We liked it very much. The narratot, the history, the various outfits, the sincerity of all who performed. And yes, the food was good.

乗馬初体験でしたが安心して楽しめました。
馬たちもしっかり調教されていて綺麗な馬たちです。
今回は半日コースでしたが次回は1日コースで楽しみたいです。

楽しいひと時を過ごしました。ご飯もボリューム満点!
ただ、フラを習っているので、最高のフラダンサー達をイメージして参加してしまったので、少し物足らない感じがしてしまいました。

朝方に大雨が降り、雨の中での乗馬かなと思いましたが、運良く天気が回復。車で谷まで降りていきますが急坂で細い道。ちょっとビビりながらも到着。途中見たかった滝も見えました。馬に乗りツアー開始。飼っているかわいい犬2匹もいっしょについて来ました。途中川を渡ったりとても気分爽快です。でも馬は途中でおしっこ、うんこ、草を食べるなどいろいろあります。最後にガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれます。

This helicopter tour was certainly one of the highlights of our trip. Checking in was a breeze. The pilot (Karl I think) was great, really friendly and knowledgable and told us fascinating stories about the land. His mixed tape for the flight was a great accompaniment to the flight. Nothing can quite prepare you for how amazing it is to fly over a volcanoe crater spewing lava, I was truly awe struck and felt like a kid again! It really is the top experience I would recommend on the big island.

太平洋の島々のそれぞれの踊りを見せてくれて、似たところ違うところを知ることが出来ました。参加者の誕生日を祝ったり、一緒に掛け声をかけたりなど参加者が楽しむための工夫もされています。
食事は結構な種類があり、少しずつ取ってもかなり大量になります。前の体験談にもあるように席によって食事をとりにいく順番が決まっていますので、スタート時刻から食べ放題と言う訳ではありません。待っている間におなかへってツラかったかな(笑)。
滞在中に伝統的なショーを見る機会がない(または伝統料理を食べたことがない)なら、いいとおもいます。

Very convenient, no hassle. There was a representative waiting for us with a sign with our name on it. Our flight arrived an hour early and they were still there waiting (impressive). The representative then escorted us to the shuttle where the driver was waiting to take us to our hotel. The ride was nice and we were the only two people on this nice shuttle bus. I would definitely use this shuttle service again!

2.5時間コースに家族4人で申し込みました。
8時半集合で時間通りに集合場所に行きましたが、9時半集合の1.5時間コースのグループが9時前に到着したために、結局その人達と一緒にスタートすることになり、準備が出来てから1時間近く待たされることに…
その間なんの説明もありませんでした。
馬の扱い方を教えてもらって出発。皆で高原をどんどん登って行きます。
天気も良く、見晴らしも良好。途中何度か速歩をしながら1時間ほどがすぎました。
他の人の投稿にもあるように、自分たちも1.5時間コースになるのかなぁと思っていましたが、途中で「They go Long Course」と言われ自分たちは別のルートへ。他のグループは下山し帰っていきました。
更に高原を登って行き、途中で初めての駈歩を体験。少しの時間でしたが、すごい速さと振動に馬から落ちないよう必死にしがみつきましたが貴重な体験となりました。
その後絶景ポイントに到着。マウイ島が見晴らせる場所で山と海をバックに写真撮影をし下山となりました。
正味の乗馬時間は2時間15分程。
1.5時間コースは「標準コース」2.5時間コースは「ロングコース」とした方が誤解がないのではと思います。
乗馬自体は最高の天気、ロケーションで星5つですが、現地の人の対応がいまいちなので星4つです。

When I arrived, there was a person with a sign with my name on it. I knew right where to go. I was greeted with a shell lei. She walked me to the luggage area and waited for my bag. Then she took me over to the shuttle bus.
The driver was wonderful! He had so much knowledge of the island and shared it with me. As we drove to the hotel he was sure to point out all of the sites, things to do, history of the island and much much more.
I would highly recommend using this shuttle service when you visit Kona!

9時スタートの回を予約して、前日確認メールにも9時スタートとあったので
間に合うように早めに出たのに、当日行ったら12時半からの回に勝手に変更されていました。
9時からの回は一杯と断られ、仕方なく時間を潰すことになりました。
スタッフの方々は感じのよい方ばかりで、謝ってくれましたが
前日までに直接再確認したほうが良さそうです。

Deluxe is the word! As if the natural awesomeness of a live volcano,a national park and stars was not enough this trip also includes a tasty picnic lunch and a 5 star dining experience for dinner. Add to this an extremely knowledgeable guide who serenades you with ukulele, tells amazing Hawaiian myths, provides astronomical binoculars to improve photographs taken on your phones and cameras of a live volcano at night and leads a sing-along on the way home.
This was a long day but easily the best tour our family has ever taken. Booking via Veltra tours was easy, even from overseas.

