I had a great time for three and a half hours at Mitchilli. I thought it was just a sea kayaking activity, but it included a lava rock bath, encounters with dolphins, and even a dive from a 7-meter cliff, which made it incredibly fun. The two staff members were warm and attentive, taking care of us and even sending us photos afterward. I had so much fun for this price! I want to do it again next time I come! Highly recommended! 🎶

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 the best experience! 最高の体験でした！

Reviewed by: Amor

This was my second time kayaking, but it was my first experience with sea kayaking. The weather was great, and the view of Hawaii Island from the sea was different from what you see from land. Paddling through the vast, deep blue ocean using only our own strength was a bit challenging for the two of us girls, but feeling the waves and wind made it a wonderful experience, reminding us that we are part of nature.

I communicated with the staff in English. However, they were very kind and spoke slowly with simple words or even in broken Japanese for my friend who doesn't speak English. While a typical tour aimed at Japanese tourists, which prioritizes safety and has everything planned out, might be nice, if you want to fully embrace the adventure on Hawaii Island, I absolutely recommend this!

If you plan to drive there yourself, I recommend checking the location in detail on Google Maps. The parking lot is a bit off the road and can be quite hard to find.

I definitely want to participate in more adventure-filled tours like this again!

カヤックは今回2回目でしたが、シーカヤックは初めての体験でした。
天気も良く、海からのハワイ島は陸から見るのとは違う景色でした。
真っ青などこまでも広い海を、船などではなく自分たちの力だけで漕いで行くのは女子二人ではちょっと大変でしたが、波や風を感じながら行くのは人間も自然の一部であるということを感じられて素晴らしい経験でした。
スタッフと私は英語での会話でした。でも英語ができない友人にはゆっくり簡単な単語や、カタコトでも日本語で話してくれますし、とっても親切に対応して頂きました。
よくある日本人向けのツアーのように全て決められて安全面など重視のツアーもいいかも知れませんが、せっかくのハワイ島。とことんアドベンチャーしてみたいなら絶対にオススメですっ！

ご自身で車を運転して行くなら、場所をgoogle mapなどで詳細まで調べて行くことをお勧めします。駐車場は道からちょっと入ったところなのですが、結構見つけにくいです。

ぜひまたこんなアドベンチャーいっぱいのツアーに参加してみたいです！

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

You'll want your own kayak! 自分のカヤックが欲しくなります！

Reviewed by: 松本

On September 17th, we participated as a family of three. First, we received a brief explanation on how to paddle a kayak, and then we quickly launched the kayaks into the sea, loaded with snorkeling gear and water, and set off. After practicing going straight and turning in the harbor for a bit, we headed out into the open ocean. It was quite refreshing to venture into the Pacific with such simple equipment.

Our son (first grader) was taken by the guide, while my wife and I shared one kayak. Although the two of us were paddling, the guide was definitely faster on his own, and it was a bit tiring for us as we used more unnecessary strength until we got used to it (laughs). However, we encountered dolphins along the way and took breaks when we visited caves, so we ended up kayaking a longer distance than we expected.

At the snorkeling point, there were many beautiful fish, and even the adults became quite absorbed in it. At the break point, we climbed onto the rocks and enjoyed some snacks and fruits.

There is a diving point on the rocks, but it's quite high, and I think it might be a bit scary even for men. I participated in a high-speed boat activity last year, but kayaking allows you to fully enjoy nature and is probably better for environmental conservation (laughs). If you haven't tried kayaking yet, I highly recommend giving it a shot. (It can be a bit tiring, but I think it's a moderate amount of exercise.)

9/17に親子3人で参加しました。最初にカヤックの漕ぎ方の説明を簡単にしてもらい、すぐにカヤックを海に入れ、シュノケール道具や水を積んで出発します。港で真っ直ぐ進んだり、曲がったりする練習をちょっとしてから大海原へ。あんなに簡単な装備で太平洋に飛び出すのはとても新鮮です。
息子（小1）はガイドの方に乗せてもらい、僕たち夫婦は2人で1つのカヤックに乗りました。大人2人で漕いでいましたが、やっぱりガイドの方1人の方が漕ぐのは早く、慣れないと余計な力を使う分ちょっと疲れます（笑）でも途中でイルカに遭遇したり、洞窟に行ったりしたときに休憩するので、思ったより長距離をカヤックで移動しました。
シュノーケリングポイントではとてもきれいな魚がたくさんいて大人もかなり夢中になってしまいました。また、休憩地点では岩場にあがり、スナックやフルーツを頂きました。
岩場には飛び込みするポイントがありますが、結構高く男性でもちょっと怖いんじゃないかと思います。
高速ボートのアクティビティに昨年参加しましたが、カヤックの方が自然を満喫でき、環境保護の為にも良いのではないでしょうか（笑）まだカヤックにチャレンジした事が無い方は一度お試しください。（ちょっと疲れますが、適度な運動量じゃないかと思います）

