野生のイルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングツアー <朝食・昼食付き>

Is it a coincidence that we can see dolphins? イルカが見れるのは偶然?

Reviewed by: たーくんママ

We were lucky enough to see dolphins by chance, but I felt that encountering them depends on luck since we didn't forcefully search for or chase them. The boat swayed, but it was a large vessel, so I felt safe. The restrooms were clean, and the staff members were kind (they can communicate in English).

私たちは偶然イルカを見ることができましたが、無理にイルカを探したり追いかけたりすることをしないので、イルカに遭遇できるかは運次第かな?と感じました。
船は揺れますが、大きな船なので安心でした。トイレもキレイで、スタッフの方々も親切でした。(英語対応ですが)

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

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。

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Experience of a Lifetime!

Reviewed by: Beachin' Besties

If you have to choose one paid activity/tour to do on the Big Island, my friends and I definitely recommend the Mauna Kea Summit and Stargazing tour! It was an experience of a lifetime! From the AMAZING views from sunset to stargazing to the amazing, informative and friendly staff, I would definitely do this tour again, if only for the views!

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー ボイジャーズ・オブ・ザ・パシフィック(ロイヤルコナリゾート内)<月・火・水・金催行/ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

Wonderful Hawaiian night. 素晴らしいハワイアンナイト

Reviewed by: ツインズパパ

On August 1st, I participated with six people, including two children. I think there is a need for improvement in guiding to the seats, but the buffet food was delicious, and the luau show was enjoyable with various performances like hula dancing and fire shows. I thought three hours from 5 PM to 8 PM would be long, but with the meal, the show, and the sunset along with the natural setting, I was able to enjoy it without getting bored.

8月1日に子供2人を含め6人で参加しました。
座席までの誘導に改善が必要かと思いますが、ブッフェの料理もおいしくルアウショーもフラダンスやファイヤーショーなどいろいろな構成があり楽しかったです。
5時から8時までの3時間で長いかと思いましたが、食事・ショーそしてサンセットと自然の演出もあり飽きずに楽しめました。

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。

About 10 minutes after departing from Kona, we encountered dolphins.
After about 20 minutes, we proceeded to the diving point.
We played with colorful fish, slides, and inflatable rings that delighted the kids.
I was satisfied to see my child, who was not fond of deep water, happily swimming without any signs of anxiety.

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

Manta ray swim

Reviewed by: Jessica

The people at sea paradise were truly outstanding. They were professional, fun, and extremely accommodating. Let me preface this review by saying that I suffer from extreme motion sickness and had I not been heavily medicated then this would've been a truly awful experience, of course this was no fault of the crew, the waters are just that rough. The crew Heather and Troy and the captain did their absolute best to make me feel better, while entertaining my six year old daughter. We saw tons of mantas and they barrel roll right under you almost touching you. Truly a remarkable experience. Once we decided we had enough the crew got us back to the shore as quickly as possible as they could tell I was in distress. I highly recommend this experience, just be aware that you will need every form of motion sickness prevention if that's a concern. I couldn't be more pleased with the crew of sea paradise.

Reply from activity provider

Aloha and Mahalo for taking the time to review your experience. We are happy you had a great time and you took the precautions you needed for your motion sickness. The waters in Kona are generally flat and the calmest of the islands, however once in awhile we do get a swell. Happy the mantas put on their beautiful performance to keep you at ease. A Hoi Hou and Aloha!

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。

Sacred Pu’uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park & Kona Farms Guided Tour

Wonderful tour around the Big Island

Reviewed by: Deborah

We had a wonderful day touring historic and sacred sites as well as Greenwell Farms and Big Island Bees. Our guide, Kawika, was highly knowledgeable about the areas visited and wove together an interesting narrative of the traditions, the myths, and the historical facts of Hawai’i. His personality fit very well with the people in our group, so it was enjoyable and personable as well. Greenwell Farms and Big Island Bees were beautiful and I bought coffee and honey to take home with me. I recommend this tour. We did a half day, but a full day with Kawika would be just as informative and entertaining.

It was an amazing experience ! Like an underwater ballet with a bit of adrenaline because even you know that rays are completely harmless and gentle you are still swimming in the middle of the ocean at night .There were at least 25 of them that night passing sometimes within an inch of our biddies, it felt like gentle caressing. I think it was my favorite activity and we did practically everything there is to be done on the Island (from extreme to leisure ) Definitely recomend it
