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。

Guides fun and helpful. Snoring was great...lots of colorful fish. Kayaking was tiring and tough for a beginner, but it was doable. Wear water shoes and a waterproof camera and cash for a tip.

I had a great time. I thought it would be rafting, but I stayed completely dry and had a comfortable ride. We set out with three boats, and thanks to the captain's unique judgment, we were able to explore various courses. Of course, at certain points, all three boats came together, so it felt safe. The guides communicated entirely in English, but printed materials in Japanese were distributed beforehand, so even if you're not good at conversation, you'll be fine. The boat's speed was full throttle, so it was quite fast. Moreover, with the rolling, it was thrilling. You might worry about seasickness, but while moving, you can feel the wind all over your body, so you completely forget about it. Still, for those who are anxious, taking medication beforehand would be perfect. I thought snorkeling would be the same no matter where you swim, but the underwater world in places without people was completely different. After swimming here, the ocean in Waikiki felt just like Japan's Enoshima, and I didn't feel like diving. Please make sure to enter the waters of Kealakekua Bay.
とても楽しかったです。ラフティングと思ってましたが、身体は全く濡れることなく、快適なライディングでした。3隻での出港となりましたが、キャプテンの独自の判断でいろんなコースを巡ることが出来ました。もちろん、ポイントポイントでは3隻そろうのですから安心です。ガイドは全て英語でなされますが、事前に日本語で書かれたプリントが配布されますので、会話が不得意でも大丈夫です。ボートの速度はアクセル全開なので相当速いです。しかも、ローリング付きなのでスリル満点です。船酔いの心配があるかもしれませんが、走行中は全身で風を感じることができるので完全に忘れてしまいます。それでも不安な人は薬を飲んでおけば完璧でしょう。シュノーケリングはどこで泳いでも変わらないと思っていましたが、人が入らないところの水中は全く別世界でした。ここで泳いだら、ワイキキの海は日本の江ノ島と同じで、潜る気にはなりません。ぜひともケアラケクア湾の海には入って下さい。

I never expected it to be so thrilling when we set off from the bay. The boat moved slowly at first, and I was excited to see dolphins up close. With the signal of "Okay, here we go~," the boat suddenly sped up, and I felt a moment of fear. However, after a while, we arrived at the snorkeling spot, and when I started swimming, I was overwhelmed by how beautiful it was. The depth was also astonishing. We had lunch together, and it was so much fun to communicate with people from other countries. It was the best activity! I want to recommend it to everyone!
湾から出発するときは、まさかあんなにスリルがあるとは思ってもいなかったです。途中まではゆっくりボートが進み、イルカがすぐ近くにいてテンションがあがりました。「じゃあいくよ~」の合図で猛スピードでボートが進み始めて、ほんとに一瞬恐怖を感じました。ですが、しばらく走ってシュノーケリングの場所まで着き、いざ泳いでみたらあまりにもキレイで感動しました。深さにも圧倒されました。みんなでのランチがあってわいわい楽しくほかの国の人ともコミュニケーションがとれたり、最高のアクティビティでした!みんなにお勧めしたいです!

A van takes you down to the valley floor where you are introduced to your horses. The ride takes you thru beautiful vegetation (mangos, avacados, bananas, taro and amazing flowers). You cross thru streams and see waterfalls streaming down into the valley. The riding itself is not very exciting. The horses walk at a leisurely pace. However the views are so worth it!

It's like a different world. The stargazing spot is also different from other tours, as it's in a completely dark area, making the night sky truly exceptional.

I participated with a friend.
As we got closer to the summit, the oxygen became thinner, and I started to feel anxious because I was out of breath even after just a little movement.
However, thanks to the staff's advice and the breaks we took along the way, I felt reassured and was able to participate comfortably.
The sunset and the starry sky were breathtaking, unlike anything I had ever seen before! I was especially moved by the beautiful colors of the sea of clouds during the sunset.
I was unsure about participating since I lack physical stamina and tend to get car sick, but now I’m glad I decided to join.
It will definitely be a lifelong memory.
I would love to participate again someday.

