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

The Best Morning

Reviewed by: The LeBeau's

Jasmine and Chris were the best. They made it all good. The only bad thing to say was that it was too short.

Big Island Keauhou Sea Cave Kayak

Reviewed by: Rob

The guides were very skilled and experienced. They were very helpful on the trip. Mid-trip snack could have been a little more substantial, however one can carry only so much on a kayak. There was really one small "cave" to see, but it was still a good time.

Good Trip

Reviewed by: Steve and Sara A.

This trip was long and somewhat strenuous. The sea cave was a bit of a let down. It was not as cool as it looked online. The snorkling was great and the tour guides definately knew there stuff. I would not reccomend this trip for a first time kayaker. The water was a little ruff on the way back which made it a long row. For the dare devils there was a 15 foot cliff to jump off. They also provided snacks and juices including fresh pineapple. Overal we had a great time.

A True Adventure

Reviewed by: Ed and Linda in LV

This is a great trip and a REAL adventure. This is also a great value. The kayaking on the ocean is fun but can be physically demanding. We are in decent shape but we were pretty tired at the end of the trip. Good snorkling and cliff jumping. The guide is informative and competent.

a little disappointing!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The tour itself was cool but didn´t hold its promisses/expectations. The abstract about the tour on the internet contained information about the summer tour. So, everybody expected something else. In the end, we didn´t do much on this tour but enjoying ourself, which would have been great if I would have known about it earlier.

Ocean Kayak Sea Cave

Reviewed by: S Hall

The staff was a bit cranky at check in but once things got rolling, I think they woke up and all was good. I enjoyed the snorkle site but the sea cave exploration is little more than "here is the cave, it's not really deep, next please"......overall I had a good time but felt I paid too much for what I got. If you have never been kayaking in Hawaii and want to, then I would have no problem recommending this outfit. I just think you may get more value from a less green more motorized adventure.

Great fun with great people

Reviewed by: Asher

This was a great experience for all. The natural beauty was stunning, and the staff was just as great. I wish the water was calm enough to go into sea caves, but the kayak tour did not suffer because of it. Sense of adventure and willingness to put in physical effort is required, but well worth it. Our group did end up with cuts and bruises.

A Good Time

Reviewed by: JJH

This was a great time. The staff was helpful and friendly in making sure you had a great time. Kayaking was a good and steady pace. Snorkeling was amazing! Being underwater with the fish and coral is a must see! Seeing dolphins playing close by is really neat too.
Cave was a bit disappointing, being only 30 feet deep, you coulnd't really go in them.
If you are up for the extreme, try the cliff jump, its definately a thrill and safe.
All in all, a good experience; great way to spend a morning in Hawaii.

Honeymoon/Vacaiton Highlight

Reviewed by: Joey Jamir

A group of eight of us, my wife and I, our 9 year old daughters, my sister and her husband, and my brother and his wife, went kayaking for the first time with Ocean Safari Kayaks, and we all agreed that is was one of the best activities of our whole trip. The staff, Mikey and Debbie, was very friendly, informative, and supportive and the locations we visited were awesome. Although not as leisurely as going on a snorkeling trip with a power boat or raft company, I'd say this trip gives you more of a sense of adventure. We were able to check out the Dragon's Throat Sea Cave, which was a bit intimidating, but with their guidance, were able to successfully enter. Then, came the snorkeling which was awesome, and most importantly the cliff dive. That is one experience I may never stop talking about. My brother, brother in law, and I all took the plunge, not to mention being upstaged by Mikey doing a spectacular backflip off the cliff. Anyway, I could go on and on about this, but its d

Best time in Hawaii!!!

Reviewed by: Aaron; Rockford, IL

I was in Hawaii for a week and did a number of activities including shark cage swim, swimming with dolphins, Polynesian magic show, manta ray dive, 2-tank scuba dive, and the Polynesian cultural center, and this was my favorite of all of them. Even better...it was the least expensive!!! The snorkeling left something to be desired, but the kayaking itself and the cliff jump more than made up for that! I HIGHLY recommend this activity! Thanks Johnny, Kevin, and Jasmine!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This tour was by far the highlight of our Kona vacation - guide Karen was knowledgeable and friendly and put us at ease even though my sister was a first time snorkeler. She also gave a fantastic history of the island and everything we saw on the way. The best part was seeing a school of dolphins as we were kayaking to the first snorkel sight! I look forward to doing this activity again on my next trip!

