All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

We challenged ourselves with a group of nine at 150 meters. There was a bit of wind, so the boat swayed a little on the way to the site, but there were no particular issues. Two staff members helped to create a lively atmosphere, and we had a great time.

Regarding the height, it’s not like you’re suddenly thrown up to that height; the gradual ascent was not scary at all, even for someone like me who has a fear of heights. The feeling of being up in the air was wonderful. I would love to experience this again on my next trip to Hawaii.

I highly recommend this tour.

総勢９名で１５０Mに挑戦しました。
やや風があったので、現場に到着するまでの道中、少しボートが揺れましたが、特に問題はありませんでした。スタッフの方２名が盛り上げてくれて、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
高さについては、急にその高さに放り出される訳ではありませんし、徐々に上がっていく過程は高所恐怖症の私でも何の怖さも感じませんでした。上空での心地よさは素晴らしいものでした。次回のハワイでもまた体験したいです。
お勧めのツアーです。

I was a bit anxious about my first optional tour abroad (parasailing), but everything went smoothly and it was fun! I was also worried about seasickness, but I was fine! It might have been because the waves weren't too rough, but in any case, I was satisfied.

初めての海外でのオプショナルツアー（パラセーリング）で少し不安でしたが全てスムーズで楽しかったです！
それと船酔いも心配しましたが大丈夫でした！
これはあまり波が立ってなかったのが良かったかもですが、何はともあれ満足出来ました。

Liz was great. She and the other staff were super friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and helpful. She gave us a couple of nice dives....we didn't have to do a thing, the crew took care of all the hard work of loading tanks and equipment, so just got to have fun. 10 out 10 would do again!

We participated as a family of four. The weather was great, and we enjoyed the stunning views of Waikiki. The tour was organized into six pairs, but we hardly noticed any waiting time.

家族4人で参加。天候もよく、ワイキキの絶景を楽しめた。2人ずつ、6組でのツアーとなったが、待ち時間等はほとんど気になることはなかった。

とても興奮していて、ガイドが英語を話すネイティブスピーカーだったので安心しました。友達と一緒に忘れられない体験ができました。ありがとう！

It was SO excited and relieved even the guide was native speakers by speaking English. I got one of an unforgettable experience with friends of mine. Thanks s lot!

First, the leader asked, "Do you have stamina? Do you have spirit?" and taught us that SUP is not an elegant activity. I listened seriously and committed myself to it! Along the way, I received advice from the assistant, and although I mostly paddled while sitting, it seems I reached the island faster than I expected.

On the island, I was able to enjoy a view that only those who worked hard could see, which was amazing! On the way back, I got a bit more accustomed and was able to paddle almost standing up. My dream came true, and I was really happy.

I participated in SUP hands-free, but the leader, Mieko, took a lot of photos and sent them to my smartphone right after we returned to the shop. They were very beautiful pictures and became great memories.

リーダーから まず 「体力はある？ 気合いもある？」と SUPが優雅なものでは無いことを教えてもらい 真剣に話を聞いて 取り組みました！
途中 アシスタントから アドバイスもあって 立ってみたりでもほぼ座って漕いでましたが、思っていたより 早く島へたどり着けたようです。
島では 頑張った人だけが見ることのできる景色を楽しめて最高でした！
帰りはちょっと 慣れてきて ほぼ立って漕ぐことができて 夢が叶い ほんとに嬉しかったです。
SUPには 手ぶらで参加しますが 、リーダーのみえこさんが たくさん写真を撮ってくれて ショップへ帰ってから すぐにスマホに送ってくれました、 とても きれいな写真で いい思い出になりました。

For the past few decades, I have stayed at Sheraton Waikiki every year, and I finally decided to participate this year, which I had been curious about for a long time. I regret not joining sooner and want to participate every time I visit from now on. First of all, the captain was handsome, cheerful, and fun. It was great to be able to drink alcohol, and I enjoyed the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. Most of all, I was thrilled to see wild dolphins and turtles. It was a lot of fun.

