ハワイ島 アトランティス潜水艦　ハワイの海底アドベンチャー ＜日本語オーディオガイド＞　

First day in Hawaii Island ハワイ島初日

Reviewed by: sat

I participated because I am interested in submarines. It felt like an artificial landscape, and I didn't see many fish, but the experience of diving was interesting. I learned that even in shallow waters around the Big Island of Hawaii, there are reefs and many beautiful fish, so I plan to enjoy the natural ocean next time.

潜水艦に興味があって参加しました。
人工的な景色に感じられ、魚はあまり見られませんでしたが、潜っていく様子は面白いものでした。
ハワイ島の海では浅瀬でも岩礁があり、美しくたくさんの魚が見られることが分かったので、次回は自然の海を堪能しようと思います。

プライベートチャーター　ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング+イルカウォッチングツアー！GoProレンタルあり＜午前／日本語ガイド＞

I saw dolphins! イルカ見られました！

Reviewed by: sat

At first, I wasn't used to snorkeling or swimming, and I made a lot of splashing sounds, which limited my visibility, making it difficult to see the pod of dolphins swimming by. Once I got the hang of it, I was finally able to see the dolphins pass by, and it was an emotional experience. The key is to enter the water quietly, just float (don't swim), and look around curiously underwater.

最初はシュノーケリングや泳ぐことになれず、
バシャバシャと水音を立て、視野もせまく
泳いでやって来ているイルカの群れをなかなか見る事ができませんでした。
慣れてきたころ、ようやくイルカの群れが通り過ぎていくのを見ることができ、感動しました。
入水は静かに、浮かんでればよい（泳がない）、水中キョロキョロ見回すことがポイントです。

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＞

You have plenty of time. Make sure to prepare well with motion sickness medication and measures against the cold. 時間たっぷりあります。酔い止め・寒さ対策など準備はしっかりと～

Reviewed by: たまこ

I stayed at the King Kamehameha Hotel right in front of Kailua Pier, so it was easy to walk there for the 7:30 AM meeting. Once on the boat, there was a buffet area with bread and fruit, and coffee and water were also available for free.

After about 40 to 50 minutes of traveling along the bay, they provided explanations about various buildings and scenery, all in English. I just enjoyed the atmosphere. The Kanoa II is a large catamaran, but the swaying in the open sea was quite significant. There were about 40 passengers, and it seemed that around 20% of them looked a bit green. I recommend taking motion sickness medication about an hour before boarding.

When we arrived at the snorkeling point, all passengers were gathered on the first floor for about 10 minutes of safety instructions, also in English. They mentioned that in case of an emergency, the horn would sound five times, so we should return to the boat immediately, not to stand on the coral, and not to stray too far from the boat. I think as long as you don't act too differently from those around you, you'll be fine. The snorkeling point is about 15 meters deep and incredibly clear and beautiful. There are quite a few fish, but the water is cold! They seem to rent out wetsuits for a fee, so if you're not confident, it might be a good idea to borrow one. I gave up after about 20 minutes of swimming due to the cold and the waves, and returned to the boat early. The boat stays here for about an hour, and it might be tough for those who are sensitive to motion.

For lunch, the staff grilled hamburgers and vegetables on the spot, and you can make your own cheeseburger at the buffet. It was quite delicious! If you're not feeling seasick, definitely give it a try (laughs).

On the way back, it takes about another hour to return to Kailua Pier.

The boat is large and has a flushing toilet, which someone mentioned is much cleaner than many public restrooms. There’s a bar area, and soft drinks seem to be free. The staff comes around to each table to ask if you need any drinks. Smoothies and cocktails appear to be for a fee.

Among the participants, we were the only Japanese, but the handsome and beautiful staff frequently checked on us, so we were able to relax without worry. The sea water is cold, but the wind on the way back is also quite chilly. If you're in a wet swimsuit, you're bound to catch a cold. I recommend bringing something to wear over it, like a windbreaker.

