All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

We visited Hawaii for our honeymoon and tried parasailing for the first time. I was nervous until we took off because I'm not great with the feeling of floating, but once we were up in the air, it felt amazing and the view was beautiful—it was the best! The local instructor was very cheerful and bright, and even though all five groups on the same boat were Japanese, everyone was able to communicate and have fun with the instructor.

The airtime was less than 10 minutes, but both my husband and I were very satisfied. If you're hesitating, I definitely recommend giving it a try! I will definitely do it again when I go back to Hawaii!

新婚旅行でハワイに訪れ、初めてのパラセーリングに挑戦してみました。私は浮遊感が苦手なので、飛び始めるまで緊張してましたが、いざ上空に行くととーーーっても気持ちがよく景色も綺麗で最高でした。インストラクターの現地の方もとても陽気で明るく、同じボートに乗った5組全員日本人でしたが、みんながみんな楽しくインストラクターの方とコミュニケーションを取れていました。
滞空時間は10分未満でしたが、それでも私も旦那さんも大満足でした。
迷っていたら是非体験することをおすすめします！
またハワイに行ったら必ずやります！

I had an amazing time! Everyone on the staff was great! We rode a banana boat, and the local guide took us to a spot where we could see sea turtles! The snorkeling was beautiful too, as the fish gathered when we scattered food! And the ocean was just stunning! My daughters, who are 8 and 6 years old, are already saying they want to go back.

めちゃくちゃ楽しめました！スタッフみんなが良い人！バナナボートに乗りましたが、牽引してくれる現地の方が海亀のいるところに連れて行ってくれました！シュノーケリングも餌をまくと魚が集まって来て綺麗でした！そしてとにかく海が綺麗！8歳と歳6歳の娘達もまた行きたいと言っています。

I went parasailing with my grandchild this time. The staff was friendly, and I felt safe doing it! My grandchild is saying they want to do it again.

孫と一緒にパラセーリングを今回しました。
Staffは親切で安心して出来ました！
孫もまたやりたいと言ってます。

The blue sky and the incredibly clear water. The staff's music added to the excitement of the Hawaii trip. Additionally, there are various activities available, so you can either be fully active or take it easy and relax.

青空と最高に澄み切った水。
スタッフさんの音楽がまたHAWAII旅をさらに盛り上げてくれました。また、いろいろなアクティビティがあるのでフルに動くもよし、休憩しながゆっくり過すのもいいと思います。

Clear guidance of the whole tour, helpful crew and they are passionate about making your tour pleasant. Definitely suggesting all to have this tour

The experience of moving while listening to live Hawaiian music on the boat was amazing! I chose this plan to do SAP in the heavenly sea, and we were able to do SAP, snorkeling, and kayaking all in turns! Before we played, the staff always taught us how to do it. The staff were from overseas, but most of them spoke Japanese well, which was a great help! Since the playtime was long, I think it would be nice to take photos while waiting. In reviews of other tours, there were mentions of photo purchases being charged, but here there was none of that; in fact, the staff took pictures with our own phones, so I definitely recommend bringing a waterproof case for your phone! Even if you hang your phone around your neck to keep it dry, there’s a chance you might flip over in SAP and fall into the sea headfirst, so if it's not waterproof, your phone could be in trouble. I was worried because of reviews saying the boat was cold, and indeed, when I returned to the boat soaked from snorkeling, it felt so cold that my lips were numb. The drinks on the boat were only cold ones. So, after enjoying SAP at the end and warming up in the sun before returning to the boat, I felt much better about the cold. There were participants from various countries, and people of all ages, from small children to the elderly, and everyone seemed to be having fun. If you want to feel Hawaii, I recommend this plan! 😊

ハワイアンミュージックの生演奏を船上で聴きながらの移動が最高でした！天国の海でSAPが出来るプランを探してこちらを選びましたが、交代でSAPもシュノーケリングもカヤックも全て出来ました！遊ぶ前に必ずスタッフがやり方を教えてくれます。スタッフは海外の方ですが、ほとんどの方が日本語上手で助かりました！遊べる時間も長いので、待っている間に写真撮影などすれば良いと思います。他のツアーの口コミでは、写真の購入が有料だったなどありますが、こちらは一切そういうのは無く、なんならスタッフが自分たちの携帯で撮影してくれるので、必ず防水ケースに入った携帯を持参することをオススメします！首から濡れないように携帯を下げていたとしても、SAPでひっくり返って頭から海に落ちる事もあるので、防水じゃないと携帯がやばいことになります。船内が寒いとの口コミがあり不安でしたが、確かにシュノーケリングをして全身濡れた状態で船内に戻ると、口が悴むほど寒く感じました。船内のドリンクは冷たいのしか無いですし。なので、最後にSAPを楽しみながら身体を太陽で温めてから船内に戻ると、だいぶ寒さはマシに感じました。参加者にはいろいろな国の方がいて、年齢も小さな子からお年寄りの方がいて、みんな楽しんでいるようでした。ハワイを感じたい方は、こちらのプランがオススメです＾＾

