All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I've always wanted to try outrigger canoeing! The first wave was a bit small, and since I had heard there would be three challenges, I thought there would be two more to go... However, the small ones didn't count, and I was able to ride three big waves. The thrill of riding those big waves and getting close to the shore was absolutely amazing! I ended up getting splashed more than I expected. (laughs) But I highly recommend this activity.

Next time, I definitely want to ride even bigger waves than this time! ♪

ずぅーと体験したかったアウトリガーカヌー！初めの波は少し小さくて、挑戦は3回と聞いていたのであと2回なのかなーと思っていましたが、、、
小さいのはカウントされずに、3回大きな波に乗せてもらうことができました。
本当に、大きな波に乗れて岸近くまで行く快感は最高に気持ちいいです！
思ったより、全身水をかぶりました。笑
でも、おすすめのアクティビティです。

是非、次回は今回以上に大きな波に乗りたいです♪

It felt like I was floating in the air, and it was very pleasant! It was higher than I expected, but the view of Waikiki was amazing! There wasn't much of a floating sensation, so it swayed a bit, but even those who are scared will be fine. At the end, we made a splash into the sea, which was also fun.

Here’s what I experienced: After checking in, we waited for about 10 minutes before boarding the boat, and then we went straight to parasailing. I recommend taking care of restrooms, motion sickness medication, and changing clothes before checking in. There was a public restroom nearby. Also, since you will be getting a little wet, wearing a swimsuit is a good idea.

In my group, there were 3 pairs of us, and we flew shortly after traveling about 10 minutes by boat. By the way, we were instructed to put sandals and bags under the boat seats.

Before flying, they asked us to remove our hats, but it was okay to hold onto our smartphones in waterproof cases (we could take photos from above).

Right before flying, the crew asked if we wanted to buy photos (for $40), and if you request it at that time, they will take over 100 pictures for you. The payment was made at the check-in hut after getting off the boat (credit cards were accepted).

The boat swayed quite a bit, so it's recommended to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

空中をふわふわ散歩してるかのような気分で、とても気持ちよかったです！
思ったより高かったですが、ワイキキも見渡せて、最高です！
そんなに浮遊感もないので、多少は揺れますが、怖がりでも大丈夫でした。
最後に海にジャパーンするのですが、それも面白かったです。


以下、私が体験した内容です。
チェックインしたら、10分くらいその場で待った後にすぐ船に乗り、そのままパラセーリングでした。
トイレや酔い止め、着替えは済ましてからのチェックインがおすすめです。なお、公衆トイレみたいなのが近くにありました。また、海にちょっぴり浸かるので、水着が良いと思います。

私の回は2人×3組だったのですが、船で10分くらい行った先で、すぐに飛ぶことになります。
ちなみに、サンダルやカバンは船の座席の下に入れるよう指示がありました。

飛ぶ際に、帽子は取るように言われましたが、防水ケースに入れたスマホは持っててOKでした（上から写真もとれました）。

飛ぶ直前に、写真（40ドル）を買うかどうかクルーの方に聞かれて、その際にお願いすると、100枚以上写真を取ってくれます。
なお、お会計は船を降りたあと、チェックインした小屋にて支払いました（カードもOKでした）。

船はかなり揺れるので、酔い止めを飲んでおくほうがオススメです。

I was able to rent a long-sleeved wetsuit and long pants, so I didn't have to worry about sunburn or the cold. I was able to swim quite a distance. It would have been tough to go on my own, so I'm glad I joined a tour.

長袖長ズボンのウエットスーツをレンタルできたので、日焼けも寒さも気にならなかったです。 結構な距離を泳ぐことができました。 個人で行くのは大変なのでツアーに参加してよかったです

The sea was beautiful, the staff was cheerful and kind, there was live music, and the activities were a lot of fun!

