All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

On the day I signed up, I received a cancellation call from the local company around 9 AM due to strong winds (I was glad I used the hotel phone since I didn't have an overseas phone). They asked if I wanted to reschedule for another day, and I initially canceled. However, since the weather was bad and other optional activities were also canceled, I had some free time and was able to adjust the schedule via email and participate again. As an option, having the staff take photos while flying costs an additional $30 (including an SD card, which they hand over to you). Also, since I had a great time, I gave a tip to the boat staff.

申し込んだ日は強風のため、午前9時頃ホテルに直接現地の会社から中止の電話が来ました（海外用の電話は持っていなかったので、ホテルの電話にしておいて良かったです）。別の日にするか聞かれ一度キャンセルしたのですが、天候が悪く他のオプション参加も中止になったため時間が空いてしまい、再度メールにて日程調整して参加することができました。オプションとして、飛んでいるところをスタッフに撮影してもらうと＋３０ドルです（SDカード込みで、そのまま渡してくれます）。又、楽しかったので、ボートのスタッフへチップを渡しました。

I participated in the 120m plan available only in the early morning. My wife, who is not fond of heights, was worried about joining, but once she experienced it, she found that she didn't feel much height at all and was able to enjoy the pleasant breeze, the blue ocean, and the view of Diamond Head.

Although it comes at an additional cost, I recommend the $30 photo package. We were able to get about 100 photos taken.

早朝限定の120mプランで参加しました。
高い所が苦手な妻は、参加を心配していましたが、実際に体験してみると、高さをあまり感じず、気持ち良い風と、青い海、ダイヤモンドヘッドの景色を楽しむことができたようです。

現地での別料金になりますが、30$の写真がおすすめです。
100枚ほど写真をとってもらえました。

This was my first time snorkeling in Hawaii. The weather was the best it had been during our stay, and since it was an afternoon tour, it wasn't cold at all—the timing was perfect! My wife, who can't swim, was able to glide through the water for an hour of snorkeling with the help of a life jacket and fins, thanks to Chieko's clear explanations and teaching style. We were amazed by the colorful small fish and schools of large parrotfish and ladyfish right in front of us. At one point, Dan called us over, and we saw a sea turtle up close. It was my first time seeing a sea turtle at such a reachable distance, and I was truly moved. I think this was the best snorkeling experience I've ever had. Although I couldn't take good pictures with my underwater camera, I was really glad to be able to download photos from Dan's Facebook. Thank you for a wonderful time that I could get lost in. Next time, I plan to join this tour again with my daughter and her husband and my grandchildren.

ハワイでのシュノーケリングは初めてでした。
滞在中で一番良い天気だったことと、午後からのツアーだったので寒くもなく、タイミングはバッチリでした！
泳げない妻もライフジャケットとフィンをつけて、ちえこさんのわかりやすい説明と教え方で１時間のシュノーケリングをスイスイと泳ぐこと出来てびっくりでした。
目の前を色とりどりの小魚や大きなアオブダイやレディーフィッシュの群れ…
途中でダンさんに呼ばれて近くまで行くと海ガメがいました。
手の届くような距離で海ガメを見るのは初めてで本当に感動しました。
今まで体験したシュノーケリングで一番良かったと思います。
持参した水中カメラも上手く写せなかったのですが、ダンさんのFBで写真もダウンロードさせてもらえて本当に良かったです。
夢中になれる素敵な時間をありがとうございました。
次回は娘夫婦や孫たちと一緒にまたこのツアーに参加しようと思います。

I experienced 150m parasailing on my honeymoon. I discovered this option while searching for activities on my own, as the optional tours from the travel agency were far from the hotel and quite expensive. I was attracted by the proximity to the hotel, reasonable pricing, and early morning schedule, so I decided to book it.

On the day of the experience, they picked me up close to the hotel, and we set sail immediately upon arrival, which was great as there was no wasted waiting time. During the experience, the atmosphere was very homey, with everyone cheering and clapping as others took off and returned.

