All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

素晴らしいレッスンをありがとうございました。またね、イザベラ！！

Thank you for very nice lesson. See you Isabella!!

Excellent, these guys were fantastic. I would highly recommend.

I challenged myself to try parasailing (150M) that I had always wanted to do during my trip with my husband. I was worried because I'm not good at English, but both the transportation and activity staff were able to communicate in broken English, which made me feel at ease.

We participated at 4:00 PM, and besides us, there was only one other couple, so there were just four of us in total. We had a great time together. Once we were flying, it felt like it was over in an instant, and it was so refreshing. I want to participate again!

As everyone mentions in their reviews, they take photos for $30 (in our case, 107 pictures). They were taken beautifully, and I was very satisfied.

They also asked for tips, but everyone was so nice that I was happy to give them. I highly recommend this experience!

主人との旅行でずっとやってみたかったパラセイリング(150M)に挑戦。英語が苦手なので心配でしたが、送迎・アクティビティスタッフともにカタコト英語にも対応してくれて安心できました。
16：00からの参加で、私たちの他はもう1組のご夫婦の4人だけ。4人でしっかり楽しみました。飛んでからはあっという間でとても気持ちよかったです。また参加したい！
皆さんが口コミで書いているとおり、30ドルで写真を撮ってくれます。(私たちの場合は107枚)。すごくキレイに撮っていただき、大満足でした。
チップもお願いされましたが、みんないい方だったので気持ちよくお渡しできました。本当にオススメです。

We had a great time celebrating a birthday with a tandem parasail. The staff on board were helpful and professional, the price was right and everyone was polite. We even saw whales as a bonus!

I floated up and enjoyed the breathtaking view without feeling much height above the sea. When the boat changed direction or speed, it swayed like a swing, which was quite scary. My daughter, who was screaming in fear up in the air, was very pleased after getting down, saying it was scary but fun. I think it was a great experience. The photos taken were mostly blurry, but they became a nice memory.

ふわっーと浮き上がり、海の上のせいか高さもさほど感じずに絶景を楽しめました。ボートの向きが変わるとき、速度が変わるときにブランコのように揺れたときは、かなり怖かったですね。
上空では、怖いと叫んでいた娘も降りてからは、怖いけど楽しかったとご満悦でした。良い経験をしたと思います。採ってもらった写真は、ピンぼけが多かったですが、記念になりました。

Had a great time. We go to Hawaii once a year, and have gone on almost every tour. The best thing about this was the tremendous flexibility to do and swap activities. Not a "tourist" tour. Little fubar on scheduling, but the drive Harry made up for that. Time with Harry was as good or better than seeing the falls!!

It was my first experience. It was very fun. They take photos for $30. I usually don't like high places, but it felt good rather than scary.

初めての体験でした。とてもたのしかったです。写真を＄３０で撮ってくれます。高いところが駄目な私でしたが、怖いというより気持ちが良かったです。

At my daughter's request, our family of four had our first experience. Before going up into the sky, I was nervous, but a couple from the mainland U.S. who had just landed shared their excitement and talked about how wonderful it was. We actually experienced it and thoroughly enjoyed the fun. Any fear I had vanished in an instant. We went up to the lowest height of 45 meters, but we were able to enjoy it enough; it would have been even more fun if it had been higher.

娘のリクエストにより家族4人で初体験しました。
空に上がる前は緊張していましたが、アメリカ本土のLAから参加されていたカップルが降りて来て大興奮でその素晴らしさをお話し下さり、実際体験しその楽しさを満喫出来ました。恐怖心は一瞬に吹き飛びました。
一番低い45Mでしたが、十分楽しめることが出来ましたが、もっと高ければ更に楽しかったことでしょう。

I participated with my brother and two cousins who are in elementary and middle school.

First, the pickup location was vague, which caused the bus to not arrive on time, and we ended up having to take a taxi. Although it was supposed to be a trolley pickup, we were not informed that it would be a van on the day of the event.

The parasailing itself was well explained, and it was enjoyable for the brief 2-3 minutes we were in the air, but the time spent bouncing around in the small boat was longer, and both my cousin and I ended up feeling sick. I wouldn't recommend this for those who are prone to motion sickness.

