Hawaii Parasailing - Heights: 45m / 90m / 120m / 150m - Hilton Waikiki <with pick-up> by Hawaiian Parasail / 90 meters
I have a tendency to get seasick easily, so I was very worried about getting seasick. I was even considering canceling up until the day before.
On the day of the activity, I took motion sickness medication, made sure not to eat too much for breakfast, and was careful to be well-rested. Thankfully, I didn't feel sick at all. There were two other Japanese couples besides us, and we had a fun and refreshing time throughout. The view from the sea was amazing, and I was moved to think, "Ah, I'm in Hawaii!" Thank you very much.

とても酔い易い体質なので船酔いをとてもとても心配してました。
前日までキャンセルしようかと考えていたくらいです。
当日は酔い止めを飲んで朝ごはんも食べすぎず、寝不足でもないように気を付けて体調を万全にしてのぞみました。それがよかったのか、酔うこともなく、私たち以外は日本人の２カップルでしたが、
終始楽しく爽快に過ごせました。海上からの眺めはとても良く、あ～ハワイにいるんだな＾＾と感動でした。ありがとうございました。

We chose this place because we stayed at Ilikai. It was nice that everyone else was foreign couples or families. We requested a photo shoot for $30. In the end, they did the usual splash into the sea (laughs), and it was fun.

イリカイ滞在だったのでこちらにしました。
私達以外皆さん外人のカップルやファミリーだったので良かったです。30ドルで写真撮影してくれるとゆーことで御願いしました。
最後お決まりの海にバシャンと落としてくれたし( 笑 )楽しかったです。

This is a wonderful dinner cruise! From the onset, the staff and crew catered to our every need. Our server, Kahleo (sp?) was a doll! We chose the tenderloin and all-you-can-eat crab meal and have to say, it was excellent! The tenderloin was cooked perfectly and the crab was hot and plentiful! Our window seat table was awesome. I'm amazed how the crew can serve so many people a hot, wonderful meal! Fantastic cruise up to Diamond Head ending with a beautiful fireworks display. A ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ evening! Would definitely recommend to anyone considering a dinner cruise!

At the secret beach in the morning, we had unlimited experiences with stand-up paddleboarding and canoeing, and we had a great time playing. Toward the end, we were taken a bit offshore on a board and were thrilled to see several swimming sea turtles up close. During the afternoon movie location tour, the Japanese bus guide entertained us with fun stories, and we enjoyed the beautiful views of the mountains and the sea. I'm really glad I made a reservation! 😊

午前中のシークレットビーチではサップやカヌーが体験し放題で、夢中になって遊びました。終盤にボードで少し沖に連れて行ってもらい、泳ぐウミガメを何匹も間近に見れて感動しました。午後の映画ロケ地ツアーでは日本語のバスガイドさんが楽しいお話しで盛り上げてくれて、山と海の景色が堪能できました。予約して本当によかったです(^^)

I participated in a plan that included lunch. At the sandbar, the guide started a volleyball game, so I was able to have fun with others. It was cold after getting out of the water from snorkeling, so it was a good decision to bring a change of clothes. Those who got on the bus in their swimsuits looked quite cold. On the boat, they also served warm drinks.

ランチ付きプランに参加しました。サンドバーではガイドの方がバレーを始めてくれたので、他の方とも楽しく過ごせました。シュノーケルは海から上がってからが寒かったので、着替えを持って行って正解でした。水着のままバスに乗られていた方たちはかなり寒そうでした。船では温かい飲み物も出してくれました。

I participated in a trip with my mother. The weather was wonderful that day, and it was a very peaceful aerial walk. Even I, who have a fear of heights, and my mother, who initially said it looked scary, were able to enjoy it. Since I had requested photos in advance, they took many pictures that clearly showed how much fun we had. This is an option that can be enjoyed even by first-timers.

母と2人旅で参加しました。この日はお天気にも恵まれ、とても穏やかな空中散歩でした。高所恐怖症の私も、最初は怖そうと言っていた母も楽しめました。事前に写真のお願いをしていたので、楽しかったという事が一目で分かる写真をたくさん撮って下さいました。初めてでも充分楽しめるオプションです。

Great crew a very fun time for my wife and son and myself. Food was good desserts were good.
Hilight of the cruise was the sighting of a whale.
The M C was very friendly and our waiter Max could not have been more helpful.

