All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I participated at 90 meters. It was very moving, and the sea was beautiful. Next time, I might want to go higher. I was told that for $30, I could get photos taken, but since all the participants were Japanese, we passed around a digital camera and took turns! However, there were five groups, so we had to wait about an hour, and most of the groups got seasick. I struggled too—I'd recommend taking medication even for those who usually don't get seasick.

90メートルで参加しました。とても感動で、海が綺麗でした。次はもっと高くてもいいかなー。30ドル払えば写真とってもらえると言われましたが、参加者が全員日本人だったのでデジカメを渡し、取り合いっこしました！ただ5組いたので、1時間くらい待ち時間があり、ほとんどの組が船酔いしてました/ _ ;私も辛かった〜普段酔わない方も薬飲むのをオススメします。

Well, there was water and there was a ski, so I guess technically it was waterskiing. The company was professional, the driver was nice and the equipment worked with one exception. But, I usually go waterskiing on calm water, in a straight line, at a certain speed. The boat had no speedometer or speed controller, and we could only go around in a continuous circle, which, in my opinion makes the ride basically unskiable. I figured there would be some wind, and I can't hold it against the company that there were, I should have known, wakeboarders and tubers everywhere. Watetski magazine listed it as one of 10 best places to grab a quick set, but they should have listed it as simply a place to get a quick set.

Friendly stafff.... everything was perfect.... no regrets

The meeting place is hard to find. If you're coming along the coast, you need to be careful or you might pass it by. Even if you arrive at 8:15 for the 8:15 meeting, the receptionist will ask you to wait, and you'll end up waiting until 8:30 when check-in starts. But all of that was okay because of the double rainbow I saw while walking there.

Surfing itself was a lot of fun. I knew about the photos from this review, but I was surprised when they suddenly asked me to pose without any prior notice. I signed up for a semi-private session, but it ended up being private, and I was able to catch many waves, which made me very satisfied.

集合場所がわかりにくい。海岸沿いを通ってくる方は
注意ぶかく見ないと通り過ぎます。
8:15集合で到着しても受付のお姉さんに待ってと言われ
結局受付開始の8:30まで待つことになる。
それもこれも歩いて向かってる時のダブルレインボーでまぁいいかと。

サーフィン自体はとても楽しかった。
写真のことはこの口コミみて知っていたけど急に何のはなしもなくポーズをしてと言われ
撮られるのでびっくりした。。
セミプライベートで申し込みしたが結果プライベートとなり、何本も立つことが出来て
大満足です。

The crew was friendly and it was a nice big boat with clean restrooms. The guys seemed like they love what they do so that helped it be a very nice trip. They caught a 140lb tuna. It was fun :) there was plenty of shade for my kids to nap :)

I was relieved that there was a shuttle from Waikiki, but no matter how long I waited, the trolley just wouldn't come (I waited for nearly 20 minutes)... In a panic, I thought I had to contact them in English, so I asked the hotel concierge to call for me. They said, "We are at the bus stop, but we can't see you, so we left." Apparently, they came to pick me up while I was away from the bus stop.

I was half resigned to the fact that I might not be able to participate, but they kindly sent a car to pick me up and changed me to the next departure. I am truly grateful for their kindness.

My friend has a fear of heights, but I somewhat forcefully made a reservation for this tour. When we went out to sea on the boat, put on the parachute, and took off from the boat, I was quite nervous at that moment. We climbed higher and higher. I couldn't stop trembling as I looked down, but I was surprised to see my friend, who is supposed to be afraid of heights, having so much fun and being so excited. After a while, I calmed down and was moved by the beauty of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sky.

It was very quiet up there without any wind, and it felt like I had become a bird. The blue horizon and sky were amazing! Although it cost a bit extra, I was glad I requested photo shooting. They quickly burned it onto a DVD and recorded videos, so I had a surprise enjoyment when I returned to Japan. They even captured the moment my feet touched the sea perfectly.

It's a pity I couldn't bring a waterproof camera up there. If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate in this company's tour. It was the best time, feeling like I had become a bird.

