We decided to parasail the day before our wedding which was on 12.13.14 for some nice views and exhilarating activity. We had gotten mixed opinions about parasailing initially where a friend stated it was "boring and you just hang there" and we almost didn't do it, but glad we did! It was really fun! the staff was accommodating and friendly and gave precise instructions and made it fun and maintained safety along with it. Highly recommend! The fact our boat was named the Class bum made it even better!

Crew was awesome,gave us subway, had great snorkeling gear and saw multiple turtles and a whale...definitely do it again

I participated in the 120m jump. The conversation was mainly in English, but they spoke some broken Japanese, which made it enjoyable. There were five groups participating, with two groups being foreigners and three groups being Japanese. The three foreigners jumped first, followed by us. The moment we jumped was scary, but once we were up, there was little shaking, and I was moved by the stunning panorama around Waikiki. We took photos and videos among ourselves as Japanese. I also purchased a $30 photo as a keepsake. After purchasing, they provided a longer service with the soap.

The pickup was a bit late (maybe around 10 minutes?), but I received a call at the hotel front desk saying they would arrive soon, so there were no issues. However, I felt a bit nervous, and since there was a language barrier, I will give it four stars.

１２０ｍで参加しました。会話は基本英語ですが、一部カタコトの日本語はしゃべってくれるので、楽しめました。５組参加しており、２組が外人さん、３組が日本人でした。最初に３人の外人が飛び、次に私たちでした。飛び出す瞬間は怖かったんですが、上がってしまえば揺れも少なく、ワイキキ付近の大パノラマで感動しました。写真や動画は同じ日本人同士で撮り合いました。３０ドルの写真も記念に購入しました。購入したらジャボンを長めにサービスしてくれました。
送迎が少し（10分ぐらいかな？）遅れましたが、ホテルのフロントにもうすぐ来ると電話が掛かってきて、問題ありませんでした。でも、どきどきしたのと、日本語が通じないので星４つにします。

This was a truly awesome experience. We had Sam as a driver and he was totally great. He navigated traffic well and all of his narrating was necessary, funny and enjoyable.
We had a slight problem in that we missed our pick up (oops!) but the company was helpful and told us where to go to get another pick up.
We did some bike riding in the morning, saw Pipeline and had a great time. In the afternoon we tried SUP and saw turtles! It was a fully awesome experience. So good getting out and SEEING the North Shore, not just taking pictures of it.

It was awesome and lots of fun. Thanks, we had a hard time finding the place because the address is just general so maybe you could be more specific on your address and directions, but once we found it was very fun. we rode the boat out there and there was 10 of us and we were the third ones to go and we went 800 feet and some went 300 feet and some 600 feet and some 1200 feet. next time I will go 1200 feet and stay up there longer because it seemed a little short going on the 800 feet level I think the 1200 feet stayed up a lot longer than us. we saw a turtle in the water and I wonder if the boat hits them sometimes but the driver said no. Thanks

We loved this tour, was fantastic!
It was a perfect way to know more about Hawaii!!!
Our guides were the best!
All in these tour is perfect and highly recommended!

My first trip to Hawaii! I came here for my honeymoon as well! After the ceremony, I thought it would be a great memory, so my whole family enjoyed the Hilton Luau Show Dinner together. The energy and excitement were incredible, and we all started off with a lot of fun. There were traditional dishes, and the food was delicious, catering to Japanese tastes! The intense dancers were really impressive!

初めてのハワイ旅行！ハネムーンも兼ねて今回来ました！挙式終わりの後に記念になると思い、家族皆でヒルトンルアウショーディナーを楽しみました。
勢いと迫力が凄く、皆で騒ぎながら始まり、伝統料理もあるし、ご飯の味も日本人向けで美味しい！
激しいダンサーの踊りがかっこ良かったです！

I was looking for a snorkeling tour and chose this one that departs from the beach in Waikiki. It's very convenient as the meeting point is just a short walk from the hotel! We were the only Japanese participants, but the cheerful staff created a friendly atmosphere. Although there weren't many fish while snorkeling, I had the precious experience of swimming with a turtle, which became a great memory. After about an hour of snorkeling, we sailed for about an hour off the coast of Waikiki, encountering a pod of dolphins and enjoying a unique experience that is hard to find in Japan. My husband caught a cold and couldn't go snorkeling, but he seemed satisfied with the sailing. Since fins are not available for rent, it's better to bring your own if you have them. The reason I didn't give it five stars is that although we had photos taken and purchased them, the subjects were too dark due to backlighting. However, since we were well taken care of, I bought them as a tip.

