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

Great Views from the Water

Reviewed by: Missing Hawai'i All Ready

My family of 6 really enjoyed the kayak and snorkeling trip on the Big Island. The guides were extremely friendly, informative, and supportive. 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).

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Tour & Tropical Waterfalls Sightseeing from Hilo

Need Streamlining

Reviewed by: Gene From Texas

The tour was OK. There was a lot of bus riding just picking folks up and dropping them off. I think were the only folks staying in Hilo. There were a couple of stops at commercial sites that could be left off the tour. The guide was good and knew a lot about the area. This tour could be streamlined and only take half a day.

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧 水~土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能<フライト100分/英語パイロット/ワイコロアヘリポート>

Unfortunately, 残念ながら

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in early December 2011. Unfortunately, I had joined a tour to see the lava in 2009, but due to the wind direction of the gas, I couldn't see the ocean entry. I thought about getting a revenge tour, but I was informed that there wasn't much volcanic activity and the ocean entry couldn't be seen, so I decided to join the helicopter tour to see it from above. This time, there was a bit of light rain, and I could only see the moving lava with the naked eye to a limited extent. I was able to see trees being consumed by the lava and flames rising, as well as lava flowing down the cliffs like a thin waterfall. I plan to get revenge during a time of more active activity. However, it was enjoyable to see the town of Kalapana, which had been swallowed by lava in the past, with houses starting to be built again, and the beautifully planted macadamia nut farms. It seems that the seating is determined by weight at check-in, and luckily, I was seated next to the pilot. On the way back to the airport, everyone enjoyed chatting, but I regretted not studying English conversation more. There were participants from various countries.

2011.12月初旬に参加しました。
あいにく2009に溶岩を見に行くツアーに参加しましたが、溶岩のオーシャンエンターがガスの風向きで見れず、リベンジをと思いましたが、火山活動があまりなくオーシャンエンターは見れないとのことで、ヘリで上から見てみたいと参加しました。今回も小雨混じりで動いている溶岩は肉眼で少し確認できた程度でした。生えている木が溶岩に呑まれて炎が上がっている様子や、細い滝のようにがけを流れている溶岩が見れました。 また活発な活動の際にリベンジです。 しかし上空から昔溶岩に飲み込まれた町カラパナにまた家がぽつぽつ建ちだしている様子や、壮大にきれいに植えられているマカダミアナッツ農場を見れたりと楽しかったです。受付時の体重で席は決められるようで、ラッキーなことにパイロットの並び席でした。空港に戻る際にはみんなで会話を楽しむかんじでしたが、もっと英会話べんきょうしとくべきだったといつもの後悔でした。いろんな国の方が参加されていました。

野生のマンタ シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>

It's cold! 寒いよ~

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a couple with a 6-year-old child (kindergarten age).

We were able to see them properly! I think there were about 10 of them. It's definitely different from an aquarium! It’s magical, but some people might feel a bit scared because it’s quite dark.

We held onto a raft with downward-facing lights while waiting for the manta rays. You can float on your stomach with your feet on the float, so it’s easy and you don’t have to kick or tread water.

It seemed like they were coming closer to the brightest spot. Other tour rafts and divers were brighter, so they didn’t come too close, but we enjoyed it enough.

Since our child can’t swim yet, we used a jacket that we brought with us that inflates with air. They generally don’t use jackets, so if you need one, you should ask for it.

Also, it’s quite cold. Even people who usually handle the cold well were feeling chilly. Wearing two wetsuits keeps you warm, so it might be a good idea to ask if you can rent two when you get there.

I think it would be great to have a waterproof camera that can record video. For still images, you really need a big camera.

夫婦+6歳児(年長)での参加でした。

ちゃんと見られました!
10匹弱いたと思います。やっぱ水族館とは違いますよ!
幻想的ですが、真っ暗でちょっと恐怖感を感じる人もいるかもしれませんね。

下向きのライトが付いたイカダに掴まってマンタを待ちます。
うつ伏せで足をフローターに乗せて浮かんでいられるのでキックや立ち泳ぎすることもなく楽ちんです。

一番明るい場所に寄ってきているようでした。別のツアーイカダやダイバーの方が明るかったのであまり近くには来てくれませんでしたが十分楽しめました。

子供はまだ泳げないので持参した空気を入れて使うジャケットを装着して入りました。基本的にジャケットは使用しないようなので必要な方は言わないと出てこないと思います。

それとかなり寒いです。
寒さに強い印象の白人さんもかなり寒がってました。
ウエット二枚重ねると暖かいのでレンタルの時に二枚借りられるか聞いてみるといいかもしれません。

防水の動画が撮れるコンデジがあるといいと思います。
静止画はどでかいカメラじゃないと無理ですね。

Dolphins and manta rays. いるか達、そして マンタ

Reviewed by: らむ

Swimming with dolphins has been a dream of mine for many years, perhaps influenced by the show "Flipper" I watched as a child.

