Our 10am whale watching cruise was cancelled but we were accommodated on an other cruise for 10:30am. This one included snorkeling. So it was a big win for us. We did get to see a few whales and dolphins. The crew was amazing. They were friendly and informative. They took the time to chat with us. They gave us some background on the whales and clear instructions before getting in the water for snorkeling. They were very attentive and ready to help everyone during the snorkeling. This was an awesome tour. I would definitely book this tour again and recommend it.

The check-in process was slow, and after waiting for over 30 minutes, I was able to enter after 5:30 PM. As a Polynesian show, it was very enjoyable and wonderful, but the Hawaiian atmosphere felt lacking. The food was delicious, and with the all-you-can-drink option, it felt like a good deal. Although it's unrelated to the show, there was a huge traffic jam from Waikoloa to Kona on Friday, taking an hour and a half.
受付の処理が遅くて、30分以上並んで、入場出来たのが5時半過ぎ。
ポリネシアンショーとしてみれば、とても楽しく素晴らしいが、ハワイの雰囲気は薄い。
食事は美味しいし、飲み放題なのでお得感があります。
ショーとは関係ないが、金曜日はワイコロアからコナまで大渋滞で、1時間半かかりました。

I only walked slowly along the road, so I wanted to enjoy more varied scenery and a leisurely pace. For those who are riding a horse for the first time, it might be satisfying.

Every time I come to the Big Island, I participate in the Fair Wind snorkeling tour. I usually go in the morning, but this time I joined in the afternoon for the first time. Since lunch is not included, I had a meal before heading out.
While the volcano and star tours are great, I really want everyone to experience the beauty of the ocean around the Big Island. At Captain Cook's Point, there are more fish than anywhere else, even more than at Hanauma Bay on Oahu. This time, we were the only Japanese participants. My elderly father doesn't dive, but he always enjoys the cruise and feels satisfied.
When we arrived at the port, it was just in time for the sunset, and we enjoyed watching it for a bit after getting off the boat.
It's only about a 15-minute drive from Kona, where we're staying, to the port, so it's very convenient.
The weather was nice, and it felt great!

I participated in a short course. The early morning sea is calm and feels wonderful. We paddle along the shore without going too far out, enjoying the scenery. After turning back, we stop at the snorkeling point and can enjoy snorkeling for a while.
Of course, the underwater world is a different realm. The guide was fluent in Japanese and very kind. The canoe operation is easy. If couples participate, it might deepen their bond? Well, in the end, it turns out that only the man at the back ends up paddling...^^
Since the tour ends at the spot, it's a good idea to borrow a restroom and shower at the nearby Sheraton. Although the meeting place might seem uncertain on the map, it's easy to find and parking is simple. It's reasonably priced and very satisfying. I highly recommend it.
短時間コースに参加しました。早朝の海は穏やかでとても気持ち良いです。そんなに沖には出ないで陸沿いを景色を楽しみながら漕いで行きます。折り返してスノーケルポイントでカヌーを止めてしばらくスノーケルを楽しめます。
無論海の中は別世界です。
ガイドさんは日本語堪能でとても親切にして頂きました。
カヌーの操作も簡単です。夫婦、カップルで参加すれば絆が深まるかも?まぁ結局は後ろで男性だけが漕ぐ羽目になりますが・・・^^
その場で解散なので目の前のシェラトンでトイレとプールでシャワーを借りると良いでしょう。
集合場所も地図だと不安ですがわかりやすく駐車も簡単で

Our tour included three couples from the mainland besides my husband and me. There was also a Japanese tour with a guide fluent in Japanese at the same meeting time, but the instructions and riding techniques were explained so thoroughly that we had no trouble at all with the English tour.
I was unsure about wearing a helmet. If you're worried, you can wear one, but the other couples weren't wearing helmets, so we decided not to. All the horses were well-trained (though some were quite greedy and tended to wander off), so it was fine without a helmet.
There was a bag available at the stable that you could borrow for free. You can put drinks, smartphones, and digital cameras in it. One person on the same tour attached a handle to their digital camera and took lots of photos while riding. I thought it would be a hassle to carry a selfie stick, so I just took my smartphone, but I was nervous about dropping it while taking pictures. I wished I had attached it to the selfie stick.
We also rode through the beautiful nature along the river, soaking in plenty of negative ions.
It was an afternoon tour, and it drizzled a bit on the way, but we were lucky that it didn't rain at Waipi'o! I would love to go horseback riding again when I visit the Big Island.
私たちのツアーには私たち夫婦以外に本土からのカップルが3組でした。同じ集合時間で日本語が堪能なガイドによる日本語ツアーもありましたが、注意事項も乗り方も丁寧に教えて下さるので英語でも全く不便はありませんでした。
迷ったのはヘルメットの着用。心配なら着用、他のカップルは着用なしだったので着用なしで。馬はどの子も良く調教されてるので(一部かなり食いしん坊で寄り道の多い子もいましたが)ヘルメットなしでも大丈夫でした。
馬屋に蔵につけるバッグがあり、無料で借りれます。
飲み物やスマホ、デジカメなど入れておくことができます。同じツアーの方がデジカメにハンドルをつけて乗馬しながらバシバシ写真を撮ってました。私は荷物になるかとスマホの自撮り棒を外してスマホのみ持って行きましたが、落としそうでハラハラしながら撮影してました。自撮り棒につけていけば良かったなと思いました。
大自然の中川の中も進んで行きます。マイナスイオンをたっぷり浴びてきました。
午後からのツアーで、行く途中パラパラと雨が降っていましたが、ワイピオは雨が降らなくてラッキーでした!またハワイ島に行った時には乗馬したいです。

