I chose the 150m plan. It seems they determine the order of jumps based on the length of the rope, and we were the last of the five groups. The boat swayed a bit, but it was manageable as I gazed into the distance. No one got seasick, perhaps because the weather was nice.
The sky walk allows you to leisurely feel like a bird!
The $30 photo service included 135 photos, including videos during the sea splash! I wasn't too keen on it at first, but I thought it would be a shame not to, and it turned out to be a great decision! The two crew members were very service-oriented. There was no pressure to tip, and they made us laugh with occasional Japanese, making it a fun experience.
I also took photos from the air with a waterproof camera!
150mプランにしました。ロープの長さで飛ぶ順番を決めているようで、私たちは5組中一番最後でした。ボートは少し揺れますが遠くを眺めていたら大丈夫な程度。誰も酔ってませんでした。天候が良かったからかもしれません。
空の散歩は、のんびりと鳥になった気分が味わえます!
$30の写真サービスは、海チャポン時の動画も含め135枚もありました!あんまり乗り気じゃなかったけど、せっかくだし…とお願いして正解!クルーの2人もサービス精神旺盛です。無理にチップをせまられることもなく、たまの日本語で笑わせてもらい、楽しく過ごせました。

I participated in the 150-meter activity.
With a reservation at 1 PM, we gathered at the hotel at 12:40 PM and disbanded around 2:30 PM, making it a very compact and enjoyable activity.
We set off from the harbor next to Hilton Hawaiian Village.
There were four pairs participating, but the other three pairs were from Europe and America.
The instructions were in English only, but nothing was particularly difficult to understand.
You can easily grasp things like how to bend your legs and not to touch the carabiner through gestures.
The height choice is a bit tricky, but in Europe and America, the wire length is likely indicated in feet.
So, the height of 150 meters corresponds to a wire length of 300 meters, which is approximately 1,000 feet.
Since it sounds nice and round, I think many people would choose the 1,000 feet option.
(The sticker said 1,000. The other two pairs also chose 1,000, while one pair chose 600.)
You can see Waikiki in the distance, but honestly, it feels quite far away,
so I don't think the difference in visibility due to height is that significant.
Of course, the time spent in the air is proportional to the height.
That said, I think any height would be fine, but I recommend the popular height of 150 meters (1,000 feet of wire).
Photos are available for $30.
They took about 130 pictures at a quality of around 3.5 mega.
They will give you a 1-gigabyte SD card directly.
They use a DSLR for continuous shooting, so I think it's worth buying.
You can't stop yourself from bringing a camera up in the air.
Since there's a splashdown into the sea at the end, a waterproof type is essential,
and make sure to attach a safety line in case you drop it from your hands.
A boat cruise off the coast of Hawaii?
You can enjoy an aerial swim while looking at Waikiki and Diamond Head in the distance,
feeling the pleasant breeze.
I recommend you experience it at least once!
Oh, I think it's safer to take motion sickness medication beforehand.
150メートルに参加してきました。
13時の予約、ホテル集合12時40分、ホテル解散14時30分頃と、
非常にコンパクトに楽しむことができるアクティビティです。
ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ横のハーバーから、沖に出ます。
2人ずつ4組の参加でしたが、残り3組は欧米の方でした。
英語のみの説明ですが、特に難しいことはありません。
足の曲げ方とか、カラビナ触っちゃダメとか、身振り手振りで十分理解できます。
選択が悩ましい高度ですが、
欧米だとワイヤーの長さがフィート換算で案内されているのでしょう、
高さ150メートルが、ワイヤー300メートル≒1,000フィートになり、
キリが良いのでしょう、1,000フィートを選ぶ方が多いと思われます。
(シールは1,000と貼られました。他2組も1,000、1組600)
ワイキキは遠くに見えますが、正直遠いので、
高度による見え方の差はそこまでないのではと思います。
もちろん、滞空時間は高度に比例します。
ということで、どれでもいいと思いますが、
メジャーと思われる高度150メートル(ワイヤー1,000フィート)をおすすめします。
写真は、30ドル。
3.5メガほどの画質で、130枚程度撮ってもらいました。
1ギガのSDカードをそのまま渡してくれます。
一眼レフの連射を使ってくれますし、買って損はないと思います。
上空にカメラを持っていくのも止められませんでした。
最後に海ポチャがあるので、防水型必須、
手から落とした時のために、命綱をつけておきましょう。
ハワイ沖をボートクルーズ?、
遠くにワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながらの空中遊泳、
心地よい風を感じることができます。

We also requested a video for all nine of us for $30, which they handed to us on an SD card on the way back. It was very calm on the sea, and we were blessed with good weather.

