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!

The price was high, but it was a worthwhile experience. The meeting point at the Marriott Hotel is hard to find, so it's better to ask the Japanese-speaking staff at the front desk. The restroom is shown to you before boarding.

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。

During my first visit to the Big Island, I participated in two sightseeing tours and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the island. While searching for memorable activities, I discovered this sea kayaking tour. Indeed, the views from the water are something you can't fully appreciate without experiencing them firsthand. While on the water, I was welcomed by a pod of dolphins, which was a memorable experience. The photos taken during the tour also serve as wonderful memories.
今回、初訪問のビッグアイランドで、2つの観光ツアーに参加して、一通り島内観光を満喫したので、何か思い出に残るアクティビティを探していたところ、このシーカヤック ツアーを発見しました。やはり、陸上からだけではなく、海の上から眺める景色は、体験してみないとわからないものです。海上では、イルカの群れの歓迎を受けることが出来て、思い出深い経験でした。撮影していただいたツアー中の写真も、良い思い出として残っています。

I had gone kayaking once on a lake, but it was my first time in the ocean, so I was a bit worried. However, with the excellent guidance from Kevin and Noni, I was able to paddle smoothly without veering off course, and getting back into the kayak from the ocean was also seamless. I was thrilled to successfully navigate through the underwater cave as well. While enjoying the leisurely kayaking and snorkeling, with explanations about the surrounding scenery, I didn't even end up with sore muscles. It was the best experience!
湖で1回カヤックをしたことがありましたが、海では初めてで少し心配でした。でもKevinさんとノニさんの指導が良く、曲がらずに楽に漕げたし、海からカヤックに上がるのもスムーズに出来、海中洞窟からバックするのもうまく出来て、うれしかった。周りの景色の説明を受けながら、のんびりカヤックとシュノーケルが出来て、筋肉痛にもならずに、最高でした。

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.

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!

The tour was nice and Big Island is beautiful, but our tour guide gave an extensive history of Big Island which felt removed and disconnected from what we were seeing. The guide was asked multiple times from other people on the tour about things they had noticed during the tour but the guide was stuck on the historical narrative and refused to talk about "politics", yet the questions being asked were quite simple and relevant to what we were seeing. He was very knowledgeable but it made for a very tiring and boring ride. It would be great if he could break up the historical narrative with some more present-day information about Big Island.

On the third day of my stay at Sheraton Kona Resort, I signed up for the morning kayak experience! The session was originally scheduled for 9 AM, but it was changed to 7 AM due to the wave conditions, so I walked a few minutes to the meeting point. It was just the two of us Japanese guests, and our guide Noni was very kind and thorough in his instructions, and off we went!
You can put your belongings in a waterproof bag that you can borrow, but I wouldn't recommend bringing too much. Paddling the canoe while basking in the morning sun is wonderful, but sunglasses and a hat are essential due to the strong sunlight.
Paddling a considerable distance uses a lot of energy, but the wide, beautiful ocean and the refreshing breeze of nature without any noise are very pleasant. Even those who can't swim can float around with a life jacket while snorkeling, and there are lots of cute black and yellow fish, which is very soothing.
I panicked for a moment when I looked up and couldn't see the canoe, so it's important to be careful not to get too absorbed (laughs). Along the way, Noni shared some pineapple and chocolate muffins with us. Food tastes even better when eaten on the water.
Finally, Noni had a wonderful system where he emailed us various photos he had taken during the tour. I highly recommend this tour!
シェラトンコナリゾートで滞在して3日目にカヤック体験午前の部に参加申し込みしました!

持ち物はお借りした防水バックに入れられますが、あまり多くは持ち込めないかと…。朝日を浴びながらカヌーを漕いで日差しが強いのでサングラスと帽子は必須。
結構な距離を漕いで体力使いますが、広くて綺麗な海と騒音の無い大自然の風が心地よい。
シュノーケルもライフジャケットを着てるので泳げない人でもプカプカ浮きながら黒や黄色の可愛い魚が沢山いて、これまた癒されます。
顔を上げたときにカヌーが見当たらなくて一瞬焦り、夢中になりすぎるのも要注意(笑)
途中、ノニさんがパイナップルとチョコマフィンのお裾分け。海の上で食べるものは、より美味しく感じます。

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.

I participated in a dolphin tour with a friend for the first time. I have joined one in Oahu before, but the water here was even clearer than in Oahu! We saw dolphins multiple times! My friend looked tired from desperately chasing after the dolphins, but they had a great time. The port was very close to the hotel we were staying at, so it was easy to get there and we were able to make good use of our time.
イルカツアー初めての友達と参加しました。わたしはオアフ島でも参加したことがありますが、オアフよりさらに水がクリア! イルカも何度も見れました! 必死にイルカを追っていくので友達は疲れた様子でしたが、とても楽しんでいました。
泊まっていたホテルからすぐの港だったので移動に手間がかからず時間をうまく使えました

My family and I had a great morning! We kayaked, snorkeled, and cliff jumped! The guides were super encouraging, fun and knowledgeable. I only wish I had a water proof case for my phone because now I have no pictures of our awesome time! (They sell cases at the ABC stores)

I was able to meet a lot of dolphins and swim quite close to them! The snorkeling spot with the coral is beautiful, although there are other seas that are even prettier, but I got to see various kinds of fish, which was lovely.
However, since everything is in English, you need to have a certain level of understanding; otherwise, you might not grasp the safety instructions, which could put the dolphins at risk or endanger yourself, so be careful!
I also got to go on other sightseeing tours!
たくさんのイルカ達に会えて結構近くで一緒に泳ぐ事が出来ました!サンゴのシュノーケルの場所は、ここより綺麗な他の海もあるけど、でもいろんな種類のお魚達に会えてキレイでした。
ただ、本当英語なのである程度理解できないと注意事項が理解できないのでイルカを危険にさらしたり、自分が危険になったりするので要注意です!
ほかにも観光に連れてってもらえましたよー!