However, the waves in the Hawaiian sea were higher than I had imagined, so I think taking motion sickness medication is necessary. There were long periods of time when we were stationary during others' experiences, and the boat rocked enough for waves to come inside, which made me feel a bit queasy.

But once I was up in the air, it was truly a breathtaking view! From 150m high, I could see all of Waikiki, and the scenery was exhilarating. Before flying, they asked, "Are you okay with the GoPro?" and "Do you want to buy an SD card?" I recommend both. The landing in the water was dynamic, and if you mention that you want to purchase a card, they will take plenty of photos.

When I returned home and looked at the photos on my computer, there were over 100 images! I was amazed that it was only $30 for that. I was really happy about it.

With a 7:45 AM pickup, we arrived back at the hotel shortly after 9 AM, so I was able to spend the rest of the day meaningfully. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you very much.

新婚旅行で150mのパラセイリングを体験しました。旅行会社のオプショナルツアーはホテルから遠く、体験料も高かったので、個人で色々探しているときに発見。
ホテルからも近く、体験料も良心的、朝早い、ということに魅力を感じて申し込みました。
当日はホテルの近くまでお迎えに来てくれて、着いたら即出航。無駄な待ち時間もなく、よかったです。
体験中は同乗の方たちが飛んでいったり、戻ってくるとかけ声と拍手で盛り上げながらだったので、とてもアットホームな雰囲気でした。
ただ、ハワイの海は想像以上に波が高かったので、酔い止めの服用は必要だと思いました。
他の方の体験中は停船している時間も長く、揺られて船のなかに波が入ってくるくらいでしたので、途中から酔いそうになりました。
しかし、いざ飛んでみると、まさに絶景！150mの高さからワイキキを一望でき、すばらしい眺めに大興奮です。
飛ぶ前に「ジャボンOK？」「SDカードは買う？」と聞かれるので、両方をおすすめします。海への着水もダイナミックですし、カードを購入すると伝えるとたくさん写真を撮ってくれます。
帰国してからパソコンで見ると、100枚以上のデータが！これで＄30とは驚きです。
本当に嬉しかったです。
7時45分のピックアップで9時過ぎにはホテルに到着したので、その後の時間も有意義に過ごせました。
素晴らしい体験になりました。ありがとうございました。

Very knowledgeable guide and great kayaking! Good conversation and very understanding to beginners

It was my first time kayaking, and I had a great time. Before heading out to sea, we received a brief lesson on paddling, but it was still a trial by fire. However, I gradually got used to it, so my anxiety faded away.

Our guide, Ryusei, really boosted our spirits, making the kayaking experience even more enjoyable. Thank you very much. I definitely recommend going with a guide. The staff members were also very kind.

However, during the drive from the meeting point to Kailua Beach Adventures, the driver (who was not Japanese) didn't greet us at all. Additionally, on the return trip, there was no announcement like "The next stop is ○○," so if I had dozed off, I would have missed my stop. Is this just part of the responsibility in Hawaii...? Even if they can't speak Japanese, I think they should at least provide this information.

But the kayaking was fun. I would like to try it again next time.

初めてのカヤックでしたが、十分楽しめました。
海に出る前に簡単な漕ぎ方を教わりますが、やはりぶっつけ本番です。でも段々と慣れていくので不安はなくなります。

ガイドのりゅうせいさんが気分を盛り上げてくれ、より一層楽しいカッヤック体験になりました。ありがとうございました。
是非　ガイド付きをお勧めします。スタッフの方々も優しいです。

しかし、集合場所からカイルアビーチアドベンチャーズまでの道中運転手さん（日本人ではない）が何の挨拶もなし。また復路ではカイルアビーチアドベンチャーズがら解散場所まで、「次の停車場所は○○です」の案内がないので自分が寝過ごしてしまったら最後、降りるべき所で降りれない。これもハワイ、自己責任なのでしょうか・・・
日本語が話せないとしてもこれだけは案内すべきと思います。

でも、カヤックは楽しかったです。次回もやってみたいです。

I have done this activity several times in several locations. This was the best, because it was close to Waikiki (walking distance from the Hilton/Ilikai), great crew, great experience. Best in Honolulu

At first, I was scared of parasailing and hesitated to sign up, but seeing is believing!

