Great tour, the guide was very knowlegable answering all questions put. The trip was worth every penny. The sunset seen from the summit was truly spiritual.

Mike Nelson was the best guide! He knew everything about the island - and catered to our needs. He gave us options based on our interests and prior experience on the island. He did his best to give us a good understanding of the people, history, culture, and economy of the island. Knew local legends, astronomical information, plant and animal facts, as well as best "tips" on everything from restaurants and beaches, to coffee and desserts.
Aloha! Mahalo for joining us on our Deluxe Volcano Experience. We are delighted to hear that you had such an awesome day with Mike. He is such a wonderfully knowledgeable guide who really helps our guests connect with Hawaii while on tour, and with the great tips for the rest of your stay, you're sure to experience all of Big Island's best! Mahalo for your recommendation and we hope to see you on your next visit to the Big Island.

Dylan was fantastic as a guide on this excursion!! The ride on the Segways was a complete blast!! We were able to take the ride as a family (4 people). Dylan explained all the plants and the uses for medicinal ones as well as let us taste some of the ones that we would have never had knowledge of before. We would DEFINITELY do this again!!!

ケアウホウベイでは集合場所が分からずウロウロしましたが、時間にはボートを引いた車と共に船長のタカさん、ガイドのキャシーさんが来てくれて無事に出発しました。なんと私たち2人だけの貸切でした❣️
先ずはイルカを追ってボートはひた走り、見つけたらタカさんがポイントで船を止めて、素早く海へ❗️
一瞬モタモタしても遅れます
何回か繰り返し、それなりにはイルカは見れましたが水中写真はうまく撮れず・・・こんなもんかなぁ〜と思っていました。
2人だけなので「どうしますか?シュノーケルに移動しますか?」と聞かれ、最後もう一回イルカと泳ぎたいと希望❣️
ラストチャンスでは、たくさんのイルカを見て、一緒に泳いで大満足でした♪
次はシュノーケルに移動。途中で洞窟やペレの岩など見所に立ち寄りながらケアラケクア湾に到着❗️
透明度の高い湾では時間を忘れて夢中でした♪
そろそろ帰ろうか〜!と声がかかるまであっという間でした。大満足の半日となりました。もう少しいたかった。タカさん、キャシーさんありがとうございました♪
MARIKO様、レビューを残してくださっていたことに今気付き、お返事が大変遅くなり申し訳ありません。わざわざレビューを残してくださり、ありがとうございました。他のお客様のためにも集合場所の説明をもう少し分かり易いように改善いたしますね。ご指摘ありがとうございました。充分楽しんで頂けたようで、スタッフ一同大変嬉しく思います。MARIKO様が三あkしてくださった日はお二人だけだったようですね。弊社のボートはお客様は6人までなので、まるでプライベートチャーターのようなツアーを味わって頂けることが醍醐味となっております。またハワイ島に来られることがありましたら、お声をかけてください。

初めての乗馬に訪れたとてつもなく広い牧場。フレンドリーで素敵な女性二人に指導を受け、さあ挑戦。いきなり自分で馬を駆りついて行かなくてはならないのにはビックリしたけど馬達は慣れたものでした。途中で少し速足になった時は恐くなり、ゆっくり歩くだけにしてもらいました。でも山の斜面を登ったり下ったり、ぬかるみの中に入っていったりでずっとドキドキ。英語の喋れない主人は思ったことを伝えられず大変だったようですがそれ以外は本当に爽快で素晴らしい体験になりました。私たちは1時間半のプランに参加したのですが、後で内股に筋肉痛があり3時間にしなくて良かったと思いました。次回ハワイ島に訪れることがあればまた参加したいと思います。

家族5人での参加でした。危ないかなと心配だった一番下の子(7歳)ですが全く問題なく楽しんでました。サメ、イルカも見れてよかったです。船にトイレがないのが少し難点で水分取り過ぎ注意です!帰り漏れそうでした(笑)

Kayaking with Kevin (owner and our guide that day) was a lot of fun! Kev was very nice and friendly. He did a quick briefing on how to use the kayak and the paddles. And we were on our way exploring bay after bay and caves after caves. There were plenty of locations to snorkel. Kev took great photos, too! He brought us fresh tropical fruits for our snack and they tasted soooo good, especially after the snorkeling and paddling! King Kayak Hawaii is definitely the company to book this adventure with! Thanks Kev!

