Oahu
I rode with my husband, daughter, and grandchildren. I was very scared before getting on, but after we went up, it felt great, and the view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sea was wonderful. The staff's response was also enjoyable, making it a great memory.
主人と娘や孫と乗りました。乗る前はとても怖かったですが、上がった後はとても気持ち良く、海からワイキキの浜とダイヤモンドヘッドが臨めて素晴らしかったです。スタッフの対応も楽しく良い思い出になりました。
We participated as a couple and chose this tour because it offers longer free time compared to other tours, along with a good price and lockers. I had been to Kailua once before, but this time I wanted to visit "Boots & Kimo's," famous for its pancakes, and hoped to explore Kailua Town as well.
After arriving in Kailua, I debated whether to bike or walk, and ultimately decided to walk to Boots & Kimo's, which took about 20 minutes. I got pancakes to-go and enjoyed them for breakfast on the beach, and they were incredibly delicious!
Kailua has such beautiful waters! Waikiki is nice too, but coming here feels completely different. On the day we participated, there were many small waves, which didn't seem ideal for boogie boarding, but my husband was able to see a turtle while swimming. You can also rent snorkeling gear, so I think it's good to check the wave conditions before deciding.
After spending about an hour in Kailua, we rented bikes (Kailua Sailboards & Kayaks offers rentals for tour participants at around $11 each) and headed to the neighboring Lanikai Beach. Lanikai Beach has a milky emerald sea! The beauty of the ocean alone lifts your spirits. The last time I walked to Lanikai Beach, I was exhausted, so I recommend biking instead.
For lunch, we could choose between a boxed lunch or pizza, and I opted for the pizza recommended by the staff. I was surprised at how big it was!
The four hours flew by. With the long free time, we could visit the town and Lanikai, making it a great option for repeat visitors. There are Japanese staff members, and the presence of lockers, restrooms, and changing rooms adds to the overall sense of security, making it a very good experience.
夫婦で参加しましたが、自由時間が他のツアーよりも長い&価格&ロッカー付きということでこちらのツアーに決めました。
以前にも1度カイルアにいったことがありましたが、今回はパンケーキが有名な「ブーツアンドキモズ」にも行ってみたくカイルアタウンにもいけたらなと思っていました。
カイルアに到着後自転車か徒歩か悩んだ末、徒歩でブーツアンドキモズへ行ってみましたが、歩いても20分くらいでした。
パンケーキをTOGOしてビーチで朝食にいただきましたがすごく美味しかったです!!
カイルアはとても綺麗な海です!ワイキキもきれいだけど、こちらに来ると、全然ちがうな~と感じました。
参加した日は小さい波が沢山くるような感じで、ブギーボードはあまり適してなかったように感じましたが、旦那さんは普通に泳いでいたら亀をみれたようです。シュノーケルのセットもレンタルもできるので、波の状態を見てきめるのも良いと思います。
1時間ほどカイルアにいてから、レンタル自転車(カイルアセイルボード&カヤックで、ツアー参加者は1台11ドルくらいで借りれました)を借りて隣のラニカイビーチに行ってきました。
ラニカイビーチのほうが、ミルキーエメラルド!な海です。海が美しくてそれだけでテンションがあがります↑
ラニカイビーチまで、以前行ったときは歩いたのですがヘトヘトになってしまったので、自転車のほうがおすすめです。
ランチはボックスランチかピザが選べましたが、担当の方がお勧めしてくれたピザをチョイス。すごくおおきくてびっくり!!
あっという間の4時間でした。
フリーな時間が長いのでタウンに行ったりラニカイに行ったりもでき、リピーターさんにもお勧めです。
日本人スタッフもいますし、ロッカーやトイレ、更衣室などもしっかりついているので安心度も高くとても良かったです。
When I participated, there were seven foreigners and four Japanese people. There was also an explanation in Japanese, and I had a lot of fun. If you pay an additional $30, the staff over there will take photos with their camera. They gave me the photos along with an SD card. I think it's a good deal since I got 140 photos with a 2GB card. It seems that it’s also possible for three people, as the foreign guests were a couple with a child.
