All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I challenged myself to 150 meters. The climb was fun, but it got a little scary after reaching the top. There were four groups of Japanese participants, including us. We had someone waiting below take a video of us. I took motion sickness medicine, but I still felt nauseous.

150mに挑戦しました。上がって行く途中は楽しかったけど、上がりきってからが少し怖かったです。私たち含め、日本人4組での参加でした。下で待機している人に動画を撮ってもらいました。酔い止め飲んだけど気持ち悪くなってしまいました。

I went on my first trip to Hawaii from March 8 to March 12. I had planned to book activities in Japan, but a friend advised me to make reservations after arriving due to weather conditions, so I booked everything on my smartphone the day before.

Two days prior, I had booked parasailing with a different company, and although it was sunny until just before our turn, it started to rain and got cold when it was finally our turn. I was worried about the weather that day, but it turned out to be beautifully clear! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

We stayed at a minor hotel, so the nearby Hyatt Regency was the pickup location. When we boarded, there were already an American man, his two nephews, their two mothers, and a Japanese newlywed couple on the bus. It seemed we were the last to be picked up. After about 30 minutes of driving, we arrived at the boat dock.

It took about 20 minutes for check-in and to go over safety instructions. The company we were with was located on the same premises as the parasailing company I had used two days earlier, but while the parasailing company had restrooms, this one instructed us to use the nearby McDonald's for facilities. I didn't particularly want anything from McDonald's and thought I could hold it, so I boarded the boat without going. Looking back, I definitely should have used the restroom at that point since there are no toilets on the water…

Once on the boat, drinks (water) and snacks were available for unlimited consumption. After about 5 to 10 minutes, we arrived at the spot for the underwater scooters. It seemed that others were only participating in the underwater scooter activity, so we stayed on the boat while we were on a course that included SUP and snorkeling, and we transferred to a smaller boat to head to the sandbar.

Since it was a private tour, a Japanese staff member kindly taught us how to use the SUP, and while the snorkeling didn't have an abundance of beautiful fish, we were able to observe the fish slowly and take photos, which made for a very satisfying experience. I think we spent about an hour at the sandbar.

They provided wetsuits, but only for the upper body, so be careful not to cut your feet on the coral while snorkeling! I ended up getting injured in two places. ε-(´∀｀; )

After that, we moved to the underwater scooter spot. Once we switched back to the boat we had arrived on, there were already about 20 people from the underwater scooter group who had almost finished boarding, and we waited about 10 minutes until it was our turn. While waiting, we were able to see a honu (sea turtle) come up to the surface from the boat. The Japanese staff member had told us earlier that we would definitely see honu, so I was excited, but I never expected it to be so easy to spot them! (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡

Once on the underwater scooter, after equalizing my ears, we followed the staff to a depth of about 2 to 3 meters. My face only got wet when going in and out of the helmet, so it was fine to wear contacts. Even in Hawaii, the water was quite cold when entering. When I shook the chain with the food, a lot of fish came to us.

Then we were taken to the honu spot, where we could see honu swimming on the ocean floor, drive the underwater scooter ourselves, and take photos with friends, which was very satisfying. I think we spent about 20 minutes there.

On the way back to the dock, the staff showed us the photos they had taken, and if we wanted to purchase any, we could do so. We decided not to buy them since they were a bit pricey, but there were some good photos. It seemed they had also filmed a video.

Afterward, since we were cold, it would have been nice to have a shower, but there wasn't one available. So, we were driven back to the Hyatt Regency by our pickup driver, and that concluded the tour. I was very satisfied with the private sandbar and my first experience with the underwater scooter. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate again!

