We had a fun time on our canoe adventure and snorkeling at a special area with just the 3 of us. We saw a lot of beautiful fish and our snorkel gear was great! Our guide Kai was very friendly and attentive to our safety on the canoe and in the water. It was a bit tough for us to get back into the canoe after snorkeling but he worked with us and we made it!! We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and it will be a very special memory for us all! Thank you Kai!

Kevin was fantastic! He gave us wonderful instruction and tips for the tandem kayak.
He also gave us amazing information on the island and ocean. Kevin provided all equipment and even water.
We had the best time snorkeling, cliff jumping and kayaking along the coast. We loved the sea cave stop.
Highly recommend- thanks Kevin :)

This time on my solo trip, I went kayaking.
Unfortunately, there were no dolphins, but the views of Hualalai and Mauna Loa in the morning were absolutely beautiful!
The couple who joined me patiently waited for me, who was running a bit late, along with the guide, and I did my best to keep up.
On the way back, WiL helped by connecting my kayak since I was a bit tired.
I want to participate again next time and hope to encounter dolphins!
ひとり旅の今回は、カヤックに。
残念ながらイルカはいなかったけど、朝のフアラライやマウナロアがとても綺麗に見えて最高でした!
一緒に参加のご夫婦も、遅れ気味の私をガイドさんとともにのんびりと待ってくださり、一生懸命ついていきました♪
帰りは少し疲れた私のカヤックをWiLさんが連結してヘルプしてくださいました。
次もまた参加して、今度はイルカに遭遇したいです

I paddled quite a distance in a sea kayak. On the way, I encountered a pod of dolphins twice. They came so close that I could hear their breathing.
The guide got out of the canoe and led us through the waves of the cave, guiding our canoe into the cove. It was a sight that is not often seen.
On the way back, I encountered the pod of dolphins again, which was very lucky.
Snorkeling was also a lot of fun.
シーカヤックで結構な距離を漕ぎました。行く時にイルカの群れと2回遭遇。息遣いが聞こえるくらいまで近づいて来ました。
ガイドさんがカヌーから降りて、ケーブの波の合間に私達のカヌーをケープの中まで誘導してくれました。なかなか見られない光景を見ることができました。
帰りもイルカの群れに遭遇し、とてもラッキーでした。
シュノーケルもとても楽しかったです。

I participated with my daughter, and since we were in a tandem kayak (for two people), we enjoyed the tour while taking turns resting and sometimes pushing ourselves together! Our guide, Winfield, had an incredibly lucky day, as dolphins swam alongside our kayak, creating wonderful memories. This isn't an option; it's just pure luck, but it's the kind of experience that can happen on this tour.
They also provided plenty of time for snorkeling, which made us very satisfied.
The meeting point was a bit difficult to find, but our guide helped us locate it, and we were able to start without any issues!
母娘で参加しましたが、テンダム(2人乗り)のカヤックだったのでお互い休みながら、時に一緒に頑張りながらツアーを楽しみました!
ガイドのWinfieldが驚くほどラッキーな日で、イルカが私たちのカヤックを並走してくれて、素敵な思い出になりました。これはオプションでもなく、単なる運ですが、そんなことも起こり得るツアーです。
スノーケリングの時間も十分に取ってくださり、大満足です。
集合場所に関してだけ、若干分かりづらいですが、ガイドさんが見つけてくださって無事スタートできました!

We participated with two adults and two children aged 10 and 9. We set sail on two boats in pairs of adults and children. It was fulfilling to see the caves made of volcanic rock and to go snorkeling in the coral reefs. I would like to try it again.

This is the very first kayaking ocean tour my husband and I have ever been on. It definitely helps if you have experience in rowing a kayak. My husband had plenty experience in rowing a kayak in Canada even if it was only on rivers and lakes. We totally appreciated the kokua and patience from our lead guides, Winfield & Olivia. We were late joining our kayak tour. We appreciated Winfield's follow up call as we were running late due to tire pressure issues on our car rental and needed to check it out before we got to the keauhou Bay. When we showed up, we were pleasantly greeted right away by Olivia who stayed behind to ensure we had life jackets and that all our valuables were safely locked up in their truck. Olivia led us by kayak to the group and we were able to take a personal guided history and tour of the dragon's throat cave Winfield because the waters were starting to get a bit choppy. We later were anchored to our guides along with other kayakers to enjoy some snorkeling along the reef which was truly amazing. Somehow when our kayaks were anchored, I must've lost my balance getting back into our kayak because shortly after that, our kayak ended up tipping into the ocean along with my phone. Winfield was very kind to fish it out of the ocean and Olivia quickly poured regular bottled water on my my phone but u/f my phone is still dying a slow salt
corrosion death. The good news is that we were still able to obtain the data of the beautiful photos and videos of our adventure. We loved learning the history and sharing great camraderie with Winfield and Olivia who are expert kayakers and tour guides. They made us feel very safe and at ease the whole time. Wilfield also helped calm me down after we tipped and made sure I was ok after rescuing my phone. We also enjoyed snacks and drinks and when we got back to shore, Winfield cut us fresh pineapple and we enjoyed eating that. Thank you Winfield and Olivia for a fantastic adventure!

