All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

It was a small boat, so it rocked quite a bit and I got seasick. I was half asleep, so unfortunately, I didn't catch anything. I recommend taking motion sickness medication before going.

小さな船なのでかなり揺れが酷く酔ってしまいました。
半分ぐらい寝ていたので残念ながら釣れませんでした。
酔い止めを飲んでいくことをお勧めします。

It was my very first time surfing, but I was glad that the instruction was easy to understand for beginners.

サーフィンをするのは全くの初めてでしたが、初心者にもわかりやすく指導してくれてよかったです。

We went parasailing because our child wanted to try it, but on the day of the activity, the wind was strong and the boat was quite rocky. All family members were able to fly at once, but the strong winds made some feel nauseous, and it seemed like they experienced discomfort from being tense and wanting to come down but not being able to. The tour itself went smoothly, and the driver was attentive, offering advice and showing concern for the child who was feeling unwell, so the staff's response was good. Since the wind strength is unknown until the day of the activity, I think those participating with small children need to consider an appropriate height.

子供がやってみたいという事でのパラセーリングでしたが、当日は風が強い状況で船の揺れは強めでした。
家族全員が1度に飛ぶことは出来たのですが、強風で気分が悪くなり、高さから体が緊張状態で下りたいけど下りられない事に苦痛を感じたようです。
ツアー自体は問題なくドライバーの方は具合の悪くなった子供を心配してアドバイスをくれたりとスタッフの対応は良かったです。
風の強さは当日まで分かりませんので、小さい子供と一緒に参加される方は適切な高さを考える必要があると思います。

As a light activity for the first day in Hawaii, it seems reasonable. However, when I arrived at the designated check-in time, I had to wait for 15 minutes.

ハワイ初日の軽めのアクティビティとしては手頃なのでは。
ただ、指定のチェックイン時刻に行ったら、15分待たされた。

I tried to make a reservation on-site, but it seems to be quite popular, and I was turned down about three times before I finally managed to get on. The wind felt nice, and it was a lot of fun.

現地予約しようと思ったら人気があるみたいで3回ほど予約を断られ何とか乗れました。風が気持ちよく楽しかったです。

We arrived early and had a few problems getting on board because I couldn't find my eVoucher.
But, the staff was very friendly and helped me find my information.
While on board everything was very comfortable and there was plenty of room to walk around.
Food was OK but you can't beat the views of the island from the south shore.

It was more fun than I expected.
Even though I couldn't communicate in Japanese, I managed to get by with the vibe.
I purchased the photo data, and I'm glad they took so many pictures.
You can enjoy it even if you're not good with roller coasters!

思ってた以上に楽しかった。
日本語は通じないがノリでなんとか‥
写真のデーターを購入したが、たくさん撮ってくれてて良かった。
ジェットコースターが苦手でも楽しめますよ～

Everyone here was very helpful and eager to make sure you have everything you need. They also have some of the full face snorkel masks. Ask for one. Otherwise you'll get the same old and its hardest for a novice to remember to breath through the mouth alone.

There were no sudden rises or drops, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind! It was amazing to see Diamond Head right in front of me. I flew higher than the seagulls and enjoyed a walk in the sky.

急上昇や急降下もなく、安心して楽しむことができました！ダイヤモンドヘッドが目の前に見えて最高でした。カモメよりも高く飛んで、空の散歩を楽しむことができました。

The couple who are instructors worked together seamlessly. First, they took photos after we arrived at Hanauma Bay, and then we chose our fins. We rented wetsuits to prevent scratches from the coral and because the seawater was cold, which turned out to be a great decision! Thanks to this, both my child and I were able to enjoy snorkeling comfortably. I absolutely recommend it for sunburn prevention as well.

Before entering the water, they explained how to use the mask and snorkel in a very easy-to-understand way, and after we got in, they taught us how to move, which allowed my 6-year-old son to enjoy himself without any issues. They also took many underwater photos, creating wonderful memories for us!

