I experienced 150m parasailing on my honeymoon. I discovered this option while searching for activities on my own, as the optional tours from the travel agency were far from the hotel and quite expensive. I was attracted by the proximity to the hotel, reasonable pricing, and early morning schedule, so I decided to book it.
On the day of the experience, they picked me up close to the hotel, and we set sail immediately upon arrival, which was great as there was no wasted waiting time. During the experience, the atmosphere was very homey, with everyone cheering and clapping as others took off and returned.
However, the waves in the Hawaiian sea were higher than I had imagined, so I think taking motion sickness medication is necessary. There were long periods of time when we were stationary during others' experiences, and the boat rocked enough for waves to come inside, which made me feel a bit queasy.
But once I was up in the air, it was truly a breathtaking view! From 150m high, I could see all of Waikiki, and the scenery was exhilarating. Before flying, they asked, "Are you okay with the GoPro?" and "Do you want to buy an SD card?" I recommend both. The landing in the water was dynamic, and if you mention that you want to purchase a card, they will take plenty of photos.
When I returned home and looked at the photos on my computer, there were over 100 images! I was amazed that it was only $30 for that. I was really happy about it.
With a 7:45 AM pickup, we arrived back at the hotel shortly after 9 AM, so I was able to spend the rest of the day meaningfully. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you very much.
新婚旅行で150mのパラセイリングを体験しました。旅行会社のオプショナルツアーはホテルから遠く、体験料も高かったので、個人で色々探しているときに発見。
ホテルからも近く、体験料も良心的、朝早い、ということに魅力を感じて申し込みました。
当日はホテルの近くまでお迎えに来てくれて、着いたら即出航。無駄な待ち時間もなく、よかったです。
体験中は同乗の方たちが飛んでいったり、戻ってくるとかけ声と拍手で盛り上げながらだったので、とてもアットホームな雰囲気でした。
ただ、ハワイの海は想像以上に波が高かったので、酔い止めの服用は必要だと思いました。
他の方の体験中は停船している時間も長く、揺られて船のなかに波が入ってくるくらいでしたので、途中から酔いそうになりました。
しかし、いざ飛んでみると、まさに絶景!150mの高さからワイキキを一望でき、すばらしい眺めに大興奮です。
飛ぶ前に「ジャボンOK?」「SDカードは買う?」と聞かれるので、両方をおすすめします。海への着水もダイナミックですし、カードを購入すると伝えるとたくさん写真を撮ってくれます。
帰国してからパソコンで見ると、100枚以上のデータが!これで$30とは驚きです。
本当に嬉しかったです。
7時45分のピックアップで9時過ぎにはホテルに到着したので、その後の時間も有意義に過ごせました。
素晴らしい体験になりました。ありがとうございました。

I participated in Dolphin University. Since it was the second trip (meeting at 9 AM), I didn't have to wake up early, and I was in great shape, but the atmosphere on the boat was more intense than I expected (laughs).
Even in August, it can get really cold on the boat, so please bring extra bath towels. A hoodie is a must.
Once you spot a dolphin, you need to jump into the sea immediately and swim hard, or the dolphins will swim away. You'll be kicking with your fins until your legs are sore.
If you're not a strong swimmer, it might be tough unless you train in a pool in Japan first.
My 9-year-old son ran out of energy during his second attempt out of three and rested on the boat for the third try.
On the second trip, there was no lunch on the boat, and we only received a Whopper Jr. from Burger King on the way back. It's delicious, though.
イルカ大学、参加してきました。2便(9時集合)だったので早朝から起きることもなく、体調も万全でしたが、船上は予想以上にスパルタです(笑)。
8月でも船上はホントにガタガタするくらい寒いので、バスタオルは多めに持っていってください。パーカー必須です。
イルカを見つけたら即海へ飛び込み、ガチで泳がないとイルカが遠くへ行ってしまうので、足がパンパンになるまでフィンキックします。
泳ぎの苦手な方は日本のプールでトレーニングしてからじゃないとハードかも。
9歳の息子は3回のトライのうち2回目で体力が尽き、3回目は船上で休んでました。
2便は船上ランチはなく、帰りのバスでバーガーキングのワッパージュニアを配られるだけです。美味しいけどね。

Comfortable, scenic, and fun. The views were great and the crew were very attentive. They went above and beyond for a couple passengers with sea sickness.
Don't worry if you're the last to board and can't find a seat, once you take off everyone is outside and moving around. No wait at the bar or food table. Friendly crew, and they're more than happy to share their knowledge of the islands.
A light jacket or long sleeve shirt might be needed at sunset.
And don't arrive too early since there is a little wait before boarding.
Awesome time!

