Waipio Shuttle - An Exceptional Guided Sightseeing Tour of Waipio Valley

Highly recommend

Reviewed by: Brian and Marion

We had a great time on our tour. Our driver/guide Kaleo, who is from Waipio Valley was very informative and funny. Kaleo stopped to let us out so we could get a better view of Hiilawe waterfall. We also saw several wild horses up close The check-in at the gallery was easy and a great place to browse while waiting (we arrived early) We highly recommend this tour. We felt sorry for the people who decided to walk down because the walk back up is very steep.

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー ボイジャーズ・オブ・ザ・パシフィック(ロイヤルコナリゾート内)<月・火・水・金催行/ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

Polynesian show in the tropics 南国でのポリネシアンショー

Reviewed by: TIRO

I thought it would be about two hours, but it ended up being close to three hours, which was enjoyable. However, for the first two hours or so, the host's talk and performances delayed the start of the actual Hawaiian show. It might be a reminder to take it easy and enjoy Hawaiian time. The show itself wasn't much different from what I've seen outside of Hawaii.

2時間ほどかと思っていたら、3時間近くあって長く楽しめた。ただ、最初の2時間くらいは、司会者の話と演奏でなかなか、本来のハワイアンショーが始まらない。せかせかせず、ハワイタイムを過ごせということかも知れないが。
ショー自体は、Hawaii以外で観たものと、あまり変わりは無かった。

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ キャプテン・ゾディアック号 クジラと近距離&スリル満点!ラフティングボートツアー<午前・午後・夕方/12~3月/カイルアコナ発>

The rafting boat feels just like a rodeo! ラフティングボートはまるでロデオのよう!

Reviewed by: totto

On February 8th, I participated with my children and my brother-in-law, a group of four. We were able to see a mother and baby whale, dynamic jumps (which were a bit far away), and a pod of dolphins up close. The captain took us to various points where we could encounter different wildlife. The thrill of the speed and bouncing felt like a roller coaster, and I gripped the ropes tightly, which left me with sore muscles for a while.

Before participating, I was worried about what to wear. How cold is the ocean in Hawaii during winter? Would I get completely soaked? What about shoes? The conclusion was that the ocean had a bit of swell, and the boat's spray only splashed on us a little. I think it depends on the sea conditions, but it’s fine to dress in a way that you wouldn’t mind getting a little wet. By the way, I wore a T-shirt with a hooded rash guard, pants, and water shoes. Sunglasses are a must. The boat bounces at incredible speed, so a cap will fly off.

2月8日に子供夫婦と義兄の4人で参加しました。クジラの親子、ダイナミックなジャンプ(これは少し遠かったです)、イルカの群れを近くで見ることも出来ました。キャプテンが色々遭遇できそうなポイントに連れて行ってくれました。ジェットコースターのようなスリル満点のスピードとバウンドの為ロープを握りしめる手や踏ん張る脚に力が入りしばらくは筋肉痛でした。
参加する前に心配していたのは服装の事。ハワイの冬の海はどのくらい寒いのか?ずぶ濡れになってしまうのか?靴は?という事で結論は、海は少しうねりがありボートの波しぶきが少しかかる程度でした。海のコンディションにもよると思いますが、少し濡れてもいいくらいの格好で大丈夫。ちなみに私はTシャツにフード付きラッシュガード、パンツ、マリンシューズ。、サングラスは必須です。ボートはすごいスピードでバウンドしながら疾走するのでキャップは飛んでしまいます。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾 シュノーケリングツアー <軽食付き/英語ガイド>

The Path of the Gods! 神々の道!

Reviewed by: Erica

I visited Kealakekua Bay, known as the Path of the Gods. The hotel I stayed at was the Sheraton, which was conveniently located just a short walk from the meeting point. Since it's the end point for the trolley, I think it's easy to get there even if you don't rent a car or stay at the Sheraton.

The guide spoke English and was very knowledgeable about history, answering any questions we had. Additionally, to protect the coral, we were allowed to use environmentally friendly sunscreen for free. The water was truly beautiful, and I was able to see many cute fish! It was February, but I enjoyed myself without a rash guard. It was a bit chilly, so I couldn't stay in the water the whole time... haha. After snorkeling, they provided fresh fruit, snacks, and drinks on the boat! It was really great!

