Hawaii Horseback Riding Tour with Waterfall Swim at Umauma Falls

Scenic horseback adventure with waterfall swim.

Reviewed by: Tleslie24

This was a great experience for the entire family. Our two girls did not have any riding experience and were really nervous. The guides gave a very detailed safety briefing and made sure the girls were comfortable before the trip started. The guides were always close by to help them guide the horses when needed. The scenery on the entire trip was the most beautiful I have seen since being on the island. The stop at the waterfall was incredible. We had plenty of time to enjoy the paddle boards, kayaks and swim under the waterfall. This experience was the highlight of our trip and I highly recommend to those considering it. I recommend wearing pants if you have them.

マンタ大学夜学部　野生のマンタ＆ナイトシュノーケリングツアー ＜送迎可／日本語スタッフ乗船日あり＞

A manta ray right in front of me! マンタが目の前に！

Reviewed by: bagus!

I was really impressed when the manta rays turned right in front of me multiple times!

I wonder if it would have been even more fun to swim with them, but since it was night, the chances of getting lost increase, so it might be difficult?

But it was so much fun! I highly recommend it, so if you come to Hawaii, definitely check it out!!

マンタが目の前で何度もターンをしてくれてすごく感動しました！

一緒に泳げるともっと楽しかったのかなぁと思いましたが、夜なので遭難になる確率があがるから難しいのかな？

でも、すごく楽しかったです！オススメなので、ハワイに来た際はぜひ！！

ハワイ島　セグウェイで巡るカイルア・コナ名所散策ツアー！サンセットプランあり＜英語ガイド＞

The Segway experience is fun. セグウェイ体験が面白い

Reviewed by: テット

You can explore the sights of Kailua-Kona while experiencing a Segway tour, which offers a delightful two-in-one experience. It was a very unique adventure, as we passed through the bustling streets, visited the oldest church in Hawaii, and zipped through the remnants of a runway. It was also great that this activity could be enjoyed in the evening. We had a fulfilling time stopping by the beach and watching the sunset. The president who accompanied us captured our experience on video, creating a wonderful montage. They also took plenty of photos, making for great memories.

カイルアコナの名所をセグウェイ体験しながら回れるので、
一石二鳥の面白さがある。
繁華街を通り抜けながらハワイ州で一番古い教会を見学したり、
滑走路跡地を駆け抜けたりと、とてもユニークな体験になった。
夕方から体験できるアクティビティなのも良かった。
ビーチに寄ったり、夕日を見たりと、結構充実している。
体験している様子を同行していてる社長さんが撮影してくれていて、
見事な動画に仕上げてくれた。
写真もいっぱい撮っていてくれて、いい思い出になりました。

It's a lifelong memory!! 一生の思い出です！！

Reviewed by: sweet

This was the most anticipated activity of our honeymoon. It was incredibly fun and an unforgettable tour that exceeded our expectations! Our guide, Daisuke, had a special connection with the dolphins and truly knew them better than anyone else…! He was so enthusiastic that he even bent the captain's instructions to let us try again, shining with joy more than any other participant that day (laughs). However, that enthusiasm made us participants very happy, and I believe we had a truly valuable experience! There were quite a number of dolphins, and I will never forget the view the moment I put my face in the water! All the other staff members were friendly and wonderful people! I was able to spend a lovely time with the other participants. Thank you so much! If I can visit the Big Island again, I would definitely love to participate again!!

今回の新婚旅行で、一番の楽しみにしていたアクティビティでした。
期待通り、というか期待を大きく上回ってとっても楽しくて忘れられないツアーでした！
ガイドのだいすけさん、イルカと通じ合っていてそして誰よりも一番イルカを知っているすごいお方…！
船長の指示を折り曲げてもう1回トライさせてくれちゃうくらい、その日のツアー参加者より誰よりも楽しんでおられるキラキラした方でした(笑)
でも、そんなお気持ちが私たち参加者には嬉しくて、とても貴重な体験ができたと思います！
かなりの数のイルカがいてくれた時だったそうで、海面に顔を入れた瞬間のあの景色はずっと忘れません！
ほかのスタッフさんもみなさんフレンドリーで素敵な方々ばかりでした！
一緒に参加した方々と一緒になって素敵な時間を過ごせました。
本当にありがとうございました！
またハワイ島を訪れることができたら、ぜひまた参加したいです！！

I participated in a two-and-a-half-hour morning course. There were a total of four participants, including us and a foreign family. The guide spoke only in English, but spoke slowly and clearly, so there were no particular difficulties. The horses were well-trained and even did canter. The weather was great, and I thoroughly enjoyed horseback riding in the beautiful scenery, which was very healing.