ここ数十年、毎年シェラトンワイキキに宿泊してますが、毎回気になってたので今年思い切って参加してみました、もっと早く参加すればよかったと後悔しました、これからは行くたびに参加したいです。まずはキャプテンがイケメンで陽気で楽しかった、お酒が飲めてよかった、海からのワイキキの景色やダイヤモンドヘッドが見れてよかった、何より野生のイルカちゃんとカメちゃんに会えた事です、楽しかった。

This time in Hawaii, I had a 4-night, 6-day plan on Oahu. On the last day, my wife went shopping while I joined a fishing trip alone. The shuttle bus picked me up alone and arrived at the boarding area about five minutes late. Once on board, there were already about 20 guests settled in various spots. I was the only Japanese person, and the rest seemed to be local Hawaiians and Americans. Everyone, including the crew, was cheerful, and they handed me a paper cup saying, "Hey! This is a snack!" Upon closer inspection, I saw that it contained large pieces of squid cut into rings for bait. While fishing with a view of Diamond Head, I suddenly felt a big tug. Everyone exclaimed, "Oh!" The cheerful American, without me asking, grabbed the fish and removed the hook. He posed for a photo looking quite satisfied as if he had caught it himself. For someone like me who often goes fishing in Japan, it felt a bit intrusive.

Still, both the guests and the crew were very friendly, and I had a great time chatting about fishing with those around me. One slightly disappointing thing was that although it was supposed to include "shuttle service," no one came to pick me up for the return trip, so I had to make my own way back to the hotel. (That wouldn't happen in Japan.)

今回のハワイは、オアフ島に4泊6日の予定で、最後の日、ワイフはショッピング、私は一人で釣りに参加した。迎えのバスは私１人で、５分ほど遅れて乗船場に着いた。乗り込むと、既に２０人ほどの客が思い思いの場所を陣取っていた。日本人は私一人だけで、現地のハワイアンとアメリカンの様でした。クルーを含めてみんな陽気な人たちばかりでヘイ―！これスナックだ！と紙コップを渡してくれた。よく見るとその中にはイカを輪切りにした大きな餌が入っていた。ダイアモンドヘッドを見ながら釣りをしていたら突然大きな手ごたえがあった。みんなオーと歓声が上がった。陽気なアメリカンは頼みもしないのに、魚をつかみ針を外してくれた。いかにも自分が釣り上げたかのように満足そうに写真に納まっていた。日本では、よく釣りに行く私にとって、ちょっとおせっかいだな～。
それでも、客もクルーもとても気さくで、周りの人たちと、釣りの話で盛り上がり、とても楽しかった。ちょっと残念なことは〝送迎付き”のはずなのに
帰りは迎えが来ず、自分でホテルに帰った。（日本ではありえないよ）

The weather was nice and it felt really good! I thought I would like to do it again. I recommend this place! I’m not good with heights, but once I went up, it was comfortable and the view was amazing!

天気も良くすごく気持ちよかった！
またやりたいと思いました
ここはオススメですよ！
高所が苦手でしたがいざ上がって見れば快適で景色も最高だったよ

Parasailing was amazing. There was someone who was afraid of heights, and at first, they were nervous, but after we started, they said it was fun as long as they didn't look down.

パラセーリング最高でした。高所恐怖症の人間がいて、最初はびびっていましたが、わったあとは下を見なければ楽しいとの感想でした。

Thank you for explaining things clearly. It was my first time, and I was happy to be able to stand! I would like to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

分かりやすく教えて頂き、
初めてでしたが、
立つことができて嬉しかったです！
またハワイに行ったときは参加したいです！

I was glad to see sea turtles swimming from above.

One concern I had was that it was my fault for not reading the instructions properly, but I found out after making the reservation that you can't ride alone unless you weigh over 80 kilograms.

