All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I was super excited to catch some waves on my first surfing experience. After receiving a detailed explanation in Japanese, I headed into the ocean, and to my surprise, I was able to ride the waves and had a great time. Since it was Waikiki Beach, it was also convenient to walk there. I will definitely participate again next time.

初サーフィンで、波乗りが出来て超感激です。日本語の説明を詳しく受けた後、いざ海の中へ・・思いの他、波に乗れ楽しい時間でした。ワイキキビーチなので、徒歩での移動も便利でした。次回もまた参加します。

My wife and I participated together. The guide was very skilled in Japanese and was very considerate. However, it was disappointing that we had to carry the kayak from the shop to the beach (about 10 minutes), which was quite tiring.

妻と二人で参加しました。日本語上手なガイドさんで、とても気を遣っていただきました。ただ、カヤックをショップからビーチまで（約10分位）運んでいただけないので、かなり疲れたのが残念でした。

It was first time to do a snuba and I had great fun! So wanna do it again!!

私たちはとても親切で楽しいサーフィンのレッスンを受けました。次回もこのレッスンを受けたいです。

We hadvery kind and excite surf lesson.
Next time we'il have this lesson.

I experienced a surfing lesson. I chose a group lesson, but it felt almost like a private lesson because the instructor was with us the whole time. The lesson was in English, but they used simple language, so I think it would be fine even for those who don't understand English. There was a little mishap with the reservation time, but they responded quickly, which I really appreciated. I think it's a nice service that they take photos and provide them on a CD. By the way, purchasing the CD cost $30.

サーフィンレッスンを体験しました。グループレッスンを選択しましたがほぼプライベートレッスンのように、ずっとつきっきりで教えてくれました。英語でのレッスンでしたが、簡単な英語を使ってくれたので、英語が分からない方でも大丈夫だと思います。予約の時間を間違えてしまうというハプニングがありましたが、すぐに対応してくれてとても有難かったです。写真を撮ってくれ、CDにしてくれるのは良いサービスだと思います。ちなみにCD購入は30ドルかかりました。

Meeting in front of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, also known as the Pink Palace, 30 minutes before the start. (I used it during the dinner buffet with a show last time. To visit again for an activity...) It's very convenient to access, as it's within walking distance from the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center (trolley stop) and hotels in the Waikiki area. Heading to the beach from Kalakaua Avenue through a narrow path with board lockers, I arrived next to the counter.

First, I checked in at the counter. After reading and signing a document with important notes regarding participation, we began the lesson using boards at Waikiki Beach. First, we learned how to balance on the board, including foot and face positioning. Next, we learned paddling (the efficient hand shape), how to go through waves, and how to avoid contact with others. The instructions were very clear, which eased my tension.

Finally, we headed to the sea. First, I got on the board and paddled out. Upon reaching the surfing point, we waited for the waves. When a suitable wave came, the instructor shouted, "Paddle, paddle!" and I paddled vigorously. When I felt I could ride the wave, I quickly grabbed both sides of the board and moved into the riding position. I adjusted my stance to maintain balance and kept my gaze focused on the horizon to stay calm. At first, I was nervous and couldn't move my body as I wanted. Gradually, with the instructor's support, my desire to stand on the board grew stronger, and I managed to ride successfully. If I have another opportunity to surf next time, I hope to be able to take off on my own... I also want to review the CD to pay attention to my riding position, posture, and gaze for my next attempt. The one-hour surfing experience flew by surprisingly quickly, but it was just the right amount of physical activity. After the activity, we had a lunch buffet at the restaurant. Additionally, boards are available for rent, and I plan to surf again at Waikiki Beach later.

This was my first surfing experience, and thanks to the support of all the staff, I was able to enjoy the thrill of standing on the board. Also, I had my riding pose captured with Diamond Head in the background on the CD, creating a wonderful memory. Thank you very much for all your help. I sincerely appreciate it. If there is another opportunity, I look forward to it.

