All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

We had the most wonderful morning! The boat was clean and the staff was excellent. We even saw dolphins! We will definitely be taking this tour again!

I had a great experience with SUP. The trainers and staff were all very nice, and I had a lot of fun. When we arrived, we had some free time first, and we went cycling for about 20 minutes to nearby Lanikai Beach. The turquoise blue beach was beautiful, and we even saw sea turtles! I was able to borrow snorkeling gear from the office beforehand, so I brought it along. After returning from the beach, we had pizza for lunch (you get a voucher), and it was very delicious! In the afternoon, we did SUP, but the wind was strong and the waves were big, so we practiced in the river first before heading out to the ocean. We aimed for a nearby island, but because the waves were high, we had to turn back without landing on the island. It was a shame we couldn't go to the island, but it was still a very enjoyable experience.

SUPの体験をしました。トレーナーの方もスタッフの方もみなさんとても良い人で楽しかったです。到着したら、最初に自由時間があり、20分位のサイクリングで近くのラニカイビーチへ行きました。ターコイズブルーのビーチでとても綺麗でウミガメも見れました！シュノーケリンググッズを事前に事務所で借りられたので持っていきました。ビーチから帰ってきてからランチはピザを食べて、（ただ券を貰えます）とても美味しかったです！午後からSUPでしたが、風が強くて波が大きかったので、最初は川で練習をして、その後海へ出ました。近くにある島を目指して漕ぐのですが、波が高かったので、島へは上陸せずに途中で引き返す形になりました。島へ行けなかったのは残念ですが、とても楽しい体験になりました。

I’m not good with heights, so parasailing was my first experience, but I really enjoyed it. Since we shared the boat with others doing different activities, we had about 30 minutes on the boat. If you are prone to seasickness, I recommend taking some motion sickness medication. The actual time spent parasailing felt like it was less than 10 minutes. During the parasailing, the staff took photos from the boat, and there was a GoPro recording video while I was secured for the parasailing. If you want the data, you need to purchase it, and you can do so after returning to the office once the parasailing is finished. It was a very satisfying activity!

高いところは苦手なので、パラセーリングは初体験でしたが、とても楽しめました。パラセーリング以外のアクティビティの方達とひとつの船に乗って海へ出るので、船の上で30分位？の時間がありました。船酔いする方は酔いどめを飲まれたほうが良いと思います。体感時間は10分もないくらいでした。パラセーリング中は、船の上からスタッフが写真を撮ってくれて、パラセーリングに固定されているゴープロで動画もずっと回されていました。データがほしい人は購入が必要で、パラセーリングが終わったあと、事務所に戻ってから購入します。大変満足なアクティビティでした！

I wanted to play in the ocean in Hawaii, but since I was traveling alone, it seemed lonely, so I signed up for a SUP shuttle, lunch, and guided tour.
Our guide, Mieko, was bright and supportive, and we somehow made it to the island. It was a challenge for me, but thanks to her, I was able to achieve it.
The photos taken on the island show the beautiful blue of the sky and sea! I was also happy to see myself paddling with a bit of a wobbly stance in the pictures. The young couple I was with were also very nice.
It was so much fun!! Next time, I'll go with my husband. Thank you!!

ハワイの海で遊びたかったけど、なんせ1人旅。寂しそうなのでSUPの送迎、ランチ、ガイド付きツアーに申し込みました。
ガイドのミエコさんが明るく、力強くサポートしてくれて、なんとか島まで到達。私にとってはチャレンジでしたが、お陰で達成できました。
島で撮って貰った写真も空と海の青がとっても綺麗！へっぴり腰でパドルを漕いでる自分も写真で見れて、嬉しかったです。ご一緒した若いご夫婦もとても感じの良いお2人でした。
とても楽しかった！！次回は主人と行きますね。ありがとう！！

The waves were calm and it was very comfortable.
However, I think it's better for those who are feeling unwell or are prone to seasickness to prepare some anti-nausea medication.
I applied for the photos, but they haven't arrived, so I sent them to another address via email, but I haven't received a response. Please look into this.

波も穏やかでとても快適でした
でも　体調の悪い人や　船に弱い人は
酔い止めのお薬を用意したほうが良いとおもいます。

I experienced snorkeling for the first time this time. Although I didn't encounter any sea turtles, I saw many fish, and it was a great experience.

