All Reviews for Watersports

It ended up being surprisingly uneventful and not as scary as I had thought. The staff was friendly and spoke Japanese. However, I had a hard time finding the pickup vehicle. The name I was given was not written on the car, and I finally met the driver after contacting the tour company (which only spoke English). Tips are not included in the tour price, so you need to bring cash for that.

思っていたほど恐怖感なく意外とあっけなく終わってしまいました。スタッフは親切で日本語も通じました。ただ、ピックアップの車が見つけにくく苦労しました。聞いていた名前は車に書かれておらずツアー会社(英語のみ)に連絡をしてやっとお迎えのドライバーに会えました。チップはツアー代金に含まれていないのでそのぶん現金を持参する必要があります。

Since it was my first time, I went for 90 meters, which was high enough. But I might have been okay with going higher. In the end, I ended up with my butt in the sea, so it's better to participate in a swimsuit.

初めてだったんで90mにしましたが、充分高い。でももっと高くてもよかったかも。最後はお尻を海につけられてしまったので、水着で参加がいいですね。

The instructor is kind of young but they are really enthusiastic.Indeed it is very helpful and my families do really have a goodddd time. I especially appreciate that cheerful attitude which make you feel comfortable for the whole surfing time.

It was my first time doing SUP, but the instructor was kind and explained everything clearly, so I was able to move as I wanted in about 30 minutes. The wind and waves made SUP challenging, but I was able to enjoy it nonetheless. Next time, I want to challenge myself to go a bit faster and venture further out.

初めてのSUPでしたが、インストラクターが親切に分かりやすく教えてくれたので、30分くらいで思うように進むことが出来るようになりました。風や波はSUPを難しくするのですが、それはそれで楽しむことができました。次回はもう少しスピードを出して、沖の方まで行くことにチャレンジしたいと思います。

Captain Dan and his first mate were professional, efficient and gracious. My 3 kids (17,15,12) and I had a great parasail experience with X-treme. We got every bit of airtime we paid for, and then some. I was thoroughly impressed with the Captain's dexterous maneuvering as he dipped us in and out of the ocean. The first mate got everyone clipped in and clipped out so smoothly that there was almost zero down time in between us parasailers.

The 3 guys did an excellent job going over safety an simple instructions in the classroom, on the beach the were patient and helpful. I was satisfied with the results!

We participated as a couple.
They provided transportation, and there are staff members who speak Japanese, so those who are worried about English can feel at ease!
The lessons are given with simple Japanese instructions, so there are no problems at all.
There are multiple opportunities to catch waves, so I believe anyone can learn to stand up!
Finally, we also received a group photo at the end.
We made wonderful memories.

カップルでの参加でした。
送迎も頂き、日本語を話せるスタッフもいるので英語で心配な方でも安心です！
レッスンも簡単な日本語で指示してもらえるので全く問題ありません。
何度も波に乗るチャンスがあるので誰でも立てるようになると思います！
最後にグループで1枚写真の入ったデータももらえますよ。
素敵ないい思い出ができました。

I tried it at 150m, but we were the only Japanese participants, and the guide mostly spoke English, which made me a bit anxious. However, once I took off, the situation changed completely! Not only could I enjoy the breathtaking views of Hawaii from the sky, but the beautiful ocean was truly "Blue Hawaii"!

150ｍでトライしたのですが、参加者で日本人が自分たちだけで、ガイドさんもほとんど英語しか話さないので少し不安な気持ちもありました。
しかし、いざ舞い上がると状況は一変！空からハワイの絶景を一望できるだけでなく、美しい海がまさしく「ブルーハワイ」でした！

When we booked our vacation, I knew this activity was the MUST DO of our time in Honolulu! It was awesome! Too bad I got motion sickness on the boat while we waited for other patrons to sail. If you're sensitive like me, take dramamine an hour before you sail. The staff was as accommodating as can be expected in the middle of the ocean! The photos captured are amazing and well worth the extra $30.

