All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

so friendly staffs and good boat
time was enough and additional photo option was good
(it worth !!)

This is a must do! I don't want to spoil it for you. The crew is Awesome & staff is very friendly. Must do if on Ohau!

I participated with a friend. It was a yacht with little rocking and no engine noise, so we really enjoyed the cruising experience. There were many foreign guests, but everyone was relaxed, and just watching them made it enjoyable. Inside the boat, Mai Tais were sold for $5, and we had a great time drinking while enjoying the atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

友達と二人で参加しました。揺れも少なくエンジンの音もないヨットなので、クルージングを満喫できました。外人のお客さんが多かったですが、みなさんリラックスされていてその様子をみるだけでも楽しくなりました。船内ではマイタイが5ドルで販売されていてお酒を飲みながら最高の時間を過ごせました。おすすめですよ。

Really well organised trip - from bus pick-up to drop off. All staff were exceptionally professional placing a great emphasis on safety. Our guide knew the area extremely well and provided intriguing insights in to the local environment. I went by myself and had a great time with the group I was allocated. I would definitely book with this company again.

The boat ride was extremely bumpy, and I got quite seasick. It was fun, but motion sickness medication is a must.

Also, if the service is good, I usually leave a tip on the way out, but I’ve noticed people conspicuously leaving $20 or $30 bills. Japanese people tend to feel obligated to leave a similar amount, but it’s not necessary to pay that much. A tip of around $2 to $3 is more than enough. Be careful not to feel pressured to tip excessively.

めちゃくちゃ船の運転が荒く、かなり船酔いしました。楽しかったですが、酔い止め必須です。
また、サービスがよければ帰り際にチップを置いていきますが、これ見よがしに20や30ドル札を置いています。日本人は気を遣って同じくらい置いてしまいますが、そんなに払う必要なし。せいぜい2～3程度で十分です。気を遣わないように注意。

This was my second time attending Hawaiian Parasail in Honolulu and it wasn't as good as the first time. Everything was great as far as the actual para-sailing goes. Honestly, it felt rushed and not as excited for them to have a family of 8 for our trip. We did tip them and we don't regret it but I do wish that it felt more welcoming than it did.
But I would go again for a third time :D

I was filled with anxiety and excitement until I went sailing. I even thought about not going until the previous group sailed. However, seeing how much fun they were having made me decide to take on the challenge of sailing. My anxiety disappeared as I soared into the sky, and looking down at the ocean felt refreshing and uplifting. I am eager to challenge myself again, and next time, I want to aim even higher.

　セイリングするまで不安やらわくわく期待感でいっぱいでした。前の組がセイリングするまではやめようかと思ったくらいです。ところが前の組が余りにも楽しそうだったので決心しセイリングに挑みました。空に舞い上がるほどに不安感はとれ、海原を見下ろすと気持ちが良く爽快でした。また挑戦したい気持ちでいっぱいです。今度はより高く挑戦したいものです。

Sailing on the boat, it was the second sailing of four groups. Watching the previous group's sailing, I felt smaller and smaller, almost like I was floating in the sky, and my feelings shifted more towards anxiety than excitement. When the time came, I made up my mind and went sailing. Looking back, there’s nothing more thrilling and enjoyable than this. If I ever come back to Hawaii, this is the first experience I want to have again.

　船に揺られてセイリング現場まで、4組のうち2番目のセイリング。前の組のセイリングを見ていると、空に舞うほどに小さくなり期待より不安のほうが気持ちを占めるようになり、いざというとき決心しセイリング。終わってみてこんなに興奮、楽しいものは無い。ハワイにまた来るようなことがあれば真っ先にまた経験したい。

The instructor was very kind, and both beginners were able to catch waves right away, which was impressive. They also captured photos of us surfing on a CD. I want to try it again!

