Oahu
The wind was strong and it shook quite a bit. I was terrified at the thought of this rope breaking. However, the view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head in the distance from above was amazing.
風が強くて結構揺れた。
このロープが切れたらと思ったら恐怖でした。
でも、上空から見えるワイキキビーチ遠くに見えるダイヤモンドヘッドの景色は最高でした。
I went with high expectations, but unfortunately, it rained.
Our guide was Yano.
We participated with five Japanese people who didn't understand English, but Yano's talk kept us smiling the whole time.
After some back-and-forth communication, we arrived at the port.
We checked in and boarded the boat. We got pretty wet at departure due to the rain, but once we headed out to sea, it was clear skies!
The speed was quite thrilling!
Now, onto the main event, the parasailing—it was simply amazing! I was a bit anxious at first, but once I was up in the air, it was silent, the wind was pleasant, and the view was breathtaking. I felt like I understood a bit of what it’s like to be a bird.
There was a little surprise at the end, and I was impressed by that technique as well.
It was so much fun that it ended in no time!
The boat was more frightening than being up in the sky because it was rocking!
The staff were kind, and I had a wonderful time!
I will definitely come back again!
かなり期待して行きました。残念ながら雨。
送迎の方はYANOさん
英語がわからない日本人5人で参加しましたが、YANOさんのトークで終始笑顔。
かたことですが色々とやりとりしていたら港に到着。
受付してボートへ。出発時は雨で結構濡れましたが、沖へ出ると快晴!
結構スピード出すのでスリル満点です!
で、本題のパラセイルですが、とにかく素晴らしい‼︎最初は不安でしたが、空に上がれば無音で風も心地良く絶景。鳥の気持ちが少しわかった気がします。
最後に少しサプライズがありましたが、そのテクニックにも感激。
楽しすぎたからかあっという間に終わってしまいました。
ボートが揺れるので空の上より怖いです!
スタッフの方々も優しく素晴らしい時間を過ごせました!
リピ間違いなしです‼︎‼︎
I wanted to head out to the North Shore, but did not want to sit on a stodgy bus all day and listen to someone drone on and on. The Surf Bus was the PERFECT choice since I not only got to experience the highlights of the area, but got to do some fun activities as well.
I decided to do Snorkeling, the Waimea Falls nature walk and SUP. Harry was very accommodating about squeezing in two activities for the morning section, and I am so happy that he did. The snorkeling was AMAZING! It was literally like swimming in an aquarium. I got to be in the water for a little over an hour and then I was picked up to go to Waimea Falls Park. The walk was quite easy, and if you have a hard time walking, shuttles are available for $10 round-trip at the park. I didn't go into the water since I just wanted to sit and relax, but the walk to and from the waterfall was about 45 minutes total. REALLY beautiful.
For my afternoon, I chose SUP and even though I had never done it before, I figured it out pretty quickly after the briefing from the guys at the surf store. I never quite made it to the "stand up" part of "stand up paddling", but my "sit up" paddle was just as fun and I made it all the way down the river.
With about an hour left before I had to meet the bus, I had a delicious burger and fries at Teddy's Bigger Burger and washed that all down with some shave ice from Matsumotos (lychee and strawberry YUM!). All in all, a great experience and wonderful way to see the best of the North Shore in a day :)
We booked for 10 people, but there were no other passengers, so it was a private charter. We enjoyed the leisurely flow of time, the bright blue sky, and the emerald sea while sipping cocktails. Additionally, we were thrilled to see a whale spouting about 200 meters away! The cruiser staff were very friendly, but one small disappointment was that the meeting place was different. It was supposed to be at the pier, but when we arrived on time, we found the reception area at the edge of the hotel building.
10名で申し込みましたが、他に乗船する方が無く、貸切でした。ゆったりと流れる時間と真っ青な空、エメラルドので海、カクテルを飲みながら満喫しました。さらに偶然200メートル位先に、クジラの潮吹きが見れ、とても感動しました!
クルーザーのスタッフはとても親切でよかったのですが、少しだけ残念だったのは集合場所が違っていたことです。桟橋との事で時間までに行ったらホテル建物の端に受付スペースが有ってそちらでした。
I arrived in Hawaii and the next day experienced flying a plane. The following day, we chartered a car to explore from land, and while joking with my family about sightseeing from the sky and land, we made a reservation for the sea at midnight, and when I woke up in the morning, I found out the reservation was successful. We arrived at the meeting point during the day and boarded the boat. I had prepared for getting completely soaked from the splashes of the waves, but there were no waves at all, just a calm sea, and we saw the tail of a whale a couple of times. The view of Waikiki from the sea is special and worth experiencing. If I had to complain, it would be that the operator took time to line up each group for photos before boarding the boat for their business purposes. The goal was to sell the developed photos when disembarking after the cruise, but I thought they should limit that to only those who wanted it. I didn't like their selfishness and had no intention of buying the photos when getting off.
