All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

We had such a fun time snorkeling. I would very much recommend this tour for first time snorkeling. Dan was so helpful and patient with everyone, and a BIG thank you from us for that. This experience defiantly left us wanting to do this again.

I'm generally not good with heights and I'm not a big fan of roller coasters, but I felt safe while parasailing and it was really fun to feel like I was floating. Although Japanese wasn't spoken, there were other Japanese people around, so it wasn't a problem at all. Everything went according to schedule without any issues, which was great.

高いところが基本苦手でジェットコースターもあまり好きではないのですがパラセーリングは安心して乗れて浮いてる感じがしてすごく楽しかったです
日本語は通じないですが他にも日本の方もいて全然苦にならなかったです 時間も予定通りでトラブルなくよかったです

I signed up for the 150m and participated while feeling nervous about the high price, but the moment I floated up, the boat quickly got farther away, and I didn't feel scared at all. It really felt like I was flying, and it was incredibly enjoyable! The flying time was just right—not too long and not too short—so I was very satisfied. I want to experience it again when I go to Hawaii!

150mに申込み、高すぎたんじゃないかとドキドキしながら参加しましたが、ふわっと浮き上がった瞬間にどんどんボートが遠くなるのに、怖さは全く感じませんでした。本当に飛んでいるみたいで最高に気持ちよかったです！飛んでいる時間も長すぎず短すぎず、大満足でした。ハワイに行ったらまた体験したいです♪

I chose the 90m option, and it was higher than I imagined, with a longer duration. However, if you're going to experience it, I recommend the 90m. Anything more might have too long of a hang time?

Be careful of seasickness. I had never experienced motion sickness before, but I almost felt it for the first time. However, the captain advised me to look far away, and doing that, along with flying in the sky, helped me feel better.

While floating in the air, I watched helicopters and Cessnas, and I think it's a wonderful experience to drift so quietly in the sky. It seems there are other parasailing tours available as well.

The crew takes photos for you, and when you return to land, they sell you the entire set on an SD card for $30, but we didn't buy it.

You'll need a swimsuit and a towel. If you're going to take photos with your phone, a waterproof one is safer. Women were not allowed to wear a skirt over their swimsuits. At the end, they let you dip down to your waist, which feels nice.

By the way, the reason I'm standing with my legs together in the photos is because of the ropes. Have a great trip!

90mを選びましたが想像以上に高く、時間は長めです、しかしせっかく体験するのであれば90mをおすすめします。それ以上は滞空時間が長すぎるかも？
船酔いには注意してください。今まで乗り物酔いをした事無かったけど初めて酔いそうになりました、しかし船長さんが遠くを見るようアドバイスくれて、それをした事と、空に飛んだ事で大丈夫でした。
空に浮きながらヘリやセスナを眺めたんですけど、こんなに静かに空を漂えるってとても素晴らしい体験だと思います。他にもパラセーリングツアーはあるようです。
乗組員の方が写真を撮ってくれて陸に戻るとSDカードに入れて自分達のを丸ごと売ってくれます、
30ドルですが私達は買いませんでした。
水着とタオルがいります。携帯は撮影するなら防水が安心です。女性は水着の上にスカートはいたらだめでした。最後は腰あたりまで着水させてくれて気持ちいいですよ。
所で、写真で内股になっているのはロープのせいですよ。良い旅を！

I tried parasailing for the first time.

The weather was great on the day of the activity, and our boat set off with three groups: a group of Japanese people, a group of Westerners, and us.

We headed out to sea for about 15 minutes before taking off into the sky.

We chose the 120m option and were the second group to go.

There were two male staff members who were very friendly, cheerful, and had a playful spirit, which made it a lot of fun.

At first, I was worried because I’m not good with heights, but for some reason, I felt completely at ease and there wasn’t much swaying.

The view of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the vast ocean from above was exceptional, and it was a wonderful experience!

I thought I would like to go parasailing again when I visit next time. Thank you!

