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

Great trip

Reviewed by: Emil

Very good trip, totally worth it compared to doing it on your own. We had a 5yo and a 8yo and it was no problem. They really enjoyed the snorkeling (they had both snorkeled and been in kayaks before). The guides pointed out lots of interesting things including lava tubes and eels catching crabs in tide pools near the lunch point.

This was such an amazing day. We Kayaked 2 hrs out and 2 hrs in. We cliff dove, snorkeled, found some cool shells. The guides were funny and educational (kudos) All I can say is it was the greatest day ever on our Hawaii vacation and would do it again if/when we come back. I TOTALLY recommend this tour place.

ケアウホウ湾　シーカヤック＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞by オーシャンサファリ・カヤック

It was fun! 楽しかったー！！

Reviewed by: mai

We were the only Japanese participants, and the tour was entirely in English. However, they explained everything slowly and clearly, which was very kind of them. I imagined we would only kayak a little and do some snorkeling, but we actually kayaked quite a bit and went far. It's not really recommended for those who lack stamina. But for active people like us, it was the perfect tour! It was so much fun!! We crossed beautiful seas and went right up to the cave, which was thrilling! For those who are brave, they also take you to a spot where you can jump from a 10-meter cliff, which was incredibly refreshing!

日本人の参加者は私たちだけで、すべて英語のツアーです。ただ、わかりやすいようにゆっくり説明してくれてとても親切でした。少しだけカヤックしてシュノーケリングのイメージでしたが、結構がっつりカヤックして遠くまで行きました。体力のない方はあまりおすすめではありません。でもアクティブな私達にはぴったりなツアーでした♪すっごく楽しかったです！！きれいな海を渡り、洞窟の前まで行ってスリル満天でした！勇気のある人は１０ｍの崖からジャンプできるスポットにも連れて行ってもらえるので、すごく爽快でした☆

Enjoying the beautiful blue sea! 青い海で大満喫！

Reviewed by: ななとも

I went kayaking with my mother, sister, and husband. It was my first time kayaking, but Kevin and Noni taught us patiently, and we were able to paddle happily. The snacks and pineapple during the break were also very delicious, making it a wonderful experience. When we got back, even though I applied sunscreen, my skin turned really red. I felt the intense Hawaiian sun even for just a few hours. Our advice is that you should definitely bring a shirt or jacket that covers your whole body. Otherwise, your skin can get close to a sunburn. I think it would be even more considerate if King Kayak included such advice on their website, which would improve their ratings. I would love to participate again when I visit the Big Island. Thank you very much.

母、妹、主人そして私とカヤック体験しました。
カヤックは初めてでしたが、ケビンさんとノニさんが丁寧に教えてくださり楽しく漕ぐことができました。
休憩時のスナックやパイナップルもとってもおいしくて、とても良い体験ができました。
帰ってきたら日焼け止めを塗っていても肌がまっかになりました。
ほんの数時間でもハワイの熱い太陽を実感しました。
私たちからのアドバイスですが、絶対全身覆えるシャツや上着を持っていくべきです。
そうしないと肌が火傷状態に近くなったりします。
キングカヤックさんのHPでもそのような文面を入れられてるとさらに丁寧で評価も上がると思います。
またハワイ島に行ったときは、参加したいです。

The best moment! 最高のひととき！

Reviewed by: nao

On our honeymoon, we participated in this tour on our first day in Hawaii Island. We arrived at the location, rubbing our sleepy eyes since it was early morning. The moment we got there, we were amazed by the stunning blue ocean that made us forget our sleepiness!

We were greeted by a lovely couple who were our guides. Before we set off, they gave us a clear briefing, and then we headed out into the vast Pacific Ocean! It was a private ocean just for us and the guides.

They mentioned that we might be lucky enough to see dolphins, but unfortunately, we didn't encounter any this time, which was disappointing... However, we were taken to a hidden snorkeling spot where we enjoyed the coral reefs and tropical fish to our heart's content.

Overall, we had a fulfilling time, and it helped us get some exercise, making it a win-win tour!

