All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I thought it would be a lot scarier than it was, but parasailing was actually quite relaxing! I went tandem with the friend on the 1,000-ft line and boy do you go high up! Looking at Waikiki, it seemed like we were higher than all the skyscrapers.

The crew was really awesome, too, cracking jokes to make us feel more at ease. You can choose how wet you want to get, and we chose to get dipped up to our necks. I was pretty impressed with how well they were able to handle the boat and the sail, as you can also choose to have a completely-dry landing.

This is an experience I recommend to everyone, and the guys at Hawaiian Parasail definitely earned their tip!

Went with my two daughters, the staff is very friendly and professional, we had a great time!

Before we started, I was wondering if we would be pulled from the sea or if we would just drop into the water! I was really nervous, but as the boat picked up speed, we smoothly lifted off from the deck. The weather was great, and the view from the sky was amazing—it was the best experience. It seems that up to three people can go together, so it was perfect that my family of three could enjoy it together.

始める前は、海の中から引っ張られるのかな？とか、降りる時は海にドボン！なのかな？とか、ドキドキでしたが、船がスピードを上げたかと思うと、船のデッキからスーッと浮かび上がりました。天気も良かったので、空からの眺めが素晴らしく、最高でした。３人まで一緒にできるみたいで、ちょうど家族３人で一緒にできて良かったです。

I found out that I could go parasailing right near the Hilton where I was staying, so I made a last-minute reservation. The access was great, and there was a discount plan, making it a worthwhile experience. The local instructor took lots of photos while we were parasailing, which made for wonderful memories.

宿泊していたヒルトンのすぐ近くでパラセイリングが出来ると知って急きょ予約しました。
アクセスが良く、割引プランもあってお得な体験でした。現地インストラクターさんがパラセイリング中の写真をいっぱい撮ってくれたので良い思い出になりました。

The crews are very patient, sweet and helpful. It was a fun trip allthough a lot harder than we (two sisters) expected. They ended up towing us because we were behind everyone.
The best part was eating awesome pineapples and feeding the skins to the fish. The deep blue ocean is really beautiful, absolutely worth it.

Took our family on this excursion and had a great time. Kevin was very knowledgeable about the area and gave great directions for sea kayaking. Our family likes the water but we had never sea kayaked before. The sea cave was my favorite and the kids loved the snorkeling. The optional cliff jump was a blast for me (43) and Kevin gave great directions to keep feet together, arms at side, and stay vertical. Kids may have a hard time following the directions as instinct is to flail arms when falling and if they do then it will be unpleasant when they hit the water. The snacks Kevin brought were refreshing after our adventure. We had a great time and would do it again.

My husband, at 66 years old, took on his first snorkeling adventure! I had to persuade him to join, so I read various experiences and decided that this tour was the best choice. It was a great decision. I was worried about my husband, who has nasal issues, when I heard the instruction, "Breathe through your mouth only, not your nose," but thanks to Chieko's excellent teaching, he didn't struggle with breathing and was able to enjoy about an hour of snorkeling without holding back the younger couples. We created wonderful memories with the beautiful sea and the adorable, colorful fish. What is the path to enjoying snorkeling? The path to meeting the fish? Dan guided us along that sea path and helped us meet the fish. I recommend renting a wetsuit as it has many advantages, such as protecting against injuries from coral and helping with buoyancy, as well as keeping warm. Dan took plenty of photos and uploaded them to Facebook, so we could download them to our smartphones. The only disappointment was that we didn't get to see any sea turtles. It seemed that the continuous hour of swimming was tough for my husband, and he mentioned that he was tired and wanted a break.