There were about 15 participants, and a guide was at the front and back. The gathering and dispersal felt casual, as we just came to the bay and then left, so I think it's good to come in swimsuits and leave in swimsuits. There were public restrooms nearby. If you have a certain level of English or some canoeing experience, you'll feel more comfortable participating. Also, the light snacks provided were small bags of snacks and about one can of juice. They lent out life jackets for children. The snorkeling masks were one size, so the kids used their own goggles. It was a beautiful bay with very clear blue water, and it was a wonderful half-day tour while feeling the nature of Hawaii. Thank you very much.
参加者が15名くらいで、先頭と後尾にガイドさんがついてくれました。集合も解散もラフな感じで湾の辺りに来て帰るという感じなので、水着で来て水着で帰るくらいの心構えだとよいかなーと思います。公衆トイレは近くにありました。ある程度英語ができる方、もしくは多少のカヌー経験者だと、より安心して参加できるかなと思います。また、軽食はスナック小袋とジュース1缶程度でした。
子ども用ライフジャケット貸し出ししてくれました。シュノーケルマスクはワンサイズだったので、子どもたちは持参のゴーグルを使用しました。
とても澄んだブルーの綺麗な湾で、ハワイの自然を感じながらのツアーで素晴らしい半日になりました。ありがとうございました。

It was my first time sea kayaking, but thanks to the staff's care, I had a great time. The snack during the break was freshly cut pineapple, which was perfect for recharging my energy on the way back. This time, I was tandem with my wife, but I think I can go solo next time. It depends on the weather, but I believe it's a fun activity.

We participated in a two-person kayak with six people in total. At first, it was very refreshing to paddle through the beautiful sea, but as we got out into the open water, there were some waves, and my two sons got seasick. We managed to reach the cave, but we decided to turn back halfway. One of the two instructors helped us by pulling back the kayak that had one of my sons who got sick and couldn't paddle anymore. Although we felt like we were causing trouble, they helped us with smiles and no complaints, which was really appreciated. Everyone, don't forget to take motion sickness medication when sea kayaking. I feel like we could have enjoyed it even more if there had been snorkeling, but it was fun even up to that point, and it left a good memory. Also, the activity I participated in was conducted entirely in English.
二人乗りのカヤック3つに6人が乗る形で参加しました。
最初は綺麗な海の中をカヤックで進んでいくのは非常に爽快でしたが、外海に出るに連れて少し波もあったため
息子2人が海で酔ってしまいました。
洞窟の前までは行けたんですが、途中で帰ることに。インストラクターの2人のうち1人が、1人が酔ったため疲れて進まなくなったカヤックを1つずつ引っ張って連れて帰ってくれました。
迷惑をかけてしまいましたが嫌な顔せず、笑顔で助けてくれて本当に助かりました。皆さん、シーカヤックでは酔い止めは忘れずに。
本当であればシュノーケリングもあってもっと楽しめたと気もしますが、途中まででも楽しかったし、十分記憶には残ったので良かったです。
あと、私が参加したアクティビティは完全英語でした。

Brent did a great job at making me feel comfortable jumping off the cliff which was my very first time doing any type of cliff jumping and super glad I did! Snorkeling was super fun with clear and warm water. Would definitely do it again and highly recommend! Oh, and special shout out to the owner Mike for making the booking process swift and easy!

My husband, kids (11 and 13) and I ended our time in Hawaii with the morning kayak/snorkel trip with Ocean Safari. It ended up being our favorite adventure of our time on the Big Island. The trip includes a kayaking on the ocean and in to caves (weather permitting), snorkeling and the option for cliff jumps if you're brave enough. No experience needed! The guides tell you all you need to know about kayaking. They supply the snorkeling equipment, life vest, water/snacks and share the tips you need to know (like your sunglasses do not float so leave your favorites behind). So bring yourself and slather on the sunscreen for a great time!
Shout out to Alex and Brent, our guides. They were fabulous!

Water was calm so kayaking was relatively easy. Water was beautiful alongside the black lava rock cliffs. We saw a large sea cave and those who were brave enough were able to jump off the top of it into the water. I’m guessing it was a 40ft jump. We also had a smaller cliff to jump from I’m guessing about 25ft tall. The snorkeling was good too again in calm waters. Very enjoyable and would do again. Wear plenty of sunscreen.

The tour itself was good, but I got seasick while sea kayaking. Although I managed to reach the cave, I felt so unwell that I had to turn back early. There were about 8-10 pairs participating in the sea kayaking, and around 4 pairs returned early. I recommend that anyone who gets seasick take motion sickness medication before departure. The two tour guides were funny and very nice. If you want to take photos with your phone, I suggest bringing it in a waterproof pouch with a strap.
ツアー内容自体は良いものでしたが、シーカヤックで船酔いをしてしまい、洞窟まで我慢し到着したのは良かったのですが、気持ちが悪くて一足先に引き返すことになりました。8-10組ペアのシーカヤックが参加していますが、4組ほど早帰りとなりました。船酔いする方は、出発前に酔い止めの薬を飲むことをお勧めします。ツアーガイドの2人の方は、面白くてとても良い方でした。携帯で写真を撮りたい方は、ストラップ付の防水のパウチに携帯を入れて持参することをお勧めします。
