Waipio Shuttle - An Exceptional Guided Sightseeing Tour of Waipio Valley

Waipio Valley Tour

Reviewed by: JPA

We’ve been to Waipio Valley several times but have never taken a guide-led tour, and it made a huge difference. The guide was charming, knowledgeable and experienced. We saw parts of the valley that we wouldn’t have been able to in the past, and certainly now that the valley is closed to non-residents. Highly recommend!

Big Island Whale Watching Cruise from Waikoloa - Hawaii Nautical [Dec-Mar]

A most enjoyable experience! Once we spotted a spout in the distance, we motored to it for a wonderful mother-baby whale show! Only recommendation would be to improve the directions to get to the check-in location on the beach.

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー ボイジャーズ・オブ・ザ・パシフィック(ロイヤルコナリゾート内)<月・火・水・金催行/ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

I was able to see a wonderful dance against the backdrop of the sunset. 夕陽をバックに素晴らしいダンスを見ることができました。

Reviewed by: サリー

We arrived early to check in, secured our seats, and waited for the show while enjoying Mai Tais. The atmosphere at our table was very friendly and lively. We had a great time celebrating honeymoon couples and birthdays, and even got to go on stage for a dance lesson. The buffet was well-managed by the staff, making the flow smooth, and the food was delicious. The Hawaiian dance was elegant and wonderful, and it seemed like the host's talk was well-received. The ocean beyond the stage and the sunset were spectacular.

早めに受付をして、席を確保し、マイタイを飲みながら、開演を待ちました。同じテーブルの人たちと和気藹々。とても楽しかったです。ハネムーンカップルや、お誕生日の人などをお祝いしたり、ステージに上がってダンスをレクチャーされたり、とても楽しい時間を過ごしました。ブッフェスタイルでしたが、取りに行く流れをちゃんとスタッフの方がコントロールしていて、スムーズでしたし、とても美味しかったです。ハワイアンダンスは優雅で素晴らしく、司会のトークも受けていたようです。ステージの向こうの海、そして夕陽が素晴らしかったです。

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー  レジェンズ・オブ・ハワイ(ヒルトンワイコロアビレッジ)<日・火・金催行/ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題>

It is affected by the weather. 天候に左右されます

Reviewed by: えんぞぉ

Unfortunately, it rained. The rain got heavier and raincoats were distributed. The temperature dropped, and the food got soaked and was almost inedible, with only two drinks consumed. While I was concerned about the weak yen prices, I made the reservation to boost my Hawaiian spirit, but it turned out to be a poor value. I hadn't considered the bad weather. Those making reservations should not forget to check the weather. The fire show was impressive.

あいにくの雨でした。どんどん雨脚が強くなりレインコートが配られ、気温も下がり、食事もずぶ濡れでほとんど食べられず、飲み物も2杯飲んだ程度。円安料金が気になりつつもハワイ気分を盛り上げようと予約しましたがコスパの悪い結果となりました。悪天候については気が回っていなかった。予約される方は天気のチェックをお忘れなく。ファイアーショーは見応えありました。

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

Kayaking to the Dragon's Throat, Snorkelling and Enjoying our Lead Guides: Winfield and Olivia

Reviewed by: Ken & Nicole Hall

This is the very first kayaking ocean tour my husband and I have ever been on. It definitely helps if you have experience in rowing a kayak. My husband had plenty experience in rowing a kayak in Canada even if it was only on rivers and lakes. We totally appreciated the kokua and patience from our lead guides, Winfield & Olivia. We were late joining our kayak tour. We appreciated Winfield's follow up call as we were running late due to tire pressure issues on our car rental and needed to check it out before we got to the keauhou Bay. When we showed up, we were pleasantly greeted right away by Olivia who stayed behind to ensure we had life jackets and that all our valuables were safely locked up in their truck. Olivia led us by kayak to the group and we were able to take a personal guided history and tour of the dragon's throat cave Winfield because the waters were starting to get a bit choppy. We later were anchored to our guides along with other kayakers to enjoy some snorkeling along the reef which was truly amazing. Somehow when our kayaks were anchored, I must've lost my balance getting back into our kayak because shortly after that, our kayak ended up tipping into the ocean along with my phone. Winfield was very kind to fish it out of the ocean and Olivia quickly poured regular bottled water on my my phone but u/f my phone is still dying a slow salt
corrosion death. The good news is that we were still able to obtain the data of the beautiful photos and videos of our adventure. We loved learning the history and sharing great camraderie with Winfield and Olivia who are expert kayakers and tour guides. They made us feel very safe and at ease the whole time. Wilfield also helped calm me down after we tipped and made sure I was ok after rescuing my phone. We also enjoyed snacks and drinks and when we got back to shore, Winfield cut us fresh pineapple and we enjoyed eating that. Thank you Winfield and Olivia for a fantastic adventure!

