All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

Both the captain and the crew were very entertaining. My English is at a normal level, but they really got the conversation going! For $40, they will take photos with a DSLR camera. They came up with various creative ways to take pictures, and when I checked them after the experience, I was surprised by how many there were! They sent the photo data to my smartphone right away :) I also received the data on an SD card. If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate!

キャプテンもクルーの方もとっても面白かったです。英語は普通レベルの私ですが盛り上げてくれて会話が弾みました！40$で一眼レフで写真も撮ってくれます。写真の撮り方を色々工夫してくれていて、体験後に確認するとびっくりするほどありました！スマホに写真データをすぐ送っていただきました:)SDカードでデータも貰えます。またハワイに行くならぜひ参加したいです！！

We set off with about 12 people on the boat. There were only two groups of Japanese, including mine, but I had a lot of fun communicating a bit with the other groups. If you get seasick, it might be wise to be careful! The waves were a bit high that day...!

Photos are 137 for $40, and you can decide whether to take them on the boat or not. They take some really good pictures. (Another Japanese couple had a GoPro, so they didn't take any photos! There's no pressure, so it's totally fine to decline.) You can also ask someone else on the same boat to take pictures with your iPhone (it's a bit boring when you're down below...). I also asked for videos and photos.

I think even those who are anxious about flying abroad can feel at ease! I highly recommend it.

1船12人程で出発
日本人は私の組含めて2組しかいませんでしたが、ほかの組との少しコミュニケーションしたりととても楽しかったです。
船酔いする人は気をつけた方が良さそう！
当日少しだけ波が高かった…！
写真は137枚で40ドル、船の上で撮るか撮らないか決めれます。結構いい写真撮ってもらえます。
(別の日本人カップルはGoProを持ってらっしゃったので撮影なしでした！強制力はないので断るのも全然OK)
同じ船に乗ってもらってる人にiPhoneでの撮影も頼めます（下にいる時は暇だし…）。私も動画と写真お願いしました＾＾
海外で飛ぶの不安〜な方も安心して出来ると思います！おすすめ

What a great way to spend an afternoon! The company offers plenty of activities for you to stay active if you want out on the sandbar, or you can just chill out and lounge in the sandbar living room. The lunch was awesome! The staff was very friendly and professional. The 2 man band had amazing talent! I truly enjoyed the experience. It was very relaxing and fun. Thank you for the memories and joy!

To enter Hanauma Bay as soon as it opened, the morning pickup was a bit earlier. I was lucky to catch the sunrise at a nearby coastline while adjusting my schedule before entering!

This was my third visit to Hanauma Bay. The weather was perfect, but the ocean at 7 AM was still quite cold as the water temperature hadn't warmed up yet. Still, the view was absolutely stunning! I was very satisfied to see so many fish.

ハナウマの開園と同時に入場する為、朝のピックアップは少し早めでした。
入場前に時間調整で近くの海岸線で日の出も見れてラッキー！

ハナウマ湾に来るのは3回目
お天気は最高でしたが、やはり朝7時の海は、みだ水温が上がらず冷たかったです(^^;
それでも、やはり絶景！魚達も沢山見れて大満足でした。

I’m so happy I booked this excursion. The staff were super friendly and interactive with everyone. The music was great! And the location was just breathtaking. The water was warm, crystal clear and safe to swim and do other activities.
This excursion was so worth it!!!

We did everything they offered, tube ride, banana boat turtle watching, snorkeling, SUP boarding, kayaking, throwing the football. We loved this and will definitely do it on our next trip. They even have a big floating living room. And the snorkeling was really good- saw all kinds of fish. Loved this trip.

The sandbar itself is a must-go! Staff with KBSO were so friendly and professional, and the tour was well organized. We really enjoyed the snorkeling and water play in the clear shallow water 😊

We had a really good time. Our only complaint was that out of all the pictures there are none of showing us actually riding the wave in. As well we really only wanted a couple of the pictures but didn’t have that option, buy them all or none

All the years I've been coming to Oahu, I've never done anything like this excursion! Best money spent on a family outing. It was majestic! The live music was beautiful, the lunch was outstanding! The crew and captain were so friendly and really made you feel included and very welcome, like a trip out with old friends. I cannot say enough about how special and memorable this trip was. Core memories built! Thanks you so so much Kbos! Special shout out to Braddah From our hometown of Vallejo Ca.! Do yourself a favor and just go!

