All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

The hotel pickup was on time. A friendly driver took us to the location while providing sightseeing information. The weather at Hanauma Bay was perfect. Since the number of visitors is limited, we were able to enjoy snorkeling in a spacious and relaxed environment. The return pickup time was also accurate, allowing us to spend our time efficiently and as planned.

ホテルのピックアップは予定時間通り。フレンドリーなドライバーが観光案内をしながら現地まで送ってくれました。ハナウマ湾の天気は最高でした。
入場者数が制限されているので、ゆったりとしたスペースでシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。
帰りのお迎え時間も正確で、無駄なく予定通りの時間を過ごすことができました。

The guide had been stood up by his colleague so was operating solo and was so obviously out of his depth. He was very likeable and put in a lot of effort but kept forgetting things and kept going over the same things. It took an age just to get us into the water.
A pleasurable fun day but we won't be using them again.

It was a bit different from the sandbar I had in mind, but my family who accompanied me seemed to enjoy it. I thought the staff's response was very good. I wish the light snack donuts had been malasadas.

思っていたサンドバーとは少し違っていましたが同行していた家族は、それなりに楽しめたようです。スタッフさん達の対応はとても良かったと思いました。軽食のドーナツがマラサダだと良かったなとおもいました。

It was a valuable experience to see the beautiful scenery of Honolulu from the sky! It was also great that it was close to the hotel and within walking distance. Both guides only spoke English, but there were many Japanese people, and the explanations weren't too complicated, so I didn't feel too anxious. I definitely want to recommend this activity!

ホノルルの美しい景色を空から見渡せる貴重な体験でした！
ホテルからも近く歩いて行けたのも良かった。
ガイドさんは２人とも英語しか話せませんが、日本人も多く難しい説明もないのでそんなに不安なこともありません。
是非おすすめしたいアクティビティです！！

Pretty place to go to once maybe twice, tide was up. So you basically are floating or walking on ocean floor

It was high tide, so we couldn't see the beautiful sandbar, but we were able to enjoy the stunning sea! On the boat, they sang songs and served donuts and drinks, so we never got bored. For activities other than kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, we could swim without life jackets.

満潮の時だったので綺麗なサンドバーは見れませんでしたが、十分に綺麗な海を見ることができました！
船の中では歌を歌ってくれたりドーナツやドリンクもサービスされ、退屈することなく過ごせました。
カヤックやSUP以外のアクティビティであればライフジャケットはなしで泳ぐことができました。

I thought a relaxing tour at Kualoa Ranch would be nice, so I chose this option. You can experience the magnificent nature of Hawaii. Next, I think an ATV tour would be good as well.

クアロア・ランチのツアーの中でのんびりツアーも良いかなと思い、これを選択。ハワイの壮大な自然を感じる事が出来ます。次はバギーも良いかと思っております。

It was exciting last time, so I participated for the second time this time. There wasn't a dive into the sea last time, but this time it included a dive, which was a great bonus. Even seniors can enjoy it fully. The crew was great at getting everyone excited, and the atmosphere on the boat was fantastic!! I'm looking forward to the next time.

前回もエキサイティングだったので今回2度目の参加でした。前回は海へのダイブは無かったのですが、今回はダイブ込みで大サービスでした。シニア世代でも十分に楽しめます。クルーの盛り上げも上手でボート内は大盛り上がり！！次回も楽しみです。

For the Kailua Beach tour, I was advised to go to Lanikai first, and I followed that suggestion. It's about a 2-mile walk from the shop to Lanikai. Walking in the blazing sun with kids was tough. I planned to go to Lanikai in the morning and Kailua in the afternoon, but I barely managed to return from Lanikai and grab lunch.

However, Lanikai's beach was as beautiful as I saw on TV. The natural beach, different from Waikiki, was amazing. Next time, I want to try sea kayaking with my kids.

I will definitely go again!

カイルアビーチのツアーですが、ラニカイに先に行くことを勧められ、その通りに。ショップからラニカイまで片道2マイル位。炎天下を歩くのは、こどもを連れて歩くのは厳しかったです。午前ラニカイ→午後カイルアと予定しましたが、ラニカイから戻ってランチを貰うことで精いっぱい。
でも、ラニカイはテレビで見た通りに砂浜が綺麗。ワイキキとは違う天然ビーチは最高でした。今度は子供と一緒にシーカヤックにも挑戦したい、です。

また行きます‼

I used this for my honeymoon. Experiencing parasailing and the bumper tube made for unforgettable memories. While it was certainly fun, I would like to point out a few negatives:

- The video purchase was too expensive (I believe it was about $90 for two videos).
- The waiting time was too long (we waited a total of 2-3 hours on the boat. It would be good to have something to wear to keep warm).

