All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I heard about parasailing and thought, "It sounds fun since you go to a high place," so I casually signed up. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations before going. However, once I actually did it, I was amazed! It was incredibly fun!!

Being up so high and having the stunning view of Hawaii stretching to the horizon was exhilarating! I definitely recommend this to anyone who hasn't tried it yet.

However, the boat sways a lot, so seasickness is a must... Don't forget to bring motion sickness medication.

パラセイリングと聞いて「高い所に行くから楽しそうだな~」と気軽に申し込んでみたものの、行く前まではあまり期待大ではなかったのが正直なところです。しかし実際にやってみて感動！めちゃくちゃ楽しいです！！
こんなに高い所に生身で上がれて、かつ景色が抜群にいいハワイが水平線まで見渡せるという状況に興奮しっぱなし！！
これは間違いなくまだやったことない人にはお勧めです。

しかし、船がとても揺れるので、船酔いは必須。。酔い止め薬は忘れずに。

A very nice activity for those who tire of the crowds in Waikiki. A wish list item would be a shuttle to Lanakai. That is one of the best beaches in Hawaii, but is a good 25 minute walk from the shop. But, also have Kailua Beach (sp?) very nearby, which is almost just as good. The staff was great and shared numerous insights about both the activity and the history of the area. We did the short tour, which took us to the bird sanctuary island. A pretty location with great picture opportunities. We will book this again next visit and maybe do the longer tour. A nice workout, but nothing too strenuous and perfect for novice kayakers like us. Decent food and snack options nearby and overall a fun way to spend an afternoon. Check it out!!

had no idea you could actually surf on the big island! but you can! and I did! ha!

only having been surfing a few times, those instructors had their work cut out for them! but they were really patient and encouraging, and yessir I got up on that board and rode a few! yeee haw!

check this lesson out!

I have taken surf lessons before on other islands and with other surfing school. Goofy Foot is without a doubt the best instructions I have ever had. I was able to stand up and surf after 2 runs. My boys (10 & 6) caught on even faster. I'd recommend private lessons for couples and group of friends. You'll get more surfing time with private lessons. I would only go back and do intermediate lessons with these guys.

Recently my buddies and I were on business in Hawaii and needed a break from work. We had the day off and decided to try this kayak thing out. It was awesome in every way.

A group of guys, we always like to be active and this provided us with the intensity we needed, and the sites were gorgeous and the guide was cool too.

Every guy who went agreed with me, this tour was the bomb.

This was a repeat activity for us so obviously we like it before. It is surprisingly peaceful once you are up in the air and the views are spectacular. I like to stick my arms out a la Superman; I figure this is the closest I'll ever get to feeling like I'm flying. The only negative is my wife didn't care for it the last time, so she just went as an observer (rides in the boat but doesn't parasail). She loves the boat ride so that works for her, but the crew doesn't let anyone go up solo so if you don't have a partner, you end up going up with some stranger. The crew is good at what they do and are very safety conscious.

I participated with my husband’s parents and our family of three. Since there were three of us, I thought we would split into two and one, but we were able to ride together as a group of three. My fifth-grade daughter was scared, but it seems she had a lot of fun. The view from high up was amazing, and we were moved to see all of Waikiki. My husband’s parents, who are celebrating their 60th birthday, were also very happy. For $25, we had about 260 photos taken with 2GB of storage. They turned out really well, and I’m glad we bought them. Since it was for five people, I think we got a particularly large number of photos. While we were on the boat, we also encountered a turtle. We were able to see a ray dancing around as well. It was a lot of fun.

主人の両親と家族３人で参加しました。
３人だったので、２人と１人になるのかと思っていましたが３人で一緒に乗らせてもらいました。
５年生の娘は怖がっていましたが、とても楽しかったみたいです。とても高くワイキキが一望出来て感動でした。
還暦の主人のご両親も、すごく喜んでいました。
２５ドルで、２ＧＢに写真を２６０枚ほど撮っていただきました。とてもよく撮れていて、買ってよかったです。
５人分だったので、特に枚数が多かったと思います。
船に乗っているときに、亀にも遭遇しました。
エイもくるくる踊っている所も見ることが出来ました。
とても、楽しかったです。

The cave was a bit disappointing. It was so small that we only paddled in 3 feet and turned around.
We actually snorkeled in a bay with cliffs. You were able to climb up and jump off a 30 foot cliff.

