All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

Since we participated as a pair, we had to pay for three people, but it was really fun in the end. There wasn't a Japanese instructor during our session, which was tough, but they gave instructions in Japanese while we were paddling. The next day, my arms were sore from the muscle pain, haha! I think I will join again if I have the chance!

２人での参加だったので、３人分支払いをしなければなりませんでしたが結果とても楽しかったです。私達の時は日本人のインストラクターはおらず大変でしたが漕いでる時は日本語で指示してくれます。
次の日腕が筋肉痛になりました笑
また機会があれば参加しようと思います！

It was a very enjoyable experience! The instructor spoke a little Japanese, so I understood the explanations. It was truly a great experience to view the stunning scenery of Hawaii from the sky over the ocean.

とても楽しい体験になりました！
インストラクターの方も少し日本語で話をしてくれたので説明もわかりました。ハワイの絶景を海の空から眺めるのは本当にいい体験でした。

I took a semi-private lesson. It was my first time surfing, but the instructor's explanations were clear and kind, making it a very enjoyable experience. I had a great time.

The staff at the shop running the school were also very friendly and approachable, which helped ease my initial nerves and allowed me to fully engage in the lesson. Additionally, thanks to the optional photo service, I was able to preserve my memories in a tangible way, so I’m glad I added that!

I would love to participate again! Thank you very much for this experience.

セミプライベートのレッスンを利用しました。
サーフィンは初めてでしたが、インストラクターの方の説明もわかりやすく親切で、とても楽しく参加することができました。
とてもいい経験をさせていただきました。

スクールを運営されているショップの方も、とても親しみやすく話しやすい雰囲気だったので、最初の緊張もすぐに解けてレッスンに臨むことができました。
また、オプションの写真のサービスのおかげで、思い出を形として残すことができたので、追加してよかったです♪

また参加したいです！
この度はどうもありがとうございました。

My wife and I, along with our daughter and her husband, participated with our three grandchildren. The grandchildren had a great time, and we were very satisfied! The captain and crew were very friendly and made the experience enjoyable.

私達夫婦と娘夫婦と孫3人で参加しました。
孫達がとても楽しんでくれて大満足です！
キャプテン・クルーの方達もとても気さくな方達で楽しませてくれました。

Had a great experience! Was able to contact the Vendor and reschedule time with no hassle. Option of dry or wet landing!
They take excellent pictures for an additional fee but they are worth buying!

Family members not flying, can purchase as an observer and follow along to watch.

Close to Waikiki, easy walk or commute to their location.

Seeing Diamond Head from the sky was amazing. The surprise when coming down was also fun. I had experienced parasailing in Okinawa, so I thought I wouldn't need motion sickness medication, but the waves in the open sea were intense, and I wished I had taken some.

空から見るダイヤモンドヘッドは最高でした。降りてくる時のサプライズも楽しかったです。
沖縄でもパラセーリングは体験していたので、酔い止めは不要だと思っていたのですが、外海での波のうねり凄くて酔い止め飲めば良かったなと思いました。

I read reviews saying that not many Japanese people participated, and indeed, we were the only Japanese there. It was all in English, but the staff were cheerful and occasionally chatted with us, creating a very pleasant atmosphere. We were able to see the vast ocean from the opposite side of Diamond Head and enjoyed watching sea turtles swim, which made for a really fun experience. The 1 hour and 30 minutes duration was just right, ending before we got bored.

日本人はあまり参加してないとの口コミでしたが、やはり日本人は私たちだけでした。英語のみでしたが、スタッフの人は陽気で時々話しかけてくれたりして雰囲気はとても良かったです。ダイヤモンドヘッドの反対側を大海原から見れたり、ウミガメが泳ぐ姿を見ることができてとても楽しく過ごすことができました。1時間30分との時間も飽きる前に終了するのでちょうど良かったです。

Parasailing was a lot of fun, and it was great that they let us drive the boat and fly as a family of four. However, I requested photos for $40, and in the end, the data transfer to my smartphone didn't go well, so I received an SD card instead. Unfortunately, the SD card has an error, and I can't check the data at the moment. It's really disappointing not to have any photos from such a fun experience. Since I was returning home the next morning, there was nothing more I could do, and I had to go back. I'm really sad about it...

