I was drawn to the rafting and the phrase "Lava Cave Adventure," so I joined this tour. Everyone else was American. I couldn't understand English at all, but I was able to enjoy the atmosphere.
Seeing the Big Island of Hawaii from the sea was impressive, and it reminded me that there are still many uncharted areas and that it is a volcanic island. On the way there, I was nervous because I wasn't used to the speed of the boat and the seating position, but I got used to it on the way back. To see the land from my seat, I had to turn my body, so choosing the right seating point is important. The boat occasionally slowed down and spun around, which felt like riding a roller coaster and was fun.
It was my first time snorkeling, and there were plenty of fish, which I enjoyed. They lent floaties to those who were inexperienced, so I think it alleviated the anxiety for beginners. There was no explanation of how long we would be snorkeling, so I didn't know when it would end. The fruit they served on the boat was very delicious. Since my body was cold, it would have been even better if they had offered warm drinks instead of just water.
I had imagined cave exploration with the phrase "Lava Cave Adventure," but there were no caves, just entering a cove, which was disappointing and different from my expectations. However, I was very moved and satisfied to see dolphins jumping and swimming in a pod very close to us on the way back.
ラフティングと「溶岩洞窟アドベンチャー」というフレーズに惹かれ、このツアーに参加しました。私達以外は全員アメリカ人でした。英語が全く判らなかったですが、雰囲気は十分楽しめました。
海から見るハワイ島はスケールが大きくて、まだ未開の地が沢山ある事や火山の島であることを再認識できました。往きはボートのスピード感や座る体勢に慣れずに緊張しましたが、帰りは慣れました。座る位置で陸を見るには体を反転させなければならず、座るポイント選びも重要かと思います。ボートは時折スピードを緩めたり回転したりと、ジェットコースターに乗っている様で楽しかったです。
シュノーケリングは初めてでしたが、魚もたくさんいて楽しめました。不慣れな人には浮き輪を貸してくれたので、初心者の方の不安感は取り除けると思います。何分ぐらいという説明がなかったので、終了のタイミングが判りませんでした。船上で切り分けてくれたフルーツはとても美味しかったです。体が冷えているので、お水より温かい飲み物が出ればなお更GOODでした。
「溶岩洞窟アドベンチャー」というフレーズで洞窟探検を想像していたのですが、洞窟らしきものはなく、入江に入っただけだったので、イメージと違いガッカリしました。
帰りにイルカのジャンピングや群れをとても近くで見れた事にはとても感動し、満足しました。

My husband and I have very little English skills. Even so, the captain and the female crew members were very considerate, and we had no trouble at all, even though we were the only two Japanese on board. The staff's smiles during check-in were pleasant, and above all, the camaraderie between the captain and the crew was evident, creating a friendly atmosphere that extended to the guests, making everyone very friendly by the end of the tour.
The tour started with dolphin watching. We sped out to sea on a speedboat, passing various tour boats. Then, we spotted a pod of dolphins. They jumped and performed impressive twists that made me think, "Are you Shirai-kun?" They chased the boat and swam right next to us. We were just sitting on the edge of the boat, so the experience felt incredibly real. The dolphins were very generous with their performances. Since there were no other boats around, it might have been the captain's secret spot.
We also had plenty of time for snorkeling. On the way back, the boat tilted so much that I thought it might capsize, and the captain was really into it. It was much more thrilling and fun than any amusement park attraction. The lava caves were definitely a place that other boats wouldn't reach. I highly recommend participating. By the way, my husband and I are in our 60s, and many of the Americans participating were quite elderly as well.
英語力がほとんどない私達夫婦。 それでもキャプテンや同乗の女性クルーが何かと気を遣ってくれ、日本人は2人だけという状況でも全く困りませんでした。
チェックインの時もスタッフの笑顔が感じよかったし、何よりもキャプテンとクルーの仲が良く、その雰囲気がゲストにまで伝わってツアーの終わりには皆が大変フレンドリーになっていました。ツアーはイルカウォッチングからスタート。いろんなツアーの船が来ていたところからスピードボートで沖へひたすら走る、走る。すると、そこにイルカの群れが。ジャンプして、おまけに、おまえは白井君かと思わず感心するほどの見事なひねり。ボートの後を追いかけたり、すぐ横を泳いだり。何せボートの縁に腰かけているだけですから、そのリアルなことといったら。イルカ君たちも大サービス。他の船はいませんでしたからキャプテンの秘密ポイントかも。
シュノーケリングの時間もたっぷり。帰りにはボートがひっくり返るんじゃないかというくらいあっちに傾けたりこっちに傾けたり、キャプテンもノリノリ。そこいらのアトラクションよりずっと迫力があり面白かったですよ。溶岩洞窟は他のボートでは絶対あそこまで行けないだろうし。参加をお勧めします。ちなみに私達夫婦は60代。参加されていた米国の方達も結構高齢でしたよ。

