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>

Hawaii Island Ocean Rafting & Lava Cave Adventure with Snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay by Captain Zodiac ハワイ島 オーシャンラフティング&溶岩洞窟アドベンチャー ケアラケクア湾シュノーケル付き by キャプテン・ゾディアック号

Reviewed by: Dオーシャン

The boat we boarded felt like a large rubber dinghy with a propeller. I'm not sure about the capacity, but it looked like it could hold about 12 to 14 people. We sat on the edge of the rubber boat and set off! It felt like the American Navy landing from an aircraft carrier. After a little over an hour of crossing waves, we arrived at the snorkeling point. Looking back, this round trip was like sea rafting. Compared to rafting on the Yoshino River, considering there were small children on board and the sea was calm, it might be understandable. However, the term "rafting" still felt a bit off.

The snorkeling was great! It lasted about two hours, including lunch. We were able to see fish up close without them swimming away. For those who are not good at swimming, they provide floatation devices and life jackets.

On the way back through the cave... I'm not very good at English, but they mentioned it was where lava had flowed out and that it had been eroded by the waves! I was a bit disappointed because I had imagined rafting would progress through the cave based on the photos... my assumptions were mistaken.

After that, for the brave, there was a spot to dive from a cliff about 7 to 8 meters high. A young American was taking on the challenge.

When we docked, we saw people who had gone marlin trolling coming ashore, so we watched. Once we reached the pier, we were free to disperse.

By the way, it seems that depending on the season, you might encounter whales. Unfortunately, we didn't see any dolphins this time, which was a bit disappointing.

For future reference, I think of this as a two-hour snorkeling tour with a boat ride over the waves. Also, there were very few Japanese people. This is because the captain, who is a cheerful and handsome guy who loves jokes, doesn't speak any Japanese and there is no shuttle service. Oh, and there isn't really a place to change, so you go in your swimsuit and come back in your swimsuit.

乗る船は大きなゴムボートにスクリューが付いている感じでした。定員は定かではないですが、見た感じ12〜14人位?という大きさでした。ゴムボートの淵に座って出発進行!イメージはアメリカネイビーが母艦から上陸する時のような感じです。波を超えること1時間ちょっとでシュノーケリングのポイントへ到着〜。終わってから思えばこの行き帰りがシーラフティングでした。吉野川などのラフティングに比べると・・・小さな子が乗っていたことと、海が穏やかだったことを考えると仕方ないのかも。ただ、やはりラフティングという言葉は・・・でした。
シュノーケリングは良かった❗️昼食等を含めて2時間ほど。魚が逃げることなく近くで観れました。泳ぐのが苦手な人には浮き具とライフジャケットも貸してもらえます。
帰りの洞窟・・・?あまり得意ではない英語ですが、溶岩が流れ出ていたところってことと、波で削られたんだよ〜!って言ってました。写真を見てラフティングが洞窟の中を進むんだろう!と勝手に思っていた私には残念でした・・・私の思い込みが悪い。
その後、勇気のある人はどうぞ〜!っと7〜8メートル位の断崖からダイブできるところへ。アメリカ人の若者が挑戦してました。
寄港したらカジキのトローリングに行ってた人が陸揚げしてたので見学〜
桟橋に着いたら自由解散でした。
ちなみに、時期によってクジラと出会えるらしいです。今回はイルカにも出会えず、ちょっとだけ残念でした。
今後の方の参考に。2時間のシュノーケリングツアーにボートの波乗り?着きというイメージの方が思います。ちなみに、日本人は少ないそうです。なぜなら船長はジョーク大好き、陽気なイケメンだけど、日本語は一切なく、送迎もないから。あ、着替えるところもところも特に無いので水着で行って、水着で帰る感じでした。

Reviewed by: NOZA

Hello!
Thank you, Captain Taka and Daisuke, for the wonderful time with the dolphins.

My elderly mother was at the sea for the first time in about 30 years, and everyone, including her, was understandably anxious. Thanks to Daisuke's support, everyone was able to focus on the dolphins with peace of mind. I was especially happy that my mother, who was looking forward to this the most, was the first to meet the dolphins, even before my sister.
I appreciate being able to dive in a safe area without any bull sharks, and I thank Taka for taking the boat out for one last chance.

