During a company trip to Hawaii, I had been there a few times before, but for others, it was their first time. So, we decided to book parasailing, something we could all enjoy together for the first time.
We went quite far out, and the boat was pretty fast, but I didn't feel seasick at all! There was one American family besides us. A really cute little girl (maybe around 5 years old?) looked scared at first as she went up with her dad, but when they came back, she was all smiles!
We rode on a sort of two-person bench and went really high up, which allowed us to see quite far into the mountains—it felt great! When we came down, before returning to the boat, the staff played their usual prank of dipping just our bottoms in the sea, which was quite cold, but it was fun to take pictures of that moment from the boat.
Also, I was thrilled when dolphins swam around us after we went out! That's Hawaii for you! We all happily took pictures together. I think it's a great activity for families, even with small children, and I would recommend it to those who aren't into intense activities!
社員旅行で訪れたハワイ、私は何度か来たことがありましたが、他の人は初めてだったので、何かみんなで楽しめるものを、ということで、初めてこちらのパラセイリングを予約しました。
だいぶ沖に出るのですが、結構船のスピードは速いです。でも酔うようなことはありませんでした☆
私たち以外にはアメリカ人のご家族が1組。すごく可愛い女の子(まだ5歳くらいかな?)も最初は怖そうにパパと上がっていきましたが、帰ってきたときにはニッコニコでした!
二人がけのベンチのようなものに乗って、かなり高くまで上がるので、結構遠くの山が見えて気持ちがよかったです♪
下に降りてきたときは、船に戻る前にスタッフがお決まりのいたずらで、おしりだけ海にちょっとつけられるので、結構冷たいですが、その瞬間を船から写真で撮りあったりして面白かったです。
また、沖に出てからイルカが周りを泳いでくれたのに感動!さすがハワイ!みんなで喜んで写真を撮りました☆
小さい子供さんがいても家族で楽しめるし、激しいアクティビティが苦手な方にもお勧めだと思います♪

The staff quality was absolutely great. We had a great time doing parasailing and it was wonderful that they walked us through every step especially since it was the first time we ever had done it. I recommend first timers to definitely go b/c it is a thrilling adventure.

I was truly moved by how beautiful and emotional the sunset sinking into the vast ocean was, as I felt like I was monopolizing the great outdoors. Perhaps it was because of the relatively small size of the boat, or maybe it was the kindness of the captain, but I was able to enjoy the cruise right next to the helm, experiencing a refreshing feeling as if I were steering the boat myself.
Both the drinks and meals were delicious, and there weren't too many passengers, so everyone was able to enjoy themselves. The captain, who personally provided transportation, was very skilled in Japanese and had a wonderful service spirit; he was truly a fantastic person.
大海原に沈む夕日がこんなにもきれいで感動的なものかと思うほど大自然を独り占めしてきました。余り大きくない船のせいか、それとも船長さんが優しいのか操縦席のすぐ横でのクルーズを楽しむことができ自分で操縦してるような爽快感を堪能できました。
ドリンクも食事もおいしく乗客も余り多くなく皆で楽しめました。
船長さん自らの送迎で日本語もとてもうまくサービス精神旺盛なとってもすてきな人でした

Parasailing was the first tour my boyfriend and I decided to do in Oahu. It was very beautiful from 700 feet up in the air and very peaceful. The staff did a wonderful job and we were very pleased. The only disappointment was the $20.00 bills taped up and down the railing of the boat making sure that you knew to tip $20.00. We also did the Shark Tour and ATV Tour and no where else was tipping mentioned like it was here. The staff didn't insist that you tip but the dollar bills there pretty much insisted it which made it a bit uncomfortable. Overall, parasailing was a great choice and we would definitely do it again on a future trip!

Don't really remember how high I went, but it was great. Only think I was missing was a cold drink while I was up there. The staff were great and even gave us a little dunk as they brought us in for fun. Great time for anyone and what a great view.

Our cruise on the Makani was amazing! The crew was superb and really made us feel like one of the family. Captain Jon was highly skilled, very confident, which made us all feel very safe, which was even more important because we had small children on board. We thank the crew for their service and we will definitely return!

