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

I participated in a morning sea kayaking tour. 早朝シーカヤックツアーに参加しました

Reviewed by: まゆこ

I signed up for an early morning tour thinking I could make the most of my day. Since the hotel I stayed at was the Sheraton, Keauhou Bay was within walking distance. I later thought I might not have needed to bring a change of clothes since I returned after kayaking and swimming.

For the tour itself, there was one guide for the two of us. Since it was in Japanese, I felt the guidance was just right—polite but not overly strict.

Honestly, I didn't have the luxury of taking photos myself, so it was really helpful that the guide took pictures and provided us with the data.

I had a very enjoyable and refreshing time from the morning. Thank you very much.

一日を有効に使えるかと思い、早朝のツアーに申し込みました。
宿泊したホテルがシェラトンだったため、ケアウホウ湾は歩いて行ける距離、カヤックに乗って泳いだ格好で帰ったので着替えは持って行く必要なかったかも、と後で思いました。

ツアー自体は私達二人に対してガイドさん一人。
日本語だったこともあり、丁寧に、しかし口うるさくない程度に丁度いい指導だったと思いました。

正直自分で写真を撮る余裕なんてなかったので、写真を撮って、データを頂けたのが本当に助かりました。

朝からとても楽しく爽やかな時間を過ごしました。
ありがとうございました。

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

Great family tour

Reviewed by: Breanne

We went on the kayak tour to a sea cave on June 27th. There were two adult's and 2 kids in our group. Overall they took out 20 people, so 10 double boats, with 2 guides. Happy & Ben were our tour guides and each took turns along the route to tell us interesting facts about the area. We had drinks and snacks at the area for cliff jumping. My only let down was there was no mention of sea caves nor did we go in one which I was really looking forward to since it was on the description and why I chose this one. However overall it was a great experience and the guides were very friendly and fun! The kids really enjoyed it and the snorkel time,

This was a great tour for our first full day on the island. Kala , our guide, was a world of information about all things Hawaiian! He was so excited to show us turtles on the black sand beach, lava at the volcano,and beautiful Waipio Valley. He gave us great ideas on where the best burgers and the most delicious malasadas on the island where...and yes we went back to try them ! It was a long day, but as others had commented before me, it flew by!

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

First class food and entertainment

Reviewed by: Tim and Pam

My wife and I went on the Captain Cook dinner cruise last week, and it was much better than either of us expected. The musical entertainment was first class, and we were able to watch spinner dolphins and short-finned pilot whales. It was hard to hear the narration of the historical sites, but that was probably our fault for sitting on the other side of the boat. We would definitely do this again if we ever visit Kona in the future.

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

More kayaking expected

Reviewed by: Arlene

Our guides were very nice, funny and competent but we had no idea we were kayaking 3 miles total, which took up about 45 minutes each way. The area at which we snorkeled was "OK" - no brilliantly colored coral and saw only a few fish. We did some cliff jumping which was nice. We did not see any caves and nobody explained why. The kayak trip back was slightly difficult and very choppy due to all the boaters. Be aware that you spend much more time kayaking than you do snorkeling and it is physically demanding - one mother-daughter (adult daughter) couple had to be towed back. It was a good experience but wouldn't do it again.

Deluxe Captain Cook Snorkeling Tour at Kealakekua Bay - Fair Wind Cruises

Less about snorkelling, more about water slide on boat

Reviewed by: Sucheta

The main focus of this tour was on the water slide and jumps on the boat. A good activity for families with young children. The snorkelling was average, as was the snorkelling gear provided. Most people snorkelled only for about 20 minutes before getting back to the boat. We saw a lot of dolphins on the way back though, which was excellent. Overall, a good activity got families. As a young couple, we felt it was a bit too noisy for us.

Worth the workout!

