Awesome but expensive for what it was ...... 113$ for 2x15mn of boat and only 20mn in the cage with sharks, too short....

A very touching and meaningful experience.
Regardless of what Island you may stay at it is very easy to Island hop.

It was nice to be greeted by a smiling face and fresh lei's after a 12 hour flight. Our greeter was very nice and took us to the baggage claim. However, we had another group that did not receive their greeting (not sure what company they booked it through) and they were disappointed.

My buddy Jim and I took this tour and we were completely overwhelmed by how incredible the experience was! We have amazing photos from our underwater cameras to show all of our friends and we were astounded by the number of sharks we saw. This is a once in a lifetime experience that you should NOT miss - take this tour, you will not regret it!!!

This was a wonderful greeting for our sisters vacation to Kauai. Our greeter Leilani was wonderful. She met us at our gate in Honolulu with a cheery Aloha greeting and beautiful flower leis. She showed us the garden area and took pictures for us. She also escorted us to our connecting flight. This gave us a great start to a terrific Hawaiian vacation.
Thank you Leilani and Honolulu Lei Geetings.

The lei greeter that we got was really nice and treated us well. Even my wife (who I surprised with this) liked it.
She sent us to the shuttle that would take us to our rented car and answered any questions we wanted to ask. I would recommend this to anyone!

We participated as a family. It's an experience that you don't get to have often, so of course, adults can enjoy it too, but the kids were definitely excited the whole time. They were thrilled to see so many fish and turtles. I'm glad we took them. It became a wonderful memory.
家族で参加しました。
なかなかできない体験ですので、もちろん大人も楽しめますが、やっぱり子供達は終始興奮でした。
たくさんのお魚や亀に大喜び。

It was my first experience! It was so much fun. You rarely get to have such an experience, right? We were the first to jump from the boat, and there was a rainbow right above us!! I was moved by the feeling of flying in the sky, the beautiful scenery, and being able to see the rainbow! Then, on our way back to the port after everyone finished jumping, we unexpectedly encountered a pod of dolphins! We were able to see wild dolphins up close. A series of lucky events made it the best trip ever.
初めての体験!とってもたのしかったです。こんな体験めったにできないですもんね。私達は乗った船の中で一番に飛んだのですが、ちょうど真上に虹がでていたんです!!空を飛んでいることと、景色がとってもきれいなこと、虹を見れたこと、すべてに感動!そして全員が飛び終わって港に戻る途中、偶然イルカの群れに遭遇!野生のイルカを間近でみることができました。いくつものラッキーが重なって最高の旅になりました。

Didn't get the name of our delivery girl, but after we received our lei, she helped us out by taking us directly to the busses that would take us to our airport.
I've since found that there are several other services like this, and dozens of shops near China Town, but in the end, I still felt this was the best value overall for what we received as a bonus; the assitance.

My family and I went on this tour last year, and we cannot wait to visit the islands once again to experience more whale watching!
The onboard whale expert was very knowlegable and even though my daughter peppered her with questions throughout the tour, she was very attentive and answered each one throughly.
I do wish that there was a bit more outside deck space since it was rather limited, but there was plenty of space indoors, and there were quite a few windows as well.
Great tour!

We participated as a family of four with our one-and-a-half-year-old twins. There are not many activities available for one-year-olds, so we created wonderful family memories. The kids were also happy to touch the dolphins, which was great. We had a lot of fun!

Since I applied online, I was a bit anxious until the day of the event, but I was able to go parasailing without any issues. I especially appreciated the kind assistance we received even though we changed our schedule just two days before our departure.
The meeting point on the day might be a little hard to find, but there is a police station nearby, so it might be a good idea to ask if you're unsure. A friendly female police officer helped us out. Since it's a place with many tourists, I think they get asked for directions often.
There were others who boarded from the same location as us, and everyone was foreign, so the car was filled with non-Japanese people! I was quite anxious, but when we arrived at the site, I was relieved to see some Japanese people there as well. Additionally, during the parasailing, everyone was Japanese, which made me feel more at ease!
There were six groups on our boat, and everyone applauded when we took off. It created a sense of unity... Falling into the sea at the end was also quite amusing. I was so nervous that I didn't even get seasick... However, for those who are worried, it might be a good idea to take some medication.
Lastly, we paid a $5 tip for the two of us. The photos (negatives) cost $15, but since it's a rare experience, I don't think that's too expensive.
インターネットからの申し込みだったので、当日まで不安でしたが無事パラセイリングをする事ができました。
特に私たちは、出発の2日前に日程を変更したにもかかわらず親切に対応していただき、有難かったです。
当日の集合場所が、少しわかりづらいかもしれませんが、近くに警察署があるので、わからなければ聞いてみるのもいいかもしれません。親切に女性の警察官が教えてくださいました。観光客が多い場所なので、よく聞かれるんだとおもいます。
私たち以外にも同じ場所から乗車された方もいましたが、皆さん外国の方で、車の中も全員外人さん!
不安いっぱいでしたが、いざ現地につくと日本人の方もいらっしゃり安心しました。
また、パラセイリング時には全員が日本人だったので安心でした!
私たちの船には6組いましたが、全員が飛び立つ時に拍手がおこります。団結力ができるような・・
最後に海に落とされるのも面白いですよ。
緊張のあまり船酔いもなく・・
ただ、心配な方はお薬を飲んだ方がいいかもしれません。
最後にチップは二人で5ドル支払いました。
写真(ネガフィルム)は15ドル必要ですが、めったに出来ない経験なので、そこまで高くないとおもいます。