ワイキキから送迎があるので安心していたのですが、待てど暮せどトロリーが一向に来ない(２０分近く待ちました)・・・焦った挙句電話しても英語とにかく連絡をしなくてはと思いホテルのコンシェルジュにお願いして電話してもらったら「今バス停にいますが姿が見えないので発射しました」とのことバス停を離れてる間に迎えに来たらしいのです。
もう参加できないのかと半ばあきらめていたのですが、車で迎えに来ていただき、次の便に変更していただきました。
ほんとに親切にしていただきありがたいかぎりです。
私の友人は高所恐怖症なのですが、半ば強引にこのツアーを予約しました。
ボートで沖まで出てパラシュートを装着しボートからテイクオフする瞬間結構ドキドキしていました。
ぐんぐん上って行きます。私は足元を見てしまい震えが止まりませんでしたが、高所恐怖症のはずの友人がとても楽しそうにはしゃいでいるのにびっくり・・しばらくすると私も気持ちが落ち着き、空からのワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドの美しさに感動しました。
風もなく上空はとても静かでまるで鳥になったかのようでした。
青く広がる水平線と空が最高！
少し料金はかかりますが写真撮影はお願いしてよかったです。ＤＶＤにすぐ焼いてもらって動画もとってくれていたので日本に帰ってからサプライズな楽しみがありました。
足が海につかる瞬間もばっちり撮れてました。
防水のカメラがあれば上空にもって行けたのに残念でした。
また、ハワイに行ったら是非この会社のツアーに参加したいです。
鳥になった気分を味わえて最高な時間でした。

My husband and I did this together, and it was a lot of fun. It wasn't as scary as we were expecting but the views were still breathe taking. The Hawaiian Parasail crew really knows how to make the experience and the photos we purchased from them were lots of fun. We definitely recommend them.

We got the 300 foot package for our 8 year old daughter, and the 1000 foot for ourselves, on our Hawaiian vacation and she's still talking about it a month later. Hawaiian Parasail really knows how to make the experience plus the photos we purchased were lots of fun. Definitely recommend them.

I chose the highest altitude. I was able to float gently and enjoy a walk in the sky. Even though I'm not a big fan of heights, it felt nice. The boat was small, but perhaps because the time was short, I didn't get seasick. The shuttle service to and from the location was quite fast, which was a bit scary but refreshing. My Japanese was limited, but I was able to convey the important things. The boat mentioned that tips were included, so we didn't pay, but the participants from Europe and America were tipping, which left us a little confused about what to do.

１番高い高度を選びました。ふわっと浮き上がって空中散歩を楽しめました。
高いところはそんなに好きでない私でも気持ち良かったです。
船は小型でしたが時間が短いためか酔いませんでした。
行き帰りの送迎トロリーが速度ぶっ飛ばしだったので少し怖かったですが爽快でした。
日本語は片言程度でしたが大事なことは伝わりました。
チップは含まれていますと船に書いていたので、私たちは払いませんでしたが、欧米の参加者の方は払っていてどうすればいいのか少し迷いました。

At first, I was apprehensive about being on the boat... As someone who isn't good with thrill rides, I was worried about whether I could handle it. But once I got on...! I have never seen the streets of Hawaii from such a high vantage point! I was moved by the scenery that you can only see by doing this!! It was a bit scary being swayed by the wind (laughs), but I want to ride it again＾＾

最初はおそるおそる船に揺られ・・・絶叫系のアトラクションが苦手な私は乗れるかどうか不安になっていました。
それが乗ってみると・・・！
あんな高くからハワイの街を一望したことはありません！というかコレをしないと見られない景色に感動しました！！風に揺られて、多少怖かったですが(笑)
また乗りたいです＾＾

Both my husband and 10 year old daughter thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Although I struggled with motion-sickness (while waiting for our turn to go down), once I was underwater, what an amazing experience that was!! My 10-year old who had to stand (she is just little above 4 feet) didn't mind that at all. She really enjoyed the experience, and begged us to go back again. So we will do this again when we visit Oahu next time. Not far from the shore, but the nature was just magnificent. The way nature and animals peacefully coexist with humans just catalyzed our Hawaii experience, and this adventure was well worth the cost! The staff was also very professional, and knowledgeable. Only if they cautioned us about motion sickness earlier on ;-)

I made a reservation based on my husband's only hope of going trolling. There were various options, but I chose this one because it was cheaper compared to others and had good reviews.

