All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

This was an awesome start to our vacation, we were so impressed with the courtesy shuttle, and when we got there after seeing the boat and arriving previous group we upgraded..well worth it and the photo package was definitly worth it highly reccommend this service

I went to Hawaii for my sister's wedding, and since my parents are at an age where snorkeling is tough for them, I participated alone. However, since the instructor was always with the participants, I had a very fulfilling experience even by myself! There were also families with small children, so I think even little ones can have a lot of fun!

今回姉の結婚式でハワイに行き、両親は年齢的にもシュノーケリングは厳しいということで、1人で参加したのですが、常にインストラクターの方と参加者で回っているので、1人でもとても充実した体験ができました！家族連れの方もいたので、小さいお子さんでもとても楽しめると思います！！

I enjoyed paddleboarding in Kailua's waters, and after lunch, I rented a bike and went to Lanikai Beach as well. I had a great time.

As an experienced paddleboarder, I practiced a bit in a calm, shallow river at first. After that, I paddled from the beach towards a small island visible in front of me. It took a while to arrive because the wind was strong. The water was very clear and emerald green, and I could enjoy beautiful views from the island as well.

SUPでカイルアの海を楽しみ、ランチ後、自転車を借りてラニカイビーチにも行きました。十分に楽しむことができました。
SUP経験者ですが、最初は穏やかで浅い川で少し練習しました。その後、ビーチから、目の前に見える小さい島を目指して漕ぎました。風が強かったので到着まで時間がかかりました。海は透明度が高く、エメラルドグリーンで、島からも美しい景色を楽しむことができます。

I was riding with American tourists, and I was able to enjoy it without feeling very nervous. If you participate alone, you might need some English skills, so please engage in small talk to keep the atmosphere on the boat pleasant. It will be a great memory.

いい思い出になります。

We participated in this tour for our honeymoon. My husband can't swim at all, but we searched for marine sports that he could enjoy and signed up for this tour. In the end, there were no problems at all!! My husband says it became his most enjoyable memory in Hawaii.

I noticed many reviews mentioned they didn't know where breakfast was, so we ate beforehand. As the reviews indicated, there was no breakfast provided. The only things mentioned were snacks and water.

There was one woman who spoke Japanese, and she explained everything throughout the tour, which made us feel at ease. We went to a sandbar by boat before using the underwater scooter, and we enjoyed paddling on a standing boat! There were two boats, and with four groups of participants, we took turns having fun! Everyone was able to get on easily.

We spent quite a bit of time at the sandbar, just when everyone started to feel a bit bored! It was a really beautiful sandbar, about knee-deep.

And finally, the underwater scooter!! I thought we would have to wear a wetsuit over our swimsuits, but we just got on the scooter in our swimsuits and dove in. At the moment of entering the helmet part of the scooter, you have to close your eyes and dive into the sea, but there is one diver assigned to each participant, so it's okay. When entering the sea from the boat, the diver supports your body, which is reassuring.

Also, if your phone is in a waterproof case, you can take lots of pictures from inside the helmet! I was worried about the water pressure, but there were no issues at all! The operation of the scooter was simple and easy. The scooter had food attached, and when I held the net with the food, many fish came to eat from my hand!

We were lucky enough to see a sea turtle, which was amazing. The diver took photos and videos for us. It was about $45 for the photos and videos, and it was a bit cheaper for just the photos. We wrote down two email addresses to receive them later. Payment was possible by card, but there was a small fee.

We didn't bring a card and only had about $30, but when we were sent back to the hotel, we had the driver wait while I went to get the money from our room, and that was no problem. They sent the photos the very next day!

I was very satisfied with the many photos taken of my husband and me riding the scooter surrounded by fish!! For snorkeling, we borrowed the equipment and enjoyed it while the next person took their turn on the underwater scooter. Since there was no diver with the snorkeling, it's better for non-swimmers not to do it.

I'll attach some photos, but the underwater scooter photos were taken from my phone!

