All Reviews for For 12 Year Olds

I experienced parasailing for the first time, and I was very moved to see the scenery of Honolulu from the ocean side while flying!! I want to do it again when I go back.

パラセーリング初めて体験しましたが、ホノルルの景色を海側から飛びながら見れてとても感動しました！！また行ったらやりたいです。

It was absolutely amazing.
The breeze from the boat felt great!
It was my first time parasailing, but I really enjoyed it.
It should definitely be an extreme experience.

とにかく最高でした。
船の風が気持ちよかった！
初めてのパラセーリングだったけど楽しめました。
エキストリームにすべきです。

Great time! Nice, comfortable ride out with great weather. Crew was very accommodating to our little group. We had someone with special needs, and they worked very hard to make her feel safe, comfortable and happy. !000 foot ride, just perfect! Wonderful memories forever!

The staff was polite, and the view was amazing. I got seasick, but I appreciate the good service I received. I would like to use this service again.

スタッフも丁寧だし、眺めも最高でした。
舟酔いしたけど、良い対応してもらい感謝です。
また利用したいと思いました。

I participated in this tour for my honeymoon! I was a bit anxious because the trolley driver, the tour guide, and all the other participants were from overseas and spoke no Japanese at all. However, once it started, I found that there were Japanese explanations provided, so it all worked out!

It was my first time parasailing, and I was really nervous, but once I took off, the beauty of the sky and the sea was just amazing. I didn't feel scared at all and was able to enjoy it! I did fall into the sea a few times, but that was also incredibly fun.

The time spent on the boat while others were parasailing was also a blast, and we even had the miraculous appearance of a whale, which really boosted our excitement! They offered photo services for an additional fee, but I received a message saying they might have given our photo disk to someone else when we returned to the hotel. After checking, I was relieved to find out it was indeed our disk.

Although there were a few moments of anxiety, in the end, I had an absolutely fantastic time!

新婚旅行でこちらのツアーに参加しました！！
送迎のトロリーの運転手さん、ツアーのガイドさん、ツアーの参加者の方たち全ての方が海外の方で一切日本語が通じず、少し不安でしたが、実際始まってみると日本語の説明書なども用意されておりなんとかなりました！！
初めてのパラセイリングでとにかくドキドキでしたが、絶叫系が苦手な私でも飛び上がってみれば空や海の綺麗さがとにかく最高で、全然怖さも感じず楽しむことが出来ました！！
途中何度か海に落とされたりもしましたが、それもまた最高に楽しかったです。
他の方がパラセイリングを行っている際にボートに乗っている時間も最高に楽しく、奇跡的にクジラちゃんまで登場で最高にテンションが上がりました！！
別料金で写真の撮影などもしてくれたのですが、ホテルに戻ってから他の方の写真ディスクを渡したかもしれないとの連絡・・・確認すると自分たちのディスクだったので一安心でした。。
少し不安になることもありましたが、結果最高に楽しめました！！

It was our first parasailing experience. There is nothing scary at all. You would spend one of the best 10min of your life.

I'm not a fan of thrill rides, but I decided to join the 150m attraction at my husband's request for our honeymoon memories. The view was amazing, and I had a lot of fun!

The pickup vehicle was supposed to be a colorful car as stated on the reservation, but in reality, it was just a plain blue car, making it hard to identify unless you actively look for it.

If you let them know you're Japanese, you can get the consent form in Japanese. Also, one of the passengers got seasick and vomited, so taking motion sickness medication is a must.

絶叫系アトラクションは苦手ですが、新婚旅行の思い出にと旦那さんのリクエストで思い切って150mに参加。景色も最高で非常に楽しかったです！
ピックアップの車は、カラフルなロゴの入った車と予約票には明記されていますが、実際はただの青い車で自分からアピールしないとわかりにくいです。
車内で記入する同意書は、日本人だと伝えると日本語版が貰えます。
また、同乗した方は船酔いして吐いていましたので、酔い止め必須です。

This is my second time participating. Three years ago, when I joined, we had to carry the surfboards from the shop to the beach ourselves, which was quite heavy and challenging. However, it has improved, and now we only need to transport them from the car parked by the beach to the water's edge! This is much easier.

