All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

So much fun

We did the 1000ft rope.

My son was really hesitant to go up but the staff were excellent, caring, accommodating and managed to get him to do it - which he then thoroughly enjoyed, especially when getting dunked into the sea!

Excellent staff

Highly recommended activity

It felt higher than I imagined. Even for someone like me who is not good with roller coasters, I was able to ride without feeling scared. It's located about a five-minute walk from the Hilton Hotel, making it convenient for those staying at the Hilton. Thanks to that, I was able to quickly enjoy the ride even with the short time I had on the day of my departure. I wasn't sure if there was an additional fee for taking photos.

想像以上に高く感じました。
ジェットコースターが苦手な私でも、恐怖を感じることなく乗れました。
ヒルトンホテルから徒歩五分くらいのところにあり、ヒルトンホテルに滞在している人に便利な立地です。おかげで、出国当日の短い時間でもサクッと乗ることができました。
写真を撮ってもらうのが別料金かかるのかわかりませんでした。

We arrived around 8:20 since we rented a car. We checked in right away at the spot with the red umbrella. It went smoothly without any issues.

I understand some English, but I felt reassured as a Japanese female guide explained everything carefully before we boarded the boat.

All the staff were very kind, and we had a great time. We played with the SUP and the boat the whole time. The person in charge of SUP was local but could speak quite a bit of Japanese, which was very helpful. (It was amusing Japanese.)

On the boat, there was water and orange juice available. While the website and reviews mentioned snacks like chips, we only had donuts during our visit. Unfortunately, they ran out by the time we returned, which was disappointing. I hope they consider having more variety and quantity of snacks. It seems inconsistent from day to day.

It's advisable to bring marine shoes, towels, hats, and rash guards since there's no shade in the water. There was only one changing area, so there was quite a line. If you dislike waiting, it's better to come back a bit earlier.

On the way back, coincidentally, a couple of musicians participating in the tour sang for us. The local staff seemed excited, so they must be famous musicians. I wonder who they are? Their child also sang along, and it was incredibly cute. The atmosphere on the boat became very warm and pleasant.

Most of the participants were Japanese, but I didn't confirm this properly, and it seemed like they didn't tip much, which made me feel a bit sorry for the staff.

Overall, I was very satisfied. The children were happy too. Thank you very much.

レンタカーでしたので、8：20頃到着。
着いてすぐに赤いパラソルのとこでチェックイン。問題なくスムーズにできました。
英語はある程度わかりますが、船に乗る前に女性の日本人ガイドが丁寧に説明してくれましたので安心しました。

スタッフはみんな優しい方ばかりで楽しかったです。
我々はずっとSUPとボートで遊んでました。
SUP担当の方は、現地の方ですが日本語をかなり話すことができサポートもあり大変良かったです。（おもしろ日本語です）

船内は水、オレンジジュースがありました。軽食はホームページや口コミではチップス等あるようでしたが、我々のときはドーナツのみ。数に限りがあったので帰りには無くなっていたのが残念です。軽食の数や種類をもう少し考えてほしいかな。日によって違うのはどうかと。。

持って行った方が良いのは、マリンシューズ、タオル、帽子とラッシュガード。海の中なので日よけがないので。
着替えるところが1か所のみなので、だいぶ並んでました。待つのが嫌な人は、少し早めにあがることですね。

帰りに、たまたま？ツアーに参加していたミュージシャン夫婦が歌ってくれました。現地スタッフは興奮していたので有名なミュージシャンのようです。誰なんでしょう？夫婦の子供も一緒に歌っていて、すごく可愛かったです。船内がとても和みました。

参加者の多くが日本人でしたが、ちゃんとは確認してませんが、あまりチップを払ってなかったようだったので、スタッフさんに少し申し訳ない気持ちになりました。

全体的にはすごく満足。子供たちも喜んでました。ありがとうございました。

It was my first time out at the Kaneohe Sandbar on my fourth trip to Oahu.
I've heard about it before, never had a chance. It was everything I expected and beyond. The crew was very friendly. It has to be the best activity I've ever done in Oahu!!

The water level was higher than I expected, and I couldn't find any sandy beaches, but I was able to enjoy snorkeling as a result.

