All Reviews for For 7 Year Olds

My husband and I did this for the first time and we had a truly wonderful experience! Kevin was a great guide! He was helpful, kind, informative and thoughtful by taking photos and suggesting what to do and what not to do to get the best experience. We loved the snorkeling and the sea cave experience! I did get nauseas so I suggest you bring an antinausea medication, also unfortunately we didn't see the dolphins. But other than that we loved it!!

We had a great time, and really enjoyed the entire experience. We we lucky and had manta rays barrel rolling right up to us for most of the time we were in the water. The captain and staff were friendly and knowledgeable. And the snacks were a nice treat after getting out of the water. Hope to do it again!

The helicopter ride was amazing! We took the Circle Island tour. Colin was our pilot and he was really informative and made it a really fun experience.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this activity to anyone.

As a family who loves snorkeling, we brought our own gear from Japan to join the tour!

The other passengers were of various ages and nationalities, including quite an elderly gentleman. For beginners, they provided thorough instructions on how to wear the mask, which was reassuring. However, all the explanations were in the captain's fast-paced English. (laughs)

We snorkeled at two spots, depending on the sea conditions. The first location was near the Pu'uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park. There were many large coral reefs and a variety of colorful tropical fish! It was such a beautiful spot that we lost track of time.

The second spot was about a 20-minute boat ride away, where lava from Kilauea flowed into the sea decades ago. There were large, round rocks that had cooled and solidified, making it a fun place to explore the terrain. There, we spotted sea turtles! We watched them from a distance so as not to disturb them. Seeing the turtles swim was like watching them soar through the sky, which was incredibly soothing.

When the captain called out that it was lunchtime, we got back on the boat to find smoke rising from it. We enjoyed a buffet-style hamburger lunch with beef patties and chicken grilled by the crew, along with fresh vegetables! It was surprisingly delicious, far exceeding our expectations! The homemade taro chips on the side were also very tasty.

As everyone reluctantly left the sea, the boat headed back to the dock. Along the way, we spotted a pod of dolphins and took some time for dolphin watching, and we made a quick stop at the Captain Cook monument before returning.

The tour lasted about five hours, but time flew by so quickly that we even discussed going again during our stay! (laughs) It was an incredibly satisfying tour! I will definitely participate again when I visit the Big Island!

シュノーケル好きの私たち親子は日本からマイ器材を持って参加！

ほかの乗船客は年齢も国籍も様々。
かなり年配のおじいちゃんもいました。
シュノーケル初心者の方にはマスクの付け方などのレクチャーもしっかりしてくださり安心。
ただし説明はすべて船長の早口な英語です。（笑）

シュノーケルポイントは海況を見て2箇所。
1箇所目はホナウナウ国立歴史公園の近く。
大きなサンゴの棚がたくさんあり、色とりどりの熱帯魚もたくさん！
時間を忘れてしまうほど美しいポイントでした。

2箇所目はさらに20分ほどボートを走らせ、先ほどとは一転
何十年か前にキラウエアからの溶岩が海に流れ込んだと言う場所。
冷えて固まった大きな丸い岩がゴロゴロと落ちており、地形を楽しむようなポイントです。
そこではウミガメたちを発見！彼らの邪魔にならないよう、遠くから見つめていました。
ウミガメが泳ぐ姿はまるで空を羽ばたいているようで、とても癒されました。

船長からランチタイムだぞー！と声をかけられ海から上がると、船からもくもくと煙が。
船員さんが焼いてくれたビーフパティやチキンと一緒にフレッシュな野菜を挟む
バイキング形式のハンバーガーランチ！
これが予想をはるかに超える美味しさでビックリ！
サイドの自家製タロイモチップスもとても美味しかったです。

皆が海を名残惜しんでいるところでボートは桟橋に向けて出発。
途中イルカの群れを見つけてしばしイルカウォッチングしたり、
キャプテンクックのモニュメントに寄り道したりしながら戻りました。

5時間ほどのツアーでしたが本当にあっっと言う間に時間が過ぎ、
滞在中もう一回行っちゃう？と話題が出たほど（笑）大満足のツアーでした！
またハワイ島に行った際は絶対に参加します！

Three years ago, I attended a luau at a different hotel in the same area, but this one was better. The venue had various booths in a workshop format where you could take commemorative photos and lightly engage with Polynesian culture. There were henna stamps (though it probably wasn't henna, as it easily came off with wet wipes that night), toys like kendama, and board games. After experiencing the henna, we were guided to a table while enjoying free cocktails. We sat at a round table for eight with a group of four from England. The MC conducted the event in English that was generally understandable, even for us with just basic travel English.

