Big Island
Despite my worries before going, it was the best experience, and I was very satisfied with the views. The sunset over the sea of clouds at an altitude of over 4000 meters brought me to tears. After the sun set, I forgot the cold while marveling at the starry sky, which was truly breathtaking. The guide primarily spoke English, but they did their best to communicate in my limited Japanese and took great care in preventing altitude sickness, which made me very happy as well.
行く前の心配とは裏腹に、最高の経験、景色を見ることができ大満足。
標高4000m超の空間と目の前に広がる雲海に沈む夕日は涙が出る思いでした。
日が沈んだあとの満点の星空とは正にこのことかと寒さを忘れました。
基本は英語でしたが、拙い日本語を駆使して一所懸命のガイドしてくれ、高山病予防にも細かく気を使ってくれ、これも大満足。
This is a tour you should definitely go on. It's colder than expected, so proper winter clothing is essential. Disposable heat packs and warm shoes are a must, especially since your toes can get painf
一度は行くべきツアーです。
予想以上に寒いので、防寒はしっかり必要です。
特に足の先が痛くなるほど冷えるので、使い捨てカイロ、防寒靴などは必須です。
We enjoyed our day. The staff were organized and very friendly. They ensured everyone was safe and comfortable. The grounds were beautiful and we enjoyed being able to explore the property and look at the waterfalls. We had a nice time sitting by the waterfall and having time to enjoy going in the water. We were a bit disappointed by the ride itself as were are more seasoned and experienced riders. The pace was very geared to beginners and some guests had no clue what they were doing and that slowed the activity. We also hoped to have a ride close by ocean and that isn’t part of this activity, not their fault. I should have looked into that more. We basically road around through trails in a field. One last bit of advice, they should chill the drink they serve better. We appreciated though being provided a drink and snack part way through.
Ask about who you’re going to be touring with, as less experienced tourists slow the pace down.
Our guide was very friendly, courteous, and informative. Having lived and worked in the valley, he displayed his passion and knowledge throughout the tour.
Be ready to learn about history and Hawaiian culture.
I was able to see manta rays up close, even more than I had expected. It was colder than I thought, and I got seasick, so I felt a bit unwell, but it all became a good memory.
思っていた以上にマンタを近くで見ることができました。思っていたより寒く、船酔いをしたので体調的にはしんどかったですがそれも含めて良い思い出になりました。
Great zip line experience! Beautiful scenery. Always felt safe. Guides were awesome! I was worried about transportation from cruise ship and back. We caught a taxi and same guy came back to pick us up. No problem.
There were few Japanese participants, but the guide was very kind and it was great! The weather was good, and I enjoyed it. When I reached the summit, I felt a bit dizzy, probably due to the lack of oxygen. The cocoa provided during the stargazing was delicious.
日本人参加者が少なかったが、ガイドの方がとても親切で良かった!
天候も良く、楽しめました。
流石に山頂に着くと酸素が少ないせいかフラフラしました。
星空観測の時に提供されたココアが美味しかった。
It might be essential to wear gloves since the summit is cold.
山頂は寒いので手袋は必修かな?
The tour proceeded as scheduled, allowing us to see the sunset and starry sky at their most beautiful moments, which made for a wonderful experience. Throughout the tour, we also learned about the history and culture, making it very enriching.
サンセットや星空が最も綺麗に見えるタイミングで予定通りにツアーを進めていただき、素晴らしい体験ができました。ツアー中も歴史や文化についてのお話もしていただき、非常に充実した内容でした。
Great time, great food, great service! We thoroughly enjoyed our evening cruising down to Captain Cook. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The mean was wonderful. We loved that we could sit back and enjoy the scenery while being served. I would definitely recommend this dinner cruise.
Mahalo Tammy for your patronage and kind review! We are so happy to read that you had a five star experience! Mahalo for your recommendations; we hope to see you again too!
The enthusiasm from our private guide was fabulous. She was very sensitive to the 6/7 and the 5 yr olds reactions and adjusted to make the experience so so special.
A remarkable experience.
Our tour guide (Shawn) was VERY informative and passionate about telling us the history and sacredness of Waipio Valley, the Valley of the Kings. We had such a great time! My 7yr old (who doesn’t like to sit still) enjoyed this tour immensely! Especially trying to find the prawns in the stream. Would definitely do this again!
Highly recommend! The tour guide provided details and history of the region, with various stops along the way for us to soak in the beauty of the valley!