Snorkeling is definitely better at the front! If you want to see the clear, beautiful sea, you absolutely have to go at the front because the back is murky!

シュノーケリングは先発が絶対とく‼︎
後方は水が濁ってしまってるから澄んだ綺麗な海をみたいなら絶対先発‼︎‼︎

The bus on the way there was so cold that I was freezing (~_~;) It made my stomach hurt... The return trip was a bit better, but the ride there was really too cold and it was terrible.

行きのバスの中が寒くて凍えてた(~_~;)お腹痛くなるやつ…帰りはまだマシやったけど行きは本当に寒すぎてやばかった

The weather wasn't very good in the morning... it was cold (~_~;) But I was glad I could see a beautiful rainbow‼︎ A wrap is definitely a must-have.

朝から天気があまり良くなかったから…寒かった(~_~;)でも、虹も綺麗にみれたからよかった‼︎やっぱり羽織るものは必需品です。

I was worried I wouldn't be able to see them, but I saw sea turtles! They swam close by for a long time, so I was really satisfied with how many I got to see.

見れるか不安やったけど、海ガメ見れたよー‼︎
ずっと近くに泳いでたからたくさん見ること出来て満足やった。

Smoking on the sea is the best! (laughs)
Huh? Is it okay to smoke here? (laughs) But since it was allowed, I did it proudly! (≧∇≦)

海の上でのタバコサイコー（笑）
え？ここは吸っていーの？（笑）と思いながら…
でもが出たので堂々と（≧∇≦）

I returned wearing my swimsuit with a towel draped over me, but I got really cold on the bus. There are no lockers or changing rooms, so it's better to bring extra towels. They were disposing of leftover snacks during the light meal. I wish they had waited until the participants got off. The water level was about knee-deep. It seems the sandbar is around October 10, so those who got to experience it are lucky. The staff were great at getting everyone excited, and there were no issues with their service. Swimming in a line while snorkeling with a large group is challenging, but I saw a lot of cute little fish!

帰りは水着のままタオルを羽織って帰りましたがバスの中で冷えきります。ロッカー、更衣室はありませんので、多目にタオル持っていった方が。　軽食中に余っていたものを処分していました。参加者がおりてからにしてほしかったです。　水位はひざ下位でした。砂洲は10/月位らしいので、当たった方は羨ましです。　スタッフさんは盛り上げてくれたり、対応は問題ありません。シュノーケリング縦に並んで大勢で泳ぐのは大変ですが小さな魚がたくさん見れて可愛かったですよ！！

The dolphins are very cute, and the interaction time went by in a flash. The staff in the pool only speak English, but there is an explanation provided in advance by a staff member who can speak Japanese, so there are no issues at all. I had a very enjoyable time.

You will have to wait quite a while until it's time to leave. The park is smaller than it looks on the map, so you can't spend too much time there. If the weather is bad, you might get cold, so I think it's essential to have a change of clothes or something to wear over your outfit.

You can purchase photos with the dolphins, but they might be a bit too expensive. It would be great if they were a little more reasonable.

イルカはとても可愛く、ふれあいの時間はあっというまでした。プール内のスタッフは英語のみですが事前に日本語が話せるスタッフから説明もありますし、全く問題ありません。とても楽しい時間が過ごせました。

帰りの時間までは結構待ちます。パーク内はマップで見てたより狭く、時間はあまり潰せません。天気が悪い日なら身体も冷えてしまうので着替えや羽織るものは必須だと思います。
イルカとの写真は購入できますが、高すぎるかな。もうすこしリーズナブルだとありがたいです。

"Russell" and the skipper were bona fide pros. Personable, efficient, experienced, providing safe and exciting fun for sailers and riders alike. I would do it again without hesitation.

The office staff was equally efficient. They managed to reschedule our long-standing reservations to a day earlier to avoid a forecast of a week of Trade Wind activity. It is no wonder that that Hawaiian Parasail at Waikiki is such a successful business. You gotta do it.
A great value !!

The seawater was up to my knees, but it was really fun! ♪ I was able to swim with a sea turtle while snorkeling too! ☆

海水はひざ下まででしたが、凄く楽しかったです♪
シュノーケリングの時もウミガメと一緒に泳ぐ事が出来ました☆

We participated in a parasailing tour as a family of four, and it was really great. Since we stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, we walked there. We arrived early, but it seemed like there was enough time even if we were cutting it close.

