All Reviews for Kailua-Kona

Cruising while being blown by the sea breeze was very pleasant. The view of Hawaii Island from the ocean was also wonderful. Along the way, a pod of about five or six dolphins came close and swam right by us, which was a bit moving. The snorkeling was beautiful with its blue waters, but it was a bit disappointing that there weren't many fish. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable the cruising was, and I felt glad to have participated.

潮風に吹かれながらのクルージングはとても気持ちよかったです。海から見るハワイ島の景色もすばらしかったです。途中イルカも５，６頭寄ってきてすぐそこを泳いでいるのが見れてちょっと感動でした。シュノーケルは青くてきれいでしたが、ちょっと魚がいない感じでそこは残念でしたが、クルージングが意外に気持ちよくて参加してよかったと思いました。

It was the best.
The guide's knowledge, the beautiful starry sky and sunset.
It became the best memory.
I'm glad I participated.

最高でした。
ガイドさんの知識、美しい星空と夕景。
最高の思い出になりました。
参加してよかったです。

We were on our honeymoon, looking for something to do, this was so unique! Who would of thought we would be in a parka in Hawaii! Pick this company! There were many up there, but these guys did it best, so thankful we paid a bit more and got an awesome experience. Staff was wonderful, thank you!

I had some anxiety about the announcements being in English only, but on that day, there happened to be a Japanese group with us, and the guide translated for us, so there were no problems at all.

Kealakekua Bay was amazing. The sea was so beautiful that my 7-year-old and 4-year-old said it was the most fun they’ve ever had. Even my husband, who isn’t very comfortable in the water, really enjoyed it. The slide was quite high and not suitable for small children, but my older child took on the challenge. I tried it too, but... young guys were sliding down like crazy.

The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and the boat didn’t rock too much, which was great. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see any dolphins, but we will definitely go again next time. I highly recommend it.

英語のアナウンスのみと言うことで多少の不安がありましたがこの日はたまたま日本の団体が一緒でガイドさんが通訳してくれたので何の問題もありませんでした。

ケアラクア湾は最高でした。
とにかく海が綺麗で７歳と４歳の子供達も一番楽しかったと言ってます。
あまり海が得意でない夫もとっても楽しんでました。
滑り台は結構な高さがあり、小さい子には不向きですが上の子はチャレンジしてました。私もやりましたが・・・・
若い男子がガンガンすべってました。
お昼のハンバーガーもおいしくて船もあまり揺れず、よかったです。
残念ながらイルカには会えなかったけど次もまた絶対行きます。お勧めです。

I went with my 6-year-old and 4-year-old, and both of them enjoyed floating in the sea. The activities were enjoyable for the kids as well. We were the only Japanese people there, but it wasn't a problem at all. Grandpa just watched, but the boat was large enough to provide shade, so waiting was comfortable.

６歳と４歳の子供連れでしたが、二人とも海でぷかぷか。
子供にも楽しめる内容でした。
日本人は私達だけですが、特に問題はなかったです。
ジージは見ているだけなのですが、船が大きいので日陰があり
待つのも安心でした。

We were looking forward to our first adventure in Hawaii... an official Luau. It was a lot of fun and we enjoyed the history of the story telling. However, one downside was that we were instructed and confirmed to go to one hotel and when we arrived early to check in were told there was no show there that night... after going through channels we were told to go to another hotel and we checked in without issue. The evening was pleasant, we met other families and enjoyed the fun. The food was good but nothing too special but the atmosphere was pleasant, the breeze warm and the mai tai's cold! We enjoyed the experience overall.

I found Hawaii Activities on the internet and went with it. I was a little worried that I was not going to get what I paid for but I was more than pleasantly surprised. When we arrived our Greeter was there with the sign just like the instructions said they would be. It was a simple pleasure for my family, especially my daughter. The woman who greeted us was beautiful and as kind as anyone we've ever met! We couldn't have asked for a better welcome to Hawaii. Thank you!

