All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I was able to participate easily even though I couldn't exercise.

The staff's response was good, and I had a great time.

It was a bit inconvenient that there was no Japanese support, but it wasn't a problem.

運動ができなくても気軽にできました

スタッフの対応も良くて楽しかったです

日本語対応をしてなかったので少し不便でしたが、問題ありませんでした

I was able to take a lot of photos (you can purchase an SD card), and I made some great memories. I went with 120m, but I wondered if I could have done 150m as well.

たくさん写真を撮っていただき（SDを購入出来ます）いい思い出が出来ました。
120mにしたのですが、150mでもいけたかな？と思いました。

It goes higher than I expected.
And the view from the top was amazing!
Although you are identified by a sticker based on the height you signed up for, I didn't feel much difference in height.
I recommend it because you can enjoy Hawaii from the sky.

思ったよりも高くあがります。
そして、上から見た景色は素晴らしかったです！
一応、申し込んだ高さによってシールで識別されていますが、高さに差はあまり感じられませんでした。
ハワイを空から楽しめるので、お勧めです。

I participated in a group lesson. The instructor was very kind and taught us in a detailed manner, which was great.

グループレッスンに参加しました。インストラクターの方がとても親切で丁寧に教えてくれたので、よかったです。

Good activities. Well organised
Bus driver/guide was very informative and friendly.

Wauw, this was so nice, beautiful "dive" space on scooter, beautiful fish. My husband (non swimmer) even went with me and very proud of him that he did it :)

I reserved a 130m flight. I was able to see the scenery, but the flying time was quite short. I didn't have any particular concerns.

130mを予約しました。景色もみれましたが、飛んでる時間がかなり短かった。
特に不安に思うことはなかった。

I saw that they were giving away a photo DVD (worth $25) as a nice keepsake, so my wife and I signed up for a semi-private lesson. After the lesson, we received a DVD that contained a total of 435 photos, but we only appeared in 27 of them. Moreover, 11 of those were of us paddling back to shore. Including blurry and poorly taken shots, there were only 16 decent photos of us standing. There were about 10 good photos in total. I will never use this school again.

☆レッスン中の写真DVD（$25相当）をプレゼント！☆ と書いていたので良い記念になると思って、家内と２人でセミプライベートレッスンを申し込んだ。
レッスン後に受け取ったDVDには全部で435枚の写真が入っていたが、そのうちで自分たちが映っていたのはたったの27枚。
しかも、そのうちの11枚は岸に戻ってくるパドリング姿。
落ちかけやピンボケを含んで立っている姿は２人合わせてたったの16枚。
まともな写真は10枚程度。
2度とここのスクールを使うことは無い。

I used to think 90 meters was nothing, but the sea in Waikiki was incredibly refreshing and moving. Next time, I want to challenge myself to 120 meters.

９０メートルなんて馬鹿にしていましたがワイキキの海は大変爽快で感動いたしました。今度は１２０メートルに挑戦したいと思います。

The staff was cheerful, and it was a very enjoyable experience. I was a bit worried because the explanations were in English, but I managed to get through it. The swaying was quite severe, so my child got motion sickness.

陽気なスタッフでとても楽しい経験でした。説明が英語だったので少し不安でしたが、何とか過ごせました。揺れがひどかったので子供が酔ってしまいました。

There was a mixup with our reservation. We reserved through Veltra for a Thursday. Veltra confirmed that it was for Thursday. We showed up and no one was there. We called Kauai Outfitters who let us know that we were on the books for Friday. I contacted Veltra afterwards and they apologized and offered a partial refund, which I appreciate. I would suggest calling Kauai Outfitters to double check that the dates are right, to be on the safe side.

We went back on Friday and had a great time. The guides were wonderful. The tour was great. The zip line was so amazing. We were bitten by mosquitoes, so bring bug spray. We were in a small group of 10 people and 4 guides, so it was a personalized experience and we had tons of time to talk to the guides. We would definitely do another tour with Kauai Outfitters.

I was generally good with transportation, but I ended up getting seasick while waiting on the boat. I think motion sickness medication is necessary. The view was beautiful, with a higher altitude than when I experienced it in Bali, and I could see all of Waikiki Beach. ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

乗り物には強い方でしたが船で待機している時間に船酔いをしてしまいました。酔い止めは必要だと思います。以前バリで体験した時より高度が高くワイキキビーチを一望でき綺麗でした╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

I had a great time diving. It had been a long time since my last dive so I considered myself a "beginner". Great staff and very helpful every step of the way.

I highly recommend them!

Everyone was really nice, and I had a great time!! The water was shallow enough to stand, which was reassuring. The waves kept coming, and they were gentle, making it easy for beginners to ride, which was great!! The instructor was friendly and made it fun ( ¨̮ )

However, after the session, there was no explanation about when we could go back or if there would be a bus to take us. When I asked, I was told the bus wouldn't come for 40 minutes, so I ended up walking back. That was a bit disappointing...

