Everyone else was fluent in English, but we'll manage!! It was so much fun (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o))) The photos taken with the DSLR camera are also very beautiful! You should definitely buy one!!

私たち以外、英語ペラペラでしたが
なんとかなります！！
すごく楽しかったです(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))
一眼レフのカメラで撮ってくれた写真も
とても素敵！買うべきです！！

Had a great time with Hawaiian Parasail. Pick up driver was full of information and enjoyable. Captain and first hand made the event so incredible and both were so helpful. The actual ride in the sky was a rush but so calm and beautiful! This was my second time and I would do it again in a hawaiian minute!

It's expensive. If you make a reservation on-site, it will only cost $99. Also, Hilton guests can view the model room for free. I'm very satisfied with the experience!

高いです。
現地で予約、したら９９ドルで済みます。
また、ヒルトン滞在者が現地のモデルルーム見学すれば無料で見られます。
内容は大満足ですよ！

I participated on February 24, 2016. I applied the night before as a long shot, and in the morning, I received an OK email ^o^
The driver spoke in English like a machine gun, but I couldn't understand at all; ^_^A However, it was clear that he was doing his best to guide us.
There were four groups on the boat, including us, and we were the only Japanese. We exchanged iPhones and took turns taking pictures.
I also bought an SD card. It had about 100 pictures, including the scenery. It was great.
For the 150M, it seemed we were at the same height as the others at first, and we were saying things like, "This is easy!" But then the altitude increased, and it got quite scary. But it felt good! The weather was nice, so we could see very beautiful scenery.
I was very satisfied ^o^
By the way, you need to tip both the captain of the board and the driver.

2016.02.24に参加しました。ダメ元で前日の夜に申し込んら、朝OKのメールが来ました^o^
送迎の運転手さんはなにやら英語で機関銃のように話してましたがさっぱりわからず;^_^Aでも一生懸命ガイドしてるのは伝わりました。
乗ったボートは私たち含めて4組で、日本人は私たちだけでしたが、iPhoneを交換してかわりばんこで写真を撮りました。
SDカードも買いました。景色も含めて100枚位入ってました。良かったです。
150Mは私達だけで、最初は他のひと達と同じ高さだったみたいで『余裕だねー』なんて言ってたら途中から高度が上がり、けっこう怖かったです。でも気持ち良かった！天気も良かったのでとても綺麗な景色が見れました。
とても満足しました^o^
ちなみにボードのキャプテンと送迎の運転手さんにそれぞれチップが必要です。

We had so much fun! The crew was great and the ride was fantastic. Be warned, if you get "dipped", shut your mouth - the water is very salty.

I've been diving all over the world for the past 15 years and this is by far one of my favorites. Beautiful water with greater than 50 feet of visibility. Saw seven sea turtles up close and it was just a spectacular experience. Make sure to rent the fins from the beach, worth it. Crew was knowledgeable, friendly and just all around awesome. So was the house special drink. This is a not to missed experience with a company that makes it unforgettable. They will absolutely see me again.

My girlfriend and I wanted an uncomventional experience and found these guys. the entire experience was an unforgettable journey. The crew on the boat made us feel like we were life long friends and they put safety at the top of the list. We were close to the animals and got a glimpse into their environment. If you want to get in the water and see the Sharks and truly see the marine world as it is then take this adventure. You absolutely will not regret it. I will be booking a second go on our next trip!

Dillon and Chris were the greatest. Words can't express how awesome they made our outting exciting and fun!!

We did some other snorkelling while in Hawaii and were quite disappointed. We were so glad we booked this trip to do some more. We were taken out to some deeper water and as soon as we jumped off the boat we saw multiple turtles! It was amazing. I have never seen turtles this big and so many in one spot. We spent about an hour snorkelling and then went on a sail out in the sun. The boat is quite spacious and room for groups to keep to themselves or sit with others. The staff were all very helpful and fun to have a chat to. I would definitely go out with these guys again if we return to Hawaii.

This cruise was great! Mostly because of the crew. They were friendly and knowledgeable. They watched out for your safety. The boat itself is very sturdy. There is an inside cutout that you can sit in, out of the weather if need be. I took my elderly family and they did great!!!

Saw lots of fish and sea turtles! The guides were very informative.

The Bishop Museum was amazing! I finally got to visit a place I had wanted to go to for a long time. I learned hula dancing, toured the facility, and felt like I was learning about Hawaii's roots. The kumu was kind, and it was a fulfilling day.

