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

Doors off Helicopter ride

Reviewed by: Peter in Sydney

Well worth doing the helicopter ride and the Doors Off Experience is the way to do it. The ride itself is worth it but to then fly over the lava flowing into the ocean and seeing collapsed lava tubes is something else.

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 was able to see everything from Polynesian dance to hula. ポリネシアンからフラダンスまで見れました

Reviewed by: イチロー

The luau show was great because I could see various traditional dances☆

Although the seating arrangement doesn't guarantee that you'll get to sit in the front even if you line up early, it seems there's an option to arrange for seats closer to the front for an additional $20.

Since the dances are only performed on stage, sitting closer definitely makes it easier to see. It would be amazing if they could come down from the stage and perform up close at least once...

The event's schedule consists of half luau and dance shows, and the other half is a talk show with the host and performers. I think those who can speak English will enjoy it fully, but since I couldn't understand most of what was being said, I felt like I only enjoyed about half of what I paid for.

The dance portion isn't very long, so I wouldn't particularly recommend it for those who want to see hula or dance shows in depth, but experiencing it in person is a good experience, so it might be nice for first-timers. By the way, the show is dark, so it's difficult to capture footage unless you're using video.

ルアウショーはいろいろな伝統ダンスが見られるのが良かったです☆

席は早く並んでも必ず前に行くという仕組みではありませんでしたが、事前にプラス20ドルで前のほうの席にしてもらうアレンジがあるようです。

ダンスは舞台でしか行われないので、近い席のほうが確かに見やすいのです。できれば、１度くらい舞台から降りて近くで披露してくれると最高なのですが・・・。

開催時間の内容は半分がルアウなどのダンスショー、もう半分が司会やパフォーマーのトークショーです。
英語が出来る人は、十分楽しめると思いますが、ほとんど何を言ってるかわからなかったため、払った金額の半分くらいしか楽しめなかったなと思います。

ダンスの時間はそんなに長くないので、フラやダンスショーをしっかり見たい方にはあまりお勧めはしませんが、現地で見たということ自体はいい経験になるので、初めての方にはいいかもしれません。
ちなみにショーの時間は暗いので、動画じゃないと映像は撮りにくいですよ。

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

Family-friendly ファミリー向け

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We experienced an afternoon tour as a family of four. While the equipment can sometimes be smelly or old, this tour was just fine. Even my 5-year-old daughter enjoyed it on a kickboard with a window. It was cloudy at first, but when the sunlight came through, it was very beautiful and moving. Before we left, the staff and captain performed a dive show from the boat, but right after that, my daughter asked, "Where's my captain? Where did the bartender go? How do we get back?" Other than her worries, the safety was excellent.

家族4人で午後からのツアーを体験しました。装備は臭かったり古かったり問題ある場合もあるのですが、このツアーは大丈夫です。5歳の娘でも窓付きのキックボードで楽しめました。最初は曇天でしたが太陽光が入るととても綺麗で感動します。
帰る前にスタッフやキャプテンが船上からダイブパフォーマンスを見せてくれるのですが、直後に娘が「私のキャプテンはどこ？、バーテンダーはどこへ行ったの？　どうやって帰るの？」と、彼女の不安以外は安全性抜群です。

Big Island Snorkel Cruise to the Kohala Coast & Waikoloa with Lunch and Open Bar - Ocean Sports

Black Sand Snorkel Sail

Reviewed by: Helt Family

When we go to tropical destinations we make a point of booking a snorkel sail sometime during our vacation.
We have gone on a number of them in the Caribbean and Hawaii and have really enjoyed them all.
Our all time favorite was the Holo Holo charter on Kauai that took us over to Napali.
My wife and I, as well as our 3 boys, really like getting out on the ocean in a smooth running catamarran.
The Black Sand Snorkel sail was a blast. We really enjoyed the Sea Smoke and the awesome crew. Kane was very friendly and knowledgeable, and Captain Pat was great as well.
One of the main reasons I booked this particular snorkel sail was that it was close to our condo villiage in the Waikoloa Beach Resort. I think it may have been the only one available in that area since most of the others were out of the Kona area.
The only things I would not comment positively on were the fact that the breakfast offering was not good. All they served were some sliced oranges. Other sails I have been on ha

You will receive a voucher at the hotel's dedicated reception. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. However, it seems that even if you arrive early, you will be guided from the back, so you can't choose your seat. You will have a meal while watching the show. The food itself was just okay. When we went, there was a heavy rain that caused a temporary interruption, but it was a nice memory.

