All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

Really nice fishing trip! Jack and the Capt. (don’t think I got her name) were really great hosts. Jack was excellent! Super helpful with all concerns regarding fishing equipment and hooking a fish. The Capt. was kind and informative. She knows her job and does it well. Despite the choppy seas, she got us to the spots where people caught fish. It was a great time and well recommended.

The Hanauma Bay tour, which resumed in February, had a limited number of participants, so I felt safe joining.

I participated in the afternoon, and the low tide made everything look beautiful. The water is shallow, so it's reassuring even for beginners. They also taught us how to handle situations when water gets into the mask, and we gradually progressed, so I wasn't scared. For those who still find it challenging, the instructor stays with you the whole time.

I was very satisfied to see a variety of colorful fish and turtles. It's also comforting that communication in Japanese is perfectly fine.

2月から再開したハナウマ湾ツアー、人数制限もされていて安心して参加できました。

午後の参加でしたが、引き潮で綺麗にみえました。
浅めなので初めてでも安心です。
水がマスクに入ってしまったときの対処法なども教えてもらいながら徐々に進んでいくので怖くありません。
それでも大変な方はずっと先生についてもらえます。

色とりどりの魚にカメもみられて大変満足でした。
日本語で大丈夫なのも安心です。

The day we experienced was unfortunately rainy, but since it was just a light rain, the event went ahead as planned. Once we started, we had so much fun that we forgot about the rain. However, even though I took motion sickness medication, I struggled with seasickness towards the end, so it's essential for those who need it to take motion sickness medication.

私たちが体験した日はあいにくの雨でしたが、小雨であったため決行されました。
いざスタートすると雨なんて忘れてしまうぐらい楽しかったです。
ただ、酔い止めを飲んでいったのにも関わらず、終盤は船酔いが辛かったので酔い止めを飲む必要のある人は必須です。

My husband and I, with my 21 year old son, had so much fun on our recent trip to Kaneohe Bay Sandbar with Ocean Sports Adventure. The trip started with an easy check-in process. We left the pier at 9:30 and arrived at the sandbar in 15 minutes. During this time, the crew served donuts and drinks while two musicians played live music. They were really good and professional. When we arrived there, we snorkeled first. Lots of reef fish! Then we tried SUP for the first time. Since it was such a windy day, the crew made sure we didn't float away to the areas that we weren't supposed to be. The captain took some of us on his boat and went to a nearby reef where green sea turtles are. We saw 2 of them! I highly recommend this activity to anyone!

Experience SUP right in front of the Royal Hawaiian Beach! They lend you towels and can hold onto small bags, so you can easily join in during your free time. It was my first time on a SUP, but they taught me the basic movements and off I went into the ocean! Even when I fell, the water was surprisingly shallow, so I felt safe.

When I stood up, I had the best view of Diamond Head to my left while looking down at the waters of Waikiki! The tourists swimming around also offered encouragement and help, and the staff who took photos gave me advice, making it an hour that flew by.

ロイヤルハワイアンの目の前のビーチでSUP体験！タオルも貸してくれて小さい荷物も預かっていただけるので、空いている時間に気軽に参加出来ます。SUPは初めてでしたが、基本的な動きを教えてもらっていざ海へ！落ちても意外と浅くて足が付くレベルだったので安心でした。
立てた時は左にダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めながらワイキキの海を見下ろすという最高なシチュエーションです！まわりで泳いでいた観光客の方々も声をかけてくれたり助けてくれたり、写真を取ってくれるスタッフの方もアドバイスしてくれてあっという間の1時間でした。

SUP, kayaking, and snorkeling were so much fun!

The staff was kind and attentive, and I definitely want to go back! They are friendly and make sure you have a great time.

I went in February 2023, so it was a bit chilly, but I really enjoyed it.

SUP、カヤック、シュノーケリング楽しかった〜！

スタッフは親切で気配りが素晴らしくまた絶対行きたいです！親切で楽しませてくれます(^^)

2023年2月に行ったので肌寒かったですが、本当に楽しかったです。

Beautiful day on the water with a personable crew. No fish were seen or caught but that's fishing.

