Everyone except us was a foreigner and spoke English.
The English had quite a native pronunciation, so I had some trouble understanding, but I managed.
Parasailing had a beautiful view and was really nice!
I paid $30 for photos, but they also included a video as a service.
I didn't get as seasick as I expected.
私たち以外はみなさん外国の方で英語でした。
英語がかなりネイティブな発音だったのでなかなか聞き取れなくて困りましたが何とかいけました。
パラセイルはとても景色が良く綺麗で良かったです!
30ドルで写真も撮ってもらいましたがサービスで動画も入れてくれました。
思ったより船酔いはしなかったです。

This was my first time parasailing, and it felt amazing and wasn't scary at all. Actually, I'm not good with heights. A friend who loves Hawaii said it wasn't scary, so I decided to give it a try! In the end, I'm glad I participated. We took a shuttle to the boat dock and boarded with 11 people on one boat. It had been raining since the morning, but it stopped when we went out to sea, so we were lucky. However, there was some wind, so it was a bit bumpy.
I took motion sickness medication, so my daughter and I were fine, but my husband and son weren't feeling great. They said if we had stayed on any longer, it would have been tough. But the whole family agreed it was a great experience. We also bought photos for $30, which made for wonderful memories! The instructors were friendly, and we had a lot of fun.
今回、初パラセーリングでしたが、とても気持ち良かったし、怖くなかったです。実は私、高い所が苦手です。ハワイ好きの友人が、怖くないから!と言うのでチャレンジ!結果、参加して良かったです。送迎トローリーに乗りボート乗り場まで行き、11人で一隻に同乗しました。当日は朝から雨が降っていたのですが、沖へ出た時には止んでいたのでラッキーでしたが、風があったので、結構揺れた方?
酔い止めを飲んで行ったので、私と娘は大丈夫でしたが、主人と息子がイマイチ。。あれ以上長く乗っていたら、キツかったと言ってました。でも家族全員がやって良かったと言ってました。写真も30ドルで購入して、ホントに良い思い出です!インストラクターの方々も感じ良く、楽しかったです。

It was an amazing experience and it was the best way the finish our trip. It was our last night and it was very romantic. The music was great and people were having a great time. I recommend it to everyone who want to experimence a nice cruise and watch breathtaking firework. I already have recommended it to my best friend going in October. The food was great and they offered a good variety. The cocktails were fantastic and there was a good selection of beers and spirits. I only have great comments about that evening. Watching the firework on the water was just magical. The service was very nice and the staff were very thoughtful. I will do this cruise again next year when we come back.

It was the only tour I participated in on Oahu, and it was truly wonderful.
The tour trolley bus arrived a little earlier than the scheduled time at the meeting point. We were taken by a driver who spoke a bit of Japanese and was quite friendly, traveling mainly with other Japanese participants. Most of the staff were locals, and although their Japanese was limited, we were able to communicate.
After checking in, we waited a bit before moving to the boat. On the boat, there were other Japanese participants and a beautiful sister duo from California. We headed out to sea in perfect weather, and one by one, we went parasailing! We soared much higher than I had expected, and it felt amazing.
For an additional $30, the local staff would take photos of us with a DSLR from the boat. Everyone on our boat purchased this option. It seems that tips are also expected, but we only brought exactly $30 in cash, so that's all we could give (sorry!). Everyone else was tipping around $5.
They also captured beautiful scenery and videos, creating wonderful memories. One of the fellow participants, who was on their second trip, was flying with a waterproof camera and took photos from above, so I want to try that next time!
Basically, they drop you into the sea at the end, but if you say "dry please," it seems you can finish without getting wet. I highly recommend that everyone experience this!
オアフ島で唯一参加したツアーだったのですが、本当に気持ち良かったです。
集合場所に予定時間よりすこし早くツアーのトロリーバスが到着していました。
日本語が若干喋れるがたいのいい運転手に連れてかれて、主に日本人の参加者と共に移動。
スタッフさんはほとんどが現地の人でしたが、日本語は片言ですが通じていました。