The stars and sunset were amazing! I've never seen such a beautiful starry sky! As expected, it was a precious experience that can only be had on the Big Island of Hawaii! The sandwiches and hot chocolate were delicious. However, the cold was intense (^。^) They took photos with a DSLR during the sunset, but it was very disappointing that none of them were downloaded.
星も夕陽も最高でした!
あんな素敵な星空見た事ない!
流石!ハワイ島でしか体験できない貴重な体験でした!
サンドイッチもホットチョコレートも美味しかったです。
ただ、寒さは半端なかった(^。^)
サンセットでも一眼レフで撮ってくれたが
1枚もダウンロードされて無かったのがとても残念でした。
Since it's cold, warm clothing is essential, but jackets, pants, and gloves are available for free rental.
寒いので防寒は必須ですが、ジャケット、パンツ、手袋は無料で貸してもらえますよ。
Dear Kazubou,

We apologize for the inconvenience, but please send your email to the address written on the paper shown by the guide during the tour.
Thank you for your cooperation.
かずぼう様
この度はツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
ツアーでお撮りしたお写真は後日弊社のメールアドレスにメールをしていただいたらお渡しする形になります。
お手数ですが、ガイドがツアー中にお見せした紙に書いたるメールアドレスまでメールをお送りくださいませ。
どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。
I was the only Japanese person participating, but I had a great time! Snacks and soft drinks are free. The leaf was just average.
参加した中で日本人は私だけでしたが、楽しめました!スナック菓子とソフトドリンク無料です。リーフはまぁ普通ですね( * ॑꒳ ॑*)
A basic level of English is necessary. It might be tough if you can't swim.
最低限の英語力は必要ですね。泳ぎができないとツラいかも知れません。
This was our first luau, but we really enjoyed the experience. We went with the Alii seating package and were very satisfied with the servers, seating and pictures! They told the story of Hawaii and put on a great show with an awesome dinner!
Get the alii seating package!
The zip line gradually becomes higher and longer, designed to be more exciting and high-speed, making it a lot of fun. The guides are also great at getting everyone excited, creating a sense of togetherness as we all enjoy ourselves. It's true that if you can't speak English, you might miss half of the conversation, but even so, I was able to participate in the discussions and feel the enjoyable atmosphere.
ジップラインは次第に高く、長いものになり、よりエキサイティングかつハイスピードになるよう構成されていて、すごく楽しいです。
ガイドの方も盛り上げ上手で、みんなで楽しもうという一体感があります。
確かに英語ができないと、話半分になっちゃいますが、それでも話の中には参加でき、楽しい雰囲気を感じることはできました。
If you rely entirely on the navigation system to get to the meeting place, you might not arrive. A little caution is needed at the end.
集合場所には、ナビに全頼りだと着かないかもしれません。最後は少し注意が必要です。
Very chill. Lots of history on trip. Great dinner.
Mahalo for joining us and sharing your kind words! Love the beautiful photo! Best to you both!
My husband and I really enjoyed our ride down into the valley. We learned a great deal of history from our guide as well as trivia like the fact they used Waipio Valley as the "Dry Land" in the movie Waterworld.
It's a beautiful and magical place.
The at Art gallery/gift shoppe where you meet has wonderful Hawaiian made products!
Great Whale watching trip out of A Bay! The crew was easy going, informative and interesting.
Wish the trip was longer than 1 1/2 hours. The check in location on the website needs to be updated
A little relaxing and adventure. Crew was very friendly and fun. Always felt safe in and out of the water. Meals were good. Would definitely recommend and we would go again!
Thanks so much for joining us and taking the time to share your experience! We are stoked to know that you felt safe, that you enjoyed the service and that you'll be recommending us! Until we meet again; we wish you all of the best!
Fun experience for the whole family. Great crew, fun drinks and good unexpected food.
On the day of the event, the weather was clear, and I was able to see the best views of the sunset and the starry sky in my life. The guide was very polite and kind, and spoke to us while mixing in some Japanese. They took even more photos than I expected, making it a fantastic experience.
当日は快晴でサンセットも星空も、人生で最高の景色を見ることができました。ガイドの方もとても丁寧で優しく、多少の日本語を混ぜながらお話ししてくださりました。
写真も思った以上に撮っていただいて最高の経験ができました。
The guide was very kind, and there were many services that weren't mentioned when I signed up! In cold areas, they lent us windbreakers and jackets, and they also checked our meal preferences in advance and placed orders for us. There were several occasions where they provided Hawaiian juice and bottled water as well.
