All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I was worried about the weather not being very good, but I signed up three days ago and participated. After it ended, we dispersed at the location, but since it was close to the Hilton, I was able to walk back to Waikiki and have lunch.

お天気があまり良くなく大丈夫かどうか心配でしたが、3日前に申し込みしての参加でした。終了後は現地解散でしたが場所がヒルトンの近くだったのでワイキキまで歩いて戻りランチできました。

I was a bit worried about the weather, but it held up nicely. The other group was a bit too over the top, which made me feel a little uncomfortable, but we were able to enjoy ourselves properly.

お天気がどうかな？と怪しかったのですがどうにかもって良かったです。
他のグループの方が弾け過ぎていてちょっと引いてしまいましたが、わたし達はちゃんとたのしめました。

The boat crew and divers were friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. We definitely want to do again and bring our whole family. Experiencing close encounters with sea turtles, sea stars, and numerous species of fish was thrilling. The crew has 7 scuba scooters with a diver to assist each scooter. The divers make sure each participant is safe, feels comfortable, and points out the aquatic life while also allowing independent discovery. While waiting your turn to scooter, we had a wonderful time snorkeling on our own. The waters are clear and beautiful and allow perfect visibility. For an extra fee you can get pictures and a video of your adventure. The diver captured some of my favorite vacation pictures!

It was my first time paragliding, and I had a lot of fun. There was also a pick-up service to the hotel, and the local staff were very entertaining and made the experience enjoyable. It would have been even better if the weather had been nice!

初めてのパラセイリングでしたが、
とても楽しかったです。
ホテルまで送迎もあり、現地の担当の方もすごく楽しませて頂き、面白かったです。
天気が良ければもっとよかったです！

My first surfing experience became a wonderful memory. Before I started, I was worried about whether I could ride the waves, but the instructor taught me patiently, and I was able to enjoy surfing with my friends. Some of the instructors spoke Japanese, so even if you're not very good at English, I think you'll have a great time. I was able to have photos taken while I was surfing, and I received them for free afterward. It was a bit disappointing that it was cold. Next time, I want to be able to ride bigger waves.

初めてのサーフィンは、良い思い出となりました。始める前は波に乗れるか不安でしたが、インストラクターの方に丁寧に教えていただき、友人と楽しくサーフィンをすることができました。インストラクターの方の中には、日本語を話すことのできる方もおられ、英語があまり得意でなくとも、楽しめると思います。サーフィンを体験しているときの写真を撮ってもらうことができ、終わった後に無料でいただくことができました。寒かった点が少し残念でした。次回はもう少し大きな波に乗れるようになりたいです。

I participated in a 120M parasailing with my daughter early in the morning. Under the guidance of two cheerful instructors, we headed out to the vast ocean.

Parasailing while gazing at Diamond Head was amazing. The 8 minutes felt incredibly long. I was a bit concerned about seasickness, but it wasn't a problem at all. It might have been due to the waves that day.

Thank you for the wonderful time!

早朝１２０Mのパラセイリングに娘と参加。
陽気なインストラクター二人のガイドの元、大海原へ。。

ダイアモンドヘッドを眺めつつのパラセイリングは最高でした。
８分間がものすごく長く感じました。
船酔いが気になりましたが、特に問題はありませんでした。
その日の波の揺れによるかもしれません。

楽しい時間をありがとうございました！

The staff member was handsome and very accommodating. It was reassuring that he could speak a little Japanese. I would like to go again.

お兄さんがイケメンで対応が良かったです。
日本語も少し話せるようでしたので安心でした。また行きたいです。

The pickup bus was late, which made me a bit anxious, but the staff were very friendly and it turned out to be a fun time! While waiting to board the boat, they entertained us by letting us feed the fish! Parasailing was absolutely amazing! It was such a luxurious experience to look out over Waikiki from the sky in the morning! During the parasailing, the ascent was slow and there were no sudden jolts, so I felt stable and was able to fully enjoy the scenery without any fear!

迎えのバスがピックアップより遅くてヒヤヒヤしましたが、送迎の方が外国の方でしたがとっても感じよく楽しい時間でした！ボートに乗るまでの時間も魚にエサをあげたりと楽しませてくれました！パラセイリングはもう最高です！朝から海の空でワイキキを眺められるなんて贅沢な時間でした！パラセイリング中、上がるのもゆっくりで急な揺れなどもなく安定飛行で恐怖心もなく景色をしっかり楽しめました！

Everyone was very friendly out on the boats and helped us with whatever we needed!

The arrangements were smooth. The pickup and drop-off after arrival were also seamless, making it a great value and very convenient. I will definitely use this service again next time.