I signed up for a group lesson, but since there were only two of us that day, it turned into a semi-private lesson, which was lucky. The timing was perfect, and I was able to stand up properly from the first try! The instructor spoke mostly English, but once we were out in the water, we only needed to use commands like "paddle" and "stand," so it wasn't a problem if you didn't speak English. Occasionally, they checked on us in a mix of Japanese, asking things like "Are you tired?" (laughs).

The group doing stand-up paddleboarding at the same time also let us surf towards the end. All the staff were friendly, and I had a great time participating again.

2度目の参加です。3年前に参加した時はサーフボードをショップからビーチまで自分たちで運ばなければならず結構重くて大変だったのですが、改善されてビーチサイドに止めた車から波打ち際まで運ぶだけで良くなっていました！これは楽チン。

グループレッスンを申し込みましたがこの日は二人だけだったので、セミプライベートになりラッキー。タイミング良く波に乗せてくれるので、1回目からちゃんと立つことができました！
担当してくれた方はほとんど英語ですが、沖に出てしまえば「漕いで」「立って」くらいしか使わないので英語が出来なくても問題ないです。時々日本語まじりで「ツカレタ？」などと気遣ってくれました(笑)
同じ時間にスタンドアップパドルをしていたグループも最後の方にはパドルを置いてサーフィンをさせてくれていましたよ。スタッフは皆フレンドリーで今回も楽しく参加できました。

On the night of our wedding in Hawaii, we went with both families! When making the reservation, I was torn between the buffet and the VIP dinner, but since it was both our wedding day and my birthday, I decided to go for the VIP dinner. The food was delicious, featuring lobster, steak, and salmon, all beautifully presented.

During the show, an Elvis impersonator came down from the stage to hug us and even gave us leis. My mother, who is from the Elvis generation, was thrilled with the lei and the hug! He also visited the second-floor seats. The performances by Elvis, Gaga, and Michael, along with the hula show, were all so much fun!

After the show, we were able to take commemorative photos with Elvis, Gaga, and Michael! I even got a signature on a photo I had purchased in advance. When I told Elvis that it was my birthday and wedding day, he congratulated me and gifted me the scarf he was wearing around his neck! Even though he was an impersonator, I felt like I had met the real deal, and it was so exciting (laughs).

It seemed like my family enjoyed it too, and it turned out to be a wonderful night! I would love to see other impersonators next time!

ハワイ挙式当日の夜に、両家家族みんなで行きました！
予約する時に、ビュッフェとVIPディナーと迷ったのですが、挙式当日＆自分の誕生日というのもあって、せっかくならと思い、VIPディナーにしました。
お料理はロブスター、ステーキ、サーモンなど、どれもおいしく、見た目も楽しめました。
ショーでは、プレスリー（のそっくりさん）がステージから降りてきてハグしてくれたり、レイをプレゼントしてくれたりします。
プレスリー世代の母は、レイのプレゼント＆ハグに興奮してました！
2階席にも行ってくれてました。
プレスリー、ガガ、マイケルのステージ、フラショー、全部楽しかったです！
ショー終了後は、プレスリー、ガガ、マイケルと記念写真が撮れます！
私は事前に購入した写真にサインもして頂きました。
プレスリーに今日誕生日＆結婚式だったと伝えると、おめでとうと首にかけていたスカーフをプレゼントしてくれました！
そっくりさんなのに、本物に会ったかのようにテンションあがってしまいました（笑）
家族も楽しんでくれたようで、とってもステキな夜になりました！
今度は他のそっくりさんも観てみたいです！

On the last day of our first trip to Hawaii, my wife, who has a fear of heights, wanted to try this, so we ordered it. The staff were very good and we had a great time. I definitely want to challenge myself to 150 meters next time. The driver who picked us up was funny.

はじめてのハワイ旅行最終日前日に高所恐怖症の嫁がやりたいとの事で注文しました
とても良いスタッフの人達で楽しかったです
ぜひまた今度は150mにチャレンジしてみたいです
送迎の運転手のおじさんが面白かったです

I used to scoff at parasailing, but I listened to my wife's wish to try it and took on the challenge for the first time! It was easier than I thought, and once I was up there, I could enjoy a surprisingly peaceful moment with a view of Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, and the blue ocean all to myself. It was amazing! I definitely want to do it again! But if it were a bit cheaper, I would do it twice a day!

