All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

To make it in time for the meeting, we had our optional tour before parasailing shortened, but we ended up waiting about an hour from the meeting time for this optional tour. Other participants arrived normally about 30 minutes after the meeting time, and we couldn't understand why we were given such an early meeting time.

The 180-meter parasailing experience lasted about 10 minutes in the air, and the view was amazing; we even saw a rainbow, which was moving. However, after waiting so long and for this price, it ended up being just 20 minutes total... The instructors were all foreigners and were quite pushy about tips. Considering everything, I don't think I would want to do this again.

集合時間に間に合わせるるため、パラセーリングの前のオプションツアーの時間を巻いてもらったのに、こちらのオプショナルツアーは集合時間から約1時間待たされました。
他の参加者はふつうに集合時間から30分後にぞくぞく来て、自分達だけなぜこんなにはやい時間に集合時間を指定されるのかわかりませんでした。
180メートルのパラセーリングの内容は10分ぐらい空中に浮いて、景色も最高で虹も見れて感動でしたが
こんなに待ってこの値段で計20分で終わり。。。
インストラクターは外人のみでチップの煽りが激しいです。
トータルで考えてもうやりたいとは思いません。

We were in Hawaii for our 25th anniversary and this was our first trip we had booked. My husband was really looking forward to the kayaking and I was really looking forward to the ziplining. Unfortunately because of the weather (nothing the staff could have done about it - they were really great people!), but we ended up kayaking down a mud river in pouring rain. Hiking through a muddy forest. Lunch was great (sun came out and beautiful spot), but we were super disappointed that there were only 2 ziplines and then the waterfall swim was more like a mud puddle splash. Unbelievably...the weather got worse and we hiked what seemed like 5 miles out of the wettest, muddiest conditions we've ever experienced and took an open boat ride back. Soaking wet, really cold with wind blowing on you from boat ride. Our whole group all tried to keep our spirits up, after all, we're in Hawaii, but you could tell that everyone just wanted it over by the end. An unfortunate shame...probably would have rated it a 4 if it had been a sunny day.

It was amazing. Once you're in the ocean, words are unnecessary. Kevin's personality was kind and attentive, which I really appreciated.

There is no shade on the water, so sunscreen is a must.

最高です。海の中にはいったらもう言葉はいりません。
ケビンさんの人柄も親切丁寧でありがたかったです。

海上は日陰がないので日焼け止め必須です。

Wow! what an entertainer Harry was & related so well to us being Aussies & accustomed to the surfing fraternity. We're recently retired & I was on crutches after an operation & nothing was too much trouble. He made special trip in between activities to come & pick me up from Waimea Falls to save me walking. We couldn't praise him enough. Go Harry!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for a wonderful insight into life on the North Shore of Oahu.

I participated in a tour that included a kayaking experience this time, as Kailua Beach was wonderful before. The beach was as beautiful as ever, and with the wind, the kites were flying around. Since we had a guide, we received a briefing and then headed out to sea!

On the way there, we struggled against the wind, trying to synchronize our paddling. The guide, who was fluent in Japanese, explained various things when we arrived at the small island and even took photos for us, which was really nice. We also received snacks and water and enjoyed a little bit of snorkeling.

On the way back, we quickly arrived with the tailwind. The pizza for lunch was as delicious as rumored! I ended up going back the next day for the beach and the pizza. I rated it ★4 because I wished the return time had been a bit later. The staff was friendly, and I highly recommend it.

