Hawaii
The time described on the website was closely followed. Staff are friendly and accommodating.
Mahalo for your very kind words! We hope to see you again on your next island adventure.
This was a tour I had heard about from an acquaintance and absolutely wanted to try. It may seem simple to paddle out with a canoe and ride the waves back, but it’s incredibly fun. It takes about 30 minutes, so it's a great way to make some good memories when you have a little free time. I highly recommend it!
これは知り合いから聞いていて絶対やりたいと思っていたツアーでした。
カヌーで沖までこいで波に乗って帰ってくる単純に思えますが最高に楽しいです。
時間にして30分くらいなのでちょっと時間が空いた時に参加すると良い思い出になりますよ。
おすすめです!
Thank you for the 5-star review! We look forward to your next visit!
5つ星の口コミ、ありがとうございました! またのお越しをお待ちしております!
Even though it was our family's first time, we were kindly taught. My wife, who usually doesn't exercise, still had a good experience. It's something you can't easily experience in Japan, so I recommend it.
家族初めてでも親切に教えてもらえました。普段運動をしない妻でもなんとか良い体験になりました。日本だとなかなか体験できませんのでお勧めです。
Thank you very much for the five-star review! When you return to Waikiki, please consider using our services again! We also have paddleboards ready right in front of the ocean, so I think it will be convenient for rentals. We offer rentals in front of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel or on either side of the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel (Diamond Head Beach, Gray's Beach), so feel free to stop by! Mahalo Nui Loa!
5つ星の口コミ、誠にありがとうございました! ワイキキに戻られた際はまた弊社のサービスをご利用ください! パドルボードも海目の前に用意しておりますので、レンタルにも便利だと思います。ロイヤルハワイアンホテル前、あるいはシェラトンワイキキホテル両脇(ダイアモンドヘッドビーチ、グレーズビーチ)にて貸出しておりますのでご気軽にお越しください! マハロヌイロア!
Had a blast. Crew is awesome and very helpful. Would definitely use this company again.
I booked this activity online. The driver picked us up from our hotel in Waikiki on time and drove us to the activity center which is about 25 minutes drive from Waikiki. Once we arrived they processed us with waivers etc. quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately that's when the wait started. We waited about 30 minutes for the shuttle boat to take us to the barge where the jet skis are docked. The shuttle ride is only about 10 minutes but once we arrived at the barge there was another 45 minute wait till we actually got on the jet skis. After a 30 minute ride, we were shuttled back to the activity center and then waited another 40 minutes for the shuttle bus to take us back to Waikiki.
The jet skiing was very fun. Jet skiing in the ocean with waves is a lot of fun with large sprays and a good speed rush. The staff were very friendly but they are very busy and you have to be prepared to wait around. In total it took us about 4 hours door to door to complete this activity.
Mahalo for such a nice review! We are happy you enjoyed your activities - come see us again!
The photos are very beautiful, and I was able to fully enjoy the sea and sky of Hawaii. However, since the sea can be a bit rough, I recommend taking motion sickness medication.
お写真もとっても綺麗でハワイの海と空を堪能できました。ただ海が少し荒いので酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。
At the strong request of my 6-year-old daughter, I participated with my 9-year-old son.
There weren't many places that allowed parasailing for 6-year-olds, so we signed up here where it was possible for ages 5 and up.
Since it was my first time parasailing as well, I felt a bit anxious about experiencing it with my daughter, who was right at the age limit.
Together, we didn't even weigh 70 kilograms, and I wondered if we might get blown away if the wind picked up.
However...
My daughter was completely unafraid and smiled the whole time. She was so excited, saying it was like a swing and so much fun!
Since it was our first time, we challenged ourselves to 90 meters, but because the water was below, I didn't feel the height much at all and wasn't scared at all.
She enjoyed jumping into the sea, exclaiming how cold it was!
Now she wants to try an even higher parasailing next time.
My 9-year-old son is not fond of heights, so he watched from the boat, but thankfully, he didn't feel any seasickness, possibly thanks to the motion sickness medication he took just in case. He seemed to really enjoy just being out on the boat with the refreshing wind.
When we boarded, there were three other groups with us, but we were the only Asians.
However, everyone came together, blasting music and enjoying it in true American style, which was great.
The staff were also entertaining and very kind to the children.
If we have the chance again, we would love to come back here!
