The service is only available for foreigners except during the document submission before boarding. After boarding, they seem to have memorized the explanation in Japanese and provide a brief explanation in broken Japanese. You can store your luggage at your feet on the boat. Since you may get splashed with water during the latter part of the parasailing, it's better to leave anything that shouldn't get wet at your feet. They don't insist on tips; they just casually say, "If you had fun, please consider tipping!" We paid a total of $40 for two people, including the $30 photo fee.
The acceleration of the boat at departure was fun, and I didn't feel any motion sickness at all.
The view from above was amazing!! I definitely want to do it again!
乗り込む前の書類提出時以外は外国人の方のみの対応です。
乗船後の説明も日本語の説明は暗記しているらしく、片言の日本語で説明してくれます。
荷物は船の足元に入れれるようになっています。
パラセーリング終盤に海に浸けられるので、頭から水をかぶる人もいるので、濡れては困るものはこの足元に置いて行った方がいいと思います。
チップは必要に要求してくることもなく、『楽しかったらチップお願いしまーす』と声かけしている程度でした。
30ドルの写真代と合わせて二人で40ドル払いました。
出発時の船の加速も楽しいし酔いも全くありませんでした。
空からの眺めは最高!!
また絶対やりたいです!

I participated in the 130m deluxe slide, and before joining, I was worried about whether it would be scary to go up to the height of a 40-story building. However, it was much better than I expected, and I actually felt like I wanted to float even more—it was so enjoyable.
The view of the Hawaiian sea and the streets of Waikiki from above was a sight that I rarely get to see, and it became a wonderful memory. The staff member on the boat took pictures with a digital camera and sold the SD memory card (it was $30 when I went). I paid $50 including a tip.
Since you will be moving on a small boat, I recommend taking proper measures against seasickness before participating.
デラックスライドの130mのものに参加したのですが、参加する前は40階建ての高さまで上がるのって怖いのではないか?という不安がありましたが、思ったよりも全然大丈夫で、むしろもっと浮かんでいたかった、という気持ちになるぐらい気持ちよかったです。
空の上から見るハワイの海やワイキキの街並みなど、なかなか見れない光景も良い思い出になりました。
ボートに同乗しているスタッフのお兄さんがデジカメで写真をとってくれて、SDメモリーカードごと売ってくれます(私の時は$30でした)。私はチップを含めて$50払いました。

When you think of classic transportation in Hawaii, the trolley comes to mind! The local staff at the ticket exchange, including the older gentleman, are sure to make you laugh, and all the trolley drivers are fun people! You'd be missing out if you don't ride it. They even take photos while stopped! It’s not just a means of getting around; you can explore the Waikiki area while listening to the enjoyable stories from the drivers. I will definitely participate again next time!
ハワイの定番乗り物と言えば、トロリーですよね!
現地スタッフ(チケット引き換え所)のおじいちゃん?も笑わせてくれるし、トロリーの運転手も楽しい人ばかり!乗らなきゃ損です。
停車中には写真も取ってくれます♪
移動だけの手段だけではなく、楽しい運転手の話しを聞きながらワイキキ周辺を探索出来ました。

I totally recommend this to anyone with a sense of adventure! The employees at the ticket booth were friendly and helpful. The boat captain and the guy in charge of strapping everyone in were very skilled, knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone was punctual and professional. I went with my husband and father and they were happy to let us ride all together. We were 550 pounds all together and were slightly over the limit but they weren't remotely worried about it. We purchased the 850ft rope and I wish I had gone with the 1000ft. I was worried about the height but it was great! We had things going on later in the day and asked for a "dry landing", they did AWESOME. I wore shorts and a t-shirt but was prepared with extra clothes if I did get wet... (and I really expected to...) but despite the STRONG winds and high waves we were hitting they easily provided us what we asked. Other groups experienced getting their legs dipped to having their whole bodies practically dunked... they'll try to

The luxurious dinner on the large ship was like a show, so I decided to book a different route. It was very good. The captain was a typical American, but he spoke fluent Japanese and kept cracking jokes. We enjoyed the sunset while moving around the deck. We got close to the fireworks on the yacht, and they were spectacular. I highly recommend it to many people.

I participated because it departed from the pier in front of the Hilton and the price was low, but we didn't see any whales, and the one-hour sailing ended in no time.
They mentioned that we could only go as far as Diamond Head (in English), and there was no particular explanation on the way back to the harbor. When I asked for water, it smelled musty...
However, I thought of it as sailing on a yacht and gave up.
I wonder if it's better to go on a larger boat when you really want to see whales? I heard that smaller boats can get closer, so I had quite a bit of expectation, but I thought it might be limited to boats that depart from Ko Olina.
ヒルトン前の埠頭から出発ということと、値段の安さで参加したのですが、クジラは見れないまま、一時間のセイリングはあっという間に終わってしまいました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドの前あたりまでしか行けないようなことを、言ってはいましたが(英語のみ)港に戻る時もとくに説明はなく、水を頼めば、カビ臭いし、、、
でも、ヨットでのセイリングと思って、あきらめました。
やはり、どうしてもクジラが見たい時は、大型船で行く方が良いのかな?
小型の船のほうが、近くまで行けるようなことを聞いたので、結構期待していたのですが、やはり、コオリナからとか出る船に限られるのかな?と思いました。

The weather was nice on the day of the cruise, and it was a fun experience. The contrast between the buildings of Waikiki and the natural beauty of Diamond Head was very beautiful and moving.
However, it was a bit disappointing for my wife, who had been looking forward to the whale watching cruise since before our trip.

