All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

When heading to the location on foot or by bike, you might wonder, "Am I going the right way?" but following the navigation is perfectly fine. The crew on board is full of humor, making it a relaxing experience, and the excitement with other groups gradually builds up to a maximum tension. My wife, who is not fond of heights, said, "I'm glad I did this!" with a big smile, and she was very satisfied. I absolutely recommend it.

徒歩やbiki等で現地に向かうと「この先であってる？」と感じますがナビどおりで大丈夫です。乗船クルーもユーモアたっぷりでrelax出来ますし他のグループとの盛り上がりで次第にtension maxへ。
高い所が苦手な妻も「やって良かった！」とニコニコ顔で大満足でした。
絶対にオススメします。

It was my first experience with snorkeling, but the instructor was always there to guide me and help me, so I was able to complete it safely. The waves were strong, and I didn't get to see any sea turtles, but I was able to see some fish, and it was a good experience. I was advised to rent a wetsuit to avoid scraping my knees, but I managed to get through without one.

シュノーケリング初体験でしたが、常にインストラクターの方が声掛けや手をひいて下さり、無事に終えることができました。
波が強く、ウミガメさんには会えませんでしたが、それなりにお魚さんも見れましたし、良い体験でした。
膝等を擦り剥かない様、ウエットスーツのレンタルも勧められましたが、なんとか無しで乗り切れました。

Kayaking on the river was a good workout. Our guide, Samuel, was amazing

All the staff speak English.

Before surfing, there is an explanation at the store, and there are Japanese translations available.

After making a reservation, a consent form will be sent via email in English. You can fill it out while translating, so there’s no problem.

During surfing, the instructions are in English, but it's simple English, making it easy to understand and stand up on the board.

The view is great, facing Diamond Head on Waikiki Beach.

A wonderful benefit here is the option for additional photography for a fee. It’s quite pricey, but since they use drones for video recording, it creates amazing memories. The video can also be used to check your body movements for improving your surfing skills.

スタッフは全員英語です。

サーフィン前に店舗で説明がありますが、日本語表記あります。

予約後、事前承諾書が英語でメールが来ます。
こちらは翻訳しながら入力すれば問題ありません。

サーフィン中は英語ですが、簡単な英語なので分かりやすく簡単に立つことができます。

景色はワイキキビーチのダイヤモンドヘッド側なのですごく良いです。

ここの素晴らしいメリットは追加料金の撮影。
結構な値段がしますが、ドローンを使った動画撮影なので、素晴らしい思い出になります。
動画はサーフィンステップアップの為、体の使い方の確認に使えました。

Had a great day out on the sandbar with great music super helpful crew good food, beautiful warm water amazing scenes lots to do super recommended

I loved my experience everyone was knowledgeable, provided donuts for breakfast, and the activities provided were amazing. Worth the money!

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to see the sandbar. There were Japanese staff members who provided explanations in Japanese very kindly. Additionally, there were foreign staff members who could speak Japanese, which made it very comfortable. The blue of the sea, the blue of the sky, and the colors of the coral reef were indescribably beautiful. I participated with my colleagues from work, and everyone enjoyed experiences like snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. We had a great time and felt like kids again. One regret I have is that the sandy beach didn't appear... I hope the sea remains beautiful forever.

サンドバーを見たくってこのツアーに申し込みました。日本人のスタッフさんもいて、日本語で説明も丁寧にしてくれました。また、外人のスタッフさんも日本語話せる人もいてとても快適でした。海の青さ、空の青さ、そしてサンゴ礁の海の色、何とも言えない美しさでした。会社の同僚と参加したのですが皆それぞれシュノーケリング、カヤック、SUPの体験をし、楽しく過ごせました。子供に戻ったようにはしゃぎまくっていました。一つ心残りは砂浜が出なかった事です・・。
いつまでも綺麗な海であります様に。

This was our 4th trip to Oahu, I’ve been wanting to do the Kaneohe Sandbar for a while. The boat ride to the sand bar was great, we enjoyed the live music. We did the morning one, it was a tad bit windy and overcast so it was a little cold for our little ones to enjoy but we still got in the water and enjoyed the views, would definitely love to do again!

I was treated very well by someone from Saipan! Their Japanese was excellent, and our conversation was interesting! They also taught me about stand-up paddleboarding, so I had no worries!

