Family-Friendly Kohala & Waikoloa Whale Watching and Sailing Tour - Ocean Sports [Dec - Mar]

Awesome

Reviewed by: Meme

Wow we saw momma baby and daddy humpbacks was saw whales all around us their tales were enormous it was the best day. We went mid morning the catamaran was spacious and very comfortable. Easy to board. The crew was very informative and friendly they were just as excited with all the action around us. We went in February 2015. I would highly recommend this tour.

Hilo Garden, Maze & Waterfalls Self-Guided Tour - Botanical World Adventures

Beautiful Garden & Waterfalls!

Reviewed by: BeachBoy

I stayed in Hilo, and I participated on this tour on the way to Waipio. It's only 20min drive from Hilo, and the place was beautiful. I loved the casual walk in the natural rain forest, and it was like being in the Jurassic Park movie. The waterfall was secluded and awesome. I'd recommend this to anyone and especially the ones with small kids.

Helicopter Circle Island Flights with Landing Option from Kona [Not Operating]

Best birthday ever!

Reviewed by: MT Travelers

I did this tour on my 60th birthday. It was the best experience of my life! The helicopter pilot, Marko, was knowledgeable as well as entertaining. We saw the amazingly varied terrain of the Big Island but the best was seeing the Kilauea Caldera and lava pool as well as places where the lava was slowing flowing. The Kohala area was unbelievably beautiful. A bonus - the great coffee made by Marko at the midway stop. I would highly recommend this tour especially if your time in Hawaii is limited and you want to see it all in comfort.

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>

The dancer's performance was wonderful. ダンサーの踊りは素敵

Reviewed by: kaori Moriya

On the day of my arrival in Hawaii, I was feeling jet-lagged and didn't have the energy to move around, so I decided to stay at the King Kamehameha Hotel. At first, it was enjoyable, but as the evening progressed, it got a bit chilly for the beach show, and the food was just average. I started to get bored with the show. The dancing was beautiful, but the time spent listening to the host talk while the dancers changed backstage was very dull. I guess it really is a language barrier...

ハワイ到着当日は時差ぼけもあるため動く気にもならず宿泊がキングカメハメハホテルだったので申し込みをしました。最初は楽しかったのですが、ビーチでのショーのため夕方少し涼しいのがだんだん寒くなり、ご飯も普通だしショーも飽きてしまいました。踊りは素敵だったのですが、ダンサーが裏で着替える間の時間稼ぎに司会者がしゃべるこの時間がとてもつまらなかったです。やはり言葉の壁ですかね・・・

Dear Kaori Moriya,

Thank you for visiting the Island Breeze Luau. I hope you are doing well despite the chilly weather and any fatigue you may have experienced.

I wish to create a luau show that can overcome any language barriers.

My husband wasn't too excited about coming to Hawaii but his one request was to fly in a helicopter to see the volcanos. His choice was the open door option. Neither having been in a helicopter before I at least had some trepidations. It was a blast! Our pilot, Rhys, a Kiwi, was very knowledgeable and a good pilot. Thank you!
And yes, you can feel the heat from the lava. Good times!

Hilo Garden, Maze & Waterfalls Self-Guided Tour - Botanical World Adventures

Great Tour - nice People!

Reviewed by: Anne

I highly recommend the tour of the botanical garden. I opted for the in-person tour and it was well worth the cost. I got a private tour, with far more information than just being told about the plants. "Doc" was very knowledgeable about the plants and their origins. I learned a great deal and got to taste and smell many different varieties. As an added plus, your admission lets you come back for a week and walk around, see the waterfall, picnic, etc.

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>

It was good. よかったです。

Reviewed by: さちえ

I hesitated because the price was high, but I heard that if the volcanic activity is not active, I wouldn't be able to see a volcano erupting lava even if I took the time to walk there, so I chose to take a helicopter.

In fact, I was able to see the bubbling lava from above the crater.

In the ocean, I also saw a mother whale and her calf.

Flying through the valley of Waipi'o Valley in the helicopter was very mystical and wonderful. It was a unique experience that only a helicopter can provide, and I really enjoyed it.

