All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

My 79-year-old mother also participated. Although we signed up after arriving at the location, we were able to make a reservation smoothly. Other than the meeting point being a bit hard to find, there were no problems at all. We were surrounded by beautiful sea and sky, and we had a wonderful time; my mother was very satisfied! Also, the captain was incredibly cool!

79歳の母も一緒に参加しました。現地に着いてからの申込みでしたが、スムーズに予約も取れました。
当日は集合場所が少しわかりにくい他は何も問題もなく、とにかく綺麗な海と空に囲まれ、素敵な時間を過ごすことができ、母も大満足でした！
あと、船長さんはものすごくカッコ良いです！

We have snorkeled at the circular-shaped shore of Hanauma Bay on the southeast tip of East Honolulu, you can imagine how this beautiful cove was once a volcanic crater. Today, this crater, likely flooded by wave erosion, is home to an important nature preserve and the island's most popular snorkeling destination.

Our snorkeling trip was arranged by Hawaiiactivities.com and they were quite professional people with prompt responses and is very customer oriented. They arranged Mr. Dan to train us snorkeling. Mr. Dan is best instructor you can have in Honolulu as he explained every steps in a legible and understandable way. He has snorkled with us for many hours.

Whether you’re snorkeling a natural or artificial reef, at the beach or along the mangroves, you’ll discover amazing underwater creatures. Look at (but don’t touch) the vibrant yellow and red coral canyons and purple sea fans swaying in the ocean’s current. Coral is actually alive and it’s extremely delicate. Touching coral is detrimental to its health and can also be dangerous. It’s actually related to the jellyfish and can provide a sharp sting, burn, or cut when touched. A good rule of thumb is to stay in water that’s at least six feet deep while snorkeling over coral.

Look for tropical fish including yellowtail snapper, parrotfish, angelfish, blue tang, grouper, and hogfish. We have come across with Turtle who is is not afraid to swim with us. With such a thriving and diverse ecosystem, there’s nearly as much to discover underwater in Hawaii as there is on land!

Dan took pictures with his under water camera. It was lots of fun. Dan brought snacks, drinks, etc. too. On the way back Dan shared lot of information on best shows and tours in Hawaii. We had a great time and will definitely go again if I'm ever in Hawaii.

This was my first time snorkeling and I came from Canada to visit Hawaii. It was a beautiful experience just because we have a great instructor Mr. Dan through Hawaiiactivities.com. We came to know him through this website. Dan started with all basic instruction and shown all steps for snorkeling in detail. He has snorkeled with us and kept my kids together and safe.


It was a magic day of snorkelling in the biggest coral reef on earth. Thousands of colorful fish in the warm water. Thanks a lot to Dan You're part of memories of a life time.

Dan brought all safety devices and snorkeling equipment. He adjusted the equipment to fit very well with each of us. As my kids were not good at swimming, Dan took much patience to train them. He brought mats and drinks to relax before getting into sea.

I saw dozens of very large angelfish, parrotfish (Blue, Queen, and Stoplight), as well as many species of damselfish and butterfly fish, Sergeant Majors, Yellowtail Snapper, and I even saw a Longspine Squirrelfish! It was an absolutely perfect day.

The water was very clear. At one point I was surrounded by hundreds of fishes all swimming calmly in one direction (schooling). All of a sudden they parted (odd, because I had been swimming with them for several minutes without them seeming to notice), and I saw the most awesome and colorful fish I've ever seen in my life swim 5 ft directly under me! I thought about was how every now and then you hear stories about HUGE catfish the size of Buicks at the bottom of deep lakes.


That being said, you can imagine my initial hesitation on the day of my snorkelling experience at I might have started out a little nervous, but I can tell you right now—it ended up being my absolute favorite experience on the trip.

The shuttle service to the hotel was convenient.
There were three groups of Japanese and one group of Americans, and we chose the 120m option.
On the way up, there was a strong wind, and it felt like we were over 120m high. I considered the 150m option, but the 120m was plenty of fun.

The final splash in the sea was nice, as it only reached my shins.

