Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Outstanding and Educational Tour

Reviewed by: Blake Bastedo, 2015/12/14

I must state that the tour we booked to visit Mauna Kea was the highlight of all our activities on the Big Island. Greg was outstanding in his knowledge of the area and the solar system. My wife and I learned many new things when it came to star systems and planets. Viewing the International Space Station when it came by was unbelievable. The evening was moon free and perfectly clear. The Sunset at the Summit was breathtaking and the effects of 40% less oxygen was quite noticeable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting or planning to visit Hawaii. Keep up the great work and a big Aloha to Greg and Blake!!!

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Omg one of the highlights of my life!

Reviewed by: Kristyn Taylor , 2015/12/11

What a fabulous tour led by Greg. Full credit to Greg, who was so engaging and informative, he really enriched the experience.
The tour was out of this world literally. The telescopes, scenery, sunset!! I loved that we didn't race off , after the sunset, but stayed as the colours deepened. We were the last tour to leave the sunset location.
The food was good! Lasagne and a very yummy brownie and later hot chocolate and biscotti whilst we star gazed through massive telescopes.
I was totally impressed with this tour. In fact raved about it so much when I got back to the hotel that my friend went the next day and also loved it!!

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>

ハワイ島の海を感じて

Reviewed by: むーちゃん, 2015/12/04

私達夫婦は、ハワイが大好きで、いつもはホノルルで買い物したりして過ごしてしまうのですが、今回はハワイの自然を感じたいと思って初めてハワイ島に行く事にしました。
ハワイ島の海を直接感じたくて、オーシャン ラフティングのこのツアーに参加したのですが、正解でした。ハワイ島の海の青さは、陸から見ているのと、 船から見るのとは全然違うと言う事を感じました。
浅瀬では 透明感のあるブルー 、少し深い所は エメラルドグリーン、海流がぶつかる所は 群青色。ボートの縁に座って海を移動しているので、その青が直接目に入ってきて 、どれも素敵な青でした。
楽しみはこれだけではありません。
海の上では、赤ちゃんマンタが餌を食べていたり、イルカが、群をなして泳いでいたり、そしてまさかの‼︎ クジラがジャンプしたのにも 出会えました。 感動の連続です。
海の中では、色とりどりの魚とシュノーケリングで、出会えました。ホント海の中に入れた顔を上げたくなくなる感じ、ずーっと見ていたと思わせてくれました。
最後にキャプテンは、明るくて、英語がわからない私達に伝わるように、話かけてくれました。デザートのパイナップルの剥き方は、教えてもらいたい程、上手でしたよ。
ゴメンなさいは、ただ一つ 船から上がった後に シャワーがない事です。 着替えは トイレでして下さいとのこと。潮まみれで、ホテルまで遠いし、 シュノーケリングから帰ってくる間に、身体は乾いていますがシャワーがあれば星5つですね‼︎

The location was beautiful at Captain Cook. I enjoyed the kayaking. However, I was not too impressed with the tour guide. My daughter and I were the only people on the tour. The female tour guide lacked in friendliness and almost seemed irritated at the beginning and the end of the tour. She also complained a lot about men and her personal life.

Very high quality experience. The pilot was knowledgeable of the area and very experienced in flying making it a comfortable and interesting tour. The day before the weather was very rainy so we were afraid we would not see much but we lucked out and actually had very good viewing. But if we had flown with them when we were there in 2013 it would have been totally clear, even the tops of Moana Kea and Moana Loa. So, don't put it off!

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>

ハワイ島の海を大満喫!

Reviewed by: ゆぅちゃん, 2015/10/19

10月12日キャプテンソディアック号のアドベンチャーに行ってきました。天気は良すぎるくらいに良くて、暑くて日差しも強かったですが、その分海と空は真っ青に澄み切って綺麗でした。私達以外は外国人のご夫婦が2組でしたが、みなさん気さくで、出発した時から和気あいあいとした雰囲気でした。まずは吹っ飛ばされるのではと思うぐらいの物凄いスピードで沖に向かいました。そして突然どこまでも深く青い海のど真ん中で停止し、キャプテンが「みなさん好きなように海に入って下さい」と言って梯子を下ろしました。みんな喜んで海に飛び込んでいきます。主人も頭から飛び込みをしていました。私は少々面食らってしまい、船の上に留まっていました。すぐにみなさん戻って来ましたが、キャプテンが「みなさん思い残すことはない?」と質問すると、一人の男性が私を指さし「彼女が海に入っていない!」と冗談を言いました。私は「え~、ちょっと怖くって!」と言って笑ってごまかすと、みんなも一緒に笑っていました。その後はキャプテンクックの碑のところでシュノーケリングをしました。透明度が良く本当にたくさんの魚を見ることができました。すぐ近くでは野生のイルカたちがたくさん泳いでいて、船の近くまで寄ってきて突然ジャンプして見せたり、すごいスピードで泳いだりしてとてもかわいかったです。船上ではサンドイッチや果物、スナックなどを皆で楽しく話しながら食べて、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。ハワイの海を大満喫しました。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー 滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く!<午前・午後/英語ガイド/食事付>by フェアウィンド号

