All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I participated with my husband on our honeymoon. After getting on the pickup car at the hotel, we took a small boat at the dock. It was quite fast, and it was thrilling and fun. Once we went a bit offshore, we finally started parasailing! The weather was very nice that day, and although I was scared at first, I was moved by the beautiful scenery we could see! I was very satisfied and truly glad we participated.

ハネムーンで夫と二人で参加しました。
ホテルにてピックアップの車に乗ったあと、船着き場にて小型ボートに乗ります。
結構なスピードでこれもスリル満点で楽しかったです。
少し沖に行った辺りでいよいよパラセーリング開始です！
この日は天候がとても良く、最初は怖かったものの、とても美しい景色を見ることができて感動しました！
とても大満足で、本当に参加してよかったです。

I had a great time. I was a bit anxious due to the lack of detailed explanations regarding safety, but once I experienced it, the scenery was beautiful, and I enjoyed it. If I had to mention something, during the latter part of the parasailing, some groups touched the seawater upon landing, so it's best to prepare for the cold. Also, it's advisable to use the restroom beforehand.

十二分に楽しめました。安全に関する部分の細かい説明が少なかったので少し不安でしたがいざ体験してみると景色も良くて良かったです。強いて言うならパラセーリング中の後半、着陸時にグループによっては海の中の海水に触れているグループがあったので寒さ対策はしっかりしておいた方が良いのとトイレは事前に済ましておいた方がいいです。

I do this activity every time i come to Oahu. Next time i come in, i will do this activity twice. One day i will do my normal thing using the bicycle to the secluded area i found my first year there and relax. Unfortunately this year was a bit overcast, which i blame on the volcanic disruptions from the big island. Second day i want to use a kayak to the Mokulua islands. Staff and service is great!

Professional and friendly customer service and crew. Amazing experience and terrific option for anyone that wants to see life under the sea without having to do all the work of snorkeling or scuba diving. :)

This parasailing experience was my second time as a repeat visitor. Last time, I had so much fun and felt a thrill and refreshment that I wanted to try it again when I visited Hawaii. This time, perhaps because there were two fewer groups than last time, it felt like we were able to fly for a longer time. Also, since there wasn't much wind last time, I was desperately clinging to the railing to avoid falling while the yacht was flying quite a bit, but this time, the wind was just right, and I was able to ride calmly on the yacht, which was comfortable. The crew was also very fun and lively, making for a truly enjoyable time. The shuttle driver was very nice this time as well, engaging in fun conversation and even treating us to drinks on the way back. For my third time, I will try the 150 meters.

このパラセーリングは、リピーターで二度目です。
前回、とても楽しくスリルと爽快感を味わえたので、ハワイに行くならまたトライしたいと思っていました。
今回は、前回より二組分少なかったせいか、長い時間飛ぶことができたように思います。
また、前回は風があまりなかったため、ヨットをかなり飛ばしていたので、落ちないように手すりにしがみつき必死でしたが、今回は風もほどよくあったのか、ヨットでも落ち着いて乗っていることができ、快適でした。
クルーの方も、とても楽しく盛り上げてくださったので、本当に楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
送迎の方も今回はとても良い方で、楽しくお話をして盛り上げてくれ、帰りにはドリンクまでごちそうしてくれました。
三回目は、150ｍをトライさせていただきます。

I had a fear of heights, but I decided to challenge myself!
It wasn't scary at all!
The ocean was beautiful, and the view was amazing!
I would love to do it again if I have the chance!
I just want to be careful about seasickness!

高所恐怖症でしたが、挑戦してみました！
全然怖くなかったです！
とにかく海が綺麗で、景色が最高でした！
また機会があればやりたいです！
ただ船酔いは、気をつけたいです！

My husband and I participated in a 150-meter parasailing experience. It was my second time parasailing, but the last time I did it at another place, it was only about 60 meters, so I thought I’d challenge myself and go for the highest one!

There was only one other couple, a Japanese couple, besides us, so the announcements regarding safety precautions were made in Japanese.

The weather was a bit bad that day, with light rain and wind, which made it quite shaky when we were up in the air, and it was a little scary, but the view was amazing and felt great!

Last time, there were many participants, and we came down quickly once we reached the top, but this time, since there were only two couples, we were able to stay up for a much longer time!

When we came down, our feet just touched the water, but it was a bit cold.