Last minute I decided to add this onto my itinerary and it was so worth it! The magic island feels like the perfect spot to dip your toes into scuba diving!

We had such a good time at the sandbar.The staff and musicians were great. Very profesional and attentive to everyone's needs. Would highly recommend to all. A great time to be had

I went parasailing, rode the bumper tube, and took a banana boat ride.

Since it was our honeymoon, they made jokes to help us relax and explained things in a mix of Japanese, which allowed us to enjoy everything without any worries. They took videos and photos during all the attractions, so it was a bit pricey, but I ended up purchasing everything as a keepsake. I would love to use their services again when I go to Hawaii!

パラセーリング、バンパーチューブ、バナナボートに乗りました。

ハネムーンだったので、ジョークを言ってくれてリラックス出来たり、日本語を交えて説明してくれたので、不安なく楽しむことができました。全てのアトラクションでムービーや写真を撮ってくれるので、少しお高いですが記念に全部購入しちゃいました(^^)
またハワイに行った時には利用したいです(^^)

What scared my son was until we took off! (Until then, he kept complaining about me making the reservation. Haha) But the staff was amazing!! Honestly, there was no time to be scared. Haha We were given instructions one after another, and before we knew it, the first group was flying away. We were in the third group. Since we were watching everyone else, we were fully prepared! I wasn't scared at all. I enjoyed the scenery♪ The flight is only a few minutes long, so it's very short, but the round trip by boat is also fun! It would be good to have a camera or video with an easy-to-hold grip that you just need to hold on to. I used my phone, so it was a bit complicated and difficult (laughs). Anyway, it was so much fun that I definitely want to make a reservation when I go to Hawaii! *It was canceled twice due to strong winds. I really felt that they prioritize safety. Both Veltra and the operating company responded promptly, and since it was a cancellation due to the weather right before, the reservation change was free!

息子も怖かったのは、飛び立つまで！
（それまで散々、予約した私に恨み言を。笑）
でも、スタッフが最高！！
正直、怖がる暇が無い。笑
次々指示されて、気付いたら最初の組が飛んでいきます。
私達は、３組目。
みんなの様子も見ていたので、準備万端！
全く怖さは無かったです。
景色を楽しめました♪
飛ぶのは数分なので、とても短いですが、ボートでの往復も楽しい！
操作が容易で握っておくだけの持ち手を付けたカメラかビデオを持っておくと良さそう。私は携帯だったので、操作がややこしく大変でした（笑）
兎に角、楽しいので、ハワイに行ったら必ず予約したいです！
※強風で２回キャンセルになりました。それだけ安全に配慮されていると実感。ベルトラも実施会社もこまめに対応してくれて、直前の天候によるキャンセルでしたので、予約変更も無料でした！

If you're looking to go parasailing near Honolulu, this is the place to choose. It's conveniently close to Ala Moana Center, and the height is amazing! You can fly with Diamond Head in the background! It's best to add the photo option! The staff is super friendly. If you ask for "Meni Water," it makes it even more fun!

Definitely!

ホノルル近郊でパラセーリングするならココ一択です。アラモアナセンターにも近くて便利、高さもスゴイ！ダイアモンドヘッドバックに飛べます！写真のオプションはつけるのがベスト！スタッフもめちゃくちゃフレンドリーです。メニーウォータ〜とお願いすると、さらに楽しいですよ！



ぜひぜひ！

Band was great. All the staff were incredibly nice. Bathrooms and changing rooms on board.

Really a good time with fresh lunch and good live music. Banana boats were a blast I laughed so hard. There was crew out on the sandbar showing us sea life and it was great!

Had a good time. Would recommend them to anyone. Very professional.

The day after the Honolulu Marathon was free time. Since it depended on the weather and my physical condition, I made an online reservation on-site after the marathon. It was a busy time for travelers, and many spots were already booked, but I finally found an opening for a private lesson. The price was a bit high, but it couldn't be helped. It's great that they accept participants up to 80 years old.

The reception on the day was the worst. A Japanese female staff member was in charge, and while I felt relieved at first, her attitude was extremely cold. I was given a long T-shirt for kids to wear over my swimsuit, specifically a size S for children—about 5 or 6 years old! Even when I said it was impossible, she insisted that it would be sufficient for me. Is this bullying?

