The team at Hawaiian parasail were fantastic. They were efficient, fun and safe from pick up to drop off. Greg our driver was knowledgeable, talkative and funny! The boat crew were very professional and experienced. We even saw a whale!
Would highly recommend

It was super enjoyable. I chose the highest type, and I was a bit anxious, but I was totally fine! My wife can't swim and was really scared, but it was no problem at all. She was nervous at the end, but it became a wonderful memory. Thank you. I highly recommend that those who participate apply with photos.

ちょー気持ち良かったです。
一番高く上がるタイプを選択し少し不安でしたが、私は全然大丈夫でした！
妻は泳げず、怖い怖い言ってましたが、全く問題無かったです。終わった時は緊張してましたが、とても良い思い出になりました。ありがとう
参加される方は、ぜひ写真付きで申込むことをお勧めします。

No problems at all. They provide transportation from Waikiki to Keana Farms with shared rides. It takes a little over an hour. Once you arrive, you'll be asked to sign a consent form on a touch panel (available in Japanese). First, you'll get accustomed with a practice zip line, and then you'll be taken to the highest point by a buggy. You zip line one after another by following along. It was so much fun! It lasts about two hours in total. The three handsome staff members were very kind. I wasn't sure about the last photo sale, but in the end, I was able to download them for free. I wonder why? I highly recommend it to everyone.

問題ありません。ワイキキから混乗でケアナファームまで送迎してくれます。１時間ちょっとでしょうか。現地に着くとタッチパネル（日本語対応）で同意書にサインさせられます。まず最初に予行演習的なジップで慣らして、バギーカーで最高地点に送られます。見よう見まねで次々ジップします。楽しかった～。実質２時間ぐらい。イケメン３人の係の人は大変親切です。最後の写真の販売はよくわかりませんでしたがね。結局ただでダウンロードできました。どうしてだろう？皆様にもお勧めします。

On New Year's Day 2020, I enjoyed a view of Waikiki from the sky. Most tours take a break on New Year's Day, so be careful when planning your schedule! They do operate during the year-end, though. Thank you for the paragliding experience I participated in! They were open on New Year's Day! There were two groups with a total of seven people. The wind was just right, not too cold, and it was perfect. One downside was that the pick-up location was in the city rather than at the hotel, which made me a bit anxious, but it turned out fine.

2020年、元旦に空からワイキキを眺めてきました。
元旦は、ほとんどのツアーがお休みになってしまいますので、予定を組む際には、注意が必要ですよ！年末はやってますがね。
今回参加したパラは、有難うございました！元旦に営業していましたよ！
参加は二組で7名でした。
風も丁度よく、寒くもなく最高でした。
一つ難点は、PICK場所が、ホテルではなく街中でしたので、少々不安でしたが大丈夫でした。

Dolphins swam leisurely right beneath us. We were able to see turtles up close, and at the snorkeling point, the coral was more alive than I expected⭐︎ The staff were kind, and we enjoyed a hula dance as well. I would love to participate again.

One disappointing thing was that, despite the explanation not to use spray sunscreen because it harms the marine environment, there were customers who used it without concern. I hope that users will follow the rules to protect Hawaii's beautiful ocean.

イルカが私たちの真下でゆったりと泳いで行きました。亀も至近距離で見られたし、シュノーケルポイントでは思ったより珊瑚が生きていまいました⭐︎
スタッフの方も親切で、フラダンスも楽しませて頂きました。
また参加したいです。

一つ残念だったのは、海の環境に悪い為スプレータイプの日焼け止めは使わないで下さいという説明があったにも関わらず気にせず使われているお客様がいた事です。ハワイの美しい海を守るため、利用者にはルールを守ってもらいたいです。

After the Viking meal, there was a traditional luau show. The food was delicious and it was fun. However, the show could be a bit shorter.

バイキングの食事の後、フラ、伝統ルアウショー
食事も美味しく、楽しかった。
ただ、ショーはもう少し短い方が良いかも

We participated as a family of five. Since it was the end of the year, there were many Japanese people, and everyone in the same group was Japanese, which created a sense of camaraderie towards the end, making it a lot of fun.

