It was my first experience! It was so much fun. You rarely get to have such an experience, right? We were the first to jump from the boat, and there was a rainbow right above us!! I was moved by the feeling of flying in the sky, the beautiful scenery, and being able to see the rainbow! Then, on our way back to the port after everyone finished jumping, we unexpectedly encountered a pod of dolphins! We were able to see wild dolphins up close. A series of lucky events made it the best trip ever.
初めての体験!とってもたのしかったです。こんな体験めったにできないですもんね。私達は乗った船の中で一番に飛んだのですが、ちょうど真上に虹がでていたんです!!空を飛んでいることと、景色がとってもきれいなこと、虹を見れたこと、すべてに感動!そして全員が飛び終わって港に戻る途中、偶然イルカの群れに遭遇!野生のイルカを間近でみることができました。いくつものラッキーが重なって最高の旅になりました。

Since I applied online, I was a bit anxious until the day of the event, but I was able to go parasailing without any issues. I especially appreciated the kind assistance we received even though we changed our schedule just two days before our departure.
The meeting point on the day might be a little hard to find, but there is a police station nearby, so it might be a good idea to ask if you're unsure. A friendly female police officer helped us out. Since it's a place with many tourists, I think they get asked for directions often.
There were others who boarded from the same location as us, and everyone was foreign, so the car was filled with non-Japanese people! I was quite anxious, but when we arrived at the site, I was relieved to see some Japanese people there as well. Additionally, during the parasailing, everyone was Japanese, which made me feel more at ease!
There were six groups on our boat, and everyone applauded when we took off. It created a sense of unity... Falling into the sea at the end was also quite amusing. I was so nervous that I didn't even get seasick... However, for those who are worried, it might be a good idea to take some medication.
Lastly, we paid a $5 tip for the two of us. The photos (negatives) cost $15, but since it's a rare experience, I don't think that's too expensive.
インターネットからの申し込みだったので、当日まで不安でしたが無事パラセイリングをする事ができました。
特に私たちは、出発の2日前に日程を変更したにもかかわらず親切に対応していただき、有難かったです。
当日の集合場所が、少しわかりづらいかもしれませんが、近くに警察署があるので、わからなければ聞いてみるのもいいかもしれません。親切に女性の警察官が教えてくださいました。観光客が多い場所なので、よく聞かれるんだとおもいます。
私たち以外にも同じ場所から乗車された方もいましたが、皆さん外国の方で、車の中も全員外人さん!
不安いっぱいでしたが、いざ現地につくと日本人の方もいらっしゃり安心しました。
また、パラセイリング時には全員が日本人だったので安心でした!
私たちの船には6組いましたが、全員が飛び立つ時に拍手がおこります。団結力ができるような・・
最後に海に落とされるのも面白いですよ。
緊張のあまり船酔いもなく・・
ただ、心配な方はお薬を飲んだ方がいいかもしれません。
最後にチップは二人で5ドル支払いました。
写真(ネガフィルム)は15ドル必要ですが、めったに出来ない経験なので、そこまで高くないとおもいます。

I can't believe I could experience parasailing at such a low price! I chose the cheapest course, but I had plenty of fun. We went out to sea on a boat, and the guys driving the boat and preparing the equipment were very kind and quite playful. As we gradually went higher, I didn't feel scared at all. It felt like floating gently, and the view was amazing!!! I could see the ocean and Diamond Head beautifully. While I was flying, a plane took off right at that moment, and it was thrilling to see the plane in the air. I flew with an American woman, and we chatted and had a great time. It became a wonderful memory.
パラセイリングがこんなに安価で体験できるなんて!
一番安いコースにしましたが、充分に楽しめました。
ボートで沖まで出て、そこから飛ばしてくれるのですが、船を運転するお兄さんも用具を準備してくれるお兄さんもとても親切でとってもお茶目な人たちでした。
徐々に高くなっていくので、全然怖くなかったです。
ふんわり浮いている感じで、景色は最高です!!!海もダイアモンドヘッドもとてもきれいに見えました。
私が飛んでいる時にちょうど飛行機が飛び立ったところで、空中で飛行機を見れたのも感動でした。
私はアメリカ人の女性と一緒に飛びましたが、おしゃべりしたりしてとても楽しかったです。
とてもいい思い出になりました。

