All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

Having a private guide made the tour that much better, such a great location to kayak!

Everything was well-managed and clear instructions and safety gear provided.

Daughters did this on their graduation trip and they had a blast together!

This was our second time doing this sandbar tour with this company. The staff is always very nice and there are beautiful views. The first trip went really well however, this second trip was not so great.
I am aware of high and low tide times which both times were high tide, but this time the water was over my head and windy with a pretty strong current. I am 5’ 1” and it made it near impossible to do anything at all. I know the staff cannot control ocean levels but just something to keep in mind for shorter people or people with kids. I would have been better off just saving the money and walking out into the regular ocean as far as I could before it got too deep.

The banana boat can accommodate six people in two rows for two families. It was so much fun! You won't get thrown off. Due to the tides, we couldn't reach the sandy beach, but that's understandable. You don't need water shoes at all. Both stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking were enjoyable, and even though we didn't see any turtles, we were happy to see lots of fish. Staying in the water for too long can get chilly, and if you get out while still wet, it gets even colder, so having a dry towel or a dry jacket is necessary. There are cold juices or water on the boat, but you can pay for hot coffee. My daughter and I kept drinking hot water to warm ourselves up. Also, my husband almost caused a commotion when he dropped his phone, which was in a waterproof bag, but the staff found it, and we were really grateful for that. Thank you so much for your help at that time. Next time, I’d like to go when the sandy beach is visible!

バナナボートは2家族の横2列の6人乗り。めっちゃ楽しかったです。振り落とされる事はありません。潮の満ち引きなので仕方ないですが砂浜には出会えませんでした。ウォーターシューズはなくても全然大丈夫。サップもカヤックも楽しかったし、カメには出会えなかったけどたくさんの魚を見られて良かったです。海の中にずっといると冷えるし、上がっても濡れたままだと更に冷えるので、乾いたタオルか乾いた上着が必要です。船上には冷たいジュースか水ですが、お金を払えば暖かいコーヒーがあります。私と娘はお湯をひたすら飲んで身体を温めました。あと、旦那が防水袋に入れたスマホを落としてしまい、大騒ぎになりかけましたが、スタッフが見つけてくれて本当に助かりました。あの時はありがとうございました。次は砂浜が出てる時に行ってみたいですね〜

I had the opportunity to go snorkeling in Okinawa, and this was my second time. I felt secure participating with a Japanese instructor. Although we didn't see any sea turtles, they helped us search for spots where we might find them while considering our stamina.

They took care of everyone's valuables and provided changing areas, showers, and restrooms, but since it was a tour, everything was done efficiently. They also offered wetsuit rentals for a fee, explaining that it would help prevent injuries from coral and keep us warm. They advised us to keep swimming without lifting our heads when we found coral (lifting our heads would cause our feet to drop and hit the coral), so wearing just a swimsuit was fine.

The afternoon session was hot, so I didn't feel cold, but my thighs got sunburned while diving. They laid down mats on the sandy beach to keep things clean, and I appreciated the bottled water and snacks provided.

I wasn't used to the tipping culture and missed the chance to give a tip, so I thought it would have been easier if they had included the tip in the total amount when I paid the $25 entrance fee for Hanauma Bay. The service was excellent, so I recommend it even for those who are anxious about their English skills.

シュノーケリングは沖縄でやったことがあり2回目でしたが、日本語インストラクターで安心して参加できました。
ウミガメは見られませんでしたが、私達の体力を気にしつつ何度かウミガメがいそうな場所を一緒に探して下さいました。
貴重品は皆のをまとめて保管して頂けて、着替える場所やシャワー、トイレはありますが、ツアーなのでテキパキにという感じです。有料でスウェットスーツの貸出もあり、珊瑚で怪我しないようにするのと、寒さ対策できるとの説明はありましたが、珊瑚を見つけたら泳ぎ続けて顔を上げないように(顔を上げると足が下がってぶつかるため)アドバイス頂き水着でも大丈夫でした。また午後の回は暑かったので寒さは感じませんでしたが、潜っていても腿の裏が真っ赤に日焼けしてました。
砂浜で汚れないようにシートを敷いて下さったり、ペットボトルの水やスナック菓子も頂けて有難かったです。
チップ文化に慣れておらず渡しそびれてしまったので、ハナウマ湾の入場料25$をお渡しする際にチップも含んだ金額で仰って頂けたら、チップお渡ししやすかったかなと思いました。サービスは大満足なので英語が不安な方にもオススメです。

