I wanted to experience surfing, which I've always admired, after seeing the beautiful ocean on my trip to Hawaii, so I made a reservation two days ago. The booking process was smooth, and it was helpful to have flexibility during my travels. Although there was a shuttle service included, the driver didn't arrive at the hotel at the scheduled time. When I called, they asked me to wait for five minutes. Fortunately, the driver arrived safely after five minutes, which was a relief. It seems that delays in shuttle service are common for morning lessons due to heavy traffic in Waikiki. The lesson itself was a group session with about ten people and three instructors. They were very cheerful and entertaining, making the experience enjoyable. I was nervous since it was my first time, but when I finally managed to ride a wave, it was an emotional moment! I felt grateful to have participated, enjoying the beautiful ocean right in front of me and the pleasure of surfing. I would love to do this again when I come back to Hawaii!
ハワイ旅行で美しい海をみたら今まで憧れていたサーフィンを体験したく2日前に予約しました。スムーズに予約確定いただけフレキシブルに動きたい旅行中には助かりました。送迎付でしたがなかなかホテルまで送迎の時間になってもドライバーがやって来ず電話連絡したところ5分待ってと。5分後ドライバーさんが無事に来てくれて一安心。ワイキキ市内はとても渋滞していたので朝のレッスンは送迎が遅れることは普通みたいです。レッスン自体は10人ほどのグループレッスンでインストラクター3人。とても明るく面白く映画でしたが楽しんで教えていただけました。初めてで不安でしたが何とか波乗りできたときは感動!目の前の美しい海と波乗りの心地よさに参加してよかった!と思えました。
またハワイに来たときもお願いしたいです!

The family of four participated in group lessons for the couple and one-on-one lessons for the children. It was their first time surfing, but the initial explanation was very good, and they were able to stand on the waves. It was also great that the children had a fun time.
夫婦はグループレッスンと子供はマンツーマンレッスンの家族4名で参加しました。サーフィンは初めてでしたが、初めの説明がとても良く波に立つことができました。子供たちが楽しく過ごせた事もとても良かったです。
Thank you very much for the 5-star review! We're glad to hear that you and your family enjoyed your time together! Please consider using our services again on your next trip to Hawaii! We look forward to serving you again!

Even if you don't understand English, you can manage to understand through the instructor's gestures. Also, the board is large and stable, so I think anyone can ride it once they get the hang of it.
英語が分からなくてもインストラクターの方のジェスチャーでなんとか理解できます。また、ボードが大きく安定しているため、コツさえつかめば誰でも乗ることが出来ると思います。

I'm not sure if it was just coincidence or if it's because Americans are like that, but at first, they provided serious instruction, but in the second half, only one out of three was actually teaching while the others were chatting. I heard that we would finish around 3 PM, but we wrapped up by 2 PM, and I wanted to surf more.
たまたまなのか、アメリカ人はそういう民族の人たちということなのかわかりませんが、最初の方は真面目に指導してくれましたが、後半は雑談をして3人中1人しか指導してくれませんでした。
解散も15時くらいと聞いていたのに14時には解散をして、もっとサーフィンしたかったです。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide a satisfactory service.
Upon confirming with the local operating company, it was explained that not everyone could ride the same wave at the same time, so lessons were conducted in smaller groups to allow for turns. The instructors only taught their assigned groups, which meant that the remaining instructors did not provide guidance to the customers. I deeply apologize for the insufficient explanation regarding the flow of the lessons on the day and for causing discomfort due to the instructors' responses.
Regarding the disbanding time, as stated on the tour page, the lesson lasts for two hours. Including time for changing, the disbanding was noted to be between 14:30 and 15:00, but I apologize for the confusion this may have caused. In response to your feedback, we have revised the information on the tour page.
We take your comments seriously and, together with the operating company, will strive to improve our services in the future. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback amidst your busy schedule.

