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's interesting! おもしろいですよ!

Reviewed by: 海男

In the morning, I participated in the sea kayak cave exploration, and in the afternoon, I relaxed with shopping, at the beach, and by the hotel pool. I think the reason I had such a fulfilling day was that the morning tour was really great.

Once I got on the sea kayak, I felt like a local as I paddled out into the sea. The instructor was quite reliable and kindly guided us. The kayak was narrower and had a lower edge than boats in Japan, so it felt like I was sitting in the water. My wife was initially scared and was squealing, but she gradually got used to it.

The caves were mysterious, and the fact that you could only access them by kayak added to the sense of adventure, which was really fun. It was a wonderful experience.

その日は午前中はこのシーカヤックの海中洞窟探検に参加し、午後はショッピングやビーチやホテルのプールなどでゆっくり過ごしました。なかなか充実した気分で1日過ごせたのは、午前中のこのツアーがとてもよかったからだと思います。

シーカヤックに乗ると、現地の人になった気分で海に漕ぎ出ました。なかなか頼もしい指導員の方が親切にご指導して下さいました。
日本のボートよりも幅が狭く縁の高さが低いので海に座っている感覚でした。家内などは最初はこわがってきゃーきゃーと言っていましたが、だんだん慣れたようでした。

洞窟も神秘的で、カヤックでしか行けないというのが冒険心を煽られて楽しかったですね。
とてもいい体験ができました。

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

I was able to fully enjoy the ocean in Hawaii. ハワイの海を満喫できました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I thought it would be great to paddle a sea kayak myself, which feels very outdoorsy, so I joined the adventure. It was quite a good experience. Since sea kayaking is close to the water's surface, it was fun to glide along the ocean. I was a bit worried about what would happen if big waves came, but there were no such waves, and I was relieved when I safely reached the cave. The inside of the cave was wonderful too. They said the walls were pink, and they really were, beautiful indeed. Gliding through the cave in the kayak was a unique sensation. I also enjoyed snorkeling and diving into the beautiful sea. It was a lot of fun.

自分で体を動かしてシーカヤックを漕ぐというのが、アウトドアっぽくていいな~と思ってアドベンチャーに参加。なかなかよい体験でした。シーカヤックは海面に近いので、海の表面を進む感じで楽しかったです。大波が来たらどうしようとか思いましたが、そのような波もなく、無事に洞窟までたどり着いた時はほっとしました。洞窟の中もステキでした。ピンクの壁とあったけど、本当にピンクで、きれいでした。カヤックでゆらゆらと進む洞窟はまた格別の感覚でした。シュノーケリングで海に潜ったり、と海をきれいな海を満喫できました。とても楽しかったです。

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

I had a great time. 楽しめました

Reviewed by: JULY

I'm glad I participated. At first, balancing on the kayak was difficult, but I quickly became a pro-level paddler. When we went out to the middle of the ocean, I wondered if I would be okay, but the instructor frequently checked in on us, which was reassuring.

Paddling through the sea caves was an amazing experience. It felt strange to navigate through areas that could only be accessed by kayak, where there was no solid ground. It was a very interesting experience. The snorkeling afterward was also great; the water was clear, and tropical fish were swimming nearby, which was a lot of fun.

I'm really glad I took part in this.

参加して正解でした。カヤックも最初はバランスが難しかったけど、すぐにプロなみ(?)の漕ぎ手になれました^^
カヤックで海の真ん中まで行った時は少し大丈夫かなーっとも思いましたが、指導員の方がよく声をかけて下さったので、安心でした。
海中洞窟もカヤックで進むのは感動でした。足場がないところでカヤックでしか行けない中を進むのは不思議な感覚でした。とても面白い体験でした。その後のシュノーケリングも、海が透明ですぐ近くを熱帯魚が泳いでいて、とても楽しかったです。
参加してよかったと思います。

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

Kayaking in Keauhou

Reviewed by: jan

This 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!

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

I made great memories. いい思い出できました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I joined this tour because I wanted to entertain my children. Since I usually don't get to spend much time playing with them due to work, I thoroughly enjoyed communicating with them while kayaking together.

The feeling of paddling into the cave was indescribably exciting, and it sparked a sense of adventure within me. If possible, I would like to challenge myself with a more authentic cave experience next time (like progressing in complete darkness relying on headlamps). I felt like I returned to my childhood and became closer to my son. He even said, "Dad was the most excited" ^^;

I was also moved by how beautiful the sea was. I'm satisfied that I could show my children such a beautiful place.

