I stayed at Hilton Hawaiian Village, and the meeting place in front of the hotel was at the family restaurant (gathering in front of IHOP). The meeting location changes depending on the tour, so having Wi-Fi made it reassuring to gather.
There were people from other countries at the meeting place, and while we were showing our vouchers to each other for reassurance, a very flashy wrapped bus arrived! We thought, "This can't be it..." (we were expecting a regular tour bus or a van), and then the family we had been with waved us over, so we hurried to board!
As everyone has mentioned, there was a super lively guy who had us quickly fill out a waiver, and we arrived at the port in about 10 minutes. There were also people from a fishing tour on the same bus, and the paragliding check-in was at the far end of the port.
After a little while, the previous tour group returned, and we quickly boarded. Once again, two very lively guys used the Japanese they knew to get everyone excited. They were really great!
We set off with five groups: a Japanese family, a Chinese couple, and a couple of impressive English-speaking couples. The boat rocked quite a bit and went fast (motion sickness medication is a must), and once we got out to where we could see Diamond Head, preparations began.
The two lively guys moved quickly and seemed reliable! We were third in line, starting with the two Chinese participants. We also put on the parachute gear...
Even though I signed up, I’m actually really bad with thrill rides, and I was worried if it was stable enough. I thought, "This might not be good!" But then the two Chinese participants took off smoothly, and it was so moving! They were super excited, and we waved at them, creating a sense of unity on the boat.
The second couple was supposed to go next, but due to a lack of wind, it was moved up to our turn! Amidst the chaos, we floated up and quickly reached a decent height, and there was Maui Island! The horizon was incredibly beautiful!
Airplanes flew overhead, and I didn’t feel scared at all as we climbed to 150 meters. Looking down, the ocean was blue! I waved to everyone on the boat and was so glad I did this!!! It was so moving! I wanted to do it again! While sharing the excitement with my friends in the air, we gradually descended and splashed into the sea.
I thought I would be submerged, but it was just enough to wet my waist. I might have been better off bringing a waterproof case for my phone... After that, we floated back up for retrieval.
While the excitement was still fresh, everyone took their turns flying. I had requested the photo data before flying, so I received it afterward. The tour ended.
The photo CD was $30, and you might hesitate, but it was worth it! The photos and videos (they even captured the moment we splashed into the water and the airplane flying overhead) made us so happy when we got back.
I think it’s a good idea to have tips ready for the two guys on the boat and the bus driver. We had prepared tips for the boat but not for the bus driver, and I felt really bad since he helped create this fun experience... On the way back, we took a commemorative photo with everyone who participated in the paragliding. The bus driver took a great picture!
ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジに宿泊したので、ホテル前のファミレス?(IHOP前に集合)集合場所がツアーによって細かく変わるので、Wi-Fiあると安心して集合できます。
集合場所には他の国の方も集まっていて、集まっていた家族とバウチャーを見せ合ってお互い安心しあっているとめちゃ派手なラッピングバスが到着!
これじゃないと思う…と話していると(ワンボックスとか普通のツアーバスが来ると思い込んでた)さっきの家族が手招きしてくれて急いで乗車!
みんなが書いてる通りめちゃノリのいいおじさんに死んでもオッケーの書類をさらっと書かされて10分ぐらいで港に到着
同じバスに釣りのツアーの人やらも乗っていて港の一番奥がパラセーリングの受付でした。
前のツアーの人たちが帰って来て少しして早速乗船
またまためちゃノリのいい2人が知ってる日本語を使って盛り上げてくれる。めちゃいいやつら
日本人の家族と中国系のカップル、英語圏の貫禄すごい夫婦とカップルの5組で出発
なかなかな揺れとスピードで(酔い止め必須)港を出てダイヤモンドヘッドが見渡せる沖まで出ると準備開始
チャラい2人もテキパキ動いて頼れる感じ!

てんやわんやしてるうちに、ふわっと舞い上がり、すぐにまーまーな高さに上がって行きマウイ島が!地平線が!めちゃくちゃ綺麗!
飛行機が真上を飛んで行ったり怖さなんて感じることなく150メートルの高さに登り着き下を見ると青い海!船のみんなに手を振ってほんとやってよかったー!!!
感動ー!もう一回やるー!とか飛びながら友達と感動を分け合いしてると
だんだん高度が下がって海にぽちゃん
頭まで浸けられると思ってたら腰が少し濡れるぐらいのぽちゃんレベル