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
しかしながら、ご満足いただけるサービスを提供できませんでしたこと、心よりお詫び申し上げます。
今回の内容を現地催行会社に確認いたしましたところ、全員同時に同じ波に乗ることができませんため、少人数のグループ分かれて交代で波にのれるようにレッスンを行っているとのことでした。インストラクターは担当のグループのみレッスンするため、残りのインストラクターがお客様にご指導させていただくことがなかったとのことです。しかしながら当日、レッスンの流れについて十分な説明がされていなかったことや、インストラクターの対応からお客様を不快なお気持ちにさせてしまったこと深くお詫び申しあげます。なお、解散時間についてですが、ツアーページに記載がございました通り、レッスンは2時間となります。その後お着換え等の時間を含めますと解散が14:30から15:00となりますこと記載させていただいておりましたが、わかりづらかったようで大変申し訳ございませんでした。お客様のご意見を受け、ツアーページの記載内容を修正させていただきました。
お客様からのお言葉を真摯に受け止め、催行会社共々、今後さらなるサービス向上に努めてまいります。

I just started surfing, so I decided to give it a try in Hawaii, but the board was so big that it was almost not even a surfboard, so anyone could stand on it. However, instead of teaching, they just pushed the board when the waves came. There was hardly any actual lesson. I think I will choose a different surfing lesson next time. Also, the time spent was much shorter than what was stated, with the lesson in the ocean being about an hour and a half.
サーフィンを始めたばかりなので今回はハワイでも挑戦しましたが、サーフボードとはいえなくらい大きなボードで確かにあれなら誰でも立つことは可能です。
でも教えてくれるというよりはただ波がきたらボードを押してくれるだけです。レッスンらしいことはほぼなし。
次は違うサーフィンレッスンを選ぶと思います。
また記載してあった時間よりだいぶ少なく、海でのレッスンは1時間半程度でした。

Instructor Mat taught us kindly and patiently. The lesson was mainly in English (though he seems to speak a little Japanese), but that wasn't a problem at all. At first, when I mentioned surfing, I responded with paddle surfing (I might have been wrong in using that term), and it seemed he didn't catch the "paddle" part, so the surfing lesson began. I realized this halfway through and asked to switch to a stand-up paddle lesson, but he handled it without any annoyance. I participated with my daughter, and both of us were able to stand up successfully. We even encountered a sea turtle during the lesson, which was a lot of fun!
講師Matが丁寧に優しく教えてくれました。主に英語(日本語も少しは話せるようです)でしたが、特に問題ありませんでした。最初サーフィンと言われ、パドルサーフィン(この言い方がそもそも間違っていたのかも)と回答したところ、パドルという部分が聞こえなかったらしく、サーフィンのレッスンが始まりました。途中で気が付きスタンドアップパドルレッスンに変更してもらいましたが、嫌な顔せず対応してくれました。娘と一緒に参加しましたが娘も私も無事立つことができましたし、レッスン中ウミガメにも遭遇しとても楽しかったです。
Thank you for the four-star review. I apologize for the misunderstanding regarding the stand-up paddling lesson being confused with a surfing lesson. I'm glad you mentioned it right away. Paddle surfing typically involves "riding the waves" on a stand-up paddleboard, but for beginners, surfing can be quite challenging. That's why we have named it a stand-up paddling lesson. It's truly exciting to see sea turtles, isn't it? You were very lucky! I'm glad you and your child enjoyed it together! We look forward to your next visit!

It was my first surfing experience with her.
Being able to surf in the dream destination of Hawaii was amazing, and the instructor was kind and dedicated, making it a truly enjoyable time. Even for someone like me who can't speak English, it was completely fine.
If you sign up as a pair, it seems you can get photos for free, so we were able to capture our surfing moments.
At the end, you can give a tip (it's not mandatory), so I think it's good to have a little money on hand.

They provided long-sleeved rash guards for everyone, and we first received an explanation while looking at photos in the office before moving to the beach for practice. At first, I was a bit confused being back in the ocean after a long time, but I was able to get the hang of it quicker than I expected, and it felt amazing! Paddling was tough, but they helped us out, and they encouraged us to stretch from time to time, so there were no aftereffects (laughs). I just had a great time. At the end, they gave each pair a DVD with our photos, which was lucky! One person had to pay for it, so I recommend participating in pairs! They also provided transportation back to the hotel, and I had a thoroughly enjoyable time; I think I'm going to get hooked on surfing! ^ ^♡
長袖のラッシュガードを全員に貸してくれて、まずオフィスで写真を見ながら説明を受け、ビーチに移動して練習。初めは久しぶりの海に戸惑ったけど思ったよりすぐに乗れるようになって本当に気持ちよかった!!パドリングがキツかったけど助けてくれるし、時々ストレッチを促してくれるから後遺症もなく(笑)ただただ楽しめました。最後に自分たちの写真を収めたDVDを2人1組で1枚プレゼントしてくれてlucky!1人の人は有料になってたので2人組で参加することをお勧めします!帰りもホテルまで送迎してくれるし、みっちり楽しめてサーフィンにハマりそうです^ ^♡

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!!

