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.

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.

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.
Very good value for the money.

This was the most enjoyable tour I've ever experienced for activities on the Big Island. I was moved by the sight of manta rays doing backflips underwater and sucking in plankton up close. This tour is one that I would definitely do again for the incredible experience it offers. I highly recommend it. My whole family was very happy as well.

We challenged the deluxe 150 meters with three women! Since we could refer to the experience of foreign siblings who went before us, we had no worries. The wind was calm, and we were able to enjoy the best location. It became a wonderful memory.
I should add that the woman at the hotel reception did not understand Japanese at all, which made things quite difficult. It took a while at the reception. This was a bit disappointing. However, once the parasailing started, we were able to have a great time!
女性3名でデラックス150メートルに挑戦いたしました! 私達より先にやられた外人のご姉弟の様子を参考に出来たので、不安はありませんでした。

You can see manta rays really up close. The manta rays illuminated by blue light cross right in front of you over and over again. This was a wonderful experience. Alicia, who speaks Japanese well, explained everything clearly, so both my middle school daughter and us in our late forties enjoyed it without any worries.
As a note, if you're not confident in swimming, don't hesitate to borrow a life jacket (free of charge). If you check the water temperature and feel it's even a little cold, you should rent a wetsuit for a fee. If you're prone to seasickness, be sure to take motion sickness medication.
We zoomed to the spot where the manta rays are located by boat, and since we were in the night sea for 40 minutes, it was quite chilly in mid-June. They don't provide a tutorial on how to use the snorkel, so if it's your first time, it's better to ask how to use it once you receive it. They will talk about not touching the manta rays and safety precautions before entering the water, so make sure to follow those instructions.
After starting the snorkeling, they check on you multiple times asking, "Are you okay?" So if you feel uncomfortable, it's better to get back on the boat. It's a wonderful experience, so feel free to ask for assistance, and enjoy it while considering your own stamina and condition.
マンタが本当にすぐ近くで見られます。青い光に照らされたマンタが目の前を何度も何度も横切ります。
これは素晴らしい経験でした。
日本語の上手なアリシアちゃんがきちんと説明をしてくれたので、中学生の娘もアラフィフの私たちもなんの不安もなく楽しめました。
注意点としては、泳ぎに自信がないなら迷わずライフジャケット(無料)を借りること。水温を確認して少しでも冷たいと思ったら有料のウェットスーツは借りること。船酔いの恐れがある人は酔い止めを必ず飲むこと
マンタのいるスポットまでボートで飛ばしますし、40分間夜の海に浸っているので、6月半ばではかなり冷えました。
シュノーケルの使い方は講習的なことはやってくれません。初体験の方は渡されたらどう使うかを聞いたほうが良いです。
海に入る前にマンタを触らないことや態勢の注意点を話してくれるのできちんと守りましょう。
シュノーケルを始めた後、途中で「大丈夫?」と何度も声かけしてくれるので、辛いと思ったらボートに上がったほうが良いです。
せっかくの素敵な体験です。声をかければ対応してくれるので、自分の体力や体調と相談しながら楽しんでください。

Wow, I was surprised when a real manta ray came towards me with its mouth open! It gracefully swam by, flipping over to show its white belly. There were fish similar to horse mackerel swimming right next to me, and the water was so clear that I could see snake-like fish slithering along the seabed. I definitely recommend enjoying the natural beauty of the Big Island of Hawaii. When a manta ray appears, you should jump in the water and stay underwater for about 30 minutes in a horizontal position. There are occasionally cold currents, so it's better to rent a wetsuit. I think it would be tough to participate on a full stomach since the boat sways when it stops.
いゃぁ〜、本物のマンタが口を開けてこっちに向かって来たときにはビックリしました‼️ (口は閉じれるのか?)目の前で体を反転させ腹の白い部分を見せて、優雅に泳いでました。
鯵に似た魚もすぐ側を泳いでいて、海底では海へびのような魚もニョロニョロしているのがわかるくらいの透明度が高い海です。
ハワイ島の自然を是非楽しんでほしいですね。
マンタが現れたら入水し、30分は水中でケノビ状態でいます。時たま冷たい流れがあるので、ウエットスーツは借りた方がいいです。 停船すると波でゆれるので、お腹いっぱいで参加するのはキツイと思います。

