We were looking for something the kids can do in Waikiki and found this fishing activity online. It is conveiniently
located right at the entrance of the Ala Wai Harbor and three hours out in the ocean was just enough for the kids to try their first
fishing experience-not too short and not too long. The crew member was friendly in assisting us when our rod got stuck and he said that its all about making the squid bait look delicious but
no luck! The person behind us was lucky and caught three fishes but because they were small they got released back into the ocean.
The big green sea turtle and the dolphin pod we saw on our way back to the harbor lifted our spirits at the end of the trip. We will definitely try again!

I've never been to a fishing cruise so this was a great excursion for a first timer like myself. The boat actually departed from right behind the Hilton Waikiki Hotel where we stayed, so we could just walk over to the check-in. The crew was super friendly and helpful. It did take a few tries to get a hang of it, and the fish kept taking our bait. After my 4th or 5th try, I caught my first fish! They did change the fishing spot a few times and one of the passengers got an edible fish so they cooked it right there and served everyone. Highly recommended for the entire family!

I had previously experienced parasailing, so I chose this tour, which is more expensive than others.
The meeting place was in front of Quiksilver in the city center. It's easy to find since there aren't many people, but the road isn't very wide and there's no shade, so it was hot while waiting. The pickup vehicle was described as a "colorful trolley bus with the logos of 'Honolulu Screamer' and 'X-Treme Parasail'," but it was just a regular van. Since there were no logos and the staff didn't call out names when they arrived, it's better to ask if a vehicle that looks like it has come.
After checking in at the port, we were assigned to a boat and set off immediately. The boat I was on had 10 people in 5 pairs. The boat goes quite fast, so it rocks a bit. We didn't ride for a long time, but if you're worried about motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication beforehand.
The staff efficiently explained everything and prepared the equipment, and we took turns flying. The actual time in the air was about 5 to 6 minutes, which is quite short. I chose 110 meters, but it didn't feel very high, so I thought I could have gone for 150 meters instead. I'm not great with heights, but I didn't feel scared at all, so I think anyone can enjoy it. Hawaii always has a breeze, but it was very stable in the air, so I could relax and enjoy it.
At the end, it's standard to dip your feet and lower body in the water when landing, but we weren't able to do that since we wore clothes over our swimsuits. I was a bit disappointed because I thought I was prepared to get wet. Those who were only in swimsuits were able to get wet, so if you want to do that, it's better to take off your clothes.
The weather was great, and I enjoyed the beautiful views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the stunning ocean below from the air. Overall, the experience was short, so even those with limited time can easily enjoy Hawaii's beautiful scenery, and I highly recommend it!
パラセイリングは以前体験したことがあったので、他のツアーより高いこちらを選びました。
集合場所は街中のクイックシルバー前でした。人がたくさんいるわけではないので分かりやすいですが、道がそんなに広くない上に日陰がない場所なので、待っている間暑かったです。
迎えの車は、案内では「「Honolulu Screamer」「X-Treme Parasail」のロゴが入った、カラフルなトロリーバス」となっていましたが、普通のバンでした。ロゴが入っているわけでもなく、来てもスタッフの方が名前を呼んでくれるわけでもないので、それっぽい車がきたら自分から聞きに行った方がよいです。
港についてから受付後、ボートを割り振られてすぐに出港しました。私が乗ったボートは2人ずつ5組の10人でした。
ボートはかなりスピードを出すので結構揺れます。そんなに長い時間は乗りませんが、心配な方は酔い止めを飲んどいたほうがいいかも。
スタッフの方がてきぱきと説明、装備の準備をしてくれて順番に飛んでいきました。
実際に空中にいる時間は5,6分くらい。結構短いです。私は110mにしましたが、全然高いという感じはせずちょっと物足りなかったので150mにしてもよかったかなと思いました。
私は高いところが苦手なほうですが、怖いということは全くなかったのでどんな方でも楽しめると思います。ハワイは常に風が吹いていますが、空中でも特に揺れることもなくとても安定していたので安心して楽しむことができました。
最後降りるときに、足や下半身を水につけるのが定番ですが、私たちは水着の上に服を着ていたせいかやってもらえませんでした。濡れてもいい服で行ったつもりだったのでちょっと残念でした。水着のみになっていた方は水につけられていたので、やってもらいたい人は服を脱いだほうがいいです。
天気もよく空中からワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッド、足元に広がるキレイな海を堪能できて、とても気持ち良かったです。
ツアー全体を通しても短い時間で体験できるので、滞在時間が短い方でも気軽にハワイの綺麗な景色を楽しむことができおすすめです!

