Umauma Falls Hilo Zipline Tours on the Big Island - 9 Lines with Optional Waterfall Swim & Lunch

Awesome experience, great crew!

Reviewed by: Kevin

We went to Umauma Falls Zipline last week and had a blast! Although it nearly rained the entire time, the crew were nothing but the best! Always laughing, making us laugh, and allowing us enjoy the amazing beauty of the falls. You have to do the 9-line to get the best experience! Definitely recommend for anyone on the Hilo side!

I couldn't get close enough with the rental car.

It was cold up there, so I recommend bringing a raincoat.

Since my accommodation was in Kailua-Kona, I had to make my way to the meeting point on foot. However, the public parking was difficult to find, which made me quite anxious, so it's necessary to check in advance. The tour exceeded my expectations as I was able to see whales up close, which was fantastic. However, the boat does rock quite a bit, so I think those who are prone to seasickness should prepare accordingly.

ケアウホウ湾シーカヤック＆シュノーケルツアー　海中洞窟探検プランあり　＜早朝・午前／日本語ガイド＞by キング・カヤック・ハワイ

First kayaking experience♪ 初カヤック体験♪

Reviewed by: Nonnko

I made a reservation while I was in Japan, but since I had planned to participate alone in the early morning, the reservation couldn't be confirmed unless there were at least two people. So, I gave up on the early morning option and changed to a lunchtime slot, which was immediately confirmed.
(My husband was hesitant since he isn't very good at swimming) (laughs)
It took about 20 minutes by car from the Kamehameha Hotel where we were staying.
The guide who was waiting for us spoke Japanese fluently, which was a relief for my husband and me since we don't speak much English.
First, we received a lecture on how to ride a sea kayak on land, and then we boarded!
They provided solid support while we got in, and once we started paddling, one of the guides in a single kayak went ahead and checked for safety, so we felt very secure.
As we paddled hard, we realized we had made it out to the open sea, and taking breaks on the kayak was very easy.
There was a bottle of mineral water for each of us, which helped us stay hydrated under the shining sun.
Even though it was November, being out on the open sea with no shade means sunscreen and hats are essential. I wore a hat and a parka, so my shoulders and face were fine, but my lower legs, which I thought I had applied sunscreen on, turned a bit red and got sunburned (sweat). Even in November, don't underestimate the sun on the Big Island! (^◇^;)

After enjoying kayaking for a while, we returned to the starting point to enjoy snorkeling.
Originally, we could have gotten off the kayak and snorkeled further out, but since my husband doesn't swim well, we returned to the departure dock and snorkeled in the bay.
My husband stayed in his life jacket, but the guide quickly noticed his anxiety and lent him a kickboard, which was very thoughtful and made us happy.
I grew up by the sea, so snorkeling is second nature to me. I was really thrilled to be able to take off my life jacket and dive freely!
Actually, during a previous snorkeling tour in Okinawa, I was told not to take off the life jacket, so I was very dissatisfied as I could only put my face in the water.
Being able to dive to the bottom of the bay and swim with the fish was truly enjoyable!
However, I had bought a waterproof case for my smartphone to take pictures of the fish while diving, but for some reason, I couldn't take good photos, which was disappointing. The guide ended up sending me a ton of photos taken underwater!
The photos I attached were all taken by the guide's camera, so even those without a camera can have wonderful memories captured and sent to them!

I was told that the morning tour encountered a pod of dolphins, but I'll save that for next time (laughs).
I don't know if I'll be able to go back to the Big Island (laughs), but I truly had a wonderful time. Thank you very much!

