This was the best para-sailing experience we have, we already para-sailed before in Cabo but it was not as good as the Hawaiian Para-sail. I would recommend this to anyone para sailing for the first time or experienced people. The tour guides were amazing as well.

We signed up for a fun activity for our family of four on the afternoon we arrived in Hawaii. I was worried we might be too tired, but it turned out to be such an enjoyable tour that those feelings disappeared. We were the only Japanese participants, but every time someone took off, both the staff and the others around us got excited. The staff were lively and skillfully entertained us while driving, making it a tour filled with laughter. Seeing Hawaii from above is amazing! While waiting for the boat, there aren't many covered areas, so I recommend bringing a hat and drinks.
今回は家族4人でアクティブに遊ぶという目的で、ハワイに着いた日の午後に申し込みました。疲れて大丈夫かな。と思っていましたが、そんな気持ちも吹き飛んじゃうほど楽しいツアーでした。日本人は私達だけでしたが、誰かが飛ぶたびに、スタッフの方も周りの方も盛り上がり、スタッフの方はきびきびしながらも、巧みに運転しながら楽しませてくれるので、笑いっぱなしのツアーでした。ハワイを空の上から見るのは最高です!船が来るのを待っているときは屋根のあるところが少ないので、帽子や飲み物など持って行くといいと思います。

We, a couple in our 40s, had our first experience with paddle surfing. The weather was great, and we set out from the beach of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, walking in the waters of Waikiki with our instructor and photographer. Although we fell into the sea several times due to our lack of skill, the scenery was stunning and left us in awe. We also had many photos taken, which became wonderful keepsakes.
40代夫婦でパドルサーフィン初体験でした。天候が良く、ロイヤルハワイアンホテルのビーチから出てインストラクターやカメラマンとワイキキの海を散歩しました。下手で何度も海に落ちましたが景色が素晴らしく感激しました。写真もたくさん撮影していただき記念になりました。

I boarded a mixed bus from the Heideman office at the Waikiki Grand Hotel and headed to the beach. Everyone except me was part of a group, so I felt a bit lonely, but once I got into the water, it didn't matter about the group. I paddled on my own to reach the instructor, and when the waves came, they helped me. The instructor mentioned that if you're not used to paddling, it's difficult to ride the waves on your own.
The approximately two-hour lesson flew by, and depending on your stamina, you can ride the waves quite a bit! Since it's a less crowded beach (with a reef below), you can enjoy it without worry, and I highly recommend it.
All the explanations were in English.
ワイキキグランドホテルにあるヒーデマンのオフィスから混合バスに乗り込み、ビーチへ。私以外は皆グループで参加していたので少し心細かったですが、海に入ってしまえば、グループも何もありません。自力でパドルして、インストラクターの元に行き、波が来たら押してもらいます。インストラクターが普段からパドル慣れしていないと、自力で波に乗るのは難しいと言っていました。
約2時間のレッスンはあっという間でした体力次第でバンバン波に乗れますよー
人気の少ないビーチ(下がリーフ)なので、心おきなく出来ますし、オススメです
説明は全部英語でしたー

I was wondering what it would be like at 130 meters above ground, but the bright blue sky and ocean, the towering Diamond Head in the distance, and the cityscape of Honolulu, along with the round horizon, created a view that was even more amazing than I imagined!! I had a blast on the boat, especially with some playful performances that involved getting splashed with seawater ^_−☆

I was wondering if such a large canoe could ride the waves, but I was completely wrong! It rides the waves over a longer distance than regular surfing. The exhilaration of riding the waves while looking at Diamond Head in the waters of Hawaii is incredibly refreshing!
Just follow the captain's simple instructions: paddle or rest, that's all. You don't need to speak English to enjoy it!
こんな大きなカヌーが波に乗るのか?なんて思っていましたが、大間違い!
ふつうのサーフィンよりも長い距離波に乗ります。

I had always wanted to try it at least once, and I finally made it happen in Hawaii. Unlike Japan, the power of the waves was different, and surprisingly, I was able to stand up on the board right away. I had to paddle in time with the waves, but after two or three times, my arms became too tired, and each time, the coach pushed me from behind, allowing me to stand up multiple times, which was amazing.
Lastly, when I was being taken back, the hotel was WHITE SANDS HOTEL, but we took a long detour through Ala Wai and passed by Hilton, and I was dropped off on Kuhio Street, which wasted a lot of time. I thought they would drop me off first.
If it weren't for that, I would have given it a perfect score.
一度はやってみたいと思っていましたが、やっとハワイで実現できました。日本と違って波の力が、違うの為?可なんと、一発で立つことができました。波にあわせてこがなけばいけないのですが、2、3回もすると腕が上がらなくなり、その度にコーチが後ろから押してくれ何回も立てることができ最高でした。
最後に、帰りに送ってもらう時にホテルは、WHITE SANDS HOTELでしたが、アラワイを、通りヒルトン等を通り、クヒオ通りで降ろされメチャクチャ遠回りになり、時間が無駄になりました。最初に下ろしてくれるかなと思ったのですが。
これさえなければ、満点をあげるところでした。

