All Reviews for Watersports

I participated with five friends! One of my friends was trying parasailing for the first time and was really nervous before doing it, but afterwards, they looked very satisfied and it was great that we joined.

友人たちと5人で参加しました!
友人の中には初めてのパラセイリングの子もいてやるまでとてもどきどきしていましたが終わった後はとても満足そうで参加してよかったです

On the day, I was told that the waves were high and that stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) would be difficult, so I switched to surfing. There were seven students, and my friend and I ended up with Mr. M, who hardly speaks any Japanese. This Mr. M was the worst! He had no smile from the beginning and looked scary. I was nervous as a beginner...

Even when we were in the water, he never came over to the students. Even when he told us to come over, we couldn't move towards him... It was not fun at all. He assumed we didn't understand English and kept complaining, saying things like, "I'm just doing this for work," and "You can't even swim."

If you get this teacher, it's the worst. He should be let go! What should have been a fun memory turned into a terrible one that I don't want to remember. The woman at the counter (a Japanese person) also said that this teacher has a bad reputation. I can't understand why he is still employed. I want my money back. Of course, there are things that need to be said for safety, but that attitude is unacceptable!

当日、波が高いとのことでＳＵＰ難しいと言われサーフィンに。生徒が７人いたため、私と友人は日本語のほとんどできないＭ先生となった。このＭ先生が最悪です！最初から笑顔なし、怖い顔のまま。初心者で緊張しているのに・・・
海で出ても、先生から生徒に寄ってくることなし。こっちにこいと言われてもなかなか先生のところまですすむこともできず・・・
全く楽しくない。そして、こちらが英語がわからないと思って、「俺は仕事だからやってんだ」とか、「泳げないくせに」とか、文句ばかり。
この先生にあたったら、最悪です。やめさせるべき！
楽しいはずの思い出が思い出したくない最悪の思い出になりました。
カウンターの女性（日本人）もこの先生は評判が悪いと言っていました。なぜ、雇っているのか理解に苦しみます。
お金を返してもらいたい。もちろん、危険もあるでしょうから、言わなければいけないこともあるでしょうが、あの態度はない！

The cheerful instructor was a lot of fun. They taught us carefully, so I was able to ride relatively smoothly. I recommend it for those who are trying surfing for the first time.

陽気なインストラクターさんがとても楽しかったです。丁寧に教えてくれたので割とスムーズに乗れるようになりました。サーフィン初めてという方にはオススメです。

This was my third consecutive year participating, and the exhilarating feeling of riding the waves was as amazing as ever! It's one of the must-do activities in Hawaii, so I'll definitely be back next year!

今年で３年連続の参加でしたが、相変わらず波に乗る爽快感は最高でした！ハワイで外せないアクティビティーのひとつなので、また来年も来ま～す！！

This was my first time in Hawaii, and it was also my first time surfing. I had a bit of anxiety, but the instructors were very friendly, and the lessons were enjoyable from start to finish! I'm not particularly good at sports, but I was able to stand up on the board!! The way they taught was also very good. When I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to surf here again!

初めてのハワイで、しかもサーフィンも初めて。不安も少しありましたが、教えてくださった方々がとてもフレンドリーで終始楽しいレッスンでした！運動は、どちらかといえば苦手だったのですが、立てました！！教え方がとても上手なところもよかったです♩またハワイに行った際は、是非またここでサーフィンをしたいと思います！

Paddling is such an amazing Hawaiian tradition; these guys made it a blast. My family hasn't paddled before and it had been 20 years for me. They took us out in Waikiki and we caught some swells and rode the waves in. The photographers associated with canoeing took great shots and captured everyone smiling. I absolutely recommend this excursion for anyone traveling to Oahu.

On windy days, those who are prone to seasickness may want to take motion sickness medication, as it could be helpful. It's close to Waikiki, so I recommend it for those who are short on time.

風が強い日は、船酔いしやすい人は酔い止めを飲んで、望むとよいかも。ワイキキから近いので時間の無い人にもオススメです。

It was very expensive, but since it was over the sea, I wasn't scared. The view of Waikiki was very beautiful. The boat rocked quite a bit, so it's better to take motion sickness medication. In the end, you get dropped into the sea, but I had fun.

