Really Awesome Views from Above. Me and my partner had a blast!!

The whole crew was just amazing. Lots of fun.
Thanks

I think it's completely not worth the 20,000 yen per person, even considering that it's a natural phenomenon and the sand may not appear. It says that meals are included, but even in the morning, there wasn't even coffee, just a sweet donut and some bad juice mixed with water. My daughter and I participated in snorkeling, but the sea wasn't that beautiful, and there were no fish. When I asked the Japanese woman in charge, she bluntly said that there were fish a little further away by the coral, but we were told not to go beyond the coral, so we ended up not seeing many fish and our satisfaction level was zero.

It seemed like you could also do stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, but once everyone used them, they didn't pass them on to the next person, so I only got to ride for a little bit about 10 minutes before the meeting time. I think they should either set a usage time or increase the number of equipment available. Other newlyweds looked bored floating on the rest boards in the sea, and it was really sad to see.

I will never participate again, and I think anyone considering joining should just pay for a different beach instead of this. I really want my 40,000 yen back!! (laughs)

自然現象だからサンドが現れないのは仕方ないとして、1人約2万円払って行く価値は全くないと思います。
食事付きと記載されていますが、朝なのにコーヒーすらなく甘ったるいドーナツ1つと水で溶かした不味いジュースかお水でした。
娘と2人でシュノーケルの参加でしたが、海もそこまで綺麗ではなく魚もいないし、主催の日本人女性に聞いたら少し離れたサンゴの所に魚がいると無愛想に言われました。
ですが、サンゴより向こうは行かないで下さいって言われたので結局魚はあまり見れず満足度はゼロでした。
その他サップやカヤックが出来るようでしたが、みなさん一度使うと中々次の人にまわさないので、結局集合時間の10分前にちょこっと乗れたくらいです。
使用時間を決めるか、もっと増やすか改善するべきだと思います。
他の新婚さんも海に浮いている休憩するボードにつまらなさそうにしていて、とても可哀想でした。
もう2度と参加しませんし、参加を考えてるみなさんもお金払わなくても普通に別の海に入った方が満足出来ると思います。
ほんと4万円返して欲しい！！笑

We had the best time during our time at the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Ocean Sports Adventure. The live music (an experience in itself) really sets the tone for the day. The staff were friendly and helpful. One of the crew members told me to step on him to get into the kayak. Because he was shorter, he was underwater, while I used him as stairs. And we actually had to do this twice, because I flipped out on the first try. We purchased the package that included the bumper tube ride, and I must admit I misjudged our driver, who I think was the boat captain. For some reason, I was under the impression that she was going to take us us a mild tour around the bay. This was a prime example of don’t judge a book by its cover. Let me say this clearly: la capitana was all throttle. Honestly, the tubing was the best part of my day. I would recommend this to all. Great time.

First of all, TOMO, who came to pick us up in the morning, was very cheerful, friendly, kind, and funny, making the travel time from the hotel to the shop incredibly enjoyable. We were blessed with great weather, and the staff told us it was the best day for SUP this year! When we set out on the SUP, we could feel the beauty of the ocean, the blueness of the sky, and the gentle breeze up close, making it a wonderful SUP experience. During the SUP, we were very lucky to encounter a honu, which became the best memory. In the afternoon, we rented bicycles and cycled around Lanikai Beach and the town of Kailua. All the staff were very kind to us, and we had the best day. If I visit Hawaii again, I definitely want to try kayaking at this shop next time. Thank you very much!

まずは朝のピックアップに来ていただいたTOMOさんがとっても明るくて、親しみやすくて、親切で、面白くて、ホテルからショップまでの移動時間も最高に楽しかったです。
お天気にも恵まれスタッフさんからは今年1番のSUP日和よ！と教えてもらい、いざSUPで海にくり出すと、海の美しさと空の青さと微風を間近で感じることが出来、素晴らしいSUP体験でした。
SUPの途中ではとてもラッキーなことにホヌにも出会え最高の思い出になりました。
午後からは自転車を借りてラニカイビーチやカイルアの街中をサイクリングしました。
スタッフさんみなさんに親切にしていただいて、最高の1日を過ごすことができました。
またハワイを訪れたらぜひここのショップで次はカヤック体験をしたいと思います。
本当にありがとうございました。

I enjoyed being able to share the same time with members full of exotic charm while enjoying various activities!