Reviewed by: Elise Wilson

This was a really unique way to see the island, and my family and I had a blast! The snorkeling quality and difficulty of kayaking obviously vary with weather, but the beautiful views are amazing no matter what! The seas were pretty rough the day we went out, so we couldn't spend as much time in the cave, but the guides were really helpful, and we were still able to see plenty of fish, eels, and urchins despite the weather. The guides also pointed out some historical sites and things we never would have noticed alone. Excellent day trip!

Sacred Pu’uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park & Kona Farms Guided Tour

Not much to this tour

Reviewed by: Elise Wilson

There isn't much to this tour that you couldn't do on your own. Both of the national parks were interesting, but my family and I would have loved to have more time to take them in. The bee farm was also cool - their employees were really enthusiastic and we enjoyed tasting all of the honey. However, the coffee tour was given by a coffee farm employee who seemed to not know much of what she was talking about. Our tour guide from the tour company was honestly the highlight of the tour - he was really knowledgeable and funny, and he definitely made the tour as fun as it could possibly be. However, it felt like he didn't have that much to work with.

4.5-Hour Deluxe Kona Snorkel Tour & Dolphin Watch with Lunch - Body Glove Cruise

Wonderful Experience Ever!

Reviewed by: Chang Kim

It was the most wonderful experience with my family. We went the morning program and the weather was great (not too sunny but not too cloudy). The staff crews and captain are wonderful to serve every single passenger. Ola, one of staff remembers our names and keep checking us often. Dolphins were waiting for our Body Grove boat and played with our boat both ways from/to the spot. The snorkeling was beautiful ever and the meals were also wonderful. My wife had a motion sickness and hard time to survive but all other four family members had life-long unforgettable memory. If you have motion sickness, better to prepare some medicine to prevent it. My kids enjoyed the high jumps. There are some waves. Thanks to Captain and all crews.

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＞

Translation is not available because the original text is unclear. 若返って～✴

Reviewed by: きいろ

We arrived at the marina early, applied sunscreen thoroughly, and felt the excitement build. The captain was cheerful, and out of the 15 people on board, there were four of us: my husband, our friends, and me. We held on tightly to the ropes as we set off, experiencing thrilling rafting while being tossed about by the rough waves. There were many young couples around us, but even those of us in our sixties, and even older, had a great time. The snorkeling spot we reached was absolutely wonderful, and along the way, dolphins jumped around and followed the boat, which was quite entertaining. The pineapple and orange we had on the boat were incredibly sweet and unforgettable. On the way back, the captain explained about the lava caves and fault lines, and we were able to enter narrow areas that regular boats can't access, enjoying some rare sights.

マリーナ迄早めにつき、日焼け止めローションを念入りに塗り、緊張感高まる。キャプテンは陽気な方で、15人中日本人は私達夫婦と友達夫婦の4人。しっかりとロープにつかまり出発、荒波に身を投げ出されそうになりながらスリル満点のラフティング。周りは若いカップルが多かったのですが我々アラカンどころか古希組も十分に楽しめました。着いたスノーケルの場所もとても素晴らしかったし、とちゅうでイルカがあちこちでジャンプしてボートについてきておもしろかった。ボートでいただいたパイナップルとオレンジの甘かった事、忘れられない美味しさです。帰り道溶岩の洞窟や、断層などの説明をしてくれたり、普通の船では行かれない狭い所にも入って行けて珍しい気色も堪能できました。

It was incredibly impressive and very satisfying. 大迫力で大満足

Reviewed by: KAZUKI

I chose the exclusive VIP seating because I wanted a good spot. Honestly, I would have preferred to sit facing the stage, but it can't be helped due to the seating arrangement. It's a good idea to line up early!

The seating is at a long table, so you'll be sharing with others. I recommend sitting next to someone rather than across from them.

The buffet offers a wide selection, and it's delicious. The table attendant was a nice guy who was very attentive, which made for an even more enjoyable time.

The hula and luau show is quite long, and I think you'll be satisfied with it! I believe it's something you should experience at least once.

