Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]

GREAT TIME and EXPERIENCE

Reviewed by: SusanH

LOVED kayaking in the ocean instead of chartering a boat/catamaran out to the sandbar. Spent most of our time on the largest, and should of rowed over to where a guide had nicely dropped a pin for us, but due to time stopped at a closer one, and still got to see A LOT of different fish, SO COOL! and sea life while snorkeling, but no turtles. Great snorkel gear, no fins, but didn't need them. A waterproof cell case is advisable, a hardcase one altho more expensive would of been better, as the water's current pushed against the soft plastic and turned off the video while shooting. Another tip, I'm glad I got water sandals that strapped on, to walk on the sandbar. The water was warm and so clear, and the view of the Koolau Mountains are majestic.

If you have any questions, give em' a call, Andy was so helpful and gracious.

Kamaaina Kayak and Snorkel Eco-Venture IS THE ONE TO BOOK not only is He'eia State Park right at the bay's edge, where the crew helps you launch right into the water. Renting is a bargain and not-for-profit, proceeds help to fund the park, which is managed by Kama'aina Kids, a local childcare org that serves as stewards to the park.

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

Absolutely recommended for first timers to Kaneohe

Reviewed by: Isaac

Great trip and highly recommended. The crew and live music were great and the activities included (paddle board, kayak, snorkel, volleyball) kept me and my wife busy during our time at the sandbar. We also saw live coral and a ton of fish as well as an octopus hiding near the anchor. Definitely a tour anyone should consider if they haven't visited the sandbar before. Having the boat also allowed us to avoid the sun and stay hydrated after the activities, sometime we wouldn't have been able to do if we had kayaked over from the harbor on our own.

ハワイでパラセーリング　高さ120m／150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞！＜ヒルトン・ワイキキ＞

The sea, the sky, the best. 海、空、最高

Reviewed by: 家族でハワイ

Due to the impact of COVID-19, there are fewer optional tours that offer transportation, so I chose this one because I could walk to the meeting point, and I'm glad I did. The boat ride out to sea was pleasant, making for a comfortable time even while other participants were flying. After the tour, they will transfer the photos to your smartphone for a fee, and they also provide an SD card.

コロナの影響か、オプショナルツアの送迎があるものが少ないなか、徒歩で集合場所に行けるという理由で選択しましたが、選んでよかったと思います。沖に出るボートも気持ちよく乗れるので、他の参加者が飛んでる間も心地よい時間でした。
参加後、写真も有料ですがスマホに入れてくれます。併せてSDカードも渡してくれます。

ワイキキビーチ　サーフィン1時間プライベートレッスン ＜1～4名まで／ロイヤルハワイアンホテル＞

First surfing 初サーフィン

Reviewed by: pnc

I've always wanted to try surfing. On the first day of our arrival in Hawaii, I took advantage of the time before check-in to have my first challenge with my son. We received a brief explanation on the beach, and although we were filled with anxiety, both my son and I quickly learned to ride the waves. Since there was one instructor for the two of us, we repeatedly rode the waves and returned to the shore, and the one-hour course was more than enough for us. In fact, anything longer would have been physically challenging. I was worried about bumping into others at the crowded Waikiki Beach, but the area further out was relatively less crowded, so it wasn't a problem. It became a memorable experience of surfing in Hawaii!

以前からやってみたかったサーフィン。ハワイ到着初日、チェックインまでの時間を利用して、息子と初チャレンジしました。砂浜で簡単な説明だけを受け、不安だらけでしたが、自分も息子もすぐに波に乗れるようになりました。インストラクター1人に対して、自分と息子の2人でしたので、波に乗っては冲まで戻るを繰り返し、1時間のコースで十分満足でした。むしろ、それ以上は体力的に無理でした。人が多いワイキキビーチで、他人にぶつかったりしないか心配でしたが、沖の方は比較的人が少なく、問題ありませんでした。ハワイでサーフィンをした！という思い出作りになりました。

Amazing experience

Reviewed by: Look at mi

Kaneohe ocean sports at the sandbar was amazing! We started with either glazed or chocolate donuts with lemonade. When we got to the sandbar they had a variety of activities including kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, volleyball and snorkeling. We loved the snorkeling! They took us to an area of the sandbar that was still shallow enough to stand but had plenty of coral to swim around and explore. Staff was friendly and constantly kept watch over the participants, making this a safe and enjoyable environment. Overall would definitely recommend especially for families

カイルア　スタンドアップパドル（SUP）ツアー 選べるガイド付きプランまたはセルフガイドプラン　ビーチアイテム＆昼食付き＜送迎付きプランあり＞

The guide and the weather were both amazing!! ガイドも天気も最高！！

Reviewed by: ycl

I chose a guided plan that seemed to match my SUP level, and it was a huge hit.

While waiting for the SUP, I leisurely toured Lanikai Beach by renting a bike.

Since I had experience with SUP in a gym pool, I practiced a bit in the river and then headed straight to the ocean! The waves and wind weren't too strong, so I paddled smoothly and reached a deserted island. There, they provided a detailed explanation and the surfing experience was fantastic.

It was a precious ocean adventure that wouldn't be possible with a large group. Additionally, the weather was great, and I realized that the impression of ocean activities really changes with the weather.

If there were a small group plan just for couples, including other locations, I would love to book it again.

