All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I participated with my husband and our third-grade son! My husband is not a fan of things like roller coasters, so I was a bit worried at first. However, it turned out to be really great. Up in the sky at a height of 150 meters, it was very quiet, and he seemed to really enjoy the beauty of the ocean and the pleasant breeze. When we got back, he had a satisfaction level of 120%!

We have two more children at home, and it’s often difficult to fit in activities with them around, but I thought it would be a good opportunity to create memories for our eldest son, and it was definitely worth it!

主人と小3長男で参加しました！
主人はジェットコースターなど、苦手なタイプなので、当初どうかなー、と思っていましたが。
結果、とてもよかったようです。150メートルの高さの空の上ではとても静かで、ひたすら海の美しさと心地よい風を感じられたようで、帰ってきた時、満足度120%の表情でした！

うちは下にあと二人子どもがいて、彼らがいるとなかなかアクティビティがいれられなかったのですが、長男の思い出作りと思い、参加、とても良かったです！！

There's nothing to obstruct the view, it's the best scenery.
Feeling the wind, charging up with energy.
Even the sea turtles came to play,
It became a time to truly feel the nature of Hawaii!

さえぎるものが何もない、サイコーの景色⛰
風を感じて、パワーチャージ
ウミガメも遊びに来てくれて
ハワイの自然を感じられる時間になりました！

Since I saw in the reviews that we should allow plenty of time for our return, I made a reservation starting at 1:30 PM and planned to return by 4 PM, so I booked a dinner for 6:30 PM just to be safe. However, it turned out to be quite tight!

I book activities every year, and the flow is generally the same with all companies (arriving at the activity company by car, moving to another boat by ship, and waiting for our turn until called), but here there were no snacks or drinks available, and there weren't enough chairs, so many people were standing, making the wait feel long.

We only did jet skiing, but for an activity that lasts about 20 minutes, we gathered at 12:50 PM and arrived back at the hotel after 6 PM. It might be more time-efficient to choose a plan that allows you to experience various activities all at once.

Even a 12-year-old child was allowed to drive when riding with a parent, which was great! There was a point for changing drivers separate from the green floating balls where you go around in circles, and we switched drivers several times.

After returning to the company, you can purchase the GoPro images taken by a self-timer mounted on the jet ski's handle, but due to a mistake on their part, the data was not found, and we waited a long time. When they finally found it, the only video was just a few seconds long. The photos were also disappointing; since it was a two-person jet ski, the only shot of the previous driver was a close-up of their upper body, and the overall view of us riding was not captured, so the ski itself wasn't in the picture. We paid $40 for photos and $40 for the video plus tax (CDR was $40, USB was $50), but both were disappointing. The video was just a few seconds long (laughs).

I had brought an underwater camera and a waterproof phone case with enthusiasm, but I found out just before that they were not allowed, which was disappointing since I was counting on the GoPro. However, the photos and videos from other people's parasailing looked great, as they were taken from a good distance with their cameras! I should have asked for a full shot of the two of us before attaching the GoPro to the body.

It's a good idea to bring small bills for tips, which you can give when getting off the boat. We only had two $20 bills for safety, so after tipping, we didn't have enough money left for the photo data, and I had to give my credit card number to the Japanese staff at the reception to make the purchase later.

Even after finally finishing, we were told the next pickup car would arrive in 30 minutes, so I thought it would be wise to bring some cash to shop at the nearby Safeway and kill time.

After finally getting into the late-arriving car, it took nearly an hour to get to the hotel. I'm glad we made the reservation with plenty of time to spare. The company had two restrooms, and since I changed clothes, I didn't have to stay in my wet swimsuit.

I hope this information is helpful!