On the day of the event, there was an American participant who also tried to ride alone but was made to ride with someone else. One man looked quite large and seemed to weigh over 80 kilograms...

It's unclear whether they were flying for two people's time.

上空から、海ガメが泳いでいるのが見えてよかったです。


気になる点は、
ちゃんと説明を読まなかったのが悪いのですが、予約した後に80キロ以上ないと一人で乗る事ができない事がわかりました。

当日参加したアメリカ人？の方も、一人で乗ろうとしましたが、二人乗りにさせられてました。１人の男性は、体が大きく80キロ以上あるように見えましたが・・

２人分の時間を飛んでくれていたのか不明。

I booked the Kailua Beach tour again this year. Last year, I signed up for stand-up paddleboarding, but this year we decided to relax on the beach, so we opted for the beach items and lunch package. We rented bikes on-site and first cycled to Lanikai Beach; the view from the high point was amazing, and the breeze felt great. After that, we relaxed at Kailua Beach until lunchtime! For lunch, we had pizza recommended by the local staff! The size was surprising. The taste was quite good too! After lunch, we cycled towards the town. Last year, we got pancakes to-go from Boots & Kimo's (takeout is quick and recommended by the local staff), but this year we ate crepes at Crepes No Ka Oi next door. The crepes here were also quite filling. Kailua is a very pleasant town to bike through.

昨年に引き続きカイルア・ビーチツアーを申し込みました。昨年はスタンドアップパドルを申し込みましたが、今年はビーチでゆっくりしようということになりビーチアイテム＆ランチ付きにしました。現地で追加で自転車を借り、まずはラニカイ・ビーチまでサイクリング、高台からの景色は最高で、風も気持ち良かったです。その後、カイルア・ビーチでお昼までゆっくり！！お昼は現地スタッフおすすめのピザを！！大きさにびっくりします。味もなかなか！！昼食後は、街に向けてサイクリング、昨年はブーツ＆キモズでパンケーキをテイクアウト（テイクアウトは時間がかからず、現地スタッフおすすめ）しましたが、今年はその横のクレープ・ノ・カ・オイでクレープを食べてきました。ここのクレープもなかなかボリュームありました。カイルアは、自転車で走るととても気持ちの良い街です。

Make this a priority. It was the highlight of our trip. Everyone should do this. Young or old!

This was my first time surfing, and I was worried about whether I could do it, but there were about 20 people in the group with around 5 instructors who helped push us when the waves came. They also gave us signals like, "Come on, come on! Stand up!" By the third try, I started to get the hang of it and was able to ride the waves! The instructors were all friendly, and some of them spoke Japanese, which made me feel at ease. I definitely want to do this again next year! ☆

今回、初サーフィンとのことで、乗れるか心配でしたが、20人前後のグループにインストラクターが5人程付いて、波が来たタイミングで押してくれます。あとは、「コイデコイデー！セイザー！タッテー！」と合図をくれるので、3回目くらいにはコツが掴めて来て、波に乗れるようになります！スクールのインストラクターの方も皆さんフランクで、日本語を話せる方もいたので、安心してできました。来年も絶対やりたいです☆

I booked the 150m option, and I definitely recommend the 150m! The weather and wind were great, and I flew high with an amazing view of Waikiki. Make sure to apply sunscreen properly, or you'll get really sunburned.

150mで予約しましたが、絶対150mがオススメです！
天気も風もとても良くて高く飛んでワイキキの景色もすごく綺麗でした。
日焼け止めをしっかり塗って行かないとすごく焼けます。

Great ride and awesome adventure. Very great day to see the coast and loved the ride.

While I was at the sandy boarding area, a staff member approached me. I got a little wet while boarding, but it was comfortable on the boat. We were the only Asians among the passengers. Although they only spoke English, it wasn't a problem. I was able to encounter dolphins and whales, and I was very satisfied.

