I recommend this for anyone who is not afraid of heights. You can get a great view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea, and once you're up in the air, it's not as scary as you might think! The explanations are in English, but it's not a big problem if you don't understand them. As part of the service, you will fall into the sea once, so wearing a swimsuit and bringing a towel is essential. Also, it might be cold while you're waiting depending on the weather, so having a hoodie or something similar would be good.
高所恐怖症の方以外にはお勧めです。
ワイキキのホテル群やダイヤモンドヘッドが海上から一望できますし、上空に上がってしまえば思ったほど怖くないですよ!説明は英語ですが解らなくてもそれほど問題ありません。
サービスの一環?で一度海に落ちますので水着着用とタオルは必須です。あと待っている間天候によっては寒いかもしれませんのでパーカー等あればいいですね。

I participated in this as a way to create memories with a friend who is leaving Hawaii, and it was a pleasant sailing experience with great weather.
The staff was very accommodating, and the snacks provided were delicious, which made me very satisfied.
Above all, as a woman, what made me happiest was that the restrooms were clean! This is definitely a high point.
I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to relax and fully enjoy Hawaii!

It was a bit windy on the day, but the atmosphere was quite nice, and we enjoyed it for about two hours. However, the food was just a light snack. My parents in their 70s also found it amusing.

The sunset sailing on Friday was fully booked, so I participated in the afternoon sailing instead. We were the only Japanese people there, but the captain spoke Japanese well, so there were no issues at all. While luxury cruise ships are nice, feeling the waves and wind directly on a yacht is the best! I absolutely recommend it!
金曜日のサンセットセーリングが満席だったので、アフタヌーン セーリングに参加しました。
日本人は私たちだけでしたが、キャプテンが日本語が上手で、全然問題ありませんでした。豪華客船もいいけどヨットで波と風を直接に感じれて最高!絶対おすすめ!

This cruise was short of wind and so no sails - on fault of the crew of course but it was disappointing. The crew was very good. The sun set was average. I was impressed with the boat itself. Nonetheless, we had a great time and would recommend it.

We had SUCH a wonderful time aboard this catamaran! The Captain and crew were friendly and efficient, the food was good and plentiful, the drinks were well made, and the view was just stunning! The light dinner (turkey wraps, pasta, and spring rolls with a cookie for desert) was plentiful and good quality, very fresh. The 3 free drink coupons we had were just the right amount, we didn't even need to buy more drinks. The bartender did a good job, the mixed dinks were well made. There is even a plasma TV on board with a video of underwater shots of fish if you prefer to stay below deck! The Vessel is very well kept and clean, quite comfortable, and lots of viewing space! It was a wonderful way to finish out out week in Hawaii~! The fireworks were beautiful, but short, but the view couldn't have been more lovely!

The parasailing was a lot of fun. You go up and you sit in the sky for about eight minutes. The views are amazing, but your time seems a little short. It's very relaxing though, and the staff was definatly having fun with their job. The only thing that was a little surprising was the fact that they advertised literally exactly how much they were expecting to be tipped. At least $20. Other then that it was alot of fun.

I participated on a Friday in February 2008. I love Hawaii and have been there many times, but this was the first time I felt so much like I was in a foreign country. No matter where I went, there were Japanese people, and even when I spoke in English, I was responded to in Japanese in Waikiki... but this tour was different. My husband and I participated, but everyone else was foreign.
All the staff were also foreign, but the captain had lived in Osaka before and spoke Japanese well. The others probably spoke only English, so I think it's good to be able to speak at least a little English. It's really fun to be able to talk with other guests too.
Also, a jacket is absolutely essential! Other foreign guests were fine in sleeveless tops, but my husband, who usually gets hot easily, was freezing.
The sunset and fireworks were beautifully visible, and I was very satisfied.
By the way, the crew was full of handsome guys.
2008年2月の金曜日に参加しました。
ハワイは好きで何度も行っていますが・・こんなに外国を
感じたのは初めてでした。
どこへ行っても日本人がいて、英語で話しても日本語で
返されるワイキキ・・でもこのツアーは違いました。
夫婦で参加したのですが、他の方はすべて外国人でした。
スタッフも全て外国人でしたが、キャプテンが以前に
大阪に住んでいたそうで、日本語が上手でした。
それ以外の方は恐らく英語オンリーなので、
やはり多少でも英語が話せるといいと思います。
他のお客さんとも話せると、とっても楽しいですよ。
それから上着は絶対必須!です。
他の外国人の方々は平気でノースリーブでいましたが、
普段暑がりの旦那も凍えてました。
サンセットも花火もキレイに見えて大満足。
余談ですが、クルーはイケメン揃いです。

We participated as a couple. We were the only Japanese people there. In Hawaii, where there are mostly Japanese, I felt a sense of "foreignness." The female bartender was also sexy, and the food was decent and good. Above all, I felt like I was on my own cruiser, which was the best part. I've been to Hawaii over 30 times, and each time I always experience "Hawaii for the first time."

This was an awesome activity!!! I went with my seven year old daughter and we both had a fabulous time. The sunset was AMAZING!! The crew and the captain were funny, polite, and extremely accomedating to the all guests on board. Before leaving the dock they went over safety tips, what food was being provide and where to find it, as well, the itenerary for the evenings trip. The fireworks from the Hilton were great! It was a nice way to wrap up the trip. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys the open water and beautiful scenery.

