ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

Rafting & Snorkeling by Captain Zodiac ラフティング＆シュノーケリングbyキャプテン・ゾディアック

Reviewed by: mymy

This is a 5-hour activity.
The day before, I received a notification that the meeting time would be 2 hours earlier than planned due to bad weather. It was helpful to get this notice, as sometimes there is no communication about time changes.
The activity involves going out to sea on an engine-powered rubber boat. The boat jumps over the waves, which adds quite a thrill and makes it enjoyable.
(Safety measures are in place, so there's no risk of falling into the sea.)
During this time of year, we encountered dolphins and whales, and the boat stopped each time we spotted them. We saw schools of dolphins multiple times and witnessed whale jumps as well. Since I was considering a dolphin and whale watching tour, I felt it was a great deal. We also got to see the Big Island from the sea and got close to the lava cliffs, with the guide providing information, making the trip to the snorkeling spot very satisfying.
The main part of the tour, snorkeling, took about 2 hours in a calm cove. The waves were gentle, and the water was clear, allowing us to see corals, tropical fish, and small turtles swimming. Just floating was pleasant, and they provided boards to help with floating. They also prepared sandwiches, fruits, snacks, and drinks, so if you get tired, you can take a break on the boat with some light refreshments.
The other participants in the tour were mostly international travelers, aside from my friend and me, but we had no issues and enjoyed ourselves. It seems that many Japanese tourists also participate, and the guide spoke to us in Japanese that he knew.
The weather was not very good, with the sun coming out and then clouding over, so sunscreen was not absolutely necessary, but I think sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses are essential for the tour.
After the activity, we could enjoy delicious seafood at a restaurant near the harbor, which also increased our satisfaction.
It was a packed and enjoyable experience. I think this is a tour I can recommend.

約5時間のアクティビティです。
前日に天候が悪くなるということで予定よりも2時間ほど早い集合の連絡がありました。時間変更の連絡が無い場合もあるのに連絡を頂けたのは助かりました。
アクティビティは、エンジン付きのゴムボートに乗って海に出ます。波を越える際にボートがジャンプするので、かなりスリルがあり楽しめます。
（セイフティもきちんとしていますので、海に落とされるようなことはありません。）
時期的にイルカやクジラに遭遇し、その度に船を止めてくれました。イルカの群れも何度も見ましたし、クジラのジャンプも何度の目にすることができました。イルカやクジラをウォッチするツアーも検討していたので、すごくお得感を感じました。また海からのハワイ島も見ることができ、溶岩の岸壁にも近づいてくれガイドをしてくれますので、シュノーケリング場所へ行くまでも大満足です。
ツアーのメインであるシュノーケリングも、波の穏やかな入江で2時間ほどの時間を取ってもらえます。波が穏やかで水の透明度も良く、サンゴ、熱帯魚、小さな亀が泳いでいるのを見ることができます。浮いているだけでも気持ち良く、浮く為のボードなども貸してくれます。サンドウィッチ、フルーツ、スナック、ドリンクを用意してくれているので、疲れれば軽食と一緒にボートで休むこともできます。
ツアーの参加者は、友人と私以外は皆海外の方でしたが、問題なく楽しく過ごすことができます。日本人ツアーも多く参加しているようで、ガイドさんも知ってる日本語で話しかけてくれたりしました。
太陽が出たり、曇ったりと天候があまり良くなかったので日焼け止めを必須ではありませんでしたが、ツアーには日焼け止め、帽子、サングラスは必要だと思います。
アクティビティ後は、ハーバー周辺のレストランで美味しい魚介類も食べることができ、これも満足度をアップさせてくれます。
盛りだくさんで、楽しめました。お薦めできるツアーだと思います。

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

disapointing..

Reviewed by: Julia and Pat

To start, the water was pretty rough, they should have considered canceling. Of the 7 people in our group, 2 got sick. We were unable to go ashore at all because the ocean was so rough, and with my parents in the group there was no way they could get back in the kayak from the water if they were to have gotten out to snorkel. All we did was paddle out to the sea caves, which we couldn't enter due to rough water, and paddle back. It was a short, disappointing trip. They did offer for us to take rental kayaks out later in the week, however that didn't fit into our schedule.

