Hawaii
This was my second trip to Hawaii with my friend. We were looking for activities to enjoy nature, and we came across this tour. Since it included hotel pickup, the meeting went smoothly. I thought it was considerate that they left a message on the hotel voicemail regarding time changes (although we didn't know how to check the voicemail and ended up waiting, haha).
Also, since the activity started in the afternoon, we were able to enjoy a leisurely breakfast before participating. It was my first time at Hanauma Bay, and I was amazed at how well the natural environment is preserved, and the sea was truly beautiful! We were fortunate with the weather, and the scenery was fantastic.
Our guides, Dan and Chieko, were very kind and provided excellent instruction, following us closely even in the water. At the beach in Hanauma Bay, we encountered mongooses and crabs! Underwater, there were schools of fish, as well as colorful fish, and the most impressive sight was the sea turtles. We were able to get very close to a sea turtle swimming gracefully. (Note: Touching sea turtles is prohibited in Hawaii.)
They provided snorkeling sets and mats for our belongings, and after the activity, there were drinks and snacks available. You can also leave a few valuables with them. They upload the photos taken underwater to Facebook, so you can download them.
It was so much fun that I will definitely participate again! Next time, I would love to try diving as well!
女子2人旅でハワイは2回目。自然を満喫できるアクティビティを探していたところ、このツアーに出会いました。
泊まっているホテルピックアップだったので待ち合わせもスムーズに行えました。時間の変更も、ホテルの留守電に入れてくれていたので丁寧だと思います。(私たちは留守電の聞き方がわからなかったので待ちぼうけしましたが笑)
また、お昼からのアクティビティだったのでゆっくり朝食を済ませてから参加しました。
ハナウマ湾は初めて行きましたが、自然が大切に保護されていて何より海が本当にきれい‼︎天候にも恵まれて景色も最高でした。
ガイドのダンさん&ちえこさんもとても優しく指導してくださり、海の中でもバッチリフォローしてくれました。
ハナウマ湾のビーチではマングースやカニに出会えます‼︎海の中では魚の群れはもちろん、色とりどりの魚たち、そして一番感動したのはウミガメ。優雅に泳ぐウミガメのすぐそばまで近づくことが出来ました。(注:ハワイではウミガメに触れることは禁止されています)
シュノーケルセット、荷物置き用のゴザを貸してもらえますし、終了後には飲み物とお菓子のサービスもありました。貴重品も少しなら預けることができます。
海の中で撮った写真をFacebookにアップしてくれるので、ダウンロードできます。
とっても楽しかったのでまた絶対参加しまーす!
今度は是非ダイビングもしてみたいです☆
It was a lot of fun and good for beginners, as I and my husband were. Turned out that snorkeling is very easy! "Just be the turtle!"
Pleasant and funny crew.
Thanks a lot!
This tour was the highlight of our trip. My 13 year old son and I had an awesome time. Our tour guide Amos was very knowledgeable, friendly, and my son talked about Amos and the hike the whole ride home. We will definitely do it again!
This was a great tour. Our tour guy, I believe his name is Sam was very helpful and funny. Sam was also very knowledgeable and he made the tour a memorable experience for us. We like the fact that we get to plan out our activities and get to see couple places at North Shore. The only suggestion that we think can improve for the tour is the activities in the afternoon. There wasn't a lot of options in the afternoon activities like in the morning. Overall, we enjoyed the tour very much.
Aloha Betty,
Mahalo for your review and to make suggestions on how we can improve. This is essential to make guest's experience even better. We will think about ways to try to incorporate more activities to the pm break. Alooooha!
The captain was a very nice person, and I received various services that I can't write about here. The children also seemed very happy. It was a great experience.
