Hawaii
Excellent Experience even thought I couldn't enjoy it due to pressure in my ears. However I heard it was an excellent experience from my husband.
Unfortunately, on the day of our visit, the waves were so high that swimming was prohibited at the beach, and we were informed that we couldn't be taken to the underwater cave located about three miles away. However, they explained everything very politely and offered us the option to cancel or enjoy activities in the bay at half price, so we ended up having a great time kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding in the bay. In the end, we were very satisfied.
当日はあいにくビーチでも遊泳禁止が出るほど波の高い日で、3マイルほど先の入江にある(らしい)海中洞窟までは連れて行けないとのこと。とても丁寧に説明してくれたのとキャンセル又は半額で湾内で遊んでもよいとのことだったので、湾内カヤックとスタンドアップパドルを楽しみました。結果的に満足できました。
I can only speak a little English, but I was really drawn to the idea of exploring caves by kayak, so I signed up.
At first, I was a bit confused by the speed of the conversation during the explanations, but all the staff members were really nice, so my anxiety quickly disappeared.
Although we couldn't actually explore the caves because the waves were too high (it seems this happens quite often), we paddled out about half a mile into the open sea and were able to see the grandeur of the Big Island of Hawaii, which was very moving.
However, we were confident in our physical strength and had some kayaking experience, so we were fine, but I heard that it was tough for those who were beginners.
英語は片言くらいしか話せないけれど、カヤックで洞窟探検というのにすごく惹かれて申し込みました。
やはり最初は説明の時の会話の早さに戸惑いはしましたが、スタッフのみなさんがすごく感じのいい方ばかりだったので、すぐに不安はなくなりました。
しかも洞窟探検自体は波が高くて出来ませんでしたが(そういうパターンけっこう多いらしいです)、その分1/2マイルほどの距離まで海原に漕ぎ出して、ハワイ島を見ることができ、その雄大さにとても感動しました。
ただ私たちは体力にも自信があったし、カヤックも経験ありなので平気でしたが、初めての方が大変だと言ってみえました。
Very nice and relax trip. This is our first kayak experience. The river is clam and beautiful. Snorkeling is good too, many fishes.
More Fun, affordable price, friendly people, and best provider of Parasail in Honolulu.

We participated with our 13-year-old and 11-year-old children. We made a reservation online from Japan and had no idea what to expect. However, a car picked us up at the hotel and took us to the port, where we boarded the boat right away. We joined other foreigners who had signed up directly on-site and took off as parent-child pairs. Once the boat moved out to sea, we put on life jackets and strapped on the equipment, then soared into the sky all at once. The thrill was incredible! We floated in the air for about five minutes, and as we were being lowered while the rope was reeled in, we landed back on the boat. I was amazed at how easily we could fly! The kids enjoyed it very much and weren't scared at all.
13才と11才の子供と4人で参加しました。日本からネットで予約して参加しました。どんな感じか全く想像できませんでしたが、ホテルまで車で迎えがあり、港まで連れて行ってくれて、すぐにボートに乗船しました。現地で、直接申込みしている外人さん達と一緒に乗船し、親子ペアで最初に飛びました。船が沖まで進むと、ライフジャケットを着て器具を装着し、一気に上空へ飛び上がりました。その快感は最高でした!上空で5分ほど空中をふわふわし、ロープを巻き取られながら下降してボートへ着地。こんなに簡単に飛べるんだ〜〜と驚きでした。子供たちも怖がることなく、とっても楽しめて気に入っていました。
This was an experience of a lifetime. Although the scenery was breath taking all by itself, our tour guide Princess made it even more meaningful with her knowledge of the area and the local customs. This experience will always be a fond memory of my first trip to Hawaii. Thank you Princess!!!!
We were on the boat with a family when it suddenly started having issues, so we had to turn back. We had signed up for morning activities, but we decided to come back in the afternoon. They apologized and raised the height for each of us by one level. They also took about 130 photos for $30 and gave us an SD card to take home. It was really refreshing. The creaking of the hardware added to the thrill!
私たちと一緒に乗り合わせた家族が終わったところで、船の調子がおかしく引き返すことになりました。午前中のアクティビティに申し込んでたのですが、午後から出直すことになりました。悪いねと高さもそれぞれ1つずつUPしてくれました。写真も$30で130枚ぐらいとってくれ、帰りにSDカードでくれました。とっても爽快です。金具がみしみし言うのはスリル度UPです。
I heard there would be an English instructor, and since it was in Hawaii, I thought it would be an instructor who could speak Japanese for the Japanese customers... but the person I rode with was American. Most of the staff spoke only English... but we managed somehow.