Also, the rental stand-up paddleboards (SUP) were very popular, so if you don't go early, you'll have to wait a long time.

思ってたより水位が高く、砂浜には出会えませんでしたがその分シュノーケリングが堪能できました。

また、レンタルできるSUPはとても人気だったため、早く行かないと長い時間待つことになります。

It started with a live performance on the boat, followed by bumper tubes and banana boat rides, and then snorkeling, which was full of fun! We even encountered a sea turtle (^^) And finally, we indulged in the live performance once again... I sincerely pray for the reconstruction of Maui.

船上ライブに始まり、バンパーチューブ&バナナボートその後シュノーケリングと楽しさ満載でした！
ウミガメにも遭遇して(^^)
そして最後に再びライブに酔いしれ…
マウイ島の再建を心よりお祈りいたします。

During my stay, I had been wanting to ride a catamaran, so I made a reservation for 11 AM two days later. The booking process was smooth. On the day of the trip, the weather was great, and we went further out than I expected. It was really fun to see Diamond Head from an angle I had never seen before, and it felt like I was walking on the beautiful blue ocean. Even the waves we encountered while on board felt refreshing. Most of the participants were from overseas, but everyone was in a relaxed mood, enjoying themselves in their own way. The duration of the trip was just right—not too short, not too long—and I was more than satisfied! I definitely want to go again next time.

滞在中、ずっと乗りたいと思っていたカタマランを思いつき翌々日の11時を予約しました。予約はスムーズに取れました。当日は天気も良く、思った以上に沖へ出ます。ダイヤモンドヘッドを見た事が無い角度から眺め青い海の上を散歩しているような感じでとても楽しかったです。乗船中被る波すらも気持ちいい。海外の方の参加が殆どでしたが、皆さんそれぞれ好きなようにリラックスして楽しむ雰囲気です。時間も短すぎず、長過ぎず丁度よく想像以上に大満足！次回も乗りたいと思います。

This is my fourth time participating.
It's incredibly refreshing!
We often join on the last day of our trip.
We take off our sandals on the beach before boarding, and we go barefoot inside the catamaran.
Depending on the waves, you might get splashed!
Make sure to take precautions against sunburn!
If you're lucky, you might even see a honu (sea turtle).

3.4回目の参加になります。
何しろ気分爽快‼️
私たちはよく旅行最終日に参加します。
ビーチでサンダルを脱いで乗船になり、カタマラン内では裸足です。
波によってはビチャーッ❗なんてことも……
日焼け対策はしっかり！
運が良ければホヌ(海亀)も見れます。

It was a great experience!
There were no downsides at all!
I got to see beautiful scenery, and it was a wonderful experience.
Thank you very much!

とてもいい体験でした！
悪い点は一つもありません！
良い景色を見れて、良い体験になりました
ありがとうございました！

It was an amazing experience. We arrive in a boat to a sandbar, the water is clear as crystal and pure. You wan snorkel, play volleyball and tan.
If you have chance you can see turtles as well !

The captain is great, we caught a 250lb blue marlin, perfect itinerary When you meet a 250 lb blue marlin and you make a wow sound, it's awesome

I had 2 teenage granddaughters with me. They tried paddle boarding, snorkeling, and other. I just walked around the sand bar and sat in the floating barge and talked to many others. For me it was very relaxing. And the girls loved it. They met many new friends.

The staff were very cheerful, and it turned into a fun trip! I also signed up for activities, and they were enjoyable! 😊

スタッフの方もとても明るく、楽しい旅になりました！アクティビティも申し込みましたが、たのしかったです(^^)

I was worried it might be scary since I'm not good with roller coasters, but it wasn't scary at all! The scenery and the wind felt great.

ジェットコースター系が苦手なので怖いかなぁと心配していましたが、全く怖くなかったです！
景色と風が気持ちよかったです。

I participated with my 8-year-old son, and he said it was the most fun among all the activities we did. We enjoyed it more than we expected. Thank you very much.