私が参加した時は外国人7人と日本人4人でした。
日本語の説明もあり、かなり楽しめました。
オプションで30ドル払うと、向こうのスタッフのカメラで写真をとってくれます。
その写真はSDカードごとくれました。2Gのカード付で140枚も写真をとってもらえたので、お得だと思います。
外国の方は夫婦+子供で3人で飛んでいたので、3人も可能なようです。
What a fun activity! I had a great time, all the staff was super nice and getting to hang out on the barge and go for a swim after the activity was great. I didn't expect it to be as fun as it was, but boy was I wrong. It was my 1st time riding a jet ski and the staff there made sure to go over everything with me until I was comfortable. They even have a camera that they attach to the front of the jet ski that takes a picture every so often of you while your driving. Defintatly a great thing if your a first timer like my self! Check out Sea Breeze, you wont be disappointed!
Great experience!!! Very peaceful while up in the air. Water landing was excellent!
I tried parasailing for the first time with him. At first, the staff told us, "Not this boat! That one!" and it was quite chaotic. In the end, we were able to get on the boat, but it felt a bit invasive.
Parasailing was so much fun! Due to the weather, only two groups, including us, were able to fly... but we were lucky to be the last ones to board the boat despite our packed schedule!
I was nervous until we took off, but the beautiful view of Waikiki and the round rainbow we saw when looking down were amazing!
Since we understood English, we were able to enjoy it, but it might be a bit inconvenient for those who don't speak English. They speak quickly, and I think you might wonder what they are saying.
I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication.
It became a really great memory!☆
彼と一緒に始めてパラセイリングをしてみました。
はじめにスタッフの人に
“こっちの船じゃない!あっちだ!”
と追いやられ、てんやわんやでした。
結局船には乗せてもらえましたがちょっと侵害でした。
パラセイリングはとっても楽しかったです!
お天気の関係で私たちを含めて2組しか飛べませんでしたが…予定びっしりの私たちが一番最後に船に乗り込めてラッキーでした!
飛ぶまではどきどきでしたが、ワイキキのきれいな景色と、なんといっても下を見下ろしたときに見れた丸い虹は最高でした!
英語がわかる私たちだったので楽しめましたが、
英語がわからないとちょっと不便です。
早口ですし、何言ってるのかなぁ?って思ってしまうと思います。
酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。
とっても良い思い出になりました☆
On the day of the kayaking, the sea had quite a few waves, but we somehow managed to reach Flat Island. It was about a 500-meter distance. At first, I was a bit intimidated by the strength of the waves and wind, but thanks to the instructor's careful guidance, everyone made it to the island safely. If the sea had been a bit calmer, we might have enjoyed it more leisurely, but the memory of paddling hard to get across is also a good one.
When I returned to the hotel, my abs and legs were sore, making it a bit tough to get up in the morning. Well, that's also a good memory.
カヤック当日の海は、結構波があったのですが、なんとかフラット島までたどり着けました。距離にして500メートルぐらいでした。始めは波と風の強さにちょっとびびってましたが、インストラクターの丁寧な指導で、無事に全員島まで渡れました。もうちょっと海が静かだったら、もっと余裕を持って楽しめたかもしれませんが、必死でパドルして渡った思い出もいい物でした。
ホテルに戻ったら、腹筋と足が筋肉痛で朝起きるのがちょっとしんどかったです。まあ、それも良い思い出です。
On my husband's strong recommendation, we decided to try kayaking as a couple. I honestly wasn't very enthusiastic at first, thinking, "We're definitely going to capsize!!! This is scary!!!" However, once we actually tried it, it was a lot of fun. They taught us carefully, and fortunately, we didn't capsize (laughs). The beach was very beautiful, and it was great for relieving our lack of exercise.
