I participated in parasailing at 90 meters with my daughter and husband. I was a bit scared and hesitated until the end, but my daughter strongly wanted to do it, and since it was our special trip to Hawaii, I decided to join.
As soon as we set sail on the boat, we put on life jackets and equipment, and before I knew it, we were up in the air since we were the first ones to go. It was exhilarating, and the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was amazing.
At the end, we had the usual splashdown. We barely skimmed the surface of the water, but the technique of calculating the wind and boat speed to get just a little wet was impressive, just as I had heard about their years of accident-free operation.
By the way, I kept my contact lenses in, and it was no problem at all. Also, our driver Yano was incredibly funny. We had a great time with his jokes (in English) on the shuttle bus. Thank you, Yano, for the fun memories! If you get Yano as your driver, consider yourself lucky.
Next time, I definitely want to challenge the 150 meters. I would love to use this tour again then.
娘と夫婦3人でパラセイリングの90mに参加しました。少し怖かったので最後まで迷っていましたが娘の強い希望とせっかくのハワイ旅行なので参加しました。
ボートで出航するとすぐにライフジャケットと器具を装着し、いきなりトップバッターだったので、ドキドキする間もなく気が付いたら海の上でした。
爽やかな風の中、ワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッドを海上から見るのは最高でした。
最後はお決まりの尻ポチャ。
海面スレスレで水しぶきを上げる程度ですが、風やボートの速度とかを計算して、少し濡れる程度にする技術は、さすがに長年無事故と聞いていた通りのものでした。
因みにコンタクトレンズをはめたままでしたが全然問題なかったです。
それと送迎のヤノさんは最高に面白かったです。
お迎えのバスの中からヤノさんのギャグの連発(英語ですが…)で盛り上がりました。
ヤノさん、楽しい思い出ありがとう!送迎がヤノさんになった方は「当たり」ですよ。
次回は是非150mにチャレンジしたいですね。その時もまたこのツアーを利用したいと思います。

Nice experience, but really too short. Probably because we were too many on the boat, with too little time for the turn. We stayed in the air for only 5 minutes. But anyway it was exciting and they are very professional. And they take beautiful pictures, in case someone would like to buy (I did).

On my first trip to Hawaii, I signed up for parasailing at my husband's suggestion to create unforgettable memories by the sea. As someone with a fear of heights, I was quite nervous, but as we gently ascended and stabilized in the air, my fear quickly faded, and I was able to enjoy the aerial stroll! The view of Waikiki's ocean and cityscape was amazing, and I experienced the thrill of watching birds fly below me. The guide's skills were excellent, and I was truly glad to participate.
I shared the ride with one other person, and we were able to take pictures of each other. There was someone with a video camera, and I thought it was great to capture such a precious experience. If you ask the guide, they can take professional photos for $30.
The boat swayed more than I expected, and since others were on board while we were parasailing, I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication. Thank you for a wonderful time and unforgettable memories!☆
初めてのハワイ、思い出に残る海遊びをしようと旦那さんの提案でパラセイルに申し込みました。
高所恐怖症の私はかなり緊張していましたが、フワリとゆっくりあがり空中でも安定しているためすぐに怖さはなくなり、空中散歩を楽しむことができました!ワイキキの海や街並みを一望でき景色は最高、鳥が自分より下を飛ぶという興奮する時間を過ごすことができました。
ガイドさんのテクニックも素晴らしく、本当に参加してよかったです。
11人で同乗したのですが、お互い写真を取り合いっこもできました。ビデオを持ってきている方がいて、貴重な体験を記録できるのでいいなと思いました。ガイドさんに依頼すると30ドルで本格的な写真を撮影・販売してくれます。
船は意外と揺れ、他の人がパラセイル中も乗っているので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲むのがオススメです。
素晴らしい時間と思い出をありがとうございました☆

Good deal for all the transportation they provide. Photos are a bit expensive but at least they give you the digital copies and not print outs. It's breathtaking and beautiul up there. Not as scary as I'd thought. would try again next time. Bring your cameras up there. You'll never get a chance to take your own photos at 300' altitude.

My daughter told me about this tour when I was planing my trip to Hawaii. I booked it through hawaiiactivities.com website and I had no problems. They even called me one day prior to my activity to remind me of my pick up time and location.
The shuttle was there on time to pick me up and during the drive and took us the check-in location. After the safety briefing we started the tour.
The crew was really nice and informative. They are very professional and committed to provided us a unforgettable experience.
While waiting for our turn to go, we spend some time snorkeling and relaxing on the boat, Maunalua Bay is a paradise.
Once underwater you have a guide taking care of you during the whole time. It's so wonderful to see all the marine life coming right next to you, I saw dozens of colorful fishes and a lot of turtles.
The underwater scooter was for sure one of the coolest thing I have ever done.

