All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

After enjoying the beautiful beach, I went shopping in Kailua Town. My husband found the aloha shirt he wanted, which we couldn't find in size M in Honolulu, but we discovered it in Kailua! He seemed really happy about it.
It was helpful that we were able to get a ride to Kahala without any additional charge.
Next time, I want to rent a bike and go to the farmers' market.

綺麗なビーチを楽しんだ後、カイルアタウンでお買い物しました。主人が欲しかったアロハシャツ、ホノルルではMサイズがみつからなかったのに、カイルアで発見! すごく嬉しかったようです。
カハラまで追加料金なしで送迎してもらえて助かりました。
次回は自転車をレンタルして、ファーマーズマーケットに行きたいです。

We participated as a family of four. Out of the ten participants, everyone except our family was foreign, and they were lively, cheering and clapping, making the time enjoyable even outside of our own experience. Each pair had about ten minutes of experience, and we returned to the port after 1 hour and 10 minutes from departure.

It was our first time parasailing, and the view from above was magnificent and refreshing. When we reached the highest point, it felt like we were at the same height as Diamond Head. The sky and sea were both a brilliant blue, and Waikiki, with its lined-up hotels, looked beautiful, making us feel like we had stepped into a postcard.

Our daughters participated while filming with a GoPro, and that video became a nice souvenir. Just for reference, I tend to be a bit anxious and brought various items with me, but I hardly got wet (just a little on my feet), and I didn't need to use a towel or change clothes. Haha.

家族4人で参加しました。
10名の参加者のうち、うちの家族以外は外国人でノリが良く、歓声があがったり、拍手がおきたりと、自分たちの体験以外の時間も楽しかったです。
各ペア10分ほどの体験で出発から1時間10分で港に戻って来ました。
初めてのパラセーリングでしたが、空からの景色は壮大で清々しく、一番高く上がった時はダイヤモンドヘッドと同じくらいに感じました。
空も海も一面青く、ホテルが連なるワイキキは綺麗で絵はがきの中に入り込んだ気分になりました。
娘たちはゴープロを撮影しながら参加。その動画もお土産になりました。
参考までに、、心配性で荷物をあれこれ持参しましたが、ほとんど濡れることもなく(足が少し濡れる程度)タオルも着替えも使いませんでした。笑

Parasailing was my first experience, and it was exhilarating. I had the precious opportunity to see the beautiful scenery of Hawaii from the ocean. The operation was smooth, allowing us to go up and down and even dip a little into the water, which was a lot of fun. One downside was that while others were participating, we had to stay on the boat, which made some people feel seasick. I felt like most people were a bit nauseous. I think it would be more comfortable if there were fewer groups on the boat at the same time.

パラセーリングは初めてでしたが、爽快感があって、ハワイの景色を海から見られるという貴重な体験が出来ました。
操縦もうまく、上げたり下げたり、少しだけ水の中に入れたりと、楽しませてくれました。
ひとつ難点は、他の方がやっている間も船に乗っているため、酔うことです。ほとんどの方が酔っていた気がします。もう少し同乗する組が少なければ快適なのかなと思いました。

I was picked up at my hotel in Honolulu, and after about a 40-minute drive with the instructor and others, we arrived at the bay while listening to stories about Hawaii's traffic conditions. Since it's a protected beach, we watched a lecture video before entering. The way there was downhill, so I didn't need to take the shuttle. This beach is shallow, so it's more like playing in the water than snorkeling. However, it's suitable for families and beginners. The sea turtles are in deeper areas, but we were able to see a turtle eating on the rocks. The guide adjusts to your skill level, so I think you can participate with peace of mind.

ホノルルのホテルまで迎えに来てもらい、インストラクターさんの車で約４０分、他の方と同乗でしたが、ハワイの交通事情等お話しを聞きながらドライブでベイに到着。自然保護されている浜なので入場までレクチャービデオ見たりします。行きは下りなのでシャトルに乗らずとも平気でした。この浜は浅いのでシュノーケリングというか水遊び的な感じですね。でもその分、家族連れでも初心者でも大丈夫。ウミガメは深いところにいるので泳いでいく場所に行きますが岩場でご飯食べるウミガメさんに会えました。ガイドさんもレベルに合わせてくれるので安心して参加できると思います。

I participated with my 8-year-old and 6-year-old children. The younger one, who was feeling anxious, relaxed thanks to Dan's smile and humor, and we were able to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind thanks to Chieko's thorough lecture. I was also impressed by the thoughtful considerations and advice on the beach, not just about snorkeling. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to repeat this experience. Thank you very much! ☆

８歳と６歳の子供と参加しました。
不安に感じていた下の子も、ダンさんの笑顔とユーモアで緊張もほぐれ、チエコさんの丁寧なレクチャーのおかげで、安心して楽しむことができました。
シュノーケリングのことだけではなく、細かな配慮やビーチでのアドバイスにも感激しました。
またハワイに行く機会があれば、ぜひリピートさせていただきたいと思います。
ありがとうございました☆

I participated to enjoy the sea slowly! I was able to spend a luxurious time, and I am very satisfied! There were also Japanese staff, which made me feel very secure.