以前カイルアビーチがすばらしかったので、今回はカヤック体験を盛り込んだツアーに参加しました。
ビーチは相変わらずの美しさ、風があったのでシーカイトがビュンビュンと飛んでました。ガイドつきにしたのでレクチャーを受けいざ海へ！！
行きは風に流され四苦八苦しながら息を合わせて進みます。日本語が堪能なガイドさんで小島に到着してから色々説明してもらったり、写真撮ってくれたりでとっても良かったです。おやつとお水ももらってシュノーケリング（ほんのちょっと）も楽しみました。
帰りは追い風であっという間に到着。
ランチのピザは評判通りのおいしさ!　ビーチとピザのために翌日また行ってしまいました。
もうちょっと帰りの時間が遅いと良かったなぁと思ったので★4つにしました。
スタッフも親切でおすすめです。

I was able to participate with my 6-year-old daughter. Before we started, she was a bit scared and on the verge of tears, but once we took off, she really enjoyed it. Also, I had to decline the photo service because I didn't have any cash, but later I found out that card payment was possible, and I regretted it...

6歳の娘と参加できました。やる前になってビビって半ベソ状態でしたが、いざテイクオフしたら、楽しんでいましたよ。
あと、写真のサービスを手持ち金がなくて断ってしまったのですが、あとでカード決済可能とわかり、後悔…。

My children, aged 12 and 8, participated in private surfing lessons. Even without being able to speak English, they were able to enjoy the lessons and had a great time surfing. It was their first time surfing, but the waves in Waikiki are definitely recommended for beginners! They were able to ride the waves right away! Thanks to this, we were very satisfied! My kids have come to love surfing!

子ども、12歳と8歳とプライベートサーフィンレッスンに参加してきました。英会話できなくても、レッスン受けられる、楽しくサーフィンレッスン受けられ、子供達は、
サーフィン初めてでしたが、ワイキキの、波は初心者には、絶対オススメです！すぐに波乗りできました！
おかげで、大満足！子供達は、サーフィン大好きに、なりました！

It was our 2nd time parasailing with this company, both times were great!

This was a great adventure and our guide was very good!
I do think one should be warned a little more of how muddy the trail to the falls is, but even with that it was beautiful and fun. I would recommend this to anyone younger and in decent shape...if you have bad knees or are excessively heavy you would be much more prone to injury on the hike.
Overall experience was fabulous!

My wife and I participated in the 150m experience. It was our first time, and I was excited while my wife was nervous, but once we took off, my wife was overjoyed and thrilled, while I ended up feeling a bit scared (laughs). I was holding a video camera in one hand (just an excuse). But even though I was scared, it felt amazing and exhilarating. I thought we would definitely fall into the sea at the end, but it seems like you can choose not to get wet. However, since it's just your feet, I recommend falling into the sea at least once. Thanks to another participant, my wife was lucky enough to ride again (I'm envious). Next time, I want to participate for the longest duration!

妻と二人で150mに参加しました。二人とも初体験で私はワクワク、妻はドキドキでしたが、
いざ飛んでみると妻はとても大喜びで大興奮、私は逆にちっとビビってしまいました（笑）。
私は片手にビデオを持ちながらだったので（言い訳）。でもビビっていてもとても気持ちよくて壮快でした。
終了時は必ず海に落ちるものだと思っていましたが、選択ができるみたいで濡れずに済ますことも可能です。でも足だけなので一度海に落ちる方をお勧めします。
お一人参加の方のおかげで妻はもう一度乗ることができてラッキーでした（うらやましい）。
次回は最長に参加したいです！

A must for anyone even slightly intrigued by the world of SUP. If you do go make sure to ask for George as your instructor, he was the best and most knowledgeable.

Good Time. Had a wonderful day. The tour guide was friendly and provided a lot of interesting facts and trivia about Oahu on the drive up, as well as the trip back. Once at the North Shore the choice activities and the loosely organized agenda made for an enjoyable day. Would definitely recommend. Great value.

The lively crew really got the party going! There was even a moment where we were splashed into the sea, which was so much fun!! We also got to see a whale spouting water!!

ノリノリのクルーに盛り上げてもらいました！
途中で海に落とされる演出もあり、とても楽しかったです！！
クジラが潮を吹いているところも見えました！！

Tremendous experience! It was a great mix of kayaking and hiking. Not too hard, not too easy. We had a wonderful time!

On the day of the event, I was worried it might be canceled due to the strong winds, but the pickup car arrived on time, which was a relief. The driver was cheerful and spoke to us in a friendly manner, even though we didn't speak much English.

