All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

We had a wonderful morning kayaking! Our guide, Dan, was so knowledgeable about the island and made it a great experience. We got lucky and saw at least 10 turtles. I highly recommend this activity!

Kayaking was a bit difficult, but it was a lot of fun! It was interesting to land on a flat island and receive explanations about various plants and birds. I was also happy to have the opportunity to take photos in different places. At one point, we had a chance to surf on the waves while kayaking, and the chances of capsizing were fifty-fifty. I did end up capsizing, but I think it was worth trying. I got some scrapes and cuts during the capsize, but the guide helped me out with medicine and band-aids. In the afternoon, I had free time, so I rented a bike and went snorkeling in the sea. I really enjoyed it!

カヤックは漕ぐのはちょっと難しかったんですが、とても楽しかったです！
平らな島に上陸して色々な植物や鳥の説明をしてもらえるので面白かったです。
そして、色々な所で写真を撮ってもらえるのも嬉しかったです。
途中カヤックでの波乗りをやる場面があり、転覆する確率は五分五分。見事に転覆してしまいましたが、やってみる価値はあるかと。転覆の際、擦り傷切り傷ができてしまったんですがガイドさんが薬と絆創膏をくれたので助かりました。
午後は自由行動だったので自転車を借りて海でシュノーケル。楽しめました

The car that was supposed to pick us up was over 20 minutes late, which made me very anxious thinking we might be left behind...

Parasailing itself was incredibly fun! There wasn't anyone who spoke Japanese, but the guide made an effort to communicate, and despite not understanding everything, we had a great time.
If you're planning to do this, it's best to wear something that you can easily take off since there are no changing facilities. You'll need to change on the boat!
Also, if you're prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking some medication beforehand. We saw about five groups, including ourselves, doing parasailing, so it can be quite intense.

迎えに来てくれる車が20分以上遅れてきたのが置いてかれたのかと思い大変不安に思いました…

パラセイリング自体はものすごく楽しかったです！日本語が話せる方がいなかったのですが、ガイドさんが頑張って話しかけてくれたりしてわからないながらに楽しく出来ました。
これからやる方がいれば、着替える場所がないのですぐ脱げるものを着ていった方がいいです。船の上での着替えになります！
そして、車酔い船酔い不安な方は酔い止め飲んでおいた方がいいかと思います。自分達を含め5組ぐらいパラセイリングをやってるのを見るので結構しんどいです。

While my husband was playing golf, my 9-year-old daughter and I participated together. My daughter usually handles quite intense roller coasters well, but this one seemed to scare her, and she was shaking while we were flying. It was more thrilling than I expected, but I enjoyed it.

The pickup was on time, and the guide only spoke English, but they really tried to lift everyone's spirits, which was fun. Overall, I'm glad we participated.

夫がゴルフをしている間に９歳の娘と二人で参加しました。
いつもかなりハードなジェットコースターでも大丈夫な娘ですが、これは怖かったようで飛んでいるあいだ震えてました。予想よりも迫力がありましたが、私は楽しめましたよ。
お迎えも時間通り、ガイドさんは英語のみですが、みなさんの気分を盛り上げようとしてくださって楽しかったです。
結果、参加して良かったです。

I can't forget the view of Diamond Head when I climbed up to 150 meters. I was especially moved when I could clearly see a rainbow from the board.

150メートルまで昇った時の、ダイヤモンドヘッドが忘れられません。しかもボードから虹がはっきり見えた時は感動したしました。

I participated with my father and son. All three of us were filled with anxiety as it was our first time snorkeling. In the end, we felt that we couldn't have done it without the guide! We didn't even know how to put on the wetsuits, and once we got into the water, we struggled to put on our fins due to the waves and ended up stumbling a lot. During those times, we received help multiple times. Especially my father, who is 70 years old, needed support in some areas. He also mentioned that he couldn't have done it without the guide! We were desperately trying to keep up with everyone, but the underwater scenery was more beautiful than we imagined, and it became the best memory of this trip! Thank you very much!

