All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

The ocean in Waikiki is beautiful, but this place is on another level! It was a clear emerald green. We did bumper tubing, banana boating, snorkeling, and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). We stayed in the water the whole time without returning to the boat. The bumper tubing we did right after arriving was quite challenging, especially for families with kids. It was thrilling! The time felt long enough that I thought we should go back, but I was completely satisfied. We went banana boating with four people. It wasn't as difficult as the bumper tubing, but you could really feel the sea breeze—definitely a classic ocean activity! For snorkeling, you can use your own gear or rent some. We fed the fish and filmed the ocean with a GoPro. The SUP had an instructor, so it was reassuring to know that if you fell, you’d just land in the water! It was a fantastic time enjoying the ocean in Hawaii.

ワイキキの海も綺麗ですが、ここは別格！透き通ったエメラルドグリーンでした。バンパーチューブ、バナナボート、シュノーケリング、サップをやりました。一度も船に戻らず、ずっと海に。着いてすぐにやったバンパーチューブは難易度高め？お子さんを乗せているご家族も。スリル満点！もう戻ってーと思うほど時間も長くて大満足。バナナボートは4人で乗りました。バンパーチューブほどは難易度は高くないですが、潮風を感じられてザ・海のアクティビティ！シュノーケリングは自分のものでも、貸し出しを使用してもOK。えさをもらってゴープロで海を撮影しました。サップはインストラクターもいて、落ちても海なので安心！ハワイの海を大満喫できた時間でした。

I was looking forward to it! Sandbar.
There was a little incident on the way there, but I was overwhelmed by the scenery that made me forget all about it.

楽しみにしていた！サンドバー
行きの車ではハプニングがあったけど、それを払拭するほどの、光景に圧倒されたのしめました。

I participated with my elderly father, two daughters, and one grandchild. I wanted to decide based on the morning conditions, so it was helpful that I could make a reservation on the morning of the event. It seemed like it could be done without a reservation, but I think making a reservation is more beneficial because there are discounts and other perks. It was an exciting experience to see Waikiki from a perspective that we usually don't get to see. However, there were some comments that the time spent flying in the air was a bit long, and some people got a little bored.

高齢の父、娘2名、孫1名で参加しました。
朝の状態をみて決めたかったので、当日の朝でも予約できて助かりました。
予約無しでもできそうでしたが、予約した方が割引等あったりするので、お得だと思います。
普段見られない視点からのワイキキでしたので、大興奮でした。
ただ、上空で飛んでいる時間が少し長くて、少し飽きてしまったという声もありました。

We had no idea what to expect. We just thought a little boat ride would be fun. It ended up being our favorite thing we did on our trip. We started off in the bay seeing dolphins swimming and spinning around and then went through some white capped waves that felt like a thrill ride. We laughed and smiled the whole time. Felt completely safe and taken care of.

The waves were not high, and it was comfortable. We saw dolphins shortly after departing, which really boosted everyone's spirits! I think people of all ages can enjoy this. There were even pregnant women on board. If you're worried about seasickness, it might be a good idea to take some motion sickness medication beforehand for peace of mind.

波も高くなくて快適でした。
出港してすぐくらいにイルカを見られて、みんなのテンションが上がりました！
幅広い年齢層の方が楽しめると思います。
妊婦さんもいらっしゃいました。
船酔いが心配な方は、酔い止めを飲んでおいた方が安心かもしれません。

The staff was friendly, and we enjoyed the activities. However, some people on the same bus were being excessively noisy both on the bus and on the boat, which made us uncomfortable. There are people who want to rest on the shared bus, and it was too loud, making it difficult for us to have conversations. I understand that it might be difficult to address this on the spot, so I would appreciate it if you could raise awareness about this in your guidelines or instructions.

スタッフは親切でアクティビティも楽しめました。ただ、同じバスの方たちがバスの中や船内で度を越えた騒ぎ方をしていて不快な気持ちになりました。乗り合いバスの中は、休みたい人もいますし、騒がし過ぎて、バスや、船内では。私達の会話もほとんどできませんでした。その場での注意は難しいと思いますので、注意事項などで喚起していただけますと幸いです。

We had an early morning meeting, but they arrived on time to pick us up. The guidance was in English only, and since my English skills are non-existent, I couldn't understand the conversation at all, but it seemed like the guide was doing their best. (I'm sorry...) It was a mixed taxi, but the air conditioning was extremely strong, so even someone like me who gets hot easily was shivering, so I think a jacket is essential. The weather was nice, and even though it was February, we could see the beautiful sunrise.

