My first time on the Big Island. When I think of the Big Island, I think of the night views and stargazing at Mauna Kea, so I decided to join the tour.
The actual tour was truly fulfilling, and the scenery at Mauna Kea as it transitioned from sunset to night was amazing. Additionally, the guide took a lot of photos, creating wonderful memories.
To prevent altitude sickness, we were encouraged to drink water during the bus ride, and music was played to help keep us awake, which showed great consideration.
I would definitely recommend this to everyone!
はじめてのハワイ島。ハワイ島といえば、マウナケア山での夜景や星空観測だと思っていたので参加しました。
実際のツアーは本当に充実していて、夕焼け時から夜にかわるマウナケアでの景色が素晴らしかったです。また、ガイドさんが写真をたくさん撮ってくれ、とても良い思い出ができました^^
高山病にならないように、バスでの移動中に水を飲んだり眠らないようにするために音楽をかけていただいたりと、とても気づかいの感じられるツアーでした!
皆さんにおススメできると思います!

During my first visit to the Big Island, I participated in two sightseeing tours and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the island. While searching for memorable activities, I discovered this sea kayaking tour. Indeed, the views from the water are something you can't fully appreciate without experiencing them firsthand. While on the water, I was welcomed by a pod of dolphins, which was a memorable experience. The photos taken during the tour also serve as wonderful memories.
今回、初訪問のビッグアイランドで、2つの観光ツアーに参加して、一通り島内観光を満喫したので、何か思い出に残るアクティビティを探していたところ、このシーカヤック ツアーを発見しました。やはり、陸上からだけではなく、海の上から眺める景色は、体験してみないとわからないものです。海上では、イルカの群れの歓迎を受けることが出来て、思い出深い経験でした。撮影していただいたツアー中の写真も、良い思い出として残っています。

I had gone kayaking once on a lake, but it was my first time in the ocean, so I was a bit worried. However, with the excellent guidance from Kevin and Noni, I was able to paddle smoothly without veering off course, and getting back into the kayak from the ocean was also seamless. I was thrilled to successfully navigate through the underwater cave as well. While enjoying the leisurely kayaking and snorkeling, with explanations about the surrounding scenery, I didn't even end up with sore muscles. It was the best experience!
湖で1回カヤックをしたことがありましたが、海では初めてで少し心配でした。でもKevinさんとノニさんの指導が良く、曲がらずに楽に漕げたし、海からカヤックに上がるのもスムーズに出来、海中洞窟からバックするのもうまく出来て、うれしかった。周りの景色の説明を受けながら、のんびりカヤックとシュノーケルが出来て、筋肉痛にもならずに、最高でした。

The show featuring the ethnic dances of the South Pacific was impressive. The buffet and all-you-can-drink options were just okay. However, I had heard it would end at 20:30, so I called for a ride at that time, but it actually finished just after 19:30, nearly an hour early.

I experienced night marine sports for the first time. On the first attempt, we went out from the bay to the open sea, but the waves were high, so we had to turn back. Since there was availability the next day, I made a reservation on the spot.
The second time, the weather was good, and we set out safely. I had heard it could be cold, so I paid an extra fee to wear a wetsuit, which kept me warm until we reached the boat's anchoring point. While the other foreigners were in regular swimsuits, I personally felt it was a good decision to rent one.
After arriving at the anchoring point, we got off the boat and floated in the sea while the instructor pulled a float (something like two surfboards connected) to a spot where we could see manta rays. After waiting for a while, a manta ray appeared right in front of us and showed us its acrobatic flips. Illuminated by the blue light used to attract plankton in the dark night sea, the manta ray was incredibly beautiful and refreshing to behold (perhaps because I'm a beginner in marine sports).
The starry sky on the return boat ride was also lovely. The only slight disappointment was that the hot chocolate was very delicious, but the portion was small, so I couldn't have a second serving. I will definitely participate again next time.
夜のマリンスポーツを始めて体験しました。
1回目は湾から外海に出たものの波が高く引き返すことに。翌日に空きがあったのでその場で再予約してもらいました。
2回目は天気もよく無事に出向。寒い可能性もあると聞いていたため追加料金を払いウェットスーツを着ていたため船の停泊ポイント到着まで寒くなかったです。周りの外国人は普通の水着でしたが個人的には借りてよかったな。
船の停泊ポイント到着後、船から降り海の中でプカプカ浮きながらマンタがよく見えそうなポイントまでイントラクターが浮き輪?(サーフボードを2つくっつけたもののようなモノ)を引っ張って移動。しばらく待っているとマンタがわれわれの目の前に登場し宙返りする姿を見せてくれました。暗い夜の海の中、プランクトンを集めるための青いライトに照らされるマンタはとても美しく心が洗われました。(マリンスポーツ初心者だからでしょうか)
帰りの船から見る星空も素敵でした。
ちょっと残念なのはホットチョコレートがとっても美味しいのですが、量がすくないためお代わりができなかったことですかね。
次回も参加させて頂きます。

