Had a great time. Kayaking looks easier than it is, as it was tough to keep the kayak going straight. Nonetheless, we had a great time and the Secret Falls were absolutely beautiful.

Surf HNL - Waikiki Surfing Lessons at Ala Moana Beach

Untitled

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The instructors were great-very supportive and helpful.
You need to warn people to wear some footgear-there are sharp rocks that cut our feet walking in after surfing. Also, a photographer/video would be nice since we can't hold on to cameras
while surfing (and you would make more $$).

Honolulu X-Treme Parasailing Tour Adventure [700ft, 850ft, 1000ft or 1200ft Rides]

Parasailing X-treme on Oahu

Reviewed by: bjmon

Our overall experience was great. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The boat ride was very smooth and fun. The parasailing liftoff/landing was very gentle and easy from the back of the boat.

You have the option of getting dunked, which we did, and it was a blast.

There ws another family on the boat with us that 1/2 didnot want to get dunked and the other 1/2 just wanted to get their feet wet; our driver was so good that he dunked them just to their ankles; it was a perfect feet dunk.

WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!

Reviewed by: Mr. and Mrs. Nafziger

I could not have been happier about this snuba experience. From the moment we arrived the staff were so welcoming and genuinely kind that it made us newlyweds feel right at home. The boat was the perfect size with plenty of room for everyone. I could go on and on about the captain, crew, boat, sites, atmosphere, fish, and TURTLES... but this truly was an amazing experience that we will pass on to our family and friends as a must do when visiting Maui.

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

One heck of a good time

Reviewed by: Jerry V

I have to give props to the crew and the captain for making this the most enjoyable time i have ever had. Everyone on the crew was friendly, helpfull, curtious and just plain nice to be around. Was expecting a little more on the snuba dives, but i went in thinking discovery channel quailty. But the dive was still fun non the less. We got to see sharks, turtles, sea slugs, eels and much more exotic fish. And i was this close to a turtle! I would recommend this activity with auqa adventures any time for many reasons. The first being a great crew and second it was a smaller boat and not the big tourists one that can get anonying with all the screaming kids. When we take another vacation back to maui we are definatly doing this again!

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

BOB Adventure

Reviewed by: Aloha

BOB stands for Breathing Observation Bubble. Whoever invented this is such a genius. I really enjoy it because it gave me an underwater experience even though I don't really know how to swim and I don't even need to get my head wet. It's completely safe when you follow all the instruction correctly. It caused a bit of discomfort of pressure in the ears at first when it was decending. However, after you depressurized it, it's all good. This is an incredibly fun activity.

Hans Hedemann Waikiki Surfing Lessons - Honolulu's Best Surf School

Great time surfing with Ivan!

Reviewed by: Julia & Cole

I had surfed a few times before with previous lessons but never with this company. My boyfriend had never surfed before. We were picked up more or less on time by the driver, driven to the surf shop, and introduced quickly to our teacher, Ivan, a lovely man who has lived in Oahu over 20 years. He gave us our gear, including two massive boards that we toted to the beach. We then had a lesson on the sand for about 15 minutes, then out to sea!
We enjoyed the surfing, though I was a bit afraid of the waves and thus Ivan toned it down until I was confident. Once I was, though, he took us out to where regulars were surfing, and we did more or less okay!
Our lesson was 2 hours long, and we are both in 8 out of 10 shape, but were both POOPED by then end - so I recommend that you keep the lesson length in mind with your own fitness!
I absoultely recommend no more than 2 or at most 3 people to an instructor so that noone holds the group back.
Ivan was a nice man and I felt he was low k

Two-Tank Introductory Boat Scuba Diving Tour & Lesson - Aaron's Dive Shop

Aaron's Dive Shop

Reviewed by: Susan Stepovich

I ended up not diving because I was uncomfortable and a little afraid with the idea of actually scuba diving. I also felt very quesy from the boat ride. The staff was nice and understanding about my decision, they were not irriatated or pushy. They did however not offer to refund my money though, which I am ok with since I guess I technically tried, (ie had all the gear on and entered the water-only to quickly get back on the boat). I feel that a two tank dive is too much activity for a new diver and that a pool lesson would have made me more comfortable. A ten minute video shown in the van on the way to the boat is not acceptable. I would only recommend this activity to certified divers.

Parasailing with children. 子供と一緒にパラセイル

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated with my 8-year-old and 10-year-old daughters and my husband. Since it was their first experience, my daughters said they were scared at first. However, my 10-year-old had a lot of fun once it started. My 8-year-old had a tense expression until the end and said, "I don't want to do this anymore!" As for me, I had done this about 15 years ago, and back then, when riding with two people, the person in the back had to spread their legs wide, which was very embarrassing for me. This time, since we rode like on a two-person swing, I didn't have to spread my legs and was able to enjoy a conversation while looking at my children's faces. Because it was a two-person ride, those who participated alone were riding with strangers. There was a white boy and a Japanese girl riding together, but they were silent. I think it would be fine for those who are okay with that...

