I had to take a flight to Maui at 8:30, so I requested a pickup. However, regardless of whether it was a domestic or international flight, the pickup was set for three hours prior. I was aware of this from the time of the arrangement, but I felt that with domestic flights, there tends to be quite a bit of time needed after arriving and completing security checks, so it was a bit uncertain whether taking a taxi would have been better. Especially since I only speak English, I thought it might be just as easy to use a taxi.

所用があり8:30の飛行機でマウイ島へ行く事になっていた為、こちらにお願いしたのですが、国内線・国際線問わず、3時間前のピックアップになっていました。それは手配の時からわかってはいたのですが、やはり国内線だと着いて保安検査を終えてからもかなりの時間が発生するので、タクシーにした方が良かったか微妙な感じでした。特に英語のみなので、それならタクシーを使っても一緒かな、と思いました。

Great time! Nice, comfortable ride out with great weather. Crew was very accommodating to our little group. We had someone with special needs, and they worked very hard to make her feel safe, comfortable and happy. !000 foot ride, just perfect! Wonderful memories forever!

The staff was polite, and the view was amazing. I got seasick, but I appreciate the good service I received. I would like to use this service again.

スタッフも丁寧だし、眺めも最高でした。
舟酔いしたけど、良い対応してもらい感謝です。
また利用したいと思いました。

I participated in this tour for my honeymoon! I was a bit anxious because the trolley driver, the tour guide, and all the other participants were from overseas and spoke no Japanese at all. However, once it started, I found that there were Japanese explanations provided, so it all worked out!

It was my first time parasailing, and I was really nervous, but once I took off, the beauty of the sky and the sea was just amazing. I didn't feel scared at all and was able to enjoy it! I did fall into the sea a few times, but that was also incredibly fun.

The time spent on the boat while others were parasailing was also a blast, and we even had the miraculous appearance of a whale, which really boosted our excitement! They offered photo services for an additional fee, but I received a message saying they might have given our photo disk to someone else when we returned to the hotel. After checking, I was relieved to find out it was indeed our disk.

Although there were a few moments of anxiety, in the end, I had an absolutely fantastic time!

新婚旅行でこちらのツアーに参加しました！！
送迎のトロリーの運転手さん、ツアーのガイドさん、ツアーの参加者の方たち全ての方が海外の方で一切日本語が通じず、少し不安でしたが、実際始まってみると日本語の説明書なども用意されておりなんとかなりました！！
初めてのパラセイリングでとにかくドキドキでしたが、絶叫系が苦手な私でも飛び上がってみれば空や海の綺麗さがとにかく最高で、全然怖さも感じず楽しむことが出来ました！！
途中何度か海に落とされたりもしましたが、それもまた最高に楽しかったです。
他の方がパラセイリングを行っている際にボートに乗っている時間も最高に楽しく、奇跡的にクジラちゃんまで登場で最高にテンションが上がりました！！
別料金で写真の撮影などもしてくれたのですが、ホテルに戻ってから他の方の写真ディスクを渡したかもしれないとの連絡・・・確認すると自分たちのディスクだったので一安心でした。。
少し不安になることもありましたが、結果最高に楽しめました！！

The guidance from the airport was unclear, and I couldn't find the staff. I was at the baggage claim properly, but I ended up being left behind. When I communicated this to a staff member who spoke Japanese, I received a response that suggested it was my fault for not being able to find the pick-up staff.

They did manage to arrange a different bus for me, but it was very unpleasant.

On the way to the airport, I also arrived nearly 20 minutes late compared to the scheduled time, which was quite nerve-wracking.

空港からの案内がわかりづらく、係の人が見つけられなかった。こちらはきちんとバゲッジクレームにいたのに。そのため、置いていかれてしまい、日本語が話せる窓口の人にその旨を伝えた結果、「迎えのスタッフを見つけられなかった貴方達が悪い」というような返答をされた。
なんとか違うバスを手配してはもらったが、非常に不愉快だった。

空港へ向かう際も、予定の時刻よりも20分近く遅れて到着し、肝を冷やした。

I was able to see it from a pretty good seat nearby. It was full of excitement and I really enjoyed it. The food was also satisfactory, and I think it's worth experiencing at least once.

