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 guide was of high quality. ハイクオリティーなガイドさんです

Reviewed by: mipo

All the guides are advanced Japanese speakers, so there's no need to worry at all if you can't speak any English. After a very clear explanation of how to kayak, paddle, and some precautions, we headed straight to the sea. It was incredibly refreshing.

Everyone else in my group felt a bit seasick, but as soon as we started snorkeling, it seemed to go away. The guide suggested that when you're not feeling well, it's better to get into the water, and once I did, I felt much better right away. I was amazed by the power of nature.

Moreover, guides Kevin and Noni were attentive to our condition and well-being, which made it easy to participate with peace of mind. I think even elderly people can manage this activity without any issues.

The pineapple we ate on the kayak was incredibly delicious. I thought I had never tasted such a delicious fruit before. They also prepared juice, tea, and muffins.

I thought it would be difficult to take photos on the water, but the guide took pictures for us and sent them to our PCs after we returned home, all for free. It was such a delightful service. I must say, the photos turned out great.

This tour is full of hospitality. I highly recommend participating!

ガイドさんは皆、上級の日本語話者なので、英語が全くしゃべれなくても、全く心配いりません。カヤックの乗り方、こぎ方、注意事項をとてもわかりやすい説明の後、早速海へ。
素晴らしく爽快な気分になれました。
私以外、一緒に行った人皆、少し船酔いぎみでしたが、シュノーケルを始めた途端、治ったようです。気分が優れないときは、海に入った方が良いとガイドさんに言われ、入ったら、すぐに良くなったみたいです。大自然の力ってすごいなと思いました。
それに、ガイドのケビンさんも、ノニさんも、こちらの体調や様子をよく見てくださっていて、安心して参加できました。
高齢者の方でも十分いけると思います。
カヤックの上で食べたパイナップルは、最高に美味しかったです。こんなに美味しい果物は食べたことないと思ったほどです。他にも、ジュースやお茶やマフィンなど用意してありました。
海の上ではなかなか写真を撮れないと思っていましたが、ガイドさんが、ちゃんと撮って帰国後、PCに送ってくださいます。もちろん、無料で。とってもうれしいサービスです。自分で言うのもなんですが、かっこよく撮れてました。
ホスピタリティー溢れるツアーです。ぜひ、参加してみてください。

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Would do again in a hearbeat!

Reviewed by: Liz G.

My granddaughter (14 yrs old) and I did this kayak snorkeling trip last month (July 27, 2012) and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! We had never kayaked before but had snorkled quite a few times over on Oahu. Our group of 11 included both experienced and novice kayakers. The guides (especially Brent) were helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and especially patient with us newbies. Water visibility was fantastic. We saw an abundance of different fish when we stopped to snorkel and were lucky enough to have a pod of dolphins come within 15 feet of us. That alone made the experience memorable. Water bottles were provided on the kayaks and when we stopped we snacked on drinks, chips and fresh delicious pineapple. I would strongly recommend wearing water shoes/sandals in order to be able to easily climb up to the lava cliff to make the jump. Would I do this snorkeling trip again? In a heartbeat!!!

We've been to Hawaii several times, but this is the first time we canoe surfed. This was such a fun activity, and since we purchased it on sale, the value was great! The men who guided us were so nice! They were so friendly and knowledgeable. Not only was it fun, but extremely interesting. They told us a lot of history about outrigger canoeing. The tour was supposed to be a half an hour, but lasted about an hour. Just a heads up you will paddle so there is a bit of exercise (nothing outlandish). Also, if you get sea sick you may want to take Dramamine, since you have to wait for waves just floating there. I would love to do this again!!

I experienced kayaking for the first time. At first, I was scared, but once I got the hang of it, it was really fun. I didn't realize how much arm strength it would require.

I was moved when I encountered dolphins along the way (twice!!). Since I had only seen them in aquariums, it was truly wonderful to see wild dolphins up close.

It was also my first time snorkeling, and I was amazed by the beauty of the ocean. I was thrilled to see beautiful fish up close.