ビショップミュージアムサイコーかねてより行きたかったところでやっと実現しました フラダンスを習って施設見学をしてハワイのルーツを学んだ様な気持ちクムも優しく充実した1日でした

Had an awesome time on the Hilton Hawaiian Village Sunset Cocktail Sail! Josh, Masa and Brad were a very professional, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Can't wait to come back next year to do this again!

Crew was great. Really nice activity right on Waikiki beach. Wish they offered fines to snorkel with. Hard to swim in ocean with out them.

I was worried about participating alone, but I had a great time even by myself. It was my first experience with horseback riding, but all the horses were well-trained, so I was able to enjoy it without any danger. The scenery was beautiful, and it offered a sense of relaxation that was different from Waikiki.

ひとり参加で不安に思っていましたが、一人でも十分に楽しめました。
乗馬は初めてでしたが、良く調教されている馬ばかりでしたので
危険なこともなく楽しめました。
景色がきれいでワイキキとは違い癒しを味わえました

Never done this before and was kinda nervous. The guys were very professional and made this activity very fun! If I return to Hawaii this will be something I'm doing again!

Capt and crew were anazing. They were very personable and made a great relaxing sail. Food was not too heavy but enough to keep you going. Drinks were strong and delicious, overall amazing sail. Most people were either looking to go back out on the snorkeling trip or had come from it earlier in the day. That good of a sail.

I had a wonderful experience! (Experience on January 26, 2016, Japan time)

First, I was picked up by a large, open bus right in front of the hotel. Since there weren't many people on board, it felt like a private trolley, which was fun. Actually, I mistakenly booked for the next day, but when I called on that day, they kindly changed it for me, which was great.

When we arrived at the location, we showed our tickets at the counter and were taken to the boat by two young foreign men (from Hawaii?). I participated with a friend, and in addition to us, there were five Koreans, two Americans, and a family of three from Europe on board.

It seemed that up to three people could ride the parasail. The two staff members operating it were quite playful and tried to drop us into the sea at the start and end of the parasailing, which was also fun. However, if someone didn't want to get wet, they would make sure not to drop them if informed. While parasailing, we could enjoy a panoramic view of the Hawaiian scenery while feeling the sea breeze, which was very pleasant. I didn't feel scared at all; it was very comfortable and felt like a moment. We could see Diamond Head beautifully as well.

I participated during the day, but I felt that the sunset would also be beautiful in the evening.

I would definitely love to participate again!

とても素敵な体験ができました！（日本時間で、2016年1月26日体験）

まず、ホテルの前まで大きい開放的なバスでお迎えに来ていただきました。あまり乗っている人たちがいなかったため、貸切トロリーのようで、楽しかったです。
実は、日程を勘違いしおり、次の日に予約をしてしまったのですが、その日に電話をしたら、快くその日に代えて頂き、とても良かったです。

そして、現地に着くと、チケットをカウンターに見せ、２人の若い男の外国人（ハワイ出身？）に連れられ、船に乗りました。
私は友人と２人で参加だったのですが、その他に、韓国人が５人とアメリカ人が２人、あとヨーロッパから来た家族が３人乗っていました。

パラセーリングは、最高３人まで乗れるようでした。
操縦しているスタッフ２人が結構いたずら好きで、パラセールの始まりと終わりでわざと海に落とそうとするのですが、それもまた楽しかったです。しかし、濡れたくない人は、そう告げれば落とさないようにしてくれるようです。
パラセール中は、ハワイの街並みを、海風を感じながら一望でき、とても気持ちよかったです。あまり怖さは感じず、とても心地よく、一瞬のように感じました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドもきれいに見れました。
日中に参加したのですが、夕方もきれいに夕焼けが見られそうだなと感じました。

またぜひ参加したいです！

I participated with my girlfriend. Since it was winter and the rainy season, I was a bit concerned about the weather being cloudy on the day, but we were able to see such wonderful scenery that it didn't matter. We participated at 150m, and the sea was beautiful, and the sky was blue, creating a stunning view.

The two guys from Xtreme Parasail spoke in funny Japanese, making the trip to the point very enjoyable. For those who are prone to motion sickness or have a weak vestibular system, it's essential to have motion sickness medication and stay hydrated, as the boat rocks quite a bit.

When the parasailing was over, they provided a service of dragging the rope back to the boat along the water's surface (if you don't want that, just say "dry landing please!" and they'll understand), which was a lot of fun. Many people in Hawaii enjoy jet skiing and surfing, but parasailing is also a rare experience, so I highly recommend it.

Also, I'm not very good with rides like roller coasters and I'm not fond of heights, but the beauty of the scenery made it not scary at all. So, I think anyone who isn't extremely afraid of heights could probably participate at 150m. I believe the view is likely better than at 110m or 130m.

