Great day in Hawaii

Reviewed by: Michael and Emily

Very professional and safety conscious organization. The kayaking was fantastic! They spent time with the beginners to help them feel comfortable and let those with some experience go at their pace also. Ben and Noni were our guides and they were very knowledgeable, took us to a beautiful snorkeling place, dove down a grabbed things off the bottom for us to see and led us to a great sea cave. Do this one day while you are in Hawaii!!!

I met Kevin for the first time in six years, and once again, I was able to enjoy kayaking comfortably. I was able to enter "Dragon's Throat," which I couldn't do before due to high waves, and the tour photos are a wonderful keepsake. I'm looking forward to participating again.

ケビンさんとは6年ぶりにお会いしましたが、今回も気持ちよくカヤックを楽しむことができました。以前は波が高くてはいれなかった「竜ののど」にもはいれましたし、ツアーの写真はとてもよい記念です。また参加できることを楽しみにしています。

Hawaii Sunset Cruise

Our cruise was very enjoyable, short though, didn't take long for the sun to go down. The boats captain was very friendly, knowledgeable, and did his best show us the sights in the area, but once the sun is gone, not much more to see after that. All-in-all we enjoyed our outing very much. Any day on the water is a good day.

Kayak Tour

Reviewed by: Belle

The location was beautiful at Captain Cook. I enjoyed the kayaking. However, I was not too impressed with the tour guide. My daughter and I were the only people on the tour. The female tour guide lacked in friendliness and almost seemed irritated at the beginning and the end of the tour. She also complained a lot about men and her personal life.

The tour conductor was a couple, with a husband who spoke Japanese well and a Japanese wife. Since it was a tour just for our couple and our friends' couple, they adjusted to our pace. The kayak had a high backrest that provided good support for the waist, making it easy to paddle. It was wonderful to encounter cute dolphins. The wife took photos for us, and I look forward to them later.

ツアーコンダクターは日本語の上手なご主人と日本人の奥様のご夫婦でした。友人夫婦と私達夫婦だけのツアーでしたので、私達達のペースに合わせていただきました。カヤックの背当てが高く、しっかり腰をガードいてくれるカヤックでしたので、楽に漕ぐことができました。可愛いイルカと遭遇しとても良かったです。写真も奥様がとってくれて、後日楽しみです

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: ハワイアン

We, as a couple, enjoyed ourselves at our own pace with only the two of us participating. The sea kayaking, with no other boats nearby, offered breathtaking views and was truly wonderful. The snorkeling was more beautiful than I expected; I was considering diving in Hawaii, but I was completely satisfied with just snorkeling. However, I had read in reviews that photos would be taken, but we didn't receive any, and although it mentioned light snacks, nothing was provided. Kevin's stories were enjoyable, making for a great day.

参加者は私達夫婦のみでマイペースに楽しませてもらいました。他に船も近くにいない中でのシーカヤックは絶景で本当に素敵でした。またシュノーケリングは思った以上に美しく、ハワイでダイビングをしようか悩んでいましたがシュノーケリングだけで大満足でした。ただ、写真を撮って頂けるような事を口コミでみていたのですが一枚もなく、また軽食と書かれていたのに何もついてきませんでした。ケビンさんのお話も楽しく良い日になりました。

disapointing..

Reviewed by: Julia and Pat

To start, the water was pretty rough, they should have considered canceling. Of the 7 people in our group, 2 got sick. We were unable to go ashore at all because the ocean was so rough, and with my parents in the group there was no way they could get back in the kayak from the water if they were to have gotten out to snorkel. All we did was paddle out to the sea caves, which we couldn't enter due to rough water, and paddle back. It was a short, disappointing trip. They did offer for us to take rental kayaks out later in the week, however that didn't fit into our schedule.

This tour started out great. Once we were into the waters, we were told we won't be able to snorkel or go into the caves due to the water being to choppy..

