私は海が大好きで、いろいろなところでシュノーケリングをすることで亀やイルカと泳いだ経験はありました。耳が悪いので、ダイビングをすることができません。でも、マンタはなかなか水面までは来てくれません。なので、マンタをまじかで見ることは諦めていましたが、このツアーだと、次から次へと遊びに来てくれます♡
ライトの近くを囲んでシュノーケリルをつけて観察する感じで、一緒に泳ぐというよりは、マンタがライトに集まって来たプランクトンを食べに来てくれるという感じでした。それでも、マンタが自分でぶつかってくるほど近くに来てくれたので、こちらが避けないとならないほどでした。
マンタのお腹の中までよく見えます。
多分6-7枚のマンタがエンドレスで順繰り廻って来てくれる感じでした。運が良かったのかもしれないですが本当に楽しめました!
Go proは絶対持って行くべきです。
あと、船の上では私は全く寒くなかったです。
ただ、日本人は寒がりな人が多いので、タオルを呼びで1枚持って行く、もしくはトレーナーなどを持って行ってもいいのかもしれません。

最年長は80代で、総勢6人で申し込みました。
あいにくの曇りでしたが、とても楽しかったです。
4WDでの往復はスリル満点でしたが、さすがガイドさんは運転に慣れていらっしゃるようで、安心して座っていられました。(でも怖かったけど)
行き帰りの車中歩いている人をたくさんお見かけましたが、お顔は後悔しているような方が多かったです。(笑)
日本から虫よけスプレーと虫よけリングを持っていきましたが、それでも蚊に刺されましたので、やはり腕が隠れる上着と足首まで隠れるパンツは必須です。
危ないことや歩くことはほとんどないので、高齢の方でも楽しめると思います。
ハワイ島に行くのならワイピオ渓谷は外してはならないですよ!

I've been to various luaus, and this was the best. Really. My three-generation family ranges in age from 3 y/o to 70, and everyone had a great time. The 7 y/o was truly amazed by everything, which was delightful. The event was well organized, informative, and vastly entertaining. The food and beverages we're very good, high quality, and plentiful. No dishes ran out, and the selection was excellent. The arrival of the King and his court was fun. We enjoyed the extra touches, like the Hawaiians tattoos, and hula lesson. The dancers were excellent and engaging; we especially enjoyed those involving fire! I would definitely recommend this luau. I don't think there were any bad seats, and the view was glorious.

We had a ball riding jet skis (first time for 2 of us). We rented them for an hour and frankly, that's the right amount of time. You spend the first 20-30 minutes getting to know the process of using a jet ski, and the you have the rest of the time to test your capabilities and tolerances. I will tell you that this is a more physically strenuous activity than I expected and all four of us were sore and walking funny for 48 hours! LOL! It was overall a very good experience. The arena is spacious enough to have all kinds of fun.

Overall, this was as a good luau experience. The show was excellent and the food was also excellent and plenty of variety. The setting is beautiful. The open bar was very good. There was not a lot of room, however, considering they were serving over 500 people (I overheard an organizer tell a waiter it was "515 people tonight"). The seating was a bit cramped. The ancillary activities (lei making for example) was fairly limited and not too well publicized. Those were the things that made our luau in Oahu truly special and yet we weren't able to take advantage of them since the supplies were limited.

Had a fantastic time. Kayak was good fun and not overly strenuous. Had a couple of stops along the way to catch our breath before we arrived at the monument. Snorkel was amazing with a huge variety of fish on display at close quarters. A pod of spinner dolphins arrived as we were leaving. Spent an hour snorkeling which gave us plenty of time to look around.
Then a paddle back again afterwards.
Our guide Patrick was very knowledgeable and safety conscious. He looked after us extremely well.
Very good value for the money.

We had a wonderful experience riding along in this incredible sacred valley. Bob and the mules were a delightful experience. The waterfall was breathtaking and Bob's knowledge of the valley was captivating. So grateful to have chosen this adventure to share with my 7yr old grandson who was equally enthralled to have the experience.

