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>

It's really amazing. やっぱりすごいです

Reviewed by: けっつこ

This is my third manta tour, and each one has been different. This time, I felt the most at ease. Having support from Japanese staff was really helpful. The moment the manta appeared was truly breathtaking. However, it was quite cold during this season, and the return trip to the port was chilly, so those planning to go should prepare accordingly.

マンタツアーは3回目ですがそれぞれちがうツアーで今回が一番安心できました
日本人のサポートがあるのは本当に助かります
マンタの出てくるポイントも本当にまじかに 現れ 感動の瞬間でした
ただ 時期的に寒く 港に着くまでの帰路は寒かったので行かれる方はそれなりの準備をしてくださいね

Aloha Ketsuko. Thank you for participating in Manta University. Seeing wild mantas up close is magical and truly an unforgettable experience! We are also glad to hear your comments about the Japanese guide. We appreciate the valuable information you shared regarding the seasonal temperature experience. If you have the opportunity to visit Hawaii again, please come back to re-enroll in Dolphin School. All of us on the crew sincerely look forward to seeing you again. Mahalo nui and A hui hou!

アロハ けっつこ様。マンタ大学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。間近で見る野生のマンタは幻想的であり、忘れられない感動体験になりますよね! 日本語ガイドに関するコメントも嬉しく思います。また、時期的な体感温度に関する有益な情報を発信していただき感謝いたします。またハワイにいらっしゃる機会には、ぜひ、イルカの学校へ再入学しに来てくださいね。けっつこ様とまたお会いできますよう、クルー一同心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui and A hui hou!

野生のイルカウォッチング&ダブルシュノーケリングクルーズ byイルカ大学<ランチ付き/英語ガイド(日本語スタッフ乗船日あり)>

It was a bit disappointing. 少し残念でした

Reviewed by: Yuzu

Right after we set off, we spotted a pod of dolphins near the exit from the port. They even showed us some jumps. The snorkeling point seemed to be beginner-friendly since there were children, but the waves were quite rough, and there were only a few types of fish, so it wasn't a very impressive experience. As a result, some participants got seasick, and although it was a tour that included lunch, when I mentioned that I couldn't eat, nothing was provided, and the tour ended. I wasn't able to ask because my English isn't very good, but I wish they had at least asked if I wanted to take something back.

出発してすぐ、港からの出口付近にイルカの群れを発見。ジャンプも見せてくれました。シュノーケルは子供も居たので初心者向けのポイントだった様ですが、結構波が荒く、魚も数種類で感動体験とはいきませんでした。結果参加者は船酔いしてしまい、昼食付きのツアーでしたが今は食べられなそうと言ったら何も提供されないままツアー終了。英語が不慣れな事もあり聞けませんでしたが、せめて持ち帰るか?など聞いて欲しかったです。

キャプテン・クック号 サンセット・ディナークルーズ <夕食・カクテル1杯付き/カイルアピア発>

Sailing down the west coast of the Big Island to Captain Cook's landing point, then enjoying the sunset as it falls on the horizon. ハワイ島西海岸沖をキャプテンクック上陸点まで南下、そのあと水平線に落ちる夕日を堪能

Reviewed by: 水戸黄門

We sailed south along the west coast of the Big Island to the Captain Cook landing site. While listening to explanations about the history of the Big Island, we were able to see the magnificent overall view of the island from the sea, which was quite enjoyable. Dinner was a set menu, including cocktails and soft drinks. When requesting a vegetarian meal at the time of reservation, we were served Thai curry. For appetizers, we had a green salad with strawberries, and for dessert, there was a wonderfully sweet chocolate tart cake. Hot coffee (Kona coffee) was also provided. After turning back at the Captain Cook landing site, we headed towards the departing port while witnessing the sunset offshore. Along the way, a family of dolphins came close, which was exciting even though it was for a short time. We also observed small fish, resembling flying fish, actively jumping around. Onboard, there was a live guitar performance, and we had a great time singing along to classic hits that any American would know. Depending on the weather, the boat might sway a bit, so those who are prone to seasickness might want to bring motion sickness medication.

