All Reviews for For 8 Year Olds

I signed up for the highest jump at 150 meters among all the groups that flew together. Strangely, I felt no fear at all, and it was definitely the right choice to go for 150 meters. The view of Waikiki, the ocean of Hawaii, and the horizon from above the sea was all breathtaking. I also asked for photos, and when I said in Katakana English, "Please take a lot of pictures!! ♪", they ended up taking 118 shots for me. Since they provided the data on a 4GB memory card, I thought $30 was quite a bargain, and I really felt it was worth it because they used a proper DSLR with a telephoto lens. For some reason, our group was also given the special service of dipping a little into the water, which made me feel like I got a great deal (laughs).

一緒の時間に飛んだ全グループの中で一番高い１５０ｍで申し込みました。不思議なことに怖さは全く感じず、１５０ｍで大正解でした。海の上空から見るワイキキ、ハワイの海、水平線、すべてが感動的でした。写真もお願いしまして、カタカナ英語で「たくさん撮ってください！！♪」と言ってみたら、118枚も撮って下さっていました。４ＧＢのメモリーカードにデータを入れて頂けるので、それで３０ドルは安かったなと思いますし、きちんとした一眼の望遠レンズで撮って下さったので頼んでよかったと本当に思います。なぜかうちのグループだけ水面にちょこっと落としてくださるサービスをしていただき、大変得した気分でした(笑)

We participated as a couple. Since we had taken a different surfing lesson the day before, we were a bit tired and left a little early with more than enough time. We also received T-shirts, which made for a nice memento.

前日、違うサーフィンレッスンに参加したので疲れが残っていたのと十分すぎるくらいの時間で少し早めに上がらせてもらいました。
Tシャツも頂けて、良い記念になりました。

We participated as a couple. It was my wife's first time surfing, but since it was a private lesson, she felt at ease. The conversation in English was slow, and they paid attention to our reactions, so it wasn't a problem for us, even though we couldn't speak much. With their excellent support, we were able to stand up from the very beginning, and we were very satisfied with the different views and sensations of the ocean.

妻は始めてのサーフィンでしたがプライベートレッスンだったので安心して臨めました。
英語での会話もゆっくり、こちらの反応を見て下さるのでほとんど喋れない私たちでも問題なかったです。
絶妙なフォローで最初から立つことも出来て、今までと違った海の景色と感覚に大満足でした。

Participated with my husband and two boys (9 & 10). My children and I were nervous at first. But the two guides were awesome and very friendly. They explained the rules and prepared us for our tandem rides. Once we were up in the air the nerves went away.The view was so breathtaking. One of the guides also took some amazing photos of the whole experience (for purchase). I will definitely use Hawaiian Parasail again.

It was amazing. I was able to see the streets of Waikiki and the beautiful ocean from above. The height didn't feel as high as I expected, but it felt like I was a bird. I want to do it again. I also got to take a lot of pictures.

最高です。空の上からワイキキの街並みとキレイな海を眺めることができました。高さは思ったよりはあまり高く感じませんでしたが、鳥になった気分です。またやりたいです。写真もたくさんとってもらいました。

Even though I can't speak English, I received polite lessons! The instructor and the person who came to pick me up were both foreigners, but everyone was kind, and I had a great time surfing♪ I participated alone, but I highly recommend it!

英語がしゃべれない私でも丁寧にLessonをして頂きました！
インストラクターの人も、お迎えに来て頂いた方も外国人ですが
みなさん優しい方でサーフィンも楽しくできました♪
ひとりで参加しましたが、おすすめです！

The pickup was on time, and we were brought by trolley. We were the only Japanese among those who boarded the boat, and the others were native speakers, so it was quite challenging to keep up with the English. However, the staff managed to convey the important points in broken Japanese, which helped a lot. I took motion sickness medication, but I still got quite seasick, and the second half was tough because I felt nauseous. The parasailing itself was very enjoyable.

お迎えは時間通り、トロリーで来てくれました。一緒にボートに乗った中で日本人は私たちだけで、他の方はネイティブだったので英語についていくのはかなり大変でしたが、大事なとこだけはスタッフが片言の日本語で言ってくれたのでなんとかなりました。酔い止めをのんで行ったけど、それでもかなり船酔いして、後半は気持ち悪くて大変でした。パラセイリング自体はとても楽しかったです。

This was an awesome trip! My daughter and I were a little nervous but it was totally safe and the crew were great! Very friendly and very funny! We would definitely go on this trip with this company again!

