The staff was amazing. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They helped make our experience most enjoyable and memorable.
We saw more turtles than we could imagine! They were constantly sticking their heads above water as if they were greeting us.
The waters were calm and the kayaks and paddle boards were well maintained.
I highly recommend this activity with Sea and Board Sports Hawaii in Haleiwa. I give them a 10 out of 10.

From start to finish this was the best part of our trip to Oahu. The staff made everything go so smoothly and were all so sweet and fun. The musicians were amazing and will even take weird song requests from the audience. The sand bar is stunning and was just so magical, the extras like the paddle boards and canoes, snorkeling and volleyball, were the cherry on top. 10000% recommend that you add this to your trip! We also did the bumper boat and although my husband hated it, my 12 year old son had a BLAST!
You can add on the bumper or banana boats while you’re on the sandbar if you are undecided..

I thought it was very enjoyable and a great experience, but it was shorter than the promised time, and I was disappointed that we were instructed to get off without any warning, as the next group was boarding immediately. It felt like it ended abruptly.
とても楽しくて体験できて良かったと思いますが、提示の時間より短くて、予告もなく降りるように指示され直ぐに次のグループが乗り込む感じだったのが残念でした。急に呆気なく終わった感じでした。
Outrigger canoe surfing allows you to ride the waves three times. Depending on the condition of the waves, the duration is about 20 minutes at the shortest. Next time, I recommend a one-hour "canoe charter."

About 30 years ago, I went parasailing. All I remember is feeling seasick ^^; This time, I made sure to take motion sickness medication before boarding.
Parasailing while enjoying the familiar scenery of Waikiki was the best. I think the time was also sufficient.
The staff spoke Japanese, which was reassuring.

Playing in the sea at Angel's Beach. Unfortunately, when I went, the tide was not low, and it was quite deep. However, I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling. The strong point here is that there are Japanese staff members and many staff who can understand Japanese. Since many of the tour participants are Japanese, I definitely recommend it if that makes you feel more comfortable.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! The staff was exceptionally welcoming, and the live music on the boat created a fun and relaxing atmosphere on the way to our destination. The location was beautiful, and our children especially loved the snorkeling and paddle boarding activities.
Although we brought our own snorkeling gear, we were impressed that the tour provides everything you need—snorkeling masks, lifejackets, and more—which makes it incredibly convenient. You really don’t need to haul your own equipment.
This experience was truly the highlight of our trip. We highly recommend it for all ages—for reference, our children are 6 and 7 years old.

I watched my middle and high school sons do parasailing, bumper tubing, and banana boating. We traveled by boat from the meeting point to a relay station in the middle of the bay, where we observed them while they enjoyed bumper tubing and banana boating. While the kids played in the distance, the staff around us occasionally chatted with us in Japanese and English, which kept us entertained.
For parasailing, even though we were just spectators, we all put on life jackets and took a small boat to the parasailing boat. Without any mental preparation, we sped across the sea at high speed, with waves splashing on our faces. Despite feeling scared, we all laughed together as a family and had a great time.
There were photos from all three activities, so it cost about $90-100, but since there were many videos and pictures taken with a telephoto DSLR and a GoPro, I thought it was reasonable.
中高生の息子たちがパラセーリング、バンパーチューブ、バナナボートをするのを見学しました。待ち合わせの場所から湾の真ん中にある中継基地(!?)へ船で移動し、バンパーチューブとバナナボートをしている間はそこから見学する形でした。遠くで子供たちが遊んでる間も、時々周りにいる係のお兄さん達が日本語や英語で楽しく話しかけてくれて退屈しませんでした。
パラセーリングは見学のみの私たちも一緒に救命胴衣をつけてパラセーリング用ボートのところまで小型ボートに乗って移動したのですが、なんの心の準備もないまま超高速で海の上を飛ぶように進んで波もバシャバシャ顔にかかって、怖がりながらも家族みんなで笑ってとても楽しかったです。
写真は3種目分ありましたので90-100ドルしましたが、望遠一眼レフやGoProを使っての動画や写真が沢山あったので、まあそんなものかなと思いました。