色々なアクティビティを楽しめるし、異国情緒溢れるメンバーで同じ時間を教諭できることか楽しかったです！

This is an activity that I definitely recommend everyone to experience when visiting Hawaii. It was an amazing experience to see the Hawaiian scenery from above the ocean!

There was no pressure to tip, as it was more of a suggestion at the time of disembarkation, but since it was such a wonderful experience, I decided to give a tip!

Thanks to the advice from everyone, I took motion sickness medication and didn't feel nauseous at all! I put my tip, credit card, and smartphone in a waterproof phone case and hung it around my neck while holding my GoPro in my hand as I jumped! I only brought a beach towel for other items. The luggage goes in the boat's storage, and since there are staff members around, I felt that my belongings wouldn't be stolen while we were flying.

ハワイに来たらぜひみなさんに体験いただきたいアクティビティです。ハワイの景色を海の上から見れて、とっても最高な体験になりました！
チップは下車時によかったらチップお願いします的な感じで強制感はありませんでしたが、とても素敵な体験ができたので、お渡ししました！
みなさんのアドバイスを見て酔い止めを飲んだおかげか、特に酔いませんでした！
防水スマホケースにチップとクレカとスマホ入れて首から下げて、ゴープロを手に持って飛びました〜！そのほか持ちのものは、バスタオルくらいにしました。荷物はボートの荷物入れ？に入れますし、スタッフの方もいるので、飛んでる間に荷物が盗まれる事はないかなと思いました。

Since the people in the pair I rode with were all Japanese, I felt very comfortable and enjoyed participating. The weather was nice, so the scenery was amazing.

同乗したペアの人たちも日本人しかいなかったので、とても安心して楽しく参加できました。
天気が良かったので景色が最高でした。

We went out to sea by boat and experienced parasailing. The boat we joined had 10 people, all Japanese couples. The captain and two crew members were very lively and kept the energy high.

The round trip to the offshore location was quite bumpy, so if you're prone to seasickness, please take medication beforehand.

Basically, the communication is in English, but they guide you step by step, so it's not difficult. The time spent in the air is about 5 minutes, but it was surprisingly high and felt great.

They will ask if you want to take photos on the boat, but you can confirm the photos after disembarking before payment. If you have an iPhone, you can transfer the data on the spot and receive an SD card.

Due to the weak yen and high prices, Hawaii has become quite an expensive place, but considering the cost-effectiveness, it's a satisfying activity.

船で沖合に行き、パラセーリングを体験します。我々が参加する船は、5組10人、すべて日本人のカップルでした。ノリがいい船長と船員の2名がテンション高めに盛り上げてくれます。

沖合までの往復はかなり揺られので船酔いしやすい方は事前にお薬を飲んでください。

基本的には英語でのやり取りとなりますが、手取り足取り教えてくれるので難しいことはありません。空中にいる時間は5分程度ですが、想像以上に高く、気持ちが良かったです。

船の上で写真撮影の有無を聞かれるのですが、会計は下船後に写真を確認してからで大丈夫です。iPhoneであれば、その場でデータを転送のうえ、SDカードがもらえます。

円安と物価高で非常にハワイはお金がかかる場所になってしまいましたが、費用対効果を考えても満足できるアクティビティです。

The high-speed boat heading out to sea was truly refreshing! From a higher vantage point than I imagined, I could see the beautiful ocean and the city of Waikiki all the way to Diamond Head, and the view was absolutely stunning. The staff were also fun and friendly, speaking a bit of broken Japanese like "Bocchan, daijoubu?" I was completely dropped into the sea, but it was not scary at all and was actually a lot of fun. It was my first time parasailing, and I made the most wonderful memories! Thank you very much.