最高な天気の中、ボートで沖へ移動し、一組ずつパラセイリング!
思っていたよりずっと高く舞い上がって、本当に気持ち良かったです。
追加で30ドル払うと現地スタッフが一眼レフでボートから写真を撮ってくれます。
僕たちのボートはみなさん購入していました。
その他にチップも必要なようですが、私たちは現金を30ドルちょうどしか持っていかなかったので、それだけ払いました(ごめんなさい!!)。皆さん5ドルぐらいのチップを払っていました。

水につからずに終了できるようです。

My wife and I have taken two Hawaiian dinner cruises in the past. This was our first dinner sail. At first we were concerned about the size of the boat compared to the number of people waiting to board, but we quickly realized that there was room for everyone. If you are wanting a choreographed dinner show, this is not the activity for you. This was a fun, relaxing sunset/fireworks sail. The crew was very nice, and walked around to check on the guests to make sure they were doing alright and even gathered up the guests' garbage. This was appropriate for families, couples, and groups. The crew even cast out two fishing lines to see if they could catch anything during the evening and caught a fish on one of the lines. We drove from the North Shore to go on the dinner sail, and it was well worth the drive. Parking was convenient and reasonable. I would recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before check in to get a close parking spot. The only thing I would suggest would be to serve a dessert option without nuts, as some people do not like them or have nut allergies. I would definitely recommend this activity and would do it again on our next Hawaiian vacation!

We vacationed in Hawaii about four years ago, and the dinner cruise we went on then suffered in comparison to this one. The food could have been better, but the overall experience was fantastic. The crew was extremely polite and funny, the food was decent, and the view was amazing. I got beautiful pictures of the island, ocean, sunset, and fireworks. We were even able to spot dolphins a couple of times during the cruise. Unlike the other cruise we have been on, we were able to walk around the boat and did not have to stay inside the cabin the whole time (if you did not want to). We could sit in the fresh air and enjoy the view rather than watching from a window. I highly recommend this dinner cruise.

At first, I was confused because I didn't know where to meet, and I was surprised that the welcoming vehicle was something like a trolley. However, they called out to me properly, so I was able to get on safely.
The captains were great and kept the atmosphere lively, making it enjoyable even when we weren't parasailing.
I hadn't planned on taking photos and only brought a minimal amount of money, so I regretted not bringing more when I saw how many photos they took.
I highly recommend it! It was super fun!

I participated for the first time this time at the request of my companion.
We headed to the sea on a wild trolley driven by an old man with long gray hair... It was a different kind of intensity compared to a sightseeing trolley, and I thought it was an attraction in itself. (laughs)
In the midst of that wild trolley ride, I was casually made to sign a document stating that they wouldn't take responsibility if something happened. (laughs)
After that, we checked in at a booth by the seaside (they spoke Japanese), and waited for the welcoming boat next to the booth. We were the only Japanese participants, and there were people from various Asian countries and a family from Australia, which made me a bit worried. Plus, there wasn't much shade, so I got a little tired.
After waiting for about 10 minutes, the boat arrived. A cheerful person who could speak broken Japanese guided us to the boat, and we took off at full speed into the sea...
I checked reviews beforehand and saw that some people got seasick, so I took motion sickness medication. The small boat sped along, jumping over waves, so I recommend taking medicine if you're prone to motion sickness. After that, even when others were flying, the boat was still quite bumpy.
Before I knew it, I was strapped into the equipment, told to sit here, and had the gear fastened on me, and then we were off into the sky...
There was no time to think about being "scared" as we were launched into the air. (laughs)
Being up in the sky felt strange, and I naturally smiled. We didn't request the photo service ($30), so we tried to take pictures ourselves, but due to the fear, we couldn't manage any selfies... (laughs)
I thought it would have been fun to capture interesting footage if we had brought a GoPro.
However, this strange experience left a huge impression on me even without photos, and in the end, I'm glad I tried flying.
But I might not recommend it for those who are afraid of heights? I was shaking while enjoying it. (laughs) There’s no feeling of floating like on a roller coaster during the ups and downs, so you can rest assured.
Honestly, I felt that there wasn't much difference between 110 meters and 150 meters, so I chose 110 meters and was very satisfied. I don't think higher is necessarily better. Next time, I might consider participating at 50 meters.
For those who are hesitant, I suggest starting at 50 meters...

