It's best to make reservations at the hotel tour desk, but I casually thought it would be fine. However, this hotel was under renovation and didn't have a tour desk, so I ended up booking through this site at the last minute. On the day of my reservation, it was stated that instead of showing the reservation screen on my phone, I must bring a printed copy, so I arranged for the hotel to receive a fax as instructed. When I checked with the hotel front desk, they replied, "We haven't received it." I hurriedly opened the sending screen again and resent it, and that night I was able to successfully receive the fax from the front desk. If you already know what you want to do while in Japan, I recommend making reservations in Japan and printing them out at home.
I had prepared for the pickup car to be quite late, as mentioned in the reviews, but when it was 7-8 minutes late, the office called the hotel front desk in Japanese to say, "We are delayed due to traffic. We apologize."
The length was 120 meters, and it was a very pleasant and wonderful experience. The boat swayed quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is a must. The staff were friendly and kind. Initially, I thought a tip of $5 per person would be fine, but in the end, I gave $10 per person. The photos were $30, but since we couldn't take them ourselves, we bought them (SD card). It seems it's better to mention upfront that you intend to buy them. The group before us didn't communicate that, so when they checked at the time of purchase, they hadn't taken many photos, which was unfortunate, as mentioned by a Japanese lady in the office. That said, it felt okay not to buy them if you didn't like the photos upon checking.
The driver for the shuttle was very chatty and kept telling us that there would be fireworks at the beach nearby today (Friday) and that we should go see them! We actually went to see the fireworks at night, and it was really great.
ホテルのツアーデスクで予約すればいいや。と気軽に考えていたら、今回のホテルは改装途中でツアーデスクがなく、急遽こちらのサイトで予約しました。
当日は携帯の予約画面を見せるのではなく、プリントアウトしたものを必ず持参するようにと書いてあったので、指示通りホテルにFAXが届くように手配し、ホテルのフロントに確認したところ、「届いてないよ。」との返答。
慌ててもう一度送信画面を開いて送信し、その日の夜に無事フロントからFAXを受け取ることができました。
日本にいる時点でやりたいことが決まっている方は日本で予約して自分の家でプリントアウトすることをオススメします。
迎えの車がかなり遅れると書き込みにあったので、覚悟していたのですが、7〜8分遅れた時点でオフィスからホテルのフロントに日本語で「渋滞で遅れています。申し訳ありません。」という電話がきまし
た。
長さは120mでしたが、とっても気持ちがよく素晴らしい体験ができました。
船はかなり揺れますので、酔い止めは必須。
スタッフも気さくで優しく、最初チップは1人5
ドルでいいかなー。と思っていたのですが、結局1人10ドル渡しました。
写真も30ドルですが、自分たちでは撮れないので買いました。(SDカード)
買うつもりの方は最初に買うつもりがある。と言っておいた方がいいみたいです。
私たちの前の回の方は、それを伝えていなかったので買う時点で確認したらあまりたくさん撮ってくれてなくて可哀想だった。と事務所にいる日本人のおばさまが言ってました。
とはいえ、写真を確認してあまり気にいらなかったら買わなくても大丈夫な雰囲気でした。
送迎のドライバーさんがとーってもおしゃべりで、今日(金曜日)はこの辺のビーチで花火があるから見た方がいいよ!と私たちにも何度も言ってくれました。
実際夜花火を見に行ったのですが、とてもよかったです。

This was so much fun! It felt amazing! It was a coincidence that all six couples on board were honeymooners, with four Japanese couples and one foreign couple (laughs). Since we were there, we asked for some photos. They took a lot of pictures, from the moments when we were flying to the splashdown, and even the view of Waikiki from the sea (laughs). I was unsure about the height but decided on 120 meters. I felt like there wasn't much difference between 120 and 150. In the end, 120 meters was high enough, and I was very satisfied. I think I would do it again next time!
However, the car to pick us up from the hotel never arrived... I got anxious and had the hotel concierge call. In the end, the pickup arrived around the time the boat was supposed to leave... The timing was quite vague. Strangely, the return time was as scheduled, though.
これ、とても楽しかったです!めちゃくちゃ気持ちいい!日本人カップル4組と外国人カップル1組、乗ってる全員がハネムーナーという奇遇でした(笑)せっかくなので私たちは写真もお願いしました。飛んでる時もボチャンする瞬間も、海から見たワイキキの風景まで(笑)たくさん写真を撮ってくれました。高さは迷いましたが120mにしました。120も150もあまり変わらないような気がして。結果120mでも充分高く大満足です。次回行ってもまたすると思います!
ただ、ホテルへの迎えの車が全然来ず…不安になって、ホテルのコンシェルジュに電話してもらいました。結局迎えに来たのは船が出る時間くらいでした…。時間はかなりアバウトですね。不思議と帰りの時間は予定通りでしたけど。

On the last morning, I went parasailing at 120 meters!! (I signed up during my stay the day before, so it's recommended for those who want to add plans at the last minute.) They pick you up directly at the hotel entrance, which is convenient. The cheerful driver was cracking jokes and saying funny phrases while driving (laughs). The morning parasailing was the best!! We signed up as a family of three, and we were able to experience flying together! (^o^) The other participants were also Japanese, so we all took photos together!! They recommended taking photos for $30, but when everyone declined, the photographer joked around (laughs). When landing, they asked if we wanted to splash into the sea, but when I said I didn't want to get too wet, they just dipped my toes lightly into the sea before landing on the boat!
最終日の朝にパラセイリングの120mをしました!!(前日の宿泊中に申し込みしたので、急に予定追加したい方にもオススメです)ホテル玄関に直接お迎え来てくれるので楽です。明るい運転手のおじさんで運転中、お笑い芸人の一言ネタフレーズ言ったりしてました(笑)朝のパラセイリングは最高でした!!私達は家族3人で申し込んだのですが、3人一緒に飛んで体験できました!(^o^)他の申し込みされた方も日本人でしたので、みんなで写真を取り合いしましたよ!!30$での写真を撮るのをオススメされますが、みんな断わるとジョーダンでスネてました(笑)着地は海にドボンするか聞かれますがあまり濡れたくないと言うと足先だけ軽く海にドボンしてくれてボートに着地させてくれました!