However, the English spoken by the British guests was a bit difficult to understand, and there was a speaker right behind me, making conversation challenging. The luau had a nice size and a sense of unity. Since the audience was close to the stage, perhaps for safety reasons, the fire dance lost some of its intensity as the flames diminished while being twirled.

Still, both the male and female dancers delivered powerful and high-quality performances, and a three-member Hawaiian band entertained us with pleasant music during the opening and intermissions. Some comments mentioned that the event was long, and I agree it might not be suitable for children.

During the meal, they came around selling the photos taken at the beginning for $20. Being a tourist, I bought one generously, but I wished they had paid more attention to the background and composition. I forgot to reconfirm the reservation the day before and hurriedly called that morning, but it seemed there was no issue.

Participating on our last night in Hawaii was definitely the right choice. Next time, I want to study more so I can understand English better and visit again.

三年前に同じ地域の別ホテルのルアウに参加しましたが、それより良かった。開場し記念撮影と各種ポリネシアン文化に軽く触れられるワークショップ形式のブースがちらほら。ヘナのスタンプ(おそらくヘナではない、その夜に濡れティッシュで簡単に落ちた)、けん玉？のような遊具やボードゲームなど。ヘナだけ体験し、無料のカクテルを飲んでいるとテーブルへ案内されます。８名掛けの円卓に我々夫婦とイギリスから来たという４名のグループが同席。旅行英会話程度の我々でもだいたい理解できる英語でMCが進行してくれます。
同席のイギリス人の英語が分かりづらいのと私の真後ろにスピーカーがあったので会話に難儀しました。程よい広さで一体感のあるルアウ。客席が近いから安全性を重視するのか、ファイアーダンスは振り回しているうちに火が小さくなっていってやや迫力に欠けます。
それでも男女とも迫力と完成度高いダンスパフォーマンスに圧倒されますし、三人編成のハワイアンバンドが前座、幕間を程よい音楽で楽しませてくれます。他者のコメントで時間が長いとありましたが、確かにお子さん向けではないかな。
食事の途中、最初に撮影した写真を＄２０で売りに回ってきます。おのぼりさんですから気前良く買いましたが背景など構図をもっと気にしてほしかったです。前日のリコンファームを失念し当日朝に慌てて電話しましたが問題なかったようです。
ハワイ島最後の夜に参加して大正解でした。次回、もっと英語が聞き取れるよう勉強して再訪したいです。

The explanation in English is not difficult, and it's enough to understand the hazards and precautions. The helicopter without doors is thrilling and enjoyable.

英語での説明は難しくなく、危険事項、注意事項が理解できれば十分。
ドアなしのヘリは迫力十分、楽しめます。

The guys were awesome. Made it fun. The horses were strong and healthy. The scenery was breathtaking, green and lush. We would have liked to ride the horses through the waterfalls, same price, but this was good too. There were wild horses and donkey that let you pet them. Overall our experiences was great. Thank you for making the day fun.

their lights were dim compared to other companies, and they went in much earlier than the other boats.

I participated in this tour to enjoy the sea on the rocky shores of Hawaii Island. There are two main highlights of this tour:

1. Snorkeling
I wasn't very good at swimming, but I was grateful that they provided life jackets. The first snorkeling spot was about 3 meters deep, so I couldn't touch the bottom, and at the other location, I couldn't stand on the coral reef either, so I was swimming the whole time. There weren't a huge number of fish, but I was happy to see a turtle.

2. The speed of the boat
It was astonishing. Of course, I took off my hat and held onto the railing the entire time. It was thrilling and a lot of fun. I think it was even more impactful than snorkeling.

The locals also said that Sea Quest is great, and the morning plan, which has less intense waves, wraps up before noon, so I was able to make the most of my day. However, the guide only spoke English, so all the instructions were in English as well. I also recommend applying sunscreen thoroughly, especially on your back.

