I convinced my husband, who is not fond of heights, to join, and we both thoroughly enjoyed the 6-minute flight with great views and a pleasant breeze. Thank you very much.
高いところが苦手な夫を説得しての参加でしたが、6分間の空の旅は眺めもよく 風も心地よく大変2人とも満喫出来ました。
ありがとうございました。

We participated as a family of three. At first, we were unsure if the adults should just observe, but since participation was required for guardians with children under 10, we decided to join in. (If there's one person observing, you can take your own videos and photos from a distance in addition to the purchased photos.)
Since we arrived at 9:30 AM, we enjoyed seeing sea turtles and dolphins swimming in the pool until our experience at 11:45 AM, making it feel like a mini aquarium. During the sea turtle lecture, we even got to touch baby sea turtles, which I think is something you can't experience in Japan.
The pool was a bit deep, so it was definitely necessary to have someone accompany the children. The Japanese staff explained how to swim and interact, and when it was time to swim, they provided encouragement, making it a safe and enjoyable experience.
I'm glad we splurged on this. It became a wonderful memory. Throughout the journey, the driver kindly explained things in front of beautiful beaches and pointed out when we could see whales, making it a lovely tour.
親子3人で参加しました。最初は大人は見学にしようか迷いましたが10歳以下は保護者参加必須だったので参加にしました。（見学が１人いると購入写真以外に自分で動画や遠くからですが写真が撮影できます）
お迎えから到着が9時半だったので11時45分の体験まではウミガメを見たりプールで泳いでいるイルカを見たり水族館みたいに楽しめました。ウミガメのレクチャーではウミガメの赤ちゃんのタッチができたりと日本では体験できないと思います。
プールは少し深めなので子供の付き添いがやはりいるなと。泳ぎ方やふれあい方は日本人スタッフさんが説明してくれましたし、いざ泳ぐときも声掛けがあって安心で楽しく過ごせました。
奮発してよかったです。いい思い出になりました。道中は運転手さんがきれいなビーチ前で説明やクジラが見えたよと声もかけてくれたりと優しいツアーでした。

It swayed more than I imagined! It was a day with not much wind, but we were rocked quite a bit by the waves, so I think motion sickness medication is a must. As long as you don't get seasick, I think it's a very enjoyable tour! ☺︎
想像以上に揺れました！そんなに風がない日でしたが、かなり波に揺られたので酔い止めは必須だと思います。酔いさえしなければとても楽しめるツアーだと思います☺︎
Aloha! Thank you for your review. We are glad you had a fun time. We enjoyed exploring with you. Please join us for another adventure soon! Mahalo!
アロハ！レビューありがとうございます。楽しい時間を過ごせてうれしいです。私たちはあなたと一緒に探索するのを楽しみました。すぐに別の冒険にご参加ください！マハロ！

I participated alone and even though my English is terrible, I had a great time! The staff were very kind and gave instructions using gestures and simple words, so it was no problem at all despite my lack of English. As a beginner, I was able to stand firmly on the board and it felt wonderful! I would love to participate again when I come back to Waikiki! Thank you very much!
一人で参加&英語は全くダメでも、楽しめました！！
スタッフの皆さんとても親切で、身振りと単語で指示をくれるので、英語がダメでも全く問題ありませんでした。
初心者でも、しっかりボードの上に立てて気持ちよかったです♬
またワイキキに来る際には参加したいと思います！！
ありがとうございました！！

Excursion was made online but had to be changed by email to the next day after the planned event. It all happened seamlessly! Thank you. We will use you again!
We made online reservations for the next day to Hanauma Bay snorkeling but had to change the reservation day and time and within a few short hours they change was made through email and the trip and driver were very nice!
I was able to see a lot of fish, and it became my favorite memory from my trip to Hawaii! I’m not good at swimming, and it was my husband’s first time snorkeling, but thanks to Chieko's careful support while I was swimming, I was able to swim with peace of mind. I didn’t have an underwater camera, but Dan took many photos and kindly provided them through Facebook, which was a great help. Chieko and Dan were very cheerful, and the atmosphere during the tour was always pleasant and fun. Thank you so much!
たくさんのお魚が見れて、ハワイ旅行で1番楽しい思い出になりました！
私は泳ぐのが苦手で、夫はシュノーケリング初めてだったのですが、ちえこさんが泳いでいる間もずっと丁寧にサポートしてくださったおかげで、安心して泳ぎ切ることができました。
水中カメラを持っていなかったのですが、代わりにダンさんがたくさんの写真を撮ってFacebook通じて提供してくださるので大変助かります。
ちえこさんとダンさんがとても明るく、ツアー中ずっと和やかな雰囲気で楽しかったです。本当にありがとうございました。
Dear Sada, thank you for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. I am truly happy and honored to hear that it became your most enjoyable memory of your trip to Hawaii!

