All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

As soon as we arrived in Hawaii, my friend and I experienced it together. It was definitely expensive! But the scenery and the ocean were beautiful, and we could see Diamond Head clearly.

There were mostly white tourists, and the instructors couldn't speak Japanese. However, the explanations were easy to understand, so we could enjoy the experience with peace of mind. My friend and I were the only Japanese people there, but that made me feel like I was really on a trip, which was great.

ハワイに着いて早々、友人と二人で体験しました。
確かに高い！でも景色も海もきれいでダイヤモンドヘッドもしっかり見えます。

白人の観光客の方ばかりで、インストラクターも日本語は使えません。でも説明はわかりやすいし安心して体験できます。
日本人は私と友人だけでしたが、それが私にとっては旅行にきたぞっていう感じで良かったです。

This is my second time taking surfing lessons here, and rather than wanting to take the lessons, I join the class for safety reasons in various ways when I'm alone. It can be dangerous with rocks and coral, but the instructors keep an eye on us and teach us. If you zone out, you might get scolded...

The photographer is capturing the lesson scenes, so if you're interested in having a memory, you can purchase them. By the way, it was about $30 plus tax for one lesson's worth.

こちらでサーフィンレッスンを受けるのは２回目で、レッスンを受けたいというより、いろんな意味で安全なので、ひとりのときは必ずクラスに入ってます。岩やサンゴで危なかったりもしますよね、ちゃんと先生が見張ってて教えてくれます。ぼーっとしてると、叱られたりもしますけど・・・

カメラマンさんが、レッスン風景を撮影してくれてますので、思い出に・・・と思う方は購入出来ますョ。ちなみに、１レッスン分入ってて３０ドル＋税ぐらいでした。

I can't believe we were able to have such a valuable experience in such a short time! Flying together was also a wonderful memory! It felt great.

短時間であんなに貴重な体験ができるなんて！
2人で飛べたのもすごくいい思い出になりました！
気持ちよかったです。

Best Time ever.

I went to Hawaii during Golden Week. My husband and I took a three-hour lesson. My husband has been surfing for seven years, and I was a beginner, but he took me to a beach near Ala Moana where there were few people, and we both had a great time.

There were six people in our group, and we had two super cute Japanese instructors, which was an incredible luxury for me to have a surf lesson in Japanese in Hawaii as a beginner. They were gentle when we entered the water and encouraged me, who lacks stamina, so I was able to take the lesson with peace of mind.

My husband really liked the beach with no people, and when he mentioned that he wanted to surf there again the next day, they kindly brought the surfboard to Ala Moana Beach for our lesson the next day. He was very satisfied that he could surf outside of Waikiki without renting a car.

I definitely want to request this again next time.

ゴールデンウィークにハワイに行ってきました。
主人と３時間レッスンを受けました。
主人はサーフィン歴７年、私は初心者でしたが、アラモアナの方のビーチまで車で連れて行ってくれ、人も少なく主人も私も思う存分楽しめました。
６名のグループでしたが、日本人の超カワイイインストラクターが２人付いてくれて、初心者の私にはハワイで日本語のサーフレッスンが受けられるなんて最高に贅沢でした。
海に入っても優しく、そして体力のない私を励ましてくださり、安心してレッスンを受けることができました。

主人はこの人のいないビーチがすごく気に入り、次の日もここのビーチでサーフィンをしたいと言ってみると、
次の日のレッスンに合わせて、サーフボードをアラモアナのビーチまで持ってきて下さいました。
レンタカーを借りずにワイキキの海以外でサーフィンができ、大満足の様子でした。

次回も是非お願いしたいと思います。

We participated as a family of six. This was my second time parasailing, but everyone else was experiencing it for the first time. The women were particularly scared, but once we were up in the air, we were all amazed to see the city of Waikiki from nearly 100 meters high! The feeling of flying over the deep blue sea was truly indescribable. The staff were all cheerful and playful, which helped ease our nerves, and we appreciated that.

家族６名で参加しました。
私自身はパラセイリング２度目でしたが、あとは皆初体験。女性陣は特に怖がっていましたが、いざ上空へ上がると100ｍ近い高さからワイキキの街が一望できてみんな大感激！
真っ青な海の上を飛ぶ気分は、まさに筆舌に尽くしがたい体験でした。
スタッフもみんな陽気でお茶目で、緊張を解きほぐしてくれて嬉しかったです。

My husband and I went parasailing for the 1st time.
ALL WE CAN SAY IS THAT IT WAS PROBABLY THE BEST THING WE DID WHILE WE WERE IN OAHU!
There were 3 men who took us to this extreme ride.
(A captain, a parasail instructor, and another guy who helped) and they were all awsome! Very friendly, knowledgable guys who made us feel comfortable from start to finish. The parasail instructor, we forgot his name, also took our pics from the boat while we were on the ride and after developing them, took some great shots! He was great! By the way, they will offer to take a roll of pics for you and it's $15 for the whole 24 exposure film.
Some reviews seem to complain about tipping and how they felt uncomfortable that there were signs up almost begging for tips. It was totally not like that in our case. Sure, it did say "TIPS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME" butin no way did it seem unappropriate. They totally deserved our tip!
The ride itself was breathtaking... we went so high up (1000 ft, i beleive? it

All I could say was, Oh My God!