8才の息子と一緒に参加しましたが、
いろんなアクティビティをした中で一番楽しかったと言って喜んでいました。想像以上に楽しめました。ありがとうございました。

This was my third time kayaking, so I didn't take a guide. Before departure, I checked a 10-minute explanation on a tablet. We transported the kayak on a cart for about five minutes to the nearby riverbank, then lifted it off the cart and into the water. This was my first experience in this area, so I was a bit nervous but felt happy when I succeeded. When we reached the beach, a young man asked in English, "It's from a nearby shop, do you need support?" I thought I would be asked for a tip, so I declined with a "No thank you" (he might have been genuinely kind; another young man helped pull the kayak up to the sandy beach when we were leaving).

The uninhabited island seemed to be about 300 meters away, but it was difficult to get on the kayak at the water's edge. We laughed while getting on, even as we tipped over. After that, we paddled right and left, struggling to balance our power, and with the waves, I felt a bit anxious about whether we would be okay. After about ten minutes, we got into a rhythm and arrived at the uninhabited island in about twenty minutes.

After that, we paddled steadily towards the coral reef at Lanikai Beach. We borrowed snorkeling gear, left the kayak on the beach, and went snorkeling. I had put my sunglasses, shoes, and boots in a mesh bag for snorkeling, but since I didn't secure it properly, some of the items floated away. I found a few later, but remember to close the bag tightly. This took about three hours.

After eating, we rented bicycles and went cycling. I had planned to try bodyboarding, but the waves weren't that strong. I paddled quite hard, so I didn't have the energy to think about anything else, which gave me a good sense of fatigue, satisfaction, and accomplishment. The sea and the scenery were very beautiful, and I saw sea turtles swimming.

カヤックは３回目くらいですので、ガイドはつけませんでした。
出発前にタブレットで１０分程度の説明を確認してから出発です。
台車に載せてあるカヤックを、５分くらい近くの川べりまで運んでから、台車からおろして、よいしょと川へ。この辺も初体験なのでちょっとドキドキしながら、できた！とうれしい。浜辺に着くと、お兄さんが「近くのショップのものだが、サポートが必要か？」と英語で聞いてくるので、きっとチップを取られると思い、No thank youとお断り（本当は親切かもしれません。帰るとき別のお兄さんがカヤックを砂浜まで引き上げて助けてくれました。）。
無人島は300mくらい先のようですが、まず波打ち際でカヤックに乗るのが難しい。沈しながら、笑いながら乗船。その後は、右に行ったり、左に行ったり、二人のパワーバランスが揃わず、波もあり、大丈夫なのか？とちょっと不安になりました。１０分くらいすると調子も出てきて、２０分くらいで無人島に到着。
その後は、ラニカイビーチのサンゴ礁を目指してひたすら漕ぐ。シュノーケリングのセットを借りたので、浜辺にカヤックを置いて、シュノーケリング。シュノーケリングを入れる網袋にサングラス、靴、ブーツなどをいれていましたが、口をしっかり留めなかったので、中に入れていたものが流れてしまいました。いくつかはその後見つかりましたが。口をしっかり締めることをお忘れなく。これで３時間くらい。
食後、自転車を借りてサイクリング。ボディーボードをやろうと思っていましたが、それほどの波はありませんでした。
結構必死に漕いだので、他のことを考える余裕もなく、良い疲労感と満足感、そして達成感が得られました。海も景色もとても綺麗でした。ウミガメが泳いでいました。

I experienced it for the first time. It was really high!! Looking down, the sea was far away and the boat looked tiny, and I was genuinely scared thinking the rope might snap and I would fall... My son, who was with me, seemed to be having a great time, but I was too scared to enjoy it at all. I ended up chanting a prayer. The time felt incredibly long. However, towards the end, when we splashed into the water, it was fun. Everyone was getting splashed, and we all laughed together.

The boat staff were friendly and engaging, even with Japanese guests. I definitely recommend experiencing this. It will become a lifelong memory.

As for the meeting point, it took about 20 minutes to walk leisurely from the center of Waikiki while checking Google Maps. You don't need to take the trolley.

