I got a call ahead of time to confirm my reservations, which was reassuring. The office staff was friendly and helpful. The parasailing experience was great. My wife and son were a bit apprehensive at first, but all went well. The two people running the boat operation were experienced and kept everything running smoothly.

When I inquired via email whether it would be okay not to speak English at the time of booking, I was told, "Don't worry, we will provide a Japanese instruction manual in advance." However, there was no guidance in Japanese at all. Upon being picked up, I was only asked to sign a sheet that seemed to list Japanese participants (other foreign participants had a book with explanations and a consent form). As soon as we arrived at the sea, we were immediately taken onto the boat and set off without understanding what was happening.
Even after departure, the explanations were only in English, which left me completely confused... I felt anxious as I could only rely on gestures and broken phrases. Moreover, although two women participated, we were forced to have a man who came alone placed between us, resulting in an awkward atmosphere in the air. I was really glad I didn't ask for any photos.
While parasailing itself was very enjoyable, I don't think I will use this tour company again.
予約時に英語が話せなくても大丈夫かメールで問い合わせしたところ「事前に日本語の説明書を渡すので心配ない」との事でしたが、日本語の案内は一切なく、ピックアップの車で日本人だけ参加者一覧のような用紙にサインをされられたのみで(その他の外国人の参加者は説明の記入してある本と同意書が有った)海に到着後すぐに船に乗せられ訳もわからないまま出発しました。
出発後も英語での説明のみでチンプンカンプン・・・
ジェスチャーと片言のみで飛び立ったので不安でした。
しかも女性2人で参加したのに強制的に1人で来ている男性を私達の間に入れられ3人で飛ぶ形となったので上空で微妙な雰囲気でした。写真を頼まなくて本当に良かったと思いました。
パラセイリングというもの自体はとても面白かったのですが、この催行会社はもう利用しないと思います。

The experience was amazing. The only complaint I have was that we were staying at the Mariot Waikiki and the van driver went to the Waikiki resort to pick us up. We could not find the driver or him us. When I talked with staff trying to locate himshe was rude and said if we did not find the driver in 2 mins he would leave us and there would be no refund.
We ended up finding him in about 10 mins. with the help of valet parkers from out hotel. He did not leave us Thank goodness. The van driver knew we were lost and waited. He was very nice. The staff on the boat were amazing. My 73 year old mother even parasailed and they acommadated her needs. : ) We were there on a make a wish trip, they allowed my 12 year old son who fought cancer last year to go up twice and to drive the boat. They were just amazing!

This was my second time surfing in Hawaii. I was drawn in by the cute name and made a reservation. I signed up for a group lesson, but there was only one student, so it turned into a completely private session! Yay~~ (*^^)v
The instructor was a boy who spoke a little Japanese, but it was so much fun. Even though I was a poor student, thanks to the instructor, I was able to ride the waves!!!
A photographer rode on a board and took pictures, so they were very dynamic and full of life.
My friends had separate plans for the day, but next time they said they would join this school too.

This was my first time both in Hawaii and parasailing. The crew was efficient, and kind. The pictures they took were both well done and affordable. If I had to complain about anything, it would be the lack of life jackets for those who are in the boat. I would recommend this company to anyone planning a trip to Hawaii or looking to parasail.

If you are taking your own transportation to Oahu Parasailing, leave early in order to be on time. It is easy to get lost or stuck in traffic. The staff is very friendly! If you get motion sick then you should take some Bonine or Dramamine before. You will be on a boat with 3-5 other groups. You might get motion sick waiting for everyone to take their turn parasailing. The boat Captain and riggers are really nice. They will prepare you and give you all the rules and safety precautions before. They take safety very seriously here so don't be offended if they yell at you for not following the rules. It's their job to make everyone feel safe and get everyone back to shore in one piece. This is very fun for everyone! It is a nice boat ride and parasailing tour. Do not bring expensive cameras out, you will be splashed by the waves. You won't be soaked after the boat ride, but it’s not worth the risk of ruining your expensive camera.

