Our guide Jeff picked us up from the Pu'u Huluhulu Cinder Cone parking lot, at the base of the road up to the summit. We had a very nice pre-packaged dinner at the base camp, then rode up to the visitor center and onward to the observatories. A bumpy and steep ride, I was very happy to have an experienced driver at the wheel!
At the top the weather was cool and clear and good for viewing a sunset, then we went down to a slightly lower lot to view stars and planets through a good quality Celestron scope.... the clear air and high altitude really added detail! First time I have been able to make out the rings of Saturn, and four of Jupiter's moons were posing really well for us! Some really excellent deep space views too! Check out a cool image of the moon from the Celestron scope....
Highly recommended, especially if you live somewhere with so much haze and light pollution you don't get to see that stars that well!
Mahalo!!

中学生の娘と参加。ふたりとも英語力が足りないので、ガイドの方の言っている説明が、理解できない部分が多くありました。質問すれば教えてくれるけど、あまり親切に心配りをしてくれるとか、配慮をしてくれるとかは、なかったかな。雨が結構ふっていたし、同じ道をUターンしている感じで、単調な道のり。かしてくれた雨具は、優秀で、隠れている部分は全然ぬれなかったです。晴れてたら、気持ちよかったのかなー。

This adventure was awesome! Lots of fish at both areas but especially the second area. We were the only boat at the second place we went to and there were tons of fish! I wish I would've taken my own snorkel gear but I'll make sure I do next time. Their gear was ok though.
5 hours was a good amount of time and we didn't feel rushed at either stopping area.
The breakfast was good.
I don't eat meat and the veggie burger that they made was pretty bad. I have never had a veggie burger that I liked. I love having everything on a bun with cheese though and that was great.

カヤックで1時間くらい漕ぎます。気持ち良かったし楽しかったです。いくつか注意点が
・日焼けどめ塗らずに出て、足が日焼けで酷い目に遭いました。脚を日に晒してカヤックを漕ぐので御注意を。

Overall, the trip was outstanding. The views were great...a once in a lifetime opportunity. I would recommend this tour to anyone that doesn’t get sea sick.
The only reason I gave 4 rather than 5 stars is I grew up on the Pacific Ocean and have piloted 16’ boat through much choppier waters than we saw. The tour advertises you WILL get wet, and you WILL “feel” the ride, and our captain MADE sure each of us did just that. Unnecessary bottoming out of the boat, turning into waves to drench the passengers and speeding into wave swells made an awesome, incredible trip just good. Speaking to my wife, and several other families that we met on the boat afterward, they all had the same independent view that the captain and crew intentionally made the ride tougher and drenched the passengers to “live up” to their online advertising.
About two weeks prior to our trip, the “lava bomb” was all over the news(yes, it was the same company) and it was well documented that the captains needed to stay at least 900 feet away from lava flowing into the ocean per US coast guard regulations. You’d think that with the recent accident, the captain would’ve been much more safety conscious than what was described above, as well as getting within 150-200 feet on numerous occasions.

Husband and I throughly enjoyed the excursion! Our guide blew us away with his well rounded knowledge of the island, its geography and history. The coffee farm and meal were a special treat before an evening of stargazing.

全てが素晴らしいツアーでした。
マウナケア山頂は雲の上であり、とても美しいサンセットと星空観賞、星空撮影を満喫できました。キラウエアの溶岩が空を赤く照らす現象も山頂から眺められたことに驚きました。
ガイドの説明や案内のレベルも高く、様々な分野にとても詳しい方でした。
食事場所の雰囲気や環境、味も文句なしです。

The Manta experiences one of the greatest things I’ve ever done in my life you need to recommend this all of your friends. The crew was the greatest they were attentive of all your needs. They did everything that they could do to put you in full view of the mantas and they were truly wonderful . I hope that I will be able to return To Kona someday and do this again with the same crew.

