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

Gotta Do the Doors Off!!!

Reviewed by: Robin & Julie O'Neill

Doors Off is the ONLY way to go!!! Mahalo so much for the awesome tour experience over the Kilauea Lava Flow. Dylan was a great pilot and was very knowledgeable about the Hawaiian terrain we were flying over. He definitely provided a great commentary and guide to the beautiful sights below us. We have taken helicopter tours before over such things as Niagara Falls, but we will not want to be flying with doors on ever again. We highly recommend the doors off experience, it is second to none

Flying high!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

An amazing activity definately recommended to be done on Big Island. You get a narrated tour and see the flowing lava fields and the lava hitting the sea. A once in a life time experience. You see sights that you wouldn't see from ground level. Worth every penny. Very friendly staff.

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

Morning Cruise モーニングクルーズ

Reviewed by: tomotomo

We participated with a total of eight people, including my sister's family. We were attracted by the free children's offer for the afternoon cruise, but based on reviews here, we chose the morning cruise instead. Six of us, except for my husband and me, were experiencing snorkeling for the first time, and everyone, including my sister who can't swim, was very moved! The slide had quite a distance to the water surface, which was a bit scary even for adults, but the 8-year-old and 6-year-old kids went down it multiple times. The older child especially loved the high dive from the second floor and did it over and over again. And as rumored, the hamburgers were very delicious! On the way back, we encountered dolphins twice. It was truly fun. Everyone in the family is eager to participate again next time!

姉家族と計8人で参加しました。
アフタヌーンクルーズの、子供無料特典に惹かれましたが、ここの書き込みでモーニングクルーズにしました。私達夫婦以外、6名がスノーケリング初体験でしたが、泳げない姉を含め、みなとても感動していました!スライダーは水面まで結構距離があり、大人でもちょっと怖かったのですが、8歳と6歳の子供達は何度も滑っていました。特に上の子は2階からのハイダイブを気に入り、何度も何度もしていました。そして、うわさどおりハンバーガーはとても美味しかったです!帰路では2回イルカに遭遇。本当に楽しかったです。家族全員、次回もまた参加したい!と切望しています。

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>

Helicopter tour! ヘリツアー!!

Reviewed by: hiro

We participated in a lava and canyon tour with a family of six, including an 83-year-old. Fortunately, the pilot was Japanese, so the explanations were easy to understand, which was great. Honestly, while it was nice to see the lava flowing to the coast, I had imagined something a bit more intense. What exceeded my expectations was the number of waterfalls in the canyon and the breathtaking experience of flying deep into the carved canyon, which is something only a helicopter can offer—absolutely amazing!

Hawaii Island has many areas that are difficult to access from the ground, so I recommend it for those with weaker legs. Although it costs a bit, the view from the sky during the nearly two-hour flight was worth it. I bought a video tape that included scenes from inside the aircraft, which became a fun memory.

83歳を含むファミリー6名で溶岩と渓谷のツアーに参加、
運よく操縦士の方が日本人だったので説明もよくわかりとてもよかった。
正直溶岩は海岸に流れているところが見えよかったが、もう少し激しいものを想像していたので?とおもうこともあった。想像以上だったのは渓谷での滝の多さと深く切り込んだ渓谷の間に入っていくのはヘリコプターならではの圧巻で最高!だった。
ハワイ島は地上からの無理なところも多いので、足が弱い方にもおすすめ、多少値段はかかるが空からの眺めは、あっという間の2時間弱、機内での様子を含んだ景色のビデオテープを買い楽しい思い出になりました。

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

Get there early!

Reviewed by: lori

It was a wonderful evening. We got there early, about 3pm, (highly recommended), paid an extra 15 dollars for front seating, and had a wonderful time. We were front row center of stage. With the early seating, we were first in line to get in, we were first in line for food and drinks, not to mention the view of the performance. The line was very long for those not paying the extra money. Food was so-so, but the dancers were stunning. My grand-daughter, 8, was absolutely enthralled with the show. Would recommend to first timers, but not sure if I would spend the money to see it twice.

I attended the luau show at Kinkame. The MC's lively talk was also enjoyable.

During the show, the MC called out for people celebrating milestones like "newlyweds!", "those celebrating 50 years of marriage!", and "birthdays!" The audience applauded and sang to those who stood up. Since we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and my birthday, it became a wonderful memory with many people congratulating us.

