Hawaii
The should have better explained the process. An example would have been better. Also, they should have been more encouraging to those who were uneasy in the water and refunded part of the cost if someone was unable to participate, especially since the water was very rough and it was raining.
The weather was nice on the day, and it was more fun than I had imagined. There were no scary things like I had worried about. The early morning plan is recommended as it allows you to make the most of your day. Next time, I would like to take commemorative photos from a higher place.
当日は、お天気も良く想像以上に楽しかったです。
心配していたような怖いことはありませんでした。
早朝プランは、1日を有効に使えてオススメです。
次回はもっと高いところから、記念写真をお願いしたいと思います。
I participated in a short course. The early morning sea is calm and feels wonderful. We paddle along the shore without going too far out, enjoying the scenery. After turning back, we stop at the snorkeling point and can enjoy snorkeling for a while.
Of course, the underwater world is a different realm. The guide was fluent in Japanese and very kind. The canoe operation is easy. If couples participate, it might deepen their bond? Well, in the end, it turns out that only the man at the back ends up paddling...^^
Since the tour ends at the spot, it's a good idea to borrow a restroom and shower at the nearby Sheraton. Although the meeting place might seem uncertain on the map, it's easy to find and parking is simple. It's reasonably priced and very satisfying. I highly recommend it.
短時間コースに参加しました。早朝の海は穏やかでとても気持ち良いです。そんなに沖には出ないで陸沿いを景色を楽しみながら漕いで行きます。折り返してスノーケルポイントでカヌーを止めてしばらくスノーケルを楽しめます。
無論海の中は別世界です。
ガイドさんは日本語堪能でとても親切にして頂きました。
カヌーの操作も簡単です。夫婦、カップルで参加すれば絆が深まるかも?まぁ結局は後ろで男性だけが漕ぐ羽目になりますが・・・^^
その場で解散なので目の前のシェラトンでトイレとプールでシャワーを借りると良いでしょう。
集合場所も地図だと不安ですがわかりやすく駐車も簡単で
す。お手頃価格で満足感高いです。オススメです。
I chose this tour after reading the other reviews and we were definitely not disappointed. The good reviews are all true. Dan is very experienced and friendly. He is very patient and kind with beginners and answered all our questions. The hour long snorkel is definitely enough time. This is a excellent tour for both beginners and experienced snorkelers. We saw so a huge variety of fish and the whole experience met and exceeded our expectations. Thank you Dan for a great day. We recommend you and your company without any hesitation.
Thank you Kirsten, Glad you guys had a good time. Tomorrow, Wednesday, Pipe is going to be huge you guys should go check it out. Hope we see you again. Dan.
I arrived a little early at the meeting place, and since it was a hot day with no shade, waiting was a bit challenging. I signed the documents and boarded the boat. The staff were all friendly. When it was our turn, we went up to a height of 120 meters and enjoyed the breathtaking view, which was very moving. I felt no fear of the height once we were up, so I think choosing 120 meters was the right decision. The view of Waikiki Beach and the blue ocean from the sea side was very impressive.
集合場所に少し早く着き、暑い日だったので日陰もなく待つのが少し大変でした。書類にサインをして、ボートに乗りました。係の方は皆フレンドリーでした。自分たちの番がきて120mの高さまで上がり、絶景を楽しみとても感動しました。上がってみて高さに対する怖さはありませんでしたので120mにして正解だと思いました。海側からみるワイキキビーチと海の青さがとても印象的でした。
We started our first parasailing adventure at 150 meters at 10 AM! There were five groups participating, including us. The 9 AM and 11 AM slots had fewer participants. After having a hearty breakfast (which I regretted later... haha), we were all set! Since we were staying at the Hilton, we could walk to the meeting point without getting lost. The guide spoke very little Japanese, but we managed with gestures.
With many groups, the time spent on the boat is longer, so it's better to take motion sickness medication! Also, keep breakfast light (laughs).
Once we took off, it was simply amazing!! It was a quick journey through the skies! My husband, who isn't fond of roller coasters or the feeling of flying in airplanes, was totally fine. We were both nervous before flying, but in the end, it became the best memory of our trip! (The photo is from when we were dropped into the sea before returning to the boat.)
10時から初めてのパラセイリング150mにチャレンジ!