It was refreshing to soar up into the sky and look down at the ocean!
英語のインストラクターがつくとあったのですが、ハワイなので日本人のお客に結構日本語も話せるインストラクターの方だと思ったら・・・一緒に乗り合わせたのはアメリカ人。スタッフの方もほとんど英語オンリー・・・でも、なんとかなりました。
ぐんぐん空に上がって空から見下ろす海は爽快でした!
This is my first time doing parasailing with a fear of height, so it is almost like a mission impossible, therefore, I chose the lowest height which is 300 feet. it turned out it was not scary at all, I thought i would felt uncomfortable when they lifted us up from the boat, but I didn't. it was very stable when we were up to the sky flying. When we came back, it was not like we were dropped to the water, we landed back on the boat. So for those who thought you would be dropped into water, that is not going to happen. So try this one, I recommend it to anyone who would like a great view of waikiki beach in the sky.
It was so good for me.
Specialy I had experienced 9 m depth.
I floated slowly in the sky, feeling as if I were swimming. I can't forget the view of Waikiki from above.
ゆっくりと空に浮かび、まるで泳いでいるような感覚になりました。上から見下ろすワイキキの景色が忘れられません。
We kayaked to the middle of a pods of dolphins and watches them swim around us. They exhaled loudly when swimming. We then kayaked to Captain Cooks memorial all the while getting a history lesson by our guide and the low and dirty on Captain Cook. At the memorial the corels were right in our face and then there was a drop into abyss all within a 10-20 feet from the shore. We saw many corels and fish when snorkeling and everything was crystal clear and right in front of us.
My first time paragliding. When I participated, it was just the two of us and a pair of Australian women, so there was no waiting time and everything went very smoothly. I was a bit anxious since it was a tour where Japanese wasn't spoken, but the staff and other guests were very friendly, so I had no difficulties. I chose the highest option for paragliding. There was no fear, it felt great, and I had a wonderful time.
人生初のパラセイリング。わたしが参加したときはオーストラリア女性2人組とわたしたちだけだったので、待ち時間もなくとてもスムーズでした。日本語が通じないツアーなので少し不安でしたが、係りの方たちもほかのお客さんもとてもフレンドリーで不自由はありませんでした。パラセイリングは一番高く上がるものにしました。怖さはなく気持ち良くて、素敵なひとときが過ごせました。
The instructor watches all the timing for catching the waves, so even complete beginners like us were able to ride easily and have fun. A separate photographer was there to capture us while we were riding the waves. It was great to receive a ROM at the end to keep a record of the experience. The actual surfing time was just under an hour, which I think was just right in terms of physical exertion! I recommend going early in the morning as the beach is less crowded then.
インストラクターの方が波に乗るタイミングを全部見てくれるので、全くの初心者の私たちでも簡単に、楽しく乗ることが出来ました。
カメラマンの方が別で付いていて波に乗れている所を撮影してくれています。最後にROMをもらえるので記録に残すこと出来て良かったです。
実質サーフィンの時間は一時間弱ですが、体力的にちょうど良かったと思います!
朝早い時間の方がビーチが空いてるそうなのでオススメです。
so friendly staffs and good boat
time was enough and additional photo option was good
(it worth !!)
This is a must do! I don't want to spoil it for you. The crew is Awesome & staff is very friendly. Must do if on Ohau!
We decided to take this tour with my two teenage children and my parents. We had a fabulous time. My husband and daughter enjoyed the cliff jumping while the rest of us snorkeled. The trip was very relaxing and enjoyable.
I participated with a friend. It was a yacht with little rocking and no engine noise, so we really enjoyed the cruising experience. There were many foreign guests, but everyone was relaxed, and just watching them made it enjoyable. Inside the boat, Mai Tais were sold for $5, and we had a great time drinking while enjoying the atmosphere. I highly recommend it!