The response regarding the taxi fare was prompt, which was reassuring, but after booking several other tours, I realized there are issues with the transportation, so I hope they can improve this.

兄と従姉妹の小、中学生と4人で参加しました。
先ず、ピックアップ場所がアバウトだったため、定刻にバスが来なかったこともあり、右往左往してしまい、タクシーで行くはめになりました。
トロリーでお迎えとあったのに、当日はバンになっていたことの連絡もありませんでした。
パラセーリング自体はきちんと説明されて、ほんの2、3分だったので楽しめたのですが、空中散歩している時間より、小型ボートに揺られている時間の方が長く、私も従姉妹も気分が悪くなってしまいました。
船酔いする人にはオススメ出来ません。
タクシー代についての対応は早かったので、安心しましたが、他のツアーも幾つも頼んでわかったことは、送迎に難点があると思ったので、是非改善して欲しいです。

The kayaking on the Wailua River was a fun experience. The trekking from where we got off the kayak to the waterfall was also quite nice.

ワイルア川のカヤックは楽しいけいけんでした。カヤックを降りてから滝までのトレッキングもなかなか良かった。

Unfortunately, the weather was bad, and we couldn't go ashore to have a snack, but the two guides were very kind, and we had a great time. I participated with a 12-year-old boy. It was my first time snorkeling, but they explained how to do it and kept an eye on us while we were playing, which made me feel safe. I would love to participate again!

あいにく天気が悪く、上陸しておやつを食べることはできませんでしたが、ガイドのお二人が、とても親切で気持ちよく遊ぶことができました。12歳の男の子と一緒に参加しました。初めてシュノーケリングをしましたが、やり方を説明してくださったし、遊んでいる間も見守ってくださり、安心感がありました。また参加したいです！

It was the best experience with just the right amount of tension and excitement. Just as the reviews said, it felt like a world for just the two of us up in the sky. You can purchase the photos taken, and while they feel a bit pricey, they turned out beautifully, and I am very satisfied. Next time, I want to challenge myself to over 120 meters.

適度な緊張感と、興奮で最高の体験でした。
口コミ通り、上空では2人だけの世界でした。
写真を撮影したものを購入することが出来ますが、若干高く感じるのですが、写真はとても素敵に撮れていて、大変満足です。
今度は120m以上にチャレンジしてみたいです。

The drivers were so nice and explained the island's history and helped us understand about hawaii.I LOVED IT!! I would recommend the dry snorkel and a life vest if you arent a good swimmer but defiantly the underwater camera because you see amazing fishes

The moment of soaring into the sky is very thrilling, but after you take off, it's amazing. The sky and sea are so beautiful, and it felt like I was on a swing. I even got to see whales! The staff was very cheerful and took great photos. This is definitely something you should purchase. The angle of the parasailing, the sky, the airplane, and Diamond Head was fantastic. My 63-year-old mother was able to join too!

舞い上がる瞬間がとてもドキドキしますが、空に舞い上がった後はサイコーです。
空と海がとてもきれいで、ブランコに乗っている気分でした。
くじらも見れましたよ！
スタッフはとても陽気で、写真もばっちり撮ってくれました。絶対に購入するべきです。
パラセイルと、空、飛行機、ダイヤモンドヘッドのアングルは最高でした。
63歳の母親も参加できましたよ！！

My two daughters experienced it. After the experience, both were extremely excited and impressed. The photos taken by the crew clearly convey how much fun it was. This was our fourth trip to Hawaii, but it was their first time parasailing, and they said they wish they had done it earlier because it was so much fun. They are already eager to do it again next year, and my wife and I are being encouraged to join them. I have some concerns about seasickness and heights, but looking at the fun photos makes me think I might want to try it too. I appreciate your assistance with that.

However, regarding the tip for the crew, it's a bit unclear, so I would appreciate it if the cost could be included in the pricing.

