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＞　

Atlantis Submarine Tour アトランティス・サブマリンツアー

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We slowly moved from the Kailua Pier to the submarine by boat. The coastline of Kailua-Kona is beautiful. Once inside the submarine, I was surprised at how spacious it was; we dove 100 feet (about 30 meters) and could see the seabed clearly. I am generally prone to seasickness, and since I was sleep-deprived after participating in the Mauna Kea summit sunrise tour, I experienced mild seasickness. I recommend that those who are prone to seasickness take medication before boarding the boat at the pier.

カイルア桟橋から船でゆっくりと潜水艦まで移動
カイルア・コナの沿岸がきれい。
潜水艦に入って見ると中は意外に広く１００フィート（約３０ｍ）潜り海底まで見えきれい。
もともと船に弱い方で、またマウナケア山頂サンライズツアー参加後すぐで睡眠不足だったので、軽い船酔いになりました。
船に弱い方は、桟橋で船に乗る前船酔いの薬を飲まれる事をお勧めします。

Dolphin イルカ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was able to see dolphins. I was a bit worried because it seemed that some people couldn't see them, but during my visit, perhaps due to the timing, I was able to see dolphins swimming from the hotel balcony in the morning, so I wasn't too concerned. By the way, it was around mid-May, during the new moon phase (which may not be related).

As soon as we set sail, we saw dolphins up close, and I was really excited. I regretted not taking pictures because I thought we would be snorkeling there. We ended up snorkeling at another location, which had beautiful coral reefs. They provided masks and fins, and just floating in the sea was very soothing and enjoyable. There were always meals and drinks available, and the shower and restroom were clean, so I thought it was a nice experience. It felt more like a relaxing playtime.

I also did diving as an option. I didn't understand the language, but they properly informed us about the dive sites and guided us, so I had a lot of fun. However, once you start diving, the free time (if you can call it that) becomes limited. I thought it would be amazing if we could dive in the area where the dolphins are.

イルカ見れました。書き込みには、見れなかった人もいたようなので、ちょっと心配でしたが、私の時は、時期がよっかったのか、ホテルのベランダからも朝はイルカが泳いでいるのがみれていたので、心配がなたったです。ちなみに５月半ばの、（関係ないかもだけど、）新月位の時でした。
　出航してすぐイルカがみれ、まじかでしたので、ちょう興奮しました。そこでスノーケルかと思い写真をとらなかったのが、残念でした。スノーケルは、他の場所で、そこは珊瑚のきれいな海です。マスクとフィンを貸してくれて、海に浮いているだけでもとても癒されよかったです。食事も飲み物もつねにあるし、シャワーもついてるし、トイレもキレイなので、いい感じだと思います。どちらかというと、のんびり遊ぶ（癒しな）感じだと思います。
　オプションでダイビングもしました。言葉は解りませんが、ちゃんとポイント名も教えてくれて、ガイドもしてくれたので、結構楽しめました。　ただ、ダイビングをしてしまうと、自由時間（？）が少なくなってしまいます。せっかくなら、イルカがいるところで、ダイビングできたら最高なのにな、と思いました。

I participated in a cruise that departed at 9 AM.

On the day of the cruise, we were the only Japanese people, and the rest were foreigners. All the explanations were in English, but I didn't have any particular difficulties. On the way there and back, we encountered dolphins. We were able to stop the boat and enjoy watching the dolphins until they left. Unfortunately, the dolphins weren't at the snorkeling point, so we couldn't swim with them, but the rental snorkeling gear was very clean, and the boat had a slide that the kids could enjoy (the adults were sliding down too). They provided anti-fog spray for the snorkeling masks and tubes as substitutes for floatation devices, which made for a very comfortable experience. The snorkeling point was in shallow waters with not much wave action, and there were plenty of fish, so even kids could have fun.

There was someone celebrating a birthday that day, and we all sang a birthday song at the end. It was a fun tour.

