All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

The wave conditions were checked in advance, and the time was changed to an earlier slot, but the waves were calm and it was fantastic. It was my first time kayaking in the ocean, so my body was sore afterward, but snorkeling in the sea was amazing. Sunscreen is absolutely necessary. Even with it on, I got quite sunburned.

事前に波の状態をみて早めの時間変更となったが波も穏やかで最高でした。海でのカヤックは初めてだったので後日体が痛くなりましたが、シュノーケルでの海は最高でした。日焼け止めは絶対に必要です。塗ってもかなり焼けました。

Easy morning trip from the centre of Waikiki, staff were excellent and made the family feel relaxed and informed.

Yes the boat is a little tired but hey we had fun as a family , felt safe and would do the trip again.

A lot of waiting around and when you get on a jet ski you cannot go fast or on your own because they want you to follow a designated course. Have been on much better!

I experienced the 150m.
This is definitely something you should try!
You'll understand once you do it. It's not that scary; it just feels great.
Even my 10-year-old daughter, who is scared, was able to do it!

During the boat ride to the spot, you might get seasick depending on the waves, so I think it's a good idea to take some motion sickness medication beforehand.

150mを体験しました。
これは是非体験すべき！
やってみたら分かります。そんなに怖さはないですよ、とにかく気持ちがいいです。
怖がりの10歳の娘にも出来ましたよー。

沖までのボート移動では波の具合により酔う事があると思うので、酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいいと思います。

Enjoyed everything we were treated fairly and felt welcome when we arrived..best deal in Honolulu if u just want to go for a short trip out along the shoreline of Waikiki and see some deep blue ocean water.. not bad for the price .

I was worried that the kids might be scared, especially my first-grade daughter, but all three of them were thrilled and said they wanted to do it again after it was over! The breeze felt nice, and it was a wonderful time for a stroll in the air.

子供達が怖がるかな？特に小学1年生の娘はどうかな？と心配していましたが、子供達３人大喜びで、終わった後またやりたい！！と言っていました。
風も気持ち良く、ステキな空中散歩の時間でした。

I experienced this on the first day, and it was absolutely amazing to see all of Hawaii!!! The vast mountains and the sparkling ocean were breathtaking, and even when we landed, we touched down on the water a little bit. I think this is an activity you should definitely try. I want to do it again!!

初日に体験しましたが、ハワイを一望してすっごい最高！！！
広大な山々とキラキラとした海が見れて降りる時も少し海に着水してもらったり、これはやった方がいいアクティビティだと思います。
またやりたい！！

I was a bit anxious since it was my first time. The instructor mentioned that the guidance would be in Japanese, but we were able to communicate well, so I was satisfied! Even as a beginner, the instructor helped me skillfully, and I was able to ride the waves in no time during the one-hour session. Falling off the board was not a problem at all. I definitely want to participate again!

初めてだったので不安もありました。インストラクターは指導単語は日本語でと言った感じでしたが、十分コミュニケーションが取れたので満足です！
初めてでもインストラクターが上手に手伝ってくれた為、波にも乗れてあっという間の１時間。ボードから落ちても問題ありません。是非また参加したい内容でした！

I participated with three friends. Everyone was nervous since it was our first time, but the staff were very friendly and made us laugh, which helped ease our tension! All three of us agreed that it was so great that we wanted to do it again! I would like to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

友人3人で参加。みんなはじめてでドキドキだったけど、スタッフの方がたくさん声をかけてくれたり笑わせてくれて緊張もほぐれました！3人とも「もう一回やりたい！」と声が揃うほど最高でした！またハワイに行くときは参加したいと思います！

The tour started at 5 PM, and there were no Japanese participants, just four groups out on the water. It might have been fine if we had gone parasailing first, but since it was last, I got seasick from the waiting time. It was quite close. However, the activities were amazing. We even saw a double rainbow.

夕方17時からのツアー、日本人はおらず4組で海にでました。最初にパラセーリングに乗れると大丈夫だったかもしれませんが、最後だったため待ち時間で船酔い。かなりギリギリでした。が、アクティビティは最高。ダブルレインボーもみれました。

I had an awesome time snorkeling and would highly recommend the tour. I am not a strong swimmer and was somewhat anxious about the experience. To calm my fears, Cheiko held my hand for the majority of the tour which allowed me to relax and to challenge myself to let go and enjoy the moment. I felt safe and was able to accomplish a personal goal, especially since I love adventure. What a thrilling ride! My nephew accompanied me who had the time of his life as well!

The activity itself was fine, but it seems that the management of the transportation is not going well. I recommend obtaining a mobile number that you can use to call on-site.

アクティビティ自体は問題ありませんが送迎のマネージメントがうまくいってないようです。　現地で電話できる携帯番号を取得しておくことをお勧めします。

I have done parasailing several times, but this was the highest in terms of altitude and airtime, allowing me to enjoy a leisurely stroll in the sky! The top of Diamond Head was almost at eye level, and I was able to enjoy a view looking down on Waikiki, so I’m glad I chose the 150m parasailing. You do get dropped into the sea quite a bit, but that was fun too. The staff spoke a bit of Japanese and had a sense of humor, which made it enjoyable. They also took plenty of photos while we were flying. However, since the boat has no roof, sun protection is essential.