At Flat Island, we were able to see birds in their nests, and we all enjoyed eating a grass that had a strange taste (it was similar to olives and quite delicious). Besides kayaking, we had a great time. By the way, we chose pizza for our set lunch, and it was a fantastic choice! I heard that spinach pizza is quite popular♪
主人の強い希望で、夫婦でカヤックに挑戦しました。
絶対転覆する!!!怖い!!!と、正直最初は乗り気ではなかったのですが、実際にやってみるととても楽しかったです。
丁寧に教えてくれますし、幸い転覆もしませんでした(笑)
ビーチはとても綺麗で、運動不足の解消にもなってよかったです。
フラットアイランドでは巣穴の中にいる鳥も見られたし、不思議な味のする(オリーブに似ていて結構美味しかった)草をみんなで食べたりと、カヤック以外も楽しめました。
ちなみにセットのランチはピザを選択したのですが、大正解でした☆
ほうれん草のピザが人気なんだそうです♪
The last time I went kayaking was at Catalina Island, we didn't even get wet. I was not prepared for this adventure at all. It was a lot of work I could not have done it without my husband. There was a single girl in our group it was her first time and she had a really tough time. It was soooo windy, they don't call it the windward side of the island for fun apparently. The guides were great. Helpful, friendly, and encouraging. But the wind was horrible. Maybe we were really just there on an unusual day but you may want to check and see about other kayaking adventures I hear the secret island one is awesome. The lunch was quite yummy, it was sandwich wraps, soda, chips, water, and granola bars too. The beach we stopped at was pretty and the snorkeling was fun but it was hard to see much. When we made it to the island and got out of our kayaks a huge gust of wind came and the sand hit our legs like a sandblaster! Not cool. When we walked around to the backside of the island
We thought we could hike to the waterfall and then go snorkeling. From what I had read that would be a possibility. Both were morning options. He parked centrally then we walked to meet him. For the price I should not have expected to be taken to each destination I suppose, but I did. Still we had a good time and swimming in the waterfall was GREAT
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Capt. Jon and crew. As a sailor, my enjoyment was enhanced by Capt. Jon's tales of building the vessel and sailing itr from the Caribbean to Hawaii. He is justly proud having built a beautiful and very comfortable boat. As hoped, we were able to watch whales within sight of the beautiful Hawaiian coast and also enjoyed some great sailing. Great trip, great boat and great crew and great value!
This was my fifth time going to Hawaii, but it was my first time parasailing. The time spent in the air is about 10 minutes, but the motorboat moves quickly, and it's fun because you can also enjoy whale watching while you're on it. Up in the sky, the movement is slow, so from below, it looks like you're going quite high, but it's not scary at all. There was no shaking either. I want to do it again.
ハワイに行くのは5回目でしたが、パラセイリングは初めてでした。上空にいる時間は10分ぐらいですが、モーターボートは進むのが早く、ホエールウォッチングも兼ねて乗っていられるので楽しいです。空の上では進むのがゆっくりので、下から見ていると結構高くまで上がっているのですが、全く恐くありません。揺れもありませんでした。もう一度やりたいです。
It was an exciting activity that I was nervous to participate in, but I'm glad I did! The time spent in the air felt like it was over in an instant, and it didn't even seem like 10 minutes. It was a surreal experience, especially with airplanes flying nearby! Additionally, on the way to the parasailing point, I even got to see whales! I felt like I got a bonus with the whale watching. I highly recommend it!
どきどきして参加したアクテビティでしたが、参加してよかったです!
空中にいる時間はあっという間で、10分も無い感じでしたが、
近くを飛行機が飛んでいたり、非日常的な不思議な体験でした!
また、パラセイルのポイントまで行く間にくじらも見れました!!
ホエールウォッチングまで出来てなんだか得した気分です。
ぜひおすすめです。
I've lived in Waikiki for the last 5 years, a block from beach, and watched the para-sailers every day. It was always on my to do list but I never made the time. After finally doing it, I wish I had done it sooner! It's such a fun and beautiful experience. Not only do you get to parasail, you get the boat ride and the view of Waikiki from the ocean! We also saw whales jumping which was really the icing on the cake. Being able to float above Waikiki was scenic and peaceful and a rush, all at the same time. The crew is very talented and a make the experience fun as well. What an amazing feeling as you lift off the back of the boat and gently float up. A must do!