娘２人が体験しました。体験後、２人とも 大興奮・大感激でした。クルーに撮ってもらった写真でも その面白さが充分に伝わってきます。今回は４回目のハワイですがパラセイルは初めての体験でしたが、こんなに楽しいなら前からやれば良かったと云っています。来年も やる気満々で、私と妻も進められています。船酔いと高所に若干不安がありますが、楽しそうな写真を見ていると ちょっと体験してみようかと思っています。その節はよろしく。
ただクルー（？）に対してのチップに関してはわかりづらいので、できれば料金の中に組み込んで費用設定してもらえるとありがたいのですが!?

The other optional activities were mostly for Japanese people, but here, most participants were Western couples, with only us and one other Japanese couple. However, the guide explained everything in both English and Japanese (though there was a bit of a broken quality to the Japanese), so it was not a problem. For $30, you can have photos taken of you and your partner on the boat, as well as pictures of Diamond Head, and you'll receive an SD card with those memories after returning. I highly recommend choosing the course that goes to the highest point for parasailing, as it allows you to enjoy the views and the thrill for a longer time! However, two Western couples did get seasick; we were fine because the bus driver gave us gum to chew before boarding. The boat does rock, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.

他のオプショナルは日本人だけでしたが、こちらは欧米のカップルがほとんどで日本人はうちともう一組だけでした。ですが、ガイドの方は英語と日本語で（・・少しカタコト感はありましたが；）説明してくれたので問題なし、30ドル払えば上る前から戻るところまで、また船上の二人やダイヤモンドヘッドの写真を撮ってくれてSDカードを貰えるので戻った後も思い出の写真が残せます。パラセイリングは是非一番高いところまで上れるコースにしておくと長く空の景色やハラハラを楽しめます！ただ、欧米カップル2組は船酔いしてはいてました；私たちは船に乗る前にバスの運転手さんがガムをくれて噛んでいたので大丈夫でした。船は・・・揺れますからね～酔いやすい方は要注意です。

You can enjoy parasailing easily! It felt like the flight time was longer than when I did parasailing in another country. The photo data for sale seems a bit expensive, but overall, it's reasonably enjoyable, so I recommend it.

気軽にパラセイリングが楽しめます！以前他の国でパラセイリングをしたときよりも、飛行時間が長かったように感じました。写真データの販売はちょっと高い気もしますが、全体的にリーズナブルに楽しめますのでオススメです。

This was my third time, but the other three were first-timers. A few years ago, I started and was so impressed that I recommended it to everyone this time and participated. There were some people who weren't very comfortable with heights, but they were all very satisfied afterward. The view from above is amazing!

自分は３回目でしたが　他の3人は初めてでした
数年前に始めてして大感激したので　今回もみんなにすすめて
参加しました
高いところが　あまり得意でない人もいたのですが
終わった後は大満足していました
空から見る景色は最高です

At first, it's fun just to watch others fly, but as the number of participants increases, the waiting time gets longer, which might lead to boredom. The boat that operates the parachute also sways quite a bit, so those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious. Sunglasses are a must due to the strong sunlight.

最初は他人が飛んでいるのを見ているだけでも楽しいのですが、参加人数が多いほど待ち時間も長くなっていき、飽きてくるかもしれません。
パラシュートを操縦するボートも結構揺れるので、船酔いしやすい方は注意した方がいいと思います。
日差しが強いのでサングラス必須です。

The catamaran ride, which was hard to get on, was exhilarating as we rode over the rough waves, splashing water everywhere due to the strong winds. The drinks were free-flowing. I was satisfied to see two turtles floating in the sea and even spotted a whale's tail.

I was the only Japanese participant, but I wonder if there were any Japanese-speaking staff. It was a bit difficult to join in on the lively atmosphere around me; without good English skills and social abilities, it can be challenging to get into the Spectra Net.

The scenery of Waikiki and the ocean was very beautiful, and I would love to participate again.

なかなか乗れないカタマラン、風が強かったので荒波に乗りあげ水しぶきをあげて走るのは爽快でした。
飲み物はフリードリンクです。
海に浮いているカメを2匹にクジラの尾も見られて満足でした。

日本人の参加は私だけでしたが日本語スタッフはいたのでしょうか？
ちょっと周りの上げ気味のノリに参加しにくいというか、
英語力と社交力がないとスペクトラ・ネットには入りづらいですね。

ワイキキと海の風景もとても美しく、また参加したいです。

This was my fourth time parasailing....was higher than others I have done and a little rougher due to the ocean conditions but was great. The crew was wonderful and I enjoyed it thouroughly. I have vowed to parasail with each of my seven children during my life time...3 down , 4 more to go!!!