父と息子と私の三人で参加をさせて頂きました。
三人とも初めてのシュノーケリングで不安でいっぱいでした。結果としてガイドさん無しでは出来なかったという感想です！ウェットスーツの着用の仕方から分からず、また海に入ってから波に押されなかなかフィンが履けなかったりよろけてしまったり。そんな時に何度も助けて頂きました。特に父は70歳という年齢もありついていけないところもサポートして下さいました。父もガイドさん無しでは無理だった！と話していました。皆さんについていくのが必死でしたが、、海の中は想像以上に素敵でこの旅の1番の思い出となりました！！ありがとうございました！

The staff seemed to speak some Japanese, and although all the other customers were foreigners, they spoke to us in broken Japanese. They were also very good at getting everyone excited and creating a lively atmosphere on the boat. They took photos during the parasailing, which can be purchased for $30 on an SD card. The quality of the photos was just okay. The parasailing experience itself was less bumpy than I expected, and I enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

スタッフの方は日本語は多少話せるようで、他のお客さんは全員外国の人でしたけど、私達に話してくれるときには片言の日本語で話してくれました。また、すごく盛り上げ上手で船内を盛り上げてくれました。パラセイリング中の写真も撮ってくれて、購入する場合は30ドルでSDカードにて渡されます。写真の出来はまあまあといったところです。パラセイリングの体験自体は思ったよりも揺れはなく、良い景色を味わいました。

It was a 120m experience with my 11-year-old daughter. The captain was very friendly, and my daughter, who was a bit nervous, really enjoyed it. Although the weather was cloudy and not great, the view of Waikiki from high up was truly refreshing. I want to try the 150m experience next time! The $30 SD card had a lot of photos on it, which will be great memories. I gave the captain a tip when we got off the boat.

11歳の娘と2人で120mの体験でした。キャプテンが大変気さくな方で緊張気味の娘もとても楽しんでいました。曇り空でお天気がイマイチでしたが高い空からのワイキキの眺めは本当に気持ちが良かったです♪
今度は150mで体験したいです^_^
30ドルのSDカードにはたくさんの写真が入っていて思い出になります。ボートを降りる時にキャプテンにチップを渡しました。

We participated as a family of three (with a middle school daughter). We consulted with our guide, Mieko, about wanting to visit Kailua Town, and she gave us advice that allowed us to add bike rentals and extend our trip to Lanikai Beach and Kailua Town. Lanikai Beach has beautiful sand and clear water, and it was also less crowded, allowing us to relax. I'm glad we chose this course instead of the half-day option. There wasn't a single unnecessary item for enjoying the beach; everything was well thought out. The pizza for lunch was exquisite! The crust was perfectly baked, and we were amazed by its size, but we finished it all.

親子3人（娘中1生）で参加させて頂きました。
カイルアタウンも行きたいとガイドのみえこさんに相談し、アドバイスいただき、レンタサイクルを追加してでラニカイビーチ、カイルアタウンまで足を延ばすことができました。
ラニカイビーチは砂浜、海の綺麗さ素晴らしいです。また、人も少なくのんびりできました。半日コースではなくこちらのコースにしてよかったです。
ビーチアイテムも楽しむのに無駄なものは一つもなく、よく考えられているなと思いました。ランチもピザが絶品！生地がパリっと焼き上げられ大きいさに驚きながらも食べつくしました。

I hesitated about participating alone, but I'm really glad I tried it! First, there is time for the instructor to explain in detail how to use the paddle and the precautions. After that, we practice in the river before heading out to the ocean. It was clear that the instructor is very knowledgeable about the waves and wind, which made me feel safe and reassured. If you move as instructed, you can't go wrong!

For those who will be taking the SUP lesson, I prepared various things like a camera, hat, bath towel, and mat, but when we head out to the ocean, it's hands-free! I was told by the instructor several times to come with a strong mindset (laughs). The staff were all really bright and energetic, making it a fun memory in Kailua. I will definitely go again!