I mainly signed up for the volcano tour, but they also drove us around to other places while giving detailed explanations the whole time. The guide was English-speaking, but they spoke to us in the Japanese they had learned, which made it feel very homey and enjoyable.
My kids challenged themselves to speak in English, and the guide responded kindly, which made me very happy as a parent to see their growth during this tour. The weather was great, we got to see sea turtles, and we witnessed both daytime and nighttime lava flows. Additionally, we were able to observe an incredible number of stars in the night sky that I had never seen before. It was an unexpectedly amazing tour filled with good luck!
ガイドさんがとても親切で申込む時に書いてないサービスが沢山ありました!寒い地域ではウィンドブレーカーやジャンバーを貸してくれ、食事も事前に希望を確認して注文してくれたり、ハワイのジュースやペットボトル水の提供も数回ありました
ボルケーノツアーメインで申込みましたが、その他の場所も細かい説明をずっとしながら運転してくれました
英語ガイドさんでしたが、覚えた日本語で話しかけてくれたりしてアットホームで楽しかったです
子供達は習った英語で話すことに挑戦しましたが優しく対応してくれて、このツアーで子供達の成長した姿がみれて親としてとても嬉しかったです
天気も良く、ウミガメにも会い、昼と夜の溶岩流もみれて、更に見たことのない数の満天の星空観測も出来、幸運続きの想像以上に最高のツアーでした!!
I highly recommend Wasabi Tours for a tour of the Big Island! The guide spoke English, but other groups had guides who could speak Japanese as well. The tour was rich in content and exceeded my expect
ハワイ島のツアーはワサビツアーズをオススメします!英語ガイドさんですが、他のグループは日本語が話せるガイドさんもいました
内容が濃く盛り沢山のツアーで期待以上です❣️
My daughter had a blast. She rides horses and the guides worked so splendid to give her a day she will certainly remember!
A great tour, worth the money as the staff details the conditions of the sky during your viewing.
we were nervous at first swimming at night, but we had a wonderful time and would do it again!
Such an experience to go into the valley, you can feel the spirit of Hawaii in places like Waipio Valley.
One of the highlights of our trip! Sam was fantastic - incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Not only were we awed by the universe, Sam helped us understand Hawaii as well. Keep up the great work.
Hosts are great, very friendly and shared historical information at sites along the way. We saw a mother and baby whale as well as hammerhead sharks on the trips to and from. The sea life at the snorkeling site were abundant and beautiful.
Highly recommend this tour above others.
This is our second time on this tour and we highly recommend it. Staff are great and the swimming was wonderful!
It was great that our driver and tour guide, Kouki, explained everything in both Japanese and English. At the visitor center, it was unexpected that we might not be able to reach the summit due to the fog, but I was happy that we were able to pass through safely.
The sunset view from the summit was incredibly beautiful, and it was moving to witness the moment the sun went down. After descending a bit from the summit, we enjoyed stargazing. The sky was a mix of clouds and clear patches, but the starry sky when there were no clouds was stunning. The guide also explained the constellations, allowing us to have a fulfilling time.
Lastly, sharing the photos taken at the summit with the sunset and the ones with the starry sky in the background (which the guide took with a proper camera) became wonderful memories of this trip!
ドライバー兼ツアーガイドのコウキさんが日本語と英語で説明をしてくださったのが良かったです。ビジターセンターのところで、霧のせいで道の先が見えなくて山頂に行けないかもってなっちゃったのは想定外でしたが、無事に通過することができ、嬉しかったです。
山頂から見るサンセットはすごく綺麗で、太陽が沈んでいく瞬間を見られたのは感動でした。山頂をしばらく下ったところで星空を鑑賞しました。曇ったり雲がはけたりするような空模様でしたが、雲のない時に見える星空は綺麗でした。また、星座についてガイドさんが解説してくれて、充実した時間を過ごすことができました。
最後に、山頂でサンセットと一緒に撮った写真と星空を背後に撮った写真(ガイドさんがちゃんとしたカメラで撮ってくれたもの)をシェアしていただけたのも、この旅のいい思い出にもなりました!
If you're planning to stay at Outrigger Kona Resort, I recommend designating the pickup location as Target. I was fine with the borrowed winter gear, so I think you don't need to worry too much about
アウトリガーコナリゾートに宿泊予定なら、ピックアップ場所をターゲットに指定することをお勧めします。防寒具はお借りしたもので大丈夫だったので、そこまで防寒具について心配しなくても大丈夫かなと思います。
