All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

The event was held even in light rain. The April rain was a bit chilly. I experienced the 120m, and it felt great. If it had been sunny, it might have been an even more spectacular view! Maybe I should have gone for the 150m!

小雨でも開催。4月の雨はちょっと寒かったです。120mを体験しました。気持ちよかった。晴れていたら、さらに絶景だったのかな♡150mにしてもよかったかも！

We participated as a couple in our 50s along with our son. Besides us, there were a family of three and two honeymoon couples. Since it was mentioned in the comments, we decided to challenge the 150m! It was incredibly fun and felt great. We had a wonderful experience. The shuttle car was clean, and our driver, Mr. Yano, was cheerful and entertaining. The boat was also clean, and the crew was lively and made it a fantastic time. Our son and his partner even got playfully splashed, which became a great memory of the trip. We definitely want to participate again! ^ ^

50代夫婦&息子カップルで参加しました。私たちの他には3人連れの親子さん、ハネムーンカップル2組が一緒でした。コメにもあったので、折角なので150mに挑戦！最高に楽しかったです。そして気持ちよかった。良い体験をしました。送迎の車も綺麗で運転手の『やのさん』明るく楽しませてくれました。ボートも綺麗でクルーも明るく盛り上げて下さりステキな時間でした。
息子カップルもワザとお尻をドボンされて、これも旅の良い想い出になったようです。
また是非参加したいです^ ^

I felt a bit anxious because I had to wait a few minutes after checking in. However, the person who assisted me was a foreigner, but very kind and even taught me a little Japanese, so I was able to get on the ride right away! I had plenty of fun by myself!

最初受付をしてから何分か待たされたので少し不安になりました。ですが、教えてくれる方は外国の方ですが、とても優しく少し日本語でも教えてくれて一発目で乗れました！一人で十分楽しめました！

We did the snorkeling tour with Chieko and Dan and it was amazing. Their help and information was appreciated. My boyfriend was terrified of sinking and Dan explained it thoroughly which gave him the confidence he needed to do it. We saw sooo many out of this world fish it was like an acquarium, and even a turtle! We had plenty of time to explore the entire bay and you go plenty deep to see some amazing marine life. It was a once in a lifetime experience so thankyou Blue Hawaii Divers!

It was great that the hotel we were staying at was close to the meeting point, so we could go without a shuttle! By the way, it's a hotel within Hilton Hawaiian Village, and it takes less than five minutes to walk there. The instructor spoke broken Japanese, but their friendly personality made it enjoyable! With the early morning plan and discounts available, I think it's quite a good deal since you can make the most of your day.

泊まってるホテルが集合場所に近かったので、送迎なしで行けたのも、良かったです！ちなみにヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ内のホテルですが、歩いても5分もかからないです。インストラクターの人もカタコトの日本語ですが、楽しませようとする人柄も良かったです！早朝プランで、割引きも有り、1日をフルに使えるので、かなりお得かと思います。

My first parasailing experience! The staff were locals and explained everything in English, which made me a bit anxious, but they kindly guided us even though we couldn't speak English, so there were no issues! The time spent in the air was longer than I expected and very comfortable! If you have a GoPro or similar device, I highly recommend bringing it! I only had my phone, so I had to leave it behind, but a Japanese couple who participated with us kindly took some photos of me from below with my phone! I have the stunning views etched in my memory, but I do regret not being able to capture the scenery from above in photos!

初のパラセーリング！
スタッフの方は現地の方で説明は全て英語で少し不安もありましたが、英語が話せない私たちにも優しく誘導してくださり問題なかったです！
空にいる時間は思ったよりも長く非常に快適でした！ゴープロなど持ってる方はぜひ持っていった方が良いです！私は携帯のみしかなかったので携帯は置いていくことになり、たまたま一緒に参加した日本人夫婦の方が私の携帯で下からの写真を少し撮って下さいました！
絶景は目に焼き付けましたが、上からの景色を写真におさめたかったなぁとそこだけ後悔です！

I participated on the first day of my arrival in Hawaii, and the weather was nice and pleasant. The kids were also happy, so I'm glad I joined.