帰りの時間には余裕をとこちらの口コミで見た為、13時半スタートの予約をし、16時戻りとなっていたので余裕を持って18時半のディナーを予約していましたが、まさかのギリギリでした！

毎年アクティビティを予約しているので、どの会社も同じような流れですが、（車でアクティビティの会社に着き、船で拠点となる別の船まで移動して、呼ばれるまで順番を待つ）こちらはスナックや飲み物等もなく、椅子も足らずたくさん立っている人がいるので待ち時間が長く感じます。

私たちはジェットスキーだけにしましたが、20分くらいのアクティビティの為に、12時50分集合〜18時すぎのホテル着となりました。
だったら色々一気に体験できるプランの方が時間的には効率的かもしれません。

12歳の子どもでも親との二人乗りなら運転させてもらえましたので、その点はとても良かったです♪
ぐるぐる回遊するポイントの緑の浮きボールとは別に、運転者を交代する為のポイントもあり、私たちは何度か交代しました(^-^)

終了後会社に戻ってから、ジェットスキーのハンドルに設置されたセルフタイマーで撮られているゴープロの画像をデータ購入できるようになっていますが、あちらの手違いでデータが見つからずずっと待っていて、やっと見つかり見せて頂いたものは動画は数秒の1つだけでした。
写真も、二人乗りジェットスキーだと、前の運転者の上半身アップのみで、乗っているところの全体像は写せないのでスキーも写っておらず、写真40ドルと動画40ドル＋税（CDRは40、USBは50ドル）しましたが、どちらも残念な感じでした。動画は数秒でしたし(笑)
張り切って水中カメラや防水スマホケースを持って行ったのですが、持ち込み禁止と直前でわかり、ゴープロに期待していただけに…。他の方のパラセイリングなどの写真や動画はカメラとの距離感があるのでちゃんと撮れていてとても良さそうでした！ゴープロを車体に取りつける前に2人で乗っている全体像を1枚お願いすれば良かったです。

チップは船を降りる時などに渡せるように細かいお札を持って行った方がいいです。
私たちは念の為の20ドル札2枚しか持っていなかったので、チップを渡したら写真データのお金が足らなくなってしまい、受付の日本人のスタッフさんにクレジットの番号などを後から伝えて購入できました。

やっと終わっても次のお迎えの車は30分後と言われて、同じ敷地内にあるセーフウェイなど買い物して時間を潰すにもある程度の現金持ってくるべきだなと思いました。

やっと遅れて来た車に乗ってからも、ホテルまでは1時間近くかかりました。
相当な余裕を持って予約しておいて良かったです。会社に2つトイレがあり、服に着替えをしたので濡れた水着を着っぱなしではなく済みました。

参考になれば幸いです。

I probably never leave reviews but Dan's hospitality and wonderful experience makes first time snorkelers so easy anf fun!

It was a great experience that both children and adults could enjoy. The staff were cheerful and helped create a fun atmosphere for all participants. The view of Waikiki from the ocean is also wonderful. However, it was disappointing that the start time was delayed by 30 minutes because I had to call after 10 minutes of waiting for the pickup, and it ended up being about 20 minutes late. The boat sways quite a bit, so those who are prone to motion sickness should definitely take some anti-nausea medication.

子供も大人も楽しめる良い体験でした。スタッフも陽気に盛り上げてくれて、参加者みんなで楽しく過ごせました。沖からみるワイキキの風景もステキです。 迎えが来なくて予定から10分後には電話をかけ、最終的に20分ほど遅れたため開始が30分ずれでしまったのが残念ポイントです。結構ボートが揺れるので酔いやすい人は酔い止め必須ですね。

Hanauma Bay snorkeling was guided in Japanese, so I was able to experience it with peace of mind from departure to arrival, and the half day flew by. It was great to hear various stories about sightseeing spots during the car ride as well. Although I didn't get to see the sea turtles I was hoping for during snorkeling, the guide was always attentive to the course and the participants' conditions, ensuring we could see various fish. I would like to try again for the sea turtles.

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリングは日本語ガイドさんでしたので、出発から
到着まで安心して体験できたので半日があっという間でした。
車中でも観光名所などいろいろな話も聞けて良かったです。
シュノーケリングでは、期待していたウミガメには会えませんでしたが
様々な魚を見れるようコースや参加者の体調を常に気遣ってくれていました。
ウミガメ再度挑戦したいなと思います。

Best dive company on Oahu without a doubt! I wish I could dive everyday with these guys. Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable crew, top-notch gear, a luxurious dive boat and they are on the west side where the best diving on the island is! They really go above and beyond to ensure you have an excellent experience both above and below water. Our guide, Drew, was awesome. He was extremely attentive and pointed out countless different types of marine life that most divers would pass right by without even noticing. After diving, the crew cut up a fresh pineapple and sprinkled li hing powder on it, which was a perfect post-dive snack. I will definitely be back!

