ハンズ・ヒーデマン サーフィンレッスン

It's enjoyable enough for beginners! 初心者には十分楽しめます!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a family, and everyone was able to stand up on the board on the first try! After a brief explanation of how to stand at the shop, we headed straight to the beach. Unfortunately, it seemed to be a day with no waves, so we had to try with small ones, but with the instructor's help, I was able to stand up! I had previously thought surfing wasn't for me, but my perspective has changed! My body was really close to its limits (laughs), but the instructors were fun and entertaining. I definitely want to challenge myself again next time!

However, one disappointing thing was the CD of photos sold at the end. I recommend that those who wish to purchase it check all the photos before buying! There might be cases where it features specific people, and you might not be in any of them.

ファミリーで参加しましたが、全員1回で立つことが出来ました!
簡単にショップで立ち方の説明を受け早速ビーチへ。残念ながら波がない日だったようで小さい波でのトライだったのですが、先生に思いっきり押してもらい立つことが出来ました!
今までサーフィンはあんまり…と思っていましたが、考えが変わりました!本当に身体は限界に近くなってましたが(笑)、先生達も楽しい人で面白かったです。次回もぜひ挑戦したいと思います!
ただ一つ残念だったのが、最後に販売される写真のCDです。
購入される方は全部の写真を確認してから購入することをお勧めします!意外に特定の人ばかりで自分が写っていない…と言うことがありますので。

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures

a very good time

Reviewed by: alsbrat

My husband and I went snuba diving on the Aqua Adventure and loved it. The boat was smaller then some and held less people, which gave the passangers more individual attention from the crew. We had both a breakfast and lunch buffet aboard ship.The instructors were friendly and knowledgeable. Well worth the money. Reccomended for all.

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Don't Miss this Adventure

Reviewed by: First Visit to Hawaii

Could not have been happier with the experience. Incredible scuba like experience - even for the non-swimmers. This is a definate must do when you are in Honolulu area.

Wonderful guides manuevered us around, gave us fish food and then dozen of incredible fish ate right out of our hand - it was great.

Their shuttle picked us up at the Waikiki Sheraton, We watched a quick video, they explained what was going to happen and we all board a boat that took us out into a calm harbor. BOB is a Scooter with a bubble attached and was very very easy to get used to.

I never expected to be lifted so high.

Being 200 meters in the air was really great (^O^)

I want to try it again.

The best! ☆ 最高~☆

Reviewed by: めめ

It was amazing!!
At first, I was a bit anxious, but once I flew, it felt incredible!
We went from the lowest height of 210 meters, but it was more than enough fun.
Aside from us as a couple, all the other participants were foreigners, and the staff didn't seem to understand Japanese, but that made it fresh and enjoyable in a way. The seasickness mentioned in the reviews didn't affect anyone on our boat. I tend to get motion sickness, so I took medication beforehand, but I felt like I could have been fine without it. The wind was strong, and the boat rocked quite a bit, but the time flew by until all five groups had jumped; I don't think we were on the boat for even an hour.
The photos are just 15 for one negative, so I think that's cheap.
I'm looking forward to developing them! ☆
There was also a little boy and an elderly man on our boat, so I think people of all ages can enjoy it.
Next time, I definitely want to try jumping from a higher height!

最高でした!!
最初は不安でしたが、飛んでみたら最高に気持ちよかった!
一番低い210Mでしたが、十分楽しめました。
私達カップル以外参加者は全員外国人だったし、スタッフの方も日本語は通じない感じでしたが、それが逆に新鮮で楽しかったです。書き込みにあった船酔いも、私達の船に乗った参加者は全員平気でしたよ。私は酔いやすいので薬を飲んで行ったのですが、飲まなくても平気だったんじゃないかなって感じでした。風が強くて船はよく揺れましたが、私達含め5組飛び終わるまでがホントにあっと言う間で、船に乗っている時間は1時間もないんじゃないでしょうか?
写真もネガ一本で15?なので安いと思います。
現像するのが楽しみです☆
私達の船には、小さな男の子も一人参加のおじいさんもいたので、年齢問わず楽しめると思います。
次は是非一番もっと高く飛んでみたいです!

Snuba Tours of Kauai | Small-Group Guided Beach SNUBA Diving Tour at Lawai Beach

Kauai Snuba Diving

Reviewed by: Debbie G.

Snuba diving was by far the best, most fun, most relaxing activity that I've ever done on any of the Hawaiian Islands! We were well instructed and the staff (sorry I don't remember names) were very safety-conscious. I couldn't stop smiling afterwards, and just to write about my experience now, I'm still smiling! I just finished watching the video of our group and re-lived it all over again. I highly recommend this activity!

