I requested a pick-up, and I was surprised when I got into the car! Everyone except us was a foreigner. English was flying around in the car, and it seemed like everyone was having a great time. I, who am completely hopeless with English, was just staring blankly the whole time... But once it started, everyone got really excited, and it was a lot of fun. It was a very valuable experience. I wonder if only Japanese people pay tips?? I wasn't really sure about that...
送迎を御願いしたので、車に乗ってみてビックリ!!
私達以外、全員外国の方。
車内では英語が飛び交い、楽しそうです。
英語が全くダメな私は終始ポカーン…
でも、いざ始まると皆さんかなり盛り上がって楽しかったです。
とても貴重な体験でした。
チップは日本人だけが払うんですかね??
なんだか良くわかりませんでした。。。

We paid for the Deluxe package which is $20 more than the Standard package in order to go up to a higher height, and for 5 minutes more of flying (than the standard's 8 min). Well when we went out no matter what package you purchased, you only got 5 minutes in the air. TOTAL RIP OFF!! AND to top it off, by the end of the trip the 2 workers ASKED FOR $20 tips from everyone!! The actual flying was fun, but they should give you what you pay for.

This was the first activity we had planned on Oahu. The actual Parasailing time was wonderful!!! The time spent on the boat with the workers was horrible. To start they wanted us to pay them $15 to take pictures of us (even though the other people in our group were going to do it). When we declined their offer the crew made rude comments almost constantly during the boat ride. (Is he always this cheap? Must be they are saving their money for a sunny day!!! Not good Aloha.) The boat has writing all over it that, "Good karma starts with good tips" and "Tipping is WELCOME." There are $20bills taped all up the handrail as a "suggestion" on how much to tip. Don't forget the 3 times that the crew mentioned that we should not forget to tip them for their hard work! The time spent on the boat was very uncomfortable but parasailing was awesome. In the end I did tip them (only because I felt so uncomfortable) and I am still regretting it.

I was really satisfied because I had decided to do this when I went to Hawaii!
I chose the highest flying plan, and the view was so beautiful that I was moved.
I felt a bit nervous when I had to dip my bottom into the water, but if you don't want to get wet, it's good to let them know before you jump.
It was so much fun that it ended in no time!
I was fine, but I think those who are prone to motion sickness should definitely take some medicine before going!
Also, in addition to the tip, you can get photos taken for about $15, so it might be good to bring some extra money.
We only brought enough for the tip, so we couldn't get any photos... that was the only regret.
It will be a great memory, so I recommend trying it at least once!
ハワイに行ったら絶対やると決めていたのですごく満足でした!!
一番高く飛ぶプランにしたんですが、景色がすごくキレイで感動しました☆彡
水の中におしりをジャボンッと入れられる時はドキドキしたけど水につけられたくない人は飛ぶ前に確認してくれるのでちゃんと言った方が良いですよ♪
楽しくてあっという間に終わってしまいました(´∀`)
私は大丈夫でしたが、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを必ず飲んで行った方がいいと思います!
それとチップの他に$15(かな?)で写真を撮ってもらえるので、余分にお金を持っていったほうがいいかもしれません。
私達はチップ分しか持って行かなかったので写真を撮ってもらえませんでした…それだけが残念でした↓↓
良い思い出になるので一度試したほうがいいですよ☆

I really felt like I became a bird! My friend (who has a fear of heights) was able to observe from a boat, and I was worried about riding solo on the tandem, but a female staff member joined me, which made me feel at ease. It was great that I could participate in the parasailing experience with my friend. My friend fell in love at first sight with a Japanese male staff member who gave us a ride back to the hotel, and even after returning home, she keeps saying, "He was so cool!!!" Both my friend and I made wonderful memories.
本当に鳥になった気分です!友人(高所恐怖症)はボートで見学する事ができたし、私は2人乗りに1人で乗るのかと不安でしたが女性スタッフが同乗してくれて安心でした。パラセイル体験は自分だけでも、友人とツアー参加できたのが良かったです。友人はホテルまで送迎してくれた日本人の男性スタッフに一目惚れしてしまい、帰国してからも「超かっこよかったよね~!!!」と言っています。私も友人もステキな思い出になりました。

