James was very knowledgeable and we did learn a lot about the big island. Walking in the lava cave was fun, don’t think you can do that elsewhere. The stargazing pictures he took was phenomenal! He even showed us how to take professional-looking pictures by just using iPhone! Definitely recommend this tour! You are gonna love it!

Our family attended the dinner cruise on Thanksgiving and we were not disappointed. The food and scenery were both excellent, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer questions. The music was also very good, and there was even some dancing during the return trip. Would highly recommend this trip during your stay on the Big Island.

Overall, great and once in a lifetime experience to see manta ray(s) up close. We also saw a reef shark and lots of schooling fish. Seaquest provides you with everything you need (wet suit, snorkel gear, etc.). You may leave your dry items on the boat (ie. valuables, phones). All you really need is a towel since it can get chilly after.
We saw one manta ray up close which was spectacular. The remainder of the snorkeling experience was a lot of waiting around and viewing other wildlife. Staff were kind and willing to help out with all our needs.

This was an experience of a lifetime. The guys and girls and SeaQuest we're so helpful and made the night so much fun. They even called as we got a little turned around on the way there. Everything from getting aboard the boat to dropping off afterwards and everything in between was really easy. When in the water we had lots of Manta Ray sightings. They are enormous beautiful creatures! The crew was very knowledgeable and their passion shows! We would definitely do this night snorkel again on our next trip.

Great way to spend a day and learn about the Big Island. If you are lucky enough to have Keith Mowibski as your guide the tour gets better by 10X. He is knowledgeable about the history of the island like no ones business. Can’t say enough good things about this tour.

I participated in the morning session.
If you have a rental car with navigation, you can easily find the reception area.
I attended in November, but it got hot while riding, so water is essential.
If you can't get supplies at a supermarket, I recommend buying water at the shop at the reception area, which also sells it.
(I also recommend using the restroom here.)
You can borrow a helmet, but you can also bring your own hat.
Before riding, the English guide explained the basic movements.
Since it was in English, there were parts I didn't understand, but they explained the important points using some Japanese words as well.
During the ride, there were guides at the front and back of the line to lead the horses, so the horses rarely strayed off the course.
(I almost went off course because I miscommunicated with my horse...)
There were times when the horse didn't respond to the "stop" signal, but the guide stopped us when it was dangerous, so it was fine.
It was fun to take pictures while riding in the great outdoors and to hear explanations about the plants from the guide.
It was quite amusing to see the horse walking through the water.
(I recommend wearing pants that you don't mind getting dirty.)
It was my first time riding a horse, but I was able to do it safely, making it a very good experience.
If you understand English, you would grasp the explanations about handling the horse better, which would reduce any anxiety about riding, and you would also understand the explanations about the plants during the ride more clearly, making it even more interesting.
For those who are anxious, the Japanese plan might be a better option.
午前の部に参加しました。
受付場所は、ナビつきのレンタカーなら難なく辿り着けます。
11月の参加でしたが、馬に乗っている間に暑くなったので、水は必須です。
スーパーなどで調達できなければ、受付場所の売店にも販売があったので買うことをお勧めします。
(ここでトイレを済ませておくこともお勧めします。)
ヘルメットは借りれますが、自前で帽子を持っていくこともできます。
乗馬前に、英語ガイドさんから基本的な動作について説明がありました。
英語なので分からないところもありますが、重要なところは日本語の単語も交えて説明してもらえました。
乗馬中は列の先頭と最後尾にガイドさんがいて馬を誘導してくれるので、馬がコースを外れることはほぼありませんでした。
(私は馬へのサインを間違えてしまったので外れそうになりましたが。。)
"止まれ"のサインを馬がなかなか聞いてくれないこともありましたが、危ないときはガイドさんが止めてくれたので大丈夫でした。
大自然の中、馬に乗りながら写真を撮ることができたり、ガイドさんから生えている植物の説明を聞けたりして楽しかったです。
水の中をじゃぶじゃぶ馬が歩いていくのもなかなか面白いです。
(汚れてもいいズボンで行くといいですよ)
馬に乗るのは初めてでしたが、無事に乗ることができたのでとてもいい経験になりました。
英語が分かったら、馬の扱いの説明がよく分かるので乗馬への不安がもっと少なくなったと思いますし、乗馬中の植物の説明などもよく分かってもっと面白いだろうなと思います。
不安な方は日本語のプランのほうがいいかもしれません。

