とても楽しかったんですが、集合場所に早くに集まったのに、英語での説明はあったらしいが、英語が苦手。その為船に乗るのが遅くなり、二階の日の当たる席しか空いてなく、どうにか日差し遮る場所に座れました。
言葉が通じないってこんな感じなんだなって疎外感
周りの人の様子見ながら食事したり…
英語が全く苦手の人は周りの人の様子観察してください。
海は綺麗だしスタッフも優しいのですが、ちょっとガッカリでした。

ビュッフェでしたが、あまり種類がありません。お席は先着順らしいのですが、時間ギリギリに行ったので最後列。しかも、真ん前正面は、席を取り置きしながら、誰も座っておらず空席。ショーの時間に着席していない席は開放して欲しかったです。すごく遠くから、立ち上がって見ていましたので正直、この価格でこれはないな。と思いました。

We had an amazing time on our tour! We saw wild goats (kau) climbing along the coastline, Cassie taught us some history about Queen Ka’ahumanu, and we saw several mantas up close (hit my snorkel gear close), including Amanda and Big Bertha. We booked the small group tour and it turned out we were the only two - what luck! Would love to do it again!
Mahalo for taking the time to submit a review of your Kona Ocean Experience Sunset/Manta tour! We're so pleased to hear that you had an amazing tour, that you got to learn about some of our Hawaiian culture and history , as well as seeing mantas including 16 ft. Big Bertha! Hope you have a chance to come join us again sometime! Aloha

山の上から降りました。途中でガイドさんより説明を受けました。全て英語だったので完全には聞き取れませんでしたが、見るだけでも凄さはわかりました。ガイドさん、ドライバーさんも1人参加の私を気にしてくださり、ツアーのメンバーにも恵まれました。
雨の中で自転車に乗って坂を下りましたが、とても面白い体験が出来ました。靴がびちょびちょになるので何か対策をすると良いかもしれません。レインコートは貸してもらえました。

The captain and his companion were very nice answering all our questions. It was a windy day, so our family were the only ones on the boat, we saw some fishes and lots of corals, and learned some new things about different fish in Hawaii. The turtles were kond of hiding thought, but the captain made every effort on finding at least one for us, so we got to see it on the surface taking a few breaths.
Thank you,
Cristina C

What a GREAT day!! 14 passenger van was very clean and our driver was very knowledgeable and professional. We had teenagers with us who stayed totally engaged. We enjoyed lunch at a wonderful little mom and pop restaurant along the way - Sharky’s. Our private party of 8 visited waterfalls, overlooks, a black beach, learned history of the island and spent time at Volcano National Park. Thank you for a wonderful day!!!

大きな船なので、船揺れが気になりませんでした。
海のコンディションにもよるのでしょうが、去年別のツアーに参加した際は船酔いでダウンしていた母が、今回はランチのハンバーガーを完食していました。
シュノーケルポイントではウミガメと遭遇。帰路はイルカが船を追いかけてきました。
同乗者料金の設定があるもお勧めポイント。
シュノーケルは無理でも、クルージングは同行したい家族連れに嬉しいですね。
Aloha! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your experience aboard our vessel. If you ever find yourself on the Big Island of Hawaii again, we would love to have you back out. We pride ourselves on getting those who might be fearful of snorkeling to enjoy the experience! Hope we can get your entire group to enjoy the ocean that way next time.

7月なので暑かったです。コートや、ブーツの貸し出しもありましたが、要らないくらいです。途中でパラパラと雨が降る事があっても平気でした。日焼け止めクリームは塗っておいた方がいいですね。(塗らずに行ったら真っ赤になってしまいました)
馬の個性があり自分の乗った馬は言うことを聞いてくれませんでしたがそれはまた愛嬌でしょう。

豚を掘り起こすところなど、面白い部分もありましたが、値段が高過ぎな印象です。
ファイアーダンスは、福島のハワイアンズの方がすごいです。
ご飯は、美味しくはありません。
また、途中で雨が降り、びしょ濡れでした。
ホテル駐車場は三時間までしか無料ではありません。
もし5000円とかなら、それなりにオススメできる内容でした。

