All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

Great experience! We also used the shuttle service and we’re able to look and enjoy the scenic drive while the driver told us about the areas we passed.

So good, I want to return to try out other experiences! Everything was great. I'm not normally a picture taker, but I took dozens this day. Lunch was awesome too.

Four years ago, it was canceled due to a hurricane. I thought the prices were high for optional tours in Hawaii due to inflation and the weak yen, but I decided to give it another try for the memories. At first, I was a bit scared, but I quickly got used to it and enjoyed the view of the high-rise hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea.

前回（４年前）はハリケーンでなくなく中止。久しぶりのハワイは物価高と円安でオプショナルツアーも高いなあと思っていましたが、想い出に再トライしました。
最初は少し怖かったけど、すぐに慣れて、海からみるワイキキの高層ホテルとダイヤモンドヘッドを楽しみました。

The meeting place was near the Hilton Lagoon, which was easy to find.
The other guests were four Americans.
After about 15 minutes on the jet boat, we took turns putting on parachutes.
I was asked if I wanted photos, but I declined; however, those who wanted them could purchase an SD card for $40.
I chose the lower height of 120 meters, but it was still high enough. The view was excellent, and I could see the ocean far away, with Diamond Head visible nearby.
In the end, thanks to the pilot's charm, we were dropped into the sea up to our chests, so it's better to wear a swimsuit.
On the way back, we went fast, so it was quite bumpy. I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to it.
They asked for a $20 tip, but I didn't have cash, so we gave $20 for the two of us.

集合場所はヒルトンラグーンの近くで、分かりやすかったです。
私達以外のお客さんは、アメリカ人の方4名でした。
ジェットボートで15分ほど行ったところで、順番にパラシュートを装着します。
写真が欲しいか聞かれたので、断わりましたが、欲しい人は$40でSDカードが購入できます。
120mの低い方の高さを選択しましたが、十分に高かったです。見晴らしはとても良く、海は遠くまで見渡せ、ダイヤモンドヘッドも近くに見えました。
最後は、操縦士さんの愛嬌で、胸まで海にポチャンと落とされます。なので、水着を着用した方が良いです。
帰りは飛ばすので、かなり揺れます。酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲むことをオススメします。
チップ$20とお願いされましたが、私は現金がなかったので、2人で$20渡しました。

The Hilton Grand Waikikian is conveniently located just a three-minute walk from the meeting point, and this was my first time booking.

I was told that Japanese was not spoken, but the staff at the reception did their best to communicate in Japanese.

Additionally, the staff on the boat helped ease the tension before the flight by creating a lively atmosphere.

I chose the 1,000 feet option, and it felt like we flew longer than expected. It was exhilarating, and my son, who has a fear of heights, was thrilled.

I definitely want to fly again next time!

ヒルトングランドワイキキアン泊で集合場所まで徒歩3分と利便性も良く初めて申し込みをしました。

日本語が通じないとの事でしたが、受付の方は一生懸命日本語で対応してくれました。

また船上のスタッフの方々は、飛ぶ前の緊張感を少しでも和らげる為に盛り上げて下さいました。

1000フィートを選択しましたが、思いの外長く飛ばしてくれてた様に感じました。
兎に角、爽快でしたし、高所恐怖症の息子も大喜びでした。

また、次回も飛んでみたいと思います！

I was able to see small, beautiful fish and sea turtles! We signed up during a time when there was no Japanese guide. There were many foreigners around, and while I was somewhat overwhelmed by the different energy and vibe, I still had a great time. If you want to hear explanations in Japanese, I recommend choosing a time with a Japanese guide.

小さく綺麗な魚や、ウミガメを見る事が出来ました！
私達は日本語ガイドでは無い時間に申し込みをしました。
周りは外国人が多く、テンションやノリの違いに多少は圧倒されつつも、楽しめました。
しっかりと日本語で解説などを聞きたい方は、日本語ガイドの時間帯をお勧めいたします。

In Miyako Island, we had to give up on parasailing due to bad weather, but in Hawaii, we were able to do it in perfect conditions. I was the second to fly, and I was nervous seeing how high the first person went, but before I knew it, it was our turn, and we quickly ascended into the sky. It was more stable and quiet than I expected, and the view included Waikiki and Diamond Head. I felt like I was monopolizing this amazing scenery without any fear; it was the best feeling. The crew's handling of the parachute was perfect, and whether it was splashing down into the sea with just our lower bodies or landing smoothly, every group managed it effortlessly. I'm really glad we did it.

