My husband and I had a fantastic time on this tour. It was an amazing experience. The captain and crew were also great. It was a once in a lifetime experience. We even had a couple of dolphins swim bybus for awhile on our way back. The water was exceptionally calm for this tour. Very little lucky.

最年長は80代で、総勢6人で申し込みました。
あいにくの曇りでしたが、とても楽しかったです。
4WDでの往復はスリル満点でしたが、さすがガイドさんは運転に慣れていらっしゃるようで、安心して座っていられました。(でも怖かったけど)
行き帰りの車中歩いている人をたくさんお見かけましたが、お顔は後悔しているような方が多かったです。(笑)
日本から虫よけスプレーと虫よけリングを持っていきましたが、それでも蚊に刺されましたので、やはり腕が隠れる上着と足首まで隠れるパンツは必須です。
危ないことや歩くことはほとんどないので、高齢の方でも楽しめると思います。
ハワイ島に行くのならワイピオ渓谷は外してはならないですよ!

I've been to various luaus, and this was the best. Really. My three-generation family ranges in age from 3 y/o to 70, and everyone had a great time. The 7 y/o was truly amazed by everything, which was delightful. The event was well organized, informative, and vastly entertaining. The food and beverages we're very good, high quality, and plentiful. No dishes ran out, and the selection was excellent. The arrival of the King and his court was fun. We enjoyed the extra touches, like the Hawaiians tattoos, and hula lesson. The dancers were excellent and engaging; we especially enjoyed those involving fire! I would definitely recommend this luau. I don't think there were any bad seats, and the view was glorious.

Had a fantastic time. Kayak was good fun and not overly strenuous. Had a couple of stops along the way to catch our breath before we arrived at the monument. Snorkel was amazing with a huge variety of fish on display at close quarters. A pod of spinner dolphins arrived as we were leaving. Spent an hour snorkeling which gave us plenty of time to look around.
Then a paddle back again afterwards.
Our guide Patrick was very knowledgeable and safety conscious. He looked after us extremely well.
Very good value for the money.

We had a wonderful experience riding along in this incredible sacred valley. Bob and the mules were a delightful experience. The waterfall was breathtaking and Bob's knowledge of the valley was captivating. So grateful to have chosen this adventure to share with my 7yr old grandson who was equally enthralled to have the experience.

This was by far the most amazing boat ride I ever had.
We met at the harbor well before the sunrise, and after the brief safety instruction, we boarded on this massive speed cruiser. We took off and went from 0 to the top speed in minutes in the pitch darkness (I swear the captain had a night vision), and it literally felt like we were on the secret 007 mission. The ride was wet and bumpy, and my arms got tired from holding on to the bar. Bring a rain poncho if you don't want to get wet from the ocean spray. If you are prone to the sea sickness, take a motion sickness pill prior to the ride.
After about 45min of riding, we started seeing a glow in the distance. As we got closer to the ocean entry point, the lave heat started warming our skin although we were at least 100 yard away from it. The captain scooped a sea water from where we were into a bucket, and went around the boat so we could put our hands in the bucket and feel the temperature. It's amazing how the lava could heat up so much ocean water around the entry point.
The ride back was peaceful and we enjoyed the nice view of the volcanic cliffs with a few caves along the way.
Overall, this was a great tour. Not too many people can say that you witnessed the creation of the newest land on the earth. Highly recommended!

Wow! We had the pleasure of taking the historic Kona tour with Drew. It was an amazing day! Drew has an energy and enthusiasm about the island that is infectious! He took us to beautiful spots that were advertised and even a few of his favorites that were off the beaten path a bit. The thing that stood out was the intricate knowledge of the historical significance of all the places that we went that Drew was able to share with us. I’ve been to a few of these spots before but never understood them as I do now and that’s all from our great guide. Drew, I hope you know that you shared with us a memory that we will all hold dear for life!

大変面白かったです。ただ、勝手にワイピオの急斜面を馬車でいくイメージがありました。よく考えたらありえないですね。4駆動のバンですが、これはこれで結構なのですが、窓のガラスがスモーク(遮光)+汚れでよく見えない。貴重なヒイラベの滝がこのガラス越しとなり、残念至極。渓谷の下におりて、バンから馬車に乗り換えてからは、評判通りゆっくりと渓谷の自然と神秘的な雰囲気を堪能できました。同乗したアメリカ人の方々のウエイトが気になり(我々二人を含め8名)、二頭立ての馬たちが、途中で立ち止まってしまうと、御者のおじいさんが棒を取り出して、尻をつつき出したのには、家内ともども馬たちに同情しきりです。帰りのバンは下りより迫力あり。ただ景色は曇った窓越し。全体的に貴重な体験でした。できれば窓のスモークやめて綺麗に拭いておいてもらえると最高です。

This was an unforgettable once-in-a-a-lifetime experience! Definitely recommend swimming with the manta rays. It will be one of the most majestic experiences of wildlife you will ever have. A note we were unaware of: it seems essentially all ventures to swim with the mantas leave from a similar dock area and set anchor at essentially the same spot in the water--which is just a few hundred yards out from the dock.

