A man who loves dolphins and is loved by dolphins! Yes, he is—! イルカを愛し、イルカに愛された男!そう、彼こそはー!

Reviewed by: mas myk

Daisuke, our guide, was wonderful with his attentiveness.

The weather was drizzly and chilly, not typical for Hawaii, but we were able to see plenty of dolphins! We even got to see them jump, which was very satisfying.

I brought my iPhone in a waterproof case, but it didn't respond to swipes underwater. I was advised to start recording video on the boat, and when I tried that, it worked well.

While I was playing with the dolphins, I got a bit seasick (it's better to take motion sickness medication), but everyone was kind and helped me calm down.

According to Daisuke, "I am confident that we can get you closer to the dolphins than anyone else. If we couldn't see them, I believe other companies' boats wouldn't be able to either." His love for dolphins and constant attentiveness seem to help him know the best spots and share information with others.

If there’s a next time, I would definitely love to join again.

ガイド(インストラクター?)のダイスケさんの気配りが素晴らしかったです。

天候は小雨で肌寒くハワイらしくない日でしたが、イルカちゃん(ダイスケさん風)は沢山見れました!ジャンプ姿も見れて、大満足でした。

iPhoneを防水カバーに入れて持って行きましたが、海の中ではスワイプが反応しません。"船の上で動画を始めた状態にすると良いですよ"と言われたので実践したところ、上手くいきました^ ^

イルカたちと戯れている間、私は途中で波酔いしてしまいました(酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が良いです)が、皆さんが優しく対応して下さり気分を落ち着かせる事が出来ました。

ダイスケさん曰く、"どこよりも、イルカちゃんに会わせてあげる自信があります。僕たちがイルカちゃん達に会えなかったら、他の会社さんの船も絶対会えてないと思います。"との事。イルカを愛し、いつも気遣いをしているからこそ、遭遇ポイントも分かるし、他社の方々とも情報共有出来ているようです。

次回があれば、是非またご厄介になりたいと思います。

A precious experience swimming with wild dolphins! 自然のイルカと泳げる貴重な体験!

Reviewed by: MASA&GRIM

I participated with my wife. The reason we chose this activity, as mentioned in the reviews, is that the guides (Daisuke and Ryo) genuinely care for and love the dolphins.

After actually participating, I felt even more that they truly love dolphins from the bottom of their hearts. We encountered dolphins multiple times and were able to swim with them. It was moving to see them swimming comfortably in the natural sea, including family dolphins and baby dolphins. We could also hear their voices.

On our way back to the port, we encountered a manta ray, and although it wasn't included in the tour, we were given the opportunity to swim with it. Thank you so much!!

When we returned to the port, I strongly felt the desire to protect the natural dolphins. I definitely want to participate again next year!

妻と参加させて頂きました。今回このアクティビティを選んだ理由はリビューにも記載されている通り、ガイドの方(ダイスケさんリョウさん)が心からイルカのことを大切に思い愛されているからでした。

実際参加してみたところ、リビューの内容以上に心身からイルカのことが好きなんだな、と感じました。
何回もイルカとも遭遇し一緒に泳ぐことができました。家族のイルカ、
子供のイルカ等、自然の海を心地よく泳いでいる姿に感動です。
イルカの声も聞くことができました。
港に戻る際はマンタに遭遇し、ツアーの内容には含まれていませんでしたが一緒に泳ぐ機会を与えて頂きました。
本当にありがとうございました!!

港に戻った際は自然のイルカを大切に守っていきたいと強く感じました。
来年も是非参加させて頂きます!

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

If you go to the Big Island of Hawaii, you definitely want to experience this. ハワイ島行くなら是非体験して欲しい

Reviewed by: ぐうたん

Every time I come to the Big Island, I participate in the Fair Wind snorkeling tour. I usually go in the morning, but this time I joined in the afternoon for the first time. Since lunch is not included, I had a meal before heading out.

While the volcano and star tours are great, I really want everyone to experience the beauty of the ocean around the Big Island. At Captain Cook's Point, there are more fish than anywhere else, even more than at Hanauma Bay on Oahu. This time, we were the only Japanese participants. My elderly father doesn't dive, but he always enjoys the cruise and feels satisfied.

When we arrived at the port, it was just in time for the sunset, and we enjoyed watching it for a bit after getting off the boat.

It's only about a 15-minute drive from Kona, where we're staying, to the port, so it's very convenient.