沖に向かう高速ボートから実に爽快！
想像より高い位置から美しい海とワイキキの街からダイヤモンドヘッドまでが一望出来、その眺めはまさに絶景でした。
スタッフの方々も楽しく親切で「ボチャン、大丈夫？」などと片言楽の日本語も。
ボチャン〜と思いっきり海に落とされましたが、それも怖いことはな全く楽しかったです。初パラセーリングでしたが最高に素敵な思い出が出来ました！
ありがとうございました。

No matter how high the waves were, we set sail without any issues, and just being on the boat was a lot of fun. I wasn't sure how high 150 meters would be, but it was much higher than I imagined, and I could see all of Waikiki. The staff spoke English, but I could understand them through gestures, and the participants were from various countries. I'm glad I decided to join. I think there's a special meaning in doing this in Hawaii.

多少波が高くても問題なく出航し、ボートに乗っているだけでも、とても楽しかったです。
150mがどれくらいか見当がつかず参加したのですが、想像以上に高く、ワイキキが一望出来ました。
スタッフさんは英語ですが、ジェスチャーでなんとなく分かりますし、参加した方も色々な国の方ばかりでした。
思い切って参加して良かったです。
ハワイでやる事に意味があると思います。

The view of Waikiki's ocean and Diamond Head was absolutely stunning! There were some incidents, like a strong wind causing a brief interruption and me getting seasick, but the captains were experts, so I felt at ease. Thanks to the cheerful captains, it was enjoyable until the very end. The photo session I requested for $40 resulted in over 100 pictures, which I had a great time looking back on. Thank you so much!!

ワイキキの海とダイヤモンドヘッドを一望できて最高の景色でした！
風が強くなった時に一度中断したり、自分が船酔いしてしまったりとアクシデントもありましたが、キャプテン達がエキスパートなので、安心して過ごすことができました。また、陽気なキャプテン達のおかげで最後まで楽しかったです。
40ドルでお願いした写真撮影も、100枚以上撮ってくださってて、楽しく見返しました。
本当にありがとうございました！！

I originally had a fear of heights, but I was able to enjoy this without much feeling of floating! If you're going to do it, I recommend the 150m option! The view is stunning! When coming down, they lower you slowly, but you do get dropped into the sea once, which is also quite fun. They do take photos, but it costs $40. Since that's expensive, we tried to take as many pictures ourselves as possible (though we couldn't capture the view from below). You will get wet, so it's best to wear clothes that can get wet (like a swimsuit). The boat sways quite a bit, so if you get motion sickness, definitely bring some motion sickness medication! (You can get water at the counter.)

元々高所恐怖症でしたが、こちらはあまり浮遊感なく楽しめました！
どうせやるなら１５０ｍをおすすめします！すごい景色の眺めがキレイです！
また降りるときはゆっくり下げてくれますが、一度海に落とされますｗそれもまた面白いです。
写真は撮ってくれますが40ドルでした。高いので私たちはできる限り自分たちで撮るようにしました。（下からの眺めは撮れませんが）
濡れるので濡れてもいい服（水着等）で行くのがおすすめです。
船はかなり揺れるので酔う方は酔い止め必須です！（お水はカウンターで貰えました）

The scooters were everything we hoped they would be, we saw tons of fish and the support team was absolutely incredible in ensuring we had FUN. One of the guys found an octopus to bring over for photos and to interact with. We were in the 2nd scooter group, so I got to hop in for snorkeling both before and after my scooter ride. I saw a turtle while snorkeling and it was neat to watch some of the scooters cruising around. Highly recommend adding this experience to your must do list while on Oahu. You won't be disappointed.

