All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

It was ok. The only problem I had with it was that the with the snorkeling portion we went to a place where they said theres a lot of fish and there werent, not colorful or of much variety. It was fun to jump off a cliff and go swimming. It was only worth the money because they gave unlimited snacks so you kind of got your moneys worth.

We thought we could hike to the waterfall and then go snorkeling. From what I had read that would be a possibility. Both were morning options. He parked centrally then we walked to meet him. For the price I should not have expected to be taken to each destination I suppose, but I did. Still we had a good time and swimming in the waterfall was GREAT

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Capt. Jon and crew. As a sailor, my enjoyment was enhanced by Capt. Jon's tales of building the vessel and sailing itr from the Caribbean to Hawaii. He is justly proud having built a beautiful and very comfortable boat. As hoped, we were able to watch whales within sight of the beautiful Hawaiian coast and also enjoyed some great sailing. Great trip, great boat and great crew and great value!

This was my fifth time going to Hawaii, but it was my first time parasailing. The time spent in the air is about 10 minutes, but the motorboat moves quickly, and it's fun because you can also enjoy whale watching while you're on it. Up in the sky, the movement is slow, so from below, it looks like you're going quite high, but it's not scary at all. There was no shaking either. I want to do it again.

ハワイに行くのは5回目でしたが、パラセイリングは初めてでした。上空にいる時間は10分ぐらいですが、モーターボートは進むのが早く、ホエールウォッチングも兼ねて乗っていられるので楽しいです。空の上では進むのがゆっくりので、下から見ていると結構高くまで上がっているのですが、全く恐くありません。揺れもありませんでした。もう一度やりたいです。

It was an exciting activity that I was nervous to participate in, but I'm glad I did! The time spent in the air felt like it was over in an instant, and it didn't even seem like 10 minutes. It was a surreal experience, especially with airplanes flying nearby! Additionally, on the way to the parasailing point, I even got to see whales! I felt like I got a bonus with the whale watching. I highly recommend it!

どきどきして参加したアクテビティでしたが、参加してよかったです！
空中にいる時間はあっという間で、１０分も無い感じでしたが、
近くを飛行機が飛んでいたり、非日常的な不思議な体験でした！
また、パラセイルのポイントまで行く間にくじらも見れました！！
ホエールウォッチングまで出来てなんだか得した気分です。
ぜひおすすめです。

I've lived in Waikiki for the last 5 years, a block from beach, and watched the para-sailers every day. It was always on my to do list but I never made the time. After finally doing it, I wish I had done it sooner! It's such a fun and beautiful experience. Not only do you get to parasail, you get the boat ride and the view of Waikiki from the ocean! We also saw whales jumping which was really the icing on the cake. Being able to float above Waikiki was scenic and peaceful and a rush, all at the same time. The crew is very talented and a make the experience fun as well. What an amazing feeling as you lift off the back of the boat and gently float up. A must do!

I have lived in Waikiki for the last 5 years and always wanted to Kayak but never tried. My son took me on this great Kayak outing and we really enjoyed ourselves! I'm 46 and was a little concerned about being in good enough shape to handle Kayaking in the ocean, but the Kailua beaches are protected by coral reefs and the waves were never a problem. The area is gorgeous and being able to paddle out to bird sanctuary was a real treat. The folks at Oahu Kayaking are very friendly and knowledgeable. Watching the video before we set out helped to put my fears at ease. This is a perfect activity for singles, couples, families or even a quiet solo outing. All in all, a great way to spend the day!

This was one of my and my husbands favorite things we did our first time out to Hawaii. We were thrilled we were in whale infested waters and it was super cool to have the whales literally swimming under us, as we saw and heard them. It was awesome one whale swam right under our guide (Griff) who got amazing photos of the whole experience!

Would definitely do this again during whale season! Snorkeling to see the green sea turtles was amazing too. And all by getting a little exercise, rowing. Nice!

Thanks Griff and South Pacific Kayak!

This was my first time parasailing. We took the 800 foot flight and enjoyed a good 10 minutes in the air. The view was amazing the the crew was very friendly. A Must Do.

The feeling when you suddenly ascend from the boat is amazing! Even up in the sky, it was much more stable and safe than I expected! The instructor was unique, and even if you can't speak English, it's okay! They take photos for $15, which I also recommend!

船から、一気に上昇する時の気分は最高！空の上でも、思ったより全然安定していて安全でした！インストラクターの外人さんもユニークで、英語ができなくても、大丈夫！＄１５で写真を撮ってくれるので、それもお勧めです！

We signed up for a kayak tour in Japanese as a couple in our 50s. The owner and guide, Kevin, has a beautiful Japanese wife. Kevin used to be an English teacher in Japan, so he speaks Japanese well. His wife is said to be a former student of his.