My husband and I chose to do this activity as part of our honeymoon after friends bought us a voucher for Hawaii activities. Although it was a little choppy going out (your fine if you stay out on the boat in the fresh air) we had the most amazing time!! The food was fantastic, the sunset was beautiful and the fireworks just topped off a perfect evening. We had so much fun meeting people and having a few drinks. Even if it's really hot make sure you take a jumper as it does get a bit chilly out on the ocean as the sun goes down. We would recommend this activity and the makani crew to anyone looking for this kind of activity!!!

We participated as three adults. In Guam, we couldn't join due to strong winds, so I was determined to experience it. I was able to fully enjoy the thrill of 150 meters. Looking at the deep blue sea and sky, I felt like a bird; even though it was a short five minutes, it was pleasant. I also appreciated the captain's friendliness. Everything was in English, and I didn't understand the content at all, but I could see the surrounding foreigners laughing, so I felt they must have been having a fun conversation.
At first, my husband wasn't very enthusiastic, but it seemed he enjoyed it the most. Next time, I want to challenge something even higher.
大人3人で参加しました。グアムでは、風が強いと参加ができなかったので、絶対に経験したいと思っていました。150mのスリルを存分味わうことができました。真っ青な海と空を眺め、鳥になった気分で、5分間という短い時間でいたが、心地よかったです。また、船長さんの気さくさにも好感がもてました。すべて英語で、全く内容がわからなかったのですが、まわりの外国のかたが笑って見えたので、きっと楽しいお話をしているのだろうと感じました。

I was relieved that there was a shuttle from Waikiki, but no matter how long I waited, the trolley just wouldn't come (I waited for nearly 20 minutes)... In a panic, I thought I had to contact them in English, so I asked the hotel concierge to call for me. They said, "We are at the bus stop, but we can't see you, so we left." Apparently, they came to pick me up while I was away from the bus stop.
I was half resigned to the fact that I might not be able to participate, but they kindly sent a car to pick me up and changed me to the next departure. I am truly grateful for their kindness.
My friend has a fear of heights, but I somewhat forcefully made a reservation for this tour. When we went out to sea on the boat, put on the parachute, and took off from the boat, I was quite nervous at that moment. We climbed higher and higher. I couldn't stop trembling as I looked down, but I was surprised to see my friend, who is supposed to be afraid of heights, having so much fun and being so excited. After a while, I calmed down and was moved by the beauty of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sky.
It was very quiet up there without any wind, and it felt like I had become a bird. The blue horizon and sky were amazing! Although it cost a bit extra, I was glad I requested photo shooting. They quickly burned it onto a DVD and recorded videos, so I had a surprise enjoyment when I returned to Japan. They even captured the moment my feet touched the sea perfectly.
It's a pity I couldn't bring a waterproof camera up there. If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate in this company's tour. It was the best time, feeling like I had become a bird.

I chose the highest altitude. I was able to float gently and enjoy a walk in the sky. Even though I'm not a big fan of heights, it felt nice. The boat was small, but perhaps because the time was short, I didn't get seasick. The shuttle service to and from the location was quite fast, which was a bit scary but refreshing. My Japanese was limited, but I was able to convey the important things. The boat mentioned that tips were included, so we didn't pay, but the participants from Europe and America were tipping, which left us a little confused about what to do.
1番高い高度を選びました。ふわっと浮き上がって空中散歩を楽しめました。
高いところはそんなに好きでない私でも気持ち良かったです。
船は小型でしたが時間が短いためか酔いませんでした。
行き帰りの送迎トロリーが速度ぶっ飛ばしだったので少し怖かったですが爽快でした。
日本語は片言程度でしたが大事なことは伝わりました。

