All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

The driver for the shuttle and the captain of the boat were both very funny and kind. The 120-meter aerial flight was truly pleasant and went by in a flash. (That said, I think we were flying for a decent amount of time.) The boat rocked more than I expected, and although I usually don’t get motion sickness, I ended up feeling quite groggy by the end, so I think it’s safer to bring motion sickness medication.

Basically, you shouldn’t get wet, but many people wore swimsuits and had hoodies or t-shirts on top while paragliding. They were selling an SD card with the flying data for $30, but since you can also take pictures with other groups, I think it would have been better to have two cards—one for aerial shots and one for ground shots.

送迎の運転手さんも船のキャプテンもとても面白く親切でした。
120Mの空中飛行は本当に気持ちよくて、あっというまでした。（とはいえそこそこの時間飛んでいたと思います）
船が想像以上に揺れて普段乗り物酔いしないのですが最後はけっこうグロッキーになってしまったので酔い止めは持っていたほうが安全だと思います。
基本的に濡れないと思いますが、水着を着用して、上からパーカーやTシャツを着てそのままパラセイリングしている人が多かったです。
写真は＄30で飛んでいるデータが入ったSDカードを販売もしていましたが、ほかのグループの人たちと撮りあいっこもできるので、空中からと地上からお願い用と2つ持っていけばよかったと思いました。

The hotel sent a trolley to pick us up (10 minutes earlier than the scheduled time). Once we boarded, we were instructed to sign a consent form right away. When we arrived at the reception and showed our voucher, we received our tickets.

The only other passengers on the same boat were a pair of girls, a group of three men and one woman, and a mother with a boy who looked to be in elementary school; we were the only Japanese people.

We set off a little way out to sea. It was quite rocky, but since I had taken motion sickness medication 30 minutes prior, I had no issues at all. We jumped two at a time. Without standing up, we shifted slightly in our seats, and when it was our turn, we were fitted with harnesses and life jackets and moved to the back of the boat.

We were cautioned not to stretch our legs while flying. As we gradually ascended, it felt more like being on a swing, so it wasn't very scary. Instead, I was captivated by the deep blue of the sea and the beautiful scenery.

The instructions mentioned that if we wanted the staff to take photos, we should ask, but I missed the timing and didn't get to request it (there was no pressure to buy). I hoped for a dry landing, but I ended up getting quite wet.

Although it was a tour my husband wanted to participate in, I’m glad I took the challenge.

ホテルにはトロリーが迎えに来てくれました。（時間よりも10分早かったです。）
乗車するとすぐに同意書にサインするようにとのことでした。
受付に着いてバウチャーを見せるとチケットをもらいました。
同じ船に乗ったのは2人組の女の子、男3女1のグループ、お母さんと小学生くらいの男の子で、日本人は私たちだけでした。
船に乗って少し沖に出ました。結構揺れましたが、30分前に酔い止めを飲んでいたので、全く問題ありませんでした。
1度に2人ずつ飛びました。立ち上がらずに座ったまま少しずつずれて、私たちの番になるとハーネスとライフジャケットをつけてもらい、船の後方に移動しました。
飛んでいるときは足を伸ばさないようにと注意されました。
少しずつ高くなっていくので、ブランコに乗っているようであまり怖くありませんでした。
それよりも海の青さと景色のよさに目を奪われました。
写真をスタッフに取ってほしい場合は言うようにと説明書に書いてありましたが、タイミングがわからずに頼みそびれてしまいました。（＝押し売りはありません。）
ドライランディングを希望しましたが、結構濡れました。
夫の希望で参加したツアーでしたが、チャレンジしてみてよかったです。

It was my second time parasailing, but since there was quite a gap since the last time, I was a bit nervous while waiting. Floating in the sky while looking at the sea is such a great feeling. It goes quite high, so looking down at the ocean was a little scary.

