Waikiki
I was told there would be an English guide, but I wondered if they could understand some Japanese. The person in charge of the pickup was truly English-only! They were cheerful and talked the whole time while driving, but I couldn't understand anything as I'm not good at English...
The explanation for parasailing included simple Japanese like "sit down" along with gestures, so there was no problem.
I felt a thrill at the moment of takeoff, but once I was in the air, I didn't notice the height at all. Maybe I could have gone for 150 meters? When I saw Diamond Head from above, I truly felt that it was a great decision to sign up!
All the other participants were foreigners, and we were passing each other's cameras around to take pictures.
The waiting time while others were flying was quite long, and the sunlight was harsh.
英語ガイドとのことですが、少しは日本語通じるのかな?と思ったら
ピックアップ担当の方は本当に英語オンリー!
陽気な方で、運転中ずっと話しているのですが、英語が苦手な私には
全くわかりませんでした…
パラセイリングの説明は「座って」とか簡単な日本語も含めて、身振り手振りで
してくれるので、問題ありませんでした。
飛ぶ瞬間はドキドキしましたが、飛んでしまえば高さなんてわからないし、
150mにしても良かったかも?
空からダイヤモンドヘッドを見たら、申し込んで良かった!と心底思いました。
私たち以外の参加者は全て外国の方で、お互いのカメラを渡して撮り合い
してたりしました。
他の人が飛んでる間の待ち時間が結構長いので、日差しが厳しかったです。
What an amazing morning, the staff were very friendly & gave very clear instructions... It so was much fun, couldn't believe the wonderful view & was amazed as to how quiet it was up there, we only went 600ft, but that was more than enough... Saw a hammerhead shark, lucky not near our landing spot..lol... & then flying fish as well.... Will definitely recommend this company for future & if we come back we will be there again... many thanks from Australia...
The rocking of the boat until we got out to sea was pleasant, and I was moved by the exhilaration and the beautiful scenery when we went up parasailing. Parasailing is fun no matter how many times you do it. I always wish we could fly for a longer time!
海に出るまでの船の揺れも気持ちよく、パラセイルで上に上がった時の爽快感と景色のよさには感動でした。
パラセイリングは何回やっても楽しいです。
もっと長い時間飛べたらな~といつも思います
Was a really nice and relaxing sail. Everyone was really nice. Snorkelling gear and floatation vests were provided. Packet snacks like chips and candy were provided on board. You just have to pay for drinks (even bottled water). I would suggest bringing your own water.
This was an awesome start to our vacation, we were so impressed with the courtesy shuttle, and when we got there after seeing the boat and arriving previous group we upgraded..well worth it and the photo package was definitly worth it highly reccommend this service
It took a little time for the bus to arrive, but I was able to get to the hotel safely without the hassle of catching a taxi, thanks to being able to communicate in Japanese.
バスがくるまで少し時間がかかりましたが、タクシーを拾う手間もなく、日本語で安心してホテルまで行くことができました。
It was a great day with great friends (and new friends)! We love new snorkel adventures and thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon. The hosts were terrific, and we enjoyed watching them enjoy their job!
Although they weren't Japanese staff, they welcomed us with broken Japanese and smiles! Since there were people from different countries, there was a 10-minute wait due to varying arrival times, but it wasn't a bother. Thank you very much.
日本語スタッフではなかったけど、カタコトの日本語と笑顔で迎えてくれました!
違う国のひとたちも一緒なので、到着時間に差があり10分くらいは待ちましたが苦ではなかったです。
ありがとうございました。
I was riding with American tourists, and I was able to enjoy it without feeling very nervous. If you participate alone, you might need some English skills, so please engage in small talk to keep the atmosphere on the boat pleasant. It will be a great memory.
私はアメリカ人観光客との
ライディングでしたが
非常に緊張することなく楽しめました。
仮に一人参加の方は英語力が必要かも
ボートでの雰囲気を壊さないように
雑談にも励んでください。
いい思い出になります。
It was a short shuttle ride from Honolulu to Waikiki, and the driver was studying Japanese, which made the atmosphere in the vehicle feel very homey. It wasn't just a simple transfer; it turned into a delightful part of the journey. I was able to chat with the other passengers and had a wonderful time.
ホノルルからワイキキまでの短い時間のシャトルですが、日本語を勉強中のドライバーの方で、車内はアットホームでただの送迎でなく、旅の楽しい時間となりました。同乗した方とも会話し楽しいじかんを過ごせました。
Due to the construction of a new hotel on the premises and possible vehicle entry restrictions, I was worried because the shuttle bus didn't arrive for a while. It seems that a group of Chinese tourists and another group of foreigners were communicating cheerfully, which caused a delay of nearly an hour. We departed for the airport right away and, for some reason, only arrived a little late but safely. As expected from the local driver, thank you very much!
敷地内にホテル新築中で車の入場制限がある為なのか、送迎バスが中々来なくて心配でした。同じバスに乗る予定の中国人グループと外人グループが賑やかに連絡したらしく1時間近く遅れて到着。直ぐに空港へ出発し何故か少し遅れた位だけで無事到着。さすが現地ドライバーさん、有り難う御座いました。
It's been a while since I visited Oahu. I usually use it on the Big Island, so this time I used it without hesitation. We were the only Japanese couple, and the rest were older foreign couples, but everyone was very friendly, and the transfer went by in no time. In particular, the foreign driver's loud voice providing information about the surroundings was easy to understand and very helpful.
