Family-Friendly Kohala & Waikoloa Whale Watching and Sailing Tour - Ocean Sports [Dec - Mar]

Morning Cruise - saw multiple whales

Reviewed by: Jonathan Smits

Because it was a morning cruise, they made good on sighting whales. There were multiple sightings. The amount of time on the boat was good, because after the sightings, I could actually relax and just enjoy the rest of the boat ride. The refreshments were tremendous. The crew was very generous and informative. I know the crew couldn't get as close as I would have liked, because of regulations, but I sure would have liked to have closer pictures and more majestic surfacings. But, overall we were happy with the cruise.

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　 レジェンズ・オブ・ハワイ（ヒルトンワイコロアビレッジ）＜日・火・金催行／ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題＞

It was fun!! 楽しかった！！

Reviewed by: けんけん号

I lined up a little earlier than the scheduled time and was the third group. As time passed, more and more people lined up. Since entry is based on the order of arrival, I think it's best to line up early if you want a better seat.

After checking in, you have to wait before entering the venue. Check-in is at 5 PM, and the doors open at 5:30 PM, so you will wait for about 30 minutes.

First, you receive a welcome drink and are shown to your seat. Once seated, you are free to enjoy, but the food is only for children. There is a place where you can enjoy temporary tattoos and small items, and while you're having fun there, the food for adults will become available.

Even before the main show starts, there are songs and dances on stage, and music is always playing, so you can have a pleasant time.

As the sun sets and it gets somewhat dark, the main show begins. There are classic fire shows and hula dances. Since my seat was a bit far, I think it's better to choose a higher seat if you're looking for a more intense experience.

Additionally, from 8 AM on the day of the event, you can watch the preparation of a whole roasted pig. This is also quite impressive, so I recommend seeing that as well.

時間よりちょっと早めに並んだら、3組目でした。時間を過ぎるとどんどん並んで…。並んだ順に案内なので、少しでもよい席がよかったら、早めに並ぶといいと思います。
受付のあと、会場に入るまで待たされます。17時に受付、17時30分開場なので、30分ほど待ちます。
まずウエルカムドリンクをもらい、席に案内されます。席に着いたらあとは自由ですが、食べ物は子ども用しかありません。洗うと落ちるタトゥーや小物売り場があるので、そこで楽しんでたら大人用の食べ物がオープンになります。

メインのショーが始まるまでも、舞台では歌やダンスがあったり、常に音楽が流れてるので、心地よい時間を過ごすことができます。

日が落ちて、ある程度暗くなってくると、いよいよメインのショーです。定番のファイヤーショーやフラダンスです。少し席が遠かったので、迫力を求めるならば高い席にした方がよいと思います。

また、当日朝8時から、豚の丸焼きの準備を見ることができます。これもなかなか見ごたえがあるので、合わせて見ることを推薦します。

Guided Waipio Valley Horseback Riding & Waterfall Tour [Closed]

Twice is nice!

Reviewed by: Robin Carson

The ride in van to the valley, then back to the top were outstanding as well as horseback ride. Guide was a great driver on the narrow treacherous roads. Horseback ride wonderful, guides informative, horses gentle. Great instructions given on how to "drive" a horse. I've never felt so comfortable on a horse before. Mine was Holoholo, a handsome palamino. He had personality and would nip ar other horses. I could identify with him. I have personality as well. Scenery beautifal. I loved the ride so much that I went back for a second ride a week later.Also saw many wild horses too.
.I would recommend this activity to anyone and everyone.

The sea was really beautiful.

I could only catch a few words in English, but I managed. The crew was attentive and considerate.

Since it was the end of December, the water was very cold, and even though it was the afternoon session, I started to feel cold after snorkeling for 30 minutes.

If there had been a bit more variety in the drinks and food, it would have been five stars. (Juice, potato chips, rice crackers, oranges, pineapples.)

海は、本当にきれいでした。

英語は、単語しか聞き取れなかったけど、何とかなりました。
乗組員は、声をかけてくれ、気配りができていました。

１２月末だったので、水は、とても冷たく、
午後の部でしたが、３０分もシュノーケルしていたら寒くなってしましました。

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　 レジェンズ・オブ・ハワイ（ヒルトンワイコロアビレッジ）＜日・火・金催行／ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題＞

The front row!! 一番前の席！！

Reviewed by: ルアルアウ

The Hilton Hotel has a dedicated space for luaus. To get straight to the point, it’s not much different from luaus I've seen elsewhere, but the performances are unique to a family-friendly hotel. Right in front of the stage, there are mats set up for small children, along with plenty of cushions, allowing the kids to mimic the dancers and enjoy dancing along. It was very heartwarming. It was worth reserving the premium seats, as we were guided to the table right at the front. We were also able to get our food first. I was a bit hesitant before making the reservation, but I'm glad I went.

