Keauhou Bay Manta Ray Night Dive Tour & Snorkel Adventure from Kona - Sea Quest

Manta Swim is a Must Do in Kona - An Amazing Experience - SO AWESOME!!!

Reviewed by: Jo

The team at Sea Quest was excellent! The crew was very informative and they really went out of their way to ensure we saw manta rays the whole time we were out on the water. It was such an amazing experience. I highly recommend this tour. It's a real life Blue Planet experience.
If you're nervous about being close to the mantas, don't worry! They are beautiful gentle giants! I recommend grabbing a drink at Rays on The Bay before to calm your nerves.

Keauhou Bay Manta Ray Night Dive Tour & Snorkel Adventure from Kona - Sea Quest

Great night snorkeling with mantas

Reviewed by: Sharon Savant

Our tour was initially rescheduled due to inclement weather. Sea Quest was really professional and gave us a free GoPro rental to make up for the inconveniences. On the day of the tour, they prepped us with all the necessary gear (prescription snorkels, wet suits, regular snorkels, etc.) And gave us a brief overview of what to expect before we headed into the waters.
We saw about 5 mantas that night. They swam close by and it was a really cool experience. There were 2 sea Quest employees in the water with us helping us each step of the way whether it be to adjust the snorkels or retrieve a noodle. They also kept giving us information about the mantas to make the trip more enjoyable.
After about 45 min in the water it was a short ride back to shore where they had hot chocolate and bags of cookies waiting for us.
Over all a very fun experience. Would definitely recommend.

  • A beautiful sunset before we got on the boat

  • Gear on and ready to get into the water

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾 シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事付き>

It's just right. 過不足ないです

Reviewed by: Tsuka

Since it was a "budget trip," I participated in the afternoon plan and thoroughly enjoyed it.

The weather was nice, and I had fun sailing on the yacht. We even encountered a pod of dolphins in Kealakekua Bay. There was also plenty of time for snorkeling. On the way back, we had a bit of rain, but thanks to that, we were able to see a beautiful rainbow.

The staff only spoke English, but they were very friendly and went around offering drinks and cookies. I think it’s a sufficient tour unless you’re looking for meals or other extras.

「貧乏旅行」だったのでアフタヌーン・プランに参加しましたが、堪能しました。

天気が良かったこともありますが、ヨットでのセーリングを楽しみ、ケアラケクア湾ではイルカの群れにも遭遇。シュノーケリングの時間も十分にありました。帰りは一雨ありましたが、そのおかげで綺麗な虹まで見ることができました。

スタッフは英語のみでしたが、非常にフレンドリーで、飲み物やクッキーを配ってまわっていました。食事やその他のプラス・アルファを求めるのでなければ、十分なツアーだと思います。

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

Beautiful creatures

Reviewed by: David

The team where good and provided for a fun filled evening. The rays are beautiful and we got a few spin moves and seen about 6 animals. I highly recommend the experience and the ocean is lovely and warm. The only downside my wife had never snorkel before and required some extra guidance and assistance that wasn’t given so I did my best to help. Better instructions would have helped.

I had participated in a similar dolphin tour on Oahu, and it was great because we could see them from a very close distance and there were many of them. The beauty of the ocean was also wonderful, and it became a great memory. If you want to encounter dolphins with a high probability, I recommend this tour.

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

Amazing experience and great crew!

Reviewed by: Stacia

My husband and I went on the snorkel experience and it was the best! We saw about 15 manta rays, including one with a 12 foot wingspan, and probably close to 10 barrel rolls where they came within a few inches of us. Our crew worked hard to make sure we were comfortable and that we had a good time (even made us hot cocoa after we got out of the water). I can't say enough great things about Ocean Encounters- you might find a cheaper manta ray swim, but you won't find a better one.

