All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

We did this just 8 months ago and we brought the rest of the family with us this time. There was 8 of us and everyone participated in all of the activities and it didn't matter that the weather wasn't perfect, the aloha shared by this team is what made this experience wonderful. Thank you for making our Obana's day!

It was my first time parasailing and my first time in Hawaii, so I was a bit anxious, but it was an incredibly satisfying activity!! The waiver for accidents was also provided in Japanese, so I could sign it with peace of mind. I had a great view of Waikiki, and I could see Diamond Head as well. Since I enjoyed the wonderful scenery, I highly recommend it to anyone who is considering trying it!

初めてのパラセーリングかつ初めてのハワイで不安でしたが、とても大満足のアクティビティでした！！事故の際の誓約書等も日本語で作成されており安心してサインできました。ワイキキが一望できて、ダイヤモンドヘッドも見えました。素晴らしい景色を楽しめたので、迷っている方は是非トライしてみてほしいです。

We had an excellent adventure on our morning trip. The crew was great and took care of every possible detail to ensure all the guests had a good experience.
The live music was an added bonus that we truly enjoyed! Highly recommend this as a great way to spend a few hours on the water.

The view from the sea was great! The staff's explanations in English were easy to understand, and they had a good vibe. On the way back to the beach, we spotted dolphins, and even though they said we had just 5 minutes left, they took the time to let us enjoy watching the dolphins until they disappeared. I was very satisfied. It was a lot of fun!

海から見る景色、良かったです♪
スタッフの方の説明（英語）も分かりやすかったですし、ノリも良かったです。
ビーチに戻る途中に、イルカを発見したのですが…あと5分で戻るよぉ〜と言いつつも、イルカが見えなくなるまで時間を使ってくれ、大変満足しました。
楽しかったです。

we got luck that the tour went out, and lucky we felt! great catch and a memorable christmas morning thanks to the crew

I had an experience that matched the description! The staff could speak a little Japanese, so communication was possible.

内容通りの体験ができました！スタッフの方々も日本語が少しできたので、コミュニケーションもとれました。

I experienced jet skiing and parasailing. It was great that the height for parasailing was updated. It was very high and gave me a sense of exhilaration that I don't usually get to experience. Jet skiing was very authentic; at first, it was difficult to maintain balance, but I gradually got used to it, and it was so much fun that the time flew by.

ジェットスキーとパラセーリングを体験しました。パラセーリングの高さはアップデートして良かったです。とても高くて普段味わえない高揚感でした。ジェットスキーはとても本格的で最初バランスを取るのが難しかったですが、次第に慣れてきて、楽しすぎてあっというまの時間でした。

The 150m course was amazing. It felt about twice as long as I imagined, and the operator's skills were excellent, creating a fantastic feeling of weightlessness. 😀

150mコースが最高でした。
想像の2倍くらいの長さに感じて、オペレーターの操作も上手くて　浮遊感が最高だった😀

I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in 30 years. We arrived in an 8-passenger van before the parking lot opened, but there were quite a few cars lined up. Thanks to our guide departing early based on the previous day's situation, we were able to enter quite smoothly. It seems that tour guests can enter preferentially. Before descending to Hanauma Bay, we watched a video and received explanations, which took about 30 minutes. We descended about 30 meters down a steep slope in a large buggy that holds around 15 people. In the past, there were many fish near the shore because people fed them, but now there aren't as many. Following our guide, we were shown the areas where the fish are, from the left side of the bay to the right. Along the way, we were able to see a turtle. Additionally, we spotted a whale spouting outside the bay.