私たちを入れて5組参加していました。9時と11時スタートは組数が少なかったです。
朝ごはんをお腹いっぱい食べ(後で後悔・・笑)、準備完了!
ヒルトンに宿泊していたので、集合場所まで迷わず歩いて行くことができました。
ガイドさんはほとんど日本語は話せませんが、ジェスチャーでなんとかなります。
組数が多いと船に乗っている時間が長いので、酔い止めは飲んでいたほうがいいです!あと、朝ごはんはほどほどに(笑)
いざ、飛んでみると最高の一言!!あっという間の空の旅でした!
ジェットコースターや飛行機のふわっとするのが苦手な旦那さんも、ぜんぜん平気でした。
飛ぶ前は2人でびくびくしていましたが、最後には旅行の一番の思い出になりました!
(写真は、船に戻る前、海に落とされたときのものです)
My wife and I had a wonderful time on our snorkeling trip. Dave was very patient with us, especially me, as we learned the basics.
Thanks John, you did great. Hope your wife gives diving a try. Hope we see you again. Dan.
Even for someone with a fear of heights like me, I had a great time!!! Everything went smoothly, and it became a wonderful memory! If I go parasailing in Hawaii again, I would like to book here!
高所恐怖症のわたしでも
とても楽しめました!!!
全てスムーズで、良い思い出になりました!
また次ハワイでパラセーリングするならこちらで予約したいです!
It was a lot of fun from the moment we boarded until we flew back over the harbor. It was thrilling. We even saw dolphins from the boat by chance. Since we had an evening reservation, we were able to take photos with the sunset in the background, and I was very satisfied.
乗船してから上空を飛んでハーバーに戻るまで、ずっと楽しかったです。スリル満点でした。船からは偶然にもイルカが見れたりしました。夕方の予約でしたので、夕日をバックに写真を撮って頂いたりり、大満足です。
Absolutely amazing! The scenery was great, the weather was perfect, and the parasailing staff were really nice, making for a wonderful experience. This time we went up to 150 meters, and even though my wife has a fear of heights, she truly enjoyed it, and we were both very satisfied.
本当に最高❗️景色も良く天気も良くパラセーリング担当の方々も本当にいい人で良い経験できました✨
今回は150mで嫁が高所恐怖症なのですが、本当に楽しでおり2人とも大満足です。
I stayed at Hilton and walked to the meeting point, but it was difficult to find. The parasailing itself was fun, but it seems I needed to ask the captain for photos before parasailing, so it's a shame I don't have any pictures from the experience. The information was only provided via email, which left me dissatisfied with the service.
ヒルトンに宿泊していたため徒歩で集合場所へ向かうも場所が分かりづらかった。
パラセーリング自体は楽しく参加できたけど、写真を撮ってもらうには、パラセーリング前に船長にお願いする必要があったらしく、パラセーリング中の写真がないのが残念。
メールでの案内だけなので、サービスに不満が残った。
I tried kayaking! ♬ Unfortunately, it was raining on the day I participated, or rather, it was pouring. This was my fourth time, and it was the first time it rained... But despite the high waves, I did my best and challenged myself to kayak. Unlike the calm sea, I was completely exhausted, but it was fun! After kayaking, I planned to rent a bike and go shopping, but the shop staff kindly drove me to Kailua Town because it was deemed dangerous. That was very nice of them. By the way, the photo was taken at Lanikai Beach when I participated on a sunny day! ♬
カヤックに挑戦しました♬
参加した日はあいにくの雨、と言うか豪雨。
リピート4回目にして、初の雨、、、
でも、高波の中、頑張って自力でカヤックに挑戦しました。
穏やかな海とは異なり、すっかり体力を消耗しましたが、楽しかったです!
カヤック後は、自転車をレンタルしてショッピングに出かけようとした所、危険との事でショップの人が車でカイルアタウンまで送り迎えしてくれ、とても親切で良かったです。
ちなみに、写真は晴れた時に参加した際にラニカイビーチで撮影しました♬
Dear Yamahana,
Thank you very much for participating in the kayak tour during the recent heavy rain and high waves, and for taking the time to leave a comment.
While we cannot control the weather, we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience despite the bad conditions. As shown in the photos, Kailua and Lanikai are beautiful when the sun is shining. We sincerely look forward to your next visit. Thank you again.
