All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

My wife and I wanted to do something other than snorkelling and this adventure gave us more than what we asked more, plus a lifetime of memories in the form of great photos and a video. Thank you BOB's aventure.

Chieko and Dan were very accommodating. For someone who's first time at the sea, I was able to participate because of them. I had an awesome time. Highly recommend them!

This place was a great choice! So glad we booked this kayaking activity! It was both me and my friends first time kayaking in the ocean and I was a little nervous but as soon as I got there I was greeted by a very friendly staff! Our guide "PO" was so welcoming and friendly! He made us feel very comfortable from the moment we met him. He was very patient, knowledgable, taught us some history about Kailua and most of all he made us feel safe! :) PO was an AMAZING kayaking guide!!! I would totally recommend this activity to anyone who wants to get away from the crowed beaches like in Waikiki. Most beautiful beach in Oahu in my opinion. Forgot to mention the lunch it included was super yummy!

PS. PO our guide also took great pics of us with his GoPro and emailed them to us for free. Great customer service!!! Wish I could give 10 stars

I signed up because it was said to be a clear beach, but due to the approaching hurricane, there were winds and waves, and I couldn't enjoy the snorkeling I was looking forward to. It was disappointing that the weather wasn't favorable, with heavy rain at times. However, I rented a bike and went out shopping and to Lanikai Beach with my child. The bike rental is $10 (credit cards accepted). Since we extended our trip to Lanikai Beach, we didn't have much time to relax on the way back. If you're planning to snorkel, I think Kailua Beach would be a better option to enjoy it more leisurely.

澄み渡ったビーチだということで申し込んだのですがハリケーン接近中のため風・波があり楽しみにしていたシュノーケリングができませんでした。
一時大雨になったりと天候には恵まれず残念でしたが
自転車を借りて子供とふたりラ二カイビーチやショッピングに出かけました。
自転車は＄10でレンタル（カードＯＫ）できます。
ラ二カイビーチまで足を延ばすと帰り時間ぎりぎりでゆっくりできなかったので
シュノーケルするのであればカイルアビーチだけのほうがゆっくりできると思います。

Since it was our family's first time parasailing, we decided on the 90M option based on these reviews. The pickup car arrived right on time, and the driver was so cheerful! Even though we could only have a little conversation, he kept talking to keep the mood lively.

As for the parasailing itself, the crew was a cheerful duo who spoke mostly English. There were only two families, including ours, so there was no seasickness as mentioned in the reviews (though it might have been because we took motion sickness medication...). My middle school daughter was really scared and was unsure until the last moment, but afterward, she said it was great and felt wonderful! There was hardly any fear at all. The views of Diamond Head and Waikiki were truly beautiful and breathtaking. We even got to see sea turtles!

If we have the chance to go again, we would definitely participate.

家族全員初パラセーリングなので、こちらの口コミを参考にしながら90Mにしました。
迎えの車も時間ぴったりに来て下さり、運転手の方の陽気なこと！
会話も少ししかできないのに、盛り上げようとずーっと話をしてくれていました。
本題のパラセーリングですが、乗務員はほぼ英語のやはりこちらも陽気な2人組でした。私たち家族の他は３人家族の計2組でしたので、口コミにあるような船酔いもありませんでした(もしかしたら酔い止めを飲んだのでその効果かもしれませんが…)中学生の娘が本当に怖がっていて、直前までどうしようか迷っていましたが、終わったあとはやって良かった！気持ち良かった！と大絶賛でした。ほぼ恐怖感は無いです。ダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキの全景が本当にきれいで感動ものです。そして海ガメも見ることができました！
また行く機会があれば、ぜひ参加したいです。

The parasailing experience itself was very satisfying. However, there was a large sign on the boat in Japanese that said "Please tip," and we were asked for tips twice during the return trip. It was disappointing because we were told that tips were included in the tour price.