値段が高いので迷いましたが、火山活動が活発ではなければ、時間をかけて歩いて見に行っても溶岩を噴火する火山を見られないと聞いてヘリコプターを選択しました。

実際火口を上から見て、ボコボコ湧き出る溶岩が見られました。

海では、鯨の親子も見えました。

ワイピオ渓谷の渓谷の谷間をヘリで縫うように飛んでくれて、とても神秘的で素晴らしかったです。ヘリコプターならではの体験ができ、とてもよかったです。

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ <12~3月/午前/軽食付き/ワイコロアまたはカワイハエ港発>

Excited by the sight of the humpback whale. ざとうくじらの姿に興奮

Reviewed by: Kamerin

I participated on the last day. In the morning, we got on the boat, and there were many people from overseas who were excited, shouting "Yay!!!" when the whales appeared. My experience during the New Year was just the beginning, but from now until around March, humpback whales will be migrating south to Hawaii, so they can be seen quite well. The lookout staff and the captain pointed out, "Over there!" As we moved closer, we saw a mother and calf, along with various other forms, spouting water and showing their tails as they dove... Towards the end, they chased the boat and swam underneath it. Such an experience is hard to come by, but those who are prone to seasickness should be careful.

最終日に参加しました。
午前中にふねにのりましたが、海外からの方が多くクジラが出てくると
のりのりで『イエ〜〜〜〜〜〜イ!!」
私の行った年末年始はまだ序の口のようですがこの後3月くらいまでハワイではザトウくじらが散乱の為に南下してきますからよく見えます。
見張り役の方々とキャプテンがあの辺り!火事を進めて行くと2匹親子で、雄のみなど様々な形態で
潮を吹き尻尾を見せて潜ったり・・・・最後の方は船を追いかけてくぐって行きました。

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour from Hilo [Not Operating]

Worst helicopter experience

Reviewed by: Sandra

This was not my first doors off helicopter experience in the Hawaiian islands but definitely the worst. First, you should know that even though you pay full money for doors off you may get stuck in a cramped little seat between another passenger and the pilot in the front. You have no choice where you sit as you are assigned your seat. Good luck trying to get any pictures from that spot. The pilot takes you out the same way as he returns....over flat nothing. There is a tiny spec of lava (maybe) but it sure no spouting red flowing lava as advertised. You do not fly over the ocean at all so you dont see any ocean lava flow. There is definitely NO NO heat. There are fly zone restrictions so you cant get near the pahoa town they talk about to respect the privacy of the residents. You see a couple waterfalls from so far away... It is riduculous. Save your money... Go to Kauai..... Those doors off tours are true.... Everyone gets a doors off spot. Everyone can see. You fly right into the waterfall areas. You see things you will never forget. This was a wasted day of our vacation not to mention the huge cost..... To see nothing. At least they could have flown back another way over the coastline or something. I would not recommend this to anyone. Very disappointed and wasted money.

It might be good for someone you like. 好きな人には良いかも

Reviewed by: S&A

First of all, I think you shouldn't expect too much from the meals. Also, my husband and I both didn't understand much English, so we couldn't follow what the host was saying and couldn't keep up with the atmosphere in the venue. Additionally, when we took a dinner cruise later, there was a similar show, so if you are considering participating in both, it might not be necessary. Furthermore, many hotels host similar shows every other day, so you might be able to experience the atmosphere just by passing by without going out of your way to see it.

まず食事はあまり期待しないほうがいいかと思います。
また、私たち夫婦は二人共あまり英語がわからなかったので、司会の人が話されていることは全然理解できず、会場内のノリについていけませんでした。
また、後日ディナークルーズに乗船した際、同じような内容のショーがあったのでもし両方参加を検討されているようでしたら必要ないかと思います。
また、ホテルによっては同じようなショーが隔日くらいのペースで開催されているところも多いので、わざわざ見に行かなくても通りがかり程度で雰囲気は味わえるかもしれません。

Reviewed by: YUMI at KAILUA KONA

The view of Hawaii Island from the helicopter was amazing. I was very satisfied to see the lava as well. I got so close to the lava that I could even feel the smell and temperature, which was really exciting. I wasn't expecting much, but Waipi'o Valley and the neighboring valley were wonderful, with breathtaking scenery. The waterfalls were also incredibly beautiful. The helicopter pilot got really close to the lava and waterfalls, allowing us to see many sights I had never seen before. I highly recommend it. I want to experience it again.