It was a very beautiful sea! とっても綺麗な海でしたっ！

Reviewed by: Azmy

The captain and staff speak English, but they provide a paper with important notes and destination explanations in Japanese at the beginning, so there's no need to worry. They know a lot about Japan and speak in friendly, easy-to-understand English.

We traveled to the snorkeling point by rubber boat, and we immediately encountered swimming sea turtles in the harbor. Once we hit the open sea, we sped towards our destination. The sudden increase in speed made me think I might be thrown into the water at first (laughs), but I quickly got used to it and enjoyed the beautiful blue sea and the coastline of the Big Island while cheering on the bouncing boat.

Kealakekua Bay, where Captain Cook's monument is located, is a natural spot facing steep cliffs. The waves were calm, making it safe for me, even as a first-time snorkeler. The water was crystal clear and bright with sunlight, and the beautiful coral reefs and colorful fish made me lose track of time. Although it was far away, I was also able to see a pod of dolphins.

I had a great time, but when I got back and looked in the mirror, I noticed my back and the back of my thighs were sunburned and my butt had clear tan lines from my swimsuit. Please make sure to apply sunscreen thoroughly before you go!

キャプテンもスタッフも英語ですが、最初に注意事項や行き先の説明を日本語で書いた紙をくれるので、心配ありません。日本のことも良く知っていて、やさしい英語で気さくに話しかけてくれますよ♪
シュノーケルポイントへはゴムボートで行くのですが、港内でさっそく泳ぐ海亀に遭遇。海に出た後は目的地まで猛スピードで行きます。いきなりスピードアップしたので、最初は海に放り出されるかと思いました（笑）でもすぐに慣れて、飛び跳ねるボートに歓声をあげながら、真っ青な海やハワイ島の海岸線の景色を楽しむことができました。
クック船長の記念碑のあるケアラケクア湾は断崖絶壁に面した自然いっぱいの場所です。波も穏やかでシュノーケリングが初めての私でも安心でした。海は奥深くまで透き通って日の光で明るく、綺麗な珊瑚礁と色とりどりの魚たちには、時間が過ぎるのを忘れてしまうくらいでした。遠くでしたが、イルカの群れも見ることができました。
とても楽しかったですが、帰って鏡を見たら、背中、腿の裏が日焼けで赤くなってました。お尻も水着の跡がくっきり。日焼け止めは念入りに塗って行って下さいね。

Aloha! We attended Island Breeze Luau, and we had a great time! This was our first Luau, and our 12 and 16 year old was with us. They had a great representation of Hawaiin Foods, as well as American foods for those who didnt want the full experience. The entertainment was great, and it was obvious that they loved their work. The passion for thier culture, and familys was beautifully done. By the time you left, you felt like you were part of their Ohana. The only thing I may suggest is to have more fresh fruits for those on a limited diet and more flower leis for sale, as they ran out the first 25 customers. I would give it a 4 1/2 stars.

UFO Parasail Adventure - Best Kona Parasailing Tour

Amazing Bird's-Eye View

I went parasailing with my father (55 years old) and nephew (7 years old). All three of us loved it! My father and nephew went tandem and I took pictures of them. My nephew absolutely loved it, especially when they were dipped in the water on the way back in to the boat. I went up by myself and I can't even begin to describe how peaceful it is. There is virtually no noise and the views are amazing. You can see the coral in the ocean, even from 1,000 feet up! The guides were great; they were fun and knowledgeable. They also had great recommendations for food, drinks, and snorkeling. The price is a bit high but overall worth it. Not only do you go parasailing but you also get a fun boat ride.

The sea and the fish were beautiful! 海と魚がきれいでした！

Reviewed by: marron

After gathering and listening to the instructions, we boarded the boat and headed out to sea. We encountered a sea turtle as we left the harbor. Once we departed, the boat accelerated quickly, cutting through the wind. I was surprised by the speed! Once I got used to the rhythm of the waves, it was a lot of fun. (However, if you are prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to have some medication on hand.)

