All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

This was my second time surfing. I looked for various options, but I think this was the cheapest. There were quite a few participants, about 12 people. There were 3 instructors. When you go to the instructors, they push you when a good wave comes. Everyone was able to ride the waves properly. However, it seemed like the women had a hard time paddling.

サーフィンは２回目でした。色々なオプショナルを探しましたが、ここが一番安かったと思います。参加人数は割と多めで１２人ほどいました。インストラクターは3人でした。インストラクターさんの元に行くといい波が来た時にプッシュしてくれます。みんなちゃんと波に乗ることができていました。ただ、女性はパドリングが大変そうでした。

It was my first experience with parasailing abroad. My husband and I participated together. At the reception, there wasn't a guide who could speak Japanese, so we had to pick up the atmosphere, but it was manageable even though we couldn't speak English. There weren't any situations that required much conversation aside from the reception, so it wasn't a problem. The parasailing was truly amazing, and I'm glad I did it! If I come back on another trip, I definitely want to sign up again!

初めての海外でのパラセイリング体験でした。夫婦2人での参加。受付では日本語がちゃんと話せる案内人がいないため、雰囲気で感じ取る感じでありましたが、英語が話せない私達でもまあ大丈夫という感じでした。受付以外は特に話が必要な場面がなかったので特に問題ありませんでした。パラセイリングは本当に最高で、やって良かったです！また旅行に来たら是非もう一度申し込みたい！

It's scarier than a roller coaster. However, the view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head made me forget the fear for a moment.

ジェットコースターより怖い。
でも、ワイキキのホテル群、ダイアモンドヘッドの景観は、怖さを忘れたひと時でした。

I was able to stand up even as a beginner because I practiced with a slightly larger board! Aside from the person who explained things at the beginning, there was no one who spoke Japanese at the beach, but they communicated with simple words, so I didn't have any trouble. This is aimed at people who want to try surfing for fun, and I think those who want more serious instruction might want to take a separate private lesson.

少し大きめの板で練習するので初めてでも立つことが出来ました！最初に説明をしてくれる人以外、海では日本語を話せる人はいないですが、簡単な単語で話してくれるので困りませんでした。まずはサーフィンをやって楽しんでみたいという人向けで、本格的に教えてもらいたい人は別のプライベートレッスンを受けるのがいいのかなと思います。

Since I was with my mother, who is not a strong swimmer, and my 2-year-old child, I participated for the first time. It was interesting just to see the submarine surfacing while we were out on the cruise ship. Additionally, the time spent out at sea allowed us to enjoy the view of Waikiki from the ocean side, and Diamond Head looked beautiful as well, making for a pleasant little cruise. As for the diving itself... it felt like there were fewer fish than I had imagined, and the overall experience was somewhat lacking. It might be due to the season.

かなづちの母と2歳のこどもが一緒だったので、初参加しました。
クルーズ船で沖まで出て、そこに潜水艦が浮上してくる様子を見るだけでも面白いです。
そして、沖に出る時間もワイキキの景色を海側から眺められ、ダイアモンドヘッドもきれいに見えますので、ちょっとしたクルーズも楽しめます。
肝心の潜水は・・・というと・・・想像していたよりも魚が少なく、見ごたえ感は弱い印象でした。季節によるのかもしれません。

There was only one group of Americans and us. The guide was also American, so I didn't understand the language very well, but everyone was nice, so I had a great time. The sea was beautiful, so I highly recommend it. If you pay $30, you can have your photos taken and receive them on an SD card. The boat does sway quite a bit, and if there are many participants, the boarding time will be longer, so it's better to take motion sickness medication in advance.

アメリカ人のグループ１組と自分達だけでした。
ガイドもアメリカ人なので言葉はよくわからなかったけど、みんな良い人だったので楽しめました。とにかく海がきれいだったのでオススメです。
３０ドル払えば写真を撮ってもらってSDカードで貰うことが出来ます。
船はわりと揺れますし、参加人数が多ければ乗船時間も長くなるので、酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が良いです。

On the last day of our trip to Hawaii, we went parasailing! You can choose from 90m, 120m, and 150m when you sign up, but as mentioned in the reviews, the staff on-site don't really pay attention to that (laughs). You can go as high as you want! So, I recommend the cheaper 90m option.

