伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ（キングカメハメハホテル内）＜ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題／シェルレイ付＞

It was too subtle. 微妙すぎました＾＾；

Reviewed by: 石川　海

I've been to the Big Island several times and always stay at the Kinkame Hotel, so I decided to participate this time... First, after checking in, we lined up at the gathering place for the luau. The gathering was at 4:30, but by 4:00, there were already about six people in line. Right after we lined up, many more started to join, and by the gathering time, there was a long queue. At that time, they asked if we wanted to pay an extra $20; if you said "NO," you stayed as you were. If you said "YES," you were directed to the upgrade line. After that, they started to offer various add-ons, like buying leis. Then, during the photo session, they would come around to sell you photos at your seats later on, which was also about $20. After the photos, we walked over to the luau area. The seats in front of the stage were occupied by those who had paid the extra fee (about ten rows of 18 people each), and we were directed to the rows behind them (the back rows had about 20 blocks of 18 people). However, even those who paid extra but arrived late were only one seat away from ours, so it didn't seem to matter much. We were seated before 5:00, but there was still about two hours until the luau show started; those who paid extra went first to get their food, and after about 200 people finished at the buffet, there was a specific order to follow, so by the time we went to get our food... After a long wait, the show finally started, but there were only about six dancers, so after each song, we had to listen to the host's singing and talking for a while (15 to 20 minutes of changing costumes). There was also a mysterious dance time to the songs... Foreigners might find it fun, but... Anyway, the show dragged on with long intervals, and the food was mediocre; spending $91 on this was truly a waste. By the way, we reached our limit and left midway. I won't be going again.

ハワイ島には何度か来ていて、いつもキンカメホテルに滞在するので今回参加しましたが・・・まず受付後はルアウの集合場所に並びます。４時半に集合ですが４時ですでに６人ほど並んでいました。私たちが並んだ直後から沢山並び始め集合時間には行列に。そして、その時＋２０ドルくらい払うか聞かれ【NO】ならそのまま。【YES】ならランクアップの列に通されます。そしてその後レイを買うか等。。色々＋を勧めて来ます。そして、記念撮影タイムでこちらは後程席まで売りに来ます。これも確か２０ドルくらいです。撮影後ぞろぞろ歩いてルアウの場所へ。そこで舞台前の席は先ほど＋を払った方々が座り（前席1ブロック１８人の列が約１０）並んだ順でその後ろの列に通されました（後ろの席は１ブロック１８人が２０くらいあります）。ただ＋払った人でも来るのが遅かった人は私たちの席と１つしか変わらないのであまり意味無いかな？と思います。席に着いたのが５時前でそこからルアウショーが始まるまで約２時間もありました；食事は＋を払った方が先に取りに行くシステムで２００人がビュッフェを取り終えた後に更にこの列・この列みたいに順番があるのでビュッフェを取りに行った頃には・・・・。そして長い待ち時間のあとやっとショーが始まるのですが、ダンサーが６人くらいしか居ないので１曲踊り終えると必ず進行係の歌やトークをしばらく聞かされます（１５分～２０分着替えの時間稼ぎですね；）。そして謎にその歌に合わせてダンスタイム等があり・・・。外国の方は楽しいと思いますが・・・。とにかくダラダラとショーの間隔が長いうえ、食事も微妙、これで９１ドルは本当にもったいないです。ちなみに限界が来て私たちは途中で退室しました。二度と行きませんね。

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＞

You can enjoy it even if you don't understand English. 英語が分からなくても楽しめる

Reviewed by: ヤジマタツロウ

On the fourth day of our stay on the Big Island, we participated in a tour. I was hesitant about the speedboat and the English tour, but I enjoyed it thoroughly.

In our tour, my wife and I were the only Japanese participants; the others were travelers from the mainland United States. The Americans were cheerful, and there was a lot of excitement among the staff and the guests, as well as among the guests themselves. My wife and I are not good at English, so we felt a bit out of place, but we were prepared for that, so it didn't bother us too much.

On the way to the bay, we were able to see not only dolphins but also a false killer whale (I couldn't understand the English name, so I looked it up after returning to Japan, and I think that's what it was), which was nice to see. The snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay was enjoyable because the terrain is better than at Kahalu'u Beach Park or Hanauma Bay on Oahu. There are some deep areas in the ocean, so my wife said she was scared in places where she couldn't touch the bottom, but they lent us a flotation device, so she was able to snorkel with peace of mind.

The view of the Big Island from the sea was also wonderful, and I believe this tour is worth participating in.

