All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I was afraid of heights, but it wasn't scary at all. It was a really fun time. The weather was great, and I was able to enjoy the view of Waikiki from up high. I definitely want to do it again!

高い所が苦手でしたが、全然怖くなかったです。
とっても楽しい時間でした。
天気も良くて高い所からワイキキを眺めることができてぜひともまたやってみたいです〜

I participated with my wife.

It was a one-hour tour on a small boat. My wife is prone to motion sickness, but this time she didn't feel sick, possibly because the waves weren't high. Since the boat is small and there is some rocking, those who are prone to motion sickness should not forget to take motion sickness medication.

The others on board were at an altitude of 120 meters, while we were at 150 meters, but we didn't feel much of a difference, and there was no difference in the operation either, so the 120-meter option might have been more cost-effective.

There wasn't much fear at high altitude, and I think you can enjoy the scenery slowly! On a clear day, we could see the entire city of Honolulu, and it felt great.

Overall, it was a satisfying tour, but at the end, we were asked for a tip, which was a bit disappointing. I was naturally prepared to give one, so I wanted to do it pleasantly. Well, this might be something that Japanese people often forget to do. I understand that, but because of that, I gave it a four-star rating.

妻と二人で参加しました。

小型のボートで１時間ほどのツアーでした。妻は酔いやすいですが、今回は波が高くなかったのか、酔わず。ボートは小さいのと、揺られる時間もあるので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めをお忘れなく。

同乗した方々は高度120メートル、私たちは高度150メートルでしたが、体感では違いを感じず、また運営でも差がなかったので、高度120メートルの方がコスパが良かったかもしれません。

上空での怖さはあまりなく、ゆっくり景色を楽しめると思います！晴れた日でホノルルの市街地全体が見渡せて、気持ちよかったです。

総じて満足のいくツアーでしたが、最後にチップをせびられ、萎えました。当然に渡そうと準備してたので、気持ちよく渡したかった。。まぁこればかりは日本人は渡しそびれが多いのでしょうね。仕方ない気もしますが、その分四つ星評価といたしました。

I couldn't make a reservation on my own, so I asked Beltora, which I'm familiar with. The result was absolutely correct. The transportation, luggage, and procedures were stress-free. And above all, the precise and safe instruction during the transfers and at sea was truly appreciated. Thank you, Chieko and Dan!

個人での予約が出来ず慣れ親しんだベルトラさんに依頼　結果　大正解　移動　荷物　手続き等のストレスフリー　そして何より移動中、また海での的確　安全　なインストラクティング　いゃ〜ありがたかったです
千恵子さん　ダンさん　ありがとうございました

You will be picked up near the hotel and take a drive of about 30 minutes to the port.

Upon arrival at the port, you will transfer to a large boat that can accommodate around 60 people and head towards the sandbar. On the boat, donuts and drinks will be served, and there will be live Hawaiian music.

Once you arrive at the sandbar, you can do whatever you like, such as stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), kayaking, or snorkeling. Please note that there are limited SUP and kayak options, so you may have to wait your turn.

Afterward, you will return to the port by boat, then take a bus back to the location where you were picked up.

Since the bus seats are fabric, it's a good idea to bring a towel to sit on.

ホテルの近くでピックアップしてもらい、車で３０分程度ぼドライブして港にむかいます。

港に到着したら６０人位が乗り込める大型の船に移動して、船でサンドバーにむかいます。船の上ではドーナツや飲み物が配られ、ハワイアンミュージックの生演奏もあります。

サンドバーに到着したらSUPやカヤック、シュノーケリングなど各自やりたいことをやります。SUPとカヤックは数に限りがあるので、順番待ちになることもあります。

終わったらまた船で港に戻り、バスに乗り込みピックアップされた場所で降ろされます。

バスのシートは布製なので、座るところに敷く用のタオルを持っていくと良いです。

First, I took the city bus "The Bus" in Hawaii to the meeting point, but I was about 3 minutes late due to a bus delay. I knew I would be late when I got on the bus, so I contacted them via email. When I arrived, the staff kindly greeted me in Japanese, saying, "That must have been tough, but it's okay!"