It seems that the lighter you are and the stronger the wind, the higher you go. We were on a small boat with a total of five groups from various countries, and each group was taken up one by one for about an hour. When you go up, the other groups left on the boat wave at you, and when you come back down, everyone applauds. By the time the sixth group finished, a strange friendship had formed among everyone on the boat (laughs).

My husband and I were the first to go, and our combined weight was about 110 kg, so we were probably the lightest participants. Because of that, the rope went up straight from the boat, and we were lifted higher than any other group. An American couple with a dynamite body struggled to gain altitude at first, and I think they ended up at about two-thirds of our height.

The last group, a girl from Korea, seemed terrified of heights and the ocean, and she broke down in tears... we all comforted her.

The boat rocked incredibly. It was like swaying like a leaf... I really felt that. I took motion sickness medicine, but I still got seasick. While I was down at the dock, a beautiful blonde woman from the same boat gave me some dry ginger, and the bus driver gave me some bread. Everyone was very kind and nice.

For $30, they take photos of you while you're parasailing. It's impressive how the staff can stand on such a rocking boat and handle a DSLR camera. You can buy the SD card on the way back.

Make sure to take motion sickness medicine, apply sunscreen well, and if you have long hair, it's good to tie it up. (There are many close-up photos, but I intentionally selected some distant ones.)

ハワイ旅行、最終日✨パラセイリングしました
90m120m150mと申し込み時に選べるのですが、こちらの口コミ通り、現地スタッフは全く気にしていません(笑)上げられるだけ上げられます✨なので、料金の安い90mがオススメです
おそらく体重が軽い＆風が強いほど高く上がるようです。
様々な国の人達合計５組で小さな船に乗り、小一時間の間に一組ずつ順番に空に上げられます⤴
空に上がると、船に残っている他の組の人たちが手を振ってくれ、空から帰ってくると拍手が起こります。６組が終了する頃には船全体に不思議な友情が生まれました(笑)
私たち夫婦はトップバッターで、２人あわせて体重が１１０キロほどだったので、おそらく参加者の中で一番軽かったと思います。そのせいか、ロープが船から垂直に上がり、どの組よりも高く上げられました。ダイナマイトバディなアメリカ人の御夫婦は、最初もなかなか高度があがらず、最終的な高さも私たちの３分の２程度だったと思います。
最後の組の韓国人の女の子は高所も海も恐怖らしく、泣き崩れてしまい…皆で慰めました
とにかく尋常じゃなく船が揺れます。木の葉のように揺れる…とはこのことかと
酔い止めを飲んでいましたが私はseasickになりました。船着き場でダウンしていると、同じ船に乗っていた金髪の美女がドライジンジャーをくれましたバスの運転手さんはパンをくれました。皆さんとても親切で優しいです。
３０ドルでパラセイリング中の写真をとってくれます。あんなに揺れる船に立って一眼レフカメラをかまえるスタッフさんは本当にすごいです。帰りにＳＤカードを買い取る仕組みです。
酔い止めを飲んで、日焼け止めはしっかり塗って、髪の毛が長い人はまとめておくと良いです。
（写真はアップのものも沢山ありますが、あえて遠めのものをセレクトしました。）

When I got off the bus, it was cloudy with a light rain, the waves were somewhat high, and the wind had picked up. As we were finally about to depart, my heart, having passed my sixtieth birthday, was a bit excited. However, the rain stopped, and a magnificent rainbow appeared, making the scenery absolutely stunning. The height of 150 meters provided a long hang time, creating the best memories.

バスから降りたときは、くもりでにわか雨交じりでした、波もやや高く、風も強くなって来ました、いよいよ出発となり還暦を過ぎた私の心臓はやや興奮気味でしたが、にわか雨が止み、見事な虹が現れ景色最高、150ｍの高さは滞空時間も長く最高の思い出となりました。

This time, we participated as a couple. The pickup arrived on time. It was our first time parasailing, and we were able to see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from above the ocean. The staff was entertaining, and it was a lot of fun. I definitely want to go parasailing here again on our next trip to Hawaii!