Even if you're not confident in your English, you'll be able to understand the atmosphere around you, so it's okay.

ハワイ島 コハラコースト サンセットセーリング <軽食&飲み放題付き>

It was different from what I was thinking, but it was a misunderstanding. 考えていたのと違ったーだけど勘違い

Reviewed by: 大島

I thought the "dinner cruise" would be on a larger ship, but it was a yacht. It rocked quite a bit. The weather was nice, so the sunset and the view of the volcano were absolutely stunning. The buffet food was completely different from what was listed on the website. It wasn't bad, but when I tried to eat a salad with lettuce on the ship, it all blew away in the wind. However, considering the cost, I suppose this is what you get, and I wasn't dissatisfied. The staff was cheerful and friendly. I got lost on the way back to the shuttle bus from the coast. While I was lost, I ended up at the Marriott Hotel, so I went shopping at Kings Market. When I called the travel desk about getting lost, they said, "You don't have to worry too much about the shuttle bus." This seems to reflect the laid-back nature of Hawaii. I watched the sunset five times on the Big Island, and each time felt different. It would have been better to have dinner at a restaurant with a terrace while watching the sunset.

「ディナークルーズ」というのでもっと大きな船かと思っていたら、ヨットだった。
結構揺れた。
天気はよかったので、サンセット、火山の景色は最高によかった。
バイキングの料理は、ウェブに記載されたものとは全く違った。まずくはなかったが、船上でレタスの入ったサラダを食べようとすると、すべて風に舞った。
でもコストを考えるとこんなもんだろうし、不満ではない。
スタッフは、明るく、親切だった。
帰りの海岸から送迎バスまでを迷ってしまった。
迷っていたらマリオットホテルに着いたので、そのままキングズマーケットでショッピングした。迷ったことを旅デスクに電話したら、「送迎バスは、そんなに心配はしませんよ」とのこと。これがハワイらしいおおらかさのようだ。
ハワイ島でサンセットは5回見たが、すべて違う感じであった。
別オプションのレストランテラス席で食事しながらサンセットを見るほうがよかった。

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 ocean is the best! 海サイコー

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We barely left the hotel on time, but we quickly found free parking near Kailua Pier, and it was easy to park. I came wearing my swimsuit from the hotel, and there was a simple changing room next to the restroom at Kailua Pier. Some participants even changed in the restroom of the Body Glove boat.

After docking, there was a briefing on safety precautions. We confirmed the areas where we could play and the signals for OK/Help/Go Back while on the water, and then we finally headed to the sea. At first, the seawater felt cold, but gradually the water temperature rose, and the underwater scenery while snorkeling was very beautiful. The slide and jumping platform were also fun.

It’s not allowed to use the slide while wearing snorkeling gear, so I played with the goggles I brought. The oldest child, who is in elementary school, played vigorously, but the two younger kids (5 and 3 years old) initially jumped into the sea with enthusiasm. However, they soon said their legs and arms hurt, possibly because the seawater was cold or too salty, and they quickly got back on the boat to play in various ways. Although we didn’t see any dolphins, we were excited to see a turtle.

The light snack right after departure (pastries and fruit) was okay, but the sandwiches for lunch were very delicious. I will definitely do this again next time! It was a fantastic tour.

ホテルを出たのがギリギリになってしまったのですが、カイルア桟橋付近の無料駐車場がすぐに見つかり、簡単に停められました。
ホテルから水着を着てきましたが、カイルア桟橋にあるトイレの横に、簡易の更衣室がありました。
参加者の中には、ボディーグローブ号のトイレの中で着替えをしている人もいました。
停泊した後、注意事項の説明がありました。遊んでよい範囲や海上でのOK/Help/GoBackの合図を確認し、いよいよ海へ。
最初こそ、海水が冷たく感じましたが、だんだん水温も上昇してきて、シュノーケルで見る海の中もとても綺麗ですし、滑り台やジャンプ台も楽しかったです。
シュノーケルの道具をしたまま、滑り台をやるのはダメなので、持参したゴーグルをつけて遊びました。
一番上の小学生の子供は、ガンガン遊びましたが、下の2人の子供たち(5才と3才)は、最初こそ勢いよく海に飛び込んだのですが、海水が冷たいのか、濃度が高いのか、足や腕がイタイと言って、すぐに上がってしまい、船の上で様々に遊んでいました。イルカは見れませんでしたが、亀が見れたのには、はしゃいでいました。
朝の出発直後の軽食(菓子パンとフルーツ)はまあまあ。ですが、お昼のサンドイッチは、とてもおいしかったです。
次回行ったときも、必ず絶対やります!とってもよいツアーでした。

