Ocean Sports Kohala Coast Snorkel Cruise with Lunch and Open Bar

Black Sand Snorkel Sail

Reviewed by: Helt Family

When we go to tropical destinations we make a point of booking a snorkel sail sometime during our vacation.
We have gone on a number of them in the Caribbean and Hawaii and have really enjoyed them all.
Our all time favorite was the Holo Holo charter on Kauai that took us over to Napali.
My wife and I, as well as our 3 boys, really like getting out on the ocean in a smooth running catamarran.
The Black Sand Snorkel sail was a blast. We really enjoyed the Sea Smoke and the awesome crew. Kane was very friendly and knowledgeable, and Captain Pat was great as well.
One of the main reasons I booked this particular snorkel sail was that it was close to our condo villiage in the Waikoloa Beach Resort. I think it may have been the only one available in that area since most of the others were out of the Kona area.
The only things I would not comment positively on were the fact that the breakfast offering was not good. All they served were some sliced oranges. Other sails I have been on ha

Ocean Sports Kohala Coast Snorkel Cruise with Lunch and Open Bar

Catamaran Black Sand Snorkel

Reviewed by: Paul

Excellent. To start, we went out on the Sea Smoke, little did we know, this was owned by James Arness (Gun Smoke TV show) and he raced this from LA to Hawaii and beat the pack by 2-days… So we were sailing on a piece of history.
Crew was awesome and extremely hospitable. Equipment was very good; food and beverages were high quality and fresh.
We arrived at the dive spot and it was amazing, sea turtles to say the least. The black sand beach was amazing and really different than the typical white sugar sand that most beaches are made of.
I would recommend this to all skill levels and all ages.
On the way back they sent up the sails and turned the engine off, we enjoyed the speed and stability that 60’ catamarans are famous for.
If you have a chance, don't miss this opportunity to view the Big Island and its beautiful coastline from the ocean… Well worth the 4-hour snorkel adventure and very convenient to find as this is anchored at the Waikoloa Marriot.

Big Island Spectacular Circle Island Helicopter Flight with Landing Option

Big Island

Reviewed by: William

To start off with when we were making reservations transportation aparently wasn't available. Don't let them tell you that. They have vans and make pick-ups from the hotel we stayed in. We took the big island spectacular 2 hour. It was nice. The volcano part wasn't what i thought. I expected to see flowing lava. All you see is the top crust of past lava flows. Even the volcano vent wasn't what I thought it would be. The VOG was so thick thast about all you could see. A little let down. Although the 2nd part was the tropical rain forest. We had a nice ride along the ocean front. Went up the valleys and saw more waterfalls than I could keep track of. Pilot even sighted some whales and circled for us. Wind turbulance in some of the valleys made me tighten my seat belt a bit. Later I learned the pilot is a retired coast guard pilot. Wish I knew that going in, I would have been a bit more relaxed.

Can't say enough good things...

Reviewed by: Andrea Barbado

...about to this cruise. My children and I utterly loved this tour and I just want to thank the unforgettable crew members who made this trip a highlight of our vacation. From the moment we stepped onto the boat until we stepped off, it was an absolute pleasure.

Hearing my children's sounds of joy when they saw their first whale breach from the water is something that I will remember always.

TOTALLY AMAZING! When my friends and I saw this tour we were like, "Hmmm, whale watching? Sure why not!" and I am so glad that we decided to go. The boat was great, the view was priceless and seeing humpback whales jumping and slapping the water is something that I will never forget...ever. Like what a great memory to bring back home with me.

キラウエア火山ヘリコプター遊覧　水～土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能＜フライト100分／英語パイロット／ワイコロアヘリポート＞

ヘリツアー!！

Reviewed by: hiro

83歳を含むファミリー6名で溶岩と渓谷のツアーに参加、
運よく操縦士の方が日本人だったので説明もよくわかりとてもよかった。
正直溶岩は海岸に流れているところが見えよかったが、もう少し激しいものを想像していたので？とおもうこともあった。想像以上だったのは渓谷での滝の多さと深く切り込んだ渓谷の間に入っていくのはヘリコプターならではの圧巻で最高！だった。
ハワイ島は地上からの無理なところも多いので、足が弱い方にもおすすめ、多少値段はかかるが空からの眺めは、あっという間の2時間弱、機内での様子を含んだ景色のビデオテープを買い楽しい思い出になりました。

ハワイ島コハラコースト　サンセットセーリング＜軽食＆飲み放題付き＞

考えていたのと違ったーだけど勘違い

Reviewed by: 大島

「ディナークルーズ」というのでもっと大きな船かと思っていたら、ヨットだった。
結構揺れた。
天気はよかったので、サンセット、火山の景色は最高によかった。
バイキングの料理は、ウェブに記載されたものとは全く違った。まずくはなかったが、船上でレタスの入ったサラダを食べようとすると、すべて風に舞った。
でもコストを考えるとこんなもんだろうし、不満ではない。
スタッフは、明るく、親切だった。
帰りの海岸から送迎バスまでを迷ってしまった。
迷っていたらマリオットホテルに着いたので、そのままキングズマーケットでショッピングした。迷ったことを旅デスクに電話したら、「送迎バスは、そんなに心配はしませんよ」とのこと。これがハワイらしいおおらかさのようだ。
ハワイ島でサンセットは5回見たが、すべて違う感じであった。
別オプションのレストランテラス席で食事しながらサンセットを見るほうがよかった。