岩場の多いハワイ島で海を楽しむため参加しました。このツアーの楽しみは2点です。

1.シュノーケル
泳ぐのが苦手でしたが、ライフジャケットを用意しておいてくれたので助かりました。一つ目のシュノーケルポイントは水深3メートルぐらいで足はつきませんし、もう一つの場所でもサンゴ礁の上には立つことはできないので泳ぎぱなしです。
魚は大量というわけではありませんでしたが、カメに会うことができたのでよかったです。

2.ボートの速さ
驚愕でした。帽子などはもちろん外し、ずっと手すりにつかまっていました。スリルがあって楽しかったです。シュノーケル以上にインパクトがあったように思います。

現地の人もSea Questはいいよと言っていましたし、波の激しくない朝のプランはお昼前には解散なので一日充実できました。ただし、ガイドさんは本当に英語のみだったので注意事項などももちろん英語です。あと日焼け止めをとくに背中に入念に塗ることをおすすめします。

My husband and I were both nervous, I get seasick and he has a fear of deeper water and has never snorkeled. Captain Morgan was amazing and the crew was super reassuring. They gave me ginger candy when I got on. I only felt a little queasy, it wasn't as bad as I thought. Short ride and they got us in the water and we had a full display of barrel rolls by 2 mantas! My husband had an amazing time and he enjoyed it more than he thought he would. He would do it again! You stay in the water for a reasonable amount of time, I got out a tad early but we went back shortly after. Tea, soda and fresh pineapple was offered. A MUST do and I couldn't ask for a better crew. Bring your own goggles and snorkel if you have them, some masks leaked a little. Worth it even if you get seasick (lots of ginger and dramamine!)
Pick a day with no wind as Well! We had a great experience.

Crew was very nice and captain had a great story, but we were ones that had little luck with manta's. We did see one or two, but it took a full hour in water, where some of my party began to get sick and missed it. The most disappointing part was absolutely no cruise. Do not expect a cruise. We coasted for 5 min and went out where I could snorkel on my own. I really thought we would sail for a bit and get snacks instead of one piece of pineapple. Understand you are hanging onto a ladder the whole time. I get it for safety reasons, but not what I expected. There is no real snorkeling where your swimming around. No boat lights other then ladder. I felt we were using other boats lights, where we were the last ones to ever see anything, unless we got lucky. Our ladder had lights. I thought this was also a 3 to 4 hour tour. It took 5 or 10 min. To get where we were going, then hour in water, then go home. No drinks on this, and hit and miss with hot chocolate. I highly recommended actually sailing first and open the sails like they said would happen and choosing this boat in the first place. My party was disappointed. My kids were troopers and stayed out with me and saw the one manta, before turning back where the rest of the people holding onto the ladder didn't see it. At least give us a cruise first with this cool boat.

Great experience!!!! Tour guide was very knowledgeable, experienced, super friendly, and accommodating! Loved this!

We participated as three siblings, and all of us were able to stand. The teachers were very kind and taught us well. Although none of us could speak much English, they used very simple words and gestures to communicate, so we didn't have any trouble.

姉弟三人で参加しましたが、全員立てました。
先生たちが、とても親切に教えてくれます。３人ともほとんど英語が話せませんが、ごく簡単な言葉やジェスチャーを交えて教えてくれるので、困りませんでした。

Captain Steve was hilarious and Michael was a great assistant captain. Both Steve and Michael were entertaining and very knowledgeable about the southern part of the island of Hawaii. We saw dolphins, tons of colorful fish snorkeling, traveled to look inside sea cave and had more food than we needed! It was a truly amazing day on the ocean with Sea Quest!

The feeling of tension and excitement alternated, making it an hour that flew by in no time! If I have the chance, I definitely want to try it again!

緊張と興奮の感覚が交互に交錯してあっとゆう間の一時間でした！機会があれば是非もう一度トライしてみたいと思います！

I felt uplifted when I was given a lei upon entry! The all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink options, along with the show, were fantastic!

入場時にレイをかけてもらって、気分が上がりました！
食べ放題、飲み放題でショーも見れて最高でした‼︎

A perfect size group for this expedition. Captain Steve was knowledgeable and interesting.

Best thing we did in Islands. Great staff. Doors off small helicopter was of course windy, but also awesome.

