I would actually give this 3.5 stars instead of 3 if I could. The service was great and the people helping you with the jetskis were really nice and informative. The only gripe I have is that you can only ride around in a circle with the jet skis, and I expected it to be more open. You have to wait for enough people to board the ferry to take you to the jetski area, which can be annoying. For shuttle riders, you have to wait for enough people to ride that as well. Just a heads up!

I was wondering what it would be like at 130 meters above ground, but the bright blue sky and ocean, the towering Diamond Head in the distance, and the cityscape of Honolulu, along with the round horizon, created a view that was even more amazing than I imagined!! I had a blast on the boat, especially with some playful performances that involved getting splashed with seawater ^_−☆
上空130mなんてどうなることかと思ってたけど、真っ青の空と海、遠くにそびえるダイヤモンドヘッドとホノルルの街並み、そして丸い地平線と想像以上に素晴らしい景色で最高でした!!海水にわざとつけられたり、ちょっといたずらなパフォーマンスで船上でもめっちゃ楽しめました^_−☆

Even as a first-timer, I was able to participate without any anxiety because the staff taught us patiently. I was also impressed by the beauty of the ocean! However, it seems that the weather conditions were unusually good recently, so I felt a bit underwhelmed as we reached the uninhabited island without much difficulty. For those with kayaking experience, it might be more enjoyable to just rent a kayak and move around freely.
Also, the pizza recommended by the guide for lunch was delicious.
初めてでもスタッフが丁寧に教えてくれたので、不安なく参加出来ました。
海のきれいさにも感動!
ただ、ここ最近では珍しいほど天候の条件が良かったらしく、特に苦労せず無人島まで辿り着けたので多少物足りなさを感じました。
カヤック経験者の方は、カヤックのみ借りて自由に動き回った方が面白いかも知れません。
あと、ランチに食べたガイドさんオススメのピザがうまかったです。

This is a shark fishing event. The fishing trip lasts just under three hours. It may not be suitable for those who are serious about fishing. This is because out of 10 participants that night, only 5 caught fish. However, when someone is fighting a fish, you must quickly reel in your line to avoid tangling. In other words, you will be watching others fish. The fight time is about 15 minutes per catch, so if 5 fish were caught, you would be watching for over an hour. For those who absolutely want to catch fish, a charter is recommended.
シャークフィッシングのイベントです。釣行は3時間弱です。真剣に釣りたい方には不向きかもしれません。というのも当夜10名参加で5名釣れました。しかし誰かがファイト中は仕掛けがおまつり(糸がもつれる)しないようにすぐに巻き上げないと行けません。つまり人が釣っているのを見ている訳です。1回だいたい15分程度のファイト時間ですので5匹釣れたので1時間以上は見ている状態です。絶対釣りたい人はチャーターがお勧めです。

It was my first experience with kayaking, so I was worried it might be difficult to reach the uninhabited island, but it was no problem at all! Before getting into the kayak, we had a briefing on how to paddle, and even after we hit the water, our guide provided us with advice.
Due to my lack of exercise lately, my arms got a little tired (^ー^;), but the amazing views from the kayak made me forget all about that!!! On the uninhabited island, you can also snorkel if you wish. Next time, I want to challenge myself to a longer distance.
For the morning tour, we transported the kayaks from the shop to the beach, but since there was a cart, it was easy. Moving it from the cart to the sandy beach was a bit challenging (though it was just a short distance).
カヤック初体験だったので、無人島まで行くのは大変じゃないかな?と心配しましたが、まったく問題ありませんでした!カヤックに乗りこむ前に漕ぎ方のレクチャーがあり、海に出てからもガイドさんがアドバイスしてくれます。
日頃の運動不足のせいで、腕が少し疲れましたが(^ー^;)、カヤックから望む素晴らしい景色でそんなものは吹っ飛んでしまいます!!!
無人島では、希望すればシュノーケルもできます。
次回はもう少し長い距離に挑戦したいなと思います。
午前中のツアーは、カヤックをSHOPからビーチまで運ぶのですが、台車が付いていたので、ラクラクでしたよ。台車から下ろして、砂浜の上を移動させるのが少し大変でした(といっても、ほんの少しの距離です)

I was wondering if such a large canoe could ride the waves, but I was completely wrong! It rides the waves over a longer distance than regular surfing. The exhilaration of riding the waves while looking at Diamond Head in the waters of Hawaii is incredibly refreshing!
Just follow the captain's simple instructions: paddle or rest, that's all. You don't need to speak English to enjoy it!
こんな大きなカヌーが波に乗るのか?なんて思っていましたが、大間違い!
ふつうのサーフィンよりも長い距離波に乗ります。

