Waikiki
The driver for the pickup, the parasailing crew, and the staff were able to communicate even without speaking Japanese, and since three out of the four groups were Japanese, I had no worries at all.
I couldn't take pictures of myself while flying, so I asked the crew to take photos, and they captured some natural expressions, which became a wonderful memory. Instead of buying photos, I received an SD card with dozens of pictures for $30, so I felt it was worth it to request the shoot.
I chose a height of 120 meters this time. I was torn between 120 meters and 150 meters, and before the experience, I was scared, so I opted for 120 meters. However, it was not scary at all, and the moment I was rising into the sky was just the best. I felt like I could have gone even higher, so I think I would be totally fine with 150 meters. I was worried about the boat's rocking and took motion sickness medicine, but when the boat was moving fast, it was a bit scary, yet refreshing, so I didn't feel nauseous. The weather was cloudy and a bit chilly, but since the wind wasn't strong, it was calm while I was in the air.
Before going, I was unsure about the tip amount. I had planned to give 10% of the fee for two people, but since I didn't have small change, I ended up giving $20 for both of us.
Next time, I want to try 150 meters!
送迎のドライバーさん、パラセイリングのクルー、スタッフの方は、日本語が話せなくても、カタコトで伝わりましたし、今回は、4組中3組が日本人のメンバーだったせいか、全く不安がなかったです。
自分では、飛んでる姿を撮影できないのでクルーに撮影してもらい自然な表情が撮れていて、とても良い記念になりました。写真を買うのではなく、何十枚も撮影してくれたSDカードを頂けるので30ドル出しても撮影をお願いして良かったと思います。
高さは、今回120mにしました。150mと迷いましたが体験する前は怖くて120mにしましたが全く怖くなくてグングン空に上がっていく時が、もう最高でした。もっともっと上がれ~という感じだったので150mでも全然大丈夫だと思いました。船の揺れも心配して酔い止めを飲んで挑みましたが、船が高速で進む時がちょっと怖くて、でも爽快だったので、酔いもなかったです。天気は曇りで肌寒い日でしたが、風が強くなかったので空にいるときも穏やかでした。
行く前はチップの金額に悩みましたが、2名分の料金の10%をお渡ししようと思っていましたが、細かいお金がなかったため、2名で参加して合わせて20ドルお渡ししました。
今度は、150m挑戦してみたいです。
I was able to participate easily even though I couldn't exercise.
The staff's response was good, and I had a great time.
It was a bit inconvenient that there was no Japanese support, but it wasn't a problem.
運動ができなくても気軽にできました
スタッフの対応も良くて楽しかったです
日本語対応をしてなかったので少し不便でしたが、問題ありませんでした
I was able to take a lot of photos (you can purchase an SD card), and I made some great memories. I went with 120m, but I wondered if I could have done 150m as well.
たくさん写真を撮っていただき(SDを購入出来ます)いい思い出が出来ました。
120mにしたのですが、150mでもいけたかな?と思いました。
It goes higher than I expected.
And the view from the top was amazing!
Although you are identified by a sticker based on the height you signed up for, I didn't feel much difference in height.
I recommend it because you can enjoy Hawaii from the sky.
思ったよりも高くあがります。
そして、上から見た景色は素晴らしかったです!
一応、申し込んだ高さによってシールで識別されていますが、高さに差はあまり感じられませんでした。
ハワイを空から楽しめるので、お勧めです。
I participated in a group lesson. The instructor was very kind and taught us in a detailed manner, which was great.
グループレッスンに参加しました。インストラクターの方がとても親切で丁寧に教えてくれたので、よかったです。
Outstanding crew. My wife does great in calm water but with the choppy water she was apprehensive about snorkeling. The crew calmed her and threw bred crumbs into the water by her to get fish to come near her so she could enjoy the snorkeling close to the boat. Food was great.
I reserved a 130m flight. I was able to see the scenery, but the flying time was quite short. I didn't have any particular concerns.
