伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ(キングカメハメハホテル内)<ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

Enjoyable luau 楽しめるルアウ

Reviewed by: yamatosumomo

Three years ago, I attended a luau at a different hotel in the same area, but this one was better. The venue had various booths in a workshop format where you could take commemorative photos and lightly engage with Polynesian culture. There were henna stamps (though it probably wasn't henna, as it easily came off with wet wipes that night), toys like kendama, and board games. After experiencing the henna, we were guided to a table while enjoying free cocktails. We sat at a round table for eight with a group of four from England. The MC conducted the event in English that was generally understandable, even for us with just basic travel English.

However, the English spoken by the British guests was a bit difficult to understand, and there was a speaker right behind me, making conversation challenging. The luau had a nice size and a sense of unity. Since the audience was close to the stage, perhaps for safety reasons, the fire dance lost some of its intensity as the flames diminished while being twirled.

Still, both the male and female dancers delivered powerful and high-quality performances, and a three-member Hawaiian band entertained us with pleasant music during the opening and intermissions. Some comments mentioned that the event was long, and I agree it might not be suitable for children.

During the meal, they came around selling the photos taken at the beginning for $20. Being a tourist, I bought one generously, but I wished they had paid more attention to the background and composition. I forgot to reconfirm the reservation the day before and hurriedly called that morning, but it seemed there was no issue.

Participating on our last night in Hawaii was definitely the right choice. Next time, I want to study more so I can understand English better and visit again.

三年前に同じ地域の別ホテルのルアウに参加しましたが、それより良かった。開場し記念撮影と各種ポリネシアン文化に軽く触れられるワークショップ形式のブースがちらほら。ヘナのスタンプ(おそらくヘナではない、その夜に濡れティッシュで簡単に落ちた)、けん玉?のような遊具やボードゲームなど。ヘナだけ体験し、無料のカクテルを飲んでいるとテーブルへ案内されます。8名掛けの円卓に我々夫婦とイギリスから来たという4名のグループが同席。旅行英会話程度の我々でもだいたい理解できる英語でMCが進行してくれます。
同席のイギリス人の英語が分かりづらいのと私の真後ろにスピーカーがあったので会話に難儀しました。程よい広さで一体感のあるルアウ。客席が近いから安全性を重視するのか、ファイアーダンスは振り回しているうちに火が小さくなっていってやや迫力に欠けます。
それでも男女とも迫力と完成度高いダンスパフォーマンスに圧倒されますし、三人編成のハワイアンバンドが前座、幕間を程よい音楽で楽しませてくれます。他者のコメントで時間が長いとありましたが、確かにお子さん向けではないかな。
食事の途中、最初に撮影した写真を$20で売りに回ってきます。おのぼりさんですから気前良く買いましたが背景など構図をもっと気にしてほしかったです。前日のリコンファームを失念し当日朝に慌てて電話しましたが問題なかったようです。
ハワイ島最後の夜に参加して大正解でした。次回、もっと英語が聞き取れるよう勉強して再訪したいです。

their lights were dim compared to other companies, and they went in much earlier than the other boats.

Reply from activity provider

Thank you for reviewing your tour with us. The lights we use are quite powerful, we do place a special blue filter over them to attract more of the microscopic plankton which the mantas' appear to prefer over the larger zooplankton, that may be why they appeared to be dim by comparison.

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾 シュノーケリングツアー <軽食付き/英語ガイド>

I swam with sea turtles. 海ガメと泳げた

Reviewed by: まるちゃん

The staff spoke only English, but we had the boat to ourselves with just the two of us. On the way to the snorkeling spot, they stopped at sightseeing spots visible from the boat. Unfortunately, we only saw the dorsal fins of the dolphins. It was a watching tour, not a swimming with dolphins tour, so that's understandable.

Please make sure to print out your reservation and bring it with you; confirmation screens on smartphones are not accepted. Also, since you will be sitting on the edge of the boat and traveling for about an hour, it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

The water temperature is low, and it gets quite chilly after snorkeling, so please bring a jacket and a bath towel. We snorkeled at two locations and had light snacks twice, which was great!

