All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I couldn't stop feeling excited about my first parasailing experience! The local staff were funny and helped ease my nerves, so I enjoyed it 120%!

初めてのパラセーリングにドキドキが止まりませんでした^ ^
現地スタッフさんが面白く緊張感をほぐしてくれたので120%楽しめました！

I just started surfing, so I decided to give it a try in Hawaii, but the board was so big that it was almost not even a surfboard, so anyone could stand on it. However, instead of teaching, they just pushed the board when the waves came. There was hardly any actual lesson. I think I will choose a different surfing lesson next time. Also, the time spent was much shorter than what was stated, with the lesson in the ocean being about an hour and a half.

サーフィンを始めたばかりなので今回はハワイでも挑戦しましたが、サーフボードとはいえなくらい大きなボードで確かにあれなら誰でも立つことは可能です。
でも教えてくれるというよりはただ波がきたらボードを押してくれるだけです。レッスンらしいことはほぼなし。
次は違うサーフィンレッスンを選ぶと思います。
また記載してあった時間よりだいぶ少なく、海でのレッスンは1時間半程度でした。

I used this service to visit Kailua Beach, Lanikai Beach, and Kailua Town. Once I arrived and received the explanation, I was free to explore at my own pace until the designated time, so I recommend it for those who prefer to go at their own speed.

The Japanese female staff on-site were kind and provided information on how to get to Lanikai Beach and the hills to be careful of while biking.

As everyone else has mentioned, the lunch pizza was very large and delicious.

カイルアビーチ、ラニカイビーチ、カイルアタウンに行きたく利用しました。
現地に到着し、説明を受けたら時間まで自由に行動出来るので、ご自分でペースで行動したい方にはお勧めです。

現地の女性日本人スタッフが親切で、ラニカイビーチへ行き方や自転車で気をつける坂など教えて頂きました。

みなさんが投稿しているように、ランチのピザはとても大きく美味しかったです。

The Japanese guidance made me feel at ease, and I was able to enjoy plenty of jokes! I was moved to see sea turtles up close!!! The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and it was a precious time!

日本語の案内で安心できたうえに、ジョーク盛りだくさんで笑わせてもらいました！！
ウミガメをめちゃめちゃ近くで見れて感動！！！
海も最高にキレイで貴重な時間でした！

I was excited to participate after hearing from others that it would be thrilling and fun even with small children. I joined with my 3-year-old and 8-year-old, making a group of four with one staff member and the captain operating the boat.

The kids didn't paddle, but they sat in the boat, paddling out into the blue sea of Waikiki on their own, following the captain's signals to paddle and rest while waiting for good waves. When a good wave came, they paddled hard towards the shore, and after that, the boat moved swiftly towards the land without needing to paddle at all. The first time was really enjoyable, and the kids were thrilled, saying they wanted to do it again.

For the second time, it seemed like we were waiting a long time for good waves, and when we finally got moving, it wasn't as thrilling as the first time. I had read in reviews that there would be three rounds, so I thought we could go again, but it turned out to be over...

If we could have caught one more wave, I would have felt satisfied, but with the price we paid for only two rounds, and the second one being lackluster, it left me feeling unsatisfied. The kids were also asking, "Is it over already?"

I was really looking forward to this, so I was a bit disappointed.

他の方の体験談をみて小さい子がいてもスリル満点で楽しいときいていたのでワクワクして参加しました
3才と8才の子どもと親子4人で参加しスタッフのかた一人と船を操作する船長さんとのりました

子供たちは漕ぎませんでしたが船に座り、ワイキキの青い海に自分たちでこいで沖へでて、船長さんの合図にあわせて漕いだり、休んだりしていい波が来るのを待って、いいなみがきたら思い切り漕いで陸に向かって漕ぐとその後全く漕がなくてもすごい早さで陸に向かってスーッと進んで1度目はすごく楽しかったです。子供たちもすごく喜んでもう一回やりたいといって再度沖へ、

2回目はなかなか良い波がこないのか待ち時間も長くやっと動かしても1度目よりあまりスリルもなく...
口コミでは3回はあると書いてあったのでもう一度行ってもらえるかと思ったら、何と終了 。。。

せめて、後一回波に乗れていたらそれなりに満足でしたがこの値段で2回しか出来ず、しかも2回目は不発で言葉も微妙なのでもう一回と言うこともできずすっきりしない感じで終わりました。
子供たちももう終わり？ってかんじで...

