Fun few hours kayaking and snorkeling with Natasha and Sho. Our guides looked after us and had good knowledge of the area. We even managed to see dolphins on our way back to shore which was an added bonus.

The guide provided a very thorough lecture, allowing even beginners to participate with confidence. The highlight, the underwater cave, was truly overwhelming! It was an experience that can only be enjoyed here. Along the way, we encountered dolphins, which was a delightful surprise, making it the best memory. The pineapple snack was delicious too!
ガイドの方がとても丁寧にレクチャーしていただき、初心者でも安心して参加することができました。最大の見どころの海中洞窟は、その迫力に圧倒!ここでしか味わえない体験でした。途中、イルカに遭遇したりとサプライズも飛び出し、最高の思い出になりました。おやつのパイナップルも美味しかったです!

If you like kayaking and snorkeling, this is a great trip! The tour guide was very informative and actually took pictures for everyone on the trip. It was a smaller size group which was perfect for this kind of excursion. The snorkeling stops were great. The only thing is it is hard to get on and off kayaks when on the water! I fell off once when trying to take off my shorts. I want to do this one again when I go back.

It was kayaking and snorkeling at Keauhou Bay. The weather was nice, the sea was calm, and most importantly, the two guides were very kind, allowing us to participate in the tour with peace of mind from start to finish. The fact that both guides could speak Japanese also added to our sense of security! We kayaked to a sea cave and enjoyed snorkeling at a spot with beautiful coral and plenty of fish. I think it's a great tour to experience the nature of the Big Island. I'm glad I could participate!
ケアウホウ湾でのカヤックとシュノーケリングでした。
当日はお天気も良く海も穏やかで、何よりガイドさんのお二人がとても親切で最初から最後まで安心してツアーに参加できました。
ガイドさんお二人とも日本語でお話できるというのも安心感が増しました!
カヤックで海中洞窟へ行き、珊瑚がとてもきれいでお魚もたくさんいるポイントでシュノーケリングを楽しみました。
ハワイ島の自然を感じられるとても良いツアーだと思います。

Such a generous tourguide, that Roy! Shared countless stories with us, snorkeled and showed us his favorite spots, brought us great treats, and most importantly treated us to a marvelous afternoon of kayaking and snorkeling at this remote spot of Hawaii.

We challenged ourselves to kayaking for the first time as a group of four, and it was great to set off in a tandem kayak. However, it felt like we had to paddle hard to avoid being pushed back by the waves, so I'm glad we weren't in single kayaks. One person did get seasick and had to take a break at the snorkeling point, and after that, they had to give up halfway! Everyone, don't forget to take motion sickness medication! Even though I took it beforehand, if you're not feeling well, please don't push yourself.
4人で初めてカヤックに挑戦、二人乗り用のカヤックに乗り出発したのは良いですが
盛漕ぎしないと波に戻される感じで、一人乗りじゃなくて良かったです
しかし一人波に酔ってしまいシュノーケルポイントで少しやすんで
その後半分断念! 皆さん酔い止め忘れずに!
でもちゃんと飲んで行ったんですが体調悪い時は、無理しないで下さいね

It turned into a private tour for just one group in the afternoon. Due to the effects of the recent hurricane, there were some waves, and since there were two beginners over sixty, we didn't push ourselves with kayaking or snorkeling. Still, it was enjoyable to paddle and swim on our own, and we were able to see sea urchins, sea cucumbers, and beautiful fish. Kevin was fluent in Japanese and took a lot of photos for us. Afterward, we were able to change at a nearby restroom and took the trolley bus back to our hotel in Kona. Since there was no bus in the 4 PM slot, we waited at the Sheraton Hotel while having tea. If you're worried about seasickness, changing clothes, or managing money, it might be good to inquire beforehand. It's better not to rely too much on information from the internet. If I have another opportunity, I would like to join an early morning tour and enjoy kayaking and snorkeling to the fullest.
午後からの1グループだけのプライベートツアーになりました。先日来のハリケーンの影響?で少し波があり、還暦過ぎの初心者2人でしたから、カヤックもシュノーケリングも無理をしませんでした。それでも、自分で漕ぐ、泳ぐのが楽しくて、ウニやナマコ、きれいな魚をみることができました。ケビンさんは日本語が堪能で、写真もたくさんとってもらいました。終了後は、近くのトイレで着替えることもでき、トロリーバスに乗ってコナのホテルに帰りました。4時台のバスがなかったので、シェラトンホテルでお茶をして時間待ちしました。船酔い、着替え、金銭管理など不安なら問い合わせるとよいかもしれません。ネットの情報を信用しすぎないほうがよいです。また機会があったら、早朝からのツアーに参加して、ゆっくり、めいっぱい、カヤックとシュノーケリングを楽しみたいです。

It was a very short trip and we only saw 1 cave and a very small one. The guide was great, however due to the approaching hurricane he said that it was not save going further. I'm not an expert on weather, but the waters/wind did not change for the entire time we were there. If I would've known what it was going to be, I would've prefer they had cancelled the trip and we would have either planned for another day or received our refund.