I declined the $30 photo shoot and asked a Japanese person to take pictures with my digital camera.

The boat rocked quite a bit, so it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication.

The boat staff were very friendly, which was reassuring.

ホテルへの送迎付きで便利でした。
日本人3組とアメリカ人1組で、私達は120mを選びました。
上に上がっていく途中で強風が吹き、120m以上上がった感覚になりました。150mと迷いましたが、120mで十分楽しかったです。

最後の海ポチャは、ひざ下までだったので、気持ちよかったです。

$30の写真撮影はお断りして、日本人の方にデジカメ撮影をお願いしました。

ボートが結構揺れたので、酔い止めは飲んだ方がいいかもしれません。

ボートのスタッフは、かなりフレンドリーなので安心でした。

I flew in the blue sky with the blue sea below, and it was the best feeling. My husband, who has a fear of heights and was feeling anxious, exclaimed, "I want to do it again!" The staff were unique and explained things clearly, even with their broken Japanese, which was great. The wind felt nice, and I was very satisfied.

青い空に飛び、青い海を眼下に、最高の気分でした。
高所恐怖症で不安を抱えていた旦那が、「またやりたい！」と大絶賛。
スタッフの方もユニークで、片言の日本語ながらわかりやすく説明してくれたので、よかったです。
風が気持ちよく、大満足でした。

I participated with three friends, and we were debating who should go alone, but they let all three of us take off into the sky together☆

The view was amazing, and it felt really great☆彡
The usual "butt drop" was also very enjoyable(^^)

友人三人で参加して誰を一人にするか悩んでいたのですが、三人で一緒に空へ飛び立たせてくれました☆

眺めも最高でめっちゃ気持ち良かったです☆彡
お決まりのお尻ドボンも気持ち良かったです(^^)

Great time! The snorkeling was beautiful and the guides were nice and laid back. If you get sea sick/motion sick easily don't kyack on the ocean.

We had a great time. The staff was friendly, informative and helped settled the nerves of those that needed it. We were able to see sea turtles which was amazing. We saw, touched and fed the tropical fish. They took pictures of us underwater as well which will become a nice memory keepsake. A must do when visiting the island of O'ahu and so worth the money that we spent.

We participated as a family of four. Unfortunately, there was a problem with the pickup, so we didn't have enough time, which was very disappointing. We had kayaking, bodyboarding, and snorkeling included, but we couldn't do everything. For kayaking, we were upgraded to a guided tour as compensation for the trouble, and the guide was kind and made it enjoyable. However, it was very difficult for each of us to carry the kayak from the office to the beach.

Because of that, we ran out of time, and with only an hour left, we had lunch on the beach and managed to squeeze in about ten minutes of bodyboarding. We chose BBQ chicken for lunch, and it was very delicious. The guide told us that there were no coral reefs suitable for snorkeling at that beach, and since we were looking forward to it, it was really disappointing that we couldn't do it due to the lack of time. I think if we had more time, we would have enjoyed it much more.

家族４人で参加しました。
ピックアップでトラブルが生じたので、十分な時間がなく、とても残念でした。
カヤック、ボディボード、シュノーケリングがついていたのですが、全部はできませんでした。
カヤックは、トラブルの埋め合わせということで、ガイド付きにアップしてもらいました。ガイドが親切で楽しく過ごせました。ただ、各自でカヤックをオフィスからビーチまで運ぶのはとても大変でした。
これだけで、時間が終わってしまい、残り１時間というところで、浜辺でランチを食べ、無理やり１０分ほどボディボードをしました。
ランチはＢＢＱチキンにしましたが、とても美味しかったです。
そのビーチでは、シュノーケリングをするような珊瑚礁はないとガイドに言われ、楽しみにしていただけに時間もなく、できなくてとても残念でした。
時間に余裕がもっとあれば、楽しめただろうなと思っています。

I participated with my boyfriend and four friends. It was my first time paragliding, and it was amazing to soar over the beautiful ocean in Hawaii (^o^) When I was making the reservation, I was really torn about which height to choose, and I decided to go for the challenging 120 meters. However, when I actually flew, I thought there wasn't much difference between 120 meters and 80 meters. But my friends, who were watching from the boat, said it was completely different! (laughs) The male tour guides were very enthusiastic and fun, even playfully dropping us into the sea before we took off, which added to the excitement. We also requested photos for $30 for the four of us, and they took beautiful, clear pictures that we couldn't have captured with our smartphones, so we were very satisfied. The tour ended in an hour and a half, and having transportation included made it easy to plan our next activities.

