Mike Nelson was the best guide! He knew everything about the island - and catered to our needs. He gave us options based on our interests and prior experience on the island. He did his best to give us a good understanding of the people, history, culture, and economy of the island. Knew local legends, astronomical information, plant and animal facts, as well as best "tips" on everything from restaurants and beaches, to coffee and desserts.

It was an emotional moment as so many dolphins approached us, and in the end, Nankai even showed us a twist jump. I highly recommend it.
I was really tense on the boat, worried about seasickness, but the staff skillfully eased my feelings and lifted my spirits. At first, I struggled to get used to the water and ended up drinking seawater, but with the staff's appropriate advice, I got accustomed to it in the second half, my field of vision expanded, and I became more relaxed. I think anyone can enjoy this experience.
野生とは思えないほど、沢山のイルカが寄ってきてくれ、最後はひねりをいれたジャンプを南海も見せてくれました。感動のひと時でした。お勧めです。
私は金づちの上に、船酔いが心配で、ガチガチだったのですが、スタッフの方が上手に気持ちをほぐし、テンションをあげてくれました。初めは水の中に慣れず、海水を飲んだりと苦戦しましたがスタッフの適切なアドバイスで後半は慣れ、視野も広がり、余裕もでてきました。誰でも楽しめると思います。

We participated as a couple at the end of May. It was the best starry sky and elevation experience of our lives. It's definitely worth taking the time to reach the summit of Mauna Kea (the transportation is by car, and the guide's stories during the drive are so interesting that it doesn't feel burdensome at all). The power of the Subaru Telescope we stopped by along the way is also impressive. If you want to fully enjoy the nature of the Big Island, this is a tour you must join.
5月末に夫婦で参加しました。今までの人生の中で一番の星空と標高を経験しました。時間をかけてマウナケア山頂まで行く価値は十分にあります(移動は車ですし,車中のガイドさんのお話が面白いので全く苦になりません)。途中に立ち寄ったすばる望遠鏡の迫力にも圧巻です。ハワイ島の自然を漫喫したければ,必ず参加すべきツアーです。

A vast ranch where I went for my first horseback riding experience. I received guidance from two friendly and wonderful women, and then it was time to challenge myself. I was surprised that I had to ride the horse on my own right away, but the horses were quite accustomed to it. When we picked up the pace a bit, I got scared and asked to walk slowly instead. However, going up and down the mountain slopes and through the muddy areas kept my heart racing the whole time. My husband, who doesn't speak English, seemed to have a hard time expressing his thoughts, but aside from that, it was truly a refreshing and wonderful experience. We participated in the one-and-a-half-hour plan, and later I felt muscle soreness in my inner thighs, so I was glad we didn't choose the three-hour option. If I visit the Big Island again, I would love to participate once more.
初めての乗馬に訪れたとてつもなく広い牧場。フレンドリーで素敵な女性二人に指導を受け、さあ挑戦。いきなり自分で馬を駆りついて行かなくてはならないのにはビックリしたけど馬達は慣れたものでした。途中で少し速足になった時は恐くなり、ゆっくり歩くだけにしてもらいました。でも山の斜面を登ったり下ったり、ぬかるみの中に入っていったりでずっとドキドキ。英語の喋れない主人は思ったことを伝えられず大変だったようですがそれ以外は本当に爽快で素晴らしい体験になりました。私たちは1時間半のプランに参加したのですが、後で内股に筋肉痛があり3時間にしなくて良かったと思いました。次回ハワイ島に訪れることがあればまた参加したいと思います。

Kayaking with Kevin (owner and our guide that day) was a lot of fun! Kev was very nice and friendly. He did a quick briefing on how to use the kayak and the paddles. And we were on our way exploring bay after bay and caves after caves. There were plenty of locations to snorkel. Kev took great photos, too! He brought us fresh tropical fruits for our snack and they tasted soooo good, especially after the snorkeling and paddling! King Kayak Hawaii is definitely the company to book this adventure with!