If you're visiting the Kona side of the Big Island, this dinner cruise is a MUST! It has it all: beautiful coastal views as you sail down to the Captain Cook monument, knowledgable guide who provides interesting historical information about the island (my husband and I love to learn new things), friendly/service-oriented staff, great dinner buffet, and a free premium drink! It was so relaxing and not too short of a cruise (but also not too long). We had a great time! Definitely would do it again.

I thought I was fine since I had already seen dolphins in Honolulu, but when my schedule opened up, I quickly changed my plans to join. Since it was a small group, the price was a bit higher, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. I never thought I would be able to do a dolphin swim, but surprisingly, I was able to! I wore longer fins, and a female staff member guided me underwater, allowing me to catch up with the pod of dolphins several times. It was truly moving. I don't think I'll have an experience like this again. I felt that the small group size contributed to it. The dolphins in Honolulu were just passing by, so swimming with them was quite far from reality. Also, the wetsuits need to be reserved in advance, so the water can get quite cold, so don't forget if you need one. The sun is strong, but it can get pretty chilly while moving around. There was no mention of tips, but since it's Hawaii, I was encouraged to pay the captain, so I did. I happened to have cash on hand, which was good, but I think it would help everyone if it was mentioned in advance. It was a very valuable experience. Thank you very much.
イルカはホノルルで見たからもういいかなと思っていたのですが、日程が開いたので急遽予定変更で参加しました。少人数なのでお値段は少し高めでしたが、十分に楽しめました。ドルフィンスイムなんてあり得ないと思っていましたが、なんとなんと出来ましたよ。長めのフィンを装着し、女性のスタッフが水中で手引きして下さり、イルカの群れにグングンと追いつく事が数回出来ました。感動感動でした。こんな経験はもうないだろうなと思います。少人数だからこそかなとも感じました。ホノルルのイルカは移動中だったので一緒に泳ぐとは程遠いかったです。またウエットは事前予約なので海中は結構冷えますから必要な方はお忘れなく。日差し強いですが移動中は結構冷えます。またチップの記載が無かったのですがハワイですからキャプテンに払う様に促されたので、支払いました。たまたま持ち合せていたので良かったですが、必要であれば記載していてくれると皆さん助かると思います。とても貴重な経験でした。ありがとうございました。

The Good:
The snorkeling was amazing, right by the capt. cook monument, lots of fish and coral to be seen. The staff was VERY friendly and accommodating to the needs of the clients (snorkeling alternatives for the scared/claustrophobic, flotation devices, vast selection of equipment). The food was better than expected (continental breakfast followed by a hot dog or a well done BBQ cheeseburger, very thin but acceptable.) Booze was reasonably priced.
The Bad:
The boat was at MAXIMUM capacity. SNUBA is an extra $70 (surprise!) There is a dude videotaping the whole thing and semi-forcably interviewing EVERYONE (even the very socially uncomfortable, myself) who seemed very used-car-salesmanly. He sold his DVD for $70, even though it seemed like mostly stock footage.
The Verdict:
Would not do again. Should be 50% cheaper or 50% less crowded. If you really just want to see some fish buy yourself a snorkel and mask and get yourself to the capt. cook monument via hike or kayak

Last year, I participated in a horseback riding tour that went up Waipi'o Valley, so this year I joined a tour that explored the valley below, and the lower course was definitely more fun!
In particular, crossing a river that was about waist-deep on the horse, with my feet lifted up in the stirrups, was truly thrilling and enjoyable.
I have a British-style riding license, but I found Western riding to be very enjoyable as well.
The staff brought a lot of organic fruits like avocados and starfruit to share with us.
The horses were well-trained, so I felt safe while riding.
They were all very well-behaved horses.
I highly recommend it!!