夫は、66歳で初シュノーケリングに挑戦！渋る夫を説き伏せての参加だったので体験談をいろいろ読んで　ツアーはここしかないと決めました。大正解でした。「鼻呼吸はしない　口呼吸だけです」の言葉に　鼻の悪い夫が心配になりましたが、教え方の上手なチエコさんのおかげで呼吸が苦しくなることもなく、若いカップルたちの足を引っ張ることもなく　1時間ほどのシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。きれいな海　可愛くきれいなお魚さんの数々　良い思い出が作れました。シュノーケリングを楽しむ道？　お魚さんに会える道？なんでしょうか　ダンさんがその海の道を案内してお魚さんに合わせてくれます。ウエットスーツは、サンゴからの怪我を避けるのと体が浮きやすくなる　寒さから身を守るなど利点が多いので借りることをお勧めします。写真もダンさんがいっぱい撮ってくれてフェイスブックにアップしてくれるので写真を自分のスマホにダウンロードできます。ただ残念だったのが、ウミガメさんには会えなかったことですね。1時間ぶっ続けのスイムは　夫にはきつかったみたいで疲れた　休憩ほしかったといってました。

I'm not good with thrill rides, but I had no problem with parasailing. The view of the Hawaiian sea from above was beautiful and felt great. I did get a little rain when we were up there, but that also became a nice memory. I asked another crew member to take photos for me from below, but there were also people who brought their cameras up with them. If I have the chance again, I would like to try it at 150 meters next time.

私は絶叫系が苦手ですが、パラセイリングは問題なくできました。
上から見るハワイの海はとても綺麗で、気持ちよかったです。
上に上がった時に少々雨に打たれましたが、それもまたいい思い出になりました。
私はカメラは他のクルーにお願いして下から撮ってもらいましたが、カメラも持って上に上がっていく方たちもいました。
また機会があれば、今度は150ｍで挑戦してみたいです。

What an exciting adventure this was! A very well organised activity from go to whoa; and the staff were all friendly and professional. I'd never parasailed before but loved every second of my ride. Something you must try at least once!

I was quite nervous since it was my first time paragliding, but the explanations were thorough, and I had a great atmosphere with the other participants! It felt like time flew by because I enjoyed my walk in the sky so much! I thought it could have been a bit longer, but I was fully satisfied! I would love to participate in this activity again next time! (⌒▽⌒)

初めてのパラだったのでかなりドキドキしてましたが、説明もしっかりしていただき他の参加者の方ともすごくいい雰囲気で楽しめました！！
空の散歩が楽しすぎたせいかすぐに時間が過ぎてしまった感じでした！！
もう少し時間が、長くてもいいかなとは思いましたが充分満足できました！！
次回もまた参加してみたいアクティビティです(⌒▽⌒)

The boat was almost full, but there were only us and one other family of Japanese people. A cheerful group of Black women were singing and dancing to the background music, laughing and repeatedly shouting the word "splash!" with the boat captain, which left us a bit confused at first, but it turned into quite an attraction after a while, haha.

We couldn't see dolphins, but we were able to spot sea turtles and flying fish. The view of Diamond Head from the sea was beautiful. If you are prone to motion sickness, please make sure to take some anti-nausea medication!

You need to take off your sandals and board the boat barefoot, so don't forget to bring a bag for them. There was a place to put your belongings behind the seats. If you have a larger bag, you’ll be encouraged to place that behind the seat as well, so it's better to keep your valuables with you.

船はほぼ満員状態ですが、日本人の方は私達ともう一家族しかいらっしゃらなかったです。
陽気な黒人女性さん達がBGMにあわせて歌い踊り、ケラケラ笑いながら船頭さんとスプラッシュ！という単語を連発されていたので、？？？状態でしたが、途中から本当になかなかのアトラクションとなりました笑
イルカは無理だけど、ウミガメとトビウオは見る事ができました。
海からのダイヤモンドヘッドも綺麗でした。
乗り物酔いしやすい方は必ず酔い止め飲んでくださいね！
サンダル類は脱いで裸足で乗船するので、袋もお忘れなく。荷物は椅子の後ろに置く場所がありました。少し大きめのカバンだとそれも椅子の後ろに置くよう促されるので、貴重品だけは別で手元に持っていた方がいいですよ。

This was my first time snorkeling and Dan was a great teacher! He guided me through everything and made sure we were ready before heading out to the waters. I'm so glad that he was our guide..I don't think I would ever be able to do it without him. If you want to learn how to snorkel and see some beautiful fishes and turtles go with Blue Hawaii Divers!