ハワイに到着し、次の日に飛行機操縦体験をし、その次の日は車をチャーターし陸から、そして家族と冗談で空と陸から観光的たので次は海かという話をしながら夜中予約を入れたが朝起きてみたら予約成功。昼間集合場所に着いて船に乗る。波のしぶきで全身濡れるという体験談を見たのでその覚悟で服を用意し乗り込んだが波が全くなく穏やかな海、鯨の尻尾も二回くらい見えた。海から見るワイキキの景色は特別で体験する価値あり。不満を言えば催行者側が商売のために船に乗る前グループ毎に並ばせて写真撮るのに時間かかったこと。クルーズが終わって降りる際に現像した写真を売るのが目的だがそんなもの希望する人だけに絞ればいいのにと思った。その彼らの自分勝手が気にいらず降りる時その写真を買う気なんかしなかった。
I visited Hanauma Bay once in the summer with my sister, but this time my mother joined us for winter at Hanauma Bay! Unlike in summer, the waves were calm!
That morning, the weather was bad, but just as the guide said, it gradually cleared up, making for the best snorkeling experience! They had brought wet suits (for a fee), and based on the guide's recommendation, we decided to rent them! It was really cold, so renting was definitely the right choice! I'm glad we did!
Unfortunately, we didn't see any sea turtles, but since we were the only ones on the morning tour, they took us quite far out! I was exhausted, but it was very beautiful and fun! Having a guide was reassuring, and I highly recommend it! I want to participate again!
ハナウマ湾は一度、夏に姉と訪れたことがありましたが、今回は母も一緒に冬のハナウマ湾へ!!
夏とは違い、波が穏やかでした!
この日は、朝、天気が悪かったのですが、ガイドさんの言っていた通り徐々に晴れてきて、最高のシュノーケリングとなりました!
ウェットスーツ(有料)を持ってきてくれていて、ガイドさんのおすすめで、借りることにしました!ほんと寒かったので、借りるべきです!借りられて良かったです!
あいにくウミガメには会えませんでしたが、この日の午前ツアーが私たちだけ、ということもあってか、かなり沖の方まで連れて行ってくれました!
くたくたになってしまいましたが、とても綺麗で楽しかったです!
ガイドさん付きは安心だしおすすめです! また参加したいです!
Thank you, Miyu, for joining our tour this time.
In winter, the waves at Hanauma Bay are calm, and there are times when we can guide you further out. But it's not always possible to go out, so you were lucky!
Also, since the water temperature is low in winter, I think it was a good decision to rent a wetsuit. It provides warmth, prevents minor cuts and scrapes, and protects you from jellyfish stings if they are present. Additionally, wearing a wetsuit gives you buoyancy, making it safer and preventing sunburn.
I look forward to seeing everyone again when you come back to Hawaii. Next time, I hope to guide you to see the cute turtles of Hanauma Bay!
Thank you. Mahalo!!
Miyuさん、この度は私達ののツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。
冬のハナウマ湾は波が穏やかになり、沖の方までご案内できる時があります。でも毎回沖まで行ける訳ではないので、ラッキーでしたね!!
また冬の水温は低いですから、ウェットスーツは借りていただいて正解だったと思いますよ。保温はもちろん、マイナーな切り傷、擦り傷も防げますし、もしもクラゲがいる時にもさされません。また、ウェットスーツを着ていただくと浮力がつきますので安全ですし、日焼けもしません。
またハワイにお越しの際には皆様にお会いできますことを楽しみにしています。次回は可愛いハナウマベイの亀さんをご案内できればと思っています!!
ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
I experienced parasailing for the first time, and I was very moved to see the scenery of Honolulu from the ocean side while flying!! I want to do it again when I go back.
パラセーリング初めて体験しましたが、ホノルルの景色を海側から飛びながら見れてとても感動しました!!また行ったらやりたいです。
It was absolutely amazing.
The breeze from the boat felt great!
It was my first time parasailing, but I really enjoyed it.
It should definitely be an extreme experience.
とにかく最高でした。
船の風が気持ちよかった!
