All Reviews for Water Sports in Waikiki

I went parasailing with my dad after he said he wanted to! The person in charge spoke a little Japanese, and when they realized we were father and child, they called my dad "Papa" and even splashed us in the water once, which was a lot of fun. You can buy the photos taken on an SD card for $30 (for those who want it), and I think it's a good deal since there are about 100 pictures included. We bought the SD card, took photos with our phones, and also captured the view from above with our own digital camera.

父がしたい！と言った一言で父と一緒にパラセーリングをしました。担当してくれた方は少し日本語が出来る方で私と父が親子と分かると父の事をPapaって呼んだり、一回水ボチャンをしたりととても楽しかったです。SDカードで撮ってくれた写真を30ドルで買うのですが（ほしい人は）、100枚前後入っているのでお得かと思います。
私達はSDカードも買って、携帯でも次の人に撮ってもらって、自分のデジカメで上からの景色も撮りました。

We challenged ourselves to the longest 150m ride as a family. At first, I thought it might be too high, but once I jumped, it wasn't that bad and felt really good. It seems that up to three people can ride together. The view was amazing!

I did feel a bit nauseous because it swayed quite a bit. The boat was also moving fast, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.

Photos were available for $30, and tips were separate.

家族で一番長い150mに挑戦しました。最初は高すぎたかなと思いましたが飛んでみればそれほどでもなくとても気持ちかったです。3人まで一緒に乗れるみたいです。景色が最高でした！
結構左右に振られたので途中気持ち悪くなってしまいました。船の中でもスピードが出てましたので、酔いやすい人は要注意です。
写真は30ドルでチップは別でした。

I participated in a plan with hotel pickup on Sunday morning. A Japanese female staff member came to pick us up, and out of the 12 participants, 10 were Japanese.

At the beach, three staff members assisted us, so for beginners, joining a group is more than enough. When the waves came, they pushed the boards and signaled with simple Japanese phrases like "Paddle!" and "Stand up!" The lessons took place close to the shore where it was just shallow enough to stand. That said, we were in Hawaii, and there were plenty of waves for practice. After a while, some skilled participants were taken out to the ocean by one of the veteran staff members.

We were a couple in our 40s and 50s, the oldest participants. We usually exercise by hiking, but it required quite a bit of stamina. The other participants were mostly in their 30s, and you could clearly see who was tired and who wasn't. If you get tired, you can just float in the sea, but if you want to ride the waves, you obviously have to paddle out each time.

As mentioned in other experiences, there are no lockers for valuables. Everyone just places their belongings on a shelf in a visible area, but there always seem to be at least two staff members in the shop, and since it's a store, there are customers coming and going. It's best to bring only the minimum necessary, like some dollars for tips, to feel secure. There are no separate changing areas, so on the way back, you'll be putting clothes over your wet swimsuit. When I read about this in other reviews, I thought, "Oh no," but in the Hawaiian sun and atmosphere, it didn't bother me at all.

ホテル送迎付きのプランで、日曜の午前中に参加しました。日本人の女性スタッフが迎えに来てくれ、参加者12人中10人が日本人でした。

海では３人ものスタッフが付いてくれましたので、初心者にはグループ参加で十分です。波が来たらボードを押してくれ、「漕いでー!」「立ってー!」とカタコトの日本語で合図してくれます。レッスンは、ギリギリ、足で立てる岸辺に近い場所で行われます。だからと言ってそこはハワイ、練習には十分な波がきます。しばらくすると、上手な数人は、ベテランらしきスタッフの1人が沖まで連れて行ってくれていました。

当方40代と50代の夫婦で、最年長参加者でした。普段から登山をして運動しているのですが、相当な体力が要りました。他の皆さんは30代までですが、疲れている様子の人とそうでない人がはっきり分かれていました。疲れたらずっと海に漂っていればいい訳ですが、波に乗りたければ、当然、毎回パドリングして沖まで行かなければなりません。

他の体験談にもある通り、貴重品を入れるロッカーなどはありません。目立つ場所にある棚に全員の荷物を置くだけですが、お店にはいつも2人以上のスタッフが要るようですし、お店なのでお客さんの出入りもあります。最低限必要な、チップ用のドルだけを持って行かれると安心です。
仕切られた着替えるところもないので、帰りは濡れた水着の上に服を着て帰ります。他の体験談を読んだときは「えーっ」と思いましたが、ハワイの日差しと雰囲気では全く気になりませんでしたよ。

I had a really fun experience! I'm so glad I took photos for $30! These are pictures we definitely couldn't have taken ourselves!! I want to try it again the next time I go.