凄く楽しみにしていたのにちょっとがっかりでした

Wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this to anyone

I experienced this nearly 20 years ago in Australia, but this time it was even better with a height of 120 meters and a longer airtime, making it a lot of fun! My son, who is in the second year of junior high, had his first experience and was so excited, saying he wants to do it again!

I also purchased some photos, and they turned out really well (there were even some funny shots taken without us realizing it, which we enjoyed a lot after returning home), creating great memories.

I definitely want to participate again next time.

20年近く前にオーストラリアで体験しましたが、今回の方が高さもあり(120m)、滞空時間も長く、とっても楽しめました！初体験の息子(中2)も、またやりたい！と大興奮でした。
写真も購入しましたが、とても上手に撮れていて(面白い写真もいつの間にか撮られていて、帰国してからもめちゃめちゃ楽しめて)良い思い出になりました。
次回もぜひ参加したいと思います。

It was our first time snorkeling with kids, and the guides were very kind, making it a fun memory. Although we couldn't see any sea turtles, the guides led us to points where we could see fish and stayed close to the children the whole time. If we have the opportunity to go again, I would definitely like to join this tour!

子連れで初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、ガイド方にはとても親切にしていただき楽しい思い出となりました。ウミガメを見ることはできませんでしたが、ガイドの方が魚がいるポイントに誘導してくれたり、ずっと子供に寄り添ってくださいました。また行く機会があれば、是非このツアーに参加したいです！

Thanks to the two guides, I had a wonderful time. The scenery and the blue of the ocean were all amazing. I want to go again on my next trip to Hawaii!

ガイドさんお二人のおかげで素晴らしい時間を過ごせました。風景も海の青さも全てが最高です。次回のハワイでもまた行きたいです！

Instructor Mat taught us kindly and patiently. The lesson was mainly in English (though he seems to speak a little Japanese), but that wasn't a problem at all. At first, when I mentioned surfing, I responded with paddle surfing (I might have been wrong in using that term), and it seemed he didn't catch the "paddle" part, so the surfing lesson began. I realized this halfway through and asked to switch to a stand-up paddle lesson, but he handled it without any annoyance. I participated with my daughter, and both of us were able to stand up successfully. We even encountered a sea turtle during the lesson, which was a lot of fun!

講師Matが丁寧に優しく教えてくれました。主に英語（日本語も少しは話せるようです）でしたが、特に問題ありませんでした。最初サーフィンと言われ、パドルサーフィン（この言い方がそもそも間違っていたのかも）と回答したところ、パドルという部分が聞こえなかったらしく、サーフィンのレッスンが始まりました。途中で気が付きスタンドアップパドルレッスンに変更してもらいましたが、嫌な顔せず対応してくれました。娘と一緒に参加しましたが娘も私も無事立つことができましたし、レッスン中ウミガメにも遭遇しとても楽しかったです。

I honestly didn't have high expectations since I was just accompanying my sister, but it was really great! The calm blue sea, the distant view of Waikiki, the warm sun, and the pleasant breeze allowed me to have an amazing time like I’ve never experienced before. The bus and boat staff were all cheerful and really lifted our spirits. I'm someone who gets motion sickness easily, but I took some medication beforehand, so I was totally fine. Depending on the season, I recommend the first morning course. Even in the early morning, I thought the sunlight was quite strong by the time we reached the parasailing spot, so it might get hot during the day while parasailing.

妹の付き添いだったので私は正直期待していなかったのですが、とっても良かったです‼︎青い穏やかな海、遠くに見えるワイキキの街、暖かい太陽と心地よい風で今まで体験したことのない素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができました。またバスやボートのスタッフの方々はみんな陽気で気分を盛り上げてくれます。私は酔いやすい方ですが酔い止めを飲んで行ったので全然大丈夫でした。時期にもよるとは思いますが、私は朝一番のコースをおすすめします。朝一番でもパラセイリングのスポットに行くまで結構日差しが強いなと思ったので、昼間だとパラセイリング中も暑くなるかも。

We were picked up in front of the Duke Kahanamoku statue at Waikiki Beach at 9 AM and arrived at the port, just past Ala Moana, in about 30 minutes. We waited for about 45 minutes for the previous tour to finish. While I thought about how time flows in Hawaii, the kids enjoyed watching the fish at the bottom of the port in the different water compared to Japan, and my wife had fun chatting in broken English with a woman in her twenties from New Zealand who was on the same tour.

