ワイピオ渓谷　乗馬ツアー　絶景のなかを気軽に乗馬体験 ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞ by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

It was amazing. 最高でした。

Reviewed by: bisisland

I trusted the reviews and signed up for the tour. Since I applied just before the tour, I was anxious because I didn't receive a reply, but my reservation was confirmed without any issues. After arriving at the meeting point, various tours had buses picking them up, but there were no signs. When I asked the guide, I was told that this bus was not for the horseback riding tour, and after about 15 minutes, we finally departed. It was difficult to understand the guide's English. I was the only Asian participant. We descended a steep path, crossed a river, and switched horses. My horse was very smart, gentle, and quite cute. Many of the horses had a laid-back vibe, similar to the people of Hawaii. During the tour, the guide's two dogs (both very friendly and cute) followed us the whole time. I felt that the tour duration was just right.

口コミを信じて、ツアーに申し込みました。
直前に申し込んだため返信もなく不安でしたが、問題なく予約されてました。
集合場所に着いた後は色々なツアーが迎えにきたバスに乗りこむのですが、
表示がなく、ガイドさんに聞いたら乗馬ツアーはこれじゃないといわれ、
１５分ほど時間がすぎて出発しました。ガイドさんの英語が聞きとりが難しかったです。
アジア人は私一人でした。傾斜のきつい道を下り、川を渡り馬に乗り換えます。
私の馬はとても賢い、穏かな馬でとてもかわいかったです。
馬もハワイの人の様に大らかな感じの馬が多かったです。
ツアー中はガイドさんの飼い犬（２匹ともとてもフレンドリーでかわいいです）が
ずっと私たちのあとをついてきました。ツアー時間もちょうど良かった様に思います。

It was a relaxed show. ゆったりとしたショーでした

Reviewed by: catslove

We were seated at 5 PM, and the actual show started around 7 PM. Until then, we enjoyed drinks, hula experiences, and traditional Hawaiian cuisine. The show featured not only hula but also dances from other islands like Samoa. Between the dances, there were talks and songs from the host, and I thought it might have been more enjoyable if I understood a bit more English. The time flowed leisurely, and depending on the seats, you might not be very close to the stage, so small children might get bored.

17時に着席し、実際にショーが始まるのは19時ごろからでした。それまでは、ドリンクやフラ体験、ハワイの伝統料理などを楽しみました。ショーでは、フラだけでなく、サモアなど、他の島のダンスもありました。ダンスの合間に司会者のトークや歌があり、もう少し英語が分かればもっと楽しかったかなと思います。時間もゆったりと流れますし、席によってはそれほどステージに近くないため、小さなお子様は飽きてしまうかもしれません。

Grand Circle Island Tour - Volcano, Black Sand Beach, Waipio Valley & Waterfalls

Wonderful Tour and Tour Guide, Exceeded Expectations!

Reviewed by: Justine Z

It was my first vacation to the Big Island of Hawaii and I booked a full day circle tour with Wasabi Tours with my boyfriend, in order to get acquainted with the island's landscape and popular destinations. Our tour guide, Kala, was absolutely phenomenal! Not only did he show us all of the beautiful sights and landscapes that the island has to offer but he was also an encyclopedia of information! You could ask Kala almost anything about the island and he would almost certainly have the answer. Kala was a historian, a geographer, a geologist, a horticulturalist and even a sociologist all in one! He was a great story teller! Kala was also extremely hospitable, professional, warm, and inviting--right from the start to the end of the tour!Somehow he managed to keep enthusiastic for the 10+ hour long day. Kala mentioned he used to work in the high end resorts in the North Shore and you can really tell that he did, as he provides extremely professional service. He really went out of his way to make sure the guests were all getting the most out of the experience. When we learned the lava was really high in the Volcanoes National Park, Kala made a few separate attempts to return to the site, as the grounds were extremely steamy that particular day. He REALLY wanted us to see the lava, but it is so sad to say the weather did not cooperate that particular day despite Kala's greatest efforts. Despite this bad luck, we were fortunate enough to see all the other beautiful sites that Wasabi tours promises to take you! Finally, to top the day off, Kala knew how much I wanted to see some of the Hawaiian Honu (sea turtles), and he found me some of those as well! Overall, Wasabi Tours does a really great job preparing a fun and informative day for guests. Ultimately, a big thank you to Kala for keeping us entertained and showing us around the tropical paradise of Hawaii!