Sincerely,
The Staff at Kailua Beach Adventures
やまはな様
先日のあの豪雨の高波の中、カヤックツアーに参加され、さらには、このようにコメントを頂き、本当にありがとうございます。
天候だけはどうしようもないのですが、あの悪天候の中、楽しんで頂け、私どもも嬉しく思います。
写真のように、晴れているカイルア、ラニカイは催行です。またのお越しを心よりお待ち致しております。ありがとうございました。

Although I have been to Oahu many times, this was my first experience with parasailing. Considering my age, I thought this might be the first and last time for such an experience, so I convinced my daughter, who is not fond of heights, to join me. We chose the lowest height of 90 meters, but the ride was so comfortable that I wished we had gone a little higher. From takeoff to landing, our guide continuously took photos, and for an additional fee, they provided them on an SD card, which became a wonderful keepsake. Thank you for your assistance.
何回もオアフ島に行っているのに初めてパラセイリングを体験しました。
年齢的にもこのような体験は最初で最後と思い、高いところが苦手な娘を説得しての参加となりました。
苦手な娘のことも考え一番低い90mにしましたが、空の遊覧はあまりにも快適でもう少し高くすれば良かったと思いました。
飛び立つところから下りるまでガイドさんが写真をとり続けてくれて、おまけに有料ですがSDカードにしてくれて記念に残るものとなりました。
お世話になりました。
I was captivated by the incredibly beautiful sea and decided to participate for the second time. Compared to last year, the experience has leveled up, with Japanese-speaking staff available. There were more underwater scooters, allowing several people to ride at once, and wet suits were provided for cold weather protection. The staff were very kind and took great care of us, even holding our hands underwater. However, when riding the scooter, my hair got wet, and the resulting photos made me look a bit different, but since they are great memories, I decided to purchase them. If possible, I would love to try again for a third time!
あまりに綺麗な海に魅せられて2度目の参加を決めました。
去年に比べてレベルアップされていて、日本語を話すスタッフがいて
水中スクーターが増え1度に数人が乗れ、寒さ対策のウエットスーツも用意されていました。
スタッフの方々はとても親切で水中でも手を取って丁寧に対応して頂きました。
ただスクーターに乗る時,髪がぬれてしまい出来上がった写真が~~ちょっと
別人になりますが、良い記念なので購入しました。
出来れば3度目も挑戦したいです!
We arrived at the Royal Kona Resort in about 15 minutes by taxi.
There’s nothing in particular that you need, but if you have sensitive skin, it's definitely a good idea to apply sunscreen!
The guide was cheerful and it was a lot of fun!
We took many photos, which became great memories.
ホテルはロイヤルコナリゾートでタクシーで15分ほどで到着しました。
必要なものは特にないですが、肌弱い方はかならず日焼け止めは必ず塗ったほうがいいです!
ガイドさんも陽気でとても楽しかったです!
写真もたくさん撮っていただき、思い出になりました。
The scenery was great, but the lively staff were the best! I had the most fun on this trip! Thank you so much! :-)) Also, everyone, don't forget to tip.
景色もさることながら、ノリの良いスタッフが最高!今回の旅で一番楽しめました!ありがとうございました〜:-)) それと、みなさんTIPを忘れずに。
We signed up for this kayaking tour with a young toddler with us and initially I was a bit sceptical of how well it would go. But Kevin was friendly, informative and really patient through out the activity making sure our first experience in Hawaii and of snorkeling was pleasant and enjoyable. Definitely recommend
We are a family of 4 with a infant. Snorkeling was not an option but we wanted to see marine life. The boat was great, captain took the boat out gently; no turbulence, baby was happy. We got to see dolphins, turtles and schools of fish
took my 9 year old granddaughter up with me... this was a thrill and 1/2 !!
one more item i can check off my bucket list.
these two guys that took us out were just Awesome
My experience was wonderful. It was the first time I had ever been snorkeling and the instructors were fabulous. I would definitely do it again.
Thanks Lynn, glad you had good time. Hope we see you again. Dan.
I noticed the instruction to call for confirmation the night before, and when I called first thing in the morning, they assured me that it was fine not to confirm and that they would pick me up on time, which was a relief.