I had heard that it was hard to get seasick, but when we went out into the open ocean, it was anything but fireworks. The foreigners around me were also terribly seasick. I'm done with this.
あまり酔いにくいと聞いていたのですが、外洋に出たときには花火どころではありませんでした。周りの外国人もひどく酔っていました。こりごりです。
I apologize for the distress caused. Since you participated five years ago, we are unable to confirm the weather conditions on that day with the operating company, but it can be inferred that the winds were stronger than usual, and even the catamaran boat, which typically doesn't sway much, experienced significant rocking.

I participated in the whale watching tour, but as others have mentioned, it didn't feel like that at all; cruising was the main focus. However, I originally signed up knowing that and thought it would be lucky if I got to see any whales, so I enjoyed it normally. Of course, I didn't see any whales, but I was satisfied...

The goal is not to see whales. It's better to think of it as enjoying the feeling of going out into the open sea, with the chance of seeing dolphins by chance. The campaign offers a deal where two people can go for the price of one, which felt like a good value. There were also two free drinks and some snacks, so it might be worth participating instead of aimlessly wandering around the city.
クジラを見ることが目的ではないです。
偶然イルカが見えただけで、外洋に出る気持ちよさを味わうと考えたほうがいいです。

We participated with six people ranging from my daughter in her 20s, to those in their 30s and 50s, and my mother who is 88 years old.
At the beginning, those who wanted to hear the explanation in Japanese gathered on the deck (which is netted and allows you to see the ocean below), while the explanations inside the ship were in English, so naturally, we chose the deck. Out of the six of us, four were honestly a bit nervous sitting on the net while listening to the explanation. The Japanese explanation was enjoyable and started the time well.
Everyone took motion sickness pills just in case, but I thought being on the deck would definitely be more fun, and if you stay on the deck, you probably won't get seasick.
We caught a glimpse of a whale shortly after the cruise started, but it was hard to see more after that. However, even without seeing whales, the lively staff made it very enjoyable. We saw another whale on the return trip.
Although it wasn't extremely close, we were able to see it spouting water. We also enjoyed the view of the Waikiki hotels from the sea.
It was mentioned that two drinks were included in the ticket price, but since it was a one-hour cruise, most people probably only had one drink! I enjoyed the champagne.
I thought the cruise duration could have been a bit longer. My 88-year-old mother also had a great time, and everyone was very satisfied.
We were lucky to participate at a discounted rate due to a campaign!
一番下は20代の娘から、30代、50代、最高は母88歳までの6人で参加。
はじめに、日本語の説明を聞きたい人はデッキ(ネットになっていて下は海面が見えるところ)で、船内は英語で説明ということでしたので当然デッキで。それも6人のうち4人は正直にネットの上におっかなびっくり座って説明を聞きました。日本語堪能そして楽しい説明で時間がスタート。
一応全員酔い止めも飲んでいましたが、デッキの方が絶対楽しいし、デッキにいれば酔うこともまずないかなと思います。
クジラはクルーズスタートから間もなくちらっと見えてあとはなかなか。でもクジラが見えなくてもノリノリのスタッフでとても楽しんでいました。復路でもう一度クジラが見えました。
ものすごく近い距離ではなかったのですが、潮を吹くところも見ることが出来ました。
海から見えるワイキキのホテル群の景色も楽しめました。
2杯までアルコールはチケット代に入っているということでしたが、1時間のクルーズなのでほとんどの人は1杯かな!?シャンパンを美味しく頂きました。
もう少し長くてもいいかなと思うくらいのクルーズ時間でした。
88歳の母もとても楽しかったと全員大満足です。
今回はキャンペーン中ということでお安く参加出来てラッキー!

I couldn't see it, but it was a good boat trip in a short amount of time, I suppose? Unfortunately, I couldn't see it, but it was nice to relax on the boat while feeling the wind and enjoy the view from offshore rather than from the beach. The cost performance was good since it was two people for the price of one. It might be better to go in with the mindset that if you can see it, you'll be super lucky...

When I rode on a larger ship in the past, although I could see whales, the experience was not very moving because the ship was too big. From that experience, I chose a smaller boat this time. It was nice that there were about 10 participants, mostly older couples, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Since it was a smaller boat, we could get within a few dozen meters of the whales, which was truly moving! It was also reassuring that there was someone on the crew who could speak Japanese.
昔大きめな船に乗った時は、船が多き過ぎて一応クジラは見えたものの、あんまり感動が少なかった。その経験から今回は小さい船を選びました。参加者が10名程度でほとんどが年配のご夫婦でゆったりした雰囲気なのも良かったし、小さい船なのでクジラに数10メートルと近寄れたので感動でした!!クルーに日本語が話せる人が居たのも安心できました。

Thank you for participating in the whale watching cruise. During whale season, whales appear off the coast of Waikiki, and the captain was searching for them, but it seems we were unable to spot any on that day, which is unfortunate.
As you pointed out, the cruise is only one hour long, so we do not venture too far. We also apologize for any discomfort caused by the water we provided. We will ensure better quality control for the beverages served on board.
