Big Island Highlights Tour - Volcano, Waterfall, Black Sand Beach, Coffee & Wine

Great Great Great tour even better guide and hospitality.

Reviewed by: Mob_cali_breaks (IG), 2023/09/09

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.

Wonderful Tour

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.

ハワイ島 乗馬ツアー コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬! <午前・午後/英語ガイド>by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

最高でした

Reviewed by: sakusaku, 2023/09/05

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。

乗馬初体験

Reviewed by: HIRO, 2023/09/02

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。

Hawaii ATV Ride Tour at Kohala Coast - Sea to Mountain Off-Road Adventure

THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR TRIP!

Reviewed by: Ahmed Mizyed , 2023/09/02

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.

ハワイ島 乗馬ツアー コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬! <午前・午後/英語ガイド>by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

普段は怖がりの娘も楽しさ満喫

Reviewed by: haratomo, 2023/09/01

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。

Twilight Volcano Tour with Stargazing, Black Sand Beach & Coffee Farm

A lovely day around the southern part of the Big Island

Reviewed by: Sandrine, 2023/08/27

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.

ハワイ島 シュノーケルクルーズ SUP体験もできる充実ツアー!貸し切りプランあり<午前/朝食・昼食付き> by フラカイ号

昼食は簡素化しています

Reviewed by: ハワイ好き, 2023/08/26

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 乗馬ツアー コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬! <午前・午後/英語ガイド>by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

プライスレスな体験、最高です。 家族旅行で初めて乗馬しました。

Reviewed by: はちはちハワイ, 2023/08/26

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。

馬が個性豊かで楽しい

Reviewed by: りゅうのすけ, 2023/08/26

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。

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧 水~土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能<フライト100分/英語パイロット/ワイコロアヘリポート>

ヘリでハワイ島1周

Reviewed by: タコさん, 2023/08/25

料金が一人10万円超え、高いと思いながらの参加でしたが、日本語のパイロットのリクエストがかなってTosiさんがお出迎え安心しました。
イグアスの滝遊覧でもヘリに乗りましたが15分で2万8000円、今回のフライトは2時間半、単純計算で10倍とすると28万円。実際ワイコロアのヘリポートからヒロまで飛んで給油、燃料代もかかっています。何よりパイロットが日本語で説明、いろいろな質問にも明快に応えてくださり、火山の火口も迫力満点!渓谷の滝も素晴らしかったです。ハワイ島の成り立ちが良く分かり、絶対損はしません。余裕があれば滝に降りるコースもいいのでは… 2023,8,22参加

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour - Lava & Waterfalls Flight from Hilo

AMAZING flight!

Reviewed by: Yes to Hawaii, 2023/08/25

This was the BEST flight I've ever done on Big Island. The doors-off was the way to go. It was a 4-seater with only 3 of us on-board so we each got a window seat.

Tips:
-Bring/wear a windbreaker. It gets VERY chilly with the wind.
-Sunglasses are a must
-Cameras or cell phones for photos must have a wrist strap

ハワイ島 乗馬ツアー コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬! <午前・午後/英語ガイド>by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

ガイドさんがフレンドリーで乗り方の説明もわかりやすい

Reviewed by: Hawaiiあいす, 2023/08/24

どの馬もとてもおとなしく、美しく広大な牧場の乗馬は楽しかったです。
風が強いので暑くても途中から冷えてきますが、乗馬ジャケットを貸してくれるので腰に巻いておくと良いかと思います。ジャケットやウインドブレーカーは必ずガイドさんに一声かけて、ガイドさんが馬の手綱を握ってくれている状態で着脱します。
ガイドのジャッキーさんの乗り方の説明が、わかり易くゆっくりと丁寧な英語で話してくれたのでとても良かったです!おかげで、15才の子供も安全に楽しむことができました。私たちはちょっとlazyな(すぐに草を喰む)馬に乗りましたが、ガイドのブリジットさんのアドバイスのおかげで草を食べてばかりという事も無かったです。
貴重品類は基本的に車に置いてくるのが良いです。受付棟が見える少し手前が駐車スペースです。車に置くのが心配な場合には、受付の事務室でも預かってくれます。
乗っていた馬を降りたら、馬が頬ずりしてきて、とてもとてもかわいかったです! 素敵な体験をありがとう!また行きたいです。

I definitely recommend taking this tour. It’s very well paced so that you’re never stressed out or rushed, but never bored either. I loved learning Hawaiian history and fork lore expertly told by my tour guide Uncle Jim. I would request him if you can. The stops are great and it’s a really nice day trip.