They arrived about 15 minutes past the scheduled time. The guide was very pleasant.
I wore sneakers as advised for walking, but I ended up wading into the river with my shoes on, and the jungle was so muddy that I got completely covered in dirt. I recommend wearing outdoor water shoes (the guide was barefoot). Even without going into the waterfall, there was a point where we had to cross a river, and at 155 centimeters tall, I got wet up to my thighs.
Also, both canoeing and hiking were quite strenuous. I usually exercise, but I was sore the next day. However, the sense of accomplishment made it very enjoyable.
Perhaps because it was a bit chilly seasonally, most people didn't go into the waterfall, and we only stayed there for about 20 to 30 minutes, including lunch. It was great that we could kayak at our own pace without feeling rushed on the way there and back. By the way, since I was participating alone, I kayaked with another solo participant.
I think they picked me up around 8:40, and I returned to the hotel around 14:15.
If I have the chance to go again, I would love to participate once more.
前日の夜にコンフォームの電話をしろと書いてある事に気がつき、当日朝イチで電話をすると、コンフォームしなくても大丈夫、時間通りに迎えに行きますよ、との事で一安心。
約束のお時間を15分くらい過ぎて迎えがきました。
感じのいいガイドさんでした。
歩きやすい靴、との事でスニーカーで行きましたが、川の中も靴のままで入ったり、ジャングルはぬかるみがひどく泥まみれになりました。
アウトドアー用のウォーターシューズで行く事をオススメします。(ガイドさんは裸足でした)
滝で水に入らなくても、行く途中に川を渡るところがあるので、その時点で155センチの私は太ももまで濡れました。
また、カヌーもハイキングもなかなかハードです。
普段運動をしている私ですが、翌日筋肉痛になりました。ですがその分達成感もあり、大変楽しかったです。
季節的に肌寒かったためか、ほとんどの人が滝には入らず、滝にはランチも含めて20分〜30分ほどしか滞在しませんでした。
行きも帰りもカヤッキングは焦らされることなく、自分のペースで行かせてくれて良かったです。
ちなみに私は1人の参加だったので、もう1人のお一人様と一緒にカヤッキングをしました。
8:40位に迎えがきて、ホテルに戻ったのは14:15くらいだったと思います。
また行くことがあったらまた参加したいです。
At 63 years old, I was anxious about trying outrigger canoeing for the first time, but it was an amazing experience. I encourage everyone to give it a try. Make it a wonderful memory in Waikiki, Hawaii.
63歳にして初めてのアウトリガーカヌー実際不安がありましたが最高の気持ちよさでした。
皆さん是非挑戦して下さい。ハワイ・ワイキキの素敵な思い出にして下さい。
Thank you very much for the five-star review. Outrigger canoe surfing has no age restrictions and is accessible even for those who cannot swim, allowing many people to enjoy it. This sport is an essential activity in Hawaiian culture, so we definitely want everyone to experience it. We look forward to your next visit! Mahalo!
5つ星の口コミ誠にありがとうございます。アウトリガーカヌーサーフィンは年齢制限がなく、泳げない方でも参加が可能ですので、沢山の方に楽しんでいただけます。このスポーツはハワイの文化には欠かせないアクティビティーですので、是非皆さんに経験していただきたいですね。またのお越しをお待ちしております!マハロ!
I applied alone, but I was able to participate enjoyably. I flew with a pair of other women, and the view from the sky was wonderful. Thank you very much.
一人で申し込みましたが、楽しく参加できました。
他の女性2人組と一緒に3人で飛び、空からの景色は素晴らしかったです。
ありがとうございました。
Die Kajaktour ist einfach zu bewältigen, zieht sich aber meiner Meinung nach mit 45min etwas hin. Die Wanderung zum Wasserfall ist eine Erfahrung für sich: Durch einen Fluss mit doch recht starker Strömung (Sicherung durch ein Seil), über wirklich schlammige Wege durch den Dschungel und das alles wieder zurück. Ist aber für jedermann gut zu bewältigen. Auf jeden Fall Wasserschuhe mitnehmen. Teilweise standen wir knöcheltief im Schlamm. Der Wasserfall ist großartig (30m hoch), das Wasser sehr erfrischend. Man darf aber nicht erwarten, dort mit seiner Gruppe allein zu sein. Im Minutentakt kommen neue Besucher am Wasserfall an. Trotzdem eine schöne Location.