The digital camera was waterproof up to 12 meters (I mistakenly thought it was only 3 meters like my wristwatch).
Though the footage is not great, I am posting it with gratitude.

こんにちは!
キャプテン タカさん・ダイスケさん イルカとの素敵な時間をありがとうございました。

高齢の母は約30年ぶりの海で、本人はもちろん全員が不安でした。
ダイスケさんが母をサポートしてくれたおかげで、全員が安心してイルカちゃんに集中できました。
一番楽しみにしていた姉より誰よりも早く1番先に母がイルカちゃんに出会えた事が何よりもうれしいことでした。
イタチ鮫の居ない安全な海域でダイブさせていただいたこと、タカさんが最後のチャンスに懸けてボートを出してくださったことありがとうございました。

デジカメは12m防水でした。(腕時計の3m防水と勘違いしていました。)
つたない映像ですが、感謝を込めて投稿させていただきます。 

  • 綺麗に撮れてました。ありがとう!

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>

Refreshing! 爽快感いっぱい!

Reviewed by: ミッキー

I participated on Monday, July 28, 2014. The weather was clear.
I originally wanted to go snorkeling and was about to book a tour, but I chose this tour because it also offered rafting as an added bonus. To sum it up, it was a very satisfying tour.
On the day of the tour, we gathered at the location at 9:30 AM, and it took about 45 minutes to arrive from the Waikoloa Beach Resort by rental car. It was an easy-to-find location.
We were divided into two rubber boats with nine people each, but there were only three of us Japanese. The guide couldn't speak Japanese, but he checked if we understood what he was saying and made jokes that were easy to enjoy even if we didn't understand English, showing that he was considerate.
During the tour, the guide explained the history of the monuments and caves, so it was unfortunate if you didn't understand English, but it was still enjoyable even if you didn't grasp everything. I noticed that other Japanese participants were being loudly cautioned by the surrounding guides regarding swimming areas and safety during snorkeling, so it would be better to understand those instructions.
Once the tour started, we first headed out to the open sea where dolphins swim. The rubber boat bounced along, cutting through the wind at an incredible speed, which was truly refreshing. The dolphins swam in groups, and the guide adjusted the speed of the rubber boat so we could take pictures (for about 15 minutes).
After that, we increased speed again and enjoyed thrilling rafting for about an hour to reach Kealakekua Bay for snorkeling.
We had about two hours for snorkeling, but there were breaks for snacks, soft drinks, and sandwiches in between. The tropical fish and coral were very beautiful.
Since you can get quite sunburned, I was glad I wore a long-sleeved T-shirt and a maxi dress.
After snorkeling, we returned to the starting point, but this time we rafted along the coast for an hour while exploring caves. We sped towards the shore, making turns just before crashing, and jumped into high waves on purpose, showing great service spirit.
Holding onto ropes and handrails to avoid falling from the rubber boat made my hands hurt, and it felt like riding a rodeo machine, which made my abs, back, and buttocks sore, but the exhilaration was unbeatable. I was very satisfied, so I generously tipped at the end.