On the morning of the same day, I went on a dolphin tour, but surprisingly, I couldn't encounter any dolphins (I did meet them during a revenge swim), which was nerve-wracking. However, I did get to see manta rays! They were flipping in the air at close range, and it was truly moving.
That said, the night sea is indeed cold, so warm clothing is necessary. I'm extremely sensitive to the cold, so I wore my own thin semi-dry suit and a borrowed wetsuit on top, which kept me comfortable throughout. However, many others looked quite cold.
The hot chocolate that our guide, Tamae, served as a complimentary treat was one of the best I've ever had in my life. I wonder how she makes it!
同日の朝にイルカツアーにいったらまさかのイルカ遭遇できずで(リベンジスイムで会えましたが)ドキドキでしたが、マンタには出会えました!至近距離で何匹も宙返りしてくれて感動ものでした。
ただ、やっぱり夜の海は寒いので防寒は必要です。自分は極度の寒がりなので自前の薄いセミドライスーツを着てその上に借りたウェットを着ていたので終始快適に過ごせましたが、寒そうな方が多かったです。
ガイドのたまえさんがサービスで振る舞ってくれたホットチョコレートが今までの人生で一番くらいのレベルで美味しかったです。あれはどうやってつくるんだろう~。

After reading the detail for this tour we were extremely disappointed with what we experienced. We were a party of 4 who were split over 2 different tours. We thought this was due to weight restrictions which we couldn't understand because we are all average but in hindsight realise it was because we all wanted doors off. The pilot was great gave lots of detail and interesting facts. The flight was wonderful experiencing doors off just unfortunate the tour has not been revised since the lava stopped flowing and you spend the majority of the flight flying over blacken ground which becomes boring very fast. We were looking forward to seeing the waterfalls but this was a quick fly over and back to base so felt let down with this also. We had another couple on our flight as did my sister on her flight and all eight of us were extremely disappointed with what our tour delivered for the cost. The company really need to change the itinery for this tour to make it an experience to remember as it obviously once was when the lava was flowing.
Aloha Lizjazza,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your experience with us. We apologize that the experience didn't live up to your expectations. Sometimes, the booking process and weight and balance considerations necessitate us splitting groups to fit into our available capacity, but in all cases we strive to accommodate the desires of our guests. We find many passengers who remain excited to see the recent 7000+ acres of lava from last year's Leilani eruption, to include Fissure 8, and many completely engulfed coastal areas.

I booked a horseback riding tour in Waipi'o Valley at the request of my family. I was a bit anxious about the lack of transportation and that it was only in English, but I arrived without any issues using Google Maps for navigation, and I managed to communicate through gestures and simple words. Riding in the great outdoors, which we wouldn't have been able to do on our own, was truly amazing. The satisfaction exceeded my expectations, and if I have the chance to go again, I would love to join this tour once more!

Since my mother has difficulty walking, a tour that involves a lot of walking was not possible, so I signed up for this one. It takes about an hour and a half to drive from Waikoloa, but the road is almost straight, so I was able to get there without any mistakes using Google Maps. There are no doors, so the wind comes in strongly, making it quite cold. My mother seemed to really enjoy the best position next to the driver, as she could see both the front and the surroundings. We were also able to see how the lava flows into the sea while circling around the crater. Definitely worth it!
足が悪い母がいるので、がんがん歩くツアーは無理なので、こちらに申し込みました。ワイコロアからレンタカーで1時間半くらいですが、ほぼまっすぐの道なので、Google mapで間違いなくいけました。ドアなしなので、風はガンガン来ますので、寒いです。母は運転手のとなりのベストポジションで前も周りも見えてすごく楽しかったみたいです。火口もくるくる回ってくれて、海にどのように溶岩が流れていくかも見れました。価値あり!!

The tour was nice and Big Island is beautiful, but our tour guide gave an extensive history of Big Island which felt removed and disconnected from what we were seeing. The guide was asked multiple times from other people on the tour about things they had noticed during the tour but the guide was stuck on the historical narrative and refused to talk about "politics", yet the questions being asked were quite simple and relevant to what we were seeing. He was very knowledgeable but it made for a very tiring and boring ride. It would be great if he could break up the historical narrative with some more present-day information about Big Island.

