It was my first time on a helicopter. I boarded it thanks to the opportunity provided by "Tōdai Ō." We were blessed with great weather, with no wind or clouds, making it a very elegant journey.
It was quite a distance from Kona, and the round trip was challenging. However, I highly recommend it as we got to see the crater from above, as well as the beautiful ocean and ʻōhiʻa lehua. It was an exhilarating two hours from start to finish.
人生初のヘリコプターでした。東大王がきっかけに搭乗しました。お天気に恵まれ、風も雲も無く、とても優雅な旅になりました。
コナから距離があり、往復は大変でした。ですが、火口を上空から眺めたり、綺麗な海やオヒアレフアを見れたり、おすすめです。終始大興奮の2時間でした。

We found this trip rather disappointing. It was supposed to last for an hour but we returned to the pier after 50 minutes. In the event we had probably seen all there was to see after 20 minutes. You see rather dull brown/grey coral, some small blue and yellow fish and some sea urchins - No wrays or sharks or anything unusual. In fact the guide started to describe the history of the buildings on the shoreline as we headed back. Not worth the money.

The boat sways quite a bit, so at first, it's hard to walk, but during meal times, we anchor offshore, so you can relax. Moreover, at that time, a manta ray and many dolphins gathered around. I think they must have liked the singing. I can't remember the name, but there was a singer with the most beautiful voice singing live the whole time, and songs that felt very Hawaiian, which was truly soothing.
There was also a vegan menu, and the buffet was satisfying.
Most of the participants were from the mainland United States, and they were drinking and making a lot of noise, so even when I was trying to talk about history and the land, I couldn't hear it next to me. But overall, it was the best cruising experience. If you can't speak English, it might feel long and confusing as you won't know what's happening.
It was a bit disappointing that the sunset was partially hidden by clouds, but it was still a beautiful view. People who participated in the previous trip said they didn't encounter anything, so we were really lucky on our trip.
船はかなり揺れるので、最初は歩くのもやっとだけど、食事のときは沖で停泊するので落ち着いていただけます。しかも、この時、マンタが1匹と、イルカもたくさん集まってきました。きっと、歌声が好きだったんじゃないかと思いますお名前は覚えていないけど、最高に美しい声の歌手がずっと生歌を歌っていて、ハワイっぽい曲とか、本当に癒されました。
Veganメニューもあって、ビュッフェも満足でした。
参加者がほぼアメリカ本土から来た人たちばかりで、お酒飲んで大騒ぎするので、せっかく歴史や土地の話をしているのが隣に行っても聞こえないくらいだったけど、とにかく最高のcruisingでした。英語ができないと、何が起こってるか分らなく長く感じるかもしれないけど。
あとは、夕日が少し雲に隠れてしまったのが残念だけど、それでも美しい景色でした。前の便に参加した人たちは、何も出会えなかったそうで、私たちの便は本当に幸運に恵まれました。

On the day of the activity, the weather was nice, and we started a little earlier than planned at 7 AM. It was my first experience kayaking, but the guide was kind and taught us carefully, so I was able to paddle without any issues. The sunrise was beautiful, and it felt great. We also went to a cave, which was thrilling and a lot of fun. I would love to try it again if I have the chance.

I recommend wearing a long-sleeve rash guard. I wore a short-sleeve one and ended up getting sunburned.
I signed a waiver at the office and learned about paddling and how to stand up.
Since we were supposed to travel to the lesson location individually, I was thinking of calling a taxi, but a family from LA who was participating in the lesson with me offered me a ride. They seemed to like Japan, and the dad was wearing a T-shirt with Japanese writing on it. I was lucky!

My husband and I booked the Deluxe Circle Island Tour with Kailani Tours online @hawaiiactivities.com a few weeks before we left for our 20th anniversary on the Big Island. We loved our driver/tour guide Alana from the beginning...she was so personable, caring and knowledgeable (a former teacher). The Mercedes van was very comfortable for the 7 people on our tour and we were well provided for with plenty of water and snacks (even with my gluten free limitations). The tour was fabulous, from the Kona Joe coffee farm, lunch/tour at Volcanoes Natl Park, amazing Punalu'u Black Sand Beach, all the way to Rainbow Falls (yes, we saw a rainbow there) and beautiful Akaka Falls! It was great to see the highlights of the island at the beginning of our vacation to get the "lei" of the land so to speak, on the Big Island. This way the remainder of our trip could be spent leisurely exploring the Kohala Coast where we were staying. We highly recommend it to everyone!