子供達を楽しませたいと思い、このツアーに参加しました。普段は仕事でなかなか一緒に遊んであげることも少ないので、子供と一緒にカヤックに乗ってコミュニケーションを思い切り楽しみました。

洞窟の中にカヤックに乗って進む感覚は何ともいえず、ワクワクするものがあり、冒険心が湧き起こる気持ちがしました。出来れば今度はもっと本格的な洞窟(真っ暗な中をヘッドライトを頼りに進むとか)に挑みたい気もしました。童心にかえって、息子と仲良くなれた気もします。「パパが一番はしゃいでいた」と言われてしまいましたが^^;

海がきれいなのも感動でした。子供にもこんなきれいな場所を見せてあげることができて満足しています。

I'm glad I participated! 参加してよかったです!

Reviewed by: greenleaf

This tour had everything we wanted to do in Hawaii: enjoying the ocean, experiencing nature, and being active ourselves! The underwater cave was a bit nerve-wracking, but the ocean leading up to it was incredibly clear, and we could see all the way to the bottom while kayaking, which was breathtaking. It was my first time kayaking, and it felt great. It felt much closer to the ocean than being on a boat, and I wanted to take it home with me.

Exploring the cave was also refreshing; I had walked through caves in Japan before, but this was my first time moving over water. It was a bit scary, but it felt like a thrilling amusement park ride (of course, nothing scary actually came out).

It was also a great memory to bond with the other participants. If I ever go to Hawaii again, I would love to go kayaking again.

海を満喫したいのと、ハワイの自然を楽しみたいのと、自分達でも体を動かして体験したいのと、私たちが「ハワイでしたいこと」の全部を持っているツアーでした!海中洞窟はちょっとドキドキでしたが、そこに行くまでの海が透明度バツグンで、カヤックを操作しながらも底まで見えるので、感動でした。カヤック自体初めてでしたが、乗っていて気持ちよかったです。ボートよりももっと海に近い感じで、家に持って帰りたいくらいでした。
洞窟探検も、今まで日本の鍾乳洞など歩いて入ったことはあるけど、水の上を進むのは初めてだったので、とても新鮮でした。ちょっとこわかったけど、スリル満点の遊園地のアトラクションのようでした(もちろん、怖いものは何も出ませんでしたが)。
一緒に参加した人達とも和気藹々と盛り上がれたのもいい思い出です。今度ハワイに行くことがあったらまたカヤックには乗りたいです。

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

Overall pretty good, but....

Reviewed by: Tim Evans

Don'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.

Big Island SNUBA Diving Tour from Kona - Guided Beach SNUBA Dive [Closed]

Money could be better spent

Reviewed by: jayrayatuf

For 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.

Ocean Safari's Kayak

Reviewed by: Cheryl

We had a wonderful time on our Keauhou Sea Cave Kayak Adventure. Our main guide, Kevin, was wonderful. He was very concerned about our safety and enjoyment of the outing. We were able to kayak into a large sea cave before paddling over to our snorkeling destination. Many were adventurous and jumped off the 25 foot high cliff into the water, including my husband! One of our daughters and I snorkeled away from the main group a bit and I saw a few hundred yellow tang - more than I've ever seen before! There were many other kinds of fish there as well as Hawaii's state fish. Our oldest daughter had her snorkeling cut short when she got stung by a small jelly fish on the foot, as did one or two others in our tour, but that's a risk when in the ocean. Kevin and another Ocean Safari staff member who was there with his own tour both checked on our daughter after getting her back in the kayak. We had some snacks on the rocks near the tide pools before heading back to the kayaks for the

Kona Scuba Diving Adventure (from Honokohau Harbor)

Great dive for 1st timers

Reviewed by: Mike

Overall:
Had a great experience overall. Was excited to find a two tank discovery dive. One of dive areas had fish, but the number of fish was slightly disappointing after having been diving in the Caribbean.

Positives: Our dive crew was very friendly and helpful. Our instructor was the owner of the company, Lynn, which was nice. The boat operator was "Q" and he was friendly and did a good job. Overall both of the crew gave lots of good information about starting to scuba dive, tips on what we could do better, and what to do in the Kona area. Beautiful coral in our dive areas.

Negatives: Pricey! (But what do you expect in Hawaii?)

A group of eight of us, my wife and I, our 9 year old daughters, my sister and her husband, and my brother and his wife, went kayaking for the first time with Ocean Safari Kayaks, and we all agreed that is was one of the best activities of our whole trip. The staff, Mikey and Debbie, was very friendly, informative, and supportive and the locations we visited were awesome. Although not as leisurely as going on a snorkeling trip with a power boat or raft company, I'd say this trip gives you more of a sense of adventure. We were able to check out the Dragon's Throat Sea Cave, which was a bit intimidating, but with their guidance, were able to successfully enter. Then, came the snorkeling which was awesome, and most importantly the cliff dive. That is one experience I may never stop talking about. My brother, brother in law, and I all took the plunge, not to mention being upstaged by Mikey doing a spectacular backflip off the cliff. Anyway, I could go on and on about this, but its d
