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

Healing. 癒される

Reviewed by: smile

We participated as a family of four. There were also two couples, making a total of eight people. I think we were on the horses for just under two hours.

Everything was in English, but the staff was very friendly and explained the history of Waipi'o Valley in a way that was easy to understand.

The weather was nice, and riding horses in nature was very relaxing.

While the service wasn't overly luxurious, they took family photos from various angles, and even when there were delays or the line got mixed up, we were guided smoothly without feeling rushed, allowing us to enjoy the scenery with peace of mind.

The kids were very satisfied, so we would like to participate again.

The cat in the stable was cute.

家族4人で参加しました。
他はカップル2組の合計8名でした。
馬に乗っていたのは二時間弱だと思います。

全て英語でしたが、とてもフレンドリーなスタッフでワイピオ渓谷の歴史などもとても分かりやすく説明してくれました。

天気が良かった事もあり、自然の中をのんびりと馬に乗りながらとても癒されました。

至れり尽くせりのサービスではありませんが、家族での写真も色々な角度で撮ってくれましたし、列が乱れたり、遅れたりしても急かされる事なく、上手く誘導してもらえたので、安心して風景を楽しめました。

子供達も大満足だったので、また参加したいと思います。

Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona

Fantastic

Reviewed by: Montalvo Family

We were a family of 7 visiting Hawaii for the first time in July 2018 and swimming with the Mantas sounded like a dream. We went out and was disappointed when only 2 Mantas showed up but I only saw one. To our surprise the captain announced that he planned on going back out later and anyone who wished to go back out was welcomed to stay onboard. Well needless to say we went back out to the south side of the island and to our amazement we were blessed to not only swim with one but with seven Mantas. The experience was outstanding one I will never forget. The captain and crew was courteous and professional and I highly recommend Ocean Encounters.

Terrific

Reviewed by: KL from NJ

We were lucky as the weather was cool and cloudy, but did not rain. Our guides were terrific. We had our "safety" talks and felt very comfortable with the safety harness and double clips used. Our party had ziplined before in Colorado and Costa Rica, so we had comparisons. Our guides were entertaining, knowledgeable and very patient. We did see wildlife - a hawk and of course, the mongoose. We did not want it to end.

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

Out of this world experience

Reviewed by: KL from NJ

The crew were terrific. We had a long lengthy talk about "safety" and what to do and what not to do to keep us and the manta rays safe. Initially, the area looked crowded as there were a handful of boats out in the same area. We booked this excursion early on in our stay as Sea Paradise offers 100% guarantee that we will see manta rays. If we don't, we can come back for free. As we started, the manta rays were swimming underneath us immediately. We had an unusually fantastic night as we were told that normal nights, there were 4 manta rays. Our night, we had 6-8, I loose track. They were so close to us, tumbling and doing their ballets. We had at least 30 minutes of their bellies being 2 inches away from our faces. What an unforgettable night! Hot chocolate as we came out of the water to keep us warm. Lots of snacks on board.

マンタ大学夜学部　野生のマンタ＆ナイトシュノーケリングツアー ＜送迎可／日本語スタッフ乗船日あり＞ *48時間前までキャンセル無料

Rather than swimming... 泳ぐというよりは・・・

Reviewed by: Mrun

I was really looking forward to swimming with manta rays! We boarded a small boat and after about 30 minutes of travel, the waves were so rough that it felt like a roller coaster ride! It was amazing. ><;

(The instructor said, "Everyone did a great job!")

When we arrived at the site, we listened to the safety instructions and then entered the water one by one, but instead of swimming, we were just floating. We stretched out our legs (keeping a kicking position) and watched as the graceful manta rays swam beneath us. Since they are wild manta rays, we couldn't swim alongside them. Seeing them glide elegantly right in front of me made me go, "Wow!" but it was different from what I had imagined. My mother (80 years old) and my sister (in her 60s), who participated with me, said they wished there had been a clearer explanation of how to snorkel. It seemed to be a bit difficult for the older participants.

