I couldn't see many fish while snorkeling, but the boat service was excellent. The boat's restroom was clean, and of course, drinks were included, along with unlimited food from breakfast to lunch, which was a great value.
スノーケルで魚はあまり見えなかったですが、船のサービスは最高でした。船のトイレも綺麗だったし、飲み物は勿論、朝ご飯から昼ごはんまで全て放題でコスパ最高でした。

This was my first trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, and I participated in the much-talked-about night manta ray tour. I chose this particular tour among several options because the price included a wetsuit and was relatively reasonable, the boat ride to the snorkeling point was short, and there was a 7-day guarantee in case we didn't encounter any manta rays.
On the day of the tour, I went to the office to check in and then traveled to the boarding point, which was about a 5-minute drive away. There, I was able to rent a wetsuit and snorkeling gear. My husband borrowed prescription goggles. We set sail during sunset and quickly arrived at the snorkeling point. Aside from us, everyone else on the tour was from abroad, with about 30 participants in total. The instructions were given only in English, but it wasn't a problem at all. The staff members were very friendly and made the experience enjoyable.
The night ocean was incredibly mystical. Holding onto the floatation device and looking down, manta rays soon appeared. Over the course of about 50 minutes, 5 to 6 manta rays came by, showcasing their graceful movements. They were so adorable that I lost track of time, and everyone was super excited! My husband seemed ready to get out, but I wanted to keep watching forever. We returned to the dock in about 5 minutes, and I didn't feel the cold I had worried about at all. It was a thoroughly satisfying night.
今回初めてのハワイ島旅行、話題の夜のマンタツアーに参加しました。いくつかある同企画の中からこちらのツアーを選んだ理由は、ウェットスーツ込みの価格が比較的リーズナブルなこと、岸からポイントまでの乗船時間が短いこと、非遭遇時の7日間保証があることです。
当日、自分で事務所へ行き受付を済ませ、かなり離れた乗船ポイントまで行きます(車で5分)。そこでウェットスーツやシュノーケルセットを借りられます。主人は度付きのゴーグルを貸してもらいました。夕焼けの中、出航。すぐにポイントに到着。私達夫婦以外は全て外国の方。全部で30人位参加していました。説明は英語オンリーでしたが、特に困ることもありません。スタッフの方達はとてもフレンドリーで、楽しませてくれました。
夜の海はとても神秘的です。浮き具につかまり下を覗くと、すぐにマンタがやってきてくれました。50分程の間に5〜6頭やってきては、華麗な舞を披露してくれました。可愛くて、時間の経つのも忘れ、みんな大興奮‼︎ 主人はそろそろ上がりたかったみたいですが、私はいつまでもいつまでも見ていたかったです。帰りも5分程で船着場に到着。心配していた寒さも感じず、大満足の夜でした。

Last year, I had my first experience and it was so much fun, so I relied on you again this year.
This time, I planned to go snorkeling on the Big Island, so I prepared my gear and came. Kayaking allowed me to feel the sensation of being surrounded by the blue sea and blue sky even more than last year. It was really enjoyable.
I was also able to enjoy snorkeling with more ease than last year.
Once again, I really appreciated the guidance from Noni. Thank you very much.
The snorkeling spots you recommended were amazing!! I went to the beach every day.
This year, I thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing vacation on the Big Island with the beach, pool, naps, and reading (with a beer occasionally).
I look forward to next year as well.
昨年、初体験してとても楽しかったので、今年もお世話になりました。
今回はハワイ島でのシュノーケリングも予定していたので、装備も揃えて伺いました。カヤックは、青い海と青い空に包まれるような感覚を、今年は昨年以上に体感できました。ほんとに楽しかったです。
シュノーケリングでも昨年より、余裕を持って楽しむことができました。
昨年に引き続き、ガイドのノニさんにはほんとにお世話になりました。
ありがとうございました。
また教えていただいたシュノーケリングスポットも最高!!
連日でビーチに通いました。
今年はビーチ、プール、昼寝、読書(たまにビール)と、
のんびりしたハワイ島の休暇を満喫しました。
来年もよろしくお願いいたします。

