ケアウホウ湾シーカヤック＆シュノーケルツアー　海中洞窟探検プランあり　＜早朝・午前／日本語ガイド＞by キング・カヤック・ハワイ

I wanted to go cave exploring too... (T_T) 洞窟探検もしたかった・・・(T_T)

Reviewed by: pyonkichi

It was the first time for my husband and me to go to the sea in a long while and to try sea kayaking. Since both of us are over 50, we were a bit worried about our physical stamina and felt a little nervous about participating, but we had a great time thanks to the careful instruction on how to operate the kayak.

The guide spoke very clear and fluent Japanese, having experience living in Japan, so we had no worries about the language barrier.

We placed our valuables in waterproof bags attached to the kayak, but other belongings were left on the shore (we left ours in Kevin's car), so I think it's best to keep your luggage to a minimum!

As for the tour, we progressed while watching the waves crashing against the cliffs. We were able to see wild goats as well.

The cave exploration, which I was most looking forward to, allowed us to see the waves crashing at the cave entrance, but due to high waves, we couldn't go inside this time. It was quite disappointing, but we can't go against nature... Still, it's a shame! We enjoyed snorkeling in a beautiful coral area, surrounded by colorful fish, floating and diving as we pleased. I might have overdone it here, as I felt a bit tired on the way back.

Also, being someone who gets cold easily, I couldn't stop shivering after getting out of the sea. I think I lost body heat since I paddled back while still wet, so I recommend that those who are sensitive to cold have something warm to put on right after getting out of the water.

We participated from Kailua-Kona, but since we didn't rent a car, we took a taxi to the meeting point. It took about 15 to 20 minutes and cost around $30 including tip (though I'm a bit unsure about the exact amount...). On the way back, we took the trolley bus from the nearby Sheraton Hotel. The ride took about 35 to 40 minutes and cost $2 per person. The bus runs every two hours, so I think it's a good idea to check the schedule in advance.

夫婦そろって久しぶりの海に初めてのシーカヤック。
二人とも50歳を超えているので体力的なことも心配で、ちょっとドキドキしての参加でしたが、操作の方法など丁寧に指導していただき、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ガイドさんは日本にお住まいの経験もあるということで、とても聞き取りやすい、上手な日本語を話され、言葉の不安はありませんでした。

貴重品は防水バッグに入れてカヤックに取り付けますが、その他の荷物は岸に置いていくので（私たちはケビンさんの車に置かせていただきました）、荷物は極力少なく！！！がいいと思います。


ツアー内容ですが、シーカヤックは波が岸壁に打ち付けられる様子を見ながらどんどん進んでいきます。
野生のヤギも見ることができました。

今回、一番楽しみにしていた洞窟探検、洞窟の入り口に波が打ち付けるところを見ることができたのですが、今回は波が高く中に入ることはできませんでした。かなり残念でしたが、自然には逆らえません・・・。けど残念！！！！
サンゴのきれいなところでシュノーケリングは楽しむことができました。
色鮮やかな魚もたくさんで、自分たちの好きなように浮かんだり潜ったり。
ここではしゃぎすぎたか、帰りは少し疲れました。


あと、寒がりの私は海から上がった後震えが止まりませんでした。
濡れたままカヤックを漕いで帰ってきたので体温が奪われたのだと思いますが、寒がりの方は岸に上がった後、すぐに羽織れるものがあったらいいかなと思います。

私たちはカイルア・コナからの参加だったのですが、レンタカーは借りていなかったので、集合場所へはタクシーで向かいました。
時間は15分～20分、チップも含めて＄30くらいだったと思います。（ちょっと金額はあやふやです・・・）
帰りはすぐそばのシェラトンホテルからトロリーバスで帰りました。乗車時間35分～40分、一人＄2です。バスは2時間に1本とかなので、事前に調べていかれるといいと思います。

Night snorkeling with Manta Rays was definitely one of the highlights on our trip to The Big Island!
You get the opportunity to see these huge, gracious creatures up close under the water but no fear, they are not dangerous at all. The SeaQuest crew did an excellent job, making sure everyone felt safe and comfortable on the boat, in the water and with the snorkeling gear.
The crew were very knowledgeable and caring about the Manta rays safety too. After the tour, everyone was served hot chocolate and cookies. Tip: bring warm clothes.

Great service and staff. Manta ray was spectacular but lots of waiting to see.

