The staff consisted of a very cheerful older man and a younger guy. They took us to several beautiful spots, including places where cute birds gather and areas resembling the Blue Cave. Their service was extremely polite, and they were attentive throughout. When I dropped my sunglasses in the sea, they dove in to retrieve them, and they quickly noticed when I was being swept away to a shallower area during snorkeling and came to help. I think beginners and families can enjoy snorkeling here with peace of mind!โ

After reading the reviews, I signed up for the early morning tour, but since the schedule didn't work out, I couldn't give up and rebooked for the afternoon through HIS after arriving on-site.
I wanted to explore the underwater caves, so I opted for the ambitious plan (kayaking/snorkeling/stand-up paddleboarding) at Keauhou Bay.
I thought it would be a group activity with multiple participants, but it turned out to be just the two of us. They mentioned that they used to have larger groups for tours, but due to the difficulty in keeping an eye on everyone and the waiting times that reduced the actual activity time, they now prefer smaller groups.
I was quite anxious about the ocean activities since I can hardly swim and was worried about the language barrier, but Noni, who has an Asian appearance (possibly of Japanese descent?), spoke Japanese, and Kevin was also fluent in Japanese, which put me at ease.
There were four of us in total: the guide Kevin (male), Noni (female), and the two of us, each in our own kayak (one for the guide team and one for us).
Even though we usually don't exercise at all (a man in his late 40s and a woman in her late 30s), we had a great time.
Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy that day, but we monopolized the Pacific Ocean while kayaking. During snorkeling, I used my life jacket as a kickboard and enjoyed the underwater scenery without realizing how much time had passed until I was called back. Honestly, I had no expectations for the stand-up paddleboarding, but it turned out to be surprisingly fun. (My companion encountered a sea turtle just as they lost their balance and fell in!)
The two hours flew by. It might not be enough for those who want to take their time with each activity, but I highly recommend it for anyone looking to experience some fun in the ocean.

Hawaii Island Ocean Rafting & Lava Cave Adventure with Snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay by Captain Zodiac
We participated!!
On the day of the tour, due to the arrival of a luxury cruise ship from America, the 12-person boat was filled with foreigners except for my wife and me. The guidance was only in English, but even if you can't speak English at all, it's totally fine!!!
We got to see wild dolphins, and snorkeling in front of the beautiful "Captain Cook Monument," which is the most beautiful spot in Hawaii, was amazing. It's shallow, so even those who are not comfortable in the water (up to their face) can join.
Please be careful after arriving, as there is no changing area provided by the tour company. We dried off from the wind on the return boat and changed at the hotel after returning with our rental car.

I participated in an afternoon cruise. I drove a rental car to the meeting point for the tour. The weather was nice, and the boat didn't rock much, but while I was fiddling with my camera and looking for my belongings, I started to feel a bit queasy. Since it takes time to get to Kealakekua Bay, I think it's better to take it slow and enjoy the view outside for a while after boarding.
The sea was very beautiful, and I could see all the way to the bottom. There were also many small fish. The boat was equipped not only with snorkeling sets but also with floaties and some kind of tool that allows you to look into the water without putting your face in it.
Only the consent form for the first tour was available in Japanese, but everything on the boat was in English. Since they also discuss safety precautions, I wouldn't recommend it for someone who doesn't understand English at all.
On the way back, we encountered dolphins, and they swam alongside the boat for a while, so we were able to enjoy some dolphin watching. It was a very satisfying tour.

I was assisted by a very kind person named Kevin, who is fluent in Japanese. We started our adventure from the port near the Sheraton Hotel, setting off on a sea kayak. After about 30 minutes, we arrived at a cave known as "Dragon's Throat," where an impressive sight awaited us. Next, we went to a spot with a water depth of about 5 to 8 meters, filled with coral and many fish, and began snorkeling. We were able to see fish, and on that day, we even spotted a sea turtle! Additionally, we could jump off the rocks, lie down on warm lava rock formations, and enjoy some light snacks that were prepared for us. The chilled pineapple was delicious! If you are prone to seasickness, I recommend taking medication beforehand.