This was my second time parasailing, and I couldn't forget the excitement from my first experience, so this time I went even higher, up to 300 meters, the highest available. The view of the beautiful ocean and mountains was amazing, and it felt like we were up there for more than 10 minutes. The staff were very kind; I had read reviews saying they asked for tips even though it was included, but I wasn't asked for a tip at all, and they only asked if I wanted to take pictures. On the way back, instead of being dropped off at the hotel, I was taken to Ala Moana Shopping Center, which saved time and allowed for a smooth transition to my next destination.
パラセイルは二度目で一度目の感動が忘れられず今回は更に高く一番高い300Mに乗りました。
一面の綺麗な海と山の景色は最高で時間も10分以上あったように感じられました。
スタッフの方も優しくてよくチップも込みなのに要求されたと言う口コミを見ますが全くチップなんて言われなかったし写真は撮るか聞かれた位でした。
帰りもホテルではなくアラモアナショッピングセンターで降ろしていただき時間にロスがなく次の目的地までスムーズに行けました。

This was the most fun I've ever had paragliding! The height of 120 meters is appealing, but the long time spent in the air allowed me to enjoy the scenery slowly. The parachute is colorful and beautiful, so taking photos and videos turns out really nice. Even though it's early in the morning, you can return to the hotel quickly and still have plenty of time to play afterward. Also, if you ask the staff, they will take photos for you. They put about 30 photos on an SD card for $30. I realized this after I finished, so I didn't have any photos, but if you ask, you can get some wonderful pictures. It's so much fun, so definitely give it a try!

We had an awesome time. Our first for both parasailing and jet skiing. We loved every minute of it. As soon as we checked in, my husband I got the feel of excitement from then on and up until we got back into our car. We loved that we were able to take home the memories we had from that day. If we could do it all over again, we would, maybe not the falling off the jet ski part, well maybe the falling off too because it was our first time. Hardest part of falling down was trying to get back up coz I'm a big girl but thanks to my husband he helped me up and we just kept on riding.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing! Hope to see you again at H2O Sports Hawaii!!

The concept is great. Transport is reliable, clean and on time. The tour guide, Harry, was entertaining and very friendly. The only thing we would suggest is that surfing be offered as one of the activities - it is after all what the area is best known for!
I would recommend this for anyone who wants an active day.
Thank you for the great review, surfing is offered to those with prior experience with our basic package.For the unexperienced folks we require they book the package which includes the "SURF LESSON". We are sorry if that wasn't explained thoroughly by Harry and will have to talk to him about that.

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.

Our family of 6 adults from Brisbane Australia loved this whole day tour. Our driver / tour guide Sam picked us up from our hotel on time, & drove safely. He was so friendly and knowledgeable about Oahu, and explained all the sights on the way to the North Shore - he make the entire trip an awesome experience. He gave us a drive by & quick stop at each of the available activities before we chose them, then dropped us all to our chosen areas. 3 of us chose bike riding along the famous surfing beaches where we could stop and have beach time as we liked; the other 3 the walk through the beautiful gardens to the waterfall. Though a lovely walk, it is quite a long one, for anyone older. If you want a swim at the Falls, take cash for a compulsory life jacket hire! From there we walked back to Waimea Bay beach for a swim until our bus pick up. Our next activity for 4 of us was SUP (stand up paddle boarding) and 2 did kayaking. We LOVED this time on the water and would have liked to have a bit less time on the morning activities and more time for the afternoon ones! After, we walked through the town and sampled the Shaved Ice and some delicious lunch before boarding the bus completely satisfied with our day. We did several different tours while in Waikiki, and this was BY FAR the very best for the sightseeing, and activities on offer, plus the freedom to have our own time was fantastic. We were REALLY impressed with Sam the driver & happy to tip him well for his outstanding service - he contributed in a big way to making it the best tour during our time in Hawaii. Thank you Sam! I would highly recommend this tour, well worth it and we have great memories of our day.

We used this for our honeymoon. The weather was clear and perfect for parasailing.
Besides us, there were a group of six students and a couple, and we all boarded the boat together. I wanted to ask for some photos, but I didn't know where to request them, so unfortunately, I couldn't make a request. However, I handed my phone to one of the students who was with us to take some pictures. I put another phone in a waterproof bag and hung it around my neck to take photos from the sky.
This time we went up to 120, and it felt amazing with the blue sea and sky spread out in front of us; I was so excited! It felt like we were floating for quite a long time. I kept saying how amazing it was. It wasn't scary at all, so next time I want to challenge the highest one!

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.

