ハワイでパラセーリング 高さ120m/150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞!<ヒルトン・ワイキキ>
I'm glad I tried it.
やってみて良かったです。
Activity Date: 2023/08/31 | Posted on: 2023/09/04

I participated with my daughter (18 years old). Since I'm not very comfortable with heights, we chose the 120m course. On the day of the tour, it was quite windy, and we were informed that the captain would decide whether to proceed, but we set sail safely, and all 13 participants enjoyed parasailing.

As mentioned in other reviews, there was some swaying (the boat was just the right size for the 13 participants that day; I think it could hold a bit more). I took motion sickness medication, but my daughter seemed to feel a bit seasick. I was fine, so I think it depends on the day's conditions.

The staff noticed my daughter's condition and flexibly changed her turn to an earlier time, allowing her to soar into the blue sky and enjoy the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. Other participants were also concerned about her, which was very helpful.

I purchased the photos taken by the staff for $40. They transferred the data to my iPhone and provided an SD card. Since the photos were taken from below, opinions on how they turned out may vary, but as they are digital, it's easy to enlarge and check them, and I think they make a nice keepsake. It seemed that other participants chose the 150m option, but even at 120m, there is a decent height, and I believe those who are hesitant can still enjoy this experience. My wife and son did not participate this time, but if they are interested, I would like to join again next time.

本人(50代)と娘(18才)の2名で参加しました。
あまり高いところは得意ではないので、120mのコースを選択しました。
当日は風が強く、ツアーの実施はキャプテンの判断との説明を受けましたが、無事に出航して、参加者13人全員がパラセーリングを楽しんでいます。
他の方のレビューにも書かれていますが、それなりに揺れがあります。(ボートは当日の13人で丁度くらいの大きさです。もう少しは乗れると思いますが。)酔い止め薬を飲み参加しましたが、娘は少し船酔いした様子でした。わたしは大丈夫だったので、その日のコンディションもあると思います。
スタッフの方が娘の様子を見て、臨機応変に早めの順番に変更してくれたので、娘も青空に舞い上がり、海から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの風景を楽しむことができました。他の参加者の方も娘の様子を気にかけてくださり、助かりました。
スタッフの方が撮影してくれた写真は40$で購入しました。iPhoneへのデータ転送とSDカードが貰えます。写真は下から撮影されるので、撮れ方は賛否あると思いますが、デジタルデータなので拡大して確認することは容易ですし、良い記念なったと思っています。他の参加者は150mを選択されていたようですが、120mでもそこそこ高さがあり、尻込みされている方はこちらでも楽しめると思うので、参加されたら良いと思います。妻と息子が今回不参加だったので、次回、希望があれば、また参加したいと思います。

サンドバーツアー
Activity Date: 2023/09/01 | Posted on: 2023/09/03

I was able to make a reservation the day before, and the pickup location and time were emailed to me right away, which was reassuring. I had heard that there could be trouble if you don't know the meeting place, but it was clear at the ABC Store, so there were no issues.

About 30 of us boarded the bus, and we left Waikiki, arriving at the pier in 45 minutes. There, a Japanese staff member joined us and provided a helpful explanation in advance. On the boat, we also enjoyed live music.

The activities included snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding, and I was satisfied to have about two hours to use freely. However, since it was "do as you please," beginners should learn how to do each activity in advance.

About a quarter of the participants were Japanese. The staff were all friendly, and it was a fulfilling experience without any feelings of loneliness. I highly recommend it.

