All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

This was a great experience and a definite must if your visiting Oahu. Kayaking over coral reefs and clear blue green water. It was so nice to walk around on the sandbar surrounded by beautiful water. The staff were all so helpful and knowledgeable. It was easy to find and easy to book. So glad we did it!

The crew was great! the music was awesome. The kids loved it and us parents were so happy with how the day went. Thoroughly recommend this trip!

I participated in this activity because I heard you could do activities in Heaven's Sea. There were a lot of participants, so we were a bit delayed in departing. On the boat, there were two singers who kept the atmosphere lively until we reached the sandbar, making it feel like a club.

After about ten minutes, we arrived at Heaven's Sea, and I was impressed by how clear and beautiful the water was. However, the water level was about chest-high, which was disappointing as it was similar to a regular sea. On the plus side, we were able to enjoy activities like stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, and snorkeling, so we had a lot of fun playing around.

天国の海でアクティビティーもできるということでこちらに参加しました。
参加人数が多くわちゃわちゃして出発が少し遅れていました。船内では2人の歌い手がいてサンドバーに着くまで盛り上げてくれクラブみたいでした。
１０分程で天国の海に着き水は透明で綺麗で感激しました。ただ水位は胸ぐらいまであり、通常の海とかわらずで残念でした。
その分supやカヌーがシュノーケリングなどできたので沢山遊べて楽しかったです。

The meeting place was near the Hilton Lagoon, which was easy to find.
The other guests were four Americans.
After about 15 minutes on the jet boat, we took turns putting on parachutes.
I was asked if I wanted photos, but I declined; however, those who wanted them could purchase an SD card for $40.
I chose the lower height of 120 meters, but it was still high enough. The view was excellent, and I could see the ocean far away, with Diamond Head visible nearby.
In the end, thanks to the pilot's charm, we were dropped into the sea up to our chests, so it's better to wear a swimsuit.
On the way back, we went fast, so it was quite bumpy. I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to it.
They asked for a $20 tip, but I didn't have cash, so we gave $20 for the two of us.

集合場所はヒルトンラグーンの近くで、分かりやすかったです。
私達以外のお客さんは、アメリカ人の方4名でした。
ジェットボートで15分ほど行ったところで、順番にパラシュートを装着します。
写真が欲しいか聞かれたので、断わりましたが、欲しい人は$40でSDカードが購入できます。
120mの低い方の高さを選択しましたが、十分に高かったです。見晴らしはとても良く、海は遠くまで見渡せ、ダイヤモンドヘッドも近くに見えました。
最後は、操縦士さんの愛嬌で、胸まで海にポチャンと落とされます。なので、水着を着用した方が良いです。
帰りは飛ばすので、かなり揺れます。酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲むことをオススメします。
チップ$20とお願いされましたが、私は現金がなかったので、2人で$20渡しました。

The Hilton Grand Waikikian is conveniently located just a three-minute walk from the meeting point, and this was my first time booking.

I was told that Japanese was not spoken, but the staff at the reception did their best to communicate in Japanese.

Additionally, the staff on the boat helped ease the tension before the flight by creating a lively atmosphere.

I chose the 1,000 feet option, and it felt like we flew longer than expected. It was exhilarating, and my son, who has a fear of heights, was thrilled.

I definitely want to fly again next time!

ヒルトングランドワイキキアン泊で集合場所まで徒歩3分と利便性も良く初めて申し込みをしました。

日本語が通じないとの事でしたが、受付の方は一生懸命日本語で対応してくれました。

また船上のスタッフの方々は、飛ぶ前の緊張感を少しでも和らげる為に盛り上げて下さいました。

1000フィートを選択しましたが、思いの外長く飛ばしてくれてた様に感じました。
兎に角、爽快でしたし、高所恐怖症の息子も大喜びでした。

また、次回も飛んでみたいと思います！

I highly recommend to book with this company. Everyone, from the Captain, to the crew, to the people who assist in the sign in are amazing. They already provide the equipment for most of the activities and you have the option to have a meal. They also provide water and lemonade drinks. Had a great, amazing time.

We've been to Honolulu a number of times and only found this awesome tour this visit!

Apart from the weather, wow what an amazing trip it was.

The sandbar is obviously tidal which wasn't in our favour but the water was warm and low enough where you could walk along the ocean floor to the floating barge for a sit and relax in the open.

The only thing I could suggest is that they serve drinks as well at an extra cost or even include it in the price.

Would do this tour again in a heart beat...hopefully with lots of sunshine next time

In Miyako Island, we had to give up on parasailing due to bad weather, but in Hawaii, we were able to do it in perfect conditions. I was the second to fly, and I was nervous seeing how high the first person went, but before I knew it, it was our turn, and we quickly ascended into the sky. It was more stable and quiet than I expected, and the view included Waikiki and Diamond Head. I felt like I was monopolizing this amazing scenery without any fear; it was the best feeling. The crew's handling of the parachute was perfect, and whether it was splashing down into the sea with just our lower bodies or landing smoothly, every group managed it effortlessly. I'm really glad we did it.

