An absolute must do!!

Reviewed by: Gabby

This tour was fantastic from start to finish - from the quaint shop you meet to get on the shuttle to the informative guide to the incredible views, we couldn’t recommend more. Kolehe aka Douglas was our fearless leader who drove us into Waipio Valley and was just the best! So much fun, tons of passion for the island and specific area, and the perfect sense of humor and charm. It was my first off-roading experience, and needless to say, I’m addicted :) Don’t miss out on this awesome tour!

ワイピオ渓谷 　乗馬ツアー　＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞ by ワイピオ・オン・ホースバック

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: サマー

I participated with my 12-year-old and 8-year-old children. Although we were supposed to meet at 1 PM, we arrived 10 minutes late, but the guide said they were out for lunch.

Backpacks are not allowed; it's best to have something like a waist pouch that fits closely to your body. Some people were using insect repellent spray. I also got bitten by insects in a couple of places.

After changing to a different vehicle from the meeting point, we arrived at the Waipi'o Valley lookout. From there, the road continued to descend steeply. It was quite bumpy, and we crossed a river along the way. I'm glad we didn't have lunch right before; we would have definitely gotten car sick.

When we reached the scenic viewpoint, the driver stopped the car so we could take photos from inside.

Upon arriving at the horseback riding location, there was an explanation in English. It was something like, "When turning right, pull the reins to the right..." My 8-year-old daughter was scared because she is small, but she was trying her best since she couldn't ride with me. We rode for over an hour, and by the end, my legs were definitely tired.

The kids had a valuable experience, and we were all satisfied.

12歳と8歳の子連れで参加しました。
13時集合だったのに10分遅れてしまいましたがガイドさんがランチに行ってるとの事でした。

荷物はリュックはダメでウエストポーチみたいに体に密着するのがベストです。虫よけスプレーをふってる方もいらっしゃいました。私も２か所くらい虫に刺されました

集合場所から違う車に乗り換えワイピオ渓谷展望台に到着。そこから急降下の道が続きます。ガタガタ揺れますし途中川も渡りました。直前にランチしなくて良かったです。きっと車酔いしてそう
絶景ポイントがくると、車を止めれくれ車内から写真撮影。

乗馬場所に到着すると英語で説明があります。右に曲がるときは紐を右に・・・という感じの説明でした。
８歳の娘は小柄なため怖がっていたけど一緒に乗ることはできなかったため頑張っていました。
１時間以上乗っていましたが終わったときはやはり足が疲れていました

子供たちも貴重な体験ができたのでみんなで満足しました

The sea was wonderful, and I enjoyed both kayaking and snorkeling. Since there was no transportation provided, it was fine to wear my swimsuit and take an Uber to the meeting point at the hotel parking lot. However, after the tour ended, we dispersed in the parking lot. I had to change in the nearby hotel's restroom without any shower facilities. I really wished there had been at least a simple shower to rinse off the salt, and I would have appreciated having a place to change.

海は素敵でカヤックもシュノーケリングも楽しめました。
送迎がないので水着を着て集合場所のホテルの駐車場までウーバーでいくのは良いのですが、ツアーが終わったあとも、駐車場で解散となりました。着替えはシャワーもないままそばのホテルのトイレでしました。せめて簡易シャワーで塩を落としたかったですし、着替える場所も欲しかったです。

The event was held four times a week, and the schedule worked out well. At the opening, the ceremony where King Kamehameha's group solemnly landed on the ship really enhanced the atmosphere, which was great. The buffet-style food was well-managed by the staff, allowing guests to fill their plates without waiting in line, and during the wait, we could enjoy drinks while watching a mini-show, which was nice. The menu was clearly introduced on the website in advance, featuring many local Hawaiian ingredients and dishes, and the taste was excellent. The hula dance and fire show performed by the young male and female artists were beautiful and impressive. It was a satisfying show.

週4回の開催で日程がうまくとれた。
オープニングで、船に乗ってカメハメハ大王一団が厳かに上陸するセレモニーが雰囲気を盛り上げてくれ、よかった。

ワイピオ渓谷　乗馬ツアー　絶景のなかを気軽に乗馬体験 ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞ by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

It was a horseback riding tour that made full use of the time, guided by a local. 現地のガイドによる、時間をたっぷり使った乗馬ツアーでした。

Reviewed by: よよいの

Since it was horseback riding in the canyon, the horses didn't run, and although it was my first time riding, I was able to enjoy it thoroughly.

After gathering at Art Works, all participants took a 4WD down to the canyon. (This alone was quite impressive.) Once we reached the bottom, there was a quick explanation of the horses we would be paired with for the day, and then we started riding. When I participated, two staff members taught us how to hold the reins and operate the horse in English.

The riding time felt ample, and we progressed slowly while enjoying the views of the canyon.

<Personal Recommended Items>
1. Insect repellent spray
2. Waterproof case to hang an action camera or smartphone around your neck
3. Sunscreen

Along the way, there were puddles and rivers, so I thought it would be good to spray waterproofing on my athletic shoes to prevent mud and water from splashing.