130mを予約しました。景色もみれましたが、飛んでる時間がかなり短かった。
特に不安に思うことはなかった。
I saw that they were giving away a photo DVD (worth $25) as a nice keepsake, so my wife and I signed up for a semi-private lesson. After the lesson, we received a DVD that contained a total of 435 photos, but we only appeared in 27 of them. Moreover, 11 of those were of us paddling back to shore. Including blurry and poorly taken shots, there were only 16 decent photos of us standing. There were about 10 good photos in total. I will never use this school again.
☆レッスン中の写真DVD($25相当)をプレゼント!☆ と書いていたので良い記念になると思って、家内と2人でセミプライベートレッスンを申し込んだ。
レッスン後に受け取ったDVDには全部で435枚の写真が入っていたが、そのうちで自分たちが映っていたのはたったの27枚。
しかも、そのうちの11枚は岸に戻ってくるパドリング姿。
落ちかけやピンボケを含んで立っている姿は2人合わせてたったの16枚。
まともな写真は10枚程度。
2度とここのスクールを使うことは無い。
I used to think 90 meters was nothing, but the sea in Waikiki was incredibly refreshing and moving. Next time, I want to challenge myself to 120 meters.
90メートルなんて馬鹿にしていましたがワイキキの海は大変爽快で感動いたしました。今度は120メートルに挑戦したいと思います。
Since Hawaiian shows are not easy to come by, if you're staying at the Hilton, I think you won't regret going to this one located on the rooftop of the parking lot. There are more locals than Japanese people. You can fill your plate with buffet-style food from the good seats in order. It's better not to expect much in terms of taste. However, the content of the show is worth it. The final fire dance, in particular, is impressive.
なかなかハワイアンショーは見れないので、ヒルトンに泊まってるなら、駐車場の屋上にあるこちらに行っても損はしないと思います。
日本人より本国の方が多め。
良い席から順にブュッフェスタイルの料理をプレートに入れて行きます。味は期待しない方が良い。
ただ、ショーの内容は価値あり。特に最後のファイヤーダンスは迫力ありますよ。
The staff was cheerful, and it was a very enjoyable experience. I was a bit worried because the explanations were in English, but I managed to get through it. The swaying was quite severe, so my child got motion sickness.
陽気なスタッフでとても楽しい経験でした。説明が英語だったので少し不安でしたが、何とか過ごせました。揺れがひどかったので子供が酔ってしまいました。
I was generally good with transportation, but I ended up getting seasick while waiting on the boat. I think motion sickness medication is necessary. The view was beautiful, with a higher altitude than when I experienced it in Bali, and I could see all of Waikiki Beach. ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
乗り物には強い方でしたが船で待機している時間に船酔いをしてしまいました。酔い止めは必要だと思います。以前バリで体験した時より高度が高くワイキキビーチを一望でき綺麗でした╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
Everyone was really nice, and I had a great time!! The water was shallow enough to stand, which was reassuring. The waves kept coming, and they were gentle, making it easy for beginners to ride, which was great!! The instructor was friendly and made it fun ( ¨̮ )
However, after the session, there was no explanation about when we could go back or if there would be a bus to take us. When I asked, I was told the bus wouldn't come for 40 minutes, so I ended up walking back. That was a bit disappointing...
とてもみんないい人ばかりで楽しかったです!!
深さも足がつくくらいだったので安心でした。
波も次々に来てたくさん出来たし緩い波だったので初心者には乗りやすくて良かったです!!
インストラクターの方もフレンドリーで楽しかったです( ¨̮ )
ただ終わってからがいつ帰っていいとかバスで送迎してくれるとかの説明が無く、聞いたらバスが40分来ないと言われ結局歩いて帰りました。
そこだけが少し残念でした、、、
I participated with my husband on April 26, just before Golden Week, during the Japanese guide's time. Based on the comments from other participants, I properly took anti-seasickness medication... The boat ride to the submersible was quite rocky. There were also some splashes of water... But I forgot all that in the underwater world. Fortunately, we encountered sea turtles three times. The artificial coral reef was home to many different types of fish, and the American (?) Japanese guide was enjoyable as well.
