James was very knowledgeable and we did learn a lot about the big island. Walking in the lava cave was fun, don’t think you can do that elsewhere. The stargazing pictures he took was phenomenal! He even showed us how to take professional-looking pictures by just using iPhone! Definitely recommend this tour! You are gonna love it!

Our family attended the dinner cruise on Thanksgiving and we were not disappointed. The food and scenery were both excellent, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer questions. The music was also very good, and there was even some dancing during the return trip. Would highly recommend this trip during your stay on the Big Island.

Overall, great and once in a lifetime experience to see manta ray(s) up close. We also saw a reef shark and lots of schooling fish. Seaquest provides you with everything you need (wet suit, snorkel gear, etc.). You may leave your dry items on the boat (ie. valuables, phones). All you really need is a towel since it can get chilly after.
We saw one manta ray up close which was spectacular. The remainder of the snorkeling experience was a lot of waiting around and viewing other wildlife. Staff were kind and willing to help out with all our needs.

This was an experience of a lifetime. The guys and girls and SeaQuest we're so helpful and made the night so much fun. They even called as we got a little turned around on the way there. Everything from getting aboard the boat to dropping off afterwards and everything in between was really easy. When in the water we had lots of Manta Ray sightings. They are enormous beautiful creatures! The crew was very knowledgeable and their passion shows! We would definitely do this night snorkel again on our next trip.

We had a great time and seen so many sights! Our guide Brett had great knowledge and could answer all questions.
Because we had extra time we got to see the rainbow falls and got to go into a lava cave. Sadly the stargazing didn't happen due to clouds and rain.
Snacks, water and food were all plenty and good. Especially dinner at kilauea lodge was excellent, be it a bit rushed.
After the recent eruptions there was no lava activity, but we can only imagine how much more beautiful the sites would be with active lava flows.

On the day of check-in at the hotel, I watched a show. I had a standard seat, but since I lined up right after the reception started, there were only about 15 people ahead of me, so I was guided to a spot near the front of the standard seating, and I could see the show well. However, I think the back of the standard seating is still a sufficient distance to see everything.
The meal was in buffet style, with options like meat dishes and poke. Alcohol was also available. The show lasted about two hours and was performed intermittently. After a long flight, I felt it was a bit too long for me, but the climax with the fire show was stunning and woke me up.
For those who find it troublesome and stressful to arrange meals on the first day of arrival, I think it would be a good idea to book this plan where you can eat to your heart's content while watching the show.
ホテルチェックイン当日にショーを観ました。
スタンダード席でしたが、受付開始時間直後に並んだところ15人ほどしか並んでいなかったので、スタンダード席の前の方に案内してもらえ、ショーがよく見えました。
ただ、スタンダード席後ろの方でも充分見える距離だと思います。
食事はビュッフェ形式で、肉料理やポケなどが食べられます。
アルコールも飲めます。
ショーは約2時間に渡って断続的に行われ、長時間フライト後でとても疲れていた私にとっては少し長すぎかなと思いましたが、クライマックスの火のショーは圧巻だったので目が覚めました。
到着初日に食事の手配をするのが面倒だし不安だなという方は、ショーを見ながらお腹いっぱい食べられるこのプランを予約しておくのもありだと思います。