午前の部の2時間半のコースに参加。参加者は私たちと外国人親子の計4名でした。ガイドは英語のみですがゆっくりと分かり易く話してくれるので特に不自由はありません。馬はよく調教されており、駈歩までしてくれます。天気も良く最高の景色の中で大いに乗馬を楽しみ癒されました。

I have experienced Segway tours in other countries, but I was interested in the 2-hour sunset tour and participated with my spouse. It was so much fun! Since we would be riding in narrow places and on public roads, we first received gentle and thorough instructions from Nana indoors before setting off. The tour, led by President Alan and Nana, took us around temples and the former airport site. I thought two hours might be a bit long, but it ended in no time. It was a packed tour that allowed us to enjoy the fun of riding a Segway while also learning about the history of the Big Island. Plus, we had the bonus of the sunset. Additionally, Alan edited and sent us videos he took during the tour, which became a wonderful memory. Mahalo! The hospitality was top-notch. I would love to participate again. Thank you, Nana and Alan!

セグウェイは他国のツアーで経験してますが、2時間のサンセットツアーに興味を持ち夫婦で参加。楽しかったあ。狭い場所や公道を走るとの事で、まず室内でナナさんに優しく丁寧な手ほどきを受け出発。社長のアランさんとナナさんの先導で寺院や空港跡地等をめぐるツアー。2時間は少し長いかなと思いましたがあっという間に終了。セグウェイに乗る楽しさと共にハワイ島の歴史にも触れられるてんこ盛りツアー。サンセットのおまけ付き。また、ツアー中にアラン社長が撮影した動画を編集して送って頂き、これは何よりもいい思い出となりました。Mahalo! ホスピタリティー最高。また参加したいと思います。ナナさん、アランさん。有難う御座いました！

Wonderful horseback riding experience!!

Reviewed by: mamamindi

Had a relaxing and fun day with the Kahua Ranch horseback group! Went with my husband and two teenage sons. My youngest son has high functioning Autism and was given a gentle sweet horse. The ranch is beautiful and has many types of terrain to ride across. The ranch is a working ranch with cattle and cows with calves. There are also sheep spread around the property. The guides are knowledgeable and fun and support the guests with instruction and help throughout the ride. This is a gentle relaxing ride for all skill levels. I would recommend this excursion for folks wanting a calm relaxing ride threw the pastures of Big Island! (The cows get all the best views on Big Island!)

We were a group of three guys with almost no riding experience. They did a great job of making sure we knew what we were doing and the horses were good.

Riding horses was fun but my favorite thing about that activity was the stop at the waterfalls. Very safe lake to swim in and they even let you use canoes which was a great addition.

Hawaii Horseback Riding Tour with Waterfall Swim at Umauma Falls

My daughter's favorite day of our 2 week's in Hawaii!

Reviewed by: Fiona

Mylie and Jamie made sure we were comfortable on our horses, given our varying degrees of riding experience. Each horse was perfectly matched to us! I even shared a name with my horse! As we rode through the beautiful rain forest area, Mylie and Jamie shared information about the flora and history of the area. Both grew up in the area and are so knowledgable.

At the waterfall, there were toilets and a changing room. Jamie got out kayaks and paddleboards for those who wanted them, but the pool was also fabulous for swimming. I swam and sat behind the waterfall, listening to the water cascade over me! Brilliant. So much fun!

On the ride back we stopped for a photo op. and learned more about the area.

Though this is a new tour and outfit, they are connected with a well-established outfit and have the expertise you look for in a horseback excursion! Fabulous afternoon!

Deluxe Captain Cook Snorkeling Tour at Kealakekua Bay - Fair Wind Cruises

Knowledgable, respectful, fun captain and crew.

Reviewed by: Fiona

It is hard to know which cruise to book--well this is the one I would go with each time! The crew were knowledgable and respectful! As we came into the bay, their were a pod of spinner dolphins; we kept a respectful distance but we all got to take photos. Then when we pulled into anchor and snorkel, they made sure we knew to keep our distance from where the dolphins were swimming, since the dolphins come to the bay to rest it is even more important for people to give them their space--so impressed with the crew.

The snorkeling was beautiful. The coral was amazing and at many different levels with sooo many different species of fish!! Fabulous!