カイルア桟橋の目の前のキングカメハメハホテルに泊まっていたので、朝7時半の集合も何の苦もなく歩いて行けました。
船に乗り込むと、ビュッフェコーナーにパンとフルーツが置いてあり、コーヒーやお水も含め、取り放題です。
出発して40分～50分ほど、湾に沿って移動をし、その間いろんな建造物や風景の説明をしてくれるのですが、すべて英語です。雰囲気だけ楽しみました。
カノアII号は大きな双頭船ですが、外洋の揺れはかなり大きく、乗客は40名ほどいたでしょうか、そのうち2割ほどはグロッキーになっていたように見えました。乗船する1時間ほど前には酔い止めをしっかり飲んで参加されることをお勧めします。

シュノーケリングポイントに着くと、乗客全員が1階に集められ、注意事項の説明が10分ほどあります。これもすべて英語です。
緊急の時はホーンを5回鳴らすからすぐに船に戻ってね、サンゴの上には立たないでね、船からあまり離れないでね、後いろいろ言ってたと思うのですが、まぁ周りの人とあまり異なる行動をしなければOKかと思います。
シュノーケリングポイントは、深さ15メートルぐらいあるでしょうか。さすがに澄んでいてとてもキレイです。お魚もそこそこいます。ただ、水が冷たい！！
有料でウェットスーツも貸し出しているようなので、自信のない方は借りた方がいいかも。私も20分ほど泳いで寒さと波の高さにギブアップです。早々に船に引き上げました。
船はここで1時間ほど停泊しています。ずっと揺れてますのでつらい人にはつらいかも。

ランチはスタッフがその場で焼いてくれたハンバーグや野菜がビュッフェコーナーに並び、自分でチーズバーガーを作って食べます。かなり美味しかったですよ！酔ってなければぜひ召し上がってください（笑）。

そして帰りはまた小一時間ほどかけてカイルア桟橋に戻る感じです。

船は大きくてトイレも水洗、どなたかが書いていましたがそんじょそこらのトイレよりよっぽどキレイです。
バーコーナーがあって、ソフトドリンクは無料のようです。スタッフが各テーブルを回って飲み物いらないか？と聞きに来てくれます。スムージーやカクテルは有料のようです。

参加者のうち、日本人は私達だけでしたが、美男美女のスタッフがしょっちゅう様子を見に来てくれるので、気にせず過ごせました。
海の水も冷たいですが、行き帰りの風もかなり寒いです。濡れたままの水着だと漏れなく風邪をひきそうです。ウィンドブレーカーなど、上に羽織るものを持参される事をお勧めします。

There were no whales, but... クジラはいなかったけれど…

Reviewed by: こはむ

I signed up at the last minute the night before. The meeting place, Kailua Pier, is right next to the King Kamehameha Hotel, so it's very easy to find. I was staying at the Sheraton, so I just took the trolley back and forth. During the tour, they worked hard to find whales, but it seems that the sudden warm weather was the reason we couldn't see any. However, I was able to see dolphins jumping, and on the way back, I received a free ticket valid for the next few years. During the cruise, drinks and snacks were provided, and all the staff were friendly, so I was personally satisfied. I don't think many people get seasick, but the front of the boat can be a bit shaky, and you might get splashed, so be careful.

前日の夜にギリギリで申し込みました。集合場所のカイルアピアは、キングカメハメハ ホテルの隣なので、非常に分かりやすいです。私はシェラトンに宿泊していたので、ひたすらトロリーに乗って往復しました。ツアーでは、一生懸命クジラを探してくれていましたが、急に暖かくなったことが原因のようで、観ることは出来ませんでした。しかし、イルカの飛び跳ねる様を観ることができた上、帰りの際に、今後数年有効の次回無料チケットを頂けました。クルーズ中には、飲み物やスナックが提供され、スタッフが皆フレンドリーでしたので、個人的には満足です。船酔いする人はあまりいないと思いますが、先頭は揺れがあり、水飛沫が掛かることがあるので注意が必要です。

Tori-chan, the manta rays in Hawaii Island are amazing! とりちゃん、ハワイ島、マンタ最高‼︎

Reviewed by: マサエ

Tori-chan (the Japanese instructor) provided transportation, and we had a great time in the car. I was invited multiple times by Tori-chan to participate, but I only joined as an observer, which I really regret. My daughter and son had the best experience, seeing manta rays up close for 45 minutes, including one manta that was injured and another that swam in circles four times. Next time, I plan to go to the Big Island to see the manta rays up close and meet Tori-chan again! (^O^)