Even if it's your first time kayaking, you'll be fine. You'll receive kind and thorough instruction, and then the two of them will guide you out to sea. With a stable sit-on-top kayak, there's no worry about capsizing, even for beginners. We could see whales spouting and raising their tails in the distance, and we also spotted sea turtles. There's a point where manta rays can appear, so it seems you might see them as well. We were told that if a large black shadow passes by, it's a manta ray, but we didn't see any that day.

The snorkeling revealed the beauty of the sea... Instead of going out on a big boat to see whales and dolphins, let's leisurely meet whales and sea turtles in a stable kayak. If you get better at paddling, they will guide you to even more amazing spots, so I think it's a good idea to sign up for two days.

Please experience the great nature that you can't enjoy on Oahu. It takes about 15 minutes and costs $20 by taxi from our hotel in Kona to the clubhouse.

It was a bit cold on the day, but it was a wonderful experience. The view from over the sea was amazing. However, the photos I opted for didn't turn out very well. I guess it's because they were taken from far away...

当日は少し寒かったけれど、素敵な体験でした。
海の上から眺める景色は最高です。
ただ、オプションで申し込んだ写真はあまりよく映っていませんでした。
遠いから仕方ないのかな・・・・。

I took my wife on a self guided, 4hr, tour. The location was fairly easy to find with the help of GPS. About 45 min, with traffic, from Ewa Beach. Anyway, the staff was very helpful and welcoming upon arrival. After signing required paperwork ( hazard waiver and such) we were shown an 8 min video of the area where you may take your kayak. For first timers, doing a self guided tour, I suggest paying attention to the video as there are several key area's that will assist in your adventure, especially on how to approach one of the islands you may visit, as there are merging swells in the center of the landing area of the islands. The walk to the staging area is not far and so if you drove, I suggest leaving your vehicle at the venue parking lot as there is minimal parking where you pick up your kayak. I also suggest to either commit to going all the way to the bigger islands or going to the closer "Flat Island" and then proceding to snorkle at the next beach area, as the islands are quite

I have been to the North Shore before and enjoyed this trip the most. We enjoyed the Waimia Falls park more due to the guides suggestions. he was very knowledgeable and interesting. I especially enjoyed the turtles. I would recommend it for the young and hardy or an old folk like me. Great fun!

It was incredibly pleasant!
Seeing Hawaii from above and taking a leisurely sky walk with a parachute was the best!! Since children were also participating, I recommend it for families too!

すんごく気持ちよかったです！
ハワイを上空から見下ろせてパラシュートでゆっくりと空中散歩ができて最高でした！！お子様も参加されていたので、ファミリーにもおすすめです！

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the parasailing. It was a tremendously relaxing feeling for both of us. We took the 1000 ft. line and would do it again. Captain Duncan and crewman Kevin were both jovial and attentive to detail. Felt safe at all times.

I highly recommend buying the pictures.

This excursion was worth the money spent. My new husband had never snorkeled before so it was nice to have an experienced guide teach us how to do it. The Kayaking portion was nice and good exercise while we got to go out further than we would have without the kayaks. The guide, Steve, knew tremendous amounts about the area, ocean, animal life and more. He was helpful and funny throughout the entire experience. It was great to see turtles in and out of the water, an octopus, urchins, as well as schools of fish. Small group, us and a family, which the made the experience that much more intimate and special.

There was a staff member who spoke Japanese, so I felt at ease. I spent an hour sitting on the net at the front, feeling the waves. Snacks and drinks were free, but I hardly had any. However, it was a lot of fun. Just be careful about getting sunburned!

日本語ができる方もスタッフにいたので安心していられました。
前方の網の上（うまく説明できませんが）に座って、波を感じながら1時間過ごしました。
スナックや飲みものはフリーでしたが、ほとんどいただきませんでした。
でもとっても楽しかったです。
ただ、日焼けだけは気を付けてくださいね

Kayaking is a great way to observe different snorkeling sites. Lots of friendly sea turtles and was able to hear the songs of the humpback whales. Would have liked to see more varieties of fish. For a kayaker used to a 1-person boat, the 2-person kayak was more limiting. Our guide provided a lot of information about the sea life in the area. It was very informational. Overall a good day.

We saw so many turtles! We had a little trouble with Snuba because of some ear pain, but our dive instructor was great at working with us. They even stopped on the way back for some whale watching and we saw a whole pod! Definitely recommended for a great adventure

The crew was much better then expected. They were very helpful and attentive.

I went with high expectations, but if you are prone to seasickness, please be careful.

It's definitely better to take motion sickness medication.

The staff is accustomed to dealing with Japanese customers, so there are no issues.

I also noticed an interesting policy at the reception where customers who cause trouble pay an extra $10.

I thought it would be nice to experience it at least once, so I encourage everyone to give it a try.

