All Reviews for Water Sports in Waikiki

I was able to quickly ascend to the sky and enjoy the best views! Since the water only reached my shins, I didn't need to change clothes, and it wasn't physically demanding, so it was easy! Since it's over the ocean, it's not scary at all, and I think even those with a fear of heights can manage it. However, the weather in Hawaii can change quickly, so it's better to have something to wear, and since you'll be on the boat while others are taking their turns, I recommend taking motion sickness medication. Haha! In any case, the scenery is amazing, and if you bring a camera, you can take pictures up there, making for great memories!

上空まで一気に上がり、最高の景色が楽しめました！
膝下が濡れる程度なので、特別着替えもいらないし、体力使うわけでもないので楽でした！
下が海なので、全然怖くないし、高所恐怖症の人でもいけると思います。
ただ、ハワイは天気が変わりやすいので、羽織る物があった方がいいのと、他の人がしてる間は船の上なので、酔い止め飲んでる方がおすすめです。笑
なんにせよ景色は最高で、カメラ持っていけば上で写真もとっていいので良い思い出になります！

The driver for the pickup was English-speaking and very friendly, making the ride enjoyable. Once we arrived at the port, there was a female staff member who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. Parasailing was incredibly refreshing! The captain of the boat was very skilled at maneuvering, and the crew took many wonderful photos with great creativity. The photos are available for an additional fee, but I think $30 for the SD card is quite reasonable. There are no changing facilities, so you'll have to return wet, so it's best to bring a towel to cover the car seat.

送迎のドライバーさんは英語ですがすごく気さくに話し掛けてくれて楽しい車内となりました。
港についてからは日本語の話せる女性スタッフが1名いて安心できました。
パラセイリングはすっっごく気持ちがいい！
船のキャプテンは操縦がとても上手だし、クルーは工夫溢れるとても素敵な写真をたくさん撮ってくれます。
こちらの写真は別料金となりますが、30ドルでSDカードごと頂けるのでだいぶ良心的なお値段だと思います。
着替える場所がないので帰りは濡れたまま帰ることとなります、車の座席にひけるバスタオルを持参するとベストです。

We participated as a couple in our 20s. Since we were staying at a hotel near the boat departure point, we walked there in our swimsuits. This time, we chose the 120-meter option. First, we received an explanation from a staff member who spoke Japanese before boarding the boat that came to pick us up. The crew seemed very accustomed to Japanese people, even making jokes in Japanese. Thanks to that, we had a great time during the transfer and while others were flying. Additionally, if you wish, they will take photos with a camera. You can check the content, and if you like it, they will sell you an SD card. We had nearly 70 photos taken. Since the boat was rocking, some photos were slightly out of focus, but we decided to purchase them right away! By the way, my wife has a fear of heights, but she said it was less scary than she expected and she had fun.

20代の夫婦で参加しました。
船の出発場所近くのホテルに宿泊していたためホテルから水着を着て歩いて向かいました。
今回は120メートルを選択。
まずは日本語の分かるスタッフの方の説明を受けて迎えに来た船に乗ります。
船のクルーは日本語でジョークを言ってくるぐらい日本人慣れしている感じでした。
おかげで移動中や他の人が飛んでいる間も楽しく過ごせます。
また、希望すればカメラで写真を撮ってくれます。内容を確認して気に入ればSDカードを販売してくれます。
70枚近く写真を撮ってもらいました。
揺れている船なのでピントの合っていない写真も少しありますが我々はすぐに購入を決めました！
ちなみに嫁は高所恐怖症ですが思っていたより怖さはなく楽しかったそうです。

This is my second time using the service. I was late for the pickup, so I went directly to the meeting point, but thank you for accommodating me by switching to the 12 o'clock boat. The weather and the wind were perfect, and it became a really fun memory! I also enjoyed the promised "dobon" (splash) twice, which was a lot of fun!