This time, I participated in two consecutive tours to different sandbars, so I will compare based on my experiences.
- Boat size (this tour had a larger boat. The restroom was also fairly decent. Since there were many passengers, the atmosphere may vary depending on the participants. When we joined, there were relatively many families and three generations participating, which created a friendly vibe.)
- Activities (if you want to try banana boating or bumper tubing, this is the tour for you. Both snorkeling and SUP were enjoyable on either tour.)
- Live music (when we participated in this tour, the songs were mainly famous ones from Japan and Disney.)
- Provided snacks (the donuts here were American-sized and sweet.)
- Boat docking location (it was a bit far from the shallowest part of the sandbar. Due to tidal conditions, there were places where children around 120 cm tall could not touch the bottom at all... although life jackets were provided, it might be a bit challenging for children who are not good at swimming.)
- Japanese guide (it may vary by day, but on the days we participated, the guides provided detailed explanations in Japanese, which was reassuring.)
- Changing clothes, etc. (I think it's better to prepare something to wear over your swimsuit and plan to get on the bus as is. There are restrooms at the port, but they are limited, and the women's restroom has a long line. It is recommended to keep wearing aqua shoes. If you want to take videos or photos, don't forget a waterproof phone case!)

海は美しく、スタッフも陽気で親切、ライブ演奏もあり、アクティビティも大変楽しかったです！

今回2日連続でサンドバーが目的地の異なるツアーに参加したので、体験した範囲で比較してみます。
・ボートのサイズ（こちらのツアーの方が大きかったです。お手洗いもそれなりにしっかりしたものがあります。乗船人数が多いので、参加者によって雰囲気が左右されると思います。私たちが参加したときは親子連れや三世代参加が比較的多く和やかでした）
・アクティビティ（バナナボート、バンパーチューブにトライしたい場合はこちら。シュノーケリングやSUPはどちらでも楽しめました）
・ライブ演奏（私たちがこちらのツアーに参加したときは、日本でも有名な曲やディズニー中心でした）
・提供される軽食（こちらのドーナツはアメリカンなサイズと甘さでした）
・ボートの係留場所（サンドバーの一番の浅瀬からは少し離れた場所でした。潮位の条件もあって身長120㎝程の子供は全く足が着かない場所もあり…ライフジャケット着用ですが、泳ぐのが苦手な子にはややハードルが高いかもしれません）
・日本人ガイド（日によると思いますが、どちらのツアーも参加した日は日本語で細々とした点まで説明してくださって安心感がありました）
・着替えなど（どちらも水着の上に羽織れるものを用意して、そのままバスに乗る前提でいたほうがいいと思います。港にお手洗いがありますが、数が少なく女子トイレは長蛇の列になります。足もとはアクアシューズを履きっぱなしにするのがおすすめです。動画や写真を撮りたい方は防水スマホケースをお忘れなく！）

It was great that it was easily accessible near Ala Moana Shopping Center. There were two groups of foreigners besides our family of five and another Japanese group. The crew members didn't understand Japanese at all, but it wasn't a problem.

I tend to get motion sickness easily and can even vomit on airplanes, so I took motion sickness medication the night before and 1 hour and 30 minutes before boarding. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy the experience without feeling sick at all. However, the side effects of the medication made me very drowsy. Since it's a small boat, it sways quite a bit, so I recommend motion sickness medication even for those who usually don't get sick. I saw some people from other groups vomiting on the boat...

The amazing view from the sky is something I will never forget. The flying time is just over 5 minutes, but it's enough to enjoy. It's expensive, but it's worth it.

There was no specified amount for the tip, so I paid $20. The crew seemed happy, so I think that amount was sufficient.

アラモアナショッピングセンターの近くで、アクセスしやすいのがとても良かったです。
日本人グループは私たち5人家族ともう1グループ、あとは外国の方2グループでした。日本語が全く分からないクルーの方でしたが問題ありません。

乗り物酔いしやすく、飛行機でも嘔吐してしまうような体質なので、前日の夜と乗船1時間３０分前に酔い止めを服用しました。そのお陰か、全く酔うことなく楽しめました。ただ薬の副作用で眠気はすごかったです。小型船なのでかなり揺れますから、普段酔わない方も酔い止めをおすすめします。他のグループの方は、船上で嘔吐している方もいました…。



