All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

It was my first time surfing, but the instructor was skilled, and I was able to succeed right away. There were also staff members who spoke Japanese, including Yamazaki, which was very helpful. Hula, hula.

初めのサーフィンでしたが、インストラクターの肩が上手で、すぐに成功することができました。ヤマザキをはじめとして日本語が話せるスタッフもいて、とても助かりました。ふらんすあ、ふらんすあ。

I booked this activity in the middle of my 3-night, 5-day trip.

To put it simply, I’m glad I experienced it!

Reasons include:
- The staff were entertaining.
- The speed of the boat to the parasailing point and during the parasailing was incredible!
- I was surprised by the flow of getting lifted into the air from the boat!
- While parasailing, I was a bit scared of the height, but the view was breathtaking.

If you're interested, I definitely recommend giving it a try!

3泊5日の中日にこのアクティビティを予約。

簡潔に感想言うと体験して良かった！

理由として
・スタッフさんが面白い
・パラセイリングのポイントまでとパラセイリング中のボートのスピード感半端ない！
・ボートから宙に浮くまでの流れにビックリ！
・パラセイリング中はあまりの高所にビビりながらも絶景に感動

とにかく気になったら体験してみては？

To enter Hanauma Bay on your own, it seems you have to win the reservation battle that only starts a few days in advance, so if you want to go to Hanauma Bay, I think it's safer to use the provided services. During our visit, we were fortunate with the weather, and since it was mid-March, we were able to venture further out. We were able to see sea turtles and yellowfin tuna, and it was great that we could later share photos. Since you snorkel for nearly an hour, I think it's a good idea to rent a wetsuit. The weather was good, but even so, I was glad to have the wetsuit towards the end.

自力でハナウマ湾に入るには（数日前にしか始まらない）予約争奪戦を勝ち取らなければならないそうなので、ハナウマ湾に行きたいなら無難に利用するのが良いのかなと思いました。我々の時は天候にも恵まれ、3月半ばだったこともあり、沖の方にも出ることができました。無事ウミガメやギンガメアジを見ることもできたし、写真も後ほど共有してもらえたりとありがたかったです。1時間近くシュノーケリングするのでウェットスーツを借りておくのが無難かなぁと思います。天候は良かったですが、それでも最後の方はウェットスーツがあって良かったなと思いました。

We participated in a two-person kayak with six people in total. At first, it was very refreshing to paddle through the beautiful sea, but as we got out into the open water, there were some waves, and my two sons got seasick. We managed to reach the cave, but we decided to turn back halfway. One of the two instructors helped us by pulling back the kayak that had one of my sons who got sick and couldn't paddle anymore. Although we felt like we were causing trouble, they helped us with smiles and no complaints, which was really appreciated. Everyone, don't forget to take motion sickness medication when sea kayaking. I feel like we could have enjoyed it even more if there had been snorkeling, but it was fun even up to that point, and it left a good memory. Also, the activity I participated in was conducted entirely in English.

二人乗りのカヤック3つに6人が乗る形で参加しました。
最初は綺麗な海の中をカヤックで進んでいくのは非常に爽快でしたが、外海に出るに連れて少し波もあったため
息子２人が海で酔ってしまいました。
洞窟の前までは行けたんですが、途中で帰ることに。インストラクターの2人のうち1人が、1人が酔ったため疲れて進まなくなったカヤックを1つずつ引っ張って連れて帰ってくれました。
迷惑をかけてしまいましたが嫌な顔せず、笑顔で助けてくれて本当に助かりました。皆さん、シーカヤックでは酔い止めは忘れずに。
本当であればシュノーケリングもあってもっと楽しめたと気もしますが、途中まででも楽しかったし、十分記憶には残ったので良かったです。
あと、私が参加したアクティビティは完全英語でした。

My daughter enjoyed her private lesson with Moe and really enjoyed his knowledge.

She recommends Moe for a private lesson to anyone looking to improve their skills.

We participated as a couple on our honeymoon. Both of us were new to snorkeling and felt a bit anxious before joining, but once we got started, it was so much fun that we completely forgot our worries! The instructors were very friendly and taught us various things in a bright and enjoyable manner, and we got to see many beautiful fish and sea turtles. This was our first time having such a wonderful experience, and we had a great time! Thank you very much!