一人参加は迷いましたが、トライして本当に良かったです‼︎ まず、インストラクターの方から細かくパドルの使い方や注意事項を説明してくれる時間があります。その後 川で練習をしてから海へ出ます。インストラクターさんは波や風の事を大変熟知しておられるのだなというのが良くわかり安心しできました。言う通りに動けば間違い無し‼︎
これからサップレッスンを受けられる方へ、カメラや帽子やバスタオルや敷物…などなど色々私は準備しましたが海へ出る時は手ぶらです！強い気持ちを持って来て下さい←と何度もインストラクターさんに言われました（笑）スタッフの皆様本当に明るく元気でカイルアでの楽しい思い出になりました。また行きます‼︎

Just before leaving for our trip to Hawaii, my child suddenly expressed a desire to go parasailing! Since time was tight and I was unsure about being tied up for more than half a day, I decided to choose a nearby tour that seemed to have a good reputation.

I hurriedly made a reservation before our departure, but thanks to the detailed communication and arrangements from the staff, we were able to have a wonderful experience within our desired time and budget.

On the day of the tour, we walked to the tour company's ticket booth before the meeting time (it was a hotel we could walk to), handed over the documents, signed the consent form, and off we went on the boat to the sea. I think the ride lasted just over 10 minutes, but seeing Hawaii from above was an experience beyond my imagination.

The captain made the harness fitting process enjoyable with jokes, which made me feel at ease. Since the sun was quite strong that day, sunscreen is definitely a must depending on the weather. Also, the boat swayed quite a bit, so taking motion sickness medication beforehand would be a good idea.

The captain was full of humor, and the hour flew by from departure to return. If I have the opportunity next time, I would love to experience it again.

ハワイ旅行の出国寸前に突然子供からパラセイルをしたい！との要望が。
時間も迫っていたのと、半日以上拘束されるのもどうかなと思ったので、なるべく近場で更に評判の良さそうなツアーを選んでみました。
出国前にバタバタと予約を入れましたが、担当者の方の細かな連絡と手配により希望の時間と予算で素晴らしい体験を出来ました。
当日は、集合時間前にツアー会社のチケットブースにテクテク歩いて行き（徒歩で行けるホテルだったので）、書類を渡され同意書にサインをしていざボートで海へ。
時間的には10分強程度だったと思いますが、上空から見るハワイの空は想像以上に素晴らしい体験でした。
ハーネスの着用も船長がジョークを交えながら行ってくれて安心でした。
当日は日射しも強かったので、日焼け止めは天候によっては必需品かと思います。それと船で結構ゆらゆらと揺れるので酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が安心かと思います。
船長もユーモアたっぷりで、出港から帰港まであっという間の１時間でした。
次回も機会があれば、又体験したいと思います。

At 7 AM, we were picked up from the hotel and headed to Hanauma Bay, which has been selected as the No. 1 best beach. This shallow sea, formed from a collapsed volcanic crater, is teeming with fish. You can swim surprisingly close to them.

The reason for the early morning start is that the parking lot fills up quickly. Due to conservation efforts, the parking capacity is small, and once it reaches full capacity, the gates are closed. During this time before the summer vacation in Japan, there are fewer Japanese tourists, and many locals are present. Also, there are plenty of cats on the beach.

And guess what!! A large guest, a seal, was there. Previously, they could only be seen a few times a year, but now it seems they are visiting almost every day.

Chieko from Blue Hawaii Divers kindly explained how to use the snorkel, and as soon as I dipped my face into the water, I could see fish right in front of me at a depth where I could still stand. As I continued swimming among the schools of fish, I finally spotted a sea turtle. Since it was featured in the educational video about Hanauma Bay, I kept my distance and was able to swim alongside it.

早朝7時のホテルピックアップでNo.1ベストビーチにも選ばれたハナウマ湾に。元々火口だったところが落ち込んでできた遠浅の海に魚がいっぱい。
びっくりするくらい近くで泳ぐことがでできます。

朝がやたらと早い理由は駐車場がいっぱいになってしまうからだそう。
自然保護のためか駐車場のキャパシティーが小さいので、いっぱいになった時点でゲートを閉じてしまうそうです。
日本の学校の夏休み前のこの時期は日本人が少なく、地元の人がいっぱい。そしてビーチには猫もいっぱい。