The tour guide Herald was very nice, friendly and knowledgeble on native hawaiian's culture, ecology and astronomy. We got to see a "natural planetarium" in the mountain including Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus. Coming from a big city we don't see stars in the sky, so the view was just breath taking and we were soooo glad we participated in the tour. I guess you can go to the summit and see stars on your own but I'd strongly recommend this tour. Because I think it will give you a whole new experience and view on the island and their culture.
Dinner was tasty too. I was expecting a lot less.

I wasn't sure if the tour was worth the money, and also read one negative review about this, which made me hesitant to book the tour. But with the current situation with volcano, the ways available to see lava is either by air or from a boat. I decided to go with the more affordable one.
The ride was very rough. It was fun at first but by the time we got to the point where we can see lava my husband was sea sick and pretty much throwing up everything he had for breakfast and didn't have any energy to actually enjoy the view. I was feeling a bit sick too but not enough to throw up and was able to see how lava was flowing into ocean and how smoke/steam was rising. The view was absolutely spectacular and I don't think you can see anything like that unless you come here. Hence, I'd recommend the tour to everyone but with a medicine for sea sick just in case ;)

今回夫婦で参加しました。本当は溶岩の上を歩く予定でしたが、噴火の勢いがすごく今中止になってるため、いいお値段しますが、何百年に1回のこの惨状をハワイの住人には申し訳ないけどこの目でしっかり見ておきたかったです。
実際参加させてもらい大満足でした。日本人は私どもだけでしたが、英語できないと言っておいたので話を振られることもなく、2人で楽しめました。

When I booked this trip to Hawaii, I was not anticipating Kilauea to erupt actively. In fact when it came on the news that this volcano was spewing lava, I was ready to cancel this trip. However, Kilauea is on the Southeast end of the island and Waikoloa, where we were staying, was far from the volcanic activity. So, we not only kept our trip to big island of Hawaii but also added a helicopter ride to witness an active volcano, which is not something Californians can see on a regular basis, more of a once in a lifetime.
Our pilot, Scott, was great. He took the time to explain what we were seeing, took into consideration of Sophia’s, my 9yo daughter, wanting to see and learn more about this magnificent phenomenon (in fact it was the whole reason for booking this helicopter tour), and took into consideration in providing a smooth, fun, helicopter ride without missing out on being able to see what we need to enjoy the experience of viewing the natural activities of an active volcano. This tour was so worth it. Highly recommended

We thoroughly enjoyed the Manta Ray excursion. The tour guide was great with telling us about the history of this tour and details about the behavior and nature of these Manta Rays. My daughter was most impressed. Although she’s 9yo and a good swimmer, she was still a little nervous about snorkeling at night and meeting these Manta Rays that could come inches to your face. However, the tour guide has made everyone felt safe and she was able to enjoy the magnificence of these gentle sea creatures. Highly recommended
Thank you for joining us and thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are happy to hear you and your family enjoyed the manta excursion. Aloha!

英語に不安があったので、事前に同意書を送ってもらい、記入して持参しました。日本人は私たちのみ、ガイドもオール英語でしたが、指示はわかりましたし、英語が苦手な方もアクティビティが好きならどうにかなります。一緒に参加した方たちとも仲良くなりましたよ。ツアー終了後はディズニーランドのアトラクションのように写真販売もあって、今、後悔していることがあるとすれば、その写真を買わなかったことです。

This company was professional and went out of their way to make sure that everything was in place to make our trip first class. From calling the day before to confirm with us on meeting location and time to hot brownies at the end of the tour. Everything was great and the guide took the time to get to know us so she could make our experience the best it could be.
I would highly recommend this company.

