Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation
just book it!
Reviewed by: patrick
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
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.

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.

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。

最高♪
Reviewed by: YUMIKO
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
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。

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.

Morning Whale Watch & Snorkel BBQ Cruise (from Kailua-Kona Pier)
not a single attempt to see a whale was made
Reviewed by: DutchCleo
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

Big Island Lei Greeting Service at Kona Airport - Hawaiian Floral Necklace
A Great Welcome to Hawaii
Reviewed by: Gillespie
My wife and I decided to take our children, their spouses and all the grandchildren on a family vacation to Hawaii. I remembered the nice welcome we had on our first vacation to Hawaii shortly after we were married, and I thought it would be nice to give the whole family a similar experience. Once I found someone to direct me to a possible website, the process was straight forward and easy. What I was looking for was being offered at a discount, and the price seemed right. The instructions were easy to follow, but without mentioning anything to the family, our grandchildren happened to find people holding up our sign first. The hostesses were ready for us with 10 aloha welcomes and beautiful orchid leis (of which 3 were upgraded further, for the mothers). The kids were all pleased and our youngest wore here lei as part of a hairpiece a few days later and it was still looking good. Maybe this isn't needed on each trip to Hawaii, but I'm sure glad I arranged this as a first-time welcome for the grandchildren and their parents. Thanks again for making everything special for our family.

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＞
ハワイ島の海を満喫するなら最高のアクティビティ！
Reviewed by: bayapbayap
30代夫婦と4歳の長男で参加しました。
初ハワイ島でハワイ島の海を満喫できるアクティビティを探していたのですが、丁度4歳以上で参加可となっていましたので、即予約いたしました。
ボートに乗るまでは4歳の子供だとボートから振り落とされないかな？と不安もあったのですが、ボートの真ん中の台のような場所で、妻が伸ばした足の上に乗るかたちで座らせてもらえ、振り落とされる心配もありませんでした。（ボートがバウンドする際はぴょんぴょん跳ねてましたが笑、それも楽しんでいたようです）
また、キャプテン（と同乗の女性スタッフとそのお子さん）も、子供のことを終始気にかけていただき、シュノーケリングの際には、最初は私か妻がボート上で子供の世話をし、順番にシュノーケリングしていたのですが、途中でキャプテンが「子供を見ていてあげるから二人で行っておいで」と言っていただき、妻と二人でシュノーケリングを楽しむことができ非常に助かりました。子供用のビート板状の浮き具（真ん中が透明になっていて海の中が見える）も出していただいたのですが、子供が海に入るのを嫌がり使いませんでした。小さいお子さんがおられる方でも、比較的心配なさらずに参加いただけると思います。
今回参加した際のアクティビティの内容です。
同乗の方はアメリカ人のご夫婦二組（40代くらい？）と私たちの計7名でした。
港を出発してまずは港近くのポイントでイルカの群れを見ました。数え切れないくらいのイルカを間近で見ることができこの時点で感動！です。その後、ボートを沖まで走らせ鯨の観察スポットまで移動します。ハワイ島の雄大な景色を横目に見ながらのラフティングは最高に気持いい！の一言。その後、5回ほどボートを走らせている途中で鯨の群れを発見して間近で観察しました。これには長男も「鯨さんの顔が見えた！」と感動していました。後ほど、現地の方に聞いたところでは今年は鯨の当たり年だそうです。そして、ボートを南へ走らせ、キャプテンクック碑のある湾へ移動してシュノーケリングです。ここは有名なシュノーケーリングスポットらしく、他にも何隻かシュノーケリングのボートがすでに停泊していました。かなりの種類の熱帯魚を間近で観察することが出来るので、シュノーケリングスポットになっているのも納得！です。ボート上でのランチは手作りのチキンサンドイッチとスナック、ジュースでした。サンドイッチは本当においしかったです（キャプテンに勧められるがまま２つも食べてしまいました）。スナックは子供が大喜びで、これのおかげかボート上で待っている間もグズることなく大人しく待っていてくれました。シュノーケリングの時間は1時間半くらいはあって大満足です。
その後、火山の活動と海の波が作り出した洞窟のように削られた雄大な岸壁をキャプテンの解説付きで巡りながら港まで戻ります。その間もボートを急旋回やジャンプさせたりして楽しませてくれました。
以下、参加した上での注意点です。
基本的に全ての会話は英語です。片言レベルでもこちらの要求を伝えることや、キャプテンとの意思疎通は出来るので、アクティビティへの参加という点では問題ありませんが、途中、イルカやクジラの生態の解説、キャプテンクックや岸壁（火神ペレのことだったと思う）の解説は全て英語ですので、片言レベルでは聞き取ることができませんでした。個人的には解説がなくても体験だけでも大満足でした。
あと、写真を撮るためには、防水対策をしたカメラが必須です。荷物はボートに乗り込む際にボート前方に纏めておくのですが、イルカや鯨を発見したときにすぐに取り出すことができません。同乗したご夫婦は、iPhoneを防水パックにいれて首からぶら下げておられ、また水中用のインスタントカメラを持参されておられました。我々も持参すれば良かった、と少し後悔しました。
この価格でこの内容は本当にコストパフォーマンスが高いと思います。
本当に楽しかったです！！
