Honolulu X-Treme Parasailing Tour Adventure [700ft, 850ft, 1000ft or 1200ft Rides]

Extremely awesome!

Reviewed by: Duane K.Renchin

The crew was very personable and really knew what they were doing. The driver was attentive to his duties and paid attention to driving the boat at all times. That was definitely a good thing. The crew member that was hooking us up was joking with us and really seemed to be enjoying himself. Some of our bunch was apprehensive and he really put them at ease. The parasailing experience itself was amazing. Very quiet and tranquil.I would say it ranked in the top two excursions we went on. Very pleased with the experience.

The best! サイコー

Reviewed by: Hawaiiに移住したい

I participated with my daughter. I had read in the experiences that people get seasick, so I took some motion sickness medication and was able to enjoy the trip without feeling sick. (It does sway quite a bit, and there are times when waves splash on you.)

I think there were a lot of people participating. (The boat seats were full.) We were probably the only ones who went to the highest point at 150 meters, but even the foreigners said they should have gone higher. I requested photos (all participants did), and I’m glad I did. I didn’t wear a swimsuit, so I declined the water splash, but I regret that. Next time I participate, I will definitely go for the water splash.

It was really great.

娘と二人で参加しました。体験談で船酔い注意とあったので酔い止めを服用して行ったので酔わずに楽しめました。（かなり揺れるし、波がかかる事もあります。）
私が参加したのは多分大人数でした。（船の座席が満杯）高さ150メートルとこの船で一番高かったのは私たちだけでしたが、外人さんももっと高いのにすれば良かったと言ってたくらいです。写真を頼みましたが（この参加者は全員頼んでました。）私は頼んで良かったです。水着を着ていなかったので水ポチャは断りましたが、後悔しています。次回参加する時は思い切り水ポチャを頼みます。

本当に良かったです。

Excellent day watching whales

Reviewed by: Roy and Trish Brooks

Roy and I really enjoyed ourself, the guys were all great, we have been on a few different whale watch tours thru out the years, and by all means this was the best, we got to experience at least 40 sightings of whales, was simple wonderful. Will tell all our friends that visit Oahu, while we were on the boat we first saw several turtles, had to laugh cuz the guys said to look for trash cans lids, that was the green sea turtles and we saw about five of them, also the snacks they served were great I ate a lot of the fresh fruit and had a beer that they had available on tap. We will be sure to pass the word on of the great time we had and have passed out a few of the extra business cards we had. Great time.

Not a good experience

Reviewed by: Lina

This was not a good experience for me because one of the crew members was rude at the beginning so it kind of ruined my trip. There was no lunch, they had some chips, an assortment of drinks and granola bars. We did not see too much whales but I guess it's not up to the crew, it is whenever whales want to get out of the water which in our case there wasn't that much to see. The boat was nice and I like the nets in the front, it was kind of fun to sit and watch the ocean from there. Drinks were good too. Captain was very good at maneuvering the boat. The boat was clean and acceptable. I think they could work on better manners for the crew and it won't be too bad.

Lack of quick thinking from the local staff. 現地スタッフの機転のなさ

Reviewed by: MAX

I went to Hawaii for a friend's retirement celebration. The couple was on their first overseas trip, and I wanted them to enjoy it. To my surprise, when we spoke to the flight attendants, we received a complimentary bottle of wine as a special service. We arranged for a limousine, and everything went smoothly until the activities began. We initially booked parasailing for three people but changed it to four. However, the local staff insisted, "We only heard three people. Pay up." They didn't even try to confirm the reservation and had a confusing communication system. One of the retirees couldn't fly and had to return. When I sent a complaint email, they responded, "We'll give you breakfast as an apology," but I was not satisfied with that, considering the time and effort spent on the reservation and travel. I would have eaten regardless of the complimentary meal, so I reluctantly accepted it to avoid wasting more time. I wonder if larger companies tend to have such a lack of attention to detail. Since we are on vacation, I wish they would take that into account and be more accommodating.