パラセーリングは初めて挑戦しました。

当日はとても天気がよく、私達を含め、日本人のグループ、欧米の方のグループの3グループで船は出発しました。

15分ほど沖に向かい、そこから空へ飛び立ちます。

私たちは120mを選び、2番めでした。

スタッフは男性二人でしたが、とても気さくで明るく、遊び心がありとても楽しめました。

最初高いところが苦手なので怖かったらどうしようと思っていましたが、なぜか全く怖くなく、揺れもそんなにありませんでした。

空から眺めるワイキキの街とダイヤモンドヘッドと広い海は格別で、とても良い経験でした！

また訪れた際には、パラセーリングしたいなーと思いました。
ありがとうございました！

Dylan and Jaime did a great job providing a fun and enjoyable time. The views were amazing and even the nervous members of our party had a blast.

We experienced this as two women. The staff doesn't speak Japanese, but they provide a Japanese instruction manual, so there are no safety concerns. We were taken up to a height of 150 meters, which is probably something you can't experience in Japan, and we enjoyed it while squealing with excitement. Considering it's equivalent to the 50th floor of a building, it can be intimidating, but we had so much fun up there without any fear. The time spent in the air was also very long, and we were completely satisfied. The wet landing was thrilling and a lot of fun (if you don't want to get wet, just let them know you prefer a dry landing).

Since it was full, I was worried about the long wait time, but in reality, it passed quickly as we took photos and admired the rainbow over Diamond Head, so it wasn't a problem at all (it might have been nice that it was cloudy, so we were comfortable without suffering from the heat). If I had to point out a downside, it would be that the time between the shuttle bus arriving at the boat dock and the boat's departure was quite long. However, this might be unavoidable for scheduling purposes.

女性2人で体験しました。
スタッフは日本語は通じませんが、日本語の説明書を配ってくれるので、安全面での心配はありません。
150mという、おそらく日本では体験できないであろう高さまで上げてもらい、キャーキャー言いながら満喫しました。ビルの50階相当の高さと考えるとびびりますが、上空ではそんな恐怖心もなく楽しめました。滞空時間もとても長く、十分満足できました。wet landingもスリル満点でとても楽しかったです（濡れるのが嫌な場合は、dry landingと声をかけておけば大丈夫なようです）。
満員だったので待ち時間が長くてしんどいかなと心配しましたが、実際は、写真を撮りあったり、虹のかかったダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めたりしているうちにあっという間に過ぎてしまい、全く苦になりませんでした（曇りだったので、暑さに苦しむことなく快適に過ごせたのもよかったのかもしれません）。
強いて言うなら、送迎バスがボート乗り場に着いてからボートの出発までの時間が長いのが難点でしょうか。余裕をもったスケジューリングという意味ではやむを得ないのかもしれませんが。

It was fun, very friendly host & relaxing atmosphere. Well instructed with easy instructions.

We took a trolley for about 10 minutes and then moved another 5 minutes by boat to get ready for parasailing. We went up high, enjoyed it for a bit, and then came back down. Wait, that was it? It felt really short, and I was a bit taken aback by the request for a tip.

ピックアップのトロリーに乗り、10分ほど走って到着。そこからさらに船で5分ほど行ったところに移動していざ、パラセーリングです。
一回高く登って少し楽しんですぐ戻ってきて。あれれ？その一回でおしまいです。すごく呆気ないwでチップ要求ってちょっとどーなの？て感じでした。

We had Ben as our guide, and we did a great job! Showed us cool sites, and made sure we had tons of fun!!!

First I was really afraid because I can barely float, I don't swimming if is not at the pool and going short distance. But I decided to have a new experience as a solo traveler in Hawaii as my first visit. The crew were just amazing, the lady at office received me with a big smile and was very friendly. The rest of the crew really made me feels good and my fears went away. When we got to the spot in the sea the first animal I saw was a turtle, and was an amazing feeling. While the crew organizing every scooter the only thing in my mind was "oh please I don't want to be the first one", after the captain told me I will be the next, I ended up being the third person going under. Words can not explain, you really need to go and have this experience where you can actually be close and touch animals under the sea.
I was lucky enough to see turtles, different kind of fish and even an octopus that got stuck on my big helmet for my pictures and video.
By the end of the day I got my photos and video, I've played my video and couldn't believe that the woman was me, they really did a good job, from the beginning to the end
I really recommend BOB's Adventure underwater scooter, specially if you don't swim at all, like me.


