Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Sea kayaking and nothing else

Reviewed by: Kelly

We were looking forward to this as the best part of our vacation, but we're very disappointed. We arrived at the dock area, and out guide told us it might be a little cold and windy out but that it would not affect our tour of we still wanted to go out. We decided to go, and kayaked a mile and a half through very choppy waters. Exhausted by the time we reached the sea caves, our guide turns to us and tells us it is too rough to do any other part of the tour and we have to turn back. We ate the snacks they had packed and paddled back. No refund offered and no one let us know before hand that we would not get to do half the tour. The guide was very nice, but there should be some sort of refund policy if only a partial refund....

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Adventurous and Interesting Tour!

Reviewed by: meg

This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Kona! Our guide Nate gave us lots of great information on the history of the island, the places we were visiting, and general Hawaiin activities. We kayaked in the ocean for about 1.5 hours total, so this tour is definitely for active people. We explored some sea caves, did some cliff diving, and snorkeled in a cove, and met the local eel as well.

ハワイ島 パラセイリング <午前・午後/カイルアコナ発> by UFO Parasail

ファンタスティック!!

Reviewed by: shige

飛んできました!
ここまでの高さはめったに体験できないので、思いっきり楽しんできました。
最高地点では正面を向いていると、耳の風切り音で疾走感を味わえました。
いざ顔を横向けると風切り音は全く消えて、まさに『ファンタスティック』って言葉が出ました。浮かんでいるって感覚です。
言い尽くされた表現ですが、まるで鳥になった気分。
最後は水面すれすれどころか、しっかり落とされ海水パンツを穿いていて良かった。
十分楽しめました。

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Great day in Hawaii

Reviewed by: Michael and Emily

Very professional and safety conscious organization. The kayaking was fantastic! They spent time with the beginners to help them feel comfortable and let those with some experience go at their pace also. Ben and Noni were our guides and they were very knowledgeable, took us to a beautiful snorkeling place, dove down a grabbed things off the bottom for us to see and led us to a great sea cave. Do this one day while you are in Hawaii!!!

Hawaiian Canoe Sunset Sailing Cruise (from Keauhou Bay)

Hawaii Sunset Cruise

Reviewed by: Rick C

Our cruise was very enjoyable, short though, didn't take long for the sun to go down. The boats captain was very friendly, knowledgeable, and did his best show us the sights in the area, but once the sun is gone, not much more to see after that. All-in-all we enjoyed our outing very much. Any day on the water is a good day.

Kayak Tour

Reviewed by: Belle

The location was beautiful at Captain Cook. I enjoyed the kayaking. However, I was not too impressed with the tour guide. My daughter and I were the only people on the tour. The female tour guide lacked in friendliness and almost seemed irritated at the beginning and the end of the tour. She also complained a lot about men and her personal life.

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>

サーフィン最高!!

Reviewed by: ハワイはいい!

念願だった初めてのサーフィンに参加しました。
当日は天気もよすぎたせいか、波が穏やかでした。
参加者は我々2人だけで、インストラクターは2名だったので、「個人レッスン」のように
教えて頂きました。
実際にビーチに行く前の説明では、「確実に波に乗れるように、教えるよ!」と言われ、ホントに乗れるかなと思いいつつ、約15分の室内での説明が終わり、いざ、ビーチへ!
インストラクターの教え方がよかったのか、1本目ではほんの数メートルでしたが、ホントに乗れました!!2本目では数十メートル!!
インストラクターからは、「完璧だね!さ~いい波を待とう!」と言われ、気分はサーファーです!!
ただ、天気が本当によすぎて、波を待つ間はすごく暑かったです。もちろん焼けました。
インストラクターのJACOBさんとJEFFさんのおかげで、ホントに楽しかったです。
次もこの2人を指名したいくらいです。

最高!

Reviewed by: けんさく

 家族4人で体験しました。5歳の子がいるので、怖がったり船酔いが心配で直前まで悩みましたが、心配する必要はまったくありませんでした。上空では大はしゃぎしとても喜んでいました。当日の気象状況にもよりますが、停船することはあまりないので船が弱い人でも大丈夫だと思います。
 日本語は通じませんが、丁寧に説明してくれるので英語が弱い人でもどうにかなります。事前に催行会社からメールで送られる誓約書は英文ですが、良く理解し署名した方がいいと思います。
 体験してよかった最高です。

三度めの正直

Reviewed by: ラニカイ

今回ハワイ島のワイコロアに滞在しておりましたがパラセイリングをしたかったのでコナまでドライブしてチェックインしました。初日はなかなかボートが戻らず2回も時間変更→船の故障で飛べませんでした。次の日は天候不順のため飛ばす、
三度めの正直でやっとボートに乗り込みました。同じ時期に来ていた他の外国人も今度はとびたいねって行ってました。思ったよりも高度が高くコナの街を一望しとても爽快でした。45ドル払いYouTubeに動画をアップしてもらいました。クルーの運転はとても上手で待っている間も激しい運転で楽しませてくれました。ハワイカイのパラセイリングよりもいいと思います!

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

disapointing..

Reviewed by: Julia and Pat

To start, the water was pretty rough, they should have considered canceling. Of the 7 people in our group, 2 got sick. We were unable to go ashore at all because the ocean was so rough, and with my parents in the group there was no way they could get back in the kayak from the water if they were to have gotten out to snorkel. All we did was paddle out to the sea caves, which we couldn't enter due to rough water, and paddle back. It was a short, disappointing trip. They did offer for us to take rental kayaks out later in the week, however that didn't fit into our schedule.

Reply from activity provider

Thank you for your feed back, it is very important to us. We are sorry to hear the weather was a bit rough, and a few folks got sick. Unfortunately we have no control over the ocean conditions. I hope that if you make it back to Kona again that you will take us up on the offer to come try a paddle board or get a kayak rental for the day. Thanks again for the feed back.

This tour started out great. Once we were into the waters, we were told we won't be able to snorkel or go into the caves due to the water being to choppy.. So I guess it depends when you do this tour, out of the whole tour we accomplished maybe 2 hours before heading back. I probably will not do this tour again..

Hawaii Lifeguard Surf Instructors - Kona Private & Semi-Private Surfing Lessons

awesome place to learn to surf!

Reviewed by: hkr

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We had a brief lesson in the classroom where the lady that checked us in gave us a brief history of their operations and then explained the does and don'ts of surfing. We practiced the three steps to stand up a few times in the classroom then sent us to the beach that's an easy 4mi straight down alii dr. Just as we left, the other couple that was supposed to be in our group arrived (a half hour late). The instructor was very friendly to them even though the girl was acting like being late was somehow the instructors fault. We went to the beach where we met the water instructors and waited for the other couple to finish the classroom session. The instructors were super friendly and answered any questions we could think to ask them. When the other couple arrived, the fun began. There was only one couple per instructor, and they had us standing within minutes! They also made sure we got a full 2 hours of water time (and maybe a smidge extra) despite the other couple's delay. Great experience, highly recomend!
