All Reviews for Watersports

I participated with my middle school son and my mother. There were four groups including us, consisting of people from European, African, and Hispanic backgrounds. The guide spoke only in English, but there weren't many explanations, so it was manageable as we took turns putting on our belts to fly!

Other points to note and things to be careful about:

- As many have mentioned, motion sickness medication is a must. There was one person on my boat who ended up feeling seasick.
- Although the meeting time is set for 30 minutes before, only the Japanese participants really adhered to it (laughs). I think arriving 10 minutes early would probably be fine!
- It seems that photo taking is optional. They will ask you on the boat, so make sure not to miss that if you want photos!
- Some people mentioned that the photo fee of $40 is cash only, but I was able to pay by card.
- After the flight, you can check the photos at the reception, and they will quickly transfer them to your phone and also provide an SD card (for iPhone users).
- The belt goes around your waist and you put your feet through it, but there was someone whose belt slipped down to their knees while flying, causing them to be in a position that was not seated but rather leaning back. It was quite nerve-wracking to watch. The crew does not check the belts during the flight, so it's best to confirm it yourself!

That's all. During the flight, I had a great conversation with my son about the pleasant wind and the blue sea at high altitudes, which became a wonderful memory. It’s a bit pricey, but I’m glad we participated. Priceless!

中学生の息子と母の二人で参加しました。
私たちと、欧米系、アフリカ系、ヒスパニック系の4組で参加。ガイドは英語オンリー。ですが、特に英語でもそんなに説明なく、ベルトを順につけて飛ぶのでなんとかなります！

それ以外の気づいた点や気をつけるべきこと。

・皆さん書いてますが酔い止め必須。私の船も1人だけ、最後は船酔いされてました。
・30分前集合、となっているが、ちゃんと守ったのは日本人だけ(笑) 10分前でも多分大丈夫です！
・写真撮影は希望制みたいです。船の上で聞かれるので、撮ってもらいたい方はそれを聞き逃さないよう！
・写真代40$は現金のみと書かれている方もいますが、カードで払えました。
・写真は降りた後に受付のところで確認の上、線を携帯につないで一瞬で取り込んでくれます＆SDもくれます(iPhoneの場合)。
・ベルトは足を通して腰で締めますが、足(お尻)の部分のベルトが下に落ちたまま(膝の方に近い位置のまま)飛んでしまった方がいて、その方だけ座る体勢ではなく、後ろ重心で寝るような格好になってしまい、見ているこちらがずっとハラハラしました。飛ぶ際にクルーの方はベルトの確認などしてくれませんので、しっかり自分で確認した方がいいです！

以上。
飛んでいる間に高いところで息子と風の気持ちよさや海の青さなど会話したこと、いい思い出になりました。
ちょっとお高いけど、参加してよかったです。プライスレス‼︎

小学1、3年の子供と体験しました。
2人とも最初は怖がっていましたが、最終的にはすごく楽しんで、またやりたいと言っていました。

係員の人も、とても雰囲気よくて、盛り上がりました。パラセーリング前の船でのクルージングも気持ちよかったです。
また体験したいと思います。

I went parasailing for the first time. I usually don't get motion sickness, but while waiting for others to finish parasailing, I felt really nauseous. Since we were the first ones to go, it didn't affect the parasailing itself, but I definitely got quite sick. Both of the staff members spoke English, and they could speak a little Japanese as well.

初めてパラセールをしました。
普段乗り物酔いはしない方ですが、他の方のパラセールを待っている間にめちゃくちゃ酔いました。私たちが1番初めにやったので、パラセール自体に支障はなかったものの、しっかり酔ってしまいました。
スタッフの方は2人とも英語でしたが、少しだけ日本語も話せていました。

I was not good with heights or screaming, but I didn't feel any sense of falling and was able to enjoy the stunning views. There were no Japanese participants or guides, but it wasn't a problem at all. The photo option was a bit pricey at $40, but I ordered it as a keepsake (I received it on an SD card, so I haven't checked the content yet). Considering that we did it together just once, I don't think the price is that high! It was amazing!

絶叫や高所が苦手でしたが、落ちる感覚は全くなく絶景を楽しめました。
参加者、ガイドには日本人はいなかったですが困ることはなかったです。
写真のオプションは40ドルと少し高めでしたが記念に残るので頼みました。(SDカードで受け取るのでまだ内容確認できていません)
一緒に一度と考えたら値段はそんなに高くないと思います！最高でした！

We had a blast with these experienced folks on the boat! They made sure we were safe and had everything we needed. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone who wants some fun in the sun on a boat!

It was my first time overseas and my first parasailing experience, so I was anxious, but the kind support made it enjoyable from start to finish!

