All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

You can fully enjoy the clear skies and beautiful ocean of Hawaii. All the staff were locals, and they spoke amusing Japanese, which helped us relax, and they were very kind. I have a fear of heights, so I was very scared, but my husband and children were all extremely satisfied.

ハワイの澄んだ空と美しい海を
思う存分楽しむことができます。
スタッフは全員現地の方たちでしたが
おもしろい日本語を話してくれてリラックスさせてくれたり
とても親切でした。
私は高所恐怖症なのでとても恐かったけど
夫も子供たちも全員、大満足でした。

All the instructors made us feel comfortable and made sure we had fun and guaranteed we would all stand up. I signed up for the 2 hour class. The waves were knee to waist high and be prepared to do a lot of paddling. Everyone in my group stood up on the board. We all started posing for the camera while surfing. Very fun for all age groups. A school of dolphins showed up and jumping along with us. PERFECT DAY!!!!

My husband is afraid of heights, so I went up with my sister. It was our first time and had a blast. My husband rode along and watch from the boat. I loved every minute of it. Could have spent all day up in the air. The staff was very friendly.

We had a great time on this tour. The staff was great and it was a very laid back atmosphere. The weather even cooperated with us. We would defintely recommend it to others.

We took myself and three visitors from Japan. Yesterday PM trip. The ride on the catamaran was so smooth both coming and going. The capt did a great job! and the two mancrew.
He had so much patients steering the cat looking for whales. I tho't we would be disappointed, but he did not disappoint us. He finnaly found a mother and her pup. This was about an hour and half into our trip.
My cousin who asked for the trip was very happy. I don't know what she expected to see, but the whale did come up. she was satisfied. She may come back again next year. I know the whales don't leave until April. How will it be about this time next year? Would it have been if the trip were a little later?
By the way I have friends coming next week from Japan. How are the prospects. I can suggest your whale charter.
the capt. brought us back to Kewalo right on schedule.

I went with three other girl friends on this breakfast cruise. The crew was friendly and fun. They made you feel welcomed instantly and made you feel cared for.
The cruise was smooth we were able to see whales and the Captain went out of our regular route to see more of the whales. It was a fun, relaxing, cruise - I would highly recommend it to anyone who has never been or who just wants to go out again!

I participated with my daughter.
Initially, we considered just observing, but I'm glad we decided to experience it!
I felt a bit anxious before flying, but once we were up, it was truly the best feeling.
We were lucky with the weather on the day we participated, and we even got to see whales.
The standard option we chose had a flight time of 9 to 11 minutes, which was plenty of time to enjoy.
We tipped $5 on the way back.
I think tipping is essential even for optional activities abroad.
The view from above is so wonderful that words can't express it, so please try to experience the feeling of being a bird at least once!

娘と二人で参加しました。
当初は見学も考えましたが、体験してよかったです☆
飛ぶまでは少し不安もありましたが、上がってしまえば本当に最高の気分です^^
参加した日はお天気にも恵まれ、クジラも見ることができました。
私達の選んだスタンダードは、フライトが9~11分とありましたが、十分楽しめる時間でした。
帰りにチップは5ドル払いました。
オプションの参加でも外国ではチップは必須かなと思います。
空から見た景色は、口では表現できないくらい素晴らしいので一度、鳥の気分を味わってみて下さい^^

I really had a great time...I was looking for snorkeling and that was the best part of the day. Then we also saw the turtles beach and the Haleiwa town...really a lot of fun! I'd do it again if I will ever go back to Hawaii :)

This was my third time to Oahu. I was looking for a North Shore tour that offered a visit to Haleiwa and Waimea Falls, this was the only tour that offered both!! The tour was fantastic and I would definitely partake again. Cheers : )

I had so much fun learning to surf. The instructor, Sean, was the best! Very good teacher. I would recommend a lesson early in the day though because the photographer doesn't like to take photos during the 3:00 session due to the sun. My best ride was the last one and he had left already.