On the way back, as everyone mentioned, it was quite cold, so precautions are necessary. There are no changing facilities, so I think it's important to be flexible in preparing for that as well.

マンタを泳ぐ！となっていたので、かなり期待していました。小さなボートに乗り、進むこと30分くらい？波が大荒れだったのと、先端に乗っていたのとでジェットコースター以上の体感！凄かったです。><;
（「みなさん、よく頑張りました！」とインストラクターさんからの一言）
現場に到着し、注意事項を聞いて、次々に海に入りますが…泳ぐのではなく、浮いている状態。足をのばし（蹴伸びしている状態をキープ）その下を、優雅にマンタが泳いできてくれるという光景。野生のマンタですもの、一緒に泳ぐことはできないんですね。自分の目の前を優雅に泳いでいく姿を見るのは、「わぁー！」と思いましたが、想像していたのとは、違っていました。一緒に参加していた母(80歳）とお姉さま（60代）の二人は、「シュノーケリングの仕方？をしっかり説明してほしかった」と言っていました。年配の方には難しかったみたいです。
帰りは、皆さんがおっしゃるようにかなり寒いので、対策は必要です。着替える場所はないので、そのあたりも臨機応変に対策が必要だと思います。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail

Very few places could match this experience

Reviewed by: Darra

Very few places could match this experience. The location; the slow climb up the giant sloping mountain. We went through rain, sun, even through a cloud; through the lava landscape, ranch lands and very bumpy rocky last stretch of road to reach the top! And wow it was a view from the top.
Be warned; it is very very cold; not what you expect from your Hawaiian break! You get nice warm coats from the tour group though (and later a little hot cocoa and brownie to keep you going!)
As the sun sets; you can see the mountains shadow on the other side; a glimpse of Maui and the glint of the sun off the telescopes preparing for their nights work. You can see the odd bit of movement as they open up. As soon as the suns down; its all go though. We have to leave the area quickly as the lights from the cars interfere with the telescopes (so no, there is no looking around inside them; if that is what you're hoping for in this trip!).
We move down slope a little to a good spot to see the huge expanse of clear, cloudless sky and the abundance of stars.
It is slightly interrupted with the brightness of the moon (so depending how long your stay is in Hawaii, plan for a darker night, unless you love the moon!); but not enough to stop us seeing nebula, planets and stars - its a really interesting spot to see both the northern and southern skies.
We did also spot a bit of the glow from the erupting volcano

Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona

Equally awe-inspiring and nerve-wracking

Reviewed by: Darra

I only add the nerve wracking part as it was something I did with a little trepidation - the idea of swimming in the ocean, in the dark, in the cold with a little tube to breathe through... However, I like to do something that scares every once in a while as the fear usually is nothing when actually doing the activity and this one was definitely the case in this experience. The guides were excellent and talked everyone through and kept everyone relaxed. You had a half wet suit to help with the cold; the water was lit up (to attract the plankton and mantas); the snorkel you soon forgot once you were floating in pure amazement and smiles as these giants swooped below you and then treated to the bright white display of them underneath as they rolled to eat up the plankton. Complete gentle giants; and not at all scary but just delightful

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＞

I am satisfied, but it was a little different. 満足ですが、ちょっと違った。

Reviewed by: HOb

The day before the tour, I received a notification about a change in the pickup time. It was only 15 minutes earlier, but since I don't frequently check my emails while traveling, I almost missed it.

On the day of the tour, there were other guests, but perhaps due to the large number of participants, our family of four was directed to a larger boat that seemed to be a different English tour boat called "Hang Loose." We joined about 20 foreign guests on board. A Japanese guide accompanied us, and since the explanations were provided in Japanese, we had no difficulties. However, it felt a bit misleading to call this a "small group of up to 10 people" (although it was true that the guide was only responsible for our family of four). I also felt that the content of the tour was somewhat different from what other Japanese guests experienced.

In the end, I actually thought it was better for our family to be on the boat we were assigned to. First, the Japanese guide who also handled the transportation to the hotel was dedicated solely to our family of four, creating a private guide experience. On the boat, they were attentive to our health and provided light snacks, and they constantly supported our two elementary school children, who were not very familiar with the sea, which made us feel secure.

