It was very memorable. The guy who picked us up from our hotel was entertaining. He has a little pet love bird in his van. He let us hold it and take pics with it. Our guide on the boat was funny too. He took pics on my camera and his (for purchase). Very friendly staff.

Parasailing with X-treme Parasailing was a wonderful activity. I thought it would be scary, but in actuality it was a very relaxing experience that I'll never forget. If you listen to the instructions the crew give you, your ride up and back down will be smooth and comfortable. Once in the air, you will experience a wonderful peace as you float high above the water.
I would highly recommend this activity to a wide range of people. We had a 3rd grader and a 62 year old on our boat, and each of them LOVED their parasailing experience. The crew was fun and put every one who was a little nervous at ease with their years of experience and humorous comments. Tipping was optional, and in no way did the crew make me feel like I HAD to tip. I was, however, happy to tip them for the great job they did!

This was some the most fun we had experienced in Oahu, not only that, but it was fairly inexpensive. The staff was great, the views - unbeleivable and the experience - unforgettable. I would definitely recommend this for your trip to Oahu.. I'll definitely do this again!!!

The Luau was great, awesome views. The local food served was quite unique, but good. The only thing that I was questioning was the cost, I overheard other couples whom spent considerbly less than we did. Otherwise it was a great time.

We had booked a submarine tour for five family members, but on the day of the tour, the weather was bad, and we had to either cancel or reschedule. We were able to change it to another day at 9 AM. Even during the 9 AM slot, the commentary was in Japanese. The water was a bit murky, but we were able to see sea turtles, so we were satisfied.
家族5名でサブマリンツアーを予約していましたが、当日、天候が悪く、キャンセルか別の日へ変更ということになり、別の日の9時に変更していただきました。9時台でも日本語での解説でした。
ちょっと、水は濁ってはいましたが、ウミガメも見ることができたので、満足でした。

We had a great time on the boat, with the crue (they made us feel so comfortable and were on top of the situation - it was our first experience parasailing) and especially in the air.
We were flying above the Pacific Ocean :) This is one of the best things you could experience in your life.

I tried parasailing for the first time, and it was amazing, like flying in the sky! My sister and I participated together, and it felt like we were in our own world; the scenery was fantastic and wonderful. There was a service where you could take 24 photos for $15, and it seems like they capture pictures during the parasailing. I took motion sickness medicine beforehand, but I got seasick while waiting for others to finish parasailing, so the medicine is a must! I would love to try it again!
初めてパラセイルに挑戦しましたが、空を飛んでいるようで感動でした!!
妹と二人で参加しましたが、二人だけの世界のようで景色も最高で素晴らしかったです。
写真も24枚撮り$15でフィルムをくれるサービスがあり、パラセイル中の写真が収められているようです。
酔い止めを飲んで行きましたが、他の人のパラセイルを船で待っている間酔ってしまったので、酔い止めは必須です!!
またチャレンジしたいと思います☆★

I requested a pick-up, and I was surprised when I got into the car! Everyone except us was a foreigner. English was flying around in the car, and it seemed like everyone was having a great time. I, who am completely hopeless with English, was just staring blankly the whole time... But once it started, everyone got really excited, and it was a lot of fun. It was a very valuable experience. I wonder if only Japanese people pay tips?? I wasn't really sure about that...

We paid for the Deluxe package which is $20 more than the Standard package in order to go up to a higher height, and for 5 minutes more of flying (than the standard's 8 min). Well when we went out no matter what package you purchased, you only got 5 minutes in the air. TOTAL RIP OFF!! AND to top it off, by the end of the trip the 2 workers ASKED FOR $20 tips from everyone!! The actual flying was fun, but they should give you what you pay for.

This was the first activity we had planned on Oahu. The actual Parasailing time was wonderful!!! The time spent on the boat with the workers was horrible. To start they wanted us to pay them $15 to take pictures of us (even though the other people in our group were going to do it). When we declined their offer the crew made rude comments almost constantly during the boat ride. (Is he always this cheap? Must be they are saving their money for a sunny day!!! Not good Aloha.) The boat has writing all over it that, "Good karma starts with good tips" and "Tipping is WELCOME." There are $20bills taped all up the handrail as a "suggestion" on how much to tip. Don't forget the 3 times that the crew mentioned that we should not forget to tip them for their hard work! The time spent on the boat was very uncomfortable but parasailing was awesome. In the end I did tip them (only because I felt so uncomfortable) and I am still regretting it.

I tried surfing for the first time in my life, and it was really fun!! Before entering the ocean, there was a lesson on paddling at the shop, and then we moved to the sea. It was time for the real thing. The instructor was quite strict, but everyone was able to ride the waves, and we had a great time!!! It was a morning course, but after it ended, I went shopping and made the most of my day. I highly recommend it. However, the next day my arms were sore from the muscle strain, and I cut the soles of my feet on coral, which was tough.