　ハワイ島滞在４日目に参加しました。
スピードボートと英語ツアーに尻込みしていましたが、十分楽しめました。

　私達が参加したツアーは、やはり日本人は私と妻だけ、他はアメリカ本土からの旅行者の方々でした。
　アメリカの人たちは陽気なので、スタッフとツアー客、ツアー客同士でかなり盛り上がってました。
　私と妻は英語がぜんぜん駄目なので、アウェイ感が強かったですが、元々覚悟していたのであまり気になりませんでした。
　湾に行く途中、イルカだけでなく、コビレゴンドウクジラ（英語が分からなく聞けなかったので、日本に帰ってから調べたので、多分そうだと思う）がゆっくり見られて、良かったです。
　ケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングも、カハルウビーチパークやオアフ島のハナウマ湾よりも地形が良い為に楽しめました。海が深い場所もあるので、妻は足が付かないところは怖いと言っていましたが、浮き棒を貸してくれたので、安心してシュノーケリングをやってました。

　海から眺めるハワイ島の景色も素晴らしく、参加する価値のあるツアーだと思います。

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

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: ハワイアン

We, as a couple, enjoyed ourselves at our own pace with only the two of us participating. The sea kayaking, with no other boats nearby, offered breathtaking views and was truly wonderful. The snorkeling was more beautiful than I expected; I was considering diving in Hawaii, but I was completely satisfied with just snorkeling. However, I had read in reviews that photos would be taken, but we didn't receive any, and although it mentioned light snacks, nothing was provided. Kevin's stories were enjoyable, making for a great day.

参加者は私達夫婦のみでマイペースに楽しませてもらいました。他に船も近くにいない中でのシーカヤックは絶景で本当に素敵でした。またシュノーケリングは思った以上に美しく、ハワイでダイビングをしようか悩んでいましたがシュノーケリングだけで大満足でした。ただ、写真を撮って頂けるような事を口コミでみていたのですが一枚もなく、また軽食と書かれていたのに何もついてきませんでした。ケビンさんのお話も楽しく良い日になりました。

This submarine cruise was amazing!! The crew was so friendly and our guide was funny. It was obvious everyone loved their job. Our guide was obviously an experienced diver because he knew so much about all the various fish we saw and had lots of great stories involving the different fish/coral.

The visibility was amazing the day we went. I think I took almost 200 pictures. We were so surprised when we saw 2 shipwrecks on the cruise. Such a fun bonus!

My husband is very outdoorsy and was a little whiny about doing the submarine over an actual snorkel day cruise. He loved the submarine and thought it was so much fun. We will definitely do it again when we're back.

I participated alone. It was about a one-hour aerial walk in a small four-seater helicopter. It was a very valuable experience since it was in a place that you absolutely cannot see from the ground. However, it was a bit disappointing for me since all the explanations were in English and I couldn't understand them. You can take unlimited photos, and they also do a commemorative photo at the end, so it became a great memory.

It was a relaxed show. ゆったりとしたショーでした

Reviewed by: catslove

We were seated at 5 PM, and the actual show started around 7 PM. Until then, we enjoyed drinks, hula experiences, and traditional Hawaiian cuisine. The show featured not only hula but also dances from other islands like Samoa. Between the dances, there were talks and songs from the host, and I thought it might have been more enjoyable if I understood a bit more English. The time flowed leisurely, and depending on the seats, you might not be very close to the stage, so small children might get bored.

17時に着席し、実際にショーが始まるのは19時ごろからでした。それまでは、ドリンクやフラ体験、ハワイの伝統料理などを楽しみました。ショーでは、フラだけでなく、サモアなど、他の島のダンスもありました。ダンスの合間に司会者のトークや歌があり、もう少し英語が分かればもっと楽しかったかなと思います。時間もゆったりと流れますし、席によってはそれほどステージに近くないため、小さなお子様は飽きてしまうかもしれません。

Grand Circle Island Tour - Volcano, Black Sand Beach, Waipio Valley & Waterfalls

Wonderful Tour and Tour Guide, Exceeded Expectations!

Reviewed by: Justine Z

It was my first vacation to the Big Island of Hawaii and I booked a full day circle tour with Wasabi Tours with my boyfriend, in order to get acquainted with the island's landscape and popular destinations. Our tour guide, Kala, was absolutely phenomenal! Not only did he show us all of the beautiful sights and landscapes that the island has to offer but he was also an encyclopedia of information! You could ask Kala almost anything about the island and he would almost certainly have the answer. Kala was a historian, a geographer, a geologist, a horticulturalist and even a sociologist all in one! He was a great story teller! Kala was also extremely hospitable, professional, warm, and inviting--right from the start to the end of the tour!Somehow he managed to keep enthusiastic for the 10+ hour long day. Kala mentioned he used to work in the high end resorts in the North Shore and you can really tell that he did, as he provides extremely professional service. He really went out of his way to make sure the guests were all getting the most out of the experience. When we learned the lava was really high in the Volcanoes National Park, Kala made a few separate attempts to return to the site, as the grounds were extremely steamy that particular day. He REALLY wanted us to see the lava, but it is so sad to say the weather did not cooperate that particular day despite Kala's greatest efforts. Despite this bad luck, we were fortunate enough to see all the other beautiful sites that Wasabi tours promises to take you! Finally, to top the day off, Kala knew how much I wanted to see some of the Hawaiian Honu (sea turtles), and he found me some of those as well! Overall, Wasabi Tours does a really great job preparing a fun and informative day for guests. Ultimately, a big thank you to Kala for keeping us entertained and showing us around the tropical paradise of Hawaii!