We departed from the bay near the Sheraton. We went to the meeting place by rental car. The weather was very nice, and the sea was beautiful. Our family was the only Japanese group, but there were many participants, and it was full. There were many families participating. They quickly provided goggles with prescription lenses for those who are nearsighted. We were warned at the beginning not to wear fins until just before entering the water to avoid damaging the coral. Even if you can't swim well, they lend you life jackets and floaties, so you can enjoy without worry. On the way back, a video created by the crew of that day's activities is shown. This video was very well made. The crew only spoke English, but they were very friendly.

Catamaran Black Sand Snorkel

Reviewed by: Paul

Excellent. To start, we went out on the Sea Smoke, little did we know, this was owned by James Arness (Gun Smoke TV show) and he raced this from LA to Hawaii and beat the pack by 2-days… So we were sailing on a piece of history.
Crew was awesome and extremely hospitable. Equipment was very good; food and beverages were high quality and fresh.
We arrived at the dive spot and it was amazing, sea turtles to say the least. The black sand beach was amazing and really different than the typical white sugar sand that most beaches are made of.
I would recommend this to all skill levels and all ages.
On the way back they sent up the sails and turned the engine off, we enjoyed the speed and stability that 60’ catamarans are famous for.
If you have a chance, don't miss this opportunity to view the Big Island and its beautiful coastline from the ocean… Well worth the 4-hour snorkel adventure and very convenient to find as this is anchored at the Waikoloa Marriot.

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＞

Everyone should go and have fun together! みんなでワイワイ行くべし！

Reviewed by: ウォンダン

I went last week!

It was a tour that I was completely satisfied with. On the day we participated, my group was the only one made up of Japanese people. Most of the other guests were from the mainland United States. There were mostly couples, families, and groups participating.

We received safety instructions for snorkeling, but we were given a paper written in Japanese, so I think even those who are worried about the language can participate with peace of mind. Also, the staff and the surrounding guests all had a friendly atmosphere, so even if you don't speak English well, you can communicate with simple words and have a good time.

I think it's okay for those who are not confident in swimming to participate. On this tour, there were people enjoying themselves while floating on inflatable rings.

I recommend this tour for the morning since the waves are calmer then. Even in the morning tour, the waves do get a bit higher in the latter half.

It was a very enjoyable tour, but I got seasick on the way back. It takes nearly 30 minutes from the snorkeling point to the port, so you might feel nauseous. I recommend bringing motion sickness medication. Even if you don't have any, if you tell the staff, they will make ginger ale to help alleviate the nausea.

For snorkeling, I was lent a prescription snorkeling set. It's recommended for those who wear glasses.

Everyone was able to return to their childhood, jumping into the sea and enjoying snorkeling, having a great time. Other guests were also frolicking like children. I definitely recommend participating as a group and having fun together.

The water was clear down to the bottom, which was impressive. There were many sea urchins at the bottom, and I was able to see cute fish as well. The seawater was warm, which was also nice.

先週行ってきました！

すべてに大満足のツアーでした。
私たちが参加した日は私のグループのみが日本人でした。
他はアメリカ本土からのお客さんが多かったです。
カップルや家族連れ、グループでの参加がほとんどでした。

スノーケリングの注意などを受けますが、日本語で書かれた紙を渡されるので、言葉に心配な人でも安心して参加できると思います。
また、スタッフやまわりのお客さんもみんなフレンドリーな雰囲気だったので、英語が良くできなくても、簡単な言葉でコミュニケーションをとったり、楽しく過ごすことができました。

泳ぎに自信がない人も参加して大丈夫だと思います。
今回のツアーでも、浮き輪で揺られて楽しんでいる人もいました。

また、午前中のほうが波が静かなので、こちらのツアーをお勧めします。午前中のツアーでも後半では波が少し高くなってきます。

とても楽しいツアーでしたが、帰りの船で船酔いしてしまいました。スノーケリングのポイントから港まで３０分近くかかるので、気持ち悪くなるかもしれません。
酔い止めを持っていくことをお勧めします。
もし、酔い止めをもっていなくとも、スタッフに伝えれば、酔い止めを緩和するジンジャーエールを作ってくれます。

スノーケリングでは、度付きのスノーケリングセットを貸してもらいました。めがねの人はお勧めです。

みんなが童心に帰って、海に飛び込んだり、スノーケリングを楽しんだり、楽しい時間をすごすことができました。
他のお客さんも子供のようにはしゃいでいました。
絶対、グループで参加してみんなでワイワイ過ごすことをオススメします。

