All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

Just considering the line of cars waiting from early morning and the queue for entry, you can already see the value of the tour. There’s no competition for reservations, making it easy to plan. Additionally, there are some insider tips, and the specialists share insights about the highlights and features of Hanauma Bay that we would never discover or experience on our own. For those who are familiar with Hanauma Bay and may visit multiple times in the future, I highly recommend experiencing this at least once. The ocean is truly wonderful, as are the two of you. Until we meet again, mahalo.

早朝から順番待ちの車の列と、入園待ちの列を考えたら、それだけでもツアーの価値が分かります。予約争奪戦も有りませんので、予定が立てやすい。更に裏ワザがちらほらあり、見どころスポやハナウマ湾の特徴などの、スペシャリストだから知る物を教えて下さり、私たちだけ頑張っても決して分からない、体験出来ない経験です。ハナウマ湾へ行きなれた、これからも複数回行くかも知れない人は、1度体験をオススメします。とても素晴らしい海とお二人です。またお会いする日までマハロ

beautiful day on the sand bar with great music and organization with tons of activities included (kayaking, paddle board, snorkeling). felt very safe even with two small kids in the open ocean. highly recommend for families!

On the round-trip boat, there was a lively atmosphere with live music. While playing with the SPU and canoe, the staff amusingly helped pull us back when we were about to drift out of the safe zone, allowing us to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. During snorkeling, we were given food to attract the colorful tropical fish, and we were able to enjoy the beautiful waters of Hawaii.

往復の船の中では、雰囲気満点の生演奏。
SPUやカヌーで遊んでいて、風で安全区域から出そうになると係の方々が面白おかしく、引き戻し助けてくださり、安心して遊ぶ事ができました。
シュノーケリングでは、餌を持たせてもらい、色とりどりの南国の魚達が側に集まって、美しいハワイの海を楽しむことが出来ました。

Great experience family 1st time snorkeling guide funny and made you feel comfortable in the water

It was possible to apply on the day, and I was looking for something that was quick and reasonably priced. We were the only Japanese people there, which made us a bit anxious, but it turned out to be a fun time! I was really happy to see the dolphins up close!

当日の申込みでも可能で、短時間、価格も手頃なものを探していました。
日本人は、私たちだけで、少し不安もありましたが、楽しいひとときどした！
そして、本当にイルカを間近で見ることができて嬉しかったです！

Thank you for your support.
We went to Hawaii as a family to celebrate my 88-year-old mother's birthday.
Ten years ago, my mother joined us on a trip, and this time she wanted to try parasailing.
Given her age, we were concerned about whether she could handle it, so we researched and found experience photos on the website featuring people of a similar age, which reassured us, and we made the reservation.
The staff at the reception were friendly and accommodating, which eased our worries as we boarded the boat.
The crew on board were also very kind and attentive to safety, allowing for a reassuring flight.
As expected, the strong winds provided a refreshing view at 150 meters in a short time, and my 88-year-old mother was extremely happy and satisfied with the experience.
Our family prepared a waterproof camera and a GoPro to take photos and videos, but due to the boat's rocking, some of the shots didn't turn out well.
Additionally, it seemed that another passenger wanted a commemorative photo but hadn't requested it in advance. I think it would be good to have a pre-announcement or to have continuous photography on board, checking for purchase options upon return.
Thank you very much.

88歳の母のお祝い記念で家族でハワイに行きました。
10年前に一緒に行った母が今回パラセイリングにチャレンジを希望
88歳の高齢でもあり心配をしチャレンジできるかを調査、Webサイトの体験写真に同年代らしき写真があり問題ないと判断し申し込みました。
窓口スタッフの方も新設にフレンドリーに対応していただき心配もなく乗船、
船上スタッフの方も大変親切に安全に気を使っていただき安心にフライト、
当然ですが強い風の勢いで短時間に150メートル爽快な眺めと体験したことのない感覚で88歳の母も大変喜んで満足しました。
私たち家族は防水カメラ、GOProカメラ等を準備し写真やビデオを撮りましたが船上の揺れ等で少しうまく撮れていませんでした。
また同乗した方は記念写真が欲しかったようで事前にスタッフに希望していなかったようでした。事前アナウンスをされるか、常時船上から撮影をし戻った時に購入の有無を確認するやり方もいいのかなと思いました
大変ありがとうございました

I cannot express how grateful I am for Dan and this snorkel tour! My son is autistic and was struggling with understanding the equipment and started to panic. Dan very calmly and kindly took him under his wing. Before we knew it, my son was the leader of the pack! I even got a little seasick and Dan (without judgment) helped me back to the beach to rest. He also picked us up at our hotel and was so easy to talk to and open to any questions we had. I would 100% do this tour again! Thanks Dan!

