Oahu
Absolutely loved this! I would do it again!!!!!!!!!
Ricki was very patient and helpful in making our (my wife & my) first time snorkeling experience so good. My wife didn't know swimming but Ricki's tips helped put her at ease and she enjoyed it as well. Due to the small group nature of the tour, fortunately there was only 2 of us and we had lots of fun. Saw lots of fishes and reef. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for beginner lessons.

We had an amazing time doing this excursion! The guys were so nice and made it extra fun! Only downfall was we went to purchase photos and the lady at the front desk said that we didn't have any on the sd cards. All n all a great experience! Would definitely recommend it!
We had an amazing time. So much fun! Would highly recommend. Wonderful way to get a from the ocean view of Oahu!
It was our first time to parasail. We absolutely loved it! We never felt scared or unsafe. It was very exciting and fun. We went in a triple tandem and loved every minute of it. We wanted to schedule another outing but due to the holidays we couldn't fit it it. I highly recommend Hawaiian Parasail!!
In the morning, we were picked up at our hotel and taken by van to pick up other customers for the day. The driver and instructor was a Japanese-Brazilian man who had lived in Japan, so it was nice to chat with him during the ride. There were three of us participating, and one person was able to switch from kayaking to stand-up paddleboarding, which was helpful. Once we got out to sea, the guidance and advice about the current points and areas to be cautious of were accurate, allowing us to feel safe while riding. Carrying the boards and kayaks by ourselves was quite hard, but overall, we had a great time. For lunch, we could choose from the shop within the facility. Last time we had pizza, and this time we had a plate lunch. There was also a shop for marine goods, and during our free time, we could go shopping in Kailua.
朝は滞在のホテルまでピックUPしてもらえ、バンで次々とその日のお客様をピックアップです。
ドライバー兼インストラクターの男性は日本での生活歴のある日系の方でしたので道中も話しながら向かうことが出来たので良かったです。
三人で参加したのですが、一人カヤックからSUPにしていただけたので助かりました。
海に出てからも流れのポイントや注意する場所では声がけとアドバイスも的確で安心して乗れました。
自分でボードやカヤックを運ぶのは結構ハードでしたが、ひっくるめて楽しく過ごせました。
ランチも施設内のショップで選ぶことが出来ます。
前回はピザ、今回はプレートランチ、マリングッズのショップもあり、フリータイムにはカイルアにショッピングも可能です。
Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to go sandbar . It's easy access and best way to kayak to sandbar !
Aloha! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayaking adventure! And thank you for taking the time to post such an awesome review and pictures. That is awesome and we really appreciate it! Look forward to seeing you again soon! Mahalo!
Our family had a wonderful time parasailing with these super friendly fun folks!
Great experience. It is worth the price. I've never been the ocean that far away from shore.
Awesome trip. Great crew. This is well worth the time and money. No better way to see Waikiki and Diamondhead. Oahu resident, extremely impressed!
Had a wonderful time w uncle Kevin!! He showed us a lot of places and haves the background story! Very knowledgeable and happy to share his experience and love for his Hawaiian culture.
very friendly people, good customer service, best water experience
Chelsea, Nick and Taylor were so gracious and patient with all of us. Oldest 62 and youngest 5.
Mahalo for the kind review, Pattie!! We hope you all have a very happy new year! Lots of aloha from the OSP crew!
Amazing time. Everything was explained right!! Would definitely recommend
What an amazing experience. The kayaks are great. They are sit-on-top kayaks which makes them much easier to get back on should you capsize or after you get out at the sandbar. The team shows you everything you need to know about the Kayak, how to get out to the sandbar and how to find your way back.
A short 30-45 min paddle out to the sandbar and you are in heaven. Get out in calm, waist deep, crystal clear, warm ocean water and look all around at the beauty and peacefulness nature provides. This was probably the most relaxed I was during the entire vacation. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone.
Aloha Ed! What an amazing review! Thank you so much for coming to see us for a Kane'ohe Bay kayaking adventure. I am so glad to hear it sounds like you had a great experience. And I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to leave such wonderful, positive feedback. That really means a lot to us and we really appreciate it. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
This tour was an absolute blast. Luckily, my girlfriend and I came to Hawaii the week after the state opened up following the Covid-19 restrictions, so there weren't many people on the island. Likewise, the tour only ended up being the two of us. Our tour guide (and owner of the tour company), Steve, was amazing. He led us through the waters and taught us both how to kayak. He even went out of his way and taught us how to paddleboard too! Also, he was very knowledgeable about Hawaii and the surrounding waters. Steve provided us with a lot of advice on what we should do/stay/eat during our stay. And to make it even better, we saw plenty of sea turtles and coral beneath our glass bottom kayak! On top of all this, Steve stayed with us a little while longer on the water to answer our questions and to talk more about Hawaii. All in all, the tour went above and beyond our expectations. The next time we go back to Hawaii, we will definitely book another tour with this company!
I have to admit that this being my first time snorkeling, I had never been so scared and nervous in my WHOLE life!!