On the way to the snorkeling point, we enjoyed the coastal scenery, including beaches. The snorkeling point is right next to Captain Cook's monument. Even from a distance, the coral was beautifully visible, and when I went snorkeling, I was amazed to see so many fish. The colorful fish eating the coral were adorable. I also spotted a pod of dolphins in the distance.

The weather was cloudy and a bit chilly, but I had a great time. On the way back, we stopped by the blowhole and caves, and the captain provided explanations for each. It was a bit challenging to catch everything since the explanations were in English, but it was nice to realize that all the other participants were foreigners, making it feel like we were truly enjoying marine sports abroad.

The meeting point was easy to find thanks to clear signage, so I arrived without getting lost. I highly recommend this experience!

I received a notification from Alan the day before that there were too few participants for the scheduled date, but I was able to change the date and participate successfully.

I joined the afternoon tour, but it was cloudy that day, and the snorkeling time at Kealakekua Bay, which I was looking forward to, felt a bit dark underwater. If you can wake up early, I think the morning tour would have better weather conditions. Although I stayed in Kona, it often became cloudy in the afternoon even if it was sunny in the morning.

I was the only Japanese person on the tour, but they provided a Japanese-language pamphlet during boarding, so I could grasp the general idea, and the captain was friendly and chatted with us, so there were no problems at all.

The rafting was a bit nerve-wracking at first as I felt like I might be thrown off, but once I got used to it, it was fine. We were shown lava caves and blowholes in a rubber boat. On the way back, we had a brief encounter with dolphins, which was enjoyable.

申し込んだ日時の参加者が少なく実施出来ないとの連絡が、Alan1より前日に宿泊ホテルにありましたが、日時の変更をして頂き無事参加しました。
午後のツアーに参加しましたが、当日は曇りで楽しみにしていたケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケルの時間は少し海中が暗い感じでした。早起きできれば、午前のツアーの方が天気の状況は良いと思います。コナに滞在しましたが、午前中は晴れていても午後曇ってくることが多かったです。
日本人は私一人でしたが、乗船時に日本語の解説パンフをくれるので大体の感じは掴めますし、船長も気さくにお話ししてくれますので、全く問題ありません。
ラフティングは出だしは振り落とされそうで緊張しましたが、慣れれば問題ありません。ゴムボートで溶岩の入り江の洞窟や潮吹き岩を見せてもらいました。

We participated as a family.
This was our first time going whale watching.
Since there were few Japanese passengers, there were no staff who spoke Japanese on board.
As a result, all the announcements and explanations were in English.
I couldn't understand the detailed explanations, but I thoroughly enjoyed the whale watching.
With fewer passengers, we were able to move around to various positions on the boat, making the watching environment the best.
I was particularly moved by the sight of the whales breaching.
I couldn't help but scream in excitement.
However, since we were expecting to see the breaching right in front of us, it was disappointing that the moment happened quite far away.
Lastly, perhaps due to the bad weather, the catamaran rocked quite a bit. Even though I took motion sickness medication, I still got seasick.

Captain Zodiac is the best! キャプテンゾディアック最高！

On April 1st, we participated as a family of four in the morning.

The weather was great, and the waves were calm, making it perfect for snorkeling. Since we stayed at the Waikoloa Marriott, we arrived at the meeting point, the Honokohau Harbor, in about 20 minutes. The check-in location was easy to find, and the process was smooth with the presentation of our virtual tickets.

Once we boarded the boat, we quickly spotted dolphins; a large pod of wild dolphins surrounded our boat. We were the only Japanese people there, but the American children were friendly, which created a great atmosphere. Everyone was friendly, and we had a fun cruise. The captain resembled Mariah Carey, and the boat moved at an incredible speed. We spotted a whale along the way, and it was thrilling to see it up close. The crew kindly searched for dolphins and whales, so we were never bored.

