Great time! The snorkeling was beautiful and the guides were nice and laid back. If you get sea sick/motion sick easily don't kyack on the ocean.

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

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: tomomi

We chose this tour because of the Japanese guide. On the day of the tour, we were the only participants, so it felt like a private experience♪

Unfortunately, we didn't see any dolphins, but we had a lot of fun snorkeling! The pineapple we had afterward was incredibly delicious! One of my friends seemed to get seasick from kayaking, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to it. Also, it gets quite sunny, so having a hat, sunglasses, and a rash guard would be a good idea.

Despite feeling sick, my friend said kayaking was really fun and expressed a desire to join again.

The photo is of the guide diving. I couldn't help but take a picture because it looked so cool (^▽^;)

日本語のガイドさんということで、こちらのツアーに決めました。
当日は私たち1組だけの参加で、貸し切り状態♪

残念ながらイルカは見れませんでしたが、シュノーケルもできて楽しかったです♪
終わった後にいただいたパイナップルがすごく美味しかったです！
友達はカヤック酔いをしてしまったようで、乗り物酔いしやすい方は酔い止め必須かと。
あと、かなり焼けるので帽子、サングラス、ラッシュガード上下があった方がよさそうです。

友達は酔ったにもかかわらず、カヤックが相当楽しかったようで
ぜひまた参加したいと言っていました。

I had such a great time. The beautiful sea of Hawaii Island was so healing. Thank you, Kevin and Noni! I really appreciate your help.

On the day of our trip, the sea was rough after the hurricane, so we decided to cancel the underwater cave exploration for safety and to consider our stamina. Instead, we enjoyed kayaking and snorkeling. As soon as I dove into the water while snorkeling, I was thrilled to see a school of needlefish swimming right in front of me. The underwater world is truly a different realm. It was amazing to see a world that I had only ever seen on television right before my eyes.

At one point, my wife got seasick while kayaking, so we split into two groups for the second half: the men went back out to the open sea with Kevin, while the women had a lovely time with Noni. Although we couldn't do the cliff jump that we were looking forward to, Noni quickly came up with a plan to jump from the dock in the bay! Every time I look at the photos you sent, I vividly remember that moment, and my whole family had a truly satisfying time.

But I still want to go to the underwater cave, so I declare that I will participate again next time. Mahalo!

いやぁ～楽しかった。ハワイ島のきれいな海に癒されました。
ケビンさん ノニさんありがとう！お世話になりました。
当日はハリケーン一過で、海は荒れ模様でした。安全と私たちの体力を考慮して海中洞窟は
中止とし、カヤックとシュノーケリングで楽しみました。シュノーケリングでは海中に潜るやいなや、目の前にサヨリの群れが回遊しており、大興奮してしまいました。海の中は本当に別世界ですね。今までテレビの中でしか見たことの無かった世界が目の前に広がり感激でした。
途中、妻がカヤック酔いでダウンした為、後半は男性陣、女性陣に別れ、男性陣はケビンさんと再度大海原へ。最後までカヤックとシュノーケリングを楽しみました。女性陣はノニさんと女子会に花が咲いた様です。また、楽しみにしていたクリフジャンプも出来ませんでしたが、急遽ノニさんが機転を利かせてくれて湾の桟橋？からジャンプ！送っていただいた写真を見るたびに、鮮明に当時の様子が思い出され家族全員、本当に大満足の時間を過ごせました。
でも、やっぱり海中洞窟にも行きたいので、次回も参加します宣言をさせていただきます。Mahalo!

We participated with our sixth-grade child and as a couple. I was a bit anxious since I had only kayaked a few times for fun before, but our guides, Kevin and Noni, taught us patiently. Unlike the kayaks I had used before, this one had excellent straight-line stability, allowing us to enjoy kayaking safely and comfortably. At the snorkeling point, they provided various explanations about the waters of the Big Island, which were very informative. Unlike the seas in Japan, the untouched nature here allowed us to observe various marine life when we carefully looked underwater. There was a slight current, but Kevin supported us from the kayak while Noni assisted us from the water, so we felt secure enjoying snorkeling even with our child. Thank you very much. Since it was my first time kayaking, the two-hour experience was just the right amount of time, and I feel encouraged to join a longer tour next time.

ケアウホウ湾　シーカヤック＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞by オーシャンサファリ・カヤック

It was very disappointing (tears). とっても残念でした（涙）

Reviewed by: マッピー

The kayak experience that my child was really looking forward to. I had communicated that we are not fluent in English. Of course, being with an 8-year-old child... While I couldn't understand the explanations in English, it wasn't our first experience, so we understood how to paddle and participated. After the explanations, we started paddling, but after just a few dozen meters, our family fell behind. A person who seemed to be the leader came close and asked in English (You have to paddle a long distance, but are you okay?). Since it wasn't my child's first experience, I thought we could manage as we got used to it, and I repeated the words (try, challenge) several times, but perhaps they wanted us to turn back, as they wouldn't let us proceed. We decided to turn back. Then, as if they had been waiting, the staff was there and said, (Oh, your stomach hurts, poor thing). It was my first time on the Big Island, and I regretted visiting with a Honolulu mindset. I felt deceived because such things were not mentioned in the tour description, which left me with an unpleasant feeling. After that, I asked them to call a taxi, but they said something like (I don't know). However, an Asian person who seemed to have lived in Japan helped us and called a taxi for us. (That was lucky.) I am truly grateful to that Asian person. Thank you very much. I have more to say, but I don't think all tours are like this, and I was able to meet kind locals. An 8-year-old might not be able to handle it. However, I was disappointed that they didn't inform us from the beginning.