This was my first time ever para-sailing. I went with my boyfriend and signed up for the standard package for 350ft. However, to our suprise, the boat man gave us all 3 couples on the boat the extreme package at no extra cost. It was awesome after all, at first I was hesistant of going so high up in the air because I have a slight fear of heights but, once your up there you dont feel it at all. So that was a great plus. They also offer photography on the boat so dont bother bringing your camera up there unless you have a water proof pack with a zoom lens. The only gripe we had was that we took that offer to have them help us photograph the ride, but his shutter was defective that day and our pictures didn't turn out. We went back to show them what happened and they refunded the cost to us. so overall i'll go again if i ever return to Hawaii

We did the Makani Catamaran breakfast day cruise as a family and it was one of the most relaxing activities we did in Hawaii. The views were beautiful and the crew was extremely accommodating and informative when we had questions. We were there in late December so we were hoping to see whales & turtles but only saw dolphins, but the dolphins were delightful, they were spinner dolphins and they gave us a show and also swam right alongside the catamaran so we were able to see them very close up and get pictures. My kids are 15 & 20 so they also enjoyed it. There was a family with a young child and he seemed to do well, but if you have children that do not like to be somewhat contained for 2 hrs or are prone to getting out of control I would not recommend it for them. This is not a place for toddlers and small children to be running around. I would do this cruise again if we went back and I highly recommend it to others.

I am a repeat visitor to Hawaii. Major travel companies have their own trolleys, but if you come through personal arrangements or other travel companies, the Waikiki Trolley is like a reliable sneaker.
I always use the Waikiki Trolley, and we frequently rely on the Pink Line and Red Line as our main means of transportation.
ハワイのリピーターです。大手旅行会社は専用トロリーがありますが、個人手配や、その他の旅行会社で来た場合は頼りにになるワイキキのスニーカーのようなものです。

In Oahu, your transportation options will be The Bus, taxis, rental cars, or trolleys. Each has its pros and cons, but for a schedule of 4 nights and 6 days or 5 nights and 7 days, the trolley is convenient and affordable. It operates on designated routes: Red Line, Blue Line, Pink Line, and Yellow Line.
Basically, this trolley takes you around the main tourist spots in Oahu, making it perfect for short stays.
It's a mode of transport not found in Japan, and feeling the dry breeze of Waikiki is one of the joys of traveling to Hawaii.
オアフでの足は、ザ・バス、タクシー、レンタカー、トロリーのいづれかになる。おのおの長所・短所があるが、4泊6日や5泊7日のスケジュールで便利でお手軽なのが、このトロリーだ。レッドライン/ブルーライン/ピンクライン/イエローラインと所定のコースを回ってくれる。
基本的にこのトロリーでオアフのメインの観光地を回ってくれるので短期滞在にもってこいである。
日本にはない乗り物で、ワイキキの乾いた風を感じるのもハワイ旅行の楽しみのひとつだ。

It was amazing!!
At first, I was a bit anxious, but once I flew, it felt incredible!
We went from the lowest height of 210 meters, but it was more than enough fun.
Aside from us as a couple, all the other participants were foreigners, and the staff didn't seem to understand Japanese, but that made it fresh and enjoyable in a way. The seasickness mentioned in the reviews didn't affect anyone on our boat. I tend to get motion sickness, so I took medication beforehand, but I felt like I could have been fine without it. The wind was strong, and the boat rocked quite a bit, but the time flew by until all five groups had jumped; I don't think we were on the boat for even an hour.
The photos are just 15 for one negative, so I think that's cheap.
I'm looking forward to developing them! ☆
There was also a little boy and an elderly man on our boat, so I think people of all ages can enjoy it.
Next time, I definitely want to try jumping from a higher height!
最高でした!!
最初は不安でしたが、飛んでみたら最高に気持ちよかった!
一番低い210Mでしたが、十分楽しめました。
私達カップル以外参加者は全員外国人だったし、スタッフの方も日本語は通じない感じでしたが、それが逆に新鮮で楽しかったです。書き込みにあった船酔いも、私達の船に乗った参加者は全員平気でしたよ。私は酔いやすいので薬を飲んで行ったのですが、飲まなくても平気だったんじゃないかなって感じでした。風が強くて船はよく揺れましたが、私達含め5組飛び終わるまでがホントにあっと言う間で、船に乗っている時間は1時間もないんじゃないでしょうか?
写真もネガ一本で15?なので安いと思います。
現像するのが楽しみです☆
私達の船には、小さな男の子も一人参加のおじいさんもいたので、年齢問わず楽しめると思います。
次は是非一番もっと高く飛んでみたいです!