2回目の利用です。
ピックアップに遅れてしまい
集合場所に直接向かいましたが、
12時発のボートに振り替えて対応してくれてありがとうございました。
天気も風も最高でとっても楽しい思い出になりました！
お約束のドボンも二回もしてもらって楽しかったです！

It was unfortunately rainy and very windy, but I flew 150 meters! The guide was very friendly and provided a lot of laughs!
150 meters was surprisingly high, and I really got to experience the feeling of being a bird!
Next time, I hope for sunny weather and definitely want to challenge myself again!

あいにくの雨と強風でしたが150m飛んで来ました。ガイドさんがとても気さくな方で沢山笑いを提供してくれました！
150mは思いの外高く、鳥の気分をしっかり味わえます！
次は晴れることを願って、是非また挑戦したいと思います！

This was the BEST experience I’ve had. I feel the reason my husband and I could enjoy this experience was down to the crew. Safety was an absolute given, with our life vests fitted before we left the harbour. We were out at ease with humorous banter and a super friendly atmosphere.
I like this event so much...I went back for a second time.
The scenery of Waikiki from paragliding was spectacular, and the photos taken of us are going to be treasured for a life time.

Since it was my first time doing marine sports abroad, I was a bit anxious about how it would go. However, the email guidance after my application was very thorough, and I was able to reach the pickup location without any confusion. Once on the boat, they provided instructions in Japanese, and I was able to fly through the air without any issues! I booked for 130 meters, but I wish I could have experienced 150 meters as well.

初めてのマリンスポーツでかつ海外だったのでどうなる事かと思いましたが、申込み後のメール案内も丁寧で迷う事なくピックアップ場所にたどり着けました。船に乗り込むと日本語でも案内してくれますし、問題なく空を飛ぶ事ができました！130mで予約しましたが、150mも体験したみたいと思いました。

It was a bit scary, but when I flew high in the sky, I could see Diamond Head and the hotels of Waikiki beautifully! The ocean was a deep blue, and although I couldn't see the sea creatures, it felt amazing being blown by the wind! To have a fun experience, make sure to take motion sickness medication before you give it a try!

ちょっと怖かったけど、空高く飛ぶと、ダイアモンドヘッドやワイキキのホテル街が綺麗に見えました！海は濃く青くDeep Blue で海の生き物たちは、見えませんでしたが、風に吹かれて最高！でした。楽しく体験するために、絶対酔い止めを飲んでからチャレンジしてみてください！

It was drizzling, but the shuttle bus arrived on time and took us to the departure point. After waiting for about 30 minutes at the port, we set off with two crew members and four fellow passengers.

The boat accelerates and turns at a high speed, shaking like an amusement park ride!

Once we took off, the feeling of floating and the refreshing breeze were delightful, and we had a great view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. When returning to the boat, I was surprised by the crew as I was momentarily dropped into the water. (laughs)

It was a highlight of my trip to Hawaii and I had a lot of fun!

Also, after returning to the port, you can purchase an SD card with about 60 images taken by the crew for $30.

小雨が降る中でしたが、定刻に送迎バスが来て出航場所まで移動しました。
港で30分程待った後に、クルー2人、同行客4人と共に出発。

船は猛スピードで加速や旋回をするので、遊園地のアトラクション並みに揺れます！

いざ、飛び立つと、ふわふわとした浮遊感と爽やかな風が気持ちよく、ワイキキビーチとダイアモンドヘッドが一望できました。
船に戻る際、クルーのサプライズで海の中に一瞬落とされました。笑

ハワイ旅行のハイライトとなり、とても楽しかったです！

また、帰港後はクルーが撮影した画像60枚程が入ったSDカードを30ドルで購入出来ます。

We participated as a family of six. Both of my son's couples were very happy, and the weather was nice, so we had a wonderful time.