ゆっくり海を楽しもうと参加しました！
贅沢な時間を過ごす事が出来て、とても満足です！日本のスタッフもいて、とても安心でした♪

OMG!! What an experience! Soaring above beautiful blue waters with sunny skies! The captain and his mate were entertaining and engaging. They gave a mini lesson, took pics and were understanding with our autistic son whom went first with his dad! The location was super convenient since it was right in the back of our hotel! Our time was suppose to be later but they were able to move us up which apllowed us to get to our next activity on time. If you are fearful suck it up and jump right in! It's a decision you would not regret!

My fiancée and I had a great Oahu experience. The team on board made us very comfortable and explained each step with detail. They chose a great site to go in at and the personal attention when in the water was amazing. Hats off to the crew.

Pickup was on time, and we got on the boat on the almost immediately.

The 2 guides were great!

The parasailing experience was great with fantastic views all around. The only downside was that since the wind was towards the direction of the sun, all the photos were just silhouettes and our faces couldn't be seen. This is nothing against the company, who were great :)

Would recommend!

The staff were cheerful, and even though I couldn't communicate in Japanese, I had a great time and it became a wonderful memory. It was such an enjoyable experience that I would love to participate again next time.

スタッフが陽気で日本語通じなかったけど、楽しませて頂いていい思い出になりました。
次回、もう一度参加したいと思えるような体験ができとても楽しい時間になりました。

The round-trip shuttle service to the hotel made transportation very easy! The boat ride was also very pleasant with the sea breeze, and parasailing was absolutely amazing! The clear weather made the view of Hawaii from above exceptional. The wind felt great too!

ホテルまで往復送迎がついていて移動はとても楽でした！
ボートでの移動もとても潮風が気持ちよく、パラセーリングはとても最高でした！
よく晴れていて上空から見るハワイはまた格別でした。風も気持ちよかったです！

The arrangements were excellent, and I was able to spend my time comfortably. The local staff were all smiling and friendly. Thank you, Tomoki and Riki.

段取りが良く、気持ちよく過ごせました。現地スタッフはみな笑顔で好意的です。トモキさん、リキさん、ありがとうございました。

On my first trip to Hawaii, I was unsure about what activities to do, but I'm glad I chose parasailing! I challenged myself to 150 meters! The view and the feeling were absolutely amazing! ✨

初のハワイ旅行でアクティビティー何やろうか悩みましたが！パラセーリングやって良かったです✨150m挑戦しましまた！眺めも気持ち良さも最高でした✨

We participated as a family of three. The transportation was smooth, and the whole experience lasted just under two hours.

We flew at the highest altitude, but my 8-year-old son was not scared and had a great time flying.

Participants exchanged cameras and took many photos without spending any money.

I would love to do it again if the opportunity arises!

私達は親子三人で参加しました。
送迎もスムーズで、全部で2時間弱でした。

1番高い高度で飛びましたが、8歳の息子も
怖がらず、大変楽しく飛ぶことができました。

写真は参加者さん同士でカメラを交換し、お金をかけずにたくさん撮って頂きました。

また機会があったらやりたいです♪

The crew was sensational! I loved their friendliness, easy-going American attitude and care for their passengers.
We loved the afternoon and were fortunate to see some wildlife.
Highly recommended.

I was a bit anxious about the language barrier, but the driver could speak a little, which was reassuring. The two crew members on the boat couldn't speak, but it wasn't a problem at all. The boat trip included four families, all of whom were Japanese. When it was our turn on the boat, they asked if we wanted to take pictures. I forgot the exact amount, but after getting off the boat, they gave us an SD card with the photos. We also gave a tip when we got off the boat, so some cash was necessary. During the parasailing, we went down to the water's surface, so we got wet, but the weather was great that day, and it became a wonderful memory. I highly recommend it!

