All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I was really excited to go to Hawaii, but I ended up feeling seasick due to lack of sleep and not feeling well. The waves were really strong, so it's definitely better to take anti-seasickness medication before going! The parasailing itself was a lot of fun, and the view from above was amazing! It does cost money, but we were able to buy the photos of ourselves up in the air, and it turned out to be a wonderful memory!

ハワイにいくからには！と意気込んでいったものの、
睡眠不足と体調不良で船酔いしてしまいました。
揺れも凄いので、絶対酔いとめ薬飲んでいったほうがいいです！！
パラセイリング自体はすごく楽しく、上からの眺めも最高でした！！
お金かかりますが、自分達が上空にいる写真のデータも買うことができるので、購入しましたが、とても良い思いでになりました！！！

This was my first time parasailing, i was terrified. The crew memebers were friendly, and patient with us(i wasnt listening very well because i was scared). They set us up, explained, and helped out with everything. i switched my ride from 400ft to 800ft before i went on, and they set us up, and even pulled us down when i yelled for them to.
It was a good experience, even though i was terrified. Also, they took tons of pictures while people were up there, and i really liked the fact you got your SD card.

First of all, I felt anxious that I didn't receive any emails other than the automated reply, so I called the local office, but there was no staff who could speak Japanese, so I couldn't confirm my reservation. However, later I received a call from this site and an email confirming my reservation, which relieved me.

There was no particular communication on-site either (I received a call from another company I booked through this site), but the staff arrived a little late for the scheduled pickup.

Initially, I had requested a female instructor when making the reservation, but a male instructor showed up.

It was clearly stated that there might be cases where my request could not be accommodated.

However, I felt that it was inconsiderate of them to send a male staff member who couldn't speak Japanese, especially since they knew I could only speak Japanese when I called in advance.

I was drawn to the words "Japanese is fine. Female instructor." when making the reservation, but this response was far from satisfactory.

まず、自動返信以外のサンクスメール等がこないことに不安を感じてこちらから現地に電話したが日本語が通じるスタッフがいなかったので予約確認が出来なかったが、後ほどこのサイトから電話があったこと、予約確認が取れている旨のメールが来たので一安心。

現地でも特になんの連絡も無かったが（このサイトで予約した他の会社からは電話がきた）当日の時間にちょい遅れでスタッフがピックアップに。

まず今回予約の時点で女性インストラクターを希望していたのに男性がくる。

これは希望に添えない場合もあると明記されていた。

しかし事前に電話した際に日本語しか話せないことがわかっているのにも関わらず日本語が話せない、しかも希望とは違う男性スタッフとは、こちらのことを全く考えていないと感じました。

日本語で大丈夫。女性インストラクター。の言葉に惹かれて予約したのにこの対応ではとても満足できるものではありません。

Since I was in Hawaii, I wanted to have some great photos taken by a professional...

While searching, I found this plan with Jason.

From the confirmation email after booking, the phone call upon arrival in Hawaii, to the staff's response on the day, and above all, Jason's personality and talent as a photographer were truly wonderful!

I can confidently recommend this!

せっかくのハワイだからイイ写真をプロに撮ってほしくて・・・

探していたところ見つけたのがジェイソンに撮ってもらうこのプラン。

予約後の確認メールからハワイ到着後の電話、当日のスタッフの対応、なによりジェイソン自身の人柄、カメラマンとしての才能がとても素晴らしかったです！

自信を持ってお勧めできます！

それは素晴らしかったです。

it was awesome.

My wife and I went Jet Skiing for the first time ever and had a blast! Decent price and they have high quality waterproof cameras on the skiis but charge extra if you want a copy of photos or video. So bring extra money if you plan to buy a copy but thats optional. The staff was very nice especially the captain of the boat that drove us to the activity barge, he was telling jokes the whole way. Over all, I would recommend this activity to a friend.

I decided on this option after seeing the photo of two people side by side. There were a total of seven participants: two elementary school students and five adults, along with another group of four Japanese families on board. At first, the two elementary school students and one adult flew together. I was impressed that three people could sit side by side, and the view from above was refreshing. I thought the remaining two adults would fly in pairs for two more turns, but unexpectedly, four of us flew together: three adults and one more person behind. The person in the back hardly had their face captured in the photo that was taken, and the view was said to be poor. Even though the wind conditions were the same, the next family that flew consisted of one average-sized adult and one child, and they flew in two separate turns. I felt quite disappointed.