ハワイ島西海岸沿いの沖合をキャプテンクック上陸点まで南下。ハワイ島の歴史に関する説明を聞きながら、西海岸沖の海上から雄大なハワイ島の全体像を見ることができ、これだけでもかなり楽しめます。夕食はセットメニューで、カクテルやソフトドリンクがついています。ベジタリアンミールを希望するときは予約時に選択すると、タイカレーが提供されました。前菜としてイチゴの入ったグリーンサラダ、デザートにはめいっぱい甘いチョコレートタルトケーキがでました。ホットコーヒー(コナコーヒー)も提供してくれます。キャプテンクック上陸点で折り返し、沖合でサンセットを見届けると出発した港に向けて航路を向けますが、途中でイルカの家族が近くまで来てくれて、短い時間でしたが盛り上がりました。アジサシ?のような小さな飛び魚のような魚が盛んに飛びながらおよいでいるのも観察できました。船上ではギターのライブ演奏があり、アメリカ人ならだれでも知っている往年のヒット曲で大いに盛り上がりました。天候によっては多少揺れると思いますので、船に弱い人は酔い止めを持って行った方がよいかもしれません。

I had a fantastic and wonderful time. 幻想的で素敵な時間を過ごしました

Reviewed by: takumi

I was surprised to see manta rays so close. I saw several of them, and their graceful movements as they surfaced and spun around to eat were beautiful and magical. It felt like I was in a dream world, and I could have watched them forever.

The encounter rate with manta rays seems to vary by day, so I was lucky. This is my best memory from the Big Island.

I was comfortable since I was used to swimming and snorkeling, but for those who aren't confident in their stamina, it might be challenging after about 30 minutes.

マンタをこんな近くで見れるんだとびっくりでした。何匹も見れたし、何回も浮上してすぐそばで回転して餌を食べる姿は綺麗で幻想的。なんか夢の国にいるようでずっと見ていたかったぐらい。
 マンタの遭遇率は、日によるらしいので、ラッキーでした。ハワイ島で一番の思い出です。

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

Activities on the Big Island of Hawaii ハワイ島でのアクティビティ

Reviewed by: ゆうゆ

My husband, who experienced snorkeling for the first time, ranked the experience at Kealakekua Bay as the most enjoyable activity. Although he wasn't confident in swimming, he was able to borrow a float and easily swim to see the fish. It was great that there was no stress involved. I enjoyed diving from the second floor of the boat. Even though it was a jump into the sea from a height of 5 meters, it required courage. It became a wonderful memory for our sixtieth wedding anniversary trip. Thank you for your hospitality.

シュノーケリング初体験の主人が楽しかったアクティビティとして今回のケアラケクア湾の体験を一番にあげました。泳ぐのが苦手な主人でしたが浮き輪を借りてスイスイと魚達のいるところまで見に行く事ができました。ストレスがかからず良かったです。私は船の二階からのダイブを楽しみました。5mはある高さから海に飛び込むとはいえ勇気が必要でした。還暦夫婦の海外旅行の良い思い出となりました。お世話になりました。

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Family memory created!

Reviewed by: Missy S.

My husband, adult daughter, and I had a spectacular time on this excursion. Our driver/guide/astronomy guru, Maka, was the lynch-pin of the whole experience. After seeing the beautiful sunset at the top, we scurried down to set up for our tour of the night sky. Maka has significant knowledge, a great sense of humor, and an amazing telescope! We all want a laser pointer now!! Fortunately, the three of us experienced only giddiness as an effect of the altitude…the three of us were silly and laughed so much. What a great memory! We had rented a Jeep for our week on the Big Island. Someone had suggested we were wasting our money going on a tour, rather than driving ourselves. But, though the tour was not inexpensive, it was worth every penny for the experience! Highly recommend!!