I participated in the 110-meter plan early in the morning. I was a bit anxious because the pickup location was not at the hotel, but the bus arrived on time, so I quickly felt reassured.
There were 10 participants, including the two of us. Among the staff and customers, we were the only Japanese. There were also small children around 3 years old and some participants who came alone.
Even without being able to speak English, I was able to enjoy parasailing easily without any difficulties! At 110 meters, it wasn't as high as I thought, and there was no fear at all. The view and the breeze from above the sea were very pleasant.
Since it was an activity that small children could enjoy, I definitely want to challenge it again in the future when my family grows!

While waiting at the bus stop near the hotel where we were staying, I started to feel a bit anxious when the bus didn't arrive at the scheduled time. However, about ten minutes later than planned, a blue van appeared, and I felt relieved as I got inside.
Inside the van, a foreigner in the front seat handed me a waiver to sign. It made me a little uneasy that everyone else in the van, except for my husband and me, was a foreigner.
When we arrived at the boat dock, we were guided to a counter with a sign that read "Extreme Parasailing." There, I showed them the voucher I had printed out, and after receiving the okay, we boarded the boat shortly after. On the boat were just the two of us, a Canadian family of two, and a family of five whose nationality was unclear. As we listened to them, we realized we were the first ones up, so we hurried to get our life jackets ready. The boat sped off to the parasailing launch point, and it turned out we were indeed the first ones. We moved to the front of the boat and prepared ourselves. Finally, we took off into the sky.
I’m not great with the feeling of falling, but once I was up in the air, it was smooth sailing, and I felt like I was floating. When we reached 150 meters, the boat below looked quite small, and I wondered if I would be able to land safely, which made me a bit scared. However, the view from up there was absolutely beautiful. In front of me was Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head, and when I turned around, I could see planes flying. The ocean looked a deep blue. When it was time to descend, it felt like we were gradually coming down, and I wasn’t scared at all. Just as we got close to the boat, I was splashed into the sea, which felt refreshing. The driver was very skilled.
Afterward, the next two customers had their turn, but the family of five who had come together seemed to have someone who got scared watching our 150-meter parasailing, or perhaps they got seasick; I’m not sure. They ended up canceling their parasailing experience. I thought it was a bit of a shame, but we had a great time, so it was no problem for us. In the end, we paid $30 for the photo data (SD card) and tipped before finishing up. If I get the chance again, I would definitely love to experience it once more.
滞在していたホテルの近くのバス停留所で、待ち合わせの時間になってもバスが来ないので、もしかして自力で行くことになるのかな・・・?と少々不安にはなりましたが、予定より10分弱遅れて、青いバンが現れ、一安心してバンの中に乗り込みました。
バスの中で前の席の外国人から、免責同意書を渡され、名前を書きました。バンの中は、私たち夫婦以外はすべて外国人で少々不安になりました。
ボートの発着所に着くと、エキストリーム・パラセイルという看板の書かれた窓口まで案内され、そこでコピーしてもっていったバウチャーを見せ、無事OKをもらい、しばらくしてボートに乗り込みました。ボートに乗っていたのは、私たち夫婦2人、カナダ人の親子2人、国籍は不明ですが外国人の家族5人でした。話しを聞いていると、私たち2人が最初だよと、急いでライフジャケットの準備。ボートでパラセイリングの開始地点まで走らせると、私たちがやはり最初のようで、ボートの前の方へ移動し、準備。いざ、空へ出発。
落ちるという感覚が大の苦手な私ですが、一度空に上がってしまえば順調に上に行き、プカプカ空に浮いている感覚でした。150mまで到達したときは、下のボートかなり小さく見えて、ちゃんと降りられるかな?と思い怖かったです。でも、空から見える景色は本当にきれいでした。目の前にはワイキキのビーチとダイヤモンドヘッド、後ろを振り返ると、飛行機が飛んでいるのが見えました。海が深い青色に見えました。降りるときはちょっとずつ下に下がる感じで、ほとんど怖くありませんでした。ただ、ボートまで近づいてきた時に、じゃぼっと海の中に落とされました。それもまた気持ちよかったです。ちょっとだけ海につける腕前。運転手さん(?)、上手です。
その後、次の2名のお客さんが体験しましたが、5名の家族で来ていたお客さんは、私たちの150mのパラセイリングを下で見ていて怖くなった人がいたのか、はたまた、船酔いしてしまったのか、良くわかりませんが、パラセイリングをすることをキャンセルしていました。ちょっともったいないなと思いつつ、私たちはとても楽しめたので、問題はありませんでした。最後に、写真のデータ(SDカード)代30ドル、チップを渡して終わりました。また機会があったら、ぜひ、もう一度体験したいです。

I experienced the 150m flight. There were also a newlywed Japanese couple and three foreign families with us. It was a windy day, and the boat was rocking a lot with splashes of water until we got out to sea. I thought I might get seasick. Since you get wet, wearing a swimsuit and bringing a towel are essential. Given how much it rocked, I wished they had made us wear life jackets from the start.
After regaining my composure, we took off into the sky at an angle that felt almost perpendicular to the boat, and it was higher and more beautiful than I had imagined! The flight lasted about five minutes, which was a bit short, but just before returning to the boat, there was a little surprise performance that was fun. The sea viewed from 150m up was sparkling beautifully in the light.
Overall, it was a lot of fun! Since you get very wet, I recommend planning your schedule so that you can return to the hotel afterward.