前日に予約がとれましたが、ピックアップの場所と時間は直ぐにメールされたので安心。待ち合わせの場所がわからずトラブルになるケースかあると聞いていましたが、ABCストア前でお店のナンバーが明快だったのでトラブルなし。
30人くらいでバスに乗り合わせ、ワイキキを出発して45分で埠頭に。そこで日本人スタッフがついて事前に説明していただいて助かりました。船中では弾き語りも楽しめました。
アクティビティはシュノーケリング、カヤック、SUPの3種類で、約2時間自由に使えたのは満足でした。ただ、お好きにどうぞ、なので初心者の方はそれぞれ事前にやり方を学んでおいた方がよいです。
日本人は1/4くらい。スタッフは皆さんフレンドリーで孤独感もなく充実したアクティビティでした。オススメです。

ワイキキビーチ SUP 1時間プライベートレッスン <ロイヤルハワイアンホテル>
Stand Up Paddleboarding in Waikiki
ワイキキでSUP
Activity Date: 2023/08/12 | Posted on: 2023/09/03

I was thrilled to be able to do SUP for the first time in my dream destination, Waikiki. The location was excellent, and it was just a short walk from the neighboring Sheraton.

My family and I had a private lesson for two, and we started by learning how to stand and paddle easily on land before heading straight to the ocean. We practiced standing up and paddling alternately.

Since we didn't wear life vests, it was surprisingly tough to swim back up every time we fell in. After a few tries, we were able to stand up, and the instructor ended up paddling off on his own. (laughs)

In the end, it was a 60-minute lesson, but I reached my physical limit after about 45 minutes and ended up sitting on the board, drifting with the waves.

憧れのワイキキで初めてのSUPができて感激でした。とにかく立地がよく、となりのシェラトンからも歩いてすぐなのがよかったです。
家族と2名でプライベートレッスンでしたが、最初は陸で簡単に立ち方や漕ぎ方を習い、すぐに海へ。
2人交互に立ち上がり漕ぐ練習をします。
ライフベストは着用しないので、落水する度に泳いで這い上がるのが意外としんどく、何度かそれぞれ立てるようになるとインストラクターの方も勝手にスイスイ漕いでどっか行ってしまいました。笑
結局60分のレッスンでしたが45分くらいで体力は限界に。板に座って波を漂ってました。

Thank you for the 4-star review, Kunio. The life vest can be cumbersome while paddling and makes it even more difficult to climb back onto the board from the water. Sitting on the board and paddling through the waves is also great practice. We look forward to your next visit.

くにお様:
4つ星の口コミありがとうございます。ライフベストはパドルする時に邪魔になり、水からボードに這い上がる時にさらに難しくなります。
板に座って波を漕ぐのもとても良い練習になります。またのお越しをお待ちしております。

海が青い!ワイキキが一望に
Activity Date: 2023/08/18 | Posted on: 2023/09/02

I participated with my 9-year-old son on August 18. Before making a reservation, I looked at the reviews and saw mostly negative comments, which made me hesitant, but we had a great time.

There was a small note on the boat suggesting tips, but there was no pressure to give them at all. We participated as a group of four, and no one paid tips. Regarding photos, they asked if we wanted to take some, and when I declined, they responded with a smile and said, "Don't worry."

The view over 100 meters is beyond words! The waves weren't high, and I didn't feel seasick. The staff primarily spoke English, but one of the assistants seemed to speak broken Japanese.

I came across some reviews that seemed a bit shady, but the girl at the reception was friendly and even gave us water.

Good experience!! Enjoy Waikiki!

8/18に9歳の息子と参加しました。
予約する前に口コミをみたら、ネガティブな投稿ばかりで、迷ってましたが、普通に楽しめました。

チップについては、ほしいな的な落書きが船内に小さく書いてありましたが、要求されることはまったくないありませんでした。実際に4ペアでの参加でしたが誰も払っていませんでした。写真についても撮るか?と事前確認があり、断りましたが、dont worry.と笑顔でやり取りしました。

100メートルオーバーの景観は筆舌に尽くしがたいです!波も高くなく、酔うこともありませんでした。基本的に英語のみですが、助手の人はカタコト日本語ができるようでした。
何となく悪徳っぽい口コミ見かけますが、受付の女子も感じよく、水もくれました。

good experience!!

