This was by far our favorite part of visiting Hawaii for the first time. It was a total rush but we also felt completely safe with our extremely competent guides, Mattie and Jeramiah. Highly recommended. We have a slight fear of heights but the guides made us feel completely comfortable and we had so much fun!
If you're going to zip line in Hawaii, definitely use this company! Thanks again for an amazing experience, Kohala Zipline!

This was an excellent activity! Our pilot, Toshi, did a great job of getting us close to the lava flows and the waterfalls. He was extremely knowledgeable of all the sights and was able to effectively communicate to both those who only spoke English and those who only spoke Japanese. I would highly recommend this two hour flight over the other flights available. What you are able to see in that amount of time is well worth the extra money!

I thought this course would be perfect for us who love trekking, so I made a reservation. I was also attracted by the organizer's name, Hawaii Forest & Trail.
While I considered that since we had a rental car for waterfall trekking, we might not need a tour, I ultimately decided to leave it to the professionals.
At the time of booking, it was stated that there would be no pick-up service, but when I called to confirm on-site, I was pleasantly surprised to find out they would pick us up at our hotel. Additionally, they took our requests for the sandwich fillings for lunch. This really motivated us.
On the day of the tour, since it was an English-guided tour (with Mike as our guide), we had a diverse group including four families from Michigan, a Chinese American couple, a Japanese couple, and a Russian woman living in the U.S., along with us (with our 7-year-old child). It truly lived up to its name as a tour that everyone could enjoy.
With this group, we switched to an old military 6WD vehicle for an off-road experience. We bumped over private ranches and fields, and everyone was thrilled by the incredible vibrations and wind! It was quite cold. After that, we trekked through taro fields and across a suspension bridge, learning about ancient Hawaiian divination methods and plant names while visiting small waterfalls. Although we didn't swim due to the high water levels, I thought it would be a perfect spot in the summer.
The trekking was light enough that even our 7-year-old had no trouble, and we enjoyed a wrap sandwich filled with plenty of alfalfa, cheese, and turkey, along with guava juice and cookies at a ranch overlooking the stunning views of Pololu Valley. This wrap sandwich was among the top meals I had on the Big Island due to its location!
On the way back, we were jostled in the 6WD while exploring the town of Hawi. This town seems nostalgic to Westerners, and I heard from several people that it’s a nice place, although it’s not mentioned much in Japanese guidebooks.
The tour was different from those aimed at Japanese tourists, and I had a lot of fun. I got to know the other members well and exchanged various information, and Mike's warm hospitality along with the breathtaking photos of Pololu Valley left us with wonderful memories.
トレッキングが好きな私達にぴったりのコースだと思い予約しました。主催者の名前もHawaii Forrest & Trailで魅かれました。
滝トレッキングなら、レンタカーもしたしわざわざツアーでなくても良いかなとも思ったのですが、やはりそこはプロに任せることに。
予約時は送迎なしということでしたが、現地で電話で確認するとホテルまで迎えに来てくれるという嬉しい変更が。更に、昼食のサンドイッチの具のリクエストもきいてくれました。俄然やる気になる私達。
当日は、英語のガイドツアー(マイクさん)ということもあって、ミシガンからの4家族、チャイニーズアメリカンと日本人のカップル、在米ロシア人の女性一人参加、と私達(子供7歳)とまさにすべての人が楽しめるツアーと名をうっているだけのことはあるという、バリエーション豊かな面子でした。
このグループで、オーストリアの昔の軍用車6WDに乗り換えてのオフロード体験。私有地の牧場や、畑をがたがた超えてすごい振動と風にみんな大興奮!!かなり寒かったです。その後、タロ畑、つり橋をトレッキングし、ハワイ人古来の占い方法や植物の名前などを教わりながら小さな滝をめぐりました。増水していたので泳ぎはしませんでしたが、夏場だったら絶好の場所だと思いました。
7歳の子供でも全く足でまどいになることがない軽い感じのトレッキングで、ポロル渓谷の絶景を臨む牧場でたっぷりのアルファルファとチーズとターキーのラップサンドと、グアバジュース、クッキーを頂きました。このラップサンド、場所が場所だけに、ハワイ島で味わった食事1,2を争う美味しさでした!
帰りは6WDに揺られて、HAWIの町を散策。この町は欧米人にはノスタルジックらしく、いい場所だと何人からもきいていましたが日本人のガイドブックにはあまり述べられていない場所です。
日本人向けのツアーと、またおもむきやメンバーが違って非常に楽しめました。他のメンバーとも仲良くなって色々情報交換もでき、マイクさんの暖かいホスピタリティーとポロル渓谷の絶景写真と非常によい思い出が残りました。

I was looking forward to seeing the bright red lava flowing into the sea at Kilauea Volcano, but since the earthquake in March, the lava flow has stopped, and the red lava can only be seen from a helicopter. The cost is a bit high, but since it was a special trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, I splurged and participated with my wife.
It was my first time in a helicopter, and I was a bit nervous, but the view from above was amazing. The volcanic rock, the red lava, and the flowing waterfalls were all incredibly satisfying.

