All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I participated in the 150m.
The view from above was beautiful, and it became a great memory.
I didn't feel as much fear as I expected.
If you are prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking anti-nausea medication before participating.

150mに参加しました。
上からの景色は奇麗で、良い思い出になりました。
思ったほど、恐怖感はありませんでした。
酔いやすい方は、酔い止めを飲んでからの参加をお勧めします。

We floated up, smiling without a care, with the hotels of Waikiki, the blue sky, and the blue sea in front of us. It was the best. It might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication while waiting to get to the point.

ふわりと上がって、恐怖心もなく二人でニコニコ顔、目の前にはワイキキのホテルと青い空と青い海、最高でした。
ポイントまで行くのと順番を待つまで、酔い止め飲んだ方がいいかも。

Fabulous experience - I would highly recommend this to everyone. Well organised, helpful staff, who went out of their way to make it an amazing experience for all. Plenty of time to snorkel when it wasn't your turn to ride on the underwater scooter. We saw turtles and lots of different types of fish. The photographer took great photos and a video, which you can pay to download later if you want to. A perfect day and I loved every minute of it.
One tip - take a sweatshirt. The weather wasn't great the day we went. Whilst the sea was warm, we were provided with wet suit tops so we were fine during the activity but we were a bit cold when we got out of the water, during the pack up and the boat ride back to shore.

The instructor taught us politely in Japanese, and the conversation was interesting, making it very enjoyable. It was easier to stand and ride than I had expected. My mother, who is in her 60s, also had a great time, and if there is another opportunity, I would like to do it again.

インストラクターが日本語で丁寧に教えてくれたうえに、話も面白くとても楽しかったです。
思っていたよりも簡単に立って乗る事も出来ました。60代の母も充分楽しむ事ができ、もし次回の機会があるならば、もう一度お願いしたいです。

I have a fear of heights, but I participated because my wife wanted to. We put on safety gear and set off. I was anxious because there was no backrest and the ropes creaked while flying, but the view of the Hawaiian sea was very pleasant. Watching the sunset was the best part. If you hand over your camera, they will take pictures for you. I wonder if it costs $30 for professional photos? I wore a GoPro on my head and it was fine. Also, they do ask for tips, so don't forget that.

The staff who picked us up and dropped us off were very kind, and we enjoyed eating at the restaurant they recommended and shopping, so it might be a good idea to go on the first day. They gave us gummies, snacks, and juice, which helped us with souvenir selection!

高所恐怖症なのですが、妻がやりたいとのことで参加しました。
安全用具を付けていざ出発。
背もたれがなかったり、飛んでるときにロープがぎしぎし言っているのが不安でしたが、
ハワイの海を一望できてとても気持ちよかったです。
夕焼けを見れたのは最高でした。
カメラを渡すと、撮ってくれます。
本格的に写真をお願いすると３０ドルかかるのかな？
ゴープロを頭に着けて撮影したのですが、大丈夫でした。
あとチップを要求されるので、お忘れなく。

送り迎えをしてくださったスタッフの方がとても親切で、
教えてくれたお店でごはんを食べたりショッピングを楽しめましたので、
初日に行くのがおすすめかも？
グミやおかし、ジュースをくれて、おみやげ選びにも参考になりました！

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.

4泊6日のハワイ旅行で、時間が余りそうだったので急遽現地で予約しました。
予約の際バウチャーを印刷してくださいとの案内が出ましたが、ハワイで印刷する方法もわからず当日を迎えましたが、受付の方が対応してくださったので大丈夫でした。
また受付の女性の方が日本語がお上手で安心しました。貴重品も受付で預かって下さいました。

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。

I found a slightly cheaper plan, so I thought, why not go for the highest one! I splurged and signed up. The speed of the boat to the destination was fast, and the height exceeded my expectations! From below or above, you can hardly see anyone's face! The moment of floating in the sky while feeling the Hawaiian breeze was the best! When descending, they check whether you want to get wet or not, so those who prefer to stay dry can participate with peace of mind.