While snorkeling in the clear water, we saw many colorful tropical fish. This was my first time experiencing such beautiful water and snorkeling spots. There was plenty of time, and I highly recommend it.

We booked online and handled the arrangements ourselves, and everything went smoothly. The staff was quick to respond, and we were satisfied.

As others have mentioned, everything was in English, which was a bit disappointing. I understood the necessary information, but I couldn't catch the explanations about the sightseeing points, which was a shame. It’s a great tour, and I hope they can offer a tour for Japanese speakers in the future.

P.S. My two children (middle schoolers) are still saying they want to go again. I hope everyone enjoys it too!

　お天気もよく、波も穏やかで絶好のシュノーケリング日和でした。ホテルはワイコロア・マリオットでしたので、集合場所のホノコウア桟橋まで20分ほどで到着しました。

　船に乗り込み、すぐイルかを発見、本当にたくさんの野生のイルカの群れが船を取り囲んでくれました。日本人はうちだけでしたが、アメリカ人の子供が人なっつこく雰囲気はよくなりました。皆さんフレンドリーで楽しくクルーズできます。船長さんはマライヤキャリー似のエンジェル。すごいスピードで進んでいきます。途中鯨を発見。すぐ近くで見ることができ感激。親切にイルカやくじらを探しながら進むので退屈しません。

My husband, twin daughters (7) and I all tried this for our first time. We were expecting a thrill ride (which is more our taste). It was anything but a thrill, but rather peaceful and inspiring. You just float. You barely can tell that you are moving. The best part of it was seeing the whales from top side like that.

My husband and I both took a turn with a daughter in a tandem fly. They loved it as well. Something everyone should experience.

It was well worth the money. You definately want to pay them the extra to take pictures. We went up the extra feet and also chose to do the "free fall". Neither of which was scary, but enjoyable. I may consider doing it again but would only be determined on what we could see from that vantage point.

I was moved by the whales. クジラに感動しました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was looking for a tour to go snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay. I decided to join this tour, which seemed more active and enjoyable, as it offered rafting on a rubber boat and a high chance of encountering whales and dolphins!

There was one other Japanese couple (four of us in total), along with about ten other people. Just a few minutes after getting on the boat, we encountered a whale, which was a surprise since I was just hoping to catch a glimpse! After that, we were able to see the magnificent whales multiple times. There was even a moment when a whale appeared right in front of us, almost colliding with the boat, but that close encounter left a lasting impression and became the highlight of my trip.

As for snorkeling, I felt there were fewer colorful fish than I had imagined, but I was still satisfied just enjoying the atmosphere! On our way back, we also got to see dolphins jumping. The boat had a great sense of speed, making it a truly enjoyable time for active travelers. I think knowing English would enhance the experience even more.

On the day of the tour, there were some reservation mix-ups that caused inconvenience, but the staff handled everything with great care, and I am truly grateful to them. It was an incredibly satisfying tour! I highly recommend it to anyone going to the Big Island, and I hope to participate again someday with my children.

For those bringing a camera, I think it's best to be cautious (you might get splashed). I decided against bringing my DSLR and opted for a compact camera instead. However, there were people taking photos with DSLRs as well.

Even someone like me, who isn't very good at English conversation, was able to enjoy it fully.

Towards the end, the sea breeze can feel quite cold, so it's a good idea to bring a jacket. I think couples should not be shy and dance together. On the first night after arriving in Hawaii, you might feel sleepy at first, but your energy will quickly rise, so I recommend seeing it in the first half.