とっても楽しい体験ができた！
30ドルで写真を撮って本当によかった！自分達じゃ、絶対に撮れない写真なので！！
また、次に行ったときも体験してみたいと思った。

It was even better than I expected!! It became my best memory. I want to participate again and again. Thank you very much.

思った以上に最高でした！！一番のおもいでになりました。また何度でも参加したいです。ありがとうございました。

It was a nice day with a pleasant breeze. The previous days had been cloudy and rainy due to a storm, so it felt refreshing. Although it was an additional charge, I purchased the photos taken on an SD card, and after parasailing, I enjoyed looking at those photos on my PC. Previously, when I participated in another option, I also received a paid photo SD, but at that time, I was given the SD card, a receipt, and a paper with contact information in case there were any issues with installing or downloading the data. This time, I only paid in cash on the boat, so I felt a bit anxious about what to do if there were any problems. However, I was glad that I was able to view the photos without any issues.

天気の良い日で程よく風もあり
前日まではストームの関係で曇天や雨天の日々が続いてたので気分爽快でした。
有料となりますがSDカードに撮影した写真を入れて下さり購入して
PCにインストールしてパラセーリング後もその写真を見て楽しみました。
以前、他のオプションに参加した時も同じように有料写真SDだったのですがその時はSDと領収書ともし万が一データーがインストールやダウンロード出来ない場合の連絡先など書かれた紙を渡されました。今回は現金を船の上で支払っただけだったので何か問題があった時の対応などはどぉすれば…と少し不安になりました。
無事に写真を見れたから良かったのですが。

It was my first parasailing experience! I was a bit scared and chose the lowest height of 110m, but I might have been okay with going higher…

Before taking off, they check if it's okay to drop you into the sea (laughs). Of course, if you say it's okay, they play around by lowering and raising you. I took photos with a fun foreign family and a honeymoon couple, but the best pictures were taken by the staff, so I bought the data.

A friend who gets motion sickness took anti-nausea medication just in case, so they were totally fine. However, the couple we shared the boat with got really seasick, and it was sad to see. Since it can be quite bumpy, I think it's a good idea to bring motion sickness medication if you're worried.

The shuttle staff and the boat crew don't speak Japanese, but they are kind.

初パラセイリングでした！
ビビって一番低い110mにしましたが、もっと高くても良かったかも…

飛ぶ前に、海に落としていいか(笑)確認されます。
もちろんOKすると下ろしたりあげたりして遊んでくれます。
ノリのいい外国人家族とハネムーンカップルと写真の撮りあいをしましたが、やっぱりスタッフの撮ってくれる写真が一番良くて、データ買い取りました。

酔いやすい友人は念のため酔い止めを飲んで行ったので全然大丈夫でした。
しかしいっしょに乗船したカップルがものすごく酔っててかわいそうでした。
かなり揺れるので心配な方は酔い止めを持って行った方がいいと思います。

送迎スタッフも船のスタッフも日本語は通じませんが、親切です。

You can see the sky, sea, mountains, and city all at once, and I felt the reality of being in Hawaii while running alongside surfers.

Although we finished with a water landing, they controlled it so that only my waist got wet, keeping my face and head dry, which I really appreciated.

The 150 meters were worth it in terms of both time and scenery.

空、海、山、街が一望でき、
サーフィンする人達と並走して
ハワイに来た実感がありました

一旦着水でのフィニッシュとなりますが
腰が浸かるくらいで、顔や頭は濡らさない
ようコントロールしてくれて、さすがだなと
感じました

150mは時間も景色も値打ちありでした

A pickup came to the hotel, and we transferred to a boat from the port for parasailing in order. My Japanese was limited, but I didn't have any particular issues. You can purchase an SD card with the photos for $30, but that's about it. -1 point. It seems difficult to take parasailing photos from the boat. Parasailing allows you to enjoy the blue sky, blue sea, and a private experience of Hawaii. It was amazing. I'm glad I did it!