I never expected to swim with so many dolphins...

As I entered the water at the call of Mr. Nawata, I found myself surrounded by a pod of dolphins.

The dolphins were swimming in a playful cluster, some were with their young, and when I was focused on the ocean floor, they would suddenly appear right in front of me.

I could even hear the sounds the dolphins made and clearly see their droppings!

Changing spots, I jumped back in at the command of "Okay, go down," and to my surprise, there was even a manta ray! I was so captivated by the manta ray that I completely forgot about the waterproof camera I had bought for this day.

I tried to dive like Leo, who was with us, but unfortunately had to give up due to the weight of the fat on my body.

When I returned to the boat and learned that Leo was a national record holder in freediving and had connections with Jack Mayol, I was astonished...

After enjoying another round of swimming with the dolphins, I felt completely satisfied.

I apologize for any unpleasantness caused by my seasickness during the trip... but it was such an amazing experience that I forgot all about it. I never imagined I would be able to swim with dolphins at such a close distance!!

Next time, I definitely plan to join a manta ray tour. Thank you, Mr. Nawata and Leo. I look forward to seeing you again!

子供の頃に見た「わんぱくフリッパー」の影響からか、
いるかと泳ぐことは、長年の夢でした。(歳がばればれ)

それが、まさか、こんなにもたくさんのいるか達と泳げるとは・・・

縄田さんの掛け声のもと海に入ると、
そこは もう いるかの群れの中。

いるか達がだんご状態になって泳いでいたり、
親子連れだったり、
海の底ばかり見ていると、目の前に現れたり。

いるかの発する音や うんち(!)まではっきりと見えました。

ポイントを変えて、
「はい、降りて。」の声のもと再び飛び込むと、
そこには、なんと、マンタまで!!
この日の為に購入した防水デジカメそっちのけで、
マンタに釘付け。

同行されたレオさんを真似て潜ってみようとチャレンジしましたが、身体に背負った脂肪のせいか、あえなく断念。

ボートに戻って伺ったら、なんとレオさん、フリーダイビングの全米記録保持者で、
あのジャック・マイヨールとも親交があったとは・・・

その後、もう一度いるか達との泳ぎを満喫し、
満腹気分で終了となりました。


途中、船酔いのためお見苦しいところをお見せして申し訳ありませんせした・・・
が、船酔いなんて忘れるくらい素晴らしい体験でした。
まさか、いるかが手に届く距離で一緒に泳げるとは思ってもみませんでした!!

次回は、ぜひマンタのツアーに参加しようと思っています。
縄田さん、レオさん、ありがとうございました。
そして、またよろしくお願いいたします。

I was able to ride it on my second attempt. 再チャレンジで乗れました

Reviewed by: 小春ばぁちゃん

On the second day in Hawaii, I had a reservation, but it was canceled due to bad weather in Hilo (tears). It was disappointing since Waikoloa had nice weather. Due to my schedule, the only available day was the checkout day, so I rescheduled it as that was my last chance. On the final day, while waiting nervously, I was told it was okay to go today.

For those with flexible schedules, I recommend making reservations as early as possible, and if the tour is canceled due to weather, it's good to have a backup date.

Now, the actual flight was amazing. Unfortunately, the volcano was in a state of calm, so I couldn't see the dynamic lava flows or ocean entry, but I could see lava from a hole in the ground! I also saw black streaks that made me think lava was flowing underground, which was both exciting and a bit scary. It was great to see the charm of Hawaii Island's green lava landscape from the sky. However, since it was an English tour, I didn't understand most of the explanations, but even without them, seeing the scenery in front of me was more than enough to enjoy.

I participated with my 4-year-old and 1-year-old, and the kids were satisfied too!