It was my first experience! It was so much fun. You rarely get to have such an experience, right? We were the first to jump from the boat, and there was a rainbow right above us!! I was moved by the feeling of flying in the sky, the beautiful scenery, and being able to see the rainbow! Then, on our way back to the port after everyone finished jumping, we unexpectedly encountered a pod of dolphins! We were able to see wild dolphins up close. A series of lucky events made it the best trip ever.
初めての体験!とってもたのしかったです。こんな体験めったにできないですもんね。私達は乗った船の中で一番に飛んだのですが、ちょうど真上に虹がでていたんです!!空を飛んでいることと、景色がとってもきれいなこと、虹を見れたこと、すべてに感動!そして全員が飛び終わって港に戻る途中、偶然イルカの群れに遭遇!野生のイルカを間近でみることができました。いくつものラッキーが重なって最高の旅になりました。

Since I applied online, I was a bit anxious until the day of the event, but I was able to go parasailing without any issues. I especially appreciated the kind assistance we received even though we changed our schedule just two days before our departure.
The meeting point on the day might be a little hard to find, but there is a police station nearby, so it might be a good idea to ask if you're unsure. A friendly female police officer helped us out. Since it's a place with many tourists, I think they get asked for directions often.
There were others who boarded from the same location as us, and everyone was foreign, so the car was filled with non-Japanese people! I was quite anxious, but when we arrived at the site, I was relieved to see some Japanese people there as well. Additionally, during the parasailing, everyone was Japanese, which made me feel more at ease!
There were six groups on our boat, and everyone applauded when we took off. It created a sense of unity... Falling into the sea at the end was also quite amusing. I was so nervous that I didn't even get seasick... However, for those who are worried, it might be a good idea to take some medication.
Lastly, we paid a $5 tip for the two of us. The photos (negatives) cost $15, but since it's a rare experience, I don't think that's too expensive.
インターネットからの申し込みだったので、当日まで不安でしたが無事パラセイリングをする事ができました。
特に私たちは、出発の2日前に日程を変更したにもかかわらず親切に対応していただき、有難かったです。
当日の集合場所が、少しわかりづらいかもしれませんが、近くに警察署があるので、わからなければ聞いてみるのもいいかもしれません。親切に女性の警察官が教えてくださいました。観光客が多い場所なので、よく聞かれるんだとおもいます。
私たち以外にも同じ場所から乗車された方もいましたが、皆さん外国の方で、車の中も全員外人さん!
不安いっぱいでしたが、いざ現地につくと日本人の方もいらっしゃり安心しました。
また、パラセイリング時には全員が日本人だったので安心でした!
私たちの船には6組いましたが、全員が飛び立つ時に拍手がおこります。団結力ができるような・・
最後に海に落とされるのも面白いですよ。
緊張のあまり船酔いもなく・・
ただ、心配な方はお薬を飲んだ方がいいかもしれません。
最後にチップは二人で5ドル支払いました。
写真(ネガフィルム)は15ドル必要ですが、めったに出来ない経験なので、そこまで高くないとおもいます。

