All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

We are a 63-year-old and 66-year-old elderly couple, and we are so glad we did it! It feels amazing!! You get the sensation of having the ocean in Waikiki all to yourself.

63歳と66歳の老夫婦ですが、やって良かった！最高の気分です！！
ワイキキの海を独り占めした感覚になりますよ。

I was very lucky to see two sea turtles at such a close distance at the same time. The instructor was also incredibly kind and made me feel safe while showing me many fish.

すごい近い距離で、同時に2匹ウミガメを見る事ができて、とってもラッキーでした。
インストラクターさんも最高に親切で安心して沢山の魚をみせてくれました

Staff were super friendly, fun and down to earth.

The boat and sandbar experience was 10/10! I highly highly recommend it to anyone thinking of doing it. We also paid an extra $20 USD per person for a banana boat ride and that was probably the highlight of the experience. It was SO FUN! The staff was incredible and so nice and fun. There was standup paddle boarding, kayaking, floating lounge chairs, snorkeling, live music, and drinks available for purchase (juice and water were free though). Such a fun time and the highlight of my trip.

I received detailed explanations and rules in Japanese, and even though most of the participants were from Europe and America, I felt comfortable joining in! The water temperature was still a bit chilly, but the sunny weather made it pleasant to spend time there! The crew also spoke to us in Japanese, which was heartwarming! I plan to visit again right in the middle of the season next time!

日本語で細かい説明やルールなどお話ししていただき、他の参加者はほとんど欧米の方でしたがその中でも安心して参加できました！
まだ水温が若干冷たかったのですが、晴れてくれたので気持ちよく過ごせました！クルーの方も日本語で話しかけてくれてほんわかしました！次回はシーズン真っ只中に訪れたいと思います！

I kept jumping back and forth with scuba diving vs snorkeling. I’m glad I chose snorkeling! our instructor was Rida, he made the experience great with his cheesey jokes and his knowledge of the sea life. He was also very kind and understanding to those who were very afraid of deep water and using the snorkel for the first time.

I received a short message the day before the activity, and the pickup location was easy to understand. They arrived on time, which was reassuring. The driver was very polite, and the entry process was smooth. The kids really enjoyed snorkeling in the beautiful sea, and the three hours went by in no time.

アクティビティ前日にショートメールが届いて、迎えのピックアップ場所分かりやすく、時間通りに来てくれて、安心しました。ドライバーさんもとても丁寧で、入場までもスムーズでした。素晴らしい海でシュノーケルを子供たちもとても楽しめて、あっという間の３時間でした。

Both the captain and the crew were very entertaining. My English is at a normal level, but they really got the conversation going! For $40, they will take photos with a DSLR camera. They came up with various creative ways to take pictures, and when I checked them after the experience, I was surprised by how many there were! They sent the photo data to my smartphone right away :) I also received the data on an SD card. If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate!

キャプテンもクルーの方もとっても面白かったです。英語は普通レベルの私ですが盛り上げてくれて会話が弾みました！40$で一眼レフで写真も撮ってくれます。写真の撮り方を色々工夫してくれていて、体験後に確認するとびっくりするほどありました！スマホに写真データをすぐ送っていただきました:)SDカードでデータも貰えます。またハワイに行くならぜひ参加したいです！！

We set off with about 12 people on the boat. There were only two groups of Japanese, including mine, but I had a lot of fun communicating a bit with the other groups. If you get seasick, it might be wise to be careful! The waves were a bit high that day...!

Photos are 137 for $40, and you can decide whether to take them on the boat or not. They take some really good pictures. (Another Japanese couple had a GoPro, so they didn't take any photos! There's no pressure, so it's totally fine to decline.) You can also ask someone else on the same boat to take pictures with your iPhone (it's a bit boring when you're down below...). I also asked for videos and photos.

I think even those who are anxious about flying abroad can feel at ease! I highly recommend it.