I’m scared of roller coasters. My wife also isn’t fond of roller coasters or heights, but since we came all the way to Hawaii, we thought it would be a waste to leave without trying anything. So, we signed up for it despite our fears. Once we actually tried it, our bodies were securely strapped in, and there was absolutely no fear. We were able to enjoy the beautiful sky and ocean of Hawaii, and my wife and I were overjoyed, saying, “I’m glad we did it! It wasn’t scary at all!” The staff were fun, and we had a truly wonderful and enjoyable experience, leaving us very satisfied. One downside is that the boat can sway depending on the wave conditions over the ocean, which might cause a bit of seasickness. My wife took motion sickness medication from the start, so she was fine, but I thought I would be okay and almost felt a little queasy. However, even with that, the overall experience was fantastic, and I was really satisfied.
ジェットコースターも怖い私です。家内もジェットコースターや高いところが苦手なのですが、せっかくハワイにきたのに何もやらずに帰るのはもったいないと、怖いの半分申し込んだのですが、実際やってみると、体はちゃんと固定され全く怖さはなく、ハワイの美しい、空と海を堪能でき、家内と『やってよかったね!全然怖くなかったね!』と大喜びです。スタッフも楽しい人で本当に素晴らしい楽しい体験ができて大満足でした。一つ難をいえば海の上の往復波の状態によって船が揺れるため、スコシ船酔いになりかける可能性があるということです。家内ははじめから酔い止めの薬を飲んでいたので大丈夫でしたが、私は大丈夫とタカをくくっていたのですが、スコシ酔いそうでした。しかしそれを含めても素晴らしいのが大きくて本当に満足でした。

I don't know when I'll be able to go to Hawaii next, so I wanted to do something that can only be done while I'm young, like skydiving or parasailing. My friend, who is not good with heights, said she could manage parasailing, so we went with that. After it was over, she said it was super fun and that she was glad we did it! We were picked up and went straight to the boat. There was no one who spoke Japanese, and the explanations were all in English. I understood that we needed to put our bags and shoes under the seats by watching the gestures. While the staff was explaining, my friend asked me to put her bag under my seat, and as I was doing that, I was scolded by the staff who said, "Look!"
When I tried to take a picture of the scenery with my phone camera while the boat was moving, I was told, "Don't let go!" I was fine with preparing for the jump because I carefully watched the other customers who were going before us and mentally prepared myself. When it was our turn and we were getting ready, my friend tried to move the belt she had around her legs down to her waist, and the captain scolded her, saying, "Under your thighs!" They also told us where to hold on, and even though the staff couldn't speak Japanese, they seemed to know the necessary words, so I think there's no need to worry.
Before we jumped, they asked if we wanted to take pictures, and I requested it. When we got back to shore, they said something like, "If you had fun, please give the captain a tip," and everyone gave about $20. We didn't have small bills, so we handed over 2000 yen, and the captain, who had been receiving $20 from other customers with a straight face, smiled and looked happy. The photos taken were given to us on an SD card, and there was a shop right near the dock for this tour where we could check the photos on a big screen and pay $30. They took about 30-35 pictures per group with a DSLR camera, including a few shots of the ocean while we were flying. While waiting to make that payment, I noticed a worn-out album at the counter. It seemed to be a Japanese guide explaining the entire activity with photos and descriptions from departure to return. It looked like it was meant for people who come to the shop to sign up directly. I thought it would be nice if they prepared another copy so we could read it in the pickup vehicle. The photo shows someone flying in the distance as seen from the boat.
次いつハワイに行けるか分からないので、若いうちにしか出来ない事、カツ、ハワイでしか出来ない事で、スカイダイビングかパラセイルだったのですが、一緒に行く友達が観覧車もダメな人で、パラセイルならなんとか大丈夫だろうと言うのでパラセイルに。そんな友達も終わってから超~楽しかった♪やって良かった♪と言ってました★ピックアップしてもらい直ぐにボートへ。日本語が話せる人はおらず説明はずっと英語。ジェスチャーを見て荷物と靴は座席の下に入れる等分かりました。説明をスタッフがしている最中に、友達に荷物を私が座ってる座席の下に入れてと言われ、下に入れてると「ミテ!」と説明してるスタッフに注意をされました。ボートが走行中に携帯のカメラで景色を写真に撮ろうとしたら「ツカマッテ!!」とボートから手を離すなと注意されました。どうやって飛ぶ準備をするのか等は、先に飛ぶお客さんの様子をシッカリと見て学習して心の準備をしたので大丈夫でした。私達の番が来て装着して準備をしている時に、友達が足に通したベルトを腰の下に移動させようとしたらキャプテンに「モモノシタ!」と注意されました。持つ所も「シタ」と注意をされ、スタッフは日本語は話せなくても必要な言葉は知っているようなので心配はいらないと思います。飛ぶ前に写真を撮るかと聞かれ頼みました。岸に着いた時に「楽しかったらその分キャプテンにチップを渡してくれ」というような事を言われ皆20ドルぐらい渡してました。私達は細かいドルが無かったので日本円で2000円渡すと、他のお客から無表情で20ドル受け取ってたキャプテンが笑顔になって喜んでました。撮られた写真はSDカードで渡され、船着場の直ぐ近くにこのツアーの店があり、そこの大画面に表示させてちゃんと撮れてるかチェックしてくれ30ドル支払います。一眼レフのデジカメで、一組あたり約30~35枚とってくれます。飛んでる最中の海の景色も数枚入ってます。その支払いを待っている最中にカウンターを見ると、ボロボロなアルバムの様な物が・・・それはこのアクティビティーを分かりやすく出発から帰るまで全部を写真と日本語で説明してる日本人向けの物でした。どうもこの店に来て直接申し込みをする人用のようです。が、もう一冊用意してピックアップの車の中で読めるようにしてくれたらいいのになと思いました(^^;写真はボートから見た先に飛んでる人です。

