This was a blast! It was strenuous but as a middle aged beginner not too. We teamed up in a double kayak and there were two other parent, young adult teams in our group who also expressed great enjoyment.

I went with my two sisters in late March. My sister and I were a bit nervous since it was our first experience, but the instructor was such a nice person (and super cute!!) that all our tension disappeared.
With her assistance, all three of us were able to stand up, and we were so thrilled!! Three hours flew by in no time. It was so much fun that we immediately made a reservation for the next day. We were completely captivated by the waves in Hawaii for two days.
I definitely want to rely on Girls Who Surf again next time!!
3月下旬に3姉妹で行ってきました。
私と妹は初体験だったので、少し緊張していましたが、インストラクターのお姉さんが、それはもういい人で(しかも超カワイイ!!)さっきまでの緊張はどこへやら・・
お姉さんにアシストしてもらいながら、3人とも立てるようになり、大感激!!
3時間なんてあっとゆう間でした。
あまりの面白さに、次の日も即予約^^
2日間ハワイの波に夢中でした。
次回も必ずガールズ・フー・サーフさんにお世話になりたいと思ってます!!

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♪

Originally from Florida, fishing trips are familiar to me. This trip was a complete disappointment! Thank goodness the scenery was beautiful. The fishing lines didn't use steel leaders, the hooks were the size of hooks used for small freshwater fish such as bluegill. certainly not for the likes of a saltwater fish. Also I felt like a child when the crewman handed me one "dixie" cup with bait to share with the two friends that came with me.
The fishing excursions I've taken in Florida included unlimited bait, each person receiving a bucket of their own and unlimited trips back to fill the bait bucket as needed, LARGE hooks and STEEL leaders on large shark type poles. There is never any guarentee of catching anything, but at least if you hook one you havwe the ability to reel it in. The one fish I did hook was to big for the supplied equipment. That's no fun and certainly not sporting.
Very disappointing :(

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!

It was a great time and great staff. It was a great night and had a big full moon. 30 seconds into the demonstration we had our first shark bite. Only downside of the trip was we only caught two for the boat which wasn't normal. We had a blast on the boat anyway though.

I had a great time on the jet ski excursion but I was very disappointed in the fact that they asked us if we wanted photos and we said yes and when we got back they didnt even take photos of the whole group, we had 2 ski's and they only took photos of the one. It was unfair that they only got one of us. When we asked about it upon return where you retrieve the photos the women at the counter were very rude. You have to remember that people are on special vacations when going there and you should MAKE THEM HAPPY.
Thanks

We had a lot of fun. Cooking and sharing the catch was a treat. Don't expect gormet food, but it was OK. Also don't expect to catch a lot of fish or anything BIG. Fishing around the island does not compare with deep sea fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. Take it for what it is, a fun time and a great view of Waikiki, at a reasonable price! We will do it again next time.

Learning to surf must be on just about everyone's 'must-do' list when they come to Hawaii. It was on mine because my Dad surfed in California while he was with the Marines.
I rented a board in Waikiki and went out on my own. Paddling is great exercise but I wasn't even able to stand up. I found an ad for Girls Who Surf in the Army MWR magazine and called them. At my first lesson, I was able to stand up and ride on a half dozen waves!
I went for another seven lessons over the next five months progressing from using a 12-foot board to being able to surf with a 7-foot board. I wanted to progress fast and the instructors at Girls Who Surf gave me the skills to do it.
Through Girls Who Surf, I gained confidence, strength endurance in my upper body and have improved my balance skills. My first lesson wore me out paddling for waves. Eight months later, I was able to paddle a mile to a surf-break then surf for an hour-and-a-half and still had energy to spare

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

Our tour guide Justin picked us up promptly outside our hotel when expected. He was very laid-back and friendly. We had a small group of 10. The bike ride was wonderful!! I would recommend it to everyone. Justin pointed out the must-see beaches (Pipeline, Sunset, Waimea) and north shore roadside eateries. North shore was unbelievable, unlike anything I've ever experienced. On the second half of the tour, we rode paddle boards which was also a blast! It was quite an upper body workout and was inexpensive too. Justin was very knowledgeable about the history of HI and kept us entertained during the drive. I would highly suggest everyone take this tour!

This was my second time on the sashimi II. The trips were very different. This trip there were only 8 people very nice, but no fish. The pickup was a mess. The driver thinks that it is better to park and go look for the guests instead of pulling up in front. Too many one way streets for him. Whatever. Don't think I will go again, but for the price even if you don't catch fish, you get a boat ride with dinner, and a sunset.

