ワイピオ渓谷 　乗馬ツアー　＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞ by ワイピオ・オン・ホースバック

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: サマー

I participated with my 12-year-old and 8-year-old children. Although we were supposed to meet at 1 PM, we arrived 10 minutes late, but the guide said they were out for lunch.

Backpacks are not allowed; it's best to have something like a waist pouch that fits closely to your body. Some people were using insect repellent spray. I also got bitten by insects in a couple of places.

After changing to a different vehicle from the meeting point, we arrived at the Waipi'o Valley lookout. From there, the road continued to descend steeply. It was quite bumpy, and we crossed a river along the way. I'm glad we didn't have lunch right before; we would have definitely gotten car sick.

When we reached the scenic viewpoint, the driver stopped the car so we could take photos from inside.

Upon arriving at the horseback riding location, there was an explanation in English. It was something like, "When turning right, pull the reins to the right..." My 8-year-old daughter was scared because she is small, but she was trying her best since she couldn't ride with me. We rode for over an hour, and by the end, my legs were definitely tired.

The kids had a valuable experience, and we were all satisfied.

12歳と8歳の子連れで参加しました。
13時集合だったのに10分遅れてしまいましたがガイドさんがランチに行ってるとの事でした。

荷物はリュックはダメでウエストポーチみたいに体に密着するのがベストです。虫よけスプレーをふってる方もいらっしゃいました。私も２か所くらい虫に刺されました

集合場所から違う車に乗り換えワイピオ渓谷展望台に到着。そこから急降下の道が続きます。ガタガタ揺れますし途中川も渡りました。直前にランチしなくて良かったです。きっと車酔いしてそう
絶景ポイントがくると、車を止めれくれ車内から写真撮影。

乗馬場所に到着すると英語で説明があります。右に曲がるときは紐を右に・・・という感じの説明でした。
８歳の娘は小柄なため怖がっていたけど一緒に乗ることはできなかったため頑張っていました。
１時間以上乗っていましたが終わったときはやはり足が疲れていました

子供たちも貴重な体験ができたのでみんなで満足しました

6名限定！ハワイ島　野生のイルカウォッチング+ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー＜午前／英語ガイド／軽食付＞

I was able to spend a truly fulfilling time. 本当に充実した時間を過ごすことができました

Reviewed by: よよいの

In mid-February, I participated in this activity, fulfilling my long-time dream of swimming with wild dolphins. It was truly an amazing experience. The captain, a woman named Bambi, was very knowledgeable about the Hawaiian sea and the ecology of dolphins and whales. She provided excellent guidance on where to spot dolphins, when to jump into the water, and her hospitality on the boat was top-notch. I also appreciated that this activity had a small group size, which made it even better.

<Recommended Points>
1. All conversations with the captain on the boat are in English, but they have a Japanese desk available, so if anything comes up, you can communicate in Japanese. (There were times when I needed to contact them due to scheduling issues, and I was grateful for their assistance in Japanese.)
2. The small group size.
3. There are noodles (floating pool toys), so even if you're not confident in your swimming ability, you can feel secure.
4. They provide free rentals of masks, snorkels, fins, and wetsuits.

<Content of the Experience>
After gathering, we quickly boarded the boat and headed to the dolphin spotting point. Along the way, we received instructions on how to wait when dolphins are spotted and how to swim. When we finally saw dolphins, we didn’t jump in immediately; instead, we observed the dolphins and waited for the chance to get close. Sometimes, other tour boats would pass by, causing the dolphins to speed up or swim away, making it difficult to jump in. However, we patiently waited for the captain's instructions from the boat, and when we got the go-ahead, we jumped into the sea! After that, we enjoyed swimming alongside the dolphins. Luckily, we got to swim with dolphins early on, so we spent the remaining time searching for whales, snorkeling, and being guided along the coastline on our way back to the dock. (We were also treated to tropical fruits on the boat!)

The activity lasted about four hours, and I had more than enough experience; I was very satisfied.

<Personal Recommended Items to Bring>
1. Although the boat has a roof, it can be quite sunny, and it can get cold while moving, so I recommend bringing a light jacket.
2. I highly recommend bringing a “familiar” waterproof camera. Dolphins swim quickly, so if you hesitate, you might miss the shot. (Smartphone cameras can be risky to drop, and they may take time to start up or be difficult to see the screen.) Additionally, it’s a good idea to attach a floating accessory to your waterproof camera in case it slips from your hand.

