All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

First of all, surfing was fun. However, there was a lack of confirmation. I interpreted "meeting at the location" to mean gathering at the office, as it mentioned to meet at the office. So, I was surprised when they said, "Okay, come here!" after finishing the payment and fitting the rental gear. I thought they would take us from the surf shop to the ocean. In the end, my mother came to pick me up with a rental car, but I accidentally got a parking ticket where I parked. There was a free parking lot right nearby, but I wasn't informed about that. It was disappointing, especially since I enjoyed surfing.

まずはサーフィンは楽しかったです。が、確認不足がありました。
現地集合の意味です。
まずオフィスに集合とありますので、オフィスが現地集合の場所と解釈しておりました。
なので、支払いが終わりレンタル品のサイズ合わせが終わり、じゃあここにきてね！と言われた時にはびっくりしました。
サーフショップから海へは連れて行ってもらえると思っていましたから。
結局、母にレンタカーで迎えにきてもらい送迎してもらいましたが、うっかり停めた場所で駐車違反をとられました。
すぐそばに無料の駐車場もあったのに、そういう事は教えてもらえなかったです。
サーフィンは楽しかっただけに残念でした。

Staff was very helpful and friendly. Also let us snorkel while we waited. A++

The driver didn't speak much Japanese, but he was a very fun person. The atmosphere in the car was enjoyable.
Once on the boat, they take photos while you're parasailing for $30, but you can choose whether to buy them or not. It seems they took more photos than I expected, which turned into wonderful memories. (It seems to vary by person.) But all the photos were lovely.
Motion sickness is unavoidable, so if you're worried about it, it's better to take precautions.

運転手さんは日本語は基本はお話できませんが、とても楽しい方でした。車内は楽しい雰囲気でした。
船に乗るとパラセーリング中も、写真撮ってくれます30$ですが、買う買わないは選択可能。
思っていたより大量に撮ってもらったみたいで楽しい思い出になりました。(人によって違うみたいですね)でもどれも素敵な写真ばかりです。
船酔いは仕方ないので、心配な方は対策した方がいいですね。

The captain and the guy on the boat were very nice, the parasailing was great! I was scared little bit first while, but then it was outstanding! Great view, just like swinging in the sky. If you are easy to get motion sickness, you should take pills thought. There was a poor girl puking.

I stayed at a small hotel, and they came to pick us up properly. The guide was surprised, saying, "It's rare to see Japanese people staying here!" as it seems that Japanese often stay at famous hotels.

We headed to Hanauma Bay in a larger vehicle that could accommodate about eight people. We participated in the afternoon session, and although the parking lot seemed full, thanks to the guide's connections, we were able to enter.

At Hanauma Bay, watching a video before snorkeling is mandatory, and we were guided by our guide to watch the video. After that, we took a shuttle down to the beach.

At the beach, they managed our belongings and valuables by providing security boxes. They also lent us mats and allowed time for changing.

We put on life jackets and got ready for snorkeling.

It seemed to be high tide, and there were waves that made it difficult to move at times, but the guide was always with us, so we could snorkel without getting lost in the sea. We were able to see fish. The guide took us to a spot where we might see turtles, but we ended up feeling seasick from the waves and had to return early. The guide was considerate of our condition, and those who felt okay were taken to other spots with another guide, so I would like to try again!

They also took photos, which made me very satisfied, but it was unfortunate that I got seasick.

However, since they were attentive to our well-being and adjusted to the participants' pace, I highly recommend this tour! I strongly suggest that those who are not confident in their physical condition bring motion sickness medication.