ハワイ島2日目に予約していましたが、
ヒロの天候が悪いとのことで、催行中止に(涙)
ワイコロアが良いお天気な分残念でした。
日程的にチェックアウトの日しか予定があいていなかったので、その日がラストチャンスということで振り替えをしました。
最終日、どきどきしながら待っていると、今日はOKと言ってくれました。
日程に余裕がある人は、できるだけ日程の前の方に予約をしれて、
もし天候で催行されなくても振り替え予備日を設けておくと良いとおもいます。

さて、実際のフライトは、すばらしかったです。
残念ながら火山は小康状態だったので溶岩の流出やオーシャンエントリーというダイナミックな状態はみれませんでしたが
大地にぽっかり開いた穴から溶岩がみえました!
おそらく地中を流れているなと思わせる黒い筋もみえて
嬉しさと怖さ?とでぞくぞくとしました。
その他島の緑溶岩の大地というハワイ島の魅力を空からみれたのもよかったです。
ただ、英語ツアーだったので、説明の大部分がわからなかったのですが
それでも、説明がなくても百聞は一見にしかず、で
やはり目の前に広がる景色で充分楽しめました。

4歳と1歳の子ども連れで参加したのですが
子ども達も満足していましたよ

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

Great staff!

Reviewed by: bigislandgurl

Felt like a tourist but I got to do things I never did before like jump off that high cliff and kayak on my own. It was a LOT of work for me. If you've never done it, go with a double kayak. It's a little easier. The sea caves were non-existent. We only got 2 feet near a small little opening in the rock. The snorkeling was good. 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!

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

Reviewed by: ゆみ&ニーム

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。

ハワイ島 オーシャンラフティング&シュノーケルリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事付き>

It's fun. 楽しいです。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in the Ocean Rafting & Lava Cave Adventure at Kealakekua Bay snorkeling.

I was a bit anxious about the meeting place, but it was easy to find.

The check-in process was smooth. It seems there are no changing rooms, so it's better to wear your swimsuit beforehand.

The rubber boat accommodates about ten people, but it felt stable and was not scary at all.

The guide spoke only English, but was friendly and made an effort to explain things using gestures, which was appreciated since we are not very good at English.

Racing across the Hawaiian waters was quite exhilarating. I was lucky to sit at the front and enjoy the speed.

Along the way, we encountered a pod of whales. It seems you can't always see them, so it was a great experience. A baby whale came quite close, and it was adorable.

We also saw dolphins playing and sea turtles.

As for snorkeling, as others have mentioned, the clarity of the water is amazing. Tropical fish are swimming very close to you.

Other tour participants brought their own snorkeling gear. If you're a bit nervous, it's better to prepare your own. If you're unsure about swimming, I recommend borrowing a life vest to enjoy it even more.

With the guide watching nearby, you can enjoy the Hawaiian waters relatively safely, so I recommend this tour.

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ(キングカメハメハホテル内)<ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

A luau show that left me completely satisfied, even in the rain! 雨でも大満足のルアウショー!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Although it was the main highlight of my trip that I was looking forward to, unfortunately, it rained heavily.

Usually, there is a performance where King Kamehameha arrives by boat, followed by a dinner show under the starry sky, but it was suddenly changed to an indoor show.

We had to wait about an hour in the hotel lobby for the setup, but during that time, the MC kept us entertained with jokes and ukulele performances. Chatting with other foreign tourists also became a nice memory.

We moved to a banquet-like area inside the hotel for the show to begin. The performances of singing and dancing, along with audience participation during the cha-cha dance time, were wonderfully entertaining, and I was very satisfied.

The food featured traditional Hawaiian dishes as the main course. It was quite filling, and while tastes may vary, I enjoyed it very much.

We also had plenty of fun with participatory activities like hula lessons, but the hotel hallway felt a bit cramped. I wished we could have done it outside under the sky on the grass. However, it was such a fulfilling show program that I definitely want to participate again on a day with better weather!

I clearly remember the words, "For those visiting Hawaii for the first time, welcome; for those returning, you are friends (aikane); and for those coming for the third time or more, you are all family (ohana)," which warmed my heart.

旅のメインと楽しみにしていたのに生憎の大雨。


通常はキングカメハメハがボートに乗ってやってくるパフォーマンスと星空の下でのディナーショーなのですが、急きょ室内でのショーに変更になりました。


セッティングのためホテルロビーにて1時間ほど待たされたのですが、その間も客を飽きさせないようMCの方が冗談を飛ばしたりウクレレ演奏があったり。ほかの外国人観光客たちとの立ち話もいい思い出となりました。


ホテル内の宴会場のような場所に移動して、ショーの開始。
歌や踊りのパフォーマンス、観客を巻き込んでのチークダンスタイムなど素敵な演出が盛りだくさんで大満足でした。


料理はハワイの伝統食がメイン。ボリューム満点で好みは分かれるかとも思いますが、私は美味しく頂きました。


フラレッスンなどの参加型アクティビティも十分楽しめたのですが、やはりホテルの廊下では少し狭く、空の下、芝生の上でやりたかったなあという印象。しかし次こそは天候に恵まれた日にまたぜひ参加したい!と思える充実したショープログラムでした。



「一度目のHawaiiのひとは初めまして、
 二度目のひとは友達(aikane)、
三度目以上の人はみんな家族(ohana)」
という言葉に心がほっこりしたのをよく覚えています♪

Dear Mr. Anonymous,

Thank you for attending the luau show. Your comments almost brought tears to my eyes. While the rain is a blessing for us Polynesians, it often prevents us from showcasing the beauty of the ocean, the arrival of the king, and the imu show, which may leave our guests unsatisfied.