とても高かったけど、下は海なので怖くなかったです。ワイキキの景色がとてもきれいでした。かなりボートが揺れて船酔いしやすいので酔い止め飲んだ方がいいです。
最後に海にドボンされますが、楽しめました。

I referred to the experiences beforehand. Following the advice, I gave motion sickness medication to my children who are prone to getting seasick before boarding, but only my eldest daughter ended up feeling seasick among the three kids. The boarding position might also be a factor. It may be better for those who are prone to seasickness to board towards the back of the boat.

The parasailing experience itself was wonderful. I let my 5-year-old try it at 150 meters. Thanks to the cheerful and friendly staff, we had a great time.

体験談を事前に参照しました。
ｱﾄﾞﾊﾞｲｽ通り、乗り物酔いしやすい子供たちに酔い止めを内服させて乗船させましたが、3人の子供のうち長女のみが船酔いしてしまいました。乗船位置も関係しているかもしれません。船酔いしやすい人はなるべく後部の方に乗船した方がよいかもしれません。
ﾊﾟﾗｾｲﾘﾝｸﾞ自体は素晴らしい体験でした。
5歳児も150mで体験させました。陽気でﾌﾚﾝﾄﾞﾘｰな添乗員のおかげでとても楽しめました。

I signed up for a 90m experience with my wife and our two elementary school children. The whole family was super excited about this extraordinary experience! We had a great time.
There was a middle school boy and a woman from another couple on the same boat who got seasick, so it's better for those who are prone to motion sickness to take anti-nausea medication beforehand.

小学生2人と妻と私の4人で90mに申し込みました。非日常の体験に家族みんな大興奮！すっごく楽しめました。
同じボートに中学生の男の子と、別のカップルの女性が船酔いで死んでましたので、酔いやすい人は酔い止め薬を先に飲んでおいた方がいいです。

I was a little disappointed that we didn't land in the water for some reason, but my first parasailing experience was very enjoyable. I recommend going for 150 meters! I usually get motion sickness, but thanks to taking motion sickness medicine, I was totally fine with the boat's rocking!

なぜか着水してくれなかったのが少しだけ残念でしたが、初めてのパラセイリング体験はとても楽しかったです。150mがオススメです！普段乗り物酔いする私ですが、酔い止めを飲んでいたおかげか、船の揺れは全然平気でした！

We participated with two elementary school students and two adults, a total of four people. Our reservation was for 1 PM, but we had to wait about 40 minutes for the previous canoe to return. However, the staff member who spoke Japanese at the reception said, "You can wait in the pool at the Royal Hawaiian," so we were lucky to wait while playing in the pool, keeping the kids entertained.

We experienced the canoe with three families from the West and our group of four. In addition to a friendly captain, one of the staff members who spoke Japanese joined us, which made us feel safe and allowed us to enjoy the experience. The kids just sat in the canoe without paddles. When I asked, "Can we take pictures while on the canoe?" they replied, "You can take pictures without paddles," so I also took pictures without a paddle and enjoyed canoe surfing to my heart's content. Although we were told we could ride the waves twice, we were lucky enough to ride three times, which left us very satisfied.

We had a fantastic time at a reasonable price, and the whole family enjoyed it. I highly recommend it!

小学生2人と大人2人の4人で参加しました。
13時～の予約でしたが、前の回のカヌーが戻ってくるのを待っていて40分ほど待ち時間があったとおもいます。
しかし受付の日本語のできるスタッフの方が「（ロイヤルハワイアンの）プールに入って待ってていいよ」とのことでしたので、プールで遊びながら待っていたので子供達も飽きずに待ててラッキーでした。

カヌーは、欧米のファミリー三人と私たち四人が一緒に体験しました。感じの良いキャプテンの他に、先程の日本語のできるスタッフの一人も入ってくれて安心して楽しめました。
子供はオールは持たずに乗るだけ。 「カヌーに乗って写真を撮っても良いか？」と聞いたら、「オールなしなら写真撮れるよ」とのことだったので、私もオールはなしで 思う存分写真を撮りながらカヌーサーフィンを体験させていただきました。
波に乗れるのは２回とのことでしたが、またまたラッキーな事に3回も乗らせて頂き大満足です。

手頃な値段で、家族みんなが楽しめて最高の時間が過ごせました。
おすすめです！

Thank you for your assistance this time. Perhaps due to it being the Obon season, there were many participants, and after watching the video and having a lesson on land, we were left relatively unattended, finishing in about an hour and a half instead of the two hours promised. There was also no proper guidance regarding the return transportation, leaving us wondering if that was it!?

