All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

Had a great time. Sam made the trip very enjoyable. Would highly recommend!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this was the best activity we have ever done the guide was great and very informative. i was a little worried for my mom, but she did great. it was easy we both have never kayaked in our lives before, we want to do it again and again and again. thank you so much

The beauty of the beach and the ocean is simply wonderful! The wind was quite strong, but it added to the fun. In the morning, we had free time near the beach, and in the afternoon, we went sea kayaking. We actually paddled for about two hours, with our initial destination being Flat Island right in front of us. If you have the time, I recommend going over to Lanikai Beach next door. Lanikai Beach was also incredibly beautiful, so if you can, definitely check it out. We even got to ride the waves while sea kayaking. It was my first experience, but I managed to succeed! This is a unique activity you can only do in Hawaii, and I highly recommend it!

とにかくビーチや海の美しさが素晴らしいです！
風が相当強かったのですが、それもまた楽しい、といった感じ。
午前中はビーチ付近で自由行動、午後にシーカヤック。
実際に漕いでいるのは2時間ほどで、当初の目的地は目の前のフラットアイランド。余裕があれば、お隣りのラニカイビーチまで。
ラニカイビーチがまた素晴らしい美しさでしたので、余裕がある方はオススメ。
シーカヤックで波乗りもさせてもらいました。
初体験でしたが、なんとか成功！
ハワイならではのアクティビティで、オススメです！

beautiful trip and experienced tour guide... need a lot energy though~~~ the way back from kayaking was so tired since the wave was stronger than the morning... awesome experiences and three time flip over from kayak... make a record~~~lol~~~lol~~~

This was the first time parasailing for me and my brother and it won't be our last. It was awesome. Captain Aaron and Hector were so cool and they made the boat ride out a lot of fun. Seeing the island from up in the air was so amazing. The pictures came out great and we were glad we had them take them. It was well worth it.

It wasn't scary and was enjoyable. Two very cheerful guys efficiently took turns guiding us. On the contrary, they might not have been annoying, but they confidently asked for tips. It was $20 for the two of us. Just for your reference...

怖くもなく楽しめました。とっても明るいお兄さん２人がてきぱきと順番に飛ばしてくれます。逆に嫌味がないのかもしれませんが、堂々とチップを求められました。２人で２０ドルでした。ご参考までに…。

My husband and I took this tour recently while in Hawaii and it rocked! Our driver was Sam and he was great. Very knowledgable about Hawaii and offered some really interesting tidbits of info. He was laid back, friendly and very engaging. This tour is great because you have the freedom to choose your activities and even traveling in a group you are not forced to select the same options. You can add activities on site which was also a plus. We were dropped in each location for about two hours and were free to eat, wander and otherwise do as we chose. There was a lady in our group that was by herself and she really enjoyed herself as well. Hailewa town was cool to wander around in and my husband even had time to kayak there and join me at the shops. Free water and juice was also a nice bonus. I highly recommend this tour if you are headed to Oahu!

It wasn't my first time paragliding, so I was relaxed and not nervous, but once I went up, it was higher than I imagined, and instead of feeling good, I was scared. My husband enjoyed it.

パラセーリングは初めてではなかったので、緊張もなくリラックスして乗りましたが、いざ上にあがると想像した以上に高くて、気持ちいいはずが怖かったです。
夫は楽しんでいました。

We had a great time. The cave was a little disappointing, I thought we were going through it, we just went up to it. Definately recommend going with the 2 person kayak, lot less work :)Snorkeling was pretty neat, saw a few eels. The guides were very knowledegable and friendly. I would definately recommend this!

A little nervous at first. Would have liked to go first and have time enjoying the boat ride. Overall the staff was very cool and fun while staying safety aware. A great time!!!

I can't swim very well, but I want to try surfing!! So, I participated in a lesson with Hands Heedman Hawaii Local Surfing Lessons☆

The instructor taught us patiently in both Japanese and English at the office, and we practiced exactly as we were taught during the two sessions.

Once we got into the water, if I couldn't paddle well, they would pull me along, which really reduced my fear.

I highly recommend this for beginners♪

ほとんど泳げないけど、サーフィンをやってみたい！！
ということで、ハンズ・ヒーデマン ハワイローカルサーフィン・レッスンのレッスンに参加☆

オフィスで日本語と英語で丁寧にインストラクターの方が教えてくれ、２回実際に教えてもらった通りに練習。

海にはいってからも、うまくパドリングできないときは、ひっぱってくれたり、怖さが半減しました。

初心者の方にもおすすめです♪

Out of this world! Everything and more than what we had hoped. Certainly an activity for all ages, young and old.