I was satisfied to experience a horseback riding adventure that I can only enjoy in Hawaii.

渓谷での乗馬なので馬が走ったりすることもなく、初めての乗馬でしたが十分に楽しむことができました。

アートワークスに集合後、参加者全員で４WDに乗って渓谷まで下りていきます。(すでにこれがかなり見ごたえあります)
下までおりた後は、早速一人ひとりにその日のペアとなる馬の説明があって乗馬開始です。
私が参加したときは２名のスタッフの方が英語で手綱の握り方、操作を教えてくれました。

乗馬時間はたっぷりと感じるくらいいあり、渓谷の景色を眺めながらゆっくりと進んで良来ます。

＜個人的　おすすめ携行品＞
① 虫よけスプレー
② アクションカメラや、スマホを首からぶら下げられる防水ケース
③ 日焼け止め

道中、水たまりや川があって泥や水が跳ね返る場合があるので、運動靴などに防水スプレーをかけていくと良いなと思いました。

ハワイ島だからこそ見れる景色で、普段できない乗馬体験をすることができて満足しました。

I would give it 0 points.

We weren't even able to set sail, and there was no communication.

I had booked a hotel transfer plan, but when the time came, the bus didn't arrive. When I called, I was told, "We found a defect in the boat, and we can no longer set sail." If it were due to weather or something similar, that would be one thing, but a defect in the boat?

Moreover, there was no communication at all, and I only found out it was canceled after I reached out.

We were on our honeymoon, and it was truly disappointing. I was told I could reschedule for another day, but there's no guarantee that the same issue won't happen again, and I can't trust this company, so I canceled.

I urge the tour company to establish a system that allows for immediate communication in case of cancellations, so that no one else has to go through this kind of experience. In this day and age, there are countless ways to communicate, including email, chat, and apps, not just phone calls.

I hope no one else has to suffer the same fate.

ケアウホウ湾　シーカヤック＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞by オーシャンサファリ・カヤック

There were no Japanese people, but it was fun. 日本人はいませんでしたが、楽しかったです

Reviewed by: MA3

I found a similar tour that offered Japanese language support, but since this one was cheaper, I decided to join this tour instead. I passed by the Japanese tour group along the way, and they were following a similar course. The participants there were in their 40s to 60s, so the age group was a bit older.

In our tour, everyone except us was from Europe or America, so we spoke in English. They were friendly people in their 30s, which made for a fun atmosphere that I enjoyed. There were also some adventurous individuals who jumped off the rocks, so I think younger people would have more fun on this English tour.

The sun was strong, but I wore a long-sleeved rash guard, so I managed to avoid a bad sunburn. At first, I hesitated to leave my smartphone and valuables behind, but I was worried about them getting wet, so I decided to hand them over. As expected, I capsized once while kayaking on the way back and got soaked, so anyone going in the future should definitely leave their valuables before getting on the kayak.

似たようなツアーで日本語OKのものがあったのですが、値段が安かったのでこちらのツアーに参加しました。日本語ツアー組も途中すれ違ったので、似たようなコースを進んでいました。そちらの参加者は40～60代だったので高めの年齢層でした。

私たちのツアーは、私たち以外は欧米人だったので、英語でしゃべっていました。彼らは30代前後の友好的な人達だったので、私も楽しい雰囲気で楽しめました。
岩場から飛び降りたりしていたやんちゃな人もいたので、若い人ならこちらの英語のツアーの方が楽しめると思います。

日差しが強かったのですが、長袖のラッシュを着ていたので、ひどい日焼けはしなくて済みました。最初、スマホや貴重品を預けるのを躊躇したのですが、水没が心配だったので預けることにしました。案の定、カヤックで帰ってくるときに1回転覆してびしょびしょになったので、これから行く人は迷わず貴重品はカヤックに乗る前に預けた方が賢明です。

However, I was informed that since the headquarters is located on Oahu, I could switch to a local tour there, and I was able to join a dolphin swim tour in Oahu!

That tour was amazing, as I got to swim with many dolphins.

Although I was disappointed not to see mantas on the manta tour, the comprehensive guarantee system helped me avoid feeling like I lost out. I highly recommend this company's tours over others.

I thought it would be about two hours, but it ended up being close to three hours, which was enjoyable.

The show itself wasn't much different from what I've seen outside of Hawaii.

２時間ほどかと思っていたら、３時間近くあって長く楽しめた。ただ、最初の２時間くらいは、司会者の話と演奏でなかなか、本来のハワイアンショーが始まらない。せかせかせず、ハワイタイムを過ごせということかも知れないが。

The guide spoke English and was very knowledgeable about history, answering any questions we had. Additionally, to protect the coral, we were allowed to use environmentally friendly sunscreen for free. The water was truly beautiful, and I was able to see many cute fish! It was February, but I enjoyed myself without a rash guard. It was a bit chilly, so I couldn't stay in the water the whole time... haha. After snorkeling, they provided fresh fruit, snacks, and drinks on the boat! It was really great!