I went on a 5-night, 7-day honeymoon. I had a packed schedule, and I had to change the itinerary after arriving. I couldn't make copies at the hotel, so I got it done at the JCB Center, which worked out fine.
The person who picked us up was very entertaining. If you want to take photos, I recommend asking before getting on the boat. I asked others as well, but it's definitely worth it to buy them. I didn't experience any seasickness.
Above all, the view was amazing. It became a wonderful memory. I would love to do it again if I have the chance.
ハネムーンで5泊7日で行ってきました。予定いっぱい埋め込んでて着いてから日程変更してもらいました。紙はホテルでコピーできなかったのでJCBセンターでやってもらい大丈夫でした。

I was able to make a last-minute reservation the night before. Although I was a little late, the driver who came to pick me up at the hotel was kind, cheerful, and a really great person. It was a beautiful day, perfect for parasailing. We took a boat just a little offshore from right next to Waikiki Beach and quickly got started with the parasailing. We were up in the air for about 10 minutes; I thought it might be scary, but there wasn't much swaying, and I enjoyed the view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach! I was told that the photo service was $30, which felt a bit expensive, so I think it would be better to bring a waterproof case for my phone to take pictures while up in the air. Also, there was a lot of cash for tips on the boat, so the three of us ended up paying $20. It was a bit pricey, but I think it was worth it!
前日の夜にギリギリ予約できました。時間に少し遅れてしまったのですが、ホテルに迎えに来てくれた運転手さんは優しく陽気でとっても良い人^^
天気の良い日でパラセイリング日和でした。ワイキキビーチのすぐ隣から船で少し沖の方まで出て早速パラセイリング。上空にいるのは10分くらいで、怖いかと思ったけど揺れもそこまでなくダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキビーチの景色を楽しめました!写真サービスが30ドルと言われたのでちょっと高いなーと感じました携帯の防水ケースに入れれば上空で写真も撮れたのでその方が良いと思います。またチップとして船に20ドルがたくさん挟まっていたので私達は3人で20ドル払いました。ちょっとお高いですがしてよかったと思います(^o^)

I signed up for the highest option at 150 meters. Since it was a Saturday, we decided to meet at the location and disband there as well, stopping by the nearby Ward Warehouse Farmers Market (Kaka'ako Farmers Market) before heading out. The meeting place is easy to find, so I recommend meeting on-site.
There were 10 other people on the boat besides us, and we jumped in pairs of two or three. We were the only Japanese, which felt quite foreign in Hawaii. There were Japanese instructions available, and the crew spoke some basic Japanese words, but they might not understand much beyond standard phrases.
It was my first time parasailing, so I was half excited and half nervous, but once we were up in the air, it wasn't as terrifying as I expected since there was nothing to compare the height to. We just went up smoothly and came down smoothly, without any roller coaster-like experiences; it was simply sitting there. I thought, "Is this it?" when they just put on the harness, but it was surprisingly stable, even less shaky than the boat. We were up in the air for about 10 minutes, but since it was just sitting and looking around, it might get a bit boring if it were any longer. I was let down just as I had enjoyed it enough, which was perfect for me. It was a wonderful feeling to look out over Waikiki from above. I insisted on not getting wet when coming down, but... I did get wet. I felt like we were a bit more reserved than the other groups, but "not getting wet" seemed to mean just a little bit. It seems better to wear a swimsuit, but in any case, if you sit after someone who got wet, you'll get wet too, so I recommend bringing a change of clothes instead of just a swimsuit.
Along the way, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and the last group got to fly just above the water's surface where the dolphins were. That was really lucky!
Lastly, a few points to note: the boat goes quite fast out to sea, and it can be a bit bumpy while others are jumping. I was fine, but those who are prone to motion sickness might get seasick. Photos are available for $30 on a CD, which you receive when you disembark. You can pay by card, but it costs $32 that way, so it's better to bring cash.
一番高い150メートルで申込みました。
当日は土曜日だったので、現地集合現地解散にして、目の前のワードウェアハウスのファーマーズマーケット(カカアコファーマーズマーケット)に立ち寄ってから行きました。集合場所はわかりやすい場所にあるので、現地集合もおすすめです。
船には私たちのほかに10人いて、2人または3人ずつとびました。日本人は私たちだけで、ハワイでは珍しいくらいの外国感。日本語の注意書きはあり、クルーも簡単な日本語の単語は話してくれますが、定型的なこと以外は日本語は通じないのかもしれません。
パラセイリングははじめてだったのでドキドキとワクワクが半々でしたが、実際に飛んでみると、まわりに比較するものがあるわけではないので、ものすごく高くて怖い!!ということはありませんでした。すーっと上がってすーっと降りてくるだけで、ジェットコースターみたいなこともなく、ただ座っているだけです。ハーネスをつけるだけなので「え、これだけ??」と思いましたが…思った以上に安定感があって、船より揺れないくらいです。上空にいたのは10分あったかなかったか?くらいですが、本当にただ座ってながめるだけなので、あんまり長くても暇かもしれません。ちょうど堪能したくらいでおろしてもらえて、私にはちょうどよかったです。上空からワイキキ方面をながめる機会はなかなかないのですごくきもちよかったです。降りるとき水につけないでと主張していましたが…つけられました…他の組よりは控えめだったような気はしますが…つけない=ちょっとしかつけない、みたいです。水着着用のほうがよいようですが、なんにしろ水につかったひとの後に座ったら濡れるので、水着よりも着替え持参をおすすめします。
途中でイルカの群れと遭遇して、最後の組はイルカがいる水面ギリギリを飛ばしてもらっていました。すごいラッキーですね!
最後に、いくつか注意点としては;
船は沖まで結構スピードを出していきますし、他の組が飛んでいる間はわりと揺れます。私は平気でしたが酔いやすい人は酔うかもしれません。
写真は30ドルでCDに焼いて下船時にもらえます。カードでも払えますがカードだと32ドルです。現金をもっていくほうがよいです。

