Waikiki
I went parasailing with my dad after he said he wanted to! The person in charge spoke a little Japanese, and when they realized we were father and child, they called my dad "Papa" and even splashed us in the water once, which was a lot of fun. You can buy the photos taken on an SD card for $30 (for those who want it), and I think it's a good deal since there are about 100 pictures included. We bought the SD card, took photos with our phones, and also captured the view from above with our own digital camera.
父がしたい！と言った一言で父と一緒にパラセーリングをしました。担当してくれた方は少し日本語が出来る方で私と父が親子と分かると父の事をPapaって呼んだり、一回水ボチャンをしたりととても楽しかったです。SDカードで撮ってくれた写真を30ドルで買うのですが（ほしい人は）、100枚前後入っているのでお得かと思います。
私達はSDカードも買って、携帯でも次の人に撮ってもらって、自分のデジカメで上からの景色も撮りました。

They arrived on time to pick me up, which was very helpful. The rates are also affordable, and I always request my transfers in Hawaii through them! I would like to use their services again next time.
時間通りに迎えに来ていただき、とても助かりました。
料金も安く、いつもハワイの送迎はこちらでお願いしてます！
また、次回も利用したいと思います。

What a great night to finish off our trip to Waikiki, the show was very entertaining showcasing various cultures from the South Pacific and the food was great, a good mix of traditional and exotic, compere for the evening was excellent.
We challenged ourselves to the longest 150m ride as a family. At first, I thought it might be too high, but once I jumped, it wasn't that bad and felt really good. It seems that up to three people can ride together. The view was amazing!
I did feel a bit nauseous because it swayed quite a bit. The boat was also moving fast, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.
Photos were available for $30, and tips were separate.
家族で一番長い150mに挑戦しました。最初は高すぎたかなと思いましたが飛んでみればそれほどでもなくとても気持ちかったです。3人まで一緒に乗れるみたいです。景色が最高でした！
結構左右に振られたので途中気持ち悪くなってしまいました。船の中でもスピードが出てましたので、酔いやすい人は要注意です。
写真は30ドルでチップは別でした。

I participated in a plan with hotel pickup on Sunday morning. A Japanese female staff member came to pick us up, and out of the 12 participants, 10 were Japanese.
At the beach, three staff members assisted us, so for beginners, joining a group is more than enough. When the waves came, they pushed the boards and signaled with simple Japanese phrases like "Paddle!" and "Stand up!" The lessons took place close to the shore where it was just shallow enough to stand. That said, we were in Hawaii, and there were plenty of waves for practice. After a while, some skilled participants were taken out to the ocean by one of the veteran staff members.
We were a couple in our 40s and 50s, the oldest participants. We usually exercise by hiking, but it required quite a bit of stamina. The other participants were mostly in their 30s, and you could clearly see who was tired and who wasn't. If you get tired, you can just float in the sea, but if you want to ride the waves, you obviously have to paddle out each time.
As mentioned in other experiences, there are no lockers for valuables. Everyone just places their belongings on a shelf in a visible area, but there always seem to be at least two staff members in the shop, and since it's a store, there are customers coming and going. It's best to bring only the minimum necessary, like some dollars for tips, to feel secure. There are no separate changing areas, so on the way back, you'll be putting clothes over your wet swimsuit. When I read about this in other reviews, I thought, "Oh no," but in the Hawaiian sun and atmosphere, it didn't bother me at all.
ホテル送迎付きのプランで、日曜の午前中に参加しました。日本人の女性スタッフが迎えに来てくれ、参加者12人中10人が日本人でした。
海では３人ものスタッフが付いてくれましたので、初心者にはグループ参加で十分です。波が来たらボードを押してくれ、「漕いでー!」「立ってー!」とカタコトの日本語で合図してくれます。レッスンは、ギリギリ、足で立てる岸辺に近い場所で行われます。だからと言ってそこはハワイ、練習には十分な波がきます。しばらくすると、上手な数人は、ベテランらしきスタッフの1人が沖まで連れて行ってくれていました。
当方40代と50代の夫婦で、最年長参加者でした。普段から登山をして運動しているのですが、相当な体力が要りました。他の皆さんは30代までですが、疲れている様子の人とそうでない人がはっきり分かれていました。疲れたらずっと海に漂っていればいい訳ですが、波に乗りたければ、当然、毎回パドリングして沖まで行かなければなりません。
他の体験談にもある通り、貴重品を入れるロッカーなどはありません。目立つ場所にある棚に全員の荷物を置くだけですが、お店にはいつも2人以上のスタッフが要るようですし、お店なのでお客さんの出入りもあります。最低限必要な、チップ用のドルだけを持って行かれると安心です。
仕切られた着替えるところもないので、帰りは濡れた水着の上に服を着て帰ります。他の体験談を読んだときは「えーっ」と思いましたが、ハワイの日差しと雰囲気では全く気になりませんでしたよ。

