All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

We had a canoe experience with our 8 and 10-year-old kids. Every time we crossed the waves, my daughter exclaimed, "It's just like Moana!" and she was so happy.

While waiting for the waves, we chatted and relaxed, and when the waves came, we rode them at an incredible speed. It felt amazing and was the best experience! We rode the waves about three times and were very satisfied! Mahalo🌺

8歳と10才の子供達と一緒に
カヌー体験、波を超えて進むたびに
モアナみたい！珊瑚礁を超えていくよー！
って娘が大喜びでした。

波を待つ間もお話ししたり
リラックスしたり、いざ波が来た時は
すごいスピードで波にのって
気持ちよくて最高でした！
3回ほど波乗りしてくれて
大満足でした！Mahalo🌺

I requested a pick-up service, and both the departure and return were almost on time.

I felt reassured because there was a proper explanation from a Japanese person before boarding the boat.

I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling. The water level was about waist-high and felt cold at first, but I got used to it quickly. The live music on the boat was wonderful.

送迎をお願いしましたが行き帰りほぼ時間通りでした。
日本人の方から船に乗る前にきちんと説明があったので安心できました。

SUP、カヤック、シュノーケリングと堪能しました。
水位は腰くらいあって最初は冷たく感じましたがすぐ慣れました。
船での生演奏が素晴らしかったです。

I arrived on time as instructed to gather 30 minutes before the reservation, but the staff was absent, so it seemed like it would have been fine to arrive a bit later.

I forgot to take motion sickness medication and got nauseous from the boat's rocking and the parasailing. For those who are prone to motion sickness, taking medication is essential. The staff at the reception and the person explaining the parasailing were able to converse in Japanese.

It was my first time parasailing. I felt more scared than I expected, but the view was absolutely amazing, and it became a wonderful memory.

予約時間の30分前集合の指示があったので時間通り行きましたが、スタッフが不在で待ち時間があったのでもう少し遅めに行っても大丈夫そうでした。

酔い止めを忘れてしまい船の揺れとパラセーリングの揺れで酔ってしまったので酔いやすい方は酔い止め必須です。
受付の方、パラセーリングの説明をしてくれる方は日本語で会話できました。

パラセーリングは初めてでした。
思ってた以上に怖さは感じましたが景色が最高に良くてとても良い思い出になりました。

My family had so much fun. Great drivers. Would do it again with the same crew

I and my wife enjoyed SUP very much even though we struggled to stand up on the paddle. The instructor Kei and his assistant Mai were extremely helpful for this activity. One thing I’d like to fix in this activity is the initial meeting time was 8:45, but the actual time was 9:15, which made us upset. I think VETRA needs to fix this mismatch.

Lanikai is certainly beautiful, but when it comes to beach snorkeling, the Palau Pacific Resort is definitely superior. You can't expect much in terms of fish variety or density. However, you might encounter turtles. We also saw a turtle over 80 cm long. (Unfortunately, I forgot to turn on the camera, so I don't have a photo, but it was the largest one I've ever seen.)

ラニカイは確かに綺麗ですが、ビーチシュノーケルという点ではパラオパシフィックリゾートの方が断然上。魚影も種類も期待できません。
ただ、カメには出会えるかもしれません。
私達も甲良長80cm超えを見ましたよ。（写真は電源ON忘れたので無いですが、あれほどの巨体は初めて見ました）

We had four seniors, and although we were a bit anxious, the two instructors were amazing. I never expected to have so much fun! It was my first experience, and I could feel the Hawaiian breeze all over my body. I'm going back to Hawaii in two months, and I definitely want to participate again next time.

高齢者4人、不安もありましたがインストラクターの方2人が最高でこんなにも楽しめるなんて思いませんでした、初めての体験でハワイの風を全身で感じられました、2ヶ月後に又ハワイへいくのですが次回も是非参加しまず

I took my wife and daughters to Hawaii and we found this excursion. It looked a little challenging but the crew was professional and we had an amazing time! Highly recommend it!

A lounge floating on the sea, kayaking experiences, snorkeling, and enjoying marine sports! The scenery was amazing, and there was a nearby U.S. military base with fighter jets and helicopters flying around. As an airplane enthusiast, I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Hawaii. Although the sandbar didn't appear due to the season, I had plenty of fun.

海に浮かぶラウンジ、カヤック体験、シュノーケリング🤿とマリンスポーツを堪能❗️
景色も最高で、近くに米軍基地があり、
戦闘機やヘリコプターも旋回しており、飛行機好きな私としてはハワイを大満喫出来ました。季節的にサンドバーは出現しませんでしたが、十分楽しめました。

This is an amazing experience. Entertainment of hosts (singers) was perfect. They have wit and the singing talent to go with it. I highlyrecommend going with them.

