Sunset from the summit! This is a $ splurge, at least for us, but between the quirky Hawaiian history and mythology lesson plus solid science and general kind authenticity of our guide Addison; the "you'll never see a sunset quite like this one" moment; a humbling and breathtaking view looking out at the galaxy; and the luxury of being a passenger rather than a driver, with convenient pick-up and drop-off...totally worth it. Thanks for the highlight!

After gathering at the designated store, we all got into a jeep and headed to the location. Waipi'o Valley can only be accessed by those recognized by the country, so tourists must join a tour to visit (although it can be viewed from the observation deck).
During the tour, we crossed rivers in the jeep, received explanations about the plants, and sometimes stopped to observe wildlife, allowing us to have various experiences. While Hawaii is strongly associated with the ocean, this trip made me realize that there are jungles like this as well.
指定のお店に集合した後、みんなでジープに乗って、現地に向かいます。
ワイピオ渓谷は、国で認められた人しか立ち入るかとができないので、旅行客はツアーに参加しないと行くことができません(展望台から見ることはできます)。
ツアー中は、ジープで川を渡ったたり、植物の説明を受けたり、時には立ち止まって、野性動物を見たり、と様々な経験をさせてもらいました。海のイメージが強いハワイですが、このようなジャングルもあるのだと感じることができる旅でした。

I participated in a helicopter tour of the Big Island! The pilot was Toshi, who recently became a grandfather and has semi-retired. I felt very lucky to meet Toshi on this trip!
From the moment we headed to the helicopter, my excitement soared, and it reached its peak during takeoff! I was moved by the breathtaking natural beauty of the Big Island spread out below me.
The landing and takeoff at the cliffs of Kohala Coast and the 365-meter drop of Punalu'u Falls were absolutely thrilling!
As I flew, reflecting on the history from the birth of the Big Island to the present, I was reminded of how short and precious life is.
It was truly priceless! I highly recommend it!
ビッグアイランドのヘリコプター遊覧ツアーに参加しました!パイロットはToshiさん、お孫さんが産まれて、セミリタイアされたとの事。今回、Toshiさんにお会い出来たのは、非常にラッキーでした!
ヘリに向かう時からテンションが上がり、テイクオフでMAXに到達!眼下に広がるビッグアイランドの大自然に感動しました(^^)
特にコハラ海岸の断崖絶壁と、落差365mのプナルルの滝へのランディング&テイクオフは迫力満点でした!
ビッグアイランドの誕生から今に至る迄の、歴史に思いを馳せながらのフライトは、人の一生が如何に短く、如何に大切か、改めて感じる事が出来ました!

This shuttle tour is absolutely amazing!! Our guide, Kaleo, was extremely, knowledgeable, courteous and funny! He and his family live in the Waipio Valley and his pride of the history of this historic place shines through! In the beginning of the tour he stops at the Sacred Rock and prayed in his native language for our safety. The ride is very steep and very rocky. Along the way, he stopped the vehicle and lucked chameleon off a bush and allowed each of us to hold it. What a treat! At the bottom of the valley we saw wild Spanish horses, Belladonna flowers, Sleeping Hibiscus and Kaleo explained the history of the Taro plants It was like stepping into Jurassic Park. We saw the most magnificent Hehelava Falls and the Kohala cliffs. We road through rivers also. This tour was one of our best adventures of our trip and one of our favorite memories. We felt very safe with Kaleo as he lives in the valley and travels the road daily. Mahalo Safari Shuttle Tours and A Hui Hou!

This was such an amazing experience that I hardly know where to begin.
I can't say enough about Jen, who was our guide. From the moment we met her at 7:30 am (she was early to pick up near our residence) until she dropped us back home ~12 hours later, she made the trip such a positive experience. She was very personable and easy for my husband and I to chat with us as we made the ~1.5 hr drive to pick up the rest of the passengers in Hilo.
She was constantly pointing out areas of interest and sharing background information and context so that we could fully appreciate the sights of the Volcano park.
The 3 mile hike was great, and it was so interesting to spend time on the caldera floor, although I will admit that the trek back up truly tested my stamina!
All in all, an amazing day!

I participated alone during my stay in Hilo. It was great to find a Mauna Kea tour departing from Hilo, as they are not easy to come by. The scenery while driving through Mauna Kea felt like I had arrived in another world. The sunset and the evening glow were wonderful. The starry sky was also breathtaking, with the Scorpius and the Southern Cross clearly visible. I'm not good at English, so I listened to the guide's talk while translating it with a translation app. It was a tour that nature lovers would absolutely enjoy.

This was my second time doing this and it was amazing both times! This time I took my 3-year-old grandson. He was excited up until it was time to get in the water. He started crying and wanting mommy and though she was there she wasn’t planning to get in the pool (I hadn’t paid for her). Anyways, the trainer saw how upset he was and asked him if he wanted to hear the dolphin fart. He stopped crying and watched as she proceeded to make the dolphin make a fart sound. She then offered to let him do it and he did which made him laugh. He then decided the dolphin was pretty cool and ended up petting her and feeding her too. It was so fun spending that time with him and I can’t wait to do it again when my granddaughter is old enough.
Aloha- we are so thrilled that you enjoyed the program so much that you have returned to share the experience with other generations. We love that! Also, happy that the trainer was able to break the ice with your grandson, so that he was able to become comfortable to enjoy it as you do. Mahalo. See you when you bring your granddaughter.

It feels like you can enjoy your meal while watching. The variety and amount of food and drinks are just right. With Alii Seat, you get priority entry and can grab the buffet first, and the staff at your table quickly ask for your drink orders and bring them to you. The show isn't flashy, but you can enjoy it casually while eating and drinking. If you don't understand English, you'll just have to enjoy the atmosphere.

The explanation about handling the paddle was good. For those who are not accustomed to handling the board, it is difficult to climb back up and stand after sinking in the sea, so I would have liked more time for thorough explanations and demonstrations in shallow areas where one can stand. I believe that practicing the basics before going out to sea would make better use of the time. I thought the price was high for the content of the activity.
パドルの取り扱いについての説明は良かったのです。
ボードの扱いが慣れていない人は、海に沈したあと這い上がるのも立ち上がるのも難しいので、足がつく浅瀬などで十分な説明と手本を見て反復練習する時間が欲しかったです。
基本の練習をしてから海上に出れば時間が有効に使えると思います。
アクティビティの内容に対して料金が高いと思いました。

We attended the 9pm experience and it was absolutely worth every cent as well as the late hour. We were completely surrounded by manta rays, there were at least a dozen feeding within inches of the group. There were bottlenose dolphin hunting at the edges of the lighted area and we were even visited by a small shark. Everything a Hawaiian night snorkel should be!
The guides were professional and knowledgeable and truly provided an outstanding experience.
I would recommend a light jacket for the 20 minute boat ride to and from the dive sight if you get cold easily. I was in swim trunks and a long sleeve rash guard and I was fine, but my wife was a bit chilly on the trip back.
We would 100% do this experience again!

When you descend into the gorge, you feel a mystical sensation. Even now, there are people living in the gorge, creating an indescribable atmosphere. From a Japanese perspective, you can feel the presence of gods in the river, mountains, and land. When I shared this with the guide, they said, "This is a special place." There was no Japanese guide available, so I couldn't understand the detailed explanations, but I enjoyed it enough. The quiet atmosphere brings a sense of calm, allowing you to become one with nature and the gods.
