Oceanfront Royal Kona Resort Luau Voyagers of the Pacific Show - Dinner, Drinks & Fire Knife Dance
Great show at smaller venue
Activity Date: 2026/01/20 | Posted on: 2026/01/22

The food and show were both great. It seemed like a smaller venue than one we went to on Maui a few years ago, which was nice because there was less wait to get food and every seat had a great view of the show. Great for the kids, it wrapped up around 7:30pm. Fire dance was pretty cool as well.

Forrest was quite knowledgeable and so polite! I'm prone to motion sickness, but did not get nauseous at all in the van. Got to get out and walk along the water, pet and feed horses, and learn all about the history of the beautiful, Hawaiian valley. The gift shop was great, too, with very reasonably priced snacks and ice cream. Wonderful and memorable experience! Mahalo nui loa!

Waipio Shuttle - An Exceptional Guided Sightseeing Tour of Waipio Valley
Amazing must do experience!
Activity Date: 2025/09/24 | Posted on: 2025/10/06

This tour was one of my favorite things we did while on the Big Island! Initially, the plan was to just go to the Waipi'o Valley lookout. I am so glad we ended up deciding to take the tour. You're taken down into the valley (on an extremely steep road) in a 10ish seater van. I get really carsick and had no issues during the tour. Our wonderful guide, Forrest, informed us of the history of the valley and it's people. He was extremely informative and clearly cares so much about the valley and it's history. The views inside the valley were stunning! Do yourself a favor and book this tour.

Wear sandals and pants no longer than capris. Your feet and ankles will get wet.

Reply from activity provider

Aloha,
Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback about your Glass Bottom Boat Cruise. We're so happy to read that you and your family enjoyed the trip. And your tip to wear shorter pants and shoes that can get wet is spot on -- we board the boat via a ramp at the shoreline. Depending on ocean and wind conditions at the time of your cruise, you may get wet up to your knees accessing the ramp (though our crew is stationed at both the bottom and top of the ramp to help with those transitions).
We know there are a lot of activities to choose from when you're on the Big Island and we're honored you chose to join us onboard and that we've earned your recommendation.

ハワイ島 ジップライン体験9本 19以上の滝の上を滑走し大自然を満喫!滝での水泳アドベンチャー付き <英語インストラクター>
Thrilling!
スリル満点!
Activity Date: 2025/08/19 | Posted on: 2025/09/01

My first zipline experience! There were about ten participants, and at first, we received help from the instructor to put on the necessary gear like harnesses and helmets. After that, we took a van up to the starting point on the hill. Once we arrived, we received a briefing on safety precautions for ziplining and then descended the first zipline over grass to confirm our basic movements. From there, we continued at quite a speed over a valley with three waterfalls and above the river. We took breaks along the way for hydration and fruit, enjoying the thrill of eight ziplines, including the longest one over 600 meters. (Originally there were nine, but the eighth zipline was under maintenance, so we did a total of eight.) The speed and height were a bit scary at first, but by the end, I was able to enjoy the scenery. Some experienced adults and children even went upside down while zipping, having a great time.

初めてのジップライン体験!10人くらいの参加者で、最初はインストラクターに手伝ってもらいながらハーネス?やヘルメットなどの必要な装備を装着。そこからワゴン車に乗って丘の上の方にある出発点に連れられて行かれます。到着したらジップライン滑空時の注意事項などの説明を受け1本目の草地の上のジップラインを下り基本動作を確認。その先は三連滝のある渓谷の上や川の上を結構なスピードで続けて下って行きます。途中で水分補給やフルーツをいただいて休憩も取りつつ最も長いので600mを超える長さのものを含む8本のジップラインを爽快感を味わいながら下りました。(本来9本ながら8番目のジップラインがメンテナンス作業中だったため計8本に)スピード感、高さとも最初はちょっと怖いくらいでしたが、最後の方では景色を楽しむ余裕が出て来ました。慣れている大人や子どもの中には逆さまになって下る人たちもいて楽しんでいました。

インストラクターは全員英語しか話さないので多少は英語が話せないと注意事項を聞き逃すかも。ジップラインを下っている最中は膝を曲げる指示があったのをできておらず注意を受けました。