After the tour ended, I realized that it wasn't an exploration through caves, but overall, it was very good.
Even as a beginner, when two people cooperate rhythmically in the kayak, we made great progress, and being close to the water made the blue of the sea stand out beautifully. At the snorkeling point, the waves were calm, and we could see colorful fish, plus we jumped off the cliffs!!! I really enjoyed playing in the sea.
For those planning to participate, I recommend:
- Wearing sandals that wonโt come off for resting on the rocks.
- Taking sun protection measures is necessary. I suggest applying UV cream before heading back or wearing UV clothing. My feet got particularly sunburned.
The friendly service and enjoyable conversations were also memorable.

I have to say, the staff was fantastic. We came as a family - 2 adults and one 12-year old. One of us adults (me) got motion sickness on this trip. My 12 year old had to bear the brunt of the paddling as we were sharing a kayak. I was dreading the trip back from our snorkeling stop. The guides could see that we were struggling (because of my nausea and the high seas) and they tethered us to their kayak and helped us in. We continued to work our paddles but I think we might still be on the water today if it weren't for their help. My husband was in a single kayak and he did fantastic and had a great time. We certainly cannot blame anyone for my sea sickness except me but the staff was very nice about it and extremely helpful. Thanks guys for all of your help! My husband and son are ready to go again but I think I'll sit the next one out.

I did this helicopter ride with my husband and 12 yr old son. It was fantastic! We got lucky and had a sunny day, and the views of the island were amazing. We saw some lava flows, we saw waterfalls, and the pilot shared lots of information. We saw a house that had recently been destroyed by lava flow, and all that was left was a bit of roof. We had never done a helicopter ride, and I was a bit nervous about it. We rode with the doors on. It was very smooth, and the views made me forget to be nervous. I felt very safe actually. Our pilot (Aaron) was completely competent and friendly and knowledgeable. I got to sit in the front, next to the pilot. My husband and son sat behind us and they had a great time. Its expensive, but its worth doing at least once. You'll get a view of the island that you can't see any other way.

I participated in the afternoon tour. I received a reservation confirmation email that mentioned to call for confirmation the day before, but it might be a bit challenging for those who can't speak English.
I drove to the location with a rental car. The parking lot was far from the office and hard to find, so having a map in advance would be helpful.
The boat was fairly large, and I didn't feel seasick at all. We encountered dolphins along the way. There were light snacks and drinks available on board.
The sea was incredibly beautiful, and I was able to see many fish, coral reefs, and sea urchins. There was also a slide, which was fun.
I was surprised to see an elderly woman, who looked to be over 80 years old and bent over, entering the water! Of course, she had someone accompanying her.
Since it wasn't summer, it was cold when we got out of the water.

Great, fun day splashing around off the Kona coast. Nothing wildly new, unless you've never done this sort of thing before. Getting buzzed by a pod of spinner dolphins and the 20-ft cliff jump were highlights. Just be aware: you're looking at several hours of direct sun here, so best buy the aloe first.

It was a compact tour of kayaking, snorkeling, cliff diving and sea-cave watching, though the weather didn't allow sea-cave exploration on that day. The overall experience was worthwhile for a first-timer. The tour made it much easier for route guidance, picking up kayaking tips, tying up kayaks when snorkeling and quick onshore energy supplement. It might be a little demanding physically for individual rowers. Yet the staff were very experienced, helpful (and encouraging for beginners).

Had a good time. I'm athletic so asked for a single but was put in a double kayak with my father since girls are "weak". My father got sea sick so we were towed back even though I wanted to do the rowing. I never did get the exercise I wanted and never saw the sea caves so was pretty disappointed. My brother went on to see the caves in his single kayak. We were told that the activity would be over at noon but my brother came back at 11 a.m. We had to wait around til noon for our ride which was also a little disappointing. Wouldn't do this activity again under the circumstances.

My husband and I were first time visitors to Hawaii. Going to a luah was one activity we chose. We took advantage of the preferred seating and felt it was worth the money. We were seated right in the front, were able to go first to the buffet and received $5 off our picture and paid only $5 for parking. The entertainment was truly amazing. The food was o.k but we didn't expect a whole lot. The dancers even stood at the exit so you could get a picture with them.

Since I am into diving, I went for snorkeling in the bay without expecting too much. It was beautiful.
There were plenty of fish, the reef was stunning, and the water clarity was high.
I think the clarity was comparable to that of the remote islands in Okinawa.
Drinks, snacks, and pineapples were all-you-can-eat.
On the way back, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and further away, there were whales.
It was fun on the large boat without any seasickness.

