All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

From the hotel pickup to the boat, Japanese was hardly understood, but the staff spoke broken Japanese regarding safety. Not being able to communicate in Japanese is part of the fun of traveling, and it was really great. I think it was also a stimulating experience for my middle school children. My 13-year-old daughter was scared at first, but it seems she enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

ホテルピックアップから船上まで、日本語は殆んど通じなかったけど、
安全に関する所だけは、スタッフがカタコトの日本語で話してくれました。
日本語が通じないのも、旅の楽しみだし、とっても良かったです。
中学生の子供達にも刺激になったと思います。
１３歳の娘も、始めは怖がっていたけど、景色もキレイで楽しめた様です。

We experienced canoe surfing as a family of four. There are floatation devices attached like sidebars, making it safe for small children and the elderly. Since it's in Waikiki, it's convenient and refreshing, but the waves are small, so you won't get much thrill. After riding the waves twice, it's over, so it really ends in the blink of an eye. A photographer captures moments while surfing, but they didn't tell us where the photographer was, so we couldn't pose facing them. Therefore, the experience photos turned out to be a bit disappointing.

家族４名でカヌーサーフィンを体験しました。転覆防止の浮きのようなものがサイドバーのように付いているので小さい子供やお年寄りでも安全です。ワイキキなのでお手軽で、気分爽快ですが、波が小さいのでスリルは味わえません。二度、波に乗ると終了なので、本当にあっという間に終わります。カメラマンが波乗り中の様子を撮影してくれるのですが、どこにカメラマンがいるのか教えてくれなかったので、そちらを向いてポーズをとることが出来ませんでした。なので、せっかくの体験写真がイマイチだったのが非常に残念です。

I experienced this with my 5-year-old son. My son, who loves Ultraman, was thrilled to be able to fly like Ultraman. He was a bit scared just before, but the moment we took off into the sky, he smiled.
We also received photos on an SD card, and although it was $30, they turned out great, and we were very satisfied.

I would like to experience this again.

５歳の息子と体験しました。ウルトラマン好きの息子は、ウルトラマンのように空を翔べると大喜び。直前は少し怖がったけど、空へ舞い上がったとたん、笑顔になりました。
写真もSDカードでもらえて、30ドルだったけど、よくとれていて、大満足です。

また体験したいです。

I participated in parasailing at 90 meters with my daughter and husband. I was a bit scared and hesitated until the end, but my daughter strongly wanted to do it, and since it was our special trip to Hawaii, I decided to join.

As soon as we set sail on the boat, we put on life jackets and equipment, and before I knew it, we were up in the air since we were the first ones to go. It was exhilarating, and the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was amazing.

At the end, we had the usual splashdown. We barely skimmed the surface of the water, but the technique of calculating the wind and boat speed to get just a little wet was impressive, just as I had heard about their years of accident-free operation.

By the way, I kept my contact lenses in, and it was no problem at all. Also, our driver Yano was incredibly funny. We had a great time with his jokes (in English) on the shuttle bus. Thank you, Yano, for the fun memories! If you get Yano as your driver, consider yourself lucky.

Next time, I definitely want to challenge the 150 meters. I would love to use this tour again then.

娘と夫婦３人でパラセイリングの９０ｍに参加しました。少し怖かったので最後まで迷っていましたが娘の強い希望とせっかくのハワイ旅行なので参加しました。
ボートで出航するとすぐにライフジャケットと器具を装着し、いきなりトップバッターだったので、ドキドキする間もなく気が付いたら海の上でした。
爽やかな風の中、ワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッドを海上から見るのは最高でした。
最後はお決まりの尻ポチャ。
海面スレスレで水しぶきを上げる程度ですが、風やボートの速度とかを計算して、少し濡れる程度にする技術は、さすがに長年無事故と聞いていた通りのものでした。
因みにコンタクトレンズをはめたままでしたが全然問題なかったです。
それと送迎のヤノさんは最高に面白かったです。
お迎えのバスの中からヤノさんのギャグの連発（英語ですが…）で盛り上がりました。
ヤノさん、楽しい思い出ありがとう！送迎がヤノさんになった方は「当たり」ですよ。
次回は是非１５０ｍにチャレンジしたいですね。その時もまたこのツアーを利用したいと思います。

It was my 7-year-old daughter and my wife who participated, and they said it was one of the best experiences among the optional tours, and their top memory in Hawaii. It seems they chose the sky over the sea.

7さいの娘と妻の参加でしたが、いくつか体験したオプショナルツアーのなかで、そしてハワイでの一番の思い出だったとのことです。海より空を選んだようです。

Nice experience, but really too short. Probably because we were too many on the boat, with too little time for the turn. We stayed in the air for only 5 minutes. But anyway it was exciting and they are very professional. And they take beautiful pictures, in case someone would like to buy (I did).