Zola, our instructor, was extremely patient and caring throughout the entire experience. Even through I had to concentrate extremely hard with breathing and using my flippers, I was SO proud of myself and I couldn't have done it without him.
Ask for Zola for the snorkeling tour, you wont' be sorry. You will be in terrific hands!
It was our first scuba dive experience and we could not have had a better time!
All thanks to our instructor, Zola, he was super helpful from diving safety to the techniques and made us enjoy every second of the dive.
We want to point out and send a special thanks to Zola on how patient he was. He made sure I was comfortable in the water, since I was a bit scared at first, still getting used to the equipment and picking up the new breathing pattern.
We'll definitely do it again!
Beautiful views of Kaneohe park and sandbar, friendly service, a hidden gem on Oahu.
Aloha Kai,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a positive review! That really means a lot to us and is great to hear. Looking forward to seeing you again soon! Mahalo nui loa!
My wife and I loved the experience. The crew was fun and friendly, making you feel safe and comfortable from the moment you meet.
It was the last day of our graduation trip, and I was completely exhausted, but the refreshing experience made it all worth it. After being taken by boat to the boarding area on the water, we had to wait about 30 minutes, which felt a bit long, but the friendly staff chatted with us in English, helping to pass the time. We went as a group of six, and we were told we could jump in, so some of us did just that and had fun splashing around—though I think we probably weren't supposed to!
At first, I struggled to operate the jet ski, but I gradually got the hang of it and by the end, I was zooming around at full throttle on the water. The riding time was 30 minutes, but after 15 minutes, we returned to the boarding area and then went back out for another 15 minutes. I believe this was to turn on the camera attached to the boat and to allow for a switch if you were riding in pairs.
Also, if you don't bring your own goggles, you'll need to rent them for $10, so be careful about that. If you're debating between riding solo or in pairs, I definitely recommend going solo. A friend who rode in pairs mentioned that it was quite difficult to maneuver. Plus, since the riding time is short at just 30 minutes, riding solo makes it easier to control and ensures you can enjoy it longer than if you were in pairs. In Japan, you need a license for jet skiing, so make sure to enjoy this experience in Hawaii!
卒業旅行の最終日ということもあり疲労困憊でしたが、そんなものもぶっ飛ぶ爽快感でした。ボートで海上の乗り場まで連れていってもらったあとの待ち時間は30分ほどと長めでしたがスタッフの人がフレンドリーに話しかけてきてくれたり(英語)と暇を潰せました。6人組で行きましたが飛び込んでいいよと言われたので飛び込んで遊んでるやつもいました笑多分やっちゃダメですが。ジェットスキーは最初は操作が思うように行きませんでしたが徐々に慣れていき最後はフルスロットルで水上を走り回っていました。乗る時間は30分ですが15分たったら一旦乗り場に戻ってまた15分間乗るという感じでした。おそらくボートにつけているカメラのスイッチをONにするのと2人乗りであればそこで交代するための行程だと思います。あと、ゴーグルは持っていってないと10ドルでレンタルすることになるので注意が必要です。それに1人乗りか2人乗りで悩んでいるなら断然1人乗りをおすすめします。なぜなら2人乗りでジェットスキーをしていた友達が言うにはかなり操縦が難しいと言っていたからです。それに30分と短い時間なので1人乗りのほうが操縦がしやすく2人乗りよりも長く楽しめること間違いないです。ジェットスキーは日本では免許がいるのでこのハワイで是非とも楽しんでください。
ありがとう!またすぐにお会いしましょう!
Mahalo! See you again soon!
The staff were so cheerful and wonderful, and the view after parasailing was just amazing! I really shouldn't have been scared! It was too beautiful. I also found something wonderful!
I forgot the name of the staff member, but the charming guy took so many photos for me, so it became a really great memory! It might have been tourist prices, but it was such a fun experience that I bought an SD card!
I really recommend parasailing.
スタッフさん陽気すぎて素敵だし、
パラセイルで上がったあとの景色!ほんと怖がってる場合じゃない!!!!素敵すぎて。にも見つけられました!すてきすぎ!!
あとスタッフのお名前忘れちゃったけど
プレイボーイな彼がめっちゃ写真とってくれたからとてもいい思い出になりました!
観光地価格かもだけど楽しい思い出なのでSDカード買いましたよ!
ほんとにパラセイルおすすめです。
We participated as a family of four. My husband, who has a fear of heights, watched and took photos from the boat, while I flew with our 5-year-old and 9-year-old children. It was my first experience as well, but the kids were constantly excited. It was a bit cold up in the air, but there was a rainbow, and the scenery was amazing. The staff on the boat were also very entertaining. Even the next day and the day after that, and after we returned home, the kids keep saying they want to do it again!