You can enjoy a beautiful sea as far as the eye can see. Since life jackets are provided, both adults and children can play safely. The fact that boats and stand-up paddleboards (SUP) are available for free is also a great attraction.

見渡す限りのきれいな海が堪能できます。救命具をつけるので大人から子供まで安心して遊べます。ボートやSUPが無料で使えるのも魅力です。

I had fun doing kayaking, SUP, and snorkeling. My niece was a little afraid but the lifeguard on duty was so nice. She even left her use the lifeguard belt thingy. Also the guy who was watching out for everyone who strayed too far past the yellow border for SUP was amazing. Sorry we couldn’t get the hang of it! Go earlier the better. The tide is lower. Consider this when thinking of what you’d like to do.

It was a great time captain and mate was great def made our experience twice as fun

It rises up to 150 meters, and there is a sense of tension until that moment, but the fear lasts only for an instant. The view from up high is amazing. My husband, who has a fear of heights, also enjoyed it. There was stability without any significant swaying in the air. You are instructed to put away your phone, but if you're confident you won't drop it, you could probably take it up with you. (I didn't do that, though.) The moving boat does sway, so motion sickness medication is a must!

150mまで上昇、その瞬間まで緊張感はありますが、怖いと思うのは一瞬だけ。高いところからの景色が最高です。
高所恐怖症の夫も楽しめていました。
空中で大きく揺れることもなく安定感がありました。
ケータイを仕舞うように指示されますが、落とさない自信があるなら空まで持って行けそうです。
（私はしませんでしたが）
移動の船は揺れるので、酔い止め必須です！

This was my first time participating. I was worried about the check-in since I can't speak English, but the staff member helped me, and I was able to check in without any issues. There are also Japanese guidelines available.

Everyone goes barefoot on the boat, so wearing beach sandals or sneakers is fine. We brought a waterproof phone case to keep our money and card keys, but there was space under the benches on the boat for luggage, so some people participated with bags or backpacks (though they might get wet).

The boat moves at quite a speed, so depending on the wave height, it can jump and there can be quite a jolt. If you are prone to seasickness, I think it's safer to take motion sickness medication.

The start is on the boat, but since you will be landing in the water, I think it's better to have a towel if you're concerned. We dried off quite a bit on the way back to the boarding area.

The photo data was provided on an SD card and iPhone for about $40 for around 100 pictures, and after disembarking, we were able to view the photos and decide whether to purchase them.

The activity itself was an extraordinary experience and very enjoyable! The color of the ocean and the view of Honolulu were beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone interested.

初めて参加しました。
英語が話せないのでチェックインから心配していましたが、店員のお姉さんに声をかけていただき無事にできました。日本語の規約もあります。
船上で全員裸足になるのでビーチサンダルでもスニーカーでも問題ありません。
私たちは防水の携帯ケースにお金やカードキーを入れて持っていきましたが、船のベンチの下に荷物を入れるスペースがあったので、鞄やリュックで参加されている方もいました。(濡れる可能性はあります。
船はかなりのスピードで進むので、波の高さによっては船がジャンプしたり結構衝撃がありました。船酔いしやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだ方が安心だと思います。
スタートは船上ですが、着水するので気になる方はタオルがあった方が良いと思います。乗船場に帰る間に結構乾きました。
写真のデータはSDカードとiPhoneに入れてもらって40$100枚くらいで、下船後に写真を見せてもらって購入するか決められました。
アクティビティ自体は非日常体験でとても楽しかったです！海の色とホノルルの景色がとても綺麗でした。興味ある方にはぜひお勧めしたいです。

The guidance was very kind, and luckily, I was able to see turtles! I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance for those who are prone to seasickness! The water was murkier than I expected, and there were fewer fish. The view from above was spectacular! Thank you! ^_^

とても親切に案内してくださり、ラッキーなことに亀が見れました！！
波酔いする方は事前に酔い止めを飲むことをおすすめします！
思っていたよりも水が濁っていて魚は少なかったです！
上から見る景色は絶景でした！
ありがとうございました^_^

My family and I loved the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure. There was something for everyone to do. We also just enjoyed sitting on the water couch watching everyone else enjoy themselves. The staff was super friendly and helpful!

