All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

Lots of turtles. Staff great.. snorkeling for about 1hour...then cruise on catamaran off the coast of waikiki for another hour.

I had seen it once a few years ago, but I participated this time because I heard the content had been renewed. Unlike last time, it included not only songs but also hula, making the experience fulfilling and enjoyable. After the performance, I was able to take photos with the performers in the lobby, which made for a great keepsake.

何年か前に一度見たことがあったが、内容がリニューアルしたとの事なので参加。
前回と違い歌だけでなくフラ等も取り入れていて、内容が充実しており十分に楽しめた。
終演後のロビーでの出演者との撮影も気軽に取ってもらい、良い記念になった。

I would like to participate again♪

This was my third time joining, and the staff were kind.

I plan to go again in March, so I would like to participate.

また参加したいです♪

今回3回目の参加したのですがスタッフの方も親切でした

3月にまた行くので参加したいと思ってます

At 41 years old, I tried surfing for the first time! I was really anxious about whether I could do it. The instructor was a foreigner, and right after picking me up, they asked if I could speak English, which made me even more nervous... All the explanations on the beach were in English... I honestly wondered if I would be okay.

But thinking "you learn by doing," I took the board and headed to the ocean. I was told that there were good waves suitable for beginners, and somehow, after about three tries, I managed to stand on the board. The instructor only spoke very simple Japanese, like "Paddle!" and "Are you okay?" But they made an effort to communicate using the Japanese I knew and gestures. Also, perhaps due to the tide, when I got separated from the other tour participants, they quickly came to my aid, and at one point, thinking I might be tired, they asked, "Break?" Even though we couldn't communicate in Japanese, I felt their consideration in their responses.

I didn't request a female instructor, so there were two instructors, one male and one female. (There were five participants in total, including me.) It might be tough for those who have a strong aversion to English. However, the instructors were friendly and fun, and I was able to enjoy surfing itself, so I was very satisfied with the experience.

４１歳にして初めてのサーフィン！　できるかどうかとても不安でした。
インストラクターの方も外人で、ピックアップ後すぐに英語が話せるかどうかを聞かれ余計不安に・・・
砂浜で説明を受けるのも全部英語・・・本当に大丈夫か？！と正直思いました。
でも「習うより慣れろ」と思いボードを持って海へ。初心者でものれそうないい波がくると教えてもらえて、私は３回ぐらいでなんとかボードの上に立つことができました。
インストラクターの方は本当にかんたんな日本語しか喋れなかったです。「漕いで！」とか「大丈夫？」とか。でも知ってる日本語やジェスチャーを使ってなんとか伝えようと努力してくださいました。また潮の流れのせいか私が他のツアー客の方とはぐれたときなどはすぐ駆けつけてくださったり、途中私が疲れてると思ったのか「休憩（する）？」と声をかけてくださったり、日本語が通じないながらも気遣いが感じられる対応でした。
私は女性を希望しなかったので、インストラクターは男女の２名でした。（ツアー客は私を含め５人でした）
英語に拒絶反応を示す方には厳しいかもしれません。
でもインストラクターの方は気さくで楽しい人たちでしたし、サーフィンそのものも楽しむことができ、私としてはとても満足のいく内容でした。

I experienced parasailing for the first time in my life! I rarely go to the ocean, but since my friend said it was fun, I really wanted to try some water sports, so I signed up.

The activity itself started with a pickup in front of the hotel, where I signed a waiver during the car ride to the ocean. Once we arrived, we boarded the boat and set off! The time spent in the air flew by, and it was so much fun. They called it a dry landing, but I ended up getting soaked up to my waist at the end. Since it was a water sport, I thought that was okay (laughs). If they hadn't called it a dry landing, I would have been completely drenched!

I read many comments saying that the boat rocks a lot, so it’s better to take motion sickness medication, so I took some before getting in the car. It was raining on the day, and I thought it might be canceled, so I had the hotel front desk call to check, but they said it was sunny at the activity location, so it was on.

It was just my friend and me, and we did parasailing with two Koreans and four Americans. I also noticed that they seemed to think I didn’t understand English, as they occasionally made negative comments (laughs). Well, it wasn't something to worry about too much.

Overall, I would rate the activity as good, and everything else as fair.

