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

Bring Sunscreen!

Great, fun day splashing around off the Kona coast. Nothing wildly new, unless you've never done this sort of thing before. Getting buzzed by a pod of spinner dolphins and the 20-ft cliff jump were highlights. Just be aware: you're looking at several hours of direct sun here, so best buy the aloe first.

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

Compact and worthwhile

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

It was a compact tour of kayaking, snorkeling, cliff diving and sea-cave watching, though the weather didn't allow sea-cave exploration on that day. The overall experience was worthwhile for a first-timer. The tour made it much easier for route guidance, picking up kayaking tips, tying up kayaks when snorkeling and quick onshore energy supplement. It might be a little demanding physically for individual rowers. Yet the staff were very experienced, helpful (and encouraging for beginners).

Kayaking

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Had a good time. I'm athletic so asked for a single but was put in a double kayak with my father since girls are "weak". My father got sea sick so we were towed back even though I wanted to do the rowing. I never did get the exercise I wanted and never saw the sea caves so was pretty disappointed. My brother went on to see the caves in his single kayak. We were told that the activity would be over at noon but my brother came back at 11 a.m. We had to wait around til noon for our ride which was also a little disappointing. Wouldn't do this activity again under the circumstances.

Sea cave

Reviewed by: susan

This was reccommended for all levels. I do not agree. We had several children who were not able to paddle and it made it very hard for the adult in that boat. My parents are in their seventies, the guides were nice enough to pull them. The tour was great my family was not the type of customer that needed to be on this tour. We were allowed out of the kayak to snorkle, a very nice spot, but we had to climb on rocks to take a break. The sea cave was neat but not exactly what I was expecting. We ahd to ask to jump off the cliffs - I am not sure they usually do that although it is in the description. The dolphin and whales were no where to be seen. think there are better snorkling tours available unless you are strong and love to kayak.
However the staff and company was great.

This was the most fun we had in Hawaii! We snorkeled and jumped off a 20' plus cliff! While snorkeling, about 100 spinner dolphins decided to join us and got close enough some people could touch them! Absolutely awesome!

ケアウホウ湾　シーカヤック＆シュノーケリングツアー＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞by オーシャンサファリ・カヤック

最高の体験でした！

Reviewed by: Amor

カヤックは今回2回目でしたが、シーカヤックは初めての体験でした。
天気も良く、海からのハワイ島は陸から見るのとは違う景色でした。
真っ青などこまでも広い海を、船などではなく自分たちの力だけで漕いで行くのは女子二人ではちょっと大変でしたが、波や風を感じながら行くのは人間も自然の一部であるということを感じられて素晴らしい経験でした。
スタッフと私は英語での会話でした。でも英語ができない友人にはゆっくり簡単な単語や、カタコトでも日本語で話してくれますし、とっても親切に対応して頂きました。
よくある日本人向けのツアーのように全て決められて安全面など重視のツアーもいいかも知れませんが、せっかくのハワイ島。とことんアドベンチャーしてみたいなら絶対にオススメですっ！

ご自身で車を運転して行くなら、場所をgoogle mapなどで詳細まで調べて行くことをお勧めします。駐車場は道からちょっと入ったところなのですが、結構見つけにくいです。

ぜひまたこんなアドベンチャーいっぱいのツアーに参加してみたいです！

Kealakekua Bay Guided Kayak & Captain Cook Snorkel Tour - Adventures In Paradise

Peaceful

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Liked how this was in a bay...not in come choppy ocean with tons of waves and where I feel like I am having to fight just to stay upright...no way, this was nothing like that. It felt almost like I was back home at the lake and really peacefully just gliding through the waters.

And the bay itself is really pretty. Then the snorkel section of the trip was really fun too. To get in and see fish and wildlife I had never seen before was exciting.

Overall it was a really wonderful time in Hawaii and made a highlight of my vacation. Mahalo.

