All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

Had a great time with family raced back but we lost. Waterfall was pretty and lunch was filling. The guide was kind and informative.

Thank you for an enjoyable and memorable experience!!

My family visits the Hawaiian islands every summer and we've been on many tours. This particular event was very personalized and was one of the best we've been on over the years. The guide was very personable, he took us off track when dolphins showed up so we could snorkel near them. It was clear the guide was thoroughly enjoying himself, which made the trip enjoyable for all who were there. The guide even gave up his own shoes to a person who didn't bring a pair. Highly recommend this trip!

Our family's first trip to Hawaii!
I wanted to give my 6-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son an experience they wouldn't normally have, so we chose parasailing.
On the day of the activity, our cheerful and fun driver, Yano-san, shared recommendations for local shops during the ride, which was great!
Once we arrived, we quickly boarded the boat with another family of three from abroad, and with our family and two more cheerful staff members, we set off with a total of nine people!
Most of the instructions were in English, but they were easy to understand with gestures, and I think the kids understood as well.
What made me happy was that since the kids are small, they said we could all fly together, and we did! Mom and Dad were in the back, and the kids were in front. We were able to take a family selfie in the sky, and we were thrilled to see so much of Waikiki and Diamond Head together.
For $30, they took over 120 photos of our family.
My daughter, who is a bit timid, was harnessed up in no time thanks to the efficient preparation, and before she could even feel scared, she was smiling at 120 meters above ground! She was so excited and said it felt amazing.
Thank you very much!

家族で初ハワイ！
6歳の娘と８歳の息子に、なかなかできない経験をさせたくて、パラセーリングを選びました。
当日は送迎の時からヤノサンという明るく楽しい運転手さんに、地元の人オススメのお店情報を教えてもらえたり、嬉かった〜。
現地に着くと、すぐにボートに乗り込み外国のもうひと家族３人と、私達家族と、これまた明るく楽しいスタッフ2人の合計9人で出発！
ほとんど説明は英語だけどわかりやすくジェスチャーでも表現してくれて、多分子供も理解していました。
嬉かったのは、子供が小さいから4人で飛べるよ〜と言ってくれて、４人で飛んだこと！パパママ後ろで子供たち前。空の上で自撮りで家族写真撮れたし、一緒にたくさんワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながら感激できました。
30ドルで家族4人の写真も120枚以上撮ってくれました。
あと少し怖がりの娘も、準備の手際の良さで、アッという間にハーネスをつけられ吊るされ、怖がる暇もなく、上空120メートルではニコニコ笑顔！気持ちーと大はしゃぎしてました。
ありがとうございました。

Kevin and Noni at King Kayak did a fabulous job of getting us out on the water. We had a group of four, ranging from 10 to 80 years old, and they kept the trip interesting, and low-impact. We got to see some spinner dolpins, enter a sea cave, snorkel in a pristine location, and jump off of cliffs into the crystal-blue waters of the bay. They took photos of us free of charge. It was a great adventure for all!

You can swim, snorkel or just enjoy the scenery from the boat while small groups take their turn touring the waters below with the scooters. The crew was very helpful and courteous. Everyone had a great time!

Our family of five participated, with children aged 10, 8, and 6. It was the children's first time snorkeling, and for the 6-year-old, it was even their first time swimming in the ocean. However, Dan and Chieko provided excellent support, allowing us to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. We were lucky to encounter a sea turtle as well. Although it was after a typhoon, it seemed to be murkier than usual. Still, we were satisfied to see many fish. If we have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, we would love to join your tour! Thank you very much.

家族５人、子供は１０才、８才、６才が参加でした。
子供たちはシュノーケリングが初めて、６才は海で泳ぐことすら初めてでした。
ですが、ダンさんとチエコさんがしっかりサポートしてくれて、安心して楽しむことができました。ウミガメにも遭うことができラッキーでした。
今回は台風のあとでしたが、実はいつもより濁っていたのでしょうか？それでもたくさんの魚が見れて満足です。またハワイに行く機会がありましたら、お２人のツアーに参加したいです！本当にありがとうございました。

Wow wow and WOW got to see so much I was amazed. Our 11 year old daughter was the one who wanted to do it and reluctantly we agreed and man was I surprised. One it's a lot more "family interactive" without having to hold hands. It's more comfortable because you don't have a be and tank weighing you down, and you get to get just as deep as you need to to see huge turtles and awesome fish action

My Dad and I did the 1000ft foot line and it was AMAZING! Definitely one of the best things we did in Oahu.