人生初のパラセーリングを体験しました！
めったに海に行くこともないのですが、友人が楽しかったと言っていたのでぜひマリンスポーツをしたくて申し込みました。
アクティビティー自体は、ホテル前でピックアップしてくれて、海に行くまでの車で承諾書にサインして、着いたらボートに乗り込んで出発！という流れでした。
空にいる時間はあっという間でとても楽しかったです。ドライランディングといったのですが、最後に腰くらいまで海に浸かりました。せっかくのマリンスポーツですし、それくらいはアリかなと(笑)ドライランディングと言わなければ全身どっぷり浸かってました！

ボートはとても揺れるから酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいという書き込みが多かったので、車に乗ったときに酔い止めを飲んでおきました。
当日は雨が降っていて、中止かなと思ったのでホテルのフロントの方に電話してもらって確認しましたが、実施場所では晴れているからやります、との事でした。
自分と友人２の人で行って、パラセーリングをしたのは韓国人２人とアメリカ人４人でした。
あと気になったのは、こちらが英語がわからないとでも思ったのか、ちょくちょく悪口を言ってました(笑)まぁ、そんなに気にするほどでもないですが。

全体を通して、アクティビティは○、その他は△かなぁと。

I participated in parasailing. Floating while feeling the breeze of Hawaii was incredibly refreshing! The staff was friendly and it was a lot of fun!

パラセイリングに参加しました。
ハワイの風を感じながらの浮遊はとっても爽快でした！
スタッフの方もフレンドリーで楽しかったです！

I had a good impression from my previous experience on the Mai Tai Katamaran, so this is my second time. Last time, I took the 11 AM cruise, so this time I chose the sunset option.

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy on the day of the cruise. I was hoping the clouds would clear by sunset, but I ended up missing the sunset I was looking forward to.

However, the Mai Tai served was easy to drink with a light alcohol content, the boat's sway was just right, and there was nice background music playing, so I still enjoyed myself even without the sunset.

I'll save the sunset for next time!

マイタイカタマランには以前に乗船して好印象でしたので、２回目です。
前回は11時の便でしたので、今回はサンセットにしました。

当日は、生憎の曇天となってしまいました。
何とか日没時までには雲が切れてくれないかな、と思っていましたが、
期待していたサンセットは見られずじまいでした。

けど、振舞われたマイタイもアルコール薄めで飲みやすいし、
船揺れも適度ですし、気の利いたBGMも流れていますしで、
サンセットなしでも楽しめました。

サンセットは次回のお楽しみということにします！

This fella was awesome! Not only funny but intelligent and insanely fearless! Loved listening to him and his crew. Very amazing people, ask questions, was a terrific time!!

My first time in Hawaii, and I finally got to try parasailing! I chose this company because they offered free transportation and the option to select a height of 150 meters. Our driver, Yano, was very friendly and wonderful. The conversation was entertaining! We were the last to get out of the car, and they gave us hair accessories and juice as a gift (*ﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ Thank you!

The parasailing itself was amazing! I'm glad I chose the 150 meters. The weather was great, and I felt so happy! Seeing Hawaii from the sky was refreshing! Even if you're not good at English, you'll manage just fine. The staff were all very kind ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ I paid $30 and also bought an SD card. It was a great memory. Thank you!

初めてのハワイ、ずーっとやってみたかったパラセーリング！無料送迎がついていて、150ｍの高さを選択出来る、こちらの会社にお願いしました。ドライバーのやのさんは、とっても気さくな方で、素敵でした。お話が面白かった！車を下車するのが私達が最後だったのですが、髪飾りとジュースをプレゼントしてくれました(*ﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉありがとうございます。
肝心のパラセーリングも最高でした！150ｍにして良かったです。天気もよく、幸せでした！空から眺めるハワイ、気持ちが良いです！英語が苦手でも何とかなります。スタッフの皆さん、優しいです( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
30＄支払い、SDカードも購入。良い思い出です。
ありがとうございました。

I apologize for the last-minute check-in and the mix-up with the location, but I appreciate your quick response, which allowed us to attend the lesson as scheduled without any issues. Thank you very much!

This was my third time, and it was my companion's first time, so they were a bit nervous at first, but soon we could see smiles, and they were saying how much fun they had!

I truly believe that the experience of looking at Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the vast ocean is a precious one!

バタバタとギリギリチェックイン、その上場所も間違えるというご迷惑をおかけしましたが、迅速に対応して頂いて、問題なく予定通りレッスンを受ける事が出来ました。ありがとうございました！
私は３回目、同行者は初めてで最初は恐る恐るでしたが、途中から笑顔が見られ、楽しかったー！と喜んでいました！
ワイキキビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドを大海原から眺める感覚は本当に貴重な体験だと思います！

It wasn't exactly as I imagined, with an abundance of always beautiful fish, but the experience of riding in a submarine is something you don't get to do often, so I'm glad I participated. I joined with my 80-year-old mother, and we were able to enjoy it without any issues.

