All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

We had no trouble even with our limited English skills. We rented an umbrella as an option, but it was difficult to set up due to the strong wind. When we rented on-site, the staff helped us set it up properly. The water at Hanauma Bay was definitely clearer and more beautiful than in Waikiki. Our child was very happy to see many different types of fish.

英語力のない私達でも不自由はありませんでした。オプションでパラソルを借りましたが、風が強く設置が大変でした。現地で借りるとスタッフがしっかりと設置してくれていました。ハナウマの海はワイキキより断然透明で美しかったです。子供はたくさんの種類の魚を見ることができ、とても喜んでいました。

There is a reception area at the entrance of Aloha Port Harbor. It's number 61.

There was staff who could speak a little Japanese. The local people teach the basic fishing techniques in English.

We used squid as bait and dropped weights to the seabed to fish. If there were no bites, the captain would move the boat to find a new spot.

I had three incredibly strong bites, but they got away. I'm not sure what kind of fish they were.

It seems that any fish caught are generally released. They didn't cook them on the spot, but they could tell us the types and names of the fish.

The children who love fishing were having a great time.

The boat sways quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is essential. The sun is also strong, so sunscreen is a must.

It was refreshing to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from a different angle.

アラワイポートハーバの入り口に受付場所があります。61番です。

日本語を、わずかに話せるスタッフがいました。
基本的な釣りの手技は現地の人が英語で教えてくれます。

イカを餌にオモリを海底まで垂らして釣るというものでした。当たりがないと船長さんが船を移動させてスポットを探してくれます。

とてつもなく引きの強いアタリが、3度ほどありましたが逃げられてしまいました。何の魚だったのかは不明です。

釣れた魚は基本的にリリースするようです。その場で調理することはありませんでした。しかし魚の種類や名前は教えてもらえます。

釣り好きの子供達は楽しんでおりました。


船はかなり揺れますので酔い止めは、必須です。
日差しも強あので日焼け止めも必須です。

いつもと違う角度からワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドが見られるのでその点も新鮮でした。

We enjoyed 15 minutes of live music on the boat and spent 2 hours playing in the shallow area. The captain and other staff were all cheerful and fun, and the live music added to the great atmosphere. Although the weather was cloudy, the water wasn't cold, and we had plenty of activities to enjoy. It seemed difficult to get there on our own, so we opted for the shuttle service to the hotel.

生演奏付きの船で15分、遠浅のエリアで2時間遊びました。
キャプテンやその他のスタッフがみんな陽気で楽しく、生演奏も雰囲気が良かったです。
お天気が曇りだったのですが、水も冷たくなくたっぷりアクティビティを楽しめました。
自力で行くのは難しそうだったので、ホテルまでの送迎をオプションで付けました。

Since I was staying at Hilton, the meeting place was close, making it easy to participate.

The breeze felt special on the boat, it was pleasant, and the scenery was amazing! I was very satisfied to encounter a honu (sea turtle).

ヒルトンに宿泊していたので、集合場所も近くて、気軽に参加できました。

船で感じる風は特別で、気持ちよく、景色も最高！
ホヌにも出会えて、大満足でした。

I didn't expect to line up for tickets on the day instead of making a reservation online. However, since I was able to go as planned, I am mostly satisfied.

Considering the timing, it was just right to have an 11 AM pickup with my 6 and 9-year-old children. The person in charge provided various explanations and guidance throughout the car ride. Other Japanese guests were using translation apps, but since I didn't use one, I only understood parts of the conversation. I wish I had downloaded the app. My children had a very enjoyable time and it seems to have left a lasting impression on them. They said they want to go see the fish again.