パラセイリングは何度かやったことがありますが、高さ・滞空時間ともに過去最高で、ゆっくり空中散歩を楽しめました！
ダイヤモンドヘッドの頂上がほぼ目線の先にあり、ワイキキの街もかなり眼下に見下ろせる景色を味わえたので150mのパラセイリングにしてよかったと思います。
海にはガッツリ落とされますが、それも楽しかったです。スタッフさんも片言の日本語をしゃべりユーモアがあって楽しませてくれました。飛んでる間の写真もたくさん撮ってくれます。
ただ、船には屋根がないので日焼け対策は必須ですね。

After the lecture by the renowned instructor Mieko, I thought I had grasped the tips and headed out to the sea, underestimating how easy stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) would be. Despite the conditions being rated a 9 out of 10 with calm waves, I struggled to stand and balance at first, falling into the water multiple times and realizing how challenging it was. However, the sea was beautiful, and I felt happy to experience my first SUP in such a scenic setting, especially since participants the day before had faced high waves in the river. ✨ Although I applied sunscreen diligently, the strong sun still led to some sunburn.

After paddling mostly while sitting, I finally reached an uninhabited island where Mieko kindly explained the island's scenery and wildlife, took great photos at nice spots, and we enjoyed some conversation.

On the way back, I felt a bit more accustomed to it, and with the flow of the waves, the board moved smoothly. Thanks to Mieko's precise advice, I was able to stand and balance for longer, and it felt like I quickly returned to the beach. I wished I could have stayed out longer! I'm glad that with Mieko's guidance, I was able to stand and maneuver the board!

The recommended pizza lunch after all that effort was exceptionally delicious!

名物インストラクターミエコさんの講義の後コツは掴んだつもりで海に出て、サップは簡単にできるものだと舐めて掛かっていたんですが、当日波が穏やかで10段階中9評価のいいコンディションとのことだったのに最初は全然立ってバランスが取れず何度も海に落ちてその難しさを実感しました。ただ、海は綺麗だし前日参加の人は波が高く川でやったとのことだったのでその景色とコンディションの中初サップができることに幸せを感じました✨ただ日射しはとても強かったのでしっかり日焼け止めを塗っていたけど日焼けは避けられませんでした

ほぼ座り漕ぎでようやく辿り着いた無人島ではミエコさんが丁寧に島の景観や生物について説明してくれたりいいスポットで写真を撮ってくれたり会話も楽しめました。

帰りは少し慣れたことと波の流れもあってボードはスムーズに進み、ミエコさんの的確なアドバイスで立ってバランスが取れる時間も長くなってあっと言う間にビーチに戻れた感覚でもっと長く乗っていたかったと思いました。
今回ミエコさんに指導して頂いたお陰で立って操作できるまでになれたのでよかったです！

頑張った後のオススメピザランチは格別に美味しかったです！

We traveled to the parasailing location by a small boat. During the ride, the cheerful instructor kept the atmosphere lively and played music, which made it a lot of fun! After moving over the bright blue sea for a while, we took off, and the view of Oahu from the sky was truly breathtaking—a rare sight that can only be seen here. Each group had about 5 minutes, and when we participated, there were four other groups, so there was a bit of a wait. Since the boat kept moving while we waited, those who are prone to motion sickness might want to have some motion sickness medication. Lastly, it was great that we could purchase photos taken by the instructor with a camera on an SD card (it cost an additional $30, but I bought it). I would definitely like to request this again when I visit Hawaii!

パラセーリングをする場所まで小型の船で移動しました。その間も陽気なインストラクターの方が盛り上げてくれたり音楽を流してくれたりでとても楽しかったです！真っ青な海の上をしばらく移動した後に飛んだのですが、空から見るオアフ島は本当に絶景で、ここでしか見られない貴重な景色でした。大体1組5分程度で、私たちが参加した時には他に4組の方々がいらっしゃったので少し待ち時間はありました。待っている間もずっと船が動いているので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めがあった方がいいかもしれません。最後にインストラクターの方がカメラで撮ってくれた写真をSDで購入できたのも良かったです（別途30ドルかかりましたが購入しました）またハワイを訪れた際には是非ここでお願いしたいです。

Lots of fun and relaxation on a short 1.5 hour afternoon cruise.

Saw hummingbird fish and turtles. Got splashed by the waves and enjoyed our time out on the water

Seeing Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from the sky over the ocean is amazing. The last jabon was only a little wet. You might feel a bit seasick.

海の上で空から見るダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキビーチは最高です。最後のジャボンも少し濡れる程度でした。ちょっと船酔いはするかも。

I went kayaking. It's hot, really hot. I need to take precautions against sunburn. But since I'm in Hawaii, I feel like that's okay.