２度目のパラセーリングでしたが、前回とだいぶ間があいたので待っている間緊張していました。海を眺めながら空に浮いているのがとても快感です。かなり高いところまであがるので海を見ているとちょっと怖かったです。

It was very pleasant!
The pick-up was delayed by 30 minutes, and we received a call from the hotel.
The staff primarily spoke English, but they communicated the basics in Japanese.
In our group, there were no other Japanese people, and everyone was having a great time speaking in English.
I forgot to take motion sickness medication, but I thought I could manage. However, it was really bumpy, and I got quite nauseous...
For those who are sensitive, it's best to sit at the back. And definitely take motion sickness medication (laughs).

とっても気持ちよかった！
pick upは30分遅れてホテルから連絡をしてもらいました。
スタッフの方たちの説明は基本英語。最低限のことは日本語で話してくれます。
私たちの回は私たち以外日本人はおらず皆さんで英語で盛り上がってました。楽しそうだった。
酔い止めを忘れてしまったけれども　何とかなるだろうとおもっていましたが
すっごい揺れでかなり酔いました。。。
弱い方はとりあえず後方に乗りましょう。そして酔い止めは飲みましょう（苦笑）

It was fun. However, the wind was strong, and the boat rocked quite a bit, so those who are prone to seasickness might want to take motion sickness medication in advance... A friend of mine ended up throwing up along the way.

When we landed, the person in front of me was fine with their feet touching the ground, so I kept my glasses on, but I ended up getting splashed with seawater and lost my glasses. (It's better to take off your glasses.)

Seeing Diamond Head from the sky was a wonderful memory of Hawaii.

楽しかったです。ただ、風が強く、結構船が揺れたので、船に酔いやすい人は事前に酔い止めを服用しておいたほうがいいかも・・・・。友人は途中で吐いてしまいました。
着地のとき、前の人は足がつかるくらいだったので大丈夫と、メガネ着用のまましたのですが、頭から海水かぶって、メガネさらわれてしまいました。（メガネははずしたほうがいいですね）
空から見るダイアモンドヘッド。楽しいハワイの思い出です。

The distance from Waikiki is almost negligible, and the location is near Hilton Village.

It felt really good! The photo opportunity was also great! We definitely couldn't have taken those ourselves.

Since the location is close, if there’s a discount without transportation, that might be fine too.

This is definitely something you should do!

ワイキキからの異動距離もほぼなく、
場所はヒルトン村の近くです。

とにかく気持ち良かった！
写真のOPもGOOD！
自分達じゃ絶対取れないしね。

場所が近いから送迎なしで
割引あるならそれでもいいかも。

これは絶対やったほうがよい！

While flying in the sky, I was able to go parasailing in a truly beautiful miracle, surrounded by a stunning turquoise blue sea and a beautiful sky that spread out before me, as if I were watching a composite image. I was very moved.♡

空を飛んでる時、ターコイズブルーのきれいな海と、綺麗な空が一面に広がって、合成映像をみているかのような、本当に綺麗な奇跡の中をパラセーリングすることができてとても感動しました♡

Parasailing was my first experience, and even though I can't speak English, it was not difficult at all and I had a lot of fun. The view from the sky was amazing. It was 150 meters high, but I couldn't really tell how high it was while flying. Before taking off, the guide asked if I wanted to take pictures. I hesitated for a moment at $30, but I'm glad I asked for it! They took a lot of pictures while we were flying, including some of the scenery, which made for great memories.

パラセイリングは初めてで英語も話せませんが、難しいことは何もなくとても楽しめました。
空から見る景色は素晴らしかったです。
１５０メートルでしたが高さについては飛んでいるとよくわかりませんでした。
飛び立つ前にガイドの方が写真をとるか尋ねてこられました。
＄30で一瞬迷いましたがお願いしてよかったです笑
飛んでいる最中の写真をたくさんとってもらえ景色の写真もあり、いい思い出になりました。

Waving goodbye to the gradually shrinking boat, I felt like I had the views of Waikiki, the sky, and the sea all to myself—it was the best! In the end, I had a charming little splash landing on my backside, which made me feel like a bird, and I was completely satisfied. The lovely broken English guide from the driver who picked us up was also enjoyable.

