All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

Participated with my husband and two boys (9 & 10). My children and I were nervous at first. But the two guides were awesome and very friendly. They explained the rules and prepared us for our tandem rides. Once we were up in the air the nerves went away.The view was so breathtaking. One of the guides also took some amazing photos of the whole experience (for purchase). I will definitely use Hawaiian Parasail again.

You can enjoy a luxurious time on the boat that you can't experience in Japan. This was my second time using the service, and no matter how many times I go, watching the sunset slowly while enjoying music, the breeze, and drinks on the boat is the best experience. There are many guests, and at first, you sit in a designated spot, but once you're out at sea, you can move around freely. Please make sure to experience that moment at least once.

とにかく日本では味わえない優雅な時間を船の上で過ごせます。
今回2回目の利用でしたが、何度行っても船上での音楽、風、お酒がある中でゆっくりと夕日が沈んでいくのを眺めるのは最高の時間です。
たくさんの利用客がおられ、最初は決まったところに座りますが沖へでれば自由に移動できます。
是非一度あの瞬間を味わってください。

My first time in Hawaii!! Sailing is a must!
I chose the Waikiki Rigger Catamaran from various options.
The sea breeze cutting through the wind felt amazing, and I was very satisfied with the views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the boat.
Seeing turtles and dolphins up close was truly moving! (^^)!

I also love the photos taken before boarding! They make a great memory.

I even recommended it to complete strangers! (^^)!
If I ever go to Hawaii again, I will definitely participate!

初めてのハワイ！！セーリングは外せない！
いろんなオプションの中から選んだワイキキリガー・カタマラン号
風を切って走る海風はとても気持ちよく
船上から見えるワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドの景色にも大満足ですが
まじかで見るカメやイルカには感動しました!(^^)!

乗船前に撮ってもらった写真も気に入ってます！！いい記念になります。

全く知らない人にも勧めてしまいました!(^^)!
またハワイに行くことがあったら、絶対参加します！

It was amazing. I was able to see the streets of Waikiki and the beautiful ocean from above. The height didn't feel as high as I expected, but it felt like I was a bird. I want to do it again. I also got to take a lot of pictures.

最高です。空の上からワイキキの街並みとキレイな海を眺めることができました。高さは思ったよりはあまり高く感じませんでしたが、鳥になった気分です。またやりたいです。写真もたくさんとってもらいました。

Even though I can't speak English, I received polite lessons! The instructor and the person who came to pick me up were both foreigners, but everyone was kind, and I had a great time surfing♪ I participated alone, but I highly recommend it!

英語がしゃべれない私でも丁寧にLessonをして頂きました！
インストラクターの人も、お迎えに来て頂いた方も外国人ですが
みなさん優しい方でサーフィンも楽しくできました♪
ひとりで参加しましたが、おすすめです！

The pickup was on time, and we were brought by trolley. We were the only Japanese among those who boarded the boat, and the others were native speakers, so it was quite challenging to keep up with the English. However, the staff managed to convey the important points in broken Japanese, which helped a lot. I took motion sickness medication, but I still got quite seasick, and the second half was tough because I felt nauseous. The parasailing itself was very enjoyable.

お迎えは時間通り、トロリーで来てくれました。一緒にボートに乗った中で日本人は私たちだけで、他の方はネイティブだったので英語についていくのはかなり大変でしたが、大事なとこだけはスタッフが片言の日本語で言ってくれたのでなんとかなりました。酔い止めをのんで行ったけど、それでもかなり船酔いして、後半は気持ち悪くて大変でした。パラセイリング自体はとても楽しかったです。

Snorkeling - Great to swim with the turtles, however no fish to really see. Provided with snorkel but not fins. maybe worth brining if you want to try and swim deeper and get to the turtles quickly before they return to the bottom. Probably saw 20-25 Turtles.
Sailing - Very cool - Fast & Fun. Saw Dolphins, Flying fish

This was an awesome trip! My daughter and I were a little nervous but it was totally safe and the crew were great! Very friendly and very funny! We would definitely go on this trip with this company again!

