All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

If you're going to Hawaii, I want to follow her pink fins again. Next time, I'll change the timing. It was my first time snorkeling, but she was very good at easing my anxiety, and I was able to enjoy it comfortably. Moreover, she knows so much about the ocean, and her sense of the best spots for that day reflects her extensive experience. Thank you so much!

ハワイに行くなら、また彼女のピンクのフィンについていきたいです。次回は時期をかえて、初めてのシュノーケリングだったのに、不安を取るのがとても上手で安心して楽しめました。
それにとにかく海に詳しくて、その日のスポットセンスが彼女の経験の多さを感じます。本当にありがとうございました！

For an additional $10, you can also rent a bicycle, which is great since it's close to Kailua Beach. You can also extend your visit to Lanikai Beach and go to town. This time I only had beach items, but next time I want to try kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding.

プラス$10で、自転車も借りる事が出来、カイルアビーチに近くて良かったです。
ラニカイビーチにも足を伸ばせますし、タウンにも行けます。
今回はビーチアイテムのみでしたが、次回はカヤックかスタンドアップバトルボードに挑戦してみたいです。

I participated on February 4th, and to sum it up, it was amazing. On that day, we gathered at the shop inside the Queen Kapiolani Hotel on the east side at 8:35 AM. There were no Japanese employees at the shop, but they were accustomed to dealing with Japanese customers, and there were conversations with jokes in Japanese as well as signs in Japanese, so there was no need to worry if you can't speak English. We drove about three minutes from the shop to the beach right in front of the zoo. I was staying at the Aston Waikiki Beach Tower, but it was only about a 10-minute walk from the hotel to the beach, so my wife and others walked from the hotel to the beach. On that day, I didn't surf, but a total of six people participated, including my 16-year-old daughter, a Japanese family, and a Korean couple. Since it was my daughter's first time surfing, we requested a private lesson. This was the right choice. In a group, there is one instructor for every five people, which reduces the number of times you can catch a wave, but with a one-on-one lesson, there are frequent opportunities to ride the waves. Thanks to this, my daughter was able to enjoy surfing frequently and surprisingly quickly. After finishing, we returned to the shop, where they showed us images taken by a drone. There were both videos and still images, and for those interested in purchasing, they send the data for $50. The images were not just of my daughter; they included all participants, with about 300 still images and around 30 short videos. After paying, the data was sent to my specified iPhone at the shop in about 30 minutes. Including the tip, it is certainly not a cheap tour, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime memory. It felt very affordable to me.

2月4日に参加しましたが、結論から言いますと、最高でした。当日は朝8時35分に東側にあるクイーンカピオラニホテル内のショップに集合しました。店の従業員には日本人はいませんでしたが、日本人の扱いに慣れておられ、日本語でのジョークを交えた会話もあり、日本語での表示もあり、英語ができなくても心配はいりません。ショップから車で３分程走り、動物園の目の前のビーチに移動しました。私はアストンワイキキビーチタワーに宿泊していましたが、ホテルからビーチまで歩いて10分程度の距離のため、妻達はホテルから歩いてビーチまで来ました。当日、私はサーフィンをしませんでしたが、16歳の娘、日本人親子、韓国の男女と合計6名が参加しました。娘はサーフィン初めてのこともあり、プライベートでお願いしました。これが正解でした。やはりグループですと、コンダクター1人につき5人なので、波に乗れる回数が減るんですが、マンツーマンですと、頻繁に波に乗る機会があるんです。その甲斐もあって驚くほどはやく、娘は波乗りを頻繁に楽しんでました。終了後、ショップに戻り、ドローンで撮影した画像を見せてくれます。動画、静止画あって購入希望者は50ドルでデータ送信してくれます。娘1人が撮影されているものではなく、参加者全員が撮影されたもので静止画で300カット、短い動画で30カット位ありました。お金を支払うと30分程度でショップで指定した私のiPhoneに送信されてきました。チップ代を含めると決して安いツアーではありませんが一生の思い出。わたしにはとても安く感じました。

The instructor was very kind and amazing! I want to ride again! I will definitely make a reservation the next time I come to Hawaii!