Reviewed by: Kuminha

I participated with my parents on September 8th. My parents, in their 70s, were a bit anxious at first, but under the guidance of Kevin and Noni, they started paddling the kayak with ease and even tried snorkeling (which was, of course, their first time!). They gained confidence from being able to venture out into the vast ocean on their own and felt energized the next day without any fatigue. I believe this was all thanks to the guidance and support of the two guides. It also seemed mentally easier for us that the tour was just the three of us, so we didn't have to worry about bothering others. After returning home, I've been showing off the photos to friends of the same age. It was the best way to show appreciation to my parents. If you are an older person considering participating, I definitely encourage you to give it a try!

あんな大海に自らの力で出て行ったこと、翌日に疲れも出ず元気だったことで自信をつけていました。
これもガイドお２人の指導とサポートのお陰だと思います。
ツアーが私達３人だけで他人に迷惑をかけなかったことも精神的に楽だったようです。
帰国後も写真を眺めては同年代の友人に自慢しています。最高の親孝行ができました。

I am very satisfied!! 大満足です!!

Reviewed by: hilo

On July 23, I participated with my two children. Since they are elementary school students, we were looking for a tour where Japanese was spoken, and we ended up here.

As everyone had said, Kevin and Noni were very kind and attentive, and they seemed very experienced in handling children. We enjoyed both kayaking and snorkeling.

Especially for snorkeling, it was the first time for my children to be in 6 to 7 meters deep water. At first, they looked very nervous, but within five minutes, they were floating on their own. I believe this was not only due to the clear sea, corals, and small fish, but also because of Kevin and Noni's excellent guidance.

Additionally, while regular beaches tend to have sand that stirs up and clouds the water, being near the lava coast meant there was none of that, and the visibility was great. Joining the tour was definitely the right choice.

When going as just a family, there can be various concerns, but with a tour, I felt reassured, so I would like to participate again.

7月23日に私と子供二人で参加しました。
子供たちは小学生なので日本語が通じるツアーを探していて、ここにたどり着きました。
参加してみると、皆さんの評判通りで、ケビンさんノニさんはとても親切丁寧で、子供たちの扱いにもとても慣れた感じで、カヤック、シュノーケリングともに楽しめました。
特にシュノーケリングは6m、7mの海の深さに初めてだった子供たちは、最初とても緊張した様子でしたが、5分も経たないうちに一人でプカプカしてました。
これも澄んだ海とサンゴと小魚たちはもちろんですが、ケビンさん、ノニさんの誘導が良かったのではと感じました。

また、普通の浜辺では砂が撒きあがって濁る傾向ですが、溶岩の海岸近くであればそれもなく、良く見えるとのことで、ツアーに参加して大正解でした。

家族だけで行くと、何かと不安ですが、ツアーだと安心できるので、また、参加したいと思います。

I participated in a tour on July 24, 2011. My husband and I had done kayaking once during our honeymoon in Cairns, but it was the first time for our children. We had Kevin, who speaks fluent Japanese and has lived in Japan for 30 years, and Noni, teaching us one-on-one, so we had no worries at all! When I thought the kids might be a little hesitant, Kevin was considerate and took their hands to change the experience into snorkeling, which they enjoyed. I appreciate the thoughtful attention, possibly from his experience in Japan. During break time, there were plenty of snacks and pineapple juice, so we were all full! This tour is enjoyable for beginners, repeat visitors, families, and friends alike! Also, even if you're a beginner in English conversation, Kevin is there to help. Our family has become repeat participants in this tour and we want to join again.

As someone who has visited Hawaii 30 times, I highly recommend it! If you read this comment, please consider joining!

My friend and I participated in an underwater cave exploration plan. On that day, there were only four participants: the two of us and one couple. The instructors were Kevin and his wife (who is Japanese), and both were fluent in Japanese, so there were no language barriers at all. They provided us with very attentive support.

After we set off, we found ourselves surrounded by a completely empty, deep blue sea. It felt like we had the ocean all to ourselves. It was a truly wonderful experience.