Awesome as always

The only other ways to get to this beautiful gem is to rent a kayak and row your way here (appx 45mins each way, with no wind) or with another tour boat company. In Hawaii, the only way to a private boat is if you know someone who owns a boat, or if you are military (where you can rent the boat, but in Honolulu area).
I always enjoyed the going out to Kaneohe Bay with OSA.

I was very excited about this adventure and can say it was my absolute favorite excursion on our 2wk vacation. My family also agrees.
The ride out to the sandbar was so lovely and relaxing with the live music. All of the staff was so friendly and check in and boarding went smoothly. The views from the sandbar were spectacular! We spent our time snorkeling, paddleboarding and soaking in the views. The live music playing from the boat really set the aloha mood. We would definitely book this excursion again!

I am very satisfied.
大満足です
Activity Date: 2023/07/30 | Posted on: 2023/09/01

I participated with my daughter. While on the boat heading out, we were told we were too light, which made us anxious, but another mom who was with us agreed to jump together, so we were able to experience it safely. That mom was able to jump twice, once with her family and once with us, so we are very grateful for her help, but I don't think we did anything wrong, haha. If you're told you're too light, I think it's okay to ask someone else on board, "Could someone jump with me?"

We flew high right away, and it was fun without any scary shaking. The flight time was satisfying.

The meeting point is at the JTB HiBus bus stop. After getting off at Discovery Bay, head towards the sea, and once you reach the water, turn left towards the Hilton Lagoon.

Whether or not to take photos will be confirmed when you jump. For iPhone users, you can use AirDrop, and for Android users, it was $40 to purchase the SD card. Card payments are accepted.

母娘で参加しました。沖に向かうボート内で、二人は軽すぎて駄目だと言われて焦りましたが、乗り合わせた他のママが一緒に飛んでくれることになって、無事に体験できました。そのママも自分の家族とうちの回とで2回飛べたので、こちらとしては名乗り上げてくれて大感謝ですが、悪いことをしたわけでもないと思いますw 軽すぎて駄目と言われたら、乗り合わせた人に「誰か一緒に飛んでください」とお願いしてもいいと思います。
すぐに高く飛び、特に揺れるような怖さもなく楽しかったです。飛行時間は満足できました。
集合場所は、JTBのHiBusのバス停 ディスカバリー・ベイで降りたら、海に向かい、海に着いたら左に曲がったヒルトン・ラグーンの前あたりです。
写真撮影するかどうかは飛ぶ時に確認されます。iPhoneだとAirDrop渡し、AndroidだとSDカードごと購入で40ドルでした。カード払いOK。

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports
Excellent experience
Activity Date: 2023/08/24 | Posted on: 2023/08/31

I enjoyed every aspect of this excursion, from the moment i was picked up from the pick up spot in Waikiki, to the excursion itself, and to the return back to Waikiki. The banana tubing and regular tubing was a lot of fun, i do find myself as a snorkeling junkie, so I mostly snorkeled the entire time. I saw some amazing fish in the reef. I felt very safe all day. My friend did the kayaking and SUPing and enjoyed their time. The musicians were amazing. I would like to thank everyone for such a great experience.

Participated with 2 adults and 2 teens. We chose all included package with banana boat and bumper boat for the teens. They enjoyed the rides very much! Snorkeling was amazing, the area was shallow with reef areas. The water was so clear, we could see many fish easily. Tried kayak and SUP and both were so fun even for us as beginners. Music was amazing, staff was super kind and welcoming. If we had more days, we wanted to do it again!

Best tour in Oahu

There are similar tours available but this is the best tour by far! We chose the morning tour. Donuts (2-3 different types), orange juice and water were provided in a boat while going to Sandbar. Probably it took about 10-15 minutes to get there. 2 staff played live music and sang variety of songs. It was beautiful and they are great singers! In the boat, there are a few bathrooms for women and I believe one bathroom for men. Life vest is available for everyone. You can bring your own beverage including alcohol. You can do some water activities or relax in the boat. Snorkeling gear is available for free, kayak and SUP are also available though you may need to wait for your turn if they are occupied. Just being in the water (we went there at high tide and the water was close to my neck and I’m 5’4”) was relaxing since the water was so warm and clear. If you have small children, you may want to choose low tide timing unless your kids are comfortable with deeper water. There was no wave (very gentle water movement). I strongly recommend this tour to everyone. This tour provides something for everyone to have fun!