インストラクターに方がとても親切で最高でした！
また乗りたいです！
次にハワイ来た時も必ず予約します！

I had an absolutely wonderful time! A pod of dolphins came close to us. The yacht staff were very lively, took photos for us, and engaged with us Japanese guests, making it a fun experience! Thank you for the lovely time!

最高に楽しい時間でした！イルカの群れも寄ってきてくれました。ヨットのお姉さん達もとっても元気で写真を撮ってくれたり、私達日本人にも声をかけてくれて楽しませてくれました！ステキな時間をありがとうございました！

The parasailing time is about 10 minutes. Gradually, you rise higher. The view from above was amazing. When descending, there is no feeling like a roller coaster; you come down slowly, so it's not scary at all.

パラセイリングの時間は10分程度。
徐々に高さが上がっていきます。
上からの眺めが最高でした。
降りる際もジェットコースターのような
フワッと感は一切なく
ゆっくりと降りていくので怖くないです。

There were four couples, including us Japanese.
We made the reservation on-site, and everything went smoothly.
There was one staff member who spoke Japanese, but they left to join a sandbar tour partway through, so we received the explanation about the Sea Bob as soon as we arrived at the boat dock.
All explanations on the boat were in English, including how to equalize pressure. It was manageable, but it did make me quite anxious at times.
During our tour, there were five Sea Bobs available. We dove in pairs, but since many participants were in pairs, only one person could prepare at a time, which meant those waiting had to stay on the boat for a bit.
My husband went first, but the other Sea Bob didn't arrive, so I ended up waiting on the boat for over 10 minutes. To make matters worse, they tried to guide the next person, so I hurriedly said, "I haven't gone yet!" and they quickly assisted me, but in the end, I experienced the Sea Bob for less than 10 minutes, including preparation time.
Still, we saw plenty of turtles, the ocean was beautiful, and we encountered a pod of dolphins, so overall, I was satisfied.
While waiting for our turn on the Sea Bob, we could go snorkeling. All explanations for that were also in English. I hope to convey in this review that snorkeling is also available.

As mentioned before, motion sickness medication is absolutely essential!
The stationary boat sways more than you can imagine.

Photos are expensive, but I think they are worth it.
We received a set of our photos and pictures of the turtles, about 20 in total.
It was a unique experience, and if I hadn't had to wait on the boat, it would have been perfect.

日本人は私達夫婦を含め4組でした。
予約は現地で行いましたが何も問題なく催行されました。
日本語を話せるスタッフが1名いましたが、途中からサンドバー付きのツアーについて行ってしまうのでシーボブの説明は船の乗り場に到着後すぐに説明してもらいます。
船上では全て英語の説明でした。耳抜きの仕方なども全て英語。それでも何とかなりますが結構不安になったりします。
私たちのツアーの時はシーボブは5台でした。2人1組で潜りますが(ペアで参加してる方が多いため)準備は1人ずつしか出来ず一緒に潜れないため後から乗る方は船上で少し待ちます。
私は主人が先に行きましたがもう1台のシーボブが来ず結局船上で10分以上待たされました。おまけに次の方を案内しようとされたので慌てて「まだ乗ってない！」と伝えたらすぐに案内してもらえましたが結局シーボブを体験出来たのは準備も含め10分もないくらいでした。
それでもホヌはたくさん見れたし海は綺麗だしイルカの群れにも遭遇出来たのでトータルでは満足です。
シーボブに乗ってない待機中はシュノーケリング出来ます。それの説明も全て英語です。この口コミでシュノーケリングも出来る事を伝えられたらと思います。