I made a reservation based on my husband's only hope of going trolling. There were various options, but I chose this one because it was cheaper compared to others and had good reviews.
After participating, my impression is that knowing some English would have made it even more enjoyable. The crew members didn't speak Japanese, so they explained everything in fast-paced English. Fortunately, there was a considerate foreign participant who helped explain things clearly later on.
We needed to prepare our own drinks and food. I only brought one drink and a cereal bar, so I wished I had brought more.
There were five participants on our boat. First, we got on the boat and used cards to determine the order. When a fish bites, we reel it in according to that order. We set off and headed about an hour out to sea. The boat rocked quite a bit, so taking motion sickness medication is definitely recommended. While heading out, we did some bait fishing and caught two fish that seemed to be around 40 centimeters long. I was second in line, so I caught the second fish.
For the third catch, we hooked a marlin that was about 150 centimeters long. However, that was the end of it. My husband was fourth in line and didn't catch anything.
I don't expect to catch a big fish, but I wish they could ensure that all participants could catch something at least during the bait fishing. Spending nearly a whole day of our precious honeymoon on something uncertain for 28,000 yen... whether it's worth it varies from person to person, but I somehow enjoyed it, so I guess it was okay.
主人のトローリングがしたいとの唯一希望により、予約しました。色々なところがありましたが、こちらを選んだのは、他と比べて値段が安かったことと、口コミの評価がよかったから。
参加してみての感想は、まず英語が多少出来た方が更に楽しめただろうということ。乗組員の方は日本語なんて出来ないから、普通に早口の英語で説明されます。同乗した方の中に気を使ってくれる外国人の方がおられたので、後で分かりやすく説明してくれたので助かりました。
飲み物食べ物は各自で準備が必要でした。飲み物1本とシリアルバーしか持って行ってなかったので、もっと持っていけばよかったなと思いました。
今回私達の船には5人の参加者がいました。まず船にのりトランプを使って順番を決めます。竿に当たりがきたらその順番で釣り上げていくため。
出発してまず船で1時間程度沖に出ます。結構な揺れ加減なので酔い止めを飲んだ方が絶対にいーです。沖に出ながらベイト釣り。40センチぐらいのハマチらしき魚を2匹釣りました。私は順番が2番目だったので2匹目の魚を釣りました。
3匹目に150センチぐらいのカジキが釣れました。でも、それで終了。旦那は4番目だった為、何も釣り上げられず(^^;
大物を釣らせてとは言わないけれど、せめてベイト釣りで参加者全員が釣り上げられるようにしてくれたら、もっといーのになと思いました。
貴重なハネムーンの1日をほぼ使って、釣れるかどうかわからないことに28000円…する価値があるのかどーかは人それぞれだと思いますが、私は何だかんだ楽しめたので、まぁよかったかな(>_<)

I booked this cruise as a surprise for my girlfriend and she absolutely loved it! Every friday the Hilton hotel has a free fireworks show and this is a great way to view them and to make the evening that much more special. I would recommend this activity to couples but it is set up so anyone can enjoy.
Our catamaran cruise started off with their driver coming to pick us up. He was on time and very friendly. We arrived at the dock early and had our first look at the Makani. It was very clean and was smaller than all the other catamarans in the area which was exactly what I was looking for. The boat held roughly 30-40 people. The only complaint we had while waiting to board was nobody came to talk to us about what was going on. Our group stood there for half an hour and as other groups showed up, we then found out we had to redeem our tickets. By this time there was a large line but thankfully they got everyone through quickly. Before we left the dock, the captain went over the features of the boat, introduced the crew and went over everything we needed to know to keep us safe. Once out out on the water, the crew invited us to take part in helping run the ship with their supervision. I thought that was great to make the experience that much more personal. We sailed for an hour then they stopped the boat so we could have our dinner. It was a buffet style with plenty of food to go around. We then found our spot in the water over looking the Hilton. The fireworks started at 7:45 and lasted five minutes. It was a great show and they used quality fireworks that were exciting to watch.

Great idea - poor execution! It was a beautiful night and we were ready for a relaxing and delicious dinner cruise. Perhaps we misunderstood what was being offered. First, our pick up was scheduled for 4:10 pm but didn't arrive until after 4:45 pm. After signing in and another short wait, we were invited to board. Even though we knew this was on a catamaran, we thought there would be tables for each diner. This was not the case. Maximum guests (60 - 80) were crammed onto the vessel. This included some young children. Food was very good for the most part, but dinner was a "serve yourself buffet". Not the best option with children on a moving boat. Also, it was impossible to enjoy the meal with the catamaran moving at a fast pace, wind blowing aggressively, and no good place to sit while eating. We still enjoyed ourselves but the price was a bit high for the event. Perhaps just a sunset cocktail cruise would be better. Some drinks and delicious hors d'oeuvres. P.S. The sunset was magnificent!