朝早くからの集合でしたが、、時間通りにお迎えきていただけました。英語のみの案内なので、当方英語力皆無で、トーク内容は全然わかりませんでしたが、一生懸命ガイドしていただいてるようでした。（すみません。。）混合タクシーでしたが、めちゃめちゃ冷房が効いていて、暑がりの私でも震えましたので上着は必須だと思います。
お天気も良く、２月の時期でしたが朝日もきれいにみえました。

This was my first experience snorkeling abroad, so I felt very reassured by having a Japanese guide. Unlike regular beaches, Hanauma Bay offers a unique experience with entry restrictions and mandatory viewing of an educational video upon entry. I encountered sea turtles three times, and I was able to take great photos and videos with the rented camera. The fish in the coral reefs were large and impressive. Although the actual snorkeling lasted about an hour, I think it was just the right amount of exertion for us in our mid-fifties. It was truly enjoyable! Since it was November, I followed the guide's advice and wore a wetsuit, so I didn't feel cold at all. Additionally, I was advised to take motion sickness medication beforehand, which helped me avoid feeling unwell even when the waves were high. I really appreciated the guide's helpful advice.

海外でのシュノーケリングは初体験だったので、日本語ガイド付きという点でとても安心でした。また、普通のビーチと違い、入場制限や入場時の啓発ビデオ視聴が義務付けられているハナウマ湾ならではの体験ができました。ウミガメとの遭遇も３回もあり、レンタルしたカメラでもいい写真や動画を撮ることができました。また、サンゴ礁の魚たちはサイズが大きくて、見ごたえがありました。シュノーケリング自体は正味１時間ですが、５０代半ばの私たちにとってはちょうどいい負荷だったと思います。本当に楽しかったです！１１月ということで、ガイドさんのアドバイスにしたがいウエットスーツを着用したので寒さも感じませんでしたし、事前に酔い止めを勧められて服用していたので、波が高くても気分が悪くなることもありませんでした。ガイドさんの適切なアドバイスがとてもありがたかったです。

It was my first time doing ocean activities in Hawaii, and it was amazing! I was moved to see Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from the water. I will definitely make a reservation the next time I go to Hawaii. I also plan to book a sunset catamaran next time 😊.

ハワイでの海のアクティビティは初めてでしたが、とても良かったです！
ダイアモンドヘッド、ワイキキビーチを海から見れて感動しました。
ハワイに行く際は必ず予約します。
次はサンセットのカタマランも予約しようと思います😊

The fishing guy was very helpful, fixed all the issues. Good service, but I wanted more fish.

I'm not good at marine sports, but I was invited by a friend and participated. We paddled a canoe and were able to go to deep parts of the ocean that we wouldn't have dared to go to on our own. Riding the waves was fun, and the scenery was beautiful—it was the best! The instructor was also good at Japanese, which made me feel at ease!

マリンスポーツは苦手ですが友達に誘われて参加しました。
カヌーをこいで自分たちだけでは怖くて行けない海の深いところまで行けて、波に乗るのも楽しく、景色も綺麗で最高でした！
インストラクターの方も日本語が上手で安心しました！

My five year old granddaughter had a blast catching the most fish. The captain and mate took her under their thumb and gave her a first lesson she’ll never forget. Very awesome.

One in a Lifetime Experience with the most beautiful Views

There are few photos, but the videos I took are amazing to watch later! If you go to Hawaii, you definitely should experience the 150m ride!

写真は少ないが動画を撮って、後から観ても最高！
ハワイに行ったら絶対150m体験した方がいいですよ。

The hotel pickup was on time. A friendly driver took us to the location while providing sightseeing information. The weather at Hanauma Bay was perfect. Since the number of visitors is limited, we were able to enjoy snorkeling in a spacious and relaxed environment. The return pickup time was also accurate, allowing us to spend our time efficiently and as planned.

ホテルのピックアップは予定時間通り。フレンドリーなドライバーが観光案内をしながら現地まで送ってくれました。ハナウマ湾の天気は最高でした。
入場者数が制限されているので、ゆったりとしたスペースでシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。
帰りのお迎え時間も正確で、無駄なく予定通りの時間を過ごすことができました。

It was a bit different from the sandbar I had in mind, but my family who accompanied me seemed to enjoy it. I thought the staff's response was very good. I wish the light snack donuts had been malasadas.