The two guides who went with us are wonderful as they were concerned for our safety and comfort. It was a very calm sea the day went out so waves were few. They also showed us the sights of the bay and, since waves were few, they let us use their snorkel gear for a great snorkel experience.

Good Times overall.

Reviewed by: Jessica

The cave was a bit disappointing. It was so small that we only paddled in 3 feet and turned around.
We actually snorkeled in a bay with cliffs. You were able to climb up and jump off a 30 foot cliff.

They had great snacks up on the cliff: fresh pinapple, cookies, chocolate, cheese and drinks.

The staff was very laid back. We had 3 tour guides for our trip that seemed to not stress about anything. We had one couple in our group that paddled away from the main group and the staff didn't seem concerned about it.

Fun Activity

Reviewed by: qbc1899

The kayak/snorkeling adventure was a lot of fun. I was prepared to kayak, but it was still a LOT of work. In total, you end up kayaking for close to two hours. Then we snorkeled for close to an hour or more. Would NOT recommend if you cannot kayak for that long or if you have small kids that cannot help paddle. Just be prepared.

The guides were nice and kept pace in the front with the leaders and in the rear with the slowest of the group. No one was left behind, which was nice. However, at the front of the group, we did do a lot of waiting for others. We went to a few sea caves and then went to a spot to snorkel and have snacks. The snacks were nice, the fresh pineapple was the best by far!

I did not find anything unique about this tour though. I felt like the tour guides have given the same "WOW you guys seem adventerous, should we take them here....or not?" talk a thousand times. Was kind of corny. But the activity was exactly as described and both my husband and I

It was ok. The only problem I had with it was that the with the snorkeling portion we went to a place where they said theres a lot of fish and there werent, not colorful or of much variety. It was fun to jump off a cliff and go swimming. It was only worth the money because they gave unlimited snacks so you kind of got your moneys worth.

５０歳の夫婦でカヤック日本語ツアーに申し込みました。
ｵｰﾅｰ兼ガイドのケビンの奥様は美人の日本人です。
ケビンは日本で英語教師をしていたので日本語が上手です。
奥様は　元教え子だそうです。
カヤック初めての方も大丈夫　親切丁寧な講習を受け
お二人に案内されていざ海へ
安定したシットオンタイプのカヤックで初めての方でも転覆する心配はありません。沖にはクジラが潮を吹いたり　尻尾を上げたりする姿が見えましたし　海がめを見ることも出来ました。またマンタが現れるポイントなので　マンタが見られる事もあるようです。
黒い大きな影が通ったらマンタですよと教えて頂きましたが
この日は見られませんでした。
シュノーケリングでの海の綺麗なこと・・・・・
ハワイ島の海は　大きな船でクジラやイルカを見に行くのでは無く　安定したカヤックでのんびり　クジラや海がめに会いに行きましょう　漕ぐのが上手くなれば　もっとすばらしいポイントに案内してくれますので　２日間申し込みをすると良いと思います。
オアフ島では味わえない大自然を　皆さんも是非体験して下さいね

I've never kayaked before and thought this was fun. It was a little windy on the day we went out but that didn't hinder us at all except when it came time to see the cave. Only one or two boats braved this part. Get ready to climb up some lava cliffs (about 4 feet high) and then jump back in too. Hadn't done anything like that in awhile but found it to be fun and refreshing. I sit at a desk all day so this was awesome for me. The snorkeling was beautiful as usual in Hawaii so no disappointment there. Overall we had a great time!

ケアウホウ湾　シーカヤック＆シュノーケリングツアー＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞by オーシャンサファリ・カヤック

初めてのドキドキ体験

Reviewed by: A.S.

