All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

We enjoyed the kayak and snorkel tour. The guides were very knowledgeable and helpful, etc... The morning tour has an early start, but the bonus of the dolphins was well worth the effort.

I booked this tour for my husband, who loves roller coasters. I have a fear of heights, so I was really scared, but surprisingly, it was okay. The parasailing, which slowly rises high, seems to be recommended even for those with a fear of heights. If you're going to do it, I recommend challenging yourself to the highest feet.

ジェットコースター大好きの夫のためにこのツアーを申し込みました。私は高所恐怖症なので本当に嫌でビビっていましたが、意外と大丈夫でした。ゆっくり高く上がるパラセイリングは、高所恐怖症の人にも勧められそうです。どうせやるなら、一番高いフィートに挑戦することをおススメします。

I was satisfied with the fun and beautiful sea experience. The boat taxi to the venue was incredibly exciting, and I enjoyed it even beyond the main event. However, I was disappointed that the aerial stay time was shorter than indicated. After the event, they played a video, but it was only 7 minutes from start to finish. The displayed time was half of that, which seems incorrect. Even though 7 minutes was enjoyable, I believe the time should be accurately stated. That's the only point I would deduct for.

楽しくって綺麗な海を堪能できて満足できました。会場までのボートタクシーみたいなのも、ものすごく豪快で本編以外でも楽しめました。が、空中滞在時間が表示より短くって残念です。終了後、ビデオ画像を流されるのですが、始めから終わりで7分でした。表示の半分はおかしいですよね。7分でも堪能できるので、時間は正しく記載すべきだと思います。そこだけが減点です。

This was a wonderful activity. The guides are knowledgable, patient, and friendly. Be sure to wear your bug repellant on the hike. It takes a little time to get going, but the tips for proper kayaking/zipping and safety are well worth it!! A special shout out to Mahow (Heavenly Mist) and Aaron, you're AWESOME.

The view was breathtaking. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Highly recommended,

I went on a training trip to Hawaii with my company. A van picks you up from the hotel. After visiting each hotel, we arrived at the boat dock. After switching to the boat and departing, we put on life jackets before heading out to sea. There were about three other groups on the same tour, and we took turns parasailing. You can also purchase photos taken by the tour staff (around $30 per group). While parasailing, it feels amazing to be floating in the air, but while waiting for your turn, you are swayed by the waves, so if you are prone to motion sickness, it's better to take some anti-nausea medication. We reached a height of 150 meters, but since there was only ocean around, it didn't feel as high as I expected. At the end, we splashed into the sea and were lifted up one last time before finishing. This is definitely a tour you should experience if you go to Hawaii!

会社の研修旅行でハワイに行ったときにしました。ホテルまではバンで迎えに来てくれます。各ホテルを回ったあと、船乗り場に到着。船に乗り換え出発後、沖に出るまでにライフジャケットを装着します。おなじツアーのグループが他に3組ほどいて、順番にパラセイリングをします。ツアーの人の撮影した写真（USBメモリ）を買うこともできます。（1グループで30ドルくらいだったかな）パラセイリング中は宙に浮いているのですごく気持ちが良いですが、順番が待っている間はずっと波にゆられているので、乗り物酔いをしやすい人は酔い止めをのんだほうがよいです。高さ150メートルでしたが、まわりに海しかないので思ったより高さはそんなに感じなかったです。最後に海ポチャしてまた一瞬高くあげられて終了です。ハワイに行ったらぜひ体験してほしいツアーです！！

First of all, I was 40 minutes late for the meeting at the hotel. When I got there, it felt like our flying time was shorter compared to other groups, which made me wonder, but since I'm not good at English, I couldn't ask. However, it turned out to be short, and other members of the group noticed something was off as well. One of them negotiated for the photo fee (the photos taken by the staff) to be waived. Thanks to that, I felt a bit better knowing that there are good people in the world.

Later, I received a message from the tour company saying that I had booked for 120 meters but only flew for 45 meters, and they would refund the difference. So, it seems that only the local staff was unpleasant, and I think I was just unlucky. I feel foolish for not being able to assess the situation on the spot and for giving a tip to the local staff.