This was our 2nd time. We did this tour last summer and it was so good that we came back again this summer! We’re 2 adults and 2 teens. Just like last year, this tour was the best highlight of our Hawaii trip. Tour staff are super friendly and funny and play/sing beautiful live music. We did kayak, teens did banana boat and bumpy boat. Snorkeling was awesome. The water is so clear that we could see sea creatures so close and clearly. Snorkeling gear was provided. It was so much fun and relaxing seeing the amazing ocean views. I wish the tour was longer! Felt like it ended too soon, I know that’s because we had a wonderful time. We will definitely do this tour again when we go back to Hawaii. Thank you for offering this amazing tour at reasonable price. We could make unforgettable family memories. Mahalo!!

Thank you for the hospitality & helping our fam out on the bay! From lifeguarding while we snorkeled to helping with the SUP’s! We were surprised at the attentiveness of the staff! Definitely suggest packing snacks & BYOB! The donuts going out was not enough… as my kids were hungry after all activities.Boat had changing stalls & bathrooms… and live entertainment! Defitnitely recommend adding the banana boat/bumper tubes! Was so worth our experience!

The pleasant sea breeze was the best!
気持ちの良い海風最高でした!
Activity Date: 2023/08/27 | Posted on: 2023/08/31

The personalities of the two were wonderful, and the pleasant sea breeze and beer were the best! Just before reaching Diamond Head, it started to rain and got cold, so we had to turn back unexpectedly, but since the weather is beyond our control, it doesn't affect my evaluation at all. If you're worried, it might be a good idea to bring a sports towel or a hooded rash guard.

More than that, the view of the ocean from the boat, the changing colors of the sea as we went further out, the flying fish jumping around, the blue sky, and above all, the fun atmosphere on the boat made for an incredibly enjoyable experience for both my daughter and me. It truly became a great memory. I think the cost-performance is also very good. I highly recommend it!

お二人の人柄も、気持ちの良い海風とビール、最高でした!ダイヤモンドヘッドに着く手前で雨が降り出して寒く、急遽引き返してやり過ごすことになりましたが、天気はどうしようもないので、全く評価の対象外です。心配な方は、スポーツタオルやフード付きのラッシュガードのようなものを持参されるとよいかもしれません。
それより船から見る沖の景色や沖に出る程に変わる海の色、周りで飛び跳ねる飛び魚、青い空、何より船上の楽しい雰囲気で娘も私も最高に楽しく本当に良い思い出になりました。コスパもとても良いと思います。お勧めです!

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー 貸切プランあり<半日/水中写真付き>
Hanauma Bay has become more challenging.
ハードルが高くなったハナウマ湾
Activity Date: 2023/08/25 | Posted on: 2023/08/31

Hanauma Bay, which has a reservation system and entry restrictions, was a great experience. To ensure we could enter, we asked a guide for assistance this time. With transportation included, we were able to complete our activities in the morning, allowing us to schedule other plans for the afternoon, which is a big plus. Since snorkeling in an unfamiliar sea can be concerning due to currents, having an experienced guide made it easy to focus solely on watching the fish. The guide is also fluent in Japanese, so everyone can feel at ease. They took photos during our snorkeling session, which they later uploaded to Facebook for us.

