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>

Fantastic! The dance of the manta rays. 幻想的!マンタの舞

Reviewed by: きっこ

I participated with my husband and our 9-year-old daughter. Since my husband speaks English, we decided on this affordable tour, but I think it’s fine even if you can’t speak difficult English, especially if you have snorkeling experience. However, we had to move to the port by ourselves from the tour reception desk.

My daughter, who gets motion sickness easily, took some anti-nausea medication beforehand, and thankfully, she didn’t get seasick. However, it was quite cold floating in the night sea (we participated in August). Even though she wore a long rash guard top and bottom, after floating for nearly 20 minutes and only seeing one manta ray in the distance, she started saying, “I’m cold; I want to get out!” While I was trying to calm her down, a group of five giant manta rays appeared! We forgot about the cold and were just captivated. It felt like we were floating in space. They swirled around us within reach. The staff were friendly and fun, and we had a wonderful experience unique to the Big Island of Hawaii.

夫と9歳の娘と3人で参加しました。夫が英語を話せるので、安いこちらのツアーに決めましたが、シュノーケル経験者の方なら特に難しい英語が話せなくても大丈夫だと思います。ただしツアー受付デスクからは自分達で港まで移動しなければいけません。
酔いやすい娘は、事前に酔い止めを飲ませまた効果か、船酔いはしませんでしたが、とにかく夜の海にずっと浮いてるために冷えます。(8月の参加で)上下ロングラッシュガードを着込んだにもかかわらず、20分近く浮いて、まだ1匹遠くにマンタを見ただけで、「寒くてもうあがりたい〜」と言い出す始末・・・。なんとかなだめていると、そこへ5匹の巨大マンタの群れが〜!!寒さも忘れてただただ見入ってしまいました。まるで宇宙に浮いてる感じです。クルクルと手の届くような位置で回ってくれました。スタッフも気さくで楽しくて、ハワイ島ならではのとてもいい経験が出来ました。

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

I recommend it. お勧めです

Reviewed by: ラブリン

On the boat, they ask for your fin size and provide you with the appropriate ones. They also have snorkeling gear available. They lend you a type of life jacket that wraps around your waist (suitable for both children and adults), so you don’t need to bring your own goggles.

It takes about an hour to reach Cook's Tower by boat, and even though our family took motion sickness medication, we felt a bit queasy. The BBQ cheeseburgers were incredibly delicious, just as mentioned in other reviews! The breakfast muffins were tasty, reminiscent of Costco's.

This was my family's first time participating after visiting the Big Island six times, and we were more satisfied than with any other tour. The beauty of the ocean was amazing.

船の上で、フィンのサイズを聞いて、サイズにあったものを貸してくれます。シュノーケリング道具も。
浮き輪も腰に巻くタイプの(子供から大人まで)ライフジャケット(?)浮きを貸してくれるので、ゴーグルなどの持参も必要ないです。
クックの塔まで1時間くらい船に揺られるので、私たち家族は(酔い止め薬を飲んでいても)少し酔いました。
BBQのチーズバーガーは他の書き込み通り、とっても美味しかったです!朝食のマフィンはコストコのかな?って感じで美味しかったです。
6度目のハワイ島で、初参加でしたがどの観光よりも満足で、海の綺麗さが素晴らしかったです。

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Once in a lifetime experience

Reviewed by: Holly

My sister and I did the sea kayaking adventure our second day here, and we had a blast! It's about and hour out and an hour back, so be prepared to do some paddling, but well worth what's waiting for you at the end. Our guide showed us the sea caves, and let us take a dip in the most remote part of the world (think about it, no joke) and then took us to a small cove where we anchored to snorkel. Saw so many different fish, all different shapes and colors, and the water is crystal clear. After we had snacks on the lava rocks surrounding the cove and a few in the group tried their hand a cliff jumping (not for me, but very safe and looked like fun). HIGHLY recommend doing is excursion. One tip, bring water shoes! you can do it without but it would have been easier with. The guides, Angus and Dana, were awesome! Really fun and very knowledgeable. Mahalo guys!

Very good trip, totally worth it compared to doing it on your own. We had a 5yo and a 8yo and it was no problem. They really enjoyed the snorkeling (they had both snorkeled and been in kayaks before). The guides pointed out lots of interesting things including lava tubes and eels catching crabs in tide pools near the lunch point.

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>

The manta was good, but マンタは良かったけど

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The manta rays drifting in the night sea were enchanting, but it was very cold and the waves were quite high. The snorkeling lasted about an hour, which was pretty exhausting. I had no energy at all due to the cold and seasickness. It was scary to try to return to the boat on my own after getting separated from the group in the night sea, so I recommend being in good health before participating.

夜の海に漂うマンタは幻想的で良かったですが…
とても寒いしけっこう波が高いです。
1時間ほどのシュノーケリングだったのでかなりしんどかった。
寒さと波酔いでまったく余裕がありませんでした。
夜の海で自力でグループから離れて船に戻るのは怖くてがんばりましたが、
体調を万全にしての参加をお勧めします。

ケアウホウ湾 シーカヤック&シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>by オーシャンサファリ・カヤック

It was fun! 楽しかったー!!

