All Reviews for Water Sports in Waikiki

I experienced parasailing.

I was anxious due to my fear of heights, but up in the sky, it was calm, and I was very satisfied with the magnificent view. Since transportation is included, it's reassuring even for beginners in Hawaii. The total time is about 2 hours, so it doesn't interfere with other plans. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to sign up for this tour and recommend it to my friends.

However, there is one point to note. That is seasickness. I am prone to seasickness, so the rocking of the boat while others were parasailing was tough. Motion sickness medication is a must.

パラセーリングを体験してきました。


高所恐怖症のため不安がありましたが、空の上は穏やかで、壮大な景色にとても満足しました。
送迎付なので、ハワイ初心者でも安心です。
時間も正味２時間程度なので、他の予定の邪魔になりません。
またハワイに行く機会があればぜひ申し込みたいですし、友人にも紹介したいツアーです。

ただ、一つだけ注意点があります。
それは、船酔いです。
元々船酔いするタイプでしたので、他の方がパラセーリングしている間の船の揺れは辛かったです。
酔い止めの薬は必須です。

I took a surfing lesson using an extra-large surfboard, and I was able to stand up on my first try as if it were the most natural thing. The slogan is "Even beginners can stand up," so maybe that's to be expected, but it felt a bit too easy from the start, which was a bit of a letdown.

The lesson was just a 5-minute walk from the shop, and the 2 hours flew by. However, since we were learning right above a coral reef, I was really focused on not falling. My husband ended up injuring his foot.

But I was happy that we were able to get some photos taken. I thought the $30 for the CD was a reasonable price.

超特大のサーフボードを使ってのサーフィンレッスン、
当たり前のように沖に行って1度目で立てました。
「初めての人でも立てる」がうたい文句なので
仕方がないのかもしれないですけど、
なんだか初めから簡単すぎて拍子抜けでした。

レッスンはショップから徒歩5分の場所で
2時間はあっ~という間でしたが、
すぐ下にサンゴ礁がある上でのレッスンだったので、落ちたくない一心でした。
旦那は足にケガしてしまいました。

でも写真を撮ってもらえたので嬉しかったです。
CD代30ドルは良心的な価格だと思いました。

This was our ( my husband and myself) first Parasailing experience, and we'd do it again. Very fun, and also very relaxing. No worries, very safe. The crew was great and did a wonderful job with photographing us as well, which was most appreciated!

When you think of Hawaii, you think of surfing! So, I took my first challenge. Since the board is big, it's easy to balance and you'll be able to ride it quickly! The waiting time for waves can be long, so I recommend the intensive course because an hour and a half goes by in no time.

One thing to be careful about is that I accidentally forgot to put sunscreen on my legs, and I ended up with swelling and a bad experience, so don't forget it!

ハワイといえばサーフィン！ということで、初チャレンジしました。
大きいボードなのでバランスが取りやすくすぐに乗れるようになりますよ！
波待ちの時間が長いので、1時間半だとあっという間に時間が経ってしまうと思うので集中コースのほうがおすすめです。

気をつけてもらいたいのが、脚に日焼け止めを塗るのをうっかり忘れてしまい、腫れてひどい目に遭いましたのでお忘れなく。

We participated as a couple.
The view of Hawaii from above was beautiful.
They offer photo shoots for $15.
Everyone, including the guide, was a foreigner, and we were the only Japanese participants.

On the day of the event, the waves were quite high, and I ended up feeling a bit seasick at the end.

夫婦で参加しました。
上空からのハワイの景色がきれいでした。
１５ドルで写真撮影をしてくれます。
ガイドも含め全員外国人で日本人参加者は私たちのみでした。

当日かなり波が高く、最後少し船酔いしてしまいました。

This was our first time, both of us were just a little nervous at first, but after we were lifted up in the air we decovered how peaceful it was and we are looking forward to doing it again,

I experienced parasailing for the first time with my elementary school daughter. The wind was quite strong that day, so we swayed like a swing and didn't have much opportunity to enjoy the scenery. My daughter said she enjoyed the speed of the boat going out to sea more than the parasailing itself. We also took a photo of her splashing into the cold sea up to her waist, which became a nice memory. I paid $20 for the film and chips.

