I went to Hawaii with my girlfriend and went parasailing. A cheerful driver came to the bus meeting point and always made us laugh! There was also an attentive advisor on site who helped to create a fun atmosphere, so I felt safe getting on. I want to do it again when I go back to Hawaii!\(^^)/

I participated with the mindset of going for 150 meters! I'm not sure if it was the right choice, but it felt really good up in the sky!!
However, during the promised splash into the sea, my calves hit the water's surface hard, and most of my calves ended up with bruises. I couldn't walk for a while because it hurt...
Other than that, the staff was friendly, and I enjoyed chatting with the people on the same boat!
どうせやるなら150mで!と参加しました!
正解だったのかどうかわかりませんが、空の上では、とっても気持ちよかったです!!
ただ、お約束の海にボチャンの時に、ふくらはぎを思い切り海面に打ちつけられ、ふくらはぎのほとんどが青あざになり、しばらく痛くて歩けませんでした。。。
それ以外は、スタッフもフレンドリーだし、同じボートに乗った人とおしゃべりしたり、楽しめました!

I signed up for the afternoon course and headed to the designated pickup location about 10 minutes before my 1:30 appointment, where they were already waiting for me. There were six Japanese participants and three foreigners, making a total of nine people. Once we boarded the boat and set off, we were handed a paper with safety instructions written in Japanese to read before actually flying, without much explanation. I felt a bit anxious, wondering if everything would be okay, but when I was chosen as part of the first group and was connected to the parachute, I was suddenly up in the air!
Once we were up, the view was all ocean, with Diamond Head visible in the distance—a breathtaking sight that you can only see while parasailing! It was mostly stable up there, so it wasn't scary, but occasionally being buffeted by the wind was quite thrilling! I think we were up for about 10 minutes, but at some point, I started wishing to come down, even though we had plenty of time in the air. The foreigners in our group seemed to have signed up for a lower course, but after seeing the height of our course, I thought theirs looked really low! If you're going to participate, I definitely recommend going for the highest option.
The photos taken during the flight were sold for $30, and you could choose to pay in cash on the boat or with a card once we got to the port. I would definitely recommend paying in cash. I chose to pay by card, but they told me it was $33 instead of $30. I accepted that it might be a card processing fee at the time, but looking back, a 10% fee seems too high. It's better to bring $40 in cash, including a tip for the crew.
I was very satisfied with the parasailing experience itself, but when I looked at the photo disk I bought for $30, I found that more than half of the contents were photos of people I didn't know, and about half of our photos were blurry and unviewable. That's why I'm giving this a one-star deduction.
午後からのコースで申し込み、1時半の約束に対して10分前頃に指定されたピックアップ場所に向かったところ、すでに迎えに来てくれていました。
参加した回は日本人が6人と外国人の方が3人で9人でした。船に乗り込んで出発すると、沖合に出て実際に飛ぶまで、これを読んでおけと注意事項が日本語で書かれた紙を渡されて、特に説明もないまま、大丈夫かな?と不安になりながらも1組目に選ばれて訳のわからないままパラシュートに繋がれると、あっという間に上空にいました!
上がってみると周りは全て海で遠くにダイヤモンドヘッドが見える景色は、パラセイリングでないと見れない最高の景色でした!
上空ではほとんど安定しているので怖くないのですが、たまに風にあおられてヒヤヒヤするのがまさにエキストリームでした!上空にいた時間は10分ぐらいだったと思いますが、途中からもう下ろしてくれと思い始めるぐらい時間は十二分に飛ばせてくれます。一緒の回だった外国人の人達はもっと低いコースに申し込んでいたようでしたが、自分達のコースの高さを見た後にそれを見ると、低っ!と思ってしまうぐらいだったので、参加するならやっぱり1番高いのがいいと思います。
飛んでいる間に撮った写真は30ドルで販売していて、船の上で現金で渡すか港についてからカードで払うかを選ぶことができるのですが、これは絶対に現金の方がいいです。自分はカードを選んだところ、そこでは30ドルではなく33ドルと言われ、カード支払い手数料かな?とその場では納得していましたが、今思えば手数料10%は高すぎますよね。参加する際は船員へのチップと合わせて40ドルは現金で持っていったほうがいいです。
パラセイリング自体は大満足でしたが、30ドルも出して買った写真ディスクを見てみたら、ディスクの中身の半分以上が見たこともない他人の写真で、自分達の写真も半分ぐらいがぶれていて見れたものではなかったのが残念で星1つ減らさせいただきます。