This tour started out great. Once we were into the waters, we were told we won't be able to snorkel or go into the caves due to the water being to choppy.. So I guess it depends when you do this tour, out of the whole tour we accomplished maybe 2 hours before heading back. I probably will not do this tour again..

It was not as expected. 期待どおりではなかった

Reviewed by: masa

It is necessary to confirm by phone before the participation date, but even if you call, you only confirm that the reservation is indeed made. This task is often required for Alan's tours, but is there any significance to it? Is there a lack of trust with the local operators?
I parked at what seemed to be a nearby parking lot and changed there.
We were the only participants from Japan. We rode on a rubber boat and listened to the guide and captain's stories while we sped across the sea. I could only understand about half of what was said. The boat was fast, and there was no rocking that made me feel seasick. When we reached the snorkeling point, we spotted dolphins and whales along the way and quietly approached to observe them. We were able to see many dolphins and whales. For those who have experience snorkeling in various places, this was somewhat lacking. The visibility was poor, and there were few types of fish, so I felt like I wasted the one hour of snorkeling time. Since it was snorkeling in a cove-like area, it might be suitable for those who are not used to it. As for the caves, just going nearby was disappointing. In any case, if it's a tour to see dolphins and whales by speedboat, I think I could recommend it for around $50.

参加日前に電話で確認が必要ということですが、電話しても本当に予約されていることを確認するのみです。Ａｌａｎのツアーではしばしばこの作業が必要ですが、何か意味があるのでしょうか。現地との信頼関係が薄いのでしょうか。
レンタカーで近くの駐車場らしきところへ停めて、そこで着替えました。
参加者は、我々のみが日本からでした。ゴムボートに乗りガイド兼船長のお話を聞きながら、ひたすら海上を走ります。お話は半分くらいしか理解できませんでした。船のスピードが速く、船酔いするような揺れはありませんでした。シュノーケルポイントまで行くと途中で、イルカやクジラを見つけてそっと近くによって眺めていました。イルカ、クジラはたくさん見ることができました。シュノーケリングは、いろいろなところで経験している人にとっては、いまいちです。透明度はなく、魚の種類も少なく、1時間のシュノーケリング時間をもてあましました。入り江のようなところでのシュノーケリングなので、慣れていない人には適当かもしれません。洞窟に関しては、ただ近くに行ってみるだけで、期待外れでした。とにかく、スピードボートに乗ってイルカ・クジラを見るツアーとしてであれば、50ドルくらいだったらおすすめできると思います。

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.

On our honeymoon ハネムーンで

Reviewed by: ハワイ大好き

It was my first time in Hawaii, and since there was no Japanese-speaking guide on the tour, I was initially anxious. However, all the participants were fun people, and I had a great time! From the reception, I couldn't communicate in Japanese, but a very pleasant woman explained things using gestures. After checking in, I used the restroom, applied sunscreen, and waited until it was time for the tour. If you don't apply sunscreen here, you could end up with a bad sunburn after about seven hours. We boarded the rubber boat and headed out to see dolphins. We encountered many that day, and they were so cute as they chased after the boat! From there, we went to the snorkeling point. It was my first time snorkeling, but I was able to enjoy it thanks to the Japanese instructions provided. Along the way, we were served soft drinks, snacks, sandwiches, and fruits. The weather was great, making it even more special. On our way back, we were lucky enough to encounter a whale!!! It seems that this doesn't happen very often! It was a fun day spent with cheerful people.