The sandbar is amazing! Sea turtles, fish around the corals, paddle boarding.
I can't believe wife and I did the banana boat ride at our ages. It is worth it though! I tell people I can't believe I did it but glad I did.

Will take this tour again when given the chance!

It was more thrilling and higher than I imagined! Still, the view of the horizon and Diamond Head from above was breathtaking! It was a great experience with nothing to complain about!

想像以上に高くてスリルがあります！
それでも上から見る水平線やダイヤモンドヘッドは絶景でした！なにも文句をつけることのない良い体験でした！

Amazing experience Great service and excellent staff!

The access was good, and the time required was reasonable, so I was able to make effective use of the time before checking into the hotel. I could see the ocean of Waikiki from 360 degrees above, and I enjoyed a luxurious view of the cityscape of Waikiki from above the sea.

アクセスも良く、所要時間も手ごろなので、ホテルチェックイン前の時間を有効活用できました。上空からワイキキの海を360度見渡すことができ、ワイキキの街並みを海の上から贅沢に眺めることができました。

Paddling out towards the waves at Waikiki Beach and riding them back is a repetitive but enjoyable experience. Paddling can be quite tiring, but it was thrilling and fun. I think I'll try it again next time.

ワイキキビーチの波に向かって漕ぎ、そして波にのって戻ってくるの繰り返しですが、漕ぐのはまあまあ疲れますが、迫力満点で楽しかったです。次回もまたトライしようと思います。

I had a wave-riding experience that felt just like surfing. The view of riding the waves towards the hotels on Waikiki Beach with Diamond Head on my right side was breathtaking.

I was also lucky enough to see a sea turtle.

まるでサーフィンをしてる様な波乗り体験が出来ました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドを右手側にワイキキビーチのホテルに向かって波に乗る景色は
絶景です。

運よくウミガメも見る事が出来ました。

The scenery was beautiful. The guide was awesome. I highly recommend this.

Hanauma Bay is still a beautiful place to visit! The reef is home to such a beautiful variety of colorful fish, sea urchins, & coral. A must see for anyone visiting Oahu!

The boat was quite rough, making it feel like an attraction, which was fun! The parasailing itself didn't have a floating sensation; it was just a bit windy. I didn't get seasick on the boat, but I did feel a bit nauseous while parasailing.

船は結構荒くて、アトラクションみたいで面白かったです！パラセーリング自体にはふわっと感はなく、風が強いなーくらいでした。船は酔わなかったけど、パラセーリング中は酔いました、、

I was able to enjoy the breathtaking views. The floating time was about 8 minutes. Not only did I see the beautiful ocean, but I also got to view Waikiki and Diamond Head from a high vantage point. The boat moved out further than I expected, and I enjoyed the time on the boat as well. I chose to go paragliding at 150 meters, and it was higher than I imagined. While I felt a bit of fear when the wind picked up, I was able to enjoy the stunning scenery. Surprisingly, I felt like I could enjoy the views for a long time. It's a unique experience to gracefully enjoy the sights of Waikiki from such a high place, so I highly recommend it. The staff were also very kind and cheerful.

絶景を楽しむことが出来ました。浮遊時間は約8分ほど。綺麗な海はもちろん、ワイキキ市街やダイヤモンドヘッドを高いところから見ることが出来ました。ボートは思ったよりも置きに進み、船の時間も楽しむことが出来ました。パラセーリングは150mを選択しましたが想像以上に高く、風に煽られると若干の恐怖心もありながら、絶景を楽しむことが出来ました。意外にも長く感じるほど景色を楽しめました。あれほど高いところから優雅にワイキキの景色を楽しめることは無いのでおすすめです。スタッフの方も大変優しく陽気な方々でした。

I was worried because the weather was bad, but the sea was very beautiful and I was able to see a lot of fish! When we said we wanted to see sea turtles, they took us to the sea turtle spot, and I was so happy to see them up close!! There was even a seal unexpectedly!!! The hour flew by, and it was so much fun.

天気が悪くて不安だったのですが、
海の中はとても綺麗でたくさん魚を見ることができました！
私たちがウミガメを見たいと言ったら、ウミガメスポットに連れて行ってくれて、実際に近くで見ることができすごく嬉しかったです！！まさかのアザラシもいました！！！
1時間あっという間でとても楽しかったです。

I was able to enjoy the stunning views of Hawaii, and I'm glad I took a lot of photos! The height of 150 meters was very impressive, and I was extremely satisfied.

