I totally recommend this to anyone with a sense of adventure! The employees at the ticket booth were friendly and helpful. The boat captain and the guy in charge of strapping everyone in were very skilled, knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone was punctual and professional. I went with my husband and father and they were happy to let us ride all together. We were 550 pounds all together and were slightly over the limit but they weren't remotely worried about it. We purchased the 850ft rope and I wish I had gone with the 1000ft. I was worried about the height but it was great! We had things going on later in the day and asked for a "dry landing", they did AWESOME. I wore shorts and a t-shirt but was prepared with extra clothes if I did get wet... (and I really expected to...) but despite the STRONG winds and high waves we were hitting they easily provided us what we asked. Other groups experienced getting their legs dipped to having their whole bodies practically dunked... they'll try to

I went to Hawaii for the first time.
We rode a boat with about ten people, but everyone except us was speaking in English, which made me a bit anxious. (They provide the minimum necessary information in broken Japanese.)
Also, the return bus pickup was not smooth, and for us who don't understand English, we were somewhat worried, wondering, "When will they come to pick us up?" "Will they even come to pick us up?" "Are we waiting in the wrong place?"
The staff there will take photos of you while parasailing for $30, so if you want photos, it's better to bring some money. (We only had the bare minimum, so we couldn't buy any.)
The parasailing itself was very enjoyable, and I was extremely satisfied!! Next time, I plan to bring enough money to participate properly.
初めてハワイに行きました。
10人ぐらいでボートに乗って海にでるのですが、
私たち以外全員英語で会話をしているので、弱冠不安でした。
(最低限必要な情報は片言の日本語で説明してくれます)
また帰りのバスの迎えもスムーズではなく、英語がわからない私たちにとっては「いつ迎えにくるのだろう?」「そもそも迎えにきてくれるのだろうか?」「待ってる場所が違うのかな?」など多少不安にかられました。
向こうのスタッフがパラセイリング中の写真を$30で撮ってくれるので、写真を希望する方はお金を持って行った方がいいです。(私達は必要最低限のお金しかもっていなかったので、買えませんでした。)
パラセイリング自体はとても楽しく大満足です!!
次回はちゃんとお金を持って、参加しようと思います。

my daughters, both in mid 20's, enjoyed the parasailing, said AMAZING!
my experience was a little unnerving, as I knew what not todo, but wasn't sure what TO DO, couldn't relax for fear of doing wrong thing....More specifics on how one can lean, turn or shift weight, hand position on straps...would be helpful, but perhaps I'll venture To try again.....

What an experience... I have a fear of heights that I've developed with age... This is NOT scary, this is simply amazing. I felt completely safe and seeing the crystal clear blue water from a couple of hundred feet up in the air was unbelievable. It's quiet up in the air, extremely serene, you can take in the beauty of the cove, the reef and mountains in such a different way. 10 mins up in the air is actually a surprisingly long time - even when you skydive you generally hit the ground within a few minutes so this way you actually get to appreciate the view, with the adrenalin rush of leaving the boat and being so high, feet dangling! what makes these guys different is that they take A LOT of photos and they have a camera attached to the parachute - it's worth buying at the end - they're great quality. The team is fantastic... definitely want to go out with them again and try the other activities... thanks Seabreeze!!!

You won't have time to enjoy the scenery; it's incredibly thrilling!!! The height is the same as the main observation deck of Tokyo Tower…! Well… if you're looking for a unique experience that you can only get overseas, this is the best. Just be prepared if you're not a fan of heights, though it's not that bad for me. People with acrophobia should think carefully (laughs). Make sure to take motion sickness medication! Also, depending on the waves, it might be impossible to take photos or videos, so it's a good idea to prepare $30 to have the guy take pictures for you. Don't forget to tip. The photos turned out great◎ It might be worth experiencing at least once.
景色を見る余裕もなく、めちゃくちゃスリリング!!!
最高の高さは東京タワーの大展望台と同じ…!
まあ…海外ならではの経験を求めるならコレはベストだよ。
ただ高い所は嫌いじゃないけどあんまりな~…な人は覚悟した方がいい。
高所恐怖症の人はよく考えて(笑)
酔い止めは必ず!あと、写真やビデオカメラは波の荒れ方によっては撮影不可能だから30ドル用意してお兄さんに写真を撮ってもらうのがいいですよ。
チップも忘れずに。いい写真撮れてた◎
一度は経験してもいいかもね。

I was so glad i did it!! I was a bit nervous at first, only chose 600ft line. It was an amazing view, amazing weather, and felt very safe! My dad can't swim - doesn't usually get into the water and afraid of heights, but he himself loved it!! If we were in Hawaii another day, I would have done it again but upgraded to the full 1000ft! I also liked the fact that this company is very safe! They cancelled my first reservation due to high winds & I'm glad they did because the second reservation I made, the weather was PERFECT!! Beautiful skies, water was amazing, and we got to see whales! Loved every moment of it!! Felt so free!!

The staff on the boat mostly spoke English, but they occasionally spoke in Japanese to make sure we understood. After it was over, everyone applauded us, and we had a valuable experience. I would like to request this again for our next marine sports activity. Both the children and my grandmother were delighted. Thank you very much.

