H2O Sports Parasailing Adventure Ride at Maunalua Bay [600ft & 800ft lines]

Sea Breeze Parasailing

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Parasailing was a lot of fun. The staff was very friendly and funny. What keeps me from giving them a 5 star is that the pictures they take of you cannot be purchased individually. So if you want any of the pictures they take you have to buy all of them which starts at $30.

Parasailing in Waikiki with Hawaiian Parasail - Diamond Head Views with Triple & Tandem Flights

Parasailing was GREAT!

Reviewed by: Natasha

My boyfriend and I went parasailing to celebrate our anniversary, and it was awesome! The crew was polite, interactive, and entertaining, but at the same time safe and professional. The boat ride and the parasailing itself was lots of fun! I thought that it would be scary, but it was really easy and exciting and I wasnt that afraid at all. It was also romantic to parasail with my boyfriend, so this is a great activity for couples! (But friends and family as well.) I would suggest this activity to everyone, and would gladly do it again =]

The view is amazing! 眺めは最高!

Reviewed by: chiba

I recommend this for anyone who is not afraid of heights. You can get a great view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea, and once you're up in the air, it's not as scary as you might think! The explanations are in English, but it's not a big problem if you don't understand them. As part of the service, you will fall into the sea once, so wearing a swimsuit and bringing a towel is essential. Also, it might be cold while you're waiting depending on the weather, so having a hoodie or something similar would be good.

高所恐怖症の方以外にはお勧めです。
ワイキキのホテル群やダイヤモンドヘッドが海上から一望できますし、上空に上がってしまえば思ったほど怖くないですよ!説明は英語ですが解らなくてもそれほど問題ありません。
サービスの一環?で一度海に落ちますので水着着用とタオルは必須です。あと待っている間天候によっては寒いかもしれませんのでパーカー等あればいいですね。

FAMILY Goddess

Reviewed by: GG

It was fun, but it was a very windy day! The seas were rough which made our parasailing very interesting! My husband, 6 year old and I flew together. I was squished in the middle and I also felt a bit sea sick. It wasn't as enjoyable as I thought because of the wind, but it was fun! The crew was wonderful!

Honolulu X-Treme Parasailing Tour Adventure [700ft, 850ft, 1000ft or 1200ft Rides]

Fun, but short.

Reviewed by: April

The parasailing was a lot of fun. You go up and you sit in the sky for about eight minutes. The views are amazing, but your time seems a little short. It's very relaxing though, and the staff was definatly having fun with their job. The only thing that was a little surprising was the fact that they advertised literally exactly how much they were expecting to be tipped. At least $20. Other then that it was alot of fun.

The parasailing staff were awesome! It was a first time experience for my mother and boyfriend and they made it wonderful. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. They even offered a kamaaina rate to my father which allowed him to be on the boat with us. He really enjoyed that. We will definitely do it again someday and recommend to friends and family.

Honolulu X-Treme Parasailing Tour Adventure [700ft, 850ft, 1000ft or 1200ft Rides]

good but done in bad taste.

Reviewed by: Mike, Spokane Washington

We enjoyed the parasailing part of the activity and the transport bus was timely and clean, but the overally experience was tainted by the heavy handed demand for $20.00 tips. Like having dinner at a nice restaurant where the waiter recommends/demand to know the amount of your intended tip before he/she recommending the catch of the day.

the blatant tip demand unfortunately tainted an othewise nice activity. We did tip and would have without the demand for tip, but the demand made me feel unwelcome. wouldnt come back only because of that.

other than that it was as advertised and enjoyable. maybe you dont care or want repeat business. mike.

Extreme Parasaling

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The Parasailing was great but they did not give each family duo the same amount of time. The first group went twice as long as the others, and the last group was really shortened. I think because they brought another group out before we were done and so they hurried ours.

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

You can challenge yourself at various heights, but since I was there, I signed up for the highest one. I did a similar activity in Saipan before, but this one goes really high up!

I briefly thought about what would happen if I fell...

But honestly, the view was amazing, and I was able to enjoy a leisurely stroll in the air.

色々な高さに挑戦できますが、せっかくなので一番高いのに申し込みました。
以前サイパンで同様のアクティビティーをしたのですが、これはとにかく高くまで上がります!

落ちたら・・・

とか一瞬思いますが、ホント景色も最高で、ゆっくりと空中散歩を楽しめました。

Honolulu X-Treme Parasailing Tour Adventure [700ft, 850ft, 1000ft or 1200ft Rides]

Awesome Experience

Reviewed by: Becky from Southern Calif

Parasailing with X-treme Parasailing was a wonderful activity. I thought it would be scary, but in actuality it was a very relaxing experience that I'll never forget. If you listen to the instructions the crew give you, your ride up and back down will be smooth and comfortable. Once in the air, you will experience a wonderful peace as you float high above the water.
I would highly recommend this activity to a wide range of people. We had a 3rd grader and a 62 year old on our boat, and each of them LOVED their parasailing experience. The crew was fun and put every one who was a little nervous at ease with their years of experience and humorous comments. Tipping was optional, and in no way did the crew make me feel like I HAD to tip. I was, however, happy to tip them for the great job they did!