３月８日から３月１２日までのはじめてのハワイ旅行でした。
日本でアクティビティを予約してから参加しようと思っていましたが知り合いから天候の関係で現地についてから予約したほうがいいとのことで前日に現地でスマホから予約しました。
２日前に別な会社でパラセーリングを予約して参加したらパラセーリング直前まで晴れてたのに私たちの番になったら雨が降ってきて寒かったので当日天気が不安でしたが見事にピーカン╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
私達はマイナーホテルに泊まっていたので近くのハイアットリージェンシーがピックアップ場所でした。
乗り込むとアメリカから来たおじさんと
その甥っ子２人、そのお母さん達２人、日本人の新婚さん２人が既に乗っていて私達は最後のピックアップだったようです。
３０分ほど乗車すると船乗り場に着きます。
そこから受付や、注意事項確認で２０分程かかりました。
２日前に参加したパラセーリングの会社と同じ敷地内に今回の会社もありましたがパラセーリングの方はトイレがあったのにこちらの会社はお手洗いは近くのマクドナルドを利用してくださいとの説明でした…
特にマクドナルドで食べたいものもなかったのとお手洗いにも行かなくても大丈夫かなと思いそのまま乗船。
後で思いましたがこのタイミングで必ずお手洗いに行ったほうがいいです。
海上にはもちろんトイレはありません…
船に乗ると飲み物（水）や、スナックがあり食べ放題でした。
５分から１０分程すると水中スクーターが出来るスポットに到着します。
他の方達は水中スクーターのみの参加だったようで
そのまま船に残り私達はSUPや、シュノーケリングもできるコースだったので小型船に乗り換えサンドバーへ移動しました。
貸切だったので日系スタッフの方が丁寧にSUPの乗り方を教えてくれたのと、シュノーケリングも、キレイな魚がうじゃうじゃいたわけでもありませんでしたがゆっくり魚を観察したり、写真を撮ってもらったりのんびりできたので大満足でした。
１時間ほどサンドバーにいたと思います。
ウエットスーツを貸してもらえますが上だけなのでシュノーケリングの際サンゴで足を切らない様に注意！
私は2箇所も怪我しました
ε-(´∀｀; )
その後水中スクーターのスポットへ移動しました。
移動後、先ほど乗ってきた船に乗り換えると既に20人ほど乗っていた水中スクーターのみのコースの方達がほぼ乗り終わっていて１０分ほど待機してると私たちの番になりました。
待機中ホヌが海上に上がってきて船の上から
見ることができました。
先ほどサンドバーの時に日系スタッフの方から100%ホヌを見ることができるよと聞いていたので期待していたのですがまさかこんなに簡単に見れるとは
(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡
水中スクーターへ乗り耳抜きが済むとスタッフの方の誘導で深さ2、3メートルのところまで行きます。
顔は水中スクーターのヘルメットの中に入る時と出る時のみ濡れるのでコンタクトでも大丈夫でした。
水に入る時はハワイといえどすごく寒いです。
水中では餌が入っている鎖を振るとたくさんの魚がよってきてくれました。
その後ホヌスポットへ連れて行ってもらい海底に潜っているホヌをみたり、水中スクーターを自分で運転したり、友達との写真を撮ってもらい大満足でした。
時間的には２０分くらいだと思います。
その後は船着場へ戻る途中でスタッフの方が撮った写真を見せてもらって購入希望の場合は購入という流れでした。
私達は金額が高めだったので買いませんでしたがいい写真が結構ありました。
ムービーも撮ってくれていたようです。
その後は体が冷えてるのでシャワーなどあればいいですがないので迎えにきてくれた方の運転でまたハイアットリージェンシーへ送っていただきツアー終了でした。
サンドバーが貸切だったのと水中スクーターも初体験だったので大満足でした。
またハワイに行く機会があれば参加したいです。

About three years ago, I participated in this tour, and at that time, there were evening departures that felt like a sunset cruise, even if we didn't catch anything. The dock was close to Waikiki, and the captain and staff (his wife?) were efficient, so we didn't have to wait long before setting off. Our group was the only one with Japanese participants. Even though I hardly understood any English, I managed just fine.

