This was such a breathtaking experience! Trevor and Diego were excellent captain and crew, with a great sense of humor too. They ensured I felt safe which was huge because I had never snorkeled before. I would recommend this company to anyone who asks, they provide everything you need including prescription goggles which was an amazing surprise. Diego also gave us manta ray facts as we were snorkeling and we loved it. The night began with a sunset boat ride, leading into the manta ray snorkel, and then a quick boat ride back to the harbor with snacks and hot cocoa. I will never forget this experience.

Staff was terrific at all levels; dock staff, wait staff, bar tenders, historian, musician, & Captain. Everyone was upbeat, personable, courteous, professional, and entertaining.
Food was excellent and the drinks were generous. The captain was very personable and entertaining. Mother-nature provided us with a pod of pilot whales to observe, while keeping a safe distance. Historian was fabulous, giving everyone a much better appreciation and respect for the Hawaiian culture. The music got everyone rocking and rolling with the motion of the boat. A great selection of songs that had the passengers engaged in song.
Can't say much more. We loved it, would do it again, and would highly recommend it to everyone. It was a 3 hour tour that was well worth it.

We had a blast and seeing the manta rays was amazing. We also saw a bristle worm, which was cool too. The team was fabulous and knowledgeable. We will do again next time we swing into Kona. We recommend this excursion 100%. You won’t be sorry. If you get seasick, take the anti nausea medicine first. It can be a bit harder on your stomach in the dark.

とにかく高速ボ-トのスピードが迫力満点!走行中は必死につかまってる状態でしたよ〜。海風が心地よく遊園地のアトラクション気分で楽しめました。英語ガイドだけでしたが不安はありませんでした。ひと味違うシュノ-ケリングツアーを求める方に是非おすすめします。

Overall impression: encompasses true Hawaiian culture. Staff: very friendly and helpful. Performers: Wonderful!
Food: Could use improvement, for the price of the entire experience, could be better
Advertise that the photos at the end cost money or please include it complementary in the package. Mahalo!

Incredible tour but our Tour guide, Anson really brought the island and the tour to life. Honestly enjoyed the tour to the max but we would pay to just hang out with Anson again. Lol. I'm sure all the guides are great and extremely courteous.
All the jokes we made he would rebuttal and be involved all while still maintaining his poise and professionalism. It's the little things guys and this tour has it all. Thank you From the bottom of our hearts.

We had a lot of fun on the tour Ridge was amazing and gave us a lot of good local history and knowledge. If he didn't know the answer to a question he found it out for us. We'd highly recommend this tour to anybody looking for a great day on the island.

広々とした牧場と青い空の中での乗馬はとても気持ちがよかったです。馬がとても賢いので、初心者の私達も楽しむことができました。
ガイドは若い女性二人で、馬に乗る姿がとてもかっこよかったです。高所のせいなの午後だったからなのか私達が参加した日は風が強く半袖では少し寒いと感じました。
集合場所は、行き方の補足説明(マイルマーカー「11」を過ぎて右側にでてくる『カフアランチ』の入り口からお入りください。)を意識しておかないとちょっとわかりにくいかな、と思いました。道路から敷地に入り、その先の駐車場の入口には簡易的な扉があり、自分で開けて入るスタイルだったので、「ここでいいのかなあ・・」とちょっと躊躇してしまいました。先着してた方々の車が止まっていなかったら引き返したかも、と思いました。
乗馬前の説明は英語のみですが、苦手な私でも意味はなんとなくわかりました。日本人観光客が多いのかもしれません。この時は10人中8人は日本人(日本人3家族と英語圏のカップルが1組)でした。
牧場なので平らなところばかりではなく、坂道があったり、牛が放牧されている直ぐ側を通ったりと自然を満喫できました。

Good tour! Aaron was our guide and he did a perfect job! I only wish the volcano was erupting so we could see more activity. The meals were good, the views were good and we learned a lot.

息子と体験しました。
英語での説明でしたが、ゆっくりはっきりわかりやすく話してくれるので不安なく問題なかったです。思った以上に風が強く、冷たいので、長袖を持っていった方がいいと思います。
会話も乗馬もとても楽しく、また参加したいです。

初めての乗馬且つ英語ガイドのみで少々不安でしたが、明るく親切なジャッキーさん達が優しくガイドしてくださいました。「立って」「蹴って」など日本語の単語も混ぜながら、かなりゆっくり英語で話してくれるので、とてもリラックスして楽しめました。
2時間半の乗馬はあっという間で、壮大な牧場と海を見下ろす景色は絶景です。ハワイ島に行ったら、必ず再訪したいです。

The boat crew went out of their way to make sure each and every one of us was taken care of and having a good time. The mantas were surreal. This is something everyone needs to experience!

No hate on other tour places and I def seen a few but the tour guides, the views and the experience is def #1 on this tour. I did a lot of extensive research and finalized this tour but it definitely exceeded my expectations. The views they take you on are incredible. I mean you will probably never see anything like it on any other tour. We actually seen another ATV tour on our ziplining adventure tour and I'm so glad I chose this one. Other tours are shorter and don't have the exciting adventure this one gives you. You are literally driving through a farm/valley/on the coast and then to a private water fall. You get fresh fruit picked off the trees guys its amazing Im telling you. If you are having trouble deciding I will decide for you THIS ONE IS IT! The tour guides gave us so much info, they were funny, gave us such a big history lesson and overall they just made this memorable. I wish i chose this company for my ziplining adventure as well. But you live and learn. Overall had a blast and def recommend. Also: Not to far from Kona and the views on the drive here are amazing.