山頂に近ずくにつれ酸素が薄くなり、少し動いただけでも息があがってしまい不安になりました。

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.

ただ、崖からの飛び込みは要注意!!
軽~い気持ちでジャンプを希望した私たちでしたが・・・。
甘く見ていると痛い目にあいます。
高いところからの景色はとってもきれいだったのですが、いざ崖の上に立ってみると思ったより高く、飛び込むにはちょっと勇気が・・・。かなり真剣ジャンプですよ(笑)。
まっすぐに飛び込まないと痛い目にあいます。
私は、バランスを崩しおしりからドボ~ン!かなり痛かったです(涙)。
自信のある人のみチャレンジしてね!!
でも、総合的にはとっても楽しかったのでお勧めです☆

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.
Overall it was a really wonderful time in Hawaii and made a highlight of my vacation. Mahalo.

Hawaii is an island of the South Seas. It was a mystical experience that completely dispelled that image. The air at an altitude of 4,000 meters was crystal clear, and I was breathless at the majestic sight of nature untouched by human hands. The sun quickly set, and the colors of the sky changed vividly along with it, while the brilliance of the stars that filled the night sky afterward was an overwhelming sight that is hard to put into words. The guide who explained the constellations, stars, and the Milky Way under this natural planetarium, weaving in stories related to them, was truly wonderful. I want to go again to gaze at the autumn and winter skies.
ハワイは南国の島。とのイメージを完全に払拭される神秘の体験でした。標高4000メートルの空気は澄み切っていて、人の手の及ばない大自然の悠然とした姿に息をのみました。陽が見る見るうちに落ちていき、それと共に鮮やかに変化していく空の色も、その後夜空をぎっしり埋め尽くした星々の輝きも、言葉にし難い圧巻の光景でした。天然のプラネタリウムの下で星座や星、天の川など、それらにまつわる物語を交えて解説して下さったガイドさんも本当に素晴らしかったです。今度は秋冬の空を眺めに行きたいです。

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!

The two guides who went with us are wonderful as they were concerned for our safety and comfort. It was a very calm sea the day went out so waves were few. They also showed us the sights of the bay and, since waves were few, they let us use their snorkel gear for a great snorkel experience.

Snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay had very high visibility and was quite satisfying. In Hawaii, Hanauma Bay on Oahu is famous for snorkeling, and I have experienced it several times, but the visibility at Kealakekua Bay surpassed my experiences at Hanauma.
Ocean rafting is quite bumpy and fast, so it's almost impossible to wear a hat on the boat. Don't forget facial sunscreen. Especially after snorkeling, the sunscreen washes off, which can lead to serious sunburn.
ケアラケクア湾のシュノーケリング。透明度がとても高く満足のいくものでした。ハワイではオアフ島のハナウマ湾がシュノーケリングで有名で、何度か体験していますが、今回のケアラケクア湾の透明度はハナウマでの経験を上回るものでした。
オーシャンラフティングは揺れ・スピード共にかなりのモノなので、船上では帽子をかぶっていることがほとんど出来ません。顔の日焼け止めを忘れずに。特にシュノーケリング後は日焼け止めが落ちているので大変な事になります。

The sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea. The sun sinking into the sea of clouds was more beautiful than I imagined.
With the borrowed gear and over-pants, I hardly felt the cold.
After that, we descended to 3,900 meters for stargazing. The starry sky exceeded my expectations. Choosing a date close to the new moon was the right decision.
The guide's explanations were easy to understand, and I had downloaded a constellation app (Star Walk) on my iPhone, but it didn't see much use, which was a pleasant surprise.
Taking photos of the starry sky was quite challenging, but with a simple tripod and a compact digital camera that allowed manual shooting, I managed to capture some shots.
The round trip drive is a bit long, so it might be a challenge for those who are prone to motion sickness, but it's definitely worth the effort to prepare and take on the challenge.
マウナケア山頂からのサンセット。雲海に沈む夕日は想像以上の美しさ。
お借りしたウェアとオーバーパンツで寒さもあまり気にならず。
その後、高度3900mまで下っての星空観測。こちらも期待以上の最高の星空。
新月に近い日程を選んで正解でした。
ガイドの方の説明もわかりやすく、iPhoneに星座早見アプリ(Star Walk)を仕込んでいきましたが、あまり活躍せず、嬉しい誤算でした。
星空の写真撮影はなかなか難しかったのですが、簡単な三脚とマニュアル撮影が可能なコンパクトデジカメで、なんとか撮影が出来ました。
往復のドライブがちょっと長いので、車酔いに弱い方にはちょっと難点かもしれませんが、体長を整えてチャレンジする価値は高いです。