Our fellow participants included a three-generation Chinese American family, two women from Australia, a couple from the mainland U.S., and one local Hawaiian man, with no Japanese participants. The explanations were all in English, but there were no problems at all. The fellow participants and the guide were also very entertaining, which made it really enjoyable.

It was my first time parasailing, and I was a bit nervous, but since we ascended slowly, it wasn't scary at all, and I was able to enjoy a graceful tour above Hawaii. As mentioned in the reviews, there was a $20 bill at the boat's exit, which felt like a tip expectation, but none of the participants paid it, and the staff didn't seem to mind at all; the atmosphere was very cheerful.

家族四人でパラセーリングツアーに参加しましたが、とてもよかったです。
ホテルはヒルトンハワイアンビレッジでしたので徒歩で行きました。早めについたのですが、
時間はぎりぎりでも大丈夫なようでした。
同乗者は、中国系アメリカ人三世代、オーストラリアからの女性二人組、アメリカ本土からのカップルとハワイ現地の男性一人で日本人はいません。すべて英語での説明ですが、全然問題なく、また同乗者、ガイドの方も楽しませてくれて、本当によかったです。
パラセーリングは初めてで少し緊張しましたが、ゆっくりと上昇するので、全然怖くなく、優雅にハワイ上空の遊覧を楽しむことができませんでした。
口コミに書いてありましたが、船の出口＄20紙幣のみ挟んであり、＄20のチップを支払うような感じでしたが、同乗者は誰も払いませんでしたし、スタッフの方も全然関係なく、にこやかな雰囲気でした。

The weather was unstable, and in Haleiwa, there was a power outage due to heavy rain and lightning, so we couldn't enjoy shopping, but we were able to enjoy horseback riding in the rain.

Perhaps because there were many people, there weren't enough rain gear, and the guide offered his own jacket. I thought it would be good to prepare with more leeway.

It was my first time horseback riding, but there were no problems at all. Even when the horse stopped to graze along the way, the staff casually said, "Let it eat."

The garlic shrimp recommended by the guide was the most delicious I've ever had, and I'm glad they introduced it to us. The children also said it was the most fun memory of their trip to Hawaii.

I would definitely like to participate again.

天気が不安定で、ハレイワでは大雨と落雷で停電し買い物は楽しめませんでしたが、乗馬は雨の中楽しむことが出来ました。
人数が多かったせいか雨具が足りず、ガイドさんが自分のジャケットを差し出していました。
余裕をもって用意していただきたいと思いました。
乗馬は初めてでしたが、何の問題もなかったです。
途中馬が道草を食っても、係りの人は「食べさせてあげて～」とのんびりした感じでした。
ガイドさんおすすめのガーリックシュリンプは、今までで一番おいしく紹介していただいてよかったです。
子供たちもハワイ旅行で一番楽しい思い出だと言っております。
またぜひ参加したいです。

I experienced 150 meters.
It was canceled the day before due to strong winds, but...
When I actually experienced it, it was amazing.
I'm really glad I did it this time.
You can't understand this view unless you've experienced it; it's hard to explain.
You might think 150 meters is high, but...
I'm glad it was 150 meters.
They also take photos for you!
You can decide whether to buy them after seeing the pictures.
I'm glad I did it.

150メートルを体験してきました。
前日は強風の為中止になりましたが…
いざ体験するとサイコーでした。
今回体験して本当に良かったです。
この景色は体験した人でないとわかりませんね、説明出来ません。
150メートルと聞くと高いと思うかもしれませんが…
150メートルにして良かったです。
写真も撮ってくれますよ〜
買うか買わないかは写真を見てから決めれます。
やって良かったです。

My daughter and a friend decided to stay in Oahu over spring break instead of coming home. They had planned bus trips for Hanauma Bay as well as North Shore during the week. After having a horrible time with the bus schedules and waiting to get to their destinations, I decided to get them tickets for the shuttle. So glad I did! They had a really good time, hassle free of buses and hotel pick up and drop off was perfect for them. The trip to the bay made their spring break! So glad I found this site, and we will use them again when we visit her over Thanksgiving this year!