I wanted to go snorkeling in the Angel's Sea, so I booked this tour. When it was time for the pickup, no one came to get me. I was told to call if they didn't arrive after 10 minutes, so I was thinking I should call soon when they finally showed up. It was a large bus, so maybe one reason for the delay was that it couldn't enter the pickup area? Once I got on the bus, it was filled with foreigners. Furthermore, the guide was speaking in English. I thought there would be a Japanese guide?? I felt quite anxious.
However, when it was time to board the boat, we were able to separate into a group of Japanese and another group. On the boat for the Japanese group, there was a Japanese guide, so I felt relieved. Our guide, YUKIKO, was funny, kind, and absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for taking so many pictures!
The sandbar was truly beautiful, like something out of a painting, with a stunning shallow sea spread out before us. I brought a float, but it might not have been necessary here since the water didn't even reach my chest at its deepest. After that, we went further out to snorkel. There were so many fish and the sea was beautiful. For lunch, we had hamburgers. There was also beer available for an extra charge on the boat.
Since it was a boat, the restroom situation was unfortunately what it was. But our guide, YUKIKO, made it enjoyable, and it was a very memorable and fun tour.
天使の海でシュノーケルがしたくて、このツアーを予約。
ピックアップの時間になってもお迎えが来ない。10分経っても来なかったら電話をとなっていたので、そろそろ電話してみないとと思っていたらやっと来た。大型バスだったので、ピックアップ場所に入ることができなかったのも遅れた原因の一つですかね? バスに乗ると外人ばかり。さらにはガイドさんも英語でしゃべってるぅ。日本語ガイドなはず?? かなりの不安感。
でも船に乗るときに、日本人のみとそれ以外に分かれて乗船でき、日本人のみの船には日本人のガイドさんもいたのでホッとしました。おもしろくてやさしくてサイコーなガイドのYUKIKOさん。たくさん写真撮ってくれてどうもありがとう。
サンドバーは本当絵のような写真のようなキレイな浅瀬の海が広がっていました。浮き輪持って行ったけど、ここでは必要なかったかも。深くても胸までいかないくらいだったから。その後もっと沖へ行って、シュノーケル。たっくさんのお魚とキレイな海。ランチにはハンバーガーもいただきました。船内ではビールも別料金ではありましたけど飲めました。
船なのでお手洗いが残念なのは仕方ない。。ガイドのYUKIKOさんが楽しませてくれて、とっても思い出に残る楽しいツアーでした。

Dear Yashiko, thank you for participating in the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. We are really glad to hear that you enjoyed it!
Around late October, the water temperature at Hanauma has started to drop a bit. Recently, we have seen an increase in requests for wetsuits, so we are bringing a few extra suits for rental on the day. However, if you want to ensure you get one, please make a reservation in advance and let us know your height and weight so we can prepare the right size for you.
Wetsuits are highly recommended during the cold winter months! We all look forward to your repeat visit when you come back to Hawaii.
Thank you. Mahalo!!

冬の寒い時期にはウェットスーツはおすすめですよ!!