Our family of 4 did a Thursday night cruise. The weather absolutely gorgeous, scenery spectacular! The crew were extremely capable and very pleasant. We like what was trying to be done, but possibly too much is trying to be attempted. The food was a little disappointing for what we paid. There was only one table to eat on, otherwise you had to eat on your lap. Fighting the boats movement, the wind and everyone else on board was a challenge.We also felt like portion control was a must as the food supply seemed to be limited. I would suggest maybe not doing a full dinner, but maybe drinks and appetizers, and maybe some live entertainment.Also maybe a little more staffing would be helpful. Overall I would give 2 and a half stars. I liked what was trying to be done, but a little refinement is in order. But hey its paradise, nothing is that bad.

To top things off, there was a rain shower on Diamond Head that resulted in a rainbow, absolutely gorgeous!!! The crew was great and the food was delicious. We were given 2 drink tickets each, my recommendation is to purchase the Makani insulated tumbler, twice the drink for only $8. We opted for the Makani signature High Tide, quite tasty. This was our second adventure on the Makani, both were awesome!!! Highly recommended. A special Thank You to Mikiko at Veltra for keeping me on track!!!

It was my first time parasailing, and it was super fun! We went on a small boat, so my partner got a bit seasick, but once we took off, it seemed like we were flying. While floating in the air, it felt like a dream, a really strange sensation. The local tour guides were all English speakers, but I could understand them through the nuances, which was great. They explained in English at the start that for $30, they would take photos with a DSLR, and for $40, they would shoot a video, so I requested the photos. Since no one else in my group requested them, I was really happy they took a lot of pictures (about 50!). They even included a bonus video of the splash when we hit the water, which I thought was a nice service!
初パラセイリングでしたが超たのしかったです!小型の船でいくので、相方が船酔いしていましたが飛んだらぶっ飛んだみたいです。上空で浮いているあいだは夢の中みたいな不思議な感覚でした。。 現地ツアーガイドさんはみんな英語でしたが、ニュアンスでわかるかんじだったのでよかったです。30ドルで一眼レフでの写真40ドルで動画の撮影を行ってもらえると出発時に英語で説明があったので、写真を頼みました。わたしが参加した回は他に誰も頼んでいなかったせいか、たくさん写真をとってくれてうれしかったです。(50枚くらい) 海面にボシャンするときの動画もオマケで入っていてサービスいいな~とおもいましたw

There is a pickup service from Waikiki that will take you to your hotel or the nearest hotel! However, since other tour buses also stop at the pickup location, I think it would be reassuring to check the appearance of the shuttle bus on the website in advance.
Also, the boat used for parasailing is small and can be quite bumpy. I was fine, but some people in the same group, a parent and child, looked exhausted, so I think it's a good idea for those who are not confident to take motion sickness medication beforehand.
As for the parasailing itself, I chose the height of 150 meters. At first, I was anxious, but once I was flying, I didn't feel scared, probably because the ocean was below me. My wife and I talked about how beautiful the blue sky and the streets of Waikiki were, and we had fun with the crew as they playfully shook the ropes (just a little mischief), and before we knew it, it was over.
The flying time is about 10 minutes, which is short, but since I did it when I was getting bored with sea and mountain activities in Hawaii, I really enjoyed it.
One disappointing moment was when we disembarked after the activity. I was excited from flying in the sky and asked the crew if we could take a photo together, but they responded with a request for a tip, which quickly brought me back down to earth. I couldn't help but think about the cultural difference and why they would ask for that at that moment.
ワイキキから送迎があり、宿泊ホテルか最寄りのホテルまで来てくれます!
但し、送迎場所には他のツアーのバスなども止まっている為、事前にホームページより送迎バスの外見を調べておくと安心だと思います。
また、パラセイリングを行う船は小型で揺れが大きく、私は大丈夫だったのですが、同じグループの方は親子でぐったりしていたので、自信のない方は酔い止めを飲んで置くと良いと思います。
パラセイリング自体は高さ150mを選択し、最初は不安でしたが、飛んでみると下が海のお陰なのか恐怖は感じず、嫁と空の青さやワイキキの街並みが綺麗だねぇと話したり、クルーの人にロープを揺らされて盛り上がったり(⬅︎イタズラ)してるとあっという間に終わってしまいました。
飛んでる時間は10分程度と短いですが、ハワイで海や山のアクティビティに飽きて来た時に行ったので、凄く楽しめました。
残念だったのは、アクティビティ後に下船した際、空を飛んでテンションが上がっており、クルーに一緒に写真撮りましょうと声をかけた所、チップと返答され一気に醒めてしまった事で、文化の違いとはいえこのタイミングで要求するかと思ってしまいました。