一番見たかった渓谷に差し掛かった時に、ガイドの声を落として静かに景色に浸らせてくれる心配りに、景色と共に感動でした。操縦席を後ろから見ていてパイロットて素敵だなぁと思いましたw溶岩のドロドロさも目視出来てとても貴重な体験でした。ヘリコプターを怖がっていた母も安心して乗っていられたようで良かったです。何よりbig Island へのtoshiさんの愛がとてもよく伝わりました。又東京で頑張って働いてbig islandに帰りたいです!この度はありがとうございました。

よく調教されてるので騎乗してるだけでいい。
2時間半だと短すぎず長すぎず丁度良い。
手綱は日本と違い片手持ち。
(向きを変えるときは両手スタイルのがスムーズ)
写メは各自自由にできます。
(落としたらまずいのでヒモ付きだと安心かも)
ジャンパー、ブーツは無料レンタルできますが天候が良ければ必要ないかも

女性3名でデラックス150メートルに挑戦いたしました! 私達より先にやられた外人のご姉弟の様子を参考に出来たので、不安はありませんでした。
風も穏やかで最高のロケーションを見ることが出来ました。素晴らしい思い出になりました。
一言付け加えておきますが、ホテルでの受け付けの女性の方は全く日本語が通じないので、大変苦労しました。受け付けに時間が掛かってしまいました。これが少し残念でした。でもパラセーリングが始まってしまえば、ノリノリで楽しめました!

I was so scared being a non swimmer but I’m so glad I didn’t chicken out and did it!!! What an incredible experience. Professional crew that kept us safe and relaxed the entire time. I would recommend Wahine Charters to anyone and will recommend to all my friends!

Chris was wonderful! He knows Hawaii very well and we learned so much within a day! Loved ziplining, Gabe and Kelton were so patient and humorous that we didn’t feel it took almost 3 hours to finish the whole activity. It’s the best Hawaii tour ever!!

Wow! We had the pleasure of taking the historic Kona tour with Drew. It was an amazing day! Drew has an energy and enthusiasm about the island that is infectious! He took us to beautiful spots that were advertised and even a few of his favorites that were off the beaten path a bit. The thing that stood out was the intricate knowledge of the historical significance of all the places that we went that Drew was able to share with us. I’ve been to a few of these spots before but never understood them as I do now and that’s all from our great guide. Drew, I hope you know that you shared with us a memory that we will all hold dear for life!

the views from the top of Mauna Kea are breathtaking, despite the cold. Jeff, our host was the best tour guide, funny, friendly and veru knowledgeable of the the tour and the history of the sites. All along the tour he would explain the site you are crossing and the topography.
The star gazing experience is somehting cool for someone neer seen into space before.
Brownies and hot chocolate at the end of the tour is the epitpomy of a great evening.

当日は曇り空…早めに到着しホテルの駐車場にレンタカーを止めて受付。 ホテルの外のカウンターとホテル内の少し奥にある店舗があり、少し戸惑いました。 時間になると日本人数名を含む20名ほどの参加者と共に連絡用の船に乗り込み数分で潜水艦へ。
早速乗り込み潜水開始…サンゴやそこを泳ぐ魚を見ながら40分程楽しみました。100フィート、30メートル程まで潜りましたが、曇り空のせいか若干暗く感じたのと思っていたより魚と距離感を感じました。 晴れていればもっと綺麗だったのかもしれません。
カウンターで駐車券にステッカーを貼ってくれて料金をカバーしてくれます。2ドル足りずにカード支払いしようとしたらカードを認識せず…後ろに数台並び焦りましたが、電話して開けてもらい事なきを得ました。

