All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

Everything went smoothly from the pickup time to arrival. Renting a bicycle for $10 was a great decision. We quickly got takeout from Kimo's Pancakes. We shared it and ended up very full. The staff were kind, and we had a wonderful time at Kailua Beach. For lunch, we had plates at the hotel.

迎えの時間から到着まで順調にいき
自転車を＄１０で借り正解です。
キモズ　パンケーキも時間かからずテイクアウト
できました。二人でシェアして食べましたがお腹いっぱいになりました。
スタッフの方々も親切で
とても充実したカイルアビーチを過ごせました。
ランチはプレイトにしてホテルで食べました。

I had wanted to try SUP for a long time, so my husband and I participated together. I was a bit anxious because we hardly exercise and I was worried about whether I could keep up with the instructor, Emiko, based on the reviews I read.

On the day of the event, it was quite windy, and we paddled while sitting to a nearby island, which took about 40 minutes. On the way back, I was able to stand on the board. I fell into the sea several times, but in the end, I managed to stand on the board and ride the waves all the way to the sandy beach.

In the end!! I was tired, but it was incredibly fun.

There were three participants that day, and two instructors accompanied us.
- The veteran instructor, Emiko, taught us strictly yet kindly. She had a big sister vibe that made her easy to approach, and I really liked her.
- Tomoki was super handsome and kind, and when I had trouble on the water, he gave me precise advice.

I thought I wouldn't be able to stand on the board, but by following their advice, I was able to do it in the end. I felt a sense of accomplishment that I hadn't felt in a while, and it was amazing.

During the free time in the morning, I rented a bike and took out pancakes from Boots & Kimo's to enjoy at Lanikai Beach. Cycling was also fun.

以前からSUPをしてみたくて夫婦で参加しました。
普段ほとんど運動をしていないことに加え、こちらの口コミからエミコさんというインストラクターさんについていけるか、叱られるんじゃないかと不安もありました。。。
当日は風が強く、近くの島まで座って漕ぎました。40分ほどかかりました。
帰りはボードの上に立つことが出来ました。何度も海に落ちましたが、最後はボードの上に立って波に乗りながら砂浜までたどり着くことができました。
結果！！疲れたけど、すごくすごく楽しかったです。

当日の参加者は三名で、インストラクターは二人ついて下さいました。
・ベテランインストラクターのエミコさんは厳しく&やさしく教えてくれました。姉御という感じで接しやすく大好きになりました。
・ともきさんはめちゃくちゃイケメンで、優しくて、海の上で困ったときも的確なアドレスをくれました。

ボードの上で立てないかと思いましたが、二人のアドバイスに従って最後には立つことが出来ました。
久々に達成感が得られ、最高に気持ちよかったです。

午前中の自由時間で自転車をかりてブーツアンドキモズでパンケーキをテイクアウトラニカイビーチにいきました。サイクリングも楽しかったです。

I challenged myself to 150 meters. It was higher than I imagined, and I was scared at first, but once I got used to it, it felt great. I'm glad I decided to go for the full 150 meters instead of a half-hearted height. The staff were friendly and took lots of photos for a fee. The final splash of water was surprisingly fun.

150mに挑戦。想像以上に高く、始めは怖かったけど慣れると気持ちいい。
中途半端な高さにするのではなく150mにチャレンジしてよかった。
スタッフの方のノリも良く、有料だが写真をいっぱいとってくれた。最後にお約束のお水ジャブンが意外と楽しい。

Despite being warned multiple times, we mistakenly went to the wrong meeting place, but they were very kind to us. (The Hilton Hawaiian Village is really something to watch out for. The Grand Islander and Grand Waikikian can be confusing.)
Our guide, Chieko, was Japanese and very kind and attentive. Unlike a previous snorkeling tour where I had a foreign guide and struggled to communicate, which made me feel scared when I cramped up, we were able to enjoy ourselves as a couple this time.
It's also great that we could take photos with a GoPro and receive them later. I brought an underwater camera, but I was so focused on swimming that I couldn't take good pictures, so this truly became a lifelong memory. Thank you very much.