ヒルトンホテルにルアウ専用スペースが設けられてます。結論から先に行ってしまうと、他の場所で観たルアウショーとあまり違っていませんが、ファミリーが多いホテルならではの演出と、舞台すぐ目の前には小さいお子様用にマットがしかれており、多数のクッションが置いてあり、目の前で繰り広げられるダンスにお子様たちもダンサーのマネをして一緒に踊ったりして楽しんでいました。とても微笑ましかったです。プレミアムシートで予約した甲斐があり、テーブルの一番前の席に案内してもらえました。お料理も先に取りにいけました。予約前はちょっと迷っていたけれど、観に行ってよかったです。

野生のマンタ　シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞

The weather is something else! なにぶん天気がね！

Reviewed by: ピーベリープルメリア

Even though it's always summer in Hawaii, we found ourselves in the middle of winter, and unfortunately, it was cold and rainy. We suited up in wetsuits and headed out into the waves, which were quite rough! From a Japanese perspective, it was surprising to start the tour under such bad weather conditions.

As expected, my wife, who isn't very confident in her physical strength, quickly returned to the boat due to the cold and the waves. I was worried about her, and I ended up slipping on the deck and injuring my side. We only managed to spot two manta rays near the ocean floor, which left us a bit disappointed on our first day in Hawaii.

I had joined the tour believing the reviews that said it would be fine even without understanding English, but I think it would be safer to go with a Japanese-speaking tour, even if it costs a bit more. However, I did find that the catamaran had less rocking than expected, so I hope to try again under better conditions.

常夏のハワイ、とは言え真冬おまけに生憎の雨で寒い中、屋根ひとつないところでウェットスーツに身を包み沖へ出るとかなりのうねりが！
われわれ日本人の感覚からすれば、こんな、悪天候の時に出航するのかと思ってしまう条件の中でのスタートとなりました。
案の定寒さと、うねりにより体力に自信のない女房は早々に船上に。
心配で同行した私も、デッキで滑り転倒して脇腹を痛める始末。
肝心のマンタは海の底辺りに２尾だけ現れたのを確認できたのみで、ハワイ島初日にすこしがっかりのツアーでした。
英語がわからなくても、勢いで大丈夫っていった書き込みを信じての参加でしたが、やはり費用が割高でも日本語でのツアーの方が安全面のためにも良いのではと思います。
ただ、双胴船のため、揺れは少ない方だと思いました、好条件の時ににリベンジしたいと思います。

It was my first time on the Big Island and my first snorkeling tour. There were only our family and one other group of Japanese people. The check-in and explanations were all in English, but there were also Japanese instructions, and the staff was kind, so I felt secure participating. Since it was a morning cruise, we were first served delicious bread and fruit, and before we knew it, we arrived at the snorkeling spot. The beautiful bay had calm waves, and we saw plenty of fish, which made us very satisfied! There were also plenty of floatation devices, so we could enter the water without any worries.

For lunch, we had handmade hamburgers from the staff, and we got to make our own burgers. They were delicious! The boat also had a restroom, which was reassuring. It was a wonderful snorkeling experience where we could fully enjoy the great nature of the Big Island.

初めてのハワイ島で初めてのシュノーケリングツアーでした。日本人は私たち家族ともう１組だけ・・・。受付や説明はすべて英語ですが、日本語の注意書きもあり、スタッフが親切なので安心して参加できました。モーニングクルーズなのでまずおいしいパンやフルーツが出てきて、あっという間にポイントに到着。美しい湾で波も穏やか、魚もたくさん見られて大満足！！浮き輪や浮き具なども豊富なので、不安なく海に入れます。
　昼食はスタッフ手作りのハンバーグで、自分でハンバーガーを作ります。美味しかったー！！船にはトイレもついていて安心。ハワイ島の大自然を満喫できる、素敵なシュノーケリングでした。

