All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I was a bit scared because I'm not good with roller coasters, but it didn't feel like I was floating like on a roller coaster. I could see Waikiki from the air, and it was very pleasant and fun!!

There were four of us, two Japanese girls in their twenties, and a family of five foreigners. The Japanese girls suggested, "Shall we take photos together?" so instead of buying photos, we exchanged them via AirDrop after parasailing.

We were making a lot of noise and having fun, so maybe that's why we got dropped into the sea?! But the others landed safely on the boat (getting dropped was also incredibly fun). The captain and crew were very cheerful and nice, and we had a valuable and enjoyable experience.

We did this on August 5th, and the weather was good with not much wind, so it felt nice. However, the boat rocked while we were on it, and it seems that on windy days, it can rock in the air too, so I think it would be a good idea to take motion sickness medication for peace of mind.

Everyone gives tips before getting off, so we gave a tip of $10 per person. I think it's good to prepare a towel in case you get dropped, along with a camera and some cash.

If you're hesitating, I definitely recommend trying it out!!

私はジェットコースターが苦手なので少し怖いなと思っていたのですが、ジェットコースターみたいにフワッと体が浮くような事もなく、空中からワイキキを見渡せ、とても気持ちいいし楽しかったです！！

私達4人と日本人の20代女の子2人と外国人家族5人でした。日本人の女の子達が「写真を撮りあいっこしませんか？」と声をかけてくれたので、写真は買わずにパラセイリングが終わった後、エアドロで交換しました。

私達はキャーキャー騒いでクルーやキャプテンにも声をかけて楽しそうにしていたせいか⁈海に落とされましたが、他の人達は落とされずにボートに着地していました（落とされたのもめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです）
キャプテンもクルーもとても明るくてイイ人だったし、貴重な楽しい体験ができました。

8/5にしましたが、天気も良く風もあまりなかったので気持ち良かったけれど、ボートに乗っている間揺れるし、風が強い日は上空でも揺れるみたいなので酔い止めの薬を飲んでおいたら安心だと思います。

みんな降りる前にチップを渡すので、私達は一人10ドルのチップを渡しました。カメラと少しの現金と落とされた時の為にバスタオルを用意しておいたらいいと思います。

迷っている方は是非体験して欲しいです！！

I planned my day starting in the morning. We gathered at Ross Dress for Less at 8 AM. There were other buses for different tours, so I got a bit confused, but I was able to board without any issues. After passing a few more stops, we rode the bus for about 30 minutes to the sandbar's boat dock.

When we arrived, we had to fill out a consent form, but there were Japanese staff there, so it was fine to do it in Japanese. The explanations were also in Japanese, allowing us to smoothly board the boat.

Inside the boat, we had assigned seats, which was reassuring.

On the boat, we could help ourselves to donuts and drinks.

At the sandbar, in addition to snorkeling, we could also enjoy boating and stand-up paddleboarding. Since it was shallow, we could relax and have fun without worry.

We had about two hours to play, so we had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves.

I recommend this experience because you can enjoy various activities for this price.

By the way, we returned to Waikiki around 12:30 PM.

朝からのプランにしました。
8時にROSS FOR LESSに集合でした。このツアー以外のバスも止まってたので、少し迷いましたが、無事乗ることができました。他にもいくつか停留場所を通り、30分くらいバスに揺られ、サンドバーの船乗り場へ。

着いたら、承諾書を書かないといけないのですが、ここでは日本の方がいたので日本語で大丈夫でした。説明も日本語で、スムーズに船に乗ることができました。

船の中では、席が決まっているので、安心でした。

船の中では、ドーナツとドリンクをセルフサービスでもらうことができました。

サンドバーでは、シュノーケリング以外に、ボートやサップもできました。足がつくところなので、安心して楽しむことができました。


遊ぶ時間も2時間はあったのでたっぷり遊べました。

この値段で、色んなことが楽しめるのでおすすめです。

ちなみにワイキキに帰ってきたら12時半ごろでした。

This was an amazing experience! The staff is so kind and there is so much to do!

