All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I have visited the Big Island of Hawaii many times, but this time I participated because my child turned 16. I was impressed by the beauty of the stars, the vastness of the sky, and its size. They took family photos for us, and since we were the only Japanese people there, they spoke to us not only in English but also in Japanese. During the star explanation, they divided us into English and Japanese groups with the same tour company (we ended up having a private experience), which made it very easy to understand, humorous, and enjoyable. I'm glad I participated.

Note: It’s colder than I expected.

何度もハワイ島に来ていますが、子どもが16歳になったため参加をしました。
星のきれいさ、空の広さ、大きさに感動しました。
写真をファミリーごとに撮ってくれたり、日本人が私たちだけだったため、英語だけでなく日本語でも話してくれたり、星の説明のときは同じツアー会社で英語組、日本語組に分かれてやっていただけたので（私たちは結局プライベート）とてもわかりやすく、ユーモアあっておもしろく、参加してよかったです。

補足　思った以上に寒いです。

Su-san's guidance and thoughtfulness were wonderful. The photos we received were truly impressive! What a great photographer! They were very beautiful.

This was our second time as a couple, and our first time bringing our son.

Since the moon rose before 10:00 PM, it didn't affect our experience at all, and we were able to see the Milky Way clearly. It became a great memory for our family.

The BLT was delicious too.

すーさんのガイドとお気遣いが素晴らしかった。
いただいた写真もさすが！フォトグラファー！！とても美しかったです。

夫婦にとっては2回目
息子を連れての初参加。

月が出るのが22:00前だったので何ら影響なく、天の川もはっきり見ることが出来ました。
家族のいい思い出になりました。

BLTも美味しかったです。

- crew was very helpful
- had a good evening boat ride with sunset view
- crew explained the instructions clearly
- great experience watching manta rays up close
- crew helped my kids getting into and out of water

The price is a bit steep, but since I came all the way to Hawaii, I decided to participate without hesitation.

In the end, I think I spent my money wisely!

First of all, riding in a helicopter is something I rarely get to do, and the experience of the helicopter's sway was incredibly valuable.

I was able to fully enjoy views that I couldn't see from the ground, and I am very satisfied.

If I had one point to mention, it would be that if you're not good at English, it might be safer to request a Japanese-speaking driver, even if it incurs some additional fees.

We understood some of what was being said on the English tour, but the explanations about history and local information while actually seeing the sights made a big difference in how much we absorbed.

料金は少し値をはりますが、ハワイまできたのでそこは思い切って参加してみました。

結果いいお金の使い方をしたと思っています！

まずヘリに乗ることなんてなかなかない中でヘリの揺れなんかも大変貴重な体験でした。

景色も地上からは見れない景色を存分に楽しめることが出来て満足しています。

一点だけあるとすると、やはり英語が苦手であれば多少追加料金はかかりますが、日本人の運転手にお願いしたほうが無難だと思います。

我々は英語のツアーで多少は言ってることがわかるものの、やはり歴史やその土地の情報なども実際に見ながら説明してくれるので吸収力が違うと思います。

Looking for a tour for yourself? Your family? This event has something for everyone. Myself & partner enjoyed the outing. The crew was fantastic! This is a family owned business which is what we wanted. They are professional, friendly, engaging & interactive with all age groups. We had a blast….and so will you! Check out this tour and support family owned businesses!
FYI: bring cash to tip the crew….they deserve & will appreciate it. If not, please ask how to tip digitally.

The shuttle driver spoke only English, but he was very kind. When we arrived at the harbor, there was a Japanese staff member (a woman), which made me feel at ease as I prepared. She also accompanied us on the activities, so I was a bit anxious about the night snorkeling, but I enjoyed it.

Most importantly, I was moved to see a manta ray up close, which I hadn't encountered the day before. It seems that this tour is the only one where you can see manta rays during night snorkeling, so I highly recommend it for anyone going to the Big Island. They provide wetsuits, so it's not cold at all.