We participated as a pair, but there was someone who joined alone, so we shared the ride. I was a bit surprised that such things happen. Also, the staff will take photos of you during the parasailing for $30, but honestly, the quality was quite disappointing. It felt like they were just shooting rapidly without a zoom lens, so you can barely see that you're floating up there, and of course, you can't see any expressions. You wouldn't even notice if a different person was in the shot. I was really looking forward to it, so I was quite disappointed. I think it would have been much better to ask someone else who was riding with us to take the photos. ^_^;

少しお安くなったプランをちょうど見つけたので、どうせなら一番高さのあるものを！と思い、奮発して申し込みました。
目的地までの船の速さも速く、高さも予想以上でした！下から見てても上から見ててもほとんど人の顔は見えません！
ハワイの風をあびなから空に浮かんでいる瞬間は最高でした！降下した際、水に濡れたいか濡れたくないか確認してもらえるので濡れたくない方も安心して参加できると思います。
私達は二人で参加でしたが一人参加の方がいたため相乗りになりました。そうゆうこともあるんだ…と少し驚きでした。また、スタッフの方がパラセイル中の様子を＄30で撮影してくれますが、それは正直残念すぎる腕前です。望遠レンズでないのかちっっっっさく上に浮かんでいる状態を連写という感じでもちろん表情なんてわかりません。もはや違う人がうつっていても気付きません。楽しみにしていたのにかなりがっかりでした。同乗した他の方に頼んだ方がよほど上手だったと思います^_^;

I went at the same time last year, and it was disappointing that the tour was canceled due to a scheduling conflict with an event, so I'm glad I could participate this year.

I encountered many dolphins, and it was a lot of fun.

The crew was bright and wonderful, and I plan to join again.

去年も同じ時期に行き、申し込みした日が何かのイベントと重なるため、このツアーが中止になってしまって残念だったので、今年は参加出来て良かった。

たくさんイルカと遭遇出来て、とても楽しかった。

明るく素敵なクルー達だったし、また参加しようと思います。

I signed up for a group lesson, but luckily it was just the two of us. Although it was an English lesson, they used important words in Japanese, so there were no issues. They took a lot of photos, and I decided to purchase them! I think I'll challenge myself to surf again!

グループレッスンで申し込みましたが、ラッキーな事に夫婦二人だけでした。英語のレッスンではあるものの、大事なワードは日本語を使ってくださるので問題なしです。写真もいっぱい撮ってくださり、購入させていただきました！サーフィンまたチャレンジしようと思います！

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 loved every bit of it. If your going to Hawaii u must do this activity.

Cheiko san was a wonderful tour guide for a first time snorkeler. She was experienced, frhendly and professional! It was wonderful to follow her and explore underwater world. Even though the weather was a bit windy and waves were high, we could still enjoy safe snorkeling with her.

Participants need to bring some extra cash for equipment rental, entrance fee and others.

**[Actual Experience Review]**
In Japan, you can't drive without a license, but it seems that in Hawaii, that's not necessary, so I ended up driving unexpectedly! There was a verbal explanation of the controls before we started, but since it was my first experience, there were moments when I couldn't make the turns in time and ended up throwing some people into the sea... However, the feeling of cutting through the wind was incredibly pleasant, and I was very satisfied!

**[What I Liked About This Tour]**
They took a considerable number of photos and videos for us. (There was a GoPro set up in front of the jet ski at the shop.) I don't remember how much we paid for it, but we didn't have cash on us, so after returning to the hotel, we arranged for online payment over the phone.

**[Advice for Future Participants]**
The splashes are intense, so even if you don't fall into the sea, you will definitely get wet. Also, both the driver and passengers need goggles, as the splashes make it hard to see ahead. I'm really glad I brought my goggles...

【実際に体験した感想】
日本では免許がないと運転させてくれませんが、ハワイでは必要ないようで
急きょ私が運転することになりました！
運転前に口頭での操作説明はありましたが、やはり初めての経験なので
カーブのタイミングで曲がりきれず海に放り出されている人も・・・
風を切る感覚がとても気持ち良くて私的には大満足でした！


【このツアーで気に入ったところ】
かなりの枚数の写真と動画を撮ってくださってました。
（水上バイクの前にお店設置のゴープロがありました。）
いくらで購入したのか覚えてませんが、私たちは現金を持ち合わせてなく
ホテルに帰ってから電話のやり取りでネット決済？していただきました。


【これから参加する人へのアドバイス】
水しぶきが激しいため海に落ちることはなくても確実に濡れます。
そして、運転者・同乗者ともにゴーグルがないと水しぶきで前が見えません。
ゴーグル持って行ってて本当によかった・・・

Among the two female staff members at the reception, one spoke Japanese. The two male staff members who joined us on the boat only spoke English, but they were very energetic throughout the trip, using gestures to keep us entertained, so it was fine even if we didn't understand English.

