All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

There were a total of five people on the boat, including three Americans besides my son and me. We first used cards to determine the order, and the rule was to reel in fish in that order when we got a bite. However, after about four hours of running offshore, we ended up with no bites at all. The crew said, "This kind of day happens," but I felt like we wasted half a day of our trip to Hawaii, and the mental damage was significant.

私と息子以外に、アメリカ人3人を加えた合計5人の混載でした。最初にトランプを使って順番を決めて、竿に当たりがきたらその順番で釣り上げていくというルールなのですが、4時間くらい沖を走って結局一匹も当たりがありませんでした。クルーは「（英語）こんな日もある」と言っていましたが、ハワイ旅行の半日を無駄にしてしまった感じで、精神的ダメージが大きい。

Hiking to Diamond Head's top is a must! Great views, and great feeling of accomplishment. Don't forget to buy a certificate at the top!

The crew was friendly and it was a nice big boat with clean restrooms. The guys seemed like they love what they do so that helped it be a very nice trip. They caught a 140lb tuna. It was fun :) there was plenty of shade for my kids to nap :)

I made a reservation based on my husband's only hope of going trolling. There were various options, but I chose this one because it was cheaper compared to others and had good reviews.

After participating, my impression is that knowing some English would have made it even more enjoyable. The crew members didn't speak Japanese, so they explained everything in fast-paced English. Fortunately, there was a considerate foreign participant who helped explain things clearly later on.

We needed to prepare our own drinks and food. I only brought one drink and a cereal bar, so I wished I had brought more.

There were five participants on our boat. First, we got on the boat and used cards to determine the order. When a fish bites, we reel it in according to that order. We set off and headed about an hour out to sea. The boat rocked quite a bit, so taking motion sickness medication is definitely recommended. While heading out, we did some bait fishing and caught two fish that seemed to be around 40 centimeters long. I was second in line, so I caught the second fish.

For the third catch, we hooked a marlin that was about 150 centimeters long. However, that was the end of it. My husband was fourth in line and didn't catch anything.

I don't expect to catch a big fish, but I wish they could ensure that all participants could catch something at least during the bait fishing. Spending nearly a whole day of our precious honeymoon on something uncertain for 28,000 yen... whether it's worth it varies from person to person, but I somehow enjoyed it, so I guess it was okay.

主人のトローリングがしたいとの唯一希望により、予約しました。色々なところがありましたが、こちらを選んだのは、他と比べて値段が安かったことと、口コミの評価がよかったから。

参加してみての感想は、まず英語が多少出来た方が更に楽しめただろうということ。乗組員の方は日本語なんて出来ないから、普通に早口の英語で説明されます。同乗した方の中に気を使ってくれる外国人の方がおられたので、後で分かりやすく説明してくれたので助かりました。
飲み物食べ物は各自で準備が必要でした。飲み物１本とシリアルバーしか持って行ってなかったので、もっと持っていけばよかったなと思いました。

今回私達の船には5人の参加者がいました。まず船にのりトランプを使って順番を決めます。竿に当たりがきたらその順番で釣り上げていくため。
出発してまず船で1時間程度沖に出ます。結構な揺れ加減なので酔い止めを飲んだ方が絶対にいーです。沖に出ながらベイト釣り。40センチぐらいのハマチらしき魚を2匹釣りました。私は順番が2番目だったので2匹目の魚を釣りました。
３匹目に150センチぐらいのカジキが釣れました。でも、それで終了。旦那は4番目だった為、何も釣り上げられず(^^;

大物を釣らせてとは言わないけれど、せめてベイト釣りで参加者全員が釣り上げられるようにしてくれたら、もっといーのになと思いました。
貴重なハネムーンの１日をほぼ使って、釣れるかどうかわからないことに28000円…する価値があるのかどーかは人それぞれだと思いますが、私は何だかんだ楽しめたので、まぁよかったかな(>_<)

This was a self-guided hike to diamond head. Our driver (forgot his name, I think it was Pablo) informed us about the trail & also gave us some background about Diamond Head. Water bottle was provided. Worth the hike! Amazing views from above.

wow! Cannot even describe the experience we had.... I really wanted my mother to enjoy this the most and it was great! Although she could not make the hike (because of knee surgery) she had a blast and patiently waited for me to tour and get the pictures for her to cherish.... The hike is a challenge for people with balance issuees, walking, and stairs!!!!! When you climb, you climb but overall we had a perfect and safe trip to this landmark that will be cherished!!!!

It was a great trip there and back. Everyone was really friendly and the driver engaged in conversation and made us all comfortable.

We had a great time aboard the Sea Hawk, and the Captain and First Mater were very friendly. I would have given this adventure 5 stars, but we did not catch one fish. We had one strike about mid-way thru our half day charter, but that was it.

Seahawk nice older boat very well maintained. Crew did great, worked hard to get the fish. From moment left dock untill we arrived back. Wanted to go again the next day. Would not change anything.

