Island Breeze Luau at King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel with Show, Dinner & Drinks Included

Feb. 2009

Reviewed by: WilderGuy

Best meal we had on the island, & the entertainment was really well done. This was our first trip to the Big Island for our 20th anniversary, so we were trying to pack in a wide variety of activities. A Luau was almost a must on the list of things to do. We were not sure what to expect, but the experience was one we wouldn't have wanted to miss. Very well done by everyone involved. Mahalo!

UFO Parasail Adventure - Best Kona Parasailing Tour

Fun but too short

Reviewed by: Christina

This was a lot of fun. We got to see animals in the ocean and the water was so blue. This was our first time to Hawai'i so we had to try it. The staff was amazing! My only complaint would be that the ride was so short. I do not believe that 10 minutes is long enough. But overall it was a lot of fun.

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>

Manta rays come super close! マンタが超接近!

Reviewed by: シュノ−ケラ−

About 15 minutes by boat, two staff members held lights and illuminated from below, attracting a manta ray that approached us. Before the tour, we were warned not to touch the manta rays, but even though I didn't reach out, the manta came close and spun around, brushing against my body. Eventually, four manta rays gathered, and it was truly moving. I felt like I was able to see them up close more than when diving.

At first, I was watching from the surface, but when I got the signal that it was okay to dive, I was able to see them from below as well. Other travelers from Spain and Australia participated, and everyone was shouting "Wow! Wow!" continuously. I would love to visit the Big Island again just to participate in this tour.

船で15分ほどの所でまずスタッフが二人ライトを持って潜り下から上へライトで照らすとマンタが1匹寄って来ました.ツア−前に絶対マンタには触らないことと注意を受けましたが自分では触らないのにマンタの方から接近して来て体すれすれで回転するので体が触れるのです.
そのうち4匹集まって来て感動です.ダイビングをするよりも近くでマンタを見れたと思います.
最初は水面から見ていたのですが、潜ってもいいと合図があったので潜って下からも見上げる形でも見る事ができました.私以外にスペイン、オ−ストラリアからの旅行者が参加していました.全員ウォ−!ウォ−!の連続でした.
このツア−に参加するだけにもう1度ハワイ島を訪れたいぐらいです.

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

E.T. encounter

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

So if I'd explain this experience to someone, I'd say that it was like meeting with E.T. underwater. It's just very unique and almost spiritual experience to see them underwater at NIGHT. If you are comfortable in the water, do this tour. You won't regret it.

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>

luau show ルアウショー

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a family.
Since it was held at the hotel where we stayed, it was very convenient to gather and return to our rooms afterward.

Before the meal, there were various interactive events (like making fish out of leaves and watching coconut cracking), which were fun.

We also enjoyed a variety of dances, including hula, Tahitian dance, and fire dance, which was great.

The meal was a buffet, but at first, each table went to get food, so it proceeded smoothly even with a large number of people.

I’m glad everyone in the family was satisfied. Thank you very much.

家族で参加しました。
宿泊ホテルでの開催でしたので、集合も、終わってから部屋へ戻るのもとても便利でした。

食事の前にあちこちで参加型のイベント(葉っぱで魚を作ったり、ココナツの実を割るのを見たり)があり楽しい。

フラや、タヒチアンダンスやファイアーダンス等等、色々な種類のダンスも楽しめ、とてもよかったです。

食事は…ブッフェですが最初だけテーブルごとに取りに行くので、多人数でも混乱なく進みました。

家族みんな満足してよかったです。
ありがとうございました。

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>

I had a great time. とても楽しかったです。

Reviewed by: haru

It was an English tour, so I was a bit nervous, but it was really fun. Of course, everyone else was a foreigner except for the three of us. There were times when we couldn't communicate at all in Japanese, but maybe because I said, "I'm not good at English!" at the beginning, the people around us seemed to be considerate. Unlike a tour with only Japanese people, it was full of excitement!! I really enjoyed it. My grandparents, who have weak hearts, opted out and were switched to a tour on a large cruise ship. The speed of the boat was incredible, and my speed-loving daughter seemed very satisfied. Next time, I will study a bit more English before participating.

英語のツアーだったので、ドキドキでしたが、とても楽しかったです。
もちろん私たち3人以外はすべて外国人。全く日本語が通じず、困った事もありましたが、「英語が得意じゃありません!」と最初に言ったせいか、周りの人たちも気を使ってくれていたようです。
日本人だけのツアーとちがって迫力満点!!本当に楽しかったです。
心臓の弱いおじいちゃんおばあちゃんは、辞退して大きな客船のツアーに換えてもらっていました。
ボートのスピードが半端じゃなくて、スピード狂の娘は大満足だったようです。
こんどは、もう少し英語を勉強して参加します。

Island Breeze Luau at King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel with Show, Dinner & Drinks Included

Fun Evening

Reviewed by: Cynthia

Food was very good and it was helpful that they explained all the items on the buffet for those not familiar with Luau fare. The show was very well done and we had fun doing the activities at the beginning. Only downside is they do all the activities at the same time (hula lesson, palm weaving, etc.) so you can only do one. Also, if you're expecting a flower lei be prepared to pay extra for it or bring your own. We got ours at Costco, they sell a 2 pack of fresh orchid leis for only $6.50. Overall, a very fun evening right on the beach.