I was helped when they called me at the hotel 30 minutes before the meeting time. Also, the Japanese guide, Karen, and the other staff were very energetic, and I was able to participate without getting seasick.
The boat was new and had a slide, which made it really fun. I felt a thrill when sliding down the slide, haha.
I was able to see dolphins three times. The final dance by the staff was very uplifting, and it was so much fun to dance along with them.
At the end, they even put stickers on my favorite parts of my body. ^_^
集合時間30分前にホテルに電話をくれたので助かりました。また、日本人ガイドのカレンさんや他のスタッフの方もとても元気で船酔いもせず参加できました。
船も新らしくて滑り台も付いていたのでとっても楽しかったです。滑り台から滑るときはドキドキしました笑笑
いるかも3回見ることができました。スタッフろ方最後の踊りはとってもまた元気が出る踊りで一緒に踊れてとっても楽しかったです。
最後に体の好きなところに、シールも貼ってくれました^_^

I was able to stand on the board properly! I took a semi-private lesson, so I was really tired, but I had a great time!
ちゃんとボードに立てました(^^)
セミプライベートレッスンを受講したので、めちゃくちゃ疲れたけど(笑)、存分に楽しませてもらいました！

The weather was nice, and the waves were calm, making it the perfect day for parasailing. However, both the boat and the parasailing were rockier than expected, and there were a few people on the boat who got sick. I also felt a bit seasick, but I managed to hold on. The view from the sky was absolutely amazing.
天気も良く波も穏やかで最高のパラセーリング日和でした。
しかし、予想以上に船もそしてパラセーリングも揺れて、船上で吐く人がチラホラいました。
私も船酔いしたのですが、なんとか持ち堪えました。
空からの眺めは申し分なく最高でした。

That day was clear from the morning, perfect for parasailing, and I was itching to go as soon as I woke up.
On the boat that towed the parachute, there were 11 participants, including us, but for some reason, my husband and I were chosen first. Maybe our excitement was showing on our faces.
Once we boarded the parachute and it was released, we soared into the sky in an instant! The speed was incredible, and it took me by surprise for a moment, but I hardly felt scared.
As we reached a certain height, it became so stable that it felt like sitting in a chair, and from there, it was a graceful aerial stroll.
The panoramic view of Diamond Head and the hotels of Waikiki far below was truly breathtaking.
Although parasailing is considered a marine sport, in reality, you just sit there, so I think it can be enjoyed easily by children and the elderly alike. It's not as scary as you might think!
This is definitely an activity that I want many people to experience when they come to Hawaii!
その日は朝から快晴で絶好のパラセイリング日和で、起きたときから早くパラセイリングをしたくてウズウズしてました。
その日のパラシュートをけん引するボートには、私たちを含む11名の参加者がいたのですが、なぜか私たち夫婦が1番手に指名。
よほどウズウズが顔に出ていたのかもしれませんね。
さて私たちが乗り込んだパラシュートが解き放たれると、あっという間に大空に向けてブワーっと浮上！
ものすごい勢いなので一瞬ドキッとはしましたが、ほとんど怖さは感じませんでした。
そしてある程度の高さまで行くとまるでイスに座っているかのように安定するので、そこからはもう優雅な空中散歩です。
ダイヤモンドヘッドもワイキキのホテル群も遠く眼下に見える大パノラマは、もう圧巻の一言でした。
パラセイリングはマリンスポーツとは言っても、実際はただ座っているだけなので、お子さんでもご年配の方でも気軽に楽しめると思います。
思っているより怖くないです！
ハワイに来たら多くの方に絶対に体験してほしいアクティビティです！