日本に居る時に予約したのですが　早朝に私一人で参加という形態にしていたところ、2名以上からでなければ予約が成立しなかったので　早朝は諦めて主人も巻き込んでお昼の便に変更したところ　即！予約確定しました。
（主人は　あまり泳ぎが得意ではないので二の足を踏んでいたんです）(笑)
泊まっていたカメハメハホテルからは車で20分程度で着きました。
待っていてくださったガイドさんは　とても日本語が流暢で　あまり英語が喋れない私たち夫婦はホッとしました。
まずは　陸上でシーカヤックの乗り方をレクチャーして頂き、いざ！！乗船♪
乗り込む時もしっかりサポートしてくださり　漕ぎ出してからはガイドさんの一人乗りカヤックが　前になり横になって安全を確認してくださいますのでとても安心して乗っていることが出来ました。
一生懸命漕いでるうちに　気が付いたら沖の方まで出ることが出来、カヤックの上での休憩の仕方もとっても楽でした。
ミネラルウォーターも一人一本用意があって　燦燦と輝く太陽の元でのどを潤すことが出来ました。
11月とはいえ　遮るものがない海の上ですから日焼け止めクリームや帽子などは必須です。帽子とパーカーを着てたので肩と顔は大丈夫でしたが　日焼け止めを塗ったはずの膝から下は　ちょっと赤くなって日焼けしちゃいました（汗）11月とはいえハワイ島の太陽を侮るなかれ！！でした（^◇^;）

暫くカヤックを楽しんだ後、出発した場所まで戻ってシュノーケリングを楽しみました。
本来なら　沖の方でカヤックから降りてシュノーケリングも出来るということだったのですが　あまり泳げない主人のために出発した船着き場の方に戻って湾の中でのシュノーケリングとなったわけです。
っで、主人はライフジャケットのままでしたが　それでも不安だったのをガイドさんがすぐに気が付いてビート板を貸してくださって　その心遣いがとても嬉しかったです。
私は　海育ちなのでシュノーケリングはお手の物です。フィンを付け、ライフジャケットを脱ぎ捨てて　好きなように潜らせて貰えたのが本当に嬉しかった！！
実は以前、沖縄でシュノーケリングのツアーに行った時は　ライフジャケットは脱がないようにと言われていたので　潜るというよりも顔を付けるだけでとても不満だったのです。
思う存分　湾の中で海の底まで潜って魚たちと泳げたのは本当に楽しかったです♪
ただ、潜って魚の撮影をするつもりで　スマホの防水ケースを購入して持って行ったのですが　何故かうまく撮影出来ずにガッカリしていたら　ガイドさんが海の中の写真まで大量に送って下さいました！
貼らせていただいた写真は、全てガイドさんのカメラで撮影して送って下さったものですので　カメラをお持ちではない人も素敵な思い出をガイドさんが撮って送って下さいますよ♪

朝のツアーではイルカの群れと出会えたよって教えていただきましたが　まぁそれは次回までのお預けとしておきます(笑)
またハワイ島に行けるかどうかは判りませんが(笑)
本当に気持ちの良い時間を過ごさせていただきました。ありがとうございました！

My husband and I participated together. Although we didn't encounter the bridging we were expecting (it seems the encounter rate is not very high), we did see a mother and calf whale! (I wonder if they are more commonly seen around Maui??)

The transportation was smooth, and we were able to experience an activity early in the morning, which allowed us to make the most of the rest of the day. I think it was a great schedule. Everyone on board was calling out, "Which direction are they?" as we spotted the whales, enjoying the spouts and tail slaps. The tour captain explained the whales' ecology (in English) and answered various questions from the passengers, which was very educational. I would love to participate again someday and hopefully see the bridging!

夫と二人で参加しました。期待していたブリッジングには遭遇できませんでしたが（ただ遭遇率はあまり高くないとのこと）、親子クジラに出会えました！（マウイ島のほうがみられるんでしょうか？？）

For our first dinner in Hawaii. 初ハワイ初日の晩餐に。

Reviewed by: himeken

This was our first trip to Hawaii with my husband and his parents. We made a reservation here to experience the Hawaiian atmosphere on our first day. It's a buffet style, and it gets a bit crowded at first, but it's manageable after a short wait. The ahi poke was delicious. There are two drink stations: one at the back of the buffet line and another to the right of the stage. If you go further back from the drink counter on the right side of the stage around sunset, you can see a wonderful sunset. (There are also ashtrays in that area.) Overall, I thought it was a bit pricey, so I gave it three stars. I felt it would cost around 10,000 yen based on my experience in Japan.

