All Reviews for Watersports & Ocean Adventures

I floated slowly in the sky, feeling as if I were swimming. I can't forget the view of Waikiki from above.

ゆっくりと空に浮かび、まるで泳いでいるような感覚になりました。上から見下ろすワイキキの景色が忘れられません。

My first time paragliding. When I participated, it was just the two of us and a pair of Australian women, so there was no waiting time and everything went very smoothly. I was a bit anxious since it was a tour where Japanese wasn't spoken, but the staff and other guests were very friendly, so I had no difficulties. I chose the highest option for paragliding. There was no fear, it felt great, and I had a wonderful time.

人生初のパラセイリング。わたしが参加したときはオーストラリア女性２人組とわたしたちだけだったので、待ち時間もなくとてもスムーズでした。日本語が通じないツアーなので少し不安でしたが、係りの方たちもほかのお客さんもとてもフレンドリーで不自由はありませんでした。パラセイリングは一番高く上がるものにしました。怖さはなく気持ち良くて、素敵なひとときが過ごせました。

The instructor watches all the timing for catching the waves, so even complete beginners like us were able to ride easily and have fun. A separate photographer was there to capture us while we were riding the waves. It was great to receive a ROM at the end to keep a record of the experience. The actual surfing time was just under an hour, which I think was just right in terms of physical exertion! I recommend going early in the morning as the beach is less crowded then.

インストラクターの方が波に乗るタイミングを全部見てくれるので、全くの初心者の私たちでも簡単に、楽しく乗ることが出来ました。
カメラマンの方が別で付いていて波に乗れている所を撮影してくれています。最後にROMをもらえるので記録に残すこと出来て良かったです。
実質サーフィンの時間は一時間弱ですが、体力的にちょうど良かったと思います！
朝早い時間の方がビーチが空いてるそうなのでオススメです。

so friendly staffs and good boat
time was enough and additional photo option was good
(it worth !!)

This is a must do! I don't want to spoil it for you. The crew is Awesome & staff is very friendly. Must do if on Ohau!

I participated with a friend. It was a yacht with little rocking and no engine noise, so we really enjoyed the cruising experience. There were many foreign guests, but everyone was relaxed, and just watching them made it enjoyable. Inside the boat, Mai Tais were sold for $5, and we had a great time drinking while enjoying the atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

友達と二人で参加しました。揺れも少なくエンジンの音もないヨットなので、クルージングを満喫できました。外人のお客さんが多かったですが、みなさんリラックスされていてその様子をみるだけでも楽しくなりました。船内ではマイタイが5ドルで販売されていてお酒を飲みながら最高の時間を過ごせました。おすすめですよ。

The boat ride was extremely bumpy, and I got quite seasick. It was fun, but motion sickness medication is a must.

Also, if the service is good, I usually leave a tip on the way out, but I’ve noticed people conspicuously leaving $20 or $30 bills. Japanese people tend to feel obligated to leave a similar amount, but it’s not necessary to pay that much. A tip of around $2 to $3 is more than enough. Be careful not to feel pressured to tip excessively.

めちゃくちゃ船の運転が荒く、かなり船酔いしました。楽しかったですが、酔い止め必須です。
また、サービスがよければ帰り際にチップを置いていきますが、これ見よがしに20や30ドル札を置いています。日本人は気を遣って同じくらい置いてしまいますが、そんなに払う必要なし。せいぜい2～3程度で十分です。気を遣わないように注意。

This was my second time attending Hawaiian Parasail in Honolulu and it wasn't as good as the first time. Everything was great as far as the actual para-sailing goes. Honestly, it felt rushed and not as excited for them to have a family of 8 for our trip. We did tip them and we don't regret it but I do wish that it felt more welcoming than it did.
But I would go again for a third time :D

I was filled with anxiety and excitement until I went sailing. I even thought about not going until the previous group sailed. However, seeing how much fun they were having made me decide to take on the challenge of sailing. My anxiety disappeared as I soared into the sky, and looking down at the ocean felt refreshing and uplifting. I am eager to challenge myself again, and next time, I want to aim even higher.