カヤックした。暑いとにかく暑い。日焼けするので対策を万全にしないと。だけどハワイに来たんだからそれもいいじゃないと思わせてくれます。

Easy kayaking. The hike is easy but take your time not to fall. Our guide was helpful at crossing all more challenging obatacles. Beautiful falls and swimming area. Nice lunch.

The weather had been nice, so I was looking forward to it, but the water clarity wasn't very high. Okinawa and Guam are much prettier. I did encounter a sea turtle, but due to the low water clarity, I couldn't see it very clearly. There were some fish, but it didn't feel like there were many.

天気も良い日が続いていたので期待していきましたが、あまり透明度が高くなかったです。沖縄やグアムの方が綺麗。
ウミガメにも出会えましたが、海の透明度が低いので、あまりクリアには見えませんでした。
お魚さんもいるにはいましたが、たくさんいる感じではなかったです。

It was my first experience, so I chose the lowest option at 90m. I was worried that my 9-year-old son would be scared, but he was totally fine and enjoyed it. Next time, I want to challenge myself to 150m. Since I took motion sickness medication, I didn't get seasick, and it became a great memory.

初めての体験だったので、一番低い90mにしました。
9歳の息子が怖がるかと心配しましたが、全然大丈夫で、楽しんでいました。
次回は150mにチャレンジしたいです。
酔い止めを飲んでいたので船酔いもなく、良い思い出になりました。

This was one of the best activities I tried in Hawai’i.

The crew were friendly, helpful and always made time for you.
The trip out was fun too.

The Underwater Scooter was easy to navigate and the crew always helped if needed.
The video of the trip was worthwhile purchasing, as there is good clear footage.

The crew gave you bread to feed the fish from the boat and kept you entertained if you choose to not snorkel while waiting for the other people to take their turn on the Underwater Scooter

Highly recommended!

My husband and I and our two kids did the kayak tour and it was a lot of fun. It was a workout but the tour guides were very helpful and friendly. My kids are 15 and 9 and they both handled it well. We would recommend and probably do it again.

Friendly staff and a great experience! Would definitely go back!!

It was my son's and my first kayaking experience together. The instruction was thorough, and we had a lot of fun. It required more physical strength than I expected, and I gradually fell behind on the way back, but the sense of achievement when we reached the shore was wonderful. It became a great memory. Thank you very much!☆

息子と2人で初めてのカヤック体験でした。
丁寧に教えて頂き、楽しかったです。
思ったより体力必須で、帰りはだんだん追いつけなくなりましたが、岸に着いたときの達成感がまた良かったです。良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうこざいました☆

I participated in parasailing at a height of 150 meters with my daughter. The staff who provided transportation to the hotel were very kind, which made us feel at ease. On the boat, the crew took many photos for us, and we enjoyed a wonderful time taking in the views of Waikiki from 150 meters high. I thought it might be a bit scary with the wind, but my daughter seemed to enjoy it more that way. The photos taken at the end are available on an SD card, but if you pay by card, it costs $35, which is $5 more than paying in cash. When I come to Hawaii again, I would like to participate once more.

高さ150mのパラセイリングを、娘と二人で参加しました。ホテルまでの送迎ではスタッフの方がとても親切な方で安心し、またボートではクルーの方がたくさん写真を撮って下さったですし、150mの高さから眺めたワイキキの景色を堪能したりと楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
少し風があり怖いかな？と思いましたが、娘はその方が楽しかったようです。最後に撮って下さった写真はSDカードでいただけますが、カード支払いだとcashより5ドル高く35ドルでした。
ハワイに来た時は、また参加したいと思います。

This is our 2nd time on the surf bus. Cousin Kevin was great! He catered to all families. Gave us great info on what to look at and eat. I like this tour because I can relax and enjoy rather than driving and having to find parking, buy tickets, and do all the work that I usually have to do!

Overall I had fun. The trip is basically kayak for 2 miles, hike for 1 mile, visit a 100' water fall, and then hike back for 1 mile and then kayak for 2 miles. Since I like physical activity, this trip worked well for me.

Kayaking requires some physical work, and since there are 2 people per kayak, at last one should be in good physical shape.

Hiking was through lots of mud. You will cross streams, ankle deep mud, and will get dirty. Best to wear sandals since sneakers will be ruined. My youngest son loved this part (getting dirty is always fun).

Waikiki Dive Center is a small dive shop that works with both beginners and experienced divers. The boat is small (no bathroom). We had 7 divers on the boat, including instructors. Water is provided, but you must bring your own food.

Since this was my sixth time diving (not certified), they did a quick review of skills with me, but I did not need much instruction. My dive instructor pointed out some interesting sea creatures including a small octopus (too fast for me to get a picture). Lots or turtles at this dive site.

Only down side was the second dive was at the same site, but we did explore more on the 2nd dive.

I am considering going back there to get certified.

The scooter experience was great. Very unique. If you tend to seasickness go with the first group. Luckily, I did or I don’t think I could have done it. The area where we scootered is rough, and quite a few people got sick. I had hoped to snorkel and swim afterwards, but was too sick. My companions were just fine.
Saw several turtles and different kinds of fish. Also, morning trips are supposed to be calmer than afternoon.
