All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

The guidance was in English, but there were no issues. I was able to see dolphins and honu (sea turtles). Departing from the Sheraton beach made the travel easy.

Aloha! Do not hesitate to book this excursion! Everything about this experience exceeded my expectations. The staff were all so gracious and professional. Pack plenty of water and snacks. We took our waterproof , bluetooth speaker as well. Be prepared to paddle , take breaks when needed . Be aware of jellyfish as well. Maybe wear long sleeves, and leggings just to be cautious. Mahalo

I participated in snorkeling and relaxing at a beautiful beach. After arriving at the shop, I received explanations and safety instructions from the staff member Natsue, and then quickly rented a bicycle along with an optional snorkeling set and mat to head to Lanikai Beach, which has been ranked number one in the U.S. It took about 10 minutes by bike. The beach was quiet with few people, and it was truly beautiful. While snorkeling, I was able to see many tropical fish around the coral even close to the shore. Unfortunately, I didn't encounter any honu (sea turtles), but it's said that you might see them if you're lucky.

I spent the morning at Lanikai Beach and returned to the shop for lunch. From the lunch options, I chose pizza and loco moco. The pizza was very large and delicious.

In the afternoon, I rented a beach chair and went to Kailua Beach. This beach had facilities like showers and restrooms, and there were families enjoying the seawater. I placed my beach chair in the shade of the trees along the shore and relaxed while occasionally going into the water until it was time to head back.

If you have any questions while you're there, you can ask the staff member Natsue, and she will help you. Fortunately, the weather was also great, and I had a wonderful time. I recommend this place for those who want to enjoy a quiet and beautiful beach.

綺麗なビーチでシュノーケリング＆のんびりしたく参加しました。
お店に到着後、スタッフのなつえさんから説明や注意事項を聞き、すぐに自転車とオプションのシュノーケリングセット、ゴザを借り全米で一番になったこともあるラニカイビーチへ。自転車で１０分ほどです。人も少なく、静かで本当に綺麗なビーチでした。シュノーケリングをしましたが、海岸近くでも珊瑚の周りに熱帯魚を沢山見ることが出来ました。残念ながらホヌ（海亀）には出会うことは出来ませんでしたが、運が良ければ出会えるそうです。

午前中をラニカイビーチで過ごし、お店に戻りランチ。選べるランチの中からピザとロコモコを選びました。ピザはとても大きく美味しかったです。

午後はビーチチェアを借りてカイルアビーチへ。こちらはシャワーやトイレなどの設備があり家族連れで海水浴される方がいらっしゃいました。
海岸の木陰にビーチチェアを置き、時々海に入りながら、帰りの時間までのんびりと過ごしました。

現地で分からないことがあれば、スタッフのなつえさんに聞けば解決できました。
運良く天気にも恵まれ楽しめました。
静かで綺麗なビーチで遊びたい方にはお勧めです。

It was a condensed plan! The Kaneohe Bay cruise included a shuttle bus to the boat, which was an activity in itself, and it felt refreshing with the windows wide open. We rode on two types of boats, walked on the island, and the sea was beautiful. We were able to see coral reefs and honu in the shallow waters, and everywhere we looked was a photo opportunity; it was all so beautiful and thoroughly enjoyable.

The movie location bus tour had us boarding at the end, so our family of four ended up sitting separately... But in a way, it allowed us to interact with tourists from overseas. There was only one other Japanese group besides us.

The bus driver and guide performed a hula dance at the end, and it was incredibly moving! Even without a costume, there was an instant beautiful aura. I felt that this dance was a prayer.

My teenage son said he wants to experience something more active next time, like horseback riding or buggies, but my grandmother in her 70s was very happy with everything. We also bought the photos taken before the tour as a keepsake on our way back. I highly recommend it.

