As the reviews mentioned, everything was in English, but it's a tour where you hardly need to converse, so I think even those who are not confident can participate. I mentioned that I was a beginner, but we got into the kayak and suddenly paddled out to sea. Surprisingly, it was quite stable, and there was no risk of capsizing in the ocean. The sea cave was a bit different from what I imagined, but paddling out into the vast ocean was a fun experience. After snorkeling, the guide passed us pineapples, snacks, and drinks via the kayak. It was fun to connect the kayaks with a rope and pass the bag around. On the way back, we ended up drifting away from the group, and the guide tied a rope to my kayak and pulled me back. I applied sunscreen, but since the weather was nice, I recommend bringing it on the kayak and reapplying it several times.
口コミ通りすべて英語でしたが、ほぼ会話の必要のないツアーですので
自信のない方も参加可能かと思います。
初心者と伝えましたが、とりあえずカヤックに乗り込みいきなり海に漕ぎ出しました。
意外と安定感があり海でも転覆するようなことはありません。
シーケーブは想像とちょっと違いましたが、とにかく大海原へのカヤック漕ぎは楽しい経験となりました。
シュノーケリングの後は、ガイドさんがパイナップルやスナック、ドリンクをカヤックつてで渡してくれます。カヤックをロープでつないでみんなで袋を回していく感じで楽しいです。
戻る時には群れからどんどん離れてしまい、ガイドさんのカヤックにロープにつないでひっぱってくれました。
日焼け止めを塗ってましたが、天気がよくカヤックに持ち込み何度か塗りなおすことをお勧めします。

My 9-year-old daughter is learning horseback riding, and we wanted to let her experience it in nature, so our family of four participated.
On the day of the event, we drove there with a rental car and were able to find the meeting point easily using Google Maps. After signing a liability waiver and a short bathroom break, we set off.
We went down to the valley in a large 4WD vehicle, which was really thrilling and fun! There was a Japanese guide from another tour with us, and it was great to hear the explanations together. The guide talked about the plants around us, but since there were about ten of us in a line, there were times when it was hard to hear the guide's voice. A friendly dog that was close to the horses also joined us, which was very cute.
The ladies at the small souvenir shop at the meeting point were very nice, and we chatted with them a bit. We rode for about an hour and a half, which made our backsides sore, but we also experienced some rain, walked through a river, and it was quite challenging to control the horses as they kept eating grass.
At one point, I got too close to the horse in front of me, and my horse almost bolted, which was a bit scary. If you're worried, it might be a good idea to get travel insurance, as horses are living creatures and anything can happen.
Overall, I think it was a very valuable experience. You can't see that kind of nature in Japan. The children made wonderful memories.
9歳の娘が乗馬を習っていて、大自然の中で乗せたくて、家族4人で参加しました。
当日はレンタカーで行きましたが、Google Mapsで集合場所にちゃんと行けました。
自己責任のサインをして、少しトイレタイムがあってから出発でした。
谷まで4WDの大きな車で降りるのですが、すごくスリリングで面白かった!
他のツアーの日本語ガイドさんが一緒で、一緒に説明を聞けて良かったです。
回りに生えている植物について説明してくれましたが、総勢10人位で1列になって進むので、ガイドさんの声が聞き取りずらい時もありましたが。馬たちと仲良しの犬も付いてきて、とても可愛かったです。
集合場所にある小さいお土産屋さんのおばさん達がとても感じがよくて、色々お話をしました。
全部で1時間半くらい乗馬してるので、お尻が痛くなりましたが、途中、雨も降ったり、川の中を歩いたり、馬たちが草を食べるのでなかなかコントロールが難しかったです。
途中、私は前の馬と近づき過ぎて、私の馬が暴走しそうになり、少しヒヤッとしました。
心配な方は旅行保険に入った方がいいかも知れません。馬は生き物なので、何があるかわかりませんので。
全体にはとても貴重な体験だと思います。日本で、あの大自然は見られません。