My first time on the Big Island of Hawaii! My wife and I participated in an ocean rafting tour that included snorkeling and exploring lava cliffs. Since we departed at 10 AM, we took our time in the morning to stroll around the hotel area before driving to the harbor where we gathered with other participants. We set off a bit earlier than scheduled!
During the ocean rafting to the snorkeling point, we stopped at various spots along the way where they provided explanations, allowing us to enjoy taking photos and sightseeing. We also saw a lot of wild dolphins! I didn't expect to see so many.
At the snorkeling point, the water clarity was outstanding, and since it was in a bay, there were no waves, making it the perfect snorkeling spot. There were plenty of fish, it felt like an aquarium. The sandwiches for lunch were delicious too.
However, the sun in Kona is incredibly strong. Even though I applied sunscreen, I got a severe sunburn on my back because I was so focused on snorkeling! Be careful!
The return rafting offered a breathtaking view of the lava cliffs that can only be seen from the sea. Everyone on the tour was from overseas and they were all really nice people. Thank you!
初めてのハワイ島。シュノーケルと溶岩の岸壁でオーシャンラフティングも楽しめるということで妻と二人で参加させて頂きました!
10時出発なので、朝ゆっくりホテル周辺を散歩などして、レンタカーで集合場所のハーバーへ。他の参加者の方もみんな到着して少し早めに出発!
シュノーケルポイントまでのオーシャンラフティングでは、途中様々なスポットに止まってくれて説明してくれるので、写真撮影や観光を楽しめました。
そして野生のイルカもたくさん!こんなに居るとは思いませんでした。
シュノーケルポイントでは水の透明度が抜群で、湾の中にあるため波もなく、最高のシュノーケルスポットでした。魚の数も多く、まるで水族館。ランチのサンドイッチもおいしかったです。
ただコナの日射しがものすごく強くて。。日焼け止めしていたのですが、シュノーケルに夢中で背中がひどく日焼けしました!要注意です!
帰りのラフティングも、溶岩の岸壁で海からしか見られない貴重な景色で迫力満点。
一緒のツアーの方は皆海外の方でいい人ばかりでした。

I used this service a year and a half ago. Due to the impact of the volcanic eruption, the routes were restricted, and I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't see the volcanic crater. I would have liked to have been informed in advance about the restricted routes.

I've taken three different groups on three different manta swims and this one was the best! I really liked how we were tethered to the boat so that inexperienced snorkelers and people that got cold could easily climb back on the boat while the rest of us could continue to enjoy the mantas. Because we were on the moonlight swim, we were in the harbor by ourselves by the end. All the mantas (four total that night) were ours to observe. It was awesome.
This is really a must-do for your Big Island trip.
Thank you for your wonderful review on our Moonlit Manta Snorkel. We are so pleased your tour was such a success. It is our goal to have every person rate us as the best snorkel tours in Kona! You just described the advantages of doing the Moonlit tour. I always recommend this tour to people with children. Because there are only two to three boats at the later tour time, this allows us to tether the light board directly to the boat instead of swimming the light board in the middle of twenty something boats and their light boards to give you the best show. Some parents might have to switch out with their partner if they bring their young children (toddler's and babies are always welcome). There might also be children and/or adults that have some apprehension and would prefer to have the boat near by as a comfort. We hope you will remember us on your next trip to Kona. Mahalo!

I have traveled to the Big Island several times, but this was my first time participating in a tour. I was a bit anxious about going to a mountain over 4,000 meters high, but I was glad to return safely. It drizzled along the way, and I thought we might not see the stars, but as we ascended, the weather improved, and thanks to the rain, we were able to take pictures with a rainbow in the background. The sunset and stargazing at the summit were truly beautiful. They provided a thorough explanation of the constellations, and I completely forgot my worries and enjoyed myself. I did feel a bit lightheaded near the summit, but I recovered quickly. I'm already thinking about which tour to choose for my next visit to the Big Island.
ハワイ島には数回旅行をしていますが、今回初めてツアーに参加しました。4,000メートル以上の山に行くのは不安もありましたが、無事に帰る事が出来て良かったです。途中霧雨が降り、星は無理かなとあきらめていましたが、上に行くにつれ、天気が回復し、しかも雨のおかげで虹をバックに写真を撮ることも出来ました。頂上でのサンセットと星空観測は本当にきれいでした。星座の説明もしっかりして頂き、不安があったことなどすっかり忘れて楽しみました。やはり頂上付近では、頭がふわっとしましたが、すぐに回復しました。次にハワイ島に行く時はどのツアーにしようか考えています。

The tour guides were very nice and skilled at their jobs: driving down the rocky, curvy road to the horse barn and then helping everyone enjoy their time on their horses. Although my horse was not the most obedient, the guides always tried to help me keep up with the group and have patience with me and the horse. I definitely enjoyed my first time horseback riding especially since the walk around the area was very beautiful. After this experience, I definitely learned how to ride a horse (lead it, understand its needs, etc) and also appreciate how beautiful Waipio valley is.

