A good and comfortable way to experience the sealife. Recommendable to families and people who would like to see colourful fish and turtles without getting wet.

I heard about parasailing and thought, "It sounds fun since you go to a high place," so I casually signed up. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations before going. However, once I actually did it, I was amazed! It was incredibly fun!!
Being up so high and having the stunning view of Hawaii stretching to the horizon was exhilarating! I definitely recommend this to anyone who hasn't tried it yet.
However, the boat sways a lot, so seasickness is a must... Don't forget to bring motion sickness medication.
パラセイリングと聞いて「高い所に行くから楽しそうだな~」と気軽に申し込んでみたものの、行く前まではあまり期待大ではなかったのが正直なところです。しかし実際にやってみて感動!めちゃくちゃ楽しいです!!
こんなに高い所に生身で上がれて、かつ景色が抜群にいいハワイが水平線まで見渡せるという状況に興奮しっぱなし!!
これは間違いなくまだやったことない人にはお勧めです。
しかし、船がとても揺れるので、船酔いは必須。。酔い止め薬は忘れずに。

This was a repeat activity for us so obviously we like it before. It is surprisingly peaceful once you are up in the air and the views are spectacular. I like to stick my arms out a la Superman; I figure this is the closest I'll ever get to feeling like I'm flying. The only negative is my wife didn't care for it the last time, so she just went as an observer (rides in the boat but doesn't parasail). She loves the boat ride so that works for her, but the crew doesn't let anyone go up solo so if you don't have a partner, you end up going up with some stranger. The crew is good at what they do and are very safety conscious.

I participated with my husband’s parents and our family of three. Since there were three of us, I thought we would split into two and one, but we were able to ride together as a group of three. My fifth-grade daughter was scared, but it seems she had a lot of fun. The view from high up was amazing, and we were moved to see all of Waikiki. My husband’s parents, who are celebrating their 60th birthday, were also very happy. For $25, we had about 260 photos taken with 2GB of storage. They turned out really well, and I’m glad we bought them. Since it was for five people, I think we got a particularly large number of photos. While we were on the boat, we also encountered a turtle. We were able to see a ray dancing around as well. It was a lot of fun.
主人の両親と家族3人で参加しました。
3人だったので、2人と1人になるのかと思っていましたが3人で一緒に乗らせてもらいました。
5年生の娘は怖がっていましたが、とても楽しかったみたいです。とても高くワイキキが一望出来て感動でした。
還暦の主人のご両親も、すごく喜んでいました。
25ドルで、2GBに写真を260枚ほど撮っていただきました。とてもよく撮れていて、買ってよかったです。
5人分だったので、特に枚数が多かったと思います。
船に乗っているときに、亀にも遭遇しました。
エイもくるくる踊っている所も見ることが出来ました。

It was fun and felt like a resort, but since six groups were boarding, we were swaying for over an hour, and the seasickness was intense. Almost everyone got sick. Moreover, we were the sixth group out of six, and when we took off, I felt nauseous and nervous, so my condition was at its worst.
However, once we actually took off, it felt really good, and there was absolutely no fear, so my boyfriend, who has a fear of heights, seemed to enjoy it. But whether we actually flew to the specified height, I couldn't tell at all from a layman's perspective! (laughs)
At the end, we bought the photos taken by the instructor, but they didn't give us our change back. Even though we gave a tip separately...

When I participated, there were seven foreigners and four Japanese people. There was also an explanation in Japanese, and I had a lot of fun. If you pay an additional $30, the staff over there will take photos with their camera. They gave me the photos along with an SD card. I think it's a good deal since I got 140 photos with a 2GB card. It seems that it’s also possible for three people, as the foreign guests were a couple with a child.

I tried parasailing for the first time with him. At first, the staff told us, "Not this boat! That one!" and it was quite chaotic. In the end, we were able to get on the boat, but it felt a bit invasive.
Parasailing was so much fun! Due to the weather, only two groups, including us, were able to fly... but we were lucky to be the last ones to board the boat despite our packed schedule!
I was nervous until we took off, but the beautiful view of Waikiki and the round rainbow we saw when looking down were amazing!
Since we understood English, we were able to enjoy it, but it might be a bit inconvenient for those who don't speak English. They speak quickly, and I think you might wonder what they are saying.
I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication.
It became a really great memory!☆

I participated in the Japanese guide's time slot.
I recommend it for those who can't snorkel or dive.
I joined for my 5-year-old son.
We could see sharks and turtles, and we received a pamphlet (in Japanese!) with a list of possible sea creatures we might see, so my son was quite happy comparing the pamphlet with what we saw on the ocean floor.
However, the diving time is a bit long at 45 minutes, so towards the end, it can get a little boring.
Also, it felt like the air conditioning was a bit too strong, so I recommend bringing warm items like a shawl or cardigan.
The staff at the dock were very kind and treated my son very nicely, which was great.
日本語ガイドの時間帯に参加しました。
シュノーケリングやダイビングができない人にお勧めです。
私は5歳の息子のために参加しました。
サメやカメなどが見られるし、見られる可能性のある海の生き物の名前のりすとのあるパンフ(日本語!)ももらえるので、息子はパンフと海の底を見比べては、それなりに喜んでおりました。
ただし、潜水時間が45分とやや長めなので、最後の方はやや飽きがきます。
また、空調がやや効きすぎている感があり、ショールやカーデガンなどの防寒グッズと持っていかれることをお勧めします。
船着き場のスタッフの方がとても親切で、息子にとても優しくしてくれましたのも良かったです。

Well worth the experience for the activity and the views. It is a moderate hike, so if you are overwieght and/or out of shape, it takes a lot of effort. Take water, go earlier rather than later, and don't go on an empty stomach. Very enjoyable.