思っていたサンドバーとは少し違っていましたが同行していた家族は、それなりに楽しめたようです。スタッフさん達の対応はとても良かったと思いました。軽食のドーナツがマラサダだと良かったなとおもいました。

It was a valuable experience to see the beautiful scenery of Honolulu from the sky! It was also great that it was close to the hotel and within walking distance. Both guides only spoke English, but there were many Japanese people, and the explanations weren't too complicated, so I didn't feel too anxious. I definitely want to recommend this activity!

ホノルルの美しい景色を空から見渡せる貴重な体験でした！
ホテルからも近く歩いて行けたのも良かった。
ガイドさんは２人とも英語しか話せませんが、日本人も多く難しい説明もないのでそんなに不安なこともありません。
是非おすすめしたいアクティビティです！！

Pretty place to go to once maybe twice, tide was up. So you basically are floating or walking on ocean floor

It was high tide, so we couldn't see the beautiful sandbar, but we were able to enjoy the stunning sea! On the boat, they sang songs and served donuts and drinks, so we never got bored. For activities other than kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, we could swim without life jackets.

満潮の時だったので綺麗なサンドバーは見れませんでしたが、十分に綺麗な海を見ることができました！
船の中では歌を歌ってくれたりドーナツやドリンクもサービスされ、退屈することなく過ごせました。
カヤックやSUP以外のアクティビティであればライフジャケットはなしで泳ぐことができました。

I thought a relaxing tour at Kualoa Ranch would be nice, so I chose this option. You can experience the magnificent nature of Hawaii. Next, I think an ATV tour would be good as well.

クアロア・ランチのツアーの中でのんびりツアーも良いかなと思い、これを選択。ハワイの壮大な自然を感じる事が出来ます。次はバギーも良いかと思っております。

It was exciting last time, so I participated for the second time this time. There wasn't a dive into the sea last time, but this time it included a dive, which was a great bonus. Even seniors can enjoy it fully. The crew was great at getting everyone excited, and the atmosphere on the boat was fantastic!! I'm looking forward to the next time.

前回もエキサイティングだったので今回2度目の参加でした。前回は海へのダイブは無かったのですが、今回はダイブ込みで大サービスでした。シニア世代でも十分に楽しめます。クルーの盛り上げも上手でボート内は大盛り上がり！！次回も楽しみです。

For the Kailua Beach tour, I was advised to go to Lanikai first, and I followed that suggestion. It's about a 2-mile walk from the shop to Lanikai. Walking in the blazing sun with kids was tough. I planned to go to Lanikai in the morning and Kailua in the afternoon, but I barely managed to return from Lanikai and grab lunch.

However, Lanikai's beach was as beautiful as I saw on TV. The natural beach, different from Waikiki, was amazing. Next time, I want to try sea kayaking with my kids.

I will definitely go again!

カイルアビーチのツアーですが、ラニカイに先に行くことを勧められ、その通りに。ショップからラニカイまで片道2マイル位。炎天下を歩くのは、こどもを連れて歩くのは厳しかったです。午前ラニカイ→午後カイルアと予定しましたが、ラニカイから戻ってランチを貰うことで精いっぱい。
でも、ラニカイはテレビで見た通りに砂浜が綺麗。ワイキキとは違う天然ビーチは最高でした。今度は子供と一緒にシーカヤックにも挑戦したい、です。

また行きます‼

I used this for my honeymoon. Experiencing parasailing and the bumper tube made for unforgettable memories. While it was certainly fun, I would like to point out a few negatives:

- The video purchase was too expensive (I believe it was about $90 for two videos).
- The waiting time was too long (we waited a total of 2-3 hours on the boat. It would be good to have something to wear to keep warm).

Additionally, although it's unavoidable, there were people with snacks and transportation included, which varied depending on the booking source. If you're going to do the bumper tube, it's a good idea to bring your own goggles.