ハワイの絶景を味わえて、
写真も沢山とってくれてよかった！
高さも150mととても高くて大満足。

I was a complete beginner at surfing, but the instructor provided excellent guidance, and I was able to stand up on the board in about 20 minutes. Above all, the experience of surfing at Waikiki Beach was truly irreplaceable.

サーフィンは全くの初心者でしたが、インストラクターが適格に指導してもらい、開始20分くらいで立つことができました。何よりワイキキのビーチでサーフィンできる体験は何よりも代えがたいものでしたね。

Tour was amazing! The crews were awesome. The band, outstanding!

Donuts were great, crew was incredibly friendly and helpful in learning new activities like paddle boarding. We did the optional tubing ride and it was fun (even if it was too much for us and we had to call uncle 😆). Overall great experience!

In November 2023, I signed up for an optional tour to Sandbar with my daughter, but I had to cancel due to health issues. This time, I got my health back in order and participated in the tour. We had a great time with the live music on the boat, and I was excited to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time. I'm really glad I joined!

　2023年11月に、娘とサンドバーのオプショナルツアーを申し込んだのですが、体調を崩してキャンセルしました。
　今回は、体調を整えてツアーに参加しました。
　船上ライブで盛り上がり、初めてのSUPで気分が盛り上がりました。
参加して良かったです。

I was quite surprised by the height after seeing others, but once I went up, it was surprisingly okay. My Japanese is a bit broken, but it can be understood.

The boat sways quite a bit. The view is amazing!

他の方のを見て 結構な高さに驚いてしまい
ましたが、上がれば意外と大丈夫でした。
片言ですが日本語も通じます

ボート結構揺れます
景色最高です！

We participated as a family of six across three generations. The weather was great, and we were able to enjoy the city of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean and under the blue sky, which was a different perspective from what we usually see from the land. I challenged myself to float in the sky, and it wasn't scary at all; I was able to enjoy it to the fullest. The staff prioritized safety and were full of humor, which made us feel secure while participating. It's truly an enjoyable activity.

ファミリー3世代、6人で参加しました。
天候も良く、日頃陸地から見ているワイキキの街、ダイヤモンドヘッドを、海の上から、そして青空の中から楽しむことができました。
空に浮かぶということがイメージでずにチャレンジしたのですが、怖いこともなく、、存分に楽しむことができました。
スタッフの方々も安全を第一に対応していただき、またユーモアたっぷりで安心して参加できました。
本当に楽しめるアクティビティです。

I woke up at 4:30 AM to join the Hanauma Bay tour. I was picked up at the Ilikai Hotel, and the night broke as we headed towards Hanauma Bay. I lined up as soon as the gates opened at 6:45 AM and got my entry ticket for 7:20 AM. I paid $25 in cash, watched an environmental video, and arrived at the beach around 8:00 AM. I put on the rented wetsuit and entered the sea. I encountered a large school of fish and lost track of time until my pickup at 11:00 AM! It was deeply moving to visit Hanauma Bay for the first time in five years since my visit before the pandemic!

４時半起きでハナウマ湾ツアーに参加。
イリカイホテルでピックアップしてもらい、ハナウマ湾に向かう途中で夜が明ける。
6:45の開門と同時に列に並び、7:20の入場チケットをゲット。1人25ドルを現金で払い、環境ビデオを見て、8:00頃ハナウマ湾のビーチに到着。
レンタルしたウェットスーツを着て海に入る。魚の大群にも遭遇、11時の迎えまで、時間を忘れて楽しみました！
コロナ前の訪問以来、５年ぶりにハナウマ湾を訪れることができて感慨深かったです！

I'm giving a 4 out of 5 because the trek to the beach was a long hike. The description did say you had to take your kayak down to the beach yourself, but we weren't expecting such a long hike to start kayaking. Once down at the beach their were employees there to help you into your kayak and give you a good push to get you started. The water was amazing, the bird sanctuary was nice. We didn't make it to the snorkeling by kayak, but drove there because not everyone could have made it the whole way. Once we made it to the snorkeling area it was amazing. The reefs were beautiful and full of sea life. The price for the self guided was great. You get access to all of their gear all day until 5pm.

The two guides were quick and clear in their responses, and I was moved to see various fish and the honu (sea turtle). They considered the tidal conditions and adjusted the location accordingly, which made me feel safe participating. They kindly supported us when my husband and I were running late, and I'm really glad we joined. I felt that I would like to request their services again someday.

ガイドさんお二人の対応もテキパキで分かりやすく様々なお魚そしてホヌも見れ感動しました。
その時の潮の状況に合わせ場所も考え行動して下さり安心して参加出来ました。
私達夫婦が遅れていた時も優しくサポートして下さったり本当参加して良かったです。
またいつかお願いしたいと感じました