It was fun! たのしかった☆

Reviewed by: yuko

It was my first experience! It was so much fun. You rarely get to have such an experience, right? We were the first to jump from the boat, and there was a rainbow right above us!! I was moved by the feeling of flying in the sky, the beautiful scenery, and being able to see the rainbow! Then, on our way back to the port after everyone finished jumping, we unexpectedly encountered a pod of dolphins! We were able to see wild dolphins up close. A series of lucky events made it the best trip ever.

初めての体験!とってもたのしかったです。こんな体験めったにできないですもんね。私達は乗った船の中で一番に飛んだのですが、ちょうど真上に虹がでていたんです!!空を飛んでいることと、景色がとってもきれいなこと、虹を見れたこと、すべてに感動!そして全員が飛び終わって港に戻る途中、偶然イルカの群れに遭遇!野生のイルカを間近でみることができました。いくつものラッキーが重なって最高の旅になりました。

Since I applied online, I was a bit anxious until the day of the event, but I was able to go parasailing without any issues. I especially appreciated the kind assistance we received even though we changed our schedule just two days before our departure.

The meeting point on the day might be a little hard to find, but there is a police station nearby, so it might be a good idea to ask if you're unsure. A friendly female police officer helped us out. Since it's a place with many tourists, I think they get asked for directions often.

There were others who boarded from the same location as us, and everyone was foreign, so the car was filled with non-Japanese people! I was quite anxious, but when we arrived at the site, I was relieved to see some Japanese people there as well. Additionally, during the parasailing, everyone was Japanese, which made me feel more at ease!

There were six groups on our boat, and everyone applauded when we took off. It created a sense of unity... Falling into the sea at the end was also quite amusing. I was so nervous that I didn't even get seasick... However, for those who are worried, it might be a good idea to take some medication.

Lastly, we paid a $5 tip for the two of us. The photos (negatives) cost $15, but since it's a rare experience, I don't think that's too expensive.

インターネットからの申し込みだったので、当日まで不安でしたが無事パラセイリングをする事ができました。
特に私たちは、出発の2日前に日程を変更したにもかかわらず親切に対応していただき、有難かったです。

当日の集合場所が、少しわかりづらいかもしれませんが、近くに警察署があるので、わからなければ聞いてみるのもいいかもしれません。親切に女性の警察官が教えてくださいました。観光客が多い場所なので、よく聞かれるんだとおもいます。

私たち以外にも同じ場所から乗車された方もいましたが、皆さん外国の方で、車の中も全員外人さん!
不安いっぱいでしたが、いざ現地につくと日本人の方もいらっしゃり安心しました。
また、パラセイリング時には全員が日本人だったので安心でした!

私たちの船には6組いましたが、全員が飛び立つ時に拍手がおこります。団結力ができるような・・
最後に海に落とされるのも面白いですよ。
緊張のあまり船酔いもなく・・
ただ、心配な方はお薬を飲んだ方がいいかもしれません。


最後にチップは二人で5ドル支払いました。
写真(ネガフィルム)は15ドル必要ですが、めったに出来ない経験なので、そこまで高くないとおもいます。

Reviewed by: フラガールちゃん

I can't believe I could experience parasailing at such a low price! I chose the cheapest course, but I had plenty of fun. We went out to sea on a boat, and the guys driving the boat and preparing the equipment were very kind and quite playful. As we gradually went higher, I didn't feel scared at all. It felt like floating gently, and the view was amazing!!! I could see the ocean and Diamond Head beautifully. While I was flying, a plane took off right at that moment, and it was thrilling to see the plane in the air. I flew with an American woman, and we chatted and had a great time. It became a wonderful memory.

パラセイリングがこんなに安価で体験できるなんて!
一番安いコースにしましたが、充分に楽しめました。
ボートで沖まで出て、そこから飛ばしてくれるのですが、船を運転するお兄さんも用具を準備してくれるお兄さんもとても親切でとってもお茶目な人たちでした。
徐々に高くなっていくので、全然怖くなかったです。
ふんわり浮いている感じで、景色は最高です!!!海もダイアモンドヘッドもとてもきれいに見えました。
私が飛んでいる時にちょうど飛行機が飛び立ったところで、空中で飛行機を見れたのも感動でした。
私はアメリカ人の女性と一緒に飛びましたが、おしゃべりしたりしてとても楽しかったです。
とてもいい思い出になりました。

Parasailing Great, SeaBreeze Okay

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Would absolutely a hundred percent recommend parasailing to anyone and everyone. It was our first time and it was thrilling--not scary at all. For the price and the length of the event, this company was fine, but there was no friendliness, no smiles, no checking on how we were doing. They had signs everywhere asking for tips but they did absolutely nothing at all to earn them. Additionally, the lobby and office was heaving Japanese-geared, most of the prominant signs are in Japanese and the lady at the front desk was difficult to understand through her accent.

