All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

Very nice and safe activity for my family.
I cannot forget that.
Thank you for the guide's kind and funny support.

The highlight of our trip. The crew was amazing! The scooters and all the fish were amazing. Humming around the ocean with the family... once in a lifetime opportunity. Thanks everyone!

My daughter and I were first timers at parasailing. We were a little nervous, but from the time we got in the van to be taken to the boat, our nerves were calmed immediately by the driver. Once we got to the boat, the crew was amazing and were funny and put our minds at ease. We loved it so much and want to do it again!

It was a trip with six people from three generations of our family, but only my husband, son, and daughter participated in paddle surfing. Meanwhile, my parents and I were able to sit under a parasol reserved for tour participants and watch.
The kids fell a couple of times, and my husband fell five or six times, but they all came back quite tired after using a lot of leg muscles. While watching, they were all excited and said, "I want to try!!" but it seems that there's a difference between watching and actually doing it.

親子3世代6人での旅でしたが、パドルサーフィンに参加したのは、夫、息子、娘の3人でした。その間、祖父母と私はツアー参加者専用のパラソルの下で座りながら見ることができました。
パドルサーフィンでは、子供たちは2・３回、夫は５・６回落ちていましたが、かなり足の筋肉を使いとても疲れた様子で帰ってきました･･･
見ているときは「やりたい！！」と張り切っていましたが、やはり見るのとやるのとでは違うようです。

We participated as a group of six across three generations. Initially, I thought my grandparents would wait at the hotel since they wouldn't be doing parasailing, but they were able to join us on the boat as companions. They ended up enjoying the cruising experience more than expected and said it was really nice.

The four of us rode in different combinations: first with the two kids and my mother, and then with the two kids and my father. The children got to experience it twice without any additional fees, which felt like a little bonus.

We had 96 photos taken, and the SD card cost $30. I tried to take pictures while parasailing myself, but it was hard to get good shots from a distance, so I was glad to have those taken for us.

It was a lot of fun, but I did struggle with how much to tip at the end, so I think it would be better if that was included from the start.

親子3世代6人で参加しました。
祖父母はパラセイリングはしないのでホテルで待っていてもらおうと思っていましたが、付き添いで船だけでも乗れるのいうので一緒に参加しました。でも思いがけずクルージング気分が楽しめてとてもよかったと言っていました。
私達4人は最初は子供二人と母、2回目は子供二人と父という組み合わせで乗り、子供たちは2回も体験しましたが、追加料金がかかることもなくちょっと得した気分でした。
写真は96枚も撮っていただき、ＳＤカードで30ドルでした。
パラセイリングをしているところの写真は自分で撮ろうとすると距離もあり、なかなかうまく撮れなかったので、撮っていただいてよかったです。
とっても楽しかったのですが、やはり最後にチップの金額でとても迷ったので、最初から組み込まれているといいと思いました。

My first experience with parasailing. Our family, along with two groups of American guests and a friend's family, boarded a small boat and headed offshore. My son was nervous at first seeing parasailing for the first time, but he came back with a big smile after actually doing it.
It's common to get dropped into the water when landing, so I recommend asking the staff for a "Dry Landing Please" to avoid getting wet.

I want to go again!

初体験のパラセイリング。アメリカ人のお客さん2組と私達家族と一緒に行っていた友人家族の4組で小型の船に乗り沖合へ。初めて見るパラセイリングに顔が固まっていた息子でしたが、実際やると笑顔で帰ってきました。
普通は降りる際ぽちゃん、と海に落とされるのがお約束のようで、「Dry Landing Please」と濡らさずに着地させてもらえるようスタッフにお願いすることをオススメします。

また行きたいな。

We are a couple in our fifties. I'm not good with heights, but I participated at my husband's request. I was nervous when getting on the boat, but the efficient crew set everything up, and before I knew it, we were up in the sky. Since we were over the ocean, I didn't feel the height much, and it was refreshing; I kept shouting, "This feels great!" In the end, I enjoyed it more than my husband did.

