽でした。車でほかの参加者の方をピックアップして街の中心から10分ほどのところでした。前の回の方が船で帰ってくるのを待ち、いよいよ私たちの番。一つの船は大体10名くらいで、日本人は私たちだけでした。(ちなみに私たち以外みんなカップルでした。笑)船のイケメンお兄さんたちは日本語の単語をたまに話してくれます。説明書も英語と日本語の2通りがありました。ほとんどの参加者の方は水着だけの状態になって参加していましたが、濡れたくない場合は言えば海につかるパフォーマンスは避けてくれるそうで、Tシャツを着たままの方もいました。船自体は、想像していたよりも揺れました。酔いやすい方は、酔い止めを飲んでからの参加をおすすめします。パラセイリングは、順番にライフジャケットを着用して行います。自分がやっているとき以外は基本海を眺めてるのみです。飛ぶ瞬間はとてもワクワクで楽しいです!上に上がっている時間自体はそんなに長くないですが、特に飛んでいるだけなのでそれくらいでちょうどよいのかなと思います。降りるときに、お尻あたりが着水するパフォーマンスをしてくれてそれも楽しかったです。上にいる間は少し退屈感もありますが、眺めは最高です!あと、船にも書いてありますがチップは別だそうです。

I was really anxious about whether I could do it since I have a fear of heights, but I signed up at my husband's request. In our group, there was another Japanese couple and three groups of foreigners. The guide didn't understand Japanese, but I think I was able to understand the explanations through gestures and such.
As for the paragliding, I was scared when we were leaving the boat and going up into the air, but once I was floating in the sky, I was able to enjoy the scenery! I also signed up for photos, and even though it was expensive, I think it's definitely worth it!!!

I participated with my 8-year-old son.
The cool pickup trolley arrived 10 minutes late (which was expected). At this point, my son was getting excited. We had quite a thrilling drive and arrived at Kewalo Bay.
The boarding process for the boat was smooth, and we started with five groups on board. The two instructors provided precise guidance in broken Japanese, and reading the written instructions eased any anxiety.
We wore life jackets and took turns jumping in, while the instructor informed us about the sale of a photo CD for $30. However, since we didn't know what was included, we weren't sure if it was expensive or cheap. We flew with our smartphones in waterproof cases.
Our turn was last, and while watching the others, I was thinking of requesting a dry landing, but we ended up getting splashed in the sea. That said, it was just enough to soak our backsides, which felt oddly pleasant. The weather was clear, and with calm winds, the flight was very comfortable. My 8-year-old son seemed to thoroughly enjoy being above the blue sea and sky. He even waved to everyone on the boat and was smiling the whole time, saying he wanted to do it again as soon as we landed.
When I asked the instructor, he mentioned that each group would fly for 700 feet, but it felt like it was over in no time. On the way back, there was a bit of a delay with other groups, but I chatted with a mom who was there with her daughter in the same grade, so I didn't mind.
The price was cheaper compared to others, and the tour was well-organized, so we were satisfied and created great memories.
Lastly, I have one thing to say to the organizers. The rough driving of the driver on the way to Kewalo Bay was the only and biggest downside. Perhaps due to the delay in pickup, the driver was organizing the participant list while driving and tended to cross lanes. We were made to sign a waiver regarding fatal accidents in the car, but what exactly does that cover? Accidents due to clear negligence on the driver's part are unacceptable.
Since you are carrying customers, I hope you will maintain a focus on safe driving.
8歳の息子と参加しました。
カッコいいピックアップトロリーは10分遅れで到着。(想定内)
この時点で息子はテンションアップ。なかなかスリリングなドライブでケワロ湾へ到着。
到着からボートに乗り込む際もスムーズで5組でボートに乗りスタート。
2人のインストラクターは片言の日本語ながら的確な案内、さらに注意事項など書かれた物を読んだりすることで不安もありませんでした。
ライフジャケットを着用し1組ずつ飛ぶのですがインストラクターの方が写真のCDRの販売の案内をしてくれます。30ドルですが内容が分からないので高いのか安いのか??
私達は防水ケースにスマホを入れてフライトしました。
私達の順番は最後、他の方達の様子を見ていてドライランディング希望しようと思っていましたが海ポチャしてもらいました。
と言っても軽くお尻位まで浸かる程度でなんだか嬉しい感じです。
天気は快晴、風も凪いでいたのでフライトも実に快適。8歳の息子も青い海の上と空をとーっても満喫しているよう。
余裕があるのかボートのみんなに手を降ってみたり終始笑顔で降りた瞬間またやりたいと(;^_^A
インストラクターの方に聞くと1組当たり700フィート走ってくれるとのことでしたが何だかあっという間でした。
帰りは他のグループをまったり少しロスがあったものの同学年の女の子と参加されたママとお話ししたりで気になることもありませんでした。
価格も他者に比べて安くツアーもしっかりされていたので満足で良い思い出ができました。
最後に1つだけ主催者へ。
ケワロ湾へ行く時のドライバーの運転の粗さが唯一で最大の減点でした。
ピックアップが遅れたせいか、参加者の名簿整理など運転しながら行い車線もオーバーしがち。
車内で死亡事故に関する免責など誓約書にサインさせられるのですがどこからどこまでの誓約書なのでしょうか?
運転手の明らかな過失などによる事故などたまりません。
お客様を乗せている以上運転に集中するなど安全運転の姿勢は守っていただきたいです。