We participated as a group of four, and three of us caught a fish called Kawahagi. It seemed like most others didn't catch anything. They provide fishing rods, but it looks like bringing your own is okay; an American boy brought his own rod. My son and I became good rivals, which added to the fun. My 10-year-old son caught three fish and was very pleased when the captain called him the "BEST FISHER." It seemed like his rival caught a bigger fish that wasn't a Kawahagi and was smiling happily.

If the fish were small, they were released. The larger ones were seasoned with flavored salt and grilled for us, but it seemed like those who didn't catch anything were hesitant to eat. Recently, it seems like the number of operating days has decreased, and I hope they don't stop. Although quite some time has passed, I decided to share my experience. This time, if it weren't for COVID-19, I was planning to join this optional tour again, so I feel very disappointed that I have to give up. Next time I go to Hawaii, I will participate again.

３年くらい前に参加したので、そのころは夕方出発があり、釣れなくてもサンセットクルーズみたいでした。船着き場がワイキキに近く、キャプテンやスタッフ（奥さん？）の手際よくて出航まであまり待たずに出発。日本人は私たちのグループだけでした。ほとんど英語がわからなくても何とかなりました。

４人で参加して３人はカワハギがつれました。ほかの方はほとんど釣れてないようでした。
釣り竿は貸してくれますが持ち込みOKのようで、アメリカ人の男の子はMY竿持参でした。息子とは好敵手となりそれもまた楽しめました。
１０歳の息子が３匹釣ってキャプテンから「BEST　FISHER」と言われご満悦でした。息子のライバル君はカワハギではない大きい魚を釣ったようでにこにこしていました。

釣った魚はサイズが小さいとリリース。大きいものはフレーバーソルトで味付けして焼いてくれましたが釣れなかった方たちは遠慮して食べてなかったみたいでした。
最近、催行日が減ったようで、やめないでほしいなと思い、かなり日が経ちましたが体験談を投稿しました。
今回、新型コロナがなければ、またこのオプショナルツアーに参加しようと思っていたのであきらめざる負えず残念な気持ちでいっぱいです。
次回、ハワイに行ったらまた参加します。

I participated in the 120m event. The staff was great, and it was really fun, especially getting splashed in the sea. I took motion sickness medication, so I was fine, but there were quite a few people around me who were feeling pretty seasick, so I recommend taking something to be in top shape to enjoy it fully.

120mで参加しました。スタッフさんのノリもよく、海に落とされたりしてすごく楽しかったです。私は酔い止めを飲んでいたので平気でしたが、周囲にはかなり酔ってる方々もいたので、万全の状態で楽しむためにも飲むことをおすすめします。

This glass bottom kayak tour was an amazing experience. Our guide, JC was friendly, knowledgeable and went out of his way to make our experience a unique one! I would highly recommend taking a tour with these folks- you will not regret it!

I participated in the morning session. They picked me up from my hotel, so I didn't have to worry about transportation. We got on the board for about a 10-minute experience. While waiting for others to finish their turns, those who are prone to motion sickness might want to take some anti-nausea medication to enjoy it without worries. There are moments during the experience when you'll be in the water up to your legs or waist, so it's best to wear a swimsuit. On the way back, my swimsuit was still wet, but they drove us back to the hotel, so everyone returned wrapped in towels they brought.

I think it's a good idea to bring cash since you'll need to tip the staff after the experience. Also, for an additional $30, they will take photos during the experience! I saw some couples who mentioned they were on their honeymoon purchasing them.

朝一の時間帯で参加しました。宿泊先のホテルまで迎えに来てくれたので移動の心配も要らなかったです。ボードに乗り、１組10分ほどの体験でした。他の人たちの体験中もボードに乗って待つため、乗り物酔いしやすい人は酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が心置きなく楽しめると思います。体験中海に脚〜腰まで海に浸かるタイミングがあるので水着を着て行きます。帰りも水着が濡れたままでしたが、またホテルまで送ってくれるので皆さん水着に持参したタオルを巻いたまま帰ってました。
体験後にスタッフの人にチップを払うので現金も持っていくといいと思います。
また現地で30ドル払うと、体験中の写真を撮ってくれます！ハネムーンで来た、と言っていた方々が購入していました。

We challenged ourselves as a family of five! The guide was amazing, and it was a lot of fun! I want to try it again!