キャプテンがとても良い人で、ここでは書けないようなサービスを色々受けることが出来ました。子供もとてもうれしそうでした。
とても良い体験ができました。
I used this service for my first trip to Hawaii. Although there were no staff members who spoke Japanese, both the shuttle staff and the onboard staff were friendly and welcomed us warmly. There was also a Japanese manual before boarding the boat, which made me feel at ease for the departure. During parasailing, they kept the atmosphere lively, and I was very satisfied and had a great time. However, the only disappointing thing was that the car finally arrived 15 minutes past the initial pickup time. Since I was anxious being in a foreign country, I think it would be reassuring if they could somehow improve that aspect, and I would feel comfortable using the service again.
初めてのハワイ旅行で利用させていただきました。
日本語を話せるスタッフさんはいませんでしたが、送迎スタッフ、船上スタッフ共に愛想が良くてとても暖かく迎えてくれました。
ボートに乗る前に日本語のマニュアルもあったので安心して出発でき、
パラセーリング中も盛り上げてくれてとても大満足で楽しむことができたのですが、ただ一つだけ残念なのは、最初のピックアップ時間を15分過ぎてようやく車が来たことです。
外国で不安なのでそこだけどーにかしてくれると安心してまた利用できると思います
About 7 to 8 years ago, I participated in surfing lessons here. It was my first time, but I managed to ride the waves a few times and had so much fun that I decided to join again. This time, I successfully rode all the waves! Yay! The staff were incredibly helpful, and I realized once again that this school is the best. They give you a little push at the moment you catch the wave, which makes you feel like you've really "caught it!" After that, all you need to do is stand up calmly, and you're good to go! Riding the waves was a success. Of course, paddling is tough, but my sister, who joined me, is also a woman in her late 40s. If you have the motivation, you can definitely do it, so I highly encourage everyone to give it a try. Surfing in Hawaii is the best memory for a trip!
By the way, I also tried surfing on the Gold Coast, but I couldn't ride a single wave. I wonder if the waves in Hawaii are better or if the staff are just that good, as it felt surprisingly easy to stand up.
I was a bit worried after seeing some comments saying the service was "neglected," thinking, "Was it really great 7 to 8 years ago but has changed?" However, that was not the case at all. The staff were truly amazing, encouraging me with wonderful smiles and providing strong support. Even when I was paddling hard but not making progress or couldn't go in the direction I wanted, they offered solid support.
In the end, I wanted to take a photo with the staff who took care of me the most, but I missed the chance, which was disappointing. They were busy cleaning up, and I felt bad interrupting them. It's impressive that they clean up after the lesson too; they are truly powerful staff! If I go to Hawaii again, I will definitely participate in the lessons. By then, I might be over 50... (laughs)
7~8年前にも、ここのサーフィンレッスンに参加しました。
その時初めてだったのですが、何度か波乗りに成功し楽しかったので、また参加しました。
今回は波乗り全部成功しましたよ。ヤッター!スタッフの方に大変助けてもらって、やはりここのスクールでなくっちゃと改めて思いました。波乗りの瞬間、ひと押し入れて下さるんですよ~。これで「乗った!」と実感できるので、あとは落ち着いて立てばOK!波乗り成功です。もちろんパドルはしんどいですが、私も一緒に参加した妹も40歳後半女性です。やる気があれば、がんばれますので是非是非皆さんも体験して下さい。「ハワイでサーフィン」なんて旅の思い出として最高です!
(ちなみにゴールドコーストでもサーフィンに挑戦しましたが1度も乗れませんでした。ハワイは波が良いのか、スタッフが良いのか不思議と簡単に立てます)
時々、書き込みで「放ったらかし」とあったので、「7~8年前は凄く良かったけど変わってしまったのかな?」と心配していましたが、全然そんなことなく、素敵な笑顔で励ましてくれたり、力強く助けて下さったり、本当に最高のスタッフでした。一生懸命パドルしてるけど力不足で進まない、行きたい方向に行けないなんて時にはしっかりサポートしてくれます。
最後に一番面倒を見てくれたスタッフと写真を撮りたかったのですが、取り損ねて残念。後片付けを一生懸命されてるので声をかけるのが申し訳なくて。あのレッスンの後に後片付けもなんて、本当にパワフルなスタッフです!