パラセーリングなんて？！ってバカにしていたけどどうしてもやりたいと言う妻の希望をきいて初チャレンジ！思ったより簡単で、いざ上に上がってみればそこからはダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキビーチと青い海を独り占め出来る驚くほど静かひととき。最高！是非またやりたい！けどもうちょい安ければ１日２回でもやるんだけどなあ。

We watched a Japanese video at the shop beforehand and then headed to the beach. It was quite tiring, but since it was a longboard, I managed to stand up and ride the waves properly. Everyone was able to ride the waves. Paddling is extremely exhausting. They lend you rash guards and boots. They also burn the images taken at the shop onto a CD and sell them. If you like them and want to buy, it's a good idea to bring some money.

事前にお店で日本語のビデオを見て、ビーチへ。
結構疲れますが、ロングボードなので何とか立てて、ちゃんと波にも乗れました。
全員がちゃんと波に乗ってました。
パドリングが滅茶滅茶疲れます。
ラッシュガードとブーツは貸してくれます。
お店で写した画像をCDに焼いて売ってくれます。気に入って購入する場合もあるので、お金を持って行った方が良いです。

We got great enjoyment from para sailing.
Crew was absolutely splendid. Instructions
were clear and easy to understand.

It was amazing! The ocean was beautiful, and I really had a great time!! I want to go back and jump again when I visit Hawaii!

さいこうでしたぁー！
海も綺麗だし本当に楽しかったです！！
ハワイに行ったらまた飛びたいとおもいます！

Helpful driver(young man but forgot name..sorry). Mosquito repellent and walking stick. Thought about taking bus, but the last stop is a bit of a distance from trailhead. This shuttle expedites the process. Picked up and dropped off at Waikiki hotel. If you have limited time on the island I would definitely recommend this tour. The hike itself is not overly demanding in dry conditions. Wife and I are in 50's and in so-so condition. I thought this was easier than Diamond Head hike, which wasn't difficult either. Probably an entirely different story if wet and rainy. Get off the beach and experience another aspect of the island. Enjoyed it.

Amazing crew and an amazing time! Would definitely suggest to anyone that wants to try parasailing!

I opted for the Hawaiian buffet dinner and show. The tables for eight are set up outside on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, so you will be seated with others. While enjoying a complimentary Mai Tai, I watched the hula performance by four dancers, and after a while, the buffet began. Well, it was just an ordinary buffet. At $54, I personally recommend dining at a restaurant within the Royal Hawaiian Center and participating in just the show.

The main show was enjoyable. The performances of Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson, even as impersonations, were fantastic. Personally, I found the hula and Tahitian dance more impressive than the impersonations. Since it's a theater, the sound system is good, allowing for a powerful hula performance.

The theater is air-conditioned, so I think it's a good idea to bring a long-sleeved cover-up.

ハワイアンビュッフェディナー＆ショーにしました。
ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4F野外に設置された8人掛けテーブルに詰めて座らせられるので相席になります。無料のマイタイを飲みながら4人のダンサーのフラを見てしばらくするとビュッフェ開始。まぁ〜普通のビュッフェです。
コレに$54となると？？？個人的にはロイヤルハワイアンセンター内のレストランで食事をしてショーだけのプランで参加をオススメするかな。

メインのショーは楽しかったです。
ガガ様やマイケル・ジャクソンはモノマネとは言え素晴らしいパフォーマンスでした。
個人的にはモノマネよりもフラダンスやタヒチアンダンスの方が見応えがあった。
劇場なので音響がいいので迫力があるフラが見れます。

劇場内はクーラーが効いているので長袖の羽織るものは持って行った方がいいと思います。

We requested parasailing, which my husband wanted to do on our honeymoon. A wild guy came to pick us up, and we were all excited to join among the international crowd! The crew was cheerful, and we soared high, experiencing the best views! I forgot to say "drive please" and ended up in the sea, but it was incredibly fun! I want to participate again!

