All Reviews for Water Sports in Waikiki

We had a great time on our parasail trip. The crew was excellent; fun and professional. Highly recommend to anyone who would like to get out in the ocean for some fun!

One thing though, if you have a sensitive stomach, don't forget the motion sickness pills - the water was a bit choppy the morning we went.

Mahalo for the great time!!!

Apparently I was affraid of diving, but didn't know until I was already in the water with the gear on. But the instructor was vere understanding and did the things in my pace. Actually he held my hand during the entire dive. I've definetly overcome my fear of diving and enjoyed the fish and turtles. Absolutely magnificent.

I heard about parasailing and thought, "It sounds fun since you go to a high place," so I casually signed up. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations before going. However, once I actually did it, I was amazed! It was incredibly fun!!

Being up so high and having the stunning view of Hawaii stretching to the horizon was exhilarating! I definitely recommend this to anyone who hasn't tried it yet.

However, the boat sways a lot, so seasickness is a must... Don't forget to bring motion sickness medication.

パラセイリングと聞いて「高い所に行くから楽しそうだな~」と気軽に申し込んでみたものの、行く前まではあまり期待大ではなかったのが正直なところです。しかし実際にやってみて感動！めちゃくちゃ楽しいです！！
こんなに高い所に生身で上がれて、かつ景色が抜群にいいハワイが水平線まで見渡せるという状況に興奮しっぱなし！！
これは間違いなくまだやったことない人にはお勧めです。

しかし、船がとても揺れるので、船酔いは必須。。酔い止め薬は忘れずに。

This was a repeat activity for us so obviously we like it before. It is surprisingly peaceful once you are up in the air and the views are spectacular. I like to stick my arms out a la Superman; I figure this is the closest I'll ever get to feeling like I'm flying. The only negative is my wife didn't care for it the last time, so she just went as an observer (rides in the boat but doesn't parasail). She loves the boat ride so that works for her, but the crew doesn't let anyone go up solo so if you don't have a partner, you end up going up with some stranger. The crew is good at what they do and are very safety conscious.

I participated with my husband’s parents and our family of three. Since there were three of us, I thought we would split into two and one, but we were able to ride together as a group of three. My fifth-grade daughter was scared, but it seems she had a lot of fun. The view from high up was amazing, and we were moved to see all of Waikiki. My husband’s parents, who are celebrating their 60th birthday, were also very happy. For $25, we had about 260 photos taken with 2GB of storage. They turned out really well, and I’m glad we bought them. Since it was for five people, I think we got a particularly large number of photos. While we were on the boat, we also encountered a turtle. We were able to see a ray dancing around as well. It was a lot of fun.

主人の両親と家族３人で参加しました。
３人だったので、２人と１人になるのかと思っていましたが３人で一緒に乗らせてもらいました。
５年生の娘は怖がっていましたが、とても楽しかったみたいです。とても高くワイキキが一望出来て感動でした。
還暦の主人のご両親も、すごく喜んでいました。
２５ドルで、２ＧＢに写真を２６０枚ほど撮っていただきました。とてもよく撮れていて、買ってよかったです。
５人分だったので、特に枚数が多かったと思います。
船に乗っているときに、亀にも遭遇しました。
エイもくるくる踊っている所も見ることが出来ました。
とても、楽しかったです。

It was fun and felt like a resort, but since six groups were boarding, we were swaying for over an hour, and the seasickness was intense. Almost everyone got sick. Moreover, we were the sixth group out of six, and when we took off, I felt nauseous and nervous, so my condition was at its worst.

However, once we actually took off, it felt really good, and there was absolutely no fear, so my boyfriend, who has a fear of heights, seemed to enjoy it. But whether we actually flew to the specified height, I couldn't tell at all from a layman's perspective! (laughs)

At the end, we bought the photos taken by the instructor, but they didn't give us our change back. Even though we gave a tip separately...