ECO-Starは観光バスより快適

Reviewed by: ひろ

高額なツアーであることまた、ヘリコプター初体験であることから相当迷いはありましたが、二度と来れないかもしれないと思い申し込みました。
しかし、乗ってしまえばヘリコプターでし見る事ができないキラウエア火山の火口内部の様子や溶岩が海に流れ込む様子など景色は最高で、心配していた揺れなど観光バスで道路を走るより感じられずとても快適でした。
パイロットの説明は全て英語で正直サッパリ判りませんでしたがあの景色に言葉はいらないです。
私はロイヤル・コナ・リゾートからタクシーで行きましたがチップ込で片道＄100もかかったのでこのツアーが主目的であれば宿泊はサウス・コハラ地域がいいでしょう。

Ocean Sports Kohala Coast Snorkel Cruise with Lunch and Open Bar

Go Snorkeling

Reviewed by: Gary

The Snorkel Cruise was one of our top two activities. We very much enjoyed the cruise out to the Black Sand Beach. We saw some whales along the route. We enjoyed the snorkeling even more. This was our first ocean snorkeling cruise experience. We had snorkeled a little bit over the years but no where with as much color and marine life. Highly recommended whether you have snorkeled or not. The staff is very helpful and seem to enjoy their job. (if you can call that a job). Makes it a great experience. Very convenient launch from the Waikoloa Marriot. Very nice for us because that is where we stayed. Others were shuttled there and I am sure that was no problem either. Nice activity. Would do again.

We just came back from our honeymoon in the Big Island. We took this whale watch trip, and I must say this was by far the most enjoyable sailing trip we did in Hawaii.

キラウエアの脅威のパワーを実感

Reviewed by: MARUKO

家族4人（子供2歳・0歳の）で参加しました。座席はパイロットがヘリの安定を保つため全搭乗者の体重を考えて指定されるので窓側に座れるとは限りません。
　パイロットの話す言語は英語なので、各エリアの名前程度は分かりますが英語が苦手な方は景色を楽しんで下さい。乗り心地は良く、揺れもほとんどありません。
　ラバフローは日によって流れ出る量や方角が異なるので、迫力あるラバフローが見られるかどうかは運次第です。
　ヘリの最大の魅力は陸上からは絶対に近づけないエリアに低高度でかなり至近距離に迫れるので、セスナ機とでは迫力が違います。
　参加するなら天候の比較的安定している午前中のなるべく早い時間帯がおすすめです。ヒロは多雨地帯なので午後は雨に降られる確立が高いとのことです。快晴だと、間近にMt.マウナロアを、遠くにMt．マウナケアを見ることができます。
　飛行中の景色や自分達の様子はヘリ搭載のビデをカメラでフルタイム撮影されていて、終了後ＤＶＤとして旅の思い出に是非買って下さい（＄２５程度）。
　日本では出来ない体験なので、ハワイ島に滞在したら是非体験して下さい。（ただし０歳児を一緒に搭乗させることはさすがにおすすめはできません・・・）

Tour of a lifetrime. Chose Blue Hawaiian because of their safety and tour awards. Definitely well-earned! Pilot Bob was knowledgable about Hawaii and well-spoken (and charismatic). He included all the passengers in his presentation and used our names. Always nice! Definitely a fun ride - and a view you can only appreciate from a helicopter.

This was an awesome tour. We took the entire family (3 generations) and all had a blast. I'm sure timing is everything, but we had some really incredible views of flowing lava through "skylights", surface movement, and great views entering the ocean. Our pilot (Marty) was great! Very knowledgable and wanted to make sure everyone on the flight was able to get the best views of lava, waterfalls, and other points of interest. We bought the DVD of our flight afterwards and love it! Thanks Blue Hawaiian for a memorable event that we will cherish forever.

溶岩流見られました！

Reviewed by: tobo

初めてヘリコプターに乗るツアーということで、とても楽しみにしていましたが、期待は裏切られることなくとても楽しいものでした。

今回は、これが目的で父親を連れてきたハワイでしたので、なんとしても赤いものを見せようと思い、上から火口を覗けるヘリツアーを奮発しました。凄いものを見たなとの思いがしました。

２時間コースなのでワイピオ渓谷も見られ、ヘリならではの舐めるような眺め方を堪能出来ました。
この後地上からも車で見に行ったんですが、これはまたこれで高空からと違いを感じる感動がありましたよ。

ヘリのシートは広くて奇麗で、振動も思ったより感じられず、全く恐怖心も起きませんでした。ジェットコースター嫌いな人もまず大丈夫でしょう。もっとスリルがあっても良いと思った位です。

注意点にもありますが、写真を撮る人は暗い服を着て行くべきです。私の場合、前に座っていた人の明るい服が風防ガラスに写り込んでしまい困りました。
他の人のことも考えて暗い服にするべきだと思います。

流れ出る溶岩と噴火口の蒸気に感動しました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

数年前に火山国立公園で地上から観た時とは全く違う風景に驚きました。パイロットの方によると溶岩を観れるかどうかは日によって違うそうですが、幸い私達はドロドロと川のように流れ出る溶岩を上空から観る事が出来ました。

値段は少々高めですが、あそこまで活発な活火山を間近で観る事ができる場所は他にはないので、ここでのヘリコプターツアーはお勧めです。

溶岩だけでなく20年前に噴火した火口から吹き上げる真っ白な蒸気や、溶岩に覆われた広大な大地を空から観る事で自然の驚異を実感することができます。

溶岩に行くまでにジャングルや滝を上空から案内してくれるのも楽しかったです。

パイロットの方の案内は全て英語。解る方はジョークを交えた陽気な説明がとても面白いと思いますし、飛行中に手元のマイクからパイロットの方に質問をする事も出来ます。解らない方も観ているだけで楽しめると思います。

同乗者には杖をついたご老人の方もいらっしゃいましたが、ヘリコプターに乗るところまでカートで送迎したり、優先的に乗り降りのしやすい席に案内したりと、スタッフのサポートにも好感が持てました。

ハワイ島を訪れる友人にも是非進めたいと思います。
