H2O Sports Parasailing Adventure Ride at Maunalua Bay [600ft & 800ft lines]
Parasailing Great, SeaBreeze Okay
Posted on: 2008/10/07

Would absolutely a hundred percent recommend parasailing to anyone and everyone. It was our first time and it was thrilling--not scary at all. For the price and the length of the event, this company was fine, but there was no friendliness, no smiles, no checking on how we were doing. They had signs everywhere asking for tips but they did absolutely nothing at all to earn them. Additionally, the lobby and office was heaving Japanese-geared, most of the prominant signs are in Japanese and the lady at the front desk was difficult to understand through her accent.

There was no shuttle service. We had to carry the board by ourselves, and it was just too expensive... Isn't half the price more reasonable?

Kailua Bay 2-Hour Guided Kayaking Tour with Lunch - Explore Tide Pools & More!
Untitled
Posted on: 2008/09/15

I booked this kayaking trip with some anxiety since I was taking along my nephew who's previous experience in swimming was strictly in swimming pools and boogie boarding in the Texas gulf coast. I was pleasantly surprised how enjoyable and safe this adventure turned out to be. Our instructor, Bailey Coogersberger (I'm not sure of the spelling), a Korean American chef out of Georgia was most helpful, and very patient with his instructions and very knowledgeable of the terrain, flora/fauna not to mention the folklore of the area which made for an educational trip to boot. He even shared some places where we could get some good local eating, being a former chef myself. Incidentally, I did check those he recommended and very happy that i did. More power to your company and will definitely recommend this trip if you have that extra day to spare.

I felt this way for the first time!!
こんな気分初めてでした!!
Posted on: 2008/09/11

Most of the customers were Caucasian. However, the instructions and requirements were not difficult, and as long as you follow what the person in front of you does, there shouldn't be any language issues. After departing from the harbor, we were out in the waters off Ala Moana Beach in about ten minutes. There, we put on our gear and before we knew it, we were soaring into the sky. It really felt like we were flying, and it was incredibly refreshing. The air was very quiet, and while gently floating for a little over ten minutes, we enjoyed views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, rainbows, and planes flying above. The landing was completely smooth, and I didn't feel any burden at all. The price felt reasonable, so I definitely recommend it. They take photos for a fee, but I usually don't request those. However, since there were four of us, it was $15, and they give you the film on the way back, which is also affordable. I tipped $5 per person. Given this price, I really felt it was worth trying for a memorable travel experience.

お客さんはほとんどが白人系でした。でも注意事項も要領もそんな難しくなく、前の人の通りにやれば語学の点では問題ないです。港を出発して10分程度でアラモアナビーチの沖に出ます。そこで装具をつけてあらよというまに、空に飛び出します。本当に飛び出されるという感じで、とっても爽快。空中はとても静かで、ワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッド、虹や上空を飛び交う飛行機を眺めながら、ふわりふわりと10分少々の心地より空中散歩です。着地も全くスムースで何の負担も感じませんでした。値段的にもお手ごろ感があるので、是非ともお勧めします。写真を有料で撮ってくれるんですが、通常そういうのは頼まないのですが、4人で行って$15、帰りににはフィルムをくれるので、こちらもお手ごろです。チップは一人5ドル払いました。このお値段ならば、旅の記念にチャレンジしてみてよかったと、つくづく思った次第です。

Makani Catamaran Day Sail on Oahu - Waikiki & Diamond Head Cruise with Full Bar and Transportation
Best "must do" on the water!
Posted on: 2008/09/09

We thoroughly enjoyed our trips aboard the Makani (so good we did it twice)!!

The boat is modern and very roomy. The crew without equal (especially canine "Captain" Pal)! On our first sail, we were treated to a fantastic show by a large school of dolphins. Pal (all 9 pounds of him) dove off the stern to swim with his "buddies". Not expected, but nonetheless unforgetable.

The scenery, crew, and value of this adventure are unmatched anywhere on the island in our opinion. Thanks, John, for the great times. We'll be back soon!

Even though we didn't catch any fish, I found the experience enjoyable. I learned a lot from the friendly staff, and would go again next time I'm in Hawaii. Hopefully we'll catch something next time.

It was amazing!
最高でした!
Posted on: 2008/09/04

The pickup bus was about 10 minutes late, which made me a bit anxious, but I was prepared for that, so it wasn't a problem. The other participants were all foreigners, which heightened the feeling of being on vacation abroad, and now that I think about it, I’m glad there weren't any Japanese people. We hardly understood any English, but it felt like there was no need to worry. I had heard that the boat would sway, so I took motion sickness medication, and that helped. Indeed, the speed was quite fast, and there was enough bouncing that taking the medication might be a good idea for peace of mind. The view of Hawaii from the sky was truly amazing. Up there, it hardly swayed, so my partner and I could quietly enjoy the scenery. I was able to bring an underwater camera, so I took beautiful photos from above and was very satisfied.