先生が大変親切で初心者２人ともすぐに波に乗れて感激しました。波乗り中の写真もＣＤに収めてくれました。又トライしたいです。

It was exciting & scary at the same time! The strong winds made the ascent heart stopping. But once we reached our intended height, it was so peaceful.

I would do it all over again.

This is, by far, Oahu's top dive shop. Before beginning to dive, I shopped around, spoke with various instructors, and got a pretty good feel for what was available. In the end, I selected Aaron's and it turned out to be an awesome decision. All of the employees, whether they be sales associates, divemasters, captains, or instructors, are very professional, friendly, and immensely helpful. When it comes to diving, safety is always their first priority and they go to great lengths to ensure each diver is as comfortable as possible, both on the surface and underwater. There is no pretentious acting, bad attitude, or disrespect whatsoever; these guys are down-to-Earth, honest, and treat you like old friends. The number of people on a charter is kept small making every dive trip an enjoyable experience (I can say this with quite a bit of confidence after doing over two dozen dives with them from the boat), and the crew goes out of its way to cater to each person individually. This is the only operation I will dive with from now on, and if anyone expresses an interest in scuba this is where I tell them to go.

My favorite experience while in Hawaii. You get a boat ride, amazing scenery, great staff, its fun, and you also snorkel. They also take lots of pics for you ! Highly recommended. Dont miss out!

Went on this for one of our honeymoon activities! A lot of fun! We got a complimentary shuttle from our Waikiki Hotel and then watched a video and were sent on our self guided trip! You can visit and small island while kayaking or kayak to another beach and go snorkeling! We even saw a sea turtle! Definitely would recommend and lunch was included! Beautiful beach!

It was my first time parasailing, and I thought I might be a little scared before doing it. However, once I tried it, I was so moved by the breathtaking views that I didn't feel scared at all. It's highly recommended because you can't see the city of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea (or the sky) like this. I was completely satisfied even at 90 meters. It might be okay for those with a fear of heights.

You can take photos with your own camera while flying, so I didn't purchase the optional photos. Just be careful if you tend to get motion sickness since it's a boat ride.

Also, it was very nice that the pick-up car arrived at the hotel on time, which is rare in Hawaii. The driver, Mr. Yano, who is of Japanese descent, was very engaging and talked a lot to keep the atmosphere lively. It was great that there were more foreign participants than Japanese, as it made me feel like I was truly abroad.

初めてのパラセイリングだったので、やるまではちょっと怖いのかなと思っていました。でも、やってみたら絶景に感動で、怖いとは一切感じませんでした。海から（空から）ワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッドはなかなか見れないのでお勧めです。
90メートルでも充分満足です。高所恐怖症の人でも大丈夫かも。
飛びながら持参したカメラで写真を撮ったりもできるので、オプションの写真は購入しませんでした。
ただ、ボートでの移動なので、乗り物酔いする人は気をつけてください。
また、ハワイにしては珍しく、ホテルへ遅れることなくお迎えの車が来た点は非常に良かったです。運転手の日系人ヤノさんも、たくさん話をして盛り上げてくれました。
日本人より外国人の参加が多かったのも、海外に来ている感じが味わえてよかったです。

This was an awesome tour. The driver was local and gave lots of information about the area...what it used to be and what it is now. Many changes in 45 years. There was plenty of free time to explore. That was the best!

Harry is a great guide with plenty of energy, he will make sure you have a good time and show you some of the best places to hang out. You can lay on the beach and chill out of take part in a host of activities.

I took a one-hour lesson with two instructors: one taught me how to surf, and the other took photos while I was riding the waves. I'm happy to receive the pictures! One hour was just right for me. The instructor understood Japanese and taught me kindly, so I felt at ease and enjoyed myself.