初めてのパラセイリングを小学生の娘と体験しました。
その日はかなり風が強くブランコのようにゆれたので、
景色を堪能する余裕はありませんでした。
娘はパラセイリングより、ボートが沖にでるまでのスピード感のほうが楽しかったと言っています。
冷たい海に腰までジャポン！とつかるところも写真に撮って
くれて、良い記念になりました。
フィルムとチップで＄20支払いました。

This ride is sooooo much fun. Anyone can do it. Don't think you are too skinny or too fat. Either way you are getting a great ride. We even saw a guy that weighed 290 ride with a guy who was 240. Over 500 pounds and up they went like they were butterflies. The day we went the waves were choppy and it caused a little sea sickness for a couple of us but other than that we had an outstanding time.Our group had teens, 20's, 40's and 50's. Everyone screamed for joy. It was a great time.

We reluctantly participated at the children's request. Perhaps because it was fully booked with a capacity of 12 people, our family of three was sent up all at once. I was worried about exceeding the weight limit, but it turned out to be fine. The parasailing was fun, but since we were sent up in a sort of assembly line manner, I had some doubts about whether this is how it usually is... It's important to check the time slots for reservations.

子供たちの希望でやむなく参加しました。定員１２名の満席状態だったせいか、私たち家族は３名一度に飛ばされました。重量オーバーにならないか心配でしたが、なんとか大丈夫でした。パラセイルは楽しかったのですが、流れ作業的に飛ばされたのでこんなものなのかと少々疑問が。。。
申し込みの時間帯、要チェックです。

I personally have no problem with roller coasters, but I screamed a lot during this parasailing. The height was much higher than I had imagined, and the view was really great. They take a few photos for about $25 on the boat, so I definitely think you should have them take your pictures (you'll get the film).

私自身、絶叫マシーンはぜんぜん大丈夫なのですが、このパラセイリングはとても絶叫しました。
高さも想像していたよりもかなり高く、景色も非常によかったです。
船内で25ドルくらいで写真を数枚撮ってくれるので、絶対に撮ってもらったほうがいいと思います。（撮影したフィルムをもらえます）

Kids (aged 14 and 15) went up while my 11 year old and I rode along. Seas were a little choppy, but not horrible, yet I still got a little motion sickness. The crew took awesome care of me and showed genuine concern. They took nice photo's of the experience (not of me, thanks) for the kids to enjoy. Huge success for the kids, but if you think you might get the least bit of a queasy stomach, take a pill before boarding! :)

My 15 year old son and I had an awesome time and would love to go again! Everything went well, from the online registration to on site check in to the parasailing itself. What really made the trip for us were the two guys that ran the show. They were friendly, polite and put you at ease right away. They totally made the experience. We got the photos and are so glad we did - they turned out great and captured the experience even better than we hoped.

The boater was kind of rude because he intentionally indirectly exaggerated on tips. I thought I paid enough for the ride but well..

I was really scared to do this but my 14 year old son wanted to try it. The staff is so friendly and helpful, and professional with the equipment. They are also really funny and nice. They tell you exactly what you need to do. It was fabulous! We had the best time, and loved the experience. The crew is great. They will even take pictures for you for an extra fee of $15 (you take the film home.) Don't forget to bring money for a tip. You don't really need the extra towels, change of clothes, and you can buy water there. If I return to Hawaii I will do this again!

One of the most enjoyable activities that we did while we were in Hawaii! My eight year old daughter loved it and wants to go again. The boat crew was fun and very safety conscience. Highly recommended for everyone: Don't miss out!

My daughter and her friend parasailed and my husband and I were observers. The girls had a great time and the staff was great! This is the second time we have used Extreme Parasailing and we would definitely use it again. I highly recommend them if you want to parasail in beautiful Oahu!