I chose the highest option at 150m, and I was worried it might be scary, but not at all! It was a fun aerial walk, and the staff were friendly, making it enjoyable. If I could make a request, it would be that the meeting point was a bit hard to find, so a map-like explanation would have been helpful. Also, if I had known the price for photo taking from the beginning, I could have paid right away and not kept the driver waiting. But truly, seeing Waikiki from the sky is beautiful. I highly recommend this activity.

ただリクエストするとすれば、集合場所が少し分かり辛かったので地図のような説明があったら良かったのと、写真撮影のお値段が最初から分かっていたらすぐにお支払い出来てドライバーさんにお待ち頂くことも無かったかなと思いました。

A week before going to Hawaii, I researched online and chose this tour because it offered the highest flight at a low price. This time, I participated with my family of five, including my children who are in 2nd grade, 5th grade, and 2nd year of middle school. Since this tour allowed children from the age of 7, I managed to convince my son, who is scared even of the children's roller coaster. On the morning of the tour, it was covered with dark clouds and it rained occasionally, but as expected in Hawaii, the weather cleared up quickly and the sky turned blue. The shuttle bus arrived on time. I have participated in various tours before, and it was often late, so I was relieved. We enjoyed a pleasant breeze on the bus, and it took about 10 minutes to reach the destination from Waikiki. We quickly transferred to the boat and set sail.
For about 10 minutes out to sea, we got splashed with water due to the momentum. I brought a larger backpack, but it got wet, so I think just having a camera would be sufficient. Motion sickness medication is essential for enjoying the experience. Although my children, who are prone to motion sickness, didn't get sick thanks to the medication, I, who usually doesn't get sick, felt unwell because I didn't take any. But before I knew it, the first group started jumping, and it was our family's turn. My wife and our two sons went first. We jumped with our 2nd-grade son in the middle. The ascent was slow, so it wasn't scary. From the top, we could see Diamond Head and the endless horizon beautifully. My sons, who I was worried about, enjoyed it without being scared. We chose the highest jump at 150 meters, which was sufficiently high. At the end, there was an option to be submerged in water up to our waists. This was optional. Some groups returned without getting wet, but since it dries quickly and is fun, I recommend going for the splash. The cleanup after jumping was quick, and we were able to return immediately. This tour is enjoyable enough to fill a two-hour gap, and I was very satisfied. We made great memories with our children. Thank you very much.
ハワイに行く一週間前にネットで調べた所、このツアーが一番高く飛び、値段も安かったのでこちらを選びました。今回は、小学2年、5年、中2の子供達を連れて家族5人での参加です。
このツアーは7歳から参加可能だった為、子供用ジェットコースタ―さえも怖がる息子を説得しました。当日の朝、黒い雲に覆われ時折雨も降っていましたが、さすがハワイ。すぐに天気も回復して青空になりました。送迎のバスは時間通りにきました。以前いろんなツアーに参加した事がありますが、時間に遅れてくる事が頻繁にあった為、ほっとしました。バスで心地良い風を受けながら、ワイキキから⑩分で到着。すぐボートに乗り換え出港。
⑩分程沖に出るまでは勢いで水しぶきがかかります。私は大きめのリュックを持っていきましたが濡れたので、カメラだけあればよいと思います。酔い止めは楽しむ為にも必須。家族の中で酔いやすい子供達は酔い止めのおかげで酔わなかったのに、普段酔わない僕は酔い止めを飲まなかった為、気分が悪くなってしまいました。でもあっと言う間に一組目から飛び初め、僕たち家族の番に。初めに妻と長男2人。僕たちは小2の息子を真ん中にして3人で飛びました。飛び出しもゆっくり上がっていくので怖くありません。一番上ではダイアモンドヘッドやどこまでも続く水平線がきれいに見えました。心配していた息子達も怖がる事なく楽しんでいました。一番高い150Mを選んだ為高さは充分。最後に水の中に腰まで入れてもらうおまけつき。これは選択できます。濡れずに戻ってきたグループもありましたが、すぐに乾くし楽しい為ポチャンとしてもらう事をおすすめします。飛び終わってからの片付けも早く、すぐに帰る事ができました。2時間の空き時間があれば十分楽しめるツアーで満足度は高いです。子供達とよい思い出ができました。ありがとうございました。

This was my first time applying.
Perhaps because I was the only Japanese customer, the staff on the parasailing boat spoke very quickly and I couldn't catch what they were saying.
Of course, they didn't speak Japanese.
I wanted to buy photos, but they didn't explain it properly. I thought there would be a chance to discuss it later, but when I asked, I was told, "If you don't tell us in advance, we won't take any photos." When I mentioned that there was no explanation, they said, "It seems that he (the man who was explaining) only explained to a few people, and I'm sorry."
It was very disappointing.
The view was amazing!!
今回始めて申し込みました。
私意外のお客さんは外国人ばかりなこともあってか、パラセーリングの船の人もネイティブなかんじで、説明もとても早くて聞き取れなかった。
日本語はもちろん通じない。
そして、写真を買いたかったがちゃんと説明してくれず、あとで話があるのかと思ってたけど、話がないから聞いてみたら、『事前に言ってくれないと写真とってない』と言われ、頭にきて説明がなかったと言うと、『彼(説明してた男の人)が一部の人にしか説明してなかったみたいで、ごめんなさい』と言われ、
とっても残念でした。