送迎ドライバーは英語オンリーでしたがとても優しい方でした。
ハーバーに着くと日本人スタッフ（女性）がいて安心して準備ができました。その方がアクティビティーにも同行していたので、ナイトシュノーケリング少し不安でしたが楽しめました。
何より前日は現れなかったマンタに会えて、すごく近くで観られたことが感動でした。
ナイトシュノーケリングでマンタに会えるのはこちらのツアーだけらしいのでハワイ島行かれる方は是非参加することをおすすめします。
ウエットスーツ貸してもらえるのでぜんぜん寒くないです。

I participated with my child during spring break.

The road to Waipi'o Valley, known as Waipi'o Valley Road, is closed indefinitely due to safety measures against falling rocks. Since only locals can access the valley floor, we joined a tour♪

The view from the lookout point is breathtaking, but after seeing the wonderful scenery at the starting point, the road becomes terrifyingly narrow and winding. The vehicle is large, and the road is just barely wide enough. As we slowly made our way down, wild horses approached us, and they seemed very accustomed to people and cars, with everyone touching them and taking photos.

The river also flows swiftly as we drive, but I wonder how people live down in such a valley. It seems about 50 people live in the canyon, and we passed by them several times. They lead a self-sufficient life, growing taro and fishing—it's like a different world!

We were the only Japanese participants in the tour, and since it was an English guide, we could hardly understand the stories about the history, legends, and plants related to Waipi'o Valley, so we mostly just enjoyed the scenery^^; Everyone else was laughing and engaging with the guide, which was a bit disappointing for us.

春休みに子供と参加。

ワイピオ渓谷内への道であるワイピオバレーロードは、落石の危険性等への
安全対策として、無期限閉鎖。
現地の人しか谷底に行けないという事でツアーに参加♪

展望台からの景色は絶景なのですがスタート地点の素晴らしい景色を見たあとはもう絶望的に怖い道。車は大きいしギリギリの狭さ。くねくね道。
ゆっくり下まで降りていくと野生の馬がワラワラと寄ってきて
とても人や車に慣れてる感じでみんな触ったり写真を撮ってました。

川も車でぐんぐん進んできますが
こんな谷底でどうやって生活してくのか。
渓谷には約50人が暮らしているらしく何回かすれ違いました。
タロイモ栽培や漁師とか自給自足の生活で別世界！

ツアー参加者で日本人は私たちだけだったのと英語ガイドなので
ワイピオ渓谷にまつわる歴史や伝説、植物についてのお話などはほぼ
理解できず景色を見るだけ^^;
ガイドさんの話に盛り上がってみんな笑ったりしていたので
そこはちょっと残念でした。

what a great luau, especially when staying on resort nice and easy to wrap the night

Breathtaking views, I wish I could sleep under this view nightly, great vent and wont forget!

Our photos were nothing short of amazing. Thank you to the Epic team for this epic tour!!!!

Amazing experience! Lots of the island wrapped up in a day you can't go wrong.

This was a great experience for my family I clouding kids as young as 8. Bryce, Joe, Diego, and Tamae were so kind to the guests and very knowledgeable about the manta rays. We got a bonus of seeing a dolphin on our way to the snorkel site as well as a beautiful sunset. Mahalo!

We took the tour yesterday. It was a great experience which I can absolutely recommend. Worth mentioning is in particular the star gazing with the expert explanations of our guide.

I always appreciate Beltora's help. Just before starting the zip line, it started to rain, and I almost lost heart, but I enjoyed it immensely without worrying about the rain. The staff were very kind, and I was able to have a great time!

いつもベルトラさんにはお世話になっております。ジップラインはスタートする直前に雨が降り出し、心が折れそうになりましたが、雨など気にする事無く、めちゃくちゃ楽しめました。スタッフさんもとても親切で、楽しい時間を過ごす事が出来ました＼(^o^)／

If you're looking for an experience where you are cared for, entertained, and learn more about this island, look no further. It was a day full of sight-seeing, history, and stimulation. This company has put time into thinking of everything from bathroom breaks, food, and health/safety. As one of the oldest tour companies on the island, there's perks they get that others do not.

Completely worth every penny to make the memories of this day!

I liked how you start small for those who a less experienced and afraid of heights. Our guides were awesome in explaining everything and giving history of the area. The funniest part was when Angela hid behind some bushes and started making pig sounds, causing one of the participants to jump back! LOL! The guides really did a great job making it fun and relaxing my nerves.

