All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

Waving goodbye to the gradually shrinking boat, I felt like I had the views of Waikiki, the sky, and the sea all to myself—it was the best! In the end, I had a charming little splash landing on my backside, which made me feel like a bird, and I was completely satisfied. The lovely broken English guide from the driver who picked us up was also enjoyable.

段々と小さくなるボートに手を振りながらワイキキの景色も空も海もひとりじめした気分で最高でした
最後はお尻だけチャプンと着水のご愛嬌も鳥になった気分で大満足
お迎えのドライバーさんのステキな片言ガイドも楽しかった

I was a little scared when taking off from the boat, but once in the air, it felt great with hardly any turbulence! When landing, they lowered us down to just above the water's surface (on purpose?) before bringing us back to the boat, which was thrilling and fun! One thing I regret is not asking the staff to take pictures, so I don't have any photos from the flight. They are very considerate and don't take photos and sell them without asking, so it seems you need to request it. If you want pictures, it's best to ask in advance! Still, it was a lot of fun, so I highly recommend it!

船から飛び立つ時は少し怖かったですが上空では揺れもあまりなくて気持ちが良かったです！降りる時は（わざと？）海面に足が触れるくらいまで下げてから船に降ろしてくれるのも迫力があって楽しかったです！1つ残念だったのが写真をスタッフの方にお願いしそびれて飛んでいる時の写真が無かったこと。良心的で勝手に写真を撮って売りつける様な事はしないので、お願いしないと撮ってくれないみたいです（苦笑）写真がほしい方は事前にお願いした方が良いですよ！それでもとても楽しかったのでおすすめです♪

First of all, a pickup came to the trolley stop near the hotel, making it easy to get around, and they also dropped us back at the hotel. It was my first experience with parasailing, and I felt a bit anxious at first, but once I was up in the air, all my worries disappeared. The view from above was incredibly beautiful, and the wind while being pulled by the boat was amazing. I could see Waikiki, downtown, and Diamond Head all at once, and the feeling of having that stunning view all to myself was truly luxurious! The parasailing lasted about 10 minutes, and there were two handsome guys on the boat who made the atmosphere really fun, which made it a great experience. They also took photos during the parasailing and on the boat, and although it cost $30, I was able to capture those wonderful memories. This experience made me want to try various water activities like parasailing again when I come back to Hawaii! Thank you very much!

まずは、ホテル近くのトローリー乗り場までお迎えが来てくれたので、簡単に移動ができ、帰りもホテルまで送ってくれました。パラセーリングの経験は初めてで、最初は不安な気持ちもありましたが、いざ自分が上空へ行ってみると不安だった気持ちは全くなくなりました。上空からの景色はとても綺麗で船に引っ張られながら感じる風は最高でした。また、景色はワイキキやダウンタウン、ダイヤモンドヘッドまでが一望でき、完全に独り占め状態の景色はすごく豪華なものでした！！約10分くらいのパラセーリングですが、船の上ではイケメン2人が楽しく雰囲気を盛り上げてくれ、とても楽しかったです。また、パラセーリング中や船の上での写真も撮ってくれ、30ドルのお金はかかるものの、楽しい思い出を形に残すこともできました。次にハワイへ来た時にもパラセーリングなどの海でのアクティビティーをいろいろとしたくなるような体験ができました！！ありがとうございました！！

On this day in Honolulu, the weather was quite changeable, with sunshine, clouds, and rain throughout the day. Just as we were about to board the catamaran, the skies began to look ominous, but on the water, there was a refreshing breeze and slightly larger waves, making for a fun sailing experience as we occasionally got splashed by the waves.

This time, we were the only Japanese tourists, and the explanations were, of course, in English. Even though we arrived at the meeting point on time, there was no catamaran...

I had been at the Sheraton Hotel the day before and had seen the boat docked, so I was confident that I was at the right meeting point, but I started to feel a bit anxious. Since I couldn't speak English, I showed the voucher at the counter and pointed to the time, and they informed me that the time had been changed.

I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful sea, sky, the city of Waikiki, and Diamond Head all at once. I will participate again next time.

