Paddle surfing was really fun!
At first, I was worried about whether I could stand on the board, but when I cautiously stood up, it felt strange.

It was a bit wobbly and scary where the waves were, but once I got the hang of handling the paddle, it was truly enjoyable!

I want to participate again!

パドルサーフィン、ほんとに楽しかった☆
最初はボードの上に立てるか不安だったけど、恐る恐る立ち上がってみると、不思議な感じがしました。

波があるところはふらふらして怖かったけど、パドルの扱い方とかわかるとほんとに楽しかったです！

また参加したいです！！

I visited four seas on this trip, but this one was the most beautiful!! The sea was very rough that day, and kayaking was quite challenging. Apparently, it’s usually much clearer and easier. But it was rewarding in its own way (laughs). The set pizza and plate lunch that I shared with my friend were also delicious☆

今回の旅で４つの海に行きましたがこの海が一番綺麗でした！！
この日の海はすごく荒れていてカヤックはとても大変。本来はもっと透明で楽ちんだそうです。その分達成感はありましたけどね（笑）
友人と半々にして食べたセットのピザもプレートランチも美味しかったです☆

The last time I went to Hawaii, I visited Kailua Beach, but that time I only had free time on the beach and ended up with too much time on my hands. This time, I decided to join a kayak tour.

It's a small uninhabited island close to the beach, and the guide spoke in Japanese, which made it quite enjoyable. They also teach you how to paddle a kayak at the beginning, so I think it's a tour that's easy for beginners to join.

前回ハワイに行ったときにもカイルアビーチに行ったのですが、その時は浜辺で自由行動だけだったので、時間を持て余してしまい、今回はカヤックツアー付きにしてみました。
浜辺から近い小さい無人島なのですが、日本語でガイドしてくれて結構楽しかったです。カヤックの漕ぎ方も最初に教えてくれるので初心者の方にも参加しやすいツアーだと思います。

If you love the ocean, you can easily enjoy surfing in Hawaii, a place everyone dreams of.

At the edge of Waikiki Beach, I received kind instruction from wonderful staff.

Of course, I had never surfed before, but I was able to experience riding the waves in Hawaii.

My wife isn't a strong swimmer, but even after I dragged her along, she ended up smiling on the way back.

I'm so moved to have fulfilled a long-time dream.

海好きの方なら誰もが憧れたハワイでサーフィンが気軽に楽しめます(^o^)

ワイキキビーチの外れで素敵なスタッフの方に親切に教えていただいて

もちろんサーフィンなんかやった事ない僕がハワイで波に乗る経験が出来ました(^o^)

奥さんはあんまり泳げないのですが無理矢理誘っても最後は笑顔で帰れて

長年の夢叶えられて感動してます

We were able to participate on a wonderful day with great weather. I thought kayaking might be tough for us as a couple in our fifties, but we only felt a bit tired in our arms and managed to paddle all the way to the island offshore. Along the way, a sea turtle came very close to our kayak, which was really lucky. It will be a lifelong memory.

素晴らしい天気の日に参加できました。
カヤックは、５０過ぎの私達夫婦にはきついかなーと思っていましたが、
多少腕が疲れたと言う程度で、沖の島まで漕ぎ着けられました。
途中、うみがめがカヤックのすぐ近くまで来たりして、とてもラッキーでした。一生の思い出になります。

It was very expensive and thrilling. It was fun and scary, and the view from above the sea was amazing. The guide was cheerful, and we were able to enjoy ourselves.

とても高くてスリル満点。楽しかったのと、怖かったのとで海の上から見る最高の景色も抜群。ガイドも陽気で楽しむ事ができました。

Since I was a beginner in stand-up paddle surfing, I joined a tour with lessons. While the explanations were clear, there wasn't much to remember, so I thought it might have been better to study the technique on my own beforehand and join a tour without lessons. But it was fun!

スタンダップ･パドル・サーフィン初心者だったので、レッスン付きのツアーへ参加しました。
わかりやすく説明していただいたのは良いのですが、あまり覚える事は少ないので、これなら事前に独学でやり方を勉強し、レッスン無しのツアーへ参加した方が良かったかなと思いました。
でも楽しかったです。

You can enjoy Diamond Head and the deep blue sea with a different atmosphere than usual. However, those who are prone to seasickness definitely need to bring motion sickness medication.