まず、ホテルまでの待ち合わせに、４０分も遅れて来ました。現地では他のグループに比べて飛んでる時間が短い気がして、あれ？と思いましたが英語が苦手なので聞くことも出来ず。しかし、やはり短かったようで、他のグループの方も異変に気づいており、その方が写真代(スタッフにお願いする写真)を無料になるよう交渉してくれてました。おかげで世の中には良い方もいるんだなーという気持ちになり、少し気分が救われました。その後、ツアー会社から120mで申し込んでいましたが、45mしか飛んでなかったと連絡があり、その差額分を返金するとの連絡がありました。よって、現地のスタッフだけが嫌な方で、運が悪かったのかなーと思います。その場で状況が判断出来ず、現地スタッフにチップを払ってしまった自分が情けないです。

At first, I was confused because I didn't know where to meet, and I was surprised that the welcoming vehicle was something like a trolley. However, they called out to me properly, so I was able to get on safely.
The captains were great and kept the atmosphere lively, making it enjoyable even when we weren't parasailing.
I hadn't planned on taking photos and only brought a minimal amount of money, so I regretted not bringing more when I saw how many photos they took.
I highly recommend it! It was super fun!

最初、集合場所もわからなくて戸惑いましたが、お迎えの車もまさかトロリーの様なものとはおもわずまた戸惑いました(笑)でもきちんと声をかけてくれたので無事に乗れました。
キャンプテン達が良かったのか盛り上げてくれて、パラーセリングしてない間も楽しく、とても良かったです！
そして写真を頼むつもりもなく、最低限のお金しか持ってこなかったので、こんなに写真撮ってくれるならもっとお金持って来れば良かった〜て後悔しました。
オススメです！超楽しかったです！

I participated in the morning course. The instructors are very attentive, so even beginners can feel at ease. I don't have much stamina, so I got tired early on, but thanks to our guide Dan, who helped me and encouraged me multiple times, I was able to stay with the other participants until the end. Hanauma Bay has a lot of fish swimming around, and you can see them up close. I was able to see three sea turtles, which was very moving. Since it had been a while since I swam, I was completely exhausted by the time I returned to the hotel, and I regret not being able to properly thank Dan. I would definitely like to participate again when I go to Hawaii. Thank you, Dan!

午前のコースに参加しました。
丁寧に教えてくれるので、初心者でも安心です。
体力のない私は早い段階で疲れてしまいましたが、
ガイドのダンさんが手を引いてくださったり、
何回も励ましてくださったおかげで、参加者のみなさんと一緒に最後まで参加することができました。
ハナウマ湾は魚がたくさん泳いでいて、間近で見ることができます。
ウミガメは3匹も見ることができ、とても感動しました。
久しぶりに泳いだので、ホテルに帰宅するときには疲れきっており、
ダンさんにちゃんとお礼をすることができなかったのが心残りです。
またハワイに行く時はぜひ参加したいです。
ダンさんありがとうございました。

We went out to the open sea for some activities.
I challenged myself to 120 meters and could see birds flying below me.
At first, I was a bit anxious, but once I took off, it was very quiet and over in no time.
For $30, you can have photos taken.

海の沖のほうに出てアクティビティをします。
１２０mにチャレンジし鳥が自分より下を飛んでいるのがわかります。
最初は少し不安でしたが、飛立つととても静かであっという間でした。
３０＄払うと写真を撮ってもらえます。

We had 3 athletic families attend this trip with adults and teens. The kayaking was BEAUTIFUL on the way 'in' to the hike (current and wind assisting). The hike itself was a bust and we all like to hike. Our guide left us to our own devices for most of this trip and was of little guidance. Even wading through the water to the hike our guide took us the more difficult route. We know this because on our return to the kayaks a couple of us followed a different guides route across the river which was so much simpler and safer! The hike was muddy and slippery despite having good water/hiking shoes. We had adults/kids fall many times and one significant injury. Others had already slipped in this location yet our guide offered no help or alternative. In early July, unfortunately the waterfall yielded little water. The hike not worth the end result. We did enjoy the 'work out' aspect of the kayak trip back. It was beautiful but challenging going against the current if you aren't a regular kayaker.

At a minimum: I'd rate this a moderate adventure and challenging for individuals who aren't regularly very active.

I participated for the first time this time at the request of my companion.

We headed to the sea on a wild trolley driven by an old man with long gray hair... It was a different kind of intensity compared to a sightseeing trolley, and I thought it was an attraction in itself. (laughs)

In the midst of that wild trolley ride, I was casually made to sign a document stating that they wouldn't take responsibility if something happened. (laughs)

After that, we checked in at a booth by the seaside (they spoke Japanese), and waited for the welcoming boat next to the booth. We were the only Japanese participants, and there were people from various Asian countries and a family from Australia, which made me a bit worried. Plus, there wasn't much shade, so I got a little tired.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, the boat arrived. A cheerful person who could speak broken Japanese guided us to the boat, and we took off at full speed into the sea...