とてもみんないい人ばかりで楽しかったです！！
深さも足がつくくらいだったので安心でした。
波も次々に来てたくさん出来たし緩い波だったので初心者には乗りやすくて良かったです！！
インストラクターの方もフレンドリーで楽しかったです( ¨̮ )

ただ終わってからがいつ帰っていいとかバスで送迎してくれるとかの説明が無く、聞いたらバスが40分来ないと言われ結局歩いて帰りました。
そこだけが少し残念でした、、、

There was a mix-up with the pickup on the way, which led to me having to call the tour company and wait for about an hour, but I was eventually picked up and taken to Kailua. As an apology for the mix-up, they provided a free bike rental, and the staff were very kind and attentive, which was great.

In previous Kailua tours, I couldn't store my luggage, but with this plan, I was able to use a locker, so I didn't have to carry valuables to the beach, and I could leave my change of clothes, which was super convenient. Thanks to the rental bikes, I was able to visit Lanikai Beach and enjoy snorkeling. In the afternoon, I also had a great time shopping in Kailua Town. It was truly a fun day. I would like to sign up for this tour again the next time I go to Kailua. Thank you!

行きのお迎えの手違いでツアー会社に電話したり小1時間待つというハプニングがありましたが無事にピックアップしてもらいカイルアに。
手違いのお詫びに自転車を無料レンタルして頂いたりスタッフの方も親切に対応してくれてとてもちゃんとフォローしてくれたので良かったです。
今までのカイルアツアーだと手荷物を預けたりできなかったのですがこちらのプランだとロッカーに荷物預けられたので貴重品を海に持ち歩かなくてよいし着替えも置いとけるのですごい便利でした。
レンタル自転車のおかげでラニカイビーチも行くことができてシュノーケリングを堪能することができました。そして午後からはカイルアタウンでショッピングも満喫してホントに楽しい1日でした。次回、またカイルア行く際にもこのツアーを申し込みたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

My first parasailing experience.
It was arranged locally, and everything went very smoothly. The weather was perfect, and I had a great time. Even the argument I had with my spouse the night before was forgotten.
On the way back, we were even sent off by a pod of dolphins... I highly recommend it!

初めてのパラセーリング。
現地手配でしたが非常にスムーズでした。天気も最高で楽しめました。前夜の夫婦喧嘩も吹っ飛んでしまいました。
帰りはイルカの群れのお見送りまで‥‥おすすめです!

I have always been plagued by rain during my previous two visits, but this time I finally enjoyed the beautiful blue of Lanikai Beach. The kayaking was pleasant, and the staff was friendly, which made me very satisfied. I would love to participate again.

これまで２回は常に雨にたたられてましたが、
今回はやっと晴れてラニカイビーチのキレイなブルーを堪能出来ました。カヤックも気持ち良くて
スタッフもフレンドリーで満足でした。
また参加したいですね。

I was wondering if I would get drunk, but I didn't feel drunk at all. The view was amazing, and it felt great!

The staff was very kind, and at the end, I even received a juice!

I'm glad I did this!

酔ったりするかな？と思ったけど
全く酔うこともなく
眺めもすごく良くて
気持ちよかったです！

スタッフもとても親切で
最後にジュースまで
いただきました！

やってよかったです！

This is a must do thing to do when visiting Hawaii especially if you want to see Hawaii's state fish. Dan and Chieko were great .

Only sad thing is that we wanted to stay longer but unable to.

It was my first experience, and it was scarier than I had imagined. I was screaming while flying (laughs). However, the view was amazing, and I had a lot of fun!

初めての経験で想像していたよりも怖くて、飛んでいる間は叫んでました（笑）
でも、眺めも最高でとても楽しかったです！

I had a reservation for 8 AM on April 30th (Sunday). However, when I woke up, it was cold and raining, and I wondered if it would be okay. I got ready anyway, and just as I was about to leave, the phone in my room rang. They informed me that due to the rain, it was canceled. I managed to catch that I could reschedule for the afternoon or another time, and in the end, I moved it to the next day (May 1st) at 12:00 PM. Since it was rainy and cold all day, I think it would have been canceled even if I had changed the time.

Rescheduling for the next day was definitely the right choice! The weather cleared up, and the sky was bright blue. It was perfect for parasailing. There were no other Japanese people in the group; instead, there were Chinese, Australians, Spanish speakers, and people from Colorado, so we didn’t take pictures of each other. I put my smartphone in a waterproof case with a strap and off we went into the sky! It was beautiful and breathtaking. I did take some photos with my smartphone, but the weather was so nice that I couldn’t see the screen well and had to rely on instinct to take the shots.

