We did not have the best experience, but I think it's based more on our skill level than the tour itself. If you're not in good shape (physically fit) it can be difficult. Make sure you use sunscreen ahead of time. The instructions when we signed up said that you would be provided reef safe sunscreen, however, that was not offered. The rocks are difficult to climb up on and if you don't have proper foot wear you can be easily injured. I think the tour is probably great for more "fit" people... We don't know because we left halfway through. I would stress that there is risk involved in this activity and life jackets are provided but not mandatory (in my opinion should be mandatory).

Guide was informative and friendly. On time performance and tour went well beyond what I thought was included in the days activities. Great to look at the stars through the telescope and have explanation of the skies (for a novice like me). Ride up and back to the summit of Mauna Kea was bumpy at times and a little daunting but not nearly as difficult as some made it out to be. Elevation did not bother me.

Had a great time both the guides were wonderful. The only issues I had were that you don’t really get close to the waterfalls they are way off in the distance and while the guides were very knowledgeable about the area you couldn’t really hear what they were saying unless you were in the front or back of the line. Other then that we enjoyed everything else

I was a bit nervous on my first helicopter ride, but with the guidance of the Japanese pilot, I was able to relax and enjoy the journey through the skies. The time spent flying from the ocean to Waipi'o Valley felt like a transition from reality to a divine world, and I found myself in tears from the beauty of nature. Landing at the base of the waterfall, I was overwhelmed with emotion once again, feeling a deep gratitude for being alive. I have become an even bigger fan of the Big Island of Hawaii. I want to tell my friends that they should experience this at least once in their lifetime! Of course, my children and grandchildren will join me next time.

The marine activity introduced in the program "Ariyoshi's Summer Vacation" was truly enjoyable. The handsome guide who appeared on the show supported us during the experience.
On the day I participated, there were two groups, making a total of five people: a nice guy as the guide, two Japanese men, and two foreign women. We gathered at the meeting point at 9 AM. The office isn't located on the beach at Keauhou Bay; instead, they transport the kayaks using a pickup truck and trailer. We headed towards a general location, and if we were unsure, there were offices of other activity tour companies nearby where we could show our voucher and kindly ask for directions.
In the program, it seemed that the waves were too high to enter the caves, but on the day I participated, we were able to experience everything without any issues. We even got to dive from a considerable height of cliffs, which made the activity feel incredibly fulfilling.
After the tour, I was invited to lunch, but I had other plans for the afternoon, so I declined. However, I think I would have enjoyed it if I had gone.
When getting out of the water during snorkeling, there were times when the waves pulled us back, causing some scrapes and cuts on the lava rocks. One of my companions actually got a small cut on their finger and foot. I recommend bringing not only marine shoes but also marine gloves.
有吉の夏休み、という番組でも紹介されたマリンアクティビティ。まさに、その時番組に出てた男前ガイドさんがサポートしてくれました。
私が参加した日は2組の参加、ナイスガイのガイドさん、日本人男性2名、外国人女性2名の合計5名のツアーでした。
午前9時に現地集合。ケアウホウ湾のビーチにオフィスがあるわけではなく、ピックアップトラックとトレーラーにカヤックを載せて運んでくるスタイル。だいたいの場所を目指して行き、わからなければ他のアクティビティツアー会社の事務所があるので、バウチャーを見せて聞けば親切に案内していただけました。
番組では、波が高く洞窟には入れなかったようですが、私の参加した日は問題なくすべて体験できました。相当な高さのクリフからもダイブすることが出来、アクティビティのやった感は半端ないです。
ツアー終了後にランチに誘われましたが、午後からの予定を別に組んでいたためお断りしましたが、行っても楽しめただろうな~。
シュノーケリングから岩場に上がる際、波の引き戻しで溶岩の岩場で擦り傷切り傷を負うことがあり、実際に同行者が指と足を少しだけ切りました。マリンシューズだけでなくマリングローブの持参がお勧めです。

I was a bit anxious about getting to the meeting place by rental car, but with Google Maps, it was fine. Some people arrived a little late, but we waited cheerfully while chatting with the guide and everyone else. Before the tour started, we enjoyed eating naturally grown bananas and macadamia nuts while chatting. I don't speak English particularly well, but the horses are smart, so I had no worries. The guide was also a bright and fun person, making it the best memory of my trip.

