Reviewed by: ハワイ大好きな　泰さん

I visit the Big Island every year, but this was my first time kayaking. I challenged myself with my wife, who can't swim, and we were kindly taken care of by a Japanese guide. We had a great time kayaking. When we arrived at the snorkeling point, we jumped into the sea while still wearing our life jackets! Even my wife, who can't swim, was able to swim with many beautiful fish. It was wonderful!

毎年行くビッグアイランドですが、初めてのカヤック。泳げない妻とチャレンジ、日本語ガイドさんから親切に面倒見てもらい　カヤックをおもいっきり楽しみました。シュノーケルポイントに到着すると、ライフジャケットを身に着けたまま海へ！泳げない妻でも沢山の綺麗な魚たちと一緒にスイミング　よかったあ！

Reviewed by: ミスター

During my first visit to the Big Island, I participated in two sightseeing tours and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the island. While searching for memorable activities, I discovered this sea kayaking tour. Indeed, the views from the water are something you can't fully appreciate without experiencing them firsthand. While on the water, I was welcomed by a pod of dolphins, which was a memorable experience. The photos taken during the tour also serve as wonderful memories.

今回、初訪問のビッグアイランドで、２つの観光ツアーに参加して、一通り島内観光を満喫したので、何か思い出に残るアクティビティを探していたところ、このシーカヤック ツアーを発見しました。やはり、陸上からだけではなく、海の上から眺める景色は、体験してみないとわからないものです。海上では、イルカの群れの歓迎を受けることが出来て、思い出深い経験でした。撮影していただいたツアー中の写真も、良い思い出として残っています。

First Sea Kayaking Experience 初めてのシーカヤック

Reviewed by: tanotabis

I had gone kayaking once on a lake, but it was my first time in the ocean, so I was a bit worried. However, with the excellent guidance from Kevin and Noni, I was able to paddle smoothly without veering off course, and getting back into the kayak from the ocean was also seamless. I was thrilled to successfully navigate through the underwater cave as well. While enjoying the leisurely kayaking and snorkeling, with explanations about the surrounding scenery, I didn't even end up with sore muscles. It was the best experience!

湖で1回カヤックをしたことがありましたが、海では初めてで少し心配でした。でもKevinさんとノニさんの指導が良く、曲がらずに楽に漕げたし、海からカヤックに上がるのもスムーズに出来、海中洞窟からバックするのもうまく出来て、うれしかった。周りの景色の説明を受けながら、のんびりカヤックとシュノーケルが出来て、筋肉痛にもならずに、最高でした。

First Kayaking Experience 初めてのカヤック体験

Reviewed by: ERI

On the third day of my stay at Sheraton Kona Resort, I signed up for the morning kayak experience! The session was originally scheduled for 9 AM, but it was changed to 7 AM due to the wave conditions, so I walked a few minutes to the meeting point. It was just the two of us Japanese guests, and our guide Noni was very kind and thorough in his instructions, and off we went!

You can put your belongings in a waterproof bag that you can borrow, but I wouldn't recommend bringing too much. Paddling the canoe while basking in the morning sun is wonderful, but sunglasses and a hat are essential due to the strong sunlight.

Paddling a considerable distance uses a lot of energy, but the wide, beautiful ocean and the refreshing breeze of nature without any noise are very pleasant. Even those who can't swim can float around with a life jacket while snorkeling, and there are lots of cute black and yellow fish, which is very soothing.

I panicked for a moment when I looked up and couldn't see the canoe, so it's important to be careful not to get too absorbed (laughs). Along the way, Noni shared some pineapple and chocolate muffins with us. Food tastes even better when eaten on the water.

Finally, Noni had a wonderful system where he emailed us various photos he had taken during the tour. I highly recommend this tour!

シェラトンコナリゾートで滞在して3日目にカヤック体験午前の部に参加申し込みしました！
9時からの体験でしたが、波の状態をみて7時からに変更になり、徒歩数分で待ち合わせ場所へ。
日本人私たち2人だけの貸し切りで担当のノニさんが親切丁寧に教えてくださり、いざ出発！
持ち物はお借りした防水バックに入れられますが、あまり多くは持ち込めないかと…。朝日を浴びながらカヌーを漕いで日差しが強いのでサングラスと帽子は必須。
結構な距離を漕いで体力使いますが、広くて綺麗な海と騒音の無い大自然の風が心地よい。
シュノーケルもライフジャケットを着てるので泳げない人でもプカプカ浮きながら黒や黄色の可愛い魚が沢山いて、これまた癒されます。
顔を上げたときにカヌーが見当たらなくて一瞬焦り、夢中になりすぎるのも要注意(笑)
途中、ノニさんがパイナップルとチョコマフィンのお裾分け。海の上で食べるものは、より美味しく感じます。
最後、ノニさんがいつ撮ってたのか色々な写真をメールで送ってくれるシステムがとても素晴らしかった♪
是非オススメしたいツアーです！

Reviewed by: コウキ

It was our first experience as a couple approaching our sixties. I was a bit worried about everything being in English, but it was a great help that another participant, a Japanese person with good English skills, acted as an interpreter. We paddled quite a distance along the quay. Along the way, we encountered wild dolphins—what a lucky surprise! They were swimming right in front of us, and it was astonishing. At the turnaround point, we landed and went snorkeling. The yellow fish were beautiful, and there were plenty of sea urchins. The waves were a bit rough, making the kayaking thrilling, but during calm times, it seems like it would be a relaxing experience.

