伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ（キングカメハメハホテル内）＜ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題／シェルレイ付＞

It was a wonderful show. 素敵なショーでした。

Reviewed by: M.Nakano

It was my first time watching a proper hula dance show, and the performance was wonderful and very enjoyable. Before the show, I was entertained by the performance of a whole roasted pig for the buffet, and Kamehameha the Great made an appearance on a raft, along with traditional games to enjoy.

However, I believe the plan included photography, but they asked for $20, so I ended up not purchasing it. I was also disappointed that the lei was not made of flowers.

きちんとしたフラダンスショーを見るのは初めてでしたが、踊りも素晴らしくてとても良かったです。ショーの前にはバイキングに出る豚の丸焼きのパフォーマンスや、カメハメハ大王がいかだに乗って登場したり、伝統的な遊びをしたりと楽しめました。
ただ、プランの中に写真撮影も含まれていたはずですが、お金を要求されて20ドルもしたので結局買いませんでした。レイも花ではなくて残念でした。

My girlfriend broke her ankle trying to go snorkeling so going again was out for us. The next best thing or better even was this tour; Kat, our guide, answered every one of our questions and it was super fun! We saw all kinds of critters and fish and it felt like you were under the waves yourself! Clear and colorful!

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail

Excellent narration, food and drive

Reviewed by: Richard V.

This was my second trip up to the summit of Mauna Kea for the Sunset & Stargazing Adventure. The drive up this time was smoother than the first, thankfully, and our guide was excellent. You could tell he was well-informed on all the topics he discussed. The catered Hawaiian dinner was very tasty, and in sufficient quantity to satisfy a good appetite. The only drawback this time was that the clock-drive on the telescope was not working, which took away from our ability to look at celestial objects at high magnification. I recommend this trip, and also that the tour company repair their clock drives!

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 was able to meet a lot of dolphins. たくさんのイルカに会えました

Reviewed by: ミカコ

When we gathered, the guide mentioned that on the same tour a few days prior, they hadn't encountered any dolphins, which made me a bit worried. However, we were lucky to see many dolphins!

After heading out to sea, I learned that usually, they swim slowly towards where the dolphins are, but that day, there were unusually many dolphins coming towards us.

While we were fortunate, I believe it was also thanks to the guide who chose that location. The guide decides where to wait for the dolphins.

The boat ride took about 30 to 40 minutes, but the guide shared various stories about the Big Island, dolphins, and whales, making the journey enjoyable. It was also nice that it wasn't a large group tour, but rather a small one. Thank you very much.

集合したときガイドさんに、私が参加した数日前の同じツアーでは全くイルカに出会えなかったと聞いて心配になりましたが、運よくたくさんのイルカに会えました。
沖にでてからも、いつもはイルカのいるほうへ少しずつ泳いで移動するそうですが、その日はいつになくたくさんのイルカが来てくれてたそうで、イルカのほうから寄ってきてくれる感じでした。

運もよかったですが、その場所を選んでくれたガイドさんのおかげでもあると思います。どのあたりでイルカを待つかはガイドさんの判断だそうです。

船での移動は30～40分ほどありましたが、ガイドさんもハワイ島やイルカやクジラのいろんな話をしてくれたので、移動中も楽しく過ごせました。一度に大勢参加するツアーではなく少人数でのツアーだったのもよかったです。
ありがとうございました。

Reviewed by: りんちゃん

Three manta rays appeared and circled around us, which was exciting. Two family members got seasick and seemed to need motion sickness medication. The boat was fast, and since it was nighttime, it was quite a unique experience. There was no explanation for snorkeling, so those who are not accustomed to it might panic, especially since it was in the pitch dark sea, and there were elderly people who seemed to be in distress. It might be worth considering this more carefully. I was fine since I am a diver, but for those who are not familiar with marine sports, the spray from the boat constantly hitting their faces could be tough. After it was over, despite being cold, we were handed cold bottled water. The Japanese staff were cheerful and very kind, and I enjoyed our conversations. At the end, there was an explanation about tips, and I had prepared some, but when I got off the boat and changed, there were no staff left as they had already left for the next tour. This meant I had to prepare the tip while feeling cold and drenched, which was a bit challenging considering I had a lot of luggage.

I've never seen a scene like this before! こんな光景初めて！

Reviewed by: msugar

It was a tour that my husband, who loves the ocean and animals, had been longing for. The large rubber boat we boarded just before it got dark was thrilling, almost making us feel like we would be thrown off due to the speed and waves, but we all arrived at our destination while squealing with excitement. We quickly grabbed onto a long float and began observing the mantas. As we floated still, mantas came one after another, starting to spin while opening their large mouths incredibly close to us. I had never seen such a sight! It was breathtaking. While waiting patiently for the mantas, I felt a bit of chill, but when they came close, I forgot the cold and was completely captivated. I think this is definitely an experience you should have when visiting the Big Island of Hawaii.

