All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

This is my second time using this service, and I felt that it was a friendly and enjoyable surfing experience where I could stand up and ride the waves right away. I have tried other schools at Waikiki Beach, but this lesson is definitely the best. I will be visiting again soon, so thank you!

今回で2度目の利用になりますが、いずれもすぐに立って滑ることができ、親切で楽しいサーフィン体験スクールだと感じました。ワイキキビーチの他のスクールでも体験しましたが、やはりこちらのレッスンが一番です。近いうちにまた伺いますので、よろしくお願いします。

I took the shuttle bus from the Sheraton Hotel. The seats were unreserved and the air conditioning was quite strong. When we got off the bus, only the Japanese participants were called and given an explanation of the itinerary in Japanese. The tour itself was explained only in English, but the atmosphere was enjoyable.

シェラトンホテルから送迎バスで向かいました。車内は自由席でエアコンは冷房強め。
バスを降りると日本人だけ呼ばれて日本語で行程などの説明があります。ツアー自体は英語の説明のみでしたが、雰囲気は楽しかったです。

We set off with four groups, including ourselves. The boat that takes you to the flying area is already an attraction! We headed offshore while enjoying the sea breeze. The staff were cheerful, and we had a great time.

私たち含め、4組で出発しました。
飛ぶところまで行く船がもはやアトラクション！潮風を浴びながら沖合に出ました。
スタッフの方も陽気で楽しい時間を過ごせました。

This tour was the perfect amount of time and offered so many different things to do. Nothing better than enjoying the day with your teenaged kids and they actually enjoyed being together. Thanks to everyone, especially the driver for the tubing/banana boat. So much fun!

It was difficult for me to make a reservation for Hanauma Bay on my own due to scheduling issues, so I took advantage of this plan that allowed me to have a reservation and enjoy my time at Hanauma Bay freely. I was anxious about my English speaking skills, but there was a guidance sheet in Japanese, and the driver was able to understand our limited English, which made communication enjoyable. The entrance fee was collected by the driver, and a participant from an English-speaking country paid for everyone.

Since it was my first time snorkeling, I borrowed a life jacket. In the early morning, it was a bit chilly, so the life jacket helped keep me warm and was also useful for snorkeling. Even in shallow areas, I could see fish swimming, including the humuhumunukunukuapua'a! I would like to request this again if the opportunity arises. Thank you very much.

自力でハナウマ湾の入場予約を取るには日程の都合で難しく、予約を取っていただける＋自由にハナウマ湾で遊べるこちらのプランを利用させていただきました。
英語のスピーキングに自信がなく不安でしたが、日本語での案内シートがありドライバーの方も私達の拙い英語の意味を汲み取ってくださり楽しくコミュニケーションが取れました。入場料金はドライバーさんが集め参加者の中にいた英語圏の方がまとめて支払ってくださいました。

初のシュノーケリングだったのでライフジャケットも借りました。早朝だと少し肌寒いくらいなのでライフジャケットが防寒になり、シュノーケリングの助けにもなり役立ちました。浅いところでもお魚が泳いでいてフムフムヌクヌクアプアアも見られました！
また機会があればお願いしたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

The website mentioned that participation might be declined if you cannot understand English, but that was not the case at all. The receptionist was Japanese, and the person who provided the explanation was a foreigner, but they kindly and politely explained everything in Japanese. They sold videos taken from the camera attached to the jet, but I also wanted images and videos showing me from the outside while riding.

英語を理解できなければ、参加をお断りするかもしれませんと、ＨＰに説明がありましたが、全くそんなことはありませんでした。
受付の方は日本人でしたし、説明してくださった方は外国の方でしたが
日本語で丁寧に親切に説明してくださいました。
ジェットに取り付けたカメラの動画を販売してくれましたが
外から引きで乗っている姿を撮った画像や動画も欲しかったです。

We love the experience they provide. Music is great. Staff is all good people and the activities are all fun. Definitely recommend doing it.

From start to finish, this excursion was worth every penny! Phenomenal staff and awesome adventures!

Family friendly and safety conscious.