We arranged our dinner plans through Veltra for a great luau experience which was spectacular.
We came to Hawaii for our honeymoon.
Everyone at the luau were very friendly in greeting everyone and keeping us posted on the weather which ended up being nice vs pouring rain.
I hope we can come back again with our kids.

Was amazing experience easily the best dolphin swim I have ever done. We got to see a bit of the coast line and the guides were very friendly we would definitely come back again

Wonderful luau!! Would highly recommend!! Came here with my brother who was visiting and we had a blast. Mahalo!

Kevin made the trip worthwhile. The seas were choppy, the wind was blowing, but the voyage was very worthwhile.. He took two very inexperienced kayakers and made a very safe and enjoyable trip out of it.

We liked it very much. The narratot, the history, the various outfits, the sincerity of all who performed. And yes, the food was good.

I had a wonderful time. The food was also very filling! However, since I am learning hula, I participated with the image of the best hula dancers in mind, so I felt a bit unsatisfied.

楽しいひと時を過ごしました。ご飯もボリューム満点！
ただ、フラを習っているので、最高のフラダンサー達をイメージして参加してしまったので、少し物足らない感じがしてしまいました。

It was amazing, the good was great and entertainment was excellent

Crew members were great, accommodated 6 toddlers very well! Friendly and professional. Great live music and guided tour. Food was excellent and we got to see a school of dolphins swim along with us! Would recommend for sure!

I was able to see the dances of each island in the Pacific, learning about their similarities and differences. There were also efforts made to ensure participants enjoyed themselves, such as celebrating birthdays and cheering together.
The meals offered a considerable variety, and even taking small portions resulted in quite a large amount. As mentioned in previous experiences, the order in which you go to get food is determined by your seating, so it’s not an all-you-can-eat situation from the start time. It might have been tough waiting and getting hungry (laughs).
If you don’t have the opportunity to see traditional shows (or have never eaten traditional cuisine) during your stay, I think this is a great option.

太平洋の島々のそれぞれの踊りを見せてくれて、似たところ違うところを知ることが出来ました。参加者の誕生日を祝ったり、一緒に掛け声をかけたりなど参加者が楽しむための工夫もされています。
食事は結構な種類があり、少しずつ取ってもかなり大量になります。前の体験談にもあるように席によって食事をとりにいく順番が決まっていますので、スタート時刻から食べ放題と言う訳ではありません。待っている間におなかへってツラかったかな（笑）。
滞在中に伝統的なショーを見る機会がない（または伝統料理を食べたことがない）なら、いいとおもいます。

The front seat of the doorless helicopter was by the window.
The endless expanse of lava fields.
The active crater is still erupting.
Since it was daytime, I couldn't see the bright red lava very well, but the long-awaited aerial journey to the ocean entry was amazing!!

お昼間なので真っ赤な溶岩はあまり見れませんでしたが、念願のオーシャンエントリーまでの空の旅は最高でした！！

"Riding out into the bay" means we're already in the Pacific Ocean! While I was wondering if it was really okay, under the excellent guidance of our guide, we smoothly paddled the kayak and successfully tackled the challenge of exploring the caves. After the kayak tour, we returned to Keauhou Bay for snorkeling. I lost track of time as I became completely absorbed in snorkeling with the many fish swimming among the corals. If you look closely, there are people along the shore of Keauhou Bay, but in the middle of the bay, it was just the two of us, which made for an incredibly luxurious activity that left us very satisfied.

「湾の外に乗り出す」って、もうそこは太平洋！本当に大丈夫かななんて思いながらも、ガイドさんの見事な指導のもと、悠然とカヤックを進め、洞窟へのチャレンジも見事にこなしました。カヤックツアーの後はケアウホウ湾に戻ってシュノーケリング。サンゴの間に泳いでいるたくさんの魚と一緒に時間のたつのも忘れてシュノーケルに夢中になっていました。よく見ると、ケアウホウ湾の岸辺には人がいますが、ワンの真ん中はうちの夫婦二人の独占で、なんとも贅沢なアクティビティに大満足でした。

Very exciting to see the dolphins on our outing as well as the tropical fish below. The guide was very knowledgeable and provided lots of info on what we were seeing! Excellent outing.