そしてなんと！！大きな先客、アザラシ君が。
以前は年数回しか見られなかった彼らですが、今ならほぼ毎日と言っていいくらい訪れているみたいです。

ブルーハワイダイバーズのチエコさんが丁寧にシュノーケルの説明をしてくれ、軽く水面に顔をつけると足の着く深さにももうすぐ目の前に魚が。
魚群の中泳ぎ続けるとようやくウミガメが。
ハナウマ湾の教育ビデオにもあったので遠巻きにして、一緒に泳ぐことができました。

I swam with about 10 participants and 2 instructors. The sea was beautiful and clear, and just swimming felt really good. On that day, I was surprised to see a seal napping on the beach. I couldn't find a sea turtle right away, but I was glad to see one in the end. The sea turtles are cute, and even with people around, they swim gracefully, making it fun to swim alongside them. I probably wouldn't have been able to find them on my own. It's important to remember to wear your swimsuit under your clothes, as there may not be time to change.

10人くらいの参加者と2人のインストラクターで泳ぎました。海は綺麗で澄んでいて、ただ泳いでいるだけでとても気持ち良かったです。
この日は、なんとアザラシがビーチでお昼寝をしていて、びっくりしました。
海亀はすぐには見つかりませんでしたが、最後に見つかって良かったです。
海亀はかわいくて、人が周りにいても優雅に泳いでいるので、楽しく一緒に泳げました。
たぶん個人では絶対に見つけられなかったとおもいます。
水着は、服の下に着て行くのを忘れると、着替える時間がないので注意が必要です。

My perspective on life has changed.

It's not scary at all.

Your viewpoint and stance will change.

There is a shuttle service, which makes it easy.

You take off your shoes and go barefoot. Your clothes will get wet.

When you land, your butt will briefly touch the water with a splash.

For changing, let's go with swimwear and shorts.

人生観が変わりました

全然怖く無いですよ

視点と視座が変わります。

I was able to make effective use of my free time by waking up early and flying at a great deal! The location was also nearby, so there was no travel time involved. The service was friendly, which made me feel at ease. The weather wasn't great, but the breeze was very pleasant.

隙間時間を有効に使えるので早起きしてお得に飛べました！場所も近場なので移動時間もかかりません。
接客もフレンドリーで、安心できます。
天気はイマイチでしたが風がとても気持ちよかったです。

It was my first fishing trip in Hawaii. The catch was good, and the view from the sea was amazing. The only downside was that the equipment was not great.

ハワイでの初釣りでした。
釣果も良かったし海から見る景色も最高でした。唯一道具が悪いのが残念でした。

Above all, you can enjoy activities just beyond Waikiki Beach, and of course, you can see Diamond Head as well. The crew's humorous and friendly service was great. The mother at the reception, the father handling the transportation, and the family-like atmosphere made it safe and welcoming.

何といってもワイキキビーチのその先でアクティビティーが出来、もちろんダイヤモンドヘッドも見えるし、クルーの方々のユーモアあふれる対応が良かったです。受付のお母さん、送迎はお父さん、操縦はファミリーとアットホームで安全でした。

We signed up as a family of six, and my elderly mother joined us for the tour while five of us, including my two elementary school-aged sons, participated! With the support of our guide Chieko, even as a beginner, I was able to see not only sea turtles but also many beautiful fish! We swam for about an hour, and my younger son, who is in lower elementary school, had to take a break and head back to the beach, but I was really glad we got to see the sea turtles before that.

Even if you're not confident in your swimming skills, there's no need to worry about drowning; as long as you can breathe calmly through your mouth, you should be fine. There will be explanations during the preparation phase, but since we swim close to the rocky areas and the water temperature is lower in the morning, I think it's better for those who are concerned to rent a wetsuit.

I was tired, but I was truly satisfied to see the underwater world that I've only seen on TV. After the tour, my two sons immediately bought snorkeling sets at ABC Store. If I have the chance, I would definitely like to participate again.

