I couldn't understand Japanese, so I just went with the flow.

When I made the reservation, there was no mention of anything, but one of the instructors was taking photos and tried to sell the data (SD card) for $30, almost forcefully. I paid for it thinking it would be a nice keepsake, but after returning home and checking the data, I found that many of the photos were out of focus. I think $30 is a rip-off for that. I believe it's much better to take selfies with a GoPro, so if you're recommended to buy it, it's better not to.

The parasailing itself was fantastic, as the weather was great. I recommend going to a height of 150 meters.

日本語が通じないので流れに任せて、、という感じでした。
予約時に何も記載がなかったがインストラクターの一人が写真を撮影していてそのデータ(SDカード)を30ドルで半ば強制的に？売りつけてきました。記念にと思い支払いましたが帰国後にデータを確認するもピントボケしているものが多くこれで30ドルはぼったくりかと思います。ゴープロで自撮りしてる方がよっぽどいいかと思うので、もし購入をすすめられたら買わない方がいいです。
パラセーリング自体は天気も良く最高でした。
高さは150mがおススメです。

Best entertainment in all of Oahu! We might even go back before we fly back to California it was that good! Impeccable 5 star service, great food and entertainment was top notch. #1 Choice in Waikiki. Don't miss out on the best show! We came on my birthday and we arrived late so we were very stressed that we missed all of the pre show stuff but the staff was prepared for us and managed to accommodate us anyways. The theatre is beautiful and everything from the dining to the stage and theatrical to the singers, dancers and outfits was very high quality. We would definitely recommend this as a top choice for anyone visiting Oahu on vacation!

I have used this service several times. Almost every time, there has been a foreign driver, but I haven't had any issues. This time, I used it from Waikiki to the airport. I was staying at the Ala Moana Hotel, and my flight back was at 12 PM, with a hotel pickup at 9 AM. There was also a foreign couple on board, and they gave a tip when getting off, but we didn't give one since the fare included a tip.

数回利用しています。ほぼ毎回外国人ドライバーさんですが、特に不自由はありません。今回は、ワイキキ→空港を利用しました。アラモアナホテルに宿泊していて、12時の帰国便、ホテルお迎えは9時でした。外国人夫婦も乗っていて、降りる際チップを渡していましたが、私たちは料金にチップ込みとなっていたので渡しませんでした。

We purchased Green Room tickets and the whole experience was wonderful. We were met at a special entrance door by friendly staff and were directed to the back stage area for a tour there. The tour host was a very nice fellow who showed us the entire back stage set up with props, costumes, and lots of other interesting equipment.

We then met Katy Perry (very hot) in the Green Room for champagne and snacks prior to the mean. It was a large First Class room where we spoke to other guests and relaxed with drinks before dinner.

We then proceeded to have dinner and wine right in front of the stage. The lobster and steak dinner was super. Again wonderful service.

The Rock-A-Hula Dinner Show was very enjoyable, especially at the best seats in the house! Elvis was quite good. Katy Perry was even better. Katy looks so much like the real singer it was amazing. The dancers and singers surrounding them were beautiful and wonderful as well.

Then Michael Jackson rocked the house. Of course the dancers with Michael Jackson were amazing as well. Everyone rocked along with them.

The Fire Dancing was also so well done as was the great Hawaiian theme dancing. All the dances were so well choreographed and performed that it was indeed breathtaking.

Everyone had a great time at this wonderful, classy, and professional show. We will go next time again when we are in Hawaii !!! Very recommended to see!!!

There are several shuttles between the airport and hotels. For travelers other than those on tours, this is the most convenient mode of transportation. Among them, Roberts Hawaii operates 24 hours. The Japanese shuttle service does not run during the afternoon when there are no arriving flights from Japan.

This time, I arrived in the afternoon from the Big Island. The pickup at the inter-island terminal was courteous, and there were almost no language issues. Once you find the driver, you just need to tell them the name of your hotel. I highly recommend it.