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Honeymoon Highlight!

Reviewed by: MsTravelGal

I wouldn't give this tour five stars...I give it as many stars as there are in the Mauna Kea sky! This tour was easily the highlight of our trip on the Big Island! We enjoyed every minute of it. The sunset was absolutely gorgeous, and to see it from such a high elevation was quite remarkable. I was glad that we had plenty of time before and after the sunset to walk around, take in the view, and get some good pictures.

The dinner was very good but if you don't like lasagna there's a microwave at VIS if you want to bring your own food.

The road to the summit is a bit bumpy, but that's to be expected since it's a volcano. So take motion sickness meds if you're prone to carsickness. And if you get cold easily, definitely bring layers! They provide parkas and gloves but you might also want to bring a hat or scarf and thick socks.

Throughout the tour, the guide provided a very entertaining and educational narrative. It's obvious that he's passionate about Mauna Kea and Hawaii. He's basically a walking encyclopedia of Hawaii and provided all kinds of interesting information about Mauna Kea's geology and history, and also talked about Hawaiian culture and why Mauna Kea is a sacred place. He also did an excellent job of guiding the stargazing and pointing out constellations, star clusters, and planets, most of which we got to see through a telescope. I think my favorite part of the stargazing was getting to see the Andromeda galaxy through the telescope.

If you're going to the Big Island, this tour is a must!

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Highlight of my Big Island trip. Must do!

Reviewed by: Michael

This Mauana Kea summit and stargazing tour was phenomenal. The first stop is at the visitor center around 9k feet elevation. Here you can look through a couple telescopes, walk through the museum, and you will be served your hot dinner (we had veggie lasagna and it was good). While you are here it is good to eat and drink alot of water so your body can acclimate to the higher altitudes ahead. Next stop is the summit up to almost 14k feet! The Vans they take up are heavy duty and they need to be because of the rocky road leading up the mountain. I would not reccomend taking a rental/personal vehicle up this mountain. The road is rocky, thin, and windy. The guides for this tour have been doing it for years and know the road well. On the way up the guides will give you some commentary about the mountain which is a cool little history lesson. At the top it is cold and the oxygen is thin, so be ready! They provide you with a winter coat and gloves but I recommend bringing your own hat. The views from the summit are outstanding. Watching the sun set from up there is really remarkable, and you can walk around to the 12 massive telescopes up there to take pictures. After the summit you will descend a couple thousand feet to the star gazing location. With no light pollution and at the high altitude it provides for the star gazing experience of a lifetime. I have never seen the sky lit up so brightly with constellations. The guides will break out a couple of heavy duty telescopes from the vans so you can get an even closer look. They will educate you about the constellations and give alot of really good information. Overall this is an impeccable tour and a must do if you are going to the Big Island!

Kona Glassbottom Boat & Guided Coral Reef Tour with Marine Naturalist

Disappointing

Reviewed by: Colin

We found this trip rather disappointing. It was supposed to last for an hour but we returned to the pier after 50 minutes. In the event we had probably seen all there was to see after 20 minutes. You see rather dull brown/grey coral, some small blue and yellow fish and some sea urchins - No wrays or sharks or anything unusual. In fact the guide started to describe the history of the buildings on the shoreline as we headed back. Not worth the money.

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＞

My first solo trip to Hawaii Island. 初めての一人ハワイ島

Reviewed by: kazu

I have visited Oahu, Hawaii several times with friends. However, I wanted to see the volcano, so I participated alone for the first time. The flight I booked was canceled, but I was recommended another course and joined that instead. Due to the weather, I couldn't achieve my original goal, but I enjoyed the experience of riding in a helicopter and traveling alone. I was able to participate with peace of mind thanks to the prompt response I received. Thank you very much.

ハワイ、オアフ島は何度か友人と訪れています。
ただ、火山が見たくて一人初めて別行動で参加させて戴きました。申し込んだ便は中止になり別のコースをお勧めして戴き参加しました。天候の為当初の目的は果たせませんでしたが。ヘリコプターに乗れて一人旅を経験できて楽しかったです。敏速な対応をして頂き安心して参加出来ました。ありがとうございました。

Guided Waipio Valley Horseback Riding & Waterfall Tour [Closed]

MADE THE TRIP!

Reviewed by: Allie Bellinghauasen

This is one of the best horseback riding experiences my boyfriend and I have ever had! The instructions on how to get to the location were very well written out so it was a breeze to find! Our instructors were fantastic! They are the type of people who love what they do and are incredibly passionate and it shows! We were very excited, so it was great to have the energy matched! The ride was absolutely breathtaking! The high mountains that surround the area are a wonderful sight to take in, great for photo ops as well. All of the horses are well behaved and a joy to be around. When we find ourselves back in the area we will definitely be stopping by again. If you tend to get carsick, you may want to take some motion sickness medication before the drive down to the valley. Its quite bumpy but totally worth it!