We participated as a family of four, including our children (ages 4 and 2). The price is honestly high, but it was a valuable tour.
As of November 2011, the volcano was in a state of calm, so we couldn't see the flowing lava, but we were able to see red magma and smoke from the cracks in the earth. It was great to see the different landscapes of the island from the air, including near waterfalls, the ocean, and land with varying climates.
By the way, our original reservation date was canceled due to bad weather after checking in on-site. Since we had some flexibility in our schedule, we were able to change it to a later date and participate without any issues. If you make a reservation, I recommend booking for the first half of your arrival in Hawaii and setting aside an extra day as a backup.
I had hoped for a Japanese-speaking pilot for our weekday reservation, but unfortunately, the guidance was in English. Honestly, I didn't understand most of the explanations, but I enjoyed the scenery. If there had been a Japanese guide, I might have enjoyed it even more. That's the only disappointment.
夫婦+子ども(4歳、2歳)の4人で参加しました。
価格は正直高いですが、価値のあるツアーでした。
2011年11月現在は火山も小康状態ということで
流れる溶岩をみることはできませんでしたが、
大地の切れ目から見える赤いマグマ、煙をみることができ、
島内遊覧も滝の近くや海や陸、気候の違う大地を空からみることができて良かったです。
ちなみに、当初の予約日は天候不良のため、現地チェックイン後に催行中止になりました。
日程に余裕があったので、後日に変更して無事参加できました。
予約される場合は、ハワイ島到着日前半に予約をして
予備日を一日設けておくのをお勧めします。
平日予約で日本人パイロット希望でしたが、残念ながら英語案内でした。
正直説明はほとんどわかりませんでしたが、景色は楽しめました。

Cahuilla Ranch is about an hour's drive from the airport. It's located about 11 miles up a mountain road. The elevation is quite high, so it feels cool, and we ride horses in a line across the spacious ranch. My mother was a complete beginner this time, but she seemed to enjoy it very much. We were able to ride comfortably in the clear air. Since we ride for a long time, it's a good idea to apply sunscreen!

This is something I absolutely think everyone should experience!
In addition to seeing the moving red lava, they also took us to a canyon that can only be accessed by helicopter, showcasing a world you can't see in everyday life.
You can witness the wonders of nature.
The pilot, Toshi, was a fun person and provided a lot of explanations, which was great.
I heard that Toshi also runs a company called Aloha Breeze.
Since you can see the natural conditions at that time, I don't think you'll ever get tired of the experience, no matter how many times you do it.
I definitely plan to ride in a helicopter again next time!

After driving around the Big Island, I participated in this tour.
It was exciting to see the scenery and the overall landscape of the island that I couldn't see from the car.
In Hawaii, the clouds feel very low. The moment I entered the clouds, water droplets formed on the window, and the wind from the propeller made them slide down the window at an incredible speed, which was quite a surprise.
I could see the boundary between the grassy areas and the black regions where lava had solidified, observe plants growing only along the river in places without paths, suddenly encounter a volcano with glowing red lava inside, and get close to a magnificent waterfall surrounded by lush greenery. It was truly a tour that allowed me to experience the grandeur of Hawaii's nature.
I was hoping for a Japanese pilot, but unfortunately, it was conducted in English.
If I understood a bit more English, it would have been even more interesting... I realized my lack of English skills.
Of course, the pilot was very refreshing and a wonderful person.
After seeing the overall landscape from here, driving around the island might spark more interest in various things.
車でハワイ島を回った後に参加。
車では見えなかった景色や島の全貌が見え興奮ものでした。
ハワイは雲がとても低く感じられます。
雲に入った瞬間に窓に水滴がつきプロペラの爆風ですごい勢いで窓を伝って滑り落ちていく様までが珍しく、驚きの連続でした。
草原地帯と、溶岩の固まったような黒いエリアの境目が見えたり、道なき場所にある川沿いにだけ植物が育っているのをみたり、急に火山が出現しその中で溶岩が赤く光っているのをみたり、そうかと思えば、緑あふれるにある壮大な滝に接近したり、本当にハワイの自然の壮大さを体感でいるツアーでした。
日本人パイロットもいるということでそれにかけていましたが、残念ながら英語対応。
もうちょっと英語がわかればもっとおもしろかったのに…。自分の英語力のなさを痛感しました。
もちろんパイロットさんは、とっても爽やかで素敵な方でしたいよ。

This was an excellent trip!
The pre-flight activities were well organized, and the staff was very courteous.
The actual flight was incredible, and the pilot was very knowledgeable. It was wonderful to be able to ask questions while in flight.
The weather was the only drawback. We couldn't see the crater due to rain/fog/wind. It was still an incredible trip, but it would have been even better to see the crater.
I would recommend this trip to anyone, although considering the cost, children probably wouldn't enjoy as much as adults. Seating is arranged by weight to balance the ride, so young children could be separated from Mom - might be an issue for some.
Overall, a wonderful tour conducted by a wonderful company.