My wife and I wanted to do something other than snorkelling and this adventure gave us more than what we asked more, plus a lifetime of memories in the form of great photos and a video. Thank you BOB's aventure.

Chieko and Dan were very accommodating. For someone who's first time at the sea, I was able to participate because of them. I had an awesome time. Highly recommend them!

This place was a great choice! So glad we booked this kayaking activity! It was both me and my friends first time kayaking in the ocean and I was a little nervous but as soon as I got there I was greeted by a very friendly staff! Our guide "PO" was so welcoming and friendly! He made us feel very comfortable from the moment we met him. He was very patient, knowledgable, taught us some history about Kailua and most of all he made us feel safe! :) PO was an AMAZING kayaking guide!!! I would totally recommend this activity to anyone who wants to get away from the crowed beaches like in Waikiki. Most beautiful beach in Oahu in my opinion. Forgot to mention the lunch it included was super yummy!

PS. PO our guide also took great pics of us with his GoPro and emailed them to us for free. Great customer service!!! Wish I could give 10 stars

I signed up because it was said to be a clear beach, but due to the approaching hurricane, there were winds and waves, and I couldn't enjoy the snorkeling I was looking forward to. It was disappointing that the weather wasn't favorable, with heavy rain at times. However, I rented a bike and went out shopping and to Lanikai Beach with my child. The bike rental is $10 (credit cards accepted). Since we extended our trip to Lanikai Beach, we didn't have much time to relax on the way back. If you're planning to snorkel, I think Kailua Beach would be a better option to enjoy it more leisurely.

澄み渡ったビーチだということで申し込んだのですがハリケーン接近中のため風・波があり楽しみにしていたシュノーケリングができませんでした。
一時大雨になったりと天候には恵まれず残念でしたが
自転車を借りて子供とふたりラ二カイビーチやショッピングに出かけました。
自転車は＄10でレンタル（カードＯＫ）できます。
ラ二カイビーチまで足を延ばすと帰り時間ぎりぎりでゆっくりできなかったので
シュノーケルするのであればカイルアビーチだけのほうがゆっくりできると思います。

Since it was our family's first time parasailing, we decided on the 90M option based on these reviews. The pickup car arrived right on time, and the driver was so cheerful! Even though we could only have a little conversation, he kept talking to keep the mood lively.

As for the parasailing itself, the crew was a cheerful duo who spoke mostly English. There were only two families, including ours, so there was no seasickness as mentioned in the reviews (though it might have been because we took motion sickness medication...). My middle school daughter was really scared and was unsure until the last moment, but afterward, she said it was great and felt wonderful! There was hardly any fear at all. The views of Diamond Head and Waikiki were truly beautiful and breathtaking. We even got to see sea turtles!

If we have the chance to go again, we would definitely participate.

家族全員初パラセーリングなので、こちらの口コミを参考にしながら90Mにしました。
迎えの車も時間ぴったりに来て下さり、運転手の方の陽気なこと！
会話も少ししかできないのに、盛り上げようとずーっと話をしてくれていました。
本題のパラセーリングですが、乗務員はほぼ英語のやはりこちらも陽気な2人組でした。私たち家族の他は３人家族の計2組でしたので、口コミにあるような船酔いもありませんでした(もしかしたら酔い止めを飲んだのでその効果かもしれませんが…)中学生の娘が本当に怖がっていて、直前までどうしようか迷っていましたが、終わったあとはやって良かった！気持ち良かった！と大絶賛でした。ほぼ恐怖感は無いです。ダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキの全景が本当にきれいで感動ものです。そして海ガメも見ることができました！
また行く機会があれば、ぜひ参加したいです。

The parasailing experience itself was very satisfying. However, there was a large sign on the boat in Japanese that said "Please tip," and we were asked for tips twice during the return trip. It was disappointing because we were told that tips were included in the tour price.

パラセイリング自体は、大変満足でした。
ただ、船に日本語で大きく「チップをお願いします」と書かれており、帰りの船内でも二度に渡りチップをお願いされました。チップはツアー料金に含まれているとされていましたので、残念でした。

I sent my husband and two oldest sons 13 & 16 parasailling for the first time. They said it was one of the best experiences they've ever done and would go again. Just wish I could've gotten a picture or video of it.