段々と小さくなるボートに手を振りながらワイキキの景色も空も海もひとりじめした気分で最高でした
最後はお尻だけチャプンと着水のご愛嬌も鳥になった気分で大満足
お迎えのドライバーさんのステキな片言ガイドも楽しかった

I was a little scared when taking off from the boat, but once in the air, it felt great with hardly any turbulence! When landing, they lowered us down to just above the water's surface (on purpose?) before bringing us back to the boat, which was thrilling and fun! One thing I regret is not asking the staff to take pictures, so I don't have any photos from the flight. They are very considerate and don't take photos and sell them without asking, so it seems you need to request it. If you want pictures, it's best to ask in advance! Still, it was a lot of fun, so I highly recommend it!

船から飛び立つ時は少し怖かったですが上空では揺れもあまりなくて気持ちが良かったです！降りる時は（わざと？）海面に足が触れるくらいまで下げてから船に降ろしてくれるのも迫力があって楽しかったです！1つ残念だったのが写真をスタッフの方にお願いしそびれて飛んでいる時の写真が無かったこと。良心的で勝手に写真を撮って売りつける様な事はしないので、お願いしないと撮ってくれないみたいです（苦笑）写真がほしい方は事前にお願いした方が良いですよ！それでもとても楽しかったのでおすすめです♪

First of all, a pickup came to the trolley stop near the hotel, making it easy to get around, and they also dropped us back at the hotel. It was my first experience with parasailing, and I felt a bit anxious at first, but once I was up in the air, all my worries disappeared. The view from above was incredibly beautiful, and the wind while being pulled by the boat was amazing. I could see Waikiki, downtown, and Diamond Head all at once, and the feeling of having that stunning view all to myself was truly luxurious! The parasailing lasted about 10 minutes, and there were two handsome guys on the boat who made the atmosphere really fun, which made it a great experience. They also took photos during the parasailing and on the boat, and although it cost $30, I was able to capture those wonderful memories. This experience made me want to try various water activities like parasailing again when I come back to Hawaii! Thank you very much!

まずは、ホテル近くのトローリー乗り場までお迎えが来てくれたので、簡単に移動ができ、帰りもホテルまで送ってくれました。パラセーリングの経験は初めてで、最初は不安な気持ちもありましたが、いざ自分が上空へ行ってみると不安だった気持ちは全くなくなりました。上空からの景色はとても綺麗で船に引っ張られながら感じる風は最高でした。また、景色はワイキキやダウンタウン、ダイヤモンドヘッドまでが一望でき、完全に独り占め状態の景色はすごく豪華なものでした！！約10分くらいのパラセーリングですが、船の上ではイケメン2人が楽しく雰囲気を盛り上げてくれ、とても楽しかったです。また、パラセーリング中や船の上での写真も撮ってくれ、30ドルのお金はかかるものの、楽しい思い出を形に残すこともできました。次にハワイへ来た時にもパラセーリングなどの海でのアクティビティーをいろいろとしたくなるような体験ができました！！ありがとうございました！！

On this day in Honolulu, the weather was quite changeable, with sunshine, clouds, and rain throughout the day. Just as we were about to board the catamaran, the skies began to look ominous, but on the water, there was a refreshing breeze and slightly larger waves, making for a fun sailing experience as we occasionally got splashed by the waves.

This time, we were the only Japanese tourists, and the explanations were, of course, in English. Even though we arrived at the meeting point on time, there was no catamaran...

I had been at the Sheraton Hotel the day before and had seen the boat docked, so I was confident that I was at the right meeting point, but I started to feel a bit anxious. Since I couldn't speak English, I showed the voucher at the counter and pointed to the time, and they informed me that the time had been changed.

I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful sea, sky, the city of Waikiki, and Diamond Head all at once. I will participate again next time.