The whole family took motion sickness medication, and off we went! As we anxiously peered into the sea from the slowly sinking submarine, small fish gradually appeared. Just when we were a bit worried that this was all we would see, a large creature swam by! It was a sea turtle! We couldn't take a photo in time, but we later saw three more sea turtles just floating there. We didn't see any sharks, but there were some!
I especially recommend this for elderly people who can't snorkel and for small children.
家族全員酔い止めも飲んで、いざ出発!
少しずつ沈む潜水艦にどきどきしながら、海をのぞいていると、小さな魚が少しずつ現れました。何だこれだけか~~とちょっと不安げだった私達の前に、海を泳ぐ大きな物体が!そう海がめ!あっというまで、写真は撮れなかったけど、その後も、じっとしている海がめは3頭も見ました。サメも泳いではいないけれど、いたいた!

I can go underwater exploring because I dive, but my parents and my little nephews and nieces cannot. So, I participated in the Atlantis Submarine. I was able to see more fish than I expected and even encountered a sea turtle. Additionally, we went to a really deep place, allowing me to experience an unknown world that diving alone wouldn't provide. I could also hear explanations in Japanese, and above all, it was an easy option for anyone to dive to the ocean floor. It was a really fun experience.

I participated in the 10 AM session on November 19. We departed from the meeting point on time and headed to the beach. From there, we boarded a boat and made our way to the submarine. The beauty of the blue sea viewed from the boat was so stunning that I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!" The moment the submarine surfaced with big bubbles was definitely worth seeing.
I chose a seat at the very back on the right side of the submarine. The explanations were in Japanese, but unfortunately, I couldn't hear the announcements from the lady speaking in front very well, possibly due to my position. However, the view of the seabed from the window was absolutely amazing, and I was deeply moved by the sight of fish and sea turtles swimming gracefully in the beautiful sea. It was also impressive to see the children sitting nearby getting so excited. I believe that no matter where you sit, you'll have an equally good view.
On the way back, we split into groups for those returning to the hotel and those wanting to go to Ala Moana Shopping Center, and they arranged cars for us. Additionally, for those going to Ala Moana, there was a very helpful service where a car would come every hour to take us back to Waikiki!
11月19日10時の回に参加しました。
時間通りに集合場所から出発し、ビーチへ。
そこから船に乗り、潜水艦へと向かいました。船上から見る海の青の美しさは思わず「きれ~」と声に出してしまう程です。ボコボコっと大きな泡が出てきて潜水艦が海上へ現われる瞬間は見る価値がありました。
潜水艦では私は右側一番後方の席に座ることに。
日本語の説明だったのですが、位置が悪かったのか前でお姉さんが話しているアナウンスがあまり聞こえなかったのが残念でした。
窓から見える海底の様子は本当に最高で、魚やウミガメが綺麗な海を気持ちよさそうに泳いでいる様子にとても感動して思わず窓にはりつきそうになりました。近くに座っていた子供さんが興奮しまくっていたのも印象的です。どこの場所に座っても平等にいい景色が見れると思います。
帰りは、ホテルに帰る人、アラモアナショッピングセンターに行きたい人と分かれて車を出してくださり、またアラモアナに行った人は1時間毎に迎えの車が来てワイキキまで送ってくれるというとってもありがたいサービスがありました!

First, I was taught how to paddle and stand in the shop. Although I could hardly understand Japanese, they taught me multiple times until I understood, so I didn't have any trouble at all.
When we started the lesson in the ocean, I was initially scared of the big rocks and coral and couldn't stand up, but I was able to ride the waves quickly once I calmed down. The coaches were really funny, and while we were waiting for the waves, they chatted a lot, which made it really enjoyable. They encouraged me many times, which motivated me to keep going even when my body was tired!
I definitely want to go again!
最初にショップの中でパドリングや立ち方を教えてもらいました。日本語がほとんど通じなかったのですが、理解できるまで何度も教えてくれたので、全然困らなかったです。
海でレッスンを開始して、最初は大きな岩やサンゴが怖くて立てなかったのですが、落ち着いてやればすぐに乗れるようになりました。コーチ達は本当に面白い人たちで、波を待っている間もいっぱいしゃべってくれてほんとに楽しかったし、何度も励ましてくれてやる気を起こさせてくれるので、体が疲れていても最後までがんばれました!