On the day of the activity, there was a downpour in the morning, and the weather wasn't great. We went parasailing despite the boat rocking heavily. I regretted not taking motion sickness medication, thinking I would be fine since I had never felt seasick before...

While we were flying, it was okay, but when other groups were parasailing, the boat was rocking violently the whole time, which was the toughest part.

There were a total of five groups of customers, including us: three Japanese couples, one young foreign couple, and one elderly couple. One Japanese man was in a groggy state from start to finish, which was unfortunate...

The view of Hawaii's cityscape and Diamond Head from above while parasailing was amazing!!! This part was truly enjoyable!!

During the flight, the staff took photos for us. About 50 photos were saved to a memory card for $30. However, we were informed about this just before taking off, which felt a bit sudden.
"Photos for $30! What do you want to do?!"
"Y-yes!"
"YEAH! GO!"
...something like that. It would be better to decide in advance whether to say YES or NO. The purchased photos turned out very beautiful, and I was glad I bought them!

Parasailing was incredibly fun! However, I should not have overestimated my physical condition and should have taken motion sickness medication. Otherwise, like me, you might end up spending the afternoon sleeping in the hotel...

受付スタッフの女性2人のうち、1人は日本語の話せる方でした。
一緒に船に乗る男性スタッフ2人は英語オンリーでしたが、終始テンションが高くて（笑）身振り手振りで楽しませてくれたので、英語が分からなくても大丈夫でした。

当日は朝からスコールがあり、天気はイマイチ。沖に出て船が大きく揺れる中でパラセーリングを強行。
乗り物酔いをしたことなかったため、自分は大丈夫と思って酔い止めを飲んでいなかった事を後悔…

飛んでる最中は大丈夫でしたが、他のグループがパラセーリングをしている時はずーっと激しく揺れているのでそれが一番辛かったです。

お客さんは私たち含めて日本人カップル3組、外国人の若いカップル1組、老夫婦1組の計5組。
日本人の男性1人が最初から最後までグロッキー状態で可哀想でした…

パラセーリング中の、上から眺めるハワイの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドは最高！！！この時間は本当に楽しかったです！！

飛んでる最中はスタッフさんが写真を撮ってくれます。
約50枚をメモリーカードに入れて$30。
ただ、飛ぶ直前にその案内をされるので、今それ聞くの？って感じでした（笑）
「写真$30で買えるよ！どうする？！」
「い、いえーす！」
「YEAH！GO！」
…みたいな（笑）
あらかじめYESかNOか決めておいた方が良さそう。購入した写真はとても綺麗で、買ってよかったです！

パラセーリング凄く楽しかったです！
でも自分の体調を過信せず、素直に酔い止めを飲むべき。
でないと、私のようにその日の午後はホテルで寝て過ごすことになってしまいます…（笑）

We participated as a couple, and even without speaking any English, we had no problem enjoying ourselves! The staff, including the transportation team, were very friendly! For those who are a bit anxious, here are some recommendations:

1. If you're worried about the language barrier! The Google Translate app is very useful.

2. If you're concerned about getting seasick! I recommend BONINE (motion sickness medication), which is sold at ABC Store!

夫婦で参加しましたが、
英語全く喋れなくても
問題なく楽しめましたよ！
送迎の方も含め、とても気さくな方々
でした！
心配症な方へ、以下オススメですが

①それでも言葉の壁が心配な方！
グーグル翻訳のアプリ便利です

②船酔いしないか心配な方！
ABC ストアでも売っている
BONINE(酔い止め薬)がオススメ！

First of all, the pickup was in a passenger car instead of a large bus, which made for a comfortable ride, and the air conditioning wasn't too cold, which was great for someone with cold sensitivity.

On the way to Hanauma Bay, our guide, Chieko, shared information about Hawaii's geography, culture, and delicious places to eat. Upon arrival, we smoothly completed various procedures guided by Chieko and took the trolley to Hanauma Bay Beach. We quickly equipped ourselves with the provided snorkeling gear, life jackets, and fins and headed straight into the ocean. At this time, Chieko made sure to take a commemorative photo before my hair got messy.

From here, we were told to go at our own pace, so I will write from the perspective of a beginner with average swimming skills. First, there was a thorough explanation of how to swim, stand, and safety issues in the shallow water, and we started swimming fairly quickly. Even in the shallow water, we enjoyed a variety of colorful fish and corals, but once we got used to it, we splashed out into deeper water, where we encountered swirling silver fish and even sea turtles.