　セイリングするまで不安やらわくわく期待感でいっぱいでした。前の組がセイリングするまではやめようかと思ったくらいです。ところが前の組が余りにも楽しそうだったので決心しセイリングに挑みました。空に舞い上がるほどに不安感はとれ、海原を見下ろすと気持ちが良く爽快でした。また挑戦したい気持ちでいっぱいです。今度はより高く挑戦したいものです。

Sailing on the boat, it was the second sailing of four groups. Watching the previous group's sailing, I felt smaller and smaller, almost like I was floating in the sky, and my feelings shifted more towards anxiety than excitement. When the time came, I made up my mind and went sailing. Looking back, there’s nothing more thrilling and enjoyable than this. If I ever come back to Hawaii, this is the first experience I want to have again.

　船に揺られてセイリング現場まで、4組のうち2番目のセイリング。前の組のセイリングを見ていると、空に舞うほどに小さくなり期待より不安のほうが気持ちを占めるようになり、いざというとき決心しセイリング。終わってみてこんなに興奮、楽しいものは無い。ハワイにまた来るようなことがあれば真っ先にまた経験したい。

The instructor was very kind, and both beginners were able to catch waves right away, which was impressive. They also captured photos of us surfing on a CD. I want to try it again!

先生が大変親切で初心者２人ともすぐに波に乗れて感激しました。波乗り中の写真もＣＤに収めてくれました。又トライしたいです。

It was exciting & scary at the same time! The strong winds made the ascent heart stopping. But once we reached our intended height, it was so peaceful.

I would do it all over again.

It was my first time parasailing, and I thought I might be a little scared before doing it. However, once I tried it, I was so moved by the breathtaking views that I didn't feel scared at all. It's highly recommended because you can't see the city of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea (or the sky) like this. I was completely satisfied even at 90 meters. It might be okay for those with a fear of heights.

You can take photos with your own camera while flying, so I didn't purchase the optional photos. Just be careful if you tend to get motion sickness since it's a boat ride.

Also, it was very nice that the pick-up car arrived at the hotel on time, which is rare in Hawaii. The driver, Mr. Yano, who is of Japanese descent, was very engaging and talked a lot to keep the atmosphere lively. It was great that there were more foreign participants than Japanese, as it made me feel like I was truly abroad.

初めてのパラセイリングだったので、やるまではちょっと怖いのかなと思っていました。でも、やってみたら絶景に感動で、怖いとは一切感じませんでした。海から（空から）ワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッドはなかなか見れないのでお勧めです。
90メートルでも充分満足です。高所恐怖症の人でも大丈夫かも。
飛びながら持参したカメラで写真を撮ったりもできるので、オプションの写真は購入しませんでした。
ただ、ボートでの移動なので、乗り物酔いする人は気をつけてください。
また、ハワイにしては珍しく、ホテルへ遅れることなくお迎えの車が来た点は非常に良かったです。運転手の日系人ヤノさんも、たくさん話をして盛り上げてくれました。
日本人より外国人の参加が多かったのも、海外に来ている感じが味わえてよかったです。

I took a one-hour lesson with two instructors: one taught me how to surf, and the other took photos while I was riding the waves. I'm happy to receive the pictures! One hour was just right for me. The instructor understood Japanese and taught me kindly, so I felt at ease and enjoyed myself.

サーフィンを教えて下さる方と波に乗ったのを撮って下さる方の2名体制で1時間のレッスンを受けました。写真を頂けるのは嬉しいです！私は1時間でちょうど良かったです。先生も日本語がわかる方ですし優しく教えて下さったので安心して楽しめました。

My mother and cousin experienced the 90M, while I did the 150M. The shuttle driver was also a very cheerful and funny person. My mother, who is somewhat afraid of heights, really enjoyed it. I was surprised when she said that she felt she could go even higher when it was over! The 150M is quite high, and even I, who usually handles heights well, felt a bit nervous when the wind picked up (laughs). The crew on the boat were friendly, and although they didn't speak much Japanese, we managed to communicate through feelings. The view of Honolulu was breathtaking, and I think it would be a lot of fun for families as well. By the way, we participated with the 2 PM pickup, and since we happened to be the only ones, we were able to take our time, which was lucky.