Regarding the photos, there was a clear explanation in English about the price ($30) and that they would be provided on an SD card. They only took pictures of the group that requested them, and it seems we checked the SD card and made the payment after returning to the port. We brought our own waterproof camera, so we didn't request their service.

By chance, we were with a pair of Japanese women, so we were lucky to be able to take turns holding each other's cameras while flying. The boat ride felt like a thrilling attraction at high speed, which was quite fun! The parasailing was also amazing! Additionally, I forgot to take motion sickness medication, but I didn't feel nauseous at all.

当日は風が強かったので中止にならないか不安でしたが、迎えの車が時間通りに来てくれてひと安心。
送迎ドライバーは明るい方で、英語があまりできない私たちにも気さくに話しかけてくれました。
写真については、値段($30)やSDカードで渡すことなど、英語ですが説明がきちんとあり、お願いしたグループだけ撮って、港に戻ってからSDカードのチェックや支払いをしていたようです。
私たちは防水カメラを持参したのでお願いしませんでした。
偶然、日本人女性2人組と一緒だったのでお互い飛ぶときにカメラを預けて撮りあいっこできたのでラッキーでした。
ボートは猛スピードでアトラクションみたいでした。
これが結構おもしろかった！
パラセイリングも最高でした！
あと、酔い止め飲み忘れたけど酔いませんでした。

Had a lot of fun on this ride. The staff was funny and the experience was incomparable.

We had a blast on our kayaking/sea cave/snorkeling tour. Our guide was absolutely wonderful and extremely knowledgable about the ocean. The weather was crisp and perfect. Would do it again and again. We even saw whales!!!!!!!!!!!

We were looking for a tour to see the North Shore but have the freedom to do what we want to do....we couldn't have picked a better tour. This is the perfect tour for people looking for freedom to do/go where they want. We had Sam as our tour guide, a native from Hawaii. He was informative and very the perfect style of guide for this tour. Knew what he was talking about, laid back but still detail oriented enough to handle everyone's activities and where they were. We went there the day of the Volcom Pipe Pro at the Pipeline. We rented bikes at the North Shore Surf Shop (an included activity with the tour - no extra charge) and that allowed us to go freely around. We rode up to the surf competition to watch live. The nice part was with the bikes, you were stuck in one spot the whole time. Watched the competition, then rode down the coast to Sharks Cove and Waimea Bay. It was great to have no schedule or "planned activities" when we got there. We had 3 hours to do what we want. Some wanted nothing to do with the surf competition and they could do what they want. Everyone had their own agenda and this tour worked great with it. (For a quick bite to eat, hit up Pupukea Grill. Its a food truck in Sharks Cove with a heavenly flatbread.) Met back next to Sharks Cove for the bus and rode to Haleiwa for the afternoon. Again, free time through the town to experience the city itself or do water activities at Surf N Sea. We wanted to experience the town, so we went into the surf shops, stores and walked around the town itself. (For a great sandwich, hit up Waialua Bakery and Juice Bar next to the grocery store...phenomenal.) For being a smaller town, Haleiwa is a very cool town to experience. After the town, we were to a beach to view the sea turtles that come on shore. It was amazing to see the turtles that close.

Booking an activity online can be a pain, but with this site it was not. The pick up and drop off service is excellent
Surf Instructors was awesome in preparing me and the rest of us newbies on what not to do and what to be prepared for The instructor I had was pateint and very knowledgable in surfing I caught almost every wave with ease. I had fun and would surf again.

It was a large family with three generations, but surprisingly, everyone enjoyed it across the generations. The 6-year-old who said it was scary and the grandmother who was hesitant were both excited after the experience.

We scheduled it for our first day in Hawaii, and it was suitable because it wasn't too strenuous after the flight, yet it was stimulating and didn't take too much time.