Chieko guided us, saying things like, "There are often such-and-such over there, follow me!" as we swam around Hanauma Bay, and by the end, I was exhausted and made my way back to the beach. They also helped with transporting the equipment and cleaning up, so after snorkeling, it was a breeze to just enjoy the complimentary chips and water. Personally, this was the most fun activity I had in Hawaii.

I think it's worth booking this experience whether you're a snorkeling novice or an expert, unless you want to relax on the beach at your own pace or play with family and friends at the water's edge without worrying about time; this is a tour that moves quickly and efficiently.

まず、迎えが大型バスでは無く乗用車なので乗り心地がよく空調も寒くないので冷え性にはありがたかったです。
ハナウマ湾までの道すがら、ガイドのチエコさんがハワイの地理や文化、美味しい店などを教えてくれます。
到着すると、チエコさんに導かれるまま、スムーズに色々な手続きをクリアし、トロリーに乗ってハナウマ湾ビーチに到着。用意された、シュノーケル、ライフジャケット、足ひれを装備して早速海へ。この際、チエコさんが髪が乱れる前にしっかり記念撮影してくれます。
ここからは、各人のペースに合わせてとのことなので、あくまで泳ぎが普通レベル＆シュノーケリング初体験の一例として書きます。
まず浅瀬でしっかりと泳ぎ方、立ち方、安全や罰金事項の説明があり、割とあっさりと泳ぎ始めました。浅瀬でもたくさんの色とりどりな魚群やサンゴが楽しめましたが、慣れてきたら沖の方へザブザブ繰り出し、そこではクルクル回り続ける銀色の魚や、ウミガメにも会うことができました。
アソコには良く何何がいるよ〜、付いてきて〜と案内してくれるチエコさんのピンクの足ヒレを追いかけてハナウマ湾を泳ぎ周り、最後にはヘトヘトになってビーチにあがりました。
各種装備の運搬や、後片付けもしてくれるので、シュノーケリング後はサービスのポテチと水を頂くだけの楽チンな初シュノーケリングでした。個人的には今回のハワイのアクティビティの中で一番楽しかったです。
よっぽどハナウマ湾に詳しい人でなければ、シュノーケリング素人でも玄人でも頼むべきだと思います。
ただ、自分のペースでビーチでのんびりしたい、波打ち際で家族や友達とワイワイ時間を気にせず遊びたいといった人には向きません、サクサクサクーっとスピーディに潜って帰るツアーです。

My son had a phenomenal time and can’t wait to go again. I have issues snorkeling but I was hopeful I wouldn’t have issues with this. Let’s just say I am extremely thankful that I did it once and that the staff was so very patient and helpful with people like me (who have water issues). I can’t say enough about how great the people are who work this tour and everyone should do it (at least once)

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。

Great instructor and great lesson! We enjoyed our time and will do this again when we return.

I used this service for the first time. The arrangements were smooth, and there were no issues with the support on-site. I will definitely use it again.

初めて利用させて頂きました。手配もスムーズ、現地での対応も問題なしでした。必ず、また利用させて頂きます。

I was really looking forward to parasailing. It had been postponed several times due to bad weather, but finally, I was able to fly this time.

Mr. Yano, who came to pick me up, made the car ride lively with his funny Japanese.

Since we departed from the harbor next to the Hilton, it's very close if you're staying at a hotel around Waikiki, which is great.

Putting on the harness made me nervous, but once I took off, it felt amazing. It was truly like a walk in the sky! I felt like a bird.

I plan to sign up for this every time I go to Hawaii in the future. I hope to see Mr. Yano again.

Thank you very much.

とても楽しみにしていたパラセイリング。これまで何度も天候不良などで、遂行されず、念願かなってやっと今回は、飛ぶことが出来ました。
お迎えに来てくださった「やのさん」面白い日本語を使いながら、車内を盛り上げてくれました。
ヒルトンのお隣のハーバーから出港なので、ワイキキ周辺のホテルからなら、非常に近くて良いですよ。
ハーネスを付けるとドキドキしますが、飛び上がってしまえば、最高に気持ち良いです。まさに空中散歩！鳥になった気分でした。
今後も、ハワイに行く度に、申し込む予定です。
また、「やのさん」に会えるといいな。
ありがとうございました。

The guide was a delightful person, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Since there isn't time to change before and after the flight, I think it's best to go dressed appropriately to board the boat and fly right away. I participated from 150m, and the flight time was just right—not too long and not too short. I put my smartphone in a waterproof case, and I was able to take many photos and videos while flying, which made for wonderful memories! Thank you very much!

