This was one of the greatest highlights of our whole vacation!! The staff were so friendly and kind. We shared the boat with other passengers who were on their honeymoons and on family vacations also. It was a great environment. And the kids had so much fun watching how they set up the parasails. The pictures turned out fantastic and it was overall amazing, I wish to come here again :)

My husband wanted to try surfing, so I joined him. It was my first experience with surfing.
We were picked up by car on the way there, and since the hotel (Moana Surfrider) was close, we walked back afterward. It took about 10 minutes.
The staff at the reception spoke Japanese, which made me feel very comfortable during the lesson. I also received a CD with photos taken during the lesson, and it was a really great experience. I participated thinking I would just be a companion, so I didn't have much stamina and had to return to the beach partway through (laughs). Paddling is quite tiring!!
夫がサーフィンをやってみたいと言うので参加しました。サーフィンは初体験でした。
行きは車で迎えに来てもらい、帰りはホテル(モアナサーフライダー)が近かったので歩いて帰りました。10分くらいです。
受付スタッフは日本語を喋れるかただったのでとても安心して受講できました。
レッスン中の写真を撮ったCDRもいただき、とても良い体験ができました。
私は付き添い程度のつもりで参加したので、体力もなく途中でビーチに帰らせてもらいました(笑)パドリング、結構疲れます!!

It was great to see the sharks, but my children, who are sensitive to motion, got seasick from the boat's rocking before we reached the point and couldn't go into the water. The sea wasn't particularly rough, so those who are prone to seasickness should be prepared.

I was looking forward to the sandbar.
The staff were fun people, and the sandbar was very beautiful.
However, it was disappointing that it wasn't the sandbar I had imagined.
I had envisioned it during low tide...
It's a natural occurrence, so there's nothing that can be done about it.
I should have asked the staff what time the tide goes out or done more research.
Since I went on the morning course, I wonder if the tide would have been out if I had chosen the afternoon course.
Next time, I want to go when the tide is out.
But it was very beautiful, and I was truly moved!
楽しみにしていたサンドバー。

サンドバーもとても綺麗でした。
ただイメージしていたサンドバーではなかったのが残念でした。

If you want to do something typical of Hawaii, I recommend this. There were many families with children, and the staff was considerate, making for a satisfying tour. The lunch consisted of hamburgers made with grilled meat on the boat. While it wasn't incredibly delicious, just eating on the boat was enjoyable. During the final snorkeling, I was lucky enough to swim with a sea turtle, which made for a wonderful memory.
ハワイらしいことをしたいなら、オススメです。お子様連れも多く、スタッフの方も気遣ってくれて満足のいくツアーでした。ランチも船上で焼いたお肉でハンバーグで、すごい美味しいって訳では無いけれど、船上で食べてるってだけで楽しいです。最後のシュノーケリングではウミガメとも運よく一緒に泳ぐことができて素敵な思い出になりました。

We participated as a family of five. It was our first experience riding the waves right in the middle of Waikiki Beach, and everyone was thrilled. The guide was also attentive and explained everything well.
There was one downside: the activity time was short. Depending on the guide's discretion, it could end in about 15 to 20 minutes. We managed to ride the waves about three times. Since we asked to do a bit more, we ended up riding for around 30 minutes and about five times, but if you don't say anything, it could very well end in 15 to 20 minutes with just three rides. So, be cautious about that.
However, this is definitely one of the activities I would like to participate in again when we go back to Waikiki. We had a great time!
家族5人で参加
ワイキキビーチのど真ん中で波に乗るということを初めて体験でき、みんな大喜びでした。
ガイドも丁寧で説明も上手です。
難点が一点。アクティビティーの時間が短い。
ガイドの思いひとつで、15~20分程度で終わりの場合もあるようでした。
波に乗ることが3回程度でしょうか?
私たちは、もう少しやらせて欲しいと相談したので30分、5回くらい波に乗りましたが
何も言わなければ15~20分、3回で終了もあり得ます。要注意ですね。
しかし、またワイキキに行くときには参加したいアクティビティーの一つですね。
楽しい時間を過ごせました。
Thank you for the four-star review. This activity guarantees that you will ride the waves twice, but depending on the wave conditions, it may be completed in as little as 15 minutes. In some cases, based on the guide's (canoe captain's) judgment, you may be able to ride the waves more than twice as a service. When there are no waves, there may be a waiting time, which can take around 30 minutes. The website for booking the outrigger canoe surfing mentions that you will ride the waves twice and that the average time is 20-30 minutes.
We look forward to your next visit!
4つ星の口コミありがとうございます。こちらのアクティビティーは2回波に乗ることがギャランティーですので、波の状態によっては15分で済んでしまう場合もありますので、ガイド(カヌーキャプテン)の判断で(サービスで)2回以上波に乗せてもらえる場合もあります。波の無い時には波を待つ時間があり、30分ぐらいかかってしまう事もございます。アウトリガーカヌーサーフィンのお申し込みのサイトにて、波に2回乗れること、そして時間が平均20-30分かかる事も記載しております。
またのお越しをお待ちしております!

