All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

Had a great time with these ladies! They did an awesome job explaining and teaching us what to do. Would definitely surf with them again!

Our scheduled tour was canceled due to engine trouble. We were asked to reschedule for the next day, but since it was our return date, we strongly requested to join another boat tour that was departing 30 minutes later. There was only one other group besides us, and I think the parasailing time was longer than expected. We also got to drive the cruiser and were able to see whales in the distance. We took photos during the flight with another group using our smartphones and ended up purchasing the photos for $30. We chose the 120m height, which I thought was just right. It was a lot of fun, and my friend said it was the most enjoyable among all the marine sports.

当日予約していた時間にはエンジントラブルのため欠航となりました。翌日に変更をお願いされましたが、帰国日のため変更ができず強くお願いをし３０分後に出発する別のボートのツアーに参加しました。私たちの他に１組しかおらず、パラセーリングの時間も長かったと思います。クルーザーも運転させてもらい、遠くにクジラを見ることもできました。飛行中の写真をスマートフォンでもう一組と撮影し合いましたが、３０＄払って写真も購入しました。１２０mを選びましたが、高さも丁度よかったと思います。すごく楽しく友人はマリンスポーツの中で１番楽しかったと言っていました。

The welcome bus was clean, and we enjoyed drinks before boarding. There was also a service that took photos with our camera after we boarded. It was a packed experience. The ship was also clean, and we felt safe using it. We will use this service again.

迎えのバスもきれいで、乗船前にドリンクをいただき
乗船後も当方のカメラで写真を撮ってくれるサービスもあり
盛りだくさんでした
船もきれいで安心して利用することができましたまた利用します

This is my first time with the Waikiki Dive Center. Amazing and Unforgettable experience.

Although it is introductory scuba diving, the instructor will actually give you freedom to swim around while accompanying you based on your needs and previous experience. (Other company's instructor will actually hold your tank while diving, which is annoying)

99% safe and they will never force you to do anything uncomfortable.

Highly Recommended.

I did the 120m parasailing! The person who picked us up was very playful and kept us laughing the whole time! However, the pickup person, the instructor, and the receptionist do not speak Japanese.

If you're unsure whether to choose 120m or 150m, I recommend the 120m! Since you're over the ocean, the height sensation doesn't feel much different, and for an additional $30, you can buy an SD card with several photos taken during the experience, making it almost the same price as the 150m option, which feels like a good deal!

Here’s a bit of a spoiler: when you finish flying, the rope automatically retracts and you return to the boat, but you get dropped into the sea from a low height... It feels like a splash. So, you will get wet! I brought denim shorts to change into, but there was no place to change, so I just wore my denim. Also, I was told to place my own towel on the seat to avoid wetting the bus, so definitely bring a towel!

- Something to wear over your wet swimsuit
- A towel

It's better to bring those. Lastly, for those using an iPhone 7 (which is water-resistant), it seems you can fly while holding your iPhone 7 (at your own risk), but just in case, bring a waterproof bag with a strap to ensure you don’t drop it, or it might sink to the bottom of the sea... It can also get in the way when you're holding onto the safety belt and you might drop it. The moment you take off is very powerful, so you might accidentally drop it (I left mine on the boat). If you attach a strap to a GoPro, it should be fine!

120mのパラセイリングをやりました！
送迎の方はとてもお茶目な人で終始笑わせてくれました！
ただ送迎の方、インストラクター方、受付の方は
日本語が通じません
120mか150mかで迷われてる方は
120mをオススメします！
海の上なのであまり高さの感覚が変わらないのと
プラス$30？で何十枚か撮った写真のSDカードを
買うことができるので150mとほぼ同じ値段で
お得感得られると思います！
ここからちょっとネタバレになりますが
飛び終わった際ロープが自動で巻かれて
船に戻るのですが低い高さから一度海に落とされます…
ボチャンッて感じで。
なので濡れます！！
私はデニムのショーパンを着替え用に持って来ましたが
着替える場所がなかったのでそのままデニムを履きました
また、バスの中を濡らさないでほしいとお尻に自前タオルを敷いてと言われたのでタオルも必ず持っていきましょう！
・濡れた水着の上に着れるもの
・タオル
持ってったほうがいいです
最後にiPhone7(生活防水仕様のため)ご使用の方
iPhone7を持ちながら飛ぶことはできるそう(自己責任)
なのですが念のため防水用の袋にストラップがついてるものなど、
絶対に落とさないよう対策していかないと
海の底に消えます…
安全ベルトに捕まる際も邪魔になり落とします…
飛ぶ瞬間がすごい勢いであがりますので
勢いで落としてしまったり
(私は船に置いておきました)
goproもストラップをつければ問題ないです！

I participated with my third-grade elementary school child and my wife. My child was very satisfied, so as a parent, I was also very happy. During the waiting time for parasailing, I was able to take a nice walk with my first-grade eldest son and my kindergarten-aged second son.