はじめての海外で初パラセーリングだったので、不安でしたが最後まで親切な対応で最初から最後まで楽しめました！

I participated in the 150m jump since I was there anyway. The instructor primarily spoke English, but seemed accustomed to Japanese people, so there was no need to worry as they explained things in simple Japanese during the preparation. When I mentioned it was our honeymoon, the humorous instructor got everyone involved and made it lively. My companion was very scared, but once it started, the scenery was so beautiful that they forgot their fear. You need cash to take photos, but I’m glad I asked. They transfer the data to an SD card and smartphone.

せっかくならと150mで参加しました。
インストラクターの方は基本的に英語ですが、日本人に慣れているようで、準備の時は簡単な日本語で説明してくれるので心配ありませんでした。
ハネムーンだと伝えると周りの参加者を巻き込んで盛り上げてくれるユーモア溢れるインストラクターでした。
同行者はとても怖がっていましたが、はじまると景色がとても綺麗で怖さも忘れてしまったそうです。
写真を撮るのに現金が必要なのですが、お願いしてよかったです。
SDカードとスマホにデータを転送してくれます。

The view from 150 meters high was very pleasant and absolutely amazing! The explanations at the reception and the instructions for putting on the belts on the boat were easy to understand. There were four groups on board, and we were the first, but taking off while receiving cheers from the other groups waiting on the boat and splashing into the sea was also a lot of fun!! My feet and backside got a little wet, but it dried quickly. Since it was a rare and valuable opportunity, I asked for a photo shoot, purchased an SD card, and transferred the data to my smartphone as well. I'm glad I asked for the photos since we couldn't take them ourselves.

150mの高さから見る景色はとても気持ち良く最高でした！
受付での説明、船でのベルトなどの装着説明も分かりやすかったです。4組乗船して、その中で1番目でしたが船で待っている他のグループの人達からの歓声を受けて飛び立つのも、海にポチャッと落ちるのもまた楽しかったです！！足とお尻が少し濡れる程度なのですぐ乾きました。
滅多にない貴重な機会なので写真撮影をお願いしてSDカード購入、スマホにもデータを移行させてもらいました。自分たちでは撮れない写真なので頼んで良かったです。

The scenery was beautiful, and the breeze felt nice! It was also fun to dip into the sea when getting off! I would like to participate again.

景色も綺麗で、風もきもちよかったです！
降りる時に海に浸かってそれもまた楽しかったです！また参加したいと思います。

The weather was nice, and the view was amazing. It swayed a bit with the wind, but knowing the sea was below made it not so scary. I think those who are sensitive to motion should take motion sickness medication on the boat. I was mostly fine, but I felt a little queasy after getting off.

天気も良く、見渡す景色が最高でした。
時々風で揺れますが、下が海だと思うとそれほど怖くはなかったです。
船は揺れに弱い人は酔い止めが必要と思います。
私は大丈夫な方ですが、降りた後少し酔った感じがありました。

The pre-lecture was quite simplified with gestures and such. However, the captain and everyone else on board were all nice guys and very reliable. We went out to sea about three times to catch some waves, and on the second time, we managed to ride a pretty big wave, which was really exciting. It lasted about 25 minutes, but based on the waves we caught, it felt like it could have gone on a bit longer.

事前のレクチャーは、ジェスチャーなどで、かなり簡略化しています。
ただ船長はじめ、一緒に乗ってくれる方々は、みなナイスガイでとても頼もしいです。
波をつかまえに、３回ほど、沖の方へいき、２回目にかなり大きな波に乗れ、かなーり盛り上がりました。
だいたい２５分くらいで、終了でしたが、乗れた波の感じで、時間はもう少し長くなるのかな？って感じです。

Thank you for teaching me so kindly; I had a lot of fun and time flew by! It was easy to understand because you spoke in Japanese! I want to participate again!

丁寧に教えてくださり、とても楽しくあっというまに時間がなくなりました！日本語で話してくれたので分かりやすかったです！また参加したいです！

I made a last-minute reservation for parasailing in the morning!

I was told that for an additional $40, the crew would take photos, but since I brought my action camera, I declined (it was no problem to bring it on board).

Unfortunately, it was raining in the morning, so the scenery wasn't very beautiful...

However, I still got to enjoy the thrill and exhilaration of parasailing, and I saw a beautiful rainbow!

The captain gradually extended the rope, and once it was fully extended, he started to raise the altitude. In the end, we had the classic splashdown into the sea!

Thanks to the captain's sailing skills and the crew's attentive support, I had a great time!

I hope to do it again on a sunny day next time!