As others have mentioned, the crew members were very friendly, and they took care of all the setup, so we could just relax and enjoy ourselves. It was thrilling and refreshing, and it was the most enjoyable activity we've done in Hawaii so far. The kids had a great time too.

It's possible to take pictures while holding an iPhone, but having a GoPro or similar device allows for much better shots. The crew also takes photos and sells them: one photo for $15, four for $30, or all 50 for $66. Most people ended up buying all of them.

The North Shore is a great place as well. You can cover everything in about two hours, and although the mornings start a bit early, I think it's efficient for making the most of the day. I would love to do it again.

家族５人で参加しました。年末ということもあり日本人の方も多く、同じグループみなさん日本人で最後の方には連帯感も生まれ楽しかったです。
他の方も書かれていましたが、クルーの皆さんも非常にフレンドリーでしかもセットアップも全てやってくれるし、あとは身を任せて楽しむだけでした。
スリルも爽快感もあり、これまでのハワイでのアクティビティでは１番楽しかったです。子供もすごく楽しんでいました。
iPhone持ちながらも可能ですが、GoProなどあるとかなりいい画が撮れます。またクルーの方が写真を撮ってくれ、販売されるのですが、１枚１５ドル、４枚３０ドル、５０枚全て６６ドルで購入できます。ほとんどの方が全部買っていました。

ノースショアという場所もいいですね。2時間ほどで全て回れるし、朝は少し早いですが効率良く１日が使えていいと思います。
またやってみたいです。

I signed up for the tour at the last minute the day before. Although Manoa Falls was under construction and we went to an alternative location, I was able to enjoy a lovely time walking through a botanical garden filled with rare flowers while also seeing the waterfall. Both the driver and the guide were fun and attentive, and there was an American couple who alternated explanations in English and Japanese, which made it very enjoyable. We also had lunch in the park, and perhaps because the weather was nice, it tasted even better.

前日に急遽申し込み参加しました。マノア滝が工事中で代替地になりましたが珍しい花が咲く植物園を散策しながら滝も見れてとても気持ちの良い時間を過ごすことが出来ました。運転手さんもガイドさんも楽しく気配りが有りアメリカ人のご夫婦がいらして英語と日本語を交互に
説明してくれ充分楽しめました。ランチも公園の中で頂き、天気も良かったせいかいっそう美味しく感じました。

The path was relatively flat, so there was no change. During the explanation, I was told to leave everything hanging around my neck, so I honestly put my smartphone in the locker. All the other foreigners had theirs with them, and the instructor asked, "Don't you have yours?" I explained that I was told to put it in the locker. It's a shame I couldn't capture the beautiful scenery or the riding experience. I thought there should have been better explanations.

割と平坦な道だったので、変化はありませんでした。説明時、首から掛けるとのは全て置いてくださいと言われスマホもバカ正直にロッカーに。
他の外人の方は全員持っていらして、イントストラクターの方に「あなたたちは、持ってないの？」と言われロッカーに入れろって言われたのよーと説明しました。せっかくの景色もridingも撮れず残念。説明不足。特記に書けばいいのにと思いました

I enjoyed the Honolulu Marathon as a memory with my daughter. I'm thinking of coming again next year. I hope my husband can join us next time!

ホノルルマラソンの記念に、娘と一緒に楽しめました。又来年も来ようと思ってます。今度は夫婦来れたらいいな❗️❗️

At first, I thought it might be scary, but when I actually tried it, it felt amazing and was the best! I was a bit anxious because it was only in English, but even without being able to speak English, the instructor explained things with gestures and created a great atmosphere, so I didn't feel scared at all. When I come to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate in this activity!

はじめは怖いかなと思ってましたが、実際にやってみるととても気持ちが良く最高でした！英語のみなので少し不安があったのですが、英語が出来なくてもインストラクターさんがジェスチャーとかで説明してくれたりその場の雰囲気を盛り上げてくれたので怖いという感覚があまりありませんでした。ハワイに来た際にはまたこのアクティビティに参加したいです！

This was my first time participating. Since I stayed at Hawaiian Village, it was easy to walk there, which was convenient.

I even had the time to take photos with my camera, and it was a lot of fun!