On the day of check-in at the hotel, I watched a show. I had a standard seat, but since I lined up right after the reception started, there were only about 15 people ahead of me, so I was guided to a spot near the front of the standard seating, and I could see the show well. However, I think the back of the standard seating is still a sufficient distance to see everything.
The meal was in buffet style, with options like meat dishes and poke. Alcohol was also available. The show lasted about two hours and was performed intermittently. After a long flight, I felt it was a bit too long for me, but the climax with the fire show was stunning and woke me up.
For those who find it troublesome and stressful to arrange meals on the first day of arrival, I think it would be a good idea to book this plan where you can eat to your heart's content while watching the show.
ホテルチェックイン当日にショーを観ました。
スタンダード席でしたが、受付開始時間直後に並んだところ15人ほどしか並んでいなかったので、スタンダード席の前の方に案内してもらえ、ショーがよく見えました。
ただ、スタンダード席後ろの方でも充分見える距離だと思います。
食事はビュッフェ形式で、肉料理やポケなどが食べられます。
アルコールも飲めます。
ショーは約2時間に渡って断続的に行われ、長時間フライト後でとても疲れていた私にとっては少し長すぎかなと思いましたが、クライマックスの火のショーは圧巻だったので目が覚めました。
到着初日に食事の手配をするのが面倒だし不安だなという方は、ショーを見ながらお腹いっぱい食べられるこのプランを予約しておくのもありだと思います。

What an amazing experience!! Not only are you able to see the beauty in a fun adventurous manner but there is time and places to capture pictures in between some of the ziplines. The views are stunning and you’ll see waterfalls, rainforest, the ocean and so much more. The staff does a great job of getting everyone to open up and have a great time. They take the time to give you tips on how to do things so you get the most out of your experience. You are sure to laugh the entire time! It was great to also see so many kids on our tour who had an amazing time!
There is a little store before you start where you can get some things like souvenirs, treats, and bug spray. If you go on a rainy day I would note you could get some mud onto yourself but it is minimal. It may also be helpful to consider the equipment when dressing. Many on our tour thought it would be cooler because of the rain to start but the equipment keeps you a bit warm so many had rain coats they didn’t want. They do have some video and picture packages you are able to purchase of your tour and I recommend waiting to purchase these extras until the end of your tour to see if you like them. If you go with the GoPro camera option then you will want that ahead of time.

We went to see a cave a little away from the bay by sea kayak, dropped anchor nearby, snorkeled, swam for a while, and then kayaked back the same route. The kayak ride took about an hour one way. Since we didn't go ashore, it might be a bit hard for beginners. However, the instructor was very kind, and it didn't matter if you couldn't speak much English. Also, we took a route where there was a chance to see sea turtles, mantas, dolphins, and whales, so I think it would be a great experience if you time it with the season! By the way, I only saw a sea turtle.

Our tour was initially rescheduled due to inclement weather. Sea Quest was really professional and gave us a free GoPro rental to make up for the inconveniences. On the day of the tour, they prepped us with all the necessary gear (prescription snorkels, wet suits, regular snorkels, etc.) And gave us a brief overview of what to expect before we headed into the waters.
We saw about 5 mantas that night. They swam close by and it was a really cool experience. There were 2 sea Quest employees in the water with us helping us each step of the way whether it be to adjust the snorkels or retrieve a noodle. They also kept giving us information about the mantas to make the trip more enjoyable.
After about 45 min in the water it was a short ride back to shore where they had hot chocolate and bags of cookies waiting for us.
Over all a very fun experience. Would definitely recommend.

Kevin was in charge, and he was really great, especially with his excellent Japanese! The kayak experience was wonderful; the horizon was beautiful, and I wanted to keep looking at it. The snorkeling was thrilling too, especially when a shark passed by, but I really enjoyed the great outdoors!
It's important to take measures against seasickness and sunburn, but since they speak Japanese, they quickly consider any health concerns if you communicate them. They also took photos for us as a service and sent them the same day.
I was very satisfied!