神々の道と言われるケアラケクア湾に行きました。止まっていたホテルがシェラトンだったので歩いてすぐの集合場所で便利が良かったです。トロリーの終点なのでレンタカーしてない&シェラトン宿泊者じゃなくても行きやすいと思います。
ガイドは英語ですが、歴史の知識も豊富で聞けばなんでも答えてくれます。また珊瑚保護のため、環境に優しい日焼け止めも無料で使用させてもらえます。本当に水がキレイな場所なのでたくさんのかわいい魚たちを見ることができました!2月でしたが、ラッシュガードなしで楽しめました。少し寒くてフルタイムで水の中に入っていられなかったですが…笑 シュノーケルの後、船の上でフレッシュフルーツとスナック、飲み物を用意してくれますよ!とても良かったです!

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Honeymoon Highlight!

Reviewed by: MsTravelGal

I wouldn't give this tour five stars...I give it as many stars as there are in the Mauna Kea sky! This tour was easily the highlight of our trip on the Big Island! We enjoyed every minute of it. The sunset was absolutely gorgeous, and to see it from such a high elevation was quite remarkable. I was glad that we had plenty of time before and after the sunset to walk around, take in the view, and get some good pictures.

The dinner was very good but if you don't like lasagna there's a microwave at VIS if you want to bring your own food.

The road to the summit is a bit bumpy, but that's to be expected since it's a volcano. So take motion sickness meds if you're prone to carsickness. And if you get cold easily, definitely bring layers! They provide parkas and gloves but you might also want to bring a hat or scarf and thick socks.

Throughout the tour, the guide provided a very entertaining and educational narrative. It's obvious that he's passionate about Mauna Kea and Hawaii. He's basically a walking encyclopedia of Hawaii and provided all kinds of interesting information about Mauna Kea's geology and history, and also talked about Hawaiian culture and why Mauna Kea is a sacred place. He also did an excellent job of guiding the stargazing and pointing out constellations, star clusters, and planets, most of which we got to see through a telescope. I think my favorite part of the stargazing was getting to see the Andromeda galaxy through the telescope.

If you're going to the Big Island, this tour is a must!

  • View from the Visitor Information Station, 9k feet elevation.

  • The snow capped summit

  • Some of the Mauna Kea telescopes

  • Watching the sunset from above the clouds was surreal

  • This picture is nothing compared to the real thing!

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ  2階建てカタマラン船に乗って壮大なクジラの姿を観察!<12~3月/軽食付き/英語ガイド/カイルアコナ発>

I'm glad I got to see the whale. くじらに会えて良かった。

Reviewed by: マハロ

Most of the participants seemed to be foreigners, with only two Japanese people. Throughout the tour, there is narration, but it's all in English, so those who understand it will likely enjoy it more. Light snacks are available on board, including pretzels, fruits, and coffee. Alcohol can also be ordered separately.

At first, a few dolphins appeared, followed by whales about three times. It lasted around five minutes. Just when I was about to give up because they weren't showing up, I was moved when I saw the dorsal fin. It was the moment when everyone's wishes were fulfilled.

From what I heard around me, it seems that dolphins are seen more frequently in places like Oahu and Okinawa, so I think this tour is more suitable for those who are looking for a cruise experience rather than just whale watching. Although it was a large ship, there was quite a bit of rocking, so I recommend that those who are sensitive to motion sickness prepare some medication.

ほとんどの参加者が外国の方のようでした。日本人は別に2人ほど。
ツアー中、ずっとナレーションが入りますが全て英語のため、分かる方はより楽しめると思います。
船内では軽食が食べられます。ブレッツェルなどのお菓子、フルーツ、コーヒーなど。お酒も別途注文できます。

最初にイルカが数頭出てきて、
そのあとくじらが3回ほど。時間にすると5分程でしょうか。
なかなか出てこず、諦めかけた矢先でしたので、背ビレが見えた時は感動ものでした。皆の願いが届いた瞬間でした。

周囲の話を聞いていると、オアフ島や沖縄ではもっと頻度良く見られるとのことで、ホエールウォッチング以上に、クルーズを目的にされる方に適しているツアーだと思いました。
また大きい船でしたが、揺れが結構大きかったので、弱い方は酔い止めをご準備された方が良いと思います。

An experience beyond what I expected! 思ってた以上の体験!

Reviewed by: Go Inoue

I signed up for whale watching for the first time. The guide spoke English and explained everything very clearly, so I was able to enjoy the time until we reached the point where we could see the whales without getting bored. We happened to encounter a mother and baby whale, and since they were right beneath the boat, I was lucky to see the whole thing. It was great that there were drinks available, including alcohol.