It would be even better if you could capture the scenery with a camera. If you're using an iPhone, I recommend a waterproof case like Lifeproof, and for cameras, a GoPro (the people from Xtreme Parasail said "GoPro is awesome") is recommended. Make sure to securely attach a strap to your wrist or hang it around your neck to avoid dropping it.

彼女と2人で参加しにいきました。冬であり雨季ということもあり、当日の天気はやや曇りが多くどうかな、と思っていましたがそんなことはそっちのけの素晴らしい景色を観ることができました。150mでの参加でしたが、海は綺麗で空も青くとても美しい景色でした。

Xtreme Parasailのお兄さん2人は面白い日本語で喋ってくれて、ポイントに行くまでも非常に楽しかったです。乗り物酔いをしやすい人や三半規管が弱い人は酔い止めや水分が必須です。船がとても揺れます。

パラセーリングが終わった際に船までロープを戻してくれる時水面を引きずってくれるサービスもしてくれて(したくない人はdry landing please!といえば伝わる)とても面白いです。ハワイではジェットスキーやサーフィンなどをする人が多いですが、パラセーリングも滅多にできることがないので是非おすすめです。

また、自分はあまりジェットコースターなどの乗り物が得意ではなく高い所も苦手ですが、あまりの景色の良さに全然怖くなかったです。なので極度の高所恐怖症の方以外であれば恐らく150mでも参加できると思います。110mや130mよりもおそらく景色がよく見えると思います。

またカメラに景色を収めることができればより良いと思います。iPhoneであればLifeproofなどの防水ケース、カメラであればGoPro(XtremeParasailの人たちはGoPro is awesomeと言っていました)がオススメだと思います。落とさないようにしっかり手首にヒモをつけたり首からぶらさげてくださいね。

It was our first experience, and we didn't understand any English at all. We didn't know what was going on at the reception, but they showed us how to operate in Japanese, so we managed to check in somehow! We didn't understand the explanations at all, but we made it through. The staff were kind and friendly! There are no lockers, so it's best to go with minimal luggage! The drive was actually about 30 minutes. But it was fun! I want to participate again!

My first horseback riding experience! It was fun! It was drizzling a bit, but...

The horse was bigger than I expected, which surprised me, but it was fine! Along the way, I received various guidance, and the garlic shrimp for lunch was delicious!

初の乗馬！楽しかったです！小雨でしたが...

思ったより馬は大きく、ビックリしましたが、大丈夫でした！
途中、イロイロ案内して頂きながら向かい、ランチのガーリックシュリンプが美味しかったですー！

I experienced this with my mother.
The 9 AM session had beautiful weather! It felt really nice.
There were a total of six groups, including both Japanese and foreign participants.
The waiting time wasn't too bothersome, as the weather was so nice, and just being on the ride felt good.
I thought the timing for each group was a bit vague. The first group felt the longest, but the rest seemed about the same.
I didn't check names or heights at all. Haha, I think that's just the foreign quality, so I'm not dissatisfied.
The parasailing itself was not scary at all, and time passed gracefully. I even got a bit bored. Haha.
Since I was there, I ordered the $30 photos, but they were so poorly done that it was laughable!
Of course, I looked at the CD-ROM I bought after returning home, and it was quite disappointing.
They took the photos with a digital single-lens reflex camera, but the focus was completely off, and the close-up shots had poor resolution, resulting in blurry pictures. Haha.
Some of the photos were just random and not worth anything. Haha. I consider this part of the foreign quality and a good memory, but I hope everyone manages their expectations (though I think it's nice as a keepsake since you can't take those photos yourself!).
I would recommend purchasing them!

母と体験してきました。
朝９時の回で晴天！とても気持ち良かったです。
参加者は日本人と外国の方計６組。
順番待ちもそれほど嫌にならないほど、とても天気が良く乗ってるだけでも気持ち良かったです。
各組の時間が曖昧だとは思いました。
一番手の方が一番長く感じましたが、後は一緒だったかな。
名前も高さも一切確認してませんでしたし。笑　そこは外国クオリティーだと思ってるので不満ではありません。
肝心のパラセーリングは全く怖さもなく、優雅な感じで時間が過ぎてゆきました。ちょっと飽きたくらい。笑
で、せっかくなので３０ドルの写真を頼んだのですが、これが下手すぎてわらけました！
もちろん自宅に帰ってから買ったＣＤロムも見たのですが、なんとも、まぁ残念な仕上がり。
一眼デジカメで撮っていただいたのですが、ピントが全然あってないし、近くで撮っていただいたのも解像度が悪いのか、ボケーーーとしてる写真でした。笑
何枚かどうでも良い写真も混ざってたり笑。これも外国クオリティーと思って良い思い出ですが、みなさまもあまり期待せず、（しかし、自分では撮れないので記念ではいいと思いますよ！）
購入していただければと思いました！

I'm not sure I can go to another zip line spot after experiencing Climb works zip tour. Amazing views, fun zips, great hosts/guides, a learning experience... definitely living up to the acronym that they use as their motto. Have already recommended to friends and family.

