I attended with children. We were looking forward to the lazy river, but it was closed all day. Including the transportation, it felt really expensive.

子供連れで参加しました。
流れるプール目当てだったのに、一日中クローズ。
送迎まで入れるとめちゃくちゃ高く感じました。

It was amazing to race through the off-road trails with views of the mountains and the sea in the vast nature! I took a lot of photos and I'm soaking in the memories! There were only English-speaking staff, but they were very kind and accommodating! Since dust will cover your whole body, I recommend going with clothes and gear prepared for that, haha. If anyone is going to Hawaii, I definitely recommend experiencing this at least once! Thank you for the fun time! ^_^

広大な大自然の中、山と海がみえるオフロードを駆け抜けるのは最高でした！！
写真をたくさん撮って思い出に浸ってます！！
英語のスタッフだけでしたが、親切に対応してくださいました！！
砂ぼこりが全身に降りかかるので、それを覚悟した服装、持ち物で行くのがおすすめです笑
ハワイに行く人がいたなら、一度は体験することを必ずお勧めしようと思います！！
楽しい時間をありがとうございました^_^

The crew was so kind, and I'm grateful! I want to go on such a fun tour again!

The sandbar was beautiful, and I was able to encounter sea turtles, so I had a meaningful time!

クルーの人優しすぎて感謝してます！
こんな楽しいツアーはまた行きたいです！

サンドバー綺麗で、ウミガメにも出会えて有意義な時間過ごせました！

It was my first time participating, and it exceeded my expectations! My wife is very pleased and wants to join again next year. We were the only Japanese couple, but a foreigner in front of us spoke to us and took our picture with their phone. Thanks to them, we have a great memento. The sunset from the boat was the best memory.

初めての参加でしたが期待通り、期待以上かな！ワイフは来年もまた参加したいとご満悦ですね。日本人は我々夫婦だけでしたが目の前にいた外人さんが声を掛けてくれて携帯で我々を撮ってくれました。お陰様で良い記念になりました。船上からのサンセットは最高の記念です。

Participated with 2 adults and 2 teens. We chose all included package with banana boat and bumper boat for the teens. They enjoyed the rides very much! Snorkeling was amazing, the area was shallow with reef areas. The water was so clear, we could see many fish easily. Tried kayak and SUP and both were so fun even for us as beginners. Music was amazing, staff was super kind and welcoming. If we had more days, we wanted to do it again!

There are similar tours available but this is the best tour by far! We chose the morning tour. Donuts (2-3 different types), orange juice and water were provided in a boat while going to Sandbar. Probably it took about 10-15 minutes to get there. 2 staff played live music and sang variety of songs. It was beautiful and they are great singers! In the boat, there are a few bathrooms for women and I believe one bathroom for men. Life vest is available for everyone. You can bring your own beverage including alcohol. You can do some water activities or relax in the boat. Snorkeling gear is available for free, kayak and SUP are also available though you may need to wait for your turn if they are occupied. Just being in the water (we went there at high tide and the water was close to my neck and I’m 5’4”) was relaxing since the water was so warm and clear. If you have small children, you may want to choose low tide timing unless your kids are comfortable with deeper water. There was no wave (very gentle water movement). I strongly recommend this tour to everyone. This tour provides something for everyone to have fun!

This was our 2nd time. We did this tour last summer and it was so good that we came back again this summer! We’re 2 adults and 2 teens. Just like last year, this tour was the best highlight of our Hawaii trip. Tour staff are super friendly and funny and play/sing beautiful live music. We did kayak, teens did banana boat and bumpy boat. Snorkeling was awesome. The water is so clear that we could see sea creatures so close and clearly. Snorkeling gear was provided. It was so much fun and relaxing seeing the amazing ocean views. I wish the tour was longer! Felt like it ended too soon, I know that’s because we had a wonderful time. We will definitely do this tour again when we go back to Hawaii. Thank you for offering this amazing tour at reasonable price. We could make unforgettable family memories. Mahalo!!

Thank you for the hospitality & helping our fam out on the bay! From lifeguarding while we snorkeled to helping with the SUP’s! We were surprised at the attentiveness of the staff! Definitely suggest packing snacks & BYOB! The donuts going out was not enough… as my kids were hungry after all activities.Boat had changing stalls & bathrooms… and live entertainment! Defitnitely recommend adding the banana boat/bumper tubes! Was so worth our experience!

The personalities of the two were wonderful, and the pleasant sea breeze and beer were the best! Just before reaching Diamond Head, it started to rain and got cold, so we had to turn back unexpectedly, but since the weather is beyond our control, it doesn't affect my evaluation at all. If you're worried, it might be a good idea to bring a sports towel or a hooded rash guard.