ハワイ到着初日に参加しましたが、天気もよく気持ちよかった。
子供たちも喜んでいたので、参加してよかったです。

Due to abnormal weather, we had to switch to a river experience instead of the ocean. In the morning, we had free time, so I explored the beach by bike. For lunch, I had a rather average pizza that felt very American, and then we headed to the experience. The strong winds made the return quite challenging, but our guide shared various explanations about the surrounding facilities and plants, which helped my 65-year-old mother complete the experience without falling into the water. It's just a shame about the weather. I would like to try the ocean on a sunny day in the future.

異常気象で海が大荒れのため川での体験になりました。
午前中はフリータイムにしてもらったので、自転車でビーチを散策。
お昼は米国っぽい可もなく不可もないピザを食べて、いざ体験へ。
風が強かったので帰りは中々大変でしたが、ガイドさんがいろいろと周辺の施設や植物などの説明など語りかけてもらったので、６５歳の母も水に落ずにしっかり完走することができました。天気だけがとても残念です。
今後は晴れた日に海へトライしてみたいです。

Had a great time. Crew were very friendly and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this experience to anyone. Laughed learned and had a wonderful time with my entire family.

The lesson method is somewhat forceful for beginners. We understand English, but it seems the instructor found it tedious to explain, as they rushed through without much explanation, insisting we learn by doing. I signed up hoping to create wonderful memories with a long-time friend, but since it was at the beach and there was only one instructor, I can't say I felt completely at ease. The session was also shorter than the time stated in the materials. The rash guard felt like just a T-shirt, and it became somewhat heavy when wet. It's strange that there are only positive reviews, perhaps due to the Japanese tendency. While we were able to ride the waves, I have to rate it lower for the peace of mind aspect. We hope for a safe and comfortable trip.

初心者にはやや強引なレッスン方法。
私たちは英語がわかるけどインストラクターの方は説明するのが面倒くさいのか、あまり説明すらなく体で覚えろとばかりにどんどん進んでいきます。今回は長い付き合いの友人と最高の思い出作りにと思い申し込みましたが、海だしインストラクターが一人しかついて居らっしゃらないので安心して出来たかと言えば…。資料に乗っていた時間より短かったですし。
ラッシュガードもただのTシャツ？という感じで水を含むとやや重いです。
日本人の性格なのか、良い口コミしかないのが不思議です。
波には乗れたけど、安心面として評価は低めに設定させて頂きます。
私たちは安心で快適な旅を希望します。

Since I came all the way to Hawaii, I decided to try learning how to surf. The board is big and heavy, which makes it stable, and I was able to stand up after just a few tries. You just go straight, but the beach is shallow, so even when you go out, you can stand up, and while paddling, the board's fins and your hands can touch the coral reef. So, you need to be careful of injuries when you fall. They lend you surf shoes at the school, but be cautious about everything else. However, this year in Hawaii is cold, and the water is chilly—hypothermia? After about an hour in the water, I started to shiver.

せっかくハワイに来るのだから、サーフィンを覚えようと行ってみました。
でかくて重いボードなので、安定していて数回で立てるようになります。まっすぐ進むだけですけど、現場のビーチは遠浅で沖に出ても、立てますしパドリング中ボードのフィンや手が珊瑚礁に触れます。ですのでひっくりかえったときは怪我に注意が必要です。足はサーフシューズをスクールで貸してくれますが、その他は気をつけましょう。ただ今年のハワイは寒い、水も冷たい、低体温症？　一時間ほど浸かっていると震えてきました。

We participated as a pair, and there were only two groups of participants, including us, which made it a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The guide and the other guests were foreigners who couldn't speak Japanese, but it was no problem as long as they understood simple English. With fewer people, it felt like we could take our time during the main parasailing activity. It was high and scary, but I felt like we were flying for quite a long time. If I have the chance to go during the off-season, I would love to go again.