On my first trip to Hawaii, I signed up for parasailing at my husband's suggestion to create unforgettable memories by the sea. As someone with a fear of heights, I was quite nervous, but as we gently ascended and stabilized in the air, my fear quickly faded, and I was able to enjoy the aerial stroll! The view of Waikiki's ocean and cityscape was amazing, and I experienced the thrill of watching birds fly below me. The guide's skills were excellent, and I was truly glad to participate.

I shared the ride with one other person, and we were able to take pictures of each other. There was someone with a video camera, and I thought it was great to capture such a precious experience. If you ask the guide, they can take professional photos for $30.

The boat swayed more than I expected, and since others were on board while we were parasailing, I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication. Thank you for a wonderful time and unforgettable memories!☆

初めてのハワイ、思い出に残る海遊びをしようと旦那さんの提案でパラセイルに申し込みました。
高所恐怖症の私はかなり緊張していましたが、フワリとゆっくりあがり空中でも安定しているためすぐに怖さはなくなり、空中散歩を楽しむことができました！ワイキキの海や街並みを一望でき景色は最高、鳥が自分より下を飛ぶという興奮する時間を過ごすことができました。
ガイドさんのテクニックも素晴らしく、本当に参加してよかったです。
１1人で同乗したのですが、お互い写真を取り合いっこもできました。ビデオを持ってきている方がいて、貴重な体験を記録できるのでいいなと思いました。ガイドさんに依頼すると３０ドルで本格的な写真を撮影・販売してくれます。
船は意外と揺れ、他の人がパラセイル中も乗っているので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲むのがオススメです。
素晴らしい時間と思い出をありがとうございました☆

Good deal for all the transportation they provide. Photos are a bit expensive but at least they give you the digital copies and not print outs. It's breathtaking and beautiul up there. Not as scary as I'd thought. would try again next time. Bring your cameras up there. You'll never get a chance to take your own photos at 300' altitude.

My daughter told me about this tour when I was planing my trip to Hawaii. I booked it through hawaiiactivities.com website and I had no problems. They even called me one day prior to my activity to remind me of my pick up time and location.

The shuttle was there on time to pick me up and during the drive and took us the check-in location. After the safety briefing we started the tour.
The crew was really nice and informative. They are very professional and committed to provided us a unforgettable experience.

While waiting for our turn to go, we spend some time snorkeling and relaxing on the boat, Maunalua Bay is a paradise.

Once underwater you have a guide taking care of you during the whole time. It's so wonderful to see all the marine life coming right next to you, I saw dozens of colorful fishes and a lot of turtles.

The underwater scooter was for sure one of the coolest thing I have ever done.

This was my second time parasailing, and I couldn't forget the excitement from my first experience, so this time I went even higher, up to 300 meters, the highest available. The view of the beautiful ocean and mountains was amazing, and it felt like we were up there for more than 10 minutes. The staff were very kind; I had read reviews saying they asked for tips even though it was included, but I wasn't asked for a tip at all, and they only asked if I wanted to take pictures. On the way back, instead of being dropped off at the hotel, I was taken to Ala Moana Shopping Center, which saved time and allowed for a smooth transition to my next destination.

パラセイルは二度目で一度目の感動が忘れられず今回は更に高く一番高い300Mに乗りました。
一面の綺麗な海と山の景色は最高で時間も10分以上あったように感じられました。
スタッフの方も優しくてよくチップも込みなのに要求されたと言う口コミを見ますが全くチップなんて言われなかったし写真は撮るか聞かれた位でした。
帰りもホテルではなくアラモアナショッピングセンターで降ろしていただき時間にロスがなく次の目的地までスムーズに行けました。

While riding on the boat and being entertained by the fun captain, my turn came around in no time.

As I soared high into the sky with my child, there awaited a quiet and beautiful world in the sky that I had never expected.

Although it was a short time, I thoroughly enjoyed it over the waters of Honolulu.

Thank you very much.

船に乗り、楽しいキャプテンに盛り上げられているうちにあっという間に自分の順番が。

子供と一緒に天高く舞い上がるとそこには、全く予想をしていなかった静かで美しい空の世界が
待っていました。

時間にすれば短いものでしたが、ホノルルの海の上、充分堪能できました。

ありがとうございました。

I was very upset that the pictures did not come out. I paid for the experience but also was hoping to have those photos for my fiancé and I. Disappointing...

This was the most fun I've ever had paragliding! The height of 120 meters is appealing, but the long time spent in the air allowed me to enjoy the scenery slowly. The parachute is colorful and beautiful, so taking photos and videos turns out really nice. Even though it's early in the morning, you can return to the hotel quickly and still have plenty of time to play afterward. Also, if you ask the staff, they will take photos for you. They put about 30 photos on an SD card for $30. I realized this after I finished, so I didn't have any photos, but if you ask, you can get some wonderful pictures. It's so much fun, so definitely give it a try!

