I personally have no problem with roller coasters, but I screamed a lot during this parasailing. The height was much higher than I had imagined, and the view was really great. They take a few photos for about $25 on the boat, so I definitely think you should have them take your pictures (you'll get the film).

私自身、絶叫マシーンはぜんぜん大丈夫なのですが、このパラセイリングはとても絶叫しました。
高さも想像していたよりもかなり高く、景色も非常によかったです。
船内で25ドルくらいで写真を数枚撮ってくれるので、絶対に撮ってもらったほうがいいと思います。（撮影したフィルムをもらえます）

Kids (aged 14 and 15) went up while my 11 year old and I rode along. Seas were a little choppy, but not horrible, yet I still got a little motion sickness. The crew took awesome care of me and showed genuine concern. They took nice photo's of the experience (not of me, thanks) for the kids to enjoy. Huge success for the kids, but if you think you might get the least bit of a queasy stomach, take a pill before boarding! :)

There are few participants from Japan, and Japanese is not widely understood, but it's incredibly fun. The crew is all nice guys, and sailing feels great. I want to use this again on my next trip.

日本の参加者は少ないし、日本語はあまり通じないですけど最高に楽しいです。
クルーはナイスガイばかりだし、セーリングはとても気持ちがいいです。
また次回の旅行でも利用したいです。

My 15 year old son and I had an awesome time and would love to go again! Everything went well, from the online registration to on site check in to the parasailing itself. What really made the trip for us were the two guys that ran the show. They were friendly, polite and put you at ease right away. They totally made the experience. We got the photos and are so glad we did - they turned out great and captured the experience even better than we hoped.

The boater was kind of rude because he intentionally indirectly exaggerated on tips. I thought I paid enough for the ride but well..

I was really scared to do this but my 14 year old son wanted to try it. The staff is so friendly and helpful, and professional with the equipment. They are also really funny and nice. They tell you exactly what you need to do. It was fabulous! We had the best time, and loved the experience. The crew is great. They will even take pictures for you for an extra fee of $15 (you take the film home.) Don't forget to bring money for a tip. You don't really need the extra towels, change of clothes, and you can buy water there. If I return to Hawaii I will do this again!

I can't dive, but I wanted to see the underwater world, so I participated. (10 AM session: Japanese guide available)

During the transfer to the submarine on the shuttle boat, there was an announcement saying, "It will be rocky today," but it was fine. (My mother, who was with me, got a little seasick.) If you're worried about seasickness, it might be a good idea to take medication in advance. (Medication is also available for purchase on the shuttle boat.)

The inside of the submarine was more spacious than I expected, and it was comfortable without feeling cramped. (The floor might be a bit cold?) Unfortunately, we didn't see any sea turtles, but we were able to see many fish living among the reefs, the wreckage of an airplane, and a sunken ship. Even my mother, who got seasick, was moved by watching the fish swim around.

I'm glad I participated in this tour! I will definitely sign up again when I travel to Hawaii!

ダイビングは出来ないけど、海の中が見たくて参加しました。（１０時の回：日本語でのガイド有り）

シャトルボートで潜水艦まで移動の際「今日は揺れます」とアナウンスがありましたが、大丈夫でした。（同行の母は軽く酔ってしまいましたが）
船酔いに心配な方は、前もって薬を服用した方が良いかもしれません。（薬はシャトルボート内でも販売しています）

潜水艦内は思っていたより狭くなく、圧迫感もなく快適でした。（足元が少し寒いかも？）
残念ながら海ガメは見れませんでしたが、漁礁、飛行機の残骸、難破船を棲み家にしている沢山の魚たちを見る事ができました。船酔いしてしまった母も魚が海中を動き回る様子を見て感動していました。

このツアーに参加して良かったです！
またハワイ旅行する際には必ず申し込みます！

One of the most enjoyable activities that we did while we were in Hawaii! My eight year old daughter loved it and wants to go again. The boat crew was fun and very safety conscience. Highly recommended for everyone: Don't miss out!

My daughter and her friend parasailed and my husband and I were observers. The girls had a great time and the staff was great! This is the second time we have used Extreme Parasailing and we would definitely use it again. I highly recommend them if you want to parasail in beautiful Oahu!

This was the biggest challenge of my trip as someone with a fear of heights. Until it was my turn, I was so scared that I felt like crying. However, once I took off into the sky, I was moved by the beauty of the scenery that I could never see from the ground. I'm glad I decided to try it. Also, the staff was good and didn't insist on tips.

