ハワイ島 パラセイリング <午前・午後/カイルアコナ発> by UFO Parasail

家族全員大満足!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望, 2012/09/16

9歳の息子と夫婦2人の3人でスタンダードに参加しました。
主人は高所恐怖症なので最初はビクビクしていましたが、いざ上空にあがってしまうと、ぜんぜん揺れもなくとっても気持ちが良いと言っていました。息子も今度くるときはもう一つ高くあがるデラックスに挑戦すると言ってます。

高いところから見るコナの町は最高でした!!

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Would do again in a hearbeat!

Reviewed by: Liz G., 2012/08/22

My granddaughter (14 yrs old) and I did this kayak snorkeling trip last month (July 27, 2012) and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! We had never kayaked before but had snorkled quite a few times over on Oahu. Our group of 11 included both experienced and novice kayakers. The guides (especially Brent) were helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and especially patient with us newbies. Water visibility was fantastic. We saw an abundance of different fish when we stopped to snorkel and were lucky enough to have a pod of dolphins come within 15 feet of us. That alone made the experience memorable. Water bottles were provided on the kayaks and when we stopped we snacked on drinks, chips and fresh delicious pineapple. I would strongly recommend wearing water shoes/sandals in order to be able to easily climb up to the lava cliff to make the jump. Would I do this snorkeling trip again? In a heartbeat!!!

Hawaiian Canoe Surfing & Paddling Tour Adventure from Waikoloa - Hulakai

I Love Canoe surfing!!

Reviewed by: mynmgh1, 2012/08/18

We've been to Hawaii several times, but this is the first time we canoe surfed. This was such a fun activity, and since we purchased it on sale, the value was great! The men who guided us were so nice! They were so friendly and knowledgeable. Not only was it fun, but extremely interesting. They told us a lot of history about outrigger canoeing. The tour was supposed to be a half an hour, but lasted about an hour. Just a heads up you will paddle so there is a bit of exercise (nothing outlandish). Also, if you get sea sick you may want to take Dramamine, since you have to wait for waves just floating there. I would love to do this again!!

Amazing Experience

Reviewed by: Christine Noriga, 2012/07/18

We were on our honeymoon and decided that we wanted to go snorkeling for our 1st time so I did research and this just sounded amazing to have a 2 in 1, snorkel & kayak! Kayaking is something that neither of us had done before either. We got there nice & early and all of the staff were very friendly. The adventure on the ocean was real cool too, the view from the ocean was beautiful along the coast. When we parked our kayaks, we snorkeled and the coral reefs were so pretty and the fish were bright colors like you see in magazines, it was awesome! We got out of the water and climbed the lava rocks and explored the tide pools in the immediate area while other people on our tour were still in the water watching sea turtles. We were asked if we wanted to climb some rocks & jump off the cliffs and I did it in a heart beat cause it looked like fun and it was. Fresh fruit, snacks & juices were provided to us by our guide Samantha I think was her name(if not something with an S). She was absol

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Great Views from the Water

Reviewed by: Missing Hawai'i All Ready, 2012/07/14

My family of 6 really enjoyed the kayak and snorkeling trip on the Big Island. The guides were extremely friendly, informative, and supportive. We had a couple of stops on the trip out, where we learned more about the island and its history. The snorkeling was great. It also provided a sense of how deep the water was, which made jumping off the cliff much easier. The guides provided plenty of refreshments, which made the trip back a little easier. Kayaking does require physical activity, so be prepared and drink water (which they will provide).

Great staff!

Reviewed by: bigislandgurl, 2012/06/19

Felt like a tourist but I got to do things I never did before like jump off that high cliff and kayak on my own. It was a LOT of work for me. If you've never done it, go with a double kayak. It's a little easier. The sea caves were non-existent. We only got 2 feet near a small little opening in the rock. The snorkeling was good. I rated the trip 4 stars only because of our guide who was really understanding and encouraging when it came to handling the fact that my daughter's boyfriend could not swim. It was because of our guide, I think his name is Brent, that John became daring enough to snorkel off the kayak and get help getting onto the rocks where he was able to relax a little and enjoy the snacks. The jump off the cliff is scary but fun to brag about afterwards. It was worth it for the experience of paddling a kayak on the open ocean but thank heaven the water wasn't rough when we went!

Kona Scuba Diving Adventure (from Honokohau Harbor)

Great Dive company and experience

Reviewed by: PaulB Santa Cruz, 2012/05/01

I would go into the Manta Ray dive but the other reviews are right on the money with the description. The only thing I would add is that we saw more Mantas than 28, I think they said there were about 40, but I don't know how they can tell when the water is so filled with them and they are doing that awesome dance above our heads. I have done some really cool dives all over the world and this is a really unique experience and should not be missed if you are on the Big Island.

I wanted to also re-assert how awesome this dive company was, and specifically Colin and Janine. I have paid big money to go on live aboard trips in the Caribbean and Thailand, Mexico and Hawaii, and the professionalism of the crew, the boat, and the care given to the divers was above and beyond anything I would have expected. They have a first class boat and they don't get greedy and over crowd the vessel, and the snacks were great too. And best of all they made this whole thing a lot of fun with humor

Great Staff!

