All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

The waves were quite challenging, but the scenery was beautiful, and I enjoyed it. The timing was just right. I was very satisfied with the staff's service, and it was fun.

The lunch pizza was as delicious as the reviews said. Be sure not to choose the loco moco!

波はそこそこあったので大変でしたが、景色がよく、楽しめました。
時間もちょうど良かったです。
スタッフの対応等はとても満足で楽しかったです。

ランチのピザは評判通りのおいしさでした。
くれぐれもロコモコを選ばないように！　

I had a great time during the first session. They spoke a little Japanese and understood me, which was nice. I definitely want to do it again! ♪

1回目で立てたしすごく楽しかったです
日本語も片言で話してくれるし理解してくれるのでよかったです
是非またやりたいです♪

This parasail experience was great from start to finish. They picked us up at our hotel promptly, our driver was very fun and knowledgeable about the island. Parasailing gives you just the right amount of adrenaline and once you're up there it's so relaxing. I got to go twice! And next time I visit Hawaii I will definitely do it again! Once we were done we got our pictures and crossed the street to the beach :)

There is a pickup service from Waikiki Beach.
After checking in, you board the boat, listen to the instructor's explanation, and put on your life jacket.
As you rise quickly, the ocean spreads out below you!
If you don't want to get wet, you can return without getting wet.
It was so much fun and went by in no time!

ワイキキビーチから送迎あり。
受付をして船に乗り、インストラクターの説明を聞き、ライフジャケット着用。
一気に上がると下は一面海！
水に濡れたくないといえば、濡れずに戻ってこられます。
すごく楽しくてあっという間でした！

Stand-up paddleboarding was more difficult than I expected due to the strong winds. There were three groups with two participants each, but we only had two paddleboards for six people, so I think it would have been better to have one more board.
The underwater scooter was easy to use, and I enjoyed the sea enough. I was very satisfied to see a turtle swimming nearby, hold a starfish, and have many fish come close to me.
When we got back on the boat, many people were exhausted from the cold and seasickness, and although I wanted to go snorkeling, I gave up. If there had been less wind, I think we could have enjoyed it more, but the weather is beyond our control.
I was anxious because I don't understand English, but Judy, who was a fourth-generation guide, was very friendly and kindly explained everything, so there were no issues at all.

スタンドアップパドルは、風が強すぎて、乗るのが思っていたより、難しかったです。2人参加で3組だったのですが、6人に2台のパドルだったので、もう一台あると良いと思いました。
水中スクーターは、耳抜きもすぐに出来て
十分海の中を楽しめました。カメが近くに泳いでいたり、ヒトデを持たせてくれたり、目の前にたくさんの魚が近寄って来てくれて、とても満足です。
船に上がると、皆んな寒さと船酔いで、ぐったりしている人が多く、シュノーケルもしたかったのですが、諦めました。
風が少なければ、もっと楽しめたのでしょうが、天候は仕方ないですね。
英語が分からないので不安でしたが、4世のジュディ？さんがとてもフレンドリーで親切に説明してくれたので、何の不都合もありませんでした。

I have a slight fear of heights, and I was quite nervous before getting on. However, the cool instructor explained everything carefully, which made me feel a bit more at ease. The explanation was in English, but there were parts that were easy to understand in Japanese.

The day of the experience was relatively windy, but the boat didn't sway much. After putting on the gear, I scooted to the back of the boat, and we were all set! Once we lifted off, it surprisingly wasn't that scary, and I was able to enjoy the view!

While we were up there, I felt like a bird♪ Since we went up in pairs, it’s perfect for couples! You can see the high-rise buildings of the hotel district all the way to Diamond Head, and the blue horizon and sky were absolutely beautiful!

At times, there was a little trick where my feet would touch the sea, but it actually felt nice♪ If you don’t want to get wet, just let them know before you go up, and they’ll make sure you stay dry from start to finish.

