Speedi Shuttle Kona Airport Transportation Service

good customer service

Reviewed by: Kona resident, 2015/05/23

The Kona Airport Speedi Shuttle came right to my door, right on time, with courteous help with my luggage. The price was good and I'd recommend them. One other company would only pick me up if I went out and stood on the street, hauling my luggage out there. At a condo complex that was right by a hotel pick up point that was not acceptable to me. I'll use Kona Airport Speedi Shuttle every time I come in and out of town now! Thank you.

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

Not so Great...

Reviewed by: shah, 2015/05/19

The crew was good and friendly. Despite informing them about our dietery restrictions a week before the cruise, they forgot to prepare any vegetarian food. The crew quickly threw together salad for us on board, but it was a lot of money for salad. The crews were friendly otherwise. good music...

6名限定!ハワイ島 野生のイルカウォッチング+ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー<午前/英語ガイド/軽食付>

たくさんのイルカと泳げました!

Reviewed by: stokuhis, 2015/05/19

5歳の娘と一緒に3人で参加しました。船は貸切状態でした。子供も小さかったのですがガイドさんが付きっ切りで面倒を見てくださりとても助かりました。イルカもすぐ近くで泳いだりイルカに囲まれたりととても貴重な体験ができました。何度も何度もたくさんのイルカと泳げて最高の体験でした。途中疲れて寝てしまった娘を見てくれたりとホスピタリティーも満点。親もドルフィンスイムとシュノーケリングを思う存分楽しめました。おすすめです!注意事項は、下船時に船長さんへのチップが必要なこと。支払料金の10%のようです。現金をあまり持ちわせていなかったのであまり払えませんでした。。。ご注意ください。できれば予約の段階でそのような記載があると助かります。体験は最高でした!

Atlantis Kona Submarine Tour & Undersea Adventure - Descend up to 100 feet

Awesome! Our favorite adventure from this vacation.

Reviewed by: Maren, 2015/05/17

This submarine cruise was amazing!! The crew was so friendly and our guide was funny. It was obvious everyone loved their job. Our guide was obviously an experienced diver because he knew so much about all the various fish we saw and had lots of great stories involving the different fish/coral.

The visibility was amazing the day we went. I think I took almost 200 pictures. We were so surprised when we saw 2 shipwrecks on the cruise. Such a fun bonus!

My husband is very outdoorsy and was a little whiny about doing the submarine over an actual snorkel day cruise. He loved the submarine and thought it was so much fun. We will definitely do it again when we're back.

ゆったりとしたショーでした

Reviewed by: catslove, 2015/05/10

17時に着席し、実際にショーが始まるのは19時ごろからでした。それまでは、ドリンクやフラ体験、ハワイの伝統料理などを楽しみました。ショーでは、フラだけでなく、サモアなど、他の島のダンスもありました。ダンスの合間に司会者のトークや歌があり、もう少し英語が分かればもっと楽しかったかなと思います。時間もゆったりと流れますし、席によってはそれほどステージに近くないため、小さなお子様は飽きてしまうかもしれません。

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

just book it!

Reviewed by: patrick, 2015/05/08

As a solo traveller from the UK it was a bit of a lucky dip as there are other providers of similar tours to this one.....worth every penny!our tour guide was Blake,he was very knowledgeable and friendly the sunset was truly amazing and the star gazing was fun and I learned alot about some of the stars..the telescopes was very good pieces of kit and we even saw the moon rising from the cloud horizon which was amazing too....we were very lucky with the weather conditions it wasn't windy at all,still a bit chilly on the summit tho..the parka jackets were good quality and clean....I could carry on,but gonna leave it here as amazing well worth it....one small note,the gloves supplied keep your hands warm but don't make it easy to take pictures on small cameras and mobile phones.

Grand Circle Island Tour - Volcano, Black Sand Beach, Waipio Valley & Waterfalls

Wonderful Tour and Tour Guide, Exceeded Expectations!