Since I was planning to head towards Kailua in the afternoon, I didn't arrange for a shuttle and used the city bus instead. I obtained a prepaid card called Holo Card, which is exclusive to city buses, before heading to the location. (At ABC, only one-day passes are sold, so it's better to purchase a rechargeable card at places like Seven-Eleven.) The city bus is used frequently during the trip, so it's preferable to get it on the first day. The bus arrived almost on time, but the air conditioning was strong, so a light jacket is necessary. The bus fare is quite reasonable at a daily maximum of $7.50 compared to other transportation options, making it recommended for those looking to save money. I feel that a taxi would cost around $50 to $60? In Hawaii, prices fluctuate significantly based on supply and demand. Route searches can be done easily with Google Maps. I also used an app called DaBus2, but it seemed a bit difficult to use.
At the location, a Japanese guide (a local) provided explanations in Japanese, and although it was somewhat broken, it was understandable. There were a few Japanese tourists as well, so I think it's manageable even if you don't understand everything. You need to bring a copy of the consent form in advance, but even if you forget, they have it prepared there, so you can just head to the location without worry.
The sandbar was deep enough that when an adult (170 cm) stood, the water came up to just above their chest. I think it would be fine if the sun is out, but it can be a bit chilly, so having a rash guard would be reassuring.
During the round trip from He'eia Harbor to the sandbar, there were light snacks (donuts) and drinks (water, orange juice), and the performance by the two male musicians was quite good.
I would definitely like to use this plan again when I visit Hawaii.
午後にカイルア方面へ向かう予定だったため送迎はつけず、市バスを利用した。事前に市バス限定のプリペイド式決済カードのHoloカードを入手し、現地へ向かった。(ABCだと1日乗車券のみの販売だけなので、セブンイレブン等でチャージ式のを購入すると良い)。市バスは旅行中に利用する頻度が高いので、初日に入手が好ましい。バスはほぼ時間通りに到着したが、車内は冷房が効いており羽織るものが必要。バスは1日上限7.5$と他交通機関と比較するとかなり割安なため、節約したい方にはおすすめ。感覚ですがタクシーでも5〜60$くらい?ハワイは需供で料金の変動が激しい印象。経路検索はGoogleマップだけで問題なし。DaBus2というアプリも併用したが、やや使いづらい印象。
現地では日本語ガイド(現地の方)が日本語にて説明して下さり、カタコトではあったが十分理解可能。日本人観光客も何組かおり、分からなくてもなんとかなると思います。事前に同意書のコピーを持参する必要があるが、忘れても向こうで用意してあるので最悪そのまま現地に向かえば大丈夫です。
サンドバーは大人(170cm)が立つと胸から上が水面から出る程度の深さでした。日差しがあれば大丈夫だと思うが、やや肌寒いので、ラッシュガードがあれば安心。
ヘエイア港からサンドバーまでの往復の間、軽食(ドーナツ)、水分(水、オレンジジュース)があり、男性2人組の演奏がかなり良かったです。
またハワイに訪れる際には利用したいと思えるプランでした。

I’m not good with the thrill of roller coasters, so I was honestly quite nervous before getting on. However, once I experienced it, there was almost no feeling of weightlessness or fear, and I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind!
Above all, the breathtaking views of Hawaii from the sky were truly amazing!
As others have mentioned, since there is some time spent on the boat, I think it’s a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medicine beforehand.
Photos cost $40, but they became a wonderful memory, so I’m really glad I purchased them!

This was my second time, following last year, and since I was familiar with the meeting place and the content, I enjoyed it as I expected. I went with my first grader, a second-year middle schooler, and my grandparents who are over 75, and I think it’s a suitable activity for both children and older adults. It seems that they group Japanese participants together. Last time was in the morning, so this time I chose a time just before noon when the scenery was nice, but the cobalt blue sea was still intimidating (150m). Last time, perhaps because my children were small, there wasn’t the usual pattern of dipping into the sea before going down, but this time that happened, and I was submerged more than I expected. My grandparents were submerged even more. So, those holding cameras need to be careful.
昨年に引き続き2回目で、集合場所も内容も把握していたので思った通り楽しめました。
小1、中2、75才を超えた祖父母とのぞみましたが、子どもにもご年配の方にもちょうどよいアクティビティだと思います。
どうやらこちらは、日本人は日本人のグループでまとめてくれるようです。
前回は朝だったので、今回は景色の良いお昼前を選んだのですが、コバルトブルーの海が相変わらず怖かったです(150m)
前回は子どもが小さいと思ったからか、降りる前に一回海にジャブンとつけるお決まりのパターンはなかったのですが、今回はそれがあり、思った以上に沈められました。
祖父母はさらに沈められていました。
なのでカメラを手に持つ方は注意が必要です。