初めてのパラセーリングだったけど楽しめました。
エキストリームにすべきです。
Great time! Nice, comfortable ride out with great weather. Crew was very accommodating to our little group. We had someone with special needs, and they worked very hard to make her feel safe, comfortable and happy. !000 foot ride, just perfect! Wonderful memories forever!
The staff was polite, and the view was amazing. I got seasick, but I appreciate the good service I received. I would like to use this service again.
スタッフも丁寧だし、眺めも最高でした。
舟酔いしたけど、良い対応してもらい感謝です。
また利用したいと思いました。
I participated in this tour for my honeymoon! I was a bit anxious because the trolley driver, the tour guide, and all the other participants were from overseas and spoke no Japanese at all. However, once it started, I found that there were Japanese explanations provided, so it all worked out!
It was my first time parasailing, and I was really nervous, but once I took off, the beauty of the sky and the sea was just amazing. I didn't feel scared at all and was able to enjoy it! I did fall into the sea a few times, but that was also incredibly fun.
The time spent on the boat while others were parasailing was also a blast, and we even had the miraculous appearance of a whale, which really boosted our excitement! They offered photo services for an additional fee, but I received a message saying they might have given our photo disk to someone else when we returned to the hotel. After checking, I was relieved to find out it was indeed our disk.
Although there were a few moments of anxiety, in the end, I had an absolutely fantastic time!
新婚旅行でこちらのツアーに参加しました!!
送迎のトロリーの運転手さん、ツアーのガイドさん、ツアーの参加者の方たち全ての方が海外の方で一切日本語が通じず、少し不安でしたが、実際始まってみると日本語の説明書なども用意されておりなんとかなりました!!
初めてのパラセイリングでとにかくドキドキでしたが、絶叫系が苦手な私でも飛び上がってみれば空や海の綺麗さがとにかく最高で、全然怖さも感じず楽しむことが出来ました!!
途中何度か海に落とされたりもしましたが、それもまた最高に楽しかったです。
他の方がパラセイリングを行っている際にボートに乗っている時間も最高に楽しく、奇跡的にクジラちゃんまで登場で最高にテンションが上がりました!!
別料金で写真の撮影などもしてくれたのですが、ホテルに戻ってから他の方の写真ディスクを渡したかもしれないとの連絡・・・確認すると自分たちのディスクだったので一安心でした。。
少し不安になることもありましたが、結果最高に楽しめました!!
We arrived at the facility located about a 3-minute walk from Kailua Beach. After receiving an explanation, we had free time until 2:30 PM. There were lockers available, and they also offered beach gear and bicycle rentals.
We first walked to the town. While some people used bicycles, it only takes about 15 minutes to reach downtown on foot.
We indulged in pancakes and French toast at Boots & Kimo's, which we had been looking forward to. It was as delicious as the rumors suggested! After exploring Whole Foods Market and Macy's, we relaxed on the beach around 1:00 PM. Although the sky was unfortunately cloudy, the beach was beautiful.
Using our lunch vouchers, we had pizza and barbecue chicken bento. Both were hearty and delicious.
Some may feel that four hours of free time is not enough, but we were satisfied as we were able to achieve our goals at a leisurely pace. The staff were friendly and easy to talk to. If the opportunity arises, I would definitely like to use their services again.
カイルアビーチに徒歩3分ほどのところにある施設に到着。説明を受けた後は14:30まで自由時間。そこにはロッカーがあり、ビーチグッズ、自転車の貸し出しもしていました。
私達はまずは徒歩で街へ。自転車を利用されている方々もいましたが、歩いても15分ほどで街中に到着出来ます。
念願だったブーツ&キモズでパンケーキとフレンチトーストを堪能。噂通りの美味‼︎ホールフーズマーケット、メイシーズなどを散策した後、13:00頃からビーチでのんびり。あいにくの曇り空でしたが、ビーチはきれいでした。
昼食券を利用して、ピザとバーベキューチキン弁当を食べました。どちらもボリューム満点でおいしかったです。
4時間ほどの自由時間で足りないと思う方もいるかと思いますが、私達はゆっくり目的を達成出来て満足しています。
スタッフの方々も気さくで話しやすかったです。また機会があれば是非利用させていただきたいと思います。
It was our first parasailing experience. There is nothing scary at all. You would spend one of the best 10min of your life.