家族6人で申し込み、1人年配の母は見学で小学生2人の息子を含む5名で参加しました！
ガイドのchiekoさんのサポートもあり、初心者私も含めてウミガメはもちろん、綺麗な魚をたくさん見ることが出来ました！
約1時間泳ぎっぱなしになるので低学年の次男は途中で浜辺へ引き上げましたが、その前にウミガメが見れて本当に良かったです。
泳ぎに自信がなくても溺れる心配はなく、落ち着いて口呼吸さえできれば問題ないと思います。
準備段階で説明がありますが、岩場のすぐそばを泳ぐこと、午前中は水温も低めのため気になる方はウエットスーツをレンタルされた方が良いと思います。

疲れましたが、テレビ等でしか見たことのない海の中を実際に見れて本当に満足です。
息子2人はツアー終了後、早速ABCストアでシュノーケリングセットを購入しました。
機会があれば、ぜひまた参加したいと思います。

I participated at 120M. I had some anxiety before the pickup, but since all the participants were Japanese and the captain was friendly, I felt at ease! The boat goes fast and rocks quite a bit. When one group took off, the participants clapped and chatted, so by the time it was our turn to fly, my nerves had eased. I was worried until the day before because I have a fear of heights and thought I shouldn't have made the reservation... but once I actually flew, the fun outweighed the fear! It didn't feel that high; I couldn't even tell if the water was below us. If you're lucky, you can see planes flying close by. A few minutes go by in the blink of an eye. At the end, there’s a splashdown, so you will get wet. When being driven back, the car seat got wet, so it's better to bring a towel. I gave a $10 tip when getting off the boat. I also purchased the photo service for $30, and it was definitely worth it as a keepsake! I want to do parasailing again. I highly recommend this activity.

120Mで参加しました。ピックアップ前から不安がありましたが、参加者がみんな日本人だったのとキャプテンが気さくな方だったので安心して臨めました！
船はスピードが早く結構揺れます。
1組が飛ぶと参加者の方同士で拍手したり話したりしていたので自分達が飛ぶ頃には緊張がほぐれてました。高所恐怖症の為、やっぱり予約しなければよかった‥などと前日まで不安でしたがいざ飛んでみると恐怖よりも楽しさが！下が水面なのか？それほど高く感じませんでした。運が良ければ飛行機が間近で飛ぶのを見れます(^^)数分間があっという間です。最後は着水があるので濡れます。帰り送ってもらう時車のシートが濡れてしまうので、タオルは持って行った方が良いです。船から降りる時にはチップを10ドル渡しました。写真サービスも30ドルで購入しましたが、記念に購入しておいて正解です！！パラセーリングまたやりたいです。おすすめのアクティビティです。

I thought it was a cruiser around 11.5 to 12 meters, but it was just under 7 meters. I expected to have a bit of a serious fishing experience, but I ended up not even touching the fishing rod. The family of three that came with us put their catch back on the floor of the boat, and there was a smell; it was pretty bad. Next time, I hope they create a more advanced and serious tour. Thank you. However, for small children, the fun of a rocking boat and catching small fish could become a memorable experience.

I had my two children take one-on-one lessons. Both the staff and surfers were friendly. My kids were able to stand up during the lesson and have developed a liking for surfing. I think the most challenging part of surfing is paddling, but the surfers pull you back out to the ocean after riding the waves, making it easier to focus solely on surfing. They don't help adults much with paddling, though! I will definitely use this service again when I go to Hawaii.

I participated in the 150m tour. There were a total of 8 participants on the boat, and everyone except us was foreign. The tour was conducted entirely in English, but the atmosphere made it manageable. Those who struggle with English might find it difficult.

The scenery during the parasailing was very beautiful. However, at 150m above the ground, we were hit by heavy rain and strong winds, which caused significant turbulence. It was quite scary. On the other hand, the rain created a rainbow, and I had the rare experience of looking down at a rainbow.

Since the actual flying time isn't very long, the cost-performance ratio might not be very good.

150mに参加しました。
船に乗ったのは、ツアー参加者は計８人で、私たち以外は外人の方でした。
ツアーは、終始英語で進行しますが、雰囲気でなんとかなります。辛い人は辛いと思います。

実際のパラセーリングでは、景色がとても綺麗でした。
しかし、150m上空で、大雨と強風に見舞われ、相当に揺れるというトラブルもありました。結構怖かったです。
一方で、雨によって虹が発生し、虹を下に見下ろすという貴重な体験ができました。

実際に飛んでいる時間はあまり長くない為、コスパはあまり良くないかも知れません。

I was worried because I don't have a high income, but I was able to go up without feeling scared, and I enjoyed the best feeling! Before and after parasailing, I was taken by a boat, but the waves were quite rough and intense, so I got seasick! Also, if you wish, they will take photos for you, but it's $30 for cash and $35 for credit, so it's better to bring some cash, including tips.