家族６人で参加しました。息子夫婦（２組）もとても喜んでくれて
天気も良かったの大変いい時間を過ごしました。

This time I opted for a private lesson. I had the same coach as last time, and I was able to enjoy a relaxed one-on-one lesson. Luckily, I even got to take a photo with a sea turtle! I couldn't help but buy the image CD as well. Waikiki Beach has gentle waves, so beginners can enjoy stand-up paddleboarding too.

今回はプライベートレッスンにしました。前回と同じコーチで、マンツーマンでのんびりレッスンできました。運良くウミガメともツーショット撮れました！思わず画像CDも買っちゃった。ワイキキビーチは波も穏やかで、初心者でもSAP楽しめますよ。

Communication in Japanese was somewhat possible, and the shuttle service was without issues. There were only three groups during our time, so we finished smoothly with almost no waiting time! However, I wish the flying time had been a bit longer... (^_^;) Still, we enjoyed it thoroughly!

日本語も多少は通じて送迎も問題なし、私たちの時は3組だったのですが待ち時間もほとんどなくスムーズに終わりました！
ただ、もう少し飛ぶ時間が長かったら良かったかな…と(^_^;)
それでも十分に楽しめました！

Amazing time!!!! Amazing crew!!! Will definitely do again!!!

The driver who picked us up spoke in English, but occasionally threw in jokes like a Japanese comedian, which made me happy as it showed he wanted to entertain us! When we arrived at the port and got out of the car, he said, "I'll help the girls!" and escorted us. He didn't do the same for the young boy who got out after us (laughs).

As the driver mentioned, "Today, it's Captain ◯◯'s boat, you guys are lucky!" the captain turned out to be incredibly reliable. The assistant was also fun and entertaining.

On the boat, club music was playing, creating a vibe that forced us to get hyped up. The waves were high, and it was really bumpy. We were instructed in English to "Take off your shoes! Also take off your jackets!" and we were fitted with parasailing gear one by one.

The order of who would fly was completely up to the assistant. We all waited for him to say "Next!" with a big smile. Since we were last, we could see how it went for the people before us, but I imagine it must have been really scary for the first ones.

The assistant asked if we wanted him to take pictures. After returning to land, he showed us the photos he took, so we could decide whether to buy them or not.

The takeoff was gentler than I expected, and we quickly soared into the sky. The view was amazing, and it wasn't scary at all. It felt great! Before returning to the boat, we landed in the water. The first person only got wet up to their calves, but since we were last, we went in up to our chests. The seawater was salty when it got in my mouth.

I thought the return to the boat would be a rough landing, but it was a gentle and soft touch down. When we looked at the photos afterward, we were all smiling broadly.

The crew was fantastic. It was a wonderful memory.

送迎の運転手さんは、英語で話してましたがときどき日本の芸人さんのギャグをかましてきて、楽しませよう！という気持ちが伝わってきて嬉しかった。
港に着いて、車から降りるとき「女の子だけ手を貸すから！」って言ってエスコートしてくれました。私たちのあとに降りた若い男の子にはしてなかった（笑）
運転手さんが「今日はキャプテン◯◯（聞き取れなかった）の船だよ、君たち運がいいよ！」と言ってたとおり、キャプテンめちゃめちゃ頼りになる。アシスタントのお兄ちゃんもノリよくて面白い。
船ではクラブ系の音楽がかかり、強制的にテンション上げてく感じ。波が高くて超揺れる。
英語で「靴脱いで！上着も脱いで！」との指示。順番にパラセーリング用の装備を付けていってくれます。
飛ぶ順番は完全にアシスタントのお兄ちゃん任せ。「Next!」といい笑顔で言われるのをみんなで待ちます。
私たちは最後だったので、前の人を見てこんな感じか〜と分かりましたが、たぶん先発の人はメチャメチャ怖いだろうな〜。
お兄ちゃんが写真撮るか？と聞いてくれます。陸に戻ってから、撮った写真を見せてくれるのでそれから買うかどうか判断してOK。
思っていたより優しい離陸、あっという間に上空へ。景色最高。ぜんぜん怖くない。気持ちいい！
船に戻る前に着水してくれます。最初の人はふくらはぎまでくらいだったのに、私たちは最後だったからか胸あたりまでいきました。海水が口に入ってしょっぱい。
船に帰ってくる時も、ドスン！って感じかと思ってたらフンワリと優しい着地。
帰ってきてから写真見たら全部超笑顔。
最高のクルー達でした。いい思い出です。