地球の創造者しか知り得ない過去から2019.06.27の今日に至るまでの火山が織り成す壮大な歴史が見えた。キラウエアから生まれた新旧の溶岩流が作り出す重なり合った川、人の営み、道路、畑、すべてを呑み込んで流れた様子、なんという偉力。そして海に流れ込んだ溶岩流がこの島を広げていった様子が一望できる。自然の力の凄さが見える。そしてとったんに出来た黒砂海岸は神さまから人へのジョーク交じりのプレゼントか。次に小原山、時間は溶岩を緑豊かな木々を育む土へと変え、また浸食によって絶景を織り成す渓谷や400mから落ちる滝、これら身震いをしてしまう景色をヘリのゲストは味わった。最後に望月パイロットが語れたこの島の人達の火山との共存意識とその積極性は平凡な日常しか無い私の耳から生涯離れそうもない。それどころかこの人生初のヘリコプター遊覧は地球の営みを鳥の目線で目の当たりに出来た。少し大袈裟かもしれないが人生観を変えた。

船の揺れが激しく、パートナー撃沈。食事も日本人に全く合いません。強靭な体力を持った欧米人向けのツアーですね。また、ヒルトンワイコロアからは、タクシーで往復210ドルかかります。全ての責任は、オアフ島のディナークルーズと勘違いして申し込んだ当方にありますが、出来れば、それなりに揺れること、また、各リゾートからの港までの時間と交通手段を書いておいてあげると親切かと思います。
Aloha,
We are so disappointed to see that you didn't enjoy your experience. We appreciate your business, and want all of our guests to have their best day in Hawaii with us.
We would like to include in this reply that many Japanese guests join us all year long and have wonderful experiences. We would also like to mention that in addition to our elaborate buffet dinner spread, we can accommodate vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free passengers with 48 hours notice upon request. Since, on a dinner cruise, all that any person really has to do physically is sit, we feel strongly this activity is advisable for people of all shapes, sizes, and strength levels. Children of all ages join us.
We wish you would have brought your experience to our attention. We would have loved an opportunity to make it right! We hope you enjoyed the rest of your vacation, and hope you come back to Hawaii some day soon!

潜水艦そのものは良かったです!
快適に海底を見ることが出来ました!
しかしながら、宿泊場所から送ってくださった方から集合場所について説明があまりなく…
(お迎え時間は何度もお伝えいただいたんですが)
こちらのページやバウチャーにも記載がなかったため、聞きまわったり電話したりしてなんとか乗船できた感じでした…
集合場所についての説明を充実させていただければありがたいです!ぜひご検討ください。

My wife and I did not have a car for the week but wanted to see the Island for what it had to offer. This tour came to our Hotel and picked us up as well as brought us back and gave a view of the Island most people would not be able to see. Our driver Nathan was excellent and gave us a relaxed and informed trip and even gave us some extra insights that a book would not give. The views were amazing and gave you an option if you wanted to come back and stay for more indepth viewing. I would recommend going with a tour to really get the flavor of the Island.

Chad and a guys name I can’t remember (lol, sorry guy but he was nice) met us at the general store and took us to the Blacksand beach. At first, my wife was very claustrophobic and was having trouble snorkeling but Chad worked with her and was very patient and before long she was swimming like a guppy! We had a wonderful time and saw a bunch of turtles! I recommend this tour. It was better than what the cruise ship offered for less money. We would definitely go again.
Aloha Travis, Thank you for your 5 star review. I am thrilled you and your wife had a wonderful time. Richardson's is a beautiful beach park and and a favorite spot for the honu to gather and sunbathe. We invite you to join us again on one of our many exciting tours in Hilo!

This was an amazing excursion for our family! We have visited Hawaii several times, but this was our first horseback riding experience. It definitely did NOT disappoint! The guides were patient and helpful throughout the trip. They gave a detailed safety briefing and Jaime took time with my younger daughter to practice a few commands so she would feel more comfortable. The views during our ride were beautiful and breathtaking at times! We had a great time at the waterfall as well. There was plenty of time to swim, play in the waterfall, kayak and use the paddle boards. They also had life jackets if needed. I could go on forever about how much we loved this trip! I highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for a fun way to see the beauty of this island.