I experienced 150.
The view of the Hawaiian sea from such a high position was amazing!
I love heights, and it was very exciting with a thrill that you can't experience anywhere else. I think the experience lasted about 15 minutes, so I was able to fully enjoy it!
I believe this is quite a good deal for the price.
They do ask for a tip on the way back, but they say it in a casual manner, so I didn't feel uncomfortable giving it.
Above all, since it's such a good deal, I didn't mind the tip amount.
You can enjoy yourself sufficiently from the boat even before reaching the middle of the sea.
Definitely give it a try! 🎶

私は１５０を体験しました。
すごく高い位置からみるハワイの海は最高でした！
高いところが好きな私ですがとてもエキサイティングで
他には体験出来ないスリルがあり体験時間も１５分くらい
あった様に思いますので、思う存分満喫できました！
これでこの値段はかんりお得だと思います。
帰り際にチップを要求されますが、フランクに
言われるので嫌な気分もせず渡しました。
なによりお得なのでチップの値段も気なりません。
海の真ん中に行くまでもボートの上から充分に
楽しめます。
是非お試しを~♫

It was a bit scary since it was my first time surfing, but the locals were warm and provided guidance, and I was able to experience standing on the waves! However, I felt that two hours was a bit short... I want to do it a little more!

初めてのサーフィンでちょっと怖かったのですが、現地の人も暖かく指導してくれて、一応波の上に立つという経験をすることができました！！
でも2時間じゃちょっと足りないかな・・・という印象は受けました。もうちょっとやりたい！！

Great Experience! I have skydived before so I wasn't worried, but my husband was apprehensive to go up that high. He had a great time! The staff was great, everyone on the boat enjoyed it. Waikiki beach looked awesome from that high up, and we even had a whale sighting! There are so many companies to choose from, I am glad we choose this one. FYI, make sure you wear your swimming suit!!!

We had always wanted to try parasailing. It was fantastic. We were so high in the air that the people on the boat looked like ants. It was a great way to see the island from the air. We were laughing and having a blast. The transition on and off the boat was very smooth. They took pictures for us and only charged $15 and gave us the roll of film to develop. The shark cage tour wanted $60 for the video so we bought the pictures from this tour.

This way a great way to explore the North Shore without having to do the driving. The driver, Keoki, was great! He showed much aloha which made this trip very special. Thanks again Keoki!

We highly recommend booking the parasailing adventure! We had a great time and plan to do it again on our next visit!

Overall my sister and I had a good time.

I was very disappointed with the cost of the photos. Even when the instructor tried to barter with me and cut the cost in half, it was still an outrageous price for a Cd that cost pennies to produce. If they were actual photos the price is still rediculous.

The ride of very comfortable and the crew was just fantastic. We were so excited to see the whales!!! Definite must go!

SO MY MOM WAS LIKE WE HAVE TO GO ON A WHALE WATCHING TOUR AND I WAS LIKE WHATEVER MOM BUT OMG I AM SO HAPPY I WENT! AND THE BOAT IS JUST SO SO SO WICKED! I SAT ON THE NET AND UP WITH THE CAPTAIN AND THE FOOD WAS YUMMY TOO. NOT GOING TO FORGET THIS TOUR ANYTIME SOON. THANKS FOR THE RECOMMENDATION GUYS!

My husband and I did this our first day and I was a little nervous about it, but once you get up in the air its so cool! I didn't know just how bad my husband was afraid of heights cause he got pretty scared, but you're attached to a parachute! I felt bad for dragging him up there with me, but I really loved it - a once in a lifetime thing, so why not do it while you're in Hawaii? I also read some other comments about how there was pressure to tip, but I didn't feel that way, yeah, there were 20's taped to the boat and they did ask that we "take care of them" but I thought it was only proper to tip so I gave them 10 bucks for the both of us. Don't let something like that ruin, or keep you from trying this. It was Awesome! FYI: bring a waterproof disposable camera up with you for some great shots!

Experience was TRULY AMAZING. I can't swim and have a phobia of being underwater in general but the BOB gave me the opportunity to sit on a scooter and enjoy the wonderful creation that exist under the Pacific Ocean. Price was very reasonable and the instructors were awesome!

We had a great time on this tour. The group was small, so the guide could be flexible and give individual attention to each participant. There was a range of activities so you could choose how active you wanted to be. We did the Wailea Falls hike and stand-up paddling. We had lunch at the cafe at Wailea Falls, very good Hawaiian-style food. We were glad we paid the extra for an instructor on the paddling as it was challenging. I would only recommend doing it on your own if you are experienced. I highly recommend this tour if you are interested in learning more about the North Shore.

We opted for the 4 hour guided tour. Our guide Sheila was fun and extremely knowledgeable. She gave us history, marine biology, and geology lessons as we kayaked out to one of the off shore islands and while exploring the island. The folks on the 2 hour tour were there as long as we were, but they spent less time kayaking and did not visit the island we did - I highly recommend opting for the 4 hour tour. You'll get a lot more kayak time and a much more interesting island to visit.