The weather was nice, and it felt great!

I was able to meet a lot of dolphins. たくさんのイルカに会えました

Reviewed by: ミカコ

When we gathered, the guide mentioned that on the same tour a few days prior, they hadn't encountered any dolphins, which made me a bit worried. However, we were lucky to see many dolphins!

After heading out to sea, I learned that usually, they swim slowly towards where the dolphins are, but that day, there were unusually many dolphins coming towards us.

While we were fortunate, I believe it was also thanks to the guide who chose that location. The guide decides where to wait for the dolphins.

The boat ride took about 30 to 40 minutes, but the guide shared various stories about the Big Island, dolphins, and whales, making the journey enjoyable. It was also nice that it wasn't a large group tour, but rather a small one. Thank you very much.

集合したときガイドさんに、私が参加した数日前の同じツアーでは全くイルカに出会えなかったと聞いて心配になりましたが、運よくたくさんのイルカに会えました。
沖にでてからも、いつもはイルカのいるほうへ少しずつ泳いで移動するそうですが、その日はいつになくたくさんのイルカが来てくれてたそうで、イルカのほうから寄ってきてくれる感じでした。

運もよかったですが、その場所を選んでくれたガイドさんのおかげでもあると思います。どのあたりでイルカを待つかはガイドさんの判断だそうです。

船での移動は30~40分ほどありましたが、ガイドさんもハワイ島やイルカやクジラのいろんな話をしてくれたので、移動中も楽しく過ごせました。一度に大勢参加するツアーではなく少人数でのツアーだったのもよかったです。
ありがとうございました。

A wonderful experience. A memory for a lifetime. 素晴らしい体験。一生の思い出

Reviewed by: りんごジュース

I encountered a large number of dolphins—countless, really. On this day, I was lucky to spot dolphins right after getting on the boat. We swam with them for about an hour without moving. The dolphins jumped and were very playful.

In the water, some were sleeping while others were active; the active ones would come up to the surface and then swim close to us repeatedly. The sleeping ones floated in deeper waters. The sound of the dolphins chirping could be heard all around, making it a truly precious experience.

This tour might be canceled soon, but I’m really glad I was able to participate. By the way, even if you can't swim, they provide flotation devices, so you can still join. If you go to Hawaii, you definitely should do this! Lastly, thank you so much to the captain who took us back and shared various things about Kona.

大量のイルカちゃんと遭遇。数え切れないくらい。。
この日はラッキーで船で移動してすぐにイルカと遭遇しました。そしてそのまま移動することなく1時間程泳いでました。
イルカもジャンプしてくれたり、サービス精神旺盛です。
水中は寝てる子と活動してる子がいて、活動してる子は気ままに水面に上がっては近づいての繰り返し。寝てる子は深いところでプカプカ。
イルカのキュイキュイという声があちらこちらで聞こえていて、とても貴重な体験となりました。
もしかしたらもうすぐ中止になってしまうかもしれないツアーですが、参加できて本当に良かった。
ちなみに泳げなくても浮具を貸してくれるので参加できます。ハワイにいったら絶対やったほうがいいです!
最後に、帰り送っていただいた船長さん、コナのことも色々教えて頂いて、本当にありがとうございました(*^^*)

There were a lot of fish! お魚たくさんいたよ~

Reviewed by: ふぃーちゃん

We arrived early with the rental car, applied sunscreen, and were fully prepared! However, despite that, my calves and the back of my thighs got really sunburned from snorkeling. Among the dozen participants, we were the only Japanese couple. We traveled by speedboat and arrived at the snorkeling spot, where the water was clear and there were plenty of fish. We had sandwiches for lunch and moved a little, but during the second snorkeling session, there wasn't much change since we only moved a few hundred meters, which was disappointing. On the way back, we stopped at several places eroded by waves, and the captain explained everything in English, but we were completely lost. We also encountered a pod of dolphins, and the dolphin jumps were heart-melting.

The day before and the day before that, I heard that no dolphins were seen at all. However, contrary to my worries, many dolphins appeared! The baby dolphins were tiny and adorable! There were many honeymooners, including us. Since the sun is strong while moving on the boat, it's better to have a rash guard or something similar.