横並びの2人乗りの写真をみてこちらに決めました。小学生二人と大人５人、計７人の参加、他には日本人の親子連れ４人の乗船でした。最初は小学生２人と大人１人で飛びました。3人横並びもできるんだ、と感心しながら上からの眺めは爽快、そして次は残る大人２人ずつ２回だろう思っていたら、なんと大人3人とその後ろにもう１人の4人で。後ろの1人はせっかくとってっもらった写真にもほとんど顔は写っていないし、眺めも悪かったそうです。風の様子は同じだったのに、次にとんだもう一組の家族連れは普通体型の大人１人と子供１人ずつで２回にわけて飛んでました。かなり残念に思いました。

I got a call ahead of time to confirm my reservations, which was reassuring. The office staff was friendly and helpful. The parasailing experience was great. My wife and son were a bit apprehensive at first, but all went well. The two people running the boat operation were experienced and kept everything running smoothly.

I was worried until the day before, thinking it might be scary, and the pick-up car took a while to arrive, but the staff were cheerful and seemed to be having fun, which put me at ease. I felt nervous when taking off into the sky, but the view from above was exceptional, making it a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I wish I had applied sunscreen more thoroughly.

前日まで、恐くないか心配でしたし、迎えの車がなかなか来なかったのですが、スタッフの方が明るく、楽しそうにしているので安心しました。
空に飛び上がる時は緊張しましたが、空からの景色は格別で、またとない体験になりました。
日焼け止めはもっとしっかり塗っておけば良かったです。

When I inquired via email whether it was okay not to speak English at the time of booking, I was told, "Don't worry, we will provide a Japanese instruction manual in advance." However, there was no guidance in Japanese at all. Upon being picked up, we were only asked to sign a sheet that seemed to be a list of participants, which only included Japanese attendees (other foreign participants had a book with explanations and a consent form). As soon as we arrived at the sea, we were immediately put on the boat and set off without understanding what was happening.

Even after departure, the explanations were only in English, and I was completely lost... I felt anxious as we took off with only gestures and broken phrases to communicate. Moreover, although there were two of us women participating, we were forced to have a man who came alone placed between us, creating an awkward atmosphere in the air. I was really glad I didn't ask for any photos.

While parasailing itself was very enjoyable, I don't think I will use this tour company again.

予約時に英語が話せなくても大丈夫かメールで問い合わせしたところ「事前に日本語の説明書を渡すので心配ない」との事でしたが、日本語の案内は一切なく、ピックアップの車で日本人だけ参加者一覧のような用紙にサインをされられたのみで（その他の外国人の参加者は説明の記入してある本と同意書が有った）海に到着後すぐに船に乗せられ訳もわからないまま出発しました。
出発後も英語での説明のみでチンプンカンプン・・・
ジェスチャーと片言のみで飛び立ったので不安でした。
しかも女性２人で参加したのに強制的に１人で来ている男性を私達の間に入れられ３人で飛ぶ形となったので上空で微妙な雰囲気でした。写真を頼まなくて本当に良かったと思いました。
パラセイリングというもの自体はとても面白かったのですが、この催行会社はもう利用しないと思います。

Very friendly and professional staff from the van driver to the guys on the boat! Best fun and best bang for the buck!

The parasailing was fun and everything I expected and wanted. The jet skiing on the other hand was in simple terms lame. Going around a simple, and I mean simple course was not what I was expecting and wanted.

I read in another review that someone got sick at the summit, and I completely understand how they felt. Even with motion sickness medication, it was quite tough. The foreigner I was with seemed fine.

If you can, having a pick-up service would be easier. It was quite a walk from Ala Moana Center, and there are many similar shops, so we ended up being a bit late.

By the way, both my friend and I are slim, so it was a bit dangerous, and we rode with the foreigner, making it three of us. Joining with a group of friends could be fun.

他のかたのレビューで頂上で吐いたと読みましたが、気持ちがよくわかりました。酔い止め飲んでもかなり辛かったー。一緒になった外国人さんは平気そうでした。
写真は日本人の方が一緒になれば取り合いっこでもいいような出来かもしれません。レンズ覗いて撮ってないから笑。
できれば送迎付きの方が楽です。アラモアナセンターから歩いたら結構とおくて、しかもいくつも似たようなお店があるから、少し遅れちゃいました。
ちなみに、私も彼も細いので、危ないからと、外国人さんと3人乗りしました。3人組のお友達なんかの参加は楽しいかも。