11/10 我們的司機Chris 準時來接我們,在去接第二組客人時,他為我們講解沿路火山與海灘的景色,他是在這出生有少部分夏威夷原住民的血統,能遇到當地長大的居民做為我們的導遊,真是幸運!他從開始到行程結束始終掛著笑容為我們服務!
第一站是Kona 咖啡園: 在這裡我們繞了一圈咖啡園,可惜的是因為是周末,只有兩個烘培機器運轉著,途中還看見了Lava Tube,就是熔岩管,它是熔岩洞的一種,從這開始了對火山的認識。在這裡有各式免費咖啡的試飲,我試了Kona coffee medium roast 與有夏威夷豆口味所混合夏威夷咖啡,各有不同的風味!Chris 為我們在桌上準備了午餐,是亞洲式午餐有日本紫薯,魚片,雞肉與白飯,配上Kona的各式果汁! 是亞洲人喜歡的口味!
第二站到了黑沙灘看海龜:Chris 雖然不能保證是否看到海龜,一下車往海灘的方向,但我們非常期待,拉著兒子的小手往沙灘前進,踩在黑沙灘上是很特別的經驗,黑沙灘的沙是冷卻的岩漿經過風力與海水沖刷而成的,沙的顆粒很小摸起來很舒服,不過一會兒就看見一隻烏龜在沙灘上休息著,大家太过興奮靠近時,被在沙灘上的救生員喊ˇ著說”請給烏龜足夠的空間"! 在這地方有標示牌請大家給他們至少30ft 的空間,不可餵食也不可觸摸!在這片黑沙灘上是開著荷花的池塘,和諧地與海邊的景色共存著,非常美麗的景色.雖然只看見一隻海龜,還是非常值得.
第三站: 一連串的火山探險之旅,首先來到火山國家公園,Chris 分享著他在前幾個夜間所拍的照片,火紅的岩漿從洞口發出,非常驚人的景色,目前能見到的是火山停止噴發後不斷地發出的煙,這時候已經來到熱帶雨林區,天氣涼爽許多,再加上小雨落下,景色非常的特別,從海邊到山上,溫度驟降,但是貼心的Chris為大家準備了外套與雨衣,不需要擔心沒有帶外套,唯一的建議是要穿包腳的鞋子!
再來去看了crater lookout, steam vests,sea Arch 還有Chains of Craters Road.分別是火山口,蒸氣口,海邊拱門,最後在僅存的舊道路上欣賞熔岩經過的歷史痕跡! 如此接近因火山活動而產生變化的自然奇景,是來到大島時一定要參加的行程! 當我們站在舊有的道路上轉身往後一看在高處則是近期因火山活動留下的黑色的痕跡,在這Chris 找出各式不一樣型態的殘留物,仔細講解著,真的是更認識了大島!
第四站:在最後一站觀星之前,我們到了Lava Cafe享用晚餐,當魚補獲的魚排餐,牛仔骨分別配上土豆尼與白飯,兒子吃的是炒粉,免費的飲料,大家都吃得很飽! 估計是全車的亞洲客人而特別預備的餐點,接著到了Mauna Kea State Park 觀星,

What an amazing experience!! Not only are you able to see the beauty in a fun adventurous manner but there is time and places to capture pictures in between some of the ziplines. The views are stunning and you’ll see waterfalls, rainforest, the ocean and so much more. The staff does a great job of getting everyone to open up and have a great time. They take the time to give you tips on how to do things so you get the most out of your experience. You are sure to laugh the entire time! It was great to also see so many kids on our tour who had an amazing time!
There is a little store before you start where you can get some things like souvenirs, treats, and bug spray. If you go on a rainy day I would note you could get some mud onto yourself but it is minimal. It may also be helpful to consider the equipment when dressing. Many on our tour thought it would be cooler because of the rain to start but the equipment keeps you a bit warm so many had rain coats they didn’t want. They do have some video and picture packages you are able to purchase of your tour and I recommend waiting to purchase these extras until the end of your tour to see if you like them. If you go with the GoPro camera option then you will want that ahead of time.

I love dolphin swimming and have been to Mikurajima in Japan and the Bahamas in the past.
During my first visit to the Big Island, I participated in tours with your company and another local American company led by a captain with a small group. If I have the chance to come again, I would like to request Aloha Kona Tours. (^^)
The tour guide provided clear instructions, and the captain was attentive to observing the dolphins.
I believe both first-time dolphin swimmers and experienced ones can feel at ease.
The dolphins I encountered this time were often resting or moving around, so I hope to have the chance to communicate joyfully with them again someday. ♬
The sight of the wild spinner dolphins jumping was breathtaking.
Thank you very much!
ドルフィンスイムが大好きで、過去に日本の御蔵島やバハマへ行きました。
初のハワイ島では御社と他社(アメリカのローカルの方がキャプテンの少人数ツアー)に参加しましたが、次回また来ることがありましたら、アロハコナツアーズさんにお願いしようと思っています。(^^)
的確な指示をくれるツアーガイドさんと、ドルフィンのことをしっかり観察されているキャプテン。
初めてドルフィンスイムに挑戦される方も、経験者の方も、安心して頂けると思います。
今回私が出逢ったイルカちゃんたちは休養中や移動が多かったので、またイルカちゃんと楽しくコミュニケーションがとれることをリベンジ出来る日が来ると良いなと思いす♬
生のスピナードルフィンのジャンプは圧巻でした。