2014年7月28日月曜日に参加しました。天気は晴れ。
もともとシュノーケリングをしたくてツアーを申し込もうとしていましたが、さらにプラスアルファでラフティングも体験できるということで、このツアーを選びました。結論から言うと、大満足のツアーでした。
当日は、9時30分に現地集合でしたが、レンタカーでワイコロアビーチリゾートから45分程で到着。わかりやすい場所でした。
2機のゴムボートに9人ずつ振り分けられましたが、日本人は私達3人のみ。ガイドさんも日本語はできませんでした。ただ、「言っていることはわかる?」と聞いてくれたり、英語がわからなくても和めるようなジョークを言ってくれたりして、気を遣ってくれているのはわかりました。
ツアーの途中、モニュメントや洞窟の歴史の説明をしてくれるので、英語がわからないと残念ですが、理解できなくても楽しいです。シュノーケリングの際の遊泳範囲や注意事項については、他のツアーの日本人が、周りのガイドさん達に大声で注意されているのを見かけましたので、理解できた方がいいかと思います。
ツアーが始まると、まずイルカが泳ぐ外洋へ。ゴムボートが、ボワンボワンと弾みながら、風を切ってものスゴイ速さで進んでいくのは、本当に爽快でした。イルカたちはグループを作りながら泳いでいて、ガイドさんは写真を撮れるようにゴムボートのスピードを調整してくれます(およそ15分位)。
その後、再びスピードを上げ、スリル満点のラフティングをしながら、約1時間かけて、シュノーケリングのケアラケクア湾へ。
シュノーケリングには2時間程時間がもらえますが、間にスナックとソフトドリンク、サンドイッチ等を食べる休憩が入ります。熱帯魚や珊瑚がとてもきれいでした。
日焼けはかなりしますので、長袖Tシャツやマキシ丈のワンピースを着ていって良かったと思います。
シュノーケリングが終わると、出発地に戻りますが、今度は岸沿いに洞窟見学をしながら1時間ラフティングです。猛スピードで岸に向かい、ぶつかりそうなところでターンをしたり、わざと高い波に向かってジャンプしたりと、サービス精神満点でした。
ゴムボートから落ちないように紐やてすりを握っていて手が痛くなりますし、まるでロデオマシーンに乗っているように腹筋や背筋、お尻も痛くなりますが、それに勝る爽快感がたまりませんでした。とても大満足だったので、最後のチップもはずませて頂きました。

this is my second manta snokel.

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

The best fun we had during our trip to Kona.

Reviewed by: From San Diego

I told friend of mine that I was going to be in Kona with my family and he highly recommended that I take Captain cooks dinner cruise. He couldn't remember the actual name of the dinner cruise but with this info I googled it and found it. I was skeptical at first about going on the three hour cruise because we were a huge party of 12 women, children and one man (me), but let me tell you, it was the funnest event of our entire 10 days in Kona. For the most part people seem to be nice and easy-going on the Big Island, but the entire crew of the boat - from the "captain" to the bartender - where the coolest, nicest, and funniest people we met on our entire trip to the Big Island. They really bend over backwards to make you feel at home and they definitely keep you entertained with an interesting historical overview of the Hawaiian Islands given by a Hawaiian storyteller, as well as by a great musical performance given by a talented and recognized young music artist. I highly recommend this dinner cruise for anybody wishing to have a great time in Kona!

  • Perfectly timed return to dock on sunset.

The show was powerful, but it wasn't particularly moving. However, I had a great time taking photos and interacting with the dancers. If you're staying in Kona and want to enjoy a meal while watching a luau show, I think it's definitely worth participating. As for the food, there were not many dishes that I found delicious.

ショーの迫力と言いますか、それほど感動する物ではありませんでしたが、
ダンサーの方々と写真を撮ったり、触れ合う時間があったので、全体的には楽しかったです。
宿泊地がコナで、ルアウショーを見ながら食事がしたいという希望があるならば、十分参加する価値はあると思います。
料理については、おいしいと思える物が少なかったです。

Dear Suematsu,

Thank you for attending the luau show. I sincerely apologize for the delay in my response.

I hope you enjoyed the Polynesian culture, but I feel that we could have delivered something more heartfelt in both the cuisine and the show’s performance.

Thank you for your feedback. We would love for you to join us again at the luau show! With gratitude and apologies.

I felt healed. 癒されました☆

Reviewed by: yuko

I was filled with excitement and anxiety since it was nature we were dealing with, but thanks to the strong desire of the captain and the guide to show the participants dolphins, we were able to see many dolphins. On the way back to the port, when we unexpectedly encountered a pod of dolphins, they created another opportunity for us to get back in the water. I was impressed by their dedication to providing a personal experience rather than just going through the motions of their job. The emotions of having met the dolphins are unforgettable... I will definitely come back to see them again!