Würde die Tour wieder machen!
Each instructor was assigned to one out of two participants, which made it a very enjoyable experience! I believe even those who lack confidence in their physical fitness or are usually inactive can manage to stand up just fine!
二人に一人のインストラクターがついてくださり、
非常に楽しめました!体力に自信がない方、普段運動不足な方でも十分立つことができると思います!!
Thank you for the 4-star review! We look forward to your next visit!
4つ星の口コミ有難うございました!またのお越しをお待ちしております!
The parachute was very colorful in the photos and other tours, but ours was mostly white with a large skull on it. I think some people might like skulls, but I was a bit disappointed because I was expecting something colorful. Also, I signed up for the 150m, but it felt like the height was the same as the 120m. It seemed like the time was a bit longer compared to others, so I wondered if that was to make up for the price difference. The parasailing itself was as expected and fun. The handsome staff took a lot of photos, but $30 is expensive!
写真であったり他のツアーではとてもカラフルなパラシュート(?)でしたが、私たちのツアーのものは殆ど白で大きくドクロが書かれていました。ドクロが好きな方もあるとは思いますが、私はカラフルなものを期待していったので少しガッカリでした。また、150mを申し込んだのですが120mの方と高さは変わらなかった気がします。時間的には他の方に比べて少し長めだったので、それで差額を補充されたのでは?と思いました。パラセーリング自体は期待通りで楽しくはありました。イケメンのお兄さんが沢山写真を撮ってくれましたが、30$は高い!
My first parasailing experience was amazing! I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea and scenery from above, and it was truly a great experience! I'm really glad I signed up for it!
I originally booked for a height of 150m, but when I arrived at the hotel and saw the view from the tall buildings, I got nervous about the height and changed my reservation to 90m the day before. Despite the sudden change, they responded quickly, and I was able to have a fun time! I had no worries on the day of the activity, so I plan to request their services again for activities on my next trip! ^_^
はじめてのパラセーリングは綺麗な海と景色を空の上から眺めることができ、とっても良い経験になりました!!申し込んで本当に良かったと思いました!!
高さに関しては150mで予約しましたが、ホテルに着き高層ビルから景色を見た途端、高さにビビり前日に90mへの高さ変更をしました急な変更にも関わらず、迅速な対応をして下さり、楽しく過ごすことができました!!なにも不安なく、当日楽しむことができたので、また旅行でアクティビティをする際はこちらでお願いしようと思います!!^_^
This was my second time surfing in Hawaii. This school was my first experience. There were about 10 people in each class, which was a bit on the larger side. There were three instructors. The instructors helped by pushing the boards at the right moments, so everyone was able to catch the waves. The girls found paddling to be quite challenging.
ハワイでサーフィンをするのは2回目でした。こちらのスクールは初めての体験でした。1クラス10人程度で人数は多めです。先生は3人でした。先生がタイミングよくボードを押してくれるのでみなさん、波に乗れていました。女子はパドリングが大変でした。
I participated in a discounted early morning tour. The tour was conducted by locals, so it was entirely in English, but they kept the atmosphere lively with simple jokes. We even got to see turtles when we went out to sea, and the three of us in the family all went parasailing at the same time!
朝早いツアーが割引になっていたので参加しました。
ツアー催行は現地の人なので完全英語でしたが、簡単な英語でジョーク等で場を盛り上げてくれました。
沖に出る時に亀も見れて、家族3人で一斉にパラセーリング飛ばしてくれました!
I participated in the early morning plan at 120 meters! They took photos and offered a service to purchase the data, which was really great. They took 75 pictures for us!
The breeze was pleasant, and it was fun to splash in the water!
By participating in the morning, I had free time from around noon, allowing me to spend the day efficiently! Thank you very much!
早朝プラン120メートルで参加しました!
写真を撮ってくれてデータを購入できるサービスもあってとってもよかったです♬75枚も撮ってくれていました(*^ω^*)
風も気持ちよく、水にジャポンして楽しかったです!!
朝に参加することで昼前からも自由な時間ができ、効率よく一日過ごすことが出来ました!
ありがとうございました!