初めてのハワイで日本語のガイドがいないツアーだったので初めは不安でしたが、参加者の皆さんも楽しい人たちばかりでとても楽しめました！受付からずっと日本語は通じませんでしたが、とても感じのいい女性がジェスチャーを交えて説明してくれます。受付の後はトイレを済ませ、日焼け止めを塗って、案内してもらうまで待ちます。ここで塗らないと7時間ほどかかるので真っ赤に焼けてしまいます。ゴムボートに乗り込みまずはイルカを見に行きます。この日はたくさん出会えました。ボートを追いかけてきてすごく可愛かったです！そこからシュノーケリングポイントへ行きます。シュノーケリングも初めてだったのですが、日本語の注意事項の表記で説明してもらい楽しく終えることができました。途中でソフトドリンクとお菓子やサンドイッチ、フルーツも出ました。天気も良かったので格別でした。帰り際、ラッキーなことに鯨に遭遇!!!こんなことはなかなかないみたいです！陽気な人たちと楽しく過ごした一日でした。

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・・・

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

I recommend it. お勧めです。

Reviewed by: たけのこマン

I participated in a tour called "Ocean Rafting & Lava Cave Adventure with Snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay" by Captain Zodiac.

Overview of the activity:
First, we boarded a rubber boat and headed out to sea. Despite being a lightweight rubber boat, it had two engines, so it was quite fast. The day was a bit windy with high waves, and we were told we might bounce around, but it was better than I had imagined. Shortly after setting off, we encountered a pod of dolphins. The dolphins, being curious, approached the boat and swam alongside us. We had time to take photos, and I managed to capture many pictures of the dolphins. As we continued, we encountered a whale next. Although the whale was cautious and we couldn't get too close, we were thrilled to see it breach!

At this point, I was already quite satisfied, but the boat continued to a calm cove where we enjoyed snorkeling. We had over an hour for snorkeling, which was fantastic. The water was clear, and there were plenty of corals, so we saw many tropical fish. After lunch, we returned to the port, and along the way, the guide showed us various sightseeing spots that could only be seen from the sea, including the site where the fire goddess Pele is said to have descended.

Positive points:
For the price, the activities were abundant, and I was very satisfied. Dolphin watching, whale watching, and snorkeling all in one tour is a great deal! The guides and the captain were very friendly, making for a fun time. The other passengers were also nice, which added to the enjoyment. Additionally, for water protection, they provided a large container for our mobile cameras. If you ask, they will take it out for you as many times as needed. They also kept our bags in a place where they wouldn't get wet, so there was no need to worry.

Negative points:
The tour is primarily in English. The guides and captain can speak a little Japanese, but since all the other passengers were English speakers, the main language was English. They can speak some basic Japanese, but communication might be difficult. My husband and I have studied abroad, so we had no issues with English, and we were very satisfied with the tour, but it might be tough for those who are not comfortable with English (I don't think this was mentioned on the website. Even if it was, it wasn't emphasized, so many might overlook it). Also, this tour is not suitable for those who get seasick. The boat is small, accommodating about ten people, so while it's fine when moving, it can sway a lot when stationary, which might be tough for those prone to seasickness. Taking motion sickness medication is essential.

Furthermore, although the tour title mentioned a lava cave adventure, we did not visit a lava cave. Also, since the boat has no roof, don't forget sunscreen and sunglasses. They provide an explanation at the beginning, but it's in English.

Overall, I am very satisfied. I recommend it for those who are okay with English (even if you don't understand everything, it's fine), but I cannot recommend it for those who absolutely need Japanese. Considering the price, it is a great value tour. I would definitely recommend this activity to my friends.