Let me start saying one thing - Kilauea Volcano is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth and it's definitely a MUST SEE & DO if you are visiting Hawaii. I think everyone should explore the Volcanoes National Park as much as they can, and since I've hiked hiked the most popular sights before, this time I decided to get the bird's eye view from Kilauea.
From start to finish Blue Hawaiian Helicopters was very professional and delivered a great service. After the check-in we watched a video about safety and what to expect on the tour. Due to the weather conditions my original flight was cancelled, however I was able to reschedule to a later time. It was worthy the wait! The aircraft was modern, very comfortable, large windows and the pilot was excelled and very experienced. He not only made us feel safe, but also shared a lot of interest facts about Hawaiian geology and history.
We flew over dozens of waterfalls and over the most recent lava flows and it was crazy to see how close the lava got to some houses couple of years ago. The most incredible part thou was for sure seeing the lava flowing into the ocean and watching the bubbling lava lake inside the Pu'u 'O'o Crater (which you can only see if you are doing an air tour).
I will never stop sharing these incredible memories with everyone around me.
Thank you VELTRA & Blue Hawaiian Helicopters for the amazing experience. I highly recommend this tour, whether you are visiting the island just for a day or more, make sure to include a helicopter flight on your wish list.

以前からテレビで見て気になっていたマウナケア山頂でのサンセット!さらに天体観測もさせてもらえて最高の1日でした!
新婚旅行で夫婦で参加しました。
当初、日本語ガイドのツアーを申し込もうと思っていたところ、既に一杯だったためこちらのツアーに申し込みました。
英語がほぼ出来ないため、多少心配していましたが、ツアーの最中はほぼ100%英語だったにもかかわらず、ツアーガイドさんのお気遣いと、偶然一緒に参加した日本人の家族の方のおかげで、とても楽しむ事ができました!
他の日本語ガイドのツアーの方々もいらっしゃって様子を拝見致しましたが、ツアーの内容や質、お客様への配慮やとても自由な感じでの進行など、このツアーに参加出来てよかったと改めて感じています。
天体観測中のホットチョコレートとブラウニー、あのおいしさはわすれられません。
本当に最高のツアーでした!ありがとうございました!

The trip took too long time for nothing, visiting some stores which mean wasting time & money! also you can't see that much Lava in the morning!!! only the smoke! The guide was too knowledge but talking a lot which cause me headache! Since the tour started till finished he was talking no relaxing! after we finish the park he took us to the mall for 45 min!! It's totally wasting time, I prefer to go by car alone and see a lot of sight rather than this tour!!

渓谷をみんなで隊列組んで、進みます。最初は緊張していましたが、歩き出せば手綱の引き方、お腹の蹴り方、などで愛馬を自由にコントロールできます。時々、勝手に馬が草を食べたり、うんこ、おしっこしたり、面白い!野性の馬も散歩したり!
英語だけだが、なんとかなりますよー!また行きたいな!

Pick up was as scheduled for the drive to the airport. Each trip I have used Speedi shuttle, drivers have been knowledgeable about local places and happenings. I will continue using the shuttle on my future visits.

This trip was the highlight of our trip to the Big Island. We had a great time and enjoyed the experience immensely. I was a little disappointed when they called me that morning and told us the road to the summit was closed and we might not be able to go to the top. Since we were on a limited time schedule we decided to go anyway. Nate was our guide and picked us up in Kona. On the ride to Mauna Kea, he explained about the different kinds of lava flows and some of the myths about Pele. When we got to the sheep station, Nate set up our meal for us and explained about life as a sheep rancher on the island. He promised that if we didn't get to go to the summit, he would make sure we at least saw the sunset from another spot. Supper was very good and it was fun getting to know the other tourists with us. After we ate, we got the good news that the road had opened and we were able to go to the top. What a gorgeous sight!! We saw the sun set on one side and turned around and saw the full moon coming up on the other. After watching the sunset, we went back down to visitor center and did some stargazing. Nate was very knowledgeable about the constellations. We were able to see the rings around Saturn and other constellations that night. The hot chocolate and warm brownies tasted good after being up on the summit where it was pretty chilly! I would definitely recommend this adventure for anyone visiting the Big Island, If we are fortunate enough to return, we will be doing this again!! Thank you Nate for a great evening.

What a unique experience! We were met at a small shop and driven part of the way down in the valley by Bob in a four wheel drive van. The road in and out of the valley is very steep and rough at times, but the view was beautiful. The wagon ride was fun and Bob was very informative telling us about the plant life and history of the valley. We saw a beautiful waterfall that can not be seen unless you go down in the valley.

We enjoyed the Island Breeze Luau. We were seated with a great group of people and enjoyed talking with them.. The show was very well done. The fire dancer at the end was especially good. The food was very good and had a lot of choices on the buffet.

It was a great snorkeling experience. They did a great job all around. Seeing Dolphins is a guarantee. They hang out just off the coast on the way to and from the snorkeling location. The food they served was great and included (breakfast/lunch). They provide some drinks for free with the food. Any smoothies or alcoholic drinks you must pay for and there is a bar on the boat for that. They provide rash gaurds, towels, fins, snorkels, various floatation devices (noodles, boards, etc...). I did start feeling a little sea sick and missed out the last 15 min of water time before we headed back. So I would recommend taking some Dramamine if you get motion sickness.