I participated at my husband's request. It was our first experience. The staff member was kind and communicated in broken Japanese. The driver only spoke English. All the other guests were foreigners, which felt a bit isolating...
We had a nearly 10-minute aerial walk per group. However, since we were last in line, I started to feel sick and ended up throwing up at the peak. I had taken motion sickness medication beforehand. The summit was quite high and it swayed a lot. Before returning to the boat, we jumped into the sea.
I purchased an SD card with data for $30, which I paid for later at the office.
It was fun, but I might be a bit tired. Please make sure to take care of your health before participating!

First of all, I thought there wouldn't be any staff who could speak Japanese, but maybe we just got lucky? A local male staff member explained everything to us in Japanese with great effort. The shuttle bus only spoke English, but we didn't feel any inconvenience and had a great time♪
First, we went out to sea at quite a speed, and we were launched to a height higher than we imagined (laughs), so if you're worried, I recommend taking motion sickness medication♪
The staff on board will take photos for you, but it costs $30. You'll receive an SD card when you get off the boat, and you can pay inside the building next to the dock. We weren't quite sure where to pay (laughs), but a Chinese participant helped us, and we just followed everyone else (laughs). I definitely recommend getting your photos taken! (≧ω≦)b
Towards the end, there’s a moment when your lower body gets submerged in the water, and around that time, the staff asks from the boat, "Mizu Japon, okay!?" So, if you don't want to get wet, you won't be forced into the water. I was impressed by this consideration♪ (Of course, we shouted "Okay!" (laughs))
It was thrilling, and the opportunity to see the Hawaiian scenery from such a high position is rare, so I'm really glad I participated―――――!
By the way, the image is from our angle. The boat looks so small from that height (laughs), but it was surprisingly stable and felt great!!
まず、日本語が通じるスタッフがいないと思っていたのですが、私たちの時が偶然だったのかな?現地の男性スタッフが、一生懸命日本語で説明してくれました。送迎バスの方は英語のみでしたが、何ら不便を感じることもなく、楽しめましたよ♪
まず、けっこうなスピードで沖へ行くのと、想像以上に高い位置まで飛ばされるので(笑)心配な方は酔い止めを♪
同乗したスタッフさんが写真を撮ってくれるのですが、30ドルで、船を降りる時にSDカードを渡され、船着き場横の建物内でお会計。といった感じです。
私たちはいまいち会計場所がわかりませんでしたがw一緒に参加した中国の方に教えて頂いたのと、あとは皆について行けばいいだけです(笑)
写真は是非!撮ってもらうことをオススメします(≧ω≦)b
そして飛ばされながら終盤、お水に下半身が浸かる瞬間があるんですが、終盤頃になるとスタッフさんが「ミズ ジャポン オーケー!?」ってかんじで船から問いかけてくれて、水に浸かりたくない方が、無理に水中へ引き込まれることはないです♪この気遣いは感心しました♪
(私たちはもちろん「オーケー!」と叫びましたがw)
スリルもあり、あんなに高い位置からハワイの景色を一望できる機会なんてそうそうないので、参加して本当に良かった―――――!と思います!!
ちなみに画像は私たちアングルです。あの位船が小さく見えるほど高く上がります(笑)しかし想像以上に安定感があり、気持ち良いですよ!!

