All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

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!

3泊5日の　社員旅行で　初の　ＨＡＷＡＩです。

3泊だから　もったいない！！遊び倒さなきゃって　思い
到着した日の　午後から　サーフィンに　挑戦！！！

初の　サーフィンです。

インストラクターが　英語でしか　しゃべれないから　正直
かなりあせりましたが・・・・

簡単な日本語で　漕いで漕いで　立って立って
　
ＯＫ！！！！見たいな感じで・・・

でも　うまいこと　波のタイミングで　押してくれるから

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！

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.