50を軽く超えた夫婦です。私は高い所は苦手ですが主人の希望で参加しました。
船に乗る時はドキドキしていましたが、手際のいいクルーにセッティングされてあっと言う間に空の上へ。
海の上なので高さはさほど感じなくて気分爽快、ずっと「気持ちいいー！」と叫んでいました。結果、主人よりも楽しんでいました。

My daughter (13 years old) and I went parasailing together. Since my daughter was about to start her monthly cycle, we made an early morning reservation (8:00) two days after arriving in Hawaii. It was so much fun that we were laughing the whole time. The experience lasted about six and a half minutes, which was longer than I expected, and that was great. Up in the air, it was incredibly quiet, and we could see Diamond Head very well. I think early morning is better since it might be hot during the day. We also got photos for $30, which I plan to use for our New Year's cards. I enjoy high places and roller coasters, but I didn't feel nauseous at all while on the boat or parasailing.

娘(13歳)と2人でパラセイリングしました。娘が月に一度の女の子の日が来そうだったので、ハワイ到着後に早朝予約(8:00)で前々日に予約取れました。楽しすぎて、ずーっと笑いっぱなしでした。開始から終了までは6分半位で思っていたより長くてよかったです。上空では、凄く静かでダイヤモンドヘッドもよくみえました。多分昼間の時間帯は暑いので早朝がいいと思います。写真($30)もSDでもらい年賀状に使おうと思います。高い所、ジェットコースターも好きな方ですが、ボートもパラセイリングも酔う様な感じでは無かったです。

At first, I thought it would be scary, but once I tried it, it was not scary at all, and the view was really beautiful! I was partially submerged in the sea, which was also very fun and became a great memory! The staff entertained us with various conversations!

最初はこわいと思っていたけれど飛んでみたら全然怖くなくて景色もとてもキレイでした‼
海に少し沈められました。それもとても面白くていい思い出になりました❗スタッフさんはいろいろな喋りで楽しませてくれました❗

I had a very enjoyable experience.
The staff were friendly, and it was fine even though I couldn't speak Japanese.

My daughter and I signed up for 120 meters, while the other family signed up for 150 meters, but when we got there, it didn't seem to matter at all; we were all launched.

It was fun.
I want to do it again.

とても楽しい経験ができました。
スタッフの人も気さくで、日本語通じなくても平気でした。

娘と私は120メートルで、他の家族は150メートルで申し込みましたが、行ってみるとそんなこと全然関係ない感じで、飛ばされます。

楽しかったです。
またやりたいです。

The pickup driver, shop staff, and guide were all friendly and kind. The tour itself was coordinated to match my level. I would like to use this service again.

ピックアップのドライバー、ショップスタッフ、ガイド共にフレンドリーで親切な対応でした。
ツアー自体も自分のレベルに合わせてコーディネートしてくれました。
また利用したいです。

It was fun and we had a good time. Only wish the course could have been bigger.

The staff was friendly. The weather was nice too, which helped create great memories flying with my kids. I don't think it's something we can do often, but we had a wonderful time talking about places like Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head with the kids.

スタッフが感じよかった。天気もよかったせいもありますが子供と飛んでいい思い出ができました。何度も翔ようなものではないと思いますが、ワイキキビーチ・ダイアモンドヘッドなど、子供とあそこがどーのとか話しながらいい時間がすごせました。

As first time snorkelling for our family instructors Dan and Chieko were great helping us all the way would recommend this tour

Take the earliest shuttle (6:00 a.m. from your hotel) to avoid beach crowd and avoid the park fee (if you get there before 7:00 -- no additional park fee!).
Driver was courteous, informative and fun. Equipment was in great condition, and you can expand on what you get (which is basics, but enough) for very little cost.
Had about 2.5 hours of snorkeling fun.

This was my second time participating, following last year. The waves were calm and the sea was very beautiful on the day of the event. Under the guidance of Mr. Dan, I was able to see many fish. I was disappointed that I couldn't meet Bob the moray eel this year, but then Ms. Chieko said, "There are turtles." I was thrilled to see a sea turtle underwater! My husband and son got out partway through, but when they realized there were turtles, Ms. Chieko went all the way to the beach to call out, "There are sea turtles!" Their hospitality and guidance were truly amazing. If I can come again next year, I will definitely ask for them! Thank you very much.