Great experience with friendly staff and beautiful scenery with a plethora of activities to choose from!

Our family, including 5 children ages 7 to 20 & 3 seniors took this boating excursion. It was fantastic! I recommend getting the all inclusive package so you can enjoy the banana boat & bumper tube. All the staff were great & the entertainment was good too. The staff keep everyone safe in the water & were constantly looking out for guest safety.

I made a last-minute reservation for parasailing in the morning!

I was told that for an additional $40, the crew would take photos, but since I brought my action camera, I declined (it was no problem to bring it on board).

Unfortunately, it was raining in the morning, so the scenery wasn't very beautiful...

However, I still got to enjoy the thrill and exhilaration of parasailing, and I saw a beautiful rainbow!

The captain gradually extended the rope, and once it was fully extended, he started to raise the altitude. In the end, we had the classic splashdown into the sea!

Thanks to the captain's sailing skills and the crew's attentive support, I had a great time!

I hope to do it again on a sunny day next time!

急遽パラセイリングをするため朝の時間で予約しました！
参加費と別で40ドルを払えばクルーの方が写真を撮ってくれるとのことでしたが
アクションカメラを持ってきていたので断りました（問題なく持って乗れます）

しかし朝はあいにくの雨で景色が綺麗とは言えず、、、

しかしパラセイリングの楽しさと爽快さ、そして綺麗な虹が見れました！

船長が徐々にロープを伸ばし最長まで伸びたら巻き上げ高度を上げていく流れです
最後はお約束の海面チャポン！

船長さんの操船テクニックやクルーさんの丁寧なサポートもあり楽しく過ごせました！

次は天気のいい日にできたら！

Having a Japanese guide with a small group was very reassuring. The explanations were thorough, which I really appreciated as it was my first time!

少人数で日本語ガイドさんが常についてくださっていたので非常に安心でした。説明も丁寧で初めての自分にとってはありがたかったです！

My wife and I participated together. It was my first time, and to be honest, it was amazing. It was my wife's second time, but it seemed to be much more challenging than before, and she was clinging to the rope in fear the whole time. Including those moments, it was a great memory.

妻と2人で参加しました。私は初でしたが率直に言って最高でした。妻は人生2回目でしたが以前よりかなり高度があったようで、ずっと怯えてロープにしがみついてました。そんなことも含めて良い思い出です。

I thought it might be a little scary, but the breathtaking views and the refreshing feeling are incredible. The captain has a great sense of humor, and you might get splashed in the sea once, haha. I want to experience it again!

少し怖いのかなと思っていましたが、絶景と爽快感半端ないです。船長さんユーモアで、一回海につけられます笑
また体験したいです

The sunset at Ala Moana was wonderful. The weather was perfect, and I had a valuable experience. It was neither too hot nor too cold, and I enjoyed a pleasant breeze.

アラモアナのサンセット。素晴らしかった。お天気もバッチリで貴重な体験できました。暑くも寒くもなく気持ちの良い風の中整いました。

Beautiful spot, tide wasn't super low (which you can't really control) but the snorkeling was just mediocre, per my friends that did it. We were on the boat most of the time eating cup of noodles, the live music was awesome and one of the guys that took people out for the banana ride was super nice and fun to chat with. The guy handing out goggles was a bit all over the place, I stood in line twice to get my goggles and he kept giving everyone theirs as I just stood there waiting and I almost thought he was doing that on purpose as it happened 2x so I just gave up and said well I guess I'm not snorkeling today. That was a bit disappointing. I think for the price, it wasn't really worth it. There are better tours here on the island.