この日のホノルルは、晴れたり、曇ったり、雨に降られたりのコロコロ天気が変わる一日で、丁度カタマラン号に乗る頃、雲行きが怪しくなったのですが、海上は爽やかな風とちょっと大きめの波で、時々波しぶきを浴びながらの楽しいセーリングでした。

今回、日本人観光客は私たちだけ、説明は当然英語・・
集合場所に時間通り行ってもカタマラン号は無く・・

前日にたまたまシェラトンホテルにいて、停泊を見ていたので集合場所は間違いないと確信していたのですが、少し不安になりました。
英語がしゃべれないのでカウンターでバウチャーを見せ、時間の所を指さしていると時間を書き換えて変更になった事を教えてくれました。

綺麗な海と空とワイキキの街そしてダイヤモンドヘット、
ハワイの良さを一度に満喫出来ました。
次回また参加します。

Kailua requires taking a bus that you might not be used to, and both Kailua Beach and Lanikai Beach are difficult to access from the bus stop, so I recommend this tour for both town and beach lovers!!

I recommend renting a mat to take to Kailua Beach, which is just a short walk from the tour company. The area under the shade of the trees has branches that can be painful if they fall. You can also borrow snorkeling gear for free, but there are no fish. Many people are relaxing on the beach. The morning is recommended as there are fewer people at the beach.

I rented a bicycle to get to Kailua Town ($10.47 per bike). They provide a map and explain how to get there. It can be a bit scary until you get used to the pedal brakes, but it’s manageable. It takes about 20 minutes on foot. Riding with the wind felt great.

For lunch, you can choose between a plate or pizza, and the staff-recommended spinach and garlic pizza was delicious.

For us, the time spent at both the beach and the town felt just right, though we could have used a little more. The staff could almost all speak Japanese, which was reassuring.

カイルアって、個人では慣れないバスに乗らないと行けないし、さらにカイルアビーチやラニカイビーチはバス停から行きにくいので、このツアーは、カイルアタウン派にもビーチ派にも、オススメします！！

主催会社から徒歩すぐのカイルアビーチへはゴザを借りて行くことをオススメします。日陰になる木の下は枝が落ちてて痛いです。シュノーケルセットも無料で借りられますが魚はいません。ビーチでのんびりしてる人が多いです。午前中の方がビーチの人は少なくてオススメです。
カイルアタウンへは自転車を借りました（$10.47／1台）。地図も貰えるし行き方も教えてくれます。自転車のペダルブレーキに慣れるまでは怖いですがなんとかなります。徒歩だと20分とのこと。風を切って走るのが気持ち良かったです。
ランチはプレートかピザが選べ、スタッフオススメのほうれん草とガーリックのピザが美味しかったです。
ビーチもタウンも、の私達には時間も少し物足りないかなくらいでちょうど良かったです。
スタッフもほぼ日本語が話せるので、安心できました。

I went parasailing yesterday! It was my second time in two years, and the height was thrilling and fun. The crew was also very lively!

However, they were 20 minutes late picking us up, and we had to wait about 30 minutes after arriving.

So, if you want to book another activity or restaurant next time, I think it's best to allow for some extra time.

昨日パラセーリングしてきました！
2年振り2回目ということで高さもあり楽しかったです。
クルーの方もノリが良かったです！

しかし、迎えに来るのが20分遅かったり、着いてからも30分くらい待ちました。

なので、次に別のアクティビティーやレストランを予約したい場合は、ある程度余裕を持った方がいいと思います。

This was an amazing experience!! It was my first time para-sailing and it was awesome!! If you haven't tried it, I tell you, go for it!! :) I loved it!!

The waves were quite challenging, but the scenery was beautiful, and I enjoyed it. The timing was just right. I was very satisfied with the staff's service, and it was fun.

The lunch pizza was as delicious as the reviews said. Be sure not to choose the loco moco!

