5-in-1 Waikiki Fun Cruise with Snorkeling, Water Slide, Trampoline, Kayak & SUP - E Sea Diver

If your doing this for the snorkeling dont do it!!!

Reviewed by: Disappointed

I paid 93 for the snorkeling thinking it be something to remember.. but the only thing I’ll remember it the waist of money it was my whole family paid and it was a waist. Its a free for all you get trampled and just sucks in all honesty the people are nice and we meet some nice people on the boat but they sell you this amazing experience and its not, you cant see anything at all, if you want to paddle board or go down the slide even kayak this is the place for you but don't do it for the snorkeling it be a waist of money like it was for us … hope this helps another person not make the same mistake we did . Mahalo

5-in-1 Waikiki Fun Cruise with Snorkeling, Water Slide, Trampoline, Kayak & SUP - E Sea Diver

Turtle should not be in the title

Reviewed by: Alanna Owen

It says turtle in the title of what this excursion is. It says snorkeling in the title as well. All this was about was taking a bunch of water toys in the middle of the ocean and playing on them. While we were out there, I asked if we were going somewhere else to see the turtles and was told this is nature. Sometimes you see them , sometimes you won’t. Again, this was not about seeing sea turtles and the title needs to be changed. We paid $150 person to jump off side of boat, jump on trampoline, kayak/paddle board and TRY to snorkel in the middle of all this chaos. Tell it like it is and don’t be devious in the title. The crew was the only reason we have 3 stars and tipped on top of what we already paid. They were very nice. But this isn’t what it says it is. Don’t be fooled.

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

Could be better

Reviewed by: Remy

First time taking the Surf Bus. Driver was on time. He was knowledgeable. Didn't like his attitude at first because he had a way of making you feel foolish but at the end, he turned out to be a nice guide. My family and I did the waterfall hike and kayaking. The waterfall hike was timed for three hours. It was a beautiful hike through Waimea Valley seeing tropical plants and birds. To my surprise, the waterfall was smaller than I thought. There were too many people swimming already and it was only 10am. My kids did not want to swim because of the amount of people in the water. Even after the hike, and the waterfall and even ate lunch at the cafe, three hours was too much. It could've been spent doing other activities. We went kayaking in the afternoon. My family enjoyed that even though we didn't see any turtles. We were disappointed that we couldn't walk to town and get shaved ice because the line was too long. All in all, my family had a decent time.

5-in-1 Waikiki Fun Cruise with Snorkeling, Water Slide, Trampoline, Kayak & SUP - E Sea Diver

Not as Advertised

Reviewed by: Mike

We thought we were booking a turtle snorkel it turns out it was a water sports trip. The boat is in terrible condition. Needs maintenance. When we got to where we we’re going it was a free for all. No coordination. They immediately launched kayaks, paddle boards and a floating trampoline from the stern. At the same time they lowered a water slid from the bow. They made no effort to separate the snorkelers from the kayaks and paddle boards. We wanted to snorkel, but after getting hit in the head 4 times by kayaks and paddle boards we exited the water and waited to return to the harbor. We personally observed several snorkelers get landed upon by people using the water slide. When we went to leave they did not do a head count to make sure everyone was back on board. We have scuba dived and snorkeled from Morea, Guam, Bahamas and Cayman Islands, and we never experienced a trip where they combined water sports such as these with snorkelers. Very dangerous.

Reviewed by: Ulises

You have to get the deluxe package though. The slide is lots of fun. Jumping off the second story. Kayaking, paddle board.
Lots to do beside the snorkeling.
The snorkeling can be hit and miss depending on current and boat position. Make sure you ask the crew where the reef is located. Otherwise it will be hard to see any marine life.

My first experience with SUP was great; they taught me everything from scratch, and I was able to enjoy it even as a beginner. After the activity, I could rent a bike or snorkel and went all the way to Lanikai, which was very fulfilling. However, I was a bit disappointed that the bus gathering time was early; if it had been about an hour later, I could have enjoyed it more leisurely.