午前の部に参加しました。
コナから1時間半程かかって集合場所に到着。渓谷にある馬屋まで車で移動し馬を選んでもらいます。
説明は100%英語なので手綱操作や注意事項は何となく察する感じで(笑)
馬はよく調教されてますしインストラクターの方が隊列の前後にいるので特に不安は感じませんが、馬によっては止まって草を食べたり水を飲んだり好き勝手に行動するので主導権を握る事が大事だと思います。
ちなみに個人的に持って行って役立ったのがウインドブレーカーでした。
時期(4月末)によるのかもしれませんが、乗馬の最中に10分程普通に傘がいるレベルの通り雨に降られました。邪魔になるかな?と思いつつ腰に巻いていきましたが馬上でさっと羽織って雨をしのぐことができて大正解でした!
最初から雨の時はカッパをかしてくれる?かもしれませんが、途中で降った場合は各自で対応になります!
後は虫よけスプレーをみんな使っていました。
インストラクターの方はみんな親切で途中で植物の説明をしてくれたり、写真を撮ってくれていい思い出になりましたし、雄大な自然の中を馬で散歩できる機会なんてそうそうないし参加して良かったです。
またハワイ島に来たらやってみたいです。
最後に、乗馬の後はホノカア近くのテックスドライブインでマラサダを食べましたがこちらもオススメです。

初めての乗馬で英語が出来ないのに何とかなるかと申込みました。やはり英語の説明がほとんど理解出来ず、説明している時のジェスチャーのみで理解し、すぐ馬を選ばれて乗り込んだら出発です。すごーく不安でしたがそこは調教済のお馬さん、ある程度は進んでくれます。はじめは乗ってるだけで精一杯でしたが徐々に景色を観る余裕が。でも途中で草を食べ始めたり、他の馬を追い抜こうとして怒られ、ヒヒーンとなり落ちそうになって一生懸命捕まりました。
慣れてくると他の馬に近づき過ぎないようにコントロール出来るようになったりするので可愛く思えてきます。渓谷の清々しさと初めての乗馬はハラハラしつつ楽しかったです。次はもっと上手く乗れるはず。時間はけっこう長く感じました。少しお尻が痛くなり、終わった後は足もプルプルしました。手を離す余裕がなく途中で水を飲むことは私はありませんでした。写真も首にかけたカメラで片手で適当に撮る感じでした。一度ガイドさんが撮ってくれましたが。

とにかくガイドのヘラルドがフレンドリーで、車の長い道のりもグループを盛り上げてくれました。ハワイのローカル情報もたくさん教えてくれました。英語が分かる方なら日本語ツアーより参加しやすいと思います。
当日はコナの天気は良かったもののマウナケアに近づくほど雨で、山頂の天気を心配しましたが、山頂に着くとそこは雲の上で心配無用でした。
マウナケアの山頂は本当に寒かったです。ライトダウンを着て4枚も着込んだ上に貸してくれる大きなダウンを着ても寒かったです。
あれだけ注意事項に上着必須、長ズボンと書いてあっても用意していない人もいて、かなり寒かったらしくバスの中でほとんどを過ごすこととなり、見ていて残念でした。(そのため、防寒具必須です)
ほかの団体ツアーと一緒になる部分もあり、説明が聞き取れなかったり、星を見るには厳禁の車のライトやホワイトライトが行き交うことも多かったですが、流れ星を何度も見ることができ、感動的でした!お勧めです。

とりあえずバウチャーに書かれた電話番号ではリコンファームが出来なかった。
そもそもリコンファームが必要ならば、予約前に分かるようにして欲しかった。英語が苦手な人にはかなり難易度が高い。
開催当日、席に案内され
ドリンクを取りに行ってる間に別のスタッフが別の客を席に通してしまい、私たちの席がなくなってしまった。
またここでも英語が苦手なのでスタッフに上手く伝わらない。スタッフが見かねて日本人スタッフに電話して電話をかわり私たちが説明してようやく席を確保されたが、そこはまた別の人の席で。
元々の席の人には怒られて。(何を言ってるかはよく分かりませんがジェスチャーと口調で怒ってるようでした。)その人がスタッフに言ったようで、私たちはこのままの席になりましたが、肩身の狭い思いをしました。
夫婦で楽しみにしてたショーだったのにもううんざり。
しかも料理はテーブルごとで、中々順番がまわってこずにほぼ最後。
料理を取りに行ったら、料理がほとんどない。皿もない。ショーが始まるまでしか料理は取りに行けないから、私たちはほぼ食べる事が出来ませんでした。
ハワイ島最終日に最後の思い出と選んだのに最悪の思い出になりました。
ショー自体は良かったです。
もっと、誰をどこの席に通したかとか、スタッフ同士で連携してください。
まあ、二度と利用しませんが。
