Our 17, 15, and 12 year old all had a great experience. All of them got up several times and are very glad they did it. Two of the kids wore short sleeve shirts and wish they wore long sleeve as they both had quite a rash on the arm from rubbing against the board.

Reviewed by: Sara

I was so nervous before embarking on my parasailing adventure, but the friendly staff made me feel at ease and the experience was so much more than I could have asked for. Being in the air over the open sea with a full view of the island was so serene. I look forward to doing it again, next time I'm on the island!

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

Awesome ride! Very enjoyable

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This experience was sooo much fun. Our guides dipped us in the water and also slid us across the water which was really cool. The staff was excellent, but I only wish they let us go up higher and for longer because we were only up in the air for about 5 min. But other than that, it was really fun and highly recommended.

x-treme parasailing

Reviewed by: skeen

Parasailing is fun. x-treme parasailing was not worth the added expense. We saw no difference in the duration of the ride. In fact other riders who did not pay for extreme were given equal and/or better experiences. (ie..same duration and being dunked, also boat pulling them). Honestly, we felt a bit cattled through the process. Would parasail again, but not the x-treme parasailing. Save the added money for something else!

Greetings from California!

Parasailing for the first time was amazing! My friend Jasmine and I didn't know what to expect and we were definately pleased with our parasailing adventure, friendliness of the staff, and overall experience! The motion of the ocean unfortunately did get to Jasmine, so here's some advice to those who get motion sickness - bring the Dramamine! Other than that, no complaints from us! We highly recommend X-treme parasailing!!!

サーフィン・レッスン　アラモアナ・ビーチ･パーク　3歳から参加できる！ by サーフHNL

As expected of Hawaii! さすがハワイ！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Since the children participated, my child was in a private session while I was in a semi-private session, with two instructors for the three of us. We booked a full three hours, but unlike surfing in Japan, the waves kept coming, and in the end, we could only last an hour and a half. It felt quite wasteful. Perhaps because we were experienced, the briefing on land was shorter? The kids were able to ride the waves that kept coming and seemed to feel great when praised. When I called to confirm our arrival, I received a confirmation call that evening. They asked for our weights, so I thought they would prepare boards suited for each of us, but all three of us ended up with soft tops (urethane boards). While they have buoyancy, I wonder if they might not be suitable for practice. The point is that from the yacht harbor next to the Hilton Rainbow Tower, even children can paddle out easily, so I think beginners and kids can participate without any trouble. The instructors didn't speak any Japanese, so if we had been better at English, our conversations would have flowed more, and it would have been even more enjoyable.

子供も参加したので、子供はプライベート、私はセミプライベートでの参加でしたが、インストラクター2人に私たち親子3人という形でした。たっぷり3時間予約しましたが、日本でのサーフィンとちがいどんどん波がくるので、結局1時間半しか体力が持ちませんでした。かなりもったいなかったです。経験者ということもあり、陸でのブリーフィングも短めだったのでしょうか？子供たちはどんどん来る波に乗って行き、誉められとても気分がよかったようです。到着確認の電話をしたらその晩に確認電話がありました。体重を聞かれたので、それぞれにあったボードを用意してくれるのかと思ったら、3人ともソフトップ（ウレタンボード）でした。浮力はあるのですが、練習にはならないかも？と思います。ポイントは、ヒルトンレインボータワー横のヨットハーバーから子供でも十分パドルアウトできるので、初心者、子供さんでもらくらく参加でくるとおもいます。インストラクターは日本語はまったくしゃべれないので、私たちがもっと英語ができたら会話もはずんで、もっと楽しかったでしょうね。

This was a wonderful opportunity to get a different perspective on Hawaii. It was very peaceful floating above the bay and looking at Honolulu and Diamond Head. It was our first time parasailing. The crew made it very relaxing and stressed safety. We enjoyed dunking our feet in the ocean, before we landed on the boat. It was well worth having them take the pictures for us. They turned out really well, much better than if we had tried to take pictures ourselves. We would definitely do this activity again.

