As a first time parasailer, I thought it was AMAZING! I would totally go again and recommend that others go too. Hawaii Parasailing is awesome! The boat crew (Captain Jason and, darn it, I don't remember his name) and the shuttle driver were superb!!! They made everyone on the outing feel special and happy. As "bigger" girls, we were thrilled to get to ride together. I have to say that the office staff has something to be desired though. The girls were rude and condesending. I did not like dealing with them. But since we didn't have to deal with them too much it did not take away from the overall experience.

My friend wanted to parasail while she was visiting me on the island. I had never been and I am really glad we chose Hawaii Parasail. Hector made it easy and fun, not to mention, he was CUTE! :)
The Captain was great and so was our whole experience. Thanks!

Waikiki Diving Centre has good equipment and a good boat. Capt. Dave and Dive Instructor Marco were fun, friendly and professional. Dove on "Sea Tiger" wreck ... awesome dive to deck level at 100' and then to Horseshoe Reef ... Saw a Dragon Eel there ... very rare and very cool. Don't know how Marco found it buried in a coral hole but he did and made sure we all got a look.
Only 6 experienced divers on this outing ... excellent diver to guide ration. Was a great trip!

I participated with my 18-year-old daughter. We had a blast together!
Since I have a fear of heights, we chose the lowest option, but when we actually jumped, it didn't feel that high because the ocean was below us. However, the boats looked small, so it must have been quite a height.
The beautiful blue ocean surrounded us in a 360-degree panorama, and beyond that, we could see the streets of Waikiki. It was amazing!
Out of six groups, only two were Japanese, and we were able to take pictures together, which was great. We met a couple, Mr. O and his wife, for the first time on this tour, but later we coincidentally ran into them twice in Waikiki. The second time was at the hotel laundry. It was exciting to experience such coincidences because we participated in this tour.
There were various encounters, and it was a lot of fun!
18歳の娘とい一緒に参加しました。ふたりで大はしゃぎ♪
高所恐怖症なので、一番低いのにしましたが、実際飛んでみると、下が海なのでそれほど高いとも感じず、でも、ボートが小さく見えるので、かなりの高さだったんでしょうね。
きれいな青い海が一面、360度パノラマ状態で、その向こうにワイキキの街並みが見えて、最高☆
6組のうち2組だけが日本人で、写真を取り合いでき、良かったです。そのOさんご夫婦とは、このツアーではじめてお会いしたのですが、その後、ワイキキで二回も偶然お会いしました。二回目は、ホテルのランドリー。そんな偶然に興奮することができたのも、このツアーに参加したから。
いろんな出会いがあり、楽しいですよ♪

Since my first pregnancy, I've been away from BB... My youngest is now four years old! He can play with Dad quite a bit, and since they can watch the kids, I finally got to try surfing, which I've wanted to do for a long time! ☆彡 The explanations about stance and everything were super easy to understand, and I had a really great experience! The teacher's personality was also fantastic!
By chance, I was the only student, so I was really lucky!
Honestly, the paddle training was tough, but the joy of finally being able to ride made it worth it, and I was able to push through!
When I return to Japan, I’ll work hard so that my husband and kids won’t make fun of me!!!
一人目の妊娠から、遠のいていたBB・・・。
下も今年4歳!だいぶパパと男遊びもできるようになり、子供たちをみていてくれるというので…前からやりたかったサーフィンに初挑戦☆彡
スタンスの表現等、私にはすっごく説明がわかり易く、とっても良い体験が出来ました!

たまたま、生徒が私のみだったので、私はかなりラッキーでした!
パドル修行は、正直きつかったですが、その分乗れた時の喜びが買っていて頑張れました!