新婚旅行で利用しました。パラセイリングとバンパーチューブを体験し思い出に残るものとなりました。
楽しかったことはもちろんですがあえてマイナス点を以下あげます。
・動画購入が高すぎる(確か2本で90ドルほどしました)
・待機時間が長すぎる(船の上で合計2-3時間待機しました。冷えないように羽織るものがあると良いです)
また、仕方の無いことですが、軽食や送迎付きの人もいて予約元によってバラバラでした。
バンパーチューブをする方は、ゴーグルを持参すると良いです。

During our stay, we requested two lessons. My 8-year-old son discovered the joy of surfing during the first lesson. Right after the first lesson ended, we made a reservation for the next day. Since Matt, the instructor, was so kind, we arranged for the second lesson with him as well! I was amazed that he was already standing on the board during the first lesson, but he improved even more during the second lesson, so I’m grateful that we decided to do it.

For the second lesson, we were at a location a bit farther away, so we couldn't take photos from the beach, but the photographer took some wonderful pictures for us. My son is already saying, "Next time we go to Hawaii, I want to surf every day!" Waikiki BeachBoys is a school where not only the coaches but all the staff are warm and welcoming, and I definitely want to request lessons again! Thank you very much.

滞在中に 2回レッスンをお願いしました。
1回目のレッスンですっかりサーフィンの楽しさを知った8歳の息子。
1回目のレッスンが終わったその場で、翌日の予約をお願いしました。
マット先生が優しく教えてくれたので、 2回目も同じマット先生で調整していただきました！
1回目さえ、もうボードに立ってる！と驚きましたが、1回目より 2回目の方が更に上達していたので、お願いする価値があったなぁと感謝しています。
2回目は、少し離れた場所でレッスンをしてもらったので、ビーチからは写真が撮れなかったのですが、カメラマンがしっかりと素敵な写真を撮ってきてくれます。
「次にハワイに行く時は、毎日サーフィンをしたい！」と今から息子は言っています。
Waikiki BeachBoysさんは、コーチだけでなく、スタッフの皆さんが温かくて、是非またレッスンをお願いしたいなと思うスクールです！
ありがとうございました。

Since we were staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, we arrived at the check-in hut in about a 5-minute walk from the hotel. The woman at the reception gave us some mineral water.

Our reservation was for 1 PM, but it ended up being just the two of us. The two male staff members were very kind and spoke in clear English that was easy for us to understand, allowing us to take off smoothly. The view from the sky of Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head, and even the airport in the distance was breathtaking and exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend that anyone who hasn't tried parasailing on their trip to Hawaii definitely participate.

ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジに宿泊していたので、ホテルから歩いて5分程度で受付小屋に到着。受付の女性からミネラルウォーターをいただきました。
１３時の予約でしたが、私たち夫婦２名のみでの出発になりました。男性２名の方が親切でまた英語が苦手な私たちにも分かりやすい英語で話しかけてくれて、スムーズに飛び立つこともできました。空からのワイキキビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッド、遠くは空港まで見渡すことができ、想像以上の景色に感動。ハワイ旅行でパラセイリング未体験の方は是非参加されることをお勧めします。

It was said to be a location tour, but I was very satisfied with just the magnificent mountain ranges and the cruise. The guide spoke English, and there were no issues at all.

ロケ地めぐりとのことでしたが、大自然の山並み、クルーズだけでも大変満足できました。
英悟でのガイドでしたが全く問題ありませんでした。

The view of Waikiki from the sky was amazing. I was worried because I have a fear of heights, but it was stable in the air and I wasn't scared at all. I was captivated by the beautiful scenery, and the time flew by. Also, if you're prone to seasickness, be prepared. The woman in the couple riding with us looked very uncomfortable.

空からみるワイキキの景色は最高でした。
高所恐怖症なので心配していましたが、空中では安定しており全く怖くありませんでした。美しい風景に見とれていて、あっという間の時間でした。
あと、船に弱い方は覚悟してください。同乗していたカップルの女性はとても辛そうでした。

Timely pick-up and drop-off
Clean car
Beautiful sea
Polite guidance
No worries in Japan!
It's great
I want to participate again
Thank you very much
I was very satisfied to see the sea turtles

時間どうりの送迎
清潔な車
綺麗な海
丁寧な指導
日本には不安無し！
いいですよ
また参加したいです
ありがとうございました
ウミガメにも会えたい大満足です

We had so much fun. It was an awesome adventure . Their set up was so seamless. Boat crew was very knowledgeable and professional

We had a wonderfully delightful time, and would highly recommend this event.
