All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I was a bit anxious because the pickup didn't arrive on time. The parasailing staff spoke Japanese, and the views were amazing; it was so much fun overall. They took a lot of photos, which became great memories. In the end, we splashed into the sea, but it was so well done that there was nothing but enjoyment! I'm planning to go to Hawaii again, and I want to experience this once more!

時間通りにお迎えが来なかったので、ヒヤヒヤしました。パラセールのスタッフは日本語を話してくれるし、景色は最高でとにかく楽しかったです。写真もたくさん撮影してくれていて、いい思い出になりました。最後、海にポチャンしますが、丁寧なので楽しさしかありませんでした！またハワイに行く予定ですが、もう一度体験したいです！

We all loved the time spent with Hawaii Parasail, was such an awesome addition to our time here in Oahu! Thank you all so very much!!!

From the pick-up to the experience, everything including the talks was enjoyable. It was the best! I work in customer service, and I really learned a lot. It was amazing!

送迎から体験までトークなどすべてを含め楽しませてくれ最高でした僕は接客業ですが本当に勉強させられました最高でした‼

I tend to get motion sickness easily, so I took some anti-nausea medication beforehand. Even so, I felt quite nauseous while waiting. However, once I went underwater, the nausea disappeared, and it was fun to see the fish swimming around. It was a cloudy day, and I thought the water would be cold, but surprisingly it wasn't, and the sea was beautifully blue. While waiting, we were also allowed to feed the fish from the boat, which helped ease my nausea during that time. I was a bit worried because the instructions on how to operate the equipment and equalize my ears were given in English and gestures, but it turned out fine! I wish there was a place and time to change before heading back, even if just for 10 minutes.

乗り物酔いしやすいほうなので酔い止めも事前に飲んで参加。
それでも待機中にかなり酔いました。
しかし海に潜ると酔いもどこへやら、魚がわさわさ寄ってきて楽しかったです。
曇りの日で海中は寒いかと思いましたが、意外とそんなこともなく、海も青くてきれいでした。
待機中は船から餌やりもさせてもらえ、その間は酔いが楽でした。
機械の動かし方や耳抜きの仕方が英語＆身振りだったので大丈夫か！？と不安になりましたが大丈夫でした笑。
帰る前に10分でいいので着替える場所と時間があるといいな～と思います。

My spouse and I participated in a snorkeling tour. Our instructor, Chieko, provided explanations about Hawaii during the ride, which really got us excited. When we arrived at Hanauma Bay, the waves were calm and the weather was perfect, allowing us to swim close to sea turtles! I highly recommend this snorkeling experience. However, even though I took motion sickness medication, I still felt a bit seasick, so if you're prone to motion sickness, please be careful.

Thanks to our instructor Chieko, I feel like I'm falling in love with the charm of Hawaii.

夫婦2人でシュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。
インストラクターのチエコさんが、送迎の車内からハワイの説明をして
頂き、気分が盛り上がった所でハナウマ湾に到着。
参加した日は波も穏やかでお天気にも恵まれ、ウミガメの近くで一緒に
泳ぐ事ができました！こちらのシュノーケル、おすすめです。
ただ、酔い止めを飲んでいたにも関わらず、波酔いしてしまったので、
酔いやすい方は、気を付けて下さい。

インストラクターのチエコさんのおかげで、ハワイの魅力にはまりそうです。

I had a great time.
It became a wonderful memory.
I bought some photos.
Buying with cash is cheaper than using a card.
Since I also gave a tip, I recommend participating with cash.

とても楽しかったです
素敵な思い出になりました。
写真買いました。
現金で買う方がカードより安いです
チップも渡したので、現金をもって参加されることをおすすめします。

The weather was bad, but I enjoyed it.