This trip was so much fun! All of the staff was so friendly and helpful! You really felt like royalty enjoying the island. The music on the way out to the sand bar had the whole boat singing and dancing. The SUP's and floating lounge were an awesome, not extra cost addition to the adventure. Looking forward to our next journey with this awesome crew!

It wasn't as scary as I thought, and the scenery was amazing. There was someone in the same group who got sick. The boat sways quite a bit, so it's better to take motion sickness medication. Although I didn't get sick, there were others who looked unwell. It seems customary to give a tip when getting off the boat. I was disappointed when I was told that they couldn't take my photo because the camera battery died.

思ったよりも怖くなく景色が最高でした。
同じグループで吐いてしまった人がいました。
船がかなり揺れるので、酔い止めは飲んだ方がいいです。吐いてはいないけれど他にも気分が悪そうな人がいました。
船を降りる時にチップを渡すのが普通みたいです。
写真を頼んでいたのに、カメラのバッテリー切れで撮れなかったと言われた時は残念でした。

We participated as a group of three.
First, the boat ride to the point had high waves, which added to the thrill of the attraction.
I didn't expect all three of us to ride together, so I was a bit flustered. It was nice to know that we could hold our smartphones while jumping, and the footage we captured became a great memory.
Since it was a windy day, two out of the three of us got seasick. Please be careful about the position of the belt, as it can get uncomfortable.
It was a fun experience that you don't get to have often.

３人で参加しました。
まずポイントに行くまでのボートも波が高くてアトラクション感がありました。
３人で同時に乗れるとは思ってなかったので少し慌てました。スマホを持って飛んでもいいとの事で飛び上がって撮った映像が良い記念になりました。
この日は風が強かったため３人中２人が船酔いしました。苦しくなるのでベルトの位置に注意して下さい。
なかなか出来ない経験なので楽しかったです。

One of the best experiences I have ever had. We have snorkeled and saw so many fishes. Like the crystal clean water and kayaking ., what else ., a complete package with live music and drink.

The guidance was in English, but there were no issues. I was able to see dolphins and honu (sea turtles). Departing from the Sheraton beach made the travel easy.

英語での案内でしたが、
問題無かったです。
イルカやホヌも見る事ができました。
シェラトンのビーチからの出航で
移動も楽でした。

Aloha! Do not hesitate to book this excursion! Everything about this experience exceeded my expectations. The staff were all so gracious and professional. Pack plenty of water and snacks. We took our waterproof , bluetooth speaker as well. Be prepared to paddle , take breaks when needed . Be aware of jellyfish as well. Maybe wear long sleeves, and leggings just to be cautious. Mahalo

I participated in snorkeling and relaxing at a beautiful beach. After arriving at the shop, I received explanations and safety instructions from the staff member Natsue, and then quickly rented a bicycle along with an optional snorkeling set and mat to head to Lanikai Beach, which has been ranked number one in the U.S. It took about 10 minutes by bike. The beach was quiet with few people, and it was truly beautiful. While snorkeling, I was able to see many tropical fish around the coral even close to the shore. Unfortunately, I didn't encounter any honu (sea turtles), but it's said that you might see them if you're lucky.

I spent the morning at Lanikai Beach and returned to the shop for lunch. From the lunch options, I chose pizza and loco moco. The pizza was very large and delicious.

In the afternoon, I rented a beach chair and went to Kailua Beach. This beach had facilities like showers and restrooms, and there were families enjoying the seawater. I placed my beach chair in the shade of the trees along the shore and relaxed while occasionally going into the water until it was time to head back.

If you have any questions while you're there, you can ask the staff member Natsue, and she will help you. Fortunately, the weather was also great, and I had a wonderful time. I recommend this place for those who want to enjoy a quiet and beautiful beach.