乗合場所の砂浜にいたら、係の方から、お声掛けされました。乗り込む時、少し濡れましたが、船の上は快適でした。利用者でアジア人は私達だけでした。英語のみですが不自由はありませんでした。イルカやクジラにも遭遇する事が出来、満足です。

About 5-6 years ago, I paid $30 directly to ride the same Manukau Ikatara. The price has increased by $9-19 since then, and drinks are now charged separately. I feel it's a bit expensive.

5-6年前、30ドル直接払って、同じマヌカイカタラマン乗っていました。当時より値上がり9-19ドル、かつ飲み物有料です。
ちょっと高いと感じます。

Dan was an awesome guide. Once he picked us up he gave us lots of little facts about Honolulu in general as we drove out. He was also very knowledgeable in answering our questions.

I liked that it was such a small group and felt that we all got some one on one time with the instructor as we needed.

Overall it was an amazing day and an experience I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

Highly recommend!

I participated with my 5-year-old daughter and my partner. It started without much explanation, and we paddled out, enjoying the waves alongside surfers. After it ended, I was asked if I saw any photos, but there wasn't anyone taking pictures, so I wondered if they had taken some without us knowing. In the end, no photos were taken. I wonder if they would take pictures if requested, although it might be an additional charge. We don't have any photos of us on the canoe, and while it remains a nice memory, I think it would have been great to have some, especially since we were with a child.

5歳の娘と親子3人で参加しました。
特に説明もなく始まり、パドルをもって漕ぎ出し、サーファーと一緒に気持ち良く波乗りを楽しみました。
終了後、写真見ました？と言われましたが、特に撮影している人もいなかったですし、どこかで知らない間に撮ってたのか？とも思いましたが、結局撮っていませんでした。
写真を希望すれば、撮ってくださるのかな？別料金でしょうけど。
カヌーに乗った写真はなく、思い出に残っていますが、子連れでしたし、あったら良かったなと思いました。

Our guides were really patient and very good at what they do. Not only do they make the whole gearing up and organizing details easy they taught my 6 year old daughter to snorkel and she actually did it! She is shy and was refusing for weeks, telling me she would not snorkel and I was quite prepared to sit on the beach with her but they wasted no time in teaching her directly 1 on 1 and getting her to put her face in the water while I got to snorkel close by. It was really great and she loved it, I loved it and the rest of the family did too. We saw beautiful fish and spent the time all pointing at things and saying "look" under water. A great day! Thank you so much!

I participated from 5 PM.
The sunset was very beautiful, and the view of the ocean was truly the best location!!
The height of 150 meters was quite impressive, and it was so much fun (*^^*)
I definitely recommend joining if you come to Hawaii.

17時から参加しました。
夕陽がとても綺麗で、海も見渡せて、本当に最高のロケーションでした！！
150mはかなり高さもあり、すごく楽しかったです(*^^*)
ハワイに来たらぜひ参加して欲しいです。

Due to the tour reservation being close to the date, there was only availability for 150 meters. It was the longest option, and I was a bit anxious, but it turned out to be unnecessary worry.
Viewing Waikiki Beach from the sea had a different charm!
The pickup was almost entirely in English, but I had a good impression of all the staff.
Next time I go, I would like to apply again.

ツアーの予約が実施日に近かった為、150メートルのみ空きがありました。1番長い事もあり、無事不安でしたが、やってみると取り越し苦労でした。
ワイキキビーチを海から眺めるのは、また違った良さがありました！
送迎からほぼ英語のみの対応でしたが、スタッフ全てに好感をもてました。
次回、行くなら再度申し込みたいと思います。

Two mature women’s first experience. At first, it was nerve-wracking, but once we took off, it was so much fun! It truly felt like we were soaring to the heavens. It was over in the blink of an eye, but we were able to capture it in photos, so it became a great memory.