自然相手なのでワクワクする期待感とともに、不安な気持ちでいっぱいでしたが、船長とガイドさんのツアー参加者にイルカを観せたいという強い気持ちのお陰で、沢山のイルカに会えました。
帰港する途中で、まさかのイルカの群れに遭遇した際に、もう一度海に入る機会を作って下さり、ただ仕事をこなすのでは無く、親身に対応して下さる仕事っぷりに感激しました。
帰国してからもイルカに会えた感動は忘れられません‥。
また必ず会いに行きます‼

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>

Encounter with a manta ray. マンタ遭遇

Reviewed by: HIDE

We participated in the manta night snorkeling with our family of three, including our 8-year-old daughter. As a result, we had five mantas come very close to us, and our daughter was extremely satisfied.

As parents who dive, we felt it took quite a while to encounter mantas while diving, but if they come so close (within 10 cm), I definitely recommend participating at least once.

By the way, I called to reconfirm at 4 PM on the day of the event, but no one answered. I thought, as someone mentioned in a post, that it might be okay not to reconfirm. However, when we arrived at Sea Paradise at 7 PM as stated in the confirmation, we were told it was too late because the gathering was at 6:30 PM, which was quite alarming. After explaining that the confirmation said 7 PM and that I had called but no one picked up, they called a colleague on the boat, and somehow we were allowed to board despite being late.

I recommend making the reconfirmation call, and since the confirmation stated a 7 PM gathering, I would like VERTRA to double-check with Sea Paradise.

As mentioned in other posts, you will drift on the surface holding onto the bar for about an hour, so after the snorkeling, my daughter was completely chilled. I recommend bringing warm clothes for changing after the snorkeling.

8歳の娘と家族3人でマンタ ナイトシュノーケルに参加。結果としては断続的に5枚のマンタがすぐそばまで接近で、娘も大満足でした。
ダイバーの両親としては、ダイビングでマンタに会うまで結構時間かかったのになあ、と思う気持ちもありましたが、あんなに手軽にマンタがそぐそばまで(10cmと離れてない)くるなら一度は参加をお勧めします。
ところで今回当日4時にReconfirmの電話をするも、誰も出ないので、どなたかの投稿にあったようにReconifrmしなくても大丈夫かな、と思いConfirmationに記載の通り夜7時にシーパラダイスに到着したら、集合は6時半でToo Lateだといわれ肝を冷やしました。Confirmationに7時とあったこと、電話したのに誰も電話を取らなかったことなど話したところ、船の同僚に電話を入れてくれ、何とか遅れて乗せてもらいました。
Reconfirmの電話はしたほうがいいのと、Confirmationに7時集合とあったので、VERTRAさんはシーパラダイスと再確認をお願いしたいと思います。
見なさいの投稿にもありますが、小一時間バーにつかまって水面を漂いますので、終了後は娘は体が冷え切ってました。シュノーケル終了後の着替えは温かいものをお勧めします。

I had a great time! とても楽しかったです(((o(*゚▽゚*)o)))

Reviewed by: ウミガメ

I participated in snorkeling on the Big Island for the first time. I was anxious because I had heard it wouldn't be in Japanese, but I was able to check in without any problems. However, all the explanations on the boat were in English, so I couldn't understand anything at all. They gave us a printout in Japanese beforehand, so I was asking if they were talking about what was written there. By the way, we were the only Japanese family on board.

As soon as we set off, we encountered a pod of dolphins, which was very moving. Since it was rafting, the front seats were really bumpy and thrilling, which made it a lot of fun! The captain tilted the boat left and right, which was entertaining. We had plenty of time for snorkeling and could really enjoy ourselves. There were many beautiful fish. The Blue Cave was more of just a hole than a cave, but the sea was beautiful.

Even though I couldn't speak English, I was able to communicate somehow, and the captain was very kind. It became a wonderful memory!

It's not just about watching the show and eating Hawaiian food at the buffet; activities before the show and meal, such as hula, poi ball, lei making, and tattoos, are also enjoyable. It feels like you can experience Hawaiian culture with all your senses. However, everything is in English (and spoken very quickly), and there are very few Japanese guests. If you want to fully enjoy the luau, I, with my middle school level English skills, struggled to keep up. Ah, I wish I had better English skills!

