We made a reservation with my husband for our honeymoon trip.
Although the explanation was in English, I was able to participate without any issues by using gestures and observing other guests.
There were 10 of us in total, including my husband and me, and everyone was very friendly, making it a lot of fun!
While other guests were parasailing, the boat rocked quite a bit, so if you're feeling uneasy, I recommend taking motion sickness medication!
The photos were $40.00, but I declined because the reviews from others weren't very good.
The scenery was absolutely amazing, and I was moved by the sense of openness and the views that I had never experienced before!

The activities were plentiful, and we had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves!
On the boat, there were few people wearing masks. The boat was quite full of people.
The toilets were not the flushing type; instead, you had to put toilet paper in a trash can. Since we were on the sea, it might be unavoidable, but as a Japanese person, I was concerned about hygiene.
I thought it would be better if there were trash cans with lids.
Overall, the music was pleasant, the crew members were kind, and my elderly father also enjoyed it, so I think it was a good experience.
アクティビティが充実しており、時間もたっぷりありましたので楽しむ事ができました!
船の上ではマスクをしてる人は少数。割と船いっぱいに人がいました。
トイレは流すタイプではなく、トイレットペーパーをゴミ箱に入れるタイプ。海の上なので仕方ないのかもしれませんが、日本人としては、衛生面が気になりました。
蓋のあるゴミ箱とかならまだいいかなと思いました。
全体的には音楽も心地よく、乗務員の方も親切で高齢の父親も楽しんでいましたし、行って良かったと思います。

We weren’t anticipating the sunken city and surrounding sandbars for snorkeling, so in four hours we went out that direction first then went back to the main sandbar almost to the bird sanctuary. Didn’t see many people out there which was surprising. Didn’t look how we expected it. Felt like the only kayak out there. Took forever just to get around fighting the current and have lots of shoulder pain the following day. Glad we survived to tell the tale. We did see many many turtles.
Aloha Katie,
Thank you for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure, and for taking the time to leave this review. Glad to hear you saw quite a few sea turtles. Hopefully that was rewarding and a good experience. Otherwise, sorry to hear the experience didn't meet your expectations. It sounds like you paddled quite a far distance overall, and kayaking in the ocean should certainly be expected to be a pretty strenuous workout. Hope your shoulder is okay. Mahalo.

That's disappointing! It seemed like there were fewer people catching fish than others. It didn't feel like there was much effort to help us catch fish in the two and a half hours.

Honestly, I was a bit nervous about learning how to surf. My partner really wanted to try and we set up time with the Ohana Surf Project; let me tell you, it was worth it. The team at Ohana Surf Project are knowledgeable, fun and super helpful. They teach you all the fundamentals, make you feel comfortable in the water and are with you every step of the way. Kevin and Romeo were incredibly patient and friendly, especially for someone uncoordinated like me. If you’re telling yourself that you couldn’t do this, you can, and they can show you. They took someone like me, who can barely tie my shoes without falling over, and put me up on a board surfing a wave. If you’re reading this review trying to find the best team to help you, look no further, just book it!
Mahalo Ohana Surf Project!
Jacob, thank you so much for your lovely review! We are so glad that you enjoyed your time with us and appreciate our teaching methods. You both did so well!! We'll extend your love to Kevin and Romeo, and we hope to surf with you and Travis again soon!!

We were able to experience it as a group of three and fly together. The reception and during the ride were mostly in English. However, when they realized we were Japanese, they mixed in a little Japanese during the explanations.
I read reviews and took motion sickness medication before boarding, but I think it's unnecessary unless you are extremely sensitive.
Sunscreen is a must for early morning reservations. If you're particularly concerned, a hat with a string to prevent it from flying off is convenient.
At the end of the flight, being splashed with water up to my waist felt amazing. If you want to take videos, having a waterproof case for your phone is reassuring, even if you don't have a GoPro.
I requested optional photos for $40. They transferred them to my phone on the spot, and I also received an SD card. The photos were very vivid, and I'm glad I ordered them.
3人で体験、3人で飛ぶことができました。
当日の受付・乗車中などほぼ英語です。
ただ日本人と分かると説明の時は少し日本語を混ぜて話してくれます。
口コミを読んで酔い止めを飲んで乗船しましたが、

朝早い時間の予約から日焼け止めは必須。
特に気になる方は飛ばないように紐のついた帽子があると便利です。
飛行の最後、腰のあたりまで水に落としてくれるのが最高に気持ちよかった。

Also the two musicians were amazing, with lovely Hawaiian songs. As for the activities, it was easy to get up and down the stairs to the water, and the sandbar and coral were right there. Lots of other activities easily available, but we were there for the snorkeling. A lovely day! Thank you!