ダイヤモンドヘッドや真っ青な海がいつもとは違った雰囲気で楽しめます。
ただ、船酔いする方は酔い止め薬が必ず必要です。

I used this for my honeymoon.

I added the option to take photos for $30.

I was able to see wild dolphins from above and had a great time.

I paid $50 for the tip and the photo option.

ハネムーンで利用させてもらいました。

３０ドルで写真をとってもらうオプションを追加しました。

上空から野生のイルカも見えて、楽しむことが出来ました。

チップと写真オプションで５０ドル払いました。

It was my first experience with parasailing, and I had a great time. Thank you!

パラセイル初体験でしたが、非常に楽しめました。
ありがとうございました。

It's conveniently located, and after kayaking, you can relax at Kailua or Lanikai Beach, making for a fulfilling day. You can also choose from several places for lunch, which is great.

距離的にもちょうどよく、カヤック後はカイルアやラニカイのビーチでゆっくりできるので、一日満喫できます。ランチもいくつかのお店から選べるので、いいですよ。

Anyway, the wind and waves were strong, and I ended up in the water right from the start... But after about 30 minutes of effort, it was flat island.

I saw rare birds and chicks on the island, went around, and the beautiful sea made my fatigue disappear! (I didn't have the leisure to look around while paddling, haha.)

The return trip was smooth~♪

とにかく風、波が強くて　のっけから
海へドボンでした・・・。が
３０分強頑張ったら　フラットアイランドでした。

島では珍しい鳥や雛をみて一周し
綺麗な海も見て疲れがふっとびましたよ！（漕いでいる時には
まわりを見る余裕がありませんでした笑）

帰りはスイスイでした~♪

This was one of the best activities one could imagine to do..well worth the cost..everyone enjoyed themselves...we could snorkle or use the "BOB"...staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. A must do activity for everyone...even a novice can do it...for all ages. My friend who isn't a great swimmer and never snorkled before enjoyed himself immensly...excellent !!!

I was wondering what it would feel like to float and return to the boat, but it was really easy. I could float gently, and it was a lot of fun.

浮くときと船に戻るときがどんな感じなのかなと思っていたが、すごい簡単でした。ふわっと浮いていけるしとても楽しかったです。

We participated with my grandmother, children, and a couple, making a group of four. We were able to enjoy parasailing together. The staff on the boat mostly spoke English, but they occasionally spoke in Japanese to make sure we understood. After it was over, everyone applauded us, and we had a valuable experience. I would like to request this again for our next marine sports activity. Both the children and my grandmother were delighted. Thank you very much.

おばあちゃん、子供、夫婦4人で参加しました。4人一緒でパラセーリングできみんな一緒に楽しめました。船上でのスタッフは英語が多かったですが、所々日本語で分かるように話しかけてくれました。終わった後はみんな拍手でねぎらってくれて貴重な体験ができました。次回マリンスポーツ参加時にはお願いしたいと思ってます。子供もおばあちゃんも喜んでました。ありがとうございました。

It’s incredibly soothing. The endless horizon, the white sandy beach, the sound of the waves, the townscape—everything is just perfect. I only had time to visit Kailua Beach, but the guide mentioned that Lanikai has its own unique charm as well. Next time I go, I’d like to make the trip to Lanikai.
Most of the staff are Japanese, but almost all the foreign staff are fluent in Japanese, so you can participate with peace of mind.

とにかく癒されます。どこまでも続く水平線、白い砂浜、波の音、街並み、すべて最高です。カイルアビーチしか時間がなくていけませんでしたが、ラニカイもまた違った良さがあるとガイドが言ってました。次に行くときはラニカイまで足を運んでみたいと思います。
スタッフも日本人スタッフがほとんどですが、外国人スタッフもほぼ全員日本語がペラペラですので、安心して参加できます。

I'm not comfortable with normal scuba gear, so this was a good way to be able to get under the water and see the marine life off Hawaii.

The scooters were not fast, but that is due to safety.

Everyone gets a diver that looks after them and can go under with their partner/friend. I always felt I was in good hands.

The experience lasted 20 minutes, which is not much. But to allow several people to go down without using several days, one doesn't have a choice. One would always want more time with something that is enjoyable.

A bit pricey, but safety costs, and the value was everything considered, not bad.