空港とホテル間のシャトルはいくつかあります。ツアー旅行者以外なら最も利用し易い交通手段です。その中でもロバーツハワイは24時間運行です。日系のシャトルは日本からの到着便がなくなる午後帯からはありません。
今回はハワイ島からの午後着でした。離島ターミナルでのピックアップも丁寧で言葉の問題もほぼありません。ドライバーさえ見つければあとはホテル名を告げるだけです。おススメです。

Parasailing itself was fun and a valuable experience! However, it was disappointing to encounter issues with the reservation time and transportation. (We might have just been unlucky...)

[What was disappointing] The shuttle did not arrive at the scheduled time, and we were left waiting. In frustration, we called the local desk of the travel agency we were using for assistance, and they informed us that "the operator had made a mistake with the reservation time." The time we had booked and nearby times were not available, resulting in us being rescheduled for a session two hours later, wasting our morning. We might have just been unlucky, but I wanted to leave this information for future travelers.

[What was good] Parasailing was a lot of fun! The staff was very encouraging. I wore a swimsuit and did a water splash, but my upper body didn't get wet. So, I think waterproofing clothing isn't that necessary. (Please make sure to put your phone in a waterproof case when taking pictures!) Your feet will get wet, so you should bring a large towel!

パラセーリング 自体は楽しく、貴重な体験でした！が、予約時間や送迎などのトラブルに巻き込まれてしまった事が残念です。(私たちがたまたま巻き込まれたのかもしれませんが…。)
【残念だったこと】予約した時間になっても送迎の車が来ず、待ちぼうけをくらいました。困って、利用していた旅行会社の現地デスクに電話をして仲介をしてもらったところ「業者側が予約時間を間違えていた」とのこと。私たちが予約をした時間や近い時間はNGで、結果2時間後の回に回されて午前中が無駄になってしまいました。私たちがたまたま巻き込まれただけかもしれませんが、今後利用される方々への情報程度に書き残しておきます。
【よかったこと】パラセーリング はとても楽しかったです！スタッフのお兄さんも盛り上げてくれます。水着を着ていき、水ジャポンをしたのですが、上半身は濡れませんでした。なので衣類で防水対策はそこまで必要ないかと思います。(※携帯で撮影する場合は必ず防水ケースに入れてください！※) 足は濡れるので大きいタオルは持くべきです！

I arrived on an ANA flight to Haneda. My destination was a hotel in Waikiki. After completing the procedures, when I reached the waiting area, a staff member placed a shell lei around my neck. Just as I arrived, the bus to the Waikiki hotel came, so I hardly had to wait at all. However, there were some people heading to Ko Olina who mentioned they had been waiting for an hour, so it really depends on luck.

What I appreciated about this shuttle bus was that there were fewer users compared to the major companies, which allowed for a quicker check-in process. The major companies had long lines, and it seemed like it would take about 30 minutes just for check-in. So I will definitely use this service again next time.

ANAの羽田便を利用しての到着でした。行き先はワイキキのホテル。
手続きを終えて、待ち合い場所まで行くと係員さんが貝殻のレイを掛けてくれました。丁度、ワイキキホテル行きのバスが来たのでほとんど待ち時間は無かったです。但し「もう1時間も待っている」と言ってたコオリナ方面の方もいらっしゃたので、本当に運だと思います。
私がこのシャトルバスにして良かったと思ったのは、大手に比べて利用者が少ないので受け付けが早く済んだ事でした。大手は物凄く並んでて受け付けだけで30分くらい掛かりそうでした。なので次回も利用するでしょう。

We were the only Japanese people, but everyone was friendly and talked to us! Even if you can't speak English, you'll manage just fine! Haha. It was my first time parasailing, and the view was absolutely amazing! I have a fear of heights, but I was having so much fun that it didn't bother me at all!

日本人は私たちだけでしたが、みなさん気さくで話しかけてくれました！英語が喋れなくてもなんとかなります！笑 初のパラセイルでしたが、景色は最高過ぎました！高所恐怖症でしたが、そんなことよりも楽し過ぎて気になりませんでした！

I participated in the monitor tour this time, and it was a wonderful experience; I'm really glad I joined! The backstage tour before the show was exciting as we got to see behind the scenes that we usually can't access! They even took photos for us.
The meal was luxurious and very satisfying!
And the show featured the dancers' energetic performances, which were truly impressive!! From hula to impersonation shows, I had a great time, and the time flew by.
I went on the last day of my stay in Waikiki, and it was a fitting way to spend my final night. Thank you very much.

