All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Maui. We had a group of five for this trip, ranging in age from 8 to 73 and everyone had a blast. It was something completely new and unique for us and the memories of my son's face and he was swimming with the turtles and fish will always be with me. It was priceless and I would highly recommend it. The staff were great and gave me complete confidence that they would take care of my son as they encouraged him with the Snuba-ing. They were very patient and explained everything with a sense of humour and made the day completely memorable for us all. Thank you!

Was such a nice experience. When you are so far up in the air it seems so quiet and peaceful. Hawaii offers a great view. The crew rocked! Booking through Hawaii Activities was VERY easy and made check-in much faster!!

Before I book this activity I thought as an individual, they will put myself on the "parachute" only, but they weren't, they simply put me with two other strangers together, I don't even know them, I feel so bad. That's why I didn't leave them a penny. The shuttle drivers is a nice guy, I leave him 10 bucks.

Great time, experience of a lifetime. It was our 35th wedding anniversary and we went with the extreme. The crew was very friendly and seemed to enjoy our trip, to paradise in the skies, as much as we did.

I highly recommend this tour to anyone who has never been to Hawaii!! Our tour guide was super nice and very knowledgeable. We rode the beach cruiser and it was really nice to just ride along the beach, but you have to be careful as you do share the road with cars. It was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and spend the whole day at the North Shore. We had an awesome time and I cannot wait to do it again.

This has truely been voted the most fun adventure by each member of our family!

Sam our tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun! It was the best tour we went on, on our week long vacation to Oahu.

It's a little scary, but if you float in the air, you'll be fine!

ちょっと怖いけど、
空中に浮いてしまえば、
だいじょ~ぶ！

I participated with a friend in July☆

I was worried about whether I could stand up since it was my first time surfing, but both of us managed to stand and it was so much fun!!

I am really grateful to our instructor, Yuko. She taught us the basics properly, and when I mentioned that I wanted to surf in Japan, she shared a lot of information.

Yuko is kind, thorough, and... cute♪

Thank you so much!!

It was so enjoyable that although we originally planned to surf for just one day, we added another day on-site!! I highly recommend it for beginners☆

You can participate with peace of mind, and communication is clear, plus they teach the basics in an easy-to-understand way.

If you go to Hawaii, definitely give it a try!!

I will definitely participate again on my next trip to Hawaii!! Yuko, I hope to see you again then☆★☆★

７月に友達と２人で参加しました☆

初めてのサーフィンで立てるかな？？？と心配していましたが、２人共なんとか立ててすっごく楽しかったです！！

インストラクターのユウコさんには本当に感謝感謝です。
きちんと基礎を教えてもらって、日本でもサーフィンをしたいと言ったら色々と教えてくれました。

親切で丁寧でそして。。。　可愛い♪　ユウコさん！！

本当にありがとうございました！！

楽しすぎて予定ではサーフィンは1日だけだったけど、現地でもう1日追加しました！！
初心者の方には本当におススメです☆

安心して参加できるし、言葉もきちんと通じるし、
基礎から分かりやすく教えてもらえます。

是非ハワイへ行ったときは参加してみてください！！

次回のハワイでも必ず参加します！！
ユウコさんその時はまたお願いします☆★☆★

This time, I really wanted to go tandem parasailing in Hawaii, so I researched various sites and decided on this one. The many positive reviews from past visitors were a deciding factor. However, my only concern was that it seemed like no one would speak Japanese. My wife was worried about that too. On the day of the activity, while waiting near the Duke Kahanamoku statue, a van arrived. As expected, the driver clearly didn't seem to speak Japanese. From there, we went around to various hotels, and a total of five groups joined us, but everyone except us was a foreigner who could speak English. My wife had an even more anxious expression on her face... Meanwhile, the driver was explaining things in English, but I couldn't understand anything (laughs).

Then we arrived at Kealoha Bay. When we showed our tickets, we were given a paper with the time and the boat we would be taking, and we waited for a bit. Additionally, it seemed that the four groups we were with were going to do jet skiing, so they headed in a different direction from us...