Since there was no shuttle service, we took an Uber to the dock for $20. When we signed up for the trip, it turned out that we were the only ones on the boat. It seems that the other participants, all from English-speaking countries, were on separate boats with their families. After visiting the blowhole, we went snorkeling at Captain Cook's Cove, where we saw a lot of tropical fish. After that, we went looking for dolphins and encountered a large pod of dolphins called Captain Whale, which were about 5 meters long! We observed the dolphins from the boat.
Since we went on a small boat, here are some points to consider:
Pros: The small boat can anchor close to the coral reef, allowing us to get near the fish areas without swimming too much. With fewer people, it feels more private.
Cons: There are only two seats with backrests. The other two seats are like benches on the side, so it feels scary unless you hold onto something to avoid being thrown around. There was only one staff member who acted as both the driver and the guide. The boat goes quite fast, so motion sickness medication is a must.
送迎なしのため、船着き場まではuberで$20で行きました。4人で申し込んだところ、船に乗るのは私達だけでした。他の参加者【全員英語圏】も家族ごとに別の船だったようです。ブロウホールを見学したあと、キャプテンクック岬でシュノーケリングしました。たくさんの熱帯魚が見られます。そのあとイルカを探しに行き、キャプテンホエールという体長5mの大きなイルカの群れに遭遇できました!イルカは船上からの観察です。
小さいボートで行くので以下をご参考に。
メリット:船が小さいので珊瑚礁の近くに停泊できる。したがってあまり泳がなくても魚エリアに近づける。少人数なのでプライベート感がある。
デメリット:背もたれのある座席は2席のみ。あとの2席は側面のベンチのような椅子に座るので、何かにつかまっていないと飛ばされそうで怖い。船のスタッフは運転手兼ガイドの1名のみ。かなりスピードを出すので酔い止めは必須。

PLEASE READ, IT WILL HELP! Truthfully I was skeptical when the tour started, we were the last boat to the area and the last in the water and you could see everyone getting a little edgy seeing other groups experiencing the odd Manta whilst we were still on deck. The staff kept telling us to relax, it would be great. When we finally got in the water we waited a short while for the first Manta and it is exciting, however we didn’t know what was to come. Their plan worked a treat, the other boats all started to leave as they are
On strict timeframes (although we didn’t realise this with our heads down) and we were swarmed by Mantas. The crew counted 7, I thought there were more but perhaps that was my excitement. These giants come so close you can’t believe they don’t touch you belly to belly as they barrel roll. THIS IS AN UNBELIEVABLE EXPERIENCE. The crew are very careful not to damage the environment with their anchor placement and so respectful of the Mantas. I cannot recommend this experience or this operator enough.
STILL SMILING

In the summer sea, you can enjoy the sunset and stay in the water for 45 minutes without it being too cold. They keep the lights on in the water, so many manta rays swim close by. They spin around right in front of you, showing off their playful spirit. On the boat, there are light snacks available, such as drinks, fruits, and chips. It's all in English, but it's easy to understand and fun. If you're prone to seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must. Keauhou Bay is quite far, so it's fine for those staying at the Sheraton, but others will need to rent a car.
夏の海、サンセットもみれて、そんなに冷たくない海で45分つかります。
海ではずっとライトをつけてくれるのでたくさんのマンタが近くを通ってくれます。
目の前でくるくる回ってくれたりサービス精神旺盛でした。
船では飲み物やフルーツ、チップスなどの軽食サービスもあります。
英語オンリーですが、わかりやすいし楽しいです。
船酔いしやすい人は酔い止め必須です。

This was my second time participating. Although only English is spoken, they responded politely even with my broken language, which made me feel at ease. My 6-year-old and 8-year-old had a blast sliding down the slide on the boat and jumping off the diving board. The hamburger lunch, with burgers grilled on the boat, was also fantastic. I will definitely participate again when I go to Hawaii Island.
今回は2回目の参加でした。英語しか通じないですが、片言でも丁寧に対応してくれて、安心して参加できます。6歳と8歳の子どもも船の滑り台から滑ったり、飛び込み台からジャンプしたりと大はしゃぎでした。船上で焼いてくれるハンバーガーをはさんでのハンバーガーの昼食も最高です。またハワイ島に行く時は参加します。