カヤックに乗るのはもちろん、日本でもあまりボートとか乗ったことがないので、ドキドキでした。カヤックはボートというより、海の上に浮いている板に乗っているような感覚で（とはいえ、安定はしていましたが）、不思議な感覚でした。最初は他の人にぶつかったり、うまく前に進めなかったりと悪戦苦闘しましたが、時間が経つにつれ、スピードを上げることも出来ました。
海がとても澄んでいてきれいでした。その海をシーカヤックに乗って進むと、自然に帰ったような、自然と一体となったような、何ともいえず気持ちがよかったです。
洞窟も最初はちょっとドキドキしましたが、ちょっとひんやりして面白かったです。今度はもっと本格的な巨大洞窟をカヤックで探検してみたいです^^

その日は午前中はこのシーカヤックの海中洞窟探検に参加し、午後はショッピングやビーチやホテルのプールなどでゆっくり過ごしました。なかなか充実した気分で１日過ごせたのは、午前中のこのツアーがとてもよかったからだと思います。

シーカヤックに乗ると、現地の人になった気分で海に漕ぎ出ました。なかなか頼もしい指導員の方が親切にご指導して下さいました。
日本のボートよりも幅が狭く縁の高さが低いので海に座っている感覚でした。家内などは最初はこわがってきゃーきゃーと言っていましたが、だんだん慣れたようでした。

洞窟も神秘的で、カヤックでしか行けないというのが冒険心を煽られて楽しかったですね。
とてもいい体験ができました。

This was one of the highlights of our trip to the Big Island! Our guides, Kevin and Noni, were wonderful with tidbits of history about the island! The kayaking was so much fun as well as the snorkeling. They fed the fish so we could see more fish as we were snorkeling. Kevin demonstrated the jumping off the cliff into the ocean and my daughter followed! It is well worth the reasonable fee for a great workout and exploration of what the Big Island has to offer! Thank you Kevin and Noni for making it such a great experience!

洞窟の中にカヤックに乗って進む感覚は何ともいえず、ワクワクするものがあり、冒険心が湧き起こる気持ちがしました。出来れば今度はもっと本格的な洞窟（真っ暗な中をヘッドライトを頼りに進むとか）に挑みたい気もしました。童心にかえって、息子と仲良くなれた気もします。「パパが一番はしゃいでいた」と言われてしまいましたが^^;

海がきれいなのも感動でした。子供にもこんなきれいな場所を見せてあげることができて満足しています。

海を満喫したいのと、ハワイの自然を楽しみたいのと、自分達でも体を動かして体験したいのと、私たちが「ハワイでしたいこと」の全部を持っているツアーでした！海中洞窟はちょっとドキドキでしたが、そこに行くまでの海が透明度バツグンで、カヤックを操作しながらも底まで見えるので、感動でした。カヤック自体初めてでしたが、乗っていて気持ちよかったです。ボートよりももっと海に近い感じで、家に持って帰りたいくらいでした。
洞窟探検も、今まで日本の鍾乳洞など歩いて入ったことはあるけど、水の上を進むのは初めてだったので、とても新鮮でした。ちょっとこわかったけど、スリル満点の遊園地のアトラクションのようでした（もちろん、怖いものは何も出ませんでしたが）。
一緒に参加した人達とも和気藹々と盛り上がれたのもいい思い出です。今度ハワイに行くことがあったらまたカヤックには乗りたいです。

Overall pretty good, but....

Reviewed by: Tim Evans

Don't plan on going into this activity thinking you will be in your own kayak.

Oceans Kayaks, who provides the kayaks and tour guides, etc. DO NOT have sufficient amounts of single kayaks to appease their guests. We, as an adult family of four, were looking forward to going on this adventure in individual kayaks. My fiancee and I kayak often and my daughter also has taken to kayaking. We wanted singles and were never (especially when booking online) given the option of singles vs. doubles. When we arrived, we expressed our desire for singles and were brushed off by employees who did not want to think outside the box.

After much debate, we resigned ourselves to complete the activity and it was very enjoyable. We had great guides and we experienced quite a bit. We were hoping to snorkel a little longer, but we had a great time regardless.

We do recommend this activity, but only if you don't mind being forced to take doubles kayaks.