6歳の娘のたっての希望で9歳の息子と参加しました。
他のところでは6歳でパラセーリングができるところはあまりなかったので、5歳以上可能とのこちらで申し込みました。
私自身もパラセーリング初体験だったので、体験する前は年齢制限ギリギリの娘と一緒にパラセーリングを体験する事に少し不安もありました。
体重も二人合わせて70キロもないし、風がふいたら飛ばされちゃうんじゃないかなー、と。
しかし、、、、
娘は全く怖がらず、終始笑顔。
ブランコみたいで楽しいー!!と大興奮でした。
初めてだったので90メートルに挑戦したのですが、下が海なので、高さもあまり感じず、全く怖くなかったです。
定番の海にお尻ポチャもつめたーいっ!と言いながらとっても楽しんでいました。
今度はもっと高いパラセーリングに挑戦したいそうです。
9歳の息子は高いところが苦手なので、ボートで見学だったのですが、心配していた船酔いも、念のために服用した酔い止めが効いていたのか全くなく、ボートで沖に出るだけでも、風が気持ちよく、とても楽しかったようです。
私たちが乗船した時は他に3組の方々がいらっしゃったのですが、アジア人は私たちだけ。
しかしみんなが一体となり、音楽をガンガンかけ、アメリカのノリで楽しめたのも良かったです。
スタッフの方も面白く、子供たちにとっても優しかったです。
また機会があったら、こちらでお願いします!!
Awesome crew!!! Made our boat ride enjoyable and our experience that much more exciting.
It was my first time parasailing in Hawaii. We were the only Japanese people there, and since we could only communicate in English, I only understood bits and pieces of what was being said, but it was fun even at 120 meters! In fact, there was no confirmation of how many meters we were going, so even if I paid for the 150-meter option, I might not have been able to tell the difference. I bought the photos for $30! Don't forget that tips are also necessary.
Hawaiiでは初めてのパラセーリング。
日本人は私たちだけで英語でしか通じないため、話してる内容はなんとなくしかわかりませんでしたが、120mでも楽しかったです!むしろ、何メートルですって確認はなかったので、150mの料金を払っても体感ではわからないかも。写真は30ドルで買いました!チップも必要ですので、忘れずに。
We participated as a group of four. At first, we preferred canoeing, but the initial part was free time. The kayak was difficult to paddle against the headwind on the way out, but it was fast on the return with the tailwind. Tomo's explanation on the uninhabited island was very good. Thank you very much.
4人で参加しました。最初カヌーがよかったのですが、最初がフリータイムでした。カヤックが向かい風で行きはなかなか進みませんでしたが、帰りは追い風で早かったです。無人島でのトモさんの説明がとてもよかったです。ありがとうございました。
We participated as a family of three, including our 10-year-old daughter. It was our first experience, but there were friendly staff members who spoke Japanese, so we felt at ease enjoying the sky walk. While moving by boat, we were able to see sea turtles, and there was an option to have photos taken on an SD card for $30. Since our family wanted to ride together, we requested the photo service. After returning home and checking the card, we found about 80 beautiful pictures, including the scenery, and we were glad we made the request. Among the optional activities on this trip, it was the most enjoyable and affordable, so next time, I want to challenge the 150m option. I highly recommend this tour; you'll want to give a tip!
娘10歳を含めて家族三人で参加しまた。初体験でしたが日本語も話せる親切なスタックもいて安心して空の散歩を楽しむ事が出来ました。ボートで移動中にウミガメを見せて貰ったり、30ドルでSDカードに写真を撮って貰えるオプションが有ったので私達家族は三人同時に乗る為、撮影をお願いしました。帰国してカードを確認しましたが景色も含め、綺麗に80枚程入っておりお願いして良かったです。今回の旅行のオプショナルの中で安価なのに一番楽しかったので、次回は150mにチャレンジしたい思ってます。チップを渡したくなるおすすめツアーですよ。
It was fun and we had a good time. However, the boat ride was not good and we got really sick due to extreme motion. We were so afraid to throw up on the boat or when we were up in the sky!
My husband and two kids (12 and 9 y.o.) went on this kayaking tour. At first, I was nervous that 4 hours would be too long and my kids would not last. It turned out that my kids and husband loved it and could have gone longer. It was easy paddling. The day was perfect for kayaking - very relaxing and beautiful scenic route. Best part was snorkeling at Keauhou Bay. Our guide, Kevin, at King Kayak was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us a good history overview. Would definitely do this again and want to go longer next time.
