We had an exceptional guide who could field any question from our mostly middle age bunch. His knowledge of Hawaiian culture and history combined with present day challenges facing the island made the day a wonderfully enriching experience. Wear hiking boots or rough bottom hiking shoes. Prepare to get a little dirt and mud on you, meet new people and enjoy a leisurely day. Long pants are helpful if you tend to be cold natured and something with a sleeve for the top was appreciated by all. Sunglasses and hat were also helpful. They equip you with towel for the swim, bug spray, sun screen, rain poncho, water, snack and small shoulder pack for all this gear. The hike was easy for younger, experienced hikers and slightly challenging for older, not so great shape people. Expect the water to be very cold if you swim to waterfall at the end of trail. Really fun day. Worth our vacation time and dollars!

I searched for activities that I could do with my 1 year and 11-month-old child on the Big Island of Hawaii and participated in one. Since we came all the way to the Big Island, I wanted to join activities that allow us to enjoy nature, but I thought there would be quite limited options for toddlers.
This snorkeling tour was enjoyable for both adults and toddlers! They provided rental snorkeling gear in adult sizes, as well as baby-sized safety vests and floaties, which you could choose between those with and without a seat.
By adjusting the playtime according to the water temperature and the baby's condition, we were able to have a great time. When we visited, the water temperature was a bit chilly, so we opted for the afternoon course with an hour and a half of snorkeling time, but we wrapped it up after about 30 minutes to accommodate the baby's condition. (The first 10 minutes of snorkeling time included a briefing on safety and a tutorial on how to use the snorkeling gear.)
During the remaining time, we relaxed in the sun while enjoying an all-you-can-eat snack and giving the baby some treats while admiring the beautiful scenery. My husband enjoyed snorkeling a bit longer and had fun on the diving slide.
We were able to fully enjoy snorkeling unique to the Big Island, seeing the clear water and many colorful fish! If you bring an underwater camera, the clear water allows you to capture adorable fish swarming around the coral reefs, which is a lot of fun.
The slide was quite high for someone like me who can't swim (you slide down from the second floor of the boat into the sea), but my husband seemed to enjoy it. It was hard to get bored, but if you do get tired of snorkeling, you can also enjoy the thrilling slide or diving, making the hour and a half fly by!
On the way back, in addition to snacks, there were all-you-can-eat cut oranges and pineapples, allowing us to recover the calories we burned swimming while enjoying the beautiful sea, making the cruise itself enjoyable. The baby was happy because he could eat oranges! They mentioned that you might see dolphins during the cruise, but unfortunately, we didn't see any during our time, though it was still plenty of fun.
