Waikiki
We had the best adventure. After seeing so many other cruises going out looking crowded and rushed we were a bit concerned.
Turned up at 8.30, check in process easy and efficient =)
Great weather, even better staff.
And best of all plenty of space for all on the catamaran. We were blessed with a small group.
Short cruise out and we were already spotting turtles.
All our equipment checked, help given if needed and off we went. 2 hours of watching dozens of green sea turtles in their natural environment. AMAZING!!
having Zac in the water with his trusty surf board gave everyone a great sense of ease.
On our tour was a gentleman who didn't feel to sure in the water but the boys went out of their way to get him an extra floatation buoy and stayed close til he felt more comfortable.
I would recommend Ruski (?) and Zac and the Mana Kai tour to anyone who asked.
It was close to Waikiki, simple, and very good. This was my second time parasailing in Hawaii. Previously, I did parasailing combined with snorkeling at Hanauma, but I was disappointed because the instructor there was of Chinese descent and quite indifferent. This time, I felt it was very good.
ワイキキからも近くシンプルで非常に良かったです。
ハワイでは2度目のパラセーリングになりました。
以前 ハナウマシュノーケルとセットのパラセーリングをしましたが ハナウマのインストラクターが中国系の人で素っ気なく残念な思いをした分 今回は 非常に良く感じました。
Beginners can ride too! As mentioned, I was able to ride. Jimmy, who taught me, explained everything clearly. The staff also engaged in conversation, helping to ease my nerves. After changing, we took photos and played games, which was a lot of fun. I highly recommend it!
初心者の方も乗れます!の通り、乗れました。
教えてくれたジミーさんがわかりやすく教えてくれました。
スタッフの方も常に会話してくれて、緊張をほぐしてくれました。
着替えた後も写真を撮ってくれたり、ゲームをしたりと楽しめました。
おススメです!
I truly felt that participating was worthwhile. Before boarding, I requested some photos, and they took not only the overall shots of parasailing but also captured our expressions and the views from the boat, totaling around 90 photos. It's necessary to inform the staff and the captain that you'd like photos before boarding and before parasailing, but it's reassuring that you can decide whether to purchase them after returning to the office and viewing the photos. The cost for the photos was $30, and we gave the captain a total of $20 in tips for the four of us. It created the best memories!
参加してよかったと心から思います。乗船前に写真をお願いし、撮っていただきましたが、パラセイルの全体像だけでなく、表情、船からの景色も撮ってくださり、90枚程度撮っていただきました。乗船前やパラセイル前にスタッフや船長さんに写真が欲しいと伝える必要がありますが、事務所に帰ってきて写真を見てから購入の有無を決めることができるので安心です。写真代は30ドル、チップは4人で合わせて船長さんに20ドル渡しました。最高の思い出ができました!
This boat trip was amazing! The captain was extremely knowledgeable and even looked out for dolphins and whales for us! We werent able to see any dolphins, but we were able to see a whale. We also saw some honu's, (green sea turtles) and some really cool fish. He also had a lot of great jokes, which made me smile! Well worth it!
I participated in a semi-private SUP lesson in perfect weather and just the right climate. The instructor was very skilled in Japanese and was friendly, making the experience enjoyable. Doing SUP while feeling the sea breeze was very pleasant! There were some waves, and at one point, the instructor helped me ride the waves, which was fun.
天候にも恵まれ、ちょうど良い気候の中、Supセミプライベートレッスンに参加しました。インストラクターの方は日本語とても上手で、フレンドリーに接してくださり、とても楽しみながら体験することができました。海風を感じながら 行う Supはとても気持ち良かったです‼少し波もあり、途中インストラクターが波に乗せてくれたりして、楽しかったです。
I learned that fireworks are launched every Friday, so I made a reservation for Friday. At the meeting point, Mai Tai, we were able to watch the sunset before departure, and the fireworks viewed from the boat while enjoying drinks were very beautiful. It was also great to see the night view of Hawaii from the sea. When getting on and off the boat, you might get wet, so it's a good idea to bring a towel and prepare for getting wet.
毎週金曜日に花火があがる情報を知り、金曜日に予約をとりました。集合場所のマイタイでは、出航前に夕日を見る事ができ、お酒を飲みながら船で見る花火はとてもキレイでした。また海からみるハワイの夜景も見れたので良かったです。船から乗り降りする時は濡れるので、タオルと濡れても大丈夫な用意しておいた方が良いです。
The instructors were lively and had great energy even early in the morning. I paid a $30 tip. I've heard that you might see whales and dolphins, so I think you can look forward to that.