My first time on the Big Island. It's a tropical island just a half-hour flight from Oahu. I was amazed by the island that looked like it was covered in chocolate from the airplane. Once there, it was all about relaxing and taking it easy. The marina with the Zodiac tour was a continuous source of excitement for someone like me who loves machines and mechanics. I was captivated by the moving lathes and milling machines in the repair shop. A round of applause for the behind-the-scenes workers at the resort. The American workers in their uniforms looked cool too.

Now, the rafting on the boat was a blast, zooming over the waves with a cheerful captain and staff. It was simply fun. Not only did we speed along, but we were also gentle with the dolphins and whales we spotted in the waves. The staff mentioned that it's rare to see whales so close. (The timing was so perfect, it felt like they were kept in the Zodiac.) The snorkeling was incredible, probably due to the clear waters around the lava coast. The bay had little current, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults. On the way back, there was no time to get seasick as we sped back. Thank you for a wonderful day. Mahalo.

初めてのハワイ島。オアフ島より半時間ほどのフライトでつくトロピカルな島。飛行機から見るチョコレートを流したような島にびっくり。過ごせば、のんびり、ゆったり。このツアーのソディアックのあるマリーナは、機械、メカが大好きな小生には、感激の連続。旋盤、フライス盤の動いている修理工場に見入った。リゾートの裏方に拍手。作業服のアメリカ人もカッコイイ。さて、ボートでのラフティングは、陽気なキャプテン、スタッフとともに、バンバン波の上をブッ飛ばす。アーア楽しいの一言。飛ばすだけでなく、波に見えるイルカ、クジラには優しく。クジラがこんな身近で見られるのは、スタッフも珍しいとのこと。（ソディアックで飼っているいるのかと思われるようなタイミングのよさ）シュノーケルも溶岩の海岸のためか、海の透明度がすごい。湾の流れも少なく、子どもも大人も楽しめる。帰りのボートも船酔いする暇もなく、すっ飛ばす。楽しい一日をありがとう。マハロ

I saw a manta ray for the first time in Hawaii. I heard that the chances of seeing one are close to 100%. Since I had my child with me, I was relieved that we were able to see it. However, the briefing on the boat before diving was quite long, and my wife and child started to feel sick, so I think the briefing should be shorter. That said, I was surprised at how close it came, almost touching my legs. I think seeing a manta ray is worth it, but maybe just once?

　初めてのハワイでマンタを見ました。見ることができる確率は１００％に近いと聞いていま。子供がいたので、見ることができホッとしました。ただ、潜るまでのレクチャーが、船上で長く行われたため、ワイフと子供が気持ちが悪いと言い出したので、船上レクチャーは短めにしたほうがいいと思いました。それにしても足に触るぐらいまで近くに来たのでビックリ。マンタは一度でいいかな？でも見る価値はあると思います。

I participated with my husband and son. I had done rafting in a river before, but I had never done it in the ocean, so I was excited to see what it would be like. Since it was my first time going to the meeting point, I was a bit anxious, but I was able to find it right away as directed. The captain only spoke English, but we received detailed printed information in advance, so I didn't have any issues. However, I thought it would have been more fun if I understood the language better.

When we set off, I thought it was a rafting and snorkeling tour, but we encountered a whale once and dolphins two times. It was very exciting since I hadn't expected it. The dolphins jumped while spinning their bodies several times. They were very playful. Seeing a whale in person was also a first-time experience for me, and it was very moving. We enjoyed rafting both to and from the location, and we had plenty of time for snorkeling, about an hour and a half, with lots of fish around. It's rare to find a tour that offers such experiences. I think the cost performance is good as well. I highly recommend it.

However, the boat stops at certain points, and the waves can make you feel a bit nauseous. It moves quickly, so it's okay, but since you spend five hours on the boat or in the sea, if you're worried, it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication. The sun is also strong, and there is nothing to block it, so I think it's best to prepare well for that before participating.