This was the biggest challenge of my trip as someone with a fear of heights. Until it was my turn, I was so scared that I felt like crying. However, once I took off into the sky, I was moved by the beauty of the scenery that I could never see from the ground. I'm glad I decided to try it. Also, the staff was good and didn't insist on tips.

高所恐怖症の私の、今回の旅最大のチャレンジでした☆
自分の番になるまでは、怖くて怖くて泣きだしそうでした。
しかし、いざ空へ旅立つと、地上からは決して観ることのできない景観の美しさに感動しました。
思い切ってTRYして良かったと思っています。
また、チップもしつこく要求されなくてスタッフの対応もGOODでした(*^。^*)

These guys are pro! Had an awesome dive, saw tons of fish, the weather was perfect, I couldn't ask for more. Thanks so Aaron and crew for making our experience truly amazing.

I went on a trip with my family to Hawaii for our wedding ceremony, and my sister insisted on doing parasailing as a memorable experience, so I decided to join. To be honest, I’m really not good with roller coasters and had no idea what to expect, so I was extremely nervous.

On the day of the event, I was anxiously waiting, but the pickup was delayed by about ten minutes, which made me uneasy.

We got on the boat and headed out to sea, wearing life jackets... and then it was our turn!!!

However, with every rise into the sky, my anxiety disappeared, and I felt an incredible sense of joy and excitement!

It was the best feeling. I chose the standard course, but I think I would have enjoyed going higher.

If my sister hadn’t invited me, I probably wouldn’t have had this experience in the future, so I’m really glad I did it.

I would definitely want to do it again if I have the chance.

ハワイに挙式を兼ねて家族と旅行にいくので、
思い出にと妹がどうしもしたいというパラセイリングを
しようと決意して参加しました。
実は、ジェットコースターが大の苦手でどんなものか
わからずものすごいドキドキしていました。

当日、ドキドキしながら待っていてもなかなか迎えが
こなくて不安でしたが１０分くらい遅れて迎えにきて
くれました。

ボートで海に出てライフジャケットを着て・・
着た~あたしたちの番が~!!!

でも、不安が空に上がるたびに消え、
すご~い！めっちゃ楽しい！という気持ちに変わりました。

気分は最高でした。
スタンダードコースにしましたが、もっと高くでも
よかったと思いました。

妹に誘われなかったら、この先たぶん
することもなかった体験ができてすごくよかったです。

また機会があれば絶対にしたいです。

I participated with my middle school daughter and our family of three. I was quite worried about our physical stamina, but once we decided to join, the instructions were very kind and easy to understand, which quickly dispelled my anxiety. It was definitely a plus that everything was conducted in Japanese. Our whole family was able to stand on the board, and we even had a video taken. It became a wonderful memory for our family.

中学生の娘と家族３人で参加しました。
体力的にも、だいぶ心配がありましたが、
思い切って参加してみると、とても親切にわかりやすく
説明していただけて、不安もすぐに吹き飛びました。
やはり、日本語で出来たのが良かったです。
家族全員ボードに立つことができ、ビデオも撮影してもらえました。家族の良い思い出になりました。

Hi were posting another review. Book this activity!!!!!! You'll have such an awesome time. The shuttle ride the staff, and the location is great. Couldn't ask for a better time.

A close friend and I decided that we would each pick an event while visiting Oahu for 5 days. She wanted to do something under the ocean, and I wanted to do something OVER the ocean. After our parasailing trip, we both were AMAZED at how much fun and relaxing it was.

The staff were extremely helpful and comforting when it came to loading/unloading passengers, and they asked everyone if they wanted a brief "dip" towards the end of the flight. (You never get fully submerged in the ocean with the 'dip' but just get a little wet from the waist down.. it is WORTH IT). Everyone on the boat had a blast and on our way back to shore it started pouring rain.. which I LOVED. It was the epitome of a Hawaiian vacation. 82 degree weather and pouring rain with a rainbow.

As for the flight itself, it was extremely relaxing and the views were spectacular. I wouldn't have originally thought that flying 42 stories high would be soothing, but it was. VERY romantic idea for couples.