期待をして、行きましたが船酔いをする人は気をつけてください。

必ず、酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいです。

スタッフは日本人の対応にも慣れていて問題ありません。

迷惑をかけた、客は10ドル多めに払うという面白い内容も受付でみうけました。

一回、体験できればいいと思いましたが是非、皆さん一度は体験してみてください。

We went on our Honeymoon and this was one of the activities that we have done. If this is your first time surfing, don't fret. The staff are professional and they teach you all the basics. Opt for the private lessons because if you are tired from paddling, the instructor can help you back to the waves hence more opportunity for you to keep on practicing to get better. The photographer was great as well as he managed to capture some great photos and you can get them all in a disc which was nice. Highly recommended...

My sister and I went surfing for the first time and had a blast! Cherry and Carol were awesome and put us in as many waves as possible. Girls Who Surf will be on my list of things to do the next time I'm in Oahu! I would recommend Girls Who Surf to anyone looking for a safe, fun time!!!!!

I would recommend this activity solely for the caring and knowledgable guide we had! I don't know how long some of the other kayak groups take you out but I thought this one was plenty long for the money. Saw plenty of sea life! Great value and memories!

Kipu Zipline Safari was a blast!! The tour is packed with 7 hours of fun activities. Although little pricey, but there is no other tour package on the island that can rival the Kipu Safari in terms of excitement. The tour guides are very knowledgeable about the island and extremely friendly. They're also very careful in handling our food. However, for those of you whose ideas of fun includes relaxing and sunbathing at the beach, this trip is not for you. But, if you're interested in little adventures and learnings and don't mind getting wet and muddy, this trip is not be missed.

I live in Hawaii half the time.

My friend is coming to Hawaii and wants to try surfing, so I signed up for lessons. I can ride the waves, but I don't have the skill or stamina to teach, so I signed up for my friend's sake.

In reality, surfing has its own competition for waves (territory?), but here, you can take lessons at a long-established place with no complaints.

No matter which instructor you get, most people are able to stand up on the board, and if there are any who haven't yet, they focus on helping them, which I think is very considerate.

半分ハワイに在住してます。

お友達がハワイに来るのに際して、サーフィンをやりたいということで申し込みました。
自分は波乗りをするのですが教えるほどの技量や体力がないので友達の為に申し込みました。

実際にサーフィンは波取り合戦が（縄張り？）があるので、ここは老舗で文句なしの状態でレッスンを受けれます。

どの先生にあたっても、ほとんどの人が立てますし、まだ立ててない人がいると集中的に手伝ってくれたりと、かなり良心的だと思います。

My family of 5 had a blast parasailing. The staff were great and made the experience a lot of fun. The time in the boast went by so fast but when I was up in the air, the time seemed to stand still. The ride is very peaceful and the views are outstanding. I didn't even mind the dunk in the ocean on our way down to the boat.
The value of the activities was very high, especially considering the discounted price we received at Hawaii Activities.

You will be picked up by bus, and once you arrive, you'll have free time at the beach in the morning. In the afternoon, you'll receive instructions on kayaking and then set off!

By the way, you can rent bodyboards in the morning. However, while the local women next to me were smoothly riding the same waves, I struggled to get on...

For lunch, you can choose between a bento box or pizza. The pizza was delicious but quite large.

Kayaking is tough because you have to carry the kayak back and forth to the beach by yourself.

Honestly, it's challenging for two women. It's better to go with a strong man. I ended up with a slim guy, and while carrying it back, I hurt my back.

But kayaking itself is fun, and sea turtles come close, so if the weather is good, it's the best!

Just be aware that you can get sunburned easily, so ladies should definitely wear long-sleeved hoodies, hats, and sunscreen to be fully prepared.

バスで送迎してもらえて、現地に着くと午前中はビーチで自由時間。
午後になるとカヤックについてのインストラクションを受けて出発！

ちなみに午前中はボディボードとか借りられます。
でもお隣の現地人女性は同じ波でスーッと乗るのに自分はなかなか乗れませんでした・・・

お昼はお弁当かピザか選べます。
ピザは美味しかったけどおっきかったです。

カヤックは往復ビーチまで自分たちで運ぶので大変です。

正直女性二人は厳しい。
力持ちの男性と行きましょう。
私は細い彼といったがために、帰り運ぶときに手伝ってぎっくり腰になりました。

でもカヤック自体は楽しいし、ウミガメも近くに来るし、天気が良ければ最高！！

とにかくよく焼けるので、気になる女性は長袖パーカーは帽子、日焼け止めなど万全にしていきましょう。

I set the height to the lowest setting, but I was able to enjoy a beautiful view of the very high and stunning sea!

The staff made an effort to communicate important information in Japanese, so I felt at ease even though they were not Japanese.

私は高さを一番低いものに設定したのですが
とても高くてきれいな海を一望できました！！

スタッフの方は大切なところはちゃんと日本語で
伝えようとしてくれたので、スタッフが日本人でなくても
あんしんでした★