After participating, my impression is that knowing some English would have made it even more enjoyable. The crew members didn't speak Japanese, so they explained everything in fast-paced English. Fortunately, there was a considerate foreign participant who helped explain things clearly later on.

We needed to prepare our own drinks and food. I only brought one drink and a cereal bar, so I wished I had brought more.

There were five participants on our boat. First, we got on the boat and used cards to determine the order. When a fish bites, we reel it in according to that order. We set off and headed about an hour out to sea. The boat rocked quite a bit, so taking motion sickness medication is definitely recommended. While heading out, we did some bait fishing and caught two fish that seemed to be around 40 centimeters long. I was second in line, so I caught the second fish.

For the third catch, we hooked a marlin that was about 150 centimeters long. However, that was the end of it. My husband was fourth in line and didn't catch anything.

I don't expect to catch a big fish, but I wish they could ensure that all participants could catch something at least during the bait fishing. Spending nearly a whole day of our precious honeymoon on something uncertain for 28,000 yen... whether it's worth it varies from person to person, but I somehow enjoyed it, so I guess it was okay.

主人のトローリングがしたいとの唯一希望により、予約しました。色々なところがありましたが、こちらを選んだのは、他と比べて値段が安かったことと、口コミの評価がよかったから。

参加してみての感想は、まず英語が多少出来た方が更に楽しめただろうということ。乗組員の方は日本語なんて出来ないから、普通に早口の英語で説明されます。同乗した方の中に気を使ってくれる外国人の方がおられたので、後で分かりやすく説明してくれたので助かりました。
飲み物食べ物は各自で準備が必要でした。飲み物１本とシリアルバーしか持って行ってなかったので、もっと持っていけばよかったなと思いました。

今回私達の船には5人の参加者がいました。まず船にのりトランプを使って順番を決めます。竿に当たりがきたらその順番で釣り上げていくため。
出発してまず船で1時間程度沖に出ます。結構な揺れ加減なので酔い止めを飲んだ方が絶対にいーです。沖に出ながらベイト釣り。40センチぐらいのハマチらしき魚を2匹釣りました。私は順番が2番目だったので2匹目の魚を釣りました。
３匹目に150センチぐらいのカジキが釣れました。でも、それで終了。旦那は4番目だった為、何も釣り上げられず(^^;

大物を釣らせてとは言わないけれど、せめてベイト釣りで参加者全員が釣り上げられるようにしてくれたら、もっといーのになと思いました。
貴重なハネムーンの１日をほぼ使って、釣れるかどうかわからないことに28000円…する価値があるのかどーかは人それぞれだと思いますが、私は何だかんだ楽しめたので、まぁよかったかな(>_<)

As someone who is not good at swimming, I was nervous until it started, but the instructor explained everything in Japanese, allowing me to have this first experience. It felt like a different world when fish came to eat the bait from my hand and beautiful fish swam right in front of me. Since I participated with my child, we were able to walk along the ocean floor together, which was very considerate. I am thrilled to have had such a wonderful experience.

泳ぎが苦手な私は始まるまでドキドキでしたが、インストラクターの方が日本語でも説明してくれて初体験する事が出来ました。海中で魚が手元の餌を食べに来てくれたり目の前をきれいな魚が群れているのは別世界。親子での参加でしたので、気を利かして三人で並んで海底散歩出来ました。良い体験できて感激です

Very fun activity plus it is pretty quick and easy to fit in to the schedule! Highly recommend the 800ft length, you get a fuller experience. We had a fun crew, they take pictures on a Nikon camera, but ours turned out dark because of the shadow when the sun was rising. Great couples activity, nice alone time. Highly recommend to bring a gopro or camera with a wrist strap.