Since we were staying at a hotel in Ala Moana, we could easily walk to the Hilton. Although it was said to take 2-3 hours, we signed up at 11:00, and since it was just the four of us, we were back at the hotel by 12:30.

The view from 150 meters high was truly fantastic, refreshing, and amazing!

アラモアナのホテルに滞在していたので、ヒルトンまですぐそこで歩いて行けました。
実際には２－３時間かかると言われていましたが、１１時に申し込んで、私たち４人だけだったので、12時半にはホテルに戻ってこられました。

１５０ｍの高さは本当に見晴らしがよく、気持ちよくて、最高でした！

We went with five family members: three adults and two children aged 8 and 3. The two children were not prompted to wear life jackets, but we could borrow them for free if we asked. They provide three to four practical sessions. The staff members at the back steer while we paddle, so the girls and kids were fine just holding the oars. Riding the waves was more thrilling than we imagined! During our first try, while riding the waves, a Japanese surfer suddenly appeared, and we had to steer to avoid him, almost capsizing. Foreigners were all very good at dodging. For those who can't swim and for children, wearing a life jacket is absolutely essential. This kind of situation is rare, but it was quite scary. Since my 3-year-old was frightened, we ended our attempts after three tries, including one failure. They seemed willing to let us go again, but we decided to finish. Middle schoolers and above will have a blast!

大人３人８才３才の家族５人で乗りました。子供２人のライフジャッケトの着用促されませんでしたが、一応、無料で、こちらから頼み無料で借りれました。３回から４回実地してくれます。こぐのもスタッフ２人が後ろで舵をとりながら、してくれるので、女子供はオールを持ってるだけでも大丈夫でした。波に乗ると想像以上にスリリング！！最初のトライの時、波に乗ってる中で、サーファーの日本人が飛び出してきて、こちらが、舵を切りよけて、横波に当たられ転覆寸前でした。外人さんはみんな上手によけてくれます。泳げない方や子供は絶対にライフジャッケット必須です。こんなことは、まずないようでしたが、ビビリマシタ。３歳の子供が怖がったため、失敗入れて３回でトライ終了。もう１回行ってくれそうでしたが、終了してもらいました。中学生以上は、メッチャ楽しめます。

I was a bit anxious about participating with my 63-year-old mother and my 5-year-old son, but my husband was also with us, so all four of us could enjoy the experience together. We all had a great time. Since we took motion sickness medication before departure, no one ended up feeling seasick, which was a relief.

63歳の母と、5歳の息子を連れての参加で不安もありましたが、夫も一緒に4人一緒に飛ばせてもらえました。みんなで楽しめました。出発前に酔い止めも飲んでいたので、誰も船酔いもせずに終われて良かったです。

Had a great time the first time, I did it again. I did the same thing, got bicycle and rode to the end of Lanikai beach to find that spot I first saw, a secluded beach to myself. However this year was high tide and didn't have the beach, but still enjoyed to peace and quiet though. From there, I traveled all the back to Kailua, and kept on going north until it was time to go back. Then choose Bobs pizza, cannot go wrong. Will I go back and do this again; for sure!!
Thumbs up again on the great customer service, accommodating their customers, the reason of being in business. You can expand your business by start selling seminars on how to conduct great ethical business practices.

Thank you so much! Had a great time! The guide Philip was great!

What a GREAT time! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great way to start my last day of vacation. Highly recommended to do!

So much fun!!!!! I thought the guy I the office was a bit rude, but didn't let that effect my rating. The guys on the boat were so nice & friendly, made my family feel so comfortable. Awesome experience!

Originally, we were scheduled for the day before, but the meeting place was hard to find, so we couldn't do it that day. I communicated with Beltora and ended up making a reservation for the next day to experience it. I had participated before and had a great time then as well, but this time I was able to enjoy it amidst the loud music and excitement. I definitely recommend the 150-meter option.

元々予定していたのは前日で、集合場所が分かり辛く、結局その日は出来ずに、ベルトラさんとやりとりをして、次の日に予約とゆう形で体験しました。
以前も参加したことがあり、その時も楽しかったですが、爆音ノリノリの中、楽しく過ごすことができました。
やっぱり150メートルがオススメです。

Although it was a short time, we went out to sea and felt the beauty of Diamond Head and the surrounding scenery, truly experiencing Hawaii. I sailed with my daughter, and she also seemed very satisfied, saying she had a great time!