ネット予約でチケットとっているのではなく当日チケットに並ぶとは思っていませんでした。が予定通りに行けたのでほぼ満足です。
時間的には6歳9歳の子供がいたので11時ピックアップでちょうどよかったと思います。担当の方も車中ずーと色々と説明、案内してくださっていました。他の日本人は翻訳アプリで聞いていましたが、翻訳アプリ使用しなかったので所々しかわからず。アプリを入れておけば良かったと思いました。子供たちにはとても楽しい時間になり印象に残ったようです。またお魚見に行きたいと行っています。

- We participated as a family of four: two adults and two children (ages 9 and 6).
- It's better to have at least a basic level of English conversation skills.
- We had the same driver for both trips. We gave a tip after getting off on the return trip.
- It was a bit chilly when we got to the beach, possibly due to the slightly bad weather. The children were shivering.
- Although we saw many fish in the shallow waters just a few meters from the beach, it wasn't very impressive.

・家族4人で参加。大人2、子供2(9歳,6歳)。
・日常会話程度の英語力はあった方がいい。
・往復同じドライバーさんだった。チップは復路の降車後に渡した。
・少し天気が悪かったせいか、浜に上がると少し寒かった。子供は震えていた。
・浜から数メートルの浅瀬にしては多くの魚が見れたが、感動はなかった。

It was a great tour, our guide was so informative and fun, I would recomend this tour 100%

(About the meeting place)
It was noted that we should arrive 30 minutes early, but I was a bit late. I mistakenly got off at the wrong bus stop and dashed over, but even being 2-3 minutes late didn’t seem to matter much.
*Since it’s a bit of a walk from the bus stop, I recommend allowing extra time.

(At the reception)
A girl in her late teens assisted me without checking any documents. After confirming my name on a tablet, I wrote my name in two places on the confirmation document and waited about 20 minutes on a bench. She was very pleasant. She warned me to be careful as the bench was hot from the sun.
*It might be a good idea to bring a pet bottle since there’s no supermarket nearby and there’s little shade where you wait.

(About the boat)
It’s a smaller boat that takes about 10-15 minutes to head out to sea.
*At first, it goes slowly, but midway it picks up speed unexpectedly, causing the boat to rock quite a bit, so I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication. Even holding onto the boat’s ramp, your body can feel weightless. In front of us, a boy who looked like he was in elementary school seemed to have gotten seasick, as he returned pale and lethargic.

(About luggage and photos)
There’s a hole under the boat seats where you’re instructed to put all your belongings. You can take out your phone to take photos and videos during the ride, but since it gets quite bumpy, it might be better to take them at the beginning.

(About parasailing)
You put on the equipment and life jacket and wait your turn. There are two people, one who operates the equipment and another who explains how to put it on. The person explaining was humorous and spoke to us in Japanese, which made it easy to enjoy. When they realized there were Japanese people, they spoke in Japanese after English, which was very kind of them.

Even a child in our group who seemed scared at first got used to it once we were up, and when they came down, they looked like they had a lot of fun, so I think it’s fine.

The only scary parts were getting out to sea on the boat and the moment of going up, but once you’re up, it’s totally fine! I was amazed by the blue of the ocean.

After going up, you can touch the sea. They take a lot of photos while you’re going up and coming down, so if you have time, you might want to pose.

(After finishing)
After it was over, they asked if I wanted to purchase the photos. They were a bit pricey, but I bought them as a keepsake. It was convenient as the photos were immediately available by connecting to a computer.

Since my body was wet, I walked for about 3 minutes to Waikiki Beach and swam right away.

（待ち合わせ場所について）
30分前には必着と注意書きにありましたが
少し遅れてしまいました。
バス停を一つ間違えてダッシュしましたが
2.3分遅れても、あまり気にしてない感じでした。
※バス停から少し歩くので余裕を持って行った方が
　良いと思います。

（受付）
女の子（10代後半位）が対応してくれて
書類も確認なしで、タブレットで名前確認をしたら
確認書類に名前を2箇所書いて、
20分くらいベンチで待ちました。
とても感じのいい子でした。
ベンチが日差しで暑いから気をつけてと言ってくれました。
※ペットバトル1本は持参した方が良いかも
（近くにスーパーがない、待つ所は日陰が少ない）

（船について）
小さめの船で10〜15分で、
沖の方に連れて行ってくれます。
※序盤はゆっくりだが、中盤からスピードが思いの外でて、船が上下してだいぶ揺れるので酔い止めは必ず飲むべきだと思います。
船のスロープをもっていても体が浮きます。
自分達の前の組で小学生位の男の子が、
恐らく酔ったのか、顔が青ざめてぐったりして帰ってきてました。