彼と友達夫婦４人で参加しました。
パラセーリングは初めてでしたが、ハワイの綺麗な海の上を悠々と飛べて最高でした(^o^)
申込みの時は何mにするか迷いに迷って、ちょっとチャレンジの120mにしました。実際飛んでみると、120mも80mもあまり違いはないのでは？と思いましたが、船から見ていた友達は全然違った！と言っていました（笑）
ツアーガイドの男性達もサービス精神？旺盛で、飛ぶ前に海に落とされたりキャーキャー楽しく、盛り上がりました。
写真も4人で30$でお願いしましたが、スマホでは撮れない美しく鮮明な写真を撮って頂き満足でした。
一時間半で終わって、送迎付きなのも後の予定が組みやすく良かったです。

In the first half, we played at the beach, and in the second half, we assembled the kayaks. The part where we went to the uninhabited island by kayak was sufficient for beginners in terms of physical strength and safety. It really sparked a sense of adventure, and the view from the uninhabited island was wonderful. Yasuyo, the Japanese woman who guided us, provided excellent explanations. However, due to traffic in the morning, the pickup was delayed, and we only had about 30 minutes to enjoy the beach activities (like snorkeling), and we didn't have enough time for meals; we needed about 40 more minutes. The kayaking in the second half was quite good, so I rated it 4.5 out of 5.

前半、ビーチで遊び、後半カヤックの組み立て。
カヤックで無人島に行く部分は、体力的にも、危険の面からも、初心者には十分の内容。ワクワクする冒険心もかなり発揮され、無人島からの景色も素晴らしい。日系女性ヤスヨさんの説明もとてもよかった。
ただ、朝渋滞でピックアップが遅れ、前半のビーチで遊ぶ部分(シュノーケル等)は正味30分しかなく、食事時間も十分にとれず、時間的にあと４０分くらいは必要だった。
後半のカヤックが相当いいので、５点満点中４．５と評価。

I would like a bit more time for activities since there is a set pick-up time. The pick-up time is fine, but I would prefer the return drop-off to be around 4:00 PM! I was very satisfied with the staff's service and had a great time.

送迎の時間があり、実質の行動時間がもう少し長くほしい。お迎え時間は良いのですが、帰りの送り時間を16：00位にしてほしいですね！スタッフの対応等はとても満足で楽しかったです。

Since I was in Hawaii, enjoying the beautiful tropical sea, I decided to try the classic activity of parasailing! I went for the extreme ride at 150 meters! It was thrilling when we were deliberately dropped into the sea as we left the boat! The vast blue ocean and the distant view of Honolulu were breathtaking, making me feel at ease despite the height. I highly recommend this experience if you visit a southern island.

However, I was disappointed that the photo service provided by the staff did not include the pictures I was hoping for on the CD-R we received at the end.

せっかくのハワイ、せっかくの常夏の海だから、定番のアクティビティ・パラセーリングに挑戦しました！
どうせなら、と言うことで150メートルのエキストリームライドにアタック！
ボートから離れるときは、わざと海に落とされたりとすごくスリリング！
広く蒼い海と、遠くに見えるホノルルの町並に感動して高さを感じない気持ちよさがありました。
南の島に来たのなら是非体験して欲しいです

ただ、スタッフによるフォトサービス、最後にいただいたCD-Rには、期待していた写真が記録されてなくて残念です。

Five adults were very satisfied (^o^)
It was three times more fun than we expected!
Next time, I want to ride during the sunset ^_^
We couldn't jump in because it was full on the day, so making an online reservation was definitely the right choice ^_^

大人５人大満足(^o^)
予想の3倍楽しかったですよ！
つぎはサンセットで乗りたいです^_^
飛込みは当日は満員で無理でした。ネット予約して大正解でした^_^

This is my fourth time in Hawaii, and I've used this service three times. I recommend it for the afternoon of the first day. It's a large catamaran, so there's not much rocking, which makes it安心 (safe).

