All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I came to Hawaii for a company trip. I participated in activities here with my colleagues. Many of us were almost first-timers, but with kind and thorough guidance, we were able to do well! It was fun to see the turtles too. Thank you, Dan and Chieko!

社員旅行でハワイに来ました。同僚たちとこちらのアクティビティに参加させて頂きました。ほぼ初めてのメンバーが多かったのですが親切かつ丁寧な指導で上手くできるようになりました！カメにも会えて楽しかったです。ダンさんチエコさんありがとうございました。

This tour was amazing. The staff was friendly and so helpful. There was so many things to do, you could snorkel, kayak, paddle-board or play beach volleyball. They even have this area where you can hang out on the water float and just relax in the sun. I will definitely be doing this excursion next year. We took my mom for her birthday and she had an absolute blast. The water was so clear and I got so lucky to see a sea turtle while I was kayaking. The tour also has live singers aboard, which makes the tour 10 times better, they were awesome. This tour was 10 out of 10 and thank you again to the staff for being so awesome!

It was a really great experience. If you're going to do it, definitely choose the 150m height! I'm glad I did it. However, I can't really recommend purchasing the photos. I was also considering another parasailing company, but I chose this one because it was cheaper due to a campaign.

First of all, the guy taking the photos was getting ready with the camera just as we were going up, but I don't know if he didn't have an SD card in or if it was full, but he was changing the SD card after we started going up. I was up there thinking, "Wait, seriously?" and that made it hard for me to enjoy the start with my husband and child. In the end, it was decided that there would be no photos of the moment we took off. Honestly, I thought it was the worst. But since I had already mentioned that I wanted to buy the photos, I had no choice but to go through with it. They took photos of everyone, and I was shown the pictures afterward, but I wish there was a system where I could think about whether to buy them after seeing them. Looking back at the photos later, the others were also not great; I couldn't recognize anyone, and there were very few pictures, which was really disappointing. Even though it can't be helped if the faces are hard to see due to backlighting, I at least wanted more pictures!

The other company I was considering apparently sends photos via SD and AirDrop, and their reviews were really good, so I should have gone with them even if it was more expensive. It was even more disappointing because the older man and the younger guy were really nice. The experience itself was good though. ^_^

体験としてはとっても良い体験でした。
高さはせっかくなら150mを選んでください！やって良かったです。
ただ写真の購入はあまりオススメできないかも。。もう一つパラセイリングする会社を悩んでいて、今回キャンペーンでこちらの方が安かったのでこちらにしたんですが、
まず写真を撮るお兄さんは上空に上がって行く瞬間にカメラを構えてたんですが、SDが入っていなかったのか、いっぱいだったのか分かりませんが、上がりだしてからSDを変えてて、上にいる私は、えっ？まじで？ってなって、まずそれが気になって夫と子供のようにスタートを素直に楽しめませんでした。結局出発する瞬間の写真はないことが決定。ぶっちゃけ、最悪。って、思いました。けど、写真購入を先に伝えてしまっていたので、買うしかありませんでした。全員分とりあえず撮って、撮った写真見せてもらって、
後から買うかどうか考えられるシステムにすればいいのになぁ。と、思いました。後から写真を見返しても他の写真もイマイチ、誰だか全く分からないし、枚数も少ないから、ほんと残念でした。逆光で顔分からないの仕方ないとしても、せめて枚数は撮ってほしい！
悩んでいたもう一方の会社はＳＤとエアドロでも送ってくれるらしく、写真の口コミがすごい良かったので、高くてもそちらにすれば良かったです。感じのいいおじさんとお兄さんだったから、尚更残念です。体験としては良かったです^_^

My first parasailing experience. The view from above was amazing, and the staff were friendly and made it fun.

初めてのパラセイリング。
上空からの素晴らしい景色、最高でした。
スタッフの方が親切で楽しかったです。

The view from above is amazing! The two staff members were also kind, and the atmosphere throughout the experience was enjoyable. Since all groups were landing, I think it's necessary to inform them in advance if you don't want to do that. I was nervous before flying, but there was no fear, so I would like to try it again if I have the chance.