空から見た素晴らしい景色は、一生忘れません。飛んでいる時間は5分強？くらいですが充分楽しめます。高額ですが、それだけの価値があります。




チップは何ドルか指定されていなかったので、２０ドル支払いました。クルーの方が嬉しそうにしていたので、そのぐらいで充分なのかな？と思います。

The people in the boat was very friendly, the trip was amazing ! I really recommend the experience!!
Thank you guys for the amazing day !$

With a small group of up to five people, the transportation arrived on time, and communication was stress-free as we could converse only in Japanese. Although it was mid-September, there was a long line from the morning. The training went smoothly, and we were able to snorkel. Since it's difficult to make individual reservations locally, a tour that includes reservations is definitely the way to go. Additionally, snorkeling on Wednesdays is recommended because entry is prohibited until the day before, making it less crowded and beautiful. In the early morning, the water temperature is low, so wearing a wetsuit is more comfortable for Japanese people. It was so beautiful that I wished I could stay in longer; it was the best experience.

5人までの少人数で、送迎は時間通りに来てくれるし、日本語だけで意思疎通できるのでノンストレスでした。
9月中旬でしたが、朝から大行列。スムーズに講習を受けシュノーケルできるし、個人のネット予約は地元でも難しいので予約込みのツアーが絶対にいいです。
また、水曜日のシュノーケルは前日まで入場禁止のため綺麗でおすすめですし、早朝は水温が低いのでウェットスーツを着用した方が日本人には快適です。
もう少し長く入っていたいぐらい綺麗で最高でした。

I participated thinking I could land on a sandbar and enjoy snorkeling in the shallow waters, as mentioned in the guidebook and tour advertisement.

However, on the day of my visit, the sandbar was underwater, at a depth of 1.2 meters, likely due to high tide. I wore a life jacket and enjoyed snorkeling, but unfortunately, I didn't encounter any fish.

I would have appreciated it if the tour advertisement had mentioned that the sandbar might not be visible depending on the tides. I recommend that those planning to participate check the high tide times in advance before signing up.

ガイドブックやツアー募集にあるようなサンドバー（砂州）に、上陸して浅瀬でシュノーケリングを楽しめるかと思い参加致しました。

参加日は満ち潮だったのか、サンドバーは海の下、水深1.2m下にありました。
ライフジャケット着用しシュノーケリングは楽しみましたが、魚には遭遇出来ず残念に終わりました。

ツアー募集に潮の満ち引きによっては、サンドバーが海面に出ていない状況になる事がある旨記載して頂きたかったです。
これから参加される方は、事前に満潮時間を確認の上申込される事をお勧めします。

Honestly an experience of a lifetime! Would do again! Highlight of my trip to Hawaii!

We booked a plan with a banana boat and a paddle tube for the family. It was an exhilarating experience in the thrilling waters of Hawaii, almost feeling like we were going to be thrown off. We could enjoy snorkeling, kayaking, and SUP as we pleased.

The guide spoke fluent Japanese, so there were no issues. A light lunch was provided before swimming, which was just the right amount. We enjoyed live music on the boat, and there was a bottle to put tips in on the way back, which seemed optional.

Since it wasn't during a high tide, we could stand, but the water still reached up to our necks. Floating while gazing at the beautiful sea, fish, and the towering mountains felt uniquely Hawaiian. Even if it rained, it was just a passing shower. It gets cold when you come out of the water, so a jacket is essential. Having a waterproof phone case would have made it even better.

家族でパンパーチューブ、バナナボート付きのプランを申し込み。振り落とされそうなくらいスリル満点ハワイの海を体験。シュノーケリングにカヤック、SUPどれも好きなように楽しめます。
ガイドの方は流暢に日本語を話すので問題ありません。軽いランチも泳ぐ前には適量です。
船上ライブを聴きながら盛り上がり帰りに瓶があるのでチップを入れます。任意の様です。
大潮ではなかったので足はついても首まで海水がありました。きれいな海と魚、高山の山々を眺めながら浮かぶ気分はハワイならではと思います。雨が降っても通り雨。海から上がると寒いので上着は必須です。防水携帯ケースを持ってればもっと最高でした。

I got confused about the meeting point in the harbor and ended up getting dropped off on the completely opposite side, which meant I had to run through the parking lot. I couldn't get through on the phone and ended up being late for the meeting time. However, the staff at the shop were incredibly kind and switched me with the next group, allowing me to fly safely. At one point, I was really worried about what would happen, but their kindness was truly reassuring.