I went surfing for the first time. I wasn't very enthusiastic at first since a friend invited me, but after trying it, I completely fell in love with it. The instructor was quite strict, but I participated in a group and was able to stand up on the board in just one or two hours, so I'm grateful for that. It was so much fun that I definitely want to participate again!

Reviewed by: うにBOY

An 8-year-old child participated. Last year, when they took a lesson at Honolulu Beach for about 40 minutes, they could only kneel. However, this year, they received a solid 2-hour lesson and were surprisingly good at riding the waves. They even became capable of timing their own rides. The next day, I had a little time, so I took a lesson at Honolulu Beach again. The price was the same at $75 for an hour, but the quality of the content was completely different. This is an activity I highly recommend. I want to participate again next year.

8歳の子供が参加しました。
去年、40分ほどホノルルビーチで教えているレッスンを受けたときは、ひざまずくぐらいしか出来なかったのですが、今年は2時間しっかりと教えていただき、びっくりするほど上手に波に乗れていました。
しかも自分でﾀｲﾐﾝｸﾞを考えれるくらいになりました。
次の日、少し時間が取れたので、ホノルルビーチのレッスンを受けたのですが、1時間75ドルで金額的には変わらなかったのですが、内容の充実度が全然違いました。
とてもお勧めできるアクティビティーです。
来年又、参加したいです。

Our overall experience was great. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The boat ride was very smooth and fun. The parasailing liftoff/landing was very gentle and easy from the back of the boat.

You have the option of getting dunked, which we did, and it was a blast.

There ws another family on the boat with us that 1/2 didnot want to get dunked and the other 1/2 just wanted to get their feet wet; our driver was so good that he dunked them just to their ankles; it was a perfect feet dunk.

Great time surfing with Ivan!

Reviewed by: Julia & Cole

I had surfed a few times before with previous lessons but never with this company. My boyfriend had never surfed before. We were picked up more or less on time by the driver, driven to the surf shop, and introduced quickly to our teacher, Ivan, a lovely man who has lived in Oahu over 20 years. He gave us our gear, including two massive boards that we toted to the beach. We then had a lesson on the sand for about 15 minutes, then out to sea!
We enjoyed the surfing, though I was a bit afraid of the waves and thus Ivan toned it down until I was confident. Once I was, though, he took us out to where regulars were surfing, and we did more or less okay!
Our lesson was 2 hours long, and we are both in 8 out of 10 shape, but were both POOPED by then end - so I recommend that you keep the lesson length in mind with your own fitness!
I absoultely recommend no more than 2 or at most 3 people to an instructor so that noone holds the group back.
Ivan was a nice man and I felt he was low k

Parasailing with children. 子供と一緒にパラセイル

I participated with my 8-year-old and 10-year-old daughters and my husband. Since it was their first experience, my daughters said they were scared at first. However, my 10-year-old had a lot of fun once it started. My 8-year-old had a tense expression until the end and said, "I don't want to do this anymore!" As for me, I had done this about 15 years ago, and back then, when riding with two people, the person in the back had to spread their legs wide, which was very embarrassing for me. This time, since we rode like on a two-person swing, I didn't have to spread my legs and was able to enjoy a conversation while looking at my children's faces. Because it was a two-person ride, those who participated alone were riding with strangers. There was a white boy and a Japanese girl riding together, but they were silent. I think it would be fine for those who are okay with that...

８歳、１０歳の娘と私、夫で参加しました。
娘達は初めての経験だったので最初怖いと言ってました。

I tried surfing for the first time, and amazingly, I was able to stand up on my first attempt! We practiced very easily on land at first, but the staff who spoke Japanese explained everything clearly, so I understood well. I participated in a private lesson, and the instructor read the good waves and gave me encouragement, allowing me to ride waves that I wouldn't have been able to manage on my own! The rainbow over the waves is a must-see☆ There are quite a few rocks hidden under the waves, so be careful of injuries. Also, my feet got scraped by the board and it hurt. I highly recommend private lessons!

