All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

We participated as a group of three.

We joined with high expectations, as it was advertised that the rope length is 150 meters, the longest in Hawaii.

Since the parachute is pulled by a boat, it felt more like flying far from the boat rather than going high up.

The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from above was wonderful.

However, both of my companions seemed to experience mild seasickness and parachute sickness, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who are concerned.

ｸﾞﾙｰﾌﾟ3名で参加しました。

ﾛｰﾌﾟの長さが150mと
ﾊﾜｲで一番の長さとの触れ込みで
期待して参加しました。

ﾊﾟﾗｼｭｰﾄが船で引かれるためか、
高くあがるというより、船から遠くで
飛ぶという感覚でした。

上空から見るﾜｲｷｷの街並みやﾀﾞｲﾔﾓﾝﾄﾞﾍｯﾄﾞは
素晴らしかったです。

ただ、同乗した二人とも、
軽く船酔い&ﾊﾟﾗｼｭｰﾄ酔いしたみたいで、
心配な人は酔い止めの服用をお奨めします。

I participated in a group.

It was my first experience, but since all the explanations were in English, I had to rely mostly on gestures to understand before heading out to sea, which made me a bit anxious.

It feels like it would be tough if you don't speak English.

The staff will tell you the timing for takeoff, so it doesn't take long, and anyone can catch a wave.

I will participate again if I have the chance!!

ｸﾞﾙｰﾌﾟで参加しました。

初体験だったのですが、
説明がすべて英語だったので、
ほぼ身振り手振りで覚えて海に出たため、
多少不安もありました。

英語ができないと苦労する感じです。

ｽﾀｯﾌがﾃｲｸｵﾌのﾀｲﾐﾝｸﾞを教えてくれるので
そんなに時間がかからず、誰でも波に乗れますよ。

また機会があれば参加します!!

Lots of fun! Good experience! Pictures and Video offered turned out great. I would do this again!

This activity was a great experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made sure everyone had a safe and fun experience. I would do this activity again! After our trip we were allowed to use either snorkle gear or bicycles until out tour bus picked us up. Staff is very polite and attentive!

I thought it would be difficult, but it was even more challenging than I expected. It reminded me of the first time I went skiing. I was only able to stand up twice. I want to challenge myself again for a revenge attempt.

難しいとは思っていましたが予想以上でした。初めてスキーをやった時を思いだしました。立てたのはわずか2回。リベンジでまた挑戦したいと思っております。

There was a strong current flowing sideways from the starting point to the remote island, which made it tough.

出発点から離島まで横に流れがあり、きつかった。

I totally recommend this to anyone with a sense of adventure! The employees at the ticket booth were friendly and helpful. The boat captain and the guy in charge of strapping everyone in were very skilled, knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone was punctual and professional. I went with my husband and father and they were happy to let us ride all together. We were 550 pounds all together and were slightly over the limit but they weren't remotely worried about it. We purchased the 850ft rope and I wish I had gone with the 1000ft. I was worried about the height but it was great! We had things going on later in the day and asked for a "dry landing", they did AWESOME. I wore shorts and a t-shirt but was prepared with extra clothes if I did get wet... (and I really expected to...) but despite the STRONG winds and high waves we were hitting they easily provided us what we asked. Other groups experienced getting their legs dipped to having their whole bodies practically dunked... they'll try to

A few years ago, I signed up for a "surfing experience" here. This time was my second, but since I'm still almost a beginner, I took a beginner lesson. Because the other participants were late, it ended up being a group lesson for just the two of us, which felt like a private lesson. The instructor was friendly and easy to talk to. My Japanese is at a word level, but it wasn't a problem.

As for surfing itself, the instructor pushed me from behind and helped me with the timing, which made it really easy to ride the waves (though it felt a bit like cheating...). I think they will adjust the lessons as your level improves, so I believe it's a great place.

The receptionist speaks Japanese, so I think it's fine even if you're worried about your English. Next time I go, I definitely want to take a lesson here again.

数年前に１回「体験サーフィン」としてここのを申し込みました。
今回は２回目だけどほぼ初心者ということで初心者用レッスンをしてもらいました。
他の参加者が寝坊？だったために二人でグループレッスン＝蝉プライベートでした。
先生は気さくで話をしやすかったです。
日本語は単語レベルですが、問題ありませんでした。

サーフィン自体は、先生が後ろから押してくれて、タイミングを教えてくれるという形なのですごく楽に波に乗れました（インチキですが・・・）。
レベルがあがればそれにあわせて教えてくれると思うので、いいところだと思います。

受付の人は日本語問題ないので、英語に不安があっても大丈夫だと思いますよ。
次回、また行く時にはぜひここでレッスンを受けたいと思いました。

I was very satisfied with the 90-minute cruise while enjoying the view of Waikiki Beach. I was able to relax and forget about time.