My first parasailing experience! After deciding on my trip to Hawaii, I looked at various companies' optional tours and chose this one. After reading the reviews, I opted for the highest option at 150m, and it was definitely the right choice!
It was drizzling in the morning, but I took the shuttle at 11:30. We arrived and waited a bit, during which the rain stopped. When it was our turn, I boarded last, following everyone else.
Maybe that was a mistake, as I ended up being the first to fly (sweat). I took off into the sky without any mental preparation (laughs). Flying high in the air, the view was amazing! I thought it could have lasted a bit longer, but I didn't feel it was too short.
It would be a lie to say it wasn't scary at all, but I quickly forgot that feeling and had a great time (*´∀`)♪ I intended to buy photos even though they were high up, but I wasn't able to get any. Do you have to ask for them?
Also, I was taken aback when they asked for tips while holding a $20 bill visibly.
However, it really felt wonderful, so if I get the chance to go back to Hawaii, I would like to sign up for parasailing again!
初めてのパラセイリング、ハワイ旅行が決まってから、色々な会社のオプショナルツアーを見て、こちらに決めました。体験談をみて、一番高い150mにしたけど、、やっぱり正解でした!!

これがいけなかったか、一番に飛ぶ事に(汗)
心の準備ないまま空に飛ぶ事なりました(笑)
空高く飛び、景色もサイコー!!
時間は、もう少しあってもいいかなとは思うけど、短いとは思いませんでした。
全く怖くないと言ったら嘘になりますが、そんな気持ちすぐに忘れて、とても楽しめました(*´∀`)♪
写真は高くても購入しようと思っていましたが、撮って貰えませんでした。言わないとダメなのかな?
あと、20ドル札を見えるように持ち、チップお願いしますと言われた事にはドン引きしました。

For our honeymoon, my wife really wanted to go parasailing in Hawaii. On the day of the activity, we were tired from hiking Diamond Head early in the morning, and since we had some time before our pickup, we ended up rushing to get ready and almost missed the meeting time. We arrived a little late, but the staff were very kind and cheerful in their response.
The other passengers were all foreigners, and we filled out a waiver for Japanese participants in the vehicle. We were dropped off at the port near Ala Moana Center. Upon arrival, we were told to show our voucher at the office and wait until our turn on a bench. The waiting time was surprisingly long, and since there didn’t seem to be many shops nearby, I learned firsthand that it’s a good idea to always carry drinks when going out in Hawaii.
When our time came, we were called and boarded the boat, which took us to the parasailing point. The boat rocked quite a bit, so I was glad I took motion sickness medication based on other reviews.
In the end, parasailing was a wonderful experience. I have a fear of heights, so I was honestly a bit scared, but the beautiful views made it worth it! We were blessed with good weather, and we could see Diamond Head! I think the experience lasted about 10 minutes, but I believe it was something I wouldn’t have had the chance to do otherwise. They also took photos of us flying in the sky as a service, which became a great memory.
今回、新婚旅行でハワイに行くにあたり嫁がどうしてもしたかったこと。それがパラセイリングでした。当日、早朝のダイアモンドヘッド登山で疲れていたのとピックアップの時間まで少し時間があったこともあり…起きた時には集合時間ぎりぎりで焦って準備。結果、集合場所に少し遅れてしまったのですが、それにもかかわらずスタッフの方は優しく陽気に対応してくださいました。同乗したのは皆外国の方で、私たちは車内で日本人向けの誓約書を書き、アラモアナセンター近くの港で降ろしてもらいました。
到着したら事務所でバウチャーを見せて時間が来るまで待っておくように言われ、自分たちの順番が来るまでベンチで待ちました。この待ち時間が意外と長かったのと付近にはお店があまりないように感じた為、色々な場所に書かれているようにハワイで外出する際は飲み物は常に持参した方がいいことを身をもって知りました。
時間が来たら呼ばれて船に乗り、ポイントまで運んでもらいましたが、この際かなり揺れたので他の方のレビュー等を参考に酔い止めをのんでいて良かったと感じました。
結果、パラセイリングはとても気持ちのいいものでした。私は高所恐怖症の為正直怖さもありましたが、それを凌駕する景色の良さ!天気にも恵まれました!ダイヤモンドヘッドも見えました!時間は10分程度だったと思いますがこの機会がなければそう経験できるものではなかったと思います。
空を飛んでいる写真もサービスで撮って下さり、とてもいい思い出となりました。

For my first parasailing experience, I chose to go up to 150 meters to reach the highest point. Perhaps because we were over the ocean, it surprisingly didn’t feel very high, and I was able to enjoy the beautiful views of Waikiki and Diamond Head. Among the participants, we were the only Japanese, but the staff made an effort to communicate in broken Japanese, which was nice. The atmosphere on the boat was very fun. I would love to try it again if I get the chance.

