All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I was a bit anxious because the pickup time was more than 10 minutes late, but I was picked up safely and arrived at Hawaii Kai in about 40 minutes. There were some waiting times after we arrived, but the boat transfers to parasailing were incredibly fast, and it felt like we were about to collide! It was a lot of fun!

Once on the parasailing boat, I had the harness attached and took a quick photo. I was the first one to go up. It felt like I was flying in a very peaceful space, and it was so enjoyable! The scenery and atmosphere were something you can only experience in Hawaii, and it was all perfect! At the end, they showed us the photos and videos they took. I didn't purchase them, but I did feel like I wanted them as a keepsake. If you have the time, I definitely recommend experiencing this!

ピックアップの時間が10分以上過ぎてたので、少し不安になりましたが、無事にピックアップしてもらいハワイカイまで40分くらいで到着しました。着いてからも諸々待ち時間がありましたが、、船を乗り継ぎ、乗り継ぎでパラセーリングまでの船ではめちゃくちゃ早くて、ぶつかりそう！！など楽しませてくれました！

パラセーリングの船に乗り込みハーネスを取り付けてもらい、写真をパシャリ、一番手で上げてもらいました。とても穏やかな空間で空を飛んでるようでとても楽しかったです！
ハワイでしか味わえない空間に景色、全て最後でした！
最後には撮ってくれた写真と動画を見せてもらいました。購入はしませんでしたが、記念に欲しい気もしました。
時間があれば是非体験して欲しいです♪

Last year, I went stand-up paddleboarding. Although it was said that the wind was strong and we would only be on the river, the wind calmed down and we were able to go out to the ocean and really enjoy ourselves. The staff were friendly, and I remember the lunch pizza being delicious. So this year, I went sea kayaking. The wind was indeed strong again, and unfortunately, we only stayed on the river, but I was able to ride a rental bike to Lanikai. The water was cold, so I didn't go snorkeling, but they do offer rentals. This year, I also had the pizza again. The crust is delicious. It was a great experience.

昨年、SUPしました。風が強く川だけとの話だったのですが、風が弱まり海に出られ満喫しました。スタッフの方も気さくで、ランチのピザも美味しかったのを覚えてます。なので、今年はシーカヤックをしました。やはり風が強く、残念ながら川だけでしたが、レンタル自転車でラニカイまで行けました。水が冷たく、シュノーケルはしませんでしたが、貸してくれます。今年もピザをいただきました。生地が美味しいです。満喫です。

It was so much fun! I was excited and nervous, but I flew over the ocean. For a moment, I felt a bit scared, but since I was with someone else, I felt very reassured. Once I put on the safety belt and thought I was ready, I was suddenly in the air. I quickly soared higher and higher. Once I was up there, I didn't feel scared anymore and enjoyed the Hawaiian breeze. In the end, I splashed into the water (laughs). The staff took photos from the boat, and I bought a USB memory for $25. I'm still enjoying looking at those photos (they turned out to be quite interesting).

楽しかった～！！ワクワクドキドキでしたが海の上を飛んできました。一瞬、恐怖心も出てくるのですが二人乗りだったので、とても心強かったです。安全ベルトをつけ準備ができたと思ったらあっという間に空へ。みるみるうちに高く飛んでいました。上がってしまうと怖さもなくハワイの風を感じて楽しみました。最後は水にチャポ～ン（笑）スタッフの方がボートから写真を写してくれていて２５ドルでＵＳＢメモリーを買いました。その写真を見ては、また楽しんでいます。（なかなか面白い写真が撮れていました）

I couldn't tell how many meters we went up, but we ascended rapidly. By the way, I love heights, and we definitely went up quite high! I set it to 90 meters, but I think we probably went even higher. However, the view was amazing and I was really moved. That said, I started to feel seasick. I took motion sickness medication beforehand since I had read reviews, but it didn't help. Motion sickness medication is absolutely essential!