I have been to Hawaii many times, but this time I joined for the first time with a large group of eight, including my spouse, daughter, and grandchildren, thinking it would be easy and fun nearby. The scenery was more beautiful than I expected, and the leisurely time was luxurious... I truly felt this is the way to enjoy Hawaii. With this tour, it's great to join alone, and I want to participate every time I come to Hawaii.
ハワイへは何度もきていますが、今回は夫婦娘孫8名の大所帯でしたので、近場で気軽に楽しめると思い初めての参加申込でした。 期待以上の素晴らしい景色と、贅沢なほどのゆったりした時間… これぞ『ハワイの楽しみ方』と実感しました。 このツアーであれば、一人での参加もいいし、ハワイにきたら毎回参加したいツアーです。
Whilst the weather is always a variable on these sort of trips it would seem that what we experienced was an average day. It was windy with a fair chop in some areas. Landing on the island for lunch was challenging and a number of boats capsized going through the confused surf (caused by waves come around both sides of the island). The staff were excellent, and there were no safety issues, but people with no or limited kayaking experience may find the trip daunting. The kayaks are very stable and the distance paddled was enough to give you some muscular reminders the following day if you haven't paddled for a while, but it is not excessive. There were no opportunities for snorkelling.
The trip is well worth doing but don't expect it to look like the photos on the brochure.
Thank you for your feedback, Simon! We are glad that you enjoyed our knowledgeable staff and the tour despite the more difficult conditions.
Guides went far beyond average to show us a special time. Excellent instruction
Thanks guys, sorry for the late reply. Come again. Dan and Chieko.
I'm not a fan of thrill rides, but I decided to join the 150m attraction at my husband's request for our honeymoon memories. The view was amazing, and I had a lot of fun!
The pickup vehicle was supposed to be a colorful car as stated on the reservation, but in reality, it was just a plain blue car, making it hard to identify unless you actively look for it.
If you let them know you're Japanese, you can get the consent form in Japanese. Also, one of the passengers got seasick and vomited, so taking motion sickness medication is a must.
絶叫系アトラクションは苦手ですが、新婚旅行の思い出にと旦那さんのリクエストで思い切って150mに参加。景色も最高で非常に楽しかったです!
ピックアップの車は、カラフルなロゴの入った車と予約票には明記されていますが、実際はただの青い車で自分からアピールしないとわかりにくいです。
車内で記入する同意書は、日本人だと伝えると日本語版が貰えます。
また、同乗した方は船酔いして吐いていましたので、酔い止め必須です。
This is my second time participating. Three years ago, when I joined, we had to carry the surfboards from the shop to the beach ourselves, which was quite heavy and challenging. However, it has improved, and now we only need to transport them from the car parked by the beach to the water's edge! This is much easier.
I signed up for a group lesson, but since there were only two of us that day, it turned into a semi-private lesson, which was lucky. The timing was perfect, and I was able to stand up properly from the first try! The instructor spoke mostly English, but once we were out in the water, we only needed to use commands like "paddle" and "stand," so it wasn't a problem if you didn't speak English. Occasionally, they checked on us in a mix of Japanese, asking things like "Are you tired?" (laughs).
The group doing stand-up paddleboarding at the same time also let us surf towards the end. All the staff were friendly, and I had a great time participating again.
2度目の参加です。3年前に参加した時はサーフボードをショップからビーチまで自分たちで運ばなければならず結構重くて大変だったのですが、改善されてビーチサイドに止めた車から波打ち際まで運ぶだけで良くなっていました!これは楽チン。
グループレッスンを申し込みましたがこの日は二人だけだったので、セミプライベートになりラッキー。タイミング良く波に乗せてくれるので、1回目からちゃんと立つことができました!
担当してくれた方はほとんど英語ですが、沖に出てしまえば「漕いで」「立って」くらいしか使わないので英語が出来なくても問題ないです。時々日本語まじりで「ツカレタ?」などと気遣ってくれました(笑)
同じ時間にスタンドアップパドルをしていたグループも最後の方にはパドルを置いてサーフィンをさせてくれていましたよ。スタッフは皆フレンドリーで今回も楽しく参加できました。
I initially planned to take The Bus to Kailua Beach, but since I needed to transfer along the way and there were limited buses, I ended up signing up for a tour. We had been to the town before, so this time we chose this plan to relax at the beach.
The shuttle bus arrived at the hotel on time, and since it was Sunday, the roads were clear, so we quickly arrived in Kailua. There were three staff members who spoke fluent Japanese, which made us feel very comfortable. Additionally, the lockers and changing rooms were conveniently located inside the office (in the area where the famous shave ice place, Island Snow, is located). By the way, there were also changing rooms and restrooms at the beach, but they weren't very clean as the locks were broken and the water didn't flow properly.