ハワイは4回目ですが　内3回利用しています　
初日の午後にお勧めです
大型のカタマランですので　揺れもさほどなく
安心です　

My 7-year-old daughter was really excited to get on the boat, but once we headed out to sea, she got scared and didn't want to jump. However, with the instructor's kind support, she was able to jump and it seemed like she really enjoyed it, saying she wants to go again. So, we plan to jump again next time!

7歳の娘が船に乗るまではノリノリだったのに実際に沖へ出ると怖がって飛ぶのを嫌がってたんですが、インストラクターの優しいサポートで飛ぶことができ、相当気持ちが良かったらしくまた行きたいと言ってました。
なので次回もまた飛びたいと思います！

We chose this tour because of the Japanese guide. On the day of the tour, we were the only participants, so it felt like a private experience♪

Unfortunately, we didn't see any dolphins, but we had a lot of fun snorkeling! The pineapple we had afterward was incredibly delicious! One of my friends seemed to get seasick from kayaking, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to it. Also, it gets quite sunny, so having a hat, sunglasses, and a rash guard would be a good idea.

Despite feeling sick, my friend said kayaking was really fun and expressed a desire to join again.

The photo is of the guide diving. I couldn't help but take a picture because it looked so cool (^▽^;)

日本語のガイドさんということで、こちらのツアーに決めました。
当日は私たち1組だけの参加で、貸し切り状態♪

残念ながらイルカは見れませんでしたが、シュノーケルもできて楽しかったです♪
終わった後にいただいたパイナップルがすごく美味しかったです！
友達はカヤック酔いをしてしまったようで、乗り物酔いしやすい方は酔い止め必須かと。
あと、かなり焼けるので帽子、サングラス、ラッシュガード上下があった方がよさそうです。

友達は酔ったにもかかわらず、カヤックが相当楽しかったようで
ぜひまた参加したいと言っていました。

写真はガイドさんが潜っている写真です。
かっこよかったので撮ってしまいました(^▽^;)

I had a little free time, so I signed up on-site. It was easy to participate with free transportation to the hotel, and the weather was nice, but the view from the ocean off Waikiki Beach was absolutely stunning. During the ride, I was told about delicious restaurants and had some interesting conversations, which made it a lot of fun.

ちょっとした空き時間が出来たので、現地で、申し込みしました。
ホテルまで、無料送迎付きで、手軽に、参加出来たのに、天気良かったのもありますが、ワイキキビーチ沖、海の上からの絶景最高でした。
送迎中、美味しいお店など、教えてもらったり、面白いおしゃべりしてもらったりで、楽しかったです。

I was anxious because I couldn't speak English, but the person explaining things was able to communicate in Japanese, so I was able to understand everything without any issues. After that, we headed straight to the beach! The lesson was right in front of us on the beach! Although the lesson was in English, it was fine with gestures! They quickly taught me the tips to stand up, and I was able to ride the waves multiple times. They even took photos of me riding the waves, which became the best memories! I highly recommend it!

英語喋れなくて、不安だったんですが、説明してくれる方は、日本語OKだったので、問題なく説明終えれました。
その後、早速、海へ！
歩いてすぐ前のビーチでのレッスン！
レッスンは、英語だったんですが、見ぶり手振りでOK!
直ぐに立てるコツ教えてもらえて、何度も、波に乗れました。
波に乗ってる写真も撮ってくれていて、最高の思い出になりました！
オススメします

I had such a great time. The beautiful sea of Hawaii Island was so healing. Thank you, Kevin and Noni! I really appreciate your help.