The show is held on the rooftop, so it was cool, and at first, the sunset was dazzling, making sunglasses a must. I didn't want to wait in line, so I went early and got a seat in the front row on the side. It was a great view, and it was the best seat for taking photos. If you're going to watch, it's better to be up front. The audience was mixed with people from various countries, which was nice in a way. There seemed to be many people from the United States, but since there were attendees from different countries, if you can strike up a conversation, you might enjoy yourself before the show starts.
The food was decent, within acceptable limits, but if you don't have a good seat, you might not finish eating before the show begins. The kids were thrilled and very excited. In addition to the hula, there was also a fire show at the end, so I don't think you'll get bored. I think it's something you should see at least once.
ショーは屋上で行われるため、まあ、涼しいのと、最初は夕日が眩しかったので、サングラス必須でした。
並ぶのが嫌だったので、早めにいったところ、席はサイドの最前列。非常によく見れるし、撮影にも最高の席でした。どうせ観るなら前方がいいですよね。観客席は各国の人と相席なので、それはある意味良かったです。アメリカ本国の人が多かったようですが、各国から集まっていたので、会話ができれば、ショーの始まる前は楽しめるかと思います。
食事はまあまあですが、許容範囲で、いい席でないと、ショーの始まる前に食べ終わらないかもしれません。子供も喜んで大興奮でした。フラだけでなく、ファイヤーショーも最後にあり、飽きることはないかと思います。これも一度は観たほうがいいと思います。

It was truly amazing. We searched for dolphins from the boat, and as soon as we spotted them, we put on our snorkels and dove into the sea! Underwater, there was a large group of dolphins, creating a magical world! After playing a bit with the dolphins, we moved on to the next snorkeling spot… this time, there were three sea turtles! Swimming with the sea turtles was the best moment! Despite a hurricane approaching that day, the visibility was outstanding, and I don't think the conditions could have been better. While the presence of wildlife and sea conditions depend on luck, I feel like we used up all our luck this time because it was just incredible!! In the end, we all did a hula dance together, and it was so much fun! I want to participate again with my family next time.
本当に凄かったです。船上からイルカを探してイルカを発見したらすぐにシュノーケルをつけて海にダイブ!
海の中ではイルカの大群がいて幻想的な世界でした!

ウミガメとも一緒に泳げて最高の一時でした!
当日はハリケーンが来てるという中透明度もバツグンでこれ以上のコンディションは無いのじゃかいかな?というぐらい良かったです。

Since I was staying at the Sheraton Waikiki, the check-in location was close and easy to find. The reception and the crew on the boat did not understand Japanese at all, but if you know some simple English and words, you'll manage just fine.
I snorkeled freely where there were about 4 to 5 sea turtles. The turtles would come up to the surface to breathe multiple times, so I was able to take pictures up close, which made me very happy. The crew members occasionally checked in with a friendly "Are you okay?" in broken English, which was nice.
The sailing was headed towards Diamond Head, and the waves were really rough, making it feel like an attraction. However, since the waves splashed onto the boat and soaked us completely, I recommend putting important items in waterproof bags.
I went with my family of five adults, and even my mother, who didn't snorkel, was very satisfied with the sailing experience. Additionally, they provided a drink menu in Japanese, so I was able to enjoy my favorite drinks while taking in the beautiful ocean, which made me very happy!
シェラトンワイキキに宿泊していたため、受付場所も近く分かりやすかったです。受付や船の船員さんは日本語が全く通じませんが、簡単な英語と単語が分かれば何とかなります。
シュノーケルは海亀が4〜5匹いるところで自由にシュノーケルしました。海亀は何度も息つぎしに海面に上がってくるので近くで写真を撮ったりもでき、大満足でした◡̈⃝
乗務員のお兄さんたちも時折、片言ですが『だいじょぶ?』と声をかけてくれて、フレンドリーでした。
セーリングはダイヤモンドヘッド方面に向かい波がすごく荒かったので、アトラクション感覚で楽しめました。ただ、波が船の上に上がってきて、全身濡れるので、大事なものは防水の袋などにいれて持って行った方がいいと思います。
成人してる家族5人で行きましたが、シュノーケルしない母もセーリングが楽しかったと大満足でした。またドリンクメニューは日本語の紙を渡してくれたので、好きなお酒を飲みながら綺麗な海も見れて大満足でした!

