We saw a variety of humpback groups, including a mother with a very curious calf. We even saw one breech a few times! Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. Took a lot of questions from the group. We also saw a group of manta rays on our way back to shore! My 4 year old had as equally good time as his grandparents. Would definitely recommend!

The location of the office was difficult to find even with the navigation, but a juice shop along the way gave me detailed directions, so I was able to arrive. We descended a steep slope in a 4WD vehicle to the valley floor, rode friendly horses across the river in Waipi'o Valley, and passed through the forest. It was safe, and the saddle cushion was good, so my legs (groin) didn't hurt too much. However, the horses' speeds varied, and I couldn't keep up with the guide, so I missed out on some explanations in the second half, which was disappointing. I guess it's difficult to match the pace with horses...
事務所の場所がナビでも分かりにくかったですが 途中のジュース屋さんが詳しく教えてくれたので到着できました。急斜面を4駆で谷底に降りて フレンドリーな馬たちに乗ってワイピオ渓谷の川をわたったり、森の中を抜けたり、安全にでき鞍のクッションがいいのかそんなに足(股間)も痛くなかったです。ただ馬の速度がまちまちでガイドさんについていけず、後半は離れてしまって説明が聞き取れず残念。馬さんなので歩調を合わせるのは難しいのかな・・・

We participated in the early morning plan. The guides taught us patiently, and even as a couple in our 50s who were kayaking for the first time, we were able to fully enjoy the waters of Hawaii. We didn't have the chance to look for dolphins, but we had a wonderful time snorkeling and seeing beautiful fish. The guide took various photos for us, and we received them later, which turned out to be a lovely collection of memories. Thank you very much.

My husband and I participated with our 5-year-old child. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes to reach the snorkeling spot, but the waves are quite high, so I think it's essential for those who are prone to motion sickness to take anti-nausea medication. On the way to our destination, we even saw whales, which got our child very excited.
At first, our 5-year-old was scared of snorkeling, but there was a bodyboard-like device with a transparent section, and they enjoyed peeking through it. The sea was also very beautiful, and our family was extremely satisfied. This is definitely a tour we would like to participate in again.
夫、5歳の子どもと参加しました。
30〜40分かけてシュノーケリングスポットに行きますが、波がかなり高く乗り物酔いしやすい方は酔い止め薬必須だと思います。
目的地まで行く間も鯨が見えたりと子ども大興奮でした。
シュノーケリングは5歳の子どもは最初は怖がっていましたが、ボディーボードのようなものに乗って一部が透明になっているのでそこを覗きながら楽しんでいました。海もとても綺麗で家族で大変満足しています。
是非また参加したいツアーでした。

We had a horseback riding experience in the morning as a family of three. It was everyone's first time, but we had a lot of fun. The blue sky and green scenery were amazing, and we spent about two hours on a spacious ranch. At times, we even trotted, which was thrilling, and my daughter enjoyed it as well. At higher altitudes, we entered the clouds, and the guide explained everything in clear English while being considerate of everyone's situation, which made us feel at ease. I recommend the 2.5-hour plan. It was a wonderful experience! I want to go again!
家族三人での朝からの乗馬体験。
全員初めてでしたが楽しかった。
青空とグリーンの景色が最高で広々とした牧場を2時間ほど。途中何度か駆け足で進んでみたりドキドキでしたが、娘も楽しんでいました。

We met at the hotel parking lot entrance and from there, it was about 50 meters to the starting point of the canoe tour where we received instructions and did some stretching. We only took the minimum necessary items onto the canoe.
The waves were somewhat choppy, not completely calm, and we paddled along the left bank while passing the hotel’s first-floor restaurant, heading towards the next cove's cave. At the cave entrance, the waves were crashing back, and we maneuvered the canoe along the right bank, about 100 meters from the shoreline. Before snorkeling, we noticed that the water was somewhat cloudy and yellowish due to the rain the day before. While swimming, we spotted sea urchins and rays, and then there were dolphins making a commotion, with baby dolphins spinning and jumping around us. It was a lot of fun!

Five years ago, I used the shuttle service with my 10-year-old child and two others, and it was amazing! Two years ago, the tour was canceled due to rain during the shuttle service to the valley. This time, we requested to meet on-site, and after a 1.5-hour drive from Kailua Kona, we crossed off-road rivers while having conversations (in our hearts) with the wonderful horses, saw trumpet flowers, taro fields, and the mysterious valley. The horses were great; Waka would leave the line to eat grass, climb about 50 cm, and then eat more grass, trying to overtake the horse in front! I'm grateful for all of that Waka.

It was a stable day, so I didn't need any motion sickness medication. I drove to the location with a rental car, and it was easy to find; it's at a corner. You can park on the shoulder of the road.

