Helicopter Circle Island Flights with Landing Option from Kona [Not Operating]

Highlight of the trip!

Reviewed by: Tracy O.

The helicopter ride was amazing! We took the Circle Island tour. Colin was our pilot and he was really informative and made it a really fun experience.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this activity to anyone.

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ（キングカメハメハホテル内）＜ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題／シェルレイ付＞

Enjoyable luau 楽しめるルアウ

Reviewed by: yamatosumomo

Three years ago, I attended a luau at a different hotel in the same area, but this one was better. The venue had various booths in a workshop format where you could take commemorative photos and lightly engage with Polynesian culture. There were henna stamps (though it probably wasn't henna, as it easily came off with wet wipes that night), toys like kendama, and board games. After experiencing the henna, we were guided to a table while enjoying free cocktails. We sat at a round table for eight with a group of four from England. The MC conducted the event in English that was generally understandable, even for us with just basic travel English.

However, the English spoken by the British guests was a bit difficult to understand, and there was a speaker right behind me, making conversation challenging. The luau had a nice size and a sense of unity. Since the audience was close to the stage, perhaps for safety reasons, the fire dance lost some of its intensity as the flames diminished while being twirled.

Still, both the male and female dancers delivered powerful and high-quality performances, and a three-member Hawaiian band entertained us with pleasant music during the opening and intermissions. Some comments mentioned that the event was long, and I agree it might not be suitable for children.

During the meal, they came around selling the photos taken at the beginning for $20. Being a tourist, I bought one generously, but I wished they had paid more attention to the background and composition. I forgot to reconfirm the reservation the day before and hurriedly called that morning, but it seemed there was no issue.

Participating on our last night in Hawaii was definitely the right choice. Next time, I want to study more so I can understand English better and visit again.

三年前に同じ地域の別ホテルのルアウに参加しましたが、それより良かった。開場し記念撮影と各種ポリネシアン文化に軽く触れられるワークショップ形式のブースがちらほら。ヘナのスタンプ(おそらくヘナではない、その夜に濡れティッシュで簡単に落ちた)、けん玉？のような遊具やボードゲームなど。ヘナだけ体験し、無料のカクテルを飲んでいるとテーブルへ案内されます。８名掛けの円卓に我々夫婦とイギリスから来たという４名のグループが同席。旅行英会話程度の我々でもだいたい理解できる英語でMCが進行してくれます。
同席のイギリス人の英語が分かりづらいのと私の真後ろにスピーカーがあったので会話に難儀しました。程よい広さで一体感のあるルアウ。客席が近いから安全性を重視するのか、ファイアーダンスは振り回しているうちに火が小さくなっていってやや迫力に欠けます。
それでも男女とも迫力と完成度高いダンスパフォーマンスに圧倒されますし、三人編成のハワイアンバンドが前座、幕間を程よい音楽で楽しませてくれます。他者のコメントで時間が長いとありましたが、確かにお子さん向けではないかな。
食事の途中、最初に撮影した写真を＄２０で売りに回ってきます。おのぼりさんですから気前良く買いましたが背景など構図をもっと気にしてほしかったです。前日のリコンファームを失念し当日朝に慌てて電話しましたが問題なかったようです。
ハワイ島最後の夜に参加して大正解でした。次回、もっと英語が聞き取れるよう勉強して再訪したいです。

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ（キングカメハメハホテル内）＜ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題／シェルレイ付＞

A show worth watching. 見応えのあるショー

Reviewed by: ころなり

I was able to see the dances of each island in the Pacific, learning about their similarities and differences. There were also efforts made to ensure participants enjoyed themselves, such as celebrating birthdays and cheering together.
The meals offered a considerable variety, and even taking small portions resulted in quite a large amount. As mentioned in previous experiences, the order in which you go to get food is determined by your seating, so it’s not an all-you-can-eat situation from the start time. It might have been tough waiting and getting hungry (laughs).
If you don’t have the opportunity to see traditional shows (or have never eaten traditional cuisine) during your stay, I think this is a great option.