I was able to swim with a lot of dolphins. They came so close that it was almost unbelievable. It was a little scary, as I thought we might collide. It was the most moving experience I've ever had. However, I was surprised that there was no guide; only the captain was present. The captain signaled from the boat, and I had to make my own judgment and move in that direction. I think this might be tough for first-timers. A guided tour where someone swims with you would definitely be more reassuring. I can speak enough English, so I had no trouble communicating. The captain's English was also easy to understand, so I recommend it for those with snorkeling experience. I was looking forward to snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay, but since we went after swimming with the dolphins, the intensity of the dolphins made the fish feel a bit underwhelming. However, I was lucky to see a whale on the way to Kealakekua Bay.
イルカとたくさん泳げました。信じられないくらいイルカが近づいてきてくれました。ぶつかるんじゃないかとちょっと怖いくらい。今までで一番の感動でした。ただびっくりしたのはガイドがいなかったこと。船長のみでした。船長が船から合図を送ってその方向に自分で判断して移動しなければなりません。これは初めての人にはきついんじゃないかと思います。一緒に泳いでくれるガイド付きのツアーの方がやっぱり安心です。英語はそれなりに話せるのでコミュニケーションには困りませんでしたが。船長の英語も聞き取りやすいので、シュノーケル経験者の方にはおすすめです。ケアラケクア湾のシュノーケルは楽しみにしていたのですが、イルカの後にいくので、イルカの迫力がすごすぎて魚では物足りない感じがしました。ただ、ケアラケクア湾に行く途中でクジラを見れたのはらっきーでした。

A 9-year-old child participated.
At first, they received lectures about sea turtles in a space next to the lagoon. After that, they had a lecture to interact with dolphins, followed by a hands-on experience in the lagoon.
So, while the time is stated as 20 minutes, that is the time spent interacting with the dolphins; in reality, I think we spent about an hour and a half to two hours in total.
The experience activity is quite pricey, but in return, you receive thorough lectures, and the satisfaction level is high. Since the age range for Kids Quest is 5 to 9 years, I felt it was the last chance for my child at this age, and I'm glad we participated.
All lectures and instructions are in English, but they explain things clearly with gestures, so even children can understand well.
9歳の子どもが参加しました。
はじめはラグーン横のスペースでウミガメなどの講義を受けます。その後イルカとふれあうためのレクチャーを受け、ラグーンでふれあい体験となります。
ですので、時間は20分とありますが、それはイルカとふれあっている時間で、実際には1時間半から2時間程度時間を費やしていたと思います。
体験アクティビティとしてはなかなかのお値段ですが、その分しっかりとレクチャーを受けられ、満足度は高いものです。キッズクエストの対象年齢が5~9歳なので年齢的に最後のチャンスだと思い、参加させて良かったです。
なお、講義やレクチャー等全て英語ですが、ジェスチャーを交えてわかりやすく説明してくれるので、子どもでも十分理解していました。

This was my first time horseback riding. We drove down to the Waipi'o Valley from the meeting point in a car driven by our guide, received a horseback riding lecture, and the guide selected horses that suited each of us. From there, we rode on our own.
At first, I was anxious, but the horses are well-trained, so while there were a few minor scuffles between them, they didn't act out in any significant way. This activity allows you to enjoy the scenery and horseback riding at a walking pace, so if you're looking to gallop, you might find it lacking.
The guide uses Japanese for words like "danger" and "single file," but explanations about the scenery and plants are in English, so if you prefer those explanations in Japanese, I recommend looking for another company.
I was able to see some precious landscapes, so I would love to participate in this activity again the next time I visit the Big Island.
乗馬はほぼ初めてでした。
ワイピオ渓谷の下までは集合場所からガイドさん運転の車で下り、乗馬のレクチャーを受け、ガイドさんがそれぞれに合った馬を選んでくれます。そこからは1人で乗馬です。
最初は不安でしたが、馬はよく訓練されているので、馬同士のちょっとした小競り合いはあるものの、特段暴れたりすることもありません。
歩く速度で景色と乗馬を楽しむアクティビティなので、馬を走らせたい方には物足りないと思います。
ガイドさんは「あぶない」「一列」などの単語は日本語で言ってくれますが、景色や植物の説明などは英語なので、そういった説明を日本語で受けたい方は別の会社を探した方がいいと思います。
貴重な風景が見られたので、次にハワイ島へ行く時もまた参加したいアクティビティです。

When I go to the Big Island, I always participate in snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay. At first, I joined the morning session with lunch included, but since this is my sixth time, I now participate in the afternoon session. The catamaran is comfortable and has a restroom. The Captain Cook monument and the bay right in front of you are truly beautiful, with dense coral and lots of tropical fish! I think this is the best place in Hawaii to see fish clearly. Japanese visitors staying on the Big Island tend to go to other tourist spots, and there are usually only Westerners participating in the snorkeling tours, but I really hope everyone can experience this beautiful underwater world. It was a thoroughly satisfying snorkeling experience!