PS: I took the bus to get there from downtown, the commute was really easy and you will get so see more.

We challenged ourselves to kayaking for the first time as a group of four, and it was great to set off in a tandem kayak. However, it felt like we had to paddle hard to avoid being pushed back by the waves, so I'm glad we weren't in single kayaks. One person did get seasick and had to take a break at the snorkeling point, and after that, they had to give up halfway! Everyone, don't forget to take motion sickness medication! Even though I took it beforehand, if you're not feeling well, please don't push yourself.

4人で初めてカヤックに挑戦、二人乗り用のカヤックに乗り出発したのは良いですが
盛漕ぎしないと波に戻される感じで、一人乗りじゃなくて良かったです
　しかし一人波に酔ってしまいシュノーケルポイントで少しやすんで
その後半分断念！　皆さん酔い止め忘れずに！
でもちゃんと飲んで行ったんですが体調悪い時は、無理しないで下さいね

I love it will recommend it to all my friends and family

I was most excited to be at the actual (gilligans Island) unfortunately....not really allowed to be on the Island. Fun kayak beautiful scenery and some nice snorkeling as well

This is our fourth trip to Hawaii, and we are a couple in our 60s and late 50s. Until now, we have never experienced any attractions at the beach, mostly sticking to non-active optional tours like sightseeing in the North Shore, dinner cruises, Polynesian shows, and restaurants. Therefore, we were filled with anxiety about parasailing right up until the last minute!

Our departure time was for the 9 AM course (the second one after 9 AM that day), and the participants included a couple in their 60s, two Japanese women, a Japanese family of four, and us, totaling ten people along with two foreign guides. We boarded the motorboat and headed about 20 minutes offshore, where we paired up and attached parachutes to our backs to float up into the sky.

First, two young women took off, followed by the foreign couple, and everyone seemed to be handling it well. Finally, it was our turn; we attached the parachute to our life jackets and, in no time, we were 90 meters up. There was no wind at that height, and the view of the truly blue ocean below was amazing. In the end, we dipped our lower bodies into the water. The flying time was about 10 to 15 minutes. It was not scary at all and was the best moment!

The two foreign guides explained everything in English, but even someone like me, who hardly speaks English, could understand. They also took photos for us (for $30). I definitely want to try parasailing at 150 meters next time!

今回が4回目のハワイとなる６３歳と５０後半の夫婦です。これまで、海でのアトラクションの体験はなく、ほとんどノースショア観光、ディナークルーズ、ポリネシアンショー、レストランなどの体を動かさないオプショナルツアーばかりでした。
ですから、今回のパラセイリングは直前まで、不安でいっぱい!
私達の出発時刻は９時のコースで(当日の9時の次の２回目)、参加者は６０歳代の外人夫婦、二人連れの日本人女性、日本人の４人家族と私達の１０人と外人の案内人二人。モーターボートに乗りこみ、２０分ほど沖合に行き、左右二人一組の背中にパラシュートを付けて上空に浮き上がるわけです。
最初、若い女性二人組が飛び上がり、次が外人夫婦ペア、皆、簡単そうで何とかなりそうって感じに。いよいよ私達の番に、救命道具の背にパラシュートを付け、あっという間に９０メートル
上空では、風もなくほんとに青い海を真下に最高の眺め。最後は下半身ドボンしてもらい。飛んでる時間は１０分か１５分でしょうか。まったく怖くもなく最高のひとときでした。
ボートでは外人二人が英語で説明してくれましたが、ほとんど英語できない私でも理解できる程度、写真も撮ってくれて（30ドル)
是非、次回は150メートルの長さでパラセイリングしたいと思います。

First, we watched an explanation video about underwater scooters in an office-like area on the second floor, used the restroom, and those who weren't wearing swimsuits changed. At this point, two different colored paper tapes were wrapped around our wrists.