I was really satisfied because I had decided to do this when I went to Hawaii!
I chose the highest flying plan, and the view was so beautiful that I was moved.
I felt a bit nervous when I had to dip my bottom into the water, but if you don't want to get wet, it's good to let them know before you jump.
It was so much fun that it ended in no time!
I was fine, but I think those who are prone to motion sickness should definitely take some medicine before going!
Also, in addition to the tip, you can get photos taken for about $15, so it might be good to bring some extra money.
We only brought enough for the tip, so we couldn't get any photos... that was the only regret.
It will be a great memory, so I recommend trying it at least once!
ハワイに行ったら絶対やると決めていたのですごく満足でした!!
一番高く飛ぶプランにしたんですが、景色がすごくキレイで感動しました☆彡
水の中におしりをジャボンッと入れられる時はドキドキしたけど水につけられたくない人は飛ぶ前に確認してくれるのでちゃんと言った方が良いですよ♪
楽しくてあっという間に終わってしまいました(´∀`)
私は大丈夫でしたが、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを必ず飲んで行った方がいいと思います!
それとチップの他に$15(かな?)で写真を撮ってもらえるので、余分にお金を持っていったほうがいいかもしれません。
私達はチップ分しか持って行かなかったので写真を撮ってもらえませんでした…それだけが残念でした↓↓
良い思い出になるので一度試したほうがいいですよ☆

This submarine dive was awesome. It goes down about 120 feet and makes its way through two shipwrecks, a plane crash, U of Hawaii's artificial coral project... Not to mention all the fish and wildlife you see. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! However, do pay attention to the languages set for the time you go. But if you happen to get on a Japanese tour, there are headphones with English.

The day before the wedding in Hawaii, I participated with my parents and my partner's parents, a total of six people, to foster friendship.
We really enjoyed the activity!! Especially the blue sea seen from the boat on the way to the submarine! It was beautiful!! (You should definitely go up to the deck!!) Once on the submarine, we saw many fish, turtles, and sharks, and there were thorough explanations in Japanese, which made my parents happy.
If you understand a little English, I highly recommend trying the English explanations as well. They provide clear and interesting information! (When wearing headphones, you might hear other guests suddenly burst into laughter during the English explanations, which makes you curious about what's going on, haha!)
ハワイ挙式の前日、親睦も兼ねて両家両親・計6人で参加してきました。
アクティビティ自体は大変楽しむことが出来ました!!とくに潜水艦までいくまでの船からみる海の青さ!キレイ!!(絶対デッキにあがるべき!!)
潜水艦に乗ってからも魚や亀やサメなど沢山見え、日本語の説明もしっかりあり、親も喜んでいました。
また少し英語が分かる方は、英語の説明も是非トライしてみてください。分かりやすくいろんな話をしてくれます!(ヘッドホンをしていると、英語の説明を受けているお客さんが突然爆笑したりして ナニナニ?と気になります 笑)

I participated in a premium tour. This was my first time in Hawaii and my first activity, so I was a bit anxious about how the transportation would work, but I went to the pickup location. However, from the moment I got on the bus until I got off the return bus, there was a proper explanation (system) in place, which allowed me to participate with peace of mind.
Regarding the submarine, I felt there might be some variability depending on the direction you sit, but since it's a natural experience, I think that's unavoidable (actually, you can't choose as you are guided to one of the two entrances). Nonetheless, I was able to see many fish on the ocean floor that you normally wouldn't see, and I was impressed by the abundance and beauty of the fish.
プレミアムツアーに参加して来ました。
今回の参加が、初めてのハワイ、かつ初めてのアクティビティで、どのような形で送迎してもらえるのかも分からず、多少の不安を持ちつつピックアップ場所に行きました。
しかし、バスに乗る時から、帰りのバスを降りる時まで、きちんとした説明(システム)があり、安心して参加することが出来ました。
潜水艦については、乗る方向によって若干の当たり外れがあるようにも思いましたが、自然のものであり、止むを得ないと思います(というか、2箇所ある入り口のどちらかに案内されるので選べないですが)が、普通は見るのことのできない海底のたくさんの魚が見ることができ、魚の多さやきれいさに感動しました。

I really felt like I became a bird! My friend (who has a fear of heights) was able to observe from a boat, and I was worried about riding solo on the tandem, but a female staff member joined me, which made me feel at ease. It was great that I could participate in the parasailing experience with my friend. My friend fell in love at first sight with a Japanese male staff member who gave us a ride back to the hotel, and even after returning home, she keeps saying, "He was so cool!!!" Both my friend and I made wonderful memories.

- It's recommended because three people can fly together! You can enjoy a leisurely conversation while admiring the scenery up in the sky! The moment you take off is incredibly thrilling! ☆☆☆
- Digital camera photography is frowned upon by the staff... If you sit in a position that's easy to take photos, you might be moved. For $15, a staff member will take your pictures. You'll receive a 24-exposure film to develop back in Japan.
- Tips are collected separately, haha. "Please give us a tip~♪" they say... lol
- Inquiries are only in English, which is a bit concerning. However, as long as you don't get the bus stop wrong, you'll be fine! The person in charge of transportation is nice. Mike at the reception is very handsome. You can communicate easily with the staff on the boat! It's safe.
- Motion sickness. While everyone is flying, you have to wait on the boat. It can be quite intense. Please make sure to take motion sickness medication!