I think it may depend on the number of participants, but I felt disappointed that I couldn't experience a sense of fulfillment, and it felt like I wasted my valuable time during my stay.

この度はお世話になりました。
お盆の時期だったためか参加人数も多かったこともあり、ビデオを見て、陸でレッスンして、あとは割と放置気味で2時間どころか全体で1時間半位で終了。帰りの送迎に対してもきちんとした案内もなく、これで終わり⁉︎という感じでした。
参加人数等にもよるのかと思いますが、充実感を感じられることなく終わってしまい、貴重な滞在時間を無駄にしてしまった感じでとても残念でした。

It shakes quite a bit! It's better to take precautions against seasickness for peace of mind.

The pickup was 15 minutes late, which made me very anxious, but I really enjoyed the activity itself! I didn't check the usual tipping rates and ended up giving a very small tip, so I felt quite sorry about it later.

かなり揺れます！
船酔い対策していた方が安心でしょう。

ピックアップは15分遅れで
とても不安になりましたが
アクティビティ自体はとても楽しめました！
チップの相場を調べておらず
かなり少ない額のチップしか渡せなかったので
後々とても申し訳ない気持ちになりました。

I made a reservation for 120 meters, and I think it was indeed 120 meters, but I felt a thrill and excitement that made it feel even higher. Ultimately, if you get friendly with the captain, he seems willing to accommodate requests on a whim. This is because the operation of the parasailing (managing the wires and adjusting the boat's speed) depends on the captain's skills, and in my case, it was outstanding (he operated the boat while singing along to the background music!).

Both the captain and the crew member were locals, and they could understand some basic Japanese, while basic English was also sufficient for communication.

Another memorable aspect was the Japanese person who provided transportation. He had a slightly suspicious vibe with his broken Japanese, but it was amusing, and he was quite kind, which made for a good memory in a way.

One point to note is that the boat goes quite fast and can be quite bumpy (the parasailing itself can also be shaky), so if you are prone to motion sickness, I think taking motion sickness medication is essential.

120mで予約して、結局120mだったとは思いますが、それ以上の高さを感じるほど楽しさとスリルを味わえました。
結局は船長さんと仲良くなれば、ノリでリクエストに答えてくれる感じがありました。というのもパラセイリングの操作(ワイヤーの操作、ボートの速度調整)は船長の操船技術次第ですが、私の時は抜群でした。(BGM流し歌いながらボートを運航！）
船長、クルー(１名)いずれも現地の方でしたが、片言の日本語は通じますし、片言の英語でも十分通じます。
また他に印象的だったのは、送迎の日系の方です。片言の日本語で若干胡散臭い感じがしたのですが、それがまた面白く、それでいて結構親切で、ある意味良い思い出となりました。
注意点としては、ボートが速度も出て結構揺れるので、(パラセイリング自体も揺れますが）、酔いやすい方は、酔い止めは必須と思います。

On the day of the event, due to traffic regulations, the pickup from the hotel was changed to a pickup about a 10-minute walk away. Parasailing is an activity unique to resort areas, so I think it will be a memorable experience. The scenery was also incredibly beautiful.

当日、交通規制があったためホテルピックアップではなく10分くらい歩いたところからの送迎に変更になりました。
パラセーリングはリゾート地ならではのアクティビティなので、思い出に残ると思います。
景色もすごく綺麗でした。

We participated as a family of four. Since we chose the 150m option, it felt quite high and gave the impression of going far up. The boat crew was cheerful, and we had a great time. Yano, who provided our transportation, was the best. We had a bit of time before boarding, but during the wait, we were told to cool off in the car, and after docking, they offered us drinks, showing great hospitality.