凝縮されたプランでした!
カネオヘ湾クルーズは、船までの送迎バスもアクテビティのひとつ、窓全開で爽快でした。船も2種類に乗り、島を歩くし、海も綺麗、浅瀬ではサンゴ礁やホヌも見ることができて、道中、どこをとっても、全ての景色がフォトチャンス、綺麗で、大満喫でした。
映画ロケ地バスツアーは、最後に並んで乗り込んでしまったので、家族4人がばらばらの相席に‥。それもそれで、海外からの観光客と、交流できたように思います。日本人は、私たちの他に1組だけいらっしゃいました。
バスのドライバー兼ガイドさんが、最後に、フラを踊ってくれたのですが、その踊りが、大変感動的でした！衣装をきてなくても、一瞬で美しいオーラに。この踊りは祈りなんだなと、感じました。
10代の息子は次は、馬とかバギーとかアクティブなものを体験したいと言ってましたが、70代の祖母は、どれも大変喜んでました。ツアー前に撮ってもらった写真も、帰りに記念に買ってきました。お勧めです。

It's an early morning tour, so snorkeling starts at 9 AM. Even in Hawaii, it's cold. It was that cold in June, so winter will be even colder. If possible, a thin wetsuit is recommended; if not, a long-sleeve rash guard is essential. Also, please make sure to wear marine shoes in areas with lots of fish. Additionally, no Japanese is spoken at all, and all pickup locations and times are in English, so those who can't speak English might want to reconsider.

I checked the tide chart and made a reservation to go, but the water level was about knee-high, so I went snorkeling. It was a bit murky, but I was able to see tropical fish swimming. The weather was a little bad, so it was a bit cold. The staff were friendly.

潮見表で確認して予約して行きましたが、ひざ上ぐらいの水位があったのでシュノーケリングをしました。少し濁り気味でしたが熱帯魚が泳いでいるようすは見れました。ちょっと天候が悪かったので少し寒かったです。スタッフさんは親切でした。

Great tour guide, was funny and knowledgeable. Only problem was that the waters were murky from the waves at the time so weren’t able to see anything through the glass but we did see a turtle in the water. Was nice to be out on the boat.

Wow! What an awesome afternoon spent on the sandbar! The staff are wonderful, the location is breathtaking, the activities endless!! Just book it! You won’t regret it. Memories that I will treasure forever!

The whole experience was top quality.
The staff, the safety and the activity.
We had a blast.

I was really looking forward to coming to Kualoa Ranch since I've watched the Jurassic Park series countless times with my son. After arriving in Hawaii, I finally made it to this dream destination. The moment I saw the movie scenery in person, I was so moved that I got goosebumps! Not only from the Jurassic series, but also from movies like "50 First Dates," which I had watched without knowing it was filmed here, and "Kong," which I saw on the ANA flight. I was constantly surprised to find that many movies I had seen were filmed at Kualoa Ranch. As a movie lover, it was truly a blissful time.

The lunch buffet included in the tour was hearty and quite delicious. The spare ribs, in particular, were very satisfying. Considering that one meal is included, the tour price felt like a great deal. Dining while overlooking Hawaii's great nature was wonderful.

In the afternoon, you can enjoy two types of cruises: one on the lake (or pond?) and one at sea. The weather turned a bit bad during the sea cruise, but seeing Kualoa Ranch from the ocean was impressive and reminiscent of the opening scene from the first Jurassic Park. Although the cruise wasn't very long, it was enough to fully enjoy Hawaii's natural beauty.

Kualoa Ranch offers various plans, but I highly recommend this one!

ジュラシックパークのシリーズを何度となく息子と見てきたので、クアロアランチに来るのを本当に楽しみにしていました。ハワイに到着し、いよいよ憧れの地へ。映画の風景を目の当たりにした瞬間は鳥肌が立つくらい感動しました！ジュラシックシリーズだけでなく、ここがロケ地だと知らずに見ていた映画「50回目のファーストキス」、行きのANAの飛行機の中で見た映画「コング」など、見たことがあるたくさんの映画のロケがクアロアランチで行われていて、「おー！」と驚いてばかり。映画好きとしては、本当に至福の時間でした。

ツアーに含まれているランチビュッフェはボリューム満点で、味もなかなか美味しかったです。特にスペアリブが食べ応えがあります。1回の食事が含まれていると思うと、ツアー代金がお得に感じます。ハワイの大自然を眺めながらの食事は素敵でした。

午後のクルーズは湖（池？）と海の2種類のクルーズが楽しめます。海のクルーズの途中で少し天気が悪くなってきたのですが、海から見るクアロアランチは迫力があり、最初のジュラシックパークの冒頭シーンを彷彿させます。時間としてはそれほど長くありませんが、ハワイの自然を満喫するのには十分でした。

クアロアランチには色々なプランがありますが、このプランはお勧めです！

Amazing sandbar experience! We did this before but this time, we had the best sandbar tour, service and music…. Very relaxing and roomy boat.. so glad they had a changing room and separate bathrooms. Best part was the Hawaiian LIVE music, and kayaking, paddle boarding and snorkeling.