The scenery was very beautiful, and I could feel the sea breeze, which made it a lot of fun. From below, it looked quite high and a bit scary at first, but it wasn't scary at all. There were several other participants as well, but while waiting, the boat swayed quite a bit, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication before the experience.

景色がとても綺麗で、海風も感じることが出来とてま楽しかったです。高さは下から見ると結構高くて怖そうだなと最初は思いましたが、全然怖くなかったです。他にも参加者が何組かいましたが、待っている間に結構船が揺れるので船酔いしやすいかたには酔い止めを体験前に服用されることをオススメします。

We had a great time ! We were able to try everything at our trip from snorkeling, paddle boarding and just relaxing in their floating pad ! The crew was very helpful, we added transportation and it was such a convenience to be pick up from the hotel and had a ride back also.

With a small group of up to five people, they provided attentive service. I swam (or should I say floated?!) quite a distance from one end of Hanauma Bay to the other, and I was able to enjoy it without feeling too tired. Although I didn't encounter any sea turtles this time, I've heard they can occasionally be seen. Currently, reservations are required for Hanauma Bay, making it difficult to visit on your own, so this was truly a lifesaver!

5人迄の少人数催行なのできめ細かく対応してもらえます。ハナウマベイの端から端迄、かなりの距離を泳いだ（流れたとも言う?!）のにさほど疲労もなく楽しく過ごせました。今回はウミガメに遭遇できませんでしたが偶に見かけるそうです。今ハナウマベイは予約が必須で個人で行くのが難しくなっていますので、本当に助かりました！

Lots to do but equipment has seen better days. Bathrooms were portable

During the cruise, I encountered a pod of dolphins!! They were jumping around just like you would see in an aquarium, and it was amazing! Also, there were plenty of sea turtles swimming around, which was great!!

I was expecting to see tropical fish like Nemo since it was a glass-bottom boat, but I only saw some dark, plain fish, which was a bit disappointing. However, I'm glad I participated!

クルーズ途中、イルカの群れに出会えました！！
まるで水族館で見るようにイルカ達が飛び跳ねていてすごかったです！
また、当たり前にウミガメもたくさん泳いでいました！！

グラスボートということでニモをはじめとした熱帯魚が見れると期待していましたが、黒っぽい地味な魚がみられるだけでそこはちょっと残念でした。
でも参加してよかったです！

I participated with my brothers and their daughters, a total of five of us. We received a lecture on how to board and paddle, and together we cooperated to push the canoe into the sea and board it. We worked hard to paddle out to the open water, and when the crew confirmed good waves, we turned direction, increased our pace to ride the waves, and successfully caught some amazing waves. That feeling was the best!

兄弟とその娘の５人で参加しました。乗り込み方、漕ぎ方のレクチャーを受け、皆で協力してまずはカヌーを海に押し入れて乗船。頑張って沖に漕ぎ出し、クルーがいい波を確認したら方向転換、波に乗るためピッチを上げて漕ぎ、見事波に乗ることが出来ました。その感覚は最高でした!

This was the most fun water activity my friends and I did. We did the 9AM excursion so the sun was not fully out and was kind of chilly out there. But you end up warming up in the water. The snorkeling was amazing this was the most fishes that we saw during our whole time in Hawai'i (we've done snorkeling about 3x this trip). We also did the Bumper tube ride. I would only recommend this if you want some adrenaline! Since we did the 9AM, they provided donuts and OJ. I would recommend that you bring your own lunch, snacks, and drinks. There is also a convenient store by the dock if you want to pick up food. If you're wondering, they DO have restrooms on the boat and a changing room as well. Bring a set of comfortable clothes to change into (: This is the 1 activity i would do again!

The meeting place is conveniently close to the hotel, making it easy to get there without a shuttle. The staff was kind and attentive, allowing me to enjoy parasailing with peace of mind.

集合場所もホテルから近く送迎なしで気軽に行けて便利
スタッフも親切丁寧で安心してパラセーリングを楽しめました。

This is a must! everything was amazing, so much fun. great activity and the Live Music on our boat was wonderful. enjoyed every minute of it. Staff was wonderful.