Ziplining at Climb Works was the greatest experience ever. My friend and I are scared of heights but we felt very safe and had a lot of fun. Our guides Jackie, Reece and Aio were super kind and made us laugh the entire time we were there. They lightened the mood and helped me forget about how high up I was. Even after we finished ziplining my friend and I could not stop talking about the experience and the fun we had on our time during this activity. I really recommend going to Climb Works if you are interested in going ziplining. You will definitely not regret going! I definitely cannot wait to go again!!!
It was truly a walk in the sky! Floating in the air while gazing at Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head was a calm and very elegant experience! Since I was with a group of foreigners, the driver and the boat instructor spoke only English, but they occasionally mixed in some Japanese, which made it very enjoyable. It's not an intense activity, so I think families with small children can enjoy it with peace of mind!
まさに空中散歩！
ワイキキビーチやダイアモンドヘッドを眺めながらの空中浮遊は穏やかで、とても優雅な時間を過ごすことが出来ました！外国人グループと一緒だったので、送迎のドライバーさんや、ボートのインストラクターなど、それぞれ英語だけでしたが、時おり日本語も交えて話してくださり、とても楽しかったです。
激しいアクティビティではないので、小さなお子さま連れでも安心して楽しめると思います！

Seeing dolphins up close was for the adults, while the children had a blast interacting with various sea animals at the facility, creating wonderful memories.

The pickup was on time, and the staff's response was good. However, I couldn't enjoy parasailing. I had imagined that I would feel a sense of speed like riding a motorcycle at a high altitude, but it was more stable than I expected when I tried it. I was expecting something more like a thrill ride, so it felt a bit disappointing.
ピックアップも時間通りでスタッフの対応も良かった。
ただ自分がパラセイリングを楽しめなかった。
自分の勝手な想像だかバイクを乗っているような疾走感を高い場所で感じられるのかなと思っていたが、乗ってみると思った以上に安定していた。
絶叫マシン的なのを期待していたので肩透かしをくらったかんじです。

It was just a 10-minute program, but I was able to feed the dolphins three types of fish, dance with them using my favorite toy that I chose, and take a lot of photos with the dolphins. I'm really glad I participated in such a fulfilling program!
I think my enjoyment was also due to my complete lack of issues with English. Since communication with the trainers and the reception staff is in English, I imagine that those who lack confidence in their English conversation skills might only enjoy about 70-80% of the experience.
たったの10分のプログラムでしたが
イルカに3種類の餌の魚をあげたり
自分の選んだ好きなおもちゃでイルカと一緒に踊ったり、イルカと沢山の写真を撮っていただいて大変身のあるプログラムで参加して良かったです！
ただ私は英語能力に関しては全く問題ないのも楽しめた要因だと思います。トレーナーの皆さんや受付の方とコミュニケーションは英語になるので英会話に自信が無い方は楽しさも7-8割になるのかなぁと想像してます。

this was my first visit to oahu and the i had booked an introductory tour. it was a perfect start. our tour guide was really lovely with a good sense of humour . he was also knowledgeable about the local history and little areas of interest being a local interest.
there were lots of visits to some beautiful beaches and enough time at the waimea botanical gardens to go for a wander. the lunch was delicious. topped at the end a visit to the dole plantation.
i wish we had more time at the plantation to actually go out on the train to be amongst the growing pineapples which would have added to the experience
Aloha Neeti,
Thanks for your kind review. We have many places to go on the tour and have to return to Waikiki on time so we only can stay at Dole 30-45 minutes.
Aloha,
Michael
It’s only a 30 min jet ski ride. Not 1 hr. So was disappointed. It was over really fast and you are only allowed to go in a circle lol
I thought snorkeling would be about swimming close to dolphins, but what I actually saw was dolphins swimming quickly below. After the snorkeling ended and we got back on the boat, I was lucky enough to see a large group of dolphins up close, and I thought it would have been great to snorkel with them at that moment! I heard that this was still considered lucky.
However, since it’s nature, I had to convince myself that it can’t be helped. The dolphin snorkeling was a bit disappointing in that sense, but unexpectedly, I also got to see turtles while snorkeling and tried stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, which was really fun. The staff were great too! The weather was beautiful, and it was a really enjoyable experience.
Since it’s nature, I guess luck with the weather plays a role, and while it was different from my image of dolphin snorkeling, I had a great time.
シュノーケリングでイルカ、思ってたのは近くでイルカと泳ぐという感じだったけど、実際見れたのは、下の方を早いスピードで泳ぐイルカを見る、というものでした。
シュノーケリングが終わり船に上がってからの方が、運良く近くでイルカの群れを大量に見るという感じで、この時にイルカと一緒にシュノーケリングできたらいいなぁと思いました！これでも運が良いらしいです。
でも、自然が相手だからしょうがないかな、と自分を納得させ。
イルカシュノーケリングはそういう意味で期待外れだったけど、まさかのシュノーケリングで亀も見れたし、はじめてSUPをしてみたりと、とても面白かったです。スタッフの方もいい感じでした！晴天ですごく良かった、面白かったです。
やっぱり自然相手なので、天気など運も関係するのでしょう、イルカシュノーケリングのイメージとは違ったけどとても楽しめました。

I was nervous during my first parasailing experience, but the view was beautiful and it was amazing! Although the language is English, the staff could speak a little Japanese, so there were no issues!

