Fabulous helicopter ride

Reviewed by: Marg from Australia

We travelled from Australia with our friends and took a helicopter tour of the volcano. The trip was amazing !! The pilot was informative and very knowledgeable. He had some great jokes and made us feel very safe. I would really recommend this trip to anyone.

ワイピオ渓谷  乗馬ツアー <午前・午後/英語ガイド> by ワイピオ・オン・ホースバック

ワイピオ渓谷をのんびりと

Reviewed by: わかさま

現地集合、現地解散、英語のみのガイドなので、レンタカーとある程度の英語が分かることか必要です。馬の乗り方とかはゆっくり分かりやすく教えてくれるので、日常会話が聞き取れれば大丈夫かと。
今回ガイドしてくれたのは現地の女性二人。パーティーのメンバーは我々2人以外に本土から来た夫婦と家族の総勢9人で、和気あいあいとした雰囲気です。
途中自生している果物を色々と(マンゴー、パパイヤ、ノニ、アボガド、バナナなどなど)教えてくれたり、野生の馬に出会ったり、渓谷を下まで降りないと見られない滝を見に行ったりと満足のツアーでした。
車で渓谷の下に下りるツアーもありましたが、馬の方が川を遡ったり、細いところを入っていったりとより奥まで行けるのでオススメです!

今回はツアーの前後で周辺のホノカアやワイメアの町もブラブラしたかったので、こちらを選びましたが、単純に渓谷の乗馬だけを楽しみたい場合は、日本語ガイド、送迎付のツアーを選んだ方がいいと思います。

Hawaii Zipline Tours - Big Island Waterfall & Rainforest Zip Adventure

Amazing, amazing, amazing!

Reviewed by: Dawn Weston

We had a total of 8 in our group, and did this tour on 5/9/17. The guides were very helpful and did a god job in making you feel comfortable on the lines especially for us first timers. The views were undescribable. Make sure to really just enjoy the ride and not fuss too much with your camera or phone because you will miss all the beautiful scenery. It can take away from the experience. You get to see a lot of banana trees and even try some right off the tree. It was by far one of the best things we did while visiting. A must do activity!

Deluxe Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkeling Cruise from Keauhou Bay - Hula Kai

Awesome Experience!

Reviewed by: Dawn Weston

Me and my family attended this activity on 5/12/17 and it was everything and more! There was a total of 8 of us in my family that went. The boat was huge and there was not a lot of people so there was plenty of room to sit and wander. The crew was friendly and very informational! They answered all questions and did a good instructional of what to expect and what not to do. Once in the water they were so helpful especially for those snorkeling for the first time. They helped you every step of the way to make sure you were having the best time possible. They eased you and helped to calm your nerves. We saw three manta's during our time and it was amazing! A must do event that no one can miss. Once we were back on the boat there were a total of five manta's swimming around almost pleading us to come back in the water! Two of us got sea sick over the side of the boat and the crew was super nice about it and just said that we were feeding the fish! Hahahaha. I would highly recommend this snorkel swim and specifically with the Hula Kai. It seemed to be the better of what I could see once out on the bay. I can not thank the crew enough for such a wonderful experience for our family! Job well done!

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

Unforgettable Kayaking Adventure

Reviewed by: Krista Gray

We chose the morning Kayak tour, it was a bit of a walk to get to the dock but were greeted warmly by Hauoli, our guide, and Ben. We stowed our valuables in their lock box and paddled out into Keauhou Bay and out into the ocean past the Sheraton Hotel, the Lekeleke/Kuamo'o sacred burial grounds, and the End of the World burial grounds which is a great tourist spot too. We got to the Sea Cave but because the swells were too high and dangerous that day, we admired them from outside. Our guide, Hauoli, made our tour so much fun. He regaled us with the history and attractions of the area, and being a local, was very knowledgeable and interesting. We did not stay for snorkeling or cliff jumping but thoroughly enjoyed our time kayaking.

Puna Coast Expedition & Kilauea Volcano After Dark Lava Hunt Adventure

Great trip, knowledgeable guides

Reviewed by: Lilly

We had kind of an unusual situation, as our hike down to the lava in the afternoon was canceled due to the directions of the winds, which were blowing toxic VOG inland. Instead, we ended up going to the crater for the second time that day, which actually turned out to be pretty cool, as the lava level had risen quite high.

Our AM guide was Angelique, who was really sweet and had a great deal of information about the flora/fauna in the area as well as having some really fun stories about Captain Cook and various other historical figures. She's clearly done her homework!

Campbell was our PM guide, and he's quite a character. He had a lot of great information to share about the various eruptions that have happened on the island and took us to a few places to see old lava flows. He's pretty new to the island and the tour, though, and it does sometimes show. I'd say, after he gets a little more experience under his belt, he'll be great. He's done quite a bit of research on his own, so he did have some good information debunking some common misconceptions on the origin of various species on the island.