You absolutely should do it! Highly recommended!! You should definitely buy the photos taken!! It was so much fun that my husband ended up giving them $10 without thinking about it, haha. We had a wonderful experience☆

絶対やった方が良いです!おすすめ!!
撮っていただいた写真も買うべきです!!
本当に楽しすぎて、
旦那さんは思わず１０ドルも
渡してしまったほどですww
素敵な体験が出来ました☆

This was the best para-sailing experience we have, we already para-sailed before in Cabo but it was not as good as the Hawaiian Para-sail. I would recommend this to anyone para sailing for the first time or experienced people. The tour guides were amazing as well.

I participated as a VIP, and I highly recommend the VIP course for this tour. The show while enjoying wine was quite impressive. I will recommend it to my friends.

VIPで参加しました、このツアーはVIPコースがおすすめですね、ワインを飲みながらのショーはなかなかの迫力でした。
友達にもすすめます。

We had Lots of fun. The Crew of two worked well together and was very friendly and kept the Mai Tai's coming. I loved the choice of music as we sailed. This is a must do !!

I saw a similar show in Guam before, but this one had even more amazing dancing! The level of the dancers was incredible!
Before the show, there were entertainment acts where they drew pictures like tattoos with magic, and the kids enjoyed it too.
If I go to Hawaii, I want to go every time!

前にグアムでも同じ様なショーを見ましたが、こちらの方がよりダンスが凄かったです！ダンサーのレベルが半端ない！
ショーの前の余興では、マジックでタトゥーのように絵を書いてくれたりして、子供も楽しんでいました。
ハワイに行ったら、毎回でも行きたいです！

We signed up for a fun activity for our family of four on the afternoon we arrived in Hawaii. I was worried we might be too tired, but it turned out to be such an enjoyable tour that those feelings disappeared. We were the only Japanese participants, but every time someone took off, both the staff and the others around us got excited. The staff were lively and skillfully entertained us while driving, making it a tour filled with laughter. Seeing Hawaii from above is amazing! While waiting for the boat, there aren't many covered areas, so I recommend bringing a hat and drinks.

今回は家族４人でアクティブに遊ぶという目的で、ハワイに着いた日の午後に申し込みました。疲れて大丈夫かな。と思っていましたが、そんな気持ちも吹き飛んじゃうほど楽しいツアーでした。日本人は私達だけでしたが、誰かが飛ぶたびに、スタッフの方も周りの方も盛り上がり、スタッフの方はきびきびしながらも、巧みに運転しながら楽しませてくれるので、笑いっぱなしのツアーでした。ハワイを空の上から見るのは最高です！船が来るのを待っているときは屋根のあるところが少ないので、帽子や飲み物など持って行くといいと思います。

We, a couple in our 40s, had our first experience with paddle surfing. The weather was great, and we set out from the beach of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, walking in the waters of Waikiki with our instructor and photographer. Although we fell into the sea several times due to our lack of skill, the scenery was stunning and left us in awe. We also had many photos taken, which became wonderful keepsakes.

４０代夫婦でパドルサーフィン初体験でした。天候が良く、ロイヤルハワイアンホテルのビーチから出てインストラクターやカメラマンとワイキキの海を散歩しました。下手で何度も海に落ちましたが景色が素晴らしく感激しました。写真もたくさん撮影していただき記念になりました。

It was very hot, and waiting until the gathering was quite tough. I wish I could have waited in the shade. However, once the boat set sail, the pleasant breeze felt great. The beer we had offshore was delicious. I was satisfied. The view of Waikiki from the sea was also quite something.

とても暑く集合までの待ちがたいへんでした。日陰で待ちたかったかな？でも、船が出港してからはここちよい風で気持ちがよかったです。沖合で飲むビールのおいしかったこと。満足です。海から見るワイキキのまちもなかなかのものでしたよ。

The seat in the very front and center was great. The tribute artist's live performance was very enjoyable. I wish I could have seen some artists from the 60s. I would have liked to see more variety of artists.

一番前の真ん中の良い席で、大変良かったです。そっくりさんのライブとても楽しかったです。60年代のアーチストも見たかったかな？いろいろなアーチストをもっとやってほしかったです。

It's not a very large ship, so at first, I was a bit nervous, but there was little rocking. The elementary school children were able to experience the feeling of being a captain at the helm, and the wind felt nice. Above all, the fireworks were beautiful and left me impressed.