You absolutely should do it! Highly recommended!! You should definitely buy the photos taken!! It was so much fun that my husband ended up giving them $10 without thinking about it, haha. We had a wonderful experience☆

絶対やった方が良いです!おすすめ!!
撮っていただいた写真も買うべきです!!
本当に楽しすぎて、
旦那さんは思わず１０ドルも
渡してしまったほどですww
素敵な体験が出来ました☆

This was the best para-sailing experience we have, we already para-sailed before in Cabo but it was not as good as the Hawaiian Para-sail. I would recommend this to anyone para sailing for the first time or experienced people. The tour guides were amazing as well.

We signed up for a fun activity for our family of four on the afternoon we arrived in Hawaii. I was worried we might be too tired, but it turned out to be such an enjoyable tour that those feelings disappeared. We were the only Japanese participants, but every time someone took off, both the staff and the others around us got excited. The staff were lively and skillfully entertained us while driving, making it a tour filled with laughter. Seeing Hawaii from above is amazing! While waiting for the boat, there aren't many covered areas, so I recommend bringing a hat and drinks.

今回は家族４人でアクティブに遊ぶという目的で、ハワイに着いた日の午後に申し込みました。疲れて大丈夫かな。と思っていましたが、そんな気持ちも吹き飛んじゃうほど楽しいツアーでした。日本人は私達だけでしたが、誰かが飛ぶたびに、スタッフの方も周りの方も盛り上がり、スタッフの方はきびきびしながらも、巧みに運転しながら楽しませてくれるので、笑いっぱなしのツアーでした。ハワイを空の上から見るのは最高です！船が来るのを待っているときは屋根のあるところが少ないので、帽子や飲み物など持って行くといいと思います。

We had a great time parasailing over the beautiful blue waters!!! The crew was amazing, very friendly and funny which made the experience even more fun!!! This is a must if you are visiting Oahu... The sights are magnificent!

I boarded a mixed bus from the Heideman office at the Waikiki Grand Hotel and headed to the beach. Everyone except me was part of a group, so I felt a bit lonely, but once I got into the water, it didn't matter about the group. I paddled on my own to reach the instructor, and when the waves came, they helped me. The instructor mentioned that if you're not used to paddling, it's difficult to ride the waves on your own.

The approximately two-hour lesson flew by, and depending on your stamina, you can ride the waves quite a bit! Since it's a less crowded beach (with a reef below), you can enjoy it without worry, and I highly recommend it.

All the explanations were in English.

ワイキキグランドホテルにあるヒーデマンのオフィスから混合バスに乗り込み、ビーチへ。私以外は皆グループで参加していたので少し心細かったですが、海に入ってしまえば、グループも何もありません。自力でパドルして、インストラクターの元に行き、波が来たら押してもらいます。インストラクターが普段からパドル慣れしていないと、自力で波に乗るのは難しいと言っていました。
約2時間のレッスンはあっという間でした体力次第でバンバン波に乗れますよー
人気の少ないビーチ（下がリーフ）なので、心おきなく出来ますし、オススメです

説明は全部英語でしたー

great expierence....we spent a great time with beautifull people!!!

I was wondering what it would be like at 130 meters above ground, but the bright blue sky and ocean, the towering Diamond Head in the distance, and the cityscape of Honolulu, along with the round horizon, created a view that was even more amazing than I imagined!! I had a blast on the boat, especially with some playful performances that involved getting splashed with seawater ^_−☆

上空130mなんてどうなることかと思ってたけど、真っ青の空と海、遠くにそびえるダイヤモンドヘッドとホノルルの街並み、そして丸い地平線と想像以上に素晴らしい景色で最高でした！！海水にわざとつけられたり、ちょっといたずらなパフォーマンスで船上でもめっちゃ楽しめました^_−☆

Friendly aloha spirit all around. If you're in Hawaii, then try surfing!! These guys are the best around by far. They take you away from the crowded side of Waikiki and truly give you a great lesson.