結構近くの良い席で見れました。迫力満点で楽しめました。
料理もまぁ満足できる内容で、一度は体験してみてもいいのではないかと思います。

Since my departure was after 1 PM and I wanted to spend as much time in Waikiki as possible, I inquired about a taxi, but I found out that the pickup would be three hours prior. So, I used Roberts. We made one pickup and headed to the airport; this time, there were three groups of five people, and I was the only Japanese. Once again, we arrived smoothly.

出発が１３時すぎの個人手配チケットなので、少しでもワイキキにいたい！と思いタクシーも問い合わせましたが、やはり３時間前のピックアップになることが判り、ロバーツを利用。　１カ所ピックアップし空港へ、今回は３組５人で日本人は私のみ。　今回もスムーズに到着。

It was our first parasailing experience. There is nothing scary at all. You would spend one of the best 10min of your life.

I have been to Hawaii many times, but this time I joined for the first time with a large group of eight, including my spouse, daughter, and grandchildren, thinking it would be easy and fun nearby. The scenery was more beautiful than I expected, and the leisurely time was luxurious... I truly felt this is the way to enjoy Hawaii. With this tour, it's great to join alone, and I want to participate every time I come to Hawaii.

ハワイへは何度もきていますが、今回は夫婦娘孫８名の大所帯でしたので、近場で気軽に楽しめると思い初めての参加申込でした。　期待以上の素晴らしい景色と、贅沢なほどのゆったりした時間…　　　これぞ『ハワイの楽しみ方』と実感しました。　　このツアーであれば、一人での参加もいいし、ハワイにきたら毎回参加したいツアーです。

I'm not a fan of thrill rides, but I decided to join the 150m attraction at my husband's request for our honeymoon memories. The view was amazing, and I had a lot of fun!

The pickup vehicle was supposed to be a colorful car as stated on the reservation, but in reality, it was just a plain blue car, making it hard to identify unless you actively look for it.

If you let them know you're Japanese, you can get the consent form in Japanese. Also, one of the passengers got seasick and vomited, so taking motion sickness medication is a must.

絶叫系アトラクションは苦手ですが、新婚旅行の思い出にと旦那さんのリクエストで思い切って150mに参加。景色も最高で非常に楽しかったです！
ピックアップの車は、カラフルなロゴの入った車と予約票には明記されていますが、実際はただの青い車で自分からアピールしないとわかりにくいです。
車内で記入する同意書は、日本人だと伝えると日本語版が貰えます。
また、同乗した方は船酔いして吐いていましたので、酔い止め必須です。

This is my second time participating. Three years ago, when I joined, we had to carry the surfboards from the shop to the beach ourselves, which was quite heavy and challenging. However, it has improved, and now we only need to transport them from the car parked by the beach to the water's edge! This is much easier.

I signed up for a group lesson, but since there were only two of us that day, it turned into a semi-private lesson, which was lucky. The timing was perfect, and I was able to stand up properly from the first try! The instructor spoke mostly English, but once we were out in the water, we only needed to use commands like "paddle" and "stand," so it wasn't a problem if you didn't speak English. Occasionally, they checked on us in a mix of Japanese, asking things like "Are you tired?" (laughs).

The group doing stand-up paddleboarding at the same time also let us surf towards the end. All the staff were friendly, and I had a great time participating again.

2度目の参加です。3年前に参加した時はサーフボードをショップからビーチまで自分たちで運ばなければならず結構重くて大変だったのですが、改善されてビーチサイドに止めた車から波打ち際まで運ぶだけで良くなっていました！これは楽チン。

グループレッスンを申し込みましたがこの日は二人だけだったので、セミプライベートになりラッキー。タイミング良く波に乗せてくれるので、1回目からちゃんと立つことができました！
担当してくれた方はほとんど英語ですが、沖に出てしまえば「漕いで」「立って」くらいしか使わないので英語が出来なくても問題ないです。時々日本語まじりで「ツカレタ？」などと気遣ってくれました(笑)
同じ時間にスタンドアップパドルをしていたグループも最後の方にはパドルを置いてサーフィンをさせてくれていましたよ。スタッフは皆フレンドリーで今回も楽しく参加できました。

On the night of our wedding in Hawaii, we went with both families! When making the reservation, I was torn between the buffet and the VIP dinner, but since it was both our wedding day and my birthday, I decided to go for the VIP dinner. The food was delicious, featuring lobster, steak, and salmon, all beautifully presented.

