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>

I was able to see a whale!! クジラを見れました!!

Reviewed by: ゆっきー

I was moved to see whales up close! I was able to see whales not just once, but multiple times. I also encountered a pod of dolphins, which made me very satisfied. The cruising experience itself was pleasant, and it was truly a recommended tour.

クジラを近くで見ることができて感動しました!
一度だけではなく何度もクジラを見ることができました。
イルカの群れにも遭遇し、大満足です。
クルージング自体も気持ちよくて、本当におすすめのツアーでした。

Sea Quest Kealakekua Bay Snorkel Tour & Rafting Sea Cave Expedition

Worth every penny!

Reviewed by: Michelle

We are typically do-it-yourselfers and were initially skeptical about going on a guided tour. This tour turned out to be so worth it! Captain Brendan and crewmember Tuliz were very knowledgeable, competent, and friendly. We happened to see whales at close range along the way, and our guides made the most of it. The snorkeling at Captain Cook is magnificent. A fantastic experience all around!

Deluxe Captain Cook Snorkeling Tour at Kealakekua Bay - Fair Wind Cruises

Great experience!

Reviewed by: Megan

We had the best experience with our two five-year olds! They were both got a little nervous about the snorkeling and the crew patiently offered different options until they agreed to the kick boards with lenses. A big hit!! We saw a variety of fish and enjoyed the beauty (and history) of Cooke Cove The slides were also entertaining as the kids watched different people (including mom and dad) zoom down!! If you are concerned about the all veg breakfast and lunch, don’t be. As meat eaters, we all agreed the food was outstanding. To top it off, the Captain’s historical knowledge and witty comments made the ride to and from the coral reefs a lot of fun. We highly recommend tour!

Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona

Amazing experience. Great crew!

Reviewed by: Steve712

If you do one thing on the west side of the big island this is it. Words and pictures don't do the experience justice. The crew of the boat was safety conscious and the captain ran a tight ship. As a passenger we felt in good hands. Do your homework about what this tour involves. If you cannot swim and/or are afraid of the water this is NOT FOR YOU!!!. This tour had 1/2 a dozen non-swimmers on the tour. They were miserable and the crew had to spend an inordinate time catering to them.

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

Thank you for their support!! 親切なサポートに感謝!! Thanks for their support!!

Reviewed by: yukimonkey

We participated in a two-person kayak with six people in total. At first, it was very refreshing to paddle through the beautiful sea, but as we got out into the open water, there were some waves, and my two sons got seasick. We managed to reach the cave, but we decided to turn back halfway. One of the two instructors helped us by pulling back the kayak that had one of my sons who got sick and couldn't paddle anymore. Although we felt like we were causing trouble, they helped us with smiles and no complaints, which was really appreciated. Everyone, don't forget to take motion sickness medication when sea kayaking. I feel like we could have enjoyed it even more if there had been snorkeling, but it was fun even up to that point, and it left a good memory. Also, the activity I participated in was conducted entirely in English.

二人乗りのカヤック3つに6人が乗る形で参加しました。
最初は綺麗な海の中をカヤックで進んでいくのは非常に爽快でしたが、外海に出るに連れて少し波もあったため
息子2人が海で酔ってしまいました。
洞窟の前までは行けたんですが、途中で帰ることに。インストラクターの2人のうち1人が、1人が酔ったため疲れて進まなくなったカヤックを1つずつ引っ張って連れて帰ってくれました。
迷惑をかけてしまいましたが嫌な顔せず、笑顔で助けてくれて本当に助かりました。皆さん、シーカヤックでは酔い止めは忘れずに。
本当であればシュノーケリングもあってもっと楽しめたと気もしますが、途中まででも楽しかったし、十分記憶には残ったので良かったです。
あと、私が参加したアクティビティは完全英語でした。

Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona

Outstanding trip out, small group and great crew!

Reviewed by: Jenny

We arrived slightly late and the crew kindly waited a bit for us. There was only 4 of us which made the experience felt a lot more enjoyable - it was not crowded or noisy! No jostling of people.

Once out there, we got in the water smoothly and saw 2 rays, 3 times. Unfortunately, the ray sightings have reduced in recent years so we considered ourselves lucky! Highly recommend it all round!

Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour Adventure on a Hawaiian Sailing Canoe

Book Eka Tour - You won’t regret it!!!

Reviewed by: L Family

Eka snorkeling with manta rays was amazing. The small, personalized tour is a great way to see the rays. Loved the classic canoe. This was perfect for ray family and I can recommend this tour group highly enough. Kai was great - he is so knowledgeable about the rays and he calmed my 9 y.o.’s fears -he on spectrum and they were very flexible in how we got him into the water and to the board. My son can’t stop talking about how great this experience was-he can’t wait to go again. Book this tour - you won’t regret it. The entire group was accommodating and friendly and made this the best adventure of our Hawaiian trip. Thank you Eka.

Can't Miss Attraction at A-Bay!

Reviewed by: Neverstopexploring

We really enjoyed the glass bottom boat cruise. We had a frustrating experience earlier with snorkeling and we were happy to have an opportunity to see the reefs and the fish from the comfort of a boat. We even got to see some sea turtles under the boat! We also thought that the price for the cruise was more reasonable than many of the attractions in Hawaii. After the cruise we went hiking on the beautiful Ala Kahakai Trail which extends north from A-Bay. The glass bottom boat cruise is a can't miss experience on the Big Island!

Dolphin Quest Hawaii - Dolphin Swim & Encounter at Hilton Waikoloa Village

Loved it

Reviewed by: Maja

This was an amazing experience—the dolphins were incredible. We got to hug them, touch them all over, and swim next to them with our hand on their back but not holding on to them. Maddie, our guide, was so warm and informative. I would recommend bringing goggles (swimming or snorkeling) so that you can put your head underwater with your eyes open to see the dolphins swimming under you. I’m surprised that isn’t recommended. Digital photos are VERY expensive ($170 for all of the photos they took, or $55 for one digital photo). That said, it’s a once in a life time experience, so you’ll probably want some photos.
