Volcano Lava Ocean Boat Tour - Daytime, Sunrise & Sunset Active Lava Viewing

Great job Veltra - Lousy Acitivty provider (Lava Ocean Tours, Inc.)

Reviewed by: Bernard

The agency Veltra was very easy to work with. They were very responsive and quite professional. They made scheduling the tour easy. The activity provider I did the tour with was called Lava Ocean Tours Inc. The captain was very rude and unprofessional. He was short and condescending. Most passengers were taken back by his attitude. I would not recommend this tour if Veltra gets you on boat from Lava Ocean Tours, Inc.

野生のイルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜朝食・昼食付き＞

I get seasick, but my wife is very satisfied. 私は船酔い、妻は大満足

Reviewed by: Miya

My wife and I participated together. Due to traveling from Japan the day before, I was sleep-deprived, possibly because of jet lag, and ended up feeling seasick despite the boat not rocking much. I ate the breakfast bread served on board and saw dolphins from the boat, but other than that, I mostly slept.

However, my wife, who loves marine sports, was able to see several dolphins swimming very close by. When we anchored near a cape about an hour away from the pier in Kona, she was very satisfied as she used a snorkel to dive. It seems that for those who already enjoy marine sports, this tour offers a high level of satisfaction.

The staff, who at first glance appeared intimidating, were actually quite kind. While I was waiting for the restroom to become available on the boat, one of the staff quickly noticed and guided me to another restroom. Most participants were American families (Caucasian), but according to my wife, there was an elderly woman of Indian or Southeast Asian descent who seemed to struggle with swimming, yet the staff provided significant support for her diving experience. They are well-prepared to accommodate beginners. However, everything is in English, and they speak quite fast.

Since we were in open waters, there were concerns about sharks, but we were instructed to never stray far from the boat, ensuring safety.

So, originally, I would give this a five-star rating, but due to my seasickness, I have to deduct one star. Since it’s a morning tour, make sure to go to bed early the night before and get plenty of sleep.

妻と二人で参加しました。前日日本からの移動のため、時差ボケのためか寝不足のままツアー参加となり、大した揺れでもないのに私は船酔い。船内で出された朝食のパンを食べ、船内からイルカの姿を見た以外は、ほとんど寝ているという有様。
しかし、もともとマリンスポーツ大好きな妻は、すぐ近くで泳ぐイルカを何頭も見ることができ、コナのピアから1時間ほど船で移動した岬の近くに停泊したときには、シュノーケルを使って潜るなど、大満足。もともとマリンスポーツが好きな人には、かなり満足度が高いツアーのようです。
スタッフも一見コワモテに見えるお兄さんばかりでしたが、実際のところはかなり親切。私が船内のトイレが空くのを待っていたら、目ざとく見つけて別のトイレを案内してくれました。参加者のほとんどはアメリカ人（白人）の家族連れでしたが、妻によるとインドか東南アジア系の老婦人がいて、泳ぎが全くダメそうだったけどスタッフがかなりサポートして潜る体験もできたそう。初心者向けの対応もしっかりしています。ただし、全部英語です。しかもしゃべりが速い。
外洋なのでサメが怖いけど、船の周りからは絶対離れないようにとの指導もあり、安全性も確保されていたようです。
というわけで、本来星５つのことろ、私の船酔いのせいでマイナス１。朝出発のツアーなので、前日は早めに寝てしっかり睡眠をとりましょう。

Reviewed by: Troutman

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!!!!

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー　滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く！＜午前・午後／英語ガイド／食事付＞by フェアウィンド号

It was a bit disappointing that it was cloudy. 曇っていたのがちょっと残念

Reviewed by: NNN

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。

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Great family tour

Reviewed by: Breanne

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,

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

First class food and entertainment

Reviewed by: Tim and Pam

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.

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

More kayaking expected

Reviewed by: Arlene

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.

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

Less about snorkelling, more about water slide on boat

Reviewed by: Sucheta

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.

コハラ地区 ジップライン＆吊り橋渡り体験　滝つぼ遊び付きプランあり ＜英語インストラクター＞

It was good. 良かったです

Reviewed by: 伊右衛門

I made a reservation for the 9 o'clock session and arrived at the reception at 8:30. Since I filled out the liability waiver in advance, I measured my weight on the scale next to the reception, and the check-in was completed in just one minute.

I think the percentage of Japanese people is low, and no one speaks Japanese at all, so it's recommended to download the liability waiver from the e-voucher and fill it out beforehand. It takes time to translate on-site.

About 10 minutes before the start time, I received a harness, helmet, and gloves in a room at the back of the reception, and then we traveled to the zip line location in a six-wheeled vehicle used by the military. The zip line descends from a platform built high in the trees. The distance is decent, and we cross a suspension bridge between the wooden platforms, which might be scarier.

The staff are kind, and it's a good tour.

If you're only considering the zip line, Akaka has a longer one.

9時からの回で予約して8：30に受付へ
事前に免責同意書を書いて行ったので受付横の体重計で体重を測って1分で受付は完了です。
日本人率は低いと思うし日本語は全く通じませんので
Eバウチャーから免責同意書がダウンロード出来るので書いて行った方がオススメです。
現地で翻訳してると時間かかるしね。
開始時間の10分前ぐらいに受付奥の部屋で安全帯の装着やヘルメットや手袋を貸してもらったら、軍が使う様な6輪車の車でジップラインの場所まで移動します。
ジップラインは木の高台に作った台の上から下ります。
距離的にはまあまあかな
木の台の間を吊り橋を渡りますがそっちの方が怖いかもしれません

スタッフも優しく良いツアーですよ

ジップラインだけを考えるとアカカだけの方が長いです。

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Worth the workout!

Reviewed by: Elise Wilson

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!

Sacred Pu’uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park & Kona Farms Guided Tour

Not much to this tour

Reviewed by: Elise Wilson

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.

Wonderful Experience Ever!

Reviewed by: Chang Kim

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.