A paradise of fish while snorkeling at a leisurely pace. じっくりシュノーケリングでお魚パラダイス

Reviewed by: すもこ

First of all, this tour starts with a meeting point, so it was an adventure for us from the beginning. We left Hilton Waikoloa a little over an hour before the meeting time and arrived safely after about 50 minutes, but the parking lot in front of Fair Wind was already full. We were directed to a parking area deep in the woods across the way (which was just right in front). It was very difficult to find... However, my mother had checked other people's blogs, so if you're worried, you might want to look there.

We took a large boat to Kealakekua Bay. It was a one-hour boat ride, but it wasn't too bumpy, and we were able to have breakfast, so it went by quickly. There is a second floor, but since meals are served on the first floor, I recommend staying on the first floor.

Once we arrived at the bay, we could snorkel freely. There were no Japanese staff, but they made sure to provide fins and floaties. The floaties, which looked like sumo wrestling mawashi, were quite amusing, but they allowed us to snorkel for a long time, making it very comfortable.

I don't think there were any explanations in English about the fish or where to find them, so you can just immerse yourself in snorkeling. Some people were jumping into the sea from the slide, while others finished snorkeling early to have lunch on the boat or enjoy the scenery; everyone was very relaxed.

On the way back, I was hoping to see dolphins, but I didn't find any. However, when I heard a loud noise and looked towards the back of the boat, there was a man struggling with a fishing line that had a reaction. Everyone cheered, and when a large barracuda came out, the atmosphere on the boat was electric.

This tour is recommended for those who want to enjoy their meals, snorkeling, and the scenery at a leisurely pace.

まずこのツアーは現地集合なのでそこから私たちにとっては冒険でした
集合時間の一時間ちょっと前にヒルトンワイコロアを出て、50分ほどで無事
到着しましたが、フェアウインドの前の駐車場はすでに埋まっていて、
対岸の(といってもすぐ目の前)方までぐるっとまわった林の中の駐車場を
案内されました。これを見つけるのはとても難しい・・・
でも他の人のブログで母がチェックしていたので心配な方はそちらを
そして、大型船でケアラケクア湾へ 一時間の船旅ですがそこまで揺れませんし、朝ご飯を食べられるのであっという間でした。
2階もありますが、食事が一階にありますので一階がおすすめ
湾につくと自由にシュノーケリング
日本人スタッフはいませんが、ヒレや浮き輪などちゃんと声をかけてくれます
相撲のまわしのような浮き輪がとても笑えますが、長い間シュノーケリング
出来るのでとても楽でした。
お魚の説明や、どこにいるよとかは特に英語でも説明はなかったと
思うので、ただただシュノーケリングに没頭できます
滑り台からジャンプして海に入ってる人や・早めにシュノーケリングを終えて
船内で昼食を食べてる人、景色を楽しんでる人それぞれで
とってもまったりしています。
帰る際には、イルカが見られるかもと思って探していましたが、見つからず、
大きな声がして船内の後方をみるとなんと、おじさんが反応のあった釣り糸と格闘中。みんなで応援して、大きなシーラが出てきたときは、船内は大盛り上がりでした。
ゆっくり、食事もシュノーケリングも景色も楽しみたい方にはおすすめのツアーです

Dolphin extravaganza! イルカ三昧!

Reviewed by: him

It was my first dolphin tour. I encountered a pod of about 200 dolphins and was able to swim with them! When I entered the water, I could hear the dolphins' calls all around me, and I was moved as dolphins swam right past me. There were four opportunities to swim with the dolphins, and I was able to swim with them during all of those chances. I felt grateful to have come, as I was told that encountering this many dolphins is rare. It was truly an emotional and unforgettable experience.

初めてのイルカツアーでした。

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>

You cannot see sea turtles. ウミガメは見れません

Reviewed by: ahaaaaa

At the top of the tour introduction on the website, there is a photo of a sea turtle, so I thought I would be able to see sea turtles while snorkeling, but in reality, I didn't see any at all.

Even though the weather was good, the water clarity wasn't that high, and I couldn't experience snorkeling that was truly impressive.

There was an explanation on the way to the snorkeling point by boat, but it was all in English. I was shown a Japanese explanation, but I think that was probably just a part (the minimum information). I believe they were explaining various things, but as someone who struggles with English, I could hardly understand anything.

