All Reviews for For 8 Year Olds

I live in Hawaii half the time.

My friend is coming to Hawaii and wants to try surfing, so I signed up for lessons. I can ride the waves, but I don't have the skill or stamina to teach, so I signed up for my friend's sake.

In reality, surfing has its own competition for waves (territory?), but here, you can take lessons at a long-established place with no complaints.

No matter which instructor you get, most people are able to stand up on the board, and if there are any who haven't yet, they focus on helping them, which I think is very considerate.

半分ハワイに在住してます。

お友達がハワイに来るのに際して、サーフィンをやりたいということで申し込みました。
自分は波乗りをするのですが教えるほどの技量や体力がないので友達の為に申し込みました。

実際にサーフィンは波取り合戦が（縄張り？）があるので、ここは老舗で文句なしの状態でレッスンを受けれます。

どの先生にあたっても、ほとんどの人が立てますし、まだ立ててない人がいると集中的に手伝ってくれたりと、かなり良心的だと思います。

My family of 5 had a blast parasailing. The staff were great and made the experience a lot of fun. The time in the boast went by so fast but when I was up in the air, the time seemed to stand still. The ride is very peaceful and the views are outstanding. I didn't even mind the dunk in the ocean on our way down to the boat.
The value of the activities was very high, especially considering the discounted price we received at Hawaii Activities.

I thought it would be perfect to participate since my grandchildren (6 and 3 years old) have a turtle at home and are interested in fish. As expected, the children were thrilled and excited about the various fish and sea turtles.

I'm glad I participated.

孫（6歳、3歳）が、自宅で亀を飼っていることと、魚などに興味があったので、ぴったりと思い参加しました。予想通り子供たちは様々な魚やウミガメに大喜びで興奮していました。

参加して良かったと思います。

I set the height to the lowest setting, but I was able to enjoy a beautiful view of the very high and stunning sea!

The staff made an effort to communicate important information in Japanese, so I felt at ease even though they were not Japanese.

私は高さを一番低いものに設定したのですが
とても高くてきれいな海を一望できました！！

スタッフの方は大切なところはちゃんと日本語で
伝えようとしてくれたので、スタッフが日本人でなくても
あんしんでした★

This was the first time parasailing for me and my brother and it won't be our last. It was awesome. Captain Aaron and Hector were so cool and they made the boat ride out a lot of fun. Seeing the island from up in the air was so amazing. The pictures came out great and we were glad we had them take them. It was well worth it.

It wasn't scary and was enjoyable. Two very cheerful guys efficiently took turns guiding us. On the contrary, they might not have been annoying, but they confidently asked for tips. It was $20 for the two of us. Just for your reference...

怖くもなく楽しめました。とっても明るいお兄さん２人がてきぱきと順番に飛ばしてくれます。逆に嫌味がないのかもしれませんが、堂々とチップを求められました。２人で２０ドルでした。ご参考までに…。

It wasn't my first time paragliding, so I was relaxed and not nervous, but once I went up, it was higher than I imagined, and instead of feeling good, I was scared. My husband enjoyed it.

パラセーリングは初めてではなかったので、緊張もなくリラックスして乗りましたが、いざ上にあがると想像した以上に高くて、気持ちいいはずが怖かったです。
夫は楽しんでいました。

A little nervous at first. Would have liked to go first and have time enjoying the boat ride. Overall the staff was very cool and fun while staying safety aware. A great time!!!

I can't swim very well, but I want to try surfing!! So, I participated in a lesson with Hands Heedman Hawaii Local Surfing Lessons☆

The instructor taught us patiently in both Japanese and English at the office, and we practiced exactly as we were taught during the two sessions.

Once we got into the water, if I couldn't paddle well, they would pull me along, which really reduced my fear.

I highly recommend this for beginners♪

ほとんど泳げないけど、サーフィンをやってみたい！！
ということで、ハンズ・ヒーデマン ハワイローカルサーフィン・レッスンのレッスンに参加☆

オフィスで日本語と英語で丁寧にインストラクターの方が教えてくれ、２回実際に教えてもらった通りに練習。

海にはいってからも、うまくパドリングできないときは、ひっぱってくれたり、怖さが半減しました。

初心者の方にもおすすめです♪

Out of this world! Everything and more than what we had hoped. Certainly an activity for all ages, young and old.

We took a boat from Waikiki out to sea and transferred to a submarine.

The sea around Waikiki had waves, and I got seasick on the boat to the submarine. If you are prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking medication in advance.

The underwater scenery is very beautiful, and it's recommended for those who can't swim (or dive). We were lucky enough to see sea turtles and sharks. It was great to see the clear, beautiful ocean.