It was sooo fun, I reccomend that to any one with a real sence of adventure. And I will always come back to do the many adventures "Hawiian adventures" has to offer:-)

The captain, and his 1st mate was very cool too.

Thanks.

This is a great trip and a REAL adventure. This is also a great value. The kayaking on the ocean is fun but can be physically demanding. We are in decent shape but we were pretty tired at the end of the trip. Good snorkling and cliff jumping. The guide is informative and competent.

This activity was a lot of fun. My husband went along with me as an observer. I got a lot of great pics. The price of the pics were a little too pricey. It was $30 for a disc of digital photos.

I did the "extreme" which was a lot of fun. They dunked me in the water twice and the view from the sky was beautiful. The guys on the boat had a great since of humor too. I plan on doing the jet ski activity on my next trip to Hawaii.

I would recommend this to anyone who isn't afraid of heights.

I originally started shortboarding in Japan, but I struggled with takeoff. I felt some resistance to lessons in Japan, so I thought I would participate in Hawaii instead.

As a man, I wondered how it would be with only female instructors, but the atmosphere was quite friendly and pleasant. The instructor was, of course, beautiful (laughs). The lessons were tailored to my level, and the teaching was both theoretical and easy to understand, allowing me to grasp the concepts during the lesson! Of course, I worked on perfecting my takeoff as well!

As soon as I returned to Japan, I challenged myself on the shortboard and was able to take off right away!

I finally became a surfer. Thank you, instructor Yu-ko!!

もともと日本でショートボードを始めたのですが、テイクオフがなかなか難しくつまずいてました。日本でのレッスンはなんか抵抗もあり、ハワイでならと思い参加しました。

男性として女性だけのインストラクターでどうかな？と思いましたが、なかなかフレンドリーな感じで雰囲気もよかったです。
インストラクターはもちろん美女でした（笑）
レッスンも私のレベルにあった教え方をして頂き、理論的かつ分かりやすい教え方で納得しながらレッスンできました！
もちろん、テイクオフも完璧になるまでに！

早速、日本へ帰ってきてからショートでチャレンジも、すぐにテイクオフできました！

やっとサーファーになれました、
インストラクターのyu-koさんありがとう！！

This was a blast! It was strenuous but as a middle aged beginner not too. We teamed up in a double kayak and there were two other parent, young adult teams in our group who also expressed great enjoyment.

I went with my two sisters in late March. My sister and I were a bit nervous since it was our first experience, but the instructor was such a nice person (and super cute!!) that all our tension disappeared.

With her assistance, all three of us were able to stand up, and we were so thrilled!! Three hours flew by in no time. It was so much fun that we immediately made a reservation for the next day. We were completely captivated by the waves in Hawaii for two days.

I definitely want to rely on Girls Who Surf again next time!!

３月下旬に３姉妹で行ってきました。
私と妹は初体験だったので、少し緊張していましたが、インストラクターのお姉さんが、それはもういい人で（しかも超カワイイ！！）さっきまでの緊張はどこへやら・・

お姉さんにアシストしてもらいながら、３人とも立てるようになり、大感激！！
３時間なんてあっとゆう間でした。
あまりの面白さに、次の日も即予約＾＾
２日間ハワイの波に夢中でした。

次回も必ずガールズ・フー･サーフさんにお世話になりたいと思ってます！！

During a company trip to Hawaii, I had been there a few times before, but for others, it was their first time. So, we decided to book parasailing, something we could all enjoy together for the first time.

We went quite far out, and the boat was pretty fast, but I didn't feel seasick at all! There was one American family besides us. A really cute little girl (maybe around 5 years old?) looked scared at first as she went up with her dad, but when they came back, she was all smiles!

We rode on a sort of two-person bench and went really high up, which allowed us to see quite far into the mountains—it felt great! When we came down, before returning to the boat, the staff played their usual prank of dipping just our bottoms in the sea, which was quite cold, but it was fun to take pictures of that moment from the boat.

Also, I was thrilled when dolphins swam around us after we went out! That's Hawaii for you! We all happily took pictures together. I think it's a great activity for families, even with small children, and I would recommend it to those who aren't into intense activities!

