The weather was really nice, and the view of Diamond Head and the town of Waikiki from the boat was beautiful and impressive. Check-in started about 15 minutes before, and before boarding, they took group photos in front of the boat, which were sold for $13 or $15 after we got off. The photos were really good, so I purchased one. I participated in the tour at 1 PM, and the captain mentioned that the morning tour saw sea turtles, but we didn't see any turtles; however, we were able to see dolphins. When we spotted the dolphins, the captain chased after them, and it was a lot of fun. There were foreign girls lying on the net at the front, and everyone seemed relaxed. There were two staff members at check-in and two crew members on the boat, but all the explanations were in English. I heard there is a restroom on the boat.

天気がすごくいい日で船からのダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキの町並みはとても綺麗で感動しました。チェックインは１５分前くらいからで、船に乗る前にグループごとに船の前で写真をとってくれて船を降りたあと１３か１５ドルで販売していました。すごくいい写真だったので購入しました。午後１時からのツアーに参加したのですが、朝のツアーでは海がめが見れたとキャプテンが言っていましたが、海がめは見れなかったけど、イルカをみることができました。イルカを見つけるとキャプテンが追いかけてくれてすごく楽しめました。先端のネットの上に寝転がっている外人の女の子たちがいたり、みんなリラックスした感じでした。チェックインのスタッフ二人と船上はクルー二人でしたが説明などすべて英語でした。船にトイレはあるそうです。

I participated in the 1:00 PM tour. It was cloudy on the day, and the color of the sea wasn't great, but once we boarded the boat, it turned into a beautiful sunny day, and the colors of the sea, sky, and scenery were amazing! Among the Asian participants, there was one other Japanese group, one Korean group, and two Chinese groups; the rest were mostly Westerners, and the boat was nearly full. The explanations were all in English, but you can definitely enjoy it! There's no need to worry at all.

The sailing lasted about 90 minutes, and I was moved to see how the color of the sea changed as we went further out. Holding a Mai Tai cocktail, the lively music and the slow pace that you don't usually experience were very pleasant. By the way, the cocktails are $5 each. I would love to join again the next time I go to Hawaii! It’s not an exaggeration to say it was my best memory.

13:00からの回に参加しました。
当日は曇りで海の色もいまいちだったのですが、いざ船に乗り込むと快晴になり
海の色も空の色も景色も最高でした～！
アジア系では日本人は私たち以外に1組と韓国人が1組、中国人が2組、それ以外は
欧米人が殆どでほぼ満席でした。
説明はすべて英語ですが、ズバリ楽しめます！何の心配も要りません。
たっぷり90分ほどのｾｲﾘﾝｸﾞで、海の色が沖に行くにつれて変わっていくのが明確にわかり感動しました。ｶｸﾃﾙ(ﾏｲﾀｲ)を片手に軽快な音楽と普段味わえないゆっくりとした時間が心地良かったです。ちなみにｶｸﾃﾙは1杯5ﾄﾞﾙです。
今度ﾊﾜｲへ行った際もまた参加したい！1番の思い出と言っても過言ではありません。

We went to the venue as a family of four. There were three participants, and I attended as the photographer and videographer. First, the kind staff took the visitors to the practice area by shuttle. Thank you very much. The participating family said they had a great time. However, the practice area was in a shallow coral location, and once they got too caught up in the activity, everyone ended up needing the assistance of the ambulance. If you are a beginner, please remember to always carry a "first aid van." They mentioned they would like to participate again. That's all.