海の中は底まで透き通っていて、感動的でした。
海の底にはウニがたくさんいて、かわいい魚たちも見ることができました。海水も暖かかったのもよかったです。

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＞

I highly recommend it! お奨めです！

Reviewed by: Taka

I participated on May 20th.
First, the reception desk was set up in front of the Body Glove boat. Staff members arrived a little before the meeting time. It seemed there were no staff who spoke Japanese, but everyone was very gentlemanly and friendly, and they kindly listened even to my broken English, which was helpful.
We encountered a pod of dolphins right after departure. I think there were about 20 of them. It was my first time seeing wild dolphins, and I was moved. By the way, we encountered them again at the same spot on the way back, so they might always be there during this time of year.
After that, it took about 40 minutes to reach the snorkeling point. There was guidance in English along the way, but I couldn't catch it because it was too fast. However, they showed us a Japanese explanation sheet, so it was not a problem at all.
You can enjoy snorkeling for over two hours at a depth of about 5 to 10 meters where there are coral reefs. The water was a bit cold and somewhat chilly, but the visibility was high and there were many fish, so I had a great time. There seemed to be life jackets available, but I was strongly recommended to use a noodle, which is a long foam float, and when I tried it, it was indeed easy to use. Of course, they also lend you a snorkel and fins.
As for meals, as soon as you get on the boat, you can freely take breakfast (bread, muffins, fruit, drinks), and when you arrive at the snorkeling point, lunch (bread, ham, vegetables, potato chips, drinks, etc., all of various kinds) is provided, which you can also eat freely. The taste was just average, but I thought it was good that there were various options.
We were the only Japanese participants, but I think it’s a tour that is easy to join because the staff is very polite. One point to note is that the boat sways quite a bit, so I think it would be safer for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication before participating.

　５月２０日に参加してきました。
　まず、受付はボディグローブの船の前にデスクが置いてあり、そちらになります。集合時間の少し前からスタッフの方がいらっしゃいました。日本語の通じるスタッフはいないようでしたが、皆さん非常に紳士的かつフレンドリーで片言の英語でも丁寧に聞いてくれるので、助かりました。
　出発してすぐにイルカの群れに遭遇しました。２０頭ぐらいはいたと思います。野生のイルカは初めて見たので感動でした。ちなみに、帰りも同じポイントで遭遇しましたので、この時期は日中いつもそこにいるのかも知れません。
　その後、４０分ほどかけてシュノーケリングポイントに到達します。途中、英語でガイダンスがありますが、早口で全く聞き取れませんでした。でも、日本語の説明書を見せてくれるので全く問題なかったです。
　珊瑚礁のある深さ５~１０ｍ程度のところで２時間以上シュノーケリングを満喫できます。水がやや冷たく若干肌寒かったですが、透明度は高く魚も多いので楽しめました。ライフジャケットもあるようでしたが、ヌードルという細長い発泡スチロールのような浮きを強く奨められ、使ってみたところ確かに使いやすかったです。もちろん、シュノーケルとフィンも貸してくれます。
　食事は、船に乗るとすぐに朝食（パン、マフィン、果物、飲み物）をフリーで取ることができ、シュノーケリングポイントにつくとランチ（パン、ハム、野菜、ポテトチップス、飲み物などいずれも複数種類）が用意され、これもフリーで食べられます。味はまあ普通ですが、種類がいろいろあるのがよいと思いました。
　日本人は我々だけでしたが、スタッフがとても丁寧なので参加しやすいツアーだと思います。一点だけ、船は結構揺れるので、弱い方は酔い止めを飲んで参加した方が安心だと思います。

John and I wanted to send this email thanking everyone at Paradise for a once in a lifetime experience on our vacation. We took one of your newer trips which flew out of Kona, over the valleys, drop off in Hilo for the day (with paid rental car), then over the Volcanoes, and back to Kona. We really enjoyed the entire day. In fact we hadn't originally thought we would get to visit the Hilo area since the drive from Kona is a couple of hours. So not only did we get to see beautiful valleys, waterfalls, and running lava from air but we got to explore the Rain forest national Zoo, The Volcano national Park, Rainbow Falls, and Akaka Falls all by land as well. Also our pilot Steve was so informative and friendly he really helped make our day just that much more special. I'm sure he flies the same routes every day, yet you couldn't tell. His passion for the land, and surroundings was contagious. Thanks again, we included some of our amazing trip photos.

