BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Great fun!

Reviewed by: Mike E.

Really neat experience! The view down below was awesome and the crew was helpful and fun. My only complaint was that it didn't last long enough - we could have stayed down all day!

I was satisfied! (^∀^) 満足でした(^∀^)

Reviewed by: Kた

It might be due to the timing, but unlike the options booked through the travel agency, there were no other Japanese participants, which made me really feel like I was abroad, and it was great! The parasailing experience was fun, and the instructors were interesting. I even got to see a shark, which is something you don't usually see. Although I was a bit nervous because communication in Japanese was limited and there was the shark, I was very satisfied with this valuable experience!

時期的な事もあるかもしれませんが、旅行会社で予約したオプションとは違い、他の参加者に日本人がいなかったので海外に来たっていう実感ができとてもよかったです!
体験したパラセイリングもインストラクターの方々も面白く、普段はあまり見られないという鮫も見れ、日本語があまり通じないってのと鮫には少しドキドキしたけど、貴重な体験ができとても満足でした♪

ハワイで釣り!ワイキキ沖 乗り合いシャーク・ハントツアー スリル満点のサメ釣り体験!<夜/送迎付き>

Don't forget your motion sickness medication!! 酔止めは忘れずに!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I couldn't help but participate in this unique activity that isn't offered elsewhere. In my group, there were 8 Japanese and 8 foreigners, totaling 16 participants, and we managed to catch sharks 4 times. (It's a rough estimate, but that would be about a 25% success rate.)

As long as you don't have overly high expectations that you'll definitely catch something and remember to take motion sickness medication beforehand, you can have a truly wonderful experience. However, the staff members hardly speak any Japanese, so you won't be able to catch all the detailed instructions. Also, we always seemed to get hits at specific spots. When I participated, the rods were mostly set up at the bow... I recommend taking a position at the front of the boat and giving it a try.

こんな珍しいアクティビティは他で催行してないので思わず参加してみました。私の参加した組は、日本人8名、外人8名の計16名で、サメが釣れたのは4回でした。(大雑把な目安ですが、確立で言えば25%ってとこでしょうか)
必ず釣れると過度の期待をしないこと、事前に酔止め薬を飲んでおくこと、の2点さえ忘れなければ、かなり素晴らしい体験ができます。ただ、スタッフさんは皆日本語がほとんど話せないので細かい注意事項は聞き取れないです。あと、いつも特定の場所の竿にHITしてました。私が参加したときは舳先にセッティングされた竿ばかり・・・。だまされたと思って船の前方に陣取ってみて下さい。

It feels great!! 気持ちいい!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Two foreign staff members assisted us, one as the driver and the other explaining the parasailing and helping us put on life jackets.

They provided explanations in both English and Japanese, so it was fine even if you didn't understand English.

While the foreigners flew one by one, I requested to go up together with another person.

At first, the boat sped off quickly, which was overwhelming, but once we were flying, it wasn't scary at all!

In fact, the wind was refreshing and the view was great☆

At the end, they playfully dropped us into the sea, but if you say "NO," they won't let you fall. Haha!

The flying experience went by in a flash!!

It was $15, and they also took photos. Since it was on film, we couldn't check them on the spot, but they had a telephoto lens, so they took pictures even after we were flying. I’m looking forward to the 24 shots we took.

Tips are requested separately. It might be a good idea to bring a little cash for tips for the camera.

担当してくれたのは外国人の方が二人で、運転手とパラセイリングの説明やライフジャケットを着せてくれて、上にあげてくれる人。

説明は英語と日本語でそれぞれしてくれたので、英語がわからなくても大丈夫でした。

外国人は一人ずつ飛んでいたましたが、私は二人でお願いして一緒に上げてもらいました。


最初はボートが勢いよく進んでいくので圧倒されたけど、飛んでしまえばぜんぜん怖くなかったです!

むしろ、風が吹いてで景色も良かったのでさわやかでした☆

最後に愛嬌でぼちゃんと海に落とされるのですが、ちゃんとNOといえば落とさないでくれます。笑

あっという間のフライングでした!!

15ドルでしたから写真も撮ってくれます。
フィルムなのでその場で確認することは出来ませんが、望遠レンズ付なので飛んでからも写真を撮っていました。24枚取りで出来上がりが楽しみです。

チップは別に要求されます。
カメラをチップで少しお金を持っていくといいかもしれません。

Captain Tiger's Waikiki Daytime and Sunset Bottom Fishing Cruise [Closed]

Great value

Reviewed by: Mike

The boat ride out to our fishing spot was worth the price in itself, I had never been on a boat before or on muchless the open ocean. The seas were relatively calm but our party of 3 all took a motion sickness preventative and none of us experienced any problems during the trip. Make sure to bring a light jacket as it will feel cool with the wind and especially after the sun goes down.

The crew made us feel comfortable and safe at all times, provided dinner on the way out to sea and we were also able to eat our catch if you wanted to.