高い所得意でないので、やらまで不安でしたが、怖がる間も無く上に上がっていけるので、最高の気分を楽しめました！
パラセイリングする前後に花で連れて行ってもらうのですが、そちらが結構波が荒く激しいので、船酔いしました！
あと、希望すれば写真を撮る撮ってくれるのですが、現金だと30ドルでクレジットだと35ドルなので、現金は、チップも含めてある程度持って行った方が良いです。

Wow! I didn't expect to experience such a refreshing feeling! We went out on a motorboat off the coast of Waikiki and went up with a parachute, getting a fantastic view of the city from the sea. I highly recommend it!

いやぁ！あんなに爽快感味わえると思いませんでした(#^.^#)モーターボートでワイキキ沖に出て、パラシュート？で上に上がってワイキキの街を海から見放題(#^.^#)お薦めです(#^.^#)

I was surprised by how much speed I picked up!
I used the oars to paddle until we got out to sea.
I also enjoyed the sensation of being slammed down onto the water's surface when hitting larger waves.
Even for those who can't surf, it was a refreshing experience that allowed me to understand the feelings of surfers!

思いの外スピードが出たのでビックリしました！
沖に出るまでオールを使って漕いでいきます。
大きめの波に当たると落差でドンと水面に叩きつけられる感覚も楽しめました。
サーフィンが出来ない人でもサーファーの気持ちがわかるような、爽快感のある体験ができました！

I was a bit anxious because the shuttle didn't arrive at the pickup location even after some time, but after waiting for a few minutes, it finally came to pick us up. For parasailing, I decided to go for the height of 150 meters since I was there. I was excited from the moment they put on the parachute, and once we took off, we quickly ascended high into the sky, revealing a breathtaking view that spread out before me. It felt wonderful to be so high up, and I wanted to keep flying forever. My husband seemed very satisfied as well.

At the end, we had a lot of fun splashing in the water up to our waists. I'm glad I participated; it became a wonderful memory.

On the way back, there were a few people who looked exhausted from seasickness. Fortunately, the weather was good and the waves weren't too high this time, but the boat does rock a lot, so I think it's better for anyone who isn't confident to take motion sickness medication in advance.

ピックアップ場所に時間が過ぎても送迎車が来なくてひやひやしましたが、数十分待って無事に迎えがきました。パラセイリングの高さはせっかくならと１５０ｍで参加。パラシュートを装着するところからわくわくし、飛び立ったと思ったらぐんぐんと高く上がり目の前にはとても綺麗な景色がいっきに広がり感動しました。とても高く上がるので気持ちが良く、いつまでも飛んでいたくなります。主人も大満足だったようです。
最後に腰の上あたりまでボチャンもしてもらって盛り上がりました。
参加して良かったです。とても良い思い出になりました。

帰り際には船酔いでぐったりされている方が数名いました。今回お天気がよくそこまで波は高くありませんでしたが、船はよく揺れるので自信がある方以外は事前に酔い止めを飲んでおいたほうが良いと思います。

In the afternoon session I participated in, there were two Japanese and five foreigners. I joined alone and was worried because I’m not very good at swimming and don’t have much stamina, but Chieko and Dan helped me throughout, and I was able to enjoy it until the end. The sand was swirling, so the visibility wasn’t excellent, but I was able to see many beautiful fish and sea turtles. They also took photos, which can be downloaded for free from Facebook, so I think that’s considerate. It was a hot summer day, but there were many cold spots in the sea, and I often found myself shivering. Out of the seven participants, five were able to swim from one end of Hanauma Bay to the other. This was my second time participating in a snorkeling tour, and I felt that you really need to be able to swim to some extent and have stamina to enjoy it fully. Overall, I was very satisfied with the tour and had a great time.