Participants who had the same schedule had already gone out to the jet ski area by boat, and I waited at the reception for about 15 minutes. I was able to board a boat that was taking other activity participants to the jet ski area. The boat staff also spoke casually in Japanese.

Once I arrived at the jet ski area, the staff continued to speak kindly in Japanese, joking with me and making me feel that they were considerate about my tardiness, saying, "Don't worry about being late!" They explained how to ride the jet ski and the etiquette in Japanese, so I had no trouble understanding.

The actual jet ski experience was exhilarating, racing across the sea. Although the speedometer showed around 30 kilometers per hour, it felt much faster. The refreshing sensation of speeding under the sun, with ocean spray splashing around, was fantastic. The activity involved repeatedly circling four buoys in a clockwise direction, and it was a great way to enjoy jet skiing. The waves were high that day, causing the jet ski to sway and making it necessary to get used to handling it (I think you could get accustomed to it after 2-3 laps, but it depends on the environment and the person). I rode tandem with my wife, who found it scary after just two laps of driving, so I took over for the rest. While jumping over waves was fun, doing it repeatedly could throw off your balance, which might be a bit scary.

There were about six jet skis participating in the same circuit, maintaining a distance of 20-30 meters apart, with overtaking allowed from the outside. The unique waves created by the jet skis made it difficult to drive if the person in front was too close. When I was driving, a young man in front of me was swerving on purpose, creating irregular waves that made it very hard to steer. I wished he would have followed the etiquette...

By the way, during the ride, a GoPro was mounted on the boat's steering area to take photos and videos. After the tour, when we returned to the reception facility, they showed us the photos, but purchasing them cost over $50.

Overall, it was an unforgettable experience as a marine sport, and the staff were all very kind and attentive, which left a positive impression.

*The goggles they recommend purchasing before riding (for $10) seemed almost unnecessary.*

まず、当日にハワイの市バスの「ザ•バス」での移動で集合場所に向かったが、バス遅延で集合時間に3分ほど遅刻...。バスに乗る時点で遅れることがわかっていたのでメールにて連絡しておいたところ、到着したらすぐに「大変だったね、大丈夫だからね！」と受付の方が日本語で優しく接してくれた。
すでにジェットスキー乗り場のある沖合に、同じ時間の参加者は船で出ており、15分ほど受付で待機。同施設の、他アクティビティ参加者を連れて行くボートに一緒に乗せてもらって乗り場まで移動した。ボートスタッフも日本語で気さくに話してくれた。
乗り場についてからも、日本語で話してくれるスタッフが優しく、冗談なども交えて話しかけてくれ、遅刻したことを「気にしないで！」と配慮してくれていたようにも感じた。ジェットスキーの乗り方、マナーなども日本語でわかるように教えてもらい、何も困らなかった。
実際のジェットスキー体験は海の上を大激走、メーターでは時速30キロ前後ではあったもののかなり体感速度が速く感じた。太陽の下、海洋の上、吹き上がる水飛沫を受けながら走り抜ける爽快感は見事だった。設置された4つのウキを時計回りに周回するのを繰り返すというものだが、ジェットスキーを手軽に楽しめるという点では申し分ない。当日は波が高く、ジェットスキーが大きく揺られたりハンドルをとられたりすることもあり、運転には少し慣れが必要と感じた(2〜3週すれば慣れると思うが、環境や人による)。自分は妻とタンデムで乗ったが、妻は2週だけ運転して怖かったとのことで、残りはずっと自分が運転した。波を越えるのは楽しいが、何度も連続していると体勢を崩してじい、少し怖いかも。
同時に周回するジェットスキー(参加者)は6台ほどで、基本は20〜30m空けて走行、外側からなら追い越し有り。ジェットスキーの走った後は独特な波が生まれるため、前の人が近いと自然に波に揺られることになる。自分が運転した時は、前にいた青年がわざと蛇行運転をし、波が不規則に立ってしまってとても運転しづらかった。マナーは守ってほしかった...。
ちなみに運転中、GoProをボートのハンドル部分中心につけ、写真や動画を撮ってくれる。ツアーが終わって受付の施設に戻ると写真等を見せてくれるが、購入するには50ドル以上のお金がかかった。
全体としては十分に楽しめるマリンスポーツとして最高の思い出となった。とにかくスタッフがみんな優しく丁寧で好感を持てる。
※乗る前に勧められるゴーグル購入(10ドル)は、ほぼ必要ないと思われる。

I went alone.
It was my first time riding the waves, and I was very moved.
When a good wave came, I was pushed from behind, and it felt like I was standing up while riding the wave. Even someone as clumsy as me was able to stand. I fell many times, but it was really fun.
Some people might not try surfing.
I had a great time being taught by very cheerful and friendly people.