My family and I really enjoyed the sandbar trip with Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports. They provided all of the needed sporting equipment (paddle boards, kayaks, snorkels, life vests). The paddle boarding was challenging and fun. Seeing the tropical fish and the coral reef were for me the best experience of the trip. The half day trip was the perfect amount of time on the sandbar. I also appreciated the free donuts and fruit juice (beer for purchase), and the live entertainment. My wife remained in the enclosed boat. Though the musicians didn't perform while at the sandbar, she enjoyed the relaxing views of the bay.

The mountains visible from the car window on the way to Kailua Beach were impressive, and Lanikai Beach was also very beautiful.

カイルアビーチに行くまでの車窓から見える山もかっこよかったし、ラニカイビーチもとってもキレイでした。

Even though I don't understand English, the staff explained everything clearly with gestures. My younger child and I are a bit timid, so it felt like half fun and half scary. My wife and older child seemed to have a great time. There were about 10 customers during my experience, and each session lasted around 10 minutes, with two people experiencing it at a time. So we were on the boat for about an hour, and my family felt a little queasy.

英語がわからかなくても、スタッフの方がジェスチャーを混じえてしっかり説明してくれました。私と下の子は怖がりなので、楽しい半分怖さ半分と言う感じでした。妻と上の子はめちゃくちゃ楽しかったようです。私のときは10人のお客さんがいて、1回の体験がだいたい10分くらいで、2人ずつ順番に体験します。なので1時間くらいはボートに揺られ、うちの家族はみんな少し気持ち悪いかなくらいでした。

November in Hawaii is the rainy season, and my reservation was canceled just before the start date. I received an email saying to call the English-only reception, so if the weather looks suspicious, it's better to change your reservation on the website in advance. The day after I rescheduled, I flew through a rainy sky and saw a rainbow at my feet. I didn't have the luxury to take leisurely photos, but my feelings were: scary! Beautiful! Amazing! Quiet!

Luggage is stored in the space under the seat on the boat. A few times, I was splashed up to my waist or chest. If your hotel is nearby, you can return there afterward, but if it's far, there aren't many places to change (maybe just a public restroom on the beach after a bit of walking), so be careful about getting wet.

11月のハワイは雨季なのもあら予約日は開始直前で開催中止になりました。
英語のみの受付に電話する様にメールが来るので、天気が怪しい場合は先にサイトから予約変更するといいです。
振り替えた翌日はお天気雨の中飛んで、足元に虹が見えました。
ノンビリ写真を撮ってる余裕なんて無かったですが、怖い！綺麗！スゴい！静か！という感想です。

荷物は船の座席下のスペースに置いて飛びます。
海面には何度か腰下〜胸元くらいまでは落とされビシャビシャになります。
ホテルが近いなら終わった後にホテルに戻ればいいですが、ホテルが遠いと着替える場所とかはないので(あってもしばらく歩いたビーチの公衆トイレくらい)濡れたままでどうしよう…となるので気を付けてください。

My family has been in Hawaii for a week, and one of the last things we had to do was take a boat tour to Kaneohe sandbar. It came very highly recommended to us, so I found this tour and booked it! Mannnnn, this was THE SINGLE BEST thing we did all week. The boat crew was amazing. Captain Calvin was stellar, along with the whole entire crew. We were so impressed with how much fun we had! The weather was perfect for snorkeling, the kids had the best time being whipped around the ocean on the banana boat, the food was good, the music was amazing! Everything was just perfect. I didn’t want to get off the boat. Cannot lie, the Hawaiian people are the best people. Their kindness is unmatched. We had a great time. Thank you to everyone who made our boating experience amazing.

Loved the crew. My fourth time, my children’s second time and my son’s girlfriend’s first time. Swimming by and with turtles. Like heaven y set water with the fish. Next time I am in Hawaii, will return! Thank you

Since I started going to Hawaii, this must be my seventh or eighth time experiencing the sandbar, and the staff provided excellent safety management and support. I am truly grateful. Thank you very much.

ハワイに行き始めてから、何度目になるでしょうか、サンドバーも７～８回くらい体験しておりますが、スタッフの方々が安全管理等素晴らしい対応をして頂きました。
本当に、感謝いたします。ありがとうございました。

Dan and Cheiko make everyone very safe and comfortable especially for beginners. Easy to follow them and they are nice and patient. If you are the first time snorkeling, highly recommend to take this tour! Worth it!

