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

Guide

Reviewed by: Kristen Olthuis

My husband and I were disappointed with the tour guide. We felt he had a attitude about him and really didn't want to be there. At times we thought he was being rude in his manor and attitude. We went on another tour and the guide was so different and really acted like he wanted to be there. It made a big difference on the tour and made it much more enjoyable. The tour itself was great, but it could of been a lot nicer if the guide was more interested in the people on his bus and what he was doing.

パラセーリング　5歳～参加OK！高さ150m／130m／110mの3種類　人気のカカアコまで徒歩圏内！ツアー後にショッピングや食事も楽しめる＜ケワロ湾＞

A refreshing breeze that is hard to experience elsewhere!! But be careful when purchasing photos! 中々体験できない気持のよい風！！だけど写真購入は注意！

Reviewed by: hiro

The boat rocked, but since I took motion sickness medication beforehand, it was actually enjoyable. The staff was cheerful and fun, and before I knew it, we were flying—laughs.

I think the flight lasted about 10-15 minutes, but during that time, I was just filled with excitement. Everything else became unimportant—laughs.

There was only one other group besides me, so we didn't spend too long on the boat, but I think the more groups there are, the longer you'll be on the boat, so that's a matter of luck.

Also, I bought photos at the end, but when I looked at them after returning to Japan, there were about 30 pictures of someone completely different, which was disappointing. Even though it was on a CD-R, I should have checked during my stay.

For those who will experience this in the future, don't forget to check the photos!

船は揺れましたが、事前に酔い止めを飲んだのでむしろ楽しめる程度の揺れでした。
スタッフも陽気で楽しかったし、何より飛ぶまでの手際が良く気づいたら飛んでました笑

飛ぶ時間は10-15分程度だったと思いますが、飛んでいる間はただただ興奮しっぱなし。
全てがどうでもよくなります笑

私の他に1組だけだったのでそれほど長くは船の上にいませんでしたが、組数が多くなるほど船上での時間がおおくなるのでそこは運かなと思いました。

あと、最後に写真を購入したのですが日本に帰ってから見たら全く別人の写真が30枚ほど入っていてガッカリ。
CD-Rだったとはいえ、滞在中に確認しとくべきでした。

これから体験する方は、写真の確認も忘れずに！！

i went on the tour with my 2 and 4 year old kids and my mother, my sister, and aunt. I was little worried because our group age was ranging from 2-65 year old. But we all had a wonderful time and this became one of the best memories we have.
The tour was well organized and the boat is new and clean and lunch was pretty good. It could be little cold depending on the weather, but overall it was a great tour! I will definitely recommend it to my friends!

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「パラダイス・コーブ 」開放的なオーシャンフロントで本場の雰囲気を味わえるショーやサンセット鑑賞＜現地集合可／コオリナ・リゾート内＞

I attended my mother's 70th birthday celebration. 母の古希のお祝いに参加しました。

Reviewed by: やっちゃん

We celebrated my mother's 70th birthday (a traditional milestone in Japan) with a total of 13 family members. We chose the standard course, but considering the seating and the food, I wish we had opted for the deluxe course since it was a special occasion. The activities, shows, and location were all wonderful, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. As mentioned in other reviews, everything was in English and catered to Westerners, but it was nice to experience a foreign atmosphere that you don't find in the Japanese-speaking Waikiki, which added to the fun.

However, the air conditioning on the shuttle bus was very strong, and it was freezing cold. I think it's especially advisable for women to bring a thicker outer layer like a hoodie.

母の70歳（古希）のお祝いに、身内親族総勢13人で参加しました。スタンダードコースにしましたが、席やお料理のことを考えると、お祝いごとなので、デラックスコースにしておけばよかったと思いました。アクティビティー、ショーやロケーション、どれも素晴らしく、満喫できました。皆さんの口コミにあったように、全て英語で欧米人向きでしたが、日本語だらけのワイキキにはない外国に来た雰囲気を実感できて、それも楽しいものでした。
ただ、行き帰りの送迎バスの冷房が強く、凍える寒さでした。女性は特に、パーカーなど厚手のはおりものがあったほうがいいと思います。

Luxury Ko Olina Sunset Cruise with Snorkeling, Dinner Buffet & Premium Cocktails - Ocean Joy Cruises

A must do!