一人で行きました。
はじめて波に乗って、とても感動しました。
いい波が来ると後ろから押してもらって、波に乗ってる途中で立つという感じです。どんくさい私でも立てました。何回も落ちたけど、とても楽しかったです。
人によっては、波乗りまではしないのかもしれません。
とても陽気でフレンドリーな方に教えてもらえて、楽しかったです。

It was a bit far, but I was able to walk from Waikiki along the sandy beach. I thought it would be scarier, but it was very pleasant! However, the boat sways quite a bit, so it might be tough for those who get motion sickness. You also need to be careful about meals before and after.

The ticket booth was a bit hard to find, but a kind person nearby helped me out.

I don't understand English, but it was totally fine! My mother, who is in her 60s, was also very happy.

少し遠かったですが、砂浜沿いにワイキキから歩いていけました
もっと怖いかと思っていたのですが、とても気持ちよかったです！
ただ、船がかなり揺れるので乗り物酔いのある人にはきついかもしれません。前後の食事にも注意が必要です。
チケットブースが少し分かりづらかったのですが、近隣の親切な人が教えてくださいました。

英語はわかりませんが、全然大丈夫でした！
60代の母もとても喜んでいました。

Had a fantastic time on this tour! Our guide was great - fun and knowledgeable - and made the whole experience worth it! The ocean, river and all around area where we kayaked were beautiful - and the icing on the cake was the abundance of turtles! One of our favourite activities and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone - and wouldn't hesitate to do it again if I was ever lucky enough to return to Oahu!

There were just the two of us Japanese people, and while drinking Mai Tai for $5, we enjoyed a pleasant time on a cruise with the refreshing sea breeze that passed by in no time.

日本人は我々2人でした、マイタイ5ドルを飲みながら海風が気持ち良くてあっという間のクルーズで楽しい時間を過ごせました。

All the activities were so fun. The LIVE music was GREAT! Had soooo much fun. Definitely recommended!!!!!! Staff was super friendly.

It was absolutely amazing. I chose the 150m option, and it was the right decision. There were no Japanese people in the same group, but someone from Mexico talked to me, and we exchanged our smartphones to take pictures and videos of each other. I was also able to buy photos taken by the photographer for $40. There are so many pictures and videos from various angles, and just looking back at them is enjoyable.

とにかく最高でした。150mの方にしましたが、正解でした。
同じグループに日本人の方はいませんでしたが、メキシコ？の方が話しかけてくださり、互いのスマホを預けて写真や動画を撮り合いました。
40ドルでカメラマンが撮った写真も買うことができました。様々な角度の写真や動画がたくさんで見返してるだけでも楽しいです。

Thank you, Emi and Natsue, for your help this time. I was so happy to see the emerald green sea of Lanikai, which I had only seen in posters and videos, with my own eyes. I appreciate your willingness to help when I was in trouble. Thank you very much.

えみさん、なつえさん、今回はお世話になりました。
ポスターや映像だけでしか見たことがなかったラニカイのエメラルドグリーンの海を実際に自分の目で見ることができて幸せでした。
困った時には快く助けてくださり感謝です。
本当にありがとうございました。

The crew was wonderful! The musicians were amazing! If you don't have time to try different water activities on your trip, this is a great way to hit a lot of them. We were able to SUP, kayak, swim, lounge, and snorkel (the sandbar reef actually had quite a few different types of fish to see and since it is so shallow, it is a lot easier to snorkel here). They provide life jackets for all the activities and snorkel gear. We also did the banana boat and bumper activities and it was quite the adrenaline rush. For banana boat, they grouped us with two other pairs of people so we filled up the banana boat (holds 6 people), which made it more stable but half of us still fell off. It was very fun and quite an experience. There is definitely enough time to try everything. Their boat is pretty big so very stable and not likely to induce seasickness. They have two women's bathrooms, one men's, and one changing room. They provide donuts and water/juice but you can also bring your own food/drinks. There are plenty of tables and shelf storage underneath so your items aren't on the floor and won't get wet. Overall, a great time!