I experienced surfing with three children and five people. It was a lot of fun. The three sessions of surfing ended in the blink of an eye, so I wish we could have done five.

子供3人と5人で体験しました。とても楽しい波乗りでした。3回の波乗りは、あっと言う間に終わったので、5回乗れたら良かったと思う。

It goes higher than I imagined. I think the time spent in the air was less than 10 minutes, but it was just right.

The boat sways quite a bit, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to seasickness.

想像していた以上に高いところまで登っていきます。上空での滞在時間は10分もないくらいだったと思いますが、むしろちょうどよかったです。

船はかなり揺れるので、船酔いする方は酔い止め内服をお勧めします。

There were about 15 participants, and a guide was at the front and back. The gathering and dispersal felt casual, as we just came to the bay and then left, so I think it's good to come in swimsuits and leave in swimsuits. There were public restrooms nearby. If you have a certain level of English or some canoeing experience, you'll feel more comfortable participating. Also, the light snacks provided were small bags of snacks and about one can of juice. They lent out life jackets for children. The snorkeling masks were one size, so the kids used their own goggles. It was a beautiful bay with very clear blue water, and it was a wonderful half-day tour while feeling the nature of Hawaii. Thank you very much.

参加者が15名くらいで、先頭と後尾にガイドさんがついてくれました。集合も解散もラフな感じで湾の辺りに来て帰るという感じなので、水着で来て水着で帰るくらいの心構えだとよいかなーと思います。公衆トイレは近くにありました。ある程度英語ができる方、もしくは多少のカヌー経験者だと、より安心して参加できるかなと思います。また、軽食はスナック小袋とジュース1缶程度でした。
子ども用ライフジャケット貸し出ししてくれました。シュノーケルマスクはワンサイズだったので、子どもたちは持参のゴーグルを使用しました。
とても澄んだブルーの綺麗な湾で、ハワイの自然を感じながらのツアーで素晴らしい半日になりました。ありがとうございました。

I was looking for a parasailing tour with transportation because the distance from the hotel I was staying at to the meeting point was quite far, and this was the only tour available on weekends, so I booked it the day before departure. It turned out to be about a 15-minute walk from the hotel to the meeting point, which was surprisingly easy. For those staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, it's very close. I had read in reviews that some people experienced seasickness, so I took motion sickness medication in advance. When we got on the boat, there were two families from the mainland U.S. and us, and everyone was friendly and welcoming, making it a lot of fun. When it was our turn to go parasailing, we took off at 150 feet, which was very high and a bit scary. However, everyone on the boat waved at us, and the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head were amazing, making it a wonderful experience. We were up in the air for over 10 minutes, so I think it's a great value tour. I didn't experience any seasickness, and it was truly enjoyable. I highly recommend it!

宿泊しているホテルから集合場所まで距離があるため送迎付きのパラセイリングを探していましたが、土日やっているのは、当ツアーのみだったため出国前日に申込みました。宿泊ホテルから集合場所までは徒歩15分くらいで、意外と簡単に行けました。ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ宿泊の方はすぐです。口コミで船酔いすると記載があったため事前に酔い止めを服用し、いざボートにのってみると、アメリカ本国からきた家族2組と私たちで、皆さん気さくでアットホームな方たちで、とても楽しかったです。いざ、自分たちの番が来て、パラセイリングで飛び立ちましたが、150フィート、とても高くて怖かったです。でも、ボートから皆が手を振ってくれ、ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの景色が素晴らしく、とても良い体験ができました。10分以上飛んでいるので、お得なツアーだと思います。船酔いもせず、本当に楽しかったです。おススメです！

The weather was great, and I had a wonderful time! The driver who picked us up to Waikiki had a lovely smile and was very pleasant, which made me feel good from the moment we were greeted. The Japanese guide's explanations in Japanese once we arrived at the port definitely added to my sense of security. The live music on board, donuts, drinks, and above all, the presence of a restroom made it comfortable for families with children.