小さなホテルに宿泊していましたが、きちんと迎えに来てくださいました。「日本の方が泊まっているなんて珍しいと思います！」と、日本人は有名ホテルに泊まっていることが多いそうで、驚かれました。

ハナウマ湾までは８人ほど乗れる大きめの車で向かいます。
私たちは午後の部に参加したのですが、駐車場が満車のようでしたが、ガイドさんの顔パスにより私たちは入場することができました。

ハナウマ湾ではシュノーケリング前にビデオ鑑賞が必須となっており、私たちもガイドさんに案内されビデオを鑑賞しました。
そのあとはシャトルで浜のほうに降ります。

浜では荷物や貴重品をセキュリティーボックスに入れてくださるなど、きちんと管理してくれます。
ゴザもかしてくれたり、着替えの時間も設けてくださいました。

救命用具もつけていざシュノーケリング。

満潮時のようで、波がありうまく進むことができないときもありましたが、常にガイドさんがついてくださり、海のなかで迷うことなくシュノーケルすることができました。
魚もみることができました。
亀がいそうなスポットのほうまで案内してくれましたが、私たちは波で酔ってしまい、途中で帰ることになりました。
体調を気遣ってくださり、大丈夫な方たちはもう一人のガイドさんとほかのスポットまで連れていってもらっていたので、またリベンジしたいと思います！

写真も撮ってくれて大満足でしたが、酔ってしまったので残念でした。

ただ、体調を気遣ってくれたり、参加者のペースに合わせてくれるので、とてもおすすめのツアーです！
体調に自信のない方は酔い止めなどを持参することを強くおすすめします。

It was a bit drizzly during the parasailing, but it was amazing to be able to take photos with the rainbow in the background. Most importantly, when I turned around at the top, I saw a circular rainbow. It was my first experience, so it became a great memory. I was a bit anxious about the explanations being mostly in English, except for the important parts, but I was very grateful for the quick response when my friend got seasick. Thank you. However, I was a little worried when the pickup was about 20 minutes late.

ちょっと小雨が降る中のﾊﾟﾗｾｲﾘﾝｸﾞだったので、ﾀﾌﾞﾙの虹をﾊﾞｯｸに写真を撮ることが出来て最高でした。何より一番上に着いたときに後ろを振り返ると円形の虹を見ることがでしました。初めての経験だったので、良い思い出になりました。説明が大事なこと以外は全部英語の説明で不安になることもありましたが、船酔いした友達に気づいて素早く対応していただいたことにはとても助かりました。ありがとうございます。ただ、集合時間20分位過ぎてからのお迎えでちょっと不安にさせられました。

I'm afraid of heights, but I chose the highest option at 150m with two friends, and it turned out to be really great! As we kept going higher, it was a bit scary, but the view was so beautiful that the fear faded away.

In front of us, there was a group of three overseas ladies who seemed to be having a lot of fun regardless of their age, so I think it's an activity that anyone can enjoy.

When you fly, it feels like it's over in no time, and you want to do it again. Haha! Also, if you're prone to motion sickness, having some anti-nausea medication might give you peace of mind. Even if you get sick, you can throw up in the sea, but after flying, the captain gives you a little wash in the sea before landing. Haha!

Definitely give it a try!

高所恐怖症の私ですが友達と3人で1番高い150mを選択しましたが結果的にとてもよかったです♫
どんどん上がっていき少し怖いですが怖いよりも
景色がほんとに綺麗で恐怖が薄れます。
私達の前に海外のご婦人が同じ3人で参加されてましたが年齢問わずとても楽しそうにされてたの誰でも楽しめるアクティビティだと思います。
飛んでみるとあっという間でまたもう一回したくなります。笑
あと酔いやすい人は酔いどめ薬があると安心かも。
酔っても海で吐けますが飛んだあと船長から着地前に海で少しウォッシャブル洗礼を受けます。笑
ぜひ参加してみて下さい♫

We participated in parasailing for the first time as a family! It was much higher than I expected, and I was so excited. The height and the view were amazing, something you can't experience every day. I want to do it again, even if it's not in Hawaii!

初めて親子でパラセーリングに参加しました！
思っていたより高くて大興奮でした。
普段体験出来ない高さと眺め最高でした。
またハワイじゃなくても参加したいです！

I chose a height of 90 meters, and we ascended quite high. From above the sea, you can see Waikiki, including Diamond Head.

I brought my action camera, so I didn't request any photos, but if you do, they will take pictures on the boat for $15. It might have been good that I took motion sickness medication beforehand.