何メートル上がったか分からないくらいグングン上がりました。因みに高いところ好きですが、結構な高さ上がってました！90メートルにしたのですが恐らくそれ以上上がってたとも思います。でも景色はすごく良くて感動しました。ですが、船酔いをしかけました。事前に口コミを見ていたので酔い止めを飲みましたが駄目でした。絶対酔い止め必須！！

It was convenient to be within walking distance from the hotel. I had fun getting interesting photos taken that I couldn't capture myself for $30 (cash price). I booked for 90 meters, but was it more than that? We went quite high up! (^_^)

宿泊先ホテルから徒歩で行ける場所にあって楽でした。
$30(現金価格)で自分では撮れない面白画像も撮影して貰えて楽しかったです。
90mで予約しましたがそれ以上だったのか？かなり高くまで上がってました(^_^;)

I participated with my family of four, and although I had some concerns, I found that even with only English being spoken, a bit of Japanese was understood, and there was a laminated Japanese explanation sheet, so I didn't feel too inconvenienced. The driver for the pick-up was also funny, which made it enjoyable.

Now, onto the main topic: I challenged myself to the 150M. I thought my 7-year-old son might hesitate at the last minute, but he watched the other adult guests being attended to first and seemed to enjoy it, saying he wanted to ride again the next day. They adjust the flight arrangements based on the size of the children, which is great. In the latter half of the flight, you get about half your body submerged in the sea, but if you don't like that, you can go ahead first. However, since the belt gets wet, your swimsuit will also get wet. So let's give up on staying dry and enjoy it to the fullest. You ride the shuttle van to and from in your swimsuit, and it's fine even if you're wet. Just bring a towel instead of a change of clothes. Everyone in Hawaii is very kind to children, so you can feel at ease. The only downside was that the SD card we purchased for the photos was a bit disappointing.

親子4人で参加して少し不安もあったのですが、英語のみとなっていても片言の日本語が通じたり、ラミネートされた日本語説明書があったのでさほど不便は感じませんでした。送迎のドライバーの方も面白くて、楽しかったです。本題ですが150Ｍにチャレンジしました。7歳の息子は土壇場で嫌がるかと思いましたが、他の大人だけのお客様を先にアテンドしその様子を見ていたので楽しめたらしく、翌日も乗りたいと言っていた。子供の体の大きさを見てフライトアレンジをしてくれるので良いです。フライト後半海に体半分くらい浸かるのですが、それが嫌な方は先に行ってくれればＯＫ。ということでしたが、ベルトが濡れているため水着は濡れます。なので諦めて思いっきり楽しみましょう。行きも帰りも水着で送迎バンに乗ります。濡れていても大丈夫。着替えなんて特に持たずにタオルを持って行きましょう。皆さんハワイの方は子供にとてもやさしいです、安心してください。ただ撮影してくれた購入のＳＤは微妙でした。

We participated as a family of five, and my second-grade grandson was very satisfied with the many fish he caught. Most of them were various types of flatfish, but we also caught some juvenile GTs and triggerfish. Additionally, while moving to different fishing spots, dolphins swam under our boat, and we even saw flying fish. I would like to sign up again when we come to Hawaii.

家族5人で参加して小２の孫もいっぱい釣って満足していました。ほとんどカワハギの種類多数でしたが、GTの子供やハリセンボンも釣れていました。それに釣り場の移動中にイルカが船の下を通ったり、トビウオにもお目にかかりました。またハワイに来たときは申し込みたいです。

I spent about 20,000 yen on a package that included an underwater scooter, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling, but on the day of the activity, it was windy and cold, so I couldn't properly do stand-up paddleboarding. I waited for about an hour, shivering in a bikini in the freezing cold, before doing the underwater scooter. The underwater scooter was really great! Fish and sea turtles came close, and I was able to take some nice photos and videos. However, the photos and videos cost an additional 80 dollars.