1.5時間プランに参加しました。
乗馬と言ったら、これまで日本でほんの10分程度、それも係員付き添いのものしか経験したのことない、怖がりの15歳の娘ですが、このツアーは上機嫌で楽しみ、一人で乗れたことに自信もついたようです。
コハラコーストのすてきな景色と、目の前に広がるハワイアンブルーの空と海、その向こうにかすかに見えたマウイ島に大満足です。
車では入り口が少しわかりにくいので、google マップで確認しながら、行かれると良いと思います。

My partner and I went on this tour with Aaron. He was a fantastic tour guide, with lots of interesting tidbits about the history of the island and plenty of jokes. He also offered to take plenty of photos of us at all the stops. A huge thank you to him for remaining so cheerful and helpful after such a long day. If it was a long day for us, I can't imagine how long it was for him.
The tour was exactly what's stated in the description. We chose to do the tour in part because we weren't certain how to navigate Volcano National Park, and the tour offered highlights of the Park. After the tour though, I wish we had had more time on the island so we could explore Volcano National Park ourselves. Two hours wasn't nearly enough. If you're lucky (we unfortunately weren't), there will be lava at the Park. But don't worry, the volcanoes on Hawaii won't kill you, but bad tour guide jokes will (thank you for that one Aaron!).
Another highlight was Punalu'u Bake Shop. Try the pineapple malasadas: you won't regret it! I was initally hesitant because I'm not a fan of pineapple not in its raw form/juice, but the pineapple malasada was the best of those we ordered. I wish we got more. The passionfruit (lilikoi) and apple ones were also delicious.
After the bakery, we went to Punalu'u Black Sand Beach. It's absolutely lovely and a nice chance to see the endangered Hawaiian sea turtles up close. It's also very picturesque. Just don't get too close to the waves or you'll get very wet.
We finished the tour with stargazing.
Overall, I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a quick, yet interesting and surprisingly thorough, tour of the southern part of the Big Island. If/when we go back, we would book with Wasabi Tours again.

日本人は私たちだけで、話の内容はわからないものの、海外のツアーに参加している感覚もよかったです。
昼食は、BBQと書いてあったのですが、作り置きの冷えた小さなハンバーガーで、昼食も選んだ理由だったので、変わったのであれば、修正しておいてほしかったです。
ツアーは悪くなかったと思うのですが、コスパとしては、高いと思いました。

ハワイ島の乗馬は、以前から興味ありましたが、ビーチやキラウエアへの観光でタイミングが合いませんですたが、ようやく乗馬にTRYすることができました。
当日はコハラ牧場方面も非常に天気が良く最高な条件でした。
少し心配しましたが、日本語説明書もあり、全く問題ありませんでした。
まず、担当のスタッフからの説明があり、馬の乗馬姿勢、操作方法を聞いて、体型を見ながら馬さんを選んでランディング、それからはお馬さんにおまかせ。
非常に良くしつけられており、ほぼ全く問題なく乗馬初体験できました。1.5時間の体験コースでしたが、2時間ぐらいの乗馬となりました。
雄大な自然と最高な景色、ヤミツキになりそうです。
予約も旅行前から簡単にできました。
最高の時間をありがとうございました。
お客さんの中で怖くて泣いている小学生の男の子がいましたが、スタッフがつきっきりで乗馬されてましたが、全くトラブルなく乗馬できておりました。

二回目の体験になります。
一回目の時と同様、2.5時間のコースの間、素晴らしい景色と個性のある馬達とのツアーはとても楽しい時間でした。
ガイドの方は英語しか話されませんが、とてもはっきりと分かりやすく話してくれます。とてもフレンドリーで素敵な方々です。
乗馬初心者でこんなに長い時間のコースに参加できるなんて、日本ではなかなかできない経験だと思います。
馬の扱いについては冒頭説明を受けますが、馬達はとても賢くコースに慣れているので、彼らに任せておけば問題はないと思いました。
またお邪魔したいと思います。

This was a long tour, about 13 hours, and it was so informative and fun! Our guide Aaron was very safe, smart, and informative during our tour. We had a great time at the coffee plantation, black sands beach, a famous bakery, and at the volcano national park. Dinner was good and so was lunch they provided. We had a great and unforgettable time.

It was a once in a lifetime experience. The manta rays came right up to us and almost brushed up on us. It was so beautiful as well as seeing all the glowing plankton and other fish. the staff on the boat were friendly and informative. at the end they gave us hot chocolate and soup to warm us up. definitely recommend this company.

We had such a fantastic time with our family of 5 on this venture. The views were breathtaking and the horses were so well behaved. They knew what they were doing. The guides were very friendly and gave wonderful direction. My 9 year old son understood everything and all went smoothly. We took the most beautiful pictures up on the mountain and will frame them to remember this experience. Thank you so much.