パラセーリングはとても楽しくて、ボートを運転させてくれたり、４人家族で飛ばせてくれたりと最高だったのですが、、、
写真を40ドルでお願いし、最後スマホへデータ移行がうまくいかず、SDカードをもらいました。しかし、SDカードエラーになってしまい、今のところデータが確認できていません。とても楽しかった体験なだけに、写真が残らないのが残念でなりません。
翌日朝から帰国だったので、もうどうすることも出来ず帰国しました。
悲しいです。。

I felt better than I imagined, and I want to ride again. Thank you very much. I was scared at first, but it was okay.

想像以上に気分が良くなりました、また乗りたいです。ありがとうございました。最初は怖かったですが大丈夫でした

We participated as a family of five adults. Riding the wind and the waves, we encountered sea turtles, making it an unforgettable experience in Hawaii.

成人の家族五人で参加。風に乗り波に乗り、ウミガメにも出会え、ハワイでの忘れられない体験となりました。

Unlike surfing, it's easy to ride the waves. Everyone paddles together to row out to the sea. It was March, but it wasn't cold and was quite comfortable. I was able to ride the waves about three times, and it felt great. The reception was very accommodating and reassuring. On rainy days, they notify you via LINE call on the morning of the reservation, and they were able to handle postponements on the spot.

サーフィンとは違い簡単に波乗り出来ます。パドルで全員協力して沖まで漕ぎます。3月でしたが寒くもなく快適でした。3回程波に乗れました、気持ち良いですよ。受付はとても対応よく、安心。雨の日の予約は当日朝にLINE電話にてお知らせあり、その場で延期対応頂けました。

The scenery was very beautiful, and I was satisfied with the experience. Even with good weather, the boat sways quite a bit. I think it would be better to have some motion sickness medication.

景色がとてもよく体験できて満足です。天候が良くても船はかなり揺れます。酔い止めがあったほうがいいのかなと思います。

The two brothers from the crew were very friendly and accommodating. They took a lot of great photos for us, capturing us with the air and Diamond Head in the background.

クルーの２兄弟がフランクな対応をしてくれる。写真もたくさん撮ってくれたいい思いです。エアーやダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに撮影してくれている。

It was a very good experience, but it was the scariest thing I've ever done in my life, haha. I'll write the key points and details!

【Key Points】
- Motion sickness medication is a must.
- It’s cold and wet on the boat, so wear a swimsuit with a long-sleeve cover-up, and bring a towel to dry off and a change of clothes.
- A waterproof case to hang around your neck to protect your smartphone from water is essential.
- Your hair and face will get messy on the boat, so give up on your appearance.
- It’s scary on the boat, but you can handle the slow ascent when flying.

【Details】
The meeting place was right next to a small lake at the Hilton Hotel called Hilton Lagoon. I was able to take a taxi close by, but after getting out at the Hilton entrance, I walked towards the area with lots of yachts in Hilton Lagoon and found it right away!

First, you sign a consent form and then immediately get on the boat. When I went, we weren’t allowed to wear life jackets until just before putting on the parachute (we weren’t wearing life jackets on the boat), and that situation was really scary, haha. We did get to wear life jackets when it was time to fly, though.

I’m prone to motion sickness, but I underestimated it that day and forgot to take my motion sickness medication, so I got really seasick and ended up throwing up in the sea towards the end, haha.

When I went, we took a pretty fast small boat out for about 15-20 minutes before flying. We were quite far from the shore, to the point where I couldn’t see any palm trees, hotels, or buildings. The view from the boat was of the vast ocean, but once we flew, I could see Diamond Head and the beach in the distance, which was beautiful.

Flying wasn’t too scary. The ascent and descent were slow, so I didn’t feel my stomach drop at all! The height was quite high (the boats looked very small from above), which was pretty scary for someone with a fear of heights, haha.