I am very satisfied with the beautiful sea. きれいな海に大満足

Reviewed by: ナオピー

This was my second time participating, and my family was just as satisfied as ever with the beautiful sea and stunning fish. The snorkeling itself was great, but I was also pleased with the delicious bread and hamburgers we could enjoy for both breakfast and lunch. I should have come with a bigger appetite in the morning. The snorkeling was completely fine for beginners, and they provided prescription goggles for those with poor eyesight, so even someone like me with strong nearsightedness could easily enjoy observing underwater.

今回2回目の参加でしたが相変わらず美しい海と美しい魚に家族も大満足でした。シュノーケル自体もよかったですが朝食、昼食ともにおいしいパンやハンバーグをたらふく食べられてこの点も満足でした。朝からもっと空腹で参加すべきでした。シュノーケルは初心者でも全く問題なく、また近視などに対してもレンズ付きの水中めがねが用意されており私のような強い近視でも問題なく水中観察ができました。

After swimming with the fish... お魚と泳いだ後は・・・

Reviewed by: Hawaii大好き

This was my first time on the Big Island. I was unsure which tour to choose, but I knew I couldn't miss out on the ocean! So, I signed up for the Fair Wind Kealakekua Bay Snorkeling Cruise.

Since I had rented a car, I went to check out the parking lot the day before. There's a parking lot less than 100 meters away (although there were quite a few people parking on the street). I felt reassured and ready to participate on the day of the tour.

After checking in, it was time to board! Breakfast was provided, including bagels and fruit. There was also water and juice available, so you can fill up before enjoying the experience. They have fins and floatation devices, so even those who aren't confident swimmers can enjoy themselves. There are staff members who speak Japanese, so there's no need to worry about communication.

Under the sea, I encountered many fish, including yellow ones (I believe they were called Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa) and eels. As I started to feel tired, a wonderful smell wafted from the boat. You can return to the boat at any time, and you can also go for a swim, so I think it's best to enjoy at your own pace.

Definitely make the most of it!

ハワイ島は初めて。
どのツアーに申し込もうかと悩みましたが、やはり海ははずせない!!のでハワイ島ケアラケクア湾 シュノーケリングクルーズ by フェアウィンド号に申し込みました。

チェックインを済ませ、いざ乗船!!
ベーグルやフルーツ等の朝食が用意されています。水やジュースもありますのでしっかり腹ごしらえをしてから楽しめます。フィンや浮き輪などがあるので、泳ぎの苦手な方でも安心して楽しめます。日本語の話せるスタッフの方がいるのでこちらも心配しなくても大丈夫です。
海の中には、黄色い魚(確か、フヌフヌヌクヌクアプアア)やうつぼなど等、沢山の魚に出会えます。
疲れてきた頃、良い匂いにが船からしてくるのです。
いつでも船に戻れますし、泳ぎにも行けますのでご自分のペースで楽しまれると良いと思います。


是非、満喫してください。

sunset cruise that wasn't

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

On July 2nd, The historical sunset cruise we took was fabulous right until the end but we were very disappointed that the captain elected to dock five minutes too soon. A fantastic sunset was in the making and if we had slowed down five minutes we would have been treated to a terrific sky. Everyone with a camera was out on deck with cameras ready, and we just pulled right in to dock watching the sun slip behind the island instead of over the water where it would have been had we stayed out five more minutes. I know for certain many others were unhappy with this handling of time. Why we had to dock so quickly is a mystery to me.

I decided to participate in this luau show because it is conveniently held in the center of Kailua-Kona. Check-in is at 5:00 PM, and there is also an ABC Store in the center of Kona, which is not uncommon in Oahu, so I included some shopping as well. I arrived early and watched what seemed to be a local student canoe team's practice before heading to the venue.

I have participated in luau shows several times in Waikiki, but what I think is great about this luau show is that it takes place in nature. It features Tahitian dance, Hawaiian hula, Fiji dance, Samoan dance, and fire dance—there's a little bit of everything. I believe it offers good cost performance as well.

