BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Fantastic

Reviewed by: Alberta

This was probably my favorite thing I did in Hawaii. I was scared at first and made them bring me up, but I tried again and had to close my eyes as I was being lowered in the water. It was awesome once you got under water and could see all the fish. We got to feed them bread. We even saw a huge sea turtle while we were under there. It was the most unique thing I had ever done and would love to do it again. It's definitely something everyone should try and do while they're there.

The Sashimi fishing trip was well done. We were picked up at our hotel on time. Chuck and Henry helped newcomers set up their poles and with the fish when they were caught. The barbecue was well done. Would recommend it to anyone looking for something different to do in Hawaii.

ハンズ・ヒーデマン サーフィンレッスン

微妙。。。 びみょう。。。

Reviewed by: ナーナン

Before heading to the sea, I was taught how to stand on the board inside the shop. The instructor taught me in broken Japanese, but once we got into the water, the instructor spoke only English except for a few phrases like "paddle," "stand," "come here," and "danger." I don't understand English at all, so even if I had questions or things I wanted to know, I couldn't get my point across, which made me anxious in the water.

I had surfed once in Japan just for fun, so I could manage somewhat without starting from scratch, but my companion was a complete beginner and not very athletic, so they struggled with paddling. I felt like we were left to fend for ourselves, and I don't think it was a very good school.

There were about four instructors in the water (with many students), and one of the Black instructors was particularly strict, to the point of being harsh. He would push his board towards students in front of him without any concern, which could have caused serious accidents.

I think it would be tough for someone with no surfing experience and no understanding of English.

海に向かう前に、店内でボードに立つ立ち方を教わりました。その先生は日本語(カタコト)で教えてくれましたが、
海に入ってからの先生は、日本語は全く理解できず、「こいで」「立って」「こっち来て」「危ない」以外は全て英語でした。
私は英語が全くダメなので、わからない事や、聞きたい事があっても理解してもらえず、海の中では不安でした。

サーフィンは日本で1回遊び程度にやった事があるので、いちから教えてもらわなくてもそれなりにできましたが、私の連れは全く初めてで運動もできる方ではなかったので、パドリングもうまくできなかったのですが、放置されたり、あまりいいスクールではないかなと思います。

海の中の先生は4人くらいいましたが(生徒はいっぱい)、そのうちの黒人の先生は特に厳しいというか、ひどかったです。前に生徒がいるのにそこに向かって平気でボードを押されたりして、ぶつかったら一大事なのに。。。

サーフィンの経験が全くなく、英語も全くわからない方は厳しいと思います。

It was unexpectedly fun. 予想外に楽しかった

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I thought it would be scary, but when I actually went up in the air, I was moved by the beauty of the surrounding scenery. Even though the wind was strong, there was hardly any shaking, and I regretted not bringing my camera.

While I was up there, a rainbow appeared, which made the experience even more amazing. I think it lasted less than 10 minutes, but I was completely satisfied. I felt like I wanted to try it again and again. The staff only spoke English, but they were bold and fun people. Those who can't speak any English might feel anxious, but I think as long as you understand some words, you'll have no problem enjoying it.

I highly recommend it!

怖そうだと思っていましたが、実際上空へ行くと周りの景色のすばらしさに感動。風が強くても揺れはほとんど無く、カメラを持っていかなかったことを後悔したほどです。
上空にいた際、ちょうど虹が出ていて感動倍増。10分も無かったと思いますが、大満足。何回でもトライしたい気分でした。 スタッフも英語しか話せませんが、豪快で楽しい人達。英語がまったく出来ない人は不安かもしれませんが、単語さえ理解できれば問題なく楽しめると思います。

I love parasailing, so whenever I go to a resort abroad, I always do it. The extreme height is quite impressive. Flying over the ocean while feeling the wind is the best! It feels amazing! The view of Honolulu is also great. Towards the end, you splash down into the water up to your waist. Overall, it was so much fun!

However, since most of the instructions were in English, I was a bit confused about which car to take on the way back.

パラセイリングは大好きなので、海外のリゾート地に行くと必ずやってます。

We went parasailing for our honeymoon with my husband for the first time! Everyone else participating was a foreigner, but they all friendly talked to us and we took pictures of each other. Most of the explanations were in English, but important points were explained with gestures and in Japanese. The instructor was also very lively, shaking the ropes and playfully dropping us into the sea, which made it a lot of fun. Since it was our honeymoon, the instructor kindly celebrated with everyone at the end.

I was a bit confused about where to go before and after the ride, but there was a natural flow, so I just followed everyone.

There was no waiting time, and the view of the sea and Diamond Head from above is a must-see!

ハンズ・ヒーデマン サーフィンレッスン

Ah, my leg... あ、足が。。。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We gathered at the school office and practiced how to stand on a surfboard. After that, we each took two surfboards and walked across the street to the beach, immediately getting into the water and following the instructor. As someone who doesn't exercise much, I was already exhausted by this point. I desperately followed the instructor's commands of "Paddle!" and "Stand up!" By the end of the day, all participants were able to stand on their boards. It felt truly refreshing to glide through the wind. I'm really glad I participated. One downside was that the ocean floor was covered in rocks and corals. When I got back to the hotel and looked at my feet, I found many scrapes and was bleeding. (laughs) I think it would be good to take some precautions for that.