夫と夫の両親4人での初ハワイ。
初日にハワイらしさを味わおうとこちらを予約しました。
ブッフェ形式で、はじめは多少混みますが少し待てば大丈夫。
アヒポケが美味しかったです。
飲み物はブッフェ台の並び奥とステージに向かって右側と２箇所にありますが、夕陽が沈む頃にステージ右の飲み物カウンターの前をさらに奥に進むと素晴らしい夕陽が見られます。（そしてその辺りに灰皿もあります。）
全体的には少々お高いかな？と思ったので★３つ。

Family-Friendly Kohala & Waikoloa Whale Watching and Sailing Tour - Ocean Sports [Dec - Mar]

Absolutely worth the price, good for all ages!

Reviewed by: Alyssa Romeo

Obviously the tour does not summon the whales at their leisure, but we saw honestly 10+ whales (maybe some of the same ones) over a period of an hour and a half and it was incredible. I have so many photos that I can’t wait to post on social. Regardless of actually seeing the whales, the tour was not only educational but it was a smooth ride, very fun and friendly and we even used a hydro microphone that picked up the whales talking to eachother around us. It was nothing I’ve ever heard before, they are so loud!! I would recommend the early trip for any older folks (we took my grandma who is 78) and/or any easily motion sick people. Overall completely worth the price and waking up “early” on vacation.

Since it was a last-minute booking, I couldn't reconfirm until the day before, but I was able to participate without any issues. It takes about 40-50 minutes to get from Keauhou to Kealakekua Bay. During that time, they distribute fins and masks. Many people were snorkeling while wearing floaties or floats (available for rent). Since I had a 4-year-old and an 8-year-old with me, we were able to borrow a large boogie board (with a window to see underwater). It was a bit chilly because the sun was behind the clouds, so we got back on the boat partway through, but we enjoyed watching foreign guests having fun on the slide until the end. On the way there, pretzels and juice were served in the galley on the first floor, and on the way back, fruit was added. The crew also came up to the second floor to distribute snacks. Even though our English wasn't great, the crew made an effort to communicate with us.

This was THE COOLEST snorkel excursion. First they picked us up from our hotel, RAD. They have a marine biologist on board that taught us a lot about the creatures we'd be seeing and the ecosystem which was fascinating. The area they took us to was a gorgeous reef and we saw some amazing fish and sea creatures. The marine biologist was even diving for starfish that he showed everyone and let us pet while we were in the water. We got a good hour and a half of snorkeling and then it was time for a tasty sandwich bar lunch. On the way back was, yes what you've all been waiting for, an OPEN BAR. Those were the best drinks I got on the island. It was awesome, big shout out to the amazing crew.

While watching a mysterious safety video during check-in, my husband and I, along with our children, were genuinely worried that we might have signed up for a crazy tour. However, when the crew realized we were Japanese, they used simple Japanese phrases (like "stand," "sit," "hold on here," etc.), which made it enjoyable for us to participate.

When taking off, we sat on the deck and let ourselves go. Upon returning, we went with the flow and stood up on the deck at the right moment. The world over 100 meters above the sea was truly serene, and we were just amazed by the magnificent nature of Hawaii Island and the vast ocean.

When returning, it's fine if you're not in a swimsuit as long as you don't splash down, but if you're someone who might, please come in a swimsuit.

チェックインの際に見せられた，謎の安全のためのビデオを見ながら，私たち夫婦も，子どもたちも，マジでヤバいツアーに参加しちゃったんじゃないかとビビりながら参加しましたが，

I participated on January 2, 2019. I was really worried about what would happen if we capsized, but that never happened until the end (we participated as a 44-year-old father, 42-year-old mother, 14-year-old eldest son, and 12-year-old second son). Along the way, we were able to see dolphins up close. Our guide, Noni, spoke perfect Japanese, which made it easy for my middle school children to participate comfortably.

However, there was one point. I thought it might be better to have gloves for paddling, as it would prevent pain at the base of both thumbs. (My second-year middle school child said their thumb was hurting from the pressure.) I think it's best to wear swimsuits in advance and keep personal belongings to a minimum (water is provided during the tour, and there’s no time to apply sunscreen. If you have already settled payments with a credit card in advance, a tip for the guide should be sufficient).