オーシャンラフティング＆溶岩洞窟アドベンチャー　ケアラケクア湾シュノーケル付き by キャプテン・ゾディアック号 と言うツアーに参加いたしました。
アクティビティーの概要。
先ずはゴムボートに乗って海に出ました。船体は軽いゴムボートなのにエンジンが二個付いてるのでスピードはかなり出ます。
当日は風が強めで波は高いので跳ねるかもと言われていましたが、想像してたよりは大丈夫でした。
船を走らせて直ぐにイルカの群れに遭遇しました。
イルカは好奇心旺盛なので船に近づいてくれて並走してくれました。
ゆっくりと写真を撮る時間を設けてもらえ沢山のイルカの写真を撮れました。
また、さらに船を走らせてると次はクジラに遭遇しました。
クジラは警戒心が強いのか近くで見ることはできませんでしたが、ブリーチを見ることができて迫力満点で興奮しました！
これの時点で、かなり満足していましたが、船はさらに走り、波の穏やかな入江に行きシュノーケリングを堪能しました。
時間も1時間以上取ってもらえたので大満足です。
水の透明度は良くて珊瑚もたくさんあるので熱帯魚も多く見れました。
その後昼食を取り港に戻ったのですが途中に岸壁にある火の女神ペレが降臨したという場所やその他沢山の海からしか見れない観光スポットを案内してくれました。
良かった点。
値段の割にアクティビティーが盛りだくさんで大満足です。
イルカウォッチング、ホエールウォッチング、シュノーケリング。
単発のツアーもありますがこの値段で全てを網羅できるのはお値打ちです！
またガイドさん、船長さんも凄く気さくな方で楽しい時間でした。また同船者もいい方ばかりでとても楽しかったです。
また、水対策として、携帯カメラは大きいタッパに入れてくれます。
必要な時に伝えれば何度でも出してくれます。バッグも水のかからない場所に置いてくれるので心配ないです。
悪かった点。
基本、英語のみのツアーです。ガイドさん、船長さんも若干日本語を話せますが同船者が皆英語なので基本英語です。片言、単語レベルで日本語を話してくれますがコミュニケーションはとれません。
私たち夫婦は留学経験もあるので英語は問題なく、ツアー自体は大満足ですが、英語が苦手な方は少し辛いかもしれません。（ホームページにも書かれてなかったと思います。書いてあったとしても全面に出てないので見逃す方が多いと思います。）
あと、船酔いをする人には向きません。ボートが10人乗りぐらいの小さなものなので走ってる間はいいのですが停泊中は大きく揺れるので船酔いのきつい人は辛いかもしれません。酔い止めは必須です。
あと、ツアータイトルに溶岩洞窟アドベンチャーとありましたが溶岩洞窟は行きませんでした。
また、船に屋根が無いので日焼け止めやサングラスセットもお忘れなく。
最初に説明はされますが英語です。
総合評価は大満足です。しかし、英語でも大丈夫（分からなくても気にしない）という方にはお勧めですが絶対日本語じゃなきゃだめという人にはお勧めできません。
それを差し引いても値段面を考慮するとお値打ちなツアーなのではないでしょうか。
私は友人に是非とも勧めたいアクティビティーです。

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.

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾　シュノーリングツアー ＜軽食付き／英語ガイド＞

Snorkeling was fun! シュノーケル　楽しかった♪

Reviewed by: yumecoron

Although we received a notification that the meeting place had changed, our Wi-Fi router ran out of battery on the way, and we couldn't arrive on time. Feeling quite upset, we were lucky enough to meet a staff member who happened to be there after the boat had already departed, and they helped us rebook for the next day. We were not charged any fees and received kind assistance, which was a relief.

The next day, our group consisted of my husband and me, along with an American family of six, including elementary and middle school children. We set off together. The boat moved at quite a speed, jumping over the waves, and my husband, who easily gets seasick, didn't have time to feel nauseous (laughs). I think the distance was long. As someone who loves roller coasters, I found it exhilarating.

The waters of Kealakekua Bay were filled with beautiful tropical fish, and dolphins swam close by, which made for a very satisfying experience. We also had time to enjoy snacks and drinks on the boat, and the captain's light jokes created a friendly atmosphere. During this time, I was a bit worried about my husband's seasickness due to the boat's rocking, but fortunately, he didn't get sick.

On the way back, we visited various caves, but we didn't go inside; instead, we got close enough to see the rock faces and areas worn away by the waves. However, seeing the grandeur of the Big Island from the sea was exceptional, and I believe it was a wonderful experience.