主人と二人で150メートルのパラセイルに参加しました。パラセイルは2回目でしたが、前回は他のとこで確か60メートルくらいのやつだったので、せっかくなら、と一番高いやつに挑戦しました！
参加者は、私たちの他にもう一組日本人のカップルだけだったので、注意事項などのアナウンスは日本語が流れていました。
この日は少し天気が悪く、小雨と風で上空にいるときは、なかなかの揺れで少し怖かったけど、とてもいい眺めで気持ちよかったです！
前回は参加者が多くトップまでいったらすぐ降りてきてたのですが、今回は二組だけだったせいか、とても長い時間飛ばしてもらえました！
降りてきてくるときに足だけ海にポチャンと着水してもらいましたが、少し寒かったです。

My husband and I participated in a semi-private stand-up paddle lesson. We were lucky because there were no other participants, so it was just the two of us! Our instructor was someone who had taught English in Japan, and the lesson was easy to understand as it included some simple Japanese. We learned how to paddle on the beach and quickly went into the sea, focusing mostly on practical experience, which was a lot of fun!

Before we started, I was more nervous than my husband, but in the end, I enjoyed it more than he did! (laughs) The instructor didn't stay right next to us the whole time; he was close at first but then let us enjoy ourselves freely! Another staff member took photos and videos for us, and although I hadn't planned to buy any, there were so many great pictures that I ended up purchasing a few as keepsakes! (laughs)

I only brought enough money for tips, but when I asked, they gave me a voucher, so I could buy them later with a credit card. It was great that I could receive the data on a USB.

Also, March was colder than I expected, so even wearing a long-sleeve rash guard, I felt cold. I'm glad I didn't fall into the sea. My husband, who wore a short-sleeve shirt, fell a few times and said it was very cold.

主人と二人でスタンドアップパドルのセミプライベートレッスンに参加しました。他に参加者はいなく、私たちだけのレッスンとなりラッキーでした！日本で英語の先生をしていた方が私たちの先生で、簡単な日本語を交えながらのレッスンだったのでわかりやすかったです。浜辺で乗り方を教わり、すぐに海に入りほとんどが実践という感じで、とても楽しかったです！
やる前は、主人よりも私の方がビビっていたのですが、結果、私の方が楽しんでしまいました！(笑)
先生もずーっと横についているわけでもなく、最初だけ近くにいてくれましたがほとんど自由に楽しめました！別のスタッフが写真や動画も撮ってくれていて、買うつもりはなかったけど、とてもいい写真が多く記念に写真だけ買いました(笑)
お金もチップ分しか持ってきていなかったので、聞いたら引き換えの紙を渡され、後からでもクレジットカードで買えました。データをUSBでもらえるのでよかったです。
あと、3月は思った以上に寒かったので、長袖のラッシュガード着てても寒かったです。海に落ちなくてよかったです。主人は半袖で何度か落ちてとても寒かったと言っていました。

Surfing itself was as enjoyable as I had expected. I was hoping for a photo shoot, but there was no information about it, so I thought it would be nice to have some guidance.

サーフィン自体は思っていた通りで楽しかったです。
撮影を希望していたのですが、
撮影案内などがなく、案内があればいいなと思いました

I participated in the morning session and chose the 90m option. There were three groups, including us, totaling seven people. The "m" likely refers to the length of the rope, and at 90m, it felt like there was no slack in the rope, making it rise quite high. The 150m option seemed to have a bit of slack, so it didn't look like it was going as high. If it's your first time, I think the 90m option is sufficient since the price is also lower.

It would be nice to have a waterproof phone case that you can hang around your neck to take photos from above. I'm worried about dropping a selfie stick. I wasn't sure about the tipping standard, so I gave $20 each to the two instructors, but it seems that wasn't necessary. They took about 112 photos for us. You can decide whether to purchase them after looking at the photos.

朝イチの参加で90mにしました。
私達を含め３組7人でした。
mは恐らく紐の長さなので、90mだと紐のたるむ部分がなくてかなり上まで上がっている気がしました。150mの方は紐が少したるんでそんなに高く上がっているようには見えませんでした。
初めてなら料金も安いし90mで十分だと思います。
首から下げれる防水のスマホケースがあれば上からも写真が撮れていいと思います。自撮り棒は落としそうで怖いです。
チップは相場がわからず、インストラクターの方2人に1人20ドルずつ渡しましたが、そんなに渡さなくて良かったみたいです
写真は112枚ほどとってくれていました。
一応写真を見てから購入するかを決めれます。

The pickup was on time! There was a child who got a bit drunk, but the kind brother took good care of him! The explanations were easy to understand, and he made it fun and exciting, so I would like to participate again!