ゴールデンウィーク前の4月26日に日本語ガイドの時間に主人と参加しました。他の参加者のコメントを参考にきちんと酔止めを服用……潜水艇へ行く迄の船で結構揺れました。水しぶきも少々……そんなことも忘れてしまうくらいの海底の世界。ラッキーなことに海がめに3回出会いました。人工のサンゴ礁には沢山の種類のお魚達に、アメリカ人(?)の日本語ガイドも楽しかったです。
My first parasailing experience.
It was arranged locally, and everything went very smoothly. The weather was perfect, and I had a great time. Even the argument I had with my spouse the night before was forgotten.
On the way back, we were even sent off by a pod of dolphins... I highly recommend it!
初めてのパラセーリング。
現地手配でしたが非常にスムーズでした。天気も最高で楽しめました。前夜の夫婦喧嘩も吹っ飛んでしまいました。
帰りはイルカの群れのお見送りまで‥‥おすすめです!
I was wondering if I would get drunk, but I didn't feel drunk at all. The view was amazing, and it felt great!
The staff was very kind, and at the end, I even received a juice!
I'm glad I did this!
酔ったりするかな?と思ったけど
全く酔うこともなく
眺めもすごく良くて
気持ちよかったです!
スタッフもとても親切で
最後にジュースまで
いただきました!
やってよかったです!
The earphones came with a Japanese guide, so I had no trouble at all!
The staff were very kind, pointing things out to me, and the boat went around to the other side so I could see everything again, so I didn't miss anything!
イヤホンは
日本語ガイドがついていたので
何も困ることはありませんでした!
スタッフの人も
とても親切でポイントを
教えてくれたり、
船も反対側に回ってくれてもう一度見れるので
見逃すことはありませんでした!
I was thrilled to see sea turtles up close! The cruise had cheerful music and lasted nearly an hour! I was very satisfied! However, there was no shade, so I would definitely recommend providing something like umbrellas for those who are concerned about sunburn.
ウミガメをめっちゃ近くで見れて興奮しました!クルーズも陽気な音楽がかかっていて1時間近くありました!とても満足です!ただ影がないので日焼けが気になる人の為に是非パラソルの様な日陰を作って欲しいです。
It was my first experience, and it was scarier than I had imagined. I was screaming while flying (laughs). However, the view was amazing, and I had a lot of fun!
初めての経験で想像していたよりも怖くて、飛んでいる間は叫んでました(笑)
でも、眺めも最高でとても楽しかったです!
I had a reservation for 8 AM on April 30th (Sunday). However, when I woke up, it was cold and raining, and I wondered if it would be okay. I got ready anyway, and just as I was about to leave, the phone in my room rang. They informed me that due to the rain, it was canceled. I managed to catch that I could reschedule for the afternoon or another time, and in the end, I moved it to the next day (May 1st) at 12:00 PM. Since it was rainy and cold all day, I think it would have been canceled even if I had changed the time.
Rescheduling for the next day was definitely the right choice! The weather cleared up, and the sky was bright blue. It was perfect for parasailing. There were no other Japanese people in the group; instead, there were Chinese, Australians, Spanish speakers, and people from Colorado, so we didn’t take pictures of each other. I put my smartphone in a waterproof case with a strap and off we went into the sky! It was beautiful and breathtaking. I did take some photos with my smartphone, but the weather was so nice that I couldn’t see the screen well and had to rely on instinct to take the shots.
When we came down, we splashed into the sea, but it was just a little bit on my backside. However, others seemed to be getting soaked up to their chests, and it looked like they were having fun with it.
The staff took some great photos for us, which I purchased for $30. Unfortunately, I lost the SD card with the photos in the sea afterward (crying).
The boat was very bumpy, so motion sickness medication is a must. Also, try to enjoy the distant views and laugh! I think that helps with not getting seasick. A Chinese girl looked like she was feeling unwell.