I really enjoyed the live music on the boat. The crew was very friendly and helpful. We had plenty of time on the sand bar with a variety of things to do. It was lots of fun.

The staff were all smiling, kind, and spoke Japanese very well, creating a bright and reassuring atmosphere where I could enjoy myself! The light snacks, including sandwiches and chips, were delicious, and I bought some souvenirs at ABCstore. I didn't get seasick, and there was wonderful music on board, creating a happy space where all participants were smiling. The water activities were enjoyable enough even with just the free options! I also tried the bumper tube as an option, which was more intense and active than I imagined, but I managed to endure it (laughs). I almost felt like I was going to heaven, but since it was something I had longed to do, I was glad I chose the option! I was also surprised by the cleanliness of the ship! It was so much fun that the three hours flew by! If I have the chance to come to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate!

スタッフさん全員笑顔で優しく日本語も上手でとっても明るく、安心して楽しめました！軽食のサンドイッチとスナック菓子も美味しくて、ABCstoreでお土産に買いました^^船酔いもせず、船内では素敵な演奏もあり参加者全員が笑顔で幸せな空間に包まれてました♪ウォーターアクティビティは無料の中だけでも十分に楽しめます！私はオプションでバンパーチューブもしましたが、想像以上に激しくてアクティブでしたが、必死に耐え抜きました(笑)昇天しかけましたが、念願だったのでオプションでやってよかったです！船内の清潔さにも驚きました！楽しくて3時間あっという間でした！またハワイに来る機会があれば是非参加したいです♪

We loved every minute of it! Super fun! For sure, we will be back .

First of all, the height is amazing.
The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from this height was fantastic!
Also, jumping into the sea before the collection was super fun.

まず高さが最高。
この高さからのワイキキからダイヤモンドヘッドの眺めが最高でした♪
さらに回収前に海にジャポンしてくれるのもめちゃ楽しかった。

The staff's service was perfect! They explained things in a way that was easy for us to understand, even though we hardly knew any English! Driving the boat was just right, and the speed was exhilarating!

スタッフの対応は完璧でした！
ほとんど英語が分からない自分達に分かりやすく説明ももらいました！
ボートを運転も程良くスピードも出してくれて爽快でした！

Our family had such a wonderful day, the kids were so engaged with the viewing window.

Although it was cloudy, we were able to get a panoramic view of Waikiki from a high vantage point. The contrast between the ocean and the city was stunning, and it really made me feel like I was in Hawaii! I highly recommend this for a first-day activity.

The local crew was also very friendly, which made the experience even better.

曇天の中の催行でしたが、ワイキキの町並みを高いところから一望できました。
海と街のコントラストももく、ハワイにやってきたな！と気分が上がりました♪
初日のアクティビティにおすすめです。

現地クルーの方も親切でとてもよかったです。

I went a while ago, and as soon as I arrived, they kindly guided me through the tour details. The tour itself had Japanese tourists as well, and I really enjoyed it! The guide from Hawaii was very lively, and during the parasailing, I felt like I had the Hawaiian sea all to myself. I could see Diamond Head clearly, and we went quite far out to sea, taking us to areas that are not accessible just for sightseeing. However, depending on the wave conditions, you can really get seasick. The guide was considerate and even gave me ginger candy after we returned to land. I'm really glad I participated.

時間前に行きましたが、行くとすぐに丁寧にツアー内容を案内してくれました。
ツアー自体も日本人観光客もいて、とても楽しめました！！
ガイドのハワイの方もたくさん盛り上げてくれましたし、パラセーリング中もハワイの海を独り占めしている気分で味わえました。ダイヤモンドヘッドまでしっかり見えて、かなり沖まで船で出るので、観光だけではいけない方の海まで連れて行ってくれます。ただ、波の状況によってはほんとに船酔いします。ガイドさんも気にしてくれて、地上に戻った後も生姜の飴をくれました。本当に参加してよかったです

Extraordinary parasailing! It was incredibly liberating, and the view of Hawaii was amazing. They also let us splash into the sea, and the service was very attentive!