Dolphin イルカ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was able to see dolphins. I was a bit worried because it seemed that some people couldn't see them, but during my visit, perhaps due to the timing, I was able to see dolphins swimming from the hotel balcony in the morning, so I wasn't too concerned. By the way, it was around mid-May, during the new moon phase (which may not be related).

As soon as we set sail, we saw dolphins up close, and I was really excited. I regretted not taking pictures because I thought we would be snorkeling there. We ended up snorkeling at another location, which had beautiful coral reefs. They provided masks and fins, and just floating in the sea was very soothing and enjoyable. There were always meals and drinks available, and the shower and restroom were clean, so I thought it was a nice experience. It felt more like a relaxing playtime.

I also did diving as an option. I didn't understand the language, but they properly informed us about the dive sites and guided us, so I had a lot of fun. However, once you start diving, the free time (if you can call it that) becomes limited. I thought it would be amazing if we could dive in the area where the dolphins are.

イルカ見れました。書き込みには、見れなかった人もいたようなので、ちょっと心配でしたが、私の時は、時期がよっかったのか、ホテルのベランダからも朝はイルカが泳いでいるのがみれていたので、心配がなたったです。ちなみに５月半ばの、（関係ないかもだけど、）新月位の時でした。
　出航してすぐイルカがみれ、まじかでしたので、ちょう興奮しました。そこでスノーケルかと思い写真をとらなかったのが、残念でした。スノーケルは、他の場所で、そこは珊瑚のきれいな海です。マスクとフィンを貸してくれて、海に浮いているだけでもとても癒されよかったです。食事も飲み物もつねにあるし、シャワーもついてるし、トイレもキレイなので、いい感じだと思います。どちらかというと、のんびり遊ぶ（癒しな）感じだと思います。
　オプションでダイビングもしました。言葉は解りませんが、ちゃんとポイント名も教えてくれて、ガイドもしてくれたので、結構楽しめました。　ただ、ダイビングをしてしまうと、自由時間（？）が少なくなってしまいます。せっかくなら、イルカがいるところで、ダイビングできたら最高なのにな、と思いました。

Unfortunately, the dolphins weren't at the snorkeling point, so we couldn't swim with them, but the rental snorkeling gear was very clean, and the boat had a slide that the kids could enjoy (the adults were sliding down too). They provided anti-fog spray for the snorkeling masks and tubes as substitutes for floatation devices, which made for a very comfortable experience. The snorkeling point was in shallow waters with not much wave action, and there were plenty of fish, so even kids could have fun.

There was someone celebrating a birthday that day, and we all sang a birthday song at the end. It was a fun tour.

The passion for thier culture, and familys was beautifully done. By the time you left, you felt like you were part of their Ohana. The only thing I may suggest is to have more fresh fruits for those on a limited diet and more flower leis for sale, as they ran out the first 25 customers. I would give it a 4 1/2 stars.

To start off with when we were making reservations transportation aparently wasn't available. Don't let them tell you that. They have vans and make pick-ups from the hotel we stayed in. We took the big island spectacular 2 hour. It was nice. The volcano part wasn't what i thought. I expected to see flowing lava. All you see is the top crust of past lava flows. Even the volcano vent wasn't what I thought it would be. The VOG was so thick thast about all you could see. A little let down. Although the 2nd part was the tropical rain forest. We had a nice ride along the ocean front. Went up the valleys and saw more waterfalls than I could keep track of. Pilot even sighted some whales and circled for us. Wind turbulance in some of the valleys made me tighten my seat belt a bit. Later I learned the pilot is a retired coast guard pilot. Wish I knew that going in, I would have been a bit more relaxed.

Even someone like me, who isn't very good at English conversation, was able to enjoy it fully. I recommend arriving a little early and lining up in front of the entrance, as you can get a good spot closer to the front. The food is also plentiful. Towards the end, the sea breeze can feel quite cold, so it's a good idea to bring a jacket. I think couples should not be shy and dance together. On the first night after arriving in Hawaii, you might feel sleepy at first, but your energy will quickly rise, so I recommend seeing it in the first half.