とりちゃん(日本人のインストラクター)が送迎もしていただき楽しく車の中で過ごせました。
私は、とりちゃんから「参加したら？」と何度も誘ってもらいましたが見学だけの参加でしたがとても後悔をしています。娘と息子は、45分間マンタを近くで見て中には、傷ついたマンタちゃんがいたり4回もぐるぐる回ってくれるマンタちゃんがいたりで最高の体験が出来たと言っていました。次回は、マンタちゃんを近くで見ることととりちゃんに会いにハワイ島に行こうと思っています(^O^)

I saw so much!! いっぱい見れた！！

Reviewed by: ぷりん

At first, I was about to give up because there was no sign of them at all, but suddenly they appeared right in front of me!! I didn't even have time to take a photo. They were very shy whales; once they showed up, they didn't come back for a while (laughs). Then, out of nowhere, they appeared really close! They came so close that I could see their bumps. After that, I was able to watch three whales for a long time. I could have stayed there forever, but for some reason, we moved to another spot. There, we saw two whales from a bit of a distance. I was internally complaining that we shouldn't have moved~~ while desperately trying to record a video. On the way back to the port, we encountered a pod of spinner dolphins! It was a lucky day＼(^o^)／

最初全く出る気配がないので諦めかけていましたが、突然目の前に出現！！写真を撮る余裕もなかったです。とてもシャイなクジラたちで1回出たら暫くでない(笑)そしていきなり激近で出現！イボイボが見えるくらい近くに出ました。そのあと3頭のクジラを長い間見れました。その場所にずっと居てもよかったのに、なぜかポイント移動。そこではちょっと遠めに2頭。移動しなくてよかったのに～～と内心愚痴りながらもビデオを回すのに必死。帰港するときにスピナードルフィンの群れに遭遇！ラッキーな1日でした＼(^o^)／

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＞

This evaluation is based solely on the weather this time. あくまでも今回の天気を含んだ評価です。

Reviewed by: きひろ

I rated this experience as such because it was held on a very cloudy day.

First, we went whale watching (we saw several whales, including pairs and mother-calf combinations. A baby whale even came right up next to the boat). Then we experienced rafting on a military boat that holds 18 people (it was thrilling with a sense of speed, including moments where we sped towards the coastal cliffs and made U-turns at the last second). Lastly, we went snorkeling (we saw beautiful corals and small fish, and the water clarity was high).

There are three attractions: whale watching, rafting, and snorkeling, and any one of them is worth participating in. Some elderly participants chose not to snorkel.

My rating is primarily due to the poor weather, but the content of the attractions was thoroughly satisfying.

今回はどん曇りの中催行のためこの評価にしました。
内容はまず、ホエールウオッチング(見れました。何頭も。ペアや親子の組み合わせ等。子クジラはボートの真横まで上がってきました。)。18人乗りの軍用ボートによるラフティング(スピード感もありスリルは味わえます。海岸の崖に向かってスピードを上げ、直前でUターン等もあり)。シュノーケル(綺麗なサンゴや小魚等見られます。透明度も高いです。)
ホエールウオッチング、ラフティング、シュノーケルの３つのアトラクションがありどれか1つが目的でも利用価値はあります。高齢の方は、シュノーケルはしない方もいました。
あくまでも天気が良くなかったからの評価であり、アトラクションの内容は十分に満足できる内容です。

野生のマンタ　シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞

Finally, the manta did a backflip underwater for us! 最後にマンタは、海中バック転してくれました！

Reviewed by: K－M

Around 5 PM, we left the harbor and watched the sunset over the ocean. There were about four to five boats offshore. The wind was a bit strong, and the waves crashed violently against the Sheraton Hotel's pier. Feeling a little cold, I tightened my wetsuit up to my neck. Around 6 PM, enveloped in twilight, about 20 participants took turns entering the sea and gazing at the surface. Perhaps due to the weather, the manta rays were not appearing easily... Shortly after, they showed up in slightly deeper waters (3-5 meters?) and passed by. As my body temperature dropped and about 40-50 minutes had passed, suddenly, a manta ray performed a backflip right beneath me! I was moved by the manta's spirit! For those prone to seasickness, feeling cold, or afraid of the ocean, I think it's good to approach this experience with a bit of caution. That said, since it's nature, whether you get to see the manta rays beautifully is a matter of luck.