I didn’t have the courage to let go, so I left my waterproof camera on the boat, but I regretted a bit that I could have taken pictures when we were up there... (laughs) The instructor took photos with a zoom lens, and there’s also an option to have a video taken. Both require an additional fee to receive the data. While waiting on the boat, I wasn’t bored at all; I watched the experiences of other participants and enjoyed the scenery.

Overall, it was a very satisfying program!

プチ高所恐怖症で、乗る前は結構ドキドキしていました。ですが、インストラクターのかっこいいお兄さんに丁寧に説明してもらい、ちょっと安心。説明は英語でしたが、ところどころ日本語で分かりやすかったです。
体験した日は比較的、風が強い日でしたが、ボートはそんなに揺れませんでした。装備を装着し、ボートの後ろの方へ座りながらずりずり移動し、準備万端！ふわっと上がって、上がってしまったら意外に怖くなく、景色も楽しめました！
上がっている間は鳥になった気分♪ペアで上がるのでカップルにはぴったりですよ！ホテルの高い建物が並ぶビル群からダイヤモンドヘッドまでが一望でき、青く広がる水平線と空がとてもキレイでした！
時々、足が海につかるイタズラ?をされましたが、それすら気持ちいい♪濡れたくない人は上がる前に言っておけば、始めから最後まで濡れないようにしてくれます。
私は手を離す勇気がなかったので、防水のカメラをボートにおいて体験しましたが、上がった時に頑張れば写真撮れたな···とちょっと後悔(笑)インストラクターのお兄さんが望遠で写真撮ってくれますし、さらにオプションでビデオも撮れます。どちらもデータをもらうのに別料金が必要ですが。ボートで待っている間も、他の参加者の体験見たり、景色を眺めたりで退屈しませんでした。
こんな感じで、体験して大満足のプログラムでした！

The shuttle drivers, both to and from Hanauma Bay, were extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the island. They shared interesting facts along the way and made the drive an experience in itself. Not to mention, they were very prompt and the price was unbeatable! Would definitely recommend this shuttle if you're staying in Waikiki and would like to visit a beautiful beach with amazing snorkeling!

This is amazing experience, Staff was so nice and fun.
Recommendable for everyone
I would love to do this one again!!

We had a great time Dan and his wife were great to go snorkeling with. It's the only way to go!! Loved it

There were about 20 passengers on board, but only three of us were Japanese. My mother, who is 85 years old, enjoyed it. We were able to see a whale for a little while. As we went further out, the emerald green water turned into deep blue! My mother was also moved by it. You really get to feel Hawaii more than on the night cruise. The price is also much cheaper. It's about an hour and a half, so it's not too long, just the right amount of time. Drinking beer on the yacht and feeling the Hawaiian breeze is the best!

２０人位の乗船客でしたが、日本人は我々３人。母は８５歳ですが、楽しんでいました。クジラもちょっとだけ見れました。沖に行くと、エメラルドグリーンの色がディープブルーに！母も感動してくれました。夜のクルージングより、ハワイを実感します。料金もはるかに安いです。１時間半くらいですので長すぎなく、ちょうどいい時間です。ヨットの上で、ビールを飲んでハワイの風を感じる、最高！

Parasailing was my first experience, and since I don't understand English, I was quite worried, but I'm glad I tried it!! I was concerned about getting injured and what would happen if I couldn't understand the instructions, but they explained everything with gestures, and there weren't any difficult steps to follow. The anxiety was only before taking off, but once I was in the air, I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the ocean. While flying, it just felt amazing.

The photo service was $30, and they took over 100 pictures. I brought a waterproof digital camera (hanging around my neck), so I was able to take photos from the sky (the flight was stable enough), but I couldn't take pictures of myself, so it was great to have them taken for wonderful memories.

There was a bit of trouble with the pickup car being late, but the hotel front desk contacted them, and everything worked out. It was just Hawaiian time, I guess (laughs).