お迎えも時間通り！
酔った子がいたのですが、ちゃんと見てくれてすごく優しいお兄さんでした！
説明もわかりやすく、楽しく盛り上げてくれたのでまた参加したいと思いました！

I visited Kailua, Lanikai Beach, and Kailua Town! Renting a bike costs an additional $10, but I think it's worth it to get around in a limited amount of time! The Japanese staff kindly shared information about the town, suggesting that takeout from Boots & Kimo's is better and telling me about shops that only locals know, which helped me navigate efficiently. Also, I was happy that lunch was included ❤︎ The recommended pizza was really delicious! If I have the chance to go again, I would definitely participate once more!

カイルア、ラニカイビーチ、カイルアタウンを周りました！
自転車はプラス$10かかりますが借りた方が限られた時間の中で周ることができると思います！日本人のスタッフの方が丁寧に町のことを教えてくれ、ブーツアンドキモズはテイクアウトの方がいいよとかこんなお店あるよとか現地の人しか知らない知識をきけて順序よく周れました
あと、ランチ付きは嬉しい❤︎オススメのピザはめっちゃ美味しかったです！
行く機会があればまた参加しようと思います！

We had so much fun! It was our first time and we cant wait to go back! Our instructor was so nice and he took his time and showed us everything. We seen lots of fish and a couple turtles

It was close to Waikiki, simple, and very good. This was my second time parasailing in Hawaii. Previously, I did parasailing combined with snorkeling at Hanauma, but I was disappointed because the instructor there was of Chinese descent and quite indifferent. This time, I felt it was very good.

ワイキキからも近くシンプルで非常に良かったです。
ハワイでは2度目のパラセーリングになりました。
以前 ハナウマシュノーケルとセットのパラセーリングをしましたが ハナウマのインストラクターが中国系の人で素っ気なく残念な思いをした分 今回は 非常に良く感じました。

Beginners can ride too! As mentioned, I was able to ride. Jimmy, who taught me, explained everything clearly. The staff also engaged in conversation, helping to ease my nerves. After changing, we took photos and played games, which was a lot of fun. I highly recommend it!

初心者の方も乗れます！の通り、乗れました。
教えてくれたジミーさんがわかりやすく教えてくれました。
スタッフの方も常に会話してくれて、緊張をほぐしてくれました。
着替えた後も写真を撮ってくれたり、ゲームをしたりと楽しめました。
おススメです！

I truly felt that participating was worthwhile. Before boarding, I requested some photos, and they took not only the overall shots of parasailing but also captured our expressions and the views from the boat, totaling around 90 photos. It's necessary to inform the staff and the captain that you'd like photos before boarding and before parasailing, but it's reassuring that you can decide whether to purchase them after returning to the office and viewing the photos. The cost for the photos was $30, and we gave the captain a total of $20 in tips for the four of us. It created the best memories!

参加してよかったと心から思います。乗船前に写真をお願いし、撮っていただきましたが、パラセイルの全体像だけでなく、表情、船からの景色も撮ってくださり、90枚程度撮っていただきました。乗船前やパラセイル前にスタッフや船長さんに写真が欲しいと伝える必要がありますが、事務所に帰ってきて写真を見てから購入の有無を決めることができるので安心です。写真代は30ドル、チップは4人で合わせて船長さんに20ドル渡しました。最高の思い出ができました！

This boat trip was amazing! The captain was extremely knowledgeable and even looked out for dolphins and whales for us! We werent able to see any dolphins, but we were able to see a whale. We also saw some honu's, (green sea turtles) and some really cool fish. He also had a lot of great jokes, which made me smile! Well worth it!

I participated in a semi-private SUP lesson in perfect weather and just the right climate. The instructor was very skilled in Japanese and was friendly, making the experience enjoyable. Doing SUP while feeling the sea breeze was very pleasant! There were some waves, and at one point, the instructor helped me ride the waves, which was fun.

天候にも恵まれ、ちょうど良い気候の中、Supセミプライベートレッスンに参加しました。インストラクターの方は日本語とても上手で、フレンドリーに接してくださり、とても楽しみながら体験することができました。海風を感じながら 行う Supはとても気持ち良かったです‼少し波もあり、途中インストラクターが波に乗せてくれたりして、楽しかったです。

The instructors were lively and had great energy even early in the morning. I paid a $30 tip. I've heard that you might see whales and dolphins, so I think you can look forward to that.