Mahalo!

ハワイ島 パラセイリング ＜午前・午後／カイルアコナ発＞ by UFO Parasail

Third time's the charm. 三度めの正直

Reviewed by: ラニカイ

I stayed in Waikoloa on the Big Island this time, and since I wanted to go parasailing, I drove to Kona to check in. On the first day, the boat took a long time to return, and due to a malfunction, I couldn't fly even after two time changes. The next day, because of bad weather, I was finally able to board the boat on the third attempt. Other foreigners who came at the same time were also saying they wanted to fly this time. The altitude was higher than I expected, and the view of the town of Kona was very refreshing. I paid $45 to have a video uploaded to YouTube. The crew's driving was very skilled, and they kept us entertained with their exciting driving while we waited. I think it's better than parasailing in Hawaii Kai!

今回ハワイ島のワイコロアに滞在しておりましたがパラセイリングをしたかったのでコナまでドライブしてチェックインしました。初日はなかなかボートが戻らず２回も時間変更→船の故障で飛べませんでした。次の日は天候不順のため飛ばす、
三度めの正直でやっとボートに乗り込みました。同じ時期に来ていた他の外国人も今度はとびたいねって行ってました。思ったよりも高度が高くコナの街を一望しとても爽快でした。45ドル払いYouTubeに動画をアップしてもらいました。クルーの運転はとても上手で待っている間も激しい運転で楽しませてくれました。ハワイカイのパラセイリングよりもいいと思います！

ワイピオ渓谷　乗馬ツアー　絶景のなかを気軽に乗馬体験 ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞ by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

It's a relaxing and leisurely healing activity. のんびりゆったり癒しのアクティビティです。

Reviewed by: りゅう

Last time, I experienced horseback riding at a ranch on the Big Island, and it left a lasting impression, so this time I participated in a horseback riding tour in Waipi'o Valley.

It was not difficult at all, and the horses followed along quietly in line, making it a truly relaxing activity. While gazing at the Waipi'o Valley, which is said to be a power spot, the only sound was the hoofbeats of the horses, which I think is the very essence of "healing." On the other hand, if you're looking for the feeling of "controlling the horse," it might be better to run freely at a ranch.

The location of the shop might be a bit hard to find. It's more reliable to go to the observation deck first and then come back.

Horseback riding while enjoying the majestic ocean of the Big Island, and leisurely viewing the healing valley from the back of a horse—either way, horseback riding is recommended as an activity to savor the land of Hawaii.

前回、ハワイ島の牧場で乗馬を体験し、とても心に残ったので、
今回はワイピオ渓谷の乗馬ツアーに参加しました。

少しも難しいことはなく、馬も大人しく列に着いていくので、
本当にのんびりできるアクティビティでした。
パワースポットと言われるワイピオ渓谷をながめながら、
馬の足音だけが響く空間はまさに「癒し」そのものだと思います。
逆に「馬を操っている感」は薄いので、それを求めるなら牧場で自由に駆け回るほうがいいかも。

お店の場所はちょっとわかりにくいかもしれません。
一度、展望台まで行ってから戻ってきたほうが確実です。

ハワイ島の雄大な海を観ながら牧場を駆け回る乗馬、
癒しの谷をのんびりと馬の背から眺める乗馬、
いずれにしてもハワイの大地を味わうアクティビティとして、
乗馬はオススメです。

Reviewed by: メルちゃん

I wanted to go snorkeling, so I joined this tour. I was a bit worried because I brought my 85-year-old mother, but the cruise staff prepared various swimming equipment so that anyone, regardless of age, could enjoy themselves. My mother was able to see tropical fish and coral reefs for the first time without getting her face wet, and she was very moved. I felt it was worth bringing her along, and I'm really glad I participated. I was also concerned about seasickness, but it turned out to be completely fine. In fact, my husband took motion sickness medication and ended up feeling sleepy, and I later thought I shouldn't have given it to him. Anyway, the fun time passed in the blink of an eye, and I wished we could have enjoyed it a little longer.