On the day we arrived in Hawaii, we wanted to enjoy a lovely sunset, so our family of four decided to take this cruise. We boarded from the pier right in front of the Hilton, and the kids were able to play on the beach during the waiting time, which made it a stress-free experience. When the sun began to set, we left our shoes before boarding and didn't need to bring much else. The boat was relatively large and had restrooms. There were benches in both a sheltered area to avoid the sun and wind, as well as an outdoor area. They offered light snacks, but it was just chips and cookies. That day, it was just us and one other couple from abroad. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset, and we cruised until the city lights came on, but it was really windy and cold!!! I wore a long-sleeve shirt and a windbreaker, but my feet were bare and got chilly... The boat was rocking, and my 2-year-old got seasick and was in a bad mood. It was quite a long time, so I felt sorry for him. I think the atmosphere and facilities are good, so I recommend this for families with small children during warmer seasons!
ハワイ到着日にサンセットで素敵な雰囲気をと思い家族4人で利用しました。ヒルトンの目の前の桟橋から乗船するため、待ち時間も子どもたちは砂浜で遊ぶなどゆったりとストレスありませんでした。陽が傾きかけたころ、乗船前に靴を預けて裸足で乗る以外は特に持ち物は要りません。比較的大きな船でお手洗いもあります。陽射しや風を避ける壁がついたエリアと外のエリアにベンチがあります。軽食とありますがスナック菓子、クッキー程度です。その日は私たちと他外国人のご夫婦1組だけでした。残念ながらサンセットは見えず、その後街がライトアップするまでクルージングするのですが、何せ風もすごいし寒い!!!長袖にウィンドブレーカーを着ていきましたが、足元は裸足だし冷えました・・・。うねりがあって揺れたこともあり、2歳の子どもは船酔いしてしまい、機嫌も悪く、更に結構時間が長いので可哀想なことをしました。雰囲気設備は良いと思うので、小さなお子さんがいる方は暖かい季節をおススメいたします!

They don't teach out how to fish, they only supply hardware & bait. Did the night fishing, so its not like we had sunlight the whole time. I enjoyed myself, cause i know how to fish, but limited to where to go on the boat to fish.
They made food, not really, just cut up hot dogs & rice in a crock pot, set on simmer. I love to fish, but i don't like to eat it. However, i rather eat the fish i caught than to eat that mess hall type of food. In other words, not consider food to eat on a boat in the ocean. Almost as if to see who has a weak stomache on the waters.
Would i go back is the bottom line. Yes i would, i enjoy fishing. However bring your own food or wait till they cook the fishes caught, otherwise do not eat the food they supply. Bring beer!

I participated on December 11. It was around 4 PM on the first day we arrived in Hawaii. My friend and I joined two groups, including a Taiwanese family.
We went first. We chose the 150m option, and it was truly amazing. I highly recommend the 150m!
There was a $30 option for photos, but we opted out. The daughter of the Taiwanese family suggested we take pictures of each other, so we were planning to do that, but it seems the boat staff took a few pictures of us after seeing that interaction! It might have been because there were only two groups. Honestly, after we finished, it felt a bit awkward to take pictures of others on the boat, so just a heads up on that.
It was really, really fantastic; the horizon looked beautiful, and 150m is quite high! As expected, we were dropped into the sea, getting about halfway submerged (saying things like "Yay!!"), and then we surfaced and landed back on the boat! The wire handling was really impressive!
We declined the ride back and walked along Waikiki Beach while enjoying the sunset.
12月11日に参加しました。ハワイについた初日の16時くらいだったかな・・?友人と二人で参加し、台湾人親子との2組でした。
私たちが先に飛びました。150mを選んでいたのですが、本当に最高でした。是非とも150mおすすめです。
30ドルで写真とありましたが、私たちは希望しませんでした。それに、台湾人親子の娘さんがお互いの写真を取り合いっこしましょうかぁ・・って言ってくれていたので、そのつもりでしたが、どうやらそのやりとりをみて船のスタッフさんが何枚かとってくれました!
2組で少なかったからかもしれません。正直、自分たちが終わってから、船で人の写真を撮るには気持ち悪くなるのでご注意を・・です。
ほんとに、ほんとに最高でしたよ、水平線がきれいに見れたし150m高いです!
予想してましたが、お決まりの海に腰半分浸かるくらい落とされ(イェーイ!!とか言って)再び浮上してから船に着地!本当に上手なワイヤーさばきでした!
帰りの車はお断りして、サンセットを眺めながら、ワイキキビーチを歩いて帰りました。