Loved going snorkeling with Trident Adventures! We ended up doing a last minute upgrade from the snorkel package to the PADI Skindiver Program and it was so worth it. The main thing the upgrade got for us was the use of one of their DPVs, which is an Diver Propulsion Vehicle. Its basically an underwater scooter that you hold on to and cruise around. It was a little awkward at first, but with some tips and pointers from the instructor I was able to get the hang of it and had so much fun cruising around the reef! Apparently these things are very expensive, so it's very unique for a dive shop to have them available to non-SCUBA divers.

This is one of the most epic things I have ever done! Steve (the owner) really does an amazing job getting you ready to make the jump and making the whole experience something you will never forget! The helicopter flight was awesome and the diving was perfect. I couldn't possibly recommend anyone other than Trident Adventures for an incredible, one of a kind dive experience! Also, The dive gear they provide is top end, brand new SCUBAPRO equipement. No sketchy, under-maintained gear with these guys. It doesnt matter how deep or shallow you go, that new, quality gear makes a huge difference in comfort and safety.

I participated in the 150m. Depending on the number of participants, it takes about an hour and a half to two hours, so it's advisable to take motion sickness medication. It seemed like there were no restrooms on site, so it's better to take care of that beforehand. The parasailing experience itself is wonderful. The staff were Americans, and they were all very cheerful, which made it enjoyable.

１５０ｍに参加しました。１回の参加人数にもよるでしょうが１時間半～２時間ぐらいかかるので、船の酔い止め薬は飲んでいた方が無難です。現地にトイレがないように思いました。トイレは済ませておいた方がいいです。パラセーリング自体は素晴らしい体験です。スタッフは米国人でしたが、非常に明るい人たちばかりで楽しめました。

Thinking we might get seasick, our whole family took motion sickness medication before boarding. It was me, my husband, our fifth-grade son, and our preschool daughter.

During the trip, when the boat rocked violently, the kids sat at the front, getting splashed with water alongside a foreign family’s children, and they all enjoyed themselves, screaming with excitement.

Even though we couldn't communicate verbally, the joy was universal. While some people looked green from seasickness, our family was very satisfied as we enjoyed the blue sea, the splashes of water, and the view of Waikiki from the ocean until the very end.

Time flew by in what felt like an instant.

酔うと思い、家族全員酔い止め服用の上で乗船しました。私と夫と小5兄、年少妹の4人です。
途中激しく揺られる所は子供達は船前方の水しぶきが当たるところに外国人家族のお子さんと一緒に座り、一緒にキャーキャー声を上げて楽しんでいました。
言葉は通じなくとも楽しいことは世界共通でした。
中には船酔いでグロッキーな表情の人もいる中、私たち家族は最後まで青い海と水しぶきと海から見るワイキキの街並みを楽しむことができて大満足でした。
時間もあっという間に感じます。

This was my fourth time surfing in Hawaii. This time, I participated in this school for the first time. Previously, I had private lessons at a different school, but this time it was a group of over ten people. Although the lessons were in English, when I arrived, there was a teacher who looked like a local but spoke fluent Japanese, which was very reassuring. Before we started, they encouraged us a lot, making it easy to participate even for first-timers or those coming alone. First, we borrowed marine shoes, watched a video, and then headed to the ocean. After some training on land, we entered the water. In addition to the Japanese-speaking teacher, two other instructors joined us. Our group included participants from Japan, South Korea, Australia, and the United States, so we communicated in English. Since I had surfed a few times before, I was able to stand up from the beginning and had a lot of fun riding the waves in the beautiful, shallow sea. However, unlike private lessons, when I paddled back to the instructor, I had to wait for other students to catch their waves, which took some time before it was my turn again. I think beginners will enjoy it, but those with some experience might find it a bit lacking. That said, waiting for waves while chatting with the instructors and other students was enjoyable. I believe this is a plan that allows even first-timers to relax and have fun.