This was one of the highlights of my vacation. My husband and I booked this activity before we arrived in Oahu, and I was actually a little nervous about it as it got closer. But, I have to say--this was a ton of fun. The other couples in our group were quite a bit younger than us--we are in our late forties--but I think this activity would be OK for almost any age and level of mobility. The crew was professional and skilled on the water, and everything felt safe and secure. And the ride was fantastic! The crew took pictures of the whole event and the memory card was available for purchase at the end of the ride for $30. These are some of my favorite vacation pictures, and proof to our kids that we did it! The flight itself was gentle. You gained height steadily and the views were terrific. The crew brought you back down, gave you a quick dunk in the ocean and landed you back on the boat. Go ahead and do this!

As a first time parasailer, I thought it was AMAZING! I would totally go again and recommend that others go too. Hawaii Parasailing is awesome! The boat crew (Captain Jason and, darn it, I don't remember his name) and the shuttle driver were superb!!! They made everyone on the outing feel special and happy. As "bigger" girls, we were thrilled to get to ride together. I have to say that the office staff has something to be desired though. The girls were rude and condesending. I did not like dealing with them. But since we didn't have to deal with them too much it did not take away from the overall experience.

I participated with my 18-year-old daughter. We had a blast together!
Since I have a fear of heights, we chose the lowest option, but when we actually jumped, it didn't feel that high because the ocean was below us. However, the boats looked small, so it must have been quite a height.
The beautiful blue ocean surrounded us in a 360-degree panorama, and beyond that, we could see the streets of Waikiki. It was amazing!
Out of six groups, only two were Japanese, and we were able to take pictures together, which was great. We met a couple, Mr. O and his wife, for the first time on this tour, but later we coincidentally ran into them twice in Waikiki. The second time was at the hotel laundry. It was exciting to experience such coincidences because we participated in this tour.
There were various encounters, and it was a lot of fun!
18歳の娘とい一緒に参加しました。ふたりで大はしゃぎ♪
高所恐怖症なので、一番低いのにしましたが、実際飛んでみると、下が海なのでそれほど高いとも感じず、でも、ボートが小さく見えるので、かなりの高さだったんでしょうね。
きれいな青い海が一面、360度パノラマ状態で、その向こうにワイキキの街並みが見えて、最高☆
6組のうち2組だけが日本人で、写真を取り合いでき、良かったです。そのOさんご夫婦とは、このツアーではじめてお会いしたのですが、その後、ワイキキで二回も偶然お会いしました。二回目は、ホテルのランドリー。そんな偶然に興奮することができたのも、このツアーに参加したから。
いろんな出会いがあり、楽しいですよ♪

Before the experience, I read the reviews thoroughly and took motion sickness medication, so I didn't get seasick.
Regarding the tips, I had read that they should be paid on-site, so when I saw a paper in a visible spot on the boat saying "Please tip" in Japanese, I thought, "Ah, just like the reviews mentioned!" and was able to enjoy the experience comfortably.
However, the costs were higher than I expected, which made me a bit nervous when I saw others going up, but once it was my turn, all fear disappeared, and I genuinely had a great time. The staff offers to take photos for $30 for those who want them, but we decided to take turns with a nearby group of Japanese tourists. It was truly moving, so I highly recommend you try it!
体験にあたり、こちらのクチコミをよく読んでからのぞんだこともあり、酔い止め薬も飲んで行ったので船酔いはしませんでした。
チップについても、実は現地で払うようだということも読んでから行ったので、船のよく見えるところに「チップをお願いします」ということが日本語で書かれた紙が貼られているのをみても「あっクチコミに書いてあったとおりだ!」と思うくらいで、気持ちよく楽しんでくることができました。
ただ、思っていた以上に本当に高くあがるので、他の方があがっているのを見て少し緊張しましたが、自分の番になれば全然恐怖心も吹き飛び、心の底から楽しかったです。カメラは、スタッフの方が希望者に30ドルで撮影してくれるのですが、私達は隣の日本人のグループとお互いに取り合うことにしました。本当に感動できるので、ぜひ体験してみてください!

I participated with a friend. The view from the air was great, and we could see Diamond Head in its entirety. The wind felt nice, and it didn't feel too bumpy. Since we took off from the boat, I thought I wouldn't get wet today, but just then, we slowed down and I got splashed into the sea (laughs).
However, since we went out on a small boat that holds about a dozen people, it was quite rocky, and because we went in groups of 2-3, I think you would get really seasick if you don't take motion sickness medication while waiting.
Photos were $30, but not many people ordered them; instead, we took turns taking pictures with the others on board.
The staff were cheerful and fun, and I think this is a great activity for families. I want to do it again!
友達と2人で参加してきました。
空中では見晴らしがよく、ダイアモンドヘッドを一望出来ました。風が気持ちよく、あまり揺れている感じはしませんでした。ボートから飛び立つので、今日は濡れないな~と思った矢先、スピードを落として海に落っことされました(笑)
ただ、10数人乗りの小さな船で沖に出るので揺れが激しく、2~3人ずつ順番に行うので、酔い止めを飲んでおかないと待っている間にめちゃくちゃ酔うと思います。
写真は30ドルでしたがみんなあまり頼まずに、同乗している方達と写真を交代で取り合っていました。
スタッフの方も陽気で楽しく、家族連れにもってこいのアクティビティだと思いました。またやりたい!