三世代の大人数の家族でしたのですが、以外にも世代を越えて楽しめました。怖いといっていた6歳の子も、嫌だなぁっと言っていた祖母も、体験後は、興奮してました。

ハワイ初日に設定したのですが、
飛行機あとなので無理をし過ぎす、でも刺激があり、時間もあまりかからず、適してます。

WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE WHAT WE SAW AND HOW IT MADE US FEEL - JUST SO BREATHTAKING!

A delightful small group of six experience. John was right on top of everything- He was knowledgable on how to use all the equipment and guided us to the best-ever reef for snorkeling.
We saw many whales and two even gently surfaced about 15 feet away from our kayak.
The reef was beautiful and very active with sealife- including giant turtles that hung around to greet us as we snorkled.
Refreshing fresh food picnic. Best deli-style turkey sandwhich ever!

It was a fun time, even though it went by quickly. I participated in mid-January, and after splashing into the water at first, it was quite cold. The view of Diamond Head from the ocean became a great memory. I bought some photos, but there were only about 40, which was a bit disappointing.

あっという間でしたが、楽しい時間でした。１月の中ごろに参加したのですが、最初ばしゃっと水につかってから浮上して、けっこう寒かったです。
海の上からのダイアモンドヘッドは良い思い出になりました。
写真買いましたが、４０枚くらいしか入っておらず、それはちょっと残念でした。

I travel to Hawaii every year, and usually, bodyboarding is my main activity. This time, I wanted to try paddleboarding, which has been gaining popularity in Japan recently. Unlike regular surfing, it was refreshing and interesting not being able to change the direction of the board with my gaze! I definitely want to participate again next year! The staff member Mieko was friendly and it was really fun! Many of the staff members spoke Japanese better than native speakers, providing attentive service and engaging conversations that made me feel comfortable! Thank you very much.

ハワイは毎年旅行で行ってますが、いつもはボディーボードがメインで、今回は最近日本で流行りつつあるパドルがやってみたくて参加しました。普段の波乗りと違って、目線で板の方向転換が出来ないのが新鮮で面白かったです！
来年も是非参加したいです！
スタッフのみえこさん気さくですごく楽しかったです！
日本語が日本人より上手なスタッフさんが多く細やかなサービスと飽きさせないトークで居心地良かったです！
ありがとうございました。

The sandy beach was incredibly pleasant. Walking barefoot on the fine sand felt wonderful, and I just kept walking along the endless stretch of beach. The ocean was, of course, also great. On the day I went, there were moderate waves, and while I was riding the waves on a boogie board, time flew by. The pizza for lunch was also very delicious. Everything was fantastic. I had planned to go to Kailua Town if I got bored of the beach, but I didn't have time to go to town with all the time spent at the beach.

とにかく砂浜が気持ちよかった。さらさらの砂で裸足で歩くととても気持ちよく、ずーと続いている砂浜をどんどん歩いていってしまった。海ももちろんとてもよかった。行った日は適度な波があって、ブギーボードで波乗りをやっていたら、あっという間に時間が経ってしまった。昼食のピザもとてもおいしかった。すべて最高でした。ビーチが飽きたらカイルアタウンに行くつもりだったけど、ビーチだけで町に行く時間はなかった。

There are some things to confirm in Japanese.
I don't understand Japanese.

The boat sways a lot, so I think motion sickness medication is necessary.
However, we were immediately taken back to the boat on our first attempt, while other foreign guests received a service where they were dropped into the sea once.
It might be by request, so it could be worth trying.
I wish I had studied English a bit more!

確認事項は、日本語であります。
日本語は通じません。

船がよく揺れるので、酔い止めは必要だと思います。
ただ、一番目の私たちは船にすぐに戻されましたが、他の外国の方は、一度海に落としてもらうサービスを受けてました。
リクエスト式かもしれないので、いってみるといいかもしれません。
英語もう少し勉強しとけば良かったです！

It was a shared trip with six people. I was the only Japanese; the others were one Canadian man, two American men, and a couple. The crew consisted of a captain and one other person, for a total of two.