シュノーケリングがやりたくて、このツアーにに参加しました。　ただ８５歳の母を連れてなので、少し心配していましたが、年齢関係なく、楽しむ気があれば誰でも楽しめるように、クルーズのスタッフの方がたが、いろいろな水泳用具を用意してくださり、母も顔に水をつけずに、熱帯魚やサンゴ礁を初めて見ることができ、とても感激しておりました。　私も母を連れて行った甲斐があり、本当に参加して良かったです。　船酔いも心配しましたが、全く大丈夫でした。むしろ、主人は酔い止め薬を飲んで反対に眠くなってしまい、飲ませなければ良かったと後で思いました。　とにかく、楽しい時間があっという間に過ぎた感じで、もう少し楽しんでいたいぐらいでした。

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

The best! ♪ 最高♪

Reviewed by: YUMIKO

On the day of the trip, the sky over Kealakekua Bay was cloudy, but the water temperature was not as cold as I expected, and I was lucky to swim in the clear sea with a large turtle, which made me very satisfied♪

Along the way, I also saw dolphins three times, which was exciting! They were doing spin jumps and were so cute.

The staff spoke English, but they were friendly and kind. I also received an instruction manual in Japanese.

Overall, ocean rafting was amazing♪

Even though we are in our 40s and 50s, we had a great time♪

You might want to bring motion sickness medication.

After snorkeling, as the reviews mentioned, my body got really cold, and I had to give up on the second snorkeling session. On the way back, the wind felt chilly, so I recommend that women wear a thick hoodie or windbreaker, or even layer up.

During rafting, the sun was strong, and the wind hit my eyes, so wearing sunglasses was definitely the right choice.

On the way back, the waves got particularly high, and the boat bounced quite a bit. It was fun in its own way, but it might be tough for those with back issues (this was also mentioned in the Japanese instruction manual).

We drove from the Marriott Hotel, and it was easy to find; it took less than 30 minutes.

This is a tour I highly recommend and would like to use again.

I will definitely use it next time.

当日、ケアラケクア湾方面は曇り空でしたが 水温は想像より冷たくなく、透明度の良い海でラッキーな事に、大きな亀とも一緒に泳げて満足でした♪　

途中、イルカも３度見れてテンション↑スピンジャンプしたり可愛いかったです。

スタッフは英語ですが、愛想も良く優しかったです。日本語の説明書ももらえます。

とにかくオーシャンラフティング最高♪

４０～５０代の私達ですが、大盛り上がりでした♪

酔い止め薬は必須かも。

シュノーケル後、口コミどうり体が冷え切り、寒くて２回目のシュノーケルは断念。帰りは風が冷たく感じるので、女子は厚手のパーカーかウインドブレーカーを１枚と言わず重ね着をお薦めします。

ラフティング中、日差しが強く目にも風が強く当たるのでサングラスをかけてて正解でした。

帰りは特に波が高くなり、かなりボートが跳ねます。それはそれで楽しかったので最高でしたが、腰の悪い方は確かに キツイかも・・・（日本語の説明書にも記載してありましたが）

マリオットホテルからレンタカーで行きましたが、解りやすく３０分も掛かりません。

また利用したいお薦めのツアーです。

It's good, but... 良いけど・・・

Reviewed by: ミッキーママ

Show: Overall, it was great. The female dancers were very graceful, and I was captivated by them. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand the host's jokes because I don't speak English, which was disappointing. The foreigners around me seemed to be enjoying it and laughing.

