Waikiki
I was a bit worried about the roller coaster since it seemed a little scary, but it was completely fine. I can't speak English, but there are Japanese instructions on the boat, and they give directions in Japanese when putting on equipment and during landing, which is reassuring. However, the pickup and check-in at the port are all in English, so I had to watch what others were doing... During the final splash into the sea, even strangers can really get excited together. The wind is strong up there, which is a bit scary, but the view is amazing, so I definitely want to do this again in Hawaii next time.
ジェットコースターも少し恐くなってきていたので大丈夫かと心配でしたが,全く大丈夫でした。
英語はしゃべれないけれど,船には日本語の説明書もあるし
装備を着けるときや着地の時は日本語で指示してくれるので安心です。ただしピックアップや港でのチェックインは全て英語なので周りをみながらの行動になりましたが・・・
最期の海ポチャの時には知らない同志でも結構もりあがれます。上空は風が強いのでそれは少し恐いのですが眺めは最高なので次のハワイでも是非やりたいです。
I first learned about parasailing from the television, and I really wanted to try it! I felt no fear at all and soared high into the sky; it was incredibly refreshing! The view of the ocean from above is completely different!! The staff were cheerful and could speak some Japanese, so I felt at ease during the experience.
テレビをみて初めて知り、どうしてもやりたかったパラセイリング!
全く恐怖感もなく、空高く舞い上がりものすごく気持ちよかったです!
上からみる海の上は全然違う!!
スタッフの方も明るく、日本語も多少話せるので安心して体験できました。
It was fun, we were waiting for the climax once we got up there but never got it. There was a young girl and her grandpa and the staff was really good with them. There is a big push for tipping, despite the cost of the activity. We used their transportation and they were reliable.
It was what we expected and we had a good time.
This parasailing experience is awesome. The kids had a great time (it helped that I offered $20 for a "really good ride.) A crew member even offered to take pictures with my camera for me rather than charge for using theirs (and he took some really unique ones.) The crew was friendly. The shuttle service was on time (though we could have done without the pet bird in the cruise.) I highly recommend this company.
Our captain was hilarious, the view was spectacular, the drinks were fantastic...you must do this! We made some new friends on the cruise who are locals, I told them I hadn't expected to meet and locals since I thought it was more of a tourist activity they said it's the best value for your money on Oahu! It was so much fun! A tip: bring along your camera, a few ones to tip the bar tender and $5 to purchase the "shaker" (which is optional). And for the ladies... YES! there is a potty on board!
I went to Northshore with the intention of relaxing and taking it easy. At the beach, I took off my shoes to feel the waves, observed a turtle basking in the sun just a meter away, leisurely walked along a simple path, and admired the mangoes abundantly growing in the gardens of ordinary homes...
Now, we had dinner at Sunset Beach. There was a shrimp farm at the northern end, and they prepared fresh shrimp from there in a picnic box for us. I was pleased to see that our guide was mindful of the timing to provide us with warm dishes.
I recommend this place for those who want to unwind.
Northshore は、ゆっくり・のんびりを目的にして行きました。浜では、裸足になって波を感じ、上陸して日向ぼっこ中の亀さんを1メートル先に観察し、何と言うこともない道をのんびり歩き、マンゴーが普通の家の庭にたわわに実っているのを眺め・・・
さて、Sunset Beach で夕食をしました。北端に海老の養殖場があって、そこからの新鮮な海老を調理してピクニック用ボックスにしてくれました。我々に暖かい料理を提供しようとガイドさんが時間配分に気を使っているのが嬉しかったです。
のんびりしたい人にお勧めです。
My boyfriend and I went parasailing to celebrate our anniversary, and it was awesome! The crew was polite, interactive, and entertaining, but at the same time safe and professional. The boat ride and the parasailing itself was lots of fun! I thought that it would be scary, but it was really easy and exciting and I wasnt that afraid at all. It was also romantic to parasail with my boyfriend, so this is a great activity for couples! (But friends and family as well.) I would suggest this activity to everyone, and would gladly do it again =]
We loved this event. What a wonderful view of the island. And it is so peaceful hanging over the water.
This was my first time parasailing and it was a blast!! My husband and I will definitely do this again!
