ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー 滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く!<午前・午後/英語ガイド/食事付>by フェアウィンド号

I am very satisfied with the abundance of fish. 魚たくさん満足

Reviewed by: water

There are many fish in the shallow area. I was surprised when I was surrounded by yellow tangs.
It's also recommended for energetic kids to slide down from the boat's slide or jump off the diving board.
If you're not confident or worried about getting tired, you can wear a floatation belt around your torso for peace of mind.
Breakfast and lunch are enjoyable on the boat. The meat for the lunch burgers is freshly grilled on the boat and delicious.
I also got to see dolphins.

浅い方に魚がたくさん。キイロハギに囲まれた時はびっくり。
船から滑り台で滑り降りたり、ジャンプ台から飛び込んだり、元気なお子さんにもオススメです。
自信ない人、疲れるのが心配だあれば胴体に巻く浮きのようなベルトつければ安心。
朝食も昼食も船上で楽。お昼のハンバーガー用のお肉は船上焼きたてで美味しいです。
イルカにも会えました。

First time in Hawaii, first time kayaking. 初ハワイ初シーカャック

Reviewed by: すわじ

We participated in an early morning tour as a family of four, hoping to encounter dolphins. Even as a family with no canoeing experience, we managed to get the hang of it in the second half thanks to our guide Noni's advice. Unfortunately, we didn't see any dolphins or turtles, but it was a fun two and a half hours that flew by.

イルカとの遭遇を期待して家族4人で早朝ツアーに参加しました。
カヌー未経験の私たち家族でも、ガイドのノニさんのアドバイスで後半はそれなりに様になりました。生憎、イルカやカメには会えませんでしたが、あっと言う間の楽しい2時間半でした。

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Disappointed

Reviewed by: Laura

Absolutely gorgeous morning...our guides Ben and Happy were amazing....they were really great....very helpful and very knowledgeable....it was the advertising of this event that I'm pissed about....me and my kids wanted to travel into sea caves....well....there was no sea cave...it was literally a hole in the mountain.....you don't go into a "cave" and explore and see amazing things....you literally go up to a wall and thats it. Had I known that....I wouldn't have dropped $85.00 bucks each to paddle out in a kayak to see a hole in a mountain!!! It's very misleading and I wouldn't waste the money on this.....we did see dolphins run by us in the kayaks, we did see some fish while snorkeling..even though my mask they provided kept fogging up...I eventually just gave up on the snorkeling and sat on a rock until it was time to go. No pictures to provide bc go pro didn't work.

King Kayak Hawaii - Keauhou Bay Kayaking & Snorkeling Tour

Fabulous Kayaking Tour/Lots of Fun

Reviewed by: Linh

My husband and two kids (12 and 9 y.o.) went on this kayaking tour. At first, I was nervous that 4 hours would be too long and my kids would not last. It turned out that my kids and husband loved it and could have gone longer. It was easy paddling. The day was perfect for kayaking - very relaxing and beautiful scenic route. Best part was snorkeling at Keauhou Bay. Our guide, Kevin, at King Kayak was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us a good history overview. Would definitely do this again and want to go longer next time.

I signed up because I wanted to go cave exploring, but we didn't go to the cave. There was no explanation for not going (there might have been one, but it wasn't heard by everyone over the sea). It ended earlier than planned. Snorkeling was fun, but I felt like I missed out on something.

Reviewed by: mizzlemcshizzle

We had a great time kayaking the beautiful clear blue water with our guides Ben and Devin. Was a lot of fun getting to snorkel and cliff jump and the guides provided us with snacks and drinks on the cliffs. The highlight for sure, however, was having a pod of dolphins swim by/amongst us on both our way there and our way back. Awesome time. Thanks Ben and Devin!

