All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

Holy cow, if you can afford this, DO IT! Up close and personal with the fishes--you can pet them and everything. There is a food thingey attached to each sub scooter, so that's why they are coming right up to you, it's awesome.
Lots of turtles in the water too--we had one swim right next to us! Afterward, when on the boat, several others swam close around us.
The divers were all great guys to work with. Very good at their job, and very nice to everyone. A great crew. They also take photos and video of you with the sea life while you are down there--you can purchase these afterward. Plan on it--$50 for both photos and video. They are great, and you can't get as good with your own camera (at least I don't see how you would).
I also preferred this to snorkeling, because of being deeper in the water, the view is much different, yet there are no worries about breathing or anything--it's the awesomeness of being in a bubble! Absolutely fantastic adventure. Highly recommend.

My first time in Hawaii, and I finally got to try parasailing! I chose this company because they offered free transportation and the option to select a height of 150 meters. Our driver, Yano, was very friendly and wonderful. The conversation was entertaining! We were the last to get out of the car, and they gave us hair accessories and juice as a gift (*ﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ Thank you!

The parasailing itself was amazing! I'm glad I chose the 150 meters. The weather was great, and I felt so happy! Seeing Hawaii from the sky was refreshing! Even if you're not good at English, you'll manage just fine. The staff were all very kind ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ I paid $30 and also bought an SD card. It was a great memory. Thank you!

初めてのハワイ、ずーっとやってみたかったパラセーリング！無料送迎がついていて、150ｍの高さを選択出来る、こちらの会社にお願いしました。ドライバーのやのさんは、とっても気さくな方で、素敵でした。お話が面白かった！車を下車するのが私達が最後だったのですが、髪飾りとジュースをプレゼントしてくれました(*ﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉありがとうございます。
肝心のパラセーリングも最高でした！150ｍにして良かったです。天気もよく、幸せでした！空から眺めるハワイ、気持ちが良いです！英語が苦手でも何とかなります。スタッフの皆さん、優しいです( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
30＄支払い、SDカードも購入。良い思い出です。
ありがとうございました。

I apologize for the last-minute check-in and the mix-up with the location, but I appreciate your quick response, which allowed us to attend the lesson as scheduled without any issues. Thank you very much!

This was my third time, and it was my companion's first time, so they were a bit nervous at first, but soon we could see smiles, and they were saying how much fun they had!

I truly believe that the experience of looking at Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the vast ocean is a precious one!

バタバタとギリギリチェックイン、その上場所も間違えるというご迷惑をおかけしましたが、迅速に対応して頂いて、問題なく予定通りレッスンを受ける事が出来ました。ありがとうございました！
私は３回目、同行者は初めてで最初は恐る恐るでしたが、途中から笑顔が見られ、楽しかったー！と喜んでいました！
ワイキキビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドを大海原から眺める感覚は本当に貴重な体験だと思います！

Friendly and professional crew. We felt safe and in good hands. View of Waikiki was spectacular!

We took our family of 5, including kids ages 13, 11, & 7. Everyone had a fabulous time, and we only wish we could've done it again. Highly recommended!

I had such a wonderful time!

This was the best way to explore the west side of the island, and we visited so many beautiful spots off the beaten path!

Akima and Robert are really good guides and snorkel instructors. They know a lot about the island and gave us rich information about the history of Hawaii, the legends and marine life. They have maps and pictures to illustrate what they are talking about. They are also professional photographers and took many cool pictures for us, including underwater shots. The vehicle was very clean and comfortable and they were on time for pick up.

My favorite time was the snorkel, I am not a good swimmer but the guides made me feel very comfortable and safe.

I would definitely recommend Hawaii Real Nature to everyone visiting Oahu!

I participated with my husband.

In addition to us, there was a newlywed Japanese couple and a family with small children from abroad on the tour (^ ^).