ホテルまで迎えが来て、港から船に乗り換えて順番にパラセイリングです。
日本語は少しだけでしたが、とくに困ることはありませんでした。
写真は30ドルで撮ったデータの入ったSDカードを購入できるのですが、まあこんなものですね。-1pt。船からとるパラセイリングの写真は難しそうです。
パラセイリングは、青い空、青い海、二人だけのハワイを楽しめます。最高でした。やってよかったです！

The challenge of 120 meters was my first time, so I was nervous, but the moment I jumped, I was like "Whoa!" After going up, I didn't feel the height at all; it was just a great feeling. The view of the ocean from above was vast (which is obvious), and I felt like I could fly forever. It felt so short that I was thinking, "Is it already over?" Next time, I will challenge myself to 150 meters!

120ｍの挑戦、初めてだったので緊張しましたが、飛んだ瞬間はひぇ～となりましたが、上空へ上がった後は、高さも感じることなく、気持ちいいの一言でした。
上空から見る海が広い広い（当たり前ですが）、ずっ～と飛んでいたい気分でした。
もう終わり？って感じるぐらい、短く感じました。
次回は150ｍに挑戦します！！

I used to think flying high would be scary, but I decided to give parasailing a try. Once I actually flew, I felt no fear at all; it was a delightful sensation! It was a happy moment as I enjoyed the view. Riding on the boat was also refreshing and fun. The meeting point was conveniently close to the Hilton, within walking distance. The parachute being in rainbow colors was also very beautiful.

高いところへ飛ぶのは怖いと思っていましたが、それでもパラセイリングを一度はやってみたいと決心して申し込みをしました。
実際に飛んでみたら怖さはなく、ふわりとした感覚でとても気持ち良かったです！景色を眺めながら幸せなひと時でした♪
ボートに乗っているときも爽快で楽しめました。集合場所はヒルトンから近く徒歩で行かれて便利。パラシュートがレインボーカラーで美しいこともとても良かったです。

As someone in my 50s without much confidence in my physical fitness, I decided to try surfing. I participated in a group lesson, but I was able to take breaks at my own pace. It was quite challenging, but I had a great time. I successfully rode the waves a few times by following the instructions I was given, which made me very satisfied. The coach was also supportive, making it easier for me to ride, and I really enjoyed it.

体力に自信のない50代で、サーフィンに挑戦
グループレッスンでの参加でしたが、自分のペースで休みながら
なので、そこそこハードでしたが楽しい時間が過ごせました。
教わった通りにやってみて何回か無事波乗り成功。満足でした。
コーチも乗りやすいようにサポートしてくれ楽しかったです。

My first parasailing experience.
It was just as exhilarating as I expected!
I went up to 150 meters, and at that height, it was a bit scary.
It was fun!

初のパラセイリング。
思った通りの気持ちよさでした！
１５０ｍまで上がりましたが、そのぐらいになるとちょっと怖かったです。
楽しかった！

I experienced parasailing for the first time on the 150m course over the ocean! We boarded a boat with other tourists and took off in pairs! So, it might be smoother to sign up in even numbers. However, there were also participants in odd numbers or solo, and they paired up with others, and everyone on board had a great time together! The staff were lively and took lots of photos from departure to return, which made it fun! Being able to see Waikiki from above the ocean is a memory I will cherish for a lifetime.

初めてのパラセーリング、海上150mコースを体験しました！他の観光客の方と船に乗り2人ずつ飛び立ちます！なので偶数での申し込みの方がスムーズかな？けれど奇数や一人での参加の方もいましたが、他の方とペアになったり、乗客全員で盛り上がり楽しみました！スタッフもノリが良く出航から帰港までいっぱい写真を撮ったりして楽しかったです！海の上、ワイキキを一望できたことは一生の思い出です。

I was worried about the weather, but there were no problems at all. I was a bit concerned about the height of 150 meters, but I felt great and had a wonderful time sailing. I will definitely challenge myself again next time.

お天気が心配でしたが、まったく問題なしで、１５０ｍの高さも気になりましたが、最高の気分で、楽しくセイリング出来ました。次回もチャレンジします。

I participated with a friend. A Japanese lady taught us how to ride, and off we went to the sea. I thought the two older women wouldn't be able to ride, but they did quite well and it was a lot of fun. I want to challenge myself again!

友人と参加
日本人のお姉さんに乗り方を教えてもらい、いざ海へ
おばさん2人は乗れない！と思っていましたが、結構乗れてとても楽しかったです
また、チャレンジしたいです

I participated after taking motion sickness medication. My daughter, who is prone to motion sickness, was also fine. I had some anxiety since I had signed up for the 150 meters, but it was completely okay and felt amazing. I highly recommend you try it. You might not realize how wonderful it feels to float in the air until you experience it yourself. The staff didn't speak Japanese, but we managed with gestures. The staff member was really trying to entertain the participants. On the way back, we gave each participant a tip of ten dollars. Since there were four groups of participants, when it was our turn to fly, we handed our smartphones to other participants to take pictures for us. I definitely want to do this again when I go to Hawaii.