Had a great trip celebrated turning 60 that day would kayak again though the rowing is strenuous. Augustine was my life saver as he helped me back in the kayak when my husband & I tipped over, that was the scariest thing. The two most helpful words were "don't panic" as I was starting to do just that but those words calmed me down. Augustine even retrieved my sunglasses which went 2o' deep. After snorkeling I could not get back in the kayak just don't have the upper body strength though I lift weights 4x's a week.

I had a great time! とても楽しかったです！

Reviewed by: misako

It was my first time kayaking, but I had a wonderful half-day guided by Noni and Kevin. I enjoyed kayaking, snorkeling in the beautiful sea, and relaxing on the lava rocks, fully experiencing the great nature of the Big Island. They also took photos during the tour, and I received all the data shortly afterward. It's often the case that photos taken during trips are sold at high prices, but in this tour, I felt that they were genuinely guiding us to enjoy kayaking without any such concerns. The personalities of the two guides were truly wonderful. Since it was a water activity, I chose this tour with a Japanese guide for safety, and it was definitely the right choice.

I participated from Mauna Lani, so the meeting point was a bit far, but I still felt it was worth it. Don't forget your rash guard, hat, and sunscreen as the sun is strong!

シーカヤックは初めてでしたが、ノニさんケヴィンさんの案内で楽しい半日を過ごすことができました。とてもきれいな海でのカヤック、シュノーケル、そして溶岩のうえでの岩盤浴とハワイ島の大自然を満喫できました。ツアー中は写真も撮ってくださり、後日すぐに全てのデータもいただけました。旅行中に撮ってもらう写真は販売目的で高額なことになることが多いですが、このツアーではそのようなことがなく、純粋にカヤックを楽しむためのガイドをしてくれていると感じました。ガイドのお二人の人柄がとても素晴らしいです。海でのアクティビティなので、安全を考えて日本語ガイドであるこのツアーを選びましたが大正解でした。

マウナ・ラニからの参加でしたので、集合場所までは少し距離がありましたが、それをもってしても参加してよかったと思えます。

Thank you, Kevin and Noni, for your support.
The OP tour in Hawaii left the biggest impression on me.
I have experienced various tours before, but none of them were particularly moving. However, this time, the kayaking, snorkeling, and paddleboarding were absolutely perfect.
First of all, the beauty of the ocean was remarkable, and it was a significant difference compared to Oahu, which was truly moving.
Additionally, the program was just right for me and my wife to experience together, and above all, we were very satisfied with the attentive service from the two instructors.
It seems that Kevin and Noni have other plans as well, so I would love to rely on you again next time.
Thank you very much.

We participated as a couple.

It was our first sea kayaking experience, and I didn't expect it to be this much fun!!!

The weather was great, the sea was blue and calm, the water was clear, and the scenery was amazing!
I quickly got used to using the paddle and steering, but since the kayak sways quite a bit, I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some anti-nausea medication beforehand.

During snorkeling, we were able to see many beautiful fish and corals. My wife, who was experiencing this for the first time, seemed to enjoy herself safely while wearing a life jacket.

Our guides, Kevin and Noni, were very attentive and made the experience enjoyable! The ripe pineapple we had at the end was incredibly sweet and delicious.

I definitely want to participate again!!!

夫婦で参加しました。

初めてのシーカヤック体験でしたが、こんなに楽しいものだとは思いませんでした!!!

天気も良かったので、海は青くて穏やかで、水は透明、景色も最高！
パドルの使い方や操船にもすぐに慣れましたが、カヤックはかなり揺れるので
乗り物酔い・船酔いしやすい方は、酔い止めを飲んでおくのが良いかと思います。