I recommend this for anyone who is not afraid of heights. You can get a great view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea, and once you're up in the air, it's not as scary as you might think! The explanations are in English, but it's not a big problem if you don't understand them. As part of the service, you will fall into the sea once, so wearing a swimsuit and bringing a towel is essential. Also, it might be cold while you're waiting depending on the weather, so having a hoodie or something similar would be good.
高所恐怖症の方以外にはお勧めです。
ワイキキのホテル群やダイヤモンドヘッドが海上から一望できますし、上空に上がってしまえば思ったほど怖くないですよ!説明は英語ですが解らなくてもそれほど問題ありません。
サービスの一環?で一度海に落ちますので水着着用とタオルは必須です。あと待っている間天候によっては寒いかもしれませんのでパーカー等あればいいですね。
It was fun, but it was a very windy day! The seas were rough which made our parasailing very interesting! My husband, 6 year old and I flew together. I was squished in the middle and I also felt a bit sea sick. It wasn't as enjoyable as I thought because of the wind, but it was fun! The crew was wonderful!
It was a blast! From what I can remember...
The parasailing was a lot of fun. You go up and you sit in the sky for about eight minutes. The views are amazing, but your time seems a little short. It's very relaxing though, and the staff was definatly having fun with their job. The only thing that was a little surprising was the fact that they advertised literally exactly how much they were expecting to be tipped. At least $20. Other then that it was alot of fun.
Just before boarding, the trip was canceled due to poor visibility in the water, which affected the next schedule, but I was able to board the next day. It was my first experience, so I was excited. The boat ride to the submarine, feeling the sea breeze, was enjoyable and refreshing. However, the underwater view was not as clear as I had expected. I had imagined a slightly clearer sea. Overall, I think it's an experience worth trying at least once.
乗船する寸前で海中の視界不良で中止になり、次の
スケジュールへ影響しましたが、次の日に乗船する事が
できました。初めての経験でしたのでワクワクでした。
海風を浴びて潜水艦までの船も楽しく、気持ち良かったです。但し、海中は期待したよりきれいに見えませんでした。
もう少し、きれいな海を想像していたのですが。
まあ、全体的には1度は体験してみるべきと思います。
The experience was great.
The parasailing staff were awesome! It was a first time experience for my mother and boyfriend and they made it wonderful. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. They even offered a kamaaina rate to my father which allowed him to be on the boat with us. He really enjoyed that. We will definitely do it again someday and recommend to friends and family.
We enjoyed the parasailing part of the activity and the transport bus was timely and clean, but the overally experience was tainted by the heavy handed demand for $20.00 tips. Like having dinner at a nice restaurant where the waiter recommends/demand to know the amount of your intended tip before he/she recommending the catch of the day.
the blatant tip demand unfortunately tainted an othewise nice activity. We did tip and would have without the demand for tip, but the demand made me feel unwelcome. wouldnt come back only because of that.
other than that it was as advertised and enjoyable. maybe you dont care or want repeat business. mike.
This sunset cruise is recommended for those who want to enjoy a romantic evening as well as for those who want to have a lively time with friends. Most participants are foreigners, and the staff are cheerful sea men. With loud music playing, those who have had a few drinks create a lively atmosphere with dancing and singing.
The cruise starts while the sun is still high and lively, but as it turns back, the sun gradually sets, and the scenery changes completely. I think you'll be able to see a wonderful sunset and create lovely memories.
このサンセットクルーズはロマンチックな夕暮れを過ごしたい方にも仲間とにぎやかに過ごしたい方にもおすすめです。
というのも参加者の大方は外国人で、スタッフも陽気な海の男たちです。大音量で音楽をかけて酔いがまわった人たちはダンスや歌ににぎやかな雰囲気でした。
スタート開始はまだ日が高くにぎやかにスタートしますが、引き返すころにはだんだんと日が落ちてきてすっかり風景も変わってきます。素晴らしいサンセットが見れて素敵な思い出になると思います。

You can challenge yourself at various heights, but since I was there, I signed up for the highest one. I did a similar activity in Saipan before, but this one goes really high up!
I briefly thought about what would happen if I fell...
But honestly, the view was amazing, and I was able to enjoy a leisurely stroll in the air.