Once we took off, we quickly ascended to a high altitude, and the feeling of being able to overlook Waikiki was amazing—like being at the highest point in Waikiki! After the enjoyable flight, we had the customary Japon, and at the end, everyone who was on the boat together took photos and chatted in a friendly atmosphere. There were so many fun things to do besides flying, and it was great to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat.

ハーバー内の集合場所がわからず全く反対側でタクシーを降りてしまい駐車場内を走ることに。電話をしてもつながらず集合時間に遅刻してしまいました。
ただショップの方が大変親切で次の便の方と入れ替えてくれ無事飛ぶことができました。一時はどうなるかと肝を冷やしましたがとてもやさしくして頂き本当に心強かったです。
飛んでしまえば一瞬で高いところまで上がりワイキキを一望する気分は「ワイキキで一番高いところにいる！」という感じ。
楽しい遊覧の後はお約束のジャポンもあり、一緒にボートに乗った人たちとも最後は和気あいあいと写真を撮ったり話したり。飛ぶ以外にも楽しいことがたくさんありました。ボートからワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドを見たりできるのもよかったです。

Absolutely give it a go, had an amazing time. Compared to the outrageously expensive chartered cruises you can take to the sand bar this is by far the best way to do it. Just paddle out and take everything at your own pace. We ended up floating around with several turtles whilst on the sand bar and had an amazing four hours. Definitely the way to do it if you can handle the 40-minute paddle out there.

Kayaking out to the sandbar was one of my absolute favorite things I have done on Oahu! It wasn't too far to paddle, you get plenty of time out on the sandbar, the instructions and checkin/checkout was easy - something I will certainly do again!

The experience was a great time! The crew was friendly and knowledgeable. The water was a bit choppy at first but there was a lot of help with that, especially since we had my 14 month old and 3 year old. The girls had a great time.

Had a wonderful time kayaking and snorkeling with family. Saw lots of fish. Enjoyed the water. Entertainment was a plus. Will definitely recommend to friends.

結論から言うと参加して良かったです！！
サンドバーは浅く小さな子どもも楽しめる海で、とても楽しみにしていました。当日は天気があまり良くなく、8月のお盆の夏真っ盛りなのに海の水がかなり冷たい！！シュノーケリングは魚もいっぱいいて、海の透明度も高く良かったですが、長く海に浸かってるのは冷たすぎるので難しかったです。
なので、サップやカヤックがとても楽しめました！！スタッフのお兄さんたちは皆さん陽気で優しくとても親切でした！

久々のパラセーリングを楽しみに家族と参加しました！空から眺めるダイヤモンドヘッド、真っ青な海はとても絶景！！ですが、想像よりも高く飛んだのでさすがに怖く（笑）浮遊してる時間もそれなりにあり、料金に見合った満足度の高い内容でしたが、高所恐怖症の人は絶対にできません！高いところが好きな方は絶対楽しめます。

I requested a shuttle from the Hilton in Waikiki. With a schedule of departing at 8 AM and returning at 4 PM, it was perfect for leisurely sightseeing in Kailua and then enjoying more time in Waikiki. The driver on the day was very kind, as was the Japanese staff member at the Kailua shop who assisted us. Kailua Beach, just a 3-minute walk from the shop, and Lanikai Beach, a 20-30 minute walk from there, were both as wonderful as the reviews suggested, and they are fantastic beaches not too far from Waikiki. When we returned to the shop, it was just past 12:30 PM, but the staff kindly offered to take us to Kailua Town at 1:30 PM, allowing us to stay in town for an hour and a half. Thanks to their flexible scheduling, we were able to enjoy both the beach and the town. Although we were cutting it close, the four types of beer from Lanikai Brewing were delicious. The shop was clean, and I appreciated being able to use it for lunch and change in the changing room inside. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to enjoy Kailua with a shuttle service.