ケアウホウ湾　シーカヤック＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞by オーシャンサファリ・カヤック

Sea kayaking and snorkeling シーカヤックとシュノーケリング

Reviewed by: hashnao

After paddling for about 30 minutes by sea kayak to the destination's shallow area, we entered the sea directly from the kayak to go snorkeling. The underwater visibility is very clear, and there are a decent variety and quantity of fish, so those who want to enjoy both kayaking and snorkeling should be satisfied. By the way, snorkeling is optional, and about 20% of participants did not go snorkeling. Since we paddle the kayak both ways, we don't progress while listening to the guide's explanations, so if you want to hear the guide's insights, it might be a good idea to actively engage in conversation.

The sea cave is not a long cave that extends for dozens of meters; it's about 3 to 5 meters in total length. When you enter the cave with the kayak, you get swept away more quickly by the waves when they return, so it's more about enjoying that experience. There is also a point where you can jump into the sea from a cliff about 5 meters high, so you can optionally jump from the cliff into the sea.

Before getting on the kayak, there is a briefing where they explain how to paddle. The explanation is all in English, but if you have experience paddling a boat, you should be able to understand the basic instructions in English. Additionally, there was one guide who could explain using very simple Japanese words necessary for kayaking (like left, right, stop, etc.).

Since everyone participating this time had kayaking experience, the pace of paddling was quite fast, but I believe the guide adjusts the pace based on the participants' skills and how many times they have kayaked before. Especially for those from Western countries, they tend to have good stamina, so if you're not confident in your physical strength, I recommend mentioning that during the briefing. During the briefing, you will be asked if you need a life jacket for kayaking. Since you will also use a life jacket while snorkeling, it's best to communicate your need for one during the briefing.

シーカヤックで片道30分ほど目的地の浅瀬に向かった後、海上で直接カヤックから海に入って、シュノーケリングをします。海中の透明度は非常にクリアで、魚の種類と量もそれなりにいるので、カヤックとシュノーケリングを同時に楽しみたい方は満足できるはずです。ちなみにシュノーケリングは任意で、参加した方の2割はシュノーケリングをしていませんでした。行きと帰りはカヤックを漕ぐので、ガイドの説明を横で聞きながら進むというわけではなく、ガイドから説明を聞きたい場合は積極的に話しかけたほうがいいかもしれません。海中洞窟（シーケーブ）は数十メートルも続くような洞窟ではなく、全長3~5m程度で、そこにカヤックで入ると波が戻る際に波の力でより早く流されるので、それを楽しむ程度です。また高さ5m程度の崖から海に飛び込むポイントもあるので、任意で崖から海に飛び込むことができます。
カヤックに乗る前にブリーフィングがありカヤックの漕ぎ方について説明があります。説明は全て英語ですが、ボートを漕いだことがある方なら基本的な説明は英語でも理解できると思います。また、カヤックの動作に必要なごくごく簡単な日本語の単語(左右、止まるなど)で説明することができるガイドが1人いました。
今回参加した全員がカヤックの経験者だったため、カヤックを漕ぐペースはかなり早めでしたが、ガイドが参加者のスキルやカヤックに乗ったことがある回数によってペースを合わせると思います。特に欧米の方は体力があるので、体力に自信がない方は、ブリーフィングの際にその旨を伝える事をお勧めします。ブリーフィングでカヤックに乗る際、ライフジャケットが必要か聞かれます。シュノーケリングをする際もライフジャケットを利用するので、シュノーケリングでライフジャケットが必要な方はブリーフィングの際に伝えた方がよいと思います。

At the scheduled time, a small bus came to pick us up at the hotel front. We were dropped off near the sea close to Waikoloa and were told, "Come back here when you're done. Also, please fill out the consent form over there before boarding the boat." We headed towards a beach house on the sand. After completing the electronic signature on a device that looked like a tablet, we waited for about 10 minutes until a small boat arrived, and we boarded it. We transferred from the small boat to a larger boat just before going out to sea. There were only two of us from Japan participating.