今回は、夫婦で参加しました。
ピックアップも時間通りに来てくれました。
初めてのパラセイルでしたが、ワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドも海の上から見ることができ、スタッフの人も面白く、とても楽しかったです。また、ハワイ旅行の際にはぜひこちらでパラセイルしたいです！

We were blessed with great weather and were able to see a truly beautiful sunset. Surrounded by a fun captain and mostly non-Japanese guests, I had a wonderful time even though I don't understand much English. The boat didn't sway as much as I expected, and no one got wet at all. We stepped into the sea a few steps to board the boat, and then we were barefoot inside the boat the whole time. You can see a different view of Diamond Head too! I definitely want to join again if I have the chance!

お天気にも恵まれ、本当にきれいなサンセットを見ることができました。楽しい船長さんと、ほとんど日本人以外のお客さんに囲まれて、英語があまり分からなくてもとても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。船は思ったより揺れず、全員全く濡れませんでした。海に数歩入って階段を登って乗船、その後ずっと船内裸足です。ダイヤモンドヘッドもいつもと違う顔が見られますよ～。機会があればぜひまた参加したいです！

Great time with a great crew! Yummy cocktails, too!

I’ve done alot of catamaran ridees in waikiki as a local. This one was good, but not the best. The boat is good, the crew is great! There are many catamarans to choose from and this one would be my #2 choice. They only do either a sunset or a firework cruise, but not both, however it’s about half the price of my #1. #1 would be the Molikini friday night sunset/firework/dinner catamaran. This boat is good for the value and you will definitely enjoy it.

I decided to make a bold reservation for our honeymoon memories! At first, I thought about going for 150m, but I got scared and opted for 120m instead. The view was absolutely amazing, and I was so moved that my fear disappeared, and I couldn't stop laughing!

There were four groups during our time slot, all of whom were Japanese, which made me feel relieved. Everyone was very nice, and we exchanged a lot of information, making it a very enjoyable time!

The boat attendant was also a lot of fun and took many photos for us. The data cost $30, but I decided to purchase it. When I looked at the photos later, they turned out great (laughs). It became the best memory of our honeymoon! Thank you very much!

ハネムーンの思い出になればと、思い切って予約してみました！最初は150mと思ったのですが怖気づいて120mに。もう最高の眺めに感動して怖さも何処かいって、笑いが止まらなかったです！

私達の時間帯は4組で、全て日本人でホッとしました(^^)そして、皆様とても良い方々で色々情報頂いたり♡とても楽しい時間になりました‼

ボートの添乗員さんもとても楽しい方で沢山写真を撮って頂き…データは30$でしたが、思い切って購入。帰って見たらいい感じでした（笑）。ハネムーンで一番最高の思い出になりました！ありがとうございました‼

It was my first catamaran tour, and there were over 40 people on the tour, but there were no other Japanese participants. Since all the instructions were in English, there were many things I didn't understand, but I didn't have any particular problems and had a great time. The Mai Tai was very delicious, and since it was all-you-can-drink, I also had some wine. The next day it rained, so I was glad it was a sunny day!

初めてのカタマランツアー、40名を越えるツアーでしたが日本人もいなく、注意事項は全て英語の為わからないこと多かったですが特に困ることはなく、楽しくすごせました。マイタイもとてもおいしく飲み放題のためワインも頂きました。翌日は雨のため晴れた日で良かったです‼️

Very impresssed with the cat, cruise and the staff.

I was worried about what to bring, but there was a place to put my belongings under the boat seat, so I didn't have to worry. Since there were mostly Japanese people, we took pictures of each other and it was a pleasant atmosphere. The explanations were in English, but simple Japanese and easy-to-understand English were sufficient. The height that allowed us to overlook Waikiki was enjoyable!

持ち物がどうしたらよいか心配でしたがボートのシートの下に入れるところがあり心配いりませんでした。また日本人の方ばかりだったのでお互いに撮りあったり和やかでした。
説明は英語とありましたが簡単な日本語とわかりやすい英語で大丈夫でした。
ワイキキを一望できる高さは楽しかった～

I had some fear of heights, but once I actually tried it, I felt no fear at all and was captivated by the view from above. It really wasn't as scary as I expected. The captain was a nice guy too!