１７時頃港を出て沖で日が沈むのを眺めています。沖合には４－５隻のボート・船。風はやや強く、シェラトンホテルの岸壁に激しく波が打ち付けられます。少し寒いな、とも感じてウエットスーツを首元までしめます。薄闇につつまれる１８時ごろ（だったと思います）、２０人ほどの参加者が順繰りに海へ入り、海面をみつめます。天候のせいか、なかなかマンタは現れててくれません。。。それからほどなく少し深い（３－５ｍ？）ところに現れては、通りすぎていきます。体温も下がってきて、４０－５０分が過ぎるころ、いきなり自分のからだの真下あたりからバック転をしながら、マンタがサービスしてくれました！マンタの心意気に感動でした！船酔いする方、寒がりの方、海が怖い方、ちょっとだけ用心して臨むとよいと思います。とはいえ自然のことなので、マンタが綺麗に見えるかどうかは運次第です；

Reviewed by: あゆ☆

This time, I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon and booked this tour. It was an experience beyond my imagination. It was so wonderful that I forgot to take pictures. Wild dolphins swam around us, performing three flips, and it was so mystical and amazing that I thought I was dreaming. Our guide, Daisuke, and the captain were perfectly in sync, and they were incredibly knowledgeable about the ecosystem, providing detailed explanations to all our questions. They took us to the best spots to see the dolphins, and coincidentally, there were whales nearby that day, so we got to see not only dolphins but also whales. It was truly the best experience. I definitely want to participate again.

今回はハネムーンでハワイに行き、このツアーを予約させていただきました。
想像以上に素晴らしい体験ができました。
素晴らしすぎて写真を撮るのを忘れてしまいました。
野性のイルカが何頭も私達の周りを泳ぎ、3回転ジャンプをして見せてくれたり、これは夢なのかと思うくらい神秘的で素晴らしかったです。
ガイドのダイスケさんと船長さんの息もぴったりだし、生態についてもものすごく詳しいので何を聞いても詳しく説明してくれました。
イルカを見る場所のベストポジションに連れて行ってくれましたし、たまたまこの日は鯨が近くにいるとのことでイルカだけではなく鯨も見
せてくれました。
本当に最高の体験でした。

ハワイ島 アトランティス潜水艦　ハワイの海底アドベンチャー ＜日本語オーディオガイド＞　

The only downside is that it's a bit pricey... ちょっとお高いのが難点・・・

Reviewed by: minikichi

Most participants are elderly individuals who cannot engage in snorkeling or other marine sports. At the deepest point, we dive down to about 30 meters to see sunken ships and other sights on the seabed. There is also a Japanese audio guide available, so I don't think there will be any issues. If you request a pickup, you will arrive about an hour before the meeting time, and there will be an additional 45 minutes after the return. I think it would be efficient to enjoy some tea nearby or take a stroll around Kailua-Kona during this time. The hotel we stayed at only had high-end souvenir shops, and since we weren't planning to stop by Honolulu, it was great to be able to buy souvenirs all at once at the ABC Store inside the King Kamehameha Hotel.

参加者は、シュノーケルやその他のマリンスポーツができない御高齢の方がほとんどです。いちばん深いところでは、海底30メートルくらいまで潜ります。海底に沈んだ船なども見ることができます。日本語のイヤホンガイドもあり、困ることはほとんどないと思われます。送迎をお願いした場合、集合時間の一時間前くらいに着き、帰りもさらに45分ほど時間があります。この時間に、近くでお茶を飲んだりカイルア・コナの散策もしてしまうと効率が良いと思います。私たちが泊まったホテルには高級なお土産屋さんしかなく、ホノルルにも立ち寄る予定がなかったので、キングスカメカメハホテルの中のABCストアでまとめてお土産を購入でき、良かったです。