想像していた程、常に綺麗なお魚がいっぱいというわけでは有りませんでしたが、潜水艦に乗るという体験は中々出来る事ではないので、参加して良かったと思います。80歳の母と参加しましたか問題なく楽しめました。

My first time in Hawaii and on a any type of boat. At first I was hesitant but so glad we had this unforgettable experience. Captiain, crew, music, view and Mai'tai cocktail were awesome. Highly recommend!

A great activity - we were lucky enough to see a seal enjoying the waves amongst the surfers on our way out to the snorkelling site. Plenty of underwater action going on and lots of turtles to see too.

It was my first submarine tour, and the interior wasn't too cramped, plus the windows were large, so we had a great time. My elementary school daughter was also very excited and happy.

They mentioned a commemorative Atlantis Dive Log (dive record) as a gift, but we were just directed to the exit and didn't receive it. I wonder if I should have said something. (I did receive information about Atlantis Submarine, but I wonder if this counts as a boarding memento?)

初めての潜水艦ツアーでしたが、艦内はそれほど狭くもなく窓も大きく楽しく過ごせました。
小学生の娘も大興奮で喜んでいました。

搭乗記念のアトランティス・ダイブログ（潜水記録）をプレゼント!…とありましたが、そのままお帰り口へ案内され、いただけませんでした。
言わないとだめだったんでしょうか。
(アトランティスサブマリンのご案内はもらったのですが、これが搭乗記念になるのかな？)

Friendly and professional crew. We felt safe and in good hands. View of Waikiki was spectacular!

I was able to enjoy a relaxed hula show as well as a powerful performance that used fire. After the show, I had the opportunity to take photos with a muscular male dancer, which became a great memory when I looked back at the pictures later. I don't remember much about the food, but I don't think it was bad. Also, there were few Japanese spectators, and I shared a long table with people from Western countries. When I was seated, I received a friendly smile, so if you can speak English, you might enjoy chatting during the show.

ゆったりとしたフラ～火を使ったパワフルなショーまで堪能できました。
ショーの後に、日本人では考えられないほどマッチョな男性のダンサーと写真を撮ることもでき、後から写真を見返してもいい思い出になりました。
食事についての記憶はあまりないですが、まずくはなかったように思います。
また、日本人の観客は少なく、長テーブルに欧米の方との相席でした。
着席時にニコッと笑いかけてもらえたので、英会話ができる方ならショーを見ながら話したりして楽しめるかも知れません。

We took our family of 5, including kids ages 13, 11, & 7. Everyone had a fabulous time, and we only wish we could've done it again. Highly recommended!

I participated with my husband.

In addition to us, there was a newlywed Japanese couple and a family with small children from abroad on the tour (^ ^).

The tour bus arrived about five minutes early, but it was a regular blue van, not a flashy trolley. The foreign driver was standing outside the door, but he didn’t say anything, so when I asked, “Parasailing?” he smiled and confirmed our names (^ ^). Upon closer inspection, I noticed that his T-shirt had "Extreme Parasail" written in English.

The bus took about five minutes to reach the location of the boat. Once we boarded, there were two foreign parasailing instructors. Both were wearing sunglasses and looked quite handsome, which got me excited, haha.

The explanation was given in English, but they also showed us a paper with safety instructions written in Japanese. I don’t understand English at all, but they occasionally mixed in some Japanese, so it was no problem (^ ^).

The instructors looked like charming guys, but they were very attentive to safety. Even if someone casually did something dangerous, they were watching closely and would give a warning, haha.

Thanks to that, I was able to take off with great peace of mind (^ ^).

I wouldn’t say I have a fear of heights, but I definitely can’t cross suspension bridges, and I’m scared even on the Disney roller coasters, so I was worried, but it was totally fine!

The scenery was truly breathtaking. A grand panorama. I felt like a bird. The sky is so quiet.

Of course, the view while flying was amazing, but even just being on the boat was quite thrilling and very satisfying!

Photos are taken for $30, but we took turns taking pictures among ourselves as Japanese (^ ^).

In the end, I gave the instructor a $5 tip (^ ^).

I was so satisfied that I regretted not bringing a little more money for tips!!!

I really recommend it (^ ^).