I was initially anxious about the meeting place since there were no buildings, but the guide arrived by truck, pulling the kayaks to the entry point to the sea. Accompanied by two pairs of beginner couples, including us and a Dutch couple, the guide adjusted to our slower pace and provided thorough explanations at various spots visible from the sea.
At the sea cave (which wasn't very deep), it was enjoyable to watch the Dutch man and the guide jump from the cliff (we declined to participate). Even when we capsized and fell into the sea, the guide calmly helped us back onto the kayak.
Since both pairs were beginners, we didn't go snorkeling but were simply informed about suitable spots. Although there was a bit of wind and waves, it was a fun first experience with enthusiastic and humorous explanations from the guide, all from a sea-level perspective.

My husband and I went on the snorkel experience and it was the best! We saw about 15 manta rays, including one with a 12 foot wingspan, and probably close to 10 barrel rolls where they came within a few inches of us. Our crew worked hard to make sure we were comfortable and that we had a good time (even made us hot cocoa after we got out of the water). I can't say enough great things about Ocean Encounters- you might find a cheaper manta ray swim, but you won't find a better one.

First of all, this tour starts with a meeting point, so it was an adventure for us from the beginning. We left Hilton Waikoloa a little over an hour before the meeting time and arrived safely after about 50 minutes, but the parking lot in front of Fair Wind was already full. We were directed to a parking area deep in the woods across the way (which was just right in front). It was very difficult to find... However, my mother had checked other people's blogs, so if you're worried, you might want to look there.
We took a large boat to Kealakekua Bay. It was a one-hour boat ride, but it wasn't too bumpy, and we were able to have breakfast, so it went by quickly. There is a second floor, but since meals are served on the first floor, I recommend staying on the first floor.
Once we arrived at the bay, we could snorkel freely. There were no Japanese staff, but they made sure to provide fins and floaties. The floaties, which looked like sumo wrestling mawashi, were quite amusing, but they allowed us to snorkel for a long time, making it very comfortable.
I don't think there were any explanations in English about the fish or where to find them, so you can just immerse yourself in snorkeling. Some people were jumping into the sea from the slide, while others finished snorkeling early to have lunch on the boat or enjoy the scenery; everyone was very relaxed.
On the way back, I was hoping to see dolphins, but I didn't find any. However, when I heard a loud noise and looked towards the back of the boat, there was a man struggling with a fishing line that had a reaction. Everyone cheered, and when a large barracuda came out, the atmosphere on the boat was electric.
This tour is recommended for those who want to enjoy their meals, snorkeling, and the scenery at a leisurely pace.

At the top of the tour introduction on the website, there is a photo of a sea turtle, so I thought I would be able to see sea turtles while snorkeling, but in reality, I didn't see any at all.
Even though the weather was good, the water clarity wasn't that high, and I couldn't experience snorkeling that was truly impressive.
There was an explanation on the way to the snorkeling point by boat, but it was all in English. I was shown a Japanese explanation, but I think that was probably just a part (the minimum information). I believe they were explaining various things, but as someone who struggles with English, I could hardly understand anything.
When we arrived at the snorkeling point, we were allowed to jump into the sea from the boat and snorkel freely.
The guide was resting under a parasol on the boat. There was no explanation about where any fish were. I didn't even know how long we were allowed to snorkel.
After getting out of the water, we were given fruit (pineapple, apple, orange) and a small bag of snacks. (I was disappointed that this was the light meal...)
After that, we went by boat near a cave, but we couldn't enter the cave; we just looked at it from the boat. There was no Japanese explanation here either, so I didn't understand anything at all.
After that, we returned to the port by boat and disbanded. Given all this, I felt that the cost was quite high.
Moreover, there was no pick-up service, and I had to make my own way to the meeting point. Since I was staying at a hotel in the Mauna Lani area, it took about an hour to get to the meeting point.

We had an awesome time! I had done a similar activity tour before, but I enjoyed doing it even more with this crew. They actually called us beforehand and warned us that the mantas had been inconsistent in the previous few days, and wanted to know if we wanted to do a different tour or go on a later date. We were leaving the next day, so we couldn't do either, but we really appreciated them being upfront. It turned out not to matter, though, because we saw several mantas! They were incredible to watch, and we got some amazing views of them feeding. Our hosts also gave us a sunset tour of the coast before the mantas came out, which was super beautiful. Highly recommended!
Mahalo for taking the time to write a review of your manta tour with Kona Ocean Experience. We're so glad you had the opportunity to take advantage of our manta guarantee after your 1st trip out with us, and that you enjoyed your beautiful coastal tour and got to watch several "incredible" mantas on your 2nd trip!