野生のマンタ　シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞

I couldn't meet the manta, and I couldn't try again (within 7 days). マンタに会えず、再挑戦（７日以内）も出来ず

Reviewed by: Kaborin

After reading experiences about the smartphone tour and knowing it was a boat departing from Keauhou Bay, I thought it would be perfect for me since I easily get seasick and feel cold, so I made a reservation. However, on February 16, the day I made the reservation, I received an email via VELTRA at 9 AM notifying me that the tour was canceled due to bad weather. The message stated that I would receive a full refund, and there was a link below for rescheduling the reservation.

I quickly made a reservation for the following day, February 17, and soon received a confirmation reply through VELTRA. However, the next day, there were zero manta rays. When disembarking, I was told, "The office opens at 8 AM tomorrow, so please call." But the next day, I had a tour with Kona Brewing where I would be drinking, so I couldn't drive afterward, and I had to return home the following day.

In a bind, I sent a question email to the VELTRA representative who had sent me the cancellation email, but I received no reply. I had seen too many experiences on VELTRA and mistakenly thought that if I didn't see manta rays, I could try again anytime, similar to other tours. However, for this tour, the information about being able to retry within seven days if I didn't see manta rays only appeared if I opened the "View Details" section on my smartphone.

(There was also information in the Q&A about what to do if I didn't see manta rays, but I noticed it too late...) The guide might have explained the details about retrying when disembarking, but I couldn't understand because I'm not fluent in English. It's my own mistake, and there's nothing I can do about it, but I'm really disappointed that I didn't see any manta rays. Next time, I plan to choose a tour where I can retry anytime if I don't see manta rays.

スマホの体験談を読み、ケアウホウ湾から出る船とのことで、船酔いしやすく又寒がりの私にはこれだ！と思い、予約しましたが…。
予約をした２月16日は、VELTRA経由で朝９時にメールで天候不順で中止との連絡が。
金額は全額返金との文面、更にその下には日程を変更して予約する場合のリンクが貼られていました。
すぐに翌17日の予約を入れ、程なく予約確定の返事もVELTA経由で頂いたのですが…。
翌日決行するも、マンタはゼロ。
下船時『明日８時から事務所が開くので、電話してください』というような話をされましたが、翌日はコナブリューイングのツアーでお酒を飲むため、その後の運転はNG、そして次の日にはもう帰国せねばならず。
困り果て、中止メールを頂いたVERTRAの担当者さんに質問メールを入れましたが、返事はなく…。
VELTRAさんでツアーの体験談をいろいろ見すぎてしまったことで、マンタが見られなかった場合は、またいつでも挑戦可能という他のツアーの体験談と勘違いしてしまい、このツアーも再挑戦はいつでもOKなのだと思い込んでしまっていました。
このツアーは、スマホだと〔詳細を見る〕というところを開けないとマンタが見れなかった場合７日以内に再挑戦可能という文面が現れません。
（Q&Aにも、マンタに会えなかった場合のことが書いてありましたが、気づくのが遅かった…）
ガイドさんは、下船時に再挑戦に際しての詳しい話もされていたのかもしれませんが、英語が堪能ではないので、理解できず。
自分のミスで、仕方ないことですが、マンタが見られず、本当に残念です。
次回は、マンタに会えなかった場合は再挑戦がいつでもOKなところを選ぼうと思います。

Hawaii Lifeguard Surf Instructors - Kona Private & Semi-Private Surfing Lessons

Awesome experience and a fun new skill gained!

Reviewed by: Nick Smith

I've always wanted to learn how to surf and Jason was totally awesome and fun to work with. Although there were high surf warnings and strong current warnings going on at the time, I nailed a perfect 10, according to him, on only my 5th wave. I later got 3 in a row, including standing up, surfing the wave, and laying back down again without falling in the blue water below. I quickly caught on to many of the trends, such as interpreting the waves and knowing when to go for it. The first thing to do with learning most any skill is to find patterns.

Jason called me a natural at it, and I believe it, given how quickly I learned and how enjoyable my experience was. It did take me a bit of time to get used to getting up to the standing position from laying down, but the classroom-like aspect of the first segment really helped with that.