When the submarine surfaced and submerged, it was really cool. A must-see!

ワイキキから船で沖へ行き潜水艦に乗換え。

ワイキキの海は波があり、潜水艦までの船で船酔いをしました。酔いやすい方は事前に酔い止めを。

海の中はとても綺麗で、泳げない(ダイビングが出来ない)方にはお勧めです。
私達は運が良く、ウミガメ、サメを見る事が出来ました。
澄んだ綺麗な海の中を見れたので、良かったです。

潜水艦が水中から上がって来る時、沈む時、
かっこよかったです。必見！

I experienced parasailing.

I was anxious due to my fear of heights, but up in the sky, it was calm, and I was very satisfied with the magnificent view. Since transportation is included, it's reassuring even for beginners in Hawaii. The total time is about 2 hours, so it doesn't interfere with other plans. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to sign up for this tour and recommend it to my friends.

However, there is one point to note. That is seasickness. I am prone to seasickness, so the rocking of the boat while others were parasailing was tough. Motion sickness medication is a must.

パラセーリングを体験してきました。


高所恐怖症のため不安がありましたが、空の上は穏やかで、壮大な景色にとても満足しました。
送迎付なので、ハワイ初心者でも安心です。
時間も正味２時間程度なので、他の予定の邪魔になりません。
またハワイに行く機会があればぜひ申し込みたいですし、友人にも紹介したいツアーです。

ただ、一つだけ注意点があります。
それは、船酔いです。
元々船酔いするタイプでしたので、他の方がパラセーリングしている間の船の揺れは辛かったです。
酔い止めの薬は必須です。

I took a surfing lesson using an extra-large surfboard, and I was able to stand up on my first try as if it were the most natural thing. The slogan is "Even beginners can stand up," so maybe that's to be expected, but it felt a bit too easy from the start, which was a bit of a letdown.

The lesson was just a 5-minute walk from the shop, and the 2 hours flew by. However, since we were learning right above a coral reef, I was really focused on not falling. My husband ended up injuring his foot.

But I was happy that we were able to get some photos taken. I thought the $30 for the CD was a reasonable price.

超特大のサーフボードを使ってのサーフィンレッスン、
当たり前のように沖に行って1度目で立てました。
「初めての人でも立てる」がうたい文句なので
仕方がないのかもしれないですけど、
なんだか初めから簡単すぎて拍子抜けでした。

レッスンはショップから徒歩5分の場所で
2時間はあっ~という間でしたが、
すぐ下にサンゴ礁がある上でのレッスンだったので、落ちたくない一心でした。
旦那は足にケガしてしまいました。

でも写真を撮ってもらえたので嬉しかったです。
CD代30ドルは良心的な価格だと思いました。

This was our ( my husband and myself) first Parasailing experience, and we'd do it again. Very fun, and also very relaxing. No worries, very safe. The crew was great and did a wonderful job with photographing us as well, which was most appreciated!

When you think of Hawaii, you think of surfing! So, I took my first challenge. Since the board is big, it's easy to balance and you'll be able to ride it quickly! The waiting time for waves can be long, so I recommend the intensive course because an hour and a half goes by in no time.

One thing to be careful about is that I accidentally forgot to put sunscreen on my legs, and I ended up with swelling and a bad experience, so don't forget it!

ハワイといえばサーフィン！ということで、初チャレンジしました。
大きいボードなのでバランスが取りやすくすぐに乗れるようになりますよ！
波待ちの時間が長いので、1時間半だとあっという間に時間が経ってしまうと思うので集中コースのほうがおすすめです。

気をつけてもらいたいのが、脚に日焼け止めを塗るのをうっかり忘れてしまい、腫れてひどい目に遭いましたのでお忘れなく。

We participated as a couple.
The view of Hawaii from above was beautiful.
They offer photo shoots for $15.
Everyone, including the guide, was a foreigner, and we were the only Japanese participants.

On the day of the event, the waves were quite high, and I ended up feeling a bit seasick at the end.

夫婦で参加しました。
上空からのハワイの景色がきれいでした。
１５ドルで写真撮影をしてくれます。
ガイドも含め全員外国人で日本人参加者は私たちのみでした。

当日かなり波が高く、最後少し船酔いしてしまいました。

It was quite good. The kids were excited.

なかなか良かったです。子供が興奮していました。

This was our first time, both of us were just a little nervous at first, but after we were lifted up in the air we decovered how peaceful it was and we are looking forward to doing it again,

I experienced parasailing for the first time with my elementary school daughter. The wind was quite strong that day, so we swayed like a swing and didn't have much opportunity to enjoy the scenery. My daughter said she enjoyed the speed of the boat going out to sea more than the parasailing itself. We also took a photo of her splashing into the cold sea up to her waist, which became a nice memory. I paid $20 for the film and chips.