上からの景色は素晴らしいです！
2名のスタッフの方も親切で体験中は終始楽しいムードでした。
着水は全グループしてたので、したくない場合は事前に伝える必要ありかなと思います。
飛ぶ前は緊張しましたが、怖さはなかったのでまた機会があればやってみたいです。

We gathered early in the morning and took about an hour to get to Hanauma Bay. I chose a plan with an English-speaking driver instead of one with a Japanese-speaking instructor or driver to save on costs, but I didn't have any particular issues. As long as I knew the meeting time and place for the return, I was fine.

Since it was early in the morning, it was still a bit chilly, so we leisurely claimed our spot on the sand and ate the breakfast we brought before going snorkeling.

We had about four hours, which I thought was more than enough time.

There were seals or sea lions on the beach, and we saw many fish while snorkeling. By the way, it seems that there are more fish on the left side of the beach.

Due to its popularity, people started arriving in droves around 10 AM, and it got crowded.

朝早くから集合して約1時間くらいかけてハナウマ湾へ行きます。
お値段を気にして日本語がわかるインストラクターやドライバーのプランではなく英語のドライバーでしたが特に困ったことはありませんでした。
帰りの集合時間と場所さえわかれば大丈夫です。

朝方なのでまだ寒いのでのんびり砂浜で場所とりして買ってきた朝ごはんを食べてからシュノーケリングしました。

時間は4時間ほどあるので十分すぎると思います。

浜にアザラシ？トド？がいたりシュノーケリングも多くの魚が見れました。
ちなみに浜の左側が魚が多いようです。

人気のため10時頃からぞくぞくと人が来て混雑してました。

I went parasailing for the first time. It was fun. I boarded with six groups of people and took turns parasailing. Since it was a small boat, it rocked quite a bit, but if you think of it as cruising, the scenery was amazing. Thank you very much.

ありがとうございました。

This was our first experience snorkelling and it was absolutely amazing. Our reef guide Kalini made the experience so special, he was extremely knowledgeable about the fish we could see and spent time getting to know us so he could make our experience personal. There were many other activities available on the sandbar but we were having such a great time snorkelling we didn’t get around to doing anything else. I would highly recommend this activity.

I had done things in Okinawa, but the height is completely different, and the scenery is amazing. I was so moved...!!! It was the best!

沖縄でやったことはあったのですが高さが全然違うし景色も素晴らしいし感動しました⋯！！！最高でした！

The weather was nice, and above all, the instructors were all great. They took many wonderful photos, and I was so happy about that. I would like to request this again.

お天気も良く、何より、インストラクターの方々が良い方ばかりでした。素敵な写真も沢山撮って下さって最高でに嬉しかったです。
またお願いしたいです。

My family and I really enjoyed our trip to Oahu and this excursion! The crew was amazing — super friendly, helpful, and made sure everyone was having a great time. The local Hawaiian music they played on the boat was excellent and really added to the overall vibe. Snorkeling and paddle boarding were a blast, and the views out on the bay were absolutely beautiful.

The only reason I didn’t give it a full five stars is because we didn’t really get to see the sandbar. The water was up to my chest (I’m 5’11”), so it didn’t quite have that “standing on the sandbar” experience we were hoping for. Still, it was a really fun and relaxing trip that I’d definitely recommend to anyone visiting Oahu!

Dan was outstanding. We had a great experience with him. He took great care of us all.

Participating with my child, we were the only non-Chinese and non-Korean people there. The 150 meters was so high that I couldn't look down; it was scary, but the view was amazing! It felt great. I think taking motion sickness medication is essential. I didn't feel sick at all because I took it, but I felt a little dizzy from swaying in the air. I didn't feel sick on the boat. It's definitely worth the experience!