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, we sincerely apologize for not being able to provide a satisfactory service.
Regarding the photos, we confirmed with the operating company that if there are requests from customers wishing to purchase photos before the lesson, the other company's photo service present on-site will focus on those customers. Additionally, since the photo and video services are sold per person, they primarily focus on individual photo shoots, and group photos are generally not taken. For customers who did not make a request, photos are taken randomly and can be purchased after the lesson. As we do not sell the photo service ourselves, we kindly ask you to contact the local operating company directly for inquiries.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback during your busy schedule.

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。

After completing the check-in and waiting under the designated beach umbrella, I suddenly noticed that the instructor had taken a seat behind me. Are you a ninja??? The instructor was Aiza, and of course, Japanese was okay.
We started with a 10-minute land lesson by the beach, and then it was time to hit the sea. Standing up was difficult, and just when I thought I finally managed to stand, I fell into the water. So salty!!
Unfortunately, there was no photographer at that moment, so this moment wasn’t captured.
After the photographer arrived, I took on the challenge again. I somehow managed to stand for 16 seconds (photo evidence). Amazing!! The photographer didn’t miss the chance to snap the shot. Truly a pro.
Next was stand-up paddleboarding. I realized again how stiff my body is. I wanted to ride the waves, but I couldn’t quite manage it. A few times, I felt like I was riding a little bit. It felt great being pushed forward by the waves. I guess surfers must love that feeling.
Before I knew it, an hour and a half had passed, and it was time to wrap up. It had been a while since I was at the sea, and stand-up paddleboarding was more challenging than I expected. I thought it would be even more fun once I could stand properly.
受付を済ませ指定されたビーチパラソルの下で待っていると、
いつの間にか、後ろの席にインストラクターが座っていました、あなたは忍者か???
インストラクターはアイザさんでした。勿論日本語OKです。
ビーチサイドで10分の陸上レッスン、その後、いざ海へ。
立つのも難しい、やっと立ったと思ったら、海中へ、ドボン。しょっぱ~い!!
残念ながら、カメラマンが居なかったので、これは記録に残りませんでした。
カメラマン到着後、二度目の挑戦。なんとか16秒(写真判定)立てたぞ~い。
すごいぞ!! カメラマンも逃さずシャッターを切ってくれました。さすがプロ。
後はスタンドダウンパドルです。改めて身体の硬さに気付きました。
波に乗ろうと思いながら中々乗れません。数回、ちょとだけ乗れた気分に。
ググットと波に後から押されて進んでいく感じが良いです。
きっとサーファーはああ言う感じが好きなんだろうな。
あっという間に1時間半が過ぎ、終了です。

We were a bit anxious about what our first surfing experience would be like since we don't usually exercise and had no prior knowledge of surfing, but thanks to our instructor, the photographer, and the waves in Waikiki, it turned into a fun and wonderful memory.
Our instructor was a cheerful and polite person who spoke Japanese. For the first 10 minutes, we learned on the beach about safety precautions, where to position ourselves on the board, how to paddle, how to stand, and where to look. The following 50 minutes were spent surfing in the ocean. Once we made it out to the waves on our own, we adjusted our position based on the instructor's guidance, who chose the waves for us. I was able to stand on the board and ride about five waves, and within less than an hour, I could pose for the camera with an "Aloha" sign and hold hands with my wife.
Experiencing the sensation of riding the waves for the first time and feeling the power of nature was incredibly moving, especially when we reached the shore! Paddling back out was a bit tough for us since we don't usually exercise, but my wife had the instructor pulling her out, so that was not a problem at all (laughs).
普段運動をしておらず、サーフィンの予備知識もない私達にとってどの様な時間を過ごすことになるものかなと不安もありつつ初サーフィンに申込みましたが、先生とカメラマン、ワイキキの波のおかげで楽しくて素敵な思い出になりました。
先生は日本語も話せる丁寧で陽気な方。
最初の10分は浜で、注意事項やボードの乗る位置、こぎ方、立ち方、視線をどこに向けるか等を教えてもらいました。その後の50分は海で波乗りです。
自力で沖にでたら先生の指示で向きを整え、先生が波を選び、先生の指示でこいで波に乗ります。合計で5回ぐらい波に乗ったボードに立つことができ、カメラマンに向かってアロハポーズや妻と手をつなぐことも1時間足らずでできるようになりました。
波に乗るという感覚を初体験し、自然の力を感じることができ、岸まで到達してしまったときはとても感激しました!
沖に戻るまでのパドリングは、普段運動をしていない私達には少ししんどかったのですが、妻の方は先生が沖までひっぱってくれてましたので、その点も問題なしですね(笑)