Parasailing with the kids! At first, I was nervous, but once we took off, the blue sky, blue sea, and magnificent scenery were breathtaking. I want to experience it again if I get the chance!

子供達と、パラセーリング！
最初はドキドキ いざ飛んでみると、
青い空に青い海 そして壮大な景色
圧巻でした。
又機会があればもう一度体感したいね！

As expected from Hanauma Bay, where regulations are well established, the number of fish was incredible. I've snorkeled several times in the beautiful waters of Okinawa, but it doesn't compare. Hanauma Bay is full of colorful fish whose names I don't know, including the Yagara. Unfortunately, I didn't encounter any sea turtles, but it's definitely a place I want to visit again. I hope to go before I get too old. Since I'm not very good at English, I really appreciated the guidance in Japanese. It allowed me to focus on observing the fish with peace of mind.

さすが規制がきちっと整っているハナウマ湾なだけあってお魚の数がはんぱではなかった。
沖縄の海もきれいなので何度かシュノーケルをしましたが、比になりません。
ハナウマ湾は名前のわからないカラフルな魚・ヤガラなどなど、とにかく多いです。残念ながらウミガメに遭遇することはできませんでしたが、是非また行ってみたい場所です。そんなに歳とらないうちに行きたいな。
英語があまり得意ではない私は、日本語での案内がとても良かったです。安心して魚観察に夢中になれました。

Our family enjoyed the entire crew and had a fantastic time.

We loved snorkeling at Hanauma Bay! We could see fish all around us in waist-deep water, and even though it was busy, there was plenty of space to have our own experience. The food in the snack bar was good (although a little pricey), and I liked that we could rent life jackets and stoppers for our snorkels from the company once we got there. Just make sure you bring extra money for the entrance fee, tram (it saves a lot of uphill walking), equipment rental, and food. You can also bring food on the beach, so pack some snacks and water to save some cash.

Our snorkel guide Dan was amazing. I can't swim and he was able to take me out to the deep! He was very patient. My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed his tour of hanauma bay, it was definitely a highlight of our trip and even fulfilled one of my bucket list things to do. I will never forget the experience and recommend it highly. Also a huge bonus is Dan takes underwater pics of you snorkeling and post them up on his Facebook - free of charge!

Great experience for all! Even better customer service!!! 10 year olds loved it!!!

It was my first time parasailing, and it was super fun! We went on a small boat, so my partner got a bit seasick, but once we took off, it seemed like we were flying. While floating in the air, it felt like a dream, a really strange sensation. The local tour guides were all English speakers, but I could understand them through the nuances, which was great. They explained in English at the start that for $30, they would take photos with a DSLR, and for $40, they would shoot a video, so I requested the photos. Since no one else in my group requested them, I was really happy they took a lot of pictures (about 50!). They even included a bonus video of the splash when we hit the water, which I thought was a nice service!

初パラセイリングでしたが超たのしかったです！小型の船でいくので、相方が船酔いしていましたが飛んだらぶっ飛んだみたいです。上空で浮いているあいだは夢の中みたいな不思議な感覚でした。。　現地ツアーガイドさんはみんな英語でしたが、ニュアンスでわかるかんじだったのでよかったです。３０ドルで一眼レフでの写真４０ドルで動画の撮影を行ってもらえると出発時に英語で説明があったので、写真を頼みました。わたしが参加した回は他に誰も頼んでいなかったせいか、たくさん写真をとってくれてうれしかったです。(５０枚くらい)　海面にﾎﾞｼｬﾝするときの動画もオマケで入っていてサービスいいな～とおもいましたw

I feel one of the best things you can do in Waikiki. My teenagers loved it.

I participated in a guided tour in 2013, and the guide (Mark) was kind and fun, which made it really great. So in 2014, I joined without a guide for a more自由な感じ. The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and it made me feel like I wanted to live nearby.