Island Breeze Luau - Kona

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Food and show was good. But, we would like to have some more interaction with audiences to perform Luau dance. We were expecting atleast that during the course of performances. Though it was done as brief introductory on Luau dance before the show began but it would be nice if we could participate as family then it would be very very more vibrant live show where family, friends, kids everybody can enjoy and have fun. This is a small request if they can spend some time during their main course of performance on this.

Other than that food, drinks are delicious. Here is a small request if they can put name tag in front of the each of the dish / item so people who are verigiterian / non-vegiterian can pickup their food selection very easily and can avoid un-necessary waist on the food. Though the organizer anounced the all the food items but by putting a name tag for food items that are served on that day would not cost any more.

Thanks

Whales!

We just came back from our honeymoon in the Big Island. We took this whale watch trip, and I must say this was by far the most enjoyable sailing trip we did in Hawaii. Being Discovery Channel lovers, we were so excited to see the real whales in front of us! We can't wait to go back there someday. Five stars!

野生のイルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングツアー <朝食・昼食付き>

The sea is beautiful! 海はきれいです!

Reviewed by: SATOKO

Since it was November, the temperature was low and the water was cold, but the sea was beautiful and I enjoyed seeing many fish. Both breakfast and lunch were moderately delicious and satisfying. However, since almost no one speaks Japanese, it might be more enjoyable if you can speak English. I didn't encounter any dolphins, and there was no explanation provided, so I was just sitting on the boat without much to do. Next time, I want to go during a warmer season.

11月ということもあり、気温が低く水が冷たかったですが、海はきれいで魚もたくさん見れて楽しかったです。
朝食も昼食もほどよくおいしくて満足でした。
ただ日本語はほとんどというかまったく通じないので、英語が話せる方だともっと楽しめるのかもしれません。
イルカにも遭遇することはなく、なにも説明されることはないので、ただぼ~とボートに乗っているだけです。
今度は暖かい時期にいきたいです。

This was my 4th return to see a part of our nation's history that truly changed the world. Each time I go back I learn many new facts and find it difficult to hold back my emotions of the lives lost and still remain there forever.

Afternoon Snorkel Cruise アフタヌーン・シュノーケル・クルーズ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was looking for a snorkeling cruise with transportation and signed up for this tour (the transportation was provided by Jacks Hawaii). The afternoon cruise I participated in had few participants, so we were able to relax on the boat, and the crew was very kind in taking care of the mothers who were scared while swimming. The crew spotted dolphins on our way back to the bay and stopped the boat for us, but we couldn't see them very well. However, the sea was beautiful, and we were able to see colorful fish, which made everyone happy. The boat's facilities were also clean and comfortable to use, which was great!

送迎付のシュノーケルクルーズを探していてこちらのツアーに申し込みました(送迎はジャックスハワイの車でした)。
参加したアフタヌーンクルーズは参加者が少なかったので船上ではゆったり過ごせましたし、泳ぐ時にはクルーの人がとても親切に怖がる母親達の面倒を見てくれて助かりました。
イルカは湾に帰る際クルーの人が見つけて船を止めてくれましたが私達には良く見えませんでした。でも海も綺麗で色とりどりの魚を見れたので全員が喜んでいました。
船の設備も綺麗で気持ちよく使えて良かったです♪

It was my first time snorkeling, and I had a wonderful experience. The ocean was very beautiful, and I could see fish up close. The hamburger for lunch had a deliciousness that can only be enjoyed outdoors, and I ended up eating a lot because I was greedy. I also got to see dolphins, even if just for a moment, and it was a very satisfying tour. I think it would be even better if there were plans that included transportation.

初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、とてもすばらしい体験をさせてもらうことができました。

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

Beautiful Experience

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The experience with the mantas was the highlight of our honeymoon. They are beautiful, amazing creatures and spending time with them was fantastic. The scuba diver who attracts the mantas also filmed it and it was the one DVD/picture set that we bought of all of our tours. We really loved the animals, but hte experience was so-so. Do NOT go on this tour if you are not comfortable snorkeling, as they really do not hold your hand--you go in the water in the dark and there isn't really a lifeguard or somebody making sure that you are with the pack. Its fine if you are comfortable, just be warned. The only other downside was the other people on the boat with us who, instead of passively watching the creatures and taking their turn with them, swam over on top of us every time the manta were near us. We got kicked in the head by stranger's fins and we have it all on tape! I might recommend trying to get somebody to take you on a personal charter for this beautiful experience, it would probab