母といとこが90M、私は150Mを体験しました。
送迎のおじさんもとても愉快な人で面白かったです。
多少高所のある母もとても楽しんでいました。
終わった時にはもう少し高くまで行けそうwとまで言っていたのでびっくりしました。
150Mはなかなか高く、普段平気な私も風がふくと少しビビりました（笑）
船の方達も気さくな方で日本語はあまり話せませんがフィーリングでなんとかなります。
ホノルルの景色も絶景で、とても楽しくファミリーでもとても楽しめると思います。
ちなみに14時のPickUPで参加しましたが、たまたま私たちだけだったのでゆっくりできてそれもラッキーでした。

It was my first time paddle surfing! It was so much fun! Luckily, I was able to see a sea turtle, which was amazing! I also got some great photos, making for a wonderful memory. Thank you!

初めてのパドルサーフィン！とても楽しかったです！
運良くウミガメも見る事が出来て、最高でした！
写真も撮ってもらえて良い記念になりました。
ありがとうございました！

I used this service for the first time, and I was able to enjoy the best view even at a height of 110 meters!! The staff were cheerful and fun locals. However, if you are prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to take medication in advance?? Also, don't forget to prepare a change of clothes!

初めて利用させて頂きましたが、高さ110メートルでも最高の景色が楽しめました!!スタッフも明るく楽しい現地の方でした。ただ船酔いをする方は事前に薬を飲んでいた方がよいかも??あと着替えも準備忘れずに!

It was my first time parasailing. I went with my husband and son, and it felt amazing. Since it was the first day of our tour in Hawaii, it really boosted our spirits. However, the bus pick-up did not arrive at the scheduled time, and when I called, they only spoke English. In the end, the bus arrived 45 minutes after the meeting time. I was quite anxious until then, so without that issue, it would have been a five-star experience.

パラセイルは初めてでした。主人と息子と3人で乗りました。とても気持ちよかったです。ハワイ一日目のツアーだったので、しっかりテンションがアップしました。
ただ、待ち合わせの時間になってもバスの迎えが来ず、電話をかけても英語しか通じないし、結局待ち合わせの時間より45分経ってバスが来ました。それまで不安でしたので、それが無ければ５つ星でした。

We participated with my spouse and our 6-year-old daughter in the 120-meter experience. We did not arrange for transportation and met at the location with a rental car. At the meeting point at the harbor, the water was very clear, and we were able to see many fish. We had a reservation for 10 AM, and we shared the ride with one Japanese couple, one couple from the mainland U.S., and one elderly white gentleman. Since we were able to bond with the others, we enjoyed our time waiting on the boat.

Once we took off, it was absolutely amazing. My daughter was a bit nervous before flying, but once we were in the air, she was thrilled and has been saying she wants to fly again after returning to Japan.

Since we participated after reading reviews, I, of course, signed up for the $30 photo package. I asked them to take a lot of pictures, and they delivered as expected, capturing many moments. When they asked if I wanted to splash, I answered "of course," and I ended up getting completely soaked.

Next time in Hawaii, I want to fly even higher. It was truly a fun and unforgettable experience.