宮古島では、天候不良の為、断念したパラセイリング今回ハワイでは、絶好のコンディションで出来ました。
二番目に飛びましたが、最初の人の高さにビビってドキドキしてましたが、すぐに自分達の番になり、あっど言う間に上空へ、思ったより安定して静かに昇って行って見渡す先はワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッド、怖さも無くこの景色を独占している感じ、最高の気分でした。
クルーのパラシュートさばきも完璧で、着船前の海に下半身だけチャブンも、スムーズな着船も、どのグループも自由自在にこなしてました。
ホントやって良かった。

Our tour guide, Susumu, kept the atmosphere light with jokes throughout, making it a fun experience. His attention to detail was excellent, and I felt comfortable the entire time. In addition to Manoa Falls, we also enjoyed the stunning views from Tantalus Lookout, which seemed a bit hard to access. The lunch was also very delicious. I would love to join Susumu's tour again next time.

ツアーガイドのススムさんが終始ジョークで場を和ませてくださり、楽しく過ごす事が出来ました。
要所要所での気配りも素晴らしく、始終、心地よく過ごす事が出来ました。
マノアの滝に加え、アクセスの悪そうなタンタラスの丘の素晴らしい景色も楽しめました。
お昼ご飯もとても美味しかったです。
今度もススムさんのツアーに参加したいです。

I think horseback riding and buggies are great, but if you want to enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace, this tour is perfect. You can fully enjoy the movie filming locations, the agricultural and fishery conditions, and the wonderful views of Kualoa. However, since it was an English-guided tour, I think it would have been even more enjoyable if I understood English better.

乗馬やバギーも良いと思うが、ゆっくり景色と楽しむなら、このツアー。映画ロケ地を堪能、農林水産の状況、クアロアの素晴らしい景色を存分に堪能できた。ただ、英語ガイドだったので、英語が分かればもっと楽しかったと思います。

What an amazing way to culturally connect with the indigenous peoples of Hawaii by sailing the beautiful waters like how our ancestors did. Amazing stories, singing, food and interactive activities and seeing the dolphins and honu (turtles) swimming alongside our wa’a (waka/ boat) was magical! We were well looked after and thoroughly enjoyed the friendly and relaxed hospitality. Definitely recommend this to people who are looking for an authentic, educational and fun experience of Hawaii. Mahalo!

The crew did a great job! We especially enjoyed sailing offshore from Waikiki Beach.

This was fantastic, more than we expected! Great food, drink, music, crew!
Never had so much fun! The entire trip was outstanding. The sunset was amazing! The sailing out of this world. Everyone was enjoying themselves immensly. We even saw a dolphin swimming along side us. Perfect night. I'd recommend this highly, 10+
Next time we are back in Oahu, we will definitely do this again!

Thanks again for an amazing, awesome time.

Great trip out. Very well organised. Very kind, polite, and professional team. Lots of turtles, delicious cocktail, great little commerative shaker.

The Manoa Falls hike and tour was an amazing adventure and wonderful experience for my whole family of 9.
The tour guys was very friendly and educated on the mountains and Tree's that are in the environment.

I was a little nervous about the hike since my youngest is 4 years old and never been hiking before. The Tour guides where very helping in giving us information on how the trail might be slippery or what to expect so that everyone could enjoy the hike.

After the hike we went for a small lunch picnic on one of the mountain tops. We had great food and got to explore and see great views of the Waikiki Valley and Ocean views. We also got to see the diamond head mountain area.

This is an amazing opportunity to get some great pictures and learn about the Manoa Valley waterfalls as a family activity with younger kids.
I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for something fun to do.

I went with my husband and 6 yrs old daughter. Our overall experience was good. The activity was awesome and the guy who was helping us on the boat was friendly.
Highly recommended!

I took my daughter and her fiancé on this adventure for an early Christmas gift. The boat was clean, the crew friendly and fun, and the whole experience felt very safe.
The take-off and landing were so smooth and easy. The views from 1000 feet up were breathtaking!
The crew took lots of pictures that you could purchase for $40–they downloaded the photos to my phone and also gave me the SD card. Definitely worth it! We will do this again!

Great tour!
They provide all the information you need before hand. The creew is friendly and swimming right next to the turtles is just amaizing. Such an increíble experience!