友達と二人で参加しました。揺れも少なくエンジンの音もないヨットなので、クルージングを満喫できました。外人のお客さんが多かったですが、みなさんリラックスされていてその様子をみるだけでも楽しくなりました。船内ではマイタイが5ドルで販売されていてお酒を飲みながら最高の時間を過ごせました。おすすめですよ。
Really well organised trip - from bus pick-up to drop off. All staff were exceptionally professional placing a great emphasis on safety. Our guide knew the area extremely well and provided intriguing insights in to the local environment. I went by myself and had a great time with the group I was allocated. I would definitely book with this company again.
It was my first time snuba diving. Molokini was crystal clear and we could see everything. After the snuba dive we were allowed to snorkel some more. We then went to turtle town. I think the corals were spawning. The water was not very clear. But we did see some more turtles. On the way back we even saw some whales.
Wet suit and the second snuba dive price were not included in the voucher. I wish hawaiiactivities would collect these added fees up front rather than we pay in the boat.
We kayaked and then hiked to the waterfall where we ate lunch.
The only bad part was that it had been raining the past few days and the road was muddy. My shoes were completely muddy and others chose to just walk bare feet in the muddy road. I think I will stay with beach activities since I can hike the Shenandoah back home. FYI- There were roosters and chickens even at the waterfall.
The boat ride was extremely bumpy, and I got quite seasick. It was fun, but motion sickness medication is a must.
Also, if the service is good, I usually leave a tip on the way out, but I’ve noticed people conspicuously leaving $20 or $30 bills. Japanese people tend to feel obligated to leave a similar amount, but it’s not necessary to pay that much. A tip of around $2 to $3 is more than enough. Be careful not to feel pressured to tip excessively.
めちゃくちゃ船の運転が荒く、かなり船酔いしました。楽しかったですが、酔い止め必須です。
また、サービスがよければ帰り際にチップを置いていきますが、これ見よがしに20や30ドル札を置いています。日本人は気を遣って同じくらい置いてしまいますが、そんなに払う必要なし。せいぜい2~3程度で十分です。気を遣わないように注意。
This was my second time attending Hawaiian Parasail in Honolulu and it wasn't as good as the first time. Everything was great as far as the actual para-sailing goes. Honestly, it felt rushed and not as excited for them to have a family of 8 for our trip. We did tip them and we don't regret it but I do wish that it felt more welcoming than it did.
But I would go again for a third time :D
I was filled with anxiety and excitement until I went sailing. I even thought about not going until the previous group sailed. However, seeing how much fun they were having made me decide to take on the challenge of sailing. My anxiety disappeared as I soared into the sky, and looking down at the ocean felt refreshing and uplifting. I am eager to challenge myself again, and next time, I want to aim even higher.
セイリングするまで不安やらわくわく期待感でいっぱいでした。前の組がセイリングするまではやめようかと思ったくらいです。ところが前の組が余りにも楽しそうだったので決心しセイリングに挑みました。空に舞い上がるほどに不安感はとれ、海原を見下ろすと気持ちが良く爽快でした。また挑戦したい気持ちでいっぱいです。今度はより高く挑戦したいものです。
Sailing on the boat, it was the second sailing of four groups. Watching the previous group's sailing, I felt smaller and smaller, almost like I was floating in the sky, and my feelings shifted more towards anxiety than excitement. When the time came, I made up my mind and went sailing. Looking back, there’s nothing more thrilling and enjoyable than this. If I ever come back to Hawaii, this is the first experience I want to have again.
船に揺られてセイリング現場まで、4組のうち2番目のセイリング。前の組のセイリングを見ていると、空に舞うほどに小さくなり期待より不安のほうが気持ちを占めるようになり、いざというとき決心しセイリング。終わってみてこんなに興奮、楽しいものは無い。ハワイにまた来るようなことがあれば真っ先にまた経験したい。
I have never kayaked or snorkeled before. The kayaking was great the instructor/guide went over everything with us. I liked it so much I will start doing it here at home. My wife loved the snorkeling. I had a bit of an issue in the begging because I sink in water so once I put the life vest on I was good to go. I recommend a gopro camera for some unforgettable footage.
The instructor was very kind, and both beginners were able to catch waves right away, which was impressive. They also captured photos of us surfing on a CD. I want to try it again!
先生が大変親切で初心者2人ともすぐに波に乗れて感激しました。波乗り中の写真もCDに収めてくれました。又トライしたいです。
It was my first time scuba diving. The instructors were knowledgable, professional, thorough and organized. They went over and beyond their duty to make my first dive experience completely enjoyable. Thank you!!