However, if you prepare yourself mentally and think, "This is scary!" I think it can be quite fun, and I was satisfied to see views that you can’t see unless you do it!

とても良い体験でしたが、人生で1番怖かったです笑 要点と詳細を書きます！
【要点】
・酔い止め必須
・船の上寒いし濡れるので、水着＋長袖羽織で参加し、濡れた体を拭くタオルと着替え必須。
・スマホを水から守る首にかける防水ケース必須。
・髪も顔も船の上でめちゃくちゃになるのでビジュアルは諦める。
・船の上が怖くて、飛ぶのはゆっくりなのでいける。
【詳細】
集合場所は、ヒルトン・ラグーンというヒルトンホテルの小さい湖みたいなところの真横にありました。タクシーで近くまで行けましたが、ヒルトンのエントランスでタクシーを降りて、そこからヒルトン・ラグーンの中をヨットがたくさんある方へ歩くとすぐ見つけられました！
最初に同意書にサインして、すぐ船に乗ります。私の時はパラシュートを付ける直前までライフジャケットは着せて貰えず(船の上ライフジャケット着てなかった)、その状況がとても怖かったです笑。飛ぶときはライフジャケット着せて貰えましたが。
私は酔いやすいのですが、当日甘く見ていて、酔い止めを飲むのを忘れていて、めちゃくちゃ船酔いして最後の方海にゲロってしまいました笑
私のときは、結構スピードの速い小舟で15～20分くらい沖に行ってから飛びました。岸からかなり離れて、ヤシの木やホテルやビルなどは全く目視できない距離感です。船の上の景色は大海原でしたが、飛んでみるとダイヤモンドヘッドや遠くにビーチが見えて綺麗でした。
飛ぶのはあまり怖くなかったです。ゆっくりと上昇し下降もゆっくりなので、内蔵が浮くとかは全くなかったです！高さはかなり高く(上空からの船はとっても小さく見えた)、高所恐怖症には結構怖かった笑
でも、怖い！と心構えをして行けば、結構楽しいと思いますし、実際、やらないと見れない景色が見れて満足しました！

It was a refreshing experience that you can't have anywhere else! The two staff members also entertained us, making it a very enjoyable time!

他にはできない体験で爽快感がありました！スタッフのおふたりも楽しませてくれてとても楽しい時間になりました！

We really had a good time. As the person in the very front, I got pretty wet, but the water was not cold at all. It was awesome seeing Waikiki from a surfer’s perspective.

The upbeat background music was blasting as we sped out to sea on a rocking boat, wearing safety jackets, and before we knew it, we took off into the sky. It felt like flying, and the view was amazing! But in the next moment, I wanted to return quickly. The time felt long.

ノリの良いBGMが爆音でかかっていてハイスピードで沖に出て揺れの激しい船内でセーフジャケット着用してあっという間に空へ飛び立ちました。空を飛んでいるみたいで景色も最高でした！
でも次の瞬間早く戻りたい。時間が長く感じました。

It was fun! The staff was lively, and not only was the parasailing itself enjoyable, but the journey there was fun too! Even getting seasick is a good memory, haha!

楽しかったです！
スタッフさんもノリノリでパラセーリング自体はもちろん移動中も楽しかったです！！
船酔いもいい思い出です笑

What a rush !!! Excellent excursion!!
Closest thing to being in a surfboard.
Guide excelled at giving understandable directions.

The cheerful staff keeps you entertained. Although it's in English, they are accustomed to Japanese people and explain things with gestures, so there are no problems. The parasailing itself is fantastic. If I have the chance, I would like to do it again next time.

It's fine to bring bags like backpacks. You can store your belongings and sandals in the space under the seats, so they won't get wet. Of course, managing valuables is each person's responsibility. I think the photo option will be added unless you decline it. This time, I participated with three people, and one stayed on the boat, so taking photos with my smartphone was sufficient. With a smartphone, you can also take videos, and if one person is staying on the boat, I think the photo option isn't necessary. However, if there isn't anyone to take photos from the boat, it would be better to opt for it.