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾 シュノーリングツアー <軽食付き/英語ガイド>

Even as a beginner in snorkeling, I had a great time. シュノーケル初心者でも楽しめました

Reviewed by: とくめい

I participated in this tour to enjoy the sea on the rocky shores of Hawaii Island. There are two main highlights of this tour:

1. Snorkeling
I wasn't very good at swimming, but I was grateful that they provided life jackets. The first snorkeling spot was about 3 meters deep, so I couldn't touch the bottom, and at the other location, I couldn't stand on the coral reef either, so I was swimming the whole time. There weren't a huge number of fish, but I was happy to see a turtle.

2. The speed of the boat
It was astonishing. Of course, I took off my hat and held onto the railing the entire time. It was thrilling and a lot of fun. I think it was even more impactful than snorkeling.

The locals also said that Sea Quest is great, and the morning plan, which has less intense waves, wraps up before noon, so I was able to make the most of my day. However, the guide only spoke English, so all the instructions were in English as well. I also recommend applying sunscreen thoroughly, especially on your back.

岩場の多いハワイ島で海を楽しむため参加しました。このツアーの楽しみは2点です。

1.シュノーケル
泳ぐのが苦手でしたが、ライフジャケットを用意しておいてくれたので助かりました。一つ目のシュノーケルポイントは水深3メートルぐらいで足はつきませんし、もう一つの場所でもサンゴ礁の上には立つことはできないので泳ぎぱなしです。
魚は大量というわけではありませんでしたが、カメに会うことができたのでよかったです。

2.ボートの速さ
驚愕でした。帽子などはもちろん外し、ずっと手すりにつかまっていました。スリルがあって楽しかったです。シュノーケル以上にインパクトがあったように思います。

現地の人もSea Questはいいよと言っていましたし、波の激しくない朝のプランはお昼前には解散なので一日充実できました。ただし、ガイドさんは本当に英語のみだったので注意事項などももちろん英語です。あと日焼け止めをとくに背中に入念に塗ることをおすすめします。

I swam with sea turtles. 海ガメと泳げた

Reviewed by: まるちゃん

The staff spoke only English, but we had the boat to ourselves with just the two of us. On the way to the snorkeling spot, they stopped at sightseeing spots visible from the boat. Unfortunately, we only saw the dorsal fins of the dolphins. It was a watching tour, not a swimming with dolphins tour, so that's understandable.

Please make sure to print out your reservation and bring it with you; confirmation screens on smartphones are not accepted. Also, since you will be sitting on the edge of the boat and traveling for about an hour, it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

The water temperature is low, and it gets quite chilly after snorkeling, so please bring a jacket and a bath towel. We snorkeled at two locations and had light snacks twice, which was great!

スタッフさんは英語のみでしたが、参加は私たちも二人で貸し切り
シュノーケリングスポットに着くまでにも、ボートから見える観光スポットに寄ってくださいました>^_^< イルカは残念ながら背ひれしか見えませんでした イルカと泳ぐツアーではなく、ウォッチングなのでしょうがないですね

I had a very happy and amazing experience. とても幸せな最高の体験ができました。

Reviewed by: AYAKA

Swimming with dolphins has been a dream of mine on Hawaii Island for years, and this was my first trip to Hawaii Island!! However, just before departure, there were reports of orca sightings, which gave me a strange feeling... Still, once we set sail, it felt wonderful and fun to cut through the wind and move across the sea.

As the boat progressed, both the captain and the guide gathered a lot of information and did everything possible to create a miracle. Although I didn't get to see any dolphins, they took us to a beautiful spot where we could go snorkeling.

Then came the much-anticipated second day. Since we were dealing with nature, I wasn't sure if we would see dolphins again, but I really wanted to go. And then, finally, the dolphins appeared!! I was so happy and excited that I swam with the dolphins, following the captain and guide's instructions, finding the best positions and timing over and over again.

This incredible experience was thanks to the dolphins and, above all, the two captains and the guide who worked hard to entertain us for two full days. I want to come back to Hawaii Island and join the same tour again. Thank you so much!!

イルカと泳ぐのはハワイ島♡と何年も前から決めており、今回初ハワイ島旅行!!
しかし、出港前にシャチの目撃情報があり怪しい予感…。それでも出港したら風を切りながら海を進むのが心地よくて楽しくて。
船を進める中、キャプテンもガイドさんもたくさんの情報収集をして奇跡を起こすための最善のことを全てしてくれました。
イルカには会えなかったけど、素敵な場所へ連れて行ってくれてシュノーケリングをできました。
そしてリベンジの2日目。
自然相手なので2日目も会えるかは分からないけど、とにかく行きたかった。
そしてそして念願のイルカの登場!!とにかく嬉しくて幸せでキャプテンとガイドさんの指示で夢中でイルカと泳ぎました。何度も何度もベストなポジションとタイミングで泳ぎました。
こんな幸せな経験をできたのはイルカたちとそして、何より2日間全力で私たちを楽しませてくれたキャプテン2名とガイドさんのおかげです。
またハワイ島へ来てまた同じツアー参加したいです。本当にありがとうございました!!