I would say the hardest part about this whole thing was finding a parking space for where you'd be doing the actual surfing itself. If you're lucky, you could find parking along the street close by, but chances are, you'll need the parking lot that's close to around 700 feet away, but what's a little walking when you've got a lot of paddling to do? It's a nice warm up, at least, to prepare yourself.

I chose the one on one option mainly because I felt it was going to be a skill I wanted to use in other locations. Little did I know, it actually ensured I could do this as everyone but me canceled due to the surf conditions.

I parked my car as collateral, and the reception was inside the house. It seemed to be a popular tour, as there was another boat besides ours. As mentioned in other comments, everything is in English, so it might be more enjoyable if you can speak a little, but even if you don't understand at all, you'll manage. (The captain shares some history with us.) Suddenly, we sped off into the ocean. Since it was my first time, I was desperately hanging on to avoid being thrown off. If you get seasick, medication is a must. The view of the Big Island from the ocean is magnificent. It was the best. It was my first experience with snorkeling. They provided life jackets, which made me feel safe. We encountered sea turtles and rays. I also saw many beautiful fish. We encountered dolphins three times. They played with us, doing twist jumps right in front of us! It was truly fun. The captain gave us snacks on the boat, and they were delicious! Hawaiian chips with green chili flavor. After that, I went around supermarkets looking for them, but unfortunately, they weren't available.

Thanks to this, I had a very enjoyable time. I would love to visit again.

マンタ大学夜学部　野生のマンタ＆ナイトシュノーケリングツアー ＜送迎可／日本語スタッフ乗船日あり＞

A manta ray right in front of me!! マンタが目の前に!!

Reviewed by: maiko☺︎

I had an amazing time!! The big manta rays swam around, and I could watch them for a long time!! It would have been even better if I could have seen more, but I'm satisfied!! I hope that next time I come, I can see even more manta rays, so I give it 4 stars out of 5 ❤︎*.

すごい楽しかったです!!
おっきいマンタがグルグル泳いでくれて、ずーーっと見てられました!!
もっと沢山見れたらもっと良かったけど、満足です!!
また次来る時にはもっと沢山のマンタが見れるといいなという気持ちで星－1で❤︎*。

Big Island Afternoon Whale Watch Tour from Kona - Body Glove Cruises [Dec - Mar]

Good if you like a large cruise ship

Reviewed by: Amy

The Body Glove Afternoon Whale Watch Cruise was an enjoyable experience. The guide was very knowledgable, and the captain was great.
And they give you free reef friendly sunscreen!

however, you don't really feel that you're 'in nature' if that's what you're looking for - it's a very large very fancy cruise ship - just be aware if you're looking for a more intimate experience!

Very satisfied. 大満足

Reviewed by: Okada

I was able to try multiple times to swim with the dolphins up close. Thanks to that, I was able to swim among a pod of dolphins. As a bonus, I even got to see a whale, which made me very satisfied. Daisuke truly conveyed his love for dolphins, and it felt like he understood their feelings as well. I'm a repeat visitor to the Big Island, and I will definitely be a repeat customer for this tour too!

本当に近くで一緒にイルカと泳げるまでなんどもトライして頂きました。お陰でイルカの群れの中で一緒に泳ぐことができました。
おまけで、クジラまで見させて頂いて大満足でした。
ダイスケさん、心からイルカを愛している方が伝わり、イルカの気持ちまで分かってるようでした。
ハワイ島リピーターですが、このツアーもリピーターになります！

マンタ大学夜学部　野生のマンタ＆ナイトシュノーケリングツアー ＜送迎可／日本語スタッフ乗船日あり＞

A valuable experience. 貴重な体験

Reviewed by: mmm

I had a rare experience being able to see manta rays up close! They come quite close to you, which can be a little scary. I usually don't get seasick, but I started to feel queasy after floating in the water and looking down at the manta rays for a long time, so I went back up to the boat partway through. I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication. It gets chilly at night, so I also recommend preparing for the cold.