In the morning, a dedicated bus came to pick us up near the hotel. From there, we traveled by boat to the location where the dolphins were. During the first two attempts, we couldn't see any dolphins, and I was worried about whether we would get to see them, but we were able to see them swimming underwater!
Due to lack of sleep and fatigue, along with the low water temperature, I ended up feeling seasick towards the end, but I’m glad I had this valuable experience.
I think it would be better to prepare some motion sickness medication if possible.

I participated in the 11:00 departure plan. Previously, I joined an early morning departure plan where there were many dolphins, but this time I felt there were fewer and more scattered.
Also, I participated with my 10-year-old and 7-year-old children. To see the dolphins, it's quite important to jump into the sea from the boat quickly, but since I had to take care of the kids, I didn't have much time to look under the water. In the end, I only saw the shadows of dolphins a little way off.
The Japanese female guide and the crew on the boat were all fun people, so I was very satisfied with that.
If I were to make a recommendation, it would be: 1) Participate in the earliest tour possible, and 2) Join with adults or older children only.
If you want to show small children the dolphins, I think a dolphin watching tour from the boat without snorkeling would be more enjoyable than a plan that includes snorkeling.
11:00出航プランに参加しました。以前は早朝出航のプランに参加し、イルカがたくさんいましたが、今回はまばらで数が少なかった気がします。
また、今回10歳と7歳の子供連れで参加しました。イルカを見るためには、スピード勝負で、船から真っ先に海に飛びこむことが結構大切ですが、子供のケアをしなければならないので、海の下を覗いている余裕があまりありませんでした。結局、少しだけ遠くにイルカの魚影が影のように見えただけでした。
ガイドしてくれた日本人の女性や、船のクルーはみんな楽しい人たちばかりなので、そこは非常に満足しています。
おすすめするとすれば、①極力朝一のツアーに参加すること、②大人または大きな子供だけで参加すること、です。
もし、小さな子供にイルカを見せてあげたい!という方は、イルカとシュノーケリングするプランではなく、シュノーケリングはせずに、船の上からイルカウォッチングするツアーの方が、楽しめると思います。

Last year, my parents had a great time on their trip to Hawaii, which is why we made this reservation. It was my mother's second time, and it was my first time parasailing, but thanks to the friendly staff, we enjoyed a fun flight. On the day of our flight, there was only one other couple besides us, so it wasn't busy, which was nice. The weather was clear, and perhaps because there was a little wind, we experienced some turbulence in the air. My mother seemed to get a bit seasick, but after a while, she settled down. I felt like the view from above was completely different from what you see from the ground. After we landed, we paid $30 to receive an SD card with the photos. All the pictures captured natural expressions, and they made for a wonderful keepsake. I would love to experience this again next time.
昨年、両親がハワイに旅行に行った際に楽しかったからと言う理由で今回予約をしました。母は2回目、私はパラセイリング初めてでしたがフレンドリーなスタッフさん達のおかげで楽しいフライトを楽しめました。当日は私たちの他に1組のカップルだけだったので、忙しくなく良かったと思います。またお天気も快晴で少し風が吹いていたからかもしれないが、上空で揺れました。母は少し酔ってしまったようですが、少し経過して落ち着いたようです。地上から見るのと上空から見るのでは、また違った景色を見ているように感じました。到着後、$30を支払写真のSDカードをもらいました。どれも自然な表情の写真ばかりで、とても良い記念になりました。また次回も体験してみたいと思いました。

We used this service for our honeymoon. The small boat was packed with about 40 adults and around 5 instructors. No matter how much profit is at stake, that was terrible. I am a diver, and even on boats of similar size, the limit is 10 people.
There was hardly any space to sit, and of course, there were beginners in snorkeling, so when we spotted dolphins, everyone was flailing around in the water, and the dolphins quickly disappeared. It was handled in a way that made it feel like just being lucky to see them once! Therefore, I do not recommend this company for those hoping for a leisurely dolphin swim.
The camera fees were also exorbitant, with still images costing $60 and both still images and videos costing $100, which is shocking. Additionally, although it was optional, there was also a charge for the wetsuit. There was only one photographer for 40 people. When I checked the photos after returning home, despite paying a high price, I only had about 20 photos of myself. I am not satisfied with this.
I believe that if they reduced the capacity to around 20 people and added another photographer, the tour would be much better. I hope for improvements.
I was truly happy to see wild dolphins, even just once. For my next trip to Hawaii, I plan to use a different tour company.
Thank you.