ハネムーンで旦那さんのやりたかったパラセーリングをお願いしました。pick upからワイルドなおじさんが来られ、みんな海外の人の中でわくわく参加しました！クルーの方も陽気で、たかーく上がり最高の絶景を感じれました！ドライプリーズと言い忘れ海に浸かったりしたけど最高に楽しかったです！また参加したいです‼︎

It felt like it started and ended somewhat aimlessly. It must be great for children and the elderly.

なんとなく始まりなんとなく終わった感じです。
お子さんとかお年寄りにはとてもいいんでしょうね。

I was excited for my first parasailing experience! Since it was our honeymoon, we decided to try something we wouldn't normally do, and we took on parasailing.

The pickup was in front of the Duke Kahanamoku statue. It might be a bit hard to find? A trolley came to pick us up. It was a flashy trolley with a parasailing design against a blue sky.

As soon as we got on the trolley, we arrived at the sea.

After checking in at the boat dock and waiting for a while, we were taken onto the boat in order based on our parasailing height.

We were given a paper during check-in, so if you show it to someone near the boat, there won't be any mistakes.

Once on the boat, the explanation began right away. They spoke in simple English, which was easy to understand, and there was also a Japanese instruction sheet circulating, so it was fine.

I think the parasailing lasted about 5 minutes per group.

But it was very satisfying! In fact, for first-timers, 5 minutes might be tiring.

When we experienced it, the weather was great and the scenery was fantastic.

Seeing Hawaii from the sky was wonderful.

At one point, they lowered the height and dipped our bottoms in the water.

As first-timers, we were satisfied even at 110 meters!

I enjoy heights and thrilling attractions, but it turned out that my wife isn't very good with heights. She seemed to have fun, though.

As a side note, all four couples who participated with us were mixed-gender couples, and among them, three women, including my wife, got seasick from the boat's rocking instead of from parasailing. It might be a bit tough for those who are prone to motion sickness.

I would love to participate again.

人生初のパラセイリングでワクワク！
新婚旅行だったので普段しないようなことをしようということでパラセイリングに挑戦しました

ピックアップはデュークカハナモク像の前
少しわかりずらい？トロリーが迎えに来てくれます
青空がバックのパラセイリングの写真柄の派手なトロリーでした

トロリーに乗るとすぐに海に到着

船の乗り場で受付を済ませてしばらく待っているとパラセイリングの高度別？で順番に船に乗せてもらえます

受付の際に紙を渡されるので、それを船の近くにいる人に見せれば間違うことはありません

船に乗るとさっそく説明が始まります
簡単な英語で話してくださるのでわかりやすいですが、日本語の説明書も回覧で回ってくるので大丈夫です

パラセイリングは1組ずつで5分ほどだったと思います

が、とっても満足できます！
むしろ初めてだと5分以上は疲れるかもしれません

私たちが体験したときは
天気も良く景色はサイコーでした

空から見たハワイも素晴らしかったです

途中高度を下げてお尻を水面にもつけてくれます

初めての私たちは110mでも満足は出来ましたよ！

私は高いところやスリリングなアトラクションは好きなのですが、嫁は高いところがあまり得意ではないということが今回の体験で判明しました
楽しかったのは楽しかったようですが。

余談ですが今回一緒に参加した4組は全て
男女のカップルだったのですが、ウチの嫁を含め3組の女性がパラセイリングではなく船の揺れで酔っていました
船酔いしやすい方には少し辛いかもしれません

また参加したいです。

The tour is for everybody. I think it'll be more species but it's a good one to go with children.

We participated as a family of four. We chose the 120M height. Besides our family, there was a couple and one woman participating alone. I was a bit unsure when making the reservation, but I felt that the 120M height was sufficient. Even if it were 30M higher, I might not have noticed much difference. It was high, and the flying time felt quite long.

Due to weight considerations, my son was able to fly twice with the woman who was participating alone. I ended up giving her a tip as a thank you, but I regretted not being able to buy the photos when we got off the boat. It seemed like there were about 120 photos for $30. I wish I could get them now. I thought it would be better not to bring valuables, so I went without my wallet, but I realized there was a place under the seats on the boat to put bags, so it was fine.