Additionally, although it's unavoidable, there were people with snacks and transportation included, which varied depending on the booking source. If you're going to do the bumper tube, it's a good idea to bring your own goggles.

新婚旅行で利用しました。パラセイリングとバンパーチューブを体験し思い出に残るものとなりました。
楽しかったことはもちろんですがあえてマイナス点を以下あげます。
・動画購入が高すぎる(確か2本で90ドルほどしました)
・待機時間が長すぎる(船の上で合計2-3時間待機しました。冷えないように羽織るものがあると良いです)
また、仕方の無いことですが、軽食や送迎付きの人もいて予約元によってバラバラでした。
バンパーチューブをする方は、ゴーグルを持参すると良いです。

During our stay, we requested two lessons. My 8-year-old son discovered the joy of surfing during the first lesson. Right after the first lesson ended, we made a reservation for the next day. Since Matt, the instructor, was so kind, we arranged for the second lesson with him as well! I was amazed that he was already standing on the board during the first lesson, but he improved even more during the second lesson, so I’m grateful that we decided to do it.

For the second lesson, we were at a location a bit farther away, so we couldn't take photos from the beach, but the photographer took some wonderful pictures for us. My son is already saying, "Next time we go to Hawaii, I want to surf every day!" Waikiki BeachBoys is a school where not only the coaches but all the staff are warm and welcoming, and I definitely want to request lessons again! Thank you very much.

滞在中に 2回レッスンをお願いしました。
1回目のレッスンですっかりサーフィンの楽しさを知った8歳の息子。
1回目のレッスンが終わったその場で、翌日の予約をお願いしました。
マット先生が優しく教えてくれたので、 2回目も同じマット先生で調整していただきました！
1回目さえ、もうボードに立ってる！と驚きましたが、1回目より 2回目の方が更に上達していたので、お願いする価値があったなぁと感謝しています。
2回目は、少し離れた場所でレッスンをしてもらったので、ビーチからは写真が撮れなかったのですが、カメラマンがしっかりと素敵な写真を撮ってきてくれます。
「次にハワイに行く時は、毎日サーフィンをしたい！」と今から息子は言っています。
Waikiki BeachBoysさんは、コーチだけでなく、スタッフの皆さんが温かくて、是非またレッスンをお願いしたいなと思うスクールです！
ありがとうございました。

Since we were staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, we arrived at the check-in hut in about a 5-minute walk from the hotel. The woman at the reception gave us some mineral water.

Our reservation was for 1 PM, but it ended up being just the two of us. The two male staff members were very kind and spoke in clear English that was easy for us to understand, allowing us to take off smoothly. The view from the sky of Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head, and even the airport in the distance was breathtaking and exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend that anyone who hasn't tried parasailing on their trip to Hawaii definitely participate.

ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジに宿泊していたので、ホテルから歩いて5分程度で受付小屋に到着。受付の女性からミネラルウォーターをいただきました。
１３時の予約でしたが、私たち夫婦２名のみでの出発になりました。男性２名の方が親切でまた英語が苦手な私たちにも分かりやすい英語で話しかけてくれて、スムーズに飛び立つこともできました。空からのワイキキビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッド、遠くは空港まで見渡すことができ、想像以上の景色に感動。ハワイ旅行でパラセイリング未体験の方は是非参加されることをお勧めします。

It was said to be a location tour, but I was very satisfied with just the magnificent mountain ranges and the cruise. The guide spoke English, and there were no issues at all.

ロケ地めぐりとのことでしたが、大自然の山並み、クルーズだけでも大変満足できました。
英悟でのガイドでしたが全く問題ありませんでした。

The view of Waikiki from the sky was amazing. I was worried because I have a fear of heights, but it was stable in the air and I wasn't scared at all. I was captivated by the beautiful scenery, and the time flew by. Also, if you're prone to seasickness, be prepared. The woman in the couple riding with us looked very uncomfortable.

空からみるワイキキの景色は最高でした。
高所恐怖症なので心配していましたが、空中では安定しており全く怖くありませんでした。美しい風景に見とれていて、あっという間の時間でした。
あと、船に弱い方は覚悟してください。同乗していたカップルの女性はとても辛そうでした。

Timely pick-up and drop-off
Clean car
Beautiful sea
Polite guidance
No worries in Japan!
It's great
I want to participate again
Thank you very much
I was very satisfied to see the sea turtles

時間どうりの送迎

日本には不安無し！
いいですよ
また参加したいです
ありがとうございました
ウミガメにも会えたい大満足です

We had so much fun. It was an awesome adventure . Their set up was so seamless. Boat crew was very knowledgeable and professional

We had a wonderfully delightful time, and would highly recommend this event.