憧れのピンク・パレスことロイヤルハワイアンホテルのビーチ前に開始３０分前集合。（前回ショー付きディナービッフェにて利用。再び、アクティビティにて訪れるとは…。）ロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンター（トロリー停留所）やワイキキエリアホテルから徒歩圏内のため、アクセスも大変便利。カラカウア通りからボードロッカーのある細道をビーチへ向かうとカウンター横に到着。
まずは、カウンターにてチェックイン。参加にあたっての注意事項等書面にて一読後、署名。その後、ワイキキビーチにてボードを使用してレッスン開始。まずは、ボード上でのバランスのとり方、足や顔の向き等々。次に、パドリング（効率の良い手の形）やウェーブスルー、人との接触回避方法も学ぶ。とても解りやすく教えて頂き、緊張感も和らぎました。
いよいよ、海へ。まずは、ボードに乗りパドリングで沖へ出る。波乗りポイントに到着、波を待つ。サーフィンに適した波が来たら、先生の掛け声「こいで、こいで。」とともに、勢い良くパドリング。波に乗れたと感じられたら、瞬時にボードの両脇を持ち、ライディングの工程へ。立ち位置を修正しながらバランスをとり、目線を遠くに向けるなどをしてなるべく持続できるように平常心を保つ。最初は、緊張していたためなかなか思うように体を動かすことができませんでした。徐々に、先生のサポートによりボードに立ちたいという思いが強くなり、なんとかライディング成功。次回サーフィンをする機会がありましたら、一人でテイク・オフができるように…。また、CDを見直してライディング位置や姿勢、目線などに注意をしながら再チャレンジ計画に役立てたいと思いました。１時間程度のサーフィン体験は、驚く程あっという間でしたが体力的にもちょうど良かったです。アクティビティ参加終了後は、レストランにてランチビッフェ。また、ボードはレンタル可能、後日再びワイキキビーチにてサーフィン。
この度は、初めてのサーフィン体験でしたが、お陰様でスタッフの皆様のサポート力でボードに立つ楽しさまでも味わさせて頂きました。また、ダイヤモンド・ヘッドをバックにライディング姿をCDに収めて頂き、素敵な思い出となりました。色々とお世話になり、本当に有難うございました。心より感謝申し上げます。また機会がございましたら、どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

I went kayaking with my mother, sister, and husband. It was my first time kayaking, but Kevin and Noni taught us patiently, and we were able to paddle happily. The snacks and pineapple during the break were also very delicious, making it a wonderful experience. When we got back, even though I applied sunscreen, my skin turned really red. I felt the intense Hawaiian sun even for just a few hours. Our advice is that you should definitely bring a shirt or jacket that covers your whole body. Otherwise, your skin can get close to a sunburn. I think it would be even more considerate if King Kayak included such advice on their website, which would improve their ratings. I would love to participate again when I visit the Big Island. Thank you very much.

母、妹、主人そして私とカヤック体験しました。
カヤックは初めてでしたが、ケビンさんとノニさんが丁寧に教えてくださり楽しく漕ぐことができました。
休憩時のスナックやパイナップルもとってもおいしくて、とても良い体験ができました。
帰ってきたら日焼け止めを塗っていても肌がまっかになりました。
ほんの数時間でもハワイの熱い太陽を実感しました。
私たちからのアドバイスですが、絶対全身覆えるシャツや上着を持っていくべきです。
そうしないと肌が火傷状態に近くなったりします。
キングカヤックさんのHPでもそのような文面を入れられてるとさらに丁寧で評価も上がると思います。
またハワイ島に行ったときは、参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。

Very exciting. The crew seemed rushed but was a great time paid $30 for the crew to take pictures. Was excellent, the pictures are taken with a professional camera and had 150 + pictures on my sd card. Loved the experience!

Tour was a wonderful experience, my friend and I had a grand time! Our tour guide was great he informed us as well as kept us safe. I would recommend the tour to anyone planning on visiting the island of Kauai.

We had a great time doing parasailling. !!!! it was most amazing experience.

The cruise, which offers stunning views of the beautiful sea changing from emerald green to cobalt blue, as well as Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the water, is fantastic. Additionally, it was very convenient to board from the beach in front of the Sheraton Waikiki Resort Hotel.

リーズナブルな金額でハワイのエメラルドグリーンからコバルトブルーへ変化する美しい海と、海からのワイキキビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺められるクルーズは最高です。
また、シェラトンワイキキリゾートホテル前のビーチから乗船出来るのでとても便利でした。

The people we boarded the boat with were all foreigners, and my husband and I, who don't understand English, felt a bit anxious. However, the staff, who were also foreigners, spoke to us in Japanese, which made us feel at ease!

We went quite high up, but strangely, I didn't feel scared at all. Personally, I enjoyed the view of Diamond Head and the beautiful scenery from up high!

On the way down, we had a little splash in the sea, but it was fun! I recommend bringing a waterproof camera if you want to capture the views from above. We asked the staff to take photos with a DSLR and purchased an SD card with 70-80 photos for $30. It was worth it for the memories!

