the crew was AWSOME. In fact, the whole day prior to going up my wife was trying to pay me what i paid to no do the event because she was so scared and we even had to go first! I told her to suck it up and it ended up being her favorite event, and we went for the highest one at 500 feet! They guys were careful and kind to help her through it. The ride was beautiful in the air and on the boat! Ignore the reviews that say the guys hastle you for tips and there isn't $20 dollar bills all over the boat. There is some on a pole near the front, maybe 6, and the guys say if you enjoyed the ride tips are welcomed. So if all that makes you feel pressured, then stop whining and enjoy the ride or don't go at all!
have fun!

My daughter and her best friend were given a trip to Hawaii as a graduation gift. They went parasailing while there. They had a great time doing it. As a way to remember this once in a lifetime experience, I paid for the 24 exposure roll of pictures to be taken. When they returned home, the roll of film was brought to be processed. We were disappointed when none of the pictures came out. The negatives showed only two partial pictures, neither of which were the girls.

Was such a nice experience. When you are so far up in the air it seems so quiet and peaceful. Hawaii offers a great view. The crew rocked! Booking through Hawaii Activities was VERY easy and made check-in much faster!!

Before I book this activity I thought as an individual, they will put myself on the "parachute" only, but they weren't, they simply put me with two other strangers together, I don't even know them, I feel so bad. That's why I didn't leave them a penny. The shuttle drivers is a nice guy, I leave him 10 bucks.

This time, I really wanted to go tandem parasailing in Hawaii, so I researched various sites and decided on this one. The many positive reviews from past visitors were a deciding factor. However, my only concern was that it seemed like no one would speak Japanese. My wife was worried about that too. On the day of the activity, while waiting near the Duke Kahanamoku statue, a van arrived. As expected, the driver clearly didn't seem to speak Japanese. From there, we went around to various hotels, and a total of five groups joined us, but everyone except us was a foreigner who could speak English. My wife had an even more anxious expression on her face... Meanwhile, the driver was explaining things in English, but I couldn't understand anything (laughs).
Then we arrived at Kealoha Bay. When we showed our tickets, we were given a paper with the time and the boat we would be taking, and we waited for a bit. Additionally, it seemed that the four groups we were with were going to do jet skiing, so they headed in a different direction from us...
When it was time to go to the designated boat, there were four other foreigners on board, and we were all set to go. Up until this point, it sounds a bit negative, but from here on, it was completely different. The group we were with included a family of five (the wife was just along for the ride and took photos), a couple in their 40s, and two friends in their 20s, along with us, and everyone was cheerful. The captain? and the young camera assistant explained everything in a bright and easy-to-understand manner, and they provided explanations in Japanese at key points. There was a place to store our belongings, so it was no problem to bring a small backpack.
We headed out on the boat, and the parasailing began! As for the parasailing itself, it was amazing and exceeded my expectations. The flight lasted about ten minutes, and it was so much fun. The young man took photos for us. It was an additional $15, but I was satisfied with the quality. They handed it to us on film, so be sure to keep it in your carry-on to avoid exposure.
So, having a lot of anxiety was part of the fun. The mention of adventure in our belongings might be related to this experience.
今回、ハワイでどうしてもパラセーリングをタンデムでやりたくて、いろんなサイトで調べてここに決めました。
過去の書き込みもいい感想が多かったのが決め手。
ただ、日本語が通じそうにないのが唯一の不安。嫁もそこをずっと心配していました。そして、当日、デュークカナハモク像の近くで待っていると、一台のバンが。予想通り、明らかに日本語が通じそうにないドライバー。そこから、様々なホテルを回り、計5組が一緒になりましたが、私達以外は全て英語が通じそうな外国人ばかり。嫁の顔には一層不安な表情が・・・そんな中ドライバーはずっと英語で説明なようなことをしていましたが、一切わかりません(笑)
そして、ケアロ湾に到着。ここでチケットを見せると、時間と乗るボートの書いた紙を渡されて、しばし待つ。おまけに一緒に乗った4組はどうやらジェットスキーをやるようで僕らとは別の方向へ・・・
そして、時間になって指定されたボートに行くと、別の外国人が4組いて、ボートに乗せられました。
ここまでがなにかネガティブな内容ですが、ここからは全く違います。
一緒に乗った外国人は5人家族が一組(奥さんはただ同乗してカメラ係)、40代の夫婦と20代の女性の友達2人と我々でしたが、みんな陽気。船長?とカメラ係の若者が明るくわかりやすく説明してくれるし、要所は日本語で説明してくれます。荷物も置く場所があるので、ナップサックに入れていけば問題なし。
ボートで沖まで進み、パラセーリングがスタート!
肝心のパラセーリングはといえば、最高で、期待以上でした。およそ10分間のフライトですが、楽しくてしょうがない。写真は、この若者がとってくれます。15ドル別料金ですが、出来も満足ですよ。フィルムで渡されるので、手荷物に入れて感光しないように。
というわけで、不安一杯で望むのも楽しみの一つ。持ち物に冒険心と書かれているのはこのあたりがあるのかも。