We visited the Big Island for our honeymoon and participated in this tour with my wife. We were taught the basics of kayaking and then set out to sea! It was a fantastic location with a pleasant breeze, and we were able to paddle gracefully, which made us very satisfied! However, perhaps due to several days of sleep deprivation, my wife started to feel seasick about 20 minutes into paddling... We paddled quite a distance, so I was very happy, but for my wife, it was a time of endurance, haha. I have snorkeled at the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, and I remember being very disappointed because the wind was strong and the water was murky, but the waters around the Big Island were incredibly clear, allowing us to see all the way to the bottom. There were plenty of fish swimming around, and there were corals as well, making for an amazing snorkeling experience. However, by the time I got back on the kayak, I was also feeling seasick... It was a very fun tour, but if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication before participating.
新婚旅行でハワイ島を訪れ、このツアーに妻と二人で参加しました。カヤックの簡単な漕ぎ方を教えていただきいざ海へ!最高のロケーションと心地よい風の中優雅にカヤックを漕げて大満足!しかし、連日の睡眠不足がたたったか漕ぎ始めて20分ほどで妻が船酔いに・・・。結構な距離を漕ぎますので私は大満足だったのですが、妻にとっては我慢の時間帯でした笑私はオーストラリアのグレートバリアリーフでシュノーケリングしたことがありますが、風が強く海も濁っていてとても残念だった記憶があるのですが、ハワイ島の海はとても綺麗で海の底まではっきりと見え、魚もたくさん泳いでおり、さらにサンゴもいて感動のシュノーケリングになりました。ただ泳ぎ疲れてカヤックに乗ったころには私も船酔いに・・・。とても楽しかったツアーでしたが、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲まれて参加されたほうがいいかもしれません。

The guides were lovely and we saw dolphins! It could not have been more fun. We went as a family with my 60-year old parents and my 7-year old son. All had fun. There was snorkeling in a lovely cove, along with cliff diving and fresh pineapple. The only thing I wished I'd known was that we don't actually take the boats on shore for picnic time. My mom wasn't wanting to swim so ended up hanging out in the kayak. She still had fun watching the dolphins and cliff diving, though. I highly recommend the experience.

My family visits the Hawaiian islands every summer and we've been on many tours. This particular event was very personalized and was one of the best we've been on over the years. The guide was very personable, he took us off track when dolphins showed up so we could snorkel near them. It was clear the guide was thoroughly enjoying himself, which made the trip enjoyable for all who were there. The guide even gave up his own shoes to a person who didn't bring a pair. Highly recommend this trip!

Kevin and Noni at King Kayak did a fabulous job of getting us out on the water. We had a group of four, ranging from 10 to 80 years old, and they kept the trip interesting, and low-impact. We got to see some spinner dolpins, enter a sea cave, snorkel in a pristine location, and jump off of cliffs into the crystal-blue waters of the bay. They took photos of us free of charge. It was a great adventure for all!

Absolutely fantastic. Our two guides were extremely knowledgeable about the Island and told us things that you would only get on a tour. The kayaking was a blast and we had visibility to 100 feet. We went kayaking into a sea cave and were also able to snorkel there as well. We saw many fish, urchins, and even an eel in a tidal pond that our guide took us to. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to cross off their bucket list, kayaking across the bay/ocean, seeing ancient tombs, and being face to face with God's wonderful creation of the Island.

Since I was staying at the Sheraton near Keauhou Bay, it was easy to get around, and because it was an early morning tour, I was able to spend my time meaningfully. Although I didn't encounter any dolphins or sea turtles, kayaking was a fun experience that I don't often get to do. Compared to Oahu, the water was very clear and beautiful. Viewing the Big Island from the sea was interesting as I could feel the volcanic rock formations and the lush greenery.
ケアウホウ湾近くの、シェラトンに宿泊していたため、移動が楽で、早朝ツアーということもあり、時間を有意義に過ごせました。イルカやウミガメには出会えませんでしたが、カヤックを漕ぐことが、普段なかなかできない体験なので楽しかったです。オアフ島と比較して、海もとても澄んでいて綺麗でした。海の上からハワイ島を見ると火山性の岩の地形や、緑の自然を感じられて面白かったです。

We participated as a family of four, including my parents and my 5-year-old son. Fortunately, we had a private tour just for our family. Since my son wasn't feeling well the day after we arrived on the Big Island, we were able to change the usual course and enjoyed kayaking in the nearby bay area. They were very considerate, and my parents even tried snorkeling, which seemed to make them very happy. I would love to participate again if there’s another opportunity.

We were looking forward to this as the best part of our vacation, but we're very disappointed. We arrived at the dock area, and out guide told us it might be a little cold and windy out but that it would not affect our tour of we still wanted to go out. We decided to go, and kayaked a mile and a half through very choppy waters. Exhausted by the time we reached the sea caves, our guide turns to us and tells us it is too rough to do any other part of the tour and we have to turn back. We ate the snacks they had packed and paddled back. No refund offered and no one let us know before hand that we would not get to do half the tour. The guide was very nice, but there should be some sort of refund policy if only a partial refund....
