Hula Kai Kona Luxury Snorkel Tour with 2 Snorkeling Stops, Breakfast & Lunch

Kona Coast Snorkel Adventure

Reviewed by: angye, 2018/07/27

This adventure was awesome! Lots of fish at both areas but especially the second area. We were the only boat at the second place we went to and there were tons of fish! I wish I would've taken my own snorkel gear but I'll make sure I do next time. Their gear was ok though.
5 hours was a good amount of time and we didn't feel rushed at either stopping area.
The breakfast was good.
I don't eat meat and the veggie burger that they made was pretty bad. I have never had a veggie burger that I liked. I love having everything on a bun with cheese though and that was great.

Mauna Kea Evening Stargazing & Daytime Solar Viewing Tour with Dinner

One of the highlights of our trip!

Reviewed by: Hawaiian First Timer, 2018/07/24

Husband and I throughly enjoyed the excursion! Our guide blew us away with his well rounded knowledge of the island, its geography and history. The coffee farm and meal were a special treat before an evening of stargazing.

マウナケア山頂 サンセット&星空観測ツアー <午後/天体望遠鏡/夕食付/英語ガイド> by ハワイフォレスト&トレイル

最高の体験!

Reviewed by: CORSAIR, 2018/07/24

全てが素晴らしいツアーでした。

マウナケア山頂は雲の上であり、とても美しいサンセットと星空観賞、星空撮影を満喫できました。キラウエアの溶岩が空を赤く照らす現象も山頂から眺められたことに驚きました。

ガイドの説明や案内のレベルも高く、様々な分野にとても詳しい方でした。
食事場所の雰囲気や環境、味も文句なしです。

Big Island Divers - Kona Night Scuba Diving with Mantas

Manta night time

Reviewed by: Bill, 2018/07/22

The Manta experiences one of the greatest things I’ve ever done in my life you need to recommend this all of your friends. The crew was the greatest they were attentive of all your needs. They did everything that they could do to put you in full view of the mantas and they were truly wonderful . I hope that I will be able to return To Kona someday and do this again with the same crew.

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail

Absolutely wonderful experience

Reviewed by: YOPPI, 2018/07/21

The tour guide Herald was very nice, friendly and knowledgeble on native hawaiian's culture, ecology and astronomy. We got to see a "natural planetarium" in the mountain including Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus. Coming from a big city we don't see stars in the sky, so the view was just breath taking and we were soooo glad we participated in the tour. I guess you can go to the summit and see stars on your own but I'd strongly recommend this tour. Because I think it will give you a whole new experience and view on the island and their culture.
Dinner was tasty too. I was expecting a lot less.

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

Definitely a memorable experience.

Reviewed by: Diana T, 2018/07/18

We thoroughly enjoyed the Manta Ray excursion. The tour guide was great with telling us about the history of this tour and details about the behavior and nature of these Manta Rays. My daughter was most impressed. Although she’s 9yo and a good swimmer, she was still a little nervous about snorkeling at night and meeting these Manta Rays that could come inches to your face. However, the tour guide has made everyone felt safe and she was able to enjoy the magnificence of these gentle sea creatures. Highly recommended

Family Trip

Reviewed by: Jon Milesky, 2018/07/16

This company was professional and went out of their way to make sure that everything was in place to make our trip first class. From calling the day before to confirm with us on meeting location and time to hot brownies at the end of the tour. Everything was great and the guide took the time to get to know us so she could make our experience the best it could be.

I would highly recommend this company.

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

Good day trip option

Reviewed by: Deonna C., 2018/07/12

We only had one day on the big island and wanted to see as much as possible. This tour takes you all the way around with multiple, although brief stops and several locations. Could omit the coffee tasting and spend more time on the black beach or at the falls.

Our guide, Keith, was full of history, folk lore and traditional information which was a big bonus.
If you want history and a good whirlwind tour of the island, this tour is for you.
Of note, lunch was provided and this service has its own chef who prepares the meals. Very healthy sampling of the typical fare at area restaurants, however, when it’s served in lieu of a cold sandwich and a picturesque park, it suddenly becomes one of the best meals of the vacation.