The experience was great. The only negative I have is I was suppose to get my military discount refunded after I showed my ID at the time of check in. I still haven't received anything. I definitely would like my refund. Also the parking where Veltra suggested I parked at Ilikai hotel don't validate for free parking. That was $7.00 an hour for two hours. When I could have parked right next to the event and paid for the tickets at the counter I think next time I'll just get my tickets through the counter.

I had surfed a few times before, but since it had been a while, I was a bit worried. However, at Waikiki Beach, they helped me with positioning and everything, so all I had to do was stand up, and I was able to enjoy it thoroughly!

サーフィンは、何度かやったことがありましたが久々だったので心配だったのですが、ワイキキビーチで、ポジショニングも向きも全部していただき、あとは立つだけで大丈夫だったので十分楽しめましたー

It was more powerful than I expected, and the staff were great entertainers. My 10-year-old daughter and I had a wonderful time. I definitely want to do it again!

思った以上の迫力とスタッフのエンターテイナーぶりで、10才の娘も含めて大変楽しめましたぜひまたやりたいです❗

This was so much fun! We loved every moment, and guides Jay and Jamie were wonderful. They were safe, professional, very fun, and good at what they do. The parasailing had amazing views and wasn't scary, even though we went up really high. It was so peaceful and beautiful up there. Thanks Jay and Jamie for an amazing experience we'll never forget!

I got this as a gift for my husband for Fathers Day !! So my 2 teens would go up with him . They had never been on it and they loved it !! They loved the staff and how fun they were!! I came on as a spectator and I loved the boat ride and being able to be there with my little family seeing them so EXCITED!! Loved the pictures we bought ! They were amazing!!! Next trip .. I'm booking another one !!!

After visiting Hawaii ten times, I experienced parasailing for the first time in my 50s! I challenged myself to a height of 150 meters! Before heading out on the boat, music was playing, and I was in a great mood. Life jackets were distributed, and although the boat swayed a bit, we confirmed safety while watching others parasailing around us!

There were about five groups on the boat, but they took photos for us while we waited, making the wait enjoyable! When it was our turn, I felt a bit anxious due to the height, but I was moved by the beautiful sky and scenery! The aerial walk was incredibly fun, and even though I was intentionally dropped into the sea, the water felt great! The landing back on the boat was smooth and not scary at all. The service was attentive until the end, and I highly recommend it!

ハワイ10回にして、50代にしてはじめてパラセーリングを体験しました！
高さ150メートルに挑戦しました！
ボートで沖に出る前から音楽が流れノリノリ気分で
ライフジャケットが配られ
ボートが少し揺れたりしたけど風や周りでパラセーリングやっている様子を確認したり、安全確認もばっちりでした！
いざ、ボートには5組位乗っていましたが、待ち時間にも写真を撮ってくれたりして
楽しく順番待ちが出来ましたよ！
いざ、自分達の番になり高さのあるので少し不安でしたが、綺麗な空と景色に感動でした！
そして、空中散歩も最高に楽しかったし、海にわざと落とされたけど水の気持ち良かった事！
ボートへの着地も怖くなくスムーズでしたよ
最後まで接客も丁寧でお勧めします

The boat ride to the point was quite intense, so I was really nervous... (If you're sensitive, motion sickness medication is a must.) But once it was time to jump, there was no time to be scared; the start happened in an instant.
My father, a high school student, and a third grader jumped together, while my mother watched to take photos, but the boat's movements were so intense that she couldn't capture anything... However, the staff were kind and took many photos for us instead.
The two staff members didn't speak any Japanese, but they were full of jokes and it was fun. The American family we rode with was also cheerful, making for a great time.
All three of us were very satisfied with the height (120m) and the duration, and we are saying we definitely want to participate again next time!