I challenged myself to the longest 150 meters. Half excited, half nervous... We were the second group out of three. We observed the previous group to learn what to expect. Finally, it was our turn! Since it was 9 AM, it wasn't hot yet, and the breeze was refreshing. Up we went into the air! I was a bit scared at first and couldn't move my legs, but the airtime was quite long, so I relaxed and enjoyed it after a while.
In the air, it was silent, and I felt no pulling sensation; it was as if time had stopped. It was an indescribable feeling. At the end, there was the customary splash landing in the sea. As others had shared, there was a moment to tip the boat crew, but since no one else did, I didn't either.
The shuttle bus was on time, and Yano-san came to pick us up. While we were parasailing, for some reason, he bought me a hair accessory and waited. The view of Waikiki from above was beyond my imagination. It can't be captured in photos. You have to experience it for yourself. It will be the best memory!
最長の150メートルにチャレンジしました。わくわく半分、どきどき半分・・・私たちは3組中2番目。前の組の様子を見てどんなものだか勉強。いざ、自分の番!朝9時だったのでまだ暑くなく風が爽やか、一気に空中へ!落ちやしないかちょっと怖くて最初脚を動かせなかったけど、結構滞空時間が長かったので、途中からはリラックスして満喫。
空中は無音で、引っ張られている感覚もなく時間が止まったよう。
何とも言えない感覚。
最後、恒例の着陸海ポチャもあり。
他の方の体験談とおり、ボートにチップを挟むところがあったが、だれも挟んでなかったので私もしなかった。
送迎バスは定刻。ヤノさんが来てくれました。
私たちがパラセイリングをしている間、どういうわけか、私にだけ、髪飾りを買って待っていてくれました。
空からのワイキキの眺めは想像以上でした。

Actually, I have a fear of heights, but I decided to challenge myself!!! As a result, it was exhilarating and so much fun. The weather was great, and I could see all of Honolulu. I was able to overlook not just Waikiki but also the distant mountains. The view from the sky was amazing. The sea and sky were a beautiful blue that I had never seen before, and my fear of heights seemed to disappear.
At the end, I got to dip into the sea twice, and it was incredibly fun at just the right moment. Although I could choose the height, I wasn't given any confirmation on this, so I left it up to the staff. Since I didn't have a sense of height, I thought it would be difficult to choose, so it worked out well for me. I tend to get seasick, so I was a bit worried when we were docked and swaying, but I managed to get through it.
Not only the staff but also the other groups on board were friendly, and I had a great time. I didn't purchase any photos this time, but they can burn them onto a CD on the spot, so I definitely recommend that to those who will participate in the future. The transportation was smooth, and overall, it was a great experience. I want to challenge myself with activities I've never experienced before next time, and I would like to use this site again.

We participated as a couple. As soon as we exited the hotel and reached the beach, we saw the boat, so we arrived without any confusion. There were about 20 participants that day, but we were the only Japanese people.
The weather was nice, and it was great that we got to see sea turtles. However, during snorkeling, there was an incident where my wife's life jacket lost air. Since she couldn't swim, she was quite panicked. I waved to the guide on the boat, but they just smiled and waved back, thinking it was a simple greeting, and didn’t come to help. When I shouted "Help" loudly, a guide swimming nearby brought a float, and we managed to resolve the situation. Perhaps there was an explanation on how to call for help during the initial English guidance.
When we got back on the boat, I found that my life jacket was also about 70% deflated. I had checked how to inflate it and how to maintain the valve with the guide, so the equipment itself might have been faulty.
After snorkeling, we cruised towards Diamond Head. The waves were quite big, and I ended up feeling sick. When I asked the guide where the restroom was because I thought I might throw up, I was told, "Don't throw up in the restroom," so I had to hold it in. Eventually, I couldn't hold it anymore and ended up using a plastic bag.
There were other guests who also felt sick, but after applying lavender essential oil, they received a bucket that said "Let's Do It" and were encouraged with "Let's Do it." There were several people who were rescued from near drowning and others who felt unwell, but they were all Asian. The Western guests seemed to be having a great time, drinking alcohol on the boat. It might be a tour more suited for Westerners (laughs).