９０分のワイキキビーチを眺めながらのクルージングに大満足。
時間を忘れながらのんびり出来ました。

I visited Kailua last January, and since I only did sightseeing then and didn't swim, I made sure to participate this time with the intention of definitely getting into the ocean.

The wind was strong and it was a bit chilly, but I was able to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

There were quite a few participants, but the staff at the shop were efficient in giving instructions, which minimized any time loss, and that was great.

On the way to the beach, I bought breakfast at a small market and enjoyed it on the beach, which was delicious. (I later found out it was a famous market.)

The pizza for lunch was also tasty. The lady at the pizza shop was a fun person.

It was a last-minute trip, but with Alan1, I was able to confirm my reservation immediately, making it easy to plan. I would like to use their services again. Thank you very much.

カイルアには昨年１月に行き、その時は観光のみで泳がなかったので、この次は絶対海に入るぞっと思い、参加しました。

風が強く、少し肌寒かったですが、綺麗な景色でのんびりできました。

結構沢山の参加者でしたが、ショップの方はテキパキと指示されて時間のロスも無く良かったです。

ショップからビーチまで歩いて行く間にある、小さなマーケットで朝ごはんを買ってビーチで食べたのも、美味しかったです。
（あとから有名なマーケットだったとわかりました。）

お昼のピザも美味しかったです。ピザのお店のおばさんも楽しい人でした。

急に決めた旅行でしたが、Alan１さんは申し込み即確約できて、プランが立て易かったです。またお世話になりたいです。有難うございました。

This time, there were only my husband and me on the guided tour. My husband has kayaking experience, but I was a beginner. The guide kindly taught me how to get into the kayak and how to use the paddle. With a spirited "Let's get to it!" we walked for about three minutes with our gear, and in front of us was the beautiful blue ocean of Kailua, welcoming us with a sea turtle! It was so cute popping its head out of the water. However, there was no time to be amazed as I nervously got into the kayak and set off into the open sea. We paddled hard, following the guide towards an uninhabited island about 300-400 meters away. Despite the headwind, as we paddled, another sea turtle swam nearby! In a moment of surprise, we forgot to paddle and exclaimed, "Wow!!!" After a brief moment of excitement, I quickly returned to focus, being careful not to hit the turtle with my paddle, and we paddled for another 20 minutes before safely arriving at the island. The guide explained in detail why this island was formed, the habits of migratory birds, and that it is a protected area. Along the way, we found a pair of migratory birds in a hole and discovered crab shells, all while having a great time walking around the island. After that, we expressed our desire to go snorkeling at Lanikai, and the guide happily agreed, so we got back into the kayak. Paddling from the island to Lanikai Beach was challenging as we had to paddle at a right angle to the waves to avoid being swept onto the sandy beach. Fortunately, we encountered another sea turtle along the way. This time it was a baby turtle, small and adorable! We couldn't believe how lucky we were to see so many turtles as we made our way to "Heavenly Sea." Lanikai has many coral reefs, making it a perfect spot for snorkeling! We enjoyed snorkeling with the guide, greeted by small fish, large fish, and colorful fish, which made all the paddling fatigue disappear. Although I’m not very good at swimming and couldn’t go far, the guide was thrilled, saying, "Look at this big fish (about a meter long)!" After about 15 minutes of snorkeling, we took pictures together and had a blast! The two-hour tour went by in a flash, and we kayaked back to Kailua, where we said goodbye to the guide. After that, we had lunch at a pizza place and enjoyed some free time. Of course, we returned to Kailua Beach afterward!