We had a beautiful afternoon for our parasailing adventure. The bus picked up right on time at the location specified. There were three of us in our party plus another mom and her son. Two crew members for a total of 7 on board the boat. The crew of 2 were very friendly and made us all feel at ease. Waters were pretty smooth considering our adventure started at 3pm.
The guys did have trouble deploying the parasail as the cords kept on tangling as they delpoyed it. Sort of made us feel a little uneasy, but you could tell the crew had experianced this issue before as it was quite windy and they did not get flustered at all. We all joked a little about the situation which made the time go by pretty quick. After the 3rd attempt, we were good to go. The views were wonderful and my wife and daughter and I all enjoyed our rides, one tandem and one single. After reading other reviews on this site about having pictures taken by the crew and then the card sold to the customers (which we were co

Great experience.

On July 30, I participated in the "Stand-Up Paddle Beginner Plan." On the day of the event, I arrived at the meeting point by the poolside of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel at 9:30. After checking in, I waited until the lesson started at 10:00. The staff provided some instructions, and the lesson began. It was my first experience with stand-up paddle surfing, and we started with a simulation on land before finally heading into the ocean. I was nervous at first, but gradually got used to it and was able to stand up and paddle. It was an hour-long lesson that flew by.

7/30「スタンドアップパドル初心者プラン」に参加しました。当日は9：30に集合場所のロイヤルハワイアンホテルのプールサイドに行きました。受付後、10：00時のレッスン開始までスタンバイ。スタッフの方から注意を受けレッスンが始りました。初めて経験する「スタンドアップパドルサーフィン」ですが陸上でシュミレーションを行いいよいよ海に入ります。最初は緊張していましたが、徐々に慣れてスタンドアップ＆パドリングすることができました。あっという間の１時間レッスンでした。

I participated with my husband. It was my first time, but the staff were very kind and taught us well, which made me feel at ease. It seems that the plan was to practice in a nearby river first and then head to the beach once we got used to it, but unfortunately, on the day we participated, we couldn't go to the beautiful beach in Kailua due to strong winds. However, the river was fun, and we had a course where we went upstream and then came back down. While enjoying the scenery around us, the staff provided guided explanations, making it feel like an adventure, and it was really enjoyable. I would like to participate again.

主人と参加しました。
初めてでしたがスタッフの方が丁寧に教えてくれるので安心。
最初は近くの川で練習して慣れてきたらビーチに出るという行程のようですが
参加日は残念ながら強風でカイルアのキレイなビーチには出られませんでした。
でも、川も楽しくて下流から上流に上りまた戻って来るコース。
周りの景色を楽しみながら　スタッフの方のガイド説明もあり冒険みたいな感じでとても楽しかったです。
また参加したいです。

This was definately one of the best activities on our vacation. Our kids had a blast. My wife and I went along just to watch and had a lot of fun also. We were so glad that we had them take pictures for us as they turned out great. From our shuttle driver, to the office personnel, to the boat crew, everybody was wonderful. Highly recommend it!

I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first time surfing. The lesson was conducted in Japanese, and they provided advice on timing to catch the waves, so even as a beginner, I was able to ride the waves and had a lot of fun. The lesson lasted for one hour, which was just the right amount of time physically.

ハワイに何度も行っているが、はじめてのサーフィン。
レッスン内容は日本語で指導してくれて、波に乗るタイミングをアドバイスしてくれるので、はじめてだも波に乗ることができてとても楽しかったです。
レッスン時間が1時間でしたが、体力的にはちょうどいい時間でした。

The staff is very kind and fun.
very unique & exciting activity

The experience was amazing. The only complaint I have was that we were staying at the Mariot Waikiki and the van driver went to the Waikiki resort to pick us up. We could not find the driver or him us. When I talked with staff trying to locate himshe was rude and said if we did not find the driver in 2 mins he would leave us and there would be no refund.
We ended up finding him in about 10 mins. with the help of valet parkers from out hotel. He did not leave us Thank goodness. The van driver knew we were lost and waited. He was very nice. The staff on the boat were amazing. My 73 year old mother even parasailed and they acommadated her needs. : ) We were there on a make a wish trip, they allowed my 12 year old son who fought cancer last year to go up twice and to drive the boat. They were just amazing!

This was my second time surfing in Hawaii. I was drawn in by the cute name and made a reservation. I signed up for a group lesson, but there was only one student, so it turned into a completely private session! Yay~~ (*^^)v

The instructor was a boy who spoke a little Japanese, but it was so much fun. Even though I was a poor student, thanks to the instructor, I was able to ride the waves!!!