When it was time to go to the designated boat, there were four other foreigners on board, and we were all set to go. Up until this point, it sounds a bit negative, but from here on, it was completely different. The group we were with included a family of five (the wife was just along for the ride and took photos), a couple in their 40s, and two friends in their 20s, along with us, and everyone was cheerful. The captain? and the young camera assistant explained everything in a bright and easy-to-understand manner, and they provided explanations in Japanese at key points. There was a place to store our belongings, so it was no problem to bring a small backpack.

We headed out on the boat, and the parasailing began! As for the parasailing itself, it was amazing and exceeded my expectations. The flight lasted about ten minutes, and it was so much fun. The young man took photos for us. It was an additional $15, but I was satisfied with the quality. They handed it to us on film, so be sure to keep it in your carry-on to avoid exposure.

So, having a lot of anxiety was part of the fun. The mention of adventure in our belongings might be related to this experience.

今回、ハワイでどうしてもパラセーリングをタンデムでやりたくて、いろんなサイトで調べてここに決めました。
過去の書き込みもいい感想が多かったのが決め手。
ただ、日本語が通じそうにないのが唯一の不安。嫁もそこをずっと心配していました。そして、当日、デュークカナハモク像の近くで待っていると、一台のバンが。予想通り、明らかに日本語が通じそうにないドライバー。そこから、様々なホテルを回り、計５組が一緒になりましたが、私達以外は全て英語が通じそうな外国人ばかり。嫁の顔には一層不安な表情が・・・そんな中ドライバーはずっと英語で説明なようなことをしていましたが、一切わかりません(笑)
そして、ケアロ湾に到着。ここでチケットを見せると、時間と乗るボートの書いた紙を渡されて、しばし待つ。おまけに一緒に乗った４組はどうやらジェットスキーをやるようで僕らとは別の方向へ・・・
そして、時間になって指定されたボートに行くと、別の外国人が４組いて、ボートに乗せられました。
ここまでがなにかネガティブな内容ですが、ここからは全く違います。
一緒に乗った外国人は５人家族が一組（奥さんはただ同乗してカメラ係）、４０代の夫婦と２０代の女性の友達２人と我々でしたが、みんな陽気。船長？とカメラ係の若者が明るくわかりやすく説明してくれるし、要所は日本語で説明してくれます。荷物も置く場所があるので、ナップサックに入れていけば問題なし。
ボートで沖まで進み、パラセーリングがスタート！
肝心のパラセーリングはといえば、最高で、期待以上でした。およそ１０分間のフライトですが、楽しくてしょうがない。写真は、この若者がとってくれます。１５ドル別料金ですが、出来も満足ですよ。フィルムで渡されるので、手荷物に入れて感光しないように。
というわけで、不安一杯で望むのも楽しみの一つ。持ち物に冒険心と書かれているのはこのあたりがあるのかも。

Our guides were great. Activities in and out of the kayaks was always up to the individual. Care was taken to explain and show how to do things. The snorkeling was great and the cliff jump (optional for everyone) was an great from the Top of the World. Excellent snacks after our trip!!

We participated with eight people, including a five-year-old. I had heard that there were no Japanese staff, but I was relieved to find a very kind Japanese female staff member. The parasailing was a lot of fun, but I got seasick on the boat before we reached the sea. While feeling good is important, I think motion sickness medication is necessary. Perhaps because the wind was strong, we rode in groups of four. I wished we could have gone in pairs instead. Also, we were told that if we felt like it, we could give a tip, but I thought the fee should have included the tip... so my family ended up paying. The photos were available for purchase along with the negatives.

５歳児含め８名で参加しました。
スタッフの方に日本人はいないと聞いてましたが、
とても親切な日本人スタッフの女性が居て安心しました。
パラセイリングはとても楽しかったのですが、船で海に出るまでに酔ってしまいました。
気持ちも大切ですが、酔い止めは必要かと思います。
風が強かったからか、４人ずつ乗りました。
２人ずつ乗りたかったなと少し思いました。
それからチップを気持ちがあればお願いしますと言われたのですが、料金にはチップが含まれてたはず...と思いながら、家族が支払いました...。
写真は撮ってくれた写真をネガごと購入するかたちでした。

The kayaking was not as tiring as I anticipated. My kids' highlight of the tour was the 25ft cliff jump (I only jumped the 10 ft cliff). They can't stop talking about it; truly awesome. We snorkeled on our way back from the caves. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this tour and would do it again.