On our first trip to Hawaii together, we decided to try parasailing, which he had previously experienced and found very enjoyable! The other guests on the boat included another Japanese couple and two groups of foreigners. The guide was, as everyone has mentioned, super handsome! (laughs) He seemed to be quite familiar with putting on life jackets and efficiently helped us with his limited Japanese. However, the emergency instructions were almost entirely in English, so while the foreigners nodded along, we Japanese guests had to rely on gestures for information, which made us a bit anxious about participating.

That said, they did explain the minimum safety precautions in Japanese, such as where to hold on and what not to do while flying, so we were ultimately able to enjoy it safely!

When we finally took off, it was so high!! We chose the 150m option, and it was far beyond what we had imagined. Even for someone like me who loves thrill rides, it was thrilling enough to be a little scary! He mentioned that the height was completely different from the parasailing he had done before, and by the end, he was repeatedly saying, "Let me down!!" with a pale face... (laughs)

Since we were in swimsuits, we also got splashed when we fell into the water (the water came up to about our chests), and we felt like we spent much longer in the air than the other guests, which made us very satisfied!

We purchased the commemorative photos for $30, and upon looking at them, we found many wonderful shots, including one with a plane flying above us, and there was even a video included, so we were glad we bought them.

I’m giving it four stars because he was more scared than expected and all the instructions were in English, but I think the breathtaking views from above and that thrill are definitely something everyone should experience at least once!

彼との初めてのハワイ旅行で、以前彼が体験してとても楽しかったというパラセイリングに挑戦しました！船に同乗したお客さんは、私達ともう一組が日本人であと二組は外国人の方でした。ガイドのお兄さんは、皆さんが書かれているように超イケメン！(笑)ライフジャケット等の装着にも慣れているようで、片言の日本語でテキパキと装着してくれました(^^♪ただ、緊急時？の注意事項はほぼほぼ（というかすべて）英語だったので、外国人の方はうんうんと頷いて聞いていましたが私達日本人はジェスチャーしか情報が無く、少し不安なままの参加となりました。
とはいえ掴むところや、してはいけないことなど、飛ぶ際の最低限の注意は日本語でも説明してくれるので結果的には安全に楽しむことができました♪
いざ飛んでみたら、、高いのなんの！！私達は150ｍを選んだのですが、想像をはるかに超える高さで、絶叫系が大好きな私でも少し怖いくらいのスリルが味わえて最高でした！彼は、以前体験したパラセイルとは高さが段違いだったようで、後半は「もう降ろして！！」と真っ青な顔で連呼していました・・（笑）
水着を着ていたので海ポチャもしてくれたり（割と胸あたりまで水がかかります）、上空での時間も他の方たちよりもだいぶ長く感じて大満足でした！
記念の写真も＄30で購入しましたが、見てみると丁度上空を飛んでいた飛行機と一緒に撮ってくれるなど素敵な写真が多かったり、ムービーまで添付されていたので買ってよかったです。
彼が想像以上に怖がっちゃったのと、注意事項がすべて英語だった点で☆４つとさせていただきますが、なかなか見る事のできない上空からの生の絶景とあのスリルは、ぜひ一度経験してみるべきだと思います！

The wind was strong and it shook quite a bit. I was terrified at the thought of this rope breaking. However, the view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head in the distance from above was amazing.

風が強くて結構揺れた。
このロープが切れたらと思ったら恐怖でした。
でも、上空から見えるワイキキビーチ遠くに見えるダイヤモンドヘッドの景色は最高でした。

I really looked fwd to seeing a magnificent show under water of the colorful fish that swim in the area. I just sat on the wrong side of the SUB. Who knew????

I went with high expectations, but unfortunately, it rained.
Our guide was Yano.
We participated with five Japanese people who didn't understand English, but Yano's talk kept us smiling the whole time.
After some back-and-forth communication, we arrived at the port.
We checked in and boarded the boat. We got pretty wet at departure due to the rain, but once we headed out to sea, it was clear skies!
The speed was quite thrilling!
Now, onto the main event, the parasailing—it was simply amazing! I was a bit anxious at first, but once I was up in the air, it was silent, the wind was pleasant, and the view was breathtaking. I felt like I understood a bit of what it’s like to be a bird.
There was a little surprise at the end, and I was impressed by that technique as well.
It was so much fun that it ended in no time!
The boat was more frightening than being up in the sky because it was rocking!
The staff were kind, and I had a wonderful time!
I will definitely come back again!