Food & Drinks: There were more options than I expected, and the food was quite tasty. The Mai Tai and Lava Flow were delicious. It was an all-you-can-drink, but since I can't drink much... I didn't really feel the benefits of the premium seats. I think it's perfectly fine to go early and get seats in the front row of the regular section. The show does pause several times before it gets dark. If you time it right around sunset, you can go to the left side of the stage near the fence, where you can see the ocean and take beautiful sunset photos through the palm trees!

ショー：全体的に良かったです。ダンサーの女性達がとても優雅で見惚れました。英語が解らなかったので、司会の方のジョークが理解出来ず、残念。周りの外人さん達はウケてて楽しそうでした。料理・ドリンク：想像より種類もあり、普通に美味しかったです。マイタイ・ラバフローが美味しかったです。飲み放題でしたが、そんなに飲めない方なので・・・。プレミアムシートのメリットは特に感じませんでした。早い時間に行って、普通席の前列をゲットでぜんぜん良いと思います。ショーは、暗くなるまでに何度か中断します。サンセットタイムで日の入りが近くなった頃を見計らい、ステージに向かって左側のフェンスの方まで行くと海が見え、ヤシの木越しの とても綺麗なサンセットの写真が撮れますよ♪

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

Fun snorkeling even for beginners. 初めてでも楽しいシュノーケリング

Reviewed by: MISO

At 60 years old, my spouse and I participated. It was our first time snorkeling, and I was worried about our age, but we signed up after being encouraged by comments from those with experience. We were the only Japanese participants, but the staff and other participants were kind, so we managed even without understanding English.

We received a Japanese instruction manual in advance for the history and location, as well as how to use the snorkel and goggles, but we left without having time to read it. The snorkeling experience was sufficient with just a brief lesson from the instructor. Apparently, Kealakekua Bay is the best snorkeling spot on the Big Island, and there were so many types of fish and coral that we could have watched them forever. I was surprised by the size of the purple sea urchins and the black sea urchins. We were also able to see dolphins perfectly. The rafting on the military rubber boat was thrilling, and I was very satisfied. We made wonderful memories.

However, you really need to be careful about sunburn. Once you get on the rubber boat, you can't let go of the ropes, so it's essential to apply sunscreen all over your body before boarding. I forgot to apply it on the underside of my feet and ended up with a bad sunburn on my unprotected calves. I brought a cream-type sunscreen from Japan, but all the foreign participants were using spray sunscreen. There are super strong sprays with SPF 100 available, so I recommend buying sunscreen locally. It's a good idea to read the instructions, consider the time needed to apply sunscreen perfectly, and check in early. I would like to participate again when I come to the Big Island.

６０歳、夫婦で参加しました。シュノーケリングは初めてだし年齢的にも心配しましたが、参加経験者のコメントに後押しされ申込しました。日本人は我々２人だけでしたが、スタッフも他の参加者の方々も親切にしてくれたので、英語はわからなくても何とかなりました。

歴史や場所について、シュノーケルやメガネの使い方は、日本語の説明書を事前にくれましたが、読む間もなく出発。シュノーケリングは、インストラクターのワンポイントレッスンだけでも十分でした。アラケクア湾はハワイ島で一番のシュノーケリングポイントらしいですが、魚も珊瑚も種類が多く、いつまで見ていても飽きません。ムラサキウニやバフンウニが大きいことにびっくり。イルカもバッチリ見ることができました。軍用ゴムボートでのラフティングもスリルがあり、大満足。楽しい思い出ができました。

しかし、日焼けには本当に注意が必要です。ゴムボートに乗ってからは、ロープから手を離せなくなるので、乗船前に日焼け止めを全身に塗ることが必須です。私は、足の裏側に塗り忘れ失敗しました。シュノーケリング中に、無防備だったふくらはぎがひどく日焼けしてしまいました。私の日焼け止めは日本から持参したクリームタイプですが、外国の参加者は皆さんスプレー式の日焼け止めを使っていました。SPF100という超強力スプレーもあるので、日焼け止めは現地で買うのがお薦めです。説明書を読み、日焼け止めを完璧に塗る時間を考え、早めにチェックインするのが良いですね。また、ハワイ島に来たら参加したいと思います。