還暦手前の夫婦での初体験でした。
すべてが英語の案内でどうなることかと思いましたが、他の参加者に英語力のある日本人に通訳していただき大変助かりました。結構な距離を岸壁沿いにこいでいきました。途中で野生のイルカ達と遭遇　ラッキーでした。目の前にわんさかウジャウジャって感じでビックリ。折り返し地点で上陸して、シュノーケリング。黄色い魚がきれいでした。雲丹もいっぱいいました。波がややあったのでスリルありのカヤックでしたが、穏やかな時はのんびりと楽しめそうです。

First time kayaking. 初めてカヤック

Reviewed by: Ｎ．Ｙ

The weather on the day was mostly cloudy with some sunny intervals, which I think was just perfect for kayaking on the sea. It was my first time kayaking, but the boarding instructions were explained carefully in Japanese, and although the main guide was a foreigner, there was a Japanese support staff present, which made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy the experience. The kayak was a two-person one, and the person sitting in the back becomes the leader, so they might have to paddle more often. It felt great to glide over the sea while feeling the wind. The snorkeling was also delightful, as I found the fish swimming around to be quite cute.

当日は晴れ間の多い曇りっぽいお天気で、海の上でのカヤックにはちょうど良いお天気だったように思います。はじめてのカヤックでしたが乗車の説明など日本語で丁寧に説明していただき、メインガイドの方は外国人の方でしたが、サポートに日本人の方がいらして下さったので安心して楽しむことができました。カヤックは二人乗りのもので後ろに乗る方がリーダーになるので漕ぐ回数が多いのかも？しれません。海の上をすべるようにカヤックが進む感じは風を感じながら気持ちよかったです。シュノーケリングもお魚が泳ぐ姿がかわいかったです。

I was a bit anxious about having a guide in English, but they demonstrated everything from how to paddle the kayak to how to get in and out. They communicated with gestures, so I hardly had to use English at all.

From the meeting point at the port, we paddled the kayak for about an hour until we reached the snorkeling point, where we had a light snack (like crackers). After enjoying snorkeling for about 40 minutes, we paddled back to the port. It was a lot of fun.

One challenge was finding the meeting place, but in the end, it was at the port in front of the public restroom (the place to launch the kayak).

Kayaking requires quite a bit of physical strength! カヤックは体力がかなり必要です！

Reviewed by: あろはミッキー

I arrived early, but along the road, there were locals fishing, and I could only park one car at a distance. When we gathered near the sign at 6:40 AM, we were asked to sign the usual disclaimer stating that they do not guarantee anything and that we are responsible for ourselves.

After that, there was a brief explanation of kayaking, some stretching exercises, and the distribution of life jackets before we quickly entered the sea. There were five of us in total, but without any options, two-person kayaks were provided. Some participants were paired with a guide.

As someone in my 40s and this being my second kayaking experience, I found it challenging to make progress once we were out in the open sea due to the waves, and I kept getting left behind. If you're going on a tour that takes you into a cave, I think you need to be quite prepared for a significant distance to kayak.

In the morning, Mount Farahrai was clearly visible, and the scenery was absolutely stunning. After kayaking, we returned and were lent snorkeling sets, but it felt like we were just told to explore the bay on our own, which isn't suitable for beginners. There weren't many fish, and the water depth was about 5 meters, which was disappointing.

At night, manta rays come to the same spot. The explanation was given by a Japanese woman, but her condescending attitude left a less than favorable impression. The tour was short, ending by 8:30.

早めに到着しましたが、道路沿いは釣りをしている地元の方か、車が止められず離れた場所に一台ギリギリ駐車できました。
早朝6:40に看板の下付近に集合すると、おきまりの保証しません、自己責任ですのサインをさせられます。
その後簡単なカヤックの説明、体操、ライフジャケットの貸し出しがありすぐに海に入ります。全員で5名でしたが、希望もなく二人乗りのカヤックが用意されていました。ガイドとの同乗の方もいました。
40代でカヤック二回目ですが、海の沖にでると波もありなかなか進まないためどんどん置いていかれてしまいます。
洞窟の中まで行くツアーの場合はかなりの距離をカヤックで移動するので相当の覚悟が必要だと思います。
朝はファラライ山がくっきりとキレイに見えて景色は最高に良かったです。
カヤックが終わると一度もどりシュノーケルセットを貸し出してもらい勝手に湾内へどうぞという感じのため初心者には向きません。
魚もあまりおらず、水深も5mくらいはあるためがっかりでした。
夜は同じ場所にマンタが来ます。

Our party of 7 had an absolutely fantastic adventure on our sea cave kayak and snorkeling trip. Devon, our guide, was really knowledgeable and very fun to be with. He was very helpful and made everyone feel very comfortable and at ease.