スタッフさんは英語のみでしたが、参加は私たちも二人で貸し切り
シュノーケリングスポットに着くまでにも、ボートから見える観光スポットに寄ってくださいました>^_^< イルカは残念ながら背ひれしか見えませんでした イルカと泳ぐツアーではなく、ウォッチングなのでしょうがないですね

あとはボートのヘリに座るし、1時間くらい移動するので酔い止めの薬を飲んでおくといいです

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

A stunning experience for all

Reviewed by: Amber Bialy

My husband and I were both nervous, I get seasick and he has a fear of deeper water and has never snorkeled. Captain Morgan was amazing and the crew was super reassuring. They gave me ginger candy when I got on. I only felt a little queasy, it wasn't as bad as I thought. Short ride and they got us in the water and we had a full display of barrel rolls by 2 mantas! My husband had an amazing time and he enjoyed it more than he thought he would. He would do it again! You stay in the water for a reasonable amount of time, I got out a tad early but we went back shortly after. Tea, soda and fresh pineapple was offered. A MUST do and I couldn't ask for a better crew. Bring your own goggles and snorkel if you have them, some masks leaked a little. Worth it even if you get seasick (lots of ginger and dramamine!)
Pick a day with no wind as Well! We had a great experience.

プライベートチャーター ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング+イルカウォッチングツアー!GoProレンタルあり<午前/日本語ガイド>

I had a very happy and amazing experience. とても幸せな最高の体験ができました。

Reviewed by: AYAKA

Swimming with dolphins has been a dream of mine on Hawaii Island for years, and this was my first trip to Hawaii Island!! However, just before departure, there were reports of orca sightings, which gave me a strange feeling... Still, once we set sail, it felt wonderful and fun to cut through the wind and move across the sea.

As the boat progressed, both the captain and the guide gathered a lot of information and did everything possible to create a miracle. Although I didn't get to see any dolphins, they took us to a beautiful spot where we could go snorkeling.

Then came the much-anticipated second day. Since we were dealing with nature, I wasn't sure if we would see dolphins again, but I really wanted to go. And then, finally, the dolphins appeared!! I was so happy and excited that I swam with the dolphins, following the captain and guide's instructions, finding the best positions and timing over and over again.

This incredible experience was thanks to the dolphins and, above all, the two captains and the guide who worked hard to entertain us for two full days. I want to come back to Hawaii Island and join the same tour again. Thank you so much!!

イルカと泳ぐのはハワイ島♡と何年も前から決めており、今回初ハワイ島旅行!!
しかし、出港前にシャチの目撃情報があり怪しい予感…。それでも出港したら風を切りながら海を進むのが心地よくて楽しくて。
船を進める中、キャプテンもガイドさんもたくさんの情報収集をして奇跡を起こすための最善のことを全てしてくれました。
イルカには会えなかったけど、素敵な場所へ連れて行ってくれてシュノーケリングをできました。
そしてリベンジの2日目。
自然相手なので2日目も会えるかは分からないけど、とにかく行きたかった。
そしてそして念願のイルカの登場!!とにかく嬉しくて幸せでキャプテンとガイドさんの指示で夢中でイルカと泳ぎました。何度も何度もベストなポジションとタイミングで泳ぎました。
こんな幸せな経験をできたのはイルカたちとそして、何より2日間全力で私たちを楽しませてくれたキャプテン2名とガイドさんのおかげです。
またハワイ島へ来てまた同じツアー参加したいです。本当にありがとうございました!!

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

Manta ray with NO CRUISE

Reviewed by: Steve

Crew was very nice and captain had a great story, but we were ones that had little luck with manta's. We did see one or two, but it took a full hour in water, where some of my party began to get sick and missed it. The most disappointing part was absolutely no cruise. Do not expect a cruise. We coasted for 5 min and went out where I could snorkel on my own. I really thought we would sail for a bit and get snacks instead of one piece of pineapple. Understand you are hanging onto a ladder the whole time. I get it for safety reasons, but not what I expected. There is no real snorkeling where your swimming around. No boat lights other then ladder. I felt we were using other boats lights, where we were the last ones to ever see anything, unless we got lucky. Our ladder had lights. I thought this was also a 3 to 4 hour tour. It took 5 or 10 min. To get where we were going, then hour in water, then go home. No drinks on this, and hit and miss with hot chocolate. I highly recommended actually sailing first and open the sails like they said would happen and choosing this boat in the first place. My party was disappointed. My kids were troopers and stayed out with me and saw the one manta, before turning back where the rest of the people holding onto the ladder didn't see it. At least give us a cruise first with this cool boat.

