All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

First of all, I was impressed by the kindness of Alan1, who sent a reminder email about the meeting time and place through the hotel message counter. There were a total of 10 participants in the activity. Except for one colleague from my company, everyone else was from abroad, which made me feel even more like I was on an overseas trip.

Since I was the fourth to jump, I thought it wouldn't be scary based on the reactions of the people before me, but once I actually jumped, I could see all of Waikiki and it was simply "so refreshing!" However, perhaps because the surroundings were wide open with the ocean, even though it was an extreme ride, I didn't feel like we were 300 meters away. But the boat was small enough that I couldn't see the people on it, so we must have been quite far apart.

Finally, when I was dropped into the sea and dragged for 2 to 3 seconds before resurfacing and landing back on the boat, everyone applauded, and it was a wonderfully fun experience. I highly recommend it for those who are not afraid of heights. Also, since the boat sways quite a bit, I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who are prone to seasickness.

まずAlan1さんがホテルのメッセージカウンターを通してまで集合時間と場所の念押しメールを下さった親切さに感心させられました。
アクティビティ参加者はぜんいんで１０名。私と会社の同僚１名以外は全て外国の方だったので、海外旅行に来ていることが、より実感出来ました。
飛ぶ順番は4番目だったため先の人の反応から怖くないだろうとは思いましたが、実際飛んでみてワイキキ全体が一望出来「気持ちいい~~」の一言です。
ただ周りが海で広いせいか、エキストリームライドだったのですが300メートルも離れているとは感じませんでした。けどボートが小さく乗っている人が見えなくなるほどなので、実際離れているのでしょう。
最後に海に落とされ２~３秒引きずられた後再浮上しボートに着地したときは、みんなが拍手してくれて和気藹々で最高に楽しかったです。
高所恐怖症で無い人には超お勧めです。
またボートがかなり揺れるため船酔いする人は絶対に酔い止めの服用をお勧めします。

It was a great time --- my favorite thing we did in Hawaii!! I had parasailed before, but this was my first tandem ride. It was nice to have my husband with me to discuss the sights.

I would recommend this to first timers it was awsome the staff treated you like part of their familey

The staff was great, they explained how to stay safe and how to be comfertable very well. My family and I would definately go again!

This was probably my favorite thing I did in Hawaii. I was scared at first and made them bring me up, but I tried again and had to close my eyes as I was being lowered in the water. It was awesome once you got under water and could see all the fish. We got to feed them bread. We even saw a huge sea turtle while we were under there. It was the most unique thing I had ever done and would love to do it again. It's definitely something everyone should try and do while they're there.

This is great for people who have never scuba dived before. It is a great initial experience to being under the water. Had lots of fun!

Before heading to the sea, I was taught how to stand on the board inside the shop. The instructor taught me in broken Japanese, but once we got into the water, the instructor spoke only English except for a few phrases like "paddle," "stand," "come here," and "danger." I don't understand English at all, so even if I had questions or things I wanted to know, I couldn't get my point across, which made me anxious in the water.

I had surfed once in Japan just for fun, so I could manage somewhat without starting from scratch, but my companion was a complete beginner and not very athletic, so they struggled with paddling. I felt like we were left to fend for ourselves, and I don't think it was a very good school.

There were about four instructors in the water (with many students), and one of the Black instructors was particularly strict, to the point of being harsh. He would push his board towards students in front of him without any concern, which could have caused serious accidents.

I think it would be tough for someone with no surfing experience and no understanding of English.