シュノーケリングできるツアーを探していたところ、ワイキキの浜辺から出発できるこちらのツアーを選びました。移動時間をかけずにホテルから歩いてすぐの集合場所でとても楽ちん！日本人の参加者は自分たちだけだったが、陽気なスタッフでなごやかな雰囲気で過ごすことができました。シュノーケルは魚はあまりいなかったが、カメと一緒に泳ぐという貴重な体験ができてよい思い出になりました。。１時間程のシュノーケルの後、ワイキキの沖を１時間ほどヨットでセーリングをし、イルカの群れと遭遇したり日本ではなかなか体験できない時間を過ごし寄港。主人は風邪をひいてしまいシュノーケリングはできなかったが、セーリングを楽しめて満足の様子でした。フィンはレンタルできないので持っている人は持参したほうがよいです。星５ではないのは、写真をとってもらい購入したのですが、逆光で人物が真っ暗だった。でも、よくしてもらったので、チップ代わりに購入しました。

It exceeded our expectations! We initially planned to visit the Polynesian Cultural Center because we wanted to see a luau show that wasn't touristy. However, with a short stay of 4 nights and 6 days, the PCC was a bit too far. One of my friends suggested that since the luau show at the Hilton is at a hotel, we could expect good food as well, so we decided to participate in the Star Light Luau Show, prioritizing time efficiency. I think it was wonderful. The buffet-style meal was, of course, great, and the staff's welcoming attitude, service, and the show itself were all very satisfying and of high quality. The beauty of the sunset time was also lovely.

期待以上でした！
観光化されていないルアウショーを見たかった私たちは、はポリネシアンカルチャーセンターを当初予定していました。
しかし、4泊6日という短い滞在日程で、PCCは少し遠すぎます。
そこで、友達の一人が、ヒルトンのルアウショーなら、ホテルってこともあり、食事も期待できる？と提案し、時間短縮重視でスターライトルアウショーに参加することにしました。
いやぁ～、素晴らしかったと思います。ブッフェスタイルの食事はもちろんのこと、出迎えのスタッフの対応や、サービス、そして肝心のショーもとても満足のいくもので、質が高かったともいます。サンセットタイムの美しさもまた素敵でした。

We had a blast! Took the 8 minute ride and throughly enjoyed ourselves. The views were awesome, the crew was fun, and overall would highly recommend it. We did purchase the pictures, taken by the crew, for $10 after, typically I don't purchase things like this post activity, however the price was fair and the pictures were very good. I also liked the fact that the entire experience didn't consume our entire day or afternoon. We took advantage of their transportation, hotel pickup, which was also entertaining. Greg was an excellent driver, courteous, and very friendly. Overall was an excellent experience and well worth the money/time. Thanks!

Short and accurate recommendation...my wife said "that was totally worth getting seasick for!"

Take dramamine and have a great trip.

I recommend watching from the front. The fire show, in particular, was impressive and amazing. Overall, it has a strong impact. The food is average.

一番前で見るのがおすすめです。とくにファイアーショーが迫力あり最高でした。全体的に迫力があります。食事は普通です。

I could clearly see that the staff is committed to safe operations. If you're going to board, it might be better to choose a time in Japanese. I think discussions about fish names and history are better in Japanese than in English. It was interesting to see sea turtles, rays, and sharks under the sunken ship. Unlike an aquarium, you can truly enjoy the depth of the ocean.

安全運行をスタッフが心がけているのが良くわかりました。
搭乗するなら、日本語の時間帯が良いかも。魚の名前や歴史の話など英語よりも日本語がいいと思います。
ウミガメやエイ、沈没船の下にいる鮫など面白かったです。
水族館と違い、奥行きのある海の中が堪能できます。

It was decent. It seems they made adjustments to the schedule and route due to a sudden rain shower. Just like in Japan, you can enjoy a gallop and a brisk pace. I think it would have been even more enjoyable if I could speak English.

まずまずでした。にわか雨に逢ったので時間短縮・コース変更をしたようです。
日本での外乗同様、駆け足、速足ができるので楽しめます。英語を話せたらもっと楽しめたと
思いました。

I was worried I might cry since it was my first time interacting with a horse, but I enjoyed it without any problems. There were various animals (birds, goats, cows, sheep, etc.), and the horses were friendly, so I felt safe touching them.

初めて馬にふれるので泣くかと心配しましたが問題無く楽しんでいました。
いろいろの生き物（鳥、ヤギ、牛、ひつじなど）がいるし、馬が人馴れしているので安心して
触れることが出来ました。

This was a great experience. It was our first time and my boyfriends first time being in Hawaii. He definitely enjoyed himself. Our service was great since the beginning when trying to get a date to parasail. It was a last minute thing and they squeezed us in perfectly. As soon as we get there they're all welcoming as I hurry to get paperwork done. Then we took off and our instruction guys were awesome very energetic and made us comfortable. We were nervous at first as our adrenaline rose watching the first couple, but then I just couldn't wait to get up there. We're up and again I become nervous we take off and get up there boom we're up high a little scary but a great feeling. We both enjoyed the scenery and just each other even more. Great experience a MUST do especially in beautiful hawaii.