短時間でしたが、沖に出てダイヤモンドヘッドや周りの景色、海を感じて、ハワイに来たな〜〜と感じるセイリングでした(^^)娘と乗船しましたが、娘も楽しかった！と大満足の様子でした。

I have participated in sunset cruises several times, but this was my first daytime yacht cruise. The catamaran felt stable and didn't sway much. There was a net at the bow where I could lie down and look at the sea. It was refreshing, and the sea breeze felt great.
Drinks and snacks were included. The staff spoke only English, but they were very friendly and took photos for us.

サンセットクルーズには何回か参加したことが有りますが、日中のヨットクルーズは初めてでした。双胴船で安定した感じで揺れはさほどありません。舳にはネットが張ってあり寝転んで海を見ることが出来ました。爽快で海風が気持ち良かったです。
ドリンクとスナックが付いていました。フタッフさんは英語のみでしたが、写真を撮ってくれたりとてもフレンドリーでした。

I participated in the afternoon session starting at 12:30. Fortunately, we were the only participants. According to the guide, there were nine participants in the morning session, which seems to be more popular, possibly because it allows for more effective use of time. In the afternoon, the water temperature is warmer, so for those who dislike cold water, the afternoon might be a better option.

The guide, who has lived in Hawaii for over 20 years, shared a lot of information about Hawaii during the round trip, which was very helpful. They also provided thorough instructions during snorkeling. The snorkeling masks were of good quality, designed to prevent water from entering through the nozzle. On that day, there were quite a few waves, and while swimming, I occasionally got splashed, but since water didn’t come in from above, it was easy to swim.

The snorkeling time was about an hour, but it flew by as I was swimming and looking for fish. I couldn't find any turtles, but I was able to see various types of fish, which was enjoyable.

12時30分からの午後の回に参加しました。参加者はラッキーなことに私達だけ。ガイドさんいわく、午前は9人の参加だったそうで、時間を有効に使えるからか、午前のほうが人気とのこと。午後は海の温度が上がっているので午前より水が冷たくないので冷たいのが嫌な方は午後のほうがいいかもしれません。
ハワイで20年以上暮らしているというガイドさんは往復の移動中もハワイのことを色々と教えてくれて、ためになりました。
シュノーケルの際も丁寧に教えてくれます。シュノーケルのマスクはいいもので、ノズルの先から水が入らないようになっています。この日は波がかなりあって、泳いでいるときも時々波をかぶることがあったのですが、上から水が入らないので泳ぎやすかったです。
シュノーケルの時間は1時間程度とのことですが、魚を探して泳いでいたらあっという間に過ぎてしまいました。亀は見つけられませんでしたが、色々な種類の魚を観ることが出来て、楽しかったです。

I had wanted to try this for a long time. I finally fulfilled my wish and went for it. I was unsure about the height, but I decided on 120 meters! In the end, I didn't feel scared at all and thought I could have gone even higher. I was also worried about getting seasick, but that was fine. The staff's high energy and brightness lifted my spirits, and before I knew it, it was over without even having time to feel seasick. Next time, I definitely want to participate again.

以前から一度チャレンジしてみたいと思ってました。
やっと念願かなって飛びました。
高さをどうしょうか‥と悩みましたが‥120メートルに決定！
結果‥全く怖さも感じずもっと高くても良かったかも‥と思いました
心配してた船酔いも、大丈夫でした。
スタッフのテンションの高さや明るさで、気分も上がり‥船酔いする間も無くあっという間に終了‥次回‥また参加したいです。

We boarded the ship with a total of four groups, and they guided us to our journey in the sky efficiently and safely!

Since we departed early in the morning, the sunlight wasn't too strong, making it quite pleasant! We'll come back to visit again!

計4組で船に乗船し、手際よく安全に
空の旅へと誘ってくれました‼

朝一から出発したので、
日射しも強くなくて心地よかったです！
また遊びに行きます！

From check in with the staff at the office to Our instructor Christian and Captain Steve and the rest of the crew, the whole day was outstanding! Great instruction, kindness, patience, and clean equipment.