I've never kayaked before and thought this was fun. It was a little windy on the day we went out but that didn't hinder us at all except when it came time to see the cave. Only one or two boats braved this part. Get ready to climb up some lava cliffs (about 4 feet high) and then jump back in too. Hadn't done anything like that in awhile but found it to be fun and refreshing. I sit at a desk all day so this was awesome for me. The snorkeling was beautiful as usual in Hawaii so no disappointment there. Overall we had a great time!

We had a great time. However, the 4-hour tour was pretty intense and I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for the first-time kayakers.

First time kayakers, the sea was calm, the day was sunny and we had an awesome time. Erick was a great guide...would do it again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic trip--very unique. Great guides-Danny and Arem made the day very enjoyable. They were funny, informative, and very helpful.

I experienced parasailing.

I was anxious due to my fear of heights, but up in the sky, it was calm, and I was very satisfied with the magnificent view. Since transportation is included, it's reassuring even for beginners in Hawaii. The total time is about 2 hours, so it doesn't interfere with other plans. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to sign up for this tour and recommend it to my friends.

However, there is one point to note. That is seasickness. I am prone to seasickness, so the rocking of the boat while others were parasailing was tough. Motion sickness medication is a must.

パラセーリングを体験してきました。


高所恐怖症のため不安がありましたが、空の上は穏やかで、壮大な景色にとても満足しました。
送迎付なので、ハワイ初心者でも安心です。
時間も正味２時間程度なので、他の予定の邪魔になりません。
またハワイに行く機会があればぜひ申し込みたいですし、友人にも紹介したいツアーです。

ただ、一つだけ注意点があります。
それは、船酔いです。
元々船酔いするタイプでしたので、他の方がパラセーリングしている間の船の揺れは辛かったです。
酔い止めの薬は必須です。

I took a surfing lesson using an extra-large surfboard, and I was able to stand up on my first try as if it were the most natural thing. The slogan is "Even beginners can stand up," so maybe that's to be expected, but it felt a bit too easy from the start, which was a bit of a letdown.

The lesson was just a 5-minute walk from the shop, and the 2 hours flew by. However, since we were learning right above a coral reef, I was really focused on not falling. My husband ended up injuring his foot.

But I was happy that we were able to get some photos taken. I thought the $30 for the CD was a reasonable price.

超特大のサーフボードを使ってのサーフィンレッスン、
当たり前のように沖に行って1度目で立てました。
「初めての人でも立てる」がうたい文句なので
仕方がないのかもしれないですけど、
なんだか初めから簡単すぎて拍子抜けでした。

レッスンはショップから徒歩5分の場所で
2時間はあっ~という間でしたが、
すぐ下にサンゴ礁がある上でのレッスンだったので、落ちたくない一心でした。
旦那は足にケガしてしまいました。

でも写真を撮ってもらえたので嬉しかったです。
CD代30ドルは良心的な価格だと思いました。

Riding a kayak was exciting for me, especially since I haven't had much experience with boats in Japan. It felt more like being on a board floating on the sea (though it was stable), which was a strange sensation. At first, I struggled with bumping into others and not being able to move forward smoothly, but as time passed, I was able to pick up speed.

The sea was very clear and beautiful. Paddling through it on a sea kayak felt like returning to nature, as if I had become one with it, and it was incredibly refreshing.

I was a bit nervous about the caves at first, but they were cool and interesting. Next time, I want to explore a larger cave with a kayak! ^^

カヤックに乗るのはもちろん、日本でもあまりボートとか乗ったことがないので、ドキドキでした。カヤックはボートというより、海の上に浮いている板に乗っているような感覚で（とはいえ、安定はしていましたが）、不思議な感覚でした。最初は他の人にぶつかったり、うまく前に進めなかったりと悪戦苦闘しましたが、時間が経つにつれ、スピードを上げることも出来ました。
海がとても澄んでいてきれいでした。その海をシーカヤックに乗って進むと、自然に帰ったような、自然と一体となったような、何ともいえず気持ちがよかったです。
洞窟も最初はちょっとドキドキしましたが、ちょっとひんやりして面白かったです。今度はもっと本格的な巨大洞窟をカヤックで探検してみたいです^^

In the morning, I participated in the sea kayak cave exploration, and in the afternoon, I relaxed with shopping, at the beach, and by the hotel pool. I think the reason I had such a fulfilling day was that the morning tour was really great.

Once I got on the sea kayak, I felt like a local as I paddled out into the sea. The instructor was quite reliable and kindly guided us. The kayak was narrower and had a lower edge than boats in Japan, so it felt like I was sitting in the water. My wife was initially scared and was squealing, but she gradually got used to it.

The caves were mysterious, and the fact that you could only access them by kayak added to the sense of adventure, which was really fun. It was a wonderful experience.

