All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

Dan And Cheiko were great instructors, they kept us busy enjoying the water the whole time. I would recommend them.

What a great snorkeling experience!! Although we had snorkeled before (quite a few years ago), my husband was not able to complete the adventure even though Chieko tried to pull the 2 of us around. So, my husband went back to land and Chieko pulled me around (I just had to relax and enjoy). We saw so many & beautiful fish. I would definitely recommend this tour.

The captain was really lively and very American, which made it fun. On the boat, there was the captain and another person who helped with life jackets, provided explanations, and took photos. That person could understand some Japanese, which was reassuring.

Once we got to the top, they played around by shaking the ropes and splashing us in the water when we landed, which was amusing! But it was a lot of fun.

I bought an SD card with the photos they took for $30. I didn't know there would be such an expense and didn't have any money with me, but when I explained my situation to a Japanese speaker on the boat, they said they would keep the data for three days, so I was able to purchase the data safely.♡

When I got home and looked at the data, I was really happy because all the photos were great!!

Everyone was very kind, which was wonderful!♡

キャプテンがすごくノリがよくすごくアメリカンな方で面白かったです。ボートにはキャプテンともう1人ライフジャケット？をつけてくれたり説明してくれたり写真を撮ってくれる方が載っていました。
その方は多少の日本語が通じるので安心しました安心しました

上まで上がったところでロープを揺らしたり着地の時に水に落とされたり、遊ばれました笑 でも楽しかったです

$30で撮ってくれた写真のSDカードを買いました。
そんな出費があるとは知らずお金を持っていませんでしたがボートに乗っていた日本語がわかる方に説明したら3日間データを置いといてくれるとゆうことで無事データを買うことができました♡

家に帰ってデータを見を見たらすごくいい写真ばかりで良かったです！！

みなさんすごく親切な方で良かったです♡

This was an amazing experience! The boat captain and assistant were great--very capable and a lot of fun. Definitely unforgettable!

You can ride a underwater scooter and dive into the sea to interact with beautiful fish. The staff is present to take photos for you, and the service is excellent.

水中スクーターに乗って海中に潜り、キレイな魚と触れ合えます。スタッフ立会いで写真も撮ってもらえてサービスも充実してます。

This was my second time trying parasailing since my experience in Okinawa, and the parasailing in Hawaii was full of speed and excitement. The staff took fun photos and provided great service, making it a wonderful memory.

パラセーリングは沖縄で挑戦して以来2度目でしたが、ハワイのパラセーリングはスピード感満載でエキサイティングでした。スタッフが面白い写真を撮ってくれたりサービスも充実してて良い思い出になりました。

We participated as a couple on the first flight of the day.
I thought I would get motion sickness, so I took some motion sickness medicine!
There were a total of four couples, including us, and everyone was really nice, taking pictures of each other!
It seems that if you want the staff to take your picture, you need to let them know before you fly.
We chose to go up to 150 meters, and I was amazed by the beautiful blue of the ocean that you can't see in Japan!
When the wind blew, it felt like swinging on a swing, and I thought it was scary! But thanks to the skilled captain's maneuvering, we quickly moved to a spot with less wind, which made me feel safe.
I had heard that lying down helps with motion sickness, so I relaxed with my legs stretched out in the boat's seat.
Since there were only four couples, there was plenty of space, and the staff didn't say anything to me, so if you're worried about seasickness, I recommend trying that.
Along the way, a lovely lady from Okayama even offered me her lap to rest my head on, and thanks to her, I was able to enjoy the experience without feeling sick at all!
I wish I had asked for her contact information... Thank you so much for that!
The captain and the staff all prioritize safety.
Thank you very much!

朝イチの便で夫婦で参加しました。
元々乗り物酔いがひどいと思ってたので、酔い止めを飲みました！
私たち含め全部で4組でしたがみなさんとっても感じのいい方で、お互い写真を撮り合いました！
スタッフの方に写真を撮ってもらいたい場合は、飛ぶ前に言っておかないとダメなようです。
150メートルにしたのでが、日本では見れないような海の青さに感動しました！
風が吹くとブランコを漕いでるみたいにユーラユーラ揺れて怖っっ！と思いましたが、敏腕の船長さんの操縦で、すぐ風が弱いところへと移動させてくれるので安心でした(^_^)
乗り物酔い対策は、寝っ転がると酔わないと聞いていたので、船の座席で足を伸ばし
てリラックスしてました。笑
4組だったので座席に余裕があったからか、スタッフさんにも別に何も言われなかったので、参加予定の方で船酔いが気になる方はそうしてみてください。
途中、岡山県から来られた素敵な奥様に膝枕までしていただき、、お陰で全く酔わずに楽しむことができました！
連絡先を聞いていたら良かった、、と思っております。その節は本当にありがとうございました。
船長もスタッフの方々も、安全第一に努めてくださいます。
ありがとうございました！

I was nervous until we set sail, but as soon as all eight of us came out of the water, we all exclaimed "Amazing!" The staff guided us to the turtles and took videos and photos for us. The pictures and videos were truly beautiful, and for just $135, they can be sent to the representative's computer for sharing! It makes for a great keepsake. You might want to bring motion sickness medication.

出航するまでは緊張でしたが、８人全員海から上がってくるなり「最高」の一言！
スタッフが亀の所まで誘導してくれたり、ビデオや写真を撮ってくれました。その写真やビデオが本当にきれいで何人でも＄１３５払えば代表者のパソコンに送られ拡散ＯＫ！良い記念になります。
酔い止めは必要かも

The Japanese driver who picked us up was chatty and funny. Right after we met, he was full of risqué jokes, probably because we were newlyweds. (laughs) The parasailing was great weather-wise, but it was quite bumpy, and even though I took motion sickness medicine, I ended up feeling nauseous. I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness skip a meal or eat lightly!

I appreciated the crew's thoughtfulness when they offered the scent of orange peels and asked if I wanted to eat.

I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

送迎の日系おじさんがおしゃべりで面白かったです。
会ってすぐ 私たちが新婚だったからか下ネタ全開でした。(笑)
パラセーリングは天気は良かったのですが、結構揺れて酔い止めを飲んでいたのに酔ってしまいました。
酔いやすいかたは食事は抜くか少な目にする事をおすすめします！

乗組員の方が気を使ってオレンジの皮を匂わせてくれたり、食べる？と聞いてくれたり気遣いが嬉しかったです。

また機会があれば参加したいなと思いました。

This was the best experience in our lives. The guides were friendly and very helpful. I would go again with this group in a heart beat. Our pictures turned out great. The view was excellent and really enjoyable.

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～！