A photographer rode on a board and took pictures, so they were very dynamic and full of life.

My friends had separate plans for the day, but next time they said they would join this school too.

ハワイでのサーフィンは２回目。
かわいいネーミングに魅かれ、予約しました。
グループ・レッスンに申し込んだのですが、生徒はたった１人だったので、完全プライベート☆やったぁ~~(*^^)v

先生はボーイズで、日本語が少しでしたが、
とっても楽しかったです。
出来の悪い生徒だったのに、先生のおかげで波にも乗れました！！！

写真もカメラマンの方がボードに乗って撮ってくれたので、
とても臨場感あふれる写真でした。

友達とバラバラな１日だったのですが、次回は友達もこちらの
スクールに参加するって言ってました。

All the explanations beforehand are in English, but since each person is allowed to practice on the board on land, I think it will be understandable. The board is large and buoyant, and the staff will push you on the waves, so you will definitely be able to ride it. It would have been even better if there were several types of boards to choose from.

事前の説明はすべて英語ですが、陸で一人一人ボードに乗せて練習させてくれるので、理解出来ると思います。
ボードは大きなボードで浮力があり、波にはスタッフが押してくれるので、必ず乗れます。
板が数種類から選べれば尚良かったと思います。

A trolley came to pick us up and took us to the site, where we departed on a boat with ten people. Since we had to wait while others were flying, it was a good idea to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

I was unsure about the height difference, but I was glad I chose the 110-meter course. I probably wouldn't have noticed a difference even if it were increased by 20 meters...

Everyone made a slight splash in the sea. Some people only got their feet wet, but we ended up soaking our shirts. I heard that with a Dry Landing, you can avoid getting wet, but no one requested that.

Everyone bought an SD card for $30 for 40 photos. A total of 68 photos were taken, but the ones that were in focus...

It became a great memory.

トロリーで迎えが来て現地まで送ってくれ、10名ボートに乗って出発しました。他の人が飛んでいる間待つことになるので、酔い止めを飲んでおいたのは正解でした。

高さの違いで悩みましたが、110メートルコースでよかったです。おそらく、20メートル増やしても違いがわからない・・・

全員、海に少しだけ着水していました。足だけの人もいたけど、私たちはシャツまで濡れてしまいました。Dry Landing といえば、水に濡れずに済むみたいですが誰も頼んでいませんでした。

SDカードは40枚30ドルで全員買ってました。全部で68枚撮られていたけど、ピントが合ってるのは・・・

いい思い出になりました。

I think everyone should experience this at least once. It can be expensive, especially for the length of time you're actually gonna spend in the air. But if you're looking for something new (and does not easily get sea sick), this is for you.

This was my first time both in Hawaii and parasailing. The crew was efficient, and kind. The pictures they took were both well done and affordable. If I had to complain about anything, it would be the lack of life jackets for those who are in the boat. I would recommend this company to anyone planning a trip to Hawaii or looking to parasail.

I had requested a pickup and arrived at the designated location 10 minutes early, but even after waiting for 25 minutes, no one came to pick me up, which was very stressful. The voucher mentioned to call if they hadn't arrived 10 minutes after the scheduled time, but I didn't have a mobile phone that could make calls overseas, so I was really in a tough spot. However, after waiting a bit longer, they finally came to pick me up, and the lesson was so enjoyable that I forgot all about the morning's mishap! I took the lesson in a group, and since most of the participants were Japanese, we were able to chat and have fun together! Of course, whether it was the teacher's guidance or the wave conditions, I was able to stand up and had a great time!

ピックアップをお願いしていて、指定の場所に指定の時間の10分前に行って待ってたのに、25分待っても一向に迎えが来ず、とてもハラハラしました。
指定の時間の10分が過ぎて来なかったら電話するようにとバウチャーに書いてあったけど、まず海外で電話出来る携帯を持ってなかったので、とても困りました泣
でも、もう少し待ったら迎えに来てくれて、朝のそんなハプニングを忘れてしまうぐらい楽しいレッスンでした☆
グループで受けたのですが、ほとんど日本人だったので、なんとなくみんなで話しながら楽しめました！！
もちろん、先生の指導？波の状態？が良かったのか、立つことも出来てとっても楽しかったです◎

The service is only available for foreigners except during the document submission before boarding. After boarding, they seem to have memorized the explanation in Japanese and provide a brief explanation in broken Japanese. You can store your luggage at your feet on the boat. Since you may get splashed with water during the latter part of the parasailing, it's better to leave anything that shouldn't get wet at your feet. They don't insist on tips; they just casually say, "If you had fun, please consider tipping!" We paid a total of $40 for two people, including the $30 photo fee.