新婚旅行で参加させて頂きました。旦那は全く泳げないけど、それでも楽しめるマリンスポーツを探しこのツアーを申し込みました。
結果、全く問題ありませんでした！！旦那はハワイで一番楽しい思い出になったと言っています。
口コミで朝食はどこにあるのかわからなかったという意見が多数あったので事前に食べてから参加しました。口コミ通り、朝食は用意ありませんでした。
説明されたのは、スナック菓子とお水だけです。
女性の日本語が話せる人が1人いて、ツアー中はずっとその人が説明してくれたので安心しました。
水中スクーターの前にボートでサンドバーに行き、立って漕ぐボートを楽しみました！
そのボートは2つあり、参加者は4組いたので交代交代で楽しみました！みんな簡単に乗れてました。
みんなが少し飽きたなーくらい結構な時間をサンドバーで楽しみました！
凄く綺麗なサンドバーで膝上くらいの高さでした。
そしてついに水中スクーター！！
水着の上にウエットスーツを着るのかと思いましたが、水着のままスクーターに乗り潜りました。
スクーターのヘルメット部分に入る瞬間は、目をつむり海に潜らなければならないけれど参加者1人に対し1人のダイバーさんが付くので大丈夫です。船から海に入る時もダイバーさんが体を支えてくれるので安心です。
それと携帯は、水が入らないケースにいれていれば
ヘルメットの中から写真をたくさん撮れました！
水圧とかで変にならないか不安でしたけど全く問題ありませんでした！
スクーターの操作も単純で簡単。
スクーターには餌が付いてて、その餌の網を自分で握ったら自分の手からたくさんの魚が食べに来ました！
運良く海亀もみれたし、最高でした。
ダイバーさんが写真と動画を撮ってくれました。
写真と動画で、たしか45ドル。写真だけだと少し安かったはずです。
メールアドレスを2つ書いて渡し、後日送ってくれるシステムです。カードでも支払い可能でしたが手数料が少しかかったはずです。
私たちは最低限の30ドル程度とカードも持ってきてなかったんですが、帰りホテルに送ってもらうときに運転手に待っていてもらい、部屋に取りに行き渡したら問題なかったです。
写真は次の日すぐ送ってくれました！
旦那と横に並んでスクーターに乗り、魚に囲まれてる写真をたくさん撮って貰えて大満足でした！！
シュノーケルは私たちが水中スクーターを終え、交代で次の人が水中スクーターをしている間に、勝手に道具を借り楽しむスタイルでした。シュノーケルはダイバーさんは付かないので泳げない人はやらない方がいいです。
写真を載せますが水中スクーターの写真は携帯から撮ったものです＼(^o^)／

It was my first activity in Hawaii. You can see the whole view of Waikiki and feel happy to start the trip. Excited activity. Great photography.

It was my first time stand-up paddle surfing. At first, it was difficult to stand, but with the help of a handsome instructor, I was able to get on the board. The view of Diamond Head from the ocean in Waikiki was so beautiful, and I had an unforgettable experience! Next, I think I'll try surfing!

We did this as part of our anniversary week in Oahu and all I can say is if you are "thinking" of doing this, stop thinking and just DO IT! It's an experience you will never forget and the fact that we got to pet and swim along a sea turtle in the ocean is simply awesome!! The crew was amazing, the water was warm and it's something we'll never forget, the crew made this a very memorable experience.

We did this on the morning of our anniversary, what a way to start off the day!! Flying through the air all your worries just melt away, the feeling is one you cant describe but have to feel for yourself. Would do again without hesitation. Thank you to Hawaiian Parasail for giving our 10yr anniversary a start to remember!

The Hans Hedemann Surf School Experience was awesome. I actually surfed on Waikiki waves! What a memory!

We had an awesome experience, especially my wife who was hesitance at first. The crew reassured us that ride would be spectacular and calm. They were right. Great crew! We would totally do it again.

I want to go back to honololo just because this activity

I'd do this again in a heartbeat. Worth every penny. Personal attention so that I got maximum experience as guides helped us see the turtles when they came around and did everything possible to draw the fish to us. You could tell the crew was experienced and competent.

My wife and I had never kayaked before and were a little nervous about an ocean kayak. We had contacted the provider before booking and they assured us that they could accommodate even first-timers, which they certainly did. The guides explained everything we needed to know about handling the kayak and were with our group, which they keep small, at all times from launch, through the ocean paddling, and landing. Our guide, Clay, was extremely knowledgeable about kayaking, the bird sanctuary island, which is the destination, and the islands in general.
Everything that was listed in the description of the excursion was provided.