I checked reviews beforehand and saw that some people got seasick, so I took motion sickness medication. The small boat sped along, jumping over waves, so I recommend taking medicine if you're prone to motion sickness. After that, even when others were flying, the boat was still quite bumpy.

Before I knew it, I was strapped into the equipment, told to sit here, and had the gear fastened on me, and then we were off into the sky...

There was no time to think about being "scared" as we were launched into the air. (laughs)

Being up in the sky felt strange, and I naturally smiled. We didn't request the photo service ($30), so we tried to take pictures ourselves, but due to the fear, we couldn't manage any selfies... (laughs)

I thought it would have been fun to capture interesting footage if we had brought a GoPro.

However, this strange experience left a huge impression on me even without photos, and in the end, I'm glad I tried flying.

But I might not recommend it for those who are afraid of heights? I was shaking while enjoying it. (laughs) There’s no feeling of floating like on a roller coaster during the ups and downs, so you can rest assured.

Honestly, I felt that there wasn't much difference between 110 meters and 150 meters, so I chose 110 meters and was very satisfied. I don't think higher is necessarily better. Next time, I might consider participating at 50 meters.

For those who are hesitant, I suggest starting at 50 meters...

同行者の希望で今回初めて参加しました。

白髪ロン毛のおじさんが運転する爆走トロリーで海へ…
観光トロリーとは違う激しさを体感できこちらもアトラクションかと思いました。笑

そんな爆走トロリーの中で死亡しても責任はとりません的な書類に、
さらっとサインをさせられました。笑

その後、海辺のブース？にて受付をし（日本語が通じました）
ブース横で迎えの船を待っていました。
参加者は日本人は我々だけで、アジア系の方々、オーストラリアからいらしたご家族
など多国籍で少し心配かつ日陰があまりないのでちょっと疲れました。

１０分くらい待ったあとに船が到着。
カタコトの日本語が話せる愉快な方が船まで誘導してくれ、
そのまま大爆走で海原へ…

事前にレビューをチェックしたところ、船酔いをした方がいらしたので、
酔い止めを飲みました。小型船でぶっ飛ばし、波をどんどん超えていくので、
苦手な方は薬を飲むことをお勧めします。そのあと、他の方が
飛んでいるときにも船に乗っているのでそこでも結構揺れました。

そしてあっという間に器具をつけられ、ここに座れと言われ、
カチャカチャ装具をつけられ、空へ…

「怖い」など考える暇もなく飛ばされてしまいました。笑

空の上は不思議な気持ちになり、自然と笑顔になりました。
我々は写真のサービス（３０ドル）をお願いしなかったので、
自分たちで写真を撮ろうとしましたが、恐怖のあまり、自撮りはできず・・・笑

Go proなどを持っていったら面白い映像を撮れただろうなと思いました。

でもこの不思議な体験は写真を撮らずともすごーーーく印象に残っており、
結果的には飛んでみてよかったと思っています。

しかし高いところが苦手な方にはおすすめしないかも？
私は楽しみながらも震えてました。笑
上り下りでジェットコースターのようなふーっと浮く間隔は全くないのでご安心を。

高さも110メートルでも150メートルでも正直変わらない気がして、
110メートルにしましたが大満足です。高ければいいというものではないと思います。
次は50メートルで参加してもいいかなと思っています。

迷っている方もまずは50メートルからどうぞ…

Very nice boat and crew. Good drinks but would have preferred an open bar like the Island Magic. Delightful sail. Would do again.

Very great tour, picked up on time, friendly conversation. This was my first time snorkeling, and Dan, our guide, was terrific. I and my 11 year old are non-swimmer and Dan was very patient and worked to insure we had a great experience. We actually went pretty far out and Dan was besides us and checking on us to make sure we were ok. He was prepared with good equipment, got us through the Haunauma Bay entry easily, and took us on a wonderful swim with loads of fish to see. I would do this snorkeling tour again.

This was our first time snorkeling - and it was amazing! Dan was our guide and was absolutely the BEST! A must-do while visiting the Islands.

My family enjoyed this beautiful state
Park.
So beautiful. Peacful

I participated in 2009 and found it very interesting, so this time I joined with my mother. Our guide, Ken, was very kind, taking photos for us along the way and providing various explanations, which made it a lot of fun.

Since there were only a few people, we were able to swim and take our time taking photos at Flat Island, which was the best.

On the way back, instead of taking the shuttle bus, we rented bicycles and went snorkeling at Kailua Beach. The ocean was so beautiful, it felt like being in paradise.

