All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

Secret Island is a very special place for our family. my daughter got a wedding in Moli'i garden and secret island during Covid.
we have a wonderful memory of her wedding with our closed family and friends only under 20 people.
it was a magical experience,so we had been always talking how we can go back to the island.
and we finally planned a family trip to Hawaii this spring, and we have been searched many different websites which offers a tour to the secret island.

this website did not have many reviews compared to other major travel websites, but their prices were the best so we decided to give it a shot.

and the decision was the best!
the reservation process, confirmation, instructions and everything was GREAT!
it was a little bit of cold and rainy day so we were the only group going to the island that day. we basically rented the entire island to ourselves.

we highly recommend this webstie for Kualoa ranch tour!

The Japanese guide provided a thorough explanation, which made me feel at ease throughout the experience. I was also satisfied with the many photos taken. It seems that the snorkeling route changes depending on the tides, so those planning to go in the future might want to research it in advance.

日本語ガイドさんが丁寧に説明してくださったので終始安心でした。写真もたくさんとってくださって満足しました。潮の満ち引きによってシュノーケルのルートが変わるそうなので、これから行く方は事前に調べておくのもいいかもしれません。

Unbelievable view of the island from where we were. Amazing experience to say the least.

We enjoyed our half-day experience. As tourists, the Secret Island experience was nice because it satisfied my desire to do kayaking and paddle boarding. The beach was nice for young kids because they had supplies to build sand-castles, however that is the most of what my young children really enjoyed. In retrospect, most of the activities there would be best for older children and teenagers to really enjoy. For families with younger children, it may be best to buy some sand toys and head to a local beach.

From the moment we boarded the boat, we were provided a delicious lunch and greeted with the friendly staff and hilarious emcee.

The live Hawaiian music created an ambience of enchantment. The live performances were sensational, perfectly capturing the spirit of the islands.

The variety of water activities was truly impressive. Snorkeling provided us a stunning glimpse into the vibrant marine life, while the sandbar volleyball turned out to be an unexpected delight. I was personally taken with standup paddle boarding (SUP) and kayaking - both were exhilarating experiences that offered different perspectives of the water.

Not to forget the floating lounge platform! It was the perfect place to unwind, enjoy our drinks and snacks, and simply soak in the beauty of the surroundings. Everything was wonderfully organized and the boat was equipped with all the necessary amenities.

In short, this activity was more than just a day out on the water; it was a vibrant blend of culture, excitement, and relaxation. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable Hawaiian adventure. Five stars are simply not enough!

The long-awaited parasailing was enjoyable, and the journey to the point was fun as well. I also felt that the airtime was longer than expected. However, while they took photos for us, the quality felt a bit rushed considering the high price for the photo service. Additionally, there was a strong push for tips, which was a bit off-putting.

念願のパラセーリングは、ポイントにつくまでの道のりも楽しかったですし、対空時間も思いのほか長かったと思います。ただ、写真撮影もしてもらいましたが、写真撮影代が高かった割に全体的にやっつけ感は否めず、、、チップアピールはしっかりされたので、ちょっと引いてしまいました。

We participated as a couple. The transportation, local guide, and snorkeling instructions were all provided in careful Japanese, which was very helpful. It was difficult to get there since you can't take the trolley from Waikiki, and the bus requires transfers, so I was quite anxious about it, but this tour with a guide completely alleviated those concerns. The drive included information about Hawaii, and upon arrival, the guide was always ahead of us to provide guidance. Both of us were very satisfied. Thank you very much.

夫婦で参加しました。送迎から現地ガイド、シュノーケリングのご指導やポイントなど、丁寧に日本語で教えて下さり、助かりました。
ワイキキからトロリーでは行けないし、バスは乗り換えが必要だし、とにかく行きにくいし不安でしたが、ガイドさん付のこのツアーで完全にその不安は解消しました。
道中もハワイ情報交えながらのドライブ感覚、到着後も常に先回りしてもらって案内。夫婦とも大変満足しました。ありがとうございました。

The staff was awesome! We had a wonderful time at the sandbar. Highly recommended! I would suggest booking the morning excursion. Worked for us wonderfully! The bad was so fun. Played all the songs requested.

I had a blast was saying goodbye to a friend and couldn't have asked for better service or a view. Everyone was nice and respectful and the games where a bonus!

We had a great time other than the water being freezing we had a blast! Absolutely amazing service and all around a great time and company. Professional and on time!