ハネムーンで夫婦2人で参加しました。2人ともシュノーケリングは初めてで、参加するまでは不安もありましたが、参加してみたら楽しくて楽しくて、不安感なんて全然ありませんでした！とてもフレンドリーに明るく楽しくいろいろなことを教えていただけて、たくさんの綺麗なお魚やウミガメに出会うことが出来ました。こんな素敵な経験初めてで、とても楽しかったです！ありがとうございました！

There were many participants who were not Japanese, and there was a group that was just too noisy, making it hard to hear the instructions. Although a staff member who understood Japanese explained things individually, it was too loud to hear. People were vaping and even entering the sea with alcohol, yet no one was reprimanding them. I was really looking forward to it, but I couldn't do either stand-up paddleboarding or canoeing. I'm very disappointed.

日本人以外が多く参加しており、とにかく騒いでるグループがいて、注意事項等々聞こえず、日本語のわかるスタッフさんが個別に説明してくださいましたが、うるさ過ぎて聞こえませんでした。
電子タバコをふかしたり…アルコールを持ったまま海に入っていても誰も注意していなかったです。
凄く楽しみにしていたのにサップもカヌーも出来ませんでした。ガッカリです

My family had our first try with snuba and loved it !! Our guides showed us turtles and even a small octopus!! We would do this again.

We did the rainforest kayak trip. Staff was friendly and the launch spot was easy to find with the map sent in email so make sure you have that handy. The trip was very peaceful and pretty. It was a bit narrow in spots. Overall would recommend!

I went snorkeling with a light heart among young people. Thanks to the instructor who guided us without letting go of our hands, I was able to swim for an hour. The waves were rough that day, and I don't think I could have made it on my own, so I'm grateful. Because of that, I had the memorable experience of encountering turtles twice and swimming with them. I was tired, but it was fun.

若い人に混じって軽い気持ちでシュノーケリングしました。
インストラクターの人がずっと手を離さず先導してくれたおかげで、1時間泳ぎ切ることできました。
この日は波が荒く、ひとりでは泳ぎ切れなかったと思うので感謝です。
おかげで、亀にも2度遭遇して一緒に泳いだこと、とても記念になりました。
疲れたけど楽しかったです。

It was a cloudy and chilly day, and the guide recommended renting wetsuits to prevent injuries from the cold and coral. It was definitely the right decision to rent them since we passed very close to the coral.

I was truly thrilled to encounter sea turtles. The guide was bright and very kind, and I greatly appreciated their help. It was a memorable experience for the whole family.

If I have the opportunity to go again someday, I would love to join you.

曇り空で肌寒い日でガイドさんが寒さと珊瑚でケガをするのを予防する為、ウエットスーツのレンタルを勧めてくれました。
珊瑚の上ギリギリのところも通ったので貸りて大正解でした。

海亀と遭遇出来て本当に感激でした。
明るくとても親切でガイドさんには大変お世話になりました。
家族皆んなで参加出来、一生の思い出になりました。

またいつか行く機会があったら是非ご一緒させて頂きたいです。

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, but I still had a great time! I think even those with a fear of heights won't find it too scary since it's over the sea! The sea breeze feels nice, and the driver, who was quite energetic, made it even better!

あいにく天気は曇りでしたがそれでもとても楽しかったです！
高所恐怖症の方でも下は海なのでそんなに怖くないとおもいます！
海風も気持ちよいし、運転手も飛ばしてくれる方(?)もテンション高めで最高です！

Great time parasailing. The boat crew were very friendly and knowledgeable. It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience! The check in process was very smooth, and they even offer photo services which is a great idea

This experience is well worth the time and effort. Sacred falls is beautiful and swimming under the falls is a once in a lifetime opportunity that should not be missed. Bring along some good wet shoes and be prepared for a fun kayak trip down the river, a beautiful hike to the falls and then the big payoff at the end. Steve did a great job, and this comes highly recommended.

My elderly mother was able to relax and enjoy a comfortable time without worry. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was stunning against the blue sky.

高齢の母も安心して喜んでのんびりゆったりと快適な時間を過ごしました
海から見るワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッドは青空とともに絶景でした

It was thrilling. There were staff members who spoke Japanese and provided detailed explanations. They took photos and videos with a GoPro, which I purchased as a keepsake. I also appreciated that there was no pressure regarding the photos, which made it even more appealing. You can't experience this in Japan. I want to go again.

スリル満点でした。日本語が喋れるスタッフがいて説明も丁寧に教えてくれました。GoProでの写真、動画撮影をしてくれたので 購入し思い出となりました。写真なども強制感が無かったところがまた魅力的に感じました。日本だと味わえないです。また行きたいです。

March 11, 8 AM Course

We were blessed with good weather, and it became a wonderful memory with a cheerful instructor and four groups. Thank you very much.