またハワイに行ったら、絶対レッスンに参加します。その時、私50歳超えかもですが。。。(笑)
Thank you for your wonderful comment, kANG SISTERs.
All of our staff are delighted.
Next time, please don't forget to take a photo with our staff as well (laughs)!!
Thank you for your repeat visit. Until we meet again! Aloha.
kANG SISTERsさま ステキな コメントありがとうございます。
スタッフ一同喜んでいます。
次回は 是非私たちスタッフと お写真も忘れずに(笑 !!
リピート ありがとうございました。 また お会いできる日まで! アロハ
This trip was a total disappointment. Didn't see the inside of any caves. I don't mind exercising but the work this trip took was brutal. There were seven in our group and we all felt the same way about trip! Don't book this activity!
We went as a family of four. There were about six groups, including us, who boarded the boat and set off from the port to start parasailing in turn. It felt amazing and really got our spirits up! I highly recommend it! The instructions were only in English, but I managed to understand by watching the others. There isn't a designated place or time to change, so it's better to wear your swimsuit underneath when you go to the hotel. You can return even if you're wet.
家族4人で行きました。
行った先では私達含めて6組くらい
一度にボートに乗って港を出発して順番にパラセイリング開始します。めちゃくちゃ気持ちくてテンションあがります!オススメです♪
説明が英語のみでしたがなんとなく他の人たちのを見てたらわかりました。
着替える場所と時間が準備されている訳ではないのでホテルで中に着ていった方がいいです。濡れたままでも帰れます。
This gets any star at all because we enjoyed the water and the sailboat. The ad for it is a total scam. It should say "come aboard our sailboat and let Mother Nature wave you around for exactly one hour and forty five minutes. ". It is a misleading ad as it says they have spared no cost in treating us to a lux cruise on board with Bose sound and large screen tv. Really? I think I may have heard a radio and who wants a tv anyway so why advertise it. They give you a drink ticket and when hmm husband ordered a Heineken she passed him some crappy off brand can. The Heineken was only available for purchase once you redeem your free ticket. The ad also talks about wildlife and don't really count on any. It is not a cruise to a specific place where there are known sea life. So, two stars one for the boat even tho the sail had a big rip in it and one star for the crew who showed us how to use a life jacket. The rest of it is the beautiful nature of the water which all of the scammers are taking advantage of as they steal tourists money.
I participated with my wife and middle school children. First of all, I was impressed by how clear the water was. From the boat heading to the snorkeling point, I could see the colors of the tropical fish close to the surface. Upon arriving at the point, we first experienced the underwater scooter. A little diving required pinching my nose to equalize, but after that, it was just a matter of turning the throttle on and off. The divers adjusted the direction and distance from the surface as needed, making it easy to operate. Being close to the surface and having the divers nearby made it reassuring to enjoy the underwater experience. We had a net with pieces of bread attached to the front of the scooter, which attracted the fish. I had done experience diving and snorkeling before, but this was the first time I was surrounded by fish so closely that my view was almost blocked. The diver signaled for us to look down, and when I did, I saw a large sea turtle leisurely resting on the seabed. After finishing with the scooter, we soon boarded a rubber boat and moved to a shallow point closer to the open sea. I thought it was better described as shallow rather than a sandbar. When I asked the guide, they said it was around the time between high and low tide, so the water was about knee-deep. The sand was beautiful, and the water above it sparkled, making just walking around enjoyable. It was my first time trying stand-up paddleboarding, and it was more challenging to balance while standing than I had expected. The two hours flew by. The pleasant breeze, clear water, many beautiful fish, and the sparkling sand in the shallow area created an extraordinary experience that still comes to mind when I close my eyes.