それからまた浮上して回収
興奮冷めやらぬうちにみんなが飛んで行き

ツアーは終了
写真のCDRは30ドルで迷うかもしれないけど、頼んで正解!写真に動画(ちょうど海にぽちゃんするとこも動画に収めてくれてるし、飛行機が頭上を飛んで行くところもバッチリ入ってて帰ってからまた大喜び)
チップは船の2人に渡す分と送迎バスのおじさんに渡す分あった方がいいと思います。

I participated with a friend. I think this price is quite cheap considering it includes transportation, meals, and one drink. Most participants were from English-speaking countries, with only about 3 to 4 groups of Japanese. The explanations given on the ship after departure (such as the location of life jackets and the description of drink containers) were all in English. The meal was served buffet-style, and I think it's best to expect light snacks. The flavors were very delicious and seemed to appeal to Japanese tastes! It was the perfect time to relax, swaying with the waves while enjoying dinner and watching the sunset.
We cruised near Diamond Head until the fireworks started, but the waves were quite strong, which was a bit scary. (I recommend it for those who enjoy amusement park attractions like the "Viking" ride.) The wind was also quite strong, so it's essential to prepare for the cold. The fireworks can be seen beautifully from the front! After the fireworks ended, we headed back to the port, but I was a bit tired of the strong wind, so I was actually grateful for it (laughs). If I visit Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate again.
友人と参加しました。
送迎、食事、ワンドリンクが付いてこの価格はかなり安いと思います。
参加者はほぼ英語圏の方ばかりで、日本人は3~4組くらいでした。
出発後に行われた船内の説明(救命胴衣の場所や、ドリンクの容器の説明など)はすべて英語です。
食事はビュッフェ形式で、軽食程度だと思って参加した方が良いかと思います。
日本人受けしそうな味付けで、とても美味しかったです!
船内の思い思いの場所で、食事をしながらゆったり波に揺られて、夕日を眺める最高の時間でした。
花火開始まで、ダイアモンドヘッド近くをクルーズしていましたが、波が強すぎて少し怖いくらいでした。
(遊園地の『バイキング』的なアトラクションが好きな方にはオススメ)
風もかなり強いので、絶対に防寒対策は必要です。
花火も正面からとても綺麗に見れます!
花火終了後は、すぐに港に引き返しますが、強風に少しうんざりしていたので、むしろ有り難かったです(笑)
ハワイを訪れたら、また絶対に参加したいと思います。

We decided to try parasailing, and since we were at it, we challenged ourselves to the highest option at 150 meters!
The staff and the other participants were all foreigners, but everyone was incredibly kind, and they provided us with a Japanese instruction manual, which made me feel at ease (*^_^*)
I ended up being the first one to go, and without having mentally prepared myself, I was suddenly up in the air at 150 meters. The wind was quite strong that day, causing a lot of turbulence, and to be honest, I underestimated what 150 meters would feel like—it was pretty scary (laughs). However, the weather was nice, and once I got used to it, I was able to see the beautiful scenery of Hawaii!
Just a heads up, even though I took motion sickness medication, I still felt a bit nauseous up there, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious. I was really happy that the staff kept checking on me after we returned to the boat.
I had a great time taking photos with the other participants and joking around with the staff on the way back to the port. Thank you so much!!*\(^o^)/*
パラセイリングをやってみたいという話になり、せっかくならと一番高い150メートルに挑戦しました!

この日は風がかなり強かったためものすごく揺れ、正直150メートルなめてたなと思うぐらい怖かったですが(笑)、天気が良く、慣れてくるとすごく綺麗なハワイの景色を見ることができました!
ただ、酔い止めを飲んでても上空から酔ってしまったので、酔いやすい方は注意かもしれません。
船に戻ってからスタッフさんがずっと気にかけてくださったので嬉しかったです。

The view is breathtaking! The heights vary depending on the course, which made it a bit confusing, but I saw in other reviews that 150 meters is good, so I went with that. I don't know about the other heights, but I think 150 was the right choice. Lastly, there are photo sales at the end, so it's a good idea to bring a small amount of money.
絶景^0^ コースよって高さが違い迷いましたが他の書き込みにも150メートルがいいと書いてあり150にしました。 他の高さを知りませんが150で正解だったと思います。 最後に写真の販売などあるので少額のお金は持って行くといいですよ。