Although it was advertised as including snorkeling, it seems that it was canceled because it was too cold. Considering I paid 25,000 yen for half a day, I was disappointed with the experience. I think it would have been different if it had been during the warm summer months. Anyway, it was so cold that I couldn't help but wonder if I really paid for this experience... What I want to say is that the price was high for what we got. (laughs)

水中スクーターとスタンドアップパドル、シュノーケリングのパックで約２万円だしたのですが、当日風が強いし寒いしでまともにスタンドアップパドルはできませんでした。極寒の中ビキニでガクガク震えながら1時間ほど迎えを待ち、水中スクーターをやりました。水中スクーターはとっても良かったです！魚もウミガメも寄ってきていい写真、動画を撮っていただきました。しかし、写真や動画は別料金で80ドル。
シュノーケリング付きと言っていたのにシュノーケリングは寒いと言っていたからか無くなりました。半日でチップ込みで25000円払ったと思うと内容は残念でした。
きっと夏の暖かい時期だったらまた違ったのかなと思います。とにかく寒く、こんな思いするためにお金払ったのかと思ってしまいました、、、何を言いたいのかと言うと、内容のわりに値段が高いと言うことです。(笑)

We had very exciting time. We were kind of scared since that was our first time and we are not good swimmers. But it was very safe and we enjoyed very much. Chieko and Dan, they are very professional and they led us to a sea turtle!
We definitely are coming back again!

We set off in the morning with a downpour, feeling anxious. The weather quickly improved, and my son went fishing for the first time. He caught three fish and seemed to have a great time! He wants to do it again! I also got to drive from the captain's seat, which was a wonderful experience!

朝からスコールで不安の中出発
すぐ天気が良くなり
息子は初めての釣りだったのですが
3匹も釣れて楽しそうでした！
またやりたいです！
船長席で運転もさせていただき
とてもいい経験になりました！

It had rained, so the waves were high and the sea was murky, but I was glad to meet a sea turtle! Next time, I want to go when the weather is nice!

雨が降った後だったので波も高く海が濁っていたのですが、ウミガメに会えて良かったです！
次は天気のいい時にやりたいです！

what a wonderful tour. snorkeling for a beginner or someone with a little experience. our tour guide made us feel safe and made sure we saw lots of fish and turtles as he knew where they were often seen. going without a guide, I don't think I would have ventured as far from shore as I did.

My first time in Hawaii, and thanks to the support of our guide, all five of us were able to enjoy snorkeling, especially my friend who was trying it for the first time. We were able to see sea turtles twice, which I believe was thanks to our guide's assistance. The comfort of being able to speak in Japanese and the information about local shops that we received were also great. If I ever go to Hawaii again, I would love to request the guide again.

Hanauma Bay was filled with cats, almost like a cat island, which was perfect for me as a cat lover.

初めてのハワイ、シュノーケリング初体験の友人にずっとサポートしてくださり5人全員で楽しむ事が出来ました。ウミガメに2度も会うことが出来たのも、ガイドさんに案内していただいたからこそだと思います。日本語で話せる安心感、教えていただいた現地のお店の情報も良かったです。ハワイに行くことがあったら、またガイドをお願いしたいです。
ハナウマ湾が、まるで猫の島みたいに猫ちゃんだらけだったのも、猫好きな私には最高でした。

The best experience ever! The crew were very professional and nice and I don’t swim but they were so kind in helping me and guiding me through this amazing experience! In addition they gave complimentary equipment that you can borrow to snorkel freely! If you want an amazing adventure, this is one of them!

The instructor was very dedicated in assisting us. There was a simple explanation at the beginning on how to do it, so you can participate with peace of mind.

インストラクターのお姉さんが一生懸命アシストしてくれました。
始めにどうやるのか簡単な説明もあり安心して参加出来ますよ。

The captain and crew only spoke English, so I couldn't understand what they were saying, but the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean was very beautiful and enjoyable. It seems that members of Terrace House also participated in this sailing, which added to the atmosphere and made it great!

