All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

So much fun! The live music was on point. The crew made the trip fun and made sure everyone was safe while having a great time. Would highly recommend this excursion for all ages. We will definitely do this one again on our next visit.

I have never surfed before and I probably won't in the future, so I decided to join this experience to feel that vibe casually. The speed was much slower than I imagined, and I didn't feel scared at all. Watching the people surfing on the same waves and being able to ride the waves together was fun and made me feel like a surfer. However, it ended in no time. It would be nice if it were a bit cheaper.

サーフィンをした事が無く、今後もできそうもないので、気軽にそんな気分になれそうなこちらに参加しました。
想像よりもスピードはゆっくりで、全く怖さはありませんでした。同じ波にサーフィンしている人達を見て、一緒に波に乗れたのは、サーファー気分で楽しかったです。
しかし、あっという間に終わりでした。もう少し安価だといいですね。

The instructor and driver spoke Japanese, and it was so much fun! I experienced several activities in Hawaii, but this was the most enjoyable and memorable tour!

インストラクター兼ドライバーの方が日本語を話せる方で、すごくすごく楽しかったです！ハワイでいくつかアクティビティの体験をしましたが1番楽しくて思い出のツアーになりました！

This was a great experience for our family. The banana boat and bumper ride was a fun time and I’d recommend for families to do together. We all had time to use the paddle boards and kayaks as well as try our hand at snorkelling. The crew was super friendly, informative and attentive while we were getting to the sandbar and throughout the activity. Snorkelling is limited to small fish amongst the reefs but great for novice snorkelers. Highly recommend this excellent excursion!

Awesome family time Very friendly tripulación very happy

We had a perfectly fun day! We rented bikes and snorkeling gear and flippers, rode to Lanikai beach (about a 29 minute ride), saw some turtles and fish. Then we came back, got boogy boards and enjoyed kalilua beach. Had some lunch did some souvenir shopping.

Our only complaint would be the tour bus driver who picked us up. He asked us where we were from and then said something about Biden being born there so we would have to walk. My husband asked him not to bring politics into our tour. He made another joke about our state and told us it was a long walk back. Then he told us there was a password (Hawaiian word) and that we couldn’t ride if we couldn't say it. Then he switched us to another bus to come back on. We were relieved.

In the early morning at Hanauma Bay, I never expected it to be this cold. I did go into the water once, but it was so cold that I gave up quickly. I was really shocked that there were hardly any fish around. When I visited in the past, it was in the afternoon, so it was warm and there were plenty of fish to enjoy! Is there no tour available in the afternoon? I felt that it has become increasingly difficult to enter Hanauma Bay lately. The driver was kind and stopped by Leonard's Kitchen for us on the way back.

早朝にハナウマ湾へ
まさかこんなに寒いとは思ってもみませんでした。
一回は海に入ったものの寒すぎてすぐにギブ。
魚もほとんど見当たらなくめちゃショック。
過去に訪れた時はお昼からだったので暖かかったのか魚もたくさんいて楽しめたのに！
お昼からのツアーは無いのでしょうか？
最近はますますハナウマ湾に入るのが難しくなってきてることを実感しました。
ドライバーの方は親切で帰りにカハラモールにあるレナーズキッチンカーに寄ってもらいました。

We were the only Japanese couple, so we received dedicated care from a Japanese female guide, which allowed us to enjoy the experience without any worries. We were very satisfied with both the kayaking and snorkeling. She took many photos for us, and by the time we returned to the hotel, they had already been sent to us.

Before we left, she also provided information about a nearby Japanese-owned coffee plantation, making it a wonderful day. Thank you very much.

日本人は我々夫婦だけだったので、日本人女性ガイドさんに専属でケアして頂き、全く不安なく楽しめました。カヤックもシュノーケリングも大満足。写真もたくさん撮って頂き、ホテルに戻る頃にはもう送って下さってました。
帰り際に近くの日本人経営の珈琲園情報も教えて頂き、とても良い一日となりました。
有難うございました。

This trip to the sandbar was excellent. The company has the day very well planned for guests so that you don’t have to worry about anything other than relaxing.

