This time on my solo trip, I went kayaking.
Unfortunately, there were no dolphins, but the views of Hualalai and Mauna Loa in the morning were absolutely beautiful!
The couple who joined me patiently waited for me, who was running a bit late, along with the guide, and I did my best to keep up.
On the way back, WiL helped by connecting my kayak since I was a bit tired.
I want to participate again next time and hope to encounter dolphins!
ひとり旅の今回は、カヤックに。
残念ながらイルカはいなかったけど、朝のフアラライやマウナロアがとても綺麗に見えて最高でした!
一緒に参加のご夫婦も、遅れ気味の私をガイドさんとともにのんびりと待ってくださり、一生懸命ついていきました♪
帰りは少し疲れた私のカヤックをWiLさんが連結してヘルプしてくださいました。
次もまた参加して、今度はイルカに遭遇したいです

It was our 2nd time at the summit after 14 years with your company and we were more concerned about the summit weather due to last time it was so windy and cold to stay outside of the car.
But, the weather this time thanks to god it was good to watch the sunset.
Our driver was so nice was caring, professional skill of guiding and a gentleman.
He was caring everyone.
This made our trip OUTSTANDING.
I would recommend this trip to anyone eligible it is good tour with a Mercedes 4WD van with 14 passengers.

This was a local tour on the Big Island of Hawaii. The original plan was to drive to the summit (4,200 meters) to watch the sunset, and then observe the stars in the night sky at another location.
However, at the visitor center (2,800 meters), the area was covered in clouds, and the road was closed, preventing us from reaching the summit. I had heard that the summit of Mauna Kea is above the clouds and has low weather risks, but I realized there is a risk of road closures along the way.
After that, we were able to observe the stars from a lower area (1,800 meters). We could see Saturn, and the night sky was magnificent.
ハワイ本島での現地ツアーです。元々の予定は、車で山頂(4200メートル)に登り日の入りを見学、その後別の場所で夜空で星を観察というものでした。
ところが、途中のビジターセンター(2800メートル)で辺りが雲に覆われて道路が閉鎖され、山頂に行けませんでした。マウナケア山頂は雲の上にあり天候リスクが少ないと聞いていましたが、途中の道が閉鎖されるリスクを認識しました。
その後、少し下った広場(1800メートル)で夜空の星を観察出来ました。土星も見え、星空は素晴らしかったです。
レビューをありがとうございます。ご意見をいただき感謝いたします。土星を見ながら星空を楽しんでいただけたことを嬉しく思います。今後のご利用をお待ちしております。
Mahalo for your review. We appreciate your feedback and are pleased you were able to stargaze and see Saturn! We look forward to hosting you in the future.

I had a very enjoyable time with the dolphins. I had many opportunities to touch them. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to swim while holding onto the dolphin's dorsal fin. It was listed as one of the activities, so I thought I would definitely be able to experience it, but I couldn't.

So from other reviews you know the lines are long, especially in the heat. Now they have water fountains, and it does move semi quickly. But it would make sense to have the vip's seated 1st, then the GA seats enter by sections.
This would help with standing in the sun for to long.
The show it self was fantastic! Very entertaining, and kept you wanting more.
My only gripe, is that I am diabetic, and needed to eat sooner than later, and since I was the last table to be sat, we were the last table to be approved to get up to the Buffet. Also there was no sugar free desserts. Other than that the foods I was able to eat was delicious and flavorful. But I did end up in the restroom for most of the evening once returned back to the room. Could have been that some foods were in the temp danger zone for to long.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I couldn't travel to Hawaii in 2020 and 2021, but I resumed my trips to Oahu in 2022 and 2023, and this time, it was my first trip to the Big Island in five years. As usual, I stayed at the Hilton resort in the Waikoloa area, but I felt that I couldn't truly experience the Big Island without seeing the traditional luau and hula Hawaiian show, which I also hadn't seen in five years. On the day of the event, it started drizzling, and as we transitioned from the first traditional hula show to dinner, the staff quickly distributed vinyl raincoats. By the time the Polynesian dancers' torch-lit group dance reached its peak, the rain had turned into a light mist, and most of the audience removed their raincoats. With the host's lively lead, the audience became one with the show and was filled with excitement. However, perhaps due to the rainy weather from the start, the program was moved up, and the audience participation hula was skipped, which was a bit disappointing.
コロナ禍で2020、2021年はハワイに行けなかったが、2022、2023年とオアフ島(ホノルル)で旅行を再開して、今回、5年ぶりのハワイ島旅行となった。いつもの様にワイコロア地区のヒルトンのリゾートに滞在したが、やはり伝統のルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショーを見ないとハワイ島に来た感じがしないと思い、これも5年ぶりの観覧となった。当日はスタートから小雨模様で、最初の伝統フラのショーから食事に切り替わる頃に、スタッフが手早くビニルのレインコートを配ってまわり、ポリネシアンダンサーのトーチを使った集団ダンスが佳境に入る頃には雨も細かい霧雨に変わり、観客の殆どがレインコートを脱ぎ去り、司会者の軽妙なリードで会場が一体となってショーに熱狂した。今回、スタートから雨模様のためか、プログラムの進行が全て前倒しで進められ、観客参加のフラがスキップされたりしたのが少々、残念であった。