家族4人で参加させて頂きました。
高所恐怖症の主人はボートで見学&写真撮影、5歳と9歳の子供と私の3人で飛びました。私も初体験でしたが、子供たちはずーっと興奮しっぱなしでした。上空は少し寒かったですが、丁度虹もかかっていたり景色も最高でした。ボートにのってくれたスタッフの方もとても面白かったです^ ^
次の日もその次の日も、そして帰ってきてからも子供たちは、またやりたーい!と言っています。
Although I had experience in Japan, parasailing in Hawaii was the best. The view of Diamond Head from above was exceptional. Communicating with the young couple I shared the ride with was an added bonus and was fun as well.
日本で経験はあったものの、ハワイでのパラセーリングは最高でした。特に上空からのダイヤモンドヘッドは格別でした。
同乗した若いカップルとのコミュニケーションも、おまけで楽しかったです。
We went with a group of ten, and the staff were very friendly and engaging, which made for a great atmosphere. It was a fun time that flew by in no time.
10人で行ったのですが、スタッフ皆さん気さくに話してくださり、とても盛り上がりました。あっという間の楽しい時間でした。
It was my first experience, and it was very interesting. I have a slight fear of heights, but since it was a special trip to Hawaii, I mustered up the courage to give it a try, and I'm glad I did. I decided to challenge myself to 150 meters, and surprisingly, it wasn't as scary as I thought; rather, I was able to enjoy the view from a height that I usually can't see. However, while waiting for other guests, the boat rocked more than I expected, and I felt quite seasick. Normally, I don't get that nauseous in cars or buses, but even for me, it was pretty tough towards the end. I didn't actually throw up, but it was quite challenging. I think motion sickness medication is essential. In any case, I had a great experience this time. There was a Japanese newlywed couple among the other guests, so we asked each other to take photos and videos, and we didn't purchase the paid photos.
初めての経験でしたがとても面白かったです。
若干高所恐怖症なのですがせっかくのハワイ旅行だしと思って勇気を出して挑戦してみて良かったです。
せっかくの機会と思い150mに挑戦しましたが意外と怖さはなく、むしろ普段見ることのできない高いところからの景色を堪能することができました。
ただ、他の客がやっているのを待っている時の船が予想以上に揺れて船酔いがきつかったです。
普段車やバスではそこまで酔うことはないのですがそんな私でも最後の方かなりきつくて、吐くまではいきませんでしたが相当しんどかったです。
酔い止めは必須なのではないかと思います。
いずれにせよ今回は良い経験をさせて頂くことができました。
他のお客さんで日本人の新婚旅行夫婦がいたのでお互いに写真や動画の撮影をお願いして、有料の写真は購入しませんでした。
I think there are several Japanese staff members, so those who don't understand English can participate with peace of mind. Both the Japanese and American staff were very friendly. There is also a shop, so it was great to be able to buy necessary items and souvenirs. I had a lot of fun. This is my best memory from this trip to Hawaii. I definitely want to participate again!
日本人のスタッフの方も何人かいらっしゃるので英語が分からない人も安心して参加することができると思います。日本人のスタッフの方もアメリカ人のスタッフの方もとてもフレンドリーでした。ショップもあるので必要な物やお土産も買えて良かったです。とても楽しかったです。今回のハワイ旅行のなかで一番の思い出です。また是非参加したいです!

We set sail with a total of four people, including two pairs and two European travelers.
During the first hour, we went near Diamond Head and watched as the two crew members caught about ten small fish for trolling.
When it came time for trolling, we went on an eight-hour cruise and managed to catch two fish: a mahi-mahi and a tuna. However, we drew numbers from 1 to 4 with a deck of cards to determine the order of fishing, and since we drew numbers 3 and 4, we didn't get our turn to reel in the fish. It seems that there are days when no fish are caught at all, so if the chances of catching fish are low given the number of people on board, I think it would be fairer to have a team competition or to take turns sharing one fish among the four of us.
We accepted our bad luck, but the European travelers who were reeling in the mahi-mahi and tuna for about ten minutes seemed to be having a great time, and I believe it was worth just over 20,000 yen. Unfortunately, we ended up with a high cruising fee without getting to hold a fishing rod.
私たちペアのほかに2名ヨーロッパ旅行者が2名の合計で4名で出港しました。
最初の一時間はダイヤモンドヘッド近くまで行き、船員2名でトローリング用のあじ?小魚を10匹ほど釣ったのを見てました。
いざトローリング、8時間のクルージングでマヒマヒとマグロの計2匹が釣れましたが最初にトランプで1~4の番号をひき、竿をひく順番を決め、我々は3・4番をひいたので魚の竿をまく順番が回ってきませんでした。一日に全く釣れないこともあるようなので、乗船人数分魚が釣れる可能性が少ないのであればせめてペアのチーム戦にするとか1匹を4人で交代するとか参加者に平等性が欲しいと思いました。運がなかったと諦めましたが、マヒマヒとマグロを約10分かけて引き揚げていたヨーロッパ旅行者は楽しそうで2万ちょっとの価値もあったと思いますが、竿を握れなかった私たちは高いクルージング代で終わりました。
Hi I love this amazing trip we had a group off 14 most kid’s under 12. They had a amazing day James was super helpful with all our kids.
