I have experienced various luau shows, but this one felt a bit lacking. The structure was stretched out, with a lot of band performances in between the hula. The meal was a 60 out of 100. I left early, so perhaps it got more exciting in the second half.
いろいろなルアウショーを体験しましたが、ここのルアウショーはちょっと寂しかったです。間延びした構成で、フラの合間のバンド演奏が多かった。食事は60点。途中で帰ったので、もしかしたら後半で盛り上がったのかもしれないですね。

I chose the course at Cahuilla Ranch because I wanted to ride freely in a spacious area, and it was a great decision. Perhaps because it was the off-season, we unexpectedly had a private tour with just the instructor and my husband and me. Under the guidance of a beautiful and slender instructor, we strolled through the vast ranch, controlling the horse ourselves instead of being led. Everything was in English, but she explained everything very slowly and carefully, and she repeated important points multiple times, so I had no worries at all. The horses are very well-trained, almost smarter than humans. The attending instructor ensures customer safety while allowing us to ride quite freely according to our wishes and skill levels, so if you have some riding experience, you can have the best experience in this vast ranch with its elevation changes. There is no pick-up service, but it's easy to find if you go by rental car, as it's not a confusing location and there are signs. The prices are reasonable, and I highly recommend it as an optional tour.
広い場所で、自由に乗馬したかったので、こちらのカフア牧場のコースを選択しましたが大正解でした。オフシーズンのためか、期せずしてインストラクターと私達夫婦というプライベートツアーに。美人でスレンダーなインストラクターの指導のもと、引き馬ではなく、自分で馬をコントロールしながら広大な牧場をお散歩。全て英語ですが、とてもゆっくり、丁寧に説明してくれるし、重要なことは同じことを何度も言ってくれるので全く不安はありませんでした。馬はとてもよく調教されており、人間より賢いくらい。アテンドするインストラクターは顧客の安全に万全を期してくれる一方、こちらの希望やレベルに合わせかなり自由に乗らせてくれるので、少し乗馬経験のある方なら広大で高低差のある牧場で、最高の経験ができます。送迎はありませんが、レンタカーで行けば迷う場所ではなく、看板もありわかりやすいです。料金も安く、オプショナルツアーとして最高にお勧めできます。

Fortunately, we spotted a humpback whale right after leaving the harbor! And then, it jumped right in front of us! Both the guide and we were super excited.
Previously, I participated in a dolphin tour on Oahu, so this time I chose to see manta rays, which I had never seen before.
The crew was incredibly kind, and it was very reassuring to have staff who could speak Japanese.
We hopped on the boat and headed to the manta point!
During the ride, the sunset visible from the boat was stunning and moving. I tend to get seasick, so I took motion sickness medication from the start, which allowed me to enjoy the trip.
I was splashed with water, and my excitement was at its peak!
Upon arriving at the spot, I held onto the rope attached to the surfboard and waited for the manta rays to come close. It was a bit cold in the water during that time, but the guide checked on me several times, asking if I was okay.
When I actually saw the manta rays, the impact was incredible, and I was very moved. They were so close that I was really worried about accidentally touching them, but I was desperate to take photos.
On the way back, we were treated to hot chocolate and snacks, and there was a rather bitter ginger treat, which made me happy. This ginger was really delicious!
Since the wetsuits were wet on the way back, a bath towel is absolutely essential.
I spent a precious and happy time gazing at the beautiful starry sky over the dark sea.
ラッキーなことに港を出てすぐに、ザトウクジラを発見!!
そして目の前での大ジャンプ!
ガイドさんも私達も大興奮でした。
以前は、イルカのツアーをオアフ島で参加したので、今回は見たことがないマンタにしました。
クルーの方もすごく優しい事、日本語を話せるスタッフさんがいらっしゃる事がとても安心でした。
マンタのポイントまで、船に乗って、GO!
その際に、船から見える夕陽は、とても綺麗で感動しました。
私は船酔いが酷いので最初から酔い止めを飲んでおいたので楽しく
移動が出来ました。
水しぶきも浴び私のテンションはMAX!
スポットへ到着してサーフボードに付いてる紐を持って、ひたすらマンタが近寄ってくるのを待つ感じでした。
その間は水の中で少し寒かったのですが、ガイドさんが大丈夫?と何度も声をかけてくれました。
実際マンタを見ると、迫力がすごくて、とても感動しました。
とにかく近いので触れてしまわないかとてもとても心配でしたが私は写真を撮る事に必死でした。
帰りには、ホットチョコレートと、スナック、かなり苦いですがジンジャーの差し入れがあり、嬉しかったです。
このジンジャーがかなり美味しかった!
帰りはウェットスーツも濡れてるのでバスタオルは絶対必須です。
真っ暗な海を綺麗な星空を見ながら幸せな貴重な時間を過ごさせていただきました。
ALOHA!