My husband and I did this on our honeymoon at the end of Jan, It was so much fun, we both had a blast, made us want to get our snorkling gear and go spend more time in the water, but snuba diving is way better. A definite must do when on vacation in Hawaii.

The staff was great for a repeat diver and a fairly new diver. Super helpful and careful. Boat driver helpful and funny. Felt a bit rushed in between dives due to traffic. The shipwreck was fantastic! Cant wait to go back and dive with them again.

In my case, during winter, I usually enjoy water activities in places like Cebu, so honestly, this tour was disappointing.

The snorkeling was not enjoyable due to strong waves and the beach wasn't very clean, so I didn't feel like doing it...

The sea kayaking to the uninhabited island was also a complete letdown; the ocean was not what I expected, and during this time of year, Oahu is cold, making water activities entirely disappointing.

私の場合、冬はセブ島などで海遊びしているので、正直今回のツア−は期待外れでした＞＜

シュノ−ケリングも波風が強く、また余り綺麗でないビ−チではする気になりませんでした・・・・

無人島へのシ−カヤックも海はまったく期待外れで、この時期のオアフ島は寒いし海遊びはまったくの期待外れでした。

My GF and I are getting certified and we took my mother with us for a discover SCUBA dive. Jackie was so patient and really took great care of my mother so my Fiancee and I could have a great time. When we went on the dive with the certified crew, we really felt apart. We will be going back in a number of years to dive with this crew again.

We participated as a family of four: a second-grade girl (21kg), a fourth-grade girl (28kg), a father (quite large), and a mother (of average size). Although the participation conditions stated that participants should be over 7 years old, we were worried about potential weight restrictions. For the jet stream parasailing, my husband and the second grader sat in the front and back, while I and the fourth grader sat side by side.

It felt like riding a high swing, and the view was absolutely amazing, allowing us to see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the ocean side and from a high vantage point. At the end, we were splashed a little in the sea for fun, but the second grader, being in the first pair, didn't know about it and ended up getting water poured over her head, which she said she didn't like.

There was a service to provide photos in digital format for $30, but we declined and took our own pictures and videos.

The most challenging part was on the day of our reservation. We waited for 10 minutes, then 30 minutes, but the pickup car never arrived. When we tried to contact them, we only heard a commercial and couldn't understand what was being said. Eventually, we got help from a staff member at a nearby Quicksilver store who spoke a little Japanese (she kindly made the call for us), and we were able to get a Japanese-speaking staff member on the line. It turned out that the activity was canceled due to mechanical issues with the boat, and they wanted to reschedule. They had contacted the operator, but we received no notification, and the time we spent waiting felt wasted. If they couldn't be reached, they could have at least explained that they weren't coming to the meeting point. Fortunately, we had a day available to reschedule, but if we hadn't, we would have missed out on an activity we were looking forward to.

After rescheduling and changing the time, we found out that the time change hadn't been communicated, and once again, we waited and waited for the pickup that never came... We had to get help from the Quicksilver staff again, who informed us that they were running late. My husband was angry, and I felt the pressure since I was the one who made the reservation (as the mother).

Well, I think these issues were just unfortunate coincidences, and we were very satisfied with the activity, so I definitely recommend it!