今まで経験したパラセイリングの中でも一番楽しかったです(*^^*)
120メートルという高さも魅力ですが、空中での時間が長くて、ゆっくり景色を楽しめました(^-^)v
パラシュートがカラフルでキレイなので写真やビデオに残すと、とってもキレイですよ(*^^*)
早朝だけどホテルに戻る時間も早いので、その後もタップリ遊べますよ(*^^*)
それと、スタッフに頼むと写真を撮ってくれます(*^^*)
30枚前後の写真をSDカードに入れてくれて30ドルです(*^^*)
私は終わってから気づいたので写真はなかったですが頼むと素敵な写真も手に入りますよ(*^^*)
とにかく楽しいので是非チャレンジしてくださいね＼(^o^)／

I was nervous about this being our first experience, including for the kids, but all the staff were warm and made us feel safe to participate. I was particularly impressed by the girl at the reception, who had a lovely smile and was very cute.

子供達含め初めての体験に緊張しましたが、
スタッフ全ての方が暖かく、
安心して参加できました。
特に受付の女の子が、素敵な笑顔で可愛らしかったのが印象的でした。

HANDS DOWN THE BEST OF ALL OF THE EXCURSIONS WE DID. THE TOUR GUIDES WERE AWESOME AND FUN. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE AND WOULD DO IT AGAIN.

I have never been sailing, so Hawaii was a terrific place to start. The team was great on this barefoot cruise, we had storage for our sandals and bags, and we enjoyed fresh-made maitais. It was fun watching the experienced crew set the sails, we got quite good speed and a fabulous breeze, and the views were amazing.

Our parasail was amazing!! Highly recommend these guys, friendly, professional, and totally capable. Would recommend to others to experience this.

The crew was very kind and fun to be on the boat with. The captain are the ride a ride of our lives! Would go back to them any day

We had an awesome time. Our first for both parasailing and jet skiing. We loved every minute of it. As soon as we checked in, my husband I got the feel of excitement from then on and up until we got back into our car. We loved that we were able to take home the memories we had from that day. If we could do it all over again, we would, maybe not the falling off the jet ski part, well maybe the falling off too because it was our first time. Hardest part of falling down was trying to get back up coz I'm a big girl but thanks to my husband he helped me up and we just kept on riding.

I challenged the 120-meter ride with a discount in the morning. It was higher than I expected! It was good up to a point, but I got really scared (sweat). However, the sea was beautiful and the view was amazing. I was lucky to see a sea turtle. Please be careful as the boat can be rocky.

割引の効く朝一の120メートルに挑戦しました。
思ったより高い！
途中までは良かったのですが、怖くて怖くて(汗
でも海はｷﾚｲで見晴らしも最高でした。
海亀も見れてラッキーでした。
ボートは揺れるので注意してください。

We had a great time aboard the Sea Hawk, and the Captain and First Mater were very friendly. I would have given this adventure 5 stars, but we did not catch one fish. We had one strike about mid-way thru our half day charter, but that was it.

The concept is great. Transport is reliable, clean and on time. The tour guide, Harry, was entertaining and very friendly. The only thing we would suggest is that surfing be offered as one of the activities - it is after all what the area is best known for!
I would recommend this for anyone who wants an active day.

SO glad we did this! It was exhilarating, a bit scary but down right fun! Can have a completely dry experience but we wanted to be dunked into the beautiful blue ocean and it was not as cold as I thought it would be! Very professional staff, felt completely safe and having it all photographed and being able to purchase the photo card was excellent. For something a little "out there" - go parasailing!

I participated with my child, and thanks to the careful instruction, both of us were able to ride the waves in our dream destination, Hawaii. By the end, we were exhausted and a bit wobbly, but we had a blast until we were both completely sun-kissed. It was so much fun!!

子どもと一緒に参加したのですが、丁寧な指導のお陰で２人ともあこがれのハワイの波にのることができました。
最後の方は体力が続かず、フラフラでしたが、２人とも真っ黒になるまではしゃぎました。
とても楽しかったです！！

The crew was very personable and really knew what they were doing. The driver was attentive to his duties and paid attention to driving the boat at all times. That was definitely a good thing. The crew member that was hooking us up was joking with us and really seemed to be enjoying himself. Some of our bunch was apprehensive and he really put them at ease. The parasailing experience itself was amazing. Very quiet and tranquil.I would say it ranked in the top two excursions we went on. Very pleased with the experience.