A fun time 楽しい時間

I had seen Waipi'o Valley from above, but next time, I definitely want to ride through the valley, as my husband hopes. We were a Japanese couple among the foreign participants. It was a fun time, leisurely riding through the forest and sometimes splashing across the river. When a foreigner spurred their horse, mine reacted and charged into the river at an incredible speed—it was truly surprising! Since it was my second time riding, I held onto the reins tightly, worried about letting go, and I was relieved that nothing happened. (My husband was also worried he might fall off!) Next time, a buggy ride sounds interesting too!

ワイピオ渓谷　乗馬ツアー　絶景のなかを気軽に乗馬体験 ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞ by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

Refreshing! 爽快！

Reviewed by: のもてぃ

We participated as a family in mid-March. To enter the Waipi'o Valley, you can go by car, horse-drawn carriage, four-wheeler, or horseback. Since our child wasn't old enough to drive a buggy, we chose to ride horses. It was our family's first horseback riding experience, lasting about two hours, and we were able to enjoy it with peace of mind. The weather was great, making it a perfect day.

After checking in, we browsed some nearby souvenirs until it was time to depart. First, we took a large 4WD van from the top of the valley down to the horse stable office. This road was quite steep, and it seemed like only a 4WD could make it up. At one point, the vehicle almost got stuck while crossing a small river.

Two hours of horseback riding felt just right. Any longer, and I think my backside would have been in pain. There were nine participants in total: three from Europe and America, two from Asia, and our family of four. The instructions were in English, but surprisingly, the basics of handling the horse were easy enough for children to understand. There was also a discussion about helmets, and since they weren't required by the waiver, the kids were fine without them. Our family was very satisfied with our first horseback riding experience. It was exhilarating to have the horse move according to our will. At first, I was so focused on handling the horse that I didn't notice the scenery, but as I got used to it, I was able to fully enjoy the deep nature of Waipi'o.

I was surprised to learn that there are people living at the bottom of the valley. The instructor mentioned that she lived there as a child and commuted to school from there every day. She said her grandmother still lives there. Occasionally, we saw people walking, and greeting them from horseback made me feel a bit important, which was nice (laughs).

The price was reasonable, and we joined from Kona, enjoying the drive along the way. I highly recommend this tour. It was also great to see the buildings from the movie "Honeymoon in Hawaii" in the nearby town of Honokaa.

By the way, the horse I rode, named Paul, was a bit of a troublemaker. I think he probably got scolded the most by the instructor. It wasn't my riding skills, I swear—probably (laughs).

3月中頃に家族で参加してきました。
ワイピオの渓谷内に踏み入るには、車か馬車か4輪バギーか馬。
子供がバギーを運転できる年齢ではなかったので馬にしました。
約二時間の家族4人初乗馬体験でしたが安心して楽しめました。
天気も良く、最高の一日となりました。

受付を済ませ、近接したお土産物を見ているうちに出発時間。
まずは大きな４ＷＤのバンで渓谷の上から下の馬小屋事務所まで。
この道もすごい崖で4WD以外はちょっと登れなくなりそう。
途中、小さな川を渡るときも車がはまりかけました。

乗馬の2時間もちょうどいいかな。これ以上だとお尻が悲鳴をあげそうです。
参加人数は、9人でした。内欧米人が3人、アジア系が2人と我が家の4名。
説明は英語でしたが意外と基本の馬の扱いは簡単で、子供でも乗り方は十分理解できます。
何度か話題になってるヘルメットも誓約書に要らないとすれば子供もかぶらずにOKでしたよ。
初めての乗馬に家族も大満足。馬が自分の意思どおりに動くのは快感です。
前半は馬の扱いに夢中で景色に気が回りませんでしたが、慣れてくるとワイピオの深い大自然を堪能できました。