ガイドさんが愉快な方で雰囲気良く楽しませてもらえました。
飛ぶ前後に着替える時間などはないので、船に乗ってそのまま飛べる格好で向かうといいと思います。
150mで参加しましたが、飛んでいる時間は長過ぎず短過ぎず、ちょうど良かったです。
スマホを防水ケースに入れて、飛んでいる間もたくさん写真や動画を取れて、とてもいい思い出になりました！
ありがとうございました！

It was my first time going to Hawaii with my parents. My mother tried parasailing for the first time. At first, she said it was scary, but as she got used to it, she started talking about how beautiful the scenery was and seemed to enjoy it. Thank you!

両親と初めて一緒に行ったハワイ。母は初めてのパラセーリング でしたが、初め怖いと言っていましたが、慣れてくると景色が綺麗ねと話したり余裕も出てきて楽しんでいました。ありがとうございました！

I was quite anxious about surfing for the first time, but I was able to enjoy it.

The staff communicated clearly by mixing English and Japanese.

There was also an American staff member who had lived in Japan, and he shared interesting stories from that time!

There were staff members who spoke Korean as well, which gave the impression that people of all nationalities could enjoy themselves!

I got seasick from the waves, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who are anxious.

初めてのサーフィンで不安が大きかったですが、楽しむことができました。
英語と日本語を混ぜながら、分かりやすく伝えていただきました。

日本に住んでいたこともあるアメリカ人スタッフもおり、面白く当時の話をしてくれました！

韓国語を話せるスタッフもいて、あらゆる国籍の方にも楽しんでいただける印象でした！

波で酔ってしまいましたので、不安な方は酔い止めをお勧めします。

I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon. I have a fear of heights, but since my husband wanted to ride, I thought I would try it for the memories and made a reservation! I chose the maximum height of 150 meters. At first, I completely forgot about the height because it was so beautiful, but suddenly I thought, "Wow, this is high! This is scary!" (laughs) I was filming the whole time with my GoPro, so it became a great memory. I also requested the additional photo for $30, which turned out to be a nice keepsake. I recommend getting photos taken from below; it makes for great memories. Next time I go, I think I'll book around 90 meters. (laughs)

ハネムーンでハワイにいきました。
わたしは、高所恐怖症だったんですが、夫が乗りたいと言っていたので記念に乗ってみようと思い予約させていただきました！
高さは最高の150Mを選びました。でも最初は全然綺麗で高さを忘れていましたが途中から急に、たかっ！こわっ！ってなりました。笑ずっとゴープロでムービー撮ってたのでいい思い出です。
追加料金の写真も30ドルでお願いしましたがいい思い出になりました。下から撮ってもらうのおすすめです。いい思い出になります。次行った時は、90Mくらいで予約しようと思います。笑

Absolutely the best part of our trip. The crew was awesome. The pictures and video were an added bonus. Will definitely do again! What an experience!!!

I was anxious because the pick-up didn't come!!
I went to Mokulua Island with a rental kayak and got to see seals and even a pair of sea turtles while snorkeling.
For lunch, I chose the recommended pizza, which was crispy and delicious.

迎えが来なくて焦りました！！
レンタルカヤックでモクルア島へ行って、アザラシや、シュノーケルではペアのウミガメにも会えました。
ランチはオススメのピザをチョイス、クリスピーで美味しかったです。

I was nervous and excited for my first parasailing experience, but once it started, I was truly overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery of Hawaii! The weather was great, and there was a rainbow, it was the best!! I want to go parasailing again when I visit Hawaii!!! It was really amazing!!!

初めてのパラセーリングで不安と期待でドキドキしていましたが、いざ始まると、本当に綺麗なハワイの景色に圧倒されてしまいました！
お天気も良く、虹も出ていて、最高でした！！
またハワイに行ったらパラセーリングしたいです！！！
本当に最高でした！！！

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！

It was my first time participating in a tour, and I really enjoyed it! Since it was a special trip for our honeymoon, I felt it was the right decision to sign up! I would love to join again next time!

初めて参加したツアーでしたが本当に楽しかったです！ハネムーンといううこともあり特別な旅行だったので申し込みをして正解だと思いました！次行くときも参加してみたいです！