  • Black sand beaches

  • Flowers everywhere!

イルカがとても近い!

Reviewed by: よしよし, 2018/07/07

英語のガイドさんでしたが聞き取りやすい話し方で問題なかったです。イルカは数メートル潜ったり水面近くを泳いだりしていて、とても可愛かったです。東京の御蔵島のイルカも2度見に行ったことがありますが、ハワイ島の方が断然近付いてきます。ケアラケクア湾は珊瑚が枯れ気味?少し心配になりました。最後にフルーツの盛り合わせが出てきて美味しかった!!

この度は弊社のツアーにご参加いただき、またこうしてコメントを残していただき、誠にありがとうございました。楽しんでいただけたようで何よりです。イルカたちも近づいてきてくれたようですね。そうですね、珊瑚は、日焼け止めや地球温暖化など、様々な要因で影響を受けています。美しい地球を次世代に残すためにも、私たち人間の行いを改めていきたいですね。フルーツの盛り合わせも美味しく食べてもらえたようで、良かったです。ありがとうございました。

サプライズ成功

Reviewed by: Ryu, 2018/07/06

せっかくのハワイ旅行なので、ちゃんと歓迎をしてもらおうと思いお願いしました。
妻には内緒で予約しておいたので、何かあったら心配でしたが、入管ゲートをうんざりしながら抜けて
前に進むといかにもなハワイアンマダムがプレートを持って立っていました。

あらかじめ妻の名前でお願いしていたので、気づいた妻はビックリ
「私の名前が書いてある!?」
サプライズ成功です。

近年では珍しくなってしまったようで、我々しかサービスを依頼していないようでしたが
記念写真も快く受けてくれ、歓待していただき感謝しています。

また、その後に場所に不慣れな我々のために、レンタカーの待合所まで送ってもらいました。
チップをお渡ししたのですが、残念ながら受け取ってくれませんでした。(夫婦共々感謝しています)

このサービス、生花を貰えることもあり、高いとは思いません。
サプライズをお考えの方には、絶対にオススメです。価格以上の満足です。
頂いたレイは最終日に海へお返ししました。(水をかけてあげれば結構長持ちします)

  • ハワイの海に返すのが習わしだそうです。

Excellent Experience overall

Reviewed by: Jmontgomery, 2018/07/03

Even though I was sea sick, my husband and daughter had the time of their life that they described as surreal like a dream. The mantas were inches away from their faces doing rolls. An experience they will never forgot and well worth it. The captain and crew were very nice and sympathetic to my condition.

Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona

Very good experience

Reviewed by: Matt, 2018/06/26

My wife and I had a good experience. The boat was comfortable although some people got seasick since it was a fairly choppy sea. I'd recommend taking Dramamine before going. The appetizers were just bagged snacks and cans of juice and pop. We ended up seeing about eight manta rays in the water.

Excellent experience and well worth the money. The crew was friendly and helpful. I would not recommend this experience for “timid” children but, if your kid is into new things and not afraid of the ocean, this is an experience they will remember forever! It was amazing to see how well all the boat crews worked together to ensure everyone enjoyed a fantastic show

野生のマンタ シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>

マンタが次から次へ来てくれる!

Reviewed by: のんのろ, 2018/06/22

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。

Island Breeze Big Island Kona Luau at King Kamehameha Hotel with Open Bar

Luau at the King Kamehameha

Reviewed by: Just27, 2018/06/22

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.

Big Island Watersports - Kona Jet Ski Ride Tour (from Kailua Pier) [Open Soon]

Kona Jetski was a blast

Reviewed by: Todd, 2018/06/18

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.

Oceanfront Royal Kona Luau with Open Bar - Voyagers of the Pacific Show

Royal Kona Resort Luau

Reviewed by: Todd, 2018/06/18

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.

Fantastic experience

Reviewed by: Jason, Bindi, Linda, 2018/06/18

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.