Everyone boarded the boat, but some groups were given marine shoes (probably based on the color of the paper tape) and were told to leave their belongings on the boat and get off because they would go to the sandbar on a different boat first. The boat to the sandbar went quite fast, which was a bit scary but fun! However, even though it was called a sandbar, the seawater was up to our chests, and when the waves got a bit high, we were splashed over our heads. A female staff member who spoke Japanese taught us how to use the stand-up paddle. You can ride with two people. She said that if you have a smartphone in a waterproof case, she would take pictures for you, and she took a lot of photos. We took turns enjoying it in groups of four, but while others were taking their turns, there wasn't much to do, so I thought it would be nice to have a float. The female staff members were always on floats, though (laughs).

After a while, the first boat we boarded returned, and we joined everyone else to move a bit offshore to use the underwater scooters. The moment we entered the helmet part of the scooter, we submerged in the sea. I didn't operate the scooter at all. When I placed my hands on the handlebars, the diver gestured for me to remove them a few times, and he operated the handlebars himself.

There was a sea turtle, and he pulled the scooter close to it! The scooter had food attached, and when I waved the net with the food, fish came to eat, and I was able to take many pictures from inside the helmet. The water was truly a beautiful blue, and I was moved by it.

While the next person was using the underwater scooter, we borrowed snorkeling gear and enjoyed it, but when we returned to the boat after the scooter, many people said they were cold, and some chose not to snorkel. Snacks and water were available for unlimited consumption, and everyone ate quite a bit. We could decide whether to purchase the photos taken by the diver after seeing them. I didn't purchase either the photos or the videos.

We had time to change and use the restroom until we got on the return vehicle. There were no towels laid on the seats, and since my swimsuit was still a bit wet, I placed a towel I used to dry off on the seat before sitting down.

最初に2階の事務所のようなところで水中スクーターの説明ビデオを見たりトイレに行ったり水着を着てない人は着替えたりしました。ここで色の違う紙テープのようなもの2本が手首に巻かれます。
1度みんな船に乗りましたが、何組かはマリンシューズを渡されて(多分紙テープの色によって)先に別のボートでサンドバーに行くから荷物を置いて船からおりて、と言われました。サンドバーへ行くボートは結構スピードを出して少し怖かったですが楽しかったです！しかしサンドバーといっても海水は胸まであり、少し高い波がくると頭からかぶります。女性の日本語が話せるスタッフがスタンドアップパドルのやり方を教えてくれます。2人で乗ることもできます。防水ケースに入れたスマホを持っていると写真撮ってあげるよ！と言ってくれてたくさん撮ってくれました。4組で交代交代に楽しみましたが他の方がやっている間は特にすることがなく海の中で立っているだけなので浮輪があればいいなと思いました。女性スタッフだけは常に浮輪にのってましたが(笑)
しばらくすると最初に乗った船が来てしてみなさんと合流して少し沖へ移動し水中スクーターをします。スクーターのヘルメット部分に入る瞬間は海に潜ります。 スクーターの操作は全くしていません。ハンドルに手を置いていると手をどけろみたいなジェスチャーを何回かされダイバーがハンドルを操作してなにかしてました。
ウミガメがいたのですぐ近くまでスクーターを引っ張って行ってくれました！スクーターには餌が付いていてその餌の網を振ると魚が食べに来てヘルメットの中から写真をたくさん撮れました。海の中は本当にきれいな青色で感動しました。
シュノーケリングは次の人が水中スクーターをしている間に勝手に道具を借り楽しむ感じでしたが水中スクーターを終えて船に戻ると寒いと言っている人が多くシュノーケリングはやらない人もいました。スナック菓子とお水は食べ飲み放題でみなさん結構食べてました。ダイバーが撮ってくれた写真は見てから購入するか決めれます。動画は見てませんが私はどちらも購入しませんでした。
帰りの車に乗るまで着替えたりトイレに行く時間がありました。座席にタオルなどは敷かれておらず、まだ少し水着が濡れていたので体をふいたタオルを敷いて座りました。

When we participated, there were many foreign participants, but they kindly taught us various things in Japanese, which made us feel at ease during the tour. It was my second time snorkeling, but perhaps because we were in the water for a bit longer than before, I got seasick. Next time, I want to take motion sickness medication before participating. I was disappointed that I didn't get to see any turtles. The view was very beautiful.