I started looking for SUP lessons because my mother said she wanted to try it. We decided on a one-hour lesson in Waikiki, which had no age restrictions and offered several time slots.

A Japanese-speaking instructor provided thorough explanations, and we had one instructor for the two of us as we entered the water. They gave us instructions at our own pace, and even though it was my first time, I was able to stand and paddle.

They also pointed out that turtles were swimming nearby, and we got to see them up close!

Even as beginners, it was a safe and enjoyable experience, and my mother said she wanted to participate again.

母がSUPやってみたいと言ったことがきっかけで探しました。そして、レッスン1時間、ワイキキ、年齢制限なし、時間帯がいくつか選べることが魅力で決めました。
日本語ができる方が丁寧に説明してくれて、私たち2名に対して1名の講師がついて海に入りました。
日本語交えて自分たちのペースに合わせて指示をくださり、私も初めてでしたが立って進むことが出来ました。
近くを亀が泳いでいることも教えてくださり、間近で見ることができました！

初めてでも安心安全で、母がまた参加したいと言うほどとても楽しい時間でした。

I made a reservation for the morning of the last day. Since it was a trip with my son, I wanted to find something memorable, so I looked for an optional tour that fit well with our schedule. At first, I was worried about how high we would go. It seemed high, but perhaps because the view was so nice, the feeling of pleasure outweighed the fear. I recommend trying it at least once. The staff were also kind and helpful. Thank you!

最終日の午前中の時間を利用して前日に予約を入れました。
息子との2人旅行でしたので何か思い出に残りそうなものをと思ってオプショナルツアーを探しましたところ時間的にもちょうど良いツアーでした。
最初はどれくらいの高さまでいくのだろうと心配しておりました。高いと思いましたが景色が良いせいか、怖さより気持ち良さの方が勝りました。
一度やってみるのもおすすめです。
スタッフの方も親切で助かりました。
ありがとうございました！

It was a tour in March, but the response from the Japanese staff on board, especially their commanding tone and seemingly angry way of speaking, was not acceptable. While I understand that the weather and sea temperature are beyond control, I regret paying the price for this level of service. I often use overseas tours, but I felt a significant difference in quality this time.

3月のツアーでしたが、船上の日本人スタッフの対応、特に命令調な言い方や怒ったような言い方が納得行くものではなかったです。天気や海水温は仕方ありませんが、この対応はそれなりの料金を払ったことに後悔しています。良く海外ツアーは利用しますが、当たりハズレの差を感じました。

I visited Hanauma Bay with my wife when we were newly married, and this time I went with my son. It seems to have become cleaner due to the visitor limit for nature conservation compared to the past! Although we didn't see any sea turtles, the guide was friendly and we had a great time! Thank you!

結婚したての時に妻と一緒に行ったハナウマベイですが、今回は息子と一緒に行きました。
昔に比べ自然保護の観点から人数制限されてキレイになったように感じました！
ホヌには会えませんでしたがガイドさんも気さくで楽しめました！
ありがとうございました！

The crews were super nice and I had great experiences!! I am sure I will come back to this adventure!

This time, I participated with my 5-year-old daughter and my parents in their 70s. The weather was a bit cloudy, but when we arrived at the sandbar, it was sunny! We even saw sea turtles! Although we couldn't see the beach, the water was up to the adults' waists, so my daughter could stand and we had a lot of fun snorkeling and kayaking! The lifeguards were very kind (and they spoke Japanese fluently!). My parents, who didn't go into the water, were also taken on a boat ride around the area, and we were delighted by their generous spirit to entertain us. It was the best experience that will remain a lifelong memory!