The weather was perfect, and I was moved by all the scenery. I was told that if things went well, I might see a whale, but I didn't get my hopes up. However, whales appeared! They jumped several times, which was also moving. The passengers on the boat cheered loudly. And then, the sunset—absolutely stunning. I recorded videos of the whales and the sunset. Even after returning home, it was amazing!
One slight disappointment was that although they mentioned light snacks, there were only some snack foods in paper cups. The rest was just conversation... This was our fault, but I was disappointed that I couldn't understand the crew's fun talk. Because of these two points, I couldn't say it was "the best!" I apologize for that.
That said, it was a series of moving experiences. I am grateful.
天候に恵まれすべての景色に感動。
うまくいけば鯨を見れるかも!と言われていたが、期待しないでいました。

The weather hadn't been very good until the day before, but we were blessed with great weather on the day itself, so I didn't experience any seasickness without taking any medication. We saw several whales in the distance, including their tails, backs, and spouts. Just when I thought that was all we would see, there was suddenly a series of breaches right in front of us! It was incredibly powerful, and all the passengers were very excited.

We participated as a couple. My husband is a good swimmer and has experience with kayaking, but I can't swim and was a beginner with kayaking, so I was very scared at first. However, the guide kindly taught us in Japanese, which made me feel at ease. When I paddled on the left side, my body tilted to the left, and I capsized three times. For some reason, I ended up falling into the sea alone, which was actually quite funny. For snorkeling, they lent us a boogie board, so it was easy and enjoyable. There were plenty of fish, and even though I can't swim, I had a great time. My husband has poor eyesight, so he bought prescription swimming goggles in Japan and borrowed a snorkel from the guide to enjoy himself. There are no shower facilities. We changed at the restroom on the first floor of the Sheraton before heading home. The meeting point is a bit hard to find. While there were some inconveniences, the positives far outweighed them, and we were very satisfied.
夫婦で参加しました。主人は泳ぎも得意ですし、カヤックもやったことがありましたが、私は泳げませんし、カヤック初心者で最初はとても怖かったです。でも、ガイドさんが日本語で丁寧に教えてくださったので安心しました。カヤックは私が左側を漕ぐときに体が左側に傾くようで3回も転覆してしまいました。なぜか私1人が海に落ちてしまったこともありそれが、それがまた面白かったです。シュノーケリングはビートバンを貸してくださったので楽々でした。お魚もたくさんいて泳げない私でも十分楽しめました。主人は視力が弱いので、日本で度付の水泳用ゴーグルを購入していき、現地でガイドさんからスノーケルを借りて楽しんでいました。シャワーを浴びるところはありません。シェラトン1階のお手洗いをお借りして着替えて帰りました。待ち合わせ場所はわかりにくいです。不便なこともありますが、良かったことの方が大きくて大満足でした。

The ship was larger than I expected. There was someone explaining over the speaker, but it was all in English, so I didn't understand it very well. There were hardly any Japanese guests. I was worried about seasickness, so I took some medication before heading out, but I didn't feel much rocking at all. I was able to see whales about four times, but of course, since we couldn't get too close, just watching from a distance lacked a bit of impact. However, being able to see them with the naked eye is only possible during this season, so I was really moved just to have had the chance to see them!
思っていた以上に大きい船でした。スピーカーで説明してくれている方がいたのですが、全て英語であまりよく分かりませんでした。日本人のお客さんもほとんどいませんでした。船酔いが不安だったので酔い止めを飲んで出掛けましたが、あまり揺れも感じずにすみました。4回ほどくじらを見ることができましたが、当然のことながら、あまり近くに寄ることもできないため、遠目に見るだけでは、やはり迫力には欠けます。しかし、肉眼で見られるのは、この時期だけですので、見ることができただけで感動でした!

I participated in the tour in early February 2020. After checking in at the tour reception, we boarded a small boat at a shallow beach and then transferred to a medium-sized whale-watching boat after heading a little offshore. Since this tour was not specifically for Japanese speakers, all the explanations were in English, and we didn't understand much as we are not very good at English. However, both the reception staff and the crew were friendly, so we didn't feel out of place.
The tour includes drinks and snacks. We didn't need them, so we didn't eat or drink, but I appreciated that the crew took the time to ask if we wanted something to drink and made an effort to deliver drinks to elderly passengers who found it difficult to move around due to the boat's rocking.
What kind of whales we encounter is purely a matter of luck, but this time we were able to see a mother whale with her baby. We didn't get to see any flashy displays, but we enjoyed watching them blow water and see their tails.
If we could understand English better, we might have enjoyed it even more, but it was a tour that was enjoyable even without knowing English.

On that day, our family (two adults and an elementary school child) participated together. It was our first time kayaking, and since our child is a bit timid and had never been in water where they couldn't touch the bottom, we felt a little anxious about joining. The guide was very kind and taught us various things, allowing both us and our child to participate very enjoyably. During snorkeling, the guide changed locations while keeping an eye on our child and swam with us, for which we are truly grateful. Paddling outside the bay can be quite tiring, but it's a pleasant kind of fatigue. When we come back to the Big Island next time, we would like to participate again!
その日は私達家族(夫婦2人と小学生の子供)の3人で参加しました。カヤックは初挑戦でしたし、子供も怖がりで足のつかない水に入る事もした事がなかったので、少し不安を感じての参加でした。ガイドの方がとても親切に色々と教えて下さって、私達も子供もとても楽しく参加する事が出来ました。シュノーケルも子供の様子を見ながら色々と場所を変更したり一緒に泳いで下さったりして、本当に感謝です。湾の外に出て漕ぐので、結構疲れますが心地よい疲労感です。次回ハワイ島に来る時には、また参加したいと思います!