8歳、10歳の娘と私、夫で参加しました。
娘達は初めての経験だったので最初怖いと言ってました。
10歳の娘は始まったらとても楽しんでました。
8歳の娘は最後まで顔が強張っていて「もうしない!」と言ってました。
私はというと、15年ぐらい前にやった事があり
その時は2人で乗る場合、後ろの人は大股を広げなければならず
後ろになった私はとても恥ずかしかったのですが
今回は2人乗りのブランコのように乗るので大股を広げる事もなく
子供の顔を見ながら会話を楽しむ事ができました。
2人乗りなだけに1人で参加した人は知らない人と一緒に乗ってました。
白人の男の子と日本人の女の子が乗ってましたが無言でした。
平気な人であれば良いと思いますが・・・

ハンズ・ヒーデマン サーフィンレッスン

Exciting experience! ときめき体験!

Reviewed by: かよこ

I tried surfing for the first time, and amazingly, I was able to stand up on my first attempt! We practiced very easily on land at first, but the staff who spoke Japanese explained everything clearly, so I understood well. I participated in a private lesson, and the instructor read the good waves and gave me encouragement, allowing me to ride waves that I wouldn't have been able to manage on my own! The rainbow over the waves is a must-see☆ There are quite a few rocks hidden under the waves, so be careful of injuries. Also, my feet got scraped by the board and it hurt. I highly recommend private lessons!

初めてサーフィンをしましたが、なんと1発目で立つ事ができました!!始めに陸上でほんとうに簡単に練習をしただけでしたが、日本語を話せるスタッフがきちんと説明をしてくれたので、よく理解もできました。プライベートレッスンに参加したのですが、インストラクターが良い波を読んでくれて掛け声をかけてくれたので、1人では乗れないような波にも乗ることができました!波の裏側にかかる虹は必見です☆結構波の下に岩が隠れているので、怪我には要注意です。あと、足もボードで擦れて痛かったです。レッスンはプライベートがオススメです!

First parasailing experience. 初のパラセイル

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We experienced parasailing for the first time as a family of four, despite some rain and wind. The standard course was about 150 meters, which was sufficient for beginners. Although the rain made it difficult to see the scenery clearly, we were generally satisfied. However, my wife and our two children (16 and 19 years old) were excited at first but seemed to get nauseous from the rain and wind, and they felt quite unwell. They even slept for a while after we returned to the hotel. Those who are sensitive to boats might need to be cautious.

The person who picked us up didn't seem very friendly, but the young lady at the local reception was pleasant.

少し雨風があるなか、家族4人で初のパラセイルを体験。
スタンダードコースの約150Mでしたが初心者には充分でした。
雨が多少降っていましたので、景観はいまいちよく見えませんでしたが、まあ満足。
ただ、妻・子供2人(16歳と19歳)ともはじめははしゃいでいましたが、雨風に酔ったらしく、かなり気分が悪くなったようです。
ホテルに戻ってからもしばらく寝ていました。
船に弱い人、宵止めが必要かも・・。

送迎の人は、特に迎えに来た人はあまり感じのよくない人でしたが、現地の受付のお嬢さんは感じよかったです。

Tandem parasailing タンデムパラセール

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

This was my second time parasailing, and this time I participated with my wife and our two children, making it a group of four. Since we could ride tandem, the kids were able to join safely, which I really appreciated. If we had gone solo, it wouldn't have been possible with small children. At first, the kids were a bit nervous, but as we ascended and they got used to it, they were able to take in the surrounding scenery. Experiences like this are rare, so the kids were really excited. I'm truly glad we participated.

 パラセールは2度目で、今回は、子ども2人と家内の4人で参加しました。タンデムで乗れるので子どもも安心して乗ることができ、本当によかったと思います。シングルでは、小さな子どもがいる場合には、参加できませんからね。子どもたちは、初めのうちは緊張していたのですが、上昇し、なれてくると周りの景色を見る余裕もできてきました。このような経験はほとんどできないので子どもたちは、興奮していました。本当に参加してよかったと思います。

ハンズ・ヒーデマン サーフィンレッスン

First surfing 初サーフィン

Reviewed by: えみ

It was also featured in the Camp Camp Ebi-chan Hawaii book, but personally, I found it a bit disappointing. It's true that it seems anyone, even complete beginners, can stand up on the board after just one lesson. However, there was only one female Japanese staff member, which made us, who are not good at English, feel a bit anxious. Also, the location where the lesson took place had a lot of rocks and coral, and two out of four people in our group got injured... I was scared, so I made sure not to fall off the board. Since it was my first time, I’m not really sure, but is that how it usually is?

キャンキャンのエビちゃんハワイブックにも載っていましたが、、、。
私的には、少し期待外れでした。確かにどんな初心者でも1回のスクールで立てるようになるみたいです。
ただ、日本語スタッフは女性の方ひとりだけみたいで、英語が苦手な私たちとしては、不安な部分もありました。
それとスクールが行われた場所は、岩や珊瑚がたくさんあって、グループ4人中2人が負傷。。。
私は怖かったので意地でもボードから落ちませんでした。
初めてだったのでよくわかりませんが、そんなもんなんでしょうか。