More than that, the view of the ocean from the boat, the changing colors of the sea as we went further out, the flying fish jumping around, the blue sky, and above all, the fun atmosphere on the boat made for an incredibly enjoyable experience for both my daughter and me. It truly became a great memory. I think the cost-performance is also very good. I highly recommend it!

お二人の人柄も、気持ちの良い海風とビール、最高でした！ダイヤモンドヘッドに着く手前で雨が降り出して寒く、急遽引き返してやり過ごすことになりましたが、天気はどうしようもないので、全く評価の対象外です。心配な方は、スポーツタオルやフード付きのラッシュガードのようなものを持参されるとよいかもしれません。
それより船から見る沖の景色や沖に出る程に変わる海の色、周りで飛び跳ねる飛び魚、青い空、何より船上の楽しい雰囲気で娘も私も最高に楽しく本当に良い思い出になりました。コスパもとても良いと思います。お勧めです！

Despite the arrival being significantly delayed, they responded immediately on the spot. I was also very grateful that they changed the drop-off location to my preferred spot right there.

到着がかなり遅れたにも関わらず、その場ですぐに対応してくださいました。また、下ろしてもらう場所もその場で希望の場所に変更して下さりとてもありがたかったです。

Hanauma Bay, which has a reservation system and entry restrictions, was a great experience. To ensure we could enter, we asked a guide for assistance this time. With transportation included, we were able to complete our activities in the morning, allowing us to schedule other plans for the afternoon, which is a big plus. Since snorkeling in an unfamiliar sea can be concerning due to currents, having an experienced guide made it easy to focus solely on watching the fish. The guide is also fluent in Japanese, so everyone can feel at ease. They took photos during our snorkeling session, which they later uploaded to Facebook for us.

予約制で入場制限も出来たハナウマ湾。確実に入場できるように今回はガイドさんにお願いしました。送迎付きで無駄なくアクティビティの時間も午前中で完了しますので、半日は別の予定を入れる事ができるのも大きな魅力です。知らない海でのシュノーケリングですので、個人で行くと潮流等が不安ですが、慣れたガイドさんが居るので安心して魚を見る事だけに集中する事ができました。ガイドさんは日本語も堪能ですので皆さん安心できると思います。
シュノーケリング中に写真を撮ってくれて、後日facebookにアップして貰えますよ。

Captain Amy and her crew made our day!

One of the highlights of our trip. We brought our very adventurous 2 and a half year old out with us to swim with turtles and the crew were amazing and supportive!

Thank you ladies for making our day. ❤️

Family of four, including one, four-year-old and one two year-old. First time for the kids on a boat and we had a blast. The staff is extremely friendly, courteous, and personable. They made sure my kids were safe and comfortable. The time frames were very appropriate, the staff kept everyone engaged and entertained. Some staff shout outs for Brandon, Jeremy Natalie, Faith, the guy holding the mike (sorry I forgot his name!!) . And yes we saw TONS of dolphins.

The crew was very interactive with guests. They told the story of the grotto and about Hawaiian history. The fern grotto isn’t what it used to be but still a beautiful spot.

I’m in my forties, but I was able to surf both enjoyably and rigorously.

I participated alone, and I was the only Japanese person there. During my time, there was no support in Japanese at all. That said, there isn’t much difficult English, so I don’t think a high level of English is necessary. However, if you can’t speak any English at all or feel anxious about it, I think it would be safer to go with another company.

There was one instructor for two of us. The other person was a large Western man, but he dropped out early and went home, so it was essentially a one-on-one experience.

The instructor was strict. It might not be suitable for those who prefer a slow, hands-on, and gentle teaching style, but I think it’s great for those who want to dive right in and go for it! I had a lot of fun trying multiple times.

However, you will get quite sunburned! Lying face down on the surfboard waiting for waves left my calves and the back of my thighs bright red, almost like a mild burn. I regretted not wearing my long pants rash guard that I had with me. You really do get burned. That’s the only thing to watch out for.

Also, if you are prone to motion sickness, I think it’s better to take some anti-nausea medication. I heard someone say they felt sick.