Kevin and Noni were both very kind and gentle. They took a lot of photos for us since we didn't bring a camera, and they even shared the data with us. They were incredibly helpful until the very end. Thank you!

Great Views from the Water

Reviewed by: Missing Hawai'i All Ready

My family of 6 really enjoyed the kayak and snorkeling trip on the Big Island. The guides were extremely friendly, informative, and supportive. We had a couple of stops on the trip out, where we learned more about the island and its history. The snorkeling was great. It also provided a sense of how deep the water was, which made jumping off the cliff much easier. The guides provided plenty of refreshments, which made the trip back a little easier. Kayaking does require physical activity, so be prepared and drink water (which they will provide).

Felt like a tourist but I got to do things I never did before like jump off that high cliff and kayak on my own. It was a LOT of work for me. If you've never done it, go with a double kayak. It's a little easier. The sea caves were non-existent. We only got 2 feet near a small little opening in the rock. The snorkeling was good. I rated the trip 4 stars only because of our guide who was really understanding and encouraging when it came to handling the fact that my daughter's boyfriend could not swim. It was because of our guide, I think his name is Brent, that John became daring enough to snorkel off the kayak and get help getting onto the rocks where he was able to relax a little and enjoy the snacks. The jump off the cliff is scary but fun to brag about afterwards. It was worth it for the experience of paddling a kayak on the open ocean but thank heaven the water wasn't rough when we went!

Since it was just the two of us ladies participating, it had been decades since I last entered the ocean, and I was really worried about my physical stamina. However, once we joined, it turned out to be just us and the instructors, Kevin and Noni, so we could truly relax and float in the vast sea.

I was also concerned about my first experience with snorkeling, but somehow I managed to do it well and got to see beautiful fish. We took a lot of photos, which were sent to us via email.

It was truly a wonderful view and a fun experience, creating great memories. Additionally, I was relieved to spend time talking in Japanese with Kevin and Noni, as it was hard to communicate in Hawaii. Thank you very much! (^O^)／ (Participated on 2012/5/13)

Early morning tour participation☆ 早朝ツアー参加☆

During our 3-night, 5-day trip to Hawaii, we found and participated in this early morning tour (a sea kayaking and snorkeling tour) despite our limited time.

Since there were only the two of us participating, it was our first time sea kayaking, but it was great that we could go at our own pace.

I can't swim, so I was scared of snorkeling even with a life jacket, but thanks to Kevin holding my hand and guiding me, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind.

Both Kevin and Noni were very considerate, always keeping an eye on us during the tour, which made for a pleasant experience. If I have the chance to go to the Big Island again, I would like to try the cave tour next time.

Thank you very much.

Reviewed by: こうじ

I participated in the early morning plan because I was scheduled to join another optional tour in the afternoon.

Since I was staying at the Sheraton Hotel, it was easy to reach the meeting point in front of the hotel sign in just 2-3 minutes on foot. When I arrived, the guide Kevin was already waiting for us and greeted us warmly. When my friend was a bit late and tried to run, Kevin showed a thoughtful concern typical of Japanese people, saying, "Don't run! It's okay."

I learned that he had lived in Japan for over 20 years, and throughout the activity, I felt that his humility and kind, polite demeanor were even more Japanese than many Japanese people. The other guide, Noni, I believe is Japanese as well, and both of them can speak Japanese, so those who are worried about their English can participate with peace of mind!

This was my first experience with kayaking and snorkeling, and my friend had only tried it once before, so we were both beginners. After receiving a simple explanation, we quickly headed out to sea for a bit of practice before setting off! At first, I was a bit tense, but with constant advice from the guides, I gradually got used to it and was able to paddle along comfortably and enjoyably.

When we reached the snorkeling point, after a brief explanation of the snorkels, masks, and fins, we started snorkeling! When my friend was scared, Kevin took her hand and swam with her, and we both had a great time. It was fun to see schools of beautiful yellow fish, but since I have poor eyesight and usually wear glasses, I thought it would be nice to have a mask (goggles?) for people with bad vision, but I still enjoyed it thoroughly!