夫と息子と私の３人で参加しました。川でのラフティングはしたことがありましたが、海ではしたことがなく、どんなのかわくわくして参加しました。現地集合で初めて行くところなので不安がありましたが、案内されたとおりで、すぐにみつけることができました。キャプテンは英語しか話せませんが、事前に詳しいプリントといただけるので、困ることはありませんでした。でも言葉が分かれば、もっと楽しいだろうなと思いました。出発するとラフティングとシュノーケルのツアーと思って参加したのですが、クジラ１回といるか２回に出会えました。期待していなっただけにとても盛り上がりました。いるかは、何度もくるくる体を回転させながらジャンプしていました。サービス精神満点のいるかでした。くじらも生で見るのは初めての経験で、とても感動しました。ラフティングも行きと帰りに楽しみ、シュノーケルもたっぷり１時間半ぐらい時間があり、魚もいっぱいでした。これだけ体験できるツアーはなかなかないです。コストパフォーマンスもいいと思います。お勧めです。ただポイントでボートが停まってくれるのですが、波でゆれ気分が悪くなることもありました。すぐに動くので大丈夫ですが、５時間はずっとボートか海の上で過ごすので、心配な方は酔い止めを飲んでおくと安心です。日差しも強く遮ってくれるものもないので、対策は、しっかりして参加するといいと思います。

This was a very unique experience for us. We felt in very good hands with our guides, considering we were in the open Ocean! Everyone was very friendly, and were quick to point out a pod of dolphins and their new baby! Totally awesome!

Wonderful experience! Felt a bit rushed with having our dinner. Not enough bath room breaks, especially after having a cup of coffee after star gazing and then having a two hour drive back to our hotels, made for a very uncomfortable ride home.

We participated as a family of three. The car was full. The staff who provided the transportation was very good at talking, and we enjoyed ourselves during the ride. The miso soup in the bento during the break was delicious. It seemed that the conditions on the day we participated were good, and the temperature was a bit high. Still, it was quite cold at night without winter clothing. After getting off near the summit, we walked a little more to reach the top's cairn. It was my first summit!!! The altimeter indeed showed over 4000 meters. During the stargazing, we descended a bit to avoid disturbing the observatory. Since the moon was not out at that time, we were able to fully enjoy the starry sky. After living for several decades, I was able to see the Milky Way and my first shooting star with my own eyes.

家族３人で参加。車は満席でした。送迎スタッフはとても話が上手な方で、車中でも楽しませていただきました。途中休憩のお弁当のお味噌汁が美味しかったです。参加した日は好条件だったようで少し気温が高めだったようです。それでも防寒着なしで夜の寒さは厳しいですね。山頂近くで下車してから残り少し歩いて頂上のケルンへ。初登頂！！！。高度計は確かに４０００ｍ以上を示していました。星空観察時には天文台の邪魔にならないよう少し下山。月もでていない時間帯だったこともあり、星空を堪能することができました。○十年生きていて、初天の川と初流れ星を目で見ることができました。

We participated with our children who are in the second and third grades. Although we couldn't communicate in Japanese, we managed just fine. Thanks to taking motion sickness medication before boarding, we didn't get seasick and arrived at the snorkeling spot. When they asked for our fin sizes, it was hard to communicate in centimeters, so I recommend checking the sizes in inches beforehand. They also provided floaties and other floating devices. The cheeseburger for lunch was delicious.

On the way back, we were accompanied by a lot of dolphins, and they were even right under the boat, which really impressed the kids. As parents, we felt like kids again and enjoyed jumping into the sea from the boat's slide, taking our time to relax.

We were quite tired, so we ended up taking a nap at the hotel in the afternoon. I think it's better not to schedule anything after that.