予約制で入場制限も出来たハナウマ湾。確実に入場できるように今回はガイドさんにお願いしました。送迎付きで無駄なくアクティビティの時間も午前中で完了しますので、半日は別の予定を入れる事ができるのも大きな魅力です。知らない海でのシュノーケリングですので、個人で行くと潮流等が不安ですが、慣れたガイドさんが居るので安心して魚を見る事だけに集中する事ができました。ガイドさんは日本語も堪能ですので皆さん安心できると思います。
シュノーケリング中に写真を撮ってくれて、後日facebookにアップして貰えますよ。

ハンズ・ヒーデマン サーフィンレッスン
It became a good memory. I participated alone. Just be careful of sunburn.
よい思い出出になりました。一人で参加。 ただ、日焼けに注意。
Activity Date: 2023/08/23 | Posted on: 2023/08/30

I’m in my forties, but I was able to surf both enjoyably and rigorously.

I participated alone, and I was the only Japanese person there. During my time, there was no support in Japanese at all. That said, there isn’t much difficult English, so I don’t think a high level of English is necessary. However, if you can’t speak any English at all or feel anxious about it, I think it would be safer to go with another company.

There was one instructor for two of us. The other person was a large Western man, but he dropped out early and went home, so it was essentially a one-on-one experience.

The instructor was strict. It might not be suitable for those who prefer a slow, hands-on, and gentle teaching style, but I think it’s great for those who want to dive right in and go for it! I had a lot of fun trying multiple times.

However, you will get quite sunburned! Lying face down on the surfboard waiting for waves left my calves and the back of my thighs bright red, almost like a mild burn. I regretted not wearing my long pants rash guard that I had with me. You really do get burned. That’s the only thing to watch out for.

Also, if you are prone to motion sickness, I think it’s better to take some anti-nausea medication. I heard someone say they felt sick.

アラフォーですが、楽しく、厳しくサーフィンできました。

一人で参加したのですが、日本人は私一人でした。
私の時は日本語のサポートは一切ありませんでした。
とはいえ難しい英語はあまりないのでそこまで英語力は必要ないと思います。しかし、英語が全くできない、不安がある方は別の会社が安心だと思います。

二人に先生が一人付いてくれました。もう一人の人は欧米人の大きい男性だったのですが、早々に脱落し帰ってしまったので実質マンツーマンでした。

先生はスパルタでした。ゆっくり手取り足取り丁寧に教えてほしい人には不向きかもしれませんが、折角なのでガンガンやりたい!という人には向いてると思います。私は何度もトライできて楽しかったです。

ただ、かなり日焼けします!
サーフボードにうつぶせになって波を待つのでふくらはぎと裏の太ももが真っ赤になり、軽いやけどのようになりました。長ズボンのラッシュガードを持っていたので履けばよかったと後悔しました。
本当に焼けます。これだけが注意です。

あと酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだほうがいいと思います。

I challenged myself with my 3rd-grade daughter and my husband to a 150m adventure. The boat ride was fast and thrilling, and the parasailing took us up to a height close to the highest point, allowing us to enjoy a panoramic view of Waikiki. We really felt the essence of Hawaii.

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 like the feeling of freedom.
自由な感じがいい
Activity Date: 2023/08/25 | Posted on: 2023/08/29

I had been to Kailua before, but my wife wanted to visit a specific store, and we could also go to Whole Foods, plus we could snorkel at Lanikai, so I decided to join. We opted for bike rentals. Riding through the streets of Kailua on a bicycle felt very local and was great. I was able to take my time and enjoy the scenery that I would have missed if I were in a car. It was my first time snorkeling at Lanikai, and to my surprise, a sea turtle appeared right in front of me! I've seen sea turtles many times, but seeing one so close and in the water was an incredible experience. The only downside was the lack of shade; if you go, I recommend bringing a tent or an umbrella. Also, the snorkeling goggles weren't treated with anti-fog, so they fogged up quickly, and seawater kept getting in, so I would like to suggest improvements on that.