初めて体験しました。いやもう高い！！足元を見ると海面も遠くボートもちっちゃく、ロープが切れて落ちるんじゃないかと思うと本当に怖かった、、、。一緒に乗った息子はとても楽しそうでしたが、私は怖すぎて無でした。念仏唱えました。時間もえらく長く感じました。しかし最後の方で水面にぼちゃん！は楽しかった。どの組もぼちゃんやられててみんなで笑いました。
ボートのスタッフは日本人にも気さくにどんどん絡んでくるフレンドリーな方でした。
ぜひ体験することをおすすめします。
一生の思い出になりますよ。

待ち合わせ場所ですが、ワイキキの中心からグーグルマップみながらのんびり歩いてたしか20分くらいでした。トロリー乗らなくても大丈夫ですよ。

There was absolutely no white sandy beach due to high tide. As for snorkeling, the water wasn't particularly clear, and while the staff fed the fish to attract them, there were only a few dark-colored ones; it wasn't an experience that would leave you in awe with beautiful fish.

There are many jagged corals, so going barefoot is dangerous. It really hurts if you bump into them, so I recommend wearing marine shoes.

It was my first time on a banana tube, and it was a lot of fun. I almost fell off several times but managed to hold on tightly and stay safe. I didn't try the banana boat, but I think the bumper tube is more thrilling and allows you to scream your heart out.

Lastly, even though it was midsummer, it was incredibly cold. They only have cold drinks available. Make sure to bring a jacket and a beach towel. Even wearing a hoodie, it was cold. By the way, they sell long-sleeved hoodies at ABC as well. In Hawaii, it’s freezing inside buildings, on buses, and on boats.

満潮なのか白い砂浜全くありませんでした。それよりも、シュノーケルですが海は特に透明でもなく、魚もスタッフがエサをあげて寄ってこさせてはいますが、黒っぽいのが少しいるだけで、きれいな魚がたくさんいて感動するようなことはありませんでした。
ゴツゴツのサンゴがたくさんあるので素足は危ないです。当たると本当に痛いですのでマリンシューズを履くことをおすすめします。
バンパーチューブは初めてだったのでとても楽しかった。何度も落ちそうになったけど必死にしがみついてなんとか無事でした。バナナボートはやりませんでしたが、バンパーチューブのほうが思いっきり叫べるしスリリングで楽しいと思います。
最後に、真夏でしたがまじで死ぬほど寒いです。飲み物は冷たいものしかありません。必ず上着、ビーチタオルを持っていってください。パーカー着ても寒い。ちなみにABCでも長袖のパーカーなど売っています。ハワイは建物内もバスも船の上も死ぬほど寒いです。

I participated with my 9-year-old child.

It had been quite a while since I last rode a catamaran, so it was a nice change.

At this time of year, I think you don't have to worry too much about the weather, but since there was a hurricane, I wanted to see the beach as soon as we arrived in Hawaii, so I made a last-minute reservation.
It was fine to book the day before, and I received an immediate confirmation email. There were no issues with check-in on the day.

Boarding involved getting wet up to about my knees, and there’s a rule to shake off the sand from your sandals before getting on. The seating is first-come, first-served, but everyone was courteous and shared.

Once we set sail and headed out, we caught the wind. The front of the boat took quite a bit of spray, but that’s part of the fun of being on a catamaran.
While it was calm at the beach that day, there were significant waves offshore, and we glided over them.
The first half was quite an intense activity, but on the way back, we enjoyed a peaceful sail while taking in the views of Diamond Head and the streets of Waikiki.
I was able to take some great photos.

The downside was the location.
Based on my old memories, I headed towards the Sheraton, but I couldn't get through from the pool area and had to take a long detour from the parking lot to reach it.
It seems like you could access it from Kai Market or around the pool, but it felt like it was limited to Sheraton guests.
It would be helpful if there were more detailed route instructions.

9歳の子どもと参加しました。

自分がカタマランは乗ったのは随分前で久々の参加でした。

この時期は天気の心配はあまりしなくていいとは思いますが、ハリケーンもあったのでハワイに着いてビーチの様子を見たくて、直前の予約となりました。
予約は前日でも大丈夫で、即OKのメールがきました。当日のチェックインも問題なかったです。