【Whale Watching Experience】
Seating on the boat was free. Since it was an English tour, I couldn't understand what was being said at all (laughs). The boat was also swaying, so when standing up to take pictures of the whales, everyone stood, so please make sure to hold onto the ropes or handrails tightly. Although it was far away, we were able to see the whales spouting water about 4 to 5 times and also witnessed a low jump of a whale arching its back. It was a precious experience where I could feel the great nature of Hawaii Island. The crew was a kind young man. He said, "You can almost see whales every day! Dolphins are occasional. There are more in Kona than here." I was shown a picture of the boat getting very close to a whale by the crew, and I was amazed at how impressive it was. Since it depends on luck whether you see whales or not, I thought, "There are lucky days like this." By the way, the two of us did not get seasick.

【After Whale Watching】
Around 9:30, we got off the boat and transferred to a small boat to return to the beach. We boarded the bus we took on the way there and safely arrived back at the hotel front, marking the end of the tour.

Since it was my first experience with whale watching, I’m glad I participated! While waiting for the whales, I also enjoyed cruising. I could see the mountains like Mauna Kea in the distance and the beautiful coastline, making for a graceful time.

日常会話レベル以下の英語力でしたが、特に問題なく楽しむことができました。

【船に乗るまで】
時間になったらホテルのフロントまで小型バスが迎えに来てくれました。
ワイコロアから程近い海に降ろされ「終わったらここに戻ってきてね。それと船に乗る前に同意書は向こうで書いてね。」と言われ、砂浜にある海の家(?)に向かいます。タブレットのような機械で電子サインを済ませ10分ほど待つと小さな船が来たので乗りました。
沖より少し手前で小さな船から大きな船に移ります。
日本人参加者は私達2人だけでした。

【ホエールウォッチング体験】
船の席は自由です。英語ツアーなので私は何を言っているかはちんぷんかんぷんでした（笑）。
また船は揺れるので立ち上がってクジラの写真を撮る際は、皆立つのでしっかりロープや手すりにつかまってください。
遠かったですが4〜5回クジラの潮吹きを見ることができ、クジラの反り返りの低いジャンプも見ることができました。ハワイ島の大自然を感じられた瞬間で貴重な体験でした。
クルーも親切なお兄ちゃんでした。「クジラは毎日ほぼ見れるよ！イルカはたまに。ここよりもコナの方がいるよ。」とのこと。クルーのお兄ちゃんに船でクジラに大接近してる画像を見せてもらい、大迫力すぎて驚きました。自然相手なのでクジラに会えるor会えないは運ですが、こういうラッキーな日もあるんだなぁと思いました。ちなみに、私達2人は船酔いせずに済みました。

【ホエールウォッチングを終えて】
9:30頃船から降りて、また小さい船に移動し砂浜へ戻ります。行きに乗ったバスに乗り込み、無事にホテルのフロントに到着し無事にツアー終了となりました☆

ホエールウォッチングは初めての経験だったので、参加してよかったです！またクジラを待ってる間はクルージングとして楽しみましたよ。遠くの方にマウナケア等の山が見えて美しい海岸も見ることができ優雅な時間でした。

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ ＜12～3月／午前／軽食付き／ワイコロアまたはカワイハエ港発＞

Calm waves 波穏やか

Reviewed by: maichap

As we slowly glided over the mirror-like surface of the sea, we witnessed the spouting of whales and their diving. On the way back, we were treated to a pod of dolphins. It was a moving experience to realize that life can offer such moments!

鏡のような海面をゆっくり走ると、クジラの潮吹き、ダイビングを見学。帰り道はイルカの群生というおまけ付き。人生にこんな時間があるのだと、感動！

Lovely experience

Reviewed by: Erica

Super friendly staff and we had a wonderful time! Would recommend to anyone and everyone and would definitely go back when I have the chance! Despite the fact that it was raining the day we went (which actually made the experience more exhilarating, as the rain made us go even faster than normal) , the views were still incredible. The staff was patient and their energy made the experience more fun for everyone. By the end of the zipline I was ready to do it all over again!