We participated as a couple.
The instructions were in English, but they explained everything in a way we could understand, and we enjoyed ourselves throughout.
After moving to the sea turtle point, we had plenty of fun snorkeling, and after getting out of the water, we went sailing towards Diamond Head. We were super excited to see sea turtles for the first time while sailing.
Even though we weren't far from the beach, there were a lot of sea turtles.
We were able to take pictures with the GoPro we brought.
The sailing was faster than we expected and felt really good; I'm so glad we participated.
(It was mentioned that fins would incur a fee, but it turns out there was no charge. In fact, I think without fins, unless you're very confident in your swimming, you would likely be swept away.)
夫婦で参加しました。
英語のみの案内でしたが、こちらが分かるように説明して下さり、終始楽しめました。
海亀のポイントまで移動してからたっぷりシュノーケリングを楽しみ、海から上がってからはダイヤモンドヘッドの方までセーリング。初めての海亀にセーリングに大興奮。
ビーチからそんなに離れていないのに、海亀もたくさんいました。
持参したgoproで撮影もできました。
セーリングは思った以上にスピードがありとても気持ち良く、参加出来て本当に良かったです。
(フィンは有料と記載がありましたが、お金はかからないそうです。
むしろフィンがないと余程泳ぎに自信がない限り、流されてしまうと思います。)

I had a really fun experience! I'm so glad I took photos for $30! These are pictures we definitely couldn't have taken ourselves!! I want to try it again the next time I go.

It was a nice day with a pleasant breeze. The previous days had been cloudy and rainy due to a storm, so it felt refreshing. Although it was an additional charge, I purchased the photos taken on an SD card, and after parasailing, I enjoyed looking at those photos on my PC. Previously, when I participated in another option, I also received a paid photo SD, but at that time, I was given the SD card, a receipt, and a paper with contact information in case there were any issues with installing or downloading the data. This time, I only paid in cash on the boat, so I felt a bit anxious about what to do if there were any problems. However, I was glad that I was able to view the photos without any issues.
天気の良い日で程よく風もあり
前日まではストームの関係で曇天や雨天の日々が続いてたので気分爽快でした。
有料となりますがSDカードに撮影した写真を入れて下さり購入して
PCにインストールしてパラセーリング後もその写真を見て楽しみました。
以前、他のオプションに参加した時も同じように有料写真SDだったのですがその時はSDと領収書ともし万が一データーがインストールやダウンロード出来ない場合の連絡先など書かれた紙を渡されました。今回は現金を船の上で支払っただけだったので何か問題があった時の対応などはどぉすれば…と少し不安になりました。
無事に写真を見れたから良かったのですが。

It was my first parasailing experience! I was a bit scared and chose the lowest height of 110m, but I might have been okay with going higher…
Before taking off, they check if it's okay to drop you into the sea (laughs). Of course, if you say it's okay, they play around by lowering and raising you. I took photos with a fun foreign family and a honeymoon couple, but the best pictures were taken by the staff, so I bought the data.
A friend who gets motion sickness took anti-nausea medication just in case, so they were totally fine. However, the couple we shared the boat with got really seasick, and it was sad to see. Since it can be quite bumpy, I think it's a good idea to bring motion sickness medication if you're worried.
The shuttle staff and the boat crew don't speak Japanese, but they are kind.
初パラセイリングでした！
ビビって一番低い110mにしましたが、もっと高くても良かったかも…
飛ぶ前に、海に落としていいか(笑)確認されます。
もちろんOKすると下ろしたりあげたりして遊んでくれます。
ノリのいい外国人家族とハネムーンカップルと写真の撮りあいをしましたが、やっぱりスタッフの撮ってくれる写真が一番良くて、データ買い取りました。
酔いやすい友人は念のため酔い止めを飲んで行ったので全然大丈夫でした。
しかしいっしょに乗船したカップルがものすごく酔っててかわいそうでした。
かなり揺れるので心配な方は酔い止めを持って行った方がいいと思います。
送迎スタッフも船のスタッフも日本語は通じませんが、親切です。