その日は午前中はこのシーカヤックの海中洞窟探検に参加し、午後はショッピングやビーチやホテルのプールなどでゆっくり過ごしました。なかなか充実した気分で１日過ごせたのは、午前中のこのツアーがとてもよかったからだと思います。

シーカヤックに乗ると、現地の人になった気分で海に漕ぎ出ました。なかなか頼もしい指導員の方が親切にご指導して下さいました。
日本のボートよりも幅が狭く縁の高さが低いので海に座っている感覚でした。家内などは最初はこわがってきゃーきゃーと言っていましたが、だんだん慣れたようでした。

洞窟も神秘的で、カヤックでしか行けないというのが冒険心を煽られて楽しかったですね。
とてもいい体験ができました。

This was our ( my husband and myself) first Parasailing experience, and we'd do it again. Very fun, and also very relaxing. No worries, very safe. The crew was great and did a wonderful job with photographing us as well, which was most appreciated!

When you think of Hawaii, you think of surfing! So, I took my first challenge. Since the board is big, it's easy to balance and you'll be able to ride it quickly! The waiting time for waves can be long, so I recommend the intensive course because an hour and a half goes by in no time.

One thing to be careful about is that I accidentally forgot to put sunscreen on my legs, and I ended up with swelling and a bad experience, so don't forget it!

ハワイといえばサーフィン！ということで、初チャレンジしました。
大きいボードなのでバランスが取りやすくすぐに乗れるようになりますよ！
波待ちの時間が長いので、1時間半だとあっという間に時間が経ってしまうと思うので集中コースのほうがおすすめです。

気をつけてもらいたいのが、脚に日焼け止めを塗るのをうっかり忘れてしまい、腫れてひどい目に遭いましたのでお忘れなく。

I thought it would be great to paddle a sea kayak myself, which feels very outdoorsy, so I joined the adventure. It was quite a good experience. Since sea kayaking is close to the water's surface, it was fun to glide along the ocean. I was a bit worried about what would happen if big waves came, but there were no such waves, and I was relieved when I safely reached the cave. The inside of the cave was wonderful too. They said the walls were pink, and they really were, beautiful indeed. Gliding through the cave in the kayak was a unique sensation. I also enjoyed snorkeling and diving into the beautiful sea. It was a lot of fun.

自分で体を動かしてシーカヤックを漕ぐというのが、アウトドアっぽくていいな~と思ってアドベンチャーに参加。なかなかよい体験でした。シーカヤックは海面に近いので、海の表面を進む感じで楽しかったです。大波が来たらどうしようとか思いましたが、そのような波もなく、無事に洞窟までたどり着いた時はほっとしました。洞窟の中もステキでした。ピンクの壁とあったけど、本当にピンクで、きれいでした。カヤックでゆらゆらと進む洞窟はまた格別の感覚でした。シュノーケリングで海に潜ったり、と海をきれいな海を満喫できました。とても楽しかったです。

I'm glad I participated. At first, balancing on the kayak was difficult, but I quickly became a pro-level paddler. When we went out to the middle of the ocean, I wondered if I would be okay, but the instructor frequently checked in on us, which was reassuring.

Paddling through the sea caves was an amazing experience. It felt strange to navigate through areas that could only be accessed by kayak, where there was no solid ground. It was a very interesting experience. The snorkeling afterward was also great; the water was clear, and tropical fish were swimming nearby, which was a lot of fun.

I'm really glad I took part in this.

参加して正解でした。カヤックも最初はバランスが難しかったけど、すぐにプロなみ（？）の漕ぎ手になれました^^
カヤックで海の真ん中まで行った時は少し大丈夫かなーっとも思いましたが、指導員の方がよく声をかけて下さったので、安心でした。
海中洞窟もカヤックで進むのは感動でした。足場がないところでカヤックでしか行けない中を進むのは不思議な感覚でした。とても面白い体験でした。その後のシュノーケリングも、海が透明ですぐ近くを熱帯魚が泳いでいて、とても楽しかったです。
参加してよかったと思います。

I went sightseeing in the morning, and after shopping in the afternoon, I joined this cruise. It was interesting to experience a catamaran rather than a regular yacht, so I'm glad I did. One hour felt just right for a cruise—not too long. The boat was quite luxurious. The view of the land from the sea was great, and the ocean was beautiful and refreshing. I really enjoyed it.

午前中に観光して、午後は買い物をした後、このクルーズに参加。普通のヨットでなく、カタマラン船というのも興味深かったので、体験できてよかったです。1時間というのもちょっとクルーズ、という感じで長すぎずよかったですね。なかなか豪華な船でした。沖から眺める陸の眺めもよかったし、海がきれいで気持ちよかった。なかなか楽しめました。

It was my first experience on a catamaran, and it was very comfortable. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the boat was amazing, and I was able to take postcard-like photos. The ocean was also very beautiful.

