This is the second time I've taken advantage of this activity. The staff meets right at the plane and makes the experience a unforgetable start to a Hawaiian vacation.
The staff is outstanding, the lei's are beautiful, and the experience well worth the price.

This was our first time to Hawaii and wanted it to make it special. I booked the dinner not knowing what to expect. Come to find out we had a great time. We did the 3 Star dinner with the Lobster and Steak and it didn't disappoint. If you have the money its the best way to go. What really impressed me was the fact that we got caught up watching the view from the outside deck dinner was already served and almost all the guest had finished their meal. Our server Clifford was nice enough to keep our meal in the kitchen and brought it to our table when we sat. The show was great and the audience particpation at the end was fun. They also had a 2 man band playing local island music as we enjoyed our dinner. My wife and I agreed that the next trip(whch we are already planning) will include this cruise again. It's a nice way to see Waikii coastline with Diamond head at the top.

The activity itself is something you must participate in when you come to Hawaii; it's filled with fun that you definitely can't experience in Japan. I would like to request an earlier hotel pickup time to enjoy it even more.
アクティビティーそのものは、ハワイに来れば必ず参加している、絶対日本では味わえない楽しさ満点のものです。もっと楽しみたいので、ホテルピックアップ時刻を早くしてもらいたいと思います。

But hated wearing the "bright yellow floaties". At first, when these were pulled out, I was saying..."oh crap, you've got to be kidding!" But then when we hit the water, I realized it's not such big deal to look like a dork, we all do. The water was amazing until I got hit in the nose by a fellow dork. My snorkling was done at that point. I was greeted by the friendly on board crew and a warm shower. The entire trip was completely worth it. The two above neg's were not a big deal. The crew, the sites, the water, the food, drinks and friendly banter of fellow passengers was great. I highly recommend this cruise. Thank you.

ok this water park was definitely not as advertised as it is undergoing renovations. also, there was no 7-story drop as advertised, there are just some crappy slides in it's place. the park is more directed to kids. not all slides were open, they would alternate opening different one's and the lineups were HUGE as a result. Da Flowrider was a sick ride for anyone wanting a surfing experience, and the simulated wave pool was cool too. The staff were definitely excellent though.
Not recommended for anyone looking for a adrenaline rush from slides!
otherwise, have fun!

haha, yes misleading title, BUT what an event! the sharks were amazing and the staff were awsome. The staff know so much about the sharks and ensure ur safety at all times. You get a long time in the water, and lots of views of sharks and small fishes. I recommend going as early as possible to avoid waves as it was hard to breathe at times; and we took the 10am outing! Sign the petition they offer you at the end because wildlife groups are trying to shut them down, and they are in no way harming these amazing sea creatures!
have fun!

the crew was AWSOME. In fact, the whole day prior to going up my wife was trying to pay me what i paid to no do the event because she was so scared and we even had to go first! I told her to suck it up and it ended up being her favorite event, and we went for the highest one at 500 feet! They guys were careful and kind to help her through it. The ride was beautiful in the air and on the boat! Ignore the reviews that say the guys hastle you for tips and there isn't $20 dollar bills all over the boat. There is some on a pole near the front, maybe 6, and the guys say if you enjoyed the ride tips are welcomed. So if all that makes you feel pressured, then stop whining and enjoy the ride or don't go at all!
have fun!

My son his friend and I took the 2 hour ATV tour with Jacob as our guide. It COULDN NOT HAVE BEEN GREATER! The scenery was absolutely incredible and the ride was like being on a roller coaster ride that you have control of. Don't get me wrong it wasn't scary, it was exciting. No I'm in my 50's and I had just as much fun as my son who is 21 and our friend who is 17. This activity just can't be beat!

My daughter and her best friend were given a trip to Hawaii as a graduation gift. They went parasailing while there. They had a great time doing it. As a way to remember this once in a lifetime experience, I paid for the 24 exposure roll of pictures to be taken. When they returned home, the roll of film was brought to be processed. We were disappointed when none of the pictures came out. The negatives showed only two partial pictures, neither of which were the girls.

The staff's explanations in Japanese were easy to understand and sufficient for my 4-year-old daughter who participated with me. We were very excited to see many sea turtles. The only slight disappointment was that, although the waves were calm, the visibility wasn't as clear as I had expected.

Before I book this activity I thought as an individual, they will put myself on the "parachute" only, but they weren't, they simply put me with two other strangers together, I don't even know them, I feel so bad. That's why I didn't leave them a penny. The shuttle drivers is a nice guy, I leave him 10 bucks.

I highly recommend this tour to anyone who has never been to Hawaii!! Our tour guide was super nice and very knowledgeable. We rode the beach cruiser and it was really nice to just ride along the beach, but you have to be careful as you do share the road with cars. It was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and spend the whole day at the North Shore. We had an awesome time and I cannot wait to do it again.