カイルアの街は初めてではなかったけど、妻が行きたい店があったし、ホールフーズにも行けるし、ラニカイでシュノーケルができるので参加しました。オプションはレンタサイクルにしました。カイルアの街を自転車で走るのは地元感があって良かった。車だと通り過ぎてしまう景色をゆっくりと見れました。初めてラニカイでシュノーケルをしましたが、なんとウミガメが目の前に!ウミガメは何度も見たことがありますが、こんな近くでそれも海の中で見れるなんて感度でした。ただ日陰がないのが残念、行く場合はテントかパラソルを持って行くのが良いかと。あとシュノーケルのメガネがくもりどめが塗ってないのかすぐに曇るのと、海水がすぐに入ってくるので改善をお願いしたい。

Aloha!

Thank you for joining the tour and for your review. Many people miss the chance to see sea turtles while snorkeling at Lanikai, so it was a great stroke of luck that you got to see one.

When you come back to Hawaii, please be sure to visit Kailua and Lanikai again. We look forward to welcoming you!

ツアーにご参加及びレビューのご記入ありがとうございました。
ラニカイでのシュノーケルでは、ウミガメに会えない方が多いので、会えたのは、すごくラッキーです。
またハワイにお越しの際は、是非ともカイルア・ラニカイに遊びにいらしてください。
お待ちしております。

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports
Want to try it again
Activity Date: 2023/08/24 | Posted on: 2023/08/27

The crew and experience was great. The organization of the trip was well done. My child often gets motion sickness and the ship was so smooth they didn't even feel a thing. The activities were fun, first time paddleboarding and we had a blast.

The musicians were wonderful and entertaining. Loved the hawaiian music along with contemporary songs.

The only thing that made it less of a 5 star, was something the crew could not control. We should have checked the timing of the tides. We were expecting to be walking on sand in the middle of the ocean, but I suspect we picked a day where it was hightide, so we never "walked" on the sand, we were swimming the entire time.

ハンズ・ヒーデマン サーフィンレッスン
Two beginner guys were able to ride the waves for an incredibly long time!
初心者男子二人、ものすごく長く波に乗れました!
Activity Date: 2023/08/25 | Posted on: 2023/08/27

As a 50-year-old man, I unfortunately couldn't surf due to back pain. My two sons, a college student and a high school student, participated in a group lesson. The college student had only tried surfing once about six years ago, while this was the high school student's third experience.

First, they showed a video in the shop and explained the basics before heading to the beach, which was educational and great! Once we got to the beach, they taught us how to stand on the board and we quickly went into the sea!

As we paddled out, the instructor suddenly pushed the board towards the shore and shouted, "Paddle!" and just like that, we were surfing! Wow! I managed to stand up and rode for over 100 meters from the open sea to the shore.

After that, my sons and another participant took turns catching waves, and everyone was able to ride for a long time! However, I later heard that because the rides were long, paddling back to shore multiple times was really tough for them!

I had also requested drone footage, so they took over 150 photos and 11 videos of the two of them. The drone video was high resolution and very beautiful. It was a bit expensive, but I was satisfied.

Next time we come, I hope to receive a higher level of instruction!

50男の私は残念ながら腰痛発症でサーフィンできず。息子達二人、大学生と高校生でグループレッスンに参加しました。大学生は6年ほど前に一度体験サーフィンのみ、高校生は今回が3回目の体験サーフィン。
まず初めにショップ内でビデオを見せてくれて、基本的なことを説明受けてから浜辺に出るのが教育的で良いですね!
浜に出るとボードを使って立ち方を教えてくれてすぐに海へ!
パドリングで沖へ出ると、すぐに先生が岸に向かってボードを押し「パドリング!」っていきなり波乗り!
あら!立てた!いきなり沖から岸まで100m以上乗れました。
その後も他の参加者一人と息子達の3人で次々に波に乗り、皆、ながーく乗れました!
しかし後で聞いたら一回の乗れる距離が長いので、岸から沖まで何回もパドリングで戻るのがとても辛かったと!
ドローンの撮影も頼んでおいたので、二人で150枚以上の写真と11個のビデオを撮影してもらえました。ドローンのピデオは高解像度でとてもキレイ。ちょっと高かったけど満足しました。
次に来たら、もう一段階上の指導をして

ハワイでパラセーリング 高さ120m/150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞!<ヒルトン・ワイキキ>
I had an amazing time.
すっごい楽しかった
Activity Date: 2023/08/05 | Posted on: 2023/08/27

I was a bit scared because I'm not good with roller coasters, but it didn't feel like I was floating like on a roller coaster. I could see Waikiki from the air, and it was very pleasant and fun!!