The people around me sympathized and suggested that I should get an exchange, and reluctantly, they brought out a proper size from a back room. I was the only Japanese person there, but having Japanese staff didn't guarantee comfort; in fact, I learned that I could be treated poorly.

As for surfing, I was able to stand on the board and ride the waves after just two or three tries. Getting up from a prone position to standing requires leg strength. It's definitely not something to do right after a full marathon.

ホノルルマラソン翌日のフリータイム。天気と体調次第なので、マラソン終了後、現地でネット申し込みしました。旅行者が多い時期でもあり、予約は結構埋まっていて、ようやくプライベートレッスンの空きを見つけました。金額割高だけど、仕方ない。80歳までokもありがたい。
当日の受付は最悪。日本人女性スタッフが采配していて、安心したのも束の間、めちゃくちゃ塩対応。水着の上にガードの長Tシャツを着るのだが、私に渡されたのは子供用Sサイズ。5、6歳くらいの！
無理、と言っても、あなたにはそれで充分と。これってイジメ？
周りの人も見かねて、交換してもらうべきと共鳴してくれて、渋々奥の部屋からまともなサイズのを取り出してきた。
日本人は私だけでしたが、日本人スタッフがいれば安心ということでは無いな。むしろ、ゴミのような扱いを受ける場合もあると知った。
サーフィン自体は、2，3回でボードに立って波に乗る事ができた。
腹這いから、瞬時にボードに立つので、脚力が必要。フルマラソン直後にやるものではないな。

The whole ever crew at the sand bar was amazing. From the boarding, to the live music, and to the guys down in the sandbar!

Parasailing
I got seasick on the way to the spot.
The view was amazing, and the height was just right.
It was a struggle to get there with the waves.

Jet Ski
There was limited freedom since the course was predetermined, but I had a great time.

パラセーリング
沖までに行く間に船酔いしました。
景色は最高、高さも程よい。
波があると行くまでに苦労です。

ジェットスキー
コースが決められているので自由度は少ないですが
楽しめました。

Best tour of the the sandbar so many activities and awesome staff and fun for all live music ! Don’t miss out even if you are local or visiting it’s a great way to spend a day in the water with no fuss, just bring yourselves and sunscreen and be ready for fun! Snorkel paddle board volley ball, kayak, rides and sun party deck it’s all there plus great music entertainment, Lunch, bring your friends and have a blast!

This whole experience was well thought out. From the live music to the events, to the food. It is well organized and made the experience really enjoyable.

There was plenty of activities to do for all ages.

Had a great time with good music. The crew was great and the sand bar was fun!

I made a reservation for stand-up paddleboarding, but I was advised to switch to surfing due to strong winds. It was a different experience from what I originally intended, but thanks to the careful instruction, I had a great time. Thank you very much!

SUPで予約しましたが風が強かったのでサーフィンへの変更を勧められました
本来の目的とはちがう体験でしたが、丁寧に教えてくださったおかげで楽しい時間が過ごせました
ありがとうございました

The day that we were set to go out the weather was not great. Despite this, we still had an amazing time. The captain and crew were kind, personable and attentive. Would highly recommend this charter and will probably book again!

The scenery was amazing!
But 150 is quite high!! Haha
Please be careful when choosing.

Our cap didn't have a mandatory tip, but it was so great that we paid 40 for the two of us.

景色最高でした！
でも150はかなり、高い！！笑
選ぶ方は気をつけてください。

私たちのキャップはチップ強制ではありませんでしたが、最高だったので2人で40払いました

The best tour ever. Went with this tour 4-5 times already and we absolutely love it. I took all my visitors there! All my friends and families love it. The stuffs are super friendly and they are the best people. The boat caption , Kevin is the nicest guy ever. So much activities to do : kayak , paddle board , snorkeling and banana boat. Perfect for family with kids too. Just absolutely amazing! We had the best experience and definitely will go back again. Mahalo you guys for the best time we love you guys!

Staff were so kind and fun, we had a great time snorkeling amazing!