After a fun wait, a cruiser that can hold about ten people arrived, and we boarded with some anxiety for our first parasailing experience. As we headed out to sea, preparing for about 15 minutes (putting on the harness and life jackets), it suddenly began. Suspended from the parachute at the end of the rope connected to the boat, we were lifted over 100 meters into the air, and from below, we looked like tiny dots.

Once we were up in the air, the feeling was incredible, surrounded by the deep blue sea and the bright blue sky. Depending on the situation, we were sometimes higher than small airplanes or helicopters, so if you're not good with heights, you might want to skip this. For those who are not comfortable, the slight swaying in the wind can be quite terrifying, so motion sickness medication is a must.

We were in the air for about 5 to 10 minutes, splashed down onto the water briefly, and then went back up into the sky before landing on the boat. The crew consisted of two people: the captain and a supporter, who spoke some broken Japanese and made the experience enjoyable. They were very considerate and gentle, especially towards small children and women.

My son said this was "the most fun" part of our trip, and we would definitely like to participate again if we come back to Oahu.

朝９時にワイキキビーチのデュークカハナモク像前からピックアップしてもらい、アラモアナを少し過ぎた港へ約30分で到着。
そこで前のツアーが終わるのを45分くらい待ったでしょうか、これがハワイ時間の流れ方かと思いつつも、子供たちは日本と違う住んだ水で港の底にいる魚たちを見て楽しみ、妻は片言の英語でツアーが一緒になったニュージーランドの20代女性と会話を楽しんでました。
楽しく待ち時間をすごしたのちに10名程が乗れるクルーザーが到着、初めてのパラセイリングに不安も感じながら乗船。
青い海に白い波を立てながら15分ほどパラセイリングの準備（ワイヤーやライフジャケット着用）をしながら沖に出たところで、突然はじまります。
船に繋がれたロープ先のパラシュートに吊るされて100m以上の上空へ、下から見てると豆粒くらいになります。
上空にあがると気分は最高、真っ青の空と眼下の深青の海に囲まれ絶景です。
遠くに小型飛行機やヘリコプターより場合によっては高くなるので高いのが苦手な人はやめた方がいいかもしれません、苦手な人だと少し風で揺れる事もあるので恐怖以外の何物でもないと思われます、酔い止めは必須です。
5分～10分程上空にいて、一度海面にちゃぷんと着水してもう一度空へ、それから船の上に着地します。
クルーはキャプテンとサポーターの２名です、片言の日本語で色々はなして盛り上げてくれ楽しい時間をすごせました。
小さい子供や女性にも優しく、気遣いも非常に紳士です。
今回の旅行で「一番楽しかった」と息子の感想です、またオアフに来たらぜひ参加したいと思います。

This was my second time paragliding, and it was so much fun! Amazing!

However, regarding the "height" that was initially set, I'm not sure if it was really the length I signed up for. Since paragliding is done in pairs, I was with someone else, and I wondered if that person had signed up for the same height too.

パラセーリング自体は2回目ですが、とても楽しかったです！アメイジング！

しかし、最初に設定した「高さ」について、本当に申し込んだ長さなのかが不明。パラセーリングで飛ぶのはペアなので、他の人と一緒だったのですが、その人も同じ高さを申し込んだの？？と思ってしまいました。

I tried parasailing in Hawaii for the first time. At first, I thought it was a bit scary, but once I actually did it, the view was breathtaking, and I wanted to do it again.

初めてハワイでパラセーリングをやりました。
最初はは少々怖いなと思っていたのですが、実際やってみると絶景でまたやりたいと思えました。

It was my first experience, and it was amazing! I felt a bit seasick during the wait on the boat, but thanks to the cheerful and efficient crew, I had a great time. I even saw turtles from the boat!

初めての体験でしたが、最高でした！ボートでの待ち時間に少し酔いましたが、ノリと手際の良いクルーのおかげもあり楽しい時間でした。ボートから亀も見えました！

It was my first surfing experience with her.

Being able to surf in the dream destination of Hawaii was amazing, and the instructor was kind and dedicated, making it a truly enjoyable time. Even for someone like me who can't speak English, it was completely fine.

If you sign up as a pair, it seems you can get photos for free, so we were able to capture our surfing moments.

At the end, you can give a tip (it's not mandatory), so I think it's good to have a little money on hand.