ワイキキのヒルトンからの送迎をお願いしました。8時出発、16時帰着というスケジュールで、ゆったりとカイルアを観光し、戻ってワイキキでもうひと楽しみするなら、最適と思います。当日のドライバーさんも、現地カイルアのショップで対応して下さった日本人スタッフさんもとても親切でした。ショップから徒歩3分のカイルアビーチ、そこから、20-30分歩いてのラニカイビーチはどちらも評判通りで、ワイキキからそう遠くない素晴らしいビーチでした。ショップに戻ったら、12時30分過ぎになっていたのですが、そこで、スタッフさんから1時30分にカイルアタウンへ送って下さり、タウンに1時間半滞在、という提案をいただき、その柔軟なスケジュール調整のおかげで、ビーチとタウンを両方楽しめました。時間ギリギリでしたが、ラニカイブリュワリーのビール4種類も美味しかったです。ショップはきれいで、そこを昼食に使わせてもらえたのも、ショップ内の更衣室で着替えができたのもありがたかったです。送迎でカイルアを楽しみたい方にはお勧めします。

Due to the typhoon, I was unable to arrive on the day of the activities, and I really appreciated the quick change you made for me! I had wanted to try parasailing, so it became a wonderful memory, and I'm glad I made the reservation. ☺︎

台風の影響でアクティビティの日に到着出来なくなり、急遽変更お願いしたところずらしていただき本当に助かりました！
パラセーリングはしてみたかったのでいい思い出になり予約して良かったです☺︎

I participated with my child (a college student). Since there was no transportation provided, we walked a lot from our hotel, which was near Honolulu Zoo. The meeting place was a bit hard to find. Once we flew, the view was spectacular, and we enjoyed a different side of Hawaii. They don't provide drinks, so it's best to bring your own.

子供（大学生）と2人で参加しました。
送迎なしでしたので、泊まっているホテルが、ホノルルズーの近くで、ひたすら歩きました。集合場所が、わかりづらかった。
飛んでみるとかなりの絶景で、また違うハワイを楽しめました。飲み物とかは出ないので持って行くべきです。

I participated with my 20-year-old nephew. We were a bit worried since both of us get motion sickness, but the boat didn't rock much, so it was fine. There were five groups of ten people, including us, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. The moments of going up and down were thrilling, and during the descent, they made it a bit of a steep drop and let us down into the sea, which was a lot of fun. The view from above was breathtaking, and it was the best experience. I definitely want to participate again!

20歳の甥と2人で参加しました。2人とも乗り物酔いをするので少し心配していましたが、ボートもあまり揺れずに問題ありませんでした。私たち含め5組10人でしたが、みなさん楽しそうでした。上がる時と降りる時はスリリングで、降りる時は少し急降下させたり、海に降ろしたり、楽しませてくれました。上での景色は絶景で最高の体験ができました。またぜひ参加したいです！

I have visited Hanauma Bay on my own many times, but this time I participated in a snorkeling guide tour for the first time. They secured the entrance tickets, which are difficult to book, and we were able to enter right away. Just that alone made me feel it was worth joining the tour, but what really impressed me was the snorkeling guide. When I snorkeled on my own, I wasn't sure how far I could safely go or where to find different fish. However, during the one-hour tour, I was able to see many fish that you can only see in deeper waters in Okinawa, and I was very satisfied. The Hanauma Bay I experienced with the guide was completely different from what I had seen before. I'm really glad I participated!

If I could wish for something, I would have liked to snorkel longer, so I hope there will be a tour that allows for a bit more snorkeling time, even with breaks. I would love to do this again. It was a bit chilly, so I recommend renting a wetsuit. Getting underwater photos was also a great memory!