Pick up location is litterally right behind the Ilikai Hotel where we stayed. Crew was fun and interactive. Watched others ahead of us go up and come back and the crew took pictures. We however went up (1000ft) and during our return back to the boat, the hydraulic system failed and caused a large whiplash surge to us. Banged our legs against the line but no real damage. Then I noticed a crew member removing his shirt. Why would he do that? Because he was going to get in the water. So we started to touch down into the water, but unlike the others we did not come back up. The parachute and lines sank in the water along with us and we had to release ourselves from the harness as we were being dragged. The one crew memeber dove in to gather the chute as we swam back to the boat.
Best part? I got the whole thing on my chest mounted GoPro. We were fine and it was still quite fun. We just got a bonus. So why did I give it 4/5 stars? Since I was filming it all I recorded only a little over 7 minutes when it was supposed to be a 10 minute round trip ride. So if you go bring a timer and make sure you get what you paid for.
Other than that I do recommend.

It was my first time parasailing!
Unfortunately, the weather was not great with some rain and cloudy skies, which made the view disappointing, but it gave me a reason to challenge myself to try again next time! (laughs)
I had seen reviews mentioning that some people couldn't get on the trolley, so I was worried, but I was able to board the trolley without any issues. The staff mainly spoke English, but they also spoke a little Japanese, and for the important explanations, they provided a sheet written in Japanese, which was reassuring.
The parasailing experience itself was simply amazing! It was a unique experience to look down at Waikiki from above the ocean, which was really great. The boat was quite rocky, and while I didn't get seasick, those who are prone to motion sickness might want to take some medication just to be safe. However, the day I participated, the sea was unusually rough, so it might have been particularly bumpy...
初めてのパラセイリングでした!
あいにくの天気で雨がぱらついたり、曇っていて景色は残念でしたが次回チャレンジに挑む理由ができました!笑
口コミでトロリーに乗れなかった方がいると見ていたので心配でしたが、難なくトロリーに乗ることができました。
スタッフの方もメインは英語を話されていましたが日本語も少し話されていましたし、大事な説明の部分は日本語で書かれた用紙を渡されますので安心でした。
パラセイリング自体は最高の一言!
上からワイキキを海から見下ろすなんて事はなかなかできない体験だったのでとてもよかったです。
船の上ではかなり揺れが激しく、私は酔いませんでしたが酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲む方が安心かもしれません。
ただ、私が参加した日は現地の方も珍しいという程海が荒れていたので特別揺れただけかもしれませんが…

The tour consisted of 12 people in groups of two and three. Usually, the pickup van for tours is late, but this one arrived on time.
We took a large boat until we reached the sea. Since the sun was quite strong, I was glad I wore a UV cardigan over my swimsuit. The instructions for putting on the equipment were in English, as mentioned in other experiences, but they used gestures to explain, so I understood it somewhat. Plus, they guided us, so it was fine to just go with the flow.
I attempted the 150m challenge, and while the cable swayed a bit like a swing when it stretched, that added to the thrill and made it fun. Up high, it was very quiet, and I could feel the wind in the sky, which was an amazing feeling. (I took off the cardigan.) The men participating wore life jackets and swim trunks, and after jumping, they put on their T-shirts again.
During the landing, we were soaked up to our waists in the sea, and it was funny to see ourselves recorded on the SD card. I highly recommend buying the SD card ($30). Just let them know "SD please" before you go parasailing, and it's all set. We looked like we were having a great time in the photos.
If I do it again, I noticed that I was mostly showing my backside in the pictures, so I plan to place the guard closer to my thighs like my husband did for more stability.
2人3組、3人2組の、計12人でのツアーでした。
ツアーだとお迎えのバンは大抵遅れるのですが、こちらは時間とおりに到着してくれました。
海へ出るまでは大型ボートに乗ります。かなり日差しが強かったのでUVカーディガンを水着の上に羽織って正解でした。
器具を装着するなどの説明は、体験談にあるように英語でしたが、ジェスチャーで表現してくれるので何となくわかりました。それにやってくださるのでそのままGOで大丈夫です。
150mに挑戦しましたが、ケーブルが伸びる時にグラっとぶらんこのように少し揺れますが、それがまた恐怖で楽しかったし、高い高い上空はとても静かで、空の風を肌で感じることが出来たのが、最高の気分でした。(カーディガンは脱ぎました)
参加された男性もライフジャケットに海パンというスタイルで、飛んだ後にまた手持ちのTシャツを着るという感じでした。
着陸の時には腰まで海に浸かって、びしゃびしゃな私たちがSDカードに記録されていて可笑しかったです。SDカード($30)は絶対買った方がいいです。パラセイリングで飛ぶ前にSDプリーズと伝えればOK。
とても楽しそうな自分たちが写っていました。
次回やるとしたら、ひざに近いモモ裏にガードをあてたらお尻ばかり見せるように写っていたので、こんどは安定していた主人のようにお尻に近いモモ裏にガードをあてようと思います。