家族４名で会場へ出向きました。参加者は３名で、私は写真・ビデオ係で伺いました。まず親切な方たち(スタッフ)で見学者も海岸の練習場所まで送迎車に乗せていただきました。ありがとうございました。参加した家族は楽しかったと言っておりました。ただ、練習場所が浅瀬のサンゴのある場所で夢中になって陸に揚がったら全員が救急バンのお世話になりました、初心者受講の場合は必ず「救急バン」を忘れずに携帯してくださいね。また参加したいと言っておりました。以上

It was scheduled for the arrival day, but unfortunately, it was canceled due to rain and strong winds. Perhaps because there was no contact person available on-site, we received a message more than two hours after the meeting time. (Before that, I had confirmed with the Japanese staff at the hotel to postpone it, so it was fine.) After that, we kept postponing while watching the weather throughout our stay, and finally, we were able to go ahead on the last day♪

On the day, there were six groups with 12 people, and everyone except us was foreign. They provided various explanations while we were moving by boat, but I was anxious because I couldn't understand English. However, they later gave us a simple explanation in Japanese, so it was okay. Also, perhaps out of consideration, they talked to us a lot, and when they asked, "Honeymoon?" and I replied "Yes," they clearly extended our time in the air longer than for the other people. My husband, who was a bit nervous at first, was very impressed by the view from above.

I thought $30 for the photos was a bit expensive, but I decided to order them. They took pictures with the plane and captured us both smiling and enjoying ourselves, so I think it was worth it. I was extremely satisfied. It was worth waiting until the end without canceling♪

到着日に予定していたけど、生憎の雨と強風で中止。現地で連絡の取れる連絡先がなかったためか、集合時間から2時間以上過ぎて連絡が…。(その前にホテルの日本人スタッフに確認して頂き延期してもらってたので大丈夫でした)
それから、滞在期間中ずっと天候を見ながら延期し続けて最終日にやっと決行出来ました♪

当日は、6組12名で私達以外は皆外人さん。ボートで移動中に色んな説明をしているけど、英語が分からず不安でしたが後で日本語で簡単に説明してくれるので大丈夫でした。また、気遣ってもらってか色々話し掛けてくれて、「ハネムーン？」と聞かれ「はい」と答えると他の人達より明らかに飛んでる時間を長くサービスしてくれました。初めはビビり気味だった主人も、上空からの景色にとても感動していました。
写真も30ドルで少々高いかと思ったけど頼みました。飛行機と撮ってくれてたり二人共笑顔で楽しんでる所を残せたので良かったかなぁと思います。
大大大満足でした。キャンセルせず最後まで待ったかいがありました♪

On April 20th, my whole family took on the challenge. The wind was strong that day, and once we headed out to sea, the boat rocked quite a bit, so I thought for sure someone would get seasick. Fortunately, everyone returned in good spirits. Therefore, I recommend that even those who are somewhat resistant to motion sickness take some anti-nausea medication. However, parasailing offshore was absolutely amazing!

4/20に家族全員でチャレンジしました。
当日は風が強く、沖合に出るとボートがかなり揺れたので、必ず誰かが船酔いすると思いましたが、幸い皆元気に戻って来ることが出来ました。
だから、乗り物酔いに少々強い人でも、酔い止めを飲んでおくことをお薦めします。
でも、沖合いでのパラセーリングは最高に気持ち良かったですよ！

Wish we could have seen more underwater sites. But its the next best thing to snorkeling for those who haven't done it.

So much fun me and my wife did this on our honeymoon and it was a blast doing 600 ft cord

First, it begins with a special treatment where they come to greet us at the entrance. We were the only two, a mother and child, led to the green room. While we were welcomed with champagne and fruits, Lady Gaga in her extravagant costume made her appearance! I was very happy to take a commemorative photo together.

Then, a brother who resembled Ichikawa Ebizō explained the backstage, dressing rooms, and the actual stage to us. However, since it was in English, I only understood about 30% (laughs). We had the opportunity to take photos on stage and even borrowed props and costumes used in the hula for some memorable shots—experiences that we could never have in our daily lives.

Next was dinner at a seat where we could actually watch the show. It was an ultra-premium seat right in the center, at the very front! Every dish was delicious, and I was very satisfied! The staff serving us were cheerful and polite.

The main show had a high level of quality, and my mother, being from the Elvis generation, was thrilled when Elvis kissed her cheek and placed a plumeria lei around her neck. Overall, it was a very satisfying and special night that beautifully colored our last evening before returning home!