主人と参加しました。

ツアーには私達の他に日本人の新婚さん一組、外国人の小さな子供連れ家族が一組でした(^ ^)

ツアーバスは5分前には迎えに来てくれましたが、派手なトロリーではなく普通の青いバンでした。
また、運転手の外人さんがドアの外に立っていましたが声をかけてくる事は無いので、
こちらから「パラセーリング？」と声をかけたら笑顔で名前を確認してくれました(^ ^)
よく見たら運転手さんのTシャツにエキストリームパラセールと英語で書いてありました。


バスは5分ほどで船のある場所に到着、船に乗り込むと外国人のパラセーリングのインストラクターさんが二人います。
二人ともサングラスでしたがかなりイケメン風でテンション上がりました笑

説明は英語で話しますが、日本語で書いた注意事項の紙を見せてくれます。
英語は全くわかりませんが、たまに日本語も交えてくれるので全然問題ありません(^ ^)

インストラクターさんはイケメンチャラ男風ですが(すみませんw)安全面にはしっかり配慮してくれます。
何気なく危ない事をすると、見てないようでしっかり見ていて注意されます笑

おかげでとっても安心して飛び立つ事が出来ました(^ ^)

私は高所恐怖症とまでは言いませんが、吊り橋などは絶対渡れませんし、ジェットコースターもディズニーランドのもので限界なくらい怖がりなので心配でしたが、全然大丈夫でした！

本当に感動の景色。大パノラマ。
鳥になった気分。空って静かなんだなー。



また、飛んでからはもちろん感動の景色ですが、ボートに乗っているだけでもかなり迫力があり大満足です！

写真は30ドルで撮ってくれますが、私達は日本人同士で取り合いっこしました(^ ^)

最後にインストラクターさんに5ドルチップを渡しました(^ ^)

大満足だったので、チップのお金をもう少し持っていけば良かったと後悔したくらいです！！！


本当にオススメです(^ ^)

This was a great evening activity for a Friday. The check-in process was super-simple, we even had extra time so we went to the small bar to the right of the check-in stand. Then we lined up and where able to board the vessel. I recommend shorts, as this is a barefoot cruise. I got a little wet but others weren't so fortunate. The cruise was a quite ride out, then down to Diamond Head and back near Magic Island to see the fireworks. Overall a great experience.

My first parasailing experience!
Two handsome guys assisted us.
We boarded a boat with four groups of participants and headed to the parasailing location.

We challenged ourselves to the highest height of 150 meters.
It was much less scary than I expected, and the flying time was so much fun!!
The guys even played around by intentionally dropping us into the sea, which added to the experience. The water wasn't cold, and it was really enjoyable!
Make sure to wear a swimsuit since you might get wet!

They also took photos and made a DVD for us. I think it was $30? It does cost money, but everyone on the same boat bought it!
It became a wonderful memory★
Thank you!

初めてのパラセイル！
イケメンお兄さん2人が対応してくれました。
4組の参加者と一緒にボートに乗り、
パラセイルを行う場所まで行きます。

私たちは一番高い150ｍに挑戦しました。
思っていたよりも全然恐くなく、
とっても楽しい飛行時間でした！！
お兄さんたちが海にわざと落とすなど、演出をしてくれました。水も冷たくなく、とても楽しかったです！
濡れても良いよう、水着着用は絶対です！

写真も撮ってくれて、DVDにしてくれます。30ドルだったかな？お金は掛かりますが。同じボートだった方々もみんな買っていました！
とっても良い想い出になりました★
ありがとうございます。

I booked this for my friend's family on their first trip to Hawaii, and everyone was super excited and really enjoyed it! The food was delicious, and during the meal, the cheerful hula dancers and the ukulele music created a wonderful Hawaiian atmosphere for the family! The main show was impressive, and the structure felt quite different from other hula shows I've seen, showcasing a high level of quality. We also got to take a lot of photos with the stars at the end, which made us even more satisfied. Next time, I want to enjoy a VIP dinner with my husband at Hawaii Leahi.

初ﾊﾜｲの友人家族のために申し込んだのですが、みんなテンションUPで大変喜んでもらうことができました！
お料理も大変おいしく、食事中もにこやかなフラダンサーさんやウクレレと歌声に初ハワイ家族はハワイムードを満喫！！
メインのショーも迫力があり、構成も今までのﾌﾗｼｮｰとは一味違いかなりのレベルの高さを感じました。
最後にスター達との写真もたくさん撮れて更に満足♡
次回はﾊﾜｲﾘﾋﾟｰﾀｰの主人とVIPディﾅｰを楽しみたいと思います。

There was a host who provided explanations in English, and the show began, but it felt like only the host was speaking in English despite more than half of the participants being Japanese. It might just be my feeling since I can't speak English, but I wish they had prepared pamphlets or something. The location was also surrounded by buildings, and the atmosphere was not great, which was disappointing given my expectations.