何度もハナウマ湾には自力で来ていましたが、今回初めてシュノーケリングガイドのツアーに参加しました。
予約が難しい入場券もとって頂き、入場もすぐに入れ、それだけでもツアーに参加して良かったと思いましが、感動したのはシュノーケリングのガイドでした。個人でシュノーケリングしていた時は、どこまでは安全にシュノーケリングできるのか？どこにどんな魚がいるのか？良くわからなかったのですが、1時間の間で、沖縄だとダイビングしないと浅瀬では見られない様な魚を沢山みることができ、とっても満足しました。ガイドの方について見たハナウマ湾は、今まで見ていたものとは大違い。本当に参加して良かったです！
欲を言えば、もっと沢山シュノーケリングしたかったので、休憩をはさんでもう少し長くシュノーケリングできるツアーがあれば良いなとおもいました。またリピートしたいです。少し肌寒かったので、ウェットスーツレンタルお勧めです。水中の記念写真を撮ってもらえたのも良い思い出になりました！

I boarded with my two small children, and it didn't rock too much, so the kids had a great time! The view was completely different from what we usually see from the beach; we could see beautiful beaches, the airport, and even the commercial buildings of Hawaii from halfway across the island. I want to participate again!

小さな子供2人を連れて乗船しましたが、そこまで揺れず、子供も楽しめました！
いつもビーチから見る風景とは全然違い、美しいビーチや、空港、ハワイの商業ビルまで島の半分側から全て見渡せるほどでした。
また参加したいです！

It's very close to Hilton Village, and after enjoying the pool and lagoon, you can walk to the meeting point in your swimsuit!

ヒルトンヴィレッジからとても近く、プールやラグーンを楽しんだ後そのまま水着で歩いて集合場所まで行けます！

It's been decades since I last rode a catamaran, and since there was no sunset time setting, we boarded during the day. Even those who are weak on boats can enjoy it without worry. I knew the front would get splashed, but there were unexpected big waves. One of my companions' phones ended up submerged. It needed repairs right after returning home.

Seeing Waikiki from the sea while being blown by the wind allows you to spend a wonderful time. I got a good sunburn in those two hours, so make sure to take proper sun protection measures.

何十年ぶりのカタマラン、サンセットタイムの設定がなかったので昼に乗船
船に弱い人でも安心して楽しめます。前のほうは波をかぶることわかっていたのに、予想外の大波。同行者の携帯が水没状態。帰国後すぐに修理でした。
海からみるワイキキは風に吹かれながらマラマな時を過ごせます。この２時間でしっかり日焼け。日焼け止め対策はしっかりしましょう

I participated with my daughter (18 years old). Since I'm not very comfortable with heights, we chose the 120m course. On the day of the tour, it was quite windy, and we were informed that the captain would decide whether to proceed, but we set sail safely, and all 13 participants enjoyed parasailing.

As mentioned in other reviews, there was some swaying (the boat was just the right size for the 13 participants that day; I think it could hold a bit more). I took motion sickness medication, but my daughter seemed to feel a bit seasick. I was fine, so I think it depends on the day's conditions.

The staff noticed my daughter's condition and flexibly changed her turn to an earlier time, allowing her to soar into the blue sky and enjoy the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. Other participants were also concerned about her, which was very helpful.

I purchased the photos taken by the staff for $40. They transferred the data to my iPhone and provided an SD card. Since the photos were taken from below, opinions on how they turned out may vary, but as they are digital, it's easy to enlarge and check them, and I think they make a nice keepsake. It seemed that other participants chose the 150m option, but even at 120m, there is a decent height, and I believe those who are hesitant can still enjoy this experience. My wife and son did not participate this time, but if they are interested, I would like to join again next time.

本人（50代）と娘（18才）の2名で参加しました。
あまり高いところは得意ではないので、120mのコースを選択しました。
当日は風が強く、ツアーの実施はキャプテンの判断との説明を受けましたが、無事に出航して、参加者13人全員がパラセーリングを楽しんでいます。
他の方のレビューにも書かれていますが、それなりに揺れがあります。（ボートは当日の13人で丁度くらいの大きさです。もう少しは乗れると思いますが。）酔い止め薬を飲み参加しましたが、娘は少し船酔いした様子でした。わたしは大丈夫だったので、その日のコンディションもあると思います。
スタッフの方が娘の様子を見て、臨機応変に早めの順番に変更してくれたので、娘も青空に舞い上がり、海から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの風景を楽しむことができました。他の参加者の方も娘の様子を気にかけてくださり、助かりました。
スタッフの方が撮影してくれた写真は40＄で購入しました。iPhoneへのデータ転送とSDカードが貰えます。写真は下から撮影されるので、撮れ方は賛否あると思いますが、デジタルデータなので拡大して確認することは容易ですし、良い記念なったと思っています。他の参加者は150mを選択されていたようですが、120mでもそこそこ高さがあり、尻込みされている方はこちらでも楽しめると思うので、参加されたら良いと思います。妻と息子が今回不参加だったので、次回、希望があれば、また参加したいと思います。