私の参加した午後の部は、日本人２名、外国人５名でした。私は１人参加で、泳ぎも得意なほうではなく、体力もあまりないため、心配していましたが、チエコさん、ダンさんに終始手を引いていただき、何とか最後まで楽しむことが出来ました。砂が舞っていて透明度は抜群とは言えませんでしたが、たくさんのキレイなお魚や海ガメも見ることが出来ました。写真も撮っていただき、Facebookから無料でDL出来るので、良心的だと思います。夏の暑い日ではありましたが、海は冷たいところも多くあり、震えることも多かったです。７名中５名は、ハナウマ湾の端から端まで泳げました。シュノーケリングツアーに参加するのが２回目でしたが、やはりある程度、泳げて、体力もないと厳しいと感じました。ツアー自体は、とても満足がいったし、楽しかったです。

On our honeymoon, we challenged ourselves with 120m! From Waikiki, we had a beautiful view of Diamond Head, and it was the best scenery! The wind felt nice too. During the trip, I experienced a bit of seasickness, but the staff were friendly and welcoming, which made me feel better. While parasailing, there was less swaying than I expected, and I truly enjoyed it! Since it was my husband's birthday, it was really the best memory!

ハネムーンで、120mに挑戦しました！ワイキキからダイヤモンドヘッド一面が綺麗に一望でき、最高の眺めでした！風も気持ち良かったです。移動中は、少し船酔いがありましたが、スタッフの方が笑顔で親しみやすく対応してくれたので、気分が良くなりました。パラセーリング中は、思ったより揺れなどなく、心から楽しめました！夫が誕生日だったこともあり、本当に最高の思い出です♪

The view of Oahu Island from the sea was amazing. The crew was also fun and hospitable. I bought a photo SD card for $30. I'm worried about whether the pictures turned out well, but I bought it as a keepsake. (laughs) It feels great! You should definitely do it!

海から眺めるオアフ島は、最高でした。
クルーの方も楽しくもてなしてくれます。
写真のSDカード30$で購入 ちゃんと写っているか心配ですが記念に購入しちゃいました。（笑） 気持ちいいですよ！やるべき

If you're going to Hawaii, surfing is a must. In fact, I had been taken surfing three times by a junior colleague from my company before, but I couldn't manage to take off and had given up. However, I decided to join this opportunity.

I participated alone, but the driver who picked me up and the receptionist explained everything in Japanese, which was a great help since I don't understand any English at all.

Finally, we headed to the ocean at Waikiki. I received a brief lecture in English on the beach and then we quickly went into the water. The surf point was quite far from the shore, and I paddled out, but at 50 years old, I found it pretty tiring. I couldn't help but say "very tired," and the instructor responded with a smile.

I faced the board towards the shore, waited for the waves, and the nice instructor timed it perfectly, telling me when to paddle and when to go, and I successfully took off. I was so worried about taking off, but I managed to do it from the first try, and it was incredibly fun and exhilarating.

One thing to note is that while it's fine to stand, there are many rocks, so I think I need to be careful as my feet ended up all scratched. However, the waves weren't too high, and with the instructor's good timing, I believe anyone can stand up.

It was a fantastic experience. Thank you!

ハワイに行くならサーフィン
実は以前に会社の後輩に３回ほど連れて行ってもらいましたがテイクオフ出来ず諦めていたのですがこのチャンスにと参加しました
一人で参加しましたがピックアップの運転手さん受付の人が日本語で説明していただき全く英語がわからない僕ですが助かりました
いざワイキキの海へ
海岸で英語で軽くレクチャーを受け早速海へ
ポイントは岸からかなり遠くパドリングで向かいましたが50才の僕には結構疲れ"very tired"と思わず発するとニッコリと笑顔で答えられる
ボードを岸に向け波待ちインストラクターのナイスガイがタイミングをみてパドリングそしてGoと指示してもらいテイクオフ成功
あれだけ悩んでいたテイクオフが1度目から出来とても楽しく気持ち良かったです
ひとつだけ、足はつくのはいいのだが岩が多いので足が傷だらけになるので気を付けなければいけないと思います
しかし波もそんなに高くなくインストラクターのタイミングがいいので絶対に立てると思います
とても良かったですありがとうございます