今回は5歳の娘と70代の両親を含む家族で参加しました。
お天気はちょっと曇りがかってましたが、サンドバーにつくと晴天！ウミガメも見えましたよ～！
砂浜までは見えませんでしたが、海が大人の腰辺りまでになっていて、娘も足がついたのでシュノーケリングやカヌーなど沢山遊べました！ライフセーバーの方たちもすごく優しかったです。（日本語もペラペラ！）海に入らない両親たちもボートに乗せてくれて周辺を一周してくれたり、私達を楽しませようとするサービス精神がたっぷりで嬉しかったです。
一生の思い出に残る最高の体験ができました！

The staff go above and beyond to ensure you have a wonderful time seeing Waikiki from the water and relaxing on their beautiful boat. They also had drinks available, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

I participated alone.
I don't speak much English, but they explained things clearly, so I was able to understand in English.
I was taught how to do it on land and then headed straight to the sea!
I'm very satisfied!
It's a bit pricey, but I'm glad I had photos and videos taken as memories.
The two hours were quite intense, but it was really fun!

1人で参加しました
私はあんまり英語は話せないけど分かりやすく教えてくれるので英語でも理解できました
陸でやり方を教えてもらってそのまんま海へと向かいました！
とても満足度が高いです！
少し高いけど写真動画もプラスで撮ってもらって思い出が形に残って良かったなと思います！
2時間結構ハードだけどすごい楽しかったです

Perfect for the entire family!
Everyone is so friendly and encouraging! A must do adventure with the family!

I participated in the afternoon session.
- The live music on the boat was very pleasant, and the atmosphere was great as participants started dancing.
- I added both the banana boat and the bumper tube. The speed was something you can't experience in Japan. It was so much fun that I screamed so much I lost my voice the next day.
- There are various activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding, so you won't get bored.
- The light snack was a sandwich.
- You could also purchase alcohol separately, which allowed me to enjoy a drink with friends after playing.
- There was a tour guide who spoke Japanese, which was very reassuring. (I'm not sure if they are there every time.)
- The weather wasn't very good, so I wish I could have gone on a sunnier day.
- It seems that the timing for the sandbar varies by season, so if you want to see the sandbar, it's better to check the timing and decide whether to join in the morning or afternoon. We were in the afternoon, so we couldn't see the sandbar.
- There were many families, and I think it's a tour that children can enjoy as well.

午後の部に参加しました。
・船での生演奏はとても心地よく参加者の方が踊り始めたりととても良い雰囲気でした。
・バナナボートとバンパーチューブどちらも追加しました。日本じゃ味わえない速さです。叫びすぎて次の日声が枯れるくらい楽しかったです。
・シュノーケリングやサップ等の様々な遊びができるので飽きることがありません。
・軽食はサンドウィッチでした。
・お酒も別途購入することができて遊んだ後に友達とゆっくりお酒を楽しむこともできました。
・日本語ができる添乗員さんもいたのでとても安心でした。（毎回参加しているのかは分かりません）
・あまり天候が良くなかったのでもっと天気のいい日に行きたかったなと思います。
・サンドバーは時期によって時間帯が違うみたいなのでサンドバーに出会いたい方は時間帯をチェックしてから午前か午後に参加するかを決めたほうがいいです。私達は午後だったのでサンドバーをみることはできませんでした。
・家族連れの方も多く、子供も楽しめるツアーだと思います。

This is a fun ride. A great way to enjoy the waves in Hawaii. Russell was a great captain and made it an enjoyable experience. Worth every penny we paid. Will have to come back and do it again.

Went with a family of 7. Everything was smooth sailing no pun intended. This trip is a Hawaii must! Very family oriented. They played soft calming music while serving fresh drinks and donuts. Once there you have the option to paddle board, snorkel (you can bring your own or they provide it free of charge) or just swim and lounge on a floating lounge area they have already there for guests. Water was crystal clear and fishes were everywhere near the reef. Water might be a little chilly for little ones just a heads up but all dependent on the weather but definitely doable.