Reviewed by: Tim

Overall, great and once in a lifetime experience to see manta ray(s) up close. We also saw a reef shark and lots of schooling fish. Seaquest provides you with everything you need (wet suit, snorkel gear, etc.). You may leave your dry items on the boat (ie. valuables, phones). All you really need is a towel since it can get chilly after.

We saw one manta ray up close which was spectacular. The remainder of the snorkeling experience was a lot of waiting around and viewing other wildlife. Staff were kind and willing to help out with all our needs.

From the start of this tour we knew it was going to be great. The staff are friendly & engaging. Admittedly it was only our family of 4, which was really nice. The whole afternoon was filled with tuna jumping around us, checking out caves, snorkelling in what I can only describe as one of the best snorkel locations I have ever been to, finishing with dolphins swimming with us on our way back!

Reviewed by: Nao

We went to see a cave a little away from the bay by sea kayak, dropped anchor nearby, snorkeled, swam for a while, and then kayaked back the same route. The kayak ride took about an hour one way. Since we didn't go ashore, it might be a bit hard for beginners. However, the instructor was very kind, and it didn't matter if you couldn't speak much English. Also, we took a route where there was a chance to see sea turtles, mantas, dolphins, and whales, so I think it would be a great experience if you time it with the season! By the way, I only saw a sea turtle.

シーカヤックで、湾から少し離れた洞窟を見に行き、その付近でアンカーを落とし、シュノーケリング、しばらく泳いで、またカヤックで、また来たルートを戻ります。

Great night snorkeling with mantas

Reviewed by: Sharon Savant

Our tour was initially rescheduled due to inclement weather. Sea Quest was really professional and gave us a free GoPro rental to make up for the inconveniences. On the day of the tour, they prepped us with all the necessary gear (prescription snorkels, wet suits, regular snorkels, etc.) And gave us a brief overview of what to expect before we headed into the waters.
We saw about 5 mantas that night. They swam close by and it was a really cool experience. There were 2 sea Quest employees in the water with us helping us each step of the way whether it be to adjust the snorkels or retrieve a noodle. They also kept giving us information about the mantas to make the trip more enjoyable.
After about 45 min in the water it was a short ride back to shore where they had hot chocolate and bags of cookies waiting for us.
Over all a very fun experience. Would definitely recommend.

I made a reservation for the afternoon session, but I received a message the day before suggesting that it would be better to start earlier due to the weather. It's best to answer calls from unknown numbers.

Kevin was in charge, and he was really great, especially with his excellent Japanese! The kayak experience was wonderful; the horizon was beautiful, and I wanted to keep looking at it. The snorkeling was thrilling too, especially when a shark passed by, but I really enjoyed the great outdoors!

It's important to take measures against seasickness and sunburn, but since they speak Japanese, they quickly consider any health concerns if you communicate them. They also took photos for us as a service and sent them the same day.

I was very satisfied!

First kayaking experience with the Hyokin Guide. ひょうきんガイドでカヤック初体験

Reviewed by: くじゃまつ

I was initially anxious about the meeting place since there were no buildings, but the guide arrived by truck, pulling the kayaks to the entry point to the sea. Accompanied by two pairs of beginner couples, including us and a Dutch couple, the guide adjusted to our slower pace and provided thorough explanations at various spots visible from the sea.

At the sea cave (which wasn't very deep), it was enjoyable to watch the Dutch man and the guide jump from the cliff (we declined to participate). Even when we capsized and fell into the sea, the guide calmly helped us back onto the kayak.

Since both pairs were beginners, we didn't go snorkeling but were simply informed about suitable spots. Although there was a bit of wind and waves, it was a fun first experience with enthusiastic and humorous explanations from the guide, all from a sea-level perspective.

集合場所が建物もなく不安でしたが、海へのエントリー場所に、積んだカヤックを引っ張ってトラックでガイド登場。

ふた組ともカヤック初心者のためか、シュノーケリングはしませんでしたが、てきせつな場所を教えてもらうだけでした。

A paradise of fish while snorkeling at a leisurely pace. じっくりシュノーケリングでお魚パラダイス

Reviewed by: すもこ

First of all, this tour starts with a meeting point, so it was an adventure for us from the beginning. We left Hilton Waikoloa a little over an hour before the meeting time and arrived safely after about 50 minutes, but the parking lot in front of Fair Wind was already full. We were directed to a parking area deep in the woods across the way (which was just right in front). It was very difficult to find... However, my mother had checked other people's blogs, so if you're worried, you might want to look there.

We took a large boat to Kealakekua Bay. It was a one-hour boat ride, but it wasn't too bumpy, and we were able to have breakfast, so it went by quickly. There is a second floor, but since meals are served on the first floor, I recommend staying on the first floor.