When we came down, we splashed into the sea, but it was just a little bit on my backside. However, others seemed to be getting soaked up to their chests, and it looked like they were having fun with it.

The staff took some great photos for us, which I purchased for $30. Unfortunately, I lost the SD card with the photos in the sea afterward (crying).

The boat was very bumpy, so motion sickness medication is a must. Also, try to enjoy the distant views and laugh! I think that helps with not getting seasick. A Chinese girl looked like she was feeling unwell.

I debated between 120 meters and 150 meters, but 120 meters was more than enough.

For reference, I gave a $20 tip for two people when we got off.

4/30(日)の朝8時に予約していました。でも起きると寒くて雨降ってるし大丈夫かな？と思いながらとりあえず準備。準備も整えてさあ行こう！と思ったところで部屋の電話が鳴りました。
今朝は雨で中止とのこと。午後とか違う時間にリスケジュールしてくださいっていうのは何とか聞き取れて、結局次の日(5/1月)の12:00にしてもらいました。
一日中雨で寒かったので、多分時間をずらしても中止になっていたと思います。

次の日にして大正解！！天気は回復して真っ青な空。
パラセイリング日和でした。
乗り合わせたのは日本人は他にはいなくて中国人やオーストラリア人やスペイン語圏の人とコロラドから来た人たちだったので、写真を撮りあうことはしませんでした。
自分のスマホをストラップ付きの防水ケースに入れていざ上空へ！！
とてもきれいで感動でした。
スマホで写真を撮るには撮りましたが、天気が良すぎて液晶が見えずに勘で撮るしかなかったです。

降りてくるときには海にチャポンってしてくれましたがおしりがちょっとつく程度でした。
でも他の人は胸まで浸からせたり、お客さんを見ていろいろやってるみたいです。

スタッフの人が撮ってくれた写真はとても良く撮れてました。30ドルで購入です。
しかし、せっかく購入した写真のSDカード、そのあと海でなくしてしまいました(泣)

ボートはとても揺れるので酔い止めは必須です。
そしてなるべく遠くの眺めに感動しながら笑ってましょう！その方が酔わないと思います。
中国人の女の子は気持ち悪そうにしてました。

120ｍと150ｍと迷いましたが、120ｍで充分でした。

参考までに、チップは二人参加で降りるときに20ドル渡しました。

I participated in the afternoon tour, but it ended up being just kayaking around Keauhou Bay and snorkeling only within the bay, leaving us with quite a bit of extra time. There was no explanation provided on-site, so when I returned to Japan, I inquired about why we didn't go to Keauhou Bay. I understand the reason related to the weather (it was indeed quite choppy and cold), but I found it a bit questionable to mention our physical fitness and kayaking skills as issues. Do they change the route if there are beginners? At the very least, if there had been some explanation on-site, I would have felt a bit more satisfied, but I was a little disappointed this time.

午後ツアーに参加しましたが、
ケアウホウ湾付近のカヤックと、
ケアウホウ湾内だけのシュノーケルで終わってしまい、
時間が大分余ってしまいました。
現地では何の説明も無いまま終わってしまったので、
日本に帰ってきてからクアモオ湾まで行かなかった理由を伺いました。
天候のせい（確かに波が高く、寒かったです）という理由は分かりますが、
私たちの体力やカヤック技術の問題にまで言及するのはちょっと疑問でした。
初心者の人がいるとルートを変えるのでしょうか？
せめて現地で何らかの説明があればもう少し納得がいくのですが、
今回は少しがっかりしました。

It was a three-person ride based on the guide's judgment. The view of the city and Diamond Head from above, as well as the ocean, was very pleasant. My parents, who are over 60, also enjoyed the 120 meters. ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

ガイドさんの判断んで3人乗りでした。
上空からの街やダイヤモンドヘッドの景色、海もとっても気持ちよかったです。60歳超えの両親も120mを楽しんでいました٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

Such a great day! A fantastic way to discover the north shore, just the right blend between organized activities and free time! I would do it again without hesitation

I gifted a parasailing activity as a wedding present for a couple of friends. I also participated, and I was very satisfied! I chose the height of 150 meters, and it felt like I was a bird. Although it was separate from the activity fee, I purchased a GoPro video and photos taken with a DSLR. These are pictures that you can't take yourself, so I highly recommend them.

*To catch the wind for parasailing, the speedboat moves at quite a pace. If you are prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking anti-nausea medication beforehand.

