Since it was my first time, I chose the lowest option at 45 meters, but I was very satisfied. There were no staff members who spoke Japanese, but it wasn't a problem!

It was amazing!!!! 最高でした！！！！

Reviewed by: hanz

I unexpectedly booked parasailing after my brother told me before departure, "You absolutely have to do it!!" The result was truly amazing!!! The first moment of takeoff was a bit scary, but once I was flying, I strangely felt no fear and was just intoxicated by the breathtaking views. In the end, as is customary, I was dropped into the sea and landed on the boat completely soaked.

I highly recommend taking advantage of the $30 photo service! You can receive dozens of photos on an SD card.

By the way, the boat goes quite fast and has some bumps, so if you are prone to motion sickness, it's better to buy some motion sickness pills at ABC Store and take them. (I usually don't get car sick, but I was quite affected this time.)

当初予定になかったパラセーリング、出発前に兄に「絶対やった方がいい！！」と言われて急遽予約を入れました。
結果は本当に最高でした！！！　飛び立つ最初の一瞬だけは怖かったけど、飛んでみると不思議に怖さはなく只々絶景に酔いしれていました。
最後はお約束？で海に落とされ全身ずぶ濡れになった後船に着地。
30ドルで写真撮影のサービスも絶対利用した方がいいです！
数十枚のデータをSDカードでもらえます

ちなみにボートは結構なスピードでしかも揺れがあるので乗り物酔いする人は
ABCストアで酔い止めを買って飲んだほうが良いです。（普段車で酔ったりしないですがこの時は結構やられました）

The tour was really great. However, it seems that the couple on their honeymoon who didn't request additional photo sessions had a significantly shorter time in the air, so that seems to be important.

I participated at 90 meters. It was very moving, and the sea was beautiful. Next time, I might want to go higher. I was told that for $30, I could get photos taken, but since all the participants were Japanese, we passed around a digital camera and took turns! However, there were five groups, so we had to wait about an hour, and most of the groups got seasick. I struggled too—I'd recommend taking medication even for those who usually don't get seasick.

90メートルで参加しました。とても感動で、海が綺麗でした。次はもっと高くてもいいかなー。30ドル払えば写真とってもらえると言われましたが、参加者が全員日本人だったのでデジカメを渡し、取り合いっこしました！ただ5組いたので、1時間くらい待ち時間があり、ほとんどの組が船酔いしてました/ _ ;私も辛かった〜普段酔わない方も薬飲むのをオススメします。

I felt like I became a bird. 鳥になった気分でした

Reviewed by: あきら

I was relieved that there was a shuttle from Waikiki, but no matter how long I waited, the trolley just wouldn't come (I waited for nearly 20 minutes)... In a panic, I thought I had to contact them in English, so I asked the hotel concierge to call for me. They said, "We are at the bus stop, but we can't see you, so we left." Apparently, they came to pick me up while I was away from the bus stop.

I was half resigned to the fact that I might not be able to participate, but they kindly sent a car to pick me up and changed me to the next departure. I am truly grateful for their kindness.

My friend has a fear of heights, but I somewhat forcefully made a reservation for this tour. When we went out to sea on the boat, put on the parachute, and took off from the boat, I was quite nervous at that moment. We climbed higher and higher. I couldn't stop trembling as I looked down, but I was surprised to see my friend, who is supposed to be afraid of heights, having so much fun and being so excited. After a while, I calmed down and was moved by the beauty of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sky.

It was very quiet up there without any wind, and it felt like I had become a bird. The blue horizon and sky were amazing! Although it cost a bit extra, I was glad I requested photo shooting. They quickly burned it onto a DVD and recorded videos, so I had a surprise enjoyment when I returned to Japan. They even captured the moment my feet touched the sea perfectly.

It's a pity I couldn't bring a waterproof camera up there. If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate in this company's tour. It was the best time, feeling like I had become a bird.

I chose the highest altitude. I was able to float gently and enjoy a walk in the sky. Even though I'm not a big fan of heights, it felt nice. The boat was small, but perhaps because the time was short, I didn't get seasick. The shuttle service to and from the location was quite fast, which was a bit scary but refreshing. My Japanese was limited, but I was able to convey the important things. The boat mentioned that tips were included, so we didn't pay, but the participants from Europe and America were tipping, which left us a little confused about what to do.

We even were able to see a few sea turtles. Our favorite part was after you get done snorkeling, they take you out for a quick little sailing trip around the bay.

It was my first time parasailing, and it was super fun! We went on a small boat, so my partner got a bit seasick, but once we took off, it seemed like we were flying. While floating in the air, it felt like a dream, a really strange sensation. The local tour guides were all English speakers, but I could understand them through the nuances, which was great. They explained in English at the start that for $30, they would take photos with a DSLR, and for $40, they would shoot a video, so I requested the photos. Since no one else in my group requested them, I was really happy they took a lot of pictures (about 50!). They even included a bonus video of the splash when we hit the water, which I thought was a nice service!