Since it was my first time kayaking, I was initially a bit anxious about whether I would be okay. However, the staff member who assisted us was Japanese and taught us patiently, and within just 30 minutes, we were out on the sea heading towards Flat Island. We had chosen a 2-hour guided tour plan, but for those who want to paddle more, there seems to be a longer course plan available, which I would recommend.

For lunch, I ordered pizza as mentioned in the reviews here. The staff's recommendation was the Spinach Garlic Pizza, so I ordered that and it was very delicious! There were other varieties I wanted to try, but the portion was quite large for one person, so I gave up on that.

In the afternoon, I was able to relax on the beach. Since there were waves, it might be nice to rent a bodyboard (which was free) and have some fun.

　カヤックをすること自体初めてだったので、大丈夫かな？と当初不安がありましたが、担当してくれたスタッフは日本人の方で、丁寧に教えてくれ、ものの30分で海に出てフラットアイランドに向かっていました。2時間のツアーガイド付きプランにしていたので、もっと漕ぎまくりたい方は長いコースプランがあるらしいのでそちらをお勧めします。
　
　お昼はここの書き込みにあった通りにピザを注文しました。こちらで勤めているスタッフのお勧めはホウレンソウガーリックピザだったので、それを注文して食べましたが、大変おいしかったですよ！！他にも種類があるので試してみたかったのですが、一人前が大きかったので諦めました。

　午後からはビーチでのんびり過ごすことができました。波があるのでボディーボードなんかを借りて（無料でした）遊ぶのもいいかもしれませんね。

I was able to fully enjoy the fun of kayaking. It was a lot of fun. Thank you very much.

カヤックの楽しさを満喫できました。大変楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

This was one of the highlights of my vacation. My husband and I booked this activity before we arrived in Oahu, and I was actually a little nervous about it as it got closer. But, I have to say--this was a ton of fun. The other couples in our group were quite a bit younger than us--we are in our late forties--but I think this activity would be OK for almost any age and level of mobility. The crew was professional and skilled on the water, and everything felt safe and secure. And the ride was fantastic! The crew took pictures of the whole event and the memory card was available for purchase at the end of the ride for $30. These are some of my favorite vacation pictures, and proof to our kids that we did it! The flight itself was gentle. You gained height steadily and the views were terrific. The crew brought you back down, gave you a quick dunk in the ocean and landed you back on the boat. Go ahead and do this!

Although we lived in Hawaii for many years, we didn't decide to really enjoy ourselves until we came back for a visit this year. THis adventure on the Makani was the absolute highlight of this trip. It was fun, and most of all inexpensive. The crew was fun and very people friendly. The entire activity was just a complete joy.

As a first time parasailer, I thought it was AMAZING! I would totally go again and recommend that others go too. Hawaii Parasailing is awesome! The boat crew (Captain Jason and, darn it, I don't remember his name) and the shuttle driver were superb!!! They made everyone on the outing feel special and happy. As "bigger" girls, we were thrilled to get to ride together. I have to say that the office staff has something to be desired though. The girls were rude and condesending. I did not like dealing with them. But since we didn't have to deal with them too much it did not take away from the overall experience.

My friend wanted to parasail while she was visiting me on the island. I had never been and I am really glad we chose Hawaii Parasail. Hector made it easy and fun, not to mention, he was CUTE! :)
The Captain was great and so was our whole experience. Thanks!

Waikiki Diving Centre has good equipment and a good boat. Capt. Dave and Dive Instructor Marco were fun, friendly and professional. Dove on "Sea Tiger" wreck ... awesome dive to deck level at 100' and then to Horseshoe Reef ... Saw a Dragon Eel there ... very rare and very cool. Don't know how Marco found it buried in a coral hole but he did and made sure we all got a look.
Only 6 experienced divers on this outing ... excellent diver to guide ration. Was a great trip!

I participated with my 18-year-old daughter. We had a blast together!
Since I have a fear of heights, we chose the lowest option, but when we actually jumped, it didn't feel that high because the ocean was below us. However, the boats looked small, so it must have been quite a height.
The beautiful blue ocean surrounded us in a 360-degree panorama, and beyond that, we could see the streets of Waikiki. It was amazing!
Out of six groups, only two were Japanese, and we were able to take pictures together, which was great. We met a couple, Mr. O and his wife, for the first time on this tour, but later we coincidentally ran into them twice in Waikiki. The second time was at the hotel laundry. It was exciting to experience such coincidences because we participated in this tour.
There were various encounters, and it was a lot of fun!