急遽パラセイリングをするため朝の時間で予約しました！
参加費と別で40ドルを払えばクルーの方が写真を撮ってくれるとのことでしたが
アクションカメラを持ってきていたので断りました（問題なく持って乗れます）

しかし朝はあいにくの雨で景色が綺麗とは言えず、、、

しかしパラセイリングの楽しさと爽快さ、そして綺麗な虹が見れました！

船長が徐々にロープを伸ばし最長まで伸びたら巻き上げ高度を上げていく流れです
最後はお約束の海面チャポン！

船長さんの操船テクニックやクルーさんの丁寧なサポートもあり楽しく過ごせました！

次は天気のいい日にできたら！

My wife and I participated together. It was my first time, and to be honest, it was amazing. It was my wife's second time, but it seemed to be much more challenging than before, and she was clinging to the rope in fear the whole time. Including those moments, it was a great memory.

妻と2人で参加しました。私は初でしたが率直に言って最高でした。妻は人生2回目でしたが以前よりかなり高度があったようで、ずっと怯えてロープにしがみついてました。そんなことも含めて良い思い出です。

I thought it might be a little scary, but the breathtaking views and the refreshing feeling are incredible. The captain has a great sense of humor, and you might get splashed in the sea once, haha. I want to experience it again!

少し怖いのかなと思っていましたが、絶景と爽快感半端ないです。船長さんユーモアで、一回海につけられます笑
また体験したいです

The sunset at Ala Moana was wonderful. The weather was perfect, and I had a valuable experience. It was neither too hot nor too cold, and I enjoyed a pleasant breeze.

アラモアナのサンセット。素晴らしかった。お天気もバッチリで貴重な体験できました。暑くも寒くもなく気持ちの良い風の中整いました。

First of all, the height is amazing.
The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from this height was fantastic!
Also, jumping into the sea before the collection was super fun.

まず高さが最高。
この高さからのワイキキからダイヤモンドヘッドの眺めが最高でした♪
さらに回収前に海にジャポンしてくれるのもめちゃ楽しかった。

The staff's service was perfect! They explained things in a way that was easy for us to understand, even though we hardly knew any English! Driving the boat was just right, and the speed was exhilarating!

スタッフの対応は完璧でした！
ほとんど英語が分からない自分達に分かりやすく説明ももらいました！
ボートを運転も程良くスピードも出してくれて爽快でした！

Although it was cloudy, we were able to get a panoramic view of Waikiki from a high vantage point. The contrast between the ocean and the city was stunning, and it really made me feel like I was in Hawaii! I highly recommend this for a first-day activity.

The local crew was also very friendly, which made the experience even better.

曇天の中の催行でしたが、ワイキキの町並みを高いところから一望できました。
海と街のコントラストももく、ハワイにやってきたな！と気分が上がりました♪
初日のアクティビティにおすすめです。

現地クルーの方も親切でとてもよかったです。

I went a while ago, and as soon as I arrived, they kindly guided me through the tour details. The tour itself had Japanese tourists as well, and I really enjoyed it! The guide from Hawaii was very lively, and during the parasailing, I felt like I had the Hawaiian sea all to myself. I could see Diamond Head clearly, and we went quite far out to sea, taking us to areas that are not accessible just for sightseeing. However, depending on the wave conditions, you can really get seasick. The guide was considerate and even gave me ginger candy after we returned to land. I'm really glad I participated.

時間前に行きましたが、行くとすぐに丁寧にツアー内容を案内してくれました。
ツアー自体も日本人観光客もいて、とても楽しめました！！
ガイドのハワイの方もたくさん盛り上げてくれましたし、パラセーリング中もハワイの海を独り占めしている気分で味わえました。ダイヤモンドヘッドまでしっかり見えて、かなり沖まで船で出るので、観光だけではいけない方の海まで連れて行ってくれます。ただ、波の状況によってはほんとに船酔いします。ガイドさんも気にしてくれて、地上に戻った後も生姜の飴をくれました。本当に参加してよかったです

Extraordinary parasailing! It was incredibly liberating, and the view of Hawaii was amazing. They also let us splash into the sea, and the service was very attentive!

非日常のパラセーリング！とても開放感があり、ハワイの景色を一望でき最高でした。海へちゃぽんもやってくださり、とても丁寧でした！

The boatman was cheerful, shouting "Shark!" and causing a commotion, even dropping me into the sea (just my bottom). It was a whirlwind experience that went by in no time.

船頭のお兄さんは明るく、サメだー叫ぶわチューせい喚くわ海に落とすわ(お尻だけ)大騒ぎで、あっという間の体験でした。

This was my second time participating! This time, there were Japanese receptionists and instructors, which made me feel very at ease! Surfing was also a lot of fun!