This is such an awesome trip and with the perfect amount of time to still do other things back on the island. The trip to the sandbar and back was its own experience in itself with the donuts, juice and live music. That live music was AMAZING, they are so talented and sing so well. I can’t wait to come back again and bring my kids!

Awesome.
Value for money. Worth every penny I paid for. Punctuated my honeymoon ending on a high note.

We participated as a couple.
We've been to Hawaii several times, but this was our first time signing up for this activity.
It was really fun! It was a unique experience that you can only have in Hawaii. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean, and the scenery from above was amazing.
There were only two groups, including us, and since the ride was just under 40 minutes, we didn't feel too seasick. If there had been more groups, we might have felt nauseous.
We stayed at a hotel with an ocean view, so even after the experience, we enjoyed seeing from our balcony, "Oh, they're parasailing! That's the one we did!" every time we looked out.

夫婦2人で参加しました。
何回かハワイに行ってますが、初めて申し込みました。
結果とても楽しかったです！ハワイならではの貴重な経験ですね。海側から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッド、空から見渡す景色は最高でした。
私たち含めて2組のみで、乗船時間も40分弱くらいだったため、そこまで船酔いはありませんでした。組数が多くてもっと乗っていたら酔ったかもしれませんが。
海が正面に見えるホテルに泊まっていたので、ベランダから「あ、パラセーリングしてる！あれ私たちが飛んだやつ！」って終わったあとの日々もなんか見るたびに楽しめましたね。

I was guided by a Japanese guide (Chieko and Dan) and had a one-on-one snorkeling experience, where I was able to dive for the first time for an hour. I also saw a turtle.

日本人ガイド(チエコさんダンちゃん)さんに案内されて、マンツーマンでシュノケリングが出来て、1時間も初めて潜れました。亀も見れました。

This was probably one of my favorite activities that I’ve ever done in all of my visits to Oahu. On the short boat ride over to the sandbar we were treated to live music, drinks, sandwiches and an explanation of what we would be doing for the day.
We started by stand-up paddle boarding, then as we were relaxing and floating we saw a turtle cruise by the area. The captain asked if we would like to see some turtles. Of course we said yes, and he took our small group out to the area where turtles are known to be. What an amazing experience! There were probably more than 10! After that we were lucky enough to have Captain Calvin tell us about this sacred place. He grew up close by.
Every single crew member was kind,helpful and genuinely interested in everyone having a good time. They made sure to explain each activity. They provided snorkel gear, stand-up paddle boards, and kayaks. I would say that this is great for couples, families, pretty much anybody.. There was a really cool floating dock with seating and an area with a volleyball net.
Some people had added banana boat rides and tube rides. I think it’s really cool to be able to add extras if you want them. The people who did it looked like they were having a lot of fun!
On our next trip to Oahu, we will definitely come back.

I participated in the first reservation of the day. I was a bit nervous before it started, but once I took off, it was fun, beautiful, and felt amazing—just the best! I was a bit concerned that the color of the sea was different from what I expected and that I could only see Diamond Head at the very end, but I thought it was understandable since it depends on the time of day, wind direction, and weather. I believe I can see new scenery every time, so I would love to do it again if I have the chance. Lastly, I found the time on the boat to be scarier than flying in the air... The boat moves as if it's bouncing over the waves, so I think it's better to be prepared for that!

　朝一番の予約で参加しました。
　始まる前は少し緊張しましたが、いざ飛んでみれば、楽しくてキレイで気持ちよくて、最高でした！
　海の色が思っていた色と違ったこと、ダイヤモンドヘッドが終わり間際にしか見られなかったこと、などが気になりましたが、参加する時間帯やその日の風向き、天気に左右されるから、仕方ないかなと思いました。
　毎回新しい景色が見られると思うので、機会があればまたやりたいです。
　最後に、空を飛ぶ間よりも、船に乗ってる時間の方が、私には怖かったです…。船が、波の上を跳ねるように進むので、覚悟して参加した方がいいと思います！

It was amazing. Seeing Waikiki from the sky is exceptional. I made the reservation the day before, but the process went smoothly. The meeting point is near the Prince Hotel.

Be aware that you'll need to pay 1 dollar at check-in. Once a few groups gather, we set sail. The boat can sway quite a bit, so be cautious. You can store your belongings in the boat's shelves, but it's recommended to bring only the essentials.

Now, up into the sky. I tried taking photos with a transparent phone case that hangs around my neck. There were some brave souls flying while holding their smartphones directly in their hands.