（荷物•写真などついて）
船の椅子の下に穴が空いてるのでそこに荷物全部入れるように指示があります。
携帯途中出して写真や動画撮影OKですが、揺れが強くなるので撮るなら最初の方に撮ったほうがいいかも。

（パラセーリングについて）

器具とライフジャケットをつけて順番を待ちます。
操縦してくれる人と説明器具装着をしてくれる人
２人で、説明•器具装着の人はユーモア交えて日本語で話しかけてくれるので安心して楽しめました。
日本人がいると分かると、英語の後日本語で話してくれるのでとても優しかったです。

同じグループの小学生位の子でも、最初は怖がっていたけどいざ上がったら慣れるので降りてきたら
とても楽しそうにしてたので大丈夫だと思います。


怖いのは船で沖に出るまでと、上に上がる瞬間位で
いざ上がれば全然平気でした！
海の青さに感動しました。

一度上まで上がった後、海につけられます。
上に上がるまでと降りるまで写真をたくさん撮ってくれるので、余裕があればポーズとってもいいかも

（終了後）

終わったら、写真を購入するか？ときかれます。
少し高いですが、記念で買いました。
パソコンから線を繋いですぐに写真が入るので便利でした。

体が濡れてたので、右の方に徒歩3分くらいでワイキキビーチにいけるのでそのまま泳ぎました。

I don’t usually leave reviews unless it’s a really terrible experience OR an AWESOME ONE! Let me just start by saying my group & I did this on Thursday and we booked to go back on Saturday!!! That’s how amazing the crew and the experience was! Worth every penny.
We had an 8 yr old and she was able to enjoy the water too it’s deff kid friendly.
You can take your cooler with beer, drinks and snacks. The water is crystal clear and only like 3-4 ft tall. Take cash to tip the crew and live band, they’re ALL so awesome!!

Everyone involved were fantastic. The crew on the boat were unreal and hilarious. Would highly recommend. Great bunch of people.

I was told there would be an English guide, but they used simple Japanese, so I was able to enjoy it without any problems. I'm glad I could try parasailing in Hawaii for the first time! The ocean was beautiful, and I could see Diamond Head clearly. They took a lot of photos for me (for $40), creating the best memories! I got more seasick than I expected, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be careful.

英語案内ということでしたが、片言の日本語を使ってくれたので特に問題なく楽しめました。
初めてのパラセーリングをハワイでできて良かったと思います！
海が綺麗で、ダイヤモンドヘッドがよく見えて、写真もたくさん撮ってくれて（40ドル）最高の思い出です！
思ったより船酔いしたので、酔いやすい方はご注意です。

I love Jurassic Park and have always wanted to visit this place. It all started when the theme song began to play on the bus! It was an English tour, but I always choose English tours no matter the country, and I really enjoy the friendly atmosphere with the other international guests. The guide was also proactive in taking photos, which made me, as a solo tour participant, very happy!

This tour is a must for both movie lovers and nature enthusiasts when visiting Hawaii.

ジュラシックパーク大好きでずっと行ってみたかった場所へ
バスの中であのテーマソングが流れ始めた所からスタート！！
英語ツアーでしたが、私はどこの国でも英語ツアーにしていて周りの外人さん達の和気あいあいな雰囲気が大好きです。
ガイドさんも率先して撮影して頂き、1人ツアー参加の私には本当に嬉しかったです！

大自然と撮影地、映画好きの方にも自然好きの方にもハワイへ来たら是非参加して欲しいツアーでした。

It was my first time parasailing. The weather was great, and the sea was beautiful—absolutely amazing! The boat ride was full of thrills. I want to do it again!

初めてのパラセイリングでした
天気も良く、海もキレイ最高でした
ボートもスリル満点
また、やりたい‼️

Show the app at the reception, sign the documents, and board barefoot. The Diamond Head is first visible on the right side from the stairs, and later on the left side. We saw humpback whales and sea turtles. The wind was strong, and my hat flew away. It was about a one and a half hour cruise.