スノーケリングセットと送迎の金額としては妥当に思う。
マスク用曇り止めを持っていく方がより楽しめる。
時間は7時から12時半までとたっぷり楽しめる。
朝イチで入れるので、人がいない状態の写真が撮りやすい。

Miles was great, made it safely to all areas. We are novice kayakers and did just fine out in the open ocean. Great experience!

This was my first time booking, and I chose the option with transportation. They clearly communicated the pickup location with photos beforehand, and I was concerned about my valuables while having fun, but they managed everything properly, allowing me to enjoy myself without worries. On the way to the sandbar, I was able to listen to some lovely songs. It gets quite cold after coming out of the sea, so a jacket or towel is necessary. The sandbar was not as shallow as I expected on the day, but I was truly impressed by the beauty of the sea. Both snorkeling and the banana boat were a lot of fun, and it's a place that everyone should experience at least once. There were staff members who spoke Japanese very well, making for a truly enjoyable time. I highly recommend this option.

今回、初めて申し込みをし、送迎付きにしましたが、事前にピックアップの場所を写真付きで分かりやすく連絡くださったり、遊んでいる間の貴重品も気になってましたが、きちんと管理してくださり、不安なく過ごせるように配慮して下さって安心して楽しむことができました。サンドバ―に向かってる間は素敵な歌を聴くこともできました。海からあがると、どうしても寒いので、上着やタオルは必要です。サンドバ―は当日は思ってたよりも、浅めではありませんでしたが、とにかく海の綺麗さに感動で、シュノーケルも、バナナボートも、とっても楽しく、一度は必ず体験してもらいたい場所です。日本語がとても上手なスタッフもいて、本当に楽しい時間でした。オススメのオプションです

Everything was quick and easy. The staff was great and the experience was awesome. I look forward to coming back in time.

It was explained in English, and I was able to experience it without any issues. The people were very friendly, and I made some great memories! However, if you are prone to motion sickness, it's definitely a good idea to take some anti-nausea medication. Not only on the boat, but also while parasailing, it can sway due to the wind.

英語での説明でしたが、問題なく体験することができました。
とてもフレンドリーな方たちでとてもいい思い出が出来ました！
ただ、酔いやすい方は必ず酔い止めを飲んでいった方がいいです。船の上だけでなく、パラセーリングしている最近も風などで揺れたりするので

Sailing on a yacht anchored at Waikiki Beach.

Once we headed out to sea, we turned off the engine and sailed with the sails, which felt amazing. When we rode over the waves, it was thrilling, like a roller coaster! Luckily, we encountered sea turtles and dolphins.

We participated as a couple who are not very good at English, but once we were on the yacht, we managed just fine. We were the only Japanese people there, and since the explanations and check-in were all in English, we felt a bit anxious. However, we got by with our broken English, gestures, and Google Translate. On the boat, you can buy juice and alcohol, but only with cash.

There were a few people who got seasick, so if you're sensitive to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication.

When disembarking, you can buy photos taken when you boarded the boat. They were $30 each. Definitely a great memory of the trip!

ワイキキビーチに停泊しているヨットでのセーリングです。

沖に出ると、エンジンを止め帆走になり、とても気持ち良いです。波を乗り越える時は、ジェットコースターの様で迫力満点でした！運良く、ウミガメやイルカに出会いました。

英語が苦手な夫婦で参加しましたが、ヨットに乗ってしまえば何とかなります。日本人は私達だけで、説明や受付も英語だけなので、少し不安でしたが、カタコト英語とジェスチャー、グーグル翻訳で何とかなりました。船の上では、現金のみですがジュースやお酒を買うことができます。

船酔いしている人も何人かいましたので、船に弱い方は酔い止めを飲んだ方がよいかも、、

下船時に乗船した時に撮影した写真を買うことが出来ます。１枚30ドルでした。 旅の思い出に是非。

My husband and I, along with our 19 & 15 year old daughters, thoroughly enjoyed the Sacred Falls adventure. Kayaking up the river was peaceful and beautiful as the river is very calm. The hike was fun with some scrambling over rocks and roots and wading through streams. We enjoyed eating lunch by the waterfall before trekking back. Our guide, Izzy, was fantastic - super easy to be around, very encouraging, and she grave great beach/dining suggestions at the end. We loved it!