I debated between 120 meters and 150 meters, but 120 meters was more than enough.
For reference, I gave a $20 tip for two people when we got off.
4/30(日)の朝8時に予約していました。でも起きると寒くて雨降ってるし大丈夫かな?と思いながらとりあえず準備。準備も整えてさあ行こう!と思ったところで部屋の電話が鳴りました。
今朝は雨で中止とのこと。午後とか違う時間にリスケジュールしてくださいっていうのは何とか聞き取れて、結局次の日(5/1月)の12:00にしてもらいました。
一日中雨で寒かったので、多分時間をずらしても中止になっていたと思います。
次の日にして大正解!!天気は回復して真っ青な空。
パラセイリング日和でした。
乗り合わせたのは日本人は他にはいなくて中国人やオーストラリア人やスペイン語圏の人とコロラドから来た人たちだったので、写真を撮りあうことはしませんでした。
自分のスマホをストラップ付きの防水ケースに入れていざ上空へ!!
とてもきれいで感動でした。
スマホで写真を撮るには撮りましたが、天気が良すぎて液晶が見えずに勘で撮るしかなかったです。
降りてくるときには海にチャポンってしてくれましたがおしりがちょっとつく程度でした。
でも他の人は胸まで浸からせたり、お客さんを見ていろいろやってるみたいです。
スタッフの人が撮ってくれた写真はとても良く撮れてました。30ドルで購入です。
しかし、せっかく購入した写真のSDカード、そのあと海でなくしてしまいました(泣)
ボートはとても揺れるので酔い止めは必須です。
そしてなるべく遠くの眺めに感動しながら笑ってましょう!その方が酔わないと思います。
中国人の女の子は気持ち悪そうにしてました。
120mと150mと迷いましたが、120mで充分でした。
参考までに、チップは二人参加で降りるときに20ドル渡しました。
It was a three-person ride based on the guide's judgment. The view of the city and Diamond Head from above, as well as the ocean, was very pleasant. My parents, who are over 60, also enjoyed the 120 meters. ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و
ガイドさんの判断んで3人乗りでした。
上空からの街やダイヤモンドヘッドの景色、海もとっても気持ちよかったです。60歳超えの両親も120mを楽しんでいました٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و
The submarine was good, but there were places where the headphones were available and places where they weren't, so I couldn't hear the Japanese translation. The season might have been bad as well, but there were far fewer fish than I imagined. The windows were dirtier than I expected, and even when I took photos, they lacked clarity.
潜水艦は良かったのでが
ヘッドホンは あるとこと ないところがあり
日本語訳が聞けませんでした
季節も悪かったかもしれませんが
魚が想像してよりも ずっと少なかったです
窓が思ってより汚く 写真を撮っても 鮮明感が
ありませんでした
My two 11-year-old daughters had their first experience. Both of them enjoyed it without being scared, saying it was fun and beautiful! It was a very good experience. However, I did get seasick. Also, I didn't have the $30 for the photo fee, so I couldn't request any, which was disappointing. Fortunately, I did have enough for the tip, so that was good.
11歳の娘二人が、初体験しました。
二人とも、怖がることなく、楽しい!キレイ!
と、とても良い経験できました。
ただ、船は酔いました。
あと、写真代の30ドルを持ってなかったので、
頼めなくて、残念。かろうじて、チップ代は
あったので、良かった。
We started early in the morning. The driver for our pickup couldn't speak any Japanese, but he did his best to communicate with gestures. The weather wasn't great for parasailing, as it was cloudy. However, once we took off, it felt amazing!!! It was the best! The other passengers were also having a great time.
110 meters is quite high, but I was able to enjoy the view and the height without feeling scared! The boat does rock quite a bit. If there are many participants, the wait time can be long, so if you're not good on boats, definitely take motion sickness medication. If you do get sick, just let them know, and they'll guide you to a spot with wind and give you a bucket, haha.