あまり英会話が出来ない私でも、充分楽しむことが出来ました。少し早めに行き、入口前で並ぶと、結構、前の方で見れるのでお薦めいたします。料理も充実しています。最後の方は、海風が冷たく感じてくるので、上着を持参するといいですよ。ぜひカップルの方は恥ずかしがらずに、一緒踊るといいと思いますよ。ハワイ島着いた初日の夜は眠いかと思いまずか、一気にテンション上がるから、前半に見る事をお薦め致します。

They didn't seem to leave the side of the boat, and for a while, they were waving their fins,
as if they were waving at us...

During the two-hour cruise, we encountered whales quite frequently.
It's said that once they dive, they can hold their breath for about 20 minutes.
We spotted them spouting water and moved quickly towards them.
We kept approaching and stopping the engine repeatedly...
That day, perhaps because we encountered so many whales,
by the end, everyone seemed to be getting a bit bored.
Those who participated the day before said they only saw one whale from a distance.

The weather was nice that day, and I think we were lucky,
but I’m really glad I got to see so many whales on this boat.

Personally, I was out on the deck so much that I got sunburned,
and before I knew it, I had taken over 100 pictures with my digital camera.
Chasing after the whales was such a fun time!

The view of the Big Island from the sea was also wonderful.

出航してまもなく
「えっ？もういたの？」
船のすぐ側に、いるかが３頭。くじらが２頭。
スナックフードを食べている暇もありません。

ハワイの鯨は警戒心が無いのかな？
船の側を離れる様子も無く、しばらくムナビレを振ったりして
その様子は、まるで手を振ってくれているかのよう・・・

その後も、2時間のクルーズの間、かなりの確率で
鯨に遭遇。
一度、海に沈むと20分は息が続くと言われる鯨さん。
潮を吹いているのを見つけては、高速で移動。
近づいては、エンジンを止めての繰り返し・・・
この日は、あまりにも、鯨に遭遇したせいか
最後の方には、皆さん、飽きてきたかも。
前日に、参加した方々は1回だけ遠くに観たそうです。

この日は、お天気もよく、きっと運も良かったのだとは
思いますが、たくさんの鯨に出会えて
この船に乗ってよかったです。

個人的には、日焼けするくらい甲板に出ずっぱりで
デジカメ画像は、気が付いたら100枚を越えていました。
夢中で鯨を追いかけた時間、楽しかったです！

海から見る、ハワイ島の風景も素敵でした。

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＞

It's a fun tour. 楽しいツアーです

Reviewed by: アパッチ

We moved to the designated harbor by rental car. The location was easy to find, so we didn't get lost.
At the reception, we received a Japanese guide, and by reading through it, we understood the overall outline of the tour.
After that, we departed from the harbor. That day, besides the two of us Japanese, there were four American family members and two German couples, making a total of eight people.
We did a brief self-introduction when boarding (of course in English). The captain and another staff member spoke only English, so we couldn't catch most of the guide during the trip, but it wasn't a problem for participating. However, it was true that understanding English would make it more enjoyable, as others mentioned.
The small rubber boat runs at an incredible speed, so it shakes a lot. If you dislike this or get seasick, it would defeat the purpose of joining this tour. On the other hand, for those who enjoy this, the tour would be fantastic. We were in the latter group, so we had a great time.
Along the way, we were able to see many whales and dolphins, and snorkeling allowed us to see beautiful fish (though it was a bit cold…).
Overall, it was a wonderful tour for us. I highly recommend it to those who enjoy activities like the ones mentioned above.
Lastly, you can't go to the restroom during the tour, which lasts just over four hours, so I was a bit troubled by that…