受付でアプリを見せて書類にサインをして、裸足で乗船。階段から右側が最初にダイヤモンドヘッドが見え、左側が後からダイヤモンドヘッド側になります。
座頭鯨と海亀が見えました。
風が強く帽子は飛ばされます。
1時間半ぐらいのクルーズでした。

We decided to go to Hawaii for our honeymoon and booked parasailing through this site!

The small hut was a bit hard to find, but we arrived safely, and there were eight of us, including my husband and me! The others were all foreigners! The explanations were in English, so I didn't understand everything, but I got the gist of it (laughs).

It was a bit cloudy, which was a shame, but it felt amazing! The view of the Hawaiian sea was the best!

私たち以外は外国人の方でした！
英語での説明だったので何言ってるかは
分からなかったけど何となくで理解しました（笑）

ちょっと曇りだったのが残念ですが
とても気持ちよかったです！
ハワイの海を一望できて最高でした！

Our para sailing adventure at 9am with a party of five people was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, the captain and crew warmly welcomed us and made sure we were ready for an unforgettable experience. As we soared through the sky, the panoramic views were breathtaking, and the early morning light added an extra touch of magic to the scenery. The camaraderie among our group made the experience even more enjoyable, with laughter and excitement filling the air. The captain and crew were not only skilled professionals but also incredibly nice, ensuring that each member of our party felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire journey. I can't recommend this para sailing experience enough - it's the perfect way to start your day with adventure and unforgettable memories!

I participated with my 9-year-old child. On the day of the event, there were strong winds and high waves, which made the ride quite bumpy until we reached the point. My child was initially scared of the wind and the rocking, but in the end, it seemed like they gained a sense of accomplishment and really enjoyed it.

9歳の子供と参加しました。
当日は風が強く波が高かったこともあり、ポイントに着くまでかなり揺れました。子供はこの風と揺れに最初は怖がっていましたが、最終的にはやり遂げた満足感を得られたようで、とても楽しんでいました。

Absolutely one of my favorite things that we did. Our guide Micky was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I would recommend this to anyone. We saw some cool sea life and had the opportunity to hold some sea creatures.

Swaying in the wind, I enjoyed the view of the land and the sparkling surface of the sea from above, experiencing thrills and a sense of the extraordinary. It was incredibly pleasant and fun!

風に揺られ海の上から陸の風景やキラキラ光る海面を眺め、スリルもあり、非日常を味わえ最高に気もちよく楽しかったです‼

Just book it! The experience was incredible. The 1000 ft line is so high! We did the pics for an extra $40 and it was totally worth it.

Had so much fun! Micky was amazing; gave clear instructions and made us feel comfortable and safe! Great knowledge as well. Super beginner friendly! All the gears fit great. Highly recommend :)

We boarded in a group of five. We went out to sea while getting splashed with water. In the sky, we were hit by winds that tossed our bodies up, down, left, and right in an instant. From the ocean, it looked like a very elegant aerial stroll, carried by the refreshing breeze, but there was a big difference between watching and experiencing it. I had taken motion sickness medication beforehand, but it was still quite tough for the elderly couple. However, even for someone like me who is not good with heights, I felt no fear at all. Rather, I had such a valuable experience that I can say it was enjoyable.

５組のグループで乗船。水飛沫を受けながら沖の方まで行きました。上空では一瞬で体が上下左右に持って行かれるほどの風を受けました。沖から眺めていると爽やかな風に乗ってとっても優雅な空中散歩のように見えていましたが、見るとするのとでは大違い、前もって酔い止めを服用していましたがそれでも高齢者夫婦にはかなりしんどかったです。ただ高いところが苦手な私でも全く恐怖は覚えませんでした。むしろ楽しかったと思えるほどの貴重な体験をさせてもらいました。

The view of the sky was amazing! The staff was great too!
I had imagined flying, but I wasn't prepared for the boat ride to the point and being rocked by the boat while others were flying, so I got more seasick than I expected!
Taking motion sickness medication is a must.