Reviewed by: Justine Z, 2015/05/03

It was my first vacation to the Big Island of Hawaii and I booked a full day circle tour with Wasabi Tours with my boyfriend, in order to get acquainted with the island's landscape and popular destinations. Our tour guide, Kala, was absolutely phenomenal! Not only did he show us all of the beautiful sights and landscapes that the island has to offer but he was also an encyclopedia of information! You could ask Kala almost anything about the island and he would almost certainly have the answer. Kala was a historian, a geographer, a geologist, a horticulturalist and even a sociologist all in one! He was a great story teller! Kala was also extremely hospitable, professional, warm, and inviting--right from the start to the end of the tour!Somehow he managed to keep enthusiastic for the 10+ hour long day. Kala mentioned he used to work in the high end resorts in the North Shore and you can really tell that he did, as he provides extremely professional service. He really went out of his way to make sure the guests were all getting the most out of the experience. When we learned the lava was really high in the Volcanoes National Park, Kala made a few separate attempts to return to the site, as the grounds were extremely steamy that particular day. He REALLY wanted us to see the lava, but it is so sad to say the weather did not cooperate that particular day despite Kala's greatest efforts. Despite this bad luck, we were fortunate enough to see all the other beautiful sites that Wasabi tours promises to take you! Finally, to top the day off, Kala knew how much I wanted to see some of the Hawaiian Honu (sea turtles), and he found me some of those as well! Overall, Wasabi Tours does a really great job preparing a fun and informative day for guests. Ultimately, a big thank you to Kala for keeping us entertained and showing us around the tropical paradise of Hawaii!

Mahalo!

Justine & Sam.

Morning Whale Watch & Snorkel BBQ Cruise (from Kailua-Kona Pier)

Exceptionally fun!

Reviewed by: dsltx, 2015/05/03

This was such a fun expedition with some of the most professional folks ever! Great sense of humor and made us feel very comfortable. This was my first time snorkeling and they went over everything very well. And lucky us - we got to see two whales at the end of the season, no less! I would definitely do this again or one of the other Body Glove activities.

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

三度めの正直

Reviewed by: ラニカイ, 2015/05/02

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!

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー 滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く!<午前・午後/英語ガイド/食事付>by フェアウィンド号

最高でした。

Reviewed by: メルちゃん, 2015/04/26

シュノーケリングがやりたくて、このツアーにに参加しました。 ただ85歳の母を連れてなので、少し心配していましたが、年齢関係なく、楽しむ気があれば誰でも楽しめるように、クルーズのスタッフの方がたが、いろいろな水泳用具を用意してくださり、母も顔に水をつけずに、熱帯魚やサンゴ礁を初めて見ることができ、とても感激しておりました。 私も母を連れて行った甲斐があり、本当に参加して良かったです。 船酔いも心配しましたが、全く大丈夫でした。むしろ、主人は酔い止め薬を飲んで反対に眠くなってしまい、飲ませなければ良かったと後で思いました。 とにかく、楽しい時間があっという間に過ぎた感じで、もう少し楽しんでいたいぐらいでした。

  • こんな感じで、母も海の中を見れて楽しみました。

ハワイ島 オーシャンラフティング&シュノーケルリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事付き>

最高♪

Reviewed by: YUMIKO, 2015/04/24



当日、ケアラケクア湾方面は曇り空でしたが 水温は想像より冷たくなく、透明度の良い海でラッキーな事に、大きな亀とも一緒に泳げて満足でした♪ 

途中、イルカも3度見れてテンション↑スピンジャンプしたり可愛いかったです。

スタッフは英語ですが、愛想も良く優しかったです。日本語の説明書ももらえます。

とにかくオーシャンラフティング最高♪

40~50代の私達ですが、大盛り上がりでした♪

酔い止め薬は必須かも。

シュノーケル後、口コミどうり体が冷え切り、寒くて2回目のシュノーケルは断念。帰りは風が冷たく感じるので、女子は厚手のパーカーかウインドブレーカーを1枚と言わず重ね着をお薦めします。