With the help of the friendly Daisuke and Kevin, as well as the slightly shy but cheerful captain, we headed out to sea! At first, I was a bit nervous, but when we encountered dolphins, my excitement grew more and more. Watching Daisuke swim joyfully with the dolphins made me want to join in, but since I couldn't dive, it was impossible. However, I was truly moved to see the dolphins up close. Although I shouldn't reach out to touch them, they were so close that it felt like I could. The fun time flew by in an instant. The anxiety I felt before participating turned into smiles.

I’ve been to a few of these spots before but never understood them as I do now and that’s all from our great guide.

Above all, we could feel the love that our guide, Daisuke, had for the dolphins. Thanks to him, we were able to swim with the dolphins together as a couple, creating the best memories. Thank you very much.

I participated in this tour for my honeymoon trip. There were other similar tours available, but I chose this one for three reasons: 1. a 95% chance of encountering dolphins, 2. many repeat customers, and most importantly, 3. it's suitable even for those who are not good swimmers!
If you're someone who wants to see dolphins but is a bit hesitant about swimming, I highly recommend this tour!
Even for someone like me who struggles with swimming, the guide provided excellent support, allowing me to enjoy the experience without worry. It was truly fun!
The guide was very knowledgeable about dolphins, and you could really feel the connection they had with them. I couldn't help but think that they might have been a dolphin in a past life! (laughs)

During my stay on the Big Island this time, I had to change my original plans due to the eruption of Kilauea volcano, but the manta night snorkeling I was able to fit in became my best memory.
The boat moves forward, chasing the sunset sinking into the horizon from the harbor. It's a large rubber boat, so we straddle the edge and enjoy the feeling of being on a banana boat. After about 10 minutes, we arrive at the snorkeling point.
There is a bright light installed under a large surfboard-shaped float, and while holding on, we waited… and after about 4 or 5 minutes, they came! Mantas started gathering around us! They were gracefully gliding and feeding right in front of us. We had to be careful not to bump into them as they were so close that we could see inside their mouths and gills clearly.
There were nearly 10 individuals. Out of the 40 minutes we spent underwater, 30 minutes were filled with a manta ballet show. I have seen mantas while diving before, but the proximity and density were on a completely different level. It was truly a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it!
今回のハワイ島滞在は、キラウエア火山の噴火で当初の予定を変更せざるおえなかったのですが、開いた時間に入れたマンタナイトシュノーケリングが一番の思い出になりました。
港から水平線に沈むサンセットを追いかけるように船は進みます。大きなゴムボートなので船縁にまたがり、バナナボート気分を楽しむこと10分程でポイントに着きます。
大きなサーフボード状の浮きの裏に明るいライトが設置してあり、つかまりながら待っていると…4,5分程で来ました来ましたマンタが集まってきました!
目の前でくるりくるりと舞いながら補食していました。あまりにも近くでマンタにぶつからないように注意が必要なほどで、口の中やエラの中までしっかり見えました。
個体数は10枚近くでしょうか。水中にいた40分のうち30分はマンタ乱舞ショーでした。
今までダイビングでマンタを見た事もありますが、近さと密度が段違いです。本当に良い経験になりました。オススメです!