最初、パラセーリングが怖くて申し込もうかどうか悩んだ上で参加しましたが、
百聞は一見に如かずです！

I participated in the morning shuttle. The tour company staff were friendly and kind to the children, and my 7-year-old daughter enjoyed the view from 150 meters. I was worried about the kids getting seasick, but there were no problems. After the parasailing, the speed of the boat on the way back to the port was exhilarating, almost like a different activity. We were able to return to the hotel before 9 AM, so we had plenty of time to play for the rest of the day. It was a great experience.

朝一の送迎で参加しました。
ツアー会社の方の人柄が良く、子供たちにも親切に接していただき、
7歳の娘も150mからの景色を楽しんでいました。
子供たちの船酔いを心配していましたが、問題ありませんでした。
パラセイリング終了後、帰港するときの船のスピードも爽快で
別のアクティビティのようでした。
ホテルには9時前に帰ってくることができたので、その後も一日たっぷり
遊ぶことができました。いい体験ができました。

We had Awesome time Snorkeling. The fish were beautiful and very colorful. Dan was very patient with me. He is a great instructor. Hawaii was absolutely Gorgeous!

We joined this tour because we wanted to participate as a group of three, including one child. Besides us, there were groups of a family of three and two siblings, and everyone was able to ride with their desired number of people. The altitude increased quickly from the start, but I didn't feel any fear; I just felt joy and comfort. Before we boarded, they asked if we wanted photos taken, and when I requested it, they took some fun pictures for us. I would love to participate again.

子供1人含む3人で参加したかったのでこちらのツアーに参加しました。
我々以外には3人の家族や2人の兄弟？で参加されている組がいましたが、それぞれ希望の人数で乗れていました。
開始からすぐに高度が上がりましたが、特に恐怖感はなく、ただただ楽しさ、気持ち良さを感じました。乗る前に撮影して欲しいかを聞かれたのでお願いしたら面白い感じで写真を撮ってくれましたよ。また参加したいです。

The beginning snorkel was perfect for our family! We saw so many fish a sea turtle! We would do this again for sure. Our guides were attentive and made sure we we safe and not missing a thing. This was perfec for us since we were all 1st time snorkelers.

We can’t wait for the next time.

We experienced it together as a group of three. It was very smooth, and we were extremely satisfied! I was a bit scared before jumping, but once I floated up, it felt great the whole time. Occasionally, when a strong wind blew, it swayed, which added to the thrill. I didn't purchase the photos, but it became a wonderful memory. I want to do it again!

３人で一緒に経験しました。とてもスムーズで、大満足です！とぶ前は少し怖かったのですが、ふわっと飛んだらあとはずっと気持ち良かったです＼(^o^)／時々強い風が吹くと揺れて、それもまた良いスリル感でした。
写真は購入しなかったのですが、とても良い思い出になりました☆またやりたいです！

I experienced seasickness, and both my mother and son vomited. We were apologized to, but we were called names like "Vomit Family" and "Yellow Family," which made us feel very uncomfortable. In the end, we were also forced to give a tip. It was the worst experience.

I hope that in the future, the captain and guides will not be involved in the tourism industry to prevent such incidents. The term "yellow" is something that cannot be overlooked.

船酔いし、母親の私と息子が嘔吐しました。それに対して謝罪しました。ですが、ゲロファミリーやイエローファミリー等と散々言われ、とても嫌な思いをしました。最後にチップも強制されました。最悪でした。

今後このようなことが起きないよう、船長やガイドが観光業に関わらないよう願います。
イエローという言葉はとても看過できるものではありません。

Last year, my parents had a great time on their trip to Hawaii, which is why we made this reservation. It was my mother's second time, and it was my first time parasailing, but thanks to the friendly staff, we enjoyed a fun flight. On the day of our flight, there was only one other couple besides us, so it wasn't busy, which was nice. The weather was clear, and perhaps because there was a little wind, we experienced some turbulence in the air. My mother seemed to get a bit seasick, but after a while, she settled down. I felt like the view from above was completely different from what you see from the ground. After we landed, we paid $30 to receive an SD card with the photos. All the pictures captured natural expressions, and they made for a wonderful keepsake. I would love to experience this again next time.