Good Trip

This trip was long and somewhat strenuous. The sea cave was a bit of a let down. It was not as cool as it looked online. The snorkling was great and the tour guides definately knew there stuff. I would not reccomend this trip for a first time kayaker. The water was a little ruff on the way back which made it a long row. For the dare devils there was a 15 foot cliff to jump off. They also provided snacks and juices including fresh pineapple. Overal we had a great time.

I booked this kayaking trip with some anxiety since I was taking along my nephew who's previous experience in swimming was strictly in swimming pools and boogie boarding in the Texas gulf coast. I was pleasantly surprised how enjoyable and safe this adventure turned out to be. Our instructor, Bailey Coogersberger (I'm not sure of the spelling), a Korean American chef out of Georgia was most helpful, and very patient with his instructions and very knowledgeable of the terrain, flora/fauna not to mention the folklore of the area which made for an educational trip to boot. He even shared some places where we could get some good local eating, being a former chef myself. Incidentally, I did check those he recommended and very happy that i did. More power to your company and will definitely recommend this trip if you have that extra day to spare.

I felt this way for the first time!! こんな気分初めてでした!!

Reviewed by: 雷太

Most of the customers were Caucasian. However, the instructions and requirements were not difficult, and as long as you follow what the person in front of you does, there shouldn't be any language issues. After departing from the harbor, we were out in the waters off Ala Moana Beach in about ten minutes. There, we put on our gear and before we knew it, we were soaring into the sky. It really felt like we were flying, and it was incredibly refreshing. The air was very quiet, and while gently floating for a little over ten minutes, we enjoyed views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, rainbows, and planes flying above. The landing was completely smooth, and I didn't feel any burden at all. The price felt reasonable, so I definitely recommend it. They take photos for a fee, but I usually don't request those. However, since there were four of us, it was $15, and they give you the film on the way back, which is also affordable. I tipped $5 per person. Given this price, I really felt it was worth trying for a memorable travel experience.

お客さんはほとんどが白人系でした。でも注意事項も要領もそんな難しくなく、前の人の通りにやれば語学の点では問題ないです。港を出発して10分程度でアラモアナビーチの沖に出ます。そこで装具をつけてあらよというまに、空に飛び出します。本当に飛び出されるという感じで、とっても爽快。空中はとても静かで、ワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッド、虹や上空を飛び交う飛行機を眺めながら、ふわりふわりと10分少々の心地より空中散歩です。着地も全くスムースで何の負担も感じませんでした。値段的にもお手ごろ感があるので、是非ともお勧めします。写真を有料で撮ってくれるんですが、通常そういうのは頼まないのですが、4人で行って$15、帰りににはフィルムをくれるので、こちらもお手ごろです。チップは一人5ドル払いました。このお値段ならば、旅の記念にチャレンジしてみてよかったと、つくづく思った次第です。

The pickup bus was about 10 minutes late, which made me a bit anxious, but I was prepared for that, so it wasn't a problem. The other participants were all foreigners, which heightened the feeling of being on vacation abroad, and now that I think about it, I’m glad there weren't any Japanese people. We hardly understood any English, but it felt like there was no need to worry. I had heard that the boat would sway, so I took motion sickness medication, and that helped. Indeed, the speed was quite fast, and there was enough bouncing that taking the medication might be a good idea for peace of mind. The view of Hawaii from the sky was truly amazing. Up there, it hardly swayed, so my partner and I could quietly enjoy the scenery. I was able to bring an underwater camera, so I took beautiful photos from above and was very satisfied.

ピックアップのバスが10分くらい遅れたので少しドキドキしましたが、それくらいのことは覚悟の上だったので問題なしでした。
参加者は私たち以外は外国の方たちでしたが、海外に遊びに来たという気分が高まって、今になって思うと日本人がいなくて良かったかなと思います。
私たちは英語がほとんどわかりませんでしたが心配いらない感じでした。
ボートが揺れると聞いていたので酔い止めを飲んでいったので大丈夫でした。確かにスピードもかなり出てたしバウンドするくらいの揺れだったので飲んで行ったほうが安心かもしれません。
空から見るハワイの景色は本当に最高でした。上ではほとんど揺れないので静かに彼とふたりで景色を楽しめました。
水中カメラを持って乗れたので空の上から綺麗な写真も撮れて大満足しました。