海の上だからか、意外と高度感は無く、ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの美しい景色を楽しめました。
参加者中、日本人は私達だけでしたが、スタッフが片言の日本語で気を使ってくれます 笑
船上はとても楽しい雰囲気でした。また機会があればやってみたいです。

We participated as a couple. We were picked up almost on time at the meeting point. The vehicle was a blue van, and we were the only two passengers at that time. Inside the car, we were asked if we were Japanese, given a Japanese waiver to sign. After about 10 minutes, we arrived at the Ala Moana Yacht Harbor, where we showed our voucher and were told to wait for a while.
After about 20 minutes, all participants gathered, and as the previous group returned, we boarded the boat and set off. There were 8 participants this time, and aside from us, everyone else was from abroad. Onboard, there was a brief explanation in English, and for photo shooting, we were informed that data could be saved to an SD card for $35, and if we wanted it, we should inform the staff before parasailing.
This was our first time parasailing in Hawaii, and since it was the rainy season, we were worried about the weather, but fortunately, it was nice, and we enjoyed wonderful views. It felt incredibly high and was fun, but also a bit scary. However, the views and experience were invaluable. If I have the opportunity to go again, I would definitely like to experience it. I think the actual airtime was just under 10 minutes, but it felt much longer.
After that, we gradually descended, got wet up to our chests in the sea twice, and then smoothly returned to the boat. I took motion sickness medication in the morning out of concern for seasickness, but in the end, I didn't get seasick (one person who was with us looked a bit unwell).
For the photos, we could choose to pay in cash with a tip on the boat or with a credit card after disembarking. Some of the photos were blurry, but they took about 20 pictures, including the views from the boat, which made for great memories. Since we were the second-to-last group, we got quite wet, but after arriving at the port, we quickly got into the car and returned to the hotel, so we didn't have time to change clothes and sat on towels in the seats. Therefore, I think it's better to bring a bath towel.
It was so much fun that I would like to participate again!
夫婦2人で参加しました。
集合時間にほぼ時間通りにピックアップされました。車は青いバンで、その時に乗ったのは私たち2人だけでした。車内で日本人?と聞かれ、日本語の誓約書を渡され、サインをしました。10分ほどでアラモアナのヨットハーバーでに着き、スタッフにバウチャーを見せてしばし待つように言われました。
20分ほど待つと参加者が全員揃い、そして前の回の船が戻ってきたので入れ替わりで乗り込んで出発しました。今回の参加者は8人で、私達夫婦以外はみんな外国の方でした。
船上では英語で簡単に説明があり、写真撮影はSDカードにデータを入れて35ドルで、希望があればパラセイリングの前にスタッフに伝えてくださいとのことでした。
今回ハワイでのパラセイリングは初めてで、また雨季だったので天気も心配していましたが、幸い天気も良く、素晴らしい景色が見られました。ものすごく高く感じて楽しかった反面、少し怖かったです。ですが、あの景色や体験は何にも代え難いです。また行く機会があれば是非体験したいと思いました。実際の滞空時間は10分弱程度だったと思いますが、とても長く感じました。
その後徐々に高度が下がり、胸まで海に二回浸かり、その後スムーズに船に戻ることができました。
船酔いを懸念して酔い止めを朝に飲んで臨んだのですが、結局船酔いにはなりませんでした(一緒に乗っていた1人の方は少し気分が悪そうでした)
写真はチップとともに現金で船上では支払うか、クレジットカードで下船後に払うか選べました。写真はボケているものもありましたが、船上からの景色も含めて全部で20枚程度撮っていてくれて良い思い出になりました。
私たちは最後から二番目の組だったので、結構濡れていましたが、港に着いてからはすぐに車に乗りホテルまで帰ったので、服を着替える時間はなかったので、座席にタオルを引いて乗りました。なのでバスタオルを持って行ったほうがいいと思います。
とても楽しかったので、また参加したいです!

The meeting point is in front of the Duke statue. It takes about 15 minutes to the dock. During that time, I was asked to sign an English waiver. There were just over 10 participants, and we were the only Japanese. The others spoke English, Korean, and Filipino.
At check-in, you need to present payment or a voucher to receive a ticket with the length of the rope indicated. When boarding the boat, you hand the ticket to the crew, but I don't think they check the rope length very carefully. I felt that everyone was treated the same during parasailing.
Once we headed offshore on the boat, we were fitted with parasailing equipment in the order we sat. There is storage for personal belongings at your feet, but since things can get wet and you might move seats, it's better to bring less.
Parasailing started with upbeat music playing loudly. We flew in pairs. The thigh straps served as a seat, making for a comfortable ride, similar to being on a high swing.
There were three unexpected things.
The first was that as a service, at the end of the parasailing, they drop you into the water. Americans love this kind of thing and everyone was really excited. An American on board even requested to do it twice! As a Japanese person, I wasn't quite prepared for getting wet.
The second was that a long time ago, when I did parasailing in Waikiki, it was near the beach, so I could see the coral well. This time, we were further out, so the water was deep and I couldn't see any coral, which was disappointing. There were also parasailing boats near the beach, so I think it's good to choose a tour based on your preference.
The third was that we were asked for tips on the boat. Since I participated with the mindset of a Japanese tour, I didn't have many small dollar bills on hand, which made me feel a bit apologetic.
The weather was perfect, the scenery was beautiful, and it was a very enjoyable experience without anything scary. For those considering participation, as mentioned earlier, you will get quite wet, so don't forget a bath towel. Also, bring some cash for tips.
集合はデューク像前。船着場まで約15分。その間、免責関係の英語の書面にサインを求められた。参加者は10名強。日本人は私たちのみ。他には英語、韓国語、フィリピン語…の人たち。
チェックイン時、支払いかバウチャーを提示し、ロープ長の記されたチケットをもらう。船に乗り込む際、チケットを乗務員に渡すのだが、ほぼロープ長は確認していないと思う。パラセーリング中も全員同じだとおもった。
ボートで沖合に出ると、座った順にパラセーリングの装備をつけてもらう。手荷物などは足元に収納があるが濡れたり、席を移動していくので少なめにした方が無難。
ノリノリの音楽を大音量でかけながらパラセーリングがスタート。2名ずつのフライ。
太ももの装備がイス代わりで乗り心地(?)も上々、高めの空中ブランコのような乗り心地。
3つ想定外な事があった。
1つ目はサービスでパラセーリングの最後に水中へドボンしてくれる。アメリカ人はこういう事が大好きでみんな大興奮。同乗のアメリカ人は2回つけて!とリクエストするくらい。日本人としては「え〜濡れる!」とやや心の準備が足りなかった。
2つ目は大昔、ワイキキでパラセーリングをしたときはビーチ近くでしたので珊瑚がよく見えた。今回は沖の方だったので海が深く珊瑚が見えず残念… ビーチの方でもパラセーリングのボートが出ていたので好みでツアーを選んでも良いと思う。
3つ目は船の中でチップを求められた事。日本のツアーの気分で参加したので少額のドル紙幣の持ち合わせがあまりなくちょっと申し訳なかった。
お天気も最高だったので、景色もよく、怖いこともなく、非常に楽しく参加できた。参加を検討されている方、前述の通りしっかり濡れるので、バスタオルをお忘れなく。また、チップも。