It was my first time in Hawaii. It was also my first time trying sport fishing. I was the only one participating in the tour, which made me quite anxious since I couldn't speak the language. On the day of the tour, we were supposed to meet before 6 AM. I thought I could walk from the hotel, but after only checking the map, I felt uneasy about going to a new place alone, so I was glad I arranged for a taxi in advance. The taxi arrived on time and took about 20 minutes to get there. Three young people were already there. I thought they were my companions, but they didn't seem very friendly, and it turned out they were there individually. A little late, a boy around sixth grade and his mother arrived. The weather was a bit cloudy, but I wasn't worried. I greeted them, but as expected, I couldn't understand much of what they said.

As we set off, we progressed into the dark dawn sea. It was more cold than refreshing, and my windbreaker came in handy. After about 20 minutes, the young captain began to slow down as he looked at the fish finder. I started to feel excited, thinking we were about to catch fish, but it turned out we were going to catch live bait. The members on board took turns catching fish that looked like mackerel, about 30 centimeters long. I think we caught around 30 fish. We were ready to go, and my excitement grew as we set off again toward our destination. The boat accelerated, and I thought we were quite far from the island, but after about an hour, the island was no longer visible. Moreover, the sea was quite rough, and the boat rocked significantly, which surprised me.

The boat was professional and exceeded my expectations with its impressive equipment. I had imagined fishing in such a boat, but unfortunately, we didn't encounter the target fish. In the end, we only caught one mahi-mahi. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of serious fishing on a cruiser. The catch or lack thereof is just a matter of luck. I was happy to have had this experience. Although there was a language barrier, the captain was considerate, and it turned out to be a memorable day.

　初めてのハワイでした。
　スポーツフィッシングもはじめて。同行のツアーで、参加するのも、どうやら私一人。言葉もできないし、不安いっぱいで、当日を迎えた。
　当日、６時前の集合で、、ホテルから歩けるかと思っていたが、地図上だけの確認で、一人、初めてのところに行くのも不安だったので、事前にタクシーをお願いしていて正解だった。タクシーは、時間どうり手配されており、２０分くらいで、到着。すでに、３人の若者が、来ていた。仲間かと思っていたら、それほど親しそうでもなく、それぞれの参加だったようだ。遅れて、小学６年生くらいの男の子と、お母さんが、やってきた。天気は、やや曇りだが、心配なし。挨拶をしたが、案の定よく言葉は、わからなかった。
　出発すると、どんどん真っ暗な夜明けの海を進んでいく。すがすがしいというよりは、寒い。ウインドブレーカーが役に立つ。２０分くらい走ったろうか、しきりに、キャプテンの青年が、魚探を眺めてスピードを落とし始めた。いよいよかとワクワクし始めたら、どうも生餌を釣るということらしく、乗ったメンバーが、順番に、３０センチくらいのサバのような魚を釣り上げることになった。３０匹くらいは、釣ったと思う。準備はできた。いよいよと思ってワクワク感は、募っていく。目指す場所に向かって、再度、出発。船は、どんどん加速され、けっこう、島から離れたなあと思っていたのだが、１時間くらい走り続けただろうか、もう、島は、見えなくなってしまっていた。おまけに、沖は、それなりに、しけていて、けっこう、上下に、大きく揺れ、こんなところまで来るのかと驚いた。
　　ボートは、本格的で、私のイメージをはるかに超え、立派な装備がされていたものだった。こういう船で、マリーンは、釣るのかと勝手に、想像を膨らませていたが、なかなか、お目当ての魚に出会うことは、残念ながらなかった。結局、釣果としては、シイラ１匹だけだった。
　　でも、クルーザーに乗っての本格的なフィッシングは、十分堪能できた。釣れるつれないは、時の運。このような体験をできたことが、楽しかった。言葉の壁は、なかったわけではないが、キャプテンも、気を使ってくれ、、思い出深い１日となった。

We enjoyed this hike very much. The shuttle pick up from our hotel was great, as we did not have a rental car. The driver was kind and helpful, even though we did have trouble understanding him at times. He was on time for pick up at our hotel and on time for pick up after the hike. We would recommend this tour!

This was our first charter fishing trip both of us had ever taken. It was an unforgettable one at that. Captain Tony and Kelly were excellent guides and shared so much knowledge about both fishing and Hawaii in general. Both Captain Tony and Kelly warned us typically spring time is when fishing is best and summer time is a bit slower,but sometimes the fish surprised them. We ended up catching a Mahi Mahi and another gentleman caught a small tuna. Both catches were very exciting! Captain Tony helped guide us as the fish was being reeled in and most importantly making sure we were safe. If we ever make it back to Hawaii we will most definitely go fishing with them again but make it a full day fishing trip. Even if we had not caught fish it was nice to sit back and relax out on the Pacific.

Very nice views..pretty easy to hike..and the views were spectacular

It was a shared trip with six people. I was the only Japanese; the others were one Canadian man, two American men, and a couple. The crew consisted of a captain and one other person, for a total of two.

We set sail at 6 AM and spent the first hour or so fishing for bait off Waikiki. We used a fish finder to track schools of fish and fished with sabiki rigs. It didn't go very well, but we managed to catch seven or eight decent-sized mackerel. The bait was prepared in advance and kept in the refrigerator.