It seems that the weather is usually calm, but there happened to be strong winds, and the boat was rocking quite a bit, which made me feel seasick (I'm prone to motion sickness, and I had taken medication for it...). Everyone else seemed to be fine, though.
The sea breeze was very refreshing, and once we got further out, we could see the beautiful view of Mauna Kea. At first, we could only see it from a distance, but just before we returned, a whale came close to us, and it was an emotional moment. A foreign staff member was sending some kind of signal underwater to attract the whales. It was a precious experience!
普段は穏やからしいですが、たまたま風が強く、結構船が揺れて酔ってしまいました(私は酔いやすい方で酔い止めは飲んでいたのですが…)。他は皆さん大丈夫そうでした。
とても気持ちいい海風で、沖へ出ると、マウナケアの山の景色がきれいに見れました。
初めは少し遠目にしか見れませんでしたが、帰り間際に至近距離でクジラが来てくれて、感動しました。外国人スタッフの方が、クジラを呼び寄せる信号?みたいなのを海中で送ってくれてました。貴重な体験でした!

We did the ATV/waterfall Tour as a 4 rider with my husband and my 4 and 8 year old daughters. We wanted excitement and fully expected that to come with some dirt/mud. It did not disappoint! And thankfully they have warm showers available to clean up after. You have options to ride on a quad solo or in a Razor 4x4 vehicle with 2 or 4 passengers. There had been much rain which made challenges for the trails, but the guides worked it out and made sure it was a good time. Andres and Rudy (sorry if I didn’t spell that right) were great. They were very helpful with the small kids making sure they were safe. Due to the extensive and prolonged rain we weren’t able to play in the waterfall, which was a disappointment since that was something we were really looking forward too, but understandable. I wish we would have also done the zip lines and giant swing. Both Looked awesome! Next time for sure!
Tip: wear closed toed water shoes so they can be easily washed off and dried.

It was a participation of two mothers and two two-year-old boys! Perhaps because both of them took motion sickness medication, they fell asleep and we couldn't see the good parts, but the mothers were able to catch glimpses even while being unable to move! The staff were also kind, bringing us drinks while we couldn't move.
Since it was early in the morning, we brought rice balls with us. The boat only had granola, so it was great to be able to eat the rice balls we brought during the waiting time. It gets really bumpy once we set off, so I think it's best to eat during the waiting time before boarding the boat.
母二人、二歳の男の子二人での参加でした!
二人とも酔い止めを飲んでいたせいか、寝てしまい、ちょうどいいところで見れませんでしたが、母達は動けない中でもちらっと見ることが出来ました!
スタッフの方も、動けない私たちに飲み物を持ってきてくれたりと親切でした。

The weather was clear and perfect, which lifted my spirits. About 15 boats participated, and I was the only one rowing solo. I managed to keep up on the way there, but got a bit tired on the return trip. Towards the end, I was moving slowly, and the instructor kindly pulled me along with a rope, for which I am grateful.
There were quite a few waves on the sea this time, but I was thrilled to enter a cave that I couldn't visit during the tour with Ariyoshi due to rough seas. On the way back, we went snorkeling in a cove, which was my first time in such deep water, and it was also an amazing experience.
Since we split into two groups, the first group probably had to wait quite a bit in this cove. Those who love snorkeling got to enjoy it for a longer time. During the waiting period, we were able to have some juice and snacks.
There were 4 to 5 instructors present, so those who had difficulties could safely return, and they guided us through the shallow areas, making it easy for older participants to join. The round trip was about 3 miles, taking just under an hour one way. It was a comfortable journey thanks to the nice weather.
快晴のいい天気で気分も最高でした。
15艇ほどが参加しましたが1人漕ぎは当方1艘で行きは付いて行きましたが、帰りは少し疲れたので最後にゆっくり進んでいるとインストラクターがロープで連結して引っ張ってくれました、感謝です。
今回も結構海面はうねりが有りましたが、有吉のツアーで海が荒れて行けなかった洞窟にも入れて感激しました。
帰りに入江でシュノーケリング、あんなに水深の有るところでは始めてでこれも感激。
2班に別れての行動だったので一班目はこの入江で結構またされたかな?シュノーケリングが好きな人は長く出来たけど。
待ち時間にはジュースやお菓子をいただけました。
インストラクターが4~5人付いていたので沈した人も安全に復帰でき、浅瀬も誘導してくれて、年配にも安心して参加できます。