レンタカーで指定されたハーバーまで移動。場所はわかりやすく迷うことはありませんでした。
受付で日本語のガイドをもらい、一通り読むことで、ツアー全体像がわかります。
その後、ハーバーから出発。その日は我々日本人２名以外は、アメリカ人ファミリー（？）４名とドイツ人（？）夫婦２名の計８名。
乗船時に簡単な自己紹介（もちろん英語）をしました。船長ともう一人のスタッフは英語オンリーのため、途中のガイドはほとんど聞きとれませんでしたが、参加する上での問題はありませんでした。ただ、英語がわかるともっと楽しくなるという他の方のご意見はもっともでした。
小さなゴムボートは物凄いスピードで走りますので揺れも凄いです。これが嫌いだったり船酔いしてしまうとこのツアーに参加する意味がなくなります。逆にこれが好きな人にとってこのツアーは最高でしょう。我々は後者でしたのでとても楽しめました。
途中、多くの鯨やイルカも見ることができましたし、シュノーケリングは綺麗な魚たちを見ることもできました（ちょっと寒かったけど…）。
全体的に我々にとってはすばらしいツアーでした。上記のようなアクティビティーが好きな方にはぜひお勧めします。
最後に、４時間ちょっとのツアー中トイレに行けませんので、私はちょっと困りました…。

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ 　2階建てカタマラン船に乗って壮大なクジラの姿を観察！＜12～3月／軽食付き／英語ガイド／カイルアコナ発＞

Incredible power!!! 大迫力！！！

Reviewed by: MINO

I just returned from the Big Island of Hawaii.
This time of year coincides with the arrival of humpback whales, so whether you join other ocean tours or a circumnavigation of the island, you can see the whales jumping.

However, this cruise features the whales, allowing you to see them jumping up close and watch several of them playing!

I found myself so captivated by the whales that I could only take distant photos, but my friend who was with me captured some great videos!

Since everyone on the cruise shares the goal of seeing the whales, conversations flow freely regardless of nationality.

As with any tour, I always believe that not being afraid to make mistakes and approaching others with a smile is the key to enjoying your travels.

Water, juice, snacks, and fruit are complimentary. Cocktails and alcoholic drinks can be enjoyed at the onboard bar.

ハワイ島から帰国したばかりです。
この時期はザトウクジラが来る時期にちょうどあたっていた
ということで、他の海のツアーに参加しても
島一周に参加してもクジラのジャンプは観る事ができます。

でも、このクルーズはクジラにフィーチャーしていくので
間近でクジラのジャンプ、数頭が遊んでいるところを
みることができますよ！

私はついクジラに見とれていて、写真は遠くに
ちょっと写っているようなものしかとれませんでしたが
一緒にいた友人は、ムービーでしっかりとってました！

参加者の目的はクジラをみることで一緒なので
クルーズ中は国籍関係なく話が盛り上がります。

どんなツアーでもそうですが、間違える事をおそれないで
自分から話しかけたり、笑顔でいることが
旅行を楽しくする秘訣だといつも思います。

水とジュース、おつまみやフルーツはフリー。
カクテルやアルコールドリンクは船内のバーで
楽しむことができます。

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＞

It was very exciting!!! とてもエキサイティングでした！！！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was extremely satisfied with this tour, which exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend participating in this tour when you visit the Big Island.

We departed from Honokohau Harbor on a 10-person rubber boat. The participants included four people from France, four from Canada, and two from Japan (us). I wasn't confident in my English, but everyone was considerate and spoke in easy-to-understand English, and they provided a printed guide in Japanese, so I was able to participate without feeling anxious.

The journey to Kealakekua Bay took about four and a half hours, during which we searched for whales and dolphins while moving along in the rubber boat. We were able to see both at quite close distances, and we also observed other marine creatures like flying fish and crabs.

Upon arriving at the bay, we went snorkeling. We snorkeled in the truly beautiful sea for about 40 minutes. The water was quite deep, but it was so clear that we could see the bottom, which was breathtaking.

I wasn't confident in my swimming skills, but they lent me a kickboard, so I was able to swim comfortably. On the way back, we saw lava caves and the town of Kailua.

Others who participated with us also said, "This is the best tour I've ever been on."