宮古島では、天候不良の為、断念したパラセイリング今回ハワイでは、絶好のコンディションで出来ました。
二番目に飛びましたが、最初の人の高さにビビってドキドキしてましたが、すぐに自分達の番になり、あっど言う間に上空へ、思ったより安定して静かに昇って行って見渡す先はワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッド、怖さも無くこの景色を独占している感じ、最高の気分でした。
クルーのパラシュートさばきも完璧で、着船前の海に下半身だけチャブンも、スムーズな着船も、どのグループも自由自在にこなしてました。
ホントやって良かった。

My family and I visited in October 2022 and rented paddle boards. We had an amazing paddle up the river which followed a beautiful hike up to the Falls It started raining on our way back but it was still an amazing experience. It was super easy yo rent the boards and they instructed us well on how to position them for travel. Definitely recommend and will hopefully return again.

This is my first time in three years.
I travel every year looking forward to enjoying jet skiing.
It's the same this year.
I had a great time, thank you.

今回は3年ぶり。
毎年ジェットスキーを楽しみにして
渡航してます。
今年もです
楽しかったありがとう。

It was great to be able to do exactly what I wanted to do! The tour guide was cheerful and spoke in Japanese, which made it easy to understand.

自分がやりたいことをやりたいだけやれるのが良かった‼️添乗員も明るくて日本語で話してくれて分かりやすかった。

What an amazing way to culturally connect with the indigenous peoples of Hawaii by sailing the beautiful waters like how our ancestors did. Amazing stories, singing, food and interactive activities and seeing the dolphins and honu (turtles) swimming alongside our wa’a (waka/ boat) was magical! We were well looked after and thoroughly enjoyed the friendly and relaxed hospitality. Definitely recommend this to people who are looking for an authentic, educational and fun experience of Hawaii. Mahalo!

当日は天候も素晴らしく、私達夫婦だけが日本人でしたが、キャプテンをはじめスタッフ全員が親切で、ユーモラスで、優しい人たちで安心してツアーをエンジョイしました。
28歳のクルーの男性は過去に日本を訪れたことがありその時の様子を聞かせてくれたり、翌日がハロウンだったので女性スタッフの仮装も乗客の雰囲気を盛り上げてくれました。
乗客の数名とも、カタコト英語でしたが、ボート内で色々な会話も楽しめました。
ホヌとの出会いだけでなくイルカやモンクシールとも出会て本当に楽しい半日でした。
キャプテン以外は皆さん若いスタッフです。(キャプテンが一番の盛り上げ役でしたが)

Kayak was fun and the staff was very thorough with how to kayak and which place we can go. Its a bummer though that it was raining when we kayak but it was still a fun experience overall

This was a very enjoyable experience of the North shore. It was filled with fun activities, excellent food, and good shopping. Uncle Kevin was a perfect host and tour guide, and the trip would not have been the same without him. Very wonderful experience!

I went with my husband and 6 yrs old daughter. Our overall experience was good. The activity was awesome and the guy who was helping us on the boat was friendly.
Highly recommended!

Thanks all your help special the grime and the beige were late and you guys waited

It was perfect. Such friendly staff. So safe and so much fun. My 1 year old and 4 year old kiddos had such a blast. We have booked through Paradise Bay 2 years because we were staying there, and this time around was so much better. Live band with amazing voices. Just a great experience. Mahalo

We really enjoyed the kayak and snorkel trip from Makena Beach - there was also excellent support from our guide !!!!

Whatever I say will not do the experience any justice. Jesse and Jeremiah with the music and entertainment was sublime Lifeguards were nice and very helpful. activities were beyond my expectation. Clearly well put together

We had a blast! This was the first activity we did during our trip and it did not disappoint! They served donuts, played live music, and had plenty of activities to do. Our favorite experience was the snorkeling! The reefs were so healthy and we saw lots of fish! It's BYOB and there is a store to purchase drinks and snacks before you board. Everyone was super nice and we made friends along the way! Great way to start our trip!

Totally awesome experience and had a ton of fun on the water. Went for the banana boat and bumper ride upgrade. Great and friendly crew! Definitely good to be aware of the tide tho. Unfortunately none of the sandbar was above the water while we were there due to high tide. Was a great experience nonetheless!