３月１１日 ８時発コース

天候にも恵まれて、４組で陽気なインストラクターで素晴らしい思い出になりました。
どうもありがとうございました。

The people were fantastic and the fishing was great! My son (10) and I had a blast! My son also really enjoyed seeing whales and sea turtles on our trip. We highly recommend this excursion for anyone!

Great staff, explained everything properly, I’ve been here before and came back with family, because I had great memories from being here before - best kayak rental place on Oahu in my opinion. We did not take any pictures because we wanted to keep our phones safe but you get to see a lot of awesome wildlife! Thank you so much for awesome memories!

It was very meaningful. Since it was my first time in Hawaii in a while and my stay was short, I wanted to make the most of my time. Choosing a tour with transportation instead of a rental car was the right decision. It included lunch, which was a great deal, and it satisfied my desire to go snorkeling and explore the city. The Japanese staff, Natsue and Emi, were very attentive to what the participants wanted, and I had a very pleasant experience. Thank you very much.

大変有意義でした。
久々のハワイだった事と、短い滞在だったので、時間を有効に使いたいと思い
レンタカーではなく、送迎付きのツアーにして正解でした。ランチも付いていてお得だし、シュノーケルも街歩きもしたいという欲張りな要求が満たせました。日本人スタッフのナツエさんとエミさんは参加者がどうしたいかをきめ細やかに察知してくださり、とても心地よく過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

I used this for my honeymoon. The weather was perfect on the day, and with calm winds, we had a stunning view of Diamond Head and the entire Maunalua Bay area, creating the best memories.

*Since the boat is small, it does sway quite a bit (which is fun too), but if you are prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must. It takes a bit of time to get out to sea.

The parasailing time is 6-7 minutes, but it was thrilling enough, so it felt like plenty of time.

The captain and the pilot were both very cheerful and unique, making for a fun experience throughout!

ハネムーンで利用しました。当日は天気に恵まれ、風も落ち着いた中、ダイヤモンドヘッドからマワラ湾一帯を一望でき、最高の思い出になりました。

※船が小型のため、なかなか揺れます(それも楽しいですが)乗り物酔いしやすい方は酔い止め必須です。
沖に出るまでそれなりに移動します。

パラセイル時間は6-7分ですが、スリル満点のため、十分な時間でした。

キャプテンと操縦士もとても明るくユニークな方で、終始楽しいひとときでした！

The crew was amazing! The watersports we did was so much fun! Snorkeling and water volleyball was so cool, a turtle just swam up by our net and popped in to say hi! Views were incredible as well! Highly recommend this tour

I communicated my lack of confidence in swimming, so they were attentive and held my hand, allowing me to swim without anxiety. Seeing the beautiful fish and coral made the stress from the long COVID-19 pandemic disappear. I was able to rent a bodysuit and prescription mask, and the two instructors who spoke Japanese were very kind. I would like to use this service again. Thank you!

泳ぎに自信がない事を伝えていたので気を配ってくれ、手をつないでもらい不安なく泳ぎました。
きれいな魚や珊瑚をみて長かったコロナ禍でのストレスが吹っ飛びました。
レンタルのボディスーツ、度付きマスクも借りれて日本語の分かるお二人のインストラクターの方が優しいです。
また利用したいです。
ありがとうございました！

Was a great day and the team were amazing and really looked after us

In the afternoon plan, there was a banana boat and a bumper tube included. Unfortunately, due to high tide, we couldn't see the sandy beach, but we had a great time with marine sports in the beautiful sea. There were restrooms and changing rooms available (although they weren't very clean...). It was convenient with pick-up and drop-off from downtown Waikiki.

午後プランで、バナナボートとバンパーチューブ付きでした。
あいにく満潮で、砂浜を目にすることはできませんでしたが、綺麗な海でマリンスポーツ、とっても楽しかったです。
トイレ、更衣室付きでした(あまり綺麗ではありませんが。。)
ワイキキ市内から送迎付きで、便利でした。

always wanted to paddle out to the sandbar, but unfortunately picked the gale force wind day of the week to try it. On arrival seeing the white caps and some amateur kayakers struggling to paddle 10ft in the wind, basically paddling in place, I knew that this was going to be a rough adventure. Talking to the young staff girl, she stated that we could get a refund for the inclimate weather and typed it into the notes to the booker veltra. I said absolutely and we'll save this adventure for a different day. Thankyou state park girl, and because of that I would book this again.

