We've been on multiple whale tours over the years. We saw multiple whales but the boat was crowded and pretty dated. The microphone didn't work for the first 30 minutes and they never used the hydrophone after mentioning that they had one. Definitely not the "spacious deck with ample seating for all passengers and first class amenities" as advertised. The Kawaihae Harbor location is setup weird. After arriving and checking in we had to board a bus for a 5 minute ride to the boat. Every cruise in the past allowed us to park and then walk on without a shuttle bus. The crew was friendly.

We did the Circle Island Tour, small group tour which was fantastic. I cannot say enough about this tour. It was approx. 11.5 hours but the day flew by. Our driver Kevin was amazing and informed us about everything. It was a maximum 12 people which made it very enjoyable. Our lunch break we stopped at an Orchid shop and our driver had picked us up Bento Boxes, it was delicious. We saw everything from waterfalls, rain forest, black sand beach, lava tubes, lava fields, and volcanoes and so much more. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone. Well worth the money.
Thank you for the great tour.

So I decided to propose on this particular cruise, and I couldn't have picked a more romantic, thoughtful, and special cruise to do it. I was so incredibly nervous, but the customer service rep was extremely communicative and responsive for my specific request. John, the captain of the vessel, was so knowledgable in the marine life, that my fiance and I asked if he had majored in Marine Biology in college. He had a lot of passion for the marine life and he spent a lot of time speaking with us. Also, the wait staff was beyond courteous, they took pictures of my engagement, and they made us feel so special with their champagne toast.
I also set-up an original song to sing for my fiance, and the musician onboard actually learned my song before-hand, and played it perfectly as I sang it in front of 40 strangers! His tunes really bring that cool, Hawaiian vibe, and the MC was great with her meticulous tour and crowd work. I couldn't have asked for a better sunset, a perfect location, and the greatest staff that I have probably ever encountered. That's saying a lot as I had been a musician on several international five-star cruise lines in the past. I would HIGHLY recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a special event with incredible food.

The quality of food for a dinner cruise was above-average. Drinks were good. The crew was pretty solidly great, mixing an easy-going sociability with attentiveness. And we were lucky enough to see dolphins, glimpse whales, and spend time with a manta ray, all before catching a fantastic sunset.

You have to do this activity! If you love sea creatures, and have not done this before, go for it! The Hula Kai is the way to go. Other tours are available, but the Hula Kai us the best outfit. Plan it early in the trip. It is highly unlikely that the Mantas will not show up, but if they don't, go again. It is only a couple of hours, and a reliable great time. You don't need to be an experienced snorkel / scuba person, they have a system all worked out. Very easy in and out of the water. Go for it!

初めてのハワイで、ハワイ島に来ました。
とりあえずキラウエア火山を見たいと思っていましたが、レンタカーでは行くまでに時間がかかり1日潰れてしまうのでこのツアーに参加しました。
このツアーの料金が高いので満足できるか不安がありましたが、結果は想像以上に素晴らしいものでした。
パイロットの方が日本人で時折日本語を交えて説明してくださったので理解しやすかったです。
ただ、天候によって中止になることもあるので覚悟が必要です。
私達は乗れましたが、次の時間の人たちは受付をした後中止が決まり、帰っていきました…

このツアーへの参加は5回目になると思います。乗馬経験のない人でもまず問題なく参加できます。ゆっくりと渓谷の中を一列に進んでいくだけですので、安心して参加できます。できれば午前中のツアーの方が時間の余裕がありますので、おすすめです。
途中野生の馬ムスタングが群れに近づいてきます。馬同士も好き嫌いがあって面白いです。
初めての方には大満足の経験ができると思います。
ワイピオ渓谷は上からも見れますが、下に降りてみると様子がよくわかります。最近では日本語の書類も用意されていますので、ガイドは日本語はわかりませんが、特に問題はありません。

夫婦二人で参加しました。
ちょうど、日本人の通訳さんが働き始める前の体験中でした。これからこちらで働くそうなので、英語が分からない人でも通訳さんをお願いすれば大丈夫になると思います。
参加者は子供から大人までいろいろ。
アメリカ本土から親子3世代(おじいちゃん、おばあちゃんから孫まで)で、そろって参加していた方もいたので、年齢問わず楽しめると思います。
最初のジップが、初めてで慣れないうえに高さがあってちょっと怖かったですが、後は楽しめました。
私は高いところがそんなに得意ではないですが、大丈夫でした。
時期的に雨が降って肌寒い日が続いていて、海のレジャーは全然ダメだったのですが、そんなときの山のレジャーとしてやってみたら、とても楽しかったです。

