The speed of the speedboat was absolutely thrilling! I was desperately holding on during the ride. The sea breeze was pleasant, and it felt like an amusement park attraction. Although it was only in English, I had no worries. I highly recommend this for those looking for a unique snorkeling tour.
とにかく高速ボ-トのスピードが迫力満点!走行中は必死につかまってる状態でしたよ〜。海風が心地よく遊園地のアトラクション気分で楽しめました。英語ガイドだけでしたが不安はありませんでした。ひと味違うシュノ-ケリングツアーを求める方に是非おすすめします。

I couldn't book the same tour I wanted, so I chose this one with an English guide as a second option. My elementary school daughter also enjoyed it without much issue. For stargazing, I always book two sessions during the trip considering weather conditions, and since I had a Japanese explanation the day before, we were able to enjoy the stars. However, compared to a full-fledged stargazing tour, this part felt more like a bonus, with less explanation and no use of a telescope. There were new discoveries as well, as the places I visited for the first time and the Kīlauea crater had changed significantly due to the eruptions.
行きたかった同じようなツアーの予約が取れず、次善の策として英語ガイドでしたが選びました。小学生の娘もさほど問題なく楽しめました。星空観察は天候の問題などを考慮して旅行中いつも2回予約するのですが、前日に一度日本語の解説をしてもらっていたので、星空も楽しめました。ただ、本格的な星空観察ツアーに比べるとその部分は「おまけ」みたいな感じで説明も少なく、天体望遠鏡を使用することもありませんでした。初めて訪れた場所や、キラウエアの火口も噴火により依然とだいぶ変わっていたり、新しい発見がありました。

Riding horses in the spacious ranch under the blue sky was very refreshing. The horses were very smart, so even beginners like us could enjoy it. The guides were two young women, and they looked really cool riding the horses. Perhaps due to the altitude or because it was the afternoon, it was a bit chilly with just short sleeves on the day we participated, as the wind was strong.
I thought the meeting point might be a little hard to find unless you pay attention to the directions (please enter through the entrance of 'Kahua Ranch' that appears on the right side after passing mile marker 11). After entering the property from the road, there was a simple door at the entrance to the parking lot that you had to open yourself, which made me hesitate a bit, wondering if I was in the right place. If the cars of those who arrived before me hadn't been parked there, I might have turned back.
The explanation before riding was in English only, but even someone like me, who struggles with English, could somewhat understand the meaning. There might have been many Japanese tourists, as out of ten people, eight were Japanese (three Japanese families and one couple from an English-speaking country).
Since it was a ranch, the terrain wasn't all flat; there were slopes, and we passed right next to where cows were grazing, allowing us to fully enjoy nature.
広々とした牧場と青い空の中での乗馬はとても気持ちがよかったです。馬がとても賢いので、初心者の私達も楽しむことができました。
ガイドは若い女性二人で、馬に乗る姿がとてもかっこよかったです。高所のせいなの午後だったからなのか私達が参加した日は風が強く半袖では少し寒いと感じました。
集合場所は、行き方の補足説明(マイルマーカー「11」を過ぎて右側にでてくる『カフアランチ』の入り口からお入りください。)を意識しておかないとちょっとわかりにくいかな、と思いました。道路から敷地に入り、その先の駐車場の入口には簡易的な扉があり、自分で開けて入るスタイルだったので、「ここでいいのかなあ・・」とちょっと躊躇してしまいました。先着してた方々の車が止まっていなかったら引き返したかも、と思いました。
乗馬前の説明は英語のみですが、苦手な私でも意味はなんとなくわかりました。日本人観光客が多いのかもしれません。この時は10人中8人は日本人(日本人3家族と英語圏のカップルが1組)でした。
牧場なので平らなところばかりではなく、坂道があったり、牛が放牧されている直ぐ側を通ったりと自然を満喫できました。

I was a bit anxious about my first horseback riding experience with only an English guide, but the bright and friendly Jackie and her team guided us with kindness. They spoke slowly in English while mixing in some Japanese words like "stand" and "kick," which made me feel very relaxed and enjoy the experience.
The two and a half hours of horseback riding flew by, and the view overlooking the magnificent ranch and the ocean was breathtaking. If I go to the Big Island, I definitely want to visit again.

It takes about 20 to 30 minutes from the port to reach the spot beyond Kona Airport. Perhaps due to the strong winds, there were waves, and the impact on the boat was significant.
Several other boats gathered at the spot, and we all waited for the sunset. As soon as the sun went down, we jumped into the water, grabbed onto the float, and just floated. Manta rays appeared almost immediately. One after another, three of them swam right in front of us, opening their large mouths. The sheer power of it was breathtaking.
With the support of the crew, including Tamae, I felt safe participating. I highly recommend it.
港から2〜30分でコナ空港の先のスポットまで行きます。風の強い日だったためか波もありボートへの衝撃は大きかったです。

I participated in the 1.5-hour plan. My 15-year-old daughter, who is a bit scared and has only experienced about 10 minutes of horseback riding in Japan with an attendant, enjoyed this tour and seemed to gain confidence riding on her own. We were very satisfied with the wonderful scenery of the Kohala Coast, the Hawaiian blue sky and sea spread out before us, and the faint view of Maui Island in the distance.
The entrance can be a bit hard to find by car, so I think it's a good idea to check it on Google Maps while heading there.