手配までもスムーズです。到着後もスムーズに送迎してもらえるので料金もお得で大変便利でした。次回もまた利用させて頂きます。

I had a great time! I'm glad I did it! All the participants at the same time were foreigners, but everyone was friendly and it was fun. It wasn't a problem at all that I couldn't speak English. The staff on the boat were handsome! It was a mistake that I didn't pay much attention to the tips and photos and left my wallet at the hotel.

とても楽しかったです！やって良かった！同じ時間の参加者は全員外人さんでしたが、みんなフレンドリーで楽しかった。英語話せなくても、何の問題もなかったです。船のスタッフさんがイケメンでした！チップや写真のことをよく見ておらず、ホテルに財布を置いてきてしまったのが失敗でした。

Dan was super friendly and informative. We had no trouble getting picked up and into the reserve. He ensured our comfort, safety and overall quelmed the anxieties of a first time snorkeler. He also carried a go pro which meant that my awesome first experience was documented. I’d absolutely recommend it as well as do it again.

I participated with another person in a 90-meter experience, but the staff was not at all kind to Japanese speakers and only spoke English. When we got on the boat, despite the strong waves, they sped off, and I ended up getting seasick and couldn't experience parasailing. There were about three groups, so waiting on the boat the whole time was really tough. The instructor didn't seem to care and was singing along to the music, which was frustrating.

In the end, we were the only ones who didn't receive the initial explanation, so my husband had to experience it alone, and they didn't even take any photos for us. They just said "sorry!" casually. It was truly the worst day.

90メートルのに2人で参加しましたが、日本人に全然優しくなくひたすら英語でした。船に乗ると波が強いのにも関わらず飛ばすので、船酔いをしてしまいパラセーリング体験できませんでした。3組ほどいたので、それまでずっと船の上で待っているのがとてもきつかったです。インストラクターの人も心配する事なく、流れている音楽に合わせて歌っていて腹が立ちました。
しまいには、私達だけ最初の説明をされていなかったので主人は1人で体験したのに、写真も撮っててもらえなかったです。sorry！と簡単に済まされました。ほんとに最悪な日
でした。

We had a group lesson, and there were two instructors for our group of four friends! They taught us very carefully, and by the second wave, everyone was able to ride. It was a very fun and wonderful tour, so I think even beginners can really enjoy it. Above all, the instructors were very friendly and fun. We also received over 100 photos for free, which was great to keep as memories of Hawaii.

グループレッスンを行いましたが、友達4人に対して2人のインストラクターが付いてくれました！
とても丁寧に教えていただき、2回目の波から全員がのることができました。
とても楽しく素晴らしいツアーなので、初心者の方でもとても楽しめると思います。何より、インストラクターの方がとてもフレンドリーで楽しいです。写真のデータも100枚以上無料でもらえて、ハワイの思い出としても残せてよかったです。

I was able to snorkel without any anxiety because they explained the methods and sea conditions in detail in Japanese. I hadn't reserved a diving suit in advance, but they suggested that it could help prevent cold and injuries, so I borrowed one on the day. Even with the suit on, I got quite cold after about an hour of swimming, so I was really glad I could borrow it. I was moved to see not only a variety of fish but also a sea turtle up close. They picked me up from the hotel and dropped me back off, which made for a comfortable experience. They also shared various information about Hawaii during the car ride, which was helpful. Thank you for the valuable experience!

シュノーケリングの方法や海の状態を日本語でひとつひとつ丁寧に説明してもらえたので、不安なく行うことができました。ダイビングスーツを事前に申込んでいませんでしたが、寒さや怪我を防ぐことができると提案していただき、当日急遽お借りしました。スーツを着ても一時間ほど泳ぐとかなり寒くなったので、借りることができて本当によかったと思いました。たくさんの種類の魚だけでなく、ウミガメを間近で見ることができ、感動しました。ホテルでピックアップしてもらい、帰りもホテルまで送っていただけるので、快適でした。車中でもハワイのことを色々と教えてもらい、参考になりました。貴重な体験をありがとうございました！

I applied because I thought if I missed this opportunity, I would never get another chance. It's an experience unique to Hawaii.

The location is at the left end of Waikiki (Queens Beach), with a simple lesson on the shore that lasts about five minutes. You paddle out to just before the reef, about 100 meters away. When the waves come, they push you from behind, so as long as you time it right and stand in the middle of the board, it's easy to get up.

In the semi-private lesson, you have one instructor for every two people, so I definitely recommend it for beginners. You also receive a T-shirt or a hat as a gift on your way back.