<Cautions>
1. Dolphins are wild, so there’s a possibility you may not see them depending on the day. Let’s hope to see them!
2. You cannot touch the dolphins (to prevent them from getting sick). The dolphins will not come close to play; instead, you will swim alongside them. (Generally, you will need to use the noodles to swim. It’s best to inquire directly if you can dive.)
3. Activities other than dolphin swimming (like whale watching and snorkeling) may vary in duration depending on the time spent on dolphin swimming. (In any case, dolphins tend to disappear around 9:30 AM to sleep.)
4. Although it’s not part of Japanese culture, if you are satisfied with the activity, consider giving a tip.

<Comment>
I’ve explained a lot, but it was truly a fulfilling time, and I wanted to express my gratitude to Kona Ocean Experience for providing this experience. I hope they continue this activity for a long time. If you’re unsure which similar tour to choose from, I highly recommend participating in this one!

２月中旬にこのアクティビティに参加し、長年の夢であった野生のイルカと一緒に泳ぐ夢がかない、本当に素晴らしい体験をすることができました。
船長は女性のBambiさんは、ハワイの海とイルカやクジラの生態を熟知しておられる方で
イルカが見られるポイント、海へ飛び込むタイミングの指示、船上でのおもてなしが最高でした。本アクティビティは少人数制なのでそれも良かったと思います。

<おすすめポイント>
① 船上での船長との会話はすべて英語となりますが、日本語専用のデスクを設けておられるので何かあったときには日本語でやり取りしてもらえます。(スケジュールの関係で連絡をしないといけないことがありましたが、日本語でご対応いただき助かりました)
② 少人数制であること。
③ ヌードル(棒状の浮き輪)があるので、多少泳ぎに自身がなくても安心。
④ マスク、シュノーケル、フィン、ウェットスーツを無料で貸し出ししてもらえます。

<参加したときの内容>
集合後、早速船に乗りイルカが見えるポイントへ。道中にはイルカが見えた時の待機のしかた、泳ぎ方などのレクチャーがあります。
実際にイルカが見えたときには、すぐに飛び込まずイルカの様子を伺い、私たちとイルカが近づけるチャンスを待ちました。その際、他のツアーの船などが往来し、イルカの速度があがったり逃げてしまったりで なかなか飛び込むことができない場合がありますが、船上から船長の指示をじっと待ち、GOサインがでたらいざ海へ！！そのあとはイルカに近づいて並走を楽しみました。
運よく早々にイルカと泳ぐことを楽しめたので、残りの時間でクジラ探しやシュノーケリング、船着き場へ戻る途中で海岸沿いを船で案内してもらいました。(船上では南国フルーツのおもてなしもありました！)

アクティビティ開始から約４時間でしたが、十分すぎる体験をすることができ、大満足でした。

<個人的 おすすめ持参品>
① 船上は屋根はありますが、日差しがきつい場合と、船での移動中は寒いときがあるので軽く羽織れる服を持参すると良いと思います。
② “使い慣れた”防水カメラを持参することを激しくお勧めします。イルカの泳ぐ速度は早いので、もたついていると撮影できません。(スマホのカメラは落とす危険があることと、起動に時間がかかる場合や画面が見づらいもありますので、、) また、防水カメラへは手から離れてしまっても浮くアクセサリを付けていると良いと思います。

<注意点>
① イルカは野生なので、日にちによっては見ることができない可能性もあるそうです。会えることを祈りましょう。
② イルカへは触れません。(イルカが病気になってしまう可能性があるため)　イルカ側から近寄ってきて一緒に遊んでくれるのではなく、泳いでいるところを一緒に泳がせてもらう感じでした。(基本、ヌードル必須で泳ぐことになると思います。潜水しても良いかどうかは直接お問合せいただいたほうが良いと思います。)
③ ドルフィンスイム以外(クジラ探しやシュノーケリング等)は、ドルフィンスイムにかける時間により、あったり短くなったりだと思います。(いずれにせよ、イルカは９時半ごろからは寝るために居なくなるそうです)
④　　日本の文化には無いですが、アクティビティに満足されたらチップを渡しましょう。

<コメント>
長々と説明しましたが、本当に充実した時間だったので この経験をさせてくださったコナ・オーシャン・エクスペリエンスに感謝したく、
これからも長くこのアクティビティを続けてもらえればと思って書き込みさせてもらいました。似たようなツアーがたくさんあってどれにしようか迷っておられるかたは、是非参加してみてください！

Traditional Luau & Hula Hawaiian Show 伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー

Reviewed by: Akemi

The event was held four times a week, and the schedule worked out well. At the opening, the ceremony where King Kamehameha's group solemnly landed on the ship really enhanced the atmosphere, which was great. The buffet-style food was well-managed by the staff, allowing guests to fill their plates without waiting in line, and during the wait, we could enjoy drinks while watching a mini-show, which was nice. The menu was clearly introduced on the website in advance, featuring many local Hawaiian ingredients and dishes, and the taste was excellent. The hula dance and fire show performed by the young male and female artists were beautiful and impressive. It was a satisfying show.