今回、ガイドさん付きのツアーは私達夫婦一組だけ。夫はカヤック経験者だけど、私は初。そんな私のためにカヤックの乗り方、パドルの使い方を丁寧に教えてくれました。『実践あるのみダネ~♪』と意気揚々と道具を持ち、海へと歩くこと3分ほど。目の前にはカイルアの青い青い海が広がっていて、海ガメさんがお出迎え♪顔を水面から出したりしててカワイイ~。が、、、感動する暇もさほどなく、おっかなびっくりカヤックに乗っていざ大海原へ。。300~400m離れた無人島を目指してひたすらガイドさんについて漕ぐ、漕ぐ、漕ぐ。。向かい風にも負けず漕いでいると、ゆらゆらと別の海ガメさんが近くを泳いでる!!まさかの遭遇に、漕ぐのを一瞬忘れ二人で『おぉ~~~っっ!!!』と大騒ぎ!!感動も束の間、ふと我に返りパドルを亀さんにぶつけないように気をつけながら再び漕ぐこと20分。島に無事に到着♪なぜこの島が出来たのかとか、渡り鳥の習性、保護地区であることを詳しく教えてくれました。途中、穴の中に渡り鳥のツガイを見つけたり、カニの抜け殻を見つけたり、大騒ぎしながら一周歩きました。その後、ラニカイへ渡ってシュノーケルをしたい、という私達の希望をガイドさんは快く引き受けてくれて、再びカヤックへ。島からラニカイビーチまでは波に対して直角に漕ぐので、砂浜に流されないようにするのが大変だった･･。嬉しいことに、その途中でも海ガメさんに遭遇。今度は子ガメで、小さくて可愛かったぁ~(*^^*)こんなに会えるなんて思ってもみなかっただけに、ラッキーなことこの上ないね、と話しながら『天国の海』へ。ラニカイはサンゴ礁がたくさんあって、シュノーケルには絶好の場所！ガイドさんと一緒にシュノーケルを楽しみました。小さな魚や大きな魚、色とりどりの魚たちが出迎えてくれてさっきまで漕ぎまくった疲れも吹っ飛びましたね。泳ぎがあまり得意ではなく、遠くまでは行けなかったけどガイドさんは『こ~んな大きな魚（1メートルくらい）がイタヨ！』と大喜びでした☆
15分ほどシュノーケルを楽しみ、写真を3人で撮り合い、大騒ぎしてとても楽しかった~!!!!2時間のﾂｱｰｶﾞｲﾄﾞもあっという間で、再びカヤックでカイルアへ向かい、Shopへ戻ってガイドさんとはお別れ･･･。その後はピザ屋さんでのランチとフリータイム。ランチ後はもちろん再びカイルアビーチに戻りましたが♪キレ

When the catamaran first set sail, I relaxed while slowly enjoying the view of Waikiki Beach with a Mai Tai in hand! However, once we got out to sea, the waves were high, and the boat swayed significantly back and forth, making it very difficult to stand. Many people got splashed and soaked... it was full of thrills. (I'm not sure if this is always the case...)

カタマランが出帆した当初はワイキキビーチの景色をゆっくり見ながらマイタイを口に含み十分リラックス！ところが沖に出ると波が高く前後左右に大きく揺れ、とても立って居られません。波しぶきを浴び、びしょ濡れになった人も多く・・・スリル満点でした。（いつもなのかどうかは分かりませんが・・）

Wonderful time out on the water, Capt. Andrew was wonderful as well as his crew, they were fabulous!! Would definately go again!!

I went to Hawaii for the first time.

We rode a boat with about ten people, but everyone except us was speaking in English, which made me a bit anxious. (They provide the minimum necessary information in broken Japanese.)

Also, the return bus pickup was not smooth, and for us who don't understand English, we were somewhat worried, wondering, "When will they come to pick us up?" "Will they even come to pick us up?" "Are we waiting in the wrong place?"

The staff there will take photos of you while parasailing for $30, so if you want photos, it's better to bring some money. (We only had the bare minimum, so we couldn't buy any.)

The parasailing itself was very enjoyable, and I was extremely satisfied!! Next time, I plan to bring enough money to participate properly.

初めてハワイに行きました。

１０人ぐらいでボートに乗って海にでるのですが、
私たち以外全員英語で会話をしているので、弱冠不安でした。
（最低限必要な情報は片言の日本語で説明してくれます）

また帰りのバスの迎えもスムーズではなく、英語がわからない私たちにとっては「いつ迎えにくるのだろう？」「そもそも迎えにきてくれるのだろうか？」「待ってる場所が違うのかな？」など多少不安にかられました。

向こうのスタッフがパラセイリング中の写真を＄３０で撮ってくれるので、写真を希望する方はお金を持って行った方がいいです。（私達は必要最低限のお金しかもっていなかったので、買えませんでした。）


パラセイリング自体はとても楽しく大満足です！！
次回はちゃんとお金を持って、参加しようと思います。

my daughters, both in mid 20's, enjoyed the parasailing, said AMAZING!
my experience was a little unnerving, as I knew what not todo, but wasn't sure what TO DO, couldn't relax for fear of doing wrong thing....More specifics on how one can lean, turn or shift weight, hand position on straps...would be helpful, but perhaps I'll venture To try again.....