When we arrived at the snorkeling point, we were allowed to jump into the sea from the boat and snorkel freely.

The guide was resting under a parasol on the boat. There was no explanation about where any fish were. I didn't even know how long we were allowed to snorkel.

After getting out of the water, we were given fruit (pineapple, apple, orange) and a small bag of snacks. (I was disappointed that this was the light meal...)

After that, we went by boat near a cave, but we couldn't enter the cave; we just looked at it from the boat. There was no Japanese explanation here either, so I didn't understand anything at all.

After that, we returned to the port by boat and disbanded. Given all this, I felt that the cost was quite high.

Moreover, there was no pick-up service, and I had to make my own way to the meeting point. Since I was staying at a hotel in the Mauna Lani area, it took about an hour to get to the meeting point.

サイトのツアー紹介の部分のTOPにウミガメの写真があるので
シュノーケリングでウミガメが見れるかと思ったけど
実際は全然見れなかった。

天気もよかったのに、海の透明度もそんなに高い訳ではなく
感動するほどのシュノーケリングは体験できなかった。

ボートでシュノーケリングできるポイントまで行く途中で説明があるが
すべて英語。
日本語での説明書きを見せてもらえるが、それはたぶん一部(最低限の情報)だと思う。
実際はいろいろ説明してたと思うが、英語が苦手な私にはほぼ理解できなかった。

シュノーケリングポイントについたら、勝手にボートから海に飛び込み
好き勝手にシュノーケリングするタイプ。

ガイドさんはボートの上にパラソルをたてて休憩していた。
どこに何の魚がいるとかの説明すらない。
どのくらいの時間シュノーケリングしてて良いのかさえ分からなかった。

海から上がると、パイナップル・リンゴ・オレンジのフルーツと
小さい袋のスナック菓子が配られた。
(軽食ってこれか…とガッカリ)

その後、ボートで洞窟の近くに行ったが
洞窟の中に入れるわけでもなく、ただボートに乗ったまま外から眺めるだけ。
ここは日本語の説明書きもなかったので、説明はまったく分からなかった。

その後は、ボートで港に戻って解散。
これだけなので、費用としてはかなり高く感じた。

しかも送迎がなく、自力で集合場所に行かなければならない。
マウナラニ地区のホテルに宿泊していたので、集合場所まで1時間くらいかかった。

Amazing! 最高!

Reviewed by: ルパン

On my first experience, unfortunately, I couldn't meet a manta ray, but I was told I could retry for free, so I challenged myself again four days later! When we arrived at the spot, just before it got dark, a manta ray came by, and everyone hurriedly jumped into the sea. The manta ray came so close that it brushed against our bodies, opening its large mouth and feeding on plankton while spinning around several times. On that day, three manta rays showed up, and it was incredibly exciting. The weather was nice, so on the way back, we could see a sky full of stars, and the Milky Way was clearly visible, making it a doubly enjoyable experience. I am grateful to the Japanese guide for being so kind. I would like to participate again when I visit the Big Island. However, two friends who joined me on the first attempt got severely seasick, so they decided not to retry. While waiting for the manta rays on the boat, it can be quite nauseating as the boat sways, so I think it's better for those who are prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication.

Participated on October 3, 2018.

1回目の体験で、残念ながらマンタに会う事ができませんでしたが、無料でリトライできると言われ4日後に再び挑戦!
ポイントに着くと、暗くなる前にマンタがやって来てくれ、皆慌てて海に飛び込みました。
体すれすれまでマンタが来て、大きな口を開けてプランクトンを何回も回転しながら食べてくれました。
この日は3枚のマンタがやってきてくれ、大興奮でした。
お天気も良かったので、帰りの船の中から満天の星が見え、天の川もくっきりと見えて2度おいしい体験ができました。
日本語ガイドの方にも親切にしていただけて、感謝しています。
またハワイ島に行った際には参加したいです。
ただ、1回目に一緒に参加した友人2人はひどく船酔いしてしまったのでリトライは断念しました。
マンタ待ちで、船上待機の際はかなり気持ち悪く船が揺れますので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだ方が良いと思います。