酔い止めを飲んで参加しました。
乗り物酔いしやすい娘も大丈夫でした。
１５０メートルを申し込んでいたので不安もありましたが全然平気ですごく気持ちよかったです。
ぜひ体験してみて下さい。
空中に浮かんでいくからだがこんなにも気持ちがいいもんだなんて体験してみないとわからないかもしれません。
スタッフさんは日本語は通じないのですがジェスチャーとかでも何とでもなります。
スタッフのお兄さんは参加者を楽しませようと頑張ってくれていました。
帰りに参加者一人１０ドルずつチップを渡しました。
私たちは４組の参加者がいたので、自分たちが飛ぶときにはスマホをほかの参加者の人にわたして写真を撮ってもらいました。
またハワイに行ったときには必ずしたいです。

Our first trip to Hawaii for our honeymoon! As a memory, we challenged ourselves to a 150-meter jump. With excitement and nervousness, when we finally jumped, I was surprised by the height! But the view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head illuminated by the sunset was incredibly beautiful, and I still remember it! I definitely want to do it again when I go back to Hawaii!

ハネムーンでの初ハワイ！記念にと150メートルに挑戦しました。ワクワク、ドキドキしながらいざ飛ぶとあまりの高さにびっくり！でも夕日に照らされたワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドはすごく綺麗で今でも思い出します！また是非ハワイに行ったらやりたいです！

On the last day, I experienced it, and I was moved by the view of Hawaii from the sky. The staff's service and the scenery were all excellent! I will definitely use it again next time!

最終日に体験したのですが、空から見るハワイに感動でした。スタッフの対応や、景色などどれをとっても◉！
次回も是非使わせて頂きます！

While it is certainly fun, there is also a sense of fear. However, I believe it is an enjoyable and satisfying activity as long as you are not afraid of heights!

楽しいながらにも勿論怖さはあるのですが、高所恐怖症でなければ楽しめて満足できるアクティビティだと思います！

We participated with my 6-year-old son, making it a group of three. It was amazing to experience parasailing together, and we were truly impressed by the beautiful scenery of Waikiki! The guide took photos for us, and we purchased them on an SD card. It was $30 for cash and $35 with a credit card, including fees. Since we were by the ocean, I thought it would be better not to carry much cash, so I ended up participating without any cash and purchased with a credit card... Well, it's fine, but I wish I had been informed about this in advance!

６才の息子を含めた3人で参加しました。3人同時にパラセーリング体験できとてもキレイなワイキキの景色に感動しました！
ガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれSDカードで購入しましたが、キャッシュだと30ドルクレジットカードだと手数料込みで35ドル。海になのであまりキャッシュ持ち歩かない方がいいかと思い現金もたずに参加してしまいクレジットで購入…
まぁいいのですが、事前に教えて貰えたらよかったな〜と思いました！

We participated as a group of six. There was a 5-year-old child with us, and it seemed like they had a great time, making it the best memory in Hawaii. We appreciated the flexibility in accommodating changes in the number of participants on the day. The photo service (for a fee) was also very good.

6人グループで参加しました。5歳の子供もいましたがとても楽しかったようで、ハワイで一番の思い出となったようです。当日の人数変更にも対応していただき助かりました。
写真サービス(有料)もとても良かったです。

What a true Hawaiian experience. Not to be missed.

Since we were on the ocean, we didn't feel the height too much, and we were able to enjoy the wonderful view from off Waikiki. It felt long until it was our turn, but it was disappointing how quickly it ended.

海の上なので、それほどまで高さを感じることは無く、ワイキキ沖からの素晴らしい景色が一望出来ました。自分たちの順番が来るまでは、長く感じたが、
あっという間に終わってしまった事が残念です。

I am very satisfied with the extremely polite service, and there were no issues with meeting arrangements as promised. The warmth of the local people created a truly happy and wonderful memory. Thank you.

待ち合わせなどの不安も、いっさい問題なくお約束通りに大変丁寧な対応に大満足しています。
現地の方々の対応の温かさなど、とても幸せな最高の思い出となりました。ありがとうございます。

It was a dreamy 10 minutes, reaching 120 meters above Hawaii in no time. You can see Diamond Head clearly against the clear sky.