熟女二人の初体験。最初はドキドキでしたが、いざ飛んでみると楽しい！楽しい！
まさしく天に昇るような気分でした。
あっと言う間でしたが、ちゃんと写真に残せたので いい思い出になりました。

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon and overseas wedding. Originally, my husband and I agreed that we wanted to ride solo, so we participated in the solo rides with transportation included. All the other participants were on tandem rides. It was a bit challenging at first until we got the hang of it, but once we did, we improved our speed and turning techniques! The tandem riders would switch at designated points, and I thought it seemed like a waste of time to switch, watching them out of the corner of my eye. The 30 minutes went by in a flash! It was almost not enough (laughs). We really had a great time! I absolutely recommend riding solo! Both of us are likely to get hooked on jet skiing!

However, it was a bit chilly, possibly because it was slightly overcast, and the sea was cold. Also, goggles are a must. The seawater is salty, and with all the splashing while jet skiing, your eyes will hurt. We rented goggles, which was definitely the right choice. They cost $10 each, which is a bit pricey, but it's better not to skimp on that.

ハネムーン&海外挙式でハワイへ行きました。元々、主人とお互い一人乗りがいいね、と言っていたので、一人乗り×2+送迎で参加。他の参加者は皆二人乗りでした。最初はコツをつかむまで難しいですが、つかめばスピードの出し方やカーブの曲がり方が上手くなります！二人乗りの方は交代するポイントに行って交代していましたし、交代する時間が勿体無さそうだな～と思って横目で見てました。30分という短時間なのであっという間です！物足りないくらい(笑)本当に楽しかった！！絶対一人乗りオススメ！！夫婦ともジェットスキーにはまりそうです！
ただ、やや曇っていた為か寒かった&海が冷たかったです。
あとゴーグルは必須。海水がしょっぱいのでジェットスキーしていると水しぶきすごいので目が痛いと思いますよ。私達はレンタルしたので大正解でした。一個10ドルで高いですけどけちらない方がいいです。

Before departure, they confirmed that there were no issues with my foot disability. I have flown whenever I had the chance, but this time was the best. In the past, there were times when couples were separated during busy periods, and the flight time was often short without any indication, leaving some dissatisfaction. However, this time, the altitude and flight time were clearly indicated, and I booked a flight at 150 meters. Both the reception staff and the boat crew were polite and kind, and I was very satisfied. Next time I come to Hawaii, I will definitely book Hawaiian Parasail again. Perhaps it will be for our golden wedding anniversary.

One thing: I was told that the meeting place was near the parking lot in front of the Hilton Lagoon, so I waited in front of the Hilton parking lot by the Lagoon Tower, but I became anxious and confirmed with the Hilton, only to find out it was a different location. It was actually the parking lot next to the Lagoon in front of the Lagoon Tower. It was a bit hard to find.

出発前に足の障害に問題無しの確認もきちんとしてくださいました。
今まで、機会あるたびに飛んでいましたが、今回が最高でした。今まで忙しそうな時にはカップルでも別々だったり滞空時間も提示も無く確実短かったりと何か不満残ることも。でも今回は高度も、滞空時間も提示してあり150mを予約しました。受け付けスタッフの方もボートのスタッフの方も丁寧親切で充分満足でした。次回もハワイに来るときはきっとハワイアンパラセイル予約します。次回は金婚式かな
一つだけ：集合場所がヒルトンのラグーンの前の駐車場前付近との事だったので、ラグーンタワーの前のヒルトンの駐車場前で待っていましたが不安になりヒルトンに確認すると違うとのこと。ラグーンタワー前のラグーンの隣に有る駐車場でした。ちょっと分かりづらかったです。

I wanted to surf in Hawaii, so on the morning of the day, I searched and found a session available from the afternoon, and I joined. Since I had experience with wakeboarding and snowboarding, I thought I would be able to stand up easily. It was a group session, but that day there were few people, so it ended up being just me and the coach (lucky!). We watched a video on the basics, and then headed out to the ocean! The coach said, "Go, go!" and I managed to stand up on my first try for about 20 meters! After that, I rode the waves 7 or 8 more times and stood up every time. It was incredibly fun! I'm grateful to the coach!!