The Tour is very basic and provides you all the equipment to go snorkelling with. The tour provided friendly service

Our snorkeling adventure was fantastic. There were six of us an no one had ever snorkeled. As a matter of fact, we could not even swim. Our guide Dan was wonderful. He was so patient and instructive. It was so nice to sim with the fish.

This was an awesome experience. We were in Hawaii for a week and this was by far the most fun we had. The jet ski's are fast, the people are nice and they have a course set up for you to ride. You can go as fast as you want and pass people as long as you do it on the outside. The other cool thing they do is attach a GoPro to the front of the jet ski that at first takes random pictures as you are going around the course. Then, about half way into your time they set the Go Pro to video. Once your done you can purchase both the individual pictures as well as the video for $50. We had a blast and would definitely do it again.

The only thing that could have made it better was a more creative course (right turn Clyde). All in all, it was a great time!

My nephew & I took this adventure and enjoyed it very much. My nephew said that he would like to do it again next time he goes to Hawaii.

I participated in activities during a trip with my mother. This time, we signed up for a height of 120 meters, and the view from the sky was amazing! On the day of the activity, it was quite windy, and we swayed a lot in the air, but that was fun too. We took a lot of pictures, and it became a great memory!

I wanted to take pictures from above, so I put my phone in a waterproof pouch and hung it around my neck. I recommend hanging it around your neck if you want to take photos.

母親との旅行でアクティビティに参加しました。今回は120mの高さを申込みましたが、空中からの眺めは最高です！
当日は風が強かったこともあり、空中でかなり横揺れしましたが、それもまた楽しかったです。
写真も沢山撮って頂き、良い思い出になりました！

上からの写真が撮りたかったので、防水パックに携帯を入れて首から下げていきました。
写真を撮りたい方は首から下げるのがおすすめですよ。

We visited Hawaii for our honeymoon and participated in parasailing. We were blessed with great weather, and the view from 150 meters was truly spectacular!! However, I felt a bit nauseous from the irregular swaying caused by the wind while parasailing (laughs). I didn't feel sick at all on the boat, but if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some anti-nausea medication for peace of mind.

新婚旅行でハワイに訪れ、参加しました。お天気にも恵まれ、150mから見る景色はまさに絶景！！ただ、風に左右に不規則に煽られたからか、少しパラセーリング酔いを起こしました（笑）船では全く酔わなかったのに、、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだ方が気持ち的に安心かもしれません。

Water was choppy so it made it difficult to ride. Some tips and spills. Will definitely need some upper body strength.

It was my first time surfing, and it was in English... I was surprised because I didn't realize that when I signed up. Surfing itself was fun and went by in no time! However, it didn't feel very beginner-friendly.

Also, I wasn't sure if there was a return shuttle, and it felt like I was reluctantly given a ride back, which I didn't like.

Thank you very much!☆

初めてのサーフィンで、しかも英語…
申込みの時に気付かなかったのでびっくりしました。
サーフィン自体は楽しくてあっという間！
ただ、初心者向けではない感じでした。

あと帰りの送迎があるのかないのかわからず、いやいや送って貰った感じでいやでした。

ありがとーございました☆

Driver only spoke of food! Then it was not very clear on what was included so we missed the food trucks and NO lunch (after all talk and no food).

Transportation to Hanauma Bay was great...very easy pick up and drop off from hotel. Snorkeling equipment was included, which made it very easy all the way around! Hanauma Bay is just gorgeous with lots to see as you snorkel!

On June 13, we participated as a couple. My wife was feeling very nauseous from fatigue, and I was thinking about giving up, but we finally made it to the meeting point and were picked up. Thank you so much.

My wife made it to the beach but ended up feeling unwell there and waited while lying down (ｰ ｰ;) She said it felt nice just to lie down on the beautiful beach. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling for the first time in the beautiful sea! Thanks to the guidance from Chieko and Dan, I was able to enjoy myself safely out in the open water. Having professional guides really makes a difference in terms of peace of mind!

They also provided life jackets and took care of our valuables, allowing us to enjoy the sea without any worries. I’m really grateful for the photos taken while we were in the water. Next time, my wife will join me for a rematch. Of course, we would like to book this tour again (^ ^).