夫婦、6歳の娘と、120メートルで参加しました。　送迎は申し込まず、レンタカーで現地集合で参加しました。　待ち合わせ場所のﾊｰﾊﾞｰでも、透明度が高くて、たくさんのお魚を見ることができました。　私たちは10時で予約したのですが、一緒に乗り合わせたのは、日本人のカップル1組、アメリカ本土のご夫婦1組、白人のご老人お１人でした。　乗り合わせていらっしゃる方々と一緒に盛り上がることができたので、船で待っている間も楽しめました。
いざ飛んでみると、もぉ最高でした。　娘も飛ぶ前は少し緊張していましたが、飛んだら大興奮で、日本に帰ってきてからもまた飛びたいといっています。
口コミを読んでから参加したので、30ドルの写真ももちろん、申し込みました。
たくさん撮ってねとお願いしたので、期待通り、たくさん撮ってくれました。
ジャボンするか？と聞かれたので、もちろんって答えたら、心置きなく全身濡れました。
次回のハワイではもっと高く飛びたいです。
本当に楽しくて、忘れられない経験でした。

I have a fear of heights, so I was worried, but when I actually flew, it was incredibly refreshing and amazing!! I chose a height of 120 meters, but I didn't feel high at all; it was quite easy (laughs). The wind felt nice, and when I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to try it!

私は高所恐怖症なので、心配だったのですが、実際に飛んでみると、とても爽快で最高でした！！120mの高さを選びましたが、まったく高いと感じず、余裕でした（笑）風も気持ち良くて、またハワイに行った時は、是非挑戦したいです！！

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

I went with two female friends. A dedicated trolley picked us up at the pickup location near the hotel, and it took about 10 minutes to reach the port.

At the destination, there were about six groups, and we were the only Japanese people there. We all boarded the boat at once and set off from the port, taking turns to start parasailing. It felt amazing, and we were really excited! I highly recommend it!

The instructions were only in English, but I managed to understand by watching what the others were doing. There isn't a designated place or time to change, so it's better to wear your swimsuit under your clothes when you go to the hotel. You can return wet if you want.

I timed it, and from when my feet left the platform until I landed, it was less than eight minutes. The actual time spent flying was about five minutes. I wish we could have flown a bit longer.

You can actually finish without getting wet at all, but they intentionally drop you into the sea, so you get wet up to your waist. If you want, you can pay $30 for photos, and they give you the memory card. We bought it and were satisfied.

女友達2人で行きました。ホテル近くのピックアップ場所に専用のトロリーが迎にきて10分くらいで港に着きます。
行った先では私達含めて6組くらい、日本人は私達だけでした。
一度にボートに乗って港を出発して順番にパラセイリング開始します。めちゃくちゃ気持ちくてテンションあがります！オススメです♪
説明が英語のみでしたがなんとなく他の人たちのを見てたらわかりました。
着替える場所と時間が準備されている訳ではないのでホテルで中に着ていった方がいいです。濡れたままでも帰れます。
時計で計った所、足が離れてからつくまでで8分もありません。実質飛んでるのは5分程度です。もう少し長く飛んでいたかったですが。
本当は全く濡れずに終えることも可能ですがわざと海に落とされて腰まで濡れます。
希望すれば30$で写真撮ってメモリーカードごとくれます。私達は買いました。満足です。

We experienced this in mid-October. October is the rainy season, so there are downpours almost every day.

We had a reservation at 3 PM, but rain clouds came down from the mountains in the afternoon, and there was a downpour about 30 minutes before we were set to fly.

I was worried that we wouldn't be able to enjoy the stunning views because of the rain, but just before we took off, the rain stopped, and we were able to enjoy beautiful scenery.

The sky was more breathtaking than I imagined, and it was very peaceful. I think such a space is hard to come by.

The captain spoke mostly in English, but they were cheerful and made it enjoyable. They also took photos, and you can get an SD card for $30.

I think even those with a fear of heights can enjoy this experience. I highly recommend it.

私たちが体験したのは１０月半ばでした。
１０月は雨期なので、ほぼ毎日スコールがあります。

午後３時に予約したのですが、午後から雨雲が山から降りてきて
私たちが飛ぶ３０分前くらいにスコールがありました。。

雨では、絶景が期待できないのでとでも心配していましたが
飛ぶ寸前でスコールがやんで、きれいな景色を堪能できました。

空は、想像以上の眺めでとても静かです。
こんな空間は、なかなか味わえないと思いますよ。

キャプテンは、ほぼ英語ですが明るい方々で楽しめました。
写真も撮影してくれて、３０ドルでSDカードがもらえます。

高所恐怖症の方でも堪能出来ると思います。おすすめです。

This was my second experience. It was very comfortable. They gradually increased the altitude, so I wasn't scared at all. I felt so relaxed that I could have a casual conversation like, "The Earth is round," up in the sky. However, I did get splashed with water and caught a cold. It felt good, but I hope it's only for those who want to do it. Achoo.