The boat rocked, but I didn't get seasick. It might have been influenced by the fact that there were only two groups participating and it was a short time.

陽気なスタッフが楽しませてくれます。英語ですけど、日本人に慣れていて身振り手振りで説明をしてくれるので問題ありません。パラセーリング自体は最高です。機会があれば次回もやりたいと思っています。

リュックなど荷物を持ち込んでも大丈夫です。腰掛け下のスペースに荷物やサンダルなどを入れて保管しますので水には濡れません。もちろん貴重品は各自の責任での管理となります。写真撮影のオプションは断らない限りつけられてしまうと思います。今回、私は3人名での参加で1名が船に残っている状況でしたので、スマホでの撮影で事足りました。スマホだと動画も撮れるし1名が船に残っているのであれば、写真オプションはなくても良いと思います。もし船から撮影してくれる人がいないのであれば、オプションつけた方が良いです。
船は揺れましたが船酔いはしなかったです。2組の参加で短時間であったということも影響したかもしれませんが。

My wife wanted to try it, so even though I have a fear of heights, I decided to participate. There were about ten other participants at the same time. We flew in pairs or threes, but since we were last in line, we had time to mentally prepare ourselves. I think each group flew for about seven minutes. When we actually took off, it was scary, but the view of Hawaii from the sky was breathtaking.

You can bring your phone while flying, but I didn't have much opportunity to take pictures. You can also purchase photos taken from the boat, or ask other participants to take pictures for you. The photos you buy are often taken with professional cameras, and they turned out well, so I recommend purchasing some as a keepsake.

一緒に行った妻がやってみたいとのことで、私は高所恐怖症でしたが参加することに。参加した時間は他にも参加者が多く10人くらいとなりました。2人もしくは3人で飛んでいましたが、自分達は順番が最後だったので心の準備をする時間がありました。1グループ7分程度空を飛んでいたと思います。実際に飛ぶと怖いのは怖いですが、空からのみたハワイの景色は絶景でした。
携帯も持って飛べますが、自分はあまり写真を撮る余裕はありませんでした。船からの写真は購入もできますし、他の参加者にお願いして撮ってもらうこともできます。購入した写真は本格的なカメラで撮ってもらえることもあり、写りはよかったので思い出に写真購入することをおすすめします。

This was a bucket list trip sister trip! The crew was great and a lot of fun! They were able to get us on the fish and was very exciting. The most disappointing part was that this was very misleading in the experience listing. We intentionally chose a trip with a high fish take home and brought coolers. The listing stated
-The captain and crew will filet and clean any caught fish at the end of the trip and bag it for quests, but any single fish over 100 lbs will stay with the boat unless otherwise agreed upon.

We caught 3 fish all 34 lbs or less and we each only came home with 5lbs of fish.
We asked the captain about this and was told that that's not how it was done. We felt very misled and would have chosen a different charter had We have known.
Was a bummer ending to a fun day and came home empty handed.

I heard that we would rise to 150 meters above the ground, and I was very scared, but being in the air was very meaningful, and there was no shaking, so I enjoyed it. However, I experienced the worst seasickness ever while on the boat before taking off. I knew that a certain speed was necessary for flying, and I took motion sickness medication, but it didn't help. Others were also feeling unwell and had to sit down, so I think once in a lifetime is enough for me.

地上から150mまで上がると聞いてとても怖かったのですが、空中はとても有意義で揺れもなく楽しめました。が、飛ぶまでの船内で過去一船酔いしました。飛ぶのにそれ相応の速度が必要なのは承知しており、私は酔い止めを飲みましたがダメでした。他の方も体調不良でダウンしており、人生で1度乗れば十分かなと思いました。

I intended to do some small fish fishing, but I ended up catching a Spanish mackerel while trolling during the move!

After that, I continued fishing for small fish and was quite satisfied!

I participated with a light heart, and it was really great!