SUPは初めての経験でしたが、いちから丁寧に教えてくださり初心者でも十分楽しむことが出来ました。

I don't really recommend winter. The weather is bad, and it gets cold when it rains. Also, when it rains, it's not really suitable for exploring Kailua. Going without a guide is truly free, but I definitely recommend going with a guide for those who are inexperienced. My mother, who participated with me and is inexperienced, had to retire due to the bad weather. Everyone at the shops was kind and nice! I want to go again in the summer for a revenge trip.

冬はあまりおすすめしません。天気が悪く、雨が降ると寒いです。また、雨が降るとカイルア散策どころではありません。ガイドなしは本当にフリーなので、未経験者は絶対にガイド付きをおすすめします。一緒に参加した母は未経験、悪天候のためリタイアしました。ショップの方はみなさん優しくて良い方ばかりです!夏にもう一度行ってリベンジしたいです。

Guided SUP Experience Tour ガイド付きSUP体験ツアー

My husband and I had our first experience with SUP. The instructor, Mieko, provided thorough explanations, allowing us to feel at ease during the experience. Following her advice to jump sideways instead of forward when falling for safety, my husband jumped sideways quite well.

Although the weather had been bad until the day before, we were fortunate that the conditions were great on the day itself. While paddling and enjoying the natural scenery of the clear sea and distant mountains, we quickly arrived at the island offshore.

Thank you for taking photos as well. They became a wonderful keepsake. I would love to try it again if the opportunity arises!

主人と二人でSUP初体験でした。
インストラクターのミエコさんに丁寧に説明していただき、安心して体験できました。
落ちる時は安全のために前でなくて横にジャンプして!のアドバイス通り、主人はしっかり横ジャンプしてました。

My first time in Hawaii, my first time SUPing. The weather was bad and there was wind, so it turned into a river experience. It was cloudy, but it didn't rain, so that was good enough. The explanations were easy to understand, and I got to take a lot of photos, creating great memories. I also rented a bike, and although it was tough to get to my target pancake place and Lanikai Beach, I achieved my goal! If I could wish for anything, I would have liked one more hour of free time. Next time, I want to try it on a sunny summer day. Thank you, Emiko!

The day I participated was one of the few days of the year with strong winds and high waves. I was told that I could switch to sea kayaking, so I requested it without hesitation. Even so, participants with coaches were struggling in the ocean, so choosing river kayaking was definitely the right decision! Along the river, there were luxury villas lined up, allowing me to glimpse the lifestyle in Kailua.

ワイキキビーチ SUP 1時間プライベートレッスン <ロイヤルハワイアンホテル>

Is it surprisingly easy to get on and enjoy? 意外とすぐ乗れて楽しめる?

Reviewed by: さく太郎

My first experience with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). First, on the sandy beach, an instructor who had been an ALT (Assistant Language Teacher) in Japan gave a thorough lecture in fluent Japanese. Then we headed to the ocean. At first, I struggled to stand up because it was unstable, but once I could move freely in the direction I wanted, the fun doubled. Even a woman in her 50s was surprisingly able to get on and enjoy it quickly. It was also a strange experience to view the hotels in Waikiki from the sea. Initially, I had a reservation for 1:30 PM, but due to heavy rain, it was canceled on the day, and I rescheduled for 8:30 AM on another day. However, the sea was calm in the morning with fewer people, so I recommend the morning time (the staff mentioned this too). Waikiki Beach Services also has Japanese staff, which is reassuring. They keep your belongings in a shelf under the reception counter. As a side note, after that, when I rented a surfboard, I got a half-price repeat customer rate. The next day, I rented SUP equipment cheaply at Fort DeRussy Beach and had a great time. I realized how important it is to receive proper lessons from the instructor at the beginning. By the way, the reception for Waikiki Beach Services is at a counter within the pool area of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. It seems easy to find but can be a bit confusing, so just a heads up.