The weather was really nice, and overall it was amazing. The scenery and the color of the sea were truly beautiful, and I wanted to fly again. It felt natural and wasn't scary at all, both during takeoff and landing. The crew was friendly and had a great vibe, making it a lot of fun!!

天気がとても良く、とにかく最高でした。景色も海の色も本当にきれいで、また飛びたいと思いました。飛ぶ時も降りるときも自然で怖くありませんでした。船の方も親切でノリもよく、楽しかったです！！

It was my second parasailing experience, and it was just as great as before!!! However, last time they burned the photos onto a CD and sold them, but this time it was a rental format where I had to copy the data myself, which was disappointing... But I took a ton of pictures with my own digital camera!!! The view from the sky was amazing!!

2回目のパラセイリング体験でしたが、やはりとてもよかった！！！
ただ、前回は撮ってくれた写真のデータをCDに焼いて売ってくれましたが
今回は、データをレンタルで自分でコピーして下さい形式で残念でした。。。
でも自分のデジカメで撮りまくったので！！！
空中からの眺め、最高でした！！

I had always wanted to try it at least once, and I finally made it happen in Hawaii. Unlike Japan, the power of the waves was different, and surprisingly, I was able to stand up on the board right away. I had to paddle in time with the waves, but after two or three times, my arms became too tired, and each time, the coach pushed me from behind, allowing me to stand up multiple times, which was amazing.

Lastly, when I was being taken back, the hotel was WHITE SANDS HOTEL, but we took a long detour through Ala Wai and passed by Hilton, and I was dropped off on Kuhio Street, which wasted a lot of time. I thought they would drop me off first.

If it weren't for that, I would have given it a perfect score.

一度はやってみたいと思っていましたが、やっとハワイで実現できました。日本と違って波の力が、違うの為？可なんと、一発で立つことができました。波にあわせてこがなけばいけないのですが、2、3回もすると腕が上がらなくなり、その度にコーチが後ろから押してくれ何回も立てることができ最高でした。
最後に、帰りに送ってもらう時にホテルは、WHITE SANDS HOTELでしたが、アラワイを、通りヒルトン等を通り、クヒオ通りで降ろされメチャクチャ遠回りになり、時間が無駄になりました。最初に下ろしてくれるかなと思ったのですが。
これさえなければ、満点をあげるところでした。

The staff were all very friendly, and they entertained us by speaking in Japanese and our broken English, even though we couldn't speak English well☆

They took a lot of photos for us, and the view from the high spots was amazing‼ The way they maneuvered so that our bodies didn't touch the sea and only our feet were in the water was truly impressive‼ If we ever go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to join this tour again꒰*´艸｀*꒱

お店の方全員がとても感じが良く、英語の話せない私たちを日本語や私たちの片言英語でも話してくれ楽しませてくれました☆

写真も沢山撮ってくださり、高い所も景色も良く最高でした‼
体が海につかないように足だけつけてくれる操縦は本当に感動しました‼
また是非ハワイにいく事があったらこのツアーには参加したいです꒰*´艸｀*꒱

I took group surfing lesson. The instructor was very helpful and kind. He put me in as many waves and I had a great time! I'd like to try to take the lesson again!!!

I participated with my mother and two daughters (11 and 16 years old). I was anxious because I didn't understand the language, but they taught us well with gestures. My mother could only stand for about three seconds, but my daughters were able to ride the waves well. I highly recommend it!

母と娘２人(11歳16歳)と参加しました。言葉も分からず不安でしたが身振り手振りでしっかりおしえてくれました。母は３秒くらいしか立てませんでしたが娘達はしっかり波に乗れてました。おすすめです！

WE HAD A GREAT TIME IT WAS OUR FIRST TIME PARASAILING AND WERE NOT SURE IF WE WOULS LIKE IT OR NOT, BUT THE BOAT CREW & CAPT DAVIE WERE GREAT AND MADE US FEEL AT EASE. ALL 3 OF US LOVED IT!!

We participated as a family of three. The activity itself was very enjoyable, and thanks to the captain's playful spirit, we even got to experience a splash in the sea.

I think those who are fluent in English can enjoy it wholeheartedly without any worries.

However, there were no staff at the counter or on board who could speak Japanese well, and the briefing was really just reading a paper in Japanese with only a few words. Since we had children with us, I felt a bit anxious considering the worst-case scenario.