1船12人程で出発
日本人は私の組含めて2組しかいませんでしたが、ほかの組との少しコミュニケーションしたりととても楽しかったです。
船酔いする人は気をつけた方が良さそう！
当日少しだけ波が高かった…！
写真は137枚で40ドル、船の上で撮るか撮らないか決めれます。結構いい写真撮ってもらえます。
(別の日本人カップルはGoProを持ってらっしゃったので撮影なしでした！強制力はないので断るのも全然OK)
同じ船に乗ってもらってる人にiPhoneでの撮影も頼めます（下にいる時は暇だし…）。私も動画と写真お願いしました＾＾
海外で飛ぶの不安〜な方も安心して出来ると思います！おすすめ

What a great way to spend an afternoon! The company offers plenty of activities for you to stay active if you want out on the sandbar, or you can just chill out and lounge in the sandbar living room. The lunch was awesome! The staff was very friendly and professional. The 2 man band had amazing talent! I truly enjoyed the experience. It was very relaxing and fun. Thank you for the memories and joy!

To enter Hanauma Bay as soon as it opened, the morning pickup was a bit earlier. I was lucky to catch the sunrise at a nearby coastline while adjusting my schedule before entering!

This was my third visit to Hanauma Bay. The weather was perfect, but the ocean at 7 AM was still quite cold as the water temperature hadn't warmed up yet. Still, the view was absolutely stunning! I was very satisfied to see so many fish.

ハナウマの開園と同時に入場する為、朝のピックアップは少し早めでした。
入場前に時間調整で近くの海岸線で日の出も見れてラッキー！

ハナウマ湾に来るのは3回目
お天気は最高でしたが、やはり朝7時の海は、みだ水温が上がらず冷たかったです(^^;
それでも、やはり絶景！魚達も沢山見れて大満足でした。

I’m so happy I booked this excursion. The staff were super friendly and interactive with everyone. The music was great! And the location was just breathtaking. The water was warm, crystal clear and safe to swim and do other activities.
This excursion was so worth it!!!

We did everything they offered, tube ride, banana boat turtle watching, snorkeling, SUP boarding, kayaking, throwing the football. We loved this and will definitely do it on our next trip. They even have a big floating living room. And the snorkeling was really good- saw all kinds of fish. Loved this trip.

The sandbar itself is a must-go! Staff with KBSO were so friendly and professional, and the tour was well organized. We really enjoyed the snorkeling and water play in the clear shallow water 😊

We had a really good time. Our only complaint was that out of all the pictures there are none of showing us actually riding the wave in. As well we really only wanted a couple of the pictures but didn’t have that option, buy them all or none

All the years I've been coming to Oahu, I've never done anything like this excursion! Best money spent on a family outing. It was majestic! The live music was beautiful, the lunch was outstanding! The crew and captain were so friendly and really made you feel included and very welcome, like a trip out with old friends. I cannot say enough about how special and memorable this trip was. Core memories built! Thanks you so so much Kbos! Special shout out to Braddah From our hometown of Vallejo Ca.! Do yourself a favor and just go!

It was my first time parasailing, and I had a great time. I'm not very good with the feeling of floating on roller coasters, but this was just pure fun without that sensation!

初めてのパラセーリングでしたがとても楽しむことができました。ジェットコースターの浮遊感がとても苦手ですが、これはほぼ浮遊感なくただただ楽しいです！

I went parasailing for the first time in my life. I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea and blue sky from 150 meters up. Just before taking off, I was nervous, but during the flight, it was quite stable, and I was able to enjoy the scenery while chatting with my wife. The staff were also playful, which made me very satisfied!

人生で初めてパラセーリングをしました。
美しい海と青い空を150メートルから堪能できました。飛ぶ直前はドキドキしましたが、飛行中はかなり安定しており妻と色んな話をしながら景色を楽しめました。
スタッフの方もお茶目で満足です！

I was anxious about everything being in English, but the return time and meeting place were clear, so I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind. I was lucky to see seals swimming in the bay as well.

オール英語で不安でしたが、帰りの時間と集合場所が明確で安心して楽しめました。アザラシも湾内に泳いできてラッキーでした。

I had my four grandchildren, two boys and two girls, experience three types of marine sports from elementary school to high school. They were a bit stiff during parasailing, but everyone was extremely satisfied with the banana boat ride. Thank you to everyone at the staff!

小学校から高校までの男女4人の孫にマリーンスポーツ３種を体験させました。
パラセーリングは少し体が固まっていましたが、バナナボートは最高と全員大満足でした。sたっふの皆さんありがとうございました。

I found that the water wasn't as clear as I had hoped. The sandy beach wasn't as beautiful as I expected either. I want to visit the sandbar I went to two years ago again!