2013年にガイド付きツアーに参加してガイドさん（マーク）も親切で楽しく、凄く良かったので、2014年はガイドなしで自由な感じで参加しました。とんでもなく海が綺麗で近くに住みたい気分になりました。

Dan and his wife were great! We had two cars because we were a party of 7. Dan was my driver and he was very good at giving us a mini tour as we were driving to Haunama Bay. Once we arrived, we didn't have to stand in line at all. We went into a mini theater to watch a 9 min video orientation. Then we were off. We went down to Hanauma Bay via a trolly. He and his wife explained how to use our gear and made sure it was all on properly. We all had a great time. This was definitely a fun activity to do as a family. The underwater views were amazing. If you don't have a waterproof camera, its fine. Dan takes a bunch of pictures and uploads them on to his website/facebook page and gives you the link, so you can view them. Don't worry if you don't know how to swim, we had a couple people in our party who didn't know how to and they were just fine. Dan, thank you. We will definitely choose you again! :) -Mahalo!

During our time there, the instructor mentioned that the waves were unusually high, to the point of causing a wry smile, which made me really anxious about safety. However, the instructor provided excellent support by pulling the board to the surfing point so that we wouldn't drift away, making it easy for beginners like us to ride the waves. My fear quickly disappeared, and I found surfing to be easy and enjoyable!

私達のとき、インストラクターが苦笑するくらいの珍しく高い波だとのことで、本当に安全かどうか不安でした。
しかし、インストラクターの方が離れないようにボードをサーフィンポイントまで引っ張ってくれ、手厚いサポートをしていただけたので初心者でも簡単に波乗りできました。
すぐに恐怖は無くなりましたし、サーフィンも簡単にできて楽しかったです！

Best part of our vacation. Tony was our guide and he was great! Drive yourself so after the tour you can take advantage of the bikes and snorkel gear.
Thanks for s great time!

It was my first time parasailing. The activity was amazing, but I had the local staff take photos for an additional $30, and the quality was just okay. It's a shame.

初めてのパラセイルでした。
アクティビティは最高でしたが、現地のスタッフにオプション(30ドル)で写真を撮ってもらいましたが、できばえはもうひとつでした。
残念です。

There is a pickup service from Waikiki that will take you to your hotel or the nearest hotel! However, since other tour buses also stop at the pickup location, I think it would be reassuring to check the appearance of the shuttle bus on the website in advance.

Also, the boat used for parasailing is small and can be quite bumpy. I was fine, but some people in the same group, a parent and child, looked exhausted, so I think it's a good idea for those who are not confident to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

As for the parasailing itself, I chose the height of 150 meters. At first, I was anxious, but once I was flying, I didn't feel scared, probably because the ocean was below me. My wife and I talked about how beautiful the blue sky and the streets of Waikiki were, and we had fun with the crew as they playfully shook the ropes (just a little mischief), and before we knew it, it was over.

The flying time is about 10 minutes, which is short, but since I did it when I was getting bored with sea and mountain activities in Hawaii, I really enjoyed it.

One disappointing moment was when we disembarked after the activity. I was excited from flying in the sky and asked the crew if we could take a photo together, but they responded with a request for a tip, which quickly brought me back down to earth. I couldn't help but think about the cultural difference and why they would ask for that at that moment.

ワイキキから送迎があり、宿泊ホテルか最寄りのホテルまで来てくれます！
但し、送迎場所には他のツアーのバスなども止まっている為、事前にホームページより送迎バスの外見を調べておくと安心だと思います。

また、パラセイリングを行う船は小型で揺れが大きく、私は大丈夫だったのですが、同じグループの方は親子でぐったりしていたので、自信のない方は酔い止めを飲んで置くと良いと思います。

パラセイリング自体は高さ150mを選択し、最初は不安でしたが、飛んでみると下が海のお陰なのか恐怖は感じず、嫁と空の青さやワイキキの街並みが綺麗だねぇと話したり、クルーの人にロープを揺らされて盛り上がったり(⬅︎イタズラ)してるとあっという間に終わってしまいました。

飛んでる時間は10分程度と短いですが、ハワイで海や山のアクティビティに飽きて来た時に行ったので、凄く楽しめました。

残念だったのは、アクティビティ後に下船した際、空を飛んでテンションが上がっており、クルーに一緒に写真撮りましょうと声をかけた所、チップと返答され一気に醒めてしまった事で、文化の違いとはいえこのタイミングで要求するかと思ってしまいました。

Kailua Beach and Lanikai Beach are beautiful, calm, and absolutely amazing! The sand is pure white, and the sea is a stunning cobalt blue, almost glowing.