The tour bus arrived about five minutes early, but it was a regular blue van, not a flashy trolley. The foreign driver was standing outside the door, but he didn’t say anything, so when I asked, “Parasailing?” he smiled and confirmed our names (^ ^). Upon closer inspection, I noticed that his T-shirt had "Extreme Parasail" written in English.

The bus took about five minutes to reach the location of the boat. Once we boarded, there were two foreign parasailing instructors. Both were wearing sunglasses and looked quite handsome, which got me excited, haha.

The explanation was given in English, but they also showed us a paper with safety instructions written in Japanese. I don’t understand English at all, but they occasionally mixed in some Japanese, so it was no problem (^ ^).

The instructors looked like charming guys, but they were very attentive to safety. Even if someone casually did something dangerous, they were watching closely and would give a warning, haha.

Thanks to that, I was able to take off with great peace of mind (^ ^).

I wouldn’t say I have a fear of heights, but I definitely can’t cross suspension bridges, and I’m scared even on the Disney roller coasters, so I was worried, but it was totally fine!

The scenery was truly breathtaking. A grand panorama. I felt like a bird. The sky is so quiet.

Of course, the view while flying was amazing, but even just being on the boat was quite thrilling and very satisfying!

Photos are taken for $30, but we took turns taking pictures among ourselves as Japanese (^ ^).

In the end, I gave the instructor a $5 tip (^ ^).

I was so satisfied that I regretted not bringing a little more money for tips!!!

I really recommend it (^ ^).

主人と参加しました。

ツアーには私達の他に日本人の新婚さん一組、外国人の小さな子供連れ家族が一組でした(^ ^)

ツアーバスは5分前には迎えに来てくれましたが、派手なトロリーではなく普通の青いバンでした。
また、運転手の外人さんがドアの外に立っていましたが声をかけてくる事は無いので、
こちらから「パラセーリング？」と声をかけたら笑顔で名前を確認してくれました(^ ^)
よく見たら運転手さんのTシャツにエキストリームパラセールと英語で書いてありました。


バスは5分ほどで船のある場所に到着、船に乗り込むと外国人のパラセーリングのインストラクターさんが二人います。
二人ともサングラスでしたがかなりイケメン風でテンション上がりました笑

説明は英語で話しますが、日本語で書いた注意事項の紙を見せてくれます。
英語は全くわかりませんが、たまに日本語も交えてくれるので全然問題ありません(^ ^)

インストラクターさんはイケメンチャラ男風ですが(すみませんw)安全面にはしっかり配慮してくれます。
何気なく危ない事をすると、見てないようでしっかり見ていて注意されます笑

おかげでとっても安心して飛び立つ事が出来ました(^ ^)

私は高所恐怖症とまでは言いませんが、吊り橋などは絶対渡れませんし、ジェットコースターもディズニーランドのもので限界なくらい怖がりなので心配でしたが、全然大丈夫でした！

本当に感動の景色。大パノラマ。
鳥になった気分。空って静かなんだなー。



また、飛んでからはもちろん感動の景色ですが、ボートに乗っているだけでもかなり迫力があり大満足です！

写真は30ドルで撮ってくれますが、私達は日本人同士で取り合いっこしました(^ ^)

最後にインストラクターさんに5ドルチップを渡しました(^ ^)

大満足だったので、チップのお金をもう少し持っていけば良かったと後悔したくらいです！！！


本当にオススメです(^ ^)

My first parasailing experience!
Two handsome guys assisted us.
We boarded a boat with four groups of participants and headed to the parasailing location.

We challenged ourselves to the highest height of 150 meters.
It was much less scary than I expected, and the flying time was so much fun!!
The guys even played around by intentionally dropping us into the sea, which added to the experience. The water wasn't cold, and it was really enjoyable!
Make sure to wear a swimsuit since you might get wet!

They also took photos and made a DVD for us. I think it was $30? It does cost money, but everyone on the same boat bought it!
It became a wonderful memory★
Thank you!