I experienced parasailing for the first time, and it was so enjoyable that I highly recommend it! I wasn't scared at all, but one of the male participants in a couple was too scared to go, so the woman ended up going alone. I ended up riding with her instead of that man, and I got to experience it twice... I am very satisfied!

初めてパラセイリングを体験してみて、とっても気持ちよかったのでめちゃくちゃオススメです！私は全く怖くなかったですが、他の参加者のカップルの男性の方が怖がってやらないことになり、女性は一人でやることになってました。その男性の代わりに私が一緒にライドすることになり、2回も体験できて、、、私は大満足です！

It was an AWSOME adventure!! The guide was excellent!!

Took a group of friends on April 16 2016!!! It was so much fun can't wait to go again

The pickup was on time in front of the Duke Kahanamoku statue. Although it was supposed to be a colorful trolley, it was actually a regular van.

Once all the participants for the same time slot gathered and the previous group returned, we boarded the boat. There were four other groups besides us, and we were the only Japanese, so I was a bit worried about the language barrier, but the pilot spoke enough basic Japanese for the activities, so it was fine.

150 meters was higher than I imagined! I tried not to look straight down and enjoyed the panoramic view of Waikiki. It was thrilling and refreshing. The boat rocked quite a bit, and I got a little seasick while waiting for my turn. If you're prone to motion sickness, it's essential to bring motion sickness medication.

They ask if you want to have photos taken for $30 right before you fly. I wanted photos from the air, so I requested it. There were a few blurry photos, but they took dozens before we took off, and the landing part was recorded as a video, so I felt it was worth it. (They give you a CD-R after it's done.) If you're planning to request photos, it's a good idea to bring $30 plus cash for tips. (There are two pilots on the boat.) You can just store your belongings in the storage space under the seats, so it's best not to bring valuables and only take the essentials.

On the way back, we boarded the van again, and the driver asked for the hotel name and dropped us off right in front of it.

It became a great memory! I had a lot of fun.

ピックアップはデュークカハナモク像の前で時間通りに迎えに来てくれました。
カラフルなトローリーでお迎えとありましたが実際は普通のバンでした。

同じ時間帯の参加者が揃い、前の時間帯の船が戻って来ると船に乗り込みます。船内は私たち以外に４組いて、日本人は私たちだけだったので言葉が分かるか不安でしたが操縦士さんはアクティビティに必要な最低限の日本語は話してくれたので大丈夫でした。

150メートル、想像以上に高かったです！！
真下はなるべく見ないようにして一望できるワイキキの景色を楽しみました。
スリル満点で爽快でした。
船はかなり揺れるので自分の順番が来るまでにちょっと船酔いしてしまいました。酔いやすい方は酔い止め必須です。
30ドルで写真の撮影を頼むか飛ぶ直前に聞かれます。上空での写真がほしかったのでお願いしました。ボケている写真も数枚ありましたが飛ぶ前から何十枚か撮ってくれていたし最後の着水の部分は動画になっていて買って良かったなと思いました。（終わったらＣＤーＲで渡してくれます。）
撮影を頼む方は３０ドルとチップ分の現金を持っていくといいですね。（船には二人の操縦士さんが乗り込みます。）荷物は船の座る部分の下の収納スペースに置いておくだけなので貴重品などは持って行かず必要最低限のものだけにしたほうがいいです。

帰りはまたバンに乗り込みドライバーさんにホテル名を聞かれホテルの目の前で降ろしてもらえました。

いい思い出になりました！楽しかったです。

My boyfriend and I were in Hawaii last week with friends and this was one of the highlights of our trip! We stayed at Sheraton Waikiki so this catamaran was an easy walk right next door along the beach. They take you out about 15 mins into the ocean where we snorkeled and saw 300lb sea turtles that swim right next to you! After snorkeling grab a spot on the nets and you're in for a fun ride over some waves! The staff is fun and friendly as well!

My 14 yr old son and I did the zip line tour. Our guides were personable and engaging. I loved the tandem so we could zip at the same time! What a great day!!

