ケアウホウ湾シーカヤック&シュノーケルツアー 海中洞窟探検プランあり <早朝・午前/日本語ガイド>by キング・カヤック・ハワイ

Safe for families with children. 子ども連れでも安心

Reviewed by: えっぴい

I participated in the morning session. Although I had experience kayaking on rivers, this was my first time sea kayaking, but there was a thorough briefing before we entered the ocean. As soon as we got into the water, we encountered a pod of dolphins. It was a very lucky start to our trip. Along the way, some of the children got seasick, but one of the two guides accompanied us back to the bay, and after a short rest, we were able to enjoy snorkeling safely in the bay. They took many photos and sent them to us via email, which made for wonderful memories.

午前の回に参加しました。
川でのカヤック経験はあったものの、シーカヤックは初体験でしたが、海に入る前に丁寧なレクチャーがありました。
海に入るとすぐにイルカの群れに遭遇。とてもラッキーな船出でした。
途中子どもたちが船酔いになってしまいましたが、2枚のガイドさんのうちの1名の方が付き添って湾まで戻ってくれ、少し休んで無事湾の中でのシュノーケリングも楽しむことができました。
写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、メールで送ってくださったのでとても良い思い出になりました。

  • 2人一組で漕いで行きます。かなり波が高いです。

  • 洞窟で竜の鳴き声のような音を聞いています。

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ <12~3月/午前/軽食付き/ワイコロアまたはカワイハエ港発>

It was an English tour, but I was able to enjoy whale watching without any issues. 英語のツアーでしたが無事にホエールウォッチングを楽しめました。

Reviewed by: Yuka

My English skills were below the level of daily conversation, but I was able to enjoy the experience without any problems.

【Before Boarding the Boat】
At the scheduled time, a small bus came to pick us up at the hotel front. We were dropped off near the sea close to Waikoloa and were told, "Come back here when you're done. Also, please fill out the consent form over there before boarding the boat." We headed towards a beach house on the sand. After completing the electronic signature on a device that looked like a tablet, we waited for about 10 minutes until a small boat arrived, and we boarded it. We transferred from the small boat to a larger boat just before going out to sea. There were only two of us from Japan participating.

【Whale Watching Experience】
Seating on the boat was free. Since it was an English tour, I couldn't understand what was being said at all (laughs). The boat was also swaying, so when standing up to take pictures of the whales, everyone stood, so please make sure to hold onto the ropes or handrails tightly. Although it was far away, we were able to see the whales spouting water about 4 to 5 times and also witnessed a low jump of a whale arching its back. It was a precious experience where I could feel the great nature of Hawaii Island. The crew was a kind young man. He said, "You can almost see whales every day! Dolphins are occasional. There are more in Kona than here." I was shown a picture of the boat getting very close to a whale by the crew, and I was amazed at how impressive it was. Since it depends on luck whether you see whales or not, I thought, "There are lucky days like this." By the way, the two of us did not get seasick.

【After Whale Watching】
Around 9:30, we got off the boat and transferred to a small boat to return to the beach. We boarded the bus we took on the way there and safely arrived back at the hotel front, marking the end of the tour.

Since it was my first experience with whale watching, I’m glad I participated! While waiting for the whales, I also enjoyed cruising. I could see the mountains like Mauna Kea in the distance and the beautiful coastline, making for a graceful time.

日常会話レベル以下の英語力でしたが、特に問題なく楽しむことができました。

【船に乗るまで】
時間になったらホテルのフロントまで小型バスが迎えに来てくれました。
ワイコロアから程近い海に降ろされ「終わったらここに戻ってきてね。それと船に乗る前に同意書は向こうで書いてね。」と言われ、砂浜にある海の家(?)に向かいます。タブレットのような機械で電子サインを済ませ10分ほど待つと小さな船が来たので乗りました。
沖より少し手前で小さな船から大きな船に移ります。
日本人参加者は私達2人だけでした。