Loved it. Luau Buffett Dinner excellent. Cast members made it so much fun. Cocktails spot on.
Really enjoyed the Show - will be recommending to my friends
I participated in the Atlantis submarine tour that started at 3 PM. The submarine we boarded was the "Standard" one, not the "Premium."
What was disappointing:
When I signed up, the photos on the website were very beautiful, and I was hoping to see something just as stunning. Unfortunately, the water wasn't as clear, and I couldn't see as vividly as I had hoped. The submarine offers multilingual support with free headphones, but my headphone jack seemed to be broken, and I couldn't hear anything. The crew responded quickly, and I was able to listen through another jack. The Premium submarine might have better performance, so I would like to try that one next time. We took a boat to reach the submarine, and that boat was really rocky! On windy days, those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.
What was good:
Under the sea, there were not only fish but also sunken ships and airplane wrecks, making it a treasure trove of sights! We were able to see a lot of fish gathering around those sites. My elementary school son was very excited to see a sunken ship for the first time. My 3-year-old daughter seemed to get a bit bored towards the end. On the boat to the submarine, snacks, drinks, and souvenirs were available for purchase, which was nice. The crew members were very cheerful and kind; when my 3-year-old daughter struggled to go down the ladder, one of them carried her down.
Although the "Premium" submarine was closed for maintenance this time, I would like to try it next time.
午後3時からスタートのアトランティス潜水艦ツアーに参加しました。
乗り込んだ船は、「プレミアム」ではなくて「スタンダード」の潜水艦です。
残念だったところ：
申し込みをしたときのWEBページの写真がとても綺麗で、こんなに綺麗に見えるのかなあ、と期待して行きましたが、残念ながら、ここまで水も澄んでおらず鮮明に見ることができませんでした。潜水艦は無料のヘッドホンで多言語対応しているのですが、私のヘッドホンの差し込みプラグは故障していたのか音が出ませんでした。クルーの方がすぐに対応してくれてほかのプラグから聞くことはできました。プレミアムの潜水艦のほうが性能がいいのかもしれないので、今度はそちらに乗りたいです。潜水艦に乗り込む沖までは船で行くのですが、その船がすごい揺れました！風が強い日はとくに、乗り物酔いしやすい方は要注意です。
良かったところ：
海の中には、魚だけではなく沈没した船や飛行機の機体なども眠っておりみどころは満載です！そこに集まるお魚もとてもたくさん見ることができました。小学生の息子は沈没船を初めて見てとても興奮していました。３歳の娘は後半は少し飽きてしまったようでした。潜水艦に行くまでの船の中では、軽食や飲み物、お土産を買うこともできます。それも良かったです。クルーの方はとても明るく親切で、３歳の娘がはしごを降りるのに苦労したときには抱きかかえて降りてくれました。
今回はメンテナンス中でお休み中でしたが、今度は「プレミアム」の潜水艦に乗ってみたいです。
アトランティスサブマリンアドベンチャーをVELTRAで予約していただき、ありがとうございます。アロハ。

I posted before, but the claim of visiting five hotels is an exaggeration and outdated. This time, it took two hours after stopping by the airport counter for the eighth location. I couldn't make it in time for my appointment, even though I set it with some buffer. I waited for the ride at the group exit and took as many as I could at the individual exit before departing. If they hadn't advertised five locations, I would have been satisfied. Please change the expression immediately!
前回も投稿しましたが、回るホテル5箇所というのは、誇大広告、過去の話です。
今回8箇所目。空港のカウンター寄ってから2時間かかりました。
アポイントに間に合いませんでした。
余裕を持って設定したのに。
団体出口で配車を待ち、個人出口で乗れるだけ乗せ
それから出発です。
5箇所とうたってなければ納得できます。

You can see the sky, sea, mountains, and city all at once, and I felt the reality of being in Hawaii while running alongside surfers.
Although we finished with a water landing, they controlled it so that only my waist got wet, keeping my face and head dry, which I really appreciated.
The 150 meters were worth it in terms of both time and scenery.
空、海、山、街が一望でき、
サーフィンする人達と並走して
ハワイに来た実感がありました
一旦着水でのフィニッシュとなりますが
腰が浸かるくらいで、顔や頭は濡らさない
ようコントロールしてくれて、さすがだなと
感じました
150mは時間も景色も値打ちありでした