I had always wanted to try it at least once, and I finally made it happen in Hawaii. Unlike Japan, the power of the waves was different, and surprisingly, I was able to stand up on the board right away. I had to paddle in time with the waves, but after two or three times, my arms became too tired, and each time, the coach pushed me from behind, allowing me to stand up multiple times, which was amazing.
Lastly, when I was being taken back, the hotel was WHITE SANDS HOTEL, but we took a long detour through Ala Wai and passed by Hilton, and I was dropped off on Kuhio Street, which wasted a lot of time. I thought they would drop me off first.
If it weren't for that, I would have given it a perfect score.
一度はやってみたいと思っていましたが、やっとハワイで実現できました。日本と違って波の力が、違うの為?可なんと、一発で立つことができました。波にあわせてこがなけばいけないのですが、2、3回もすると腕が上がらなくなり、その度にコーチが後ろから押してくれ何回も立てることができ最高でした。
最後に、帰りに送ってもらう時にホテルは、WHITE SANDS HOTELでしたが、アラワイを、通りヒルトン等を通り、クヒオ通りで降ろされメチャクチャ遠回りになり、時間が無駄になりました。最初に下ろしてくれるかなと思ったのですが。
これさえなければ、満点をあげるところでした。

This was my first experience with sea kayaking, and it was a lot of fun. At one point, I lost my balance and capsized, but our guide, Jordan, helped me get back on track quickly, and I was able to enjoy myself. The view on the uninhabited island was so beautiful that I wished I had brought my camera (they lend you waterproof bags). I definitely plan to bring it next time. Kailua Beach is really pleasant, and during the free time in the first half of the tour, it might be nice to lay out a rental mat and just relax. By the way, the teriyaki chicken in the lunch plate was also delicious.
今回シーカヤック初挑戦でしたが、大変楽しかったです。途中、バランスを崩して横転してしまいましたが、ガイドのジョーダン君にすぐに立て直してもらい、楽しく過ごせました。無人島では景色が良かったのでカメラを持ってくれば良かったと思いました(防水の荷物入れを貸してくれます)。次回は必ず持っていこうと思います。カイルアのビーチは本当に気持ちよく、ツアー前半の自由時間はレンタルのゴザを敷いてぼーっとするのも気持ち良いかもしれません。余談ですが、お昼のプレートランチのテリヤキチキンも美味しかったです。

We participated as a family of three. The activity itself was very enjoyable, and thanks to the captain's playful spirit, we even got to experience a splash in the sea.
I think those who are fluent in English can enjoy it wholeheartedly without any worries.
However, there were no staff at the counter or on board who could speak Japanese well, and the briefing was really just reading a paper in Japanese with only a few words. Since we had children with us, I felt a bit anxious considering the worst-case scenario.
The website mentioned that we would be picked up by a trolley with the tour company's logo, so I was watching for the trolley, but what arrived was a Mercedes van. Moreover, it was more than five minutes late, and I started to think about arranging a taxi. I think it would have been better if they had explained that it could be either a trolley or a vehicle like this; I was lucky I didn't miss it.
The return vehicle seemed to have been overlooked in the arrangement and took a while to arrive. When I asked the counter when the return vehicle would come, they said it would be here soon, but what came was a taxi. They mentioned that I would have to cover the cost myself, and a foreign couple who were with us talked to the counter and arranged for the same van we took to get back safely. If it had just been us, it might have turned into a rather unpleasant event.
As I mentioned earlier, parasailing itself was very exciting and fun, so if there’s a next time, I think I would look for a tour company that can communicate in Japanese. I believe there are many Japanese participants who could book through a Japanese website, so I would have appreciated a bit more consideration for Japanese speakers, such as having staff who can speak Japanese.
家族3人で参加しました。
アクティビティそのものはとても楽しく、キャプテンの遊び心もあって海ポチャも経験できました。
英語が堪能な方なら不安なく心から楽しめると思います。
カウンターにも乗船スタッフにも日本語が充分に話せる人がおらず、本当に単語のみの日本語と、日本語で書かれた用紙を読むだけのブリーフィングでした。
子ども連れでしたので万が一のことを考えると少々不安でした。
サイトでの説明には催行会社名ロゴの入ったトロリーで送迎と書いてあったのでトロリーを目で追っていましたが、来たのはベンツのバン。
しかも5分以上遅れ、タクシー手配しようかと考え始めた頃でした。
トロリーもしくはこういう車と説明があったらよかったと思います、見落とさなかったから良かったけど。
帰りの車も手配が漏れていたのかなかなか来ず、カウンターに帰りの車はいつ来るのか聞くとすぐ来るというので待っていると来たのはタクシー。
費用は自分持みたいなことも言われ、同行した外国人カップルも同じ所まで乗るためカウンターと話をつけてくれて、行きと同じバンを呼んでもらえ無事に帰れましたが自分たちだけだったら、後味の悪いイベントになってたかもしれません。
先にも書きましたがパラセイリング自体はとてもエキサイティングで楽しかったので、もし次があるとすれば日本語の通じる催行会社を探すと思います。
日本語サイトで申し込めて、日本人の参加者も多いと思いますので、日本語OKなスタッフを配置するなどもう少し日本人への気遣いも欲しかったです。