I love roller coasters, but my experience was incredibly scary. At first, it was fun being close to the ocean, posing for the camera, and having a great time, but as the height increased, the fear became so overwhelming that I couldn't even speak. It was definitely less than 10 minutes, but it felt like a really long time to me, and I found myself wishing to get off. However, since they don't let you off right away, I reluctantly calmed down and looked around... what a breathtaking view. The ocean was a deep blue, and I could see all of Waikiki. I wanted to engrave that sight in my memory and forgot about my fear. The "ocean splash" when they finally let you down brought back the fun and made me feel at ease. It was a different kind of thrill and an amazing view compared to typical thrill rides. I wondered if 45 meters would be embarrassing, so I went for 90 meters, but while I was flying, I couldn't tell how high it was... and the photos taken were too far away, so I thought 45 meters would have been enough. This was one of the most memorable experiences during my trip to Hawaii, so I will definitely participate again next time.
ジェットコースターが大好きな私ですが、感想はめちゃめちゃ怖かったです。
始めは海も近くて楽しくて、撮ってくれるカメラに向かってポーズ取ったりしてはしゃいでいましたが、どんどん高さが増していき言葉が出ないくらいの恐怖でした。
確かに10分弱くらいですが私にはすごく長い時間に感じ、もう降ろして欲しいと思ってしまいました。
でも、すぐには降ろしてくれないので仕方なく落ち着いて周りを見ると、、、
何とも言えない絶景。
海が真っ青、ワイキキ一望。
目に焼きつけたくて怖さも忘れました。
降ろしてくれる時の『海ポチャ』が、これまた楽しさが甦って安心させてくれます。
絶叫マシンとはまた違ったスリルと絶景。
45Mだと恥ずかしいかな?なんて思って90Mにしましたが、飛んでる私には高さはわからず、、、撮ってくれる写真も遠くなってしまうし、45Mで十分かなと思いました。
今回の渡ハの中でかなり印象深かったので、次も絶対参加です。

I experienced stand-up paddleboarding. First, I was worried about the explanation in English, but a Japanese staff member kindly explained everything to me. The instructor was a foreigner who was cheerful and nice, but there was hardly any guidance once we got out on the water, so I had to rely on my memory of the initial instructions to manage on my own. However, I was able to stand up relatively easily and enjoyed it.
There were a few disappointing things, though. When I returned to the reception after the lesson, the instructor handed me a towel, but the Japanese woman at the reception told me that only Royal Hawaiian guests could use the towels and took it away from me. I was charged $50 plus tax even though it was supposed to include photos. Since I thought there would be photos included, I hadn’t prepared my own camera, so I had no choice but to purchase the photos. The lesson itself was a lot of fun, so it was unfortunate. Later, VELTRA refunded me for the photo fee.
スタンドアップパドルを体験しました。
まず、英語での説明に不安があったので日本人のスタッフが丁寧に説寧してくれました。
インストラクターは外国人の方で明るくていい人でしたが、海に出てからの指導がほとんどなかったので最初の説明を思い出しながら自力でなんとかするって感じでした。
でも割とすんなりと立つことができ楽しめました。
ただ残念なことがいくつかありました。
レッスンが終わって受付に戻った際、インストラクターがタオルを渡してくれたので持っていると受付の日本人女性にロイヤルハワイアンの宿泊者のみがタオルを使えるんです!と言われ取り上げられました。
写真つきとなっていたのに50ドル+税を請求されたこと。
写真つきだと思っていたので自分たちのカメラを用意していなかったため写真を購入するしかなかったこと。
レッスン自体はすごく楽しかったので、残念でした。

I tried surfing for the first time at the age of 62. Since I was good at skiing, I thought I could manage it and signed up casually. I imagined that balance would be important, so I did some mental training in preparation. However, the pickup was 30 minutes late, the instructions were all in English (which I couldn't understand), the semi-private lesson instructor was unfriendly (sorry for being an old guy!), and to top it off, the weather was bad, so my surfing experience left a lot to be desired. In the end, I think I managed to stand longer than the talent Junji Takada.