On the day of our trip, the sea was rough after the hurricane, so we decided to cancel the underwater cave exploration for safety and to consider our stamina. Instead, we enjoyed kayaking and snorkeling. As soon as I dove into the water while snorkeling, I was thrilled to see a school of needlefish swimming right in front of me. The underwater world is truly a different realm. It was amazing to see a world that I had only ever seen on television right before my eyes.

At one point, my wife got seasick while kayaking, so we split into two groups for the second half: the men went back out to the open sea with Kevin, while the women had a lovely time with Noni. Although we couldn't do the cliff jump that we were looking forward to, Noni quickly came up with a plan to jump from the dock in the bay! Every time I look at the photos you sent, I vividly remember that moment, and my whole family had a truly satisfying time.

But I still want to go to the underwater cave, so I declare that I will participate again next time. Mahalo!

いやぁ～楽しかった。ハワイ島のきれいな海に癒されました。
ケビンさん ノニさんありがとう！お世話になりました。
当日はハリケーン一過で、海は荒れ模様でした。安全と私たちの体力を考慮して海中洞窟は
中止とし、カヤックとシュノーケリングで楽しみました。シュノーケリングでは海中に潜るやいなや、目の前にサヨリの群れが回遊しており、大興奮してしまいました。海の中は本当に別世界ですね。今までテレビの中でしか見たことの無かった世界が目の前に広がり感激でした。
途中、妻がカヤック酔いでダウンした為、後半は男性陣、女性陣に別れ、男性陣はケビンさんと再度大海原へ。最後までカヤックとシュノーケリングを楽しみました。女性陣はノニさんと女子会に花が咲いた様です。また、楽しみにしていたクリフジャンプも出来ませんでしたが、急遽ノニさんが機転を利かせてくれて湾の桟橋？からジャンプ！送っていただいた写真を見るたびに、鮮明に当時の様子が思い出され家族全員、本当に大満足の時間を過ごせました。
でも、やっぱり海中洞窟にも行きたいので、次回も参加します宣言をさせていただきます。Mahalo!

Due to a pickup trouble from another parasailing experience, we were an hour late and participated with my 14-year-old son. He was satisfied as he was able to stand up and ride the waves early on. Since we were an hour late, I think we only had about an hour left for the lesson, but after the other participants left, it turned into almost a private lesson, and we were able to enjoy an extended time. Thank you to the Japanese staff member, Aiko? (I hope I’m not mistaken ^_^) for handling the pickup trouble. I definitely recommend this tour. As for me, I had to give up after 30 minutes due to a recurrence of back pain! (It was because of the hotel’s too soft bed! Just an excuse ^_^;) It's a shame I don't have any photos.

別のパラセーリングの体験談に投稿させていただいたピックアップのトラブルで、1時間遅れで、14歳の長男と参加。長男は、早々に立って波に乗ることができて満足そうでした。1時間遅れだったので、本当はレッスン時間あと1時間ぐらいしかなかったと思いますが、他のレッスンの皆さんが帰ったあとも、ほぼプライベートレッスン状態で、時間延長で楽しませていただきました。日本人スタッフのアイコさん？(だったかな。間違えてたらすみません^_^)ピックアップのトラブルから対応ありがとうございました。ぜひ、オススメのツアーです。最後に、私は？というと、腰痛再発のため、30分でgive up!(ホテルの柔らかすぎるベッドのせいだぁ！言い訳でした^_^;)写真がないのが残念。

I participated on 8/11 because I heard that there are fewer people on Mondays than on Sundays. That said, there were still quite a few people... but definitely fewer than at Waikiki Beach.

Upon arrival, we received about 20 minutes of explanation regarding lockers, rental equipment, and lunch, and then we were free to explore. The staff was fluent in Japanese, friendly, and had a great attitude, which made for a pleasant experience.

This time, I went with the purpose of enjoying the ocean, so I didn't go into town. (On a different day, I joined a tour to the North Shore and Kailua, where I did some shopping and had Kimo's pancakes.) If you're considering shopping in town, you might find that there's not enough time.