Reviewed by: Julie O., 2012/04/15

I have to say, the staff was fantastic. We came as a family - 2 adults and one 12-year old. One of us adults (me) got motion sickness on this trip. My 12 year old had to bear the brunt of the paddling as we were sharing a kayak. I was dreading the trip back from our snorkeling stop. The guides could see that we were struggling (because of my nausea and the high seas) and they tethered us to their kayak and helped us in. We continued to work our paddles but I think we might still be on the water today if it weren't for their help. My husband was in a single kayak and he did fantastic and had a great time. We certainly cannot blame anyone for my sea sickness except me but the staff was very nice about it and extremely helpful. Thanks guys for all of your help! My husband and son are ready to go again but I think I'll sit the next one out.

Bring Sunscreen!

Reviewed by: SharkBait, 2012/03/29

Great, fun day splashing around off the Kona coast. Nothing wildly new, unless you've never done this sort of thing before. Getting buzzed by a pod of spinner dolphins and the 20-ft cliff jump were highlights. Just be aware: you're looking at several hours of direct sun here, so best buy the aloe first.

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Compact and worthwhile

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/03/14

It was a compact tour of kayaking, snorkeling, cliff diving and sea-cave watching, though the weather didn't allow sea-cave exploration on that day. The overall experience was worthwhile for a first-timer. The tour made it much easier for route guidance, picking up kayaking tips, tying up kayaks when snorkeling and quick onshore energy supplement. It might be a little demanding physically for individual rowers. Yet the staff were very experienced, helpful (and encouraging for beginners).

Kayaking

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/03/14

Had a good time. I'm athletic so asked for a single but was put in a double kayak with my father since girls are "weak". My father got sea sick so we were towed back even though I wanted to do the rowing. I never did get the exercise I wanted and never saw the sea caves so was pretty disappointed. My brother went on to see the caves in his single kayak. We were told that the activity would be over at noon but my brother came back at 11 a.m. We had to wait around til noon for our ride which was also a little disappointing. Wouldn't do this activity again under the circumstances.

UFO Parasail Adventure - Best Kona Parasailing Tour

First time

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/01/02

This was my first time to parasail. I came to Hawaii with my mother who is afraid of heights and water, so I was on my own. It was my first morning in Hawaii and I was not sure where to go. When I called the office after not finding it on my own the lady who answered stayed on the phone talking me through parking then waling from several blocks away. Outstanding service to make sure I was were I needed to be! As soon as I stepped on board both men where ready to answer any questions and talk me through the process with calm confidence. I don't think I could have had a better experience. Thanks to all who worked that day to make my first time a positive experience in what could have been an stressful situation.

Sea cave

Reviewed by: susan, 2011/12/27

This was reccommended for all levels. I do not agree. We had several children who were not able to paddle and it made it very hard for the adult in that boat. My parents are in their seventies, the guides were nice enough to pull them. The tour was great my family was not the type of customer that needed to be on this tour. We were allowed out of the kayak to snorkle, a very nice spot, but we had to climb on rocks to take a break. The sea cave was neat but not exactly what I was expecting. We ahd to ask to jump off the cliffs - I am not sure they usually do that although it is in the description. The dolphin and whales were no where to be seen. think there are better snorkling tours available unless you are strong and love to kayak.
However the staff and company was great.

ハワイ島 パラセイリング <午前・午後/カイルアコナ発> by UFO Parasail

最高の気分!!すごい眺めでした

Reviewed by: tamiyo, 2011/11/11

初めてのハワイで参加しました。

ハネムーン初日、ハワイ到着後すぐにレンタカーでカイルアコナに向かい、パラセイリングへ。ここで一気にテンションMAXになってしまいました☆★
高さ244mのデラックスコースを選びましたが、空から見る景色は本当に本当に絶景で、どこまでも広がる青い空と海の中で、二人でただただ「すごいねぇ」を連発していました。まさに息をのむような光景だったと思います。

飛んでいる間は、何度かボートが曲がったり、高度を海面スレスレまで下げたりして楽しませてくれます。
私たちはジーパン&Tシャツでいったのですが、水着を着ていて「濡れるの(WET)OKだ」と言えば、足が水につくぐらいまで下げてくれるようです。急上昇&急降下はけっこうスリリングなので、景色だけじゃなくアトラクションとしてもかなり魅力的でした!!
もし、「ちょっと怖いかな…」と思うようであれば、一番低い高度でも十分楽しめると思います。私たちの選んだ真ん中のでもかなりの高度だと感じたので、一番上だとどんな感じなのか…。また機会があれば、是非チャレンジしてみたいです!!


注意した方が良いのは、受付時とボートの上での安全確認です。英語に自信のない方はちょっと難しく感じるかもしれませんが、特にボート上で言われる「金具をさわらないこと」と「ベルトの締め方」については、ゼスチャー交じりでも良いので、納得できるまでしっかり確認をした方が良いと思います。
ガイドの方は日本語はできませんが、英語で丁寧に説明してくれました。こちらが理解できていないことは、何度でも教えてくれます。大切なのは、決して適当に「OK」と返事をしてしまわないことだと思います。

ボートに乗るとあっという間に海の真ん中に出て、準備ができれば一気に空の上…上にあがってから急にパニックにならないよう、落ち着いて心の準備をしておけば、誰でも安全に楽しめると思います!!