波はそこそこあったので大変でしたが、景色がよく、楽しめました。
時間もちょうど良かったです。
スタッフの対応等はとても満足で楽しかったです。

ランチのピザは評判通りのおいしさでした。
くれぐれもロコモコを選ばないように！　

We, as a couple, enjoyed ourselves at our own pace with only the two of us participating. The sea kayaking, with no other boats nearby, offered breathtaking views and was truly wonderful. The snorkeling was more beautiful than I expected; I was considering diving in Hawaii, but I was completely satisfied with just snorkeling. However, I had read in reviews that photos would be taken, but we didn't receive any, and although it mentioned light snacks, nothing was provided. Kevin's stories were enjoyable, making for a great day.

参加者は私達夫婦のみでマイペースに楽しませてもらいました。他に船も近くにいない中でのシーカヤックは絶景で本当に素敵でした。またシュノーケリングは思った以上に美しく、ハワイでダイビングをしようか悩んでいましたがシュノーケリングだけで大満足でした。ただ、写真を撮って頂けるような事を口コミでみていたのですが一枚もなく、また軽食と書かれていたのに何もついてきませんでした。ケビンさんのお話も楽しく良い日になりました。

I had a great time during the first session. They spoke a little Japanese and understood me, which was nice. I definitely want to do it again! ♪

1回目で立てたしすごく楽しかったです
日本語も片言で話してくれるし理解してくれるのでよかったです
是非またやりたいです♪

This parasail experience was great from start to finish. They picked us up at our hotel promptly, our driver was very fun and knowledgeable about the island. Parasailing gives you just the right amount of adrenaline and once you're up there it's so relaxing. I got to go twice! And next time I visit Hawaii I will definitely do it again! Once we were done we got our pictures and crossed the street to the beach :)

There is a pickup service from Waikiki Beach.
After checking in, you board the boat, listen to the instructor's explanation, and put on your life jacket.
As you rise quickly, the ocean spreads out below you!
If you don't want to get wet, you can return without getting wet.
It was so much fun and went by in no time!

ワイキキビーチから送迎あり。
受付をして船に乗り、インストラクターの説明を聞き、ライフジャケット着用。
一気に上がると下は一面海！
水に濡れたくないといえば、濡れずに戻ってこられます。
すごく楽しくてあっという間でした！

Stand-up paddleboarding was more difficult than I expected due to the strong winds. There were three groups with two participants each, but we only had two paddleboards for six people, so I think it would have been better to have one more board.
The underwater scooter was easy to use, and I enjoyed the sea enough. I was very satisfied to see a turtle swimming nearby, hold a starfish, and have many fish come close to me.
When we got back on the boat, many people were exhausted from the cold and seasickness, and although I wanted to go snorkeling, I gave up. If there had been less wind, I think we could have enjoyed it more, but the weather is beyond our control.
I was anxious because I don't understand English, but Judy, who was a fourth-generation guide, was very friendly and kindly explained everything, so there were no issues at all.

スタンドアップパドルは、風が強すぎて、乗るのが思っていたより、難しかったです。2人参加で3組だったのですが、6人に2台のパドルだったので、もう一台あると良いと思いました。
水中スクーターは、耳抜きもすぐに出来て
十分海の中を楽しめました。カメが近くに泳いでいたり、ヒトデを持たせてくれたり、目の前にたくさんの魚が近寄って来てくれて、とても満足です。
船に上がると、皆んな寒さと船酔いで、ぐったりしている人が多く、シュノーケルもしたかったのですが、諦めました。
風が少なければ、もっと楽しめたのでしょうが、天候は仕方ないですね。
英語が分からないので不安でしたが、4世のジュディ？さんがとてもフレンドリーで親切に説明してくれたので、何の不都合もありませんでした。

I have a slight fear of heights, and I was quite nervous before getting on. However, the cool instructor explained everything carefully, which made me feel a bit more at ease. The explanation was in English, but there were parts that were easy to understand in Japanese.

The day of the experience was relatively windy, but the boat didn't sway much. After putting on the gear, I scooted to the back of the boat, and we were all set! Once we lifted off, it surprisingly wasn't that scary, and I was able to enjoy the view!

While we were up there, I felt like a bird♪ Since we went up in pairs, it’s perfect for couples! You can see the high-rise buildings of the hotel district all the way to Diamond Head, and the blue horizon and sky were absolutely beautiful!