妻と中学生の子供たちと参加しました。まず、水がとても澄んでいて感動。スノーケルポイントに向かうボートから、水面に近づく熱帯魚たちの色がよく見えました。ポイントに着くと、最初に水中スクーターを体験。少し潜ったところで鼻をつまんでの耳抜きが必要でしたが、あとはアクセルのオンオフだけで、ダイバーの方々が進む方向や水面からの距離も都度調整してくれ簡単に操作できました。水面から近く、ダイバーの方が側にいてくれるので安心して水中を楽しめました。パンの切れ端の入ったネットをスクーターの前につけていて、魚達がそこを目指して集まってきます。体験ダイビングやスノーケルをやったことはありましたが、これほど、至近距離で、視界がふさがるくらい魚たちに囲まれたのは初めてでした。ダイバーの方が下を見てと合図してくれ、下を見ると大きなウミガメが海底にのんびり沈んでいました。スクーターを終え、しばらくすると、ボートからゴムボートに乗り込み、沖に近い遠浅のポイントに移動。サンドバーというより遠浅といったほうがいいかと思いました。ガイドさんに聞くと満潮と干潮の間くらいとのことで、水は膝くらいありました。砂がきれいで、その上の水がきらきらしていて歩いているだけで楽しかったです。スタンドアップパドルは初めてで、思っていた以上に立ってバランスをとるのが難しかったです。あっという間の2時間でした。心地いい風、透き通った水、たくさんのきれいな魚達、遠浅で見たきらきら輝く砂。目をつぶると今でも浮かぶ非日常体験でした。
This time I challenged myself to 150 meters!! The wind was weak on the ground, but there was quite a bit of wind at 150 meters up, and it was scary holding the camera while desperately gripping the safety belt (laughs). Also, I was surprisingly prone to motion sickness, so I recommend taking some anti-nausea medication before participating!
今回150mに挑戦しました!!
地上は風が弱かったのですが、150m上空はそれなりに風があってカメラ片手に乗っているのが怖いくらいで必死にベルトにつかまってました(笑)
あと意外に酔い易いので、酔い止めを飲んでからの参加がおススメです!
It was after a once-in-a-decade hurricane hit Hawaii, so I was worried about the strong winds and whether my 8-year-old could participate. However, the weather was great on the day of the event, and we were able to enjoy the wonderful scenery. My child was thrilled and said, "It was the best!" For $30, we got a lot of photos, which were given to us on an SD card right there. Since I can't take photos like that myself, it was a bit pricey, but I'm glad I asked for it.
10年に1度のハリケーンがハワイにやってきた後だったので、風が強いかな~8歳の子ども、参加できるかな~と不安でしたが、当日は天気も良く、すばらしい景色を楽しむことができました。子どもも、「最高だった~!」と大喜びでした。30ドルで写真をたくさん撮ってもらえて、その場でSDカードでもらえました。自分じゃ撮れないので、ちょっと高いけど、お願いして良かったです。
Last year and this year, I visited the Big Island of Hawaii for two consecutive years. Last year, I went to Volcano National Park, but this year I challenged myself with sea kayaking and snorkeling in Keauhou. It was just the two of us and our three elementary school children, and we were able to have a private party, which allowed us to fully enjoy at our own pace. The morning sky and sea were richer and more vivid than those in Japan, and the sea breeze felt amazing while kayaking. The sea caves themselves are a natural wonder, and while they are impressive, my actual impression was just okay. Additionally, getting there was a bit hard for our young children, but the sea kayaking itself was a lot of fun. We didn't see any honu (sea turtles) or dolphins while snorkeling, but the water was very clear and beautiful. Although I'm not a poor swimmer, I had three children with me (I was responsible for two), and since it was their first time snorkeling in the deep open sea, I decided to wear a life jacket just in case. However, the current was quite strong, making it difficult to swim, which ended up exhausting my already limited stamina. So, for those who can swim a bit, a life jacket might not be necessary. But the staff, Noni and Kevin, were very kind and friendly, which made the experience really great. Thank you, Noni and Kevin!