既出ですが酔い止めは本当に本当に必須です！
止まってる船上は想像以上に揺れます。

写真は高いですが買う価値はあるかなぁ…と思います。
自分達の写真とホヌの写真がセットでした。20枚くらいです。
中々出来ない体験でしたので船上で待たされた事がなければ最高です。

For the first time, I went paragliding at 150 meters! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و
The staff's upbeat energy got me super excited, and off we went! The sensation of rising higher and higher was pure fun. Once we reached the top, it felt amazing to just float without being buffeted by the wind. The view of Waikiki was breathtaking! ( *¯ ³¯*)
If I had to mention one thing, the photos turned out dark due to backlighting, so next time I’ll definitely try in the afternoon!
*They advise not to bring valuables, but if you want to get images on an SD card, it costs $30, so you'll need to tip plus the $30.* (o^▽^o)

150mで初のﾊﾟﾗｾｲﾘﾝｸﾞ‎‎‎٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و
StaffのノリノリなﾃﾝｼｮﾝにわくわくがMaxになりいざ出発！！ぐんぐん上がる感覚は楽しいそのもの。上がりきると風にあおられることもなく、ただふわふわと浮いてる感じで最高でした！！ﾜｲｷｷを一望出来るさまは圧巻‎( *¯ ³¯*)
しいていえば、逆光で出来上がりの写真が暗かったので、次回は是非午後に挑戦します！！
※貴重品は持たないようにとありますが、SDｶｰﾄﾞで画像をもらう場合は＄30かかりますので、ﾁｯﾌﾟ+＄30が必要になります‎(o^▽^o)

I was nervous during my first parasailing experience, but it was fun! There were no other Japanese people among the guests I rode with, but everyone was nice and talked to me a lot. I chose the 150-meter option, and the parasailing itself was refreshing and great, but it took quite a long time to get to the spot on the boat, and the boat was rocking a lot, which was scarier.

初めてのパラセイリングで緊張しましたが、楽しかったです！一緒に乗ったお客さんの中に日本人は誰もいなかったですが、いい人ばかりでみんなたくさん話かけてくれました。150メートルを選んで、パラセイリング自体は爽快でよかったのですが、そのスポットに行くまでけっこう長い時間ボートに乗って、そのボートがめちゃくちゃ揺れてそっちの方が怖かったです。

"I want to swim if I go to Hawaii!" After receiving this request, I was looking for a tour that my mother (66 years old) could join. I was about to give up due to the age restriction (only up to 65 years old) when I found this tour.

This tour alleviated all my concerns (transportation, managing valuables, where to swim to avoid fatigue, snorkeling instructions, etc.). The transportation to the hotel eased my worries about meeting up on the way there, and it was appreciated on the way back since we were tired.

Swimming was made easier with life jackets, allowing us to float even in deep water. By swimming with the current, we could conserve our energy. Even if you don't know how to use the equipment, our guide Dan explained everything in simple Japanese.

Depending on the weather and climate, it might be better to rent a wetsuit. I swam on January 31, 2020. The weather was cloudy, and the seawater was cold (not freezing, but it felt "cold... If the weather was nice, it would feel good"). I wore a rash guard over my swimsuit and shorts. Towards the end of the swim, I felt cold. I bought the rash guard locally for about $50. My mother wore a full rash guard as well, but she still said, "It feels a bit chilly towards the end." It was a good decision to bring a bath towel borrowed from the hotel.

Things I was glad I brought from Japan included candy and powdered Pocari Sweat, which I mixed with water. I wished I had brought hot water on the day.

Seeing the photos and comments in the reviews here helped me know what to prepare in advance, so I wrote this as a way to give back! I hope it helps someone!