新婚旅行ではじめてのハワイ島、その初日にこのツアーに参加しました。早朝との事で眠い目をこすりながら現地に到着。その途端、眠気なんて吹っ飛ぶほどの青い海にまず感動！

出発の前に分かりやすくレクチャーしてもらい、いざ太平洋の大海原へ！
あたりは私たちとガイドさんだけのプライベートオーシャン。
運が良ければイルカに会えるらしいですが、この時は会えず、残念・・・
それでも、シュノーケリングの穴場に連れて行ってもらい、サンゴ礁と熱帯魚を満足いくまで楽しむことが出来ました。
とにかく充実した時間を過ごしながら、運動不足も解消され、一石二鳥のツアーでした！

We participated in this tour for our honeymoon. Since it was just the two of us, we could enjoy ourselves at our own pace without worrying about others.

The tips for kayaking were taught very well, and we were able to paddle at a comfortable pace, so we didn't get tired or sore.

The snorkeling had high visibility with plenty of fish, and it was incredibly beautiful. We spent a long time underwater, but our kind guide Kevin was always watching over us without rushing, and he took many photos for us. Since it was our honeymoon, we were happy to receive lots of couple photos.

We were able to see a pod of dolphins and explore a mystical cave, making for a unique experience that could only be done by kayak.

We truly felt rejuvenated by the kind Kevin and the beautiful sea, creating wonderful memories, and we are glad we participated in this tour.

The 2-hour course is just right! 2時間コースがちょうど良い！

Reviewed by: kapietty

I experienced a two-hour course starting at 2 PM. The first hour was kayaking, followed by 30 minutes of snorkeling and 30 minutes of paddleboarding. Kayaking requires a lot of strength and can be surprisingly tiring, so I was quite satisfied with just one hour. Once you head out to sea, it can get quite bumpy, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're not confident. Since it was just the two of us that day, we were able to go at a leisurely pace, which was very enjoyable. I think it's a great course that allows you to experience a variety of activities in just two hours.

午後14時からの2時間コースを体験しました。初めの1時間はカヤック、そのあと30分シュノ―ケリング、30分パドルボードという感じでした。カヤックは力が必要で意外と疲れるので1時間で十分満足でした。沖に出ると結構揺れるので自信の無い方は酔い止めを飲むことをオススメします。この日は自分たち二人だけだったので、のんびりペースで出来とても楽しかったです。
いろいろ体験出来て2時間のちょうど良いコースだと思います。

Canoe surfing was a lot of fun! It is like surfing on a canoe. Our 4 yo and 6 yo kids loved it, too. It does take a lot of effort on the adults part so be prepared to paddle. Our guide was excellet. We had some great conversation while waiting for each set to roll in. It was definitely worth the price for this experience. We did show up when originally scheduled, but the waves weren't big enough so they promised to call us when it would be better to come out. As promised they called us the next morning (they offered a whale watch if the waves weren't good enough before we had to leave). We were glad we re-arranged our schedule to do this. We will probably do it again when we go back.

Big Island Kayaking FUN

Reviewed by: Mark Mazzuca

We enjoyed the Keauhou Kayaking Adventure very much. The Staff was outstanding! They were patient and very capable kayakers. One led while the other stayed in the back for those that were a bit slower. We didn't feel rushed or exhausted, as Walter kept the pace based on the group's abilities. We had some pretty decent swells and were not able to get close to the Sea Cave, but the scenery was still incredible. The snorkeling stop was fun, and the Staff had enough masks/snorkels for everyone. There were some first-timers with our group and there were times when they struggled a bit, but in the parking lot afterwards said they had a great time. The Staff, again, was very patient with them and never made them feel like beginners. We own a kayak, so it was easy for us. . .but you may want to rent once on the mainland (or hotel) before you embark on this one, just to make the whole experience a little easier.

A beautiful blue sea and a gentle instructor. 綺麗な青い海と優しいインストラクター

Reviewed by: いわき

I participated in the first day of my honeymoon trip on September 20th.

It was my first time kayaking, but Noni, the female instructor, kindly taught me in Japanese, and Kevin, the other instructor, created a very enjoyable atmosphere in Japanese as well.

Kayaking while gazing at the beautiful blue sea and magnificent scenery was truly refreshing and an amazing experience!!!

The mystical experience inside the cave was also fantastic.

During snorkeling, we encountered large sea urchins and beautifully colored fish, and we even saw a sea turtle while we were there!! During the break, we dove in, lay on the lava, and took a natural lava bath nap. Above all, the pineapple we had after coming out of the sea was incredibly delicious.

It might require a bit of physical strength, but even beginners can easily kayak. If you are prone to motion sickness, it's definitely better to take some medication beforehand, as it could ruin the fun of the tour... I felt a bit nauseous myself...