Mahalo!

Reviewed by: メルちゃん

I wanted to go snorkeling, so I joined this tour. I was a bit worried because I brought my 85-year-old mother, but the cruise staff prepared various swimming equipment so that anyone, regardless of age, could enjoy themselves. My mother was able to see tropical fish and coral reefs for the first time without getting her face wet, and she was very moved. I felt it was worth bringing her along, and I'm really glad I participated. I was also concerned about seasickness, but it turned out to be completely fine. In fact, my husband took motion sickness medication and ended up feeling sleepy, and I later thought I shouldn't have given it to him. Anyway, the fun time passed in the blink of an eye, and I wished we could have enjoyed it a little longer.

シュノーケリングがやりたくて、このツアーにに参加しました。　ただ８５歳の母を連れてなので、少し心配していましたが、年齢関係なく、楽しむ気があれば誰でも楽しめるように、クルーズのスタッフの方がたが、いろいろな水泳用具を用意してくださり、母も顔に水をつけずに、熱帯魚やサンゴ礁を初めて見ることができ、とても感激しておりました。　私も母を連れて行った甲斐があり、本当に参加して良かったです。　船酔いも心配しましたが、全く大丈夫でした。むしろ、主人は酔い止め薬を飲んで反対に眠くなってしまい、飲ませなければ良かったと後で思いました。　とにかく、楽しい時間があっという間に過ぎた感じで、もう少し楽しんでいたいぐらいでした。

The best! ♪ 最高♪

Reviewed by: YUMIKO

On the day of the trip, the sky over Kealakekua Bay was cloudy, but the water temperature was not as cold as I expected, and I was lucky to swim in the clear sea with a large turtle, which made me very satisfied♪

Along the way, I also saw dolphins three times, which was exciting! They were doing spin jumps and were so cute.

The staff spoke English, but they were friendly and kind. I also received an instruction manual in Japanese.

Overall, ocean rafting was amazing♪

Even though we are in our 40s and 50s, we had a great time♪

You might want to bring motion sickness medication.

After snorkeling, as the reviews mentioned, my body got really cold, and I had to give up on the second snorkeling session. On the way back, the wind felt chilly, so I recommend that women wear a thick hoodie or windbreaker, or even layer up.

During rafting, the sun was strong, and the wind hit my eyes, so wearing sunglasses was definitely the right choice.

On the way back, the waves got particularly high, and the boat bounced quite a bit. It was fun in its own way, but it might be tough for those with back issues (this was also mentioned in the Japanese instruction manual).

We drove from the Marriott Hotel, and it was easy to find; it took less than 30 minutes.

This is a tour I highly recommend and would like to use again.

I will definitely use it next time.

シュノーケル後、口コミどうり体が冷え切り、寒くて２回目のシュノーケルは断念。帰りは風が冷たく感じるので、女子は厚手のパーカーかウインドブレーカーを１枚と言わず重ね着をお薦めします。

帰りは特に波が高くなり、かなりボートが跳ねます。それはそれで楽しかったので最高でしたが、腰の悪い方は確かに キツイかも・・・（日本語の説明書にも記載してありましたが）

Show: Overall, it was great. The female dancers were very graceful, and I was captivated by them. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand the host's jokes because I don't speak English, which was disappointing. The foreigners around me seemed to be enjoying it and laughing.

Food & Drinks: There were more options than I expected, and the food was quite tasty. The Mai Tai and Lava Flow were delicious. It was an all-you-can-drink, but since I can't drink much... I didn't really feel the benefits of the premium seats. I think it's perfectly fine to go early and get seats in the front row of the regular section. The show does pause several times before it gets dark. If you time it right around sunset, you can go to the left side of the stage near the fence, where you can see the ocean and take beautiful sunset photos through the palm trees!