Our family of 6 adults from Brisbane Australia loved this whole day tour. Our driver / tour guide Sam picked us up from our hotel on time, & drove safely. He was so friendly and knowledgeable about Oahu, and explained all the sights on the way to the North Shore - he make the entire trip an awesome experience. He gave us a drive by & quick stop at each of the available activities before we chose them, then dropped us all to our chosen areas. 3 of us chose bike riding along the famous surfing beaches where we could stop and have beach time as we liked; the other 3 the walk through the beautiful gardens to the waterfall. Though a lovely walk, it is quite a long one, for anyone older. If you want a swim at the Falls, take cash for a compulsory life jacket hire! From there we walked back to Waimea Bay beach for a swim until our bus pick up. Our next activity for 4 of us was SUP (stand up paddle boarding) and 2 did kayaking. We LOVED this time on the water and would have liked to have a bit less time on the morning activities and more time for the afternoon ones! After, we walked through the town and sampled the Shaved Ice and some delicious lunch before boarding the bus completely satisfied with our day. We did several different tours while in Waikiki, and this was BY FAR the very best for the sightseeing, and activities on offer, plus the freedom to have our own time was fantastic. We were REALLY impressed with Sam the driver & happy to tip him well for his outstanding service - he contributed in a big way to making it the best tour during our time in Hawaii. Thank you Sam! I would highly recommend this tour, well worth it and we have great memories of our day.

At first, I had a scary image of it, but honestly, I think it could have been a bit more expensive. My friend, who has a fear of heights, was scared, but if not for that, we had the opportunity to enjoy the view!

初めは怖いというイメージがありましたが、
正直もう少し高くても良かったと思っています。
高所恐怖症の友人は怖がっていましたが、
そうでなければ、景色を見る余裕もありました！

We used this for our honeymoon. The weather was clear and perfect for parasailing.

Besides us, there were a group of six students and a couple, and we all boarded the boat together. I wanted to ask for some photos, but I didn't know where to request them, so unfortunately, I couldn't make a request. However, I handed my phone to one of the students who was with us to take some pictures. I put another phone in a waterproof bag and hung it around my neck to take photos from the sky.

This time we went up to 120, and it felt amazing with the blue sea and sky spread out in front of us; I was so excited! It felt like we were floating for quite a long time. I kept saying how amazing it was. It wasn't scary at all, so next time I want to challenge the highest one!

ハネムーンで利用しました。
天気も快晴で絶好のパラセイリング日和でした。

私たちの他に、学生６人組と、カップルがおり、一緒にボートに乗って出発しました。
写真をお願いしたかったのですが、どこでお願いすればいいのかわからず、結局申込みできなかったのが残念です。
しかし、一緒に乗っていた学生の方々に携帯を渡しとってもらいました。
もう一つのケータイは防水の袋に入れて首からぶらさげて上空から撮影しました。

今回は１２０にしましたが、とっても気持ちよくて目の前には青い海と青空が広がり大興奮でした！結構長い時間浮いていた気がします。
ずっとすごーいといっていました。
全然怖くなかったので、一番高いやつに次回は挑戦したです！

The ocean was beautiful, and swimming with the sea turtles was incredibly fun! Kyōhei was surprisingly easy to talk to and explained things clearly, which made it really enjoyable! I thought it would be great to go to the same place next time I visit Hawaii! Thank you!

海は綺麗で、ウミガメと一緒に泳いで、サイコーに楽しかったです！
恭平くんが見た目のわりに（笑）フランクでしゃべりやすくて説明も分かりやすくて、本当に楽しかった！
次ハワイ行くときもおなじとこがいいなーって思いました！ありがとう！

I participated with my daughter. I had read in the experiences that people get seasick, so I took some motion sickness medication and was able to enjoy the trip without feeling sick. (It does sway quite a bit, and there are times when waves splash on you.)

I think there were a lot of people participating. (The boat seats were full.) We were probably the only ones who went to the highest point at 150 meters, but even the foreigners said they should have gone higher. I requested photos (all participants did), and I’m glad I did. I didn’t wear a swimsuit, so I declined the water splash, but I regret that. Next time I participate, I will definitely go for the water splash.

It was really great.

娘と二人で参加しました。体験談で船酔い注意とあったので酔い止めを服用して行ったので酔わずに楽しめました。（かなり揺れるし、波がかかる事もあります。）
私が参加したのは多分大人数でした。（船の座席が満杯）高さ150メートルとこの船で一番高かったのは私たちだけでしたが、外人さんももっと高いのにすれば良かったと言ってたくらいです。写真を頼みましたが（この参加者は全員頼んでました。）私は頼んで良かったです。水着を着ていなかったので水ポチャは断りましたが、後悔しています。次回参加する時は思い切り水ポチャを頼みます。

本当に良かったです。
