UFO Parasail Adventure - Best Kona Parasailing Tour

Fun but too short

Reviewed by: Christina, 2009/02/10

This was a lot of fun. We got to see animals in the ocean and the water was so blue. This was our first time to Hawai'i so we had to try it. The staff was amazing! My only complaint would be that the ride was so short. I do not believe that 10 minutes is long enough. But overall it was a lot of fun.

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ(キングカメハメハホテル内)<ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

ルアウショー

Reviewed by: 匿名希望, 2009/01/14

家族で参加しました。
宿泊ホテルでの開催でしたので、集合も、終わってから部屋へ戻るのもとても便利でした。

食事の前にあちこちで参加型のイベント(葉っぱで魚を作ったり、ココナツの実を割るのを見たり)があり楽しい。

フラや、タヒチアンダンスやファイアーダンス等等、色々な種類のダンスも楽しめ、とてもよかったです。

食事は…ブッフェですが最初だけテーブルごとに取りに行くので、多人数でも混乱なく進みました。

家族みんな満足してよかったです。
ありがとうございました。

ハワイ島 オーシャンラフティング&シュノーケルリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事付き>

とても楽しかったです。

Reviewed by: haru, 2009/01/08

英語のツアーだったので、ドキドキでしたが、とても楽しかったです。
もちろん私たち3人以外はすべて外国人。全く日本語が通じず、困った事もありましたが、「英語が得意じゃありません!」と最初に言ったせいか、周りの人たちも気を使ってくれていたようです。
日本人だけのツアーとちがって迫力満点!!本当に楽しかったです。
心臓の弱いおじいちゃんおばあちゃんは、辞退して大きな客船のツアーに換えてもらっていました。
ボートのスピードが半端じゃなくて、スピード狂の娘は大満足だったようです。
こんどは、もう少し英語を勉強して参加します。

Morning Whale Watch & Snorkel BBQ Cruise (from Kailua-Kona Pier)

Great Experience!

Reviewed by: AmandaT, 2009/01/06

My husband and I went on the morning boat ride and snorkel - we saw both whales and dolphins! I never thought to see so many, there must have been 40 dolphins, and they were even jumping out of the water.

From the prairies I've never had much experience with the ocean and I was nervous how people would treat me given I was nervous. But the staff was excellent, they were helpful and informative, and you could tell they really love their job.

I had an excellent time snorkeling, and my husband did the SNUBA which he also enjoyed a lot. It was a beautiful location.

My only recommendation is to bring extra anti-nauseant medication if you know you get queasy! Mine ran out - but it only serves further to speak of the crew, they took care of me and even had ginger drinks to help calm my stomach.

I'd go on this cruise again in an instance, it was longer than I thought, and the food was good too. What an experience!

Island Breeze Big Island Kona Luau at King Kamehameha Hotel with Open Bar

Fun Evening

Reviewed by: Cynthia, 2009/01/04

Food was very good and it was helpful that they explained all the items on the buffet for those not familiar with Luau fare. The show was very well done and we had fun doing the activities at the beginning. Only downside is they do all the activities at the same time (hula lesson, palm weaving, etc.) so you can only do one. Also, if you're expecting a flower lei be prepared to pay extra for it or bring your own. We got ours at Costco, they sell a 2 pack of fresh orchid leis for only $6.50. Overall, a very fun evening right on the beach.

Island Breeze Luau - Kona

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/12/29

Food and show was good. But, we would like to have some more interaction with audiences to perform Luau dance. We were expecting atleast that during the course of performances. Though it was done as brief introductory on Luau dance before the show began but it would be nice if we could participate as family then it would be very very more vibrant live show where family, friends, kids everybody can enjoy and have fun. This is a small request if they can spend some time during their main course of performance on this.

Other than that food, drinks are delicious. Here is a small request if they can put name tag in front of the each of the dish / item so people who are verigiterian / non-vegiterian can pickup their food selection very easily and can avoid un-necessary waist on the food. Though the organizer anounced the all the food items but by putting a name tag for food items that are served on that day would not cost any more.

Thanks

This was my second time to go to the Island Breeze Luau. We really enjoyed the staff, food, and the show! This is really a special show. The cast really seems to enjoy the songs and dance. A smile says a lot and they smile a lot! Don't miss it. If you have not seen a Island show make this one the one you go to see!

My fiancee and I went together. It was my first time. I am afraid of heights, so I figured it would be a good way to challenge myself. I had a great time. We went the 1200 ft. option for 10 dollars more. So worth it! I cant wait to go again. So peacefull up there, at the same time exhilarating!!

野生のイルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングツアー <朝食・昼食付き>

海はきれいです!