ピックアップのバスが10分くらい遅れたので少しドキドキしましたが、それくらいのことは覚悟の上だったので問題なしでした。
参加者は私たち以外は外国の方たちでしたが、海外に遊びに来たという気分が高まって、今になって思うと日本人がいなくて良かったかなと思います。
私たちは英語がほとんどわかりませんでしたが心配いらない感じでした。
ボートが揺れると聞いていたので酔い止めを飲んでいったので大丈夫でした。確かにスピードもかなり出てたしバウンドするくらいの揺れだったので飲んで行ったほうが安心かもしれません。
空から見るハワイの景色は本当に最高でした。上ではほとんど揺れないので静かに彼とふたりで景色を楽しめました。
水中カメラを持って乗れたので空の上から綺麗な写真も撮れて大満足しました。

Oahu Two Tank SCUBA Diving Boat Tour for Beginner Divers - Waikiki Dive Center
Great Couple of Dives
Posted on: 2008/09/02

We dove to a downed Course Air at 120 ft and Koko Crater about 30 ft. The Course Air was very cool and second dive to Koko Crater was great too, lots of sea life including a half dozen sea turtles. The dives were both led by Scott a master dive instructor who was fun and professional.

Great day
Posted on: 2008/09/02

I took the biking tour through North Shore. Justin was a very good guide and showed us the ins and outs of the North Shore community. Justin showed me the best routes to take with my mountain bike. The tour was right on time and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour as it is a great value. It was a nice touch that water and snacks were provided on board.

I participated in the standard category.
スタンダードで参加しました。
Posted on: 2008/08/04

In the morning, I participated in a morning cruise on the Makani and then went parasailing. Since the location was close, I joined without transportation. I wondered if I would be scared before it started, but once I was lifted up, I felt no fear at all. I participated with my 9-year-old daughter, and she also said she wasn't scared and enjoyed it. Later, she mentioned that she wanted to do it again. The view from above is amazing, and with only the sound of the wind, it feels incredible. There were two boats, but it seemed they only had the standard one. The boat sped quite a bit on the way to the location, so it was a bit bumpy, but after that, we just floated with the wind, so I didn't get seasick. I would love to participate again.

AMにMakani号のモーニングクルーズで、その後、パラセイリングに参加しました。
場所が近いので、送迎なしで参加しました。
始まる前は怖いかな?とも思いましたが、いざ、浮き上がってからは全く怖さはありませんでした。9歳の娘との参加でしたが、娘も怖くはないとの事で、楽しんでいました。後で、聞いたらまた参加したいとの事。
上からの景色は最高ですし、風の音しか聞こえない中、最高の気分になります。
2艇ありましたが、どうもスタンダードだけの船だったようです。場所に向かうまでの船はかなり飛ばしますので揺れますが、後は、風だけで浮きあがりますので、船酔いはしなかったです。また、参加したいと思います。

カイルアビーチ送迎シャトルサービス 嬉しい5時間滞在!ビーチグッズなど各種レンタル付き<日本語スタッフ/ランチ付>
I was moved by the beauty of the ocean.
海の美しさに感動
Posted on: 2008/08/02

I always enjoyed playing at Waikiki Beach, but we decided to try Kailua, which is said to be "the number one beach in the U.S." We went with low expectations. However, as soon as we arrived, I was captivated by the blue of the ocean and was absolutely thrilled. I had heard that it could be windy, but when we went in December, there was hardly any wind and the sea was calm. I even thought, "I want to live here forever." We all decided that we would definitely come to Kailua every year.

いつもワイキキのビーチで満足して遊んでいましたが、「全米ナンバー1のビーチ」というカイルアにいてみようという話になり、あまりに期待しないでいきました。しかし、着いたとたん、その海の青さのとりこになり、もう大感激。風が強いと聞いていましたが、12月にいったのですが、風はほとんどなく穏やかな海でした。「もうずっとここに住みたい」とまで思いました。毎年絶対にカイルアに来ようと家族全員で決めました。

I flew in the sky!
空を飛びました!
Posted on: 2008/07/31

I had always wanted to try parasailing. The night before flying, I was excited but also so nervous that I couldn't sleep at all... However! When I actually took off, it felt amazing, and I felt like I was a bird. I kept saying "Wow!" at the beautiful scenery of Hawaii, and before I knew it, I had forgotten my fear.

I was also worried about getting seasick, but since I had read this experience beforehand, I took motion sickness medication before participating, and I didn't feel sick at all (maybe because I was nervous?!). I was able to enjoy my time on the boat with everyone. For those concerned about seasickness, I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication.

The foreigners on the boat don't understand much Japanese, but there's no need to worry at all. Just be aware that the tip was more than I expected, so I recommend bringing a little extra money.

The restroom is located to the left as you head towards the port. However, there is no door, so I think it's a good idea to have your partner keep watch at the entrance.