One thing to note is that the boat sways quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is a must. Even so, both of my adult daughters were feeling unwell.

家族４人で参加しました。150ｍにしたので、相当高く、遠くまで上がった印象です。ボートのクルーも明るく、楽しめました。送迎してくれたヤノさんは最高です。乗船まで少し時間があったのですが、待機時間中は車の中で涼んでおいてと言われたり、寄港後は飲み物をくれたりサービス精神満載でした。
一点だけ、ボートが相当揺れるので酔い止め必須です。それでも娘二人（成人）はダウン状態でした。

My husband and I participated together. It was both of our first time parasailing, and we were nervous, but once we tried it, we talked about how glad we were to be flying (o^^o). It was such a great experience, so I highly recommend it as a memory of Hawaii! ☆

旦那と二人で参加しました。
二人ともパラセーリングは初めてでドキドキでしたが、いざやってみて飛んでる間やってよかったねと話しました(o^^o)
とても良い体験なのでハワイの思い出におすすめしますっ☆

It was the best honeymoon!
This time, I participated in the 150m experience.
The boat driver was friendly and had a great vibe, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
Also, the person at the reception counter spoke Japanese, so I felt安心して参加する事が出来ました.
We gathered directly at the yacht harbor, but there were no large, clear signs for Beltra, so I think it would be better if there were more prominent signs displayed.

最高の新婚旅行になりました♪
今回150mで参加させてもらいました。
船の運転手の人も気さくな人で、いい感じのテンションでさらにを飛ぶ事が出来ました。
あと、受け付けカウンターの人も日本語が出来る方だったので、安心して参加する事が出来ました。
私達はヨットハーバーに直接集合でしたが、ベルトラ などの看板が無かったので大きくわかりやすい看板が表示したらもっと良いと思いました。

My 8-year-old daughter, who is quite timid, had an amazing time! We took motion sickness medication beforehand, so I was relieved that she didn't get seasick. Two women who were on the tour with us ended up vomiting on the way back, so for those who are worried, taking motion sickness medication is a must!

ビビリの8歳の娘もめちゃくちゃ楽しめました！酔い止めも飲んでいったので、心配した船酔いも大丈夫でした。ツアーで一緒になった女性2名は、帰りに吐いていたので、心配な人は酔い止め必須です！

I had done parasailing in Guam before, but since it was my husband's first time, we participated together!! We were both super excited!! The view of Honolulu's skyline and Diamond Head from above the ocean was thrilling!! My husband seemed a bit scared (laughs). I was dropped into the sea about three times, but it felt great for a moment!! Mahalo!!

パラセーリングは、グアムでもやったことがありましたが、夫が初めてということで参加しました！！2人で大興奮！！海の上から見るホノルルの街並み、ダイヤモンドヘッドにも大興奮！！夫は少し怖かったようです（笑）途中で3回程海に落とされたけど一瞬で気持ちよかったです！！マハロ〜！！

I flew with my 5-year-old son! Since we were at 150 meters, I was worried that it might be too high for a first time, but once we did it, there were no problems at all. My child was so excited, saying, "We're flying higher than the birds!" Right after we landed, he said he wanted to do it again. It was the most fun activity we did in Hawaii.

5歳の息子と二人で飛びました！
150メートルにしていたので「やっぱり初めてにしては高すぎたかな」と心配になったのですが、やってみたら全然問題ありませんでした。
「鳥よりも高く飛んでるね」と子供も大興奮！降りた直後に「またやりたい」と行ってました。
ハワイで一番楽しかったアクティビティです。

I participated with my sister's family of four and my son, making a total of six people. Originally, it was planned for just my son and me to do the 90M, but due to strong winds, it was deemed unsafe for my 7-year-old son and me, so we were advised to do the 150M with my sister's family in two groups of three instead. We ended up flying without much time to mentally prepare.

Once we ascended to a certain height and got a bit more comfortable, we went up further to 150M. As I leaned back into the harness and got used to the position, I was able to enjoy the view of the distant Honolulu downtown skyline and Diamond Head.

