All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

We had a blast at the sandbar! The boat ride there was fantastic with great music and a fun crew. Once there we got to hop on the Banana Boat w/ Captain Calvin and he really made sure we were comfortable with the speed (thumbs up for faster, shaka for same speed, and thumbs down to slow it up). In addition to that helped setup a ride back to the shuttle spot since my aunt had trouble walking that far. The staff there are the best!

We got lucky and went by some sea turtles while out there on the banana boat. They swam right beneath us!

There was also live music on the boat and it was sooo good. Great songs, great musicians and singers. Wow!

We also got to kayak around and tried the stand-up paddle board for the first time. It was amazing to be out in the ocean surrounded by the beauty of the water and green mountains. It's truly magical, and I hope it stays that way forever. We should all respect it and guard it.

This should be a "must do" when traveling to Oahu!

I had booked parasailing at 150m and jet skiing with my husband, but due to strong winds, parasailing was not possible. They informed us that we could switch to a banana boat or a bumper tube, so we chose the bumper tube, which I had actually wanted to try! As a result, they refunded us the difference for upgrading from parasailing at 90m to 150m.

The staff at the reception were Japanese, and some of the staff who explained the operation spoke Japanese as well! Everyone was very friendly and kind, and we had a great time 😊. I was surprised that operating the jet ski was quite difficult, but it was fun. My husband was unsure about the bumper tube at first, but he kept saying it was the best crazy experience! 🤣

Next time we go to Hawaii, I want to try parasailing and visit the restaurant recommended by the staff for mochiko chicken! Thank you very much! ✨

旦那とパラセーリング150m+ジェットスキーを予約してましたが、風の強さでパラセーリングができなくなりバナナボートorバンパチューブに切り替える事もできるとの事だったので実はやってみたかったバンパチューブに切り替えてもらえました！
なので金額はパラセーリング90m→150mにランクアップした差額分だけ返金してくれました！

受付のスタッフさんは日本の方で、操縦の説明等してくれるスタッフさんは日本語が話せる方もいました！皆さんすごくフレンドリーで優しくて楽しかったです😊
ジェットスキーの操縦は意外と難しくてびっくりしましたが楽しく、旦那はバンパチューブとは？という感じでしたがクレイジーさに最高！と何度も言ってました🤣

またハワイに行ったら次はパラセーリングとスタッフさんおすすめのモチコチキンのお店に寄りたいと思います！
ありがとうございました✨

Kevin was fantastic! He gave us wonderful instruction and tips for the tandem kayak.
He also gave us amazing information on the island and ocean. Kevin provided all equipment and even water.
We had the best time snorkeling, cliff jumping and kayaking along the coast. We loved the sea cave stop.
Highly recommend- thanks Kevin :)

Our friends missed out on this amazing day because they waited to book, so don't be them!

The ranch is so gorgeous, breathtaking! This duo was a wonderful day

I experienced parasailing, bumper tubing, and jet skiing. All of them were fun. The sea was beautiful, and it was the best experience.

パラセーリング、バンパーチューブ、ジェットスキーを体験しました。どれも楽しかったです。海も綺麗で最高の体験でした。

Even as a beginner at fishing, the crew helped me, and I had a great time. I caught three fish. The bait was squid, which I put on myself. It was fun.

釣りが初心者でも、クルーが助けてくれて、楽しめた。3匹も釣れた。エサはイカで自分でつける。楽しかった。

The water was crystal clear and riding the stand-up pedal board was such a great experience. Every staff was very kind and welcoming. Also, kudos to the two musicians on the boat. The songs they played made the experience more enjoyable.

Dan is awesome! He is helpful and professional during the tour. Highly recommended!

Staff is amazing and so kind! The sandbar is so clear and beautiful, we even saw a sea turtle paddle boarding around!

My first time at Hanauma Bay, and I wasn't sure about the arrangements like needing a reservation as an individual, but having a guide made me feel secure. They took us quite far out for snorkeling, and I encountered a honu (sea turtle). I had snorkeled many times in Okinawa, but this experience was on a completely different scale. It was very enjoyable and became a great memory. Thank you very much.