スクール事務所に集合して、簡単にサーフボードの上にどうやって立つのかを練習後、二人で2枚づつサーフボードを持って道を渡ってビーチまで歩き、即水に入って先生の後についてこいでいきます。運動不足の私はこのあたりで既にへとへとでした。先生の「こいで!」「立って!」の声にあわせて、後は必死。その日の参加者はすぐに全員板の上に立つことができました。風を切って進むときは本当に爽快です。本当に参加してよかったです。一つだけ、難点は、海の底が岩?サンゴ?だらけでした。ホテルに帰って足を見たらたくさんの擦り傷から流血していました。(笑)何か対策をしてゆくと良いと思います。

Reviewed by: ハワイ大好き!

Parasailing was something I absolutely wanted to try in Hawaii. I was a bit anxious about the fact that everything was in English, but the driver, the instructor (everyone was handsome!), and the ticket booth staff were all very kind, so there were no problems at all. My father (68), who had signed up as an observer, suddenly decided he wanted to participate on-site, so he signed up on the day with his limited English. He was able to join after paying the difference, and off we went to the sea! Everyone else was foreign couples, but the atmosphere was great, and I felt no tension at all. It seems we were set to a height one level above standard, but there was no sense of fear, and we enjoyed the amazing view. Even at my father's age, he could participate and have fun. In the end, we took a great photo with the instructor! We also had photos taken for an additional fee, but since the boat was swaying, I think they turned out better than what we could have taken ourselves. Next time, I’ll challenge myself to go even higher!

ハワイで絶対にやってみたかったパラセイル。英語のみというのが少し不安でしたが、ドライバーさんもインストラクターさん(みんなイケメン!)もチケット売り場の人たちもみんな親切で、全く問題ありませんでした。見学者で申し込みをしていた父(68)が、現地でやっぱり参加したいと言い出したので、つたない英語で当日申し込み。差額の支払いで参加でき、いざ、海へ!私たち以外はみな外国人のカップルでしたが、とてもいい雰囲気で、緊張も全くしませんでした。私たちだけスタンダードより一つ上の高さにしていたらしいのですが、恐怖感は全くなく、最高の眺めを満喫しました。父の年齢でも十分参加できますし、楽しめます。最後はばっちり、インストラクターさんと写真を撮りました♪別料金で写真も撮ってもらいましたが、船が揺れているので、自分たちで撮るよりきれいに撮れるのではないかと思います。次はもっと上まで挑戦します!

x-treme parasailing

Reviewed by: skeen

Parasailing is fun. x-treme parasailing was not worth the added expense. We saw no difference in the duration of the ride. In fact other riders who did not pay for extreme were given equal and/or better experiences. (ie..same duration and being dunked, also boat pulling them). Honestly, we felt a bit cattled through the process. Would parasail again, but not the x-treme parasailing. Save the added money for something else!

Hawaii Jet Ski Ride Adventure at Maunalua Bay - H2O Sports

FUN

Reviewed by: Dru

I have been to many exotic places in the carribbean and took part in jet skiing there. In other places (mexico,barbados,st. thomas, bahamas,puerto rico) you rent the jet ski on your own and go where you want which is pretty cool. Here at sea breeze it's a little more controlled which is good as well. Sea breeze staff were awesome and works hard. They are all about safety because you have to watch a safety video. The activities are more controlled because when you jet ski, you have to go around in a circle in a somewhat controlled area. They also take pics of you on a chip that they download on their computer later for your purchase of $30 so take extra money because the pics are way cool.
AS for the parasailing, awesome. That was my first time as well as my wife. They dip you in the water which was a great experience and the views are out of this world. Well worth the money spent. Keep this in mind, when you go on vacation I understand families have a budget but expect to sp

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

As expected of Hawaii! さすがハワイ!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Since the children participated, my child was in a private session while I was in a semi-private session, with two instructors for the three of us. We booked a full three hours, but unlike surfing in Japan, the waves kept coming, and in the end, we could only last an hour and a half. It felt quite wasteful. Perhaps because we were experienced, the briefing on land was shorter? The kids were able to ride the waves that kept coming and seemed to feel great when praised. When I called to confirm our arrival, I received a confirmation call that evening. They asked for our weights, so I thought they would prepare boards suited for each of us, but all three of us ended up with soft tops (urethane boards). While they have buoyancy, I wonder if they might not be suitable for practice. The point is that from the yacht harbor next to the Hilton Rainbow Tower, even children can paddle out easily, so I think beginners and kids can participate without any trouble. The instructors didn't speak any Japanese, so if we had been better at English, our conversations would have flowed more, and it would have been even more enjoyable.

子供も参加したので、子供はプライベート、私はセミプライベートでの参加でしたが、インストラクター2人に私たち親子3人という形でした。たっぷり3時間予約しましたが、日本でのサーフィンとちがいどんどん波がくるので、結局1時間半しか体力が持ちませんでした。かなりもったいなかったです。経験者ということもあり、陸でのブリーフィングも短めだったのでしょうか?子供たちはどんどん来る波に乗って行き、誉められとても気分がよかったようです。到着確認の電話をしたらその晩に確認電話がありました。体重を聞かれたので、それぞれにあったボードを用意してくれるのかと思ったら、3人ともソフトップ(ウレタンボード)でした。浮力はあるのですが、練習にはならないかも?と思います。ポイントは、ヒルトンレインボータワー横のヨットハーバーから子供でも十分パドルアウトできるので、初心者、子供さんでもらくらく参加でくるとおもいます。インストラクターは日本語はまったくしゃべれないので、私たちがもっと英語ができたら会話もはずんで、もっと楽しかったでしょうね。