The staff were all very friendly, and it became a wonderful memory. If you're interested in parasailing, I highly recommend this tour.

妹家族4人と私と息子の6人で参加しました。
元々は、息子と2人で90Mの予定でしたが、風が強いので7歳の息子と母親では、危ないという理由で、妹家族と3人×2回で150Mにした方がいいと船で出てから言われ、心の準備も出来ないままに飛ぶ事になりました。

ある程度の高さまで上がって、少し落ち着いて慣れたところまた更に上がって150M
体をロープに預けて体勢も慣れてくると遠くホノルルダウンタウンのビル群やダイヤモンドヘッドなど景色を楽しむことが出来ました。

スタッフも皆さんとても感じが良く、良い思い出になりました。
パラセイリングに興味があるなら、是非オススメのツアーです。

I was anxious because of my fear of heights, but I was able to experience it very comfortably. The panoramic view that unfolded before my eyes was wonderful and beautiful. Thank you very much. I want to do it again!

高所恐怖症で不安でしたが、とても安心して体験することができました。眼前に広がるパノラマ風景、素晴らしく素敵でした。ありがとうございました。またやりたいです！

I participated with my husband and our third-grade son! My husband is not a fan of things like roller coasters, so I was a bit worried at first. However, it turned out to be really great. Up in the sky at a height of 150 meters, it was very quiet, and he seemed to really enjoy the beauty of the ocean and the pleasant breeze. When we got back, he had a satisfaction level of 120%!

We have two more children at home, and it’s often difficult to fit in activities with them around, but I thought it would be a good opportunity to create memories for our eldest son, and it was definitely worth it!

主人と小3長男で参加しました！
主人はジェットコースターなど、苦手なタイプなので、当初どうかなー、と思っていましたが。
結果、とてもよかったようです。150メートルの高さの空の上ではとても静かで、ひたすら海の美しさと心地よい風を感じられたようで、帰ってきた時、満足度120%の表情でした！

うちは下にあと二人子どもがいて、彼らがいるとなかなかアクティビティがいれられなかったのですが、長男の思い出作りと思い、参加、とても良かったです！！

It was a great experience that both children and adults could enjoy. The staff were cheerful and helped create a fun atmosphere for all participants. The view of Waikiki from the ocean is also wonderful. However, it was disappointing that the start time was delayed by 30 minutes because I had to call after 10 minutes of waiting for the pickup, and it ended up being about 20 minutes late. The boat sways quite a bit, so those who are prone to motion sickness should definitely take some anti-nausea medication.

子供も大人も楽しめる良い体験でした。スタッフも陽気に盛り上げてくれて、参加者みんなで楽しく過ごせました。沖からみるワイキキの風景もステキです。 迎えが来なくて予定から10分後には電話をかけ、最終的に20分ほど遅れたため開始が30分ずれでしまったのが残念ポイントです。結構ボートが揺れるので酔いやすい人は酔い止め必須ですね。

I participated in the 150m. Depending on the number of participants, it takes about an hour and a half to two hours, so it's advisable to take motion sickness medication. It seemed like there were no restrooms on site, so it's better to take care of that beforehand. The parasailing experience itself is wonderful. The staff were Americans, and they were all very cheerful, which made it enjoyable.

１５０ｍに参加しました。１回の参加人数にもよるでしょうが１時間半～２時間ぐらいかかるので、船の酔い止め薬は飲んでいた方が無難です。現地にトイレがないように思いました。トイレは済ませておいた方がいいです。パラセーリング自体は素晴らしい体験です。スタッフは米国人でしたが、非常に明るい人たちばかりで楽しめました。

This was my fourth time surfing in Hawaii. This time, I participated in this school for the first time. Previously, I had private lessons at a different school, but this time it was a group of over ten people. Although the lessons were in English, when I arrived, there was a teacher who looked like a local but spoke fluent Japanese, which was very reassuring. Before we started, they encouraged us a lot, making it easy to participate even for first-timers or those coming alone. First, we borrowed marine shoes, watched a video, and then headed to the ocean. After some training on land, we entered the water. In addition to the Japanese-speaking teacher, two other instructors joined us. Our group included participants from Japan, South Korea, Australia, and the United States, so we communicated in English. Since I had surfed a few times before, I was able to stand up from the beginning and had a lot of fun riding the waves in the beautiful, shallow sea. However, unlike private lessons, when I paddled back to the instructor, I had to wait for other students to catch their waves, which took some time before it was my turn again. I think beginners will enjoy it, but those with some experience might find it a bit lacking. That said, waiting for waves while chatting with the instructors and other students was enjoyable. I believe this is a plan that allows even first-timers to relax and have fun.