海に向かう前に、店内でボードに立つ立ち方を教わりました。その先生は日本語（カタコト）で教えてくれましたが、
海に入ってからの先生は、日本語は全く理解できず、「こいで」「立って」「こっち来て」「危ない」以外は全て英語でした。
私は英語が全くダメなので、わからない事や、聞きたい事があっても理解してもらえず、海の中では不安でした。

サーフィンは日本で１回遊び程度にやった事があるので、いちから教えてもらわなくてもそれなりにできましたが、私の連れは全く初めてで運動もできる方ではなかったので、パドリングもうまくできなかったのですが、放置されたり、あまりいいスクールではないかなと思います。

海の中の先生は４人くらいいましたが（生徒はいっぱい）、そのうちの黒人の先生は特に厳しいというか、ひどかったです。前に生徒がいるのにそこに向かって平気でボードを押されたりして、ぶつかったら一大事なのに。。。

サーフィンの経験が全くなく、英語も全くわからない方は厳しいと思います。

I thought it would be scary, but when I actually went up in the air, I was moved by the beauty of the surrounding scenery. Even though the wind was strong, there was hardly any shaking, and I regretted not bringing my camera.

While I was up there, a rainbow appeared, which made the experience even more amazing. I think it lasted less than 10 minutes, but I was completely satisfied. I felt like I wanted to try it again and again. The staff only spoke English, but they were bold and fun people. Those who can't speak any English might feel anxious, but I think as long as you understand some words, you'll have no problem enjoying it.

I highly recommend it!

怖そうだと思っていましたが、実際上空へ行くと周りの景色のすばらしさに感動。風が強くても揺れはほとんど無く、カメラを持っていかなかったことを後悔したほどです。
上空にいた際、ちょうど虹が出ていて感動倍増。10分も無かったと思いますが、大満足。何回でもトライしたい気分でした。　スタッフも英語しか話せませんが、豪快で楽しい人達。英語がまったく出来ない人は不安かもしれませんが、単語さえ理解できれば問題なく楽しめると思います。
超　お勧めです。

I love parasailing, so whenever I go to a resort abroad, I always do it. The extreme height is quite impressive. Flying over the ocean while feeling the wind is the best! It feels amazing! The view of Honolulu is also great. Towards the end, you splash down into the water up to your waist. Overall, it was so much fun!

However, since most of the instructions were in English, I was a bit confused about which car to take on the way back.

パラセイリングは大好きなので、海外のリゾート地に行くと必ずやってます。
エキストリームはかなりの高さです。
海の上を風を受けながら飛ぶのは最高！
気持ちいい！
ホノルルの景色もいいし。
最後の方で、腰ぐらいまでジャッポーンと着水します。
とにかく楽しかったです！

ただ、ほとんど英語なので帰りの車どれに乗っていいのか戸惑ってしまいました。

We went parasailing for our honeymoon with my husband for the first time! Everyone else participating was a foreigner, but they all friendly talked to us and we took pictures of each other. Most of the explanations were in English, but important points were explained with gestures and in Japanese. The instructor was also very lively, shaking the ropes and playfully dropping us into the sea, which made it a lot of fun. Since it was our honeymoon, the instructor kindly celebrated with everyone at the end.

I was a bit confused about where to go before and after the ride, but there was a natural flow, so I just followed everyone.

There was no waiting time, and the view of the sea and Diamond Head from above is a must-see!

新婚旅行で旦那ｻﾝと初のパラセイリング☆
参加してる人は私達以外みんな外国人でしたが、
みんなフレンドリーに話しかけてくれてお互い写真を
撮り合ったりしました。
ほとんど英語の説明ですが、大事なところはジェスチャーや
日本語で説明してくれます。
インストラクターの方もノリがよくロープを揺らしたり
海に少し落とされたりすごく楽しめました。
ハネームーンと言う事でインストラクターの心遣いで
最後にみんなにお祝いして頂きました。

乗る前と帰りがどこに行ったらいいのか迷いましたが、
なんとなく流れがあるので、みんなに付いて行きました。。

待ち時間もなくスムーズで上空からみる海やダイヤモンドヘッドは必見です！！

I participated with my husband on our honeymoon. It was our first time doing parasailing together, and we were really looking forward to it. The weather on the day was perfect, truly ideal for parasailing! The view from the sky was wonderful and felt great. The staff were very friendly, and we had a fun time. I highly recommend it.