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

Manta ray swim

Reviewed by: Jessica

The people at sea paradise were truly outstanding. They were professional, fun, and extremely accommodating. Let me preface this review by saying that I suffer from extreme motion sickness and had I not been heavily medicated then this would've been a truly awful experience, of course this was no fault of the crew, the waters are just that rough. The crew Heather and Troy and the captain did their absolute best to make me feel better, while entertaining my six year old daughter. We saw tons of mantas and they barrel roll right under you almost touching you. Truly a remarkable experience. Once we decided we had enough the crew got us back to the shore as quickly as possible as they could tell I was in distress. I highly recommend this experience, just be aware that you will need every form of motion sickness prevention if that's a concern. I couldn't be more pleased with the crew of sea paradise.

Reply from activity provider

Aloha and Mahalo for taking the time to review your experience. We are happy you had a great time and you took the precautions you needed for your motion sickness. The waters in Kona are generally flat and the calmest of the islands, however once in awhile we do get a swell. Happy the mantas put on their beautiful performance to keep you at ease. A Hoi Hou and Aloha!

Reviewed by: ペダル

I participated in a morning tour. It took less than an hour on a larger boat to reach the snorkeling point. There were chairs and tables in the cabin on the first floor where we could have breakfast and lunch, and since there was only one snorkeling spot, we were able to relax and enjoy it. The water at the spot was clear, and there were plenty of fish.

午前中のツアーに参加しました。大きめの船でシュノーケルポイントまで1時間弱。
1階の船室で椅子・テーブルがあり朝、昼飯が食べれ、ポイントも一か所なのてゆっくり出来て良かったです。

Swimming with rays

Reviewed by: Dorotka

It was an amazing experience ! Like an underwater ballet with a bit of adrenaline because even you know that rays are completely harmless and gentle you are still swimming in the middle of the ocean at night .There were at least 25 of them that night passing sometimes within an inch of our biddies, it felt like gentle caressing. I think it was my favorite activity and we did practically everything there is to be done on the Island (from extreme to leisure ) Definitely recomend it

This was the most amazing trip ever! The canoe was perfect for my family as we all get motion sickness and everyone was fine but mom. It was a quick trip out and you are in the water immediately snorkeling with the manta rays. We had two that just kept coming straight towards our faces (one even brushed dad). It was the most amazing experience and our guides, Kat and Rob made the whole experience so pleasant. We highly recommend this trip!!!!

It was a bit disappointing that it was cloudy. 曇っていたのがちょっと残念

Reviewed by: NNN

It was disappointing that the sea wasn't very beautiful due to the cloudy weather, but I enjoyed a relaxing cruise and snorkeling. You need to get to the meeting point on your own (I took a round-trip bus. I got a bit flustered when I mistakenly went to the wrong bus stop on the way back). The staff primarily speak English, but if you print out your reservation details and show them at the counter, it's fine even if you can't speak English (I can't speak it at all). Also, I forgot to make the pre-call by the day before, but it was no problem when I arrived at the meeting point an hour early on the day of the tour. There seemed to be over 50 people on the tour, and we were the only Japanese, but the local staff were very accommodating and seemed familiar with Japanese people, so there were no issues.

当日は曇っていた為、海がそこまできれいではなかったのが残念でしたが、のんびりクルージングとシュノーケルが楽しめました。
集合場所までは自力で行く必要があります(往復バスで行きました。帰りのバス乗り場を間違えてちょっと焦りました)。スタッフは基本英語ですが、事前に予約内容を印刷していきカウンターで見せれば英語が話せなくても問題ありません(自分は全く話せません)。また、前日までの事前電話を忘れてしまっていたのですが、当日1時間早く集合場所へ行ったら問題ありませんでした。ツアーは50人以上いたようで、日本人は自分たちだけでしたが、現地スタッフは非常に対応が良く、日本人にも慣れているようで問題ありませんでした。

ケアウホウ湾シーカヤック&シュノーケルツアー 海中洞窟探検プランあり <早朝・午前/日本語ガイド>by キング・カヤック・ハワイ

I participated in a morning sea kayaking tour. 早朝シーカヤックツアーに参加しました

Reviewed by: まゆこ

I signed up for an early morning tour thinking I could make the most of my day. Since the hotel I stayed at was the Sheraton, Keauhou Bay was within walking distance. I later thought I might not have needed to bring a change of clothes since I returned after kayaking and swimming.