I experienced this during my honeymoon trip to Hawaii. In fact, I had signed up last year as well, but unfortunately, it rained...
Finally, my wish came true, and I was able to fly!
The weather was great, and a bus came to pick us up from the hotel, so we had no problems getting to the location. We boarded the boat and set off. The wind felt nice, and there were six groups flying during our time. There was a family of four from Brazil who split into pairs, two couples that seemed to be on their honeymoon from Japan, and a pair of Japanese girls.
We sat at the front of the boat, and we would fly in the order we sat.
I was nervous until it was our turn, but since we were the third group, I felt reassured watching the people in front of us fly. When it was finally our turn, we put on the harnesses, and before we knew it, we were counting down from 1, 2, 3, and rising into the sky.
We ascended much more quietly than I expected, and once we were up in the air, I couldn't hear the sound of the boat's engine at all. It was truly peaceful, and it felt like a serene stroll in the sky.
I signed up for 90 meters, but I had no idea how high we actually went. I couldn't tell if there was much difference between us and those who went to 150 meters.
I wasn't sure how long we were flying, but it felt like just the right amount of time. Before we returned to the boat, we skimmed the surface of the water, and I got a little wet from the splash. We were squealing with excitement, but the people who flew after us were much quieter and seemed to be lowered quite a bit closer to the water.
After three more groups flew, while we were still on the boat, the staff pointed and shouted, "Whale, whale!" When I looked in that direction, I saw a whale's tail, and we even got to do some whale watching!
The time spent in the air was just right; if it were any longer, I might have gotten bored, but it was also not too short, making me want to do it again.
I had seen in this post that I could buy an SD card for $30, so I purchased it. They take a considerable number of photos, so I think it's worth buying.
For what to bring, $30 and a tip (we gave $20), a towel, and a camera are sufficient. I think it's best to go with a small bag.
I was too scared to take my camera up in the air, but if you have a waterproof one that you can hang around your neck, that might work.
The Japanese couples were taking pictures of each other from the boat.
However, the staff were really good at taking photos, so if you're going to spend $30 to buy them, you might not need to take your own.
I go to Hawaii every year, so I definitely want to do this again next time!
新婚旅行でハワイに行った時に体験しました。実は昨年も申し込みしていたのですが、あいにくの雨で…。
念願叶って空を飛べました!
いいお天気で、ホテルまではバスが迎えに来てくれて、何も問題なく現地まで行けました。
船に乗っていざ出発。
風が気持ち良く、私たちの時は6組が飛びました。
ブラジル?の女のファミリーが4人で2人ずつに分かれてと、日本人の新婚旅行らしきカップル二組、日本人の女の子2人組でした。
船で先頭の方に乗って座った順に空を飛びます。
飛ぶまではドキドキでしたが、3組目だったので、前に飛んでる人たちを見てからで、なんとなく大丈夫そうだと安心し、いざ自分たちの順番。
金具をつけたら結構すぐに1.2.3.とカウントされ船から空へ上がります。
思ってたよりもはるかに静かに空へ少しずつ上がり、空の上は船のエンジンの音も聞こえないので本当に静かで空中散歩しているかのように穏やかに飛んでいました。
90mで申し込みましたが、実際はどれくらい上がってるのか、150?の人とどれ位差があるのかは全く分かりませんでした。
何分くらい飛んでいるのかよくわからなかったですが、程よい時間あげてもらい、最後に船に着く前に海面に足が着く位にスレスレを飛ばせてくれたりと、遊びこごろもあり、履いていたハーフパンツは少し濡れるくらいでした。
キャーキャー言っていたので、程よく水に濡れた位でしたが、私たちの後に飛んだ人たちは、静かだったので結構お尻が着く位に下げられてました。
その後3組が飛んだのですが、船に乗っている間に、スタッフが『ホエール、ホエール』と指を指していたのでその方向を見るとクジラの尾びれが見えて、ホエールウォッチングまでできちゃいました!!
空中にいる時間が本当に程よく、もっといたら飽きるかもだけど、物足りなくもなく、またやりたいって思える位の時間でした。
写真もこの書き込みを見ていたので30ドルでSDカードの購入ができることも事前に知っていましたので、購入しました。
かなりの量を撮ってもらえるので買ってもいいと思います。
持ち物は30ドルとチップ(私たちは20ドル渡しました)、タオルとカメラがあれば充分です。小さめのバッグで行くのがいいと思います。
カメラは怖くて空には持っていけませんでしたが、首から下げたりして、かつ防水であればいいかもしれません。
日本人カップル達は、お互いに船から撮ってもらっていました。
ただ、スタッフさんがかなりいいかんじで撮ってくれるので、30ドル出して買うのであれば、そうしなくてもいいかなって思いました。
毎年ハワイに行くので、また行く時にはやりたいと思います!

After the check-in at Kualoa Ranch we took a shuttle to Moli'i Fishpond deck. When crossing the fishpond on a floating boat make sure to have your camera ready! It's the best time to take pictures of the majestic mountain range. The scenery is incredible, you feel like you are in a movie!
Once on the other side, we started enjoying our day at this beautiful private beach with views from Chinaman's Hat and Kaneohe Bay. They have restrooms, changing rooms, fresh water shower, covered picnic tables and a staff member to help you if you need anything. Make sure to bring sunscreen and some snacks.
My brother and I spent the morning kayaking, snorkeling, stand up paddling and playing games. The staff took us on a quick Glass Bottom Boat ride and we spotted a lot of green sea turtles! After all those activities we were just relaxing in a hammock under a palm tree.
I will definitely come back to enjoy another relaxing day there!