Reviewed by: Sang Park

We came here on our honeymoon and we had an awesome experience with Ocean Joy Cruises. We scheduled for the shuttle service and the bus was right on time to pick us up from our hotel. There was a little traffic to Ko-Olina but wasn't too bad. The bus driver kindly guided us through the entire ride and it was comfortable. The cruise staff were friendly and generous. They provided everyone with ginger pills to avoid motion sickness. Snorkeling was great too. Too bad that we didn't get to see the turtles but it was fun! The food wasn't fancy or anything but it was delicious and that first sip of an icy cold beer after snorkeling was heavenly. While we were having dinner, we got to see the group of dolphins swimming right next to our cruise which was phenomenal. The sunset, of course, it was breathtaking moment. My husband and I really enjoyed the cruise and we will definitely come back with our family in the future.

Luxury Ko Olina Sunset Cruise with Snorkeling, Dinner Buffet & Premium Cocktails - Ocean Joy Cruises

trust me to try this experience

Reviewed by: han lee

first of all, people working on the boat was awesome, they were very very friendly, especially guy name mason was funny and very active and he was there every moment when we needed him
the boat was not too big and luckily we only had less than twenty people so a lot of room normally around forty people on the board. I suggest to take a pill before you go on because it really help you not to through up.
snorkeling was fun experience and they teach you everything you need to know and fun part was when you go into the water they feed the fish so the fish can come to you I'm talking about a lot of fish and it was so amazing and beautiful when can I get to see that many of fish.
after snorkeling it's cold right but this boat has warm water so you can take salt water out in warm water, that was pretty good idea for help from cold and windy weather.
the boat had every drink you could think of like from hot coffee to cold soda to alcohol beverage and people working on the boat took turn to be a bartender and they actually make good tasty drinks but just let you know that alcohol is only served after snorkeling.
I gotta talk and tell you about the food. it's most delicious Hawaiian pork bbq burger and charcoal grilled chicken was so so good and fresh Hawaiian fruits was one of my favorite
during the diner time captain called out to come out and we went out and guess what?!! dolphins were swimming by, not just one couple of Dolphins
it was my first time watching Dolphins swimming around and that was amazing time.
captain was very generous he didn't want us to miss every moment so he was keep looking out and around the ocean if anything it might be interesting for us.
overall this was the best experience for us and I truly and definitely recommend to try, love to go on the board and meet them again.

3-Hour Ko Olina Snorkel Cruise & Dolphin Watching Tour with Deli Lunch & Drinks

Nice afternoon out on the catamaran

Reviewed by: Mary Butler

We took the afternoon dolphin watch cruise that set sail at 1pm. Saw some sea turtles and a dolphin pod from afar. The snorkelling was nothing great...lots of reef fishes and mostly dead coral. Being prone to motion sickness, I was elated at how wonderfully stable the catamaran was, and for once I actually enjoyed sailing instead of spending half my time being sick over the rails. In spite of my disappointment at not seeing dolphins up close, the afternoon turned out to be a really pleasant cruise along the beautiful Ko Olina coastline. The staff were attentive and friendly. My 3 year son threw a fit when I got him out of the choppy waters during the snorkelling session. Kudos to the staff who successfully quietened him down by giving him bread to feed the fishes from the back of the ship. Food was great. Pulled pork sandwiches, chips and fruit salad were delicious. All in all, a lovely afternoon.

ウェット アンド ワイルド ハワイ　絶叫ウォータースライダーなど25種類以上のアトラクションが揃うウォーターパーク　ランチやドリンク付きパッケージプランあり

The activities were good, but... アクティビティはよかったけど

Reviewed by: maju

I made a reservation for my daughter who loves slides. Since we had kids with us, we opted for the all-inclusive course (which included transportation, lunch, and drinks). There were plenty of pools and slides for children, and there were many lifeguards, which made it safe to use. My daughter was thrilled and played to her heart's content until closing time.

