All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I participated with a friend.
Besides us, there was one couple and a group of four, all of whom were foreigners.
At first, they explained everything in English really quickly, and I couldn't understand what they were saying, but when it was our turn, they explained it in broken Japanese, so it was fine.
Once we were up, all we could hear was the sound of the wind.
It felt incredible to be floating in the sky.
The view was amazing!!
I couldn't participate much in the conversation since I don't speak much English, but when my friend got seasick and I told the staff, everyone else was worried too.
One girl in the group of four was really scared and kept saying, "I don't want to do this!!!" until the last minute, but we all encouraged her, and in the end, it seemed like she had a lot of fun.
I saw in reviews that it was better to have photos taken ($15), so I requested it.
I'm really glad I did!☆

友人と２人で参加しました。
私たち以外は、ご夫婦１組と、４人組のグループで、
全員外国人の方でした。
なので、最初ばーっと英語で説明してて、
何言ってるのかわかんなかったんですが、
私たちの番になったら、片言ですが日本語で説明してくれて、
問題ありませんでした。
あがってからは、風の音しかしません。
空に浮いてる感じがなんともいえません。
景色も最高です!!
あまり英語が話せないので、会話にはちょっとしか参加できませんでしたが、
私の友人が船酔いしてしまい、スタッフにそれを伝えたら、
他のみんなも心配してくれてました。
４人グループ内の１人の女の子も、
ぎりぎりまで「やりたくない！！！」
と、かなり怖がっていましたが、みんなで励まして、
結局はかなり楽しかった様子で帰って行きました。
口コミで、写真($15)は撮ってもらったほうがいいと
皆さん書かれてたので、頼みました。
ほんと撮ってもらってよかったです☆

I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for the amazing experience while we were there. Andy and I were certified during our stay on Oahu and we are so stoked!! Cameron was an awesome instructor, as was the rest of the staff at Aaron's. So kind, helpful, and friendly! We had such a great time. I cannot think of a better beginning for 2010 and an experience we will never forget.

We did this "tour" on our second trip to Hawaii. It is a great opportunity to experience the North Shore on your own but still get the guided tour experience. This is a "tour" you could take multiple times and have a new experience every time. We loved the options and being able to choose our adventure once we got there.

We had a stand up paddling lesson, and then went out on a guided tour. The instructors do a really good job at making sure you are comfortable with what you are doing, before you go out into the water. The coastline was so beautiful as we paddled by it. Stand up paddling feels like you are walking on water and it is really a unique experience.

THis was a very fun experience. Our whole family enjoyed. Two of us actually parasailed the other three just watched from the boat. It was alot of fun.

Our group went on the morning sailing excursion. What a beautiful day it turned out to be. We had picture perfect weather. Breathtaking doesn't even begin to describe the immense beauty you will witness on this tour. We have such wonderful pictures from this tour, that we could probably turn them into post cards. This was a perfect way to spend a relaxing day in Hawaii.

I had a great time learning how to stand up paddle surf. The instructors are really good at what they do, and they make sure that you are comfortable going out into the ocean. Stand up paddling is a really good workout, because you are paddling, as well as, keeping your balance. You are getting a workout, but you are having a lot of fun, which makes the time and exercise fly by.

We were first timers kayaking and while the 2.5 miles we paddled to our destination was physically challenging the destination and overall experience was well worth it. Our guides, Sheila and Alex were great. Sheila has alot of experience and education and was very informative throughout the tour. We would do this again!!! Magnificent and beautiful.

Surfing was awesome!!! It was really great. However, I was sore all over for a week afterward...

サーフィンさいこーーーーー！！！
とてもよかったです。
けど、終わった後一週間は全身筋肉痛。。。

My six year old daughter surfed! We all did! We all got up and we have the videotape to prove it! This was our first activity on our first day and it set a trend of quality that stayed throughout our trip. These surfers are great teachers, assistants, advisors, helpers, and just plain nice.

I can't recommend anywhere more than this school.

This was a great time for us, BUT the rides are not even CLOSE to the times they advertise. I would not waste your money upgrading to any of the other rides. I timed all three of my wife's and kids rides and they were actually less than 5 minutes from the time they left the back deck til they touched down again. No where near the 10-12 minutes advertised for the Deluxe Ride. They probably did go a little higher than they 850 ride, but the duration was exactly the same.

The ride is great, the people were nice, but the trip is not as advertised.

Was the most amazing time! You could see forever. The crew was friendly and very helpful. I wanted to go again and again.! Awesome!!

I am afraid of heights but my sister convinced me to go with her. I can honestly say I will not do it again but a girl has to try everything once! The staff was very professional and knew what they were doing. Safety is important to them. Definitely a must do for all, even those scaredy cats like me!

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.