We went to Hawaii to celebrate my parents' 60th birthday. Since we were in Hawaii, I wanted to do something truly Hawaiian, so I signed up for this tour. Neither my parents nor I had any experience with horseback riding, and we were very worried before getting on the horses, but the moment I mounted the horse, all my anxiety disappeared, and I felt excited. For about an hour and a half, we enjoyed a leisurely ride, listening to the sound of the hooves and breathing in the fresh air of nature. My parents said that this horseback riding experience was the highlight of our time on the Big Island.
The tour was conducted entirely in English, so everyone except us were foreign participants. Even if you don't speak any Japanese, the guides communicate in broken Japanese, saying things like "stand" and "danger," so I don't think you need to worry too much.
Also, it takes about 25 minutes to travel from the meeting point to the riding area by wagon. I saw some comments mentioning that the travel time was long, but that's because we slowly descended the steepest slope in the U.S., and the guide explained the scenery we could see from the window, making it not boring at all; in fact, it was fresh, adventurous, and fun!
It was also more affordable than Japanese tours, and I was very satisfied!
両親の還暦祝いにハワイに行きました。
せっかくハワイ島に来たからには、ハワイらしいことがしたいと思い、こちらのツアーを申込みました。
僕も両親も、乗馬の経験は皆無で、乗る前までは非常に心配していましたが、馬にまたがった瞬間、これまでの不安は消え去り、ワクワクした気持ちになりました。そこから約1時間半、のんびり馬にまたがりながら、蹄のコツコツという音と、大自然の新鮮な空気を吸いながら過ごす時間は最高のものでした。両親も、この乗馬がハワイ島で一番のハイライトだと言っていました。
ツアー自体は全て英語で行われるため、ぼくたち以外は皆外国人の参加者でした。全く日本語が出来なくても、カタコトの日本語で「立って」や、「あぶない」など言ってくれるので、そんなに心配は要らないと思います。
また、集合場所から馬乗り場まではワゴンで25分ほど移動します。移動時間が長いというコメントもお見かけしましたが、それは全米1の急斜面をゆっくり下るためと、ガイドが車窓から見える景色を説明してくれているからであって、全く退屈せず、むしろ新鮮でアドベンチャラスで楽しかったです!
日本語のツアーよりもお値ごろでしたし、大満足です!!

I planned to arrive 15 minutes before the opening, as I heard that this show tends to get quite crowded. However, the "Kamehameha Court" is located beyond the "Lagoon Tower," which is the farthest from the "Ocean Tower" where I'm staying. Even using the tram, it's best to allow at least 15 minutes for the journey.
Thanks to arriving early, I was able to secure a seat right in the middle, which offered the best view. (By the way, I booked a standard seat.)
I believe the show is the "Tropical Show" held at "Spa Resort Hawaiian," which I saw in a TV commercial before.
If you don't have a relaxed attitude of "enjoying the show while having a meal," some people might end up disappointed. I thought, "In any case, I'm going to have a meal, so I can enjoy a drink without my wife nagging me!" The participation fee is also quite high, so it varies depending on each person's style.
このショーは、結構混雑するらしいとのことで、開場15分前には到着するつもりでした。
しかしながら、『カメハメハコート』は、当方が滞在している『オーシャン・タワー』から一番遠い『ラグーン・タワー』の先にあります。
『トラム』を使っての移動でも15分は見ておいた方が無難です。
早く到着した甲斐もあり、開場のど真ん中の一番見やすい席を確保することができました。
(因みに、私が申し込んだのはスタンダードシートです。)
ショーの内容は、以前テレビコマーシャルで見た『スパリゾート・ハワイアン』で行われている『南国のショー』がこれに当たるのだと思います。
『食事を摂りながらショーも楽しむ!』ぐらいのおおらかさがないと、失望される方もいらっしゃるのではないでしょうか?
私は、『何れにせよ食事も摂るのだし、家内にぐだぐだ言われすにお酒が飲める!』との考えでした。
参加費用も高いので、各々のスタイルにより変わってくると思います。