This activity was totally worth it. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. The canoe was very cool, too. We saw plenty of manta rays. If you like small groups for night snorkel, then this is your best bet. Hot cocoa was provided after the swim. We had a lot of fun! This is definitely a must-do and I highly recommend Eka Canoe for your reservation!

初めてのハワイ島。シュノーケルと溶岩の岸壁でオーシャンラフティングも楽しめるということで妻と二人で参加させて頂きました!
10時出発なので、朝ゆっくりホテル周辺を散歩などして、レンタカーで集合場所のハーバーへ。他の参加者の方もみんな到着して少し早めに出発!
シュノーケルポイントまでのオーシャンラフティングでは、途中様々なスポットに止まってくれて説明してくれるので、写真撮影や観光を楽しめました。
そして野生のイルカもたくさん!こんなに居るとは思いませんでした。
シュノーケルポイントでは水の透明度が抜群で、湾の中にあるため波もなく、最高のシュノーケルスポットでした。魚の数も多く、まるで水族館。ランチのサンドイッチもおいしかったです。
ただコナの日射しがものすごく強くて。。日焼け止めしていたのですが、シュノーケルに夢中で背中がひどく日焼けしました!要注意です!
帰りのラフティングも、溶岩の岸壁で海からしか見られない貴重な景色で迫力満点。
一緒のツアーの方は皆海外の方でいい人ばかりでした。
ありがとうございました。

Very enjoyable day. The crew was friendly, but the bartender could have had some help. More help for the bartender, would have made the company more money. Fun that we also caught a fish.

We loved the day out. Our guide was super friendly, informative and easy going. He handled the group of non english speakers with us really well. And he gave us great local info. We kayaked, snorkeled, cliff dove, snorkeled again, ate and it didn't feel rushed at all. Had an intense moment staring into the clear blue water while snorkeling - most memorable moments of my trip. Thanks you all!

I've taken three different groups on three different manta swims and this one was the best! I really liked how we were tethered to the boat so that inexperienced snorkelers and people that got cold could easily climb back on the boat while the rest of us could continue to enjoy the mantas. Because we were on the moonlight swim, we were in the harbor by ourselves by the end. All the mantas (four total that night) were ours to observe. It was awesome.
This is really a must-do for your Big Island trip.
Thank you for your wonderful review on our Moonlit Manta Snorkel. We are so pleased your tour was such a success. It is our goal to have every person rate us as the best snorkel tours in Kona! You just described the advantages of doing the Moonlit tour. I always recommend this tour to people with children. Because there are only two to three boats at the later tour time, this allows us to tether the light board directly to the boat instead of swimming the light board in the middle of twenty something boats and their light boards to give you the best show. Some parents might have to switch out with their partner if they bring their young children (toddler's and babies are always welcome). There might also be children and/or adults that have some apprehension and would prefer to have the boat near by as a comfort. We hope you will remember us on your next trip to Kona. Mahalo!

Our group took the morning tour and it was great to have the place to ourselves for a fair amount of time. The snorkeling was best before all the other boats arrived. The kayaking was fun and not too difficult. We had two people in our group that had never kayaked before and they enjoyed themselves.

平均年齢60歳代の女性4人で参加しました。今回のハワイ島は特に「ダウンヒル(自転車)ツアー」が楽しみで、可なり早くに申し込みしました。ところが、催行人数に足らず「他のアクティビティに変更を!」とのメールが度々、でも諦めず待ちました。嬉しい事に日本を発つ前日に「催行決定」との連絡が入り、初参加できました。早朝6時ワイコロアを出発、集合場所に多少迷いながらも時間内に無事到着、何と参加者は私達4人以外は全員アメリカ人で総勢15~16のツアーになっていました。ガイドの説明は英語との事で不安がありましたが、幸いにもガイドのタローさんが日本語でもポイントをとても分かり易く説明してくださり、私達はラッキーでした。キラウエア火山の山頂から見た景色は絶景!、美味しい空気を吸って走る気分は爽快!で、あっと言う間の楽しい「半日コース」でした。申し込みをギリギリまで諦めず、参加でき最高に良かったです。体力的にも心配なさそうなので次回は是非「一日コース」に参加したいです。、