Parasailing in the dreamlike Waikiki was more thrilling than I expected! The staff was full of happy energy and high spirits, and even if your English is limited, it’s not much of a problem. They bring out various items and turn up the music to enhance the fun.

A sense of camaraderie developed with others on the same boat, and after the flight, we exchanged applause. It was incredibly hot with strong sunlight, but be careful as you have to take off your hat when flying. I kept mine on until the last moment. Still, it was an experience worth trying.

【About Luggage】
There’s no place to store valuables, so you have to shove your bags under the benches on the boat. I tackled it with a smartphone case that could hold tips and a credit card around my neck. Since my hotel was far away, I used a coin locker on the Hilton Lagoon side for my other valuables (it’s quite expensive though).

【Credit Card】
You need cash or a card to buy the photo data, but JCB is not accepted! Please be aware of this. (I even went all the way to the locker to get mine.)

憧れのワイキキでのパラセーリング。
思った以上に高くて楽しかったです！！スタッフはハッピーオーラ満開でハイテンション、英語が片言でもあまり問題はありません。いろんなアイテムを出したり、音楽のボリュームを上げて、楽しさを演出してくれます。

同じ船に乗った方ともなんとなーくの一体感が生まれ、フライトの後はお互い拍手を送り合ってみたり
とにかく暑くて日差しが強いけど、飛ぶ時は帽子は取らなければなりませんのでご注意を私は飛ぶギリギリまでかぶってました
それでもやってみる価値ありの体験でした。


【荷物について】
貴重品の預かり所はなく、荷物はボートのベンチの下に突っ込むしかありません。私はチップとクレジットカードが入るスマホケースを首からかけて挑みました。ホテルが遠かったのもあり、その他の貴重品はヒルトンのラグーン側にあるコインロッカーを使いました。(めちゃくちゃ高いけど)

【クレジットカード】
写真のデータを買うのに現金かカードが必要ですが、JCBが使えません！ご注意ください。(私はわざわざロッカーまで取りに行きました)

Sehr schöne Tour, Moana Team nett, kompetent, freundlich. Man sieht viele Schildkröten. Aber, der Spot vor Waikiki ist overcrowded, viele Auslugsboote kommen dorthin, mit ebenso vielen anderen Schnorchlern. Leider sind nicht alle rücksichtvoll und halten sich an die Regeln (dont touch the turtles, keep distance). Wenn das so weitergeht kann man drauf warten, dass der Spot zum Schutz der turtles geschlossen werden wird :-(

**[Paragliding Experience Flow]**
- Reserved for the 9:00 session.
- Since it was said to gather 15 minutes before the check-in time (8:30) when walking, I arrived at 8:15.
- After writing my name on the consent form, I was told I could return here by 8:40, so I took photos at the harbor, applied sunscreen, and waited while taking motion sickness medication.
- At 8:50, we boarded the boat and took 15 minutes to reach the point. During that time, we put on life jackets and were asked if we wanted to take photos for $40.
- Starting from 9:05, each group began paragliding. We flew for about 10 minutes. When I requested photos, they took quite a few before and during the flight (I counted over 100, and the quality was quite good).
- Paragliding while enjoying the beautiful sea, sky, islands, and Diamond Head was amazing. It was stable and not scary at all, and occasionally they made it a bit bumpy for fun, so the 10 minutes flew by. At the end, when we were picked up by the boat, I was submerged in the sea up to my chest.
- It seems that a certain speed of the boat is necessary to maintain the height of 150m, so it swayed normally. Since we had to wait on the boat during other participants' paragliding, I think it’s better for those prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication. Even though I rarely get seasick, I took some just in case, but towards the end, I felt a bit nauseous.
- Finished at 9:50. Those who didn’t request photos could leave directly. Those who did went to the check-in area, checked the photos taken, and paid $40. They transferred the data to my iPhone and also gave me an SD card.

**[Impressions]**
While on the boat, there was fun music playing the whole time, the scenery was beautiful, and the staff were kind and spoke a little Japanese, so just being on the boat was really enjoyable. It became a wonderful memory, and I’m glad I had the experience!