１８歳の娘とい一緒に参加しました。ふたりで大はしゃぎ♪
高所恐怖症なので、一番低いのにしましたが、実際飛んでみると、下が海なのでそれほど高いとも感じず、でも、ボートが小さく見えるので、かなりの高さだったんでしょうね。
きれいな青い海が一面、３６０度パノラマ状態で、その向こうにワイキキの街並みが見えて、最高☆
６組のうち２組だけが日本人で、写真を取り合いでき、良かったです。そのＯさんご夫婦とは、このツアーではじめてお会いしたのですが、その後、ワイキキで二回も偶然お会いしました。二回目は、ホテルのランドリー。そんな偶然に興奮することができたのも、このツアーに参加したから。
いろんな出会いがあり、楽しいですよ♪

Was our first time. Had a great time! The staff was very helpful & friendly. We felt very safe with this crew. I would recommend this company to anyone, if we come back with our kids we will definitely repeat with Xtreme Parasail.

Since my first pregnancy, I've been away from BB... My youngest is now four years old! He can play with Dad quite a bit, and since they can watch the kids, I finally got to try surfing, which I've wanted to do for a long time! ☆彡 The explanations about stance and everything were super easy to understand, and I had a really great experience! The teacher's personality was also fantastic!

By chance, I was the only student, so I was really lucky!

Honestly, the paddle training was tough, but the joy of finally being able to ride made it worth it, and I was able to push through!

When I return to Japan, I’ll work hard so that my husband and kids won’t make fun of me!!!

一人目の妊娠から、遠のいていたBB・・・。
下も今年４歳！だいぶパパと男遊びもできるようになり、子供たちをみていてくれるというので…前からやりたかったサーフィンに初挑戦☆彡
スタンスの表現等、私にはすっごく説明がわかり易く、とっても良い体験が出来ました！
先生の人柄も◎~！！

たまたま、生徒が私のみだったので、私はかなりラッキーでした！

パドル修行は、正直きつかったですが、その分乗れた時の喜びが買っていて頑張れました！

日本に帰っても主と子供たちに馬鹿にされないように頑張るど~！！！

Before the experience, I read the reviews thoroughly and took motion sickness medication, so I didn't get seasick.

Regarding the tips, I had read that they should be paid on-site, so when I saw a paper in a visible spot on the boat saying "Please tip" in Japanese, I thought, "Ah, just like the reviews mentioned!" and was able to enjoy the experience comfortably.

However, the costs were higher than I expected, which made me a bit nervous when I saw others going up, but once it was my turn, all fear disappeared, and I genuinely had a great time. The staff offers to take photos for $30 for those who want them, but we decided to take turns with a nearby group of Japanese tourists. It was truly moving, so I highly recommend you try it!

体験にあたり、こちらのクチコミをよく読んでからのぞんだこともあり、酔い止め薬も飲んで行ったので船酔いはしませんでした。
チップについても、実は現地で払うようだということも読んでから行ったので、船のよく見えるところに「チップをお願いします」ということが日本語で書かれた紙が貼られているのをみても「あっクチコミに書いてあったとおりだ！」と思うくらいで、気持ちよく楽しんでくることができました。
ただ、思っていた以上に本当に高くあがるので、他の方があがっているのを見て少し緊張しましたが、自分の番になれば全然恐怖心も吹き飛び、心の底から楽しかったです。カメラは、スタッフの方が希望者に３０ドルで撮影してくれるのですが、私達は隣の日本人のグループとお互いに取り合うことにしました。本当に感動できるので、ぜひ体験してみてください！

1000 feet out and up, side by side, with my wife off Waikiki. It dosen't get any better. GREAT crew. Very safety concious and fun. Bought the picture disk. Our daughters had a blast too. Take the "dip"!

The blue sea and blue sky were truly amazing. I got tired because my wife didn't paddle much... haha. There's a shaved ice shop that President Obama would eat at when he comes to Hawaii, and it was really delicious! I highly recommend it. It's very close to Kailua Beach (which is the meeting point for this tour), so definitely stop by when you're nearby!

青い海、青い空、本当に最高でした。カヤックは妻があまり漕いでくれなかったので疲れましたが...笑　オバマ大統領がハワイに来たら食べるかき氷屋さんがあるのですがとても美味しかったですよ！お勧めです。カイルアビーチのすぐ近くにあるので（このツアーで行けば集合場所）近くに寄った時は是非！！