パラセイリング自体は、大変満足でした。
ただ、船に日本語で大きく「チップをお願いします」と書かれており、帰りの船内でも二度に渡りチップをお願いされました。チップはツアー料金に含まれているとされていましたので、残念でした。

I sent my husband and two oldest sons 13 & 16 parasailling for the first time. They said it was one of the best experiences they've ever done and would go again. Just wish I could've gotten a picture or video of it.

What a fun and enjoyable experience. Completely organized, focused on their customers and so knowledgeable. Extremely nice people who take care of every detail. A definite 5 Star experience!

Even though I spent the whole morning for this activity, I just rode the underwater scooter for 15 min only. Furthermore, I couldn't even enjoy with my wife and son at the same time. So embarrassed and annoyed much. I admit the riding itself is exciting activity but their program was not that sophisticated. I was so much disappointed.

Thank you for a very memorable day in a beautiful location. It was so easy as we were picked up at our hotel and dropped home. Very reasonable price and stunning surroundings.

My first parasailing experience. I challenged myself to 90 meters. At first, I was worried about whether I would be okay at such a height, but once I actually did it, I felt no fear at all; instead, it was exhilarating. It truly felt like I was flying like a bird.

Along the way, there was a bonus where I intentionally dropped into the sea (from a low position) once.

Although it was a short time of about five minutes, it was wonderful.

The staff seemed to speak a little bit of Japanese.

初めてのパラセイリング。９０Mにチャレンジしてみました。　初めは高くても大丈夫かなという心配がありましたが、実際やってみると、少しも怖くなく、かえって、爽快でした。本当に鳥になって飛んでいるようでした。

途中、一回、わざと、海の中に落ちる(低い位置から)というおまけ(❓)もついています。

5分ほどの短い時間ではありましたが、素晴らしかったです。

スタッフに人は片言の日本語が話せるようです。

Veltra booking is awful they know your a tourist and not familiar with the islands and where things are and they take your money and book you and don't explain you need a boat or plane to get to them and won't refund you

I participated during the summer vacation. The location was close to the hotel, and it was good that the bus ride was shorter compared to other ocean activities.

We took a boat to the parasailing point, but I got a bit seasick on the boat, so I think motion sickness medication is necessary.

When parasailing, I was nervous at first, but if you're okay with heights, there’s nothing particularly scary, and I had the opportunity to take photos from above.

It felt great to go up quite high.

As long as you can handle seasickness, I think it's a very satisfying tour.

夏休みに参加させてもらいました。
開催場所はホテルからも近く、
ほかの海のアクティビティよりかは
バスに乗る時間が少なかったのでよかったです。

船でパラセーリングをするポイントまで
いくのですが、その船で少し酔ってしまったので、
酔い止めは必要だと思います。

パラセーリングする時、最初は
緊張しましたが、高いとこが大丈夫なら
特に怖いところもなく上から写真を撮ったり
余裕はありました。

かなり高く上がるので気持ちよかったです。

船酔いさえ大丈夫なら
大満足のツアーだと思います。

We set out to the ocean on a boat. From this moment, my spirits really lifted! The weather was great, and the view from above was breathtaking! It's a bit pricey at $30, but they also take photos for you. This is definitely something you should do when you come to Hawaii! Just keep in mind that the tips can be a bit high, haha. I give it four stars.

ボートに乗っていざ沖へでます。この時から気分がかなり上がります‼︎天気も良く、上空からの眺めは圧巻‼︎30ドルとちょっと高いですが、写真も撮ってもらえます。ハワイに来たら是非やるべき‼︎ただ、ちょっとチップが高いので笑 星４つです。

It was my first experience with parasailing, and since I was going to do it, I signed up for 150 meters!! I'm not good with heights, but I had a lot of fun! I also purchased the photo data for $30 ♡ It became a wonderful memory ♡ I want to do it again!!

