Quite an experience and probably the best time of our trip to Honolulu. We experienced snorkeling with turtles as advertised, one even came up for air in the middle of the four of us. My teenagers were quite excited. On top of that we got to see dolphins that swam with us and around our boat, which is very unusual. The crew were great and very helpful, knowledgeable and upbeat. We had so much fun we went back for the afternoon cruise the next day and had a great time drinking (adults), singing and splashing thru the waves. Also got to see more dolphins along side and a school of fish skimming up on the surface, very cool. We highly recommend this tour and operator.

This was our first time to Hawaii and wanted it to make it special. I booked the dinner not knowing what to expect. Come to find out we had a great time. We did the 3 Star dinner with the Lobster and Steak and it didn't disappoint. If you have the money its the best way to go. What really impressed me was the fact that we got caught up watching the view from the outside deck dinner was already served and almost all the guest had finished their meal. Our server Clifford was nice enough to keep our meal in the kitchen and brought it to our table when we sat. The show was great and the audience particpation at the end was fun. They also had a 2 man band playing local island music as we enjoyed our dinner. My wife and I agreed that the next trip(whch we are already planning) will include this cruise again. It's a nice way to see Waikii coastline with Diamond head at the top.

Did you know that there is a "Senior Discount" for the trolley? I have used the trolley many times, but this is the first time I learned about the discount. For our family trip, we only used it for my mother (72 years old), but of course, the savings went towards something "delicious." They didn't ask for any proof when exchanging tickets (just a visual check by the attendant).
I highly recommend the Blue Line! It feels amazing!
トロリーに『シニア割』がある事を知っていますか?
何度もトロリーを使っていましたが、今回初めて割引がある事を知りました
家族旅行で母(72歳)一人分のみですが、浮いた分は勿論「美味しい」物に化けました
チケット交換時に証明するものの提示は求められませんでした(おばちゃんの目視のみ)
ブルーラインはお勧めですよ!!

the crew was AWSOME. In fact, the whole day prior to going up my wife was trying to pay me what i paid to no do the event because she was so scared and we even had to go first! I told her to suck it up and it ended up being her favorite event, and we went for the highest one at 500 feet! They guys were careful and kind to help her through it. The ride was beautiful in the air and on the boat! Ignore the reviews that say the guys hastle you for tips and there isn't $20 dollar bills all over the boat. There is some on a pole near the front, maybe 6, and the guys say if you enjoyed the ride tips are welcomed. So if all that makes you feel pressured, then stop whining and enjoy the ride or don't go at all!
have fun!

My daughter and her best friend were given a trip to Hawaii as a graduation gift. They went parasailing while there. They had a great time doing it. As a way to remember this once in a lifetime experience, I paid for the 24 exposure roll of pictures to be taken. When they returned home, the roll of film was brought to be processed. We were disappointed when none of the pictures came out. The negatives showed only two partial pictures, neither of which were the girls.

I was always terrified of boats...but this sunset cruise was the best gift my husband could have ever given me! We had so much fun, and I enjoyed the sea, from the sea! I have always been a beach lover, but sailing, WOW it's breath-taking. I would do it again if I ever have the good fortune to return. The crew made sure everyone had the best time. The drinks were great, and music too. It was one of the best times of my life. AND we could afford this one!! Thank you!!

The staff's explanations in Japanese were easy to understand and sufficient for my 4-year-old daughter who participated with me. We were very excited to see many sea turtles. The only slight disappointment was that, although the waves were calm, the visibility wasn't as clear as I had expected.
スタッフの日本語の説明は聞き取りやすく、一緒に参加した4歳の娘にも十分な説明でした。たくさんの海ガメを見ることができ大興奮でした。少し残念だったのは、波も静かでしたが予想していたほどクリアには見えなかった事かな。

Before I book this activity I thought as an individual, they will put myself on the "parachute" only, but they weren't, they simply put me with two other strangers together, I don't even know them, I feel so bad. That's why I didn't leave them a penny. The shuttle drivers is a nice guy, I leave him 10 bucks.

I highly recommend this tour to anyone who has never been to Hawaii!! Our tour guide was super nice and very knowledgeable. We rode the beach cruiser and it was really nice to just ride along the beach, but you have to be careful as you do share the road with cars. It was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and spend the whole day at the North Shore. We had an awesome time and I cannot wait to do it again.