かなり期待して行きました。残念ながら雨。
送迎の方はYANOさん
英語がわからない日本人5人で参加しましたが、YANOさんのトークで終始笑顔。
かたことですが色々とやりとりしていたら港に到着。
受付してボートへ。出発時は雨で結構濡れましたが、沖へ出ると快晴！
結構スピード出すのでスリル満点です！
で、本題のパラセイルですが、とにかく素晴らしい‼︎最初は不安でしたが、空に上がれば無音で風も心地良く絶景。鳥の気持ちが少しわかった気がします。
最後に少しサプライズがありましたが、そのテクニックにも感激。
楽しすぎたからかあっという間に終わってしまいました。
ボートが揺れるので空の上より怖いです！
スタッフの方々も優しく素晴らしい時間を過ごせました！
リピ間違いなしです‼︎‼︎

I wanted to head out to the North Shore, but did not want to sit on a stodgy bus all day and listen to someone drone on and on. The Surf Bus was the PERFECT choice since I not only got to experience the highlights of the area, but got to do some fun activities as well.

I decided to do Snorkeling, the Waimea Falls nature walk and SUP. Harry was very accommodating about squeezing in two activities for the morning section, and I am so happy that he did. The snorkeling was AMAZING! It was literally like swimming in an aquarium. I got to be in the water for a little over an hour and then I was picked up to go to Waimea Falls Park. The walk was quite easy, and if you have a hard time walking, shuttles are available for $10 round-trip at the park. I didn't go into the water since I just wanted to sit and relax, but the walk to and from the waterfall was about 45 minutes total. REALLY beautiful.

For my afternoon, I chose SUP and even though I had never done it before, I figured it out pretty quickly after the briefing from the guys at the surf store. I never quite made it to the "stand up" part of "stand up paddling", but my "sit up" paddle was just as fun and I made it all the way down the river.

With about an hour left before I had to meet the bus, I had a delicious burger and fries at Teddy's Bigger Burger and washed that all down with some shave ice from Matsumotos (lychee and strawberry YUM!). All in all, a great experience and wonderful way to see the best of the North Shore in a day :)

The weather was great, and it took about an hour by rental car from Honolulu. They guided us on time for our 10:30 reservation. The horses were very well-behaved, and at first, I was worried about what would happen if they wandered off, but the guide assigned to our group skillfully led the horses, so there was no need to worry at all! The horses walked slowly, and we were completely satisfied after an hour of enjoying the mountains, sea, and forest. I gained a good understanding of the difficulty of riding. They also took photos of us riding, which were a bit pricey at $15, but I ended up buying them for the family as a keepsake. It was a very enjoyable experience. The hamburgers were delicious too!

天気にも恵まれ、ホノルルからレンタカーで約1時間。10時半からの予約で時間通りに案内してくれました。
お馬さん達はとってもお利口で、勝手にどこかに行ったらどうするんだろうと最初は不安でしたが、一グループに一人つく船頭の方が馬達を上手に導き全く心配なし！
お馬さんたちは、ゆっくりと歩き、山、海、森林を見ながら1時間で十分に満足でした。
乗馬で走ることの難しさが十分に理解できました。
乗馬した写真も撮ってくれていて、15＄と高めでしたが、やはり記念にと家族分買ってしまいました。
とても楽しい体験でした。ハンバーガーも美味しかったですよ。

I participated this time with two colleagues from my company. S-san, who guided us (I'll keep the name confidential just in case), provided really attentive service! They explained the highlights of each area clearly, and we had a great time! Thank you for your help at the garlic shrimp restaurant in Haleiwa until we placed our order.

On the way back, we were able to get off at Ala Moana Shopping Center if we wanted, which saved us time and was very appreciated since our stay was short.

The guidance was very thorough, so I recommend it for first-time visitors to Hawaii!☆

今回会社の同期と３人で参加させて頂きました。
案内して下さったSさん(念のためお名前は伏せさせて頂きます)がもうほんとにきめ細やかな対応をして下さって！！
各エリアの見どころなどもわかりやすくお話頂き、とても楽しめました！
ハレイワのガーリックシュリンプのお店ではオーダー時までヘルプ頂き、ありがとうございます。

帰りも希望があればということでアラモアナショッピングセンターで下車させて頂き、時間の節約が出来たのは滞在日数が短い我々にとっては有難かったです。

とても丁寧に案内して頂けるので、初ハワイの方にもオススメです☆