Reviewed by: りらっつま

It takes about 30 minutes by boat from the port to Manta Point while enjoying the sunset. We lowered LED surfboards around the point to attract plankton and the manta rays that feed on them... and they appeared! After confirming their presence, we entered the water and snorkeled around the surfboards to observe the mantas. They also lent us noodles (floating poles), and we spent about 45 minutes in the water. It was an exhilarating experience to see two mantas rolling right in front of us! On the way back to the port after snorkeling, it can be chilly with just a swimsuit due to the wind. It was a good decision to rent a wetsuit, even though there was an additional fee.

The waves were high, but... 波が高かったけど〜

Reviewed by: YUKIKO

We participated in the tour starting at 2:00 PM. The morning tour is about $50 more expensive and includes breakfast and lunch, and if you want transportation included, it’s an additional $20. Since we went by rental car, it cost us about $100 each. I’ve been on lunch-inclusive tours a few times, but I don’t have a great impression of meals prepared on the boat! I think the morning tours attract more customers due to the wave height, but the snorkeling spots are calm, so it’s reassuring. This tour definitely requires English proficiency; if you're not confident, having a Japanese guide is a safer option. Everything on the boat is in English, including explanations and safety instructions, so you need to pay attention to avoid danger! We didn’t see any dolphins, but there were plenty of fish!

午後便で、14:00時からのツアーに参加、午前中のツアーは朝食とランチが付いて50ドル程高くなり、送迎付きだと 更に20ドル程高くなります、私達は、レンタカーで行ったので、一人100ドル程、ランチ付きのツアーは何回か行きましたが、所詮 舟の中で作る食事、あまり良いイメージがありませんので!午前にお客が偏るのは、やはり 波に高さだと思いますが、シュノーケルをするスポットは、波が無いので安心できます、このツアーは英語力は絶対必要で、自信の無い方は、日本語ガイド付きが安心です、船内は全て英語、説明 注意などなど、ちゃんと聞かないと、危険なので!イルカはみれませんでしたが、魚はたくさんいましたよ〜

Swimming with wild dolphins was an absolutely amazing experience! 野生のイルカと一緒に泳げて、最高に楽しかったです!

Reviewed by: メタボの熊

I came to the Big Island of Hawaii for the first time with three beautiful single women from Japan. Since all of us, including myself, love the ocean, we were determined to go snorkeling while in Hawaii. Because this was a quick trip, I wanted to enjoy the ocean efficiently without renting a car, so I looked for snorkeling tours and found this tour to swim with wild dolphins.

On the day of the tour, the weather was great, and we had a guide who was well-versed in the ocean and dolphin ecology. We had a wonderful time swimming with many dolphins. On our way out to sea, we encountered a very rare pilot whale, which was an exciting memory for all of us.

I definitely want to repeat this experience when I go back to the Big Island!

日本から独身の美女3人を引き連れて、初めてハワイ島に遊びに来ました。自分を含めて全員海が大好きなので、ハワイ島に来たら絶対にスノーケルをしようと思っていました。今回は弾丸旅行だったこともあり、レンタカーを借りずに効率的に海遊びをしたいと考え、ベルトラさんのスノーケリングツアーを探して、目に留まったのがこの野生のイルカと泳ぐツアーでした。

当日はお天気も良く、海やイルカの生態を知り尽くしているガイドさんにアテンドしていただき、本当にたくさんのイルカとともに楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。船で沖まで出る途中に、すごくレアなゴンドウクジラに遭遇して、みんなで興奮したのも良い思い出になりました。

Dolphin イルカ

Reviewed by: よこやま あきこ

I was thrilled by the number of dolphins that exceeded my expectations.

The day we participated was incredibly lucky; since it was just my husband and me, we had a private tour and were able to set sail early. Within about five minutes of departure, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and we hardly moved the boat at all. We were able to stay in the water and watch the dolphins for a long time.