高所恐怖症の私の、今回の旅最大のチャレンジでした☆
自分の番になるまでは、怖くて怖くて泣きだしそうでした。
しかし、いざ空へ旅立つと、地上からは決して観ることのできない景観の美しさに感動しました。
思い切ってTRYして良かったと思っています。
また、チップもしつこく要求されなくてスタッフの対応もGOODでした(*^。^*)

I went on a trip with my family to Hawaii for our wedding ceremony, and my sister insisted on doing parasailing as a memorable experience, so I decided to join. To be honest, I’m really not good with roller coasters and had no idea what to expect, so I was extremely nervous.

On the day of the event, I was anxiously waiting, but the pickup was delayed by about ten minutes, which made me uneasy.

We got on the boat and headed out to sea, wearing life jackets... and then it was our turn!!!

However, with every rise into the sky, my anxiety disappeared, and I felt an incredible sense of joy and excitement!

It was the best feeling. I chose the standard course, but I think I would have enjoyed going higher.

If my sister hadn’t invited me, I probably wouldn’t have had this experience in the future, so I’m really glad I did it.

I would definitely want to do it again if I have the chance.

ハワイに挙式を兼ねて家族と旅行にいくので、
思い出にと妹がどうしもしたいというパラセイリングを
しようと決意して参加しました。
実は、ジェットコースターが大の苦手でどんなものか
わからずものすごいドキドキしていました。

当日、ドキドキしながら待っていてもなかなか迎えが
こなくて不安でしたが１０分くらい遅れて迎えにきて
くれました。

ボートで海に出てライフジャケットを着て・・
着た~あたしたちの番が~!!!

でも、不安が空に上がるたびに消え、
すご~い！めっちゃ楽しい！という気持ちに変わりました。

気分は最高でした。
スタンダードコースにしましたが、もっと高くでも
よかったと思いました。

妹に誘われなかったら、この先たぶん
することもなかった体験ができてすごくよかったです。

また機会があれば絶対にしたいです。

I participated with my parents in their 70s and my family, a total of six people. I was worried about my father, as he has weak legs, when boarding the submarine, but my husband supported him, and he was able to get on. We were also able to see a large sea turtle, and my 4-year-old son was very happy. The staff were very kind, and it became a wonderful memory.

70代の両親と家族、全部で6人で参加しました。父が足が弱いので、潜水艦に乗り込む時が心配でしたが、主人がサポートして、乗り込むことが出来ました。大きな海亀も見ることが出来、4才の息子も大喜びでした。スタッフの方もとても親切にしてくださり、楽しい思い出になりました。

I participated with my middle school daughter and our family of three. I was quite worried about our physical stamina, but once we decided to join, the instructions were very kind and easy to understand, which quickly dispelled my anxiety. It was definitely a plus that everything was conducted in Japanese. Our whole family was able to stand on the board, and we even had a video taken. It became a wonderful memory for our family.

中学生の娘と家族３人で参加しました。
体力的にも、だいぶ心配がありましたが、
思い切って参加してみると、とても親切にわかりやすく
説明していただけて、不安もすぐに吹き飛びました。
やはり、日本語で出来たのが良かったです。
家族全員ボードに立つことができ、ビデオも撮影してもらえました。家族の良い思い出になりました。

In the morning, I participated in a session with Japanese support. It seems that the waves were rough that day, and many people experienced seasickness on the boat ride to the submarine. However, once we submerged, the swaying eased, and I was able to observe the precious ecosystem off the coast of Waikiki, which was satisfying.

午前、日本語対応の回に参加しました。当日は波が荒かったようで、行きの船から潜水艦へ乗り込むまでに船酔いに遇われた方が多かったようです。それでも海中に潜れば揺れは和らぎ、ワイキキ沖の貴重な生態系を観察することができ、満足です。

Hi were posting another review. Book this activity!!!!!! You'll have such an awesome time. The shuttle ride the staff, and the location is great. Couldn't ask for a better time.

A close friend and I decided that we would each pick an event while visiting Oahu for 5 days. She wanted to do something under the ocean, and I wanted to do something OVER the ocean. After our parasailing trip, we both were AMAZED at how much fun and relaxing it was.

The staff were extremely helpful and comforting when it came to loading/unloading passengers, and they asked everyone if they wanted a brief "dip" towards the end of the flight. (You never get fully submerged in the ocean with the 'dip' but just get a little wet from the waist down.. it is WORTH IT). Everyone on the boat had a blast and on our way back to shore it started pouring rain.. which I LOVED. It was the epitome of a Hawaiian vacation. 82 degree weather and pouring rain with a rainbow.