初めてのパラセイル！
イケメンお兄さん2人が対応してくれました。
4組の参加者と一緒にボートに乗り、
パラセイルを行う場所まで行きます。

私たちは一番高い150ｍに挑戦しました。
思っていたよりも全然恐くなく、
とっても楽しい飛行時間でした！！
お兄さんたちが海にわざと落とすなど、演出をしてくれました。水も冷たくなく、とても楽しかったです！
濡れても良いよう、水着着用は絶対です！

写真も撮ってくれて、DVDにしてくれます。30ドルだったかな？お金は掛かりますが。同じボートだった方々もみんな買っていました！
とっても良い想い出になりました★
ありがとうございます。

I was able to experience parasailing efficiently within a tight schedule, which was great. A van arrived to pick us up 15 minutes before the meeting time. They waited while calling out to us until the exact departure time. It can be a bit hard to find if you're at a distance, so it's good to be cautious and stand near the road. Parasailing felt safer and less scary than I imagined. The view was also amazing and breathtaking. I highly recommend it.

タイトな日程の中で効率よくパラセイリングを体験できよかったです。
集合場所には15分前には迎えのワンボックスが来ました。出発時間きっかりになるまで
声掛けしながら待っていてくださいます。ちょっと離れた場所だとわかりづらいので、注意して道路付近に出ているとよいです。パラセイリングは想像よりも怖くなく安全な気がしました。
眺めも良く感動します。おすすめです。

I really wanna try it again........
The staff are very nice.......

I forced my 7-year-old daughter to join, but she got seasick while waiting for our turn for parasailing. If you see that view, even those with a fear of heights won't have to worry about the height at all! It might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication to avoid getting sick on the boat.

７歳の娘を無理やりに連れて参加しましたが、パラセイリングの順番を待っている間に船に酔ってしまいました。
高所恐怖症の方もあの景色を見れば、高さの怖さは全く心配することはないですよ！
船で酔わないよう、酔い止めを飲んで参加した方が良いかな。

Boarding on the beach side of the Sheraton Waikiki. The waves were a bit rough, so my clothes got wet, but they dried quickly. As we moved away, the tall hotels of Waikiki became smaller, and as soon as we passed Diamond Head and entered the open sea, the waves got higher, creating an exhilarating thrill as the waves splashed onto the boat. Once we were in the open sea, the wind picked up and the waves became higher, so please participate in clothing that can get wet.

シェラトンワイキキのビーチ側にて乗船。波があったので洋服が濡れましたがすぐに乾きました。どんどん離れるワイキキの高層ホテルが小さくなってダイヤモンドヘッドを過ぎたあたりの外海に出た途端に波が高くなって船にまで波が上がって来てスリル満点でした。外海に出ると風も強くなり波も高くなるので濡れても大丈夫な服装で参加してください。

We were the only Japanese family there. There were people from various countries, and some had babies with them. Since we also had a one-year-old, it was reassuring. The weather was just perfect, and the sea breeze felt great. Everyone around us was enjoying Mai Tais and having a good time. We sped quite far out to sea, and the splashes of water were amazing. It was definitely the right choice to wear swimsuits. Our five-year-old son was sitting at the front and was super excited. Luckily, we even encountered a sea turtle, which was a nice surprise. The captain looked a lot like Brad Pitt and was very handsome.

I would love to go on this trip again when I visit Hawaii. I want to recommend it to others as well.

日本人は私たち家族だけでした。
いろんな国の人達がいて、赤ちゃん連れもいました。うちにも1歳児がいたので安心しました。
ちょうど天気も良くて、海風が気持ちよかったです。周りの人達は皆んなマイタイを飲んでいい感じに盛り上がっていました。かなり沖合までスピードを上げて行くので水しぶきが凄かったです。水着を着て行き正解でした。また5歳の息子は先頭に座ってハイテンションでした。運良く、海亀にも遭遇出来てラッキーでした。キャプテンがブラピ似でとてもイケメンでした。笑

またハワイに行ったら乗船したいと思います。
周りの人にも勧めたいです。

I booked the longest time to be in the air, but it was almost the same as those who booked for a shorter time. The person piloting the boat had something like a reservation card, but they didn't check it, and it felt quite casual. The parasailing itself was a lot of fun. Next time, I think I might try booking with another tour company after arriving in Hawaii.