I was impressed by Daisuke and Kevin, who were in charge that day. Their overflowing love for the dolphins and their professionalism in entertaining the guests were truly remarkable.

There are many dolphin tours available, but I absolutely recommend the Aloha Kona Tour.

予想を上回るイルカの数に大興奮しました。

私たちが参加した日は、とてもラッキーな日で、主人と2人で貸切だったこともあり、早く出航することができたので、出航して5分ほどでイルカの群れに遭遇し、ボートで移動することはほとんどなく、ずっと海に入ってイルカを見ることができました。

It was a comfortable and enjoyable cruising and snorkeling experience. 快適で楽しいクルージング&シュノーケリングでした

Reviewed by: たけしー

Before participating, I had some concerns…
- Would the restrooms be cramped and dirty?
- Would it be uncomfortable on the boat?

There were no problems at all!
The restrooms were about the size of those in a one-room apartment in Tokyo, and there were two of them, making them very easy to use.
The boat was spacious, and the distance between guests was just right.

About 30 minutes after departure, we had our first cruising and breakfast!
The sea was beautiful, and we went snorkeling in a spot where the depth was about 12 to 15 meters.
It was my first time snorkeling in a place where I couldn't touch the bottom, so I was a bit nervous.
For breakfast, there was a small buffet with bread, omelet, and yogurt loaded with fruits. The fruits were so delicious that I had seconds.

After staying there for about 40 minutes, we moved to the second snorkeling point for more snorkeling and lunch.
We even encountered sea turtles!!
For lunch, we had hamburgers, and we could choose our own toppings. It was incredibly delicious, and I was thrilled.

On the way back, we cruised under a completely clear blue sky and arrived on time.

I want to go again!

参加する前に心配だった点…
・トイレは狭くて汚くないか?
・船の上は窮屈じゃないか?

船の上も広く、他のお客さんとの距離も適度でした。

出発してから30分位いどうして最初のクルージング&朝食!
海がきれいで底までが12~15mくらいのところでシュノーケリングをしました。
足が届かないところでのシュノーケリングは初めてだったのでドキドキしました。

We participated in a snorkeling tour with our 5-year-old child. We often sign up for snorkeling tours when traveling, but this was our first time on a large boat, as we usually take speedboats.

Since the meeting point was local, we needed to park our rental car at the tour company's parking lot, but we were a bit confused about the location, so be careful with that. (It takes just under 50 minutes from Waikoloa.)

In this tour, we were the only Japanese participants, and the rest were Westerners, but they spoke in quite clear English, so we could get the gist of things from the atmosphere. Right after departure, there was a breakfast buffet, and soft drinks were available for free if you asked at the bar counter; our child enjoyed drinking juice. The waves were calm, so there was no spilling of drinks, and the stability was definitely different.

The snorkeling spot was quite deep (about 10 meters?), but the water was very clear, allowing us to see the bottom. While we weren't surrounded by a large number of tropical fish like at the Great Barrier Reef, we did encounter some colorful fish, which was enjoyable. The boat also had a slide and a diving board, but we didn't challenge ourselves with those... (The Westerners were diving in a lot, though!)

For lunch, we had handmade hamburgers. We could choose our own patties, buns, and vegetables to assemble our burgers. True to American style, the patties were very good and delicious, and drinks were always available, making for a comfortable and relaxing experience.

If you have small children, many snorkeling tours on the Big Island have age restrictions, often requiring participants to be 12 years or older, but this one was fine. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any dolphins, but it was a very enjoyable memory!