Having experience kayaking in Kauai and Okinawa, my husband and I participated without a guide. It was so much fun and liberating! We enjoyed ourselves at our own pace, doing what we wanted, just the two of us.

What’s interesting about kayaking is that it’s easy to paddle and moves quickly, plus your viewpoint is close to the water’s surface. It feels like you’re one with the ocean, allowing you to enjoy the scenery fully.

We kayaked from Kailua Beach to Flat Island, then to Lanikai Beach, and back to Kailua Beach. Along the way, we took our time snorkeling at Lanikai Beach. There are corals scattered around, the waves are gentle, and we saw various fish. The sand at these beaches is so white and soft, it feels wonderful.

The recommended pizza for lunch was incredibly delicious! On the way back, we declined the shuttle and leisurely enjoyed sightseeing in Kailua. The bus that runs around the island is only $2.50, so if you want to enjoy Kailua town a bit longer, extending your stay is a great idea.

Carrying the kayak to the water is a bit challenging, but it’s a short distance, and I appreciate the American mindset of doing things for yourself and enjoying freely with personal responsibility.

The staff were all energetic, friendly, and pleasant. Thank you very much! If I go to Oahu again, I definitely want to kayak here!

カイルアビーチとラニカイビーチ、美しくて穏やかで最高ですね！
砂は真っ白海は発光しているかのようなコバルトブルー。
カウアイ島と沖縄でカヤック経験があるので、夫と二人、ガイドなしで参加しました。自由でとっても楽しかった！自分達のペースで、やりたいことを、自分達だけで好きなように楽しめました。

カヤックの面白いところは漕ぐのが簡単でよく進むし、目線が海面に近いこと。
まるで海と一体になったような感覚で景色を楽しむことが出来ます。

私たちはカヤックでカイルアビーチ→フラットアイランド→ラニカイビーチ→カイルアビーチと移動しました。途中ラニカイビーチでは、ゆっくりシュノーケリングを楽しみました。
珊瑚が転々とあり、波も穏やかで、いろんな魚を見られます。
この辺りのビーチは砂が真っ白でサラサラで気持ちいいです。

ランチのオススメのピザがとっても美味しかったです！
帰りは送迎を辞退し、のんびりカイルア観光を楽しみました。
島を走るTHE BUSも＄2.5と安いので、もう少しカイルアの町を楽しみたいと思った方は滞在時間を延ばすのも良いですね。

カヤックを海まで運ぶのは少し大変ですが、短い距離ですし、自分のことを自分でやって、自己責任で自由に楽しむ考え方が、なんともアメリカらしくて私は好きです。

スタッフは、皆さん元気で親切で気持ちが良い方たちでした。
ありがとうございました！
オアフにいったらまた必ずこちらでカヤックしたいです！

I wanted to try parasailing as a memory with my friends in Hawaii, so I gave it a shot!!! Even at 120 meters, it was surprisingly high, and it felt like we were only supported by this rope?! While we were screaming, it ended in no time. I recommend getting wet at the end, but it can be cold while waiting for others to finish. Also, the boat sways quite a bit, so make sure not to forget your motion sickness medication!!

お友達とのハワイの思い出にパラセーリングをやってみたいということで挑戦してみました！！！
120メートルでもびっくりするくらい高く、支えるのもこのヒモだけ？！という感じでした！！きゃーきゃー言ってる間にあっという間に終わってしまいます。最後水濡れた方がオススメですが他の人がしてる間寒いです。
後ボートが結構揺れるので酔い止めは絶対に忘れないようにして下さい！！