It was my first time paragliding, but since I wanted to experience it, I booked the highest option at 150 meters! The shuttle van arrived about 20 minutes earlier than scheduled, but I was already waiting, so it wasn't a problem. The same person picked us up and dropped us off, and although they were quiet, they were kind.

As for the paragliding, we boarded the same boat as two other newlywed couples and a family. The two staff members hardly spoke Japanese, but they made an effort to keep things lively and fun. Paragliding was very pleasant and truly enjoyable. I was able to purchase an SD card with 96 photos for $30.

パラセイリング 初めてでしたが、どうせ経験するならと1番高い150メートルで予約しました！
送迎のバン予定時刻より20分ぐらい早く来られましたが、それより早く待ってたので問題ありませんでした。行きも帰りも送迎同じ方で無口でしたが優しい方でした。
肝心のパラセイリング は他2組の新婚さんと親子と同じ船に乗り海に出ました。スタッフ2名ほぼ日本語は通じませんが、盛り上げようとたくさん楽しませてくれます。パラセイリング はとても気持ちよくて本当に楽しかったです。$30で96枚も写真データーが入ってるSDカード購入できました。

The Japanese guide came to pick us up right on time in front of the hotel, which was very much appreciated. At first, I felt a bit anxious about the situation being only in English, but I felt reassured knowing that there were two other groups of Japanese participants. The height of 150 meters felt higher than when I went parasailing once before, but it was a very pleasant and enjoyable experience! I also decided to purchase the aerial photos for $30 since it seemed worth it.

集合時間ちょうどにホテル前日本人迎えに来てくださり、とてもありがたかったです。初めは英語だけの状況に少し不安もありましたが、他に2組日本人の方が参加されていたこともあり安心できました。150メートルの高さは昔に一度パラセーリングをやった時よりも高く感じましたが、とても気持ちよく楽しい時間でした！
空中の写真も30ドルはせっかくだからと思い購入しました。

This time, I challenged myself to a height of 150 meters. The view was truly beautiful, and I’m glad I experienced it. The crew was friendly and made it enjoyable. I signed up for photo shooting for $30, but it was disappointing that the quality was poor... I probably won’t request photos again.

今回は高さ150Mに挑戦。
景色が本当に綺麗で体験して良かった。
クルーも愛想良く楽しませてもらえました。
写真撮影を３0ドルで申し込んだが画質が汚かったのが残念・・・
写真はもう頼むことはないかな

This is my second time. Last time, I went there by rental car, but I struggled with securing parking and paying for parking fees, so this time I requested a free shuttle service. The shuttle arrived on time at a nearby hotel, and we were dropped off at the same place on the way back. The hotel was in Waikiki, and we returned in less than two hours. Parasailing was just as enjoyable as last time, with the staff's humorous approach and the view from 130 meters high was fantastic, leaving me feeling refreshed. I had a great time without any complaints.

２回目です。前回はレンターカーで現地に行きましたが、駐車場の確保や駐車料金の支払いに苦労したので、今回は無料の送迎を頼みました。
送迎車は時間通りに近くのホテルまで来て、帰りも同じところで下車です。
ホテルはワイキキでしたが、2時間もかからずに戻ってきました。
パラセイリングは、前回同様スタッフのユーモアあふれる対応、高度130mの景色は最高で気分爽快、文句なしに楽しめました。

On the day of the tour, it was drizzling and the temperature was low, so the members who got on the boat were saying how cold it was during the parasailing. Since it was a tour that only included parasailing, I brought a little money (for tips), a bath towel, and water. I was told that they would take photos during the parasailing and that I could get the data for a fee. I regretted not bringing a bit more money...