小学生３年生と嫁で参加させて頂きました。子供は大変満足でしたので親としても大満足です。
１年生の長男・年長の次男とは、パラセイリングの待ち時間に仲良く散歩できました。

I couldn't go in Guam, so I was really looking forward to this time. Everyone on the same boat had a great time together. I took motion sickness medicine, but the swaying boat was thrilling and fun. The parasailing was higher than I imagined and a bit scary, but the view was amazing. However, while everyone else's photos turned out beautifully, ours were a bit disappointing.

グアムで乗れなかったので、今回とても楽しみにしていました。同じ船に乗った方たち皆で盛り上がりながら楽しませて頂きました。酔い止めも飲んで行きましたが、揺れ動く船もスリルがあり、楽しかったです。パラセリングは想像以上に高くて怖かったけど、眺めは最高ただ、皆さんの写真は綺麗なのに、私たちの写真はイマイチばかりで残念でした。

This time, I took my 66-year-old mother with me on an adventure. I was worried because of her age, but we had a lot of fun participating. Since it was a tour close to Waikiki, if you join in the morning, you can return to the hotel before lunch, allowing you to spend the afternoon pleasantly as well. It's perfect for those who want to enjoy a little without spending too much time. More than that, it seems my mother really enjoyed it (laughs). Of course, the staff were also very pleasant.

今回、66歳になる母を連れてチャレンジしました。高齢だし心配でしたがとても楽しく参加できました。ワイキキから近くでのツアーなので午前に参加すればお昼前にはホテルに戻れるので午後も友好的に時間を使えるので、あまり時間をかけずにちょっと楽しみたい人には最適です。それ以上に母は楽しかったようです(笑)もちろんスタッフの方も感じの良い方達でしたよ。

It was my first time snorkeling, and the instructions were very thorough, allowing me to get used to it quickly! In the clear sea, I was able to see many fish, making it an incredible experience. During the transfer, the guide shared insights about the town, making for a fulfilling tour. While some people swam without renting a wetsuit, I found it warm and it provided extra buoyancy, so for someone like me who wasn't confident in swimming, it was the right choice to rent one.

初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、丁寧に説明してくださり、すぐに慣れることができました！透き通った海ではたくさんの魚を見ることが出来、感動的な体験となりました。送迎中も街並みを見ながらガイドしていただき、充実したツアーでした。ウェットスーツは借りずに泳がれている方ももちろんいましたが、温かく、浮力も増すため、泳ぎに自信が無かった私は、借りて正解でした。

You are super close to the fishes under the water and you can see a lot of variety of them and I even saw 4 turtles from a close distance.
The staff are very friendly and gives you good guidance on every step of the activity.
The only drawback is the time underwater was only 15 minutes and when you are which flew by very quickly.

Note: You don't need to know how to swim to do this activity.

I traveled to Hawaii with my aunty and this was on top of our to do list and it didnt dissapoint! We had a fantastic time and said when we go back we would definitely do it again! Beautiful ocean and lovely staff, we saw fish and turtles in their natural habitat....it was so serene thankyou to the friendly staff that ensures our safety and made sure we had a fantastic experience. Mohalo and Aloha

The weather was wonderful, and the views were breathtaking. At first, I was a bit nervous as we gradually went up to higher places, but the stunning scenery completely made me forget about that. It was such a fantastic experience, and I would love to use this service again on my next trip to Hawaii.

お天気にも恵まれて最高の景色でした。
最初は高いところに徐々に上がっていく
ので少しドキドキしていたのですがそんなこともかき消すような素敵な景色に感動しました。
とっても素敵な経験ができてまたハワイ旅行の際はこちらでお願いしたいです。

This trip was great, it was a lot of fun. The guides kept us safe and comfortable, it was efficient and very fun! Do expect to get wet.

The weather was great, and I was able to see some beautiful scenery! At first, I was a little scared, but I went up smoothly, and when coming down, I landed slowly, so it was fine. The view from parasailing was truly spectacular, and I had a valuable experience, so I am very satisfied!

天気にも恵まれてとてもいい景色が見れました！
最初は少し怖がっていましたが、すっと上がっていくのと降りる時もゆっくりと着地するので大丈夫でした◎
パラセイリングからの景色は本当に絶景で、貴重な体験ができてとても満足しています(^^)

My daughter and grandson experienced it. At first, they seemed anxious, but once they flew, they were amazed by the beauty of Waikiki Beach from above. They had taken motion sickness medication, but my grandson felt unwell and ended up vomiting, so I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you very much.