After swimming, they prepared snacks and water for us, and we were grateful for it as we were craving hydration and salt! I would love to participate again when we visit Hawaii! Thank you very much!

ご夫婦でインストラクターをされているとのことで、息のあったお二人が担当して下さいました。
まずハナウマ湾に到着してから写真を撮ってくださり、その後足ヒレを選びました。
海水が冷たいこと、珊瑚での擦り傷防止にウエットスーツをレンタルしましたが、これは大正解でした！
このお陰で親子共々快適にシュノーケリング出来たと思います。
日焼け防止の為にも絶対にオススメです。
水に入る前に、とても分かりやすくマスクとシュノーケルの使い方を説明していただき、水に入ってからも動き方を教えてくださったお陰で、6歳の息子も問題なく楽しむことができました。
また水中写真も沢山撮ってくださって、とても素敵な想い出になりました♪
泳ぎ終わったあと、スナックとお水を用意してくださっていて、水分&塩分を欲していた私たちはありがたくいただきました！
またハワイに行ったらぜひ参加させていただきたいです(^^)
ありがとうございました！

There was also an 86-year-old grandfather in another group, and he seemed to be having a great time flying. Everyone except us was experiencing the 90m flight, but they returned quite quickly. The 150m flight clearly offers a longer flying time and is more enjoyable, so I recommend it. You might feel a bit confused at first when you get on, but leaning back properly will provide more stability!

別のグループに86歳のおじいさんもいましたが、楽しそうに飛んでらっしゃいました。私達以外は90mの体験をしてましたが、結構あっという間に帰ってきてました。150mは明らかに飛んでる時間も長く、より楽しめますので、お勧めです。乗るときは初めは戸惑うかもしれませんが、後ろにしっかりと体重をかけた方が安定します！

I'm afraid of heights, but my husband really wanted to try it, so I challenged myself at the lowest height. It was higher than I expected and scary, but it was fun and over in no time. At the end, you splash into the sea, so it's best to wear something that can get wet! The transportation staff and the boat crew were also very kind!

高所恐怖症なのですが、夫が是非やりたいと言い、1番低い高さに挑戦しました。
予想より高く、こわかったですが、あっと言う間で楽しかったです。
最後、海にポチャンするので、濡れても大丈夫な格好がいいです！
送迎の方も、船のスタッフも親切でした！

Parasailing was incredible, the set ski was kinda lame for my expectation. Still a fun time and all the workers were all cool.

Every time I go to Hawaii, I participate, and this was my fifth time. As soon as I board, I really feel like I've arrived in Hawaii. This time, the departure was at 11 AM, and the weather was nice, making for a pleasant cruise. The ship was about 70-80% full, and we were the only Japanese guests; there was one group from Korea and the rest were groups from Europe and America. The evening cruises are beautiful when you can see the sunset, but since drinks are all-you-can-drink, it can get a bit too noisy. The daytime cruises are more relaxing. Of course, I will participate again next time.

ハワイに行くたびに参加して、もう５回以上になりますが、乗るとハワイに来たことを実感します。今回は、１１時発でしたが、天気も良く気持ちのいいクルージングでした。７～８割ぐらいの乗船率で、日本人は珍しく我々だけ、あとは韓国人グループが１組で、他は欧米人のグループでした。夕方からのクルーズも夕日が見えるときれいなのですが、飲み放題なので、騒がしすぎるという一面もあります。昼の方がゆったりできます。次も、当然参加します。

Unfortunately, a hurricane was approaching, so we couldn't go out to the ocean, but paddling on the river was calm and we were able to see beautiful gardens of lovely homes. It was a lot of fun. I definitely want to make a comeback at the ocean!

ハリケーンがきていて残念ながら海には出れなかったのですが、
川でのSUPも穏やかで素敵な住宅のお庭なども見る子ことができて
とても楽しかったです。必ず、海でリベンジしたいと思います！

It was my first time parasailing. We took a boat with a few people to the location, and even during that ride, it felt like we were on a jet ski with the thrilling bumps, which had me super excited even before the parasailing began. It was a very enjoyable experience.