初めてのハナウマ湾、個人だと予約が必要など段取りが分かりませんでしたが、ガイドさんがいて安心でした。
シュノーケリングはかなり沖の方まで連れて行って貰えて、ホヌにも遭遇。シュノーケリング自体は沖縄で何度も経験済みでしたが、全然スケールが違いました。
とても楽しかったです。良い思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

Although the swell was big the couple days before, the snuba tour was great. We saw lots of fish, invertebrates and saw some pretty corals. Glad I bought a case for my phone so I could capture everything we saw. This was our son’s first exposure to snuba and he loved it. Now wants to get scuba certified. Doug and Josh were great guides! Would definitely do it again!

I will turn 70 this year. The instructor taught me kindly in broken Japanese. I was worried about my arm strength, but when I got tired, he pulled me out to the open water. It was fun. I hesitated, but I'm glad I jumped in. Thank you, Ed.

今年70になります。インストラクターは、片言の日本語で丁寧に教えてくれます。腕の力があるか心配でしたが、疲れたときには沖まで引っ張って行ってくれました。楽しかった。迷いましたが飛び込んで良かった。エド先生ありがとう

The most turbulent part was on the way to the point. Although you won't get completely soaked since you go up and down from the boat, the captain ensures that your feet get dipped in the sea at least once as part of the service. It was quieter up in the air than I expected. It was calm and stable♪ I thought I should have experienced this much sooner since it was so much fun.

一番揺れたのは、ポイントに行くまでの間でした。船上から上がり船上に戻るので、びしょ濡れにはなりませんが、船長のサービスで、足が海に浸かるくらいまでは必ず一度落とされます。上空では思ってたよりも静か。穏やかで安定してました♪こんなに楽しいなら、もっと早く経験すれば良かったと思いました。

Smooth boat ride to the sandbar. Lunch was enjoyable. Music was wonderful. Staff was friendly and attentive. Other than the weather which is uncontrollable, we had a wonderful time.

It was an incredibly satisfying snorkeling experience! All the concerns I had were addressed by the two staff members. I was particularly worried about managing valuables like my wallet, passport, and smartphone, but they provided a locked case for safe storage, which made me feel secure.

Moreover, I was deeply moved when I unexpectedly encountered three sea turtles swimming right in front of me, which is said to be a rare experience.

We swam quite a bit, but since children can participate, I'm sure anyone can manage it! Since it was a January morning, it felt a bit chilly after swimming, so I was glad I brought a hoodie and a towel.

As long as I don't oversleep, it will definitely be the best day! If I come to Hawaii again, I would absolutely want to sign up for this tour.

Thank you so much!

大満足のシュノーケリングでした！！
不安に思っていたことは全てスタッフのお二人が解消してくれました。
特に、財布やパスポート、スマホ等、貴重品の管理が不安でしたが、鍵付きのケースにまとめて保管していただけるので安心でした。

また、あまり出会うことの出来ないと言われる海亀が、偶然3匹も目の前に現れ一緒に泳いでくれたときはとても感動しました。

けっこう泳ぎましたが、子どもが参加することもあるくらいなので、きっと大丈夫です！
１月の朝ということもあり、泳ぎ終わったときは少し寒かったので、パーカーなど羽織るものやタオルを持っていっていて良かったと思いました。

寝坊さえしなければ
最高の1日になること間違いなしでしょう！
もしまたハワイに来ることがあれば
必ずこのツアーに申し込みたいと思えるほどです。

本当にありがとうございました！

At the beginning of January, there are no sandbars due to the rainy season, and the water is about waist-deep. However, you can enjoy plenty of kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling. We also tried the banana boat, which was quite intense. The live music on the boat was excellent, and all the staff spoke a bit of Japanese and engaged with us a lot, which made it very enjoyable.

1月初めは雨季のためサンドバーはなく、腰くらいまで水に浸かります。ですがカヤック、SUP、シュノーケリングをたっぷり楽しめます。バナナボートもやりましたが、結構激しめでした。ボートでは生演奏がとても良かったのとスタッフ全員片言の日本語でたくさん話しかけてくれ、とても楽しかったです。

The staff was super kind, activities where safe and long enough for you to enjoy your time at the destination + it’s guaranteed that you’ll see fish if you snorkel :)

We took our teenage daughters on this tour. Staff were friendly and the day went smoothly overall. I was very disappointed to see that the staff chum the waters (feed the fish) in order to make this a better snorkel experience for guests. Feeding the fish makes them more aggressive, leads to overpopulation and affect their health.
While we appreciated the live music on board and music played over speakers when in the water, the loud cheesy music on the way home was just too much (Baby Shark, Gangnum Style etc. ) This may appeal to some tourists but just created a very loud experience and took away from our enjoying the natural beauty around us.