Shortly after departure, we spotted dolphins and entered the water twice. Although we didn't spend a long time in the water due to our inexperience with snorkeling, the children were able to see the dolphins. After the second time, when we got back on the boat, it sped off to a distant location. The guide informed us that this boat also takes guests to Captain Cook. In the waters in front of the Captain Cook monument, we were able to leisurely see many fish while snorkeling. It seemed that the relaxed snorkeling at Captain Cook suited our children better than the hurried movements chasing dolphins. After that, the boat returned while we enjoyed the view of the cliffs along the coast.

Although the content was somewhat different from what was described at the time of booking, our family was very satisfied with the tour, and we are very grateful to the guide who assisted us. However, if you strongly wish to swim with dolphins, you might be disappointed if you end up on a boat similar to ours.

ツアー前日の午後になって、ピックアップ時間変更の連絡がありました。集合が15分早くなっただけでしたが、旅先で頻繁にメールを見ているわけではないので、危うく見過ごすところでした。
当日は他のお客さんも居ましたが、参加人数が多かったせいか、うちの家族4人は他の参加者とは異なる大き目の船へ案内されました。案内されたのは Hang loose と書かれた別の英語のツアー船のようで、20人程度の外国のお客さんの中にうちの家族4人が同乗する形。日本人のガイドの方が同行してくれて、説明等は日本語で聞けたので何の不自由もありませんでしたが、これを「最大10名の少人数制」と呼ぶのか？？？という感じ（確かに日本人ガイドさんが担当しているのはうちの4人だけではありますが）。 ツアーの内容も他の日本人のお客さんとは異なるものだったような気がします。
ただ、結果としては、うちの家族にとっては、むしろ案内された船で良かったと思いました。まず、ホテルまでの送迎も担当してくれた日本人ガイドさんが、我が家の4名のみに付きっ切りというプライベートガイド状態。船上では体調や軽食などいろいろ気配りをしていただき、海中では海が不慣れな小学生の2人の子供を常にサポートしてもらい安心できました。
出港後、ほどなくイルカを見つけ海に入ったのが2回。シュノーケルに不慣れで手間取ったこともあって、そんなに長い時間ではありませんでしたが、子供たちもイルカを見ることができました。2回目が終わって船に上がったところで船はスピードを上げて遠方へ。ガイドさんから、この船はキャプテンクックにも案内していると教えてもらいました。キャプテンクックの記念碑の前の海ではシュノーケリングでたくさんの魚をのんびり見ることができました。うちの子供達にはイルカを追って慌ただしく動くよりも、キャプテンクックでのゆったりしたシュノーケリングの方が合っていたようです。その後、船は海岸沿いの崖を見物しながら帰港しました。
申し込み時の案内とは内容が多少異なっていましたが、我が家的には非常に満足できるツアーでしたし、担当してくれたガイドさんにも非常に感謝しております。
ただ、もしイルカと泳ぎたいということを強く願って参加される場合は、今回の我々と同じような船に同乗することになると残念に思ってしまうかもしれません。

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＞

I would like to eliminate the need for reconfirmation the day before. 前日のリコンファームは不要にしてほしいです

Reviewed by: くみにゃん

The phone call for reconfirmation until the day before was a hassle. I don't understand why it's necessary when I've already paid with a credit card. Moreover, since I was planning to participate on the day of arrival, I had to call from Japan considering the time difference.

When I asked about the rain policy, they said that if it rains heavily, we would go under the roof. In the case of a storm, they would decide around 5 PM whether to cancel or not.

After reading other people's experiences, I was surprised to see a long line when I went to line up before 5 PM! Perhaps it was because it was the high season in late July. Registration started at 5:30 PM, and we got to wear shell leis for photos. You can upgrade to flower or nut leis for an additional fee. You can refuse the photo session.

Seating is based on the order of the line. If you pay about 20 dollars more, you can get a table at the very front.