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>

It's a show that allows you to experience Hawaii. ハワイを実感できるショーです

Reviewed by: 若く見えるが実はおじさん

This time, my spouse and I stayed on the Big Island for six days.

We only booked the "Deluxe Tour to World Heritage Site Kilauea and Mauna Kea Stargazing (Volcano and Stars in One Day!) by Kailani Tours Hawaii" through VELTRA, so we also signed up for this plan to fully enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere. It was definitely the right choice!

Although there were opinions in the reviews that everything was in English and it wouldn't be fun unless you were proficient in the language, I’m posting this to alleviate those concerns and help others enjoy it more.

1. First, the coupon reception
I attached a photo, but when you enter the Kamehameha Hotel and go to the right at the dedicated reception, you can present your coupon, and they will tell you the meeting place. (Staff were present at this reception from the morning.) This map was provided by the hotel. Since I’m not good at English, bringing it along to ask about the meeting place was a good decision. I might not have understood it just verbally... (It was in an area that seemed to explain Hawaii's history within the hotel.)

2. Meeting place and landmarks
I attached a photo for this as well, but there will be signs in the hotel, so that’s where you gather. The person at the dedicated reception told me to arrive by 5 PM, but be careful about that! It’s better to arrive about an hour early to secure a good spot in line. I arrived 50 minutes early and was at the front of the general line, but there was already one group in the priority line, and it became a queue after about 20 minutes. The seating is first-come, first-served, so it’s best to gather early!

3. Content
After lining up, I received a free lei (I didn’t purchase the paid ones) and took photos (they will come around selling them), and after checking in, we went to the venue to grab drinks and were shown to our seats. I was the first to arrive and sat in the front row center of the general seating, but the Japanese people who arrived normally and lined up were also seated together in fairly decent spots in a separate group. (It seems they make arrangements so that you can converse with others in Japanese.)

At the venue, a band was already performing, and there were free services like tattooing and weaving fish with grass. Of course, drinks, including alcohol, were free-flowing.

Dinner started around 6:15 PM, and it gets dark before 7 PM, so it’s best to wrap up your meal and drinks by then.

Having researched the structure of this event through reviews, I was able to enjoy it a lot even though I’m not good at English. It was fun. (I think it would be enjoyable even for families with children!)

今回はハワイ島に夫婦で6日間の滞在でした。

VELTRAさんの「高級バン(メルセデス・ベンツ)で行く!世界遺産キラウエアとマウナケア山麓星空観測(1日で火山と星 ♪)デラックスツアーby カイラニ・ツアーズ・ハワイ」しかツアーは申し込んでいなかったので、ハワイの雰囲気を堪能するためにこのプランも申し込みました。
参加して大正解でした!

口コミではすべて英語なので語学が堪能でないと面白くないとの意見も出ていましたが、そんな不安を解消するためと、より楽しんでもらうために投稿をします。

1.まずはクーポンの受付
 写真を張りましたが、カメハメハホテルを入って右手の専用受付にクーポンを出すと、
 集合場所を教えてくれます。(この受付は朝からスタッフが張り付いていました。)
 この見取り図はホテルでもらった見取り図です。英語が苦手なため持参して集合場所を聞い
 たのは正解でした。口頭だけだとわからなかったかも、、、
 (ホテル内にあるハワイの歴史説明エリアみたいなところでした。)

2.集合場所や目印
 これも写真を張りましたが、ホテル内に看板が出されるのでそこに集合です。
 専用受付の人は17時に行けばいいと教えてくれますが、そこは注意!
 約一時間前に行って列の先頭をとれるかとれないかの感じです。私は50分前に行って
 一般列の先頭でしたが、既に優先席列には一組並んでいましたし、20分ぐらいしたら行列
 になっています。観覧席は早いもの順なので早めの集合が良いですよ!