Diese Tour fand mit ca. 18 Personen auf einem modernen Katamaran statt. Man befindet sich ca. 45min im Wasser, wobei man neue Neoprenanzüge trägt. Der Trip wurde professionell durchgeführt, es fanden sich neben den Teilnehmern stets 2-3 Sicherheitsschwimmer im Wasser. Wir sahen 5-6 majestische Mantarochen - selten was eindrucksvolleres erlebt. Ich empfehle Mittel gegen Seekrankheit, denn die Tour findet auf offenener See (Wellengang) und bei Dunkelheit statt. Kann diese Tour auf jeden Fall empfehlen.

It was my first time watching a proper hula dance show, and the performance was wonderful and very enjoyable. Before the show, I was entertained by the performance of a whole roasted pig for the buffet, and Kamehameha the Great made an appearance on a raft, along with traditional games to enjoy.
However, I believe the plan included photography, but they asked for $20, so I ended up not purchasing it. I was also disappointed that the lei was not made of flowers.
きちんとしたフラダンスショーを見るのは初めてでしたが、踊りも素晴らしくてとても良かったです。ショーの前にはバイキングに出る豚の丸焼きのパフォーマンスや、カメハメハ大王がいかだに乗って登場したり、伝統的な遊びをしたりと楽しめました。
ただ、プランの中に写真撮影も含まれていたはずですが、お金を要求されて20ドルもしたので結局買いませんでした。レイも花ではなくて残念でした。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide a satisfactory service.
The "photo service" mentioned in the inclusions was intended to allow for photos to be taken during the show intermission, but I apologize for the unclear description. Additionally, we provided shell leis at the venue, but the inclusion was only described as "leis," which may have led to expectations of floral leis, resulting in disappointment. I am very sorry for the insufficient guidance. We have corrected the information on the tour page.
We take your feedback seriously and will work with the operating company to further improve our services. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

The next best thing or better even was this tour; Kat, our guide, answered every one of our questions and it was super fun!

I’d do it again, and the price was the most reasonable of all the activities we’ve tried so far on the Big Island ;)

It was my first experience riding a horse, but I got used to it in about 30 minutes. The guide was flexible and provided support throughout the ride. Since we walked along narrow paths in the valley, the horse stopped to drink water and eat grass along the way, and we even passed by cars, which helped me improve my reins handling. They also took some great photos.
The meeting point was quite far and hard to find. I was a bit nervous during the journey, but somehow I understood the pickup fee.
乗馬初体験でしたが30分ほどで慣れてきました。
ガイドの方が前後について、臨機応変にサポートしてくれました。渓谷の細い道を歩くので途中で馬が水を飲んだり草を食べたり、途中で車とすれ違うことも、おかげで手綱さばきも上手くなりました。いい写真も撮ってくれました。

If you go thinking it's a touristy show in Honolulu, you might be a bit disappointed. The dinner didn't quite suit my taste either. Since the prices aren't exactly cheap, I think next time I'll book shows in Honolulu instead. It was outdoors, so it was very windy and cold at night. Honestly, I felt like I wanted to spend my time and money on something different.
ホノルルの観光客向けのショー的な感じと思って行くとちょっとがっかりするかも。ディナーもちょっと私の口には合わなかったです。値段も決して安いわけではないので、同じ払うなら、次回から、ショー関係はホノルルで予約すると思います。屋外であったので、とても風が強く、夜も寒かった。正直、もっと違うことに時間とお金を使いたいなと思いました。

It takes a long time to get on the horse. We went down the valley in a four-wheel drive vehicle, and it was quite an old car! The engine warning light was on, which was a bit scary.
The horses are well-trained, so it's safe. Even beginners will be fine.
Also, you can't go to the bathroom for about three hours. Just a heads up. Plus, the bathroom you can use before that is really dirty!

We arrived early with the rental car, applied sunscreen, and were fully prepared! However, despite that, my calves and the back of my thighs got really sunburned from snorkeling. Among the dozen participants, we were the only Japanese couple. We traveled by speedboat and arrived at the snorkeling spot, where the water was clear and there were plenty of fish. We had sandwiches for lunch and moved a little, but during the second snorkeling session, there wasn't much change since we only moved a few hundred meters, which was disappointing. On the way back, we stopped at several places eroded by waves, and the captain explained everything in English, but we were completely lost. We also encountered a pod of dolphins, and the dolphin jumps were heart-melting.