サーフィンを教えて下さる方と波に乗ったのを撮って下さる方の2名体制で1時間のレッスンを受けました。写真を頂けるのは嬉しいです！私は1時間でちょうど良かったです。先生も日本語がわかる方ですし優しく教えて下さったので安心して楽しめました。

My mother and cousin experienced the 90M, while I did the 150M. The shuttle driver was also a very cheerful and funny person. My mother, who is somewhat afraid of heights, really enjoyed it. I was surprised when she said that she felt she could go even higher when it was over! The 150M is quite high, and even I, who usually handles heights well, felt a bit nervous when the wind picked up (laughs). The crew on the boat were friendly, and although they didn't speak much Japanese, we managed to communicate through feelings. The view of Honolulu was breathtaking, and I think it would be a lot of fun for families as well. By the way, we participated with the 2 PM pickup, and since we happened to be the only ones, we were able to take our time, which was lucky.

母といとこが90M、私は150Mを体験しました。
送迎のおじさんもとても愉快な人で面白かったです。
多少高所のある母もとても楽しんでいました。
終わった時にはもう少し高くまで行けそうwとまで言っていたのでびっくりしました。
150Mはなかなか高く、普段平気な私も風がふくと少しビビりました（笑）
船の方達も気さくな方で日本語はあまり話せませんがフィーリングでなんとかなります。
ホノルルの景色も絶景で、とても楽しくファミリーでもとても楽しめると思います。
ちなみに14時のPickUPで参加しましたが、たまたま私たちだけだったのでゆっくりできてそれもラッキーでした。

It was my first time paddle surfing! It was so much fun! Luckily, I was able to see a sea turtle, which was amazing! I also got some great photos, making for a wonderful memory. Thank you!

初めてのパドルサーフィン！とても楽しかったです！
運良くウミガメも見る事が出来て、最高でした！
写真も撮ってもらえて良い記念になりました。
ありがとうございました！

I used this service for the first time, and I was able to enjoy the best view even at a height of 110 meters!! The staff were cheerful and fun locals. However, if you are prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to take medication in advance?? Also, don't forget to prepare a change of clothes!

初めて利用させて頂きましたが、高さ110メートルでも最高の景色が楽しめました!!スタッフも明るく楽しい現地の方でした。ただ船酔いをする方は事前に薬を飲んでいた方がよいかも??あと着替えも準備忘れずに!

It was my first time parasailing. I went with my husband and son, and it felt amazing. Since it was the first day of our tour in Hawaii, it really boosted our spirits. However, the bus pick-up did not arrive at the scheduled time, and when I called, they only spoke English. In the end, the bus arrived 45 minutes after the meeting time. I was quite anxious until then, so without that issue, it would have been a five-star experience.

パラセイルは初めてでした。主人と息子と3人で乗りました。とても気持ちよかったです。ハワイ一日目のツアーだったので、しっかりテンションがアップしました。
ただ、待ち合わせの時間になってもバスの迎えが来ず、電話をかけても英語しか通じないし、結局待ち合わせの時間より45分経ってバスが来ました。それまで不安でしたので、それが無ければ５つ星でした。

I arrived in Hawaii alone first and, feeling a bit anxious about meeting up with my friends later, I participated by myself. However, from the moment I was picked up, Mark spoke to me kindly and fluently in Japanese, which really put me at ease. The staff here are cheerful, the activities were fun, and the lunch was casual. The ocean was beautiful and it was just amazing! During free time, I could use the bodyboards as well. This is definitely a place I want to visit again; I had a great time!

先に1人でハワイにつき、後から友達と合流計画の為、不安になりながらも1人で参加しましたが、お迎えの時からマークさんが日本語も上手に優しく話しかけてくれたのでとてもホッとしました。ここのスタッフの人は明るくてアクティビティも楽しかったし、ランチも自由な感じで、海もきれくて最高でしたよ！自由時間もボディボードとか使えます。また必ず行きたいところで、楽しかった！！

We participated with my spouse and our 6-year-old daughter in the 120-meter experience. We did not arrange for transportation and met at the location with a rental car. At the meeting point at the harbor, the water was very clear, and we were able to see many fish. We had a reservation for 10 AM, and we shared the ride with one Japanese couple, one couple from the mainland U.S., and one elderly white gentleman. Since we were able to bond with the others, we enjoyed our time waiting on the boat.