Great experience but wish it was with better weather. High tide and very choppy waters made visibility difficult. Still a good opportunity!
The early morning pickup was surprisingly ahead of schedule! It wasn't Hawaiian time! (laughs)
It took about an hour to reach the harbor. We had to wait on the boat for a while before encountering dolphins. However, we eventually came across a pod of dolphins!
When jumping into the water, you need to go with momentum; otherwise, it might be scary for those who aren't used to diving or snorkeling. We changed locations a few times and dove three times in total. It was quite intense (of course, it's okay to stay on the boat if you get tired).
Unfortunately, we didn't see many dolphins underwater, but after getting back on the boat, we encountered a pod of nearly 100 dolphins! After dolphin watching, we moved to a snorkeling point where we saw turtles and played with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP).
It was quite a packed experience, and the crew was cheerful, making the time fly by. I would love to participate again.
Oh, the eco-bag that serves as a substitute for a graduation certificate can be picked up at the Waikiki office (2nd floor of Waikiki Shopping Plaza) after returning to Waikiki. Surprisingly, it comes in handy for shopping in Japan, so I recommend getting it! (laughs)
1早朝のお迎えでしたが時間よりも早くバスが迎えにきました。ハワイアンタイムではないことに驚き！笑
1時間ほどで船着場へ。
参加した会は中々イルカに出会えず暫く船上で待機をしました。が、無事イルカの群れに遭遇！
海に飛び込むときは勢いで行かないとダイビングやシュノーケルに慣れていない人は怖いかも…
何箇所か場所を変えて計3回ダイブしました。
結構ハードです（勿論疲れたら船の上に残っていてもOK）
残念ながら水中ではあまりイルカの姿を見られなかったのですが船に上がった後に100頭近くの群れに出会えました！
イルカウォッチの後はシュノーケルポイントへ移動して亀を見たりSUPをしたりして遊びました。
かなり盛り沢山でクルーの皆さんも明るくあっという間に時間が過ぎていきました。
また参加したいです。
あ、卒業証書替わりのエコバッグはワイキキに帰った後ワイキキのオフィス（ワイキキショッピングプラザ2F）へ貰いに行くパターンでした。
これが意外と日本で買い物をする時に使えるので貰っておくのがオススメです笑