体験する価値ありです

It was my first time parasailing, so I took motion sickness medication as a precaution, but my husband ended up getting seasick. He quickly realized it and laid down to help, responding appropriately! I felt really sorry for causing trouble, but he turned it into a joke and made us laugh. Thanks to that, it became a great memory! Thank you so much!

初めてのパラセーリングだったので酔い止めも飲んで対策したのですが夫が船酔いしてしまいました。すぐに気づいてくれて、横にならせてくれて適切な対応をしてくれました！迷惑かけて申し訳ない気持ちでいっぱいだったのですがそこはジョークで笑いに変えてくれました。おかげで良い思い出になりました！本当にありがとうございました！

First time parasailing
When the boat is speeding, the wind and the splashes of the waves feel really nice.

We were the last of the four groups to go.

While waiting, the swaying of the waves was manageable, but wearing the life jackets made both of us feel a bit uncomfortable around the waist and neck.

The view while flying is amazing!

初めてのパラセーリング
ボートがスピードを出しているときは、風と波しぶきがとても気持ちいいです

4組中、私たちの順番が最後でした。

待機中の波の揺れは、大丈夫だったのですが、
ライフジャケットを着て待機しているので、腰回りと首元が圧迫されて二人とも少し気持ち悪くなっていました。

飛んでいる間の景色は最高です！

It was my first experience with parasailing and marine sports! The weather was perfect, and the feeling of flying over the blue sea was truly amazing. The instructor was very kind, and I felt safe to challenge myself even as a beginner.

The banana boat ride was thrilling, and I had a great time laughing. We took a lot of photos, making it a wonderful day to remember. I definitely want to do it again! I highly recommend it!

初めてのパラセーリング＆マリンスポーツ体験でした！
お天気にも恵まれて、青い海の上を飛ぶ感覚は本当に最高。
インストラクターさんもとても親切で、初めてでも安心してチャレンジできました。

バナナボートはスリル満点で、大笑いしながら楽しめました。
写真もたくさん撮ってもらえて、思い出に残る素敵な一日になりました。
また絶対やりたいです！おすすめです！

I was worried about the pickup location, but I confirmed it the day before, so I was able to arrive on time. The shallow sea was amazing; I could see beautiful fish underwater while standing, and it wasn't scary at all.

ピックアップ場所が心配でしたが、前日に確認したので遅れずに行けました。
遠浅の海で、足が付いた状態でも海中にいる綺麗なお魚が見えて怖くなくて最高でした。

I don't speak English, but I had no problems with the pick-up and drop-off. I had requested a life jacket via email the day before, so it was smoothly provided. The timing for playing at Hanauma Bay was just right.

私は英語ができませんが何も問題なく送迎してもらいました。ライフジャケットも前日にメールでお願いしていたのでスムーズに貸してもらえました。ハナウマ湾で遊ぶには時間も丁度いい感じでした。

We gathered at the beach in front of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, so it was easy to participate without any transportation arrangements. The staff were all friendly, energetic, and made the experience enjoyable. It felt great to ride the waves like a surfer. I would love to participate again next time.

ロイヤルハワイアンホテルの前のビーチに集合なので、送迎などなく手軽に参加できました。係の人たちもみな親切で元気で楽しく体験できました。サーファーのように波乗りができ気持ちよかったです。また次回も参加したいです。

Communication was excellent from booking, to handing out equipment, to snorkeling instructions, to keeping group on-time and together, etc. I had complete confidence in the hosts' professionalism and adherence to safety protocols. Furthermore, they were personable and so interesting. The ride to/from the bay was almost as engaging as the snorkeling. The day I went the conditions were perfect: the water was clear and there were so many fish and even a turtle. Truly, the experience was wonderful from start to finish.

This time, all participants were over sixty years old, but thanks to the kind and fun staff, we were able to enjoy sea kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding.