昨年、今年と2年連続でハワイ島に行きましたが、昨年はvolcano国立公園に行ったのですが、今年はケアウホウでシーカヤックとシュノーケリングにチャレンジしました。夫婦2人に小学生3人の私たちでしたが、私たちだけのpartyにしていただき、本当に自分たちのペースでフルにエンジョイできました。朝早くの空と海は日本のそれよりもそれぞれに濃く鮮烈で、カヤックの上で体感する海風は最高でした。海中洞窟自身は自然の産物でそれはそれなりにすごいものの、実際の感想はまあまあです。さらに、結構そこまで行くのが小学校低学年の子供連れにはいささかハード(父親50がきつかっただけか?)ではありましたが、シーカヤックそのものがすごく楽しかったです。シュノーケリンではホヌ(ウミガメ)やイルカには会えませんでしたが、透明度は高く、非常に美しいものでした。私自身は泳ぎは不得手ではないものの、子供が3人おり(私の担当は2人でしたが)、3人が完全な深い外海でのシュノーケリングは初めてだったので、もしものことを考えてライフジャケットを着用したのですが、結構海流が速いので抵抗が強く、かえって泳ぎにくく、その結果、結構もともと少ない体力を消耗させる結果となったので、すこしでも泳げる人はラフジャケットは不要かもしれません。でもスタッフのノニさんとケビンさんは非常に親切でやさしくfriendryであったので、とってもよかったです。ノニさん、ケビンさんありがとうございました。
I expected a stand up paddle board group lesson but ended up with a solo surf lesson and had a great time. Chris was a good instructor and got me out into the water and riding the waves in hardly any time at all. He was also close by and attentive to my safety and form. It was great fun and I plan on doing it again the next time I'm in Hawaii....
Aloha Amy! We're so glad you loved the surfing solo mission :) We can't wait til you're back in the water surfing again. Chris Casey definitely is a great instructor and we love that you had such a great time. Stay in touch with us on our facebook or instagram and we'll see you when you're back on island!

I had seen the catamaran at the beach for a while. Since I was traveling alone this time, I hesitated a bit, but I'm glad I participated! I had a great time!
There were no dolphins, but I encountered a honu! It was just floating around, and I was thrilled!
During the cruising, I wasn't exactly near the net, but I got pretty wet, haha. The weather was nice, so I dried off quickly and got a nice tan. I enjoyed cruising while sipping on a $5 Mai Tai. Next time, I’ll have fun splashing around near the net with my friends!
以前からビーチで見かけていたカタマラン。今回ひとり旅だったので
少し躊躇しましたが参加してよかった!楽しめました!
イルカはいなかったけど、ホヌに遭遇!普通にプカプカしていて感激!
クルージング中は、ネットのまわりにいたわけでもないけどかなり濡れます笑
天気がよかったのですぐ乾くしいい感じに日焼けできました。
5ドルのマイタイを飲みながらクルージングを楽しみました。
次回は友達とネット近くではしゃぐぞー!
The 120 meters was higher than I expected, and the strong winds made it very frightening. I thought it might have been too much for my 6-year-old daughter, and I considered canceling the parasailing we had booked for the backup day. However, despite being scared, she surprisingly enjoyed it the second time during our stay.
思った以上に120メートルは高く、強風にあおられとても恐怖でした。
6際の娘にはやはりコクだったかと思いましたが、予備の日で申し込んでいたパラセイリングは、辞めようかと思いましたが、娘は怖がっていた割には、滞在期間中、二度目はあっけらかんと楽しんでいました。
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。
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the issues with the pickup arrangements. Additionally, we regret that the delay in the pickup affected the subsequent tour time, preventing you from fully enjoying the experience. We will address this matter with the operating company and work diligently to prevent a recurrence in the future. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

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。
