All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

We gathered at the school office and practiced how to stand on a surfboard. After that, we each took two surfboards and walked across the street to the beach, immediately getting into the water and following the instructor. As someone who doesn't exercise much, I was already exhausted by this point. I desperately followed the instructor's commands of "Paddle!" and "Stand up!" By the end of the day, all participants were able to stand on their boards. It felt truly refreshing to glide through the wind. I'm really glad I participated. One downside was that the ocean floor was covered in rocks and corals. When I got back to the hotel and looked at my feet, I found many scrapes and was bleeding. (laughs) I think it would be good to take some precautions for that.

スクール事務所に集合して、簡単にサーフボードの上にどうやって立つのかを練習後、二人で2枚づつサーフボードを持って道を渡ってビーチまで歩き、即水に入って先生の後についてこいでいきます。運動不足の私はこのあたりで既にへとへとでした。先生の「こいで！」「立って！」の声にあわせて、後は必死。その日の参加者はすぐに全員板の上に立つことができました。風を切って進むときは本当に爽快です。本当に参加してよかったです。一つだけ、難点は、海の底が岩？サンゴ？だらけでした。ホテルに帰って足を見たらたくさんの擦り傷から流血していました。（笑）何か対策をしてゆくと良いと思います。

Staff is AWESOME and VERY helpful in getting you what you need and want. Lunch was ok. Choice of 2 different places to choose meal. Would do it again.

Parasailing was something I absolutely wanted to try in Hawaii. I was a bit anxious about the fact that everything was in English, but the driver, the instructor (everyone was handsome!), and the ticket booth staff were all very kind, so there were no problems at all. My father (68), who had signed up as an observer, suddenly decided he wanted to participate on-site, so he signed up on the day with his limited English. He was able to join after paying the difference, and off we went to the sea! Everyone else was foreign couples, but the atmosphere was great, and I felt no tension at all. It seems we were set to a height one level above standard, but there was no sense of fear, and we enjoyed the amazing view. Even at my father's age, he could participate and have fun. In the end, we took a great photo with the instructor! We also had photos taken for an additional fee, but since the boat was swaying, I think they turned out better than what we could have taken ourselves. Next time, I’ll challenge myself to go even higher!

ハワイで絶対にやってみたかったパラセイル。英語のみというのが少し不安でしたが、ドライバーさんもインストラクターさん（みんなイケメン！）もチケット売り場の人たちもみんな親切で、全く問題ありませんでした。見学者で申し込みをしていた父（68）が、現地でやっぱり参加したいと言い出したので、つたない英語で当日申し込み。差額の支払いで参加でき、いざ、海へ！私たち以外はみな外国人のカップルでしたが、とてもいい雰囲気で、緊張も全くしませんでした。私たちだけスタンダードより一つ上の高さにしていたらしいのですが、恐怖感は全くなく、最高の眺めを満喫しました。父の年齢でも十分参加できますし、楽しめます。最後はばっちり、インストラクターさんと写真を撮りました♪別料金で写真も撮ってもらいましたが、船が揺れているので、自分たちで撮るよりきれいに撮れるのではないかと思います。次はもっと上まで挑戦します！

Our 17, 15, and 12 year old all had a great experience. All of them got up several times and are very glad they did it. Two of the kids wore short sleeve shirts and wish they wore long sleeve as they both had quite a rash on the arm from rubbing against the board.

We found the experience to be wonderful! The staff was fun and very friendly and we loved the pictures that they took for us. The parasailing itself was a once in a lifetime experience that I will always remember. I will definetly recommend this to anyone I know coming to Hawaii!

I spent a meaningful time from the morning until early afternoon. The weather was somewhat cloudy, so both the water temperature and the wind were a bit chilly.

I participated last October, and I think it's better to bring a long-sleeved jacket when it's cloudy.

There were quite a few waves, and I enjoyed bodyboarding. The staff provided thorough explanations, and lunch was included, so I was very satisfied.