一番長い間空中にいるものを予約しましたが、短い時間を予約した方とほとんど変わりませんでした。船を操縦している人が予約カードのようなものを持っていましたが、確認もしていなくてアバウトな感じでした。パラセイリング自体はとても楽しかったです。今度はハワイに到着してから他のツアー会社で頼もうかな、と感じました。

Did a semi-private lesson with two friends which was perfect. Jordan man, so good, he was an amazing instructor, kind and supportive and super friendly, and he got us all up on our boards and surfing on our own within the first hour. The day was bright, waves were slow but incoming, and the view of Waikiki from the water was unforgettable! Thanks to Hans Hedemann Surf School and HawaiiActivities.com. Ah man, such a great way to spend the morning.

It was low tide, so we couldn't meet the sea turtles, but it was a fun tour!

I borrowed a wetsuit ($10) to avoid sunburn and keep my body warm. I was able to swim without getting cold.

Thank you, Dan and Chieko!

引き潮だったので、ウミガメちゃんには遭えませんでしたが、楽しいツアーでした♪

日焼けと体温温存のためにウェットスーツをお借りしました。（＄10）
身体も冷えることなく、泳いでいられました。

ダンさん、チエコさん
ありがとうございました

It was really fun, but although it said there would be a Japanese instructor, there wasn't anyone who could speak at all. I was scared to go out to sea without understanding the explanations at all. I managed to do it by mimicking others, so that was good.

すごくたのしかったけど、日本語インストラクターと書いてあったけど、一切話せる人はいなかった。説明がまったく、わからないまま海に出ることが怖かった。見よう見まねでやってみてできたからよかったけど。

Couldn't have had a better first time experience. From the pick-up to drop-off...everything was excellent and very professional.

Since you're scootering around in a bay, you won't have the beauty of any coral reefs but bread feeding will attract the fish and the experience as a whole is alot of fun. You can snorkel around and if you have an underwater camera like I did, you can take some really fun pictures. There are scuba diving lessons going on in the area as well as the water jet pack session. The captain and the diving crew were fun and helpful. Your safety is the #1 thing on their minds. The water was warm enough and even though we were on a boat with no English speaking people, we all had a good time.

Since all the staff were Japanese, the explanations were easy to understand, and I was able to get on right away, which made me feel safe and enjoy myself. I was also happy that the accompanying staff took many photos when I handed over my digital camera. I had so much fun that I want to choose a longer course next time I come!

全員日本人スタッフさんだったので、説明もわかりやすく、すぐに乗れるようになり、安心して楽しめました。持ってきたデジカメを預けたら、同行スタッフさんがたくさん撮ってくださったのも嬉しかったです。次にまた来れたら、もっと長く乗れるコースにしたい！と思うくらい楽しかったです。

It was much more beautiful to see the fish and turtles swimming up close than just through snorkeling, and I was truly moved. They took beautiful photos and videos for me, and I couldn't help but buy the video, especially since it captured the turtles swimming beautifully for a long time. I also appreciated that they sent the purchased photos and videos via email. The diving guides were all very kind. However, while they could speak some Japanese, there were moments when communication was a bit challenging. There were only two underwater scooters available on one boat, so while waiting, you could go snorkeling, but the timing for getting in and out wasn't very clear, so you had to be careful not to bump into the divers. You could say it was a bit haphazard, or you could say it was free-spirited, but overall, I had a great time. It became a wonderful memory!