They had great snacks up on the cliff: fresh pinapple, cookies, chocolate, cheese and drinks.

The staff was very laid back. We had 3 tour guides for our trip that seemed to not stress about anything. We had one couple in our group that paddled away from the main group and the staff didn't seem concerned about it.

This tour gets an enthusiastic YES from me! And my boyfriend agrees. We both had a great time. We are outdoor enthusiasts, so we wanted to stay in nature out and doing activities while here in Hawaii, so this was just right for us.

I like especially how the trip was mixed in that we got to paddle along the river in a kayak, and then mix it up a bit with a nature walk...kept things interesting and allowed different muscles to rest.

Really good time, we both had a lot of fun.

Had a great time. The employees were awesome. We expected to see more colorful fish, but we didn't. The experience with the Snuba was great, though.

My girl and I went on this. Wasn't sure what to expect with canoe surfing at all. I am a surfer, but it is a whole different thing! We had a blast, and would definitely recommend it to others!

I have to admit I was pretty nervous about my first experience. I am from the mainland, born and raised, and really haven't spent much of any time in waters other than YMCA swimming pools!

But from the minute I got there the guide was so friendly and welcoming. As shy as I am, I felt completely comfortable and at ease. THIS in itself made the trip for me.

But then we got in the cove, and oh my gosh! The number of fish and ocean critters we saw were amazing! A whole new world was opened up to me, and I LOVE it! Go on this tour, for sure!

The kayak/snorkeling adventure was a lot of fun. I was prepared to kayak, but it was still a LOT of work. In total, you end up kayaking for close to two hours. Then we snorkeled for close to an hour or more. Would NOT recommend if you cannot kayak for that long or if you have small kids that cannot help paddle. Just be prepared.

The guides were nice and kept pace in the front with the leaders and in the rear with the slowest of the group. No one was left behind, which was nice. However, at the front of the group, we did do a lot of waiting for others. We went to a few sea caves and then went to a spot to snorkel and have snacks. The snacks were nice, the fresh pineapple was the best by far!

I did not find anything unique about this tour though. I felt like the tour guides have given the same "WOW you guys seem adventerous, should we take them here....or not?" talk a thousand times. Was kind of corny. But the activity was exactly as described and both my husband and I

It was fun and felt like a resort, but since six groups were boarding, we were swaying for over an hour, and the seasickness was intense. Almost everyone got sick. Moreover, we were the sixth group out of six, and when we took off, I felt nauseous and nervous, so my condition was at its worst.

However, once we actually took off, it felt really good, and there was absolutely no fear, so my boyfriend, who has a fear of heights, seemed to enjoy it. But whether we actually flew to the specified height, I couldn't tell at all from a layman's perspective! (laughs)

At the end, we bought the photos taken by the instructor, but they didn't give us our change back. Even though we gave a tip separately...

リゾート気分で楽しいのですが、
6組が乗り込むので1時間以上揺られるため、
船酔いが半端ないです。
ほとんど全員が酔ってました。
しかも私達は6組中の6番目で、
飛ぶときには気持ち悪さと緊張で、
もうコンディションは最悪でした。

ただ実際に飛んでみるととても気持ちよく、
怖さなどもまったくないので、
高所恐怖症の彼氏も楽しそうでした。
でも指定の高さまで飛ばしてくれていたかは、
素人目ではまったく分かりません！笑

最後にインストラクターの方が撮ってくれた写真を買うのですが、
お釣りを返してくれませんでした。
チップも別で渡したのに・・・

I had a very enjoyable time.
They also speak Japanese (one of the two staff members is Japanese, and the other is fluent in Japanese), and the staff's service was excellent.
If you're going to do sea kayaking in Hawaii, I highly recommend it.

大変楽しい一時を過ごすことができました。
日本語も通じますし（スタッフ二人のうち、一人は日本人ですし、もう一人は日本語ペラペラの方です。）、スタッフの方の対応がとてもよかったです。
ハワイでシー・カヤックをするなら、大変おススメです。

I rode with my husband, daughter, and grandchildren. I was very scared before getting on, but after we went up, it felt great, and the view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sea was wonderful. The staff's response was also enjoyable, making it a great memory.

