This was truly one of the best experiences in Hawaii. Our boat had about 12 people and 8 people had parasailing ride. My son who is 12 years old loved it. My son did not want to put in his feet into the water at first but he was surprised that the water was pretty warm. You can see the whole beach and ocean together. While you are flying, you can also look down into the ocean and see the fishes in the water. It was not as scary as I expected. The time just flew by so fast. I wish the ride was a little longer. They also took great photos for us although if you want the pictures you need to extra 30 dollars. My father went along as an observer and he enjoyed the beautiful view as well. Enjoy!

It was my first time paragliding. There were a lot of participants, so we had to wait on the boat before actually flying. While waiting, the rocking of the boat made me a bit seasick, and when we took off, I felt a tightness in my stomach as we shot up. However, once we reached the top, I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea and the view from a perspective I had never seen before!
初めてのパラセーリングでした。
参加人数が多く、実際に飛ぶまでにボート上で待たされました。
待ってる間のボートの揺れでちょっと船酔いしてしまい、飛ぶときも
グワっとあがるので、胃がキューっと縮み上がる感じがしました・・。
上まで上がってしまえばきれいな海と見たことない視線からの景色に

It was just my daughter and me participating. We were the only Japanese people there. It was not a problem that I didn't understand much English. I was looking for snorkeling without the need to wear a life jacket, so I could dive freely, and the staff was nearby. There were also buoy-like floaties, which should provide reassurance for those who are not confident swimmers. If you're feeling anxious, relaxing on the boat might be a good option as well. The staff also joined us in snorkeling and made it enjoyable. The sailing after snorkeling was fantastic. The view of Waikiki from the sea was a luxurious experience that is hard to come by. I will definitely participate again next time.
娘と二人での参加でした。日本人は私達だけでした。英語があまり理解出来なくても問題はありませんでした。ライフジャケットを着なくても良いシュノーケルを探していましたので、自由に潜れますし、スタッフも近くにいてくれますし、棒のような浮き輪もありますので、泳ぎに自信のない方にも安心なのではないでしょうか。もし不安であれば、船上でゆっくりくつろぐのも良いのでは…。スタッフの方も一緒に潜り楽しませてくれました。シュノーケルの後のセーリングも最高でした。海から眺めるワイキキ、
なかなか体験できない贅沢な時間でした。次回も是非参加します。

The staff at Hawaiian Parasail were fantastic! From booking our spots online to the bus pick-up to the parasailing itself, the staff were friendly and enthusiastic. The day ran smoothly from start to finish, starting with a prompt pickup at our hotel at the designated time. My friends and I truly had a memorable experience. The views from the top, looking back onto Waikiki beach, were just breathtaking and there was ample time to appreciate! There is a 'dip' included in the package- this was very fun and exciting. It really is a must for anyone visiting Hawaii! We would definitely go again on our next trip.

Our (too) short time spent with Hawaiian Parasail provided us with a great parasailing experience at a convenient location!
Our party of 4 booked & paid online, and were picked up from the front of our hotel. The company website gives lots of details and FAQ with regards to parasailing and is very easy to navigate. On the day, there was friendly service all round from fantastic staff who were obviously determined to give us a good time. It was our first time parasailing, and we would definitely give it another go. We would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Hawaii - really a very exciting experience!

The tour guides had great attitudes and were very nice especially when working on Christmas day. Only a 5 minute ride to turtle canyon where there were 5-10 turtles as well as a lot of fish. The water was very refreshing and clear. We saw Dolphins adter snorkeling and they literally came within 2 feet of the boat. This tour was extremely worth it. This is a must if you're staying in Waikiki and want to do a fun activity.

This time, we participated as a family of six. The weather was nice, and the waves were calm. The waiting time until boarding felt a bit long. Since you wait under the shining sun, I think it's better for women to prepare sun umbrellas or similar items. The snorkeling at Atlantis was very satisfying as we could see various fish. It was truly great to see sea turtles as well. I absolutely recommend this tour.
今回は、家族6名で参加しました。天候もよく、波も穏やかでした。乗船までの待ち時間が多少長く感じられました。燦々と輝く太陽の下で待つので、女性の方は日傘等を準備されたほうがよろしいかと思います。アトランテイスでの海中遊泳は、いろいろな魚が見られ大満足でした。海がめも見る事ができ本当に良かったです。このツアーは絶対お勧めです。

I'd like to sorry upfront for my candid feedbacks.
My main objective is to watch the whale; however, there was no whale to watch. The captain tried to raise the expectation of tour participants with somehow false alert such as "01 mile away from whales"... but at the end, no one could sense any whale signals. Even though, the Cruise offered other time to watch the whale, for foreign travellers like me, this is not a genuine gesture - it will be difficult for us to spend another trip to Hawaii for another Whale Watch Cruise. Thus, I suggest it should say that "the Cruise will go around Honolulu in an attempt to find whale, but chance to see whale depends on different factors. If you cannot see whale, take it easy and enjoy the sightseeing..." or something like that.
Lunch will be another area for improvement as the listed dishes are far away from similar one in other normal restaurants.
Other than the above, the trip can be a nice memory when participants can enjoy the beautiful landscape of Honolulu from the Ocean.

