This was my first time booking an optional tour abroad from Japan, so I was filled with anxiety, but I was very relieved when they came to pick me up on time. There were four groups participating, including myself, a Japanese newlywed couple, and two other groups, and the two staff members created a very friendly and homey atmosphere. By the way, they only spoke English.
The height of 120 meters was surprising, and the duration was unexpectedly long and enjoyable! The view was amazing! Lastly, since you will definitely get splashed with water, I think it's better to wear a swimsuit.
海外のオプショナルツアーに対して事前に日本から予約していく事が初めてだったので不安だらけだったのですが、当日時間通りに迎えに来てくれとても安心しました。私を含め日本人の新婚さんと他2組の計4組で参加をしたのですが、担当の方2人がとても気さくでアットホームな雰囲気を作ってくれました。ちなみにどちらも英語のみです。
120m高い,,,(笑)時間も意外に長くて面白かった!景色最高!最後におきまりの水にばしゃんされるので水着は着て行った方が良いと思います。

Had a great time swimming with the sharks even though it was in a cage. It was a little windy and the waves were rocking the boat so make sure you can take the rough waters. One got really sick from the motion but only one. It was really fun and well worth it. These sharks were very docile but swam by gracefully for some really good picture taking. I nor anyone on the boat ever felt unsafe swimming with the sharks. So much fun.

The pickup time was set for 9:40, so while I was getting ready at the hotel, I received a call in the lobby at 8:40 saying that the parasailing vehicle had arrived. I hurriedly got ready, thinking I might have made a mistake, and went to the pickup location. When I handed over the paper, it stated 9:40, but I was told to just get in the car, and the parasailing started right away. Fortunately, I was almost ready, but I felt sorry for causing delays for the other participants. I don't know where the mistake happened, but I hope they won't schedule it an hour early again. The parasailing itself was fun.
ピックアップ時刻が9:40になっていたので、ホテルで準備をしていたら8:40にロビーから部屋まで連絡がありました。パラセーリングの車が来ていると。自分が間違っていたかもしれないと急いで準備しピックアップ場所まで行きました。その時紙を渡す時9:40と書いていたのにそのまま車に乗ってと言われそのままパラセーリングも開始されました。準備がほとんど終わっていたのでよかったものの、結果的に他の参加者の方にも遅れた事で迷惑をかけてしまい申し訳なかったです。どこで間違いがあったのかわかりませんが、1時間も早いのは辞めて欲しいなと思いました。パラセーリング自体は楽しかったです。

The tour guide spoke only in English, but it was fine since we just had to follow along. It was a standard plan, but we were able to see quite closely. There was a lot of talking, so I think it would have been more enjoyable if I understood English better. The fire dance was impressive with a large crowd. The food was typical buffet fare, and the only traditional Hawaiian dish was kalua pork. If you're not specifically looking for Hawaiian cuisine, it was enjoyable enough.
ツアーガイドは英語のみですが、付いていくだけなので問題はありませんでした。スタンダードプランでしたが、結構近くで見れました。トークが多いですので、英語が解ればより楽しめたと思います。ファイアーダンスは大勢で迫力がありました。料理は一般的なビュッフェ料理で、ハワイ伝統料理はカルーアポークくらいでした。ハワイ料理が目的でなければ、十分楽しめる内容でした。

We participated during our honeymoon. Since neither of us speaks much English, having a Japanese guide was very helpful. Also, it was nice that the local staff spoke clearly, possibly because many Japanese people were participating.
As for the content, we were able to see turtles, beautiful corals, and colorful fish, which made us very satisfied.
However, it was unfortunate that the weather on the day was very cold due to strong winds and rain.

I participated in the morning session. I was picked up at the hotel. Most of the participants were honeymoon couples. Upon arriving at the port and heading to the sandbar by boat, we went turtle watching. There were so many sea turtles that I couldn't believe it!
After arriving at the sandbar, we took photos and went snorkeling. The sea was truly beautiful and mesmerizing. However, it was a bit cold since it was in the morning.
Afterward, we enjoyed sandwiches and snacks made by the tour guide on the boat. The light meal after coming out of the water tasted delicious. We arrived back at the hotel around 11:30. I was able to use my time meaningfully!

