All Reviews for Kailua-Kona

There were probably over 30 people participating on the same boat, but it was far too small to accommodate that many... We were packed in so tightly that there was hardly any space between the seats, and I was quite close to the person next to me.

同じ船で参加した方々が恐らく30人を超えていたのですが、30人乗るにはとても小さすぎる船でした…
いすの隙間がなくなるほど、ギチギチに座り、隣の方とかなり密着してました。

The Oceanfront Royal Kona Luau was so beautiful. I would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to see a beautiful sunset and a great performance. I absolutely loved the ambiance and the show. The food and food service was just ok and the event felt very touristy, so many people.

Absolutely amazing, a once in a lifetime experience made easy through this tour group. Easy to accommodate our special pickup needs, kind and knowledgeable guide. It was a guided tour, but plenty of time to wander and explore on our own. The stars and cocoa were amazing and the photos were first class that we received!! Highly recommend!!!! This was my sister's favorite activity during our week long Hawaii stay!!

I participated in a sea kayaking tour that started at 8 AM on August 1st. After getting on the kayak, I lost my balance and capsized within five minutes, but this turned out to be a good experience, as I was able to paddle smoothly afterward. The waves weren't too strong, and I was able to explore the underwater cave (Dragon's Throat), which was a great experience. Since it was just the two of us this time, Noni provided us with complete support. Thank you very much! After returning to the hotel in the afternoon, I was so tired that I slept well until dinner, but I really enjoyed it. I would love to participate again when I go to the Big Island. By the way, we are a couple in our late 50s, but we had no issues with physical stamina.

８月1日朝8時の集合でシーカヤック参加してきました。
乗り込んで、５分もせずバランスを崩して見事ひっくり返りましたが、これがいい経験になったのか、そのあとは順調にこぐことができました。
波もそんなになくて、海中洞窟（ドラコンスロート）にもしっかり入ってみることができとてもよい経験ができました。
今回は私たち2人だけの参加だったので、ノニさんに完全サポートをしていただきました。ありがとうございました！
昼過ぎにホテルに帰った後は、夕食までしっかり眠るほど疲れていたみたいですが、本当に楽しかったです。
また、ハワイ島に行ったら参加したいです。
ちなみに、50代後半の夫婦ですが、体力的には問題なかったです。

A smooth sail and comfortable ride. The crew was very professional and knowledgeable. I didn't think I'd want a pool noodle...but get the pool noodle. It helps alot unless you plan to free dive. The food and drinks were good and sandwiches are fine for a boat trip. Don't expect fine dining. Plenty of room on board, even if you feel it might fill up with guests. The crew was there to keep the boat clean as well. I'd recommend getting there early for parking, as there's only street parking and you might have to walk to get to the launch. Beautiful boat. Enjoyed the trip! Thanks!

This was a nice event to scratch off a tourist’s list. Great performances tied to Hawaiian and Polynesian culture. Food was good. Had options for kiddos.

My wife and I did this tour on our honeymoon. We come from the Midwest US and have not ever really been able to see many stars hence our booking this trip. The pickup location was convenient, the tour guide friendly and informative, and the experience overall was enjoyable. Would recommend to anyone going to try and book this tour as it was fun and definitely worth it.

It was amazing!
The service was excellent.
Their experience and knowledge were abundant, and I learned a lot.
I will definitely rely on them again next time.

最高でした！
サービス内容が素晴らしいです。
ご経験、知識も豊富で勉強にもなりました。
次もまたお世話になります。

The crew was awesome! They made sure everyone was safe and made accommodations for those that needed it. I hope those that needed a little extra help also appreciate them because they did an amazing job! We saw at least 7 mantas that night. It’s one thing seeing them at the zoo and another snorkeling with them. Towards the last 10 minutes of the session, we had 4 mantas doing flips under our floating matt. It was so mesmerizing! Such beautiful creatures! Would definitely do it again in the future! 10/10

I was impressed by the number of stars!
Su-san's guidance and thoughtfulness were excellent.
I was also surprised by how cute Su-san's child is and how beautiful his wife is.

星の数には感動しました!
すーさんのガイドと心づかは最高でした。
また、すーさんのお子さんの可愛さと
奥様が美人なのには驚きました。

My husband and I enjoyed the whole activity! Our guides, Jasmine and Alex, are excellent! They took good care of everyone in the group! We highly recommend it!

The Luau is great! Many food options and authentic Hawaiian food too!! The show was very informative and exciting to watch during the Luau. We enjoyed it very much!

Super condition. Great guide very helpful to get thé good pictures spot and take also excellent pictures with vis dedicated caméra.
Tour well organized with amazing star gazzing.
Flexibility for thé pick up localisation

The guide for us was great!! I missed my sunglasses in the sea.he picked up it in deeply.

What a guide!!
He was so kind and his talking was amazing

A few years ago, we entered the water slightly earlier (just before the sunset was complete) and got out before it was completely dark. Still, we were lucky enough to have manta rays come close, which was exciting. This time, there were only about two, rather than many.

There was a sense that the four guides, including the captain, were enjoying themselves, which made it a fun experience. Actually, while I was looking underwater, they were doing their best to explain things above the float, but I had my ears in the water and missed most of it. I thought it would be good to master the technique of having my face in the water while keeping my ears out of it...