知人のリタイア記念でハワイに。知人夫婦は初の海外旅行で楽しんでもらいたいと飛行機内でアテンダントに声をかければ記念のワインボトルがプレゼントされる驚きのサービス。リムジンを手配し、アクティビティの出発までは順調でした。パラセイルを当初は３人で予約しましたが、４人に変更しました。ところが現地スタッフは最初の「３人しか聞いていない。金を払え」の一点張り。確認もしようとはせず連絡体制に？？？？。リタイア夫婦の１人は飛べないまま帰還しました。不満のメールを送ると「お詫びに朝食をプレゼントします」と連絡はありましたが、予約した時間と手間暇、移動した時間の手間暇。食事はプレゼントされなくても摂りますので納得いかないまま、無駄な時間を過ごしたくないので承諾しました。会社が大きいと態勢も大味になるのでしょうか。バケーションに来ているのですから、そのことを前提とした受け身が欲しいものです。

Wow... I saw Whales

Reviewed by: Bonnie Michael

On February 6, we went on the late morning whale watching tour. The winds had been 20 - 30 MPH earlier that week and the water had not settled down. In spite of this, Captain Josh and the crew gave us a great time. We were close enough to the humpback whales that I could catch their bodies with my camera. Plus it was fun seeing the whales blow water into the air.

I was impressed by the captain knowing both fluent English and Japanese and being very safety conscience.

The Crew was great. They pointed out whales, got us drinks and gave us great info on the whales. I also appreciated the shuttle picking us up and dropping us off.

All in all, it was a great trip. If I go Back to Hawaii, I will probably book another trip on this boat. I would highly recommend this captain and crew to anyone who wants a great day on the water.

First, let's start with the standard. まずは、標準から

Reviewed by: さとみ

Due to the request of my companions, we tried the standard height! The instructor didn't speak much Japanese, so all the explanations were in English and gestures, but I was able to understand enough to enjoy the experience. The driver who picked us up was also a foreigner and couldn't speak Japanese.

We were encouraged to purchase photos and DVDs, but since we all brought our own cameras, we took turns taking pictures of each other. The boat mentioned that tips were included in the price, but we had a great time and since we didn't buy any photos or DVDs, I gave a $20 tip. If they had informed us about the cost of the photos and DVDs when we signed up, I might have purchased them. I only brought enough money for tips, so I didn't have much cash on hand. I think they mentioned it was around $30.

Our tour started at 9:00 AM (pickup was at 8:15), so we returned to the hotel a little after 10:30. It was enough time to make other plans for parasailing in the afternoon. Next time, I want to challenge myself with the longest one!

同乗者の希望で、標準の高さでトライ！。インストラクターはあまり、日本語が話せず、全て英語とジェスチャーでの説明であったが、それなりにわかるもので、体験できた。
お迎えのドライバーも外人で、日本語離せない。
写真・DVD購入を勧められるが、それぞれ自前のカメラ等を持参していたので、交代しながら、カメラで撮影しあいをした。船には、チップは料金に含まれていると、書いてあるが、十分楽しめたし、写真・DVDの購入もしなかったので、20ドル渡した。
申込時の案内で写真・DVDの代金を知らせていてくれたら購入したかもしれない。チップ程度しか持参していなかったので、持ち金がなかった。確か、30ドルって言っていたような。
9時の回のスタート(迎えは8：15）だったので、ホテルに戻ってきたのは、10時30分過ぎ。十分昼からの別の予定が立つパラセイリングだった。次は、1番長いのに挑戦したい。

Incredible experience!