After finishing the morning sightseeing and taking a leisurely walk along the beach, I joined this cruise and then enjoyed some shopping. I feel that just adding this one-hour cruise made a huge difference in my satisfaction for the day. I'm glad I participated.

初めてのカタマラン船体験でしたが、とても乗り心地がよかったですね。船から見るダイアモンドヘッドとワイキキの景色が最高で、ポストカードのような写真が撮れましたし。海もとてもきれいでした。
午前の観光が終って、海辺とかゆっくり散歩した後にこのクルーズに参加、その後ショッピングを楽しみました。この1時間のクルーズが入るだけで、その日の満足度が全然違ったな~と思います。参加してよかったです。

This was one of the highlights of our trip to the Big Island! Our guides, Kevin and Noni, were wonderful with tidbits of history about the island! The kayaking was so much fun as well as the snorkeling. They fed the fish so we could see more fish as we were snorkeling. Kevin demonstrated the jumping off the cliff into the ocean and my daughter followed! It is well worth the reasonable fee for a great workout and exploration of what the Big Island has to offer! Thank you Kevin and Noni for making it such a great experience!

Actually, I had never been on a cruise before, and my first cruise turned out to be in Hawaii. I thought a smaller boat would be better than a big ship, so we discussed it and chose this cruise from the website. The catamaran also felt very Hawaiian.

It was my first experience feeling how nice it is to sail through the sea with the sea breeze. Looking at the land from the sea gave me a strange feeling, like, "Oh, I was just over there, and now I'm looking at it from the water." The crew members were very kind and made it enjoyable for us.

Before I knew it, an hour had passed. Next time, I definitely want to join a sunset cruise plan.

実は今までクルーズってしたことがなく、初めてのクルーズがハワイになってしまったんです。大きな船よりも小さいボートっぽいのがいいな、と思ってみんなで相談してホームページからこのクルーズを選びました。カタマラン船っていうのもハワイっぽかったし。
潮風を受けて海を進むのがこんなに気持ちいいなんて初めての体験でした。海から陸を眺めるのも、「ああ、さっきまであそこにいたのに、今は海から眺めているんだな」って不思議な感覚でした。船員のスタッフの方々がとても親切で楽しませてくれました。
あっという間に１時間が経ってしまいました。
今度は是非夕日を眺めるクルーズプランに参加したいです。

I participated on the same day I arrived in Hawaii. The flight was long, so I was a bit tired, but the refreshing sea breeze and the beautiful ocean completely blew away my fatigue.

I was glad to enjoy the Hawaiian sea on the cruise right after arriving in Hawaii. The staff were cheerful and really helped to create a fun atmosphere.

The cleanliness and beauty of the ship (maybe it was new?) also left a good impression.

Overall, everything was great.

ハワイに到着したその日に参加しました。飛行機が長かったので、少々疲れていましたが、潮風が気持ちよく、海がキレイだったので、すっかり疲れも吹っ飛びました。
ハワイに行ってまずクルーズでハワイの海を楽しめてよかったです。
スタッフの方々が明るくて盛り上げてくれたのも、楽しめました。

船が清潔できれいだった（新しいのかな？）のも、好印象でした。

とにかく全てにおいてよかったです。

I joined this tour because I wanted to entertain my children. Since I usually don't get to spend much time playing with them due to work, I thoroughly enjoyed communicating with them while kayaking together.

The feeling of paddling into the cave was indescribably exciting, and it sparked a sense of adventure within me. If possible, I would like to challenge myself with a more authentic cave experience next time (like progressing in complete darkness relying on headlamps). I felt like I returned to my childhood and became closer to my son. He even said, "Dad was the most excited" ^^;

I was also moved by how beautiful the sea was. I'm satisfied that I could show my children such a beautiful place.

子供達を楽しませたいと思い、このツアーに参加しました。普段は仕事でなかなか一緒に遊んであげることも少ないので、子供と一緒にカヤックに乗ってコミュニケーションを思い切り楽しみました。

洞窟の中にカヤックに乗って進む感覚は何ともいえず、ワクワクするものがあり、冒険心が湧き起こる気持ちがしました。出来れば今度はもっと本格的な洞窟（真っ暗な中をヘッドライトを頼りに進むとか）に挑みたい気もしました。童心にかえって、息子と仲良くなれた気もします。「パパが一番はしゃいでいた」と言われてしまいましたが^^;

海がきれいなのも感動でした。子供にもこんなきれいな場所を見せてあげることができて満足しています。