I participated on December 24th. Since we had never surfed before, we were a bit anxious about surfing itself and learning in English, but it was more enjoyable than we expected.
The instructor couldn't speak Japanese, but he was very kind and taught us in a way that was easy to understand. They also provided longer surfboards, so we were able to catch waves right away.
I think the instruction itself involves gestures, so it's okay if you don't understand much English, but being able to speak English would definitely enhance the experience.
Perhaps due to lack of exercise, I had muscle soreness starting the next day.
However, if I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to learn at Girls Who Surf.
12月24日に参加しました。私たちは今までにサーフィンをしたことがなかったので、サーフィン自体も不安でしたし、英語で習うのも少し心配でしたが、予想以上に楽しめました。
インストラクターの方は日本語が話せませんでしたが、とても優しく、わかりやすく教えてくれました。サーフボードも長めのものを用意してくれていたので、すぐに波に乗ることができました。
サーフィンの指導自体は身振り手振りもあるので、多少英語がわからなくても大丈夫だとは思いますが、英語は話せたほうが楽しめるとは思います。
運動不足のせいか、次の日から筋肉痛になりました。
でも、またハワイに行ったら必ずガールズ・フー・サーフで習いたいと思います。

My husband participated, and it seems he had a great time. There were about ten participants, including three Japanese people, ranging from a 13-year-old girl to couples.
Three staff members assisted, and after a basic explanation, they took us to the shallow waters (it's really shallow; you can stand even when you go out quite far).
He mentioned that even beginners were able to stand on the board and ride the waves. My husband, who doesn't usually exercise, talked about having muscle pain in his arms in the afternoon, but he was smiling and happily saying, "It hurts~" (laughs).
They also sold photo data on a CD as a keepsake. It costs $30, but it includes photos of my husband riding the board, which made for some really fun memories. The photos also include others who participated in the school with us, adding to the wonderful memories.
I was on a different tour, so I didn't see it directly, but my husband was captured vividly on the board, riding the waves, and then... falling off the board, which made for lively conversations about the actual experience.
Since everyone participated, it was hard to take photos of ourselves. The CD also included beautiful photos of Hawaii beyond just that day's events, so I recommend purchasing it.
参加したのは、主人だったのですが、とても楽しかったようです。13歳の女の子からカップルまで、日本人3人を含む10名ほどの参加者がいたようです。
3人のスタッフが付いてくれ、基本的な説明のあと、遠浅(ほんとに遠浅の海です。えっと思う場所まで置きに出ても足がつきます)へボードを持っていきます。
初心者でもボードに立ち、波に乗ることができたとのことでした。日ごろ運動をしない主人は、午後から筋肉痛で腕が痛いと話していましたが、ニコニコと嬉しそうに「いたい~」と話していました(笑)
また、想い出になる写真のデータをCDで販売していました。30ドルとなりますが、主人がボードに乗っている姿を連写してくれている写真などが含まれているので、とても楽しい想い出の写真になりました。写真には、一緒にスクールに参加した方も含まれます。これもすてきな想い出になりました。
私は、別のツアーに参加していたため、直接様子を見ていないのですが、主人がボードに乗り、波に乗り、そして・・・ボードから落ちていく姿が克明に写されいて、実際の様子に話が盛り上がりました。
参加した全員が置きに出ますので、自分たちを写真にはなかなか撮れません。CDには、当日の様子以外にもハワイの素敵な写真が入っていましたので購入をお勧めします。

We participated as a family, and everyone was able to stand up on the board on the first try! After a brief explanation of how to stand at the shop, we headed straight to the beach. Unfortunately, it seemed to be a day with no waves, so we had to try with small ones, but with the instructor's help, I was able to stand up! I had previously thought surfing wasn't for me, but my perspective has changed! My body was really close to its limits (laughs), but the instructors were fun and entertaining. I definitely want to challenge myself again next time!
However, one disappointing thing was the CD of photos sold at the end. I recommend that those who wish to purchase it check all the photos before buying! There might be cases where it features specific people, and you might not be in any of them.
ファミリーで参加しましたが、全員1回で立つことが出来ました!
簡単にショップで立ち方の説明を受け早速ビーチへ。残念ながら波がない日だったようで小さい波でのトライだったのですが、先生に思いっきり押してもらい立つことが出来ました!
今までサーフィンはあんまり…と思っていましたが、考えが変わりました!本当に身体は限界に近くなってましたが(笑)、先生達も楽しい人で面白かったです。次回もぜひ挑戦したいと思います!
ただ一つ残念だったのが、最後に販売される写真のCDです。
購入される方は全部の写真を確認してから購入することをお勧めします!意外に特定の人ばかりで自分が写っていない…と言うことがありますので。

Could not have been happier with the experience. Incredible scuba like experience - even for the non-swimmers. This is a definate must do when you are in Honolulu area.
Wonderful guides manuevered us around, gave us fish food and then dozen of incredible fish ate right out of our hand - it was great.
Their shuttle picked us up at the Waikiki Sheraton, We watched a quick video, they explained what was going to happen and we all board a boat that took us out into a calm harbor. BOB is a Scooter with a bubble attached and was very very easy to get used to.