I heard that it's one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, so I just had to go. However, I was hesitant about renting a car, and public buses seemed like they would take a long time, so I ended up joining this tour. I highly recommend renting a bike for about $10 extra to enjoy Lanikai Beach and the town of Kailua. It's really refreshing, so I suggest it!
We arrived around 10 AM, so in the morning, we played a bit at Kailua Beach, which is within walking distance, and then rode our bikes to Lanikai Beach. After enjoying both beaches, we returned to Kailua Beach Park and indulged in a late lunch at Bob's Pizzeria. The portion size is quite large, with a quarter of a big pizza, and I recommend the garlic pizza with spinach and pepperoni.
After that, I quickly changed and rode my bike to the town of Kailua until the meeting time. I checked out Lanikai Juice and various shops.
One thing I regret is that there aren't many drinks available along the way, so it might be tough if you don't get some water before the tour meeting.
島の中でもとても綺麗なビーチと聞いて、とにかく行かなきゃ、と、でもレンタカーは億劫だし、公共バスは時間かかりそうだし、、と思いこのツアーに参加しちゃいました。とにかくおすすめは、1人追加で約10ドルするけど自転車借りてラニカイビーチやカイルアの街まで行ってこのあたりを満喫すること。とても気持ちいいのでおすすめです!
10時頃に現地に着くので、午前中は、歩いても行けるカイルアビーチで少し遊び、その後自転車でラニカイビーチへ。どちらもそれなりに満喫したら、カイルアビーチパークに戻りBob's Pizzeria で遅めのランチでピザを堪能。一人前が大きなピザ1/4分とかなり大きいですが、ほうれん草とペパロニのガーリックピザ、オススメです。
その後はざっと着替えて、集合時間までカイルアの街まで自転車で。ラニカイジュースやお店を色々覗いてまわりました。
1つ自分としての反省は、とにかく飲み物が途中であまりないので、ツアーの集合の前に水を調達して持って行ったりしないと、辛いかも、、です。
I was exhausted, but it was a fun experience. I drank a lot of seawater, couldn't stand up while surfing, and got sunburned all over, but it felt like Hawaii!
くたくたに疲れたけど楽しい体験でした。海水いっぱい飲んだし、サーフィン立てなかったし、日焼けで真っ赤になったけどハワイ〜って感じ
I accidentally booked a tour with an English guide and was worried, but both the guide and the driver were kind, and I had a very enjoyable time. I went up to 90 meters, which was a sufficient height to get a beautiful view of Waikiki. Many people seemed to give a tip of $20 for two people.
間違って英語ガイドのツアーを予約してしまい不安でしたが、ガイドの方も運転手の方も優しく、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
90メートルにしましたが、十分な高さで、ワイキキの街が一望できとても綺麗でした。
チップは2人で20ドル渡されている方が多かったです。
I participated in the underwater scooter, snorkeling, and sandbar activities, but the underwater scooter was the main focus, with snorkeling and the sandbar as waiting activities. At the sandbar, there wasn't much to do, and it felt both boring and cold, but I think many people felt it was better than getting seasick on the boat. I wish they would consider adding more content to the experience.
水中スクータとシュノーケリングとサンドバーの部妾に参加しましたが、水中スクータがメインで、待ち時間にシュノーケリングとサンドバーといった感じでした。
サンドバーでは特にすることがなく、暇なうえ寒いといった感じでしたが、船上にもどって酔うよりはマシといった人が多かったと思います。
もう少し内容を考えてほしいと思いました。
The surfing itself was refreshing and enjoyable, but there was hardly any explanation, and it ended after just two waves in about 25 minutes. It felt a bit overpriced for such a brief experience.
波乗り自体は爽快で楽しいものでしたが、説明もほとんどなく2回波に乗って25分ほどで終わりました.呆気なく割高に感じました.
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide a service that meets your expectations.
During the canoe surfing tour you participated in, our local staff strives to ensure that customers can ride the waves at least twice and enjoy the tour. Depending on the conditions of the day, it is possible to ride more than twice, but we determined that two rides were appropriate based on the conditions on that day. We will work with the operating company to improve the explanation of the tour on-site.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience.

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
しかしながら、ご満足いただけるサービスを提供できませんでしたこと、心よりお詫び申し上げます。
ご参加いただきましたカヌー・サーフィンのツアーではお客様に最低でも2回は波に乗っていただき、ツアーをお楽しみいただけるよう現地スタッフがサービスに努めております。その日の状況次第で2回以上波に乗ることもございますが、当日の状態を見て2回までと判断させていただきました。現地でのツアー説明に関しましては、改善に向けて催行会社と努めてまいります。
お忙しい中、体験談のご投稿、誠にありがとうございました。

This was a lot of fun but I think it would have been better if the bus would go to the waterfall and one beach place to allow more time to do activities. Our bus driver was informative but repeated himself alot which did get a little annoying at times.