午前中から昼過ぎまでの時間でしたが、有意義に過ごせました。天候は曇り気味だったので、水温・風共に若干冷たかったです。

去年の１０月に参加しましたが、曇っている時は上着の長袖を持っていったほうがいいと思います。

波がけっこうあって、ボディーボードを楽しみました。
スタッフの方の説明もきちんとあったし、昼食もついていたので大満足です。

I was so nervous before embarking on my parasailing adventure, but the friendly staff made me feel at ease and the experience was so much more than I could have asked for. Being in the air over the open sea with a full view of the island was so serene. I look forward to doing it again, next time I'm on the island!

the kayaking excursion was awesome. i got to learn a lot about the native birds and animals of hawaii plus the scenery was beautiful!

This experience was sooo much fun. Our guides dipped us in the water and also slid us across the water which was really cool. The staff was excellent, but I only wish they let us go up higher and for longer because we were only up in the air for about 5 min. But other than that, it was really fun and highly recommended.

Parasailing is fun. x-treme parasailing was not worth the added expense. We saw no difference in the duration of the ride. In fact other riders who did not pay for extreme were given equal and/or better experiences. (ie..same duration and being dunked, also boat pulling them). Honestly, we felt a bit cattled through the process. Would parasail again, but not the x-treme parasailing. Save the added money for something else!

I have been to many exotic places in the carribbean and took part in jet skiing there. In other places (mexico,barbados,st. thomas, bahamas,puerto rico) you rent the jet ski on your own and go where you want which is pretty cool. Here at sea breeze it's a little more controlled which is good as well. Sea breeze staff were awesome and works hard. They are all about safety because you have to watch a safety video. The activities are more controlled because when you jet ski, you have to go around in a circle in a somewhat controlled area. They also take pics of you on a chip that they download on their computer later for your purchase of $30 so take extra money because the pics are way cool.
AS for the parasailing, awesome. That was my first time as well as my wife. They dip you in the water which was a great experience and the views are out of this world. Well worth the money spent. Keep this in mind, when you go on vacation I understand families have a budget but expect to sp

Greetings from California!

Parasailing for the first time was amazing! My friend Jasmine and I didn't know what to expect and we were definately pleased with our parasailing adventure, friendliness of the staff, and overall experience! The motion of the ocean unfortunately did get to Jasmine, so here's some advice to those who get motion sickness - bring the Dramamine! Other than that, no complaints from us! We highly recommend X-treme parasailing!!!

Great time. Staff very friendly

This was a great activity and would recommend it for anyone traveling to Oahu.

Flying at 850+ feet I saw alot that many people don't see. It was a beutiful view!!

We really enjoyed this parasailing trip. It was so exciting and the crew was wonderful. We would do it again in a heartbeat. Our youngest is 12 years old and he had a great time. 9 of us went for just over 300 dollars. The time we each spent in the air was amazing. We felt like we got our money's worth!

Overall this was a fun activity, the kids loved it. Ride was kinda short compared to the cost, especially when you factor in the fact that you are charged individually but they fly you in pairs.
The crew did everything they could to make sure that we were enjoying ourselves.

Great experience. Friendly staff, great for people who like to spend the day exploring and relaxing outdoors. Kailua & Lanikai are great for relaxing on the beach, snorkelling & kayaking and isn't overly crowded. After spending the day at the beach, come back and get sweets & shave ice at the next door eateries and enjoy the ride back to Waikiki.

We enjoyed parasailing thanks to staffs.
We will do it again if we have a chance to go to Hawaii.

Since the children participated, my child was in a private session while I was in a semi-private session, with two instructors for the three of us. We booked a full three hours, but unlike surfing in Japan, the waves kept coming, and in the end, we could only last an hour and a half. It felt quite wasteful. Perhaps because we were experienced, the briefing on land was shorter? The kids were able to ride the waves that kept coming and seemed to feel great when praised. When I called to confirm our arrival, I received a confirmation call that evening. They asked for our weights, so I thought they would prepare boards suited for each of us, but all three of us ended up with soft tops (urethane boards). While they have buoyancy, I wonder if they might not be suitable for practice. The point is that from the yacht harbor next to the Hilton Rainbow Tower, even children can paddle out easily, so I think beginners and kids can participate without any trouble. The instructors didn't speak any Japanese, so if we had been better at English, our conversations would have flowed more, and it would have been even more enjoyable.