Both guides answered our questions and made it easy to enjoy casual conversations. Kevin's love for nature and gentle personality really shone through, while Noni was calm and composed, providing solid support, which left a strong impression on me.

While the content of the activities is important, the wonderful personalities of the two guides allowed us to spend a relaxing and healing time. If I come back to the Big Island, I definitely want to participate in their activities again.

I highly recommend it to everyone!!

　話を聞くと日本に２０数年住まわれていたそうで腰の低さや親切丁寧な対応は日本人よりも日本人らしい人だなとアクティビティ中終始感じました。
　もう１人のガイドのノニさんは日本人だと思いますが、お二人とも日本語が話せるので英語に不安のある方も安心して参加することが出来ます！

　シュノーケルのポイントに着くとシュノーケルやマスク、フィンの説明後、いざシュノーケル開始！彼女が怖がっているとケビンさんが手を取って一緒に泳いでくれ、二人とも楽しむことができました。黄色いきれいな魚の群れが見れたりして楽しかったのですが、私は視力が悪く普段はメガネをかけているので目が悪い人用のマスク（ゴーグル？）があれば良いなと思いましたが、それでも十分楽しむことが出来ました！

　ガイドのお二人はこちらの質問にも色々答えてくれたりで気楽に会話も楽しむことができ、ケビンさんの自然が大好きでやさしい人柄が伝わってきたり、ノニさんは穏やかで落ちついていてしっかりとサポートしている姿が印象的でした。

　アクティビティの内容も大事ですが、ガイドお二人の人柄が素晴らしく、ゆったりと癒しの時間を過ごすことが出来ました。またハワイ島に来ることがあったら、お二人のアクティビティに必ず参加したいと思います。

Greedy Plan - Keauhou Bay 欲張りプラン　ケアウホウベイ

Reviewed by: K Koyanagi

After reading the reviews, I signed up for the early morning tour, but since the schedule didn't work out, I couldn't give up and rebooked for the afternoon through HIS after arriving on-site.

I wanted to explore the underwater caves, so I opted for the ambitious plan (kayaking/snorkeling/stand-up paddleboarding) at Keauhou Bay.

I thought it would be a group activity with multiple participants, but it turned out to be just the two of us. They mentioned that they used to have larger groups for tours, but due to the difficulty in keeping an eye on everyone and the waiting times that reduced the actual activity time, they now prefer smaller groups.

I was quite anxious about the ocean activities since I can hardly swim and was worried about the language barrier, but Noni, who has an Asian appearance (possibly of Japanese descent?), spoke Japanese, and Kevin was also fluent in Japanese, which put me at ease.

There were four of us in total: the guide Kevin (male), Noni (female), and the two of us, each in our own kayak (one for the guide team and one for us).

Even though we usually don't exercise at all (a man in his late 40s and a woman in her late 30s), we had a great time.

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy that day, but we monopolized the Pacific Ocean while kayaking. During snorkeling, I used my life jacket as a kickboard and enjoyed the underwater scenery without realizing how much time had passed until I was called back. Honestly, I had no expectations for the stand-up paddleboarding, but it turned out to be surprisingly fun. (My companion encountered a sea turtle just as they lost their balance and fell in!)

The two hours flew by. It might not be enough for those who want to take their time with each activity, but I highly recommend it for anyone looking to experience some fun in the ocean.

ガイドのケビンさん（男性）とノニさん（女性）と４人で２艘のカヤック（ガイドチームと私たちで１艘ずつ）。

当日はあいにくの曇天でしたが、カヤックで太平洋独り占め、
シュノーケルではライフジャケットをビート板代わりにして、呼ばれるまで気づかず、海の様子を楽しみました。
スタンドアップパドルボードは正直全く期待してなかったのですが、やってみたら意外と楽しくて、

I would go into the Manta Ray dive but the other reviews are right on the money with the description. The only thing I would add is that we saw more Mantas than 28, I think they said there were about 40, but I don't know how they can tell when the water is so filled with them and they are doing that awesome dance above our heads. I have done some really cool dives all over the world and this is a really unique experience and should not be missed if you are on the Big Island.