当日は雨がパラパラしていて、気温も低く、ボートに乗り込んだメンバーが寒い寒い言いながらのパラセーリングでした。パラセーリングだけして帰るツアーだったので少しのお金(チップ)とバスタオルと水を持っていきました。パラセーリング中写真を撮ってもらえ、有料でデータがもらえるとの事。もう少し多目にお金を持っていけばよかったと後悔……

I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea and sky, as well as the buildings of Waikiki and Diamond Head!!! I decided to go for the 150-meter option, and it turned out to be a really great experience. I also enjoyed the music on the boat and the guide's talk during the round trip to the parasailing point.

綺麗な海と空と、ワイキキのビルディング、ダイヤモンドヘッドも眺めることが出来ました！！！
せっかくならと150メートルを申し込みし、本当に良い体験となりました。
パラのポイントまで往復の船上での音楽や、ガイドさんのトークにも楽しませて頂きました。

I thought I wouldn't be able to handle even the lowest height due to my fear of heights, but I decided to go for the highest option at 150m to create a memorable experience. I was extremely nervous before it started, but once I jumped, I was overwhelmed by the scenery and had a lot of fun. The instructors were locals who only spoke a little Japanese, but they encouraged us and helped raise our spirits. I highly recommend participating for those who are hesitant. Also, we didn't bring cash or cards, so we couldn't do it, but I think purchasing photos would make for a great keepsake.

高所恐怖症で1番低い高さでも無理と思いましたが、せっかくの思い出にということで1番高い150mにしました。
始まる前は緊張しまくりでしたが、いざ飛んでみたら怖さよりも景色に圧倒されとても楽しかったです。
インストラクターは現地の方達で片言の日本語しかわかりませんが、テンションが上がるように話してくれました。
迷われてる方はぜひ参加することをお勧めします。
あと我々は現金やカードを持参してなかったので無理でしたが、写真は購入した方が良い記念になると思います。

We had a lot of fun!! I personally thought it was going to be scary, but it turned out to be more fun than scary.

The board was large and thick, different from those used for surfing. Once you find your balance, standing up is easy, but paddling requires quite a bit of physical strength, and I felt that women might need to put in a little extra effort to gain speed.

During the lesson, it felt more like a stroll on the water without riding the waves, but when I actually looked at the beach, I saw several people surfing on their SUPs, so there might be various applications for it.

板は大きく分厚くサーフィンのものとは別でした。バランスさえ取れれば立つのは簡単ですが、パドルを漕ぐのに結構体力が要り、女性は少し頑張らないとスピードが出にくいように感じました。
レッスンでは波に乗ることなく海上をお散歩する感じですが、実際ビーチを見ると、SUPで波乗りしている方を何回か見かけたので色々応用があるのかもしれません。

I was imagining a leisurely canoe ride with everyone paddling together, but in reality, we paddled out to the open sea and waited for the waves, riding them back to the shore like surfing. The intense splashes of water and the sense of speed made it quite exhilarating. We rode about four waves, and each wave was relatively long, requiring a good amount of energy to paddle, so I was very satisfied with the number of rides. Only four people held paddles, but a total of six people, four men and two women, were able to join in.
It was so much fun, so I highly recommend it for groups!

ただみんなで漕いでお散歩するカヌーを想像していましたが、実際は沖まで漕いで波を待ち、サーフィンのように一気に浜に向かって波乗りで帰ってきます。激しい水しぶきとスピード感でかなり盛り上がりました。4本くらい波乗りしましたが、1本の波乗り距離も比較的長く、漕ぐのに体力も使うので、本数的にも十分満足しました。パドルを持つのは4人のみですが、男性4人女性2人の計6人で同乗できました。
とても楽しかったのでグループにはおすすめです！

This was a great experience, from check in to getting off the boat! The guys on the boat were super fun! My 7year old daughter loved it so much that she’s been asking to do it again. I’m 47 and also enjoyed my first time parasailing! We did the 600 ft and my husband and 13 year old son did the 1000 ft. The boat ride was very enjoyable also, love the views and also got to see large turtles! The pictures are a must, the one picture with the shark is worth every penny!