Paddling became tough for me due to my frozen shoulder, but since they push you, I was able to enjoy it enough.

There are Japanese staff at the shop, so there's no need to worry about language. As mentioned in other reviews, the shuttle service can be a bit loose with timing. The shop is about an 8-minute walk from Moana Surf, so walking there is less frustrating. On the way back, I walked to the supermarket in my swimsuit to do some shopping.

If your hotel is nearby, you won't need to bring your smartphone, towel, or a change of clothes. Just bring about $20 and a few dollars for tips, just in case.

Unfortunately, one-third of the DVD file of the photos I received was broken and wouldn't open.

この機会を逃せばチャンスは二度とないと思い申し込みました。
日本では恥ずかしくて無理でしょう。
ハワイならではの体験です。

念のために２０ドルとチップの数ドルだけ持って行って下さい。

残念だったのはもらった写真のDVDファイルの1/3が、
壊れて開きませんでした。

This was my first time in Hawaii, and since I wanted to do some activities by the sea, I joined with four friends. We were picked up on time in the hotel lobby, and during the drive, our cheerful driver kept us entertained with jokes. Upon arriving at the beach, we quickly boarded the boat. The boat was quite rocky. It seemed that the boat ride was more intense than parasailing, giving a floating sensation similar to the drop of a roller coaster. I was fine with the rocking; in fact, I found it enjoyable, but those who are prone to seasickness might want to take medication beforehand or consider opting out.

For parasailing, we flew in pairs. As others had shared, there was no floating sensation while flying, but it felt wonderful to look around at the sea and the cityscape. If I get the chance, I would like to try a higher flight next time. You can request to have photos taken before you fly. After landing, you can purchase a group of photos (1 SD card) for $30 (an additional $5 fee for card payments). When I got home and looked at the photos, there were about 90 pictures, all beautiful, so I definitely recommend buying them!

初めてのハワイ、せっかくなので海でアクティビティをしたいということで、友達4人と参加しました。時間通りにホテルのロビーでピックアップ、車での移動中は愉快なドライバーさんがギャグで盛り上げてくれました。海辺に到着するとすぐ船に乗り移動しました。船はかなり揺れます。パラセイリングよりも船の方が激しいアトラクションのようで、ジェットコースターの落下時のようなふわふわ感がしました。私は揺れは大丈夫、むしろ楽しい感じでしたが、船酔する方は事前に薬を飲んでおくか、辞退された方がいいかもしれません。 パラセイリングは2人ずつ飛びました。ほかの方の体験談通り、飛んでる時はふわふわ感はなく、海と街並みを見回せてとても気持ちが良かったです。機会があったら今度はもっと高い方を挑戦してみたいです。写真は飛ぶ前に頼めば撮って貰えます。降りてから1グループ(1SDカード)で＄30(カード払いだと手数料で＋＄5)で買えます。帰って写真を見てみたら90枚ほど写真が入っていて、素敵な写真ばかりでしたので、買うことを是非お勧めします！

Took my son for his 17th birthday to Oahu & took to the sky with this awesome bird's eye experience. I was a bit anxious of how it would feel flying so high since I usually have motion sickness but I did not have any issues doing this activity. Had a great time ... It was simply AWESOME!

I was worried because the driver could hardly speak Japanese, but he was very friendly and interesting to talk to. The parasailing itself was really fun! I also got some great photos, and the SD card was $30! I made the best memories!

運転手さんが日本語がほとんどしゃべれないということで不安だったのですが、
きさくに話してくださってとても面白く、
パラセーリング自体も本当に楽しかったです！！
写真もとってもらえて、SD カードは30ドルでした！
最高の思い出ができました！

It was my first time parasailing. The flow of suddenly putting on a life jacket and being lifted up is very American and nice, but the first person definitely needs some courage. It might be a little scary... Everyone else seemed to be enjoying the parasailing (^｡^)(I was a bit scared and got motion sickness from the swaying in the air).

初めてのパラセイリングでした。いきなりライフジャケットをきて吊るされてgo！の流れがアメリカらしく良いのですが、第1号者の方は勇気が必要です。ちょっと怖いかも。。みんな気持ちよさそうにパラセイリングしていました(^｡^)(私は少し怖かったです。そして、空の揺れに酔いました)

I experienced this with my 11-year-old daughter! The staff who picked us up were handsome (laughs).

In our group, there were two Japanese families and three foreign families, and everyone was in high spirits, enjoying the boat ride together. The parasailing itself was 110 meters high, but it felt very high, and we were extremely satisfied! My daughter, who was nervous until the splash in the water, was so happy and said she wanted to do it more.

