All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

The team at Hawaiian parasail were fantastic. They were efficient, fun and safe from pick up to drop off. Greg our driver was knowledgeable, talkative and funny! The boat crew were very professional and experienced. We even saw a whale!
Would highly recommend

It was super enjoyable. I chose the highest type, and I was a bit anxious, but I was totally fine! My wife can't swim and was really scared, but it was no problem at all. She was nervous at the end, but it became a wonderful memory. Thank you. I highly recommend that those who participate apply with photos.

ちょー気持ち良かったです。
一番高く上がるタイプを選択し少し不安でしたが、私は全然大丈夫でした！
妻は泳げず、怖い怖い言ってましたが、全く問題無かったです。終わった時は緊張してましたが、とても良い思い出になりました。ありがとう
参加される方は、ぜひ写真付きで申込むことをお勧めします。

The weather was bad, but we enjoyed kayaking. It takes about 40 minutes to reach the farthest island, so we didn't go there, but we were able to land on a nearby island.

天気は悪かったですがカヤックは楽しめました
一番遠い島には40分くらいかかるので行きませんでしたが近くの島には上陸できました。

On New Year's Day 2020, I enjoyed a view of Waikiki from the sky. Most tours take a break on New Year's Day, so be careful when planning your schedule! They do operate during the year-end, though. Thank you for the paragliding experience I participated in! They were open on New Year's Day! There were two groups with a total of seven people. The wind was just right, not too cold, and it was perfect. One downside was that the pick-up location was in the city rather than at the hotel, which made me a bit anxious, but it turned out fine.

2020年、元旦に空からワイキキを眺めてきました。
元旦は、ほとんどのツアーがお休みになってしまいますので、予定を組む際には、注意が必要ですよ！年末はやってますがね。
今回参加したパラは、有難うございました！元旦に営業していましたよ！
参加は二組で7名でした。
風も丁度よく、寒くもなく最高でした。
一つ難点は、PICK場所が、ホテルではなく街中でしたので、少々不安でしたが大丈夫でした。

I waited for quite a while and felt a bit sluggish, but once I put on the equipment and got ready to take off, I was nervous and a little anxious. However, there’s nothing quite like this feeling. My family waving below looked so small. The thrill of landing was also fantastic.

随分と時間待ちがあって多少だらけてましたが、
装置を装着していざ舞い上がるぞと緊張と少し
不安でしたが、こんな気持ちいいのはないですね。
下で手を振っている家族も小さくみえます。
着水のスリルも満点でした。

This was my first time participating. Since I stayed at Hawaiian Village, it was easy to walk there, which was convenient.

I even had the time to take photos with my camera, and it was a lot of fun!

I recommend that people who are prone to seasickness take medication in advance. Not only on the boat, but paragliding itself involves being in a Cessna, which can be quite bumpy. Be sure to prepare well!

初めて参加させて頂きました。
宿泊が、ハワイアンビレッジだった事もあり、歩きで行く事ができて楽チンでした。

カメラで撮影する余裕もあり、とても楽しかったです！

船酔いしやすい人は事前に薬を飲むことをおすすめします。船だけじゃなく、パラセイリング自体はセスナに乗って乱高下している状態なので。確りと準備を！

I participated in the 11 o'clock session. Since it said to gather at 10:30, I arrived around 10:20 and was told that roll call would be taken at the beach starting at 10:45, so I waited for nearly 30 minutes on the beach. The weather was nice, and the breeze felt pleasant. There were many international guests on board, and we had a great time taking photos together. We went further out than I expected, and it was fun to splash in the water as we moved along. Seeing Diamond Head and the streets of Waikiki from a different angle revealed a different charm. I will definitely participate again.

11時の回に参加しました。
10:30集合と書かれていたため10:20頃に着くと10:45からビーチで点呼を取ると言われてビーチで30分近く待ちました。
天気も良く、風が気持ちよかったです。海外の方がたくさん乗船されていて、写真を撮り合いながら楽しく過ごせました。
思っていたより沖の方まで行き、水しぶきを浴びながら進んでいくのが楽しかったです。ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの街並みを別の角度から見るとまた違った魅力がありました。また必ず参加します。

Becoming aware early in the morning a boat is needed to go to the beautiful Kane’ohe sandbar, I called Veltra trying to make a same-day kayak booking (online booking must be made a day beforehand). The lady was warm and patient to help check availability and input personal data of four participants - most important of all get 2 tandems confirmed for our trip! When we checked in at He’eia Kea State Park, water in the bay was a bit choppy, yet not enough for a formal cancellation. Two ladies in our group saw the condition creepy and had to abandon the adventure. As on the phone I was informed no cancellation can be made for the same-day booking, we had to forgo using 1 of the 2 double kayaks. Well, the trip of two-go is simply AMAZING!