今回初めてシュノーケリングを体験しました。
海ガメには逢えませんでしたが、沢山の魚を見れてとてもいい経験になりました。

I can't speak highly enough of Dan, he is so kind and patient! He made sure that everyone was completely comfortable in the water with the equipment before starting the tour. He was constantly checking to make sure that everyone was still doing well and took us to some spots further out that a lot of people that were snorkeling on their own weren't going to. I think we got to see a lot more than we would have if we just did it on our own so I highly recommend this tour! We got to see so many different kinds of fish and even a sea turtle! Dan was taking pictures with his GoPro and let us know that he posts them all online on his company's Facebook page and that way you are able to just keep what you want to. Him and his wife were both so sweet and you can tell they really love what they do!

I had wanted to try parasailing for many years, so I signed up. I remembered that I have a fear of heights and was hesitant to cancel, but this time I decided to muster up the courage and go for it.

On the day of the activity, there were eight customers on the boat, including myself. As we headed out to sea, the staff spread out the parachute, and it opened with incredible force due to the wind. The thought of being launched with such speed made my face tense with fear. I considered switching to just watching, but when I saw the first pair of people floating gracefully in the air, I decided to go for it.

When it was our turn to fly, I felt no fear at all and was able to take in the scenery slowly. I even had the chance to chat with my husband, who was flying with me. The view of the ocean and the town of Hawaii from above was absolutely beautiful. It was so bright that I was glad I had sunglasses. We were in the air for just under five minutes, and I felt like I wanted to fly for a longer time. After that, we descended and were dipped into the sea up to our waists before returning to the boat to finish. I had signed up for a height of 90 meters, but there was no confirmation on the day.

While I didn't feel fear in the air, the boat was moving quite fast, possibly to keep the parachute afloat, which was a bit scary. I was clinging on tightly. My husband, who usually doesn't get motion sickness, said he felt a bit queasy, so I think it would be wise to take motion sickness medication beforehand for peace of mind.

長年パラセイリングをやっていたいと思っていたので申し込みました。自分が高所恐怖症だということを思い出し、キャンセルするか迷いましたが、今回は勇気を出してやってみることに。
当日、私も含めボートには8人のお客さんが乗っていました。沖まで出て、スタッフがパラシュートを広げると、風に煽られすごい勢いで開きました。私もあんな勢いで飛ばされるんだと思うと、恐怖で顔が引きつりました。見学に切り替えようと思いましたが、一組目(2人一緒に飛ぶ、スタイルでした)の人たちがフワフワと飛んでいったのを見て、飛ぶことにしました。
私たちの番がきて、飛んでみると全く恐怖を感じず、景色をゆっくり見ることが出来ました。一緒に飛んだ夫と話す余裕すらありました。
空の上から見る海とハワイの町並みはとてもきれいでした。眩しかったので、サングラスがあって良かったです。空にいたのは5分たらずで、もっと長い時間飛んでいたかったと感じるほど。その後降下して、腰くらいまで海につけられて、ボートに戻って終わりです。高さは90mで申し込みましたが、当日確認はありませんでした。
空では恐怖を感じませんでしたが、パラシュートを浮かせるためか、ボートのスピードが速く、少し怖かったです。必死でしがみついていました。普段乗り物酔いをしない夫が酔った、と言っていたので、酔い止めをのんでおいたほうが安心だと思います。

I was really scared during my first parasailing experience, but it was very comfortable. I'm not good with thrilling rides. There are some roller coasters at Disney that I can handle, but I can't ride any of the famous attractions at Fuji-Q. I was worried about whether I would be okay at 150 meters since it was my first time, but it ascended slowly, so it was fine. The view from the top was truly pleasant. There was no unnecessary noise, just the sound of the wind, making it quiet. I was able to float gently and enjoy the scenery of the sea and mountains at a leisurely pace! It was the best! The guide was also very lively, and I had a great time on the boat. I definitely want to do it again when I come back to Hawaii.

初めてのパラセーリングでとてと怯えていましたが、とても快適でした。
私は絶叫は苦手な方です。ディズニーだと乗れるジェットコースターもありますが、富士急などの有名な乗り物は何一つ乗れないレベルです。
初めてなのに150メートルで大丈夫なのか心配してましたが、見た目よりゆっくりと上に浮かんでいくので大丈夫でした。
頂上からの眺めは本当に快適です。
無駄な雑音はなく風の音のみで静かです。
ふわふわ浮きながら海や山などの景色をゆっくり見ることができました！最高でした！
ガイドさんもノリが良く楽しく船では過ごせました。
またハワイに来たら必ずやりたいです。

The tour was a self tour and was great. The staff were aplenty and were very very helpful. The snorkelling gear and surfing gear was all there. The staff show you each step as to how and where to go and you also get your own bike as well to explore! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to do things their way.