お天気にも恵まれ、満喫できました！
ワイキキまで送迎のドライバーさんは笑顔が素敵で感じが良く、お迎えの瞬間から気分良く参加できました。
港に着いてからの日本人のガイドさんの日本語での説明はやはり安心感が増しました。
船内での生演奏、ドーナツ、ドリンク、そしてなにより、トイレ付きというのが、子連れには安心して過ごせました。

The view was very nice! The staff were friendly, and I had a great time. The landing was slow, so there was no strain on my legs and back.

とてもいい景色でした！
スタッフさんは感じがよくて、楽しめました。
着地もゆっくりで足腰に負担無かったです。

Apart from the check in , everything else was awesome. We got there 15 minutes early to check in, no place to wait, they just told us to come back when it is time.
My kids really loved and enjoyed the thé parasail and jet ski. The videos and photos taken were very nice too. It was good.

The activities were good, but the wait times were long and tiring. I think it's because there were so many people.

アクティビティーはいいですが、待ち時間が長く疲れました。
多くの人がかぶっているからだと思います。

The parasailing experience under the clear, refreshing sky was fantastic. I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time trying it.

I checked in early and spent some time on the beach right in front of me before boarding the boat. The crew was cheerful and enthusiastic, providing instructions mainly in English, but they also offered assistance in simple Japanese.

We shot up to 150 meters in the air and enjoyed views that are usually not visible. Although there is a fee, they took a lot of photos in burst mode, and I was able to receive the data transfer if I had an SD card or iPhone.

I highly recommend this activity!

天気もよく爽快な空の下のパラセイリング体験。何度かハワイに来ていますが初めてでした。
チェックインを早目に済ませ、目の前のビーチで時間を潰し、ボートに乗船。
クルーの皆さんも明るく盛り上げてくれて、指示は基本英語ですが簡単な日本語でも補助してくれます。
150ｍ上空に一気に上がり普段は見られない景色を堪能しました。有料ですが写真は連写でかなりの枚数、SDカードとiphone であればデータ転送で受け取れました。
おすすめのアクティビティです。

Wow this activity was one of my favorites! The sandbar alone is breathtaking, but the staff made this experience wholesome. Every single worker there was incredibly so kind, definitely brought the Aloha spirit. Live music was phenomenal as well.

So much fun

We did the 1000ft rope.

My son was really hesitant to go up but the staff were excellent, caring, accommodating and managed to get him to do it - which he then thoroughly enjoyed, especially when getting dunked into the sea!

Excellent staff

Highly recommended activity

It felt higher than I imagined. Even for someone like me who is not good with roller coasters, I was able to ride without feeling scared. It's located about a five-minute walk from the Hilton Hotel, making it convenient for those staying at the Hilton. Thanks to that, I was able to quickly enjoy the ride even with the short time I had on the day of my departure. I wasn't sure if there was an additional fee for taking photos.

想像以上に高く感じました。
ジェットコースターが苦手な私でも、恐怖を感じることなく乗れました。
ヒルトンホテルから徒歩五分くらいのところにあり、ヒルトンホテルに滞在している人に便利な立地です。おかげで、出国当日の短い時間でもサクッと乗ることができました。
写真を撮ってもらうのが別料金かかるのかわかりませんでした。

We arrived around 8:20 since we rented a car. We checked in right away at the spot with the red umbrella. It went smoothly without any issues.

I understand some English, but I felt reassured as a Japanese female guide explained everything carefully before we boarded the boat.

All the staff were very kind, and we had a great time. We played with the SUP and the boat the whole time. The person in charge of SUP was local but could speak quite a bit of Japanese, which was very helpful. (It was amusing Japanese.)