2回目の体験でした。とても快適でした。少しずつ高度を上げてくれるので，ぜんぜん怖くなかったです。上空で「地球は丸いんだね」みたいな、当たり前の会話ができるぐらい素直な気持ちになれました。でも水に落されて、風邪をひきました。気持ちよかったけど，希望者だけにしてほしいです。はくしょん。

good teachers and great waves!
this was the first time to play surffing but I could catch the wave!!

A sailing trip for about an hour starting at 3:30 PM. It's not often that you get to view Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the ocean, but participating in this sailing allows you to enjoy the land views from the sea. Since it's still early and the sun hasn't set yet, it's not a sunset cruise, but on a nice day, the breeze is truly pleasant. The catamaran-style boat doesn't rock too much, so it's comfortable. There are separate restrooms for men and women, so even though the sailing is only for an hour, there's no need to worry about that. This tour includes two drink vouchers in addition to the boarding fee. Both alcoholic and soft drinks are available, and there's a bar counter where cocktails can be made. I went out on the deck, enjoyed a draft beer while feeling the refreshing sea breeze and sun, and took in the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head right in front of me. It was a liberating sailing experience, and I plan to repeat it if I have the chance. For those who prefer not to be directly exposed to the wind and sun, there is also an indoor area where you can enjoy the scenery. The boat itself feels very clean and new. Although the sailing time is short at one hour, I thought it was still quite enjoyable.

午後１５：３０から約１時間のセーリング。なかなか海側からワイキキビーチやダイアモンドヘッドを眺めることはないが、このセーリングに参加すると、海側から陸の眺望を楽しむことができる。陽が沈むにはまだ早い時間なので、サンセットとはいかないが、天気の良い日は風が本当に心地よい。カタマラン式の船なので、揺れもさほど気にならない。トレイも男性用と女性用がそれぞれあるので、１時間という短時間ではあるが、トイレの心配は無用である。このツアーには乗船代のほかにドリンク券が２枚付いてくる。アルコールもソフトドリンクもある。カクテルなども作ってくれるバーカウンターが備わっている。私はデッキに出て、ドラフトビールを飲みながら心地よい海風と太陽、そして目の前に広がるワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの眺めを楽しんだ。開放感たっぷりのセーリングで、また機会があればリピートする予定。風や太陽を直接浴びたくない人は室内もあるので、そこから景色を楽しむこともできる。船自体はとても綺麗で新しい感じがするほど清潔である。セーリング時間は１時間と短いが、それでも十分に堪能できるものとなっていると思った。

At first, I was nervous, but the cheerful boys kept encouraging me, so I was able to do my best! Also, the boat rocked quite a bit, and everyone felt a bit sick... We had seen reviews beforehand, so we took motion sickness pills and constantly sucked on candies, which helped us get through it safely! Motion sickness medication is a must!!

When we flew in the sky, Diamond Head was amazing, and everything was so impressive that it moved me! Just my husband and I up in the air! It was a really great time. The prices varied by meter, and we chose the most expensive option, but I'm not sure if it was really the most expensive one or not, haha.

The boys hardly spoke any Japanese, so there wasn't much explanation, but I would love to do it again if I go to Hawaii!

Oh, and you can get photos taken for about 3000 yen, and they give you the data, so I definitely recommend it! The boys who are used to the boat took some really beautiful pictures!