Here are all the pros:
Pick up and drop off from Waikiki available
Lunch provided
Paddle board and kayak use included
Nice sun deck set up
Friendly staff
Great music for the trip to and from

Overall, excellent experience and I’m glad I didn’t miss it.

Just considering the line of cars waiting from early morning and the queue for entry, you can already see the value of the tour. There’s no competition for reservations, making it easy to plan. Additionally, there are some insider tips, and the specialists share insights about the highlights and features of Hanauma Bay that we would never discover or experience on our own. For those who are familiar with Hanauma Bay and may visit multiple times in the future, I highly recommend experiencing this at least once. The ocean is truly wonderful, as are the two of you. Until we meet again, mahalo.

早朝から順番待ちの車の列と、入園待ちの列を考えたら、それだけでもツアーの価値が分かります。予約争奪戦も有りませんので、予定が立てやすい。更に裏ワザがちらほらあり、見どころスポやハナウマ湾の特徴などの、スペシャリストだから知る物を教えて下さり、私たちだけ頑張っても決して分からない、体験出来ない経験です。ハナウマ湾へ行きなれた、これからも複数回行くかも知れない人は、1度体験をオススメします。とても素晴らしい海とお二人です。またお会いする日までマハロ

beautiful day on the sand bar with great music and organization with tons of activities included (kayaking, paddle board, snorkeling). felt very safe even with two small kids in the open ocean. highly recommend for families!

On the round-trip boat, there was a lively atmosphere with live music. While playing with the SPU and canoe, the staff amusingly helped pull us back when we were about to drift out of the safe zone, allowing us to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. During snorkeling, we were given food to attract the colorful tropical fish, and we were able to enjoy the beautiful waters of Hawaii.

往復の船の中では、雰囲気満点の生演奏。
SPUやカヌーで遊んでいて、風で安全区域から出そうになると係の方々が面白おかしく、引き戻し助けてくださり、安心して遊ぶ事ができました。
シュノーケリングでは、餌を持たせてもらい、色とりどりの南国の魚達が側に集まって、美しいハワイの海を楽しむことが出来ました。

The sea, kayaking, and snorkeling were all amazing.

Thanks to the attentive Japanese guide, I was able to enjoy everything without any stress.

I definitely want to go again!

海もカヤックもシュノーケルもすべてが最高でした

日本人ガイドさんの細やかな対応あり、無理なく楽しむことができました

また是非いきたいです

Knowledge guide. Showed us landmark’s and had great snorkeling.

Great experience family 1st time snorkeling guide funny and made you feel comfortable in the water

It was possible to apply on the day, and I was looking for something that was quick and reasonably priced. We were the only Japanese people there, which made us a bit anxious, but it turned out to be a fun time! I was really happy to see the dolphins up close!

当日の申込みでも可能で、短時間、価格も手頃なものを探していました。
日本人は、私たちだけで、少し不安もありましたが、楽しいひとときどした！
そして、本当にイルカを間近で見ることができて嬉しかったです！

Thank you for your support.
We went to Hawaii as a family to celebrate my 88-year-old mother's birthday.
Ten years ago, my mother joined us on a trip, and this time she wanted to try parasailing.
Given her age, we were concerned about whether she could handle it, so we researched and found experience photos on the website featuring people of a similar age, which reassured us, and we made the reservation.
The staff at the reception were friendly and accommodating, which eased our worries as we boarded the boat.
The crew on board were also very kind and attentive to safety, allowing for a reassuring flight.
As expected, the strong winds provided a refreshing view at 150 meters in a short time, and my 88-year-old mother was extremely happy and satisfied with the experience.
Our family prepared a waterproof camera and a GoPro to take photos and videos, but due to the boat's rocking, some of the shots didn't turn out well.
Additionally, it seemed that another passenger wanted a commemorative photo but hadn't requested it in advance. I think it would be good to have a pre-announcement or to have continuous photography on board, checking for purchase options upon return.
Thank you very much.