この日のホノルルは、晴れたり、曇ったり、雨に降られたりのコロコロ天気が変わる一日で、丁度カタマラン号に乗る頃、雲行きが怪しくなったのですが、海上は爽やかな風とちょっと大きめの波で、時々波しぶきを浴びながらの楽しいセーリングでした。

今回、日本人観光客は私たちだけ、説明は当然英語・・
集合場所に時間通り行ってもカタマラン号は無く・・

前日にたまたまシェラトンホテルにいて、停泊を見ていたので集合場所は間違いないと確信していたのですが、少し不安になりました。
英語がしゃべれないのでカウンターでバウチャーを見せ、時間の所を指さしていると時間を書き換えて変更になった事を教えてくれました。

綺麗な海と空とワイキキの街そしてダイヤモンドヘット、
ハワイの良さを一度に満喫出来ました。
次回また参加します。

I went parasailing yesterday! It was my second time in two years, and the height was thrilling and fun. The crew was also very lively!

However, they were 20 minutes late picking us up, and we had to wait about 30 minutes after arriving.

So, if you want to book another activity or restaurant next time, I think it's best to allow for some extra time.

昨日パラセーリングしてきました！
2年振り2回目ということで高さもあり楽しかったです。
クルーの方もノリが良かったです！

しかし、迎えに来るのが20分遅かったり、着いてからも30分くらい待ちました。

なので、次に別のアクティビティーやレストランを予約したい場合は、ある程度余裕を持った方がいいと思います。

This was an amazing experience!! It was my first time para-sailing and it was awesome!! If you haven't tried it, I tell you, go for it!! :) I loved it!!

I had a great time during the first session. They spoke a little Japanese and understood me, which was nice. I definitely want to do it again! ♪

1回目で立てたしすごく楽しかったです
日本語も片言で話してくれるし理解してくれるのでよかったです
是非またやりたいです♪

This parasail experience was great from start to finish. They picked us up at our hotel promptly, our driver was very fun and knowledgeable about the island. Parasailing gives you just the right amount of adrenaline and once you're up there it's so relaxing. I got to go twice! And next time I visit Hawaii I will definitely do it again! Once we were done we got our pictures and crossed the street to the beach :)

There is a pickup service from Waikiki Beach.
After checking in, you board the boat, listen to the instructor's explanation, and put on your life jacket.
As you rise quickly, the ocean spreads out below you!
If you don't want to get wet, you can return without getting wet.
It was so much fun and went by in no time!

ワイキキビーチから送迎あり。
受付をして船に乗り、インストラクターの説明を聞き、ライフジャケット着用。
一気に上がると下は一面海！
水に濡れたくないといえば、濡れずに戻ってこられます。
すごく楽しくてあっという間でした！

I have a slight fear of heights, and I was quite nervous before getting on. However, the cool instructor explained everything carefully, which made me feel a bit more at ease. The explanation was in English, but there were parts that were easy to understand in Japanese.

The day of the experience was relatively windy, but the boat didn't sway much. After putting on the gear, I scooted to the back of the boat, and we were all set! Once we lifted off, it surprisingly wasn't that scary, and I was able to enjoy the view!

While we were up there, I felt like a bird♪ Since we went up in pairs, it’s perfect for couples! You can see the high-rise buildings of the hotel district all the way to Diamond Head, and the blue horizon and sky were absolutely beautiful!

At times, there was a little trick where my feet would touch the sea, but it actually felt nice♪ If you don’t want to get wet, just let them know before you go up, and they’ll make sure you stay dry from start to finish.

I didn’t have the courage to let go, so I left my waterproof camera on the boat, but I regretted a bit that I could have taken pictures when we were up there... (laughs) The instructor took photos with a zoom lens, and there’s also an option to have a video taken. Both require an additional fee to receive the data. While waiting on the boat, I wasn’t bored at all; I watched the experiences of other participants and enjoyed the scenery.

Overall, it was a very satisfying program!