It was the best sea! You can rent bodyboards, snorkeling gear, and mats for free. The sand is fine and the waves are strong, so snorkeling is difficult. I got hooked on bodyboarding! The pizza for lunch was big and very delicious. The kids finished it all! There is a Japanese staff member who provides thorough explanations, which is reassuring. There are also bicycle rentals, but since it's for ages 13 and up, we couldn't do that and enjoyed the sea the whole time. Thank you very much.

最高の海でした！ボディボード、シュノーケル道具、ゴザを無料でレンタルできます。砂が細かく波が強いのでシュノーケルは難しいです。ボディボードにはまりました！昼食のピザも大きいですがとてもおいしかったです。子どもたちも完食でした！スタッフの方に日本人がおられますし、丁寧に説明してくださるので安心できます。自転車レンタルもありますが13歳以上だということでうちは無理でしたのでずっと海を満喫しました。ありがとうございました。

We were able to share wonderful memories of Hawaii as a family.
The view was amazing!! The staff was fantastic!! Parasailing was the best!!

家族でたいへん良いハワイの思い出を共有できた。
見晴らし最高！！スタッフ最高！！パラセイリング最高！！

We had really high expectations, looking at the pictures and reading some of the reviews. Unfortunately, it did not turn out anything like we had expected.
The whole thing took over 6 hours, from the time we were picked up and dropped back. Mind you the actual underwater scooter experience was just 10 minutes of these 6 hours.
We were made to wait on the boat for about 3 hours and obviously lot of people got sea sick.

The tour guides were really great and I appreciated their help. However, the wind was strong, making it very difficult to go out to sea with the kayaks, so the little ones had to settle for just the river.

ツアーの担当の方々は本当に良くしてくれて良かったです。ただ、風が強く、海にカヤックで出るのは非常に厳しかったので、小さい子たちは川の方だけで我慢しました。

Since it was my first time, I chose the 90m option, but I regret not going for the 150m.
You can really feel the excitement of being on a southern island, yay!
The staff was very efficient, and before I knew it, I was up in the sky.

初めてなので９０mにしましたが、１５０mにすれば良かったと後悔しています。
南の島へきたぜ、ヒャッホー！
と言う気分を味わえます。
スタッフの手際が良く、あれよあれよと言う間に空の上です。

Hanauma Bay has limited parking, likely due to its focus on preserving nature, and there tends to be traffic before entry because you must watch a video beforehand. However, if you join this tour, you can enter smoothly like with a fast pass.

For snorkeling, it was our family's first time, but the practice made us feel safe and we enjoyed it. Most importantly, we were guided to the best spots to see fish, and we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful sea, including a surprise greeting from an eel.

The transportation was also great, with a cheerful guide who spoke fluent Japanese, providing sightseeing information and recommendations for delicious places, making for a fun and engaging time. I was initially unsure about joining a guided tour, but I definitely recommend it.

Additionally, after participating, you can get commemorative photos taken underwater, which you can upload to social media, making it a truly comprehensive experience with excellent cost performance.

ハナウマ湾は、自然を守る利用からなのでしょうか駐車場が少ない、事前のビデオを見なくてはならないとの理由からどこでも入場前には渋滞しています。
このツアーで参加をするとすべてファストパスのようにすんなり入場できます。
シュノケリングの方は、私達家族は初めてでしたが練習もあり安心して楽しめました。
何より魚が見えるベストな場所に誘導してもらえるのでたくさんのさかなや、突然のウツボの挨拶など綺麗な海を充分に堪能できました。
送迎も、日本語が流暢な外人の陽気なガイドさんが観光案内や美味しいお店の紹介も交えて対応してくれるので、飽きることなく楽しい時間を過ごせます。
はじめはガイド付きツアーで参加するのか迷いましたが絶対にオススメだと思います。
あと、参加後には、海中での記念撮影なども
SNSにアップしてもらえるので本当に至れりつくせりでコスパも最高でした。

The wind was strong, so kayaking was difficult, but overall, it was fun! I want to try it again!

風が強かったので、カヤックが難しかったですが、全体通しては、楽しかったです〜
また、やってみたいです‼️

My first time paragliding! I usually don't have good experiences with activities, but this time I was completely satisfied! The timing was smooth from the hotel, so I didn't feel stressed and was able to unwind.

生まれて初めてのパラセーリング、毎回アクテビティでいい思いがなく終わっていたが今回はすべて満足‼️時間もホテルから出て円滑に進んだのでストレスも溜まらず発散出来ました

The children were scared at first, but they quickly became excited and had fun. Since we took motion sickness medication beforehand, there was no seasickness. I would like to do it again.

子供達も最初は怖がっていましたが、すぐに楽しくなり興奮していました。事前に酔い止め薬を服用していたので船酔いもなかったです。またやってみたいです。

Great experience. Nice location for surfing. The instructor is very nice and friendly

I flew with my two children. They were thrilled to be flying higher than the birds. They said they definitely want to do it again when we come back to Hawaii.