On the boat, there was water and orange juice available. While the website and reviews mentioned snacks like chips, we only had donuts during our visit. Unfortunately, they ran out by the time we returned, which was disappointing. I hope they consider having more variety and quantity of snacks. It seems inconsistent from day to day.

It's advisable to bring marine shoes, towels, hats, and rash guards since there's no shade in the water. There was only one changing area, so there was quite a line. If you dislike waiting, it's better to come back a bit earlier.

On the way back, coincidentally, a couple of musicians participating in the tour sang for us. The local staff seemed excited, so they must be famous musicians. I wonder who they are? Their child also sang along, and it was incredibly cute. The atmosphere on the boat became very warm and pleasant.

Most of the participants were Japanese, but I didn't confirm this properly, and it seemed like they didn't tip much, which made me feel a bit sorry for the staff.

Overall, I was very satisfied. The children were happy too. Thank you very much.

レンタカーでしたので、8：20頃到着。
着いてすぐに赤いパラソルのとこでチェックイン。問題なくスムーズにできました。
英語はある程度わかりますが、船に乗る前に女性の日本人ガイドが丁寧に説明してくれましたので安心しました。

スタッフはみんな優しい方ばかりで楽しかったです。
我々はずっとSUPとボートで遊んでました。
SUP担当の方は、現地の方ですが日本語をかなり話すことができサポートもあり大変良かったです。（おもしろ日本語です）

船内は水、オレンジジュースがありました。軽食はホームページや口コミではチップス等あるようでしたが、我々のときはドーナツのみ。数に限りがあったので帰りには無くなっていたのが残念です。軽食の数や種類をもう少し考えてほしいかな。日によって違うのはどうかと。。

持って行った方が良いのは、マリンシューズ、タオル、帽子とラッシュガード。海の中なので日よけがないので。
着替えるところが1か所のみなので、だいぶ並んでました。待つのが嫌な人は、少し早めにあがることですね。

帰りに、たまたま？ツアーに参加していたミュージシャン夫婦が歌ってくれました。現地スタッフは興奮していたので有名なミュージシャンのようです。誰なんでしょう？夫婦の子供も一緒に歌っていて、すごく可愛かったです。船内がとても和みました。

参加者の多くが日本人でしたが、ちゃんとは確認してませんが、あまりチップを払ってなかったようだったので、スタッフさんに少し申し訳ない気持ちになりました。

全体的にはすごく満足。子供たちも喜んでました。ありがとうございました。

It was my first time out at the Kaneohe Sandbar on my fourth trip to Oahu.
I've heard about it before, never had a chance. It was everything I expected and beyond. The crew was very friendly. It has to be the best activity I've ever done in Oahu!!

The water level was higher than I expected, and I couldn't find any sandy beaches, but I was able to enjoy snorkeling as a result.

Also, the rental stand-up paddleboards (SUP) were very popular, so if you don't go early, you'll have to wait a long time.

思ってたより水位が高く、砂浜には出会えませんでしたがその分シュノーケリングが堪能できました。

また、レンタルできるSUPはとても人気だったため、早く行かないと長い時間待つことになります。

It started with a live performance on the boat, followed by bumper tubes and banana boat rides, and then snorkeling, which was full of fun! We even encountered a sea turtle (^^) And finally, we indulged in the live performance once again... I sincerely pray for the reconstruction of Maui.

船上ライブに始まり、バンパーチューブ&バナナボートその後シュノーケリングと楽しさ満載でした！
ウミガメにも遭遇して(^^)
そして最後に再びライブに酔いしれ…
マウイ島の再建を心よりお祈りいたします。

During my stay, I had been wanting to ride a catamaran, so I made a reservation for 11 AM two days later. The booking process was smooth. On the day of the trip, the weather was great, and we went further out than I expected. It was really fun to see Diamond Head from an angle I had never seen before, and it felt like I was walking on the beautiful blue ocean. Even the waves we encountered while on board felt refreshing. Most of the participants were from overseas, but everyone was in a relaxed mood, enjoying themselves in their own way. The duration of the trip was just right—not too short, not too long—and I was more than satisfied! I definitely want to go again next time.