There were four of us, two Japanese girls in their twenties, and a family of five foreigners. The Japanese girls suggested, "Shall we take photos together?" so instead of buying photos, we exchanged them via AirDrop after parasailing.

We were making a lot of noise and having fun, so maybe that's why we got dropped into the sea?! But the others landed safely on the boat (getting dropped was also incredibly fun). The captain and crew were very cheerful and nice, and we had a valuable and enjoyable experience.

We did this on August 5th, and the weather was good with not much wind, so it felt nice. However, the boat rocked while we were on it, and it seems that on windy days, it can rock in the air too, so I think it would be a good idea to take motion sickness medication for peace of mind.

Everyone gives tips before getting off, so we gave a tip of $10 per person. I think it's good to prepare a towel in case you get dropped, along with a camera and some cash.

If you're hesitating, I definitely recommend trying it out!!

私はジェットコースターが苦手なので少し怖いなと思っていたのですが、ジェットコースターみたいにフワッと体が浮くような事もなく、空中からワイキキを見渡せ、とても気持ちいいし楽しかったです!!

私達4人と日本人の20代女の子2人と外国人家族5人でした。日本人の女の子達が「写真を撮りあいっこしませんか?」と声をかけてくれたので、写真は買わずにパラセイリングが終わった後、エアドロで交換しました。

私達はキャーキャー騒いでクルーやキャプテンにも声をかけて楽しそうにしていたせいか⁈海に落とされましたが、他の人達は落とされずにボートに着地していました(落とされたのもめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです)
キャプテンもクルーもとても明るくてイイ人だったし、貴重な楽しい体験ができました。

8/5にしましたが、天気も良く風もあまりなかったので気持ち良かったけれど、ボートに乗っている間揺れるし、風が強い日は上空でも揺れるみたいなので酔い止めの薬を飲んでおいたら安心だと思います。

みんな降りる前にチップを渡すので、私達は一人10ドルのチップを渡しました。カメラと少しの現金と落とされた時の為にバスタオルを用意しておいたらいいと思います。

迷っている方は是非体験して欲しいです!!

I planned my day starting in the morning. We gathered at Ross Dress for Less at 8 AM. There were other buses for different tours, so I got a bit confused, but I was able to board without any issues. After passing a few more stops, we rode the bus for about 30 minutes to the sandbar's boat dock.

When we arrived, we had to fill out a consent form, but there were Japanese staff there, so it was fine to do it in Japanese. The explanations were also in Japanese, allowing us to smoothly board the boat.

Inside the boat, we had assigned seats, which was reassuring.

On the boat, we could help ourselves to donuts and drinks.

At the sandbar, in addition to snorkeling, we could also enjoy boating and stand-up paddleboarding. Since it was shallow, we could relax and have fun without worry.

We had about two hours to play, so we had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves.

I recommend this experience because you can enjoy various activities for this price.

By the way, we returned to Waikiki around 12:30 PM.