I participated in a 150m tour with my husband. The person who picked us up in the trolley had a tough appearance, and they played loud music in the vehicle while driving quite fast, which made me a bit anxious, but it was fun to feel the foreign atmosphere.
In our group, there were eight participants, including us, and we were the only Japanese. There were two guides, and one of them could speak a few Japanese words, but it didn't feel like a conversation was possible. All the explanations were in English, which I couldn't understand at all, but they showed us written instructions in Japanese, so I didn't have any particular trouble.
The 150m height was higher than I expected, and I felt a bit scared when I looked down for a moment, but the view was really beautiful, and the pleasant feeling outweighed the fear. I had heard it would last about five minutes, so I thought it would go by quickly, but it felt quite long to me. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to see whales from above, which was amazing. I bought photos for $30, but since they were on a CD-R, I could only check what data was included after returning to Japan. They had taken more photos than I expected, and there were some interesting ones, so I was glad I bought them. It seemed like you could also purchase the photos with a credit card.
I knew tips were included, but the guide asked for a tip, and I ended up paying it. However, I don't regret it because it was fun! I highly recommend it!
夫と150mのツアーに参加しました。トロリーで迎えに来てくれた方の風貌がいかつくて、車内で大音量で音楽をかけて、結構スピードを出すので、ちょっと不安になりましたが、外国の雰囲気を感じられて楽しかったです笑
私たちの回では、私たちを含め8人が参加していたのですが、日本人は私たちだけでした。ガイドさんは2人いて、1人は少しだけ日本語の単語が話せる感じでしたが、会話ができる感じではありませんでした。
説明も全て英語で、全く理解できなかったのですが、日本語で書かれた注意事項を見せてくれたので、特に困りませんでした。150mは思ったより高くて、途中で下を見て一瞬怖くなりましたが、本当に景色が良くて、怖さよりも気持ちよさが上回りました。5分程度と聞いていたので、あっという間なのかなと思ったのですが、私的には結構長く感じました。また、運の良いことに、上からくじらを見ることもでき、最高でした。写真を30ドルで買ったのですが、CD-Rなので、どういったデータが入っているか確認できたのは日本に帰ってからだったのですが、思ったよりたくさん撮ってくれていて、面白い写真もあり、買って良かったです。写真はクレジットカードでも買えるみたいでした。
チップ込みだと分かっていたのですが、ガイドさんにチップをお願いしますと言われて、つい支払ってしまいました。でも楽しかったので後悔してません!おすすめです‼

I also bought an SD card. It had about 100 pictures, including the scenery. It was great.
For the 150M, it seemed we were at the same height as the others at first, and we were saying things like, "This is easy!" But then the altitude increased, and it got quite scary. But it felt good! The weather was nice, so we could see very beautiful scenery.
I was very satisfied ^o^