I recommend that people who are prone to seasickness take medication in advance. Not only on the boat, but paragliding itself involves being in a Cessna, which can be quite bumpy. Be sure to prepare well!

初めて参加させて頂きました。
宿泊が、ハワイアンビレッジだった事もあり、歩きで行く事ができて楽チンでした。

カメラで撮影する余裕もあり、とても楽しかったです！

船酔いしやすい人は事前に薬を飲むことをおすすめします。船だけじゃなく、パラセイリング自体はセスナに乗って乱高下している状態なので。確りと準備を！

The free hula show at the beach the day before was impressive, and I was able to enjoy the professional performance until the end. The fire show was truly surprising, and I was very satisfied to see it up close in its authentic setting. I was glad I secured a seat in the front, as the order for going to the buffet varied depending on where you sat. I had just finished my meal before the show started, so I could focus on the performance. I didn't have high expectations for the food, but it was simple yet diverse, and I was satisfied with the portion size. Thank you very much.

前日にビーチでの無料のフラを観ていたので、さすがプロの方々のショーは違うな～と感心しながら、最後まで楽しむことが出来ました。
ファイアーショーは本当にびっくりで、本場で尚且つ至近距離で観ることが出来て大満足です。
座る場所によって、ブュッフェを取りに行く順番が違うとありましたので、前方席確約にして良かったです。
ショーが始まる前にはちょうど食事が終わっていましたので、ショーに集中することが出来ました。
あまり期待していなかった食事ですが、素朴ですが多彩で、ボリュームもあって満足です。
ありがとうございました。

We were able to share wonderful memories of Hawaii as a family.
The view was amazing!! The staff was fantastic!! Parasailing was the best!!

家族でたいへん良いハワイの思い出を共有できた。
見晴らし最高！！スタッフ最高！！パラセイリング最高！！

**Review**
Due to a mix-up with the shuttle staff, I was left at Kapolei Marketplace for two and a half hours under the guise of a lunch break. Kapolei Marketplace is a rather desolate shopping mall, so there wasn't much to do, and I felt like I wasted a precious opportunity. However, the staff who came to pick me up sincerely apologized, which helped me regain my spirits and participate in the next activity. For those who will be joining in the future, please be mindful of the lunch break time and location, and don't rely solely on the external shuttle staff; make sure to confirm with the park staff as well.

**What I Liked**
The activities were thoroughly enjoyable. The zipline, obstacle course, and buggies were all engaging and didn't feel rushed. The zipline was quite standard, but the obstacle course was lengthy and made me break a sweat, and I was able to ride the buggies for a considerable amount of time.
Additionally, the staff were cheerful and kind. I had previously visited Kualoa Ranch, but the atmosphere here was far superior.

**Advice for Future Participants**
Your clothes and shoes will get quite muddy (especially from the buggies). I recommend wearing washable clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.

【感想】
　送迎スタッフの手違いでランチ休憩と称してカポレイ・マーケット・プレイスに２時間半放置されてしまいました。カポレイ・マーケット・プレイスは寂れたショッピングモールなので、ほとんどやることがなく、せっかくの時間を無駄にしたな……とは思ったのですが、迎えに来てくれたスタッフがハワイでは珍しく平謝りだったので気を取り直して次のアクティビティに参加しました。これから参加される方はランチ休憩の時間や場所には気を付けて外部の送迎スタッフに任せきりにせず、パークのスタッフにもきっちり確認を取ってくださいね。
【気に入ったところ】
　アクティビティがしっかり楽しめるところです。ジップライン、アスレチック、バギー、いずれもじっくりと楽しむことができ、あっさり終わってしまうということはありません。ジップラインはオーソドックスなものですが、アスレチックはかなり長く、汗だくになりますし、バギーもかなり長時間走ることができました。
　また、スタッフが明るく親切です。以前クアロア牧場に行ったことがあるのですが、あそことは比べものにならないほど良い雰囲気でした。
【これから参加する方へのアドバイス】
　服や靴はかなり泥だらけになります（特にバギー）。汚れても良い洗える服で行くのがおすすめです。

It was my first sunset cruise. There were not many Japanese people, and there was one staff member who spoke Japanese. The meeting point was near the Tropical Bar at the Hilton. There was a reception there, so I mentioned my reservation name, waited for about 10 minutes, took off my shoes, and then boarded the cruise.