まず、最初のエントランスで、わざわざお迎えに来て頂くという特別待遇から、始まります。
グリーンルームに通されたのは、この日、私たち親子の二人だけ。
ウェルカムシャンパンや、フルーツなどでのおもてなしを受けていると、奇抜な衣装のガガ様が登場！！ 一緒の記念撮影は、とても嬉しかったです。
そして、市川海老蔵似のお兄さんに、舞台裏、楽屋、実際のステージなどの説明を受けます。
とはいえ、英語なので、三割くらいしか理解できませんでしたが（笑）
写真なども、ステージの上で撮って頂いたり、フラの際に使われる小道具や被り物などを貸してもらっての写真撮影など、普段では絶対出来ない経験をさせて頂きました。
そして、実際のショーを見る席でのディナー。
ど真ん中の一番前という超特等席です！
お料理はどれもおいしく、大変満足のいくものでした！
給仕して下さる方もにこやかで、丁寧でした。
そして、メインのショーは、みなさんクオリティが高く、特に母は、エルヴィス世代なので、エルヴィスに頬をキスされ、プルメリアのレイを
首にかけてもらって感激していました。
全体的に非常に満足の行く、帰国前の夜を彩る特別な一夜となりました！

The show was a lot of fun. Everyone in it was great. My husband was a little hesitant on going but by the end he was glad we went.

This was a fun activity. The guys who took us out were great. My husband enjoyed this more than I. He gives this 5 stars.

This tour was one that I had the most apprehension. The crew gave use great instruction and made the experience one that we will never forget. I highly recommend to all who visit Honolulu. The takeoff and landing was very smooth and the boat ride was awesome!

I participated with my mother! On this day, the wind was strong, and the weather was rainy and cloudy before sailing.

The wind felt really nice, and the rocking was enjoyable! However, we got soaked in the first half, and when the sun was hidden by clouds in the second half, it was a bit chilly!

I think sailing is the most accessible and fun activity to enjoy in the waters of Hawaii.

母と二人で参加しました！！
この日は風が強くセーリングの前までは雨が降ったり止んだりのお天気でした。

とても風が気持ち良く、揺れも楽しかったです！
しかし、前半びちょびちょになってしまい、後半太陽雲に隠れたときは肌寒かったです！

ハワイの海でのアクティビティ、一番気軽に参加でき、楽しいセーリングだと思います。

The pickup was smooth, and even though not much Japanese was spoken, the guide's response was good.

However, I felt a strong sense of being out of place since everyone around was a foreigner.

I think I would have enjoyed it more if there had been Japanese customers with us.

It seems we were at the highest altitude, but I couldn't really tell while flying (laughs).

I experienced a bit of seasickness, but the view from above was truly spectacular!

We took a lot of photos, and it became a great memory.

ピックアップもスムーズで、日本語はあまり通じないものも、ガイドさんの対応もよかったです。

しかし、周りが外国人ばかりでアウェー感がハンパなかったです。

日本人のお客さんと一緒だったらもっと楽しめたと思います。

私たちが一番高い距離だったみたいですが、飛んでる方はよく分からなかったです(笑)

多少の船酔いはありましたが、やはり上から見る景色は絶景でしたー！

写真もいっぱい撮っていただき、いい思い出になりました。

I've been to Hawaii several times, and I've always wondered about that yacht, but I was finally able to ride it for the first time!

It lasts about an hour and a half, and it's very satisfying. When we go over the waves, the kids get excited by the splashes. It's also a bit moving to be able to look at the cityscape of Honolulu from the sea. If you're lucky, you might see turtles or whales.

When I participated, most of the people were foreigners, but it was fun.

