All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I really enjoyed the 2 hour guided kayak tour with Tomo. As we were just three in our group we made faster progress than normal so Tomo took us for a visit to Lanikai beach first before we continued on to Flat Island. I enjoyed the walk on the island as Tomo told us lots of interesting facts about it. Time flew by and too soon we had to return to the beach. I definitely recommend this tour even to newcomers and Tomo was a great guide to have.

I enjoyed the lesson that I signed up for the night before, starting at 12 PM the next day. The instructor communicated in English and simple Japanese. I was able to rent shoes, so I could enjoy the experience without worrying about my feet. The other customers were also friendly, and I had a great time.

前日夜に申し込み翌日12時からのレッスンが楽しめました。
インストラクターはえいごと簡単なにほんごで声をかけてくれます。シューズもかりれたので足元もリーフで切る心配なく楽しめました。他のお客さんも和気あいあいとした感じでとてもいい時間が過ごせまぢた。

Such a wicked day which was enhanced by Lono and his approach to the group and how he chatted with us about all & sundry. He had such a vast knowledge of the land which was an added bonus :)
Would definitely recommend the tour.
The whole experience was wicked!!

I participated in a private lesson.
The instructor spoke really simple Japanese, but it was basically in English. But that was okay.
I received one-on-one instruction in the shallow sea and was able to stand on the board right away.
Since the pier extends out into the sea, parents can watch from there. I took a lot of photos.
Thank you, teacher.

プライベートレッスンに参加しました。
先生はホントに簡単な日本語だけで、基本的には英語です。でも大丈夫です。
遠浅の海でマンツーマンで教えてもらい、
すぐにボードに立てるようになりました。
桟橋が沖まで出ているので、親はそこから見学できます。写真も沢山取りました。
先生ありがとうございました。

It was a blast. To anyone who's ever considered trying a Jet Ski this is the place to do it. The guys on the barge recommended using their goggles and it was definitely worth being able to see through the salty spray.

I definitely want to recommend this to anyone going to Hawaii!

You can look out over Honolulu as if you were a bird! I chose the 150M option, but the height was the same as those who chose the 40M option; it seems that the length of the rope was different. The longer the rope, the longer the time spent in the air. Those who chose the 40M option returned in no time, but it didn't seem like they felt unsatisfied.

We flew towards the end of our stay in Honolulu, so we were able to enjoy the view while reminiscing about the places we had visited.

Motion sickness medication is a must. I had run out of motion sickness medication from another tour, so I only used a Sea-Band, and I was fine, but my partner felt a bit nauseous. Surprisingly, it sways more in the air, being pulled by the parasail, than it does on the boat.

ハワイに行く人には絶対お勧めしようと思いました！

ホノルルを鳥になったような気分で見渡すことができます！150Mを選びましたが、40Mを選んだ人と高さは変わらず、どうやらロープの長さが違うようでした。ロープが長いほど、空の滞在時間が長いみたいです。40Mの人はあっという間に帰ってきましたが、それでも物足りない感じはしなかったようです。

私たちはホノルル滞在の最後の方に飛んだので、行った場所を思い出しながら眺めることができました。

酔い止めは必須です。酔い止めを他のツアーで飲みきってしまっていたので、シーバンドだけで対策しましたが、私は大丈夫でしたが、パートナーは少し酔っていました。船上よりも、意外と空の上の方がパラソルに引っ張られてグイングイン揺れます。

Zoe and Natalie were amazing guides. Both were friendly, patient and informative. We loved the kayaking and for me it was my first time snorkeling. We battled sun, wind and a rain storm-very interesting. Lunch at the end was just the icing on the cake. Starving after all our hard work! Only change I would suggest, would be to put in changing rooms, as not so nice trying to get dressed and dry in the toilets.

Thank you Zoe and Natalie.

Me and some friends did parasailing for the first time and it was awesome!!!! We had no idea what to expect and it was incredible. The views were amazing and the guys running the boat were a blast! Highly recommend this company!

