All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

We participated as a couple with a Japanese guide. We had free time in the first half, and then we went kayaking at noon. We decided to try cycling, which we hadn't planned for. The bike had a brake that stops when you pedal backward, and I was quite nervous getting used to it. However, I was amazed by the beauty of Lanikai Beach and the lovely cycling path along Kailua Beach! I'm glad we did it ^_^

The kayaking in the second half was stunning because the sea was so beautiful, and I was in awe. However, I was so focused on paddling that I couldn't take many photos. After we reached the uninhabited island, we had the guide take various pictures for us, but I was really disappointed that we didn't get a photo of the two of us in the kayak. It ended with me wondering, "Huh? Huh?" The kayaking felt great while we were on it, but we capsized when getting in and out, which turned out to be surprisingly fun (^ ^)w

日本語ガイド付きで夫婦2人で参加しました。私達は前半が自由時間で、12時からカヤックでした。予定してなかったサイクリングをしてみました。この自転車がペダルを後ろにこぐと止まるブレーキで、なかなか慣れずドキドキしながら乗りました。でもラニカイビーチの美しさやカイルアビーチ沿いのサイクリングロードの綺麗さに感動でした！！
して良かったと思います^_^
後半のカヤックは海がとても綺麗だったので、わ〜と思いましたが、漕ぐのに必死で写真をあまり取れず無人島に着いてからいろいろ写真をガイドさんに撮って頂きましたが、2人でカヤック乗ってる写真を取ってもらえると思っていたのに撮ってもらえなかったのがすごい残念でした。。あれ？あれ？と思ったまま終わってしまいました。カヤックは乗ってる時も気持ち良いですが、乗るときと降りる時に転覆して、それが意外と面白かったです(^ ^)w

So happy that I finally decided to go parasailing! I can't believe I waited so many years to do it. This is an experience I'll do again.

I participated with my 8-year-old daughter and my parents who are over 60, and everyone enjoyed it from the bottom of their hearts. At first, I was nervous, but the view from above was so beautiful; it was the best.

My mother was wearing marine shoes, but when she got splashed with water, her shoes were swept away by the sea. I recommend participating barefoot.

8才の娘、還暦を越えた両親と参加しましたが、みんな心から楽しんでいました。
最初はドキドキしましたが、上からの景色が綺麗すぎて、最高でした。

母は、マリンシューズをはいていましたが、水ジャボンされたときに海にシューズがさらわれてしまいました。裸足で参加をおすすめします。

The beautiful sea and scenery made jet skiing the best experience. The staff were cheerful, and I had a great time. I will definitely use this service again next time. Thank you very much!

綺麗な海、景色の中で、ジェットスキーは最高でした。スタッフの方が陽気で楽しく過ごせました。次回も利用します。本当にありがとうございました

I went parasailing for the first time this New Year. It was a small tour with about four groups. I thought it wouldn't be too bumpy, but as soon as we left the yacht harbor, the boat started rocking a lot. I took some motion sickness medication, but I still felt a bit nauseous. My son joined me, and he didn't take any medication, so he got quite seasick. However, once we were up in the air, the view was amazing, and the altitude was impressive. I didn't feel too scared and was able to enjoy it. Next time, I plan to take better precautions against seasickness.

新年1発目にパラセーリングをしてきました。
4組程で少人数でのツアーでした。
大して揺れないだろうと思っていましたが、ヨットハーバーから
外に出たとたんに船が大きく揺れて酔い止めを飲んでいましたが
それでも少し気持ち悪くなりました。息子も一緒に参加したのですが
彼は酔い止めを飲んでなく相当酔っていました。
それでも上空に上がったら景色は最高で決行な高度がありましたが
怖さもあまりなく楽しむことができました。
次回は船酔い対策をしっかりして挑もうと思います。

This was my fourth experience. Usually, I choose the most expensive options, but this time it was 120m. I enjoyed it refreshingly.
There are usually some pushy aspects, but this time there was none of that, and I was able to give a tip comfortably, as the service was humble.

4度目の体験でした。いつもは、最高に高いものを選んでいましたが、今回は120ｍでした。さわやかに楽しめました。
いつもは、少し強引なところもございましたが、今回はそれはなく、チップをこちらから気持ちよくお渡しでき、謙虚なご対応でした。

I was a bit scared before getting on, but once I started flying, it was very refreshing and felt great. The weather was nice, so both the sky and the sea were a brilliant blue, and the view of Waikiki from the ocean was spectacular. I'm glad I experienced it. The staff were also very kind. I don't understand much English, but they showed me a paper with explanations in Japanese, so it was totally fine! It’s very bright, so I think it’s better to have sunglasses.

乗るまでは怖いのかなと思いましたが、
いざ飛んでみたら、そんな事はなくとても爽快で気持ちよかったです。
天気が良かったので空も海も真っ青で
海から眺めるワイキキの景色も絶景で
体験して良かったです。
スタッフの方もとても親切にしてくれました。
英語はあまり分からないのですが、日本語の説明の紙も見せてもらえたので、全然大丈夫でした！
とても眩しいのでサングラスはあった方がいいと思います。

I was able to see the view of Waikiki, and it was fun to see the hotel from the ocean!
I had some photos taken!
There are pictures where it looks like I could be eaten by a shark, and you can even see the airline in the background, making for great memories!
However, it was unfortunate that the camera lens was dirty, and all the photos had spots in the same position...
Also, the waves were high, and I got seasick.
Please make sure to take motion sickness medication and enjoy yourselves!

ワイキキの景色を見ることができ、ホテルを海から見れて楽しかったです！
写真を撮っていただきました！
サメに食べられちゃう写真や、航空会社もわかるレベルで写真に写り、いい記念になりました！！
ただ、残念だったのはとっていただいたカメラのレンズが汚れており、どの写真も同じ位置に点々が…
そして波は高く、船酔いもしました。
ぜひ酔い止めを飲んで、みなさん楽しんでください♪

The weather was nice, and we had an amazing time. The height of 90 meters was more than enough for us. My 9-year-old daughter, rather than being scared, enjoyed it the most. She said that parasailing was the most fun she had in Hawaii. The other people on the boat were also Japanese, and even though we didn't know each other, we cheered and felt a sense of unity, which was fun. The guide took a lot of photos for an additional fee of $30, and we received an SD card. This was a great deal. By the way, I gave the captain a tip of $20.

天気も良く、最高に楽しかったです。
高さ90メートルで私達には十分すぎでした。
特に９才の娘が怖がるどころか一番楽しんでいました。パラセイリグがハワイで一番楽しかったと言っています。
一緒に船に乗った他の人達も日本人で、知らない方々ですが、イエーイなどと盛り上がり、なんとなく一体感を感じて面白かったです。
ガイドのお兄さんが写真を別料金30ドルでたくさんとってくれて、SD カードをもらいました。これはとてもお得でした。
ちなみに船長にチップ20ドルを渡しました。

It was very pleasant and fun! You should definitely try it at least once♪ Next time I go to Hawaii, I want to do it again!

とても気持ちよくて楽しかったです！一回は試してみるべきです♪次回ハワイに行く時は、もう一度やりたいです！

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!