Before landing, we were dipped in the water, which was fun, but during the last woman's turn, she only got wet up to her legs, and I thought, "Huh?" When I looked closely, I saw that she wasn't wearing a swimsuit. I was impressed by the thoughtful attention and skill.

The optional fee for a family of four isn't cheap, but it was truly enjoyable and memorable, and I'm glad we participated. Thank you to the staff.

P.S. We were lucky to see whales on the way out!

家族４人で参加しました。高さは120Mにしました。私たち家族の他にはカップル１組と、女性が１人で参加されていました。予約の時に色々迷ったのですが、私としては１２０Mで充分な高さを感じられました。あと３０M高くなってもあまりわからないかも。高かったです。飛んでいる時間も結構長く感じました。
体重の関係で、うちの息子が一人参加の女性と一緒に２回飛ばせて頂きました。お礼にと思い、チップをはずんでしまい、船から降りた時に写真が買えなくなってしまったのが心残りです。３０ドルで１２０枚くらいあるようでした。今からでも欲しいです。あまり貴重品は持っていかない方がいいかなと思い、お財布を持たずに行ったのですが、船の席の下にバッグを置ける場所もあり大丈夫だったなと思いました。
着陸前にいったん水に浸けられて楽しいのですが、最後の女性の時は脚までしか水に浸からないかったので、あれ？と思ってよく見たら、彼女は水着ではありませんでした。細やかな心使いと、技術に感動しました。
家族４人だと安くないオプショナル料金ですが、本当に楽しくて思い出になり参加して良かったなと思います。スタッフの方々ありがとうございました。
P.S.沖に向かう途中クジラも見ることができてラッキーでした。

We spent Christmas in Hawaii and went on this excursion and absolutely loved it!!! The crew was fabulous and we would do this excursion again!!! Saw a turtle and a shark and lots of other cool stuff!!! Great excursion to do 1st!!! Some folks may need a little dramimine for motion sickness, however, you don't even notice how far down you are, it's amazing!!!

At the beginning, I was told that there would be a bit of a stronger warning for safety in the ocean, and that was indeed the case. Even though I understood, it still made me feel a bit down. Surfing was fun.

I felt uncomfortable listening to some rather rude things said to another man, perhaps because they thought he didn't understand English. I wondered if men of the sea are just that foul-mouthed!?

最初の説明で海では安全のため少し強めに注意されます。と言われてその通りでした。
わかってはいても心は少し折れました。
サーフィンは楽しかったです。

英語がわからないと思ったのか、他の男性に結構失礼なこと言ってたのが、聞いてて不愉快に感じました。海の男は口が悪いものなのか！？と思いました。

The crew on the boat are total pro's. Extremely safe and a lot of fun! Did the 800 foot line ride, will definitely be doing it again next visit. Lots of great pics taken by the crew, cost under $30 for SD card. The boat ride was awesome too! Thank you!!!

This was the high light of our trip to Hawaii. The ride and the operators were great! I would definitely recommend this company.

THIS EVENT WAS AWESOME BLOSSOM!!!! THE CAPTAIN WAS EVEN COOLER HE HAD OLD SCHOOL MUSIC PLAYING JAMMING ALL THE 70'S, 80'S, AND 90'S!! OUR LITTLE CAMERA GUY WAS A LITTLE HOTTIE TOO LOL!!! THE PARASAILING WAS A LITTLE SCARING GOING UP BUT THE EXPERIENCE WAS EVERYTHING AND I DEFINITELY WOULD DO IT AGAIN, IN HOPES OF HAVING THE SAME CREW TOOO!!! THANKS FOR MAKING MY 50TH BIRTHDAY SOOOO MEMORABLE!!!!

FIFTY FINE, AND FAVOR!!! FROM MIDLOTHIAN (DALLAS), TX

The weather was perfect, making it an ideal day for parasailing. As soon as we set out, the instructions were in English, but there was also a proper Japanese manual available. Since photography was not allowed on the boat, I requested some photos. (I would have appreciated prior information about the use of waterproof cameras and that participants would not be able to take photos simultaneously.)

After waiting in line, it was finally our turn! The view was, of course, amazing and a lot of fun! Those with a fear of heights might find it challenging! While I was distracted by the scenery, there was a signal from the boat via the rope that indicated it was time to take photos. The fee was $30, which I thought was reasonable.