We flew together as a family of three. From above, the deep blue ocean was visible. I was surprisingly amazed at how blue the sea is! Seeing Diamond Head and the city of Honolulu from the ocean was refreshing and truly exhilarating. Our whole family was very satisfied! On our way out on the boat, we even encountered a sea turtle and were overwhelmed by Hawaii's natural beauty.

親子3人で一緒に飛びました。
上空から見えるのは、紺碧の海。海ってこんなに青いんだ！と年甲斐もなく驚きました。海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやホノルルのまちも新鮮で、まさに爽快。家族一同、大満足でした！
ボートで沖に向かう途中、ウミガメにも会え、ハワイの自然に圧倒されました。

The staff were all cheerful and fun! Both the SUP and canoeing were enjoyable! The snorkeling was a bit cold, but it was great to see so many fish.

スタッフさんが皆明るくて面白い！supもカヌーも楽しかったです！
シュノーケルは少し寒かったけど、お魚がたくさん見られて良かったです。

We participated with five people: our family of four and my grandfather. After completing the check-in, we had a slight delay in departure because the previous group returned late.

We had a reservation for 4:30 PM. Since we were the only family there, the wait time was minimal, and we finished without any time to feel seasick.

For parasailing, we split into groups of two and three, and everything went smoothly. We also requested photos for $40, and they took various shots for us.

My daughter, grandfather, and I went together, and 150 meters was higher than we expected, offering a breathtaking view. My 78-year-old grandfather was very moved, saying it would be a great memory.

After disembarking, the staff kindly transferred the photo data to my smartphone. I highly recommend this experience if you visit Hawaii.

　家族4人とおじいちゃんと、計5人で参加しました。受付を済ませて、始まりは前のグループが戻ってくるのが遅かったので、少し送れての出発でした。
　16時半からの予約。私たちの家族しかいなかったので、待ち時間が少なく、船酔いする暇もなく終わりました。
　パラセーリングは二人と三人で分かれて、段取り良く進みました。40ドルで写真もお願いしていたので、いろんなショットを撮って頂きました。
　娘とおじいちゃんと三人でしましたが、150mは思った以上に高く、絶景の眺めでした。78歳のおじいちゃんは、冥土の土産になるわーと、とても感動していました。
　下船して受付の方が写真のデータをわざわざ私のスマホに入れてくれました。
ハワイに来たら是非お薦めです。

We are very thankful to Dan for showing us this extraordinary bay! We saw every species of fish. Dan took underwater pictures and shared the link with us. The best guided snorkeling trip so far!

I was a bit anxious about snorkeling after a long time, but since there was a Japanese guide, I felt at ease participating. The arrangements were also good. I was able to see many fish, and it was a wonderful experience.

ひさしぶりのシュノーケリングで不安がありましたが、日本語ガイドさんでしたので安心して参加できました。段取りもよかったです。たくさんのお魚を見れて素晴らしい体験をさせていただきました。

I participated with my child (5th grade). It was our first experience with banana boat, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling, but the water depth was safe enough for adults to stand, so we enjoyed it safely.

子供（小5）と参加しました。バナナボート、Sup、カヤック、シュノーケル、全て初めての体験でしたが、大人の足が届く水深なので安全に楽しめました。

We set off with three groups, including ourselves. The boat that takes you to the flying spot is already an attraction! We headed offshore while enjoying the sea breeze. Before flying, I was a bit worried because I have a fear of heights, but strangely, I didn't feel the height and it was refreshing. The staff were cheerful, and we had a great time.

私たち含め、3組で出発しました。
飛ぶところまで行く船がもはやアトラクション！潮風を浴びながら沖合に出ました。
飛ぶ前は高所恐怖症なこともあり少し怖いかなと思っていましたが、不思議と高さは感じず爽快でした。
スタッフの方も陽気で楽しい時間を過ごせました。

I chose the plan with the banana boat. With about two and a half hours of activity time, I was wondering if it might be too much for just two adults before we started, but that was definitely not the case. We were able to enjoy activities for the entire duration! Especially during snorkeling, I was amazed to see so many fish gathering right in front of me, attracted by the food provided by the staff.