ワイピオ渓谷の下まで行ってみたくて、ツアーを探していました。乗馬もしたことがなかったので不安でしたが、日本人で参加している方がいるのならと思いツアーを申し込みました。背の高い女性がガイドで集合場所まで迎えに来てくれて、チェックイン後に4×4と馬が描かれた大きな車で厩舎まで向かいましたが、そのときに日本語は分からないからと言われました。不安になりましたが「あぶない!」だけは言えるから、よく聞いてねと。乗馬の説明は英語とジェスチャーで、日本語の注意書きや簡単な説明文は貼り出されていました。英語が分からなくても馬がよく調教されているので大丈夫ですが、ガイドさんの途中での説明も聞き取りたいのであれば中級以上の英語力が必要かとおもいます。馬は一列に勝手に並んでくれて、歩いてくれますし手綱も簡単な動きだけでした。川の中をどんどん進んだり、川を渡ったり、草を食べに道から外れたこともありましたが、すぐに列に戻ってくれる賢い馬たちでした。渓谷の下のタロイモの畑や滝もゆっくり観られて、1時間半はあっというまに過ぎました。午前のツアーであれば、午後から出かけられるので楽しめますね。天気にも恵まれ、参加してよかったです。写真を写す余裕がなかったのですが、途中でガイドさんが写してくれました。また、参加したいです!

My husband and I enjoyed the evening of going out on a canoe and then getting in the water and holding on to a lighted surf board to observing the huge mantas come right up to you! The young crew members were very friendly and helpful. They did provide a wet suit top but I regretted not having my full wet suit. Although it is in the "warm" Hawaiian water- after 30 minutes the water does steal your bodies warmth. So that would be my only suggestion to the average tourist. Despite the cold near the end, it was such a unique encounter that the amazing mantas- we were thrilled!

I'm not a religious person, but something about this experience felt sacred; crashing through rolling waves along stretches of completely uninhabited shoreline, and then coming to rest with the boat surrounded by thick volcanic smoke. Looking out through breaks in the white clouds, you can't help but feel a vague sense that you've left the world you're familiar with behind—that you've breached some dividing line and are now in a place still under the control of something incalculably ancient. This tour is refreshing, in that the excitement of a new experience will invigorate you, but it's also physically demanding. The boat ride can be a bit difficult to bear at times. That said, I wouldn't let that discourage you. Trust your own judgement, but go into it fully aware that the trip out to the lava flow is not a pleasure cruise.
Yes this is an ocean adventure out to see one of earths rarest attractions mahalo for joining us Randle and experiencing the magic of lava touching the sea.

11月16日の朝7時のフライトに2人で参加しました!
日本人の参加者は私たち夫婦だけで、かなり不安でしたが、登場してきたパイロットのTOSHIさんがとーっても明るくて素敵な日本人でした。20年のベテランでとーってもお話上手。
一緒に搭乗した外人さんにもわかりやすく、日本語と英語を交えて説明してくれました。
この日の天候は最高!キラウエアの溶岩も、オーシャンアプローチの溶岩もしっかり見えました。それよりもワイピオ渓谷では、ヘリコプターでしか見れない壮大な景観、言葉が出ないぐらい感動してしまいました。世界で13番目に高い滝は、しっかり水が落ちていました。TOSHIさんの話では、前日に雨が降り、朝1番でのフライトだからたくさん水が落ちている、とのこと。昼ぐらいには水はほとんど落ちないでしょう、ということなので、これから参加する方は早い時間のフライトをお勧めします。
フライトに関しては、何の申し分もないぐらいですが、1つ残念だったのが、ホテルの送迎に関して。
5時55分のお迎え予定で、遅れないようにと5分前には待っていましたが、実際に車が来たのは6時10分過ぎ。15分過ぎて迎えが来ない場合は連絡をください、とバウチャーに書いてあったので、連絡しようとフロントに動いてもらったら、車が来るというタイミング。頑張って朝早く起きたことを残念に思ったスタートでした。お迎えのスタッフは日本語ができない人たちなので、文句は何も言えませんでした。
同じ苗字のTOSHIさんとの出会いは、私達夫婦にとって、忘れられない1日になりました。
ありがとうございました!
