Waikiki
I was quite anxious because they didn’t arrive even by the meeting time (laughs). The voucher mentioned to call if they didn’t show up after five minutes, so I called, and they explained in English that "a blue car is coming, so please wait another five minutes." I waited a bit longer, and in the end, they were 20 minutes late (laughs). The driver also said something like, "I’m really sorry!!!" and apologized, and he had a likable character, so I convinced myself that maybe it’s rare for them to arrive on time (laughs).
Now, about the experience, the view from 150 meters was amazing! My husband and I got to experience it together as a pair. Before it was our turn, they handed us a Japanese instruction manual, so we could confirm details like photo opportunities and that if we requested "dry landing, please" before landing, we could return to the boat without getting wet. We asked to go up to our waists (laughs).
As for the facilities, there are no changing rooms or lockers. If you really want to change afterward, you might want to use the public restroom nearby. Since there are no lockers, I wouldn’t recommend bringing large bags. Also, since you move out to sea by boat, some water splashes will come in, so if you really don’t want to get your belongings wet, it’s better to put them in a plastic bag or something.
On the way back, the funky driver came over and guided me to the car. When I mentioned that I got wet, he said, "It's okay, no problem!" but I felt a bit awkward getting in wet, so I used the beach towel I brought to sit on the seat. When I told him the hotel I was staying at, he kindly drove me there, which was very helpful.
待ち合わせ時間になってもいっこうに来ないのでハラハラしました(笑)
5分経っても来ない場合は電話して下さいとバウチャーにも書いてあったので、とりあえず電話すると「青い車が来るのであともう5分待って下さい」みたいな事を英語を説明され、そのまましばらく待ち、結果20分の遅刻でした(笑)
ドライバーのお兄さんも「いやあホントごめんごめん!!!」みたいな事を言っていて謝ってくれましたし、なんか憎めないキャラだったので、もしかすると時間通りに来る事自体が稀なのかなと自分を説得(笑)
さて内容についてですが、
150mの眺めは最高でした!
自分たち夫婦でペアで一緒に体験させてもらいました。
順番が回ってくる前に日本語の説明書を渡してくれたので、写真撮影の事、着地する前に「ドライランディング、プリーズ」と希望すれば海に浸かる事なく船まで戻れる事など、しっかり確認する事ができます。
私たちは腰までやってくださいと言いました(笑)
設備ですが、更衣室、ロッカーはありません。
終わったあとどうしても着替えたいのであれば近くにある公衆トイレを使うといいかもしれません。
ロッカーがないので、あまり大きい荷物を持って行く事はオススメしません。あと、船で沖まで移動するのでその際に多少の水しぶきが入ってきますから、どうしても濡らしたくない場合はビニール袋か何かに荷物を入れたほうがいいと思います。
帰りはファンキードライバーさんが近寄ってきてくれて、車まで案内してくれました。
腰ポチャした事を告げると「いいっていいって、ノープロブレム!」と言ってくれましたが、濡れたまま乗るのも気が引けたので持参したバスタオルを座席に敷いて座りました。泊まっているホテルを告げるとホテルまで送ってくれたのでとても助かりました。
The crew and captain truly know how to make the trip one of a kind!
Qe had a good time! Drinks were good. Employees were awesome as well!
I’m glad I finally got to try surfing in Hawaii. I was a bit anxious at first, but with the support of the instructor, I was able to ride the waves. One thing to note is that photos taken during surfing are available for purchase at $35, but since it’s a special memory, it would have been nice if they could offer them for around $20.