集合場所が変更になった連絡をもらっていたものの、途中Wifiルーターの充電が切れ、迷って集合時間に到着できなかった私達・・。泣きが入る気分でいると、運よく船が出港後に、たまたま居たスタッフの方と出会えた為、翌日に再予約を入れてもらえることになりました。手数料も取られず、親切に対応してもらえて、助かりました。
翌日は、私達夫婦と、小学生と中学生位の子供のいるアメリカ人ファミリー計６人で乗り合って出港。かなりのスピードで海原をジャンピングしながら進む船に、船酔いしやすい主人も、酔う暇がない位（笑）距離も長かったと思います。ジェットコースターが大好きな私は、気持ち良かったです。
ケアラケクア湾の海は、きれいな熱帯魚があちこちに沢山いて、ちょうどイルカもすぐ近くまで泳いできたりと、大満足でした。船の上で、スナックやジュースを飲食する時間もありました。船長の軽いジョークになごやかな雰囲気。この時間の方が、船の揺れを感じて主人の船酔いを心配した感じです。（でも酔わずに済みました）
帰りはあちこちの洞窟？をまわってくれましたが、洞窟の中にはいるのではなく、目の前まで
いって岩肌や波で削られた場所を間近にみるというものでした・・。
でも、海側からみるハワイ島の雄大さも格別で、とても良い体験ができたと思っています。

I was moved by the beautiful sea and the many creatures! きれいな海とたくさんの生き物に感動です！

Reviewed by: hua zi

On January 9th, my friend and I participated in a Captain Zodiac tour. We were the only two Japanese among 16 foreigners, and I was anxious because I had heard there wouldn't be a Japanese guide. However, they provided a Japanese explanation sheet and spoke slowly, so we were able to participate without any issues.

We took a boat to Kealakekua Bay, and at first, I was scared because the boat was moving at such high speed that I felt like I might be thrown off. But gradually, it became fun. I had read in previous comments that the rafting wasn't very thrilling, but I found it quite exciting and enjoyable. Moreover, we were lucky enough to see a mother and baby whale and their tails along the way.

During snorkeling, the coral was incredibly beautiful, and the fish seemed accustomed to people, allowing us to observe them closely without fleeing. They allocated plenty of time for snorkeling, so after getting tired and taking a break on the boat, we could go back into the water and enjoy it at a leisurely pace. It wasn't a problem for us since we had experienced snorkeling the day before, but I felt a bit concerned that all the explanations were in English for first-timers. However, the captain was very kind and communicated a lot through gestures, so I think it would be okay.

For the cave experience, we approached the cave with the boat, and it felt more like an explanation about the cave rather than an exploration. But on the way back, we encountered a pod of dolphins and a sea turtle, which made the experience very satisfying.

I think this is an activity you can't experience in Japan, so I highly recommend participating if you come to the Big Island!

１月9日、友人と二人でキャプテンゾディアックのツアーに参加しました。外国人16人に対して日本人は私達２人で、しかも日本語ガイドはないと事前に聞いていて不安だったのですが、日本語の説明書を準備してくれていて、ゆっくりしゃべってくれたりしたので、問題なく参加できました。
ケアラケクア湾までボートで行ったのですが、すごいスピードで進むので、ボートから飛ばされそうで初めは怖かったですが、だんだん楽しくなりました。以前コメントに、ラフティングと書いてあるがそんなにスリルはなかったと書いてあったので、なめていたなと思うぐらいスリルがあり楽しかったです。しかも、途中で親子クジラの姿やその尾びれも見れてすごくラッキーでした。
シュノーケリングでは珊瑚がすごく綺麗で、魚も人に慣れているのか近くまで寄っても逃げず、じっくり観察できました。シュノーケリングの時間を多く取ってくれているので、疲れて一度ボートに上がって休憩した後、もう一度海に入ることができ、ゆっくり楽しめました。ただ私達は前日にシュノーケリングを経験していたので問題なかったですが、初めての人だと説明が全て英語なので、その点が少し不安かなと感じました。でもキャプテンがすごく優しく、色々と身振り手振りでしてくれるので、大丈夫な気もします。
洞窟体験では洞窟近くにボートに近づいて、洞窟について説明してくれるという感じだったので、洞窟探検かな？という印象でした。でも帰りにイルカの群れや海亀に会えて、大満足の内容でした。
日本では体験できないようなアクティビティだと思うので、ハワイ島に来たらぜひ参加することをお勧めします！

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.