Snorkeling in the crystal-clear, calm waters of Kealakekua Bay was enjoyable for the kids as well. We were lucky enough to encounter a pod of dolphins, and they were playing chase with our boat. It was adorable!
The second deck of the boat offers fantastic views, but it sways quite a bit more up there. During the one-hour ride to the snorkeling spot, even passengers who usually don’t get seasick were feeling pretty worn out.
Lunch was a simple barbecue on board. It had an American-style flavor, but if you embrace that, it can be enjoyable. However, I was surprised that the soft drinks were only carbonated and that what was labeled as tropical fruit juice was actually a tropical cocktail (an alcoholic drink).
This tour has a predominantly English-speaking, mostly white crowd, so if you're feeling a bit weary of tours filled with only Japanese people and want to experience being abroad, I recommend it. Additionally, the snorkeling spot has calm waves, making it a good option for first-time snorkelers and families with children aged preschool and up.
透明度抜群の穏やかなケアラケクア湾でシュノーケリングは子供も楽しめました。我々は運良くイルカの群れに遭遇し、我々が乗っている船とイルカの集団が追いかけっこしていました。可愛かった!
船の2階デッキは見晴らし抜群ですが、船は2階の方が相当揺れます。シュノーケリング場所までの片道1時間で、普段は全く船酔いしない同乗者さえグッタリする程でした。
昼食は船内で行われた簡単なバーベキュー。アメリカンな大味ですが、それも含め楽しんでしまえばこっちのもの。ただ、表記されていた事から想像していたのと実際には違ったのはソフトドリンクは炭酸だけである事、トロピカルフルーツジュースではなくトロピカルカクテル(アルコールドリンク)だった事です。
英語オンリーの白人多めのツアーですから日本人ばかりのツアーにちょっと辟易して、海外に来たぞという気分を味わいたい方にはオススメです。
あと、シュノーケル場所は波が穏やかなのでシュノーケリング初体験者や幼稚園児以上の年齢のお子様がいらっしゃるご家族にもいいかもしれません。

I stayed at the King Kamehameha Hotel and participated because I am learning hula. As others have mentioned, I don't think reconfirmation is necessary. When I arrived around 5 PM, there was a long line. Most of the people were foreigners. Arriving by canoe from the sea was something unique that other luau shows don't have, and it was very lovely. The food was quite tasty. The show was exciting and enjoyable. It would have been even better if there had been a modern hula show as well.

My wife and I participated together. It was a nice day with some waves, but both of us suffered from severe seasickness. While we were snorkeling in the water, it was fine, but once we got back on the boat, the seasickness returned, and we both struggled until we returned to port. That said, the crew's performance and the tour itself were completely fine. The low rating is simply due to our own physical condition. The meeting place was at the beautiful port in Kona, which was also convenient for sightseeing.

I participated with my 3-year-old and 6-year-old children. They provided a sheet with translations of the instructions in Japanese.
The ride to Kealakekua Bay was somewhat bumpy, and the kids sitting in the front seats on the first floor seemed a bit scared. However, once we arrived and saw a lot of fish in the calm sea, their fear seemed to disappear, and they actually enjoyed the return trip.
My 3-year-old usually dislikes getting water on his face, but when we borrowed a board to look underwater and showed him the fish points, he quietly enjoyed it. At first, he was scared to get on, but afterward, he wanted to ride again and had fun.
Breakfast and lunch were included (they served Costco muffins, which tasted just like the ones in Japan), and considering the prices in Hawaii, I think this is quite a good deal!
We visited various beaches on this trip, but my kids said this one was the most fun. Thank you to all the staff!
3歳と6歳の子供を連れて参加しました。注意事項などは日本語訳のシートを渡してくれます。
ケアラアクア湾に着くまではそれなりに揺れ、1階の前のシートに陣取った子供達は少し怖かった様ですが、現地について穏やかな海で沢山のお魚を見るとその恐怖も吹き飛んだのか帰りは寧ろ楽しんでいました。
3歳の子は水が顔にかかるのも嫌なくらいなのですが、水中が覗けるボードを借り、お魚ポイントを見せてあげると、黙って楽しんでいました。
最初乗るときは怖がってましたが、その後は自ら乗りたい!と楽しんでました。
朝食も昼食もついて(コストコのマフィンとかですが、日本のそれと変わらずの無難な味)ハワイの物価を考えるとこの値段はかなりお得だと思います!
今回の旅で色々なビーチに行きましたが、子供もここが1番楽しかったと言ってました。
スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました!

Sorry to hear that you found our tour disappointing. The tour is one hour from when you get on to when you get off, that does mean that it is about 50 min of actual tour time, we appreciate the insight, maybe we can explore making the tour last a bit longer.
The coral in Hawaii is naturally more neutral in color than other places in the world. However, Kona has amazingly clear waters and colorful fish. Many fish are relatively small so they can live on the reef and fit in the cracks and crevices of the coral. We do not guarantee shark and ray sightings. Though, sometimes we see large interesting creatures like that. We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed in what Kona's reef has to offer. Most guests express that they find the natural coral ecosystem to be amazing.
Many passengers are interested in the history of the bay including some of the historic buildings. The time when we are heading back and have a good view of the buildings is the perfect time to discuss it.