This is my third time riding this during the day, and I really love it! Rather than the calm atmosphere of the sunset, it's the best to splash through the waves and run while getting wet and squealing with excitement! Now, I finally feel like, "Ah, I've come to Hawaii!" I definitely recommend this activity to everyone around me. As long as it doesn't rain, you can truly enjoy Hawaii with the blue sea, blue sky, and refreshing breeze.

日中乗るのはこれで3回目ですが、これは本当に気持ちよくて大好きです！
サンセットの落ち着いた雰囲気よりも、わざと波しぶきをあげて進み、波に濡れてキャーキャー騒ぎながら走るのが最高です！
いまではこれに乗ってようやく、「あ〜、ハワイに来たなぁ」と感じるくらいになりました♪
周囲にも断然オススメしているアクティビティーです。
雨さえ降らなければ、青い海と青い空とさわやかな風とで、本当にハワイを満喫できます。

Fantastic experience with professional and fun guides. We booked this activity due to the diversity of the kayak-swim-zipline activities offered, which we thought would be perfect for our group of 6 ranging in age from 11 to 68. We were not disappointed. Easygoing and fun tour guides, great activities and a relaxed and fun atmosphere, coupled with a great lunch made for an overall epic day. Book it!

It was an incredibly beautiful sea, and it was a very precious experience. Both Chieko and Dan provided very careful guidance, so my daughter and wife, who can't swim, enjoyed snorkeling without any anxiety! I signed up after reading the reviews, so it was disappointing that we didn't see any sea turtles. I brought an underwater camera, and when I looked at the photos later, I was surprised to see so many different kinds of fish! I actually saw them, though (laughs). Since it was a long snorkeling session, I was really thirsty towards the end. We received water after snorkeling, but I think it would be better to distribute it beforehand so we could take a sip or two before heading out. I thought it was just me, but my daughter also said she was so thirsty she thought she might die (of course, she was joking). If I get to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely repeat this tour! I'm also happy that there's a service to download photos from the internet. I'll definitely go again!

メチャメチャ綺麗な海で、とても貴重な体験でした。Chiekoさんも、Danさんもとても丁寧に指導してくれたので、泳げない娘と嫁も不安なくシュノーケリングを楽しみました！クチコミを読んで申し込んだので、ウミガメが見られなかった事だけが残念です。水中で使えるカメラを持って行ったのですが、後で写真を見たら、本当に色々な種類の魚達が写っていて驚きました！実際見ているのですが（笑）。長時間のシュノーケリングだったので、後半は喉が渇いてカラカラになっていました。シュノーケル後にお水を頂きましたが、先に配って頂いて、一口二口飲んでから出発の方が良いと思います。僕だけかと思っていたら、娘も喉がカラカラで死ぬかと思った（勿論冗談ですが）と、言ってました。またハワイに行けたら、このツアーはリピートありです！ネットから写真をダウンロード出来るのも嬉しいサービスです。また行きま～す！

We were both complete beginners, but we participated without a guide. When going without a guide, there are no lessons on paddling or anything like that. After watching a video and putting on the life jackets, we were given the kayaks and had to make our way to the sea on our own. My husband and I managed to reach the uninhabited island, but I recommend going with a guide for first-timers.

The sea was incredibly beautiful, and the view from the uninhabited island was amazing. During our free time, we borrowed snorkeling gear and had fun. It seems my husband has become quite fond of kayaking. Everyone at the shop was very nice, so I would love to participate again if I get the chance.