On the third day of my stay at Sheraton Kona Resort, I signed up for the morning kayak experience! The session was originally scheduled for 9 AM, but it was changed to 7 AM due to the wave conditions, so I walked a few minutes to the meeting point. It was just the two of us Japanese guests, and our guide Noni was very kind and thorough in his instructions, and off we went!
You can put your belongings in a waterproof bag that you can borrow, but I wouldn't recommend bringing too much. Paddling the canoe while basking in the morning sun is wonderful, but sunglasses and a hat are essential due to the strong sunlight.
Paddling a considerable distance uses a lot of energy, but the wide, beautiful ocean and the refreshing breeze of nature without any noise are very pleasant. Even those who can't swim can float around with a life jacket while snorkeling, and there are lots of cute black and yellow fish, which is very soothing.
I panicked for a moment when I looked up and couldn't see the canoe, so it's important to be careful not to get too absorbed (laughs). Along the way, Noni shared some pineapple and chocolate muffins with us. Food tastes even better when eaten on the water.
Finally, Noni had a wonderful system where he emailed us various photos he had taken during the tour. I highly recommend this tour!
シェラトンコナリゾートで滞在して3日目にカヤック体験午前の部に参加申し込みしました!
9時からの体験でしたが、波の状態をみて7時からに変更になり、徒歩数分で待ち合わせ場所へ。

持ち物はお借りした防水バックに入れられますが、あまり多くは持ち込めないかと…。朝日を浴びながらカヌーを漕いで日差しが強いのでサングラスと帽子は必須。
結構な距離を漕いで体力使いますが、広くて綺麗な海と騒音の無い大自然の風が心地よい。
シュノーケルもライフジャケットを着てるので泳げない人でもプカプカ浮きながら黒や黄色の可愛い魚が沢山いて、これまた癒されます。
顔を上げたときにカヌーが見当たらなくて一瞬焦り、夢中になりすぎるのも要注意(笑)
途中、ノニさんがパイナップルとチョコマフィンのお裾分け。海の上で食べるものは、より美味しく感じます。
最後、ノニさんがいつ撮ってたのか色々な写真をメールで送ってくれるシステムがとても素晴らしかった♪
是非オススメしたいツアーです!

We participated as a couple at the end of October. Once on board, we started with breakfast. The muffins and other simple offerings were all delicious, and there was a good selection of coffee, tea, and soft drinks.
The snorkeling itself was beautiful with plenty of fish, but compared to the remote islands of Okinawa, it was a bit disappointing. After snorkeling, lunch was also delicious and enjoyable.
Later, we got to see dolphins swimming alongside the boat, jumping multiple times, and then we had another snorkeling session. It was a fun-filled experience, and if we have the chance, we would love to participate again.

We participated in the zip line experience without transportation. It was the first time for both a 66-year-old and a 51-year-old. The meeting place is easy to find, just off the main road, and the parking lot is spacious. We left all items that could fall, like rings, bracelets, and cameras, and moved to the course in a jeep. This was enjoyable in itself.
The first line was a short trial zip. It gradually got longer, and the last one was a couple's zip. I think it’s a well-thought-out course. The instructor takes photos (it would be nice if it were a bit cheaper). It was a refreshing experience that took us away from our daily lives.

指輪もブレスレットもカメラも、落としそうな物は全て預けて、ジープ(?)でコースに移動。これはこれで楽しい。
一本目は短いトライアル・ジップ。段々長くなり、最後はカップル・ジップ。良く考えられたコースだと思う。
インストラクターが写真を撮ってくれる(もう少し安いと良いのだけれどね)。
普段の生活から離れた、脳がスッキリする体験でした。

This horseback riding experience was so amazing! The guides were very experienced and there were experienced riders and first-timers in our group. Each participant was treated individually and to their level of comfort and experience! We rode through creeks and foliage and the slightest rainfall...it was a beautiful ride and gorgeous environment. The guides told us the history of the island and the Hawaiians who settled the valley...we also saw the wild horses along the way. Magical experience! 5-star!

The crew was fabulous, attentive and personable. Highly recommend, Captain was informative and friendly. Would definitely do this cruise again. Well worth the cost.
We were well informed of all the safety equipment on board in case of an emergency. We saw Dolphins on our cruise, which was also a highlight.
Ocean shores also has snorkeling trips which we will definitely be doing with them on our next trip.

It's natural, so there's nothing we can do about it, but even though we floated for 40 to 50 minutes, we only got to see them for a few seconds. The guide, Sean, said, "Did you see them? There were two, right? That's great!" but the truth is, there wasn't even time to take a photo. Plus, they were small. Is there a season when you can see large mantas or multiple mantas? In any case, it didn't feel like we really saw them. I was disappointed because I had the image of the whale sharks I saw in the Philippines in mind.
自然モノですから仕方ないのですが、40〜50分は浮かんでいたのに見れたのはほんの数秒でした。ガイドのショーンは「見れた? 二枚居たでしょ? 良かったね」と言っていたけれど、実際のところ写真を撮る暇もなかった。しかも小さい。大きなマンタ、はたまた何枚ものマンタを見れるシーズンがあるのでしょうか? いずれにせよ、見た感は無かった。フィリピンで見たジンベイザメのイメージがあったので、残念でした。