家族5人でチャレンジしてみました！
ガイドの方が最高で、盛り上がり楽しかったです！また、チャレンジしたいです！

I made a reservation for 1:00 PM on the day of my arrival in Hawaii. I wanted my family, who are visiting Hawaii for the first time, to get a concrete image of the scale of Waikiki, the location of our hotel, and Diamond Head, so this was a perfect choice to grasp the overall view from the ocean.

Before participating, I read reviews and thought it would be a participatory event with a rap-style BGM playing throughout, which might explain the low number of Japanese participants. However, it was completely different. You can enjoy it at your own pace, so there's no need to worry. The captain did tell jokes in English to the participants at the beginning, but that was just at the start. During the trip, he was very friendly, handling the sales and drinks, and occasionally pointing out, "You can see a turtle over there." I can't even remember if there was any BGM.

In addition to alcohol, there were about five types of soft drinks (canned juices) available for $3 each. I bought the pineapple juice, which was delicious.

As we headed out to sea, we moved against the waves, which caused some up-and-down rocking and heightened the excitement. We went to a position where we could see Diamond Head Lighthouse well, so the distance traveled was relatively long. On the way back to shore, it was almost completely calm, allowing us to enjoy the scenery peacefully.

When disembarking, there was a suggestion to leave a tip in a container if you liked the experience.

Additionally, before boarding, they take a photo of each group with the boat and Diamond Head in the background. At disembarkation, they encourage you to purchase a 2L size photo as a simple album for $20. While purchasing is optional, I think it's better to place your bags and footwear in a spot that won't be in the frame if you're considering buying. We bought it, and it was funny because everyone was holding their sandals up in a "banzai" pose.

Also, the ladder to board the boat is at the front. If you want to get splashed with more water, I recommend the front. On Oahu, you can usually hear Japanese being spoken on various optional tours, but this tour allows you to experience being abroad in a good way, away from Japanese.

ハワイ到着当日の13:00を予約しました。初めてハワイを訪れた家族のためにワイキキの規模感や泊まるホテルの場所、ダイヤモンドヘッドなど具体的にイメージしてもらいたく、沖から全体をつかんでもらうには、これが大当たりでした。
参加する前にこちらのレビューを拝見し、勝手にラップ調のBGMガンガンで終始英語の参加型イベントかな？だから日本人の参加が少ないのかな？など勝手に思っていましたが全然違いました。自分のペースで楽しめるので心配不要です。確かにキャプテンが参加者に英語で、ジョークを話していましたが、最初だけです。途中はセールの操作とドリンク対応、たまに「あの辺にカメが見えるよ」などの案内でとてもフレンドリーでした。BGMもあったかどうか記憶が無いくらいです。
アルコールのほかソフトドリンク（缶ジュース）も1缶$3で5種類くらいありました。最初に聞き取れたパイナップルジュースを購入しましたが、これがまた美味かった。
沖に向かっていくときは波に逆らって進むので上下に揺れ、テンションが上がります。ダイヤモンドヘッド灯台が良く見える位置まで向かったので割と移動距離も長めです。岸に戻る時は、一転ほとんど揺れないので、落ち着いて景色を堪能できます。
下船時に「良かったらそこの入れ物にチップをよろしく」的な話があります。

なお、乗る前に参加グループごとに船とダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに写真を撮ってくれます。下船時に2Lサイズの写真を見開きの簡易アルバムとして$20で購入を勧めてきます。購入は任意ですが、購入を考える方は荷物や履物は写らない場所に置いた方がいいと思います。私どもは購入したのですが、全員サンダルを手に持ってバンザイしているので笑えます。
それから船は乗る時のハシゴがある方が前です。水しぶきを多めに浴びたい方は前がお勧めです。
オアフ島でのオプショナルツアーは、必ずと言っていいほど、どこかしらから日本語が聞こえてきますが、こちらのツアーは良い意味で日本語と離れることができ海外に来たことを実感できます。

This was so fun! We were totally new to snorkeling and a bit intimidated!
Dan, our guide, was patient and kind. He encouraged us and told us we had all day if needed.
After 10 minutes or so, we felt confident and ready. We saw two turtles, a moray eel, a tuna “tornado”,
And more fish than you can imagine. We snorkeled til we were too tired to go on! We are hooked.
Thanks, Dan!