30年ぶりにハナウマ湾に行きました
8人乗りのバンで、駐車場の開場前に着きますが、結構車が並んでいます
ガイドさんが前日の様子から早めに出発したため、結構スムーズに入場できました
ツアー客は優先的に入場できるようです
ハナウマ湾に降りる前に、説明、ビデオを観るので、30分ぐらいかかります
ハナウマ湾までは、30mぐらいの急な坂を15人乗りぐらいの大型バギーで降ります
以前は、餌を与えていたため、波打ち際まで多くの魚がいましたが、今は余りいません
ガイドさんに従って、湾の左側から右側まで、魚がいるところを案内してくれます
途中でカメを観ることができました
また、湾の外にクジラの潮吹きが見られました

I have experienced various optional tours overseas, but this was the best. After jumping out of the boat and rising a little, it was nice to touch the water once. Then, we quickly ascended to the sky, and it was dynamic. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from above was amazing. The flying time was about 10 minutes, but it was a great tour overall.

今まで海外で色々なオプショナルツアーを体験しましたが、一番良かった。
船から飛び出したあと、少し上がったあと、一度、着水するのも良かった。
その後、一気に上空まで昇り、ダイナミックでした。
上空からのダイアモンドベッド、ワイキキビーチの眺めは最高でした。
飛んでいる時間は10分ぐらいでしたが、それ以上にいいツアーでした。

I didn't expect to be able to ride in such a short time. At first, we practiced paddling on the beach for a few minutes, and then we went straight to the ocean. Since I don't have the skill to read the waves, they helped me find my way. Honestly, it was my first time going that far, and while it was good at first, I gradually started to feel tired.

The muscles used the most in surfing might be in the neck and arms.

You look forward while riding the surfboard, so your neck is engaged, and your arms are moving with the paddle. Especially before catching a wave, you really have to paddle hard, which I think leads to fatigue. But when you finally catch a wave, all the costs and tiredness just disappear. You feel like you've accomplished something.

こんな短時間で乗れるとは思ってなかった。
初めは、パドリングを砂浜で，数分レッスンの後，即海へ。
波を見る技量が無いので探してくれる、そこまで行くのが正直初めてだとはじめはよいですが、徐々に体力が

サーフィンで1番筋肉を使うのが
首と腕かもしれません。笑

首はサーフボードに乗りながら前を見るので、腕はパドルで動かすので、特に波に乗る前にガンガン回すので、疲れが来ると思います。
でも、乗れた時は金額とか、疲れとか、もはや無いですね。乗れたってなります。

We had such a such a great time with Dan and Keico. They were very caring, excellent services. We saw a school of fish, beautiful tropical fishes, and a turtle! We would not be able to venture so far without their guide. Dan’s Japanese was exceptionally good, it is hard to believe he learned it in Hawaii! Thanks for the unforgettable experience!

I have a severe fear of heights, and I was hesitant, but I signed up because of my child's wishes, and it was for 150 meters. My hand gripping the rope was tense, and it was tough, but when I looked around, I was overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery of the blue sea and sky, Diamond Head, and Waikiki Beach. To top it off, a rainbow welcomed us. It lasted about 10 minutes. It became the best experience of this trip.

私は極度の高所恐怖症で、気乗りしませんでしたが、子供の希望もあり申込、しかも150メートルを。ロープを持つ手は力が入りすぎ、大変でしたが、周りを見渡すと、青い海と空、ダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキビーチと景色の素晴らしさに圧倒されてしまいました。おまけに、虹まで歓迎してくれました。時間にして10分程度でしたでしょうか。この旅行において、最高の体験となりました。

I was worried about the weather since I participated in January during the rainy season, but it was great weather! The waves were small, and it was perfect for stand-up paddleboarding! I enjoyed Kailua Beach and Lanikai Beach so much that I felt like I didn't have enough time. The instructors and the staff were friendly and very easy to talk to. Thank you, Tomo, for teaching me so patiently!

私が参加したのは1月の雨季ということで、天気はメッチャ心配していましたが、いいお天気！波も少なくsup日和とも仰っていました！時間が足りないくらい、カイルアビーチ、ラニカイビーチ楽しませていただきました。インストラクターの方も、お店の方も気さくで、とても接しやすかったです。tomoさん、丁寧に教えてくださり、ありがとうございました！

Kaneohe Bay was an unforgettable day on the water! The crew was welcoming and friendly, the music set the perfect vibe, and there were plenty of fun water activities to enjoy. The spacious deck provided a comfortable spot to relax right at the Sandbar, and the snorkeling experience was incredible, with some of the best fish to see up close. Highly recommend!

