We had a great time kayaking the beautiful clear blue water with our guides Ben and Devin. Was a lot of fun getting to snorkel and cliff jump and the guides provided us with snacks and drinks on the cliffs. The highlight for sure, however, was having a pod of dolphins swim by/amongst us on both our way there and our way back. Awesome time. Thanks Ben and Devin!

We went on the kayak tour to a sea cave on June 27th. There were two adult's and 2 kids in our group. Overall they took out 20 people, so 10 double boats, with 2 guides. Happy & Ben were our tour guides and each took turns along the route to tell us interesting facts about the area. We had drinks and snacks at the area for cliff jumping. My only let down was there was no mention of sea caves nor did we go in one which I was really looking forward to since it was on the description and why I chose this one. However overall it was a great experience and the guides were very friendly and fun! The kids really enjoyed it and the snorkel time,

Our guides were very nice, funny and competent but we had no idea we were kayaking 3 miles total, which took up about 45 minutes each way. The area at which we snorkeled was "OK" - no brilliantly colored coral and saw only a few fish. We did some cliff jumping which was nice. We did not see any caves and nobody explained why. The kayak trip back was slightly difficult and very choppy due to all the boaters. Be aware that you spend much more time kayaking than you do snorkeling and it is physically demanding - one mother-daughter (adult daughter) couple had to be towed back. It was a good experience but wouldn't do it again.

This was a really unique way to see the island, and my family and I had a blast! The snorkeling quality and difficulty of kayaking obviously vary with weather, but the beautiful views are amazing no matter what! The seas were pretty rough the day we went out, so we couldn't spend as much time in the cave, but the guides were really helpful, and we were still able to see plenty of fish, eels, and urchins despite the weather. The guides also pointed out some historical sites and things we never would have noticed alone. Excellent day trip!

This was a fun activity, and totally safe. Our 4 yr old was not too excited at first, but later enjoyed it as we went out into the ocean. The highlight for her was getting to touch the water while sitting in the canoe, and seeing a turtle swimming close to us. The guide was experienced, and wanted to play safe since we had a young kid, but later realized that we could handle going out further into the ocean. It was a blast.

初のパラセーリングでした!
やはりハワイ島なので受付と海上スタッフはあまり日本語が通じるようではありませんでしたが、親切な対応でした。
船は自分たちカップルだけで、独占状態でした。
高い景色からの海はもちろん最高で、マウナ・ケアもよく見えました!
ただ、慣れてないからか船がけっこう揺れるのとパラセーリング中の揺れで、酔いました...
自信がないかたは酔い止め服用をおすすめします。

The crews are very patient, sweet and helpful. It was a fun trip allthough a lot harder than we (two sisters) expected. They ended up towing us because we were behind everyone.
The best part was eating awesome pineapples and feeding the skins to the fish. The deep blue ocean is really beautiful, absolutely worth it.

Took our family on this excursion and had a great time. Kevin was very knowledgeable about the area and gave great directions for sea kayaking. Our family likes the water but we had never sea kayaked before. The sea cave was my favorite and the kids loved the snorkeling. The optional cliff jump was a blast for me (43) and Kevin gave great directions to keep feet together, arms at side, and stay vertical. Kids may have a hard time following the directions as instinct is to flail arms when falling and if they do then it will be unpleasant when they hit the water. The snacks Kevin brought were refreshing after our adventure. We had a great time and would do it again.

高所恐怖症&車に乗った瞬間酔う私ですが楽しめました。
ボートは私たちだけで、船の待機時間が少なかったのでよかったですが、なん組かいたら船酔いしていたと思います(^^;出発してから捕まってても振り落とされそうなくらい揺れてパラセイリングよりも船の方が怖かったです(笑)
英語のみですが、みなさん面白い方達で出発前から盛り上がり、注意事項とちょっとした会話を楽しみながらポイントへ向かいました。
空からみる景色はとってもきれいで、高さも思ったよりも高さは感じなくて、やってよかったです!写真をお願いしましたが25~30枚をSDカードでもらえて41ドルでした。

We chose the morning Kayak tour, it was a bit of a walk to get to the dock but were greeted warmly by Hauoli, our guide, and Ben. We stowed our valuables in their lock box and paddled out into Keauhou Bay and out into the ocean past the Sheraton Hotel, the Lekeleke/Kuamo'o sacred burial grounds, and the End of the World burial grounds which is a great tourist spot too. We got to the Sea Cave but because the swells were too high and dangerous that day, we admired them from outside. Our guide, Hauoli, made our tour so much fun. He regaled us with the history and attractions of the area, and being a local, was very knowledgeable and interesting. We did not stay for snorkeling or cliff jumping but thoroughly enjoyed our time kayaking.

Mike and Deanna were our guides this afternoon. They were quick but thorough in equipping everyone and explaining what to expect. The snorkeling was amazing. Though the wind picked up more than expected, they skillfully guided us back across the bay. Great experience that was enhanced by Mike's tales of the history of the bay.

We went as a family of four with two girls, 10 and 8,neither of whom had ever snorkelled. (but both had kayaked). We did the afternoon tour and were really lucky to see the spinner dolphins on the way to and from the snorkeling. The ethos of the tour was amazing. Once spotted, we stopped paddling and let them come to us, no chasing, no interference and Deanna and her colleague (sorry, forgot his name), clearly care so much about the reef and local wildlife, very much respecting it and observing rather than chasing it down. Once on the reef they showed us local plants, and got all our goggles ready for snorkeling. As my kids hadn't snorkelled before they were botha bit scared, but Deanna was super helpful, and got in with them. Once they looked down they were off, and didn't want to come in. Snacks and drinks were provided, as was a history of the Captain Cook monument. Would highly highly recommend.... No guarantees you will get dolphins, but incredibly safe and clear snorkeling, best I have seen and clearly run by people who care most about maintaining the reef and wildlife for future generations.

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.

集合場所をGoogleMapで確認すると、H1沿いになってしまうのでホテルのフロントで確かめて慎重に向かいました。まずは車で行き駐車場や場所を確認し、結局は今回宿泊していたシェラトンから歩いてケアウホウ湾に行きました。プライベートビーチぐらいの大きさで反対側にいても問題なくたどり着ける距離でした。
カヤックは主人も私も初めてで、思った通りになかなか進まなかったりしましたが、この日は本当に天気が良く無事に洞窟までたどり着くことができました!
他の人のコメントにあったとおり、脱げないサンダルやトレッキング用シューズがあったほうが良いです。天候によっては陸地にいけないこともありますが、念のため持って行ったほうがよいです。私たちはビーチサンダルしかなかったのですが、ガイドのお兄さんが「水に浮くから落としても拾えるから問題ない」と言ってました。
現地で売ってる防水の使い捨てカメラがあると気兼ねなく写真を撮ることができるのでお勧めです。
あと、主人は足の内側だけ焼けてました。日焼け対策は万全にしておいたほうが良いです。