Drinks, including alcohol, were all-you-can-drink, and there was food like bread, pasta, and salad! The weather was nice, so we got to see a really beautiful sunset! The staff were kind, and the atmosphere was very lively, typical of America! (laughs) It was quite windy and cold, so it's definitely better to bring a jacket.

初めてのサンセットクルーズでした
日本人はあまり少なく、日本語喋れるスタッフは1人いました。
集合場所がヒルトンのトロピカルバーの横？らへんでしたそこに受付があるので予約の名前を言って、10分くらい待って靴をぬぎクルーズへ入っていく感じでした。

飲み物もアルコールなど飲み放題で食べ物もパンやパスタ、サラダがありました！
天気が良かったので凄く綺麗なサンセットが見れました！
スタッフの方々も優しく、アメリカのテンションマックスでした！笑
風が強いのと寒かったので上着は絶対持ってた方がいいです。

It was worth the money.
Loved the food and the performance
Just awesome

We had really high expectations, looking at the pictures and reading some of the reviews. Unfortunately, it did not turn out anything like we had expected.
The whole thing took over 6 hours, from the time we were picked up and dropped back. Mind you the actual underwater scooter experience was just 10 minutes of these 6 hours.
We were made to wait on the boat for about 3 hours and obviously lot of people got sea sick.

I'm glad I got to see the ocean in Hawaii! I had the impression that there were many families around, and it might depend on the sea conditions, but I was a bit disappointed that there were fewer fish.

ハワイの海の中を見れてよかったです！
家族連れが多いイメージで、海のコンディションによると思うのですが、魚が少なかったのが少し残念でした。

Since it was my first time, I chose the 90m option, but I regret not going for the 150m.
You can really feel the excitement of being on a southern island, yay!
The staff was very efficient, and before I knew it, I was up in the sky.

初めてなので９０mにしましたが、１５０mにすれば良かったと後悔しています。
南の島へきたぜ、ヒャッホー！
と言う気分を味わえます。
スタッフの手際が良く、あれよあれよと言う間に空の上です。

I participated with my wife and two daughters, but it was quite difficult because my wife got drunk. The submarine itself is stable, but the waves while transferring from the shuttle boat to the submarine are quite intense. If you're not confident on boats, it's better to take motion sickness medication just in case. As for the tour, we were able to see sea turtles this time, and the kids were thrilled. What you can see depends on luck, though.

妻と娘二人で参加しましたが、妻が酔ってしまい大変でした。
潜水艦自体は安定しているんですが、送迎線から潜水艦に乗り移る間が水面のうねりが凄いです。
船に自信がある方以外は、念のため酔い止めを飲んで挑んだ方が良いです。
肝心のツアーですが、今回はウミガメも見れて子供達は大喜びでした。
何が見れるかは、運次第ですが。

On the day of departure, I was surprised to receive an email saying, "Please change the time."

The person in charge responded sincerely, and I have no complaints about that, but I don't understand why there was a change. I felt inconvenienced by having to frequently check emails on-site and communicate regarding the schedule (like the pickup) on the day of the event.

I hope you will work to prevent this from happening again, and it would be helpful if, in the event of a change, we could resolve it with just one or two email exchanges.

出発日に、「時間変更してください」
とのメールが来てびっくりしました。

担当の方は、誠実に対応してくださり、不満はないのですが、
なぜ変更なのか分からず、当日のスケジュール(ピックアップなど)の問い合わせに、頻繁に現地でメールチェックし、やり取りをしなければならない等、煩わしさを感じた事は否めません。

二度とこのような事がないよう、再発防止に努めて頂きたいのと、
変更があった場合、一往復程度のメールやり取りで済むようにしていただけると助かります。

In the morning, we used eBikes. There are options for shorter people, but it's better to be at least 140 cm tall. Also, it's not suitable for those who don't usually ride bikes or for the elderly. The speed can be quite fast, and the hills are steep. The grandmother who accompanied us was very slow and couldn't pedal up the hills, so she retired midway. The guide speaks English, but it's not a problem if you don't understand it at all.