Reviewed by: Stephen and Kelli

Wow!! We did the afternoon whale watch on February 12, 2015. First, we are so happy we booked this tour instead of one of the large cruise-like ships. Everything was fantastic and exceeded our expectations from the very start. Our crew (Jacob, Julia, David and Dave) were phenomenal! Each was outgoing, friendly and very knowledgeable. They made sure each person was attended to and were in constant contact with each other as well as the passengers. We were so fortunate to have perfect weather/sea conditions and only 7 passengers, including ourselves, for the cruise. Because of its size, the catamaran easily maneuvered to change course when we spotted whales, which was often! Not only did our crew point out sightings, but also explained why whales did certain things, their habits and shared past whale experiences. We even got to see a sea turtle when we were heading back to the marina. We were so happy we booked with this company. The cruise was intimate and fun and the drinks were great, too! If you want a top-notch, personal experience, book here!! Even if we hadn't been so lucky to see so many whales, the sailing experience with these great people would have been well worth it!

Great Experience!

Reviewed by: Jason

We had a great time. The boat was on the smaller side, which was good...we could maneuver and move towards sighted whales more quickly and easier than the large vessels could. there were about 12 total guest on the boat with 4 total crew members, so the tour was very intimate. We enjoyed the friendliness and knowledge of the staff. Light snacks and refreshments were provided, and alcohol was available for $1 or $2 for those who wanted it. There was plenty of room in the covered area of the boat as well as the front deck. We spent the majority out on the deck, as the views from there were remarkable. One woman got seasick and the crew did what they could to help her out. I'd recommend Dramamine beforehand just in case! Regarding the actual whale sightings, we probably saw about 6 whales in the time that we were out there. Most of the time we would see the large fin protruding from the water a few times, and then we'd see the tale come up before the whale made a deep dive into the water. We saw one turtle as well. No spinner dolphins when we were out but I believe that those are a common sighting as well. The whales we saw were anywhere from 50-100 yards away, so we felt like we were pretty close, without being on top of them (they are huge!). Overall, we had a fantastic time. Just being out on the boat was worth the price, and the multiple sightings made it a great trip. Staff does not ask for tips, but we thought it was appropriate to leave one since they were so accommodating. I would certainly recommend to a friend!

Such an awesome experience in my life

Reviewed by: bigtree

Everything was perfect, which was sunny day and the pick-up car to Kewalo Basin arrived on time, actually a little early at the appointment place. It was my first whale watching excursion. I really like to recommend this tour if you are available.

The catamaran that my wife and I got on board, I think, is the perfect size for agile movement for following the humpback whales race and watching them closely and even listening to the mysterious and marvelous whale songs. I think this neat ship is much better than massive cruises to watch fast-moving whales.

Staff who are kind and informative also helped us to have a good memory of the whale watching trip. They are very friendly and kind, especially their informative knowledge will help you better understand the humpback whales traits like why they came to Hawaii and what they do and so forth.

More importantly, I think, the staff really know well about the best spot where we can watch whales. Thanks to the wonderful staff, we really enjoyed and got a lucky chance to watch dozens of whales and their competition race as well as the show of spouting water. Moreover, we could watch tremendous whale breach at the end of our trip, which was carried over the mom whale accompanying its baby. It was really an unbelievable and unforgettable moment in our life. It’s worth your every penny.

We started our activity by getting picked up at our hotel by a friendly shuttle driver. We were with my mother-in-law and her sister. The driver suggested they used hotel restroom before we left, which was very nice, considering they were elderly and the restroom on the boat can be a little tricky to say the least.
When we got to the shipyard we were greeted by the captain and the crew. They were very thorough and professional.
We set off to find whales and the crew was very accommodating and interacted with everyone. They always asked if we needed anything.
We didn't have much luck spotting whales this day. We spotted a few in the distance and finally a mom and baby after looking an extra 30 minutes past our scheduled time.
Not really their fault, but a little disappointing.
I would recommend these folks. They are a good crew.

I was also able to see a whale by chance! ♪ 偶然クジラも見れました♪

Reviewed by: ako

I participated at my husband's request. Everyone else was from Europe or America, but the staff spoke some broken Japanese, and there were Japanese notes for instructions, so it was fine.