あまり大ききな船でないので、さいしは、ドキドキしましたが、揺れもすくなく、小学生の子は、運転台で擬似船長気分を味わうこともできて風が、気持ち良く、なんと言っても花火が、きれいで感激しました。

We had a great time parasailing over the beautiful blue waters!!! The crew was amazing, very friendly and funny which made the experience even more fun!!! This is a must if you are visiting Oahu... The sights are magnificent!

I boarded a mixed bus from the Heideman office at the Waikiki Grand Hotel and headed to the beach. Everyone except me was part of a group, so I felt a bit lonely, but once I got into the water, it didn't matter about the group. I paddled on my own to reach the instructor, and when the waves came, they helped me. The instructor mentioned that if you're not used to paddling, it's difficult to ride the waves on your own.

The approximately two-hour lesson flew by, and depending on your stamina, you can ride the waves quite a bit! Since it's a less crowded beach (with a reef below), you can enjoy it without worry, and I highly recommend it.

All the explanations were in English.

ワイキキグランドホテルにあるヒーデマンのオフィスから混合バスに乗り込み、ビーチへ。私以外は皆グループで参加していたので少し心細かったですが、海に入ってしまえば、グループも何もありません。自力でパドルして、インストラクターの元に行き、波が来たら押してもらいます。インストラクターが普段からパドル慣れしていないと、自力で波に乗るのは難しいと言っていました。
約2時間のレッスンはあっという間でした体力次第でバンバン波に乗れますよー
人気の少ないビーチ（下がリーフ）なので、心おきなく出来ますし、オススメです

説明は全部英語でしたー

great expierence....we spent a great time with beautifull people!!!

I was wondering what it would be like at 130 meters above ground, but the bright blue sky and ocean, the towering Diamond Head in the distance, and the cityscape of Honolulu, along with the round horizon, created a view that was even more amazing than I imagined!! I had a blast on the boat, especially with some playful performances that involved getting splashed with seawater ^_−☆

上空130mなんてどうなることかと思ってたけど、真っ青の空と海、遠くにそびえるダイヤモンドヘッドとホノルルの街並み、そして丸い地平線と想像以上に素晴らしい景色で最高でした！！海水にわざとつけられたり、ちょっといたずらなパフォーマンスで船上でもめっちゃ楽しめました^_−☆

I wanted to see the hotels in Waikiki from the sea, so I joined a catamaran tour. The sailing lasted an hour and a half, and we went quite far out. The sea changed from emerald green to deep blue... Since I joined at 3:00, there were few people, and I sat in a netted area, but when the waves came, I got soaked. Our family was the only Japanese group, and although we couldn't speak English, we somehow felt like we made friends by just saying "wow" and "yay." My face and hair got all salty and messy from the seawater and sea breeze, but it was a lot of fun. (However, if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a bit tough.)

ワイキキのホテル群を海から見たい、カタマランに乗りたいと思って参加しました。　１時間半のセイリングなので、だいぶ沖の方まで連れて行ってくれました。　海はエメラルドグリーンから紺碧の色に…　　３：００からの参加だったからか、人数が少なく、網の状態の場所に座りましたが、波が来ると、ビショビショになります。　日本人は我々家族だけで、英語は話せませんが「ワーキャー」言っていると何となくお友達になれたような気分になりました。　海水と潮風で、顔も髪の毛もバリバリ（？）になりましたが、とても楽しかったです。　（ただし、乗り物に弱い方はちょっとつらいかもしれません。）

Friendly aloha spirit all around. If you're in Hawaii, then try surfing!! These guys are the best around by far. They take you away from the crowded side of Waikiki and truly give you a great lesson.

Since it was titled a dinner cruise, I dressed up, but it was completely inappropriate... Everyone was in shorts and flip-flops. On the boat, we were instructed to take off our shoes. There was very little space to sit, and we stood for two hours, being rocked back and forth. The number of guests complaining of nausea gradually increased, and we were almost in a situation where the restroom couldn't be used. Fortunately, I had taken motion sickness medication, so I managed to get through it, but I was worried about the restroom, so I didn't eat or drink anything. Finally, after a long wait, the fireworks lasted only a few minutes... It was just kind of disappointing.