You're just floating with a snorkel and holding onto a float for 45 minutes. It gets really cold, so it might be tough for those who aren't very fit or for small children. We did get to see manta rays, which was impressive, but we only saw about six in 45 minutes, and the water wasn't very clear either. Since we did see the manta rays, I'll give it three stars.
By the way, the "noodle" refers to the stick-shaped float that is given before entering the water. Haha!
45分シュノーケルを付けて浮き輪につかまって浮いているだけです
すごく冷えるので、体力が無い方や小さい子にはキツイかもしれません
マンタは観れて大迫力でしたが、45分で6匹くらい、、、海もあまり綺麗じゃありませんでした
一応マンタ観れたので、星3です
因みに、ヌードルは海に入る前に渡される棒状の浮き輪の事です笑

Our party of 7 had an absolutely fantastic adventure on our sea cave kayak and snorkeling trip. Devon, our guide, was really knowledgeable and very fun to be with. He was very helpful and made everyone feel very comfortable and at ease.
We had a great time kayaking (about 30 minutes out and 30 minutes back), swimming, snorkeling, and even jumping off of a cliff. The visit to the sea cave was also very neat.
We feel like we had 4 different excursions between the kayaking, cliff jumping, snorkeling and swimming, and the sea cave.
We would highly recommend this trip. It turned out to be one of the highlights of our 10 days in Kona.

I had a lot of fun, but even though I arrived early at the meeting place, it seems there was an explanation in English, which I struggle with. As a result, I ended up boarding the boat late, and the only seats available were on the sunny second floor, but I managed to find a spot that was somewhat shaded from the sun.
I felt a sense of alienation, realizing what it's like when you can't communicate. I had to observe the people around me while eating... For those who are not good at English at all, please pay attention to the people around you.
The sea is beautiful, and the staff are kind, but I was a bit disappointed.

It is hard to know which cruise to book--well this is the one I would go with each time! The crew were knowledgable and respectful! As we came into the bay, their were a pod of spinner dolphins; we kept a respectful distance but we all got to take photos. Then when we pulled into anchor and snorkel, they made sure we knew to keep our distance from where the dolphins were swimming, since the dolphins come to the bay to rest it is even more important for people to give them their space--so impressed with the crew.
The snorkeling was beautiful. The coral was amazing and at many different levels with sooo many different species of fish!! Fabulous!

We were the only Japanese people with an English guide. I communicated to our guide, Emi, in English that I didn't understand the language and needed support before boarding. Throughout the trip, she frequently checked in on our health and meal preferences, which made us feel at ease. It was unfortunate that there were guides in the Captain Cook area that I couldn't understand due to the language barrier. However, I was able to enjoy snorkeling at my own pace and had a meaningful experience seeing various fish and corals in two different locations. The meals were served buffet-style, and the hamburger patties were grilled live! The location and delicious aroma were fantastic, and the food was very tasty. Breakfast is provided, but since we gathered at 9 AM and arrived at the first point after departure, I felt a bit nauseous from hunger... In fact, one guest had to return to the port and disembark before heading to the second point due to feeling unwell after entering the water. It might be better for participants to have a little something in their stomachs beforehand.
My mother, who is not fond of water, stayed on the boat the whole time, but she seemed captivated and said, "If they lend out floatation devices in places like this, I think I’ll try going into the sea next time." Emi's voice was very pleasant, making the cruise enjoyable. Since we were staying at the Sheraton Kona, it was also great that we could walk to the meeting point.
英語ガイドで日本人は我々だけ。ガイドのエミさんに「英語がわからないのでサポートをお願いします」とだけ英語で伝えて乗船。 全体にこまめに体調や食事の様子を伺いに声かけしてくださるので、安心して参加できました。キャプテンクックエリアのガイドなどがあったようですが、それが言葉の壁により理解できなかったのが残念。でも、シュノーケルも自分のペースで自由に楽しめるし、二箇所でさまざまな魚やサンゴを観ることができて有意義でした。食事はブッフェ形式。ハンバーガー用のハンバーグはライブグリル!ロケーションと美味しい匂いが最高!とても美味しかったです。朝食は出ますが、9時集合、出航後第1ポイントに着いてからなので、空腹で酔いそうに・・・実際、一度海に入り体調を崩して第2ポイントに向かう前に帰港し下船されたゲストが1名おられました。少しお腹に詰めてから参加される方が良いかもしれまん。
水が苦手な母はずっと船上でしたが、「こういう所で浮き具も貸してもらえるなら次は海に入ってみようと思う。」と海中を実際に見てみたいと魅了されたようです。ガイドのエミさんの声も大変耳心地よく気持ちよくクルーズできました。
シェラトンコナに宿泊していたので、徒歩で集合場所まで行けたのも良かったです。