We borrowed snorkeling sets, mats, boogie boards, and life jackets from the office and set off. It was about a five-minute walk to the beach. Honestly, I thought I wouldn't be able to spend four hours just at the beach, but I lost track of time and was able to relax because of the stunning beauty of the ocean. For lunch, we could choose from pizza, barbecue (closed on Sundays), or sandwiches (from the town?), and we went with pizza. Each slice was very large and delicious, and we were more than satisfied. It seems that if you bring a cup, you can refill soft drinks for free.
After leaving the beach, I took a shower and changed. The shower was outside and very basic, using a pull-string to turn on the water (for saving purposes, they said). Also, the changing room was just a space divided by curtains, and since we had to place our bags on the floor, it would have been nice to have some simple shelves.
On the way back, I fell into a deep sleep and returned to the hotel very comfortably. I think this is a convenient and good plan for those visiting the beach for the first time.
カイルアビーチには最初ザ・バスで移動するつもりでしたが、途中で乗り換える必要があったり、本数が少なかったりするようなので、結局ツアーに申し込むことにしました。私たちはタウンの方には以前行ったことがあるので、今回はビーチでのんびりしたくてこちらのプランを選択しました。
当日の送迎バスはホテルに時間通りに来てくれて、さらに日曜日ということもあり道路もすいていたため、あっという間にカイルアに到着しました。現地では日本語ぺらぺらのスタッフが3名で対応してくださり、とても安心できました。またロッカーや更衣室も事務所内(シェイブアイスが有名なアイランドスノーがある一角)にあり便利でした。ちなみにビーチにも更衣室やお手洗いがありましたが、鍵がこわれていたり、水が流れなかったりしてあまりきれいではなかったです。
事務所でシュノーケルセット・ゴザ・ブギーボード・ライフジャケットなどを借りて出発です。ビーチまでは歩いて5分ほどでした。行く前は正直ビーチだけで4時間も過ごせるかと思っていましたが、海のあまりの美しさに時間を忘れてゆっくりできました。お昼はピザ、バーベキュー(日曜は休み)、サンドイッチ(タウンの方?)から選べて、私たちはピザにしました。1ピースがとても大きくておいしいし、十分満足できました。ソフトドリンクはカップを持っていけばおかわり自由だそうです。
ビーチから引き上げたあと、シャワーを浴びて着替えました。シャワーは外にあって、紐をひっぱって水を出す形式でとても簡易的なものでした。(節約のためとのことです)また、更衣室はカーテンで区切られただけの空間で、床にバッグを置かなければならないので、簡単な棚などがあるとよかったかなと思います。
帰りの車内では熟睡して、とても楽にホテルに戻ってこれました。初めてビーチに行く方には手軽でよいプランではないでしょうか。
In the morning, they came to pick us up at our accommodation, arriving right on time. It takes about 40 minutes by car from Waikiki, but perhaps due to travel fatigue, I was able to sleep comfortably. If I had been awake, I think I would have enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way.
I had been to Lanikai before, so this time we chose Kailua, and the beach was long with gentle waves, and the sand was white, making for a very beautiful view. It's a place where you can forget about time more than in Waikiki.
The staff provided guidance in Japanese, making the explanations easy to understand, so I felt comfortable moving around. There were plenty of activities to enjoy at the beach, including snorkeling and bodyboarding. I felt like we didn't have enough time to do everything.
In addition to the beach, they also offer bicycle rentals, allowing you to explore the neighborhood. I think it's a tour where you can experience scenery and atmosphere that you can't usually enjoy in town.
For lunch, we had a choice between meat or pizza, and I chose the pizza recommended by our guide. The crust was incredibly delicious, and I want to eat it again. Whenever I go to Hawaii, I often end up just shopping and don't get to relax much, but this time, thanks to this tour, I was able to spend a leisurely time.
This time, I participated in the tour with a friend, but I hope to join with my family next time. One thing I slightly regret is not bringing extra money, thinking I wouldn't shop. There were so many cute swimsuits and dresses that you can't find in Waikiki, so I realized I should at least bring a card.
What I learned is that Hawaii is a place where you want to shop no matter where you go.
Thank you very much. I would like to participate again.