サイパン出身の方にとてもよくしていただきました！日本語がお上手でお話も面白かったです！サップ等も教えていただけるので心配いりませんでした！

I liked the tour but I wouldn’t recommend it, except perhaps for small kids. The kayaking and paddle board are limited to a pretty small area, so it’s kind of boring. And the snorkeling was pretty bad during low tide because you basically can’t go anywhere.

The weather was great, and I had a wonderful experience. It seemed like they adjusted the angle, and I could see Diamond Head right in front of me from the sky! It was a quick experience, but I would love to do it again when I visit Hawaii.

天気にも恵まれてとても良い経験ができました。角度も調整してくださっているようで上空では目の前にダイヤモンドヘッドが見えました！あっという間の体験でしたがまたハワイに行った際はやりたいです。

Dan and Chieko were extremely professional, and great with our kids (6 and 8). They assisted the little one, and escorted us back to beach mid-tour when the kids got tired. Beautiful tour and great people 👏

This is my second experience. The staff was very polite. The weather was nice, and the view was fantastic. I unexpectedly fell into the sea, but it was thrilling and fun.

2回目の体験です。スタッフも丁寧な対応。
天気が良く見晴らしは最高でした。
まさかの海にぽちゃんと落ちましたがスリルがあって楽しかったです。

We participated as a couple. In addition to us, there were three other couples, so we set sail with a total of eight people. Eating under the beautiful blue sky of Hawaii was truly delightful and the best experience! On the way to the flying point, we were able to see a honu and dolphins, which was a three-in-one experience! While waiting for the other groups to fly, there might be a chance of getting motion sickness, so I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

夫婦で参加しました。自分たちの他に３組参加していたので、合計８名で出航しました。
ハワイの青い空を悠々と食べるのは本当に気持ちよくて最高でした！飛ぶポイントまでボートで移動する途中でホヌとイルカも見ることができて一石三鳥でした！
他の組が飛んでいる時は待ち時間になり、そこで酔ってしまうかもしれないので、酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいいと思います。

We had a great time! Captain and crew did an amazing job ensuring we were safe and having a blast!

This year, I was taken care of by Chieko again. Surprisingly, we were the only ones in the morning 😅 I felt a bit guilty to have her all to ourselves as our private instructor. Of course, there were plenty of fish, and the sand patterns were wonderfully mysterious, which made me very satisfied. I'm also grateful for all the information shared during the round trip drive. Next year, my daughter will join us as well!

今年もチエコさんにお世話になりました
なんと午前中は私たちだけ😅　申し訳なくも専属でインストラクト頂きました　もちろん沢山のお魚　また砂紋も不思議神秘的で大満足　往復のドライブもいろいろ教えて頂き感謝感謝です
来年は娘も一緒に、参加させて頂きます♪

Dan was the best. He took care of us. He is knowledgeable about the area and extremely friendly. I highly recommend this tour.

Before the pandemic, I participated in a different experience plan, and this was my second time joining. There were hardly any Japanese participants, and the staff were engaging with the participants, asking where they were from. I was nervous when it was our turn, but even though I could hardly speak any English, I managed to have a conversation. The explanations were all in English, so I couldn't take notes, but I didn't have any difficulties. I was thrilled to encounter a sea turtle. There was one Japanese staff member at the information center, which was helpful. You can take photos at each location before participating and purchase them before leaving. It was $20. Since it's a popular option, I think it's better to make a reservation before departure. I'm glad I participated.

コロナ前に別の体験プランに参加し今回2回目の参加でした。参加者に日本人はほとんどいなくスタッフさんが参加者にどこから来たの？とか順番に話しかけていてドキドキしながら私たちの番になりほとんど英語は話せませんが何とか会話が出来ました。説明は全部英語なので内容は書き取りできませんが不自由はなかったです。ウミガメに出会えて感激しました。案内所に日本人スタッフが一人いるので助かりました。参加前にそれぞれの場所で写真を撮り帰る前に購入できます。20💲でした。人気なオプションなので出発前に予約したほうがいいと思います。参加して良かったです。

I participated with my mother in her 70s, and I think anyone can enjoy it regardless of age! It became the most fun memory during our stay on Oahu. The view from 150 meters up is amazing. For those who are undecided, I highly recommend it :)

I had read reviews and thought we would have to wait for a while after check-in, but perhaps because all four groups of participants arrived quickly, we set sail 15 minutes ahead of schedule and finished an hour before the planned end time, which allowed us to relax afterward.