日本語が通じないと言うことで不安はありましたが、ドライバーさんは少し話せる方で安心しました。船の方２人は話せませんでしたが、特に問題はありませんでした。その船は私たち夫婦含め4家族での参加でしたが、全員日本人でした。船に乗り自分たちの番が来ると写真撮りますか？と聞かれます。いくらかは忘れてしまいましたが、船を降りた後に写真が入ったＳＤカードでくれます。船を降りる際にチップも渡しますので、多少の現金は必要でした。パラセーリングも水面まで降りたりしましたので、濡れましたが、その日は天気も良くとても良い思い出となりました。すごくオススメです！

We experienced parasailing at 150 meters for the first time at the request of my daughters, who are in 6th and 4th grade. We signed up for the 1 PM session and were a bit anxious due to reviews about delays in transportation, but a cheerful driver arrived right on time to pick us up.

The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki during the parasailing was amazing and refreshing! My husband and I, who are afraid of heights, were quite nervous due to the altitude, but our daughters were absolutely thrilled. I'm glad we chose the 150 meters! At the end, thanks to the veteran captain's skill, we were gently dropped into the water. Everyone in the tour was watching, and he made sure our heads didn't go under the water! I was impressed by his technique!

Although it was a calm day, the boat rocked quite a bit! Our family took motion sickness medication, but we still felt a little queasy... I think taking motion sickness pills is essential. The boat crew and the driver were all cheerful, making the experience enjoyable! They offered a photo service for an additional $30, but since we were able to take pictures as a family, we didn't opt for it.

小学6年、4年の娘の希望で初めてのパラセーリング150mを体験しました。
13時の回に申し込みし、送迎が遅れるというクチコミにドキドキしてましたが、時間ピッタリに愉快なドライバーさんがお迎えに来てくれましたよ。
パラセーリングは、ダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキの眺めが最高で爽快でした！高所恐怖症の私と旦那はあまりの高さにビクビクしてましたが、娘たちは大満足。150mで良かったです！ 最後は、ベテランキャプテンの技で海の中へボチョン 笑 ツアー参加者全員をみてましたが、頭は海に入らないようにしてくれているんです！テクニックに感動しました！
ただ、穏やかな日でしたが、ボートはかなり揺れます‼︎ 私たち家族は酔い止めを飲んでましたが、それでも少し気持ち悪くなりました…酔い止めは必須かと思います。
ボートクルー、ドライバーの方皆さん陽気で楽しく参加できました！写真撮影サービスは追加で30ドルと言われましたが、家族で撮り合い出来たので頼みませんでした。

Initially, we hoped for a sunset cruise, but it was fully booked even a week in advance during summer vacation. However, the daytime cruise was available even two days prior. My parents in their 70s and my elementary school-aged child were able to enjoy the views of the Hawaiian sea and the sea breeze unique to sailing. The scenery might be better during the day. My middle school son is prone to seasickness and felt quite exhausted, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're susceptible to it.

There were many foreign tourists, but it wasn't a problem at all. You can order drinks, but I didn't see many people doing so. We had our photos taken before boarding, but I had no idea when they were selling them, and my limited English made it difficult to confirm. Also, when boarding and disembarking, we had to take off our shoes and walk in the water or up the stairs of the boat, which was challenging for my mother with foot issues, but the staff were very helpful. We had heard we might see dolphins or sea turtles, but unfortunately, we didn't. Overall, we were satisfied.

当初サンセットクルーズを希望していましたが、夏休みで一週間前でも満席でしたが、こちらの日中のクルーズは前々日でも大丈夫でした。70代の両親も小学生の子供もハワイの海からの景色と帆船ならではの海風を楽しんでもらうことができました。日中の方が景色はよく見えて良いかもしれません。中学生の息子は元々船酔いしやすく、グッタリしていましたので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだ方が良いです。
外国人観光客も多かったですが、特に問題ありませんでした。飲み物を注文できますが、頼んでいる人はあまり見かけませんでした。また、乗船前に写真を撮ってもらいましたが、販売をどのタイミングでしていたのか、全くわからないまま、英語力もないので確認できませんでした。また、乗船時と下りるときは靴を脱いで海の中を歩いたり船の階段を上りますので、足の悪い母は大変でしたが、スタッフの方も助けていただきました。イルカやウミガメに会えるかもと聞いていましたが、残念ながら会えずでした。でも全体的には満足しております。

My overall impression of the experience was good. What I liked most about the activity was seeing the fish while snorkeling. I also saw a few turtles bobbing in and out of the water. There was a boat passing with some dolphins visible which was a nice surprise. My advice for future participants include taking precautions for any motion sickness because the water can make the boat rock a bit depending on the waves. Otherwise its a nice experience overall. It was great at the end of the trip when our shoes were lined up before exiting the ship.

Pick from driver was prompt and on time. Once we arrived, we were given very clear instructions once on the boat, all the staff and the captain was very friendly and once we were on our way, everything we needed to know was explained clearly.