It was difficult to carry the kayak to the coast. I think it's impossible for two women without assistance. I understand the reason for needing to carry it individually due to the location, but I forgot whether that was mentioned in the tour details. A tip of 15%-20% of the tour fee is requested during the final survey of the tour. It would be nice if the price included the tip, even though it becomes quite expensive. I was glad to receive the photos later via email, but there were no comments or anything, which felt a bit cold. I wondered if it was because the tip was small.

天気が悪かったですが楽しめました。

カヤックを海岸まで運ぶのは大変です。
女性2人の場合は手伝ってもらわないと無理だと思う。
立地環境の問題で個人で運ばないとダメな理由はわかりますが、
ツアー詳細にその旨を記載していたかは忘れてました。
チップはツアー代の15％-20％を
ツアー最後のアンケートの際に要求されます。
高額になりますがチップ込みの料金にしてもらうと嬉しいです。
写真は後でメールしていだだいて良かったですが
その際にコメントなどはなく、そっけないものでした。
チップが少なかったからかとも思いました。

The boat staff was absolutely fantastic! They spoke primarily in English and had a fun vibe, but their tone was easy to understand. The highlight was definitely the parasailing. It was incredibly beautiful and felt amazing. There were even a few little surprises... Above all, I was happy that my wife enjoyed it. There was an elderly mother in our group, and she had a great time. My daughter was a bit nervous at first, but it seems she enjoyed it. The newlyweds also looked like they were having a lot of fun.

ボートのスタッフがまず最高！英語主体でノリがいいけど、でも解かりやすい感じの口調で喋ってくれる。又、一番は、パラセイル。すごく綺麗で、気持ち良かった。ちょっとしたサプライズもあったり･･･。何より、妻が喜んでくれたのが嬉しかった。同行の中に年配のお母さんがいたけど、楽しんでいた。娘は、初めてちょっとビビってた。でも、楽しかったみたいだ。新婚さんも楽しそうだった。

I was unsure whether to choose the 90m or 120m roller coaster since I'm not great with heights, but I went with the 120m option. Surprisingly, because the sea was below, I didn't feel that high up and had a lot of fun. When we dropped close to the water, my feet touched it, but other than that, I didn't get wet at all.

I had a hard time communicating in Japanese; the receptionist could only speak a little. Also, I wasn't sure about the tipping amount or when to give it, so we ended up giving $10 for the two of us when we disembarked.

ジェットコースターがまるでダメな私なので90mにするか120mにするかで迷いましたが120mにしました。そんな私でも下が海だからなのか、そんなに高さも感じず、とても楽しめました。
海すれすれまで高度が下がった時は足がつきましたが、それ以外は全く濡れませんでした。
日本語は殆ど通じませんでした。受付のお姉さんが少し話せる程度でした。
あと、チップの金額と渡すタイミングがわからなかったので下船事に2人で10ドル渡してきました。

The shuttle arrived on time, and although the staff were not Japanese, they explained things in broken Japanese, which was fine!
It was refreshing to head out to sea by boat.
We flew with three people, and although I thought it might be scary because it was higher than I imagined, it was quiet up there with hardly any turbulence, allowing us to enjoy the scenery. My 7-year-old daughter was also excited!
We were able to take photos ourselves and took many pictures.
It was a great experience!

時間通りに送迎車が来ましたし、スタッフは日本人ではありませんが、カタコトながらに日本語でも説明してくれて問題なし！
ボートで沖に向かうのも爽快でした♪
3人で飛びましたが、想像よりも高くて怖いかなと思いきや、上空は静かでほとんど揺れもなく、景色を楽しめました★７歳の娘も興奮でした♪
自分たちで撮影もでき、沢山写真撮りました。
とても良い体験ができました！

Due to the flooding on Kauai we couldn't do the full tour. The tour company called and asked if we wanted to still do just the kayak tour for a lower price, which we did. T our guide was great and we made the best of the modified tour.

The event was held even in light rain. The April rain was a bit chilly. I experienced the 120m, and it felt great. If it had been sunny, it might have been an even more spectacular view! Maybe I should have gone for the 150m!