I rode a horse named Cisco in the refreshing breeze and strolled through the wide ranch with my wife. Since I had some riding experience, it was particularly comfortable to stray a little from the group. It seemed that more than half of the ten people were riding for the first time. I think they can enjoy it as well. Anyway, riding through the grasslands while taking in the gentle distant views of the wide hills is the best.

My wife wanted to play with dolphins, so she participated alone. I didn't join and just watched from the side, but opportunities to interact closely with dolphins are rare. It looked like she was having a great time just watching. When I asked her later, she said it was really fun, and I thought to myself that I should have participated too. It does come with a certain cost, but considering the emotional experience you gain, I think it's worth participating!

This was my second dolphin swim on the Big Island, and this time I challenged myself with an English guide. I arrived just in time and was told, "Park the car quickly! Quickly!" I didn't even know where to park, and the first place I stopped was for boat towing, so I ended up parking on the street. There was also a Japanese couple who seemed to be getting scolded in the same way.
Last time, I brought my own gear, but this time I rented a mask and fins. I think I misunderstood some of the instructions; I heard that we shouldn't chase or touch the dolphins, just hold onto the float and watch, and not to splash with the fins. However, once I got into the water, I was scolded with "quickly!" and I desperately tried to swim towards the dolphins, but in the end, I was told, "You are like a turtle," and I was exhausted. However, in the end, I was able to swim with many dolphins, and on the way back, they provided fruit and showed us places that we couldn't see by car.
There were many people snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay, but the water was very clear, and there were plenty of fish, which was satisfying. Last time, there was a Japanese guide, but there were many people, and it was quite chaotic. This time, there were only two of us, so I was able to fully enjoy the dolphin swim.
From this experience, I learned:
- If there is no transportation provided, I should confirm the availability of parking.
- Even with experience, I shouldn't respond with just a vague understanding when guided in English.
- Snorkelers should bring their own gear.
These may seem like obvious points, but since it was my second time participating, I had underestimated some aspects. Please be careful when you participate.
2回目のハワイ島でのドルフィンスイム、今回は英語ガイドに挑戦。到着がギリギリになってしまい、「早く車停めてきて、quickly!quickly!」どこに停めるかもわからず、一度停めたところはボートの牽引用で、路駐する形で停めました。同じように怒られてる日本人のカップルもいました。
前回は自分の道具を持って行ったのですが、今回はマスク、フィンはレンタルをしました。私が何となくの理解で返事をしていたのが悪かったのですが、イルカを見つけても、追ってはいけない、触ってはいけない、浮き具につかまって見るだけ、フィンをばたばたさせない、など説明は聞き取れていたように思ったのですが、いざ海に入ってみると、「quickly!」と責め立てられ、一生懸命イルカのほうに向かっていったのですが、挙句の果てには「あなたはカメね」といわれ、ヘロヘロになってしまいました。ですが、最後にはたくさんのイルカと泳ぐことができ、帰りのボートではフルーツのサービスや、ラバチューブなど車では見れないようなところも案内してくれました。ケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングはたくさんの人がいましたが、透明度の高い海で魚もたくさんおり、満足のいくものでした。前回は日本語ガイドでしたが人数も多く、かなりワチャワチャしてましたが、今回は二人だけだったので、ドルフィンスイムも満喫できました。
今回の学びとしては、
・送迎なしの場合、駐車場の有無は確認すべき。
・経験があっても、英語ガイドで何となくの理解で返事をしてはいけない。
・シュノ―ケラーは自分の道具をもっていくべし。
当たり前のことではありますが、2回目の参加ということで、甘く考えてたところもありました。参加の際にはお気を付けくださいませ。

This was my second horseback riding experience on the Big Island, and I really wanted to go to Waipi'o Valley, so I joined my husband. I have some riding experience, so I had no problem with that, but there were eight people max, and everyone except us was from Europe or America. It was disappointing that I couldn't understand the guide's explanations about the plants. We had fun crossing streams and taking pictures in the valley's scenery. Crossing the river was thrilling, but we only walked the whole time. There was no fast walking or trotting. For that kind of riding, it seems better to go to a ranch. If you want to go to Waipi'o Valley on your own, it looks like the only option is to walk down a steep slope like the ones in Hakone, so I recommend joining a tour.