バナナボート付きのプランにしました。2時間半ほどの活動時間で、始まる前は大人二人には持て余すかな…？と思いましたが全然そんなことはありませんでした。時間いっぱいアクティビティを楽しむことができました！特にシュノーケルでは、スタッフさんにいただいた餌を目当てにたくさんの魚たちが目の前に集まってくれて感動しました。

This was the most expensive parasailing I've ever done! The view from the top is amazing! I did get seasick, but the staff were very considerate and kind. Thank you!

今までで一番高いパラセーリングでした！上まで行くと景色がとても良いです！船酔いしてしまいましたが、スタッフの方々が気を遣ってくださり親切でした。ありがとうございました。

The guide and his wife were very kind, and we always had a great time. We decided to go based on the reviews, and it was even better than we expected. During the car rides to and from the location, we asked various questions and learned a lot about the area, making the travel time and activities enjoyable throughout.

The view of the entire bay was very beautiful and moving.

ガイドさんご夫妻がとても親切で常に楽しい時間を過ごさせてもらいました。
口コミを見て決めましたが、それ以上でとても楽しめました。
行き帰りの車中でも、色々質問したり、現地のことをたくさん教えていただき
移動中も、アクティビティ中もずっと楽しめました。

湾全体の景色がとても綺麗で感動しました。

Yoga on the ocean. The waves are calm, and it's an experience in shallow waters, so even beginners can easily participate. After enjoying about an hour of yoga, you can take a commemorative photo in your favorite pose for just $10. You can refresh both your mind and body in the great nature of Hawaii. Don't worry if you're concerned about language barriers.

海の上でのヨガ。波は穏やかで浅瀬での体験なので初心者でも気軽に体験できます。約１時間たっぷりヨガをした後に10$で好きなポーズで記念写真も撮ってもらえます。ハワイの大自然の中で心身ともにリフレッシュできます。言葉に不安がある方も大丈夫です。

Since my daughter can only apply for private lessons at her age, we have requested private sessions each time (this is the third time this year). This year, we had the same teacher who is fluent in Japanese as last year! It seems my daughter remembered her and was completely at ease during their conversation. Since it was a private lesson, they enjoyed their time together one-on-one until the very end. I would like to request this again next time.

年齢的に娘がまだプライベートでしか申し込めない為、毎回プライベートでお願いしています（今年で3回目）
今年は昨年と同じ日本語ペラペラな先生でした！
娘も覚えていたようですっかり慣れた感じで会話していました。
プライベートなのでマンツーマンで時間ギリギリまで楽しんでいました。
また次回もお願いしたいと思います。

This was my third time participating. The instructors are very kind, so I can join with peace of mind every time. The waves were a bit high, possibly due to the tsunami two days prior, but I felt safe participating. I would love to join again when I go to Hawaii!

今回で3回目の参加でした。
優しく指導してくれるので、毎回安心して参加できます。
この日は2日前の津波の影響か波が高めだったのですが安心して参加できました。
またハワイに行く時は参加したいです！

I flew with my two children! I wasn't very good at this kind of thing, but since the kids wanted to fly, I did my best. Before flying, I was really nervous, but once we took off, it felt exhilarating! We also had the option to take photos, and we made great memories together.

子供と3人で飛びました！
こういったものは苦手でしたが、子供が飛びたい！というので頑張りました。
飛ぶ前は本当にもうドキドキでしたが、飛んでみたら怖気持ちいい！笑
オプションですが写真も撮っていただき、
子供たちといい思い出が出来ました。

While parasailing, there are plenty of fun things to do, like enjoying the scenery and the feeling of floating. At the end, the captain skillfully lands you on the water. This is the best part.

パラセーリング中は、景色を見たり、浮遊感を楽しんだりと、楽しいこと満載です。
ラストにキャプテンが上手に海へ着水してくれます。これが最高です。

I was taught how to stand on land and practiced standing repeatedly, then we set off to the sea! The instructor helped me until I was able to ride the waves, and after that, I just had to balance and stand on my own, so it was very easy to challenge myself! I was able to stand up 4-5 times, and it was so much fun!

