Big Island
We had an outstanding tour with Forest. He was incredibly knowledgeable about this amazing valley. The entire experience was well worth the cost!
Great fun and experience. The crew were exceptional. They were very professional and knowledgeable.

We had a wonderful time at the luau, met nice people at our table as well. Was a little disappointed with the food as I was expecting a more traditionally cooked food. The entertainment was first class.
Overall we had a wonderful time and would do it again.
Enrich your life by learning sustainability by a local resident living in the valley of the kings. The all terrain vehicle takes you steeply down to the valley to your taro fields and exotic tropical homesteads that only locals reside. This experience is a must!
My husband, who experienced snorkeling for the first time, ranked the experience at Kealakekua Bay as the most enjoyable activity. Although he wasn't confident in swimming, he was able to borrow a float and easily swim to see the fish. It was great that there was no stress involved. I enjoyed diving from the second floor of the boat. Even though it was a jump into the sea from a height of 5 meters, it required courage. It became a wonderful memory for our sixtieth wedding anniversary trip. Thank you for your hospitality.
シュノーケリング初体験の主人が楽しかったアクティビティとして今回のケアラケクア湾の体験を一番にあげました。泳ぐのが苦手な主人でしたが浮き輪を借りてスイスイと魚達のいるところまで見に行く事ができました。ストレスがかからず良かったです。私は船の二階からのダイブを楽しみました。5mはある高さから海に飛び込むとはいえ勇気が必要でした。還暦夫婦の海外旅行の良い思い出となりました。お世話になりました。
Our group thoroughly enjoyed the luau. The whole production was amazing. The musicians and dancers were incredibly talented. The host of the show, Hoku was a wonderful personality. The food of the buffet was delicious. There was so much to try featuring different cuisines. All around, we are happy to have chosen this luau. The only thing that would make it better, would be an ocean view.
Words cannot describe how amazing this crew is on their ship! They are very knowledgeable. Loved the experience and would 100% go on another trip with them in the future. You will not be disappointed!!!
My husband, daughter and I attended this luau. I've been to several luaus and this one had the best food, great entertainment and an amazing Fire dancer. We all enjoyed ourselves. Great service, tasty food and wonderful show.
The ups and downs of the hills, unique to four-wheel drive, were thrilling and enjoyable, and the view of Waipi'o Valley and the ocean from the slopes was absolutely wonderful. The horses also came over to the car and let us pet them. Experiencing crossing the river and seeing the taro planting were great highlights of the tour.
四輪駆動ならではの坂道のアップダウンが、スリルに満ちて面白ろく坂道の途中から見えるワイピオ渓谷と海が最高に素敵でした。馬も車に寄ってきて触らせてくれました。川を渡る経験も、タロ芋を植えるのもみせてもらって、大正解のツアーでした。
Kona water is so clear we had wonderful views during this trip.
We had a great time on the Dinner Cruise. We were especially impressed when we received a call from Medina from the Body Glove office. She noticed that we stated we both had limited mobility when we registered, so she called to tell us we could park at the pier right across from the boat and arranged to have their crew unlock the gate for us when we arrived. This made it very easy to board. The crewmembers assisted my wife, who uses a walker, during boarding and when getting off the boat. Everyone on the crew was very warm and friendly. Service was excellent. Food was good. Entertainment was a lot of fun. I highly recommend this cruise and thank the folks at Body Glove for their kind assistance to both of us.
Aloha Phil!
Thanks a million for your kind words!
We hope you're able to join us again someday soon!
Food was not good. Meat was too tough and dry. Chairs were uncomfortable and too close together. I could not see the show at all!
We had a wonderful time. Our guide was knowledgeable about the history of the valley. The views were stunning.
I am so glad we decided to go in this tour. Great photos.
Great experience, a must.
I thought there was untouched nature remaining, but heavy machinery was doing construction work everywhere!? It's disappointing!? The houses had also become ruins, leading to a depopulated village situation!
手つかずの自然が残っているかと思ったら、重機でガンガン土木工事やっていた!?残念に思う!?
住宅も廃墟になってしまって限界集落化してました❗
The trip of a lifetime (to Hawaii) included an experience of a lifetime (Glass bottom boat scenic cruise)! We saw many beautiful sea creatures in a coral laden ocean! Even a sea turtle surfaced for a few breaths before taking a dive into the turquoise waters again. The captains and naturalist answered questions about the water and its inhabitants. A job well done from beginning to end! Mahalos!
Aloha,

The top rating goes to the crew's hospitality. Even though the cocktails were free, I was very impressed. It's definitely not a cheap tour, but I would like to participate again if the opportunity arises.
1番の評価は乗務員のホスタビリティです。カクテルフリーとは言え、大変感心しました。決して安いツアーではありませんがまた機会があれば参加したいと思います。
Thank you for joining us!
Mahalo for joining us!
Es una inolvidable experiencia para disfrutar de hermosas vistas,buenos relatos de lugares históricos,pero sobre todo de una maravillosa apreciación del atardecer sobre las olas del océano,con un servicio excelente y una cena deliciosa en un ambiente muy agradable
Thank you for joining us! We are thrilled you had a great time!