We participated with eight people, including a five-year-old. I had heard that there were no Japanese staff, but I was relieved to find a very kind Japanese female staff member. The parasailing was a lot of fun, but I got seasick on the boat before we reached the sea. While feeling good is important, I think motion sickness medication is necessary. Perhaps because the wind was strong, we rode in groups of four. I wished we could have gone in pairs instead. Also, we were told that if we felt like it, we could give a tip, but I thought the fee should have included the tip... so my family ended up paying. The photos were available for purchase along with the negatives.
5歳児含め8名で参加しました。
スタッフの方に日本人はいないと聞いてましたが、
とても親切な日本人スタッフの女性が居て安心しました。
パラセイリングはとても楽しかったのですが、船で海に出るまでに酔ってしまいました。
気持ちも大切ですが、酔い止めは必要かと思います。
風が強かったからか、4人ずつ乗りました。
2人ずつ乗りたかったなと少し思いました。
それからチップを気持ちがあればお願いしますと言われたのですが、料金にはチップが含まれてたはず...と思いながら、家族が支払いました...。

I love these people! This was the greatest. We reserved 2 for parasailing and 2 observers on the boat. Getting the confirmations online was easy. The directions to the pick-up was simple to find. They picked us up and delivered us back to our hotel. The parasailing itself was da bomb! Our driver and his co-worker were most awesome and very friendly. They did NOT make you give them a tip; you wanted to. They deserve every penny they make! Quite frankly, I could have spent all days with these guys; they were so much fun. It's a quick ride, but the most fun EVER. If you do not do this, you're crazy!

It was my first time in Hawaii, and I'm really glad I signed up for this tour. The weather was fantastic, and since it started at 9:00 AM, it felt great to fly and have a stunning view of Honolulu.
We went out to sea on a boat, and from there, they took us flying. The guy driving the boat and the one preparing the equipment were both very kind and quite playful. Although they didn't speak Japanese, I had a great time.
If you haven't tried it yet, I definitely recommend experiencing it at least once. It's highly recommended!

As soon as we arrived in Hawaii, my friend and I experienced it together. It was definitely expensive! But the scenery and the ocean were beautiful, and we could see Diamond Head clearly.
There were mostly white tourists, and the instructors couldn't speak Japanese. However, the explanations were easy to understand, so we could enjoy the experience with peace of mind. My friend and I were the only Japanese people there, but that made me feel like I was really on a trip, which was great.

We participated as a family of six. This was my second time parasailing, but everyone else was experiencing it for the first time. The women were particularly scared, but once we were up in the air, we were all amazed to see the city of Waikiki from nearly 100 meters high! The feeling of flying over the deep blue sea was truly indescribable. The staff were all cheerful and playful, which helped ease our nerves, and we appreciated that.

My husband and I went parasailing for the 1st time.
ALL WE CAN SAY IS THAT IT WAS PROBABLY THE BEST THING WE DID WHILE WE WERE IN OAHU!
There were 3 men who took us to this extreme ride.
(A captain, a parasail instructor, and another guy who helped) and they were all awsome! Very friendly, knowledgable guys who made us feel comfortable from start to finish. The parasail instructor, we forgot his name, also took our pics from the boat while we were on the ride and after developing them, took some great shots! He was great! By the way, they will offer to take a roll of pics for you and it's $15 for the whole 24 exposure film.
Some reviews seem to complain about tipping and how they felt uncomfortable that there were signs up almost begging for tips. It was totally not like that in our case. Sure, it did say "TIPS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME" butin no way did it seem unappropriate. They totally deserved our tip!
The ride itself was breathtaking... we went so high up (1000 ft, i beleive? it