Reviewed by: keva

Kayaking was fun -Cave was not quite what I had expected (much smaller, but impressive all the same) and I didn't think about the fact that I could not see while snorkeling due to not being able to wear glasses. Otherwise, tour guides were great and this was a very enjoyable way to spend time in the sun.

Ocean Kayak Tour!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Two Virginians loved this excursion! We're so glad that we rode on a tandem kayak so we could switch on paddling. You need to be somewhat physically fit so you can keep up with everyone. We were soo lucky to see an off-season whale, as well as a pod of dolphins. I know it's up to mother nature to see these incredible creatures, but i would have still enjoyed the tour without seeing them. Highly recommended.

all I can say about this tour is "wow" if you have never ever paddled in a kayak befor no problem with on tour your guides will teach you how get in and balance yourself, how to hold your paddle, how to paddle toeghter, how to get in and out of your kayak in open water even if you have never done it before because that person was me. My wife and I had the best time toeghter trying to see everything thats going on around you. After they show you how to do everything you just start paddiling out of the bay with your guides along the coast line. Just as we rounded the corner a pod of dolphins swaw by us they were about 100 yrds away from us but what a treat. We stoped for a short break and they showed us how to get in and out of the kayak in the open ocean, then we went cliff to the blow hole paddled in and out of the cave jumped off the cliff then went around to another bay to have lunch and snorkle. Well all I can say we were the first around the corner with our guide and a pod of dol

My wife did the early morning 3.5 hour trip and we loved it. This was the first time that me and my wife had ever kayaked, the tour guides show you how to do everything from balancing your kayak to getting in and out of your kayak in the open ocean. We seen a pod of dolphins on the way out of the bay, that was great, then we followed the shore line. at one point we were able to paddle into a small cave with a blow hole, and then several members of the tour jumped off the cliff over the cave. It was a bit too high for us so we watched. But we were able to paddle out before the rest with one guide and when we were just around the corner the same pod of dolphins swam under and by us. Several of the dolphins were within touching distance of our kayak. My wife was so in awe she could barely get the camera out! The snacks were yummy and the guides wonderful!. We were able to wander and snorkel at a second sight that had a cove and a shorter cliff that we jumped off! If you can take t

I was pleasently surprised!!!!!!!!!

Reviewed by: ashley

I was at first a little hesitant to do this activity because I thought that I wasnt going to enjoy it very much but it ended up being me and my boyfriend's faviorite activity that we did! This activity is definitly worth the money that you pay. Not only do you kayak in beautiful clear water, but you get to jump off a 30 ft rock, go into a cave, and snorkel. What more can you ask for??? Everything about this activity was fun and I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Hawaii. Now that I know how much fun kayaking is I plan on doing it in the future. This is a must do!!

No Fins!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Although we really enjoyed the beautiful setting and being on the water it would have been much more enjoyable if they had provided fins. The water was a little choppy and we weren't able to snorkle as long as we wanted because we were just too tired after all the paddling. Also, we weren't able to enter the sea cave because of the waves. I was hoping to see dolphins or turtles but I guess it wasn't our lucky day. The staff were very nice and helpful but I think there are better sites for snorkling.

自力で漕ぐからこそ楽しめる!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

ツアーが終了してから、シーケーブとは?っと洞窟をくぐる探検ではなかったことに気づいたのですが、トータルの内容としてはとてもよかったです。

カヤックは初心者でも2人リズム良く協力すると、ぐんぐん進み、海面から近いこともあり海の青さが際立ち本当に綺麗でした。
スノーケルポイントでは、波は穏やかで色とりどりの魚を見る事ができ、絶壁からジャンプ!!!
海遊びを満喫しました。

参加を予定している方へのアドバイスとしては、
・岩の上で休憩のため、脱げないサンダルを履いていくのがおススメです。
・日焼け対策が必要です。
 帰り前にもUVクリームを塗るか、上下UVウェアの着用をおススメします。足が特に焼けました。

親切な対応と楽しい会話も想い出の一つです。

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!

参加してよかったです!

Reviewed by: greenleaf

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。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

子供達を楽しませたいと思い、このツアーに参加しました。普段は仕事でなかなか一緒に遊んであげることも少ないので、子供と一緒にカヤックに乗ってコミュニケーションを思い切り楽しみました。

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。