I joined this activity because the reviews were great. To put it simply, it was incredibly fun!!!
On the day of the event, the van arrived on time to pick us up and took us to the harbor. We boarded the boat smoothly without any waiting. My husband and I took motion sickness pills beforehand, so we enjoyed the cruise out to sea without feeling sick. I couldn't catch most of the English explanations (laughs), but it was totally fine! They take care of everything.
Many reviews mentioned that they weren't scared and wanted to try something higher next time, so I boldly decided to challenge the 150m! I took their advice and said things like "many many photos, please!" and "At finish, under knee please!" (laughs). I wanted to take photos from above, so I brought a waterproof camera and, on a whim, a non-waterproof DSLR. ← Reckless.
Finally, it was time for takeoff. We were lifted from the back of the boat and went up a little at first. As we drifted away from the boat, the loud sounds of the engine and waves suddenly disappeared, and my husband and I were surprised by how quiet it became. As others have mentioned, it truly felt like a space just for the two of us. It was so quiet up there that we could chat normally.
We didn't go up all at once; it was a gradual ascent. Honestly, I wasn't sure if we were really at 150m. If the ground were directly below us, things would look small and I might feel scared, but since it was just endless ocean, there was no sense of distance, and even if we fell, it would be into water (though there would be impact), so I thought it wasn't scary at all.
When we went, there was little to no wind, so it was stable and we weren't tossed around at all. After enjoying about 10 minutes of our aerial stroll, we slowly descended as the wire was reeled in, and as I requested, we landed with just our feet touching the water. Since my DSLR wasn't waterproof, I raised the camera above my head to protect it at that moment. (It was fine, but I can't guarantee it, so please don't imitate me! I did it with the understanding of my own responsibility.)
They picked us up at 9:40, so we had plenty of time for breakfast, and we arrived at the hotel before noon, which gave us enough time to enjoy the afternoon. It was very compact and I highly recommend it!
I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time doing such an activity. I'm really glad I participated. Next, I want to challenge the 180m. "150m is about one-third of Tokyo Tower..." you don't need to worry about silly things like that! (laughs) I highly recommend it☆☆☆
こちらのレビューの評価がよかったので参加しました。
結論から言うと、めっちゃめちゃ楽しかったです!!!
当日は時間通りに迎えのバンが来てくれて、ハーバーへ。待たされることもなくスムーズにボートへ乗船。
私も主人も酔い止めを飲んで行ったので、気分が悪くなる事なく沖までのクルージングを楽しめました。
説明は全て英語でほとんど聞き取れなかったですが(笑)、全然大丈夫です!全部やってくれます。
ここのレビューで「怖くなかったから次はもっと高いのにチャレンジしたい」というご感想が多かったので、思いきって150mにチャレンジ!
レビューを活かして「many many photos,please!」とか、「At finish,under knee(最後に水につかるのはヒザの下で) please!」と言ってみたりしました(笑)
上空からの写真を撮りたくて、防水カメラと、一か八かで防水でない一眼レフを持って行きました。
←無謀。
いよいよテイクオフ。
船の後方から上げられ、まずは少しだけ上がります。
ふっと船から離れると、さっきまで聞こえていたエンジンや波の大きな音がすぅっとなくなり
一気に静かな空間になったのには主人と2人で驚きました。
他の方も書かれていますがまさに2人だけの空間。上空はとっても静かなので普通におしゃべりができました。
一気には上がらず少しずつ少しずつ。
正直150mもあるかな?という高さの感覚でした。もし真下が地面だったら物が小さく見えて高さを実感し怖いかもしれませんが、ひたすら海なので遠近感がないのと、万一落ちたとしても水だし(衝撃はありますが)という感じで怖くないのかなと思いました。
私たちが行った時は風がないか弱いぐらいだったので、安定していて振り回されるようなことは全くありませんでした。
10分ほど?空中散歩を楽しんで、ゆっくりとワイヤーが巻き取られて、伝えた通り足だけ着水。
一眼レフが防水でないため、その瞬間頭の上にカメラを上げて守りました。(大丈夫でしたが保証できませんので真似しないで下さいね!当方自己責任の覚悟があってやっております)
9:40に迎えにきてくれたので朝ごはんもゆっくり取れましたし、12時前にはホテルに着いたのでお昼からも十分に時間を使え、とってもコンパクトでおすすめです!
ハワイは何度か来ていますがこのようなアクティビティは初めてでした。
思いきって参加して本当によかったです。次は180mに挑戦したいと思います。
「150mだと東京タワーの3分の1かぁ…」とか変な心配はいらないですよ!(笑)