びっくりしたのは渓谷の下にも住んでいる人がいること。
インストラクターのお姉さんも子供のころは渓谷の下に住んでいて毎日そこから学校に
通っていたそうです。おばあちゃんは今でも住んでるって言ってた。
たまに歩いてる人がいるんだけど、馬の上から挨拶するとちょっと自分が偉くなったようで
気分がよかったです(笑)

お値段も安いし、KONAから参加したんですが途中のドライブもいい感じだし、
お勧めのツアーですね。
近くにあるホノカア（昔、ホノカアボーイという映画の舞台になった）の町で
映画の建物を見れたのも良かったです。

ちなみに私が乗ったポールという馬はちょっと暴れん坊でした。
たぶんインストラクターのお姉さんに一番怒られてたんじゃないかな。
私の乗馬の技術のせいではないですよ～、たぶん(笑)

Hawaii Zipline Tours - Big Island Waterfall & Rainforest Zip Adventure

Great experience, great group of people (Eco)

Reviewed by: Robert

The zipline trip was a lot of fun. The views were great. Zipping over or past a couple of waterfalls was cool.
We happened to be there when the owners/bosses were out trying some new things. They took time to talk to us and genuinely solicited feedback that would make this and other tours more enjoyable. They were as friendly and personable as our excellent guides, Tim and Nainoa, jumping in to take photos, check on us to make sure we were having a good time, and to provide local information. Sure, they want more business, but also wanted to make sure we had enough fun that we would be repeat business as well. I'm sold. I highly recommend this zip for anyone looking to have some fun and excitement, see some cool scenery, and chat with a couple of locals.
If you go in realizing this is not constant action, you will enjoy this trip. Remember, it does take time to clip and unclip a group of people, one by one. But, take this time to talk to the guides and other members of the group, and those wait times pass by quickly...plus, you can get some fun stories or facts from the guides. Several of the stops have great views, as well.

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

I was able to meet a family of whales!! 鯨の家族にも会えた！！

Reviewed by: J.O

We set sail on the Zodiac and within less than 20 minutes, we unexpectedly encountered a family of whales. It was an astonishing surprise when a baby whale swam beneath the boat, and both the participants and the guide were thrilled. We could even hear their calls through the underwater microphone. After playing with the whales for about 30 minutes, we moved the boat forward for about 10 minutes and encountered another family of whales. It was an unexpected experience. After finishing snorkeling in the beautiful sea with Captain Cook's monument, a large pod of dolphins appeared, swimming around the boat, and we lost track of time as we all cheered together. It’s rare to have such encounters with whales and dolphins, but we had an unexpected experience, making it a wonderful tour.

ソディアック号で出港して20分足らずで何と鯨の家族とバッタリ遭遇。子鯨がボートの下で泳ぐというビックリするようなハプニングで参加者はじめガイドさんも大興奮。水中マイクで鳴き声まで聞けました。30分程鯨と遊んでから10分ほどボートを進めると別な鯨の家族と遭遇。思いがけない体験ができました。キャプテンクックのモニュメントがある綺麗な海でのシュノーケリングを終えると今度はイルカの大群が現れボートの周辺を泳ぎ、時を忘れて皆で歓声を上げました。今回ほど鯨やイルカと会えることは珍しいとのことですが、思いかけない体験ができ、素晴らしいツアーになりました。

Snorkel and whales

Reviewed by: Emma

Fabulous time, saw young humpbacks repeat breeches very close to the boat. Best part was when the sails were up. Well worth it.

Mark and Micah were so enthusiastic and knowledgeable! It made for a great time and they had great personalities! Great with our kids and let them help steer the boat! So fun. My only wish is that it was 1 hour or more.

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

Good combo kayak/snorkel experience

Reviewed by: Hawaii visitor

Fun and well organized experience. This is a very physical activity and should be attempted by people who are in good physical condition. This is especially true in rough surf. Tour guides were attentive and knowledgeable.