I came to Hawaii for a company trip. I participated in activities here with my colleagues. Many of us were almost first-timers, but with kind and thorough guidance, we were able to do well! It was fun to see the turtles too. Thank you, Dan and Chieko!

社員旅行でハワイに来ました。同僚たちとこちらのアクティビティに参加させて頂きました。ほぼ初めてのメンバーが多かったのですが親切かつ丁寧な指導で上手くできるようになりました！カメにも会えて楽しかったです。ダンさんチエコさんありがとうございました。

This tour was amazing. The staff was friendly and so helpful. There was so many things to do, you could snorkel, kayak, paddle-board or play beach volleyball. They even have this area where you can hang out on the water float and just relax in the sun. I will definitely be doing this excursion next year. We took my mom for her birthday and she had an absolute blast. The water was so clear and I got so lucky to see a sea turtle while I was kayaking. The tour also has live singers aboard, which makes the tour 10 times better, they were awesome. This tour was 10 out of 10 and thank you again to the staff for being so awesome!

It was a really great experience. If you're going to do it, definitely choose the 150m height! I'm glad I did it. However, I can't really recommend purchasing the photos. I was also considering another parasailing company, but I chose this one because it was cheaper due to a campaign.

First of all, the guy taking the photos was getting ready with the camera just as we were going up, but I don't know if he didn't have an SD card in or if it was full, but he was changing the SD card after we started going up. I was up there thinking, "Wait, seriously?" and that made it hard for me to enjoy the start with my husband and child. In the end, it was decided that there would be no photos of the moment we took off. Honestly, I thought it was the worst. But since I had already mentioned that I wanted to buy the photos, I had no choice but to go through with it. They took photos of everyone, and I was shown the pictures afterward, but I wish there was a system where I could think about whether to buy them after seeing them. Looking back at the photos later, the others were also not great; I couldn't recognize anyone, and there were very few pictures, which was really disappointing. Even though it can't be helped if the faces are hard to see due to backlighting, I at least wanted more pictures!

The other company I was considering apparently sends photos via SD and AirDrop, and their reviews were really good, so I should have gone with them even if it was more expensive. It was even more disappointing because the older man and the younger guy were really nice. The experience itself was good though. ^_^

体験としてはとっても良い体験でした。
高さはせっかくなら150mを選んでください！やって良かったです。
ただ写真の購入はあまりオススメできないかも。。もう一つパラセイリングする会社を悩んでいて、今回キャンペーンでこちらの方が安かったのでこちらにしたんですが、
まず写真を撮るお兄さんは上空に上がって行く瞬間にカメラを構えてたんですが、SDが入っていなかったのか、いっぱいだったのか分かりませんが、上がりだしてからSDを変えてて、上にいる私は、えっ？まじで？ってなって、まずそれが気になって夫と子供のようにスタートを素直に楽しめませんでした。結局出発する瞬間の写真はないことが決定。ぶっちゃけ、最悪。って、思いました。けど、写真購入を先に伝えてしまっていたので、買うしかありませんでした。全員分とりあえず撮って、撮った写真見せてもらって、
後から買うかどうか考えられるシステムにすればいいのになぁ。と、思いました。後から写真を見返しても他の写真もイマイチ、誰だか全く分からないし、枚数も少ないから、ほんと残念でした。逆光で顔分からないの仕方ないとしても、せめて枚数は撮ってほしい！
悩んでいたもう一方の会社はＳＤとエアドロでも送ってくれるらしく、写真の口コミがすごい良かったので、高くてもそちらにすれば良かったです。感じのいいおじさんとお兄さんだったから、尚更残念です。体験としては良かったです^_^

My first parasailing experience. The view from above was amazing, and the staff were friendly and made it fun.

初めてのパラセイリング。
上空からの素晴らしい景色、最高でした。
スタッフの方が親切で楽しかったです。

The view from above is amazing! The two staff members were also kind, and the atmosphere throughout the experience was enjoyable. Since all groups were landing, I think it's necessary to inform them in advance if you don't want to do that. I was nervous before flying, but there was no fear, so I would like to try it again if I have the chance.

