Very good experience and nice crew

Reviewed by: Couple in summer

I like this activity a lot because the team is nice. They play music and sing songs which makes the vibe very enjoyable. Activities included snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, and beach volley.

My family and I really enjoyed the sandbar tour. We did AM tour without lunch. Donuts and beverages were provided. I enjoyed snorkeling, paddle boarding, the live music, and friendliness of the crew. I recommend the sandbar tour and would do it again.

Sandbar snorkeling and SUP サンドバー シュノーケルとサップ

Reviewed by: ふみちゃん

It was great to travel by boat while listening to live music; it really added to the experience. Although we didn't go to a sandbar, the sea was beautiful, and we saw plenty of fish swimming around. Even as a beginner, I was taught carefully, and there were no dangerous spots at all. I could feel that all the staff were eager to make it enjoyable for everyone. However, I was disappointed that while the Japanese staff were very friendly to foreigners, they didn't seem as welcoming to Japanese guests.

生演奏を聴きながらの、船での移動盛り上がってとても良かったです。
サンドバーにはならなかったのですが、海も綺麗で魚が泳ぐところを沢山見れました。初心者でも丁寧に教えて頂き、危ないところは、ひとつもなかったです。スタッフのみんなも楽しませようという姿勢が感じられました。ただ、日本人のスタッフが外人には凄く良いのに対して、日本人にはあまり感じよくなかったので、がっかりしました。

I think it's better to respond properly. きちんとした対応したほうがいいと思う

Reviewed by: 最悪の思い出

The plan included lunch. The people around us at our assigned seats were already eating or had finished their meals, so we thought we should go get our food ourselves. When I asked if I could take this (something like a sandwich), a Japanese woman came over and said not to take it because the staff would bring it. However, no one brought us lunch no matter how long we waited. The staff had said they would bring it, but they didn't. There was a lack of responsibility. It wasn't a cheap tour, and since it was stated that lunch was included, we went without eating... I even went to get it because that person said they would bring it. The way she said it was quite harsh. What should have been a fun activity turned into an unpleasant memory. I swam on an empty stomach, felt unwell, and couldn't enjoy myself. It's really disappointing because the other crew members were very kind and friendly.

プランには昼食つきとありました。席を振り分けられ座った場所の周囲の人たちはすでに食事中か食事が済んでいたので自分たちで食事をとりに行くのだと思い取りに行ってコレ(サンドイッチのようなもの)を持って行っていいか聞くと日本人?の女の人がやってきてスタッフが持ってくるから取るなと言いました。しかし待っても待っても誰も昼食を私達に運んではくれませんでした。
スタッフが持ってくると日本人?の女のスタッフは言ったのに持ってこなかった。 責任感が無さすぎる。安いツアーでもないのに昼食があるって書いてたからわざわざ食べずに行ったのに...それもわざわざ取りに行ったのに持ってくるとあの人は言いました。言い方もかなりキツめでした。楽しいはずのアクティビティーが嫌な思い出になった。 空腹のまま泳いで気分も悪いし楽しめませんでした。他のクルーの人達はとても親切で優しかったから本当に残念です。

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience regarding lunch this time. Unfortunately, we were unable to provide lunch, and I regret that this has affected what should have been an enjoyable experience for you.

In response to this incident, we held an urgent meeting with the crew to prevent a recurrence. We will ensure that such issues do not happen again in the future. While I cannot guarantee that this will improve your mood, we have decided to refund the cost of lunch in hopes of making amends.

Once again, I apologize sincerely. I am truly sorry.

A journey of aerial swimming♪ 空中遊泳の旅♪

Reviewed by: まさー

I experienced parasailing for the first time. It was only a few minutes in the air, but I had a wonderful aerial adventure. We boarded a motorboat with several groups and took turns flying in the sky. The motorboat swayed quite a bit, so I think those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.

初めてパラセイリングを経験しました。
空中ではほんの数分でしょうか。とても素晴らしい空中遊泳の旅を経験いたしました。

I was really scared, but... ビビりまくってましたが、、

Reviewed by: ためさん

I participated in mid-June! I'm honestly not great with heights, so I was anxious and thought I might get seasick, but once I took off, it was just as others have reviewed! At first, it was scary, but when you go up into the sky and come back down, they operate the controls slowly, so it wasn't as frightening as I expected (I won't say it wasn't scary at all, haha). However! Being able to see the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head from 150 meters above the sea was an unforgettable experience! I definitely recommend trying it! Just be aware that the boat heading out can be really bumpy, so it might be tough for those who get seasick... please take care!