We went parasailing with Hawaiian Parasail during our vacation in Hawaii. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend this to anyone who is going to Hawaii. We were picked up right on time. We arrived at the boat and were given brief instructions, after which we set off in the boat. Although we were all slightly nervous, the staff did a great job of setting us at ease and explaining what to expect. Soon thereafter, we were in the sky and getting a great view of Hawaii. We also had the opportunity to get pictures taken.
Overall a great and fun experience.

Great time - fun and professional crew, equipment in good condition.

This was my first time parasailing, and I didn't know what to expect. It was a windy day, so I was worried that I would swing in large arcs. Since I was by myself, the crew told me that I had to go with the other girls on the boat, which I was more than okay with. Once I was in the air, it was peaceful and the view was amazing. Although it was windy, we didn't swing too much. However, since it was windy, the crew did not dip us in the water. I guess I'll have to go again on a calmer day for that experience. All in all, it was an amazing experience that I will always remember.

There are many optional tours to Dole, but this tour had a sufficient time of 75 minutes at Dole, which made me hopeful since I have a 3-year-old child and thought we could take our time on the train. However, we were put on the same tour as the horseback riding group, which shortened our time at Dole to 50 minutes. By the time we got on the train, we only had 10 minutes left. After buying ice cream, we barely made it back to the car, leaving no time for a stroll or to look at souvenirs. To make matters worse, we had to wait for the horseback riders to return, resulting in only 3 hours at Haleiwa. The guide kindly took us for a 20-minute drive, but isn't this terrible considering we paid for it? I feel like I would have preferred another optional tour instead. Also, even though we were charged for one child's fare, the bus seat was on my lap. I felt like I lost out.

On the positive side, the guide, Mr. S, was excellent. He was knowledgeable about plants and incorporated current events while explaining the scenery and buildings visible from the bus. He quickly found and spoke to participants and waited in an easy-to-find spot, showcasing his wonderful personality. When I inquired about a forgotten item on the bus, he promptly delivered it to me. Given how fantastic the guide was, it was very disappointing regarding the time management.

　ドールに行くオプショナルツアーはたくさんあるけれど、こちらのツアーはドールの時間が７５分と十分な時間が設定されており、３才の子供がいたので列車にも乗れてゆっくりできるかな・・・と期待して申し込みました。しかし乗馬プランの人と同じツアーにされたため、ドールの時間は５０分に短縮。列車に乗ると、残り１０分。アイスを買ったら車に戻るのがやっとで、散策したりお土産を見たりする時間はありませんでした。おまけに乗馬の人が帰ってくるのを待つため、ハレイワの滞在時間が３時間。ガイドさんが気を遣って、２０分ほどドライブに連れて行ってくれましたが、料金を払ったのに、これってひどくないですか？　これだったら他のオプショナルツアーにしたのにな・・・という気分です。また、子供も１人分の料金を取ってるのに、バスの席は膝の上。損した気分でした。
　良かったと言えば、ガイドのＳさんです。植物に詳しく、時事ネタも取り入れながら、バスから見える景色や建物についてよく説明して下さいました。また、ツアーに参加した人を素早く見つけて声をかけたり、わかりやすい位置で待っていてくれたり、人柄も素晴らしくとても良かったです。バスに忘れ物をして問い合わせすると、すぐに届けてくれました。ガイドさんが素晴らしかっただけに、時間配分の件は非常に残念でした。

Excellent staff and we surely enjoyed ourselves!!! A must to do when at Oahu!

Easy to make arrangments! Crew was kind, courteous and helpful! So happy we came to this business! Our girls had a blast and we are thankful for this opportunity

The rocking of the boat while waiting was severe, so those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious. There were many sharks swimming, but they lacked impact and were just diving in and out of the water. After that, I continued to suffer from seasickness, and in the end, it became a trip that only left me feeling nauseous. It's disappointing.

待っている間の船の揺れがひどく、船酔いしやすい人は要注意です。
サメもたくさん泳いでいるのですが、迫力はあまりなく、ただひたすら水の中をもぐっているだけでした。
その後も船酔いに悩まされ、結局気持ち悪さだけが残った旅行になりました。
残念です。

We participated as a couple. I was worried because I could hardly understand Japanese, but it was good that they used a projector with explanations mixed in Japanese. We did some stretching before entering the sea, but I almost gave up paddling out. The female instructor helps the women, but the men have to do it on their own. Do your best! I was able to stand up multiple times while surfing, and it was really fun. If you get seasick, be careful because you might get sick while surfing too.