I feel refreshed. 気分爽快です

Reviewed by: なっき

There is a pickup service from Waikiki that will take you to your hotel or the nearest hotel! However, since other tour buses also stop at the pickup location, I think it would be reassuring to check the appearance of the shuttle bus on the website in advance.

Also, the boat used for parasailing is small and can be quite bumpy. I was fine, but some people in the same group, a parent and child, looked exhausted, so I think it's a good idea for those who are not confident to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

As for the parasailing itself, I chose the height of 150 meters. At first, I was anxious, but once I was flying, I didn't feel scared, probably because the ocean was below me. My wife and I talked about how beautiful the blue sky and the streets of Waikiki were, and we had fun with the crew as they playfully shook the ropes (just a little mischief), and before we knew it, it was over.

The flying time is about 10 minutes, which is short, but since I did it when I was getting bored with sea and mountain activities in Hawaii, I really enjoyed it.

One disappointing moment was when we disembarked after the activity. I was excited from flying in the sky and asked the crew if we could take a photo together, but they responded with a request for a tip, which quickly brought me back down to earth. I couldn't help but think about the cultural difference and why they would ask for that at that moment.

ワイキキから送迎があり、宿泊ホテルか最寄りのホテルまで来てくれます！
但し、送迎場所には他のツアーのバスなども止まっている為、事前にホームページより送迎バスの外見を調べておくと安心だと思います。

また、パラセイリングを行う船は小型で揺れが大きく、私は大丈夫だったのですが、同じグループの方は親子でぐったりしていたので、自信のない方は酔い止めを飲んで置くと良いと思います。

パラセイリング自体は高さ150mを選択し、最初は不安でしたが、飛んでみると下が海のお陰なのか恐怖は感じず、嫁と空の青さやワイキキの街並みが綺麗だねぇと話したり、クルーの人にロープを揺らされて盛り上がったり(⬅︎イタズラ)してるとあっという間に終わってしまいました。

飛んでる時間は10分程度と短いですが、ハワイで海や山のアクティビティに飽きて来た時に行ったので、凄く楽しめました。

残念だったのは、アクティビティ後に下船した際、空を飛んでテンションが上がっており、クルーに一緒に写真撮りましょうと声をかけた所、チップと返答され一気に醒めてしまった事で、文化の違いとはいえこのタイミングで要求するかと思ってしまいました。

I really think I could get addicted to this. 本当に、病みつきになりそう。

Reviewed by: putla

We participated as a couple, and it was both of our first experiences with parasailing. To be honest, I have a bit of a fear of heights, and if I could, I wouldn't want to go to high places. However, at my wife's strong request, I signed up for the experience—at the highest height of 150 meters. After signing up, I was plagued by nightmares (no, really). Even though it was supposed to be a fun trip to Hawaii, I couldn't shake off this event from my mind, and I felt uneasy.

On the day of the tour, I steeled myself for my wife's sake and said, "Let's go!" We were on the first course of the morning, and the weather was clear (though my feelings were cloudy). When the shuttle van arrived, we were given paper wristbands and a patch on our hands indicating the height we signed up for (which was actually the length of the tow rope). We were at 1,000 feet. The other tour participants were all young Japanese girls, and I was the only man. Everyone else was on the 800-foot course (which made me even more anxious). Inside the van, we were handed a consent form (in Japanese as well) and were instructed to read it carefully before signing.

Upon arriving at the dock, we transferred to a boat. We would go offshore to do the parasailing from this boat. On the boat, we were told to go barefoot and put on life jackets. Our belongings were stored in the space under the seats (there were no doors). Safety instructions were given. Although it was in English, the main point was to absolutely not touch the carabiner that connects the parachute to the harness, and to sit as if the harness was resting on our thighs. They mentioned that it could be painful if the harness was too high up on our legs. As we got closer to the parasailing site, a sense of camaraderie naturally developed among everyone on the boat.

The boat arrived at the parasailing site. Right away, the first two people sat side by side at the back of the boat. Once they were connected to the parachute and the boat's engine revved up, they were lifted into the air. There was a huge cheer from those on the boat. The tow rope was released, and they soared high into the sky. After a while, the rope was reeled in, and they splashed down into the sea. There was another round of cheers from the boat. One of the girls who returned said, "I didn't want to come back!" which left an impression on me. One by one, pairs of people took their turns soaring through the air. Everyone returned thrilled, saying it was amazing. My anxiety had disappeared before I knew it.

Perhaps due to the difference in rope lengths, my wife and I were in the last group. We sat side by side at the back of the boat and were connected to the parachute. The boat's engine revved up, and off we went into the air. As the rope was released, we floated close to the water's surface. Once the rope was fully extended, we smoothly ascended. I felt no fear at all. The view from above was absolutely stunning! The hotels along Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head, and even distant mountains spread out below us. The boat was cutting through the whitecaps. The breeze was pleasant, and it was a moment of tranquility (though you could still hear the boat's noise). I wanted to stay like this forever. My wife was delighted by the colorful parachute (whatever that means).