6月中旬に参加させていただきました!
高いところは正直苦手ですので不安で船酔いしそうでしたが、いざ飛んでみると他の皆さんがレビューしている通り!最初は怖いですが空に上がるときも船に戻るときもゆっくりと操作してくれるので思ってたより怖くはなかったです。(全然とは言いません笑)しかし!ワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドを海上150メートルから一望できたのは一生の思い出になる経験です!是非経験してみてください!
ただし、沖に向かう船がめっちゃ揺れますので船酔いする方はきついかもしれません、、、ご注意を!

Give it a try at least once! 一度はやってみよう!

Reviewed by: TAKEさん

The departure time was delayed, feeling like Hawaii time. There are restrooms at the harbor, but the men's room has security, so you might need to follow the boat staff to get in (I was let in). The women's room didn't have security, and it's not recommended to go alone. It's better to use the restroom at the hotel.

The boat moves quite fast, so if you're prone to seasickness, definitely take some motion sickness medication. A foreign girl who was on board looked like she was struggling. Once you're up in the parachute, the view is amazing; you can see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head clearly. The captain tends to play around quite a bit with the parachute.

In the end, you usually get splashed into the sea, so if you don't want that, it's better to say "water!" before the parachute goes up. After getting splashed, your body gets cold, so a jacket might be necessary. The staff will take photos for you, but they aren't professionals, so the quality might not be perfect. You can check the photos at the reception at the end and decide whether to purchase them, which is reassuring. The data can be downloaded to an SD card or smartphone.

I think parasailing is something you should definitely try at least once!

出発時間は予定より遅れて出発ハワイ時間って感じです。
ハーバーにトイレはあるが男子用はセキュリティー付きなので

This was my third time at Sandbar, and I was finally able to participate on a day that truly felt like "this is Sandbar!"

As soon as my Hawaii trip dates were set, I checked the tide levels and made a reservation for a day that coincided with the low tide, which only happens a few times a year.

Thank you to the friendly staff. I was able to enjoy skin diving, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and other marine sports in excellent conditions with the blue sea and white sandy shallows.

If you go to Hawaii, you absolutely must experience this amazing adventure!

Very enjoyable and unique experience

Reviewed by: Michelle

The sandbar activity was a very enjoyable and unique experience. The boat ride over is short (15 min.) with great music and a decent sandwich lunch. We did the SUP and snorkeled. Lots of fish to see. Plenty of time to do all the activities. The tide was high, about 4 feet but still so much fun. Made it better for snorkeling. Staff was so friendly and helpful.

Overall, I was satisfied, but I was put off by being asked for a tip. 総じて満足だが、チップをせびられゲンナリ

Reviewed by: MKK

I participated with my wife.

It was a one-hour tour on a small boat. My wife is prone to motion sickness, but this time she didn't feel sick, possibly because the waves weren't high. Since the boat is small and there is some rocking, those who are prone to motion sickness should not forget to take motion sickness medication.

The others on board were at an altitude of 120 meters, while we were at 150 meters, but we didn't feel much of a difference, and there was no difference in the operation either, so the 120-meter option might have been more cost-effective.

There wasn't much fear at high altitude, and I think you can enjoy the scenery slowly! On a clear day, we could see the entire city of Honolulu, and it felt great.

Overall, it was a satisfying tour, but at the end, we were asked for a tip, which was a bit disappointing. I was naturally prepared to give one, so I wanted to do it pleasantly. Well, this might be something that Japanese people often forget to do. I understand that, but because of that, I gave it a four-star rating.

妻と二人で参加しました。

小型のボートで1時間ほどのツアーでした。妻は酔いやすいですが、今回は波が高くなかったのか、酔わず。ボートは小さいのと、揺られる時間もあるので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めをお忘れなく。

同乗した方々は高度120メートル、私たちは高度150メートルでしたが、体感では違いを感じず、また運営でも差がなかったので、高度120メートルの方がコスパが良かったかもしれません。

上空での怖さはあまりなく、ゆっくり景色を楽しめると思います!晴れた日でホノルルの市街地全体が見渡せて、気持ちよかったです。

総じて満足のいくツアーでしたが、最後にチップをせびられ、萎えました。当然に渡そうと準備してたので、気持ちよく渡したかった。。まぁこればかりは日本人は渡しそびれが多いのでしょうね。仕方ない気もしますが、その分四つ星評価といたしました。

You will be picked up near the hotel and take a drive of about 30 minutes to the port.

Upon arrival at the port, you will transfer to a large boat that can accommodate around 60 people and head towards the sandbar. On the boat, donuts and drinks will be served, and there will be live Hawaiian music.

Once you arrive at the sandbar, you can do whatever you like, such as stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), kayaking, or snorkeling. Please note that there are limited SUP and kayak options, so you may have to wait your turn.

Afterward, you will return to the port by boat, then take a bus back to the location where you were picked up.

Since the bus seats are fabric, it's a good idea to bring a towel to sit on.