We wanted to do something special to end our week in Oahu and after reading some excellent reviews we booked this cruise. We booked it the same day with only about 4 hours before it departed...the phone staff were so helpful and patient as we selected a cruise. We had some challenges accessing the website to print our voucher but the reservation staff was so patient and assured us there would be no problem.
We used the pick up option and the driver was so pleasant and helpful, he made us feel like we had known each other forever.
Every member of the staff we came in contact with from reservation, shuttle driver, cruise staff..everyone made us feel so welcome and didn't hesitate to extend that extra effort!
The cruise was amazing with views of Diamond Head and Oahu..music was enjoyable and the food was delicious! The Cruise was a perfect amount of time as It is still early enough to continue your evening when you return.
We would definitely recommend this cruise and look forward to sailing with them again!
It was the perfect, romantic end to our amazing week in Oahu!

The hotel sent a trolley to pick us up (10 minutes earlier than the scheduled time). Once we boarded, we were instructed to sign a consent form right away. When we arrived at the reception and showed our voucher, we received our tickets.
The only other passengers on the same boat were a pair of girls, a group of three men and one woman, and a mother with a boy who looked to be in elementary school; we were the only Japanese people.
We set off a little way out to sea. It was quite rocky, but since I had taken motion sickness medication 30 minutes prior, I had no issues at all. We jumped two at a time. Without standing up, we shifted slightly in our seats, and when it was our turn, we were fitted with harnesses and life jackets and moved to the back of the boat.
We were cautioned not to stretch our legs while flying. As we gradually ascended, it felt more like being on a swing, so it wasn't very scary. Instead, I was captivated by the deep blue of the sea and the beautiful scenery.
The instructions mentioned that if we wanted the staff to take photos, we should ask, but I missed the timing and didn't get to request it (there was no pressure to buy). I hoped for a dry landing, but I ended up getting quite wet.
Although it was a tour my husband wanted to participate in, I’m glad I took the challenge.
ホテルにはトロリーが迎えに来てくれました。(時間よりも10分早かったです。)
乗車するとすぐに同意書にサインするようにとのことでした。
受付に着いてバウチャーを見せるとチケットをもらいました。
同じ船に乗ったのは2人組の女の子、男3女1のグループ、お母さんと小学生くらいの男の子で、日本人は私たちだけでした。
船に乗って少し沖に出ました。結構揺れましたが、30分前に酔い止めを飲んでいたので、全く問題ありませんでした。
1度に2人ずつ飛びました。立ち上がらずに座ったまま少しずつずれて、私たちの番になるとハーネスとライフジャケットをつけてもらい、船の後方に移動しました。
飛んでいるときは足を伸ばさないようにと注意されました。
少しずつ高くなっていくので、ブランコに乗っているようであまり怖くありませんでした。
それよりも海の青さと景色のよさに目を奪われました。
写真をスタッフに取ってほしい場合は言うようにと説明書に書いてありましたが、タイミングがわからずに頼みそびれてしまいました。(=押し売りはありません。)
ドライランディングを希望しましたが、結構濡れました。
夫の希望で参加したツアーでしたが、チャレンジしてみてよかったです。