After a while, I felt a slight jolt. It seemed the rope had started to be reeled in. Gradually, the boat came closer, and we had the customary splashdown. Cheers erupted from the girls on the boat. We rose a bit again, the rope was reeled in, and we landed at the back of the boat. They removed the parachute, and we got back inside the boat. I high-fived the girls. I felt foolish for having been so anxious.

The boat returned to the dock, and the tour ended (after this, we were taken back to our hotel). As we were leaving, my wife proudly said, "See, I told you we had to do it!" which slightly annoyed me, but I would do it again and again. It truly becomes addictive.

　船着場について、ボートに乗換え。このボートで沖合に出てパラセイリングを行う。ボートの上では、裸足になる様に言われ、ライフジャケットを着る。持ち物は、座席下の収納スペース入れる（扉はなし）。注意事項が説明される。英語だが、要は、パラシュートと体を支えるベルトとを繋ぐカラビナ部分には絶対に触るな！ということと、体を支えるベルトを太腿あたりに当て椅子に座る様な感じ。ベルトを足の付け根辺りに当てると痛いよ的なことだった。　パラセイリング場に近づくにつれ、ボート内の皆んなに自然と連帯感が。
　ボートは、パラセイリング場に到着。早速、最初の二人がペアでボートの後ろに横並びで座る。パラシュートに繋がれ、ボートのエンジンを吹かすと二人は空中に。ボート上では大喝采。牽引ロープが繰り出され、空高く舞い上がってゆく。しばらくして、ロープが巻き取られ、二人は、海面にポチャリ。ボート上は、またまた大歓声。ボートに戻った女の子の一人が、「戻りたくなかった！」と言っていたのが印象的だった。　二人づつペアで、次々と皆んな空中遊泳。皆んな、最高だったと感激して戻ってきていた。　私の不安も、いつしか消え去っていました。
　ロープの長さが違うためか、我々夫婦は最終組に。ボートの後ろに二人横並びで座り、パラシュートに接続される。ボートがエンジンを吹かし、いざ、空中へ。　ロープか繰り出される。ロープが繰り出されている間は、海面近くを浮いている。ロープの繰り出しが終わるとスーッと上昇。恐怖感は全くなし。上空からの眺めはもう最高！　ワイキキビーチ沿いのホテル群はもちろん、ダイヤモンドヘッドや遠くの山々までもが眼下に広がっている感じ。ボートが白波をあげて走っている。風は心地よく、静寂な（実際にはボートの音が聞こえてますが）ひととき。ズ〜っとこのままでいたい。妻は、パラシュートの色がカラフルだと喜んでいる（ナンノコッチャ）。　しばらくすると体に軽い衝撃が。どうやらロープが巻き取られ始めたらしい。だんだんボートが近づき、お決まりの海ポチャ。ボートから女の子達の歓声が湧く。再び、少し上昇。ロープが巻き取られ、二人は、ボートの後ろに着地。パラシュートを外してもらい、ボートの中へ。女の子達とハイタッチ。不安がっていた自分がバカバカしくなった。
　ボートは、船着場に戻り、ツアー終了（このあと、ホテルまで送ってもらえます。）帰り際、妻が「だから、絶対にやると言ったでしょ！」と自慢げに言ったのが少々癪に触ったが、これなら何度やってもいい。本当に病みつきになる。
　あ、そうそう、ボートにゴムバンドで、＄20札が数枚挟んである箇所があった。Tipらしい。我々も、$20札挟んでおきました。　また、船着場の小屋で、スタッフが、ボート上で撮影された写真をPCで見せてくれます。気に入れば、写真の入ったSDカードをお買い上げ、$30デス。

The driver for the shuttle and the captain of the boat were both very funny and kind. The 120-meter aerial flight was truly pleasant and went by in a flash. (That said, I think we were flying for a decent amount of time.) The boat rocked more than I expected, and although I usually don’t get motion sickness, I ended up feeling quite groggy by the end, so I think it’s safer to bring motion sickness medication.

Basically, you shouldn’t get wet, but many people wore swimsuits and had hoodies or t-shirts on top while paragliding. They were selling an SD card with the flying data for $30, but since you can also take pictures with other groups, I think it would have been better to have two cards—one for aerial shots and one for ground shots.

送迎の運転手さんも船のキャプテンもとても面白く親切でした。
120Mの空中飛行は本当に気持ちよくて、あっというまでした。（とはいえそこそこの時間飛んでいたと思います）
船が想像以上に揺れて普段乗り物酔いしないのですが最後はけっこうグロッキーになってしまったので酔い止めは持っていたほうが安全だと思います。
基本的に濡れないと思いますが、水着を着用して、上からパーカーやTシャツを着てそのままパラセイリングしている人が多かったです。
写真は＄30で飛んでいるデータが入ったSDカードを販売もしていましたが、ほかのグループの人たちと撮りあいっこもできるので、空中からと地上からお願い用と2つ持っていけばよかったと思いました。