週4回の開催で日程がうまくとれた。
オープニングで、船に乗ってカメハメハ大王一団が厳かに上陸するセレモニーが雰囲気を盛り上げてくれ、よかった。
バイキング形式のお料理は、係員がお客を上手に案内して並ばずに盛り込め、待ち時間中はミニショーを見ながらドリンクがいただけてよかった。お料理の内容も事前にウエブで紹介されわかりやすく、ハワイ特産の素材、料理が多く、味もよかった。
フラダンス、ファイアーショーは演技者の若者男女、美しく、かっこよかった。満足いくショーでした。

It was the evening of the previous day, but I was able to smoothly make a reservation and complete the payment without any issues, allowing me to go whale watching the next morning. However, the meeting point on the map was at a different location from the same agent, which caused quite a bit of panic. Fortunately, a local person kindly explained everything to me, and I was able to make it on time.

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

There were no Japanese people, but it was fun. 日本人はいませんでしたが、楽しかったです

Reviewed by: MA3

I found a similar tour that offered Japanese language support, but since this one was cheaper, I decided to join this tour instead. I passed by the Japanese tour group along the way, and they were following a similar course. The participants there were in their 40s to 60s, so the age group was a bit older.

In our tour, everyone except us was from Europe or America, so we spoke in English. They were friendly people in their 30s, which made for a fun atmosphere that I enjoyed. There were also some adventurous individuals who jumped off the rocks, so I think younger people would have more fun on this English tour.

The sun was strong, but I wore a long-sleeved rash guard, so I managed to avoid a bad sunburn. At first, I hesitated to leave my smartphone and valuables behind, but I was worried about them getting wet, so I decided to hand them over. As expected, I capsized once while kayaking on the way back and got soaked, so anyone going in the future should definitely leave their valuables before getting on the kayak.

似たようなツアーで日本語OKのものがあったのですが、値段が安かったのでこちらのツアーに参加しました。日本語ツアー組も途中すれ違ったので、似たようなコースを進んでいました。そちらの参加者は40～60代だったので高めの年齢層でした。

私たちのツアーは、私たち以外は欧米人だったので、英語でしゃべっていました。彼らは30代前後の友好的な人達だったので、私も楽しい雰囲気で楽しめました。
岩場から飛び降りたりしていたやんちゃな人もいたので、若い人ならこちらの英語のツアーの方が楽しめると思います。

日差しが強かったのですが、長袖のラッシュを着ていたので、ひどい日焼けはしなくて済みました。最初、スマホや貴重品を預けるのを躊躇したのですが、水没が心配だったので預けることにしました。案の定、カヤックで帰ってくるときに1回転覆してびしょびしょになったので、これから行く人は迷わず貴重品はカヤックに乗る前に預けた方が賢明です。

I was able to see the dolphins clearly. イルカはしっかり見れました

Reviewed by: mog

The tour guide was frank and easy to talk to.

There is no towel rental, so you need to bring your own. It was still cold in January, and moving on the boat while wet with the wind made it extremely cold.

The tour itself was very good, but I felt it was a bit of a waste that I couldn't stay in the water for a long time because of the cold.

Also, since the explanations are in English, I thought it might not be suitable for those who are snorkeling for the first time.

ツアーガイドさんがフランクで話しやすかったです。

タオルの貸し出しはないため、持っていく必要があります。1月中はまだ寒く、濡れた状態で船で移動して風が当たるのでものすごく寒かったです。

ツアー自体はとてもよかったのですが、寒くて水中に長時間いることができず少しもったいなかったなと思いました。

また英語での説明になるので、はじめてのシュノーケリングの方は適さないと思いました。

The cruiser was large and the wind was strong, but it was okay. I was moved to see whales swimming to the right and left in front of the boat. However, there were no jumps, and I was a bit disappointed with just the body and tail. But I guess that's nature for you.

Maybe because it was an early morning, I was able to spend the day very leisurely. It was a wonderful experience. The staff were also very kind and it was a lot of fun.

クルーザーも大きく風が強かったがまあまあでした。
鯨も舟の先へと右へと左へとみることが出来感動でした。でもジャンプ等はなく胴体しっぽなどで少々期待外れ。でも相手は自然界しょうがないですね。

I thought it would be about two hours, but it ended up being close to three hours, which was enjoyable. However, for the first two hours or so, the host's talk and performances delayed the start of the actual Hawaiian show. It might be a reminder to take it easy and enjoy Hawaiian time. The show itself wasn't much different from what I've seen outside of Hawaii.