For those who are hesitant, please try it and experience this wonderful feeling. I want to do it again!

以前からやってみたかったパラセイリング。
飛ぶ前日の夜は楽しみな反面、緊張と興奮のあまり全然眠れませんでした・・・。
しかし!いざ実際に飛んでみると、とても気持ちが良くて
鳥になったような気分でした。
ハワイのきれいな景色にただ「すごい!」の連発でいつのまにか恐怖心は忘れていました。

あと、船酔いを心配していましたが、参加前にこの体験談を読んでいたので、酔い止めを服用して参加したら全然酔わず(緊張していたからかも?!)船上でも皆さんと楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。船酔いが心配な方は、やはり酔い止めの服用をお勧めします。

船上の外人さん達は日本語はあまり通じませんが、まったく心配無用です。ただチップは思った以上だったので少し余分にお金は持参されることをお勧めします。

トイレは港に向かって左にあります。ただしトイレにはドアーがないので入り口でパートナーに見張っていてもらうと良いと思います。

躊躇している方も是非トライしてこの気持ちよさを味わってください。私はまたやりたいです!

Kailua Bay 2-Hour Guided Kayaking Tour with Lunch - Explore Tide Pools & More!
Family Fun kayaking to Flat Island
Posted on: 2008/07/21

Our family of 6 had a great time on the 2 hour kayak tour to Flat Island! Our guide Cyrus was very knowledgeable about the island and the near-by beaches. He also shared a few Hawaiian stories explaining the history of Flat Island and some of the flowers growing there. All in all, I'd recommend the activity to anyone interested in kayaking the crystal clear waters of the eastern Oahu shore. And if you're a more experienced kayaker, or in better shape than us, try the 4-hr tour!

Posted on: 2008/07/17

I was a bit worried about the roller coaster since it seemed a little scary, but it was completely fine. I can't speak English, but there are Japanese instructions on the boat, and they give directions in Japanese when putting on equipment and during landing, which is reassuring. However, the pickup and check-in at the port are all in English, so I had to watch what others were doing... During the final splash into the sea, even strangers can really get excited together. The wind is strong up there, which is a bit scary, but the view is amazing, so I definitely want to do this again in Hawaii next time.

ジェットコースターも少し恐くなってきていたので大丈夫かと心配でしたが,全く大丈夫でした。
英語はしゃべれないけれど,船には日本語の説明書もあるし
装備を着けるときや着地の時は日本語で指示してくれるので安心です。ただしピックアップや港でのチェックインは全て英語なので周りをみながらの行動になりましたが・・・
最期の海ポチャの時には知らない同志でも結構もりあがれます。上空は風が強いのでそれは少し恐いのですが眺めは最高なので次のハワイでも是非やりたいです。

I first learned about parasailing from the television, and I really wanted to try it! I felt no fear at all and soared high into the sky; it was incredibly refreshing! The view of the ocean from above is completely different!! The staff were cheerful and could speak some Japanese, so I felt at ease during the experience.

It was fun, we were waiting for the climax once we got up there but never got it. There was a young girl and her grandpa and the staff was really good with them. There is a big push for tipping, despite the cost of the activity. We used their transportation and they were reliable.

Parasailing in Waikiki with Hawaiian Parasail - Diamond Head Views with Triple & Tandem Flights
We had a blast!!!
Posted on: 2008/06/24

This parasailing experience is awesome. The kids had a great time (it helped that I offered $20 for a "really good ride.) A crew member even offered to take pictures with my camera for me rather than charge for using theirs (and he took some really unique ones.) The crew was friendly. The shuttle service was on time (though we could have done without the pet bird in the cruise.) I highly recommend this company.

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls
The beach part was great not "hike"
Posted on: 2008/06/16

The description of the Falls "hike" should be reworded to "casual stroll". All the interesting parts that might be qualified as hikes were barred as off limits for falling rock or just closed off. Also, the change in elevation was laughable. It was more like going to a park.

The waterfall actually had water, but not enough water yet for swimming, which was teh main point of it. That part was very underwhelming.

The snorkeling on teh beach was great. Amazing area and great knowledgeable staff/tour guides. highly recommend that part.

Parasailing was a lot of fun. The staff was very friendly and funny. What keeps me from giving them a 5 star is that the pictures they take of you cannot be purchased individually. So if you want any of the pictures they take you have to buy all of them which starts at $30.

Parasailing was GREAT!
Posted on: 2008/06/09

My boyfriend and I went parasailing to celebrate our anniversary, and it was awesome! The crew was polite, interactive, and entertaining, but at the same time safe and professional. The boat ride and the parasailing itself was lots of fun! I thought that it would be scary, but it was really easy and exciting and I wasnt that afraid at all. It was also romantic to parasail with my boyfriend, so this is a great activity for couples! (But friends and family as well.) I would suggest this activity to everyone, and would gladly do it again =]