【ホエールウォッチング体験】
船の席は自由です。英語ツアーなので私は何を言っているかはちんぷんかんぷんでした(笑)。
また船は揺れるので立ち上がってクジラの写真を撮る際は、皆立つのでしっかりロープや手すりにつかまってください。
遠かったですが4〜5回クジラの潮吹きを見ることができ、クジラの反り返りの低いジャンプも見ることができました。ハワイ島の大自然を感じられた瞬間で貴重な体験でした。
クルーも親切なお兄ちゃんでした。「クジラは毎日ほぼ見れるよ!イルカはたまに。ここよりもコナの方がいるよ。」とのこと。クルーのお兄ちゃんに船でクジラに大接近してる画像を見せてもらい、大迫力すぎて驚きました。自然相手なのでクジラに会えるor会えないは運ですが、こういうラッキーな日もあるんだなぁと思いました。ちなみに、私達2人は船酔いせずに済みました。

【ホエールウォッチングを終えて】
9:30頃船から降りて、また小さい船に移動し砂浜へ戻ります。行きに乗ったバスに乗り込み、無事にホテルのフロントに到着し無事にツアー終了となりました☆

ホエールウォッチングは初めての経験だったので、参加してよかったです!またクジラを待ってる間はクルージングとして楽しみましたよ。遠くの方にマウナケア等の山が見えて美しい海岸も見ることができ優雅な時間でした。

  • 船からは遠かったですがクジラの尾びれが!

  • クジラが反り返った瞬間を見ることができました。

All the tour guides were kind and very interesting! They shared a lot of love and knowledge about dolphins, which made it enjoyable on its own. They provided precise support to ensure we had a good encounter with the dolphins during the actual tour. It was really fun! I'm glad I chose this tour.

Reviewed by: ミシェル

I signed up because I wanted to see whales, but in the end, I couldn't see any. All I saw were a few small sharks and dolphins in the distance. Since both the sharks and dolphins were far away, it wasn't very exciting, and with nothing to see in the vast ocean, the nearly three-hour duration became quite boring. Considering it was a bit pricey for a cruise, I wonder if I can endure it...

Lovely experience

Super friendly staff and we had a wonderful time! Would recommend to anyone and everyone and would definitely go back when I have the chance! Despite the fact that it was raining the day we went (which actually made the experience more exhilarating, as the rain made us go even faster than normal) , the views were still incredible. The staff was patient and their energy made the experience more fun for everyone. By the end of the zipline I was ready to do it all over again!

The horseback riding in the jungle at the bottom of the valley, which would be very difficult for us to visit on our own, was amazing. The horses were all very gentle and listened well.

Great boating adventure. No whales :/

Reviewed by: Greg D

While I understand that no one can truly guarantee seeing whales naturally, it's still a bit disappointing not to have seen any and the only reason Oceans Sports didn't get the full 5 stars. We appreciated the opportunity to try again another day but our demanding schedule didn't allow for it.

That being said, the crew was incredible fun and friendly and we very much enjoyed our "boating trip". The drinks were good and we got some incredible recommendations from the crew for lunch and other day-time activities. I would highly recommend this trip to others even with the off-chance of not seeing any whales.

I heard that the season had just started and the whales weren't very active, but we saw four splashes! One of them was quite close to us.
The front of the boat had a net, and the kids were lying down there, looking really comfortable! They were so relaxed that they fell into a deep sleep...

Since the guide spoke only in English, my kids and I didn't understand anything, but we still had a great time regardless!

まだシーズン始まったばかりで、クジラはあまり活発に動いてないと聞いていたのですが、4回スプラッシュ!その内1回はかなり近くで会うことができました。

ケアウホウ湾シーカヤック&シュノーケルツアー 海中洞窟探検プランあり <早朝・午前/日本語ガイド>by キング・カヤック・ハワイ

The proximity to the ocean is amazing! 海が近くて最高!

Reviewed by: ゴンゴン

Since it was my first time kayaking, I thought it would be nice to have a Japanese guide, so I signed up. Due to a cancellation in the group, I ended up having a one-on-one session with the guide, which turned out to be a lucky "VIP" experience for the day.

At first, I hurriedly paddled with my arms, but the guide advised me each time, saying, "It's okay to go slowly." I was able to feel the closeness of the sea, and the swaying of the waves and the view from the ocean felt completely different from what I had experienced on ships or boats before. I think I could enjoy the grandeur and openness of the sea even more. This time I was in a two-person kayak with the guide, but I want to challenge myself to a single kayak next time.

