All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

We saw fish, turtle, sea urchins, sea cucumbers and had a great time! Guide and captain were very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend for a quick and short excursion!!! We stayed at Hilton Waikoloa and we were 5 min drive.

I visited two places. The first beach didn't have many fish and the water was cold, so it might be fine to just go to one place. The second spot, Kealakekua Bay, had both coral and fish, which was great. The food was good too. The water temperature was higher here, so I think it would have been difficult if it were the other way around.

2か所行きました。最初の海はあまり魚がいなくて、水が冷たかったので、1か所だけでもいいかもしれません。2か所目ケアラケクア湾は珊瑚も魚もいて良かったです。料理も良かったです。水の温度もこっちの方が高かったので、逆だったら無理だと思います

It was drizzling at first, but later it cleared up and the scenery was amazing. Since it was an English guide, I couldn't really understand what was being said, but the horses were smart, so I managed to get by by watching them. Thank you very much.

最初霧雨だったけど、後から晴れて景色も最高でした。英語ガイドなので、ほぼ何を言っているのかわからないけど、馬が賢いので見よう見まねで何とかなりました。ありがとうございました。

Wonderful small tour with great guide Henry ✨️ lots of fantastic information and lovely attractions. Lunch was awesome too by Millies! Yum great value and excellent tour guide Henry

We participated as a family of three, including our third-grade daughter. Since we were staying in the Waikoloa area, we drove to the meeting point in a rental car. It was quite a distance (about 40 to 50 minutes), but we enjoyed the drive. Along the way, we spotted some wild goats, which delighted our child.

The boat was quite rocky, but it seemed that no one was seasick. However, for those who are worried about seasickness, I recommend taking some medication beforehand. There were only two other Japanese families besides us among the participants, with the rest being Korean and Westerners. The staff only spoke English, but they provided a written notice in Japanese, so as long as you can speak a little English, it shouldn't be a problem.

The boat had two slides, which our daughter was really looking forward to, but we were surprised when we arrived! The slide's starting point was on the second floor of the boat, and the end of the slide was about three meters above the water surface, so it felt like you were almost falling into the sea. I was too scared to try it myself.

You can also dive or jump off the boat, which can be done from both the second and first floors. Snorkels and fins are available for rent, as well as life jackets or something like floaties. Since it was our daughter's first time snorkeling, she initially borrowed a bodyboard with a bottom window. As she got used to the water, she expressed a desire to try snorkeling on her own, so we rented a tube float, a child-sized snorkel, and fins, and enjoyed snorkeling together.

There was also a small child, about two years old, enjoying the sea on a board, so I think people of a wide range of ages can enjoy this activity. On the way back, snacks were provided. The snacks included taro chips and cut pineapple, and drinks included water, but for those who wanted, soft drinks could be purchased for one dollar, and alcoholic drinks were also available for a price I can't remember.

小3娘と夫婦の家族３人で参加しました。
私たちはワイコロアエリアに宿泊していたので、集合場所まではレンタカーで向かいました。
集合場所まではかなりの距離（40〜50分ほど）がありましたが、それもドライブと思い楽しみました。途中、野生のヤギを見かけたりして、子供は喜んでいました。
船は結構揺れますが、船酔いしている人はいなかった様です。ただ、船酔いが心配な方は酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいと思います。
参加者は日本人は私たちの他に２組ほど。あとは、韓国系の方や欧米系の方々でした。スタッフは英語しか通じません。でも、日本語で書かれた注意書きを貸してくれるので、専門的な英語は分からなくても多少の英語が話せれば問題ないです。
２台のすべり台が付いている船ということで、娘はとても楽しみにしていましたが、着いてびっくり！なんと、船の２階部分がすべり台の乗り場になっていて、すべり台の終わりがなんと海面からおよそ３メートルほども上なので、ほぼ海面に落ちるという感じです。
さすがに、怖くて私もできませんでした。
あとは、船からダイブというかジャンプしたりもできます。これは、船の２階からでもできるし、１階からもできます。
シュノーケルとフィンは貸し出してくれます。ライフジャケットか浮き輪のようなものも貸してくれます。娘は初めてのシュノーケルだったので、はじめは底窓付きのボディーボードのようなものを借りました。海に慣れてくると、自分でもシュノーケルをやってみたいと言い出したので、チューブ浮き輪と子供用シュノーケルとフィンを借りて、一緒にシュノーケルを楽しみました。
２歳くらいの小さな子もボードで海を楽しんでいましたので、幅広い年齢の方が楽しめると思います。
帰りにスナックが出されます。スナックはタロ芋チップスとカットパイナップル、飲み物は水が含まれますが、希望者は１ドルでソフトドリンク、値段は忘れましたがアルコールドリンクも買えます。

This was my first time snorkeling with manta rays, so I was a little apprehensive. But the crew members were reassuring and had a "chill" attitude that put me at ease. They also explanined everything very well. Also, expect that you might not see manta rays right away. I think it took almost a half hour before they appeared in our area of the bay. But overall, this was so much fun as seeing these otherworldly creatures up close was amazing!