小学2年と3年の子供と家族で参加しました。日本語は通じないけれど、なんとかなりました。酔い止めの薬を飲んで乗船したおかげか、船酔いもせずにシュノーケルスポットにつきました。フィンのサイズを聞かれたときに、ｃｍでは通じないので、インチのサイズを調べておくといいと思います。浮き輪も浮き具もあります。ランチのチーズバーガーも美味しかったです。
帰りにイルカがたくさん併走してくれて、船の真下にもいたので子供たちはとっても感動していました。親も、子供にかえった気分で船の滑り台から海に飛び込んで、のんびりと満喫しました。
結構疲れたのか、午後はホテルで昼寝をするくらいだったので、その後には予定をいれないほうがいいと思います。

I knew that the moon would be nearly full during my vacation, but I was disappointed with the stargazing results. A new moon would have been best, and I regret not considering the moonrise time.

Japanese people love moon viewing, so the moon I saw from the summit of Mauna Kea was wonderful. At the same time, the observatories floating in the evening scenery were beautiful.

I don't think there was much concern about altitude sickness, but as regular trail runners, we got a bit carried away and quickly became out of breath while running up the mountain path (laughs).

Mauna Kea looks close, but it's a distant mountain that requires someone to take you there. It was a great experience. If I have the chance to go again, I want to experience a sky full of stars, where the stars alone are bright, and see shooting stars continuously. It was comparable to the starry sky in Tokyo...

まず休暇の日程ありで仕方なく月はほぼ満月なのは知っていましたが星空はがっかりな結果になりました。新月なのがベストですが、月の出時間も検討していけばよかったと反省です。
お月見は日本人は好きですからマウナケアの頂上で見た月はすばらしかった。同時に夕景に浮かぶ天文台群も美しい。

高山病の心配はほとんどないと思うのですが普段トレランをする私たちが調子に乗って頂上への山道を走ったらあっという間に息が上がりました（笑）

マウナケアは近くに見えても遠い山で連れてきてもらわなければいけません。いい経験をしました。もし次回があったら満天の星、星だけで明るいという経験、流れ続ける星なんていうのを経験したいもんです。東京での星空なみでしたから。。

When I first boarded the Zodiac rubber boat, I was a bit shaky and squealed, but gradually I started to feel exhilarated no matter how fast we went or how much we bounced. I knew I couldn't keep my hat on, but even the hood of my rash guard came off.

We jumped into the deep blue sea, far from land. The water was crystal clear up to my feet, but beyond that, it turned a deep navy blue. I wondered just how deep it was. The water felt so soothing that when I relaxed, my body floated effortlessly. It was an incredible sense of liberation.

Snorkeling around the Captain Cook Monument was also fantastic. It felt like being thrown into a tropical fish tank. However, for us Japanese, it might have been a bit too long. Watching families from Russia and the mainland continue to jump in and have fun made me wonder how much longer we would be there. (Sorry if I seem a bit out of sync.)

The captain kept speaking in English, but I couldn't see his face and the wind made it hard to understand. It wasn't a problem, though. I thought it might be fun to understand and respond like a native, but I don't really do that even in Japanese.

Towards the end, we encountered a pod of dolphins. They seemed so free. I was very satisfied.

Despite being careful about sunburn, my thighs and knees (from sitting) ended up getting sunburned bright red. For those who will participate in the future, wearing a long dress that is easy to put on and take off over your swimsuit might be safer. If you're concerned about getting tanned, this activity might not be for you.

ゴムボートのゾディアック号に最初乗った時は少々揺れてもキャーキャーしていましたがだんだんスピードがどんなに出ても飛び跳ねても爽快に感じるようになりました。帽子はかぶっていられないことはわかっていましたがラッシュガードのフードも脱げてしまいます。

陸地から遠く離れ海のど真ん中でただただ碧い海に飛び込みました。足もとまでくっきり透き通って見えるのにその先は濃紺、いったいどれほどの深さなのでしょう。とろりと感じるぐらいの水、脱力すると簡単に体は浮きます。ものすごい解放感。


キャプテンクック記念碑の周りでのスノーケリングもすばらしかった。まるで熱帯魚の水槽の中に放り込まれたようでした。でも我々日本人には冗長すぎる時間かもしれません。いつまでもはしゃいで飛び込んだりし続けるロシアやメインランドからの家族を船の上から見ながらいつまでここにいるのかなと思うようになります。（ノリが悪いのかすみません）