As we set out to sea on the boat, the surrounding water is a beautiful navy blue. When our turn comes, we take a brief stroll in the sky.

My wife feels a bit seasick.

船で沖へ出ると辺りはネイビーの美しい海
順番がきて空へ、束の間の空中散歩

妻はちょっと船酔い

We were the only Japanese in our group, but even if you don't understand English, you'll manage just fine. The foreigners were mostly in light swimwear and had very little luggage. When boarding the boat, you have to climb stairs, and the water comes up to your shins. When the boat picks up speed, you might get splashed a bit. The view from the boat is amazing, and we were lucky enough to see a sea turtle!

日本人は私たちグループだけでしたが、英語がわからなくても何とかなります。外人はほぼ水着が軽装、荷物も少ない様子。船に乗る時に階段を登りますが、ひざ下までは海に浸かります。海上ではスピードが出ると水しぶきも多少かかります。船上からの眺めは素晴らしく、運良くウミガメも見られました！

It was very good.
I thought it might be difficult for my elderly parents, but they flew safely!
It was my first time in Hawaii, and it seems that paragliding was the best part.
I'm grateful for the safe experience for my elderly parents.

とてもよかったです。
高齢の両親には難しいかなと思いましたが、無事に飛べました！
初めてのハワイでしたが、パラセイリングが一番良かったみたいです。
高齢なんで、安全に飛ばしてもらって感謝してます。

My family and I had a great morning! We kayaked, snorkeled, and cliff jumped! The guides were super encouraging, fun and knowledgeable. I only wish I had a water proof case for my phone because now I have no pictures of our awesome time! (They sell cases at the ABC stores)

It was absolutely amazing! I recommend taking photos and videos while you're riding. The breeze felt great, and there was no swaying at all. I want to ride again!

ちょー最高でした！
乗ってる時の写真や動画も撮ることをオススメします。
乗ってる間も風も気持ちよく揺れもなくもう一回乗りたいです

Seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sky was amazing. Walking in the air with the wind was exhilarating, and I will definitely participate again next time.

空から見るワイキキ、ダイアモンドヘッド最高でした。
風をきっての空中の散歩、次回も絶対参加します。

The pickup was about 20 minutes late, which made me anxious, but they apologized properly for the delay, which I appreciated.
Although they didn't speak Japanese, there was a Japanese instruction manual, so it wasn't a problem.
The time spent was longer than I expected, and I was satisfied.
The weather was nice, and I could see Diamond Head beautifully.

ピックアップの時間が20分くらい遅れて、不安になりましたが、遅れたこともきちんと謝ってくれて、好感が持てました。
日本語は通じませんが、日本語の説明書があり問題ありませんでした。
上がってる時間は、思ったより長く感じられ、満足です。
お天気も良く、ダイヤモンドヘッドが綺麗に見えました。

I experienced a group lesson. We started practicing on small waves, and once everyone was able to ride them, we challenged ourselves with the bigger waves further out. The staff were also very accommodating, making it a great memory.

グループレッスンで体験しました。
最初は小さな波で練習して、みんなが乗れる様になったら沖の大きな波にチャレンジ出来ました。
スタッフの方も柔軟な対応で良い思い出になりました。

I have had many snorkeling experiences, mostly on boat snorkeling trips, which gave me a sense of security knowing I could return quickly if anything happened. However, this time I had to swim a bit offshore from the coast by myself for an hour, and I became very anxious and thought about quitting. But the guide held my hand, and I managed to swim for a full hour in the beautiful sea. I had a great time and was very satisfied. Thank you!

シュノーケルの経験は何回もありますが、ボートシュノーケルのことが多く、何かあったらすぐに戻れるという安心感がありましたが、今回は海岸から少し沖の方まで自力で泳いで、1時間と言われ･･･とても不安になってしまい、辞めようかと思ったのですが、ガイドの方が一緒に手を繋いでくれて、綺麗な海をしっかり1時間泳ぎ切りました。
とても楽しめて、満足な時間でした。
ありがとうございました。

At first, I was anxious, but in the end, I had a lot of fun and was smiling. It does take a toll on your stamina though (^_^;). Oh, to my sushi-loving friend Cooguy, the kanpyo is not made from daikon but from "yugao fruit." I mistook it for dried daikon. I'm sorry! When you come to Japan, please eat lots of your favorite sushi (*^_^*).