はじめは緊張したけど、陽気なボーイズたちがずっと
励ましてくれたからがんばれました！
そして、船はかなりゆれます笑
みんな気持ち悪くなってました…
わたしたちは先に口コミを見てたので、
酔いどめを飲んで飴をつねに舐めていたのでなんとか無事でした！
酔いどめは必須‼
空に飛んだらダイヤモンドヘッドもすごし
なにもかもすごくて感動！
旦那と空でふたりきり！
とってもいい時間でした
メートルごとに値段がちがって、わたしたちは一番高いやつにしましたが
はたしてそれが一番高いのかなんなのかよくわかりません笑

ほとんど日本語通じないボーイズたちなので説明もあまりないですが
またハワイにいったらやりたいなー！

あっ写真が3000円くらいでとってもらえてデータでもらえますが
絶対お願いしたほうがいいです！
やっぱ船に慣れてるボーイズにとってもらったほうが
すごく綺麗にとれてました！

Had an absolutely great day. I have only done one other dive about 20 years ago, so I booked an introductory 2 tank dive. The instruction by Bob was excellent. There was just myself and 1 other customer on our first dive then on the second we were joined by another instructor. We had encounters with Scorpion Leaf Fish, Moray Eels, Star Fish and not forgetting the best of all, the Octopus, which decided to attach itself to Bobs face. We were allowed to touch many of the different species under the close observation of our instructors. We spent at least 20-25 mins on the first dive and probably 30-35 minutes on the second. A truly memorable day from collection from my hotel to being dropped back off again. Wish I'd done it at the beginning of my holiday to then get certified from PADI. I'll just do it the next time.....

The hotel pick-up arrived on time, and we took a cruiser out to sea from the pier. It took about 10 minutes, which was just enough time. It felt like a walk in the sky. It was like flying a kite with a swing sensation. There was a thrill, but the feeling was amazing!

ホテルに時間通り迎えが来て、船乗りばよりクルーザーで沖まで出ます。
時間は、10分無いくらいですが十分。
空の空中散歩。ブランコ感覚で凧揚げ状態です。
スリルありですが気持ち良さは最高ー！

My wife was a bit nervous about the 90 meters, but since we were there, we decided to go for the 120 meters. They picked us up on time, and we signed the waiver in the car while heading to the port, picking up other guests along the way. Our tour included an Australian family and two couples in their sixties from America. I was a bit worried about the older couple from America, but the two guys operating the equipment were really skilled. They handled the cables very gently when we took off and when we landed. When we landed, they let us dip our bottoms in the water, but it seemed we were judged to be okay with a bit of rough handling. After a splash down, we were dropped in again with another big splash! (laughs)

Before we took off, they asked, "Do you need photos?" so definitely say "Yes!" They took plenty of shots before we flew and pictures of the Waikiki skyline from the boat. It’s hard to get those shots with our own camera, so while $30 is a bit pricey, it’s worth it.

We made the best memories on our honeymoon in Hawaii! ♪

妻は９０メートルでいいのでは、とびびっていましたがせっかくなので１２０メートルに参加しました。時間通りにピックアップしてくれて、車の中で免責事項にサインし、ほかのお客さんをピックアップしながら港へ向かいます。私たちのツアーには、ほかにオーストラリアのファミリーと、アメリカから２組の６０歳代の夫婦が参加していました。アメリカからの夫婦は高齢で大丈夫かな？と勝手に心配していましたが、操縦する２人のお兄さんのケーブルの扱いは本当に上手で、飛び上がるときも、おりるときもとても優しくケーブルを操作してくれていました。おりるときに海にお尻をチャポンとつけてくれるのですが、私たちは、多少雑に扱っても大丈夫と判断されたのでしょう。ジャボーン！と落とされた後、さらにもう１回ジャボーン！と水の中へ（笑）
飛ぶ前に「写真が必要？」と聞いてくれますので、ぜひ「Yes!」と言いましょう。飛ぶ前のショットや、船からワイキキの街並みを写した写真などたくさん撮ってくれます。自分たちのカメラではなかなか撮れないので、３０ドルは少し高いですが、払う価値はあります。
ハネムーンで行ったハワイで、最高の思い出ができました♪