This was my third time in Hawaii, and I experienced parasailing for the first time. I was recommended by my sister to join her, but I was anxious since I’m not good with roller coasters or heights.
I participated in the standard option at a height of 110 meters. Even so, once we were in the air, the view from such a height was beautiful. Even for someone like me who is not good with heights, it felt stable up there, and I wasn't scared. However, looking straight down at the ocean was frightening, so it might be better to focus on the distant scenery.
The parasailing itself wasn’t scary, but when moving from the boat to the open sea, it rocked quite a bit at a fast speed, causing a lot of ups and downs, which made my stomach feel uneasy. I took motion sickness medication just in case, so I was fine, but it might be a good idea to have some on hand.
There were two crew members who were kind, and when we were coming down from parasailing, they made a splash in the sea twice, which was a nice touch. The trolley driver was also a fun person, and I had a very enjoyable time.
ハワイ3度目で初めてパラセーリングを体験しました。妹に薦められ一緒に参加したのですが、私はジェットコースターや高いところなどが、もともと苦手で不安でした。
高度は110メートルの一番スタンダードなものに参加しました。それでも、空にあがると十分高いところから綺麗な景色が見えました。高いところが苦手な私でも空の上は安定していて、怖さはありませんでした。ただ、真下を見ると海で怖いので、遠くの景色を見ていた方が良いかもしれません。
パラセーリング自体は怖くなかったのですが、船から沖まで移動する時、けっこうなスピードで揺れるため、アップダウンが激しく、胃が浮く感じがあります。私は念のため、酔い止めを飲んでいたので、はかずに済んだのですが、酔い止めはあった方がいいかもしれません。
クルーは2人いましたが、親切でパラセーリングが下りてくる時、海ポチャを2回してくれました。サービス精神があって良い方です。トロリーの運転手の方もおちゃめな方で、とても楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました。

We signed up for this snorkeling cruise as a couple because we heard we could see wild dolphins.
On the bus ride to the boarding location, the tour guide mentioned that they had searched for an hour yesterday before finally spotting dolphins, which made us quite anxious. However, once we got out to sea, we quickly encountered a pod of dolphins, put on our life jackets, and jumped into the water!
Immediately, a large group of dolphins swam right in front of us. We could hear their sounds, and they swirled around us. It was incredible to see wild dolphins, and we realized how lucky our team was.
Onboard, we were served handmade hamburgers while the crew performed a hula dance. Watching the dance while enjoying the burgers was exceptional.
On our way back to the harbor, we also spotted a whale. The spouting was very impressive.
We even got to see the tail fin, which can only be seen when diving deep, making it a truly wonderful experience. I highly recommend participating in this if you go to Hawaii!

This was an awesome experience. I had done the shark cage before, but I never thought that I'd be able to swim with the sharks without cage. I was a bit skeptical about the safety, but once I was in the water, I didn't feel threatened at all. It was just a calm and relaxing experience, and the sharks were not interested in humans at all. The sharks we saw were mostly Sandbar Sharks and Galapagos Sharks, and they only eat fish. They were more attracted to the sound/vibration of the boat engine. So the guide instructed us to stay away from the boat, and we stayed together as a group. We only have a group of 5 with 1 guide and 1 photographer in the water, so the experience was very intimate.
I highly recommend this activity to anyone, and really observe the sharks in their environment. Forget about Shark Weeks, Jaws, etc., and go see them with their own eyes so you can cure people's misconception about these beautiful creatures.

This is just my personal opinion, but it was okay... I had a decent time. However, the park felt smaller than I expected, and I finished everything quite quickly. Many of the slides were also quite short. Carrying the floaties up multiple times was pretty challenging. On the bright side, it wasn't too crowded, so I was able to participate in various activities, which was nice. Please pay attention to the operating hours and closed days when making a reservation.
あくまで個人的な意見ですが、まぁまぁ…って感じですね。それなりには楽しめます。しかし、思ったより園内も狭く一通りサクッと終わってしまいます。スライダー等も短い物が多いです。浮き輪を上まで何回も運ぶのも中々大変でした。しかし、そんなに混んでいる訳では無いので色々と参加出来ますので、そこは良いですね。予約時に営業時間や定休日にご注意下さい。

At first, the price was somewhat high, and I wasn't very enthusiastic about the activity, but I participated due to my girlfriend's strong insistence. After joining, I was convinced... it was a very enjoyable and good activity. There are additional fees for things like wetsuit rental and photo/video data (optional), but I think the basic content is quite satisfying. Since I brought my own underwater camera, I didn't purchase the photos or video data, but while the price seemed a bit high, they were well taken and definitely better than what an amateur could capture. I couldn't take nice pictures at all (cry). If you have children or are in a large group without an underwater camera, I think it's worth purchasing. They will take pictures of everyone, but they prioritize the buyers for the shooting... As for the dolphins, we saw them for a rather short time, but I think everyone wished to see them a bit longer. We also saw sea turtles swimming, which was a rare experience that you don't get to have often. The staff were amazing! They were all very lively, so if you're not good with that, it might be a bit much, but I truly felt it was worth participating. This is all my personal opinion, but if you have even a little interest, I definitely recommend joining (laugh).