主人と娘や孫と乗りました。乗る前はとても怖かったですが、上がった後はとても気持ち良く、海からワイキキの浜とダイヤモンドヘッドが臨めて素晴らしかったです。スタッフの対応も楽しく良い思い出になりました。

We participated as a couple and chose this tour because it offers longer free time compared to other tours, along with a good price and lockers. I had been to Kailua once before, but this time I wanted to visit "Boots & Kimo's," famous for its pancakes, and hoped to explore Kailua Town as well.

After arriving in Kailua, I debated whether to bike or walk, and ultimately decided to walk to Boots & Kimo's, which took about 20 minutes. I got pancakes to-go and enjoyed them for breakfast on the beach, and they were incredibly delicious!

Kailua has such beautiful waters! Waikiki is nice too, but coming here feels completely different. On the day we participated, there were many small waves, which didn't seem ideal for boogie boarding, but my husband was able to see a turtle while swimming. You can also rent snorkeling gear, so I think it's good to check the wave conditions before deciding.

After spending about an hour in Kailua, we rented bikes (Kailua Sailboards & Kayaks offers rentals for tour participants at around $11 each) and headed to the neighboring Lanikai Beach. Lanikai Beach has a milky emerald sea! The beauty of the ocean alone lifts your spirits. The last time I walked to Lanikai Beach, I was exhausted, so I recommend biking instead.

For lunch, we could choose between a boxed lunch or pizza, and I opted for the pizza recommended by the staff. I was surprised at how big it was!

The four hours flew by. With the long free time, we could visit the town and Lanikai, making it a great option for repeat visitors. There are Japanese staff members, and the presence of lockers, restrooms, and changing rooms adds to the overall sense of security, making it a very good experience.

夫婦で参加しましたが、自由時間が他のツアーよりも長い＆価格＆ロッカー付きということでこちらのツアーに決めました。
以前にも１度カイルアにいったことがありましたが、今回はパンケーキが有名な「ブーツアンドキモズ」にも行ってみたくカイルアタウンにもいけたらなと思っていました。

カイルアに到着後自転車か徒歩か悩んだ末、徒歩でブーツアンドキモズへ行ってみましたが、歩いても20分くらいでした。
パンケーキをTOGOしてビーチで朝食にいただきましたがすごく美味しかったです！！

カイルアはとても綺麗な海です！ワイキキもきれいだけど、こちらに来ると、全然ちがうな~と感じました。
参加した日は小さい波が沢山くるような感じで、ブギーボードはあまり適してなかったように感じましたが、旦那さんは普通に泳いでいたら亀をみれたようです。シュノーケルのセットもレンタルもできるので、波の状態を見てきめるのも良いと思います。
１時間ほどカイルアにいてから、レンタル自転車（カイルアセイルボード＆カヤックで、ツアー参加者は１台１１ドルくらいで借りれました）を借りて隣のラニカイビーチに行ってきました。
ラニカイビーチのほうが、ミルキーエメラルド！な海です。海が美しくてそれだけでテンションがあがります↑
ラニカイビーチまで、以前行ったときは歩いたのですがヘトヘトになってしまったので、自転車のほうがおすすめです。

ランチはボックスランチかピザが選べましたが、担当の方がお勧めしてくれたピザをチョイス。すごくおおきくてびっくり！！

あっという間の４時間でした。
フリーな時間が長いのでタウンに行ったりラニカイに行ったりもでき、リピーターさんにもお勧めです。
日本人スタッフもいますし、ロッカーやトイレ、更衣室などもしっかりついているので安心度も高くとても良かったです。

When I participated, there were seven foreigners and four Japanese people. There was also an explanation in Japanese, and I had a lot of fun. If you pay an additional $30, the staff over there will take photos with their camera. They gave me the photos along with an SD card. I think it's a good deal since I got 140 photos with a 2GB card. It seems that it’s also possible for three people, as the foreign guests were a couple with a child.