初めは不安でしたが、最後は楽しくてニコニコでした。体力は奪われますけど(^_^;　あ、お寿司大好きなCooguyへ。かんぴょうは、大根ではなく「夕顔の実」でした。切り干し大根と勘違いしてました。ごめんなさい！日本に来たら、大好きなお寿司たくさん食べてくださいね(*^_^*)

The shuttle bus staff were friendly and good!
The activity staff were cheerful and good!
Despite such a beautiful beach, it was never crowded, which was good!
The lunch included in the package was satisfying and good!
Next time, I want to try a different activity!

送迎バスのスタッフも気さくな方でGOOD！
アクティビティのスタッフも明るくてgood!
あんなキレイなビーチなのに混雑とは皆無でgood!
セットに入ってるランチも満足でgood！
今度は、違うアクティビティをやりたいなぁ〜

I’m really glad I chose this tour for my first snorkeling experience among various options! The two instructors were very experienced and taught us everything in great detail. It was also very reassuring to have instructions in Japanese. I decided to rent a wetsuit on the day, and they were very accommodating with that as well. Everyone participating in the tour was friendly and nice, making for a very enjoyable time. Thanks to this tour, I was able to learn how to breathe properly and clear my ears. We snorkeled from one end of Hanauma Bay to the other for an hour. Afterward, they explained where we swam by showing us an aerial view of Hanauma Bay, which was also moving. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see any turtles, but I was able to see a lot of fish.

色々なツアーがある中から初めてシュノーケリングをする私はこのツアーを選んでとてもよかった！と思います。
インストラクターのお二人は経験豊かでとても丁寧に細かいことまで教えてくださいます。日本語で教えてもらえることもとても安心です。ウェットスーツを当日借りることにしましたが、それにも快く対応してくださいました。ツアーに参加されている方々も皆さん気さくでいい方ばかりでとても楽しい時間が過ごせました。呼吸の仕方と耳抜きをこのツアーに参加したお陰で私は習得できました。1時間ハナウマベイの端から端までシュノーケリングします。終わってからどこを泳いだかをハナウマベイを上から見て説明してくださり、それも感動します。残念ながら亀には会えなかったですが、たくさんの魚を見ることができました。

We had a great time snorkeling in Hanauma Bay with Blue Hawaii Divers. I am not a great swimmer, but our guide helped make me feel comfortable. I felt at ease even when we were out in deeper parts of the bay (~20 ft, I’d guess). We saw so many fish. Snorkeling is a must-do experience, and I think paying for a guided tour is worth it for their expertise and tips. We compared several guided snorkel options before booking this one, and we found this one to be the best value.
Just some other info: we met the group at Hanauma Bay rather than getting picked up, and it was easy to find the meetup spot. Everyone wears an inflatable life vest. The guides had water and chips for everyone after. They also took pictures with a GoPro during our snorkel activity, which were made freely available on the company’s Facebook page.

After boarding the cruiser and heading out about ten minutes, we started in order. Since we were going to do it, we chose the highest course. As we sat on the bench together and lifted our bodies, we floated back and gradually rose higher and higher. There were moments when it shook violently, causing a sense of fear, but the breathtaking views made us forget all that. Looking at the sparkling blue sea and sky with Diamond Head in sight, the experience ended in no time. I highly recommend the highest course if you're going to do it. The feeling of fear probably isn't much different. Lastly, since you can dip your lower body in the sea, wearing swim trunks is recommended.

クルーザーに乗り十分程沖に出て順番にスタート
どうせやるならと一番高いコースへ。
ベンチに2人で腰掛け身体を浮かした瞬間、後ろにふわっと浮いてどんどん上に上がって行きます。たまに激しく揺れて恐怖を感じる瞬間もありましたがとにかくそれを忘れる程の絶景。とにかくキラキラ輝く青い海と空にダイヤモンドヘッドを見ているとあっという間に終わりが来ました。やるなら一番高いコースがオススメです。たぶん恐怖感に大差ありません。最後に海に下半身をつけられるので下は海パンがオススメです。

I was right to do it with my friends ^ ^
It was so much fun!!!!!!!
I want to do it again when I come to Hawaii~ ^ ^

友達とやって正解でした^ ^
とても楽しかったです！！！！！
またハワイにきたらやりたい〜^ ^

I was a bit worried about parasailing since I'm not good with heights, but my sister really wanted to try it, so I decided to give it a shot!!! At first, I was scared, but once we went up, I was amazed by the incredible view☆ I asked the staff to take pictures from below (which costs extra), but once we were up there, I realized I had some spare time and regretted not bringing my phone with me, haha. I really wanted to take pictures from the sky too!!!