We loved this tour! P.J., our Tour guide, loves his job, and that was obvious in his knowledge and enthusiasm. Comfortable shuttle. Great service. Good food. Great sights!

I was able to fulfill my dream of seeing the sunset and starry sky from Mauna Kea volcano. The explanations about the observatory and celestial bodies were very detailed, and I was able to take many photos. The sandwiches and cocoa provided along the way were very delicious and left a strong impression!

マウナケア火山からのサンセットと星空が見てみたい、という夢を叶えることが出来ました。天文台や天体の説明も詳しくして頂き、写真もたくさん撮って頂きました。
途中で提供されるサンドイッチとココアがとても美味しかったのが印象的でした！

Arriving shortly before 6:30 p.m., we were greeted with welcoming smiles and thank-yous for choosing them.

During the 30-minute boat ride to the manta ray sighting, the crew offered us snacks and beverages. Captain ?Louie? showed us a beautiful sunset while waiting to "anchor" until another boat saw a manta ray (we liked it that he wanted to give us the best chance of seeing manta rays). I was feeling a little seasick by then. Once the boat stopped, the crew gave us helpful instructions.

As we jumped into the water, the staff provided help to any who needed guidance to the lighted raft. Not being the best swimmer, I was one who Tamae kindly guided.

Minutes after setup, we saw our first of 6-7 manta rays for the evening. The manta rays were amazing, even though they chose to stay close to the bottom of the ocean that evening!

During the experience, the raft kept bumping my head and shifting my mask (another in my party had the same experience, so the crew should try to avoid giving the corner spot of the raft to anyone), so I had to hold onto the raft rope with one hand and prevent the raft from bumping my head with the other. The combination of the boat ride and the raft bumping caused my motion sickness to literally erupt. Diego and Tamae compassionately led me toward the boat. Diego comforted me, saying not to worry, at least one person each trip became ill. Because I started feeling better, I was able to return to the raft for the last 10 minutes.

Climbing up the ladder into the boat wasn't the easiest thing to do, but both the captain and crew were there to help.

The ride back was breezy but not too cold with a towel wrapped around our shoulders. I'm also glad there was a small bucket for me to use with my motion sickness.

The entire crew was fantastic, helping us all to experience watching the manta rays! Tamae also offered free actual video footage of our adventure.

Thanks for our memorable experience!

My family was mesmerized by the port holes! Great sights from the safety of the boat!

Before departure, I was informed that there was a 90% chance of encountering them and a 60% chance of getting close, but I was truly moved when I was able to get so close that it felt like I was about to bump into a manta ray.

出発前、出会える確率９０％、近くに来る確率６０％と案内されていましたが、なんとマンタにぶつかりそうなぐらい近くもできてくれて感動しました。

It was my first time sea kayaking, but thanks to the staff's care, I had a great time. The snack during the break was freshly cut pineapple, which was perfect for recharging my energy on the way back. This time, I was tandem with my wife, but I think I can go solo next time. It depends on the weather, but I believe it's a fun activity.

初めてのシーカヤックでしたが、スタッフのケアのおかげて、とても楽しめました。
休憩のスナックが切りたてのパイナップル
帰りのエネルギー充填バッチリでした
今回は、妻とタンデムでしたが、次回はシングルで行けそうです。
天候次第なところがあるとおもいますが、楽しいアクティビティだと思います。

This was our family’s first trip to Hawaii and we had an amazing time!! This was the perfect event to close out our stay here!! AMAZING!

We had the best time with the Wahine Charters crew. They were very kind and welcoming! 10/10 recommend!

We had a lovely time at the Luau. We were celebrating my sons & his friend graduation from High School.

A fantastic experience that I would recommend for anyone to experience.

Gorgeous courses with awesome guides, felt safe and had a blast!

Clear bottom viewing which is awesome, our family loved the experience.

Yummy food and evening full of entertainment! Perfect on a Hawaii getaway

We lucked out with dolphins, sea turtles and an amazing array of fish. The guides were great and answered all our questions while expertly navigating the reef to make sure we saw a ton of fish. I was skeptical initially, but sooooo worth it and a ball for all ages (1.5 -70+).