ホテルからビーチに出るとすぐに船が見えたため、迷うことなく到着。当日は20人ほど参加していましたが、日本人は私たち二人だけでした。
天気が良く、ウミガメにも会えた点は良かったです。
しかし、シュノーケリング中、妻の救命胴衣から空気が抜けるハプニングが発生。妻は泳げなかったのでかなり焦りました。船にいるガイドに手を振ったのですが、単なるコミュニケーションと思ったのかニコニコ手を振りかえしてくるだけで助けてもらえず。「Help」と大きな声を上げたところ近くで泳いでいたガイドさんが浮き輪を持ってきて来てくれて事なきを得ました。もしかしたら、最初の英語のガイダンスのところで助けの呼び方などの説明があったのかもしれません。船に上がると私の救命胴衣も7割ほど空気が抜けていました。空気の入れ方、弁の保持の仕方等はガイドさんにチェックしてもらい実施していたので道具自体が良くなかったのかもしれません。
シュノーケリング後はダイヤモンドヘッドの方などをクルージング。結構波が大きく、今度は私の気分が悪くなってしまいました。トイレで吐こうと思いガイドさんにトイレの場所を聞くと、「トイレでは吐くな」と言われ我慢することに。その後、とうとう我慢ができずにビニール袋に戻しました。
他のお客さんも気分が悪くなった人はいましたが、ラベンダーのアロマオイルを塗られた後、「Let's Do It」と書かれたバケツをもらい、「Let's Do it」と言われていました。
溺れかかって助けられた人、気分の悪くなった人は複数人いましたが全てアジア人。西洋人は船上でお酒をがぶがぶ飲みとても楽しそうでした。西洋人向きのツアーなのかもしれません(笑)

We were blessed with good weather on the day.
As we headed to the meeting point, we found an open-air bus!
It was a very pleasant ride to the activity location.
However, while heading out to sea by boat, one family member got seasick... it was quite rocky.
If you're prone to motion sickness, don't forget to take some medication.
The paragliding itself was amazing, as we went up to a very high point with the best view!
当日はお天気にも恵まれました。
集合場所に向かうとオープンエアーのバス!
アクティビティの場所までとても気持ちよく向かいました。
が、沖合いに船で向かっていると家族の1人が船酔い...けっこう揺れます。
酔いやすい方は酔い止めの服用を忘れずに。
肝心のパラセイリングはとても高いところまで上って最高の眺めでした!

I participated in whale watching with high expectations. The main reason I chose this was because it mentioned there would be Japanese commentary. However, when I actually participated, there was no Japanese commentary at all. It was incomprehensible; I searched for where the Japanese commentary was supposed to be in the catalog, but I couldn't find it.
期待してホエールウォッチングに参加しました。
選んだ最大の理由は、日本語解説があるとあったからです。
ところが、いざ参加してみますと、日本語解説一切なしでした。
意味不明、どこが日本語解説なのか、カタログなのか探しましたが、わかりませんでした。

The sunset was absolutely beautiful! There were only my husband and I, along with one elderly parent-child pair, and the atmosphere was great with lively English-speaking guests! The staff didn't speak Japanese, but my husband and I, who can't speak any English at all, had no particular problems.
For those who will be boarding in the future, please note that a jacket is essential! I boarded on December 20, and it was very windy that day, so it got cold once we went offshore. It was also quite rocky! I'm not sure if there are restrooms available, but considering it's cold and you'll be drinking alcohol, please keep the restroom situation in mind when boarding.
夕日がとっても綺麗でした!日本人は私達夫婦とあと一組の年配親子だけで、ノリのよい英語圏の方ばかりでそれがまた雰囲気がよかったです!スタッフは日本語は通じませんでしたが、英語が全く話せない私達夫婦でしたが特に問題はなかったです。
これから乗る方に注意してもらうことは、上着は必須です!12月20日に乗ったのですが、この日はとっても風が強くて沖合に出ると寒かったです。そしてとっても揺れました!あとお手洗いが有るのか無いのかわからないですが、寒いしお酒も飲むのでお手洗いの事も考慮して乗船して下さい。

We made our own fun. I had to drive, so no alcool for me, but the gf got drunk with their delicious cocktail and champagne. It was friday, so we stayed on the waikiki beach waiting in line for the beach restaurant ShoreBird, watching the fireworks and coming inside to grill our own fosh afterward. It was a great night. I recommend going on a friday. We wanted to go to Chinatown after, for the first friday of the month (they have a celebration) but we got lost, and it was too late. But the sunset sail itself was great. Not many seats, so we just sat on the floor.

Instructors knew their gig, we had a blast, even my gf who is afraid of heights thought it was not scary (at 500 feet).
