All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

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!!

This excursion should never have happened. The first part, the paddle upriver was fine, but that's where the fun stopped. Due to the recent rain activity, the normally treacherous, 2 foot wide path to the falls was turned into a muddy,ankle busting,obstacle course. Even when it is dry, this path is just barely navigable. Several people on our tour fell down and slipped into the mud,which pretty much covered the trail. We had to cross the river a couple of times, which normally would have been a fun experience, but it turned into a survival contest for many of us. Once we got to the falls, there was nowhere to sit comfortably to eat the lunch, which we had to backpack in from the kayaks. There are rocks all around the pool formed by the falls, but you have to pick your way through them, holding on to something all the way. While the falls is cute and right out of a Hollywood TV show, it is, in my estimation, not worth the trouble and cost to see it. I suggest that this trip be left to younger, childless couples in their 20,s or 30,s, if they really need to pick their way through tree roots and rocks for 2 miles. If you have youngsters, think again about this trip. If you're over 50, forgetaboutit!!
The guide was great and tried to help as much as possible, but I think he should have called off the trip due to the rains. Someone should have gone up the trail early enough to warn everyone of the conditions. Had there been another way down from the falls, I would have paid anything not to go back through the muddy hell that we endured on the way up. I guess that some tourist companies will do anything for money, especailly when it is ours. I cannot recommend this activity to anyone until the path is fixed. This activity should be labeled "moderate to hard". Lastly, should you think that this is the raving of a wimp, I am a former Special Forces, Vietnam vet who has slogged through the worst jungles in the world and survived. This one gave me a good test.

It was exciting & scary at the same time! The strong winds made the ascent heart stopping. But once we reached our intended height, it was so peaceful.

I would do it all over again.

This is, by far, Oahu's top dive shop. Before beginning to dive, I shopped around, spoke with various instructors, and got a pretty good feel for what was available. In the end, I selected Aaron's and it turned out to be an awesome decision. All of the employees, whether they be sales associates, divemasters, captains, or instructors, are very professional, friendly, and immensely helpful. When it comes to diving, safety is always their first priority and they go to great lengths to ensure each diver is as comfortable as possible, both on the surface and underwater. There is no pretentious acting, bad attitude, or disrespect whatsoever; these guys are down-to-Earth, honest, and treat you like old friends. The number of people on a charter is kept small making every dive trip an enjoyable experience (I can say this with quite a bit of confidence after doing over two dozen dives with them from the boat), and the crew goes out of its way to cater to each person individually. This is the only operation I will dive with from now on, and if anyone expresses an interest in scuba this is where I tell them to go.

Very taxing on your upper body, first time kayaking so I didn't realize what I was in for, but we still had a great time. The snorkeling and cliff jumps were awesome!

I was able to experience kayaking for the first time! So, I'm fairly satisfied.
Since it's an English tour, I wouldn't recommend it much for Japanese speakers, but it might be good for those who want to try it.

カヤックを初めて体験する事が出来ました！ので、まあまあ満足です。
英語のツアーなので日本人の方にはあまりお勧めしませんが、体験したい方などには良いかもです。

My favorite experience while in Hawaii. You get a boat ride, amazing scenery, great staff, its fun, and you also snorkel. They also take lots of pics for you ! Highly recommended. Dont miss out!

Went on this for one of our honeymoon activities! A lot of fun! We got a complimentary shuttle from our Waikiki Hotel and then watched a video and were sent on our self guided trip! You can visit and small island while kayaking or kayak to another beach and go snorkeling! We even saw a sea turtle! Definitely would recommend and lunch was included! Beautiful beach!

It was my first time parasailing, and I thought I might be a little scared before doing it. However, once I tried it, I was so moved by the breathtaking views that I didn't feel scared at all. It's highly recommended because you can't see the city of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea (or the sky) like this. I was completely satisfied even at 90 meters. It might be okay for those with a fear of heights.

You can take photos with your own camera while flying, so I didn't purchase the optional photos. Just be careful if you tend to get motion sickness since it's a boat ride.

Also, it was very nice that the pick-up car arrived at the hotel on time, which is rare in Hawaii. The driver, Mr. Yano, who is of Japanese descent, was very engaging and talked a lot to keep the atmosphere lively. It was great that there were more foreign participants than Japanese, as it made me feel like I was truly abroad.