朝からのプランにしました。
8時にROSS FOR LESSに集合でした。このツアー以外のバスも止まってたので、少し迷いましたが、無事乗ることができました。他にもいくつか停留場所を通り、30分くらいバスに揺られ、サンドバーの船乗り場へ。

着いたら、承諾書を書かないといけないのですが、ここでは日本の方がいたので日本語で大丈夫でした。説明も日本語で、スムーズに船に乗ることができました。

船の中では、席が決まっているので、安心でした。

船の中では、ドーナツとドリンクをセルフサービスでもらうことができました。

サンドバーでは、シュノーケリング以外に、ボートやサップもできました。足がつくところなので、安心して楽しむことができました。


遊ぶ時間も2時間はあったのでたっぷり遊べました。

この値段で、色んなことが楽しめるのでおすすめです。

ちなみにワイキキに帰ってきたら12時半ごろでした。

I experienced surfing with three children and five people. It was a lot of fun. The three sessions of surfing ended in the blink of an eye, so I wish we could have done five.

子供3人と5人で体験しました。とても楽しい波乗りでした。3回の波乗りは、あっと言う間に終わったので、5回乗れたら良かったと思う。

Dear Hinomama,

I'm glad to hear that you and your family enjoyed your time together. How about trying a one-hour charter next time? You can ride the waves as many times as you like during that hour. We look forward to your next visit!

ひのまま様: ご家族でご一緒に楽しんで頂いたようでなによりです。次回は1時間のチャーターをご利用してみたらいかがでしょうか?1時間の間に何度でも波に乗ることが出来ます。またのお越しをお待ちしております!

It goes higher than I imagined. I think the time spent in the air was less than 10 minutes, but it was just right.

The boat sways quite a bit, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to seasickness.

想像していた以上に高いところまで登っていきます。上空での滞在時間は10分もないくらいだったと思いますが、むしろちょうどよかったです。

船はかなり揺れるので、船酔いする方は酔い止め内服をお勧めします。

I was looking for a parasailing tour with transportation because the distance from the hotel I was staying at to the meeting point was quite far, and this was the only tour available on weekends, so I booked it the day before departure. It turned out to be about a 15-minute walk from the hotel to the meeting point, which was surprisingly easy. For those staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, it's very close. I had read in reviews that some people experienced seasickness, so I took motion sickness medication in advance. When we got on the boat, there were two families from the mainland U.S. and us, and everyone was friendly and welcoming, making it a lot of fun. When it was our turn to go parasailing, we took off at 150 feet, which was very high and a bit scary. However, everyone on the boat waved at us, and the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head were amazing, making it a wonderful experience. We were up in the air for over 10 minutes, so I think it's a great value tour. I didn't experience any seasickness, and it was truly enjoyable. I highly recommend it!

宿泊しているホテルから集合場所まで距離があるため送迎付きのパラセイリングを探していましたが、土日やっているのは、当ツアーのみだったため出国前日に申込みました。宿泊ホテルから集合場所までは徒歩15分くらいで、意外と簡単に行けました。ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ宿泊の方はすぐです。口コミで船酔いすると記載があったため事前に酔い止めを服用し、いざボートにのってみると、アメリカ本国からきた家族2組と私たちで、皆さん気さくでアットホームな方たちで、とても楽しかったです。いざ、自分たちの番が来て、パラセイリングで飛び立ちましたが、150フィート、とても高くて怖かったです。でも、ボートから皆が手を振ってくれ、ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの景色が素晴らしく、とても良い体験ができました。10分以上飛んでいるので、お得なツアーだと思います。船酔いもせず、本当に楽しかったです。おススメです!

The weather was great, and I had a wonderful time! The driver who picked us up to Waikiki had a lovely smile and was very pleasant, which made me feel good from the moment we were greeted. The Japanese guide's explanations in Japanese once we arrived at the port definitely added to my sense of security. The live music on board, donuts, drinks, and above all, the presence of a restroom made it comfortable for families with children.

お天気にも恵まれ、満喫できました!
ワイキキまで送迎のドライバーさんは笑顔が素敵で感じが良く、お迎えの瞬間から気分良く参加できました。
港に着いてからの日本人のガイドさんの日本語での説明はやはり安心感が増しました。
船内での生演奏、ドーナツ、ドリンク、そしてなにより、トイレ付きというのが、子連れには安心して過ごせました。