We participated as a family of three. The activity itself was very enjoyable, and thanks to the captain's playful spirit, we even got to experience a splash in the sea.
I think those who are fluent in English can enjoy it wholeheartedly without any worries.
However, there were no staff at the counter or on board who could speak Japanese well, and the briefing was really just reading a paper in Japanese with only a few words. Since we had children with us, I felt a bit anxious considering the worst-case scenario.
The website mentioned that we would be picked up by a trolley with the tour company's logo, so I was watching for the trolley, but what arrived was a Mercedes van. Moreover, it was more than five minutes late, and I started to think about arranging a taxi. I think it would have been better if they had explained that it could be either a trolley or a vehicle like this; I was lucky I didn't miss it.
The return vehicle seemed to have been overlooked in the arrangement and took a while to arrive. When I asked the counter when the return vehicle would come, they said it would be here soon, but what came was a taxi. They mentioned that I would have to cover the cost myself, and a foreign couple who were with us talked to the counter and arranged for the same van we took to get back safely. If it had just been us, it might have turned into a rather unpleasant event.
As I mentioned earlier, parasailing itself was very exciting and fun, so if there’s a next time, I think I would look for a tour company that can communicate in Japanese. I believe there are many Japanese participants who could book through a Japanese website, so I would have appreciated a bit more consideration for Japanese speakers, such as having staff who can speak Japanese.
家族3人で参加しました。
アクティビティそのものはとても楽しく、キャプテンの遊び心もあって海ポチャも経験できました。
英語が堪能な方なら不安なく心から楽しめると思います。
カウンターにも乗船スタッフにも日本語が充分に話せる人がおらず、本当に単語のみの日本語と、日本語で書かれた用紙を読むだけのブリーフィングでした。
子ども連れでしたので万が一のことを考えると少々不安でした。
サイトでの説明には催行会社名ロゴの入ったトロリーで送迎と書いてあったのでトロリーを目で追っていましたが、来たのはベンツのバン。
しかも5分以上遅れ、タクシー手配しようかと考え始めた頃でした。
トロリーもしくはこういう車と説明があったらよかったと思います、見落とさなかったから良かったけど。
帰りの車も手配が漏れていたのかなかなか来ず、カウンターに帰りの車はいつ来るのか聞くとすぐ来るというので待っていると来たのはタクシー。
費用は自分持みたいなことも言われ、同行した外国人カップルも同じ所まで乗るためカウンターと話をつけてくれて、行きと同じバンを呼んでもらえ無事に帰れましたが自分たちだけだったら、後味の悪いイベントになってたかもしれません。
先にも書きましたがパラセイリング自体はとてもエキサイティングで楽しかったので、もし次があるとすれば日本語の通じる催行会社を探すと思います。
日本語サイトで申し込めて、日本人の参加者も多いと思いますので、日本語OKなスタッフを配置するなどもう少し日本人への気遣いも欲しかったです。

On time and friendly pick up in Waikiki got us to the dock. Filled out the legal paperwork and boarded the boat within 10 minutes. Friendly crew of two; Jamel the skipper and Gene rigger and photographer. You get rigged at your seat then sit down on the back deck to get hooked up to the parasail. They reel you out to about 1,000ft then real you back in. If you don't want to get wet you have to ask, otherwise you get dunked on the way back in. We also recommend you get the photos; Gene does a good job and you get them on an SD card to take with. Our 14 year old girls really enjoyed it as did the mom and dad; we went up two at a time, but they can take three (and maybe four?); total time aloft was about 10-12 minutes. Total time Waikiki to Waikiki was about 3 - 3.5 hours.

When the lesson started, I was taught by a foreigner who could speak Japanese, and they explained everything very clearly and in detail, so even someone like me, who is not good at English, understood it well (laughs). Also, since we were in the ocean, the instructor stayed with us. They watched the wave conditions and pushed the board when a good wave came. Thanks to that, I was able to ride without falling even once, and I had a very satisfying time!

I experienced a surfing lesson. I chose a group lesson, but it felt almost like a private lesson because the instructor was with us the whole time. The lesson was in English, but they used simple language, so I think it would be fine even for those who don't understand English. There was a little mishap with the reservation time, but they responded quickly, which I really appreciated. I think it's a nice service that they take photos and provide them on a CD. By the way, purchasing the CD cost $30.