This tour, which allows you to enjoy both the sunset and fireworks, was highly rated in reviews, so I signed up without hesitation! On the day of the tour, there were some thin clouds... I set sail hoping to see a beautiful sunset. There were few Japanese people on the boat, mostly foreigners, which made me really feel like I was abroad. If you're good at English, I encourage you to join this tour and share a fun time with people from various countries! By the way, I can't speak English, but I was able to interact with a few foreigners, and it was enjoyable.
I was worried about the sunset, and although there were some clouds, the view peeking through was also beautiful! There were people on yachts watching the sunset, and my favorite photo of the sunset was taken through the yacht. As the day gradually turned to night, everyone eagerly awaited the vibrant fireworks that lit up the dark sky, accompanied by cheers from the crowd. It was a short time, but it was definitely worth it! I can't believe I got to see the first fireworks of the year in Hawaii! The staff were kind, and I truly felt that joining this tour was a great decision!
If you're considering participating in the tour, I highly recommend it for a wonderful night out of the ordinary!
サンセットと花火鑑賞が出来ると言う二度美味しいこのツアー、口コミ評価も高かったので迷わず申し込み!
当日は薄っすらと雲が…綺麗なサンセットが見れますようにと思いを馳せながら出航。
船には日本の方は少なく殆どが外国の方ばかりで海外に来たな〜っと実感出来る時間でした。
英語が得意な方はこのツアーに参加して色んな国の方と交流して楽しい時間を分かち合って楽しいひと時を過ごして下さい♪
因みに私は英語は話せませんが何名かの外国の方と交流が出来て楽しかったです。
心配していたサンセットは若干雲がありましたが雲間からこぼれ出す景色もまたよかったです!
周りにはヨットからサンセットを眺めている人達も居てヨット越しに写したサンセットの写真が、私の1番のお気に入りです♪
段々と日が暮れ皆んながまだかと待ちわびていた真っ黒な空に色鮮やかな花火が皆んなの歓声と共に広がった。
短時間だったけど見応えはあった!
今年最初の花火をハワイで見れるとは♡

It was great that I could ride the Purple Line and go all the way to Pearl Harbor. I found out that the one-day unlimited pass actually becomes valid for two days when I received it. Unfortunately, I had already planned to be almost nowhere near Waikiki on the second day, so I wish I had known that before my trip.
パープルラインも乗れて、パールハーバーまで行けたのが良かった。

This time, my husband and I experienced parasailing, something I had wanted to try for a long time. And despite it being our first attempt, we went for the longest option at 150 meters! The weather was clear and sunny! The beautiful sky-blue ocean sparkled in the sunlight! It was truly perfect parasailing weather!
At first, I was nervous because of the height, but the moment I floated gently with the wind, my excitement shot up to the max! We drifted further and higher from the boat. To my right, I could see the endless sparkling ocean, and to my left was the center of Waikiki, with Diamond Head in the distance—what a breathtaking view! I got to see all the wonderful things about Hawaii.
We were in the air for a long time, which was fantastic. Also, since I could hang my phone around my neck, I was able to take many photos from the sky, allowing me to relive the fun of parasailing.
Additionally, while it was just the two of us, there were other participants, including a family of five spanning three generations. I thought they would fly separately, but they had special equipment that allowed all five of them to fly together, which was great for family fun and meant they didn't have to split up even with an odd number.
Thank you for the wonderful memories this time!
今回、私がずっとずっとやってみたかったパラセイリングにこちらで夫婦2人で体験させていただきました。
しかも初挑戦にもかかわらず1番長い150mです(^^)
天気は快晴!
キラキラと反射きた綺麗なスカイブルーの海!
まさにパラセイリング日和!!
最初は高さもあるのでドキドキと緊張していましたが
風によってふわりと浮いた瞬間、一気にテンションがマックスに(^^)♪
ドンドンと船から離れ高く高くのぼりました。
私の視界の中に右側はどこまでも続くキラキラとした綺麗な海、
そして左側にはワイキキの中心部、そしてその先にはダイアモンドヘッドとまさに絶景!!(^^)!!
ハワイのいいところ、全部見れました。
飛んでる時間もすごく長くとってくださっていて
かなり堪能いたしました(^^)
また、首から携帯電話を下げても大丈夫だったので空からの写真もたくさん撮ることができ、見返しながら楽しかったパラセイリングをまた思い出す事も出来ております。
あと、私達は夫婦2人でしたが
他の参加者さん達で親子3世代の5人で参加されてる方達がいらっしゃり、
別々で飛ぶのかと思いきや、特別な器具をつけ、5人一気に飛ぶことができていらっしゃったので
家族みんなで楽しむことができ、奇数でもバラバラにならずにできるのはすごくいいなぁと思いました(^^)
今回は楽しい思い出ありがとうございました。