ハワイで4度目のサーフィンでした。今回始めてこちらのスクールに参加させていただきました。前回までは違うスクールで、プライベートレッスンだったのですが今回は10人以上のグループでした。英語でのレッスンとのことでしたが、到着すると見た目はバリバリ現地の方なのに、日本語がペラペラな先生がいらっしゃりとても心強かったです。始まる前にたくさん声をかけてくださり、初めてでも1人での参加でも、安心して参加できます。まずはマリンシューズを借りて、ビデオをみて、海まで向かいます。陸でのトレーニングをしてから海に入りました。日本語を話せる先生の他に2名先生が一緒に入ってくださいました。今回のグループには日本、韓国、オーストラリア、アメリカの方が一緒に参加していたので英語でのコミュニケーションでした。私は何度かサーフィンをしたことがあったので、初めから立つことができ、遠浅の綺麗な海で波乗りができとても楽しむことができました。ただ、やはりプライベートレッスンとは違いパドルで先生のところに戻っていっても他の生徒さんの波待ちの時間があり、自分の番まで回ってくるのに時間がかかります。初めての方は楽しめると思いますが、何度か経験されている方には少し物足りないかもしれません。とはいえ、和気あいあいと先生、生徒さんたちともお話をしながらの波待ちは楽しかったです。初めての方でも安心して楽しむことができるプランだと思います。

I challenged myself to a height of 120 meters. It was my first time paragliding. We were the very first to fly. I was surprised by the sudden lift since I hadn't seen the previous person's experience, but once we were up, the view of Waikiki was breathtaking! We could see Diamond Head perfectly. It seemed like my husband, who has a fear of heights, and my child, who was initially scared, both enjoyed the experience. My child said, "I want to do it again," and my husband said, "If we do it next time, let's go for 150 meters."

While others were experiencing it, there were also planes flying, making it perfect for taking photos! We had a great time asking the people we were touring with to take pictures and sharing our thoughts on whether it was scary or not.

The boat wasn't constantly moving, so I didn't experience much seasickness. However, I think motion sickness medication is essential since looking down while paragliding can make you feel queasy.

高さ120ｍに挑戦。初めてのパラセイリングでした。私たちは一番最初に飛びました。前の人の体験を見ていなかったので急な浮き上がりでびっくりしましたが、上に上がってからはワイキキの絶景！ダイヤモンドヘッドもばっちり見えました。高所恐怖症の夫や最初は怖がっていた子供も楽しく体験できたようです。子供は「またやりたい」夫は「次やるなら150ｍにしよう」と言っていました。
別な方たちが体験している際に飛行機も飛んでいたので写真を撮るにはもってこい！一緒にツアーを経験していた方たちに写真撮影を頼んだり、怖かったかどうか感想を聞くなど和気あいあいと過ごせました。
船が常に止まっているわけではなかったので、船での船酔いはあまりなかったです。パラセイリング中は下を見たりしていると酔ってしまうため、酔い止め薬は必需品だと思いました。

Easy morning trip from the centre of Waikiki, staff were excellent and made the family feel relaxed and informed.

Yes the boat is a little tired but hey we had fun as a family , felt safe and would do the trip again.

A lot of waiting around and when you get on a jet ski you cannot go fast or on your own because they want you to follow a designated course. Have been on much better!

I experienced the 150m.
This is definitely something you should try!
You'll understand once you do it. It's not that scary; it just feels great.
Even my 10-year-old daughter, who is scared, was able to do it!

During the boat ride to the spot, you might get seasick depending on the waves, so I think it's a good idea to take some motion sickness medication beforehand.

150mを体験しました。
これは是非体験すべき！
やってみたら分かります。そんなに怖さはないですよ、とにかく気持ちがいいです。
怖がりの10歳の娘にも出来ましたよー。

沖までのボート移動では波の具合により酔う事があると思うので、酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいいと思います。

Enjoyed everything we were treated fairly and felt welcome when we arrived..best deal in Honolulu if u just want to go for a short trip out along the shoreline of Waikiki and see some deep blue ocean water.. not bad for the price .

I was worried that the kids might be scared, especially my first-grade daughter, but all three of them were thrilled and said they wanted to do it again after it was over! The breeze felt nice, and it was a wonderful time for a stroll in the air.