It was a cloudy day... I arrived early and parked the rental car in the hotel parking lot to check in. There was a counter outside the hotel and a store located a bit deeper inside, which was a little confusing. When the time came, I boarded a contact boat with about 20 participants, including several Japanese people, and in a few minutes, we reached the submarine.
We quickly boarded and began our dive... I enjoyed about 40 minutes while watching the coral and the fish swimming around. We dove down to about 100 feet, or 30 meters, but it felt a bit dark, possibly due to the cloudy sky, and I felt a greater distance from the fish than I expected. It might have been more beautiful if it had been sunny.
At the counter, they put a sticker on the parking ticket to cover the fee. When I tried to pay with my card, it didn’t recognize it, and I panicked a bit as several cars lined up behind me, but I called and they opened it for me, so it all worked out.
当日は曇り空…早めに到着しホテルの駐車場にレンタカーを止めて受付。 ホテルの外のカウンターとホテル内の少し奥にある店舗があり、少し戸惑いました。 時間になると日本人数名を含む20名ほどの参加者と共に連絡用の船に乗り込み数分で潜水艦へ。
早速乗り込み潜水開始…サンゴやそこを泳ぐ魚を見ながら40分程楽しみました。100フィート、30メートル程まで潜りましたが、曇り空のせいか若干暗く感じたのと思っていたより魚と距離感を感じました。 晴れていればもっと綺麗だったのかもしれません。
カウンターで駐車券にステッカーを貼ってくれて料金をカバーしてくれます。2ドル足りずにカード支払いしようとしたらカードを認識せず…後ろに数台並び焦りましたが、電話して開けてもらい事なきを得ました。

Two people in their 60s who don't usually exercise. Although I felt relieved to see other participants around the same age, the first time entering the water was tough and terrifying, and I quickly got back on the boat.

The guide named us after people who were young long ago. I received plenty of support and had a great time, for which I am grateful. The female captain also gave us lots of encouragement.

This was my first experience like this. Being rocked by the boat while watching the sunset and heading to a spot where manta rays are found was incredible. As it got darker and the sun set, I was a bit worried about the scary dark color of the sea, but when we arrived at the manta ray spot, there were many other tour boats with lights, so it was fine. Once we got into the water, after a while, the manta rays came and performed flips right next to us, providing an amazing experience. I definitely want to go see the manta rays again.
こんな体験は初めてです。船にゆられて、夕日を見ながらマンタのいる場所まで行くなんて。だんだん暗くなって夕日が落ちると怖い暗い海の色にちょっと心配でしたが、マンタの場所に来ると他のツアーの船も一杯で明かりもあったので大丈夫でした。そして海に入ると暫くしたら、マンタがやってきて何度も何度もスレスレに宙返りをしながらサービス満点でした。またマンタに会いに行きたいと思いました

I was moved when I saw the manta ray right in front of me. However, holding onto the glass boat and floating in the sea for a long time was quite tiring. It gets pretty cold at night. It's definitely better to rent a wetsuit, and when you return to the boat and take off the wetsuit, it gets quite chilly, so having a 100 yen store raincoat or a Uniqlo down jacket would be helpful.

ずっと海に浮いてるのも結構疲れた。夜なので結構寒いです。ウエットスーツは必ず借りた方が良いし船に戻ってウエットスーツを脱ぐとかなり冷えるので
100均のレインコート、ユニクロのダウン等があると助かります
Thank you for participating.
We are very pleased to hear that you were moved by seeing the manta rays in person.
Hawaii can get chilly at night, so we recommend that all participants bring warm clothing.
Thank you for your advice!

ハワイは夜になると冷えてきますので、ご参加者の皆様には防寒具をお持ちになることをお勧めします。

Tour actually worked out better than expected. The tour vans are nice and new, the guides are nice and knowledgeable. You go right to the telescope summit and watch the sunrise followed by a great star gazing experience.
The lasagna ain't great but bring snacks and you'll have a great time

Had an amazing time on the manta ray snorkel. Definitely worth it. The manta rays get within inches from you, and the experience is unlike anything else. Crew and boat were also awesome. Ended up loving the snorkeling experience so much we went out on a day trip a day later which was also amazing!
Aloha and thank you for sharing your experience. We look forward to seeing you next time you visit the Big Island.