I participated with my mother in her 60s. On the day of the event, it was quite windy. I had experienced parasailing a few times before, and there were moments that felt like the brief lift you get on a roller coaster. I think on a calm day, it would just feel like floating peacefully.

I have a fear of heights, but parasailing doesn’t scare me. It is high up, but strangely, when you see the ocean below, you hardly feel the height, and more than that, the sensation of the sky, sea, and wind is just wonderful.

I tend to get seasick, but both my mother and I were fine. My mother, who was a bit scared, did scream a little when we were swept by the wind, but in the end, she said it was worth it and felt great!

For those who are hesitant and feeling a bit scared, I really encourage you to try it! The feeling of being close to the sky is amazing.

60代の母と参加しました。
当日は風が強く、パラセーリングは何度か経験したことがありましたが、ジェットコースターの一瞬お尻が浮く感じ？のような瞬間が度々ありました。風のない日ならきっとおだやかに浮いているだけだと思います。
私は高所恐怖症ですがパラセーリングは怖くないです。高いところなんでしょうけど、不思議と下が海だとほとんど高さも感じないし、それ以上に空と海と風の気持ち良さが最高です。
船酔いしやすいですが、私も母も大丈夫でした。
怖がっていた母も、風に流された時は多少叫んでましたが、結果はやって良かった！気持ちよかったと言ってました。
ちょっと怖いなと迷ってる方も、ぜひ体験してみて欲しいです！空に近くなる感じが最高です。

This is my second time, and it was still a lot of fun. Although I got a bit seasick due to the weather, it's also a good travel memory. Thank you!

今回2回目ですが、やっぱり楽しかったです。
多少天気の関係もあって船酔いもしたけど、それもいい旅行の思い出ですありがとうございます

It had been a while since I last visited Hawaii, and this time I went on a trip with my son to enjoy some marine sports. We decided to challenge ourselves with surfing first. I was a bit nervous because I heard the instructor would be a foreigner, but he spoke Japanese fluently (laughs). Since we chose a two-person lesson, it was just my son and me. The private lesson was a lot of fun, and the photos arrived quickly. Thank you very much!

久しぶりハワイで初サーフィン
今回は息子と2人旅でマリンスポーツを楽しもうとまず
サーフィンに挑戦しました
初めてサーフィンでインストラクターは外人さんと聞いてたのでドキドキしてましたが日本語ペラペラでした（笑）
2人レッスンを選んだので息子と2人
プライベートレッスンでとても楽しかったです
写真もすぐ届きました
ありがとうございました

We were the only three people on board during our reserved time slot. We enjoyed VIP treatment. The weather was great, and the view from above was amazing.

予約した時間帯は，私達3人だけで出航でした。
VIP 扱いを堪能です。
天気も良く、上空からの眺めは最高でした。

I challenged myself to SUP under Mieko's guidance! It was more difficult than I expected, but thanks to Mieko, I had a great time! I want to come to Kailua again next year.

みえこさんの指導でSUPに挑戦！
予想していたよりも難しかったけれど、
みえこさんのおかげで多いに楽しめました‼️
来年もカイルアに来たいと思います。

Friendly staff, very easy to do, AWESOME time! Getting registered / checking in was very easy, would recommend to anyone. The views were incredible!

When we experienced it, everyone around us was a foreigner. Therefore, I couldn't understand the conversations at all and couldn't communicate much with those around me, but the journey on the boat was very refreshing with good weather. However, it was very bumpy, so motion sickness medication is a must.