I had a wonderful experience! (Experience on January 26, 2016, Japan time)
First, I was picked up by a large, open bus right in front of the hotel. Since there weren't many people on board, it felt like a private trolley, which was fun. Actually, I mistakenly booked for the next day, but when I called on that day, they kindly changed it for me, which was great.
When we arrived at the location, we showed our tickets at the counter and were taken to the boat by two young foreign men (from Hawaii?). I participated with a friend, and in addition to us, there were five Koreans, two Americans, and a family of three from Europe on board.
It seemed that up to three people could ride the parasail. The two staff members operating it were quite playful and tried to drop us into the sea at the start and end of the parasailing, which was also fun. However, if someone didn't want to get wet, they would make sure not to drop them if informed. While parasailing, we could enjoy a panoramic view of the Hawaiian scenery while feeling the sea breeze, which was very pleasant. I didn't feel scared at all; it was very comfortable and felt like a moment. We could see Diamond Head beautifully as well.
I participated during the day, but I felt that the sunset would also be beautiful in the evening.
I would definitely love to participate again!
とても素敵な体験ができました!(日本時間で、2016年1月26日体験)
まず、ホテルの前まで大きい開放的なバスでお迎えに来ていただきました。あまり乗っている人たちがいなかったため、貸切トロリーのようで、楽しかったです。
実は、日程を勘違いしおり、次の日に予約をしてしまったのですが、その日に電話をしたら、快くその日に代えて頂き、とても良かったです。
そして、現地に着くと、チケットをカウンターに見せ、2人の若い男の外国人(ハワイ出身?)に連れられ、船に乗りました。
私は友人と2人で参加だったのですが、その他に、韓国人が5人とアメリカ人が2人、あとヨーロッパから来た家族が3人乗っていました。
パラセーリングは、最高3人まで乗れるようでした。
操縦しているスタッフ2人が結構いたずら好きで、パラセールの始まりと終わりでわざと海に落とそうとするのですが、それもまた楽しかったです。しかし、濡れたくない人は、そう告げれば落とさないようにしてくれるようです。
パラセール中は、ハワイの街並みを、海風を感じながら一望でき、とても気持ちよかったです。あまり怖さは感じず、とても心地よく、一瞬のように感じました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドもきれいに見れました。
日中に参加したのですが、夕方もきれいに夕焼けが見られそうだなと感じました。

I participated with my girlfriend. Since it was winter and the rainy season, I was a bit concerned about the weather being cloudy on the day, but we were able to see such wonderful scenery that it didn't matter. We participated at 150m, and the sea was beautiful, and the sky was blue, creating a stunning view.
The two guys from Xtreme Parasail spoke in funny Japanese, making the trip to the point very enjoyable. For those who are prone to motion sickness or have a weak vestibular system, it's essential to have motion sickness medication and stay hydrated, as the boat rocks quite a bit.
When the parasailing was over, they provided a service of dragging the rope back to the boat along the water's surface (if you don't want that, just say "dry landing please!" and they'll understand), which was a lot of fun. Many people in Hawaii enjoy jet skiing and surfing, but parasailing is also a rare experience, so I highly recommend it.
Also, I'm not very good with rides like roller coasters and I'm not fond of heights, but the beauty of the scenery made it not scary at all. So, I think anyone who isn't extremely afraid of heights could probably participate at 150m. I believe the view is likely better than at 110m or 130m.
It would be even better if you could capture the scenery with a camera. If you're using an iPhone, I recommend a waterproof case like Lifeproof, and for cameras, a GoPro (the people from Xtreme Parasail said "GoPro is awesome") is recommended. Make sure to securely attach a strap to your wrist or hang it around your neck to avoid dropping it.
彼女と2人で参加しにいきました。冬であり雨季ということもあり、当日の天気はやや曇りが多くどうかな、と思っていましたがそんなことはそっちのけの素晴らしい景色を観ることができました。150mでの参加でしたが、海は綺麗で空も青くとても美しい景色でした。
Xtreme Parasailのお兄さん2人は面白い日本語で喋ってくれて、ポイントに行くまでも非常に楽しかったです。乗り物酔いをしやすい人や三半規管が弱い人は酔い止めや水分が必須です。船がとても揺れます。
パラセーリングが終わった際に船までロープを戻してくれる時水面を引きずってくれるサービスもしてくれて(したくない人はdry landing please!といえば伝わる)とても面白いです。ハワイではジェットスキーやサーフィンなどをする人が多いですが、パラセーリングも滅多にできることがないので是非おすすめです。
また、自分はあまりジェットコースターなどの乗り物が得意ではなく高い所も苦手ですが、あまりの景色の良さに全然怖くなかったです。なので極度の高所恐怖症の方以外であれば恐らく150mでも参加できると思います。110mや130mよりもおそらく景色がよく見えると思います。
またカメラに景色を収めることができればより良いと思います。iPhoneであればLifeproofなどの防水ケース、カメラであればGoPro(XtremeParasailの人たちはGoPro is awesomeと言っていました)がオススメだと思います。落とさないようにしっかり手首にヒモをつけたり首からぶらさげてくださいね。

