All Reviews for For 7 Year Olds

Not my favorite, but would recommend it. I would go the one at the Royal Kona Resort.

This was the most amazing trip ever! The canoe was perfect for my family as we all get motion sickness and everyone was fine but mom. It was a quick trip out and you are in the water immediately snorkeling with the manta rays. We had two that just kept coming straight towards our faces (one even brushed dad). It was the most amazing experience and our guides, Kat and Rob made the whole experience so pleasant. We highly recommend this trip!!!!

It was disappointing that the sea wasn't very beautiful due to the cloudy weather, but I enjoyed a relaxing cruise and snorkeling. You need to get to the meeting point on your own (I took a round-trip bus. I got a bit flustered when I mistakenly went to the wrong bus stop on the way back). The staff primarily speak English, but if you print out your reservation details and show them at the counter, it's fine even if you can't speak English (I can't speak it at all). Also, I forgot to make the pre-call by the day before, but it was no problem when I arrived at the meeting point an hour early on the day of the tour. There seemed to be over 50 people on the tour, and we were the only Japanese, but the local staff were very accommodating and seemed familiar with Japanese people, so there were no issues.

当日は曇っていた為、海がそこまできれいではなかったのが残念でしたが、のんびりクルージングとシュノーケルが楽しめました。
集合場所までは自力で行く必要があります（往復バスで行きました。帰りのバス乗り場を間違えてちょっと焦りました）。スタッフは基本英語ですが、事前に予約内容を印刷していきカウンターで見せれば英語が話せなくても問題ありません（自分は全く話せません）。また、前日までの事前電話を忘れてしまっていたのですが、当日1時間早く集合場所へ行ったら問題ありませんでした。ツアーは50人以上いたようで、日本人は自分たちだけでしたが、現地スタッフは非常に対応が良く、日本人にも慣れているようで問題ありませんでした。

MY 12 YEAR OLD GRANDSON AND I WENT ON A DOORS OFF VOCANO TOUR WITH ROBERT AS OUR PILOT. AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING EXPERIENCE, TOTALLY UNIQUE AND WORTH EVERY SINGLE CENT OF THE COS, FROM CHECK IN TO DEPARTURE. SOMETHING THAT BOTH OD US WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER. THANKS FOR A DELIGHTFUL EXPERIENCE!!!

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。

My wife was hesitant to attend but did so as it was something I wanted to do. Afterwards she stated how much fun she had. The food was great and she loved the show.
Great job.

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!

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.

Great tour of volcanoes and waterfalls, definitely would recommend. Pilot Paul was a great guide and wonderful with the kids.

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.

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.

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!

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.

This is by far the best dinner cruise on the Island ,music,dancing,and a fun time ,The food was outstanding ,the crew could not do enough for you ,this would be a first for me 10 out 10 ,and bonus seen dolpins again ,top sunset .
,
And CPt Cook site

This is a top day out .with a lovely Hawaii style breekie and lunch .,the best boat lots of room ,very professional done ,in a relaxed and fun filled day ,lots of Dolphins ,highly recommend

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.

I took my 5-year-old daughter to this luau. She loved it! She referred to the fire dancer as David from Lilo and Stitch. The food was amazing, though it took a while to get to since it's buffet style and lots of people to feed. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Kona.

It was a very fun way to see the volcano. The pilot made sure everyone could see everything available.

Thanks to the guide's kind and easy-to-understand instructions, we were able to efficiently enjoy sea kayaking and snorkeling. The "two-hour early morning" session was just right for us beginners, especially since we didn't have much time in Kona and had just arrived. It also served as a great reference for when we went snorkeling on our own afterward. The guide also provided helpful information about other sightseeing options. Thank you very much!

ガイドさんの親切でわかりやすい案内でシーカヤックとシュノーケルを効率よく楽しむことができました。「早朝２時間」という内容が、コナ滞在時間があまりなく初心者の私たちにはちょうどよく、また到着直後でもあったのでその後自分たちでシュノーケルをするときの参考にすることもできました。このツアー以外の観光情報も教えてもらい、役に立ちました。ありがとうございました！

Paid for the preferred Alii VIP seating so we were front and center and got our drinks served to us. We have been to two other Luaus, and we have to say this one had the best food and drinks. But the Luau at the Hilton on Maui had the best show. But of the two Luaus we attended on the Big Island this one was the better of the two.

We arrived at the marina early, applied sunscreen thoroughly, and felt the excitement build. The captain was cheerful, and among the 15 people, there were four of us from Japan: my husband, our friends, and me. We held on tightly to the ropes as we set off, experiencing thrilling rafting that made us feel like we were being tossed into the rough waves. There were many young couples around us, but we, even at our age, enjoyed ourselves just as much as the older group celebrating their 70s. The snorkeling spot we reached was absolutely wonderful, and along the way, dolphins jumped around and followed our 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 couldn't access, allowing us to enjoy 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。

I experienced a luau. The location was by the sea, with beautiful scenery, a great show, and delicious food. My husband also liked it and said it was good. It became a wonderful memory of the Big Island. The dancers were very nice and we were able to take pictures with them at the end, getting to see them up close. They were very pleasant and accommodating. It was great.

ルアウを体験しました。場所も海沿いで、綺麗な景色とショー、食事も美味しく良かったです。主人も気に入り、良かったと。ハワイ島の良い思い出になりました。ダンサーの方々も最後に一緒に写真を、撮る事が出来、間近で見る事が出来ました。すごく感じ良く対応してくださりました。良かったです。

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♪

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...

It was good the people were very nice! If you don't like to snorkel then this will be great for you!

Tour Guide was great!!!!!! Great Value!

Would suggest that you have passengers switch seats during the tour. Unfortunately we get the back seats and the viewing is not as good as the seats further towards the front. Also it was harder to talk to the guide from back there. Might be nice if halfway thru the tour everyone switch seats.

We had a wonderful time. Our driver, Hugh, was great. He was very nice, friendly, informative and patient. We saw a lot of beautiful things and he watched the time for us. We were with a good group, too. He allowed the proper amount of time at each stop. Tha lunch that was included with our package was great. The view from our table was fantastic and so was the service. Hugh waited patiently with us for one of our passengers to find and retrieve her phone. It was a wonderful day and it exceeded our expectations. We were very happy we chose this tour and would highly recommend it.

Very enjoyable. Would recommend this cruise to couples. Staff are friendly.

We participated as a couple. Most of the tour participants were American, so there was a bit of an away feeling, but one of the participants kindly spoke to us in slow, clear English since we didn't understand much.

We encountered many dolphins, and snorkeling was fun. But above all, the high-speed boat was thrilling! However, after snorkeling, the wind was quite strong and cold, so a jacket is necessary!

夫婦で参加。ツアー参加者はアメリカ人ばかりでアウェイ感はありましたが、参加者の一人が英語がわからない私たちに、ゆっくりと分かりやすい英語で話しかけてくれて助かりました。
イルカにも沢山出会えましたし、シュノーケルも楽しかったです。
でも、何といっても高速ボートがスリル満点‼
ただ、シュノーケルの後は風がかなり当たって寒いので、上着は必要です‼