夫婦で参加しました。
日本語がほぼ通じなくて心配でしたが、
説明は日本語混じりのプロジェクターを使っていたので良かったです。
ストレッチをして海に入るのですが、沖までのパドリングで挫折しそうでした。
女性はインストラクターの人が押してくれますが、男性は自力です。
頑張ってください。
サーフィンは何回も立つことができて、とても楽しかったです。
船酔いする方は、サーフィンでも酔うので気をつけてくださいね。

I booked a hotel transfer in Waikiki. When I arrived on-site, there were instructions for horseback riding posted in Japanese. Everything else was in English, but the guide at the front provided basic directions like "right" and "left" in broken English. They use horses that have retired from polo, and they were very well-trained and beautiful. The course included muddy areas, steep slopes, and scenery that could only be accessed on horseback, which was quite magical. In the latter part of the ride, I was able to have my picture taken on the horse against a beautiful backdrop of the ocean with my own camera. (There was no pressure to buy photos!!)

ワイキキホテル送迎込を探して申し込みました。現地に到着すると、日本語での乗馬の注意が貼ってありました。その部分以外はすべて英語ですが、基本的な右へ、左へ、は先頭の誘導してくださる方が片言で教えてくれます。POLO競技から引退した馬を使用されているとのことで、とてもしつけの行き届いたキレイな馬でした。ぬかるみや、急勾配、馬でしか立ち入れないようなコースで周りの景色も幻想的でした。後半には海の見える美しい景観の場所で馬に乗った姿を自分のカメラで撮ってもらえました。(写真売りつけたりとかは無いです！！)

It was an awesome experience and I'm glad at the last minute we were able to make it happen. The employees are so welcoming and polite we enjoyed it from the time we left and to when we came back in. It is a must to try it out. Mahalos

We chose 120M and went up side by side. The staff skillfully handled the ropes, and we splashed into the water violently once, and there was also a splash during landing. It seems that the splash during landing can vary depending on the height chosen. It was a lot of fun. All the staff spoke English, so I didn't fully understand everything, but it was enjoyable. For $30, you can also request a photo package.

There is no space to change, so you board the boat as soon as you arrive. I strongly recommend wearing a swimsuit.

選択した高さによって違うのかなという印象です。
とっても楽しいです。スタッフはすべて英語のため、理解できないままですが
楽しいです。30ドルでレフ写真もお願いできます。

着替えができるスペースはなく、現地についたらすぐに船へ乗り込みます。
水着着用を強くおすすめします。

It's easy to get around since it's close to the city center, and the time spent floating in the sky passes by in an instant. I definitely recommend getting photos taken, even if it's for a fee! They did a great job capturing them.

中心地から近いので行き来もラク、空に浮いてる時間はあっという間に終わります。
写真は有料でも絶対撮ってもらうのをオススメ！上手に撮ってくれてました。

There were three groups of participants, and we were the only Japanese. I was worried because the staff didn't speak Japanese, but there was no need to worry. Everyone focused solely on having fun, and we communicated just fine with gestures! We waved at the couple soaring in the sky, and when they returned, we high-fived! The weather was clear, there were no waves, and it was the best sky adventure. The tour lasted less than two hours, including transportation, so I was very happy to make good use of my time. I would love to participate again! ❤️❤️❤️

参加者は3組、日本人は私たちだけ、スタッフも日本語は？で不安でしたが、心配無用。皆、楽しむことだけに専念、身振り手振りで意思疎通ＯＫ！！空に舞い上がったカップルに下から皆で手を振り、戻ってきたらハイタッチ！！。天気も快晴、波もなく、最高の空の旅でした。ツアーの時間も送迎を含め、2時間足らずで、時間を有効に使えるのでうれしい限り。また参加したいです♡♡♡

This is an affordable tour that lasts about two hours from the beach near Hilton Hawaiian Village in the early morning. If there are many people, the wait time on the boat can be long, but during our time, there were only three groups, so it ended quickly.

It was 120 meters high, which was surprisingly high and a bit scary, but it was fun! I recommend it for those looking for an easy tour.

早朝からヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ付近のビーチから2時間ほどで終わる、値段も時間もお手軽なツアーです。多い場合は船の上で待ち時間が長くなりますが、僕たちの時は3組だったので、あっという間に終わりました。

120mだったのですが、意外と高く、ちょっと怖かったですが、楽しかったです♪お手軽なツアーをお探しの方にはオススメです。