彼女と一緒に彼女とはじめてのサーフィン体験でした。

憧れのハワイでサーフィンができて、インストラクターの方も優しく、ストイックで本当に楽しい時間が過ごせました。
英語が話せない私でも全然大丈夫でした。

2人で申し込むと写真も無料でもらえるようで、波乗り姿をゲットできました。

最後にチップを渡す(強制ではないです)ので、少しお金はあった方がいいと思います。

Adam was an awesome instructor! Pick up and drop off was simple and easy. Staff all very friendly. Loved it!

They will come to pick you up at the hotel on time.
We went out to sea with a group of ten on a motorboat.
If you let them know about the photos ($30) before your turn, it will go smoothly.
I was relieved that I could leave my belongings (change of clothes, phone, wallet, etc.) on the boat while flying. However, I recommend bringing only the essentials. For the flight, it's best to wear a swimsuit and a T-shirt, and go barefoot. The instructions are in English, so I didn't understand everything, but it was fine. (I think it's better to be prepared to get wet.)
I wore sunglasses while flying, and it was fine. If you're not afraid of heights, I definitely recommend it.

時間とおりにホテルに迎えに来てくれます。
船（モーターボート）で10人のグループで沖に出ました。
写真（30ドル）は順番が来るまでに伝えとくと、スムーズに行きます。
手荷物（着替え、携帯、財布類等）は、飛んでいる間、船に置いておけるので安心しました。但し、必要最低限のものを持っていくことをお勧めします。飛ぶときの格好は水着にTシャツ、裸足で、説明は英語なのでわからなかったが、大丈夫です。（濡れる覚悟で参加した方がよろしいと思います。）
私はサングラスもして飛びましたが平気でした。高所恐怖症じゃなかったら、ぜひお薦めです。

I did it at 120m.
Since it was close to the hotel, I walked there, but the hut was somewhat isolated and a bit hard to find.
However, there are no other shops around, so it's okay.

The staff was polite and experienced, so I felt safe trying it out.
I would like to use it again.

１２０mでやりました。
近くのホテルだったので徒歩で行きましたが、小屋がぽつんとあり若干場所が分かりづらいです。
ただし、他にショップはないので大丈夫です。

スタッフは丁寧だし、経験豊富で安心してトライできました。
また利用したいです。

I got to see colorful fish, and at the end of the tour, I even met a sea turtle. It swam right towards me, so I could see its face perfectly. It had such cute eyes. Thank you, Chieko, for working hard to find the spot with the sea turtles! Mr. Dan took many underwater photos for us, which will be great memories.

It was a very busy schedule with a morning tour and returning home in the afternoon, but I was picked up separately from the other participants and was able to return to the hotel earlier than planned. I really appreciated that consideration.

It was a wonderful experience to wrap up the trip. My whole family was very satisfied. Mahalo!

色とりどりのお魚と、ツアーの最後にはウミガメにも会えました。
こちらに向かって泳いできたので、ばっちりお顔が見えました。かわいい目をしていました。
ウミガメのいるポイントを一生懸命探してくれたチエコさん、ありがとう~(^o^)
ダン先生にはたくさんの水中写真を撮っていただきました。いい記念になります。
午前のツアーで、午後には帰国という大変あわただしいスケジュールでしたが、他の参加者とは別の車で送迎していただき、予定よりも早くホテルに戻ることができました。ご配慮、ありがたかったです~~m(_ _)m
旅の最後を締めくくる素敵な体験でした。家族全員、大満足でした。マハロ！

From the hotel transfer to snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, I appreciated all the thoughtful arrangements, which allowed us to participate with joy and peace of mind. They mentioned that the route changes depending on the sea conditions, and that day we encountered a sea turtle right as we entered the water! We were really lucky. I think it would have been difficult to encounter one without a guide.

We travel as a family to various places, but without a doubt, this experience will remain in everyone's memory for a long time. Thank you both!

