Uncle Kevin was awesome. Friendly n funny great host/driver. Enjoyed our tour had a great time we did hike to waterfall n kayaking. Worth the money. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy north shore with some history/information. Read in other review that it was rushed but that’s not how it was at all at least not with our driver uncle Kevin.

Kaneohe ocean sports at the sandbar was amazing! We started with either glazed or chocolate donuts with lemonade. When we got to the sandbar they had a variety of activities including kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, volleyball and snorkeling. We loved the snorkeling! They took us to an area of the sandbar that was still shallow enough to stand but had plenty of coral to swim around and explore. Staff was friendly and constantly kept watch over the participants, making this a safe and enjoyable environment. Overall would definitely recommend especially for families

I chose a guided plan that seemed to match my SUP level, and it was a huge hit.
While waiting for the SUP, I leisurely toured Lanikai Beach by renting a bike.
Since I had experience with SUP in a gym pool, I practiced a bit in the river and then headed straight to the ocean! The waves and wind weren't too strong, so I paddled smoothly and reached a deserted island. There, they provided a detailed explanation and the surfing experience was fantastic.
It was a precious ocean adventure that wouldn't be possible with a large group. Additionally, the weather was great, and I realized that the impression of ocean activities really changes with the weather.
If there were a small group plan just for couples, including other locations, I would love to book it again.
SUPのレベルに合わせて対応してくれそうなガイド付きプランを選択
これが大当たりでした
SUPまでの待ち時間にレンタサイクルでラニカイビーチまでゆったり観光
SUPはジムのプールで経験しているので、川でちょっと練習してすぐ海へGo!
波や風がそれほどなかったこともあり、順調に漕いで無人島まで到着
そちらでゆっくり詳しく説明してくれて、さらに波乗り体験が素晴らしい
大人数では味わえない貴重な海遊びとなりました
それに加えて天気も良く、やはり海遊びの印象は天気でがらりと変わるなと思いました
他の場所も含めて、カップルのみの少人数プランがあったら、またお願いしたいと思います

Staff were excellent and I would highly recommend that lunch excursion. We upgraded for the banana boat ride for our granddaughters when checking in. We were offered to ride in the boat so that we could get videos of the girls on the ride.
Water was shallow and bit difficult to snorkel.
Parking is at a premium and I had to wait in the lot until someone pulled out.

There was a reception area right next to the parking lot at Hilton Hawaiian Village. It seemed like same-day reservations were also accepted.
When the time came, we went to the meeting point and after about 15 minutes on the boat, we arrived at the parasailing spot. My husband, who usually doesn’t get seasick, was feeling queasy because the boat was rocking quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is a must.
The parasailing itself was great, with beautiful views and it felt wonderful. Before landing, they intentionally drop you into the sea, so you will definitely get wet (laughs). A large bath towel is also essential! I bought photos for $40, but since they were mostly the same, I thought it might not be worth it.
ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジの駐車場すぐに受付がありました。当日予約も受け付けているみたいでした。
時間になって、集合場所に行き15分ほど船に揺られてパラセーリングスポットに着きました。
普段酔わない旦那さんが、船酔いに遭うぐらいとても揺れるので酔い止め必須です。
パラセーリング自体は景色もよく、とても気持ちよかったです。
着陸前にわざと海に落とされるので絶対に濡れます(笑)大きいバスタオルも必須です!
40ドルで写真も購入しましたが、同じ写真ばかりだったので買わなくてもいいかなぁと思いました。

This was my first time participating in parasailing near Waikiki! Usually, I choose a parasailing package that’s a bit farther away, but this time I made a reservation for the early morning session due to the schedule of other activities. I walked from the hotel to the parasailing check-in location while enjoying a morning stroll. The muffins and coconut pound cake from the nearby coffee shop that the staff recommended were absolutely delicious! The 150 meters was indeed high and thrilling, and it was such an amazing moment that I definitely want to do it again! It has now been added to my must-do list for my next trip to Hawaii!
ワイキキのホテル近郊でのパラは初めての参加でした!
いつもはちょっと遠くまでパラとのセットを選ぶのですが、今回は他のアクティビティの時間の都合で朝一の回に予約しました。
朝の散歩がてら、ホテルから徒歩でパラの受付場所まで行きました☆
( 受付の方から教えてもらった近くのコーヒーショップのマフィンとココナッツのパウンドケーキがとっても美味しかったです)
150mは確かに高くて迫力ありましたが絶対またやりたいっ!!となる最高の瞬間でした☆