パラセーリング初体験でしたが
どうせやるなら150m！！という事で150mで申込みました。
高いところは苦手ですがとても楽しめました！
30ドルで写真のデータも購入しました♡
とてもいい記念になりました♡
またやりたいです！！

One of the best parts of the trip and would defiantly do this activity again.

Thanks to the thorough guidance, I was able to fully enjoy my first snorkeling experience. When I come to Hawaii again, I definitely want to snorkel at Hanauma Bay once more.

丁寧に教えていただき、初めてのシュノーケリングを存分に楽しむことができました。
またハワイに来る時は、是非もう一度ハナウマ湾でのシュノーケリングをしたいと思います。

The pick-up arrived right on time. The van driver was very cheerful and made the ride enjoyable. (I heard he runs several stores in Waikiki.)

After arriving at the port, we moved to the boat. They asked if we wanted to purchase photos, so we answered Yes or No. We chose Yes, and I think that was the right decision. It made for great memories.

You can take photos with your phone, but the subjects are small due to the distance. (We were able to hand our phone to a couple we were riding with to take pictures as well.) Choosing the 150m distance was the right call. The view of Waikiki was breathtaking, and the brief journey in the sky with the pleasant breeze was fantastic.

When they set up the parachute, they asked if we wanted to splash into the sea with our bottoms. We got to do it twice, once right at the start and once at the end. Being over the ocean felt wonderful, and I would love to do it again if I get the chance.

As a note, the boat's speed varied, which made some people feel seasick. Also, when we splashed into the sea, due to the direction of the waves, I heard some people mention that their swimsuits almost came off and they had to hold them down.

きちんと時間通りに迎えが来てくれました。バンの運転手はとても陽気で車内を楽しませてくれます。（何店舗かワイキキで店を経営しているそうです。）
港に到着後船に移動します。その際に写真を購入するか聞かれますのでYes or Noで。私たちはYesでした。それが正解だったと思います。いい思い出です。
ケータイでも撮れるのですがいかんせん距離があるので被写体は小さいです。（事前に同乗のカップルに自身のケータイを渡してケータイでの撮影もできました。）
距離は150mを選んで正解でした。ワイキキの街並みが一望できつかのまの空の旅も風が心地よく最高でした。
パラシュートをセットしてもらう時にお尻を海にボシャンとやるか聞かれます。私たちはスタートしてすぐと終わり際の2度ボシャンとやってもらえました。
海の上はとても気持ち良くまた機会があればやりたいと思います。
注意としては船の速度が上がったり減速したりを繰り返しているので酔う人もいました。
それと海にボシャンのときに波の方向のせいもありますが水着の下が脱げそうで抑えるという話も聞きました。

We used this service for parasailing on our honeymoon! Since we were the first group in the morning, we boarded a boat with six people and moved to the parasailing spot. Once we got offshore, there were a few waves, but I had taken motion sickness medication beforehand, so I was fine. However, someone from the same group seemed to get sick while waiting for their turn, and they looked uncomfortable. So, I definitely recommend that anyone prone to motion sickness take medication before going!

As for the parasailing itself, 150 meters is really high! It was higher than I imagined, and the view was amazing! However, we only touched the water once, and it ended quickly, so I wish it had been a bit more intense. Also, I don't know if it was just because I was having too much fun, but the time felt personally short.

新婚旅行でパラセイリングがしたく利用させて頂きました！朝一のグループでしたので６名でボートに乗り、パラセイリングを行えるスポットまで移動しました。沖合にでると少し波があり、乗り物酔いをする私は事前に酔い止めを飲んでいた為平気だったのですが、同じグループの方が自分たちの番まで待っている間に酔ってしまったらしく、辛そうでした。なので乗り物酔いをしやすい人は、必ず酔い止めを飲んで行くことをお勧めします！
パラセイリング自体ですが、150mは高かい！想像以上に高くて景色は最高でした！ただ、1度だけ海に着いだけですぐ終わったので、内容的にはもう少しハードだったら良かったです。あと楽しすぎてかわかりませんが、時間が個人的に短く感じました。

This was my second experience with parasailing, and it was truly wonderful. Soaring like a kite while feeling the pleasant breeze is really enjoyable. The lively staff helped to create a fun atmosphere, and my daughter was thrilled.