Amazing place and nice people will definetly go back again

We had a blast at the sandbar! The boat ride there was fantastic with great music and a fun crew. Once there we got to hop on the Banana Boat w/ Captain Calvin and he really made sure we were comfortable with the speed (thumbs up for faster, shaka for same speed, and thumbs down to slow it up). In addition to that helped setup a ride back to the shuttle spot since my aunt had trouble walking that far. The staff there are the best!

We got lucky and went by some sea turtles while out there on the banana boat. They swam right beneath us!

There was also live music on the boat and it was sooo good. Great songs, great musicians and singers. Wow!

We also got to kayak around and tried the stand-up paddle board for the first time. It was amazing to be out in the ocean surrounded by the beauty of the water and green mountains. It's truly magical, and I hope it stays that way forever. We should all respect it and guard it.

This should be a "must do" when traveling to Oahu!

I had booked parasailing at 150m and jet skiing with my husband, but due to strong winds, parasailing was not possible. They informed us that we could switch to a banana boat or a bumper tube, so we chose the bumper tube, which I had actually wanted to try! As a result, they refunded us the difference for upgrading from parasailing at 90m to 150m.

The staff at the reception were Japanese, and some of the staff who explained the operation spoke Japanese as well! Everyone was very friendly and kind, and we had a great time 😊. I was surprised that operating the jet ski was quite difficult, but it was fun. My husband was unsure about the bumper tube at first, but he kept saying it was the best crazy experience! 🤣

Next time we go to Hawaii, I want to try parasailing and visit the restaurant recommended by the staff for mochiko chicken! Thank you very much! ✨

旦那とパラセーリング150m+ジェットスキーを予約してましたが、風の強さでパラセーリングができなくなりバナナボートorバンパチューブに切り替える事もできるとの事だったので実はやってみたかったバンパチューブに切り替えてもらえました！
なので金額はパラセーリング90m→150mにランクアップした差額分だけ返金してくれました！

受付のスタッフさんは日本の方で、操縦の説明等してくれるスタッフさんは日本語が話せる方もいました！皆さんすごくフレンドリーで優しくて楽しかったです😊
ジェットスキーの操縦は意外と難しくてびっくりしましたが楽しく、旦那はバンパチューブとは？という感じでしたがクレイジーさに最高！と何度も言ってました🤣

またハワイに行ったら次はパラセーリングとスタッフさんおすすめのモチコチキンのお店に寄りたいと思います！
ありがとうございました✨

The ranch is so gorgeous, breathtaking! This duo was a wonderful day

I experienced parasailing, bumper tubing, and jet skiing. All of them were fun. The sea was beautiful, and it was the best experience.

パラセーリング、バンパーチューブ、ジェットスキーを体験しました。どれも楽しかったです。海も綺麗で最高の体験でした。

Even as a beginner at fishing, the crew helped me, and I had a great time. I caught three fish. The bait was squid, which I put on myself. It was fun.

釣りが初心者でも、クルーが助けてくれて、楽しめた。3匹も釣れた。エサはイカで自分でつける。楽しかった。

The water was crystal clear and riding the stand-up pedal board was such a great experience. Every staff was very kind and welcoming. Also, kudos to the two musicians on the boat. The songs they played made the experience more enjoyable.

Dan is awesome! He is helpful and professional during the tour. Highly recommended!

Staff is amazing and so kind! The sandbar is so clear and beautiful, we even saw a sea turtle paddle boarding around!

My first time at Hanauma Bay, and I wasn't sure about the arrangements like needing a reservation as an individual, but having a guide made me feel secure. They took us quite far out for snorkeling, and I encountered a honu (sea turtle). I had snorkeled many times in Okinawa, but this experience was on a completely different scale. It was very enjoyable and became a great memory. Thank you very much.