ずっとやってみたかったサーフィン、ハワイで体験レッスンを受けてみてよかったです。初めは不安でしたが、インストラクターサポートの元で波にのることができます。一点、サーフィン中の写真を$35で購入可ですがせっかくの記念ですし$20くらいで提供して頂ければよかったです。
We decided to do this tour for our anniversary and it was amazing! The staff were super helpful and knew what they were doing. Everyone was nice and making sure you're having a good time. The food was great as well as the snacks. Snorkeling was really fun. I seen more than a few turtles and lots of fish! I would not recommend this if pregnant and further along (like myself, I was 22 weeks), this caused my life vest to keep pushing to the side. So I had to use so much strength to hold it down and swim and still snorkel, it was really hard with the belly in the way. Other than that, it was really fun! I would recommend booking before you fly to hawaii. We were told it fits 80 people, i booked ahead anyways and sure enough it was only a 30 head count and full, so there isnt much room for you to wait last minute.
On Friday we were lucky enough to enjoy the Friday fireworks boat cruise. It was so easy to book, easy to find the pick up location on the beach and so relaxing! All of the staff were so accommodating; offering us a range of alcoholic and soft drinks and making us feel so comfortable. The music was great too and they took requests! Super relaxing with lots of great photo opportunities and then we stopped at a good location to enjoy the fireworks. Will definitely recommend to anyone and will do again! Thank you- really set our last night in Hawaii up to be the best!
I made a reservation for my mother, who loves hula. The weather was favorable in early April, and it was comfortable at first, but as the sun went down, it became chilly, and I regretted not bringing a jacket. The show was of high quality, and I was satisfied to be able to show her authentic hula. This time, I chose the Golden Seat, but since we arrived late, we ended up with seats on the edge, which was disappointing. Next time, I definitely want to reserve the Diamond Seat and see it up close.
今回フラの好きな母のために予約しました。
4月上旬天候にめぐまれ最初快適でしたが、日が落ちると
やはり肌寒く上着を持参すればと後悔しました。
ショーは完成度が高く、本場のフラを見せてあげることができて
満足しました。今回はゴールデンシートにしましたが遅めに到着したため
端の席になり残念でした。次回はぜひダイヤモンドシートで予約し
間近で見たいと思います。
It claims to be "150m high," but it's probably referring to the length of the rope, not the height. I've experienced it twice in the same location, and during my previous experience, I went up to a significantly higher place. Those expecting "height" may be disappointed.
「高さ150m」とうたっておりますが、おそらくロープの長さであって高さではないです。
同じ場所で2度体験していますが、以前の体験の方が圧倒的に高い場所まで上がりました。
「高さ」を期待している方はガッカリされると思います。
The reception was a bit hard to find, and I had to search for it a little. First, I moved to a spot where I could see the fireworks well and enjoyed a drink (most people had Mai Tais) while watching the fireworks. The wind was calm, and I had a pleasant time. After the fireworks ended, we went sailing out to Diamond Head and circled back to in front of the Sheraton. As we moved away from the lights of Honolulu, the stars became beautifully visible.
受付は少し分かり辛く、ちょっと探してしまいました。
まずは花火が良く見える場所まで移動しドリンク(ほとんどの方がマイタイでした)を頂きながら花火を鑑賞。風も穏やかで気持ちの良い時間を過ごせました。花火が終わると、ダイヤモンドヘッド沖までセーリングし、ぐるっと回ってシェラトン前まで戻ります。
ホノルルの光から遠ざかるので星もきれいに見えます。
It was fun, drinks were good. Perfect place to see the fireworks on Waikiki Beach.
We participated as two women. Besides us, there were three other families and couples on the same boat. Once we boarded the boat, we put on life jackets and set off! At first, it wasn't very bumpy, but as we went further out, the waves got higher, and it became quite rocky. After reaching a certain distance offshore, it was finally time for each group to start. Once we were fitted with the parachute, we quickly drifted away from the boat and into the sky! At first, it was thrilling, but as we rose higher, we could see the ocean, sky, mountains, and city all at once, and the wind felt so refreshing—it was the best feeling! I'm glad we went up to 150 meters. I was nervous waiting for our turn, but the instructor played music and chatted with us, which helped me relax a bit. I would love to participate again!