子供も参加したので、子供はプライベート、私はセミプライベートでの参加でしたが、インストラクター2人に私たち親子3人という形でした。たっぷり3時間予約しましたが、日本でのサーフィンとちがいどんどん波がくるので、結局1時間半しか体力が持ちませんでした。かなりもったいなかったです。経験者ということもあり、陸でのブリーフィングも短めだったのでしょうか？子供たちはどんどん来る波に乗って行き、誉められとても気分がよかったようです。到着確認の電話をしたらその晩に確認電話がありました。体重を聞かれたので、それぞれにあったボードを用意してくれるのかと思ったら、3人ともソフトップ（ウレタンボード）でした。浮力はあるのですが、練習にはならないかも？と思います。ポイントは、ヒルトンレインボータワー横のヨットハーバーから子供でも十分パドルアウトできるので、初心者、子供さんでもらくらく参加でくるとおもいます。インストラクターは日本語はまったくしゃべれないので、私たちがもっと英語ができたら会話もはずんで、もっと楽しかったでしょうね。

This was a wonderful opportunity to get a different perspective on Hawaii. It was very peaceful floating above the bay and looking at Honolulu and Diamond Head. It was our first time parasailing. The crew made it very relaxing and stressed safety. We enjoyed dunking our feet in the ocean, before we landed on the boat. It was well worth having them take the pictures for us. They turned out really well, much better than if we had tried to take pictures ourselves. We would definitely do this activity again.

I went surfing for the first time. I wasn't very enthusiastic at first since a friend invited me, but after trying it, I completely fell in love with it. The instructor was quite strict, but I participated in a group and was able to stand up on the board in just one or two hours, so I'm grateful for that. It was so much fun that I definitely want to participate again!

初めてサーフィンをしました。友人に誘われたので最初はそれほど乗り気ではなかったのですが、やってみてすっかりとりこになりました。先生が割と厳しかったのですが、グループで参加し、１，２時間で立たせてもっらったので感謝です。とっても楽しかったので、ぜひぜひまた参加したいと思います。

An 8-year-old child participated. Last year, when they took a lesson at Honolulu Beach for about 40 minutes, they could only kneel. However, this year, they received a solid 2-hour lesson and were surprisingly good at riding the waves. They even became capable of timing their own rides. The next day, I had a little time, so I took a lesson at Honolulu Beach again. The price was the same at $75 for an hour, but the quality of the content was completely different. This is an activity I highly recommend. I want to participate again next year.

8歳の子供が参加しました。
去年、40分ほどホノルルビーチで教えているレッスンを受けたときは、ひざまずくぐらいしか出来なかったのですが、今年は2時間しっかりと教えていただき、びっくりするほど上手に波に乗れていました。
しかも自分でﾀｲﾐﾝｸﾞを考えれるくらいになりました。
次の日、少し時間が取れたので、ホノルルビーチのレッスンを受けたのですが、1時間75ドルで金額的には変わらなかったのですが、内容の充実度が全然違いました。
とてもお勧めできるアクティビティーです。
来年又、参加したいです。

This was one of the best activities we did while in Hawaii and I am so glad that my fiancee and I decided to fly! The staff and crew were extremely friendly and provided WONDERFUL customer service! We got to see some amazing views of the Waikiki shoreline and the photos that they took are a great reminder of a perfectlt fantastic time. Thank you guys and I cannot wait to go again!

this activity was very fun they have a lot to offer and it was worth the money

Hawaii Activities made my first ocean kayaking experience a great one. I'll do it again the first chance I get!

OK for whom who want active activities.

i love it and my family love it the staff treated us very good

The instructors were great-very supportive and helpful.
You need to warn people to wear some footgear-there are sharp rocks that cut our feet walking in after surfing. Also, a photographer/video would be nice since we can't hold on to cameras
while surfing (and you would make more $$).

Parasailing was definitely a great experience!!! These guys obviously know what they're doing.