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

Sunset Cruise and Manta Ray Night Snorkel

Reviewed by: Evar

My most favorite experience on Big Island with Sea Paradise! A great crew and we were taken care of from start to finish. You start by checking in at the shopping center, drive 5 minutes to Keauhou Bay to park your vehicle, get fitted for your wet suit, and get on the boat. The sunset on along the Kona Coast was beautiful. The crew were extremely helpful, very knowledgeable about the history of the manta rays, humorous and went out of their way to make sure we spent the most time with the manta rays. We were one of the first boats in and last to leave. Plus, we were given fresh pineapple, juices/sodas and hot chocolate.
I do not know how to swim but the guides took extra care to make sure I made it on and off the boat with flotation devices. I would definitely recommend Sea Paradise!

Bambi (captain) and Steven (dive guide) both are very friendly and knowledgeable. More importantly, in case that you do not see any manta ray, they arrange you another trip for free. In our case, the giants took a day off on Sunday and then came back on Monday. So try to book it at least 2 days before the end of your trip.

I signed up at my partner's strong request, and since it was quite expensive, I participated without much enthusiasm, but it turned out to be more enjoyable than I expected.
We started with a brief lecture before setting off. The wonderful scenery seen from the back of the horse was, of course, much higher than my usual view, which made it enjoyable.
The child of the foreign family accompanying us was around elementary school age, and they had a great time.
We splashed through the flowing river, and at one point, we had trouble with a horse that stopped to eat grass and wouldn’t move at all, but looking back, that became a fun memory.

連れ合いのたっての希望で申し込んだが、それなりに高額なので、気乗りせずに参加したが、思ったより楽しかった。
最初に簡単なレクチャーがあって出発。馬の背から見る素晴らしい風景は、当然ながら普段よりずっと視線が高いので楽しめた。
同行の外国人の親子連れの子供は小学生ぐらいだったが、十分楽しんでいた。
川の流れの中をジャブジャブ入って行ったり、途中で止まって草を食べ出して全然動かなくなってしまった馬に困ったりもしたが、後になればそれも楽しい思い出になった。

Reviewed by: リゾート大好きファミリー

Since I had never ridden a horse before, both my children (a fourth grader and a third-year middle school student) and I were very anxious. However, after listening to the instructions and getting on the horse, we quickly got the hang of it and started to enjoy ourselves. There were some unexpected moments, like when the horse started eating grass or when it almost got into a fight with the horse in front of it, but those became fun memories as well. The horses for the kids were honest and serious, so they managed to ride them without any issues. The mountain scenery was beautiful, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience.

乗馬をしたことがなかったので、私も子供たち(小４と中３)もとても不安でしたが、説明を聞いてから馬に乗ってみると、すんなりと進んでいくので、だんだんと慣れて、楽しくなってきました。途中で草を食べてしまったり、前の馬にくっついてしまってけんかになりかけたり、、とハプニングもありましたが、それもまた、楽しい思い出となりました。子供たちの馬は、素直で真面目な馬だったので、問題なく、乗りこなしていました。山の風景がとても素敵で、最高に良い経験でした。

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

Manta Ray Night Snorkel

Reviewed by: D & L Williams

For those who love the water and its fascinating creatures, we highly recommend this activity aboard the Hawaiian Sailing Canoe. The canoe is a modern replica seating a limited number of passengers, so the skipper Dave knew our names immediately. But much like going to a "modern" zoo, you may see what you're looking for the first time out but you may not. Our first night snorkel was at 8:30pm, and while the groups before and after us had a grand "show" we were skunked. But Dave said we could keep coming back (for free!) until we sighted the mantas. The next night at 9:30pm we were in luck, and were treated to a 45 minute water ballet by two mantas that glided and turned just inches beneath our illuminated surfboard. For optimum warmth bring your own full-length wetsuit instead of using their wetsuit tops.

Experience of a lifetime

Reviewed by: Leah

This tour was life changing for me! Such an awesome experience to really see the island and have someone guide you through it so you really understand what you're seeing and the history behind it.

Tour guide was Chris who was excellent. He has a real gift for this, and you can tell he is truly passionate and loves what he does. Makes the tour feel more real and less like show and tell or reading from a script. 10/10 highly recommended tour.

Tour provides you with all the comforts you need for the day so you're never hungry, cold, or unsure of where a clean bathroom is. Even had plugs for you to charge your phone although I had a portable charger with me that day which I recommend for any trip.