海と動物が好きな夫が切望していたツアーでした。暗くなる直前に乗り込んだ大型ゴムボートはスピードと波で振り落とされそうなほどスリリングでしたが、乗客皆でキャーキャー言いながら目的の場所に着きました。すぐに長い浮きに捕まってのマンタ見学となり、じっと浮いているとマンタが次から次へとやってきて、信じられないほど近くで大きな口を開けながらクルクルと回転しはじめました。こんな光景は見たことない！感激でした。ジッとマンタを待っているときはちょっと寒さが沁みてきますが、マンタが近くに来てくれたら寒さも忘れて見入ってしまいました。ハワイ島に行ったら是非体験するべきオプションかと思います。

I didn't come to eat plankton like on TV. テレビみたいにプランクトン食べには来なかった

Reviewed by: 小木アリッサ

When we arrived at Sheraton's Point, we saw the shadow of a manta ray and immediately jumped into the water, but it never showed up. We held onto a flat rope while waiting, but it swayed with the waves and moved below, so it wasn't much support. Eventually, I grabbed onto the board directly. I was only breathing through my mouth, swaying up and down and side to side, and after half of the people got seasick and gave up to return to the boat, a few manta rays finally passed by, and that was the end of it. I chose a company that allows you to participate again if you don't encounter manta rays, but since I did see a few, I consider it a graduation of sorts. People who participated with two other companies on the same day said, "As soon as we got in the water, a manta did a flip right in front of us," and "We saw so many," which made it even more disappointing that we didn't have a day with manta rays. There were clouds on the horizon, and we were unlucky enough not to see the sunset, which was highly rated in the reviews.

シェラトン沖のポイントに着くとマンタの影が見え、すぐ海に入りましたが、その後一向に現れませんでした。
平たい紐に掴まって待ちますが、波にユラユラ漂うし下にも動くので支えにならず、途中からボードに直接掴まりました。
口呼吸のみで上下左右に揺られ続け、半数の人が気分が悪くなりギブアップして船に戻った後、ようやく数枚のマンタが通過して行き終了。
マンタに遭遇出来なかったら再度参加出来る会社を選びましたが、一応見られたので卒業。
同じ日に別の2社で参加した人達は「海に入るや否やマンタが鼻先で宙返りした」「いっぱい見られました」と言っており、マンタがいなかった日ではない所がさらに残念です。
水平線に雲が懸かっていて、クチコミで評判の夕日さえ見られないという運の悪さでした。

If you have the opportunity to visit Hawaii and the big island is on your agenda, the tour to the top of Mauna Kea is a must do !! The journey up and down the mountain is exhilarating, the views on the way up, stunning and the views from the top at sunset - unforgettable!!!!
Of course the weather gods can have their say and you could be unlucky.
Very impressed by the capability of our driver Joe who also made our star gazing even more memorable with his explanations and knowledge.

You can only have this kind of experience in Hawaii. It's just so close! In fact, we encountered them several times. As soon as we turned on the LED lights on the SUP boards for everyone to catch, the mantas came right over.

It was like a scene from an aquarium. They are just so big. They swim by really close with their mouths open, eating the plankton attracted by the light. They are about the size of two people, which is a bit scary.

By the way, before reaching the mantas, we also got to see a very beautiful sunset.

It was a thoroughly satisfying tour!!

I encountered a large number of dolphins—countless, really. On this day, I was lucky to spot dolphins right after getting on the boat. We swam with them for about an hour without moving. The dolphins jumped and were very playful.

In the water, some were sleeping while others were active; the active ones would come up to the surface and then swim close to us repeatedly. The sleeping ones floated in deeper waters. The sound of the dolphins chirping could be heard all around, making it a truly precious experience.

This tour might be canceled soon, but I’m really glad I was able to participate. By the way, even if you can't swim, they provide flotation devices, so you can still join. If you go to Hawaii, you definitely should do this! Lastly, thank you so much to the captain who took us back and shared various things about Kona.

We had sandwiches for lunch and moved a little, but during the second snorkeling session, there wasn't much change since we only moved a few hundred meters, which was disappointing. On the way back, we stopped at several places eroded by waves, and the captain explained everything in English, but we were completely lost.

I participated in the local gathering plan at Manta University. We met at Honokohau Harbor, located between Kona Airport and Kailua-Kona. That night, the highlight was Keauhou.

There were handles attached around a surfboard with blue LED lights underneath, and as I held on and floated, mantas repeatedly approached and circled to feed on the plankton attracted by the lights. It was incredibly impressive.

I was told not to touch them, but the mantas came so close that it felt like I could reach out and touch them. They approached so many times during the 30 minutes that I lost count, so I was very satisfied. I heard that on some days they might not show up at all, so I must have been lucky.

As a family who loves snorkeling, we brought our own gear from Japan to join the tour!

The other passengers were of various ages and nationalities, including quite an elderly gentleman. For beginners, they provided thorough instructions on how to wear the mask, which was reassuring. However, all the explanations were in the captain's fast-paced English. (laughs)

We snorkeled at two spots, depending on the sea conditions. The first location was near the Pu'uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park. There were many large coral reefs and a variety of colorful tropical fish! It was such a beautiful spot that we lost track of time.

The second spot was about a 20-minute boat ride away, where lava from Kilauea flowed into the sea decades ago. There were large, round rocks that had cooled and solidified, making it a fun place to explore the terrain. There, we spotted sea turtles! We watched them from a distance so as not to disturb them. Seeing the turtles swim was like watching them soar through the sky, which was incredibly soothing.

When the captain called out that it was lunchtime, we got back on the boat to find smoke rising from it. We enjoyed a buffet-style hamburger lunch with beef patties and chicken grilled by the crew, along with fresh vegetables! It was surprisingly delicious, far exceeding our expectations! The homemade taro chips on the side were also very tasty.

As everyone reluctantly left the sea, the boat headed back to the dock. Along the way, we spotted a pod of dolphins and took some time for dolphin watching, and we made a quick stop at the Captain Cook monument before returning.

The tour lasted about five hours, but time flew by so quickly that we even discussed going again during our stay! (laughs) It was an incredibly satisfying tour! I will definitely participate again when I visit the Big Island!