昨年、両親がハワイに旅行に行った際に楽しかったからと言う理由で今回予約をしました。母は２回目、私はパラセイリング初めてでしたがフレンドリーなスタッフさん達のおかげで楽しいフライトを楽しめました。当日は私たちの他に１組のカップルだけだったので、忙しくなく良かったと思います。またお天気も快晴で少し風が吹いていたからかもしれないが、上空で揺れました。母は少し酔ってしまったようですが、少し経過して落ち着いたようです。地上から見るのと上空から見るのでは、また違った景色を見ているように感じました。到着後、＄３０を支払写真のSDカードをもらいました。どれも自然な表情の写真ばかりで、とても良い記念になりました。また次回も体験してみたいと思いました。

Shopping in Hawaii is great, but if there's a beautiful ocean right in front of you, I thought it would be nice to enjoy it from a high place, so I joined this tour.

I also made my 70-year-old father and 67-year-old mother participate in the 150-meter parasailing. Both of them gave a thumbs up as a good sign when they came down. The boat was small and quite rocky. I read in the experiences that "it might be good to have motion sickness medication," so I brought some just in case, and I took it as soon as we headed out to sea. Thanks to the tension of the upcoming parasailing and the rocking, I easily started to feel a bit nauseous. I think it's definitely a good idea to take the motion sickness medication beforehand.

From takeoff to landing, it takes about 10 minutes, which feels quite long. We took off in a line of three, which is said to be more stable. If there are any scared people, please fly together with them. Instead of sitting in a chair, it's a type where you connect a harness. So even in the air, the parachute swayed left and right, which wasn't very pleasant.

When the rope started to wind up and we got closer to the boat, I pointed down (toward the sea) at the captain, and he made sure to drop us into the water. Those who weren't wearing swimsuits or didn't want to get wet landed normally. If you're going to do it, why not get dropped into the blue sea and make the boat experience more exciting?

ハワイでお買い物三昧もいいですが、綺麗な海が目の前にあるなら、高いとこからそれを眺めるのも良いんじゃないかと思いこのツアーに参加。

70歳の父親と67歳の母親も150メートルのパラに強制参加させました。２人とも降りてくるなら親指を立ててグッドこサインをしてました。
船は、小さな船で結構揺れます。体験談に「酔い止めが有ると良いかも」って書いてあったので保険のために持って行きましたが、沖に出てすぐに飲みました。
これから始まるパラへの緊張と揺れのお陰で、簡単に気持ち悪くなることができました。まず酔い止めを飲んでおいて間違いは無いと思います。

テイクオフから降りてくるまでは、約10分。結構長く感じます。横並びの３人でテイクオフしましたが、その方が安定するとのこと。怖がりの人がいるなら一緒に飛んであげて下さい。
椅子に座るのではなく、ハーネスを繋げる感じのタイプ。なので上空でもパラが右へ左へ揺られて、あまり気持ちのいいものではありませんでした。

ロープが巻き取り始めて船まで近づいた時に、キャプテンに向かって下（海面）に向かって指を指差すと、ちゃんと海に落としてくれます。
水着を着てなかったり希望しない人は、普通に着地してました。
折角なら青い海に落としてもらい、船を盛り上げては如何ですか？

We did Parasailing for the first time and it was truly Awesome!

This was one of my favorite activities on my vacation. The entire team was very nice and made sure we understood what we were doing and had a good time. I really enjoyed being able to be underwater to see the fish and sea turtles without having to learn to scuba dive or deal with snorkel gear below the surface of the water. The pictures and video from the activity were also very well done and a good price.

This was our second visit with our two children (two years in a row). The crew is entertaining, and it’s always the best experience no matter how many times we go. Check-in is fine in Japanese, so there’s nothing to worry about. We’ll definitely come again!