子供達が怖がるかな？特に小学1年生の娘はどうかな？と心配していましたが、子供達３人大喜びで、終わった後またやりたい！！と言っていました。
風も気持ち良く、ステキな空中散歩の時間でした。

I experienced this on the first day, and it was absolutely amazing to see all of Hawaii!!! The vast mountains and the sparkling ocean were breathtaking, and even when we landed, we touched down on the water a little bit. I think this is an activity you should definitely try. I want to do it again!!

初日に体験しましたが、ハワイを一望してすっごい最高！！！
広大な山々とキラキラとした海が見れて降りる時も少し海に着水してもらったり、これはやった方がいいアクティビティだと思います。
またやりたい！！

I was a bit anxious since it was my first time. The instructor mentioned that the guidance would be in Japanese, but we were able to communicate well, so I was satisfied! Even as a beginner, the instructor helped me skillfully, and I was able to ride the waves in no time during the one-hour session. Falling off the board was not a problem at all. I definitely want to participate again!

初めてだったので不安もありました。インストラクターは指導単語は日本語でと言った感じでしたが、十分コミュニケーションが取れたので満足です！
初めてでもインストラクターが上手に手伝ってくれた為、波にも乗れてあっという間の１時間。ボードから落ちても問題ありません。是非また参加したい内容でした！

I participated with three friends. Everyone was nervous since it was our first time, but the staff were very friendly and made us laugh, which helped ease our tension! All three of us agreed that it was so great that we wanted to do it again! I would like to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

友人3人で参加。みんなはじめてでドキドキだったけど、スタッフの方がたくさん声をかけてくれたり笑わせてくれて緊張もほぐれました！3人とも「もう一回やりたい！」と声が揃うほど最高でした！またハワイに行くときは参加したいと思います！

The tour started at 5 PM, and there were no Japanese participants, just four groups out on the water. It might have been fine if we had gone parasailing first, but since it was last, I got seasick from the waiting time. It was quite close. However, the activities were amazing. We even saw a double rainbow.

夕方17時からのツアー、日本人はおらず4組で海にでました。最初にパラセーリングに乗れると大丈夫だったかもしれませんが、最後だったため待ち時間で船酔い。かなりギリギリでした。が、アクティビティは最高。ダブルレインボーもみれました。

I had an awesome time snorkeling and would highly recommend the tour. I am not a strong swimmer and was somewhat anxious about the experience. To calm my fears, Cheiko held my hand for the majority of the tour which allowed me to relax and to challenge myself to let go and enjoy the moment. I felt safe and was able to accomplish a personal goal, especially since I love adventure. What a thrilling ride! My nephew accompanied me who had the time of his life as well!

The activity itself was fine, but it seems that the management of the transportation is not going well. I recommend obtaining a mobile number that you can use to call on-site.

アクティビティ自体は問題ありませんが送迎のマネージメントがうまくいってないようです。　現地で電話できる携帯番号を取得しておくことをお勧めします。

I have done parasailing several times, but this was the highest in terms of altitude and airtime, allowing me to enjoy a leisurely stroll in the sky! The top of Diamond Head was almost at eye level, and I was able to enjoy a view looking down on Waikiki, so I’m glad I chose the 150m parasailing. You do get dropped into the sea quite a bit, but that was fun too. The staff spoke a bit of Japanese and had a sense of humor, which made it enjoyable. They also took plenty of photos while we were flying. However, since the boat has no roof, sun protection is essential.

パラセイリングは何度かやったことがありますが、高さ・滞空時間ともに過去最高で、ゆっくり空中散歩を楽しめました！
ダイヤモンドヘッドの頂上がほぼ目線の先にあり、ワイキキの街もかなり眼下に見下ろせる景色を味わえたので150mのパラセイリングにしてよかったと思います。
海にはガッツリ落とされますが、それも楽しかったです。スタッフさんも片言の日本語をしゃべりユーモアがあって楽しませてくれました。飛んでる間の写真もたくさん撮ってくれます。
ただ、船には屋根がないので日焼け対策は必須ですね。

After the lecture by the renowned instructor Mieko, I thought I had grasped the tips and headed out to the sea, underestimating how easy stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) would be. Despite the conditions being rated a 9 out of 10 with calm waves, I struggled to stand and balance at first, falling into the water multiple times and realizing how challenging it was. However, the sea was beautiful, and I felt happy to experience my first SUP in such a scenic setting, especially since participants the day before had faced high waves in the river. ✨ Although I applied sunscreen diligently, the strong sun still led to some sunburn.