We started flying about 10 minutes out on the boat. It felt amazing, and we even saw a whale by chance (we could see its tail). However, my husband got seasick and ended up throwing up a little in the sea. (^_^;)

The boat didn't move much in the open water, and it often stopped riding the waves, so it was quite rocky. Other tours might have similar experiences, but I strongly recommend motion sickness medication for those who are prone to it. (By the way, those who are fine with it shouldn't have any problems. My husband was the only one out of ten participants who got sick.)

The flight time isn't very long, but you can see beautiful scenery and the horizon, and it gives you an indescribable sense of freedom. I couldn't take photos myself, but you can buy the ones taken by the staff with their DSLR camera. They seem to burn a lot of photos and videos directly onto a DVD for you. (I think it was around $30 or $40?)

There were also some strong individuals using waterproof cameras and selfie sticks. There was nothing particularly scary, and I thought that if it was like this, I would be happy to do it again and again.

主人の意向で参加。
私たち以外は全員欧米人だったのですが、スタッフさんは片言の日本語と、注意書きの日本語メモもあったので大丈夫でした。
船で沖に10分位進んだところで飛行スタート。
すごく気持ちよかったし、偶然クジラも見ることができました。（尾ひれも見えました）
ただ、主人が船に酔ってしまい、軽く海に吐いてしまいました。(^_^;)
沖では船はあまり進まず、波に乗って停止することも多いので揺れるんですね。。。
ほかの船に乗って行くツアーも一緒なのでしょうが、日ごろ酔いやすい方は酔い止めを強く勧めます。（ちなみに平気な方はまったく問題がないはずです。酔っていたのは、参加者10人中、うちの主人だけでした）
飛行時間はそんなに長くないですが、きれいな景色と水平線が見えますし、なんとも言えない開放感を感じることができます。
写真は自分では撮れなかったので、スタッフさんの一眼レフで撮ってくれたものを買う事ができます。たくさんの写真と映像をそのままDVDに焼いてくれるようです。（30ドルだか40ドルだかだったかな？）
防水対応のカメラで、自撮り棒を駆使している強者もいましたよ。

First of all he told that we'll try to see whales, turtles, dolphins- and he realized all programm! I red a lot about such trips, so we were ready that we wouldn't see whales too close- so my advise- the better optics u have-the better photos ull have. If u have go-pro take it for sure, cause u can make reAlly cool video under the water with dolphins, which were really close to boat). So really want to advise this trip-u ll never regret about it-we never saw whales and it was really great emotions. One more thing-don't take trip on a big boat-our was really comfortable, only 17 people-so it was easy to take pictures and run from one side of boat to another, trying to make good photo))

I really enjoyed the cruise. They started on time and I didn't have any issues confirming my seat through this website. I was on their list promptly. It lasts roughly two hours and the first 15 minutes generally consists of a safety briefing before everyone gets started. The crew was very informative and they allowed you to fully walk the boat as well as take pictures while you are stirring the boat. The sunset itself was beautiful and we happen to catch a few whales while out there. Overall it was well worth the experience. It's definitely a little pricy however if you are looking for a good cruise, this should definitely be something you consider.

We got a free shuttle bus from Waikiki but arrived in the harbor an hour earlier. I don't know why the driver pick us so early. We just stayed in the harbor and took pictures of us to kill the time. After we had done the tour, we needed to go back to the hotel by ourselves by using the city bus.
Hospitality, food, drink and music were all good! If you are lucky, you can see whales during winter. (We couldn't see them.) Besides that, the sunset was beautiful and hilarious.
We suggest that you had better to bring sweater, jacket or whatever you like to wear in December and January as it is chilly and windy. Overall, we highly recommend you join this tour if you have enough time in Waikiki. If you don't expect too much, then this cruise is for you. The ship was small but it was okay for us to enjoy having dinner and seeing the sunset.