夫婦揃って全くの初心者でしたが、ガイドなしで参加しました。ガイドなしの場合、漕ぎ方などのレッスンはありません。ビデオ見て救命具着けたらカヤックが渡され、自力で海まで行きます。主人と2人で何とか無人島まで行くことは出来ましたが、初めての方はガイドありをお勧めします。
海はとっても綺麗で、無人島からの眺めも最高でした。空いた時間にはシュノーケルを借りて遊びました。主人はカヤックにはまった様です。ショップの方は皆さん良い方だったので、また機会があれば参加したいです。

My wife and I attended this combo excursion looking for the thrill of Jet Skiiing and Parasailing. However, we did not have a good experience. The customer service by the vendors before we left for the boat was horrible. They seemed to be servicing people like them first before getting to us. We are not racist people but it is discouraging when we were there first and serviced last just because we did not speak their language.

The jet ski excursion was boring, riding around in just circles. We have done other jet ski excursions before where we got to go around the lagoon versus just going in circles for 30 minutes.

The only bright side to this excursion was the parasailing adventure which was fun and awesome. But, overall the vendors and the jet ski excursion was horrible.

The view is breathtaking! The heights vary depending on the course, which made it a bit confusing, but I saw in other reviews that 150 meters is good, so I went with that. I don't know about the other heights, but I think 150 was the right choice. Lastly, there are photo sales at the end, so it's a good idea to bring a small amount of money.

絶景＾０＾　コースよって高さが違い迷いましたが他の書き込みにも150メートルがいいと書いてあり１５０にしました。　他の高さを知りませんが150で正解だったと思います。　最後に写真の販売などあるので少額のお金は持って行くといいですよ。

I was able to see fish and turtles right in front of me, but I didn't think I would get wet. However, when getting into the scooter, you have to put your face in the water, so it's better for women to be prepared to get a little wet.＾０＾

目の前で魚やカメなど見れましたが、濡れないと思ってけどスクーターに入る際には顔を水につけるので顔は濡れるので女性は少しは濡れてもいい準備をした方がいいですね＾０＾

It was my first time paddle surfing, but I had a great time. I was able to get on the board right away after being taught how to paddle, so it's a tour that's enjoyable even for beginners. I recommend it for anyone who wants to try paddle surfing!

初めてのパドルサーフィンだったけど十分楽しめた。漕ぎ方を教えてもらってすぐに乗れたから初心者でも楽しめるツアー。パドルサーフィンやってみたい方にはオススメ！

With the instructor's signal, we paddled hard and rode the waves in the canoe. We even encountered a sea turtle along the way, which was a delight. During our third attempt, we were able to ride some really impressive waves, and it was a lot of fun!

インストラクターの方の合図とともに、一気に漕いで 波に乗るというカヌー。途中で海ガメにも遭遇し 大喜び。3回目のチャレンジではかなり迫力ある波乗り出来て楽しかったです！

It was a great experience sailing with the captain and crew. There were only about 8 other people traveling with us. It was nice and intimate, it was late afternoon. You get dry snacks like crackers and chips and two drink voucher. They even opened up a champagne for us when we told him we are on our honeymoon.

The view was beautiful. Seeing the sail being raised was amazing. It was a very relaxing one hour of our day.

Kayaking on the ocean with Kailua Beach Adventures might be one of the best activities we did for our honeymoon. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and give us some great information about the culture and islands.

My husband and I both have done kayaking before, but has never done it in the ocean. There were some waves and it can be a little challenging for those who have never done kayaking before.

One thing to be prepared is some labour work. You need to drag your own kayak to the ocean with a cart they provide. You also need to drag it back. It was not super far, but definitely energy consuming. Most staff members are very friendly. I had a little hard time jumping into the kayak with the waves, the person looked a little annoyed with that and had a bad attitude. She might just be having a bad day.

During the kayak, they have professional photographers taking photos of your group and you can purchase them at the end of your tour for $39. There were about 40 in the package. The lunch coupon gives you three or four lunch choices nearby. Mostly box lunches or pizza with a drink.

I forgot one of my my shopping bags at their shop and called them the next day, they had it sent to my hotel, which was very nice!

We had an overall wonderful experience. We will definitely do it again given the chance!