I experienced this with my mother.
The 9 AM session had beautiful weather! It felt really nice.
There were a total of six groups, including both Japanese and foreign participants.
The waiting time wasn't too bothersome, as the weather was so nice, and just being on the ride felt good.
I thought the timing for each group was a bit vague. The first group felt the longest, but the rest seemed about the same.
I didn't check names or heights at all. Haha, I think that's just the foreign quality, so I'm not dissatisfied.
The parasailing itself was not scary at all, and time passed gracefully. I even got a bit bored. Haha.
Since I was there, I ordered the $30 photos, but they were so poorly done that it was laughable!
Of course, I looked at the CD-ROM I bought after returning home, and it was quite disappointing.
They took the photos with a digital single-lens reflex camera, but the focus was completely off, and the close-up shots had poor resolution, resulting in blurry pictures. Haha.
Some of the photos were just random and not worth anything. Haha. I consider this part of the foreign quality and a good memory, but I hope everyone manages their expectations (though I think it's nice as a keepsake since you can't take those photos yourself!).
I would recommend purchasing them!
母と体験してきました。
朝9時の回で晴天!とても気持ち良かったです。
参加者は日本人と外国の方計6組。
順番待ちもそれほど嫌にならないほど、とても天気が良く乗ってるだけでも気持ち良かったです。
各組の時間が曖昧だとは思いました。
一番手の方が一番長く感じましたが、後は一緒だったかな。
名前も高さも一切確認してませんでしたし。笑 そこは外国クオリティーだと思ってるので不満ではありません。
肝心のパラセーリングは全く怖さもなく、優雅な感じで時間が過ぎてゆきました。ちょっと飽きたくらい。笑
で、せっかくなので30ドルの写真を頼んだのですが、これが下手すぎてわらけました!
もちろん自宅に帰ってから買ったCDロムも見たのですが、なんとも、まぁ残念な仕上がり。
一眼デジカメで撮っていただいたのですが、ピントが全然あってないし、近くで撮っていただいたのも解像度が悪いのか、ボケーーーとしてる写真でした。笑
何枚かどうでも良い写真も混ざってたり笑。これも外国クオリティーと思って良い思い出ですが、みなさまもあまり期待せず、(しかし、自分では撮れないので記念ではいいと思いますよ!)
購入していただければと思いました!