The staff's service is outstanding. They are friendly and approachable. The pilot was cautious and serious, and the explanations were easy to understand (he's from Hawaii). It was the most comfortable helicopter ride I've ever experienced.
I started to get a bit bored with the endless expanse of volcanic ash and land, but then came the breathtaking beauty of the Kohala Coast and Waipi'o Valley!!!! I think this beauty can only be appreciated from a helicopter. When I spotted a mother and baby whale swimming from above and informed the pilot, he kindly showed us from an angle where everyone could see, which was truly moving.
For those who want to condense the essence of the vast Hawaii Island into a short time, this adventure comes highly recommended.

When we go to tropical destinations we make a point of booking a snorkel sail sometime during our vacation.
We have gone on a number of them in the Caribbean and Hawaii and have really enjoyed them all.
Our all time favorite was the Holo Holo charter on Kauai that took us over to Napali.
My wife and I, as well as our 3 boys, really like getting out on the ocean in a smooth running catamarran.
The Black Sand Snorkel sail was a blast. We really enjoyed the Sea Smoke and the awesome crew. Kane was very friendly and knowledgeable, and Captain Pat was great as well.
One of the main reasons I booked this particular snorkel sail was that it was close to our condo villiage in the Waikoloa Beach Resort. I think it may have been the only one available in that area since most of the others were out of the Kona area.
The only things I would not comment positively on were the fact that the breakfast offering was not good. All they served were some sliced oranges. Other sails I have been on ha

Excellent. To start, we went out on the Sea Smoke, little did we know, this was owned by James Arness (Gun Smoke TV show) and he raced this from LA to Hawaii and beat the pack by 2-days… So we were sailing on a piece of history.
Crew was awesome and extremely hospitable. Equipment was very good; food and beverages were high quality and fresh.
We arrived at the dive spot and it was amazing, sea turtles to say the least. The black sand beach was amazing and really different than the typical white sugar sand that most beaches are made of.
I would recommend this to all skill levels and all ages.
On the way back they sent up the sails and turned the engine off, we enjoyed the speed and stability that 60’ catamarans are famous for.
If you have a chance, don't miss this opportunity to view the Big Island and its beautiful coastline from the ocean… Well worth the 4-hour snorkel adventure and very convenient to find as this is anchored at the Waikoloa Marriot.

To start off with when we were making reservations transportation aparently wasn't available. Don't let them tell you that. They have vans and make pick-ups from the hotel we stayed in. We took the big island spectacular 2 hour. It was nice. The volcano part wasn't what i thought. I expected to see flowing lava. All you see is the top crust of past lava flows. Even the volcano vent wasn't what I thought it would be. The VOG was so thick thast about all you could see. A little let down. Although the 2nd part was the tropical rain forest. We had a nice ride along the ocean front. Went up the valleys and saw more waterfalls than I could keep track of. Pilot even sighted some whales and circled for us. Wind turbulance in some of the valleys made me tighten my seat belt a bit. Later I learned the pilot is a retired coast guard pilot. Wish I knew that going in, I would have been a bit more relaxed.

We participated in a lava and canyon tour with a family of six, including an 83-year-old. Fortunately, the pilot was Japanese, so the explanations were easy to understand, which was great. Honestly, while it was nice to see the lava flowing to the coast, I had imagined something a bit more intense. What exceeded my expectations was the number of waterfalls in the canyon and the breathtaking experience of flying deep into the carved canyon, which is something only a helicopter can offer—absolutely amazing!
Hawaii Island has many areas that are difficult to access from the ground, so I recommend it for those with weaker legs. Although it costs a bit, the view from the sky during the nearly two-hour flight was worth it. I bought a video tape that included scenes from inside the aircraft, which became a fun memory.

I thought the "dinner cruise" would be on a larger ship, but it was a yacht. It rocked quite a bit. The weather was nice, so the sunset and the view of the volcano were absolutely stunning. The buffet food was completely different from what was listed on the website. It wasn't bad, but when I tried to eat a salad with lettuce on the ship, it all blew away in the wind. However, considering the cost, I suppose this is what you get, and I wasn't dissatisfied. The staff was cheerful and friendly. I got lost on the way back to the shuttle bus from the coast. While I was lost, I ended up at the Marriott Hotel, so I went shopping at Kings Market. When I called the travel desk about getting lost, they said, "You don't have to worry too much about the shuttle bus." This seems to reflect the laid-back nature of Hawaii. I watched the sunset five times on the Big Island, and each time felt different. It would have been better to have dinner at a restaurant with a terrace while watching the sunset.
「ディナークルーズ」というのでもっと大きな船かと思っていたら、ヨットだった。