私が参加した時は外国人７人と日本人４人でした。
日本語の説明もあり、かなり楽しめました。
オプションで３０ドル払うと、向こうのスタッフのカメラで写真をとってくれます。
その写真はＳＤカードごとくれました。２Ｇのカード付で１４０枚も写真をとってもらえたので、お得だと思います。
外国の方は夫婦＋子供で３人で飛んでいたので、３人も可能なようです。

In spite of the downpour of rain the day of our kayak adventure (5/28), it was fun and we all had quite a workout. Our guide, Harley, was excellent in every way. Very informative, patient, skilled, and accommodating! It would have been nice if you had ordered more sunshine but then we would have been sunburned; this way, we were just wet!
Thanks again.

What a fun activity! I had a great time, all the staff was super nice and getting to hang out on the barge and go for a swim after the activity was great. I didn't expect it to be as fun as it was, but boy was I wrong. It was my 1st time riding a jet ski and the staff there made sure to go over everything with me until I was comfortable. They even have a camera that they attach to the front of the jet ski that takes a picture every so often of you while your driving. Defintatly a great thing if your a first timer like my self! Check out Sea Breeze, you wont be disappointed!

My wife and I had a great time. Our guide was excellent. She helped us navigate the reefs with great care and also took some great photos of us :)

Excellent activity that we would definitely recommend to others.

It was truly amazing. The instructors were both Japanese and American, and they taught us kindly with great Japanese skills. It was my first time kayaking, and we paddled for a long time towards a cave. Entering the Dragon Cave felt like being inside a dragon's throat, with water gushing out from deep inside, which was really interesting. It was thrilling and absolutely fantastic.

After getting hyped up and anchoring the kayak, we went snorkeling next. There were so many fish, including some I had never seen before. Occasionally, there are also dolphins and mantas. I was moved by the beautiful sea in such a healing situation. I definitely want to recommend this to anyone looking to create great memories through activities. It's an experience you'll want to have again for sure!

本当に最高でした。
インストラクターの方は日本人と、アメリカ人の方でしたが、日本語が上手で優しく教えてくれました。
また、カヤックは初めてでしたが、凄く長く漕ぎ、
洞窟に向かいました。
ドラゴンケイブという洞窟に入ると、本当に
龍の喉の中みたいで、奥で水が噴き出して、本当に面白かったです。迫力もあって、凄く良かったです。
ハイテンションになって、カヤックを停泊させると、
次にシュノーケリングをします。
魚がたくさんいて、見たこともないような魚がいました。
時々、イルカやマンタもいるそうです。
本当に綺麗な海に癒されるシチュエーションで感動しました。いい思い出を、アクティビティで作りたい方に是非お勧めしたいです。またきっと体験したくなるアクティビティです！！！

Great experience!!! Very peaceful while up in the air. Water landing was excellent!

I tried parasailing for the first time with him. At first, the staff told us, "Not this boat! That one!" and it was quite chaotic. In the end, we were able to get on the boat, but it felt a bit invasive.

Parasailing was so much fun! Due to the weather, only two groups, including us, were able to fly... but we were lucky to be the last ones to board the boat despite our packed schedule!

I was nervous until we took off, but the beautiful view of Waikiki and the round rainbow we saw when looking down were amazing!

Since we understood English, we were able to enjoy it, but it might be a bit inconvenient for those who don't speak English. They speak quickly, and I think you might wonder what they are saying.

I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication.

It became a really great memory!☆

彼と一緒に始めてパラセイリングをしてみました。
はじめにスタッフの人に
“こっちの船じゃない！あっちだ！”
と追いやられ、てんやわんやでした。
結局船には乗せてもらえましたがちょっと侵害でした。

パラセイリングはとっても楽しかったです！
お天気の関係で私たちを含めて２組しか飛べませんでしたが…予定びっしりの私たちが一番最後に船に乗り込めてラッキーでした！

飛ぶまではどきどきでしたが、ワイキキのきれいな景色と、なんといっても下を見下ろしたときに見れた丸い虹は最高でした！

英語がわかる私たちだったので楽しめましたが、
英語がわからないとちょっと不便です。
早口ですし、何言ってるのかなぁ？って思ってしまうと思います。

酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。


とっても良い思い出になりました☆

Definitely do the Snuba! We was so many turtles at the second dive site. The first site was great for getting used to Snuba and seeing some interesting fish. One of the kids from the family on board with us saw a shark even!

There were so many turtles at the "cleaning stations" for the second dive site. They were popping up to breathe near the boat before we even got in the water! We got underwater cameras on the boat as well. The diver guiding us through the snuba snapped some closeup pictures of the turtles for us! Such a great experience!