On our first trip to Hawaii together, we decided to try parasailing, which he had previously experienced and found very enjoyable! The other guests on the boat included another Japanese couple and two groups of foreigners. The guide was, as everyone has mentioned, super handsome! (laughs) He seemed to be quite familiar with putting on life jackets and efficiently helped us with his limited Japanese. However, the emergency instructions were almost entirely in English, so while the foreigners nodded along, we Japanese guests had to rely on gestures for information, which made us a bit anxious about participating.
That said, they did explain the minimum safety precautions in Japanese, such as where to hold on and what not to do while flying, so we were ultimately able to enjoy it safely!
When we finally took off, it was so high!! We chose the 150m option, and it was far beyond what we had imagined. Even for someone like me who loves thrill rides, it was thrilling enough to be a little scary! He mentioned that the height was completely different from the parasailing he had done before, and by the end, he was repeatedly saying, "Let me down!!" with a pale face... (laughs)
Since we were in swimsuits, we also got splashed when we fell into the water (the water came up to about our chests), and we felt like we spent much longer in the air than the other guests, which made us very satisfied!
We purchased the commemorative photos for $30, and upon looking at them, we found many wonderful shots, including one with a plane flying above us, and there was even a video included, so we were glad we bought them.
I’m giving it four stars because he was more scared than expected and all the instructions were in English, but I think the breathtaking views from above and that thrill are definitely something everyone should experience at least once!
彼との初めてのハワイ旅行で、以前彼が体験してとても楽しかったというパラセイリングに挑戦しました!船に同乗したお客さんは、私達ともう一組が日本人であと二組は外国人の方でした。ガイドのお兄さんは、皆さんが書かれているように超イケメン!(笑)ライフジャケット等の装着にも慣れているようで、片言の日本語でテキパキと装着してくれました(^^♪ただ、緊急時?の注意事項はほぼほぼ(というかすべて)英語だったので、外国人の方はうんうんと頷いて聞いていましたが私達日本人はジェスチャーしか情報が無く、少し不安なままの参加となりました。
とはいえ掴むところや、してはいけないことなど、飛ぶ際の最低限の注意は日本語でも説明してくれるので結果的には安全に楽しむことができました♪
いざ飛んでみたら、、高いのなんの!!私達は150mを選んだのですが、想像をはるかに超える高さで、絶叫系が大好きな私でも少し怖いくらいのスリルが味わえて最高でした!彼は、以前体験したパラセイルとは高さが段違いだったようで、後半は「もう降ろして!!」と真っ青な顔で連呼していました・・(笑)
水着を着ていたので海ポチャもしてくれたり(割と胸あたりまで水がかかります)、上空での時間も他の方たちよりもだいぶ長く感じて大満足でした!
記念の写真も$30で購入しましたが、見てみると丁度上空を飛んでいた飛行機と一緒に撮ってくれるなど素敵な写真が多かったり、ムービーまで添付されていたので買ってよかったです。
彼が想像以上に怖がっちゃったのと、注意事項がすべて英語だった点で☆4つとさせていただきますが、なかなか見る事のできない上空からの生の絶景とあのスリルは、ぜひ一度経験してみるべきだと思います!

The wind was strong and it shook quite a bit. I was terrified at the thought of this rope breaking. However, the view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head in the distance from above was amazing.
風が強くて結構揺れた。
このロープが切れたらと思ったら恐怖でした。
でも、上空から見えるワイキキビーチ遠くに見えるダイヤモンドヘッドの景色は最高でした。

I went with high expectations, but unfortunately, it rained.
Our guide was Yano.
We participated with five Japanese people who didn't understand English, but Yano's talk kept us smiling the whole time.
After some back-and-forth communication, we arrived at the port.
We checked in and boarded the boat. We got pretty wet at departure due to the rain, but once we headed out to sea, it was clear skies!
The speed was quite thrilling!
Now, onto the main event, the parasailing—it was simply amazing! I was a bit anxious at first, but once I was up in the air, it was silent, the wind was pleasant, and the view was breathtaking. I felt like I understood a bit of what it’s like to be a bird.
There was a little surprise at the end, and I was impressed by that technique as well.
It was so much fun that it ended in no time!
The boat was more frightening than being up in the sky because it was rocking!
The staff were kind, and I had a wonderful time!
I will definitely come back again!
かなり期待して行きました。残念ながら雨。
送迎の方はYANOさん
英語がわからない日本人5人で参加しましたが、YANOさんのトークで終始笑顔。
かたことですが色々とやりとりしていたら港に到着。
受付してボートへ。出発時は雨で結構濡れましたが、沖へ出ると快晴!
結構スピード出すのでスリル満点です!
で、本題のパラセイルですが、とにかく素晴らしい‼︎最初は不安でしたが、空に上がれば無音で風も心地良く絶景。鳥の気持ちが少しわかった気がします。
最後に少しサプライズがありましたが、そのテクニックにも感激。
楽しすぎたからかあっという間に終わってしまいました。
ボートが揺れるので空の上より怖いです!
スタッフの方々も優しく素晴らしい時間を過ごせました!
リピ間違いなしです‼︎‼︎

I experienced parasailing for the first time, and I was very moved to see the scenery of Honolulu from the ocean side while flying!! I want to do it again when I go back.
パラセーリング初めて体験しましたが、ホノルルの景色を海側から飛びながら見れてとても感動しました!!また行ったらやりたいです。

It was absolutely amazing.
The breeze from the boat felt great!
It was my first time parasailing, but I really enjoyed it.
It should definitely be an extreme experience.
とにかく最高でした。
船の風が気持ちよかった!
初めてのパラセーリングだったけど楽しめました。