このルアウショーはカイルアコナの中心地で開催されており便利だな~と思い参加しました。17:00にチェックインですが、ここコナの中心地にはオアフでは珍しくないABCストアもあり、買出し含め参加しました。早めに到着し、地元の学生?のカヌーチームの練習などを見た後、会場へ。
 ルアウショーはワイキキで何度か参加しているのですが、このルアウショーのいいところは、自然の中で繰り広げらるところじゃないかと思います。タヒチアンダンス、ハワイアンフラ、フィジーダンスとサモアンなダンスそしてファイアーダンスなんでもござれです。コストパファーマンスも良いショーだと思います。

We took the open door with landing at Jack's lava house. It was a very neat experience getting to walk on the lava rock. Be prepared for being wind-blown on the open doors, and take a jacket as it can be chilly in the air. Overall a very nice experience, but don't expect big "red lava flows" as that is not realistic. You can't exactly "feel the heat" and the waterfalls are not close up views they are more from a distance and thrown in at the end, But still pretty spectacular scenery!

About 15 minutes after departing on the cruise, we encountered a pod of dolphins! At the snorkeling spot, we were able to see many tropical fish and even a sea turtle.

There were no staff members who spoke Japanese, so everything was in English, but we managed just fine. There were only two groups of Japanese people, including us. The food was quite delicious as well.

For those who are not good swimmers, there are floats and life jackets available, so it's safe. There are also prescription snorkeling masks for those with poor eyesight, which made it comfortable.

On the return cruise, you might feel cold since your swimsuit will be wet. I recommend bringing a large towel or something to wear over it.

The dolphins in Hawaii are friendly! ハワイ島のイルカはひとなつこい!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The cloudy sky made the sea feel a bit deeper and cold, and when I got out of the water, I started to shiver from the slight breeze, losing the motivation to go back in. Since I was a bit sleep-deprived the day before, after a swim, I ended up just watching a pod of dolphins from the boat. However, the young girl swam a little further and was able to experience the thrilling moment of swimming among the dolphins as they approached. It felt as if they were swimming with her. You can encounter dolphins in everyday life without having to book a special dolphin-watching tour, as long as you don't chase them.

The staff were all friendly and nice people, but it was a bit tough when I couldn't understand English. There were only a few Japanese people. If you're with someone who is fluent in English, I highly recommend it.

曇り空で海が少し深くなると冷たくて、水から上がると少しの風で体は震えてもう水に入る気力がなえてしまいました。前日少し睡眠不足だったため、一泳ぎしたら船上からいるかの群れの背びれを眺めるだけになりましたが、若い娘は頑張って少し先まで泳ぎ、群れが寄ってきてくれる中、感動の遊泳をすることができました。まるで一緒に泳いでくれたという感じでした。イルカは追わなければ、わざわざイルカ観賞ツアーに申し込まなくても普段でも遭遇できるんですね。
スタッフはみな親切で、いい感じの人たちばかりでしたが、英語が聞き取れないとちょっと辛いものがありました。日本人は少しでした。英語の堪能な人と一緒なら超おすすめ。

I stayed on the Big Island during Golden Week and participated in this tour. My biggest concern was that it was a meet-up tour with no pick-up service, but since I was staying at a hotel in the Kailua-Kona area, I asked the hotel to arrange a taxi to the tour meeting place. It cost about $15 to get there, and there were no issues.

Kealakekua Bay has very clear water, allowing you to see the fish beautifully. Compared to Hanauma Bay, there are more fish to see. Although Japanese is not spoken, there is no need to worry at all. There were many participants from the mainland, and it was a very satisfying tour. I will participate again.

ケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングは私たちのツアーだけだったので自由に快適に泳ぐことが出来ました。

帰りのクルーズではイルカの群れがジャンプしているところを見ることができ、ハワイの海を満喫しました!

Hawaii's great nature ハワイの大自然

Reviewed by: Shin

I participated in a snorkeling cruise on the Fair Wind!

Both the cruise and snorkeling were truly enjoyable! The two and a half hours of snorkeling flew by. I was really hungry after snorkeling, so the BBQ lunch was absolutely delicious. I also got to make friends with other participants, which made for great memories!

フェアウィンド号でのシュノーケリングクルーズに参加してきました!

クルーズもシュノーケリングも本当に楽しかったです!
シュノーケリングの2時間半はあっという間でした。シュノーケリング後でお腹もすいていたこともあって、BBQでのランチはほんとにおいしかったです。ほかの参加者の方とも仲良くなれていい思い出になりました!