女性2人で参加しました。私たちの他に3組の家族や夫婦が同じ船に。船に乗り込むとライフジャケットを着用して出発!最初はあまり揺れませんが沖へ行くにつれ波が高くなるためかなり揺れました。ある程度沖まで行くといよいよ1組ずつスタート。パラシュートを装着してもらうと、あっという間に船から離れていき空へ!最初はスリルがありますが、高くなるにつれ海・空・山・街の景色が一望でき、風もとても気持ちよく最高の気分でした!!150メートルにして良かったです。自分たちの番が回ってくるまでドキドキしましたが、インストラクターの方が音楽をかけてくれたり、話しかけてくれたので少しリラックスできました。また参加したいです!
Good view and good drinks out on the water . Great time with friends
Fun way to get out of the water after sunset and watch the firework show!
I had a great time. Very scenic tour and great for groups.
This luau show was a bit different from what I've seen before, and as expected from Hilton, it was great! I had a very good seat in the front center. However, since the venue is relatively small, I think the experience would still be quite impressive from any front row seat, not just the center ones.
今まで見たのとは少し違うアレンジされたルアウショーでさすがヒルトン!!
前方中央席でとても良かったです。
ただ、会場が割と狭いので中央席じゃなくても前方席なら迫力も対して変わらないかなと思いました。
I went parasailing for the first time. I was torn between skydiving and parasailing, but since parasailing was more affordable, I chose that this time. The hotel picked me up right on time, and the ride to the boat dock was comfortable.
We headed out to sea for the parasailing, and the wind felt nice during the boat ride, which I enjoyed! I usually don’t get seasick, but when the boat picked up speed, it rocked quite a bit. We had to stay on the boat until all four groups finished, and one family seemed to be struggling with seasickness. If you are prone to seasickness, I highly recommend taking motion sickness medication and bringing a plastic bag for vomiting.
For parasailing, after the staff fitted me with the equipment, I quickly ascended high into the sky. Since I love heights, I chose the higher option at 150 meters and was very satisfied. The staff adjusted the experience a bit, making the boat sway slightly and even dipping us into the sea on the way back, but they made sure my face stayed dry, which was fun.
The views of Hawaii and the ocean were incredibly beautiful, and I was very happy to participate! The tour staff were also very nice, and there was a Japanese instruction sheet, which made me feel at ease. I would love to join again if I have the chance.
初めてパラセーリングをしました。
スカイダイビングと迷ったのですが、パラセーリングの方がお手頃だった為今回はパラセーリングにしました。
ホテルには時間ぴったりに迎えに来て頂いて、船乗り場までの道中は快適でした。
パラセーリングをする為に沖に出るのですが、風が気持ちよく船での移動もわたしは良かったです!
わたしは船酔いしない方なのですが、スピードを出したりすると結構揺れが激しく、4組全員が終わるまで揺れる船に乗ってなければいけない為、1組の親子が船酔いをしていて結構きつそうでした。
船酔いする方でしたら、必ず酔い止めを服用し嘔吐用にビニール袋などの持参をお勧め致します。
パラセーリングは部品を装着しお兄さんに設置してもらうとすぐに空に高く上がっていきます。
わたしは高いところが好きな為、150メートルの高い方を選びとても満足しました。
お兄さんのさじ加減により少し揺れたり、戻る際にわざと海に浸からされたりしましたが、顔は濡れない程度にしてくれる為楽しめました。
ハワイの景色と海がとても綺麗で参加して大満足でした!
ツアーのお兄さん達もとてもよく、日本語の注意事項の紙もあり安心して参加できました。
また機会があれば参加したいと思います。
The weather was nice, the view was great, and the breeze felt wonderful—it was the best! The pickup time was perfect, and when I requested to be dropped off in front of the hotel on the way back, they happily dropped me off right in front of the hotel! I managed with my broken English! I'm glad I participated.
お天気も良く、眺めも、風も気持ちよく
最高でした!
ピックアップの時間もぴったりで、
帰りはホテルの前に降ろして欲しいとお願いしたら、気持ちよくホテル前で降ろしてくれました!