I wanted to also re-assert how awesome this dive company was, and specifically Colin and Janine. I have paid big money to go on live aboard trips in the Caribbean and Thailand, Mexico and Hawaii, and the professionalism of the crew, the boat, and the care given to the divers was above and beyond anything I would have expected. They have a first class boat and they don't get greedy and over crowd the vessel, and the snacks were great too. And best of all they made this whole thing a lot of fun with humor

I was assisted by a very kind person named Kevin, who is fluent in Japanese. We started our adventure from the port near the Sheraton Hotel, setting off on a sea kayak. After about 30 minutes, we arrived at a cave known as "Dragon's Throat," where an impressive sight awaited us. Next, we went to a spot with a water depth of about 5 to 8 meters, filled with coral and many fish, and began snorkeling. We were able to see fish, and on that day, we even spotted a sea turtle! Additionally, we could jump off the rocks, lie down on warm lava rock formations, and enjoy some light snacks that were prepared for us. The chilled pineapple was delicious! If you are prone to seasickness, I recommend taking medication beforehand.

ケビンさんという日本語の大変上手で優しい方が担当してくれました。最初はシェラントンホテルの傍にある港からシーカヤックで出発。３０分程度で竜の喉？と呼ばれる洞窟に到着し、この中は大迫力の光景が広がっています．次に水深5~8mくらいある珊瑚と魚がたくさんいるスポットに行き、シュノーケリング開始．魚を見たり、この日はウミガメも見る事が出来ました！他にも岩場から飛び込んだり、温かい溶岩の岩盤に寝転んだり、軽食を準備してくれているので食事したりできます．冷えたパイナップル美味しかった！海なので酔いやすい方は薬を飲んでおくのがオススメします．

You can enjoy it precisely because you paddle on your own! 自力で漕ぐからこそ楽しめる！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

After the tour ended, I realized that it wasn't an exploration through caves, but overall, it was very good.

Even as a beginner, when two people cooperate rhythmically in the kayak, we made great progress, and being close to the water made the blue of the sea stand out beautifully. At the snorkeling point, the waves were calm, and we could see colorful fish, plus we jumped off the cliffs!!! I really enjoyed playing in the sea.

For those planning to participate, I recommend:
- Wearing sandals that won’t come off for resting on the rocks.
- Taking sun protection measures is necessary. I suggest applying UV cream before heading back or wearing UV clothing. My feet got particularly sunburned.

The friendly service and enjoyable conversations were also memorable.

ツアーが終了してから、シーケーブとは？っと洞窟をくぐる探検ではなかったことに気づいたのですが、トータルの内容としてはとてもよかったです。

カヤックは初心者でも2人リズム良く協力すると、ぐんぐん進み、海面から近いこともあり海の青さが際立ち本当に綺麗でした。
スノーケルポイントでは、波は穏やかで色とりどりの魚を見る事ができ、絶壁からジャンプ！！！
海遊びを満喫しました。

参加を予定している方へのアドバイスとしては、
・岩の上で休憩のため、脱げないサンダルを履いていくのがおススメです。
・日焼け対策が必要です。
　帰り前にもUVクリームを塗るか、上下UVウェアの着用をおススメします。足が特に焼けました。

親切な対応と楽しい会話も想い出の一つです。

I have to say, the staff was fantastic. We came as a family - 2 adults and one 12-year old. One of us adults (me) got motion sickness on this trip. My 12 year old had to bear the brunt of the paddling as we were sharing a kayak. I was dreading the trip back from our snorkeling stop. The guides could see that we were struggling (because of my nausea and the high seas) and they tethered us to their kayak and helped us in. We continued to work our paddles but I think we might still be on the water today if it weren't for their help. My husband was in a single kayak and he did fantastic and had a great time. We certainly cannot blame anyone for my sea sickness except me but the staff was very nice about it and extremely helpful. Thanks guys for all of your help!