Once we arrived at the bay, we could snorkel freely. There were no Japanese staff, but they made sure to provide fins and floaties. The floaties, which looked like sumo wrestling mawashi, were quite amusing, but they allowed us to snorkel for a long time, making it very comfortable.

I don't think there were any explanations in English about the fish or where to find them, so you can just immerse yourself in snorkeling. Some people were jumping into the sea from the slide, while others finished snorkeling early to have lunch on the boat or enjoy the scenery; everyone was very relaxed.

On the way back, I was hoping to see dolphins, but I didn't find any. However, when I heard a loud noise and looked towards the back of the boat, there was a man struggling with a fishing line that had a reaction. Everyone cheered, and when a large barracuda came out, the atmosphere on the boat was electric.

This tour is recommended for those who want to enjoy their meals, snorkeling, and the scenery at a leisurely pace.

You cannot see sea turtles. ウミガメは見れません

Reviewed by: ahaaaaa

At the top of the tour introduction on the website, there is a photo of a sea turtle, so I thought I would be able to see sea turtles while snorkeling, but in reality, I didn't see any at all.

Even though the weather was good, the water clarity wasn't that high, and I couldn't experience snorkeling that was truly impressive.

There was an explanation on the way to the snorkeling point by boat, but it was all in English. I was shown a Japanese explanation, but I think that was probably just a part (the minimum information). I believe they were explaining various things, but as someone who struggles with English, I could hardly understand anything.

When we arrived at the snorkeling point, we were allowed to jump into the sea from the boat and snorkel freely.

The guide was resting under a parasol on the boat. There was no explanation about where any fish were. I didn't even know how long we were allowed to snorkel.

After getting out of the water, we were given fruit (pineapple, apple, orange) and a small bag of snacks. (I was disappointed that this was the light meal...)

After that, we went by boat near a cave, but we couldn't enter the cave; we just looked at it from the boat. There was no Japanese explanation here either, so I didn't understand anything at all.

After that, we returned to the port by boat and disbanded. Given all this, I felt that the cost was quite high.

Moreover, there was no pick-up service, and I had to make my own way to the meeting point. Since I was staying at a hotel in the Mauna Lani area, it took about an hour to get to the meeting point.

その後、ボートで洞窟の近くに行ったが
洞窟の中に入れるわけでもなく、ただボートに乗ったまま外から眺めるだけ。

We had an awesome time! I had done a similar activity tour before, but I enjoyed doing it even more with this crew. They actually called us beforehand and warned us that the mantas had been inconsistent in the previous few days, and wanted to know if we wanted to do a different tour or go on a later date. We were leaving the next day, so we couldn't do either, but we really appreciated them being upfront. It turned out not to matter, though, because we saw several mantas! They were incredible to watch, and we got some amazing views of them feeding. Our hosts also gave us a sunset tour of the coast before the mantas came out, which was super beautiful.

We participated in the tour starting at 2:00 PM. The morning tour is about $50 more expensive and includes breakfast and lunch, and if you want transportation included, it’s an additional $20. Since we went by rental car, it cost us about $100 each. I’ve been on lunch-inclusive tours a few times, but I don’t have a great impression of meals prepared on the boat! I think the morning tours attract more customers due to the wave height, but the snorkeling spots are calm, so it’s reassuring. This tour definitely requires English proficiency; if you're not confident, having a Japanese guide is a safer option. Everything on the boat is in English, including explanations and safety instructions, so you need to pay attention to avoid danger! We didn’t see any dolphins, but there were plenty of fish!

Before participating, I had some concerns…
- Would the restrooms be cramped and dirty?
- Would it be uncomfortable on the boat?

There were no problems at all!
The restrooms were about the size of those in a one-room apartment in Tokyo, and there were two of them, making them very easy to use.
The boat was spacious, and the distance between guests was just right.

About 30 minutes after departure, we had our first cruising and breakfast!
The sea was beautiful, and we went snorkeling in a spot where the depth was about 12 to 15 meters.
It was my first time snorkeling in a place where I couldn't touch the bottom, so I was a bit nervous.
For breakfast, there was a small buffet with bread, omelet, and yogurt loaded with fruits. The fruits were so delicious that I had seconds.

After staying there for about 40 minutes, we moved to the second snorkeling point for more snorkeling and lunch.
We even encountered sea turtles!!
For lunch, we had hamburgers, and we could choose our own toppings. It was incredibly delicious, and I was thrilled.