I don't understand Japanese at all.

小物釣りのつもりが移動中のトローリングでサワラカマスがヒット！

その後本来の小物釣りでも適当に釣り続けて満足でした！

軽い気持ちで参加しましたがとても良かったです！

日本語は全く通じません

It's about an hour, but you can relax by drinking some beverages, eating snacks, and enjoying the sea breeze.

1時間程度の時間ですが、
ドリンクを飲んだり、スナックを食べたり
潮風を浴びたりとゆっくりすることができます

There was a bit of cloudiness, but thanks to the captain and the curly-haired brother, I had a great time! I definitely want to participate again when I come to Hawaii next time!

少し曇りもありましたがキャプテンとチリチリ頭のお兄さんのおかげでとても楽しむことができました！
次回またハワイにきたら絶対参加したいです！

The crew was a kind and handsome pair of brothers. The boat was fast, and there were several thrilling moments that made my stomach drop. Parasailing was simply delightful! Once the harness was secured, we floated up, and my daughter exclaimed, "It feels just like Soarin'!" It truly was an extravagantly real Soarin' experience.

Before taking off, they checked if it was okay to get wet in the sea, and after I answered "OK," we were splashed down to our waists twice in a grand manner. The landing was also soft and well-executed.

After disembarking, you can decide whether to purchase the photos after checking the images on a PC. They also transferred the data directly to our smartphones and provided an SD card as well.

クルーは親切なイケメン兄弟でした。
船は速くて、胃が浮くようなスリリングな揺れが何度か。
パラセーリングは、ただただ気持ちよかったです！ハーネスをつなぐとスーッと浮き上がって、娘が、ソアリンみたいー！と叫んでいて、確かに贅沢すぎるリアルソアリンでした。
飛ぶ前に海に浸かって大丈夫か確認があり、OKと答えたら、豪快に２回腰まで浸かりました。着地もフワッと上手でした。
写真は下船後、PCで画像を確認してから購入するか決められます。データはその場でスマホに落として、SDカードでも渡してくれました。

運良く、天候に恵まれて楽しむことができました。英語ができた方が意思が伝えられるので良いです。着地では少し水に濡れてOKと伝えて、楽しむことができました。

On the last day in Hawaii, I was looking for an easy activity that I could do in a limited amount of time, and I found availability here. Despite making a reservation on the morning of the same day, the process went very smoothly, which was great. The reception location was a bit hard to find, but there was a van with the company name on it as a landmark. There were two young women at the reception (one of whom was fluent in Japanese), and the crew consisted of two young men who spoke English, but there were no communication issues. The ride to the spot felt like a fast cruise, which was enjoyable in itself. I had some slight anxiety about how the landing would go during the parasailing, but it was operated very skillfully, and I naturally landed behind the boat. It was a truly valuable experience.

ハワイの最終日を前に、なにか手軽に限られた時間でできるアクティビティがないかと探していたところ、こちらに空きがありました。当日の午前中に予約したにもかかわらず、大変スムーズに手続ができ良かったです。受付場所はややわかりにくかったですが、社名の入ったバンが止まっているのが目印です。受付は若い女性２名（1名は日本語堪能）、クルーは若い男性２名で英語でしたが、コミュニケーションに問題はなかったです。スポットに着くまでは高速でのクルーズという感じでそれ自体が楽しかった。パラセイリングも、着地する際はどうするのかななど若干不安がありましたが、非常に上手に操作されて、自然とボートの後ろに着陸するようになってました。大変貴重な体験ができました。

On the day of the event, I was worried because the wind was strong, but it seems that the staff's response was good, and my daughters had a great time. Unfortunately, even after taking motion sickness medication, I still got sick, which was disappointing. I can't help my condition, though...💦

当日は風が強く、大丈夫かなって不安はありましたが、スタッフの方の対応も良くかったみたいで娘たちは楽しい時間を過ごしました。酔い止めを飲んでも酔ってしまったので、そこが残念でした。体調はしょうがないのですが…💦