During a company trip to Hawaii, I had been there a few times before, but for others, it was their first time. So, we decided to book parasailing, something we could all enjoy together for the first time.
We went quite far out, and the boat was pretty fast, but I didn't feel seasick at all! There was one American family besides us. A really cute little girl (maybe around 5 years old?) looked scared at first as she went up with her dad, but when they came back, she was all smiles!
We rode on a sort of two-person bench and went really high up, which allowed us to see quite far into the mountains—it felt great! When we came down, before returning to the boat, the staff played their usual prank of dipping just our bottoms in the sea, which was quite cold, but it was fun to take pictures of that moment from the boat.
Also, I was thrilled when dolphins swam around us after we went out! That's Hawaii for you! We all happily took pictures together. I think it's a great activity for families, even with small children, and I would recommend it to those who aren't into intense activities!
社員旅行で訪れたハワイ、私は何度か来たことがありましたが、他の人は初めてだったので、何かみんなで楽しめるものを、ということで、初めてこちらのパラセイリングを予約しました。
だいぶ沖に出るのですが、結構船のスピードは速いです。でも酔うようなことはありませんでした☆
私たち以外にはアメリカ人のご家族が1組。すごく可愛い女の子(まだ5歳くらいかな?)も最初は怖そうにパパと上がっていきましたが、帰ってきたときにはニッコニコでした!
二人がけのベンチのようなものに乗って、かなり高くまで上がるので、結構遠くの山が見えて気持ちがよかったです♪
下に降りてきたときは、船に戻る前にスタッフがお決まりのいたずらで、おしりだけ海にちょっとつけられるので、結構冷たいですが、その瞬間を船から写真で撮りあったりして面白かったです。
また、沖に出てからイルカが周りを泳いでくれたのに感動!さすがハワイ!みんなで喜んで写真を撮りました☆
小さい子供さんがいても家族で楽しめるし、激しいアクティビティが苦手な方にもお勧めだと思います♪

Parasailing was the first tour my boyfriend and I decided to do in Oahu. It was very beautiful from 700 feet up in the air and very peaceful. The staff did a wonderful job and we were very pleased. The only disappointment was the $20.00 bills taped up and down the railing of the boat making sure that you knew to tip $20.00. We also did the Shark Tour and ATV Tour and no where else was tipping mentioned like it was here. The staff didn't insist that you tip but the dollar bills there pretty much insisted it which made it a bit uncomfortable. Overall, parasailing was a great choice and we would definitely do it again on a future trip!

This was my first time ever para-sailing. I went with my boyfriend and signed up for the standard package for 350ft. However, to our suprise, the boat man gave us all 3 couples on the boat the extreme package at no extra cost. It was awesome after all, at first I was hesistant of going so high up in the air because I have a slight fear of heights but, once your up there you dont feel it at all. So that was a great plus. They also offer photography on the boat so dont bother bringing your camera up there unless you have a water proof pack with a zoom lens. The only gripe we had was that we took that offer to have them help us photograph the ride, but his shutter was defective that day and our pictures didn't turn out. We went back to show them what happened and they refunded the cost to us. so overall i'll go again if i ever return to Hawaii

It was amazing!!
At first, I was a bit anxious, but once I flew, it felt incredible!
We went from the lowest height of 210 meters, but it was more than enough fun.
Aside from us as a couple, all the other participants were foreigners, and the staff didn't seem to understand Japanese, but that made it fresh and enjoyable in a way. The seasickness mentioned in the reviews didn't affect anyone on our boat. I tend to get motion sickness, so I took medication beforehand, but I felt like I could have been fine without it. The wind was strong, and the boat rocked quite a bit, but the time flew by until all five groups had jumped; I don't think we were on the boat for even an hour.
The photos are just 15 for one negative, so I think that's cheap.
I'm looking forward to developing them! ☆
There was also a little boy and an elderly man on our boat, so I think people of all ages can enjoy it.
Next time, I definitely want to try jumping from a higher height!
最高でした!!
最初は不安でしたが、飛んでみたら最高に気持ちよかった!
一番低い210Mでしたが、十分楽しめました。
私達カップル以外参加者は全員外国人だったし、スタッフの方も日本語は通じない感じでしたが、それが逆に新鮮で楽しかったです。書き込みにあった船酔いも、私達の船に乗った参加者は全員平気でしたよ。私は酔いやすいので薬を飲んで行ったのですが、飲まなくても平気だったんじゃないかなって感じでした。風が強くて船はよく揺れましたが、私達含め5組飛び終わるまでがホントにあっと言う間で、船に乗っている時間は1時間もないんじゃないでしょうか?
写真もネガ一本で15?なので安いと思います。
現像するのが楽しみです☆
私達の船には、小さな男の子も一人参加のおじいさんもいたので、年齢問わず楽しめると思います。
次は是非一番もっと高く飛んでみたいです!