昨年に続き、2回目の参加でした。
当日は波も穏やかで海もとても綺麗でした。
ダン先生の誘導のもと、たくさんの魚も見れました。
今年はウツボのボブちゃんに会えず残念・・と思っていたところに、チエコ先生から「亀いるよ」と。海中で海ガメ感激でした❗❗
夫と息子は途中で上がってしまったの ですが、亀がいるのが分かると、チエコ先生はわざわざ、浜まであがり「海ガメいるよ」と声をかけに行ってもくれました。
お二人のホスピタリティ溢れるガイドは本当にサイコー⤴⤴です。
もし、来年も来ることができたら、必ずお願いしようと思います❗
ありがとうございました。

Bob and Akima picked us up at 7.25 am outside Hawaiian Prince Hotel, then picked up 2 other groups of 3 making 8 of us. We drove out of Waikiki for around 20 mins with interesting commentary about Hawaii from Akima before reaching our first stop - a beautiful picturesque beach where it"s possible to see dolphins. Akima spoke Japanese so stayed with the 6 Japanese people leaving Bob to me and my friend. Bob told us a lot about the area and if you want to know more about surfing then Bob's your man. We then moved on to a small group of shops where we bought items for our picnic lunch later.
We next went to a Kaneana,(Makua cave) a very old sea cave with many legends attached to it. Bob was a great storyteller telling us about the legend of the shapeshifter shark man of Makua cave. Then you can explore the cave a bit if you dare!
Next we stopped at the stunning Makaha valley which again has a great legend associated with it and looks like scenery from Kong Island or Jurassic Park.
We were really lucky driving to our next spot as Bob spotted a rare Monk Seal basking on the rocks.
A couple more lovely spots then time for our lunch at Ku'ilioloa Heiau, and then the snorkelling at Pokai Bay. First Bob checked our swimming ability then gave us mask,snorkel and fins plus a life vest. Bob is very patient and stays with you all the time gently encouraging you to explore the sealife. I'm not confident snorkelling but felt very safe with Akima and Bob. We saw corals, beautiful colourful fish and 2 sea turtles.
It was a really great day which we would definitely recommend to anyone wishing to see a much less touristy authentic side of Oahu, the scenery is just beautiful and excellent snorkelling. Many thanks to Akima and Bob who made our day special.

We had a great time on the boat with our two kids and baby. They lived seeing the fish and turtles through the glass. The captain and his mate were very friendly. We would do this again!

I participated in a different tour this time. At first, the English explanation was hard to understand, and I was really worried if I would be able to ride. However, I was able to ride from the first time. Since I had my first experience two years ago, I wonder if my body remembered it? I was able to fully enjoy the time until the end, and since it takes time to get to the waves, there was no need to wait even with a large group; the group lesson was more than enough.

前回と違うツアーに参加しました。最初英語の説明でわかりにくく本当に乗れるのかな？と不安でしたが１回目から乗れました。二年前に初めて経験していたので体も覚えていたのかな？あとは時間まで十分に満喫できました、波のところまで行くのに時間もかかるので大勢でも待つことはなくグループレッスンで十分ですよ。

All the guided snorkeling tours were booked, so we decided to just book the shuttle to Hanauma Bay and do our own snorkeling excursion. It worked out perfectly! The driver arrived at the pick up location on time, was polite and personable, and we didn't have to get up super early to snag a parking spot before the lot filled up. And the snorkeling was great!

The time described on the website was closely followed. Staff are friendly and accommodating.

This was a tour I had heard about from an acquaintance and absolutely wanted to try. It may seem simple to paddle out with a canoe and ride the waves back, but it’s incredibly fun. It takes about 30 minutes, so it's a great way to make some good memories when you have a little free time. I highly recommend it!

これは知り合いから聞いていて絶対やりたいと思っていたツアーでした。
カヌーで沖までこいで波に乗って帰ってくる単純に思えますが最高に楽しいです。
時間にして３０分くらいなのでちょっと時間が空いた時に参加すると良い思い出になりますよ。
おすすめです！

Even though it was our family's first time, we were kindly taught. My wife, who usually doesn't exercise, still had a good experience. It's something you can't easily experience in Japan, so I recommend it.

家族初めてでも親切に教えてもらえました。普段運動をしない妻でもなんとか良い体験になりました。日本だとなかなか体験できませんのでお勧めです。

Had a blast. Crew is awesome and very helpful. Would definitely use this company again.

I booked this activity online. The driver picked us up from our hotel in Waikiki on time and drove us to the activity center which is about 25 minutes drive from Waikiki. Once we arrived they processed us with waivers etc. quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately that's when the wait started. We waited about 30 minutes for the shuttle boat to take us to the barge where the jet skis are docked. The shuttle ride is only about 10 minutes but once we arrived at the barge there was another 45 minute wait till we actually got on the jet skis. After a 30 minute ride, we were shuttled back to the activity center and then waited another 40 minutes for the shuttle bus to take us back to Waikiki.