乗船は膝くらいまで濡れる感じで、サンダルは乗る前に砂を落としておくルール。座席は自由な感じで、早い者勝ちだけど譲り合いながら。

出航して沖に出ると風を受けて進みます。前方はかなり波を被りますが、それがカタマランの楽しさ。
この日はビーチだと穏やかでしたが、沖は結構な波で、滑空するように波を乗り越えます。
前半はかなり激しいアクティビティでしたが、後半の帰りはダイアモンドヘッドやワイキキの街並みを眺めながら、穏やかなセイリング。
いい写真撮れました。

難点は開催場所。
昔の記憶でシェラトンの辺りに向かうとプールの辺りから通り抜けられず、駐車場の方から大回りしてたどり着きました。
カイマーケットか、プールあたりからはいけそうなんですが、シェラトンの宿泊者限定っぽい感じで。
ルート案内がもう少し情報があれば。

C'était une expérience incroyable! L'équipage et les musiciens étaient au top! Très bien organisé et encadré !!! Je recommande a 100%
J'ai pu faire du snorkeling, paddle et canoé toujours dans la bienveillance de l'équipage. Merci pour l'expérience.

We took a boat from the port, which we reached by bus in about an hour from Ala Moana. The live music was lovely, and the lunch was quite tasty.

On that day, the wind was strong and the water was cold, so I returned to the boat after wading in up to my waist. Since my condition and the water temperature didn't match well, I gave it four stars.

My two college-aged daughters enjoyed kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and swimming for a full two and a half hours. Most of the other guests were having fun in the sea.

アラモアナからバスで1時間くらいで到着した港で船に乗りました。生演奏もステキで、ランチも割とおいしかったです。

この日は風邪が強く、水が冷たかったので、私は腰まで入水したところで船に戻りました涙
私の体調と水温が相性が合わなかったので星4つにさせてもらいました。


大学生の娘ふたりは、2時間半たっぷりとカヤック、サップ、泳ぎと楽しんでいました。ほとんどの他の方々は海で楽しんでおられました。

They provided gentle support for beginners who experience issues like tangled fishing lines, difficulty attaching bait, or removing hooks from caught fish. They cheered when they spotted sea turtles and dolphins.

釣り糸が絡まったり、餌がうまく付けられない、釣った魚から針をはずせない、など釣りの初心者が体験する際にも優しくサポートしてくれました。
海亀や、イルカなどを見かけては歓声を上げていました。

It was a kayak and snorkeling tour. It was my first time kayaking, but since Tomo could speak Japanese, I felt at ease. For snorkeling, we went to the heavenly sea by bike, which was included for free, but I felt a bit short on time. Next time, I would like to snorkel a little longer. The staff member Natsue was very friendly and taught us various things, making it a very enjoyable time.

カヤックとシュノーケルのツアーでした。
カヤックは初めてでしたがともさんが日本語ができるので安心してできました。
シュノーケルは天国の海まで無料でついている自転車で行きましたが、時間が少し足りなく感じました。次回はもう少し長くシュノーケルしたいと思いました。
スタッフのなつえさんも気さくに色々教えて頂きとても楽しい時間を過ごせました。

I was moved by the deep blue of the sea seen from above. The rich, deep blue ocean is something you rarely encounter elsewhere. I was able to experience a precious moment.

上空から見た海の青さに感動しました。濃い深みのある青い海は他ではなかなか見られません。貴重なひと時を体験することが出来ました。

My daughter absolutely loved this beach! We loved this and would go back time and time again!

Beautiful views of the crystal clear Waikiki waters!

We participated as a family of four (two boys in 6th and 4th grade). The pickup was smooth, and the shuttle bus was new and comfortable. There was one Japanese female staff member on site, which made the children feel at ease. We checked the low tide times in advance and made a reservation, so we were able to play in water that was about thigh-deep at the sandbar. By the time we returned to the boat, the water level had risen significantly, which surprised the kids (it was a great experience). The wind was strong, and the SUP and canoe were quickly swept away, but we had plenty of fun. The SUP had a loose screw and was exposed, which could have caused injuries. The snorkeling was just for fun, so if you're looking for a more serious snorkeling experience, I recommend a different tour. There were jellyfish along the way, but the staff informed us, so we avoided getting stung. I'm glad I brought aqua shoes, as there were a lot of corals, and going barefoot could lead to injuries. We didn't see any sea turtles on this tour, but it seems like they were spotted on another tour, so I plan to try again someday. I recommend arriving a bit earlier than the meeting time to change clothes, as there are only 1-2 changing rooms for passengers. The beautiful sandbar, delicious donuts, and the music along the way created a wonderful atmosphere and made for a fun memory!☆