Overal

Thank you so much for my surfing experience! Four days was definitely not enough for me and I miss it already. You all were so kind and helpful. This was, by far, the best surfing experience I've had in all my attempts to learn. Because of that, I'm planning on picking up some classes out here in California once the weather gets better. So hopefully by the time I return next year, I'll be on a much smaller board =). You guys are awesome!

My two hours with Mito were such a highlight of my time on Oahu I am telling lots of people who are going to the islands that this is a "must do" activity. We had so much fun together and I actually was able to stand, sort of. I have balance problems and thought this was something I would try and enjoy, no expectation of success. I am still not the best in the balance arena, but I did stand on two feet without hands--an accomplishment for me and a credit to Mito's skill as a teacher.

Awesome Awesome Awesome. We would do this again. I would highly recommend this activity.

My girlfriend and I truly enjoyed the actual activity even if it was shorter than adverstised. We booked the Deluxe Parasailing which is supposed to last from 8-10 minutes and it only lasted less than 6 minutes...That I can live with, what I truly find upseting is the fact that the tour guide decided to make several political comments about Arizona's illegal immigration laws, and the governement. Regardless of where you stand on certain political issues; individuals representing Xtreme Parasailing should keep in mind that they're providing a fun and hospitable environment for their customers, expressing your opinion on a hot button political issue can create disagreements and while debating is the foundation of democracy, parasailing is certainly the wrong place and the wrong time to do it. I can speak for about 3 additional individuals who shared similar comments once the ride was over.

I participated with a friend.
Besides us, there was one couple and a group of four, all of whom were foreigners.
At first, they explained everything in English really quickly, and I couldn't understand what they were saying, but when it was our turn, they explained it in broken Japanese, so it was fine.
Once we were up, all we could hear was the sound of the wind.
It felt incredible to be floating in the sky.
The view was amazing!!
I couldn't participate much in the conversation since I don't speak much English, but when my friend got seasick and I told the staff, everyone else was worried too.
One girl in the group of four was really scared and kept saying, "I don't want to do this!!!" until the last minute, but we all encouraged her, and in the end, it seemed like she had a lot of fun.
I saw in reviews that it was better to have photos taken ($15), so I requested it.
I'm really glad I did!☆

友人と２人で参加しました。
私たち以外は、ご夫婦１組と、４人組のグループで、
全員外国人の方でした。
なので、最初ばーっと英語で説明してて、
何言ってるのかわかんなかったんですが、
私たちの番になったら、片言ですが日本語で説明してくれて、
問題ありませんでした。
あがってからは、風の音しかしません。
空に浮いてる感じがなんともいえません。
景色も最高です!!
あまり英語が話せないので、会話にはちょっとしか参加できませんでしたが、
私の友人が船酔いしてしまい、スタッフにそれを伝えたら、
他のみんなも心配してくれてました。
４人グループ内の１人の女の子も、
ぎりぎりまで「やりたくない！！！」
と、かなり怖がっていましたが、みんなで励まして、
結局はかなり楽しかった様子で帰って行きました。
口コミで、写真($15)は撮ってもらったほうがいいと
皆さん書かれてたので、頼みました。
ほんと撮ってもらってよかったです☆

I had a great time learning how to stand up paddle surf. The instructors are really good at what they do, and they make sure that you are comfortable going out into the ocean. Stand up paddling is a really good workout, because you are paddling, as well as, keeping your balance. You are getting a workout, but you are having a lot of fun, which makes the time and exercise fly by.

Surfing was awesome!!! It was really great. However, I was sore all over for a week afterward...

サーフィンさいこーーーーー！！！
とてもよかったです。
けど、終わった後一週間は全身筋肉痛。。。

My six year old daughter surfed! We all did! We all got up and we have the videotape to prove it! This was our first activity on our first day and it set a trend of quality that stayed throughout our trip. These surfers are great teachers, assistants, advisors, helpers, and just plain nice.

I can't recommend anywhere more than this school.