少し早めに着いたのと 噴火のせいか お客さんが少なめだったせいかもしれませんが スタンダードシートの一番良い席に案内してもらい ショーをバッチリ見ることができました。
マイタイやハワイのカクテルも美味しかった。
いつ食べ物をとっていいのか分からず キッズのものを フライングして取ってしまいました。後で順番に案内されるので待っているといいです

Air accommodations were taken care of for us. Flights were good but there was confusion as to when the flights left. Very emotional day. Lots to see. There were 14 in our group. It was difficult to understand when and where we were meeting at different times throughout the day. It wasn't just us, many were confused. Hard to understand the guide. He was very nice. We were not able to see the Arizona Memorial up close because of the safety issue. No one's fault, we understood. We are glad we did take this trip.

リコンファームの電話がつながらず、オフィスまで行こうをググって探しましたがオフィスは無く、ロコの方にもうそこにあったオフィスは無いですよと教えてもらいました。すぐにVELTLAさんにメールをして対処していただきましたが、当日も待ち合わせ時間が30分違ってました。
しかしながらツアーはとても素晴らしかったです。カヤックを漕ぐなどという事はハワイでしかありえないと思います。とても充実した時間を過ごしました。美しい景色、美しい海を満喫しました。ありがとうございました。

大変面白かったです。ただ、勝手にワイピオの急斜面を馬車でいくイメージがありました。よく考えたらありえないですね。4駆動のバンですが、これはこれで結構なのですが、窓のガラスがスモーク(遮光)+汚れでよく見えない。貴重なヒイラベの滝がこのガラス越しとなり、残念至極。渓谷の下におりて、バンから馬車に乗り換えてからは、評判通りゆっくりと渓谷の自然と神秘的な雰囲気を堪能できました。同乗したアメリカ人の方々のウエイトが気になり(我々二人を含め8名)、二頭立ての馬たちが、途中で立ち止まってしまうと、御者のおじいさんが棒を取り出して、尻をつつき出したのには、家内ともども馬たちに同情しきりです。帰りのバンは下りより迫力あり。ただ景色は曇った窓越し。全体的に貴重な体験でした。できれば窓のスモークやめて綺麗に拭いておいてもらえると最高です。

This was an unforgettable once-in-a-a-lifetime experience! Definitely recommend swimming with the manta rays. It will be one of the most majestic experiences of wildlife you will ever have. A note we were unaware of: it seems essentially all ventures to swim with the mantas leave from a similar dock area and set anchor at essentially the same spot in the water--which is just a few hundred yards out from the dock.

The highlight of our week on the Big Island. Having a small group meant we had a great chance to see the mantas, as well as a fun dinner and sightseeing along the coast. You won't really understand just how amazing this experience is until you go, so just go.

午前の部に参加しました。
コナから1時間半程かかって集合場所に到着。渓谷にある馬屋まで車で移動し馬を選んでもらいます。
説明は100%英語なので手綱操作や注意事項は何となく察する感じで(笑)
馬はよく調教されてますしインストラクターの方が隊列の前後にいるので特に不安は感じませんが、馬によっては止まって草を食べたり水を飲んだり好き勝手に行動するので主導権を握る事が大事だと思います。
ちなみに個人的に持って行って役立ったのがウインドブレーカーでした。
時期(4月末)によるのかもしれませんが、乗馬の最中に10分程普通に傘がいるレベルの通り雨に降られました。邪魔になるかな?と思いつつ腰に巻いていきましたが馬上でさっと羽織って雨をしのぐことができて大正解でした!
最初から雨の時はカッパをかしてくれる?かもしれませんが、途中で降った場合は各自で対応になります!
後は虫よけスプレーをみんな使っていました。
インストラクターの方はみんな親切で途中で植物の説明をしてくれたり、写真を撮ってくれていい思い出になりましたし、雄大な自然の中を馬で散歩できる機会なんてそうそうないし参加して良かったです。
またハワイ島に来たらやってみたいです。
最後に、乗馬の後はホノカア近くのテックスドライブインでマラサダを食べましたがこちらもオススメです。