今回モニターツアーで参加をしましたがとても良い経験ができ、本当に参加して良かったです！ショー前のバックツアーでは普段は見られない裏側を見られてわくわく！写真も撮ってくださいました。
お食事も豪華で大満足！
そしてショーはダンサーの皆様のエネルギッシュなパフォーマンスが圧巻でした！！フラからモノマネショーまで、とても楽しめてあっという間の時間でした。
ワイキキ滞在日の最終日に行きましたが最後の夜にふさわしい時間を過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

My boyfriend and I went to this event on the first day of our trip. Our coach is so nice and accommodating. The oxygen tank is heavy and I couldn't really carry it. So he actually carried it for me and helped me wear it when I was in water so it didn't feel heavy haha.
For the next half an hour, we dived around and saw so many small, tropical fishes swimming around us. We saw coral reefs and even a starfish.
It was our first time scuba diving, and our coach is so patient and nice and explained the procedures and things to keep in mind to us in detail. He also answered all the questions I had. He took photos and videos of us scuba diving.
Overall, it was such an amazing experience!

It takes some time to go around the hotels. Since there are two adults and two children in our family, taking a taxi might have been more economical. The driver was a lively person and was having a great time with those who understood English!

ホテルを回るのでそれなりに時間がかかる。我が家は大人2名、子供2名なので、タクシーの方がお得だったかも。
ドライバーさんはノリの良い人で、英語のわかる人達の中では盛り上がってました！

On time, personable, and affordable. Would definitely recommend to Hawaiian Islands visitors.

Before putting on the equipment, I had to take off my clothes that I didn't want to get wet, but I forgot to take them off and it was a bit chaotic. However, I had a great time floating in the sky! It was amazing!!

器具をつけられる前に濡れたくない洋服は脱がなければならなかったのに、脱ぎ忘れててんやわんやしましたが楽しく空を浮遊できました！
最高でした！！

It was the first parasailing experience for my parents in their 50s and 60s. Both of them had great smiles. I regret not being able to give the tip smoothly. I wanted to express my gratitude, so it's a good idea to research the customary amount and prepare it in advance, rather than rushing at the moment.

50・60代の両親にとって、初めてのパラセーリングでした。2人ともいい笑顔が見れました。チップをスマートに渡せなかったのが悔やまれます。
感謝の気持ちを伝えたくて、渡したくなるので、その時慌てるより予め相場を調べて用意しておくと良いですよ。

We were greeted at baggage claim and escorted to the bus. The bus then went to two other areas to pick up other passengers. It was approximately an hour after getting our baggage that we finally left the airport. The driver was very pleasant and friendly. The bus was clean and comfortable.

This was one of my highlights. This is a well-planned thriller for anyone that wishes to get a great view of the waterfront. Safety is paramount, putting everyone at ease. The pleasant banter is great and the staff members are experts in their field. I enjoyed the entire time and got some great shots of the boat and the view. Anyone wanting some adventure without travelling far from the beach - this is a great package!

We flew as a family of three. My son, who just turned five, could only experience this here. It was about a five-minute walk from our accommodation at Hilton Grand Vacations, so the kids were fine without getting cranky. The weather wasn't great, so it was a bit chilly... I thought he might be scared of the activity, but he was super excited (laughs). On the way back, he managed to splash just his feet in the sea :-) I brought a waterproof camera, so I took pictures of the scenery from the sky myself instead of asking someone else to do it. The people who participated with us had someone take their pictures, and they got some quite humorous shots, so I thought I might ask for photos when my younger son is old enough to join.

