Kealakekua Bay Guided Kayak & Captain Cook Snorkel Tour - Adventures In Paradise
Excellent snorkeling plus a kayak paddle
Reviewed by: Elaine
The trip starts early so you can be the first on the water and the first to snorkel before the crowds show up. The paddle over to the Cook Monument was easy. We stopped for a history and a geology lesson which were interesting. Once the Kayaks were landed we walked to the Monument where we donned our snorkel gear and jumped into the water. Everywhere on the Big Island is difficult to enter the water. This was just an easy jump.
The fish were a wide variety with lots of groups of yellow butterfly fish. They come here for the waters which are a mix of fresh from the lad and salt water. The blurry effect of the waters mixing is fun. This place lets the fish clean themselves of irritants. The coral was fine but some was quite damaged.
The park only allows a limited number of snorkelers at this location. They should dial the numbers back as it became crowded quickly when five boats showed up about fifteen minutes after our snorkel started.
The paddle back was easy and it was still morning.

Hawaii Lifeguard Surf Instructors - Kona Private & Semi-Private Surfing Lessons
Group lesson
Reviewed by: Lvklysnatour
The kids had fun. However, next day they wanted to try on their own and could not time the waves. I would add a focus on teaching the kids when to start peddling. But average it was good for the first timers.

ハワイ島 サーフィンレッスン カハルウビーチパークで波乗り体験！マンツーマンのプライベートレッスンもあり＜英語インストラクター／現地集合＞
初めての子供たちには最適
Reviewed by: けんけん
せっかくのハワイなので、中学生の息子と大学生の娘に初めてサーフィンレッスンを受けさせてみました。ホテルからすぐ近くの受付所に行き、簡単な指導を受け、ラッシュガードとシーソックスをかり、案内された通り自分で現地に向かいました。グループレッスンでしたが、自分の子供たち以外に参加者がおらず、実質のプライベートレッスンとなりました。海に出て１時間位指導してもらいましたが、初心者にちょうど良い波で、かつちょうど疲れるくらいで終了し、参加した子供たちも見ている我々も、ほどいい感じで楽しめました。
Mahalo for joining us.

タイトルの高さ表記は嘘
Reviewed by: ＲＳ６
タイトルに記載されている高さは嘘で、引っ張るロープの長さのことでした。
高さはせいぜい30〜40ｍなので、100ｍ以上の高さを期待して行くとガッカリすると思う。
予想していたよりスピード感を感じる事は無く、空中で吊られている感じです。

プライベートな空間で未来を語り合える！同じ志を持った仲間と乗るのがおすすめ！
Reviewed by: シンメトリー美人プロデューサー Roe
今回、起業家の当たり前を成長させるハワイ合宿でのアクティビティ担当として参加しました！
パラセイリングを選んだ理由は、
普段できない体験をして、
起業家の心に感動や未来に対する感情を
注入することができるアクティビティとして選びました。
高いところが苦手でなければ、爽快そのものです。
時折、揺れることも楽しさを助長してくれます。
１５０m上空の
他にはないプライベートな空間で、
見渡す限りの空と海、
斜め下には小さくなったボートを見ながら、
ときおり揺れちょっぴりスリリングな環境のなかで、
仲間と３年後の未来を語り合う、
とっても思い出深い体験となりました。
終わってから思うことは、
上空から、大きな声で今後の目標を叫んでみることをやってみたら、
もっと盛り上がっただろうということ。
また次回の時には、ぜひ取り入れたいと想います＾＾

Hawaii Lifeguard Surf Instructors - Kona Private & Semi-Private Surfing Lessons
Awesome experience and a fun new skill gained!
Reviewed by: Nick Smith
I've always wanted to learn how to surf and Jason was totally awesome and fun to work with. Although there were high surf warnings and strong current warnings going on at the time, I nailed a perfect 10, according to him, on only my 5th wave. I later got 3 in a row, including standing up, surfing the wave, and laying back down again without falling in the blue water below. I quickly caught on to many of the trends, such as interpreting the waves and knowing when to go for it. The first thing to do with learning most any skill is to find patterns.
Jason called me a natural at it, and I believe it, given how quickly I learned and how enjoyable my experience was. It did take me a bit of time to get used to getting up to the standing position from laying down, but the classroom-like aspect of the first segment really helped with that.
I would say the hardest part about this whole thing was finding a parking space for where you'd be doing the actual surfing itself. If you're lucky, you could find parking along the street close by, but chances are, you'll need the parking lot that's close to around 700 feet away, but what's a little walking when you've got a lot of paddling to do? It's a nice warm up, at least, to prepare yourself.
I chose the one on one option mainly because I felt it was going to be a skill I wanted to use in other locations. Little did I know, it actually ensured I could do this as everyone but me canceled due to the surf conditions.

This was the best idea we had to add to our Hawaiian vacation. I felt very lucky that my family of 3 had a private tour via the ocean from a native. Chris was AWESOME. Super nice. Shared a lot of Hawaiian culture with us. That alone was great but it was even better to get our lesson on sea while looking back at the island. Totally totally worth it.

Absolutely gorgeous morning...our guides Ben and Happy were amazing....they were really great....very helpful and very knowledgeable....it was the advertising of this event that I'm pissed about....me and my kids wanted to travel into sea caves....well....there was no sea cave...it was literally a hole in the mountain.....you don't go into a "cave" and explore and see amazing things....you literally go up to a wall and thats it. Had I known that....I wouldn't have dropped $85.00 bucks each to paddle out in a kayak to see a hole in a mountain!!! It's very misleading and I wouldn't waste the money on this.....we did see dolphins run by us in the kayaks, we did see some fish while snorkeling..even though my mask they provided kept fogging up...I eventually just gave up on the snorkeling and sat on a rock until it was time to go. No pictures to provide bc go pro didn't work.

Fabulous Kayaking Tour/Lots of Fun
Reviewed by: Linh
My husband and two kids (12 and 9 y.o.) went on this kayaking tour. At first, I was nervous that 4 hours would be too long and my kids would not last. It turned out that my kids and husband loved it and could have gone longer. It was easy paddling. The day was perfect for kayaking - very relaxing and beautiful scenic route. Best part was snorkeling at Keauhou Bay. Our guide, Kevin, at King Kayak was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us a good history overview. Would definitely do this again and want to go longer next time.

Aloha All,
Thank you for the review, glad to hear the kids had fun. And happy to hear the kids wanted to try on their own. Learning how to read the ocean and time the waves for most takes years of experience in the ocean. We tell novice surfers who are serious about learning how to surf and become avid surfers, do not get discouraged- keep at it. It takes time to develop the skills to read and feel the ocean and develop the instincts to really hone in on. But keep at it, that's what our Hawaiian lifeguards and avid watermen are there to provide for everyone and we appreciate you all joining us! We are born and raised in the islands and live and breathe the amidst the ocean to share that experience with as many people as we can- it is not something you can learn rapidly- but we encourage surfers to keep at it and remember you will progress with the more time you put into it.