初めてのパラセイリングを小学生の娘と体験しました。
その日はかなり風が強くブランコのようにゆれたので、
景色を堪能する余裕はありませんでした。
娘はパラセイリングより、ボートが沖にでるまでのスピード感のほうが楽しかったと言っています。
冷たい海に腰までジャポン！とつかるところも写真に撮って
くれて、良い記念になりました。
フィルムとチップで＄20支払いました。

This ride is sooooo much fun. Anyone can do it. Don't think you are too skinny or too fat. Either way you are getting a great ride. We even saw a guy that weighed 290 ride with a guy who was 240. Over 500 pounds and up they went like they were butterflies. The day we went the waves were choppy and it caused a little sea sickness for a couple of us but other than that we had an outstanding time.Our group had teens, 20's, 40's and 50's. Everyone screamed for joy. It was a great time.

OUTSTANDING.

We reluctantly participated at the children's request. Perhaps because it was fully booked with a capacity of 12 people, our family of three was sent up all at once. I was worried about exceeding the weight limit, but it turned out to be fine. The parasailing was fun, but since we were sent up in a sort of assembly line manner, I had some doubts about whether this is how it usually is... It's important to check the time slots for reservations.

子供たちの希望でやむなく参加しました。定員１２名の満席状態だったせいか、私たち家族は３名一度に飛ばされました。重量オーバーにならないか心配でしたが、なんとか大丈夫でした。パラセイルは楽しかったのですが、流れ作業的に飛ばされたのでこんなものなのかと少々疑問が。。。
申し込みの時間帯、要チェックです。

I participated with my husband and mother-in-law. Since we were off the coast of Waikiki, I wasn't expecting much, but it was better than I imagined. First of all, taking a boat to Waikiki is great. The view of Waikiki from the sea is amazing. We were also able to see turtles underwater. One issue, though, is that after coming up from the submarine, the boat sways quite a bit, and it can make you feel seasick. It might be a good idea to take some motion sickness medication.

主人と義母の3人で参加。
ワイキキ沖ですから、たいして期待していなかったのですが、想像以上によかったですよ。
まずワイキキ沖にボートで行くのがよい。海から見るワイキキは最高です。そして海中では亀を見ることができました。ただ一点問題は、潜水艦からあがったあと、沖合の船上がゆれて結構酔います。酔い止め飲んだ方がいいかもしれません。

Let me start out by saying thankyou for a wonderful time. your staff took good care of us,and were courteous till the end.very knowledgeable,and interesting too! Hats off to everyone at hawaii activities.thankyou again,
sincerely, jack cracchiolo

Overall good fun but only complaint is not enough stuff to see great staff

I personally have no problem with roller coasters, but I screamed a lot during this parasailing. The height was much higher than I had imagined, and the view was really great. They take a few photos for about $25 on the boat, so I definitely think you should have them take your pictures (you'll get the film).

私自身、絶叫マシーンはぜんぜん大丈夫なのですが、このパラセイリングはとても絶叫しました。
高さも想像していたよりもかなり高く、景色も非常によかったです。
船内で25ドルくらいで写真を数枚撮ってくれるので、絶対に撮ってもらったほうがいいと思います。（撮影したフィルムをもらえます）

Kids (aged 14 and 15) went up while my 11 year old and I rode along. Seas were a little choppy, but not horrible, yet I still got a little motion sickness. The crew took awesome care of me and showed genuine concern. They took nice photo's of the experience (not of me, thanks) for the kids to enjoy. Huge success for the kids, but if you think you might get the least bit of a queasy stomach, take a pill before boarding! :)

My 15 year old son and I had an awesome time and would love to go again! Everything went well, from the online registration to on site check in to the parasailing itself. What really made the trip for us were the two guys that ran the show. They were friendly, polite and put you at ease right away. They totally made the experience. We got the photos and are so glad we did - they turned out great and captured the experience even better than we hoped.

The boater was kind of rude because he intentionally indirectly exaggerated on tips. I thought I paid enough for the ride but well..

I was really scared to do this but my 14 year old son wanted to try it. The staff is so friendly and helpful, and professional with the equipment. They are also really funny and nice. They tell you exactly what you need to do. It was fabulous! We had the best time, and loved the experience. The crew is great. They will even take pictures for you for an extra fee of $15 (you take the film home.) Don't forget to bring money for a tip. You don't really need the extra towels, change of clothes, and you can buy water there. If I return to Hawaii I will do this again!