Engaging staff explained everything thoroughly
Great adventure and an easy way to get below the surface and see the life there

I want to try SUP that I saw on TV and at Waikiki when I go to Hawaii! If possible, I also want to eat pancakes in Kailua and look for places to do that in Kailua.

On the day, the wind was stronger than I expected, and as a first-timer, I was worried if I would be okay. However, thanks to our guide MIEKO, it became a very enjoyable and memorable SUP experience.

First, we received a lesson at the shop, and then we pulled our boards to the water and headed from the river to the ocean. Due to the strong wind and my weak core, I struggled to paddle while standing properly on the way to the uninhabited island, and I even fell into the sea a couple of times. However, I learned tips on how to get back on the board, so by the time we returned, I was able to stand and paddle properly.

After SUP, we had lunch (the pizza was delicious!), and during our free time afterward, we rented bicycles to go to Kailua town, where I was able to enjoy the pancakes I was aiming for. MIEKO was very kind, arranging for us to ride in a staff member's car to Waikiki at a later time than originally planned.

I definitely want to challenge myself to SUP here again next year!

テレビやワイキキの海でやっていたSUPを、ハワイに行ったらやりたい！
できるならカイルアの街でパンケーキも食べたいし、カイルアの海でやっているところを、と
思って探していました。
当日の風は思ったより強く、本当に大丈夫かしら・・・と初体験の私は心配でしたが
ガイドのMIEKOさんのおかげでとても楽しく、思い出深いSUPとなりました。
最初、お店で講習を受けて、そのあと自分たちでボードのカートを引っ張って持っていき
川から海に出ていきました。
風が強いせいと、私の体幹が弱いせいか、行きの無人島まではなかなかちゃんと立ってこぐことができず、途中バランスを崩して海に落ちたりもしましたが、
自分でボードに上がるコツも教えてもらっていたので、帰りの最後はちゃんとボードに立ってこぐこともできました。
SUPの後はランチ（ピザ、美味しかったです！）を食べて、そのあとの自由時間にはカイルアの街までレンタサイクルも借りれて、お目当てのパンケーキも無事に食べることができたし
MIEKOさんの計らいで、帰りの予定の時間よりも遅い時間にワイキキまで行くスタッフの人の車に乗せてもらえたり、と
とても親切にしてもらえました。
来年もまたぜひここでSUPに挑戦したいな、と思っています♪

It was my first time trying stand-up paddle surfing. At first, I was anxious, but the instructor spoke fluent Japanese, which made me feel at ease during the lesson. I fell off the board several times, but by the end, I was able to stand properly, and it was a lot of fun. I thought I would like to try it again when I go to Hawaii.

初めてのスタンドアップパドル・サーフィンでした。最初は不安でしたがインストラクターは日本語ペラペラで安心してレッスンできました。　何度がボードから落ちましたが最後の方はちゃんと立てるようになりとても楽しかったです。またハワイい行ったとき挑戦したしと思いました。

This was our third trip to Hawaii as a couple. We signed up for parasailing to create memorable, Hawaii-like experiences. The weather was perfect on the day, and although we were at a height of 90 meters, I felt no fear at all; it was like being a bird. If we come to Hawaii again, I would love to go parasailing again. However, the shuttle bus was 30 minutes late, which made me quite anxious. I hope they can stick to the scheduled times.

夫婦二人で三回目のハワイ旅行。思い出に残るハワイらしいアクティビティをとパラセイリングを申し込みました。当日は最高のお天気で、90ｍの高さでしたが、恐怖もなく、まるで鳥になった気分でした。またハワイに来たら、またパラセイリングをまたやりたいです。ただ、送迎バスが30分遅れてきて、とても不安でした。送迎の時間は、守ってほしいですね。

I went for 150 meters! It's expensive! Really expensive! But it was fun!
There was a Japanese group riding as well, so we were able to take pictures together.