新婚旅行で旦那と参加してきました。二人で一緒にできるパラセイリングは初めてでとても楽しみにしていました。
当日はとても天気が良くまさにパラセイリング日和！空からの景色はとても素敵で気持ち良かったです。
スタッフの方もとても感じの良い方で楽しいひと時を過ごすことができました。オススメです。

Very fun activity when water is clear and the sun is shining :)

We gathered at the school office and practiced how to stand on a surfboard. After that, we each took two surfboards and walked across the street to the beach, immediately getting into the water and following the instructor. As someone who doesn't exercise much, I was already exhausted by this point. I desperately followed the instructor's commands of "Paddle!" and "Stand up!" By the end of the day, all participants were able to stand on their boards. It felt truly refreshing to glide through the wind. I'm really glad I participated. One downside was that the ocean floor was covered in rocks and corals. When I got back to the hotel and looked at my feet, I found many scrapes and was bleeding. (laughs) I think it would be good to take some precautions for that.

スクール事務所に集合して、簡単にサーフボードの上にどうやって立つのかを練習後、二人で2枚づつサーフボードを持って道を渡ってビーチまで歩き、即水に入って先生の後についてこいでいきます。運動不足の私はこのあたりで既にへとへとでした。先生の「こいで！」「立って！」の声にあわせて、後は必死。その日の参加者はすぐに全員板の上に立つことができました。風を切って進むときは本当に爽快です。本当に参加してよかったです。一つだけ、難点は、海の底が岩？サンゴ？だらけでした。ホテルに帰って足を見たらたくさんの擦り傷から流血していました。（笑）何か対策をしてゆくと良いと思います。

Staff is AWESOME and VERY helpful in getting you what you need and want. Lunch was ok. Choice of 2 different places to choose meal. Would do it again.

Parasailing was something I absolutely wanted to try in Hawaii. I was a bit anxious about the fact that everything was in English, but the driver, the instructor (everyone was handsome!), and the ticket booth staff were all very kind, so there were no problems at all. My father (68), who had signed up as an observer, suddenly decided he wanted to participate on-site, so he signed up on the day with his limited English. He was able to join after paying the difference, and off we went to the sea! Everyone else was foreign couples, but the atmosphere was great, and I felt no tension at all. It seems we were set to a height one level above standard, but there was no sense of fear, and we enjoyed the amazing view. Even at my father's age, he could participate and have fun. In the end, we took a great photo with the instructor! We also had photos taken for an additional fee, but since the boat was swaying, I think they turned out better than what we could have taken ourselves. Next time, I’ll challenge myself to go even higher!

ハワイで絶対にやってみたかったパラセイル。英語のみというのが少し不安でしたが、ドライバーさんもインストラクターさん（みんなイケメン！）もチケット売り場の人たちもみんな親切で、全く問題ありませんでした。見学者で申し込みをしていた父（68）が、現地でやっぱり参加したいと言い出したので、つたない英語で当日申し込み。差額の支払いで参加でき、いざ、海へ！私たち以外はみな外国人のカップルでしたが、とてもいい雰囲気で、緊張も全くしませんでした。私たちだけスタンダードより一つ上の高さにしていたらしいのですが、恐怖感は全くなく、最高の眺めを満喫しました。父の年齢でも十分参加できますし、楽しめます。最後はばっちり、インストラクターさんと写真を撮りました♪別料金で写真も撮ってもらいましたが、船が揺れているので、自分たちで撮るよりきれいに撮れるのではないかと思います。次はもっと上まで挑戦します！

Our 17, 15, and 12 year old all had a great experience. All of them got up several times and are very glad they did it. Two of the kids wore short sleeve shirts and wish they wore long sleeve as they both had quite a rash on the arm from rubbing against the board.