特に、馬の腰ぐらいまである深さの川を、足を鐙ごと上にあげて川を渡ったのは本当にスリリングで楽しかったです。
ブリティッシュスタイルのライセンスを持っている私ですが、ウエスタン乗りも非常に楽しかったです。
スタッフがアボガドやスターフルーツなどオーガニックフルーツをたくさん採ってきて振舞ってくれます。
お馬も良く調教されてるから、安心してライディングできました。

My daughter and I really enjoyed horseback riding through Waipio Valley. Just be warned that if it is the dry sesson, you won't see any waterfalls. We did see lots of water though in addition to taro fields, wild horses and plenty of beautiful scenery. Our guides, Dava and Robert were entertaining, yet professional. I highly recommend this tour, as many people try to hike down into the valley and don't get far. Then they have to walk back up that very steep road! One warning. Do wear long pants or some sort of insect repellant. We were told there were no mosquitos but my daughter and I both returned with lots of bites.

Last year, three adults participated in the morning tour. It was so good that we decided to join again. This year, since my grandchild is with us, we participated in the afternoon tour with a shorter snorkeling time. It seems the weather is better in the morning, but we still had a great time even with a little cloud cover. My grandchild enjoyed looking underwater with the mat that has a glass viewing window and was able to see many fish! Kealakekua Bay is truly beautiful! Next time, I want to join the morning tour again where we can enjoy snorkeling twice.
去年は大人3人で午前のツアーに参加。とても良かったので再度の参加を決めました。今年は孫が一緒なのでスノーケル時間の短い午後のツアーに参加しました。午前中の方がお天気はいいようですが、少し曇でも十分楽しめました。孫もガラスの覗き窓のついたマットでずっと海中を覗いて魚がたくさん見れたようで楽しんでくれました♪ケアラケクア湾は本当に綺麗です♪次回はスノーケルが2回楽しめる午前のツアーにまた参加したいです。

We participated in a 1.5-hour course with a group of five, including two of us and three American family members. We leisurely progressed in a single line through a very spacious and pleasant ranch. Perhaps because there were children, we mostly walked at a slow pace. They also gave us time to stop and take photos along the way. The riding time was exactly one and a half hours. It was fun, but I thought that a 2.5-hour ride might get boring.

We participated as a mature couple. Despite putting in the effort to scout the day before, we made the mistake of forgetting to reconfirm, which made us a bit anxious on the day of the event. However, we passed through the check-in without any issues.
The boat was surprisingly large and didn't sway too much, but there were some people who got seasick, so motion sickness medication might be essential. Most of the passengers were Westerners. There were a couple and a family from South Korea, but we were the only Japanese. All the explanations were in English, which went right over my head. However, it was fine as long as I carefully read the Japanese instructions handed out at check-in.
Kealakekua Bay has exceptional clarity. We enjoyed a luxurious time playing with beautiful fish. Previously, I had dived at various resorts as a resort diver, but I was moved by the beautiful underwater scenery after a long time. The weather was good, and the light shone through, making the corals and colorful fish sparkle. This was the first time I felt so satisfied with snorkeling.
The hamburger for lunch was very delicious, and I couldn't help but ask for a second serving. If I come back to the Big Island, I would love to see that beautiful sea again.