ショー：全体的に良かったです。ダンサーの女性達がとても優雅で見惚れました。英語が解らなかったので、司会の方のジョークが理解出来ず、残念。周りの外人さん達はウケてて楽しそうでした。料理・ドリンク：想像より種類もあり、普通に美味しかったです。マイタイ・ラバフローが美味しかったです。飲み放題でしたが、そんなに飲めない方なので・・・。プレミアムシートのメリットは特に感じませんでした。早い時間に行って、普通席の前列をゲットでぜんぜん良いと思います。ショーは、暗くなるまでに何度か中断します。サンセットタイムで日の入りが近くなった頃を見計らい、ステージに向かって左側のフェンスの方まで行くと海が見え、ヤシの木越しの とても綺麗なサンセットの写真が撮れますよ♪

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＞

Fun snorkeling even for beginners. 初めてでも楽しいシュノーケリング

Reviewed by: MISO

At 60 years old, my spouse and I participated. It was our first time snorkeling, and I was worried about our age, but we signed up after being encouraged by comments from those with experience. We were the only Japanese participants, but the staff and other participants were kind, so we managed even without understanding English.

We received a Japanese instruction manual in advance for the history and location, as well as how to use the snorkel and goggles, but we left without having time to read it. The snorkeling experience was sufficient with just a brief lesson from the instructor. Apparently, Kealakekua Bay is the best snorkeling spot on the Big Island, and there were so many types of fish and coral that we could have watched them forever. I was surprised by the size of the purple sea urchins and the black sea urchins. We were also able to see dolphins perfectly. The rafting on the military rubber boat was thrilling, and I was very satisfied. We made wonderful memories.

However, you really need to be careful about sunburn. Once you get on the rubber boat, you can't let go of the ropes, so it's essential to apply sunscreen all over your body before boarding. I forgot to apply it on the underside of my feet and ended up with a bad sunburn on my unprotected calves. I brought a cream-type sunscreen from Japan, but all the foreign participants were using spray sunscreen. There are super strong sprays with SPF 100 available, so I recommend buying sunscreen locally. It's a good idea to read the instructions, consider the time needed to apply sunscreen perfectly, and check in early. I would like to participate again when I come to the Big Island.

６０歳、夫婦で参加しました。シュノーケリングは初めてだし年齢的にも心配しましたが、参加経験者のコメントに後押しされ申込しました。日本人は我々２人だけでしたが、スタッフも他の参加者の方々も親切にしてくれたので、英語はわからなくても何とかなりました。

歴史や場所について、シュノーケルやメガネの使い方は、日本語の説明書を事前にくれましたが、読む間もなく出発。シュノーケリングは、インストラクターのワンポイントレッスンだけでも十分でした。アラケクア湾はハワイ島で一番のシュノーケリングポイントらしいですが、魚も珊瑚も種類が多く、いつまで見ていても飽きません。ムラサキウニやバフンウニが大きいことにびっくり。イルカもバッチリ見ることができました。軍用ゴムボートでのラフティングもスリルがあり、大満足。楽しい思い出ができました。

しかし、日焼けには本当に注意が必要です。ゴムボートに乗ってからは、ロープから手を離せなくなるので、乗船前に日焼け止めを全身に塗ることが必須です。私は、足の裏側に塗り忘れ失敗しました。シュノーケリング中に、無防備だったふくらはぎがひどく日焼けしてしまいました。私の日焼け止めは日本から持参したクリームタイプですが、外国の参加者は皆さんスプレー式の日焼け止めを使っていました。SPF100という超強力スプレーもあるので、日焼け止めは現地で買うのがお薦めです。説明書を読み、日焼け止めを完璧に塗る時間を考え、早めにチェックインするのが良いですね。また、ハワイ島に来たら参加したいと思います。

I was able to meet a family of whales!! 鯨の家族にも会えた！！

Reviewed by: J.O

We set sail on the Zodiac and within less than 20 minutes, we unexpectedly encountered a family of whales. It was an astonishing surprise when a baby whale swam beneath the boat, and both the participants and the guide were thrilled. We could even hear their calls through the underwater microphone. After playing with the whales for about 30 minutes, we moved the boat forward for about 10 minutes and encountered another family of whales. It was an unexpected experience. After finishing snorkeling in the beautiful sea with Captain Cook's monument, a large pod of dolphins appeared, swimming around the boat, and we lost track of time as we all cheered together. It’s rare to have such encounters with whales and dolphins, but we had an unexpected experience, making it a wonderful tour.

ソディアック号で出港して20分足らずで何と鯨の家族とバッタリ遭遇。子鯨がボートの下で泳ぐというビックリするようなハプニングで参加者はじめガイドさんも大興奮。水中マイクで鳴き声まで聞けました。30分程鯨と遊んでから10分ほどボートを進めると別な鯨の家族と遭遇。思いがけない体験ができました。キャプテンクックのモニュメントがある綺麗な海でのシュノーケリングを終えると今度はイルカの大群が現れボートの周辺を泳ぎ、時を忘れて皆で歓声を上げました。今回ほど鯨やイルカと会えることは珍しいとのことですが、思いかけない体験ができ、素晴らしいツアーになりました。

Snorkel and whales

Reviewed by: Emma

Fabulous time, saw young humpbacks repeat breeches very close to the boat. Best part was when the sails were up. Well worth it.