娘と孫が体験しました。最初は不安だったようですが、飛んでみると上空から見るワイキキビーチがとても美しかったと感激してました。酔い止めの薬を飲んでいたのですが、孫が気分が悪くなりもどしたようで、ご迷惑をおかけしました。ありがとうございました

We participated in parasailing at the request of my high school son. We traveled for about 10 minutes on a boat that rocked quite a bit to reach the point where we would do it. If you're prone to seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must. We chose to go up to 120 meters. Although I'm not great with heights, the feeling of exhilaration outweighed the fear! The view of Waikiki and the blue ocean from 120 meters was breathtaking!

高校生の息子の希望でパラセーリングに参加しました。ボートに激しく揺られて１０分ほど移動したポイントでやります。船酔いする人は酔い止め必須です。私達は１２０mの高さにしました。高いところは苦手な方ですが、怖いよりも気持ちいい‼︎ の方が勝ります。１２０mの高さから見るワイキキと青い海は感動ものでした！

I can't forget the parasailing experience I had in Okinawa, so I decided to try it again this time.

However, the boat going out to sea was very rocky, and despite taking motion sickness medication, my daughter ended up vomiting... Other passengers also got sick, and by the time we were ready to fly, everyone was feeling groggy.

Flying was somewhat fun, but it felt overshadowed by that experience.

Also, for some reason, the parasailing had a pirate theme (laughs).

We bought some photos and took our own, but when imagining those colorful things...

沖縄で体験したパラセイリングが忘れられず、今回も挑戦。

ただ、この日は沖に出る船がとても揺れ、酔い止めを飲んで行ったにも関わらず娘はおう吐してしまった・・・
他の乗客も酔ってしまって飛ぶまでの間にみんなグロッキー。

飛ぶのはそれなりに楽しかったけど、それよりも・・・という感じになってしまった。

あとは、なぜかパラセイリングが海賊の絵（笑）

写真を購入したり、自分達でも撮ったのだけどあのカラフルなものを想像していると・・・

Sea was bit choppy and felt bit sick by the end of boat ride. But Parasail was great!

I experienced this with my wife and child. The marine blue sea and Diamond Head were very beautiful. There were three groups of tour guests, all of whom were Japanese. We were also able to take photos. It was a lifelong memory.

妻と子供の二人で体験をしました。
マリンブルーの海とダイヤモンドヘッドがとてもキレイでした。
ツアー客は三組で、みんな日本人でした。写真も撮ってもらえました。
一生の思い出です。

This year, we participated in outrigger canoeing for the second time as a family of four, following last year. This time, there were waves, and it was very exciting. For those who haven't tried it yet... I highly recommend it!

昨年に引き続き、2度目のアウトリガーカヌーを家族4人で参加。今回は波もありとても迫力ありました。まだやった事ない方…お薦めですよ～！

It was our first surfing lesson, and with the instructor encouraging the whole family to "paddle! paddle!" we were able to stand on the board. Carrying the board was surprisingly hard, and paddling also took a lot of energy, so we had plenty of fun in an hour and a half. We were also happy to receive cute T-shirts!

はじめてのサーフィンレッスンでしたが、家族全員、先生に「ﾊﾟﾄﾞﾙ！ﾊﾟﾄﾞﾙ！」と言われながら押してもらうことで、ボードに立つことが出来ました♥
ボードの運搬などが、意外とハードで、パドリングも体力を使うので、一時間半で充分楽しめました。
可愛いTシャツも嬉しかったです＼(^-^)／

On a day when the wind was blowing strongly, I felt anxious, but the staff member said, "It's not impossible to go out to sea, but the river is calmer. Which would you like to choose?" I chose the river for safety. It was great to have a relaxing SUP experience while feeling connected to nature on the river. After returning from the river, they told me, "We have a little time left, so if you want to try the sea, you can!" I decided to give it a shot. The waves and wind were indeed strong, and no matter how hard I paddled, I couldn't reach the target island, but I had fun trying.

風が強めに吹く日にあたってしまい不安だったところ、スタッフさんが「海に出れなくはないけど、川のほうが穏やか。どっちに行きたい？」と選択させてくれました。
安全をとり川を選択。自然を感じながらのんびりSUP体験ができて川のSUPも良かったです。
川から戻ってきた後、「少し時間があるから、海にTRYしたければできるよ！」と言ってもらい、思い切ってTRY。やはり波と風が強く、漕いでも漕いでも前に進まず目標の島までは辿り着けませんでしたが、TRYすることができて楽しかったです。

My BF & I were looking for something just like this since it had been many years since we both went snorkeling. Our guides were friendly, prompt, and knew what they were doing. They provided all the equipment and snacks for later. They made it very easy and it was a great trip! Would definitely recommend and use them again! Oh and they allow you to dl the photos they take for free!!

I experienced it for the first time, and it was absolutely amazing! On days when the wind is a bit strong, it might feel shaky and scary, but you get the sensation of flying and can see all of Waikiki!