We went to the venue as a family of four. There were three participants, and I attended as the photographer and videographer. First, the kind staff took the visitors to the practice area by shuttle. Thank you very much. The participating family said they had a great time. However, the practice area was in a shallow coral location, and once they got too caught up in the activity, everyone ended up needing the assistance of the ambulance. If you are a beginner, please remember to always carry a "first aid van." They mentioned they would like to participate again. That's all.
家族4名で会場へ出向きました。参加者は3名で、私は写真・ビデオ係で伺いました。まず親切な方たち(スタッフ)で見学者も海岸の練習場所まで送迎車に乗せていただきました。ありがとうございました。参加した家族は楽しかったと言っておりました。ただ、練習場所が浅瀬のサンゴのある場所で夢中になって陸に揚がったら全員が救急バンのお世話になりました、初心者受講の場合は必ず「救急バン」を忘れずに携帯してくださいね。また参加したいと言っておりました。以上

It was scheduled for the arrival day, but unfortunately, it was canceled due to rain and strong winds. Perhaps because there was no contact person available on-site, we received a message more than two hours after the meeting time. (Before that, I had confirmed with the Japanese staff at the hotel to postpone it, so it was fine.) After that, we kept postponing while watching the weather throughout our stay, and finally, we were able to go ahead on the last day♪
On the day, there were six groups with 12 people, and everyone except us was foreign. They provided various explanations while we were moving by boat, but I was anxious because I couldn't understand English. However, they later gave us a simple explanation in Japanese, so it was okay. Also, perhaps out of consideration, they talked to us a lot, and when they asked, "Honeymoon?" and I replied "Yes," they clearly extended our time in the air longer than for the other people. My husband, who was a bit nervous at first, was very impressed by the view from above.
I thought $30 for the photos was a bit expensive, but I decided to order them. They took pictures with the plane and captured us both smiling and enjoying ourselves, so I think it was worth it. I was extremely satisfied. It was worth waiting until the end without canceling♪
到着日に予定していたけど、生憎の雨と強風で中止。現地で連絡の取れる連絡先がなかったためか、集合時間から2時間以上過ぎて連絡が…。(その前にホテルの日本人スタッフに確認して頂き延期してもらってたので大丈夫でした)
それから、滞在期間中ずっと天候を見ながら延期し続けて最終日にやっと決行出来ました♪
当日は、6組12名で私達以外は皆外人さん。ボートで移動中に色んな説明をしているけど、英語が分からず不安でしたが後で日本語で簡単に説明してくれるので大丈夫でした。また、気遣ってもらってか色々話し掛けてくれて、「ハネムーン?」と聞かれ「はい」と答えると他の人達より明らかに飛んでる時間を長くサービスしてくれました。初めはビビり気味だった主人も、上空からの景色にとても感動していました。
写真も30ドルで少々高いかと思ったけど頼みました。飛行機と撮ってくれてたり二人共笑顔で楽しんでる所を残せたので良かったかなぁと思います。
大大大満足でした。キャンセルせず最後まで待ったかいがありました♪

On April 20th, my whole family took on the challenge. The wind was strong that day, and once we headed out to sea, the boat rocked quite a bit, so I thought for sure someone would get seasick. Fortunately, everyone returned in good spirits. Therefore, I recommend that even those who are somewhat resistant to motion sickness take some anti-nausea medication. However, parasailing offshore was absolutely amazing!
4/20に家族全員でチャレンジしました。
当日は風が強く、沖合に出るとボートがかなり揺れたので、必ず誰かが船酔いすると思いましたが、幸い皆元気に戻って来ることが出来ました。
だから、乗り物酔いに少々強い人でも、酔い止めを飲んでおくことをお薦めします。
でも、沖合いでのパラセーリングは最高に気持ち良かったですよ!

This tour was one that I had the most apprehension. The crew gave use great instruction and made the experience one that we will never forget. I highly recommend to all who visit Honolulu. The takeoff and landing was very smooth and the boat ride was awesome!

The pickup was smooth, and even though not much Japanese was spoken, the guide's response was good.
However, I felt a strong sense of being out of place since everyone around was a foreigner.
I think I would have enjoyed it more if there had been Japanese customers with us.
It seems we were at the highest altitude, but I couldn't really tell while flying (laughs).
I experienced a bit of seasickness, but the view from above was truly spectacular!
We took a lot of photos, and it became a great memory.
ピックアップもスムーズで、日本語はあまり通じないものも、ガイドさんの対応もよかったです。
しかし、周りが外国人ばかりでアウェー感がハンパなかったです。
日本人のお客さんと一緒だったらもっと楽しめたと思います。
私たちが一番高い距離だったみたいですが、飛んでる方はよく分からなかったです(笑)
多少の船酔いはありましたが、やはり上から見る景色は絶景でしたー!
写真もいっぱい撮っていただき、いい思い出になりました。