私たちが参加したときは、外国人参加者の方が多かったですが、日本語で丁寧にいろいろなことを教えてくださいって、安心してツアーに参加できました。シュノーケリングは何回目かでしたが、今までより少し長めの時間海にいたせいか、酔ってしまいました。今度は酔い止めを飲んでから参加したいと思います。亀に会えず残念でした。とてもながめはきれいでした。

I'm afraid of heights, but I wasn't scared at all. In fact, it was really fun to see views that I don't usually get to see. It starts suddenly, which is surprising, but you should definitely try it at least once.

高所恐怖症ですが、全く怖くありませんだした。むしろ普段見ない景色が見れて本当に楽しいです。
いきなり始まるのでびっくりしますが、一度は体験してみてください。

We challenged ourselves with three friends, and it was surprisingly slow to ascend and descend, which was a hit with my friend who isn't a fan of thrill rides. It felt like a pleasant stroll in the sky, and I was truly impressed by the wonderful views from 150 meters! The staff were also very friendly and took plenty of photos for us. I highly recommend this tour when visiting Hawaii!

友人3人で挑戦しましたが、思ったよりゆっくりと上がってゆっくりと落ちるので絶叫系苦手な友人にも大好評でした。
気持ちいいお空の散歩という感じで、150mから見える景色の素晴らしさに感動しきりです！
スタッフの方もとてもフレンドリーで写真も沢山撮って頂きました。ハワイに行った際には是非おすすめしたいツアーです！

I wasn't very comfortable with heights, so I chose 90 meters, but once I was up there, I forgot my fear because of the beauty of the view. It was amazing to see the beautiful scenery while feeling the refreshing breeze!

高所はあまり得意ではなかったので、90mにしましたが、上がってしまえば景色の美しさに怖さも忘れます。爽快な風を感じながら美しい景色を見れるのが最高でした！！

I experienced parasailing for the first time at the age of 50. I was filled with anxiety about whether I could handle the height of 90 meters, but the chatty driver and the cheerful and kind atmosphere of the boat staff made me excited to take on the challenge. During the descent, we even touched the sea, which was so much fun that I truly felt it was worth it!

Although it wasn't a Japanese tour, there were no issues with gestures and words. In fact, since the participants in the English tour were all foreigners, the atmosphere was lively, and my worries disappeared as I enjoyed myself. I was also happy to have many photos taken for just $30. When I got off the boat, I tipped $20 for each of the two staff members.

50歳にして初めてのパラセイルを体験することに。90ｍの高さに耐えられるか不安でいっぱいでしたが、送迎ドライバーのマシンガントークと、船のスタッフの陽気で親切な雰囲気で
ワクワクチャレンジする気持ちが上回りました。途中降下して海につけられるのですが
それすらも楽しめる程とっても楽しかったです。本当にやってよかった！
日本語ツアーではないですが、ジェスチャーと単語で何の問題もありません。
むしろ英語ツアーで参加者も外国人だけだったので雰囲気も盛り上がり、不安も吹き飛んで
楽しめました。写真も30ドルでたくさん撮ってもらえてよかった。
握手して船を降りるときに、チップを20ドル×スタッフ2名分渡しました。

I participated in a certain popular dinner cruise on an optional tour two days ago, but it was a bit disappointing, and the weather wasn't great, so I made a last-minute reservation the day before. The cruise started at 1 PM, and the weather was perfect! We had a great time getting splashed with water occasionally.

There were no other Japanese participants besides our family, but it wasn't a problem at all. If you want to enjoy drinks on the yacht, please bring some cash. We only brought a plastic bag and a water bottle. The plastic bag was for storing our flip-flops when boarding the yacht; otherwise, we would have had to leave them on the sandy beach at the boarding area.

It feels amazing, so I recommend this over the certain dinner cruise! Since it can get hot, don't forget a hat or a hoodie. My husband and I didn't get seasick at all, but our middle school daughter felt a bit queasy towards the end.