いい席で見たくてexclusive vipにしました。正直正面がよかったですが、並び順なので仕方ないですね。早めに並ぶといいですよ！
席は長テーブルなので相席になります。向かい合わせより、隣りがオススメ。
ビュッフェはたくさんの中から選べ、また美味しいです。テーブル担当のおじさんがいい人でよく気にしてくれてさらに楽しいひと時になりました。
フラ&ルアウのshowは、割と長くて満足できると思いますよ！一回は体験してみるべきだと思います♪

It was great, but I started to feel sleepy halfway through... 最高でしたが...途中から眠気が...

Reviewed by: だまさ

The buffet was abundant with all-you-can-drink options, and the meat dishes were particularly delicious (though the seasoning was a bit strong). I spent a leisurely time watching the sunset, and although there were hardly any Japanese people around, it felt like a family atmosphere, as mentioned in someone else's experience. I chatted a bit with the couples and families nearby, but I think it would have been an even better dinner if I had stronger English skills! However, since the time was long, I found myself battling sleepiness in the second half...

豊富なビュッフェに飲み放題、特に肉類は美味しかったです(味付け濃いめでしたが)。
サンセットを見ながら、ゆっくり過ごし、日本人はほとんどいませんでしたが、どなたかの体験談にもあったように周りの席とは家族のような感じでした。
周りの夫妻や家族と少し会話しましたが、自分に英語力があればもっといいディナーになっていたとおもいます！
ただ時間が長いので後半は睡魔との戦いでした...

King Kayak Hawaii - Keauhou Bay Kayaking & Snorkeling Tour

Sea Kayaking Adventure

Reviewed by: Caleb B

Took our family on this excursion and had a great time. Kevin was very knowledgeable about the area and gave great directions for sea kayaking. Our family likes the water but we had never sea kayaked before. The sea cave was my favorite and the kids loved the snorkeling. The optional cliff jump was a blast for me (43) and Kevin gave great directions to keep feet together, arms at side, and stay vertical. Kids may have a hard time following the directions as instinct is to flail arms when falling and if they do then it will be unpleasant when they hit the water. The snacks Kevin brought were refreshing after our adventure. We had a great time and would do it again.

Reviewed by: ジュリアン

I was worried about the weather, but by the time we took off, it was partly sunny and cloudy. The first orientation was in fast-paced English, which made it difficult to keep up, but I managed to understand the main points. We progressed along the coastline through clouds and occasionally fog. I was surprised and excited to see lava peeking through cracks in the rocks. From the crater, I could see the lava glowing red, and there was steam as well. The pilot made several turns to give us a better view. I understood the English fairly well. I’m not sure if it would have been better if the weather had been nice, but it seemed that the tour was canceled in the morning due to bad weather, so it was lucky for those of us who had reservations. It was a four-seater helicopter, but it was nice that there were only three of us from the family. Another helicopter had two couples, and it seemed a bit cramped. However, before boarding, there was a feeling of being strangers, but after we landed, we exchanged firm handshakes, which felt like a connection among those who shared the same experience.

お天気が心配でしたが、飛び立つ頃には晴れと曇り。最初のオリエンテ―ションは、早口の英語で、ついていくのが難しかったですが、要領だけは何とかわかりました。曇りと、時々霧？の中を海岸線に沿って進みました。ところどころに岩の割れ目から見える、溶岩にびっくりと興奮。火口からは溶岩が赤く燃えているのが分かり蒸気もあり、、良く見えるようにと、何度もパイロットが旋回してくれました。英語もまあまあわかりました。天気がよかったら、もっと良かったのかはわかりませんが、午前中は、天候が悪くツアー自体がキャンセルだったようなので、予約しているものにとっては、ラッキーでした。四人乗りのヘリでしたが、家族三人だけだったのも良かったです。もう一台は二組のカップルが乗っていたのですが、狭かったようです。でも乗り込む前は、他人のような雰囲気だったのに、降りてきたら硬い握手をしていたので、同じ体験したもの同士のつながりのようなものも感じました。