Thank you very much for your assistance this time!
I participated with a friend!
Since we rented a car, we met at the location. There were several tours and meeting points, and although we searched a bit, the roads were wide, so we had no problems and quickly found the place by asking the locals!
We gathered at 10 AM, so after enjoying a leisurely breakfast, we were able to act without any rush, which made for a wonderful time! I was thrilled to unexpectedly spot a sea turtle at the pier!
We boarded a boat with about 10 people and moved to Captain Cook's location, but we spotted a whale along the way, and we stopped several times for everyone to take photos! I appreciated that consideration!
Once we arrived at the snorkeling point, we snorkeled for about an hour and a half, and enjoyed sandwiches for lunch on the boat! The sea was beautiful, with so many gorgeous fish! It felt just like being in an aquarium! Occasionally, we heard a squeaking sound... it was dolphins!
The foreign participants in the same tour were all very nice, and we had fun conversations. It seems there are many tourists from various places!
An hour and a half went by in no time! On the way back, we stopped at a breathtaking canyon point, allowing us to enjoy not just snorkeling but other delights as well!
Just be aware that you will get sunburned, so sunscreen is definitely necessary... I got incredibly burned, which turned into quite a situation, but it's also a great memory!
When we returned to the port, we discovered another sea turtle!! Seeing it twice was amazing!!
We arrived at the port at 3 PM, so we were able to shop and sightsee in the northern part of the Big Island. Honokohau Marina is in a great location, which was another charm!
I had an experience that is hard to come by in Japan! I was healed by seeing various fish in the beautiful sea, and since we only spent a little over an hour in the water, I didn't feel tired at all. It was just the right amount of time, and if I have the chance to go to the Big Island again, I would definitely like to participate again!
Thank you very much!
この度はお世話になりありがとうございました!
友達と2人での参加させて頂きました!
レンタカーを借りてましたので、現地集合でしていくつかツアーや集合場所があり、探しましたが、道が広いので問題なく、現地の方々に聞いてすぐに見つかりました!

桟橋で偶然ウミガメを見つけて感動しました♡
ボートで約10名乗船しキャプテンクックの場所まで移動しましたが、途中鯨を発見し、何度か止まって頂き皆さんで撮影しました!
そのお気遣いも嬉しかったです!
シュノーケルポイント到着してからは約1時間半、シュノーケルしたり、ランチのサンドウィッチ頂きボートで食べたり!海が綺麗で、綺麗な魚がたーくさん!それはまるで水族館にいる様でした!
時折聞こえるキーキーという音が、、イルカでした♡
同じツアーに参加されていた外国人の方々も良い方ばかりで、楽しく会話したりいろんな場所から来られていて観光客が多いようですね!
1時間半は本当にあっという間!でしたが、帰り道でも絶景の渓谷ポイントに止まって下さりと、シュノーケルだけでなく、他の楽しみを味わせて頂きました!
ただ日焼けをしますので、必ず日焼け止めは必要です…とんでもなく焼けてしまい大変なことになってますが、これもまた良い思い出です!!
港に戻り、またまたウミガメを発見!!
2度も見れて最高でした!!
港には3時着でしたので、ハワイ島の北のほうへ買い物したり観光でき、ホノコハウマリーナは良い場所にありましたのでそれもまた魅力でした!!

I took a taxi to the location, and as we approached the port, I looked around for the blue roof as a landmark, which made it easy to spot the various tour companies lined up. Of course, I arrived without being late for the meeting time. The check-in was all in English, but there was also a Japanese instruction manual, and after signing in, I finally boarded the boat. Since it was my first time rafting, I felt like I might be overwhelmed by the speed of the boat and the wind, but it was refreshing, and the sea and sky were truly blue and amazing! Along the way, we encountered some dolphins and whales, and we arrived at the destination, Kealakekua Bay, where snorkeling time began. This was my first time using a waterproof case for my smartphone, and I took pictures underwater myself... it was so much fun! I was completely absorbed in it!
The pineapple and oranges that the captain prepared were incredibly delicious. By the time lunch was over, we spotted some dolphins swimming a little further out in the bay, so we slowly approached them by boat, and about ten dolphins were playing around us. It was my first time seeing wild dolphins up close like this. After enjoying snorkeling time once more, we headed back along the coastline, where we could see impressive views that you can't appreciate from land. The only downside was that I couldn't understand English. It would have been even better if I could have understood the captain's explanations... That said, I still had a great time despite not understanding everything. Also, when taking a taxi, the driver made a reservation for the return trip, but I think it's good to allow a little extra time when deciding on the pickup time. We ended up making the driver wait for 30 minutes, so we had to give an extra tip.
現地までは、タクシーで行き車が港に近づくと青い屋根が目印ということだったので見つけるべくキョロキョロしましたが、いろいろなツアーの会社が並んでいてすぐにわかりました。もちろん集合時間に遅れることなく到着しました。受付ではすべて英語でしたが、日本語の説明書もありサインをしていよいよボートに乗り込みました。ラフティングが初めてだったのでボートの速さと風に負けそうでしたが、何より爽快だし海も空も本当に青く最高でした!途中アヒや鯨の仲間に遭遇しながら目的のケアラケクア湾に到着しシュノーケルタイムが始まりました。今回スマホの水中ケース初使用で海の中を自分でとりました…楽しいです!夢中になります!
キャプテンがカットして用意してくれたパインとオレンジが、めちゃくちゃおいしかった。ランチタイムが終わる頃、湾の中の少し遠くでイルカが泳いでいたのでボートで少しずつ近づいて行くと周りを10頭くらいのイルカたちが遊んでいます。こんなに近くで野生にイルカを見たのも初めてです。もう1度シュノーケルタイムを楽しんだ後、帰りは海岸線に沿ってボートは進みますが、陸の上からでは眺めることの出来ない迫力ある景色をみることができました。残念なことは私が英語を理解できないこと。もしキャプテンの説明が理解できていたらもっと良かったでしょう…とはいえわからないなりにも十分楽しめました。それとタクシーで行く場合、運転手が帰りの迎えの予約もしてくれましたが、少し時間を余裕をみて時間を決めると良いと思います。私達は30分待たせたのでチップを余計に払うことになりました。