キャプテンがしゃべりつづけてる英語は顔も見ていないし風にも吹かれているしまるで理解できませんね~。それで困ることはありません。理解できてネイティブ並みに反応できたら楽しいかとも思いますが（もともと日本語でもそういう乗り突っ込みはしないですからね）

最後のころにイルカの群れに会えました。自由を感じるイルカたちでした。大満足でしたね。

日焼けに気をつけていたにもかかわらず腿がひざが（座っているから）真っ赤に火傷してしまいました。これから参加される方は水着の上に簡単に脱ぎ着できるなが~いワンピを着て参加すると安全かもしれません。美白を気にする人は参加無理です。

I participated in early August, and on that day, I saw three manta rays up close, almost as if they were going to bump into us. Due to the sunset, we gathered at the office in the shopping center at 6:30 PM and set sail at 7 PM. After checking in at the office in the shopping center and renting wetsuits, we moved to the boat ramp at Keauhou Bay individually. The water was quite cold, but the beautiful and powerful swimming of the manta rays made it worth it. It was a good decision to stay at the Sheraton within walking distance since we disbanded while still wet. We were the only Japanese participants.

8月初めに参加し、その日は3匹のマンタが、ぶつかるかな？・・というくらい近くで見えました。
日没の関係と思いますが、18時半ショッピングセンター内の事務所集合、19時出航でした。
ショッピングセンター内事務所でチェックインをして、ウエットスーツを借りた後は、
各自でケアウホウ湾のボートランプへ移動しました。
水中は、かなり寒かったですが、マンタの泳ぐ美しい姿と迫力は、それ以上のものがありました。
濡れたまま解散なので、ホテルを徒歩圏内のシェラトンにして、正解でした。
日本人参加者は、私たちだけでした。

This time, we participated as a family of four. The snorkeling tour we usually join involves a large boat that takes us to the location, where we enjoy ourselves, but this tour felt like the attractions began as soon as we boarded the boat. The boat was thrilling, and during the hour of bouncing over the waves, I had to hold on tightly or I felt like I might be thrown off. Once we arrived at the Captain Cook Memorial, it was truly a snorkeling paradise. The water was very clear, allowing us to see deep down to the ocean floor, so anyone can expect to see at least 15 different types of tropical fish. It's a tour that the kids can enjoy as well.

今回は家族４人で参加しました。いつも参加するシュノーケリングツアーは大きな船でポイントまで移動して、その場で楽しんでいるんですが、このツアーはボートに乗り込んだ時から既にアトラクションが始まっているという感じです。ボートは迫力満点で、波間をすり抜けて１時間くらい揺られている間ずっとしっかり捕まっていないと振り落とされそうになります。また、キャプテンクック記念碑の所に到着したらまさにシュノーケルバラダイスです。透明度は高く海底の深くまで見渡せますので、誰でも最低１５種類くらいの熱帯魚を観ることが出来ます。子供達にも十分楽しめるツアーです。

The weather was nice, and I was able to enjoy a sky full of stars. The staff were kind and helpful. I had a headache, possibly due to the altitude, but it went away once I came down. I think my child had a great experience as well.

お天気も良く、満天の星空を堪能出来ました。スタッフの方も親切で良かったです。高度の為か頭痛がしましたが、降りてきたら治りました。子供も良い経験が出来たと思います。

On July 23, I participated with my two children. Since they are elementary school students, we were looking for a tour where Japanese was spoken, and we ended up here.

As everyone had said, Kevin and Noni were very kind and attentive, and they seemed very experienced in handling children. We enjoyed both kayaking and snorkeling.

Especially for snorkeling, it was the first time for my children to be in 6 to 7 meters deep water. At first, they looked very nervous, but within five minutes, they were floating on their own. I believe this was not only due to the clear sea, corals, and small fish, but also because of Kevin and Noni's excellent guidance.

