Neither my husband nor I had been parasailing before, but opted for the 1,200ft option because we wanted to get the most from the experience. It was so much fun! I though I'd be a little afraid, but after watching the other folks ahead of us (We were one of two parties on the boat), it didn't seem scary at all. Once we got up the view took our breath away so there was no room for fear. We dipped our feet in the water at the end, and wished the ride could've have been longer than the 15-20 minutes. The crew was great and very patient with my seasickness at the end.

We attended the luau on March 29, 2017 and had a lovely time. It was a buffet style and you could make more than one trip to the table - and to the open bar until 7:00pm. The Mai tais, were delicious, punch bowl style and self serve. The food was good, not great, but there was a good variety. The entertainment was fun to watch, the dances from the different Polynesian Islands were interesting, especially the fire dancer! You can't go to Hawaii without a luau and this is a good one to check out.

This was by far the coolest thing I ever done in my life. Nothing compares to see an active volcano and watch the power of creation right before you eyes.
Excellent service from start to finish. The vehicles are clean and comfortable. The food was substantial for the duration of the tour. For lunch we had an nice picnic lunch at Volcanoes National Park with delicious deli-sandwiches. For dinner we stopped at a local restaurant in Pahoa town with good options for everyone. Inside the van they also carry a cooler and a basket full of snacks and drinks.
The guides were professionals, punctual, courteous and knowledgeable.
Amanda did a wonderful job of blending geography, history and culture. We learned about the flora and fauna native to the area, as well as plants and animals brought to the island. We also learned about the past and recent eruptions.
Inside the Volcanoes National Park we visited Jagger museum and Halema’uma’u Crater. We also had fun seeing the steam vents. The Iki Crater Trail is a nice and easy hike through the rainforest and after that we walked through Thurston Lava Tube.
After leaving the park we drove by Pahoa Town and I was very impressed to see how close the lava flow got to this little town in 2015 / 2016. We had dinner and then we drove to Kalapana for the best part of the day.
Nui Pohaku offers the shortest hike to the viewing point where the lava is flowing to the ocean. it was an easy 30 to 40 min walk until the end of the trail. Walking right next to the lava fields was an amazing experience and witness the explosive power of the volcano pouring lava to the ocean was unbelievable.
As the sun sets the colors change and you see the eruption getting crazy bright shades of orange, red and yellow. Once the sun is down they give you flashlights to help the hike back tot he car and we were blessed with an awesome stargazing.
Everything was as promised...and better!

男女ともにエース級の2人はすごいダンサーです。
が、ほかのメンバーは草野球レベルかな。
まあショーとしては面白いです。
食事もなかなかです。

家族4人とも、乗馬初体験。英語も完璧には理解できていない。 ・・・けれども皆、最高に楽しめました! 馬がよく調教されているので、12歳の娘も「怖くなかった」と言っていました。何度か川を越えたのですが、それが面白かったです。心地よい風も吹いていて、景色も素晴らしく、乗馬時間もちょうどよく、大満足の体験でした。ヘルメットは借りることができます。お財布やカメラを入れておけるバッグも借りれます。お天気が良かったので半袖でちょうど良かったです。虫はいませんでした。 とにかくオススメです!

料理は美味しかったけど、ドリンクの種類は少なめ。
同じドリンクしか飲めない状態で、子どもが不満だった様子。
ケーキは最初の一口は美味しいが、たくさん食べると胸焼けしました。
英語が通じる方にはオススメですが、英語がわからない方は
止めた方が良いかも。
海に沈む太陽がとても良かったです。雰囲気は最高!

日本語ガイドはないですが、スタッフの方が頑張って日本語でも説明してくれてました。
クジラを見れば、言葉のことなんて全く気にならないです。
素敵な体験をさせてもらいました。

スタッフの方がすごくにこやかで、フレンドリーでした。
一つの船に4組乗っていたので飛んでいる時間より待っている時間のほうがずっと長いです。そのため普段酔わない家族も船の揺れでかなりグロッキーになっていました。
眺めは最高、気持ち良いです。
写真もSDカードでもらえるので、何枚も入っていて良かったです!