I also got to snorkel as much as I wanted, and I can't forget how delicious the pineapple we had while kayaking was.

If I were to suggest one improvement, it would be that the sign at the meeting point is small and hard to see for first-timers. Additionally, it was mentioned that the staff would be wearing yellow T-shirts, but in reality, it was another tour company wearing them, which caused me to mistakenly go there and almost be late.

初めてのシーカヤックだったので、日本語ガイドさんの説明がいいなぁ、と思い申し込みました。グループのキャンセルが出たため、ガイドさんとマンツーマンとなり「VIP」待遇のラッキーな一日でした。
カヤックの操作は慣れないうちは急いで腕で漕いでしまったのですが、ガイドさんが「ゆっくりでいいですよ~」とその都度アドバイスしてくれました。とにかく海(海面)が近くに感じることができ、波の揺れ、海からの景色もこれまで船舶やボートで体験したのとは全く違うように感じられました。海の雄大さや開放感をより楽しめると思います。今回はガイドさんと二人乗りのカヤックでしたが、次回は一人乗りにも挑戦したいです。
シュノーケリングも好きなだけやらせてもらい、その後にカヤックで食べたパイナップルの美味しさも忘れられません。
一点だけ改善するならば、初めての人には集合場所の看板が小さくてわかりにくいこと。また事前にスタッフは黄色のTシャツを着ている、と説明が書いてあったが、実際は他の催行会社が着ていたので間違えてそちらに行ってしまい遅刻しそうになりました。

Manta Ray Snorkling with Lions

Reviewed by: Jeff

We were greeting by Lions almost immediately. He explained what was going to happen and when since we were early. The Captains came over later and introduced themselves after the boat was prepared. We all loaded and headed out.
We were told sightings were hit and miss, but lately had been good. Since I had been praying for multiple sightings I was expecting it to be a good night. We were not disappointed. Lions took our group right to the spot, among many others. He took care of us like the amateurs we were. He continuously checked that were were OK and whether we needed anything. Plus prepared us as to where to look when a ray was headed toward us.
By the end of the trip we had seen 3 different rays. Lions said that was the best night in months. Thank you Lions and Captains for a very memorable tour.

I dressed quite warmly, but it was still cold. I definitely think you need hand warmers, a knit hat, and gloves!

There was an overwhelming sense of emotion that words can't fully express. I want to do it again!

Dear Susu,

Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea Summit Sunset and Stargazing Tour. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tour.

As the temperature at the summit can be around 0 degrees, we provide ski wear for our guests. However, since you will likely be sitting still for a long time while stargazing, we agree that bringing hand warmers, as you suggested, is a great idea. If you do bring them, please open them before the oxygen levels drop.

We sincerely hope you will join us again for another tour. All of our staff are looking forward to your return to the island.

この度は弊社のマウナケア山頂夕陽と星空観測ツアーへご参加頂きまして誠にありがとうございました。
すっすー様にご満足いただけるツアーとなりましたこと、大変嬉しく思います。
山頂は0度前後となりますのでスキーウエアをお貸出ししておりますが、星空観賞などじっとしてるお時間も長いかと思いますので、すっすー様のおっしゃる通りホッカイロなどのご持参もとても良いと思います。その場合は、酸素が薄くなる前にご開封ください。
是非また弊社のツアーへご参加頂ければと存じます。
スタッフ一同、すっすー様のまたのご来島を心よりお待ち申し上げます。

An astonishing encounter! 驚くほどの遭遇!

Reviewed by: yasusu

An incredible number of dolphins beyond my imagination! The tour guide was very kind and entertaining, providing great support to ensure we encountered many dolphins, and we were able to swim freely! It became the best memory, and I would love to do it again!

想像を超えるイルカの数!でした。
ツアーガイドさんはとても親切で面白く、イルカとたくさん遭遇できるようしっかりサポートしてくださり、ガンガン泳がせてもらえました!
最高な思い出になり、またリピートさせて頂きたいとおもいます!

Umauma Falls Hilo Zipline Tours on the Big Island - 9 Lines with Optional Waterfall Swim & Lunch

This is THE zipline tour you want!!