I had a lot of fun.

90mの高さを選びましたが、かなり高くまで上昇しました。
ダイアモンドヘッドを含むワイキキを海の上から眺められます。

アクションカメラを持参していたので、写真撮影は依頼しませんでしたが、依頼すると船上で15ドルで撮影もしてくれます。
事前に酔い止めを飲んでおいたので良かったのかもしれません。

とても楽しかったです。

We had a great time as a family of five. Our youngest son, who is five years old, also enjoyed it. The captain and the staff were kind, and the photos turned out beautifully.

家族5人で楽しみました。
1番若い5才の息子も楽しめました。
船長もサポートの方も親切ですし、写真も綺麗に撮れてました。

We participated as a three-generation family (ages 77 to 11).

Paddling with an oar required more strength than I expected, and my delicate 11-year-old daughter couldn't hold the oar and was a bit sulky. Initially, while I thought we wouldn't capsize, I couldn't say I was completely unconcerned about paddling out into the open water. However, once we started paddling, those thoughts vanished, and I enjoyed the beautiful scenery immensely.

When we caught a wave, it felt exhilarating! I was also moved by the colors of the waves from the side, which I usually don't get to see. I think I will never forget those waves.

My 77-year-old parent seemed to enjoy it very much and praised it highly! We were able to purchase photos and videos, making it a truly priceless experience.

三世代（７７歳～１１歳）で参加しました。
オールで漕ぐのは思っていたよりは力が要り、華奢な１１歳娘はオールを持てず少々ふてくされていましたが。
当初、転覆しないとは思いながらも沖へ漕いで行くのに全く心配なかったとは言えなかったのですが、漕ぎだすとそんな思いはすっ飛んで、とても楽しく景色のきれさにうっとりしながら楽しめました。
波に乗ったときは気分は爽快！！しかも普段は見れない　横からの波の色　に感動しました。　あの波は一生忘れないと思います。
７７歳の親もとても楽しめたようで大絶賛でした！！
写真も動画も購入でき、まさにプライスレスな体験でした。

The staff said that almost 100 percent of people can stand up. I personally surf a little in Japan, but I use a board that is quite thick and large, making it very difficult to carry by myself, so it definitely provides more stability. For beginners, being able to stand up doubles the fun!

お店の方はほぼ100パーセント立てますと言ってました。
私自身日本で少しばかりサーフィンしてますが板もひとりではとても運べない程かなり分厚く大きいものを使うので確かに安定しやすいです。
初心者の人は立てると楽しさ倍増ですもんね！

It was my first time parasailing, and it was fun. The view of Hawaii was wonderful. The meeting place was easy to find, and the service was good. It was great that my small child could join as well. I also appreciated receiving the photos we took at the end on an SD card. I think the two staff members who took us were very accommodating. We had children ranging from fifth grade to high school seniors, and adults in their 40s. Everyone enjoyed themselves in their own way. Thank you!

初めてのパラセーリングでしたが、楽しかった。
ハワイが一望できて気持ちよかった
待ち合わせ場所もすぐわかり
対応もよかった。
小さな子供も一緒に乗れてよかった
最後にとった写真をSDカードでもらえたのもとても良かった。
連れていってくれた2人のスタッフも
いい対応をしてくれたと思う
小学5年生から高校3年生までの子供と
大人は40代。みんなそれぞれで
楽しめた
ありがとうございます

I made a reservation before my trip because I really wanted to ride this catamaran that I saw in Waikiki before. The cruising experience was just as pleasant as I expected, but I was a bit disappointed that there was no sailing.

However, the wind, sea, and sun made it absolutely wonderful.

以前ワイキキで見た、このカタマラン、今回は是非乗って見たいと出発前から予約しました。
予想通り気持ちのいいクルージングでしたが、一点、セイリングが無かったのが残念でした。

でも、風と海と太陽と、気持ち良さは最高。

There were four pairs participating in a small boat (I was in the first group). I took motion sickness medication, but I still felt a bit seasick. Of course, the scenery was outstanding, and we went higher than I expected, but since we were on the sea, it wasn't too scary (looking down was a bit frightening). There were a few times when the wind picked up, providing a thrill that made me shout. The crew spoke a little Japanese (just a few words), but they were cheerful and friendly.