シュノーケリングでは、たくさんの美しい魚やサンゴを眺めることができました。
初体験だった妻もライフジャケット着用で、安心して遊べたようです。

The sea kayaking was amazing. シーカヤック最高でした

Reviewed by: tetsu

Last year and this year, I visited the Big Island of Hawaii for two consecutive years. Last year, I went to Volcano National Park, but this year I challenged myself with sea kayaking and snorkeling in Keauhou. It was just the two of us and our three elementary school children, and we were able to have a private party, which allowed us to fully enjoy at our own pace. The morning sky and sea were richer and more vivid than those in Japan, and the sea breeze felt amazing while kayaking. The sea caves themselves are a natural wonder, and while they are impressive, my actual impression was just okay. Additionally, getting there was a bit hard for our young children, but the sea kayaking itself was a lot of fun. We didn't see any honu (sea turtles) or dolphins while snorkeling, but the water was very clear and beautiful. Although I'm not a poor swimmer, I had three children with me (I was responsible for two), and since it was their first time snorkeling in the deep open sea, I decided to wear a life jacket just in case. However, the current was quite strong, making it difficult to swim, which ended up exhausting my already limited stamina. So, for those who can swim a bit, a life jacket might not be necessary. But the staff, Noni and Kevin, were very kind and friendly, which made the experience really great. Thank you, Noni and Kevin!

昨年、今年と2年連続でハワイ島に行きましたが、昨年はvolcano国立公園に行ったのですが、今年はケアウホウでシーカヤックとシュノーケリングにチャレンジしました。夫婦2人に小学生3人の私たちでしたが、私たちだけのpartyにしていただき、本当に自分たちのペースでフルにエンジョイできました。朝早くの空と海は日本のそれよりもそれぞれに濃く鮮烈で、カヤックの上で体感する海風は最高でした。海中洞窟自身は自然の産物でそれはそれなりにすごいものの、実際の感想はまあまあです。さらに、結構そこまで行くのが小学校低学年の子供連れにはいささかハード（父親50がきつかっただけか？）ではありましたが、シーカヤックそのものがすごく楽しかったです。シュノーケリンではホヌ（ウミガメ）やイルカには会えませんでしたが、透明度は高く、非常に美しいものでした。私自身は泳ぎは不得手ではないものの、子供が3人おり（私の担当は2人でしたが）、3人が完全な深い外海でのシュノーケリングは初めてだったので、もしものことを考えてライフジャケットを着用したのですが、結構海流が速いので抵抗が強く、かえって泳ぎにくく、その結果、結構もともと少ない体力を消耗させる結果となったので、すこしでも泳げる人はラフジャケットは不要かもしれません。でもスタッフのノニさんとケビンさんは非常に親切でやさしくfriendryであったので、とってもよかったです。ノニさん、ケビンさんありがとうございました。

We chose this tour because of the Japanese guide. On the day of the tour, we were the only participants, so it felt like a private experience♪

One of my friends seemed to get seasick from kayaking, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to it. Also, it gets quite sunny, so having a hat, sunglasses, and a rash guard would be a good idea.

Despite feeling sick, my friend said kayaking was really fun and expressed a desire to join again.

I had such a great time. The beautiful sea of Hawaii Island was so healing. Thank you, Kevin and Noni! I really appreciate your help.

On the day of our trip, the sea was rough after the hurricane, so we decided to cancel the underwater cave exploration for safety and to consider our stamina. Instead, we enjoyed kayaking and snorkeling. As soon as I dove into the water while snorkeling, I was thrilled to see a school of needlefish swimming right in front of me. The underwater world is truly a different realm. It was amazing to see a world that I had only ever seen on television right before my eyes.

At one point, my wife got seasick while kayaking, so we split into two groups for the second half: the men went back out to the open sea with Kevin, while the women had a lovely time with Noni. Although we couldn't do the cliff jump that we were looking forward to, Noni quickly came up with a plan to jump from the dock in the bay! Every time I look at the photos you sent, I vividly remember that moment, and my whole family had a truly satisfying time.

But I still want to go to the underwater cave, so I declare that I will participate again next time. Mahalo!