During the show, an Elvis impersonator came down from the stage to hug us and even gave us leis. My mother, who is from the Elvis generation, was thrilled with the lei and the hug! He also visited the second-floor seats. The performances by Elvis, Gaga, and Michael, along with the hula show, were all so much fun!

After the show, we were able to take commemorative photos with Elvis, Gaga, and Michael! I even got a signature on a photo I had purchased in advance. When I told Elvis that it was my birthday and wedding day, he congratulated me and gifted me the scarf he was wearing around his neck! Even though he was an impersonator, I felt like I had met the real deal, and it was so exciting (laughs).

It seemed like my family enjoyed it too, and it turned out to be a wonderful night! I would love to see other impersonators next time!

ハワイ挙式当日の夜に、両家家族みんなで行きました！
予約する時に、ビュッフェとVIPディナーと迷ったのですが、挙式当日＆自分の誕生日というのもあって、せっかくならと思い、VIPディナーにしました。
お料理はロブスター、ステーキ、サーモンなど、どれもおいしく、見た目も楽しめました。
ショーでは、プレスリー（のそっくりさん）がステージから降りてきてハグしてくれたり、レイをプレゼントしてくれたりします。
プレスリー世代の母は、レイのプレゼント＆ハグに興奮してました！
2階席にも行ってくれてました。
プレスリー、ガガ、マイケルのステージ、フラショー、全部楽しかったです！
ショー終了後は、プレスリー、ガガ、マイケルと記念写真が撮れます！
私は事前に購入した写真にサインもして頂きました。
プレスリーに今日誕生日＆結婚式だったと伝えると、おめでとうと首にかけていたスカーフをプレゼントしてくれました！
そっくりさんなのに、本物に会ったかのようにテンションあがってしまいました（笑）
家族も楽しんでくれたようで、とってもステキな夜になりました！
今度は他のそっくりさんも観てみたいです！

We had a blast with the Holokai Catamaran. The crew was fantastic, and we saw lots of marine life including whales, turtles, and even an octopus. My only regret is that we didn't have time to book a sunset cruise on this trip.

On the last day of our first trip to Hawaii, my wife, who has a fear of heights, wanted to try this, so we ordered it. The staff were very good and we had a great time. I definitely want to challenge myself to 150 meters next time. The driver who picked us up was funny.

はじめてのハワイ旅行最終日前日に高所恐怖症の嫁がやりたいとの事で注文しました
とても良いスタッフの人達で楽しかったです
ぜひまた今度は150mにチャレンジしてみたいです
送迎の運転手のおじさんが面白かったです

I used to scoff at parasailing, but I listened to my wife's wish to try it and took on the challenge for the first time! It was easier than I thought, and once I was up there, I could enjoy a surprisingly peaceful moment with a view of Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, and the blue ocean all to myself. It was amazing! I definitely want to do it again! But if it were a bit cheaper, I would do it twice a day!

パラセーリングなんて？！ってバカにしていたけどどうしてもやりたいと言う妻の希望をきいて初チャレンジ！思ったより簡単で、いざ上に上がってみればそこからはダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキビーチと青い海を独り占め出来る驚くほど静かひととき。最高！是非またやりたい！けどもうちょい安ければ１日２回でもやるんだけどなあ。

We watched a Japanese video at the shop beforehand and then headed to the beach. It was quite tiring, but since it was a longboard, I managed to stand up and ride the waves properly. Everyone was able to ride the waves. Paddling is extremely exhausting. They lend you rash guards and boots. They also burn the images taken at the shop onto a CD and sell them. If you like them and want to buy, it's a good idea to bring some money.