朝、宿泊先に来てくれました
時間厳守で到着。
ワイキキからはだいたい車で40分ぐらいかかるのですが、旅の疲れも少し出てたのか気持ちよく寝れました。起きてれば向かう途中の素敵な景色を眺めることが出来てお得だと思います。
昔、ラニカイには行ったことあったので今回カイルアにしましたが、ビーチが長くて波も穏やかだし砂浜も白くてとても景色が綺麗でした。
ワイキキよりも、時間を忘れて過ごせる場所です。
スタッフの方も日本語で案内してくれるので、説明もわかりやすく安心して動くことが出来ました。
ビーチで遊べる内容も、シュノーケル、ボディボードなどなど盛りだくさん。時間が足らなかったぐらいです。
ビーチ以外にも、自転車をレンタルさせてくれるので近所を散策出来たり。普段タウンでは体験出来ない景色や雰囲気を味わう事ができるツアーだと思います。
ランチも選べて、お肉かピザの選択でしたが ガイドさんがオススメしてくれたピザをチョイス。
生地がめちゃくちゃ美味しくて また食べたいです。
毎回ハワイにいくと、買い物ばかりになってしまってゆっくり出来ない事が多いのですが、今回のハワイはこのツアーを利用することによってゆったりとした時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
今回は、友達と2人でのツアー参加でしたが、次回は家族で参加出来ればいいなーと思います。
それと、少し後悔したのは 買い物しないつもりで余計なお金を持っていかなかったこと…
ワイキキにはない可愛い水着やワンピースなど沢山あったのでカードだけでも持っていかないとダメだと思いました。
結果わかったことは、ハワイはどこにいっても買い物したくなる場所って事です。
ありがとうございました。また参加したいです。
This is by far one of the best thing s I did in Hawaii, and the tour was well planned, on time. Our driver was amazing!! Such a brilliant day!
On the last day of our first trip to Hawaii, my wife, who has a fear of heights, wanted to try this, so we ordered it. The staff were very good and we had a great time. I definitely want to challenge myself to 150 meters next time. The driver who picked us up was funny.
はじめてのハワイ旅行最終日前日に高所恐怖症の嫁がやりたいとの事で注文しました
とても良いスタッフの人達で楽しかったです
ぜひまた今度は150mにチャレンジしてみたいです
送迎の運転手のおじさんが面白かったです
I used to scoff at parasailing, but I listened to my wife's wish to try it and took on the challenge for the first time! It was easier than I thought, and once I was up there, I could enjoy a surprisingly peaceful moment with a view of Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, and the blue ocean all to myself. It was amazing! I definitely want to do it again! But if it were a bit cheaper, I would do it twice a day!
パラセーリングなんて?!ってバカにしていたけどどうしてもやりたいと言う妻の希望をきいて初チャレンジ!思ったより簡単で、いざ上に上がってみればそこからはダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキビーチと青い海を独り占め出来る驚くほど静かひととき。最高!是非またやりたい!けどもうちょい安ければ1日2回でもやるんだけどなあ。
We watched a Japanese video at the shop beforehand and then headed to the beach. It was quite tiring, but since it was a longboard, I managed to stand up and ride the waves properly. Everyone was able to ride the waves. Paddling is extremely exhausting. They lend you rash guards and boots. They also burn the images taken at the shop onto a CD and sell them. If you like them and want to buy, it's a good idea to bring some money.
事前にお店で日本語のビデオを見て、ビーチへ。
結構疲れますが、ロングボードなので何とか立てて、ちゃんと波にも乗れました。
全員がちゃんと波に乗ってました。
パドリングが滅茶滅茶疲れます。
ラッシュガードとブーツは貸してくれます。
お店で写した画像をCDに焼いて売ってくれます。気に入って購入する場合もあるので、お金を持って行った方が良いです。
We got great enjoyment from para sailing.
Crew was absolutely splendid. Instructions
were clear and easy to understand.
It was amazing! The ocean was beautiful, and I really had a great time!! I want to go back and jump again when I visit Hawaii!
さいこうでしたぁー!
海も綺麗だし本当に楽しかったです!!
ハワイに行ったらまた飛びたいとおもいます!