My wife and I took this tour with our three young kids. We had a very knowledgeable guide for our tour—Ray. He is a native of Waipo Valley and he had a lot of good information to tell us both about Waipo Valley and Hawaiian history in general. Beyond this, the valley itself is breathtakingly beautiful! All of us thoroughly enjoyed this tour.

Worth the money for sure!

Reviewed by: Sue

We really enjoyed this tour. It is a long one so be prepared. But they keep you hydrated and fed. I loved the black sand beach, and the sea turtles and the stop along the shore the most. But all of the events were really fun. They packed so much into one day. it was a great tour and we had a lot of fun. The picnic, the stop at the bakery, and the dinner, you were all excellent quality as well.

ハワイ島 乗馬ツアー コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬! <午前・午後/英語ガイド>by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

The weather, the scenery, and the staff are all amazing! 天気も景色もスタッフもサイコー

Reviewed by: あっしゃん

I was worried that it might be too cold at such a high altitude and that my winter gear wouldn't be sufficient, but they provided parkas and warm jackets, allowing for a comfortable horseback riding experience. This was my third time horseback riding on the Big Island of Hawaii, and the scenery was beautiful, the horses were all well-behaved, and although the staff spoke only English, they spoke clearly and slowly, making it easy to understand. I feel that this horseback riding experience was the best one yet.

標高が高く、思った以上に寒くて防寒が間に合わないのではないかと不安でしたが、パーカーや防寒ジャケットが用意されて快適に乗馬できました。
ハワイ島でのホースバックライディングは3度目ですが、
景色が良く、馬も良い子ばかりで、スタッフは英語のみですが、わかりやすくゆっくり喋ってくれたので、理解することができ、
今回のホースバックライディングが一番良かったように思います。

The trip was fantastic and Ray was super informative. It was a beautiful night and we got to see a lot of stars and planets and the moon rising as well. It was spectacular and a must try for everyone! We thoroughly enjoyed it and I highly recommend it!! Also loved the hot chocolate touch at the end because it was quite cold on the slopes. The pickup and drop off was on time. The one thing that could have been better in my opinion was the food options and I also wished we had stopped somewhere to see the spectacular sunset. Apart from that, we really enjoyed it

Waipio Shuttle - An Exceptional Guided Sightseeing Tour of Waipio Valley

Beautiful views!

Reviewed by: EB

A must do experience on the big island. The tour guide did a great job of driving the very steep and very bumpy road and explaining the history of the valley. If you get car sick or can't handle a really bumpy ride, you may want to wait til a hiking trail is made. At this time, this is the only way to see the valley. We finished our tour with a Hawaiian lunch at the food truck down the road and a fruit stand. It was a perfect day.

ヘリコプター遊覧 コハラ山脈&ハマクアコースト <フライト50分/英語パイロット/ワイコロア空港発>by ブルーハワイアンヘリコプターズ

The scenery that I usually don't get to see was wonderful. 普段見れない景色が素晴らしかった。

Reviewed by: としぼう

We experienced this with four friends. Our friends sat in the front row next to the pilot, while my husband and I were in the back right side. Shortly after takeoff, we headed north from above the coastline of Waikoloa towards the Kohala Mountains. We were amazed by the beauty of Waikoloa where we were staying, and the view of Maui from the sea was also deeply moving. It was all of our first time on a helicopter, and I thought the fear would be overwhelming, but as we ascended along the mountain slopes, we were able to enjoy it with a moderate sense of tension. The beauty of Waipi'o Valley was stunning, and I wanted to land and explore, but since it was a short course this time, we just circled without landing. (Next time, I would like to have lunch there.) Lastly, the staff were kind, friendly, and we had a great time. (One of the female staff members looked just like my mother when she was younger, which made me laugh.)

友人夫婦4人で体験いたしました。
友人夫婦がパイロットさんの隣の前列、私たち夫婦は後ろの右側でした。
離陸直後、西側の海岸線のワイコロアの上空から、北上しコハラ山脈に向かいました。
宿泊しているワイコロアの綺麗さに驚き、また、海から眺めるマウイ島も
感慨ぶかいものがありました。
4人ともヘリに乗るのは初めてで、怖さが勝るかと思いましたが、山の傾斜に
沿って高度を上げていったので、適度な緊張感で楽しむ事が出来ました。
ワイピオの谷あいも美しく、着陸して楽しみたかったですが、今回は短時間のコースでしたので、着陸せずに周遊するだけでした。
(次回は、ランチでもしたいです。)
最後にスタッフの方々も優しく、親切で楽しい時間が過ごせました。