Reviewed by: SATOKO, 2008/11/11

11月ということもあり、気温が低く水が冷たかったですが、海はきれいで魚もたくさん見れて楽しかったです。
朝食も昼食もほどよくおいしくて満足でした。
ただ日本語はほとんどというかまったく通じないので、英語が話せる方だともっと楽しめるのかもしれません。
イルカにも遭遇することはなく、なにも説明されることはないので、ただぼ~とボートに乗っているだけです。
今度は暖かい時期にいきたいです。

アフタヌーン・シュノーケル・クルーズ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望, 2008/10/23

送迎付のシュノーケルクルーズを探していてこちらのツアーに申し込みました(送迎はジャックスハワイの車でした)。
参加したアフタヌーンクルーズは参加者が少なかったので船上ではゆったり過ごせましたし、泳ぐ時にはクルーの人がとても親切に怖がる母親達の面倒を見てくれて助かりました。
イルカは湾に帰る際クルーの人が見つけて船を止めてくれましたが私達には良く見えませんでした。でも海も綺麗で色とりどりの魚を見れたので全員が喜んでいました。
船の設備も綺麗で気持ちよく使えて良かったです♪

This was a pleasant outing and particularly enjoyable for kids. If you think you might get seasick, I would recommend you take a ginger capsule before you go. Looking down into the water can make you a little queezy. Very informative and was helpful to have someone describing what you see.

ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング

Reviewed by: プルメリア, 2008/09/26

9/6に参加しました。午後からのコースです。
ハワイ島に行きはじめて5年、今までは火山かゴルフかドライブか・・・という過ごし方しかしてきませんでした。
が、海のアクティビティでこんなに素晴らしいものがあったとは!?
海の透明度は非常に高く、サンゴや魚たちがとっても鮮明にみられます。もう一度行きたい!
昔から神聖な場所であったケアラケクア湾、いまだに湾に入れる船は限られているとのこと。ツアー会社のスタッフは全員外人さんなので、日本語は通用しませんが特に問題はありませんでした。
ツアーの前後は、近くにあるショッピングセンターで過ごすこともできるので便利です。

午後からツアーの場合は、軽食がでるとありましたが、少量のスナックとカットフルーツだけなので、事前に腹ごしらえをしてから参加することをオススメします。
私たちは近くのケアウホウショッピングセンターにあるスーパーKTAでアヒ巻き(巻きすし)とスープを買ってベンチで食べてから行きました。帰りもそのショッピングセンターから極上のサンセットが見られます。

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ(キングカメハメハホテル内)<ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

星空の下

Reviewed by: あんじー, 2008/09/23

席ですが並んだ順に案内されるので、デスクでチケット引き換え後に屋外のルアウ会場前のプレートが出ているところに並ぶといいです。並んでいるとあっという間に列が長くなっていました。
(通常席と、ハノハノ席の2種類の列があります)。
ダンスはハワイアン、タヒチアン、マオリ、サモアなど一通りあります。
残念だったのは、席に案内後に特にアクティビティの案内が無かったことです。先に料金が高いハノハノ席を案内したあとにあるのかな?と思っていたのですが結局無く、様子を見に行った頃にはもう終わりがけでフラレッスンにも、ヤシの葉クラフトにも参加できませんでした(この間もステージでは何かやっています)。
でも星空の下でのショーはとても気持ちのいいものでした。お料理もけっこうおいしかったです。

Overall, this trip was fantastic, and you'll never see another sunset and night sky like it anywhere else. However, be wary of poor food (bring a sandwich) that is offered, and make sure your bus has air conditioning that works since it can be a long ride up the side of the mountain in 90+ heat.

Pros:
Great trip
Romantic
Educational

Cons:
No air conditioning in the van
Poor food

Reviewed by: ジャカランダ, 2008/09/22

フェアウインドのモーニング・クルーズに参加しました。
何と言っても、シュノーケルギアで呼吸するのが苦手な私にとっては、「箱メガネ」のようなものを貸してくれる所が素晴らしい!さざえを捕るときの漁で使うようなもので、BOXにガラスが入っていて透明度抜群の海中が、ラクラク見通せます。ただし、数が限られているようなので、泳げないんです!と訴えてGETすることをお勧めします。腰に巻くバナナ型のフロートと、黒い浮き輪も貸してくれて、泳ぎに不安の
ある方でも全く心配ありません。小さな子供から、かなりの年配の方まで、シュノーケリングを楽しんでいました。
波がほとんどない穏やかな湾で、魚の種類も実に多く観察でき、ランチタイムには船のデッキから、沖を行くイルカの群れにも遭遇できました!ラッキーな人は、かなり近くを泳ぐことができたはずです。乗船時から水中まで、DVD撮影をしてくれますので、ハネムーンに来たカップルなどは積極的に映してもらってDVDを買うのも、良い記念になると思います。降りるときに、クルーの人たちがチップを強要しない所も好感がもてました。透明度と波の穏やかさは、ハナウマ湾より格段上です。

Kona Glassbottom Boat & Guided Coral Reef Tour with Marine Naturalist

Non snorkelers - don't miss out!

Reviewed by: JK, 2008/09/21

I don't know how to swim, and no way would I try snorkeling without even knowing how to float, so this was right up my alley. The staff was engaging and funny and knew a lot about the fish that we saw. We floated over several clusters of coral and although I didn't see anything as cool as a dolphin or manta ray, I did see a variety of exotic fish I had never known outside of an aquarium. Sadly, it's a quick 1 hour because you're so focused on looking at the windows that you lose track of time.

I don't recommend taking tons of pictures like someone here suggested, only because the fish move so fast that you'd probably get bad shots anyway and secondly, you really want to enjoy this uninterrupted without a contraption mounted to your face. Maybe take a snapshot of the first reef so you can tell people "I experienced this," then put the camera away for good.