Photos were available for $40 and could be paid by credit card. There were many pictures, and I was satisfied. It seemed that everyone in our group tipped around $20. Just for your reference... (You can pay with a QR code even if you don't have cash.)

70代の母と参加しましたが、年齢関係なく、誰でも楽しめると思います！
オアフ島滞在中、一番楽しい思い出になりました。
150m上空からの景色は最高です。
迷われている方、ぜひぜひ:)
クチコミを拝見し、チェックイン時間からしばらく待たされるかと思っていましたが、4組の参加者全員揃うのが早かったからか、予定の15分前には出航し、終了予定時刻の1時間前に終わり、その後ゆっくりできたのでよかったです。
写真は40ドルでクレカ決済可でした。枚数も多く、満足しました。
チップは、私たちの回はみなさん20ドル払っていたようです。ご参考までに…。（現金なくてもQRコードで払えます。）

We were supposed to gather 30 minutes earlier, but we ended up waiting in a hot van... The overseas guests were late, and we started just in the nick of time. However, once we actually got to go parasailing, it was such a refreshing experience that I forgot all about that.

30分前集合でしたが、きっちり行くと暑いバンで待たされました、、、。海外の方が遅く、始まるのもギリギリでした。
しかし，実際パラセーリングに乗るとそんなことも忘れるぐらい爽快な体験ができました。

I had decided not to try anything that felt unstable, but parasailing was different. It was stable the whole time, and it wasn't scary at all. I was quickly lifted up, and it felt amazing with the view being absolutely fantastic. It was an experience that you can't get from being on a plane. I think even those who are afraid of heights can enjoy it. I definitely recommend giving it a try. I just wish the experience lasted a bit longer!

地に足がつかないのは乗らないと決めていましたがパラセーリングは別でした。ずっと安定していて高くて怖いということもありませんでした。あっという間に上に上がりとても気持ちよく景色も最高でした。飛行機などでは味わえない時間でした。高いのが苦手な人でも楽しめると思いました。ぜひ体験してみてください。体験時間がもっと長ければいいな〜

I arrived 15 minutes before the meeting time, but there was one foreigner standing at the reception area, so I thought he was part of the fishing boat crew, only to find out he was a tour guest... As the meeting time approached, other guests started to gather, but the crucial fishing boat did not arrive. It finally showed up about 10 minutes after the meeting time...

There were a total of 4 groups (11 people) in the tour, and 2 of them were children. By the way, we were the only Japanese couple, and we couldn't communicate in Japanese at all, but we managed with some words and a translation app.

I wasn't looking at the clock, but the travel time might not have been more than an hour one way... I felt like we had more time for fishing because of that. The waves were high that day, and the boat rocked quite a bit... I took motion sickness medication just in case, so I was fine, but it could have been bad if I hadn't... The two kids who came with us both got sick, and their dad was resting indoors.

We caught a total of 4 fish (it seems like the other guests caught about the same), but the fish were around 20 centimeters and all had to be released, so we couldn't eat them on the boat... It seemed like they were trolling while moving to the fishing spot, but I wonder if everyone would get to enjoy the catch if a big one was caught? Since we couldn't eat the fish on the boat and couldn't communicate in Japanese at all, I rated it 4 stars.

集合時間の15分前に着いたのですが、受付場所に1人の外国人が立ってたので釣り船の人だと思ったらツアー客だった…
集合時間が近づくにつれて他のお客さんも集まってきましたが、肝心な釣り船の方が来ません。
集合時間から10分くらい経ってやっと来ました…
ツアー客は全部で4組(11人)で、うち2人が子供でした。
ちなみに、日本人は私達夫婦だけで日本語は全く通じませんが、単語と翻訳アプリで何とか大丈夫でした。

時計を見てなかったのですが移動時間は片道1時間も無かったかも…
その分、釣りの時間が長かった気がします。
この日は波が高く船はかなり揺れました…
念の為に酔い止めの薬を飲んでたので大丈夫でしたが、飲んでなかったらヤバかったかも…
一緒に行った子供達は2人ともダウンして、お父さんも室内で休んでました。