The website mentioned that we would be picked up by a trolley with the tour company's logo, so I was watching for the trolley, but what arrived was a Mercedes van. Moreover, it was more than five minutes late, and I started to think about arranging a taxi. I think it would have been better if they had explained that it could be either a trolley or a vehicle like this; I was lucky I didn't miss it.

The return vehicle seemed to have been overlooked in the arrangement and took a while to arrive. When I asked the counter when the return vehicle would come, they said it would be here soon, but what came was a taxi. They mentioned that I would have to cover the cost myself, and a foreign couple who were with us talked to the counter and arranged for the same van we took to get back safely. If it had just been us, it might have turned into a rather unpleasant event.

As I mentioned earlier, parasailing itself was very exciting and fun, so if there’s a next time, I think I would look for a tour company that can communicate in Japanese. I believe there are many Japanese participants who could book through a Japanese website, so I would have appreciated a bit more consideration for Japanese speakers, such as having staff who can speak Japanese.

家族３人で参加しました。
アクティビティそのものはとても楽しく、キャプテンの遊び心もあって海ポチャも経験できました。

英語が堪能な方なら不安なく心から楽しめると思います。


カウンターにも乗船スタッフにも日本語が充分に話せる人がおらず、本当に単語のみの日本語と、日本語で書かれた用紙を読むだけのブリーフィングでした。
子ども連れでしたので万が一のことを考えると少々不安でした。

サイトでの説明には催行会社名ロゴの入ったトロリーで送迎と書いてあったのでトロリーを目で追っていましたが、来たのはベンツのバン。
しかも５分以上遅れ、タクシー手配しようかと考え始めた頃でした。
トロリーもしくはこういう車と説明があったらよかったと思います、見落とさなかったから良かったけど。

帰りの車も手配が漏れていたのかなかなか来ず、カウンターに帰りの車はいつ来るのか聞くとすぐ来るというので待っていると来たのはタクシー。
費用は自分持みたいなことも言われ、同行した外国人カップルも同じ所まで乗るためカウンターと話をつけてくれて、行きと同じバンを呼んでもらえ無事に帰れましたが自分たちだけだったら、後味の悪いイベントになってたかもしれません。

先にも書きましたがパラセイリング自体はとてもエキサイティングで楽しかったので、もし次があるとすれば日本語の通じる催行会社を探すと思います。
日本語サイトで申し込めて、日本人の参加者も多いと思いますので、日本語ＯＫなスタッフを配置するなどもう少し日本人への気遣いも欲しかったです。

Parasailing with this company was Awsome!!! We were 7 first timers and they made the experience easy and enjoyable. Would definitely seek same company out again.

I participated in the 120-meter event. At first, I was unsure whether to ask for photos, but it was the right decision to go ahead and ask. I'm glad I got to take pictures with Diamond Head in the background! ♪

120メートルで参加しました。
最初は写真を撮ってもらうか迷ってましたが、お願いして正解でした。
ダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに写真撮ってもらえて良かった♪

On time and friendly pick up in Waikiki got us to the dock. Filled out the legal paperwork and boarded the boat within 10 minutes. Friendly crew of two; Jamel the skipper and Gene rigger and photographer. You get rigged at your seat then sit down on the back deck to get hooked up to the parasail. They reel you out to about 1,000ft then real you back in. If you don't want to get wet you have to ask, otherwise you get dunked on the way back in. We also recommend you get the photos; Gene does a good job and you get them on an SD card to take with. Our 14 year old girls really enjoyed it as did the mom and dad; we went up two at a time, but they can take three (and maybe four?); total time aloft was about 10-12 minutes. Total time Waikiki to Waikiki was about 3 - 3.5 hours.

Great fun. I would recommend them and go again!! They made everyone comfortable and safety was utmost important to them.

We had a blast. My hubby was not so thrilled about me booking this, but when we got up there he was amazed. We went almost 1200 ft up and it was so quiet and peaceful. The guys that took us out were great and it was nice to enjoy the boat ride while others were up in the air. Something I will absolutely repeat. Oh and they offer to take pictures of u while u r up there. we got about 75 pics they give us on a little sd card for $35 way worth it.