We went to see a cave a little away from the bay by sea kayak, dropped anchor nearby, snorkeled, swam for a while, and then kayaked back the same route. The kayak ride took about an hour one way. Since we didn't go ashore, it might be a bit hard for beginners. However, the instructor was very kind, and it didn't matter if you couldn't speak much English. Also, we took a route where there was a chance to see sea turtles, mantas, dolphins, and whales, so I think it would be a great experience if you time it with the season! By the way, I only saw a sea turtle.
シーカヤックで、湾から少し離れた洞窟を見に行き、その付近でアンカーを落とし、シュノーケリング、しばらく泳いで、またカヤックで、また来たルートを戻ります。
カヤックは片道1時間でした。
陸に上がらないので、ビギナーには少しハードです。
ただ、インストラクターは、とても優しくて、英語もそこまで話せなくても問題ない感じです。
そして、ウミガメやマンタ、イルカ、クジラに会えるチャンスのあるルートを通るので、季節を合わせるといい経験になると思います!
ちなみに私は、ウミガメにだけ会えました。

Our tour was initially rescheduled due to inclement weather. Sea Quest was really professional and gave us a free GoPro rental to make up for the inconveniences. On the day of the tour, they prepped us with all the necessary gear (prescription snorkels, wet suits, regular snorkels, etc.) And gave us a brief overview of what to expect before we headed into the waters.
We saw about 5 mantas that night. They swam close by and it was a really cool experience. There were 2 sea Quest employees in the water with us helping us each step of the way whether it be to adjust the snorkels or retrieve a noodle. They also kept giving us information about the mantas to make the trip more enjoyable.
After about 45 min in the water it was a short ride back to shore where they had hot chocolate and bags of cookies waiting for us.
Over all a very fun experience. Would definitely recommend.

Since it was a "budget trip," I participated in the afternoon plan and thoroughly enjoyed it.
The weather was nice, and I had fun sailing on the yacht. We even encountered a pod of dolphins in Kealakekua Bay. There was also plenty of time for snorkeling. On the way back, we had a bit of rain, but thanks to that, we were able to see a beautiful rainbow.
The staff only spoke English, but they were very friendly and went around offering drinks and cookies. I think it’s a sufficient tour unless you’re looking for meals or other extras.
「貧乏旅行」だったのでアフタヌーン・プランに参加しましたが、堪能しました。
天気が良かったこともありますが、ヨットでのセーリングを楽しみ、ケアラケクア湾ではイルカの群れにも遭遇。シュノーケリングの時間も十分にありました。帰りは一雨ありましたが、そのおかげで綺麗な虹まで見ることができました。
スタッフは英語のみでしたが、非常にフレンドリーで、飲み物やクッキーを配ってまわっていました。食事やその他のプラス・アルファを求めるのでなければ、十分なツアーだと思います。
Thank you for joining us on the afternoon snorkel to Kealakekua Bay. We are glad you had a nice time. Thank you for taking the time to write a review.

We first drove to Mauna Kea Park and the weather was just perfect! Clear skies and a beautiful breeze. Once we arrived to the Volcano National Park, it was so nice to see the park reopened again. Beautiful scenery and but what took the cake was the private lava tube that only this activity provider has access to which definitely makes up for the fact that Thurston Lava Tube is still closed. The lava tube was breathtaking and the deeper you go in, the more treasure you unveil. THIS IS A MUST DO!!!

I was initially anxious about the meeting place since there were no buildings, but the guide arrived by truck, pulling the kayaks to the entry point to the sea. Accompanied by two pairs of beginner couples, including us and a Dutch couple, the guide adjusted to our slower pace and provided thorough explanations at various spots visible from the sea.
At the sea cave (which wasn't very deep), it was enjoyable to watch the Dutch man and the guide jump from the cliff (we declined to participate). Even when we capsized and fell into the sea, the guide calmly helped us back onto the kayak.
Since both pairs were beginners, we didn't go snorkeling but were simply informed about suitable spots. Although there was a bit of wind and waves, it was a fun first experience with enthusiastic and humorous explanations from the guide, all from a sea-level perspective.
集合場所が建物もなく不安でしたが、海へのエントリー場所に、積んだカヤックを引っ張ってトラックでガイド登場。
我ら初心者老夫婦とオランダ人カップルのふた組引き連れ、遅れがちの我々のペースに合わせ、海から見える場所場所で、丁寧な説明。
海中洞窟(それほど奥行きは無かったが)では、上の崖から飛び込み(オランダ人男性とガイドさんで、我々は辞退)も見ていても楽しいイベントでした。
転覆して海に落ちても、慌てず丁寧に、カヤックに引き上げてもらいました。
ふた組ともカヤック初心者のためか、シュノーケリングはしませんでしたが、てきせつな場所を教えてもらうだけでした。
風、波が少しあり疲れましたが、ひょうきんながら熱心な説明で、海から目線の楽しい初体験でした。

My husband and I went on the snorkel experience and it was the best! We saw about 15 manta rays, including one with a 12 foot wingspan, and probably close to 10 barrel rolls where they came within a few inches of us. Our crew worked hard to make sure we were comfortable and that we had a good time (even made us hot cocoa after we got out of the water). I can't say enough great things about Ocean Encounters- you might find a cheaper manta ray swim, but you won't find a better one.