The manta rays really swirl right in front of you. You can almost touch them if you reach out, and they even bump into your underwater goggles or the camera you’re holding. It was an incredibly thrilling tour. The downside was the language barrier. My husband and I were the only Japanese people there, so we didn’t understand most of the explanations, but it was still manageable. Also, it was quite cold. The ocean at night gets chilly. The people around us didn’t seem to mind as much, so if you’re not sensitive to the cold, you should be fine.
While looking at the voucher at the hotel, I realized I had overlooked the part about confirming by phone at 4 PM. We were supposed to check in at a store in the shopping center at 6 PM and gather at the local port at 6:30 PM. We originally planned to have an early dinner near the shopping center, and since I wasn’t confident in my English skills, I went directly to the store before 4 PM, and they helped me with the check-in process then. For those staying at the Sheraton, you can depart from the port, which is just a short walk from the hotel, so you don’t need a car.
本当にマンタが目の前でぐるぐる回ります。手を伸ばせば触れるくらい、というか、水中メガネや手に持っていたカメラに、マンタからぶつかってくるくらいです。大迫力のツアーでした。難点は英語。日本人は私たち夫婦のみで、説明はほぼ分かりませんでしたが、それでも大丈夫、何とかなります。それと、結構寒いです。夜の海は冷えます。周りの人たちはそうでもなかったので、寒がりじゃなければ大丈夫でしょうか。ホテルでバウチャーを見ていると、16時に電話で確認というのを見落としていましたのに気付きました。18時にショッピングセンターにある店にチェックイン、18時半に現地の港に各自集合となっていましたが、元々ショッピングセンター近くで早めの夕食をとる予定で、電話は英語力に自信がなかったため、直接16時前に店に行き、その時にチェックイン手続きもしてくれました。シェラトンに宿泊している人は、ホテルから歩いてすぐの港から出発しますので車がなくても大丈夫です。
ご参加いただきありがとうございます。マンタツアーを楽しんでいただけたことを嬉しく思います。

The entire tour was in English, but I managed to get by by observing the people around me. I was a bit nervous because it was more expensive than I had imagined, but once it started, it was so much fun!
Regarding the itinerary, we started with the zip line. Since there wasn't much time to change, it's best to participate in swimwear or clothes that can get wet. We moved on to lunch without a break. Then we went trekking and cave exploring. We ended up waist-deep in water, but this wasn't mentioned by Veltra, so we couldn't go further and had to give up. After that, we headed to the waterfall. The water was cold, but the foreigners were swimming vigorously.
There are no places or time to change during this itinerary, so if you want to participate, I think it's best to prepare accordingly from your hotel.
全て英語でのツアーですが、周りの人たちを見ながらやればどうにかなりました。
想像していたよりも高くてビビりぎみでしたが始まってしまえば楽しくて楽しくて!
行程とは違う点
最初にジップラインでした。着替えるところ・時間がないので水着や濡れても良い格好で参加すると良いです。
休む間も無く移動してランチ。
トレッキング&洞窟探検。腰まで水に浸かってしまう、その案内がベルトラさんに記載がなかったので、奥まで行けず断念。
そのまま滝つぼに向かいます。
水は冷たくて、でも、外国のかたはガンガン泳いでました。
この行程ではどこにも着替えの場所や時間がないので、行きたい方はホテルからそれなりの
準備をして行った方がいいと思いますよ。

Its a great experience to go out in the Pacific. We were on a 2 people Kayak and made our way through the ocean while checking out Lava Tube caves, snorkeling and cliff jumping (30 ft).