We set sail at 6 AM and spent the first hour or so fishing for bait off Waikiki. We used a fish finder to track schools of fish and fished with sabiki rigs. It didn't go very well, but we managed to catch seven or eight decent-sized mackerel. The bait was prepared in advance and kept in the refrigerator.

After that, we headed further out to sea, setting up our rods and waiting patiently for big catches. There were hardly any bites in the morning, but after moving to a location from the south to the west of Oahu, we started to get some action. That day, we caught two mahi-mahi and two spear fish.

The excitement when a fish was hooked and the joy of reeling it in became a lifelong memory. The crew was kind and nice guys. However, for those who don't understand English, participating alone might be tough. I think it's better to join with multiple people or charter a group. The waves were quite high, but perhaps because I was enjoying the view from the second deck, I didn't experience seasickness. By the way, none of the other participants seemed to get seasick either.

６人の乗り合いでした。日本人は私だけ。他はカナダ人のおじさん１人、アメリカ人のおじさん２人、夫婦１組。クルーはキャプテンともう１人の計２人。
６時に出航して最初の１時間くらいはワイキキ沖でベイト釣り。探知機で魚群を追い回してサビキで釣ります。あまりうまく行きませんでしたが、尺アジを７，８匹確保。一応ベイトはあらかじめ冷蔵庫に準備されてました。
その後はさらに沖に出ながらロッドをセットして大物がかかるのをひたすら待つ。午前中はあたりもほとんどなかったのですが、場所をオアフの南から西の方面へ移動してからあたりが出始め、この日はマヒマヒ２匹、スピアフィッシュ２匹の釣果でした。
かかったときの興奮と釣り上げたときの感動は、一生の思い出になりました。
クルーは親切でナイスガイでした。ただ英語がわからない人は、１人で参加するのはきついかもしれません。複数人で参加するかグループでチャーターする方がいいと思います。波は結構高かったですが、２階のデッキで景色を眺めたりしていたからか、船酔いはありませんでした。ちなみに他の参加者にも船酔いはいませんでした。

I usually don't exercise at all, so paddling was very tiring for me. No matter how slow I was, the instructor waited for me, which was reassuring. Since we wore vests while snorkeling, it was enjoyable even in areas where I couldn't touch the bottom.

普段全く運動をしないのでパドルをこぐのがとても疲れました。
どんなに遅くてもインストラクターの方が待っていてくれたので安心でした。
シュノーケルはベストを着用するので足のつかない所でも楽しかったです。

The parasailing, which I was looking forward to the most on this trip, truly became my best memory. There were two staff members: one was the pilot and the other helped us with the equipment and took photos. We shared the boat with five other groups, but we were the only Japanese, and since the initial explanation was in English, I felt quite anxious before flying because I didn't understand anything. However, the staff member who helped with the equipment checked on me, asking, "Are you okay?" which was very considerate.

Once we took off, I felt like, "This is fun! This feels great!" and my spirits soared. The boat was quite rocky, so it was definitely the right choice to take motion sickness medication. I absolutely want to fly again on my next trip to Hawaii! It was amazing!

今回の旅で一番楽しみにしていたパラセイリングでしたが、本当に一番の思い出となりました。スタッフは2人で一人は操縦する人でもう一人は器具をつけてくれたりカメラを取ってくれたりする人。私たちの他に5組の人と同じボードでしたが日本人は私たちだけで、最初の説明が英語だったので全く分からず飛ぶ前はかなり不安な気持ちになりましたが器具をつけてくれるスタッフが「ダイジョウブ？」とか気遣いをしてくれたりしました。
いざ飛んでしまえば「楽しい！気持ちいい！」と4なり気持ちもはじけました。
ボートはかなり揺れるので、酔い止めを飲んでいて正解でした。
次回のハワイの旅の時にも絶対飛びたいです！最高でした！

Excellent trip with the crew on Aqua Adventure! This was our 2nd time with Aqua and WE plan on doing it again in January of 2016!