人生初のパラセーリングでした。
実施場所にいくまで、数名でボートに乗って移動していくのですが、その間もまるでジェットスキーに乗っているかのような衝撃で、パラセーリングをする前からテンションMAXでした。
非常に楽しいひとときでした。

The day of participation had nice weather with no wind, making for great conditions. The staff girl who was waiting for us on the beach supported me, and when I got on the board and went a little ahead to where the guide was, he said, "Stand up and look!" I stood up hesitantly, but as soon as I started paddling, I lost my balance and fell off (laughs). I managed to get back on the board, but it was tough for me, an aunt who doesn't usually exercise, so I decided to paddle while sitting down from then on! (Sitting is quite stable.)

My son, who participated with me (21 years old), easily stood up and paddled without any trouble, while the guide adjusted his pace to accommodate my slower speed as we headed toward the uninhabited island.

They had prepared water for us, and the guide took care of my smartphone, so I enjoyed the scenery and took breaks while capturing photos. The guide also accompanied my son and taught him how to ride the waves, and he was thrilled to be able to ride the waves pretty well, saying that paddling while surfing was exhilarating and a lot of fun.

After that, we strolled around the island and returned to the beach, but it was unusually windy, and my arms were sore from the effort (laughs).

As for points I was concerned about beforehand:
- We could choose from two restaurants for lunch, but since the pizza place opens at 11 AM, it would be tough for those starting at 11:30.
- There were about four changing rooms separated by curtains, so changing was okay.
- The showers were outside, so they were just for rinsing off sand.
- The lockers were large enough for changing clothes and valuables and had locks.
- The guide prepared water for us on the beach.
- They transported the boards on a cart back and forth to the beach.
- We had about two hours of free time, so we borrowed bikes and could go to Boots Kimora for pancakes to-go in about an hour round trip.

Sunscreen is a must. I was careless because it wasn't scorching hot, but it was tough when I got home. Next time, I want to leisurely enjoy renting a board in front of the hotel.

参加日はお天気で風もなくいいコンディションだったそうです。
ビーチで待っててくれたスタッフの女の子がサポートしてくれてボードに座り少し先で待っててくれるガイドさんの所まで行くと「立って見て～」と言われ、恐る恐る立っては見ましたが、パドルでこぐなりバランス崩して落ちました（笑）
何とかボードに乗りましたが、普段運動してないおばちゃんにはキツかったので、その後は座ってこぐ事にしました！（座ると結構安定してます）
一緒に参加した息子（21）はあっさり立って簡単にこいでましたが、ガイドさんが遅い私に合わせてくれてゆっくり無人島に向かいました。

お水を用意してくれていて、スマホもガイドさんが預かってくれてたので、私は景色を楽しんだり休憩しながら撮影する事にしましたが、ガイドさんが息子に付き合ってくれて波乗りの仕方を教えてくれたりして、そこそこ波に乗れるようになり、パドルでのサーフィンがスピード感があってめっちゃ楽しいと喜んでました。

その後島を散歩してビーチに帰りますが、珍しく向かい風だったらしく腕も筋肉痛でしたｗ

事前に気になっていた点として
○２店舗から選べる昼食付きでしたが、ピザは１１時オープンの為11時半スタート組は厳しい。
○更衣室はカーテンで仕切られた所が４つ位あったので着替えOK
○シャワーは外にあるので砂を流す程度
○ロッカーは鍵付きで着替えや貴重品が入る大きさでした
○ビーチにはガイドさんがお水を用意してくれます
○ビーチまでの往復台車にボードを乗せて運びます
○自由時間が2時間位あったので自転車を借りてブーツキモアのパンケーキをto goなら往復１時間位で可能。

日焼け対策必須です。ジリジリする暑さがなかったので油断してましたが、帰ってから大変でした^^;
今度はホテル前にあったレンタルボードでのんびり楽しみたいと思います。

We all had a fantastic time and will certainly do it the next time we visit!