As for the flight itself, it was extremely relaxing and the views were spectacular. I wouldn't have originally thought that flying 42 stories high would be soothing, but it was. VERY romantic idea for couples.

Overal

Thank you so much for my surfing experience! Four days was definitely not enough for me and I miss it already. You all were so kind and helpful. This was, by far, the best surfing experience I've had in all my attempts to learn. Because of that, I'm planning on picking up some classes out here in California once the weather gets better. So hopefully by the time I return next year, I'll be on a much smaller board =). You guys are awesome!

My two hours with Mito were such a highlight of my time on Oahu I am telling lots of people who are going to the islands that this is a "must do" activity. We had so much fun together and I actually was able to stand, sort of. I have balance problems and thought this was something I would try and enjoy, no expectation of success. I am still not the best in the balance arena, but I did stand on two feet without hands--an accomplishment for me and a credit to Mito's skill as a teacher.

Awesome Awesome Awesome. We would do this again. I would highly recommend this activity.

I am learning hula, so I definitely wanted to see an authentic hula and Polynesian show, so I made a reservation☆

The dance was sexy, elegant, and cool, but I felt like the wait time before the show started was a bit long...

I wondered if it could be done with a shorter wait time.

私はフラを習っているので、是非一度本場のフラ＆ポリネシアンショーを見たくて予約しました☆

ダンスはセクシー＆優雅＆かっこよかったですが、ショーが始まるまでにの時間が長かったように感じます。。

もう少し待ち時間なくできないのかと思いました。

My girlfriend and I truly enjoyed the actual activity even if it was shorter than adverstised. We booked the Deluxe Parasailing which is supposed to last from 8-10 minutes and it only lasted less than 6 minutes...That I can live with, what I truly find upseting is the fact that the tour guide decided to make several political comments about Arizona's illegal immigration laws, and the governement. Regardless of where you stand on certain political issues; individuals representing Xtreme Parasailing should keep in mind that they're providing a fun and hospitable environment for their customers, expressing your opinion on a hot button political issue can create disagreements and while debating is the foundation of democracy, parasailing is certainly the wrong place and the wrong time to do it. I can speak for about 3 additional individuals who shared similar comments once the ride was over.

This was a blast! Also, the crew knows exactly where to go to find tu
rtles - we saw at LEAST a dozen! Then, after everyone was finished snorkeling we went for a sail and had cocktails (the Onolicious is awesome). The crew was wonderful - Thanks Captain John & Rabbit!!!

I participated with a friend.
Besides us, there was one couple and a group of four, all of whom were foreigners.
At first, they explained everything in English really quickly, and I couldn't understand what they were saying, but when it was our turn, they explained it in broken Japanese, so it was fine.
Once we were up, all we could hear was the sound of the wind.
It felt incredible to be floating in the sky.
The view was amazing!!
I couldn't participate much in the conversation since I don't speak much English, but when my friend got seasick and I told the staff, everyone else was worried too.
One girl in the group of four was really scared and kept saying, "I don't want to do this!!!" until the last minute, but we all encouraged her, and in the end, it seemed like she had a lot of fun.
I saw in reviews that it was better to have photos taken ($15), so I requested it.
I'm really glad I did!☆

友人と２人で参加しました。
私たち以外は、ご夫婦１組と、４人組のグループで、
全員外国人の方でした。
なので、最初ばーっと英語で説明してて、
何言ってるのかわかんなかったんですが、
私たちの番になったら、片言ですが日本語で説明してくれて、
問題ありませんでした。
あがってからは、風の音しかしません。
空に浮いてる感じがなんともいえません。
景色も最高です!!
あまり英語が話せないので、会話にはちょっとしか参加できませんでしたが、
私の友人が船酔いしてしまい、スタッフにそれを伝えたら、
他のみんなも心配してくれてました。
４人グループ内の１人の女の子も、
ぎりぎりまで「やりたくない！！！」
と、かなり怖がっていましたが、みんなで励まして、
結局はかなり楽しかった様子で帰って行きました。
口コミで、写真($15)は撮ってもらったほうがいいと
皆さん書かれてたので、頼みました。
ほんと撮ってもらってよかったです☆

The charm of this tour departing from Outrigger Reef on the Beach is that it starts from Waikiki Beach. The morning meeting time is early, but I think it's still manageable.

On the day of the tour, it was windy and the waves were high, but we were able to see various fish and even sea turtles while snorkeling. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any dolphins. Still, it was a relaxing and enjoyable tour.

Also, when we participated, there were zero Japanese people. It's a rare tour where you can truly feel like you're on an overseas trip. The explanations were in English and included some humor, which I couldn't fully understand, but the captain was kind enough to explain slowly using just a few words for us.