The landing was also handled well, and it was soooo much fun☆ Next time I go, I definitely want to bring my phone up with me and challenge myself again (^ー^)

パラセーリングで、高いところが苦手で初めはどうかな。。。と思っていたのですが、妹からのしたいという希望があり挑戦してみました！！！初めは怖かったけど、上に上がったら最高の景色に感動しました☆下からの写真はスタッフさんにお願いしたのですが(有料です)、上に上がったらいがいと余裕もあり携帯を持っていけばよかったと後悔w　上空からの写真も撮りたかったーーー！！！
着水もしてもらって、とーーーっても楽しかったです☆
次に行ったときもは、しっかり携帯も上空に持っていってチャレンジしたいと思います(^ー^)

This is my second time in Hawaii! This time, my wife and I went parasailing for the first time.

We had a great time with two other Japanese couples and a family with a Japanese wife, making a total of four groups.

The pickup was on time and very close to the hotel, which was easy to find.

It was early in the morning in mid-October, but the wind felt nice as we went higher and higher, and my wife and I were super excited to see the boat getting smaller!

The view of Waikiki Beach and the famous hotels from the ocean was truly amazing!

The price was reasonable, but tips are separate, so be sure to prepare for that!

ハワイは2回目！今回は思いきり遊ぶぞということで妻と初パラセーリングでした。

同じ日本人カップル2組と奥様が日本人のご家族と計4組で当日は楽しませてもらいました。

迎えも時間通りにホテルのすぐ近くまで来てくれてわかりやすかったです。

10月の中旬の朝一番からでしたが風も気持ちよくドンドン高くなっていき、ボートが小さくなる姿に妻とテンションマックスになりました！

沖から見るワイキキビーチや有名なホテルの景色も本当に最高でした！

お値段も手頃でしたがチップは別なので用意は必要ですよ^_^

It was the best experience! The staff were very kind, which was great. You can see all of Waikiki, and the blue ocean was wonderful.

最高の経験でした！
スタッフの方がとても親切だったので良かったです。
ワイキキを一望できるし青い海も素敵でした。

I participated in a class starting at 3 PM. After watching a video at the shop on the first floor of the hotel, we walked to the ocean. We practiced on land before taking turns surfing. There were about 10 people in the group lesson, with 3 instructors. They taught us while occasionally mixing in some broken Japanese. For now, everyone in my family was able to stand up. As for whether we were actually riding the waves, that's a bit questionable... I was able to enjoy surfing in Hawaii!

15時からのクラスに参加しました。ホテル1階のお店でビデオを見てから歩いて海へ。陸で練習してから順番に波乗り。グループレッスンで10人くらいいました。先生は3人。時々片言の日本語混ぜながら教えていただきました。取りあえず家族は皆立つことは出来ました。波に乗っているかというと少しあやしいかな‥
ハワイでサーフィンを楽しむことができました〜

This was my third experience with parasailing (the first in Hawaii). The height of 150 meters was exhilarating! The deep blue color of the ocean below was something I had never seen before, and it was truly moving. After enjoying a brief aerial float, I plunged into the sea, and I couldn't help but laugh.

After our turn, it seemed there was a malfunction with the equipment, although the cause was unclear. Unfortunately, the family waiting after us had to return to the port without being able to fly, and I felt very sorry for them.

パラセイリング自体は３度目の経験(ハワイでは初めて)でした。
さすがに150ﾒｰﾄﾙの高さは気分爽快！特に見下ろす海の色が深い青色で、あんな海の色を見るのは初めてで感動しました。しばしの空中遊泳を楽しんだ後は海にジャボン。思わず笑ってしまいました。
私たちの順番が終わった後、原因ははっきりしませんでしたが器具に不具合が生じたらしく、後に控えていた親子は飛べないまま港に帰ることになり、彼らには大変気の毒でした。