家族4人（小6小4男児）で参加しました。ピックアップもスムーズで送迎バスも新しく快適でした。現地には日本人女性スタッフが1人がいたので子供たちも安心でした。肝心のサンドバーは事前に干潮時間を調べて予約したので太もも位の高さで遊べました。船に戻る頃には大分水位が上がっていたので子供たちもびっくりしていました（いい体験です）。風が強くSUPやカヌーはすぐ流されてしまいましたが十分楽しめました。SUPからねじが外れていてむき出しでケガしそうでした。シュノーケリングは遊び程度なので本格的なシュノーケリングがしたい方は別のツアーをおすすめします。途中毒クラゲもいましたがスタッフが教えてくれたので刺されずに済みました。持って行ってよかったのがアクアシューズです。サンゴがいっぱいあるので素足だとケガすると思います。このツアーではウミガメは見れず、別のツアーでは見れたようなのでいつかリベンジします。集合時間よりも早めに上がって着替えを済ませることをおススメします。（乗客対して更衣室が1～2か所しかありません）美しいサンドバーはもちろん、美味しいドーナツも道中の演奏も雰囲気がよく楽しい思い出になりました☆

MIckey did a great job of explaining and making sure that everyone felt safe and had a good time. I only wish we could have stayed out longer.

I was first grateful that there were Japanese staff members since I am not fluent in English. The explanations were very clear. All the staff were cheerful and very kind, often engaging in conversation. The donuts were delicious, and there was plenty of water available.

We were able to enjoy both the banana boat and the bumper tube, and there were many types of activities to choose from. The wonderful live music was soothing, and we had a really fun time!

The weather wasn't great, so the water wasn't clear, and it was cold when the wind blew. It seems that it rains every day due to the geography, so there's not much to be done about that. I recommend wearing a rash guard.

英語が堪能でないので、日本人スタッフがいてくれたことにまず感謝でした。説明がよくわかりました。スタッフの方は皆さん明るくて、話しかけてくれたりしてとても優しかったです。ドーナツも美味しかったし、水分もたくさん用意されてました。
バナナボート、バンパーチューブ両方できて、遊べる種類もたくさんあるし、素晴らしい生演奏に癒されて、とても楽しい時間でした！

お天気がイマイチでしたので、海の中もクリアーでなく風があると寒かった。地形的に毎日雨降るそうで仕方ない所ですが。ラッシュガード着用をオススメします。

The meeting was at 4 PM, and the start was pushed back to 5 PM instead of the planned 4:30 PM. We had kept our schedule flexible, which was good, but I felt it would be better to allow more time in the schedule.

Since several groups board the boat at the same time to head out to sea, the boat repeatedly stops and goes while waiting. Depending on the day, the waves can be high, so some people might experience significant seasickness. I recommend that those who are prone to it take motion sickness medication beforehand.

It was my first time parasailing, and at first, the thrill was incredible, but once I got used to the height, it was amazing. From 150 meters up, you can see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head all at once. My family was thrilled and said it became a wonderful memory. My son, who is 8 years old, was scared at first but started shouting that it was the best part halfway through.

I highly recommend it!

集合が16時集合、16時半スタートが17時スタートと30分押してスタート。私たちはその後、予定をアバウトにしていたので良かったですが、時間は余裕を持ってスケジュールした方が良いなと感じました。
ボートで沖合まで出るのと数組同時に乗り込むので、船で待機している間は縦横無尽にボートはストップ&ゴーを繰り返します。また日によっては波が高いので、かなり船酔いされる方もいるかもしれません。弱い方は酔い止めなど飲まれていくことをオススメします。
パラセーリング初めてでしたが、初めはスリル感がハンパじゃないですが、高さに慣れてくれば最高でした。
150mからワイキキビーチ〜ダイヤモンドヘッドを一望出来ます。家族も最高の想い出になったと喜んでいました。息子も8歳で初めは怖がってはいましたが、途中から最高と叫んでいました。
是非オススメです。