Since the tour ends in the morning, you can participate in other tours, go shopping, or relax on the beach in the afternoon, making it a meaningful way to spend the day.

It was a recommended tour for going with friends and having a great time together.

アウトリガー・リーフ・オン・ザ・ビーチより出るこのツアーの魅力はワイキキビーチから出発ということです。
朝の集合時間は早いですが、それでも楽だと思います。

当日は風が強くて波も高かったですが、シュノーケリングでは色んな魚、ウミガメにも会えました。
残念なのは、イルカに遭遇できなかったこと。
それでものんびり楽しめるツアーです。

また、私たちが参加した時は日本人ゼロ。
「海外旅行に来た」と味わえる珍しいツアーです。
説明なども英語で笑いを取っていたようですが、理解できなかったりもしましたが、キャプテンは私たちには単語のみでゆっくり説明してくれる親切な方でした。

午前中に終わるツアーなので、午後からは他のツアーに参加したり、ショッピングに行ったり、ビーチでのんびりしたりもできるので、1日を有意義に使えると思います。

友達みんなでワイワイ行くのにオススメのツアーでした。

Surfing was awesome!!! It was really great. However, I was sore all over for a week afterward...

サーフィンさいこーーーーー！！！
とてもよかったです。
けど、終わった後一週間は全身筋肉痛。。。

The artificial reefs are arranged to attract fish properly, and I was able to see various fish and sea turtles without getting bored.

ちゃんと魚が集まるように、漁礁が配置されており、飽きることなくいろんな魚や海ガメが見れました。

My six year old daughter surfed! We all did! We all got up and we have the videotape to prove it! This was our first activity on our first day and it set a trend of quality that stayed throughout our trip. These surfers are great teachers, assistants, advisors, helpers, and just plain nice.

I can't recommend anywhere more than this school.

The kids loved it. The ride out was fun, we saw several sea turtles swimming alongside the boat. The staff were friendly and helpful. My wife was slightly disappointed that the shipwrecks were all planted by Atlantis, but there were many more varieties of sealife than I expected. Overall, we all enjoyed it. This was our most expensive activity, but I am glad that we included it. We were on the larger, newer sub and the viewing ports were better than anticipated. My kids, ages 6 to 16, all enjoyed it.

I participated on the last day of my stay. I took part in various activities, but this one felt the most Hawaiian. The waves weren't too high, and the surface of the water felt very close, which was pleasant! The staff were also very kind and accommodating.

滞在中の最終日に参加しました。他のアクティビティにもいろいろ参加しましたが、一番ハワイらしかったような気がします。波もそれほど高くなくて、海面がすぐ近くに感じられて気持ちよかったです！スタッフの方にも親切に対応していただきました。

We gathered at 2:30 PM and departed at 3 PM! We were told to be punctual, but when I rushed in at 2:30, I got a Hawaiian response: "Oh, just sitting on the beach." It made me feel the pressure of time that Japanese people often experience.

We left a little after 3 PM and enjoyed about an hour of fun. At first, we started the engine to set sail, but once we were out at sea, we raised the sails and let the wind take us. The views of Hawaii were a different experience compared to the scenery seen from larger boats during whale watching. On the yacht, various cocktails and beers were available, and enjoying a drink while feeling the sun and wind was incredibly refreshing! We ventured further out than I expected and enjoyed a panoramic view of Honolulu. I definitely plan to participate again on my next visit to Hawaii.

Considering that the day after we boarded, the tsunami from the Chile earthquake prevented access to the sea, we were very lucky.

２時半集合、３時出発！　時間厳守！　との事でしたが、２時半に走って行ってら「あ。ビーチで座っていて~」　っとハワイアンな答えが！　ついつい時間に追われてしまっている日本人を感じてしまいました。
３時過ぎに出発し、約１時間程　楽しませてもらいました。
最初はエンジンをかけて出航していましたが、沖に出ると後は帆を張り風まかせ。　ホエールウォッチングなどの大きな船から見る景色とは、また一味違う　ハワイの景色を楽しませてもらいました。　ヨット内では、数種類のカクテル、ビールが販売されていて、太陽＆風　を感じながらのアルコールは格段に美味しい♪　思ってたよりも沖に出てホノルルの景色を一望して楽しませてもらいました。　次回のハワイ訪問時にも　是非　参加させてもらう予定です。
私たちが乗船した翌日は、チリ地震の津波で海に近寄れなかったのを考えると、とっても運が良かったのかも。