I definitely want to do this again next time!

一緒に船に乗った方々が、みんな外国の方々で、英語のわからない私たち夫婦は不安がありましたが、スタッフの方は外国の方でしたが、日本語で話してくださり、安心できました！
けっこう高いところまで上がりましたが、不思議と怖さはなく(個人的に)ダイヤモンドヘッドや素敵な景色を高いところから堪能できました！
降りてくるときは海ポチャのおまけつきでしたが、楽しかったです！
上空からの景色をとりたい方は防水カメラを持っていくことをオススメします。
私たちは、スタッフの方々が一眼レフで撮ってくれるのをお願いし、70～80データ入りSDを購入しました。30＄でしたが、思い出になるので購入して満足です！

また、次回も是非やりたいです！

I like it, it is amazing
You should try it
You well like it also

On our honeymoon, we participated in this tour on our first day in Hawaii Island. We arrived at the location, rubbing our sleepy eyes since it was early morning. The moment we got there, we were amazed by the stunning blue ocean that made us forget our sleepiness!

We were greeted by a lovely couple who were our guides. Before we set off, they gave us a clear briefing, and then we headed out into the vast Pacific Ocean! It was a private ocean just for us and the guides.

They mentioned that we might be lucky enough to see dolphins, but unfortunately, we didn't encounter any this time, which was disappointing... However, we were taken to a hidden snorkeling spot where we enjoyed the coral reefs and tropical fish to our heart's content.

Overall, we had a fulfilling time, and it helped us get some exercise, making it a win-win tour!

新婚旅行ではじめてのハワイ島、その初日にこのツアーに参加しました。早朝との事で眠い目をこすりながら現地に到着。その途端、眠気なんて吹っ飛ぶほどの青い海にまず感動！
アクティブな奥さんと素敵な旦那さんの夫婦のガイドさんが出迎えてくれました。
出発の前に分かりやすくレクチャーしてもらい、いざ太平洋の大海原へ！
あたりは私たちとガイドさんだけのプライベートオーシャン。
運が良ければイルカに会えるらしいですが、この時は会えず、残念・・・
それでも、シュノーケリングの穴場に連れて行ってもらい、サンゴ礁と熱帯魚を満足いくまで楽しむことが出来ました。
とにかく充実した時間を過ごしながら、運動不足も解消され、一石二鳥のツアーでした！

At first, I was scared because I have a fear of heights, but once I started flying, I felt great and it was amazing to have the best view all to myself! I transformed from someone who was just watching from the beach to someone who was flying. This is something you should definitely try!

最初は高所恐怖症なのでビビってましたが、飛び始めたら気分も良く最高の景色を独り占めできた感じがして最高でした！ビーチから見ているだけの自分から飛んだ自分になりました。これはやるべきです！

The parasailing ride is as exciting as advertised. You need to give yourself plenty of extra time as they tend to run at least an hour behind, but it is worth the wait assuming you have the time. We elected to purchase the photo package for $30.00 - well worth the money. We got great photo's to remember the occasion and something to share with friends when we got back. This is a definite must do while in Waikiki.

The one-hour cruise went by in no time.
With a pleasant breeze, we approached Diamond Head, which was the perfect location.
I had a great time relaxing in the beautiful interior of the boat with a beer in hand.
However, while the staff greeted us with smiles, all the explanations were in English, which was a bit disappointing as I didn't understand them well. It would have been nice if the types of drinks were written somewhere in English or if there was a menu.
Still, it was a luxurious cruise.

1時間のクルーズで、あっという間でした。
気持ちのいい風の中、ダイヤモンドヘッドに近づき、最高のロケーションです。
ゆったりときれいな船内で、ビール片手に、いい時間を過ごせました。
ただ、スタッフの方は、笑顔で接してくれましたが説明が全部英語で、よくわからなかったのが残念でした。飲み物の種類が英語表記でもいいので、どこかに書いてあるか、メニュー表があれば、良かったのですが・・・
それでも、贅沢なクルーズでした。

We participated in this tour for our honeymoon. Since it was just the two of us, we could enjoy ourselves at our own pace without worrying about others.

The tips for kayaking were taught very well, and we were able to paddle at a comfortable pace, so we didn't get tired or sore.

The snorkeling had high visibility with plenty of fish, and it was incredibly beautiful. We spent a long time underwater, but our kind guide Kevin was always watching over us without rushing, and he took many photos for us. Since it was our honeymoon, we were happy to receive lots of couple photos.