Additionally, while regular beaches tend to have sand that stirs up and clouds the water, being near the lava coast meant there was none of that, and the visibility was great. Joining the tour was definitely the right choice.

When going as just a family, there can be various concerns, but with a tour, I felt reassured, so I would like to participate again.

7月23日に私と子供二人で参加しました。
子供たちは小学生なので日本語が通じるツアーを探していて、ここにたどり着きました。
参加してみると、皆さんの評判通りで、ケビンさんノニさんはとても親切丁寧で、子供たちの扱いにもとても慣れた感じで、カヤック、シュノーケリングともに楽しめました。
特にシュノーケリングは6m、7mの海の深さに初めてだった子供たちは、最初とても緊張した様子でしたが、5分も経たないうちに一人でプカプカしてました。
これも澄んだ海とサンゴと小魚たちはもちろんですが、ケビンさん、ノニさんの誘導が良かったのではと感じました。

また、普通の浜辺では砂が撒きあがって濁る傾向ですが、溶岩の海岸近くであればそれもなく、良く見えるとのことで、ツアーに参加して大正解でした。

家族だけで行くと、何かと不安ですが、ツアーだと安心できるので、また、参加したいと思います。

Guides fun and helpful. Snoring was great...lots of colorful fish. Kayaking was tiring and tough for a beginner, but it was doable. Wear water shoes and a waterproof camera and cash for a tip.

I had a great time. I thought it would be rafting, but I stayed completely dry and had a comfortable ride. We set out with three boats, and thanks to the captain's unique judgment, we were able to explore various courses. Of course, at certain points, all three boats came together, so it felt safe. The guides communicated entirely in English, but printed materials in Japanese were distributed beforehand, so even if you're not good at conversation, you'll be fine. The boat's speed was full throttle, so it was quite fast. Moreover, with the rolling, it was thrilling. You might worry about seasickness, but while moving, you can feel the wind all over your body, so you completely forget about it. Still, for those who are anxious, taking medication beforehand would be perfect. I thought snorkeling would be the same no matter where you swim, but the underwater world in places without people was completely different. After swimming here, the ocean in Waikiki felt just like Japan's Enoshima, and I didn't feel like diving. Please make sure to enter the waters of Kealakekua Bay.

とても楽しかったです。ラフティングと思ってましたが、身体は全く濡れることなく、快適なライディングでした。３隻での出港となりましたが、キャプテンの独自の判断でいろんなコースを巡ることが出来ました。もちろん、ポイントポイントでは３隻そろうのですから安心です。ガイドは全て英語でなされますが、事前に日本語で書かれたプリントが配布されますので、会話が不得意でも大丈夫です。ボートの速度はアクセル全開なので相当速いです。しかも、ローリング付きなのでスリル満点です。船酔いの心配があるかもしれませんが、走行中は全身で風を感じることができるので完全に忘れてしまいます。それでも不安な人は薬を飲んでおけば完璧でしょう。シュノーケリングはどこで泳いでも変わらないと思っていましたが、人が入らないところの水中は全く別世界でした。ここで泳いだら、ワイキキの海は日本の江ノ島と同じで、潜る気にはなりません。ぜひともケアラケクア湾の海には入って下さい。

I never expected it to be so thrilling when we set off from the bay. The boat moved slowly at first, and I was excited to see dolphins up close. With the signal of "Okay, here we go~," the boat suddenly sped up, and I felt a moment of fear. However, after a while, we arrived at the snorkeling spot, and when I started swimming, I was overwhelmed by how beautiful it was. The depth was also astonishing. We had lunch together, and it was so much fun to communicate with people from other countries. It was the best activity! I want to recommend it to everyone!

湾から出発するときは、まさかあんなにスリルがあるとは思ってもいなかったです。途中まではゆっくりボートが進み、イルカがすぐ近くにいてテンションがあがりました。「じゃあいくよ~」の合図で猛スピードでボートが進み始めて、ほんとに一瞬恐怖を感じました。ですが、しばらく走ってシュノーケリングの場所まで着き、いざ泳いでみたらあまりにもキレイで感動しました。深さにも圧倒されました。みんなでのランチがあってわいわい楽しくほかの国の人ともコミュニケーションがとれたり、最高のアクティビティでした！みんなにお勧めしたいです！

It's a tour that definitely takes time, but it's absolutely worth it.