On the way back, we cruised under a completely clear blue sky and arrived on time.

I want to go again!

参加する前に心配だった点…
・トイレは狭くて汚くないか？
・船の上は窮屈じゃないか？

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＞

Reviewed by: たーさん

I really enjoyed this tour, and I think this is my fourth time participating. This time, the tour was especially amazing! There were about eight manta rays? There were so many that it was hard to keep track. In the past, there were times when they didn't show up at all, so since it's in the wild, there's no guarantee you'll see them, but I definitely think it's worth participating. Also, this boat is large, which makes it comfortable and gives a sense of security.

Previously, we borrowed wetsuits at the check-in office, but now the handover has changed to the boat boarding area. Additionally, the tour used to have only one departure per day, but now there are two, an early and a late option. We participated in the early departure.

このツアーはとても気に入っていて、これで4回目くらいの参加になるでしょうか。
特に今回のツアーは最高でした！
マンタの数も８枚くらい？とにかくいっぱいでよくわからないくらいでした。
以前、全く現れない事もあったので、野生だから必ず見れる保証はないですが、参加する価値は十分あると思います。
また、この船は大きいので落ち着くし安心感があります。

We participated in the afternoon tour, but I heard that in the early morning, the waves are not as high and the water clarity is better, making it great for snorkeling. Due to our schedule, we could only participate in the afternoon, but I would like to join the early morning tour next time (*^^*).

シェラトンホテル近くが集合場所なので、このホテル滞在ならとても便利だと思います。私達はコナ滞在でしたので、往復Uberを利用しました。
前日から何度もガイドのノニさんから電話をもらっていたのに気がつかず。午後ツアーに参加したのですが、早朝、午前中の方が波が高くなく海の透明度が高くてシュノーケリングも楽しめるそうです。
日程の都合で午後しか参加できなかったのですが、次回は早朝に参加したいです(*^^*)

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾　シュノーリングツアー ＜軽食付き／英語ガイド＞

A dolphin is doing a spin jump right next to the boat. ボートのすぐ横でイルカがスピンジャンプ

Reviewed by: kaname

We had plenty of time at two snorkeling points and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Along the way, a pod of 5 or 6 dolphins started swimming right next to the boat, and they performed big spin jumps several times—what a lucky experience! Since we were on a Zodiac, we were able to speedily enter deep into coastal caves, which was a lot of fun. We enjoyed a roughly 4-hour tour with an international mix of a family from Canada, a couple from Brazil, and just the two of us. The captain and staff were friendly. The guidance was in English, but I think as long as you can manage basic conversation, it shouldn't be a problem.

2カ所のシュノーケルポイントでの時間もたっぷり、存分に楽しめました。
途中5・6頭のイルカがボートの真横で泳ぎ始め、何度も大きくスピンジャンプしてくれて大ラッキー!!
ゾディアックなので、スピード感たっぷりで海岸の洞窟にも深く入ることができ、とても楽しめます。
カナダからのファミリーとブラジルからのカップルと私たち二人というインターナショナルな組み合わせで約4時間のツアーを楽しめました。
キャプテンはじめスタッフもフレンドリー。英語だけの案内になりますが、カタコト日常会話できれば、特に問題はないと思います。

It was fun! 楽しかったよ～

Riding on a slightly larger banana boat was thrilling. I even encountered dolphins and sea turtles. Even if you don't understand English, body language works just fine.

ちょいと大き目なバナナボートに乗ってる感じでスリル満点。イルカやウミガメにも出会えました。英語がわからなくてもボディランゲージで大丈夫。

ケアウホウ湾シーカヤック＆シュノーケルツアー　海中洞窟探検プランあり　＜早朝・午前／日本語ガイド＞by キング・カヤック・ハワイ

The sea is the best! 海最高！

Reviewed by: 初ハワイ島

I rented a car to get to the meeting place. It was great to have a car since there was no place to change clothes. I participated with my 5-year-old daughter, and she got seasick during the kayak trip, but she felt better after getting out of the kayak and into the sea. The thrill of being inside the cave and seeing the manta rays was great, but kayaking while feeling the vastness of the ocean was the most fun. The pineapple we received at the end was also delicious.