As for the parasailing itself, we gradually went up to 150 meters above the ground, and it was very scary as we swayed with every gust of wind. But the view was incredibly beautiful and it was a lot of fun!

私たちが体験した際には、周りは全員外国人の方々でした。そのため会話の内容は全くわからず周りとコミュニケーションはあまり取れませんでしたが、船での道中は天気も良くとても爽快でした。ただ、非常に揺れるので酔い止めは必須です。
パラセイリング自体は、150m上空まで徐々に上がっていき、風が吹くたび揺れて非常に怖かったです。
でも景色がとっても綺麗で楽しかったです！

I was worried about whether we could fly due to the strong winds in the days leading up to it, but the weather was great on the day, and we were able to fly safely. My husband and our 6-year-old daughter participated, and they happily talked about wanting to do it again next time! It seemed that 150 meters was quite high, and 90 meters would have been enough. Thank you!

連日の強風で飛べるか不安でしたが、当日はお天気もよく無事に飛べました。
主人と6歳の娘が参加しましたが、また次回もやりたい！と嬉しそうに話してくれました！
150メートルは高かったみたいで、90メートルでも十分だったようです。
ありがとうございました！

It sways more than I expected, so even if you don't usually get motion sickness, it's best to take some motion sickness medication before getting on to enjoy it fully. The people I rode with and the foreign tourists were all really fun, and it was an absolute blast.

The photos were $30, so we took our own, but we were able to get great pictures with a GoPro or a smartphone (putting it in a waterproof case works well too). If you get friendly with the people you ride with, you might be able to take pictures for each other!

思った以上に揺れるので酔わない人でも酔い止め飲んでから乗った方が100楽しめます。
一緒に乗った人達やツアーの外人さんがノリのいい人達ばかりでめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです。

写真が30$したので自分たちで撮りましたが、GoProやスマホ(濡れないケースに入れると◎)でも十分いい写真が撮れました。一緒に乗った人達と仲良くなるとお互い撮ってもらえるかも！

We participated as a family of three: my spouse, our daughter, and I. This was our third time experiencing parasailing. This time, we challenged ourselves to a height of 150 meters! We were fully prepared with swimsuits, towels, goggles, and waterproof phone cases. We were ready to fall into the water!

Perhaps the crew sensed our excitement, as they drove us around like a roller coaster, up and down, left and right! We were dropped into the water three times and ended up completely soaked.

It was an attraction that exceeded our expectations. We definitely want to experience it again!

夫婦・娘の３人で参加。パラセイリング体験は３回目です。
今回は、150ｍの高さにチャレンジ！水着・タオル・ゴーグル・防水スマホケース　等　準備万端。海面に落ちる気満々！
クルーがそれを感じたのか、上下・左右とジェットコースター的な運転！
海面に３回も落とされ、全身ビショビショ。
予想以上のアトラクションを体験できました。
ぜひ、また体験したいです。

We were picked up at the hotel. We all challenged ourselves to jump from 150m. When I actually saw the jump, my daughter (3rd grade) and I, who are not good with heights, thought, "This is free!" But when we actually jumped, it felt amazing. The instructor was also very kind. The photos were $30, but they took a lot for us! I definitely recommend getting them taken.

The boat sways quite a bit, so if you're even a little sensitive to motion, medication is a must. Two of my colleagues ended up in the sea...

Even if you're not good with heights, I highly recommend it for making memories.

ホテルまで迎えに来てもらえました。みんなで150mに挑戦しました。実際に飛んでいる所を見た時は、高いところが苦手な私と娘は(小3)は、無料〜と思いましたが、実際に飛ぶと凄く気持ち良かったです。インスタラクターの方も優しかったです。写真30＄でしたが、沢山撮ってくれます！是非撮ってもらった方が良いです。
ボートは結構揺れるので、乗り物が少しでも弱い方は薬は必需品です。同僚も2人海に…
高い所が苦手でも、思い出作りには凄くオススメです。

本当に最高の思い出になりました！
SUPレッスンは絶対Miekoさんにお願いした方がいいです！
次来るときはVeltra使わず直接申し込みします！
今度は祖母も連れてきますね〜！

The staff for Hawaiian parasail is a wonderful bunch great experience a fun time for the kids and the adults would use them again if we came back. The photos taken were ausome as well. The crew joked with the kids making them feel comfortable before they ever went up in the air thanks a bunch you guys were great!