散々注意されていたにも関わらず集合場所を間違えた私たちに大変親切に対応していただきました。(ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジは本当に要注意。グランドアイランダーとグランドワイキキアンが紛らわしい。）
ガイドのチエコさんは日本人でとても親切丁寧な方で、以前どこかのシュノーケルツアーで外国人ガイドで言葉があまり通じず、足がつったりしても伝えられず怖い思いをしたようなことは全然なく、夫婦で楽しむことができました。
ゴープロで写真を撮ってあとでいただけるのもありがたいですね、水中カメラを持参したのですが、泳ぐのに必死でうまく撮れなかったので、本当に一生の記念、です。ありがとうございました。

The pickup took quite a while. We waited for 40 minutes, and to be honest, we were worried if it would even come. We only caught one fish, and the fishing gear was quite old, with squid being the only bait available. There were about three people on the same tour with us. There was no instruction on how to fish, so I guess only experienced people could catch anything? But I can only say that the crew's cheerfulness and the location were absolutely fantastic!

送迎はかなり待ちます。
私達は40分待ち、正直来るのか不安でした。
釣果は1匹、、釣り具も年季もの、エサはイカのみです。
同じツアーで連れていたのは3人くらい？でしょうか。
釣り方もレクチャーはないので経験豊かな人しか釣れないのかな？
でもクルーの陽気さとロケーションは最高としか言えません！

I participated first thing in the morning, so the ending time was also in the morning. It was great that there was no wasted time. I've done parasailing a few times, so I chose a height of 150 meters. It was really pleasant and the best experience. It was still a bit chilly in the morning, so after getting splashed in the sea, I felt a little cold. The foreign girl whose birthday it was that day was getting dunked in the water as a special treat, so by the time she returned to the boat, she was shivering (laughs). That must have become a good memory for her too (*^_^*). I’ve definitely decided to participate again next time!

朝一番に参加したので、終了時間も朝^^
時間に無駄がなくてすごく良かったです。
パラセーリングは何度かやっているので、高さは150メートルにしました。
本当に気持ちよくて最高でした。
朝はまだ少し肌寒かったので、海ポチャされた後はちょっと寒かったです。
その日が誕生日だった外国人の女の子は、大サービスで海に沈みまくられていたので、船に戻ったときには震えていました（笑）
それもいい思い出になったことでしょう(*^_^*)
次回もまた参加決定です！！

We participated as a family, and the staff was cheerful and friendly, which was great. If there's an opportunity, we would like to participate again. Our 3-year-old child was also able to join and was very happy.

家族で参加しましたが、スタッフも陽気で親切で、とて良かったです。
機会があればまた参加したいです。
3才の子供も参加出来てとても喜んでました。

I had an absolutely amazing time!!! The boat was smaller than I expected, and there were just four groups of Japanese people, which was just right! The waves and wind were thrilling! If you're even a little worried about seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must to enjoy the experience! The staff was really entertaining!

I was nervous before taking off, but once we were in the air, it was so much fun, and the view of the blue ocean, Diamond Head, and Waikiki was incredible!!! I put my smartphone in a waterproof case and hung it around my neck, and I was able to take photos while flying!

When you drop into the water, they probably adjust based on the people. You can purchase the SD card with the photos taken. I paid $30 in cash. This experience was truly the best! I highly recommend it!!!

めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！！！
船は思ってたより小さくて、日本人ばかりの四組でしたが丁度いいくらい！波も風も迫力ありで味わえます！船酔いが少しでも心配な人は楽しむために酔い止めは必須！
スタッフの盛り上げがとてもおもしろい！
飛ぶまでがドキドキでしたが、いざ飛んでみたらめちゃくちゃ楽しくて、青い海とダイヤモンドヘッドにワイキキの景色が最高！！！
スマホを防水ケースに入れて首にかけてましたが、飛んでる間も撮影できました！
海にポチャンはたぶん人をみてして加減してくれます。
写真撮影をしてくれたSDカードが購入できます。30ドルで私はドルで支払いました。
この経験は本当に最高！
ぜひおススメです！！！

I've used this several times!
It's a parasailing tour with some really funky boat captains!
On my last day in Hawaii, I always look down at the city of Waikiki from the sky here and think, "I want to come back next time!"

何度か利用しています！
とてもファンキーな船頭さんたちがいるパラセーリングツアー！
ハワイの最終日は、いつもここで、空からワイキキの街を眺めて、また次回も来よう！と思ってます！

It was my first time surfing, and I was worried about participating alone, especially since I'm not very good at English, but I had a great time. The instructor provided careful guidance in simple English and broken Japanese, and I was able to stand on the board from the very first time. Thank you very much.

サーフィンは初めてなうえ、ひとりでの参加、しかも英語はそんなに得意ではないので参加するまでは心配でしたが、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
インストラクターは簡単な英語とカタコトの日本語で丁寧に指導してくださり、一回目からボードの上に立つことが出来ました。
ありがとうございました。

I participated with my 7-year-old daughter.
It was her first time paragliding.
Since she loves roller coasters, I thought she would enjoy it, so we chose the 120-meter option.

When we took off, she seemed scared and cried! (laughs)
But as she got used to it, she started to enjoy it, albeit nervously. (^_^)

We hadn't planned to buy photos, but we decided to purchase them as a keepsake.
They are provided on an SD card.

7歳の娘と二人で参加しました。
娘は初めてのパラセイリングでした。
ジェットコースター好きなので、喜ぶと思い120メートルを選びました。

いざ、飛び？出すと怖かったようで、泣きました！笑
だんだんなれてくると、ビビりながらも楽しんでました(^_^)

写真は購入予定ではなかったですが、記念にと購入しました。
SDカードで渡されます。

I was very satisfied with the tour content and the guide's response! It's just a shame about the weather and the strong waves. I would like to participate again next time.

ツアー内容、ガイドさんの対応等は大変満足でした！
ただお天気と波が強くて残念。
また次の機会に参加したいです。

Despite the voucher confirming a pickup at 7:25 AM in front of the hotel, I received a phone call in English just before leaving my room on the morning of the event, stating, "The pickup has been canceled, so you need to get a taxi on your own and come to the meeting point." I also had to cover the taxi fare. The sudden change communicated in English caused me to panic, and with an unstable Wi-Fi connection and no Uber account, I struggled to communicate the meeting location clearly to the taxi driver I managed to flag down in front of the hotel. I got lost in the harbor as well, and the taxi fare ended up being over $20. I felt deceived. The catch was decent, but the fishing gear was quite old and in poor condition, though I was glad to catch something. If it weren't for the last-minute change in transportation, I would have been nearly completely satisfied. I was really disappointed by the abrupt change. I recommend being prepared for self-arrival in case of transportation changes (confirming the meeting location clearly, having taxi fare, and having the Uber app ready) instead of relying solely on the provided transportation.

予約確定後のバウチャーに｢滞在ホテル前で7時25分にピックアップ」と記載されていたにも関わらず、当日の朝、部屋を出る直前に、ホテルの部屋電話に、「ピックアップは無くなったから、自力でタクシーを拾って、集合場所まで来て」という英語での電話を受けた。タクシー代もこちらもち。いきなりの英語での電話による変更で、パニクる上、wifi状態も不安定で、Uberも未登録だったため、ホテル前で待機のタクシーを拾って、その運転手に、集合場所を明確に知らせるのに、とても苦労した。ハーバー内でも、迷って、タクシー代金も20ドル以上した。騙された気分。釣果はまあまあ。釣具はかなりの年季物で傷みがひどいが、釣れたから良し。送迎間際の送迎変更さえなければ、ほぼ大満足。出鼻を挫かれ、ホントにガッカリ。送迎があると安心せず、自力で集合する場合の備え(明確な集合位置確認、タクシー代、Uberアプリ等)をお薦めする。