パラセイリングは初めて、英語もわからないので、かなり悩みましたが
やってみて良かった！！
怪我しないかな…、
説明が聞き取れなかったらどうしよう…と心配していましたが
身振り手振りで説明してもらえるし、そもそも難しい手順はありません。
不安なのは飛ぶまでで、いったん飛んでしまったら海の美しさに圧倒されてます。
飛んでいる間は、とにかく気持ちがいいです。

Photoサービスは３０$で１００枚以上撮ってもらえました。
防水のデジカメを（首からぶら下げて）持っていったので
空からの写真は撮れましたが（それほど飛行は安定しています）
自分の写真は撮れないので、撮ってもらって良い思い出になりました。

迎えの車が遅れるというトラブルがありましたが、
ホテルのフロントから連絡を入れてもらって事なきを得ました。
そこはハワイタイムということで(笑)

It was my son's second private lesson, and he had a very kind and easy-to-understand instructor who spoke to him multiple times with gentleness. I also found the instructor to be very friendly and pleasant. Both of them were able to ride the waves almost perfectly, and we were very satisfied. The next day, I tried it alone and was able to ride successfully. I thought about surfing when I return to Japan, but since my neck hurts, it's difficult for an old man to do it for long periods... Ah, it was fun.

12歳の息子と2回目のプライベートレッスンでした。息子のインストラクターの方はとても親切で分かりやすく優しく何度も話しかけてくださっていました。私の方もとても気さくな方でいい感じでした。二人ともほぼ波に乗れて大変満足でした。翌日私は一人でトライし、うまく乗ることができました。日本に帰ってもサーフィンしてみるかー？と思いましたが、ただ首が痛くなるので長時間はおじさんには無理ですね、、、ああ楽しかった。

This was the best part of my trip to Hawaii!
- Hanauma Bay is incredibly beautiful. I think it's the most beautiful spot on Oahu.
- The veteran guide takes you to great spots where you can see lots of fish.
- If you're not confident in swimming, the guide provides support, so you can feel at ease.
- The guide takes photos for you, and you can receive the data.
- They provide transportation to and from the hotel, which is super convenient.

I was truly fortunate to have such a great guide, and it was a fun snorkeling experience at Hanauma Bay! If I go to Hawaii again, I will definitely do this optional tour!

今回のハワイ旅行で1番良かったです！
・ハナウマ湾が綺麗すぎる
オアフで1番綺麗だと思いました
・ベテランガイドさんが良いスポットに連れて行ってくれるので魚がいっぱい
・泳ぎに自信がない方はガイドさんがサポートしてくれるから安心
・ガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれて、データでもらえる
・ホテルまで送迎してくれて楽チン

本当にガイドさんに恵まれて楽しいハナウマ湾のシュノーケルでした！またハワイに行ったら、
このオプショナルツアーは絶対します！！

It was such a lot of fun. Russel and Kevin were excellent professionals and really made us feel safe with their knowledge and skill. We really enjoyed the whole excursion from start to finish. The boat handled the windy and choppy conditions very comfortably. Para-sailing about 600 ft. above the ocean off Waikiki harbour was so quiet and exhilarating.

I was a bit anxious about snorkeling for the first time, but the guide (a Japanese woman and her husband) explained everything very kindly, so I was able to relax and enjoy it. Since the guide was a veteran, I was able to encounter the sea turtles I had hoped to see, as well as many other fish. Moreover, we had gone without an underwater camera and had given up on taking underwater photos, but the guide had taken some for us, which was a great help. It was also a big plus that we could enter the parking lot without waiting. I'm really glad I found this tour (the guide). If I come to Hawaii again, I plan to request them once more!