小雨でも開催。4月の雨はちょっと寒かったです。120mを体験しました。気持ちよかった。晴れていたら、さらに絶景だったのかな♡150mにしてもよかったかも！

We participated as a couple in our 50s along with our son. Besides us, there were a family of three and two honeymoon couples. Since it was mentioned in the comments, we decided to challenge the 150m! It was incredibly fun and felt great. We had a wonderful experience. The shuttle car was clean, and our driver, Mr. Yano, was cheerful and entertaining. The boat was also clean, and the crew was lively and made it a fantastic time. Our son and his partner even got playfully splashed, which became a great memory of the trip. We definitely want to participate again! ^ ^

50代夫婦&息子カップルで参加しました。私たちの他には3人連れの親子さん、ハネムーンカップル2組が一緒でした。コメにもあったので、折角なので150mに挑戦！最高に楽しかったです。そして気持ちよかった。良い体験をしました。送迎の車も綺麗で運転手の『やのさん』明るく楽しませてくれました。ボートも綺麗でクルーも明るく盛り上げて下さりステキな時間でした。
息子カップルもワザとお尻をドボンされて、これも旅の良い想い出になったようです。
また是非参加したいです^ ^

I felt a bit anxious because I had to wait a few minutes after checking in. However, the person who assisted me was a foreigner, but very kind and even taught me a little Japanese, so I was able to get on the ride right away! I had plenty of fun by myself!

最初受付をしてから何分か待たされたので少し不安になりました。ですが、教えてくれる方は外国の方ですが、とても優しく少し日本語でも教えてくれて一発目で乗れました！一人で十分楽しめました！

We did the snorkeling tour with Chieko and Dan and it was amazing. Their help and information was appreciated. My boyfriend was terrified of sinking and Dan explained it thoroughly which gave him the confidence he needed to do it. We saw sooo many out of this world fish it was like an acquarium, and even a turtle! We had plenty of time to explore the entire bay and you go plenty deep to see some amazing marine life. It was a once in a lifetime experience so thankyou Blue Hawaii Divers!

It was great that the hotel we were staying at was close to the meeting point, so we could go without a shuttle! By the way, it's a hotel within Hilton Hawaiian Village, and it takes less than five minutes to walk there. The instructor spoke broken Japanese, but their friendly personality made it enjoyable! With the early morning plan and discounts available, I think it's quite a good deal since you can make the most of your day.

泊まってるホテルが集合場所に近かったので、送迎なしで行けたのも、良かったです！ちなみにヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ内のホテルですが、歩いても5分もかからないです。インストラクターの人もカタコトの日本語ですが、楽しませようとする人柄も良かったです！早朝プランで、割引きも有り、1日をフルに使えるので、かなりお得かと思います。

My first parasailing experience! The staff were locals and explained everything in English, which made me a bit anxious, but they kindly guided us even though we couldn't speak English, so there were no issues! The time spent in the air was longer than I expected and very comfortable! If you have a GoPro or similar device, I highly recommend bringing it! I only had my phone, so I had to leave it behind, but a Japanese couple who participated with us kindly took some photos of me from below with my phone! I have the stunning views etched in my memory, but I do regret not being able to capture the scenery from above in photos!

初のパラセーリング！
スタッフの方は現地の方で説明は全て英語で少し不安もありましたが、英語が話せない私たちにも優しく誘導してくださり問題なかったです！
空にいる時間は思ったよりも長く非常に快適でした！ゴープロなど持ってる方はぜひ持っていった方が良いです！私は携帯のみしかなかったので携帯は置いていくことになり、たまたま一緒に参加した日本人夫婦の方が私の携帯で下からの写真を少し撮って下さいました！
絶景は目に焼き付けましたが、上からの景色を写真におさめたかったなぁとそこだけ後悔です！

I participated on the first day of my arrival in Hawaii, and the weather was nice and pleasant. The kids were also happy, so I'm glad I joined.