船長を始めクルーは英語しか喋りませんので何言ってるかわかりませんでしたが沖から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドはとても綺麗で楽しめました^_^
テラスハウスのメンバーもこのセーリングに参加したようですので雰囲気も楽しめ良かったです！

Whole experience was great!
Mentioned about our 10 year anniversary- which was lovely.

I experienced this on December 4th. The guide was incredibly nice. It had been raining in Hawaii for a long time, and finally, it cleared up on this day. We were told that it was cold and the chances of seeing a sea turtle were low, so my family and I had given up on that idea, thinking it would be fine just to see various fish. However, miraculously, we were able to encounter one sea turtle! It was truly wonderful. Overall, I was very satisfied because the guide was such a great person!

12月4日に体験しました。
とーっても感じの良いガイドさんでした。
ハワイはずーっと雨が降って居て、この日にやっと晴れてくれました。寒いしウミガメに会える確率は低いよー。と言われ、いろんなお魚に出会えるだけでいっか。なんて家族で断念していましたが、奇跡的に１匹だけ出会うことができました。
ほんとうに、素敵でした。
とにかくガイドさんがとても良い方だったので大満足でした！

To begin, customer service over the phone was fantastic. The tour itself was exactly what I was hoping it would be. We got Ocean, we got River ( the glass bottom kayaks are fantastic), and we got Steve- an entertaining yet professional
Guide who was the perfect combination of laid back and instructive. He even let one of our group take over his paddle board even though that’s not what we signed up for and she loved it! Overall great experience.

The should have better explained the process. An example would have been better. Also, they should have been more encouraging to those who were uneasy in the water and refunded part of the cost if someone was unable to participate, especially since the water was very rough and it was raining.

The weather was nice on the day, and it was more fun than I had imagined. There were no scary things like I had worried about. The early morning plan is recommended as it allows you to make the most of your day. Next time, I would like to take commemorative photos from a higher place.

当日は、お天気も良く想像以上に楽しかったです。
心配していたような怖いことはありませんでした。
早朝プランは、1日を有効に使えてオススメです。
次回はもっと高いところから、記念写真をお願いしたいと思います。

I chose this tour after reading the other reviews and we were definitely not disappointed. The good reviews are all true. Dan is very experienced and friendly. He is very patient and kind with beginners and answered all our questions. The hour long snorkel is definitely enough time. This is a excellent tour for both beginners and experienced snorkelers. We saw so a huge variety of fish and the whole experience met and exceeded our expectations. Thank you Dan for a great day. We recommend you and your company without any hesitation.

I arrived a little early at the meeting place, and since it was a hot day with no shade, waiting was a bit challenging. I signed the documents and boarded the boat. The staff were all friendly. When it was our turn, we went up to a height of 120 meters and enjoyed the breathtaking view, which was very moving. I felt no fear of the height once we were up, so I think choosing 120 meters was the right decision. The view of Waikiki Beach and the blue ocean from the sea side was very impressive.

集合場所に少し早く着き、暑い日だったので日陰もなく待つのが少し大変でした。書類にサインをして、ボートに乗りました。係の方は皆フレンドリーでした。自分たちの番がきて１２０mの高さまで上がり、絶景を楽しみとても感動しました。上がってみて高さに対する怖さはありませんでしたので１２０mにして正解だと思いました。海側からみるワイキキビーチと海の青さがとても印象的でした。

We started our first parasailing adventure at 150 meters at 10 AM! There were five groups participating, including us. The 9 AM and 11 AM slots had fewer participants. After having a hearty breakfast (which I regretted later... haha), we were all set! Since we were staying at the Hilton, we could walk to the meeting point without getting lost. The guide spoke very little Japanese, but we managed with gestures.

With many groups, the time spent on the boat is longer, so it's better to take motion sickness medication! Also, keep breakfast light (laughs).

Once we took off, it was simply amazing!! It was a quick journey through the skies! My husband, who isn't fond of roller coasters or the feeling of flying in airplanes, was totally fine. We were both nervous before flying, but in the end, it became the best memory of our trip! (The photo is from when we were dropped into the sea before returning to the boat.)