The staff were truly kind and attentive. I will participate again.

2009年に参加してとても面白かったので、今度は母と参加しました。
ガイドの健さんがとても親切で、途中で写真を撮ってくれたり、色々説明してくれたり、とても楽しめました。
人数も少なかったので、フラットアイランドで泳いだりゆっくり写真を撮ったりできて最高でした。

帰りは送迎のバスに乗らずに自転車を借りてカイルアビーチでシュノーケリング。
海がとてもキレイで天国にいるみたいでした。

スタッフの方達が本当に親切で至れり尽せりでした。
また参加します。

WE LOVED THE BEACH AND MY GRANDCHILDREN ENJOYED SNORKELING

THIS WAS A 3 HR BEACH ADVENTURE WE WENT ON THE GLASS BOTTOM BOAT RIDE AND SAW THE LARGE TURTLE THE GRANDCHILDREN LOVED THE OTHER ACTIVIES ON THE BEACH

We participated as three adults. In Guam, we couldn't join due to strong winds, so I was determined to experience it. I was able to fully enjoy the thrill of 150 meters. Looking at the deep blue sea and sky, I felt like a bird; even though it was a short five minutes, it was pleasant. I also appreciated the captain's friendliness. Everything was in English, and I didn't understand the content at all, but I could see the surrounding foreigners laughing, so I felt they must have been having a fun conversation.

At first, my husband wasn't very enthusiastic, but it seemed he enjoyed it the most. Next time, I want to challenge something even higher.

大人3人で参加しました。グアムでは、風が強いと参加ができなかったので、絶対に経験したいと思っていました。150ｍのスリルを存分味わうことができました。真っ青な海と空を眺め、鳥になった気分で、5分間という短い時間でいたが、心地よかったです。また、船長さんの気さくさにも好感がもてました。すべて英語で、全く内容がわからなかったのですが、まわりの外国のかたが笑って見えたので、きっと楽しいお話をしているのだろうと感じました。
最初は、乗り気でなかった夫ですが、一番気に入っいたようです。次回は、もっと高いものに挑戦したいと思います。

This was my first experience with parasailing. I couldn't imagine what 90 meters would be like, but even for someone like me who isn't good with thrill rides, it was fine. You go up into the sky all at once from the cruiser. The view from above was amazing, as I could see the entire city of Waikiki, and it felt really good. The staff were locals, but they spoke some Japanese words, so there were no issues.

パラセイリング初体験です。90Ｍとはどんなものかも想像つきませんでしたが、絶叫マシンが苦手な私でも大丈夫。クルーザーから一気に空へと上がります。空からはワイキキの街全体が見られてとても気持ちがよかったです。スタッフは現地の方でしたが、単語日本語を話してくれるので問題ないです

Dan was Awesome! This was our best excursion! He was very patient with me as it took me a little longer to get acclimated. The kiddos were a natural ( 9 & 11). Thanks Dan for a memorable afternoon!

The instructor only spoke English, but since the parasailing setup is simple, advanced English wasn't really necessary. Q. Where should I hold? → "Grip the band and don't touch the hook." Q. How should I sit? → "Sit deep. No 'Carmen Electra' position!" They taught us things like that!! It was easy!! The view of Diamond Head and the hotels from the ocean in Waikiki was breathtaking. It was a wonderful experience. There were also people flying with a video camera attached to a selfie stick. It seems there is a band for securing it.

インストラクターの兄さんは英語のみしかはなせませんでしたが、パラセイルの作りが簡単なのかあまり高度な英語は必要ありませんでした。Q．手はどこを持つのか？→「バンドを握って、フックは触らないでね」Q．座り方はどうするのか？→「ふかく腰掛けてね。コマネチ状態はだめ〜」など、教えてくれました！！カンタンでした！！ワイキキの海から見下ろすダイヤモンドヘッドやホテルたちは圧巻。とても良い経験でした。ビデオカメラをセルフィー棒につけて飛んでいた人もいました。固定用のバンドがあるみたいです。

My family and I had such a wonderful time! Our guide Rusty was awesome and was so informative. He made sure that everyone was enjoying themselves. Definitely will be booking with you again.
Thanks again

I arrived in Honolulu and went shopping at Ala Moana before heading out! However, the trolley didn't come at all, and I ended up being late. I thought, "Oh no!!" but since this was my fifth time in Hawaii, I knew where the meeting point was, so I got off the bus and sprinted! They were waiting for me. The breeze felt nice, the ocean was beautiful, and the calm atmosphere made me truly appreciate Hawaii. Everyone, starting with the captain, was fun, and we enjoyed snacks while chatting over juice; the hour flew by. On the day of arrival, I was able to fully enjoy Hawaii at a leisurely pace, which was fantastic.