For the tour itself, there was one guide for the two of us. Since it was in Japanese, I felt the guidance was just right—polite but not overly strict.

Honestly, I didn't have the luxury of taking photos myself, so it was really helpful that the guide took pictures and provided us with the data.

I had a very enjoyable and refreshing time from the morning. Thank you very much.

一日を有効に使えるかと思い、早朝のツアーに申し込みました。
宿泊したホテルがシェラトンだったため、ケアウホウ湾は歩いて行ける距離、カヤックに乗って泳いだ格好で帰ったので着替えは持って行く必要なかったかも、と後で思いました。

ツアー自体は私達二人に対してガイドさん一人。
日本語だったこともあり、丁寧に、しかし口うるさくない程度に丁度いい指導だったと思いました。

正直自分で写真を撮る余裕なんてなかったので、写真を撮って、データを頂けたのが本当に助かりました。

朝からとても楽しく爽やかな時間を過ごしました。

Great family tour

Reviewed by: Breanne

We went on the kayak tour to a sea cave on June 27th. There were two adult's and 2 kids in our group. Overall they took out 20 people, so 10 double boats, with 2 guides. Happy & Ben were our tour guides and each took turns along the route to tell us interesting facts about the area. We had drinks and snacks at the area for cliff jumping. My only let down was there was no mention of sea caves nor did we go in one which I was really looking forward to since it was on the description and why I chose this one. However overall it was a great experience and the guides were very friendly and fun! The kids really enjoyed it and the snorkel time,

More kayaking expected

Reviewed by: Arlene

Our guides were very nice, funny and competent but we had no idea we were kayaking 3 miles total, which took up about 45 minutes each way. The area at which we snorkeled was "OK" - no brilliantly colored coral and saw only a few fish. We did some cliff jumping which was nice. We did not see any caves and nobody explained why. The kayak trip back was slightly difficult and very choppy due to all the boaters. Be aware that you spend much more time kayaking than you do snorkeling and it is physically demanding - one mother-daughter (adult daughter) couple had to be towed back. It was a good experience but wouldn't do it again.

Less about snorkelling, more about water slide on boat

Reviewed by: Sucheta

The main focus of this tour was on the water slide and jumps on the boat. A good activity for families with young children. The snorkelling was average, as was the snorkelling gear provided. Most people snorkelled only for about 20 minutes before getting back to the boat. We saw a lot of dolphins on the way back though, which was excellent. Overall, a good activity got families. As a young couple, we felt it was a bit too noisy for us.

It was good. 良かったです

Reviewed by: 伊右衛門

I made a reservation for the 9 o'clock session and arrived at the reception at 8:30. Since I filled out the liability waiver in advance, I measured my weight on the scale next to the reception, and the check-in was completed in just one minute.

I think the percentage of Japanese people is low, and no one speaks Japanese at all, so it's recommended to download the liability waiver from the e-voucher and fill it out beforehand. It takes time to translate on-site.

About 10 minutes before the start time, I received a harness, helmet, and gloves in a room at the back of the reception, and then we traveled to the zip line location in a six-wheeled vehicle used by the military. The zip line descends from a platform built high in the trees. The distance is decent, and we cross a suspension bridge between the wooden platforms, which might be scarier.

The staff are kind, and it's a good tour.

If you're only considering the zip line, Akaka has a longer one.

9時からの回で予約して8:30に受付へ
事前に免責同意書を書いて行ったので受付横の体重計で体重を測って1分で受付は完了です。
日本人率は低いと思うし日本語は全く通じませんので
Eバウチャーから免責同意書がダウンロード出来るので書いて行った方がオススメです。
現地で翻訳してると時間かかるしね。
開始時間の10分前ぐらいに受付奥の部屋で安全帯の装着やヘルメットや手袋を貸してもらったら、軍が使う様な6輪車の車でジップラインの場所まで移動します。
ジップラインは木の高台に作った台の上から下ります。
距離的にはまあまあかな
木の台の間を吊り橋を渡りますがそっちの方が怖いかもしれません