5歳の子供を連れてシュノーケルツアーに参加。よく旅行先ではシュノーケルツアーを申し込んでますが、今までスピードボートばかりで、今回のような大型船は初めてでした。
現地集合のため、レンタカーを催行会社の駐車場に停める必要があるのですが場所がよくわからず戸惑ってしまいましたので、かなり注意です。(ワイコロアからだと50分弱かかります)

このツアーで日本人は私たちのみで残りは欧米人しかいませんでしたが、かなりクリアな英語で話してくれるので雰囲気で内容は察せそうです。出航後すぐに朝食のビュッフェがあり、ソフトドリンクはバーカウンターの方に頼めばフリーで出してくれますし、子供はジュースを好んで飲んでいました。波も穏やかだったせいかドリンクが零れるような揺れもなく、安定感はやはり違いますね。

シュノーケルスポットは水深は深い(10m弱くらいかな?)ですがかなり海の透明度が高く、底が見えます。グレートバリアリーフのような大量の熱帯魚に囲まれることはありませんが、カラフルな魚には割と出会えるので楽しめるかと。
船にはスライダーや飛び込み台もありますが、さすがにこちらは挑戦せず…(欧米人の方はめっちゃ飛び込んでました笑)
昼食は今はハンドメイドのハンバーガーです。パティやバンズ、野菜など、自分で取って組み合わせて食べるスタイルです。さすがはアメリカ、パティの肉感がとても良く美味しく頂けましたし、常時飲み物は頂けるので、快適に寛いで過ごすことが出来ました。


小さいお子さん連れだとハワイ島のシュノーケルツアーは12歳から等の年齢制限があるものも多く参加出来ないこともありますが、こちらは大丈夫です。
私たちはイルカには残念ながら会えませんでしたが、とても楽しい思い出となりました!

I was able to meet many dolphins. 沢山のイルカに会えました

Reviewed by: もりちゃん

I think it took about 40 minutes from departure to see the dolphins. The day before, it took an hour and a half, so we were able to see the dolphins really quickly.

According to the guide, there were a lot of dolphins today—maybe around 200? They kept coming one after another, which was surprising!

Once we got into the water, we could hear the dolphins' sounds very clearly.

Thank you for an amazing experience!

出港してからイルカに会えるまで約40分ぐらいだったと思います。前日は1時間半かかったとの事だったのですごく早くイルカに会えました。

ガイドさん曰く今日はすごい沢山のイルカがいるよ〜と、200頭とかいたのかな⁇次から次へとイルカがやって来てビックリ!

海に入るとイルカの鳴き声がすごく聴こえてました。

最高に素敵な体験をありがとうござます。

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

Best trip.

Reviewed by: Gcw

One of the best trips we have been on. JEFF was excellent both in the way he described the Island, his humour and knowledge.
Overall this created a memory that will last a life time.
We should also say that this trip would never have existed without pele. It made us realise how much we owe to nature and how much we take it for granted.

Chasing dolphins while snorkeling is hard work! バンドウイルカ追っかけシュノーケリングハードワーク!

Reviewed by: もっとさん

I participated in dolphin snorkeling for the first time on the Big Island of Hawaii. I thought it would be a diving boat, but it turned out to be a Zodiac. The captain and the navigator were humorous and taught us a lot. It seemed that other boats were also searching for dolphins, but most of them couldn't find any, and the main Spinner Dolphins were elusive. However, we did spot the endangered Hawaiian monk seal along the way! After that, we zoomed around in the Zodiac, holding on tight, and discovered a pod of bottlenose dolphins! Unlike the Spinner Dolphins, they don't approach humans, so when we got close, they would dive away. Thanks to the captain's determination, we were able to see about six of them up close, which was fantastic!!!

However, preparing and challenging myself multiple times was tough for a guy over 50.

初めてハワイ島でイルカシュノーケリングへ参加しました。
ダイビングの時に載る船かな~と思っていたらゾディアックということでした。とにかく船長にナビゲーターの方がユーモラスで色々と教えてくれました。今回は他の船もイルカを探していたようですがほとんどの船がイルカに会えずメインのSpinner Dolphinは見つからず、途中絶滅危惧種のハワイアンモンクシールを発見!その後もゾディアックでガンガン飛ばして落ちないようにつかまっているうちにバンドウイルカの親子の群れを発見!でも、Spinner Dolphinと違って人間に寄ってこないため近づくと潜ってしまいます。そこを船長の根性で無事6頭ほど間近で見ることができてよかった!!!

