I participated in early December, and unfortunately, the weather was quite chilly and rainy, but I still had a great time. There were beautiful coral reefs nearby, and fish were swimming right in front of me. Just peeking into the water was captivating, and while enjoying other activities, time flew by quickly. During the round trip to the sandbar, there was also a performance by the crew, and the captain and crew's stories were entertaining as well.
参加日は12月初旬あいにく肌寒く、雨も降るイマイチな天候でしたがそれでも存分に楽しめました。
綺麗なサンゴ礁が近くにあり、目の前を魚が回遊しています。海中を覗くだけで夢中になれますし、他のアクティビティも堪能していると、あっという間に時間がなくなります。
サンドバーまでの往復中も、クルーの演奏もあり、また船長やクルーたちのお話も面白かったです。

I had signed up for a clear kayak and snorkeling experience, but due to the possibility of rain, I was given the option to cancel at the last minute or switch to a regular kayak. Since I had already arranged a rental car from Waikiki to Haleiwa and everything was planned, I couldn't cancel. As a result, I ended up with just the regular kayak for two hours, which was quite boring. In the end, the weather improved on the day, and it didn't rain, plus the waves weren't high, but I still couldn't do the clear kayak and snorkeling.
Additionally, I received a text the day before asking me to look for a white truck, and since the company operated with just one truck, there was no office building at the meeting point. The way it was described during the booking made it seem like there would be a building, which caused quite a bit of confusion. I was told that if I came in the summer, I could do the clear kayak and snorkeling, but I wanted to combine it with the Honolulu Marathon, so I came in the winter. If it says that clear kayaking and snorkeling are available, I really hoped they would do their best to provide those activities.
申し込んだクリアカヤックとシュノーケリングが出来ず、雨が降るかもということで直前にキャンセルするかレギュラーカヤックにするかの選択肢を出され、ワイキキからハレイワへのレンタルカーも用意してすべて計画済の後だったのでキャンセルするわけにもいかず、クリアカヤックとシュノーケリングの料金でレギュラーカヤックだけとなりそれが2時間で退屈なものとなった。結局当日天気は持ち直し雨も降らず波も高くなかったがクリアカヤックとシュノーケリングはしてもらえなかった。また前日にショートメールが来て白いトラックを探してくれということで、トラック1台で運用してる会社だったので、集合場所に事務所的な建物はなく、申込時は建物があるような書き方だったので、かなり混乱すると思います。夏に来ればクリアカヤックとシュノーケリングが出来るのにと言われたが、ホノルルマラソンと合わせたかったので冬に来たが、クリアカヤックとシュノーケリングが出来ると書くのであれば、極力クリアカヤックとシュノーケリングを実施してほしかった。

The weather was questionable, and on the day I had a reservation, the captain decided not to set sail, forcing me to change my schedule to the next day. I wish they had covered the Uber fare from the hotel! My plans were significantly disrupted. However, I really wanted to try parasailing 🪂, so I was glad I could experience it. Fortunately, I had a shopping day that didn’t include any tours, but if it had been later in my trip, I would have had to give up on it. If it were among Japanese people, it would be great to get to know each other on the boat and take pictures for free, but for a honeymoon, it might be worth paying for more photos in terms of quantity and quality.
天気が微妙で、予約した日がキャプテンの判断で船が出ず、次の日に日程を変更せざるを得ない状況になりました。ホテルからのUber代とか払って欲しかった!予定はだいぶ狂いました。でもどうしてもパラセーリング🪂をして見たかったので体験できて良かったです。たまたまツアーを入れていない買い物デーがあったから良かったけど、旅の後半だったら諦めるしかなかった。日本人同士なら、船の中で仲良くなって、写真をお互いに撮り合うのが無料で1番いいけど、ハネムーンとかなら写真の量やクオリティ的に課金もありかな。
If you don't want to get wet, just let them know in advance not to drop you in the water, and they will make sure you stay dry.

We signed up for the 150m experience as a couple. On the day of the event, the reception and crew warmly welcomed us, and we were able to add a photo service for $40. There was also a family of three from West Virginia who joined us spontaneously, and we set off. The 150m height was higher than I imagined, offering a panoramic view of the ocean and Waikiki. You can spot places you visited during your walk and your hotel, enjoying the scenery from different angles (though looking down is quite scary!). The photos are transferred to your smartphone on the spot, and you also receive an SD card. The access is good, and it wraps up quickly, making it an experience I would highly recommend.

The experience itself was very enjoyable, especially since it was my first time. However, the northeast wind (trade winds) starts to blow strongly around noon in Waikiki, so it's better to choose an early morning time. Also, the height measurements are incorrect; they should be around 800 feet (about 26 meters) and 100 feet (about 33 meters). Wouldn't it be better to correct this?

At first, I thought 120 meters would be scary, but it was really exhilarating and stable! Since it was sunny and the temperature was high, I didn't feel cold at all even though it was December when I got in the water. The instructor was cheerful and talked to us; I didn't understand much English, but we had fun communicating through nuances. (laughs)
At the beginning, I noticed that those who went first didn't fall into the sea, so I thought, "Oh, you don't get wet," but then I was dramatically dropped during the performance! (laughs)
Also, I have a tendency to get seasick easily, so I took motion sickness medication the night before and on the day of the trip, and I kept a mint in my mouth while on the boat, which helped me barely hold on. However, the side-to-side swaying when the boat was stationary was quite strong, so it's dangerous to go without any seasickness measures! 💦
120mで最初は怖いかも…と思っていましたが、安定感もあってすごく爽快でした!