As the only Japanese participant who didn't understand English that day, I approached the experience with a spirit of challenge. I was given a brochure with clear explanations in Japanese about the ship and the whales. While the staff were attentive with drinks and other services, I felt that there was a slight lack of effort in helping customers spot the whales. I was able to see a few jumps and blows faintly, but I thought the price for this activity was too high, even considering the cost of living.
この日の日本人参加者が、英語の分からない自分1人だったこともあり、どうなる事か…と、チャレンジ精神で臨みました。日本語で分かりやすく記載されている船内やクジラの説明のリーフレットを渡されました。係員の方々は、飲み物など、気を配ってくださいましたけれど、肝心なクジラをお客様に探して見てもらおうといった姿勢が若干欠けていたと感じました。
ジャンプやブローは何回かうっすらと見れましたが、このアクティビティ料金では(物価が高いとは言え)高すぎると思いました。

We’ve taken this cruise several times and love it every time! The food is excellent, the crew is so accommodating, the music is relaxing and Captain Rick is the best. The water was a little ruff so the crew waited on us hand and foot. Captain Rick was funny and went further out in the ocean to avoid a rain shower on the way back so everyone didn’t get soaked. Oh! And Boyd is full of history stories about the island. We strongly recommend this dinner cruise for everyone. There were 2 elderly people on the cruise and the crew got them on board and to their seat safely. We would rather take this cruise then go to a luau. Great job Body Glove!

My trip to the Big Island always includes this snorkeling cruise.
First, we enjoyed a breakfast of fresh fruits and muffins. Along the way, we encountered whales and dolphins, and then headed to Captain Cook's destination. We had a fantastic time snorkeling in the beautiful sea and indulged in a BBQ lunch with hamburgers on board.
During snorkeling, even though I was in shallow water up to my knees, the current was strong, and I was swept away, becoming a feast for sea urchins. Thanks to my fins, I managed to protect the soles of my feet, but I ended up with 30 spines in my left ring finger, 20 in my right index finger, and countless others that I discovered later. I thought I had to remove them right there, so I endured the pain and pulled them out, somehow making it back to the boat. I was pushed back by the waves multiple times, leaving my knees and thighs covered in cuts and bruises, and I had significant bruising on my ribs, but the pain from the sea urchin stings was unbearable. My left ring finger swelled up black and was completely immobile, and even a light touch caused excruciating pain... the power of the sea urchin is terrifying.
The staff treated me with vinegar, which eased the intense pain a bit, but it was still an extraordinary level of discomfort. If you are careful about the current in shallow waters and the sea urchins, you can have a wonderful time!

今回、シュノーケルをしている時に、膝下ぐらいしかない浅瀬にもかかわらず、潮の流れが強く、身体がどんどん流され、見事にウニの餌食…
足ヒレのお陰でなんとか足裏はガード出来ましたが、左手薬指に30本、右手人差し指に20本、その他後から傷口見たら数え切れないほどの長い針が刺さってしまいました。とにかくその場で抜かねば、と思い、痛みをこらえ抜き取り、なんとか船へ戻りました。何度も潮に押し戻されたので膝と太腿は切り傷にアザだらけ、肋骨は打撲とかなりの怪我でしたが、ウニに刺された部分がとにかく痛すぎでした。左手薬指は真っ黒に腫れ上がり全く曲げられず、ちょっと触るだけでも激痛…恐るべしウニパワー…

The meeting time was 7:30, but we were actually called to the boat around 8:00. I guess it's the laid-back Thai time… I was a bit disappointed since I woke up quite early.
The meeting place is very hard to find; it's the building on the beach adjacent to the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort. It feels more like a makeshift hut than a beach house.
The weather was great on the day, and we were able to see whales about 12 times. My mother, who joined me, seemed very satisfied! However, it was quite cold, so having a windbreaker or something similar would be a good idea.
The explanations were only in English, and there were no brochures or anything. They will say, "Look in the direction of the time!" in English, so please make sure to look quickly in that direction!!
When getting off the boat, you will get wet up to your knees, so I definitely recommend participating in a skirt or pants that can be rolled up!