6/13夫婦で参加しました。
妻が疲れからの吐き気がひどく諦めようかと思っていましたが、やっとのことで集合場所に辿り着きピックアップしてもらいました。本当にありがとうございます。
妻はビーチまで行きましたが、ビーチでダウン。ビーチで寝て待っていました(ｰ ｰ;)
妻曰く、綺麗なビーチで横になっているだけでも気持ち良かった、とのこと。
ご迷惑をおかけしました。
私は綺麗な海の中、初めてのシュノーケルを満喫！！
チエコさん、ダンさんのガイドがあったからこそ、安心して沖まで楽しむことができました。
やはり専門のガイドさんがいらっしゃると安心度合いが違いますね！
ライフジャケット等も準備していただき、貴重品も安心して預けることができ、何の心配もなく海を心ゆくまで楽しめます。
海に入っている写真を撮っていただけたのも本当にありがたいです。
次回は妻も一緒にリベンジ。もちろんこちらのツアーにお願いします(^ ^)

Highly recommended, fun and friendly coaching. Worth trying.

Noah did a fantastic job with our 13 year old. Great instruction and one on one attention. Made us feel like it was safe to have him in the surf and he he learned right away getting up on the board right from the start. Highly recommend it and especially the one on one for the younger kids.

I participated with a friend at a height of 120m. The entire group was made up of foreigners (including families) who had great energy, and combined with the cheerful background music, the atmosphere was fun from departure to the end. Even though the waves may seem calm at first glance, the speed picks up significantly as we head offshore, so motion sickness medication is a must. We enjoyed about 8 minutes in pairs, but there is a wait time until it's your turn for parasailing. During the flight, there are sudden ups and downs that keep it exciting, and you might get dropped into the sea a couple of times. Japanese is only understood for the explanation of photo sales and shooting, but the staff is very attentive. There is storage space under the seats for your belongings, so you can bring them on board. Don't forget sunscreen and hydration! It was so much fun that I definitely want to participate again next time.

友人と高さ120mで参加しました。同グループは全員外国人（家族連れ含む）でノリが良く、陽気なBGMも相まって出港から終始楽しい雰囲気です。一見穏やかに見える波でも、ガンガン速度を上げて沖合に向かうので酔い止めは必須です。2人1組で8分ほど楽しむため、パラセイリングの順番が回ってくるまでは待ち時間があります。飛行中は急なアップダウンで楽しませてくれますし、海に2、3回落とされることもあります。日本語は写真販売・撮影の説明程度しか通じませんが、スタッフはよく気にかけてくれます。荷物は座席の下に収納箇所があるので、持ちこんで乗れます。日焼け止めはもちろん、水分補給はも忘れずに！とっても楽しかったので、次回もぜひ参加したいです。

First of all crew was great! Our driver and diver Taylor went out of his way to be helpful .
The experience was average . Not much time on actual scooter. A lot of time sitting on boat then back at shop waiting to be driven back while the video and pictures we being pushed. Wouldn't do it again but not unhappy that I did it once.

When I went to Hawaii, I had decided to go for big game trolling, so I was looking for a good tour and found this plan.

When I arrived at the meeting place before 6 AM, I was with an American family. By the way, it seems that the boat changes depending on the booking situation at that time. The captain and crew were friendly American guys.

I didn't catch any big fish, but I felt refreshed being out on the ocean off Waikiki all day. If I have another chance, I want to challenge it again. Next time, I hope to catch a big blue marlin. My rating is four stars since I didn't catch anything big.

ハワイに行ったら，大物ねらいのトローリング．．．と決めていたので
いいツアーはないかと探していたら，このプランを見つけました．

早朝６時前に集合場所に行くと，アメリカ人の家族連れと一緒でした．
ちなみに，船はその時の申込状況で変わるみたいです．
気さくなアメリカのおじさん．．．．という表現が相応しいキャプテンとクルーでした．

大物は釣れなかったけど，一日中，ワイキキ沖の海の上にいて気分爽快でした．
またの機会があったら，チャレンジしたい．次こそは大物のブルーマーリン．
評価は，大物が釣れなかったので★四つ．