インストラクターさん方のノリが良くて朝イチでもテンションアゲアゲでした。チップは$30払いました。クジラやイルカが見えるときもあるらしいので期待していいと思います。
We went on the Friday 21 and over sunset cruise.
The crew was great, the drinks were great, the people on the cruise were great and the weather was great. We will go again the next time in Waikiki.
I know a lot of greats, but the cruise was great.
We boarded the boat and set off for parasailing! I only observed from the boat while my two children experienced it. The captain and staff had great conversations and jokes, which made my observation really enjoyable.
The staff took care of all the preparations! Once we arrived at the starting point, they put on a harness-like gear and we started right away. There was a slight feeling of floating, but the breathtaking view in front of me quickly made any fear disappear. It was quite high. If you're afraid of heights, you might find yourself gripping the belt tightly, but if you're not, you can relax and let go with one hand!
I read that there was a possibility of landing in the water, so I wore a swimsuit, but I only got wet up to my butt, so I didn't get too soaked. However, it's definitely better to wear a swimsuit. It might depend on the season, but since it was early morning, it was quite cold. You can place your belongings at your feet, so it's a good idea to have something to cover up with.
Due to the weather and being the first ride of the day, by the time we returned to the port, I was able to wear a T-shirt and shorts over my swimsuit.
港から船に乗りいざパラセイリングへ!
私は船で見学のみ、子ども2人で体験してきました。船長、スタッフの方のノリの良い会話、ジョークも楽しく見学している私もすごく楽しめました。
準備はスタッフの方が決めてくれます!ハーネスっぽい装備をつけてもらってポイント地点に着いたらすぐにスタート。多少の浮遊感はありましたが目の前に広がる絶景にすぐに怖さも吹き飛びます。結構高いです。高所恐怖症だとベルトをひたすら掴んで硬直状態になりますが、そうでないなら片手を離してリラックスもできます!
海への着地の可能性ありと書いてあったので水着でいきましたが、お尻までボチャンと浸かるくらいであまり濡れませんでした。でも水着で行った方がいいです。ただ時期にもよると思いますが、早朝だったのでかなり寒かったです。荷物は足元におけるので羽織るものがあったほうがいいですよ。
気候と一番最初だったこともあり港に着く頃には水着の上からTシャツと短パンが着れました。
The weather was exceptionally good for February, and we were able to see the sun setting beautifully on the horizon until the very end. It was the best. The staff were friendly, and although there was only one other group of Japanese guests with us, they were very attentive and provided polite service.
天候が2月ながら非常に良く太陽が水平線にしずむのが最後まできれいに見えました。最高でした。 スタッフも気さくで日本人は我々ともう1組だけでしたが、良く気がつき丁寧な対応をしてくれました。
The captain and bartender were very personable, energetic and went out of their way to make sure everyone enjoyed themselves.
This was my third trip to Hawaii, and this time I chose the Rock-a-Hula show among many options. As the largest show in Waikiki that fuses Polynesian culture with rock, it was truly a wonderful experience. The backstage monitor tour I participated in was all VIP treatment, which was very moving.
First, we were guided to the green room where we received a welcome drink. Then, during the backstage tour, we were taken to areas not usually accessible, where we learned about the performers' costumes and props. We even got to wear some of the decorations used in the Polynesian show for photos, which was quite touching when I saw the pictures later.
The stage setup was fantastic, and the live band was powerful. Being seated in the front row center, I was completely drawn into the show. The performances of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson's songs and dances were so incredible that I almost thought they were the real deal.
The fire show was also more impressive from the front row than when I saw it previously. The delicious dinner and the photo gift added to the overall satisfaction, making it feel worth more than the price paid.
今度で3度目のハワイ旅行で、今回は数あるショーの中でロック・ア・フラショーを選択しました。ポリネシアとロックを融合させたワイキキ最大のショーと
いう名の通り大変素晴らしいショーでした。その中でも今回エントリーしたバックステージ付きのモニターツアーはすべてがVIP待遇で感動しました。
先ずはグリーンルームに案内され、ウエルカムドリンクがあり、その後バックステージツアーで、普段見ることが出来ない舞台裏に案内され、出演者の衣装や小道具の説明受け、そしてポリネシアショーで使う飾り物を頭につけて頂き
写真撮影をしてくれました。後でその姿をみて少し感激しました。
舞台装置も素晴らしく生バンドも迫力があり、VIP待遇ということで席も最前列の真ん中でしたので、ショーに引き込まれました。
ロックショーのエルビスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソンの歌とダンスは大変すばらしく一瞬本物にかと思うほどのレベルだと思います。
ファイヤーショーも最前列のため以前見た時より迫力を感じました。
美味しいディナーに写真のプレゼントも付き料金以上の満足感です。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
First of all, the sunset was truly beautiful.