The jet skiing was very fun. Jet skiing in the ocean with waves is a lot of fun with large sprays and a good speed rush. The staff were very friendly but they are very busy and you have to be prepared to wait around. In total it took us about 4 hours door to door to complete this activity.

The photos are very beautiful, and I was able to fully enjoy the sea and sky of Hawaii. However, since the sea can be a bit rough, I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

お写真もとっても綺麗でハワイの海と空を堪能できました。ただ海が少し荒いので酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。

At the strong request of my 6-year-old daughter, I participated with my 9-year-old son.

There weren't many places that allowed parasailing for 6-year-olds, so we signed up here where it was possible for ages 5 and up.

Since it was my first time parasailing as well, I felt a bit anxious about experiencing it with my daughter, who was right at the age limit.

Together, we didn't even weigh 70 kilograms, and I wondered if we might get blown away if the wind picked up.

However...

My daughter was completely unafraid and smiled the whole time. She was so excited, saying it was like a swing and so much fun!

Since it was our first time, we challenged ourselves to 90 meters, but because the water was below, I didn't feel the height much at all and wasn't scared at all.

She enjoyed jumping into the sea, exclaiming how cold it was!

Now she wants to try an even higher parasailing next time.

My 9-year-old son is not fond of heights, so he watched from the boat, but thankfully, he didn't feel any seasickness, possibly thanks to the motion sickness medication he took just in case. He seemed to really enjoy just being out on the boat with the refreshing wind.

When we boarded, there were three other groups with us, but we were the only Asians.

However, everyone came together, blasting music and enjoying it in true American style, which was great.

The staff were also entertaining and very kind to the children.

If we have the chance again, we would love to come back here!

6歳の娘のたっての希望で9歳の息子と参加しました。

他のところでは6歳でパラセーリングができるところはあまりなかったので、5歳以上可能とのこちらで申し込みました。

私自身もパラセーリング初体験だったので、体験する前は年齢制限ギリギリの娘と一緒にパラセーリングを体験する事に少し不安もありました。

体重も二人合わせて70キロもないし、風がふいたら飛ばされちゃうんじゃないかなー、と。

しかし、、、、

娘は全く怖がらず、終始笑顔。
ブランコみたいで楽しいー！！と大興奮でした。

初めてだったので90メートルに挑戦したのですが、下が海なので、高さもあまり感じず、全く怖くなかったです。

定番の海にお尻ポチャもつめたーいっ！と言いながらとっても楽しんでいました。

今度はもっと高いパラセーリングに挑戦したいそうです。

9歳の息子は高いところが苦手なので、ボートで見学だったのですが、心配していた船酔いも、念のために服用した酔い止めが効いていたのか全くなく、ボートで沖に出るだけでも、風が気持ちよく、とても楽しかったようです。

私たちが乗船した時は他に3組の方々がいらっしゃったのですが、アジア人は私たちだけ。

しかしみんなが一体となり、音楽をガンガンかけ、アメリカのノリで楽しめたのも良かったです。

スタッフの方も面白く、子供たちにとっても優しかったです。

また機会があったら、こちらでお願いします！！

Awesome crew!!! Made our boat ride enjoyable and our experience that much more exciting.

It was my first time parasailing in Hawaii. We were the only Japanese people there, and since we could only communicate in English, I only understood bits and pieces of what was being said, but it was fun even at 120 meters! In fact, there was no confirmation of how many meters we were going, so even if I paid for the 150-meter option, I might not have been able to tell the difference. I bought the photos for $30! Don't forget that tips are also necessary.

Hawaiiでは初めてのパラセーリング。
日本人は私たちだけで英語でしか通じないため、話してる内容はなんとなくしかわかりませんでしたが、120mでも楽しかったです！むしろ、何メートルですって確認はなかったので、150mの料金を払っても体感ではわからないかも。写真は30ドルで買いました！チップも必要ですので、忘れずに。

We participated as a group of four. At first, we preferred canoeing, but the initial part was free time. The kayak was difficult to paddle against the headwind on the way out, but it was fast on the return with the tailwind. Tomo's explanation on the uninhabited island was very good. Thank you very much.

４人で参加しました。最初カヌーがよかったのですが、最初がフリータイムでした。カヤックが向かい風で行きはなかなか進みませんでしたが、帰りは追い風で早かったです。無人島でのトモさんの説明がとてもよかったです。ありがとうございました。