Paddling was indeed tiring, so I exhausted my energy in just one hour, but I enjoyed it more than enough! I want to try surfing again!

陸で立ち方を教えてもらい繰り返し立つ練習、その後に海へ出発しました！波に乗るまではインストラクターが助けてくれて後は自分でバランス取って立つだけなのでとても容易に挑戦できました！4-5本立つことができて最高に楽しかったです！

パドリングがやはり疲れたので、1時間で体力消耗、十分すぎるくらい楽しめました！またサーフィン挑戦したいです！

Nice short ride out to the sandbar. At high tide volleyball net was mostly under water. Life jackets and balls to throw readily available. Great staff.

I was only anxious about my English, but there were explanations in Japanese on the bus, so there were no problems. We were able to enter Hanauma Bay first thing in the morning. The entrance fee was paid by a representative from the foreign passengers on the same bus. I was happy to see wild sea lions. Diving allowed us to see fish, which was overwhelming. This is the best memory of Hawaii for my 11-year-old daughter and me. Since the meeting time is at 12:30, we were able to stay for a long time, so I recommend it.

英語に不安しかありませんでしたが、車内での説明案内文も日本語のがあり、問題ありませんでした。
ハナウマ湾に朝一入場出来ました。
入場は同じバスに乗った外国人の方が代表で支払う形でした。
野生のアシカも見れて嬉しかったです。
潜れば魚も見れて感無量です。
11歳の娘、私共にハワイのベスト思い出です。
12:30集合なので長時間滞在出来るので、オススメです。

I was grateful that they offered tours on weekends! I can't speak Japanese, but the guide was kind, so it wasn't a problem. They rent out bulky snorkeling sets, so you can enjoy yourself with just the essentials like swimwear and drinks!

土日もツアーしてくれて助かりました！日本語は話せませんが、ガイドの方が優しいので問題ありません。
かさばるシュノーケリングセットをレンタルしてくれるので、水着や飲み物といった最低限の荷物だけで楽しめます！

I participated in the tour hoping for a guide who could speak Japanese since I was with my 10-year-old child who doesn't understand English. Thanks to Dan, who is very fluent in Japanese, and Chieko, a Japanese guide with extensive experience in Hawaii, we had an amazing time!

My son, who had been avoiding the ocean since he got very seasick in Okinawa, was also very satisfied. If there's another opportunity, I would love to join another tour with both of them! ^_^

英語を解さない10歳児連れだったため、日本語が通じるガイドさんを希望して参加しました。日本語がとっても堪能なダンさんとハワイ歴の長い日本人のちえこさんのガイドのおかげで最高に楽しめました！

以前沖縄の海で酷く酔って以来海を敬遠していた息子も大満足。またチャンスがあったらお二人のガイドツアーに参加したいです^_^

I participated with my high school son and middle school daughter. All three of us did parasailing at the same time. One of the staff members at the reception and one of the two staff members on the boat spoke Japanese, so communication wasn't too difficult.

We were able to enjoy a great view of Waikiki from the sea. My daughter was smiling and having fun the whole time. Just before returning to the boat at the end, we lightly touched the water, but we were quickly pulled back up, and I felt that the control was very good.

高校生の息子、中学生の娘、私の3人で参加しました。3人同時にパラセーリングを行いました。受付の方と、ボートに乗り込んだスタッフ2名のうちの1名は日本語ができましたので、コミュニケーションにはそう困りませんでした。

ワイキキを海側から一望することができ、大変よい景色を見ることが出来ました。娘は終始笑顔で楽しんでいました。終盤にボートに戻る直前、海に軽く着水してもらいましたが、すぐに引き上げていただきコントロールが上手だと感じました。

We had the most fun on the Kaneohe Sandbar Tour. We snorkeled, kayaked, played in the water, & had the best time!!! The staff was so helpful & wonderful. I highly recommend doing this. It was one of my favorite parts of our trip!