Most of the customers were Caucasian. However, the instructions and requirements were not difficult, and as long as you follow what the person in front of you does, there shouldn't be any language issues. After departing from the harbor, we were out in the waters off Ala Moana Beach in about ten minutes. There, we put on our gear and before we knew it, we were soaring into the sky. It really felt like we were flying, and it was incredibly refreshing. The air was very quiet, and while gently floating for a little over ten minutes, we enjoyed views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, rainbows, and planes flying above. The landing was completely smooth, and I didn't feel any burden at all. The price felt reasonable, so I definitely recommend it. They take photos for a fee, but I usually don't request those. However, since there were four of us, it was $15, and they give you the film on the way back, which is also affordable. I tipped $5 per person. Given this price, I really felt it was worth trying for a memorable travel experience.
お客さんはほとんどが白人系でした。でも注意事項も要領もそんな難しくなく、前の人の通りにやれば語学の点では問題ないです。港を出発して10分程度でアラモアナビーチの沖に出ます。そこで装具をつけてあらよというまに、空に飛び出します。本当に飛び出されるという感じで、とっても爽快。空中はとても静かで、ワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッド、虹や上空を飛び交う飛行機を眺めながら、ふわりふわりと10分少々の心地より空中散歩です。着地も全くスムースで何の負担も感じませんでした。値段的にもお手ごろ感があるので、是非ともお勧めします。写真を有料で撮ってくれるんですが、通常そういうのは頼まないのですが、4人で行って$15、帰りににはフィルムをくれるので、こちらもお手ごろです。チップは一人5ドル払いました。このお値段ならば、旅の記念にチャレンジしてみてよかったと、つくづく思った次第です。

The pickup bus was about 10 minutes late, which made me a bit anxious, but I was prepared for that, so it wasn't a problem. The other participants were all foreigners, which heightened the feeling of being on vacation abroad, and now that I think about it, I’m glad there weren't any Japanese people. We hardly understood any English, but it felt like there was no need to worry. I had heard that the boat would sway, so I took motion sickness medication, and that helped. Indeed, the speed was quite fast, and there was enough bouncing that taking the medication might be a good idea for peace of mind. The view of Hawaii from the sky was truly amazing. Up there, it hardly swayed, so my partner and I could quietly enjoy the scenery. I was able to bring an underwater camera, so I took beautiful photos from above and was very satisfied.
ピックアップのバスが10分くらい遅れたので少しドキドキしましたが、それくらいのことは覚悟の上だったので問題なしでした。
参加者は私たち以外は外国の方たちでしたが、海外に遊びに来たという気分が高まって、今になって思うと日本人がいなくて良かったかなと思います。
私たちは英語がほとんどわかりませんでしたが心配いらない感じでした。
ボートが揺れると聞いていたので酔い止めを飲んでいったので大丈夫でした。確かにスピードもかなり出てたしバウンドするくらいの揺れだったので飲んで行ったほうが安心かもしれません。
空から見るハワイの景色は本当に最高でした。上ではほとんど揺れないので静かに彼とふたりで景色を楽しめました。
水中カメラを持って乗れたので空の上から綺麗な写真も撮れて大満足しました。

In the morning, I participated in a morning cruise on the Makani and then went parasailing. Since the location was close, I joined without transportation. I wondered if I would be scared before it started, but once I was lifted up, I felt no fear at all. I participated with my 9-year-old daughter, and she also said she wasn't scared and enjoyed it. Later, she mentioned that she wanted to do it again. The view from above is amazing, and with only the sound of the wind, it feels incredible. There were two boats, but it seemed they only had the standard one. The boat sped quite a bit on the way to the location, so it was a bit bumpy, but after that, we just floated with the wind, so I didn't get seasick. I would love to participate again.
AMにMakani号のモーニングクルーズで、その後、パラセイリングに参加しました。
場所が近いので、送迎なしで参加しました。
始まる前は怖いかな?とも思いましたが、いざ、浮き上がってからは全く怖さはありませんでした。9歳の娘との参加でしたが、娘も怖くはないとの事で、楽しんでいました。後で、聞いたらまた参加したいとの事。
上からの景色は最高ですし、風の音しか聞こえない中、最高の気分になります。
2艇ありましたが、どうもスタンダードだけの船だったようです。場所に向かうまでの船はかなり飛ばしますので揺れますが、後は、風だけで浮きあがりますので、船酔いはしなかったです。また、参加したいと思います。