I visited Hawaii for my wedding and honeymoon. The day before going to Hawaii, I suddenly decided I wanted to participate in this activity, so I thought it would be quicker to check for availability with someone local. As soon as I arrived in Hawaii, I visited the Beltora store there and made a reservation. The staff spoke Japanese, which made the reservation and payment process smooth. The activity itself was a lot of fun! My wife, who usually isn't comfortable with heights, seemed fine even at 150 meters and really enjoyed it.

It seemed that the staff wouldn't take photos unless you asked them. When we went out on the boat and I mentioned it while the other guests were flying, they took out a camera and started taking pictures. In the end, they took about 70 or 80 photos. When we got back, I checked the data on the camera and received it on an SD card. By the way, it cost $30. I'm very satisfied as we made some wonderful memories.

ハワイには挙式とハネムーンで訪問しました。
ハワイに行く前日にこのアクティビティに参加したいと急遽思い立ち、空きの確認等現地の方が早いかなと思って、ハワイに到着してすぐにベルトラさんのハワイの店舗に訪問し予約しました。
対応スタッフの方は日本語も対応していてスムーズに予約と支払い完了。アクティビティ自体もとても楽しかったです(^-^)嫁も高い所は苦手だったけど150mでも大丈夫そうでとても楽しんでいました。
写真の撮影はスタッフに言っておかないとしてくれない様子でした。ボートで沖に出て、他のお客さん飛ばしてる時に言ったら、カメラ取り出して撮り始めてくれました。結果7,80枚くらい写真撮ってくれました。帰ったら一応カメラで中のデータ確認してSDカードで貰いました。ちなみに30ドルでした。とても良い思い出ができて満足です。

Schedule: 2019-07-03 / Number of people: 2 (newlyweds)
【Positive Points】
- The guidance from the Japanese staff is very attentive.
- The distance from the base (Kailua Beach Center) to Kailua Beach is short, making it convenient.
- Bicycle rentals are available ($10 per person).
- For lunch, you can choose between a lunch plate shop and a pizza place (Bob's Pizzeria). The pizza is highly recommended.
【Negative Points】
- Tips are not included in the tour price, so you need to pay tips separately.
【Other】
- Lanikai Beach is about a 20-minute bike ride away, but it's worth visiting.
- Be careful as time flies by quickly! (I couldn't go to downtown Kailua...)
- The bike I rented was a fixed gear, so those who are not used to riding should be cautious. (I wasn't used to it and fell while trying to brake suddenly, and since I was in a swimsuit, I ended up with serious injuries.)

日程:2019-07-03/人数:2名(新婚)/
【良かった点】
・日本人スタッフによる案内が手厚い。
・拠点(カイルアビーチセンター)からカイルアビーチまでの距離が近いため便利。
・レンタサイクルあり(1人10ドル)
・昼食はランチプレート屋とピザ屋(Bob's Pizzeria)が任意で選べる。おすすめはピザ。
【悪かった点】
・ツアー代金にチップが含まれていないため、別途チップを支払う必要あり。
【その他】
・ラニカイビーチまでは自転車で約20分の距離だが、訪れる価値がある。
・あっという間に時間が過ぎてしまうため注意！(カイルアの街中に行けなかった…)
・レンタサイクルで借りた自転車が固定ギアのため運転に慣れていない人は注意してほしい。(私は慣れてなく、急ブレーキで転倒してしまい、水着姿だったため、重傷を負ってしまった)

The pickup was 10 minutes late, which was expected. Be careful of seasickness on the small boat from near the Hilton to the sea. You can take selfies with your camera, but if you ask for help, it will be charged. The scenery is amazing, but my wife was feeling groggy from seasickness.