集合場所までレンタカーを借りて行きました。
着替えるところがないので車があって良かったです。
5歳の娘と一緒に参加し、娘はカヤックの途中で酔ってしまいましたが、カヤックを降りて
海につかると元気になってました。
洞窟の中の迫力、マンタも良かったけど、広い海を感じながらのカヤックが楽しかった。
最後にもらったパイナップルも美味しかったです。

ケアウホウ湾シーカヤック＆シュノーケルツアー　海中洞窟探検プランあり　＜早朝・午前／日本語ガイド＞by キング・カヤック・ハワイ

First kayak experience 初カヤック

Reviewed by: ジョンココ

As a couple in our 50s, we embraced the motto of "trying anything that interests us," and this time we took our first kayaking adventure on the Big Island of Hawaii! We enjoyed a pleasant drive along Alii Drive from our hotel to the meeting point at Keauhou Bay early in the morning. Since it was an early morning gathering, we were lucky to find a parking spot on the street.

We were the only participants in the tour, which turned into a luxurious one-on-one instruction experience. Initially, we struggled to make progress, but we managed to find our rhythm together and ventured out into the vast ocean. We also had plenty of photos taken, allowing us to create lasting memories.

Kayaking was truly enjoyable. On the day we returned to Tokyo, I saw a celebrity kayaking in Keauhou Bay on a TV program. Watching that made me think, "I want to do this again next year."

Thank you, Noni! We will be going back to the Big Island next year!

夫婦で50代を迎え、これからは興味を持ったことは「なんでもやってみる」をモットーに、今回のハワイ島ではカヤックに初挑戦！
宿泊していたホテルから集合場所のケアウホウ湾までは、早朝のアリィロードを気持ちよくドライブで。早朝集合だったので、路上（駐車可能な場所）に駐車することもできラッキーでした。
ツアー参加は私たち夫婦だけ。マンツーマン指導の贅沢なツアーになりました。当初はなかなか思うように進みませんでしたが、夫婦息を合わせなんとかコツを掴み、大海原へ。写真もたくさん撮影していただき、思い出深い時間を過ごすことができました。
カヤックはほんとに楽しかったです。
東京に戻った当日、TV番組で芸能人がハワイ島（同じケアウホウ湾）でカヤックをしていました。それを見たら「また来年もしたいな」とつくづく。

ノニさん、ありがとうございました。
また来年もハワイ島へ行きます！

ケアウホウ湾シーカヤック＆シュノーケルツアー　海中洞窟探検プランあり　＜早朝・午前／日本語ガイド＞by キング・カヤック・ハワイ

I was able to see dolphins offshore after the typhoon passed, but... 台風一過の沖合にイルカを見ることができたのですが…

Reviewed by: 50代の50

I participated with my wife, our son who is in the first year of middle school, and our daughter who is in the fifth grade, making a total of four people. The instructor, Kevin, was kind and taught us in fluent Japanese, so there were no issues with the operation lecture. However, perhaps due to the strong waves, my wife and son became seasick about ten minutes into kayaking and had to return early. Unfortunately, we could only snorkel near the starting point, which was very disappointing. I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take anti-nausea medication beforehand.

Since I was experienced, the explanation for snorkeling was brief, and I thought it might be a bit tough for the inexperienced children. However, since it was a short tour, if the explanation is given in detail, the experience time would be shortened, so I think it's better to communicate in advance which is preferred.

I didn't bring a waterproof camera, but Kevin took photos with his own waterproof camera and later shared the files with us.

妻と中1の息子、私と小5の娘の2組４人で参加しました。
インストラクターのケビンさんが親切で丁寧に流ちょうな日本語で教えてくれたので、操作レクチャーについては問題なかったのですが、波が強めだったせいか、妻と息子の組がカヤックに乗って10分程度で船酔いになってしまい、早々に戻ることになってしまい、シュノーケリングもスタート地点付近でしかできず、とても残念でした。酔いやすい方は必ず酔い止めを飲んでいかれることをお勧めします。
　私が経験者であったことから、シュノーケリングについての説明は短目で、未経験の子供にはちょっと辛いかもしれないと思いましたが、短時間のツアーなので、説明を丁寧にされると体験の時間が短くなるので、どちらを望むかを事前に伝えておいたほうが良いと思いました。
　防水カメラを準備して行かなかったのですが、ケビンさんが持参の防水カメラで写真撮影して、後でファイルを共有させてくれました。

The coral was beautiful. サンゴがきれいでした

Reviewed by: pikoyo

The coral is beautiful, and the sea is clear. It was fun, but even though it's August, the sea felt a bit cold for a morning swim. It might be better to participate wearing a wetsuit.

サンゴがきれいで、海もきれい。
楽しかったですが、8月なのに、さすがモーニングのためちょっと海が寒く感じました。
ウェットスーツなどを着て参加の方が良いかもしれません。