Hawaii Lifeguard Surf Instructors - Kona Private & Semi-Private Surfing Lessons

awesome place to learn to surf!

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We had a brief lesson in the classroom where the lady that checked us in gave us a brief history of their operations and then explained the does and don'ts of surfing. We practiced the three steps to stand up a few times in the classroom then sent us to the beach that's an easy 4mi straight down alii dr. Just as we left, the other couple that was supposed to be in our group arrived (a half hour late). The instructor was very friendly to them even though the girl was acting like being late was somehow the instructors fault. We went to the beach where we met the water instructors and waited for the other couple to finish the classroom session. The instructors were super friendly and answered any questions we could think to ask them. When the other couple arrived, the fun began. There was only one couple per instructor, and they had us standing within minutes! They also made sure we got a full 2 hours of water time (and maybe a smidge extra) despite the other couple's delay. Great experience, highly recomend!

She started calling on Friday morning at 8:00 o’clock with all of the places informing her that it would be Monday before they would have a spot for the three boys. The lone exception was Life Guard Surf Instructors. This family owned surf instruction firm took the information about our three (3) sons and arranged to have another instructor come in to give our sons a group lesson, which occurred within three (3) hours of when we initially called.

When we arrived they receive a thorough briefing about what was in store for everyone when they got into the water. This was extremely important since one of our sons has some learning difficulties and is very uncomfortable if there are things that he will be expected to do and he is not warned about them in advance. When we reached the place where the water instruction was to take place, to our surprise, our son who has the learning difficulty was given one on one instruction from one of the Owner family members. He thoroughly enjoyed himself. Our other sons also had a great time. We would highly recommend Life Guard Surf Instructors to everyone who wants their children to be instructed by highly trained and caring instructors.

It was great. よかったです

Reviewed by: ルミケケ

I saw it in Honolulu before, but this one was better.
The place isn't very large, so I think you can see from the back as well.
I didn't understand the words very well, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

以前ホノルルでみましたが、こちらの方がよかったです。
場所も広くないので後ろでも見えると思います。
言葉はあまりわかりませんでしたがそれなりに楽しめました。

Paradise Helicopters - Volcano, Lava & Waterfalls Flight from Hilo

Volcano Helicopter Tour

Reviewed by: shrikant jalukar

There was no lava erupting nor flowing. We had Door closed Ride. What Open Door Tour will experience ? Prior to our arrival at Hilo, I was told , " YES " you can see Lava , etc. Your office should give real truthful information. Some tourists come from too far away, like we came to Hawaii from Michigan, ( Main Land ) ... ... 1 ! !.

Hawaii Lifeguard Surf Instructors - Kona Private & Semi-Private Surfing Lessons

So much fun!

Reviewed by: Sarah and Marc

Marc and I have never surfed before, so we were slightly scaptical of how much you could learn in 45min theory and one hour in the water. As it turned out, it was totally enough to get the basics and make you feel exhausted (you will be sore the next day, but it is really worth it!). The teachers are awesome, they are very encouraging and positive. It is a really great hawaiian family run company - they just have the natural aloha attitude.They help you picking the right waves and show you how to stand up on the board right away. Of course you will also fall in the water, but eveyone does, so it is just so much fun! We recommend taking a surf lesson with them 100% and would do it again immeadiatly!

ハワイ島 アトランティス潜水艦　ハワイの海底アドベンチャー ＜日本語オーディオガイド＞　

Translation is not available because the original text is unclear. 全て英語の説明

Reviewed by: とぴこ

I arranged this for my parents who are over 60 years old. They said there was an hour wait from when they were picked up until they boarded. Was that time for a stroll? The explanations underwater were all in English, but my parents, who don't understand English, still managed to enjoy it to some extent.

６０歳オーバーの両親のために手配しました。迎えに来てもらってから乗るまでに１時間の待ち時間があったそうです。散策の時間でしょうか？海中の説明は全て英語で英語がわからない両親でもそれなりに楽しめたそうです。

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.