滞在中、ずっと乗りたいと思っていたカタマランを思いつき翌々日の11時を予約しました。予約はスムーズに取れました。当日は天気も良く、思った以上に沖へ出ます。ダイヤモンドヘッドを見た事が無い角度から眺め青い海の上を散歩しているような感じでとても楽しかったです。乗船中被る波すらも気持ちいい。海外の方の参加が殆どでしたが、皆さんそれぞれ好きなようにリラックスして楽しむ雰囲気です。時間も短すぎず、長過ぎず丁度よく想像以上に大満足！次回も乗りたいと思います。

This is my fourth time participating.
It's incredibly refreshing!
We often join on the last day of our trip.
We take off our sandals on the beach before boarding, and we go barefoot inside the catamaran.
Depending on the waves, you might get splashed!
Make sure to take precautions against sunburn!
If you're lucky, you might even see a honu (sea turtle).

3.4回目の参加になります。
何しろ気分爽快‼️
私たちはよく旅行最終日に参加します。
ビーチでサンダルを脱いで乗船になり、カタマラン内では裸足です。
波によってはビチャーッ❗なんてことも……
日焼け対策はしっかり！
運が良ければホヌ(海亀)も見れます。

It was a great experience!
There were no downsides at all!
I got to see beautiful scenery, and it was a wonderful experience.
Thank you very much!

とてもいい体験でした！
悪い点は一つもありません！
良い景色を見れて、良い体験になりました
ありがとうございました！

It was an amazing experience. We arrive in a boat to a sandbar, the water is clear as crystal and pure. You wan snorkel, play volleyball and tan.
If you have chance you can see turtles as well !

The captain is great, we caught a 250lb blue marlin, perfect itinerary When you meet a 250 lb blue marlin and you make a wow sound, it's awesome

I had 2 teenage granddaughters with me. They tried paddle boarding, snorkeling, and other. I just walked around the sand bar and sat in the floating barge and talked to many others. For me it was very relaxing. And the girls loved it. They met many new friends.

The staff were very cheerful, and it turned into a fun trip! I also signed up for activities, and they were enjoyable! 😊

スタッフの方もとても明るく、楽しい旅になりました！アクティビティも申し込みましたが、たのしかったです(^^)

I was worried it might be scary since I'm not good with roller coasters, but it wasn't scary at all! The scenery and the wind felt great.

ジェットコースター系が苦手なので怖いかなぁと心配していましたが、全く怖くなかったです！
景色と風が気持ちよかったです。

I participated with my 8-year-old son, and he said it was the most fun among all the activities we did. We enjoyed it more than we expected. Thank you very much.

8才の息子と一緒に参加しましたが、
いろんなアクティビティをした中で一番楽しかったと言って喜んでいました。想像以上に楽しめました。ありがとうございました。

This was my third time kayaking, so I didn't take a guide. Before departure, I checked a 10-minute explanation on a tablet. We transported the kayak on a cart for about five minutes to the nearby riverbank, then lifted it off the cart and into the water. This was my first experience in this area, so I was a bit nervous but felt happy when I succeeded. When we reached the beach, a young man asked in English, "It's from a nearby shop, do you need support?" I thought I would be asked for a tip, so I declined with a "No thank you" (he might have been genuinely kind; another young man helped pull the kayak up to the sandy beach when we were leaving).

The uninhabited island seemed to be about 300 meters away, but it was difficult to get on the kayak at the water's edge. We laughed while getting on, even as we tipped over. After that, we paddled right and left, struggling to balance our power, and with the waves, I felt a bit anxious about whether we would be okay. After about ten minutes, we got into a rhythm and arrived at the uninhabited island in about twenty minutes.