My kids had a blast!! The minute we arrived, Chris was there to greet us and within minutes my kids were on the banana boat having the time of their lives. They fell off couple of times when the banana boat zipped over the wakes but they swam back, got back on and did it all over again! My kids told me the best part was the bumper tube, they all had some incredible air time LOL. This is such a great activity and as a parent to see my kids have fun, smile and tell me they had soooooooooo much fun..such an incredible feeling! I will definitely recommend this to everyone I know!!!

The sea was very beautiful, and all the staff were kind, so I had a great time!! Kayaking was the best!! I hope to come again this year!!

海がとても綺麗でスタッフもみんな親切で、とても楽しかったです！！カヤック最高！！
今年もまたお願いします！！

I participated in a semi-private lesson with my 11-year-old child. The description states "children who can understand Japanese from age 5 and above," but the application form only displayed a pricing option for "adults aged 14 and above," which raised the question, "Can children participate?" When I inquired by phone, I was told that "for group lessons, we require participants to be 14 years or older." I think it would be better if this information was presented more clearly.

There are Japanese staff members at the office, so you can inquire in Japanese if you have any questions. The lesson coach is a foreigner and does not speak Japanese fluently. However, during the lesson, they provide instructions in simple English and also use Japanese for commands like "right" and "stand up." I think it's okay even if you're not good at English, but it might not be suitable for those who are looking for complete Japanese support.

The lesson content is very kind, and at first, they push out the board at just the right timing, so you can stand on the board relatively quickly. My child doesn't have great athletic ability, but by the third wave, they were able to stand up and had a lot of fun.

I thought the price for the two-hour lesson was a bit high, but since they teach with great care, I would recommend it for complete beginners. For subsequent lessons or for adults only, I think group lessons would be fine.

You cannot bring valuables, but they sell a CD-ROM with lesson photos for $30 afterward.

　11歳の子供とふたりでセミプライベートレッスンに参加しました。
　説明に「5歳以上の日本語が理解できる子供」と書いてあるのですが、申し込みフォームには「14歳以上から大人」という料金選択しか表示されず、「子供も参加できるのか？」という疑問があり電話で問い合わせをしたところ「グループレッスンの場合は14歳以上を求めている」ということでした。もう少しわかりやすい表示があればよいと思いました。
　事務所には日本人スタッフがおり、わからないことは日本語で問い合わせをすることができます。レッスンコーチは外国人で、流暢に日本語を話す、というレベルではありません。しかしレッスン自体は簡単な英会話と、「右」とか「立ってー」とかは日本語で指示してくれます。英会話が苦手でも大丈夫だと思いますが、完全に日本語サポートを求めるかたにはむいていないかもしれません。
　レッスン内容はとても親切で、最初はちょうどいいタイミングでボードを押し出してくれるのでわりとすぐボードの上に立てるようになります。子供もあまり運動神経がいい方ではありませんが、3回目くらいの波から立ち上がることが出来てとても楽しんでいました。
　２時間のレッスン料金としてはすこし高いと思いましたが、とても親身になって教えてくれるので、まったく初めて、という方にはおすすめします。
　２回目以降や大人だけだったらグループレッスンでもいいと思います。
　貴重品は持っていけないのですが、レッスン写真を撮ったCD−ROMを１枚＄３０であとから販売してくれます。

What an experience... I have a fear of heights that I've developed with age... This is NOT scary, this is simply amazing. I felt completely safe and seeing the crystal clear blue water from a couple of hundred feet up in the air was unbelievable. It's quiet up in the air, extremely serene, you can take in the beauty of the cove, the reef and mountains in such a different way. 10 mins up in the air is actually a surprisingly long time - even when you skydive you generally hit the ground within a few minutes so this way you actually get to appreciate the view, with the adrenalin rush of leaving the boat and being so high, feet dangling! what makes these guys different is that they take A LOT of photos and they have a camera attached to the parachute - it's worth buying at the end - they're great quality. The team is fantastic... definitely want to go out with them again and try the other activities... thanks Seabreeze!!!

It was more fun and faster than it looked from a distance! Taking photos before getting on was a great memory.