We experienced this as two women. The staff doesn't speak Japanese, but they provide a Japanese instruction manual, so there are no safety concerns. We were taken up to a height of 150 meters, which is probably something you can't experience in Japan, and we enjoyed it while squealing with excitement. Considering it's equivalent to the 50th floor of a building, it can be intimidating, but we had so much fun up there without any fear. The time spent in the air was also very long, and we were completely satisfied. The wet landing was thrilling and a lot of fun (if you don't want to get wet, just let them know you prefer a dry landing).
Since it was full, I was worried about the long wait time, but in reality, it passed quickly as we took photos and admired the rainbow over Diamond Head, so it wasn't a problem at all (it might have been nice that it was cloudy, so we were comfortable without suffering from the heat). If I had to point out a downside, it would be that the time between the shuttle bus arriving at the boat dock and the boat's departure was quite long. However, this might be unavoidable for scheduling purposes.
女性2人で体験しました。
スタッフは日本語は通じませんが、日本語の説明書を配ってくれるので、安全面での心配はありません。
150mという、おそらく日本では体験できないであろう高さまで上げてもらい、キャーキャー言いながら満喫しました。ビルの50階相当の高さと考えるとびびりますが、上空ではそんな恐怖心もなく楽しめました。滞空時間もとても長く、十分満足できました。wet landingもスリル満点でとても楽しかったです(濡れるのが嫌な場合は、dry landingと声をかけておけば大丈夫なようです)。
満員だったので待ち時間が長くてしんどいかなと心配しましたが、実際は、写真を撮りあったり、虹のかかったダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めたりしているうちにあっという間に過ぎてしまい、全く苦になりませんでした(曇りだったので、暑さに苦しむことなく快適に過ごせたのもよかったのかもしれません)。
強いて言うなら、送迎バスがボート乗り場に着いてからボートの出発までの時間が長いのが難点でしょうか。余裕をもったスケジューリングという意味ではやむを得ないのかもしれませんが。

As I read in the reviews, I changed into my swimsuit, grabbed a towel and a few belongings, and headed to the pickup location. I was loaded onto the trolley and signed a paper with the parasailing instructions.
After checking in at the yacht harbor near Ala Moana, we departed with a mix of Japanese and foreign participants, a total of 12 people in 6 groups. Two young guys operated the boat and prepared for parasailing.
After a short while, we took turns putting on the parasailing belts and life jackets. Once the parachute was fully opened and the belts were connected, we gradually ascended into the sky.
The view from above was incredible. Unlike amusement park attractions, being suspended in the middle of the sea and sky, looking down at the unobstructed view of Waikiki Beach, was truly magnificent!
The 10-minute flight was refreshing, with just a little swaying as the boat turned. This kind of experience is part of Hawaii's charm. I definitely want to participate in other activities again!
書き込みで見たように水着に着替え、タオルとわずかな荷物を持ち、ピックアップ場所に行きました。トロリーに乗せられ、パラセーリングの注意事項を書いた紙に署名しました。
アラモワナ近くのヨットハーバーで受付を済ませ、日本人、外国人混載で6組12人を乗せてボートは、ヨットハーバーを出発。
若いお兄さんが二人でボートの運転とパラセーリングの準備をします。
しばらく進んだところで、二人ずつ順番にパラセーリングのベルトを装着し、救命胴着を着せられます。パラシュートが十分に開きベルトが繋がれ、徐々に上空へとロープが伸びていきます。
上空からの見晴らしは最高です。遊園地のアトラクションとは、違い、海と空の真っ只中に放り出され、何も遮るものの無いワイキキのビーチを見下ろす景観は、とても素晴らしかった!!
ボートが旋回する際に揺れるくらいで10分ほどの空の旅は、爽快そのものです。
こんな経験が出来るのもハワイの魅力です。是非、また、他のアクティビティに参加したいです。

From the description and images, I imagined a course meal to be enjoyed at a table, but when I actually participated, it was a buffet style, with dining taking place somewhere on the ship. The fireworks were not viewed up close, but rather from a distance; however, I think the viewing points were not bad. It was also nice that the deck was open, allowing us to sit wherever we liked.
写真の画像、説明文から、コース料理、テーブルで食べるイメージをしていましたが、
実際に参加してみると、バイキング形式、船のどこかで食べるといったスタイルでした。
花火も間近での鑑賞ではなく、遠くで見る感じでしたが、鑑賞ポイントは悪くないと思います。

It was my first experience. Watching others made me feel anxious and scared, but when I actually experienced it myself, it felt like time stood still while floating, and the view was absolutely wonderful. I was glad to have a panoramic view of Waikiki. I also purchased the CD with the photos, and they took such beautiful pictures, so it became a great memory.
初めての体験でした。
ほかの人がしてるのを見てると不安と怖さが出てきましたが、いざ自分が体験すると浮いてる時間が止まってるみたいな感じでとても素晴らしい眺めでした。
ワイキキを一望できて良かったです。
写真のCDデータも購入し、とても綺麗な写真を撮ってくれていたので、いい思い出になりました。