It was my first time on a helicopter. I boarded it thanks to the opportunity provided by "Tōdai Ō." We were blessed with great weather, with no wind or clouds, making it a very elegant journey.
It was quite a distance from Kona, and the round trip was challenging. However, I highly recommend it as we got to see the crater from above, as well as the beautiful ocean and ʻōhiʻa lehua. It was an exhilarating two hours from start to finish.

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Highlight of my Big Island trip. Must do!

Reviewed by: Michael

This Mauana Kea summit and stargazing tour was phenomenal. The first stop is at the visitor center around 9k feet elevation. Here you can look through a couple telescopes, walk through the museum, and you will be served your hot dinner (we had veggie lasagna and it was good). While you are here it is good to eat and drink alot of water so your body can acclimate to the higher altitudes ahead. Next stop is the summit up to almost 14k feet! The Vans they take up are heavy duty and they need to be because of the rocky road leading up the mountain. I would not reccomend taking a rental/personal vehicle up this mountain. The road is rocky, thin, and windy. The guides for this tour have been doing it for years and know the road well. On the way up the guides will give you some commentary about the mountain which is a cool little history lesson. At the top it is cold and the oxygen is thin, so be ready! They provide you with a winter coat and gloves but I recommend bringing your own hat. The views from the summit are outstanding. Watching the sun set from up there is really remarkable, and you can walk around to the 12 massive telescopes up there to take pictures. After the summit you will descend a couple thousand feet to the star gazing location. With no light pollution and at the high altitude it provides for the star gazing experience of a lifetime. I have never seen the sky lit up so brightly with constellations. The guides will break out a couple of heavy duty telescopes from the vans so you can get an even closer look. They will educate you about the constellations and give alot of really good information. Overall this is an impeccable tour and a must do if you are going to the Big Island!

Whale watching afternoon tour ホエールウォッチングお昼のツアー

Reviewed by: Rr ❤︎

It’s not that I couldn’t see them, but I thought I would be able to see them much closer. Upon further inquiry, I learned that during the afternoon, the whales are napping, so they are not very visible unless you go in the morning or around evening.

Also, when I tried to book, I wanted to sign up for the Tuesday evening tour, but I could only click on Wednesday evening. So, reluctantly, I clicked on Wednesday night, but I couldn’t make a reservation and was instead offered Tuesday afternoon, which I accepted... but I really wanted to go in the evening.

Then, two days later, while I was taking a walk on the hotel beach, I saw whales... (crying)

見れなかったわけではないのですが…
もっともっと近くで見れると思ってました。
よくよく聞くと、お昼頃はホエールはお昼寝中なので朝もしくは夕方ごろじゃないとあまり見えないそうです。

あと、予約時に火曜日の夕方のツアーに申し込みたいのに水曜日の夕方しかクリックできなかったので仕方なく水曜日の夜をクリックしたら予約できず火曜日のお昼をすすめられたので火曜日のお昼にしましたが…やっぱり夕方に見に行きたかったです。

そして、2日後にホテルのビーチをお散歩してたらホエール見れました…(泣)

Kona Glassbottom Boat & Guided Coral Reef Tour with Marine Naturalist

Disappointing

Reviewed by: Colin

We found this trip rather disappointing. It was supposed to last for an hour but we returned to the pier after 50 minutes. In the event we had probably seen all there was to see after 20 minutes. You see rather dull brown/grey coral, some small blue and yellow fish and some sea urchins - No wrays or sharks or anything unusual. In fact the guide started to describe the history of the buildings on the shoreline as we headed back. Not worth the money.

Reply from activity provider

Sorry to hear that you found our tour disappointing. The tour is one hour from when you get on to when you get off, that does mean that it is about 50 min of actual tour time, we appreciate the insight, maybe we can explore making the tour last a bit longer.
The coral in Hawaii is naturally more neutral in color than other places in the world. However, Kona has amazingly clear waters and colorful fish. Many fish are relatively small so they can live on the reef and fit in the cracks and crevices of the coral. We do not guarantee shark and ray sightings. Though, sometimes we see large interesting creatures like that. We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed in what Kona's reef has to offer. Most guests express that they find the natural coral ecosystem to be amazing.
Many passengers are interested in the history of the bay including some of the historic buildings. The time when we are heading back and have a good view of the buildings is the perfect time to discuss it.

Guided Waipio Valley Horseback Riding & Waterfall Tour [Closed]

MADE THE TRIP!