My son saw it on TV and said he wanted to try parasailing! There are various operators in Hawaii, but we decided on one that had no unnecessary options, reasonable prices, and a short duration, which were appealing to us. We booked a 150m session starting at 9 AM. We had a simple breakfast in our hotel room (spam onigiri and drinks), used the restroom, and waited for the pickup in the hotel lobby. Based on reviews mentioning seasickness on the boat, both my son and I took motion sickness medication on the bus. My son has never experienced motion sickness, but just in case. After giving birth, I have become a bit prone to nausea on rides like roller coasters.
The boat departs from the marina near the Prince, past the Hilton. There were five groups together. Once the boat went offshore, the parasailing opened up with a whoosh! The rainbow-colored parachute stood out beautifully against the sky, and it was so cute. Our excitement skyrocketed. After putting on life jackets and equipment, we took off in order. We were the second group. We quickly ascended to 150m, and the view was unlike anything we had ever seen! We could see the mountains of Hawaii, the outline of the island, and our parachute's shadow on the ocean, which felt absolutely wonderful. Initially, I was worried about the fear of heights, but it was so high (laughs) that I wasn't scared at all. Up there, it was stable with no swaying or wind. Both my son and I kept exclaiming how great it felt! The scenery was amazing! After about 10 minutes, the descent began, but I wasn't scared at all during this time either. The moment we landed, my son kept saying he wanted to do it again! He was laughed at by the others who were with us. The total time, including the round trip, was about an hour and a half. It was on time as stated on the website, and we were able to use the rest of the morning meaningfully after returning to the hotel. The crew was attentive, making sure everyone didn’t get seasick with high-fives, encouragement, pranks, and jokes. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We will definitely repeat this. For families with children, I recommend the early morning sessions when they aren't too tired.
Lastly, a realistic note. One person in our group was nervous from the start, worried about getting seasick, and actually ended up vomiting on the boat. They mentioned they had taken motion sickness medication as well. Since there are many other fun things to do in Hawaii, I don't think those who are prone to motion sickness in their daily lives should force themselves to do this. Since it's a trip, you don't have to be fixated on parasailing. However, if you have experience getting nauseous on extraordinary rides like roller coasters, you don't need to be too nervous. You get to see the best views, and it's a unique experience of traveling, so it's better to relax and just enjoy it!
息子がテレビで見て、パラセーリングをやってみたい！と言い出しました。ハワイでは色々な業者さんがいますが、不要なオプションがなくて値段が手頃、所用時間が短い、この2点が私たちには魅力的だったので決定。9時から、150mを申し込みました。当日の朝食はホテルの部屋で簡単に済ませ(スパムおにぎりと飲み物)、トイレも済ませ、ホテルのロビーでピックアップを待ちました。口コミで、ボートで酔うと書いあったのを参考に、酔い止めはバスの中で、息子も私も飲みました。息子は乗り物で酔った経験なしですが、念のため。私は出産後、ジェットコースターなどでは少し酔うようになったので。
ボートは、ヒルトンの先、プリンス近くのマリーナから出ます。5組が一緒。ボートが沖合に出ると、パラセーリングがバサっ！と、開かれます。レインボーカラーのパラシュートが空に映え、すごく可愛い。テンションがいっきに上がります。ライフジャケットと器具をつけたら、順に、すぐに飛びます。私たちは2組目。150m まであっという間に上がり、見たことのない景色が！ ハワイの山々が見えて、島のラインが分かり、海に私たちのパラシュートの影がうつり、とてもとても気持ちがいいです。当初、高さへの恐怖を心配しましたが、高すぎて（笑）、まったく怖くなかったです。上空はゆれもなく、風もなく、安定してました。私も息子も、気持ちいいー！を連発。景色が最高でした！ 10分ぐらい経つと下降が始まりますが、この間もまったく怖くなかったです。降りた瞬間、息子は、またやりたい！すぐやりたい！と言いまくり。一緒に乗っていた方に爆笑されてました。所用時間、往復もふくめ、総所要時間は1時間半程度。HPに書いてあったとおりのオンタイムで、ホテルに戻ってからも午前中の残りを有意義に使えました。乗組員のスタッフの方も、みんなが酔わないように、ハイタッチや声がけ、いたずらやジョークなど、ずっと、気にして声をかけてくださいます。息子も私も大満喫。私たちは必ずまたリピートします。お子さん連れは、疲れが溜まってない、朝早い回をオススメします。
最後に現実的な話。一緒のグループにいらした方は、最初から、酔いやすいから心配……とナーバスで、実際にボートで酔って吐いていました。酔い止めも飲んでいたとのこと。他に楽しいことが沢山あるハワイなので、バスや電車など、日頃の生活でも酔いやすい方は無理してやることはないと思います。せっかの旅行なのでパラセーリングにこだわらなくてもです。ただ、私みたいにジェットコースターとか、非日常的な乗り物で酔った経験のある方ならば、そこまでナーバスにならなくても。最高の景色が見れて、旅行ならではの経験だから、あまり構えず、とにかく楽しんだ方がいいです。

If I go to Hawaii, I will definitely ride it! You can see it from offshore at Waikiki Beach, and I enjoy riding the waves. Please take care of me next time I go to Hawaii.

We had a great time. Despite Neptune whipping sand up into the water making the clarity poor the crew made up for it and ensured we had a great time. We still saw green sea turtles both below and above the water. We had a great time just sailing the Cat when it was clear that snorkeling conditions weren't great.
I have used this place several times to celebrate my father's birthday. It started with a beautiful sunset, and after dinner, we went up to the cabin to enjoy the amazing night view. Each year, more hotels are being built, making the night view more vibrant.
親父の誕生日祝いに何度か利用させてもらってます。きれいな夕日からはじまり、食後はキャビンに上がって最高の夜景が楽しめました。年々ホテルが増えてきて、夜景がにぎやかになってきてます。
Aloha! We are glad to hear that you had a wonderful cruise with us! We are happy that you enjoyed the sunset and the buffet. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and for participating in the Aloha spirit. We hope to see you again soon. Mahalo!