プチ高所恐怖症で、乗る前は結構ドキドキしていました。ですが、インストラクターのかっこいいお兄さんに丁寧に説明してもらい、ちょっと安心。説明は英語でしたが、ところどころ日本語で分かりやすかったです。
体験した日は比較的、風が強い日でしたが、ボートはそんなに揺れませんでした。装備を装着し、ボートの後ろの方へ座りながらずりずり移動し、準備万端！ふわっと上がって、上がってしまったら意外に怖くなく、景色も楽しめました！
上がっている間は鳥になった気分♪ペアで上がるのでカップルにはぴったりですよ！ホテルの高い建物が並ぶビル群からダイヤモンドヘッドまでが一望でき、青く広がる水平線と空がとてもキレイでした！
時々、足が海につかるイタズラ?をされましたが、それすら気持ちいい♪濡れたくない人は上がる前に言っておけば、始めから最後まで濡れないようにしてくれます。
私は手を離す勇気がなかったので、防水のカメラをボートにおいて体験しましたが、上がった時に頑張れば写真撮れたな···とちょっと後悔(笑)インストラクターのお兄さんが望遠で写真撮ってくれますし、さらにオプションでビデオも撮れます。どちらもデータをもらうのに別料金が必要ですが。ボートで待っている間も、他の参加者の体験見たり、景色を眺めたりで退屈しませんでした。
こんな感じで、体験して大満足のプログラムでした！

There were about 20 passengers on board, but only three of us were Japanese. My mother, who is 85 years old, enjoyed it. We were able to see a whale for a little while. As we went further out, the emerald green water turned into deep blue! My mother was also moved by it. You really get to feel Hawaii more than on the night cruise. The price is also much cheaper. It's about an hour and a half, so it's not too long, just the right amount of time. Drinking beer on the yacht and feeling the Hawaiian breeze is the best!

２０人位の乗船客でしたが、日本人は我々３人。母は８５歳ですが、楽しんでいました。クジラもちょっとだけ見れました。沖に行くと、エメラルドグリーンの色がディープブルーに！母も感動してくれました。夜のクルージングより、ハワイを実感します。料金もはるかに安いです。１時間半くらいですので長すぎなく、ちょうどいい時間です。ヨットの上で、ビールを飲んでハワイの風を感じる、最高！

Parasailing was my first experience, and since I don't understand English, I was quite worried, but I'm glad I tried it!! I was concerned about getting injured and what would happen if I couldn't understand the instructions, but they explained everything with gestures, and there weren't any difficult steps to follow. The anxiety was only before taking off, but once I was in the air, I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the ocean. While flying, it just felt amazing.

The photo service was $30, and they took over 100 pictures. I brought a waterproof digital camera (hanging around my neck), so I was able to take photos from the sky (the flight was stable enough), but I couldn't take pictures of myself, so it was great to have them taken for wonderful memories.

There was a bit of trouble with the pickup car being late, but the hotel front desk contacted them, and everything worked out. It was just Hawaiian time, I guess (laughs).

パラセイリングは初めて、英語もわからないので、かなり悩みましたが
やってみて良かった！！
怪我しないかな…、
説明が聞き取れなかったらどうしよう…と心配していましたが
身振り手振りで説明してもらえるし、そもそも難しい手順はありません。
不安なのは飛ぶまでで、いったん飛んでしまったら海の美しさに圧倒されてます。
飛んでいる間は、とにかく気持ちがいいです。

Photoサービスは３０$で１００枚以上撮ってもらえました。
防水のデジカメを（首からぶら下げて）持っていったので
空からの写真は撮れましたが（それほど飛行は安定しています）
自分の写真は撮れないので、撮ってもらって良い思い出になりました。

迎えの車が遅れるというトラブルがありましたが、
ホテルのフロントから連絡を入れてもらって事なきを得ました。
そこはハワイタイムということで(笑)

It was my son's second private lesson, and he had a very kind and easy-to-understand instructor who spoke to him multiple times with gentleness. I also found the instructor to be very friendly and pleasant. Both of them were able to ride the waves almost perfectly, and we were very satisfied. The next day, I tried it alone and was able to ride successfully. I thought about surfing when I return to Japan, but since my neck hurts, it's difficult for an old man to do it for long periods... Ah, it was fun.