What an exciting adventure for our first-time parasailors! Our 8 & 5 year old granddaughters had the time of their lives parasailing with their Grammy! They loved seeing a green sea turtle as well as all the wonderful scenery of Oahu! The crew was kind and humorous. We had a wonderful experience!

Everything was great, staff was friendly. We went first thing in the morning so we got the boat to our selfs. Definitely not as scary as it seems! And I was SUPER scared at first, but I think I would definitely do it again! Recommend to get the pictures, they came out great!

Really fun experience. Suitable for couples or family or friends. We had lots of fun kayaking and snorkeling

We signed up for the basic course for two people and enjoyed kayaking and snorkeling. After kayaking, we went snorkeling, but since I'm not comfortable in deep water, I thought it would have been better to borrow a life jacket. It was also fun to travel by bike to the snorkeling spot. Since it was a self-guided course without a guide, I felt a bit anxious, but I was grateful that Natsue, a Japanese staff member, kindly assisted us, so we were able to enjoy ourselves without any issues. I hope to participate again next time and challenge myself to kayak a bit further and hopefully encounter a honu (sea turtle).

女2人で基本コースを申し込みカヤック、シュノーケルを楽しみました。
カヤック後にシュノーケルをしましたが深いところが苦手なのでライフジャケットを借りたら尚よかったなと思いました。
シュノーケルは自転車で移動したのも楽しかったです。　
現地集合ガイド無しコースだったので少し不安がありましたが、日本人スタッフのなつえさんが親切に対応してくれたので困る事なく過ごすことができてよかった、感謝です。
次回も参加してカヤックで少し遠くまでチャレンジしホヌにも出会えたいいなと思います。

It was the best experience for my first time. The crew members were fun and really helped to create a lively atmosphere. It became a wonderful memory of Hawaii for both my wife and me. There was also a photo session (for an additional fee), and we are still enjoying it after returning home.

初めての体験で最高でした。
クルーのお兄さん(？)も楽しい方々で、盛り上げて頂きました。家内共々良いハワイの思い出となりました。写真撮影もあり(別料金)、帰宅後も楽しんでます。

It was a very nice tour. It takes us out to the Kaneohe sandbar while providing live music entertainment. After arrival, we could choose to do a variety of activities including snorkelling, paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming or just relaxing at a floating lounge. You will be able to see coral reef and fish there. Staff is there to help and supervise. You can leave your belongings at the boat. The good thing about being in the middle of water is that your belongings are safe. I recommend wearing some kind of footwear on the sandbar because the sand there could be a little rough. Overall a very nice way to spend a morning or afternoon. Time flew by fast.

Loved every moment! All of the crew was so helpful and kind, from the time we got on board and even with the water events (kayaking and paddle boarding). The musicians were top notch, such beautiful voices. Highly recommend and will definitely do this again.

We departed from the hotel (Moana Surfrider) at 7:30 for an 8:30 meeting. If you go from Kalakaua Avenue through the Fort DeRussy Boardwalk, you'll reach the parking lot where you can easily see the parasailing sign. It took us about 40 minutes to walk there at a leisurely pace.

The view from 150 meters was spectacular, offering a panoramic view from Waikiki Beach to Diamond Head! I was able to take videos by putting my smartphone in a waterproof case. There was also a Japanese person on the same boat, so we took pictures of each other, saving the $40 photo fee.

I've visited Hawaii about five times, but this was my first parasailing experience. I recommend it for both first-timers and repeat visitors!

