Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2011/08/23This was a very unique experience for us. We felt in very good hands with our guides, considering we were in the open Ocean! Everyone was very friendly, and were quick to point out a pod of dolphins and their new baby! Totally awesome!

ハワイ島 パラセイリング ＜午前・午後／カイルアコナ発＞ by UFO Parasail
水平線
Reviewed by: 匿名希望, 2011/08/22開店前の到着にもかかわらず、オフィスの女性が丁重に対応してくれました。駐車場の利用案内まで説明してくれました。開店してからは、最初に免責等の確認事項の日本語文書をもらいましたがその内容を理解するのが少々厄介でした。おそらく自動翻訳機能をつかった文章かと・・・。それでも何とか言わんとすることを理解してサイン。主人、息子、私の３人一緒に一気に上空へ。びっくりすほど高く、時には海に着水しそうに低く、船長さんがスピード、方向をうまくコントロールしてくれたおかげで、家族で今までにない感動を共有することができました。また、天候に恵まれたおかげで水平線が弧を描いているのを自分の目で確かめることができたのがよかったです。帰港時に、息子は記念にUFOシャツを購入し満足気でした。

Excellent Experience!
Reviewed by: Leslie, 2011/08/16Guides fun and helpful. Snoring was great...lots of colorful fish. Kayaking was tiring and tough for a beginner, but it was doable. Wear water shoes and a waterproof camera and cash for a tip.

Kealakekua Bay Guided Kayak & Snorkeling Tour at the Captain Cook Monument
Peaceful
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2011/07/27Liked how this was in a bay...not in come choppy ocean with tons of waves and where I feel like I am having to fight just to stay upright...no way, this was nothing like that. It felt almost like I was back home at the lake and really peacefully just gliding through the waters.
And the bay itself is really pretty. Then the snorkel section of the trip was really fun too. To get in and see fish and wildlife I had never seen before was exciting.
Overall it was a really wonderful time in Hawaii and made a highlight of my vacation. Mahalo.

Hawaiian Canoe Surfing & Paddling Tour Adventure from Waikoloa - Hulakai
Great time
Reviewed by: Arnold, 2011/07/14The two guides who went with us are wonderful as they were concerned for our safety and comfort. It was a very calm sea the day went out so waves were few. They also showed us the sights of the bay and, since waves were few, they let us use their snorkel gear for a great snorkel experience.

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's
Good Times overall.
Reviewed by: Jessica, 2011/07/05The cave was a bit disappointing. It was so small that we only paddled in 3 feet and turned around.
We actually snorkeled in a bay with cliffs. You were able to climb up and jump off a 30 foot cliff.
They had great snacks up on the cliff: fresh pinapple, cookies, chocolate, cheese and drinks.
The staff was very laid back. We had 3 tour guides for our trip that seemed to not stress about anything. We had one couple in our group that paddled away from the main group and the staff didn't seem concerned about it.

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's
Fun Activity
Reviewed by: qbc1899, 2011/06/27The kayak/snorkeling adventure was a lot of fun. I was prepared to kayak, but it was still a LOT of work. In total, you end up kayaking for close to two hours. Then we snorkeled for close to an hour or more. Would NOT recommend if you cannot kayak for that long or if you have small kids that cannot help paddle. Just be prepared.
The guides were nice and kept pace in the front with the leaders and in the rear with the slowest of the group. No one was left behind, which was nice. However, at the front of the group, we did do a lot of waiting for others. We went to a few sea caves and then went to a spot to snorkel and have snacks. The snacks were nice, the fresh pineapple was the best by far!
I did not find anything unique about this tour though. I felt like the tour guides have given the same "WOW you guys seem adventerous, should we take them here....or not?" talk a thousand times. Was kind of corny. But the activity was exactly as described and both my husband and I

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2011/05/09The kayaking trip was good despite the weather. The waves were a little rough and we actually tipped over. Our guide was awesome! He answered all our questions and he stopped to help other people in need. Since the weather didnt cooperate, we werent able to snorkle. They are very understandable and refunded some of our mpney. We highly recommend this to anyone!

kayaking and snorkeling
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2011/04/17It was ok. The only problem I had with it was that the with the snorkeling portion we went to a place where they said theres a lot of fish and there werent, not colorful or of much variety. It was fun to jump off a cliff and go swimming. It was only worth the money because they gave unlimited snacks so you kind of got your moneys worth.

