Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Disappointed

Reviewed by: Laura

Absolutely gorgeous morning...our guides Ben and Happy were amazing....they were really great....very helpful and very knowledgeable....it was the advertising of this event that I'm pissed about....me and my kids wanted to travel into sea caves....well....there was no sea cave...it was literally a hole in the mountain.....you don't go into a "cave" and explore and see amazing things....you literally go up to a wall and thats it. Had I known that....I wouldn't have dropped $85.00 bucks each to paddle out in a kayak to see a hole in a mountain!!! It's very misleading and I wouldn't waste the money on this.....we did see dolphins run by us in the kayaks, we did see some fish while snorkeling..even though my mask they provided kept fogging up...I eventually just gave up on the snorkeling and sat on a rock until it was time to go. No pictures to provide bc go pro didn't work.

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

Horseback riding experience in the fog. 霧の中の乗馬体験

Reviewed by: しんちゃん

After a one-and-a-half-hour drive from Kona, we arrived at the Kafa Ranch right at 8:30. Since I was only wearing a T-shirt, I decided to borrow a jacket and a helmet. After a brief lecture (it was in English, but even someone like me who can't speak it could understand somewhat. They taught us how to start, stop, and steer the horse.) they helped us choose a horse based on our body type. My horse was a sturdy gray named "Smoky," which was just right to support my 80 kg.

We set off in a line. The ranch itself is located in a high area, and we continued to ascend through the grasslands. Along the way, we encountered a thick fog. Borrowing the jacket was definitely the right choice. My glasses fogged up with water droplets. It was quite cold, but when the fog cleared, we were enveloped in refreshing air. After almost two and a half hours without taking a break, we were on the horses the whole time. The scale of this horseback riding experience was completely different from what I've experienced in Japan.

I absolutely recommend this activity!!

コナから車で1時間半、8時半ぴったりにカファ牧場に到着しました。
Tシャツしか着ていなかったので、上着とヘルメットを借りることにしました。簡単なレクチャー(英語でしたが、話せない私でもなんとなくわかります。動き出しや止め方、横に行かせる仕方などを教えてくれます。)を受けた後、体つきを見て、馬を決めてくれます。私の馬は、唯一の葦毛でどっしりとした「スモーキー」です。80キロの私を支えるにはちょうどいいかな。
列を組んで出発。牧場じたいがかなり高い地域にあり、そこからさらに草原を登っていきます。途中から、一面の霧。上着を借りていて大正解でした。メガネも水滴で曇るほどでした。かなり寒い思いもしましたが、霧が晴れるとさわやかな空気に包まれます。出発から2時間半弱、休憩も取らず、馬に乗りっぱなしです。日本の乗馬体験とは、とにかくスケールが違いました。
絶対におすすめのアクティビティです!!

King Kayak Hawaii - Keauhou Bay Kayaking & Snorkeling Tour

Fabulous Kayaking Tour/Lots of Fun

Reviewed by: Linh

My husband and two kids (12 and 9 y.o.) went on this kayaking tour. At first, I was nervous that 4 hours would be too long and my kids would not last. It turned out that my kids and husband loved it and could have gone longer. It was easy paddling. The day was perfect for kayaking - very relaxing and beautiful scenic route. Best part was snorkeling at Keauhou Bay. Our guide, Kevin, at King Kayak was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us a good history overview. Would definitely do this again and want to go longer next time.

About 10 minutes after departing from Kona, we encountered dolphins.
After about 20 minutes, we proceeded to the diving point.
We played with colorful fish, slides, and inflatable rings that delighted the kids.
I was satisfied to see my child, who was not fond of deep water, happily swimming without any signs of anxiety.

I signed up because I wanted to go cave exploring, but we didn't go to the cave. There was no explanation for not going (there might have been one, but it wasn't heard by everyone over the sea). It ended earlier than planned. Snorkeling was fun, but I feel like I missed out.

We had a great time kayaking the beautiful clear blue water with our guides Ben and Devin. Was a lot of fun getting to snorkel and cliff jump and the guides provided us with snacks and drinks on the cliffs. The highlight for sure, however, was having a pod of dolphins swim by/amongst us on both our way there and our way back. Awesome time. Thanks Ben and Devin!

I read past experiences and applied without much expectation, but I was very satisfied. I lined up for the Ali'i seats around 5:10 PM and was guided to the front row seat, one to the right of the center, so I had a great view of the stage. The Ali'i seats also had the food served first, and they brought drinks when requested, allowing me to enjoy my meal at a leisurely pace. I was satisfied as I could experience the Hawaiian atmosphere.

過去の体験談を読んで、あまり期待せずに申し込みしたのですが、十分満足しました。
アリイ席の列に17時10分頃に並び、センターより1つ右側の最前列の席に案内されたので、ステージが良く見えてよかったです。
アリイ席はお料理も先に案内されるし、ドリンクもたのめば持ってきてくれるのでゆっくり食事を楽しめました。

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>

Getting up close to a manta ray!! マンタに急接近!!

Reviewed by: SEN

I participated in a night snorkeling experience for the first time, thanks to an invitation from a couple of friends. I was worried about whether it would be okay to go at night since I had my child (a third grader) with me, but we had no problems and enjoyed ourselves.

There was a warning beforehand not to touch anything, but the manta rays came so close that they actually touched us, which surprised me at first. However, after a few encounters with the manta rays, we were able to observe them closely. My child was initially scared, but it seemed like they were able to observe them carefully and shared various thoughts, so I felt it was a good decision to take them along.

*I only captured the manta rays on video, so I don’t have any photos...*

Also, the sunset viewed from the boat was beautiful.

友人夫婦の誘いもあり、今回初めてナイトシュノーケルに参加しました。
子供(小学3年生)と一緒だったので、夜間でも大丈夫かと心配がありましたが、
なんの問題もなく楽しめました。
事前に触らないようにとの注意がありましたが、マンタの方が触れてくるぐらい接近
してくることもあり、最初はびっくりしましたが、何度かマンタが来ることで
じっくり観察ができました。
子供も最初は怖がっていましたが、じっくり観察できたようで色々な感想を
言ってくれていたので、連れて行ってよかったと感じました。
※マンタはムービーでしか撮ってなかったので、写真がありません...

また、ボートから見るサンセットも素敵でした。

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

Manta ray swim

Reviewed by: Jessica

The people at sea paradise were truly outstanding. They were professional, fun, and extremely accommodating. Let me preface this review by saying that I suffer from extreme motion sickness and had I not been heavily medicated then this would've been a truly awful experience, of course this was no fault of the crew, the waters are just that rough. The crew Heather and Troy and the captain did their absolute best to make me feel better, while entertaining my six year old daughter. We saw tons of mantas and they barrel roll right under you almost touching you. Truly a remarkable experience. Once we decided we had enough the crew got us back to the shore as quickly as possible as they could tell I was in distress. I highly recommend this experience, just be aware that you will need every form of motion sickness prevention if that's a concern. I couldn't be more pleased with the crew of sea paradise.

Reply from activity provider

Aloha and Mahalo for taking the time to review your experience. We are happy you had a great time and you took the precautions you needed for your motion sickness. The waters in Kona are generally flat and the calmest of the islands, however once in awhile we do get a swell. Happy the mantas put on their beautiful performance to keep you at ease. A Hoi Hou and Aloha!