ハワイ到着初日に参加しましたが、天気もよく気持ちよかった。
子供たちも喜んでいたので、参加してよかったです。

Due to abnormal weather, we had to switch to a river experience instead of the ocean. In the morning, we had free time, so I explored the beach by bike. For lunch, I had a rather average pizza that felt very American, and then we headed to the experience. The strong winds made the return quite challenging, but our guide shared various explanations about the surrounding facilities and plants, which helped my 65-year-old mother complete the experience without falling into the water. It's just a shame about the weather. I would like to try the ocean on a sunny day in the future.

異常気象で海が大荒れのため川での体験になりました。
午前中はフリータイムにしてもらったので、自転車でビーチを散策。
お昼は米国っぽい可もなく不可もないピザを食べて、いざ体験へ。
風が強かったので帰りは中々大変でしたが、ガイドさんがいろいろと周辺の施設や植物などの説明など語りかけてもらったので、６５歳の母も水に落ずにしっかり完走することができました。天気だけがとても残念です。
今後は晴れた日に海へトライしてみたいです。

Had a great time. Crew were very friendly and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this experience to anyone. Laughed learned and had a wonderful time with my entire family.

The lesson method is somewhat forceful for beginners. We understand English, but it seems the instructor found it tedious to explain, as they rushed through without much explanation, insisting we learn by doing. I signed up hoping to create wonderful memories with a long-time friend, but since it was at the beach and there was only one instructor, I can't say I felt completely at ease. The session was also shorter than the time stated in the materials. The rash guard felt like just a T-shirt, and it became somewhat heavy when wet. It's strange that there are only positive reviews, perhaps due to the Japanese tendency. While we were able to ride the waves, I have to rate it lower for the peace of mind aspect. We hope for a safe and comfortable trip.

初心者にはやや強引なレッスン方法。
私たちは英語がわかるけどインストラクターの方は説明するのが面倒くさいのか、あまり説明すらなく体で覚えろとばかりにどんどん進んでいきます。今回は長い付き合いの友人と最高の思い出作りにと思い申し込みましたが、海だしインストラクターが一人しかついて居らっしゃらないので安心して出来たかと言えば…。資料に乗っていた時間より短かったですし。
ラッシュガードもただのTシャツ？という感じで水を含むとやや重いです。
日本人の性格なのか、良い口コミしかないのが不思議です。
波には乗れたけど、安心面として評価は低めに設定させて頂きます。
私たちは安心で快適な旅を希望します。

Since I came all the way to Hawaii, I decided to try learning how to surf. The board is big and heavy, which makes it stable, and I was able to stand up after just a few tries. You just go straight, but the beach is shallow, so even when you go out, you can stand up, and while paddling, the board's fins and your hands can touch the coral reef. So, you need to be careful of injuries when you fall. They lend you surf shoes at the school, but be cautious about everything else. However, this year in Hawaii is cold, and the water is chilly—hypothermia? After about an hour in the water, I started to shiver.

せっかくハワイに来るのだから、サーフィンを覚えようと行ってみました。
でかくて重いボードなので、安定していて数回で立てるようになります。まっすぐ進むだけですけど、現場のビーチは遠浅で沖に出ても、立てますしパドリング中ボードのフィンや手が珊瑚礁に触れます。ですのでひっくりかえったときは怪我に注意が必要です。足はサーフシューズをスクールで貸してくれますが、その他は気をつけましょう。ただ今年のハワイは寒い、水も冷たい、低体温症？　一時間ほど浸かっていると震えてきました。

We participated as a pair, and there were only two groups of participants, including us, which made it a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The guide and the other guests were foreigners who couldn't speak Japanese, but it was no problem as long as they understood simple English. With fewer people, it felt like we could take our time during the main parasailing activity. It was high and scary, but I felt like we were flying for quite a long time. If I have the chance to go during the off-season, I would love to go again.