Also, please note that Japanese is not spoken on-site, and communication is only in English. Moreover, there were no other Japanese people besides our family. However, even with our limited English, the staff responded with smiles and didn't show any displeasure, so I think even with middle school-level English, you can manage just fine. There are Japanese instruction sheets on board for safety briefings, so if you're worried about your English skills, you can feel comfortable participating. The safety instructions included areas where swimming is allowed, prohibitions against diving under the boat, touching the coral reefs, standing on the seabed including the coral reefs, and warnings about not touching sea urchins as they are very dangerous.
One service I appreciated was that there was sunscreen available on the boat for free. Since environmentally friendly sunscreen is necessary to protect the coral reefs, I was wondering if my own sunscreen would be okay, but they had proper sunscreen available that could be used for babies as well! It was mentioned in the instructions to apply it 30 minutes before entering the water.
The boat was a catamaran, which might have less sway, but it still rocked quite a bit, so I think it's better for those who are prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication. It’s also wise to have bags and wipes for the baby. Since the cruise takes about an hour each way, it might be good to have a change of clothes for the baby, as they might get cold if they stay in wet swimsuits on the way back. We didn't bring any, and I wrapped the baby in a bath towel to keep him warm in the sun on the way back, so it was fine, but it might be better to have a change of clothes. By the way, the only place to change is the restro
1歳11ヶ月の幼児とハワイ島で参加出来るアクティビティを探して参加しました。
せっかくハワイ島に来たからには自然を満喫出来るアクティビティに参加したいですが、
幼児もとなるとなかなか少ないと思います。
こちらのシュノーケリングツアーは幼児も問題無く楽しめました!
大人サイズのシュノーケリング道具のレンタルはもちろん、ベビーサイズの安全ベスト(名前が分からない)や、浮き輪も股付き、股無しで選べて貸してくれます。
水温やベビーの体調を鑑みて、遊ぶ時間を調整すれば楽しく過ごせます。
我が家が遊びに行った時期は水温が少し冷たかったので午後のコースで1時間半のシュノーケリングタイムでしたが、ベビーの体調に合わせて30分位で切り上げました。
(シュノーケリングタイムの最初の10分位は注意事項の説明とシュノーケリングの使い方講座です)
残りの時間は素晴らしい景色を眺めながら、食べ放題のスナックを頂いたり、ベビーにおやつをあげたりしながらのんびり日向ぼっこ。
主人はもう少しシュノーケリングをしたり、飛び込みのすべり台をして楽しんでいました。
水の透明度も、カラフルなお魚達もたくさん見れてハワイ島ならではのシュノーケリングを満喫出来ました!
水中カメラを持って行くと水が綺麗なので、珊瑚礁に群がる可愛い魚たちを撮ることが出来て楽しいです。
すべり台は泳げない私には結構な高さで(船の二階から海に滑り降りる)出来ませんでしたが、主人は楽しかったようです。
なかなか飽きませんが、もしシュノーケリングに飽きたらスリリングなすべり台や飛び込みも出来て1時間半はあっという間です!
帰りの船内ではスナックの他にカットオレンジやパイナップルが食べ放題で、
泳いで消費したカロリーを回復しながら素敵な海を眺め、クルージング自体も楽しかったです。
ベビーもオレンジは食べれるのでご機嫌でした!
クルージング中にいるかに会えるかも?と書いていましたが、私達の時は見れず残念でしたがそれでも十分楽しかったです。
それと現地では日本語は通じず、英語のみで会話します。
しかも私達家族以外の日本人も居ませんでした。
それでもチェックインからつたない単語メインの英語でも、スタッフの方は嫌な顔せずニコニコと対応してくれるので中学生レベルの英語でもなんとかなります。
船内では注意事項の説明は日本語の説明書があるので英語力に不安がある場合も安心して遊べると思います。
注意事項は泳いで良い範囲、
海洋保護地区の為に船の下に潜る事、珊瑚礁に触ること、珊瑚礁を含め海底に立つことを禁止、ウニはとても危険だから触らない事等が書いていました。
サービスで嬉しかったのは、日焼け止めも船にあり無料で使えた事です。
珊瑚礁を白化から守るため環境配慮の日焼け止めが必要で自分が持っている日焼け止めでも大丈夫かな?と思っていたら、ちゃんと日焼け止めが用意してあり、ベビーにも使えました!
水に入る30分前には塗ること、と注意事項に書いていました。
船は双胴船で揺れも少ないのかも知れませんが、それでもだいぶ揺れるので酔いやすい方は酔い止め薬を飲んだ方が良いと思います。
ベビー用には袋と拭くものがあると無難です。
クルージングも片道1時間弱あるので、帰りに濡れた水着のままだとベビーが寒がるかも知れないので着替えもあった方が良いと思います。
我が家は持って行かず、ベビーをバスタオルでぐるぐる巻きにして日向ぼっこさせながら帰ったので大丈夫でしたが、着替えた方が良いかも知れませんね。
ちなみに着替える場所は船内にトイレしかありません。
ハワイ島で幼児も参加出来るアクティビティを探しているならオススメです。