It was a compact tour of kayaking, snorkeling, cliff diving and sea-cave watching, though the weather didn't allow sea-cave exploration on that day. The overall experience was worthwhile for a first-timer. The tour made it much easier for route guidance, picking up kayaking tips, tying up kayaks when snorkeling and quick onshore energy supplement. It might be a little demanding physically for individual rowers. Yet the staff were very experienced, helpful (and encouraging for beginners).

My brother went on to see the caves in his single kayak. We were told that the activity would be over at noon but my brother came back at 11 a.m. We had to wait around til noon for our ride which was also a little disappointing.

The meeting spot was Kevin. When I greeted him with "Hello," he responded with "Konnichiwa!"—he's a guide fluent in Japanese. In fact, he's been living in Japan for 25 years! From the meeting point, it was a 3-minute walk to the departure location, where we learned how to paddle a sea kayak before setting off. After paddling for about 30 to 45 minutes in Keauhou Bay, we snorkeled in a spot where we could see down to about 10 meters deep. When we got tired of snorkeling, we climbed up on some rocks for snack time. It was a very Hawaiian Island activity, and I was quite satisfied. A hat is essential for sun protection.

待ち合わせ場所にやってきたのはケビンさん。ハローと声をかけると、こんにちは！と返してくる日本語堪能なガイドさんです。というより日本に２５年？も住んでいたのですからたいしたものです。待ち合わせ場所から出発地点までは徒歩３分でシーカヤックの漕ぎ方を教わってから即出発。ケアウホウ湾を３０分~４５分ほど漕ぐと水深１０ｍぐらまで見える場所でスノーケリング。スノーケリングに疲れたら岩の上に登りスナックタイム。すごくハワイ島らしいアクティビティーで満足でした。日焼け対策に帽子は必須です。

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 interesting. おもしろかったです

It was my first time kayaking, and I enjoyed it thanks to the gentle and easy-to-understand instructions.

During the snorkeling and snack time on land, I felt the warmth of Kevin and Noni's personalities, which was very soothing.

It would have been perfect if dolphins or whales had shown up.

初めてのカヤックでしたが、やさしくわかりやすくおしえていただき、楽しみました。

途中のシュノーケリングや上陸してのおやつタイム中もケビンさん、ノニさんのお人柄が伝わり、癒されました。

　イルカやクジラが出てくれたら言うことなしです。

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Sea cave

Reviewed by: susan

This was reccommended for all levels. I do not agree. We had several children who were not able to paddle and it made it very hard for the adult in that boat. My parents are in their seventies, the guides were nice enough to pull them. The tour was great my family was not the type of customer that needed to be on this tour. We were allowed out of the kayak to snorkle, a very nice spot, but we had to climb on rocks to take a break. The sea cave was neat but not exactly what I was expecting. We ahd to ask to jump off the cliffs - I am not sure they usually do that although it is in the description. The dolphin and whales were no where to be seen. think there are better snorkling tours available unless you are strong and love to kayak.
However the staff and company was great.

I participated in this for my honeymoon. It was my first time trying kayaking and snorkeling, but I was able to do it after a brief lecture before departure. I'm not good with water to the point where I can't even put my face in, but I swam in the sea for the first time while snorkeling. I saw many tropical fish. The fruit during the break was also incredibly delicious.

新婚旅行で参加しました。カヤック、シュノーケルとも初挑戦でしたが、出発前の簡単なレクチャーで乗れました。
顔もつけられないほど水が苦手ですが、シュノーケルで初めて海で泳ぐことがました。たくさんの熱帯魚が見られましたよ。休憩のフルーツも最高においしかったです。

This was the most fun we had in Hawaii! We snorkeled and jumped off a 20' plus cliff! While snorkeling, about 100 spinner dolphins decided to join us and got close enough some people could touch them! Absolutely awesome!