I participated yesterday. It was for my honeymoon. The instructor was entertaining, and I felt safe and enjoyed myself. The view of the ocean from high up was amazing, and Diamond Head was beautiful as well.

昨日参加しました。新婚旅行での参加です。インストラクターが面白くて、安心して楽しめました。高い空からの海の眺めは最高で、ダイアモンドヘッドも綺麗でした。

I was able to make a reservation the day before, and the pickup location and time were emailed to me right away, which was reassuring. I had heard that there could be trouble if you don't know the meeting place, but it was clear at the ABC Store, so there were no issues.

About 30 of us boarded the bus, and we left Waikiki, arriving at the pier in 45 minutes. There, a Japanese staff member joined us and provided a helpful explanation in advance. On the boat, we also enjoyed live music.

The activities included snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding, and I was satisfied to have about two hours to use freely. However, since it was "do as you please," beginners should learn how to do each activity in advance.

About a quarter of the participants were Japanese. The staff were all friendly, and it was a fulfilling experience without any feelings of loneliness. I highly recommend it.

前日に予約がとれましたが、ピックアップの場所と時間は直ぐにメールされたので安心。待ち合わせの場所がわからずトラブルになるケースかあると聞いていましたが、ABCストア前でお店のナンバーが明快だったのでトラブルなし。
30人くらいでバスに乗り合わせ、ワイキキを出発して45分で埠頭に。そこで日本人スタッフがついて事前に説明していただいて助かりました。船中では弾き語りも楽しめました。
アクティビティはシュノーケリング、カヤック、SUPの3種類で、約２時間自由に使えたのは満足でした。ただ、お好きにどうぞ、なので初心者の方はそれぞれ事前にやり方を学んでおいた方がよいです。
日本人は１/4くらい。スタッフは皆さんフレンドリーで孤独感もなく充実したアクティビティでした。オススメです。

I was thrilled to be able to do SUP for the first time in my dream destination, Waikiki. The location was excellent, and it was just a short walk from the neighboring Sheraton.

My family and I had a private lesson for two, and we started by learning how to stand and paddle easily on land before heading straight to the ocean. We practiced standing up and paddling alternately.

Since we didn't wear life vests, it was surprisingly tough to swim back up every time we fell in. After a few tries, we were able to stand up, and the instructor ended up paddling off on his own. (laughs)

In the end, it was a 60-minute lesson, but I reached my physical limit after about 45 minutes and ended up sitting on the board, drifting with the waves.

憧れのワイキキで初めてのSUPができて感激でした。とにかく立地がよく、となりのシェラトンからも歩いてすぐなのがよかったです。
家族と2名でプライベートレッスンでしたが、最初は陸で簡単に立ち方や漕ぎ方を習い、すぐに海へ。
2人交互に立ち上がり漕ぐ練習をします。
ライフベストは着用しないので、落水する度に泳いで這い上がるのが意外としんどく、何度かそれぞれ立てるようになるとインストラクターの方も勝手にスイスイ漕いでどっか行ってしまいました。笑
結局60分のレッスンでしたが45分くらいで体力は限界に。板に座って波を漂ってました。

We did jet skiing, bumper tubing, and parasailing. The staff were able to communicate in Japanese, and everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Our family of five had a great time, and everyone said they really enjoyed it.

ジェットスキー、バンパーチューブ、パラセーリングをしました。
スタッフの方との会話も日本語で出来るし、とにかく皆さん大らかで対応が良く家族5人でしたが皆んなとても楽しかったと言ってました。