My friend and her Mother from Australia joined up with me and we went on this cruise to celebrate her Mother's 80th Birthday. My friend is a vegetarian and she was a little concerned that there would not be anything she liked from the buffet. She was pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious (and hot) and there were sufficient dishes that she could enjoy. Drinks were also good not watered down and surprisingly quite a good variety to choose from. We had two drinks each which were included in the price. The ship was very clean with plenty of room for everyone to move around freely either inside or outside. We left on time and the crew were really nice and also quite funny giving the safety talk. I was very glad we had chosen this particular Sunset Cruise as was very enjoyable and we were pleased with the level of service provided to us. The weather was perfect and the sunset amazing. WE will recommend this cruise to our friends in Australia and in California as it is good value for a very good price.+l y

First of all, a pickup came to the trolley stop near the hotel, making it easy to get around, and they also dropped us back at the hotel. It was my first experience with parasailing, and I felt a bit anxious at first, but once I was up in the air, all my worries disappeared. The view from above was incredibly beautiful, and the wind while being pulled by the boat was amazing. I could see Waikiki, downtown, and Diamond Head all at once, and the feeling of having that stunning view all to myself was truly luxurious! The parasailing lasted about 10 minutes, and there were two handsome guys on the boat who made the atmosphere really fun, which made it a great experience. They also took photos during the parasailing and on the boat, and although it cost $30, I was able to capture those wonderful memories. This experience made me want to try various water activities like parasailing again when I come back to Hawaii! Thank you very much!
まずは、ホテル近くのトローリー乗り場までお迎えが来てくれたので、簡単に移動ができ、帰りもホテルまで送ってくれました。パラセーリングの経験は初めてで、最初は不安な気持ちもありましたが、いざ自分が上空へ行ってみると不安だった気持ちは全くなくなりました。上空からの景色はとても綺麗で船に引っ張られながら感じる風は最高でした。また、景色はワイキキやダウンタウン、ダイヤモンドヘッドまでが一望でき、完全に独り占め状態の景色はすごく豪華なものでした!!約10分くらいのパラセーリングですが、船の上ではイケメン2人が楽しく雰囲気を盛り上げてくれ、とても楽しかったです。また、パラセーリング中や船の上での写真も撮ってくれ、30ドルのお金はかかるものの、楽しい思い出を形に残すこともできました。次にハワイへ来た時にもパラセーリングなどの海でのアクティビティーをいろいろとしたくなるような体験ができました!!ありがとうございました!!

I went parasailing yesterday! It was my second time in two years, and the height was thrilling and fun. The crew was also very lively!
However, they were 20 minutes late picking us up, and we had to wait about 30 minutes after arriving.
So, if you want to book another activity or restaurant next time, I think it's best to allow for some extra time.
昨日パラセーリングしてきました!
2年振り2回目ということで高さもあり楽しかったです。
クルーの方もノリが良かったです!
しかし、迎えに来るのが20分遅かったり、着いてからも30分くらい待ちました。
なので、次に別のアクティビティーやレストランを予約したい場合は、ある程度余裕を持った方がいいと思います。

My husband booked this for me for my birthday. The stuff was very friendly and funny and very nice. The buffet style dinner was very good. The two drink voucher included alcoholic drinks and the Mai Tais were super yummy. They gave you a option of purchasing a large souvenir cup for $8.00 which you may use your drink ticket to refill rather than the small plastic cup. Way better deal.. We sailed around diamond head and then back to Waikiki. The sun set was amazing.There was nothing to complain about at all on this boat . It was definitely worth it and i would do it again on my next trip to the island .This is a must do so my sure it's on your list of things to do list . If you're looking to surprise someone for their birthday or even pop the question this is a perfect way to do it I highly recommend it.

There is a pickup service from Waikiki Beach.
After checking in, you board the boat, listen to the instructor's explanation, and put on your life jacket.
As you rise quickly, the ocean spreads out below you!
If you don't want to get wet, you can return without getting wet.
It was so much fun and went by in no time!
ワイキキビーチから送迎あり。
受付をして船に乗り、インストラクターの説明を聞き、ライフジャケット着用。