リゾート気分で楽しいのですが、
6組が乗り込むので1時間以上揺られるため、
船酔いが半端ないです。
ほとんど全員が酔ってました。
しかも私達は6組中の6番目で、
飛ぶときには気持ち悪さと緊張で、
もうコンディションは最悪でした。

ただ実際に飛んでみるととても気持ちよく、
怖さなどもまったくないので、
高所恐怖症の彼氏も楽しそうでした。
でも指定の高さまで飛ばしてくれていたかは、
素人目ではまったく分かりません！笑

最後にインストラクターの方が撮ってくれた写真を買うのですが、
お釣りを返してくれませんでした。
チップも別で渡したのに・・・

I rode with my husband, daughter, and grandchildren. I was very scared before getting on, but after we went up, it felt great, and the view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sea was wonderful. The staff's response was also enjoyable, making it a great memory.

主人と娘や孫と乗りました。乗る前はとても怖かったですが、上がった後はとても気持ち良く、海からワイキキの浜とダイヤモンドヘッドが臨めて素晴らしかったです。スタッフの対応も楽しく良い思い出になりました。

When I participated, there were seven foreigners and four Japanese people. There was also an explanation in Japanese, and I had a lot of fun. If you pay an additional $30, the staff over there will take photos with their camera. They gave me the photos along with an SD card. I think it's a good deal since I got 140 photos with a 2GB card. It seems that it’s also possible for three people, as the foreign guests were a couple with a child.

私が参加した時は外国人７人と日本人４人でした。
日本語の説明もあり、かなり楽しめました。
オプションで３０ドル払うと、向こうのスタッフのカメラで写真をとってくれます。
その写真はＳＤカードごとくれました。２Ｇのカード付で１４０枚も写真をとってもらえたので、お得だと思います。
外国の方は夫婦＋子供で３人で飛んでいたので、３人も可能なようです。

I tried parasailing for the first time with him. At first, the staff told us, "Not this boat! That one!" and it was quite chaotic. In the end, we were able to get on the boat, but it felt a bit invasive.

Parasailing was so much fun! Due to the weather, only two groups, including us, were able to fly... but we were lucky to be the last ones to board the boat despite our packed schedule!

I was nervous until we took off, but the beautiful view of Waikiki and the round rainbow we saw when looking down were amazing!

Since we understood English, we were able to enjoy it, but it might be a bit inconvenient for those who don't speak English. They speak quickly, and I think you might wonder what they are saying.

I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication.

It became a really great memory!☆

彼と一緒に始めてパラセイリングをしてみました。
はじめにスタッフの人に
“こっちの船じゃない！あっちだ！”
と追いやられ、てんやわんやでした。
結局船には乗せてもらえましたがちょっと侵害でした。

パラセイリングはとっても楽しかったです！
お天気の関係で私たちを含めて２組しか飛べませんでしたが…予定びっしりの私たちが一番最後に船に乗り込めてラッキーでした！

飛ぶまではどきどきでしたが、ワイキキのきれいな景色と、なんといっても下を見下ろしたときに見れた丸い虹は最高でした！

英語がわかる私たちだったので楽しめましたが、
英語がわからないとちょっと不便です。
早口ですし、何言ってるのかなぁ？って思ってしまうと思います。

酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。


とっても良い思い出になりました☆

This was my fifth time going to Hawaii, but it was my first time parasailing. The time spent in the air is about 10 minutes, but the motorboat moves quickly, and it's fun because you can also enjoy whale watching while you're on it. Up in the sky, the movement is slow, so from below, it looks like you're going quite high, but it's not scary at all. There was no shaking either. I want to do it again.

ハワイに行くのは5回目でしたが、パラセイリングは初めてでした。上空にいる時間は10分ぐらいですが、モーターボートは進むのが早く、ホエールウォッチングも兼ねて乗っていられるので楽しいです。空の上では進むのがゆっくりので、下から見ていると結構高くまで上がっているのですが、全く恐くありません。揺れもありませんでした。もう一度やりたいです。

It was an exciting activity that I was nervous to participate in, but I'm glad I did! The time spent in the air felt like it was over in an instant, and it didn't even seem like 10 minutes. It was a surreal experience, especially with airplanes flying nearby! Additionally, on the way to the parasailing point, I even got to see whales! I felt like I got a bonus with the whale watching. I highly recommend it!