However, be careful when jumping off the cliffs! We had a light-hearted attitude about wanting to jump, but... if you underestimate it, you might end up in pain. The view from up high was beautiful, but standing on the edge of the cliff, it was higher than I expected, and it took a bit of courage to jump... It was a serious jump, for sure (laughs). If you don't jump straight in, you might get hurt. I lost my balance and landed on my rear—ouch! It really hurt (tears). Only those who are confident should give it a try!

Overall, it was a lot of fun, so I highly recommend it! Next time, I think I’ll participate without jumping.

Liked 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.

Relaxing~♪ のんびり～♪

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I chose this plan because I wanted to do both kayaking and snorkeling. It was a casual half-day course. Since it was my first time on the Big Island and I was moving around by rental car, I was a bit anxious about joining a tour without transportation included, but this was the only one with a Japanese-speaking guide.

Once we arrived at the meeting point without any issues, we received instructions on how to paddle a kayak and then headed out to sea. The guides were a couple, and both of them (the wife is Japanese) spoke fluent Japanese, so I felt completely at ease. I was satisfied that we could paddle for a long time. Although the snorkeling experience didn't have as many fish as I encountered in Palau, I was more than comforted by the personalities of the two guides, the color of the sea, and the surrounding scenery.

The kayaking was comfortable, and I was able to experience getting in and out of the kayak on the water for the first time. Since it was just the two of us participating this time (they usually accommodate small groups), it felt less like joining a tour and more like receiving warm hospitality from acquaintances, allowing us to have a very relaxing time. I highly recommend this tour!

Fun Activity

Reviewed by: qbc1899

The 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

It was truly amazing. The instructors were both Japanese and American, and they taught us kindly with great Japanese skills. It was my first time kayaking, and we paddled for a long time towards a cave. Entering the Dragon Cave felt like being inside a dragon's throat, with water gushing out from deep inside, which was really interesting. It was thrilling and absolutely fantastic.

After getting hyped up and anchoring the kayak, we went snorkeling next. There were so many fish, including some I had never seen before. Occasionally, there are also dolphins and mantas. I was moved by the beautiful sea in such a healing situation. I definitely want to recommend this to anyone looking to create great memories through activities.

Whales, sea turtles, and tropical fish. クジラと海がめと熱帯魚

Reviewed by: RYU

We signed up for a kayak tour in Japanese as a couple in our 50s. The owner and guide, Kevin, has a beautiful Japanese wife. Kevin used to be an English teacher in Japan, so he speaks Japanese well. His wife is said to be a former student of his.

Even if it's your first time kayaking, you'll be fine. You'll receive kind and thorough instruction, and then the two of them will guide you out to sea. With a stable sit-on-top kayak, there's no worry about capsizing, even for beginners. We could see whales spouting and raising their tails in the distance, and we also spotted sea turtles. There's a point where manta rays can appear, so it seems you might see them as well. We were told that if a large black shadow passes by, it's a manta ray, but we didn't see any that day.

The snorkeling revealed the beauty of the sea... Instead of going out on a big boat to see whales and dolphins, let's leisurely meet whales and sea turtles in a stable kayak. If you get better at paddling, they will guide you to even more amazing spots, so I think it's a good idea to sign up for two days.

Please experience the great nature that you can't enjoy on Oahu. It takes about 15 minutes and costs $20 by taxi from our hotel in Kona to the clubhouse.

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

A thrilling experience for the first time. 初めてのドキドキ体験

Reviewed by: A.S.

Riding a kayak was exciting for me, especially since I haven't had much experience with boats in Japan. It felt more like being on a board floating on the sea (though it was stable), which was a strange sensation. At first, I struggled with bumping into others and not being able to move forward smoothly, but as time passed, I was able to pick up speed.

The sea was very clear and beautiful. Paddling through it on a sea kayak felt like returning to nature, as if I had become one with it, and it was incredibly refreshing.

I was a bit nervous about the caves at first, but they were cool and interesting. Next time, I want to explore a larger cave with a kayak! ^^

カヤックに乗るのはもちろん、日本でもあまりボートとか乗ったことがないので、ドキドキでした。カヤックはボートというより、海の上に浮いている板に乗っているような感覚で（とはいえ、安定はしていましたが）、不思議な感覚でした。最初は他の人にぶつかったり、うまく前に進めなかったりと悪戦苦闘しましたが、時間が経つにつれ、スピードを上げることも出来ました。
海がとても澄んでいてきれいでした。その海をシーカヤックに乗って進むと、自然に帰ったような、自然と一体となったような、何ともいえず気持ちがよかったです。
洞窟も最初はちょっとドキドキしましたが、ちょっとひんやりして面白かったです。今度はもっと本格的な巨大洞窟をカヤックで探検してみたいです^^