Thank you for taking the time to review your manta tour. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the staff and also sorry to hear you did not fully enjoy the trip. We, unfortunately, do not always get the opportunity to sail prior to the manta tour. As stated on the website, factors such as mooring availability water conditions and weather play a great part in what happens on each individual tour. If I could have it my way, every night we would have just enough wind cruise out to sea while watching a glorious sunset (No rain). Return back to the manta site to find our mooring available, at this point the wind would calm and the sea would be flat and upon entering the water all of Kona's manta rays would gather under our raft for the entire hour. Everyone would be happy, but alas this does not happen as often as I wish it would.

Reviewed by: AKKIE.O

I actually wanted to go horseback riding in Waipi'o Valley, but I couldn't make a reservation, so I gave up. I was able to make a reservation for horseback riding at the ranch, so I participated here instead. They didn't speak any Japanese at all, but they explained things in simple English with smiles, so I hardly had any trouble. They provide Western boots, socks, parkas, jackets, and bags, so you can go hands-free without any issues. I left my valuables with them, but I took a drink, camera, and phone in my bag. Sneakers would be fine, but I think it's better to borrow boots. I had my own socks, so I wore those. Did we ride for about 1.5 hours? We galloped and trotted around the vast ranch grounds. Since my husband was almost a beginner, I thought we would just walk, but he looked at the situation and asked if we wanted to try running, and we did a few times. The horses do gauge people to some extent, but they are calm and listen well, so I wasn't particularly worried. They smiled and said, "Come back again next year!" Thank you very much! I want to come again!

ハワイ島 ジップライン体験8本 ワールド・ボタニカル・ガーデンの中を滑走 <英語インストラクター>

First zip line 初ジップライン

Reviewed by: ディー

The staff were all cheerful and kind. It felt great to glide over the forest under the blue sky. However, the time slot I reserved was likely at maximum capacity, and we had to wait quite a bit each time we went to the new zip line. They said it would take about one to one and a half hours, but it ended up taking nearly two hours.

But since we could enjoy the scenery, I think it was still good? There was also an elderly American grandmother who was trying it for the first time, making it a zip line experience that the whole family could enjoy.

スタッフは皆さん明るく親切でした。青い空の下、森の上を滑走する感じが気持ちよかったです。ただ、予約した回が、おそらく、マックスの参加人数で、新しいジップラインに行くたびにかなり待たされました。1時間から1時間半、と言われていましたが、2時間近くかかりました。
でも、風景も楽しめたから、良かったかな?かなり年配のアメリカ人のおばあちゃまも初挑戦されていて、家族で楽しめるジップラインでした。

A show worth watching. 見応えのあるショー

Reviewed by: ころなり

I was able to see the dances of each island in the Pacific, learning about their similarities and differences. There were also efforts made to ensure participants enjoyed themselves, such as celebrating birthdays and cheering together.
The meals offered a considerable variety, and even taking small portions resulted in quite a large amount. As mentioned in previous experiences, the order in which you go to get food is determined by your seating, so it’s not an all-you-can-eat situation from the start time. It might have been tough waiting and getting hungry (laughs).
If you don’t have the opportunity to see traditional shows (or have never eaten traditional cuisine) during your stay, I think this is a great option.

太平洋の島々のそれぞれの踊りを見せてくれて、似たところ違うところを知ることが出来ました。参加者の誕生日を祝ったり、一緒に掛け声をかけたりなど参加者が楽しむための工夫もされています。
食事は結構な種類があり、少しずつ取ってもかなり大量になります。前の体験談にもあるように席によって食事をとりにいく順番が決まっていますので、スタート時刻から食べ放題と言う訳ではありません。待っている間におなかへってツラかったかな(笑)。
滞在中に伝統的なショーを見る機会がない(または伝統料理を食べたことがない)なら、いいとおもいます。

ハワイ島 乗馬ツアー コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬! <午前・午後/英語ガイド>by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

First canter experience. 初めての駈歩体験

Reviewed by: まるみ

We signed up for the 2.5-hour course for four family members. We gathered at 8:30 and arrived at the meeting point on time, but since the group for the 1.5-hour course, which was scheduled for 9:30, arrived before 9:00, we ended up starting with them and had to wait for nearly an hour after we were ready... During that time, there was no explanation given.