期待以上のツアーで大満足でした。
ハワイ島へ来た際には、ぜひこのツアーへの参加をお勧めします。
１０人乗りのゴムボートでホノコハウハーバーを出発。参加者はフランス４人、カナダ４人、私達（日本）２人でした。英語に自身がなかったのですが、皆さん気を遣ってくれて、分かりやすい英語で話してくれたり、日本語のガイドをプリントして渡してくれたので、気負いすることなく参加できました。
ケアラケクア湾を目指す４時間半の旅なのですが、行きはクジラやイルカを探しながらゴムボートで進みます。かなり至近距離で両方見れたし、他にもトビウオやカニなど海の生き物を観察しながら進みました。
湾に到着すると、シュノーケリングです。４０分程度本当に綺麗な海をシュノーケルしました。かなり深い海でしたが、底まで見えるくらい綺麗で、感動しました。
泳ぎに自身がなかったのですが、ビート板を貸してくれたので安心して泳げました。
帰りは溶岩の洞窟や、カイルアの街を見ながら戻ってきました。
一緒に参加した他の方も、「今まで参加した中で、ベストツアーだ」と言っていました。

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ 　2階建てカタマラン船に乗って壮大なクジラの姿を観察！＜12～3月／軽食付き／英語ガイド／カイルアコナ発＞

It was a bit disappointing. 少し残念でした。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The Body Glove boat is a very nice vessel, and I felt really excited the moment I saw it at the Kailua Pier. Once on board, we set off right away. The boat had a buffet with cupcakes, croissants, fruits, and soft drinks. The first floor had sofa seating, while the second floor was a deck, and we chose to sit on the first floor.

About five minutes after departure, the boat stopped. An announcement was made that we would be searching for whales. After about 20 minutes of anchoring, we spotted a whale spouting in the distance, and the boat hurried towards it. However, because the boat was large, we couldn't get too close, and by the time we arrived, the whale had already submerged.

It was a bit frustrating. Once a whale surfaces, it reportedly reappears after about 20 minutes, so we kept waiting, chasing, waiting again, and chasing again. While this might be good for families or beginners, we (in our 20s) found it to be a bit lacking in excitement.

ボディグローブ号はとても素敵な船で、カイルア桟橋で船を見た瞬間はとてもワクワクしました。
乗船すると、すぐに出発。船にはカップケーキやクロワッサン、フルーツやソフトドリンクなどがバイキング形式で置いてありました。１階はソファー席、２階はデッキになっており、私達は１階に座りました。
出発して５分ほどたつとすぐに船がストップ。ここで、鯨を探します。とのアナウンスが入りました。２０分ほど停泊すると遠くで鯨の潮吹きする姿を発見、急いでそちらへと船が進みます。
ですが、船が大きいため近くまでは寄れず、向かっている途中に鯨は潜ってしまい近づいた頃には見られませんでした。
少しもどかしい感じでした。鯨は１度海上に姿を現すと次は２０分後とのことで、２０分ほど待って、追いかける、また待って、追いかける。その繰り返しでした。
ファミリーや初心者の方には良いのかもしれませんが、私達（２０代）には物足りないと感じるアクティビティでした。

It was family-friendly. ファミリー向けでした。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a family. The Body Glove boat was very clean, and the seats were spacious, which was great. We departed from Kailua Pier and after about 10 minutes, we stopped to look for whales. When we spotted a spout, we moved closer. This repeated for about two hours. It was nice to enjoy at a leisurely pace since we had children with us.

On the boat, there was an all-you-can-eat selection of pastries, cupcakes, and fruits, along with various drinks (soft drinks only). Alcoholic beverages started at $4. While searching for whales, we enjoyed eating and drinking on the sofa, and when a whale was spotted, there would be an announcement to go see it.

However, because the boat was large, even when we found a whale, we couldn't get too close, which was a bit disappointing. Along the way, we also encountered a pod of dolphins. The dolphins were friendly and came close, which was moving. I think it's a great experience for families with small children or older adults.