片言の英語でなんとかなりました!
参加して良かったです。
My husband and I had a blast! Great crew!! Wish we had time to go again before leaving!
This is my second time. I became a repeat visitor just to see Michael. The Polynesian show is also very impressive. It has become one of my favorite activities in Waikiki.
今回で二回目です。マイケル観たさにリピーターになってしまいました。ポリネシアンショーも見応え十分です。ワイキキでの楽しみの一つになりました。
Thank you very much for visiting us again. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time with us. We sincerely look forward to your next visit when you come to Hawaii.
この度は再来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
My friends and I had a wonderful time watching the fireworks and listening to dance music. The crew was very nice and filled our drinks very quick. I would recommend this tour for everyone. Also the temperature was perfect !
Mr. Yano, who handled the pick-up, was funny and very kind. The two staff members on the boat were also friendly and fun, making for wonderful memories. The photos were on an SD card with 54 images for $30. It included beautiful scenery, so I’m glad I bought it. On the way back, they also kindly shared various recommendations for delicious ice cream shops, making the ride enjoyable. Thank you very much.
On the day of the event, a Japanese guest who had made a reservation did not show up, which caused delays in the pick-up times afterward, so I would like to request that everyone try not to oversleep.
送迎のヤノさん面白くてとても親切な方でした。
ボートのスタッフの方2人も親切で楽しくてとっても良い思い出になりました。
写真はSDカードに54枚入って30ドルでした。綺麗な景色も入っていて買って良かったです。
帰りも美味しいアイスのお店など色々教えてもらいながら楽しく送って頂きました。
ありがとうございました。
当日、予約されてた日本人の方が来なくてその方以降のお迎え時間に遅れたりしてたので寝坊はしないようにお願いしたいですね。
We were impressed with the boat. Excellent captain. Fun music and we went on a Friday for fireworks! Loved it! Suggest you do it on the Friday or any night during sunset. The sunset happens very quickly keep your camera ready!
I was worried because I have a fear of heights, but it was totally fine. More than that, the view was amazing and I was moved. It swayed quite a bit because of the wind, but I wasn't scared at all. I could have gone a little higher. Parasailing in Hawaii was a whole different experience!
高所恐怖症なので心配してましたが、ぜんぜん大丈夫でした。それよりも景色が最高で感動してました。風があったので結構揺れましたが怖さは無かったです。もう少し高く上がっても良いくらいでした。ハワイのロケーションでのパラセーリングは一味違いました!
I was quite anxious and hesitated a lot before signing up, but I'm really glad I did! There were four groups of customers, including us. The staff was really funny and made us feel at ease, and then it was time for parasailing. We chose the 90-meter option, and everyone used the same rope. While we were in the air, it was $30 for photos, but the staff took a lot of pictures for us. It was a valuable experience and became the best memory!
心配性なので、申し込むまでにかなり迷いましたがやってみて本当に良かったです!私達を含め4組のお客さんと一緒でした。スタッフがすごく面白い人で楽しませてくれて、緊張が解けたところでいざパラセーリング。90メートルを選びましたが、全員同じロープを使用していました。空中にいる間は、30ドルと有料ですがスタッフがたくさん写真を撮ってくれます。貴重な経験ができて最高の思い出になりました!
There were more Japanese participants than I expected.
Since it wasn't a large ship, there were times when we got splashed by the waves, but in some areas, we didn't get wet.
The sunset was beautiful because the weather was nice, and I could see it very clearly while holding a Mai Tai!
Next time, I would like to participate when I can see the fireworks on Friday.
思っていたより日本人参加者が多かったです。
大型船ではないため波がかかることもありましたが、場所によっては濡れることはありませんでした。
サンセットも天気がよかったため、マイタイ片手にとてもきれいに見れました!!
次回は金曜の花火をみれるときに参加してみたいです。
Both the hula performance and the entertainment were of a high level, so my family was satisfied. Michael Jackson had quite an impact. Presley also had a great atmosphere and was very enthusiastic in his service.