でも、何度も準備してチャレンジは50過ぎの親父にはきつかった~~。

Kealakekua Bay Guided Kayak & Captain Cook Snorkel Tour - Adventures In Paradise

Fantastic Day!!

Reviewed by: S.Ives

Our Kayak and Snorkel tour was unbelievable! We saw spinner dolphins up close while we kayaked in a beautiful bay! They came up quite close to our kayak...we loved it soooo much! We then went over to the snorkel area near the Captain Cook memorial site. The reef is healthy and the colourful fish are everywhere! Our guide was Jay who was easy going and very pleasant and welcoming! I highly recommend this tour! I will for sure be back in the future!

We were blessed with good weather. 天気に恵まれました

Reviewed by: ハワイ初心者

The weather was great, and I was lucky to meet a lot of dolphins! Since the waves were strong, I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're worried about seasickness. I took some and was totally fine. It seems that the timing of encounters depends on luck, so it’s best to schedule with some extra time.

天候、イルカさんの気分に恵まれ、たくさんのイルカさんに会えました!波が強かったので、船酔いや波酔いが心配な場合は酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。自分は酔い止めを飲んで全然大丈夫でした。遭遇のタイミングは運によるらしいので、時間に余裕を持ってスケジューリングしといたほうが良さそうと思います。

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

It was fun, like a cruise! クルーズみたいで楽しかった!

Reviewed by: Aik

I was the only Japanese person, but the staff took photos for me, and other guests took photos as well, which was fun.

I was often asked how I found this tour.

There were slides, and they had floaties and other equipment ready, which made me feel very secure. It seems you can also drink alcohol if you pay extra.
For breakfast, there were bread, muffins, fruits, and scrambled eggs? For lunch, there were hamburgers and pasta.

The taste was okay.

You can have a great time even alone.

日本人はわたしだけでしたが、スタッフの人が写真を撮ってくれたり、お客さんが写真を撮ってくれたりして楽しかった。

やたら、どうやってこのツアーを見つけたの?みたいなことを聞かれてた。

滑り台があったり、浮き輪などもしっかり準備されていて、とても安心できました。お金を払えばお酒も飲めるようです。
朝食はパン、マフィン、フルーツ、卵焼き?、飲み物、お昼はハンバーガーとパスタ。

味はまぁまぁかな?

1人でも十分楽しめます。

I was so thrilled to encounter the dolphins during my first snorkeling experience. It was a mystical and incredibly beautiful experience that I can't put into words. Please be sure to try it out. Thank you, Daisuke, for your guidance. I think we were a bit of a handful, but we had a great time. I had a very good experience there. Everyone, please participate. If I go to the Big Island, I want to join again. Daisuke, you'll be fine at Kansai Airport. Have fun in Norway!

初めてのシュノーケリングで、めっちゃイルカちゃん達に、出逢えて感激です。神秘的で、言葉にできないほど、美しい経験が出来ました。是非、体感して下さい。インストラクターの大輔君ありがとうございました。。。私達夫婦足手まといやったと思うけど、すごい楽しませて頂きました。I had a very good experience there. 皆さん是非参加して下さい。ハワイ島に行ったら、また参加したいです。大輔君、関空大丈夫よん。ノルウェーで楽しんで来て下さい。

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

First parasailing 初パラセーリング

Reviewed by: aaa

I went parasailing for the first time! Instead of sitting in a chair, you are secured with lots of ropes and go up. You float up there for about 10 minutes. The hardware creaked, which added to the thrill, but it was so much fun! It says to bring motion sickness medication, and since the swaying can be intense and you're on the boat the whole time while others are floating, I recommend taking it if you're prone to motion sickness!

始めてパラセーリングをしました!
椅子に座るのではなく、たくさんの紐で安定させて上に行きます。上で浮いているのは10分ほどです。金具がギシギシ言うのでスリル満点でしたが、とっても楽しかったです!
持ち物に酔い止めと書いてありますが、揺れが激しいのと、他の方が浮いてる時はずっと船に乗っているので、酔いやすい方は飲むことをお勧めします!