子供２人と２回目（２年連続）の利用でした。
クルーも楽しませてくれるし、何度やっても最高。チェックインも日本語で問題ないし、心配もないです。
またお願いします！！

The cheerful crew really got everyone excited, and we were able to compete and take photos with other families on the same boat. When we actually flew, we were able to enjoy the best views, and it was a valuable experience. I definitely want to recommend this to anyone visiting Honolulu!

1. It's reassuring to put your phone in a waterproof pouch.
2. I think it's good for children to have motion sickness medication.

クルーの陽気な方がとても盛り上げてくれて、同じボートに乗る他の家族の方たちとも手を張り合ったり写真を取り合ったり出来ました。
実際に飛んだ時は最高の景色を眺めることができ、貴重な体験が出来ました。
ホノルルに遊びに行く人には是非オススメしたいです！
１つ 携帯は防水ポーチにいれると安心
２つ お子様は酔い止めがあるといいと思います。

My father-in-law and I had an awesome time out on the water. We took the morning tour/sail. The staff was very nice, informative and professional. It was a great way to start any day. The views from the boat were spectacular. I would recommend anyone coming to Waikiki to look them up and take the tour.

This was my first time participating. There were two staff members accompanying us on the boat, both of whom were locals. One of the staff members spoke Japanese, albeit with a bit of difficulty. They were cheerful and had an interesting way of talking!

As for the parasailing, I joined the 110m program. Before taking off, the staff asked whether I wanted to land on the boat or be dropped into the sea. Since it was a special occasion, I chose to be dropped into the sea, which was fun!

The view from above was breathtaking, and I’m really glad I participated. Also, I think it’s essential to take motion sickness medication before getting on the boat to avoid causing trouble for the staff and other participants. Before participating, please make sure to read the precautions carefully, follow them, and ensure you are in good health.

初めて参加しました。船に同行するスタッフは2人、どちらも現地の方でした。
カタコトではありますが、スタッフのうち1人の方は日本語でお話ししてくださりました。明るい方で、トークが面白かったです！
パラセーリングの方ですが、110mのプログラムに参加しました。
飛ぶ前に、スタッフの方に船上に着地かそのまま海に落としてもらうかを聞かれました。せっかくなので海に落としてもらいました笑
上空から見る景色は絶景で、とても参加してよかったと思います。
また、スタッフの方、他の参加者に迷惑をかけないよう、酔い止めはボートに乗る前に必ず飲んでいた方が良いと思います。参加の前には、
注意事項をしっかりと読み、それに必ず従い、体調が整っている上で参加してほしいです。

We participated with two families of friends. Chieko and Dan provided excellent support, and we got to see the adorable honu and colorful fish. When I asked the kids what they enjoyed the most in Hawaii, they immediately replied, "snorkeling." Thank you for the wonderful memories! ♪

友人２家族と参加。
chiekoさんとdanさんのお２人が精一杯サポートしてくれて、
とっても可愛らしいホヌ、色とりどりのお魚に会えました。
子供達にHawaiiで何が一番楽しかった？と聞くと
「シュノーケル」と言う答えが間を空けることなく返ってきました。
楽しい思い出をありがとうございます♪

After reading the experiences, I was excited to participate because I heard we could see turtles and a lot of fish. Last time I joined an outrigger tour, there were many turtles, and I was really impressed, so I expected something similar this time. However, the waves were a bit high at the location, and there were many children and non-swimmers in the same group, so we probably couldn't go out too far this time. There weren't many fish, and of course, there were no turtles or seals... it left us wondering what we came here for. (laughs) Maybe it would have been better to snorkel on our own in Waikiki... I think it depends on the day! Also, the tour guide was very kind and nice. The transportation and care were excellent! So, you can participate with peace of mind! My rating reflects the condition of the sea that day.