Really neat experience! The view down below was awesome and the crew was helpful and fun. My only complaint was that it didn't last long enough - we could have stayed down all day!

It might be due to the timing, but unlike the options booked through the travel agency, there were no other Japanese participants, which made me really feel like I was abroad, and it was great! The parasailing experience was fun, and the instructors were interesting. I even got to see a shark, which is something you don't usually see. Although I was a bit nervous because communication in Japanese was limited and there was the shark, I was very satisfied with this valuable experience!

時期的な事もあるかもしれませんが、旅行会社で予約したオプションとは違い、他の参加者に日本人がいなかったので海外に来たっていう実感ができとてもよかったです！
体験したパラセイリングもインストラクターの方々も面白く、普段はあまり見られないという鮫も見れ、日本語があまり通じないってのと鮫には少しドキドキしたけど、貴重な体験ができとても満足でした♪

Two foreign staff members assisted us, one as the driver and the other explaining the parasailing and helping us put on life jackets.

They provided explanations in both English and Japanese, so it was fine even if you didn't understand English.

While the foreigners flew one by one, I requested to go up together with another person.

At first, the boat sped off quickly, which was overwhelming, but once we were flying, it wasn't scary at all!

In fact, the wind was refreshing and the view was great☆

At the end, they playfully dropped us into the sea, but if you say "NO," they won't let you fall. Haha!

The flying experience went by in a flash!!

It was $15, and they also took photos. Since it was on film, we couldn't check them on the spot, but they had a telephoto lens, so they took pictures even after we were flying. I’m looking forward to the 24 shots we took.

Tips are requested separately. It might be a good idea to bring a little cash for tips for the camera.

担当してくれたのは外国人の方が二人で、運転手とパラセイリングの説明やライフジャケットを着せてくれて、上にあげてくれる人。

説明は英語と日本語でそれぞれしてくれたので、英語がわからなくても大丈夫でした。

外国人は一人ずつ飛んでいたましたが、私は二人でお願いして一緒に上げてもらいました。


最初はボートが勢いよく進んでいくので圧倒されたけど、飛んでしまえばぜんぜん怖くなかったです！

むしろ、風が吹いてで景色も良かったのでさわやかでした☆

最後に愛嬌でぼちゃんと海に落とされるのですが、ちゃんとＮＯといえば落とさないでくれます。笑

あっという間のフライングでした！！

15ドルでしたから写真も撮ってくれます。
フィルムなのでその場で確認することは出来ませんが、望遠レンズ付なので飛んでからも写真を撮っていました。24枚取りで出来上がりが楽しみです。

チップは別に要求されます。
カメラをチップで少しお金を持っていくといいかもしれません。

My husband experienced it for the first time in 20 years, and it was my first experience, but the staff taught us various things in advance, so we felt safe entering the sea. We had a lesson with three people, including someone from Europe, and they helped us compare the waves so that everyone could ride equally. It was exciting to ride the waves and I was thrilled. I definitely want to participate again.

主人は20年ぶり、私は初体験でしたが、スタッフの方が事前にいろいろ教えてくれ安心して海に入れました。
欧人の方と3人のレッスンでしたが、どの人にもまんべんなく乗れるよう波を見比べてくれ、楽しく波に乗ることができ感激でした。
また、是非参加したいです。

We booked this tour on line before arriving in Waikiki. Wondered if we had made a mistake, but the tour was great. We were picked up on schedule exactly as promised. Our tour guide, Sam, was informative and knowledgeable about the island and the culture.

The best part of this tour is the choices! The next best thing is how much time you have on your own to enjoy the activity choices. Couldn't have been better. Absolutely loved it! Would go again.

Hello All!
My husband and I took this tour on Tuesday, Oct 6th, 2009. It was the best tour ever! North Shore is beautiful and absolutely amazing. We had one activity and rode a beach cruiser to all the beaches. We hung out at Waimea Beach and the waves were pretty insane. There was a surfing competition on the other beach. We saw sea turtles and that was a SIGHT! Our tour guide Sam is the definitely the coolest guide ever. We 100% recommend this activity to everyone. No joke. If you don't believe, you guys can contact us at mdot42@hotmail.com. =D

It was awesome. It was our first time and the staff was very knowledgeable about every aspect of the activity. They both were very friendly, took pictures, and answered questions. We would recommend this to everyone. You have a beautiful view from up there. Was a little scary at first, then you relax and enjoy the view of beach and Diamond Head. Would do it again