However, the agency's service was terrible. They didn't come at the scheduled pickup time, and we had to call them to find out that a taxi would be coming. This resulted in a one-hour delay. There was no communication about the return pickup time or where lunch would be served, making the high cost feel wasted. Since we were staying in Ko Olina, I regretted not just taking a taxi myself and eating at one of the places inside, which would have been sufficient. I realize now that it was my fault for expecting service on par with Japan. It was quite unpleasant.

That said, WET & WILD itself is a lot of fun and I recommend it. I plan to go again next year.

スライダー好きな娘のために予約。子連れなので、オールインクルーシブ（送迎、ランチ、ドリンク付き）コースにしました。子供用のプールやスライダーがたくさんあり、監視員も多く安心して利用できた点はいってよかったです。娘も大喜びで、閉園ギリギリまでめいいっぱい遊んでました。
ただ、代理店の対応は最悪で、送迎の時間になっても来ず、こちらから電話してタクシーがくる次第。これで1時間のロス。帰りの送迎はどこに何時か、ランチはどこで何時かなど、何の連絡もなく高いお金を払ったのが無駄になりました。コオリナに宿泊していたので、こんなんなら自分でタクシーで行き、ランチも中に食べるところがあったからそれで十分だったと後悔。日本並みのサービスを求めた自分が悪かったと思うことにします。かなり不愉快でした。
ただWET & WILD自体はとても楽しいところでオススメです。来年もまた行く予定です。

Reviewed by: 個人旅行LOVE

I had gone parasailing in Saipan several times, but this was my first time in Hawaii. In Hawaii, you can choose the height, fly with multiple people (in Saipan, it's about 45 meters for one person), request photos, and even get a nice splash in the ocean at the end—it was truly amazing! I considered other companies, but I made the right choice by opting for the one that offered photos (since my digital camera takes grainy and blurry shots, I left it to the professionals with a DSLR★), the location was very convenient (right in front of the Hilton★), and the captain's skills were excellent (you can choose to get your feet, half-body, or full-body splashed). I highly recommend it!!! By the way, after much deliberation about the height, I ultimately chose 90 meters★ (I thought it would be disappointing if the photos were too far away, and even considering the $30 for photos and tips, it was within a reasonable price range). Also, I never get motion sickness, but whenever I get on a small boat, I always take motion sickness medication, no matter how short the trip is (based on my diving experience).

パラセイルはサイパンでも何度かやっていましたが、ハワイは今回初めてでした。　ハワイはなんといっても、高さが選べて×複数で飛行でき（サイパンは45ｍくらい×１人乗り）、写真も頼め、最後に海にポチャっとつけてもらえるなど、至れり尽くせりで感動しました！　他社とも迷いましたが、写真を頼めて（デジカメは豆粒＆ブレるので一眼レフにお任せして正解★）、場所がとても近くて（ヒルトンの目の前の海★）、キャプテンの腕も絶妙（足ポチャ・半身ポチャ・全身ポチャ選べます）、とてもオススメです！！！　ちなみに私は高さを迷いに迷った挙げ句、結局90メートルにしました★（写真が遠すぎたら残念な気がした＆写真の30ドルとチップを見越しても手の届く金額なので）　あと、私はのりもの酔いは全くしませんが、小さな船に乗るときは、どんなに短時間でも必ず酔い止めを飲んでいます（ダイビングでの経験上）

I experienced parasailing at a height of 90 meters! The wind was very strong that day, and it was thrilling enough to make me think I might fall, but it was so much fun! However, my partner is afraid of heights, so they were really scared! Even I, who usually isn't that bothered, was quite nervous at 90 meters! I thought the staff would only speak English, but they occasionally spoke Japanese too (including some Japanese jokes, haha). They were very friendly, and I was really satisfied! They also offered tips and photo sales, so it might be a good idea to bring some money! (By the way, I came empty-handed that day.) After the rain, there seemed to be a rainbow behind us, and I hesitated to buy a photo, but I decided against it because of the backlight (laughs). There might be opportunities to capture photos with rainbows, so I definitely recommend it! I requested a shuttle, but there is a boat right near the Hilton Hawaiian Village, so if you're staying nearby, you can easily walk back.