On this cruise to Ke'alakekua, not only was there a wonderful bartender, but also a fabulous array of appetizers and a yummy dinner. AND there was a historian, named Boyd, who was able to tell us the history of the areas we were cruising by. Kudos to Boyd!

ハワイ島 オーシャンラフティング&シュノーケルリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事付き>

It was fun. 楽しかった

Reviewed by: kanahashizume

I made a confirmation call the day before the tour, but it was completely incomprehensible for us, as we couldn't speak any English, which left both sides in a bit of a bind... However, somehow it worked out, and when we arrived at the meeting place, we were warmly welcomed and were able to depart safely!

We had a 4-year-old with us, and since our child loves swimming in the sea and pool, they seemed to enjoy jumping directly into the ocean from the boat without any hesitation. However, since you can't stand on the coral, it might be tough for those who can't swim to accompany.

We were provided with kickboards and long floats, but as parents, it was quite stressful to swim with a child who can't swim. So, while I think children can participate and have fun, I would recommend joining after they learn to swim independently.

The sandwiches, fruits, and snacks for lunch were delicious. We were very satisfied with the meals.

On the day we went, we were also able to see baby dolphins jumping and playing!

There were many large fish! I had imagined small fish like those in Guam, but it was completely different! My daughter was delighted, saying, "It feels like we're swimming in an aquarium!" The staff even went out of their way to bring sea urchins and sea cucumbers for us to touch and enjoy since we returned to the boat early!

Although I couldn't understand most of the conversation since it was all in English, I think it was a tour that we could thoroughly enjoy because everyone, including the staff and participants, were very nice.

ツアー前日に確認の電話をしましたが、全く英語が話せない私達にはチンプンカンプンで、双方困ってしまいました…
が、まぁなんとかなるもので、集合場所に行くと温かく迎えて頂け、無事に出発出来ました!
私達は4歳の子連れでしたが、海やプールなどで泳ぐ事が大好きな子どもなので、ボートから直接海に入る事に抵抗もない様子で楽しめたみたいです。でも、珊瑚の上には立てないので、泳げない方が付き添いだときついと思います。

ビート板や細長い浮きは貸していただけましたが、親としては泳げない子どもを連れて泳ぐのは凄く気を使いました。
なので、子どもも参加は出来るし、楽しめるとは思いますが、一人で泳げるようになってからの参加をお勧めします。

昼食のサンドイッチやフルーツ、お菓子もおいしかったです。
食事にはとても満足しています。

私達が行った日は赤ちゃんイルカがジャンプして遊んでいる姿も見ることが出来ました!

魚は大きなのが沢山いました!
グアムなどの海にいる小さな魚を思い浮かべていましたが、全然違いました!
娘は『水族館の中で泳いでいるみたい!』と喜んでいました。
スタッフさんが、早めにボートに戻った私達の為にウニやナマコを取ってきて下さり、触って楽しんだりも出来ました!


英語ばかりでほとんどの話は分かりませんが、スタッフさんや参加者の皆さんは良い方ばかりなので十分楽しめるツアーだと思います。

Great staff - very helpful, accommodative and friendly - made the experience very enjoyable. Highly rec going to 1200 ft of line (600 ft up) for the free fall experience and longer ride - worth the extra money. Spectacular views and wonderful, smooth, relaxing ride!

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ(キングカメハメハホテル内)<ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

People who are not good at English... 英語が苦手な人は...。

Reviewed by: ペキ

The meal was delicious, and the show was enjoyable, but at the beginning, we felt awkward because we didn't understand when the attendees were supposed to stand, so we were the only ones sitting. If you're not good at English conversation, it's okay to just follow what everyone else is doing. The sunset was incredibly beautiful, so I felt like we got more than just the show.

食事美味しく、ショーも楽しかったのですが初めのほうで参列者の起立が分からず私たちだけ椅子に座ったままで気まずい思いをしました。英会話が苦手な人は周りに合わせて行動すればOKです。サンセットがすごく綺麗でしたので、ショーの他に得した気分でした。

Dear Peki,

I sincerely apologize for any discomfort you experienced while enjoying the luau show. I will do my best to ensure that everyone in Japan can also have a great time. I hope to see you again on the Big Island.