On November 2, 2016, I participated with a friend. The weather that day was sunny, although it was a bit windy, the event went ahead as planned.
We had an early start, with the hotel pickup at 5:40 AM, but we managed to wake up. Since we were the last to be picked up, the bus arrived a little late and was almost full. That day, the bus was packed, with about 80% Japanese and 20% foreigners.
From there, the bus drove to the west coast of Oahu. Inside the bus, we signed a simple waiver on the provided iPads and watched a video on snorkeling guidelines. Those who wanted to purchase photos (to be delivered via USB) or rent wetsuits needed to inform the staff at this time.
My friend rented a wetsuit (paying $10 on the spot), while I wore my own short-sleeve rash guard and had rented an underwater camera in Japan beforehand. Other equipment was provided as soon as we arrived at the port. There were various sizes available, so it’s a good idea to choose something that fits well. (Also, don’t forget to take motion sickness medication at this time!)
We boarded the boat, which was also quite crowded. It felt a bit cramped, but considering the focus was on the dolphins, the boat ride felt secondary. Still, the cheerful staff kept the atmosphere lively with dances and performances, making it enjoyable. You can also go up on deck and take a commemorative photo with the captain.
Before long, it was time for the much-anticipated dolphin encounter! We put on our fins and masks and all jumped into the sea together. It’s best to follow the leading staff and look around underwater! I had my camera, so I took a few pictures. There were about 50 dolphins in the pod, but I was only able to spot around 10. I wish I could have seen more!
After about 10-15 minutes, we got back on the boat and headed to the next spot. (Since the time is short, don’t waste it by dawdling!) It seemed like we were trying to chase the dolphins, but due to the current (it was quite windy that day—what a shame!), we had to give up on the dolphins here.
Next, we dove at a spot known for the honu, or sea turtles. I was amazed by the dolphins, but I was especially thrilled to see my first sea turtle (and so close!). My friend was also impressed by the sea turtles! The staff, who understood the turtles' ecology well, shared tips on how to observe them, which made it really enjoyable.
Additionally, there were (simple) stand-up paddleboarding, a water slide, and a trampoline, so I think both kids and adults can have fun with these activities.
The finale included a Hawaiian performance and the captain's special cheeseburger as a farewell!
The staff were very lively, so I felt that some people might not vibe with them. Personally, I had a great time, but my friend seemed a bit less enthusiastic. However, if you view it as part of the cheerful Hawaiian communication, it felt very natural. The staff were all in their twenties, so they were very energetic and good at keeping the mood up.