ハワイ島 パラセイリング ＜午前・午後／カイルアコナ発＞ by UFO Parasail
青空空中散歩
Reviewed by: いときち, 2010/11/24最初は低いほうで申し込んでいたのですが、いざ浮いてみたら「もっと上に行きたい！！」って思っていしまい、結局は240フィート？？までいっちゃいました。
事務所はわかりづらいので、タクシーの運転手さんが親切で良かったけどそうでないようならちょっと奥まった所に受付があるので頑張らないと見つかりません。
景色もきれいで上にいる間はほとんど無風の状態に近くて優雅です。
でもボートに乗ってる間はかなりかっ飛ばして走行しますので揺れます。酔う感じではないけど、結構激しい感じですよー。

Great fun!!
Reviewed by: Debbie, 2010/10/08I've never kayaked before and thought this was fun. It was a little windy on the day we went out but that didn't hinder us at all except when it came time to see the cave. Only one or two boats braved this part. Get ready to climb up some lava cliffs (about 4 feet high) and then jump back in too. Hadn't done anything like that in awhile but found it to be fun and refreshing. I sit at a desk all day so this was awesome for me. The snorkeling was beautiful as usual in Hawaii so no disappointment there. Overall we had a great time!

Kayaking in Keauhou
Reviewed by: jan, 2010/09/25This was one of the highlights of our trip to the Big Island! Our guides, Kevin and Noni, were wonderful with tidbits of history about the island! The kayaking was so much fun as well as the snorkeling. They fed the fish so we could see more fish as we were snorkeling. Kevin demonstrated the jumping off the cliff into the ocean and my daughter followed! It is well worth the reasonable fee for a great workout and exploration of what the Big Island has to offer! Thank you Kevin and Noni for making it such a great experience!

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's
Overall pretty good, but....
Reviewed by: Tim Evans, 2010/09/05Don't plan on going into this activity thinking you will be in your own kayak.
Oceans Kayaks, who provides the kayaks and tour guides, etc. DO NOT have sufficient amounts of single kayaks to appease their guests. We, as an adult family of four, were looking forward to going on this adventure in individual kayaks. My fiancee and I kayak often and my daughter also has taken to kayaking. We wanted singles and were never (especially when booking online) given the option of singles vs. doubles. When we arrived, we expressed our desire for singles and were brushed off by employees who did not want to think outside the box.
After much debate, we resigned ourselves to complete the activity and it was very enjoyable. We had great guides and we experienced quite a bit. We were hoping to snorkel a little longer, but we had a great time regardless.
We do recommend this activity, but only if you don't mind being forced to take doubles kayaks.

Great Experience!
Reviewed by: podunktx, 2010/08/25This was something that I had wanted to do for 20 years, but never really had the opportunity. The crew let the three of us (myself, a friend, and my teenage son) tandem altogether and we all just loved it. No need to worry at all, they put everyone at ease. This really let us have another beautiful vision of some of the Hawaiian Islands.

８歳の娘も参加したので大丈夫かな？と少々心配をしていたのですが、とても楽しく飛ぶことができました。海面に足とつけても大丈夫かと確認してくれたり、気使いもして頂けました。子供たちは大喜びで、またやりたい！と言っていました。他では８歳で参加できるパラセーリングは無いので、特にファミリーにはお勧めです。

Big Island SNUBA Diving Tour from Kona - Guided Beach SNUBA Dive [Closed]
Money could be better spent
Reviewed by: jayrayatuf, 2010/08/02For someone that had never been scuba diving this was the closest experience to scuba without getting certified. There were both good and bad parts to the experience. We went with another group and while they did snuba we did snorkel and vice versa. It was nice when doing the snuba because u could go down to things u couldn't when u were snorkeling. There were a few drawbacks together. First you and two other people share a single oxygen tank. So in that reguard your lucky if u get 30 mins under water. The second drawback is that you are hooked to the tank by your breathing tube. The tubes are constantly getting tangled around each other and you spend a good amount of time dealing with that. When there is something u want to see the tube prevents you from getting to it sometimes. The third drawback is the price. I think you are better off spending the little bit of extra money and getting certified. You will get more time under water and be able to go where u want without restrictions.