Once we took off, it was absolutely amazing. My daughter was a bit nervous before flying, but once we were in the air, she was thrilled and has been saying she wants to fly again after returning to Japan.

Since we participated after reading reviews, I, of course, signed up for the $30 photo package. I asked them to take a lot of pictures, and they delivered as expected, capturing many moments. When they asked if I wanted to splash, I answered "of course," and I ended up getting completely soaked.

Next time in Hawaii, I want to fly even higher. It was truly a fun and unforgettable experience.

夫婦、6歳の娘と、120メートルで参加しました。　送迎は申し込まず、レンタカーで現地集合で参加しました。　待ち合わせ場所のﾊｰﾊﾞｰでも、透明度が高くて、たくさんのお魚を見ることができました。　私たちは10時で予約したのですが、一緒に乗り合わせたのは、日本人のカップル1組、アメリカ本土のご夫婦1組、白人のご老人お１人でした。　乗り合わせていらっしゃる方々と一緒に盛り上がることができたので、船で待っている間も楽しめました。
いざ飛んでみると、もぉ最高でした。　娘も飛ぶ前は少し緊張していましたが、飛んだら大興奮で、日本に帰ってきてからもまた飛びたいといっています。
口コミを読んでから参加したので、30ドルの写真ももちろん、申し込みました。
たくさん撮ってねとお願いしたので、期待通り、たくさん撮ってくれました。
ジャボンするか？と聞かれたので、もちろんって答えたら、心置きなく全身濡れました。
次回のハワイではもっと高く飛びたいです。
本当に楽しくて、忘れられない経験でした。

I have a fear of heights, so I was worried, but when I actually flew, it was incredibly refreshing and amazing!! I chose a height of 120 meters, but I didn't feel high at all; it was quite easy (laughs). The wind felt nice, and when I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to try it!

私は高所恐怖症なので、心配だったのですが、実際に飛んでみると、とても爽快で最高でした！！120mの高さを選びましたが、まったく高いと感じず、余裕でした（笑）風も気持ち良くて、またハワイに行った時は、是非挑戦したいです！！

I had to give this a 3 star rating to get it to post. My earlier one star rating wouldn't post and my comments were sent to the tour operator for comment. Each issue that I raised the company flat out lied about. As indicated in a prior review, it was disappointing that the scooters had to be moved around by the divers, they are not in working order to be moved under their own power. It looked like they were broken or missing engine parts. I loved the concept, the crew was fantastic and I would have said it was OK, but given that the event is not as advertised and that Bob's Underwater Scooter Adventure management flat out lied I would then question the safety of the event. False advertising. One star.

The "Surf Bus" Rocked my world, got timed out and lost my heartfelt compliments. I can't rewrite my praises. It does not do justice. Going to try:
Sam was an amazing guide, the playing, eating, and listening on the North Shore, my taste of heaven. Just visualize; Sea Turtles, tidal pools and an eye to eye with an Eagle Ray, food to die for, and 1000 reasons to keep coming back. An awesome "build your own burger". Surprise yourself and go for it! Not a sit and stare tour, unless your waiting for a set, or focused on sea turtles. You still get to do your driving. Came back exhausted and completed. 50 years in and now I figure out happy. Better late than never.
Mesmerized by the bright smiles, and sense of community that emerged as we talked through our day. 20 people, 5 countries and a bevy of dialects. It was right Kraky, but no worries mate.
@Sam, the Tiki was truly over that rainbow.
Mahalo nui loa!!!

Capt mike piloting the Maggie Joe is a winning combination. My son I. Law and nephew all had a great great time. The crew, Ty and Jeremy were awesome. Catching a 212# blue marlin was just icing on the cake. I would definitely go with this. Few again

I went with two female friends. A dedicated trolley picked us up at the pickup location near the hotel, and it took about 10 minutes to reach the port.