The actual time spent up in the air was just under 5 minutes, but the satisfaction exceeded that. The local staff had some funny moments, creating a friendly atmosphere, so the waiting time was not a burden. I thought about wanting to challenge myself to go even higher next time!

I was very satisfied with the monitor tour and shared the photos and fun stories with my family. If you go to Hawaii, it's definitely worth experiencing at least once!!!

お天気にも恵まれ、最高のパラセイリング日和でした。 沖に出るなり、英語での説明でしたが、きちんと日本語の説明書もありました。船内では写真撮影ができないため、写真を希望しました。（事前に防水カメラの使用可、参加者が同時に体験することで写真撮影不可などの説明がほしかった）
順番待ちをして、いざ出番！眺めはもちろん、かなり楽しいです！高所恐怖症の方は厳しいかもしれませんね！ 途中眺めに気をとられていると、船からロープを伝って合図があり、写真を撮るよ！との合図あり。料金は、＄30ですが、高くはないかなーと思います。
実際に上がっている時間は5分ないくらいですが、それ以上に満足感があります。 現地スタッフの方も笑わせてくれるポイントがあるので、和気あいあいとしており待っている時間も苦ではないです。 次回はさらに高く挑戦したいと思いました！
モニターツアーに大満足し、家族へ写真と楽しい話で盛り上がりました。
是非、Hawaiiへ行ったら1度は体験する価値ありますよ!!!

I wanted to fly over the crystal-clear blue ocean in Hawaii, so I decided to participate in parasailing this time. The driver for the pickup only spoke English, but they provided us with consent forms in Japanese, so there were no issues at all. The meeting place was easy to find, making it very convenient. We picked up other participants and it was about a 10-minute drive from the city center. We waited for the previous group to return by boat, and finally, it was our turn. Each boat holds about 10 people, and we were the only Japanese participants. (By the way, everyone else was a couple. Haha.) The handsome guys on the boat occasionally spoke a few words in Japanese. There were instructions available in both English and Japanese. Most participants were in just their swimsuits, but if you don't want to get wet, you can let them know, and they will avoid the performance where you get into the water, so some people wore T-shirts. The boat itself rocked more than I had imagined. If you are prone to seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication before participating. For parasailing, you wear a life jacket in turn. When you’re not up in the air, you basically just enjoy the view of the ocean. The moment you take off is very exciting and fun! The time spent up in the air isn’t very long, but since you’re just flying, I think that duration is just right. When landing, they performed a little splash landing, which was also enjoyable. While you’re up there, it can feel a bit boring, but the view is amazing! Also, as it says on the boat, tips are not included.

ハワイの透き通るような青い海の上を飛んでみたい！ということで今回パラセイリングの参加をきめました。送迎のドライバーさんは英語のみですが、同意書なども日本語の用紙を渡されるので特に問題ありません。集合場所もわかりやすくとても楽でした。車でほかの参加者の方をピックアップして街の中心から１０分ほどのところでした。前の回の方が船で帰ってくるのを待ち、いよいよ私たちの番。一つの船は大体１０名くらいで、日本人は私たちだけでした。（ちなみに私たち以外みんなカップルでした。笑）船のｲｹﾒﾝお兄さんたちは日本語の単語をたまに話してくれます。説明書も英語と日本語の２通りがありました。ほとんどの参加者の方は水着だけの状態になって参加していましたが、濡れたくない場合は言えば海につかるパフォーマンスは避けてくれるそうで、Tシャツを着たままの方もいました。船自体は、想像していたよりも揺れました。酔いやすい方は、酔い止めを飲んでからの参加をおすすめします。パラセイリングは、順番にライフジャケットを着用して行います。自分がやっているとき以外は基本海を眺めてるのみです。飛ぶ瞬間はとてもワクワクで楽しいです！上に上がっている時間自体はそんなに長くないですが、特に飛んでいるだけなのでそれくらいでちょうどよいのかなと思います。降りるときに、お尻あたりが着水するパフォーマンスをしてくれてそれも楽しかったです。上にいる間は少し退屈感もありますが、眺めは最高です！あと、船にも書いてありますがチップは別だそうです。