I must start this review with big Mahalo to our tour guide Jim Carrey, you made this tour great and memorable for my wife Laura and myself. My suggestion would be for anyone interested in a great tour on the Big Island that is focused on cultural, geological, flora and fauna ecosystems of the island to book this tour for the beginning part of their stay, since it will open a number of the other visits and adventure that one can do on their own. Bring a camera and warm clothing, but if you forget your jacket don't worry your tour guide Jim is prepared with a number of coats to lend to those that had forgotten theirs. This whole day tour is packed with interesting place to visit, local folklore and legends. Jim is such a great narrator that makes the whole Hawaiian culture alive during the tour. You will be introduced to multiple Hawaiian chants, songs and legends during the entire day. Food is exquisite and plentiful, tastefully prepared to satisfied everyones need and desire. The crown jewl of this tour is night visit to Volcanic National Park for night lava viewing and star gazing. Jim is so knowledgeable in field of celestial observations and he comes prepared with a strong pair of binoculars that are powerful enough to give you glance of lava inside crater and to offer great view on planets and constellations visible from the craters edge.
Once again Mahalo to Jim Carrey and his company for offering us a unique view on Hawaiian culture and beautiful eco-system that is so different then anywhere on the planet.
Aloha! Mahalo for joining us on our Deluxe Volcano Experience. We are delighted to hear that you had such a fun day with Jim! He is a wonderfully knowledgeable guide who loves sharing his songs and stories of Hawaii, helping our guests to connect with the Big Island while on tour. Looking into Halema'uma'u Crater is so mesmerizing and we are so excited to hear that you folks actually got to see some lava with those amazing binoculars!

The dinner was good, there was plenty to eat for everybody. The sunset was also very beautiful.

The voucher we printed was a little confusing. It had the correct zip code and address, but the wrong location in one area, and the correct location in another. Leave early so you can find the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and the Hulakai Beach Hut. It is NOT at the Waikoloa Resort. We got there right on time and met Chris at the hut. He was very nice and friendly, low key and patient. I guess he's done this a lot with us novices! The cove was flat and glassy, and easy to get back on the board if you fall. After some practice in the cove, he lead us out past the breakers into a little more challenging water, but still not horribly choppy. Turned around and headed back into the cove. I had an easier time, so it may be more difficult for some people than others. Relax as best you can, keep looking up and you should be well on your way!

When we left the hotel, I was a bit worried about the clouds covering Mauna Kea, but the tour guide reassured us, saying, "Given the look of these clouds, as the temperature drops, the clouds will likely lower as well, so I believe the view above the clouds will be good." I felt relieved.
While we were in the car, I enjoyed the comfortable scenery while listening to the guide's gentle explanations about the Big Island.
Upon reaching the summit, we were greeted with a sunset that was even more magnificent than I had imagined. I felt incredibly happy to receive such energy and to be able to appreciate it. It was truly moving, and I realized that it undoubtedly gave me vitality for my future life.
As the sun set and the brightness of the moon filled the sky, the stargazing experience was also wonderful. I completely understand why this is the number one tour.
ホテル出発時は、マウナケア上空は雲におおわれて大丈夫かな?と感じたのですが
案内していただいたツアーガイドさんが「この雲の感じですと気温が下がってくると同時に雲が下がってきてたぶん雲の上は見晴らしが良いと思われます。」と説明してくださって、
ひと安心いたしました。
車に乗っているときもガイドさんの優しい語り口でハワイ島の説明など聞きながら心地よく景色をみながら登山していきました。
山頂部に着き、思っていた以上の素晴らしいサンセット。パワーを頂き拝むことができて
最高に幸せでした。大感激。今後の人生に間違いなく活力を頂いたと実感いたしました。
太陽が沈み月の明るさで宇宙を感じ満天の星空観測も、とても素敵でした。
人気ナンバーワンのツアー納得です。