ハワイには何回か来ていて、
いつもあのヨットはなんだと思っていましたが
初めて乗ることが出来ました！

時間的に１時間半くらいですが満足できます。
波を超えるときに波しぶきなど子供ははしゃぎます。
また海からホノルルの街並みを眺めることが出来るので
ちょっと感動します。
運が良ければ亀やクジラを見ることが出来ます。

参加した時は大半が外国の方でしたが面白かったです。

I took my children (1 year old, 3 years old, 5 years old) with me.
We gathered in front of Outrigger Reef, but there were no signs or anything.
You have to show your voucher to a foreigner who seems to be in charge.
All the instructions are in English.
Perhaps due to the season, the other passengers on board were all foreigners besides us.
It was windy that day, and once we went out to sea, we got splashed a lot by the high waves.
It gets cold, so long sleeves are a must.
I think those with small children should consider whether to participate.
Adults will enjoy it!

子供(1歳、3歳、5歳)を連れて行きました。
OutriggerReefの前に集合ですが、特に看板等は出ていません。
それらしき外国人にバウチャーを見せるしかありません。
案内は全て英語です。
時期的なのか、乗船したお客さんも私達以外、外国人でした。
当日は風が強く沖に出ると高波で、水しぶきをたくさん浴びました。
冷えるので、長袖は必需です。
小さい子連れの方は参加を考えた方が良いと思います。
大人は楽しめますよ！

First time parasailing, we did 600 feet and it was a blast! It was nice having music to listen/sing along to while the others were parasailing. Definitely recommend buying the card with the pictures on it. It was cool that Kevin (who was driving the boat that day) had family in Manitowoc, Wisconsin!

It was a refreshing and pleasant experience beyond what I had expected!
It was exhilarating to view Diamond Head and the town of Waikiki from the sky!
Seeing Hawaiian Airlines flying above was also enjoyable, as it felt so close!

My mother, who was initially scared, was completely satisfied and wanted to fly again at 150 meters!

Since taking photos from the boat can result in backlighting, I recommend capturing video instead!

思っていた以上に清々しく気持ちがイイ体験でした！
ダイアモンドヘッドとワイキキの町を空から眺めて爽快でした！
上をハワイアン航空が飛んで行く様も、ジェット近い！と楽しめました。

怖がっていた母も、もう一度飛びたかった！と大満足の150mでした！

写真はボートから撮ると逆光になるので、ビデオがお勧めです！

This was an amazing Thing. The 2 guys operating the boat were great. They took a lot of pics and got probably the $$ shot of the year withplane in the Background. If they ask if you wanna get wet...DO IT. They dipped us in the water 3 times and drug us a Little bit which was AWESOME!!! When I come back I will do it at least twice.

What a rich experience it was to go on a yacht cruise. On top of that, the snorkeling tour was a great value for the price. Although I couldn't speak any Japanese, I managed just fine with gestures. The captain and the staff who assisted with snorkeling were friendly and pleasant.

なんともまあ、リッチな気分でヨットクルーズ。おまけにシュノーケリングツアーまでついてコスパ的に申し分なしですよ。
日本語は全く通じないけど、身振り手振りでどうにかなります。キャプテンもシュノーケリングのお世話をしてくれるスタッフもフレンドリーで感じがよかったです。

During dinner, they performed songs and hula right in front of us. The singing was amazing, and I still remember it clearly; I became a fan. The man doing the hula was really cool (laughs). The concert venue was surprisingly small, so it was great to see the stars up close. The photo session afterward was also nice, as I could take pictures with my favorite people, making it a wonderful memory.

ディナー中、目の前で歌やフラを披露してくれました。
歌もすごく良くて、今でもはっきり覚えていてファンになりました。
フラをしている男の人がかっこよかったです(笑)
コンサート会場は意外と小さいので、スターがよく見えて良かったです。
終わった後の写真撮影も、好きな人と撮れるので良い思い出になりました。

I participated in the 3:00 PM session. The other participants were all foreigners. The staff couldn't speak Japanese, but they showed us a paper with explanations in Japanese, which was reassuring. They also took photos during the parasailing, and you can buy a CD-R with those photos for $30! Speaking of dry riding, you can choose a ride that doesn't involve splashing into the sea, so since we were cold and our bodies were freezing, we opted for dry riding. The staff was very energetic and it was a lot of fun! The ride time was long, and we really enjoyed it!