Very Accessible and Enjoyable Cruise

Reviewed by: Phil

We had a great time on the Dinner Cruise. We were especially impressed when we received a call from Medina from the Body Glove office. She noticed that we stated we both had limited mobility when we registered, so she called to tell us we could park at the pier right across from the boat and arranged to have their crew unlock the gate for us when we arrived. This made it very easy to board. The crewmembers assisted my wife, who uses a walker, during boarding and when getting off the boat. Everyone on the crew was very warm and friendly. Service was excellent. Food was good. Entertainment was a lot of fun. I highly recommend this cruise and thank the folks at Body Glove for their kind assistance to both of us.

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

Six Amazing Mantas and Rolling Waves

Reviewed by: Jackie

Night snorkeling with the manta rays was incredible! We had a wonderful show from six different rays the entire time we were in the water. The guides were all very friendly and helpful. They assist with wetsuits before you board, then assist with masks onboard, and assist with floating noodles and less-experienced swimmers while in the water.

A word of warning - the water (and subsequently, the boat) were rolling intensely once we left the dock. And once you leave the dock, there is nowhere to go to get away from the rolling. Several individuals succumb to seasickness on our cruise. Not sure if maybe the ocean was just rough on our night, or if this amount of rocking is normal. Either way, I would advise caution if you are sensitive to motion sickness or vertigo.

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>

I was able to see many manta rays up close. 間近でたくさんのマンタを見ることができました

Reviewed by: えぬ

Mantas can be seen in other countries as well, but the encounter rate on the Big Island of Hawaii is overwhelmingly high, so I definitely recommend experiencing it. During the session I participated in, several large mantas swam right in front of me, providing a truly valuable experience. The Japanese-speaking guide was very attentive, making it a reassuring tour.

For those who will be participating:
- The boat will speed towards the destination for a while, and it can be quite bumpy. If you're worried about seasickness, it's recommended to take motion sickness medication before joining.
- It gets chilly after coming out of the water. Bringing a large towel can be useful as it can also serve as a wrap.
- Since it's a popular tour, seats can fill up quickly, so it's advisable to keep your belongings to a minimum (if you don't want to place them on the floor). A waterproof bag is recommended as a lot of seawater comes into the boat.
- There is only one Japanese-speaking guide, and of course, they won't be able to provide individual attention to everyone. Especially for beginners in snorkeling, it's safer to familiarize yourself with how to wear the snorkel, how to fit it, how to put on a wetsuit, and how to enter the water beforehand.

マンタは他の国でも見られるそうですが、ハワイ島での遭遇率は圧倒的に高いそうなので、ぜひ体験することをお勧めします。私が参加した回も、大きなマンタが何匹も目の前でくるくると回ってくれて、とても貴重な体験をすることができました。
日本語対応ガイドさんもきめ細やかに対応してくださって、安心できるツアーでした。

これから参加する方に向けて
・爆速のボートをしばらく走らせて目的地に向かいます。かなり揺れます。船酔いが心配な方は酔い止めを服用してから参加するのがおすすめです。
・海から出た後は冷えます。大きなタオルを持参すると羽織にもなるので良いと思います。
・人気なツアーで席が埋まることも多いそうなので、荷物は最小限がおすすめです(床に置きたくなければ)。海水が船内にかなり入ってくるので、防水対応の袋に入れると安心と思います。
・日本語ガイドさんは一名で、もちろん自分たちだけにつきっきりでケアしてくれるわけではありません。特にシュノーケリング初心者の方はシュノーケルの装着方法や合わせ方、ウェットスーツの着方や海への入り方等々、事前に知識を入れられるものは入れてから望んだ方が安心です。

We hope you will come back to re-enroll in the Dolphin School the next time you are in Hawaii! Our crew is looking forward to welcoming you back. Mahalo nui and A hui hou!

アロハ えぬ様。マンタ大学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。ツアー参加日から時間が経っての返信に関してお詫び申しげます。ハワイ島で野生のマンタを近くで見ることはとても貴重な体験になりますよね。日本語ガイドに関するコメントもありがとうございます。また、酔い止めや、寒さ対策、防水対応、シュノーケルに関するとても有益な情報をコメントしていただき、大変感謝いたします。またハワイにいらっしゃる機会には、ぜひイルカの学校へ再入学しに来てくださいね!クルー一同心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui and A hui hou!