12歳の息子と2回目のプライベートレッスンでした。息子のインストラクターの方はとても親切で分かりやすく優しく何度も話しかけてくださっていました。私の方もとても気さくな方でいい感じでした。二人ともほぼ波に乗れて大変満足でした。翌日私は一人でトライし、うまく乗ることができました。日本に帰ってもサーフィンしてみるかー？と思いましたが、ただ首が痛くなるので長時間はおじさんには無理ですね、、、ああ楽しかった。

It was such a lot of fun. Russel and Kevin were excellent professionals and really made us feel safe with their knowledge and skill. We really enjoyed the whole excursion from start to finish. The boat handled the windy and choppy conditions very comfortably. Para-sailing about 600 ft. above the ocean off Waikiki harbour was so quiet and exhilarating.

I thought the children might be scared, but surprisingly they were quite happy. The people who rode with us were very kind, and the children became attached to them. If there's a chance, maybe next time too?!

子供が怖がるかなとも思ったが意外と喜んでました。同乗した方々が非常にやさしく、子供もなついていました。機会があれば次回も？！

I was a bit nervous since it was my first time, but I felt refreshed and had a great time. I experienced more seasickness than I expected, but the staff provided excellent support, which made me feel at ease.

初めてで少し緊張していましたが、気分爽快で楽しかったです。予想以上に船酔いしてしまいましたが、スタッフがしっかりフォローしてくれたので安心でした。

I made a last-minute reservation online the day before, but the process from booking to pickup to the actual paragliding was smooth, and I was able to enjoy it comfortably (≧∇≦). I'm very satisfied!

前日に現地で急遽ネットから予約しましたが、予約→ピックアップ→本番とスムーズで、快適にパラセイリングが出来ました（≧∇≦）大満足です！

Nice and professional crew, expectations were met completely. Had a great time on the line together with my girlfriend and a great view on Waikiki.

2 kids and dad together! What a blast! Will do this again!

There may be some language issues during the round trip from the yacht harbor to the point, but the captain's administrative response was not very exciting. The parasailing itself was truly wonderful. The shuttle bus driver did their best to cheer us up with broken Japanese. Of course, I doubled the tip.

ヨットハーバーからポイントまでの往復時は言葉の問題は多少あるかもしれませんがキャプテン等の事務的な対応はテンションがあがりませんでした。パラセイリング自体は大変すばらいものでした。シャトルバスのドライバーは片言の日本語で一生懸命盛り上げてくれました。チップはもちろん倍額させていただきました。

In a word, it was so much fun that I want to experience it again. We went up to a height of 150 meters, which was quite high, and the view was beautiful. They will burn the photos onto a CD for $30, and I think it's worth buying. We were worried about theft and didn't bring any money, but there were other Japanese groups there, so theft probably isn't a concern. Definitely give it a try!

一言で言うともう一度体験したいくらい楽しかったです。150mの高さにしたのですが結構高く景色も綺麗でした。写真を$30でCDに焼いてくれますが、これは買ったほうがいいと思います。私たちは盗難が怖くお金を持参しなかったのですが、他の日本人のグループの方もいて盗難とかはおそらく心配なさそです。是非体験してみてください、

The day of participation was quite sunny, and since there were no other Japanese participants, I really felt like I was abroad, which made it so much fun. The juice I drank on the boat was exceptional! I was also able to see turtles swimming in the sea, which became a wonderful memory.♪

参加日はかなりの晴天で、また他の参加者に日本人がいなかったため、これぞ外国！という気分を味わえてとっても楽しかったです。
船の上で飲むジュースはまた格別でした！
海で泳ぐ亀も見ることができ、とってもよい思い出になりました♪