This was a great experience for the entire family. Our two girls did not have any riding experience and were really nervous. The guides gave a very detailed safety briefing and made sure the girls were comfortable before the trip started. The guides were always close by to help them guide the horses when needed. The scenery on the entire trip was the most beautiful I have seen since being on the island. The stop at the waterfall was incredible. We had plenty of time to enjoy the paddle boards, kayaks and swim under the waterfall. This experience was the highlight of our trip and I highly recommend to those considering it. I recommend wearing pants if you have them.

午前の部の2時間半のコースに参加。参加者は私たちと外国人親子の計4名でした。ガイドは英語のみですがゆっくりと分かり易く話してくれるので特に不自由はありません。馬はよく調教されており、駈歩までしてくれます。天気も良く最高の景色の中で大いに乗馬を楽しみ癒されました。

Had a relaxing and fun day with the Kahua Ranch horseback group! Went with my husband and two teenage sons. My youngest son has high functioning Autism and was given a gentle sweet horse. The ranch is beautiful and has many types of terrain to ride across. The ranch is a working ranch with cattle and cows with calves. There are also sheep spread around the property. The guides are knowledgeable and fun and support the guests with instruction and help throughout the ride. This is a gentle relaxing ride for all skill levels. I would recommend this excursion for folks wanting a calm relaxing ride threw the pastures of Big Island! (The cows get all the best views on Big Island!)

We were a group of three guys with almost no riding experience. They did a great job of making sure we knew what we were doing and the horses were good.
Riding horses was fun but my favorite thing about that activity was the stop at the waterfalls. Very safe lake to swim in and they even let you use canoes which was a great addition.

Mylie and Jamie made sure we were comfortable on our horses, given our varying degrees of riding experience. Each horse was perfectly matched to us! I even shared a name with my horse! As we rode through the beautiful rain forest area, Mylie and Jamie shared information about the flora and history of the area. Both grew up in the area and are so knowledgable.
At the waterfall, there were toilets and a changing room. Jamie got out kayaks and paddleboards for those who wanted them, but the pool was also fabulous for swimming. I swam and sat behind the waterfall, listening to the water cascade over me! Brilliant. So much fun!
On the ride back we stopped for a photo op. and learned more about the area.
Though this is a new tour and outfit, they are connected with a well-established outfit and have the expertise you look for in a horseback excursion! Fabulous afternoon!

It is hard to know which cruise to book--well this is the one I would go with each time! The crew were knowledgable and respectful! As we came into the bay, their were a pod of spinner dolphins; we kept a respectful distance but we all got to take photos. Then when we pulled into anchor and snorkel, they made sure we knew to keep our distance from where the dolphins were swimming, since the dolphins come to the bay to rest it is even more important for people to give them their space--so impressed with the crew.
The snorkeling was beautiful. The coral was amazing and at many different levels with sooo many different species of fish!! Fabulous!

Love waterfalls? Love rain forests? Love riding horses (or have always wanted to try)? Want to learn more about the plants and animals and history of the area? Then this tour is the one for you!
We were hoping to go on the horseback ride through the Waipi'o Valley; however, it was booked. We think it was our lucky day. We have no doubt the Waipi'o Valley ride would have been wonderful, but on our tour--we got to swim in a waterfall! The two tour leaders, Jamie and Mylie, made sure we were each comfortable on our horse given our varying riding abilities. We rode for about 45 minutes as the guides told us about the plants we were seeing and a bit about the history of the area. It was wonderful dialogue. When we arrived at the waterfalls, there was a restroom and changing room. Jamie and Mylie got out kayaks and paddle boards for those who wanted it, but I just wanted to swim--it was wonderful. The two falls were strong, but I swam up along the side and behind it to sit behind it, watching the water pour down! We then had a photo op. on our horses with the falls in the background. We had a wonderful ride back--Jamie and Mylie were a wealth of information, kindness, and support! Fabulous day--my daughter's favorite of our 2 week vacation!

My cousin and I did the horseback ride to the waterfall adventure on 6/18/19 and had so much fun. I was really nervous to ride a horse because I have not done so since I was a child, however, the guide (I believe his name was Jamie), made me feel really comfortable and answered all of my questions. This was by far the best horseback riding experience I have had. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the local plants and Hawaiian history. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone!