It was windy and chilly because we joined this tour in the end of December. We thought Hawaii is hot even in winter but it wasn't. Early morning and evening was chilly. Jackets or sweaters are must! My dad felt bad as he wore short sleeves and short pants. I saw some people had sea sick. Some of them were lying on the chair and did nothing. One of the staffs take them and told them to breathe a fresh air. I realized staffs were considerate and generous. Besides, food was good. They had six dishes, which were teriyaki chicken, white rice, broccoli with beef, vegetable burritos, macaroni salad, and cookies. Everything was fine.I think teriyaki chicken was the best. Most of the dishes were cooked with vegetables so everybody can enjoy having dinner. However, the dinner would be better if all the food was hot until we started to eat.
Overall, We highly recommend you take long sleeves if you will join the cruise in winter. The sunset was beautiful and was the last time to see in 2014.(We're suppose to join the cruise on 30th but it was cancelled due to a bad weather. So, we did it the following day instead.)

I participated in whale watching, knowing it was the season for it. After being picked up from our hotel in Waikiki, we arrived at Kewalo Basin in about 15 minutes. Since it was morning, there was hardly any wind, and I felt relieved that we could set sail without worrying too much about seasickness. Out of the 15 people on board, half were Japanese, and there were many families with children.

After we set sail, we could see the hotels of Waikiki from the sea, which heightened our excitement, and we were very satisfied to see Diamond Head backlit by the morning glow. Suddenly, a flying fish zipped by in front of us, and the boat erupted with cheers. About 15 minutes after boarding, when we looked in the direction pointed out with “OVER THERE,” we spotted them—whales! According to the explanation, there were two mother and calf pairs that come to warm Hawaii for raising their young during this season before moving on to Alaska or Canada. I readied my camera and captured the scene of them spouting water, and after a few tries, one of them slapped its tail. After that, it dove deep, and nothing happened for over five minutes. They moved away.

As we waited for the next sighting, unexpectedly, we saw a spout from a different direction... After witnessing such scenes more than three times, we returned to port, feeling a bit reluctant to leave the whales. According to the captain, the whale watching season is from December to April. We were lucky to see them multiple times today. The day before, they hadn’t been spotted, and it seems December is still early for them. I truly felt that luck played a part in this experience. By the way, in the afternoon, there was an astonishing downpour. I really felt lucky to have spent such a fortunate time.

ホエールウォッチングの時期であることを知り、参加しました。
　ワイキキのホテルからピックアップ後、約15分でケワロ湾に到着。午前中ということで、風もほとんどなく、酔い止めが少し心配な私たちにも安心して出航できそう。いっしょに乗船した15名のうち、半分が日本人でした。子供連れが多かったです。
　出航後、ワイキキのホテル群を海上から見ることができ、ワクワク感がさらに増し、朝焼けの中、逆光のダイヤモンドヘッドにも大満足。すると、目前にトビウオがぴゅーんと。船内は歓声が沸く。乗船後、約15分後”OVER THERE”指さす方向を見ると、いました。くじら君たち。説明によると親子２頭、この時期は、子育てのため温かいハワイにやってきて、その後アラスカやカナダ方面に移動するという。カメラを構えて、潮吹きのシーンを撮ると何度目かにしっぽをパチンとする。しっぽパチンからは、深く潜ってしまい、５分以上何も起こらない。移動してしまうのだ。
　次はどこから、待っていると全く予期せぬとこから、潮が・・・こんな光景を３度以上見て１時間半後、くじらに名残惜しさをもちながら寄港。
　キャプテンによると１２月から４月がホエールウォッチングのシーズン。今日は何度も見ることができてラッキー。前日は見られなかったとのこと、１２月はまだ早いらしい。運もあるのだなとつくづく感じました。ちなみに午後は、びっくりするくらいのスコール。本当にラッキー、ラッキーの時間を過ごすことができました。