After being taught how to handle the horses, we set off. We all climbed up the highlands together. The weather was nice, and the views were great. We walked briskly several times, and about an hour passed.

As mentioned in other people's posts, we were wondering if we would also be on the 1.5-hour course, but along the way, we were told, "They go Long Course," and we took a different route. The other group descended and went back.

We continued to climb higher into the highlands and experienced a canter for the first time. It was for a short time, but it was an incredible speed and vibration, and I clung on desperately to avoid falling off the horse, making it a valuable experience.

After that, we arrived at a scenic viewpoint. We took photos with Maui Island in the background, with mountains and the sea, before descending. The actual riding time was about 2 hours and 15 minutes.

I think it would be less confusing if the 1.5-hour course was labeled as the "Standard Course" and the 2.5-hour course as the "Long Course." The horseback riding itself was five stars due to the perfect weather and location, but the local staff's response was somewhat lacking, so I give it four stars.

2.5時間コースに家族4人で申し込みました。
8時半集合で時間通りに集合場所に行きましたが、9時半集合の1.5時間コースのグループが9時前に到着したために、結局その人達と一緒にスタートすることになり、準備が出来てから1時間近く待たされることに…
その間なんの説明もありませんでした。
馬の扱い方を教えてもらって出発。皆で高原をどんどん登って行きます。
天気も良く、見晴らしも良好。途中何度か速歩をしながら1時間ほどがすぎました。
他の人の投稿にもあるように、自分たちも1.5時間コースになるのかなぁと思っていましたが、途中で「They go Long Course」と言われ自分たちは別のルートへ。他のグループは下山し帰っていきました。
更に高原を登って行き、途中で初めての駈歩を体験。少しの時間でしたが、すごい速さと振動に馬から落ちないよう必死にしがみつきましたが貴重な体験となりました。
その後絶景ポイントに到着。マウイ島が見晴らせる場所で山と海をバックに写真撮影をし下山となりました。
正味の乗馬時間は2時間15分程。
1.5時間コースは「標準コース」2.5時間コースは「ロングコース」とした方が誤解がないのではと思います。
乗馬自体は最高の天気、ロケーションで星5つですが、現地の人の対応がいまいちなので星4つです。

Deluxe Volcanoes National Park Experience, Black Sand Beach & Restaurant Dinner

Kailani tours deluxe Volcano and Stars

Reviewed by: Michelle Jarrett

Deluxe is the word! As if the natural awesomeness of a live volcano,a national park and stars was not enough this trip also includes a tasty picnic lunch and a 5 star dining experience for dinner. Add to this an extremely knowledgeable guide who serenades you with ukulele, tells amazing Hawaiian myths, provides astronomical binoculars to improve photographs taken on your phones and cameras of a live volcano at night and leads a sing-along on the way home.
This was a long day but easily the best tour our family has ever taken. Booking via Veltra tours was easy, even from overseas.

  • The volcano is a living thing. Wow!!

Dolphin イルカ

Reviewed by: ako

My first snorkeling experience with dolphins was exhilarating. We traveled to the spot by boat, and the weather was perfect, making the journey even more enjoyable! Once we arrived, the guide observed the dolphins' movements and chose the best spot for us to dive in. Dolphins swam right in front of us, and as I looked around, I spotted a mother and baby dolphin below me. They even came close to me, which was incredibly exciting. The guide swam with the dolphins, and it was truly amazing. I definitely want to do this again when I visit the Big Island!

初のイルカとのシュノーケリング、ワクワクで参加。
ポイントまで、ボードで移動。天気にも恵まれて移動中も気分は最高‼️
ポイントについて、ガイドの方がイルカの動きを見て、ベストな所でダイブイン。目の前をイルカが通過したり、周りをキョロキョロしてると、自分の下の方に親子連れのイルカがいたり、自分の近くまで近寄ってきたりと大興奮です。ガイドの方は、イルカと一緒に泳いだりしていて、本当に凄かった。
またハワイ島に行ったらやりたいと思いました。