子供と三人で飛びました。鳥より高い位置で飛べたことに、子供が感激していました。またハワイに来たら絶対やりたいと言っていました。

It was my first time paddleboarding. The thorough explanation beforehand made it easy for me to get on the board! The scenery was amazing, and I even encountered a bird species that is endangered. Additionally, I felt at ease and enjoyed myself thanks to our friendly guide, Mieko, who provided appropriate and careful guidance. Thank you very much! I would love to come back again!

初めてのサップでした。
事前の説明を丁寧にしていただけたので、すんなりボードに乗れました！
景色も最高で、絶滅危惧種の鳥にも巡り会えたり、またガイドのミエコさんのフレンドリーなお人柄や適切なかつ丁寧なご案内で安心して楽しめました！ありがとうございました！また、伺いたいと思います！

Since I always played golf, I decided to try surfing for the first time while in Hawaii. When I went to the surf shop offering lessons, there was quite a crowd waiting, which was encouraging. It was a semi-private lesson, but I felt there wasn't much difference from a group lesson. The timing for paddling with the waves was entirely up to the coach. Since I was on a longboard, I was able to stand up right from the start, which was fun. However, paddling out to the ocean was tough, and that was quite challenging. I'm excited that there are more options in Hawaii to enjoy in the future.

いつもゴルフばかりだったので、せっかくのハワイなのだからと、はじめてサーフィンに挑戦しました。
催行しているサーフショップに行くと、かなりの人数が待っていて盛況。セミプライベートレッスンでしたが、グループレッスンでもさほど違いはないように思います。
波に背にしてパドリングするタイミングは全てコーチ任せ。ロングボードなので、初めから立つことができて楽しかったです。ただ、沖に向かってのパドリングは辛くて、これだけは大変でした。
ハワイの選択肢が増えてこれからも楽しみです。

Staff was wonderful and funny! Excellent time and views! A must do at 1000 feet!!!

We participated as a family of four. The silence at 150 meters above ground was very pleasant. Even those who were hesitant to join said it was amazing! They were very satisfied and glad they did it.

家族４人で参加しました。
150m上空は無音でとても心地が良かったです。
参加を躊躇していた者も最高！やって良かったと大変満足してました。

I tried surfing for the first time. They teach you carefully, so I think anyone can do it. However, I couldn't stand up even once. It was about two hours in the morning, but my whole body is sore. You can't bring your phone or camera, so if you have a partner, I recommend having them take pictures for you. Of course, the shop staff will take videos and photos, but they sell them for over $50, which is a bit expensive. My wife also participated, but she got seasick and had to give up early. If you're prone to motion sickness, you'll need some medication for that.

初めてサーフィンをしました。丁寧に教えてくれるので、誰でもできると思います。ただ私は一度も立ち上がれませんでした。午前中2時間ほどでしたが、全身が筋肉痛です。携帯やカメラは持って行けないので、もしパートナーがいれば取ってもらうことをお勧めします。もちろんショップのかたが動画と写真を撮ってくれますが、50ドル以上で販売されますので、少し高いですね。妻も参加しましたが、船酔いのようになってしまい早々にギブアップ。酔いやすい方は酔い止めも必要ですね。

A fantastic kayaking experience with great service! I had a lot of fun! Also, the leisurely pace of the tour around Flat Island was very pleasant, and I would love to request Tomo again! Thank you very much!

サービス精神満点のカヤックの波乗り体験！かなり楽しかったです！あと、フラットアイランドのゆったりペースの案内もとても気持ちよく、またともさんにお願いしたいです！
ありがとうございました！

The driver of the shuttle is very helpful and funny. The design of the activity is very family friendly. Kids won't feel too tired or bored.

Every year i come to Hawaii i get the bicycle and ride to my spots and just relax. When the time is right, head on back and eat some Pizza! I wanted to kayak to the island, but got sidetracked scuba diving. I am going back again in May and will be doing this for sure!

The captain and crew were fantastic. They made sure everyone had a great experience. Being underwater on the scooter was a little piece of heaven as I do not swim. I got to see the beauty of the ocean. The view of crater and fish etc. Were a work of art. I will return the next time I visit and every time after that!!!!! Bring a smile, towel, and sunscreen.

The beautiful sea was amazing to see from above! As soon as you arrive, you board the boat to start, so I recommend that those who are prone to seasickness take motion sickness medication in advance.

綺麗な海が上空から見渡せて最高でした！到着してすぐに船に乗ってスタートとなるので、船酔いしやすい方は事前に酔い止めを飲むことをオススメします。

The sailing on this day was under clear skies.
It was great to participate last time, and this time was also good.

This yacht cutting through the wind is truly a pleasant experience.

Occasionally getting splashed by the waves is also quite enjoyable.

There's no doubt that it will become addictive.

I will definitely participate again next time.

この日のセーリングは　晴天　です。
前回も、参加してGOODでしたが、今回も　GOODでしたよ。

風を切って　進んでいく　このヨットは
本当に心地いいものです。

時折、波を浴びて　これも　心地いいものです。

病みつきなること間違い無しです。

次回も、また　参加させていただきますよ。
