Hawaii
This was reccommended for all levels. I do not agree. We had several children who were not able to paddle and it made it very hard for the adult in that boat. My parents are in their seventies, the guides were nice enough to pull them. The tour was great my family was not the type of customer that needed to be on this tour. We were allowed out of the kayak to snorkle, a very nice spot, but we had to climb on rocks to take a break. The sea cave was neat but not exactly what I was expecting. We ahd to ask to jump off the cliffs - I am not sure they usually do that although it is in the description. The dolphin and whales were no where to be seen. think there are better snorkling tours available unless you are strong and love to kayak.
However the staff and company was great.
It was windy, but I brought a windbreaker, so I was able to enjoy sailing without feeling cold.
The staff inside were very pleasant, bringing drinks and checking in on us, which made for a great experience.
Along the way, we were able to see dolphins and sea turtles up close, and the hour went by in no time.
風が強かったのですが、ウインドブレイカーを持参したので寒くなることもなくセイリングを楽しめました。
中のスタッフはとても感じが良く、飲みのものを運んでくれたり、声をかけてくれたりして気分良く過ごせました。
途中、イルカや海亀も間近に見ることができ、あっという間の一時間でした。
This was a lesson in English. I mistakenly made a reservation for an English lesson instead of a Japanese one...
The other participants were also foreigners, and I couldn't understand most of the explanations, but it was really fun.
The instructor helped us catch the waves properly. Even though it was my first time, I was able to stand up, and I'm glad I signed up.
Since it was a male instructor, I think he was especially kind to the women (laughs).
They took a lot of photos during surfing, and those who wanted could buy them on a DVD-R for $30. Tips are separate, and there is a tip box after the lesson.
There were two instructors, but the one who said he was from California was particularly very kind and cool.
The rainbow I saw while being rocked by the waves was beautiful and became a wonderful memory.
こちらは英語でのレッスンでした。日本語レッスン希望だったのに違えて予約してしまいました....。
他の参加者も外国人で説明等もほとんど分かりませんでしたが、すごく楽しかったです。
インストラクターがちゃんと波に乗せてくれます。初めてなのに立てたし、申し込んで良かったです。
男性インストラクターなので女性には特に優しいと思います(笑)
サーフィン中の写真もたくさん撮ってくれて、希望者はDVDーRにして30$で買えます。チップは別で終わった後にチップボックスがあります。
インストラクターが2人付きましたが、カルフォルニア出身といっていたインストラクーの方が特にとても優しくてかっこ良くて良かったです。
海に揺られながら見た虹が綺麗で素敵な思い出になりました。
I participated in this for my honeymoon. It was my first time trying kayaking and snorkeling, but I was able to do it after a brief lecture before departure. I'm not good with water to the point where I can't even put my face in, but I swam in the sea for the first time while snorkeling. I saw many tropical fish. The fruit during the break was also incredibly delicious.
新婚旅行で参加しました。カヤック、シュノーケルとも初挑戦でしたが、出発前の簡単なレクチャーで乗れました。
顔もつけられないほど水が苦手ですが、シュノーケルで初めて海で泳ぐことがました。たくさんの熱帯魚が見られましたよ。休憩のフルーツも最高においしかったです。
I participated with a friend. Since we didn't have a car, it was very helpful to have a shuttle service by bus.
We went in March, and although it was a bit chilly with strong winds, the blue sea and sandy beach were amazing. It might have been even better if the weather had been nice. ^^;
友人と二人で参加しました。
車に乗らないので、バスで送迎して貰えるのは
とても助かりました。
3月に行き、風が強く少し肌寒かったのですが、
青い海と砂浜は最高でした。
天気がよかったらもっとよかったかも^^;
I highly recommend it! I usually struggle with group activities, so this was my first time participating in something like this, but the local staff were incredibly friendly and naturally made it fun to learn, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere. On the day of the activity, the wind wasn't too strong, so we paddled to Lanikai Beach and enjoyed the beautiful beach before heading to a deserted island. Lanikai has crystal-clear waters that are breathtaking, fine sand, and we even spotted some sea turtles in the distance... you absolutely have to experience it at least once. In the afternoon, we had some free time, so I rented a bike and rode for about 10 minutes to Kailua Shopping Center. There are many unique shops that you won't find in Ala Moana, and I really enjoyed shopping there.