88歳の母のお祝い記念で家族でハワイに行きました。
10年前に一緒に行った母が今回パラセイリングにチャレンジを希望
88歳の高齢でもあり心配をしチャレンジできるかを調査、Webサイトの体験写真に同年代らしき写真があり問題ないと判断し申し込みました。
窓口スタッフの方も新設にフレンドリーに対応していただき心配もなく乗船、
船上スタッフの方も大変親切に安全に気を使っていただき安心にフライト、
当然ですが強い風の勢いで短時間に150メートル爽快な眺めと体験したことのない感覚で88歳の母も大変喜んで満足しました。
私たち家族は防水カメラ、GOProカメラ等を準備し写真やビデオを撮りましたが船上の揺れ等で少しうまく撮れていませんでした。
また同乗した方は記念写真が欲しかったようで事前にスタッフに希望していなかったようでした。事前アナウンスをされるか、常時船上から撮影をし戻った時に購入の有無を確認するやり方もいいのかなと思いました
大変ありがとうございました

I cannot express how grateful I am for Dan and this snorkel tour! My son is autistic and was struggling with understanding the equipment and started to panic. Dan very calmly and kindly took him under his wing. Before we knew it, my son was the leader of the pack! I even got a little seasick and Dan (without judgment) helped me back to the beach to rest. He also picked us up at our hotel and was so easy to talk to and open to any questions we had. I would 100% do this tour again! Thanks Dan!

You can enjoy a beautiful sea as far as the eye can see. Since life jackets are provided, both adults and children can play safely. The fact that boats and stand-up paddleboards (SUP) are available for free is also a great attraction.

見渡す限りのきれいな海が堪能できます。救命具をつけるので大人から子供まで安心して遊べます。ボートやSUPが無料で使えるのも魅力です。

I had fun doing kayaking, SUP, and snorkeling. My niece was a little afraid but the lifeguard on duty was so nice. She even left her use the lifeguard belt thingy. Also the guy who was watching out for everyone who strayed too far past the yellow border for SUP was amazing. Sorry we couldn’t get the hang of it! Go earlier the better. The tide is lower. Consider this when thinking of what you’d like to do.

It was a great time captain and mate was great def made our experience twice as fun

It rises up to 150 meters, and there is a sense of tension until that moment, but the fear lasts only for an instant. The view from up high is amazing. My husband, who has a fear of heights, also enjoyed it. There was stability without any significant swaying in the air. You are instructed to put away your phone, but if you're confident you won't drop it, you could probably take it up with you. (I didn't do that, though.) The moving boat does sway, so motion sickness medication is a must!

150mまで上昇、その瞬間まで緊張感はありますが、怖いと思うのは一瞬だけ。高いところからの景色が最高です。
高所恐怖症の夫も楽しめていました。
空中で大きく揺れることもなく安定感がありました。
ケータイを仕舞うように指示されますが、落とさない自信があるなら空まで持って行けそうです。
（私はしませんでしたが）
移動の船は揺れるので、酔い止め必須です！

This was my first time participating. I was worried about the check-in since I can't speak English, but the staff member helped me, and I was able to check in without any issues. There are also Japanese guidelines available.

Everyone goes barefoot on the boat, so wearing beach sandals or sneakers is fine. We brought a waterproof phone case to keep our money and card keys, but there was space under the benches on the boat for luggage, so some people participated with bags or backpacks (though they might get wet).

The boat moves at quite a speed, so depending on the wave height, it can jump and there can be quite a jolt. If you are prone to seasickness, I think it's safer to take motion sickness medication.

The start is on the boat, but since you will be landing in the water, I think it's better to have a towel if you're concerned. We dried off quite a bit on the way back to the boarding area.