２時間ほどかと思っていたら、３時間近くあって長く楽しめた。ただ、最初の２時間くらいは、司会者の話と演奏でなかなか、本来のハワイアンショーが始まらない。せかせかせず、ハワイタイムを過ごせということかも知れないが。
ショー自体は、Hawaii以外で観たものと、あまり変わりは無かった。

Disappointing

Reviewed by: Colin

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 ride was absolutely breathtaking! The high mountains that surround the area are a wonderful sight to take in, great for photo ops as well. All of the horses are well behaved and a joy to be around. When we find ourselves back in the area we will definitely be stopping by again. If you tend to get carsick, you may want to take some motion sickness medication before the drive down to the valley. Its quite bumpy but totally worth it!

ワイピオ渓谷 　乗馬ツアー　＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞ by ワイピオ・オン・ホースバック

Adventure experience in Hawaii ハワイでアドベンチャー体験

Reviewed by: 古希おっさん

The meeting place was easy to find with the navigation guidance. It wasn't too difficult to locate. When I arrived 15 minutes early, one group had already completed their check-in. After that, we gathered for a tour of 12 people. There were two Japanese, including my wife. We traveled by 4WD to Waipi'o Valley, but the path down to the valley from the viewpoint was steep and narrow. Although there was a fence on the valley side, there was a risk of a serious accident if the driving went wrong. The elderly man sitting behind the driver was holding his head while the driver explained things. It was a bit scary. Once we descended into the valley, the view of Hi'ilawe Falls and the canyon from the bottom was breathtaking. After about 30 minutes, we arrived at the location with the stables, and the horseback riding tour began. We received an English lecture on how to ride a horse, and each person was assigned a horse. The horse commands were given through the reins, but I managed to understand. Finally, the tour began. The horses were well-trained and moved in a line. My wife, who was riding for the first time, had some trouble when the horse stopped to drink water while crossing a river, but the staff assisted her. Riding through the greenery of the valley and along the stream was refreshing and an extraordinary experience. The horseback riding experience lasted about an hour. After getting off the horse, my knees hurt, but my wife said she felt fine. I had riding experience 50 years ago, but even beginners should have no problem riding. I highly recommend it.

集合場所は、ナビの案内で行けました。そんなに判りにくくはありません。集合時間１５分前に着いたら１組が受付を済ませていました。その後、集まり１２名のツアーでした。日本人は妻と２名。４駆でワイピオ渓谷まで移動しましたが、展望台から下の渓谷に降りる路は傾斜がきつく且つ路幅も狭く谷側にフェンスはあるものの、運転を間違えれば崖下へ落下の大事故になるリスクがあります。運転席後ろの席の年配おじさんは、後ろを見て解説する運転手に頭をかかえていました。少し怖いです。渓谷に降り、谷底から見るヒイラヴェ滝と渓谷は絶景です。約３０分で厩舎のある場所に到着し、乗馬ツアー開始です。馬の乗り方について英語でレクチャーがあり、１人１人に馬をあてがわれます。馬の指示は手綱で行いますが、なんとか判りました。いよいよツアーです。馬もよく調教されていて、連なって進みます。乗馬初めての妻は河を渡る時、馬が水を飲み始め止まって困っていましたが、スタッフのフォローでことなし。渓谷の緑と渓流の中を馬で連なって進むのは気持ちよく、非日常の体験でした。１時間ほどの乗馬体験です。馬から降りたら膝が痛かった。妻はなんともないと言ってました。私は５０年前に乗馬経験がありましたが、未経験者でも問題なく乗れるでしょう。おすすめです。

Super lucky! 超ラッキー！

Reviewed by: まりん

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。

Reviewed by: Mary & Lloyd

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!

There weren't many fish, and the colors were not very vibrant, which was a bit disappointing, but I had a good experience. Thank you.

魚があまりいなく、色もカラフルでなく若干残念でしたが、良い体験はできました。ありがとうございました・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

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＞

A unique experience for this season! この時期ならではの体験！

Reviewed by: まっきー＠

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！

Deluxe Big Island ATV Tour & Waterfall Swim at Umauma Falls

Much fun!

Reviewed by: TracyM

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.

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＞

There were whales! クジラいました！

Reviewed by: maki

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。

朝早くだったので、おにぎりを持参していきました。
船上はグラノーラだけでしたので、待ち時間に持参したおにぎりを食べれて良かったです。
出発するとすごく揺れるので、集合してから船乗するまでの待ち時間に食するとベストだと思います。

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Tour & Tropical Waterfalls Sightseeing from Hilo

Great experience

Reviewed by: Elise

The tour was wonderful! Rob, our guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had plenty of time at each of the stops, and really got to explore the island. The hikes in Volcanoes National Park were easy, and we got to see a variety of areas and sites. The waterfalls and black sand beach in the afternoon were beautiful. Absolutely loved the day and the tour!