魚やカメが間近で泳ぐところを、シュノーケリングで見るよりも何倍もきれいに見れて、感動しました。写真と動画もきれいに撮ってもらい、特に動画にはカメの泳ぐところがきれいに長く映っていたので、思わず買ってしまいました。買った写真と動画は、データでメールに送ってくれるのもありがたかったです。案内のダイバーの方々もみんな親切でした。ただ、日本語がぺらぺらかというとそうではなく、少し意思疎通が難しいところもありました。水中スクーターは1つの船に2つしかないので、待っている間はシュノーケリングをしてもよいのですが、入ったりあがったりするタイミングがはっきりしていないので、自分で気をつけていないとダイバーの人とぶつかりそうになってしまいます。悪くいえば適当、良くいえば自由ですが、全体的にとても楽しかったです。いい思い出になりました！

This tour never gets old. Convenience is key, and it is always on time, and always with the snorkeling gear. Nothing is better than Hanauma Bay!!!

This is an adventure that everyone must go on. Our tour guide was informative, patient and hilarious! Being a first time kayaker, he took the time to get me comfortable paddling before heading out. The hike was great and the waterfall was breathtaking! So many things to see along the way, all of which our guide pointed out. I would highly recommend this to everyone who visits the island. Thanks for the great memories. Be back soon!

I was worried about the height, but choosing 150 meters was the right decision! The weather was clear, and the view was amazing!! My spouse and I had a great time (laughs). I was concerned because reviews mentioned that the pickup bus can be late, but it arrived on time, and the driver, although he didn't speak Japanese, was very nice. I definitely recommend 150 meters for those who are unsure. It became a wonderful memory!

高さを悩みましたが150メートルにして正解でした！
快晴だったため、とても気持ちよく景色が最高でした！！夫婦二人ではしゃぎました(笑)
迎えのバスが口コミでは遅れることがあると書かれていたので心配でしたが、時間通りでドライバーさんも日本語は通じませんがとてもいいかたでした。悩まれるかたは絶対に150メートルをおすすめします。とてもいい思い出になりました！

I experienced this with my 10-year-old child. The view was perfect, and we even got to play in the sea for a bit, which made my child very excited. I highly recommend it!

10歳の子供と体験しました。
眺めもバッチリで途中、海にもポッチャリさせてもらたりして子供もおおはしゃぎでした。
是非オススメです。

I participated with six friends, and the service was prompt. They were able to communicate in a bit of Japanese, and above all, the guide was handsome (laughs). If there's another opportunity, I would love to join again!

友人6人で参加しましたが、対応も迅速で多少の日本語で対応して頂けましたし、なんといってもガイドのお兄さんがハンサムでした(笑)
機会があればまた宜しくお願いします！

The weather was great, and the view was amazing! I got a little seasick, but while flying, it felt so good that I almost forgot about it!

お天気も良くて最高の景色でした‼︎
少し船酔いしてしまいましたが、飛んでると気持ち良くて忘れるくらいでした‼︎

I normally do not write reviews, but this was needed. Please read this through to the end for the grand finale. The trip to the falls with Adam from Outfitters was about as good as it gets. He was very knowledgeable and engaging. My wife and I took a relaxed approach when preparing for this trip and wore flip-flops (not recommended due to the muddy trail you need to hike). When we arrived at the trail, Adam actually took the time to identify a local plant, strip the bark, and retrofitted our flip-flops into sandals. Someone in our group actually thought it was a set-up, but it wasn’t. Beyond just that, he kept the group together throughout while keeping the trip new and fresh with information. I would imagine being in his shoes, being a guide day-in and day-out; it would be natural tendency to become a little dull or burned out, but maybe not, and not Adam. To top it all off, on our way back kayaking along the river, he helped to salvage a sinking kayak and rescue two panicked people, who were with another kayak company. These two people were stranded and abandoned by their guide, with their Kayak filling with water and sinking. Adam and another local guide came to the rescue, initiated help from a couple other kayakers nearby (including us), and managed to drain the water filled kayak, pluck the two people from the river, and get them back safely to the dock, including the damaged kayak. At the same time he ran into the guide for those people and being very classy said to him “You got my back next time right?”. (I don’t think I would have been as nice.)