The crew was fantastic. It was a smaller boat, so it wasn't like a cattle call getting on and off the boat. The captain even went out of his way on the way back so that we could see some whales! We got to see 6 whales total on the trip! Great experience! Great crews! I couldn't recommend this particular tour enough. Tremendous value for the money and a crew that was so much fun!

My wife an I are both empty nesters (read that to mean at or near 50.) We've both been travelers and everywhere we go, we schedule events that expose us to the area we are visiting and the people and history of the area.

This event was so much fun and at no time did we feel anything be valued as being in the care and guidance of Dida and Danny.

You will meet people from all corners of the world. Eat a good low fat breakfast the morning of this event. Water is provided, and take advantage of it.

Our personal thanks to this outfitter for giving us a memory of our visit to Kauai we will never forget.

The kayaking trip was good despite the weather. The waves were a little rough and we actually tipped over. Our guide was awesome! He answered all our questions and he stopped to help other people in need. Since the weather didnt cooperate, we werent able to snorkle. They are very understandable and refunded some of our mpney. We highly recommend this to anyone!

On the day of the kayaking, the sea had quite a few waves, but we somehow managed to reach Flat Island. It was about a 500-meter distance. At first, I was a bit intimidated by the strength of the waves and wind, but thanks to the instructor's careful guidance, everyone made it to the island safely. If the sea had been a bit calmer, we might have enjoyed it more leisurely, but the memory of paddling hard to get across is also a good one.

When I returned to the hotel, my abs and legs were sore, making it a bit tough to get up in the morning. Well, that's also a good memory.

カヤック当日の海は、結構波があったのですが、なんとかフラット島までたどり着けました。距離にして500メートルぐらいでした。始めは波と風の強さにちょっとびびってましたが、インストラクターの丁寧な指導で、無事に全員島まで渡れました。もうちょっと海が静かだったら、もっと余裕を持って楽しめたかもしれませんが、必死でパドルして渡った思い出もいい物でした。
ホテルに戻ったら、腹筋と足が筋肉痛で朝起きるのがちょっとしんどかったです。まあ、それも良い思い出です。

On my husband's strong recommendation, we decided to try kayaking as a couple. I honestly wasn't very enthusiastic at first, thinking, "We're definitely going to capsize!!! This is scary!!!" However, once we actually tried it, it was a lot of fun. They taught us carefully, and fortunately, we didn't capsize (laughs). The beach was very beautiful, and it was great for relieving our lack of exercise.

At Flat Island, we were able to see birds in their nests, and we all enjoyed eating a grass that had a strange taste (it was similar to olives and quite delicious). Besides kayaking, we had a great time. By the way, we chose pizza for our set lunch, and it was a fantastic choice! I heard that spinach pizza is quite popular♪

主人の強い希望で、夫婦でカヤックに挑戦しました。
絶対転覆する！！！怖い！！！と、正直最初は乗り気ではなかったのですが、実際にやってみるととても楽しかったです。
丁寧に教えてくれますし、幸い転覆もしませんでした(笑)
ビーチはとても綺麗で、運動不足の解消にもなってよかったです。
フラットアイランドでは巣穴の中にいる鳥も見られたし、不思議な味のする(オリーブに似ていて結構美味しかった)草をみんなで食べたりと、カヤック以外も楽しめました。
ちなみにセットのランチはピザを選択したのですが、大正解でした☆
ほうれん草のピザが人気なんだそうです♪

The last time I went kayaking was at Catalina Island, we didn't even get wet. I was not prepared for this adventure at all. It was a lot of work I could not have done it without my husband. There was a single girl in our group it was her first time and she had a really tough time. It was soooo windy, they don't call it the windward side of the island for fun apparently. The guides were great. Helpful, friendly, and encouraging. But the wind was horrible. Maybe we were really just there on an unusual day but you may want to check and see about other kayaking adventures I hear the secret island one is awesome. The lunch was quite yummy, it was sandwich wraps, soda, chips, water, and granola bars too. The beach we stopped at was pretty and the snorkeling was fun but it was hard to see much. When we made it to the island and got out of our kayaks a huge gust of wind came and the sand hit our legs like a sandblaster! Not cool. When we walked around to the backside of the island