15:00〜の回に参加しました。
参加者が私達以外外人さんでした。
スタッフの方は日本語NGでしたが、ちゃんと日本語の説明書いてある紙を見せてくれるので安心です。
パラセイル中の写真もとってもらえて、30ドルでその写真が入ったCD-R買うこともできます！
ドライライディングと言えば海にばっしゃんされないライドも選べるので寒くて体が冷え切っていた私達はドライライディングを選択しました。スタッフさんはとてもテンション高くて楽しかった！ライド時間も長くて楽しめました☆

My daughter and her husband went parasailing, and I rode as an observer. The boat captain and another person were both Caucasian, but they explained things in broken Japanese, which made me feel at ease. Next time, I want to try it myself.

娘夫婦がパラセイリングをして、私はオブザーバ（見学者）として乗りました。
ボートキャプテンともう一人は白人の方でしたが、片言に日本語で説明してくれていたので安心できました。
今度は自分が体験してみたいと思いました。

The weather was great, and it felt wonderful to have a panoramic view of Waikiki and the ocean from a high vantage point. It was very enjoyable! I thought being pulled by the boat would be fast and scary, but it was actually a very graceful experience. It was the best. Although they don't speak Japanese, they handled boarding and disembarking smoothly.

However, I felt that adding $30 for photos on top of the price was a bit steep. A friend who used another parasailing tour mentioned that they were able to take pictures with their own camera, so I was a bit disappointed about that. (But after seeing other people's posts recommending the photos, I regret not buying them...)

天気がよく、高いところからワイキキと海を一望できてとても気持ちよく、楽しかったです！！
船で引っ張られるので、速くて怖いのかと思っていましたが、全然そんなことはなく、とても優雅な時間でした。最高です。日本語は通じませんが、乗り降りはスムーズに対応してくれます。
ただ、この値段で写真にプラス３０ドルというのはちょっとお高めかなと。
他のパラセイリングツアーを利用した知人は、自分の持っていったカメラで撮影することができたと言っていたので、その点はちょっと残念でした。（でも他の方の投稿を見ると写真もおすすめと書いてあるので、買えばよかったなと後悔してます...）

My partner and I did the 1200ft, we are so happy we choose the longer one because the couple that went before us only did a short one and wished they spent a bit more money for the longer one. We had the best time! Everyone we dealt with (driver to location, boat crew etc) were all lovely and made sure we had a good time. We def recommend to everyone and we would do it again :)

On my first trip to Hawaii, I chose parasailing to experience something truly Hawaiian. He has a fear of heights, and I'm not a big fan either, so we initially talked about going for 45 meters, but we decided to challenge ourselves and go for 90 meters instead.

We were both nervous before flying... At that time, there were only us and a foreign couple, and without any discussion, we were the first to take off. Before flying, we were offered to take photos for $30, with an explanation that they would give us an SD card. Of course, we agreed.

While we were flying, we were both scared and kept laughing, and maybe because of that, we were swung around quite a bit, and towards the end, there was an unexpected dip into the water that we hadn't requested. The foreign couple on the boat seemed to be flying normally, and they were kissing multiple times, looking quite relaxed. The girl managed to shake her head to refuse the dip just before she was about to fall, so she didn't end up in the water.

Regarding the photos, both of us are DSLR users, so we were a bit disappointed. It was understandable since both the boat and we were shaking, but I thought the full auto setting could have been a bit better... It felt like there were very few decent shots. Maybe we were just being tossed around too much.

All in all, despite being scared, I think we had a great time. Perhaps because there were only two couples, our time in the air was really long!