今回が2回目の参加でした！今回は日本人の受付の方とインストラクターさんがいてとても安心でした！
サーフィンもすごく楽しかったです！

It was all in English, but I managed to get by somehow! I enjoyed it while grooving to the music! I have a tendency to get motion sickness, and sure enough, I felt sick, but when I just said, "I feel sick," they quickly understood and guided me to a place where I could throw up. It was higher than I expected, but it felt good!

英語のみでしたが、何となくで乗り切れる感じです！
音楽にノリながら楽しめました！
私自身良いやすい体質で、案の定酔いましたが、「I feel sick（気分が悪いです）」だけ伝えるとすぐ理解して吐いてもいい場所まで誘導してくださいました☺︎
思ったより高く、気持ちよかったです

I had experienced this a few years ago and participated for the second time, and the fun was just as amazing as before!! The first pair of guys were completely soaked in the sea, but since we didn't want to get wet, we communicated that, and we managed to stay dry! Haha

数年前に一度経験しており2度目の参加でしたが、楽しさは変わらず最高でした！！最初の男性2人組は全身海に浸かって水びたしでしたが、私たちは濡れたくなかったのでそれを伝えたところ、濡れずに済みました！笑

For my first parasailing experience, I wanted to fly over the most beautiful sea, so I chose this location. The time spent gazing at the scenery of Hawaii from the sky was truly extraordinary. It was a sense of liberation and weightlessness that photos and videos can't capture. I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting wet.

人生初のパラセーリング、せっかくなら一番キレイな海で飛びたい！と思って選びました。
空からハワイの景色を眺める時間は、まさに非日常。写真や動画では伝わらない開放感と浮遊感でした。
服は濡れてもいい格好がおすすめです。

I watched a TV program and thought, "I want to try that!" so I gave it a go. We were a group of older members: my husband, 66 years old, myself at 61, and my cousin, 63. It wasn't difficult at all, and we had a great time. We paddled out a bit with the oars to turn around, and when a good wave came, we paddled really fast in sync with the calls. Once we caught the wave, we stopped paddling and glided on the wave at quite a speed. The sun was strong out on the ocean, but once we were riding the wave, the wind hitting our faces felt really nice and refreshing. We got to do it three times, which was amazing! If I come to Hawaii again, I will definitely do it again.

テレビ番組を観てやってみたい!と思って挑戦しました。夫66歳私61歳いとこ63歳の高齢メンバーでしたが、難しい事は無く十分楽しめました。掛け声に合わせてオールで少し沖まで漕いで方向転換し、良い波が来たら掛け声に合わせてめっちゃ早く漕いで波に乗ったら漕ぐのをやめて波の上を結構なスピードで滑ります。海の上は日差しがきついですが波に乗ってしまうと顔に当たる風がとても気持ち良く爽快でした。3回やってもらえて最高でした!ハワイに来たらまたやります。

We had so much fun! The crews are very friendly as well. The pick-up location is very easy to find.

On the day of the event, I arrived at the designated location mentioned on the voucher 20 minutes early, but no one was there. From past experiences, I had heard that they tend to be a bit loose with time, so I decided to enjoy a morning meal at a nearby café! Even after 10 minutes past the meeting time, no one showed up, so I started to worry. When I looked at what seemed to be the reception booth, I saw a notice! It said the NEW location is here! I hurriedly took a taxi and arrived just in time for the departure!

Seeing the green boat docked was a relief! However, when I tried to check in, I was told there was an oil leak and that the boat wouldn't be departing today... What?! I ended up just paying for the taxi and taking a walk along the coast! It was such a shame since it was a beautiful sunny day with no wind or waves, perfect for fishing! I really wished they had contacted us in advance if the meeting place had changed!

当日は集合20分前にバウチャー記載の指定場所へ行くも誰もいない。過去の体験談から時間にルーズ気味という情報があったので、優雅に目の前にあるお店でモーニング！集合時間10分過ぎても誰もこないので、心配になって受付らしき小屋を見ると何やら張り紙が！NEW ロケーションはここ！だと！！急いでタクシーで向かい出船時間ギリギリに到着！
緑の船が停泊しているのをみて一安心！受付を済ませようとしたところ、どうやらオイル漏れがあり今日は出船できないと言われました。。。何だと〜〜！！ただただタクシー代払って海岸を散歩しただけでした！
快晴で風も波もなく釣り日和だっただけに非常に残念です！まずは集合場所が変わったのなら事前に連絡が欲しかった！

The weather was nice, so the view from above was wonderful. I would like to do it again. The captain was friendly and made everyone enjoy the experience. I definitely recommend trying this when you go to Hawaii.

お天気が良かったので上空からの眺めが素晴らしかったです。またやってみたいと思いました。船長さんも気さくでみんなを楽しませてくれました。ぜひハワイに行ったら体験することをおすすめします。