Reviewed by: Allie Bellinghauasen

This is one of the best horseback riding experiences my boyfriend and I have ever had! The instructions on how to get to the location were very well written out so it was a breeze to find! Our instructors were fantastic! They are the type of people who love what they do and are incredibly passionate and it shows! We were very excited, so it was great to have the energy matched! The ride was absolutely breathtaking! The high mountains that surround the area are a wonderful sight to take in, great for photo ops as well. All of the horses are well behaved and a joy to be around. When we find ourselves back in the area we will definitely be stopping by again. If you tend to get carsick, you may want to take some motion sickness medication before the drive down to the valley. Its quite bumpy but totally worth it!

It was great to have a small group of seven participants. My husband, who doesn't speak English, said the English guide was easy to understand.

Crossing the river while looking at Waipi'o Valley and slowly riding on horseback through the great outdoors was the best!

Also, the bumpy and steep road from the meeting point to the horseback riding location felt like an attraction and was fun.

I highly recommend it!!

Waipio Shuttle - An Exceptional Guided Sightseeing Tour of Waipio Valley

A Great Peak into a Hidden World

Reviewed by: SamE

A trip into Waipi’o Valley with Douglas as your guide is a time travel to another time. His family is of this place so Douglas understands and shares the insiders perspective, with the added bonus of having access to the valley past the “End of Country Road” sign. Also if you aren’t up for the knee pounding descent and lung busting climb in and out of the valley this is the way to go. Worth mentioning this tour does not go to the beach, It instead works it’s way toward the back of the valley. Definitely a worth while event.

ワイピオ渓谷  乗馬ツアー <午前・午後/英語ガイド> by ワイピオ・オン・ホースバック

Adventure experience in Hawaii ハワイでアドベンチャー体験

Reviewed by: 古希おっさん

The meeting place was easy to find with the navigation guidance. It wasn't too difficult to locate. When I arrived 15 minutes early, one group had already completed their check-in. After that, we gathered for a tour of 12 people. There were two Japanese, including my wife. We traveled by 4WD to Waipi'o Valley, but the path down to the valley from the viewpoint was steep and narrow. Although there was a fence on the valley side, there was a risk of a serious accident if the driving went wrong. The elderly man sitting behind the driver was holding his head while the driver explained things. It was a bit scary. Once we descended into the valley, the view of Hi'ilawe Falls and the canyon from the bottom was breathtaking. After about 30 minutes, we arrived at the location with the stables, and the horseback riding tour began. We received an English lecture on how to ride a horse, and each person was assigned a horse. The horse commands were given through the reins, but I managed to understand. Finally, the tour began. The horses were well-trained and moved in a line. My wife, who was riding for the first time, had some trouble when the horse stopped to drink water while crossing a river, but the staff assisted her. Riding through the greenery of the valley and along the stream was refreshing and an extraordinary experience. The horseback riding experience lasted about an hour. After getting off the horse, my knees hurt, but my wife said she felt fine. I had riding experience 50 years ago, but even beginners should have no problem riding. I highly recommend it.

集合場所は、ナビの案内で行けました。そんなに判りにくくはありません。集合時間15分前に着いたら1組が受付を済ませていました。その後、集まり12名のツアーでした。日本人は妻と2名。4駆でワイピオ渓谷まで移動しましたが、展望台から下の渓谷に降りる路は傾斜がきつく且つ路幅も狭く谷側にフェンスはあるものの、運転を間違えれば崖下へ落下の大事故になるリスクがあります。運転席後ろの席の年配おじさんは、後ろを見て解説する運転手に頭をかかえていました。少し怖いです。渓谷に降り、谷底から見るヒイラヴェ滝と渓谷は絶景です。約30分で厩舎のある場所に到着し、乗馬ツアー開始です。馬の乗り方について英語でレクチャーがあり、1人1人に馬をあてがわれます。馬の指示は手綱で行いますが、なんとか判りました。いよいよツアーです。馬もよく調教されていて、連なって進みます。乗馬初めての妻は河を渡る時、馬が水を飲み始め止まって困っていましたが、スタッフのフォローでことなし。渓谷の緑と渓流の中を馬で連なって進むのは気持ちよく、非日常の体験でした。1時間ほどの乗馬体験です。馬から降りたら膝が痛かった。妻はなんともないと言ってました。私は50年前に乗馬経験がありましたが、未経験者でも問題なく乗れるでしょう。おすすめです。

The Catamaran ride was very smooth and comfortable. The crew was wonderful and very informative. Once in the water we had seen a large variety of fish and rays. I would highly recommend this adventure.

キャプテン・クック号 サンセット・ディナークルーズ <夕食・カクテル1杯付き/カイルアピア発>

Super lucky! 超ラッキー!