I felt that the altitude was lower compared to my previous experience, but maybe that's because there were three of us this time? That was a bit disappointing. If we had more time, it would have been even better.

However, it's great that it's within walking distance from Hilton Hawaiian Village. It saves us from wasting time.

パラセーリンングは2度目の体験でしたがやはり素晴らしい。
心地よい風を浴びながら凧のように舞うのは本当に気持ちいがいいです。
ノリのいいスタッフの方に盛り上げてもらって娘も大はしゃぎでした。

前に体験した時より高度が低く感じたのですが、
今回が3名だったからかな？
その点が少し残念。もっと時間があればもっと良い。

でもヒルトンハワイアンビレッジから徒歩圏内なのは助かります。
無駄時間ないので。

Excellent pair of guides with a small group of us to work with. I had never snorkeled before and had no trouble following the instructions. It didn't matter that I was not an experienced swimmer. Sure makes a difference getting past the lineup to get in because of being part of a group. I recommend aiming for low tide if you have a choice.

I was a bit scared at first, but it was comfortable.
On the boat, I had a great time with cheerful staff and fellow travelers from various countries.
Since the boat stops and starts repeatedly while maneuvering the parachute, I think you should bring motion sickness medication.
I don't usually get seasick, but I thought I should have brought it.

ちょっと怖いかなと思っていたのですが快適でした。
船の上も陽気なスタッフといろいろな国からきた仲間たちで楽しく盛り上がりました♪
パラシュートを操るのに船が止まったり発進したりを繰り返すので、酔い止めがいると思います。
船酔いあまりしないのですが、もってくればよかった～と思ったので。

We took the trolley to the sea and headed out on a boat. We participated at the highest level, 150. The weather was nice, and the beautiful scenery with the blue ocean was amazing! My partner has a fear of heights, but they said they didn't feel much fear and enjoyed it. I also asked for photos, and it became a great memory. They even filmed a movie along with the photos!

トロリーで海まで移動し、ボートで沖に向かいました。1番高い150での参加でした。天気も良くきれいな景色に青い海、最高でした！相方が高所恐怖症ですが、恐怖心はあまりなく楽しめたと言ってました。写真もお願いしましたが良い思い出になりました。写真と一緒にムービーも撮ってくれてました！

I arrived five minutes early and waited for the instructor for about 20 minutes (no specific reason was given). The instructor spoke very little Japanese, just basic words like "right" and "left." However, they explained things in simple terms, so I could understand without fast English.

We practiced stand-up paddleboarding by following the instructor's lead.

There were no suggestions to enjoy the scenery, so I was just paddling away like it was a training session. (laughs)

Since it was my first time, I was quite focused, but next time I want to have enough leisure to enjoy the surroundings (^o^)v

They take photos at the beginning, but it costs about $30 per person, so if two people go, it's $60.

I didn't have the leisure to take photos myself while paddleboarding.

時間より5分前についたのですが、20分ほどその場で先生を待ちました。(理由は特にいわれませんでした。)
先生はほんの少ししか日本語しゃべれなかったです。
右、左ぐらいですかね。
あとは単語をわかりやすく言ってくれるので、早い英語などではなかったのでわかりました。

ただ先生についていくというスタイルでスタンドアップパドルをおこないました。

景色を見ろとか、そういうアドバイスは無かったので、ただひたすら修行のように漕いでいました。笑

今回ははじめてだったので必死でしたが、今度からは回りの景色をみれるぐらい余裕を持ちたいですね(^o^)v

写真は最初あたりにとってくれますが一人辺り30ドルぐらいで、二人でいくと60ドルと言われました。

自分ではサーフアップパドル中に撮る余裕はありません。

I signed up for the early morning plan this time. The instructors were both Japanese and foreign, but they spoke Japanese fluently and had the hospitality typical of Japan, making the snorkeling experience very enjoyable.