In addition to seeing the moving red lava, they also took us to a canyon that can only be accessed by helicopter, showcasing a world you can't see in everyday life.
You can witness the wonders of nature.
The pilot, Toshi, was a fun person and provided a lot of explanations, which was great.

When you live in the city, you rarely get to gaze at the starry sky. Given the season, "Tanabata" is one of the events for Japanese people, drawing attention to the night sky. However, it's also the rainy season, and it's rare to have clear weather in Japan.
So, off to the Big Island of Hawaii! A natural planetarium!
The starry sky at the summit of Mauna Kea was truly wonderful. I could see Saturn's rings clearly. To see both the Southern Cross and the North Star in the same night sky! I saw countless shooting stars. Thank you to our engaging guide, Mr. Yamamoto, for keeping us entertained with his witty storytelling.
It was a summit tour that felt like it was over in the blink of an eye. It's no wonder there are so many repeat visitors.

The cave was a bit disappointing. It was so small that we only paddled in 3 feet and turned around.
We actually snorkeled in a bay with cliffs. You were able to climb up and jump off a 30 foot cliff.
They had great snacks up on the cliff: fresh pinapple, cookies, chocolate, cheese and drinks.
The staff was very laid back. We had 3 tour guides for our trip that seemed to not stress about anything. We had one couple in our group that paddled away from the main group and the staff didn't seem concerned about it.

When I made the reservation, there were no reviews, so I was torn between the tour to Waipi'o Valley, but I wanted to cross the river, so I chose this company and participated with some anxiety. However, it exceeded my expectations in a good way, and I had a really enjoyable time. I could tell that the guide was trying to entertain us, and everyone, including quite a few Japanese participants, got excited together. We crossed multiple rivers and even encountered wild horses. I'm not sure if the guide was the only one, but I was able to understand more Japanese than I expected, and the explanation on how to ride the horses was clear. I had heard that there are many mosquitoes in Waipi'o, so I took a lot of precautions, but I didn't hear any mosquito sounds. The horses were beautiful, and even my somewhat fastidious self was fine with them. It was truly great. For those who are hesitant, I highly recommend it!

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

The weather was clear on the day of the tour, and I was really excited. It was a tour fitting for our 20th wedding anniversary. About five minutes after departure, we encountered a large group of dolphins, which was amazing! They seemed to be jumping around the boat as if they were waiting for us.
After arriving at the snorkeling point, we had lunchtime on the boat. I was a bit confused since it was my first time snorkeling, but with the staff's advice, I was able to enter the water with confidence. Underwater, it was mystical with coral reefs and schools of tropical fish. On the way back, we also encountered a whale, making the tour absolutely fantastic. Since the boat had no roof, make sure to take precautions against sunburn!

出発して5分位した所でイルカの大群に遭遇して感動!ツアーの船を待って居たかのように船の周りでジャンプを繰り返していました。
シュノーケリングポイントに到着後船上でランチタイム
初めてのシュノーケリングで戸惑いも有りましたがスタッフのアドバイスで安心して海に入ることが出来ました。
水中では珊瑚礁や熱帯魚の群れで神秘的でした。
帰りの道中クジラにも遭遇してツアーは最高でした。
船には屋根が無いので日焼け対策は万全に!