ハワイで4度目のサーフィンでした。今回始めてこちらのスクールに参加させていただきました。前回までは違うスクールで、プライベートレッスンだったのですが今回は10人以上のグループでした。英語でのレッスンとのことでしたが、到着すると見た目はバリバリ現地の方なのに、日本語がペラペラな先生がいらっしゃりとても心強かったです。始まる前にたくさん声をかけてくださり、初めてでも1人での参加でも、安心して参加できます。まずはマリンシューズを借りて、ビデオをみて、海まで向かいます。陸でのトレーニングをしてから海に入りました。日本語を話せる先生の他に2名先生が一緒に入ってくださいました。今回のグループには日本、韓国、オーストラリア、アメリカの方が一緒に参加していたので英語でのコミュニケーションでした。私は何度かサーフィンをしたことがあったので、初めから立つことができ、遠浅の綺麗な海で波乗りができとても楽しむことができました。ただ、やはりプライベートレッスンとは違いパドルで先生のところに戻っていっても他の生徒さんの波待ちの時間があり、自分の番まで回ってくるのに時間がかかります。初めての方は楽しめると思いますが、何度か経験されている方には少し物足りないかもしれません。とはいえ、和気あいあいと先生、生徒さんたちともお話をしながらの波待ちは楽しかったです。初めての方でも安心して楽しむことができるプランだと思います。

I challenged myself to a height of 120 meters. It was my first time paragliding. We were the very first to fly. I was surprised by the sudden lift since I hadn't seen the previous person's experience, but once we were up, the view of Waikiki was breathtaking! We could see Diamond Head perfectly. It seemed like my husband, who has a fear of heights, and my child, who was initially scared, both enjoyed the experience. My child said, "I want to do it again," and my husband said, "If we do it next time, let's go for 150 meters."

While others were experiencing it, there were also planes flying, making it perfect for taking photos! We had a great time asking the people we were touring with to take pictures and sharing our thoughts on whether it was scary or not.

The boat wasn't constantly moving, so I didn't experience much seasickness. However, I think motion sickness medication is essential since looking down while paragliding can make you feel queasy.

高さ120ｍに挑戦。初めてのパラセイリングでした。私たちは一番最初に飛びました。前の人の体験を見ていなかったので急な浮き上がりでびっくりしましたが、上に上がってからはワイキキの絶景！ダイヤモンドヘッドもばっちり見えました。高所恐怖症の夫や最初は怖がっていた子供も楽しく体験できたようです。子供は「またやりたい」夫は「次やるなら150ｍにしよう」と言っていました。
別な方たちが体験している際に飛行機も飛んでいたので写真を撮るにはもってこい！一緒にツアーを経験していた方たちに写真撮影を頼んだり、怖かったかどうか感想を聞くなど和気あいあいと過ごせました。
船が常に止まっているわけではなかったので、船での船酔いはあまりなかったです。パラセイリング中は下を見たりしていると酔ってしまうため、酔い止め薬は必需品だと思いました。

I experienced the 150m.
This is definitely something you should try!
You'll understand once you do it. It's not that scary; it just feels great.
Even my 10-year-old daughter, who is scared, was able to do it!

During the boat ride to the spot, you might get seasick depending on the waves, so I think it's a good idea to take some motion sickness medication beforehand.

150mを体験しました。
これは是非体験すべき！
やってみたら分かります。そんなに怖さはないですよ、とにかく気持ちがいいです。
怖がりの10歳の娘にも出来ましたよー。

沖までのボート移動では波の具合により酔う事があると思うので、酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいいと思います。