After that, we paddled steadily towards the coral reef at Lanikai Beach. We borrowed snorkeling gear, left the kayak on the beach, and went snorkeling. I had put my sunglasses, shoes, and boots in a mesh bag for snorkeling, but since I didn't secure it properly, some of the items floated away. I found a few later, but remember to close the bag tightly. This took about three hours.

After eating, we rented bicycles and went cycling. I had planned to try bodyboarding, but the waves weren't that strong. I paddled quite hard, so I didn't have the energy to think about anything else, which gave me a good sense of fatigue, satisfaction, and accomplishment. The sea and the scenery were very beautiful, and I saw sea turtles swimming.

カヤックは３回目くらいですので、ガイドはつけませんでした。
出発前にタブレットで１０分程度の説明を確認してから出発です。
台車に載せてあるカヤックを、５分くらい近くの川べりまで運んでから、台車からおろして、よいしょと川へ。この辺も初体験なのでちょっとドキドキしながら、できた！とうれしい。浜辺に着くと、お兄さんが「近くのショップのものだが、サポートが必要か？」と英語で聞いてくるので、きっとチップを取られると思い、No thank youとお断り（本当は親切かもしれません。帰るとき別のお兄さんがカヤックを砂浜まで引き上げて助けてくれました。）。
無人島は300mくらい先のようですが、まず波打ち際でカヤックに乗るのが難しい。沈しながら、笑いながら乗船。その後は、右に行ったり、左に行ったり、二人のパワーバランスが揃わず、波もあり、大丈夫なのか？とちょっと不安になりました。１０分くらいすると調子も出てきて、２０分くらいで無人島に到着。
その後は、ラニカイビーチのサンゴ礁を目指してひたすら漕ぐ。シュノーケリングのセットを借りたので、浜辺にカヤックを置いて、シュノーケリング。シュノーケリングを入れる網袋にサングラス、靴、ブーツなどをいれていましたが、口をしっかり留めなかったので、中に入れていたものが流れてしまいました。いくつかはその後見つかりましたが。口をしっかり締めることをお忘れなく。これで３時間くらい。
食後、自転車を借りてサイクリング。ボディーボードをやろうと思っていましたが、それほどの波はありませんでした。
結構必死に漕いだので、他のことを考える余裕もなく、良い疲労感と満足感、そして達成感が得られました。海も景色もとても綺麗でした。ウミガメが泳いでいました。

I experienced it for the first time. It was really high!! Looking down, the sea was far away and the boat looked tiny, and I was genuinely scared thinking the rope might snap and I would fall... My son, who was with me, seemed to be having a great time, but I was too scared to enjoy it at all. I ended up chanting a prayer. The time felt incredibly long. However, towards the end, when we splashed into the water, it was fun. Everyone was getting splashed, and we all laughed together.

The boat staff were friendly and engaging, even with Japanese guests. I definitely recommend experiencing this. It will become a lifelong memory.

As for the meeting point, it took about 20 minutes to walk leisurely from the center of Waikiki while checking Google Maps. You don't need to take the trolley.

初めて体験しました。いやもう高い！！足元を見ると海面も遠くボートもちっちゃく、ロープが切れて落ちるんじゃないかと思うと本当に怖かった、、、。一緒に乗った息子はとても楽しそうでしたが、私は怖すぎて無でした。念仏唱えました。時間もえらく長く感じました。しかし最後の方で水面にぼちゃん！は楽しかった。どの組もぼちゃんやられててみんなで笑いました。
ボートのスタッフは日本人にも気さくにどんどん絡んでくるフレンドリーな方でした。
ぜひ体験することをおすすめします。
一生の思い出になりますよ。

待ち合わせ場所ですが、ワイキキの中心からグーグルマップみながらのんびり歩いてたしか20分くらいでした。トロリー乗らなくても大丈夫ですよ。