「ハワイに行くなら泳ぎたい！」のリクエストを受け、母（66歳）でも参加できるツアーを探していました。年齢制限（65歳まで参加可）に引っかかり、諦めかけていたところに、このツアーを見つけました。
このツアーは、持っていた不安（送迎、貴重品管理、どこから泳ぐと疲れにくい、シュノーケリングのレクチャー等）をすべて解消してくれました。
ホテルまでの送迎は、行きは合流ができるか不安だったのを払拭し、帰りは疲れてるのでありがたかったです。
泳ぐのも、ライフジャケットがあるので、足のつかないところでも浮かんでいられるので、助かりました。
海の流れに逆らわないで泳ぐので体力が続きます。
使い方が分からなくても、ガイドのDanさんが日本語で簡単に説明してくれました。

天候や気候によっては、ウェットスーツを借りた方がいいかも知れないです。
私が泳いだのは、2020年1月31日。
天候は曇りでした。
海水は、冷たかったです。（水風呂まではいかないけど、「冷たい…。…お天気なら、気持ちよさそう」な体感でした。）
服装は、水着の上からラッシュガードを着て、下は短パンを履いていました。
泳いでいる最後の方は、寒く感じました。
ラッシュガードは、現地で$50くらいで買いました。
母は上下ラッシュガード着てました。
それでも、「最後の方は肌寒いなぁ」って言ってました。
ホテルで借りたバスタオルを持って行って正解でした。

日本から持って行って良かったものは、飴、ポカリスエットの粉。水に溶かして持って行きました。
当日持って行ったら良かったと思ったものは、白湯でした。

ここの口コミの写真や文章を見て、事前に準備するものが知れたので、恩返しで書きました！
誰かの役に立つといいなぁ〜

The view was amazing! I thought I might get wet in the sea at the end, but it was just my toes, which was fine! I was very satisfied to see dolphins too!

眺め最高でした！
最後海で濡れるかなと思いましたが足先だけで良かったです！
イルカも見れて大満足でした！

I thought we would be flying on something like a chair, but it was just a rope, which was scary at first, but it was safe. Since there were six groups sharing the ride, the waiting time was long, which is a downside, but the breeze felt nice and it was a good experience. I think taking motion sickness medication is essential because the boat moves quite a bit.

椅子の様なものに乗って飛ぶのかと思ったら、紐だけで最初は怖かったが安全でした。
6組が乗り合わせだったので、待つ時間が長いのが欠点ですが風が気持ちよくて良い体験でした。
かなり、船の移動が揺れるので酔い止めは必須だと思います。

Experience 150 meters!
The view is amazing, and it's not scary at all! Looking down is a little scary, though... (laughs)
We were flying in the sky for about 5 minutes!!
It was fun!

Since there were four other groups with us, we spent quite a bit of time on the boat. I recommend taking motion sickness medication! The boat ride felt like a kind of attraction, and I enjoyed it!

150mを体験！
とても眺めがよくて、全然怖くありません！下を見れば少しだけ怖いけど…(笑)
5分くらい空を飛んでます！！
楽しかったです！

私たちの他に4組の方と一緒だったので、ボートに乗ってる時間の方が結構長いです。酔い止めを飲むことをオススメします！ボートも一種のアトラクションのようで私は楽しかったです！

Our group of 9 all agree this was the best excursion we had in Oahu. The staff took great care of us, and the scooters were a lot of fun. We saw so many turtles!

I tried parasailing for the first time in Hawaii. It was so much fun flying over the beautiful ocean. However, I think it's essential for those who are prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication.

ハワイで初めてのパラセーリングに挑戦しました。綺麗な海の上を飛べて、とても楽しかったです。ただ船酔いしやすい方は酔い止めが必須だと思います。

I made a reservation the night before the experience, and everything went smoothly, including the hotel pick-up. On the day of the activity, we were blessed with good weather and calm waves, allowing us to have a great time. We enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling, and we were able to see sea turtles up close, which was very satisfying. The half-day schedule was also convenient, especially since there are so many things I want to do in Hawaii. It was nice that it wasn't too physically demanding compared to diving, so I could enjoy it without getting too tired. The staff were friendly and approachable, creating a pleasant atmosphere, and I had a fulfilling time. I would definitely like to participate again if I have the chance.