It was a trip with six people from three generations of our family, but only my husband, son, and daughter participated in paddle surfing. Meanwhile, my parents and I were able to sit under a parasol reserved for tour participants and watch.
The kids fell a couple of times, and my husband fell five or six times, but they all came back quite tired after using a lot of leg muscles. While watching, they were all excited and said, "I want to try!!" but it seems that there's a difference between watching and actually doing it.
親子3世代6人での旅でしたが、パドルサーフィンに参加したのは、夫、息子、娘の3人でした。その間、祖父母と私はツアー参加者専用のパラソルの下で座りながら見ることができました。

I participated in a different tour this time. At first, the English explanation was hard to understand, and I was really worried if I would be able to ride. However, I was able to ride from the first time. Since I had my first experience two years ago, I wonder if my body remembered it? I was able to fully enjoy the time until the end, and since it takes time to get to the waves, there was no need to wait even with a large group; the group lesson was more than enough.
前回と違うツアーに参加しました。最初英語の説明でわかりにくく本当に乗れるのかな?と不安でしたが1回目から乗れました。二年前に初めて経験していたので体も覚えていたのかな?あとは時間まで十分に満喫できました、波のところまで行くのに時間もかかるので大勢でも待つことはなくグループレッスンで十分ですよ。

Even though it was our family's first time, we were kindly taught. My wife, who usually doesn't exercise, still had a good experience. It's something you can't easily experience in Japan, so I recommend it.
家族初めてでも親切に教えてもらえました。普段運動をしない妻でもなんとか良い体験になりました。日本だとなかなか体験できませんのでお勧めです。
Thank you very much for the five-star review! When you return to Waikiki, please consider using our services again! We also have paddleboards ready right in front of the ocean, so I think it will be convenient for rentals. We offer rentals in front of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel or on either side of the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel (Diamond Head Beach, Gray's Beach), so feel free to stop by! Mahalo Nui Loa!
5つ星の口コミ、誠にありがとうございました! ワイキキに戻られた際はまた弊社のサービスをご利用ください! パドルボードも海目の前に用意しておりますので、レンタルにも便利だと思います。ロイヤルハワイアンホテル前、あるいはシェラトンワイキキホテル両脇(ダイアモンドヘッドビーチ、グレーズビーチ)にて貸出しておりますのでご気軽にお越しください! マハロヌイロア!

I was exhausted, but it was a fun experience. I drank a lot of seawater, couldn't stand up while surfing, and got sunburned all over, but it felt like Hawaii!
くたくたに疲れたけど楽しい体験でした。海水いっぱい飲んだし、サーフィン立てなかったし、日焼けで真っ赤になったけどハワイ〜って感じ

Even as a beginner, I was able to stand up on the board in just one try! The teaching method and guidance were so good that I was truly impressed. There was also a girl around 5 years old from the same school standing up next to me, and she was actually better than us! At the end, they gave us a CD-R with photos (for free), and they took quite a few pictures, which really increased my satisfaction!
初めてでも一回でたてる!教え方、押し方?が上手なのか初めてでも立てて感動しました。横では同じスクールの5歳くらい?の女の子も立てていました(^^)むしろ私たちより上手でした。
最後に写真をCD-Rをプレゼント(無料)してくれ結構たくさん写真撮ってて下さっていてさらに満足値があがりました!

My husband and son participated. They said it was their first time surfing, and they had a lot of fun, even more than they expected. My husband said we definitely should do it, so next time, I would love for my daughter and me to join as well.
夫と息子が参加しました。
初めてのサーフィン、予想以上に乗れて
楽しかったと言ってました。
絶対やった方がいいと夫が言ってくれたので、
次回は私と娘も是非参加したいです。

It was my first time doing SUP, but the instructor was kind and explained everything clearly, so I was able to move as I wanted in about 30 minutes. The wind and waves made SUP challenging, but I was able to enjoy it nonetheless. Next time, I want to challenge myself to go a bit faster and venture further out.
初めてのSUPでしたが、インストラクターが親切に分かりやすく教えてくれたので、30分くらいで思うように進むことが出来るようになりました。風や波はSUPを難しくするのですが、それはそれで楽しむことができました。次回はもう少しスピードを出して、沖の方まで行くことにチャレンジしたいと思います。