空の景色最高！スタッフも最高！
ただ、飛ぶイメージはしていたけど、ポイントまで船が走ること、他の人が飛んでる間船に揺られていることの準備ができていなかったので想像以上に酔いました！！
酔い止め対策は必須です

The crew were nice and funny. The experience was fun, my wife loved it. Haven't get to check out the pictures yet since I have an android phone. The pictures are for an extra $40 and they give you the sd card.

Both instructors were friendly and I was able to warm up to them quickly. They provided a summary of the video content in Japanese before we entered the ocean, and it was clear that they genuinely love the nature of Hanauma Bay. It seemed like they were well-acquainted with the reception and traffic management staff, which added to my sense of security.

I have visited Hanauma Bay twice before as an individual, not for activities, but I think first-timers should definitely take advantage of this activity, and even those returning for a second time or more will find it enjoyable.

インストラクターのお二人とも親しみやすくて、すぐに打ち解けられました。海に入る前に観る映像の内容を事前に日本語で要約してくださって、またハナウマ湾の自然を心から愛していることが伝わってきました。受付や交通整理の人にも顔がきくようで、安心感もありました。
これまでハナウマ湾には2回アクティビティではなく個人で来たことがありましたが、初めての方はこちらのアクティビティを利用された方がいいと思いますし、2回目以降の方も楽しめると思います。

Even though I was overseas, time seemed to move on as usual here. Before getting on the boat at Kaneohe Bay, we encountered a heavy rainstorm, and I thought the trip might be canceled. However, we went ahead despite the rain. My umbrella, which was meant to be a sunshade, ended up being used mainly as a rain umbrella. It was so cold that I felt the chill was more overwhelming than the rain season itself.

It was really fun to have the tour guide take pictures of us at the movie filming locations!

海外なのに、此処はあえて時間通りに進んだ
カネオヘ湾のボートに乗る前に、凄い雨にあったので、中止？かと思いきや、雨の中、決行
日傘兼用なのに、主に雨傘となり雨季なのだ〜と思ったくらいかえって寒さの方が勝った位でした

映画撮影ポイントもツアーガイドさんにも写真を撮ってもらい本当にたのしかったで〜す

I was able to see incredibly beautiful scenery from the sky! On the day of the flight, the wind was very strong, which was quite scary, but it was a great experience. The staff at the reception spoke a little Japanese, but the crew on the boat did not speak any, so I didn't understand a single word of the explanation before the flight.

It was written in Japanese at the reception that you should tell the crew about the photo service once you get on the boat, but there wasn't really a good timing to mention it, and the group that didn't communicate anything missed out on getting their photos taken. We were giving off a strong "please take our photo" vibe, and just before we took off, the crew asked us, "Photo?" so we were able to request it somehow.

とっても綺麗な景色を空から見ることが出来ました！
当日は風がとても強く、かなり怖かったですがとてもいい体験ができました。
受付の方は少しだけ日本語が通じましたが船の添乗員さんは全くだったので、飛ぶ前の説明は一言も分かりませんでした。
写真のサービスは船に乗ったら添乗員さんに言ってくださいと受付に日本語で書いてありましたが、言うタイミングは特になく、何も伝えていなかったグループは撮ってもらえてなかったです。
私たちは撮って欲しいオーラをすごく出していたら飛ぶ直前に添乗員さんに"フォト？"と聞かれたのでなんとかお願いすることができました。

I waited for over 30 minutes at a very crowded meeting point without any announcements. However, once we got on the bus, it was the usual fun tour. Thanks to the crew's support, my 80-year-old grandmother had a great time!

すごく混み合っている集合場所でアナウンスもないまま30分以上待たされました。でも、バスに乗ってからはいつもの楽しいツアー。80歳のおばあちゃんもクルーのサポートのおかげでたっぷり楽しめました！

This was so amazing and fun. The crew was top notch! We will definitely do this on all return trips to the island.

We loved our snorkeling experience, our guides were always friendly and helpful. I had my two children with me with varying abilities and the guides were easily able to accommodate for them. We had a fantastic experience.