ディナークルーズというタイトルであったので、ドレスアップしたのですが、まったくのお門違いで・・・皆短パンにビーチサンダル。船上では靴を脱げの指示。着席出来るスペースも少なくて2時間立ちっぱなしの揺られっぱなし。吐き気を訴える客が次第に増えて、危うくトイレが使用できない状態になる寸前でした。私は幸い酔い止めを飲んでいったのでなんとか切り抜けましたが、トイレのことが心配で、飲まず食わすでした。やっと待って上がった花火も数分間で・・・なんだかなぁ～って感じでした。

I was wondering if such a large canoe could ride the waves, but I was completely wrong! It rides the waves over a longer distance than regular surfing. The exhilaration of riding the waves while looking at Diamond Head in the waters of Hawaii is incredibly refreshing!

Just follow the captain's simple instructions: paddle or rest, that's all. You don't need to speak English to enjoy it!

こんな大きなカヌーが波に乗るのか？なんて思っていましたが、大間違い！
ふつうのサーフィンよりも長い距離波に乗ります。
ハワイの海でダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながら波に乗る爽快感は抜群に気持ち良いです！

キャプテンの簡単な指示に従って、漕ぐか休むか、それだけ。英語が出来なくても大丈夫です！

I used the four-day ticket again this year. Although the routes have changed, it was truly convenient. I was able to visit the long-awaited farmers' market and hike Diamond Head using just this trolley. Even though it's a four-day ticket, it can be used anytime during my stay, allowing for flexible use over the six days.

今年も４日間チケットで使いました。
路線が変わったりもしていますが、本当に重宝です。
念願のファーマーズマーケットやダイアモンドヘッド登山もこのトロリーだけで行く事が出来ました。
今年も４日チケットとはいえ滞在中の４日分いつでも使用可能なので６日間中不連続で使用できて使い勝手があります。

Fantastic trip, heaps of turtles to look at and even better cocktails after the snorkel. I would recommend this tour to everyone who enjoys to get in the water

We participated with a total of seven people. I wouldn't recommend it for those who get seasick, but for those who are okay with it, I definitely encourage you to join. The staff were very kind (they only speak English). Above all, the scenery is beautiful. It's only a few hours, so it's a fantastic experience that won't interfere with other schedules. I absolutely recommend it!!

総勢7名で参加しました。船酔いする方にはお勧めしませんが、OKな方には是非参加してほしいです。スタッフの方々もとっても親切（英語しか話せないスタッフですよー）。なんと言っても、景色がキレイ。ほんの数時間なので、他のスケジュールの邪魔にならないサイコーの体験です。ぜったいお勧め！！

It was very pleasant.
Since it was a catamaran, the sea water was right in front of us, and the sunset was amazing.

There were about 30 participants, with around 7 Japanese people.
There was also an elderly person (probably of American descent) who was using a cane.
Be careful as you have to climb a few steps up a steep ladder.
The instructions were only in English, but it was manageable even if you didn't understand everything.

During the sailing, it felt really nice.
I was sitting in the front row, but here the sea water splashed up from below,
and my T-shirt got completely soaked from the spray.
It's best to wear clothes over your swimsuit.
(The front half of the yacht has a net at the feet.)

Even in summer, it was cold when splashed with water.
A windbreaker or something similar is necessary.

とても気持良かったです。
カタマランなので、海の水が目の前にあり、最高のサンセットでした。

参加していたのは、３０人位で、日本人は7人位ですね。
杖をついている年配の（多分米国系）の方も参加されていました。
急な、梯子を数段上るので、注意です。
説明は、英語のみでしたが、判らなくても何とかなりました。

セイリング中は、とても気持よかったです。
最前列の座っていましたが、ここは下から海の水がかかり、
スプレーでティーシャツがビショビショになりました。
水着の上に服を着ているのが、正解です。
（ヨットの前半分の足元はネットになっています）

夏でも、水をかぶると寒いくらいでした。
ウィンドブレーカー等が必要ですね。