どきどきして参加したアクテビティでしたが、参加してよかったです！
空中にいる時間はあっという間で、１０分も無い感じでしたが、
近くを飛行機が飛んでいたり、非日常的な不思議な体験でした！
また、パラセイルのポイントまで行く間にくじらも見れました！！
ホエールウォッチングまで出来てなんだか得した気分です。
ぜひおすすめです。

I've lived in Waikiki for the last 5 years, a block from beach, and watched the para-sailers every day. It was always on my to do list but I never made the time. After finally doing it, I wish I had done it sooner! It's such a fun and beautiful experience. Not only do you get to parasail, you get the boat ride and the view of Waikiki from the ocean! We also saw whales jumping which was really the icing on the cake. Being able to float above Waikiki was scenic and peaceful and a rush, all at the same time. The crew is very talented and a make the experience fun as well. What an amazing feeling as you lift off the back of the boat and gently float up. A must do!

This was my first time parasailing. We took the 800 foot flight and enjoyed a good 10 minutes in the air. The view was amazing the the crew was very friendly. A Must Do.

The feeling when you suddenly ascend from the boat is amazing! Even up in the sky, it was much more stable and safe than I expected! The instructor was unique, and even if you can't speak English, it's okay! They take photos for $15, which I also recommend!

船から、一気に上昇する時の気分は最高！空の上でも、思ったより全然安定していて安全でした！インストラクターの外人さんもユニークで、英語ができなくても、大丈夫！＄１５で写真を撮ってくれるので、それもお勧めです！

It was a bit cold on the day, but it was a wonderful experience. The view from over the sea was amazing. However, the photos I opted for didn't turn out very well. I guess it's because they were taken from far away...

当日は少し寒かったけれど、素敵な体験でした。
海の上から眺める景色は最高です。
ただ、オプションで申し込んだ写真はあまりよく映っていませんでした。
遠いから仕方ないのかな・・・・。

It was incredibly pleasant!
Seeing Hawaii from above and taking a leisurely sky walk with a parachute was the best!! Since children were also participating, I recommend it for families too!

すんごく気持ちよかったです！
ハワイを上空から見下ろせてパラシュートでゆっくりと空中散歩ができて最高でした！！お子様も参加されていたので、ファミリーにもおすすめです！

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the parasailing. It was a tremendously relaxing feeling for both of us. We took the 1000 ft. line and would do it again. Captain Duncan and crewman Kevin were both jovial and attentive to detail. Felt safe at all times.

I highly recommend buying the pictures.

The crew was much better then expected. They were very helpful and attentive.

I went with high expectations, but if you are prone to seasickness, please be careful.

It's definitely better to take motion sickness medication.

The staff is accustomed to dealing with Japanese customers, so there are no issues.

I also noticed an interesting policy at the reception where customers who cause trouble pay an extra $10.

I thought it would be nice to experience it at least once, so I encourage everyone to give it a try.

期待をして、行きましたが船酔いをする人は気をつけてください。

必ず、酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいです。

スタッフは日本人の対応にも慣れていて問題ありません。

迷惑をかけた、客は10ドル多めに払うという面白い内容も受付でみうけました。

一回、体験できればいいと思いましたが是非、皆さん一度は体験してみてください。

We went on our Honeymoon and this was one of the activities that we have done. If this is your first time surfing, don't fret. The staff are professional and they teach you all the basics. Opt for the private lessons because if you are tired from paddling, the instructor can help you back to the waves hence more opportunity for you to keep on practicing to get better. The photographer was great as well as he managed to capture some great photos and you can get them all in a disc which was nice. Highly recommended...