2人で参加しましたが、参加者が私たちを含め2組しかおらずのんびり楽しかったです。
ガイドさんももう一組のお客さんも外国人で日本語が喋れない人たちでしたが、簡単な英語がわかれば全然問題ありません。
人が少ない分、メインのパラセイリングものんびり出来ていたような気がします。高くて怖かったけど、結構長時間飛べていた気がします。
オフシーズンにいくことがあれば、また行ってみたいです。

I experienced the 120m. Even as someone with acrophobia, I had no issues being over the ocean. The staff were friendly and kind. I think it's a memorable activity. I recommend it.

120mを体験しました。高所恐怖症の私でも海の上だと問題ありませんでした。スタッフの方々も気さくに親切にしてくれます。記憶に残るアクティビティだと思います。お勧めです

I made a reservation here after checking the weather on a nice day just in case. The weather was good and the waves were calm, which was great. Although they didn't speak Japanese, it wasn't a problem.

あらかじめ、天気の良い日を一応確認してからこちらで予約しました。天気も良く波も穏やかでよかったです。日本語は通じませんが、問題は無かったです。

My first paddleboarding experience, I’m 60 and my wife is trying it for the first time. There was a brief lecture, but experience is what matters most. We had a lesson just for the two of us from a teacher who spoke broken Japanese, and then we headed out to the sea.

It was quite challenging to maintain balance. Even when I finally managed to stand, it was difficult to paddle and move forward. Surprisingly, my wife was able to stand up quite easily. I’m glad we had a kind teacher.

はじめてのパドルボード、私は60.妻は初めてのボード体験。簡単なレクチャーはありましたがとにかく経験が大事。カタコトの日本語の先生から二人だけでレッスンを受けて海へ。
なかなかバランスが難しい。やっとスタンド出来てもパドルで漕いで進むのが難しい。
妻は意外と簡単にスタンドアップ出来ました。
優しい先生で良かった。

The whole experience was fantastic...from the crew who were extremely helpful to the accommodations. Boat was new, not overcrowded. Ride went from the harbor to Diamond head. Saw turtles, fish and even a pod of dolphins. Captain provided good information. Definately recommend.

It was disappointing that the instructor who was in charge seemed to favor my beautiful friend. My friend also noticed this and mentioned that the treatment felt unnatural. Even though it was my first time, for some reason, my friend was leading while I was left stranded in the middle of the ocean, being told to make my way back on my own, which made me anxious several times. ^^ There were also many photos of my friend. Since the service was inconsistent, I’m giving it a lower rating. I do not recommend it.

担当してくださった講師の先生は美人な友人に贔屓めだったのが残念。友人もそれには気付いていたようで対応が不自然だと言っていました。初めてなのになぜか友人だけリードして私だけ海の真ん中に取り残されて自力で来いと言われて不安になった事が何度も^^;写真も友人が多かったです。対応にムラがあるので星は少なめ。お勧めはしません。

I would recommend this adventure our photographer was amazing he got a school of dolphins too.There was an octopus right with my husband and the photographer there and turtles.Lots of beautiful fish.

Although the cloudy weather was disappointing, the staff were delightful and our conversations mixed with Japanese made for a very enjoyable time. Watching others from the boat, I was surprised at how quickly they ascended, but in reality, it was a smooth ascent without feeling any G-forces, which was very pleasant. They kindly took photos with my camera, and I highly recommend this experience. Don't forget to tip!

曇天模様は残念でしたが、スタッフが愉快な人で日本語交じりのおしゃべり、とても楽しいひと時でした。
他の方をボートから見ていると速いスピードで上がっていくのでビックリ、しかし実際はスーと上がっていきＧも感じずとても気持ちよかったです。
持ち込んだカメラで快く写真も撮っていただき、おススメだと思います。くれぐれもチップは忘れずに！

I went surfing for the first time in my life. For a guy nearing his sixties, it was definitely a bit of a tough activity. But it was so much fun!