Before the challenge, they asked if we wanted to take optional photos, and since we decided not to, we didn't have any taken. However, they listened to our opinions well, so I felt good about that. My daughter is saying she definitely wants to do it again! I'm also happy because I got to see her beautiful smile, making it a wonderful memory!

11歳の娘と体験しました！
迎えのお兄さんたちがイケメンで（笑）

私たちの体験した回は日本人2組、外国人3組でしたが、みんなノリがよく、ボートみんなでキャーキャーして乗った感じです。
パラセーリング自体も、110メートルでしたがとても高く感じて大満足！
お約束の水バシャーンもやってもらってチャレンジするまでドキドキだった娘はもっとやりたかったー、とものすごく喜んでいました。
チャレンジ前にオプションの写真を撮るか聞かれるので我が家は撮らなくていいと伝えたので撮ってもらっていませんが、意見をしっかりと聞いてくれるのでそこも悪い感じはせず良かったと思います。
娘はまた絶対やりたい！と言ってます♪
私も娘の最高の笑顔が観れたので嬉しい思い出になりました！

Great adventure underwater fun. Crew were friendly and efficient . Everything supplied and even if you are not a very competent swimmer you could easily manage this activity as a fully qualified diver is in the water to assist at all times.
Ideal alternative way to get under the water if you are incapable of scuba diving. Would definitely do it again The music on the boat was from the 70's and 80's which made the trip even more enjoyable as it was what I grew up listening too

I participate in this sailing every year when I come to Hawaii. The view from the sea is also amazing. My mother, who will turn 84 this year, looks forward to this sailing every year. You get a little wet when you get on the boat, but that feels nice.

毎年ハワイに来るたびにこのセーリングに参加しています。
海側から見る景色も最高です。
今年84歳になる母も毎年このセーリングを楽しみにしています。
船に乗る時に多少濡れますがそれがまた気持ち良いです。

I didn't use the hotel pickup and went to the meeting place by rental car, but it was very difficult to find. I called the Japanese office and communicated with a Japanese staff member, but in the end, I couldn't make it on time... I was about to give up, but somehow when I arrived, they said they would accommodate me for the next tour (in one hour)!

On the phone, they mentioned that they were fully booked for the day, but the local tour company staff seemed very relaxed about the details and kindly accepted me, which was a relief.

Captain Rusty was a lot of fun, and while I was taking selfies, he sat next to me and got in the frame. In the end, he said, "Come back again!" and even with my limited English, we were able to enjoy ourselves without any problems.

ホテルピックアップではなく、レンタカーで集合場所まで行ったのですが、とてもわかりずらかったです。日本の事務所に電話をして、日本人スタッフとやりとりさせていただいたのですが、結局間に合わず・・諦めかけましたが、なんとかたどり着くと、次回（1時間後）に入れてあげる！とのこと。
電話では、今日はもう予約でいっぱい、というようなことを言われましたが、現地のツアー会社の方は細かいことは気にしない！という感じで、快く受け入れてくれたので安心しました。

キャプテンのRustyがとても楽しい人で、自撮りをしていると隣に座って映り込んできたりしました。
最後は、また来てねー！と言ってくれて、英語が不自由な私たちでも問題なく楽しめました。

This was our second time and it was just as awesome as the first time (2 yrs ago).

I thought of making a reservation during my stay in Hawaii, and I appreciated how easy it was to experience it the very next day. It was very helpful that the reservation and guidance were in Japanese. They also provided transportation to and from the hotel. The instructor was very cheerful and always made the participants laugh. We could use our cameras and smartphones at our own risk, but I was very grateful that they took photos of us while we were flying (data could be purchased for each group). It was so much fun! It wasn't scary at all, so I definitely want to challenge myself to the 150m next time.

ハワイに滞在中ふと思い立って予約し、次の日にすぐ体験できる手軽さがよかったです。日本語での予約・案内だったのでとても助かりました。ホテルへの送り迎えもしてくださいます。インストラクターさんはとても陽気な方で、常に参加者を笑わせてくださいました。自己責任でカメラやスマホを使えましたが、自分たちが飛んでいるときの写真を撮ってくださったのがとてもありがたかったです(グループごとにデータ購入可能でした)。とにかく楽しかった！怖くなかったので、次は是非150mに挑戦したいな

The weather wasn't very good on the day we experienced it, and the water temperature was low. We hadn't applied for a wetsuit in advance, but the guide recommended that we rent one on the spot for an additional $10. I'm really glad we borrowed the wetsuits! It was cold, and since we swam in shallow water, if we hadn't had them, I think I would have been shivering from the cold and scraping my knees.

