All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

The boarding area was hard to find, which made me a bit anxious. There were few Japanese people around, allowing me to really enjoy the travel atmosphere. I thought two hours would be short, but it felt like I had plenty of time on the boat. The all-you-can-drink option added to the sense of value. The boat was small, so it was fun to see the ocean up close.

乗り場がわかりにくく不安でした。
日本人が少なく、旅行気分を味わえます。
2時間は短いのかと思いきや、たっぷりと船に乗った感じがしました。
飲み放題もついておりお得感がありました。
船が小さいので海を近くに見られて楽しかったです。

Dillon and Chris were the greatest. Words can't express how awesome they made our outting exciting and fun!!

It is worth more than just a sail boat! There is no better way to enjoy an afternoon with gorgeous sunset at Waikiki! We liked the view, the cocktail, the captain...almost everything that we experienced. Sure will try it again if I'm back to Waikiki.

We did some other snorkelling while in Hawaii and were quite disappointed. We were so glad we booked this trip to do some more. We were taken out to some deeper water and as soon as we jumped off the boat we saw multiple turtles! It was amazing. I have never seen turtles this big and so many in one spot. We spent about an hour snorkelling and then went on a sail out in the sun. The boat is quite spacious and room for groups to keep to themselves or sit with others. The staff were all very helpful and fun to have a chat to. I would definitely go out with these guys again if we return to Hawaii.

This cruise was great! Mostly because of the crew. They were friendly and knowledgeable. They watched out for your safety. The boat itself is very sturdy. There is an inside cutout that you can sit in, out of the weather if need be. I took my elderly family and they did great!!!

Saw lots of fish and sea turtles! The guides were very informative.

Had an awesome time on the Hilton Hawaiian Village Sunset Cocktail Sail! Josh, Masa and Brad were a very professional, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Can't wait to come back next year to do this again!

My sister and I had the best time. Didn't see any fireworks, but that really was ok.
If go back to Hawaii we will definitely be doing this again. The captain & mate were
very entertaining. WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!!

Crew was great. Really nice activity right on Waikiki beach. Wish they offered fines to snorkel with. Hard to swim in ocean with out them.

In the midst of a beautiful sunset, a baby whale appeared on the surface of the sea. I was moved by this unexpected development, as I had not been able to see anything during the whale watching the day before. Next time, I would like to participate with my parents.

なんと、美しいサンセットのさ中、子供のクジラが海面に姿を現しました。
前の日に、ホエールウヲッチングでは見ることが叶わなかったため、今回の予想外の展開に感動しました。
次は、両親と一緒に参加したいと思いまいた。

Had an awesome time on the boat! The sunset was pretty and the drinks were awesome! Had a blast!

Never done this before and was kinda nervous. The guys were very professional and made this activity very fun! If I return to Hawaii this will be something I'm doing again!

Capt and crew were anazing. They were very personable and made a great relaxing sail. Food was not too heavy but enough to keep you going. Drinks were strong and delicious, overall amazing sail. Most people were either looking to go back out on the snorkeling trip or had come from it earlier in the day. That good of a sail.

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。

またぜひ参加したいです！

This cruise was awesome, the staff was very entertaining and Mai Tai's went down smoothly, very tasty! Would recommend this cruise to everyone!

I participated after dinner. You take off your shoes and go barefoot. After departure, the DJ played upbeat music, making it feel like a club on the boat. I was able to request various cocktails from the bartender. It was great that we stopped at the best spot to enjoy the fireworks. We were the only Japanese people there, but even though I couldn't understand English, everyone was friendly and it became a fun memory. There is a restroom, but it's small and not very convenient, so I think it's better to take care of that before boarding.

夕食後に参加しました。靴を脱いで裸足で乗ります。出港後はＤＪがノリのイイ音楽をかけてくれ、船上のクラブみたいでした。カクテルもバーテンダーに色々リクエストできました。花火をベストスポットが見られる場所に止まって観賞できてよかったです。日本人は私たちだけでしたが、英語が分からなくてもみんなワキアイアイと話しかけてきてくれて楽しい思い出になりました。トイレはありますが、小さくて使いづらいので乗る前に済ませてきた方がいいと思います。

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。

Went here after our wedding. It was very organized for the amount of people attending yummy buffet before show which was a top notch with all of the performers! Thank you for a wonderful time!

Amazing toime beautiful water beautiful boat couldn't ask for more.

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！

This time, I chose the buffet plan. It was great to enjoy interacting with other guests while watching the show outside. The show was full of enthusiasm, and I received a gift from one of the performers. I would love to participate again.

今回はバイキングのプランを選択しました。店外でフラショーを見ながら、他のお客さんと交流して楽しめたところも良かったです。
ショーはサービス精神旺盛で、出演者の方からプレゼントを頂きました。また、参加したいです

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！

I attended with my mother. My mother, who is in her 50s, was very pleased with the content of the show. It was heartwarming to see the hula dancer providing services like holding and taking pictures with guests who had small children during the waiting time.

母と二人で参加しました。
50代母がショーの内容に非常に喜んでいました。
待ち時間にフラのお姉さん？が、小さな子連れのお客さんに抱っこや写真のサービスをしていたのが見ていて微笑ましかったです。

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 really looked fwd to seeing a magnificent show under water of the colorful fish that swim in the area. I just sat on the wrong side of the SUB. Who knew????

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‼︎‼︎

Excellent experience worth every bit unlimited drinks very friendly and happy crew and the sunset was beautiful a must do

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。

My wife and I took the Maitai Sunset Sail for our wedding anniversary. Our crew, Ian and Lindsey, made the sail fun and Lindsey made sure that our hands never went without a glass. Water was beautifully calm, view from the waterfront was spectacular, and the fireworks just topped it off. I highly recommend this outing to anyone.

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。
エキストリームにすべきです。