I rode with a 9-year-old, and it was incredibly exciting. We went through the jungle, climbed up and down, which was quite thrilling (maybe because of my driving?). Ducks followed us at the pond, and we got to do some fishing. The view of the white-capped Pacific Ocean from the cliffs was amazing. Along the way, we saw some rare flowers and tried some fruits; it was a packed two and a half hours. In addition to our group of eight, there were two Western couples, and we had two friendly guides for our party of ten. I highly recommend it.

The relaxed atmosphere was great for my first horseback riding experience. However, the horse only walked slowly, so I felt like I wanted to trot a bit.
At the waterfall along the way, there were also activities like stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). I thought of it just as a snack time, but if I had gone with that in mind, I might have been able to spend a bit more meaningful time there.

My partner and I went on this tour with Aaron. He was a fantastic tour guide, with lots of interesting tidbits about the history of the island and plenty of jokes. He also offered to take plenty of photos of us at all the stops. A huge thank you to him for remaining so cheerful and helpful after such a long day. If it was a long day for us, I can't imagine how long it was for him.
The tour was exactly what's stated in the description. We chose to do the tour in part because we weren't certain how to navigate Volcano National Park, and the tour offered highlights of the Park. After the tour though, I wish we had had more time on the island so we could explore Volcano National Park ourselves. Two hours wasn't nearly enough. If you're lucky (we unfortunately weren't), there will be lava at the Park. But don't worry, the volcanoes on Hawaii won't kill you, but bad tour guide jokes will (thank you for that one Aaron!).
Another highlight was Punalu'u Bake Shop. Try the pineapple malasadas: you won't regret it! I was initally hesitant because I'm not a fan of pineapple not in its raw form/juice, but the pineapple malasada was the best of those we ordered. I wish we got more. The passionfruit (lilikoi) and apple ones were also delicious.
After the bakery, we went to Punalu'u Black Sand Beach. It's absolutely lovely and a nice chance to see the endangered Hawaiian sea turtles up close. It's also very picturesque. Just don't get too close to the waves or you'll get very wet.
We finished the tour with stargazing.
Overall, I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a quick, yet interesting and surprisingly thorough, tour of the southern part of the Big Island. If/when we go back, we would book with Wasabi Tours again.

We were the only Japanese participants, and although we didn't understand the content of the conversation, it felt good to be part of an overseas tour.
For lunch, it was labeled as BBQ, but it was a small, cold hamburger that had been prepared in advance. Since this was one of the reasons we chose the tour, I wish they had made adjustments if there were any changes. I don't think the tour was bad, but I felt it was expensive in terms of cost performance.

I have always been interested in horseback riding on the Big Island, but I couldn't find the right timing due to sightseeing at the beach and Kilauea. However, I finally got to try horseback riding.
The weather was excellent that day, especially towards Kohala Ranch, creating perfect conditions. I was a bit worried, but there were Japanese instructions available, so there were no issues at all.
First, the staff provided an explanation, and I learned about the riding posture and how to control the horse. They helped me choose a horse based on my physique, and then I let the horse take the lead. The horses were very well-trained, and I was able to have my first horseback riding experience without any problems. The experience course lasted 1.5 hours, but I ended up riding for about 2 hours.
The majestic nature and stunning scenery were addictive. Reservations were also easy to make before the trip. Thank you for a wonderful time.
There was a young boy among the customers who was scared and crying, but the staff stayed with him, and he was able to ride without any trouble at all.

There were about 15 participants, and a guide was at the front and back. The gathering and dispersal felt casual, as we just came to the bay and then left, so I think it's good to come in swimsuits and leave in swimsuits. There were public restrooms nearby. If you have a certain level of English or some canoeing experience, you'll feel more comfortable participating. Also, the light snacks provided were small bags of snacks and about one can of juice. They lent out life jackets for children. The snorkeling masks were one size, so the kids used their own goggles. It was a beautiful bay with very clear blue water, and it was a wonderful half-day tour while feeling the nature of Hawaii. Thank you very much.

All the horses were very gentle, and riding in the beautiful, vast ranch was enjoyable. Since the wind is strong, it can get chilly even if it's hot, so I think it's a good idea to borrow a riding jacket and wrap it around your waist. Be sure to let your guide know when you want to put on or take off your jacket or windbreaker, and do this while the guide is holding the horse's reins.
Jackie, our guide, explained how to ride in very clear, slow, and polite English, which was great! Thanks to that, my 15-year-old child was able to enjoy it safely. We rode a somewhat lazy horse (who kept munching on grass), but thanks to Bridget, our guide's advice, we didn't spend all our time eating grass.
It's best to leave valuables in the car. The parking space is just before you can see the reception building. If you're worried about leaving things in the car, you can also have them stored in the reception office.
When we got off the horse, it nuzzled against me, and it was so, so cute! Thank you for a wonderful experience! I want to go again.
どの馬もとてもおとなしく、美しく広大な牧場の乗馬は楽しかったです。
風が強いので暑くても途中から冷えてきますが、乗馬ジャケットを貸してくれるので腰に巻いておくと良いかと思います。ジャケットやウインドブレーカーは必ずガイドさんに一声かけて、ガイドさんが馬の手綱を握ってくれている状態で着脱します。
ガイドのジャッキーさんの乗り方の説明が、わかり易くゆっくりと丁寧な英語で話してくれたのでとても良かったです!おかげで、15才の子供も安全に楽しむことができました。私たちはちょっとlazyな(すぐに草を喰む)馬に乗りましたが、ガイドのブリジットさんのアドバイスのおかげで草を食べてばかりという事も無かったです。
貴重品類は基本的に車に置いてくるのが良いです。受付棟が見える少し手前が駐車スペースです。車に置くのが心配な場合には、受付の事務室でも預かってくれます。