My boyfriend and I are locals and haven’t been to the sandbar in years. This tour was everything we were hoping for and more! The staff was super friendly, engaging, and really went out of their way to ensure everyone had a good time. The boat is pretty spacious so there’s plenty of shade when you need a break from the sun. Plus you can’t go wrong with live music! Not sure if any other tours offer that! We will definitely be booking again :).

At first, I felt scared, but the view of Hawaii from above was amazing. People of a certain age can try it safely. I recommend it.

はじめは怖く感じましたが、空の上から見るハワイの景色は最高でした。ある程度の年齢でも安心にトライできますよ。おすすめします。

we had a lovely time kayaking to the coral reef and snorkeling around. the people that worked there were super kind and helpful and showed us exactly where to go and what to do with detailed instructions. thanks for having us!

We went quite far out on the boat and took off from it! The boat swayed quite a bit due to the waves, but from below, the height of 120 meters surprisingly felt high, and it was more terrifying than just feeling seasick. (laughs) Once in the air, I was healed by the beautiful scenery of the mountains and the sea. They took photos from the boat, which I purchased later for $40. It was over in no time, but it turned out to be a fun experience.

ボートで結構沖まで進み船の上から飛び立ちました！波でボートは結構揺れましたが、120mの高さは下から見ていると案外高く、恐怖で船酔いどころではなかったです。笑
飛んでみると山と海の綺麗な景色に癒されました。船から写真を撮影してくださり、後から購入しました。(40ドル)あっという間でしたが、楽しい経験になりました。

Our family of 5 had a great experience and the crew was so much fun. Captain was awesome. Just wish the sun would have peeked out. Will definitely visit again.

I went snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding at a sandbar that I had always wanted to visit! First, I was picked up by a van from a nearby hotel for an extra fee, and it took about 30 minutes to reach the port. (There were about 15 people on board, and since I was the last to get on, that was about the time it took.)

When we arrived at the port, there were restrooms available, so I took care of that and signed some documents while receiving explanations. There were also restrooms on the boat, with two for women and one for men. There was one Japanese woman and a man who spoke Japanese (with a Kansai dialect) on board.

Once on the boat, two men played guitar and ukulele to liven up the atmosphere! (When we returned to the boat during a break, they played music through the speakers, and I requested a song, which they played.)

I tried stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, but because it was windy, it felt more like I was being swept away than paddling! However, when the wind died down, I was able to move forward, and it was fun! I had to paddle hard to stay behind the red buoy, but I wasn't making much progress, and seeing that, the man who spoke Japanese (with a Kansai dialect) helped pull me along.

When we got close to the coral reef for snorkeling, the staff handed out what looked like French bread, and when I tore it apart in the water, a lot of fish came out to see it! There were also small, beautiful fish near the coral, but when I went to a spot near the boat that was about waist-high, I was able to see many large fish, almost a meter long! When I asked the staff, they said it was a white fish and that it would be delicious to eat.

Unfortunately, I didn't see any sea turtles, but I’ll look forward to that next time. I participated in early May, and when I got out of the water, it was a bit chilly. I regretted not bringing a change of clothes, just a bath towel, so it would have been nice to have something easy to put on, like a dress. The weather was good, and overall, it was a great tour!

いつか行ってみたいなと思っていたサンドバーでシュノーケリングとSUPをしてきました！
まず、別料金ですが近くのホテルまでバンで迎えに来てもらい港まで30分ぐらいで着きました！
(15人ぐらい乗っていたかな？1番最後に乗ったのでそれぐらいの時間でした)
港に着くと、トイレがあるので済ませておき、書類にサインなどして説明を受けました。
トイレは船の中にもあり、女性用2つ男性用1つありました。
日本人の女性が1人と日本語を喋れる男性(関西弁笑)が1人いました。
船に乗ると、男性2人がギターとウクレレで演奏して盛り上げてました！
(休憩で船に戻った時に、スピーカーで音楽をかけられていたので曲をリクエストしたらかけてくれました)
初めてSUPに挑戦しましたが、風が吹いていた為漕ぐよりも流されるに近いかんじでした笑
ただ、風が止むとしっかり進むので楽しかったです！
赤い浮きより先に行ってはいけなかったので、頑張って漕いでましたがなかなか進まず、それを見かねた日本語を喋れる男性(関西弁)が引っ張って助けてくれました笑
シュノーケリングは珊瑚礁の近くに行くと、スタッフの方がフランスパン？を渡してくれて、それを海の中でちぎると魚達が出てきてたくさん見る事が出来ました！
あと珊瑚礁の方には小さいキレイな魚がいましたが、船の近くの方の腰より高いぐらいの所に行き餌をやっていると1m弱ぐらいのとても大きい魚もたくさん見る事が出来ました！
スタッフの方に聞くと、白身の魚で食べたら美味しいそうです笑
残念ながらウミガメは見ることが出来なかったですが、また次回の楽しみにしておきます
5月上旬に参加しましたが、海からあがると肌寒く、着替えは持って来ずにバスタオルのみだったのでワンピースなど簡単に着れる着替えがあったらよかったと後悔しました。
天気も良くて全体的に良いツアーでした！