I participated with a friend in July☆
I was worried about whether I could stand up since it was my first time surfing, but both of us managed to stand and it was so much fun!!
I am really grateful to our instructor, Yuko. She taught us the basics properly, and when I mentioned that I wanted to surf in Japan, she shared a lot of information.
Yuko is kind, thorough, and... cute♪
Thank you so much!!
It was so enjoyable that although we originally planned to surf for just one day, we added another day on-site!! I highly recommend it for beginners☆
You can participate with peace of mind, and communication is clear, plus they teach the basics in an easy-to-understand way.
If you go to Hawaii, definitely give it a try!!
I will definitely participate again on my next trip to Hawaii!! Yuko, I hope to see you again then☆★☆★
7月に友達と2人で参加しました☆
初めてのサーフィンで立てるかな???と心配していましたが、2人共なんとか立ててすっごく楽しかったです!!

This time, I really wanted to go tandem parasailing in Hawaii, so I researched various sites and decided on this one. The many positive reviews from past visitors were a deciding factor. However, my only concern was that it seemed like no one would speak Japanese. My wife was worried about that too. On the day of the activity, while waiting near the Duke Kahanamoku statue, a van arrived. As expected, the driver clearly didn't seem to speak Japanese. From there, we went around to various hotels, and a total of five groups joined us, but everyone except us was a foreigner who could speak English. My wife had an even more anxious expression on her face... Meanwhile, the driver was explaining things in English, but I couldn't understand anything (laughs).
Then we arrived at Kealoha Bay. When we showed our tickets, we were given a paper with the time and the boat we would be taking, and we waited for a bit. Additionally, it seemed that the four groups we were with were going to do jet skiing, so they headed in a different direction from us...
When it was time to go to the designated boat, there were four other foreigners on board, and we were all set to go. Up until this point, it sounds a bit negative, but from here on, it was completely different. The group we were with included a family of five (the wife was just along for the ride and took photos), a couple in their 40s, and two friends in their 20s, along with us, and everyone was cheerful. The captain? and the young camera assistant explained everything in a bright and easy-to-understand manner, and they provided explanations in Japanese at key points. There was a place to store our belongings, so it was no problem to bring a small backpack.
We headed out on the boat, and the parasailing began! As for the parasailing itself, it was amazing and exceeded my expectations. The flight lasted about ten minutes, and it was so much fun. The young man took photos for us. It was an additional $15, but I was satisfied with the quality. They handed it to us on film, so be sure to keep it in your carry-on to avoid exposure.
So, having a lot of anxiety was part of the fun. The mention of adventure in our belongings might be related to this experience.
今回、ハワイでどうしてもパラセーリングをタンデムでやりたくて、いろんなサイトで調べてここに決めました。
過去の書き込みもいい感想が多かったのが決め手。
ただ、日本語が通じそうにないのが唯一の不安。嫁もそこをずっと心配していました。そして、当日、デュークカナハモク像の近くで待っていると、一台のバンが。予想通り、明らかに日本語が通じそうにないドライバー。そこから、様々なホテルを回り、計5組が一緒になりましたが、私達以外は全て英語が通じそうな外国人ばかり。嫁の顔には一層不安な表情が・・・そんな中ドライバーはずっと英語で説明なようなことをしていましたが、一切わかりません(笑)
そして、ケアロ湾に到着。ここでチケットを見せると、時間と乗るボートの書いた紙を渡されて、しばし待つ。おまけに一緒に乗った4組はどうやらジェットスキーをやるようで僕らとは別の方向へ・・・
そして、時間になって指定されたボートに行くと、別の外国人が4組いて、ボートに乗せられました。
ここまでがなにかネガティブな内容ですが、ここからは全く違います。
一緒に乗った外国人は5人家族が一組(奥さんはただ同乗してカメラ係)、40代の夫婦と20代の女性の友達2人と我々でしたが、みんな陽気。船長?とカメラ係の若者が明るくわかりやすく説明してくれるし、要所は日本語で説明してくれます。荷物も置く場所があるので、ナップサックに入れていけば問題なし。
ボートで沖まで進み、パラセーリングがスタート!
肝心のパラセーリングはといえば、最高で、期待以上でした。およそ10分間のフライトですが、楽しくてしょうがない。写真は、この若者がとってくれます。15ドル別料金ですが、出来も満足ですよ。フィルムで渡されるので、手荷物に入れて感光しないように。
というわけで、不安一杯で望むのも楽しみの一つ。持ち物に冒険心と書かれているのはこのあたりがあるのかも。

We participated with eight people, including a five-year-old. I had heard that there were no Japanese staff, but I was relieved to find a very kind Japanese female staff member. The parasailing was a lot of fun, but I got seasick on the boat before we reached the sea. While feeling good is important, I think motion sickness medication is necessary. Perhaps because the wind was strong, we rode in groups of four. I wished we could have gone in pairs instead. Also, we were told that if we felt like it, we could give a tip, but I thought the fee should have included the tip... so my family ended up paying. The photos were available for purchase along with the negatives.
5歳児含め8名で参加しました。
スタッフの方に日本人はいないと聞いてましたが、
とても親切な日本人スタッフの女性が居て安心しました。
パラセイリングはとても楽しかったのですが、船で海に出るまでに酔ってしまいました。
気持ちも大切ですが、酔い止めは必要かと思います。
風が強かったからか、4人ずつ乗りました。
2人ずつ乗りたかったなと少し思いました。
それからチップを気持ちがあればお願いしますと言われたのですが、料金にはチップが含まれてたはず...と思いながら、家族が支払いました...。
写真は撮ってくれた写真をネガごと購入するかたちでした。