ピックアップ１０分遅れ、まぁ想定内。ヒルトン近くから小型船て海へ船酔いするので注意。カメラ持参で自分撮りは可、頼んだら有料。景色は最高、妻は船酔いでグロッキー。

I enjoyed a calm tour with no waves. In the morning, I fully enjoyed kayaking, had a big pizza, and in the afternoon, I rented a bicycle and headed to a beach where I could enjoy snorkeling. It was a fulfilling day.

波の無い穏やかなツアーを楽しめました。
午前中はカヤックを目一杯楽しみ ビッグなピザを食べ 午後からは 自転車を借り シュノーケルが楽しめるビーチにと 充実した1日になります。

I was worried because there were only foreign customers, but it was totally fine. I had signed up for the 150m jump, so I was a bit anxious about it, but once I actually jumped, it was absolutely amazing.

外国人のお客さんばかりで心配してましたが、全然大丈夫でした。150mに申し込みしてたので内心、大丈夫かなって思っていましたが、いざ飛んでみるとめっちゃ、最高でした。

I experienced the 150m activity. As the title suggests, the activity was very enjoyable. The staff primarily spoke English, but they were very kind and used Japanese when speaking to us.

As for the activity itself, a point to note is that the boat rocked quite a bit, and more than half of the other people on board got seasick, so it's better for those who are prone to motion sickness to take medication beforehand.

The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that the pickup bus was about 15 minutes late. While it seems understandable due to the arrangements for other guests, I had seen stories in experiences where the pickup didn’t show up, which made me quite anxious. However, the driver was friendly, and my overall impression was very good.

150mを体験しました
タイトル通りアクティビティはとても楽しかったです
スタッフの方は基本的に英語ですが自分たちに話しかけるときは日本語を使って下さったりとても親切でした
アクティビティ自体の注意点としては船の揺れが結構激しく乗っていた他の人達が半分以上酔っていたので弱い人は酔止めを飲んで行ったほうがいいです
星を一個下げた理由ですが迎えのバスが15分程遅れて来たことで下げました
他の方の送迎の関係もあり仕方ない気もしますが、体験談で迎えに来なかったという話も見ていましたのでかなり不安になりました
ですが運転手さんも気さくな方で印象はとても良かったです

It was a challenge for a couple celebrating their 60th birthday and their three sons in their 20s. After discussing which height to choose, we decided on the middle option, and the elderly couple felt a bit worried.

The moment we took off, the beautiful sea and blue sky spread out before us, and when we reached the peak, the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head was stunning, making it an unforgettable experience.

Yano, our driver, shared interesting stories that helped ease our nerves. Thank you!

還暦を迎えた夫婦と20代の息子三人での挑戦でした。高さをどれにするか？相談の結果真ん中になり、老夫婦は少し心配でした。
舞い上がった瞬間とても綺麗な海と青空が広がり頂点に達した時は、ワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドがとても綺麗で忘れられない体験となりました。
送迎の矢野さんの話もおもしろく和ませて頂きました。ありがとう

Excellent personal
Being picked up and transported was great
The whole experience was great.

Unfortunately, we didn't catch anything, but the local captain was full of humor, making it a fun memory. There were no safety issues either.

あいにく何も釣れませんでしたが、
現地人の船長がユーモアたっぷりで
楽しい思い出になりました。
安全性も問題ありませんでした。

We had 6 people in our party and we had a blast! We caught 2 awesome waves and even saw a turtle swimming with us!! The crew were both very friendly and made this a memory to last forever!

I was worried about the language barrier, but there were no problems at all. The explanations before the flight were easy to understand, and I had a great time! I also took a lot of photos, so it was enjoyable even after returning home. Thank you very much!