SUPのレベルに合わせて対応してくれそうなガイド付きプランを選択
これが大当たりでした

SUPまでの待ち時間にレンタサイクルでラニカイビーチまでゆったり観光

SUPはジムのプールで経験しているので、川でちょっと練習してすぐ海へGo!
波や風がそれほどなかったこともあり、順調に漕いで無人島まで到着
そちらでゆっくり詳しく説明してくれて、さらに波乗り体験が素晴らしい

大人数では味わえない貴重な海遊びとなりました
それに加えて天気も良く、やはり海遊びの印象は天気でがらりと変わるなと思いました

他の場所も含めて、カップルのみの少人数プランがあったら、またお願いしたいと思います

Reviewed by: ゆーみん

There was a reception area right next to the parking lot at Hilton Hawaiian Village. It seemed like same-day reservations were also accepted.

When the time came, we went to the meeting point and after about 15 minutes on the boat, we arrived at the parasailing spot. My husband, who usually doesn’t get seasick, was feeling queasy because the boat was rocking quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is a must.

The parasailing itself was great, with beautiful views and it felt wonderful. Before landing, they intentionally drop you into the sea, so you will definitely get wet (laughs). A large bath towel is also essential! I bought photos for $40, but since they were mostly the same, I thought it might not be worth it.

ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジの駐車場すぐに受付がありました。当日予約も受け付けているみたいでした。
時間になって、集合場所に行き15分ほど船に揺られてパラセーリングスポットに着きました。
普段酔わない旦那さんが、船酔いに遭うぐらいとても揺れるので酔い止め必須です。
パラセーリング自体は景色もよく、とても気持ちよかったです。
着陸前にわざと海に落とされるので絶対に濡れます（笑）大きいバスタオルも必須です！
40ドルで写真も購入しましたが、同じ写真ばかりだったので買わなくてもいいかなぁと思いました。

This was my first time participating in parasailing near Waikiki! Usually, I choose a parasailing package that’s a bit farther away, but this time I made a reservation for the early morning session due to the schedule of other activities. I walked from the hotel to the parasailing check-in location while enjoying a morning stroll. The muffins and coconut pound cake from the nearby coffee shop that the staff recommended were absolutely delicious! The 150 meters was indeed high and thrilling, and it was such an amazing moment that I definitely want to do it again! It has now been added to my must-do list for my next trip to Hawaii!

いつもはちょっと遠くまでパラとのセットを選ぶのですが、今回は他のアクティビティの時間の都合で朝一の回に予約しました。

We used this for making memories on our honeymoon. It was Saturday afternoon, but I was able to make a reservation just three days in advance without any issues. The location is directly connected to Waikiki Beach, which is great because you can wear your swimsuit and go straight back to the hotel.

Since there were only three groups sharing the ride, the waiting time felt short. As others mentioned, if you're worried about motion sickness, I think it's a good idea to take some medicine beforehand, but I was able to enjoy it without feeling sick. The flight time felt longer than I expected.

The photo fee was $40, so please be careful if you're considering purchasing.

I didn't understand English, but thanks to the enthusiastic staff, I was able to create the best memories!

新婚旅行の思い出作りで利用しました。
土曜のお昼でしたが、3日前でも無事予約が取れました。
立地がワイキキビーチに直結したところにあり、ホテルから直接水着を着てそのまま帰れる立地の良さも良いです。
乗り合わせが3組と少なかったからか、待ち時間も短く感じました。他の方が言っていたように乗り物酔いが心配な場合は酔い止めを飲んでおくと良いと思いましたが、私は酔うことなく終われました。
飛行時間も思っていたより長くあったように感じます。
写真代は値上げしたのか$40でしたので、購入を考えている際はお気をつけください。


英語はわからなかったのですが、盛り上げ上手のスタッフさんのおかげで最高の思い出ができました！

ハンズ・ヒーデマン　サーフィンレッスン

This is my second time! I want to do it again! 今回2回目！またやりたい！

Reviewed by: Rii

Four years ago, I participated in this lesson for the first time. It was so impressive that during this family trip, I joined a group lesson (4 English speakers, 2 Japanese) with my younger brother.

After a general explanation, a local instructor who speaks Japanese took care of the two of us on the beach. It was like a completely private lesson! Both my brother (his first time surfing) and I (my second time) were able to ride the waves right away. In fact, I managed to ride all the waves except for one! My brother didn't fall even once! The instructor praised us a lot and also pointed out areas for improvement.

Another surfing instructor told me, "The person teaching you is really amazing."

The photos cost $50 for one participant and $75 for two. Since there's a breakwater nearby, I should have had my family come to take pictures. I didn't have the luxury of taking selfies... haha.

I was exhausted after the lesson, so I'm glad I signed up for it on the last day. I was able to sleep soundly on the plane. If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate in a lesson here again!

4年前、初めてこのレッスンに参加しました。
それが凄く印象的だったので、今回の家族旅行では、弟と一緒にグループレッスン(英語圏4人、日本人2人)に参加させて頂きました。

全体説明後、ビーチでは日本語も話せる現地の先生1人が我々2人を担当してくれました。完全にプライベートレッスン状態！！
私(サーフィン2回目)も弟(サーフィン1回目)も一発で波に乗れました。
というか、私は1回以外全部波に乗れました！弟は1回も落ちなかったです！
先生はいっぱい褒めてくれるし、改善点も教えてくれました。

他のサーフィンレッスンの先生から、"あなたに教えてくれてる人はとても凄い人なのよ"と声をかけられました。

写真は1人参加だと$50、2人だと$75、、でした。
近くに堤防もあるので、家族に写真を撮りに来て貰えば良かったです。
自撮りしてる余裕はないので…笑

レッスン後はクタクタだったので、最終日に申し込んで良かったです。機内で爆睡出来ました。

It turned out to be an awesome adventure for us. My kids still did their banana boat ride and bumpers as well as paddle boarding and snorkeling.