We participated as a family of four. The weather was great. From the bus ride, the staff provided detailed explanations about life jackets and safety points for the sea, which gave us a sense of security. As soon as we arrived at the port, we boarded a two-story boat. It had a restroom and was a splendid vessel. The fins and equipment were relatively new and clean. The captain took us to the right spot, and with the encouragement of the staff, we jumped into the sea. Unfortunately, during the first jump, the dolphins swam away in the distance, but on the second try, we encountered a wonderful pod and swam so close to the dolphins that it felt like we could reach out and touch them, losing track of time in the moment. We also danced hula together and during snorkeling time, we even saw turtles. It was a day of great satisfaction.
家族4人で参加しました。お天気は良好。行きのバスからスタッフの方が、ライフジャケットや海での注意点を細かく説明して下さり、安心感がありました。港に着いてすぐに2階建てのボートに乗りました。トイレもあり、立派な船でした。フィンや道具は新しめで綺麗でした。船長さんがここというポイントに連れて行って下さり、スタッフの方々の掛け声で海に飛び込みます。初めの一回は残念ながらイルカは遠くに泳いで行ってしまいましたが、2回目にすばらしい群れに会えて、イルカと手が届きそうな近さで泳ぎ時間を忘れるひと時でした。
フラダンスをみんなで踊ったり、シュノーケリングタイムには亀にも会えました。大満足の一日でした。

This was my second time participating in the OP with VERTRA. I had a good impression from the first time and it was a fun experience. This time, I participated with my family: my husband and daughter. My daughter has disabilities in her hands and feet, so she cannot swim. She has never been to a pool or the ocean with friends. However, we had been to Hawaii several times, and I always wanted her to experience snorkeling or participating in ocean activities someday. This time, I decided to take the plunge, and I was able to see my daughter’s happy face. Although it was just for a short time, we were able to enjoy snorkeling. This was all thanks to the staff of Heavenly Ocean Tours, especially Yuki, who encouraged us by saying, "I'll assist you, let's go together," which I truly appreciated. Thank you very much. It was a wonderful OP. I definitely want to participate again.
VERTRAさんのOPは、2回目の参加です。1回目も悪い印象はなく、楽しい思いでです。
今回は、家族3人での参加でした。夫婦、娘です。娘が手と足に、障害があり泳ぐことができません。友達とプール、海なども行ったこともないです。でも、ハワイには、何度か来ていたので、いつか、シュノーケリングや海でのOPに参加させて、あげたいと思っていました。今回、思い切って、参加して娘の喜ぶ顔も、見れたしシュノーケリングも少しの時間でしたが、楽しむことが、できました。それも、ひとえに、天国海ツアーのスタッフ・・特に、YUKIさんが、補助しますから、一緒に行きましょうと、声をかけて下さり、本当に、ありがたかったです・・感謝です。本当にありがとうございました・・・とっても、素敵なOPでした。

I participated two years ago and it was so great that I joined again. Naturally, the staff, the boat, and the menu were all exactly the same. However, I felt that the snorkeling time was extremely short. It was like, "Wait, is it already over?!" Unfortunately, there were no fish at all. The coral reef might have fewer fish now. So, if snorkeling is your main focus, it might be a bit disappointing. The staff's service is excellent. The hamburger was just as delicious as last time.
2年前に参加。非常によかったのでまた参加してきました。
当然ですがスタッフの顔ぶれも船もメニューも全く同じ。