私たちは小学校2年生(21kg)女の子、小学校4年生（28kg）女の子、お父さん（かなり大きめ）、お母さん（標準）の4人家族で参加しました。
参加条件に7歳以上と書いてあったものの、体重制限があるかもということで不安でした。このジェットストリームのパラセイルは二人乗りで父と2年生の子が前後並んで乗り、母と4年生の子は横に並んで乗りました。
高いブランコに乗っているような感じで、とっても爽快でワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドを海側から、しかも高い位置から見られるのは何とも言えないくらいいい眺めでした。
最後にお遊びで海にちょっとつけられるのですが、2年生の子のペアは1番だったのでそれを知らなくて海水を頭から浴びたらしく、嫌だったと言っていました。
写真をデータにして渡してくれるサービスがあったのですが
＄30だったので、断り、自分たちのカメラやビデオで撮りました。
一番大変だったのが予約していた日、10分待っても30分待っても迎の車が来ず、連絡してもコマーシャルみたいなのが流れているだけで何を言っているか分からず、結局近くのクイックシルバーのお店の少し日本語のしゃべれるスタッフのお姉さんに変わってもらい（電話も快くかけてくれました）日本語のスタッフを出してもらいました。するとその日はボートの機械トラブルで中止。日を変えて欲しいとのこと。催行者には連絡したとのことですが私たちには何の連絡も入らない、しかもその待っていた時間もかなり無駄になりました。連絡が取れないんだったらその待ち合わせ場所に来てないことを説明してくれてもいいんではないでしょうか。たまたま予定がない日があったから良かったのですが、なければ楽しみにしていたアクティビティも出来ないことになります。日にちを変えてもらって、途中で時間の変更もしたのですが、その時間の変更が伝わっておらず、またまた迎の時間に待っても待っても来ない・・・・またまたクイックシルバーのお姉さんに助けてもらい遅れてくるとのこと。
父は怒るし、これでアクティビティにみんなが満足してくれなかったら予約した私（母）の立場が(>_<)
まあそんなことはたまたまあっただけだと思うので、アクティビティには大満足しましたので、オススメですよ！！！

Had great day. My grandsons and self really enjoyed it. Lots of time to wander around. Sam was great. Very knowledgable .answered lots of questions.really appreciated his friendly attitude.

My husband and I went on this trip as a wedding present from my brother on our honeymoon and we had a blast! It was great to be able to be in a kayak together. The places we saw, and the stories we were told were awesome. There was even a surprise cliff jump! It's a great way to see a beautiful side to the Big Island!

Canoe surfing was a lot of fun! It is like surfing on a canoe. Our 4 yo and 6 yo kids loved it, too. It does take a lot of effort on the adults part so be prepared to paddle. Our guide was excellet. We had some great conversation while waiting for each set to roll in. It was definitely worth the price for this experience. We did show up when originally scheduled, but the waves weren't big enough so they promised to call us when it would be better to come out. As promised they called us the next morning (they offered a whale watch if the waves weren't good enough before we had to leave). We were glad we re-arranged our schedule to do this. We will probably do it again when we go back.

I was a bit scared of the height during my first parasailing experience, but I was able to enjoy the course of just over 100 meters.

The staff explained everything in simple Japanese, which made me feel at ease.

Above all, the view was incredible, as if I was flying in the sky! It was the most exciting and moving activity of our honeymoon trip.

In the tour I used, they offered photo shooting during parasailing for $30. They took about 90 photos, and in the end, I received an SD card after checking the content. It's quite difficult to take good photos with a regular camera, but the staff, who were flying around freely on the boat, took amazing pictures with a telephoto camera. At first, I thought $30 was a bit expensive, but in the end, I was really glad I ordered it. All four groups who were on the boat with me used the photo service.

Next time I go on a trip where I can do marine sports, I definitely want to try parasailing again.

初めてのパラセイリングで、少し高さに怖がっていましたが、100mちょっとのコースで十分に楽しむことができました。

スタッフはかたことの日本語で説明してれるので、安心できます。

何よりまるで空を飛ぶような景色がものすごい！
今回の新婚旅行のアクティビティの中で、一番刺激的で、感動的でした。

私の利用したツアーでは、３０ドルでパラセイリング中の写真撮影をしてくれました。９０枚程の写真で、最終的には内容を確認したうえ、SDカードをもらえます。普通のカメラではなかなか撮影しにくい中、ボートの上で自由に飛び回るスタッフが望遠用のカメラで撮影してくれるので、非常にいい写真がとってもらえます。３０ドルは少々高い？と初めは思いましたが、結果的には頼んでおいて本当に良かったです。
一緒にボートに乗った４組全員が、写真撮影を利用していました。

また、次回マリンスポーツのできる旅行にいった際には、ぜひパラセイリングトライしたいです。