We had a great time kayaking (about 30 minutes out and 30 minutes back), swimming, snorkeling, and even jumping off of a cliff. The visit to the sea cave was also very neat.

We feel like we had 4 different excursions between the kayaking, cliff jumping, snorkeling and swimming, and the sea cave.

We would highly recommend this trip. It turned out to be one of the highlights of our 10 days in Kona.

Depends on skill level

Reviewed by: Anonymous

We did not have the best experience, but I think it's based more on our skill level than the tour itself. If you're not in good shape (physically fit) it can be difficult. Make sure you use sunscreen ahead of time. The instructions when we signed up said that you would be provided reef safe sunscreen, however, that was not offered. The rocks are difficult to climb up on and if you don't have proper foot wear you can be easily injured. I think the tour is probably great for more "fit" people... We don't know because we left halfway through. I would stress that there is risk involved in this activity and life jackets are provided but not mandatory (in my opinion should be mandatory).

Reviewed by: AKG

The marine activity introduced in the program "Ariyoshi's Summer Vacation" was truly enjoyable. The handsome guide who appeared on the show supported us during the experience.

On the day I participated, there were two groups, making a total of five people: a nice guy as the guide, two Japanese men, and two foreign women. We gathered at the meeting point at 9 AM. The office isn't located on the beach at Keauhou Bay; instead, they transport the kayaks using a pickup truck and trailer. We headed towards a general location, and if we were unsure, there were offices of other activity tour companies nearby where we could show our voucher and kindly ask for directions.

In the program, it seemed that the waves were too high to enter the caves, but on the day I participated, we were able to experience everything without any issues. We even got to dive from a considerable height of cliffs, which made the activity feel incredibly fulfilling.

After the tour, I was invited to lunch, but I had other plans for the afternoon, so I declined. However, I think I would have enjoyed it if I had gone.

When getting out of the water during snorkeling, there were times when the waves pulled us back, causing some scrapes and cuts on the lava rocks. One of my companions actually got a small cut on their finger and foot. I recommend bringing not only marine shoes but also marine gloves.

有吉の夏休み、という番組でも紹介されたマリンアクティビティ。まさに、その時番組に出てた男前ガイドさんがサポートしてくれました。

午前9時に現地集合。ケアウホウ湾のビーチにオフィスがあるわけではなく、ピックアップトラックとトレーラーにカヤックを載せて運んでくるスタイル。だいたいの場所を目指して行き、わからなければ他のアクティビティツアー会社の事務所があるので、バウチャーを見せて聞けば親切に案内していただけました。
番組では、波が高く洞窟には入れなかったようですが、私の参加した日は問題なくすべて体験できました。相当な高さのクリフからもダイブすることが出来、アクティビティのやった感は半端ないです。
ツアー終了後にランチに誘われましたが、午後からの予定を別に組んでいたためお断りしましたが、行っても楽しめただろうな～。
シュノーケリングから岩場に上がる際、波の引き戻しで溶岩の岩場で擦り傷切り傷を負うことがあり、実際に同行者が指と足を少しだけ切りました。マリンシューズだけでなくマリングローブの持参がお勧めです。

Thanks to the first day of Golden Week, we were lucky to have the place to ourselves and could paddle at our own pace.

Both of us were complete beginners at kayaking, but we were taught very carefully, and their Japanese was excellent, which made us feel at ease.

We were able to enjoy snorkeling at a leisurely pace without feeling rushed until we were satisfied. They even provided us with food, which attracted a lot of fish.

However, despite the cloudy sky, I ended up getting a good sunburn, so I recommend applying plenty of sunscreen.

Kayaking adventure for sure!

Reviewed by: Laurie

Overall, a beautiful adventure on the ocean. A few comments:

1 - waiting area prior to launching kayaks is full of mosquitoes and my children received many bites
2 - if you are not with a partner and have to go in a single kayak vs. tandem, know this is extra work as simply you don't have 4 arms paddling :-)
3 - the resting spot before heading back to the boat dock requires you to "climb" up a volcanic rock to have your snack/water - make sure you have proper water/outdoor shoes on as you will need that traction to climb up and then walk amongst the rocks; this applies to attire as well as my girls had bikini bottoms on and it was difficult to sit on the rocks with just their bikini bottoms and no towels etc (we did not know we would be stopping at that rock nor climbing up it so hence did not bring anything)
4 - this adventure is going up and back from the boat dock vs. being picked up after a one way paddle

However, the sea was a bit rough, and we didn't snorkel at the original spot, but I trusted the professional's judgment. I highly recommend the tour, but the guide's personality was the best part!

子供と二人で参加しました。
ガイドさんがとても親切　日本語もすごく上手で安心して参加出来ました。
イルカの群れにも遭遇し　洞窟もみて満足です　ただ海が少し荒れていて
シュノーケルは本来の場所ではなかったんですが　プロの判断を信頼できました。
ツアーもおすすめなんですが　ガイドさんの人柄が最高でした！