The photographer, who also seemed to be in charge of preparations, took photos for $30 per SD card. The quality was okay. Since we couldn't take pictures ourselves and the other passengers were feeling seasick, we decided to buy it. They did capture some nice smiling photos and a few scenic shots, so I felt it was worth it.
It's a good idea to give a tip of around $10. At the end, they ask everyone for tips, so you can give it at that moment. Haha.
早朝のスタートにしました。
送迎のドライバーさんは日本語全くできませんでしたがジェスチャーで頑張って伝えてくれます。
パラセイリングは天候に恵まれず曇り。しかし飛び立つと最高に気持ちがいい!!!!!
最高です!一緒に同乗した方々もとても楽しんでおられました。
110メートルはかなり高いですが恐怖感なく景色を見たり高さを楽しめました!
船はかなり揺れます。参加人数が多いと待ち時間も長くなるので船が苦手な方は必ず酔い止めが必要です。酔ったら自己申告すると風の当たるところに誘導されバケツを渡されますよwww
写真はカメラマンさん兼準備担当みたいなお兄さんがSDカード1枚30ドルで撮影してくれますが内容はまあまです。でもスマホ等では自分たちは撮影できないし同乗の方々が船酔いしていたので購入しましたがNICEな笑顔の写真や風景も少し撮ってくれるので私は買ってよかったなと思います。
チップは10ドル程度渡しましょう。最後にみなさんチップ下さい~と言われますのでそのタイミングで渡せば良いです。ww
It was exciting walking through a rain forest and also a good cardio workout. Our group had walking sticks so it was beneficial where it was a bit rocky or wet. Just take your time going up or back down and enjoy the scenery.
We were a couple with a big group of family so we took up half of the catamaran anyways - it was a great experience, thorough and the guys were really caring for this of us who didn't feel well! Definitely recommend!!
The only participant in the tour was Japanese, and since everything from the explanation to the end was in English, they tried very hard to explain things, but I couldn't fully understand until the end.
ツアー参加者で日本人が我家のみで、説明から終了までが全て英語だった為に
一生懸命説明などをしてくれていたのですが、最後まで良く理解出来ずに終了してしまいました。
In the end, I only caught two fish (>_<)
Two other family members participated, but they didn't catch anything (//∇//)
The captain was cheerful and kept the mood lively, which was fun, but...
When you can't catch anything...
The current was strong, and there were many snags, and since we were targeting flatfish, it was a tough fishing experience.
The only saving grace was the beautiful sunset during our evening departure...
結局自分は2匹しか釣れなかった(>_<)
他に家族2名参加したけど その2名は ボーズ(//∇//)
船長は陽気に盛り上げてくれて 面白かったけど
釣れない事には・・・・・
流れもきつく 根がかりも多く カワハギ狙いなんで厳しい釣りでした
唯一 夕方の出港で サンセットが綺麗だったのが救いでした・・・
Initially, I wasn't sure if the reservation would proceed due to bad weather, and I ended up waiting for over 30 minutes at the meeting point... After contacting the hotel, I found out it was canceled. I was able to rebook for the next day, and I was satisfied with the beautiful scenery and view as expected. It was a pity that there was no sunset.
はじめに予約した日が天候が悪く実施されるのかわからず、待ち合わせの時間から30分以上待ちぼうけ・・・ホテルから連絡してもらい、中止ということが分かった。
翌日に再予約してもらい、期待どうりの景色の良さ・眺めに満足です。海におちるのがなかったのが残念だった。
There were no staff who understood Japanese, and I didn't know what to do with the sticker I received... Next time, I want to use a place where there are Japanese-speaking staff. Even though I took motion sickness medication, the waiting time while others were flying was long, and I ended up getting sick and throwing up in the sea, which made the rest of my day terrible.
日本語がわかるスタッフがおられず、もらったシールをどうしていいかもわからず…
次に行くときは日本語スタッフがいるところを利用したいです
酔い止めを飲んでいても他の方が飛んでいる間の待ち時間が長く、酔って海に吐いて、その後の1日が最悪でした