初めてのシュノーケリングで少し不安でしたが、ガイドの方(日本人女性とその旦那様)がとても親切に説明してくれたので安心して楽しむ事が出来ました。
ベテランガイドさんという事で、期待していた海ガメにも出会えましたし他にも沢山の魚を見る事が出来ました。
しかも、今回私達は水中カメラを用意せず行ってしまい水中写真は諦めていましたが、ガイドの方が撮っていてくれたものがあり助かりました。
駐車場にも待たずに入る事が出来たのもポイント高かったです♪
本当にこのツアー(ガイドさん)に出会えて良かったです。
次にハワイへ来る事があればまたお願いしようと思っています！

I used this service during Golden Week, and luckily, it turned into a completely private lesson just for our group. Our guide, Chieko, was very cheerful and kind. Both of us couldn't swim and it was our first time snorkeling, so we were quite anxious, but she explained everything carefully, which made us feel safe to enter the sea. I believe that if anyone follows her instructions, they can enjoy snorkeling.

We snorkeled for about an hour, and we didn't get tired at all. It's definitely a good idea to bring an underwater camera. I think it's also fine to bring a regular camera. You can take pictures with Hanauma Bay in the background. All valuables can be placed in the guide's box, which is locked, so it's safe.

On that day, the wind was really strong, and we couldn't go out further. The water was a bit murky, but there were still plenty of fish. It's a shame we didn't get to see any sea turtles.

The photos that Chieko took with the GoPro were available for download from Facebook.

GWに利用しましたが、運よく私達のグループだけで、完全にプライベートレッスンになりました。
ガイドのちえこさんはとても明るくて優しい方でした。私達は2人とも泳げないしシュノーケリングは初めてで、不安いっぱいの中でしたが、丁寧に説明していただいて安心して海に入れました。説明いただいた通りにやれば、どんな人でも楽しくシュノーケリングできると思います。

1時間ほど続けてシュノーケリングをしましたが、全然疲れませんでした。水中カメラは絶対に持って行ったほうがいいです。普通のカメラも持って行ってもいいと思います。ハナウマベイをバックに写真をとれます。貴重品は全てガイドさんの箱の中に入れて、ロックをかけてくれるので安心です。

この日は風が本当に強くて、沖の方にでることはできませんでした。水も少し白くなってしまっていましたが、それでもたくさん魚がいました。ウミガメに会えなかったのは残念です。

ちえこさんがGo Proで撮影してくれた写真は、Facebookからダウンロードできました。

I thought the children might be scared, but surprisingly they were quite happy. The people who rode with us were very kind, and the children became attached to them. If there's a chance, maybe next time too?!

子供が怖がるかなとも思ったが意外と喜んでました。同乗した方々が非常にやさしく、子供もなついていました。機会があれば次回も？！

Great Service. Drivers are friendly. Customer service center response quickly and patiently

I participated in a kayak tour. Our guide, Hide, provided thorough explanations, and even as beginners in our 40s, we were able to reach the uninhabited island without any help. My arms did get sore, but it was nothing compared to the excitement! The beauty of the Kailua sea and the sense of achievement from paddling there myself! Plus, the guide's fun tour around the uninhabited island made for an experience so wonderful that I lost track of time. The pizza for lunch was also delicious. I definitely want to participate again!

カヤックツアーに参加しました。
ガイドのヒデさんは丁寧に説明下さり初心者で40代の私達でもヘルプなしで無人島へ到着することができました。
確かに腕は痛くなりましたがそんな物とは比べ物にならないぐらいの感動でした！カイルアの海の美しさと自分でこいで到着したという達成感!!そしてガイドの楽しい無人島一周ツアー。時間が経つのを忘れるぐらい素晴しい体験ができました。
ランチのピザも美味しかったです。
是非また参加したいです。

I was a bit nervous since it was my first time, but I felt refreshed and had a great time. I experienced more seasickness than I expected, but the staff provided excellent support, which made me feel at ease.

初めてで少し緊張していましたが、気分爽快で楽しかったです。予想以上に船酔いしてしまいましたが、スタッフがしっかりフォローしてくれたので安心でした。

I made a last-minute reservation online the day before, but the process from booking to pickup to the actual paragliding was smooth, and I was able to enjoy it comfortably (≧∇≦). I'm very satisfied!