朝8:30集合のため、ホテル（モアナサーフライダー）を7:30に出発しました。カラカウア通りからフォート・デロシー・ボードウォークを通って行くと駐車場に出て、パラセーリングの看板が見えるので分かりやすいと思います。ゆっくり歩いて行けば40分程で着きました。
150mからの景色は絶景で、ワイキキビーチからダイヤモンドベッドまで一望できました！防水ケースにスマホを入れて動画も撮影できました。同じ船に日本人の方がいらっしゃったのでお互い写真を撮りあったので40ドルの撮影代を節約できました
ハワイは5回ほど訪れてますが、初めてのパラセーリングでした初めての方にもリピーターの方にもオススメです

A couple in their 50s tried stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time. The instructor was kind and explained everything clearly, so we were able to move as we wished. My wife stood up right away. Although it seemed the wind was strong and the waves were high, we didn't mind since it was our first time and we didn't know any better. We had a great time. Towards the end, we were allowed to play around like we were surfing, which was really fun.

５０歳の夫婦初めてのSUP。
インストラクターが親切に分かりやすく教えてくれたので、思うように進むことが出来るようになりました。
妻はスグに立ち上がってました。
風が強く波が高かったらしく、少し難しい環境だったらしいのですが、はじめましてなので分からないから関係無し。とても楽しむことができました。
最後の方はサーフィンの要領で遊ばせてくれて楽しかったですよ。

The scenery was better and the height was great compared to when I did it in Okinawa. The instructor was also fun, which was nice.

沖縄でやった時より
景色も良く、高さもあって
最高でした。
インストラクターの方も
楽しい方で良かったです

They were very friendly people, and I had a great time!
The snorkeling in the shallow waters was filled with fish, and I was completely absorbed.
I also received instruction on how to ride the kayak and SUP.

The boat rides back and forth were very nice while listening to music.

とても気さくな人たちで楽しく過ごせました！
浅瀬でのシュノーケリングは魚がいっぱいて、夢中でした。
カヤックやSUPも乗り方から教えていただきました。

船内での行き帰りも歌を聞きながらでとても良かった

This was a great experience, being able to snorkel and see the sandbar! Highly recommend! Everyone is very informative

The crew was amazing and so helpful! KBOS seems to have an area all to themselves, so it felt like we were on a private island. There are opportunities to do a lot of activities with plenty of time so you don’t ever feel rushed.

We had a great time on this trip!
It was very relaxing and fun! The stuff took care of us and made sure we were safe. We snorkeled, saw some fish, we did kayaking and paddle boarding and relaxed on a floating island with chairs. Lunch was also great! Music was so beautiful and fun! And the stuff took awesome photos of us! Thank you!
Would do this again!

It flies higher than I imagined. Before departure, there was a light drizzle, but by the time we took off, the weather was clear. From above, you can see both Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach, which is a spectacular view. The wind was strong, and the aircraft swayed side to side in the air, making me feel a bit nauseous along the way.

Of course, it's advisable for those who are prone to motion sickness to take medication in advance, as there can be turbulence in the air as well.

While flying, there is also a photo service available upon request. They take over 80-100 photos, and for $40, you get the data download and a memory card. Due to an incident where another passenger on the boat got sick while we were flying, we only had 42 photos taken, so we bought them for half price at $20. You can check the photos before deciding to purchase, so I think it's a good idea to request them and buy if you're satisfied.

想像以上に高く飛びます。出発前は霧雨がぱらついていましたが出発時には晴天。上からはダイアモンドヘッドもワイキキビーチも一望できて壮観です。風が強くて上空で左右に揺れるので途中で酔いそうになりました。
船はもちろんですが、上空での揺れにも備えて乗り物酔いに弱い方は事前の酔い止めの服薬をおすすめします。
飛んでいる間は頼めば写真撮影サービスもあります。80-100枚以上撮影してくれてデータダウンロードとメモリーカード付で$40です。
私たちは飛んでいる間に船上の別のお客さんが吐いちゃうというアクシデントのため42枚しか撮影してもらえなかったので半額の$20で売ってもらいました。購入を決断する前に写真の確認をさせてもらえるので一応頼んでおいて納得できたら購入するという形でもいいと思います。

Such an awesome experience with great guides and entertainment.

Even as someone approaching their sixties, I was able to enjoy the bumper tubes and banana boat. The sea was beautiful, and I had a great experience.

還暦近くの私でも、バンパーチューブ、バナナボートは楽しめました。
海もきれいで、いい体験をさせていただきました。