We had a great time on the boat, with the crue (they made us feel so comfortable and were on top of the situation - it was our first experience parasailing) and especially in the air.

It was amazing!! 最高でした!!

Reviewed by: 旅好きなっちゃん

I tried parasailing for the first time, and it was amazing, like flying in the sky! My sister and I participated together, and it felt like we were in our own world; the scenery was fantastic and wonderful. There was a service where you could take 24 photos for $15, and it seems like they capture pictures during the parasailing. I took motion sickness medicine beforehand, but I got seasick while waiting for others to finish parasailing, so the medicine is a must! I would love to try it again!

初めてパラセイルに挑戦しましたが、空を飛んでいるようで感動でした!!
妹と二人で参加しましたが、二人だけの世界のようで景色も最高で素晴らしかったです。
写真も24枚撮り$15でフィルムをくれるサービスがあり、パラセイル中の写真が収められているようです。
酔い止めを飲んで行きましたが、他の人のパラセイルを船で待っている間酔ってしまったので、酔い止めは必須です!!
またチャレンジしたいと思います☆★

I requested a pick-up, and I was surprised when I got into the car! Everyone except us was a foreigner. English was flying around in the car, and it seemed like everyone was having a great time. I, who am completely hopeless with English, was just staring blankly the whole time... But once it started, everyone got really excited, and it was a lot of fun. It was a very valuable experience. I wonder if only Japanese people pay tips?? I wasn't really sure about that...

送迎を御願いしたので、車に乗ってみてビックリ!!
私達以外、全員外国の方。
車内では英語が飛び交い、楽しそうです。
英語が全くダメな私は終始ポカーン…
でも、いざ始まると皆さんかなり盛り上がって楽しかったです。
とても貴重な体験でした。
チップは日本人だけが払うんですかね??

Just there to make a quick buck!!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We paid for the Deluxe package which is $20 more than the Standard package in order to go up to a higher height, and for 5 minutes more of flying (than the standard's 8 min). Well when we went out no matter what package you purchased, you only got 5 minutes in the air. TOTAL RIP OFF!! AND to top it off, by the end of the trip the 2 workers ASKED FOR $20 tips from everyone!! The actual flying was fun, but they should give you what you pay for.

Honolulu X-Treme Parasailing Tour Adventure [700ft, 850ft, 1000ft or 1200ft Rides]

Uncomfortable

Reviewed by: Tiffany

This was the first activity we had planned on Oahu. The actual Parasailing time was wonderful!!! The time spent on the boat with the workers was horrible. To start they wanted us to pay them $15 to take pictures of us (even though the other people in our group were going to do it). When we declined their offer the crew made rude comments almost constantly during the boat ride. (Is he always this cheap? Must be they are saving their money for a sunny day!!! Not good Aloha.) The boat has writing all over it that, "Good karma starts with good tips" and "Tipping is WELCOME." There are $20bills taped all up the handrail as a "suggestion" on how much to tip. Don't forget the 3 times that the crew mentioned that we should not forget to tip them for their hard work! The time spent on the boat was very uncomfortable but parasailing was awesome. In the end I did tip them (only because I felt so uncomfortable) and I am still regretting it.

I was satisfied!! 満足でした!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was really satisfied because I had decided to do this when I went to Hawaii!
I chose the highest flying plan, and the view was so beautiful that I was moved.
I felt a bit nervous when I had to dip my bottom into the water, but if you don't want to get wet, it's good to let them know before you jump.
It was so much fun that it ended in no time!
I was fine, but I think those who are prone to motion sickness should definitely take some medicine before going!
Also, in addition to the tip, you can get photos taken for about $15, so it might be good to bring some extra money.
We only brought enough for the tip, so we couldn't get any photos... that was the only regret.
It will be a great memory, so I recommend trying it at least once!