The tour guides were very nice and skilled at their jobs: driving down the rocky, curvy road to the horse barn and then helping everyone enjoy their time on their horses. Although my horse was not the most obedient, the guides always tried to help me keep up with the group and have patience with me and the horse. I definitely enjoyed my first time horseback riding especially since the walk around the area was very beautiful. After this experience, I definitely learned how to ride a horse (lead it, understand its needs, etc) and also appreciate how beautiful Waipio valley is.

この度はお世話になりありがとうございました!
友達と2人での参加させて頂きました!
レンタカーを借りてましたので、現地集合でしていくつかツアーや集合場所があり、探しましたが、道が広いので問題なく、現地の方々に聞いてすぐに見つかりました!
10時集合ということで、朝食をゆったりととったあと、バタバタすることなく行動することができましたとても良い時間でした!!
桟橋で偶然ウミガメを見つけて感動しました♡
ボートで約10名乗船しキャプテンクックの場所まで移動しましたが、途中鯨を発見し、何度か止まって頂き皆さんで撮影しました!
そのお気遣いも嬉しかったです!
シュノーケルポイント到着してからは約1時間半、シュノーケルしたり、ランチのサンドウィッチ頂きボートで食べたり!海が綺麗で、綺麗な魚がたーくさん!それはまるで水族館にいる様でした!
時折聞こえるキーキーという音が、、イルカでした♡
同じツアーに参加されていた外国人の方々も良い方ばかりで、楽しく会話したりいろんな場所から来られていて観光客が多いようですね!
1時間半は本当にあっという間!でしたが、帰り道でも絶景の渓谷ポイントに止まって下さりと、シュノーケルだけでなく、他の楽しみを味わせて頂きました!
ただ日焼けをしますので、必ず日焼け止めは必要です…とんでもなく焼けてしまい大変なことになってますが、これもまた良い思い出です!!
港に戻り、またまたウミガメを発見!!
2度も見れて最高でした!!
港には3時着でしたので、ハワイ島の北のほうへ買い物したり観光でき、ホノコハウマリーナは良い場所にありましたのでそれもまた魅力でした!!
なかなか日本では味わえない経験をさせて頂きました!綺麗な海でいろんな、魚達を見ることで癒されましたし、1時間少し海に浸かるだけですので全く疲れませんし、丁度良い時間で、またハワイ島に行く時があれば是非参加させて頂きたくおもいます!
ありがとうございました!

現地までは、タクシーで行き車が港に近づくと青い屋根が目印ということだったので見つけるべくキョロキョロしましたが、いろいろなツアーの会社が並んでいてすぐにわかりました。もちろん集合時間に遅れることなく到着しました。受付ではすべて英語でしたが、日本語の説明書もありサインをしていよいよボートに乗り込みました。ラフティングが初めてだったのでボートの速さと風に負けそうでしたが、何より爽快だし海も空も本当に青く最高でした!途中アヒや鯨の仲間に遭遇しながら目的のケアラケクア湾に到着しシュノーケルタイムが始まりました。今回スマホの水中ケース初使用で海の中を自分でとりました…楽しいです!夢中になります!
キャプテンがカットして用意してくれたパインとオレンジが、めちゃくちゃおいしかった。ランチタイムが終わる頃、湾の中の少し遠くでイルカが泳いでいたのでボートで少しずつ近づいて行くと周りを10頭くらいのイルカたちが遊んでいます。こんなに近くで野生にイルカを見たのも初めてです。もう1度シュノーケルタイムを楽しんだ後、帰りは海岸線に沿ってボートは進みますが、陸の上からでは眺めることの出来ない迫力ある景色をみることができました。残念なことは私が英語を理解できないこと。もしキャプテンの説明が理解できていたらもっと良かったでしょう…とはいえわからないなりにも十分楽しめました。それとタクシーで行く場合、運転手が帰りの迎えの予約もしてくれましたが、少し時間を余裕をみて時間を決めると良いと思います。私達は30分待たせたのでチップを余計に払うことになりました。