- It's recommended because three people can fly together! You can enjoy a leisurely conversation while admiring the scenery up in the sky! The moment you take off is incredibly thrilling! ☆☆☆
- Digital camera photography is frowned upon by the staff... If you sit in a position that's easy to take photos, you might be moved. For $15, a staff member will take your pictures. You'll receive a 24-exposure film to develop back in Japan.
- Tips are collected separately, haha. "Please give us a tip~♪" they say... lol
- Inquiries are only in English, which is a bit concerning. However, as long as you don't get the bus stop wrong, you'll be fine! The person in charge of transportation is nice. Mike at the reception is very handsome. You can communicate easily with the staff on the boat! It's safe.
- Motion sickness. While everyone is flying, you have to wait on the boat. It can be quite intense. Please make sure to take motion sickness medication!
●3人でも一緒に飛べるのでオススメ!
上空では景色を眺めながら、のんびり会話を楽しめます!
飛んでいく瞬間が最高にスリリングです☆☆☆
●デジカメ撮影は係員に嫌がられます…
撮りやすい位置に座ると移動させられたり。
写真撮影は、$15で係員が撮ってくれます。
24枚撮りフィルムで渡されるので、日本での現像です。
●チップは別途徴収されますw
「チップくださ~い♪」と…笑
●問い合わせは英語のみなので、不安です。
しかし、バス停さえ間違えなければ大丈夫!
送迎担当の人も、感じいいし。
受付のMikeはとてもかっこいいし。
船の上では、係員と全然コミュニケーション取れますし!安全です。
●船酔い。
みんなが飛んでいる間は、乗ったまま待機です。
けっこうきます。絶対に酔い止め服用してくださいね!

First of all, I was impressed by the kindness of Alan1, who sent a reminder email about the meeting time and place through the hotel message counter. There were a total of 10 participants in the activity. Except for one colleague from my company, everyone else was from abroad, which made me feel even more like I was on an overseas trip.
Since I was the fourth to jump, I thought it wouldn't be scary based on the reactions of the people before me, but once I actually jumped, I could see all of Waikiki and it was simply "so refreshing!" However, perhaps because the surroundings were wide open with the ocean, even though it was an extreme ride, I didn't feel like we were 300 meters away. But the boat was small enough that I couldn't see the people on it, so we must have been quite far apart.
Finally, when I was dropped into the sea and dragged for 2 to 3 seconds before resurfacing and landing back on the boat, everyone applauded, and it was a wonderfully fun experience. I highly recommend it for those who are not afraid of heights. Also, since the boat sways quite a bit, I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who are prone to seasickness.
まずAlan1さんがホテルのメッセージカウンターを通してまで集合時間と場所の念押しメールを下さった親切さに感心させられました。
アクティビティ参加者はぜんいんで10名。私と会社の同僚1名以外は全て外国の方だったので、海外旅行に来ていることが、より実感出来ました。
飛ぶ順番は4番目だったため先の人の反応から怖くないだろうとは思いましたが、実際飛んでみてワイキキ全体が一望出来「気持ちいい~~」の一言です。
ただ周りが海で広いせいか、エキストリームライドだったのですが300メートルも離れているとは感じませんでした。けどボートが小さく乗っている人が見えなくなるほどなので、実際離れているのでしょう。
最後に海に落とされ2~3秒引きずられた後再浮上しボートに着地したときは、みんなが拍手してくれて和気藹々で最高に楽しかったです。
高所恐怖症で無い人には超お勧めです。
またボートがかなり揺れるため船酔いする人は絶対に酔い止めの服用をお勧めします。

I thought it would be scary, but when I actually went up in the air, I was moved by the beauty of the surrounding scenery. Even though the wind was strong, there was hardly any shaking, and I regretted not bringing my camera.
While I was up there, a rainbow appeared, which made the experience even more amazing. I think it lasted less than 10 minutes, but I was completely satisfied. I felt like I wanted to try it again and again. The staff only spoke English, but they were bold and fun people. Those who can't speak any English might feel anxious, but I think as long as you understand some words, you'll have no problem enjoying it.
I highly recommend it!
怖そうだと思っていましたが、実際上空へ行くと周りの景色のすばらしさに感動。風が強くても揺れはほとんど無く、カメラを持っていかなかったことを後悔したほどです。
上空にいた際、ちょうど虹が出ていて感動倍増。10分も無かったと思いますが、大満足。何回でもトライしたい気分でした。 スタッフも英語しか話せませんが、豪快で楽しい人達。英語がまったく出来ない人は不安かもしれませんが、単語さえ理解できれば問題なく楽しめると思います。