高さに恐怖心が多少ありましたが、いざやってみると恐怖心は全くなく、上から見れる景色に心奪われました。本当に思いの外怖くありません。
キャプテンもナイスガイでした！

The meal was average at the buffet, but the Hawaiian dancer staff livened things up with singing and dancing. The Rock-a-Hula show featured a performer who looked just like Presley, and the singing and dancing were great. As a fan service, they came up to the second floor and shook hands with each person.

食事はビュッヘで月並みだったが、ハワイアンダンサーのスタッフが歌ったり、踊ったりして盛り上げてくれた。ロック・ア・フラショーはプレスリーがそっくりで歌とダンスが良かった。ファン・サービスで２階席まで上がって来て、一人づつ握手してくれた。

I participated with my 22-year-old son. The time spent on the boat was more enjoyable than I had expected, and parasailing was a very fun experience with no swaying. We also took a lot of photos, and it was great that they were put on an SD card for us.

22歳の息子と参加しました
思っていた以上にボートに乗っている時間も楽しく
パラセーリングは揺れもなくとても楽しい体験でした。
写真もたくさん撮っていただいて SDカードに入れていただけたので良かったです

What an awesome way to see the Friday Fireworks. The crew on board were great fun.
We thought the drinks package was great value & would highly recommend it.

Since it was a catamaran, I didn't have to worry about seasickness and enjoyed plenty of free drinks like Mai Tais and champagne. I wish I had brought some snacks... The scenery is wonderful. It's romantic. As we got closer to Diamond Head, there was a lot of noise with dancing and singing to the music. It was about an hour, but it was fun. We took commemorative photos before boarding and bought them on the way back.

カタマランなので、船酔いの心配もなくフリードリンクのマイタイやシャンパンを沢山頂きました。おつまみ持参すれば良かったかな・・・
景色が素晴らしいです。
ロマンチックです。
ダイヤモンドヘッドに近づくと音楽に合わせてダンスしたり歌ったりと大騒ぎでした。
約１時間でしたが楽しかったです
記念写真を乗船前にとってもらい、帰りに買いました。

We were guided for priority entry by a suited manager in front of the waiting crowd when it was time to enter. We took cocktails and commemorative photos in the green room, and also borrowed costumes to take more commemorative photos backstage. The backstage tour was fun. Our table was in front of the stage, and the food was delicious. We ordered a celebratory cake, but we couldn't finish it, so we had it packed in a cake box to take home. After the show, we took many more commemorative photos. The show included both a variety show and performances featuring Michael and Elvis, which were enjoyable.

時間になると入場待ちの人達の前をスーツ姿のマネージャーに案内されて優先入場。
グリーンルームでカクテルと記念写真を撮り、舞台裏でも衣装を借りて記念写真を撮りました。
バックステージツアー楽しいです。
テーブルはステージ前で、食事も美味しかった。
記念のお祝いケーキを別注しましたが食べきれず、ケーキＢＯＸに入れてもらい持ち帰りしました。
ショーの終了後も沢山記念写真をとりました。
ショーもフラショーもあり、マイケルやエルビスもありで楽しかったです。

I decided to go on a trip to Hawaii with my colleagues, and I wanted to try something adventurous, so I chose parasailing. We opted for the middle course, which is 120 meters.

We gathered at 7:45 AM and boarded the boat at 8:00 AM. Since we had rented a car the day before, we arrived 30 minutes early to find parking.

At the reception, it was easy; we just handed over the printed voucher we had reserved in advance.

Since we had some time to spare, we enjoyed watching surfers riding the waves and leisurely exploring the beach.

We moved out to sea on the boat and began parasailing. I think there were about seven groups in total. It took about an hour for everyone to have their turn.

We were the last group to board the boat, but since the order was from the left side, we went up first. It was my first experience, and I screamed out of fear at first! However, once we were up in the air, the stunning views lifted my spirits, and my fear disappeared. (But we did joke about how to survive if we fell from that height, haha.) It was higher than I expected.

You can hold onto your camera or smartphone while parasailing. There are no specific restrictions. However, if you drop something, it won't come back, and when your feet touch the water, you might get splashed, so it's at your own risk.

The staff were very unique and kept us entertained throughout the hour. (I’m sorry I forgot their names.)

Next time I go, I was thinking of trying diving, but I might want to do parasailing again.

Seeing Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, and the small islands in the distance from the sea was breathtaking when we drove back to the North Shore the next day.