1つのグループに日本人は数名、説明も全て英語で全く英語がわからない娘は最初戸惑って、完全に固まっていました。しかしイルカとのふれあいタイムが始まると、言葉の壁もなんのその、自然と笑顔がこぼれ、とっても楽しかったようです。写真も良いショットばかりでついつい沢山購入してしまいました。イルカと触れ合うなんてなかなか体験できない!のでお勧めです。
Aloha,
Thank you for choosing Dolphin Quest!
We are happy to hear that your daughter had a good time petting and learning about dolphins in our Kid's Quest program. Dolphin Quest educators try to speak across languages the importance of marine mammal conservation, most of the time our dolphins are the best ambassadors for these lessons. We hope your family can come back again for another experience on your next visit to Hawaii!
Mahalo,

牧場まではレンタカーで向かいましたが、道のりはそんなに難しくなかったです。むしろ途中の車窓に目を奪われる程の素晴らしい景色でした。乗馬は途中で希望する人には駆け足もやらせてもらえます。初心者は常歩のままでも大丈夫ですので、レベルに応じてうまいことやってくれます。とても良い体験でした。

This dinner cruise was awesome! The crew were most helpful and friendly, the food was delicious, the guide was beautiful and very informative, the boat has little tables for your plate and cup holders for your drinks which is all most convenient, and Captain Rick made it super fun. We recommend it to everyone who asks us what to do in Hawaii. Thank you all for the great night. See you next year!

最高の1時間ありがとうございました。
前日にヘリの手配で連絡が来た時はオーシャンエントリーへ行くため一生懸命自転車をこいでいて気づきませんでした。メールにて確認も取れ念願のドアなしヘリでの予約も取れました。当日は外人パイロットでの英語説明でしたがわからないなりに聞き溶岩の流れ・昨日自転車をこいだ道・オーシャンエントリーの空の上から見る事ができました。ヘリに乗るのも初めてでしたが、すぐ横にあるドアのないヘリに乗るのも今後ここに来るほかは無いかと思いました。貴重な体験感謝です。次回オプションを計画する時には相談させてください。ありがとうございました。

Excellent, the shuttle was waiting for us on our arrival. The driver was helpful and showed us many sights on the way. The hostess was was extremely helpful as my Mom was in a wheelchair. It was a perfect way to transfer to our hotel.

友人たちとハワイ島でゆっくり過ごしました。ワイピオ渓谷での乗馬はわくわくでした。お馬さんたちがとても賢くて躾が行き届いていました。案内のように付いてくるワンちゃんたちがとっても可愛くて最高でした。ガイドさんたちもとても親切で楽しい方々でした。素敵な思い出になりました。今度もまた会いに行きたいと思います。

2歳の子どもと一緒に参加しました。子どもが興味を引くように、インストラクターの人は上手に誘導してくれました。我が子は、初めは怖がっていましたが、慣れてくると、魚をあげることもできました。イルカと触れ合う時間は、思ったより長く(その時の参加者は、私たち含めて2組だけだったという事もあるかもしれませんが)、親子二人でこの価格なら満足です。ただ、写真は高い(一枚2000円くらい)と思います。もう少し安ければ(同じ2000円くらいになったとしても)複数枚購入したかったです。
Aloha,
Thank you for choosing Dolphin Quest! We are so happy to hear your young family had such a great time! We hope to have your family back again when the little one is a bit older for a longer interaction! In the meantime, we hope the memories you made last forever!
Mahalo!

We went to the Legends of Hawaii Luau at the Hilton Waikoloa Village on the big island of Hawaii on February 21st, 2017, and we had a great time.
We were not part of a tour, nor were we staying at the Hilton, so we went with Ali'i VIP seating that included valet parking, table side desserts/appetizer/drinks, faster access to the food, and closer seating over the normal tickets. I think it was worth the extra $30 for the VIP seating.
We were right in the front row, and had excellent seats. The show itself was great. In particular, we loved the fire dancers.
Before the show, we could see part of the sunset in the sky with the palm trees.
The only negative was before the show. Both me and my wife can only stand for a limited amount of time. After you check in and get the picture taken, it was something like a 1/2 hour wait until the doors opened. In the queue after the check-in, there was no seating. There was some (but not much) seating before the check-in.

We saw several manta rays and they were amazing! Some came up to the surface and could be seen from the boat. Captain Morgan and Troy were awesome! They were funny, personable and told some great stories. While in the water, Troy and Cory were always making sure everyone was doing okay. I would definitely recommend this excursion with Sea Paradise and this crew.
March, 2017
Thank you for reviewing your tour. We are so happy you enjoyed the manta experience and the crew treated you well. Hope to be able to serve you again.
Mahalo!

私(77歳)娘(49)と孫(16)の3人で参加しました。3人とも初めての乗馬経験でしたが、乗馬前のレクチャーも的確で馬も良くなれており全く心配なく大いに楽しめました。これはおすすめです。以前ⓑ荷馬車で参加しましたが、沢に沿って進み等全く違う経験でした。