We participated as a couple. We went to various places, but it was our first time in Kailua! It's an area that's been featured a lot in magazines recently, so I was looking forward to it. The departure went by in no time, and we arrived around 9 AM, earlier than scheduled. There was an initial briefing about the facilities and some important points, which took a little time, but it made us feel secure about participating. Since the time was short, from 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM, we planned to enjoy the beach in the morning and shopping in the afternoon. We hesitated about renting bikes due to the additional fee (around $10), but it turned out to be the right decision. If you want to enjoy both the beach and shopping, it's definitely better to rent a bike. Everything you need for the beach can be rented, so we borrowed a bodyboard and eagerly headed to the beach, but the sea was like a lake. I later asked the shop staff, and they said there are waves on some days. If you're planning to use a board, it might be better to check the sea first. In the end, we only had lunch at the beach, but enjoying a delicious lunch while gazing at the beautiful beach was the best! As everyone has mentioned, the spinach pizza is delicious! However, if you go as a couple, it might be better to get one bento and one pizza each. Sharing a pizza might get boring. Kailua Town is just the right size for cycling, so you won't wander around unnecessarily, and it's easy to see everything. There are many cute interior shops, and I did quite a bit of shopping. Even with the weak yen, I think it's more economical to buy sale items than online. The Japanese staff at the shop were friendly and fun, and I was satisfied with Kailua Town, so I'm glad we participated. However, I felt that the time was a bit short until 2:30 PM while we were in the sea. I would love to visit again slowly.
夫婦で参加しました。いろいろな所に行きましたが、カイルアは初めて!最近雑誌でもよく紹介されているエリアなので楽しみにしていました。出発してからはあっと言う間、予定時間より早く9時くらいには到着しました。最初に施設の事、注意事項、いろいろ説明があり少し時間がかかってしまいますが、安心して参加できます。9時30分~14時30分の短い時間ですので私たちは午前中海、午後買い物と思っていました。自転車は別途料金($10くらい)がかかるので悩みましたが、レンタルして正解でした。海と買い物、両方楽しみたい方は絶対にレンタルした方がいいです。海に必要な物は全てレンタル出来るので、ボディーボードを借りて張り切ってビーチに行きましたが、湖のような海。後でお店の人に聞きましたが、日によっては波もあるとの事。ボードをしようと思っている方は最初に海にチェックに行かれた方がいいかな。結局ビーチではランチを食べただけでしたが、きれいなビーチを眺めながらの美味しいランチは最高でした!皆さん書いていますがほうれん草のピザ美味しいです!でも、2人で行ったらお弁当とピザ一つずつがいいかもしれません。2人でピザだとあきそうです。カイルアタウンは自転車で廻るのにちょうどいい大きさでムダにうろうろする事もなく見やすいです。インテリアの可愛いお店がたくさんあり、私は結構買い物をしました。円安ですがセールのものがあればネットで買うよりお得だと思います。ショップの日本人スタッフの方、楽しく親切で、カイルアタウンにも満足で参加してよかったです。ただ、海に入っていたらやはり14時30分までだと時間が足りなかったかな。また、ゆっくり訪れてみたいです。
It was my first time in Kailua! Since it's a beach that has been ranked number one in the U.S., I was looking forward to snorkeling, but my actual experience felt like I was just taken there. However, for those who are familiar with the area, it might be nice to have that freedom. But if you're just being taken along, I felt it was quite expensive. They do lend snorkeling sets, mats, and bodyboards, and lunch is included (I was looking forward to the lunch menu, but it turned out to be a special menu just for lunch, so I was disappointed when I was told that after choosing from the menu at the register). Still, I felt it was expensive. The ocean is incredibly beautiful, and I think I saw some nice sights, but I didn't see many fish. Of course, there were a few. I wasn't told about the snorkeling points, so it would have been nice if they had informed me about them. Or maybe there just aren't many corals? I'm not sure. The sandy beach is very beautiful! The staff speaks Japanese and is very nice, but since it was a tour in an unfamiliar place, I felt it was quite expensive for being so hands-off (or, to put it positively, free). But the ocean is truly beautiful! We rented bikes and went to Lanikai Beach, which is about a 15-minute ride away (probably currently ranked number one in the U.S.), and it was even more wonderful than Kailua! The water is shallower than in Kailua, and the waves aren't rough, so I definitely think it's worth the trip! We left Kailua early to go to Lanikai Beach, and it turned out to be great because we could spend more time there! I didn't see any turtles, but it was incredibly beautiful! I couldn't find any fish, but the beauty made me feel like that didn't matter! Overall, the ocean is amazing! It would have been even better if they could have shared more recommended spots. Also, the return bus at 2:30 felt a bit short!