太平洋の島々のそれぞれの踊りを見せてくれて、似たところ違うところを知ることが出来ました。参加者の誕生日を祝ったり、一緒に掛け声をかけたりなど参加者が楽しむための工夫もされています。
食事は結構な種類があり、少しずつ取ってもかなり大量になります。前の体験談にもあるように席によって食事をとりにいく順番が決まっていますので、スタート時刻から食べ放題と言う訳ではありません。待っている間におなかへってツラかったかな（笑）。
滞在中に伝統的なショーを見る機会がない（または伝統料理を食べたことがない）なら、いいとおもいます。

4.5-Hour Deluxe Kona Snorkel Tour & Dolphin Watch with Lunch - Body Glove Cruise

Body Glove Tour

Reviewed by: Stephany

It was a great snorkeling experience. They did a great job all around. Seeing Dolphins is a guarantee. They hang out just off the coast on the way to and from the snorkeling location. The food they served was great and included (breakfast/lunch). They provide some drinks for free with the food. Any smoothies or alcoholic drinks you must pay for and there is a bar on the boat for that. They provide rash gaurds, towels, fins, snorkels, various floatation devices (noodles, boards, etc...). I did start feeling a little sea sick and missed out the last 15 min of water time before we headed back. So I would recommend taking some Dramamine if you get motion sickness.

If you don't understand English... 英語がわからないと…

Reviewed by: はく☆

We used this for our honeymoon! We stayed at Hilton Waikoloa Village and also made reservations for a show.

We had booked premium seats, but after reading reviews, we learned that if you don't arrive early, you won't get good seats. So even though the meeting time was 5 PM, we arrived at 4:45 PM. We were guided to the very front of the long table, right in front of the stage. The seating is really based on the order of arrival. If you want to see up close, it's better to line up early!

They also guided us to the food quickly, so we were able to eat without waiting! However, since it was a buffet, if others who were not in the premium seats were still on their first round, it was hard to go back for seconds. So if you're a big eater, I think it's better to take two plates at once!

Drinks were ordered at the table, which was convenient! Most of the options were cocktails, and my husband only had Corona beer.

The narration for the show was all in English! If you don't understand English, you won't have any idea what they are talking about. It was really just for viewing. My husband didn't understand any English, so it felt like just watching the show for him.

ハネムーンで使用しました！ヒルトンワイコロアビレッジに宿泊し、ショーの予約もしました。
プレミアム席の予約をしていましたが、クチコミをみてその中で早めに行かないといい席にならないとのことだったので17時集合でしたが16:45には集合しました。長机の一番前、ステージ真ん前へ案内してもらいました。席の案内は本当に来た順です。真ん前でみたいのであれば早めに並んだ方がいいですよ！
料理も早めに案内してくれたので、待たず食べることができました！ただ、ビュッフェですが2回目を取りにいくには他の人がまだプレミアム席ではない人がまだ1回目だと全然取りにいけないので、ものすごく食べる方は2皿持っていった方がいいと思います！
ドリンクは席での注文なので楽でした！ほとんどカクテルばかりで旦那はコロナビールオンリーでした。
ショーのナレーションは全て英語！英語がわからないと何を話しているか全くわからず。本当に鑑賞のみです。旦那は英語が全くわからなかったので、ショーのみって感じでした。

Thank you very much for all your help this time. Thanks to you, the weather was great, and I was able to see the vast Big Island of Hawaii and the long-desired Kilauea Volcano from the sky. If I had to say, it would have been perfect to see a bit more volcanic activity, but I suppose we can't go against nature (laughs). However, I was satisfied as I could clearly see the lava flowing.

I was a bit concerned about the budget, but considering it as a once-in-a-lifetime memory, I don't think it was expensive at all.

このたびはいろいろお世話になりありがとうございました。おかげさまで天気もよく、広大なハワイ島と念願のキラウエア火山を空から観ることができました。敢えて言うならばもう少し活発な火山活動が観られたら最高でしたが、さすがに自然には逆らえませんね(苦笑)。でも溶岩が流れ出ている様子などはハッキリ見えたので満足しています。
予算的にはどうかなと思いましたが、一生の思い出と考えれば決して高くはないと思いますよ。

Last year, I couldn't fly due to two cancellations caused by the weather. This year, it was a success on the first try. This tour allows you to enjoy both the volcanic side and the canyon side of the Big Island, giving you a real sense of the richness of nature. This time, we were taken care of by a Japanese pilot named TOSHI, and I was very satisfied as I got to see wonderful scenery while listening to various stories. My 9-year-old child was with us, and TOSHI explained things in a way that was easy for the child to understand at various points, so it seems my child enjoyed it as well. The air conditioning inside the helicopter was well-functioning, making for a comfortable environment in short sleeves and shorts. I would love to do this again.

昨年、天候のせいで2回のキャンセルの結果、飛ぶことが出来ませんでした。

このツアーはハワイ島の火山サイドと渓谷サイドを両方楽しむことができ、自然の豊かさを実感できるツアーです。今回は日本人パイロットのTOSHIさんにお世話になりましたが、色々なお話を伺いながら素敵な景色を見られて大満足でした。9歳の子供も一緒でしたが、TOSHIさんが色々な場面で子供にもわかりやすく説明して下さり、子供も堪能していたようです。