I must start this review with big Mahalo to our tour guide Jim Carrey, you made this tour great and memorable for my wife Laura and myself. My suggestion would be for anyone interested in a great tour on the Big Island that is focused on cultural, geological, flora and fauna ecosystems of the island to book this tour for the beginning part of their stay, since it will open a number of the other visits and adventure that one can do on their own. Bring a camera and warm clothing, but if you forget your jacket don't worry your tour guide Jim is prepared with a number of coats to lend to those that had forgotten theirs. This whole day tour is packed with interesting place to visit, local folklore and legends. Jim is such a great narrator that makes the whole Hawaiian culture alive during the tour. You will be introduced to multiple Hawaiian chants, songs and legends during the entire day. Food is exquisite and plentiful, tastefully prepared to satisfied everyones need and desire. The crown jewl of this tour is night visit to Volcanic National Park for night lava viewing and star gazing. Jim is so knowledgeable in field of celestial observations and he comes prepared with a strong pair of binoculars that are powerful enough to give you glance of lava inside crater and to offer great view on planets and constellations visible from the craters edge.
Once again Mahalo to Jim Carrey and his company for offering us a unique view on Hawaiian culture and beautiful eco-system that is so different then anywhere on the planet.
Aloha! Mahalo for joining us on our Deluxe Volcano Experience. We are delighted to hear that you had such a fun day with Jim! He is a wonderfully knowledgeable guide who loves sharing his songs and stories of Hawaii, helping our guests to connect with the Big Island while on tour. Looking into Halema'uma'u Crater is so mesmerizing and we are so excited to hear that you folks actually got to see some lava with those amazing binoculars! Mahalo for your recommendation and we truly hope to see you on your next visit to the Big Island for some more fun times!

This cruise is just as advertised, a nicely narrated cruise down the southern coast from Kailua-Kona to Capt. Cook's monument. We had amazing visits from the spinner dolphins, had drinks and appetizers on the way out to the cove, and a local guitarist playing for us throughout the trip. The dinner was good, there was plenty to eat for everybody. The sunset was also very beautiful.

The voucher we printed was a little confusing. It had the correct zip code and address, but the wrong location in one area, and the correct location in another. Leave early so you can find the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and the Hulakai Beach Hut. It is NOT at the Waikoloa Resort. We got there right on time and met Chris at the hut. He was very nice and friendly, low key and patient. I guess he's done this a lot with us novices! The cove was flat and glassy, and easy to get back on the board if you fall. After some practice in the cove, he lead us out past the breakers into a little more challenging water, but still not horribly choppy. Turned around and headed back into the cove. I had an easier time, so it may be more difficult for some people than others. Relax as best you can, keep looking up and you should be well on your way!

At the time we made this reservation my wife and I did not realized that this would be a best thing we did on our vacation. From the moment we met our Guides, husband and wife Kevin and Noni O'Conner we were treated with such care and attentiveness to our requests and needs during the whole trip. I would highly recommend that anyone interested into snorkeling on Big Island to look for King Kayak Tours. To start with they specialized in small groups tours, that day it was only us!! We enjoyed this trip a lot more that any other snorkeling tours that we were on previously. Location where we did go was close by to our launching point, we had seen a lot more tropical fish and turtles that anywhere else. Equipment was a top notch, snacks provided during the tour ware excellent and plentiful. We absolutely love it, and this would be one of the tours that we would do it again just to be in such a great and knowledgable company such is Noni and Kevin. Added bonus is that they bout are fluent in Japanese, and are offering tours for Japanese speaking tours as well as for English speaking groups. For Laura and I this was such a special treat since it was our wedding anniversary that day end memories that were built during this tour will stay with us forever. Another note, don't worry about photos during the tour they have great camera and they will be taking photos of you so you could focus on enjoying your self.
Once again thanks so muck Noni and Kevin for making our Special day even more Special!!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are very happy that you both had a good and memorable time. We hope to see you again! Aloha!