At the destination, there were about six groups, and we were the only Japanese people there. We all boarded the boat at once and set off from the port, taking turns to start parasailing. It felt amazing, and we were really excited! I highly recommend it!

The instructions were only in English, but I managed to understand by watching what the others were doing. There isn't a designated place or time to change, so it's better to wear your swimsuit under your clothes when you go to the hotel. You can return wet if you want.

I timed it, and from when my feet left the platform until I landed, it was less than eight minutes. The actual time spent flying was about five minutes. I wish we could have flown a bit longer.

You can actually finish without getting wet at all, but they intentionally drop you into the sea, so you get wet up to your waist. If you want, you can pay $30 for photos, and they give you the memory card. We bought it and were satisfied.

女友達2人で行きました。ホテル近くのピックアップ場所に専用のトロリーが迎にきて10分くらいで港に着きます。
行った先では私達含めて6組くらい、日本人は私達だけでした。
一度にボートに乗って港を出発して順番にパラセイリング開始します。めちゃくちゃ気持ちくてテンションあがります！オススメです♪
説明が英語のみでしたがなんとなく他の人たちのを見てたらわかりました。
着替える場所と時間が準備されている訳ではないのでホテルで中に着ていった方がいいです。濡れたままでも帰れます。
時計で計った所、足が離れてからつくまでで8分もありません。実質飛んでるのは5分程度です。もう少し長く飛んでいたかったですが。
本当は全く濡れずに終えることも可能ですがわざと海に落とされて腰まで濡れます。
希望すれば30$で写真撮ってメモリーカードごとくれます。私達は買いました。満足です。

The ocean in Kailua is incredibly blue, and it was a 64-year-old grandma who set out kayaking alone. Her friends were 65 and 55 years old, and we could do anything! Snorkeling in the coral reefs of Lanikai—landing on a deserted island!!! We were completely satisfied!!! The three grandma kayakers were eager to challenge themselves again the next day. It was a joyful time in Oahu, absolutely fantastic!!!

カイルアの海の真っ青な事、その海を1人カヤックで漕ぎ出したのは6４歳のグランマですよ。一緒の友人は65歳と55歳、何でも出来ましたよォ～～　　ラニカイの海の珊瑚礁でシュノーケル～～～　　無人島上陸！！！　もう、大満足！！！でした～～～　もう1度次の日も挑戦したいと初めてのカヤックグランマ3人組は意気揚々でした。ルンルンオアフでした、サイコ～～～～～

We experienced this in mid-October. October is the rainy season, so there are downpours almost every day.

We had a reservation at 3 PM, but rain clouds came down from the mountains in the afternoon, and there was a downpour about 30 minutes before we were set to fly.

I was worried that we wouldn't be able to enjoy the stunning views because of the rain, but just before we took off, the rain stopped, and we were able to enjoy beautiful scenery.

The sky was more breathtaking than I imagined, and it was very peaceful. I think such a space is hard to come by.

The captain spoke mostly in English, but they were cheerful and made it enjoyable. They also took photos, and you can get an SD card for $30.

I think even those with a fear of heights can enjoy this experience. I highly recommend it.

私たちが体験したのは１０月半ばでした。
１０月は雨期なので、ほぼ毎日スコールがあります。

午後３時に予約したのですが、午後から雨雲が山から降りてきて
私たちが飛ぶ３０分前くらいにスコールがありました。。

雨では、絶景が期待できないのでとでも心配していましたが
飛ぶ寸前でスコールがやんで、きれいな景色を堪能できました。

空は、想像以上の眺めでとても静かです。
こんな空間は、なかなか味わえないと思いますよ。

キャプテンは、ほぼ英語ですが明るい方々で楽しめました。
写真も撮影してくれて、３０ドルでSDカードがもらえます。

高所恐怖症の方でも堪能出来ると思います。おすすめです。