いくら利益の為とはいえ、あれはひどいです。私はダイバーですが、ダイビングでは同じような大きさの船でも10人が限度です。
座るところを探してもないぐらいの押込み具合で、もちろんシュノーケリング初めての方もいらっしゃいますので、イルカを見つけると、海上でバタバタし、イルカもすぐにいなくなりました。一目見れただけでラッキーだね!という捌き方なので、ゆっくりドルフィンスイムを希望の方にはこちらの会社はオススメ致しません。
カメラ撮影も高額で、静止画で60ドル、静止画&動画は100ドルと驚きの価格です。その上任意ですが、ウェットスーツ代も取られます。
カメラマンは40人に対して、1人だけです。帰国後に写真を確認すると、高額を支払ったにもかかわらず、やはり自身の写真は20枚前後です。これには納得がいきません。

Shopping in Hawaii is great, but if there's a beautiful ocean right in front of you, I thought it would be nice to enjoy it from a high place, so I joined this tour.
I also made my 70-year-old father and 67-year-old mother participate in the 150-meter parasailing. Both of them gave a thumbs up as a good sign when they came down. The boat was small and quite rocky. I read in the experiences that "it might be good to have motion sickness medication," so I brought some just in case, and I took it as soon as we headed out to sea. Thanks to the tension of the upcoming parasailing and the rocking, I easily started to feel a bit nauseous. I think it's definitely a good idea to take the motion sickness medication beforehand.
From takeoff to landing, it takes about 10 minutes, which feels quite long. We took off in a line of three, which is said to be more stable. If there are any scared people, please fly together with them. Instead of sitting in a chair, it's a type where you connect a harness. So even in the air, the parachute swayed left and right, which wasn't very pleasant.
When the rope started to wind up and we got closer to the boat, I pointed down (toward the sea) at the captain, and he made sure to drop us into the water. Those who weren't wearing swimsuits or didn't want to get wet landed normally. If you're going to do it, why not get dropped into the blue sea and make the boat experience more exciting?
ハワイでお買い物三昧もいいですが、綺麗な海が目の前にあるなら、高いとこからそれを眺めるのも良いんじゃないかと思いこのツアーに参加。
70歳の父親と67歳の母親も150メートルのパラに強制参加させました。2人とも降りてくるなら親指を立ててグッドこサインをしてました。
船は、小さな船で結構揺れます。体験談に「酔い止めが有ると良いかも」って書いてあったので保険のために持って行きましたが、沖に出てすぐに飲みました。
これから始まるパラへの緊張と揺れのお陰で、簡単に気持ち悪くなることができました。まず酔い止めを飲んでおいて間違いは無いと思います。
テイクオフから降りてくるまでは、約10分。結構長く感じます。横並びの3人でテイクオフしましたが、その方が安定するとのこと。怖がりの人がいるなら一緒に飛んであげて下さい。
椅子に座るのではなく、ハーネスを繋げる感じのタイプ。なので上空でもパラが右へ左へ揺られて、あまり気持ちのいいものではありませんでした。
ロープが巻き取り始めて船まで近づいた時に、キャプテンに向かって下(海面)に向かって指を指差すと、ちゃんと海に落としてくれます。
水着を着てなかったり希望しない人は、普通に着地してました。
折角なら青い海に落としてもらい、船を盛り上げては如何ですか?

My first time at Kualoa.
I had just seen the latest Jurassic World, so I was super excited about this scene and that scene!
The tour guide was friendly and kind.
However, please don't expect much from the lunch buffet. The taste was shocking, and it made my taste buds tremble.
I hardly ate anything.
Still, I'm glad I participated in this tour!
初めてのクアロア。
最新のジェラシックワールドをみたばかりだったので、あの場面やその場面に大興奮!
ツアーの添乗員さんもフレンドリーで、優しい。
ただ、ランチのビッフェだけは、期待しないてください。衝撃の味で、舌が震えてしまいます。
わたしは、ほとんで食べませんでした。
それでも、このツアーに参加してよかった!

This was our second visit with our two children (two years in a row). The crew is entertaining, and it’s always the best experience no matter how many times we go. Check-in is fine in Japanese, so there’s nothing to worry about. We’ll definitely come again!
子供2人と2回目(2年連続)の利用でした。
クルーも楽しませてくれるし、何度やっても最高。チェックインも日本語で問題ないし、心配もないです。
またお願いします!!