We used this for making memories on our honeymoon. It was Saturday afternoon, but I was able to make a reservation just three days in advance without any issues. The location is directly connected to Waikiki Beach, which is great because you can wear your swimsuit and go straight back to the hotel.
Since there were only three groups sharing the ride, the waiting time felt short. As others mentioned, if you're worried about motion sickness, I think it's a good idea to take some medicine beforehand, but I was able to enjoy it without feeling sick. The flight time felt longer than I expected.
The photo fee was $40, so please be careful if you're considering purchasing.
I didn't understand English, but thanks to the enthusiastic staff, I was able to create the best memories!
新婚旅行の思い出作りで利用しました。
土曜のお昼でしたが、3日前でも無事予約が取れました。
立地がワイキキビーチに直結したところにあり、ホテルから直接水着を着てそのまま帰れる立地の良さも良いです。
乗り合わせが3組と少なかったからか、待ち時間も短く感じました。他の方が言っていたように乗り物酔いが心配な場合は酔い止めを飲んでおくと良いと思いましたが、私は酔うことなく終われました。
飛行時間も思っていたより長くあったように感じます。
写真代は値上げしたのか$40でしたので、購入を考えている際はお気をつけください。
英語はわからなかったのですが、盛り上げ上手のスタッフさんのおかげで最高の思い出ができました!

Four years ago, I participated in this lesson for the first time. It was so impressive that during this family trip, I joined a group lesson (4 English speakers, 2 Japanese) with my younger brother.
After a general explanation, a local instructor who speaks Japanese took care of the two of us on the beach. It was like a completely private lesson! Both my brother (his first time surfing) and I (my second time) were able to ride the waves right away. In fact, I managed to ride all the waves except for one! My brother didn't fall even once! The instructor praised us a lot and also pointed out areas for improvement.
Another surfing instructor told me, "The person teaching you is really amazing."
The photos cost $50 for one participant and $75 for two. Since there's a breakwater nearby, I should have had my family come to take pictures. I didn't have the luxury of taking selfies... haha.
I was exhausted after the lesson, so I'm glad I signed up for it on the last day. I was able to sleep soundly on the plane. If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate in a lesson here again!
4年前、初めてこのレッスンに参加しました。
それが凄く印象的だったので、今回の家族旅行では、弟と一緒にグループレッスン(英語圏4人、日本人2人)に参加させて頂きました。
全体説明後、ビーチでは日本語も話せる現地の先生1人が我々2人を担当してくれました。完全にプライベートレッスン状態!!
私(サーフィン2回目)も弟(サーフィン1回目)も一発で波に乗れました。
というか、私は1回以外全部波に乗れました!弟は1回も落ちなかったです!
先生はいっぱい褒めてくれるし、改善点も教えてくれました。
他のサーフィンレッスンの先生から、"あなたに教えてくれてる人はとても凄い人なのよ"と声をかけられました。
写真は1人参加だと$50、2人だと$75、、でした。
近くに堤防もあるので、家族に写真を撮りに来て貰えば良かったです。
自撮りしてる余裕はないので…笑
レッスン後はクタクタだったので、最終日に申し込んで良かったです。機内で爆睡出来ました。
またハワイに行ったら、絶対ここでまたレッスンに参加したいです!

All I can say, this group is awesome. We had the sandbar adventure last January 4, 2023. Despite the weather didn’t cooperate, they still made sure that we have a good time. Supposedly it’s a big group, but because it’s raining that day, some parties cancelled their trip while we just want to get over it and don’t want to be back the next day. It turned out to be an awesome adventure for us. My kids still did their banana boat ride and bumpers as well as paddle boarding and snorkeling. And my daughter even had a chance to have duet with my HERO!!! (It’s a long story).
I’m so thankful with them coz my kids really enjoyed this adventure. We all had a good time.

I have a fear of heights, but I’m really glad I challenged myself because it was so much fun! The view of Waikiki from above was incredibly beautiful, and there was a strange sense of unity with the other guests on the boat, which was interesting. The boat rocks quite a bit and goes fast, so it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication. My husband held onto the GoPro without a strap during the ride, but somehow he managed to bring it back without dropping it in the ocean. We bought the photos they sold, and other guests took pictures with our smartphones, but it was great that all the shooting locations were different. When we told the captain it was our honeymoon, we ended up being dropped into the sea twice, which was funny! Including that, it was an enjoyable experience, and the captain gave instructions in excellent Japanese, so we had no trouble at all. I think it was probably the first and last time in my life, but it was a wonderful experience!
高所恐怖症ですが、チャレンジして本当によかったと思えるくらい楽しかったです!
空から見るワイキキの眺めはとってもキレイでしたし、同じボートのお客さんたちと謎の一体感が生まれて面白かったです。船はかなり揺れるし速いので酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいいかも。夫はGoPRO を紐なしで握りしめてライドしましたがなんとか海に落とさず帰還しました。販売の写真も買いましたし、他のお客さんにもスマホで撮ってもらいましたが、全部撮影風景が違うのであってよかったです。ハネムーンだとキャプテンに伝えると、海に2回落とされました笑 それも含めて面白かったし、絶妙な日本語で指示してくれるので何も困りませんでした。たぶん人生で最初で最後だと思いますがとても良い体験ができました!