This was an awesome first time experience for my wife and I. Brent and Jesse were great at having us engage with them in the activities and provided safety instructions to a tee that made it very clear and easy to understand and follow. Jesse provided us with some history along the way that made for fun facts. Brent did a great job at making me feel comfortable jumping off the cliff which was my very first time doing any type of cliff jumping and super glad I did! Snorkeling was super fun with clear and warm water. Would definitely do it again and highly recommend! Oh, and special shout out to the owner Mike for making the booking process swift and easy! Thank you guys!!

I took my daughter and her fiancé on this adventure for an early Christmas gift. The boat was clean, the crew friendly and fun, and the whole experience felt very safe.
The take-off and landing were so smooth and easy. The views from 1000 feet up were breathtaking!
The crew took lots of pictures that you could purchase for $40–they downloaded the photos to my phone and also gave me the SD card. Definitely worth it! We will do this again!

Snorkeling was a bit painful as I bumped my shin on the coral and scraped it, but kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding were fun. The staff were kind and friendly. The highlight was when I was paddleboarding and they said, "Look, there's a turtle!" and took me right over to see it. I was so moved to see a swimming turtle up close for the first time. Thank you, Hideo & Midori.

シュノーケリングはサンゴでちょっとスネをぶつけて､擦りむいて痛かったけど、カヤックやサップは面白かったです。スタッフの方が親切でフレンドリー。1番はサップをしていた時に亀がいるよ〜。と言ってすぐ近くまで一緒に行ってくれた事。初めて泳いでいる亀さんをすぐ近くで見ることが出来て感動しました。ありがとうございましたhideo&midori

Driver Tomo was incredibly friendly and shared a lot of local information with us. The staff at the Kailua shop were also very friendly. Since my youngest daughter is 9 years old, we couldn't rent bikes, but they kindly inflated a small float for her, allowing us to enjoy the beach all day. Bodyboarding was also fun! For lunch, the kids ordered pizza, and I ordered barbecue, both of which were very delicious! I definitely want to come back here next time.

ドライバーのTomoさんがめちゃくちゃフレンドリーでローカルの情報もいろいろ教えてくれました。
Kailuaショップのみなさんもとてもフレンドリーでした
下の娘が9歳のため、自転車をレンタルすることができませんでしたが、わざわざ小さい浮き輪を膨らませてくれて1日中ビーチで楽しめました
ボディーボードも楽しかったです！
ランチは子供たちがピザ、わたしはバーベキューをオーダーしましたがどちらもとてもおいしかったです！
また次回も是非こちらでお願いしたいです

We had the most amazing experience! The crew was wonderful. Made us feel like Ohana. Kept us safe and let us do our thang. We rode the banana boat and asked the captain to flip us! So much fun. We rode the bumper tube as well, SCARY at first but so much fun. Snorkeled with my 10yr and non swimming boyfriend lol We did great! The lunch sandwich they provided was much needed! We will come back to sandbar EVERY time we visit Oahu. Mahalo!

The sandbar snorkel cruise was a last minute decision and we're so glad we did it! We had a small group so we were able to snorkel out and see some turtles and coral reef! Such an amazing sight! The crew and musicians were very friendly and this added to the overall experience. Highly recommended!!

The ride to Sandbar is very smooth, no waves, no worries on emotion sickness. My 6yr old especially enjoyed the Banana Boat and Bumper Tube rides. Highly recommend. The staff was very nice. They even helped us babysit our 2yr old while the rest of family were on the boat and tube rides. :D

The Snorkel was OK. Not many fishes though. If you are planning your trip primarily for the snorkel, it is likely better to find a snorkel specific place.

This was our first time participating as a couple over sixty. On the boat, we enjoyed Hawaiian songs, and the staff were very kind, communicating with us in simple Japanese since we couldn't speak English. (It's okay if you can't speak English.) There were drinks and donuts that were soft and delicious. Our main goal was to try SUP! With the staff's explanations while we were in the water, we started SUP. At first, we were nervous, but we soon got used to it and were able to ride comfortably. We had a great time kayaking and snorkeling as well.

When it was time to return, everyone was excited and singing along on the boat, which was a lot of fun! Next time, I want to bring my grandchildren along.

Thank you for your hospitality!

還暦を過ぎた夫婦で初めての参加になります。船の中ではハワイアンソングを聴きながら和気あいあいでスタッフの方も英語が話せない私達に片言の日本語でとても親切に接してくれました。（英語ダメでもOK）飲み物やドーナツが有り柔らかくて美味しかったです。お目当てはSUPです！海の中に居るスタッフさんの説明でSUP開始です。恐々乗ってると時期に慣れて気持ち良く乗る事が出来ました。カヤックをやったりシュノーケリングをやったりと充実した時期を楽しく過ごせました。
時間になり帰りの船の中でも弾き語りで皆さん大盛り上がりでとても楽しかったです！
次回はお孫ちゃん達を連れて来たいと思います。