前日に現地で急遽ネットから予約しましたが、予約→ピックアップ→本番とスムーズで、快適にパラセイリングが出来ました（≧∇≦）大満足です！

Nice and professional crew, expectations were met completely. Had a great time on the line together with my girlfriend and a great view on Waikiki.

2 kids and dad together! What a blast! Will do this again!

There may be some language issues during the round trip from the yacht harbor to the point, but the captain's administrative response was not very exciting. The parasailing itself was truly wonderful. The shuttle bus driver did their best to cheer us up with broken Japanese. Of course, I doubled the tip.

ヨットハーバーからポイントまでの往復時は言葉の問題は多少あるかもしれませんがキャプテン等の事務的な対応はテンションがあがりませんでした。パラセイリング自体は大変すばらいものでした。シャトルバスのドライバーは片言の日本語で一生懸命盛り上げてくれました。チップはもちろん倍額させていただきました。

My wife and I were staying in Waikiki for a week and everyone said we need to make a trip to the North Shore when on Oahu. We scoured Trip Advisor, Yelp and other Hawaii Adventure sites and this one looked appealing. Turns out to be a great deal if you are looking for transportation to the North Shore and a variety of options to choose from once you get there. We chose to snorkel in the mornng at Sharks Cove then spend an hour at Waimea Bay, then in the afternoon we did the SUP down the river in Halewia.
The tour is setup where they pick you up on a ~20 person bus from multiple Waikiki hotels, then up a narrated drive up to the North Shore which took about 1 1/2 hours all together. Sam was our host for the day and is awesome at his job. Very knowledgable, humourous and makes the tour a good time. Once you are there, you get to see the options for the day such as hanging at the beach of Waimea Bay, surfing, snorkeling, beach bike cruise, Waimea Botanical Gardens, stand up paddle boarding and probably a few others options that I am missing. There is no additional cost to do these unless you want to do more than two. If there was one draw back for the day, it was that we could have enjoyed a few more hours on the beach and shopping at the local surf shops there.
Overall, great trip and glad we did it!

In a word, it was so much fun that I want to experience it again. We went up to a height of 150 meters, which was quite high, and the view was beautiful. They will burn the photos onto a CD for $30, and I think it's worth buying. We were worried about theft and didn't bring any money, but there were other Japanese groups there, so theft probably isn't a concern. Definitely give it a try!

一言で言うともう一度体験したいくらい楽しかったです。150mの高さにしたのですが結構高く景色も綺麗でした。写真を$30でCDに焼いてくれますが、これは買ったほうがいいと思います。私たちは盗難が怖くお金を持参しなかったのですが、他の日本人のグループの方もいて盗難とかはおそらく心配なさそです。是非体験してみてください、

Great driver and very knowledgeable. Helpful with helping everyone with their gear

Initially, I reserved without a guide, feeling a bit anxious. I hoped there would be availability on the day, but it was fully booked. However, the kayak guide Yasuyo was an incredibly funny person, so I decided to change my plans! Kayaking alone felt a bit lonely, but I had a great experience, so I'm glad I did it!

最初supでガイドなしで、予約したのですが心細くなり当日空いてればと思ったのですがいっぱいでカヤックガイドのヤスヨさんがめっちゃくちゃおもしろい人だったので変更しました！1人でカヤックも心細かったのですがいい経験できたのでよかったです！

The day of participation was quite sunny, and since there were no other Japanese participants, I really felt like I was abroad, which made it so much fun. The juice I drank on the boat was exceptional! I was also able to see turtles swimming in the sea, which became a wonderful memory.♪

参加日はかなりの晴天で、また他の参加者に日本人がいなかったため、これぞ外国！という気分を味わえてとっても楽しかったです。
船の上で飲むジュースはまた格別でした！
海で泳ぐ亀も見ることができ、とってもよい思い出になりました♪

Nice view!
I try Parasailing every year!
I will try parasailing at Hawaii parasailing next year!