The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean side was also impressive.
The captain and the bartender were both lively and made great drink recommendations, which made for a fun experience!
I was able to chat with various people on the boat, and I'm grateful for the wonderful encounters. ^^
まず、夕日が本当に綺麗に見えました。
海側からみるワイキキの街やダイアモンドヘッドも見応えがありました。
船の操縦士さんもバーテンダーさんもノリが良くて、オススメのお酒を作ってくれたりして、楽しく過ごすことができました!
船上のいろいろな方とお話しもできて、素敵な出会いに感謝です^^
This was my fourth trip to Hawaii, but my first time parasailing! Since I was staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, I was able to walk directly to the meeting point. Since it was a special trip to Hawaii, I decided to challenge myself with the 150m height, and it was definitely the right choice! I kept rising higher and felt like we were the only ones up there, which was an amazing feeling. I wondered if this is how birds feel when they fly? It was so exhilarating!!!
They said it would last about 15 minutes, but I think we were actually in the air for about 7 or 8 minutes. It cost nearly $100, so I gave it four stars. There were about four other groups participating, but since we were the first to fly and headed out to sea, we could only see the ocean in front of us and had to turn back to see the view of Waikiki. I recommend boarding the boat last so you can fly facing Waikiki.
Also, if you ask, they will take photos for about $20, but I think it's fine to ask someone from another group to take your picture. Since we flew first, we didn't have time to ask, so we ended up not getting any photos, but the experience is etched in my memory!
ハワイ4回目ですが初のパラセーリング!
ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ宿泊だったので徒歩で直接集合場所に行けました。
せっかくのハワイ旅行だし、ということで150mにチャレンジしましたが、これが大正解でした!
どんどん高く上がっていき、上空を私達だけで独り占めしてるようなそんな気分になれました^^
鳥ってこんな感じで飛んでるのかな?気持ちいいーーーーー!!!
と大興奮でした♪
15分?とのことでしたが実際に飛んでいたのは7.8分ほどだったと思います^^;
それで100ドル近くがかかったので星4つにしました。
ツアー客4組ほどと一緒に参加するのですが、私たちが一番最初に飛んだ時に沖に向かって進んでいたため、前の景色は海しか見えず、後を振り返りながらワイキキの景色をみないといけませんでした^^;
船に乗り込むのを最後にすると、ワイキキ方面を向いて飛べるのでおすすめです。
あと写真はお願いすれば20ドルくらいで撮ってくれますが、他のグループの方たちにお願いして撮ってもらう感じでいいと思います。
私達は最初に飛んだのでお願いする暇もなく結局写真は取れませんでしたが目に焼き付けました(笑)
I was picked up by bus at the hotel and departed from the bay near Hilton Village. It mentioned that towels were needed, but it was fine without them. You can also leave your valuables on the cruiser, so there's no need to worry.
It was drizzling a bit at departure, but once we got out to sea, it cleared up and we enjoyed beautiful weather!
The crew was friendly and engaged in conversation, which really enhanced the atmosphere, making it a lot of fun! Be sure to enjoy the breathtaking scenery and refreshing experience!
バスでホテルまで迎えに来てもらい、ヒルトン村のそばの湾から出発。
タオル必要と書いてありましたが、無くて大丈夫です。貴重品もクルーザーで置いておけるので安心してください。
出発時はパラパラと雨が降ってましたが、沖に出ると晴れ、快晴の中でした!
クルーの人が気さくに話しかけてくれ、雰囲気も盛り上げてくれるのでとても楽しかったです!
圧倒的な景色と爽快感を是非楽しんでください!
The scenery was really beautiful, just as everyone has commented, and I felt it was worth going. I was able to talk to various people, and it was fun. However, the music playing on the boat was loud and echoed a bit in my head, which was unfortunate. I thought it would have been nicer if the volume had been a little lower.