非日常のパラセーリング！とても開放感があり、ハワイの景色を一望でき最高でした。海へちゃぽんもやってくださり、とても丁寧でした！

I was anxious because I couldn't speak English by myself, but the staff were very kind and it was fun. I also spotted a sea turtle along the way. I got a little wet from the splashes, but the waves weren't too bad, the scenery was beautiful, and the breeze felt great—it was the best!

日本人は私1人で英語も話せ無いので不安でしたが、スタッフの方もとても親切で楽しかったです。
途中で海亀も見かけました。
水しぶきで少し濡れますが、揺れもそれほどでは無く、景色も良いし風も気持ち良くて最高でした。

The boatman was cheerful, shouting "Shark!" and causing a commotion, even dropping me into the sea (just my bottom). It was a whirlwind experience that went by in no time.

船頭のお兄さんは明るく、サメだー叫ぶわチューせい喚くわ海に落とすわ(お尻だけ)大騒ぎで、あっという間の体験でした。

This was my second time participating! This time, there were Japanese receptionists and instructors, which made me feel very at ease! Surfing was also a lot of fun!

今回が2回目の参加でした！今回は日本人の受付の方とインストラクターさんがいてとても安心でした！
サーフィンもすごく楽しかったです！

Our honeymoon trip to Hawaii was amazing! There were Japanese staff members who explained everything to us, and other staff spoke Japanese in a friendly manner, making our time enjoyable! We tried stand-up paddleboarding, snorkeling, and kayaking. Although there were limited numbers for stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, people gradually got bored, so it naturally came around to our turn, which was funny. There was also a space for volleyball! The light snack donuts were tastier than I expected! I wish I had brought marine shoes for snorkeling. The shuttle bus was cold.

新婚旅行で初ハワイ！
日本人のスタッフさんもいて説明してくださり、その他のスタッフさんもカタコトで日本語を話してフレンドリーに話してくださり、楽しい時間を過ごせました！
supやシュノーケル、カヤックをしました。
supやカヤックは数に限りがあるものの、次第にみなさん飽きるので、おのずと順番が回ってきます笑
バレーボール🏐もできるスペースもありました！
軽食のドーナツも思ったより美味しかったです！シュノーケルのときは、マリンシューズとかも持って行ってたらよかったなーと。
送迎のバスが寒かったです。

Since we had a Japanese guide, we were able to relax and enjoy snorkeling with explanations in Japanese! My friend, who was snorkeling for the first time, had a great time! It was amazing to see the fish up close!

日本人のガイドさんだったので、日本語で説明いただき、安心してシュノーケルができました！一緒に行った友人は初シュノーケルでしたが、とても楽しんでいました！魚が近くで見えて感激です！

It was all in English, but I managed to get by somehow! I enjoyed it while grooving to the music! I have a tendency to get motion sickness, and sure enough, I felt sick, but when I just said, "I feel sick," they quickly understood and guided me to a place where I could throw up. It was higher than I expected, but it felt good!

英語のみでしたが、何となくで乗り切れる感じです！
音楽にノリながら楽しめました！
私自身良いやすい体質で、案の定酔いましたが、「I feel sick（気分が悪いです）」だけ伝えるとすぐ理解して吐いてもいい場所まで誘導してくださいました☺︎
思ったより高く、気持ちよかったです

I had experienced this a few years ago and participated for the second time, and the fun was just as amazing as before!! The first pair of guys were completely soaked in the sea, but since we didn't want to get wet, we communicated that, and we managed to stay dry! Haha

数年前に一度経験しており2度目の参加でしたが、楽しさは変わらず最高でした！！最初の男性2人組は全身海に浸かって水びたしでしたが、私たちは濡れたくなかったのでそれを伝えたところ、濡れずに済みました！笑