親子３人で飛びました。
５歳になったばかりの息子が体験できるのはここくらいでした。
宿泊しているヒルトングランドバケーションから徒歩で５分くらいのところだったので、子どももグズることなくよかったです。
天気はあまりよくなかったので、少し肌寒かったです・・・
アクティビティ自体は怖がるかなーと思っていたのですが、大興奮でした（笑）
戻るときにうまい具合に足だけ海ポチャしてくれました:-)
防水カメラを持参していたので、撮影は頼まず自分で空からの風景を撮りました。
一緒に参加した方たちは撮影を頼んでいて、なかなかユーモアのある写真を撮ってもらっていたので、次男が参加できる年齢になったときには撮影をお願いしようかなぁ、と思いました。

After reading the reviews, we decided to participate because it met our travel conditions:
- Activities suitable for three people
- Enjoyable for elementary school children and older adults.

The staff seemed to speak a little Japanese, so there were no communication issues. Everyone on the same boat was Japanese, which created a sense of camaraderie.

On the boat, cheerful music played as we headed out to sea. Each group took turns jumping.

It mentioned to wear swimsuits in advance, but I didn’t have one, so I participated in clothes that could get wet. That was not a problem at all.

During the parasailing, we enjoyed the view of the horizon, Diamond Head, and airplanes from the ocean, with a refreshing breeze making it the best experience! After we got off the boat, we were lucky enough to see a whale swimming at just the right moment! Before the parasailing ended, they let us dip our feet in the water. They adjusted based on the people, and while we only dipped once, a couple went in twice, and a group of male college students got splashed several times, which was entertaining for us to watch.

While we were flying, the staff took many photos. We received the data on an SD card for $30. Considering that in Japanese theme parks, one photo costs 2000 to 3000 yen, this was a bargain!

It was a valuable experience!

口コミをみて、
・３人でもできること
・小学校低学年や年配の人でも楽しめること
という私たちの旅行条件に叶っていたので、参加しました。

スタッフさんは、日本語も少し話せるみたいで、コミュニケーションに問題はなかったです。
同じ船に乗った人たちは、みんな日本人だったので、なんとなく連帯感も。笑

船の上では、陽気な音楽が流れ、沖までいきます。各グループごとに順番に飛びました。

水着を事前に着用してくださいと書いてましたが、私は水着を持ってなく、濡れてもいい格好で参加しました。それでも問題なかったです。

パラセイリング中は、沖から眺める水平線、ダイヤモンドヘッド、飛行機、など景色が楽しめて、爽やかな風が気持ちよく最高の体験でした！
そして私たちは、船に降りてからでしたが、タイミングよくクジラが泳いでるのが見れました！
パラセイリングが終わる前に、海に足が浸かるようにしてくれます。人をみて加減してくれてて、私たちは、一回浸かっただけでしたが、カップルは二回、男子大学生？のグループは、身体まで何回かポチャンしてもらってて、見てる私たちも楽しませてもらいました。
飛んでる間、スタッフさんが写真を沢山撮ってくれます。
S Dカードでデータをもらい、30ドルです。日本のテーマパークで、１枚写真を買うのに、2000〜3000円することを思うと、安い！

貴重な体験ができました！

I used the shuttle bus from the hotel to the airport. The driver was punctual and friendly, but we had to wait quite a bit because a white customer was late at a hotel we stopped at. During the ride to the airport, the driver was chatting with this customer and got distracted while driving, which made me quite nervous.

ホテルから空港へシャトルバスを利用。ドライバーは時間通りで対応もいい方でしたが、途中立寄りのホテルで白人客が遅れ結構待たされた、空港への移動中もドライバーがこのお客さんと雑談で盛り上がって、運転中振替ったりよそ見をするのでヒヤヒヤした。

Due to heavy snowfall, my departure from Japan was delayed by five and a half hours, and I thought it was understandable if my plans were canceled. However, I was welcomed as if nothing had happened and was taken care of. I was very grateful as I was tired, and although it was my first time using the service, I would like to request it again next time.

大雪の為、日本の出発が5時間半も遅れ出口も予定の方に出られずキャンセルされていても仕方ないと思っていたところ、何もなかったように迎えてくれて送っていただけました。疲れていたので非常にありがたく初めて利用しましたが次回もお願いしたいと思いました。

Fun time- would’ve been better with fins in the current. I was assuming a younger child. The turtles were quite the experience. We saw whales during the sail portion. We met fun people. The kids got to play in the water around the boat when they were done snorkeling. The crew was playful but professional.
Overall it was a win!