This was my fourth canyon tour, and I had a different experience this time. There were three participants at the beginning, and everyone was excited. It was an English tour, but it was very enjoyable.
私、小菅智は今回で4回目の渓谷ツアーでしたが今までと異なる経験をしました。初めの参加者3名いましたが皆興奮していました。英語にツアーでしたが
非常に楽しいツアーでした。
Night snorkeling with the manta rays was incredible! We had a wonderful show from six different rays the entire time we were in the water. The guides were all very friendly and helpful. They assist with wetsuits before you board, then assist with masks onboard, and assist with floating noodles and less-experienced swimmers while in the water.
A word of warning - the water (and subsequently, the boat) were rolling intensely once we left the dock. And once you leave the dock, there is nowhere to go to get away from the rolling. Several individuals succumb to seasickness on our cruise. Not sure if maybe the ocean was just rough on our night, or if this amount of rocking is normal. Either way, I would advise caution if you are sensitive to motion sickness or vertigo.
We had the best tour down into the Waipio Valley!
Our driver was Forrest and he was funny, informative and was passionate about Hawaii and the region.
I would recommend this tour to anyone!
Thank you!!! What a phenomenal experience for my 10 yr old son! He LOVED it!
Mahalo for joining us!
It was a great experience in the beautiful nature, loved the part where we could feed the horses. Our guide was great and knowledgeable.
It was my first time kayaking, and I received thorough explanations before heading out to sea. The waves were higher than I expected, which made it challenging, but I was able to participate enjoyably. I had an adventurous experience, entering caves and passing through rock formations. The snorkeling was beautiful, with plenty of fish around.
初めてのカヤックでしたが、
丁寧に説明していただき海へ出ました。
思ったよりも波が高く大変でしたが、
楽しく参加できました。
洞窟に入ったり、岩の間を通ったりと
冒険のような体験ができました。
シュノーケルも魚がたくさんいて綺麗でした。
This was an awesome experience! Highly recommend it. Beautiful scenery and very professional tour guide. Forrest was exceptional. The weather was unbelievable. We had a wonderful time. The information given regarding the valley’s history was interesting and very well presented. 5 star event all around.
Great experience. Worth it to rent the camera. Great views of the falls.
The location, the food, and entertainment was amazing. Truly worth your time and money for this experience. Would go again. My family enjoyed this. The breeze off the water felt heavenly. Go you will not regret it.
A bit smaller than past luaus, but was right oceanside and staff really put it all out there for the show!
You can borrow winter clothing, but it is very cold. Wear long pants and sneakers. However, during sightseeing until sunset, you will be walking, seeing waterfalls, and entering caves, so it can get hot and you might sweat. Drinks are also available.
防寒服は貸してもらえますが、とても寒いです。
長ズボン、スニーカーで行くこと。
しかし、日没までの観光は、滝を見たり洞窟に入ったり歩くので暑くて汗をかきます。
飲み物も頂けます。
About 15 minutes ago, I took an Uber to the meeting point, and the guide was waiting for us. In Hawaii, I was able to catch an Uber even at 6 AM without any issues. I think it's a good idea to check the app a bit before you head out. After dropping off valuables and a change of clothes, I put my phone in the waterproof bag and set off.
We arrived at the kayak launch area right away. I wore flip-flops, but since it's not a beach, I think marine shoes would be better. We boarded the kayak from the rocky area. From there, we kayaked for about an hour and a half, entering a cave along the way. After that, we snorkeled for about an hour. We were able to see large sea urchins and various fish while circling around. Since there was quite a bit of time, it might be good to have an underwater camera to take your own pictures.
We kayaked back for an hour, and that concluded the tour. There’s a shower or a water tap where you can wash off just a few minutes' walk from the kayak launch area. You can change clothes in the nearby restroom. The day before, when I confirmed over the phone, the guide mentioned that they would take pictures, but unfortunately, the guide had to be replaced due to health issues, so I couldn't get any photos. However, I really enjoyed experiencing the Hawaiian sea.
15分くらい前にUberで集合場所へ行くと、ガイドの方が待ってくれていました。
ハワイ島のUberは、6時台でも普通に捕まりました。
出る前に、ちょっとアプリで確認しつつ出発すると良いと思います。
貴重品や着替えなどの荷物を預けて、借りた防水バックに携帯を入れて出発。
すぐにカヤック乗り場です。
ビーチサンダルで行きましたが、ビーチではないので、マリンシューズに方が良いと思います。
岩場からカヤックに乗り込みます。
そっから、1時間半程度カヤック、途中に洞窟に入ったりします。
そこから1時間程度のシュノーケリング。
ぐるぐる回って、大きなウニや色々な魚を鑑賞出来ました。
結構時間があるので、自分で撮れる水中カメラがあると良いかも知れません。
戻りでカヤック1時間で、ツアー終了です。
カヤック乗り場から見える、歩いて数分の所にある港にシャワー?と言うか、浴びれる水道があるので、そこで体を洗えます。
着替えは、その近くのトイレで行う感じです。
前日、電話で確認した際は、ガイドの方が写真を撮ってくれるとの事でしたが、体調不良でガイドの方が交代したようで、残念ながら写真は取って貰えず。
ただ、ハワイの海を堪能出来たのは楽しかったです。