ハワイに行ったら絶対やると決めていたのですごく満足でした!!
一番高く飛ぶプランにしたんですが、景色がすごくキレイで感動しました☆彡
水の中におしりをジャボンッと入れられる時はドキドキしたけど水につけられたくない人は飛ぶ前に確認してくれるのでちゃんと言った方が良いですよ♪
楽しくてあっという間に終わってしまいました(´∀`)
私は大丈夫でしたが、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを必ず飲んで行った方がいいと思います!
それとチップの他に$15(かな?)で写真を撮ってもらえるので、余分にお金を持っていったほうがいいかもしれません。
私達はチップ分しか持って行かなかったので写真を撮ってもらえませんでした…それだけが残念でした↓↓
良い思い出になるので一度試したほうがいいですよ☆

Parasailing is the best!!! パラセイル最高!!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I really felt like I became a bird! My friend (who has a fear of heights) was able to observe from a boat, and I was worried about riding solo on the tandem, but a female staff member joined me, which made me feel at ease. It was great that I could participate in the parasailing experience with my friend. My friend fell in love at first sight with a Japanese male staff member who gave us a ride back to the hotel, and even after returning home, she keeps saying, "He was so cool!!!" Both my friend and I made wonderful memories.

本当に鳥になった気分です!友人(高所恐怖症)はボートで見学する事ができたし、私は2人乗りに1人で乗るのかと不安でしたが女性スタッフが同乗してくれて安心でした。パラセイル体験は自分だけでも、友人とツアー参加できたのが良かったです。友人はホテルまで送迎してくれた日本人の男性スタッフに一目惚れしてしまい、帰国してからも「超かっこよかったよね~!!!」と言っています。私も友人もステキな思い出になりました。

Breathtaking view 絶景

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

- It's recommended because three people can fly together! You can enjoy a leisurely conversation while admiring the scenery up in the sky! The moment you take off is incredibly thrilling! ☆☆☆

- Digital camera photography is frowned upon by the staff... If you sit in a position that's easy to take photos, you might be moved. For $15, a staff member will take your pictures. You'll receive a 24-exposure film to develop back in Japan.

- Tips are collected separately, haha. "Please give us a tip~♪" they say... lol

- Inquiries are only in English, which is a bit concerning. However, as long as you don't get the bus stop wrong, you'll be fine! The person in charge of transportation is nice. Mike at the reception is very handsome. You can communicate easily with the staff on the boat! It's safe.

- Motion sickness. While everyone is flying, you have to wait on the boat. It can be quite intense. Please make sure to take motion sickness medication!

●3人でも一緒に飛べるのでオススメ!
上空では景色を眺めながら、のんびり会話を楽しめます!
飛んでいく瞬間が最高にスリリングです☆☆☆

●デジカメ撮影は係員に嫌がられます…
撮りやすい位置に座ると移動させられたり。
写真撮影は、$15で係員が撮ってくれます。
24枚撮りフィルムで渡されるので、日本での現像です。

●チップは別途徴収されますw
「チップくださ~い♪」と…笑

●問い合わせは英語のみなので、不安です。
しかし、バス停さえ間違えなければ大丈夫!
送迎担当の人も、感じいいし。
受付のMikeはとてもかっこいいし。
船の上では、係員と全然コミュニケーション取れますし!安全です。

●船酔い。
みんなが飛んでいる間は、乗ったまま待機です。
けっこうきます。絶対に酔い止め服用してくださいね!

Refreshing. 気分爽快

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

First of all, I was impressed by the kindness of Alan1, who sent a reminder email about the meeting time and place through the hotel message counter. There were a total of 10 participants in the activity. Except for one colleague from my company, everyone else was from abroad, which made me feel even more like I was on an overseas trip.

Since I was the fourth to jump, I thought it wouldn't be scary based on the reactions of the people before me, but once I actually jumped, I could see all of Waikiki and it was simply "so refreshing!" However, perhaps because the surroundings were wide open with the ocean, even though it was an extreme ride, I didn't feel like we were 300 meters away. But the boat was small enough that I couldn't see the people on it, so we must have been quite far apart.

Finally, when I was dropped into the sea and dragged for 2 to 3 seconds before resurfacing and landing back on the boat, everyone applauded, and it was a wonderfully fun experience. I highly recommend it for those who are not afraid of heights. Also, since the boat sways quite a bit, I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who are prone to seasickness.

まずAlan1さんがホテルのメッセージカウンターを通してまで集合時間と場所の念押しメールを下さった親切さに感心させられました。
アクティビティ参加者はぜんいんで10名。私と会社の同僚1名以外は全て外国の方だったので、海外旅行に来ていることが、より実感出来ました。
飛ぶ順番は4番目だったため先の人の反応から怖くないだろうとは思いましたが、実際飛んでみてワイキキ全体が一望出来「気持ちいい~~」の一言です。
ただ周りが海で広いせいか、エキストリームライドだったのですが300メートルも離れているとは感じませんでした。けどボートが小さく乗っている人が見えなくなるほどなので、実際離れているのでしょう。
最後に海に落とされ2~3秒引きずられた後再浮上しボートに着地したときは、みんなが拍手してくれて和気藹々で最高に楽しかったです。
高所恐怖症で無い人には超お勧めです。
またボートがかなり揺れるため船酔いする人は絶対に酔い止めの服用をお勧めします。