初めて体験しましたが、かなりかなり最高です！
少し風が強い日だと、揺れて怖いかもしれませんが、空を飛ぶという感覚で、ワイキキを一望できます！

I challenged the 120m attraction with three friends. I really struggle with the feeling of weightlessness on thrill rides, so I was very anxious before getting on, but I didn't feel any weightlessness at all since there was no sudden drop. It was truly fun, and I want to try it again at an even greater height! It's the best memory from my trip to Hawaii. The staff were locals and very friendly, and their Japanese was quite good. For an additional fee, they take photos with a DSLR camera. Since there were four of us, we rode in pairs, but the photo fee was only for one group. Please enjoy it! (*^^*)

友人3人と共に120mに挑戦しました。
絶叫系アトラクションの浮遊感が本当に苦手なので乗る前はすごく不安だったのですが、急に落とされることがないので浮遊感は全く感じませんでした。本当に楽しくて、もう一度もっと高さを上げてやってみたいと思っています！ハワイ旅行でいちばんの思い出です。
スタッフは現地の方でしたがたいへん気さくで日本語もお上手でした。
追加料金で一眼レフでお写真を撮ってくださいます。私達は4人だったので2人ずつで乗ったのですが、写真料は1組分のお値段でした。
ぜひ楽しんでください(*^^*)

We participated as a couple. My wife went parasailing while I took photos from the boat. The staff was dedicated to providing good service and ensuring safety, and my wife was happy with the experience. There wasn't a good moment to retrieve our bag from under the boat, so I couldn't give a tip to the crew member and ended up giving it to a female staff member on land.

夫婦で参加。妻だけパラセーリングして夫はボートから撮影しておりました。スタッフはサービス精神と安全運航に努めてくれていて、いい経験になったと妻も喜んでいます。バッグをボート下から取り出すタイミングがなかなかなくて、船員さんにチップを渡せず、地上の女性スタッフに渡しました。

I experienced it for the first time. At first, I was a bit scared, but once I flew, it felt amazing. The staff were fun people, and the girls from the other group were nice too. My friends and their family were super excited and laughing a lot. However, the meeting place was a bit hard to find.

初めて体験しました。最初はちょっと恐怖だったけど、飛んでみたら最高に気持ち良かったです。スタッフも楽しい人達で、他のグループの女の子達も感じのいい人達で一緒に行った友達家族もハイテンションで大爆笑でした。ただ、集合場所が、ちょっとわかりずらかったです。

This was our second time participating as a family, following our first experience three years ago. It started well with three families, including two foreign families, boarding the boat in the morning and arriving offshore. However, when it was time to open the parachute and start, it seemed to get tangled, and we had to wait for about 10 to 15 minutes while they worked to fix it (untangling and preparing another parachute). The waiting period was the worst; due to the large boat's rocking, more than half of the participants on the boat got seasick. Just as the first group finally took off, my son ended up throwing up. After that, our family managed to fly as the second group, but due to the initial delays, our flight time was much shorter than originally planned, and the altitude was lower, making it a very disappointing experience. Another foreign woman also gave up, and the third family ended up not flying at all and returned.

３年前に続いて家族揃って2回目の参加でした。外国人家族2組と我々、計3家族が当日朝船に乗り込み沖に到着した所までは良かったのですが、いざパラシュートを開いてスタートという所で、パラシュートが絡まったようで、そこから復旧作業(ほどいたり別のパラシュートを準備したり)で、10分～15分ほど待たされました。その待ち状態中が最悪で、大きな船の揺れのため、船にいた参加者の半分以上が船酔いに。最初の一組がようやく飛び出した所で、息子は吐いてしまいました。その後我が家も2組目で何とか飛ぶことはできたのですが、最初のもたつきがあってか飛行時間も当初予定時間(見込時間)と比べて大変短く高さも低く非常に残念なフライトでした。他の外国人の女性もギブアップしてしまい、3組目の家族は結局飛ばずに戻ることになりました。

I was able to go parasailing on a beautiful day, and it created the best memories. The staff was very energetic, and they even raised the altitude higher than planned. There was a little incident where my child ended up submerged in the water up to their head during landing, but that added to the fun. I definitely recommend it!

天気が良い日にパラセーリングができて、最高の思い出ができました。テンションが高いスタッフで、予定よりも高度を上げてくれたり、着水時に子供が頭まで水中にゴボゴボしてしまうハプニングはあったものの、それがまた楽しめた要因でしょう。ぜひ、おすすめです！

They extended the time quite a bit, but unfortunately, I didn't catch a single fish. The boat sways quite a lot, so if you're prone to seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must.

かなり延長してくれましたが残念ながら一匹も釣れませんでした。
船はかなり揺れるので酔いやすい人は酔い止め必須です。