I always was interested in surfing and it has been a long time dream of mine to surf. The instructors are extremely helpful and encouraging. I had sooooo much fun and i surprised myself with how many waves I actually caught. I can honestly say that I picked up a new hobby.=)
P.S. Yuko is amazing!!!

I'm in my mid 60's and was with my son and grandson. We all had a great time. I was able to conquer my fear of heights and experience the feeling of flying. The view from up above is awesome. Don't let your fear stop you! One hint, close your mouth before the dip! lol. The staff was friendly, courteous and competent. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

It was very pleasant.
The two brothers didn't understand much Japanese, so I couldn't really understand the explanations, but it was fine as long as I watched the people in front.
The description for alan1 mentioned that tips were included, but they actively requested tips.
I'm taking my sons with me to try again.

とても気持ちよかったです。
２人のお兄さん、
ほとんど日本語は通じませんでしたので、
説明はよくわかりませんでしたが、
前の方のを見ていれば大丈夫です。
alan１の説明文には、
チップも含まれているように書かれていましたが、
かなり積極的にチップを要求されました。
息子たちも連れて、もう一度チャレンジです。

Despite the scheduling difficulties and my insistence, they kindly agreed to help me.

I was able to learn properly from the basics and really catch the waves!! The excitement when I stood up was incredible. When I stumbled in the shallow water, I got a few scrapes, but I see those as proof of my effort. Moreover, the instructor was very friendly and cute. It felt more like hanging out with friends among the girls, which made it even more enjoyable. I had a fantastic time surfing, and it truly became a wonderful memory.

When I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to request Girls Who Surf!!

Thank you, Yuko!!!

どうしても都合が合わず、無理を言ったにも関わらず、
快く引き受けて下さいました。

基礎からちゃんと教えてもらえて、しっかり波に乗れる事ができました！！
立てた時の感動は、半端ないです。
ちょっと浅瀬でコケると、多少傷も出来ますがこれも頑張った証拠だと思えます。
しかも先生は、とてもフレンドリー＆キュートです。
女子同士だとお友達みたいな感じでさらに楽しいです。
とても楽しいサーフィンをする事が出来て、本当に
いい思い出になりました。

またハワイに行ったら、是非ガールズフーサーフさんで
お願いしたいと思います！！

yukoさんありがとう！！！

This was our first time attempting scuba diving. Jeff was very informative, helpful and patient. We went to two different sites for our 2 tank dive. He even went so far as to jump into the water and check the visibility; to see if it was a good site. We felt this excursion was a value for our money. He explains everything in detail before going out on the boat, and made sure everyone was comfortable before proceeding forward with the dives. All in all this experience has made us want to become certified.

mM gf, sister and I went on the BOB after we saw how unique the pictures were on the website. We decided to give it a shot, and it was simply the hightlight of the trip ! The staff was friendly and they took amazing pictures of our whole group. They allowed us to stay longer than normal which was great and Donovan, the head honcho was a really relaxed guy and made us all feel at ease. YOU MUST GO !!!!!!!!!

I love these people! This was the greatest. We reserved 2 for parasailing and 2 observers on the boat. Getting the confirmations online was easy. The directions to the pick-up was simple to find. They picked us up and delivered us back to our hotel. The parasailing itself was da bomb! Our driver and his co-worker were most awesome and very friendly. They did NOT make you give them a tip; you wanted to. They deserve every penny they make! Quite frankly, I could have spent all days with these guys; they were so much fun. It's a quick ride, but the most fun EVER. If you do not do this, you're crazy!

We did the Kayak , Snorkel and Sea Cave................it was wonderful! The guides were very nice and the snacks were very nice. I loved the whole thing!! I am a bit afraid of the Ocean so I only snorkled a little and then sat up on the rocks which was very relaxing and so beautiful!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

I participated in a bodyboarding lesson. After two hours of instruction, I believe anyone can ride the waves. After taking this lesson, I went bodyboarding in Kailua. I'm glad I took the lesson.

ボディーボードレッスンに参加しました。２時間も教わるとＢＢは誰でも波に乗ることができると思います。このレッスンを受けた後にカイルアでＢＢをしました。レッスンを受けておいてよかったです。

The Surf Bus tour to the North Shore was the best tour that we took. Our driver Justin was awesome. On the tour of the island he was very knowledgable and pointed out lots of things that we would have missed if we had just taken a rental car. This tour also gave us lots of options as far as activities and a choice of beaches to spend time at. Waimea Bay was the best beach on the island and the jumping rock was a lot of fun. I would recomend this tour to anyone!