オプショナルツアーで一番人気の某ディナークルーズに２日前に参加したのですが、ちょっと期待ハズレだったのとお天気に恵まれなかったので急遽前日に予約を入れて参加しました。13時からのクルーズでお天気最高！時々かぶる水しぶきにずぶ濡れになりながら楽しい時間を過しました。
日本人は私達家族の他は参加していませんでしたが特別困ることもなかったです。ヨットで飲み物を飲みたい方多少の現金を持って行って下さい。私達はビニール袋とペットボトルのみ持参で参加しました。ビニール袋はヨットに乗る時にビーチサンダルを入れるためです。でないとヨット乗り場の砂浜にビーチサンダルを置いていくハメになります。
最高に気持ちいいので某ディナークルーズに行くならこちらをオススメします！暑いので帽子かパーカーなどをお忘れなく。船酔いは私と主人は全くしませんでしたが、中学生の娘は後半に少し酔いました。

The best of tour plusses without the negatives. You spend most of your time at the location you choose and doing the activity you choose. Justin was very knowledgeable and personable. He let us choose our activity on site and even let people customize it by picking 2 morning activites and no afternoon ones. It was awesome.

I boarded the boat as a visitor due to feeling unwell, but I had a very enjoyable time. I requested an SD card on board, and it had a lot of cuts, which made me feel like I got a great deal.

体調不良で見学者としてボートに乗り込みましたが、とても楽しい時間でした。SDカードを船上で頼みましたが、これも沢山のカットがあり、お得な気分になりました。

I invited a senior who loves fishing and splurged on the $91 option for a long time of enjoyment, but we returned to port by lunchtime after just a few hours, making it a disappointing cruise. I reflected that next time I need to do better research and confirm details in advance to make the most of our valuable time.

釣りが大好きな先輩を誘って長い時間楽しめる91ドルの方を奮発したのに、午前中でお昼には寄港し、物足りないクルーズでした。次回はもっと事前確認を良くして大事な時間を有意義に過ごせるように調べて申し込まなければいけないと反省しました。

Went with another couple..I wasn't sure what to expect since I've never been on any type of tour via water and there were only a few reviews.

But we're so glad we did. The crew was fantastic! Josh cracked jokes and made us feel welcome. Brad and Karin (spelling?) were great to talk to...they refilled our drinks and also took pictures.

It was laid back, great atmosphere, and beautiful view. Can't wait to do it again!

We were so excited that we got to stay longer than others and even dropped three times! I think paying $30, including the SD card, for 100 to 140 photos is a great deal. It was my second time, but if I ride again, I would love to come back here!

私たちがとても盛り上がってたせいか、他の人たちよりも長く、かつ3回も落としてもらえました！写真も100枚～140枚撮ってもらえてSD代含め30ドルは安いと思います。2回目だったけどまた乗るならここがいいなと思いました！

I was just observing, but everyone seasoned the fish they caught deliciously, and I was able to eat it! We changed locations about three times every 40 minutes, and luckily, we were able to see dolphins too!

私は見学でしたが、みんなが釣った魚を美味しく味付けしてくれて食べることが出来ました！約40分ごとに3回程場所を変え、運良くイルカを見ることも出来ました！

This was everything the other positive reviews said it would be. The crew was patient and thorough in gearing you up and explaining what to expect. They explained what to do in the event of a number of potential issues. But just as importantly, they were friendly, clearly happy to be doing what they were doing and happy to have us aboard.

We got picked up by a fun shuttle driver who quickly got us to the dock and back to our hotel.

I highly recommend Hawaiian Parasail. A good value and a great activity in paradise!

It was my first time parasailing in Hawaii. I was a bit anxious about whether I would spin in the air because of the strong winds, but once I was up there, it felt amazing and I didn't feel any fear at all. The staff took photos for us, so I have another wonderful memory to cherish. I didn't even need to wear a swimsuit since I didn't get wet at all. They also taught us how to take off and land carefully. It was so much fun! Thank you!

ハワイでははじめてのパラセール。
風が強くて空中回転しないか⁉と不安もあったけれど　上がってみるととても気持ちがよく恐怖などなにも感じませんでした。　写真もスタッフが撮ってくれたので　楽しい素敵な思い出がまた一つ増えました。
水着着用の必要性は無いほど濡れる事もなかったです。離発着も丁寧に教えてくださいました。
楽しかった‼ありがとう