It's like a different world. The stargazing spot is also different from other tours, as it's in a completely dark area, making the night sky truly exceptional.

　時間はかかるけどぜったいに行くべきツアーです。
　
別世界ですよ。
星空の観測場所も他のツアーとは違って真っ暗な場所なので星空も格別でした。

A wonderful trip, beautiful snorkelling, well organized by helpful and friendly staff, including a great photographer. We had a great time and can recommend this trip without reservation.

The sea of clouds was beautiful!

雲海がきれいでした！

The loco moco was delicious!

The waterfall was beautiful!

I was able to take a lot of pictures!

ロコモコ美味しかったです！

滝もきれいでした！

写真もいっぱいとってもらえました！

I participated with a friend.

As we got closer to the summit, the oxygen became thinner, and I started to feel anxious because I was out of breath even after just a little movement.

However, thanks to the staff's advice and the breaks we took along the way, I felt reassured and was able to participate comfortably.

The sunset and the starry sky were breathtaking, unlike anything I had ever seen before! I was especially moved by the beautiful colors of the sea of clouds during the sunset.

I was unsure about participating since I lack physical stamina and tend to get car sick, but now I’m glad I decided to join.

It will definitely be a lifelong memory.

I would love to participate again someday.

友達と２人で参加しました。

山頂に近ずくにつれ酸素が薄くなり、少し動いただけでも息があがってしまい不安になりました。

でも、スタッフさんのアドバイスがあったり、途中で何度か休憩をとってくれたり、いろいろ親切にしていただいて、安心して参加できました。

サンセットと星空は今までみたことがない絶景でとても感動です！！とくにサンセットの時、雲海がきれいな色に染まるところに感動しました。

体力に自身がないうえに、車酔いもするほうなので、参加するかどうか迷いましたが、今は参加できて良かったと思っています。

一生の思い出になること間違いなしです。

いつかまた、参加したいです。

I participated in a tour on July 24, 2011. My husband and I had done kayaking once during our honeymoon in Cairns, but it was the first time for our children. We had Kevin, who speaks fluent Japanese and has lived in Japan for 30 years, and Noni, teaching us one-on-one, so we had no worries at all! When I thought the kids might be a little hesitant, Kevin was considerate and took their hands to change the experience into snorkeling, which they enjoyed. I appreciate the thoughtful attention, possibly from his experience in Japan. During break time, there were plenty of snacks and pineapple juice, so we were all full! This tour is enjoyable for beginners, repeat visitors, families, and friends alike! Also, even if you're a beginner in English conversation, Kevin is there to help. Our family has become repeat participants in this tour and we want to join again.

As someone who has visited Hawaii 30 times, I highly recommend it! If you read this comment, please consider joining!

2011/07/24（日）にツアーに参加しました。
私と主人は新婚旅行のケアンズで1度カヤックをやりましたが、子供たちは初めてでした。
日本語ペラペラのケビンさん（日本在住暦30年）とノニさんがマンツーマンで教えていただけたので、全然不安はありませんでしたよ！！
子供が少しひるんでいるかな？と思うとケビンさんが気を利かせて、子供の手をとってシュノーケルを楽しみに変えてくれました。
日本にいらっしゃった経験なのか、決め細やかな気配りに感謝です。
お休み時間にはスナックやパイナップル・ジュースなどたくさんあってお腹いっぱいになりました！
ハワイ初心者、リピーター、ファミリー、友達同士でも、楽しく楽しめるツアーですよ！
あと、英会話初心者でもケビンさんがお相手していただけます。
私たち家族もコノツアーのリピーターになりました。また参加したいと思っています。

ハワイリピーター暦30回の私は言うのですから！