久し振りのオアフ島。いつもハワイ島で利用させて頂いてましたので今回は迷わず利用させて頂きました。日本人は私たち夫婦のみで後の十数人は年配の外人夫婦でしたが皆さん大変フレンドリーで、あっという間の送迎でした。特に外人ドライバーの大きい声での周辺案内は分かりやすく、とても参考になりました。
It was my first activity in Hawaii. You can see the whole view of Waikiki and feel happy to start the trip. Excited activity. Great photography.
Fantastic time. The turtles so amazing! The crew was friendly and knowledgeable. I loved the sail after the snorkel if we would have had extra days I would have definitely done this again!!
This was a fun and relaxing way to spend an evening.
Great catamaran sail from the Hilton Hawaiian Village. We swam with sea turtles and saw dolphins on the cruise back to the hotel. Great crew. Lunch was just o/k.
Best tour of the trip this time . Walk to the manoa waterfalls, rainy and muddy . Full of fun! Remember to bring the insects repellent. Walking sticks from the tour company really help a lot!
We were originally scheduled for a shared transfer, but we ended up having a speedy private transfer to the hotel. It took about 20 minutes for the shuttle bus to arrive at the airport, but given the price, I was satisfied with it.☆
混載の予定でしたが、たまたま私たちのみの送迎でスピーディにホテルまで送迎いただけました。空港でシャトルバスが到着するまでに20分程度かかりましたが、このお値段なので納得です☆
We did this on the morning of our anniversary, what a way to start off the day!! Flying through the air all your worries just melt away, the feeling is one you cant describe but have to feel for yourself. Would do again without hesitation. Thank you to Hawaiian Parasail for giving our 10yr anniversary a start to remember!
The sunset cruise we set up on the final day of our trip was wonderful. It was a perfect way to wrap up our journey. Watching the scenery while reminiscing about our travels under the sunset was the best. There were a few spots with higher waves, but I think most people would be fine and not get seasick. I would definitely want to do this again.
8日目の最終日にセットアップしたサンセットクルーズ
旅の締めくくりにとてもいいクルーズです。
夕日をあびて旅を回想しながらゆっくり景色を眺めるの最高です。
ちょっと波が高いところもあるけれど、普通の人なら船酔いとかは大丈夫と思います。
これはまた乗りたいです。
It was my second time, but it was my family's first.
From the window, you can see the mysterious underwater scenery.
The explanations are thorough (in English) and really get you excited.
Don't miss the moment when bubbles rise up and you quickly surface.
Make sure to have your smartphone ready.
It's even more fun to capture it on video.
僕は二度目でしたが、家族は初めて。
窓からは不思議な海の底の様子がうかがえます。
説明も丁寧(英語)でテンションを上げてくれます。
浮上の際に泡がぶくぶく上がって海面に急浮上するところはお見逃しなく。
スマホの用意を忘れずに。
動画で撮るとなお面白いです。
Thank you very much for participating in the submarine tour.
We are very pleased to hear that you recommended it to your family.
The sight of bubbles rising and the submarine surfacing quickly is truly mysterious, isn't it?
I believe it's an experience that is hard to come by.
We look forward to your next participation.

The Hans Hedemann Surf School Experience was awesome. I actually surfed on Waikiki waves! What a memory!
The Rock-A-Hula Dinner and Show was a great event. I'm glad we included it in our vacation plans.
We had an awesome experience, especially my wife who was hesitance at first. The crew reassured us that ride would be spectacular and calm. They were right. Great crew! We would totally do it again.
I want to go back to honololo just because this activity
They arrive almost on time, and there is enough space inside the vehicle, so it doesn't feel cramped even with carry-on luggage. The driver greeted me with a smile, which was very nice.
ほぼ時間通りに来てくれるし、車内にも余裕があるので手荷物で持っていても窮屈感がないです。
ドライバーさんも笑顔で迎えて下さり、とても良かったです。
The pickup time was almost perfect, and I was able to board immediately with just my carry-on luggage. I was able to sit comfortably in my seat, and it was very pleasant. I would like to use this service again next time.
お迎え時間もほぼぴったりで、手荷物だけ持ってすぐ乗り込めました。
ゆったりと席に座れ、とても快適でした。また次回も利用したいと思います。
The weather was very nice. We went cruising on a catamaran, and the wind felt really good. After about 30 minutes on board, we arrived at the snorkeling spot and started swimming, where we saw a sea turtle swimming just about a meter away from us. There were also many fish, and the sea was beautiful. There were no other Japanese people besides us...
天気が非常によかったです。カタマランでクルージングしますが、風も非常に気持ちよかったです。乗船後30分くらいでシュノーケルする場所に到着し、泳ぎ始めましたが、普通にウミガメも1mくらいの距離のところで泳いでいたりしました。
魚もたくさんいて、海もきれいでした。日本人は僕ら以外にはいませんでしたが。。。
Fantastic is the word that best describes our experience. The crew was very accommodating and the cruise gave us a good overview of Waikiki, Diamond Head and surrounding area. With the limited number of participants we did not get lost in a crowd as you would on the larger cruise ships and it cost much less. Definitely worth the money. This one gets a FIVE STAR.
The show was fairly good. However, being outdoors, it is affected by the weather. When I went, it started to drizzle, making it hard to enjoy at a leisurely pace. The show had impressive elements, like the fire display, but the food was lacking. Since it's a buffet, everyone lines up at once, and some items run out if you're at the back of the line. The taste was also mediocre, so I feel like once was enough for me.
ショーはそれなりによかった。
が、屋外なのもあり、天候に左右される。私のときは、小雨が降ってきて、ゆっくり楽しむところじゃなかった。
ショーは炎のところなど、見応えはあるのだが、
料理がいかんせん、いまいち。
ビュッフェなので、みな一斉にならび、モノによっては後ろの方だと品切れに。
味もいまいちなので、一度行ったらもういいかな、という感じ。