社員旅行で訪れたハワイ、私は何度か来たことがありましたが、他の人は初めてだったので、何かみんなで楽しめるものを、ということで、初めてこちらのパラセイリングを予約しました。
だいぶ沖に出るのですが、結構船のスピードは速いです。でも酔うようなことはありませんでした☆
私たち以外にはアメリカ人のご家族が1組。すごく可愛い女の子（まだ5歳くらいかな？）も最初は怖そうにパパと上がっていきましたが、帰ってきたときにはニッコニコでした！
二人がけのベンチのようなものに乗って、かなり高くまで上がるので、結構遠くの山が見えて気持ちがよかったです♪
下に降りてきたときは、船に戻る前にスタッフがお決まりのいたずらで、おしりだけ海にちょっとつけられるので、結構冷たいですが、その瞬間を船から写真で撮りあったりして面白かったです。
また、沖に出てからイルカが周りを泳いでくれたのに感動！さすがハワイ！みんなで喜んで写真を撮りました☆
小さい子供さんがいても家族で楽しめるし、激しいアクティビティが苦手な方にもお勧めだと思います♪

The experience of a lifetime and the staff was first rate

The beach was beautiful. Very good for boogie boarding but snorkeling was not happening unless you took a thirty minute walk to get there with all of your equipment. To get to the beach was a five minute walk which was not bad but there was no transportation offered to the family to get to the snorkeling part of the beach. Really this outing was over priced. Carrying four boogie boards, towels, and snorkeling gear with kids is not fun. So we did not to get to go snorkeling here. There should have been a small shuttle offered to get to certain areas of the beach. Who wants to be carrying this equipment back and forth to the beach. The meals offered was good but again we had to wait till just before leaving to eat because the food services are back at the rental facility. All they need to offer is a shuttle and I would not hesitate returning.

Biking the North Shore was awesome

The staff quality was absolutely great. We had a great time doing parasailing and it was wonderful that they walked us through every step especially since it was the first time we ever had done it. I recommend first timers to definitely go b/c it is a thrilling adventure.

Josh was a great guide. He was very patient with our lack of skills with a kayak and he provided a lot of interesting information about the area, vegetation and history, etc. We were the only participants on our tour and we felt like we had our own personal guide. The kayak was top quality and even had a rudder to help with controlling the vessel as we rowed.

It was a wonderful trip. The staff were excellent, friendly, andknowledgable. We will definately do the snuba again.

Parasailing was the first tour my boyfriend and I decided to do in Oahu. It was very beautiful from 700 feet up in the air and very peaceful. The staff did a wonderful job and we were very pleased. The only disappointment was the $20.00 bills taped up and down the railing of the boat making sure that you knew to tip $20.00. We also did the Shark Tour and ATV Tour and no where else was tipping mentioned like it was here. The staff didn't insist that you tip but the dollar bills there pretty much insisted it which made it a bit uncomfortable. Overall, parasailing was a great choice and we would definitely do it again on a future trip!

Don't really remember how high I went, but it was great. Only think I was missing was a cold drink while I was up there. The staff were great and even gave us a little dunk as they brought us in for fun. Great time for anyone and what a great view.

I had a great time on the jet ski excursion but I was very disappointed in the fact that they asked us if we wanted photos and we said yes and when we got back they didnt even take photos of the whole group, we had 2 ski's and they only took photos of the one. It was unfair that they only got one of us. When we asked about it upon return where you retrieve the photos the women at the counter were very rude. You have to remember that people are on special vacations when going there and you should MAKE THEM HAPPY.
Thanks

Beautiful boat and very well run. The staff was great and we got to see whales.

Guides Justin & Gabe were great. North Shore is amazing-must do if staying on Oahu. We got to see sea turtles, Waimea Falls, the Bonzai Pipeline & surfing was even an option.

The tour itself was very joyful. Unfortunately, it was raining most of the time, it made the trip itself a little unconfortable.
But I enjoyed it anyway.
Thanks!

The tour itself was cool but didn´t hold its promisses/expectations. The abstract about the tour on the internet contained information about the summer tour. So, everybody expected something else. In the end, we didn´t do much on this tour but enjoying ourself, which would have been great if I would have known about it earlier.

Our cruise on the Makani was amazing! The crew was superb and really made us feel like one of the family. Captain Jon was highly skilled, very confident, which made us all feel very safe, which was even more important because we had small children on board. We thank the crew for their service and we will definitely return!

Kevin did a great job in every aspect. He made the experience fabulous. We would do it again and recommend it.

DID THIS OVER PRO BOWL WEEKEND....GREAT STAFF, FUN TIMES MEETING PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY & OF COURSE, A SIMPLY AWESOME EXPERIENCE 700+ FEET IN THE AIR....