アラフォーですが、楽しく、厳しくサーフィンできました。

一人で参加したのですが、日本人は私一人でした。
私の時は日本語のサポートは一切ありませんでした。
とはいえ難しい英語はあまりないのでそこまで英語力は必要ないと思います。しかし、英語が全くできない、不安がある方は別の会社が安心だと思います。

二人に先生が一人付いてくれました。もう一人の人は欧米人の大きい男性だったのですが、早々に脱落し帰ってしまったので実質マンツーマンでした。

先生はスパルタでした。ゆっくり手取り足取り丁寧に教えてほしい人には不向きかもしれませんが、折角なのでガンガンやりたい！という人には向いてると思います。私は何度もトライできて楽しかったです。

ただ、かなり日焼けします！
サーフボードにうつぶせになって波を待つのでふくらはぎと裏の太ももが真っ赤になり、軽いやけどのようになりました。長ズボンのラッシュガードを持っていたので履けばよかったと後悔しました。
本当に焼けます。これだけが注意です。

あと酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだほうがいいと思います。
酔ったと言っている人がいました。

The boat ride was enjoyable, with about 15 minutes of explanations about the surroundings on the way there, and on the way back, we all danced the hula together. The fern cave was breathtaking. The meeting point on the map was slightly off, and I got lost.

船は15分ほどで行きは周辺の説明、帰りはフラを皆で踊るなどして楽しかったです。シダの洞窟は圧巻でした。
地図上の待ち合わせ場所が少しずれていて、迷いました。

At Kualoa Ranch, there are tours available by buggy, bus, and bicycle, but exploring the vast landscape on horseback is truly exceptional. You can take photos with your phone using one hand, as long as you keep your left hand on the reins, but it's a good idea to prepare something to hang around your neck for added security. Additionally, large backpacks and hats will need to be stored in coin lockers that allow for multiple entries. Regarding horseback riding abroad, there are Japanese-language explanations provided in advance, and the horses are familiar with the tour routes, so I think beginners will be just fine. (This may not be limited to this experience, but in general, for beginner horseback riding, it doesn't feel like you are controlling the horse.)

クアロア牧場自体は、バギー、バス、自転車で回るツアーもありますが、広大な風景を馬で回るのは格別です。携帯での写真撮影は左手を離さないことを条件に片手での撮影可能ですが、首から下げるものを準備などしておくと安心です。なお、大きなリュック、帽子などは、何度も出し入れ可能なコインロッカーに入れる事になります。海外での乗馬と言う事に関しては、日本語の事前解説も準備されており、更に、馬さんは、見学ルートに慣れているので初心者でも大丈夫だと思います。（これに限ったことではないと思いますが、初心者向け乗馬全般的に、操作して馬を操っていると言う感覚ではない）

I challenged myself with my 3rd-grade daughter and my husband to a 150m adventure. The boat ride was fast and thrilling, and the parasailing took us up to a height close to the highest point, allowing us to enjoy a panoramic view of Waikiki. We really felt the essence of Hawaii.

When running through the city, there was ample safety support, and I felt comfortable enjoying it even with my child. They also took photos along the way, creating great memories. The staff had a cheerful atmosphere, which made me smile naturally. I would love to do it again!

街中を走る時、安全面で十分なフォローがあり、子供と一緒でも安心して楽しめました。途中で写真も撮ってくれて、いい思い出もできました。スタッフの方々も明るい雰囲気で、こちらも自然と笑顔になれます。またリピートしたいです！

I had been to Kailua before, but my wife wanted to visit a specific store, and we could also go to Whole Foods, plus we could snorkel at Lanikai, so I decided to join. We opted for bike rentals. Riding through the streets of Kailua on a bicycle felt very local and was great. I was able to take my time and enjoy the scenery that I would have missed if I were in a car. It was my first time snorkeling at Lanikai, and to my surprise, a sea turtle appeared right in front of me! I've seen sea turtles many times, but seeing one so close and in the water was an incredible experience. The only downside was the lack of shade; if you go, I recommend bringing a tent or an umbrella. Also, the snorkeling goggles weren't treated with anti-fog, so they fogged up quickly, and seawater kept getting in, so I would like to suggest improvements on that.

カイルアの街は初めてではなかったけど、妻が行きたい店があったし、ホールフーズにも行けるし、ラニカイでシュノーケルができるので参加しました。オプションはレンタサイクルにしました。カイルアの街を自転車で走るのは地元感があって良かった。車だと通り過ぎてしまう景色をゆっくりと見れました。初めてラニカイでシュノーケルをしましたが、なんとウミガメが目の前に！ウミガメは何度も見たことがありますが、こんな近くでそれも海の中で見れるなんて感度でした。ただ日陰がないのが残念、行く場合はテントかパラソルを持って行くのが良いかと。あとシュノーケルのメガネがくもりどめが塗ってないのかすぐに曇るのと、海水がすぐに入ってくるので改善をお願いしたい。

I was relieved to be greeted with a smile. In an unfamiliar place, I managed to have a good time despite my limited English. Thank you very much.