Love waterfalls? Love rain forests? Love riding horses (or have always wanted to try)? Want to learn more about the plants and animals and history of the area? Then this tour is the one for you!
We were hoping to go on the horseback ride through the Waipi'o Valley; however, it was booked. We think it was our lucky day. We have no doubt the Waipi'o Valley ride would have been wonderful, but on our tour--we got to swim in a waterfall! The two tour leaders, Jamie and Mylie, made sure we were each comfortable on our horse given our varying riding abilities. We rode for about 45 minutes as the guides told us about the plants we were seeing and a bit about the history of the area. It was wonderful dialogue. When we arrived at the waterfalls, there was a restroom and changing room. Jamie and Mylie got out kayaks and paddle boards for those who wanted it, but I just wanted to swim--it was wonderful. The two falls were strong, but I swam up along the side and behind it to sit behind it, watching the water pour down! We then had a photo op. on our horses with the falls in the background. We had a wonderful ride back--Jamie and Mylie were a wealth of information, kindness, and support! Fabulous day--my daughter's favorite of our 2 week vacation!

My cousin and I did the horseback ride to the waterfall adventure on 6/18/19 and had so much fun. I was really nervous to ride a horse because I have not done so since I was a child, however, the guide (I believe his name was Jamie), made me feel really comfortable and answered all of my questions. This was by far the best horseback riding experience I have had. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the local plants and Hawaiian history.

Reviewed by: vivi

I gathered at the port, which is about a 10-minute drive from the hotel in Kona! There were so few Japanese people that I felt a sense of relief in an environment where Japanese could be spoken.

At first, we had a hard time finding the dolphin spot and kept cruising around the Waikoloa area. Just when I started to worry, the boat stopped, and we entered the water!

When we dove in at the call of "Here they come!", a large number of dolphins swam towards us!!!! The dolphins, which I usually only see in the aquarium, swam towards us leisurely and happily.

They twirled around, jumped, and swam close together, and it was such a precious experience that was incredibly cute!!! Thank you, Lei and Aki, for sharing so many stories and for being such warm-hearted people. I had a wonderful time! Thank you very much!

コナのホテルから車で10分くらいの港に現地集合で行きました！探さないと日本人が見つからない位の少なさの中で、日本語が通じる環境に安心感、、^o^

Had an amazing time on this trail ride/waterfall swim!

ハワイ島 パラセイリング ＜午前・午後／カイルアコナ発＞ by UFO Parasail

The height is... 高さは…。

Reviewed by: MASASHI

I participated in a 150-meter parasailing tour. It was my first experience. I parked my rental car in the public parking lot of the Kamehameha Hotel, where the reception office is located! (After checking in, if you hand over the parking ticket, you can get a discount on parking fees for up to three hours. Don't forget your parking ticket if you park there.)

All communication with the reception staff was in English. The instructions for how to ride and safety guidelines were in Japanese, though. After completing the check-in, I was informed of the meeting time and took a little break.

We headed to the pier, boarded the boat, and set off! The parasailing goes up to about 40 meters high. I thought it would be more windy, but it felt like I was floating gently, and it wasn't scary at all. My friend, who has a fear of heights, was able to ride normally too.

ハワイ島　セグウェイで巡るカイルア・コナ名所散策ツアー！サンセットプランあり＜英語ガイド＞

I can't help but shout, "It feels great!" 気持ちいい～って叫んじゃう

Reviewed by: MASASHI

I participated in a 120-minute sunset tour. I was able to park my rental car in the parking lot behind Ali'i Sunset Plaza. It seems that parking is free for up to two hours.

When I entered the shop, I was warmly welcomed by the president (an American), the guide Nana (a Japanese), and Mama (an American). Since there were only the two of us participating, it turned out to be a private tour. The guide explained that the president would accompany us and take videos and photos for free!

I chose a helmet with a design I liked, practiced a bit, and then we set off! We visited not only the classic spots but also beautiful and unique places that weren't even in the guidebook. The guiding method involved going to the destination on a Segway, which was great because we weren't on the Segway the whole time, so it wasn't tiring.

Especially at Old Kona Airport, it was still spacious and felt like a runway, so we could ride the Segway freely! I couldn't help but shout like Hiroyuki Ariyoshi, "Riding the Segway feels great!"

I had plenty of time to ride the Segway, and it was wonderful to chat with the president and the guide. When we returned to the office, the president showed us the videos and photos he took. They were so beautifully captured that I couldn't believe they were taken with just one iPhone! Moreover, he said he would edit them even better and send them to us!

I think this will become the best memory! I'm glad I participated! Thank you!