また、元々とても船酔いしやすい体質だったので前日の夜と当日に酔い止め、船に乗っている最中は常にミンティアを口に含んでいた為、ギリギリ持ちこたえましたが船が停船している時の横揺れがかなり強かったので、なんの船酔い対策もせずに行くのは危ないです💦

Unfortunately, my older child had a fever, and since the cancellation would result in a full charge, I attended with my younger child, who is in first grade. (I reluctantly gave up the fee for the absent child.) However, I am grateful for the courteous response from the office, which offered to change the date.
I also added bus transportation, but since the meeting point is quite far, I think it would be better for those staying around Waikiki who haven't decided on transportation options to include it. The bus driver was a cheerful and kind Japanese woman!
Regarding the activity, I changed the date and participated in the afternoon, and while I was aware of it, the tide was high that day. When we arrived, the sandbar was gone, and the water was too deep for adults to stand, which scared my younger child, who clung to me and struggled. It was difficult to swim even the short distance of about 10 meters to the floating island where we could canoe, and I thought we might drown. My child, who had become completely intimidated during the move, was also scared of the canoe, and in the end, we managed to return to the boat and spent the entire time on board, which was disappointing.
While I understand this is a matter of personal responsibility, I think it would have been nice if they had differentiated the price a bit, such as lowering it during high tide, to avoid any frustration.
However, other families were enjoying snorkeling, riding banana boats, and seemed to be having a great time. They had plenty of time, and I believe those who are mainly considering activities other than the sandbar would really enjoy it.
What impressed me was the live music performance on the boat; it was pleasant to listen to music while feeling the breeze.
On that day, participants included people from Japan, as well as from China, South Korea, and the mainland United States. The crew consisted of one Japanese person and local staff.
あいにく上の子が熱を出し、キャンセルは全額になるため小1の下の子と2人で参加してきました。(不参加分のお代は泣く泣く諦めました)

バスの運転手さんは日本人の女性で明るくて優しい方でした!
アクティビティですが、日時を変更し午後参加になり、分かっては居ましたがその日の午後は満潮。
着いたらサンドバーは無く大人も足がつかない深さで下の子はとても怖がりしがみつき暴れるので、カヌーが出来る浮島まで移動する間の10M位だけでも泳ぐのが困難で溺れるかと思いました。移動ですっかり萎縮した子供はカヌーも怖がり、結局なんとか必死に船上に戻ってずっと船の上で過ごすことになったのは残念でした。
今回のことは自己責任ではありますが、せめて満潮時は値段を下げていただくなど少し差別化をして貰えたらモヤモヤもなかったかなと思います。
ただ他のご家族はシュノーケリングを楽しんでいたり、バナナボートをしたり、各々楽しそうで、時間もたっぷりあり、サンドバー以外のアクティビティをメインに考えていらっしゃる方にはとても楽しめると思います。
感動したのは船上のライブ演奏で、ゆったり音楽を聞きながら風を感じるのは心地よかったです。
その日の参加は、日本の他、中国、韓国、アメリカ本土からの方が参加されていました。クルーの皆さんは日本人の方1名と、現地の方がいらっしゃいました。
If you're considering going, I think it's a good idea to check the tide calendar and other information.

Canoe surfing is so fun. Our guide was awesome … we would have loved a few more waves! An hour on the water would have rocked! But we had such a great time.
Aloha, J+T! Mahalo for the 5-star rating! Please sign up for one-hour canoe charter next time so that you'll get to catch more waves! Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Got picked up at the hotel in Waikiki. We were 4. It was a short drive to the sandbar. What an experience. It literally looked like Tahiti. The Hawaiian singers/ukulele players were amazing and the staff was friendly and so accommodating. We enjoyed everything about the day, but the views were to die for. We appreciated the affordable alcoholic beverages that were offered as well as the free fresh donuts. We really enjoyed floating on the barge and kayaking and it was my first time on a paddleboard. What was so cool was that the water there is as calm as the lake.! we would highly recommend this trip!
Aloha KBR 204,
Thank you very much for your 5-star review with beautiful photos. We are very happy to hear that you all had a fun time with us.
We are looking forward to seeing you all again soon!

I finally managed to convince my wife to go parasailing. At first, I was filled with fear, but according to her, once we were up in the air, we could see Diamond Head, the hotel we were staying at, and Waikiki Beach. It was the best location!
女房説得し、やっとパラセーリングをすることができました。最初は恐怖心でいっぱいでしたが、女房曰く上がってみるとダイヤモンドヘッドは見えるし、止まっていたホテルも見えるし、ワイキキビーチも見えるし最高のロケーションでした。
Please give it a try.
チャレンジしてください。

The prices are reasonable, and there's enough time spent floating to have a lot of fun. Above all, the quick transitions and the efficient putting on and taking off of equipment made it very time-effective, and it was great to see Diamond Head from the ocean. The time from gathering to dispersing is short, allowing for additional plans afterward. I felt that it was a good cost-performance ratio because I was able to enjoy it in a short time and was very satisfied.
お手頃な価格ですが、浮いている時間もソコソコあるので十分楽しめます。
なによりテキパキと交代、装備の付け外しをしてくれるのでとてもタイパが良く、海からのダイヤモンドヘッドも見られて良かったです。集合から解散までの時間が短いので、その後にも予定が入れられます。
短い時間で楽しめて満足度も高いのでコスパが良いと感じました。
You can land without getting into the sea, but since you're here, I recommend enjoying the experience of getting into the water.
海に浸かることなく着地も出来るようですが、せっかくなので海に浸かることをオススメします。