数年前のツアーと比べて若干早め（ちょうど夕日が沈み切る直前）から水に入り、完全に暗くなる前位に水から上がりました。それでも、幸運にもマンタが近づいてきてくれて興奮でした。今回は多数というよりは２匹？位ではありましたが。
何となく船長を含め４名のガイド自らが楽しんでいる感があって楽しい気分になることができました、、、実は水中を見ているとき、フロートの上で一生懸命説明をしてくれていたのですが、水中に耳をつけてしまっていてほとんど聞きそびれてしまいました。顔は水の中、耳は水の外、、って技を身につけておくといいと思いました。。。

Our guides were wonderful! They were knowledgeable and very friendly which made our experience that much better. The snorkeling spots were on point, and they give clear and concise directions on how to proceed at each location. Our group was small and intimate which I found ideal.

This is an intimate and friendly canoe trip. I enjoyed it with my three kids and the crew was helpful and patient with my littlest one who had never snorkeled. We got an incredible education about the Mantra Rays and saw them within inches of us. I can’t recommitting enough. I really liked having a smaller group and special type of boat.

Derek was awesome! This was a great way to see a lot in one day. Started out with amazing views at a coffee farm. Derek set up a nice picnic lunch there (turkey sandwich, bag of chips, and a delicious cookie). After that we went to the southernmost bakery in the United States. Malasadas were provided (either passion fruit or original) and you had the option to purchase any additional if you wanted. Then we headed to the black sand beach where we saw a turtle. It was beautiful there. After that we head to volcano National park where we saw some steam vents and some awesome views and then volcano house where they have an incredible views of the crater. We had dinner after that at Kilauea Lodge. The food was good and the service was excellent. Surprisingly we had live entertainment too (although we were told that was rare). Then we went on a mile walk in the dark to see the lava. Really flat and easy walk for the most part. The end is mostly rocks but not bad at all. Derek provided jackets, flashlights and had a telescope set up to enhance the views and we were lucky enough to have a very active night. Highlight of the trip!! Then we walked back and headed back home. Throughout the day there's a lot of driving but derek keeps everyone entertained with lots of stories about Hawaiian history and the geology of the islands. I found it all fascinating. The ride home is a bit longer ( 2 1/2ish hours but Derek put on a movie which made the time go by fast). We also stopped on the way home and were able to do some Star gazing. Throughout the day Derek provided water and drinks and snacks so we had everything we needed at all times. Overall it was the best tour we've ever been on. Highly recommend and well worth the price! Derek was the best!

Overall i would say it's a must-do on the big island.
The crew was fun and helpful.
That particular night was somewhat cold and light on mantas but you get what you get. Crew doesn't control the animals.

I went on the deluxe snorkeling trip with my husband and five of my young adult children. We all loved it! Captain Steve did a fantastic job showing us sea caves and other interesting sites. We ended up in the midst of a pod of dolphins and saw some pilot whales. For all of us it was our first time snorkeling and Captain Steve and his crew made our first experience incredible. They even helped my son who can’t swim get comfortable with snorkeling using a life vest and noodle so by the second snorkeling stop he was a pro. We saw so many fish, eels, and a few sea turtles. I truly can’t say enough good things about the crew and the whole experience. One of the best of my life! I will definitely return!

This tour was truly an amazing experience. We had the best guides, Mesha? and Todd. They are very knowledgeable and made the tour so much fun. We enjoyed all of the activities that were included in the tour and the food was delicious. If you are considering adding this to your to-do-list, you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend this particular tour and company. I hope that you have as much fun as we did.....enjoy!

We have been extremely lucky with the weather and our guide Stephan. He made a fantastic job and created a memorable event for us. THANK YOU!!!!
The stargazing was unbelievable. We have never seen so many stars in the sky and Stephan explained all of them - ok, most of them .

What an evening!
The whole experience from booking to drop off at was seamless. The guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic to share his knowledge. He also gave an idea of the Big Island’s topography.
The main attraction is worth the money and the time you will spend. We went in a clear day and the sunset was spectacular. The guide gave a fantastic guided tour of the telescopes, the sky, the stars and the constellations.
He patiently took pictures of all the tourists and I’m immediately airdropped them.
In all a must do trip. Big shout out to the guide.

Our canoe boat trip was great. We loved the smaller boat experience - only about 12 of us - vs. the big catamarans. The captain and crew of two were friendly and fun. In the water we saw lots of Manta Rays. Our young lady crew member filled us in on lots of info about manta rays while in the water. My son took lots of GoPro videos and images. One hour was just right, since the trip out to the viewing spot only took a few minutes.

This was a great trip, seeing the views from 13,000 feet, watching the sunset above the clouds, and the star gazing with a knowledgeable guide, all made for an awesome trip.

A fantastic experience - would do it again in a heartbeat!

We had a great time on the sunset sail! The captain and staff were patient and so friendly. The boat was clean. Snacks and beverages/cocktails were provided. The ride was smooth and the sunset was beautiful. Our previous sail was cancelled and we were rebooked for this cruise and so pleased with the outcome. We would do this again and highly recommend it to visitors the area.

My husband and I absolutely LOVED this excursion. Our tour guide was so incredibly kind and knowledgable. We loved learning about the history and culture surrounding the mountain during our ascent. The dinner provided was delicious. The sunset on the summit and the stargazing was other worldly. We will never forget it!

Grant was amazing. I enjoyed his jokes, enthusiasm, love, and care for the island. I hope he continues to stay blessed on this island and continues to do what he loves happily. Thanks, Grant and Deluxe volcano tour for giving me my money's worth. Everything you needed was provided and you don’t need to spend any more money because they feed you well. I could brag all day about this tour because everything about it was amazing!! If you're going to Kona book this tour with Grant!! He is knowledgeable and will make it worth it!! Mahalo