Makani Catamaran Day Sail on Oahu - Waikiki & Diamond Head Cruise with Full Bar and Transportation

Simple and Enjoyable

Reviewed by: Ruth

I had a great time on this trip. We were running a bit late due to a road being closed,but that didn't seem to be an issue. I liked that they called to confirm that we were still coming. The crew was great and pretty much left us to just enjoy the ride after they went through safety and other useful instructions.

We went out a decent ways but not too far out to hit the really rough waters (granted I like big waves so I would have been fine with the rougher waters). If there was any interesting wild life, they pointed it out so everyone could see.There's a drink bar. I didn't really use this for anything beyond soda. I did buy one of their cups and still think it was worth it. It's a useful cup. As for space on the boat, there was never an issue with not having enough room to look out over the railing.

Things my husband and I enjoyed about the trip:
> The view - it was quite beautiful
> The fact that it was simple - we really didn't want to do a dinner cruise or be out on a giant boat. All we wanted was to get out on the water and enjoy the view and this was absolutely perfect for that.
> Meeting new people - we had several good conversations with the people on the boat. I rather enjoyed this and it made the trip that much better.
> Sitting on the netting - it was really neat to watch the water through the netting (also comfortable to sit on)

Over all it was a very excellent experience and was exactly what we wanted. I would have been happy spending all day out on the boat. If I ever end back up in the area, I would use them again.

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー　貸切プランあり＜半日＞

It was the best snorkeling experience. 最高のシュノーケリングでした

Reviewed by: ふみさん

I had only done snorkeling in Okinawa before. The sea in Okinawa was beautiful, but Hanauma Bay was incomparably more stunning.

On the day of the tour, a cheerful guide came to pick us up at the meeting point. The guide spoke Japanese very well and chatted with us casually during the drive. Thanks to that, we arrived at Hanauma Bay in no time. We received a briefing on sea etiquette and swimming techniques while putting on our fins and life jackets, and then we were off to the ocean! Perhaps due to the prior briefing, we were able to move around freely! When we moved to a slightly deeper area, a school of fish appeared right in front of us! I had never seen such a school of fish before!! After that, we were informed by the guide's friend about where to find sea turtles, and we set off to search for them. We successfully spotted a sea turtle. Although we shouldn't touch them, the turtle approached us closely, perhaps because it was used to people. It was so close that I was worried we might accidentally touch it.

After thoroughly enjoying Hanauma Bay, we were given well-chilled water and Hawaiian snacks on our way back. I was very grateful for that consideration, as swimming took more energy than I expected.

Next time I go to Hawaii, I would like to request the same guide again.

これまでに沖縄でしかシュノーケリングをしたことがありませんでした．沖縄の海もきれいでしたが，ハナウマ湾は沖縄とは比べ物にならないくらいきれいでした．

　当日はピックアップ場所に陽気なガイドさんが迎えに来てくれました．ガイドさんは日本語がとても上手で，移動の車内でも気さくに話しかけてくれます．おかげであっという間にハナウマ湾に到着．
　足ヒレ，ライフジャケットの装着時に海でのマナー，泳ぎ方のレクチャーを受け，いざ海へ！事前レクチャーのおかげか移動も自由自在に！水深が少し深いところへ移動すると，魚の群れが目の前に！あんな魚群は初めて見ました！！その後はガイドさんの友人からウミガメがいる場所を教えてもらい，ウミガメ捜索へ．無事にウミガメを発見できました．ウミガメは触ってはいけないのですが，ヒトに慣れているせいかウミガメからグイグイ近づいてきます．触ってしまうのではないかハラハラするくらい至近距離でした．
　ひとしきりハナウマ湾を満喫し，帰り際にはよく冷えた水とハワイのお菓子をいただきました．水の中は思ったより体力をつかうので，その気遣いがとてもうれしかったです．

次回ハワイに行くときはまた同じ方にガイドをお願いしたいと思います．