The host talks a lot and sings as well. The English isn't too difficult, and you can still enjoy it even if you don't understand everything. There are hula lessons, traditional games, and stamp tattoos. They show you the whole roasted pig being pulled up, followed by a performance where the king lands from the sea. You're instructed to get your meal from the front tables. Drinks are all-you-can-drink (some are paid), but the bar is far away and inconvenient.

You can see dances from various Polynesian regions. The fire dance was the most exciting. I saw a similar show at Fish Eye in Guam, but the stage here is smaller overall, and there are fewer dancers. The fire dance only has one male performer.

I can tell they are trying to entertain us, but it was very long, and I ended up dozing off a bit.

At the end, you can take photos with the dancers using your phone or other devices. No one seemed to be tipping. The price of the show is much cheaper than in Waikiki, but since I haven't seen it in Waikiki, I can't compare the cost performance.

前日までのリコンファームの電話が面倒です。クレジットカードで支払い済みなのに、どうして必要なのかがわかりません。しかも、到着当日の参加を予定していたので、時差を考えて日本から電話しなくてはなりませんでした。
雨の場合を聞いたところ、かなり降ったら屋根の下に入ると言っていました。嵐の場合は5時頃に中止するかどうか決めるとのことでした。

他の方の体験談を拝見し、5時前に並びに行ったら、既に大行列でビックリ！！7月下旬のハイシーズンだったからでしょうか。5時半から受付が始まり、貝殻のレイをかけてもらって写真撮影。レイはお金を払えばお花や木の実のレイにアップグレードできます。写真撮影は拒否できます。
座席は並んだもの順で前からです。20ドルくらい多く払うと、最も前のテーブルになるようです。

ホストの方がしゃべるしゃべる。歌も歌う。そんなに難しい英語ではないし、分からなくても楽しめます。フラのレッスンや伝統ゲームに興じたり、スタンプタトゥーがあります。
豚の丸焼きを引き上げるのを見せてくれ、直後に王が海から上陸する演出。食事は前方テーブルからに取りにいくよう指示されます。飲み物は飲み放題ですが（一部有料）、バーが遠くて面倒です。
ここまでが長いこと！

ポリネシア各地の踊りを見せてもらえます。ファイアーダンスが一番盛り上がっていました。グアムのフィッシュアイでも同様のショーを見ましたが、こちらは全体的にステージが小さくダンサーの数は少ないです。ファイヤーダンスも男性が一人だけです。

色々と楽しませようとしてくださっているのは伝わるのですが、とても長いので、一部寝てしまいました。

最後はダンサーの方と手持ちの携帯などで写真を撮れます。特にチップを払っている人はいませんでした。ショーのお値段はワイキキよりずっと安いですが、ワイキキでは見ていないので、コスパ比較はできません。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail

Cool Views from the Top of the World!

Reviewed by: Ned from New Jersey

Our guide Jeff picked us up from the Pu'u Huluhulu Cinder Cone parking lot, at the base of the road up to the summit. We had a very nice pre-packaged dinner at the base camp, then rode up to the visitor center and onward to the observatories. A bumpy and steep ride, I was very happy to have an experienced driver at the wheel!
At the top the weather was cool and clear and good for viewing a sunset, then we went down to a slightly lower lot to view stars and planets through a good quality Celestron scope.... the clear air and high altitude really added detail! First time I have been able to make out the rings of Saturn, and four of Jupiter's moons were posing really well for us! Some really excellent deep space views too! Check out a cool image of the moon from the Celestron scope....

Highly recommended, especially if you live somewhere with so much haze and light pollution you don't get to see that stars that well!

I participated with my middle school daughter. Both of us lacked sufficient English skills, so there were many parts of the guide's explanations that we couldn't understand. They would answer our questions, but there wasn't much kindness or consideration shown. It was raining quite a bit, and it felt like we were just turning back on the same path, making the journey monotonous. The rain gear they provided was excellent, and we didn't get wet at all in the covered areas. I wonder if it would have felt nice if it had been sunny.