This far exceeded my expectations. The staff was great and it was a really fun experience. There were tons of fish around for the snorkeling and the kayaks and stand up paddle boards were fun to use. To top it off, the live music on board the boat was too notch. This is a must do activity for your trip to Oahu.

My cousin and I booked this snorkeling tour as it was her first time and she didn't feel comfortable being out in super deep in the water or in a very open area. The lagoon where this snorkel tour is hosted is great as it has rock barrier walls all around to protect it from large waves. Our tour guide, Micki was so knowledgeable and was able to tell us so much about the fish and coral that we could see. This is a great tour for beginners or families with younger children who want to try out snorkeling! Would highly recommend it!

It was my first experience, and it was very refreshing and became a great memory. The instructors were fun to talk to, and they took a lot of photos for us.

初めて体験しましたが、とても爽快で良い思い出になりました。インストラクターのお兄さん達のお話も楽しく写真もたくさん撮ってくださいました。

The day we participated, the depth was just enough for adults to stand. Depending on the tide, it can be completely different from the photos, so it's better to check before signing up. It was also a windy day in late September, and the water temperature was low, so the kids got cold and quickly wanted to get out, which was unfortunate. (There were even babies who enjoyed it for over an hour.)

All the staff were very friendly, and it was reassuring that the Japanese-speaking staff provided thorough explanations. It was almost full, and there wasn't a place to sit, but they kindly asked us to move, which was a great help.

If you're going to snorkel, it seems better to have marine shoes. I bumped my foot against the coral reef (which you shouldn't touch) and got injured.

私たちが参加した日は、大人がやっと足がつく深さでした。潮位によっては、写真と全く異なるので、調べてから申し込んだ方が良いです。また9月下旬の風の強い日で、水温も低く子供達は寒がりすぐに出てしまい残念でした。（1時間以上楽しんでいた赤ちゃんもいました）
スタッフの皆さんは、全員感じが良く、日本語スタッフの方が丁寧に説明してくださるので安心です。ほぼ満席で座る場所がなかったのですが、移動をお願いしてくださり大変助かりました。
シュノーケルをするなら、マリンシューズがあった方が良さそうです。珊瑚礁に足をぶつけてしまい（触ってはいけません）怪我をしてしまいました。

会合場所で間違いをしてしまいましたが、電話での丁寧な対応のおかげで無事に会うことができました。ランチのロコモコも美味しかったです。もしまたハワイに来る機会があれば、また利用したいと思います。夏恵さん、恵美さん、ありがとうございました。

I made a mistake at the meeting place, but thanks to a polite response over the phone, I was able to meet up safely.
The loco moco for lunch was also delicious.
If I have a chance to come to Hawaii again, I will use it again.
Natsue san 、Emi san thank you.

Before returning on the round trip, we encountered a pod of wild dolphins. The sailing boat was spacious, and the staff were friendly, which made for a great experience. As we headed out to the open sea from around Diamond Head, the waves became higher, so those who are prone to seasickness might feel unwell. The view from the sailing boat is absolutely stunning.

往復の帰り着く前に野生イルカの群れに遭遇しました。
セーリングボートも広く、スタッフの方も親切でとても良いです。
ダイヤモンドヘッド辺りから外洋に出て波が高くなりますので船酔い
しやすい方は酔うかもしれません。
セーリングボートから見える景色は最高です。

I saw something I thought I was too old to try. This being a birthday weekend of celebrating I thought I'd step out on faith and try something new. When the opportunity came, I said, signs me up, I'm all in. Though a little nervous the crew Russell and Sharky, made you feel relaxed and offered instructions that had you moving along as if you were a pro. There was, laughter, gentle corrections and so much fun. Before you knew it you were getting strapped in and sailing in the air at 1000 ft. Who would have known it would be so much fun. I'd do this again if and or when the opportunity comes around again.