ポイントに着くまでのボートの走りがかなり激しかったので、かなりビクビクしていましたが…(弱い方は酔い止め必須です)いざ飛ぶことになったら、怖がっている暇もないほど、あっという間のスタートでした。
父、高校生、小3の三人一緒に飛び、母は撮影のために見学でしたが、ボートの動きが激しく撮影できず…。が、スタッフの方が親切で代わりにたくさん撮ってくださいました。
スタッフ二人は日本語は全く通じませんが、ジョークも多く楽しかったです。同乗のアメリカ人ファミリーも明るい方で良いひと時でした。
三人とも高さ(120m)、時間とも大満足で、次回も絶対参加したい！と言っています。

I had a lesson with Teacher Aiza. I heard that she used to be an English teacher in Japan, so I felt very relieved to receive instruction in Japanese and was able to enter the sea comfortably. Previously, when I took a private surfing lesson at another school in Waikiki, the instructor couldn't speak Japanese, and since I didn't understand English, we couldn't communicate well. However, this time, I was very satisfied because she taught me in detail in Japanese.

Also, since the waters in Hawaii are quite deep, the lessons take place far offshore. When I caught a wave, it was a struggle to paddle back, and I had a hard time during my last lesson at a different location. Before we started, I mentioned this, and this time, the instructor helped me by placing her foot on the board and taking me out each time, making it very easy to get out to the waves.

She taught me the timing when good waves came and pushed the board for me, so I was able to stand up every time and ride the waves for a long time. It was truly fun.

The meeting point is a bit hard to find, so I will upload a photo.

アイザ先生にレッスンしていただきました。
日本で英語の先生をされていたそうで、日本語でご指導いただけてとても安心して海に入ることができました。
以前、ワイキキの他のスクールでサーフィンのプライベートレッスンしたときには日本語の話せない先生で私が英語が分からないこともあり、意思疎通ができずだったのですが今回は日本語で細かく教えていただけ、大満足でした。
また、ハワイは遠くまで足がつくのでかなり沖の方でレッスンするため、波に乗ってきてしまうとパドリングして沖まで戻るのが必死で前回違う場所でレッスンしたときにとても大変だったという話を、始まる前にしたところ、今回は先生がボードに足をかけて一緒に沖まで毎回連れて行ってくださり、とてもとても簡単に沖まででることができました。
いい波が来るとタイミングを教えてくださり、ボー
ドを押してくださるので毎回立つことができ、長く波になることができ本当に楽しかったです。

集合場所が少し分かりづらいので写真をアップさせていただきます。

We participated in this tour because my husband wanted to try parasailing. As a result, it was really fun! The moment we took off and were lifted by the wind felt like a roller coaster, and while it was scary, it was also exhilarating. It felt like we were birds, and seeing the beautiful scenery of the Hawaiian sea and Diamond Head from above was truly the best feeling, blowing away all my daily worries and stress! I also purchased the photos taken at the end. They were a bit pricey at $30, but I think it's worth it for the memories. I would love to participate again if I have the chance. Thank you!

今回主人のパラセイリングがしたいという希望でこちらのツアーに参加しました。
結果、本当に楽しかったです！
飛ぶ瞬間や風に煽られる瞬間はジェットコースターのようで、怖いながらも爽快感がありました。
鳥になった気分で、空の上からハワイの海やダイヤモンドヘッドなどの美しい景色を臨むのは本当に最高の気分で、日頃の悩みやストレスを一気に吹っ飛ばしてくれました！
最後に撮ってもらった写真も購入しました。
30ドルとちょっと高めですが、思い出や記念には良いと思います。
また機会があれば参加したいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

I challenged myself to 120 meters. It had a sufficient height and felt quite long! The wind was refreshing, and it was a lot of fun. The boat sways quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is a must!

120Mに挑戦しました。十分な高さがあり時間も結構長く感じました！風が気持ちよくてとても楽しかったです。船が結構揺れるので酔い止めは必須です！

My wife said she wanted to go parasailing, so we joined this tour. Regarding this tour, none of the driver, reception, or boat staff spoke Japanese. However, the staff were accustomed to Japanese customers, and we were able to enjoy the parasailing experience without any major issues.