The guide spoke English and was very friendly, accustomed to dealing with Japanese guests.
Basically, it's a tour where you enjoy swimming with dolphins and then go snorkeling at the coral reefs of Kealakekua Bay. There were six guests on the Zodiac boat, but it seemed like that was the maximum capacity.
Light snacks included chips and fruits (pineapple, papaya, grapes), and drinks were also provided.
On the day I participated, I was very satisfied as I got to swim with pilot whales and manta rays. The snorkeling at the coral reef and the cave guide were included, and considering that they even chased after humpback whales when it was time to return, I thought it was surprisingly good value compared to tours that just do dolphin snorkeling and head back right away. It's also a plus that it's very close from the Sheraton.
ガイドは英語ですが、日本人相手に慣れていて、とても親切です。
基本的に、イルカと泳ぐのを楽しんだ後、ケアラケクア湾の珊瑚礁でスノーケリングをするというツアーです。ゾディアックボートにお客さんは6人乗りましたが、これ以上は無理そう。
軽食はスナック菓子とフルーツ(パイナップル、パパイヤ、ブドウ)でした。飲み物もあります。
私が参加した日は、ゴンドウクジラ、マンタとも一緒に泳ぐことができて大満足でした。珊瑚礁でのシュノーケリングや洞窟ガイドもついていて、帰る時間になってもザトウクジラを追いかけてくれたことを考えると、イルカシュノーケリングだけですぐ帰るツアーと比べて、意外と割安かなと思いました。

Last year, I participated in a dolphin tour with a Japanese guide, so when I compare the two experiences, I felt a sense of neglect here. Since it was an English tour, I couldn't catch much anyway, and the explanations were brief, plus there was no guide who entered the water with us. However, as soon as we got into the water, there were a lot of dolphins. They came really close, and I could see even the little scratches on their backs clearly. After that, while moving to another snorkeling spot, they looked for whales, and we were actually able to see one. The snorkeling was in a very clear area, and on the way back, they shared stories about the Big Island of Hawaii. I think it would have been even better if I could speak English, but I had a great experience.
去年は日本人のガイドさんのイルカツアーに参加していたので、比較してみると放置感はありました。英語のツアーなのでどうせ聞き取れないのですが、説明も短く一緒に海に入ってくれるガイドさんはいませんでした。それでも海に入ったとたんたくさんのイルカがいました。

This is my second time (the first time I applied directly).
It's difficult to get there on your own, but we go all the way down to Waipi'o Valley.
The horses are well-trained, and you can enjoy horseback riding with a simple lecture.
(They walk on their own without you having to do anything. Haha.)
Since they are living creatures, they stop along the way to eat grass as they please,
and they also take bathroom breaks while walking (which is another memory).
We even crossed a river. It was swollen from the rain a few hours earlier, but the horses moved forward without hesitation.
They also take commemorative photos for you.
Please enjoy the lush green trees, flowers, and horses of Waipi'o.