I love parasailing, so whenever I go to a resort abroad, I always do it. The extreme height is quite impressive. Flying over the ocean while feeling the wind is the best! It feels amazing! The view of Honolulu is also great. Towards the end, you splash down into the water up to your waist. Overall, it was so much fun!
However, since most of the instructions were in English, I was a bit confused about which car to take on the way back.
パラセイリングは大好きなので、海外のリゾート地に行くと必ずやってます。
エキストリームはかなりの高さです。
海の上を風を受けながら飛ぶのは最高!

とにかく楽しかったです!

We went parasailing for our honeymoon with my husband for the first time! Everyone else participating was a foreigner, but they all friendly talked to us and we took pictures of each other. Most of the explanations were in English, but important points were explained with gestures and in Japanese. The instructor was also very lively, shaking the ropes and playfully dropping us into the sea, which made it a lot of fun. Since it was our honeymoon, the instructor kindly celebrated with everyone at the end.
I was a bit confused about where to go before and after the ride, but there was a natural flow, so I just followed everyone.
There was no waiting time, and the view of the sea and Diamond Head from above is a must-see!

Parasailing was something I absolutely wanted to try in Hawaii. I was a bit anxious about the fact that everything was in English, but the driver, the instructor (everyone was handsome!), and the ticket booth staff were all very kind, so there were no problems at all. My father (68), who had signed up as an observer, suddenly decided he wanted to participate on-site, so he signed up on the day with his limited English. He was able to join after paying the difference, and off we went to the sea! Everyone else was foreign couples, but the atmosphere was great, and I felt no tension at all. It seems we were set to a height one level above standard, but there was no sense of fear, and we enjoyed the amazing view. Even at my father's age, he could participate and have fun. In the end, we took a great photo with the instructor! We also had photos taken for an additional fee, but since the boat was swaying, I think they turned out better than what we could have taken ourselves. Next time, I’ll challenge myself to go even higher!
ハワイで絶対にやってみたかったパラセイル。英語のみというのが少し不安でしたが、ドライバーさんもインストラクターさん(みんなイケメン!)もチケット売り場の人たちもみんな親切で、全く問題ありませんでした。見学者で申し込みをしていた父(68)が、現地でやっぱり参加したいと言い出したので、つたない英語で当日申し込み。差額の支払いで参加でき、いざ、海へ!私たち以外はみな外国人のカップルでしたが、とてもいい雰囲気で、緊張も全くしませんでした。私たちだけスタンダードより一つ上の高さにしていたらしいのですが、恐怖感は全くなく、最高の眺めを満喫しました。父の年齢でも十分参加できますし、楽しめます。最後はばっちり、インストラクターさんと写真を撮りました♪別料金で写真も撮ってもらいましたが、船が揺れているので、自分たちで撮るよりきれいに撮れるのではないかと思います。次はもっと上まで挑戦します!

Parasailing is fun. x-treme parasailing was not worth the added expense. We saw no difference in the duration of the ride. In fact other riders who did not pay for extreme were given equal and/or better experiences. (ie..same duration and being dunked, also boat pulling them). Honestly, we felt a bit cattled through the process. Would parasail again, but not the x-treme parasailing. Save the added money for something else!

Parasailing for the first time was amazing! My friend Jasmine and I didn't know what to expect and we were definately pleased with our parasailing adventure, friendliness of the staff, and overall experience! The motion of the ocean unfortunately did get to Jasmine, so here's some advice to those who get motion sickness - bring the Dramamine! Other than that, no complaints from us! We highly recommend X-treme parasailing!!!

This was a wonderful opportunity to get a different perspective on Hawaii. It was very peaceful floating above the bay and looking at Honolulu and Diamond Head. It was our first time parasailing. The crew made it very relaxing and stressed safety. We enjoyed dunking our feet in the ocean, before we landed on the boat. It was well worth having them take the pictures for us. They turned out really well, much better than if we had tried to take pictures ourselves. We would definitely do this activity again.