Reviewed by: Christina

If you're planning on ziplining, or have any remote interest in it, do this tour it's so worth it! I had never been ziplining before, and I'm glad this was my first experience. It was a decently long excursion and had 9 separate lines which all offered unique and breathtaking views. Each line felt different, and our guides even taught us how to do tricks like going upside down. You start with tandem lines so you're going with a buddy, plus the guides are great at keeping everyone calm. Our zipline guides Scot, Ian, Maccai (sorry for any misspelling) really kept the party going. Literally, they brought radios with them and danced with us. Honestly they were as entertaining as the ziplining. They even prepared some fresh guava and citrus for us (which tasted AMAZING). We asked them for some local grub recommendations which were all great. Overall amazing experience!

As an aside, the property is so beautiful that alone is worth the money- take some time to walk around and stroll through the gardens after your tour. I also bought the video from them at the end, totally worth. Thanks for keeping us safe and showing us a fantastic time guys!

Hilo Garden, Maze & Waterfalls Self-Guided Tour - Botanical World Adventures

Beautiful and wild property

Reviewed by: Christina

I absolutely recommend the self-guided walking tour if you're in the area. The property is huge- seriously you can explore for hours! There was a cute little farmers market happening with live music as well. Absolutely make a trip up to the Kamaee falls at the top of the property- the views were breathtaking. The hedge maze was fun and fairly challenging- it took us a good 30 minutes to get out. The gardens are a bit rugged at some parts which adds to their natural beauty- just be careful when traversing the river trails, they're narrow and slippery but worth the view. Also watch out for spider webs! Overall, really beautiful area of the island and worth spending some time in!

  • The smaller falls on the river trail

  • Just a real neat plant

  • The view from the Kamaee Falls

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ <12~3月/午前/軽食付き/ワイコロアまたはカワイハエ港発>

Whale watching ホエールウオッチング

Reviewed by: あかさたな

The meeting place was changed the day before the tour. It was quite far from Kailua, which was a hassle. Also, the whales didn't show up; they just floated in the sea. Since it was only in English, I think it would be quite boring if you didn't understand. The good point was that they gave us a voucher to participate for free next time. But I probably won't go again.

ツアーの前日に、集合場所が変更になりました。
かなり、カイルアからは遠くて、参りました。
また、ホエールは現れずただ海に浮かんでいただけでした。
英語しか無い日取りだったので、分からないとかなりつまらないと思います。
良い点は次回無料で参加できるvoucherをくれたこと。
でも、もう行かないかな。

A stunning sunset and an inspiring starry sky. 見ごたえ十分のサンセットと感動の星空

Reviewed by: ひでこ

I signed up because I wanted to experience the majestic nature of the Big Island of Hawaii. Since it was a tour in nature, I thought it couldn't be helped if the weather was bad, but luckily, I was able to see a beautiful sunset and starry sky. The tour guide was very kind, and they took many commemorative photos, making it a wonderful memory of my trip.

ハワイ島の雄大な自然を体験したいと思い、申込みました。自然が相手のツアーなので、天気が悪くても仕方ないと思っていましたが、ラッキーなことに綺麗なサンセットと星空を見ることができました。ツアーガイドの方もとても優しく、たくさん記念写真も撮っていただき、旅の良い思い出となりました。

Dear Hideko,

Thank you very much for participating in our tour.

The sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea is truly wonderful and moving, no matter how many times you see it. It makes you forget all your worries. It truly is a world-class view.

Hawaii Island has not only Mauna Kea but also the World Heritage site of Kilauea Volcano, so we hope you will come back to the nature-filled Hawaii Island next time.

We look forward to seeing you.

マウナケアの山頂での夕陽は何回見ても素晴らしく感動です。嫌なことも忘れてしまいますね。さすが世界の絶景です。

ハワイ島はマウナケアだけではなく世界遺産のキラウエア火山もございますので次回も自然たっぷりのハワイ島にお越しくださいませ。

お待ちしております。

My anxiety about heights turned out to be unfounded. 高所への不安も杞憂に終わりました

Reviewed by: anatahan

During our break at the park and dinner at the Onizuka Center, we gradually acclimated to the high altitude without any issues. A foreign family who drove up in their private car outside of the tour was suffering from altitude sickness at the viewpoint parking lot near the summit, so having an experienced guide was greatly appreciated. They took many great photos with a good camera, and you can't capture the starry sky with a smartphone!