We each caught one fish and had a good relaxing time on the way home with the view of Oahu & the stars from sea.

サーフィン・レッスン アラモアナ・ビーチ・パーク 3歳から参加できる! by サーフHNL

It was fun. 楽しかったです。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

My husband experienced it for the first time in 20 years, and it was my first experience, but the staff taught us various things in advance, so we felt safe entering the sea. We had a lesson with three people, including someone from Europe, and they helped us compare the waves so that everyone could ride equally. It was exciting to ride the waves and I was thrilled. I definitely want to participate again.

主人は20年ぶり、私は初体験でしたが、スタッフの方が事前にいろいろ教えてくれ安心して海に入れました。
欧人の方と3人のレッスンでしたが、どの人にもまんべんなく乗れるよう波を見比べてくれ、楽しく波に乗ることができ感激でした。

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

Loved It

Reviewed by: Mapes

We booked this tour on line before arriving in Waikiki. Wondered if we had made a mistake, but the tour was great. We were picked up on schedule exactly as promised. Our tour guide, Sam, was informative and knowledgeable about the island and the culture.

The best part of this tour is the choices! The next best thing is how much time you have on your own to enjoy the activity choices. Couldn't have been better. Absolutely loved it! Would go again.

Reviewed by: Lien

Hello All!
My husband and I took this tour on Tuesday, Oct 6th, 2009. It was the best tour ever! North Shore is beautiful and absolutely amazing. We had one activity and rode a beach cruiser to all the beaches. We hung out at Waimea Beach and the waves were pretty insane. There was a surfing competition on the other beach. We saw sea turtles and that was a SIGHT! Our tour guide Sam is the definitely the coolest guide ever. We 100% recommend this activity to everyone. No joke. If you don't believe, you guys can contact us at mdot42@hotmail.com. =D

It was awesome. It was our first time and the staff was very knowledgeable about every aspect of the activity. They both were very friendly, took pictures, and answered questions. We would recommend this to everyone. You have a beautiful view from up there. Was a little scary at first, then you relax and enjoy the view of beach and Diamond Head. Would do it again

At first... 初めは・・・。

Reviewed by: SHO

I had my first experience at the age of sixty. I was a bit anxious before getting on the boat, but once we started, I forgot all about it. This time, I participated with my wife. Since we were in Waikiki, we had a great view of Diamond Head and the city of Honolulu. The instructions were in English, but they also spoke a little Japanese, which made me feel at ease. The blue of the ocean and the blue of the sky were amazing, and without the sound of the wind, I truly felt like a bird. I would love to experience this again if I have the chance.

Lastly, I was a bit flustered when a foreigner prepared a tip, but I think it would be good if that was clearly stated. I went this time for my son's wedding, and I was able to have a wonderful experience.

初めての体験を、還暦にしました。ボートに乗る前はやや不安でしたが、スタートしたら忘れてしまいました。今回はワイフと参加しました。ワイキキですので、ダイアモンドヘッドやホノルルの町が一望。説明は英語でしたが、片言の日本語でも話してくれたので安心でした。海の青さと空の青さが素晴らしく、風の音も無く本当に鳥に成った気分でした。機会が有れば何度でも体験してみたいです。
最後に、外国人がチップを用意したので慌てましたが、明記して頂けたら良いと思いました。今回は息子の結婚式で行きましたが、素晴らしい体験をする事が出来ました。

ハンズ・ヒーデマン サーフィンレッスン

Highly recommended!! It's so much fun! オススメー!!すごく楽しいデスよぉ!

Reviewed by: satomi.

We participated as a group of three women. One of us was a complete beginner, while the other two had only tried it a few times. However, it was our first time surfing in Hawaii... The price was affordable, we wanted to learn from locals, and transportation was included!

While the instructions were in English, I think it would be fine even for those who don't understand English. (There were also people who could speak Japanese.)

In any case, I highly recommend it! The instructors are kind and will definitely help beginners stand up on the board. However, if you prefer a slower pace and more thorough instruction, it might be better to avoid group sessions.

女子3人で参加しましたぁ。
一人はまったくの初心者で、あと2人は数回やった事があるぐらいです。でも、HAWAIIでサーフィンするのは初めてなので・・・。価格も安いし、地元の人に教えてもらいたいし、送迎もついてたので!
教えてもらっている時は英語でしたケド英語が分からない人でも大丈夫だと思いますよー。
(日本語が話せる方もいたので。)

とにかくオススメです!
優しく教えてくれるし、初めての人でも絶対に立てます。
ただ、もっとゆっくりと、しっかり教えて欲しい方などは、グループ参加じゃナイ方が良いかもしれませんね。

I went parasailing for the first time in Hawaii, and it was fantastic.

I chose the standard plan, and the view of Waikiki from above was great, with a very pleasant breeze.

Since you'll be in the sun, it might be better to go early in the morning or in the evening.

The staff was very accommodating, and I had a great time.

