Hosts are great, very friendly and shared historical information at sites along the way. We saw a mother and baby whale as well as hammerhead sharks on the trips to and from. The sea life at the snorkeling site were abundant and beautiful.
Highly recommend this tour above others.

出航して5分ほどで逢えました!
その後も続々とブロー・ブリーチング・テールスラップ・ペックスラップを見せてくれました。
距離はけっして近くなかったけれど、これだけ頻繁に“ダンス”を魅せてくれたので大満足です。
宿泊していたヒルトン・ワイコロアが運良く海側最突端の部屋でしたが、朝や昼に海を眺めていると遠くでブロー&ブリーチングをしている姿が見えます。
ツアーに参加したのは3月初旬でしたが、頻繁に出逢えるホエールウォッチングには最適・絶好の時期のようです。
好天に恵まれて、多少の波はありましたが心配していた船の揺れも少なく、快適な船の旅でした。

Omar was a remarkable, knowledgeable, and personable guide. He grew up in this sacred valley and his relatives still live there. This shuttle tour is the only way tourists can visit Wai'ipo Valley, which is an absolute must-see. So book your trip and ask for Omar as your guide!

We had an excellent guide. A safe driver! He knew exactly what to do when the transmission went out. He made sure we were all safe! I loved the knowledge he shared of the valley, people and history.
He was very personable and he made the tour very enjoyable.
My GPS didn't recognize some if the turns but we fumbled our way in!

ヘリコプターの初搭乗なこともありますが、エキサイティングでした。パイロットさんが日本語でも解説してくれたので、助かりました。まあ、火山活動なので仕方ないですが、キラウエアの赤い溶岩は見られませんでした。あと、滝への着陸ツアーではありませんが、見られると思っていたので少し残念です。
やはり助手席だったらと思います。グループ外の人がパイロット助手席に同乗した場合、その人の服装、振る舞いで、後席の人は快適性、外の見易さに影響アリです。ガイダンス通り暗めの服装をして欲しいです。

とにかく、イルカはかわいいです!
一緒に遊び、泳ぎ、エサやり。貴重な体験でした。
多少、英語が苦手でもチャレンジすべきです。なんとかなります。イルカを大事に思い、インストラクターの動作をよく見れば触って良いところがわかります。

In general, my family and I had a good experience. Dexter was a fantastic driver and tour guide.
The only thing we did not like is that we had to drop and pick-up people at the airport 3 times, I'd rather spend more time in the rainbow falls than going over and over to the airport.
Be prepare for cook weather, rain, slippery trails, etc.
Aloha and mahalo for your review!
We’re so glad to hear that you and your family had a good experience and that Dexter made a great impression as your driver and guide—he’ll be happy to hear your kind words!
We also appreciate your feedback about the multiple airport stops. We understand how this can affect the flow of the tour, and we’ll be sure to share your comments with our operations team as we continuously look for ways to improve our guest experience.
Thank you for choosing Polynesian Adventure, and we hope to welcome you back again for another island adventure!
Warmest aloha,

This tour was exactly what we were looking for...all details taken care of. All we had to do was get ourselves to the Kona Airprt. Our tour guide, Moana, met us at the airport in Honolulu and explained every step of the way...where and when to meet her for the next stop. All of the memorials were so special and we felt such gratitude to these soldiers who risked and gave their lives for us. The USS Missouri was especially impressive to us for its enormity and how she continues to serve our country as a representative of the great battleships that protected our country.
We especially recommend the tour if you are on another island, as they make your flight plans.

Waipio Valley was such a gorgeous find - rich with history and a unique ecological place. Highly recommend! We loved our tour guide, Seanery - so personable and knowledgeable! We were fortunate to have a smaller group in the van, which was a huge plus. :)
The road down is bumpy, but most seniors could probably handle since you mostly stay in the car.