今回は参加者全員が還暦を過ぎた面々でしたが優しく楽しいSTAFFのおかげでシーカヤックやサップを楽しむ事ができました。

I participated at my mother's request, who has wanted to try canoeing for many years!

It wasn't just regular canoeing; it was canoe surfing, and the moment I caught a wave after paddling hard was the best!
Working together as a family for this activity became a lifelong memory. ☺️

長年カヌーをやりたがっていた母の希望で参加しました！

ただのカヌーじゃなくカヌーサーフィンなので必死に漕いだあとの波に乗った瞬間が最高でした！！
家族みんなで力を合わせてのアクティビティは一生の思い出になりました☺️

I was very scared and worried until it started, but even for us over 60, it was fine. It was incredibly fun, and if I come to Hawaii again, I definitely want to challenge myself again. Falling into the ocean at the end was also the most fun! 💓

始まるまではとても怖くて心配しましたが、60超えた私たちでも大丈夫でした。めちゃくちゃ楽しくて、また、ハワイに来たら絶対チャレンジしたいです。最後に海に落ちるのも最高に楽しかったです💓

The best day ever crew was awesome and music was stellar Jessie!!!

This was a great introduction to snorkeling for our apprehensive teen. Nick was fun, knowledgeable, and patient. We learned about the sealife of Oahu and had so much fun, too. Highly recommend!

Although the time was short, the speed was quite exhilarating, and the children were pretty scared when we went over the waves, so I think three rounds of surfing was just right.

It was unfortunate that I couldn't take photos with my smartphone during the boarding process because there was paddling involved. Later, I received an email about purchasing photos and videos, but they were all similar pictures where you couldn't see faces, and they were expensive! I was also disappointed that I couldn't purchase just the videos.

時間は短かったですが、スピードがかなり出るのと波を越えて行く時に、子どもたちはかなり怖がったので、計3回の波乗りでちょうど良かったのかなと思います。
乗船時、漕ぐ作業があるので、スマホ撮影できなかったのが残念でした。
あとからメールに、写真・動画の購入のお知らせがきたのですが、同じような写真で顔もわからない写真ばかりでしかも高い！動画のみの購入ができず残念でした。

Before it started, I was really scared, but once I took off, it was truly fun! It felt like riding a trapeze, which was awesome. However, the boat was really rocky, so I definitely think motion sickness medication is necessary! Also, I was worried about whether I could take an Uber if I got wet on the way back, but there was only a long wait for a pickup, so I ended up walking back to Waikiki. However, since I was always looking at the beach, it felt like it went by in no time. It took about 30 minutes to get to the Hyatt.

始まる前は、すごく怖かったが飛んでしまえは、本当に楽しかったです！
空中ブランコに乗ってるみたいでサイコー
ただ船の揺れがすごいので酔い止めほんとに必要だと思いました！
あと帰りが濡れたらウーバーに乗れるか不安だったのですが、時間のかかるお迎えしかなくて結局歩いてワイキキまで戻りましたが、ずっとビーチを横目に見ながらなので、なんだかあっという間でした。時間的にはハイアットまで30分くらきかかりましたが

I also caught a glimpse of a sea turtle! The guide was very enthusiastic and spoke Japanese, so I felt at ease. I want to go again!

ウミガメもチラッと見えました！
ガイドさんはテンション高くて日本語も話せるので安心です。また行きたいです

I was disappointed that the expected low tide sandbar did not appear as anticipated. Personally, I felt that the time to the port and the boat ride was long, and I also had too much free time with the various activities.

期待した干潮のサンドバーが期待通りに現れなかったので残念でした。個人的には港迄と船の時間が長く感じられ、また各種アクティビティも時間を持て余し状態でした。

I thoroughly enjoyed the ocean in Hawaii. Activities like banana boating were also fun. It was a luxurious experience condensed into three hours of extraordinary moments.

とにかくハワイの海を満喫しました。
バナナボートなどのアクティビティも楽しかったです。
非日常の体験を3時間に凝縮した贅沢な時間でした。