綺麗なビーチでシュノーケリング＆のんびりしたく参加しました。
お店に到着後、スタッフのなつえさんから説明や注意事項を聞き、すぐに自転車とオプションのシュノーケリングセット、ゴザを借り全米で一番になったこともあるラニカイビーチへ。自転車で１０分ほどです。人も少なく、静かで本当に綺麗なビーチでした。シュノーケリングをしましたが、海岸近くでも珊瑚の周りに熱帯魚を沢山見ることが出来ました。残念ながらホヌ（海亀）には出会うことは出来ませんでしたが、運が良ければ出会えるそうです。

午前中をラニカイビーチで過ごし、お店に戻りランチ。選べるランチの中からピザとロコモコを選びました。ピザはとても大きく美味しかったです。

午後はビーチチェアを借りてカイルアビーチへ。こちらはシャワーやトイレなどの設備があり家族連れで海水浴される方がいらっしゃいました。
海岸の木陰にビーチチェアを置き、時々海に入りながら、帰りの時間までのんびりと過ごしました。

現地で分からないことがあれば、スタッフのなつえさんに聞けば解決できました。
運良く天気にも恵まれ楽しめました。
静かで綺麗なビーチで遊びたい方にはお勧めです。

It was a condensed plan! The Kaneohe Bay cruise included a shuttle bus to the boat, which was an activity in itself, and it felt refreshing with the windows wide open. We rode on two types of boats, walked on the island, and the sea was beautiful. We were able to see coral reefs and honu in the shallow waters, and everywhere we looked was a photo opportunity; it was all so beautiful and thoroughly enjoyable.

The movie location bus tour had us boarding at the end, so our family of four ended up sitting separately... But in a way, it allowed us to interact with tourists from overseas. There was only one other Japanese group besides us.

The bus driver and guide performed a hula dance at the end, and it was incredibly moving! Even without a costume, there was an instant beautiful aura. I felt that this dance was a prayer.

My teenage son said he wants to experience something more active next time, like horseback riding or buggies, but my grandmother in her 70s was very happy with everything. We also bought the photos taken before the tour as a keepsake on our way back. I highly recommend it.

凝縮されたプランでした!
カネオヘ湾クルーズは、船までの送迎バスもアクテビティのひとつ、窓全開で爽快でした。船も2種類に乗り、島を歩くし、海も綺麗、浅瀬ではサンゴ礁やホヌも見ることができて、道中、どこをとっても、全ての景色がフォトチャンス、綺麗で、大満喫でした。
映画ロケ地バスツアーは、最後に並んで乗り込んでしまったので、家族4人がばらばらの相席に‥。それもそれで、海外からの観光客と、交流できたように思います。日本人は、私たちの他に1組だけいらっしゃいました。
バスのドライバー兼ガイドさんが、最後に、フラを踊ってくれたのですが、その踊りが、大変感動的でした！衣装をきてなくても、一瞬で美しいオーラに。この踊りは祈りなんだなと、感じました。
10代の息子は次は、馬とかバギーとかアクティブなものを体験したいと言ってましたが、70代の祖母は、どれも大変喜んでました。ツアー前に撮ってもらった写真も、帰りに記念に買ってきました。お勧めです。

It's an early morning tour, so snorkeling starts at 9 AM. Even in Hawaii, it's cold. It was that cold in June, so winter will be even colder. If possible, a thin wetsuit is recommended; if not, a long-sleeve rash guard is essential. Also, please make sure to wear marine shoes in areas with lots of fish. Additionally, no Japanese is spoken at all, and all pickup locations and times are in English, so those who can't speak English might want to reconsider.

朝が早いツアーなので

I checked the tide chart and made a reservation to go, but the water level was about knee-high, so I went snorkeling. It was a bit murky, but I was able to see tropical fish swimming. The weather was a little bad, so it was a bit cold. The staff were friendly.

潮見表で確認して予約して行きましたが、ひざ上ぐらいの水位があったのでシュノーケリングをしました。少し濁り気味でしたが熱帯魚が泳いでいるようすは見れました。ちょっと天候が悪かったので少し寒かったです。スタッフさんは親切でした。

Great tour guide, was funny and knowledgeable. Only problem was that the waters were murky from the waves at the time so weren’t able to see anything through the glass but we did see a turtle in the water. Was nice to be out on the boat.