Dolphin イルカ

Reviewed by: ako

My first snorkeling experience with dolphins was exhilarating. We traveled to the spot by boat, and the weather was perfect, making the journey even more enjoyable! Once we arrived, the guide observed the dolphins' movements and chose the best spot for us to dive in. Dolphins swam right in front of us, and as I looked around, I spotted a mother and baby dolphin below me. They even came close to me, which was incredibly exciting. The guide swam with the dolphins, and it was truly amazing. I definitely want to do this again when I visit the Big Island!

初のイルカとのシュノーケリング、ワクワクで参加。
ポイントまで、ボードで移動。天気にも恵まれて移動中も気分は最高‼️
ポイントについて、ガイドの方がイルカの動きを見て、ベストな所でダイブイン。目の前をイルカが通過したり、周りをキョロキョロしてると、自分の下の方に親子連れのイルカがいたり、自分の近くまで近寄ってきたりと大興奮です。ガイドの方は、イルカと一緒に泳いだりしていて、本当に凄かった。

I was able to see a pod of dozens of dolphins! イルカの何十頭の群れが見れました!

Reviewed by: 船酔いさん

I was really able to swim with dolphins! On the day I participated, we encountered dolphins right after the boat left the port. I was surprised to see dolphins swimming in such a place! Under the guidance of Daisuke, who loves dolphins, we positioned the boat well and entered the water, but it was challenging to avoid splashing when entering. Timing for the dolphins to come was also tricky, so it seems important to keep your face in the water and look around while you're in the sea. There were two divers, but I think practicing to swim to some extent beforehand would allow you to swim more with the dolphins. The baby dolphins were jumping on the surface and were incredibly cute! Above all, when I heard the dolphins' voices underwater, it felt mystical. I can't guarantee it, but they really work hard to help you swim with the dolphins, so I believe it's definitely worth participating if you want to swim with them!

本当にイルカと泳ぐことができました!
今回参加した日は港から船が出たすぐの部分でイルカに会うことができました。こんなところで自然のイルカが泳いでるの!?とビックリしました。イルカ大好きダイスケさんの指示のもと船を良い部分に付けて海に降りるのですが、着水時に水しぶきが出ないようにしなければいけずそれが難しかったです。イルカが来るタイミングも難しいので海にいるときは常に顔を水につけてキョロキョロすることが大事みたいです。ダイバーさんは二人いましたがある程度泳げるように練習しておくとよりイルカと泳げると思います。イルカは赤ちゃんイルカがたくさん水面を跳ねててとても可愛かったです!何より海の中でイルカの声を聞けたときは神秘的なものを感じました。絶対とは言いませんがイルカと泳げるようかなり頑張ってくれるのでイルカと泳ぎたい方はぜひ参加する価値ありだと思います!

It was the best experience! 最高の体験でした!

Reviewed by: Hawaiiあいす

We thoroughly enjoyed thrilling rafting and beautiful snorkeling in the ocean under wonderful weather! The service from the captain and crew was absolutely five-star! In the morning, we were able to swim leisurely before the snorkeling spot at Kealakekua Bay became crowded with boats, and we got to see and even touch many dolphins up close. The sea, sparkling like a jewel, was also very satisfying. My kids (especially my son) were thrilled, saying the captain was an excellent navigator and super cool, and that this was the most fun they’ve ever had on a trip. They can’t wait to join again next time!