体験談を見て、亀が見れて魚もたくさんみれるとのことで、期待して参加。
前回アウトリガー 前からのツアーに参加したら亀がたくさんいて、大感動したのでそんな感じかなと。
思ってましたが、現地では波も高めで同じグループの方も子供や泳げない人も多めで今回はあまり沖に出られなかったのかな？
魚も大していなくて、亀やアザラシはもちろんいなくて、、、何しにきたんだろうわたし達ってゆう感想でした。笑
ワイキキで自分らでシュノーケルした方が良かったかも。。。
日によるんだと思います！そして、ツアーガイドの方はとっても優しくていい方でした。
送迎やケアがとても良かった！なので安心して参加できます！
評価はこの日の海の状態と言った感じです。

It was a last-minute kayak tour with an instructor. The instructor was very nice, and I felt安心 (at ease) even with my two children! They shared various stories on the island, and the kids were very interested! Since lunch was included, we had pizza for lunch! The pizza was delicious, and it was a very satisfying day. I want to come back again next year!

急遽、インストラクターさんについてもらってのカヤックツアーでした。
インストラクターさんがとても良い方で子供2人連れてでしたが安心して行けました！
島でも色んな話をしてくれて子供たちも興味津々！
ランチも付いていたので、ランチはピザにしました！
ピザも美味しくて大満足の1日でした。また来年も来たいです！！

The husband and wife team were insightful, helpful, and made sure everyone was safe. They even picked us us and gave us a mini tour of the island sites as we drove. I would definitely recommend to anyone including families with children. They had an additional family with us with small children and they provided them with extra resources to be safe and have fun.

Sunscreen is a must. The staff were very kind, and I had a great time. The view from 150 meters is spectacular.

日焼け止めは必須ですね
スタッフの方もとても優しくしていただき満喫できました
150mからの景色は見ものです

We experienced the 90-meter activity with my 10-year-old and 6-year-old sons. Since we had confirmed multiple times about doing it together as a group of three, I immediately checked with the staff, and they readily gave us the okay, which was a relief.

Perhaps because we were the first group, the duration was long, and the height was more than sufficient. They even provided a service where we were lightly dropped into the sea, and the staff spoke Japanese well, which made us very satisfied.

However, the other two families felt that their experience time was short, and one family who had signed up for the 150-meter height didn't feel much of a difference compared to us.

After the experience, my 6-year-old son was overjoyed and said he wanted to do it again.

10歳と6歳の息子と3人で90メートルで体験しました。
実施前に再三、3人での実施について確認していたため、スタッフにすぐに確認すると、あっさりオッケーをもらい、一安心。

1番最初だったからか、時間も長く、高さも充分過ぎるくらいでした。
しっかり、海に軽く落とすサービスもしてもらえたし、日本語も上手で、とても満足でした。

ただ、他のふた家族は、実施時間が短く感じたり、高さを150メートルで申し込んだという方と、自分達の差をあまり感じませんでした。

体験が終わると、6歳の次男が、またやりたくなってきたと大喜びでした。

It was all a first-time experience and I was full of anxiety, but it was fun! However, for those who get seasick, please take medication in advance. The boat sways quite a bit, so it was a bit tough for the kids.

全てが初めての経験で不安だらけでしたが、楽しかったー❗ただ、船酔いされる方は薬を事前に飲んで下さい。船がかなり揺れますので子供にはちょっと可哀想でした。

I participated in the 120m parasailing activity. The weather was great, and it was a beautiful and amazing experience.

The photos were taken by the crew and sold to us, but they allowed us to bring our own cameras, so everyone was taking pictures with their own cameras.

Also, since we could bring our cameras at our own risk, I was able to take a lot of photos from the sky. I am very satisfied.

I'm glad I participated!

120mのパラセイルに参加しました。
天気にも恵まれていたこともあり、とても綺麗で最高なアクティビティでした。

写真はクルーの人たちが撮影⇒販売という形態でしたが、
カメラ持参を許してくれたので皆さん普通に持参したカメラで写真撮っていました。

また自己責任という形でパラセイルにカメラ持参で挑むことができましたので、空から沢山の写真を撮影することができました。とても大満足です。

参加してよかった！