ファミリーで参加しました。
ボディグローブ号はとても綺麗で、座席もゆったりとしていて非常に良かったです。
カイルア桟橋を出発し、１０分くらいしたところで停泊し、クジラを探します。潮吹きしている場所を発見すると、そこへ移動。
２時間程度その繰り返しでした。子供がいたので、ゆったりと楽しめて良かったです。
船の中では、ペストリーやカップケーキ、フルーツが食べ放題で、飲み物も色々ありました。（ソフトドリンクのみ）アルコール類は＄４からでした。クジラを探している間は、ソファーでそれらを飲み食いして楽しみ、クジラが発見されたら館内放送が入るので、見に行く。といった感じです。
ただ、船が大きいためクジラを発見しても、あまり近くまでは寄れず、少し遠目で見る感じで残念でした。
途中イルカの群れにも会いました。イルカは人なつっこく、近くまで寄ってきてくれて、感動しました。
小さいお子さんのいるファミリーもしくは、年配の方には良いと思います。

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＞

I recommend it. おすすめです

Reviewed by: マスタン

Since we didn't have a rental car, we participated in this tour with transportation included. It took about 45 minutes to get from our hotel to the meeting point, and we were dropped off just before the port, so we needed to walk to the Body Glove boat. The crew was at the reception, and you can check in by saying your name. As mentioned in other posts, the crew does not understand Japanese at all. I also speak very little English, but they provide a Japanese sheet with important information and emergency signals, so it's okay if you don't understand the English explanations. Since I have poor eyesight, they lent me prescription snorkeling goggles. I didn't understand everything in English, but since I participated in January, it was whale watching season, not dolphin watching. It was a great deal because you could snorkel and see whales. Although the sea was calm, it was still open ocean, so those prone to seasickness should take precautions. They do provide emergency assistance, but I think you need to be capable of managing your own snorkeling. Regarding transportation, the pickup was over an hour after the cruise ended, so I think it's fine to explore the nearby shops. I believe this is an activity that offers a unique experience that can only be enjoyed on the Big Island.

当方レンタカーがなかった為送迎つきのこちらに参加いたしました。
滞在ホテルより集合場所までは４５分くらい、港の手前で下ろされるため、ボディーグローブ号まで歩いていく必要はあります。クルーが受付をしているので名前を言えばチェックインできます。投稿にあるとおりクルーに日本語はまったく通じません。当方も英語はほとんどしゃべれませんが、注意事項、危険時の合図などは日本語のシートを出してくれるので英語の説明がわからなくても大丈夫です。目が悪いのでめがねをかけていたら度つきの水中グラスも貸してくれました。また英語のためわからなかったのですが当方の参加した一月は鯨が来るシーズンのためイルカではなくホエールウオッチングでした。シュノーケリングもでき鯨も見れることでお得ではありました。穏やかとはいえ外洋なので波はあるので船酔いするかたは対策が必要です。また緊急時の対応はしてくれますが自己管理でシュノーケリングできる能力は必要とみます。送迎のほうですが迎えはクルージング終了後一時間以上もあったので周辺のお店を散策してもいいと思います。ビッグアイランドでしか味わえない体験ができるアクテビティだと思います。

On the Body Glove, for a while after departure, we watched people having breakfast with soft drinks and light snacks while we were already full and just had some water... When the engine stopped, we focused our eyes and there they were! We were able to see spouts and breaching clearly. We moved several times and were able to see them one after another; it really felt like there were so many whales coming to Hawaii. We had a wonderful half-day.

ボディーグローブ号、出港からしばらくはソフトドリンクと軽食で朝食をとる人たちを横目に満腹の我々はお水をいたただいてしばし・・・。エンジンがとまったので目をこらしていると、出てきました！潮吹き、ブリーチング、しっかり見ることが出来ました。何度も移動しながら次々と見られ、本当にたくさんの鯨がハワイにきているのが実感出来ました。
楽しい半日を過ごしました。