I have lived in Waikiki for the last 5 years and always wanted to Kayak but never tried. My son took me on this great Kayak outing and we really enjoyed ourselves! I'm 46 and was a little concerned about being in good enough shape to handle Kayaking in the ocean, but the Kailua beaches are protected by coral reefs and the waves were never a problem. The area is gorgeous and being able to paddle out to bird sanctuary was a real treat. The folks at Oahu Kayaking are very friendly and knowledgeable. Watching the video before we set out helped to put my fears at ease. This is a perfect activity for singles, couples, families or even a quiet solo outing. All in all, a great way to spend the day!
This was my first time parasailing. We took the 800 foot flight and enjoyed a good 10 minutes in the air. The view was amazing the the crew was very friendly. A Must Do.
The feeling when you suddenly ascend from the boat is amazing! Even up in the sky, it was much more stable and safe than I expected! The instructor was unique, and even if you can't speak English, it's okay! They take photos for $15, which I also recommend!
船から、一気に上昇する時の気分は最高!空の上でも、思ったより全然安定していて安全でした!インストラクターの外人さんもユニークで、英語ができなくても、大丈夫!$15で写真を撮ってくれるので、それもお勧めです!
It was a bit cold on the day, but it was a wonderful experience. The view from over the sea was amazing. However, the photos I opted for didn't turn out very well. I guess it's because they were taken from far away...
当日は少し寒かったけれど、素敵な体験でした。
海の上から眺める景色は最高です。
ただ、オプションで申し込んだ写真はあまりよく映っていませんでした。
遠いから仕方ないのかな・・・・。
I took my wife on a self guided, 4hr, tour. The location was fairly easy to find with the help of GPS. About 45 min, with traffic, from Ewa Beach. Anyway, the staff was very helpful and welcoming upon arrival. After signing required paperwork ( hazard waiver and such) we were shown an 8 min video of the area where you may take your kayak. For first timers, doing a self guided tour, I suggest paying attention to the video as there are several key area's that will assist in your adventure, especially on how to approach one of the islands you may visit, as there are merging swells in the center of the landing area of the islands. The walk to the staging area is not far and so if you drove, I suggest leaving your vehicle at the venue parking lot as there is minimal parking where you pick up your kayak. I also suggest to either commit to going all the way to the bigger islands or going to the closer "Flat Island" and then proceding to snorkle at the next beach area, as the islands are quite
I have been to the North Shore before and enjoyed this trip the most. We enjoyed the Waimia Falls park more due to the guides suggestions. he was very knowledgeable and interesting. I especially enjoyed the turtles. I would recommend it for the young and hardy or an old folk like me. Great fun!
It was incredibly pleasant!
Seeing Hawaii from above and taking a leisurely sky walk with a parachute was the best!! Since children were also participating, I recommend it for families too!
すんごく気持ちよかったです!
ハワイを上空から見下ろせてパラシュートでゆっくりと空中散歩ができて最高でした!!お子様も参加されていたので、ファミリーにもおすすめです!
My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the parasailing. It was a tremendously relaxing feeling for both of us. We took the 1000 ft. line and would do it again. Captain Duncan and crewman Kevin were both jovial and attentive to detail. Felt safe at all times.
I highly recommend buying the pictures.
There was a staff member who spoke Japanese, so I felt at ease. I spent an hour sitting on the net at the front, feeling the waves. Snacks and drinks were free, but I hardly had any. However, it was a lot of fun. Just be careful about getting sunburned!
日本語ができる方もスタッフにいたので安心していられました。
前方の網の上(うまく説明できませんが)に座って、波を感じながら1時間過ごしました。
スナックや飲みものはフリーでしたが、ほとんどいただきませんでした。
でもとっても楽しかったです。
ただ、日焼けだけは気を付けてくださいね
The crew was much better then expected. They were very helpful and attentive.
I went with high expectations, but if you are prone to seasickness, please be careful.
It's definitely better to take motion sickness medication.
The staff is accustomed to dealing with Japanese customers, so there are no issues.