A truely unique Hawaiian experience right on Waikiki beach. The team where wonderful and helped us paddle out thru the breaks and land the perfect waves to return to shore. Riding the waves back into shore you get an amazing view of the Waikiki shoreline and Diamond head from a different perspective. We had so much fun and looking forward to doing it again on our next trip.

This time, I signed up my son, a high school baseball player who has enjoyed staying in Hawaii since childhood, hoping he would enjoy some sports that are a bit more Hawaiian.

When we entered the shop, we were welcomed by friendly staff, and the procedures went smoothly even without Japanese.

The lesson was a group session, and it seems he was able to have a great time with everyone gathered there.

As I watched my son paddle out for the first time on the gentle waves, I regretted not participating myself. Among the participants, there were families (fathers and sons) enjoying the lesson together. It was a nice lesson where even the time spent watching was enjoyable, and the staff's support was excellent. My son mentioned that next time, he would prefer a private lesson.

Much Mahalo♪

今回は幼少時よりハワイ滞在を楽しんできた高校球児である息子に
「少しはハワイっぽいスポーツも楽しんで欲しい」と、申し込みました。
ショップに入るとフレンドリーなスタッフさんにお迎えされて日本語が無くても諸手続きはスムーズに完了。

レッスンはグループレッスンでしたが、その場に集う皆さんと
楽しく過ごすことができたようです。

穏やかな波間に初めてパドリングで漕ぎ出す息子を眺めながら
親である私も参加すればよかった、と後悔。
参加者の中にはご家族（父子）でレッスンを楽しんでいる方もいらっしゃいました。
眺めている時間も楽しめる、スタッフの対応もナイスなレッスンでした。
息子は次回、プライベートレッスンがいいな、と申しておりました。

Much Mahalo♪

Dan was our instructor. Awesome!! Cyndi was a first-timer; in fact, can not swim. Dan taught her how to be comfortable in the water, took her hand, guided her around the Bay. She loved it, sparked us on to additional snorkel trips on this vacation. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this excursion for all qualities of snorkelers.

The location for the picking was decided suddenly the day before, and I wasted an hour because I didn't check my email.
The parasailing itself was fun and wonderful!
Checking emails the day before is important! (^▽^)/

ピッキングの場所が急遽前日に決まりメールを見ていなかった為1時間時間を無駄にしました。
パラセーリング自体は楽しく素晴らしかったです！
前日のメール確認！重要です(^▽^)/

This wasn't my first time, but it was my companion's first time, so we opted for a group lesson. It felt a bit like an assembly line. The advice wasn't very targeted. I would have liked to have been kindly taught from the beginning, especially about how to avoid the waves for those who don't know.

自分は初めてじゃないですがお連れが初めてだったのでグループレッスンにしました。
流れ作業的な的感じでした。
的を射たアドバイスではなかった。
波のよけ方など知らない人に始めから親切に教えていただきたかった。

The staff's energy was incredibly high, and I had a great time! It was an experience that felt longer than just 10 minutes. The morning view was amazing! The air felt great too. I am very satisfied! I heard that during the whale watching season, whales were actually below us while we were flying, but I didn't notice them, haha.