We had a great time on our trip and the guys were funny. We went on the last trip of the day and it felt a bit rushed. I paid extra for the Xtreme Parasail package which advertises 10-12 minutes but only got just over 6 minutes from my recorded GoPro time. We ended up going with the photo package and the pics turned out great. Thank you for the great experience.

This time, due to time constraints, we opted for this optional tour separate from the travel agency's tour. We chose the highest height of 150 meters. There were four other groups besides us, making a total of five groups. First, we gathered at the Ambassador Hotel near our accommodation and took a trolley, arriving at the port in about 10 minutes. The check-in was quick, as we just showed the voucher saved on our smartphone, and it was done in five minutes! Then we set sail!
There were some waves, but it wasn't enough to make anyone seasick. However, one lady from the first pair slipped and hit her bottom hard (laughs). The other three groups finished without any issues. The Chinese couple in front of us handed us their smartphone, and we took a ton of pictures from takeoff to landing (including one where they were kissing).
When it was our turn, the staff asked in English, "Shall we take a photo? It's $35," to which I replied, "YES," and we got ready to fly. We were told that using a selfie stick was at our own risk, but we brought one along. The height of 150 meters was scarier than I imagined, but I got used to it after a while and was very satisfied with the views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and even whales!!! It was also fun when the staff playfully lowered us to the point where our feet got wet before we were picked up.
Since we were the last group, it felt like we flew for a bit longer. In the end, we received an SD card and paid $35 plus a tip. On the way back, instead of taking the shuttle bus, we walked along Waikiki Beach and stopped by Ala Moana Center before heading home.
We anticipated some splashes while on the boat, so we wore swimsuits. I think it's better to wear a swimsuit or clothes that can get wet. After returning, I was very satisfied to see that they had taken 70 photos for us. I highly recommend everyone to join this tour!!!
今回は時間の都合もあり旅行会社のツアーとは別にこのオプショナルツアーを申し込みました。高さは一番高い150メートルを選択しました。
自分たちの他に4組いたので計5組でした。まず宿泊していたホテルの近くにあるアンバサダーホテルに集合してトロリーに乗りそこから10分程で港に到着しました。手続きもスマートフォンに保存していたバウチャーを見せて5分で終了!そして出航!
波は少しありましたが船酔いで吐くほどではありませんでした。しかし、最初のペアの1人のおばちゃんが滑ってお尻強打してました(笑)他の3組は何事も無く無事に終了。
私達の前の中国人カップルにはスマホを渡され飛び立つところから回収されるところまで写メを爆裂撮りました。(チューしてるところも)
私達の順番になりスタッフから「写真撮ろうか?35ドルだよ」と英語で言われ「YES」と答え飛ぶ準備をしました。自撮り棒は自己責任でということだったのですが持って飛びました。
150メートルという高さは想像以上に高くて怖かったのですが、しばらくすれば慣れてしまいワイキキの景色、ダイヤモンドヘッド、クジラも見えて大満足でした!!!回収される前にスタッフのイタズラで足が水に浸かるぐらいまで降ろされたのも楽しかったです。
最後の1組だったため飛んでる時間も若干長かった気がします。最後にSDカードをもらい35ドル+チップを払いました。帰りは、送迎のバスに乗らずワイキキのビーチを歩いてアラモアナセンターに寄って帰りました。
船に乗っている間水しぶきがあると予想していたので私達は水着を着用していきました。水着を着用するか、濡れても良い服を着て行った方が良いと思います。
帰ってから撮って頂いた写真を見ると70枚も撮ってくれていて大変満足でした。
皆さん是非このツアーに参加することをお勧めします!!!

