Hawaii
I attended with my wife. It was our first time doing stand-up paddleboarding, and we had a great time. The winter Waikiki Beach has calmer waves compared to places like Kailua, and the water is clear, allowing us to see corals and sea turtles, making it an excellent spot for beginners. It's also just a short walk from our hotel, and the lessons are brief, so it's really recommended for those looking to "experience" it.
The only complaint I have is that even though it included photo shooting, they only took pictures during the first 10 minutes of the lesson. So, we didn't get any "cool" photos when we were more comfortable. If they could have taken photos for 5 minutes at the beginning and end of the lesson, it would have been a perfect 5-star experience.
妻と参加しました。初めてのスタンドアップパドルでしたが、とても楽しめました。冬のワイキキビーチは、カイルアなどと比べると波も穏やかだし、水は澄んでいて、サンゴやウミガメが見えたりして、初心者には最高の場所かも知れません。ホテルからも歩いてすぐの距離にあって、レッスンも短時間なので本当に"体験"するにはオススメです。唯一、不満を挙げるとすると、写真撮影付きとは言え、実際に撮影してくれたのはレッスンの初めの10分間くらいなので、慣れてきた頃の"カッコいい"写真は撮って貰えなかったところです。折角だったら、レッスンの初めと終わりのそれぞれ5分間を撮って貰えたら大満足の5スターでした。
Kyle and Kira were WONDERFUL!!! My 12 year old son, Brandon, and I, felt very safe and confident. I was worried about getting in and out of the kayak, but Kira made me feel very comfortable about it. We LOVED the entire excursion, and would definitely do it again, when we visit. We had the most perfect weather, too. Thank you Kyle and Kira!!! You guys ROCK!!!
Snuba diving was the best!! Kevin and Shawn were our instructors and they were so much fun! I'm scuba certified and and my best friend has only snorkeled, and snuba was so easy to do. I would absolutely do it again. I did however wish we could go deeper but you share a tank so you're limited to air. It was still a great experience and I'm really glad I did it!
Our day for this adventure was sunny and warm. The ten of us were excited to get underway and see the secret waterfall hidden amongst the trees.
The kayaks we were given were ocean kayaks and were very comfortable and easy to use.
After a very muddy hike, the cool clean water of the pool by the beautiful waterfall was very much appreciated. The hike was much muddier than expected, and at times we were slogging through muddy puddles where we could not see our feet. It was dangerous at times. Perhaps a little more preparation for those participating would be beneficial. The guides are used to the conditions and may forget that us regular folk from snow country may not be as accustomed to mud and such.
Our guide was well-versed in the natural plants, and even made us bracelets from the leaves of a tree. He was patient, and very knowledgeable.
Lunch was good and nutritious, and we were all hungry by the time we got to the waterfall.
We would do this trek again, but might check in first to see what the mud factor is!
We challenged ourselves to outrigger canoe surfing with my 3-year-old daughter, who is a bit timid. She just clung on, but she really enjoyed it and has become a total canoe fan. It might seem a bit pricey for a short time, but experiences are priceless. The value of this moment is incredibly precious. Mahalo!
アウトリガーカヌー波乗りに3歳&恐がりの娘と挑戦。ちょこなんとしがみついてただけですが、娘は本当にエンジョイしてすっかりカヌーファンに。短時間で少し高いかな、と思うけど、経験に値段はない。この一瞬の価値はすごく貴重です。mahalo!
Fantastic experience, was great for me because i cant swim but have always wanted to see deep under water! Saw some amazing fish! Loved the free time snorkelling after the bobs! Got really close to a beautiful turtle! Staff were very friendly and helpful!
We had scuba diving in Waikiki. It was more than awesome to do scuba diving in waikiki beach, swimming with sea turtle. It seemed sea turtle family . So excited seeing sea turtle under the sea.
We loved everything about this place. The experience was very personal the group was only 5 people. I have only been 10 times and it was my husbands first time it was slow enough for beginners but we still covered a lot of water. We saw so many turtles and even got to hold an octopus that out instructor found under some rocks. It was in unforgettable experience!
So much fun! We did the extreme package and I wish we had more time in the air. So recommend doing the top package. The guys running the boat were fun and very friendly.
Kira was our guide and she was fabulous! We saw hundreds of spinner dolphins and beautiful coral while snorkeling. We had a kayak picnic with amazing pineapple and treats. We climbed rocks and jumped off the end of the world! Truly my favorite thing we did while on the big Island. Thanks!
The weather was really nice and pleasant. We went higher than I expected, so it might be a bit scary for those with a fear of heights. Also, the boat was rocking quite a bit, and there were some people who got seasick.
すごくいい天気で気持ちよかった。思ったより高いところまで上がったので高所恐怖症の人はちょっと怖いかも。あと、けっこう船が揺れて船酔いしている人もいた。
A trip highlight! The trip is challenging but not overly so, the staff were very personable and funny. They were able to account for everyone's skill level to make the trip enjoyable. Seeing wildlife from so close was great. Just bring your sunscreen -- would go again in a heartbeat!
It was fun with an F. Everyone was super nice and efficient. The only draw back was that they told me we would be back in waikiki by 1230..1 but we didn't get back til 130. We were rushed to our next event.
The weather was very nice, and it was a pleasant sailing experience. The boat was large, and even I, who easily gets seasick, was fine. There was one Japanese staff member, which made me feel at ease.
Each person receives two alcohol tickets, but no one drank. It would have been even better if the tickets were a bit cheaper.
天気が大変良くて、気持ちのよいセイリングでした。
船も大きくて、酔いやすい私も大丈夫でした。日本人のスタッフが1名いらっしゃいましたので安心でした。
アルコールのチケットが一人2枚ついていますが、誰も飲まず。
別料金で、チケットがもう少し安かったらなお良しですね。
I did it at the beach near the zoo. It was my first time, but I was able to stand up. It was so much fun that I decided to do it again on-site. Next time, I want to try it at the big waves on the North Shore.
動物園の前辺りのビーチでやりました。初めてでしたが立てるようになりました。楽しかったので現地で追加してやりました。次回は波の大きいノースショアでやりたいです。
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。