At times, there was a little trick where my feet would touch the sea, but it actually felt nice♪ If you don’t want to get wet, just let them know before you go up, and they’ll make sure you stay dry from start to finish.

I didn’t have the courage to let go, so I left my waterproof camera on the boat, but I regretted a bit that I could have taken pictures when we were up there... (laughs) The instructor took photos with a zoom lens, and there’s also an option to have a video taken. Both require an additional fee to receive the data. While waiting on the boat, I wasn’t bored at all; I watched the experiences of other participants and enjoyed the scenery.

Overall, it was a very satisfying program!

プチ高所恐怖症で、乗る前は結構ドキドキしていました。ですが、インストラクターのかっこいいお兄さんに丁寧に説明してもらい、ちょっと安心。説明は英語でしたが、ところどころ日本語で分かりやすかったです。
体験した日は比較的、風が強い日でしたが、ボートはそんなに揺れませんでした。装備を装着し、ボートの後ろの方へ座りながらずりずり移動し、準備万端！ふわっと上がって、上がってしまったら意外に怖くなく、景色も楽しめました！
上がっている間は鳥になった気分♪ペアで上がるのでカップルにはぴったりですよ！ホテルの高い建物が並ぶビル群からダイヤモンドヘッドまでが一望でき、青く広がる水平線と空がとてもキレイでした！
時々、足が海につかるイタズラ?をされましたが、それすら気持ちいい♪濡れたくない人は上がる前に言っておけば、始めから最後まで濡れないようにしてくれます。
私は手を離す勇気がなかったので、防水のカメラをボートにおいて体験しましたが、上がった時に頑張れば写真撮れたな···とちょっと後悔(笑)インストラクターのお兄さんが望遠で写真撮ってくれますし、さらにオプションでビデオも撮れます。どちらもデータをもらうのに別料金が必要ですが。ボートで待っている間も、他の参加者の体験見たり、景色を眺めたりで退屈しませんでした。
こんな感じで、体験して大満足のプログラムでした！

The shuttle drivers, both to and from Hanauma Bay, were extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the island. They shared interesting facts along the way and made the drive an experience in itself. Not to mention, they were very prompt and the price was unbeatable! Would definitely recommend this shuttle if you're staying in Waikiki and would like to visit a beautiful beach with amazing snorkeling!

This is amazing experience, Staff was so nice and fun.
Recommendable for everyone
I would love to do this one again!!

We had a great time Dan and his wife were great to go snorkeling with. It's the only way to go!! Loved it

There were about 20 passengers on board, but only three of us were Japanese. My mother, who is 85 years old, enjoyed it. We were able to see a whale for a little while. As we went further out, the emerald green water turned into deep blue! My mother was also moved by it. You really get to feel Hawaii more than on the night cruise. The price is also much cheaper. It's about an hour and a half, so it's not too long, just the right amount of time. Drinking beer on the yacht and feeling the Hawaiian breeze is the best!

２０人位の乗船客でしたが、日本人は我々３人。母は８５歳ですが、楽しんでいました。クジラもちょっとだけ見れました。沖に行くと、エメラルドグリーンの色がディープブルーに！母も感動してくれました。夜のクルージングより、ハワイを実感します。料金もはるかに安いです。１時間半くらいですので長すぎなく、ちょうどいい時間です。ヨットの上で、ビールを飲んでハワイの風を感じる、最高！

Parasailing was my first experience, and since I don't understand English, I was quite worried, but I'm glad I tried it!! I was concerned about getting injured and what would happen if I couldn't understand the instructions, but they explained everything with gestures, and there weren't any difficult steps to follow. The anxiety was only before taking off, but once I was in the air, I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the ocean. While flying, it just felt amazing.

The photo service was $30, and they took over 100 pictures. I brought a waterproof digital camera (hanging around my neck), so I was able to take photos from the sky (the flight was stable enough), but I couldn't take pictures of myself, so it was great to have them taken for wonderful memories.

There was a bit of trouble with the pickup car being late, but the hotel front desk contacted them, and everything worked out. It was just Hawaiian time, I guess (laughs).