笑顔で対応され安堵しました。
知らない土地で、トボトボ英語だけど楽しくすごせました。
ありがとうございました。

The explanation of the doctor's passion for the starry sky was very good. As the sky darkened, I was moved by how many more stars became visible to the naked eye. The explanations are in English, but I think everyone can enjoy them since they are all well-known stars. Not only stars, but we also got to see Venus, Saturn, Mars, and shooting stars, making it a tour that met my expectations.

博士の星空への情熱が伝わる説明がとても良かったです。空が暗くなるにつれて、肉眼で見える星が増えていき感動しました。説明は英語ですが誰もが知る星ばかりなので楽しめると思います。
星だけではなく、金星、土星、火星、そして流れ星も見られて期待通りのツアーでした。

Great hosts we had, very informative about route, scenery, and hazards to watch for. The waterfall was really shorter than I expected and that day showed too much dirt in the bottom of the waterfall lagoon area. Yet Overall,it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this tour to friends/family.

The Napali Coast Tour was amazing. Our Captain was very professional. Treated everyone with the utmost respect. The Crew did an amazing job to be sure everyone on the Catamaran had everything they needed.
I highly recommend this tour. The Napali Coast is beautiful.

The relaxed atmosphere was great for my first horseback riding experience. However, the horse only walked slowly, so I felt like I wanted to trot a bit.

At the waterfall along the way, there were also activities like stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). I thought of it just as a snack time, but if I had gone with that in mind, I might have been able to spend a bit more meaningful time there.

のんびりとした雰囲気で初めての乗馬には良かったです。
ただ馬はゆっくり歩くだけなので、ちょっと駆けたいかなって気もしました。

途中の滝つぼではSUPなどもありました。
おやつタイムくらいにしか思ってなかったのですが、そのつもりで行けばもう少し有意義に過ごせたかも。

It's only in English, but it's okay even if it's broken.
The horses seem to be trained and will walk the course on their own.
There are moderate ups and downs, so it doesn't get boring.
The entrance can be a bit hard to find, so be careful.
You can only get there by rental car or charter tour, but this breathtaking view is a must-see!

英語のみですが、カタコトでも大丈夫です。
馬は調教されているようで、勝手にコースを歩いてくれます。
アップダウンも適度にあり、飽きません。
入口は少しわかりにくいので注意が必要です。
レンタカーかチャーターツアーでないと行けないですが、この絶景は必見です！

My partner and I went on this tour with Aaron. He was a fantastic tour guide, with lots of interesting tidbits about the history of the island and plenty of jokes. He also offered to take plenty of photos of us at all the stops. A huge thank you to him for remaining so cheerful and helpful after such a long day. If it was a long day for us, I can't imagine how long it was for him.

The tour was exactly what's stated in the description. We chose to do the tour in part because we weren't certain how to navigate Volcano National Park, and the tour offered highlights of the Park. After the tour though, I wish we had had more time on the island so we could explore Volcano National Park ourselves. Two hours wasn't nearly enough. If you're lucky (we unfortunately weren't), there will be lava at the Park. But don't worry, the volcanoes on Hawaii won't kill you, but bad tour guide jokes will (thank you for that one Aaron!).

Another highlight was Punalu'u Bake Shop. Try the pineapple malasadas: you won't regret it! I was initally hesitant because I'm not a fan of pineapple not in its raw form/juice, but the pineapple malasada was the best of those we ordered. I wish we got more. The passionfruit (lilikoi) and apple ones were also delicious.

After the bakery, we went to Punalu'u Black Sand Beach. It's absolutely lovely and a nice chance to see the endangered Hawaiian sea turtles up close. It's also very picturesque. Just don't get too close to the waves or you'll get very wet.
We finished the tour with stargazing.

Overall, I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a quick, yet interesting and surprisingly thorough, tour of the southern part of the Big Island. If/when we go back, we would book with Wasabi Tours again.

The food, service, and entertainment were very good. The trip was organized well. Very clean facility and the experience was so enjoyable. We loved the sunset and fireworks while onboard. We'd take friends along on another cruise in the future. This is a great idea for special occasions.

The crew and experience was great. The organization of the trip was well done. My child often gets motion sickness and the ship was so smooth they didn't even feel a thing. The activities were fun, first time paddleboarding and we had a blast.

The musicians were wonderful and entertaining. Loved the hawaiian music along with contemporary songs.

The only thing that made it less of a 5 star, was something the crew could not control. We should have checked the timing of the tides. We were expecting to be walking on sand in the middle of the ocean, but I suspect we picked a day where it was hightide, so we never "walked" on the sand, we were swimming the entire time.

My husband and I went for our honeymoon and we loved it. It's a really nice location for kayaking and snorkling! I love that it's self giuded and easy to understand. The staff were also the nicest☺️