After paddling mostly while sitting, I finally reached an uninhabited island where Mieko kindly explained the island's scenery and wildlife, took great photos at nice spots, and we enjoyed some conversation.

On the way back, I felt a bit more accustomed to it, and with the flow of the waves, the board moved smoothly. Thanks to Mieko's precise advice, I was able to stand and balance for longer, and it felt like I quickly returned to the beach. I wished I could have stayed out longer! I'm glad that with Mieko's guidance, I was able to stand and maneuver the board!

The recommended pizza lunch after all that effort was exceptionally delicious!

名物インストラクターミエコさんの講義の後コツは掴んだつもりで海に出て、サップは簡単にできるものだと舐めて掛かっていたんですが、当日波が穏やかで10段階中9評価のいいコンディションとのことだったのに最初は全然立ってバランスが取れず何度も海に落ちてその難しさを実感しました。ただ、海は綺麗だし前日参加の人は波が高く川でやったとのことだったのでその景色とコンディションの中初サップができることに幸せを感じました✨ただ日射しはとても強かったのでしっかり日焼け止めを塗っていたけど日焼けは避けられませんでした

ほぼ座り漕ぎでようやく辿り着いた無人島ではミエコさんが丁寧に島の景観や生物について説明してくれたりいいスポットで写真を撮ってくれたり会話も楽しめました。

帰りは少し慣れたことと波の流れもあってボードはスムーズに進み、ミエコさんの的確なアドバイスで立ってバランスが取れる時間も長くなってあっと言う間にビーチに戻れた感覚でもっと長く乗っていたかったと思いました。
今回ミエコさんに指導して頂いたお陰で立って操作できるまでになれたのでよかったです！

頑張った後のオススメピザランチは格別に美味しかったです！

We traveled to the parasailing location by a small boat. During the ride, the cheerful instructor kept the atmosphere lively and played music, which made it a lot of fun! After moving over the bright blue sea for a while, we took off, and the view of Oahu from the sky was truly breathtaking—a rare sight that can only be seen here. Each group had about 5 minutes, and when we participated, there were four other groups, so there was a bit of a wait. Since the boat kept moving while we waited, those who are prone to motion sickness might want to have some motion sickness medication. Lastly, it was great that we could purchase photos taken by the instructor with a camera on an SD card (it cost an additional $30, but I bought it). I would definitely like to request this again when I visit Hawaii!

パラセーリングをする場所まで小型の船で移動しました。その間も陽気なインストラクターの方が盛り上げてくれたり音楽を流してくれたりでとても楽しかったです！真っ青な海の上をしばらく移動した後に飛んだのですが、空から見るオアフ島は本当に絶景で、ここでしか見られない貴重な景色でした。大体1組5分程度で、私たちが参加した時には他に4組の方々がいらっしゃったので少し待ち時間はありました。待っている間もずっと船が動いているので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めがあった方がいいかもしれません。最後にインストラクターの方がカメラで撮ってくれた写真をSDで購入できたのも良かったです（別途30ドルかかりましたが購入しました）またハワイを訪れた際には是非ここでお願いしたいです。

Lots of fun and relaxation on a short 1.5 hour afternoon cruise.

Saw hummingbird fish and turtles. Got splashed by the waves and enjoyed our time out on the water

Seeing Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from the sky over the ocean is amazing. The last jabon was only a little wet. You might feel a bit seasick.

海の上で空から見るダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキビーチは最高です。最後のジャボンも少し濡れる程度でした。ちょっと船酔いはするかも。

I went kayaking. It's hot, really hot. I need to take precautions against sunburn. But since I'm in Hawaii, I feel like that's okay.

カヤックした。暑いとにかく暑い。日焼けするので対策を万全にしないと。だけどハワイに来たんだからそれもいいじゃないと思わせてくれます。