パラセイリングは初めて、英語もわからないので、かなり悩みましたが
やってみて良かった！！
怪我しないかな…、
説明が聞き取れなかったらどうしよう…と心配していましたが
身振り手振りで説明してもらえるし、そもそも難しい手順はありません。
不安なのは飛ぶまでで、いったん飛んでしまったら海の美しさに圧倒されてます。
飛んでいる間は、とにかく気持ちがいいです。

Photoサービスは３０$で１００枚以上撮ってもらえました。
防水のデジカメを（首からぶら下げて）持っていったので
空からの写真は撮れましたが（それほど飛行は安定しています）
自分の写真は撮れないので、撮ってもらって良い思い出になりました。

迎えの車が遅れるというトラブルがありましたが、
ホテルのフロントから連絡を入れてもらって事なきを得ました。
そこはハワイタイムということで(笑)

It was my son's second private lesson, and he had a very kind and easy-to-understand instructor who spoke to him multiple times with gentleness. I also found the instructor to be very friendly and pleasant. Both of them were able to ride the waves almost perfectly, and we were very satisfied. The next day, I tried it alone and was able to ride successfully. I thought about surfing when I return to Japan, but since my neck hurts, it's difficult for an old man to do it for long periods... Ah, it was fun.

12歳の息子と2回目のプライベートレッスンでした。息子のインストラクターの方はとても親切で分かりやすく優しく何度も話しかけてくださっていました。私の方もとても気さくな方でいい感じでした。二人ともほぼ波に乗れて大変満足でした。翌日私は一人でトライし、うまく乗ることができました。日本に帰ってもサーフィンしてみるかー？と思いましたが、ただ首が痛くなるので長時間はおじさんには無理ですね、、、ああ楽しかった。

This was the best part of my trip to Hawaii!
- Hanauma Bay is incredibly beautiful. I think it's the most beautiful spot on Oahu.
- The veteran guide takes you to great spots where you can see lots of fish.
- If you're not confident in swimming, the guide provides support, so you can feel at ease.
- The guide takes photos for you, and you can receive the data.
- They provide transportation to and from the hotel, which is super convenient.

I was truly fortunate to have such a great guide, and it was a fun snorkeling experience at Hanauma Bay! If I go to Hawaii again, I will definitely do this optional tour!

今回のハワイ旅行で1番良かったです！
・ハナウマ湾が綺麗すぎる
オアフで1番綺麗だと思いました
・ベテランガイドさんが良いスポットに連れて行ってくれるので魚がいっぱい
・泳ぎに自信がない方はガイドさんがサポートしてくれるから安心
・ガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれて、データでもらえる
・ホテルまで送迎してくれて楽チン

本当にガイドさんに恵まれて楽しいハナウマ湾のシュノーケルでした！またハワイに行ったら、
このオプショナルツアーは絶対します！！

It was such a lot of fun. Russel and Kevin were excellent professionals and really made us feel safe with their knowledge and skill. We really enjoyed the whole excursion from start to finish. The boat handled the windy and choppy conditions very comfortably. Para-sailing about 600 ft. above the ocean off Waikiki harbour was so quiet and exhilarating.

I was a bit anxious about snorkeling for the first time, but the guide (a Japanese woman and her husband) explained everything very kindly, so I was able to relax and enjoy it. Since the guide was a veteran, I was able to encounter the sea turtles I had hoped to see, as well as many other fish. Moreover, we had gone without an underwater camera and had given up on taking underwater photos, but the guide had taken some for us, which was a great help. It was also a big plus that we could enter the parking lot without waiting. I'm really glad I found this tour (the guide). If I come to Hawaii again, I plan to request them once more!