Although the weather was bad and the water clarity was low, we were lucky enough to encounter turtles twice.

The guide spoke fluent Japanese, and I was able to casually ask various questions.

It was a very good experience!

体験した日はあまり天気も良くなく、水温も低かったです。
私たちは、事前にウエットスーツの申し込みをしていなかったのですが、ガイドさんに勧められてプラス10ドルでその場で借りることが出来ました。
ウエットスーツを借りてよかったと思います！！
寒かったし、水面が低いところを泳いだので、もし来てなかったら、寒さに震えながら、膝を擦りむいていたと思います。


天気が悪く水の透明度は低かったですが、ラッキーなことに、2回もカメに遭遇出来ました。

ガイドさんも日本語がペラペラで、気軽に色々きけました。

とても良い経験になりました！！

I hadn't been in the ocean since I was a child, so I was quite nervous, but it was so much fun! During the initial briefing at the office, they provided explanations in English followed by Japanese, but the Japanese was quite fast, so there were some details I didn't catch. I thought it would have been great for beginners like me to have a video explanation as well. (In reality, the staff accompanied us the whole time and guided us step by step, so it worked out fine.)

Our boat had about 15 people in 6 groups, and they took photos of us diving in pairs. Since most of the participants were Japanese, I asked those who dove before me for tips. The underwater scenery was beautiful, and the fish that came to the bait in my hands were incredibly cute!

For those with long hair, if you tie it back high, your face will end up closer to the front of the helmet, which can feel cramped due to the limited space in front of you. I think it's better to tie it at the neck level.

We swayed gently for just over an hour as we headed out. It felt like seasickness was a given, and there was a prior explanation about "if you feel sick, go to the back of the boat." My husband, who is a sea man, said that "people who get overly excited or nervous at first tend to get seasick," so it might be better not to get too hyped up.

At the end, they mentioned there wouldn't be a place to change, but when we returned to the office, there was about a 20-minute break that felt like a restroom stop. So, if someone really needs to, they might be able to change quickly in the restroom. (However, since there are few restrooms, I wouldn't recommend it.) We just put on our hoodies and let ourselves dry naturally on the way back.

The photos were bundled with a video for $47. Payment was made on the spot (it was card-friendly when I went), and I wrote down my email address to receive them later. It was smooth, with a request to download them within two weeks.

子供の頃以来海に入っておらず結構ドキドキだったのですがすごーく楽しかったです。
最初に事務所でレクチャー受ける際、英語説明の後日本語でもしてくれましたが結構早口なので詳細分からないところもあり、私のような初心者にとってはビデオ説明もあったら尚よかったなぁ〜なんて思いました。(実際はスタッフがずっと帯同し、手取り足取りやってくれるのでなんとかなりますが)
私達のボートは6組15名程度、順次潜りペアの写真も撮ってくれます。日本人の方がほとんどだったので前に潜った人に要領を聞いたりしました。海中は綺麗で手元の餌に寄ってくるお魚さんがメチャメチャ可愛かったです！
髪が長い方、後ろで結ぶ際に高い位置で結ぶとその分ヘルメットの前の方に顔が来てしまうので(目の前の空間が少なく圧迫感！)首の位置で結んだ方がいいと思います。
沖に出て1時間ちょっとユラユラ揺られます。船酔いはお約束といった感じで、予め「吐く時は船の後ろで」などの説明もありました。海男の夫が言うには「最初にはしゃいだりドキドキしすぎる人が酔いやすい」ということなのでテンションも上げ過ぎない方がいいかもしれません。
最後は着替える所がないとのことでしたが、事務所に戻るとトイレ休憩な感じで20分程空白の時間があったので、どうしてもという方はトイレで急いで着替えたりできるかも。(トイレの数が少ないので推奨はしませんが^^;)。私達はパーカー羽織って自然乾燥しながら帰りました。
写真は動画とセット47ドルでした。その場で支払い(私の時はカード可)、メールアドレス書いて後でメールで受け取り。2週間以内にダウンロードして下さいという形でスムーズでした〜。

For the first time in three years, it's sunny!
The clarity of the sea in Kailua and Lanikai is different from Waikiki!
The time spent at the Pillbox was a blissful moment, especially after the effort it took to get there!

3年目にして初めての晴れ！
カイルア・ラニカイの海の透明度がワイキキとは、
違う！
ピルボックスは大変な思いをしたからこその
至福の時間‼︎

The actual parasailing time was less than 10 minutes, but it was a fun and very satisfying tour. I highly recommend this activity.

実際のパラセーリングの時間は10分も無かったですが、楽しくて大満足のツアーでした。オススメのアクティビティです。