I also noticed an interesting policy at the reception where customers who cause trouble pay an extra $10.
I thought it would be nice to experience it at least once, so I encourage everyone to give it a try.
期待をして、行きましたが船酔いをする人は気をつけてください。
必ず、酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいです。
スタッフは日本人の対応にも慣れていて問題ありません。
迷惑をかけた、客は10ドル多めに払うという面白い内容も受付でみうけました。
一回、体験できればいいと思いましたが是非、皆さん一度は体験してみてください。
We went on our Honeymoon and this was one of the activities that we have done. If this is your first time surfing, don't fret. The staff are professional and they teach you all the basics. Opt for the private lessons because if you are tired from paddling, the instructor can help you back to the waves hence more opportunity for you to keep on practicing to get better. The photographer was great as well as he managed to capture some great photos and you can get them all in a disc which was nice. Highly recommended...
My sister and I went surfing for the first time and had a blast! Cherry and Carol were awesome and put us in as many waves as possible. Girls Who Surf will be on my list of things to do the next time I'm in Oahu! I would recommend Girls Who Surf to anyone looking for a safe, fun time!!!!!

I live in Hawaii half the time.
My friend is coming to Hawaii and wants to try surfing, so I signed up for lessons. I can ride the waves, but I don't have the skill or stamina to teach, so I signed up for my friend's sake.
In reality, surfing has its own competition for waves (territory?), but here, you can take lessons at a long-established place with no complaints.
No matter which instructor you get, most people are able to stand up on the board, and if there are any who haven't yet, they focus on helping them, which I think is very considerate.
半分ハワイに在住してます。
お友達がハワイに来るのに際して、サーフィンをやりたいということで申し込みました。
自分は波乗りをするのですが教えるほどの技量や体力がないので友達の為に申し込みました。
実際にサーフィンは波取り合戦が(縄張り?)があるので、ここは老舗で文句なしの状態でレッスンを受けれます。
どの先生にあたっても、ほとんどの人が立てますし、まだ立ててない人がいると集中的に手伝ってくれたりと、かなり良心的だと思います。
My family of 5 had a blast parasailing. The staff were great and made the experience a lot of fun. The time in the boast went by so fast but when I was up in the air, the time seemed to stand still. The ride is very peaceful and the views are outstanding. I didn't even mind the dunk in the ocean on our way down to the boat.
The value of the activities was very high, especially considering the discounted price we received at Hawaii Activities.
You will be picked up by bus, and once you arrive, you'll have free time at the beach in the morning. In the afternoon, you'll receive instructions on kayaking and then set off!
By the way, you can rent bodyboards in the morning. However, while the local women next to me were smoothly riding the same waves, I struggled to get on...
For lunch, you can choose between a bento box or pizza. The pizza was delicious but quite large.
Kayaking is tough because you have to carry the kayak back and forth to the beach by yourself.
Honestly, it's challenging for two women. It's better to go with a strong man. I ended up with a slim guy, and while carrying it back, I hurt my back.
But kayaking itself is fun, and sea turtles come close, so if the weather is good, it's the best!
Just be aware that you can get sunburned easily, so ladies should definitely wear long-sleeved hoodies, hats, and sunscreen to be fully prepared.
バスで送迎してもらえて、現地に着くと午前中はビーチで自由時間。
午後になるとカヤックについてのインストラクションを受けて出発!
ちなみに午前中はボディボードとか借りられます。
でもお隣の現地人女性は同じ波でスーッと乗るのに自分はなかなか乗れませんでした・・・
お昼はお弁当かピザか選べます。
ピザは美味しかったけどおっきかったです。
カヤックは往復ビーチまで自分たちで運ぶので大変です。
正直女性二人は厳しい。
力持ちの男性と行きましょう。
私は細い彼といったがために、帰り運ぶときに手伝ってぎっくり腰になりました。
でもカヤック自体は楽しいし、ウミガメも近くに来るし、天気が良ければ最高!!
とにかくよく焼けるので、気になる女性は長袖パーカーは帽子、日焼け止めなど万全にしていきましょう。