途中、妻がカヤック酔いでダウンした為、後半は男性陣、女性陣に別れ、男性陣はケビンさんと再度大海原へ。最後までカヤックとシュノーケリングを楽しみました。女性陣はノニさんと女子会に花が咲いた様です。また、楽しみにしていたクリフジャンプも出来ませんでしたが、急遽ノニさんが機転を利かせてくれて湾の桟橋？からジャンプ！送っていただいた写真を見るたびに、鮮明に当時の様子が思い出され家族全員、本当に大満足の時間を過ごせました。

We participated with our sixth-grade child and as a couple. I was a bit anxious since I had only kayaked a few times for fun before, but our guides, Kevin and Noni, taught us patiently. Unlike the kayaks I had used before, this one had excellent straight-line stability, allowing us to enjoy kayaking safely and comfortably. At the snorkeling point, they provided various explanations about the waters of the Big Island, which were very informative. Unlike the seas in Japan, the untouched nature here allowed us to observe various marine life when we carefully looked underwater. There was a slight current, but Kevin supported us from the kayak while Noni assisted us from the water, so we felt secure enjoying snorkeling even with our child. Thank you very much. Since it was my first time kayaking, the two-hour experience was just the right amount of time, and I feel encouraged to join a longer tour next time.

It was very disappointing (tears). とっても残念でした（涙）

Reviewed by: マッピー

The kayak experience that my child was really looking forward to. I had communicated that we are not fluent in English. Of course, being with an 8-year-old child... While I couldn't understand the explanations in English, it wasn't our first experience, so we understood how to paddle and participated. After the explanations, we started paddling, but after just a few dozen meters, our family fell behind. A person who seemed to be the leader came close and asked in English (You have to paddle a long distance, but are you okay?). Since it wasn't my child's first experience, I thought we could manage as we got used to it, and I repeated the words (try, challenge) several times, but perhaps they wanted us to turn back, as they wouldn't let us proceed. We decided to turn back. Then, as if they had been waiting, the staff was there and said, (Oh, your stomach hurts, poor thing). It was my first time on the Big Island, and I regretted visiting with a Honolulu mindset. I felt deceived because such things were not mentioned in the tour description, which left me with an unpleasant feeling. After that, I asked them to call a taxi, but they said something like (I don't know). However, an Asian person who seemed to have lived in Japan helped us and called a taxi for us. (That was lucky.) I am truly grateful to that Asian person. Thank you very much. I have more to say, but I don't think all tours are like this, and I was able to meet kind locals. An 8-year-old might not be able to handle it. However, I was disappointed that they didn't inform us from the beginning.

とても子供が楽しみにしていたカヤック。英語が堪能ではない事は伝えていました。もちろん、８歳の子供と一緒という事も…英語での説明はわからないですが、初体験ではなかったのでカヤックの漕ぎ方等、理解して参加していました。説明も終わり頑張ろうという事で漕ぎ始めて数十メートル漕いだ辺りで私たち家族だけ遅れがでました。リーダーらしき人が近くまできて、英語で（長い距離漕がないと行けないけれど、大丈夫ですか？）と聞かれました。子供も初めての体験ではないので慣れて行けばどうにかなるかと思い（トライ・チャレンジ）と言う言葉を何回か繰り返しましたが、戻って欲しかったのでしょうか、相手も進ませてくれません。等々、戻る事を決心して戻りました。すると、待っていたかというようにスタッフが待っていて、（おなかが痛いのね、可哀そうに）と言ってきました。ハワイ島は初めてで、ホノルル感覚で訪れたのも反省し、悔しかったのですが、ツアーの説明にこの様な事もあると書いてもいなかったし、だまされた感が残り嫌な気持ちになりました。その後、タクシーを呼んでくれるよう頼んでみたのですが、（わからない）ような事を言われました、しかし、日本に住んでいたらしいアジアの方が伝えてくれてタクシーを呼んで下さいました。（ラッキーでした）
本当にそのアジアの方には感謝です。ありがとうございました。他、書きたい事がありますが、このようなツアーばかりではないと思うし親切な現地の方ともしりあえました。８歳児は無理なのかもしれません。でも、初めから知らせてくれない対応には残念でした---。