On the way back, Noni kindly recommended some delicious restaurants near our hotel ( *^_^* ).

Thank you, Kevin and Noni, for your kind guidance and for providing such a fun experience!!!

9月20日に新婚旅行1日目に参加させていただきました。

初めてのカヤックでしたが、初めに女性のノニさんに日本語で優しく教えていただきインストラクターのケビンさんも、日本語でとても楽しい雰囲気の中参加することができました。

綺麗な青い海や壮大な景色を眺めながらのカヤック。本当に気持ち良くて最高の体験！！！

洞窟の中の神秘的な体験も最高です。

シュノーケリングでは、大きなうにや綺麗な色の魚、私たちが参加した時にはウミガメにも出会うことができました！！
休憩では、ダイブをしたり、溶岩の上で寝転がり天然の溶岩浴でお昼寝。何より海からあがってから頂いたパイナップルがおいしすぎました。

ちょっと体力が必要かな？と思いますが…初めてでも簡単にカヤックができます。乗り物酔いをする方は絶対に酔い止めを飲んでおいたほうがいいです。せっかくの楽しいツアーが台無しになるので…。私はちょっと気持ち悪くなってしまいました…。
帰りはノニさんにホテル近くのおいしいレストランなども教えていただきました（*^_^*）

The feeling of having the ocean all to myself. 海を独り占めした感覚

Reviewed by: tsut-hymg

It was my first time kayaking, but thanks to Nino's careful instruction, I was able to paddle in the ocean with peace of mind. I experienced a sense of liberation and refreshment that I had never felt before.

There was a bit of a struggle with steering, leading to a mini battle between my child and me, but that was also quite fun. I got so into kayaking that I even wanted my own kayak.

The underwater scenery while snorkeling was captivating, resembling a dragon palace, but unfortunately, I got seasick and had to get back on the kayak midway. (I apologize for that, especially since Kevin found the best spot for us...) I am very grateful to Kevin and Nino for their constant encouragement and thoughtful care.

The kids mentioned that they were disappointed we didn't encounter dolphins or sea turtles and that we couldn't experience cliff diving, but instead, we were able to feel the great outdoors, which became a wonderful summer memory. (I believe the decision to skip cliff diving was made out of concern for my health.)

I was very thankful to receive the photos for free after returning home. If the opportunity arises, I would love to participate again.

初めてのカヤックでしたが、ニノさんが丁寧に教えてくれたお蔭で安心して海で漕ぐ事ができました。
今まで経験した事のない解放感と爽快感を味わえました。

若干、舵取りがうまくいかず親子でプチバトルがありましたが、それも何かと楽しいものでした。
ｍｙカヤックが欲しくなったくらいカヤックにはまってしまいました。

シュノーケリングをした海底は、まるで竜宮城のような景色で魅了されましたが、私だけ波酔いをしてしまい途中でカヤックに乗ってしまいました。

ケビンさんとニノさんには、何度も声掛けをして頂き、細かな気遣いをしてくれた事を大変感謝しております。

イルカとホヌに出会えなかった事と、崖からのダイビングが体験できなかった事が残念だったと子供達は言ってましたが代わりに大自然を肌で感じる事が出来大変良い夏の思い出となりました。（崖のダイビングは私の体調不良を気遣ってくれての事だと思います）

帰国後に無料でお写真を送って頂けたのはとてもありがたく思いました。

Reviewed by: mipo

All the guides are advanced Japanese speakers, so there's no need to worry at all if you can't speak any English. After a very clear explanation of how to kayak, paddle, and some precautions, we headed straight to the sea. It was incredibly refreshing.

Everyone else in my group felt a bit seasick, but as soon as we started snorkeling, it seemed to go away. The guide suggested that when you're not feeling well, it's better to get into the water, and once I did, I felt much better right away. I was amazed by the power of nature.

Moreover, guides Kevin and Noni were attentive to our condition and well-being, which made it easy to participate with peace of mind. I think even elderly people can manage this activity without any issues.

The pineapple we ate on the kayak was incredibly delicious. I thought I had never tasted such a delicious fruit before. They also prepared juice, tea, and muffins.

I thought it would be difficult to take photos on the water, but the guide took pictures for us and sent them to our PCs after we returned home, all for free. It was such a delightful service. I must say, the photos turned out great.

This tour is full of hospitality. I highly recommend participating!