I can't believe I could experience parasailing at such a low price! I chose the cheapest course, but I had plenty of fun. We went out to sea on a boat, and the guys driving the boat and preparing the equipment were very kind and quite playful. As we gradually went higher, I didn't feel scared at all. It felt like floating gently, and the view was amazing!!! I could see the ocean and Diamond Head beautifully. While I was flying, a plane took off right at that moment, and it was thrilling to see the plane in the air. I flew with an American woman, and we chatted and had a great time. It became a wonderful memory.
パラセイリングがこんなに安価で体験できるなんて!
一番安いコースにしましたが、充分に楽しめました。
ボートで沖まで出て、そこから飛ばしてくれるのですが、船を運転するお兄さんも用具を準備してくれるお兄さんもとても親切でとってもお茶目な人たちでした。
徐々に高くなっていくので、全然怖くなかったです。
ふんわり浮いている感じで、景色は最高です!!!海もダイアモンドヘッドもとてもきれいに見えました。
私が飛んでいる時にちょうど飛行機が飛び立ったところで、空中で飛行機を見れたのも感動でした。
私はアメリカ人の女性と一緒に飛びましたが、おしゃべりしたりしてとても楽しかったです。
とてもいい思い出になりました。

Nice tour - interesting tidbits along the way. I think the Explorer's Tour is worth the extra. You get to venture where the ropes are. You do some bending and ducking as you enter the various door entry areas on the ship. I think you get more out of the ship tour with the guide than just visiting without a tour guide.
ps - I selected good for families but that is also a judgment call depending on how mindful the children are in dealing with tight quarters and time-constraints to visit various areas of the ship.

Last year, I went with my 5-year-old and mom again.
I definitely recommend the Big Splash Pack.
After changing, first go get a free drink to quench your thirst.
It's a shame that we didn't get to try the FlowRider.
With bodyboarding, the instructor helps you, making it easy to take off.
My 5-year-old also got pushed into the big waves for their first long ride.
There are plenty of slides for small children, so they can play without getting bored.
The attraction called Shaka is especially thrilling to watch.
You should definitely give it a try.
The BBQ lunch was also a hit, so be sure to participate.
昨年に続き5才のちびとママ行ってきました。
だんぜんビックスプラッシュパックがおすすめです。
着替えたらまずは、フりードリンクを取りに行きのどを潤してください。
ダフローライダーは、やっていなかったのが残念。
ボディーボードは、インストラクターが押してくれるのでらくらくテイクオフができます。
5歳のチビも押してもらいうねりの大きいところから人生初のロングライディング。
小さい子供向けの滑り台もたくさんあって飽きないであそべます。
特にシャカというアトラクションは見ていてもすごいスリル。
ぜひお試しを。
お昼のBBQランチも合格点是非参加してみてください。

Would absolutely a hundred percent recommend parasailing to anyone and everyone. It was our first time and it was thrilling--not scary at all. For the price and the length of the event, this company was fine, but there was no friendliness, no smiles, no checking on how we were doing. They had signs everywhere asking for tips but they did absolutely nothing at all to earn them. Additionally, the lobby and office was heaving Japanese-geared, most of the prominant signs are in Japanese and the lady at the front desk was difficult to understand through her accent.

I surprised my husband's first visit to Hawaii with a lei greeting . . . how can you go and not have a lei greeting anyway? They were right there when we arrived, escorted us to baggage claim and then contacted and escorted us to our shuttle which we had not expected. That was great since we were not sure where and how far we had to go to get our luggage, etc. I would highly recommend Hawaii Activities to everyone and would probably contact them again for my next visit.