もうあのサンゴ礁には魚が少なくなっているのかもしれませんね。

Our experience from start to finish was exceptional! The shuttle ride started with a wonderful ride from Emanual- she was friendly and conversational, making our time feel like it was spent with a friend. She was knowledgeable about the Island and told us interesting things. She suggested we rent a car and we did- the next day! Thanks Em so worth it! On the boat Em and Captain Jenna were wonderful. Our teenager got a little sick but they didn't give up on her, with their words of encouragement and support we set sail. Our 8 year old was afraid and because of you two ladies she got in and snorkeled with an 80year old turltle. Words can express that magic of that experience! We are eagerly anticipating the pictures photographer Paul took. Your attention to detail and obvious dedication to your craft is remarkable.

I thought the early start time was a bit sleepy, but it turned out to be a great decision! By the time we were leaving, it was quite crowded. It was my first time in Hawaii, and it became a wonderful memory.

We requested private lessons for our son (11 years old), father (49 years old), and mother (43 years old). Our son had the pleasure of attending twice during our stay.
It was the first time for our entire family to try surfing. Once we entered the ocean, each of us had a one-on-one lesson with an instructor. At first, we were filled with anxiety: Would we understand what the instructor was saying? Could we stand up? Is it really okay to come this far out? However, all those worries disappeared after the very first attempt! Although we struggled to stand up and fell quite a bit, the instructor was incredibly kind! No matter how many times we failed, he encouraged us with praise.
He spoke some Japanese, so there was never a moment where we felt lost in understanding. When he taught us the timing to catch the waves, the board started moving at high speed, and I panicked, unable to do what I had learned, which resulted in more falls. I felt sorry for not being able to do it well despite his earnest teaching, but each time, he patiently reminded me to "Relax! Remember how to do it!" Following his instructions, I was finally able to stand up! It was an indescribably amazing feeling!
Our son progressed much faster than us and was having so much fun that he was completely hooked! So, we decided to request another lesson for him the day before our return (the parents refrained due to budget and stamina). I was also happy that the receptionist was a Japanese woman, and we were able to chat a lot.
The instructor for this lesson was different from the last, but he was also wonderful, and we had a fantastic time. The photos taken with the instructor are treasures for our son.
If we had plenty of money and time, we would love to stay at the Park Shore Hotel where the school is located and attend lessons every day during our stay in Hawaii!
息子(11歳)、父(49歳)、母(43歳)でプライベートレッスンをお願いしました。息子は滞在中2回お世話になりました。
家族全員人生初のサーフィントライでした。海へ入るとそれぞれ先生がマンツーでレッスンスタートとです。 先生の言ってることがわかるのか?立てるのか?こんな沖まで来ちゃって大丈夫なの⁇ 最初はドキドキしまくりでしたが、そんな不安は最初の1回目のトライで吹き飛びました(*^▽^*) 立てない、落ちまくりでしたが、先生がとにかく優しい‼︎‼︎ 何度失敗しても褒めて育ててくれます(^o^)
日本語をまじえて言ってくださるので、理解できなくて困ることはありませんでした。波に乗るタイミングを先生が教えてくれた時にはボードが猛スピードで進み始めているのでテンパって習ったとおりにできない=立てない、落ちる を連発。あんなに一生懸命教えてくださるのになかなかうまくできなくて申し訳ない気持ちでしたが、その度に「リラックス!やり方を思い出して!」と根気強く教えてくれ、先生の言うことをちゃんとやれば立てましたー‼︎ もう言い表せない最高の気分でした!
息子は親達よりもはるかに上達が早く、楽しくて仕方がない‼︎と、どハマりでした。ならば‼︎と帰国前日に息子のみもう一度レッスンをお願いしました。(親達は予算と体力の都合上自粛) この日は受付が日本人女性でたくさんお話しができたのも嬉しかったです。
レッスンは前回と違う先生でしたが、またとてもステキな先生でとても素晴らしい時間を過ごさせていただきました。先生と撮った写真が息子の宝物です。

I could only see a little because a shark was nearby. The staff were all cheerful and it was lively. It was nice to have a leisurely morning.
サメが近くに来てるという事で少ししか見れませんでした。スタッフの方は皆さん明るくて盛り上がりました。朝がゆっくりなので良かったです。