We participated as a family of four. Our family was the only group on the tour, and we had one female guide with us. After preparing the saddles, we received instructions on how to ride and handle the horses. Everything was in English, but as long as you closely follow the guide's movements, you'll be fine! The handling instructions were just four basic commands: "go," "stop," "right," and "left," so it wasn't difficult.
And finally, we set off! Along the way, we even challenged ourselves to a canter while climbing up the vast ranch towards the mountains, and when we looked back, the stunning view of the Kohala Coast came into sight. It was a wonderful view, and I'm sure you can enjoy a refreshing feeling.
All the horses are well-trained and safe, but each horse has its own personality. The horse I rode seemed to dislike mud and chose to walk on dry ground, even if it meant staying away from the other horses. In contrast, the horse my wife rode seemed to love water and splashed right into the puddles. While we experienced a bit of the difficulty in controlling the horses, it was a fun time. I highly recommend that everyone try this experience!
[Additional Note]
The wind from the mountains felt cold, so even if it's sunny, I think it's better to borrow a jacket. Also, the horses will walk through puddles and muddy areas, so your shoes might get wet or dirty, so it's advisable to borrow boots as well. Both are available for free.
家族4人で参加しました。ツアー参加者は私たち家族のみ。ガイド役の女性が一人付いてくれました。鞍の装着などの準備が整い、次に馬の乗り方や扱い方の説明を受けました。全て英語ですが、ガイドさんの動きをよく見てその通りにすれば大丈夫! 馬の扱い方といっても『進め』『止まれ』『右に』『左に』という4つの基本的な動きの伝え方だけなので難しくありませんでした。
そしていよいよ出発です。途中、駆け足にも挑戦しながら広大な牧場を山の方に向かってどんどん登っていき、振り返るとコハラコーストの絶景が目に飛び込んできました。素晴らしい眺めです。爽快な気分が味わえるはずです。
どの馬もよく調教されていて危なくはありませんが、各々の馬に個性があります。私が乗った馬は「ぬかるみ」が嫌いらしく、他の馬から離れてでも乾いたところを選んで歩きました。と思えば妻が乗った馬は水に入るのが好きなようで水たまりにジャブジャブと入ります。思い通りに動かす難しさを少々味わいながらも楽しい時間でした。皆さんもぜひ体験してください!
【追記】
山からの風は冷たく感じましたので晴れていてもジャケットは借りたほうがいいと思います。また、水たまりやぬかるんだところを馬が進みます。靴が濡れたり汚れたりすることもあるかもしれませんのでブーツも借りたほうがいいと思います。いずれも無料でお借りできます。

The view from above was great, it felt like watching drone footage.
I wanted to see the lava that flowed from the recent eruptions up close.
I couldn't get close enough with the rental car.
It was cold up there, so I recommend bringing a raincoat.
上空からの眺めは良かった、ドローンの映像をみてるようでした。
近年噴火して流れ出た溶岩がまじかで見たかった。
レンタカーでは近くまで行けなかったため。
上空は寒く、カッパを持参することをお勧めします。

This tour provided a great overview of the island. The stops were timed well for bathroom/stretch purposes. We made a couple unscheduled fun stops/detours which was great. Nate had a lot of info to share amd was very knowledgable. Food was very yummy and Nate even found an orchid shopnfor us to eat at while it was pouring outside. Overall great experience.

I was thrilled to see the whales jump multiple times. The boat rocked, but I was so focused on searching for the whales that I didn't feel seasick and enjoyed myself.
クジラのジャンプを何回も見ることができて感激しました。船は揺れましたが、クジラを探すことに夢中になっていたため船酔いもなく楽しめました。

Since my accommodation was in Kailua-Kona, I had to make my way to the meeting point on foot. However, the public parking was difficult to find, which made me quite anxious, so it's necessary to check in advance. The tour exceeded my expectations as I was able to see whales up close, which was fantastic. However, the boat does rock quite a bit, so I think those who are prone to seasickness should prepare accordingly.
滞在先がカイルアコナだったので地力で集合
場所まで行かなければならなかったですが
パブリックパーキングが判り辛く、かなり焦り
ましたので事前のチェックが必要です。
ツアーの内容は予想以上に近くでクジラを
見る事が出来て大変良かったです。
ただし、船はかなり揺れますので、船酔いの
心配な方はそれなりに準備した方が良いと思います。

I was able to see whales from a distance. Watching the whales swimming leisurely as a couple was soothing, and I definitely want to participate again!
遠目でしたが、鯨を見ることが出来ました。ユッタリとカップルで泳ぐ鯨達を見て癒やされました、ぜひもう一度参加したい!