I can't believe I could experience parasailing at such a low price! I chose the cheapest course, but I had plenty of fun. We went out to sea on a boat, and the guys driving the boat and preparing the equipment were very kind and quite playful. As we gradually went higher, I didn't feel scared at all. It felt like floating gently, and the view was amazing!!! I could see the ocean and Diamond Head beautifully. While I was flying, a plane took off right at that moment, and it was thrilling to see the plane in the air. I flew with an American woman, and we chatted and had a great time. It became a wonderful memory.
パラセイリングがこんなに安価で体験できるなんて!
一番安いコースにしましたが、充分に楽しめました。
ボートで沖まで出て、そこから飛ばしてくれるのですが、船を運転するお兄さんも用具を準備してくれるお兄さんもとても親切でとってもお茶目な人たちでした。
徐々に高くなっていくので、全然怖くなかったです。
ふんわり浮いている感じで、景色は最高です!!!海もダイアモンドヘッドもとてもきれいに見えました。

Most of the customers were Caucasian. However, the instructions and requirements were not difficult, and as long as you follow what the person in front of you does, there shouldn't be any language issues. After departing from the harbor, we were out in the waters off Ala Moana Beach in about ten minutes. There, we put on our gear and before we knew it, we were soaring into the sky. It really felt like we were flying, and it was incredibly refreshing. The air was very quiet, and while gently floating for a little over ten minutes, we enjoyed views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, rainbows, and planes flying above. The landing was completely smooth, and I didn't feel any burden at all. The price felt reasonable, so I definitely recommend it. They take photos for a fee, but I usually don't request those. However, since there were four of us, it was $15, and they give you the film on the way back, which is also affordable. I tipped $5 per person. Given this price, I really felt it was worth trying for a memorable travel experience.
お客さんはほとんどが白人系でした。でも注意事項も要領もそんな難しくなく、前の人の通りにやれば語学の点では問題ないです。港を出発して10分程度でアラモアナビーチの沖に出ます。そこで装具をつけてあらよというまに、空に飛び出します。本当に飛び出されるという感じで、とっても爽快。空中はとても静かで、ワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッド、虹や上空を飛び交う飛行機を眺めながら、ふわりふわりと10分少々の心地より空中散歩です。着地も全くスムースで何の負担も感じませんでした。値段的にもお手ごろ感があるので、是非ともお勧めします。写真を有料で撮ってくれるんですが、通常そういうのは頼まないのですが、4人で行って$15、帰りににはフィルムをくれるので、こちらもお手ごろです。チップは一人5ドル払いました。このお値段ならば、旅の記念にチャレンジしてみてよかったと、つくづく思った次第です。

We thoroughly enjoyed our trips aboard the Makani (so good we did it twice)!!
The boat is modern and very roomy. The crew without equal (especially canine "Captain" Pal)! On our first sail, we were treated to a fantastic show by a large school of dolphins. Pal (all 9 pounds of him) dove off the stern to swim with his "buddies". Not expected, but nonetheless unforgetable.
The scenery, crew, and value of this adventure are unmatched anywhere on the island in our opinion. Thanks, John, for the great times. We'll be back soon!

The pickup bus was about 10 minutes late, which made me a bit anxious, but I was prepared for that, so it wasn't a problem. The other participants were all foreigners, which heightened the feeling of being on vacation abroad, and now that I think about it, I’m glad there weren't any Japanese people. We hardly understood any English, but it felt like there was no need to worry. I had heard that the boat would sway, so I took motion sickness medication, and that helped. Indeed, the speed was quite fast, and there was enough bouncing that taking the medication might be a good idea for peace of mind. The view of Hawaii from the sky was truly amazing. Up there, it hardly swayed, so my partner and I could quietly enjoy the scenery. I was able to bring an underwater camera, so I took beautiful photos from above and was very satisfied.
ピックアップのバスが10分くらい遅れたので少しドキドキしましたが、それくらいのことは覚悟の上だったので問題なしでした。
参加者は私たち以外は外国の方たちでしたが、海外に遊びに来たという気分が高まって、今になって思うと日本人がいなくて良かったかなと思います。

ボートが揺れると聞いていたので酔い止めを飲んでいったので大丈夫でした。確かにスピードもかなり出てたしバウンドするくらいの揺れだったので飲んで行ったほうが安心かもしれません。