ぜひオススメします!グループで動くのがニガテなのでこういうアクティビティに参加するのは初めてでしたが、現地スタッフがとにかく自然に楽しそうに親切に教えてくれるので、ほんわかとした雰囲気でのんびり楽しむことができました。当日はあまり風も強くなかったので、ラニカイ・ビーチまでこぎ、美しいビーチを堪能してから、無人島をめざしました。ラニカイはうっとりするほど澄んだ海、サラサラの砂、少し遠くにウミガメの姿も見え・・とにかく一度味わってみてください。午後はフリータイムがあったので、レンタル自転車を10分ほどこぎ、カイルアショッピングセンターへ。アラモアナにはない個性的なお店が多く、買い物も楽しめました。
This was the most fun we had in Hawaii! We snorkeled and jumped off a 20' plus cliff! While snorkeling, about 100 spinner dolphins decided to join us and got close enough some people could touch them! Absolutely awesome!
This was our first experience with "BOB" and it was amazing! Especially for me as I'm a bit paranoid with being underwater and don't like water in my face and can't even handle snorkeling. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it but after the initial nervousness of being submerged, I was able to see all the wonderful sites of colorful fish and sea turtles and my hair didn't even get wet!!! It was amazing!
Paddle surfing was really fun!
At first, I was worried about whether I could stand on the board, but when I cautiously stood up, it felt strange.
It was a bit wobbly and scary where the waves were, but once I got the hang of handling the paddle, it was truly enjoyable!
I want to participate again!
パドルサーフィン、ほんとに楽しかった☆
最初はボードの上に立てるか不安だったけど、恐る恐る立ち上がってみると、不思議な感じがしました。
波があるところはふらふらして怖かったけど、パドルの扱い方とかわかるとほんとに楽しかったです!
また参加したいです!!
It was my first time kayaking, and it was a lot of fun. We sat in a two-person boat, going upstream for about an hour. Then we walked through the jungle, during which the guide taught us various things. We had lunch in front of a waterfall and then returned to where we started by kayak.
I think it's fine to wear a swimsuit underneath with a shirt and shorts. I would recommend avoiding athletic shoes or flip-flops, as the paths in the jungle are quite muddy and your feet will get messy. We rented sports sandals from the tour company for a fee.
Of course, since the guide speaks only English, I think it would be more enjoyable if you understand English.
カヤックは初めてでしたが、とても楽しかったです。
2人乗りのボートに前後で座って、1時間弱ぐらい上流へ行きます。そのごジャングルの中を歩きながら進みますが、その途中でガイドさんが色々なことを教えてくれます。滝の前で昼食を食べその後カヤックで出発したところに戻ります。
服装は水着を中にきてシャツと短パンでOKだと思います。
運動靴やビーチサンダルは止めておいたほうが良いと思います。ジャングルの中はかなりの泥道で足がぐちゃぐちゃになります。私たちは、お金を払ってツアー会社からスポーツサンダルを借りました。
もちろんガイドさんは全て英語の為英語がわかるほうが楽しめると思います。
We have been on three or four other snorkel trips in Hawaii and this is by the far the best. The ship is in excellent condition, and the skipper and crew were friendly and knowledgeable. They made it a wonderful time for all on board! They even stopped during their regular trip to show us spinner dolphins (twice) and an early season whale.
I visited four seas on this trip, but this one was the most beautiful!! The sea was very rough that day, and kayaking was quite challenging. Apparently, it’s usually much clearer and easier. But it was rewarding in its own way (laughs). The set pizza and plate lunch that I shared with my friend were also delicious☆
今回の旅で4つの海に行きましたがこの海が一番綺麗でした!!
この日の海はすごく荒れていてカヤックはとても大変。本来はもっと透明で楽ちんだそうです。その分達成感はありましたけどね(笑)
友人と半々にして食べたセットのピザもプレートランチも美味しかったです☆
The last time I went to Hawaii, I visited Kailua Beach, but that time I only had free time on the beach and ended up with too much time on my hands. This time, I decided to join a kayak tour.
It's a small uninhabited island close to the beach, and the guide spoke in Japanese, which made it quite enjoyable. They also teach you how to paddle a kayak at the beginning, so I think it's a tour that's easy for beginners to join.
前回ハワイに行ったときにもカイルアビーチに行ったのですが、その時は浜辺で自由行動だけだったので、時間を持て余してしまい、今回はカヤックツアー付きにしてみました。
浜辺から近い小さい無人島なのですが、日本語でガイドしてくれて結構楽しかったです。カヤックの漕ぎ方も最初に教えてくれるので初心者の方にも参加しやすいツアーだと思います。
If you love the ocean, you can easily enjoy surfing in Hawaii, a place everyone dreams of.
At the edge of Waikiki Beach, I received kind instruction from wonderful staff.
Of course, I had never surfed before, but I was able to experience riding the waves in Hawaii.