2人で参加しましたが、参加者が私たちを含め2組しかおらずのんびり楽しかったです。
ガイドさんももう一組のお客さんも外国人で日本語が喋れない人たちでしたが、簡単な英語がわかれば全然問題ありません。
人が少ない分、メインのパラセイリングものんびり出来ていたような気がします。高くて怖かったけど、結構長時間飛べていた気がします。
オフシーズンにいくことがあれば、また行ってみたいです。

I experienced the 120m. Even as someone with acrophobia, I had no issues being over the ocean. The staff were friendly and kind. I think it's a memorable activity. I recommend it.

120mを体験しました。高所恐怖症の私でも海の上だと問題ありませんでした。スタッフの方々も気さくに親切にしてくれます。記憶に残るアクティビティだと思います。お勧めです

I made a reservation here after checking the weather on a nice day just in case. The weather was good and the waves were calm, which was great. Although they didn't speak Japanese, it wasn't a problem.

あらかじめ、天気の良い日を一応確認してからこちらで予約しました。天気も良く波も穏やかでよかったです。日本語は通じませんが、問題は無かったです。

My first paddleboarding experience, I’m 60 and my wife is trying it for the first time. There was a brief lecture, but experience is what matters most. We had a lesson just for the two of us from a teacher who spoke broken Japanese, and then we headed out to the sea.

It was quite challenging to maintain balance. Even when I finally managed to stand, it was difficult to paddle and move forward. Surprisingly, my wife was able to stand up quite easily. I’m glad we had a kind teacher.

はじめてのパドルボード、私は60.妻は初めてのボード体験。簡単なレクチャーはありましたがとにかく経験が大事。カタコトの日本語の先生から二人だけでレッスンを受けて海へ。
なかなかバランスが難しい。やっとスタンド出来てもパドルで漕いで進むのが難しい。
妻は意外と簡単にスタンドアップ出来ました。
優しい先生で良かった。

The whole experience was fantastic...from the crew who were extremely helpful to the accommodations. Boat was new, not overcrowded. Ride went from the harbor to Diamond head. Saw turtles, fish and even a pod of dolphins. Captain provided good information. Definately recommend.

It was disappointing that the instructor who was in charge seemed to favor my beautiful friend. My friend also noticed this and mentioned that the treatment felt unnatural. Even though it was my first time, for some reason, my friend was leading while I was left stranded in the middle of the ocean, being told to make my way back on my own, which made me anxious several times. ^^ There were also many photos of my friend. Since the service was inconsistent, I’m giving it a lower rating. I do not recommend it.

担当してくださった講師の先生は美人な友人に贔屓めだったのが残念。友人もそれには気付いていたようで対応が不自然だと言っていました。初めてなのになぜか友人だけリードして私だけ海の真ん中に取り残されて自力で来いと言われて不安になった事が何度も^^;写真も友人が多かったです。対応にムラがあるので星は少なめ。お勧めはしません。

I would recommend this adventure our photographer was amazing he got a school of dolphins too.There was an octopus right with my husband and the photographer there and turtles.Lots of beautiful fish.

Although the cloudy weather was disappointing, the staff were delightful and our conversations mixed with Japanese made for a very enjoyable time. Watching others from the boat, I was surprised at how quickly they ascended, but in reality, it was a smooth ascent without feeling any G-forces, which was very pleasant. They kindly took photos with my camera, and I highly recommend this experience. Don't forget to tip!

曇天模様は残念でしたが、スタッフが愉快な人で日本語交じりのおしゃべり、とても楽しいひと時でした。
他の方をボートから見ていると速いスピードで上がっていくのでビックリ、しかし実際はスーと上がっていきＧも感じずとても気持ちよかったです。
持ち込んだカメラで快く写真も撮っていただき、おススメだと思います。くれぐれもチップは忘れずに！