ガイドさんは皆、上級の日本語話者なので、英語が全くしゃべれなくても、全く心配いりません。カヤックの乗り方、こぎ方、注意事項をとてもわかりやすい説明の後、早速海へ。
素晴らしく爽快な気分になれました。
私以外、一緒に行った人皆、少し船酔いぎみでしたが、シュノーケルを始めた途端、治ったようです。気分が優れないときは、海に入った方が良いとガイドさんに言われ、入ったら、すぐに良くなったみたいです。大自然の力ってすごいなと思いました。
それに、ガイドのケビンさんも、ノニさんも、こちらの体調や様子をよく見てくださっていて、安心して参加できました。
高齢者の方でも十分いけると思います。
カヤックの上で食べたパイナップルは、最高に美味しかったです。こんなに美味しい果物は食べたことないと思ったほどです。他にも、ジュースやお茶やマフィンなど用意してありました。
海の上ではなかなか写真を撮れないと思っていましたが、ガイドさんが、ちゃんと撮って帰国後、PCに送ってくださいます。もちろん、無料で。とってもうれしいサービスです。自分で言うのもなんですが、かっこよく撮れてました。

My granddaughter (14 yrs old) and I did this kayak snorkeling trip last month (July 27, 2012) and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! We had never kayaked before but had snorkled quite a few times over on Oahu. Our group of 11 included both experienced and novice kayakers. The guides (especially Brent) were helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and especially patient with us newbies. Water visibility was fantastic. We saw an abundance of different fish when we stopped to snorkel and were lucky enough to have a pod of dolphins come within 15 feet of us. That alone made the experience memorable. Water bottles were provided on the kayaks and when we stopped we snacked on drinks, chips and fresh delicious pineapple. I would strongly recommend wearing water shoes/sandals in order to be able to easily climb up to the lava cliff to make the jump. Would I do this snorkeling trip again? In a heartbeat!!!

We had a couple of stops on the trip out, where we learned more about the island and its history. The snorkeling was great. It also provided a sense of how deep the water was, which made jumping off the cliff much easier. The guides provided plenty of refreshments, which made the trip back a little easier. Kayaking does require physical activity, so be prepared and drink water (which they will provide).

I rated the trip 4 stars only because of our guide who was really understanding and encouraging when it came to handling the fact that my daughter's boyfriend could not swim. It was because of our guide, I think his name is Brent, that John became daring enough to snorkel off the kayak and get help getting onto the rocks where he was able to relax a little and enjoy the snacks. The jump off the cliff is scary but fun to brag about afterwards. It was worth it for the experience of paddling a kayak on the open ocean but thank heaven the water wasn't rough when we went!

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'm enjoying the vast ocean! 😊 大海原満喫だぜ～(^^♪

Since it was just the two of us ladies participating, it had been decades since I last entered the ocean, and I was really worried about my physical stamina. However, once we joined, it turned out to be just us and the instructors, Kevin and Noni, so we could truly relax and float in the vast sea.

I was also concerned about my first experience with snorkeling, but somehow I managed to do it well and got to see beautiful fish. We took a lot of photos, which were sent to us via email.

It was truly a wonderful view and a fun experience, creating great memories. Additionally, I was relieved to spend time talking in Japanese with Kevin and Noni, as it was hard to communicate in Hawaii. Thank you very much! (^O^)／ (Participated on 2012/5/13)

おばさん二人での参加だったので、まず海に入ることも何十年振りで、体力的にもとても不安だったけど、いざ参加してみるとインストラクターのケビンさんとノニさんと私たちだけだったので本当に気兼ねなくのんびりと大海原にプカリプカリ。
シュノーケルも初体験に等しく出来るか心配だったけど、何とかうまく出来てきれいな魚たちも見ることが出来ました。
写真もたくさん撮って頂き、メールで送って頂きました。
本当に素晴らしい景色と楽しい体験が出来てとても良い思い出ができました。そして、ケビンさんとノニさんの気さくなお人柄となかなか日本語が通じないハワイ島で唯一日本語でお話出来てホッとした時間が過ごせました！
ありがとうございました(^O^)／　（2012/5/13　参加）

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

Great activity

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We loved the time paddeling the Kayaks it was easy and fun.
The snorkeling was the best!!!

The rock climbing and jumping was great as was the lava tube.

We also saw the dolfins which was great.

My only complaint was we got done too soon. I could have stayed our another 30 minutes at least.