遠目で見るよりスピードもあり、楽しかったです！乗る前に写真を撮ってもらいよい記念です。

You won't have the luxury to enjoy the scenery; it's incredibly thrilling!!!
The highest point is the same as the observation deck of Tokyo Tower…!
Well… if you're looking for a unique experience that you can only get overseas, this is the best.
If you don't mind heights but are a bit hesitant about it, you should prepare yourself.
People with acrophobia should think carefully (laughs).
Make sure to take motion sickness medication! Also, depending on the roughness of the waves, it might be impossible to take photos or videos, so it's a good idea to prepare $30 to have the guy take pictures for you.
Don't forget to tip. The photos turned out great◎
It might be worth experiencing at least once.

景色を見る余裕もなく、めちゃくちゃスリリング！！！
最高の高さは東京タワーの大展望台と同じ…！
まあ…海外ならではの経験を求めるならコレはベストだよ。
ただ高い所は嫌いじゃないけどあんまりな~…な人は覚悟した方がいい。
高所恐怖症の人はよく考えて(笑)
酔い止めは必ず！あと、写真やビデオカメラは波の荒れ方によっては撮影不可能だから30ドル用意してお兄さんに写真を撮ってもらうのがいいですよ。
チップも忘れずに。いい写真撮れてた◎
一度は経験してもいいかもね。

I had friends visiting the islands, and they wanted to do something a bit different, and 'off the beaten path' so I decided to take them Ocean Kayaking over in Kailua! We headed out, a bit late, and got there and the staff at Kailua Sailboards and Kayaks were amazing and friendly, telling us all the best insider tips for kayaking out there! We got out into the ocean, and it was extremely windy and choppy, but it was so much fun heading out to Flat Island and then over to the beach for a bit of relaxing snorkeling and sunbathing. Thanks again to the great staff at Kailua Sailboards for all their help with everything kayak and ocean related, my friends and I had a blast braving the elements and spending the day out on the water!

My husband and I loved this! We were hoping to have a little more freedom of where to go for the jetski part, but all the same it was fantastic! The parasailing was AMAZING!!! The colors of the ocean were breathtaking! The staff were incredible as well! Worth every penny and one of the best combo packs we went on!

The crew was excellent. They encouraged without pushing past your comfort zone.

This was my third time parasailing, and it's always fun no matter how many times I do it. I didn't feel seasick, and I think anyone can enjoy it. I want to go parasailing again when I visit Hawaii!

パラセイリングは3回目でしたが何回やっても楽しいです。船酔いもなく、だれでも楽しめるとおもいます。ハワイに行った際にはまたパラセイリングをしたいです！

I was so glad i did it!! I was a bit nervous at first, only chose 600ft line. It was an amazing view, amazing weather, and felt very safe! My dad can't swim - doesn't usually get into the water and afraid of heights, but he himself loved it!! If we were in Hawaii another day, I would have done it again but upgraded to the full 1000ft! I also liked the fact that this company is very safe! They cancelled my first reservation due to high winds & I'm glad they did because the second reservation I made, the weather was PERFECT!! Beautiful skies, water was amazing, and we got to see whales! Loved every moment of it!! Felt so free!!

The wind was strong, and kayaking was more challenging than I expected, but it wasn't as tough as club activities.

The ocean was truly beautiful, and I even encountered a sea turtle while swimming along the way.

Our guide was an American who spoke Japanese, and he was full of humor, making it a fun experience.

風が強く、カヤックは思ったより大変でしたが、部活ほどではありません。

海が、本当に美しく、途中泳いでいるウミガメにも出会いました。

ガイドさんは、日本語を話すアメリカ人で、ユーモアたっぷりで楽しめました。

I was scared, but she was really happy, so I'm satisfied.

自分は恐かったが彼女はすごくよろこんでいたので満足です。

We had no idea what to do the last day of our vacation, I am so glad the staff at Hawaiiactivities.com mentioned "Well why don't you guys do some Parasailing!"... this activity totally reeked of AWESOMENESS!!

This was my wife's first time parasailing, she screamed, but she loved it!. We had a terriffic time! The crew was great and even let my wife drive the boat around the Waikiki Coastline.

My friend and I had a great time. We biked from Kailua to Lanikai and did a little snorkeling and then back to Kailua for a little R&R on the beach.Kailua was one of the best beaches we went to, great water and sand.... wish we did the kayaks but I guess it's best to reserve something for next time!