ホテルの近くでピックアップしてもらい、車で30分程度ぼドライブして港にむかいます。

港に到着したら60人位が乗り込める大型の船に移動して、船でサンドバーにむかいます。船の上ではドーナツや飲み物が配られ、ハワイアンミュージックの生演奏もあります。

サンドバーに到着したらSUPやカヤック、シュノーケリングなど各自やりたいことをやります。SUPとカヤックは数に限りがあるので、順番待ちになることもあります。

終わったらまた船で港に戻り、バスに乗り込みピックアップされた場所で降ろされます。

バスのシートは布製なので、座るところに敷く用のタオルを持っていくと良いです。

ハワイ ジェットスキー ハイスピードで水上を滑走!<ハワイカイ>

High-speed and intense racing! ハイスピードで激走!

Reviewed by: ケインズホーム

First, I took the city bus "The Bus" in Hawaii to the meeting point, but I was about 3 minutes late due to a bus delay. I knew I would be late when I got on the bus, so I contacted them via email. When I arrived, the staff kindly greeted me in Japanese, saying, "That must have been tough, but it's okay!"

Participants who had the same schedule had already gone out to the jet ski area by boat, and I waited at the reception for about 15 minutes. I was able to board a boat that was taking other activity participants to the jet ski area. The boat staff also spoke casually in Japanese.

Once I arrived at the jet ski area, the staff continued to speak kindly in Japanese, joking with me and making me feel that they were considerate about my tardiness, saying, "Don't worry about being late!" They explained how to ride the jet ski and the etiquette in Japanese, so I had no trouble understanding.

The actual jet ski experience was exhilarating, racing across the sea. Although the speedometer showed around 30 kilometers per hour, it felt much faster. The refreshing sensation of speeding under the sun, with ocean spray splashing around, was fantastic. The activity involved repeatedly circling four buoys in a clockwise direction, and it was a great way to enjoy jet skiing. The waves were high that day, causing the jet ski to sway and making it necessary to get used to handling it (I think you could get accustomed to it after 2-3 laps, but it depends on the environment and the person). I rode tandem with my wife, who found it scary after just two laps of driving, so I took over for the rest. While jumping over waves was fun, doing it repeatedly could throw off your balance, which might be a bit scary.

There were about six jet skis participating in the same circuit, maintaining a distance of 20-30 meters apart, with overtaking allowed from the outside. The unique waves created by the jet skis made it difficult to drive if the person in front was too close. When I was driving, a young man in front of me was swerving on purpose, creating irregular waves that made it very hard to steer. I wished he would have followed the etiquette...

By the way, during the ride, a GoPro was mounted on the boat's steering area to take photos and videos. After the tour, when we returned to the reception facility, they showed us the photos, but purchasing them cost over $50.

Overall, it was an unforgettable experience as a marine sport, and the staff were all very kind and attentive, which left a positive impression.

*The goggles they recommend purchasing before riding (for $10) seemed almost unnecessary.*

まず、当日にハワイの市バスの「ザ•バス」での移動で集合場所に向かったが、バス遅延で集合時間に3分ほど遅刻...。バスに乗る時点で遅れることがわかっていたのでメールにて連絡しておいたところ、到着したらすぐに「大変だったね、大丈夫だからね!」と受付の方が日本語で優しく接してくれた。
すでにジェットスキー乗り場のある沖合に、同じ時間の参加者は船で出ており、15分ほど受付で待機。同施設の、他アクティビティ参加者を連れて行くボートに一緒に乗せてもらって乗り場まで移動した。ボートスタッフも日本語で気さくに話してくれた。
乗り場についてからも、日本語で話してくれるスタッフが優しく、冗談なども交えて話しかけてくれ、遅刻したことを「気にしないで!」と配慮してくれていたようにも感じた。ジェットスキーの乗り方、マナーなども日本語でわかるように教えてもらい、何も困らなかった。
実際のジェットスキー体験は海の上を大激走、メーターでは時速30キロ前後ではあったもののかなり体感速度が速く感じた。太陽の下、海洋の上、吹き上がる水飛沫を受けながら走り抜ける爽快感は見事だった。設置された4つのウキを時計回りに周回するのを繰り返すというものだが、ジェットスキーを手軽に楽しめるという点では申し分ない。当日は波が高く、ジェットスキーが大きく揺られたりハンドルをとられたりすることもあり、運転には少し慣れが必要と感じた(2〜3週すれば慣れると思うが、環境や人による)。自分は妻とタンデムで乗ったが、妻は2週だけ運転して怖かったとのことで、残りはずっと自分が運転した。波を越えるのは楽しいが、何度も連続していると体勢を崩してじい、少し怖いかも。
同時に周回するジェットスキー(参加者)は6台ほどで、基本は20〜30m空けて走行、外側からなら追い越し有り。ジェットスキーの走った後は独特な波が生まれるため、前の人が近いと自然に波に揺られることになる。自分が運転した時は、前にいた青年がわざと蛇行運転をし、波が不規則に立ってしまってとても運転しづらかった。マナーは守ってほしかった...。
ちなみに運転中、GoProをボートのハンドル部分中心につけ、写真や動画を撮ってくれる。ツアーが終わって受付の施設に戻ると写真等を見せてくれるが、購入するには50ドル以上のお金がかかった。
全体としては十分に楽しめるマリンスポーツとして最高の思い出となった。とにかくスタッフがみんな優しく丁寧で好感を持てる。
※乗る前に勧められるゴーグル購入(10ドル)は、ほぼ必要ないと思われる。