After arriving at the port, we had some time before the bus arrived, so the staff called out to nearby members and organized an impromptu yoga session! Doing yoga under the warm sun around 11:00 AM felt wonderful. I thought this kind of service spirit was lovely.
Finally, we were dropped off at the hotel, and everything ended smoothly. We arrived around 12:30 PM, so our afternoon schedule went as planned! If I could see more dolphins, I would definitely want to go again!
2016/11/2に、2人で参加してきました。
当日の天気は晴れ。風がやや強かったのですが、予定どおり決行されました。
朝の出発は、ホテルに5:40迎え、とだいぶ早かったのですが、なんとか起床。
迎えの順番が最後だったこともあり、若干時間に遅れて到着したバスは、ほぼ満席状態。
この日は満員で、日本人8割、外国人2割程度でした。
そこからバスはオアフ島西海岸まで、走って行きます。
バスの車内では、配布されるiPadで簡単な誓約書にサインをして、
シュノーケリングの基本ガイドラインのビデオを見ます。
写真購入(USBでの受け渡し)の方、ウェットスーツレンタルの方は、
このタイミングでスタッフの方に申告することになります。
相方はウェットスーツをレンタル(その場で10ドル支払い)。
私は自前のラッシュガード(半袖)で、
水中カメラは事前に日本でレンタルして持ち込みました。
その他の装備は、港に着いてすぐ支給されます。
サイズも結構幅があるので、自分にフィットするものを吟味するのが良いと思います。
(あと、このタイミングで酔い止め薬を飲むのを忘れずに!)
船には、これまた満員キツキツで乗り込みます。
少し手狭な印象でしたが、イルカをメインと考えれば、船上はおまけみたいなものです。
それでも、陽気なスタッフが、ダンスやパフォーマンスで盛り上げてくれるので楽しめます。
デッキに上がって、船長と記念写真を撮ることもできます。
そうこうしていると、待ちに待ったイルカタイム!
フィンやマスクを装着して、皆でぞろぞろと海に飛び込んで行きます。
できるだけ先導のスタッフについて行って、水中をキョロキョロ見まわすのが良いと思います!
私はカメラを持っていたので、数枚パシャり。
50頭ほどの群れだったそうですが、私が確認できたのは、10頭ほどでした。
もう少し、見たかった、、!
10〜15分ほどで、一旦船に上がり、次のポイントへ。
(時間が短いので、モタモタしているともったいないですよ!)
イルカを追いかけようとしていたみたいなのですが、
潮の流れ(当日は風強め。惜しい!)も影響し、イルカはここで断念。
そのあと、ホヌと呼ばれるウミガメのスポットへダイブします。
イルカも感動しましたが、私は初ウミガメ(しかも至近距離!)にことさら感動しました。
相方も、ウミガメ凄かった!と感動していました。
ウミガメの生態をよく理解したスタッフが、観察のコツを教えてくれるので、
しっかりと楽しめました!
その他にも(簡易的な)SUPや水上滑り台、トランポリンなど、
アクティビティーでわちゃわちゃできるので、子どもから大人まで楽しめると思います。
ラストはハワイアンなパフォーマンスと船長特製チーズバーガーで、お別れです!
ノリノリなスタッフたちなので、人によっては合わない方もいるかもな、と感じました。
ちなみに、私はかなり楽しめましたが、相方は少し気乗りしない感じでしたね。
でも、ハワイアンな陽気なコミュニケーションの一環と捉えれば、すごく自然でしたし、
20代のスタッフばかりなので、すごく機動力もあり、盛り上げ上手でもありました。
港に着いてから、バスの到着まで時間があったので、
スタッフが近くにいたメンバーに声を掛け、臨時のヨガタイム!
11:00過ぎの暖かくなった時間帯での太陽の下でのヨガは気持ち良かったです。
こういうサービス精神は素敵だなと思いました。
最後はホテルまで送ってもらって、無事終了。
到着も12:30ぐらいだったので、午後のスケジュールも予定通りスムーズでした!
もっとイルカ見れるなら、ぜひまた行きたいですね!

It was amazing to see these incredible creatures in their natural environment. I almost can't describe the feeling I felt when we were swimming above them.
The crew was amazing, educated, patient, and most of all incredibly organized they were and genuinely cared about the animals safety and well being. We were observers, not there to disrupt these amazing creatures.
This is one of the classiest tours I have been on and believe me I have been on a lot not only in our country but several others. You need to experience this tour!
Mahalo Susan for joining us and taking the time to write this awesome review. We look forward to your return! - Lisa

I could only look at the turtles from above, and the snorkeling was murky... The weather was cloudy, so it was cold. I was really disappointed that I couldn't feel the angelic sea vibe at all... For lunch, we only had simple sandwiches...
亀も上から眺めるだけで、
シュノーケリングも濁ってて…
天気もくもってたので寒かった〜。
天使の海って感じを全く感じれなくて残念です…。
お昼も質素なサンドイッチだけでした…。

We were on our honeymoon and had a really great time. I would give it 4.5 stars but that wasn't an option so they got 5 because it was better than 4. Food was good and entertainment was excellent. Pictures and drinks were pricey but I guess that's expected.