My wife isn't a strong swimmer, but even after I dragged her along, she ended up smiling on the way back.
I'm so moved to have fulfilled a long-time dream.
海好きの方なら誰もが憧れたハワイでサーフィンが気軽に楽しめます(^o^)
ワイキキビーチの外れで素敵なスタッフの方に親切に教えていただいて
もちろんサーフィンなんかやった事ない僕がハワイで波に乗る経験が出来ました(^o^)
奥さんはあんまり泳げないのですが無理矢理誘っても最後は笑顔で帰れて
長年の夢叶えられて感動してます
This is a Fantastic way to spend 1/2 of a day. The crew and Captain couldn't have been any nicer or more informative. The ride out to the dive/snorkeling site was fairly short, and the snorkeling was awesome. My husband really enjoyed the snubbing, I tried, but was unable to actually do it, the instructor tried her best to help me, but after several attempts I decided to stick with the snorkeling, which worked for me, because as I stated, it was awesome. We saw lots of beautiful fish. The second site they took us to had several turtles, and even more beautiful fish the closer you ventured into the coral. They provided a nice lunch, and continental breakfast. I had booked this activity a month or so in advance, and was really looking forward to it...I was not disappointed.
The staff of Aqua Adventures were professional, friendly, and very confidence inspiring. We felt completely safe and able to enjoy ourselves without any worries. From the moment we checked in, they set a tone of relaxation and fun that carried through to the very end. Oh, and the Maitais were amazing :)
Had a lot of fun
This was super fun! Never done anything like it before. thought I was gonna be so bad at it. But the staff was so helpful and walked me through it and was real encouraging. ended up havin a great time
My husband and I were island-hopping on our honeymoon when we participated in the Zipline Safari with Hiking and Kayaking in Kauai. One of our guides said he felt it was his job to make us fall in love with his island, and this tour certainly helped us do that. The price was fair for all of the inclusions of the tour, and the lunch provided was more than enough food. We had never been kayaking, but the river was very smooth and calm, so we were able to keep up and didn't have any issues. The hikes, swimming spots, stories, and "history lessons" were amazing. I have never seen such a beautiful forest. The Zipline was awesome as well and our guides took every safety precaution necessary to make us feel at ease. I would definitely recommend this activity for anyone looking for a more physical adventure. Be sure to wear a bathing suit, sunscreen, and bring hiking sandals or water socks because you should definitely get wet!
We were able to participate on a wonderful day with great weather. I thought kayaking might be tough for us as a couple in our fifties, but we only felt a bit tired in our arms and managed to paddle all the way to the island offshore. Along the way, a sea turtle came very close to our kayak, which was really lucky. It will be a lifelong memory.
素晴らしい天気の日に参加できました。
カヤックは、50過ぎの私達夫婦にはきついかなーと思っていましたが、
多少腕が疲れたと言う程度で、沖の島まで漕ぎ着けられました。
途中、うみがめがカヤックのすぐ近くまで来たりして、とてもラッキーでした。一生の思い出になります。
It was very expensive and thrilling. It was fun and scary, and the view from above the sea was amazing. The guide was cheerful, and we were able to enjoy ourselves.
とても高くてスリル満点。楽しかったのと、怖かったのとで海の上から見る最高の景色も抜群。ガイドも陽気で楽しむ事ができました。
Since I was a beginner in stand-up paddle surfing, I joined a tour with lessons. While the explanations were clear, there wasn't much to remember, so I thought it might have been better to study the technique on my own beforehand and join a tour without lessons. But it was fun!
スタンダップ・パドル・サーフィン初心者だったので、レッスン付きのツアーへ参加しました。
わかりやすく説明していただいたのは良いのですが、あまり覚える事は少ないので、これなら事前に独学でやり方を勉強し、レッスン無しのツアーへ参加した方が良かったかなと思いました。
でも楽しかったです。
You can enjoy Diamond Head and the deep blue sea with a different atmosphere than usual. However, those who are prone to seasickness definitely need to bring motion sickness medication.
ダイヤモンドヘッドや真っ青な海がいつもとは違った雰囲気で楽しめます。
ただ、船酔いする方は酔い止め薬が必ず必要です。
I used this for my honeymoon.
I added the option to take photos for $30.
I was able to see wild dolphins from above and had a great time.
I paid $50 for the tip and the photo option.
ハネムーンで利用させてもらいました。
30ドルで写真をとってもらうオプションを追加しました。
上空から野生のイルカも見えて、楽しむことが出来ました。
チップと写真オプションで50ドル払いました。
It was my first experience with parasailing, and I had a great time. Thank you!