I participated alone in August. I was told to confirm by phone at 4 PM on the day of the event, so I called, but it seemed that it wasn't particularly necessary, which surprised me. It seems that it's not needed unless the weather is particularly dangerous.
After going to the office and completing the check-in, they lend you a wetsuit in the next room without saying anything. After that, you go to the place where the boat departs on your own. The directions are simple, but I ended up getting lost unexpectedly. In fact, there were people who got lost and couldn't make it in time, so I think those who lack confidence should allow themselves plenty of time to get there.
The entire process is in English, but there aren't any detailed instructions, so if you have the guts, you'll be fine. It's a valuable experience. By the way, there were participants who couldn't swim and children as well.
After getting in the water, your body gets quite cold, so a towel and something to wear over yourself are essential. Even in August, my teeth were chattering.
8月に1人で参加しました。
当日の4時に電話で確認をとのことだったので、電話してみましたが、特に必要じゃないようで、かえってビックリされました。特に天候が危ない感じとかじゃなければ必要なさそうです。
事務所に行って、受付を済ますと、何も言わなくても隣の部屋でウエットスーツを貸してくれます。その後、自分で船が出る場所まで行きます。道順は簡単なのですが、あっけなく迷いました。実際、道に迷って間に合わず参加できなかった人たちもいたので、自信が無い人は余裕をもって行ったほうがいいと思います。
全行程英語ですが、特に細かい指示もないので、度胸があれば大丈夫です。価値のある経験ができます。

I participated in the afternoon session, but I made a mistake with the meeting time and arrived a bit late, though they waited for me. The staff was kind.
The rafting exceeded my expectations in terms of speed, just as the reviews said. We bounced off the waves and then dropped suddenly, and my backside was getting hit repeatedly. Of course, I couldn't let go of the handrails.
After quite a distance, we were taken to the snorkeling spot, where we stayed for an hour. They also lent us noodle-shaped floaties. Without those, I, being in my forties, would have reached my physical limit. There were sea urchins scattered on the rocks, and I saw a lot of fish. It was quite deep just a little away from the shore, which was a bit scary. After returning home, I learned about the shark incident, so thinking back, I'm just glad I was safe.
Since the sun wasn't shining too much, my 8-year-old son got cold after about 15 minutes and got back on the boat, so I followed shortly after. That was a mistake... I tend to get seasick, and I completely got seasick on the boat that was anchored and swaying with the waves. They provided snacks, drinks, and cut fruits, and my son was munching away. I was struggling during the waiting time and felt like I was going to pass out (laughs).
On the way back, I was just thinking about how I couldn't wait to get back, but it seemed that the four boys, including my 8-year-old, were very satisfied.
As you can see, opinions within the family were quite divided, so it might be tough for those who are not fond of roller coasters, but I recommend it for those who love speed and find the beach a bit lacking.

ラフティング、口コミ通り予想を超えるスピードでした。波に当たっては跳ね上がりそして急落下、お尻もドンドン打ち付けられます。もちろん手は絶対手すりを離せません。
まだかまだかと結構な距離を走り、シュノーケリングスポットに連れて来られて、そこで1時間滞在。
ヌードルという棒状の浮き輪も貸してくれます。これがないとアラフォーの私は体力的に限界。岩場にはウニもゴロゴロ、お魚もたくさん見れました。岸から少し離れただけでかなり深いので、少し怖かったな。
帰国後、サメの事件を知ったので、今考えると無事で何よりです。
太陽があまり照ってなかったので8歳の息子が15分程で寒がり、ボートに上がったので私も間も無く上がりました。
それがいけなかった。。
元々船酔いする私は、その停泊して波に揺られるボートに完全に酔ってしまいました。
スナック菓子や飲物、カットフルーツを出してくれて、息子はムシャムシャ食べてました。私はそれからの待ち時間が辛過ぎて、気を失いそうでした(笑)
帰りのボートも早く着かないかとばかり考えてましたが、私以外の8歳児含む男4人は大満足だったようです。
このように家族内でも評価が真っ二つなので、ジェットコースターが苦手な方には辛いかもしれませんが、スピード好きな方、ビーチでは物足りない方にはオススメです。

Dear Iruka,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour this time. Hearing the word "moving" from our customers connects to our own emotions. The day you joined us was filled with excitement as we encountered not only the striped dolphin but also the rough-toothed dolphin and the false killer whale. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the tips. We look forward to seeing you again on another occasion.
いるか様。今回は弊社のツアーにご参加くださり誠にありがとうございます。お客様から”感動”というお言葉を聞くことが私共の感動に繋がります。いるか様にご参加いただいた日はハシナガイルカの他にマダライルカ、オキゴンドウにも遭遇してワクワク感いっぱいの日でしたね。また、チップについてのご指摘ありがとうございます。またの機会にお会いできますこと楽しみにいたしております。