As a non-swimmer, I enjoyed the trip as much as my family. Every crew member is wonderful, fun, and put safety as priority. Highly recommended!

We participated as a family of five. A captain and one staff member accompanied us, and since the capacity was six, we set sail with one foreign guest. The meeting time was early in the morning, so it was still dark. The sunrise viewed from the sea was very beautiful. Our family was able to catch a 28 kg marlin and a 15 kg mahi-mahi with their support. It was an exciting experience filled with miraculous luck. Everyone, including the foreign guest who joined us, was kind and cheerful, making the trolling very enjoyable. We definitely want to do this again. Thank you very much.

家族5人で参加。キャプテンとスタッフの方1人がついてくれて、定員が6人だったので外国人の方1人と一緒に出航しました。集合時間は朝早いのでまだ暗かったです。
海から見る朝日がとても綺麗でした。
我が家は28kgのカジキと15kgのシイラをサポートしてもらいながら釣ることが出来ました。奇跡的な幸運で大興奮。全員さんも一緒に乗った外国人の方も優しく明るい方たちでとても楽しくトローリングでした。
是非またお願いしたいです。ありがとうございました。

I was able to avoid the morning traffic and prepare to make the most of my time on-site, thanks to the thoughtful arrangements. I'm glad I entrusted this to the professionals.

It had been a while since I went snorkeling, but thanks to Chieko's careful guidance, I was able to swim around without any worries and encountered many fish. It was a lot of fun. Thank you very much.

朝の渋滞を避け、現地でもできる限り時間を有効に使えるよう準備、気配りをしていただきました。プロに任せてよかったです。
久しぶりのシュノーケリングでしたが、Chieko先生が丁寧に指導してくださったので、不安なく泳ぎ回ってたくさんのお魚に出会えて、とても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

The captain and crew were so great. We had such a great time. Highly recommend going on this tour!

The live music on boat was incredible! The sandbar had awesome colors. Very much recommended!

My husband has a bit of a fear of heights, so I was worried about the 150 meters, but we were able to fly safely.

It was so much fun!

主人が高所恐怖症気味なので
150mは心配でしたが、
無事飛ぶことが出来ました。

めちゃめちゃ楽しかったです。

I joined because I really wanted to go fishing on a cruiser. We started slowly in the morning. Everyone had their own fishing rods, so we could fish at our own pace. Although we didn't catch any big fish, we moved to different spots and caught several fish around 20 centimeters.

とにかくクルーザーに乗って釣りがしたくて参加しました。
朝は，ゆっくりスタートです。
各自釣竿があるので自分のペースで釣りができます。
大きな魚は釣れませんがポイントを移動しながら20センチ前後の魚が何匹か釣れました。

It was great to be able to enter smoothly right after it opened! Since it was December, there were times when the sun was hidden by clouds and it was a bit chilly right after coming out of the water, but I was able to enjoy seeing plenty of fish. The amount of time spent at Hanauma Bay was just right.

オープンしてすぐのタイミングでスムーズに入ることができとても良かったです！
12月ということで、太陽が雲に隠れているタイミングや海から出た直後は少し肌寒かったのですが、魚もいっぱい見ることが満喫できました。ハナウマ湾の滞在時間もちょうど良かったです。

This was a great tour. I’m a little scared of the water. I don’t swim particularly well and I hate putting my head underwater. I wore a life jacket. The hardest part for me was just getting from the steps of the boat under the water and putting my head into the scuba submersible head part of the scooter. Also getting back out. There were people assisting us with everything. What a great experience.! Highly recommended!

It felt great to get around by bicycle. I was able to shop in the town of Kailua and go to the beach, experiencing a bit of the local atmosphere.

自転車での移動が気持ちよかった。
カイアルの街で買い物をしたり、ビーチに行ったりして
地元の雰囲気を少し体験できました。

The weather was perfect, and it was the best experience! Choosing the banana boat and tubing course was the right decision. During the banana boat ride, the boat staff took us to a sea turtle spot, so they stopped the boat for us to watch the sea turtles, and the kids were thrilled.

天気にも恵まれ最高でした♪バナナボートとチューブラインのコースで正解でした。バナナボートでは途中ボートの方が海亀のポイントに連れてってくれたので、ボートを止めて海亀ウォッチをしてくれ、子供も感激してました。