初めてのカイルアでした!全米ナンバーワンになったこともあるビーチということで、シュノーケルも出きるし、楽しみにしていましたが、実際はただ、連れていってもらっただけ、という印象でした。ただ、行ったことがあって、慣れた人なら自由でいいかもしれないし、連れていってもらうだけなら、結構高いと感じました。シュノーケルセットや、ゴザ、ボディーボードも貸してもらえるし、ランチ付(ランチはメニューみて、楽しみにしていたのですが、実際は、通常メニューではなく、ランチ専用だったので、メニュー選んでから、レジで言われたので残念でした。)ですが、それでも、高いと感じました。ただ、うみも凄く綺麗だし、場所的にはいいものが見れたなと思いましたが、魚は見れませんでした。もちろん、少しはいましたよ。シュノーケルポイントも、教えてもらえなかったので、あるなら、教えてもらえたら、良かったかな。それとも、もともと珊瑚が少なくいないのか?わかりません。砂浜がとても綺麗です!スタッフの対応も日本語通じるし、とても、いいですが、慣れてない場所での、ツアーだったので、私からしたら、こんなに、放置(よく言えば自由)の割には高いな、と。ただ、海は本当に綺麗!自前になりますが、レンタル自転車を借りて、15分位行った、ラニカイビーチ(多分現在米ナンバーワン)は、カイルア以上に素晴らしかった!カイルアより、浅瀬だし、波も荒くないので、絶対足を伸ばした方がいいと思います!私達は、早くカイルアをでて、ラニカイビーチに行ったので、結果長く過ごせて良かったです!!亀には会えませんでしたが、とてもとても綺麗でした!魚も見つけられなかったけど、そんなの関係ないと思える程綺麗でした!まぁ、トータルでまとめると、海は素晴らしい。!!もっと、お勧めポイントを教えて頂けるともっと良かったかな。あと、2時半に帰りのバスというのも、短い感じがしました!
Amazing crew and an amazing time! Would definitely suggest to anyone that wants to try parasailing!
We participated as a couple. We headed to the shop by bus. It’s a combined office and shop, and you can rent lockers, which is convenient for storing valuables. Users get discounts on shop items, so we bought surf brand T-shirts and accessories. It’s a better deal than buying in Waikiki.
It was our first time doing stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), but the guide was kind and taught us in a fun way. After receiving a lecture indoors, we headed to the ocean! The board is stable, so I could paddle without any issues while sitting. If you position yourself well, it’s easy to stand up.
We aimed for a nearby uninhabited island, which was a comfortable distance away, and took a break there. We enjoyed snacks and water, and the guide took photos with their camera. We received the photos via email later.
On the way back, I got quite used to it and paddled almost entirely while standing. The next day, we rented SUP boards at Waikiki Beach and enjoyed it for about two hours, getting really hooked on it.
Thanks to this tour, we were able to enjoy SUP on our own in Waikiki. The lunch included in the tour can be chosen from two restaurants on the premises. The pizza was quite substantial and delicious. I chose the recommended spinach and garlic pizza, which was incredibly tasty and addictive.
They lent us bicycles, so we went to Lanikai Beach during our free time. If you have a specific goal, I think there’s time to go shopping in Kailua town as well.
This tour is recommended because you can enjoy various activities, not just SUP, making it a great deal.
夫婦2人で参加しました。
バスでお店に向かいます。事務所兼ショップで、ロッカーを借りられるので貴重品等も入れられて便利。利用者はショップアイテムが安くなるのでサーフブランドTシャツや小物などを買いました。ワイキキで買うよりお得ですね。
初SUPでしたが、ガイドさんが優しく楽しく教えてくれました。
室内でレクチャーを受けいざ海へ!ボードは安定するので座ってなら問題なく漕ぐことが出来ます。スタンドも立つ位置がしっかりしていれば簡単に立てました。
近くの無人島を目指すのですが程よい距離でその無人島でひと休憩。お菓子と水を頂いたり、ガイドさんのカメラで写真を撮ってくれます。写真は後日メールで頂きました。
復路はだいぶ慣れてほぼスタンドで漕いで戻ってこれました。
次の日はワイキキビーチでSUPレンタルして2時間くらいSUPを楽しんだくらいハマりました。
このツアーで体験をしたおかげでワイキキで自分たちだけでもSUPが楽しめました。
ツアーでセットになっているランチは敷地内にある2店舗から選べます。
ピザは結構なボリュームでおいしかったです。オススメされたほうれん草とガーリックのピザにしましたがコレが美味でハマる味です。
自転車を貸してもらえたので空いた時間でラニカイビーチまで行きました。
目的がある程度決まっているならカイルア市街まで行って買い物する時間もあると思います。
SUPだけじゃなく色々楽しめるのでお得なツアーでオススメです。