あまり英会話が出来ない私でも、充分楽しむことが出来ました。少し早めに行き、入口前で並ぶと、結構、前の方で見れるのでお薦めいたします。料理も充実しています。最後の方は、海風が冷たく感じてくるので、上着を持参するといいですよ。ぜひカップルの方は恥ずかしがらずに、一緒踊るといいと思いますよ。ハワイ島着いた初日の夜は眠いかと思いまずか、一気にテンション上がるから、前半に見る事をお薦め致します。

I flew from Honolulu to Hilo early for trip which was scheduled for 8:30 AM. We were delayed starting by about one hour for other guests who took a later flight. My main reason for this tour was to see the volcano. Because of air quality, the observation area was closed. Because of cloud cover, we could not see the top of the volcano. We were able to visit the National Park Visitors Center which was worthwhile.

The tour guide was just fair. We visited several commercial sites.
He tried to make up for the closing of the observation area by stopping at other volcanoes in the park & a lava tube.

Since we didn't have a rental car, we participated in this tour with transportation included. It took about 45 minutes to get from our hotel to the meeting point, and we were dropped off just before the port, so we needed to walk to the Body Glove boat. The crew was at the reception, and you can check in by saying your name. As mentioned in other posts, the crew does not understand Japanese at all. I also speak very little English, but they provide a Japanese sheet with important information and emergency signals, so it's okay if you don't understand the English explanations. Since I have poor eyesight, they lent me prescription snorkeling goggles. I didn't understand everything in English, but since I participated in January, it was whale watching season, not dolphin watching. It was a great deal because you could snorkel and see whales. Although the sea was calm, it was still open ocean, so those prone to seasickness should take precautions. They do provide emergency assistance, but I think you need to be capable of managing your own snorkeling. Regarding transportation, the pickup was over an hour after the cruise ended, so I think it's fine to explore the nearby shops. I believe this is an activity that offers a unique experience that can only be enjoyed on the Big Island.

当方レンタカーがなかった為送迎つきのこちらに参加いたしました。
滞在ホテルより集合場所までは４５分くらい、港の手前で下ろされるため、ボディーグローブ号まで歩いていく必要はあります。クルーが受付をしているので名前を言えばチェックインできます。投稿にあるとおりクルーに日本語はまったく通じません。当方も英語はほとんどしゃべれませんが、注意事項、危険時の合図などは日本語のシートを出してくれるので英語の説明がわからなくても大丈夫です。目が悪いのでめがねをかけていたら度つきの水中グラスも貸してくれました。また英語のためわからなかったのですが当方の参加した一月は鯨が来るシーズンのためイルカではなくホエールウオッチングでした。シュノーケリングもでき鯨も見れることでお得ではありました。穏やかとはいえ外洋なので波はあるので船酔いするかたは対策が必要です。また緊急時の対応はしてくれますが自己管理でシュノーケリングできる能力は必要とみます。送迎のほうですが迎えはクルージング終了後一時間以上もあったので周辺のお店を散策してもいいと思います。ビッグアイランドでしか味わえない体験ができるアクテビティだと思います。

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　ボイジャーズ・オブ・ザ・パシフィック（ロイヤルコナリゾート内）＜月・火・水・金催行／ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題／シェルレイ付＞

Hawaii Island Traditional Luau & Hula Hawaiian Show ハワイ島　伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　

Reviewed by: あくび

We participated as a family this time. It was fun to feel like we were at an outdoor party. The show started with a traditional Hawaiian ceremony, and then the performance began on stage. Although we didn't have the best seats because a special group was celebrating a birthday, it was really nice to watch a traditional show in a tropical party atmosphere. Unfortunately, we had to wait in line to get drinks, which took some time, and the buffet-style meal had a set order for each table, making it difficult to eat, and there were few options, which was a bit disappointing for dinner. Next to us was a foreign family, but it seemed like they were seating Japanese guests close together. I think this dinner show is recommended for friends and families to enjoy the atmosphere and traditional performance while having fun together.

今回家族で参加しました。
野外パーティーに参加している雰囲気で楽しかったです。
ショーはハワイの伝統的な儀式から始まり、ステージでショーが始まりました。
誕生日を祝う特別なグループが参加していたため、ベストの席ではなかったけれど、
南国のパーティー気分の中で伝統的なショーを見るのはとてもよかったです。
残念ながら、飲み物をもらうのに並ばなくてはいけなくて、時間がかかったり、
ビュッフェスタイルの食事も、テーブルごとに順番があってなかなか食べられず、種類も少なく
ディナーとしては少々期待ハズレでした。
私たちの隣は、外国人ファミリーでしたが、日本人同士を近い席にしてくれている様子でした。
このディナーショーは友人同士や家族でワイワイ楽しみながら雰囲気と伝統的なショーを楽しむのがお勧めだと思います。