初めてサーフィンをしましたが、なんと1発目で立つ事ができました！！始めに陸上でほんとうに簡単に練習をしただけでしたが、日本語を話せるスタッフがきちんと説明をしてくれたので、よく理解もできました。プライベートレッスンに参加したのですが、インストラクターが良い波を読んでくれて掛け声をかけてくれたので、1人では乗れないような波にも乗ることができました！波の裏側にかかる虹は必見です☆結構波の下に岩が隠れているので、怪我には要注意です。あと、足もボードで擦れて痛かったです。レッスンはプライベートがオススメです！

First parasailing experience. 初のパラセイル

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We experienced parasailing for the first time as a family of four, despite some rain and wind. The standard course was about 150 meters, which was sufficient for beginners. Although the rain made it difficult to see the scenery clearly, we were generally satisfied. However, my wife and our two children (16 and 19 years old) were excited at first but seemed to get nauseous from the rain and wind, and they felt quite unwell. They even slept for a while after we returned to the hotel. Those who are sensitive to boats might need to be cautious.

The person who picked us up didn't seem very friendly, but the young lady at the local reception was pleasant.

少し雨風があるなか、家族４人で初のパラセイルを体験。
スタンダードコースの約１５０Ｍでしたが初心者には充分でした。
雨が多少降っていましたので、景観はいまいちよく見えませんでしたが、まあ満足。
ただ、妻・子供２人（１６歳と１９歳）ともはじめははしゃいでいましたが、雨風に酔ったらしく、かなり気分が悪くなったようです。
ホテルに戻ってからもしばらく寝ていました。
船に弱い人、宵止めが必要かも・・。

Tandem parasailing タンデムパラセール

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

This was my second time parasailing, and this time I participated with my wife and our two children, making it a group of four. Since we could ride tandem, the kids were able to join safely, which I really appreciated. If we had gone solo, it wouldn't have been possible with small children. At first, the kids were a bit nervous, but as we ascended and they got used to it, they were able to take in the surrounding scenery. Experiences like this are rare, so the kids were really excited. I'm truly glad we participated.

　パラセールは２度目で、今回は、子ども２人と家内の４人で参加しました。タンデムで乗れるので子どもも安心して乗ることができ、本当によかったと思います。シングルでは、小さな子どもがいる場合には、参加できませんからね。子どもたちは、初めのうちは緊張していたのですが、上昇し、なれてくると周りの景色を見る余裕もできてきました。このような経験はほとんどできないので子どもたちは、興奮していました。本当に参加してよかったと思います。

First surfing 初サーフィン

Reviewed by: えみ

It was also featured in the Camp Camp Ebi-chan Hawaii book, but personally, I found it a bit disappointing. It's true that it seems anyone, even complete beginners, can stand up on the board after just one lesson. However, there was only one female Japanese staff member, which made us, who are not good at English, feel a bit anxious. Also, the location where the lesson took place had a lot of rocks and coral, and two out of four people in our group got injured... I was scared, so I made sure not to fall off the board. Since it was my first time, I’m not really sure, but is that how it usually is?

キャンキャンのエビちゃんハワイブックにも載っていましたが、、、。
私的には、少し期待外れでした。確かにどんな初心者でも1回のスクールで立てるようになるみたいです。
ただ、日本語スタッフは女性の方ひとりだけみたいで、英語が苦手な私たちとしては、不安な部分もありました。
それとスクールが行われた場所は、岩や珊瑚がたくさんあって、グループ4人中2人が負傷。。。
私は怖かったので意地でもボードから落ちませんでした。
初めてだったのでよくわかりませんが、そんなもんなんでしょうか。