In the afternoon, due to bad weather, we had to slightly change the kayaking course and gave up on landing on the uninhabited island. The tide and waves were quite strong. It requires considerable upper body strength, so elderly participants should think carefully.

As mentioned in reviews, the lunch was terrible.

午前中はeBIKEです。背が小さい人用もありますが、身長は140cm以上あった方がいいです。また、普段自転車に乗らない方や高齢者は不向きです。結構なスピードがでますし、坂も急です。同行したおばあちゃんは非常にペースが遅く、上り坂もこげなくて途中でリタイアしていました。英語のガイドですが理解できなくても全く問題ありません。
午後のカヤックは天候不良により少しコース変更し無人島への上陸は断念しました。潮の流れ、波とみにきつかったです。結構上半身の力が必要なので高齢者の方は熟考してください。
口コミでも散見されますが、ランチは最悪です。

The location has only a small sign, so I think most people will miss it. Even if you ask at the front desk, they might respond with "What is that?" as none of the other staff seem to know about it either. The show itself was average and felt like just another Hawaiian show that you could see somewhere else. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

場所は小さな看板しか無くまず殆どの人が見逃すと思います。フロントで場所を聞いても、それって何？と言うか他のスタッフも皆さん知らないあり様です。ショー自体も普通で何処かで見ショー内容と言うかほぼ同じハワイアンショーですね。残念ですが次は無いです。

My first time paragliding! I usually don't have good experiences with activities, but this time I was completely satisfied! The timing was smooth from the hotel, so I didn't feel stressed and was able to unwind.

生まれて初めてのパラセーリング、毎回アクテビティでいい思いがなく終わっていたが今回はすべて満足‼️時間もホテルから出て円滑に進んだのでストレスも溜まらず発散出来ました

We participated as a family of five, and at first, we were anxious because we couldn't speak English. However, our group consisted entirely of Japanese people, so we had one male staff member who could speak some Japanese, along with one male staff member and one female staff member who spoke only English. All the staff were cheerful and polite, and we enjoyed ziplining while feeling the pleasant breeze in the great outdoors. The price is somewhat high, but I believe it's necessary to operate on such a scale. I'm sure you will feel satisfied.

家族5名で参加し英語が話せないので最初は不安でしたが私達のグループは全員日本人だったので多少日本語ができる男性スタッフ1名と、英語のみ話す男性1名、女性1名のスタッフがついてくださいました。どのスタッフも明るく丁寧に接して下さり、大自然の中で気持ちの良い風を感じながらのジップラインでした。お値段は多少かかりますがこれだけの規模を運営する上では必要だと思いました。きっと満足感は得られると思います。

The children were scared at first, but they quickly became excited and had fun. Since we took motion sickness medication beforehand, there was no seasickness. I would like to do it again.

子供達も最初は怖がっていましたが、すぐに楽しくなり興奮していました。事前に酔い止め薬を服用していたので船酔いもなかったです。またやってみたいです。

Great experience. Nice location for surfing. The instructor is very nice and friendly

You have plenty of time on the submarine to fully enjoy the scenery underwater. I was able to see sharks and sea turtles! (Maybe I was just lucky.) The elementary school children also seemed to have fun looking for fish. The boat before switching to the submarine swayed quite a bit, so I noticed a few people feeling seasick before the main event. I recommend taking motion sickness precautions for those who are not confident on boats.

潜水艦に乗っている時間はたっぷりあり、海の中の景色を十分楽しめます。鮫やウミガメも見れました！（運が良かったのかも。）小学生の子どもたちも魚を探したり楽しそうでした。潜水艦に乗り換える前の船が結構揺れるので、メインイベントの前に船酔いしている人もちらほら見かけました。船に自信のない人は酔い止め対策をおすすめします。

I flew with my two children. They were thrilled to be flying higher than the birds. They said they definitely want to do it again when we come back to Hawaii.

子供と三人で飛びました。鳥より高い位置で飛べたことに、子供が感激していました。またハワイに来たら絶対やりたいと言っていました。