友人カップルへの結婚祝いでパラセイリングアクティビティをプレゼントしました。
私も乗りましたが、大満足でした！高さ150mにしましたが、鳥になった気持ちを味わいました。アクティビティ代と別ですが、Go Proのビデオと一眼レフで撮影された写真を購入しました。自分では撮れない写真たちなので、オススメです。

＊パラセイリングを風に乗せるために、結構なスピードでスピードボートが動きます。酔いやすい方は事前に酔い止めをしっかり飲むのをおすすめです。

Really truly awesome, friendly, and knowledgeable people. Honestly they were just as cool as the actual diving experience. If I'd been able to spend more time on the island I would have just completed my certification through them. 5 stars.

My two 11-year-old daughters had their first experience. Both of them enjoyed it without being scared, saying it was fun and beautiful! It was a very good experience. However, I did get seasick. Also, I didn't have the $30 for the photo fee, so I couldn't request any, which was disappointing. Fortunately, I did have enough for the tip, so that was good.

11歳の娘二人が、初体験しました。
二人とも、怖がることなく、楽しい！キレイ！
と、とても良い経験できました。
ただ、船は酔いました。
あと、写真代の30ドルを持ってなかったので、
頼めなくて、残念。かろうじて、チップ代は
あったので、良かった。

We chose the morning Kayak tour, it was a bit of a walk to get to the dock but were greeted warmly by Hauoli, our guide, and Ben. We stowed our valuables in their lock box and paddled out into Keauhou Bay and out into the ocean past the Sheraton Hotel, the Lekeleke/Kuamo'o sacred burial grounds, and the End of the World burial grounds which is a great tourist spot too. We got to the Sea Cave but because the swells were too high and dangerous that day, we admired them from outside. Our guide, Hauoli, made our tour so much fun. He regaled us with the history and attractions of the area, and being a local, was very knowledgeable and interesting. We did not stay for snorkeling or cliff jumping but thoroughly enjoyed our time kayaking.

We started early in the morning. The driver for our pickup couldn't speak any Japanese, but he did his best to communicate with gestures. The weather wasn't great for parasailing, as it was cloudy. However, once we took off, it felt amazing!!! It was the best! The other passengers were also having a great time.

110 meters is quite high, but I was able to enjoy the view and the height without feeling scared! The boat does rock quite a bit. If there are many participants, the wait time can be long, so if you're not good on boats, definitely take motion sickness medication. If you do get sick, just let them know, and they'll guide you to a spot with wind and give you a bucket, haha.

The photographer, who also seemed to be in charge of preparations, took photos for $30 per SD card. The quality was okay. Since we couldn't take pictures ourselves and the other passengers were feeling seasick, we decided to buy it. They did capture some nice smiling photos and a few scenic shots, so I felt it was worth it.

It's a good idea to give a tip of around $10. At the end, they ask everyone for tips, so you can give it at that moment. Haha.

早朝のスタートにしました。
送迎のドライバーさんは日本語全くできませんでしたがジェスチャーで頑張って伝えてくれます。
パラセイリングは天候に恵まれず曇り。しかし飛び立つと最高に気持ちがいい！！！！！
最高です！一緒に同乗した方々もとても楽しんでおられました。
110メートルはかなり高いですが恐怖感なく景色を見たり高さを楽しめました！
船はかなり揺れます。参加人数が多いと待ち時間も長くなるので船が苦手な方は必ず酔い止めが必要です。酔ったら自己申告すると風の当たるところに誘導されバケツを渡されますよwww

写真はカメラマンさん兼準備担当みたいなお兄さんがSDカード1枚30ドルで撮影してくれますが内容はまあまです。でもスマホ等では自分たちは撮影できないし同乗の方々が船酔いしていたので購入しましたがNICEな笑顔の写真や風景も少し撮ってくれるので私は買ってよかったなと思います。
チップは10ドル程度渡しましょう。最後にみなさんチップ下さい～と言われますのでそのタイミングで渡せば良いです。ww

If you're lucky, you might encounter sea turtles, and on the day of our participation, two sea turtles were swimming around the boat. When we dove into the water, we were able to see them up close. The experience of diving with sea turtles became a wonderful memory. The captain was also kind, and we had a great time. However, even if the weather is good, the boat does sway when you head out to sea. A friend of mine got seasick, so I think it's essential for those considering this to prepare for seasickness. My friend mentioned that hunger and fatigue were also issues, so since the participation is early in the morning, make sure to have breakfast and get enough sleep beforehand.

運が良ければ海亀に会えるということでしたが、参加当日は二頭もの海亀が船の周りを泳いでいて、水中に潜った時もすぐ近くで見ることができました。
海亀と一緒に潜る経験は良い思い出になりました。
船長さんも親切で楽しく過ごせました。
ただ、天気が良くても沖に出ますのでどうしても船が揺れます。友達が船酔いでダウンしたので、検討中の方は船酔い対策は必須だと思います。
空腹と疲労が悪かったと友達が言っていたので、参加が早い時間ですので朝食と早めの睡眠はちゃんととっておきましょう。