My sister and I went surfing for the first time and had a blast! Cherry and Carol were awesome and put us in as many waves as possible. Girls Who Surf will be on my list of things to do the next time I'm in Oahu! I would recommend Girls Who Surf to anyone looking for a safe, fun time!!!!!

I live in Hawaii half the time.

My friend is coming to Hawaii and wants to try surfing, so I signed up for lessons. I can ride the waves, but I don't have the skill or stamina to teach, so I signed up for my friend's sake.

In reality, surfing has its own competition for waves (territory?), but here, you can take lessons at a long-established place with no complaints.

No matter which instructor you get, most people are able to stand up on the board, and if there are any who haven't yet, they focus on helping them, which I think is very considerate.

半分ハワイに在住してます。

お友達がハワイに来るのに際して、サーフィンをやりたいということで申し込みました。
自分は波乗りをするのですが教えるほどの技量や体力がないので友達の為に申し込みました。

実際にサーフィンは波取り合戦が（縄張り？）があるので、ここは老舗で文句なしの状態でレッスンを受けれます。

どの先生にあたっても、ほとんどの人が立てますし、まだ立ててない人がいると集中的に手伝ってくれたりと、かなり良心的だと思います。

My family of 5 had a blast parasailing. The staff were great and made the experience a lot of fun. The time in the boast went by so fast but when I was up in the air, the time seemed to stand still. The ride is very peaceful and the views are outstanding. I didn't even mind the dunk in the ocean on our way down to the boat.
The value of the activities was very high, especially considering the discounted price we received at Hawaii Activities.

I set the height to the lowest setting, but I was able to enjoy a beautiful view of the very high and stunning sea!

The staff made an effort to communicate important information in Japanese, so I felt at ease even though they were not Japanese.

私は高さを一番低いものに設定したのですが
とても高くてきれいな海を一望できました！！

スタッフの方は大切なところはちゃんと日本語で
伝えようとしてくれたので、スタッフが日本人でなくても
あんしんでした★

This was the first time parasailing for me and my brother and it won't be our last. It was awesome. Captain Aaron and Hector were so cool and they made the boat ride out a lot of fun. Seeing the island from up in the air was so amazing. The pictures came out great and we were glad we had them take them. It was well worth it.

It wasn't scary and was enjoyable. Two very cheerful guys efficiently took turns guiding us. On the contrary, they might not have been annoying, but they confidently asked for tips. It was $20 for the two of us. Just for your reference...

怖くもなく楽しめました。とっても明るいお兄さん２人がてきぱきと順番に飛ばしてくれます。逆に嫌味がないのかもしれませんが、堂々とチップを求められました。２人で２０ドルでした。ご参考までに…。

It wasn't my first time paragliding, so I was relaxed and not nervous, but once I went up, it was higher than I imagined, and instead of feeling good, I was scared. My husband enjoyed it.

パラセーリングは初めてではなかったので、緊張もなくリラックスして乗りましたが、いざ上にあがると想像した以上に高くて、気持ちいいはずが怖かったです。
夫は楽しんでいました。

A little nervous at first. Would have liked to go first and have time enjoying the boat ride. Overall the staff was very cool and fun while staying safety aware. A great time!!!

I can't swim very well, but I want to try surfing!! So, I participated in a lesson with Hands Heedman Hawaii Local Surfing Lessons☆

The instructor taught us patiently in both Japanese and English at the office, and we practiced exactly as we were taught during the two sessions.

Once we got into the water, if I couldn't paddle well, they would pull me along, which really reduced my fear.

I highly recommend this for beginners♪

ほとんど泳げないけど、サーフィンをやってみたい！！
ということで、ハンズ・ヒーデマン ハワイローカルサーフィン・レッスンのレッスンに参加☆

オフィスで日本語と英語で丁寧にインストラクターの方が教えてくれ、２回実際に教えてもらった通りに練習。

海にはいってからも、うまくパドリングできないときは、ひっぱってくれたり、怖さが半減しました。

初心者の方にもおすすめです♪

Out of this world! Everything and more than what we had hoped. Certainly an activity for all ages, young and old.