My wife wanted to go, so we included it in our itinerary. Surprisingly, I didn't feel much fear; once we were up in the air, it was a world of silent wind and scenery, and I truly felt like a bird. The time spent up there wasn't very long, but the satisfaction was high.
In the tour we participated in, the staff had a playful spirit, and there were some fun little anecdotes before and after landing (I'll keep the details to myself). Overall, it was a great experience.
家内が行きたがっており、旅程に組み込みました。
案外怖さは感じず、上空に上がると音のない風と景色だけの世界で、まさに鳥になった気分でした。時間はそう長くありませんでしたが、満足度は高いです。
私たちの参加したツアーでは、スタッフさんに茶目っ気があり、着水前後にちょっとした小ネタがありました(詳細は伏せます。)。それも含めて、楽しかったです。

My son and I went parasailing for the first time. It was thrilling to go up so high, but the feeling of looking down at Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sky was amazing! In addition to parasailing, the mini cruise on the boat was also very enjoyable as we cut through the wind. We had a great time taking pictures with the other passengers as well. I highly recommend it!

I participated at a height of 150m, but I felt that there wasn't much difference above a certain height. However, if you go too low, the time spent in the air becomes shorter, so I recommend a medium height.
In the air, I experienced a mix of fear and excitement, which made for a very good experience.
Regarding the boat ride, the speed and handling were so intense that I felt like I might be thrown into the sea if I wasn't holding on tight, which was another attraction in itself.
You can have photos taken, but they cost $30, so I didn't purchase any. I thought it would have been nice if they offered them for free. (Since there were four of us, we took turns taking pictures with an iPhone.)
高さ150mで参加しましたが、一定の高さ以上は変わらないという印象です。ただしあまり低いと空中での時間が短くなるので、中くらいをお勧めします。
空中では恐怖と感動とが入り混じって、とても良い経験をさせていただきました。
なおボートでの移動に際して、捕まっていないと海に投げ出されそうなほど、激しいスピード、ハンドルワークがまた一つのアトラクションでした。
写真は撮っていただけるのですが、30$とのことで購入しませんでした。サービスしてくれてもいいのになあと思いました。(家族4人だったので交代にてiphoneで撮影)

Parasailing ★★★★☆
Transportation ★★☆☆☆
Photography (30$) ★★★☆☆
This time, I experienced 120 meters! Parasailing was a lot of fun. Surprisingly, it was quiet, and I was able to enjoy beautiful views from high up. It was a great experience. I wish I could have flown a bit longer. I think the flight time was about 10 minutes. It felt like the flight time was a little short compared to the overall duration, so I gave it four stars. There were four groups of participants, and we took turns flying. While others were flying, we waited on the boat, so I felt it might get boring if you fly first and have to wait until everyone is done. We were the third group.
The transportation arrived 30 minutes late. It was good that the staff at our hotel confirmed it over the phone, but I was anxious. The driver said "busy busy," but I think the delay was due to having one boat and one shuttle van rotating four groups every hour.
I requested photography. After getting off the boat, I received an SD card for 30$. It contained 90 images. They took pictures of us taking off, returning to the boat, the scenery from the boat, and some two-shots on the boat. Since they were taken in burst mode, most of the photos are quite similar. So, while there are 90 images, I don't think it feels that much of a bargain. However, the boat does sway quite a bit, so while it's not impossible, it's difficult to take pictures with your own phone or camera. If you want to keep photos of your parasailing experience, I recommend requesting it. Before taking off, they ask, "Photo thirty dollars." I think it's better to say "YES PLEASE" here. They hardly took photos of those who didn't intend to buy. After getting off the boat, they let you check the contents of the SD card through the camera. I think you can decide whether to buy or not at that time.
パラセイリング★★★★☆
送迎★★☆☆☆
写真撮影(30$)★★★☆☆
今回は120メートルを体験しました!パラセイリングはとても楽しかったです。意外にも静かで高いところから美しい景色を眺めることができました。良い経験が出来ました。もう少し長く飛んでいたかったです。滞空時間は10分程度だったと思います。全体の所要時間に対して滞空時間が少しだけ短いように感じたので、星は4つです。計4組の参加者がおり、順番に飛びます。他の方々が飛んでいる間はボートで待っているので、最初に飛んでしまうと全員が飛び終わるまで待つのが退屈になりそうと感じました。私たちは3番目でした。
送迎が定時より30分遅れて到着しました。滞在ホテルのスタッフに電話で確認を取ってもらえたので良かったのですが、不安でした。「busy busy」とドライバーは言っていましたが、1隻のボートと1台の送迎車で4組を1時間毎に繰り回しているために遅れが生じているのだと思います。
写真撮影をお願いしました。ボートを降りてから30$でSDカードを受け取ります。90枚画像が入っていました。飛び立つところやボートに戻ってくるところ、ボートからの風景、ボートでのツーショットなどの写真を取っていただきました。連写で撮影しているので、同じような写真がほとんどです。ですので、90枚もありますが、そこまでお得感があるというわけではないと思います。しかし、ボートの上はかなり揺れますので、自分の携帯やカメラで撮影するのは不可能ではありませんが難しいです。もし、パラセイリングの写真を残したいのならばお願いするべきでしょう。飛び立つ前に「シャシン サンジュウドル」と聞かれます。ここで「YES PLEASE」と言う方が良いと思います。買う意思がない方の写真はほとんど撮っていませんでした。ボートを降りてSDカードの中身をカメラ越しに確認させてくれます。買うか買わないかはその時でも決められると思います。