It was my first time parasailing, and I had a great time. I'm not very good with the feeling of floating on roller coasters, but this was just pure fun without that sensation!

初めてのパラセーリングでしたがとても楽しむことができました。ジェットコースターの浮遊感がとても苦手ですが、これはほぼ浮遊感なくただただ楽しいです！

I went parasailing for the first time in my life. I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea and blue sky from 150 meters up. Just before taking off, I was nervous, but during the flight, it was quite stable, and I was able to enjoy the scenery while chatting with my wife. The staff were also playful, which made me very satisfied!

人生で初めてパラセーリングをしました。
美しい海と青い空を150メートルから堪能できました。飛ぶ直前はドキドキしましたが、飛行中はかなり安定しており妻と色んな話をしながら景色を楽しめました。
スタッフの方もお茶目で満足です！

I was anxious about everything being in English, but the return time and meeting place were clear, so I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind. I was lucky to see seals swimming in the bay as well.

オール英語で不安でしたが、帰りの時間と集合場所が明確で安心して楽しめました。アザラシも湾内に泳いできてラッキーでした。

I had my four grandchildren, two boys and two girls, experience three types of marine sports from elementary school to high school. They were a bit stiff during parasailing, but everyone was extremely satisfied with the banana boat ride. Thank you to everyone at the staff!

小学校から高校までの男女4人の孫にマリーンスポーツ３種を体験させました。
パラセーリングは少し体が固まっていましたが、バナナボートは最高と全員大満足でした。sたっふの皆さんありがとうございました。

I found that the water wasn't as clear as I had hoped. The sandy beach wasn't as beautiful as I expected either. I want to visit the sandbar I went to two years ago again!

泳いでみて思ったほど透明度は良くなかった。砂浜も思ったほど綺麗ではなかった。一昨年行ったサンドバーにもう一度行ってみたいです！

It was my first time trying SUP, but they kindly and patiently taught me, and even as someone over 60, I was able to enjoy it. I want to do it again the next time I come to Hawaii.

I was sore the next day (laughs).

初めてのSUPでしたが親切丁寧に教えてくださり還暦過ぎの私でも楽しむことができました
次回ハワイに来た時もやりたいと思ってます

次の日筋肉痛になりました（笑）

I participated on December 28. I really wanted to go snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, and I heard that local tours are smooth and good because currently, access is strictly limited for environmental protection. It was indeed strict to enter the bay, and there was a long line of cars waiting. The guide seemed to be familiar with the local staff, which made things very smooth for us. All participants borrowed wetsuits. Since there are quite a few rocky areas, I thought it would be dangerous to just wear swimsuits. Please be careful. The guide, who was a couple, provided us with solid instruction on the basic techniques. Even I, who had a fear of water, quickly got used to it and enjoyed myself.

12月28日に参加しました。ハナウマ湾でシュノーケリングを是非したかったのと、現在、環境保護のために、人の出入りが厳しく制限されているということで、現地ツアーがスムーズで良いと聞いたからです。本当に湾に入るのは厳しく、順番待ちの車がズラーッと並んでいました。ガイドさんは現地の係員さんと顔馴染みのようで、こちらはとてもスムーズだったように思います。ウエットスーツは参加者全員借りていました。割と岩場があるので、水着だけでは怪我してしまうと思いました。お気をつけください。ガイドさんはご夫婦で私達を案内してくれて、基本的テクニックをしっかり教えてもらえました。水に恐怖感があった私も、すぐ慣れて楽しめました。

It was my first time parasailing and jet skiing, and I enjoyed both to the fullest! After finishing parasailing, I moved to another boat to go jet skiing. Both were a lot of fun!

初めてのパラセーリング＆ジェットスキーでしたが、両方満喫できました！パラセーリング終了後に別のボートに移動しジェットスキーをしました。どちらも楽しかったです！

Dan from Blue Hawaii Divers was absolutely 💯 amazing. Very knowledgeable, thorough and caring. Great husband and wife duo. 5 star

Dan was a great guide. Very knowledgeable about the history and we saw so many fish.

My wife and I both celebrated our 70th birthdays and took our first trip to Hawaii. We discussed what activities to do! We challenged ourselves to try parasailing for the first time, and it was amazing. We will definitely come back to try it again! However, if you are prone to seasickness, please take some medication.