It was nice overall. The staff are friendly and worked hard. Food taste was okay. Generous portion. The boat is small and with waves, my 5 years old got sea sick and was throwing up.

I participated with my 12-year-old son and my 89-year-old mother. The guide spoke entirely in English, and we were the only Asian participants, but everyone was very kind and the captain and crew provided the best hospitality. The views from the boat, the activities, the food, and the service were all wonderful.

During the activities at Kealakekua Bay, we encountered a variety of beautiful fish while snorkeling in the clear water, and we were lucky enough to see a pod of about ten dolphins swimming very close to the boat. There were slides and jumping platforms from the catamaran, allowing both children and adults to have a great time. My son, who had been afraid of going into the deep sea, ended up wanting to try jumping in, showing how he grew stronger under the charm of the beautiful bay.

We only needed to bring towels, as all the equipment like eco-friendly sunscreen, snorkels, fins, and flotation devices were provided.

As for my elderly mother, I believe it was thanks to the large Fair Wind boat that the ride was gentle, allowing her to sit comfortably throughout. During snorkeling, she was able to use a float to stay in the water, with the help of a very kind female crew member who watched over her the whole time.

Throughout the tour, it was clear that all the crew prioritized passenger safety and the protection of the beautiful nature, creating a tour with the best entertainment. There are various similar tours available, but I’m really glad we chose this one. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Big Island, and we look forward to participating again in the future. Thank you very much for this precious and enjoyable opportunity.

12歳の息子、89歳の母と参加させて頂きました。
ガイドは全て英語で、アジア系の参加者は私たちまけでしたが、とても親切に対応下さり、船長さん、クルーの誰もが最高のホスピタリティでもてなして下さいました。船上からの景色、アクティビティ、お料理、おもてなしなど、どれもが素晴らしかったです。

ケアラケクア湾でのアクティビティでは、美しい透き通った水の中、シュノーケルで多種多様なお魚に出会ったほか、10頭ほどのイルカの群が船のすぐ近くまで泳ぎに来たのに遭遇する事ができました。カタマランから水面へ飛び込む滑り台や、ジャンプ台など、子どもも大人も目一杯楽しむことができます。深い海に行く事を怖がっていた息子も、最後はジャンプに挑戦したくなったと、自然と美しい湾の魅力のもとで強くなった様でした。
持ち物はタオルのみでしたが、サンゴなどの海洋環境に優しい日焼け止めやシュノーケル、フィン、浮き具などの道具は全て貸して頂けました。

もっとも心配していた高齢母については、大きなフェアウィンド号ならではと思いますが、揺れは穏やかで終始座って過ごすことができ、またシュノーケリング時には浮き輪を使用して水に腰をつけさせて頂くことができました。これには、大変親切な女性クルーが手伝い、ずっと見守ってくださいました。

ツアー全体を通して、全てのクルーが、乗客の安全と美しい自然の保護をもっとも大切に、最高のエンターテイメントとともにツアーを作って下さっていることが伝わって来ました。
様々な同様のツアーがございますが、こちらのツアーに参加することができて本当に良かったです。
ハワイ島を訪れる方には、是非おすすめしたいツアー、私たちもまた参加できる時を楽しみにしております。
この度は、とても貴重な楽しい機会を誠にありがとうございました。

10/10 highly recommended doing this. Such an amazing experience.

The pickup was just on time! Ms. Tamae's explanations and guidance were clear and perfect. After watching the beautiful sunset from the boat, we entered the sea to start manta watching. We could see many mantas swimming, and when they began rolling right in front of us, it was incredibly moving. Even in July, it felt a bit cold underwater at night, so I think it's better to rent a wetsuit.