About the shuttle service: It was not the flashy van mentioned on the voucher, but rather a blue van with no markings. The driver, who only spoke English, was asking people who seemed to be tour participants, "Parasailing?" so I think it wouldn't be a problem even if you don't understand the language.
Despite being 56, my mother, who has loved thrill rides since she was young, and I, who get cold sweats even when the airplane shakes, decided to take on the challenge. It was my first time parasailing, but the handsome staff provided instructions in Japanese, English, and Chinese, making everything very easy to understand.
The first group was an American couple, and as the boat sped up, we were all nervous on the boat, but the couple up in the air was extremely excited. When it was our turn in the second group, the moment we sat at the back of the boat and waited was the scariest part, but once we were up in the air, there was no shaking or ups and downs; we were simply moved by the beautiful blue sky of Hawaii and the sparkling ocean spread out below us.
When we descended, it was not a rapid drop but a slow one, gently splashing into the sea and then coming back up, and finally, we were softly lowered down.
It became the best memory of Hawaii!
シャトルサービスについて:バウチャーに書いてある派手なバンではなく、青色の何の表記も無いバンでした。英語しかしゃべらない運転手さんがツアー参加者っぽい人たちに「パラセイリング?」と声掛けてたので、たとえ言葉が分からなくても問題ないと思います。
56にも関わらず若いときから絶叫系大好きな母と、飛行機が気流で揺れても冷や汗搔く私のコンビで挑戦しました。人生初のパラセイリングだったが、スタッフのイケメンが日本語英語中国語で指示出していたので、説明がすごく分かりやすかったです。
1組目はアメリカ人のカップルで、実際ボートがスピード出して飛ばしていくにつれて、ボートにいた私たちがどきどきハラハラしてましたが、上に上がったカップルは大興奮してました。2組目で順番が回ってきて、船尾に座って待ってた瞬間が怖さマックスでしたが、実際上がっていくと、揺れも無く、上下の起伏もなく、ただひたすらハワイの青空と一面に広がる海の輝きに感動されました。
降りていくときも急降下ではなく、ゆっくりで、海にポチャンしてまた上がって、最後にやさしく降ろしてくれました。
ハワイ最高の思い出になりました!

I have a fear of heights and I'm not good with roller coasters, but after reading some experiences, I thought it might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I decided to challenge myself and go for the 150m jump.
There were three groups participating, including my husband and me, a French couple, and a newlywed Japanese couple. We arrived five minutes early, and while I was looking around, a plump gentleman was already waiting. When they called my name, we boarded the bus.
We then met up with the other two couples and arrived at a place with many boats. After receiving our tickets, we quickly boarded a boat, and in about five minutes, we reached the jumping spot. I took some stomach medicine just in case, but the sea was so beautiful that I didn't feel any seasickness at all.
As others have mentioned, there was no explanation for us (maybe it was in English), and just as we were fitted with the equipment, the Japanese couple jumped first. During that time, lively reggae music was playing loudly, creating a fun atmosphere.
Then it was our turn! We ascended slowly, so there was no fear at all—just excitement! However, after a few minutes at the highest point, both my husband and I felt a bit weak in the knees. But looking around, the view was so beautiful that the feeling of pleasure outweighed any fear.
After about seven minutes of flying, we had our traditional splash into the sea, and we went in up to our chests, which was a lot of fun. The staff who weren't operating the boat took pictures with my husband's phone, and we were very satisfied! There were even some videos included, which was a nice surprise (laughs).
At the end, they asked for tips, and while I didn't see how much the other couples gave, I thought around 10% would be appropriate, so I gave $20. On the way back on the bus, since we were the last ones, I handed $5 to the gentleman, and he happily said, "Thank you, brothers!" which made me feel good.
If possible, I wish the driver and the boat staff could speak Japanese, so I deducted one star, but I would definitely like to use this service again when I go to Hawaii. Thank you very much!
高所恐怖症&ジェットコースターが大の苦手な私でしたが体験談を読んで、一生に一度かもしれないと思い150mに挑戦しました。
私達夫婦以外にフランス人カップルと日本人の新婚さん夫婦の3組で参加でした。
5分前には着いたのですが、ふくよか体型のおじ様が既に待っていてキョロキョロしていたら名前を呼ばれバスに乗り込みました。
そのまま2組とも合流し、船が沢山ある場所につきチケットを貰ったらすぐに船に乗り込み、5分くらいで飛ぶ場所に、、
酔い止めがなく一応胃薬はのんだんですが
船酔いなんて全然しないほど、海が綺麗でした。
皆様が書いてあるように私達には説明がなく(もしかしたら英語で言ってたのかも)器具を装着されたと思ったら最初は日本人夫婦が飛び、その間は
軽快なレゲエ調の音楽を爆音で流してくれてノリノリに♪
次に私達の番でした!
ゆっくり上がってくので恐怖は全然なく
わー*\(^o^)/*っていう感情のみでしたが、さすがに一番高い所で何分かかいると私も旦那もちょっと足がすくみましたが周りをみるととても綺麗で下さえみなければ気持ちよさが勝ちます。
7分くらいの空の散歩のあとは恒例の海ポチャをしてくれて胸のしたくらいまでは入りましたが楽しかったです。
写真は船を動かしてないスタッフの方が旦那の携帯で撮ってくれて大満足です!!
たまに動画も入ってて驚きです(笑)
そして最後にチップくださーい!
って言われたので他の夫婦はどれくらい渡したかみてませんが大体10%くらいかな?
って思って20ドル渡しました。
帰りのバスのときは私達が最後だったので5ドルおじ様に渡したら
サンキューブラザーズ!!
と言って喜んでくれたのでよかったです。
できれば運転手さんも船のスタッフも日本語が話さればということで☆一つ減らしましたがまた、ハワイに行く際は利用したいです。
ありがとうございました!!