★ Sunscreen is a must. Sunglasses and a lightweight beach towel are also essential. It gets quite chilly while swimming. You might not need a hat as it could blow away. Since large bags cannot be taken on the boat, it’s best to bring only what you need in a compact backpack. Sandals are sufficient for footwear. My younger child (9) can swim but borrowed a life jacket from the reception office (which is free, of course). My older child (13) got tired and borrowed a noodle (a floating tube like macaroni) halfway through. Having a noodle makes it easier. There isn’t a specific place to change after returning, so you’ll either stay in your swimsuit or change in the rental car. There was a restaurant and restroom where we disembarked! ★

素晴らしいお天気の中、スリリングなラフティングと美しい海のシュノーケルを存分に楽しみました!なんと言っても、サービス満点なキャプテン&クルーは5つ星間違いなし!朝、ケアラケクア湾のシュノーケルスポットが船で溢れ返ってしまう前にゆっくりと泳げましたし、沢山のイルカを触れるほど間近で見ることもできました。宝石のような輝きの海にも大満足でした。子供たち(特に息子)はキャプテンは操縦がうまくてめちゃくちゃかっこいいし今回の旅で一番楽しかったと大喜びでした。次回も参加したいと大はしゃぎです! 

★日焼け止めは必須です。サングラス、それからバスタオルは薄手の物でも必ず持った方が良いです。泳いでいるとだいぶ冷えます。帽子は飛ばされちゃいますのでいらないかと。ボートに大きな荷物は載せられないので、コンパクトなリュックに必要なものだけ持っていくと良いでしょう。履物はサンダルで十分です。 
下の子(9)は泳げますが受付事務所でライフジャケットを借りました(もちろん無料です)上の子(13)疲れて途中でヌードル(マカロニみたいな浮くチューブ)を借りました。ヌードルがあると楽です。帰りに着替える場所は特に無いので、水着のままかレンタカーの中で着替えるかになります。下船した所にレストランとトイレがありましたよ★

In the first place. そもそも

Reviewed by: ほぬさま

This is not just about the tour content; it's a bigger issue. I used your service in August, and although I made a proper reservation for four people from Japan, only two reservations were actually confirmed, and the remaining two ended up being walk-ins on the day of the tour. Due to the pricing situation, I emailed Veltra after returning home, but I have been ignored regarding this matter. I will not be using this company in the future.

ツアー内容どうこうの話ではなく、それ以前の問題です。8月にお世話になったのですが、日本からきちんと4名の予約をしていったのに、実際予約が2名分しかとれていなく残りの2名は当日予約になってしまいました。料金の兼ね合いもありveltraさんに帰国後メールを入れましたがそれに関しては無視されています。今後この会社を使うことはありません。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour.

However, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused during your trip.

As mentioned in a separate email, your reservation was made for four people in our system, but it seems that the operating company mistakenly secured seats for only two people. Our staff noticed on the day of the tour that your reservation was for four people and that you had paid for it, and they canceled the additional two seats on the spot.

It is truly regrettable that what should have been a wonderful memory from the snorkeling cruise turned into a bitter experience due to our reservation management error. We also apologize for the delayed response to your review. We have taken strict measures to ensure that the operating company does not cause any inconvenience to customers due to such reservation errors in the future.

We take your feedback seriously and, together with the operating company, will strive to improve our services further. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback amidst your busy schedule.

VELTRA Customer Support Team

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
しかしながら、せっかくのご旅行中にご不便おかけし、大変申し訳ございませんでした。

別途メールにてご連絡させていただきましたが、お客様のご予約ですは弊社のシステム上では4名様にてご予約いただいておりましたが、催行会社側にて誤って2名様で席を確保していたようでございます。当日中にスタッフがお客様のご予約が4名様でお支払されていることに気が付き、追加でご予約いただいた2名様分につきましてはその場でキャンセルしたとのことでした。

せっかく楽しみにしていただいたシュノーケリングクルーズであったにも関わらず、予約管理不備により良い旅の思い出になるべきところが苦い思い出へ変わってしまったこと大変心苦しく感じております。また体験談にご投稿いただいたにも関わらずご返信が遅くなりましたことお詫び申し上げます。催行会社にはこのような予約不備にてお客様にご迷惑をおかけすることがございませんよう厳重注意させていただきました。

お客様からのお言葉を真摯に受け止め、催行会社共々、今後さらなるサービス向上に努めてまいります。
お忙しい中、貴重なご投稿を賜りまして、誠にありがとうございました。

I love it!! Dolphins are the best! 大好き!!イルカ最高

Reviewed by: MOYUCHI

I was deeply moved to encounter so many dolphins. My 7-year-old daughter went snorkeling for the first time, and thanks to the incredibly kind support from Daisuke and Keiko, we were able to have the best time. Our whole family was so touched that we can't express it in words. We are very grateful to Captain Nawata for all his help, to all the guides we met, and to the nature of the Big Island. Thank you for everything.