I thought about renting a bike to go to Lanikai Beach, but it became a bit of a hassle, so I ended up staying at Kailua Beach the whole time. However, I didn't have any trouble filling my time; I took naps on the sandy beach and walked along the coast.

For lunch, I had a meat plate lunch. It was simple, but the meat was tender and delicious!

日曜より月曜のほうが人が少ないという噂だったので、8/11に参加しました。
とはいえ、やはりだいぶ人はいましたが・・・。
ワイキキビーチよりは断然少なかったです。

現地に到着、ロッカーや貸出器具、昼食について20分ほど説明を受け、すぐに自由行動。対応スタッフは日本語がペラペラで愛想もノリも良く、気持ちのいい対応でした。

今回は海を目的に行ったので、街には行きませんでした。
（別日に、ノースショア＆カイルアのツアーに参加し、そちらで買い物やキモズのパンケーキを食べました。）
街で買い物も、と考えると、少し時間がたりないかもしれません。

自転車を借りてラニカイビーチまで行こうかとも思ったのですが、ちょっと面倒になり、結局ずっとカイルアビーチにいました、でも砂浜で昼寝をしたり、海岸をずっと歩いて行ってみたり・・・時間を持て余すことは無かったです。

お昼はお肉のプレートランチにしました。
シンプルですが、お肉が柔らかくておいしかった！

We were picked up by the hotel and arrived at a nearby beach. Along with us, there were many couples and groups of friends who boarded the same boat and headed out to sea. The parasailing was done for those who were shorter, and we were the second-to-last group to go. Flying over the vast ocean was exhilarating and a lot of fun, but at 150 meters high, it was really scary at the end, and I found myself wishing they would bring us down quickly, haha. The parasailing itself was enjoyable, though. The crew on the boat took photos for us, and we could purchase the data for $30 at the end. However, when I checked the data after returning home, there was nothing in it, and despite paying $30, I didn't get a refund. It was the worst experience.

ﾎﾃﾙに送迎してくれて近くのﾋﾞｰﾁに到着。私たちのほかにもたくさんのｶｯﾌﾟﾙ、友達ｸﾞﾙｰﾌﾟが同じ船に乗り海上に出ました。ﾊﾟﾗｾｲﾘﾝｸﾞは高さの低い人たちから行われ私たちはこのｸﾞﾙｰﾌﾟでは最後から２組目に乗りました。広い海の上を飛んでとても爽快感で楽しかったですがさすが１５０ﾒｰﾄﾙはすごく高くて最後は怖くて早くおろしてくれと思いましたw　ﾊﾟﾗｾｲﾙ自体楽しかったですが。写真を船に乗ってる乗組の方が撮ってくれて最後３０$でﾃﾞｰﾀを購入することができます。帰国後ﾃﾞｰﾀを見ると何も入っておらず、３０$払ったのに払い戻しもされず最悪でした。

My high school child quickly learned to ride and had a great time. The group lesson had more than 10 participants, but the staff was well-equipped, providing frequent support.

高校生の子供は、あっという間に乗れるようになり、楽しんでいました。
グループレッスンは、10人を超えるグループでしたが、スタッフが充実していたため、こまめにフォローしてくれていました。

It started at 9 AM. I participated alone, but I ended up experiencing it with my cousins who were visiting from the mainland United States. They had booked for 80m while I had booked for 120m, so they adjusted to my reservation, which made the experience longer and luckier for me. It was not scary at all and was really fun. They took photos, but my face didn't show up, and it was completely dark. There was only one photo where I could barely be seen. I bought it for $30, but I wish I hadn't. I plan to participate again when I come with friends, but this time in the evening instead of the morning. Ah, I'm really disappointed about the photos.