ホテルの送迎からシュノーケリングでハナウマベイホテルの送迎からシュノーケリングでのハナウマベイ横断まで、いろいろ気配りいただき、楽しく安心して参加できました。その日の海のコンディションによってルートを変えるとのことで、その日は海に入っていきなりウミガメに遭遇！本当にラッキーでしたね。ガイドなしで自分たちだけだったら出逢うのは難しいと思いました。

家族旅行でいろいろなところに行きますが、間違いなくこの経験はみんなの記憶にずっと残るものになるでしょう。お二人ともありがとうございました！

I participated at 90 meters.
The scenery was beautiful and it was truly amazing!!
I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

９０ｍで参加しました。
景色がきれいでほんとうに最高でした！！
また機会があれば参加したいです。

I had always wanted to try it someday.
The explanation was in English, but it wasn't a problem for me, even though I don't understand English well.
The height was a maximum of 150m. Wow, it was high! It was scary!
But I'm glad I challenged myself. It was a fun memory.
Make sure to use sunscreen!

いつかはやってみたいと思っていました。
説明は英語ですが、英語の分からない私でもまあ問題ありません。
高さは最大の150m いや〜高かった！怖かった！
けど、挑戦して良かった。楽しい思い出です。
日焼け止めはしっかりと！

The lessons were mostly in English, and there were a few communication gaps, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I wish it could have lasted a bit longer.

レッスンはほとんど英語で、ちょっと意思疎通出来ないところがありましたが、それはそれで楽しみました。もう少し長くやりたかったです

We participated as a family of three (all adults). I thought only two people could ride, but we were able to ride together as three. We signed up for a height of 120 meters, and there was absolutely no fear of heights; it was a very pleasant and elegant experience. I was a bit worried about being seasick due to lack of sleep, but the staff were so enjoyable that there wasn't even time to feel nauseous (laughs). This was the most fun activity of our trip to Hawaii!

家族三人(皆大人)で参加しました。二人でしか乗れないと思っていましたが、三人で一緒に乗れました。高さは120メートルで申し込みましたが、高さの恐怖など全くなくとても気持ちよく優雅な時間でした。寝不足気味で船酔いを少し心配していましたが、スタッフの方々もとても楽しく酔うような暇さえありませんでした(笑)。今回のハワイで一番楽しいアクティビティでした❗。

We signed up as a family of three. It was written that we would be picked up by a trolley, but on that day, we were picked up by a van. However, there was no confusion. Looking at the photos, it seemed like it was for two people, but there was also a three-person option, allowing our family of three to enjoy it together.

家族３人で申し込みました。迎えはトロリーと書いてありましたが、この日はバンでの迎えでした。ただ迷うことはありませんでした。写真を見ると二人乗りのようでしたが、３人用もあり家族３人同時に楽しむことができました。

They arrived at the hotel on time.
I hardly understood Japanese, but...
They took a lot of photos, but many of them were quite similar... However, I had a great time.

時間通りホテルまで来て頂きました。
日本語は殆ど通じませんが…
写真も凄く沢山とってありましたが、どれも似た様な物が沢山…でも、凄く楽しかったです。

I experienced 120m parasailing. It’s quite high. You can see all of Waikiki, and the view is amazing!!

120mのパラセリングを体験しました。結構、高いです。
ワイキキが一望でき、眺めは最高!!でした。

This is an experience you can only have in Hawaii! I thought so and decided to participate! The journey to go parasailing was also enjoyable, and seeing Hawaii from the sky was amazing! I would love to do it again if I have the chance!

こんな体験ハワイでしかできない！そう思って参加させていただきました！パラセイリングするまでの移動も楽しく、空から一望できるハワイも最高でした！また機会があればやりたいです！

After I mentioned how great the parasailing experience I had previously was, I participated with a couple of friends who were eager to try it out as well (and together we total over 240 years!). The driver shared recommendations for restaurants in Waikiki and tips for great souvenirs during the ride, and while we waited to board the boat, he introduced us to some fish and birds he called his "friends."

The crew on the boat was playful and incredibly cheerful, and they willingly took photos of the four of us together. Parasailing was enjoyable both while soaring in the sky and while watching, creating a sense of unity with the other participants. This program was filled with smiles, and I definitely feel like I will participate again!

以前参加したパラセイリングが良かったと話したら ぜひやってみたいと熱望する友人夫妻と 4人で参加しました（なんと合計240歳超！）
ドライバーさんは送迎中にワイキキのお薦めのレストランや お得なお土産情報などを教えてくれ 船に乗るまでの待ち時間には友だち（?!）だという魚や鳥を紹介してくれました
船のクルーはお茶目で底抜けに明るく 船上での4人一緒の写真もすすんで撮ってくれました
パラセイリングは空を舞っている時も見ている時も楽しく 同船の方との一体感があります
笑顔がいっぱいのこのプログラム またきっと参加する気がしています