A few weeks ago, I made a reservation here and participated in the activity. The shuttle bus arrived right on time in front of our hotel. Perhaps because it was early in the morning, there were only four of us, including ourselves. The two women we were with mentioned that they would be returning to their home country a few hours later, and they were advised to be careful not to drop anything in the sea. It was great that the staff confirmed this with everyone.
After arriving at the port, we boarded the boat, and while we were swaying with the waves, we put on life jackets. I think it would be smoother if you change into clothes that you don't mind getting wet before this point. All luggage is stored under the boat seats. We brought a digital camera and had a smartphone in a waterproof case hanging around our necks, ready to go.
Before taking off, I entrusted the digital camera to the two women we were with, and they took photos while we were flying. I’m not sure if this is why, but there were no sales of the photo data mentioned in other reviews.
The boat's swaying (which was probably intentional, haha) was fine, but I got really seasick while flying, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication in advance.
The view while flying was as wonderful as others have said. The two women we were with were very kind and gentle, and all the staff were cheerful and friendly, making for a very enjoyable time.
数週間前にこちらで予約し、参加してきました。
宿泊先のホテル前に時間ぴったりに送迎バスが到着。朝早い時間だったからか自分達を含め合計4人だけでした。
一緒だったお二人の女性は、数時間後には帰国されるとのことで、海に落とさないようにお伝えされていました。スタッフさんが全員に確認されていたのが良かったです。
港に着いてしばらくしてからボートに乗り、波に揺られて移動している間に、救命胴衣などが装着されていきました。この時までに濡れて困る服などの着替えを済ませておくとスムーズに進むと思います。荷物は全てボート座席下に収納します。自分達はデジカメを持ち、防水ケースに入れたスマホを首にかけてスタンバイ。
飛ぶ前に、一緒だったお二人にデジカメを託し、飛んでいる間の写真を撮って頂きました。そのためかどうかわかりませんが、他の方の口コミにかかれている撮影データの販売はありませんでした。
ボートの揺れ(恐らく敢えて揺らされています笑)は大丈夫でしたが、飛んでいる間に酷く酔いましたので、酔いやすい方は予め酔いどめを飲んでおく方が良いと思います。
飛んでいるときの景色は他の方も仰っているようにすばらしかったです。一緒だったお二人はとても親切で優しく、スタッフの方は皆さん明るく親切でとても楽しい時間になりました。

I thought it would be a lot scarier than it was, but parasailing was actually quite relaxing! I went tandem with the friend on the 1,000-ft line and boy do you go high up! Looking at Waikiki, it seemed like we were higher than all the skyscrapers.
The crew was really awesome, too, cracking jokes to make us feel more at ease. You can choose how wet you want to get, and we chose to get dipped up to our necks. I was pretty impressed with how well they were able to handle the boat and the sail, as you can also choose to have a completely-dry landing.
This is an experience I recommend to everyone, and the guys at Hawaiian Parasail definitely earned their tip!

The time spent diving was somewhat long, but the content was poor. The experience was quite lacking. First of all, there was no algae at all, not even a fragment. The diving location was just moving back and forth among artificial reefs, and there were only a few small fish and occasionally some larger ones. The only lively one in there was the guide (who was overacting). They should prioritize increasing the fish population first. It seems that feeding them might not be possible, but there should be some method available.
潜水している時間は、多少長かったが内容は、お粗末である。
あまりにも内容が寂しい。まず、藻が全く無いし欠片さえ見えない。
潜水している場所も、人工の岩礁の中を行き来しているだけで
岩礁の中には大きな魚がたまにと、小さな魚が少しいるだけである。
中で元気なのは、案内している親父さんだけである。(演技し過ぎ)
まずは、魚を増やす事を最優先で考えるべきである。

Before we started, I was wondering if we would be pulled from the sea or if we would just drop into the water! I was really nervous, but as the boat picked up speed, we smoothly lifted off from the deck. The weather was great, and the view from the sky was amazing—it was the best experience. It seems that up to three people can go together, so it was perfect that my family of three could enjoy it together.
始める前は、海の中から引っ張られるのかな?とか、降りる時は海にドボン!なのかな?とか、ドキドキでしたが、船がスピードを上げたかと思うと、船のデッキからスーッと浮かび上がりました。天気も良かったので、空からの眺めが素晴らしく、最高でした。3人まで一緒にできるみたいで、ちょうど家族3人で一緒にできて良かったです。

It might be a bit pricey since it's a place you can't visit on your own. The sandbar is natural, so depending on the time, it can be deep (laughs). However, it was a fun and reassuring tour that offered a different kind of enjoyment compared to Waikiki. Thank you very much.

Two years ago, I had a disappointing experience due to the worst weather when I participated. This time, I made sure to check the low tide. Now, all I needed was good weather!
When I left Japan, there was a rain forecast for Kaneohe, so I hesitated to cancel, but I decided to go for it and headed to Hawaii without canceling. By the time I arrived in Hawaii, the weather in Kaneohe had cleared up! I thought maybe this could turn out well as I boarded the bus and set off.
The water level was higher than I expected, but I was blessed with clear skies and was able to have my revenge. Since it was my second time, I didn't snorkel and just took a lot of photos. The water was so clear that I was able to see several sea turtles, and I was able to make my wishes. I highly recommend going when the water level is low.