ホノルルに到着し、アラモアナでショッピングしてから出発！が、なんとトローリーが全く来なくて遅刻してしまいました。アウト！！と思ったけれどハワイ5回目の私は、集合場所がわかっていたため、バス停を降り全力疾走！！！ちゃんと待っていてくれました。風が気持ちよく、海が綺麗、穏やかな時間がハワイを実感させてくれました。キャプテンを始めみんな楽しい人達で、ジュースを飲みながらスナックのお菓子を食べ、楽しいトークであっという間の１時間でした。到着日は、ゆっくりハワイを満喫でき最高でした。

I had a great time. The shuttle service made me feel secure. I appreciated being able to choose the height. I recommend bringing a waterproof camera or smartphone.

とても楽しかったです。送迎つきなので安心です。高さを選べるのもありがたいです。防水のカメラかスマホを持っていくのをおすすめします。

Since it was my first time, I chose the lowest option at 45 meters, but I was very satisfied. There were no staff members who spoke Japanese, but it wasn't a problem!

初めてだったということもあり、一番低い４５メートルにしましたが十分満足できました。日本語が話せるスタッフさんはいなかったんですが、問題なかったです！

So glad we had the opportunity to try this activity! With no experience or certification in scuba diving, SNUBA tours of Kauai did an outstanding job creating this experience for us and some lasting memories! Family owned business - super people! Thanks Kevin and Stephanie!

I unexpectedly booked parasailing after my brother told me before departure, "You absolutely have to do it!!" The result was truly amazing!!! The first moment of takeoff was a bit scary, but once I was flying, I strangely felt no fear and was just intoxicated by the breathtaking views. In the end, as is customary, I was dropped into the sea and landed on the boat completely soaked.

I highly recommend taking advantage of the $30 photo service! You can receive dozens of photos on an SD card.

By the way, the boat goes quite fast and has some bumps, so if you are prone to motion sickness, it's better to buy some motion sickness pills at ABC Store and take them. (I usually don't get car sick, but I was quite affected this time.)

当初予定になかったパラセーリング、出発前に兄に「絶対やった方がいい！！」と言われて急遽予約を入れました。
結果は本当に最高でした！！！　飛び立つ最初の一瞬だけは怖かったけど、飛んでみると不思議に怖さはなく只々絶景に酔いしれていました。
最後はお約束？で海に落とされ全身ずぶ濡れになった後船に着地。
30ドルで写真撮影のサービスも絶対利用した方がいいです！
数十枚のデータをSDカードでもらえます

ちなみにボートは結構なスピードでしかも揺れがあるので乗り物酔いする人は
ABCストアで酔い止めを買って飲んだほうが良いです。（普段車で酔ったりしないですがこの時は結構やられました）

In late December, I participated in a snorkeling tour at Hanauma Bay. It was my first time snorkeling, and since my 7-year-old son was with me, I felt like I might have been a bit of a hassle for the instructor, but thanks to them, we were able to enjoy snorkeling. That day, I was suffering from severe jet lag and was incredibly sleepy, so in the end, I didn't join the tour and played in the sand with my child on the beach. I think it's better to go after you've adjusted to the time difference, as it requires quite a bit of physical energy. On the way back on the trolley, I spoke with the person sitting next to me, and they mentioned that around December, if the weather is good, it's not too hot, making it perfect for snorkeling. However, the instructor said that during that time, the weather can be unpredictable, and just last week, they were shivering while getting into the water. We were fortunate to have good weather.

12月下旬、ハナウマ湾シュノーケルツアーに参加しました。シュノーケルも初めてで、7歳の息子も一緒だったため、インストラクターの方には迷惑をお掛けしたかと思いますが、おかげでシュノーケルを楽しむことができました。その日は、時差ボケがひどく、眠くてしょうがなかったため、最後はツアーには行かず、浜で子供と砂遊びをしていました。かなり体力を使うので、到着して時差にも慣れた頃に行ったほうがいいと思います。帰りのトローリーで、となりに座った方と話しましたが、12月ごろは天気が良ければ、暑すぎないのでシュノーケル日和だとのことでした。ただ、その時期は天候に恵まれないこともあって、先週は震えながら水に入っていましたよとインストラクターの方はおしゃってました。天候に恵まれて、良かったです。