We were pretty disappointed that our hike out to see the lava flow was canceled, but the owner was really great to work with, and let us jump into the hike the following day so we got to see it anyway! For that trip, Shawn was our guide, and he's a very experienced guide and seems to know every single person on the island, and shared some fun local trivia with us :). Sadly, the lava wasn't flowing as strongly as it had been in previous weeks so we saw more spurts than flows, but it was still REALLY cool.

The hike down wasn't as strenuous as I was expecting, they've actually bulldozed the road so it's more like a gravel road than hiking across lava as I was (for some reason) expecting, and there weren't any inclines/declines. They are able to park further into the park than the public, though, the hike was cut down to a 3 mile hike round trip.

Reply from activity provider

Aloha Lilly, We were glad that we were able to accommodate you on a second night. That was the first time that Hawaii Civil Defense blocked the lava viewing area since we have been hiking out via this shorter distance and it was a disappointment, but unfortunately, we can argue with the big guys. :) It is a major safety issue if the south winds are blowing strongly enough to have the SO2 gasses go directly into guests faces.We are glad that you enjoyed the overall experience and we hope that you will be able to visit the islands once again! Thank you for taking the time to write a lovely review and we will be sure to pass on your kind words to our guides. Mahalo!!

Mike and Deanna were our guides this afternoon. They were quick but thorough in equipping everyone and explaining what to expect. The snorkeling was amazing. Though the wind picked up more than expected, they skillfully guided us back across the bay. Great experience that was enhanced by Mike's tales of the history of the bay.

費用が100ドルで、最初はちょっと高いかなと思いましたが、100ドルって11,000円ですよね。生の伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショーを間近に見て、おいしい食事とドリンクは食べ放題、飲み放題だったら、充分リーズナブルでしょう。ほとんど日本人が居ない中で、廻りは英語のみ。不安に固まりでしたが、楽しくて、終わりには司会者の声に合わせてハワイ語の叫び声を上げていました。ルアウ後、舞台で踊ったダンサー達と写真を撮りました。腕にはハワイ人と同じ入れ墨をスタンプ(水性インクなので後ですぐに落ちました)してもらいました。楽しかったなー。

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

Amazing kayak and snorkel

Reviewed by: Harriet

We went as a family of four with two girls, 10 and 8,neither of whom had ever snorkelled. (but both had kayaked). We did the afternoon tour and were really lucky to see the spinner dolphins on the way to and from the snorkeling. The ethos of the tour was amazing. Once spotted, we stopped paddling and let them come to us, no chasing, no interference and Deanna and her colleague (sorry, forgot his name), clearly care so much about the reef and local wildlife, very much respecting it and observing rather than chasing it down. Once on the reef they showed us local plants, and got all our goggles ready for snorkeling. As my kids hadn't snorkelled before they were botha bit scared, but Deanna was super helpful, and got in with them. Once they looked down they were off, and didn't want to come in. Snacks and drinks were provided, as was a history of the Captain Cook monument. Would highly highly recommend.... No guarantees you will get dolphins, but incredibly safe and clear snorkeling, best I have seen and clearly run by people who care most about maintaining the reef and wildlife for future generations.

9歳から60代まで三世代で参加しました。

朝の集合で終わったのは正午でした。

ワイピオ渓谷 乗馬ツアー 絶景のなかを気軽に乗馬体験 <午前・午後/英語ガイド> by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

お勧めです。

Reviewed by: Yuu

乗馬初体験の大人2人、子供2人で参加しました。
集合場所から4駆のマイクロバスのような車に乗ってワイピオ渓谷の下まで降りていきます。ガイドさんが英語で説明をしてくれますが聞き取れなくても問題ありません。渓谷の素晴らしい景色と超急坂降を下る車の動きがちょっとしたアトラクションのようで楽しめます。下に到着するとガイドさんが馬の乗り方について英語と片言の日本語で説明してくれます。ちょっと不安に思いますが身振り手振りでなんとなく理解できることと、馬が十分に調教されているので問題なく乗ることが出来ます。その後一列になってタロイモ畑や滝を見ながら渓谷の中を巡ります。慣れてくると自分で馬をコントロール出来ているような気がしてとても楽しく過ごせます。乗馬経験者には少し物足りないかもしれませんが、未経験の私たち家族は全員大満足の体験でした。

その他
・カイルア-コナからレンタカーで移動しましたが1時間30分かかりました。現地事務所も
 わかりにくい場所にあるので時間に余裕を持て移動することをお勧めします。
・カメラを持参すると途中でガイドさんに写真を撮ってもらえます。
・ガイドさんが「右、左、引く、蹴る」と日本語で必要時言ってくれるので英語が解らない
 子供でも大丈夫です。(本人談)
