What a great day! Pros: The crew was friendly and helpful, the lunch was tasty and we saw a ton of fish. Our 5 year old had an amazing first snorkeling tour. The slide was a hit!
Cons : we didn't see any Dolphins or turtles but body glove can't control that.

On our first trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, we went there on the night we arrived. It was a buffet-style all-you-can-eat and drink, so even with our limited English, we were able to enjoy the meal and the show without any stress!

Since we went with a plan to meet at the location, I was worried about whether I would easily find the meeting spot, but once I got there, it was very clear. The staff was waiting for us even before the meeting time, which made me feel relieved.
There were only the two of us participating in the tour, so we were able to enjoy ourselves freely. We quickly spotted dolphins and were able to see many of them, which made us very satisfied. Above all, I could feel the staff's love for dolphins. If I had to mention one thing, I regret forgetting to take photos.
Since it was just the two of us, it was helpful that they adjusted the return time for us.
I think we had a wonderful way to spend our time! Thank you very much!

Great trip. Unfortunately the summit was closed due to high winds when we reached visitor center. Our guide, Joe was great. He took us on a hike to see the sunset which was amazing and then to an area where he set up a huge telescope for star gazing. He was very knowledgeable and made what could have been a disappointing trip into a great one. We had an amazing experience. I would highly recommend it. Good good too!

So I decided to propose on this particular cruise, and I couldn't have picked a more romantic, thoughtful, and special cruise to do it. I was so incredibly nervous, but the customer service rep was extremely communicative and responsive for my specific request. John, the captain of the vessel, was so knowledgable in the marine life, that my fiance and I asked if he had majored in Marine Biology in college. He had a lot of passion for the marine life and he spent a lot of time speaking with us. Also, the wait staff was beyond courteous, they took pictures of my engagement, and they made us feel so special with their champagne toast.
I also set-up an original song to sing for my fiance, and the musician onboard actually learned my song before-hand, and played it perfectly as I sang it in front of 40 strangers! His tunes really bring that cool, Hawaiian vibe, and the MC was great with her meticulous tour and crowd work. I couldn't have asked for a better sunset, a perfect location, and the greatest staff that I have probably ever encountered. That's saying a lot as I had been a musician on several international five-star cruise lines in the past. I would HIGHLY recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a special event with incredible food.

You have to do this activity! If you love sea creatures, and have not done this before, go for it! The Hula Kai is the way to go. Other tours are available, but the Hula Kai us the best outfit. Plan it early in the trip. It is highly unlikely that the Mantas will not show up, but if they don't, go again. It is only a couple of hours, and a reliable great time. You don't need to be an experienced snorkel / scuba person, they have a system all worked out. Very easy in and out of the water. Go for it!

I parked my car in the hotel parking lot. Normally, the parking fee for non-guests is high, but guests of the luau could park for $5. The venue has long tables where you sit with others, but since the other tables are not all acquaintances, it doesn't feel awkward. The food was delicious, the performances were enjoyable, and my son, who is under three years old, had a great time. I was worried that little kids might get bored halfway through, but he seemed to be fascinated by the dancing and music, sitting quietly and happily watching the stage.
ホテルの駐車場に車を停めました。普通宿泊客でない駐車料は高いですがルアウの客は5ドルで停められました。会場は長テーブルで相席になりますが他のテーブルも皆知り合い同士じゃないのでお互い気になりません。食事もおいしく、パフォーマンスも楽しく、3歳未満の息子も楽しめました。小さい子は途中で飽きてしまうか心配でしたが、踊りや音楽が興味深かったようでおとなしくじっとステージを見て喜んでいました。

The snorkeling spot had clear water and was a great experience. It seemed to be full, so the boat felt a bit crowded, but the amount of food was sufficient, and during snorkeling, everyone enjoyed their activities, so it didn't bother me at all. The restroom on the boat was clean. They also provided careful assistance for snorkeling beginners.