Our tour had less light compared to other tours, and people around us mentioned that other places were gathering more plankton. I agree with that. We could only see the mantas from a distance at the neighboring tour, which lacked impact. Additionally, one of the participants was splashing their feet and making noise, which made it seem like the mantas didn't want to come closer. I wished the instructor had better control over the participants.

自分たちのツアーは、他のツアーに比べてライトの量が少なく他のところの方がプランクトンを集めているんじゃないかと周りの人が言ってました。私も同感です。となりのツアーのところに来ているマンタを遠くから見る事しか出来ず、迫力に欠けました。また、同じツアー参加者が、足をバタバタさせて騒ぐので、マンタも近づいてくれなかった様に感じます。インストラクターはもっと参加者をコントロールして欲しかったです。

I didn't get to see the manta rays, but I had a great experience. マンタと会えなかったがいい経験をしました

Reviewed by: アワテンボウのテンショウ

This time, we went to a point where we could encounter manta rays, but due to the rough sea conditions, the captain wisely decided to return to port. I hope we have another opportunity in the future. However, it was a good experience.

Upon arriving at Honokohau Harbor, we received explanations from a Japanese guide, and I put on a wetsuit for the first time and got ready for snorkeling. I was excited as it felt like the adventure was about to begin. There were about 20 participants, including foreign tourists. We took pictures in our wetsuits. Finally, we set sail. Along the way, we enjoyed the scenery after the sunset. The boat kicked up the rough waves, with sudden drops and rises, and everyone was letting out laughter mixed with screams? It felt just like a roller coaster.

When we reached the point, several boats were already shining their lights, aiming for the manta rays. Our captain carefully navigated the boat, observing the other vessels and communicating to gather information about the manta rays. Unfortunately, it seemed that there were very few manta rays today, and due to the rough waves, we were advised to return to port to avoid fatigue from being in the water.

The tour company had mentioned before departure that, due to the nature of the wild, they couldn't guarantee sightings at the point, so there were no complaints from anyone. However, they kindly explained that we could attempt again for free since we didn't see any manta rays, which I thought was very considerate of the tour company (even though they incurred costs for fuel, drinks, and snacks...). We had another schedule, so we couldn't attempt again this time, but I hope there will be a chance in the future. I am grateful to Veltra and the tour company, Dolphin Hawaii, for providing such a great experience.

今回はマンタと出会えるポイント迄行きましたが海の荒れ状況から船長の賢明なる判断で帰港せざる得なく、またの機会があればなぁと思っております。
でもいい経験が出来ました。
ホノウコウハーバーに到着し、日本人には日本人ガイドさんより説明を受け、初めてのウェットスーツを着てシュノーケリングを付けました。いよいよ始まるって感じでワクワクです。外人観光客も含め約２０名の参加者です。ウェットスーツ姿の写真を撮り合ってます。いよいよ出航です。途中、夕陽が沈んだ後の景色を見ながらの航行です。船は荒波を蹴り、急降下、急上昇あり、皆は笑いを伴う悲鳴？を発してます。まるでジェットコースターの気分。ポイントに着くと十数隻の船が既にライトを照らしマンタを狙っています。私たちの船長は慎重に船を進め他の船の様子を伺い連絡を取リあってマンタの情報を得ています。どうも本日はマンタの数も大変少なく波も荒い為、私たちが海に浸かることにより疲れが生じることから中止、帰港となりました。
催行会社としては出航する前から自然界のことだからポイントに行く迄見れる保証は出来ない旨、話されていたので誰からもクレームは出なかったです。
でも見れなかった代わりに再度の挑戦を無料で実施する旨、説明有り何て良心的な催行会社だろうと思いました(油代、飲料費、お菓子など費用は使っているのに・・・。）私たちは次のスケジュールもあり再挑戦を今回は出来ませんが何時かは分かりませんがもしチャンスがあればそれまでお預けです。ベルトラさん、催行会社のイルカ・ハワイ社にいい体験が出来、感謝しております。

ハワイ島　シュノーケルクルーズ　SUP体験もできる充実ツアー！貸し切りプランあり＜午前／朝食・昼食付き＞ by フラカイ号

Relaxing Cruise & Snorkeling 気楽にクルーズ＆シュノーケル

Reviewed by: eco

We were the only Japanese people with an English guide. I communicated to our guide, Emi, in English that I didn't understand the language and needed support before boarding. Throughout the trip, she frequently checked in on our health and meal preferences, which made us feel at ease. It was unfortunate that there were guides in the Captain Cook area that I couldn't understand due to the language barrier. However, I was able to enjoy snorkeling at my own pace and had a meaningful experience seeing various fish and corals in two different locations. The meals were served buffet-style, and the hamburger patties were grilled live! The location and delicious aroma were fantastic, and the food was very tasty. Breakfast is provided, but since we gathered at 9 AM and arrived at the first point after departure, I felt a bit nauseous from hunger... In fact, one guest had to return to the port and disembark before heading to the second point due to feeling unwell after entering the water. It might be better for participants to have a little something in their stomachs beforehand.