We found the experience to be wonderful! The staff was fun and very friendly and we loved the pictures that they took for us. The parasailing itself was a once in a lifetime experience that I will always remember. I will definetly recommend this to anyone I know coming to Hawaii!

I spent a meaningful time from the morning until early afternoon. The weather was somewhat cloudy, so both the water temperature and the wind were a bit chilly.

I participated last October, and I think it's better to bring a long-sleeved jacket when it's cloudy.

There were quite a few waves, and I enjoyed bodyboarding. The staff provided thorough explanations, and lunch was included, so I was very satisfied.

午前中から昼過ぎまでの時間でしたが、有意義に過ごせました。天候は曇り気味だったので、水温・風共に若干冷たかったです。

去年の１０月に参加しましたが、曇っている時は上着の長袖を持っていったほうがいいと思います。

波がけっこうあって、ボディーボードを楽しみました。
スタッフの方の説明もきちんとあったし、昼食もついていたので大満足です。

I was so nervous before embarking on my parasailing adventure, but the friendly staff made me feel at ease and the experience was so much more than I could have asked for. Being in the air over the open sea with a full view of the island was so serene. I look forward to doing it again, next time I'm on the island!

the kayaking excursion was awesome. i got to learn a lot about the native birds and animals of hawaii plus the scenery was beautiful!

This experience was sooo much fun. Our guides dipped us in the water and also slid us across the water which was really cool. The staff was excellent, but I only wish they let us go up higher and for longer because we were only up in the air for about 5 min. But other than that, it was really fun and highly recommended.

Parasailing is fun. x-treme parasailing was not worth the added expense. We saw no difference in the duration of the ride. In fact other riders who did not pay for extreme were given equal and/or better experiences. (ie..same duration and being dunked, also boat pulling them). Honestly, we felt a bit cattled through the process. Would parasail again, but not the x-treme parasailing. Save the added money for something else!

I have been to many exotic places in the carribbean and took part in jet skiing there. In other places (mexico,barbados,st. thomas, bahamas,puerto rico) you rent the jet ski on your own and go where you want which is pretty cool. Here at sea breeze it's a little more controlled which is good as well. Sea breeze staff were awesome and works hard. They are all about safety because you have to watch a safety video. The activities are more controlled because when you jet ski, you have to go around in a circle in a somewhat controlled area. They also take pics of you on a chip that they download on their computer later for your purchase of $30 so take extra money because the pics are way cool.
AS for the parasailing, awesome. That was my first time as well as my wife. They dip you in the water which was a great experience and the views are out of this world. Well worth the money spent. Keep this in mind, when you go on vacation I understand families have a budget but expect to sp

Greetings from California!

Parasailing for the first time was amazing! My friend Jasmine and I didn't know what to expect and we were definately pleased with our parasailing adventure, friendliness of the staff, and overall experience! The motion of the ocean unfortunately did get to Jasmine, so here's some advice to those who get motion sickness - bring the Dramamine! Other than that, no complaints from us! We highly recommend X-treme parasailing!!!

Great time. Staff very friendly

This was a great activity and would recommend it for anyone traveling to Oahu.

Flying at 850+ feet I saw alot that many people don't see. It was a beutiful view!!

We really enjoyed this parasailing trip. It was so exciting and the crew was wonderful. We would do it again in a heartbeat. Our youngest is 12 years old and he had a great time. 9 of us went for just over 300 dollars. The time we each spent in the air was amazing. We felt like we got our money's worth!

Overall this was a fun activity, the kids loved it. Ride was kinda short compared to the cost, especially when you factor in the fact that you are charged individually but they fly you in pairs.
The crew did everything they could to make sure that we were enjoying ourselves.

Great experience. Friendly staff, great for people who like to spend the day exploring and relaxing outdoors. Kailua & Lanikai are great for relaxing on the beach, snorkelling & kayaking and isn't overly crowded. After spending the day at the beach, come back and get sweets & shave ice at the next door eateries and enjoy the ride back to Waikiki.