Volcano Lava Ocean Boat Tour - Daytime, Sunrise & Sunset Active Lava Viewing

Lava boat tour

Reviewed by: Steve Seed

Overall, the trip was outstanding. The views were great...a once in a lifetime opportunity. I would recommend this tour to anyone that doesn’t get sea sick.
The only reason I gave 4 rather than 5 stars is I grew up on the Pacific Ocean and have piloted 16’ boat through much choppier waters than we saw. The tour advertises you WILL get wet, and you WILL “feel” the ride, and our captain MADE sure each of us did just that. Unnecessary bottoming out of the boat, turning into waves to drench the passengers and speeding into wave swells made an awesome, incredible trip just good. Speaking to my wife, and several other families that we met on the boat afterward, they all had the same independent view that the captain and crew intentionally made the ride tougher and drenched the passengers to “live up” to their online advertising.
About two weeks prior to our trip, the “lava bomb” was all over the news(yes, it was the same company) and it was well documented that the captains needed to stay at least 900 feet away from lava flowing into the ocean per US coast guard regulations. You’d think that with the recent accident, the captain would’ve been much more safety conscious than what was described above, as well as getting within 150-200 feet on numerous occasions.

Volcano Lava Ocean Boat Tour - Daytime, Sunrise & Sunset Active Lava Viewing

Once in a life time experience

Reviewed by: YOPPI

I wasn't sure if the tour was worth the money, and also read one negative review about this, which made me hesitant to book the tour. But with the current situation with volcano, the ways available to see lava is either by air or from a boat. I decided to go with the more affordable one.
The ride was very rough. It was fun at first but by the time we got to the point where we can see lava my husband was sea sick and pretty much throwing up everything he had for breakfast and didn't have any energy to actually enjoy the view. I was feeling a bit sick too but not enough to throw up and was able to see how lava was flowing into ocean and how smoke/steam was rising. The view was absolutely spectacular and I don't think you can see anything like that unless you come here. Hence, I'd recommend the tour to everyone but with a medicine for sea sick just in case ;)

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＞

Plenty of dolphins and plenty of time. イルカたっぷり、時間もたっぷり

Reviewed by: カハラ

The tour that day consisted of just two people, including myself, who had snorkeling experience. I'm grateful they held the tour with the minimum number of participants.

First, we searched for dolphins off the coast of Kailua-Kona. There were many tour boats gathering around a pod of dolphins, and the sea was already filled with people! The waters off Kailua-Kona were as crowded as Takeshita Street! Amidst all this, Captain K skillfully predicted the dolphins' movements and dropped us in an area with fewer people.

By repeating the process of moving the boat, dropping us, surfacing, and moving again, we were able to chase the pod of dolphins more dynamically, doubling our chances! Dolphins surfaced right in front of us to breathe and passed by!

According to our guide, "Dolphins will avoid people if they're in a bad mood," but today we were lucky, and the dolphins didn't seem to mind people. It was a lucky day! I had a fantastic time on the tour! When I visit the Big Island again, I will definitely join another tour! Mahalo!

当日のツアーはシュノーケル経験のある方と私の２名でした。
ツアー最小挙行人数で開催してくれて感謝です。

まずはドルフィンを探してカイルアコナの沖へ
ポイントには沢山のツアーボートがドルフィンの群れを
追い集結しており、海には沢山の人が既にいる状態！
カイルアコナ沖が竹下通りのごとく人人人！
そん中船長のKさんうまくドルフィンの動きを予想して
あまり人混みのない海域で私たちをドロップさせてくれました。

船移動→ドロップ→上がってまた移動→ドロップ
と繰り返すことで機動的にドルフィンの群れを追うことで
チャンスが倍増！
すぐ目の前をドルフィンたちがブローのため浮上して通過して行く！

ガイドさん曰く「ドルフィンも機嫌が悪いと人を極端に避ける」そうで
今日は運が良くドルフィンたちも人を嫌がらない
ラッキーデイだね！と言っていただき
大満足なツアーを過ごせました！
またハワイ島を訪れる時はまたツアーに参加します！
Mahalo!