Currently, due to the impact of COVID-19, most shuttle tours are not being conducted, so I booked this parasailing experience near Waikiki. I had a reservation at 11 AM and planned to take the trolley bus and walk there, but the trolley took a long time to arrive... so I ended up taking a taxi.

There were 10 people on the boat, including us, plus 2 staff members. I took motion sickness medicine beforehand, so I didn't get seasick! The staff was always cheerful, and even though the guide spoke English, communication was easy enough. It was my first time parasailing, and... the result!! It was incredibly fun!!! The moment we took off was the most thrilling. Once we were in the air, it surprisingly didn't sway much, and we had a relaxing time. Before landing, we did get a nice splash into the sea, which was funny! I was so excited that I also purchased photos for $40. Overall, it was so much fun that I want to do it again soon!

現在、コロナ禍の影響で送迎付きツアーがほとんど実施されていないので、ワイキキ近辺で出来るこちらのパラセーリングを予約しました。
11時の予約でトロリーバスと徒歩で向かおうとしたのですが、トロリーがなかなか来ず…結局タクシーで行きました。

船は私たち入れて10名＋スタッフ2名。
酔い止めを飲んで行ったので船酔いはせずすみました！スタッフさんは常に陽気で英語ガイドですが問題ないくらいコミュニケーションもとれます。
初めてのパラセーリングでしたが……結果！！めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！！！
旅立つ瞬間が1番ドキドキでした。空に上がってからは意外と揺れずにゆっくりした時間を過ごせました。着地の前にはしっかり海にボチャされます笑。でもまたそれがおもしろい！
気持ちも高まって写真も40ドルで購入しました。総合的に楽し過ぎてまた早くやりたいです！！

Great and fun experience. Staff and performers were very kind, accommodating, and entertaining. I would highly recommend.

I tried surfing for the first time. They teach you carefully so that even beginners can understand, and when you're about to catch a wave, they guide you by saying, "Paddle and ride now!" After a few tries, I was able to ride the waves! Even in group lessons, you get to ride quite a number of waves, so I felt very satisfied.

*Tips are not included in the tour price, so it's recommended to bring cash. Depending on the group, there are usually about two trainers, so I think it's good to bring around three $10 bills.

初めてサーフィンをしました。
初めてでもわかるように丁寧に教えてくれるし、
波に乗る時は、教えくれて、漕いで今乗れーと、教えてくれるので、数回やると、乗れるようになりました！
グループレッスンでも、かなりの数の波に乗れるので、とても満足感があります。
※チップはツアー料金に含まれないので、現金で持参がおすすめです。グループによりますが、トレーナーが2名位いるので、10ドル札を3枚くらい持参が良いと思います

Thank you very much for kindly instructing my family, who had the selfish desire to surf starting from New Year's Day. A long time ago, when I came to Hawaii, the lively sight of people surfing left a lasting impression on me, and I had always wanted to try surfing the next time I visited Hawaii. This time, it became a reality and a challenge after turning sixty, but I was able to experience it with my family.

The instructor was very kind and explained everything clearly. Although it was a short time, everyone managed to get on the board and even ride some waves, making us feel like we had joined the ranks of surfers. This activity became a precious page in the memories of our trip to Hawaii. I am grateful for the wonderful encounter with the instructor. Surfing is the best!

元旦からサーフィンをしたいというわがままな家族に大変親切に指導していただきありがとうございました。
だいぶ以前にハワイに来た時に、サーフィンをやっている人の海に入っていく時の生き生きとした姿が目に焼き付いており、次にハワイ来たときは絶対にサーフィンをやってみたいと思っていました。今回、還暦を過ぎての実現、挑戦となってしまいましたが、家族と一緒に体験させていただきました。
インストラクターの方はとても親切で教え方もわかりやすく、短時間でしたが、皆、何とか板の上にも乗ることができ、形なりにも波にも乗ることができて、サーファーの仲間入りしたような気分にさせていただきました。
このアクティビティはハワイの旅の貴重な思い出の一ページになりました。
素晴らしいインストラクターとの出会いに感謝いたします。サーフィン最高。