I signed up for Kailua without knowing that it can be quite windy. According to the guide, if we had been off by even a day, we wouldn't have been able to do SUP... Indeed, there was some wind on the day, but it was pleasant. I struggled a bit with being pushed back by the waves and figuring out the paddling technique, but I enjoyed the view from the island floating in the middle of the ocean and learned a lot... It was a pity that we couldn't see any sea turtles.
Life jackets seem to be essential for kayaking, but they are optional for SUP. Sunglasses would be handy, but even the guide mentioned losing them, so it's better to have a strap. They provide waterproof bags, and the guide will take photos, so you can go hands-free.
カイルアは風が強いところと知らずに申し込みました。ガイドさんによると、もし1日でもずれていたら、SUPはできなかった、と。。。確かに、当日も風はありましたが、心地よい程度でした。波に押し返されたり漕ぎ方のコツがつかめず、ちょっと苦労しましたが、海の真ん中に浮かんだ島に行って、そこからの景色を楽しんだり、学んだり。。。ウミガメが見られなかったことが残念でした。
ライフジャケットはカヤックでは必須のようですが、SUPは任意です。サングラスはあれば便利と思いますが、ガイドさんですら無くすそうなので、紐付きが良いです。耐水の鞄を貸してくれますが、写真はガイドさんが撮ってくれますので手ぶらでOKです。
Dear Tommy,
Thank you for visiting and for your review. We are delighted that you were able to enjoy your time on a day without strong winds. When you come to Hawaii again, please do visit Kailua. We look forward to welcoming you back.

It was located away from Waikiki, so it took about 40 minutes by taxi. We participated as a group of five, and it was a beautifully sunny day with clear skies and a lovely sea. We moved out to the ocean by small boat. First, we tried jet skiing, which took some time to get used to, but the young couple and my son were speeding along and said it was the most fun. Next was the bumper tube, where we lay on a board-like float connected to the jet ski, clinging on while being tossed around for 15 minutes. We were screaming and cheering while enduring it, and my arms got tired. Finally, we did parasailing, which involved a rapid ascent from the water's surface. It felt safe even when letting go, and we enjoyed a moment of being in the air like a swing. My wife expressed some anxiety before trying it, but it turned out to be a really enjoyable experience. If there's another opportunity, I would definitely like to do it again. Even first-timers can enjoy it with peace of mind. I highly recommend it.
ワイキキから離れた場所でしたので、タクシーで40分程度かかりました。
5人で参加しましたが、よく晴れた日で、海も空も綺麗で、沖まで小舟で移動しました。まずはジェットスキーですが、なれるまでに時間がかかってしまいましたが、若い娘夫婦と、息子はガンガン飛ばして、一番楽しかったと言ってました。 次のバンパーチューブは、ジェットスキーにつながれた板状の浮きに横たわって、しがみつきながら、振り回されながら、15分過ごすのですが、キャーキャー、ウォーウォー言いながらひたすら耐える感じでした。腕が疲れました。最後はパラセーリングですが、海面から急上昇し、手放ししても安心でき、ひと時の空中ブランコ楽しめました。やってみるまで、すこし不安だと家内は申していましたが、ずいぶん楽しい経験でした。またの機会があれば、ぜひやってみたいです。初めての方も安心して楽しめますよ。お勧めします。

We took the bus from our hotel in Waikiki to Kewalo Basin. We went on a fishing experience for about three hours on the Sashimi No. 2. We were the only Japanese people on board, along with about 20 others. There were three staff members, including the captain. They handled everything, including tangled lines and lost hooks, which made it easy for us. The bait was frozen squid. About 30 minutes in, we caught a fish that was around 20 centimeters long. The smell of the frozen squid was overwhelming, but it was a very enjoyable time.

The underwater scooter adventure seemed like a great idea, particularly for my wife, who doesn't like snorkeling because of having the breathing tube in her mouth. This diving-bell style system seemed like the perfect solution. It worked, but there were some major issues. Start with the boat, which is small and when moored to the dive area bobs like a cork in the ocean swells, creating motion issues. The scooter itself has air pumped in constantly, resulting in an ever-changing level of air pressure until the air is forced out. So, your ears are constantly clogging and unclogging like you are descending and ascending in a plane the whole time. You also have no control over where the scooter goes, since it is not really self-propelled. Each scooter is accompanied by a "dive master" who physically pushes you to where the master wants you to go, and who controls when you submerge and when you surface. The marine life is swell, with fish food provided to bring in the fish right up to your helmet. The helmet is also very noisy, with the compressed air machine running, making it unlike snorkeling, which is quiet and peaceful. Bobbing up and down in the current inside the diving bell also produces a lot of motion, so don't eat anything before taking the trip. The crew was nice, but did not provide much instruction about what would happen once under the bell. There are hand signals for the dive master, but you feel very much out of control during the dive. On balance, I would not do this again -- even if I had not gotten seasick.

The lifeguards at the different events (Paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkeling) all were very friendly and fun to talk to, but yet still very professional. The snorkeling is amesome with a great reef to see some fishes! The donuts were also very good!

- Snorkeling: the sandbar was perfect for snorkeling because of the calm ocean, be careful of the jellyfishes that float in the water

Surf bus instructor, Kevin was very informative- he gave us info to places that we must see and foods/places to eat at.
Enjoyed snorkeling wish we would of seen turtles though. Kayaking time was limited we had to go back to the bus to head back to Waikiki. We did get to visit the small towns on our way to North Shore that grows fresh vegetable and fruits, I think the two stops caused us to use up time on the water activities.