初めてのSUP体験。まず砂浜で、日本でALT(英語教師)をしていたインストラクターさんが流暢な日本語で丁寧にレクチャーしてくれます。いざ海へ。最初は不安定な状態から立つのがやっとでしたが、行きたい方向に自由に進むようになると楽しさ倍増、50代おばちゃんでも意外とすぐ乗れて楽しめました。ワイキキのホテル群を海から眺める不思議な体験でもありました。当初13:30の予約だったのが大雨で当日に現場でキャンセルになり、別日の8:30amに変更となりましたが、朝は海も穏やかで人も少なく、朝の時間帯がおすすめです(スタッフの方もそう言ってました)。ワイキキビーチサービスには日本人スタッフもいて安心です。荷物は受付カウンター下の棚で預かってくれます。余談ですがその後サーフボードを借りたらリピーター料金で半額になりました。翌日にはフォートデルッシービーチでSUP道具を安価で借りて満喫。最初にインストラクターさんからちゃんとレッスンを受けることは大事なんだと実感しました。なお、ワイキキビーチサービスの受付はロイヤルハワイアンホテルのプール敷地内のカウンターです。わかりやすそうでわかりにくいので参考まで。

During my 4-night, 6-day trip to Hawaii, I found myself with some extra time, so I made a last-minute reservation on-site. When I booked, I was instructed to print the voucher, but I didn't know how to print it in Hawaii. However, the staff at the reception were very helpful, so it turned out fine. I was also relieved to find that the receptionist spoke Japanese very well. They even took care of my valuables at the reception.

The SAP was quite challenging, but thanks to the enthusiastic instruction from Matt, the instructor, I was able to stand up successfully! Additionally, it was truly moving to see a sea turtle up close during the lesson.

I was a bit anxious since it was my first activity, but I had a great time. The fact that it only takes about an hour at Waikiki Beach makes it easy to participate, which is another great point. I definitely want to join again the next time I visit Hawaii.

SAPに関してはとても難しかったですが、インストラクターのマット先生が熱心に教えてくださったおかげで、無事立つことができました!
また、レッスン中すぐ近くで海ガメを見ることが出来たのも本当に感動でした。

初めてのアクティビティで不安もありましたが、本当に楽しかったです。
ワイキキビーチで1時間程で終わるため、気軽に参加出来る点もお勧めポイントです。
次回ハワイに行く時も是非参加したいです。

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

Better the first time

Reviewed by: Dassh

I had fun hiking to the waterfall and going swimming but the water was freeeezing!! I felt like the first time I did this activity we had a lot more time. I was able to snorkel, eat, stand up paddle and walk the town. This time I felt like going to the nut farm wasted a lot of time to do the activities. That part should be taken out and the time should go towards the actual activities. But all in all is was fun.

I had a fantastic first stand-up paddleboarding experience thanks to Emiko, the Japanese guide, with her energy, smile, and hospitality. I highly recommend it.

日本語ガイドのエミコさんのパワーと笑顔とホスピタリティに大満足な初SUPになりました。おススメします。

No complaints! 文句なしです!

Reviewed by: kak

It was my first time trying SUP, and they taught me very carefully! We started practicing on a calm river, and once I got used to it, we moved to the ocean, which was reassuring. On the day, the wind was very strong, and it was quite difficult to move forward, but I managed to reach the island. It's a nice memory that the instructor praised me as well.

Also, I left my phone in the locker, but the instructor took a lot of pictures, so it was fine! (Requests are also welcome.)

You can enjoy local food for meals. I felt like a true local boy! (laughs) In the afternoon, we cycled to Lanikai Beach and had a great time! It was such a fun experience that made me want to do SUP again in Japan!

SUPは初めてでしたが、とても丁寧に教えていただきました!
最初は穏やかな川から練習を始めて、慣れてきたら海に出るので安心です。
当日とても風が強く、なかなか前に進まない状況でしたが、何とか島に着くことができました。インストラクターの方に褒めていただいたのもいい思い出です。
また、携帯はロッカーに置いていきますが、インストラクターの方がたくさん撮ってくださるので、大丈夫です!
(リクエストも可)
ご飯はローカルフードが食べられます。
気分はすっかりロコボーイです笑
午後からはラニカイビーチまでサイクリングして、しっかり遊びました!
日本でもまたSUPやりたいねと思うような、楽しい体験でした!

The explanations were easy to understand, and I had a great time. The lunch pizza was delicious, and I was able to rent a bicycle for shopping. I also took out the pancakes from Boots and Kimo's, and I was very satisfied.