言葉の心配ありましたが全く問題なく、飛ぶ前の説明もわかりやすて凄く楽しめました！写真も沢山撮って頂いてたので帰ってからも2度美味しい。ありがとうございました

July 1, 2019 - Raymond was the best guide ever! He's very chill and easy to communicate with. He was very accommodating! we choose the later tour which I expected it to be much worse than the earlier scheduled tour, however we ended up being extremely lucky and it ended up being just me and my girlfriend. We had our own private tour with the best guide they had to offer! I would recommend this trip to everyone, very family friendly but also a nice thing to do for couples. My girlfriend really wanted to see some Green sea turtles and Raymond was able to make it happen! Once he spotted one, he immediately alerted us to come view the turtles. Definitely something to put in your books if you plan on heading down to Oahu. One thing to keep in mind is ALWAYS WEAR SUNSCREEN...ITS ALWAYS worth it.

Personnel were friendly and helpful. Truly enjoyed interacting with them. They made the experience feel safe, and yet exciting. Our group ranged from eleven to sixty-two and everyone had a wonderful time. Thanks so much!

We participated as a family of three, including my 5-year-old daughter who is 105 cm tall and weighs 15 kg. We chose the highest ride available.

My daughter tends to be a bit afraid of heights; she wanted to ride the Ferris wheel but was nervous and needed to be carried. She also gets scared when she sees the ground while going down the stairs, so I was worried she might cry during the ride, but she was fine.

She had a serious expression the whole time we were flying, but after we got off, she said, "Let's go again!" so it seems she enjoyed it. The boat ride felt like a roller coaster, and she had fun with that too. Normally, she doesn't get car sick, but she did feel nauseous on the plane, so we quickly bought some motion sickness medicine at ABC Store before going.

Overall, it felt like an extremely scenic swing. I think anyone who can handle the swinging rides at amusement parks will be fine!

5歳105cm15kgの娘を含む親子3人で参加しました。高度は一番高いものを選びました。

娘は高所恐怖症気味で、観覧車は乗りたがるけどダッコちゃんだったり、階段も降りるときに階下が見えると怖がったりと、そろそも泣かずに乗ってくれるか不安でしたが大丈夫でした。
飛んでいる最中は終始真顔でしたが、降りたあと「もう一回！」と言ってたので楽しかったようです。
ボートでの移動もジェットコースターみたいで楽しんでいました。普段、車酔いなどはしませんが飛行機で酔ってしまったので、急遽ABCストアで購入した酔い止め飲んでいきました。

感覚としては、超・景色のよいブランコという感じでした。遊園地の吊り下げブランコ風のアトラクションが乗れる方は大丈夫だと思います！

The navigation of the boat on the way there and back is spectacular, and I think it's more interesting as an attraction. Other than when you're flying, it's a battle against seasickness, so good luck!

行き帰りの船の操縦が豪快で、こっちの方がアトラクションとして面白いと思います。
飛んでる間以外は船酔いとの戦いです、頑張って下さい。

If you're not good with heights, it might be a bit challenging (I'm not good with them either), but the view was amazing. After it was over, I was a bit startled when there was no car to pick me up, but it seemed like it was just delayed a little because they were dropping off the next group of participants.

高いところが苦手な人はちょっと難しいかもしれませんが、（私も苦手です。）景色が最高でした。
終わってから迎えの車が無くて少しドキッとしましたが、次の時間の参加者を送ってくる関係で少し遅れただけのようでした。

We participated as a couple. Thanks to Chieko and Dan, we had a wonderful time. Swimming over the coral reef, there were fish right in front of us, and it felt like we were swimming together. The explanation for snorkeling was easy to understand, so we could swim with peace of mind. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any sea turtles, but we were pleasantly surprised to meet two seals. Thank you very much.

夫婦で参加しました。チエコさんとダンさんのおかげで、とっても楽しく過ごせました。サンゴ礁の上を泳ぐと魚が目の前にいて、一緒に泳いでいる気分です。シュノーケルの説明も分かりやすく安心して泳げました。残念ながらウミガメには会えませんでしたが、2頭のアザラシに会えて嬉しいびっくりでした。ありがとうございました。