We did several activities on our honeymoon. Since it was my wife's first experience with parasailing, I accompanied her, but to be honest, it was tough for me because I get seasick. My wife seemed to enjoy the 120 meters of the experience. If you're going to do it, I recommend going for at least 90 meters!

ハネムーンでアクティビティをいくつかやってきました。妻がパラセイリング初体験だったので、同行しましたが自分は船酔いする為、正直キツかったです。
妻は楽しそうに120mを体験してました。
どうせやるなら90m以上がオススメです！

All staff were very friendly from shuttle service to the parasailing crew!!! Can't wait to book for another activity

From 120 meters in the air, I had a stunning view of the beautiful blue sea and sky, as well as the magnificent mountains. The wind at that altitude felt very gentle and refreshing.

120mの空からは青く綺麗な海や空、美しい山々が一望でき最高の眺望でした。上空では風がとても穏やかに感じられ気持ち良かったです。

This was so fun. To top it off at the end we got to see 30+ dolphin.

Everyone was awesome and the experience was great!

I participated with my mother, who is over 50. If you inform them in advance, you won't get splashed at the end, so we didn't get wet at all. It was a great experience! My mother enjoyed it very much!

５０歳過ぎの母と２人で参加しました。
事前に申し出ておけば、最後水の中に落とされずに済むので、まったく濡れることはなかったです。
良い経験になりました！母もとっても楽しんでいました！

I didn't understand the explanation in English. They take photos and sell the SD card for $30, but I should have skipped it because the photos were too bad. The view from parasailing is beautiful!

説明が英語でわからなかった。
写真を撮ってSDカードを30ドルで売ってくれるが、下手すぎて買わなければ良かった。
パラセーリングの景色は綺麗!

The weather was favorable, and I had a great time. I think the guide was very attentive as well. I am considering participating in another tour.

天候にも恵まれ、非常に楽しめました。ガイドも丁寧に対応いただけたと思います。また別のツアーも参加を検討していきたいです。

Great expert instruction for a true beginner. Even saw a sea turtle in early march. So glad I opted to rent a wet suit.

There was a bit of wind, but we were able to enjoy it as a family. The boat had only foreigners, which made me a little nervous, but everything went smoothly. All the foreigners were 120 meters away.

風が少しありましたが、家族で楽しむことができました。船は外人のみでやや緊張しまし他が問題なくいきました。外人はみな120Mでありました。

This was our first experience with snorkeling...but I was convinced that we could not go to Oahu and not see the ocean life for ourselves. Dan and Cheiko were great.

We paid for a group of 5 (3 adult, 2 children). We had to pay the full price to have my grandmother brought along, even though she was not participating. With that said it was suppose to be just our small group to the two guides. This was especially important to me as the two children could swim and the adults in our group could NOT swim well. It turned out two others joined us, so Chieko was mostly their guide and Dan was with the four of us. It was raining that day, so my grandmother was not able to come observe (so paid and not used). Although I was not expecting a refund for her experience necessarily, I was a little put off that we were then charged extra for the optional wet suits to keep us warm (given the weather that day). That really is the only thing I would improve, but given the nature of the business, that may be challenging.

Otherwise, it was FANTASTIC! Dan was amazingly patient and made the experience great. The children, although swimmers, panicked with the snorkel equipment and sea animals. The adult limited swimmers had a blast! Even on a dreary, rainy day. LOL! they took awesome pictures that we were easily able to download from their social media page, so one less thing to worry about doing especially given first time out. I would definitely recommend this experience no matter what skill level, it will not disappoint.

It was a perfect day and a great ride. I wish we would have booked a longer ride and gone as a solo rider instead of tandem. My other half is a bit more reserved than I and when she was driving it felt like a Sunday drive :( However, when I drove it was like a roller coaster ride!