First of all, this tour starts with a meeting point, so it was an adventure for us from the beginning. We left Hilton Waikoloa a little over an hour before the meeting time and arrived safely after about 50 minutes, but the parking lot in front of Fair Wind was already full. We were directed to a parking area deep in the woods across the way (which was just right in front). It was very difficult to find... However, my mother had checked other people's blogs, so if you're worried, you might want to look there.
We took a large boat to Kealakekua Bay. It was a one-hour boat ride, but it wasn't too bumpy, and we were able to have breakfast, so it went by quickly. There is a second floor, but since meals are served on the first floor, I recommend staying on the first floor.
Once we arrived at the bay, we could snorkel freely. There were no Japanese staff, but they made sure to provide fins and floaties. The floaties, which looked like sumo wrestling mawashi, were quite amusing, but they allowed us to snorkel for a long time, making it very comfortable.
I don't think there were any explanations in English about the fish or where to find them, so you can just immerse yourself in snorkeling. Some people were jumping into the sea from the slide, while others finished snorkeling early to have lunch on the boat or enjoy the scenery; everyone was very relaxed.
On the way back, I was hoping to see dolphins, but I didn't find any. However, when I heard a loud noise and looked towards the back of the boat, there was a man struggling with a fishing line that had a reaction. Everyone cheered, and when a large barracuda came out, the atmosphere on the boat was electric.
This tour is recommended for those who want to enjoy their meals, snorkeling, and the scenery at a leisurely pace.
まずこのツアーは現地集合なのでそこから私たちにとっては冒険でした
集合時間の一時間ちょっと前にヒルトンワイコロアを出て、50分ほどで無事
到着しましたが、フェアウインドの前の駐車場はすでに埋まっていて、
対岸の(といってもすぐ目の前)方までぐるっとまわった林の中の駐車場を
案内されました。これを見つけるのはとても難しい・・・
でも他の人のブログで母がチェックしていたので心配な方はそちらを
そして、大型船でケアラケクア湾へ 一時間の船旅ですがそこまで揺れませんし、朝ご飯を食べられるのであっという間でした。
2階もありますが、食事が一階にありますので一階がおすすめ
湾につくと自由にシュノーケリング
日本人スタッフはいませんが、ヒレや浮き輪などちゃんと声をかけてくれます
相撲のまわしのような浮き輪がとても笑えますが、長い間シュノーケリング
出来るのでとても楽でした。
お魚の説明や、どこにいるよとかは特に英語でも説明はなかったと
思うので、ただただシュノーケリングに没頭できます
滑り台からジャンプして海に入ってる人や・早めにシュノーケリングを終えて
船内で昼食を食べてる人、景色を楽しんでる人それぞれで
とってもまったりしています。
帰る際には、イルカが見られるかもと思って探していましたが、見つからず、
大きな声がして船内の後方をみるとなんと、おじさんが反応のあった釣り糸と格闘中。みんなで応援して、大きなシーラが出てきたときは、船内は大盛り上がりでした。
ゆっくり、食事もシュノーケリングも景色も楽しみたい方にはおすすめのツアーです

It was my first dolphin tour. I encountered a pod of about 200 dolphins and was able to swim with them! When I entered the water, I could hear the dolphins' calls all around me, and I was moved as dolphins swam right past me. There were four opportunities to swim with the dolphins, and I was able to swim with them during all of those chances. I felt grateful to have come, as I was told that encountering this many dolphins is rare. It was truly an emotional and unforgettable experience.
初めてのイルカツアーでした。
約200頭程のイルカの群れに遭遇して、一緒に泳ぐ事が出来ました!海に入るとイルカの鳴き声がたくさん聞こえ、すごく近くをイルカが通り過ぎていき感動。イルカへのアタックチャンスは4回もあり、全てのアタックでイルカと一緒に泳ぐ事ができました。こんなにイルカと遭遇できるのはレアだと言われて来て良かったなぁと思いました。本当に本当に感動的で初めての体験ばかりでした。