ピックアップもジャストタイム！
たまえさんの説明や誘導も分かりやすく完璧でした。
ボートから美しいサンセットを見たあと海に入りマンタウォッチング開始。
多数のマンタが泳ぐのが見え、その後目の前でローリングを始めると最高に感動しました。
7月でも夜は少し水中だと寒く感じたので、ウエットスーツは借りた方が良いと思います。

Loved everything about this group from the easy registration, the friendliness and professionalism of the crew and captain and you can't beat the location

Thanks for everything

We got some great catches and had fun together on our honeymoon doing a thing we both love! Glad we got to fish Hawaii!

Gentle giants for certain!! What amazing creatures to get to play around with in the water

Great crew, fun boat, and the sea caves were incredible to get to see!!!!

This day may be long, but you get to see all the island and find spots you want to go back and see more! The stargazing was unreal!!

Was a good evening, was smaller than I imagined but none the less the crew puts in the work!

Got to celebrate our anniversary on the Kona waters, very beautiful sunset and very good grub!

Great little ATV tour of a working fruit farm, the kids loved fishing in the ponds and the views of the coastline were gorgeous.
Guides were informative and made everyone comfortable.
Well worth the visit!

The crew was really nice, and we have such a great experience. I was scared at first, but swimming with the mantas was really cool. This is definitely a must do in your trip to Kona.

Great service and fantastic dancing! We loved the entire show and Dinner! Fire dance was great at the end!

I couldn't make it to the meeting place on time, but I felt a bit relieved that my husband and I were the only participants. The guide was someone I had met a few years ago, which was another relief. Getting in and out of the canoe was a bit challenging, but while paddling, I asked the guide various questions and he recommended a delicious hamburger place. It was great when we went there afterward! Thank you very much. As I get older, paddling the canoe is becoming more difficult. I would be happy if you could create some other tours as well.

待ち合わせ場所に時間にたどり着けなかったが、参加者が私たち夫婦のみで少し安心。ガイドさんも何年か前にお世話になった方でまた一安心。カヌーの乗り降りは少し大変でしたが、カヌーを漕ぎながらガイドさんにいろいろ尋ね、美味しいハンバーガー屋さんも教えていただきました。その後食べに行ったら美味しかったです！ありがとうございました。
年をとると段々カヌーを漕ぐのもしんどくなってきています。
他に何かツアーを作っていただけると嬉しいです。

This was the most perfect event. We has a great time celebrating our honeymoon.

I participated in this tour. With Tamae's guidance, I was able to experience the culture of Hawaii Island while traveling, watch dolphins at sea, and see sea turtles while snorkeling. It was a lot of fun.

当ツアーに参加させていただきました。Tamae様の案内もあり、ハワイ島の文化に触れながら移動し、洋上ではイルカウオッチングをして、シュノーケリングではウミガメをみることもきました。とても楽しかったです。

Great experience - beautiful scenery and educational! Kaleo = Best Tour guide!

I felt there were many Polynesian dances. There were fewer hula performances, but the fire show was impressive. The food was very delicious. However, the location was hard to find. Even the staff at the Orchid didn't seem to know much about it. I think I should have asked the doorman at the front entrance from the beginning.

ポリネシアンダンスが多く感じました。フラは少なめですが、ファイヤーショーは見応えがありました。食事はとてもおいしかった。ただ、開催場所がわかりにくかった。オーキッドのスタッフに聞いてもあまり知らないようでした。正面玄関のドアマンに最初から聴けばよかったと思いました。

Waipio valley is magical. Our guide Keleo was so knowledgeable and you could feel his passion for his land. I lived in Maui. Visited 4 different islands. And I can say. This place you do not want to miss. I feel like I learned more on this tour than any tour I have ever done in all my travels. Even my 13 year old said it was amazing

My family, including two teenagers, agreed this was an amazing tour and a must experience. Our guide, Kaleo, a resident of the valley, was funny and knowledgeable about the history, legends, and way of life for the current residents of the Waipio Valley. We saw wild horses, birds, waterfalls, and stunning views. We also enjoyed our time at Waipio Valley Artworks while we waited for our check-in. Customer service was also great. We needed to change our time for our tour, and because there was room on the earlier shuttle, they were friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this tour on the Big Island.

Awesome experience. The catamaran was very roomy with plenty of space to spread out. The Captain and 2 crewmembers were awesome. Always had a drink in my hand, they also served us teryaki chicken and a salad. Check in process was a breeze. Definitely recommend this cruise.

The evening manta ray tour was amazing!! Crew was great, Trevor, Scott, Mitch were all top notch. Diego? Well, okay, he was great too! Ha! Seriously, fun crew, AMAZING manta rays, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thanks!

Great experience, fun crew! Everyone in our group loved it and if the opportunity ever presents itself we'd do it again!