The actual scooter came on another boat and we were told how to get in and out of it, and I have to say the experience was unlike anything I've ever done before! We were only about 10-12 feet down but it was so wonderful to be in the water and not having to worry about anything.

The divers were very very professional and attentive, very friendly and very knowledgeable, and once we were done with the scuba scooter experience, it was a nice relaxing time on the boat to either go snorkeling or just enjoy the beautiful scenery around us!

Highly recommended, the staff was absolutely great and the captain was "cherry"!

Will definitely do it again next time we are in Honolulu! Highly recommended!!

I was unsure whether to go alone by bus, but I decided to join the round-trip shuttle bus tour. The pickup location was not at my hotel, but it was within a few minutes' walk. After riding a mini bus for about 30 to 40 minutes, we arrived at the facility near Kailua Beach. Several Japanese staff members were waiting to explain the services.

I rented a bicycle for $10 and went snorkeling at Lanikai Beach, which was about a 15-minute ride from the facility. It was a bit chilly and rainy that day, so I couldn't snorkel for long, but the sea was beautiful, just as I had heard, and the beach was not crowded. I took photos with the Mokulua Islands in the background. I then rode my bike to Kailua Beach, which took about 5 minutes (be careful of the hill).

I planned to swim at Kailua Beach, but I gave up because the rain got stronger. I decided to return to the facility for lunch. The tour included free rentals other than bicycles, and I could eat lunch at the facility's restaurant or a nearby pizza place. When I returned to the facility around noon and went to the nearby pizza place, I found out it opened at 1 PM, so I had to give up on that. I was disappointed because I wanted to eat pizza.

I rode my bike to Kailua town, which took about 15 minutes. There was a lot of traffic, so I had to be careful while riding. After having lunch in town, I enjoyed shopping at stylish shops and had some delicious dessert before returning to the facility to take the mini bus back to the city.

It was a fulfilling tour without any wasted time. It's a pity it wasn't sunny, so I plan to try again next year.

単独でバスで行くか迷ったが、往復シャトルバスツアーに参加。
ピックアップ場所は、滞在先ホテルではなかったが、徒歩数分圏内。
ミニバスに乗り30〜40分でカイルアビーチ近くの施設へ。
日本人スタッフが数名待機して、サービスの説明。
自転車を$10でレンタルして、ラニカイビーチまでシュノーケリング。
施設から15分程度。当日は雨模様でやや寒く、長い時間シュノーケリングは
できなかったが、噂通りの綺麗な海と空いているビーチ。双子島をバックに撮影。自転車でカイルアビーチに移動。5分(坂道注意)程度。
カイルアビーチで泳ごうと思ったが、雨が強くなった為、断念。
施設へ戻りランチをすることに。ツアーには、自転車以外のレンタル品は無料で施設内のレストランか近隣のピザ屋？でランチが食べられる。
12時頃に施設へ戻り近隣のピザ屋へ行くと営業は13時からとことで断念。
ピザが食べたかったので残念。自転車でカイルア市内へ。15分程度。自動車の交通量が多いので運転に注意。市内でランチを済ませ、オシャレなショップで買物三昧。美味しいデザートを食べて施設へ戻り復路のミニバスで市内へ。
無駄のない充実したツアーだ。快晴ではなかったので残念。来年再チャレンジ

My father participated!
Trolling in Hawaii was his dream.
The captain was a local, and since my father doesn't understand English, he was very anxious, but the captain was friendly and accommodating, and he returned very satisfied!
He talked about how tired he was and how heavy it was, with a very happy expression on his face!
I was able to do the best filial piety.
Thank you very much!!

父が参加しました！
ハワイでトローリングは父の夢でした。
船長さんは現地の方で父は英語がわからないのでとても不安がっていましたが、気さくに対応していただき、大満足で帰って来ました！
疲れた～重かった～とそれはそれは嬉しそうな顔で話してくれました！
最高の親孝行が出来ました。
ありがとうございました！！

I had so much fun the first time that I wanted to experience it again! This time, the wind was strong and I felt a bit nervous at first, but once I got used to it, it was really enjoyable. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea is beautiful, but as the catamaran moves, the changing shades of blue in the ocean are truly breathtaking.

1度目にとても楽しかったので、もう一度体験したい！と思い参加しました。
今回は、風が強くはじめのうちは少し緊張しましたが、慣れたらやっぱり楽しかったです。
海からのワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドも素敵ですが、カタマランが進むにつれて海の青が変化して感動します。

We experienced it as a three-generation family, and everyone was very satisfied. It felt like we were on Soarin' at Tokyo DisneySea.