マンタを間近で見ることができて、貴重な体験ができました！マンタの方からかなり近づいて来るので、ちょっと怖いくらいです。
普段あまり酔ったりはしませんが、マンタを見るためにずっと下を向いて海に浮いて波に揺られていたことで、酔ってきたので途中でしたが船上に上がりました(･･;)
酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいと思います。夜は冷えるので、防寒対策もおススメします

ハワイ島 サーフィンレッスン　カハルウビーチパークで波乗り体験！グループからマンツーマンのプライベートレッスンあり＜英語インストラクター／現地集合＞

The teacher is kind and gentle, and I was able to ride right away. 優しく丁寧な先生ですぐ乗れました

Reviewed by: トムトムトーム

We tried surfing for the first time as a couple with a combined age of 102 years, and we were able to ride the waves right away. The instructor was very kind and taught us patiently, which made it so much fun! ❣️
It was a bit disappointing that there were no photos available online afterward. Next time, I would like to check the photos first. I definitely want to do this again! ❣️

初めてサーフィンを夫婦の年齢合計102歳でやって、すぐ乗れました。付きっ切りで、優しく丁寧に教えてくれて、とっても楽しかったです❣️
後からネットで見れる写真がなかったのが残念でした。今度は最初に写真の確認したいです。
そして次回もお願いしたいです❣️

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

Beautiful. きれい

Reviewed by: 名無し

The sea was really beautiful.

I could only catch a few words in English, but I managed. The crew was attentive and considerate.

Since it was the end of December, the water was very cold, and even though it was the afternoon session, I started to feel cold after snorkeling for 30 minutes.

If there had been a bit more variety in the drinks and food, it would have been five stars. (Juice, potato chips, rice crackers, oranges, pineapples.)

海は、本当にきれいでした。

英語は、単語しか聞き取れなかったけど、何とかなりました。
乗組員は、声をかけてくれ、気配りができていました。

１２月末だったので、水は、とても冷たく、
午後の部でしたが、３０分もシュノーケルしていたら寒くなってしましました。

飲み物と食べ物がもう少し様々なものがあったら、星５つです。
（ジュース、ポテトチップス。あられ、オレンジ、パイナップル）

マンタ大学夜学部　野生のマンタ＆ナイトシュノーケリングツアー ＜送迎可／日本語スタッフ乗船日あり＞

Fortunately, we saw eight manta rays. 運良く８枚のマンタ

Reviewed by: てらくん

A total of eight mantas came by, and I was able to see them up close. When mantas eat plankton, they do somersaults in the water, and they come up so close that I could even see inside their mouths.

全部で８枚のマンタがやってきて、しかも間近で見ることができました。マンタは餌のプランクトンを食べるときに水中で宙返りをするのですが、そのときに顔スレスレまで上がってくるので、マンタの口の中まで見ることができました

I was able to see wild dolphins and whales! 野生のイルカ、そしてクジラも見れました！

Reviewed by: きのぴー

The wild dolphins were truly adorable, and I had the best time!! I was also able to see wild whales!! They were swimming side by side and showed us their faces, which was so moving. I would recommend this tour to any friends or acquaintances going to the Big Island!! Captain Daisuke was very friendly, and his love for the dolphins really came through!! For those who are a bit worried about seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication!! I usually don’t get motion sickness, but the rocking of the boat, the waves while swimming, and the tension and excitement completely got to me (laughs). If I get to go to the Big Island again, I will take motion sickness medication and join this tour again!! It was truly the best time!!

野生のイルカ達が本当に可愛くて、最高の時間を過ごせました！！そして野生のクジラも見ることができました！！二頭並んで泳いでてお顔も見せてくれて感動感動感動でした。ハワイ島へ行く友人や知人がいたらこちらのツアーをオススメしたいです！！船長のダイスケさん、すごく気さくでイルカちゃん達への愛がすごく伝わってきました！！少しでも船酔いに心配な方は酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします！！普段あまり乗り物酔いをしないのですが船の揺れ&泳いでる時の波の揺れ&緊張と興奮で見事にやられました（笑）もしまたハワイ島に行けたら酔い止めを飲んでこちらのツアーに参加します！！本当に最高の時間でしたー！！