I've been to Oahu three times and it seems like I'm always on the shore looking out at the water. It was really great to see the Waikiki Beach this way. We showed up at the sign in at the marina 15 minutes early and the lady manning the desk was nice and courteous. The two gentlemen manning the boat were personable. We ended up going out with two other couples. We were the first to go amd it was kind of a rush to be first. Especially since I have never been parasailing and I didn't know what to expect on lift off. Our ride lasted 8 minutes and it was more than enough to take our own pictures with a GoPro and enjoy view and how peaceful it was. As we were pulled in we were dipped in the water which I didn't know was going to happen (which I think you can request to skip) but it was fun. Overall something I would recommend for sure if you have never been parasailing and if you haven't seen the coastline fri, the water.

This year, at my father's request after he experienced illness and surgery, we went on a trip to Hawaii. Since my parents usually don't express gratitude to each other, I surprised them by booking this option.
The captain's ceremony was entirely in English, so I did my best to translate the important points with my limited English skills, and they seemed to understand somewhat. Afterward, I was worried when my father fell silent, but suddenly he started to cry and expressed his gratitude.
The food was even better than expected, and the show was plentiful, keeping us entertained beyond the scheduled time. There was even a show at the end that brought everyone on the ship together, and I was more satisfied than I had imagined.
Thank you very much. Now that I am back home, I would like to give my parents a letter with the captain's vow along with photos from the vow renewal ceremony. I would be even happier if you could provide that information.
今年病気と手術を経験した父の希望もあり、ハワイ旅行へ行きました。
普段はなかなか感謝を伝え合わない両親なので、サプライズでこのオプションを申込みました。

お料理も予想以上においしく、ショーもたっぷり、時間を越えてまで楽しませてくれました。
最後は船内が一体となるようなショーもあり、想像以上に満足でした。
ありがとうございました。
帰国した今、改めてバウリニューアル時の写真と共に、キャプテンの誓いの言葉を両親に手紙で渡したいのですが、お教えいただくことができれば、なお嬉しいです。

This was our first time parasailing, and it did not disappoint. The weather was perfect for this fantastic adventure.
The crew acted with a friendly attitude and professionalism always ensuring our safety.
It was an extremely exciting thing as you are slowly pulled upwards off the boat into the sky. It is a weird feeling but one that is definitely worth it. We did the 800ft one, it was a little disappointing that we were only in the air for a short period of time, but ultimately it did not detract from a great experience. I would recommend parasailing for all who venture to Waikiki as a great adventure.

Me and my uncle decided to do the 800' tandem parasailing experience with Hawaiian Parasail on our recent vacation to Hawaii. This was our 1st time to parasail on our vacation, & it was definitely worth our time & $$. We were scared before started the parasailing but it was piece of cake. We went in early december, and the weather was little windy but fun. I wanted to do it again but started raining. I recommend not going too far into the ocean since city view gets too small.
We purchased the memory card and it was worth it. We are back at hotel by 12pm. I think everyone should parasail ... especially with Hawaiian Parasail.
Take Care...

It was really fun! the staff was accommodating and friendly and gave precise instructions and made it fun and maintained safety along with it. Highly recommend! The fact our boat was named the Class bum made it even better!

I participated in the 120m jump. The conversation was mainly in English, but they spoke some broken Japanese, which made it enjoyable. There were five groups participating, with two groups being foreigners and three groups being Japanese. The three foreigners jumped first, followed by us. The moment we jumped was scary, but once we were up, there was little shaking, and I was moved by the stunning panorama around Waikiki. We took photos and videos among ourselves as Japanese. I also purchased a $30 photo as a keepsake. After purchasing, they provided a longer service with the soap.
The pickup was a bit late (maybe around 10 minutes?), but I received a call at the hotel front desk saying they would arrive soon, so there were no issues. However, I felt a bit nervous, and since there was a language barrier, I will give it four stars.
120mで参加しました。会話は基本英語ですが、一部カタコトの日本語はしゃべってくれるので、楽しめました。5組参加しており、2組が外人さん、3組が日本人でした。最初に3人の外人が飛び、次に私たちでした。飛び出す瞬間は怖かったんですが、上がってしまえば揺れも少なく、ワイキキ付近の大パノラマで感動しました。写真や動画は同じ日本人同士で撮り合いました。30ドルの写真も記念に購入しました。購入したらジャボンを長めにサービスしてくれました。
送迎が少し(10分ぐらいかな?)遅れましたが、ホテルのフロントにもうすぐ来ると電話が掛かってきて、問題ありませんでした。でも、どきどきしたのと、日本語が通じないので星4つにします。

This was my first time in Hawaii. I wanted to watch the sunset from the sea and debated between a dinner cruise, but I chose this one because it was reasonably priced.
As everyone mentioned, the meeting place was hard to find. I saw a JTB representative walking around at the Sheraton, so I called out to them for directions.
Feeling the wind and seeing Diamond Head and the city of Waikiki from the sea was an entirely different view that excited me, and the sunset sinking into the horizon was beautiful.
We all burst into laughter when we saw a foreigner who was completely soaked after getting splashed while taking pictures with their iPad and smartphone. The atmosphere on the boat was fun, especially with some drinks involved.

風を感じて海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの街はまた景色が全然違って興奮したし、水平線に沈む夕日も綺麗でした。

This was a truly awesome experience. We had Sam as a driver and he was totally great. He navigated traffic well and all of his narrating was necessary, funny and enjoyable.
We had a slight problem in that we missed our pick up (oops!) but the company was helpful and told us where to go to get another pick up.
We did some bike riding in the morning, saw Pipeline and had a great time. In the afternoon we tried SUP and saw turtles! It was a fully awesome experience. So good getting out and SEEING the North Shore, not just taking pictures of it.