They were also kind in guiding those who are not good at swimming.

Hanauma Bay can be accessed if you plan it yourself, but during busy times, joining a plan like this makes it relatively easier to enter, so I highly recommend it.

今回朝一のプランに申し込みました。
日本人の方と、外国の方が先生でしたが、日本語ぺらぺらでしたし、日本のホスピタリティも持ち合わせていらっしゃるのでとても楽しくシュノーケルが出来ました。

泳ぎが苦手な方にも親切に指導していらしてました。

ハナウマ湾は自身でも計画さえすれば入れるところですが、混む時期はこのようなプランに入れば比較的楽に入場できるので大変おすすめです。

I participated with my son. Although he has autism and was a bit nervous, he enjoyed himself without panicking, especially because I was with him. He said he wants to do it again. The captain was kind, and we had a really fun time.

息子と２人で参加しました。子供は、自閉症ですが、多少緊張したものの、私と一緒だったこともあり、パニックも起こさずに楽しみました。「またやりたい」とのこと。船長もやさしく、本当に楽しい時間を過ごしました。

I was told there would be an English guide, but I wondered if they could understand some Japanese. The person in charge of the pickup was truly English-only! They were cheerful and talked the whole time while driving, but I couldn't understand anything as I'm not good at English...

The explanation for parasailing included simple Japanese like "sit down" along with gestures, so there was no problem.

I felt a thrill at the moment of takeoff, but once I was in the air, I didn't notice the height at all. Maybe I could have gone for 150 meters? When I saw Diamond Head from above, I truly felt that it was a great decision to sign up!

All the other participants were foreigners, and we were passing each other's cameras around to take pictures.

The waiting time while others were flying was quite long, and the sunlight was harsh.

英語ガイドとのことですが、少しは日本語通じるのかな？と思ったら
ピックアップ担当の方は本当に英語オンリー！
陽気な方で、運転中ずっと話しているのですが、英語が苦手な私には
全くわかりませんでした…
パラセイリングの説明は「座って」とか簡単な日本語も含めて、身振り手振りで
してくれるので、問題ありませんでした。

飛ぶ瞬間はドキドキしましたが、飛んでしまえば高さなんてわからないし、
150ｍにしても良かったかも？
空からダイヤモンドヘッドを見たら、申し込んで良かった！と心底思いました。

私たち以外の参加者は全て外国の方で、お互いのカメラを渡して撮り合い
してたりしました。

他の人が飛んでる間の待ち時間が結構長いので、日差しが厳しかったです。

What an amazing morning, the staff were very friendly & gave very clear instructions... It so was much fun, couldn't believe the wonderful view & was amazed as to how quiet it was up there, we only went 600ft, but that was more than enough... Saw a hammerhead shark, lucky not near our landing spot..lol... & then flying fish as well.... Will definitely recommend this company for future & if we come back we will be there again... many thanks from Australia...

The rocking of the boat until we got out to sea was pleasant, and I was moved by the exhilaration and the beautiful scenery when we went up parasailing. Parasailing is fun no matter how many times you do it. I always wish we could fly for a longer time!

海に出るまでの船の揺れも気持ちよく、パラセイルで上に上がった時の爽快感と景色のよさには感動でした｡
パラセイリングは何回やっても楽しいです。
もっと長い時間飛べたらな～といつも思います

There were only four groups, so we were able to play very smoothly. They applied aroma for motion sickness prevention, and we had unlimited water and chips. There was a proper guide who helped us with feeding the fish, and it was really beautiful; we even got to see turtles, which was great.

4組しかいなくてすごくスムーズに遊べました。
船酔い対策のアロマを塗ってくれたり、お水とポテチは食べ放題でした。
ちゃんと付き添いの方いて餌巻いてくれたり本当に綺麗でカメまで見れてよかったです