Overall, a beautiful adventure on the ocean. A few comments:
1 - waiting area prior to launching kayaks is full of mosquitoes and my children received many bites
2 - if you are not with a partner and have to go in a single kayak vs. tandem, know this is extra work as simply you don't have 4 arms paddling :-)
3 - the resting spot before heading back to the boat dock requires you to "climb" up a volcanic rock to have your snack/water - make sure you have proper water/outdoor shoes on as you will need that traction to climb up and then walk amongst the rocks; this applies to attire as well as my girls had bikini bottoms on and it was difficult to sit on the rocks with just their bikini bottoms and no towels etc (we did not know we would be stopping at that rock nor climbing up it so hence did not bring anything)
4 - this adventure is going up and back from the boat dock vs. being picked up after a one way paddle

I participated with my two high school daughters as a family of four. Although it was a group lesson, it turned out to be just our family since there were only four of us. We met on-site, and since we were staying in Keauhou, it was convenient to have both the beach and the office nearby.
First, we went to the office at 8:00 for an explanation and some preliminary practice, and then we made our way to the beach on our own. The beach was about a five-minute walk from the office. When we arrived, two instructors were waiting for us, and they taught the four of us. We took turns surfing in pairs, while the others rested by holding onto a float. The friendly lady who explained everything and the two instructors mentioned they were siblings or cousins and that they were doing this as a family.
Everything was in English, but we had no problem participating. I think their names were Jacob, John, and Tiffany. They were very friendly and cheerful. My daughters seemed to have so much fun that they even expressed a desire to surf again.

We went as a family of four with our two high school daughters. We chose this tour because it was a bit cheaper than the Japanese guide, but everyone else in the group was foreign and spoke fast English. However, the couple guiding us, Shiso and Tracy, were very attentive and engaged with us, mixing in a little Japanese to explain the horseback riding instructions. Our daughters had no problems and enjoyed horseback riding. It was a great experience to explore the Waipi'o Valley on horseback, something we wouldn't have been able to do on our own.
高校生の娘2人連れて4人家族で行きました。
日本語ガイドより少し安かったのでこちらにしましたが、私達以外の参加者みんな外国の方で早い英語がとびかっていましたが、夫婦でガイドをしているシソとトレーシーが何かと気にかけてくれて話しかけてくれたり、乗馬に関する注意事項なんかは少しの日本語を混じえて説明してくれました。娘たちも何も問題なく乗馬を楽しめました。自分ではなかなか行けないワイピオ渓谷の谷を馬で散策できて良い体験ができました。

Taking a helicopter ride around half of the Big Island offers a rare experience where you can witness "the Earth being alive." Driving this route by car takes over eight hours. The last time I visited, I drove around in a rental car, but it took a long time, and I ended up driving in complete darkness. I decided that next time, I would definitely take a helicopter.
With a helicopter, you can see the Haleakalā crater from above in just two hours, and you can land in valleys that are inaccessible by car, allowing you to enjoy waterfalls all to yourself.
Pilot TOSHI, who is Japanese, provides thorough explanations, so there's no need to worry about the language barrier. I highly recommend experiencing your first helicopter flight on the Big Island!
ヘリに乗ってハワイ島を半周すると、「地球が生きていること」を目の当たりにすることができる貴重な経験ができます。
このコースをクルマでドライブすると8時間以上かかります。前回来た時にレンタカーで回りましたが、時間がかかり、真っ暗な中を運転するはめになり、次回は絶対、ヘリでと、決めていました。
ヘリであれば、たった2時間で、しかもクルマでは見られないハレアカラの火口を上空から見ることができ、クルマではいけない渓谷に着陸して、滝を独り占めすることもできます。
日本人パイロットのTOSHIさんが、丁寧に解説してくれるので、言葉の心配はありません。
ヘリ飛行の初体験をぜひハワイ島で!おススメします。