想像以上に楽しかった

Reviewed by: たろいもちゃん, 2015/10/19

午前のツアーに夫婦で参加しました。
ツアー3日前に宿泊ホテル(キングカメハメハ)のフロントからリコンファームの電話をかけましたが、上手く会話ができず(二人ともほとんど英語が話せません)、途中でホテルの人にかわってもらい対応してもらいました。
当日はタクシーで集合場所へ向かいました。※30ドル(チップ込み)
チェックイン後、出航前に船の前でツアーの人から注意点等の説明をうけますが、屋根がない場所だったため、とても暑く日焼けが気になりました。
シュノーケリングスポットまでは約一時間。その間、マフィンやクロワッサン・フルーツなどの朝食がセルフで食べられます。そのあとフィンの貸し出しのためツアーの人たちがまわってきてくれますので、自分の足のサイズ(アメリカサイズ)を伝えます。
キャプテンクック記念碑の前につくと、また少し説明があった後シュノーケリングスタートです。日本からシュノーケリングマスクの曇り止め液をもっていきましたが、船内にもありました。
海の中は、想像以上に透明で感激しました。いろんな魚がいて、二人で手をつなぎながら泳ぎました。参加する前は海の深さが気になっていましたが、浮き具をつけていたためか、深めの方へ行っても怖さは感じませんでした。
一時間ほど泳ぐと「カンカンカン」という合図とともに昼食の時間になります。
食後も一時間弱はシュノーケリングできたと思います。
帰りの船は結構揺れたので、酔い止めを飲んでおいて良かったです。
私たちは1階の席にしたので、行きは日差しを気にする必要がなく風も気持ちよかったのですが、帰りは体が濡れているため寒かったです。船内の女子トイレは鍵が壊れていたけどキレイです。
帰りがけに野生のイルカの群れに遭遇し、しばらく船をとめてみせてくれました。イルカのジャンプもみれました。
また参加したいです。

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour from Hilo [Not Operating]

What the --, I can't ... OMG! I cried.

Reviewed by: Silas, 2015/10/14

Thank you to Jork our pilot for an amazing flight. After breakfast, me and my friends hit up the Volcanoes Winery for some wine tasting and then whipped through the Volcanoes National Park to get an idea of what we'd see from the sky before heading to the airport for our helicopter flight. The check-in was easy (I gained a few pounds from all the Hawaiian food I ate, but it was okay) and the ground crew was super friendly. Make sure you get a phone strap if you want to take pics with doors off, or you can't take your phone with you. I really didn't expect a lot but as soon as we were hovering over small lava ponds I cried a little bit. It was so epic - it looked like we were on another planet. The black lava landscape stretched to the horizon. It was cold up there but whenever we got over the bright orange lava spots you could actually feel the waves of warmth, so soothing! We finished with a fly over bubbling pots waterfalls and some of the towns. All the buildings and cars were so tiny and perfect like a miniature model city. Thanks again to Paradise Helicopters and HawaiiActivities.com. Definitely an unforgettable moment on the Big Island. Ah man!

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

The greatest/worst activity of the trip

Reviewed by: Mountain Man, 2015/10/05

I'll be honest, overall I didn't have a great time on this trip. We sailed off late and missed the sunset which we were supposed to enjoy, and then spent 15 minutes "sailing" in a circle getting tossed about in the waves in the boat which was very unenjoyable. I wouldn't call it snorkeling either. After an hour of getting tossed around in the waves, you get in your wet suit and get your snorkel mask and get in the water to hold on to a long float, getting beat up by the waves (some more) while playing footsie with your neighbor. Meanwhile, your float is drifting in the current towards the plethera of other boats in the surrounding area leaving you wondering if you're going to get run over or not. Seriously, our floating group ended up almost tangled in another boats anchor line. It was incredibly unsafe.

Why am I rating it a 3 with the description being very negative? Well it's because it's the most incredible thing to see Manta's swimming INCHES from you. We had quite a few come by and it was spectacular to witness for those few seconds.