いい波が来ると後ろから押してもらって、波に乗ってる途中で立つという感じです。どんくさい私でも立てました。何回も落ちたけど、とても楽しかったです。
人によっては、波乗りまではしないのかもしれません。
とても陽気でフレンドリーな方に教えてもらえて、楽しかったです。

ハワイでパラセーリング 高さ120m/150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞!<ヒルトン・ワイキキ>

Amazing!! 最高!!

Reviewed by: ますこ

It was a bit far, but I was able to walk from Waikiki along the sandy beach. I thought it would be scarier, but it was very pleasant! However, the boat sways quite a bit, so it might be tough for those who get motion sickness. You also need to be careful about meals before and after.

The ticket booth was a bit hard to find, but a kind person nearby helped me out.

I don't understand English, but it was totally fine! My mother, who is in her 60s, was also very happy.

少し遠かったですが、砂浜沿いにワイキキから歩いていけました
もっと怖いかと思っていたのですが、とても気持ちよかったです!
ただ、船がかなり揺れるので乗り物酔いのある人にはきついかもしれません。前後の食事にも注意が必要です。
チケットブースが少し分かりづらかったのですが、近隣の親切な人が教えてくださいました。

英語はわかりませんが、全然大丈夫でした!
60代の母もとても喜んでいました。

North Shore Clear Bottom Kayak Tour & Turtle Watch from Haleiwa Beach

Fun and Turtles!

Reviewed by: K T

Had a fantastic time on this tour! Our guide was great - fun and knowledgeable - and made the whole experience worth it! The ocean, river and all around area where we kayaked were beautiful - and the icing on the cake was the abundance of turtles! One of our favourite activities and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone - and wouldn't hesitate to do it again if I was ever lucky enough to return to Oahu!

ハワイでパラセーリング 高さ120m/150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞!<ヒルトン・ワイキキ>

I had a great time. 非常に楽しかったです

Reviewed by: ゆゆゆ

It was absolutely amazing. I chose the 150m option, and it was the right decision. There were no Japanese people in the same group, but someone from Mexico talked to me, and we exchanged our smartphones to take pictures and videos of each other. I was also able to buy photos taken by the photographer for $40. There are so many pictures and videos from various angles, and just looking back at them is enjoyable.

とにかく最高でした。150mの方にしましたが、正解でした。
同じグループに日本人の方はいませんでしたが、メキシコ?の方が話しかけてくださり、互いのスマホを預けて写真や動画を撮り合いました。
40ドルでカメラマンが撮った写真も買うことができました。様々な角度の写真や動画がたくさんで見返してるだけでも楽しいです。

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

KBOS was awesome!

Reviewed by: Christine

The crew was wonderful! The musicians were amazing! If you don't have time to try different water activities on your trip, this is a great way to hit a lot of them. We were able to SUP, kayak, swim, lounge, and snorkel (the sandbar reef actually had quite a few different types of fish to see and since it is so shallow, it is a lot easier to snorkel here). They provide life jackets for all the activities and snorkel gear. We also did the banana boat and bumper activities and it was quite the adrenaline rush. For banana boat, they grouped us with two other pairs of people so we filled up the banana boat (holds 6 people), which made it more stable but half of us still fell off. It was very fun and quite an experience. There is definitely enough time to try everything. Their boat is pretty big so very stable and not likely to induce seasickness. They have two women's bathrooms, one men's, and one changing room. They provide donuts and water/juice but you can also bring your own food/drinks. There are plenty of tables and shelf storage underneath so your items aren't on the floor and won't get wet. Overall, a great time!

Parasailing in Paradise!

What an exciting adventure for our first-time parasailors! Our 8 & 5 year old granddaughters had the time of their lives parasailing with their Grammy! They loved seeing a green sea turtle as well as all the wonderful scenery of Oahu! The crew was kind and humorous. We had a wonderful experience!

Everything was great, staff was friendly. We went first thing in the morning so we got the boat to our selfs. Definitely not as scary as it seems! And I was SUPER scared at first, but I think I would definitely do it again! Recommend to get the pictures, they came out great!