A pickup came to the hotel, and we transferred to a boat from the port for parasailing in order. My Japanese was limited, but I didn't have any particular issues. You can purchase an SD card with the photos for $30, but that's about it. -1 point. It seems difficult to take parasailing photos from the boat. Parasailing allows you to enjoy the blue sky, blue sea, and a private experience of Hawaii. It was amazing. I'm glad I did it!
ホテルまで迎えが来て、港から船に乗り換えて順番にパラセイリングです。
日本語は少しだけでしたが、とくに困ることはありませんでした。
写真は30ドルで撮ったデータの入ったSDカードを購入できるのですが、まあこんなものですね。-1pt。船からとるパラセイリングの写真は難しそうです。
パラセイリングは、青い空、青い海、二人だけのハワイを楽しめます。最高でした。やってよかったです！

The challenge of 120 meters was my first time, so I was nervous, but the moment I jumped, I was like "Whoa!" After going up, I didn't feel the height at all; it was just a great feeling. The view of the ocean from above was vast (which is obvious), and I felt like I could fly forever. It felt so short that I was thinking, "Is it already over?" Next time, I will challenge myself to 150 meters!
120ｍの挑戦、初めてだったので緊張しましたが、飛んだ瞬間はひぇ～となりましたが、上空へ上がった後は、高さも感じることなく、気持ちいいの一言でした。
上空から見る海が広い広い（当たり前ですが）、ずっ～と飛んでいたい気分でした。
もう終わり？って感じるぐらい、短く感じました。
次回は150ｍに挑戦します！！

The only issue with the transportation for this Hawaii trip was that they did not arrive on time. Considering the traffic situation in Waikiki, it might be difficult to be punctual. However, the hotel front desk staff made a confirmation call, and they quickly contacted us to let us know, "We are currently driving through [location] and will arrive in about [number] minutes!" That was a relief. Upon arrival, they immediately apologized, and I reflected on how I might have rushed them, feeling a bit guilty about it...
このハワイ旅行の送迎で唯一、時間通りにお迎えがきませんでした。ワイキキの交通事情を考えると時間通りという方が難しいのかもしれませんが。。。
ホテルのフロントの方が確認の電話をしてくださり、すぐに「いま、どこどこを走っていて、あと何分ぐらいでつくから！」と連絡がついたので良かったです。到着後、まっさきに謝ってくださり、こちらが急かしてしまい申し訳なかったなと反省・・・。

After arriving at the hotel, I was wandering around unsure of the way to the front desk, and someone kindly came back to show me the way. (I apologize for the trouble at that time...) I will use this service again.

The bus was fully booked, but the atmosphere inside was very friendly and comfortable! For some reason, the driver gave us a Hawaiian souvenir (a vase!?) but I still don't know why (laughs). Throughout the journey, the driver kept us informed about the hotel route and where we were at the moment, which made me feel at ease. I will definitely use this service again when I visit Hawaii.
満席の中、車内は非常に和気あいあいとしてて心地よかったです！
なぜか、ドライバーの方がハワイのお土産（花瓶！？）をくださったのですが、いまだに理由は不明です（笑）
道中も逐一、ホテルの順路であったり、今どこを走っているのかを伝えてもらえたので安心して乗っていれました。また、ハワイに行く際は利用させていただきます。

There was no issue with the timing or guidance, but while driving, the door on the side where the luggage was loaded suddenly opened, and the trunk of my companion fell onto the road with a loud "thud!" I think it wasn't properly locked, but we just laughed and reloaded the trunk, and that was that...
時間や案内に問題があったわけではなく・・・走行中に荷物を積んでいた側の扉が急に開いて同乗者の方のトランクが道路に「どすん！」と落ちました。。。きちんとロックができてなかったのだと思いますが、笑ってトランクを積みなおして終了というのが・・・。

Depending on the number of passengers and the location of the hotel, there might be some detours, but I think it's a good option since the price is reasonable and the car is comfortable.
In the past, I used a certain company's airport shuttle that had videos playing inside the vehicle, but here, the cheerful driver briefly introduced the tourist spots along the way (in English). It might depend on the driver, but this feels more like being on an overseas trip.
乗車者人数やホテルの位置によっては回り道になるかもしれませんが、
お手頃な値段で車も快適なので、よいと思います。
過去に利用した某社の空港送迎シャトルは車内に映像が流れるカタチでしたが、こちらは陽気なドライバーさんが通り道にある観光スポットを簡単に紹介してくれました（英語ですが）。
ドライバーさんによるのかもしれませんが、海外旅行に来たぞーって思えるのはこっちかな。