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>

ケアラケクア湾でシュノーケル 

Reviewed by: fusa, 2015/09/22

夫婦二人で参加です。
二人共英語はだめですが、シュノーケルと景色を見るなら大丈夫と思い参加しました。でも当日受付をする事務所に行くと、その日の注意事項や行くポイントについて書かれた日本語の説明書をくれたので凄く助かりました、それにこの日は、親子三人の日本の方もご一緒だったのでちょっと安心しました、アメリカの女性二名とキャプテンとサブの方含め9人(日本人5人・アメリカ人4人)でのツアーでした。
スリル満点のラフティングとイルカ遭遇に期待しました、キャプテンが沖の方にスピードをかけて走ってくれたのは、スリルあり面白かった、でも、この日は運悪く一匹のイルカにも会うことが出来ず凄く残念でした。
ケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケルは、水も綺麗でサンゴや色々な魚も見ることが出来凄く良かったです。泳ぎに自信のない方には、浮き棒を貸してくれますので安心だと思います。
陸からならトレッキングでしか行けないキャプテン・クックの記念碑をシュノーケルをしながら見ることが出来良かったです。
ケアラケリア湾でのシュノーケルに飽きた頃に軽食のサンドイッチとドリンクの提供もあり、その後、パイナップルとオレンジのフルーツサービスもありちょっと腹ごしらえをして又シュノーケルも出来、結構長い時間停泊してくれていたと思います。
その後、洞窟の岸壁に近寄ったり(ここでもちょっとだけシュノーケルのサービスをしてくれた)火の神ペレの寝姿に見える場所に寄ってくれたり5時間のツアーは、あっと言う間に過ぎました。
帰りのボートでも、スナック菓子やドリンクのサービスもあり良かったです。
注意するのは、ボートはトイレがないのとボートには屋根がないので直に日差しが当たります、日差しがきついので日焼けには(耳や唇・太ももの裏等)注意してこまめに日焼け止めを塗らないと数時間でしっかり焼けます。

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour from Hilo [Not Operating]

Not So Hot!

Reviewed by: GeeBee, 2015/09/22

Now being honest the weather was not good at Hilo, very wet and cloudy. But in spite of the weather the flight did go ahead. I do have to say doors off is definitely the way to go! We flew over several areas of coastline and lava flows and then headed up to the Puʻu ʻŌʻō, again the weather wasn't great but you could see the ground pretty well. Heading up the mountain we saw a small area of fresh lava but it was over in a flash and then we were heading back to Hilo.

Now I fully understand that when weather and visibility are not good you might not see everything but at no point did the pilot state what we would or would not see. Obviously the vent or flowing lava is the main part of the "show" and you keep waiting for that to appear. But it wasn't until a guest asked that we were told that we went as far as we could.

Feel the heat? No we certainly did not.

A word of warning for passengers with longer hair wear a beany or make sure your hair is tied back tight, due to the wind it ended up with my wife's hair being badly knotted around the headset.

Two stars - to be honest only for the fun aspect of the doors off.

It would have been so much better if we were kept informed of the visibility and weather (now on Hawai'i this might not be a normal issue) and what we would be able to see as opposed to not being told anything and not experiencing what the flight was all about and coming away with the slightly cheated feeling.

Would I go again - yes - but I would certainly be asking a lot of questions about the weather conditions, visibility and expected viewing. It is a lot of money to pay, and especially if you are not local to not "Feel the Heat" because why else would you fly "doors off"

In additional I have to say the staff at Paradise were very understanding when we raised our points.

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour from Hilo [Not Operating]

Awesome, Breathtaking, Not Enough Great Words to Describe

Reviewed by: DWAungst, 2015/09/21

The flight was amazing, but we did not fly from Hilo. When our scheduled time (from Hilo) arrived, the weather was below minimum at the volcano. This was very disappointing since Hilo weather was nice. But, Hawaii weather is very volatile.

We rescheduled for the next day as a "reserve flight" (needed more people to "confirm" the flight). Before the scheduled time, Paradise Helicopters called to say the flight was still only "reserved", but they had an opening in a different, circle the whole island, flight from Kona. They would upgrade me for no additional cost to take that one. We jumped at it.

The flight was amazing. We got to see the whole island, in addition to the volcano and real, live, flowing lava. Our pilot was Koji and he was awesome. The weather over the volcano was mixed, but he was able to navigate through the clouds enough to maintain the FAA rules for height and get us over the actual volcano caldera. Then, we headed for the current eruption points on the southern slopes and saw even more lava in the second vent. Moving further to the new lava fields, he located some live, flow lava. "WOW!!!" is all I can say.

The rest of the flight was great, too. Flying low up the valley on the north shore was wild. Seeing all the waterfalls was also terrific.

  • "Captian Cook", his initial landing point on the Big Island.

  • Green Sand Beach

  • Main Volcano Laval Pool on the Caldera

  • Lava pool in the second vent on the southern slopes of the volcano.

  • Flowing Lava - we were hovering only about 50 feet off this, the heat wash from the lava made the ride bumpy but worth it.

  • More Flowing Lava, Oozing Out of a Crack

  • North Shore Cliffs

  • One of Many Waterfalls