It was a trip to Hawaii for me, my son, and my 75-year-old mother. However, since my mother's legs were not in good condition before departure, my son and I participated in optional activities separately from her. She joined the submarine tour alone.
The transportation service was said to be kind and attentive. Since the explanation was in Japanese, it was easy to understand and enjoy. She was able to see turtles and many fish swimming.
Additionally, she noticed that Cessnas and boats were intentionally sunk in the fish tanks, where divers were seen diving. For small children, elderly people, or those who want to avoid getting sunburned at the sea, I recommend the submarine and similar activities. Since it's Hawaii, please make sure to see the fish swimming.
Those who have experienced snorkeling or sea walking might find it a bit lacking.
私と息子、母の三人のハワイ旅行でしたが、75歳の母の脚の具合が出発前から、良くなかったので、私と息子、母とオプショナルを分けて参加しました。サブマリンは母が一人で参加。

日本語説明の時間帯だったので、わかりやすく楽しむことができました。亀や多くの魚が泳ぐ姿が見えたそうです。
また、セスナや船が魚たちの魚槽に、意図的に沈めてありダイバーたちが潜っているのも見えたそうです。
小さな子供やお年寄りの方、海で日に焼けたくない方は、潜水艦などがおすすめです。せっかくのハワイなので、是非、魚たちの泳ぐ姿を見てください。
シュノーケリングやシーウオークを体験された方は、少し物足りないかもしれません。

I definitely had a great time, by far the BEST! Nice location with a spectacular view of the sunset, the nice green color of the famous Diamond Head, great dinner, and the entertainment was just awesome! You can’t ask for more.
Typical luau is on a buffet style dinner and sometimes you have to wait in a long line before you get your food but with Aha Aina, everything is conveniently served to your table, delicious appetizers, filling main entrée, and multiple choices of beverages. Their servers are fast too, very friendly and accommodating. I can only say good things as I totally enjoyed it! I'll be sure to go again.

This is far from any traditional luau experience where the typical and expected food and Polynesian show has been conceptualized to provide a very unique Hawaiian culinary and entertainment experience. The narrative is centered around history rather than mythology, unusual for a luau. They moved us indoors because they thought it was going to rain. The food was tasty and filling, service was good, show excellent and informative and the ambiance of this pink hotel was magic ... oh and it's open bar too!!!

I try to come to Hawaii as often as I can, and I have been to a lot of different luaus, and the Royal Hawaiian is without a doubt the best I have ever attended.
The food is utterly mouthwatering and they have the perfect combination of traditional and modern cuisine. I must say that the MC was great and had a fantastic way of intertwining stories about the food and the entertainment together. The dancing, singing and of course the fire knife dance just blew me away. So glad that I decided to do this!

This was my fifth time going to Hawaii, but it was my first time parasailing. The time spent in the air is about 10 minutes, but the motorboat moves quickly, and it's fun because you can also enjoy whale watching while you're on it. Up in the sky, the movement is slow, so from below, it looks like you're going quite high, but it's not scary at all. There was no shaking either. I want to do it again.
ハワイに行くのは5回目でしたが、パラセイリングは初めてでした。上空にいる時間は10分ぐらいですが、モーターボートは進むのが早く、ホエールウォッチングも兼ねて乗っていられるので楽しいです。空の上では進むのがゆっくりので、下から見ていると結構高くまで上がっているのですが、全く恐くありません。揺れもありませんでした。もう一度やりたいです。

I've lived in Waikiki for the last 5 years, a block from beach, and watched the para-sailers every day. It was always on my to do list but I never made the time. After finally doing it, I wish I had done it sooner! It's such a fun and beautiful experience. Not only do you get to parasail, you get the boat ride and the view of Waikiki from the ocean! We also saw whales jumping which was really the icing on the cake. Being able to float above Waikiki was scenic and peaceful and a rush, all at the same time. The crew is very talented and a make the experience fun as well. What an amazing feeling as you lift off the back of the boat and gently float up. A must do!

At a depth of 30 meters, I was able to see four turtles. I had some difficulty taking photos from inside the submarine, but since opportunities to ride a submarine are rare, I definitely think you should experience it! Even on the boat to the point where you transfer to the submarine, the deck on the second floor is refreshing, and if you're lucky, you might see a whale!

This is a new show being offered by the Royal Hawaiian. I had attended their old show several years ago and enjoyed it so much that I thought I would check out this one. I was not disappointed! This is a great show with a wonderful easy to follow storyline. The performers were extremely talented and appeared to truly be enjoying what they were doing. I should comment that this show is designed for a more adult/senior audience where the recommended dress is less casual and the menu is very extensive and in a more formal type dining atmosphere.

We went on our Honeymoon and this was one of the activities that we have done. If this is your first time surfing, don't fret. The staff are professional and they teach you all the basics. Opt for the private lessons because if you are tired from paddling, the instructor can help you back to the waves hence more opportunity for you to keep on practicing to get better. The photographer was great as well as he managed to capture some great photos and you can get them all in a disc which was nice. Highly recommended...