小さな船でペア4組参加でした。（一番手で体験）
酔い止め飲んでいったけど少し船酔いした。
当然景色は抜群、思ったより高いところまで上がったけど、
海上なのでそれほど恐怖はなし。（下を見るとさすがに少し怖い）
数回風にあおられ、声が出るぐらいのスリルはありました。
クルーは片言の日本語（単語程度）でしたが、陽気に盛り上げてくれましたし、親切でした。

The wind was strong, and I felt more fear than I expected, but it was a wonderful experience! It was the ultimate activity that provided a sense of relief when I came down, experiencing a fear that I don't usually encounter!

風が強く思ってたより恐怖心が強く、素晴らしい経験ができました！
普段味わえない怖さに、降りてきたときの良かったという安心感の究極のアクティビティでした！

Before entering the water, we gathered as a group of Japanese people to watch a video. Since it was just watching, I wondered if I could really do it, which made me quite anxious. I thought a Japanese guide would be on our boat, but instead, we were on a different boat with only local people, and since we couldn't communicate, it added to my unease.

I had assumed my face wouldn't get wet, so I wore makeup, but I ended up getting soaked while entering and exiting the water. We were divided into groups and it felt like a conveyor belt as we kept going into the sea. For those who are scared, being pushed underwater without any mental preparation can be frightening.

It was unfortunate that the weather was bad and cold. While other groups were doing their activities, we were told we could snorkel freely, but there was no one to follow us (there might have been someone, but we couldn't communicate!). There was one person snorkeling alone, but there were no staff watching over us. Given the high cost, it was disappointing to think that the snorkeling fee was included for just a 10-minute Sea Bob experience with no one to supervise.

However, the underwater scenery was beautiful!

入水前に日本人だけで集められビデオを観ます。観るだけなので、本当に出来るかな？？と、なかなか不安を煽られます。
日本人ガイドさんも船に乗ってくれると思っていましたが、違う船に乗られ、現地の方だけしかおらず言葉も通じないので不安でした。
顔は濡れないと思っていたので化粧をしていったのですが出入りでがっつり濡れます。
グループ分けをされ流れ作業のように、どんどん海に入っていく形でした。心の準備をする前に海にもぐらされるので怖い人は怖いと思います。
あいにくの天気で寒かったのが残念です。
また他のグループが行なっている間、シュノーケルは自由にしていいとのことでしたが、誰もがフォローしてくれる人がおらず(いたのかもしれないけど言葉が通じない！)出来ませんでした。
１人シュノーケルをしてる人はいましたが、誰もスタッフで見ている人はいませんでした。
高い金額なだけに、10分のシーボブ体験のみに、誰もみてくれないシュノーケル代も込みかぁ…と残念です。
海の中は綺麗でした！

A beautiful 3 mile kayak with an amazing snorkeling experience! My advice- wear sunscreen even if it doesn’t feel like it’s sunny...Ouch! Lesson learned. For the dare devil jump off a 30 ft cliff into the gorgeous blue waters. For the pansies jump off a 3 ft mini cliff!! Lol. Wonderful personalized experience. Would highly recommend! Brian was a lot of fun!

It was cloudy and a bit cold in the morning, but... I was really happy to meet the sea turtles, which I thought I wouldn't be able to see today. The kids were also very happy, and we got to see a lot of other fish as well, which was amazing. I want to try it again on a sunny day next time! (^o^)／

朝から曇っていて少し寒かったけど｡｡｡｡今日は見れないだろうと思っていたウミガメにも会えとても楽しかった
子供達もとても喜んでいました他の魚もたくさん見れて最高でした
今度は晴れた日にもう一度やってみたいと思いました(^o^)／

Waikiki was in the rainy season, and on that day, it was pouring rain on and off. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, but my parents (in their 60s) and my 10-year-old child really enjoyed snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. The water temperature was low and a bit chilly, so we rented suits for $10 on the day. The guide, who also provided transportation, was very kind, and the three of us, being first-time snorkelers, were very pleased with the attentive service. I definitely recommend going with a guide!