I had a great time surfing for the first time!

ハワイでサーフィンしたいと思い当日の朝、探していると、昼から参加可能を見つけて、参加しました。
ウェイクボードとスノボードはした事あるので、立てたらなのとかなると思っていました。
グループ参加でしたが、その日は、人が少なくコーチとツーマンでした。（ラッキー！）
基本をビデオで見て、いざ沖へ！
コーチが「コイデーコイデー」っと言って、
いざ波へ1回目で立てて20mくらいは、立っていたと思います！！
その後も7〜8回滑って全部立てました。
最高ー！に楽しかったです。
コーチに感謝！！

初めてのサーフィン楽しく遊べました！

I participated alone. Both the instructor and the participants were friendly, so it was fine. There were about 5 instructors for 9 participants. It's okay even if there isn't an instructor who speaks Japanese, but there was one on this day. You can have fun even by yourself! The waves in Hawaii are easy to ride and you can stand for a long time, so even those who can't stand in Japan can enjoy it. Most of the participants were beginners, but everyone was able to stand up.

一人で参加しました。インストラクターも参加者も気さくで大丈夫です。9人参加にインストラクター5人位いました。日本語が話せるインストラクターが居なくても大丈夫ですが、この日は居ました。一人でも楽しめます！ハワイは波が乗りやすい波で長く立て、日本で立てない人も楽しめもす。参加者ほぼ初めての方でしたが、全員立てていました。

My husband and I participated together. The tour had a small group of seven people, including us, with support from Chieko and Dan (who speaks fluent Japanese). During the journey to Hanauma Bay, they shared various stories, making the trip enjoyable.

Once we arrived at Hanauma Bay, we smoothly bypassed the long line for individual tickets. We watched a video about the protection of Hanauma Bay, and it was quick to get through that as well. We really reached the beach efficiently.

As a first-time snorkeler, I was carefully taught how to wear the mask and how to clear water from it. Even after entering the water, they kept an eye on me, which made me feel very safe, and I was able to enjoy snorkeling a lot.

Depending on the sea conditions that day, they changed the swimming points to provide the best experience. On the day we participated, there was quite a low tide, so there were reportedly fewer fish. Dan also took underwater photos and pictures of us. I was grateful to see the beautiful fish again.

If I have the opportunity to visit Hawaii again, I would definitely like to bring my children and grandchildren along and participate again. This tour is highly recommended for beginners and children!

主人と二人で参加しました。ツアーも私たちを含めて7人の少人数で、チエコさんとダン（日本語ペラペラ）二人でのサポート体制。ハナウマ湾へ向かう道中も色々、お話をしてくれて、楽しみながら向かうことができました。
ハナウマ湾へ着いてからも、個人で来られている方の入場のチケットを買う長い列を横目に、スイスイ。ハナウマ湾保護のためのビデオを見るのですが、それもどこで見ると出るのが早い…等々。ほんとに効率よくビーチまで辿り着くことができました。
シュノーケリングが初めての私に丁寧にマスクの付け方や水の抜き方など教えて頂き、海に入ってからも、気にかけてくださり、とても安心して、シュノーケリングをとても楽しむことができました。
その日の海の状態で、泳ぐポイントを変えてその日のベストを提供していただきました。
私たちが参加した日は、かなりな引き潮でしたので、魚も少なかったらしいです。
ダンが水中の写真や私たちの写真も撮ってくれました。改めて綺麗な魚たちも見ることができ、感謝です。
またハワイを訪れる機会があれば、次は子供たちや孫たちも連れて、是非是非参加したいと思います。
初心者や子どもさんにもほんとにおすすめのツアーです！