ショーを観て、ビュッフェでハワイアンフードを食べて〜というだけではなく、フラ、ポイボール、レイメイキング、タトゥー等々、ショーや食事の前のアクティビティーが楽しい。ハワイの文化を五感で体験できるといった感じ。ただやはり全て英語(しかも超早口)、日本人のお客さんもとても少ない。ルアウをフルに楽しもうと思ったら、英語力中学生レベルの私は、ついて行くのに精一杯でした。あぁぁ英語力が欲しい!

Even if you're not confident in your swimming skills, it's perfectly fine to join alone. The staff's attentiveness and care make you feel at ease. I believe I had an experience that was not just like the photos in the guidebook, but even better.

I swam alongside a pod of dolphins, followed the silhouette of a dolphin gracefully arching underwater, and spotted a baby dolphin clinging to its mother. The highlight was when the guide led us to a spot where a dolphin swam towards us, gliding right in front of us. For a moment, the dolphin looked at us, and we were all so excited! We confirmed with each other, "Did we just make eye contact?" At first, I hesitated to join alone because my family is prone to seasickness, but I'm really glad I participated.

泳ぎに自信がなくても、一人参加でも大丈夫。スタッフさんの目配り&気配りがあるので安心です。とにかくガイドブックの写真のような、というよりそれ以上の体験ができたと思います。
イルカの群れと並んで泳いだり、水中深く弧をえがくいるかのシルエットを追ったり、お母さんイルカのお腹にくっついて泳ぐ赤ちゃんイルカを見つけたり。中でもガイドさんが引っ張って誘導してくれた先に一匹のイルカがこちらに向かって泳いできて、目と鼻の先をスーッと横切って行った時、一瞬イルカちゃんがキョロっと私たちを見てくれたのには大興奮!「いま、目があったよね?」とお互い気のせいじゃない事を確認したのでした。最初、家族が船酔い体質のため一人で参加するか迷ったけど参加して本当によかったです。

Both my stomach and heart are completely satisfied! 胃も心も大満足!

Reviewed by: sunchips

I participated with three friends. As others have mentioned, on the day we joined, we were the only Japanese participants, while the other attendees were about 16 people in total, including families, couples, and local friends. The captain was considerate, seating those who were prone to seasickness at the back of the boat.

I thought we would head straight to the snorkeling point, but instead, we enjoyed a tour of Kona from the sea and even went searching for a pod of dolphins, making the journey to the snorkeling spot enjoyable.

Once we arrived at the snorkeling point, we were free to explore at our own pace and had a great time interacting with the fish. The snorkeling gear provided was of good quality, and there were plenty of support items like kickboards and flotation devices.

After snorkeling, we could eat as much as we wanted on the boat, enjoying sandwiches, potato chips, cookies, fruits, juice, and water. I felt both my stomach and heart were full, and despite the boat speeding back, it was a challenge to stay awake!

友人3人で参加しました。みなさんも書かれていたように私たちが参加した日も日本人は私たちのみで、他の参加者は、家族連れやご夫婦、地元の友人同士など、総勢16名程度の出航でした。キャプテンは酔いやすい人をボートの後ろ側に座らせるなど、配慮もしてくれました。
シュノーケルポイントにすぐ向かうのかと思いきや、コナの街を海から紹介してくれたり、イルカの群れを探しに行くなど、シュノーケルポイントにつくまでも楽しく過ごすことができました。
ポイントについてからは、各自自由に行動でき、ゆっくりと思い思いに魚と戯れることができました。貸してくれたシュノーケルグッズもちゃんとしていて、ビート板や浮き棒などサポートグッズも豊富でした。
シュノーケル後は、船の上で、サンドウィッチやポテトチップス、クッキーやフルーツ、ジュースや水など、好きなだけ食べることができました。
胃も心も満たされて、帰りはボートが爆走しているにもかかわらず、寝落ちしないようにするのが大変でした。

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>

The lava cave was disappointing. 溶岩洞窟は期待外れ

Reviewed by: あんな

I thought there would be some Japanese people, but everyone except us was from an English-speaking country. I could hardly understand the explanations. My companion had snorkeling experience, so we managed to get by with their help.

While rafting, we spotted a pod of dolphins that approached us at an incredible speed, and we were able to observe them several times.