We participated in our first snorkeling experience as a couple. The tour started at 12 PM with 9 participants and 2 instructors (Chieko and Dan). The weather was clear and sunny. We were able to swim for a full hour in deep water due to high tide. They also took photos underwater, which created great memories.

My wife was worried because she is not a strong swimmer, but Chieko held her hand while she got used to it and always made sure to check on her when they separated. Towards the end, when my wife wanted to return early due to fatigue, Chieko guided her back to the shore properly.

I actually started to feel seasick midway through, but for those who are not used to it or feel anxious, it seems advisable to take motion sickness medication as mentioned in the items to bring.

Our first snorkeling experience was very enjoyable and felt like a new world. Both instructors were very kind, and we were extremely satisfied with the tour. Thank you!

初めてのシュノーケリングを夫婦で参加しました。
12時スタートのツアーで参加者は9人、インストラクターは2名（チエコさん、ダンさん）でした。天気は快晴。満潮で深いところまで行けて1時間たっぷり泳ぐことができました。水中では撮影もしていただけていい思い出が残りました。
妻は水泳が得意ではなく心配していましたが、慣れないうちはチエコさんがずっと手を取って泳いでくださり、離れる時にも必ず声をかけてくださいました。終盤に体力が持たず先に戻りたい旨を伝えると、また手を取って浜辺まできちんと誘導してくださいました。
実は私は中盤から波酔いをしてしまったのですが、慣れない方や不安な方は持ち物の中にも書いてあるように事前に酔い止め薬をのむと良さそうです。
初めてのシュノーケリングはとても楽しく新世界でした。インタストラクターのお二方もとても親切で、とても満足なツアーでした。ありがとうございました！

Did the morning trip. Entertainment was great. Beautiful spot. Activities were good. Would recommend this activity

I have a tendency to get motion sickness, so I took anti-nausea medication in advance, but I still got sick. However, the scenery was breathtaking, and I had a wonderful experience! During the parasailing, I felt no fear at all and was able to take pictures of the view with my iPhone.

酔いやすい体質なので酔い止め薬を事前に飲みましたが酔ってしまいました。
ですが、景色は絶景で貴重な体験が出来て楽しかったです！
パラセイリング中は怖さは一切なくiPhoneで景色も撮影する事ができました。

Four groups ride the same boat out to the ocean and take turns jumping in, but the waiting time is also filled with fun moments with people from various countries. Moreover, the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean is breathtaking! The time spent flying went by in an instant, but the stable flight in the air and the playful spirit when coming down are full of enjoyment.

4組が同じボートに乗って沖まで行き順番に飛んでいくのですが、待っている時間も色々な国の方達と楽しい時間。更に沖から見渡すワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッドは絶景！
飛んでいる時間はあっという間でしたが、上空では安定したフライトと降りてくる時の遊び心は楽しみ満載です。

Great view, great people, great music, great activities. 10/10 would recommend again! It was a bit rainy at the beginning so be prepared, but otherwise my family had a wonderful time at the sand bar.

Both ikaika and James were fantastic! Excellent tour guides and a fun experience overall. We saw turtles, eels and even a mantaray up close. Highly recommend!

After the COVID restrictions were lifted, I finally got to visit Hanauma Bay. However, since the days for entering Hanauma Bay are still limited, making a reservation individually can be quite challenging. Fortunately, there are tours that offer entry reservations for Hanauma Bay, along with transportation, which is reassuring. The guide was very kind, and there were no particular issues from preparation to snorkeling to cleanup. During snorkeling, they took us to the appropriate snorkeling points by observing the tides. While snorkeling, they kept an eye on us to ensure we didn't get separated, and they provided support when we fell behind our group. I believe this is a tour that even beginners can participate in with confidence.