パラセイル初体験でしたが、非常に楽しめました。
ありがとうございました。
I had a great time for three and a half hours at Mitchilli. I thought it was just a sea kayaking activity, but it included a lava rock bath, encounters with dolphins, and even a dive from a 7-meter cliff, which made it incredibly fun. The two staff members were warm and attentive, taking care of us and even sending us photos afterward. I had so much fun for this price! I want to do it again next time I come! Highly recommended! 🎶
3時間半、ミッチッリ楽しめました。
ただのシーカヤックのアクティビティかと思いきや、溶岩の岩盤浴あり、イルカとの遭遇あり、そして7メートルの崖からのダイブありで思いっきり楽しめました。スタッフのお二人も温かい対応で、細やかに世話してもらい、写真まで送ってくれるというアフターケアまでバッチリ。このお値段でこれでもかというくらい楽しめました。次に来たらまたやりたい!超おすすめ♬
We Took This Snorkeling Trip Over The Molokini Crater Because We Wanted Something Different And Less Crowded. Well This Trip Was Right On The Nose. Our Guide Peter Was AWESOME. He Was Very People Friendly And Knowledgable About The Things He Showed Us And Talked About, It Was Nice To Not Be Sitting On An Over Crowded Boat But Instead In A Kayak With A Group Of 7 Other People. 4 Kayaks Total. We Went To 2 Different Snorkel Sites And Were Out On The Water For A Total Of About 3 Hours Or So.We Saw MANY Turtles And Lots Of Different Fish, Peter Even Showed Us An Octopus And Let Us Hold And Touch It. My Husband And I Really Enjoyed Ourselves On This Trip And Would Totally Recommend It To Anyone Thats Wanting Something Less Crowded. Sorry I Dont Have Any Photos, Were Still Here In Hawaii!
This was my second time kayaking, but it was my first experience with sea kayaking. The weather was great, and the view of Hawaii Island from the sea was different from what you see from land. Paddling through the vast, deep blue ocean using only our own strength was a bit challenging for the two of us girls, but feeling the waves and wind made it a wonderful experience, reminding us that we are part of nature.
I communicated with the staff in English. However, they were very kind and spoke slowly with simple words or even in broken Japanese for my friend who doesn't speak English. While a typical tour aimed at Japanese tourists, which prioritizes safety and has everything planned out, might be nice, if you want to fully embrace the adventure on Hawaii Island, I absolutely recommend this!
If you plan to drive there yourself, I recommend checking the location in detail on Google Maps. The parking lot is a bit off the road and can be quite hard to find.
I definitely want to participate in more adventure-filled tours like this again!
カヤックは今回2回目でしたが、シーカヤックは初めての体験でした。
天気も良く、海からのハワイ島は陸から見るのとは違う景色でした。
真っ青などこまでも広い海を、船などではなく自分たちの力だけで漕いで行くのは女子二人ではちょっと大変でしたが、波や風を感じながら行くのは人間も自然の一部であるということを感じられて素晴らしい経験でした。
スタッフと私は英語での会話でした。でも英語ができない友人にはゆっくり簡単な単語や、カタコトでも日本語で話してくれますし、とっても親切に対応して頂きました。
よくある日本人向けのツアーのように全て決められて安全面など重視のツアーもいいかも知れませんが、せっかくのハワイ島。とことんアドベンチャーしてみたいなら絶対にオススメですっ!
ご自身で車を運転して行くなら、場所をgoogle mapなどで詳細まで調べて行くことをお勧めします。駐車場は道からちょっと入ったところなのですが、結構見つけにくいです。
ぜひまたこんなアドベンチャーいっぱいのツアーに参加してみたいです!
It's conveniently located, and after kayaking, you can relax at Kailua or Lanikai Beach, making for a fulfilling day. You can also choose from several places for lunch, which is great.
距離的にもちょうどよく、カヤック後はカイルアやラニカイのビーチでゆっくりできるので、一日満喫できます。ランチもいくつかのお店から選べるので、いいですよ。
Anyway, the wind and waves were strong, and I ended up in the water right from the start... But after about 30 minutes of effort, it was flat island.
I saw rare birds and chicks on the island, went around, and the beautiful sea made my fatigue disappear! (I didn't have the leisure to look around while paddling, haha.)
The return trip was smooth~♪
とにかく風、波が強くて のっけから
海へドボンでした・・・。が
30分強頑張ったら フラットアイランドでした。
島では珍しい鳥や雛をみて一周し
綺麗な海も見て疲れがふっとびましたよ!(漕いでいる時には
まわりを見る余裕がありませんでした笑)
帰りはスイスイでした~♪