泳いでみて思ったほど透明度は良くなかった。砂浜も思ったほど綺麗ではなかった。一昨年行ったサンドバーにもう一度行ってみたいです！

It was my first time trying SUP, but they kindly and patiently taught me, and even as someone over 60, I was able to enjoy it. I want to do it again the next time I come to Hawaii.

I was sore the next day (laughs).

初めてのSUPでしたが親切丁寧に教えてくださり還暦過ぎの私でも楽しむことができました
次回ハワイに来た時もやりたいと思ってます

次の日筋肉痛になりました（笑）

I participated on December 28. I really wanted to go snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, and I heard that local tours are smooth and good because currently, access is strictly limited for environmental protection. It was indeed strict to enter the bay, and there was a long line of cars waiting. The guide seemed to be familiar with the local staff, which made things very smooth for us. All participants borrowed wetsuits. Since there are quite a few rocky areas, I thought it would be dangerous to just wear swimsuits. Please be careful. The guide, who was a couple, provided us with solid instruction on the basic techniques. Even I, who had a fear of water, quickly got used to it and enjoyed myself.

12月28日に参加しました。ハナウマ湾でシュノーケリングを是非したかったのと、現在、環境保護のために、人の出入りが厳しく制限されているということで、現地ツアーがスムーズで良いと聞いたからです。本当に湾に入るのは厳しく、順番待ちの車がズラーッと並んでいました。ガイドさんは現地の係員さんと顔馴染みのようで、こちらはとてもスムーズだったように思います。ウエットスーツは参加者全員借りていました。割と岩場があるので、水着だけでは怪我してしまうと思いました。お気をつけください。ガイドさんはご夫婦で私達を案内してくれて、基本的テクニックをしっかり教えてもらえました。水に恐怖感があった私も、すぐ慣れて楽しめました。

It was my first time parasailing and jet skiing, and I enjoyed both to the fullest! After finishing parasailing, I moved to another boat to go jet skiing. Both were a lot of fun!

初めてのパラセーリング＆ジェットスキーでしたが、両方満喫できました！パラセーリング終了後に別のボートに移動しジェットスキーをしました。どちらも楽しかったです！

Dan from Blue Hawaii Divers was absolutely 💯 amazing. Very knowledgeable, thorough and caring. Great husband and wife duo. 5 star

Dan was a great guide. Very knowledgeable about the history and we saw so many fish.

My wife and I both celebrated our 70th birthdays and took our first trip to Hawaii. We discussed what activities to do! We challenged ourselves to try parasailing for the first time, and it was amazing. We will definitely come back to try it again! However, if you are prone to seasickness, please take some medication.

私と女房は、共に古希を迎えて、初ハワイ。
何を活動しようかと相談！
初パラセーリングにチャレンジ、最高でした。また、チャレンジしに来るぞ〜。
但し、船酔いする人は、薬飲んでくださいね

I was disappointed with Mr. T, the guide for the Kaneohe Bay cruise package tour! He might be the same guide mentioned in someone else's experience on the Jurassic Park movie location tour.

カネオヘ湾クルーズパッケージツアーのガイドのMr.Tさんにゲンナリ！
どなたかが体験談に紹介されていたジュラシックか映画ロケ地巡りツアーでのガイドと同じかもです。

I hesitated to cancel because it seemed scary after I signed up, but I really enjoyed the experience. Once you start flying, it’s not as scary as it looks from below, and the view is amazing; it feels really good. The instructor was also humorous and very kind.

申し込んでみたものの怖そうだから、やっぱりキャンセルしようか迷いましたが、体験して本当に楽しかったです。
下から見ているよりも、飛んでしまえばそれ程怖さも感じなくて、景色も最高だし、とっても気持ちがいいです。
インストラクターの方もユーモアがあり、とても親切です。

I had a very enjoyable experience. The people on the boat were also wonderful, and we were able to enjoy a fun boat trip in a friendly atmosphere. During parasailing, I fell into the sea a few times, which was thrilling and very entertaining! However, if you wish to purchase photos, please make sure to inform the staff directly on the boat before parasailing!

とても楽しい経験をすることができました。船に同乗していた方々もとても素敵な方たちで、和気あいあいとした雰囲気の中、楽しい船旅を楽しむことができました。
パラセーリング中には何度か海に“ドボン”と落ちることもあり、それがまたスリル満点でとても面白かったです！
ただ、写真の購入を希望される方は、必ずパラセーリング前に船の上で、写真購入希望の旨を直接スタッフに伝えるようにしてください！！