After that, we headed further out to sea, setting up our rods and waiting patiently for big catches. There were hardly any bites in the morning, but after moving to a location from the south to the west of Oahu, we started to get some action. That day, we caught two mahi-mahi and two spear fish.

The excitement when a fish was hooked and the joy of reeling it in became a lifelong memory. The crew was kind and nice guys. However, for those who don't understand English, participating alone might be tough. I think it's better to join with multiple people or charter a group. The waves were quite high, but perhaps because I was enjoying the view from the second deck, I didn't experience seasickness. By the way, none of the other participants seemed to get seasick either.

６人の乗り合いでした。日本人は私だけ。他はカナダ人のおじさん１人、アメリカ人のおじさん２人、夫婦１組。クルーはキャプテンともう１人の計２人。
６時に出航して最初の１時間くらいはワイキキ沖でベイト釣り。探知機で魚群を追い回してサビキで釣ります。あまりうまく行きませんでしたが、尺アジを７，８匹確保。一応ベイトはあらかじめ冷蔵庫に準備されてました。
その後はさらに沖に出ながらロッドをセットして大物がかかるのをひたすら待つ。午前中はあたりもほとんどなかったのですが、場所をオアフの南から西の方面へ移動してからあたりが出始め、この日はマヒマヒ２匹、スピアフィッシュ２匹の釣果でした。
かかったときの興奮と釣り上げたときの感動は、一生の思い出になりました。
クルーは親切でナイスガイでした。ただ英語がわからない人は、１人で参加するのはきついかもしれません。複数人で参加するかグループでチャーターする方がいいと思います。波は結構高かったですが、２階のデッキで景色を眺めたりしていたからか、船酔いはありませんでした。ちなみに他の参加者にも船酔いはいませんでした。

Capt mike piloting the Maggie Joe is a winning combination. My son I. Law and nephew all had a great great time. The crew, Ty and Jeremy were awesome. Catching a 212# blue marlin was just icing on the cake. I would definitely go with this. Few again

Shuttle got us there no problem. We enjoyed our time and it was helpful to have water & a map! Probably better than using a cab or bus.

It good. However, we didn't really hear the history of the diamond head. Unless we just have to read the posters. The guy at the gate was screaming at everyone bec they have to pay for the entrance fee. If I didn't tell him i got the package deal from this webstie he would have double charged me. They need to come-up with another system collecting entrance fees.

This was my first time Sport Fishing experiance. I've done other fishing trips but nothing like this one. Crew was great and very helpful and informative. Boat was clean and comfortable. I would definitly do this again.

After several trips to Oahu and never having the opportunity to hike Makapu'u since I don't rent a car and the nearest bus stop is over a mile from the trailhead, I was happy to see Kaimana Tours offering transportation from Waikiki hotels to the trailhead.

As the only person taking the tour that day, I was put on a shuttle with a group headed to Hanauma Bay. Pickup from my hotel was prompt, the driver was both professional and entertaining, and pickup from the trailhead was efficient (all I had to do was call the office when I finished the hike, and the driver was there within 10-15 mins)!

As for the hike itself, it is actually a walk on a paved, slightly inclined one mile-ish road. The sights were beautiful all the way to the top, and people of all activity levels should be able to handle this without any issues.

All-in-all, Kaimana Tours delivered an A+++ experience, and I hope to partake in their other tour offerings the next time I'm in Oahu!

This is a beautiful attraction and great for first timers. Persons visiting must be able to walk and climb long distances. The view is great!

Attended this hike as a family with small children (ages 4&7) and this was a perfect morning outing! The hike was paved and only a moderate incline, and the views along the way up and from the top are remarkable!

Unfortunately the tides were not perfect for the blowhole to really be going, but we did get to see some spray and the kids enjoyed it as well.

Overall, a very professionally run operation with great pickup and dropoff services. The hike was a nice way to get out and see other sights!

Well worth the experience for the activity and the views. It is a moderate hike, so if you are overwieght and/or out of shape, it takes a lot of effort. Take water, go earlier rather than later, and don't go on an empty stomach. Very enjoyable.

Mike and I had a great time fishing with your company on Saturday. Jason and Nate were a very knowledgeable crew and kept the action going throughout the trip. We enjoyed eating our part of the catch the next day. I will recommend you to my friends visiting Honolulu in the future and will look forward to another fishing adventure when I return. Thanks for a good time, Mike & Mauro Serrano

It was my First Experience going to Fishing. My Husband wanted to took our Son to the Fishing, but I wanted to keep him safe, so we desided to join this Activitie (cause, I heard this Sports fishing activitie can go with experienced staff, and safe!).
Our Son caught MahiMahi and Ahi, and he looked so happy!
Staff was very friendly and had lots of Knowledge about fishing! Thank you for the great time. We will come back again!

Even though we didn't catch any fish, I found the experience enjoyable. I learned a lot from the friendly staff, and would go again next time I'm in Hawaii. Hopefully we'll catch something next time.

The staff on our boat was AMAZING!! They were super friendly and we had a good time even though we didn't catch any fish.