Wow! What an awesome afternoon spent on the sandbar! The staff are wonderful, the location is breathtaking, the activities endless!! Just book it! You won’t regret it. Memories that I will treasure forever!

The whole experience was top quality.
The staff, the safety and the activity.
We had a blast.

I was really looking forward to coming to Kualoa Ranch since I've watched the Jurassic Park series countless times with my son. After arriving in Hawaii, I finally made it to this dream destination. The moment I saw the movie scenery in person, I was so moved that I got goosebumps! Not only from the Jurassic series, but also from movies like "50 First Dates," which I had watched without knowing it was filmed here, and "Kong," which I saw on the ANA flight. I was constantly surprised to find that many movies I had seen were filmed at Kualoa Ranch. As a movie lover, it was truly a blissful time.

The lunch buffet included in the tour was hearty and quite delicious. The spare ribs, in particular, were very satisfying. Considering that one meal is included, the tour price felt like a great deal. Dining while overlooking Hawaii's great nature was wonderful.

In the afternoon, you can enjoy two types of cruises: one on the lake (or pond?) and one at sea. The weather turned a bit bad during the sea cruise, but seeing Kualoa Ranch from the ocean was impressive and reminiscent of the opening scene from the first Jurassic Park. Although the cruise wasn't very long, it was enough to fully enjoy Hawaii's natural beauty.

Kualoa Ranch offers various plans, but I highly recommend this one!

ジュラシックパークのシリーズを何度となく息子と見てきたので、クアロアランチに来るのを本当に楽しみにしていました。ハワイに到着し、いよいよ憧れの地へ。映画の風景を目の当たりにした瞬間は鳥肌が立つくらい感動しました！ジュラシックシリーズだけでなく、ここがロケ地だと知らずに見ていた映画「50回目のファーストキス」、行きのANAの飛行機の中で見た映画「コング」など、見たことがあるたくさんの映画のロケがクアロアランチで行われていて、「おー！」と驚いてばかり。映画好きとしては、本当に至福の時間でした。

ツアーに含まれているランチビュッフェはボリューム満点で、味もなかなか美味しかったです。特にスペアリブが食べ応えがあります。1回の食事が含まれていると思うと、ツアー代金がお得に感じます。ハワイの大自然を眺めながらの食事は素敵でした。

午後のクルーズは湖（池？）と海の2種類のクルーズが楽しめます。海のクルーズの途中で少し天気が悪くなってきたのですが、海から見るクアロアランチは迫力があり、最初のジュラシックパークの冒頭シーンを彷彿させます。時間としてはそれほど長くありませんが、ハワイの自然を満喫するのには十分でした。

クアロアランチには色々なプランがありますが、このプランはお勧めです！

Amazing sandbar experience! We did this before but this time, we had the best sandbar tour, service and music…. Very relaxing and roomy boat.. so glad they had a changing room and separate bathrooms. Best part was the Hawaiian LIVE music, and kayaking, paddle boarding and snorkeling.

I started looking for SUP lessons because my mother said she wanted to try it. We decided on a one-hour lesson in Waikiki, which had no age restrictions and offered several time slots.

A Japanese-speaking instructor provided thorough explanations, and we had one instructor for the two of us as we entered the water. They gave us instructions at our own pace, and even though it was my first time, I was able to stand and paddle.

They also pointed out that turtles were swimming nearby, and we got to see them up close!

Even as beginners, it was a safe and enjoyable experience, and my mother said she wanted to participate again.

母がSUPやってみたいと言ったことがきっかけで探しました。そして、レッスン1時間、ワイキキ、年齢制限なし、時間帯がいくつか選べることが魅力で決めました。
日本語ができる方が丁寧に説明してくれて、私たち2名に対して1名の講師がついて海に入りました。
日本語交えて自分たちのペースに合わせて指示をくださり、私も初めてでしたが立って進むことが出来ました。
近くを亀が泳いでいることも教えてくださり、間近で見ることができました！

初めてでも安心安全で、母がまた参加したいと言うほどとても楽しい時間でした。