I participated with my middle school son and my mother. There were four groups including us, consisting of people from European, African, and Hispanic backgrounds. The guide spoke only in English, but there weren't many explanations, so it was manageable as we took turns putting on our belts to fly!
Other points to note and things to be careful about:
- As many have mentioned, motion sickness medication is a must. There was one person on my boat who ended up feeling seasick.
- Although the meeting time is set for 30 minutes before, only the Japanese participants really adhered to it (laughs). I think arriving 10 minutes early would probably be fine!
- It seems that photo taking is optional. They will ask you on the boat, so make sure not to miss that if you want photos!
- Some people mentioned that the photo fee of $40 is cash only, but I was able to pay by card.
- After the flight, you can check the photos at the reception, and they will quickly transfer them to your phone and also provide an SD card (for iPhone users).
- The belt goes around your waist and you put your feet through it, but there was someone whose belt slipped down to their knees while flying, causing them to be in a position that was not seated but rather leaning back. It was quite nerve-wracking to watch. The crew does not check the belts during the flight, so it's best to confirm it yourself!
That's all. During the flight, I had a great conversation with my son about the pleasant wind and the blue sea at high altitudes, which became a wonderful memory. It’s a bit pricey, but I’m glad we participated. Priceless!
中学生の息子と母の二人で参加しました。
私たちと、欧米系、アフリカ系、ヒスパニック系の4組で参加。ガイドは英語オンリー。ですが、特に英語でもそんなに説明なく、ベルトを順につけて飛ぶのでなんとかなります!
それ以外の気づいた点や気をつけるべきこと。
・皆さん書いてますが酔い止め必須。私の船も1人だけ、最後は船酔いされてました。
・30分前集合、となっているが、ちゃんと守ったのは日本人だけ(笑) 10分前でも多分大丈夫です!
・写真撮影は希望制みたいです。船の上で聞かれるので、撮ってもらいたい方はそれを聞き逃さないよう!
・写真代40$は現金のみと書かれている方もいますが、カードで払えました。
・写真は降りた後に受付のところで確認の上、線を携帯につないで一瞬で取り込んでくれます&SDもくれます(iPhoneの場合)。
・ベルトは足を通して腰で締めますが、足(お尻)の部分のベルトが下に落ちたまま(膝の方に近い位置のまま)飛んでしまった方がいて、その方だけ座る体勢ではなく、後ろ重心で寝るような格好になってしまい、見ているこちらがずっとハラハラしました。飛ぶ際にクルーの方はベルトの確認などしてくれませんので、しっかり自分で確認した方がいいです!
以上。
飛んでいる間に高いところで息子と風の気持ちよさや海の青さなど会話したこと、いい思い出になりました。
ちょっとお高いけど、参加してよかったです。プライスレス‼︎
I'm a bit anxious about flying only in English, but I'll be fine!
英語オンリーで飛ぶまで不安ですが大丈夫です!

I had a few things I wanted to confirm after making the reservation, but each time I reached out to the organizing company via email, they were able to clarify everything, so I was able to enjoy the experience without any issues on the day!
Additionally, there was someone at the local reception who spoke Japanese, so simply stating my name completed the check-in process, which was much easier than I had imagined.
If I had to point out a downside, it would be that the meeting point is only at the local site, so you will need to find your own way to and from Hawaii Kai, which could be a bit of a hassle.
There were also Japanese groups at the same time on-site, but they seemed to have a plan that included bus transportation, so if there were options for shuttle services like on other company sites, it would make participation even easier!
予約後に確認したい事がいくつが出てきましたが、その都度メールで開催会社へ連絡して確認して頂けましたので、当日は問題なく体験する事ができました!
また現地の受付には日本語の話せる方がいらっましゃるので名前を言うだけで受付完了となり想像していたよりも簡単に手続きが完了しました。
強いていえば現地集合のブランなのみとなりますので、ハワイカイまでの往復は自力でなんとか移動する事が必要となる点がネックになるかと思います。
現地では同じ時間で日本人の団体もいらつましゃいましたが、バスによる送迎付きのプランの様でしたので、他社サイトと同じ様に送迎付きプランも選択肢としてあると、より参加しやすくなるかと思います!
- It took about 30 minutes by car from the hotel in Waikiki to Hawaii Kai.
- It's standard to go in swimwear, and if you want to change on the way back, there is a space in front of the locked local
・ワイキキのホテルから現地ハワイカイまでは車で30分程度かかりました。
・水着で行く事が基本となり、帰りに着替えたい場合は鍵のかかる現地トイレ前スペース(1人用のみ)となります。