The photo data was provided on an SD card and iPhone for about $40 for around 100 pictures, and after disembarking, we were able to view the photos and decide whether to purchase them.

The activity itself was an extraordinary experience and very enjoyable! The color of the ocean and the view of Honolulu were beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone interested.

初めて参加しました。
英語が話せないのでチェックインから心配していましたが、店員のお姉さんに声をかけていただき無事にできました。日本語の規約もあります。
船上で全員裸足になるのでビーチサンダルでもスニーカーでも問題ありません。
私たちは防水の携帯ケースにお金やカードキーを入れて持っていきましたが、船のベンチの下に荷物を入れるスペースがあったので、鞄やリュックで参加されている方もいました。(濡れる可能性はあります。
船はかなりのスピードで進むので、波の高さによっては船がジャンプしたり結構衝撃がありました。船酔いしやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだ方が安心だと思います。
スタートは船上ですが、着水するので気になる方はタオルがあった方が良いと思います。乗船場に帰る間に結構乾きました。
写真のデータはSDカードとiPhoneに入れてもらって40$100枚くらいで、下船後に写真を見せてもらって購入するか決められました。
アクティビティ自体は非日常体験でとても楽しかったです！海の色とホノルルの景色がとても綺麗でした。興味ある方にはぜひお勧めしたいです。

The guidance was very kind, and luckily, I was able to see turtles! I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance for those who are prone to seasickness! The water was murkier than I expected, and there were fewer fish. The view from above was spectacular! Thank you! ^_^

とても親切に案内してくださり、ラッキーなことに亀が見れました！！
波酔いする方は事前に酔い止めを飲むことをおすすめします！
思っていたよりも水が濁っていて魚は少なかったです！
上から見る景色は絶景でした！
ありがとうございました^_^

My family and I loved the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure. There was something for everyone to do. We also just enjoyed sitting on the water couch watching everyone else enjoy themselves. The staff was super friendly and helpful!

This trip was so much fun! All of the staff was so friendly and helpful! You really felt like royalty enjoying the island. The music on the way out to the sand bar had the whole boat singing and dancing. The SUP's and floating lounge were an awesome, not extra cost addition to the adventure. Looking forward to our next journey with this awesome crew!

It wasn't as scary as I thought, and the scenery was amazing. There was someone in the same group who got sick. The boat sways quite a bit, so it's better to take motion sickness medication. Although I didn't get sick, there were others who looked unwell. It seems customary to give a tip when getting off the boat. I was disappointed when I was told that they couldn't take my photo because the camera battery died.

思ったよりも怖くなく景色が最高でした。
同じグループで吐いてしまった人がいました。
船がかなり揺れるので、酔い止めは飲んだ方がいいです。吐いてはいないけれど他にも気分が悪そうな人がいました。
船を降りる時にチップを渡すのが普通みたいです。
写真を頼んでいたのに、カメラのバッテリー切れで撮れなかったと言われた時は残念でした。

Crew was entertaining and extremely helping in making the trip safe and fun, wil book again on our next trip

We participated as a group of three.
First, the boat ride to the point had high waves, which added to the thrill of the attraction.
I didn't expect all three of us to ride together, so I was a bit flustered. It was nice to know that we could hold our smartphones while jumping, and the footage we captured became a great memory.
Since it was a windy day, two out of the three of us got seasick. Please be careful about the position of the belt, as it can get uncomfortable.
It was a fun experience that you don't get to have often.

３人で参加しました。
まずポイントに行くまでのボートも波が高くてアトラクション感がありました。
３人で同時に乗れるとは思ってなかったので少し慌てました。スマホを持って飛んでもいいとの事で飛び上がって撮った映像が良い記念になりました。
この日は風が強かったため３人中２人が船酔いしました。苦しくなるのでベルトの位置に注意して下さい。
なかなか出来ない経験なので楽しかったです。

One of the best experiences I have ever had. We have snorkeled and saw so many fishes. Like the crystal clean water and kayaking ., what else ., a complete package with live music and drink.