上からの景色は素晴らしいです！
2名のスタッフの方も親切で体験中は終始楽しいムードでした。
着水は全グループしてたので、したくない場合は事前に伝える必要ありかなと思います。
飛ぶ前は緊張しましたが、怖さはなかったのでまた機会があればやってみたいです。

We gathered early in the morning and took about an hour to get to Hanauma Bay. I chose a plan with an English-speaking driver instead of one with a Japanese-speaking instructor or driver to save on costs, but I didn't have any particular issues. As long as I knew the meeting time and place for the return, I was fine.

Since it was early in the morning, it was still a bit chilly, so we leisurely claimed our spot on the sand and ate the breakfast we brought before going snorkeling.

We had about four hours, which I thought was more than enough time.

There were seals or sea lions on the beach, and we saw many fish while snorkeling. By the way, it seems that there are more fish on the left side of the beach.

Due to its popularity, people started arriving in droves around 10 AM, and it got crowded.

朝早くから集合して約1時間くらいかけてハナウマ湾へ行きます。
お値段を気にして日本語がわかるインストラクターやドライバーのプランではなく英語のドライバーでしたが特に困ったことはありませんでした。
帰りの集合時間と場所さえわかれば大丈夫です。

朝方なのでまだ寒いのでのんびり砂浜で場所とりして買ってきた朝ごはんを食べてからシュノーケリングしました。

時間は4時間ほどあるので十分すぎると思います。

浜にアザラシ？トド？がいたりシュノーケリングも多くの魚が見れました。
ちなみに浜の左側が魚が多いようです。

人気のため10時頃からぞくぞくと人が来て混雑してました。

I went parasailing for the first time. It was fun. I boarded with six groups of people and took turns parasailing. Since it was a small boat, it rocked quite a bit, but if you think of it as cruising, the scenery was amazing. Thank you very much.

初めてパラセーリングしました
楽しかったです
6組の人達と乗船して順番にパラセーリング
小さなボートでしたので結構揺れましたがクルージングだと思えば景色も最高でした
ありがとうございました。

This was our first experience snorkelling and it was absolutely amazing. Our reef guide Kalini made the experience so special, he was extremely knowledgeable about the fish we could see and spent time getting to know us so he could make our experience personal. There were many other activities available on the sandbar but we were having such a great time snorkelling we didn’t get around to doing anything else. I would highly recommend this activity.

I had done things in Okinawa, but the height is completely different, and the scenery is amazing. I was so moved...!!! It was the best!

沖縄でやったことはあったのですが高さが全然違うし景色も素晴らしいし感動しました⋯！！！最高でした！

I am now a HUGE fan of these bikes. I just booked this tour to keep my husband busy and It was the perfect way to start our vacation. K since I can’t remember is beautiful name was an awesome guide. My husband and I were the only ones that signed up for that particular day and to have the guide all to ourselves was a special treat. K was so informative and kept up or slowed down to our pace and we got to hang with the turtles in the area.
I highly recommend adding this water bike tour to your itinerary.

Doug was an absolutely amazing guide! I ended up being the only person who could make it to the tour due to traffic for the others, and Doug made sure to make me feel both comfortable and prepared for the experience. It was my first time doing anything other than some light snorkeling and he did a wonderful job briefing me and making sure I was all set and knew what to do and expect. He was also very friendly and welcoming and by the end we knew a fair amount about each other which almost made it feel like diving with a knowledgeable buddy.

Once we got in the water I was blown away by the amount and variety of fish instantly visible, and the whole tour seemed to have something new and interesting to see every time I turned around. Doug did a great job of pointing things out and getting tons of amazing pictures. Being the only one to make it to the tour that day worked in my favor as we were able to stay out longer and Doug took the opportunity to show me as much as he could.

This was an absolutely amazing experience, and the highlight of an already great trip! I highly recommend it to anyone, whether you're an experienced diver or a complete novice like me!

The weather was nice, and above all, the instructors were all great. They took many wonderful photos, and I was so happy about that. I would like to request this again.

お天気も良く、何より、インストラクターの方々が良い方ばかりでした。素敵な写真も沢山撮って下さって最高でに嬉しかったです。
またお願いしたいです。

My family and I really enjoyed our trip to Oahu and this excursion! The crew was amazing — super friendly, helpful, and made sure everyone was having a great time. The local Hawaiian music they played on the boat was excellent and really added to the overall vibe. Snorkeling and paddle boarding were a blast, and the views out on the bay were absolutely beautiful.

The only reason I didn’t give it a full five stars is because we didn’t really get to see the sandbar. The water was up to my chest (I’m 5’11”), so it didn’t quite have that “standing on the sandbar” experience we were hoping for. Still, it was a really fun and relaxing trip that I’d definitely recommend to anyone visiting Oahu!