景色はみなさんコメントしてる通り本当に綺麗で行って良かったあ〜て感じでした
色んな人とも話せるし、楽しかったです
ただ船で流れている音楽がうるさくて少し頭に響いてしんどかったのが残念でした
もう少し音量小さければ気持ちかったかなあーと思ってしまいました
This was my second time on a catamaran to see the fireworks on Friday. The luxurious experience of watching fireworks from the sea will remain a cherished memory of my trip to Hawaii. I participated with my parents in their 70s, and they enjoyed it as well. The daytime catamaran is nice, but the night experience is also great as you can see the starry sky. However, it's unfortunate that since alcohol is a free drink, there are many people who get drunk, and some use the restroom with the door wide open, so it might be better to sit far from the restroom.
金曜日の花火を見るカタマランは二度目です。
海から花火を見る贅沢な時間が、ハワイ旅行の思い出として残ります。
70代の両親を連れての参加でしたが、両親も楽しんでいました。
日中のカタマランも良いですが、夜の参加も星空が見れて、とてもよいです。
ただ残念なのは、アルコールがフリードリンクになるので、酔っ払ってる方が多く、トイレも扉を開けっぱなしで使ったり、かなりタチの悪い人もいるので、トイレから遠い席に座った方が良いかもしれません。
For a quick tour where you will more than likely run into several honu, the Mana Kai Catamaran morning snorkel is a great value. We not only ran into 5-6 large honu at the shell cleaning station, we also found a pod of spinner dolphins. The captain careful followed the dolphins at a safe distance, so we managed to snap some great pics.
Will definitely do again upon my next return!
It was an experience like no other, and I had so much fun! The captain and crew were kind and made it enjoyable, so I felt at ease taking on the challenge. I want to ride again!
今まで体験したことのない感覚ですごく楽しめました!
船長さんたちも優しく、楽しませてくれたので安心して挑めました。
もう一度乗りたいです!
I appreciated that the shuttle service to the hotel was included, and it was great that it was okay to be wet as long as I had a bath towel laid out. I chose the 150-meter option, and even as someone with a fear of heights, I was able to enjoy it. The local crew took beautiful photos with a single-lens camera, which made for even more memorable moments.
ホテルまでの送迎付きで、バスタオルさえ敷いていれば濡れていてもOKなのが有り難かったです。150メートルを選択しましたが、高所恐怖症でも楽しめました。現地クルーの方が一眼で綺麗に写真を撮ってくれたので、更に思い出になりました。
Trip was really fun. I was afraid of getting sea sick but the water was calm. I’ve been on many snorkel trips in Hawaii and Cabo San Lucas that take you out on a boat for 5 hours or so and provide lunch. Those I felt were way too long and you lose half the day. This one was only about 2.5 hours in the morning which was perfect. We had our 10 year old son with us and his attention span is short and he tires out after 30 minutes of snorkeling. Best part was we got on and off the boat at Waikiki Beach and did not have to drive to a harbor so we saved another hour or so. We saw lots of turtles right away and our son loved snorkeling with the turtles even though he was not a good swimmer. They provide life vests to everyone. I highly recommend going on this tour.
I was scared before it started, but it seems like I had fun when it was over. Now I want to try the 150m ride!
始まる前は怖がっていましたが
終わると楽しかったみたく
今度は150mに乗りたい言ってました^o^
Out to sea by boat! At a distance of 150 meters, we went up and up, but without any fear, and we even saw whales. It was the best eight minutes. I participated in a one-piece swimsuit, but I didn't get wet and landed safely on the boat! The staff were cheerful and it was a lot of fun! Thank you very much.
ボートで沖に!150m選択で、上がる、上がる、
でも怖さ無く、鯨も見えて、最高の8分間でした。
ワンピースで参加しましたが、濡れず、
ボートに無事着地!スタッフさんも陽気で楽しかった!
ありがとうございました。
It was the kids' first surfing experience. My son was able to stand up on the board from the first day, and my daughter quickly learned to do the same. By the end, both kids were even riding while holding hands! If you want to start surfing, I recommend signing up here.
子供達の初サーフィンでした。
息子は、1本日から立てるようになり、娘もすぐに立てるようになりました。最後の方は、子供達二人で手を繋ぎながらのライディングまで出来るように!サーフィンを始めたいならこちらに申し込みをお勧めします。
I didn't have high expectations for the massage at the resort, but it was quite skilled compared to those I've received in Japan. (It also suited me well.) There was no unnecessary chatter during the treatment, allowing me to relax completely.