I participated alone this time. Therefore, I ended up paragliding with two Japanese women who were also on the tour. As mentioned in the posted experiences, I referenced the note about wanting to try 150 meters next, and even though it was my first time paragliding, I decided to challenge myself with the 150 meters.

The moment the parasail lifted off from the boat was a bit scary, but after that, it was so much fun, and I was able to enjoy a fantastic view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sky. At 150 meters, the flying time was quite long, and I was very satisfied. I was able to have a casual conversation with the women I flew with, which was nice, but for those who might feel a bit uneasy about flying with others, I recommend participating in groups of two to three.

私は、今回一人で参加しました。そのため、ツアーに参加されていた日本人女性の方２人と一緒にパラセイリングで飛ぶことになりました。
投稿されている体験談にもあったように、１５０mを次はトライしたいと書いてあったのを参考に、初めてのパラセイリングでしたが１５０mに挑戦しました。
最初の船からパラセイルがふわっと浮く瞬間はちょっと怖かったですが、そのあとは、とっても楽しく、また空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドが一望でき、とても素敵な体験ができました。１５０mだと飛んでる時間もかなり長く、大満足です。今回一緒に飛んでくださった女性の方とはフランクにいろいろお話できたので、よかったですが、他の方と飛ぶのはちょっと、、、、という方は、２名〜３名での参加をおすすめいたします。

The weather was great on the day, and we had a wonderful experience!

During our time there, we were the only Japanese participants, while the other four groups were all foreigners. We didn't speak much English and felt a bit lost trying to keep up with the conversations between the local guide and the other participants, but the important thing was that the guide communicated in simple English and some Japanese, which made it enjoyable for us. In fact, the other four groups were couples, and we were a duo of two women, so we ended up interacting with them quite a bit... right? (laughs)

We signed up for the 130 meters height. However, I’m not sure what height the others signed up for or if we really did the 130 meters. It felt like we flew longer than expected, and it was fun. The view was truly spectacular!! Just be aware that even if you say you don’t want to get wet, they will pretend to drop you into the sea. It was fun in the end, though! (laughs)

As others mentioned, photos are taken for $30. We considered asking other participants to take our pictures, but we couldn't bring ourselves to do it with the foreigners. (laughs) Of course, some of the photos were blurry, but they took about 80 pictures and a few videos, so we were really satisfied! I think there might be some variation in the number of photos, but they burn the CD right there and hand it to you, so there's no waiting.

While preferences for height may vary, I’m really glad I got to go parasailing! I recommend it to anyone who is considering it!＼(^o^)／

当日は天候にも恵まれ、とてもいい経験ができました！

私たちが参加した時間は、日本人は私たちだけで他の4組はみんな外国の方でした。私たちはあまり英語ができず、現地ガイドさんと周りの参加者たちの会話についていけずぽかーんというかんじでしたが、大事なことはガイドさんが覚えた日本語や簡単な英語で楽しく伝えてくれたため問題ありませんでした。むしろ周り4組はカップルで私たちは女性2人組みだったので多く絡んでもらえたような・・・？笑

高さは130Ｍで申し込みました。が、他の方が何Ｍで申し込んだのか、私たちがほんとに130Ｍだったのかはわかりません。思っていたより長く飛んでいた気がして楽しかったです。本当に絶景です！！ただ、濡れたくないと言っても海に落とすふりしてぽちゃんとしてきます。結果楽しかったですが笑

写真は他の方たちも記載していたように30ドルで撮ってくれます。他の参加者に撮ってもらおうとも考えましたが外国の方たちには頼むことができませんでした。笑　もちろんピンボケしている写真もありますが、約80枚の写真と少しの動画も撮ってくれたので本当に満足です！写真の量には差があるとも思いますが・・・ＣＤその場で焼いて渡してくれるので待つこともありません。

高さは好みもあるかと思いますが、パラセイリングができたことは本当によかったです！
悩んでる人にはおすすめです＼(^o^)／