現地で体験前日の夜に予約を取りましたが、ホテルの送迎含め問題なく参加して帰ってくることができました。
当日は、天候にも恵まれ波も穏やかで思いきり遊べました。サップやシュノーケリング、そしてウミガメも近くで観られ、大満足でした。半日というスケジュールも、ハワイでやりたい事が沢山あるなかで気軽に参加しやすいとも思います。体力的にも、ダイビングと違いそこまで疲れずに楽しめた事がよかったです。スタッフの方も気軽に話しかけてくれて、雰囲気もよく充実した時間が過ごせました。また、機会があったらぜひ参加したいです。

The sea was beautiful and the breeze felt wonderful! During the underwater scooter experience, the instructor was right there with us, so there was no confusion, and we got to see fish up close as well as a sea turtle!
The instructor for the experience didn't speak Japanese, but it wasn't a problem at all. They seemed to understand simple Japanese, so I felt no anxiety.
However, the boat rocked quite a bit, so I think motion sickness medication is a must. I tend to get seasick easily, and I forgot to take my medication, which turned out to be quite a situation, haha. My husband, who usually doesn't get seasick, was also affected quite a bit, so that's the only downside!

海がきれいでとても風が気持ちいかったです！水中スクーターの最中はインストラクターさんが付きっきりなので迷うこともないですし、まじかでお魚も見れてウミガメも見れました！！
体験のインストラクターさんは日本語が通じないけれど、特に問題ありませんでした。簡単な日本語なら解るらしく、不安はなかったです。
ただ、船が結構揺れるので酔い止めは必須だと思います。私は元々酔いやすいのに、酔い止め忘れてえらいことになりました笑
旦那さんも船酔いあんまりしない人なのに結構やられてたので、難点はそこだけですね！！

Chieko is the best! We had the best snorkeling tour.

It was great. Saw lots of fish and a sea turtle. Was hoping to see a Whale, but they were gone on the day we went.

It was a great experience. Saw lots of fish and a Sea Turtle.

Great experience and beautiful views! The sand bar was incredible. We had a full days trip, but we didn't need that much time. I would recommend a half day for future participants.

On the day of the activity, the weather was nice, and we started a little earlier than planned at 7 AM. It was my first experience kayaking, but the guide was kind and taught us carefully, so I was able to paddle without any issues. The sunrise was beautiful, and it felt great. We also went to a cave, which was thrilling and a lot of fun. I would love to try it again if I have the chance.

当日、天候も良く、予定より少し早い7時からスタートしました。カヤックは初めての経験でしたが、ガイドさんに優しく丁寧に教えていただき、問題なく漕げました。朝日が綺麗で、気持ち良かった。洞窟にも行けました。そこはスリル満点で楽しかったです。また機会があれば乗ってみたいです。

The weather was really nice, and I got quite sunburned while waiting. While riding, the breeze was pleasant, and I was able to enjoy it without worrying about the heat. There was background music that added to the atmosphere, and it was great to see Diamond Head up close.

天気がすごくよく、待ち時間でかなり日焼けしました。乗ってる間は風が心地よく暑さを気にせず楽しめました。BGMもあって雰囲気がよかったし、ダイアモンドヘッドも間近で見れて良かったです。

We participated as a couple. The experience lasted about 15 to 20 minutes, but time flowed very slowly, and we were able to see sea turtles and fish up close. We were very satisfied!! During the waiting time, we could have gone snorkeling, but unfortunately, I got seasick and couldn't do it. However, since there are two types of activities available, I highly recommend it!! The timing was from morning to early afternoon, so we were able to enjoy shopping back in Waikiki as well! My husband and I were looking for activities that could be done in half a day, so this tour was perfect for our wishes. I would love to participate again.