The acceleration of the boat at departure was fun, and I didn't feel any motion sickness at all.

The view from above was amazing!! I definitely want to do it again!

乗り込む前の書類提出時以外は外国人の方のみの対応です。
乗船後の説明も日本語の説明は暗記しているらしく、片言の日本語で説明してくれます。
荷物は船の足元に入れれるようになっています。
パラセーリング終盤に海に浸けられるので、頭から水をかぶる人もいるので、濡れては困るものはこの足元に置いて行った方がいいと思います。
チップは必要に要求してくることもなく、『楽しかったらチップお願いしまーす』と声かけしている程度でした。
30ドルの写真代と合わせて二人で40ドル払いました。

出発時の船の加速も楽しいし酔いも全くありませんでした。

空からの眺めは最高！！
また絶対やりたいです！

If you are taking your own transportation to Oahu Parasailing, leave early in order to be on time. It is easy to get lost or stuck in traffic. The staff is very friendly! If you get motion sick then you should take some Bonine or Dramamine before. You will be on a boat with 3-5 other groups. You might get motion sick waiting for everyone to take their turn parasailing. The boat Captain and riggers are really nice. They will prepare you and give you all the rules and safety precautions before. They take safety very seriously here so don't be offended if they yell at you for not following the rules. It's their job to make everyone feel safe and get everyone back to shore in one piece. This is very fun for everyone! It is a nice boat ride and parasailing tour. Do not bring expensive cameras out, you will be splashed by the waves. You won't be soaked after the boat ride, but it’s not worth the risk of ruining your expensive camera. They offer a photo package for 30 dollars. I purchased the

I previously went to Kailua by bus, and with the waiting time and transfers, it took about two hours from Waikiki. The tour shuttle bus arrived in about 30 minutes from the hotel, which I thought was a significant advantage for making effective use of time.

It was a guided kayak tour, so I had to go on my own after watching a video, but I couldn't remember everything perfectly since I needed to pay attention to both the visuals and subtitles. However, when I later asked the staff about things I didn't understand, they kindly explained everything, which made me feel at ease before setting off.

Carrying the kayak to the water was quite challenging for two women and took some time, but we managed. The launch site for kayaking was designated, and the staff helped us out.

We kayaked to the nearest uninhabited island, landed, and surprisingly stayed longer than expected because there were birds and great views. We even encountered a turtle along the way, and we completed the round trip to the uninhabited island without capsizing. For lunch, we could choose from several places, and I picked pizza, which I heard was popular among locals, and it was a satisfying meal.

After that, I really wanted to go to Lanikai Beach, so I rented a bike for $10 and got there in less than an hour, hurriedly took some photos, and dipped my feet in the ocean before heading back. The cycling route was fantastic, allowing me to enjoy the sea and greenery.

Although I didn't use them, I was pleased that snorkeling gear and mats were available for free, and bike rentals were half price. Overall, it was a tour that my friends and I were very satisfied with.

カイルアには、以前、自力でバスで行きましたが、待ち時間や乗継入れると、ワイキキから2時間くらいかかりました。
ツアーの送迎バスでは、ホテルから30分程で到着し、時間を有効に使えるのは大きなメリットだと思いました。
ガイドなしのカヤックツアーだったので、ビデオをみて自力で行くのですが、映像も字幕もみないとなので、完璧には覚えられませんでした。後から、スタッフの方にわからないことを聞くと親切に教えてくれたので、安心して出発することができました。
カヤックを水辺まで運ぶのが女2人だとなかなか大変で時間もかかりましたが、どうにかなりました。海でのカヤックの発着場所が決まっていて、スタッフの方が助けてくれました。
カヤックで、一番近い無人島までいき上陸、鳥がいたり、眺めがよかったりで意外と長居しました。途中亀に遭遇することもできて、転覆することなく無人島の往復でカヤックは終了しました。お昼は何店舗からか選べて、地元でも評判だと聞きピザを選び、満足なランチでした。
その後、どうしてもラニカイビーチに行きたかったので、10ドルで自転車を借り、1時間足らずで行ってあわただしく写真撮って少し海につかって帰ってきました。サイクリングコースも海や緑を感じられて最高でした。
使う機会はありませんでしたが、シュノーケルやゴザなど無料で借りられるのはうれしく、レンタサイクルも半額でした。
友達ともども大満足のツアーでした。