インストラクターさん方のノリが良くて朝イチでもテンションアゲアゲでした。チップは$30払いました。クジラやイルカが見えるときもあるらしいので期待していいと思います。

We boarded the boat and set off for parasailing! I only observed from the boat while my two children experienced it. The captain and staff had great conversations and jokes, which made my observation really enjoyable.

The staff took care of all the preparations! Once we arrived at the starting point, they put on a harness-like gear and we started right away. There was a slight feeling of floating, but the breathtaking view in front of me quickly made any fear disappear. It was quite high. If you're afraid of heights, you might find yourself gripping the belt tightly, but if you're not, you can relax and let go with one hand!

I read that there was a possibility of landing in the water, so I wore a swimsuit, but I only got wet up to my butt, so I didn't get too soaked. However, it's definitely better to wear a swimsuit. It might depend on the season, but since it was early morning, it was quite cold. You can place your belongings at your feet, so it's a good idea to have something to cover up with.

Due to the weather and being the first ride of the day, by the time we returned to the port, I was able to wear a T-shirt and shorts over my swimsuit.

港から船に乗りいざパラセイリングへ！
私は船で見学のみ、子ども2人で体験してきました。船長、スタッフの方のノリの良い会話、ジョークも楽しく見学している私もすごく楽しめました。
準備はスタッフの方が決めてくれます！ハーネスっぽい装備をつけてもらってポイント地点に着いたらすぐにスタート。多少の浮遊感はありましたが目の前に広がる絶景にすぐに怖さも吹き飛びます。結構高いです。高所恐怖症だとベルトをひたすら掴んで硬直状態になりますが、そうでないなら片手を離してリラックスもできます！
海への着地の可能性ありと書いてあったので水着でいきましたが、お尻までボチャンと浸かるくらいであまり濡れませんでした。でも水着で行った方がいいです。ただ時期にもよると思いますが、早朝だったのでかなり寒かったです。荷物は足元におけるので羽織るものがあったほうがいいですよ。
気候と一番最初だったこともあり港に着く頃には水着の上からTシャツと短パンが着れました。

This was my fourth trip to Hawaii, but my first time parasailing! Since I was staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, I was able to walk directly to the meeting point. Since it was a special trip to Hawaii, I decided to challenge myself with the 150m height, and it was definitely the right choice! I kept rising higher and felt like we were the only ones up there, which was an amazing feeling. I wondered if this is how birds feel when they fly? It was so exhilarating!!!

They said it would last about 15 minutes, but I think we were actually in the air for about 7 or 8 minutes. It cost nearly $100, so I gave it four stars. There were about four other groups participating, but since we were the first to fly and headed out to sea, we could only see the ocean in front of us and had to turn back to see the view of Waikiki. I recommend boarding the boat last so you can fly facing Waikiki.

Also, if you ask, they will take photos for about $20, but I think it's fine to ask someone from another group to take your picture. Since we flew first, we didn't have time to ask, so we ended up not getting any photos, but the experience is etched in my memory!

ハワイ4回目ですが初のパラセーリング！
ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ宿泊だったので徒歩で直接集合場所に行けました。
せっかくのハワイ旅行だし、ということで150mにチャレンジしましたが、これが大正解でした！
どんどん高く上がっていき、上空を私達だけで独り占めしてるようなそんな気分になれました^^
鳥ってこんな感じで飛んでるのかな？気持ちいいーーーーー！！！
と大興奮でした♪
15分？とのことでしたが実際に飛んでいたのは7.8分ほどだったと思います^^;
それで100ドル近くがかかったので星4つにしました。
ツアー客4組ほどと一緒に参加するのですが、私たちが一番最初に飛んだ時に沖に向かって進んでいたため、前の景色は海しか見えず、後を振り返りながらワイキキの景色をみないといけませんでした^^;
船に乗り込むのを最後にすると、ワイキキ方面を向いて飛べるのでおすすめです。
あと写真はお願いすれば20ドルくらいで撮ってくれますが、他のグループの方たちにお願いして撮ってもらう感じでいいと思います。
私達は最初に飛んだのでお願いする暇もなく結局写真は取れませんでしたが目に焼き付けました(笑)

I was picked up by bus at the hotel and departed from the bay near Hilton Village. It mentioned that towels were needed, but it was fine without them. You can also leave your valuables on the cruiser, so there's no need to worry.

It was drizzling a bit at departure, but once we got out to sea, it cleared up and we enjoyed beautiful weather!

The crew was friendly and engaged in conversation, which really enhanced the atmosphere, making it a lot of fun! Be sure to enjoy the breathtaking scenery and refreshing experience!