It was my first time in Hawaii, and I'm really glad I signed up for this tour. The weather was fantastic, and since it started at 9:00 AM, it felt great to fly and have a stunning view of Honolulu.

We went out to sea on a boat, and from there, they took us flying. The guy driving the boat and the one preparing the equipment were both very kind and quite playful. Although they didn't speak Japanese, I had a great time.

If you haven't tried it yet, I definitely recommend experiencing it at least once. It's highly recommended!

初めてのハワイでしたが、このﾂｱｰに申し込んで本当に良かったです。
天気がスゴく良く、朝9：00からだったので飛んだ時にとても気持ちがよくホノルルが一望できて最高でした。

ボートで沖まで出て、そこから飛ばしてくれるのですが、船を運転するお兄さんも用具を準備してくれるお兄さんもとても親切でとってもお茶目な人たちでした。日本語は通じませんがとても楽しめました。

やった事のない方は、ぜひ一度体験してみて下さい。
オススメです。

This is my first trip to Hawaii for a 3-night, 5-day company trip.

Since it's only 3 nights, I thought it would be a waste not to make the most of it! So, I decided to challenge myself to surfing starting from the afternoon of the day I arrived!!!

It's my first time surfing.

The instructor only spoke in English, so to be honest, I was quite nervous...

But with simple Japanese, they guided me to paddle and stand up, saying things like "OK!!!!"

However, they pushed me at the right timing with the waves, so even though it was my first time, I was able to stand up!!

It was so moving!!! So much fun...!!

After returning to Japan, I can't forget that joy, and I'm planning to start surfing!

初めてなのに　立てることが出来ました！！

感動！！！たのしい・・・・！！

日本に帰ってから　あの　楽しさが　忘れらんなくて
はじめるつもりでーす！！

My daughters and I all participated in our "first surfing experience" with excitement. Thanks to our beautiful and kind instructor, we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. We all said, "I wish we could have done more..." as we returned to the hotel, and it became a wonderful family memory. I recommend it for beginners and families!

娘たちと私と三人とも「サーフィン初体験」
ドキドキしながら参加しましたが、美人で優しい
インストラクターさんのおかげでリラックスして
楽しませていただきました。
三人とも「もっとしたかったなあ・・・」なんて言いながら
ホテルに帰り、家族の素敵な思い出になりました。
初心者やファミリーにはお勧めします！

Both of us being over 50 and not in the best of shape, we had some trepidations about being 500 feet up. Nothing to worry about. First rate captain and crew. Excellent experience. Do be sure to take the dunk at the end and get the pictures.

It was my first time to do parasailing.
Awsome!! view from top was beautiful!!
If I have chance, I wanna do again:-)

I had such a great time on the Safari tour. I had Alex, Maggie and Adrienne as my tour guides and they were FANTASTIC! Our group laughed so much and I felt really safe having Alex and Adrienne there to explain what we were supposed to do during the zipline and jumping off Kipu falls. I had a blast and was totally pumped up after I left for the rest of the day. I would recommend this tour to everyone who's going to Kauai!

Thanks so much for the fabulous adventure!

It was my first time in Hawaii, and I'm really glad I signed up for this tour. It's no surprise that there are many repeat visitors. The guide, Mr. Yamazaki, provided insights that allowed us to view Hawaii and Japan from various perspectives, which was truly inspiring. It was like a school trip for adults.

The woman who guided us also recommended some great shops, and I was able to buy some satisfying souvenirs. Thank you for all the wonderful memories. I definitely want to participate again!

初めてのハワイでしたが、このﾂｱｰに申し込んで本当に良かったです。
リピーターの方が多いのも頷けます。
案内をして下さる山崎さんのお話はハワイと日本をいろんな角度で見直すことが出来て、刺激されました。正に大人の修学旅行です。

一緒に案内をしてくださった女性の方にお勧めのお店を教えてもらって納得のいく記念品を買うことが出来ました。
たくさんの思い出をありがとうございます。
また絶対に参加したいです！