I had always wanted to try parasailing. The night before flying, I was excited but also so nervous that I couldn't sleep at all... However! When I actually took off, it felt amazing, and I felt like I was a bird. I kept saying "Wow!" at the beautiful scenery of Hawaii, and before I knew it, I had forgotten my fear.
I was also worried about getting seasick, but since I had read this experience beforehand, I took motion sickness medication before participating, and I didn't feel sick at all (maybe because I was nervous?!). I was able to enjoy my time on the boat with everyone. For those concerned about seasickness, I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication.
The foreigners on the boat don't understand much Japanese, but there's no need to worry at all. Just be aware that the tip was more than I expected, so I recommend bringing a little extra money.
The restroom is located to the left as you head towards the port. However, there is no door, so I think it's a good idea to have your partner keep watch at the entrance.
For those who are hesitant, please try it and experience this wonderful feeling. I want to do it again!
以前からやってみたかったパラセイリング。
飛ぶ前日の夜は楽しみな反面、緊張と興奮のあまり全然眠れませんでした・・・。
しかし!いざ実際に飛んでみると、とても気持ちが良くて
鳥になったような気分でした。
ハワイのきれいな景色にただ「すごい!」の連発でいつのまにか恐怖心は忘れていました。
あと、船酔いを心配していましたが、参加前にこの体験談を読んでいたので、酔い止めを服用して参加したら全然酔わず(緊張していたからかも?!)船上でも皆さんと楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。船酔いが心配な方は、やはり酔い止めの服用をお勧めします。
船上の外人さん達は日本語はあまり通じませんが、まったく心配無用です。ただチップは思った以上だったので少し余分にお金は持参されることをお勧めします。
トイレは港に向かって左にあります。ただしトイレにはドアーがないので入り口でパートナーに見張っていてもらうと良いと思います。
躊躇している方も是非トライしてこの気持ちよさを味わってください。私はまたやりたいです!

I was a bit worried about the roller coaster since it seemed a little scary, but it was completely fine. I can't speak English, but there are Japanese instructions on the boat, and they give directions in Japanese when putting on equipment and during landing, which is reassuring. However, the pickup and check-in at the port are all in English, so I had to watch what others were doing... During the final splash into the sea, even strangers can really get excited together. The wind is strong up there, which is a bit scary, but the view is amazing, so I definitely want to do this again in Hawaii next time.
ジェットコースターも少し恐くなってきていたので大丈夫かと心配でしたが,全く大丈夫でした。
英語はしゃべれないけれど,船には日本語の説明書もあるし
装備を着けるときや着地の時は日本語で指示してくれるので安心です。ただしピックアップや港でのチェックインは全て英語なので周りをみながらの行動になりましたが・・・
最期の海ポチャの時には知らない同志でも結構もりあがれます。上空は風が強いのでそれは少し恐いのですが眺めは最高なので次のハワイでも是非やりたいです。

This parasailing experience is awesome. The kids had a great time (it helped that I offered $20 for a "really good ride.) A crew member even offered to take pictures with my camera for me rather than charge for using theirs (and he took some really unique ones.) The crew was friendly. The shuttle service was on time (though we could have done without the pet bird in the cruise.) I highly recommend this company.

It was also romantic to parasail with my boyfriend, so this is a great activity for couples! (But friends and family as well.)

I recommend this for anyone who is not afraid of heights. You can get a great view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea, and once you're up in the air, it's not as scary as you might think! The explanations are in English, but it's not a big problem if you don't understand them. As part of the service, you will fall into the sea once, so wearing a swimsuit and bringing a towel is essential. Also, it might be cold while you're waiting depending on the weather, so having a hoodie or something similar would be good.
高所恐怖症の方以外にはお勧めです。
ワイキキのホテル群やダイヤモンドヘッドが海上から一望できますし、上空に上がってしまえば思ったほど怖くないですよ!説明は英語ですが解らなくてもそれほど問題ありません。
サービスの一環?で一度海に落ちますので水着着用とタオルは必須です。あと待っている間天候によっては寒いかもしれませんのでパーカー等あればいいですね。

The parasailing was a lot of fun. You go up and you sit in the sky for about eight minutes. The views are amazing, but your time seems a little short. It's very relaxing though, and the staff was definatly having fun with their job. The only thing that was a little surprising was the fact that they advertised literally exactly how much they were expecting to be tipped. At least $20. Other then that it was alot of fun.

We enjoyed the parasailing part of the activity and the transport bus was timely and clean, but the overally experience was tainted by the heavy handed demand for $20.00 tips. Like having dinner at a nice restaurant where the waiter recommends/demand to know the amount of your intended tip before he/she recommending the catch of the day.
the blatant tip demand unfortunately tainted an othewise nice activity. We did tip and would have without the demand for tip, but the demand made me feel unwelcome. wouldnt come back only because of that.
other than that it was as advertised and enjoyable. maybe you dont care or want repeat business. mike.

Parasailing with X-treme Parasailing was a wonderful activity. I thought it would be scary, but in actuality it was a very relaxing experience that I'll never forget. If you listen to the instructions the crew give you, your ride up and back down will be smooth and comfortable. Once in the air, you will experience a wonderful peace as you float high above the water.
I would highly recommend this activity to a wide range of people. We had a 3rd grader and a 62 year old on our boat, and each of them LOVED their parasailing experience. The crew was fun and put every one who was a little nervous at ease with their years of experience and humorous comments. Tipping was optional, and in no way did the crew make me feel like I HAD to tip. I was, however, happy to tip them for the great job they did!