They picked us up from the hotel, and the whole experience lasted about 2 hours. You don't even have to take your own photos; they take them for you and provide them on an SD card (for a fee of $30 for about 50 photos). Additionally, tips for the crew are appreciated. It's an experience I would love to do again. If you have a GoPro, it would make it even more enjoyable later!

ハワイ上空120m…あっと言う間に120mにたどり着くおよそ10分間の夢見る時間でした。澄み渡る空にダイヤモンドヘッドが良く見えます。
ホテルからピックアップしてもらい終わるまでおよそ2時間。自分たちで写真を撮らなくても撮ってSDカードで渡してくれます。（有料で30ドルでおよそ50枚ほど）その他クルーにチップ等。また次回もやりたい体験です。GoProがあれば尚一層あとで楽しめるでしょう！

In Hawaii, the winds are strong and the waves are high, so it's essential to have motion sickness medication. The shuttle was delayed by more than 40 minutes, which made me anxious. I couldn't get through when I called the number listed on the voucher, and I think first-time visitors to Hawaii would feel uneasy. However, since Hawaii is a laid-back place, I think we should just accept it.

ハワイは風も強く波が高いので必ず酔い止めの薬は必要です。送迎が40分以上送れ不安になりました。バウチャーに記載されている電話をかけても繋がらず、初めてのハワイの方は不安になると思います。ハワイはのんびりする国なので、仕方ないと思いましょー

Since I came to Hawaii, I wanted to participate in an activity tour, so I tried parasailing. It was basically an experience for two people, and I flew with my wife. The view was breathtaking! Also, I'm not good with roller coasters, but this parasailing was not scary at all. I think I can recommend it to anyone. The staff was friendly and nice as well. If I go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate again.

ハワイに来たからにはアクティビティなツアーに参加したいと思い、パラセイリングに挑戦しました。
基本的に二人一組での体験で、私は妻と二人で飛びました。
眺めは絶景でした！それに、ジェットコースターは苦手な私ですが、このパラセイリングは全然怖くありませんでした。誰にでもオススメできると思います。
スタッフさんもフレンドリーでいい感じでした。
次にハワイに行くことがあれば、また参加したいです。

The view of Hawaii from the sky was amazing. Since it was my first time parasailing, I thought it might be quite scary, but there was no shaking in the air, and it was stable, so I really enjoyed it. Also, the staff didn't speak much Japanese, but they were very friendly and made it a lot of fun. I will definitely repeat this the next time I come to Hawaii!

空からのハワイの眺めは最高でした。パラセイリングは初だったため、かなり怖いかなと思っていましたが、空中では揺れもなく、安定しており楽しめました。
また、スタッフの方も日本語はほとんど通じませんが、乗りが良く大変楽しませて頂きました。次回ハワイに来た時必ずリピートします！

I had done parasailing in Guam before, so this was my second experience, but the height was much higher than I expected, and it was quite scary.

It might have been related to the height, but for some reason, we, who didn't understand the language, were the first ones to go, and it started in no time.

Everyone on the boat with us was a foreigner, but they cheered us on while we were doing it, which made it really fun.

As for the splashdown into the sea, I had heard from others that they were asked if they wanted to do it, but we just did it without being asked, haha.

I requested photos for $30, and they took 104 pictures and 2 videos for us. It was great that we received the SD card at the end.

Since I didn't have any cash on hand, I told the guy that I would pay for the SD card and tip with my card, and he added an extra $3 on top of the price, haha.

It was a lot of fun! ✨

グアムでパラセーリングはしたことがあったので２回目の体験でしたが、高さが全然高くて思った以上に怖かったです。

高さの関係もあるのかもしれませんが何故か言葉が分からない私たちが一番最初であっという間にはじまりました。

一緒の船になった人たちが全員外国人の方でしたが私たちがやる時にも一緒に盛り上がってくれてとても楽しかったです。
海に着水するボチャンは他の方の体験談ではやるかどうか聞かれるとありましたが聞かれずにやられました笑

写真は30ドルでお願いしましたが104枚と動画を2つ撮って貰いました。
SDカードごと最後に頂けてよかったです。
手持ちの現金が無かったのでSDカードのお金といっしょにチップもカードで払うと言ったらお兄ちゃんに言い値より3ドル上乗せされました笑

とても楽しかったです✨