On the way back, despite some tire trouble with the car, we were able to transfer to another vehicle from the same company and ultimately returned to the hotel earlier than expected. The response to everything was appropriate and wonderful.

As someone who was in the astronomy club in high school, this was a long-held dream of mine for good stargazing. I wished I could have stayed until morning.

途中の公園での休憩、オニヅカセンターでの夕食と順を追って高地に順応して行くので、まったく問題はありませんでした。ツアー外で自家用車で上って来た外人親子は、山頂付近の展望台駐車場で高山病に苦しんでいましたので、経験あるガイドのサポートがありがたかったです。良いカメラで写真もたくさん撮って頂きましたし、スマホでは星空は撮れない!
帰途は車のタイヤ不調も、同じ会社の別の車に一部が移動して、結局、早くホテルに戻ることが出来ました。何から何まで適切な素晴らしい対応でした。
高校時代は天文部だった私にとっては、宿願だった良好な天体観測でした。朝まで居たかったくらいです。

Dear Anatahan,

Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea sunset and stargazing tour. Our tours always include altitude acclimatization, so cases of altitude sickness are very rare. We also keep oxygen tanks in the vehicle, so you can join us with peace of mind.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by vehicle issues on the day of your tour. We conduct vehicle inspections every day before departure, but in unexpected situations like this, we strive to ensure a smooth vehicle exchange without keeping our customers waiting. I'm relieved to hear that you were able to return to the hotel earlier than planned.

This photo is now quite precious! The Big Island is made up of volcanic landscapes, and the views you can see only at that time are truly a highlight.

We hope you will join us again for a stargazing tour. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.

この度は弊社のマウナケア山頂夕陽と星空観測ツアーへご参加頂き、誠にありがとうございます。 
弊社のツアーでは、必ず高度順応致しますので、高山病にかかる方はごく稀ですが、酸素ボンベを必ず車に常備しておりますので、安心してご参加いただけます。

当日は、車両不備により、ご迷惑をお掛け致しまして誠に申し訳ございませんでした。
毎日出発前に車両の点検を行っておりますが、このような不測の事態では、お客様をお待たせさせずスムーズに車両交換が行える様に努めております。
今回は予定よりも早くホテルへお戻り頂けたとのことで安心しました。

このお写真は今では貴重ですね!
ハワイ島は火山で出来上がった島なので、その時にしか見れない風景なども醍醐味ですね。

また是非星空観測のツアーへご参加ください。スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。

Only the bento... お弁当だけが、、

Reviewed by: アタラシ

The quality of the bento is lower compared to other companies. I would appreciate it if you could let me know when to eat it early. Other than that, I am satisfied.

お弁当の質が他社に比べると落ちる。早い時間に食べること言ってくれると嬉しいです。その他は満足しています。

Dear Atarashi,

Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea Summit Sunset and Stargazing Tour.

We sincerely apologize for your dissatisfaction with the bento. We will take your feedback into consideration for future improvements.

Additionally, please note that meals are served after arriving at the Onizuka Center to allow for altitude acclimatization, which unfortunately means they will be served before sunset. We apologize for this. The arrival time at Onizuka may also vary with the seasons, which will affect the timing of the bento as well. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

Thank you once again. We look forward to serving you again in the future.

この度は弊社のマウナケア山頂夕陽と星空観測ツアーへご参加頂きまして誠にありがとうございました。

お弁当にご満足頂けなかったとのことで大変申し訳ございませんでした。 
アタラシ様の意見を参考に、今後スタッフで検討致します。 

また、お食事はオニズカセンターへご到着後に高度順応を兼ねてお出ししておりますので、どうしても日没前となります。申し訳ございません。
また季節に合わせてオニヅカへの到着時間が変わりますので、お弁当のお時間も前後いたします。ご理解頂けますよう何卒宜しくお願い致します。

この度は誠にありがとうございました。
またのご利用を心よりお待ち申し上げます。