The 60-minute course included acupressure (back) → oil massage (back) → oil massage (feet) → oil massage (decollete & neck/head), and the balance was great, leaving me feeling refreshed. If it was this good, I wish I had opted for a longer course!
If time and money allow, I think it would be perfect to have a short course after arriving in Hawaii and a longer course on the evening of the last day.
One thing to note is that there are no paper underwear provided, so you'll be treated in your own underwear. There is that lingering feeling from the oil massage on your skin and some dishevelment of your hair, so it's a good idea to plan this for the end of your outing or bring a hat for reassurance.
I believe getting two treatments here is more worthwhile than one at a luxury hotel!
リゾート地のマッサージには期待をしてませんでしたが、日本で今まで受けてきたのと比べてもかなり上手いマッサージでした。(相性もあるので、上手い&私に合っていた)
施術中の無駄話も一切なくリラックス出来ました。
指圧(背面)→オイルマッサージ(背面)→オイルマッサージ(足)→オイルマッサージ(デコルテ&首・頭)で60分のコースでしたがバランスも良くスッキリしました。こんなに上手なら、もう少し長いコースにすれば良かったー!
お金と時間が許すならハワイ到着後に短いコース、ハワイ最終日の夕方に長いコースをやると最高だと思います。
注意点として、紙パンツなどはないので自前の下着での施術になります。
オイルマッサージ特有の肌に残る感じ&髪の毛の乱れはありますので、お出かけの最後にするか帽子の準備などがあると安心です。
高級ホテルのマッサージ1回やるより、こちらで2回受ける方がお得だと思いますよ〜!
Dear mse,
Thank you very much for visiting us the other day. Also, thank you for your kind review.
We will continue to strive to create a store that brings joy to our customers.
Additionally, thank you for your feedback regarding the paper shorts. We have prepared them, so please feel free to ask for them during your next visit.
We look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.

It was my first time surfing, and there was a staff member who was friendly and spoke Japanese well, which helped me manage to stand up! Since I had a one-year-old child, my husband and I took turns participating, but we managed to ride the waves about 5 or 6 times in total. The two hours flew by, and it was a wonderful experience! I was so into it that I didn't even notice they were taking photos. This time was beginner-friendly, so next time I’d like to challenge myself with slightly bigger waves!
初サーフィンでしたが、日本語が上手で気さくなスタッフさんが1人いらっしゃり、なんとか立ち上がれました!
一歳の子供がいたので主人と2人で交替しながらの参加でしたが、合計5,6回は波に乗れました。あっという間の2時間でしたが、とても良い経験ができました!
写真は撮られていることにも全く気付かないくらいでした。
今回は初心者向けだったので、次回はもう少し高い波にも挑戦してみたいです♪
It was exciting to go parasailing after a long time. The moment we went up, there was a bit of speed, but before I knew it, we were quite high up, and it felt amazing. The pickup and the entire process were smooth without any long waits. Since it was the first tour of the day, it was great for planning the rest of the day's activities.
久しぶりのパラセイリングでドキドキでした。
上に上がる瞬間は少しスピードがありましたが、あっという間にかなり高い所まであがり、すごく気持ちよかったです。
お迎えから終了まで特に待たされる事もなくスムーズな案内でした。
朝一のツアーなので、そのあとの予定も組みやすくて良かったです。
Unfortunately, it was a cloudy sky with light rain. The boat ride and the captain's performance were fun, but it really depends on the weather. The 150 meters was not scary at all; it could have been even higher, haha. It’s a bit chilly in the early morning, so a rash guard or something to wear is essential! Also, I asked for photos, but it seems there was a miscommunication? The person I was with also requested photos, but it seems that didn’t go through either, so we couldn’t buy any photos after all.
あいにくの曇り空とパラパラと雨。
ボートの移動やキャプテン?のパフォーマンスなどは楽しかったけれど、やはり天候次第でしょうか。150メートルは全然怖くなかったです。もっともっと高くてもいいかも笑
朝早くの方は肌寒いのでラッシュガードなど羽織りものは必須です!
あと写真お願いしたのに通じてなかった?一緒の方もお願いしていたのに、通じてなかったらしく、やはり写真は買えませんでした。
Had a great time cruising and enjoying the drinks included in the price of the ticket. Even saw a pod of spinner dolphins swimming and dancing along side us. The special drink consisted of pop juice and rum and was super tasty. Crew was very friend,day and helpful. Highly recommend.