I used to think flying high would be scary, but I decided to give parasailing a try. Once I actually flew, I felt no fear at all; it was a delightful sensation! It was a happy moment as I enjoyed the view. Riding on the boat was also refreshing and fun. The meeting point was conveniently close to the Hilton, within walking distance. The parachute being in rainbow colors was also very beautiful.
高いところへ飛ぶのは怖いと思っていましたが、それでもパラセイリングを一度はやってみたいと決心して申し込みをしました。
実際に飛んでみたら怖さはなく、ふわりとした感覚でとても気持ち良かったです！景色を眺めながら幸せなひと時でした♪
ボートに乗っているときも爽快で楽しめました。集合場所はヒルトンから近く徒歩で行かれて便利。パラシュートがレインボーカラーで美しいこともとても良かったです。

As someone in my 50s without much confidence in my physical fitness, I decided to try surfing. I participated in a group lesson, but I was able to take breaks at my own pace. It was quite challenging, but I had a great time. I successfully rode the waves a few times by following the instructions I was given, which made me very satisfied. The coach was also supportive, making it easier for me to ride, and I really enjoyed it.

I experienced parasailing for the first time on the 150m course over the ocean! We boarded a boat with other tourists and took off in pairs! So, it might be smoother to sign up in even numbers. However, there were also participants in odd numbers or solo, and they paired up with others, and everyone on board had a great time together! The staff were lively and took lots of photos from departure to return, which made it fun! Being able to see Waikiki from above the ocean is a memory I will cherish for a lifetime.
初めてのパラセーリング、海上150mコースを体験しました！他の観光客の方と船に乗り2人ずつ飛び立ちます！なので偶数での申し込みの方がスムーズかな？けれど奇数や一人での参加の方もいましたが、他の方とペアになったり、乗客全員で盛り上がり楽しみました！スタッフもノリが良く出航から帰港までいっぱい写真を撮ったりして楽しかったです！海の上、ワイキキを一望できたことは一生の思い出です。

We participated during our honeymoon. Initially, I wanted to see a fire dance and did some research, but there weren't any interesting options close to our hotel (Royal Hawaiian), so we booked this show, which seemed to have a lot of content beyond just the fire dance.
I'm in my 30s and don't know much about Elvis or American songs from before that era. However, I think the show is enjoyable even if you don't know the songs. The overwhelming vocal talent and powerful dancing are definitely highlights.
We chose a dinner plan, but I felt that the time between the end of dinner and the start of the show was a bit long. The meal was satisfactory. If I go again, I think I would prefer just the show with one drink included.
新婚旅行中に参加しました。
当初はファイヤーダンスが見たいと思い、色々調べていたのですが、自分たちのホテル(ロイヤルハワイアン)から近いところで興味を引く催行が無く、ファイヤーダンス以外も盛りだくさんの内容で楽しめそうなこのショーを予約しました。
当方30代でエルビスやそれより前のアメリカの曲はあまり知りません。ですが、わからなくても楽しめる内容になっていると思います。
圧倒的な歌唱力とパワフルなダンスが見ものです。
ディナー付きのプランを選択しましたが、ディナー終了からショーまでの時間が少し長いかなと感じました。食事は及第点。
次回行くのならばワンドリンク付きのショーのみでイイかなと思いました。
Thank you very much for visiting us this time. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.

Due to the storm approaching the Hawaiian Islands from the previous day, the event was held indoors, and I didn't feel much benefit from the diamond seating arrangement. The meals were served buffet-style, and while there was some priority, it was mostly free seating. Additionally, there were very long lines, with a gap of over 30 minutes between the front and the back, so there's room for improvement there. As for the food, I thought it was just okay. However, the show itself was highly entertaining and very enjoyable.
前日からのストームがハワイ諸島接近で雨風強く室内での開催となり席の配置がダイヤモンドでも余りメリットを感じなかった、また食事はビッフェ式だが一応優先はあったがほぼ自由となり、また非常に長い列が発生し軽く30分以上は先頭と最後尾には差があったのでそこは改善余地あり、食事内容はまあこんなもんかなぁと思う内容だった。しかしショー自体はエンターテイメントが高く見応え充分でした。