全部で4匹釣りました(他のお客さんも同じぐらいみたい)が、釣れた魚は20センチ前後で全てリリースされて船上で食べることは出来ませんでした…
釣り場に移動する際にトローリングもしてたみたいですが、大物が釣れればみんなに振る舞うのかな？
釣った魚が船上で食べられなかったのと日本語が全く通じないのがイマイチだったので評価は☆4つにしました。

It's much more expensive than I expected. First of all, the breathtaking view was something I've never experienced before. With the strong yen, I thought the price for just five minutes was high, but five minutes is enough. The sea breeze on the way to and from the island feels great. My whole family was very satisfied. The staff speaks English and is cheerful and friendly. It's just a short walk from the lagoon at Hilton Hawaiian Village. It's very convenient if you're staying at the Hilton.

思ってたより、かなりかなり高いです。まず経験する事のないびっくりするぐらいの絶景でした。円高もあり5分の時間でこの料金は高いなと思いましたが、5分ぐらいで充分です。沖への行き帰りも潮風が気持ち良いです。家族皆んな大満足でした。スタッフは英語ですが陽気でフレンドリーです。ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジのラグーンから歩いてすぐです。ヒルトンに宿泊ならとても便利です。

During my trip to Hawaii, I boldly tried parasailing. At first, I was nervous, but the exhilarating moment of being lifted into the sky from the boat is unforgettable! The expansive blue of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head left me speechless, like a postcard-perfect view. Even someone as timid as I am was able to enjoy it comfortably, thanks to the staff's thorough explanations and support. This is definitely an activity I want to do again when I go to Hawaii!

ハワイ旅行中に思い切ってチャレンジしたパラセーリング。
最初はドキドキでしたが、ボートからふわっと空へ上がる瞬間の爽快感は忘れられません！
青く広がるワイキキビーチとダイアモンドヘッド。まるで絵はがきのような景色に言葉を失いました。
怖がりな私でも安心して楽しめたのは、スタッフさんの丁寧な説明とサポートがあったからこそ。
ハワイに行ったら、絶対にまたやりたいアクティビティです！

I would not recommend an unaccompanied (self guided) kayak adventure in Kailua Bay. The in and out of the water is challenging so if you go to a beach or island without someone helping it's a little scary. We went out to one of the small islands. It took about 1.5 hours and we were paddling the entire time. Again, so tricky getting in and out we decided to leave only after about 10mns. Also shallow water if you don't stay close to shore with tons of coral that I saw people pushing on with their paddles which really harms it. It was hard not to though since they sat so close to the surface. Another great reason to have a guide. They would have steered us closer to shore to avoid it all and the stress of realizing we were damaging it.

It was the perfect experience to understand scuba diving. Reda was a patient, knowledgeable and fun instructor. The group caught on quickly and then got to scuba in the lagoon and see coral, fish and sea life. Highly recommend this tour.

My husband and I absolutely loved this experience. We got to kayak, snorkel and swim in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The crew was extremely sweet, the live music was phenomenal and the views were breathtaking. We would go back 100%.

This was a fantastic snorkeling tour. Very organized. Dan and his wife were very professional and courteous. The equipment was provided, along with water and snacks. Pickup and drop off was very convenient. Thanks for a wonderful adventure!

Even though it's called a sandbar, the sandy beach and sea in the photo are only available during limited times, so be cautious if you plan to visit. Also, the timing was bad, and it was cold. Activities also require waiting in line, so you can't do them at your own pace.

サンドバーといっても写真のイメージの砂浜と海があるのは限られた時期で行く場合は要注意です。あとは時期が悪くて寒かったです。
アクティビティも順番待ちで自分のタイミングで出来るわけではない。

This excursion is a must do. The views were incredible. It does take time to get there, 2 mile row in after which you hike for about 1.25 miles to the falls. The guide told us some great facts about the area. They teach you how to paddle if you have never done that before. You do have to cross the river and depending on the rainfall, it can be deep. This is mildly strenuous, you will be walking on uneven ground with rocks and cross a river, good water/hiking shoes a must. You will need to help carry the kayaks to the water and back, not very long and there are usually 4 people to a kayak to carry. Part of the trail does have wood planks to walk on, but the first part of the trail does not. It was beautiful and the falls were full when we got to the top, not always the case, depends on the amount of rainfall they have had. Highly recommend.