We attended this activity on April 4th 2008, We were in Hawii untill April 8th 2008 and overall this was the best experience we had on Oahu. From the very start of this Sail ,the Captain and Crew where terrific very helpfull and just a complete joy to be around. As a Couple it is very hard to get pictures of the two people together, Not on this adventure we actually had the bartender offer to take our pictures together for us. The meal was delicious, Weather was perfect. When we come back to Hawii I will definantly be looking up this company and doing this again We could not have anticipated just how much fun we would have on this sail. If there was one thing I had to tell you to do in Oahu it would be to go on this Sunset Sail. Thank you so much for the Truly enjoyable and relaxing adventure we look forward to seeing you in the Future.

The crew members are some of the nicest people, they offer great friendly service to the passengers. They really do their best to please their customers. They offer some really good and original cocktails. Combined with the rocking motion of the catamaran, it is very much like riding a roller coaster! You will also get to see the beautiful sunset as well as the scenic landscapes that Hawai'i has to offer such as Diamondhead and city lights. The downside is that there are quite a bit of people so there is no privacy so i recommend this activity to families and friends. If you go at night time, don't forget to bring your jackets! Overall, its worth the price for something fun and relaxing!

I took my boyfriend to the afternoon whale watching sail with Makani Kai catamaran, and he had a fantastic time. The boat is beautiful, and the staff was so friendly and helpful. Even though we saw about two whales, we didn't mind that. It is a little rocky when you get out there, so for those who get boat sick easily, highly recommend to take them boat sickness bills prior to boarding the boat. Overall, this is such a fantastic ride, friendly crew, beautiful boat, and very relaxing! I will go again, probably take some friends this time!

We enjoyed the parasailing part of the activity and the transport bus was timely and clean, but the overally experience was tainted by the heavy handed demand for $20.00 tips. Like having dinner at a nice restaurant where the waiter recommends/demand to know the amount of your intended tip before he/she recommending the catch of the day.
the blatant tip demand unfortunately tainted an othewise nice activity. We did tip and would have without the demand for tip, but the demand made me feel unwelcome. wouldnt come back only because of that.
other than that it was as advertised and enjoyable. maybe you dont care or want repeat business. mike.

Beautiful catamaran sunset cruise. We had whale sightings and a very nice sunset on sea. On Friday cruises you will be also to see the the fireworks, they start 8PM and we saw these just before returing to port. The food is not spectacular and could be improved a little in amount and variety. Mixed drinks are complimentary two per person and have more than enough alcohol content, stay with the beer, if you tend to get seasick!
Overall very enjoyable trip on a gorgeous boat!!!

It was quite the fun experience. From the Captain, to the first mate, to the bartender, they were all quite entertaining and they managed to make a relaxing time very much quite enjoyable. I went with my wife and we managed to get some beautiful pictures taken of this experience. The sun sets as you are sailing along the beautiful view of Waikiki and Diamond head.
I highly recommend this event for anyone who likes to just get away from it all for an evening. To top it all off, it also comes with a meal and two drinks so you have your evening off to a great start!

You can challenge yourself at various heights, but since I was there, I signed up for the highest one. I did a similar activity in Saipan before, but this one goes really high up!
I briefly thought about what would happen if I fell...
But honestly, the view was amazing, and I was able to enjoy a leisurely stroll in the air.

Parasailing with X-treme Parasailing was a wonderful activity. I thought it would be scary, but in actuality it was a very relaxing experience that I'll never forget. If you listen to the instructions the crew give you, your ride up and back down will be smooth and comfortable. Once in the air, you will experience a wonderful peace as you float high above the water.
I would highly recommend this activity to a wide range of people. We had a 3rd grader and a 62 year old on our boat, and each of them LOVED their parasailing experience. The crew was fun and put every one who was a little nervous at ease with their years of experience and humorous comments. Tipping was optional, and in no way did the crew make me feel like I HAD to tip. I was, however, happy to tip them for the great job they did!

I tried parasailing for the first time, and it was amazing, like flying in the sky! My sister and I participated together, and it felt like we were in our own world; the scenery was fantastic and wonderful. There was a service where you could take 24 photos for $15, and it seems like they capture pictures during the parasailing. I took motion sickness medicine beforehand, but I got seasick while waiting for others to finish parasailing, so the medicine is a must! I would love to try it again!
初めてパラセイルに挑戦しましたが、空を飛んでいるようで感動でした!!
妹と二人で参加しましたが、二人だけの世界のようで景色も最高で素晴らしかったです。

酔い止めを飲んで行きましたが、他の人のパラセイルを船で待っている間酔ってしまったので、酔い止めは必須です!!

I requested a pick-up, and I was surprised when I got into the car! Everyone except us was a foreigner. English was flying around in the car, and it seemed like everyone was having a great time.

I wonder if only Japanese people pay tips?? I wasn't really sure about that...

We paid for the Deluxe package which is $20 more than the Standard package in order to go up to a higher height, and for 5 minutes more of flying (than the standard's 8 min). Well when we went out no matter what package you purchased, you only got 5 minutes in the air. TOTAL RIP OFF!! AND to top it off, by the end of the trip the 2 workers ASKED FOR $20 tips from everyone!! The actual flying was fun, but they should give you what you pay for.

This was the first activity we had planned on Oahu. The actual Parasailing time was wonderful!!! The time spent on the boat with the workers was horrible. To start they wanted us to pay them $15 to take pictures of us (even though the other people in our group were going to do it). When we declined their offer the crew made rude comments almost constantly during the boat ride. (Is he always this cheap? Must be they are saving their money for a sunny day!!! Not good Aloha.) The boat has writing all over it that, "Good karma starts with good tips" and "Tipping is WELCOME." There are $20bills taped all up the handrail as a "suggestion" on how much to tip. Don't forget the 3 times that the crew mentioned that we should not forget to tip them for their hard work! The time spent on the boat was very uncomfortable but parasailing was awesome. In the end I did tip them (only because I felt so uncomfortable) and I am still regretting it.