3.内容
 行列に並んだあと、無料レイ(有料例は購入しませんでした)を受けもらって撮影後
 (会場で売りに来ます)、本受付をしたのちに会場までいって飲み物を取って席に案内を
 してもらいます。
 私は一番乗りで一般席最前列中央でしたが、普通に来て並んでいた日本人たちは、別グルー
 プでもそんなに悪くない席にある程度まとめて座らせてもらっていました。(日本語で他人
 と会話ができるようにしてくれる配慮みたいです)
 
 会場ではすでにバンドが演奏、タトゥーや草で魚編む体験など無料のサービスがあります。
 もちろん飲み物もアルコールを含めてフリードリンクです。

 1815ぐらいから食事開始で、19時前には手元も暗くなりますから、それまでに食事や飲み
 物はひと段落しておいたほうがいいですね。

ある程度、このイベントの構成等を口コミ等で調べていたので、英語が苦手でもすごく楽しめました。
楽しかったです。(お子様がいても楽しめると思いますよ!)

Thank you for coming to the Island Breeze Luau Show.
And above all, we are filled with gratitude for your warm message.
We appreciate the love we receive from everyone and the opportunity to work in the Hawaiian breeze.

Our hotel staff and dancers always strive to ensure that everyone enjoys their experience, but due to the influence of returning guests and reviews, we have noticed that many guests line up very early before the reception starts. Therefore, this year we have changed the lineup location from the beachside to the cooler hotel interior.

Receiving comments like yours and such thoughtful explanations inspires us to think of better improvements and motivates us to ensure everyone has a great time.

If you have the opportunity to visit the Big Island again, please stop by. We will always be waiting to deliver warm breezes and aloha.

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー 滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く!<午前・午後/英語ガイド/食事付>by フェアウィンド号

It was interesting. 面白かったです

Reviewed by: 60歳夫婦

It’s about a one-hour boat trip to Kealakekua Bay. For breakfast, we had bagels, papaya, melon, and coffee. Once we arrived at Kealakekua Bay, we started our first snorkeling session. For lunch, we enjoyed burgers, hot dogs, fruits, and drinks like cola and coffee, followed by our second snorkeling session. The joy of chasing fish in the clear, calm bay is exceptional. There were about 40 participants, but only three groups of Japanese, including us, totaling seven people, while most were Westerners. We borrowed floatation devices to swim, and even if you’re confident in your swimming, having a floatation device makes it easier. I thought I had applied enough sunscreen, but my shoulders got sunburned. Sunscreen is definitely necessary. It was a tour I would like to join again.

ケアラケクア湾まで約1時間の船旅です。朝食はベーグルとパパイア、メロンとコーヒー。
ケアラケクア湾へ着くと1回目のシュノーケル開始、昼食はバーガー、ホットドッグ、果物にコーラやコーヒーなどを食べ、2回目のシュノーケルを行いました。澄み切った穏やかな湾で魚たちを追う楽しさは格別です。40名程の参加者がいましたが、日本人は私たちを含め3組、7名だけで大半が欧米人でした。腰に巻く浮具を借り泳ぎましたが、泳ぎに自信があっても浮具はあった方が楽です。日焼け止めを十分に塗ったつもりでしたが、肩口は赤くなりました。日焼け止めは絶対に必要です。
また参加したいと思えるツアーでした。

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>

Incredible power! In the front row! 大迫力!一番前の席にて!

Reviewed by: のりち

I was able to sit in the front row when I arrived on time.
The show featured wonderful hula dancing, powerful male fire performances, and a packed schedule that made the time fly by.
The food was served buffet-style, which allowed me to adjust the amount I ate, and I thought that was great. The taste was fairly good.

集合時間通りに行ったら、一番前の席に座ることができました。
ショーの内容は素敵なフラダンス、
迫力満点の男性の火を使ったダンスと盛りだくさんの内容であっという間の時間でした。
お料理はブュッフェで、自分が食べる量を調節できたのでよかったと思います。味はそれなりに美味しかったです。

  • ファイヤーダンス!