Reviewed by: まりん

The boat sways quite a bit, so at first, it's hard to walk, but during meal times, we anchor offshore, so you can relax. Moreover, at that time, a manta ray and many dolphins gathered around. I think they must have liked the singing. I can't remember the name, but there was a singer with the most beautiful voice singing live the whole time, and songs that felt very Hawaiian, which was truly soothing.
There was also a vegan menu, and the buffet was satisfying.

Most of the participants were from the mainland United States, and they were drinking and making a lot of noise, so even when I was trying to talk about history and the land, I couldn't hear it next to me. But overall, it was the best cruising experience. If you can't speak English, it might feel long and confusing as you won't know what's happening.

It was a bit disappointing that the sunset was partially hidden by clouds, but it was still a beautiful view. People who participated in the previous trip said they didn't encounter anything, so we were really lucky on our trip.

船はかなり揺れるので、最初は歩くのもやっとだけど、食事のときは沖で停泊するので落ち着いていただけます。しかも、この時、マンタが1匹と、イルカもたくさん集まってきました。きっと、歌声が好きだったんじゃないかと思いますお名前は覚えていないけど、最高に美しい声の歌手がずっと生歌を歌っていて、ハワイっぽい曲とか、本当に癒されました。
Veganメニューもあって、ビュッフェも満足でした。

参加者がほぼアメリカ本土から来た人たちばかりで、お酒飲んで大騒ぎするので、せっかく歴史や土地の話をしているのが隣に行っても聞こえないくらいだったけど、とにかく最高のcruisingでした。英語ができないと、何が起こってるか分らなく長く感じるかもしれないけど。

あとは、夕日が少し雲に隠れてしまったのが残念だけど、それでも美しい景色でした。前の便に参加した人たちは、何も出会えなかったそうで、私たちの便は本当に幸運に恵まれました。

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 a good experience. 良い経験になりました

Reviewed by: mika

I traveled for an hour and a half from Kona. It was my first time horseback riding, and I don't understand much English, but I chose this experience because I read that important points would be explained in Japanese as well.

The guide was friendly, and since we could bring our dog along, it was a comforting experience for our dog-loving family!

I wanted to feel the air of Waipi'o Valley, so the leisurely horseback riding time was the best. I thought it would have been even better if I had understood the explanations more clearly.

Some of the horses were a bit energetic, but it seemed like they assigned them based on the riders' experience levels.

コナから一時間半かけて行きました。
乗馬は初めて、英語もあまりわからないけど、他の方の体験談に重要なとこは日本語でも言ってくれると書いてあったので択びました。

ガイドさんはフレンドリーだし、わんちゃんも一緒に行くので犬好き我が家はそれも癒しでした!

ワイピオ渓谷の谷の空気を感じたかったのでゆったり乗馬しながらの時間は最高でした。
説明がわかったらもっと良かったかなと思いましたが。

馬によってはちょっと、元気な子もいましたが、慣れてる人に充てがわれてたので、経験度を見て選んでくれてるようです。

Dear Mika,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

We appreciate your kind words about the horseback riding, the guide, and even the dog on the Big Island of Hawaii. Given the size of the Big Island, it is a bit of a distance from Kona, so we are glad to hear that you enjoyed your time.

We look forward to serving you again.

Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Discover Hilo Tour - Volcanic Landscapes & Waterfalls

Sensational ride with knowledgeable pilot

Reviewed by: Roderick & Debra

From the moment we took off to the theme song of Hawaii 50 (one of my highlights), this ride was sensational. From the front row, we soared over volcano craters, lava flows, waterfalls and macadamia nut farms. To miss out on seeing Big Island from the air in a helicopter is to miss out big time. Save money in every way you can before your holiday to include this in your Hawaiian itinerary. Sara our pilot was super friendly and very knowledgeable about everything we saw below us and very keen to answer all our questions. Although I wondered if the ride would be scary, it was not at all. We sat in comfortable chairs, safely buckled up, and soared through the sky as if on a magic carpet. This helicopter ride was one of the best activities I've ever done in my life and I will never forget it. Thank you to everyone who worked to make this a wonderful experience.

Amazing once in a lifetime experience

Reviewed by: Gill

What a privilege to be in the water with these magnificent, graceful creatures, the small group ( max 6) made for a very personalised tour, Keith and Cassie were so knowledgeable and passionate about the mantas, knowing them all by name! I would highly recommended this tour operator, they have a deep respect for ocean and the sea life in this beautiful part of the world while providing a fun and outstanding experience. Highly recommended.