150mにしました！高い！ほんとに高い！でも楽しかったー！
日本人グループが他にも乗っていたので写真撮りあったり出来ました。

This was so fun. The boat trip and scooter ride were made so great by the 3 divers and the captain. The treated us all so well ....my mother who is 86 accompanied us and she had a great time...her first trip to HI. I cannot express to you how much fun this was. Now we are reliving this with friends and family via the DVD and pictures. I am ready to go again.

Such a generous tourguide, that Roy! Shared countless stories with us, snorkeled and showed us his favorite spots, brought us great treats, and most importantly treated us to a marvelous afternoon of kayaking and snorkeling at this remote spot of Hawaii. Don't hesitate to book the trip. A lasting memory and educational experience!

Did bobs scooters was fantastic could have booked another day if we weren't leaving the next day great clear water

At first, I was scared, but once I tried it, I got really excited. Plus, since I was last in line, there were all sorts of pranks, which made it even more fun!

だったので最初怖かったですが飛んでみたらすごくテンションが上がりました。さらに順番が最後だったので色々いたずらがあって面白かったです！！

This time, I planned a trip to Hawaii with my mother (79 years old) to show my appreciation for her. Since my mother loves the ocean, we participated in the "Underwater Scooter BOB Sea Bob Ocean Floor Walk & Snorkel Cruise."

On the day of the tour, we were picked up at a nearby hotel, but the driver only confirmed my name. He drove silently to the next pickup location, which felt a bit lonely since I had imagined a friendly Hawaiian atmosphere. Additionally, when we arrived at the shop, there was no explanation about the tour schedule, and they didn't say anything unless we asked, which left a rather unkind impression.

There were a total of 15 participants, with half of them being Japanese. After a somewhat broken Japanese explanation on how to use the underwater scooter, we boarded the boat and set off. There were three underwater scooters, so we took turns riding them. Since it seemed like I had some time before my turn, I decided to snorkel first. Although it was close to the boat, I had a great time seeing tropical fish swimming up close.

Finally, it was our turn to ride the underwater scooter. Operating the scooter was very easy; we just followed the instructor's hand signals (since we were underwater). I was amazed to see tropical fish gathering around the bait right in front of me.

And at the end, we encountered a Hawaiian turtle! My mother was very happy, and it was a satisfying tour.

今回は親孝行をするために母親（79歳）と私でハワイ旅行を計画。海が大好きな母親にハワイの海が見せたかったので「水中スクーターBOB・シーボブで海底散歩&シュノーケルクルーズ」に参加しました。
当日は近くのホテルでピックアップしてもらいましたが、運転手のお兄さんは私の名前を確認しただけ。無言で次のピックアップ先のホテルに向かって走って行ったので、ハワイアンのフレンドリーな感じを想像していた私にはちょっとさみしく感じました。またお店に到着してからも、ツアーの予定について説明はなく、こちらから聞かないと何も言ってくれなかったのは不親切な印象でした。
今回の参加者は全部で15人。半数が日本人の方でした。
水中スクーターの乗り方についてやや片言⁈の日本語説明があった後に船に乗り込み出発です。
水中スクーターは全部で3台だったので、1人ずつ順番に乗る事になってます。私の順番までは時間がありそうだったので、先にシュノーケルをやる事にしました。船の近くでのシュノーケルでしたが。熱帯の魚達が泳いでいるのを間近に見ることが出来て楽しかったです。
そしていよいよ私達が水中スクーターに乗る番になりました。水中スクーターの操作方法はインストラクターの方の言われる（水中だから手信号）ままに操作するだけなのでとても簡単でした。水中では目の前の餌に群がる熱帯の魚達を間近に見る事が出来て感動しました。
そして最後にはハワイのカメに遭遇！！
母親もたいへん喜んでいて、満足出来るツアーでした。

Big K and Special k were awesome! They were helpful and knowledgeable and they helped me get in my kayak from the water. They also let us cliff jump. It was great. They gave great instruction. This is fun and you will get a great arm workout!