事前にお店で日本語のビデオを見て、ビーチへ。
結構疲れますが、ロングボードなので何とか立てて、ちゃんと波にも乗れました。
全員がちゃんと波に乗ってました。
パドリングが滅茶滅茶疲れます。
ラッシュガードとブーツは貸してくれます。
お店で写した画像をCDに焼いて売ってくれます。気に入って購入する場合もあるので、お金を持って行った方が良いです。

We got great enjoyment from para sailing.
Crew was absolutely splendid. Instructions
were clear and easy to understand.

It was amazing! The ocean was beautiful, and I really had a great time!! I want to go back and jump again when I visit Hawaii!

さいこうでしたぁー！
海も綺麗だし本当に楽しかったです！！
ハワイに行ったらまた飛びたいとおもいます！

Helpful driver(young man but forgot name..sorry). Mosquito repellent and walking stick. Thought about taking bus, but the last stop is a bit of a distance from trailhead. This shuttle expedites the process. Picked up and dropped off at Waikiki hotel. If you have limited time on the island I would definitely recommend this tour. The hike itself is not overly demanding in dry conditions. Wife and I are in 50's and in so-so condition. I thought this was easier than Diamond Head hike, which wasn't difficult either. Probably an entirely different story if wet and rainy. Get off the beach and experience another aspect of the island. Enjoyed it.

Amazing crew and an amazing time! Would definitely suggest to anyone that wants to try parasailing!

I opted for the Hawaiian buffet dinner and show. The tables for eight are set up outside on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, so you will be seated with others. While enjoying a complimentary Mai Tai, I watched the hula performance by four dancers, and after a while, the buffet began. Well, it was just an ordinary buffet. At $54, I personally recommend dining at a restaurant within the Royal Hawaiian Center and participating in just the show.

The main show was enjoyable. The performances of Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson, even as impersonations, were fantastic. Personally, I found the hula and Tahitian dance more impressive than the impersonations. Since it's a theater, the sound system is good, allowing for a powerful hula performance.

The theater is air-conditioned, so I think it's a good idea to bring a long-sleeved cover-up.

ハワイアンビュッフェディナー＆ショーにしました。
ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4F野外に設置された8人掛けテーブルに詰めて座らせられるので相席になります。無料のマイタイを飲みながら4人のダンサーのフラを見てしばらくするとビュッフェ開始。まぁ〜普通のビュッフェです。
コレに$54となると？？？個人的にはロイヤルハワイアンセンター内のレストランで食事をしてショーだけのプランで参加をオススメするかな。

メインのショーは楽しかったです。
ガガ様やマイケル・ジャクソンはモノマネとは言え素晴らしいパフォーマンスでした。
個人的にはモノマネよりもフラダンスやタヒチアンダンスの方が見応えがあった。
劇場なので音響がいいので迫力があるフラが見れます。

劇場内はクーラーが効いているので長袖の羽織るものは持って行った方がいいと思います。

We requested parasailing, which my husband wanted to do on our honeymoon. A wild guy came to pick us up, and we were all excited to join among the international crowd! The crew was cheerful, and we soared high, experiencing the best views! I forgot to say "drive please" and ended up in the sea, but it was incredibly fun! I want to participate again!

ハネムーンで旦那さんのやりたかったパラセーリングをお願いしました。pick upからワイルドなおじさんが来られ、みんな海外の人の中でわくわく参加しました！クルーの方も陽気で、たかーく上がり最高の絶景を感じれました！ドライプリーズと言い忘れ海に浸かったりしたけど最高に楽しかったです！また参加したいです‼︎

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE, GREAT FOOD AND BEAUTIFUL SHOW. THE PRICE WAS ALSO VERY GOOD WE WERE ABLE TO SEE THE SHOW UP CLOSE. WOULD BOOK THRU VELTRA AGAIN.

I was thrilled to experience it for the first time! It was a wonderful night where I could really see the difference in the quality of the show. As expected, it was top-notch... I've seen various shows, so I could tell right away (*^-^*). I will definitely come back again!

一度体験してみたかったので感激しました！ショーの格の違いが良く解る素敵な夜でした。
さすがに一流ですね…いろんなショーを見たので直ぐわかりました(*^-^*)
またリピします

We travelled with 3 small children. This catamaran sail was amazing. Staff took us to a great spot for turtles and assisted our kids in the water and onboard. After snorkeling we saw whales and dolphins. Relaxed, fun cruise staff went above and beyond highly recommend

It felt like it started and ended somewhat aimlessly. It must be great for children and the elderly.