朝9時からでした。一人で参加したけれど、アメリカ本土から来ていた従姉妹と3人で体験することになった。彼女達は80mで私は120mで予約だったので、彼女達は私に合わされるので、時間も長くなってラッキーだった。まったく怖くなくてとても楽しかった。写真を撮ってくれたけれど、顔が写っていなくて、真っ黒だった。辛うじて一枚だけ写っていた。30ドルで買ったけど、やめておけばよかった。次回友達と来たときに参加するつもりだけど、朝ではなくて、夕方体験するつもりです。あぁ写真が本当に残念です｡

We stayed in Honolulu as a family of four (myself, my wife, our 14-year-old son, and our 8-year-old son). Our 8-year-old son was not allowed to join the surfing group lesson due to age restrictions, so we split into two groups: my son and I went surfing, while my wife and our younger son went parasailing, which we had booked in advance from Japan.

By chance, the hotel pickup times for both tours were the same. On the day of the tour, I went to the reception first, and when the driver arrived, he called my name, and my son and I got in. I provided my full name and handed over the voucher (which clearly stated surfing), but it turned out to be the parasailing van. I asked the driver to go back so we could switch with my wife and younger son, but the driver insisted he couldn't go back due to time constraints!

We arrived at Hilton Lagoon Harbor in about 15 minutes, and reluctantly, the boat departed without us. I then called VELTRA for assistance. With the help of the person in charge of the surfing tour, they arranged for my wife and younger son to be picked up by the surfing tour van, allowing us to switch and participate in both tours, albeit one hour late.

We had another tour booked for the afternoon, and for a moment, I feared we might have to cancel one of the tours that day! I am very grateful for the support from both tour desks. This kind of trouble turned into a memorable experience of our trip.

Lastly, I have one piece of advice: please ensure that drivers are properly instructed to confirm the details on the voucher (full name, tour name).

家族4人(私、妻、長男14歳、次男8歳)でホノルル滞在。8歳の次男は年齢制限でサーフィングループレッスンがNGとの事で、私＋長男→サーフィン、妻＋次男→パラセーリングと二手に分かれて、日本で事前予約してました。たまたま二つのツアーのホテルピックアップ時間が一緒。当日私が先にレセプションに出ていて、やって来たドライバーに名前を呼ばれ、長男と乗り込みました。フルネーム言ってバウチャー(当然サーフィンと書いてある)も渡しましたが、途中でパラのバンである事が判明。ドライバーに、戻って妻＋次男とチェンジしてくれと話ししましたが、ドライバーのオッチャン、時間がないから戻れないの一点張り！15分程でヒルトンラグーンのハーバーに着いてしまい、止むを得ずその回のボートには出発してもらいVELTRAに電話。サーフィンツアーの方の担当の方の協力もいただき、サーフィンツアーのバンに妻＋次男をピックアップしてもらい、私＋長男と入れ替わり、1時間遅れで、両方のツアーに参加できました。午後にも別のツアー予約しており、一瞬、どれかのツアーを当日キャンセルしなければならない！との最悪状況を想定しましたが、両方のツアーデスクの担当の方の対応には大変感謝してます。こんなトラブルも印象深い旅の思い出になりました。(^o^)/
最後に一つだけ苦言を。やっぱりバウチャーの内容(フルネーム、ツアー名)はドライバーにきちんと確認するよう指導お願いします。

It was my first experience with paddle surfing. The guide couldn't speak Japanese, but I was able to enjoy the lesson without any problems. Standing up was more difficult than I expected, and I couldn't catch any waves, but I had a great time. I would like to try again.

パドルサーフィン初体験でした。ガイドは日本語できませんでしたが、講習も問題なく楽しめました。予想以上に立つのが難しく波には乗れませんでしたが楽しめました。また、挑戦したいです。

Very fun!! The people were super nice and professional. Good price and the money for the pictures is well worth it.

Wonder experience! 4hour of rental was good enough to enjoy!

I went to Hawaii for my niece's wedding. I was able to challenge myself with parasailing, which had been a dream of mine for a long time, and it was so much fun. The sky and the sea, Hawaii is the best!! I landed perfectly in a small space on the boat from the sky. My skills were great.

姪っ子の結婚式でハワイに行きました。ずっと夢だったパラセイリングに挑戦できて楽しかったです。空と海、ハワイ最高！！
空から船の小さなスペースに見事に降りてこれました。腕がよかったです。