I stayed at Hilton Hawaiian Village and mistakenly misunderstood the meeting place until the day of the event, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. I was unsure of what to do, so I was grateful to receive a call on the day. I would like to try again when I travel next time, hopefully in clear weather!

ワイキキは雨季か伸びており、当日も土砂降りの雨が降ったり止んだり・・生憎のお天気でしたが、両親（60代）と10歳の子供はハナウマ湾でのシュノーケルをとても楽しめたようです(^^) 水温が低く肌寒かったので、当日10ドルでスーツをお借りして潜りました。送迎兼インストラクターの方がとても親切だったようで、シュノーケル初の3人は丁寧な対応にとても喜んでいました。皆さんにも是非ガイド付きをおススメします‼︎ 当方、ヒルトンHVに宿泊し当日まで集合場所を勘違いしており、大変ご迷惑をお掛けし申し訳ありませんでした。どうしていいかわからなかったので、当日連絡を頂けて助かりました。また渡航の際、快晴の時に再チャレンジしたいと思います‼︎

Thank you for your support last year.
Even as a first-timer, I was able to challenge myself according to my individual needs, and it was really great.
You took me quite far, but I am satisfied. I look forward to working with you again.
Once I gain more confidence, I am thinking of borrowing a board.

昨年もお世話になりました。
初めてでも個々に合わせてチャレンジさせて頂き、すっごく良かったです。
かなり遠くまで連れて行って頂きましたが満足です。また、よろしくお願いします。
自信がついたら、ボードをおかりしようかとおもっています。

February 2018
Since it wasn't a hot season, it was a bit cold.
It was our first time parasailing as a couple in our forties, but we had a lot of fun.
We would like to participate again.

2018年2月
時期的に暑くない時期でしたので、若干寒かったです。
アラフォー夫婦でパレセイリングは初めてでしたが
非常に楽しめました。
また参加してみたいです

The trip starts early so you can be the first on the water and the first to snorkel before the crowds show up. The paddle over to the Cook Monument was easy. We stopped for a history and a geology lesson which were interesting. Once the Kayaks were landed we walked to the Monument where we donned our snorkel gear and jumped into the water. Everywhere on the Big Island is difficult to enter the water. This was just an easy jump.

The fish were a wide variety with lots of groups of yellow butterfly fish. They come here for the waters which are a mix of fresh from the lad and salt water. The blurry effect of the waters mixing is fun. This place lets the fish clean themselves of irritants. The coral was fine but some was quite damaged.

The park only allows a limited number of snorkelers at this location. They should dial the numbers back as it became crowded quickly when five boats showed up about fifteen minutes after our snorkel started.

The paddle back was easy and it was still morning.

This was awesome. Glad I did it. Nearly all the people on my boat were vomiting from motion sickness, even the girl that flew tandem with me as we were in the air. There is a lot of to-ing and fro-ing as each duo has their turn parasailing. You get about 10mins up there but you're on the boat for an hr while everyone else has their turn. I loved it

We participated as a family. It was our first time surfing, and I was nervous at first, but the staff were very funny and kind, so I was able to ride the first wave right away. I rode more than 15 waves and was very satisfied. Thanks to this experience, I have come to love surfing and definitely want to participate again. The shuttle service to the hotel was also great. Thank you very much.

家族で参加しました。
初めてのサーフィンで最初は緊張していましたが、スタッフの方がとても面白くて親切に教えてくれたので最初の波からすぐ乗れました。
15回以上波に乗れて、大満足です。
おかげでサーフィンが好きになり、ぜひまた参加したいなと思っています。
ホテルまで送迎付きも良かったです。
ありがとうございました。

We participated as a family of four across three generations. The view of Diamond Head and the hotels in Waikiki from 150 meters high was amazing. The crew doesn't speak Japanese, but there is a Japanese audio announcement. We flew with our cameras and captured the scenery from the sky. There was another couple with us, making a total of six people for three flights, but even while waiting, the cheerful crew kept the atmosphere lively, making it a fun hour. I requested photos, and they took pictures for two flights for $30.