Since we went with a plan to meet at the location, I was worried about whether I would easily find the meeting spot, but once I got there, it was very clear. The staff was waiting for us even before the meeting time, which made me feel relieved.
There were only the two of us participating in the tour, so we were able to enjoy ourselves freely. We quickly spotted dolphins and were able to see many of them, which made us very satisfied. Above all, I could feel the staff's love for dolphins. If I had to mention one thing, I regret forgetting to take photos.
Since it was just the two of us, it was helpful that they adjusted the return time for us.
I think we had a wonderful way to spend our time! Thank you very much!

We've been on multiple whale tours over the years. We saw multiple whales but the boat was crowded and pretty dated. The microphone didn't work for the first 30 minutes and they never used the hydrophone after mentioning that they had one. Definitely not the "spacious deck with ample seating for all passengers and first class amenities" as advertised. The Kawaihae Harbor location is setup weird. After arriving and checking in we had to board a bus for a 5 minute ride to the boat. Every cruise in the past allowed us to park and then walk on without a shuttle bus. The crew was friendly.

We did the Circle Island Tour, small group tour which was fantastic. I cannot say enough about this tour. It was approx. 11.5 hours but the day flew by. Our driver Kevin was amazing and informed us about everything. It was a maximum 12 people which made it very enjoyable. Our lunch break we stopped at an Orchid shop and our driver had picked us up Bento Boxes, it was delicious. We saw everything from waterfalls, rain forest, black sand beach, lava tubes, lava fields, and volcanoes and so much more. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone. Well worth the money.

So I decided to propose on this particular cruise, and I couldn't have picked a more romantic, thoughtful, and special cruise to do it. I was so incredibly nervous, but the customer service rep was extremely communicative and responsive for my specific request. John, the captain of the vessel, was so knowledgable in the marine life, that my fiance and I asked if he had majored in Marine Biology in college. He had a lot of passion for the marine life and he spent a lot of time speaking with us. Also, the wait staff was beyond courteous, they took pictures of my engagement, and they made us feel so special with their champagne toast.
I also set-up an original song to sing for my fiance, and the musician onboard actually learned my song before-hand, and played it perfectly as I sang it in front of 40 strangers! His tunes really bring that cool, Hawaiian vibe, and the MC was great with her meticulous tour and crowd work. I couldn't have asked for a better sunset, a perfect location, and the greatest staff that I have probably ever encountered. That's saying a lot as I had been a musician on several international five-star cruise lines in the past. I would HIGHLY recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a special event with incredible food.

You have to do this activity! If you love sea creatures, and have not done this before, go for it! The Hula Kai is the way to go. Other tours are available, but the Hula Kai us the best outfit. Plan it early in the trip. It is highly unlikely that the Mantas will not show up, but if they don't, go again. It is only a couple of hours, and a reliable great time. You don't need to be an experienced snorkel / scuba person, they have a system all worked out. Very easy in and out of the water. Go for it!

I came to Hawaii Island for the first time. I wanted to see Kilauea Volcano, but it would take too long to get there by rental car, so I joined this tour. I was worried about whether the high cost of the tour would be worth it, but the experience was even more wonderful than I imagined. The pilot was Japanese and occasionally explained things in Japanese, which made it easy to understand.
However, be prepared for the possibility of cancellations due to weather conditions. We were able to go, but the next group had their tour canceled after checking in and had to go back...

We participated as a couple. It was just before a Japanese interpreter started working, but I heard they will be available here, so I think it will be fine for those who don't understand English if they request an interpreter. The participants ranged from children to adults. There were even families from the mainland U.S. participating together across three generations (from grandparents to grandchildren), so I believe people of all ages can enjoy it.
The first zip line was a bit scary because it was my first time and it was high, but after that, I had a lot of fun. I'm not very good with heights, but I managed. Due to the season, it had been rainy and chilly, making ocean activities impossible, but trying mountain activities during that time was very enjoyable.

ちょうど、日本人の通訳さんが働き始める前の体験中でした。これからこちらで働くそうなので、英語が分からない人でも通訳さんをお願いすれば大丈夫になると思います。