After reading the detail for this tour we were extremely disappointed with what we experienced. We were a party of 4 who were split over 2 different tours. We thought this was due to weight restrictions which we couldn't understand because we are all average but in hindsight realise it was because we all wanted doors off. The pilot was great gave lots of detail and interesting facts. The flight was wonderful experiencing doors off just unfortunate the tour has not been revised since the lava stopped flowing and you spend the majority of the flight flying over blacken ground which becomes boring very fast. We were looking forward to seeing the waterfalls but this was a quick fly over and back to base so felt let down with this also. We had another couple on our flight as did my sister on her flight and all eight of us were extremely disappointed with what our tour delivered for the cost. The company really need to change the itinery for this tour to make it an experience to remember as it obviously once was when the lava was flowing.
Aloha Lizjazza,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your experience with us. We apologize that the experience didn't live up to your expectations. Sometimes, the booking process and weight and balance considerations necessitate us splitting groups to fit into our available capacity, but in all cases we strive to accommodate the desires of our guests. We find many passengers who remain excited to see the recent 7000+ acres of lava from last year's Leilani eruption, to include Fissure 8, and many completely engulfed coastal areas.
Mahalo,

Since my mother has difficulty walking, a tour that involves a lot of walking was not possible, so I signed up for this one. It takes about an hour and a half to drive from Waikoloa, but the road is almost straight, so I was able to get there without any mistakes using Google Maps. There are no doors, so the wind comes in strongly, making it quite cold. My mother seemed to really enjoy the best position next to the driver, as she could see both the front and the surroundings. We were also able to see how the lava flows into the sea while circling around the crater. Definitely worth it!
足が悪い母がいるので、がんがん歩くツアーは無理なので、こちらに申し込みました。ワイコロアからレンタカーで1時間半くらいですが、ほぼまっすぐの道なので、Google mapで間違いなくいけました。ドアなしなので、風はガンガン来ますので、寒いです。母は運転手のとなりのベストポジションで前も周りも見えてすごく楽しかったみたいです。火口もくるくる回ってくれて、海にどのように溶岩が流れていくかも見れました。価値あり!!

I participated with my 4.5-year-old child, and they provided us with kids' masks and boards with viewing windows, which allowed my daughter to enjoy herself.
There was a decent variety and number of fish, and although the visibility was okay, I appreciated that we weren't trying to catch fish with sausages. The slide and diving board required just the right amount of courage, which was great. The restrooms on the boat were also clean.
The speed of speaking in English was fast, but they provided important information on a paper written in Japanese, so I felt there were no issues at all. (My language skills are at a level where I can manage basic conversations in English.)
We received plenty of snacks and fruits, the timing was just right, and dolphins swam alongside us on the way back, so I think the affordable afternoon plan was a good choice.
4歳半の子どもと参加しましたが、キッズ用マスクや、覗き窓つきボードを貸していただき、娘も楽しむことができました。
そこそこの種類と数の魚、透明度でしたが、ソーセージで魚集めるようなこともしていなかったので、好感がもてました。
滑り台や飛び込み台は、ほどよい勇気が必要なレベルで良かったです。

I participated on the last night of our stay. As mentioned in the comments, there were no other Japanese participants besides our family, and many older couples from Europe and America attended! However, the crew was very attentive, and we were able to enjoy the sunset comfortably! They shared stories about the history of Hawaii, but since we are not good at English, we didn't understand much. However, I think Japanese guests can participate with peace of mind! The food was buffet style and quite delicious. The main sunset was breathtaking! We were able to relax on the boat on our last night! One thing to note... the meeting point is at the local pier, and you cannot park your car at the pier, so be careful. I recommend parking at a nearby pay parking area around Kailua-Kona!

Our first family trip with my spouse and our parents, a total of six people! There wasn't a specific dress code, but many people wore dresses or collared shirts.
Just before the reception, there was a shell lei gift. If you want a lei that looks like a black stone, there is an additional charge. Further ahead, there was a photographer who took pictures and came around to sell them during the show. We declined the photo session and proceeded to the reception.
Unless you pay a special additional fee, you will be guided to seats in front of the stage in the order of reception. Since we arrived just before 5:30 PM, the front seats were already taken, and we ended up in the back. When going to get food, they also guide people to the front seats first. The only soft drink available was fruit punch, and the only other option was lemon water. Since I can't drink alcohol, I would have preferred a more varied drink menu. Our parents enjoyed buying various beers and had a great time drinking.
The food was delicious, and we were all full. The show took place at the beginning and end of the meal. It was a dinner show that was longer and more substantial than we expected, and the whole family was very satisfied.