ハンズ・ヒーデマン サーフィンレッスン

Recommended for beginners. 初心者にお勧め

Reviewed by: kainosuke

It's a waste not to go surfing when you're in Hawaii! I decided to give it a try. As a result, even as a beginner, I was able to stand up on my first wave. The staff takes great care to ensure that everyone can stand up and ride the waves.

However, I noticed that two young Japanese girls were being hit on by the staff. I recommend this experience for those who don't mind that sort of thing and can enjoy it as part of the fun. If you participate as a couple, you probably won't have to worry about such things.

It seems that the staff can speak basic Japanese. Even those who are worried about their English can enjoy themselves without any concerns. The price is likely high because it's aimed at Japanese tourists. Well, you can enjoy it at a reasonable price for what you get.

 せっかくハワイに行くのにサーフィンをしないなんて勿体ない!と思って利用しました。結果、初心者でも初めての波で立てました。必ず立って波に乗れるように、スタッフが至れり尽くせりの世話をしてくれます。

 が、若い日本人の女の子(2人連れでした)はスタッフにナンパされていました。そういうことを気にしない人、それも含めて楽しめる人に勧めです。カップルで参加すれば、そういった心配もないでしょう。

 スタッフは簡単な日本語ならみんなできるようです。英語が心配な人でも安心してたのしめます。値段が高いのは日本人向けだからでしょう。まあ、お値段なりに、お手軽に楽しめます。

Kailua Bay 2-Hour Guided Kayaking Tour with Lunch - Explore Tide Pools & More!

2-hour guided tour

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The location was amazing! I would definitely recommend this to first timers to kayaking and hawaii. This was my boyfriend's first trip to hawaii and I wanted to show him what hawaii had to offer. This tour was the cherry on top. Kailua Beach is one of the best/beautiful beaches on the island. I felt more secure doing the guided tour since I have never went ocean kayaking before. Drew, our tour guide, was the coolest and he passionately knew everything about the location and wildlife. We actually flipped over in our kayak. It wasn't that scary since we had life jackets and the other kayakers and tour guide helped us back on our kayak. I'm glad we flipped cuz after we got situated back on our kayak which was further away from the group, we wouldn't have seen the sea turtle that was swimming by.
The tour started with paddling to an island 2-3 miles away. We explored the island listening to stories and facts from the tour guide for about 30-40minutes. After that we kayaked back

Wow

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was the first time every for either one of us to go parasailing. What a great time. The staff was very helpful and made sure that we all felt safe before we went up. We only went up 700 feet next time (and yes there will be a next time) we will go up higher. Once you are in the air you get a birds eye view of Wakiki beach. Don't worry about bringing your camera up with you because the staff will take about 15 or so pictures of you while in the air for a small fee. We also like the fact that you get lifted from the boat itself and not being pulled from the beach. The staff also keeps any eye on you while you are in the air to be sure that you are safe at all times.

The ride from Waikiki was long, but the driver entertained us with great facts. The hike to the waterfall was nice. Unfortunately there seemed to not be enough time to do two activities in the morning. We hiked back down to the beach and only had enough time to jump in the water before pick up. I missed jumping off the rocks:( The kayak was relaxing and provided us with a great tan!

The Air Up There

Reviewed by: HONEYMOONERS!!!!

the crew was AWSOME. In fact, the whole day prior to going up my wife was trying to pay me what i paid to no do the event because she was so scared and we even had to go first! I told her to suck it up and it ended up being her favorite event, and we went for the highest one at 500 feet! They guys were careful and kind to help her through it. The ride was beautiful in the air and on the boat! Ignore the reviews that say the guys hastle you for tips and there isn't $20 dollar bills all over the boat. There is some on a pole near the front, maybe 6, and the guys say if you enjoyed the ride tips are welcomed. So if all that makes you feel pressured, then stop whining and enjoy the ride or don't go at all!

Kailua Bay 2-Hour Guided Kayaking Tour with Lunch - Explore Tide Pools & More!

Self-guided kayacking rental :0

Reviewed by: Caylah

One of my favorite activities of the trip! We opted for the all day rental which is a steal at $59!! I was a first timer but my partner is, at least, intermediate. I had so much fun! On the all day rental you can keep the kayack for 8 hours but we only went out for about 5 hours...its def. a workout! We were able to paddle out to different uninhabited islands and explore and snorkle. I like the idea of the self guided all day rental bc we werent on a time line and we were ale to go at our own pace. However, if youre a beginner i would def. recommend the kayacking tour. A few of them stopped by the island when we were there and everyone seemed to be having a great time, as did we!! It was great to spend the day in the sun while doing something different... i can only lay on the beach for so many days before i get bored :) If your considering the kayacking tour or just rental...do it, you wont be disappointed!

My daughter and her best friend were given a trip to Hawaii as a graduation gift. They went parasailing while there. They had a great time doing it. As a way to remember this once in a lifetime experience, I paid for the 24 exposure roll of pictures to be taken. When they returned home, the roll of film was brought to be processed.