生まれて初めてサーフィンをしました。還暦近いおじさんにはさすがに少々ハードな遊びです。でも最高に楽しかった！

It was pouring rain on the way there, which was disappointing, but by the time we arrived, the rain had stopped. I felt reassured to see several staff members who spoke fluent Japanese. We rented bicycles from Kailua Adventure. Although the waves were high and we couldn't enjoy snorkeling, we had a great time shopping and cycling. Since we had a long stay, we were able to enjoy a variety of activities.

向かう時は土砂降りで、残念な気持ちでしたが、到着したら雨が上がっていました。スタッフさんに日本語ペラペラな方が数人みえて　安心でした。レンタサイクルもカイルア・アドベンチャーさんでお借りしました。波が高くてシュノーケリングは楽しめなかったけど、ショッピングやサイクリングを満喫しました。滞在時間が長いからいろいろ楽しめますよ

Would definitely recommend this activity to do it was amazing the crew were fantastic

If you're going to fly, of course, aim for 150m.
The clear weather and height provided an amazing view.
The staff were also great, taking photos with us.

飛ぶならもちろん150m。
晴天、高さもあって眺めが最高でした。
スタッフも一緒に写真とってくれるなど対応も良かったです。

The waiting time on the boat was quite shaky and a bit tough, but once I floated up into the sky with the parachute, I was able to take my time enjoying the scenery. It was truly a perfect expression of a walk in the sky.

ボートの上での待ち時間はかなりの揺れで少し辛かったが、パラシュートでふんわりと空の上に上がってからはゆっくり景色を見る事が出来て、空の散歩という表現がぴったりでした。

The rain has stopped, but the wind was strong due to the clouds, and it was cold enough to make me feel like I was freezing. Some participants were wearing down jackets because of the cold. The waves were high from the wind, and the sea water was murky with low visibility. Also, tips are not included in the tour fee, so I intended to give a tip, but the pressure for tips was overwhelming and took away from the experience.

雨は止みましたが、雲で風が強く、寒くて凍えそうでした。
寒くて一部参加者はダウンジャケットを着ていました。
風で波が高く、海の水は濁り、透明度はあまりありませんでした。
それとチップはツアー代金に含まれていないので渡すつもりでしたが、
チップの催促がすごくて興醒めしました。

Incredible, awesome, different and the crew are OUTSTANDING!
My 2nd time, and I brought along 23 people with me and again it was GREAT. All our first timers LOVED it. It was rough seas from a severe storm the two previous days, which affected seeing the crater on the sea floor, but lots of fish were out to play. Saw quite a few turtles too.
All my guests said it was TERRIFIC and they had a ball!!
The crew are always smiling, helpful and FUN!!!
Thanks again guys!!!

Absolutely fantastic experience. The guys that looked after us were fabulous. Would easily do it again.

For someone that has never snorkeled or dove before, this was amazing and makes me want to get my diving certification! It was so easy, the crew was great and I just don't have enough words to describe how awesome it was. We saw squid, turtles and loads of colorful fish! I would do this over and over again!

Thanks Taylor for a great day and super photos and videos!

With clear skies and a gentle breeze, the view of Diamond Head and the hotel towers while heading out to sea on a motorboat was exhilarating. There were eight participants, taking off two at a time into the sky. The tension when taking off from the boat was thrilling—“Oh!”—it was unforgettable. After that, it felt like a dream. We are a couple celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary, and we truly had a wonderful experience. The staff was kind and humorous, and there was nothing to complain about. The 150 meters was the most enjoyable part.

快晴微風、モーターボートでワイキキ沖に向かう時のダイアモンドヘッド、ホテルのタワー群の景色に、気分は盛り上がりました。
　参加者は８人で２人づつ大空へ。ボートからテークオーフする時の緊張感が「オーッツ！」、たまらない。それからは夢心地でした。
　ちょうど結婚５０年の夫婦ですが、まことにいい体験をさせていただきました。スタッフも親切でユーモラスで申し分ありませんでした。１５０ｍが一番楽しめそうです。

Guide (Kevin) was very professional, informative and accommodating. This tour is a great way to explore the north shore area.