The lava cave wasn't really much of a cave. It was just a part where the waves had worn away the rocks, so it was a bit disappointing.

Kealakekua Bay was very beautiful and a lot of fun.

少しは日本人がいるかと思いましたが、自分達以外は全員英語圏の方達でした。説明もほぼ分からず。連れがシュノーケル経験があったので、聞きながらやりました。
ラフティング中イルカの群れを見つけると、すごい勢いで接近してくれ、何度か群れを観察することができました。
溶岩洞窟は洞窟というほどのものではないです。ちょっと波で岩が削れた部分、ぐらいのものなので、期待外れでした。
ケアラケクア湾はとても綺麗でものすごく楽しかったです。

I couldn't find the check-in location, and before I knew it, there was a pretty long line for check-in. Even with a reservation, you need to line up early to get good seats, so be careful.

チェックイン場所が分からず、気づいたらチェックインのためのかなり長い列ができていた。予約していても早くから並んでいないと良い席は取れず注意が必要。

Dear Newlyweds,

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the difficulty in finding the check-in location.

We have also decided to create a guide map for our Japanese website based on your valuable feedback.

We truly hope you enjoyed the show. Please do visit us again. Thank you for your feedback.

新婚旅行様

Fantastic morning with awesome captain and crew!

Reviewed by: Ldubiel

We spent a fabulous morning searching for the dolphins and getting in the water with them. We were fortunate that there were only 4 others on the boat with us. The crew was outstanding and made sure we got in the water and knew where the dolphins were. The captain was fantastic at finding the dolphins and positioning us in the best place possible to swim with the dolphins. The boat was clean and a joy to be on out in the ocean. The crew and captain were very attentive and engaging. Great trip. Highly recommend!!

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>

It was a dream-like time! 夢のような時間!

Reviewed by: hisa

The tour was the highlight of our 3-night stay on the Big Island of Hawaii!

Seeing the beautiful sky, ocean, and mountains from the boat offered a different perspective than from land, and it was so soothing. To top it off, we got to swim with dolphins...

It truly felt like a dream!

Both my husband and I were not confident swimmers, and it was our first time swimming in deep water, which made us a bit fearful. However, by the end of the tour, we enjoyed it so much that we wished we could keep swimming. If we have the chance to visit the Big Island again, we definitely want to participate again!

Daisuke, Captain, thank you again!

ハワイ島に3泊した中でも1番の思い出になったツアーでした!

とにかくキレイな空と海、山々を船の上から見ると、陸から見るのとまた違った表情が見えて、それだけでも癒されるのにイルカちゃんと一緒に泳げるなんて……

本当に夢のような時間でした!!

夫婦そろって泳ぎには自信がなく、足がつかない所で泳ぐのは初めてだったので恐怖感があったのですが、
ツアーが終わる頃には、ずっと泳いでたいと思えるほど楽しめました。
今度またハワイ島に行く機会があれば、絶対参加したいと思います!

ダイスケさん、キャプテン、またよろしくお願いします!

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

Playful cruise 遊べるクルーズ

Reviewed by: Suga

I participated in mid-June. The day before, I went to the office to confirm my reservation and check the parking lot for the departure location, but the road from the parking lot to the office was under repair and was in the water. When confirming my reservation at the office, I was informed about a change in the parking lot. Since the communication was in English, it might have been unclear regarding the changed parking lot. The cruise was comfortable. There were no other Japanese people, but everyone was friendly. Unfortunately, the snorkeling was disappointing due to the lack of fish, but there were fun activities like a slide to jump into the sea from the cruiser, which was enjoyable. The BBQ was delicious, and we were able to relax and take our time.