Mr. Nakamura constantly shared various local stories, so the one-hour drive from Haleiwa to Oahu was not boring at all! The horseback riding in the valley was a bit nerve-wracking, but the horses are well-trained enough for beginners to ride comfortably, so you can ride with peace of mind. The staff at the riding arena are cheerful and kind people. I was able to enjoy the garlic shrimp in Haleiwa at a leisurely pace, and it was a very satisfying trip! 😊

中村さんが絶えず色々現地のお話をしてくれたので、ハレイワーオアフ間の1時間のドライブも退屈せず過ごせました！
渓谷乗馬は少しドキドキしましたが、初心者も心地よく乗れる位に訓練された馬なので、安心して乗れますよ〜。馬場のスタッフさんも陽気で優しい人です。
ハレイワのガーリックシュリンプもゆっくり食べれて、大満足の旅行でした＾＾

Had a lots of fun and a good activity to see the sunset

I was satisfied with the parasailing itself (*^^*). However, the shuttle was a trolley without windows, and the driving was too rough!

I was scared that I might fly out during the turns! My husband and I could still laugh about it, saying it felt very American (lol), but other guests had their large luggage blown away, so I think if there were small children, they would definitely feel uncomfortable.

I really think this should be pointed out as it was terrible. It was also tough to wait about 30 minutes after arriving at the dock. I bought some photos, but they were mostly close-ups, and the ones showing us flying high didn’t really capture that well, plus they didn’t look very good, so I felt it was expensive (>_<).

パラセーリング自体は満足しました(*^^*)
しかし、送迎が窓ガラスが無いトロリーだったのですが運転荒すぎです！

カーブの時なんて飛んでいっちゃうかと怖かったです！
私たち夫婦は、アメリカンな感じだね（笑）とまだ笑えましたが
他のお客さんの大きな荷物が吹っ飛んでたので
小さなお子様がいたりしたら絶対嫌に感じると思います。

本当に酷いので指摘すべきだと思います。
船着場に着いてから30分くらい待たされたのも辛かったです。
写真も買いましたが アップの写真ばっかで
高く飛んでるのがわからない写真だけで
写りもあまり良くなく高く感じました(>_<)

The shuttle bus picked us up at our accommodation, Hyatt Regency Waikiki, so the whole family participated. We signed up thinking, "Half a day on a boat sounds nice," but it was amazing!!

After leaving the harbor, we headed to the "sandbar," about 15 minutes offshore, with white sand (from coral) and a water depth of around 20 cm, covering an area of about 200 square meters. Since it's located offshore, it was a wonderful and unique experience to "walk on the sea," and our family was very satisfied!

We relaxed for about an hour before returning to the boat for a hamburger lunch while moving to the snorkeling point. During that time, we spotted a turtle—lucky us! And then, a seal?! It seems it got lost in this coral lagoon (according to YUKIKO, a Japanese staff member who has been there for 8 years, this was her first time seeing one). While snorkeling, we enjoyed the view of the mountains where Jurassic Park was filmed on our left. With life jackets provided, it was easy and comfortable. Unlike the shallow sandbar we visited earlier, the snorkeling point had a coral reef with a depth of about 5 to 10 meters surrounding an area of about 200 meters. Because of that depth, we were lucky to spot another turtle here!

It was a more enjoyable time than we expected. I highly recommend it to everyone!

送迎バスが、宿泊のハイアットリージェンシーワイキキに当たっれいたので、家族で参加。
「半日、船でゆっくりでいいかな」くらいで申し込んだのですが、最高でした！！
港を出て、15分ほど沖の「サンドバー」、水深20cm程の白砂（サンゴから）の200m四方ほど、海岸から沖にあるので、「海の上を歩く」という不思議な素敵な体験、家族して満足！
1時間ほどゆっくりして船にもどり、ハンバーガーの昼食をとりながら、シュノーケリングポイントへ移動。その間に、亀発見、ラッキー！さらにアザラシ？！どうもこのサンゴのラグーンに迷い込んだようです（日本人スタッフのYUKIKOさんの8年いて初めてとのこと）。左手にジュラシックパーク撮影の山を見ながら、シュノーケリング。ライフジャケットがあるので、楽ちん。周囲に浅瀬が取り巻く先ほどの「サンドバー」とへ違い、シュノーケリングポイントの周囲200mほどのサンゴ群の外周は5～10m深さ。その深さゆえ、ラッキーにもここでも「亀」発見！
期待以上に楽しい時間でした。ぜひ皆さん、どうぞ。