初めてのハワイで、ハワイらしいことをしようとパラセーリングを選びました。
彼は高所恐怖症で、私もそこまで好きでは無いので最初は45Ｍにしようと話していましたが、せっかくなので90Ｍでチャレンジしてきました。
飛ぶ前から二人とも緊張・・・
私たちと外国人カップルしかそのときはおらず、有無を言わさず最初に私たちが飛ばされました。
飛ぶ前には写真を30ドルで撮って、ＳＤプレゼントと説明ありました。
もちろんお願いしました。
飛んでいるときは二人ともビビってずっと笑っていて、そのせいか、楽しんでいると思われてぐわんぐわん振り回されたり、最後のほうにはお願いしていない海ボチャもありました。
ボートが一緒だった外国人カップルは普通に飛んでいるだけで、外国人カップルは何回もキスして余裕そうでした。
海ボチャも彼女が落ちる寸前に首を振って拒否していたのでギリギリで水には入っていませんでした。
写真については私も彼も一眼レフユーザーということもあり、すこしがっかりしました。
ボートも私たちも揺れているからしょうがないのですが、フルオートにしては少し下手では・・・と思ってしまったり。
まともに写っていうのが少ないように感じました。
私たちが揺らされすぎだったのかもしれませんが。

なんだかんだでビビりながらもすごく楽しめたと思います。
2組しかいなかったせいか、滞空時間もすごく長かったです！

Since I saw it during a trip to Hawaii, I've always wanted to try parasailing. This time, the whole family decided to challenge the 150m flight time. My aunt, who was saying how scary it was, ended up satisfied, thinking that at 90m, with just 3 minutes, she wouldn't have had the chance to enjoy the view and would have to come down scared.

I felt so good that while being pulled up in the air, I arched my back to check the horizon!

By chance, I got to try it a second time, and when I raised my hand first, my mother seemed to want to fly too and was feeling regretful. I highly recommend the 150m!

以前ハワイに行った時に見かけて以来、一度体験してみたかったパラセーリング。
今度こそは！と家族全員、滞空時間が長い150mにチャレンジ。
怖い怖い！と言っていた叔母も、90mだと3分だから逆に怖いまま、景色を見る余裕なく降りるしかなかったかもね....と満足。
私は気持ち良すぎて、空の上から釣られながら、背中をそらせ地平線を確認してしまいました！

そして、偶然にも二度チャレンジ出来ることになって、一番に手をあげたら、母も飛びたかったみたいで、悔しがってました(^^;;
150mがオススメです！

The weather was great, and when we floated up, it was truly breathtaking! The beach and the view were absolutely stunning! It was a floating experience where we could feel the pleasant Hawaiian breeze all over our bodies. The three of us floating in the sky exchanged joyful smiles! When we fell into the sea, we were surprised and laughed out loud! Thank you for the wonderful memories.

天気良く^ ^フワッと上昇したときは圧巻でビーチ＆ヘッドも、まさに絶景！心地よいハワイの風を全身で感じながらの浮遊体験でした。空に浮く3人は顔を見合わせ快感スマイル^ ^‼ 海に落とされたときはドヒャヒャッ!とビックリ。楽しい思い出ありがとうございます。

I danced together with my 3rd-grade daughter and my 77-year-old grandmother. The ascent (probably about 50 meters?) was super fun, but I was scared at 120 meters. My daughter said she was scared too, but my grandmother was "so much fun!!" and was very happy. For those with a fear of heights, the lower ones might be more enjoyable.

I was told the photos would cost $30, and there was a sign on the boat saying "tips are not included..." so when I handed over the money including a tip, they returned the change saying, "You don't need to tip."

The staff were foreigners and didn't understand much Japanese, but they were very kind, which was great.

小学3年の娘と77歳のおばあちゃんと3人一緒に舞いました。
上がっていく過程の（おそらく50メートルくらい？）は超楽しかったですが、120メートルは私は怖かったです。
娘も怖かったと言ってますが、おばあちゃんは「最高に楽しい！！」と大喜びでした。
高所恐怖症の人は、低めの方が楽しいかもしれません。
写真を頼んで30ドルと言われ、ボートに「チップは含まれておりません。。。」という紙が貼ってあったので、チップ込みでお金を渡したら、「チップは要らないです」とおつりを返してくれました。

スタッフさんは外国人の方で日本語はあまり通じなかったけど、とても親切で、良かったです。

We had a great time. There were sea turtles everywhere. We really enjoyed lounging in the nets during the sail portion. Thanks!