I signed up because I wanted to try zip-lining at least once. As mentioned in the experiences, there were no Japanese participants, and the staff spoke English, but the language barrier was not an issue at all. (You can generally understand by observing the atmosphere and your surroundings.)
First, we drove up the mountain in a four-wheeler, and the driving was aggressive and fun. I also thought zip-lining would just be about sliding down, but there were parts where we had to climb back up using ropes, which was very tiring. But it was enjoyable.
ジップラインを一度やってみたくて申し込みしました。
体験談にあるように参加者に日本人はいなく、スタッフも英語ですが
言葉の問題は全く問題ありませんでした。
(雰囲気や、周りを見えいれば大体わかります)
最初に4輪バギーで山の上の方まで登るのですが、
運転がアグレッシブで楽しかったです。
また、ジップラインはただ滑り降りていくだけだと思っていましたが、
途中ロープで上まで登ったりするところもありとても疲れました。
でも楽しかったです。

The cheerful crew really got everyone excited, and we were able to compete and take photos with other families on the same boat. When we actually flew, we were able to enjoy the best views, and it was a valuable experience. I definitely want to recommend this to anyone visiting Honolulu!
1. It's reassuring to put your phone in a waterproof pouch.
2. I think it's good for children to have motion sickness medication.
クルーの陽気な方がとても盛り上げてくれて、同じボートに乗る他の家族の方たちとも手を張り合ったり写真を取り合ったり出来ました。
実際に飛んだ時は最高の景色を眺めることができ、貴重な体験が出来ました。
ホノルルに遊びに行く人には是非オススメしたいです!
1つ 携帯は防水ポーチにいれると安心
2つ お子様は酔い止めがあるといいと思います。

I rode it once over 10 years ago. My impression at that time was quite good, so I decided to ride it again this time, but... I was disappointed because I couldn't see much. There were hardly any Japanese people on this trip, so the captain's talk was all in English, which I didn't understand well (^_^;) I wonder if it depends on the weather. I won't be doing it again.
10年以上前に、1回乗りました。
その時の印象が割りと良かったので、今回も乗ったのですが…
あまり、良く見えなくてがっかりでした。
日本人が殆どいない回だったので、船長の話しも英語オンリーで、良くわからん(^_^;)
天気にもよるのかな~
再度は無いですね。

My father-in-law and I had an awesome time out on the water. We took the morning tour/sail. The staff was very nice, informative and professional. It was a great way to start any day. The views from the boat were spectacular. I would recommend anyone coming to Waikiki to look them up and take the tour.

This was my first time participating. There were two staff members accompanying us on the boat, both of whom were locals. One of the staff members spoke Japanese, albeit with a bit of difficulty. They were cheerful and had an interesting way of talking!
As for the parasailing, I joined the 110m program. Before taking off, the staff asked whether I wanted to land on the boat or be dropped into the sea. Since it was a special occasion, I chose to be dropped into the sea, which was fun!
The view from above was breathtaking, and I’m really glad I participated. Also, I think it’s essential to take motion sickness medication before getting on the boat to avoid causing trouble for the staff and other participants. Before participating, please make sure to read the precautions carefully, follow them, and ensure you are in good health.
初めて参加しました。船に同行するスタッフは2人、どちらも現地の方でした。
カタコトではありますが、スタッフのうち1人の方は日本語でお話ししてくださりました。明るい方で、トークが面白かったです!
パラセーリングの方ですが、110mのプログラムに参加しました。
飛ぶ前に、スタッフの方に船上に着地かそのまま海に落としてもらうかを聞かれました。せっかくなので海に落としてもらいました笑
上空から見る景色は絶景で、とても参加してよかったと思います。
また、スタッフの方、他の参加者に迷惑をかけないよう、酔い止めはボートに乗る前に必ず飲んでいた方が良いと思います。参加の前には、
注意事項をしっかりと読み、それに必ず従い、体調が整っている上で参加してほしいです。

ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! This time of year is the dolphin birthing season, and some dolphins may be swimming faster, so the tour might have been a bit challenging. I hope your whole family enjoyed it! If you have the opportunity, we would love for you to come back and visit again. Thank you, MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ大学にご参加いただきありがとうございました! この時期はイルカの出産シーズンで一部のイルカの泳ぎが速くなっていることもあり、ツアーは少しハードだったかと思います。ご家族皆様、お楽しみいただけましたでしょうか? また機会がございましたら皆様で遊びにお越しいただければと思います。ありがとうございました、MAHALO!!