I participated in February, and honestly, it was quite cold at first since the sun hadn't risen yet. However, the sunrise I saw while kayaking out to sea was truly beautiful. It was my first time kayaking in the ocean, but once I got the hang of it, I was surprisingly able to paddle as I wanted, and it was fun.
The sea where I went snorkeling had very beautiful coral. The morning hours are very affordable, and after the tour, I was able to use the whole day, making it a fulfilling day.

There are not enough superlatives to describe this experience. For a landlubber from eastern Canada this is an adventure that will not likely be repeated. The staff at Sea Paradise are friendly, proffessional and extremely knowledgable. I would not hesitate to book with them again. Can't wait for my DVD to arrive so I can relive it all over again.

One experience that can only be had on the Big Island of Hawaii is manta night snorkeling. Plankton gather around the light from the Sheraton Hotel in Keauhou Bay, attracting manta rays that come to feed on them. This is something you should definitely experience at least once. The night boat and snorkeling can be cold, so I recommend bringing a warm jacket. Also, if you are prone to seasickness, it's wise to take some medication beforehand. However, I believe you will have a great experience that you won't regret.

Check-in at Keauhou Bay. This tour is mainly targeted at mainland tourists who are participating in overseas tours, so all the guidance is in English. However, if you've received a basic education, you should be fine. The staff are friendly and respond kindly. Kealakekua Bay has high transparency and calm waves, making it an ideal environment for snorkeling. You'll be welcomed by a variety of tropical fish. Also, if you're lucky, dolphins might come by. With breakfast and lunch included at this price, it's quite reasonable.

The meeting spot was Kevin. When I greeted him with "Hello," he responded with "Konnichiwa!"โhe's a guide fluent in Japanese. In fact, he's been living in Japan for 25 years! From the meeting point, it was a 3-minute walk to the departure location, where we learned how to paddle a sea kayak before setting off. After paddling for about 30 to 45 minutes in Keauhou Bay, we snorkeled in a spot where we could see down to about 10 meters deep. When we got tired of snorkeling, we climbed up on some rocks for snack time. It was a very Hawaiian Island activity, and I was quite satisfied. A hat is essential for sun protection.

I participated with my mother in her 60s. I was a bit worried about her joining due to the speed of the boat, but we were both very satisfied. I think elderly people can participate as well. The staff was very accommodating, and during snorkeling, they supported my mother, who couldn't swim, by providing a float that allowed her to look down and see the fish.
Fortunately, we were lucky enough to encounter whales and dolphins. There were no staff members who spoke Japanese, but I think as long as you can communicate a little, you can enjoy the experience without any issues. It's more thrilling than regular whale watching, and I highly recommend it.

If you participate expecting typical rafting, you might feel it's a bit different.
Instead of the thrill from drops, it feels more like riding a rubber boat at high speed on the ocean, similar to jet skiing.
Honestly, I got a bit bored since there were no drops, just fast speeds.
Still, I appreciated the service spirit of the captain, and it was great to actually see wild dolphins and a whale in the distance.
The snorkeling spots were nice, though I wouldn't say they were astonishingly beautiful.

Thank you for participating in the Ocean Rafting & Lava Cave Adventure Tour.
We are delighted to hear that you were able to see wild dolphins and whales on the day of the tour. Our Ocean Rafting tour is not like the jet ski experience you may have expected; it is a high-speed tour along the coastline on a Zodiac boat.
During the high-speed ride, we also provide explanations about the geography and history of the Big Island of Hawaii. If you have difficulty hearing or understanding during the tour, please let the captain know right away, and we will be happy to explain things more slowly.
We hope to see you again on the Big Island!

This was great activity! The historian who was on board with us did an excellent job of explaining everything that we were seeing along the coast. The food was really good and there was plenty of it. As an added bonus to our wonderful evening, we were first entertained by several schools of dolphins and then we sighted several whales. What a wonderful sight! The crew were very curtious and helpful and the live entertainment and the drinks were great. Definitely a highlight of my stay and something that I would do again!!

I underestimated Hawaii. The ocean at night was extremely cold. I was thinking I wanted to go home since I couldn't encounter a manta ray. However, when I finally encountered a manta ray swimming gracefully, I was so moved that the cold didn't matter anymore.
For those who are Japanese and not using a rental car, I recommend hotel shuttle services. We used a taxi, but there was a bit of distance between the place where we checked and confirmed the wetsuit size and the boat. Also, on the way back, we had a lot of trouble finding a taxi. I think it would be better to provide more information about that.