初めてのハナウマ湾、個人だと予約が必要など段取りが分かりませんでしたが、ガイドさんがいて安心でした。
シュノーケリングはかなり沖の方まで連れて行って貰えて、ホヌにも遭遇。シュノーケリング自体は沖縄で何度も経験済みでしたが、全然スケールが違いました。
とても楽しかったです。良い思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

I will turn 70 this year. The instructor taught me kindly in broken Japanese. I was worried about my arm strength, but when I got tired, he pulled me out to the open water. It was fun. I hesitated, but I'm glad I jumped in. Thank you, Ed.

今年70になります。インストラクターは、片言の日本語で丁寧に教えてくれます。腕の力があるか心配でしたが、疲れたときには沖まで引っ張って行ってくれました。楽しかった。迷いましたが飛び込んで良かった。エド先生ありがとう

The most turbulent part was on the way to the point. Although you won't get completely soaked since you go up and down from the boat, the captain ensures that your feet get dipped in the sea at least once as part of the service. It was quieter up in the air than I expected. It was calm and stable♪ I thought I should have experienced this much sooner since it was so much fun.

一番揺れたのは、ポイントに行くまでの間でした。船上から上がり船上に戻るので、びしょ濡れにはなりませんが、船長のサービスで、足が海に浸かるくらいまでは必ず一度落とされます。上空では思ってたよりも静か。穏やかで安定してました♪こんなに楽しいなら、もっと早く経験すれば良かったと思いました。

Smooth boat ride to the sandbar. Lunch was enjoyable. Music was wonderful. Staff was friendly and attentive. Other than the weather which is uncontrollable, we had a wonderful time.

It was an incredibly satisfying snorkeling experience! All the concerns I had were addressed by the two staff members. I was particularly worried about managing valuables like my wallet, passport, and smartphone, but they provided a locked case for safe storage, which made me feel secure.

Moreover, I was deeply moved when I unexpectedly encountered three sea turtles swimming right in front of me, which is said to be a rare experience.

We swam quite a bit, but since children can participate, I'm sure anyone can manage it! Since it was a January morning, it felt a bit chilly after swimming, so I was glad I brought a hoodie and a towel.

As long as I don't oversleep, it will definitely be the best day! If I come to Hawaii again, I would absolutely want to sign up for this tour.

Thank you so much!

大満足のシュノーケリングでした！！
不安に思っていたことは全てスタッフのお二人が解消してくれました。
特に、財布やパスポート、スマホ等、貴重品の管理が不安でしたが、鍵付きのケースにまとめて保管していただけるので安心でした。

また、あまり出会うことの出来ないと言われる海亀が、偶然3匹も目の前に現れ一緒に泳いでくれたときはとても感動しました。

けっこう泳ぎましたが、子どもが参加することもあるくらいなので、きっと大丈夫です！
１月の朝ということもあり、泳ぎ終わったときは少し寒かったので、パーカーなど羽織るものやタオルを持っていっていて良かったと思いました。

寝坊さえしなければ
最高の1日になること間違いなしでしょう！
もしまたハワイに来ることがあれば
必ずこのツアーに申し込みたいと思えるほどです。

本当にありがとうございました！

At the beginning of January, there are no sandbars due to the rainy season, and the water is about waist-deep. However, you can enjoy plenty of kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling. We also tried the banana boat, which was quite intense. The live music on the boat was excellent, and all the staff spoke a bit of Japanese and engaged with us a lot, which made it very enjoyable.

1月初めは雨季のためサンドバーはなく、腰くらいまで水に浸かります。ですがカヤック、SUP、シュノーケリングをたっぷり楽しめます。バナナボートもやりましたが、結構激しめでした。ボートでは生演奏がとても良かったのとスタッフ全員片言の日本語でたくさん話しかけてくれ、とても楽しかったです。