On the boat, lively music played, and participants took turns flying into the sky. Even while waiting for our turn, it was fun just watching others soar. I still remember the exhilarating moment when I actually took off into the air. While flying steadily, I could see the distant condominiums of Oahu, and it really hit me that we were in Hawaii. My wife and I both felt, "I'm so glad we came," and we were truly satisfied. After touching the water a few times and going up and down, we returned to the boat. Be sure to wear a swimsuit when participating.

*Points of concern:*
- I had reserved for 120 meters in advance, but it seemed like the staff were raising us based on their own judgment? The participants didn’t feel much difference in height, so I think either 90 meters or 120 meters would be sufficient.
- The staff will take commemorative photos on a 1G SD card. I think it was around $20 or $30 to purchase. My wife really wanted it, so we bought it, but I thought they could have lowered the price a bit since there was some dirt on the lens.
- The boat moves at quite a fast speed. If you're prone to seasickness, be sure to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

奥さんが「パラセイリングしたい」と言っていたため、このツアーに参加。
このツアーに関しては、運転手、受付、船上スタッフ全員日本語が通じませんでした。ただ、スタッフも日本人に慣れており、特に問題なくパラセイリング体験出来ました。
　
船上ではノリの良い音楽が掛かり、次々と参加者が空に飛んでいきます。順番が回ってくるまでも、参加者が飛んでる様子を観るだけで楽しかったです。実際に飛んでみても、勢い良く空を飛ぶ瞬間は今でも覚えてます。また安定して空を飛行している時は、遠くオアフ島のマンション群を観ながら、ハワイに来たんだと実感出来て、奥さんと二人で「来て良かったね」と本当に満足できました。海に何度か着水させて、上下させた後、船に戻ります。必ず水着着用で参加しましょう。
　
※気になった点
・事前に120m、で予約していましたが、船上のスタッフは感覚で空に上げている様子？で、参加したメンバーで高さの違いは感じられませんでした笑　90mか120mの申込で十分だと思います。
・スタッフが1GのSDカードに記念写真を撮ってくれます。確か20ドルか30ドルくらいで買い取りが出来た気がします。奥さんがどうしても欲しいとのことで買い取りましたが、もうちょっと値下げしてくれても良いかな、っと思いました笑　レンズにゴミが付いてたので。
・結構早い速度で船が移動します。船酔いが気になる人は、必ず酔い止め薬を服用しておきましょう。

I've been wanting to go parasailing with my boyfriend for the experience and adrenaline rush!! Found this website thru my cousin who lives in Hawaii and looked thru the activities. Found parasailing at a good price and was excited!
The employees helped ease our nerves and pick up was super awesome and convenient! They also offered picture taking! Relieved I didn't have to ask anyone to use my phone to take our pics
Would definitely try it again!!

I had a fun lesson during the refreshing early morning hours, even though I was a bit anxious since it was my first experience. It was great that they took photos for an additional fee.

早朝のさわやかな時間帯に、初体験でちょっと不安でしたが、楽しくレッスンを受けました。
別料金でしたが、写真の撮影をしてくれていたのでよかったです。

I applied two days ago and received a prompt response that I could participate right away. I am very satisfied with the quick service. The paragliding captain was humorous and fun, and my family was able to enjoy the experience. If there is a next time, I would like to use this service again.

2日前に申込みましたが直ぐに参加可の回答を頂きました。対応が早く大変満足しています。パラグライダーの船長もユーモアがあり楽しい方で家族で楽しむことが出来ました。次回があればまた利用したいです。

Surfing for the first time in 13 years!
I was able to stand up on the board in just one try, and the waves and instruction were great.
It's an English lesson, but they also speak in Japanese, and because it's an English lesson, I was able to make friends from other countries as well. It was the best!