司会者がいて、説明がはいり（英語）、ショーが始まるのですが、参加者の半数以上が日本人なのに、司会者のみが英語でしゃべっている感じでした。自分が英語ができないのでそう感じただけかもしれませんが、出来たらパンフレットとかも用意してくれていたらと思いました。
場所もビルに囲まれた中で雰囲気もイマイチで、期待していただけに残念でした。

I have done sunset cruises in various countries, but this yacht cruise was the best I've ever experienced! There were only two groups of Japanese people, and I really felt like I finally made it to Hawaii! I was able to take lots of pictures with people from different countries, and it was so much fun! I definitely want to do this again if I get the chance! I was worried about the meeting place because there were some unclear reviews, but once I got there, it was straightforward, and there was a counter, so everything was fine. No need to worry.

いろいろな国でサンセットクルーズをやりましたが、このヨットクルーズが今までで一番サイコーに良かったです！日本人は2組だけ、やっとハワイにきたぞ！と実感しました。いろいろな国の方と写真もいっぱいとることができてとても楽しかったです！これはまた機会があればぜひやりたい！集合場所、わかりづらい口コミがあり心配しましたが、集合場所行けばその通りなにも迷うことなく、カウンターもあり大丈夫です。心配はいりません。

I was able to experience parasailing efficiently within a tight schedule, which was great. A van arrived to pick us up 15 minutes before the meeting time. They waited while calling out to us until the exact departure time. It can be a bit hard to find if you're at a distance, so it's good to be cautious and stand near the road. Parasailing felt safer and less scary than I imagined. The view was also amazing and breathtaking. I highly recommend it.

タイトな日程の中で効率よくパラセイリングを体験できよかったです。
集合場所には15分前には迎えのワンボックスが来ました。出発時間きっかりになるまで
声掛けしながら待っていてくださいます。ちょっと離れた場所だとわかりづらいので、注意して道路付近に出ているとよいです。パラセイリングは想像よりも怖くなく安全な気がしました。
眺めも良く感動します。おすすめです。

I really wanna try it again........
The staff are very nice.......

I think there aren't many opportunities to ride a submarine, even if it's smaller than the underwater world in Hawaii, so I decided to participate. It's great! The kids will enjoy it too! It doesn't take much time either.

ハワイの海底云々より小さくても潜水艦てなかなか乗る機会ないとおもい参加しました。良いですよ！子供達も喜びますし！時間もそんなにかからないので。

It was a celebrity look-alike show, and I really enjoyed it because I could also see dancers, hula dancing, and a fire show, and I was able to take photos!

有名人のそっくりさんショーですが、ダンサーやフラダンス、ファイヤーショーなども見れて写真も撮れたのでとても楽しめました！

I forced my 7-year-old daughter to join, but she got seasick while waiting for our turn for parasailing. If you see that view, even those with a fear of heights won't have to worry about the height at all! It might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication to avoid getting sick on the boat.

７歳の娘を無理やりに連れて参加しましたが、パラセイリングの順番を待っている間に船に酔ってしまいました。
高所恐怖症の方もあの景色を見れば、高さの怖さは全く心配することはないですよ！
船で酔わないよう、酔い止めを飲んで参加した方が良いかな。

Boarding on the beach side of the Sheraton Waikiki. The waves were a bit rough, so my clothes got wet, but they dried quickly. As we moved away, the tall hotels of Waikiki became smaller, and as soon as we passed Diamond Head and entered the open sea, the waves got higher, creating an exhilarating thrill as the waves splashed onto the boat. Once we were in the open sea, the wind picked up and the waves became higher, so please participate in clothing that can get wet.

シェラトンワイキキのビーチ側にて乗船。波があったので洋服が濡れましたがすぐに乾きました。どんどん離れるワイキキの高層ホテルが小さくなってダイヤモンドヘッドを過ぎたあたりの外海に出た途端に波が高くなって船にまで波が上がって来てスリル満点でした。外海に出ると風も強くなり波も高くなるので濡れても大丈夫な服装で参加してください。

Faboulous! I would recommend for families as well. Very professional; told a beautiful story; and food was 5 star.