What a fun and enjoyable experience. Completely organized, focused on their customers and so knowledgeable. Extremely nice people who take care of every detail. A definite 5 Star experience!

Even though I spent the whole morning for this activity, I just rode the underwater scooter for 15 min only. Furthermore, I couldn't even enjoy with my wife and son at the same time. So embarrassed and annoyed much. I admit the riding itself is exciting activity but their program was not that sophisticated. I was so much disappointed.

Thank you for a very memorable day in a beautiful location. It was so easy as we were picked up at our hotel and dropped home. Very reasonable price and stunning surroundings.

My first parasailing experience. I challenged myself to 90 meters. At first, I was worried about whether I would be okay at such a height, but once I actually did it, I felt no fear at all; instead, it was exhilarating. It truly felt like I was flying like a bird.

Along the way, there was a bonus where I intentionally dropped into the sea (from a low position) once.

Although it was a short time of about five minutes, it was wonderful.

The staff seemed to speak a little bit of Japanese.

初めてのパラセイリング。９０Mにチャレンジしてみました。　初めは高くても大丈夫かなという心配がありましたが、実際やってみると、少しも怖くなく、かえって、爽快でした。本当に鳥になって飛んでいるようでした。

途中、一回、わざと、海の中に落ちる(低い位置から)というおまけ(❓)もついています。

5分ほどの短い時間ではありましたが、素晴らしかったです。

スタッフに人は片言の日本語が話せるようです。

Veltra booking is awful they know your a tourist and not familiar with the islands and where things are and they take your money and book you and don't explain you need a boat or plane to get to them and won't refund you

I participated during the summer vacation. The location was close to the hotel, and it was good that the bus ride was shorter compared to other ocean activities.

We took a boat to the parasailing point, but I got a bit seasick on the boat, so I think motion sickness medication is necessary.

When parasailing, I was nervous at first, but if you're okay with heights, there’s nothing particularly scary, and I had the opportunity to take photos from above.

It felt great to go up quite high.

As long as you can handle seasickness, I think it's a very satisfying tour.

夏休みに参加させてもらいました。
開催場所はホテルからも近く、
ほかの海のアクティビティよりかは
バスに乗る時間が少なかったのでよかったです。

船でパラセーリングをするポイントまで
いくのですが、その船で少し酔ってしまったので、
酔い止めは必要だと思います。

パラセーリングする時、最初は
緊張しましたが、高いとこが大丈夫なら
特に怖いところもなく上から写真を撮ったり
余裕はありました。

かなり高く上がるので気持ちよかったです。

船酔いさえ大丈夫なら
大満足のツアーだと思います。

We set out to the ocean on a boat. From this moment, my spirits really lifted! The weather was great, and the view from above was breathtaking! It's a bit pricey at $30, but they also take photos for you. This is definitely something you should do when you come to Hawaii! Just keep in mind that the tips can be a bit high, haha. I give it four stars.

ボートに乗っていざ沖へでます。この時から気分がかなり上がります‼︎天気も良く、上空からの眺めは圧巻‼︎30ドルとちょっと高いですが、写真も撮ってもらえます。ハワイに来たら是非やるべき‼︎ただ、ちょっとチップが高いので笑 星４つです。

It was my first experience with parasailing, and since I was going to do it, I signed up for 150 meters!! I'm not good with heights, but I had a lot of fun! I also purchased the photo data for $30 ♡ It became a wonderful memory ♡ I want to do it again!!

パラセーリング初体験でしたが
どうせやるなら150m！！という事で150mで申込みました。
高いところは苦手ですがとても楽しめました！
30ドルで写真のデータも購入しました♡
とてもいい記念になりました♡
またやりたいです！！

One of the best parts of the trip and would defiantly do this activity again.

Thanks to the thorough guidance, I was able to fully enjoy my first snorkeling experience. When I come to Hawaii again, I definitely want to snorkel at Hanauma Bay once more.

丁寧に教えていただき、初めてのシュノーケリングを存分に楽しむことができました。
またハワイに来る時は、是非もう一度ハナウマ湾でのシュノーケリングをしたいと思います。

The pick-up arrived right on time. The van driver was very cheerful and made the ride enjoyable. (I heard he runs several stores in Waikiki.)

After arriving at the port, we moved to the boat. They asked if we wanted to purchase photos, so we answered Yes or No. We chose Yes, and I think that was the right decision. It made for great memories.