We were able to see a pod of dolphins and explore a mystical cave, making for a unique experience that could only be done by kayak.

We truly felt rejuvenated by the kind Kevin and the beautiful sea, creating wonderful memories, and we are glad we participated in this tour.

新婚旅行でこのツアーに参加しました。参加は二人だけで自分たちのペースで気を遣うことなく遊べました。
カヤックのコツも上手に教えていただき、また休み休み漕ぐ事ができたので疲れたり筋肉痛になることもなかったです。
シュノーケリングは透明度が高くお魚も沢山いて、すごくキレイでした。長い事潜っていましたが優しいガイドのケビンさんは急かすことなくずっと見守ってくれていて、写真も沢山撮って下さいました。新婚旅行だったのでツーショット写真が沢山もらえたので嬉しかったです。
イルカの群れも見ることができたり、神秘的な洞窟を見たりとカヤックでしかできない貴重な体験ができました。
本当に優しいケビンさんとキレイな海に癒され素敵な思い出ができ、このツアーに参加して良かったです。

There was a bit of confusion with the transportation, but the activity itself was truly amazing. I felt a little seasick, but the staff helped lift my spirits and made it enjoyable.

送迎に多少のゴタゴタがありましたがアクティビティ自体はホント最高でした。少し船に酔いましたが、スタッフも盛り上げてくれて気分を上げてもらうことができました。

I wasn't good with heights, but I'm glad I took the plunge and challenged myself. It was truly fun, and I want to try it again next time.

高いところは苦手でしたが、思いきって挑戦して良かったです。本当に楽しくて楽しくてまた次回も挑戦したいと思いました。

Awesome experience. Explained everything in detail and interacted with participants a lot. Shuttle bus driver was amazing- Gus. Told us history of everything we passed on the drive to the pier.

Awesome experience. Lucky enough to pay for a group lesson and got a private lesson instead. Staff is friendly and social. Will have a great time. Was able to fully stand up on my 3rd attempt and stood up for the rest of the waves.

I couldn't speak any English at all, but it wasn't a problem. The explanations included some Japanese, so it was manageable to some extent. I had fun, but when I tried to buy photos, I was told that they hadn't taken any. I was really disappointed since I wanted to have them as memories from our honeymoon. It seems that the number of photos varied; some people had around 30 photos, while others had about 50. It was disappointing because there were inconsistencies in whether photos were taken or not, especially since I had a great time.

全く英語を喋れないんですがまぁ問題はなかったです。
説明も日本語を交えながらなのである程度大丈夫です。
楽しかったんですが写真を買おうとしたところ写真撮ってないとのこと。
ハネムーンの思い出にと思っていただけにかなり残念でした。
写真の枚数もムラがあるみたいで買われていた方は３０枚撮ってある方もいれば５０枚くらいの方もいらっしゃいました。
撮ったり撮らなかったりがあるので楽しかっただけに残念でした。

This was an amazing experience and the staff was awesome and full of a lot of fun. They played great music and were really nice and informational. Tons of fun!

Three of us from Nebraska went surfing! One got up on waves! had a great time!

The view was incredible, that's true, but the parasailing itself didn't last even 5 minutes. Really disappointed to pay the price for an activity which was supposed to last 10 minutes!

It was the first time for both of us. One of us was a little nervous because she might get seasick on the boat. In fact, we had to wait for a while before parasailing, and so she got very sick. Can you imagine what happened to her? :) The two crew members must be very good at everything on the boat. They were very nice and tried to make us comfortable. We were very impressed. Anyway, thank you very much for their hospitality. We had a wonderful time!!!

Since it was our first experience, I was honestly worried about various things. The parasailing itself has a very simple procedure, and the two crew members seemed experienced, guiding us clearly. I don't think there would be any problems even if you have no confidence in your English.

The only issue was seasickness. As expected, my friend got seasick and ended up throwing up at 150 meters above the sea (laughs). The captain was constantly checking on us, so he probably saw that incident as well. However, just before bringing us back to the boat, they let us dip our lower bodies into the sea, which felt great. Thanks to that, my friend seemed to feel better and was able to return to the boat.

I guess there are people like that sometimes. They seemed very experienced and were considerate of my friend, who was exhausted when we got back to the boat, making sure she could hold on to the edge. Since it was just the two of us girls, it was very reassuring.