The meeting place was hard to find, and I ended up wandering the beach for about ten minutes, which made me late, but it wasn't a problem. There was a staff member sitting near a banner that I saw in other people's posted photos. I was asked to write something in English, but I wasn't sure what to write, so I just wrote my name, and it seemed to be fine.
Around 9 o'clock, the cruiser arrived and we departed. I was the only Japanese person; the others were several families from overseas. There was an explanation in English, and while I couldn't catch everything, I understood the general idea of how to put on the life jacket and what to do in case of an emergency. I was given a life jacket and a mask, but I didn't receive fins; perhaps I could have borrowed them if I had asked. I found it cumbersome, so I just swam without them.
We quickly spotted sea turtles, and they were quite close. Two turtles came up for air right in the middle of about ten people swimming, which was very exciting. If I looked closely, I could also see several turtles on the seabed.
There weren't many types of fish, but there were plenty of them. The crew threw food from the cruiser, so the fish swam quite close. I got too excited and tired after about 30 minutes and climbed back onto the cruiser. Still, I was satisfied with how many sea turtles I saw. Others were taking breaks and swimming for quite a long time, enjoying their time freely.
However, in the latter part, I brought this upon myself; I got too excited and tired, and I had inflated my life jacket too much, which pressed on my stomach, combined with forgetting to take motion sickness medication, and I ended up feeling quite nauseous. A kind staff member noticed and brought me some water.
The weather was nice, and while I was enjoying the beautiful scenery during the cruise, I eventually felt better. If I had taken the motion sickness medication, it could have been an even more amazing memory. Even though the weather was good, there was some wind, so I was glad I brought a long-sleeved jacket and a large towel.
The staff couldn't speak Japanese, but when they realized I didn't understand, they communicated with gestures, and they were all kind and cheerful people. I have done snorkeling a few times, so I was okay, but since the time at the turtle spot felt quite free, it might be a bit anxiety-inducing for first-timers. However, if I have the chance to go to Waikiki again, I would like to participate once more.
集合場所が分かりづらくって10分浜辺をウロウロした為遅刻したのですが、問題はなかったです。
他の人の投稿写真にあった垂れ幕の近くに椅子に座ったスタッフさんがいました。
英語で何か書いてと言われたんですが、よくわからずとりあえず名前を書いたんですが、大丈夫そうでした。
9時ごろクルーザーが来て出発。日本人は私一人でした。他は海外の家族が何組かいました。英語で説明があり、全部とは言えませんがなんとなくライフジャケットのつけ方と緊急時の呼び方を言ってると分かりました。ライフジャケットとマスクは渡されたのですが、フィンが渡されず、言えば貸してもらえたのかもしれません。私は邪魔なのでそのまま泳ぎました。
ウミガメはすぐ見つかりました。しかも、かなり近いです。2匹が息継ぎのために10人ほど人が泳いでいる真ん中にあがってきて、とても興奮しました。目をこらすと海底でもウミガメが数匹確認できました。
種類は少ないですが魚もいっぱいいます。クルーザーから餌を投げてくれるので、かなり近くに泳いでます。
はしゃぎすぎて30分弱で疲れてクルーザーに上がりました。それでも充分ウミガメが見れて、満足できました。他の人は休み休み入ったり。かなり長く泳いでたりと自由に過ごしていました。
ただ、後半自業自得なのですが、はしゃぎすぎて疲れたのと、ライフジャケット空気を入れすぎて胃が圧迫されたのと、酔い止め薬を飲み忘れたのが重なって、かなり気持ち悪くなってしまいました。優しいスタッフが気付いてお水をくれました。
天気が良く、クルージングのとても良い景色を見ていたら、最後は復活しましたが、酔い止め薬飲んでおけば、本当に最高の思い出になったかもしれません。
天気は良くても風などがあるので、長袖の上着と大きめのタオルを持って行ってよかったです。
スタッフさんは日本語話せないのですが、私がわかってないとわかると身振りや手ぶりで伝えてくれて、優しいくて陽気な人たちばかりでした。
私はシュノーケリングは何回かしたことがあるので大丈夫でしたが、ウミガメがいるスポットについて、ただ自由時間って感じなので、初めての人にはちょっと不安が多いかもしれません。
でも、私はワイキキに行くことがあったら、また参加したいなと思いました。