Kayaking was my first experience, but with careful guidance, I happily arrived at the cave. Despite the rough weather, the sea was calm, making it enjoyable for beginners. I didn't encounter any whales or dolphins, but I would like to try again.

カヤックは初めての体験でしたが、丁寧に指導していただいて、洞窟まで楽しく到着しました。荒れた天候の合間でしたが海も穏やかで初心者も楽しめます。
鯨やイルカは会えませでしたが、またチャレンジしたいです。

I chose Waikiki Beach because there are many high-rise hotels, and I wanted to spend time at a relaxing beach. Since I was with a toddler and a baby, we didn't do any specific activities; we just took a walk and played with the floaties we borrowed, but we were more than happy and satisfied. It was still a bit chilly for swimming, so there were few people, allowing us to fully enjoy the quiet and beautiful waters of Hawaii. The pizza for lunch had a mountain of minced garlic on it, so it might be a bit much for those sensitive to smells. In the afternoon, we went to the city and found many toys and goods from the popular Canadian anime, Paw Patrol, which we were able to purchase.

ワイキキビーチは高層ホテルが多いので、のんびりした雰囲気のビーチで過ごしたくて申し込みました。幼児とベビー連れだったので、アクティビティは特に何もせずに、お散歩と貸してもらった浮き輪で遊びましたが、充分喜んで満足していました。まだ、海水も少し冷たい時期なので人も少なく、静かで美しいハワイの海を満喫できました。ランチのピザはみじん切りのニンニクが山ほど振りかけてあるので臭いの気になる人は微妙かもしれません。午後は街に行ってマートに日本でも人気のカナダのアニメ、バウパトのオモチャやグッズがたくさんあったので購入することもできました。

The driver was half-Japanese and handsome, and his Japanese was also very good. After arriving at Kailua Beach, there were Japanese staff members who kindly taught us various things. You can rent lockers, which is helpful for storing your belongings when going to the beach. It was quite windy on the day we visited, and the sea was a bit rough, but Kailua Beach was very beautiful, and the water was wonderfully clear. I think the coral reefs would look even more beautiful on a sunny day. Next time I go to Hawaii, I want to try again on a nice weather day.

The pizza we chose for lunch was a quarter size, but it was really big and incredibly delicious. The bike options available were also enjoyable, and we rode to town while taking in the scenery like locals... If you bring Wi-Fi with you, you can navigate anywhere without getting lost!

送迎の彼はハーフでイケメン、日本語も上手です。カイルアビーチ到着後も日本人スタッフの方がいて、とても親切に色々教えて下さいました。
ロッカーを借りれるのでビーチに行く時の荷物もたすかります。当日強風で海が少し荒れていましたが、カイルアのビーチはとても綺麗で海の透明度も素敵でした。お天気ならもっと珊瑚のリーフが綺麗だろうなと思います。次回ハワイに行く際はお天気の日に再度チャレンジしたいと思います。
ランチにチョイスしたピザも4／1サイズですが、
すごく大きくてめちゃくちゃ美味しかったです。
選べるオプションの自転車も気持ちよく、タウンまで街並みを見ながら地元っ子のように…
Wi-Fi持参してるとどこでも迷わずいけちゃいますよ！

I signed up for a plan with my family for 5 people. Since it was my first time trying SUP, I booked a private lesson. In the first 5 to 10 minutes, we received explanations on how to hold the paddle, how to get on the board, and how to stand, and then we headed to the sea. After that, it felt like we were practicing on our own.

On the day, the wind was strong, making it difficult for beginners to stand and paddle. While sitting on the board, the instructor helped us ride the waves, and even though we struggled, we managed to have fun. However, I didn't feel like I received much of a lesson.

Also, I thought the photos were quite expensive. It was $30 per person, totaling $150 for 5 people, with each person getting about 10 photos (including similar ones).

5名参加プランに家族で申込しました
SUPは初めてだったので、プライベートレッスンを申し込みましたが、最初の5〜10分程でパドルの持ち方、ボードの乗り方、立ち方の説明を受け、海へ
その後は、各自実践という感じで‥
当日は風も強くて、初心者には立ってパドルを漕ぐのは難しかったです

ボードに座った状態で、インストラクターさんが波に乗せてくたりして、できないなりに楽しく過ごせましたが、レッスンを受けた感じはないかな

あとは、やはり写真が高いかなぁと思いました
1人30ドル、5人で150ドルでした
1人だいたい10枚（同じような写真を含めて）