6月の中旬に参加しました。
前日、予約確認と出航場所の駐車場確認に事務所まで行くと、駐車場から事務までの道が修理で海の中。事務所で予約確認の際、駐車場の変更を言われました。英語でのやり取りなので電話で予約確認をしていたら、変更された駐車場がわかりづらかったかもしれません。クルーズは快適です。日本人は誰もいませんでしたが、皆、フレンドリーでした。シュノーケリングは残念ながら魚が少なかったので期待はずれでしたが、クルーザから海に飛び込む滑り台など、遊ぶ配慮
があり、面白かったです。BBQも美味しくゆっくり出来ました。

I signed up at the last minute and was able to participate just before reaching the maximum capacity. It was a wonderful experience to see so many wild dolphins! The guide, Daisuke, playing with the dolphins was impressive and moving! I think his feelings for the dolphins really came through. I was also healed by the sounds of the dolphins and their jumping on the water's surface. ♡ Additionally, the person I was with on the tour praised the manta rays, so I would like to go see them next time!

急遽前日に申し込み、定員ギリギリのところ参加させてもらいました。
野生のイルカちゃんにたくさん会え素晴らしい体験でした!ガイドのダイスケさんがイルカと遊ぶ姿が印象的で感動しました!イルカへの思いが伝わっているのだと思います。イルカの声や水面をジャンプする姿にも癒されました♡
また、ツアーでご一緒した方がマンタも素晴らしいと絶賛していたので次はマンタにも会いに行きたいと思います!

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>

I highly recommend that you experience it! 是非体験される事をお勧めします!

Reviewed by: HIDE

I participated in this activity because I wanted to safely enjoy the unique marine activities that Hawaii Island has to offer. Although you need to get to the location, we arrived in about 40 minutes from Mauna Lani by rental car. It's easy to find, using the blue roof of the marina as a landmark. The reception is in English, but there were no issues, and we could relax while waiting for departure, greeted by the welcoming dog.

We were first given a sheet with important points and sightseeing tips in Japanese, which helped us understand the tour's content. Everyone else was from English-speaking countries, but we were able to bond with a few simple greetings. We sped across the ocean for about an hour to the snorkeling point. They say we were going about 40 kilometers per hour, but it felt like we were cruising at around 80 kilometers per hour, which was quite thrilling.

At the snorkeling point, the captain provided a detailed explanation on how to wear the mask and use the snorkel. My wife was a bit anxious about snorkeling in deep water, but wearing a life jacket and borrowing a floating board helped her feel safe and enjoy the experience. The snorkeling spot was filled with beautiful coral and tropical fish, and we never got tired of the view.

Onboard, we enjoyed light snacks, including fruits and sandwiches that the captain kindly prepared. On the way back, we enjoyed another refreshing cruise while exploring caves! After snorkeling, it's easy to get cold, so it's better to bring a large bath towel, and since the sun is intense, sunscreen is definitely necessary. I think it's a good idea to bring a camera as it won't get wet.

ハワイ島で安全に楽しめ、かつハワイ島ならではの海のアクティビティが経験したくてこちらのアクティビティに参加しました。こちらは現地まで行く必要がありますが私達はレンタカーでマウナラニから約40分で到着しました。マリーナの青い屋根を目印に簡単に到着する事が出来ます。受け付けは英語ですが特に問題はなく看板犬のお出迎えで癒されながら出発を待つ事が出来ます。最初に日本語の注意点と観光のポイントが書かれたシートを渡されツアーの内容を知る事ができます。私達以外は皆英語圏の人でしたが最初のカタコトの挨拶で打ち解ける事が出来ました。シュノーケリングポイントまで1時間くらい海原を大疾走します。時速40キロくらいらしいのですが体感的には80キロくらいは出ているような迫力のあるクルージングが楽しめます。シュノーケリングポイントではキャプテンからマスクの被り方やシュノーケルの使い方など丁寧にレクチャーがあります。深い海でのシュノーケルを妻が不安に思っていましたがライフジャケットを身に付けさらにフローティングボードも借りる事で安心して楽しめたようです。シュノーケリングポイントは珊瑚と熱帯魚が素晴らしく見飽きる事はありません。船上での軽食も和気あいあいとキャプテンが切ってくれるフルーツやサンドイッチを楽しむ事ができます。帰りは洞窟巡りをしながらまた爽快なクルージングを楽しむ事ができました!シュノーケリングの後は体が冷えやすいので大き目のバスタオルを用意して行った方が良いのと日差しが強烈なので日焼け止めは必ず必要です。カメラは濡れないので持って行った方が良いと思います。