The weather was perfect, making it an ideal day for parasailing! I was a little worried when they were about 5 minutes late for the meeting time, wondering if they would actually show up.

Aside from that, it was an incredibly enjoyable activity that exceeded my expectations, and I was very satisfied!

天気にもめぐまれて、絶好のパラセール日和でした❗️
集合時間を5分ほどまわって、本当に来てもらえるか少し心配になりました。

その事を除いては、期待以上に楽しめて大変満足いくアクティビティでした❗️

The wind makes the boat sway, and the view from 150 meters is fantastic. The boat also turns, allowing for a panoramic view from the sea. There was a Japanese person on the same boat, so we were able to take videos of each other.

風もあって船の上でも揺れます＆揺らされます。150ｍ景色も最高。船も向きを変えてくれるで、海の上から一望出来ます。一緒の船に乗った時に日本の方がいたので、動画をお互いに撮り合い出来ました。

It was scarier than I expected!! But as I got used to it, the weather was nice, the scenery was amazing, and the wind felt great—it was a strange sensation! I never knew that being off the ground could be so much fun✨ Next, maybe I'll try skydiving♪

予想していたより怖かった！！
でも慣れてくると天気も良くて景色が最高で風も気持ちよくて、不思議な感覚だった！
地面から離れることがこんなに楽しいとは✨
次はスカイダイビングかな♪

I participated in the lesson starting at 3 PM. There were a total of 7 participants, including myself, 3 Caucasians, and 3 Koreans, with 2 instructors. I was a bit anxious since I don't speak much English, but one of the instructors was mixed with Japanese and spoke to me using simple Japanese words. Half of the participants were Japanese. There was a Japanese woman at the front desk.

The board we used in the lesson was similar to a SUP board, so it's easy to stand on. Also, when a wave comes, they push you from behind, so I think even those without paddle strength can enjoy it.

Since this is primarily a "surfing experience" plan, I wouldn't recommend participating with the goal of improving your skills. The mixed Japanese instructor mentioned that after graduating from school, they might come to Japan and appear on Terrace House or not?

15時からのレッスンに参加しました。
参加者は自分と白人3名、韓国人3名の計7名、インストラクターは2名でした。あまり英語も喋れないので不安でしたが、インストラクターの一人は日本人とのミックスとの事で簡単な日本語の単語で話しかけてくれました。利用者の半分は日本人との事です。フロントには日本人女性がいました。
レッスンで使った板はサップの板に近いので、簡単に立てます。また波が来たら後ろから押してくれるので、パドル力が無い人でも楽しめると思います。
あくまで「サーフィン体験」のプランなので、上達したいという目的で参加するのは勧めません。
日本人とのミックスのインストラクターさんは、学校を卒業したら来日してテラスハウスに出るとか出ないとか？

The weather was nice, and I had no trouble communicating in Japanese with the locals. It was a valuable experience, and I had a great time. The driver who picked us up was cheerful and shared various information like a tour guide.
- If you are prone to seasickness, it's advisable to take medication.
- If you want to have your photo taken with a camera, it costs $30 (cash) for the SD card. Note: Card payments will cost $35.
- I also paid an additional $20 as a tip (of course, this is optional).

天気が良くて、日本人には日本語で話してくれて困ることはなかっです。
貴重な体験なので、楽しく過ごせました。
ピックアップするドライバーが陽気な人で、観光ガイドのようにいろいろ教えてくれます。
・船は船酔いしやすいひとは薬を飲んだよいでしょう。
・カメラの写真を撮ってもらうと、SDカードは30ドル（現金）かかります。
注：カード払いは35ドルかかります。
・別にチップで20ドル支払いました（もちろん任意ですが）。