シュノーケルの場所も水がきれいでいい経験でした。満員だったようで船上は少し込み合った感がありましたが食事の量も十分だし、シュノーケル中はそれぞれの行動を楽しむので全く気になりませんでした。船の中のトイレもきれいです。シュノーケル初心者にも丁寧に対応してくれます。

I was truly moved by participating in the dolphin snorkeling. My husband and I are 70 and 67 years old, respectively, and this was certainly the oldest challenge for us. I had previously experienced a dolphin tour on Oahu with my daughter, so I recommended it to my husband to share that excitement. I'm really glad we participated. We encountered hundreds of dolphins. It was a dreamlike moment. Daisuke, who guided us, put in a lot of effort to make the tour better, and I’ve decided in my heart that I want to participate again next time. Thank you for such a moving day.

Fortunately, according to the guide, we saw the most dolphins recently. We were able to see dozens of dolphins and even swim alongside them. The experienced guide would find the dolphins and maneuver the boat to the best spots for encounters, and participants would jump into the sea as instructed. The guide was also very kind, making it enjoyable even for those who were alone.

A pod of dolphins swims gracefully through the water, filling the air with their adorable sounds. I was completely healed by the sight of a baby dolphin jumping while wagging its tail! It seems like there are manta ray tours at night as well, so I want to participate in both next time.

First of all, I was impressed by the transparent and beautiful blue sea. Lucky for us, just as we left the port, we discovered a pod of dolphins swimming with their dorsal fins out of the water. We even spotted some dolphins jumping. I was able to enter the water about four times, aiming for the route the dolphins were taking. The wetsuit keeps you afloat without any effort, but if you're feeling anxious, it's a good idea to use a floatation device. I think we borrowed floatation devices for about three people this time.
During the first time in the water, I wasn't quite used to the sea yet, so I was a bit slow to put my face in the water, and I barely managed to see the dolphins swimming far away. The second time, as soon as I got in the water and put my face down, I was able to see a mother and baby dolphin swimming slowly right below me. I could also hear their cute squeaking sounds. After that, I got more comfortable in the water and was able to enjoy the sunlight filtering through the water and the sight of many dolphins swimming around me.
At the end, Daisuke, who was driving the boat, insisted that he wanted to get in the water! He switched places with Jesse and jumped in, swimming like a dolphin. I couldn't help but wonder if Daisuke was actually a dolphin (laughs).
Jesse, who also provided transportation, didn't look Japanese at all, but he spoke Japanese very well, and I was able to hear a lot of stories beyond just dolphins, which made it really enjoyable. Thank you very much!
まず最初、透明で美しい青い海に感動しました。
ラッキーなことに港を出てすぐに、背びれを出して泳いでいるイルカの群れを発見しました。
そのうちジャンプするイルカも発見。
イルカが進行してくるルートをねらって、4回ほど海に入らせてもらえました。
ウェットスーツは何もしなくても浮くのですが、不安な人は遠慮なく浮き具をもらうといいです。
今回は3人ほど浮き具を貸してもらっていたと思います。
1回目はちょっとまだ海に慣れてなかったので、顔を水に付けるタイミングが遅れて、遠くに泳いでいるイルカをなんとか見れたという感じでした。
2回目は、海に入ってすぐ顔をつけると、真下をゆっくり泳いでいく親子のイルカを見られました。
キューキューというかわいい声も聞けました。
それ以降は水に慣れてきて、海中を差し込む太陽光とたくさんのイルカの泳ぐ姿を余裕をもって見ることができました。
最後は船を運転していたダイスケさんが、どうしても海に入りたい!と言って、ジェシーさんに運転をチェンジして、海に入るとイルカみたいに泳いでました。
ダイスケさんはイルカなのかな?と思ってしまいました(笑)
送迎もしてくださったジェシーさんは全く日本人には見えませんが、日本語が大変上手くてイルカ以外の話もたくさん聞くことができ、とても楽しかったです。

Pros: Our guide was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot. You go from sea level to about 13,800 feet, so remember to drink water. The views at 13,803 feet were beautiful. The observatories are interesting to see (from the outside). You observe stars with an 11" telescope at the visiter center parking lot. The guide points out stars/planets that everyone gets a chance to see. They give you jackets with gloves available.
Cons: It is a bumpy ride and some of the road is dirt. The "hot" meal was more of a box lunch. Bathroom breaks are limited. You do climb to 14,000', be prepared for the climate and altitude change. I was under the impression we could see more of the observatories, you only see them from the outside and are not allowed in.