I highly recommend this activity!

会社の同僚とハワイ旅行に行くことになり、何か体験をしたいと思いパラセイリングを選びました。
コースは3つあるうちの真ん中120mコースです。

朝7:45集合で8時にボートに乗船。
私たちは前日にレンタカーを借りていたので、駐車場を探す分30分早めに集合しました。

受付では、事前に予約して印刷したバウチャーを渡すだけでOK。

時間まで余裕があったので、波乗りに来ているサーファーさんを眺めたりビーチを散策したりとゆっくり過ごすことができました。

ボートで海上まで移動し、パラセイリング開始。
全部で7組ほどいたと思います。
全組か体験するのに1時間ほどかかりました。

私たちは最後にボートに乗ったのですが、体験の順番は左側からなので1番最初に空の上へ。
はじめての体験で最初はこわーーーー！と叫んでしまいましたが、上空に行ってしまえば素晴らしい景色に気分が高揚し、恐怖心はなくなりました。
(でもここから落ちたらどうやって生き残るかという話はしました笑)
思ってたよりも高かったです。

カメラやスマホは持ったままでも大丈夫です。
特に注意されることはありません。
ただし、落としてしまったら二度と戻っては来ませんし、足が水につかったときに水しぶきがかかる可能性があるので自己責になります。

スタッフの方はとてもユニークで、1時間の間とても楽しませていただけました。
(お名前を忘れてしまってすみません。)


今度行くときはダイビングをしたいと思っていましたが、もう一度パラセイリングをやってもいいなぁ、と思っています。

海上から見るダイヤモンドヘッドや、ワイキキビーチ、遠くに見える小さな島みたいなものを翌日ドライブでノースショアに向かう途中逆から見られたときは感動しました。

おすすめのアクティビティです。

Honestly, I didn't expect it to be that much fun. I would like to sign up for the sunset cruising next year.

正直、あんなに楽しいとは思っていませんでした、来年はサンセットクルージングにお申し込みしたいと思います。

Challenging myself to 120 meters. The few minutes with the stunning blue ocean spread out below me became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii. You don't need to speak English! Motion sickness medication and sunscreen are a must. I don't think I was asked about "japoon," which everyone talks about, but the fun was doubled with the exquisite technique of "japoon"! If anyone is hesitating, I encourage you to challenge yourself before you think too much.

120メートルに挑戦。眼下に広がる真っ青な海と何も邪魔するもののない数分間はハワイ旅行の最高の思い出となりました。英語できなくても大丈夫です！酔い止め&日焼け止めは必須。皆が言ってるじゃぽーんは聞かれなかった気がしますが、絶妙なテクニックでじゃぽーんしてもらって楽しさ倍増でした！悩んでいる人がいたら悩む前にチャレンジしていただきたいです。

We used the service as a couple last December. The weather was a bit cloudy, which was a little disappointing, but the catamaran yacht racing across the sea felt great. I think it would have been even more enjoyable if we had a bit more time to relax out in the open sea.

昨年の12月に夫婦で利用しました。
天気が曇り気味だったので 少し残念でしたが、海を疾走するカタマランヨットは 気持ち良かったです。
沖で もう少し のんびりできる時間があったら もっと楽しかったと思います。

Great cruise!!! So picturesque and so much fun!!! Recommend ++++ met some great people!

The local staff really boosted the atmosphere, and I felt a sense of unity with the other guests who were also trying this for the first time. It was so much fun! Once we were up in the sky, all the fear disappeared, and it felt absolutely amazing!

現地のスタッフさんが雰囲気をめちゃ盛り上げてくれて一緒に同乗した他のお客さんたちとも初挑戦するという一体感ができてとても楽しかったです！
空に上がってしまえば怖さも吹っ飛びサイコーに気持ちよかったです‼️

It was awesome! The Captain was hilarious! Drinks were delicious! The view of Waikiki from the boat was great, and the sunset was beautiful. Met some lovely people. Highly recommend!!

The scenery was absolutely amazing! It ended in the blink of an eye, so I was a bit disappointed that I wanted to enjoy it a little longer!

景色が最高に良かったです！
あっと言う間に終わったので、もう少し楽しみたかったのが少し残念でした！