When I visit Hawaii again, I definitely plan to go parasailing. It was fine to attach a GoPro to my hand, so I was able to take lots of photos and videos! I think parasailing is something that families, friends, and couples can all enjoy. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

スタッフさんのノリがすごくテンションハイで　楽しめました！！
　10分とは思えない体験時間でした。
朝の景色　最高です☀️
空気も気持ち良いです
とても満足しています！！
クジラが見えるシーズンで実際に飛んでいる時に下にいたそうですが気づかなかったです笑

ハワイに訪れた際には必ずパラセーリングをしようと思いました。手にGoProつけても大丈夫だったので　写真や動画たくさん撮れました！
家族、友達、カップルもみなさんが楽しめれるパラセーリングだと思います。楽しい思い出をありがとうございました

The weather was clear, so the view was amazing. From Diamond Head, you can see Waikiki Beach, and when you look back, there's a vast horizon. The occasional breeze adds to the experience. You can also enjoy the impact of the water when you land. It was fine to attach a chest-mounted action camera over the vest. Handheld action cameras seem to be okay as well. Five groups boarded the yacht, but some people felt a bit seasick due to the rocking of the boat and the swaying in the air, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance.

晴れていたため景色は最高でした。
ダイヤモンドヘッドからワイキキビーチの眺め、後ろを振りかえると一面の水平線、時折吹き付ける風もアトラクションとして楽しめます。着水の衝撃も楽しめます。
着用するベストの上から、胸につけるタイプのアクションカメラの装着も大丈夫でした。
手持ちアクションもOKのようです。
ヨットに5組が乗り込ましたが船の揺れや上空での揺れで少し酔われた方もいたため、事前に酔い止めの服用をオススメします。

I finally fulfilled my wish to fly in the sky.

At Hilton Hawaiian Village, there was a small hut in the beach parking lot that served as the meeting point. There was also a restroom nearby. Close to the meeting hut, there was a food stall where we had lunch. We enjoyed garlic shrimp and coconut shrimp, along with a lot of long fries.

When it was time, we returned to the meeting hut and waited for the previous boat to come back. We boarded the boat (9 people), changed into our swimsuits, and put on life jackets. The boat took us to the parasailing area at an incredible speed. The boat rocked, but no one got seasick.

Since we were a group of seven, we were debating how many people should fly together, but following the captain's instructions, we ended up flying in groups of three and four. For the four-person ride, the person in the middle was set in the front and back.

For the water entry, you could choose to go in just your feet, up to your waist, or fully submerged. They asked before flying, but I didn't understand what they meant at the time. It varies depending on the people waiting. Newlyweds were likely to be fully submerged as per the captain's choice.

When we splashed into the water about three times, each time seawater entered my mouth. It was really salty. After splashing, we immediately ascended again and were dropped back down. Someone with an artificial hip also joined us. When descending, it was a gentle drop, so it wasn't scary.

At first, when we lifted off, the wind pressure almost shifted my contact lenses, which made me nervous, but once we were up high, there was no wind, and the view was incredibly beautiful. It felt like being on a swing while riding. I could lie down and sway as well.

You can fly while wearing sunglasses and holding a camera.

空を飛んでみたい希望がやっと叶いました。

船は揺れますが、だれも船酔いはしなかったです。

7名のグループで行ったので何人で飛ぼうか悩んでいましたが、
キャプテンの指示で、3人組と4人組で飛ぶことになりました。
4人乗りは、真ん中の人が前後にセットされていました。

海ポチャんは、希望でしない、足だけ　胴まで、全身を選べるの
ですが、飛ぶ前に聞いてくるのですが、2番？とかいってたのですが、
その時は意味わからなかったです。
待っている人たちによって変わります。
新婚さんは、キャプテンチョイスですと全身になる可能性が高い
とのことでした。

三回くらいポチャんしたとき、毎回海の水が口の中に入りました。
すごくショッパかったです。
ポチャ後すぐに上昇して、また落とされます。
人工股関節の方も一緒にのりました。
降りるときはふわっと降りるので怖くないです。

最初浮かぶときの風圧でコンタクトがずれそうになって
ひやひやしましたが、上空は無風で景色もすごく綺麗でした。
乗っている感じはブランコみたいな感じです。
寝そべったり揺らすこともできました～。

サングラスしたまま、カメラ持ったまま飛べます。