The glass bottom boat was a great experience that didnt break the bank. The tour guides were friendly, casual, and knowledgeable. Definitely recommended for a chill day out on the water.
The school was great. We caught lots of waves and Adam was a great instructor.
I signed up because I wanted to go cave exploring, but we didn't go to the cave. There was no explanation for not going (there might have been one, but it wasn't heard by everyone over the ocean). It ended earlier than planned. Snorkeling was fun, but I felt like I missed out on something.
洞窟探検に行きたくて申し込んだのに、洞窟行かない。行かない説明申し込んだのにない(あったかもしれしれないけど、海の上では、全員には、聞こえない)。予定より早く終わった。シュノーケリングは、楽しかったけど、なんか損した気分
The music was playing, and it looked like so much fun! I sat in the front. When the waves came, I got completely soaked, and we all got really excited! I took pictures with people nearby. If I could speak English, I might have been able to communicate more. I want to ride again when I come back to Hawaii. Thank you!
音楽が流れ、楽しそう❗️前の方に乗りました。波がきたら、全身ずぶ濡れで、キャアキャア盛り上がりました(^^)
近くの方と写真撮りました。英語が出来たらもっとコミニケーションできたのかも。
またハワイに来たら、また乗りたいです。ありがとうございました。
This snorkeling experience was more than we bargained for. We will do this again and bring the rest of the family. What a wonderful way to spend our morning. We just loved it!!
Thanks guys, hope we see you again. Dan.
My wife and I recently moved to the island and chose this cruise as our first adventure here. The crew is great and extremely knowledgable and they make you feel comfortable on board. They took us on a solid tour up and down Waikiki beach. Amazing view and perfect weather. The bartender was awesome and made some great drinks. The prices were reasonable, especially considering what drinks cost in the Waikiki area. Buy the souvenir mug if you're looking for a deal. They can make you 16oz cocktails for the same price as the little drinks. If you're looking for a couple hours on the water and a few awesome drinks, this is the cruise for you.
Thank you so much for your review. We are glad your enjoyed your Makani experience! We look forward to having you sail with us again soon! Aloha MakaniCat
We had a great time kayaking the beautiful clear blue water with our guides Ben and Devin. Was a lot of fun getting to snorkel and cliff jump and the guides provided us with snacks and drinks on the cliffs. The highlight for sure, however, was having a pod of dolphins swim by/amongst us on both our way there and our way back. Awesome time. Thanks Ben and Devin!
Even as a beginner, I was able to stand up on the board in just one try! The teaching method and guidance were so good that I was truly impressed. There was also a girl around 5 years old from the same school standing up next to me, and she was actually better than us! At the end, they gave us a CD-R with photos (for free), and they took quite a few pictures, which really increased my satisfaction!
初めてでも一回でたてる!教え方、押し方?が上手なのか初めてでも立てて感動しました。横では同じスクールの5歳くらい?の女の子も立てていました(^^)むしろ私たちより上手でした。
最後に写真をCD-Rをプレゼント(無料)してくれ結構たくさん写真撮ってて下さっていてさらに満足値があがりました!
My first parasailing experience! I was a bit scared by the height, but I enjoyed seeing Diamond Head and the beautiful ocean! ♡
初めてのパラセーリング!思った以上の高さにビビりながらも、ダイヤモンドヘッドが見えたり、海がキレイで楽しめました♡
The tour was very smooth, with no wasted time, and we had a great time. The kids were also thrilled and want to experience it again. The guide spoke English, but there were explanations written on paper in Japanese, which made it easy to understand.
ツアーはとてもスムーズで無駄な時間がなくすごく楽しめました。
また体験したいと子供達も大喜びでした。
ガイドは英語ですが、説明が書いた用紙には日本語で書かれたものがあり
分かりやすかったです。
The guide and his assistant were very nice a patient with us. I suggest this tour only for strong swimmers and those physically fit. Instead of dropping off a boat into the water and swimming around, you begin the tour walking down to the beach down some big rocks. Then you swim against the waves............exhausting until you reach the group destination...exhausted. The water was semi-cloudy but you could see some fish. Then you swim back.