私と女房は、共に古希を迎えて、初ハワイ。
何を活動しようかと相談！
初パラセーリングにチャレンジ、最高でした。また、チャレンジしに来るぞ〜。
但し、船酔いする人は、薬飲んでくださいね

I was disappointed with Mr. T, the guide for the Kaneohe Bay cruise package tour! He might be the same guide mentioned in someone else's experience on the Jurassic Park movie location tour.

カネオヘ湾クルーズパッケージツアーのガイドのMr.Tさんにゲンナリ！
どなたかが体験談に紹介されていたジュラシックか映画ロケ地巡りツアーでのガイドと同じかもです。

I hesitated to cancel because it seemed scary after I signed up, but I really enjoyed the experience. Once you start flying, it’s not as scary as it looks from below, and the view is amazing; it feels really good. The instructor was also humorous and very kind.

申し込んでみたものの怖そうだから、やっぱりキャンセルしようか迷いましたが、体験して本当に楽しかったです。
下から見ているよりも、飛んでしまえばそれ程怖さも感じなくて、景色も最高だし、とっても気持ちがいいです。
インストラクターの方もユーモアがあり、とても親切です。

I had a very enjoyable experience. The people on the boat were also wonderful, and we were able to enjoy a fun boat trip in a friendly atmosphere. During parasailing, I fell into the sea a few times, which was thrilling and very entertaining! However, if you wish to purchase photos, please make sure to inform the staff directly on the boat before parasailing!

とても楽しい経験をすることができました。船に同乗していた方々もとても素敵な方たちで、和気あいあいとした雰囲気の中、楽しい船旅を楽しむことができました。
パラセーリング中には何度か海に“ドボン”と落ちることもあり、それがまたスリル満点でとても面白かったです！
ただ、写真の購入を希望される方は、必ずパラセーリング前に船の上で、写真購入希望の旨を直接スタッフに伝えるようにしてください！！

I was relieved that they arrived on time for the early morning pickup. Although the conversation was only in English, I somehow understood the nuances and was able to spend my time without anxiety. Hanauma Bay was beautiful as always after such a long time.

早朝のお迎えだったけど時間通りに来ていただき安心しました。
英語のみの会話だったけとなんとなくニュアンスは伝わり不安なく過ごせました。
久しぶりのハナウマベイはやっぱり綺麗でした。

We had a great first time experience. The crew were very professional and made sure we enjoyed our time.

We had a great time kayaking the ocean and river. Guides were very friendly, fun, annd accommodating and kept everyone in our group safe!

I experienced parasailing for the first time in Hawaii. The view of Waikiki from above was beautiful. The boat sways quite a bit, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some anti-nausea medication beforehand.

ハワイではじめてのパラセーリングを体験しました。
上空ｋらみるワイキキの街並みはキレイでした。
舟は結構揺れるので酔いやすい方は酔い止めの薬を飲んでおくといいかも

Our guide Dan was EXCELLENT!!!!!! There were only 4 of us in this group so Dan was very conscientious of how we were doing, making sure we saw a huge varied fish and even a turtle. Dan was an EXPERT and knew Hanauma Bay like the back of his hand. It was a once in a lifetime experience.

We used it across three generations! After a brief lecture, we headed straight to the sea. It was surprisingly easy to get out to the open water, and with the guide watching the waves, we surfed on canoes! The view of Diamond Head was beautiful and we had a great time.

3世代で利用しました！
簡単なレクチャーの後に、すぐに海へ。
意外と簡単に沖に出て、ガイドさんに波を見てもらい、カヌーでサーフィン！
ダイアモンドベッドも綺麗に見えて楽しかったです。

It was just the two of us, the captain, and a young guy, so there were four of us in total. At first, I was scared when we were paddling out to sea because of the big waves, but once I got used to it, it was fun and great. Surfing was the best! 😀 Since I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat, I borrowed a life jacket. I had a lot of fun. I was able to buy the photos and videos properly. Thank you very much!

海に向かって漕ぐ時、大きな波だと最初怖かったけど、慣れたら楽しくて良かったです
波乗りも最高😀
怖がりだから、ライフジャケット借りました
楽しかったです
写真ビデオちゃんと買う事できました
ありがとうございました