なんとなく始まりなんとなく終わった感じです。
お子さんとかお年寄りにはとてもいいんでしょうね。

I was excited for my first parasailing experience! Since it was our honeymoon, we decided to try something we wouldn't normally do, and we took on parasailing.

The pickup was in front of the Duke Kahanamoku statue. It might be a bit hard to find? A trolley came to pick us up. It was a flashy trolley with a parasailing design against a blue sky.

As soon as we got on the trolley, we arrived at the sea.

After checking in at the boat dock and waiting for a while, we were taken onto the boat in order based on our parasailing height.

We were given a paper during check-in, so if you show it to someone near the boat, there won't be any mistakes.

Once on the boat, the explanation began right away. They spoke in simple English, which was easy to understand, and there was also a Japanese instruction sheet circulating, so it was fine.

I think the parasailing lasted about 5 minutes per group.

But it was very satisfying! In fact, for first-timers, 5 minutes might be tiring.

When we experienced it, the weather was great and the scenery was fantastic.

Seeing Hawaii from the sky was wonderful.

At one point, they lowered the height and dipped our bottoms in the water.

As first-timers, we were satisfied even at 110 meters!

I enjoy heights and thrilling attractions, but it turned out that my wife isn't very good with heights. She seemed to have fun, though.

As a side note, all four couples who participated with us were mixed-gender couples, and among them, three women, including my wife, got seasick from the boat's rocking instead of from parasailing. It might be a bit tough for those who are prone to motion sickness.

I would love to participate again.

人生初のパラセイリングでワクワク！
新婚旅行だったので普段しないようなことをしようということでパラセイリングに挑戦しました

ピックアップはデュークカハナモク像の前
少しわかりずらい？トロリーが迎えに来てくれます
青空がバックのパラセイリングの写真柄の派手なトロリーでした

トロリーに乗るとすぐに海に到着

船の乗り場で受付を済ませてしばらく待っているとパラセイリングの高度別？で順番に船に乗せてもらえます

受付の際に紙を渡されるので、それを船の近くにいる人に見せれば間違うことはありません

船に乗るとさっそく説明が始まります
簡単な英語で話してくださるのでわかりやすいですが、日本語の説明書も回覧で回ってくるので大丈夫です

パラセイリングは1組ずつで5分ほどだったと思います

が、とっても満足できます！
むしろ初めてだと5分以上は疲れるかもしれません

私たちが体験したときは
天気も良く景色はサイコーでした

空から見たハワイも素晴らしかったです

途中高度を下げてお尻を水面にもつけてくれます

初めての私たちは110mでも満足は出来ましたよ！

私は高いところやスリリングなアトラクションは好きなのですが、嫁は高いところがあまり得意ではないということが今回の体験で判明しました
楽しかったのは楽しかったようですが。

余談ですが今回一緒に参加した4組は全て
男女のカップルだったのですが、ウチの嫁を含め3組の女性がパラセイリングではなく船の揺れで酔っていました
船酔いしやすい方には少し辛いかもしれません

また参加したいです。

I saw a feature on Hawaii on TV that introduced this tour, and I really wanted to participate, so I signed up. All the staff are locals, and they only speak English. It might be nice to view Waikiki from the ocean, but it was a bit different from what was shown on TV, which was disappointing. If you're looking to enjoy a sense of activity, other sailing tours might be better.

テレビでハワイの特集をしているのを見たときに、このツアーを紹介していてぜひ参加したいと思い、申し込みました。スタッフは全員地元の方で、英語しか通じません。沖から宿泊しているワイキキを眺めるのにはいいかもしれませんが、ちょっとテレビで紹介していたものとは違っていて残念でした。アクティビティな感覚を楽しむのであれば、ほかのセーリングツアーのほうがいいかもしれません。

The tour is for everybody. I think it'll be more species but it's a good one to go with children.

We sailed Christmas Day and it was the perfect way to spend the day. The crew were friendly and we had a great sail - well worth the cost