You can take photos with your phone, but the subjects are small due to the distance. (We were able to hand our phone to a couple we were riding with to take pictures as well.) Choosing the 150m distance was the right call. The view of Waikiki was breathtaking, and the brief journey in the sky with the pleasant breeze was fantastic.

When they set up the parachute, they asked if we wanted to splash into the sea with our bottoms. We got to do it twice, once right at the start and once at the end. Being over the ocean felt wonderful, and I would love to do it again if I get the chance.

As a note, the boat's speed varied, which made some people feel seasick. Also, when we splashed into the sea, due to the direction of the waves, I heard some people mention that their swimsuits almost came off and they had to hold them down.

きちんと時間通りに迎えが来てくれました。バンの運転手はとても陽気で車内を楽しませてくれます。（何店舗かワイキキで店を経営しているそうです。）
港に到着後船に移動します。その際に写真を購入するか聞かれますのでYes or Noで。私たちはYesでした。それが正解だったと思います。いい思い出です。
ケータイでも撮れるのですがいかんせん距離があるので被写体は小さいです。（事前に同乗のカップルに自身のケータイを渡してケータイでの撮影もできました。）
距離は150mを選んで正解でした。ワイキキの街並みが一望できつかのまの空の旅も風が心地よく最高でした。
パラシュートをセットしてもらう時にお尻を海にボシャンとやるか聞かれます。私たちはスタートしてすぐと終わり際の2度ボシャンとやってもらえました。
海の上はとても気持ち良くまた機会があればやりたいと思います。
注意としては船の速度が上がったり減速したりを繰り返しているので酔う人もいました。
それと海にボシャンのときに波の方向のせいもありますが水着の下が脱げそうで抑えるという話も聞きました。

We used this service for parasailing on our honeymoon! Since we were the first group in the morning, we boarded a boat with six people and moved to the parasailing spot. Once we got offshore, there were a few waves, but I had taken motion sickness medication beforehand, so I was fine. However, someone from the same group seemed to get sick while waiting for their turn, and they looked uncomfortable. So, I definitely recommend that anyone prone to motion sickness take medication before going!

As for the parasailing itself, 150 meters is really high! It was higher than I imagined, and the view was amazing! However, we only touched the water once, and it ended quickly, so I wish it had been a bit more intense. Also, I don't know if it was just because I was having too much fun, but the time felt personally short.

新婚旅行でパラセイリングがしたく利用させて頂きました！朝一のグループでしたので６名でボートに乗り、パラセイリングを行えるスポットまで移動しました。沖合にでると少し波があり、乗り物酔いをする私は事前に酔い止めを飲んでいた為平気だったのですが、同じグループの方が自分たちの番まで待っている間に酔ってしまったらしく、辛そうでした。なので乗り物酔いをしやすい人は、必ず酔い止めを飲んで行くことをお勧めします！
パラセイリング自体ですが、150mは高かい！想像以上に高くて景色は最高でした！ただ、1度だけ海に着いだけですぐ終わったので、内容的にはもう少しハードだったら良かったです。あと楽しすぎてかわかりませんが、時間が個人的に短く感じました。

This was my second experience with parasailing, and it was truly wonderful. Soaring like a kite while feeling the pleasant breeze is really enjoyable. The lively staff helped to create a fun atmosphere, and my daughter was thrilled.

I felt that the altitude was lower compared to my previous experience, but maybe that's because there were three of us this time? That was a bit disappointing. If we had more time, it would have been even better.

However, it's great that it's within walking distance from Hilton Hawaiian Village. It saves us from wasting time.

パラセーリンングは2度目の体験でしたがやはり素晴らしい。
心地よい風を浴びながら凧のように舞うのは本当に気持ちいがいいです。
ノリのいいスタッフの方に盛り上げてもらって娘も大はしゃぎでした。

前に体験した時より高度が低く感じたのですが、
今回が3名だったからかな？
その点が少し残念。もっと時間があればもっと良い。

でもヒルトンハワイアンビレッジから徒歩圏内なのは助かります。
無駄時間ないので。

Excellent pair of guides with a small group of us to work with. I had never snorkeled before and had no trouble following the instructions. It didn't matter that I was not an experienced swimmer. Sure makes a difference getting past the lineup to get in because of being part of a group. I recommend aiming for low tide if you have a choice.