Other than that, it was really, really pleasant, and we had the best experience. The two crew members were friendly and fun, and even with my poor English, they chatted with us happily. I'm sorry I don't remember their names, but thank you so much! ヽ(^o^)丿

初めての体験だったので、正直いろいろと心配でした。パラセーリングそのものは、とてもシンプルな手順ですし、クルーの二人も慣れているようなので分かりやすく誘導してくれます。たとえ英語に全く自信がなくても、特に問題はないと思います。
1つだけあるとしたら、船酔いですね。案の定、友人は船酔いをしてしまい、海上150mにて溢れてしまいました（笑）キャプテンはずーっと私達の様子をチェックしていますから、恐らくその出来事も見たと思います。ですが、船に戻す直前に、私達二人をザバーンと気持ちよく下半身だけ海につけてくれました。そのお蔭で、友人もすっきりしてボートに戻れたようです。
ときには、そのような方もいらっしゃるんでしょうね。とても慣れている様子で、ボートに戻ってぐったりしている友人のことを気遣い、ボートの縁で居られるようにシッカリ掴んでくれていました。女二人だったので、とても心強かったです。
それ以外は、本当に本当に気持ちよくて、最高の経験ができました。クルーの二人も気さくで楽しくて、拙い英語ながら楽しそうにお喋りをしてくれました。名前を憶えていないので申し訳ないのですが…本当にありがとうございましたヽ(^o^)丿

I highly recommend Kamata-ran, which was also suggested by the locals. Since I arrived earlier than the meeting time, I took a swim at Waikiki Beach. And finally, it was time to board! The beautiful sea, scenery, and pleasant breeze felt wonderful. However, since the sun is strong, I think it's better to have a jacket or at least a towel the size of a bath towel. It gets hot and painful. I wanted to go to the net area, but since no one else went, it was difficult to get there, so unfortunately, I didn't go. Once we got out to sea, the waves were calm, so I didn't get wet, but as we approached the shallow area, the waves got higher, and my feet got a bit wet. The view of the horizon, the streets of Waikiki, and Diamond Head was amazing! I also saw a sea turtle. It was a great experience. I heard that the evening departure allows you to see the sunset, so I would like to try that next time!

現地日本人もオススメしてくれたカマタラン。
集合時間より早くついたためワイキキビーチで一泳ぎ。
そしていよいよ乗船！
キレイな海、景色、心地よい風が吹きとても気持ちよかったです。
ただ、日差しが強いので上着、もしくはバスタオルぐらいの大きさのタオルはあったほうがいいと思います。あつくて痛いです。
ネットのところに行きたかったのですが誰も行かず行きづらかったので残念ながら行きませんでした。沖にでると波も静かなので濡れることはなかったですが浅瀬に近づくと波が高くなり足元は少々濡れました。
水平線やワイキキの街並み、ダイヤモンドヘッドを一望でき景色が最高でしたね！
ウミガメも見れました。
とてもいい体験が出来ました。
夕方出発はサンセットが見れるそうで今度は夕方にのってみたいと思います！

It was my first time surfing, and I was able to stand up!! I was able to communicate well enough with my instructor, Seth, despite my limited English. The staff was also fun and entertaining. My husband and I participated together, and we even challenged ourselves to ride the waves while holding hands. I have a feeling I'm going to get hooked on surfing!! I had a very satisfying time.

初めてのサーフィンでしたが立つことが出来ました！！先生のSethとは私の拙い英語でしたが充分コミュニケーションを取ることができました。
スタッフもノリがよく面白かったです。夫婦での参加でしたが、2人で同時に波に乗り手をつなぐなんてことにも挑戦しました。サーフィンにはまりそうな予感です！！
とても満足な時間を過ごすことができました。

I wasn't sure where the pickup location was, and I almost thought I wouldn't be able to board, but I managed to get on safely and off we went! However, there were no other Japanese people boarding one after another, and in the end, we were the only Japanese.

I waited my turn with a racing heart, and then we took off—150 meters! It felt really good. It felt so good that I could have slept in the air (laughs). I think we flew longer than I expected. In the end, we splashed down into the sea (laughs). Of course, I bought the photos!

お迎え場所がよく分からず、危うく乗れないと思いましたが、無事に乗り込みいざ出発♪ﾃﾞﾓ、次々乗り込み方々に日本人はいなくて、結局日本人は私達だけでした。
ドキドキしながら順番を待ち、飛んじゃいました～150メートル
かなり気持ち良いです。
気持ち良すぎて、空で寝れます(笑)
思ったより長く飛んでたと思います。
最後にボチャンと海に落ちました(笑)
写真はもちろん買いました♪