I paddled quite a distance in a sea kayak. On the way, I encountered a pod of dolphins twice. They came so close that I could hear their breathing.
The guide got out of the canoe and led us through the waves of the cave, guiding our canoe into the cove. It was a sight that is not often seen.
On the way back, I encountered the pod of dolphins again, which was very lucky.
Snorkeling was also a lot of fun.
シーカヤックで結構な距離を漕ぎました。行く時にイルカの群れと2回遭遇。息遣いが聞こえるくらいまで近づいて来ました。
ガイドさんがカヌーから降りて、ケーブの波の合間に私達のカヌーをケープの中まで誘導してくれました。なかなか見られない光景を見ることができました。
帰りもイルカの群れに遭遇し、とてもラッキーでした。
シュノーケルもとても楽しかったです。

I'm embarrassed to say that I balked a little at first at the cost of this tour. Let me tell you, 15 minutes into the tour it felt like a total bargain.
The van was super comfortable and clean. We were running a little late and the tour guide called us to make sure we were going to make it. He was kind and understanding.
Our guide's make was Kea. He was the best guide of any tour I've taken in thirty years. So much local knowledge, and very generous with his experience and expertise. He made everyone on the trip feel like an individual. Also, he's hilarious.
The stargazing was simply mind blowing. It was like looking into deep space for nearly two hours. We lost count is the shooting stars after 15.
Kea was also very knowledgeable about the stars and the telescope we used was amazing. We saw nebulas, globular clusters, binary stars, and more.
After a long day, full bellies, and stargazing it was a real relief to have someone else driving us down the dark mountain.
I'll wrap things up by thanking our guide one more time. The quality of this tour really felt like it came from the quality of the person who shared his knowledge with us.

The staff speaks entirely in English, so I feel that listening skills in English are necessary. However, that also gives a sense of being in Hawaii, which is okay.
The snorkeling points are indeed beautiful, but I expected them to be clearer. Still, I think first-time snorkelers would be satisfied. It might be that the sea was rough due to rain the day before. I feel that the clarity of the sea increases when the sunny days continue.
There is plenty of time for snorkeling, and families with children can enjoy it a lot. There are also plenty of floatation devices, so kids can focus on snorkeling without the risk of drowning, which is reassuring.
The staff's service is perfect. Their response makes you want to give a tip. The meals on the boat are made with healthy ingredients, so I felt safe eating them. The operation was such that it was hard to get seasick.
スタッフが全て英語会話なので、英語のヒアリング力が必要な気がする。それもまたハワイ島に来た感じがしてオッケーな気もする。
シュノーケルポイントは確かに綺麗だが、
もっと透き通る綺麗さかと思っていたが、そうでもなかった。が、初めてのシュノーケルなら満足すると思う。もしかすると前日に雨が降った為、海が荒れていたのかも知らない。晴れの日が続くと海の綺麗さ増す気がする。
シュノーケルをする時間はたっぷりあり、子連れはかなり楽しめます。浮き輪なども充実しており、子供も溺れることなく、シュノーケルに集中出来るので安心。
スタッフのサービスは完璧。チップを渡したくなる対応だった。
船の食事は健康的な食材で、安心して食べれた。
船酔いはしにくい運航だった。