ペキ様。ルアウショーをお楽しみいただく中、心苦しい思いをさせてしまいましたことお詫び申し上げます。
日本の皆様にもお楽しみいただけるよう最善を尽くして参りたいと思います。
ハワイ島でまたお会いできますように。

プライベートチャーター ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング+イルカウォッチングツアー!GoProレンタルあり<午前/日本語ガイド>

There are lots of dolphins! イルカがいっぱい!

Reviewed by: かじ

I participated on May 4th.

I had a great time meeting so many dolphins!

I dove into the area where the dolphins were swimming, and I was surprised when a pod came towards me?!

I was able to see many dolphins. There were dolphins jumping and spinning like in a show, playful dolphins, and mother-and-baby dolphins as well.

I felt surrounded, as if I was swimming with them.

I love the sound of dolphins, so being enveloped by their voices made me very happy.

Please be sure to experience it.

I highly recommend it!!

Thanks to Mr. Nawata. I would love to repeat this if I can go back to the Big Island.

5/4に参加させていただきました。

たくさんのイルカに会えてとても楽しかったです!

イルカが泳いでる所にダイブするんですが、イルカの群れが自分に向かってくる?!ってびっくり。

たくさんのイルカを見ることができました。
ショーのようにジャンプして回転してるイルカや
遊び好きなイルカ、親子イルカもいました。

囲まれてまるで一緒に泳いでるような気分になれました。

イルカの声が好きなので、声に包まれる感じでとても幸せでした。

ぜひ体験してみて下さい。

おすすめです!!

縄田さんに感謝。
ハワイ島にまたいけたらリピートしたいと思います

野生のマンタ シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>

I couldn't meet the manta rays. マンタには会えなかったです

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in late July, but unfortunately, I couldn't see any manta rays. However, I was told that if I didn't see them, I could join again, so I tried again, but I still didn't see any that day. It's disappointing, but since it's nature, there's nothing that can be done. I would like to participate again if I have the chance, as I don't think there are many places where you can easily see manta rays like this.

The staff were friendly, which was great. The sunset from the port was also very beautiful. I had no trouble getting to the meeting place because I followed the comments from previous posts.

7月下旬に参加したんですが、残念ながらマンタには会えませんでした。
ただ、見えなければもう1回参加できるとの事で再挑戦しましたが、この日も会えませんでした。
こんな事もあるんですね。すっごく残念ですが自然のものなので仕方ないですね。
でもまた機会があれば参加したいです。こんなに簡単にマンタに会える場所はそうそう無いと思うので。

スタッフの方もフレンドリーでよかったです。港からの夕陽もとってもキレイでした。
集合場所も前に投稿されてた方のコメントを見て行ったので問題なく行けました。

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

Early morning tour participation☆ 早朝ツアー参加☆

Reviewed by: ぽこ

During our 3-night, 5-day trip to Hawaii, we found and participated in this early morning tour (a sea kayaking and snorkeling tour) despite our limited time.

Since there were only the two of us participating, it was our first time sea kayaking, but it was great that we could go at our own pace.

I can't swim, so I was scared of snorkeling even with a life jacket, but thanks to Kevin holding my hand and guiding me, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind.

Both Kevin and Noni were very considerate, always keeping an eye on us during the tour, which made for a pleasant experience. If I have the chance to go to the Big Island again, I would like to try the cave tour next time.

Thank you very much.

3泊5日のハワイ旅行で、時間に限りがある中、こちらの早朝のツアー(シーカヤックとシュノーケリングのツアー)を見つけ参加させていただきました。

参加者は私たち二人だけだったので、シーカヤックは初めてだったのですが、自分たちのペースに合わせていただけたので良かったです。

私は泳げないため、ライフジャケットを着ていてもシュノーケリングが怖かったのですが、ケビンさんが手を取って誘導してくれたおかげで、安心して楽しむこともできました。

ケビンさんもノニさんも細やかな気遣いをされる方だったのでツアー中、常に私達を気にかけてくれ、気持ちよく参加することができました。
また、ハワイ島に行くことがあれば、今度は洞窟のツアーにも参加してみたいです。

ありがとうございました。

UFO Parasail Adventure - Best Kona Parasailing Tour

1,200 ft high as quick as a wink

Reviewed by: Satoshi

This tour was well-organized and it was very easy to fly. 12 mins in the sky was a terrific experience.
The instructor and the captain were both very nice and quite entertainers.
You can also know how the water is clear in Hawaii.