The luau show seems to be quite popular, and when I arrived 30 minutes early, there was already a line. Before it started, a beautiful rainbow appeared, which was lucky.

The food was buffet-style, and drinks were all-you-can-drink. The dishes had a distinctly Hawaiian flavor. Before the show, we could see the whole pig being brought out and learn some simple hula dance moves.

At the reception, I unexpectedly had a bougainvillea lei placed around my neck, and I thought, "This is Hawaii!" I quenched my thirst with a Blue Hawaii from the premium seats and enjoyed a buffet-style dinner.

Held in the garden of the Hilton Ocean Tower, by the end of the show, stars were shining above the tall palm trees, and the fatigue from the time difference seemed to dissipate completely.

There were few Japanese people, and many locals... The show that starts with the entrance of Kamehameha was quite good. It wasn't very large, but it was compactly organized, and we could see well. The food was Hawaiian, and it was delicious. The show featured hula dances that told the story of humans being born from taro, hula dedicated to Kamehameha, and hula from various islands like Tahiti and New Zealand... all were skillful and full of highlights. I highly recommend this luau when visiting the Big Island.

The fire dance was the only good part.
However, there were very few drink options for the all-you-can-drink, and it took an astonishing amount of time to reach the buffet. Everyone entered early, so it felt like we wasted hours. (Originally, the meal was supposed to start an hour after the drinks, but there were delays and waiting in line.) This was surprising to the point that it couldn't just be brushed off as "because it's overseas."
The crowd was mostly Americans, and everyone seemed to be waiting reluctantly. An American lady next to me shouted, "I'm hungry!"
I went with my husband at the end of July, and since it was a venue that could hold hundreds of people, we left with a wry smile, thinking they must be making quite a profit. The seats I bought were $100 per person. The reviews were quite good, so it was baffling.
ファイヤーダンスのみ良かったです。
ただ、飲み放題の種類も少なく、ビュッフェにたどり着くまで、恐ろしく時間がかかりました。皆さん前もって早めに入るので、何時間も無駄にした感じでした。(もともと食事は飲み物のあと、一時間後開始ですが、遅れや順番待ちもあり)
こればかりは、「海外だから、、」ですまされないレベルで驚きました。
満席の客層はほぼアメリカ人でしたが、皆仕方なく待っているといった感じでした。横のアメリカ人のおばさまは、「アイムハングリー!」と叫んでいました。
7月末に主人と行きましたが、何百人も入る開場なので、相当の儲けだね~と苦笑いしながら帰ってきました。私が買った席は1人100ドルでした。口コミはなかなか良かったので、意味不明でした。

About 30 minutes before the gathering time, there were quite a few people in line, and in total, I think there were over 200 people at a glance. The buffet area was very small, and we had to go to each table to get our food. The taste was okay, but I didn't feel like going back for seconds. Beer and other drinks were all-you-can-drink.
The show itself was average, and it didn't really get the whole venue excited. From the poolside, depending on the room, you can see it better than being in the venue. Since we were staying at this hotel, I felt that it would have been sufficient to watch from the poolside.
集合時間の30分前には結構多くの人が並んでいて、最終的には軽く見ても200人以上はいたと思います。ビュッフェ会場はとても小さくて、テーブルごとに料理を取りに行かされました。味はまあまあでしたが、私はおかわりがほしいとは思いませんでした。ビールなどは飲み放題です。
ショーの内容は普通で、会場全体が盛り上がるというほどではありません。
プールサイドからも、部屋によっては会場にいるより、しっかり見ることができます。私達はこのホテルに泊まっていたので、申し訳ないですが、これならプールサイドからで十分だったなあと思いました。

This was my second time participating. Although only English is spoken, they responded politely even with my broken language, which made me feel at ease. My 6-year-old and 8-year-old had a blast sliding down the slide on the boat and jumping off the diving board. The hamburger lunch, with burgers grilled on the boat, was also fantastic. I will definitely participate again when I go to Hawaii Island.
今回は2回目の参加でした。英語しか通じないですが、片言でも丁寧に対応してくれて、安心して参加できます。6歳と8歳の子どもも船の滑り台から滑ったり、飛び込み台からジャンプしたりと大はしゃぎでした。船上で焼いてくれるハンバーガーをはさんでのハンバーガーの昼食も最高です。またハワイ島に行く時は参加します。