初めてのパラセイリングだったので、やるまではちょっと怖いのかなと思っていました。でも、やってみたら絶景に感動で、怖いとは一切感じませんでした。海から（空から）ワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッドはなかなか見れないのでお勧めです。
90メートルでも充分満足です。高所恐怖症の人でも大丈夫かも。
飛びながら持参したカメラで写真を撮ったりもできるので、オプションの写真は購入しませんでした。
ただ、ボートでの移動なので、乗り物酔いする人は気をつけてください。
また、ハワイにしては珍しく、ホテルへ遅れることなくお迎えの車が来た点は非常に良かったです。運転手の日系人ヤノさんも、たくさん話をして盛り上げてくれました。
日本人より外国人の参加が多かったのも、海外に来ている感じが味わえてよかったです。

This was an awesome tour. The driver was local and gave lots of information about the area...what it used to be and what it is now. Many changes in 45 years. There was plenty of free time to explore. That was the best!

Harry is a great guide with plenty of energy, he will make sure you have a good time and show you some of the best places to hang out. You can lay on the beach and chill out of take part in a host of activities.

I took a one-hour lesson with two instructors: one taught me how to surf, and the other took photos while I was riding the waves. I'm happy to receive the pictures! One hour was just right for me. The instructor understood Japanese and taught me kindly, so I felt at ease and enjoyed myself.

サーフィンを教えて下さる方と波に乗ったのを撮って下さる方の2名体制で1時間のレッスンを受けました。写真を頂けるのは嬉しいです！私は1時間でちょうど良かったです。先生も日本語がわかる方ですし優しく教えて下さったので安心して楽しめました。

My mother and cousin experienced the 90M, while I did the 150M. The shuttle driver was also a very cheerful and funny person. My mother, who is somewhat afraid of heights, really enjoyed it. I was surprised when she said that she felt she could go even higher when it was over! The 150M is quite high, and even I, who usually handles heights well, felt a bit nervous when the wind picked up (laughs). The crew on the boat were friendly, and although they didn't speak much Japanese, we managed to communicate through feelings. The view of Honolulu was breathtaking, and I think it would be a lot of fun for families as well. By the way, we participated with the 2 PM pickup, and since we happened to be the only ones, we were able to take our time, which was lucky.

母といとこが90M、私は150Mを体験しました。
送迎のおじさんもとても愉快な人で面白かったです。
多少高所のある母もとても楽しんでいました。
終わった時にはもう少し高くまで行けそうwとまで言っていたのでびっくりしました。
150Mはなかなか高く、普段平気な私も風がふくと少しビビりました（笑）
船の方達も気さくな方で日本語はあまり話せませんがフィーリングでなんとかなります。
ホノルルの景色も絶景で、とても楽しくファミリーでもとても楽しめると思います。
ちなみに14時のPickUPで参加しましたが、たまたま私たちだけだったのでゆっくりできてそれもラッキーでした。

It was my first time paddle surfing! It was so much fun! Luckily, I was able to see a sea turtle, which was amazing! I also got some great photos, making for a wonderful memory. Thank you!

初めてのパドルサーフィン！とても楽しかったです！
運良くウミガメも見る事が出来て、最高でした！
写真も撮ってもらえて良い記念になりました。
ありがとうございました！

I used this service for the first time, and I was able to enjoy the best view even at a height of 110 meters!! The staff were cheerful and fun locals. However, if you are prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to take medication in advance?? Also, don't forget to prepare a change of clothes!

初めて利用させて頂きましたが、高さ110メートルでも最高の景色が楽しめました!!スタッフも明るく楽しい現地の方でした。ただ船酔いをする方は事前に薬を飲んでいた方がよいかも??あと着替えも準備忘れずに!

It was my first time parasailing. I went with my husband and son, and it felt amazing. Since it was the first day of our tour in Hawaii, it really boosted our spirits. However, the bus pick-up did not arrive at the scheduled time, and when I called, they only spoke English. In the end, the bus arrived 45 minutes after the meeting time. I was quite anxious until then, so without that issue, it would have been a five-star experience.

パラセイルは初めてでした。主人と息子と3人で乗りました。とても気持ちよかったです。ハワイ一日目のツアーだったので、しっかりテンションがアップしました。
ただ、待ち合わせの時間になってもバスの迎えが来ず、電話をかけても英語しか通じないし、結局待ち合わせの時間より45分経ってバスが来ました。それまで不安でしたので、それが無ければ５つ星でした。