ラフティング中、日差しが強く目にも風が強く当たるのでサングラスをかけてて正解でした。

帰りは特に波が高くなり、かなりボートが跳ねます。それはそれで楽しかったので最高でしたが、腰の悪い方は確かに キツイかも・・・(日本語の説明書にも記載してありましたが)

マリオットホテルからレンタカーで行きましたが、解りやすく30分も掛かりません。

また利用したいお薦めのツアーです。

次回、また利用します。

ハワイ島 オーシャンラフティング&シュノーケルリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事付き>

初めてでも楽しいシュノーケリング

Reviewed by: MISO, 2015/04/21

60歳、夫婦で参加しました。シュノーケリングは初めてだし年齢的にも心配しましたが、参加経験者のコメントに後押しされ申込しました。日本人は我々2人だけでしたが、スタッフも他の参加者の方々も親切にしてくれたので、英語はわからなくても何とかなりました。

歴史や場所について、シュノーケルやメガネの使い方は、日本語の説明書を事前にくれましたが、読む間もなく出発。シュノーケリングは、インストラクターのワンポイントレッスンだけでも十分でした。アラケクア湾はハワイ島で一番のシュノーケリングポイントらしいですが、魚も珊瑚も種類が多く、いつまで見ていても飽きません。ムラサキウニやバフンウニが大きいことにびっくり。イルカもバッチリ見ることができました。軍用ゴムボートでのラフティングもスリルがあり、大満足。楽しい思い出ができました。

しかし、日焼けには本当に注意が必要です。ゴムボートに乗ってからは、ロープから手を離せなくなるので、乗船前に日焼け止めを全身に塗ることが必須です。私は、足の裏側に塗り忘れ失敗しました。シュノーケリング中に、無防備だったふくらはぎがひどく日焼けしてしまいました。私の日焼け止めは日本から持参したクリームタイプですが、外国の参加者は皆さんスプレー式の日焼け止めを使っていました。SPF100という超強力スプレーもあるので、日焼け止めは現地で買うのがお薦めです。説明書を読み、日焼け止めを完璧に塗る時間を考え、早めにチェックインするのが良いですね。また、ハワイ島に来たら参加したいと思います。

Hawaii Forest and Trail stands for competence, professionalism, passion and respect for the environment they allow to see and for travelers. They really think and manage everything with great knowledge and kindness. I felt cared for in every way, even the chocolate cake! The lesson on the stars was fantastic and we all got to use the telescope. Every wish was realized. The only thing we had to do was to be overwhelmed by the mystical magic Mauna Kea!

We had the best time on the Body Blove Whale Watch and Snorkel Cruise. The staff was very enthusiastic and quick to point out and get us closer to the dolphins and whales that were spotted. It was a real surprise and treat to see a whale breach in early April. The snorkeling spot was beautiful, and my kids loved the high jump and water slide.

Morning Whale Watch & Snorkel BBQ Cruise (from Kailua-Kona Pier)

not a single attempt to see a whale was made

Reviewed by: DutchCleo, 2015/04/10

I was sold this tour as a whale watch & snorkel event, but on the day it was not that (it was a boat ride, piss-up and snorkel). No attempt was ever made to see any whales and it was not billed as such to others on the boat. The barman was very good at selling us all sorts (GoPro hire, sell snorkels, drinks, underwater cameras etc), and lots of people were drinking copious amounts of cocktails and having a fab time. The atmosphere on the boat was great. The boat and equipment was very good (much better than on another snorkel excursion I did earlier that week), staff, facilities & food were good, and the weather was fabulous. I really wanted to see the whales as it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (I live in the UK), and other trips that week had been for whale watching through Body Glove cruises, but not this one. It must have been an unfortunate mix-up through this website