I had read various things about the pickup, so I went to the pickup location early, feeling a bit anxious. The bus arrived 10 minutes earlier than scheduled, so I spoke in broken English to mention that one of the members hadn't arrived yet, and they agreed to wait.
This was everyone's first experience with parasailing, and we unexpectedly challenged ourselves to 150 meters. I had thoroughly read the experiences beforehand and felt like I could manage it, but when it came time for the actual event, I felt a rush of nerves. After putting on the harness and holding the rope tightly, we were lifted into the air, gradually gaining altitude.
With the blue sea and the pleasant breeze, any fear I had seemed to disappear... It was a fun aerial stroll. I’m not sure how long we were up there, but it was a striking activity that provided a unique experience.
The boat ride was also quite fast and had a lot of up-and-down movement, so if you're prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication beforehand.
The staff also said in Japanese, "If you enjoyed it, please consider tipping," which made it easy to give a tip with confidence.
As for the photos, my family members took plenty, so I didn’t purchase any.
ピックアップのことがいろいろ書いてあったので、不安をかかえながら早めにピックアップ場所に行きました。予定より10分早くバスが来たので、まだメンバーのひとりが来ていないことをカタコトの英語で話し、待ってもらいました。
今回、皆初体験のパラセーリング。そしてまさかの150Mに挑戦。
事前に体験談を熟読し、何とかいけそうということで申し込んだものの、いざ本番になると緊張が走りました。ベルトをつけ、しっかりロープを持って、上空へヒューと次第に高度を上げていきます。
海の青さ、心地よい風にあおられながら、恐怖心も何処へやら・・・
楽しい空中散歩ができました。何分ぐらい上空にいたのかわかりませんが、異空間体験ができたインパクトの強いアクティビィティでした。
移動中のボートもスピード感があり上下動が激しいので、船酔いしやすい人は薬を飲んでいた方がいいかもしれません。
チップもスタッフの方が日本語で「楽しんでいただけたら、チップお願いします。」と言われたので安心して渡せました。
写真は、身内の者が撮りまくったので、購入してません。

I would highly recommend this boat trip. It was fun and the drinks were surprisingly good. Although it rained, we still had a great time. The weather was warm enough to stay outside on the netting and enjoy the full sensation of sailing. The crew were very nice and attentive to everyone. There were no cheesy banter that I have come to associate with Hawaiian tours of any sort. The catamaran was large, so everyone had a lot of room to move around. It was clean and the head (restroom) was well maintained. Even though it stormed that day, the ride was incredibly smooth and no one got sick. The check in booth was at the entry to the harbor and the line went fast and effortlessly. The only caveat I have for others wishing to do this tour is that you have to have a hard copy ticket or be able to bring it up on your phone. Even though we booked online and they had our names, the lady in the booth needed me to pull the confirmation up on my phone . Unfortunately, this caused us to delay the line , which we hate to do.

It was refreshing to soar into the sky while looking at Diamond Head. The VELTRA voucher does not mention tips, but of course, tips are necessary, so don't forget.
ダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながら大空に舞い上がるので爽快でした。
VELTRAのバウチャーにはチップの事は記載がありませんが当然チップは必要なのでお忘れなく。

My wife and I went for our anniversary and loved every minute of it. It's great to get out on the water in the beautiful Hawaiian sunset. The crew was very inviting and polite and friendly. The food was great and the drinks as well. Will be coming back to experience it again on Friday so we can see the fireworks as well!

You can enjoy parasailing for about 5 minutes at 150 meters. The boat accommodates 6 to 8 people. They take turns flying. The crew is cheerful and friendly, so there's no need to worry. They also take photos for a fee of $10 to $20.

We took a boat that was full with about ten people and headed out to sea while crossing the waves. It was quite bumpy! The height may not have been 150 meters. However, I thought that such a pleasant parasailing experience could only be found in Hawaii. The staff was very friendly and full of spirit to serve. The Westerners on board were also enjoying themselves. In the end, everyone was satisfied and gave tips.
10人ほどで満員になるボートで、波を横切りながら沖まで行きます。かなり揺れます(^^;)高さは150mもなかったかもしれません。が、ハワイでないとこのような、気持ちのいいパラセールはできないと思いました。スタッフはとてもフレンドリーで、サービス精神旺盛です。同乗した欧米人も、楽しんでいました。最後は、満足してみなさんチップを渡していました。