とても子供が楽しみにしていたカヤック。英語が堪能ではない事は伝えていました。もちろん、８歳の子供と一緒という事も…英語での説明はわからないですが、初体験ではなかったのでカヤックの漕ぎ方等、理解して参加していました。説明も終わり頑張ろうという事で漕ぎ始めて数十メートル漕いだ辺りで私たち家族だけ遅れがでました。リーダーらしき人が近くまできて、英語で（長い距離漕がないと行けないけれど、大丈夫ですか？）と聞かれました。子供も初めての体験ではないので慣れて行けばどうにかなるかと思い（トライ・チャレンジ）と言う言葉を何回か繰り返しましたが、戻って欲しかったのでしょうか、相手も進ませてくれません。等々、戻る事を決心して戻りました。すると、待っていたかというようにスタッフが待っていて、（おなかが痛いのね、可哀そうに）と言ってきました。ハワイ島は初めてで、ホノルル感覚で訪れたのも反省し、悔しかったのですが、ツアーの説明にこの様な事もあると書いてもいなかったし、だまされた感が残り嫌な気持ちになりました。その後、タクシーを呼んでくれるよう頼んでみたのですが、（わからない）ような事を言われました、しかし、日本に住んでいたらしいアジアの方が伝えてくれてタクシーを呼んで下さいました。（ラッキーでした）
本当にそのアジアの方には感謝です。ありがとうございました。他、書きたい事がありますが、このようなツアーばかりではないと思うし親切な現地の方ともしりあえました。８歳児は無理なのかもしれません。でも、初めから知らせてくれない対応には残念でした---。

It's a test of physical strength. 体力勝負

Reviewed by: aki

We participated as a family with no English skills at all. Therefore, we couldn't understand what was being explained and were just paddling the sea kayak.

I would recommend this to those who are fluent in English. The reason is that my high school son underestimated the sea kayak and signed up for a single kayak, but he ended up "exhausted" and couldn't keep up with the speed of the other participants, falling behind. At that time, the guide performed the amazing feat of towing my son's kayak.

It was a day that made me acutely aware of how much I wish I could speak English.

英語が全く出来ない家族での参加でした。よって、何を説明されているのかが理解出来ずに、只々、ｼｰｶﾔｯｸを漕いでいる状態でした。

英語の堪能な方にはお薦めしたいと思いました。
理由は高校生の息子がｼｰｶﾔｯｸを甘く見てsingleで申し込んだのですが、「疲れた果てた」為、他の参加者のｽﾋﾟｰﾄﾞについて行けず、一人遅れての状態となりました。
その際、ｶﾞｲﾄﾞの方が息子のｶﾔｯｸを牽引してくれるという離れ業を行って下さいました。

英語がしゃべれたらなぁ～と痛感した一日でした。

Fun Experience!

Reviewed by: COgirl

The Kayak and Snorkel Adventure was great! Our family of 5, including two 10 year olds and a 6 yr old, participated. It was a bit much for our kiddos to paddle the whole way so the majority of the work was on the parents. We were able to get a 3 person kayak for the 6 yr old, a 10 yr old, and a parent. Once we got to the snorkeling location it was fun to snorkel then get out and have fresh pineapple then jump off the cliff into the ocean! The guides were super friendly and very helpful. At times kayaks would fall behind the group and they always had someone who stayed with them just to make sure they were OK. There was never pressure to hurry up, etc. I am giving it a 4 vs. a 5 because we didn't see/go into any sea caves which was one thing we were looking forward to. I would recommend!

This was a great little kayak tour. The guides were absolutely awesome (don't remember their names). We were hoping to see a few more sea caves/lava tubes, and thought we might be able to go in them. We only got to take a look at one sea cave, and we just paddled up to it and looked. The snorkeling was good, and the cliff jump was awesome as well. Well worth the money!

Don't miss this adventure!

Reviewed by: KyLaura

Our kayaking trip was amazing! We were both first-timers, and our guide (Tori) did an excellent job explaining how to paddle, safety procedures, etc. if you're like me, you may be thinking, "You all say this is easy...but maybe you're just better at things than I am." Well, trust me: this is easy, fun, and wonderful. The trip was relaxing, and during the snorkeling part we saw lots of fish (yellow tang, parrot fish), an eel, and turtles. Once we got to the cliff and snack area, we also saw a mongoose! A note on the cliff: jump. Seriously, just do it. You will regret it if you don't.

In short, take this adventure! The staff are professional and friendly, and the activity itself is not to be missed. Thank you, Tori, for one of our favorite activities! You are awesome!

My husband and I both participated in this adventure. We are certified divers but didn't want to deal with equipment or renting gear. This was a good alternative. The reef is a very short swim from the shore. I immediately saw tangs, angels, eel, parrot fish, rock fish, and wrasse. Because the water was so shallow the colors were vibrant. The tour sold $20 underwater cameras and I was able to take pictures. Well worth the money.

Kayaking on the open sea

Reviewed by: Heather

I gave the adventure 5 stars, because I don't think it could have been any better and the guides were excellent.

That being said, I did not enjoy the adventure. The water was very rough and I had a very difficult time paddling and controlling the kayak. I have kayaked on lakes and rivers before without difficulty. In addition, because it was so rough, I got VERY sea-sick. That made the return trip nearly impossible. Since you are on your own, you have to muscle through it. As a result, my husband didn't enjoy it because he was worried about me.

Some suggestions, don't do this adventure if you get sea-sick. Another gentleman in the group was also throwing up, so it wasn't just me. In addition, unless you are in amazing physical condition, get a two person kayak. You can use your combined strength to get through the waves.