バスでホテルまで迎えに来てもらい、ヒルトン村のそばの湾から出発。
タオル必要と書いてありましたが、無くて大丈夫です。貴重品もクルーザーで置いておけるので安心してください。

出発時はパラパラと雨が降ってましたが、沖に出ると晴れ、快晴の中でした！

クルーの人が気さくに話しかけてくれ、雰囲気も盛り上げてくれるのでとても楽しかったです！
圧倒的な景色と爽快感を是非楽しんでください！

Second time I have used this tour to get to and from Hanauma Bay. Especially a great value if you already have your own snorkeling equipment as you can take the price down a few dollars without equipment rental.

Go first thing in the morning and be ready to get into the water by 8am or earlier. That way you can snorkel without the crowds until the circus arrives around 10am. By then I had already gotten 2 full hours of relatively unspoiled pics of all that I wanted to take and enjoyed lounging on the beach until the pickup time.

It was an experience like no other, and I had so much fun! The captain and crew were kind and made it enjoyable, so I felt at ease taking on the challenge. I want to ride again!

今まで体験したことのない感覚ですごく楽しめました！
船長さんたちも優しく、楽しませてくれたので安心して挑めました。
もう一度乗りたいです！

I appreciated that the shuttle service to the hotel was included, and it was great that it was okay to be wet as long as I had a bath towel laid out. I chose the 150-meter option, and even as someone with a fear of heights, I was able to enjoy it. The local crew took beautiful photos with a single-lens camera, which made for even more memorable moments.

ホテルまでの送迎付きで、バスタオルさえ敷いていれば濡れていてもOKなのが有り難かったです。150メートルを選択しましたが、高所恐怖症でも楽しめました。現地クルーの方が一眼で綺麗に写真を撮ってくれたので、更に思い出になりました。

I was scared before it started, but it seems like I had fun when it was over. Now I want to try the 150m ride!

始まる前は怖がっていましたが
終わると楽しかったみたく
今度は150mに乗りたい言ってました^o^

I participated with my mother. The guide stayed close to my mother, who had trouble with her breathing technique, which allowed both of us to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. The guide was very knowledgeable about the fish spots, so we were able to see a variety of fish efficiently, which was great. The fish swam very close to us and were beautiful.

However, it happened to be a very cold day, so I gave it one star less. The tour itself was excellent.

母と二人で参加。上手く息継ぎできない母にずっとついてくださって、私も母も安心してシュノーケリングを楽しめました。魚のポイントもよくご存じなので、様々な種類の魚を効率よく見れて良かったです。魚もすぐ近くに泳いでいてとてもきれいでした。
たまたま、この日は非常に寒かったので星を一つとりました。ツアー自体は最高でした。

Out to sea by boat! At a distance of 150 meters, we went up and up, but without any fear, and we even saw whales. It was the best eight minutes. I participated in a one-piece swimsuit, but I didn't get wet and landed safely on the boat! The staff were cheerful and it was a lot of fun! Thank you very much.

ボートで沖に！150ｍ選択で、上がる、上がる、
でも怖さ無く、鯨も見えて、最高の８分間でした。
ワンピースで参加しましたが、濡れず、
ボートに無事着地！スタッフさんも陽気で楽しかった！
ありがとうございました。

It was the kids' first surfing experience. My son was able to stand up on the board from the first day, and my daughter quickly learned to do the same. By the end, both kids were even riding while holding hands! If you want to start surfing, I recommend signing up here.

子供達の初サーフィンでした。
息子は、１本日から立てるようになり、娘もすぐに立てるようになりました。最後の方は、子供達二人で手を繋ぎながらのライディングまで出来るように！サーフィンを始めたいならこちらに申し込みをお勧めします。

It was my first time surfing, and there was a staff member who was friendly and spoke Japanese well, which helped me manage to stand up! Since I had a one-year-old child, my husband and I took turns participating, but we managed to ride the waves about 5 or 6 times in total. The two hours flew by, and it was a wonderful experience! I was so into it that I didn't even notice they were taking photos. This time was beginner-friendly, so next time I’d like to challenge myself with slightly bigger waves!

初サーフィンでしたが、日本語が上手で気さくなスタッフさんが1人いらっしゃり、なんとか立ち上がれました！
一歳の子供がいたので主人と2人で交替しながらの参加でしたが、合計5,6回は波に乗れました。あっという間の２時間でしたが、とても良い経験ができました！
写真は撮られていることにも全く気付かないくらいでした。
今回は初心者向けだったので、次回はもう少し高い波にも挑戦してみたいです♪