We participated as a group of three.
We joined with high expectations, as it was advertised that the rope length is 150 meters, the longest in Hawaii.
Since the parachute is pulled by a boat, it felt more like flying far from the boat rather than going high up.
The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from above was wonderful.
However, both of my companions seemed to experience mild seasickness and parachute sickness, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who are concerned.

I went to Hawaii for the first time.
We rode a boat with about ten people, but everyone except us was speaking in English, which made me a bit anxious. (They provide the minimum necessary information in broken Japanese.)
Also, the return bus pickup was not smooth, and for us who don't understand English, we were somewhat worried, wondering, "When will they come to pick us up?" "Will they even come to pick us up?" "Are we waiting in the wrong place?"
The staff there will take photos of you while parasailing for $30, so if you want photos, it's better to bring some money. (We only had the bare minimum, so we couldn't buy any.)
The parasailing itself was very enjoyable, and I was extremely satisfied!! Next time, I plan to bring enough money to participate properly.

You won't have time to enjoy the scenery; it's incredibly thrilling!!!
The height is the same as the main observation deck of Tokyo Tower...!
Well... if you're looking for a unique experience that you can only get overseas, this is the best.
If you don't mind heights but are a bit hesitant, you should be prepared.
For those with a fear of heights, think carefully (laughs).
Make sure to take motion sickness medication! Also, depending on the roughness of the waves, it might be impossible to take photos or videos, so it's a good idea to prepare $30 to have the staff take pictures for you.
Don't forget to tip. The photos turned out great◎
It might be worth experiencing at least once.

This was one of the highlights of my vacation. My husband and I booked this activity before we arrived in Oahu, and I was actually a little nervous about it as it got closer. But, I have to say--this was a ton of fun. The other couples in our group were quite a bit younger than us--we are in our late forties--but I think this activity would be OK for almost any age and level of mobility. The crew was professional and skilled on the water, and everything felt safe and secure. And the ride was fantastic! The crew took pictures of the whole event and the memory card was available for purchase at the end of the ride for $30. These are some of my favorite vacation pictures, and proof to our kids that we did it! The flight itself was gentle. You gained height steadily and the views were terrific. The crew brought you back down, gave you a quick dunk in the ocean and landed you back on the boat. Go ahead and do this!

Thank you very much for using Alan1.net.
Regarding the Japanese instruction manual, I sincerely apologize for the incorrect prior notice that caused you to feel uneasy.
As for the reason why, despite having two participants, you ended up flying with three people, it was due to strong winds and unstable atmospheric conditions on the day of the event. With two women, it would have been difficult to maintain balance and could have posed a danger, so we made this adjustment for safety reasons. I apologize for the lack of explanation and for your participation under these circumstances. However, we prioritize your safety, and I hope you can understand that such situations may occur.
Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable experience after returning home. We aim to create better tours in collaboration with the operating company, so we would appreciate your consideration for future use.

日本語の説明書の件ですが、事前の案内が誤っており、ご不安な気持ちにさせて申し訳ございませんでした。
また2名参加なのに他の方を加えて3名で飛ぶこととなった理由としては、当日は風が強く上空の大気が不安定で、女性2名様だとバランスが取りにくく危険であったため、安全上の理由により対応させていただいた次第です。
説明がないままご納得いかない形でのご参加となられた点、お詫び申し上げます。
ただしお客様の安全を第一にしておりますので、このようなことが起こり得る点はご理解
いただければ幸いです。
帰国後の貴重なお時間を割いての体験談のご投稿、ありがとうございました。
