Oahu
This activity was a lot of fun. My husband went along with me as an observer. I got a lot of great pics. The price of the pics were a little too pricey. It was $30 for a disc of digital photos.
I did the "extreme" which was a lot of fun. They dunked me in the water twice and the view from the sky was beautiful. The guys on the boat had a great since of humor too. I plan on doing the jet ski activity on my next trip to Hawaii.
I would recommend this to anyone who isn't afraid of heights.
I originally started shortboarding in Japan, but I struggled with takeoff. I felt some resistance to lessons in Japan, so I thought I would participate in Hawaii instead.
As a man, I wondered how it would be with only female instructors, but the atmosphere was quite friendly and pleasant. The instructor was, of course, beautiful (laughs). The lessons were tailored to my level, and the teaching was both theoretical and easy to understand, allowing me to grasp the concepts during the lesson! Of course, I worked on perfecting my takeoff as well!
As soon as I returned to Japan, I challenged myself on the shortboard and was able to take off right away!
I finally became a surfer. Thank you, instructor Yu-ko!!
もともと日本でショートボードを始めたのですが、テイクオフがなかなか難しくつまずいてました。日本でのレッスンはなんか抵抗もあり、ハワイでならと思い参加しました。
男性として女性だけのインストラクターでどうかな？と思いましたが、なかなかフレンドリーな感じで雰囲気もよかったです。
インストラクターはもちろん美女でした（笑）
レッスンも私のレベルにあった教え方をして頂き、理論的かつ分かりやすい教え方で納得しながらレッスンできました！
もちろん、テイクオフも完璧になるまでに！
早速、日本へ帰ってきてからショートでチャレンジも、すぐにテイクオフできました！
やっとサーファーになれました、
インストラクターのyu-koさんありがとう！！

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♪

The experience of a lifetime and the staff was first rate
The beach was beautiful. Very good for boogie boarding but snorkeling was not happening unless you took a thirty minute walk to get there with all of your equipment. To get to the beach was a five minute walk which was not bad but there was no transportation offered to the family to get to the snorkeling part of the beach. Really this outing was over priced. Carrying four boogie boards, towels, and snorkeling gear with kids is not fun. So we did not to get to go snorkeling here. There should have been a small shuttle offered to get to certain areas of the beach. Who wants to be carrying this equipment back and forth to the beach. The meals offered was good but again we had to wait till just before leaving to eat because the food services are back at the rental facility. All they need to offer is a shuttle and I would not hesitate returning.
Biking the North Shore was awesome
The staff quality was absolutely great. We had a great time doing parasailing and it was wonderful that they walked us through every step especially since it was the first time we ever had done it. I recommend first timers to definitely go b/c it is a thrilling adventure.
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!
Don't really remember how high I went, but it was great. Only think I was missing was a cold drink while I was up there. The staff were great and even gave us a little dunk as they brought us in for fun. Great time for anyone and what a great view.
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
Beautiful boat and very well run. The staff was great and we got to see whales.
Guides Justin & Gabe were great. North Shore is amazing-must do if staying on Oahu. We got to see sea turtles, Waimea Falls, the Bonzai Pipeline & surfing was even an option.
Our cruise on the Makani was amazing! The crew was superb and really made us feel like one of the family. Captain Jon was highly skilled, very confident, which made us all feel very safe, which was even more important because we had small children on board. We thank the crew for their service and we will definitely return!
DID THIS OVER PRO BOWL WEEKEND....GREAT STAFF, FUN TIMES MEETING PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY & OF COURSE, A SIMPLY AWESOME EXPERIENCE 700+ FEET IN THE AIR....
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
My friend Jackie wa
Great company for a first time surfer, girls are awesome instructors who really make u feel empowered! Totally feel like I had a great surf experience.
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!
We had an awesome time. We are not the strongest swimmers, so this was a great experience. Do this! It~s so much fun!
We did the Makani Catamaran breakfast day cruise as a family and it was one of the most relaxing activities we did in Hawaii. The views were beautiful and the crew was extremely accommodating and informative when we had questions. We were there in late December so we were hoping to see whales & turtles but only saw dolphins, but the dolphins were delightful, they were spinner dolphins and they gave us a show and also swam right alongside the catamaran so we were able to see them very close up and get pictures. My kids are 15 & 20 so they also enjoyed it. There was a family with a young child and he seemed to do well, but if you have children that do not like to be somewhat contained for 2 hrs or are prone to getting out of control I would not recommend it for them. This is not a place for toddlers and small children to be running around. I would do this cruise again if we went back and I highly recommend it to others.
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。

The view of Honolulu is amazing. When you turn around, you see the sparkling ocean and horizon. It felt like a dream.
Since Ala Moana is nearby, it's a great spot to visit for a short time before or after shopping. I recommend it for couples, families, and friends alike.
ホノルルが一望できて最高です。
後ろを向けばキラキラの海と水平線。夢のようでした。
近くにアラモアナがあるので買い物前後に短時間でできるし
カップル、ファミリー、友達同士みんなにお勧めです。

This is one of the thing you must do in this life.
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。

Mike and I had a great time fishing with your company on Saturday. Jason and Nate were a very knowledgeable crew and kept the action going throughout the trip. We enjoyed eating our part of the catch the next day. I will recommend you to my friends visiting Honolulu in the future and will look forward to another fishing adventure when I return. Thanks for a good time, Mike & Mauro Serrano
I was worried about this activity, but it turned out to be a great experience. Our instructor, Johnny, was attentive, motivated and dedicated to the 3 of us that he was teaching. He kept us going for the 2 hours we were in the water, even when we felt to tired to continue.
Note: You have to be in good physical condition to undertake this activity, it is exhausting, but worth it
We had a great time on our kayak trip, however our originally scheduled trip was cancelled due to heavy rains. Unless you love lots of RAIN... do not visit Hawaii in December! My husband is not a strong swimmer, so we avoided any waves near the islands. The water was not as clear as I expected, but it was very fun, none the less!
Toby and the staff were great! Was thrilled to get up on the waves and even have pictures to prove it! Great activity!