My mother, who is not fond of water, stayed on the boat the whole time, but she seemed captivated and said, "If they lend out floatation devices in places like this, I think I’ll try going into the sea next time." Emi's voice was very pleasant, making the cruise enjoyable. Since we were staying at the Sheraton Kona, it was also great that we could walk to the meeting point.

英語ガイドで日本人は我々だけ。ガイドのエミさんに「英語がわからないのでサポートをお願いします」とだけ英語で伝えて乗船。 全体にこまめに体調や食事の様子を伺いに声かけしてくださるので、安心して参加できました。キャプテンクックエリアのガイドなどがあったようですが、それが言葉の壁により理解できなかったのが残念。でも、シュノーケルも自分のペースで自由に楽しめるし、二箇所でさまざまな魚やサンゴを観ることができて有意義でした。食事はブッフェ形式。ハンバーガー用のハンバーグはライブグリル！ロケーションと美味しい匂いが最高！とても美味しかったです。朝食は出ますが、9時集合、出航後第1ポイントに着いてからなので、空腹で酔いそうに・・・実際、一度海に入り体調を崩して第2ポイントに向かう前に帰港し下船されたゲストが1名おられました。少しお腹に詰めてから参加される方が良いかもしれまん。
水が苦手な母はずっと船上でしたが、「こういう所で浮き具も貸してもらえるなら次は海に入ってみようと思う。」と海中を実際に見てみたいと魅了されたようです。ガイドのエミさんの声も大変耳心地よく気持ちよくクルーズできました。
シェラトンコナに宿泊していたので、徒歩で集合場所まで行けたのも良かったです。

マンタ大学夜学部　野生のマンタ＆ナイトシュノーケリングツアー ＜送迎可／日本語スタッフ乗船日あり＞

I was thrilled by the number of manta rays, which exceeded my expectations! 予想以上のマンタの数に感激！

Reviewed by: ii-chanz

First of all, it was very good. There is no doubt about that. Additionally, the snorkeling mask and wetsuit were both well-sized and of good quality and condition. When I participate in snorkeling abroad, I often receive large masks meant for foreigners that don't fit my face, leading to unpleasant experiences with seawater getting in. So, I brought my own, but my husband's borrowed one was much better and suitable for seeing manta rays. This allows for a worry-free experience. However, unfortunately, Japanese participants went in first, which caused their bodies to cool down quickly, and my husband ended up being the last to get back on the boat, unable to stop shivering. That was the most disappointing part.

まずは、とても良かったです。それは間違いありません。
それと、シュノーケリング用のマスクもウェットスーツも、きちんとサイズのあった物を選んでくれて、質も状態も良いものでした。
私は海外でのシュノーケリングに参加すると、顔のサイズに合わない外人向けの大きいマスクを渡され、何度も海水が入る嫌な思いをしたので自分用のを持っていったのですが、主人の借りた物の方がとてもよくて、マンタを見るのに適していました。これは、安心して参加して頂けます。
ただ、残念なことに。日本人が先に入ったのですが、そうすると体が冷えるのが早くなるのに、ボートに上がるのが最後になり、主人は体の震えが止まりませんでした。それが一番残念なことです。

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Amazing

Reviewed by: H Harrington

We saw the north star in the same sky with the southern cross. Had never seen the southern cross before. That was worth the trip. The great professional authoritative guides, wonderful telescopes and celestial education were all icing on the cake.

Great Morning

Reviewed by: Vincent

Boat is well kitted out with good gear. Staff are on hand to help and provide support if required. Breakfast and lunch were perfect for a morning on the water. Even got to try paddle boarding without having to pay extra for hire

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

Amazing!

Reviewed by: Alex

My family and I greatly enjoyed this experience! Even my in laws who just stayed on the boat and watched from above enjoyed the view. These creatures are majestic and beautiful! We saw 8 rays and almost all of them got within a foot of me! I would recommend doing this activity for anyone just remember to take motion sickness meds as sometimes the water is choppy....