Before the experience, I read the reviews thoroughly and took motion sickness medication, so I didn't get seasick.
Regarding the tips, I had read that they should be paid on-site, so when I saw a paper in a visible spot on the boat saying "Please tip" in Japanese, I thought, "Ah, just like the reviews mentioned!" and was able to enjoy the experience comfortably.
However, the costs were higher than I expected, which made me a bit nervous when I saw others going up, but once it was my turn, all fear disappeared, and I genuinely had a great time. The staff offers to take photos for $30 for those who want them, but we decided to take turns with a nearby group of Japanese tourists. It was truly moving, so I highly recommend you try it!
体験にあたり、こちらのクチコミをよく読んでからのぞんだこともあり、酔い止め薬も飲んで行ったので船酔いはしませんでした。
チップについても、実は現地で払うようだということも読んでから行ったので、船のよく見えるところに「チップをお願いします」ということが日本語で書かれた紙が貼られているのをみても「あっクチコミに書いてあったとおりだ!」と思うくらいで、気持ちよく楽しんでくることができました。
ただ、思っていた以上に本当に高くあがるので、他の方があがっているのを見て少し緊張しましたが、自分の番になれば全然恐怖心も吹き飛び、心の底から楽しかったです。カメラは、スタッフの方が希望者に30ドルで撮影してくれるのですが、私達は隣の日本人のグループとお互いに取り合うことにしました。本当に感動できるので、ぜひ体験してみてください!

I participated with a friend. The view from the air was great, and we could see Diamond Head in its entirety. The wind felt nice, and it didn't feel too bumpy. Since we took off from the boat, I thought I wouldn't get wet today, but just then, we slowed down and I got splashed into the sea (laughs).
However, since we went out on a small boat that holds about a dozen people, it was quite rocky, and because we went in groups of 2-3, I think you would get really seasick if you don't take motion sickness medication while waiting.
Photos were $30, but not many people ordered them; instead, we took turns taking pictures with the others on board.
The staff were cheerful and fun, and I think this is a great activity for families. I want to do it again!
友達と2人で参加してきました。
空中では見晴らしがよく、ダイアモンドヘッドを一望出来ました。風が気持ちよく、あまり揺れている感じはしませんでした。ボートから飛び立つので、今日は濡れないな~と思った矢先、スピードを落として海に落っことされました(笑)
ただ、10数人乗りの小さな船で沖に出るので揺れが激しく、2~3人ずつ順番に行うので、酔い止めを飲んでおかないと待っている間にめちゃくちゃ酔うと思います。
写真は30ドルでしたがみんなあまり頼まずに、同乗している方達と写真を交代で取り合っていました。
スタッフの方も陽気で楽しく、家族連れにもってこいのアクティビティだと思いました。またやりたい!

It was a hotel near the shop, so I went there on my own time to participate. I have some experience, but since I was participating alone, I had an instructor with me, which made it easy to surf! We were able to use Kuhio Point, which is just a bit to the left of the shop, almost exclusively. During the lesson, they took photos, and later they sell a DVD with images of all participants for $30. At one point, the owner, Mr. Hands, came by and did some paddle surfing. Everyone was able to ride the waves relatively easily, and the staff were kind. I recommend this for anyone who wants to casually experience surfing!
ショップのそばのホテルだったので、自分で時間に出向き参加しました。
多少経験者ですが一人参加だったので、インストラクターについてもらい、安心してサーフィンできました!
ショップの少し左手のクヒオポイントをほぼ貸切で出来ます。
レッスン中写真を撮っていて、後で参加者全員の画像が入ったDVDを$30で売っています。
途中、オーナーのハンズ氏も来て、パドルサーフィンしてました。
みんな割りと簡単に波に乗れてましたし、スタッフも優しいです。

During this trip to Hawaii, I was determined to try parasailing, but at first, I was speechless at the actual height. My daughter (21 years old) was thrilled and said she could ride it over and over again. It's safe and incredibly fun!! If I had to mention one thing, be cautious of seasickness. While waiting for all the passengers to finish their experience, you might feel unwell on the swaying boat like a leaf...
今回のハワイでは必ずパラセイリングをと思い望んだものの 実際の高さに最初は声も出ませんでした。一緒に乗った娘(21歳)は何度でも乗れる~と大はしゃぎしてました。安全に遊べて面白さも満点です!!しいて言うなら、船酔いにご注意ですね。乗船者全員が体験し終わるまで、木の葉の様に揺れるボートで待っている間に具合が悪くなるかも・・・。

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!!

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.

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!☆

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!