初めてのシュノーケリングで少し不安でしたが、ガイドの方(日本人女性とその旦那様)がとても親切に説明してくれたので安心して楽しむ事が出来ました。
ベテランガイドさんという事で、期待していた海ガメにも出会えましたし他にも沢山の魚を見る事が出来ました。
しかも、今回私達は水中カメラを用意せず行ってしまい水中写真は諦めていましたが、ガイドの方が撮っていてくれたものがあり助かりました。
駐車場にも待たずに入る事が出来たのもポイント高かったです♪
本当にこのツアー(ガイドさん)に出会えて良かったです。
次にハワイへ来る事があればまたお願いしようと思っています！

I used this service during Golden Week, and luckily, it turned into a completely private lesson just for our group. Our guide, Chieko, was very cheerful and kind. Both of us couldn't swim and it was our first time snorkeling, so we were quite anxious, but she explained everything carefully, which made us feel safe to enter the sea. I believe that if anyone follows her instructions, they can enjoy snorkeling.

We snorkeled for about an hour, and we didn't get tired at all. It's definitely a good idea to bring an underwater camera. I think it's also fine to bring a regular camera. You can take pictures with Hanauma Bay in the background. All valuables can be placed in the guide's box, which is locked, so it's safe.

On that day, the wind was really strong, and we couldn't go out further. The water was a bit murky, but there were still plenty of fish. It's a shame we didn't get to see any sea turtles.

The photos that Chieko took with the GoPro were available for download from Facebook.

GWに利用しましたが、運よく私達のグループだけで、完全にプライベートレッスンになりました。
ガイドのちえこさんはとても明るくて優しい方でした。私達は2人とも泳げないしシュノーケリングは初めてで、不安いっぱいの中でしたが、丁寧に説明していただいて安心して海に入れました。説明いただいた通りにやれば、どんな人でも楽しくシュノーケリングできると思います。

1時間ほど続けてシュノーケリングをしましたが、全然疲れませんでした。水中カメラは絶対に持って行ったほうがいいです。普通のカメラも持って行ってもいいと思います。ハナウマベイをバックに写真をとれます。貴重品は全てガイドさんの箱の中に入れて、ロックをかけてくれるので安心です。

この日は風が本当に強くて、沖の方にでることはできませんでした。水も少し白くなってしまっていましたが、それでもたくさん魚がいました。ウミガメに会えなかったのは残念です。

ちえこさんがGo Proで撮影してくれた写真は、Facebookからダウンロードできました。

I thought the children might be scared, but surprisingly they were quite happy. The people who rode with us were very kind, and the children became attached to them. If there's a chance, maybe next time too?!

子供が怖がるかなとも思ったが意外と喜んでました。同乗した方々が非常にやさしく、子供もなついていました。機会があれば次回も？！

Great Service. Drivers are friendly. Customer service center response quickly and patiently

I participated in a kayak tour. Our guide, Hide, provided thorough explanations, and even as beginners in our 40s, we were able to reach the uninhabited island without any help. My arms did get sore, but it was nothing compared to the excitement! The beauty of the Kailua sea and the sense of achievement from paddling there myself! Plus, the guide's fun tour around the uninhabited island made for an experience so wonderful that I lost track of time. The pizza for lunch was also delicious. I definitely want to participate again!

カヤックツアーに参加しました。
ガイドのヒデさんは丁寧に説明下さり初心者で40代の私達でもヘルプなしで無人島へ到着することができました。
確かに腕は痛くなりましたがそんな物とは比べ物にならないぐらいの感動でした！カイルアの海の美しさと自分でこいで到着したという達成感!!そしてガイドの楽しい無人島一周ツアー。時間が経つのを忘れるぐらい素晴しい体験ができました。
ランチのピザも美味しかったです。
是非また参加したいです。

I was a bit nervous since it was my first time, but I felt refreshed and had a great time. I experienced more seasickness than I expected, but the staff provided excellent support, which made me feel at ease.

初めてで少し緊張していましたが、気分爽快で楽しかったです。予想以上に船酔いしてしまいましたが、スタッフがしっかりフォローしてくれたので安心でした。

I made a last-minute reservation online the day before, but the process from booking to pickup to the actual paragliding was smooth, and I was able to enjoy it comfortably (≧∇≦). I'm very satisfied!

前日に現地で急遽ネットから予約しましたが、予約→ピックアップ→本番とスムーズで、快適にパラセイリングが出来ました（≧∇≦）大満足です！

Nice and professional crew, expectations were met completely. Had a great time on the line together with my girlfriend and a great view on Waikiki.