3世代家族4人で参加しました。高さ150mからのダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキのホテル群の眺めは最高でした。クルー達は日本語NGですが日本語の録音アナウンスが流されます。カメラを持ってフライトし空からの景色も撮影してきました。私達以外にもう一カップルの6人で3回のフライトでしたが、待ってる間も陽気なクルーが終始盛り上げてくれて楽しい1時間でした。写真を頼みましたが家族2フライト分撮影してくれて30ドルでした。

I was late for the meeting time, but I was able to experience it safely. It was refreshing when I paddled and caught a wave.

I had a great time with a pleasant experience in a short amount of time.

However, I didn't know how to request photos, so I have no memories left.

集合時間に遅れてしまいましたが、無事に体験することができました。
漕いで漕いで波に乗れたときは爽快です。

短い時間で気持ち良い体験が出来て楽しかったです。

ただ、写真をどうやって頼めばよいかわからず思い出が残りませんでした。

I participated with a friend in November. It was both of our first time kayaking, but the guide taught us patiently, and we had a very enjoyable time. The guide was always attentive and provided appropriate support immediately, so we could relax and enjoy kayaking in the beautiful sea, which was the best! During the kayaking, the guide took photos with a camera they brought along and sent them to us later. We received many wonderful photos that became great memories. I hope to participate in this activity again on the Big Island someday!

11月に友達と2人で参加させていただきました。カヤックは2人とも初めてだったのですが、ガイドさんに丁寧に教えていただき、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。ガイドさんは常に気にかけてくれる&適切なサポートをすぐにしてくれるので、安心して綺麗な海と共にカヤックを楽しむことができ最高でした！！カヤック中、ガイドさんが持参されたカメラで写真も随時撮ってくれて後で送ってくれます。素敵な思い出となる写真を沢山いただきました。いつかハワイ島でまたこのアクティビティに参加したいと思っています！！

There were almost no lessons on the beach, and we went straight into the ocean, but the kids have an incredible sense for it; they never fell off the surfboard and rode the waves skillfully over and over again.

It was the best surfing experience, and I want them to try it again in Hawaii!

I believe it’s worth more than the price!

ビーチでのレッスンはほぼ無く、いきなり海に出ましたが、子供の感覚は凄いもので、一度もサーフボードから落ちることもなく、何度も何度も上手に波乗りしてました。
次のハワイでも体験させたいと思う最高のサーフィンでした！

値段以上の価値はあると思います！

Three adults took a semi-private lesson, and a child (9 years old) took a private lesson. We brought vouchers for both the private and semi-private lessons, but it seemed like only the semi-private lesson was not reserved, so we ended up receiving a lesson on short notice.

All of us were beginners, but somehow we managed to ride the waves, and it felt amazing! I think for travelers, surfing at Waikiki Beach is the best option without having to go all the way to the North Shore. I’ll definitely do it again on my next trip to Hawaii!

For someone like me who doesn’t usually exercise, I’m sure I’ll be suffering from muscle soreness below my ribs.

Aside from the reservation issue, it was a very satisfying surfing experience. Highly recommended!

大人３人がセミプライベートレッスン、子供(9歳)がプライベートレッスンを受けました。
プライベートレッスンもセミプライベートレッスンもそれぞれバウチャーを持って行ったのですが、セミプライベートレッスンだけが予約されてない感じで、急遽対応してもらった感じでレッスンを受けました。

全員初心者だったのですが、なんだかんだ波乗りが出来てとても気持ちよかったです！ノースショアまで行かずとも、旅行客にはワイキキビーチで手軽にサーフィンがベストかと思います。次のハワイでもまたやります！

私みたいに普段運動をしてない人は、あばら下の筋肉痛で苦しむこと必死ですよ。

予約の不備を除けばとても満足できるサーフィン体験でした。
絶対オススメ！