I was able to move smoothly without waiting on both the outbound and return trips. Although the driver couldn't speak Japanese, I appreciated their polite service.

行も帰りも待たされることなくスムーズに移動できました。運転手さんも日本語は話せないものの丁寧な対応をしてくれてありがたかった。

I used this service before, so I requested it again this time. I also rented a Wi-Fi device, so I was glad to wait a little and arrived at the hotel smoothly.

以前も利用したので今回もこちらにお願いしました。Wi-Fiもレンタルで借りてたので少し待っていただきスムーズにホテルに到着できて良かったです。

We departed from the harbor located further inside the Ala Moana Shopping Center. The staff spoke Japanese, so I felt at ease listening to their explanations.
The 150m parasailing offered breathtaking views!!
As a kind gesture, they let us splash into the sea while being pulled back to the boat from the air. The time spent heading out was also fun, like riding a jet ski.
Thank you very much!

アラモアナショッピングセンターの更に奥にある港から出発でした。スタッフの方は日本語喋れますし、安心して説明を聞けます。
150mのパラセーリングは絶景でした！！
ご厚意で、空から船へ紐を引っ張って戻るとき海にバシャバシャッと付けてもらいました。沖に出るまでの時間もジェットスキーみたいで楽しいです。
ありがとうございました！

We travel by boat from the shore to the open sea and board a submarine. The boat rocks a lot, but the submarine is quiet. The sight of the large schools of fish gathering around the reef is spectacular. While there aren't as many coral reefs as in Okinawa, it's a great experience to have at least once.

浜から沖まで船で移動し、潜水艦に乗艦します。船はよく揺れますが潜水艦は静かです。漁礁に群がる魚の大群は見ものです。沖縄のようにサンゴ礁はいっぱいありませんが一度経験するには最高です

I used this service for round trips between Honolulu and the airport. The $15 per person one-way fare was appreciated for our family of three, and we were happy to use it. We had a 3-year-old, and although it was stated that they could sit on our lap, there was enough space for them to sit in a seat, and since it was quite empty, no one said anything. Naturally, there were no tour-like explanations, and there was only one other group of passengers, so we went straight to the hotel. I think it took about 25 minutes to arrive. I will use this service again.

ホノルルと空港の往復に利用しました。
片道1人15ドルは3人家族としてはありがたく、喜んで利用させていただきました。
3歳児がおり、膝上とのことでしたが、シートに座れる余裕がありシートに座らせていましたが、ガラガラでしたので何も言われませんでした。
当然ながらツアーのような説明会もなく、乗客もたまたま他に1組だけだったのでホテルまで一直線。25分くらいで着いたと思います。
また利用します。

The counter was easy to find from the airport, and it was reassuring to have a Japanese person there. It didn't take much time to get to the hotel, which was helpful.

空港から集合場所まで分かりやすくカウンターは日本人の方で安心感がありました。
ホテルまでもそれほど時間がかからず助かりました。

They arrived on time to pick me up, and I was able to reach the airport smoothly, which allowed me to complete the check-in process with plenty of time to spare! Thank you very much!

時間どうりに迎えに来ていただき、スムーズに空港へ到着できたので、余裕を持って手続きが出来ました！　ありがとうございました！

Last time, we arrived at the hotel very smoothly and quickly, so we requested the same this time... However, there was no one at the desk... After being guided to the car, we had to wait quite a while without any explanation... It's our fault for not understanding English!! So we applied for it!! It was a bit disappointing!

前回はとてもスムーズにスピーディーにホテルへ到着できたので、今回もお願いしたのですが・・・・
デスクには、人がいなくて・・・
で、車の所へ案内していただいた後は、何の説明もなくかなり待たされて・・
英語のわからない私たちが悪いのですが！！なので申し込んだのですが！！
少し残念でした！

I tried parasailing for the first time, and I'm glad I did! It was less scary than I expected, and I was able to enjoy the view from above!

はじめてパラセーリングにチャレンジしましたが、やって良かったです！
思ったより恐くなくむしろ空の上からの景色を楽しむことが出来ました！！