コロナ規制があけて、やっとハナウマ湾にいけました。
でも、まだハナウマ湾に入れる曜日が限定されているため、個人で入場予約をするのはかなり大変です。
しかし、なかなかとれないハナウマ湾の入場予約もツアーが実施してくれて、かつ、送迎もしてくれるので安心です。
ガイドの方は、とても親切で、準備～シュノーケル～片付けまで特に困ることはありませんでした。
シュノーケルの際は、潮の満ち引きを見て、適切なシュノーケルポイントに連れて行ってくれます。
シュノーケルの最中は、はぐれないように、見ていてくれて、仲間から遅れた時には、サポートしてくれました。
シュノーケル初心者でも安心して参加できるツアーだとと思います。

We enjoyed the sandbar it was magical the service was great and friendly the timeng was perfect.

This was the best afternoon ever@ Everyone on the crew was just out of this world wonderful ❤️ The music was killer!!! Such beautiful voices! Lunch was great! Kayaking was calm and just a really nice afternoon on water.Snorkeling was also cool! Seen alot of really neat fish and a couple large ones in the mix! If I could do this everyday,I'd sign up forever! Aloha ,Mahalo

Although it was disappointing that we didn't catch any fish, the captain was quick to assist when we had trouble handling the fishing gear. We moved to three different spots, and we only had about an hour and a half of fishing time. The captain cooked the fish caught by others on board and served it as fried fish for us to enjoy while returning to the harbor. There was a large shark swimming near the boat, and we were able to see it up close, along with the sight of sea turtles swimming. The scenery was fantastic, making it a great experience for cruising and sightseeing.

釣りは何も釣れずに残念でしたが、釣り具の扱いに困った時には船長さんがすぐフォローしてくれました。
3ヶ所ポイント移動して、釣りの時間は1時間半程度しかありませんでした。
他の方が釣れた魚を船長が船上で調理してフライドフィッシュとして釣り場から帰港するまでの間に食べさせてくれました。
船の近くで大きな鮫がウロウロしており、間近に見れて、海亀の泳ぐ姿が見られたり、景色も最高でクルージングや観光としては十分楽しめました。

Enjoyed the sandbar, the music, the crew, the ambiance, everything except the snorkeling - tide too low - did not need the mask (which was leaking anyway) to see the fishes. Loved everything else.

I was very excited for this event and it actually far exceeded my expectations. The ride to the sand bar was pretty quick however I wish it was longer because they had an amaaaazing live band. Kaawa Entertainment. I could listen to them forever. Unfortunately, we reached our destination, and I could no longer listen to them. However, playing in the sandbar was soooo much fun. I thoroughly enjoyed the kayaking and paddle boarding. They also had snorkeling which I didn't enjoy as much. But my wife really loved the snorkeling. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. My wife and I both had trouble steering the paddle board initially and we were out of bounds. But the staff was very nice about it and helped us back in bounds. The sandbar is so amazing where you're in the middle of the ocean yet you are walking on sand. There were no waves so it was pretty easy to maneuver around. I could've stayed there for hours longer but the event was over. 10 stars out of 5. If you go please tip the staff and entertainment a looot. They really made the experience sooo much more fun. Highlight of our 8 day trip to Hawaii.

The pickup from the hotel and the option to choose activities at Kailua Beach were great. Instead of going into town, the kids chose to rent beach items. We got a large float, but it wasn't very useful in the actual sea. The ocean was beautiful, and we were taken back to town, so overall it was good, but the tour felt a bit pricey. It would have been even better if there was a shuttle service from Kailua Beach to Lanikai Beach.

ホテルでピックアップしていただき、カイルアビーチでのオプションを選ぶという内容。子供は街に行くのでは無く、ビーチアイテムレンタルを選択。大きな浮き輪だったのですが、実際の海ではあまり使えるものではなかったです。
海が綺麗だったのと、街まで送っていただけたたので、結果良かったのですが、ツアーの企画としては、少し高い印象。
カイルアビーチからラニカイビーチまでの送迎ありとかにしていただけたら。もっと良かったかもです。

Mr. Dan and Ms. Chieko were very kind and attentive, making it easy to participate with peace of mind. I was able to see many different types of fish in the beautiful sea, which was very soothing.

ダンさん、チエコさんのお二人がとても親切丁寧で安心して参加することができました。美しい海でたくさんの種類の魚を見ることができ癒やされました。