There were hardly any Japanese people, but all the staff were kind, and other customers were well-mannered, making it very comfortable. The cruise goes further than I expected, so I was really satisfied. The meals weren't particularly luxurious, but considering the price, they were sufficient. The live performance was very pleasant, and I'm really glad I participated.
日本人がほとんどいなかったのですが、スタッフが皆親切で、他のお客さんもマナーを守っていて、とても快適でした。思ったより遠くまでクルーズするので、本当に満足出来ます。
食事はそれ程豪華ではないですが、あの料金から考えたら充分かな?
生演奏もとても心地よく、参加して本当に良かったです。

The show itself was good. I felt that the variety of dishes was a bit lacking, and there seemed to be a limited selection of drinks. I also thought the prices were a bit high.
ショー自体は良かったです。
料理の種類が少し物足りないのと、飲み物の種類が少なかった気がします。料金的に少し高かったように思います。

I chose the King Kamehameha Hotel because I wanted to see the show.
We were supposed to gather at 5:30, but by 5:00, there was a long line at the meeting place.
We sit in the order we lined up for the seats in the show venue.
We go to the grassy area to get dinner and drinks in order.
The venue is very close to the ocean, near the home of King Kamehameha. The breeze was refreshing.
◎本ショーを見学したくて、キングカメハメハホテルを選択しました。
◎五時半集合でしたが、5時には集合場所が、長蛇の列でした。
◎並んだ順番に、基本 ショー会場の席に座ります。
◎芝生エリアに、夕食と飲み物を、順番にとりに行きます。
◎会場は海が直ぐ近くで、カメハメハ王の家の近く。風が清々しかったです。

Staying at Royal Kona was very convenient. I lined up early after reading the reviews and was able to get a spot relatively close to the front. As it started, the sunset was beautiful, and I was captivated by the stunning view. The meal was served in a way where we went to get it in order of seating, so it wasn't too crowded. The taste was good as well. The song "Number One Day of Christmas" was amusing and stuck in my head, and my family and I found ourselves humming it.
ロイヤルコナに泊まっていたので、とても便利でした。クチコミを見て早めに並び、わりと前の方で見ることができました。
始まる頃に夕日が沈み、素晴らしい景色にうっとり。
食事は座席順に取りに行く形でしたのでそれほど混むこともなかったです。
味も良かったですよ。
ナンバーワンデイオブクリスマスの歌が面白くて、耳に残り、家族で口ずさんでました。

the boat ride to the snorkeling site was really good. saw dolphins and flying fish en route.
the snorkeling itself was good but not great. not a large variety of sea life. the water was very choppy. Crew were good and helpful. Food was really bad.
Aloha krm,
We so appreciate your business! I can't imagine how BBQ cheeseburgers disappointed you this much, but we apologize nonetheless.
In terms of our snorkel site, I personally have never had a bad experience, and wish I could have been your personal guide. If anyone out there reads this review before they come out on a trip with us, just know that any crew member is happy to verbally guide you to some of the best areas to snorkel at our exclusive site.
Finally, sometimes the ocean is choppy. We couldn't run a company like ours if that were a consistent state of our shoreline waters, but it does happen, and is beyond our control. We are always ready with remedies for motion sickness though!
Thank you again for your feedback. We hope that you'll give it another try some day.

By booking a premium seat, you can watch right in front of the stage. They also come to take your drink refill orders, which is convenient. The buffet food was delicious. The hula dance was wonderful, but the final dance by the man using fire was magnificent!
プレミアム席を申し込むと舞台の真ん前で観られます。ドリンクのお代わりの注文も取りに来てくれ楽チン。ビュッフェの食事も美味しかった。フラダンスも素晴らしいけど、最後の火を使う男性の舞踊が勇壮でした!