10時から初めてのパラセイリング150ｍにチャレンジ！
私たちを入れて５組参加していました。９時と11時スタートは組数が少なかったです。
朝ごはんをお腹いっぱい食べ（後で後悔・・笑）、準備完了！
ヒルトンに宿泊していたので、集合場所まで迷わず歩いて行くことができました。
ガイドさんはほとんど日本語は話せませんが、ジェスチャーでなんとかなります。
組数が多いと船に乗っている時間が長いので、酔い止めは飲んでいたほうがいいです！あと、朝ごはんはほどほどに(笑)
いざ、飛んでみると最高の一言！！あっという間の空の旅でした！
ジェットコースターや飛行機のふわっとするのが苦手な旦那さんも、ぜんぜん平気でした。
飛ぶ前は2人でびくびくしていましたが、最後には旅行の一番の思い出になりました！
(写真は、船に戻る前、海に落とされたときのものです)

My wife and I had a wonderful time on our snorkeling trip. Dave was very patient with us, especially me, as we learned the basics.

Even for someone with a fear of heights like me, I had a great time!!! Everything went smoothly, and it became a wonderful memory! If I go parasailing in Hawaii again, I would like to book here!

高所恐怖症のわたしでも
とても楽しめました！！！
全てスムーズで、良い思い出になりました！
また次ハワイでパラセーリングするならこちらで予約したいです！

It was a lot of fun from the moment we boarded until we flew back over the harbor. It was thrilling. We even saw dolphins from the boat by chance. Since we had an evening reservation, we were able to take photos with the sunset in the background, and I was very satisfied.

乗船してから上空を飛んでハーバーに戻るまで、ずっと楽しかったです。スリル満点でした。船からは偶然にもイルカが見れたりしました。夕方の予約でしたので、夕日をバックに写真を撮って頂いたりり、大満足です。

Absolutely amazing! The scenery was great, the weather was perfect, and the parasailing staff were really nice, making for a wonderful experience. This time we went up to 150 meters, and even though my wife has a fear of heights, she truly enjoyed it, and we were both very satisfied.

本当に最高❗️景色も良く天気も良くパラセーリング担当の方々も本当にいい人で良い経験できました✨
今回は150mで嫁が高所恐怖症なのですが、本当に楽しでおり2人とも大満足です。

I stayed at Hilton and walked to the meeting point, but it was difficult to find. The parasailing itself was fun, but it seems I needed to ask the captain for photos before parasailing, so it's a shame I don't have any pictures from the experience. The information was only provided via email, which left me dissatisfied with the service.

ヒルトンに宿泊していたため徒歩で集合場所へ向かうも場所が分かりづらかった。
パラセーリング自体は楽しく参加できたけど、写真を撮ってもらうには、パラセーリング前に船長にお願いする必要があったらしく、パラセーリング中の写真がないのが残念。
メールでの案内だけなので、サービスに不満が残った。

I tried kayaking! ♬ Unfortunately, it was raining on the day I participated, or rather, it was pouring. This was my fourth time, and it was the first time it rained... But despite the high waves, I did my best and challenged myself to kayak. Unlike the calm sea, I was completely exhausted, but it was fun! After kayaking, I planned to rent a bike and go shopping, but the shop staff kindly drove me to Kailua Town because it was deemed dangerous. That was very nice of them. By the way, the photo was taken at Lanikai Beach when I participated on a sunny day! ♬

カヤックに挑戦しました♬
参加した日はあいにくの雨、と言うか豪雨。
リピート4回目にして、初の雨、、、
でも、高波の中、頑張って自力でカヤックに挑戦しました。
穏やかな海とは異なり、すっかり体力を消耗しましたが、楽しかったです！
カヤック後は、自転車をレンタルしてショッピングに出かけようとした所、危険との事でショップの人が車でカイルアタウンまで送り迎えしてくれ、とても親切で良かったです。
ちなみに、写真は晴れた時に参加した際にラニカイビーチで撮影しました♬