I participated with a friend in July☆
I was worried about whether I could stand up since it was my first time surfing, but both of us managed to stand and it was so much fun!!
I am really grateful to our instructor, Yuko. She taught us the basics properly, and when I mentioned that I wanted to surf in Japan, she shared a lot of information.
Yuko is kind, thorough, and... cute♪
Thank you so much!!
It was so enjoyable that although we originally planned to surf for just one day, we added another day on-site!! I highly recommend it for beginners☆
You can participate with peace of mind, and communication is clear, plus they teach the basics in an easy-to-understand way.
If you go to Hawaii, definitely give it a try!!
I will definitely participate again on my next trip to Hawaii!! Yuko, I hope to see you again then☆★☆★

This time, I really wanted to go tandem parasailing in Hawaii, so I researched various sites and decided on this one. The many positive reviews from past visitors were a deciding factor. However, my only concern was that it seemed like no one would speak Japanese. My wife was worried about that too. On the day of the activity, while waiting near the Duke Kahanamoku statue, a van arrived. As expected, the driver clearly didn't seem to speak Japanese. From there, we went around to various hotels, and a total of five groups joined us, but everyone except us was a foreigner who could speak English. My wife had an even more anxious expression on her face... Meanwhile, the driver was explaining things in English, but I couldn't understand anything (laughs).
Then we arrived at Kealoha Bay. When we showed our tickets, we were given a paper with the time and the boat we would be taking, and we waited for a bit. Additionally, it seemed that the four groups we were with were going to do jet skiing, so they headed in a different direction from us...
When it was time to go to the designated boat, there were four other foreigners on board, and we were all set to go. Up until this point, it sounds a bit negative, but from here on, it was completely different. The group we were with included a family of five (the wife was just along for the ride and took photos), a couple in their 40s, and two friends in their 20s, along with us, and everyone was cheerful. The captain? and the young camera assistant explained everything in a bright and easy-to-understand manner, and they provided explanations in Japanese at key points. There was a place to store our belongings, so it was no problem to bring a small backpack.
We headed out on the boat, and the parasailing began! As for the parasailing itself, it was amazing and exceeded my expectations. The flight lasted about ten minutes, and it was so much fun. The young man took photos for us. It was an additional $15, but I was satisfied with the quality. They handed it to us on film, so be sure to keep it in your carry-on to avoid exposure.
So, having a lot of anxiety was part of the fun. The mention of adventure in our belongings might be related to this experience.
今回、ハワイでどうしてもパラセーリングをタンデムでやりたくて、いろんなサイトで調べてここに決めました。
過去の書き込みもいい感想が多かったのが決め手。
ただ、日本語が通じそうにないのが唯一の不安。嫁もそこをずっと心配していました。そして、当日、デュークカナハモク像の近くで待っていると、一台のバンが。予想通り、明らかに日本語が通じそうにないドライバー。そこから、様々なホテルを回り、計5組が一緒になりましたが、私達以外は全て英語が通じそうな外国人ばかり。嫁の顔には一層不安な表情が・・・そんな中ドライバーはずっと英語で説明なようなことをしていましたが、一切わかりません(笑)
そして、ケアロ湾に到着。ここでチケットを見せると、時間と乗るボートの書いた紙を渡されて、しばし待つ。おまけに一緒に乗った4組はどうやらジェットスキーをやるようで僕らとは別の方向へ・・・
そして、時間になって指定されたボートに行くと、別の外国人が4組いて、ボートに乗せられました。
ここまでがなにかネガティブな内容ですが、ここからは全く違います。
一緒に乗った外国人は5人家族が一組(奥さんはただ同乗してカメラ係)、40代の夫婦と20代の女性の友達2人と我々でしたが、みんな陽気。船長?とカメラ係の若者が明るくわかりやすく説明してくれるし、要所は日本語で説明してくれます。荷物も置く場所があるので、ナップサックに入れていけば問題なし。
ボートで沖まで進み、パラセーリングがスタート!
肝心のパラセーリングはといえば、最高で、期待以上でした。およそ10分間のフライトですが、楽しくてしょうがない。写真は、この若者がとってくれます。15ドル別料金ですが、出来も満足ですよ。フィルムで渡されるので、手荷物に入れて感光しないように。
というわけで、不安一杯で望むのも楽しみの一つ。持ち物に冒険心と書かれているのはこのあたりがあるのかも。