Hawaii is perfect for snorkeling! I have done it many times before, but I have never had a chance to get so close to sea creatures. Molokini Island is a moon shaped underwater volcano crater and it is one of the most famous snorkeling destinations in Hawaii. Hawaiians take good care of their ocean and have many rules to obey in it and one of them in not to touch anything in the water, which I just loved, you can get as close as possible but still have to respect animals. It is very nice to see that animals are totally relaxed here and would really come close to you if you dont attempt to jump on them. We had an amazing team, we had 2 stops for snorkling and the experience was just magical. Maybe you should consider to take a heli tour around there as well, as the views from above are just amazing and give you a real chance to enjoy the moon shape of the island! I twas a fantastic tour and I totally recommend everyone to get on it!

It was a completely new experience... The instruction was thorough, making it easy to understand, and I had a great time snorkeling. Time flew by, and I felt it wasn't enough, so I couldn't say I was completely satisfied!

Thank you very much.

全くはじめての体験、、、丁寧に教えて頂き
分かり易く、楽しくシュノーケリング出来ました。
あっという間に時間が過ぎ、物足りないので
大満足の大は、付けられませんでした！

ありがとうございました。

I was a bit worried that 150 meters would be scary, but it felt amazing! The boat was really rocky on the way to the parasailing spot, so I took motion sickness medication, but I still got seasick. However, I'm glad I participated.

150メートルにしたので、怖いかなと不安でしたが最高に気持ち良かったです！パラセーリングスポットに着くまで船が凄く揺れたため、酔い止め服用しましたが船酔いしてしまいました。でも。参加してよかったです。

The driver for the pickup, the parasailing crew, and the staff were able to communicate even without speaking Japanese, and since three out of the four groups were Japanese, I had no worries at all.

I couldn't take pictures of myself while flying, so I asked the crew to take photos, and they captured some natural expressions, which became a wonderful memory. Instead of buying photos, I received an SD card with dozens of pictures for $30, so I felt it was worth it to request the shoot.

I chose a height of 120 meters this time. I was torn between 120 meters and 150 meters, and before the experience, I was scared, so I opted for 120 meters. However, it was not scary at all, and the moment I was rising into the sky was just the best. I felt like I could have gone even higher, so I think I would be totally fine with 150 meters. I was worried about the boat's rocking and took motion sickness medicine, but when the boat was moving fast, it was a bit scary, yet refreshing, so I didn't feel nauseous. The weather was cloudy and a bit chilly, but since the wind wasn't strong, it was calm while I was in the air.

Before going, I was unsure about the tip amount. I had planned to give 10% of the fee for two people, but since I didn't have small change, I ended up giving $20 for both of us.

Next time, I want to try 150 meters!

送迎のドライバーさん、パラセイリングのクルー、スタッフの方は、日本語が話せなくても、カタコトで伝わりましたし、今回は、4組中３組が日本人のメンバーだったせいか、全く不安がなかったです。
自分では、飛んでる姿を撮影できないのでクルーに撮影してもらい自然な表情が撮れていて、とても良い記念になりました。写真を買うのではなく、何十枚も撮影してくれたSDカードを頂けるので３０ドル出しても撮影をお願いして良かったと思います。
高さは、今回120ｍにしました。150ｍと迷いましたが体験する前は怖くて120ｍにしましたが全く怖くなくてグングン空に上がっていく時が、もう最高でした。もっともっと上がれ～という感じだったので150ｍでも全然大丈夫だと思いました。船の揺れも心配して酔い止めを飲んで挑みましたが、船が高速で進む時がちょっと怖くて、でも爽快だったので、酔いもなかったです。天気は曇りで肌寒い日でしたが、風が強くなかったので空にいるときも穏やかでした。
行く前はチップの金額に悩みましたが、２名分の料金の10％をお渡ししようと思っていましたが、細かいお金がなかったため、２名で参加して合わせて２０ドルお渡ししました。
今度は、150ｍ挑戦してみたいです。