沢山のイルカに出会うことができとっても感動しました。7歳の娘は初めてのシュノーケルでしたが、ダイスケさんとけいこさんのとっても優しいサポートのお陰で最高の時間を過ごすことができました。
家族全員とにかく感動で、言葉では言い表すことができない位です。
船長の縄田さんにもとってもお世話になり、ガイドの皆さんに出会えたこと、ハワイ島の自然、全てに感謝申し上げます。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾 シュノーリングツアー <軽食付き/英語ガイド>

I was able to see dolphins too! (^.^) イルカも見れたし(^.^)

Reviewed by: Mash

I think it's a simple and good plan if your goal is to go snorkeling in a beautiful place. However, for those who only speak Japanese, it might be a bit challenging... They provide explanations about the lava caves along the way, but only in English.

きれいな場所でシュノーケリングするという目的ならシンプルで良いプランだと思います。ただ英語オンリーだったのまったくダメな人には・・・途中に溶岩洞窟の説明とかしてくれます、英語で(+_+)

I am very satisfied with the abundance of fish. 魚たくさん満足

Reviewed by: water

There are many fish in the shallow area. I was surprised when I was surrounded by yellow tangs.
It's also recommended for energetic kids to slide down from the boat's slide or jump off the diving board.
If you're not confident or worried about getting tired, you can wear a floatation belt around your torso for peace of mind.
Breakfast and lunch are enjoyable on the boat. The meat for the lunch burgers is freshly grilled on the boat and delicious.
I also got to see dolphins.

浅い方に魚がたくさん。キイロハギに囲まれた時はびっくり。
船から滑り台で滑り降りたり、ジャンプ台から飛び込んだり、元気なお子さんにもオススメです。
自信ない人、疲れるのが心配だあれば胴体に巻く浮きのようなベルトつければ安心。
朝食も昼食も船上で楽。お昼のハンバーガー用のお肉は船上焼きたてで美味しいです。
イルカにも会えました。

Hawaii Island is the best! ハワイ島、最高!

Reviewed by: あつママ

We participated with my sister in her 40s and her children (a 2nd grader and a 1st year high school student). It was our first stay on the Big Island of Hawaii, and we were anxious about our English skills, but thanks to the person who picked us up and our guide, we felt truly safe and enjoyed ourselves. They guided us with careful encouragement while cherishing Hawaii's nature and dolphins, ensuring that guests could fully enjoy snorkeling. My 7-year-old son, who was experiencing the ocean for the first time, jumped in with a wonderful smile without any fear. Even for me, a first-time snorkeler, I was able to relax without a floatation device thanks to the guide's suggestion, "Mom, you'll be fine without a float, you can do it," and I entrusted my children to them, allowing us to fully enjoy the beautiful world of dolphins. I am truly grateful for being able to share such a happy experience with my children! I will not forget the smiles of the staff and the ocean of Hawaii, and I definitely want to visit the Big Island again.

40代の姉妹と、その子ども(小2と高1)で参加しました。ハワイ島初滞在で英語も不安な私たちでしたが、迎えにきてくださった方やガイドさんのおかげで、本当に安心して楽しめました。ハワイの自然やイルカを大切にしながら、ゲストがシュノーケリングを満喫できるよう細やかなお声かけで誘導して下さいました。海が初めての7歳の息子も、全く怖がらず素晴らしい笑顔で飛び込んでいました。シュノーケリングが初めてのわたしも、ガイドさんの「ママは浮きなしでも大丈夫、いけるよ」の暗示(?)のおかげで(笑)リラックスして浮き具なしで、子どももお任せして、とても美しいイルカさんの世界を堪能できました。こんなハッピーな体験を子どもと一緒に楽しめたこと、心からありがとうございました!スタッフの方々の笑顔とハワイの海を忘れず、ぜひまたハワイ島を訪れたいです。

Slowly ゆっくり

Reviewed by: ペダル

I participated in a morning tour. It took less than an hour on a larger boat to reach the snorkeling point. There were chairs and tables in the cabin on the first floor where we could have breakfast and lunch, and since there was only one snorkeling spot, we were able to relax and enjoy it. The water at the spot was clear, and there were plenty of fish.

午前中のツアーに参加しました。大きめの船でシュノーケルポイントまで1時間弱。
1階の船室で椅子・テーブルがあり朝、昼飯が食べれ、ポイントも一か所なのてゆっくり出来て良かったです。
ポイントも水が澄んでいて魚もいっぱいです。