6歳男児を含めた家族3人で、ヒロ発で参加しました。※宿泊先のワイコロアからヒロにレンタカーで移動しました。道もよく、道中も楽しめました♪
滅多にない機会なので、火山活動が見られるコースを予約しましたが、想像以上に間近で噴火口がみることができました。
英語での案内でしたが、操縦士の方が現地の方の様子など丁寧に説明して下さいました。また、その操縦も見事で、安心感のあるものでした。
機体故障で1時間の遅延となりましたが、とても良い体験となりました。ありがとうございました。

We only had one day on the big island and wanted to see as much as possible. This tour takes you all the way around with multiple, although brief stops and several locations. Could omit the coffee tasting and spend more time on the black beach or at the falls.
Our guide, Keith, was full of history, folk lore and traditional information which was a big bonus.
If you want history and a good whirlwind tour of the island, this tour is for you.
Of note, lunch was provided and this service has its own chef who prepares the meals. Very healthy sampling of the typical fare at area restaurants, however, when it’s served in lieu of a cold sandwich and a picturesque park, it suddenly becomes one of the best meals of the vacation.

One of the coolest things we’ve done. The Manta rays would get so close and were so graceful and gentle.
The crew, including Capt Mike Morgan, was awesome and ensured we had a fabulous time. I would rate this as a MUST DO on the big island! Experience of a lifetime!
Thank you for reviewing your trip with us. We are happy to know you enjoyed it. A Hui Hou!!

I was super hesitant to book this tour and unsure if it was worth the money at first. I finally decided, when am I ever going to get a chance to see an active volcano again? I am soooo glad I booked it. The captain and crew on this boat were absolutely wonderful, knowledgeable, and helpful to the seasick. The ride alone was a great time, the sunrise was amazing, and I was completely awe-struck at how close we rode to the lava and how long we stayed there to enjoy it.
I will highly recommend dramamine the night before and morning of as the ride out is a little rough. The crew is more than upfrint about this and super helpful if you do get sick. This review is coming from someone who gets extremely sea sick and threw up the entire ride back,
and I still would go again and think it was worth every penny. Beats a helicoptor tour by a million for the experience and cost!

英語のガイドさんでしたが聞き取りやすい話し方で問題なかったです。イルカは数メートル潜ったり水面近くを泳いだりしていて、とても可愛かったです。東京の御蔵島のイルカも2度見に行ったことがありますが、ハワイ島の方が断然近付いてきます。ケアラケクア湾は珊瑚が枯れ気味?少し心配になりました。最後にフルーツの盛り合わせが出てきて美味しかった!!
よしよし様
この度は弊社のツアーにご参加いただき、またこうしてコメントを残していただき、誠にありがとうございました。楽しんでいただけたようで何よりです。イルカたちも近づいてきてくれたようですね。そうですね、珊瑚は、日焼け止めや地球温暖化など、様々な要因で影響を受けています。美しい地球を次世代に残すためにも、私たち人間の行いを改めていきたいですね。フルーツの盛り合わせも美味しく食べてもらえたようで、良かったです。ありがとうございました。

せっかくのハワイ旅行なので、ちゃんと歓迎をしてもらおうと思いお願いしました。
妻には内緒で予約しておいたので、何かあったら心配でしたが、入管ゲートをうんざりしながら抜けて
前に進むといかにもなハワイアンマダムがプレートを持って立っていました。
あらかじめ妻の名前でお願いしていたので、気づいた妻はビックリ
「私の名前が書いてある!?」
サプライズ成功です。
近年では珍しくなってしまったようで、我々しかサービスを依頼していないようでしたが
記念写真も快く受けてくれ、歓待していただき感謝しています。
また、その後に場所に不慣れな我々のために、レンタカーの待合所まで送ってもらいました。
チップをお渡ししたのですが、残念ながら受け取ってくれませんでした。(夫婦共々感謝しています)
このサービス、生花を貰えることもあり、高いとは思いません。
サプライズをお考えの方には、絶対にオススメです。価格以上の満足です。
頂いたレイは最終日に海へお返ししました。(水をかけてあげれば結構長持ちします)
レビューありがとうございます。私たちの挨拶者はあなたの妻を驚かせて嬉しかったです!ハワイ旅行を楽しんだことを願っています!