フラも演奏もエンタテインメントもレベルが高いので、家族も満足していました。マイケルジャクソンはかなりインパクトがありました。プレスリーも雰囲気が出ていたし、サービス精神旺盛でした。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
I participated with my younger brother, husband, 7-year-old son, and 5-year-old daughter. The pickup was a little late, and I was told to call if they didn't arrive after 5 minutes, so I was getting anxious waiting. Just 5 minutes later, they arrived, and I felt relieved. There were concerns that my 5-year-old daughter might be scared of parasailing, but while she was a bit nervous on the boat, it turned out to be incredibly fun for her. My son was smiling and said he wanted to do it 100 more times and wanted to go again tomorrow! I have a fear of heights, so I was a bit anxious, but it was totally fine. The weather was great, and the view was amazing, making it a really enjoyable experience. We also took a lot of photos, and I was very satisfied. Thank you very much! I definitely recommend you try it out. If I ever get to go to Hawaii again, I want to include this in my plans.
わたしの弟、夫、息子7歳、娘5歳の5人で参加しました。お迎えがちょっと遅れていて5分待ってて来なかったらその場で電話してください。っていうことだったのでこないこない。とドキドキしていたらちょうど5分後に来てくれて安心しました。パラセイリングは5歳の娘が怖がるかもしれない。という反対意見もありましたが、ボートでは緊張気味でしたが、パラセイリングはものすごく楽しかったらしく、笑顔であと100回したいって息子は明日もしたい‼️って言うくらいでした。わたしは高所恐怖症でもありちょっと不安でしたがとんでもない全然平気。天気も良くすごくいい眺めで気持ち良くすごく楽しかったです。
写真もたくさん撮っていただき大満足です
ありがとうございました
ぜひ体験してみてください。オススメです
またいつかハワイ行けたらプランに入れたい
です
I experienced this on the morning of my last day in Hawaii. Since it was the final day, I didn't want to waste any time, so I was worried about how the tour would progress. However, there was no wasted time, and everything was handled efficiently, which was very good.
ハワイ最終日の朝いちばんに体験しました。
最終日だったので、あまり無駄な時間をかけたくなかったのでツアーの進行がどのような感じか心配しましたが、無駄な時間もなく、手際よく体験することができて、とてもよかったです。
We participated as a group of ten on our last day in Hawaii. The tour was conducted efficiently, with no wasted time, and it was very enjoyable. I would like to participate again.
ハワイ最終日に10名で参加しました。手際よくツアーが進み、無駄な時間もなく、とてもよかったです。また参加したいと思います。
My 10-year-old daughter and I tried 150m of parasailing together. It was as high as a flying helicopter! There was hardly any swaying from the wind, and it felt more stable than being on a boat. My daughter is fine with heights, so she was able to let go with one hand and move her feet comfortably. The view was, of course, amazing! You can see Waikiki, Diamond Head, and all the way to Waianae clearly.
There were four groups on the boat from various countries, and it had a friendly atmosphere where we took pictures of each other while flying. The crew also spoke Japanese and provided explanations, which was reassuring.
By the way, if you go on the 8 AM trip, you'll be back on land by a little after 9 AM, making good use of your day! ^_^
10歳の娘と2人で150mのパラセーリングに挑戦しました。飛んでいるヘリコプターと変わらないくらいに高かったです!風で揺れることはほとんどなく、ボートに乗っているよりも安定した状態です。娘は高いところも大丈夫なので、片手を離したり足を動かしたり余裕がありました。景色はもちろん最高です!ワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイアナエの方までしっかり見えます。
ボート内は多国籍で4組乗っており、お互いの飛んでいる最中の写真をお願いして撮り合うなど、フレンドリーな雰囲気でした。
クルーの方も日本語で、説明もしてくれるので安心です。
因みに8時の回で行くと、9時過ぎには陸に戻ってきて、1日が有効に使えます^_^