夫婦2人で参加。
15〜20分程度ですがとてもゆっくりとした時間が流れておりウミガメも魚もとても近くで見ることが出来ました。大満足です！！
待ち時間にはシュノーケリングも出来ましたが、
残念なことに私が船酔いしてしまいできなかったのですが2種類のアクティビティが出来るのでとてもオススメです！！
時間は朝から昼過ぎだったので、ワイキキに戻って買い物も楽しめました！私達夫婦も半日で出来るアクティビティを探していたのでこのツアーは私たちの希望にピッタリでした♩
また参加したいです。

Since 9 AM and 10 AM were fully booked, I requested the earliest slot at 8 AM! As a result, there were only a few people (including us, 5 in total), so we could enjoy the experience at a leisurely pace! The person who picked us up and all the staff were very friendly and nice, and it was totally fine even if you can't speak English! (It's good to have tips for both parties.) The staff took photos for us, but it costs money, so we took pictures with other Japanese participants and shared them via Airdrop! Parasailing was truly amazing; I was hesitant until the last minute, but I'm really glad I did it! The view from 150 meters up is fantastic! I want to do it again when I go to Hawaii!

9時、10時がいっぱいだったので朝一の8時からお願いしました！結果人数少なくて(自分たちを含め5人)ゆっくりと体験できました！送迎してくれる人、スタッフの人みんな気さくでとても良い方ばかりで英語が話せなくても全然大丈夫でした！(どちら方にもチップはあった方がいいです)写真はスタッフの方が撮ってくれますがお金が掛かるので日本人の参加者の方と撮り合いAirdropで送り合いました！パラセーリングは本当に最高で直前までやるか悩んでいましたがやってよかったと本当に思います！しかも150m上から見る景色は最高です！またハワイに行ったらやりたいです！

We went as a family of five, and we were divided into two groups of three and two. My parents and I talked about how this is definitely something you should do!!! The view is amazing, and the coolness of flying in the heat is the best! While waiting for my turn, the staff kept the atmosphere lively, which was fun. They were very kind, and it was the best memory!

家族5人で行き、3人と2人で対応させてもらいました。
両親と飛んだ時にこれは絶対やるべき！！！と話していました(笑)景色も最高ですし暑い中飛ぶ涼しさは最高です！自分の番を待っている間もスタッフの方が盛り上げてくれ楽しかったです。
親切にしていただき最高の思い出です！

I had a great time. The waves were high, but everyone was well-mannered, so there was nothing to be afraid of. We also had a car-mounted video, which created great memories. Thank you!

大変楽しめた。波が高かったですが、皆さんマナーも良く怖い事はありませんでした。車載ビデオもあっていい思い出ができました。ありがとうございます。

If you go to Kauai this is a must do, there is nothing like it!

I flew with a 7-year-old boy. Although we didn't weigh a combined 80 kilograms, they carried out the activity without any issues or questions. The child seemed to have a lot of fun, even though he was a bit scared. Be sure to prepare a tip of $10 or $20 to give at the end!

7歳の男の子と一緒に飛びました。二人合わせて80キロではありませんでしたが、特に聞かれることもなく問題なく実施してくれました。
子どもは怖がりながらもとても楽しかったようです。チップを10ドルか20ドルを最後に渡すので、用意しておきましょう！

Since it was a great opportunity, I decided to challenge myself at 150 meters!
With the sunny weather continuing and no wind, the view from above was an indescribable blue ocean and blue sky.
Just being blessed with good weather felt incredibly lucky!
I can understand why it's safe for even the elderly, as there’s no strain on the body! It felt like I was a bird♪
The crew members were also very friendly, and it’s definitely worth doing!

せっかくなので150メートルでチャレンジ！
晴れの日が続き、風もなく上から見る景色は例えようのないブルーオーシャン、ブルースカイ。
お天気に恵まれただけでもとってもラッキー！
体にかかる負担もなく、お年寄りでも安全にできるのはわかる気がします！鳥になった気分です♪
クルーの方々もとってもフレンドリーで、絶対にやる価値あります！