【パラセーリング体験の流れ】
・9:00の回で予約
・徒歩の場合、チェックイン時間（8:30）の15分前集合ということだったので、8:15に到着。
・同意書に名前記入したら、8:40までにここに戻ってこればいいよ、と言われてハーバーで写真撮ったり日焼け止め塗ったり、酔い止め飲んで待ち。
・8:50に船に乗り込み15分かけてポイントに到着。その間に、ライフジャケット着たり、写真撮影40ドルでやるかどうか聞かれる。
・9:05から１組ずつパラセーリング開始。だいたい10分くらい飛んでいたかな。写真撮影頼んだら、飛ぶ前から飛んでる最中、かなり撮ってくれた。（数えたら100枚以上あった、画質もかなりいい）
・綺麗な海、空、島、ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めながらパラセーリング。安定していて怖くないし、たまに楽しませるためにぐわんぐわんしてくれて、10分間あっという間だった。最後、船に回収される時、胸くらいまで海に浸かった。
・150mの高さを保つためにはある程度の船の速度も必要みたいで普通に揺れる。他の参加者のパラセーリング中ずっと船で待機なので船酔いする人は酔い止め飲んだ方がいいと思う。めったに酔わない私も念の為に飲んだけど、最後らへん少し気持ち悪くなった。
・9:50に終了。写真撮影頼んでない人はそのまま帰る。頼んだ人はチェックインしたところに行き、撮ってもらった写真ぱらぱらと確認し40ドル支払う。iPhoneを渡してデータ移行してくれてSDカードもくれる。
【感想】
船に乗ってる間、ずっと楽しい音楽流れてるし、景色も綺麗だし係の人たちも優しくて日本語少し喋れるから、本当に船乗っているだけでも楽しかった。とってもいい思い出になって体験できてよかった！

The two gentlemen running the operation that day were awesome! Super chill and laid back! The young blonde at the XTreme Watersports booth, where you check in, was super sweet! Checking in was easy! Wait time: minimal! Overall fun: 10 out of 10! Do yourself a favor and book your parasailing adventure with XTreme Watersports!!!!! Definitely would return again!!!!

Oh, and don’t forget to tip them!! They really are busting their butts all day to make your adventure memorable!!!!!

The crew on this ship were kind, funny & kept safety first. The area we were at had many turtles & nice for our family with all levels of experience. We only wished we had more time!

Ladder was the only struggle, but I made it! Once in the sub,arine the experience was so cool. Not somethng you can do every day!

Me and my husband who are a bit older felt like this was perfect for us to get to see the water as a diver would!

First, want to acknowledge our awesome tour guide. His name was Garfield. This guy was full of information and his instructions were spot on. I have so much to say about this day. To me it was a little overwhelming all that we saw in such a short time. Between the Bowfin submarine tour, it's museum, the USS Arizona Memorial was spectacular and awe inspiring. The aviation museum was my favorite since I am an aviation buff. All the planes in various states of repair and some that were riddled with bullet holes was incredible. The Battleship Missouri was quite a sight to see. I wish I returned to spend more time to explore. This day was full of sights and emotion. Worth the price of admission for sure. Thank you again Garfield.

It was my first time back in Hawaii in three years, and my first time participating in this cruise in three years as well. The weather was probably the best I've ever experienced. The ocean seemed to be clearer than before. Wearing masks is optional. If you're concerned, it might be a good idea to bring your own mask and snorkel. Prices have gone up compared to before, but the easy snorkeling off Waikiki and the enjoyable cruising experience are worth it.

３年ぶりのハワイ、３年ぶりのこのクルーズへの参加でした。今までで多分１番のお天気。海がキレイになったような気がします。マスク着用は自由です。気になる方はマイマスク、シュノーケル持参がいいかもしれません。以前と比べて値上がっていますが、ワイキキ沖でのお手軽シュノーケル、気持ちいいクルージングは価値ありです。

Great company, great guides and great weather! First time parasailing and will for sure be signing up again!

Friendly staff. First time surfing experience feels good my kids love it.

The sea was beautiful and very pleasant. The waves were rough, and I got seasick. If you're not good with boats, you might want to be careful.

海も綺麗で非常に気持ちよかったです。
波が荒くて船酔いしてしまいました。
船が苦手な方は気をつけた方がいいかもしれません。

This is my third time parasailing, with the first time in Hawaii and the second time in Guam. The parasailing in Hawaii was great, but the experience in Guam was very disappointing. Parasailing in Hawaii is definitely the best.

3回目のパラセイリングですが、1回目がハワイ島で2回目がグアムでした。
1回目のハワイ島でのパラセイリングが良くて、グアムで乗りましたが非常にショボくてがっかりしました。
やっぱりHawaiiでのパラセイリングは最高です。