We participated with eight people, including a five-year-old. I had heard that there were no Japanese staff, but I was relieved to find a very kind Japanese female staff member. The parasailing was a lot of fun, but I got seasick on the boat before we reached the sea. While feeling good is important, I think motion sickness medication is necessary. Perhaps because the wind was strong, we rode in groups of four. I wished we could have gone in pairs instead. Also, we were told that if we felt like it, we could give a tip, but I thought the fee should have included the tip... so my family ended up paying. The photos were available for purchase along with the negatives.
5歳児含め8名で参加しました。
スタッフの方に日本人はいないと聞いてましたが、
とても親切な日本人スタッフの女性が居て安心しました。
パラセイリングはとても楽しかったのですが、船で海に出るまでに酔ってしまいました。
気持ちも大切ですが、酔い止めは必要かと思います。
風が強かったからか、4人ずつ乗りました。
2人ずつ乗りたかったなと少し思いました。
それからチップを気持ちがあればお願いしますと言われたのですが、料金にはチップが含まれてたはず...と思いながら、家族が支払いました...。
写真は撮ってくれた写真をネガごと購入するかたちでした。

The boat lost engine power in the middle of going back to shore. Apparently there was some water in the fuel so we ended up staying out till about 8:30 or 9:00 with screaming children. It was fun other than the engine giving out. They said it had never happened before which is probably true but nevertheless, it wasn't as pleasant as I had hoped.

Don't expect a high-end resort spa. If you are looking for spa with pool, sauna, gym, etc., this is not it. HOWEVER, if you simply want to enjoy some high quality massage for an amazingly affordable price, this is where you need to go.
The facility is just a small cozy room, but the quality you will get is more than what you pay for. As advertised, my therapist worked for some other big hotel spa so it's the same quality you will get as you pay double the price, or even more. She said she likes working at this salon because she can really enjoy her work.
I decided to go back again at the end of my stay in Hawaii. This is definitely a hidden secret of Waikiki. I'd recommend their service to anyone who are simply looking for a high quality massage, nothing more.
Thank you!

The boat ride to the submarine was pleasant, and it was interesting since it was my first experience on a submarine.
The waves were strong, so the water was murky, but it was still nice to see fish and turtles.
It can be a bit rocky, so those who are prone to motion sickness might get seasick quickly.
I recommend the Japanese guide option.
潜水艦までの船も気持ちが良くて、潜水艦も初体験なので面白かったです。
波が強かったので、水中も濁ってしまっていましたが、それでも魚やカメも見れて良かったです。

I was able to learn properly from the basics and really catch the waves!! The excitement when I stood up was incredible. When I stumbled in the shallow water, I got a few scrapes, but I see those as proof of my effort. Moreover, the instructor was very friendly and cute. It felt more like hanging out with friends among the girls, which made it even more enjoyable. I had a fantastic time surfing, and it truly became a wonderful memory.
When I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to request Girls Who Surf!!

My husband and were first time visitors to Hawaii and this seemed like a nice thing to do. We got the 3 star package with the celebration plan and definitely had a great time. This was our last planned event during our stay and it was a wonderful way to spend our last night in Hawaii. We were quickly shown to our table and the dinner service went smoothly from there. We went up to the deck above several times to check out the view of Waikiki Beach all the way down to Diamond Head. Dinner was wonderful (although a little messy since we had the lobster) and the entertainment (a jazz duo with a saxophonist for a couple numbers) during dinner was lovely. We came back to our table at one point to find the photo they took right after we boarded sitting in a very nice cover on our table, free with the package we ordered. The show after dinner was quite entertaining, especially when they got everyone in the room up on their feet and dancing in one big mass of people, it was so much fun!

I love these people! This was the greatest. We reserved 2 for parasailing and 2 observers on the boat. Getting the confirmations online was easy. The directions to the pick-up was simple to find. They picked us up and delivered us back to our hotel. The parasailing itself was da bomb! Our driver and his co-worker were most awesome and very friendly. They did NOT make you give them a tip; you wanted to. They deserve every penny they make! Quite frankly, I could have spent all days with these guys; they were so much fun. It's a quick ride, but the most fun EVER. If you do not do this, you're crazy!

I stayed in Waikiki and made a reservation from Japan to visit the Mandara Spa at Hilton Hawaiian Village. On this day, my husband and child spent time at the beach while I indulged a little. The Mandara Spa, originating from Bali, was so relaxing that I didn't want to do anything afterward. I spent a leisurely holiday shopping at the Hilton until the evening without participating in any activities.