You can take plenty of pictures in the air, but don't forget to imprint the breathtaking views in your memory as well. In the end, we dove into the sea to finish. I was very satisfied. You can also request photo shooting for 40 dollars.

最高でした。空から見るワイキキは格別です。
予約は前日でしたが、すんなりと手続き完了。集合場所はプリンスホテルの近くです。
受付時に1ドルいるので要注意。
何組か集まれば出港です。船は結構揺れるのでご注意を。
荷物は船の棚に入れられますが、最小限がお勧めです。
いぞ、空へ。私は首からかける透明のスマホケースで撮影を試みました。スマホをそのまま手に持って飛ぶツワモノもいました。
空中では十分撮影できます。ただ自分の目に絶景を焼き付けることもお忘れなく。
最後は海にダイブして終了。大満足でした。
40ドルで写真撮影もお願いできます。

The wind was a bit strong, and there were some waves, but it was less rocky than I expected. The crew was also very kind and made me feel safe, allowing me to enjoy the experience.

少し風が強く､波もあったのですが思ったよりも揺れも少なく､クルーも親切に対応してくれて安心して楽しめました。

It was amazing up to 150 meters above ground.
I had a very enjoyable time while looking at Diamond Head.
If you ask the staff for photos, it costs $40, and you can get an SD card.

150メートル上空まで最高でした。
ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めながら、とても楽しい時間でした。
写真もスタッフにお願いすると40💲て、SDカードもらえます。

It's very convenient since transportation is included. Using CHIEKO's fins as a marker, it felt very safe and comfortable. I was quite impressed to see turtles coming up to the surface for air several times. We were all thrilled to see turtles in a different location as well. Of course, there were plenty of fish too. Since both my husband and I are 65 years old, we would love to go again if we have the chance. Thank you, CHIEKO!

送迎付きですのでとにかく便利です。CHIEKOさんの足ひれを目印にとても安全でとても気持ちがよく、亀が呼吸のために水面に顔を出すしぐさを数回見られかなり感激しました。また違う場所で亀を見られて参加者皆またまた感激。もちろん魚もたくさんいました。夫婦共に65歳なので機会があればまた行きたいと思っています。CHIEKOさんに感謝です。

The weather was great, the staff were amazing, and the conditions for both the sea and the boat were perfect.
Seeing the Diamond Head and the city of Waikiki from offshore was also a delight.
I have added another wonderful memory to my collection.
Next time, I want to try a different time slot.
I recommend it to anyone with a little free time.

I took motion sickness medication based on other people's reviews and participated. At first, the speed of the boat was quite fast, and it felt like I was on a roller coaster, so I wasn't worried about getting seasick. The parasailing was at a high altitude, but I didn't feel scared at all, and I could see many tall buildings, which was very pleasant. My elderly mother had no issues and said she would like to participate again. A foreign couple in their 70s who were on the same boat mentioned it was their third time, so it seems there are many repeat customers!

他の方の口コミも参考にして、酔い止めを内服して参加しました。
最初かなり船のスピードが速く、ジェットコースターに乗っているような気分だったので
酔うかもしれないと心配になることはありませんでした。
パラセーリングは高い位置でしたが、全然怖さも感じず、高いビルもたくさん見えて
とても気持ちよかったです。
高齢の母も問題なく、また参加したいと言ってました。
同じ船に乗っていた70歳代の外国人夫婦は3回目とのことで、リピーターが多そうです！

I participated in snorkeling for the first time with my friends. Thanks to Chieko-sensei's kind instruction, I was able to swim very happily. I saw a lot of fish as well. I want to do it again!

初めてのシュノーケリングを友達と参加しました。ちえこ先生が優しく教えてくれたおかげで、とても楽しく泳ぐことができました。たくさんお魚も見れました。またやりたいです

Best tour to snorkel, tube rides and banana boat rides.

Had a great time on and off the boat. Lots of snorkeling, tubing, banana boat, kayaking, and paddling. Recommend to everyone

The sea was incredibly beautiful! It was a bit cloudy, so it would have been even more stunning on a sunny day. There were fish around the rocky areas, but you have to go quite far out to find more rocky spots, so the elementary school kids couldn't reach the areas where the fish were. However, we had a great time just at the water's edge, so I was very satisfied! The lunch was delicious no matter what we chose! We made wonderful memories!!

とっても綺麗な海でした！少し曇りぎみだったので晴天だったらもっと綺麗だったんだろーなぁ。
岩場には魚もいましたが結構沖まで行かないとあまり岩場はないので小学生では魚がいるような岩場までは行けませんでした。
でも波打ち際だけでもかなり楽しんでいたので大満足です！
ランチもどれを選んでも美味しかったです！いい思い出が作れました！！