色々な高さに挑戦できますが、せっかくなので一番高いのに申し込みました。
以前サイパンで同様のアクティビティーをしたのですが、これはとにかく高くまで上がります!
落ちたら・・・
とか一瞬思いますが、ホント景色も最高で、ゆっくりと空中散歩を楽しめました。
All of the staff at Hans Hedemann are just wonderful, from the driver, to the instructor at the shop, all the instructors in the ocean, and even the cameraman! Everyone was just so friendly, laughing and smiling, and making sure we were having a good time. My fiance and I had an awesome time and would recommend this surf school to everybody. The pictures came out great, thank you camera man!
It was very memorable. The guy who picked us up from our hotel was entertaining. He has a little pet love bird in his van. He let us hold it and take pics with it. Our guide on the boat was funny too. He took pics on my camera and his (for purchase). Very friendly staff.
Parasailing with X-treme Parasailing was a wonderful activity. I thought it would be scary, but in actuality it was a very relaxing experience that I'll never forget. If you listen to the instructions the crew give you, your ride up and back down will be smooth and comfortable. Once in the air, you will experience a wonderful peace as you float high above the water.
I would highly recommend this activity to a wide range of people. We had a 3rd grader and a 62 year old on our boat, and each of them LOVED their parasailing experience. The crew was fun and put every one who was a little nervous at ease with their years of experience and humorous comments. Tipping was optional, and in no way did the crew make me feel like I HAD to tip. I was, however, happy to tip them for the great job they did!
This was my second time parasailing and it was great :)
We had booked a submarine tour for five family members, but on the day of the tour, the weather was bad, and we had to either cancel or reschedule. We were able to change it to another day at 9 AM. Even during the 9 AM slot, the commentary was in Japanese. The water was a bit murky, but we were able to see sea turtles, so we were satisfied.
家族5名でサブマリンツアーを予約していましたが、当日、天候が悪く、キャンセルか別の日へ変更ということになり、別の日の9時に変更していただきました。9時台でも日本語での解説でした。
ちょっと、水は濁ってはいましたが、ウミガメも見ることができたので、満足でした。
We had a great time on the boat, with the crue (they made us feel so comfortable and were on top of the situation - it was our first experience parasailing) and especially in the air.
We were flying above the Pacific Ocean :) This is one of the best things you could experience in your life.
I tried parasailing for the first time, and it was amazing, like flying in the sky! My sister and I participated together, and it felt like we were in our own world; the scenery was fantastic and wonderful. There was a service where you could take 24 photos for $15, and it seems like they capture pictures during the parasailing. I took motion sickness medicine beforehand, but I got seasick while waiting for others to finish parasailing, so the medicine is a must! I would love to try it again!
初めてパラセイルに挑戦しましたが、空を飛んでいるようで感動でした!!
妹と二人で参加しましたが、二人だけの世界のようで景色も最高で素晴らしかったです。
写真も24枚撮り$15でフィルムをくれるサービスがあり、パラセイル中の写真が収められているようです。
酔い止めを飲んで行きましたが、他の人のパラセイルを船で待っている間酔ってしまったので、酔い止めは必須です!!
またチャレンジしたいと思います☆★
I requested a pick-up, and I was surprised when I got into the car! Everyone except us was a foreigner. English was flying around in the car, and it seemed like everyone was having a great time. I, who am completely hopeless with English, was just staring blankly the whole time... But once it started, everyone got really excited, and it was a lot of fun. It was a very valuable experience. I wonder if only Japanese people pay tips?? I wasn't really sure about that...
送迎を御願いしたので、車に乗ってみてビックリ!!
私達以外、全員外国の方。
車内では英語が飛び交い、楽しそうです。
英語が全くダメな私は終始ポカーン…
でも、いざ始まると皆さんかなり盛り上がって楽しかったです。
とても貴重な体験でした。
チップは日本人だけが払うんですかね??
なんだか良くわかりませんでした。。。
We paid for the Deluxe package which is $20 more than the Standard package in order to go up to a higher height, and for 5 minutes more of flying (than the standard's 8 min). Well when we went out no matter what package you purchased, you only got 5 minutes in the air. TOTAL RIP OFF!! AND to top it off, by the end of the trip the 2 workers ASKED FOR $20 tips from everyone!! The actual flying was fun, but they should give you what you pay for.