親子3世代で体験しましたが、全員が大満足でした。東京ディズニーシーのソアリンに乗っているみたいでした。

This sailing experience is reasonably priced, and surprisingly, it takes you out to the ocean, allowing you to enjoy the changing colors of the sea with Diamond Head in the background while viewing the hotels around Waikiki from the water. If you're lucky, you might even spot a graceful honu swimming, which brings a sense of happiness.

However, one point to note: although the duration is short, there is no shade on the water, and the sun can be quite strong, so especially for women, a hat, sunglasses, and a light jacket are essential!

このセーリングはリーズナブルですが、以外と沖までクルーズしてくれるので、ダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに徐々に海の色が変わっていく様子を体験しながら、ワイキキ周辺のホテル群を海側から見ることができますし、運が良ければ優雅に泳ぐホヌも見かけることがあり、幸せな気分になります。
ただ、１点だけ注意。短い時間ですが、洋上には日陰がなく、日差しが強いので、特に女性は帽子にサングラス、パーカー必須かな⁉️

We departed with five groups, including my family. My five-year-old daughter and I were the second group. As we floated up, we quickly ascended, and a wonderful view unfolded before us. It felt like sitting on a swing, so even my five-year-old daughter could enjoy it. However, by the time we reached the fourth and fifth groups, even those of us who usually don’t get motion sickness found it quite tough. Since the speed is adjusted to ascend, those who are prone to motion sickness might end up feeling nauseous. Even for those who don’t usually get motion sickness, it would be wise to take some anti-nausea medication just in case.

私たち家族含め5組での出発となりました。
私と5歳の娘は2番目でした。
フワッと浮き上がると、みるみる上昇し素晴らしい景色が広がります。
ブランコに座ってるような感覚なので、5歳の娘でも楽しむことができました。
ただ、4組目5組目ともなると普段乗り物酔いをしない私たちでさえ、酔いが結構キツかったです。
上昇させるためにスピードを出したり緩めたりするので、乗り物酔いしやすい人は吐いてしまうかもしれません。
乗り物酔いしない人でも念のため酔い止めを飲んでおいてほうがよさそうです。

The weather was absolutely perfect, and the sea was amazing. I also met the best instructor, which made for a very fulfilling experience.

とても最高の天気で最高の海でした。そして最高のインストラクターに出会えとても充実した時間を過ごすことができました。

My beginner daughter successfully rode the waves! We signed up for a group lesson, but luckily, it ended up being a private lesson with just the two of us on the day.

初心者の娘も見事に波乗り成功！グループレッスンで申し込みましたが、ラッキーなことに当日は娘と二人きりで実際はプライベートレッスンでした。

This was my second time parasailing, so I decided to challenge myself at the highest altitude of 150 meters! Up I went smoothly into the sky. It felt amazing! I thought, "Oh, this isn't so high," but after a while... wait, am I going up again? It's so high! I don't mind heights, but it's a bit scary... However, I was able to enjoy a lot of time in the air, and by the end, I felt like I could go even higher! I'm really glad I chose the highest option. My wife, who isn't fond of heights, seemed to enjoy it while saying it was scary, especially since we were with our child. And then, at the end, we plunged into the sea! Since I was the first to jump, I didn't realize there was an option for that and foolishly shouted out loud. The crew was cheerful and made it lively, and after it was all over, it felt like a little cruise, allowing us to enjoy even more after parasailing!

パラセーリングは二回目だったので、今回は一番高い150mにチャレンジ！
スルスル〜っと上空へ。気持ちいい〜！
なんだ、そんな高くないじゃないかと思っていたら、しばらくして…ん…また上がってる？
た・高い〜！
高いところは嫌いじゃないけど、ちと怖い…
でも、たっぷり空中散歩を楽しめるし、終わってみると、まだまだいける！
なんて思ってしまうくらいで、一番高くしてよかったと思います。
高いところが苦手な妻も、子供と3人だったので怖い〜と言いながら、笑顔で楽しめたようです。
そして、最後に、海にドボン！
一番最初に飛んだので、そんなオプションがあると思っていず、迂闊にも大声をあげてしまいました。
クルーの方たちも、明るく盛り上げてくれて、終わった後も、ちょっとしたクルーズのようで、パラセーリングの後も、たっぷりと楽しめました！

It was my second time parasailing in my life. The view of Diamond Head from above was spectacular! However, I suffered from seasickness and sunburn... what a mistake.

人生2度目のパラセーリングでした。上空から見たダイヤモンドヘッドも絶景！
ただ、船酔い&日焼けには懲りました、、、失敗。