13年ぶりのサーフィン！
1回で立てたのも、波も指導も良かったから^ ^
英語レッスンですが、日本語も交えて話してくれるし、英語レッスンだからこそ、他の国の友達もできたし最高です！

I had no experience with surfing, but I really wanted to try it, so even though my schedule was tight, I participated on the first day of my arrival.
The ocean was incredibly beautiful! Surfing was tough, but it was fun. The instructor was very experienced and kept encouraging us to try as many times as we could until we felt we couldn't anymore (laughs).
The data was delivered quickly too! Thank you very much!

サーフィンは未経験でしたが、ぜひやって見たいと思い、日程がキツかったのですが、到着初日に参加しました。
海がめちゃくちゃ綺麗！サーフィンはしんどかったですが、楽しかったです。先生は教え慣れていて、無理というまで、何回でもやらされます(笑
データもすぐに届きました！ありがとうございました！

I had a very scary impression when I arrived. The guide explained everything in Japanese.

It was difficult to take photos, and when I requested a service, it was tough to find out that an additional $20 was required!

非常に怖い印象を持って望みました。
ガイドの方は日本語で説明して頂き

写真が撮影やりにくくて、サービスでお願いした際に、20ドルが別途必要というところが厳しかったです！

We departed from Kaka'ako, and the pickup from Waikiki was quick. I participated in the Honolulu Screamer during my previous trip, and this time I was taken care of with parasailing. Since it was around 8 AM, the seawater was cold, so I requested not to touch the water, but the boat's driving technique was excellent, and I was able to enjoy the view from 150 meters without touching the water. If you're going to parasail, I recommend going for 150 meters. I think first-timers may feel anxious or scared, but once you experience it, you'll wish you had done it sooner. You'll be back in Waikiki by just after 9 AM, so I think it's easy for those with other schedules to fit this in.

カカアコから出航でワイキキから送迎もすぐなので前の旅行でもホノルルスクリーマーに参加させていただき今回はパラセイリングでお世話になりました。朝8時台ということもあり海水が冷たかったので着水せずとお願いしましたがボートの運転テクニックも抜群で一度も着水せず高さ150ｍからの景色を堪能することが出来ました。どうせパラをするのなら150ｍがお勧めです。というか初めの人は不安や怖さがあると思いますが一度体験すればこんなに良い体験をもっと早くすればと思うはずです。9時過ぎにはワイキキに帰って来れるので他のスケジュールがある人にも気軽に出来ると思います。

I enjoyed a pleasant walk in the sky with a great height. The wind was comfortable, and the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head was fantastic. The staff took photos of us from the boat. They recorded the data on an SD card, taking 50 pictures for $30. I bought them as a keepsake since I couldn't take pictures of myself flying, and I'm very satisfied with the quality of the photos. I participated alone this time, but I would like to go with my son next time.

高さもあり気持ちよく空の散歩を楽しみました。
風も心地よくワイキキの街並みダイヤモンドヘッドともに最高でした。
お兄さんが船上から写真を写してくれます。SDカードにデータを記録、50枚撮って30ドルでした。
自分が飛んでるよころは自分で撮れないし記念だからと買いましたがなかなか良い写真で満足感が高いです。
今回は一人での参加でしたが次回は息子と行きたいですね。

I was worried about whether I could do it properly, but I received thorough instruction and had a lot of fun surfing! Thank you for taking so many photos (≧∇≦). I would love to participate again if there's another opportunity.

ちゃんと出来るか不安でしたが、しっかりレクチャーして頂きとても楽しくサーフィン出来ました！
写真も沢山撮って頂きありがとうございました（≧∇≦）また機会あれば参加したいです。

The time spent flying went by in a flash, but it was very enjoyable! The weather was nice, so the scenery was beautiful. Sunscreen was a must. The photo data was sold for $30, which is a bit pricey, but I purchased it as a keepsake.

飛んでる時間はあっという間でしたが、とても楽しかったです！天気も良かったので景色がとても良かったです。日焼け止めは必須でした。写真データが30ドルで売っていて、少しお高いですが記念に購入しました。