Reviewed by: mai

We were the only Japanese participants, and the tour was entirely in English. However, they explained everything slowly and clearly, which was very kind of them. I imagined we would only kayak a little and do some snorkeling, but we actually kayaked quite a bit and went far. It's not really recommended for those who lack stamina. But for active people like us, it was the perfect tour! It was so much fun!! We crossed beautiful seas and went right up to the cave, which was thrilling! For those who are brave, they also take you to a spot where you can jump from a 10-meter cliff, which was incredibly refreshing!

日本人の参加者は私たちだけで、すべて英語のツアーです。ただ、わかりやすいようにゆっくり説明してくれてとても親切でした。少しだけカヤックしてシュノーケリングのイメージでしたが、結構がっつりカヤックして遠くまで行きました。体力のない方はあまりおすすめではありません。でもアクティブな私達にはぴったりなツアーでした♪すっごく楽しかったです!!きれいな海を渡り、洞窟の前まで行ってスリル満天でした!勇気のある人は10mの崖からジャンプできるスポットにも連れて行ってもらえるので、すごく爽快でした☆

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

Enjoying the beautiful blue sea! 青い海で大満喫!

Reviewed by: ななとも

I went kayaking with my mother, sister, and husband. It was my first time kayaking, but Kevin and Noni taught us patiently, and we were able to paddle happily. The snacks and pineapple during the break were also very delicious, making it a wonderful experience. When we got back, even though I applied sunscreen, my skin turned really red. I felt the intense Hawaiian sun even for just a few hours. Our advice is that you should definitely bring a shirt or jacket that covers your whole body. Otherwise, your skin can get close to a sunburn. I think it would be even more considerate if King Kayak included such advice on their website, which would improve their ratings. I would love to participate again when I visit the Big Island. Thank you very much.

母、妹、主人そして私とカヤック体験しました。
カヤックは初めてでしたが、ケビンさんとノニさんが丁寧に教えてくださり楽しく漕ぐことができました。
休憩時のスナックやパイナップルもとってもおいしくて、とても良い体験ができました。
帰ってきたら日焼け止めを塗っていても肌がまっかになりました。
ほんの数時間でもハワイの熱い太陽を実感しました。
私たちからのアドバイスですが、絶対全身覆えるシャツや上着を持っていくべきです。
そうしないと肌が火傷状態に近くなったりします。
キングカヤックさんのHPでもそのような文面を入れられてるとさらに丁寧で評価も上がると思います。
またハワイ島に行ったときは、参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。

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>

It was great. よかったです。

Reviewed by: Miyako

The boat offers an incredibly fast roller coaster experience. You can enjoy the lava from the outside of Hawaii Island. The snorkeling was exceptionally beautiful. The fish playing in the protected coral reefs were truly colorful and there were many different species. They took plenty of time, and it was very healing.

The cave exploration was during the day, so we couldn't go inside due to high tide, but we were able to enjoy the view. We encountered wild dolphins. All the explanations were in English. The meeting place was hard to find, and it felt like searching for the SeaQuest vehicle at the port.

ボートは非常に非常に早くジェットコースター気分を味わえます。外からのハワイ島の溶岩が堪能できます。シュノーケリングは最高にきれいでした。保護されているサンゴ礁で遊ぶ魚たちは本当に色鮮やかで種類も沢山。時間も沢山とってくれ非常に癒されました。
洞窟探検は昼ツアーだったせいか満ち潮で中にははいれず眺める程度。でも野生のイルカに遭遇できました。説明は全部英語。集合場所はわかりにくく港のシークエストの車を探す感じ。

The best moment! 最高のひととき!

Reviewed by: nao

On our honeymoon, we participated in this tour on our first day in Hawaii Island. We arrived at the location, rubbing our sleepy eyes since it was early morning. The moment we got there, we were amazed by the stunning blue ocean that made us forget our sleepiness!

We were greeted by a lovely couple who were our guides. Before we set off, they gave us a clear briefing, and then we headed out into the vast Pacific Ocean! It was a private ocean just for us and the guides.

They mentioned that we might be lucky enough to see dolphins, but unfortunately, we didn't encounter any this time, which was disappointing... However, we were taken to a hidden snorkeling spot where we enjoyed the coral reefs and tropical fish to our heart's content.

Overall, we had a fulfilling time, and it helped us get some exercise, making it a win-win tour!

新婚旅行ではじめてのハワイ島、その初日にこのツアーに参加しました。早朝との事で眠い目をこすりながら現地に到着。その途端、眠気なんて吹っ飛ぶほどの青い海にまず感動!

出発の前に分かりやすくレクチャーしてもらい、いざ太平洋の大海原へ!
あたりは私たちとガイドさんだけのプライベートオーシャン。
運が良ければイルカに会えるらしいですが、この時は会えず、残念・・・
それでも、シュノーケリングの穴場に連れて行ってもらい、サンゴ礁と熱帯魚を満足いくまで楽しむことが出来ました。
とにかく充実した時間を過ごしながら、運動不足も解消され、一石二鳥のツアーでした!

We participated in this tour for our honeymoon. Since it was just the two of us, we could enjoy ourselves at our own pace without worrying about others.

The tips for kayaking were taught very well, and we were able to paddle at a comfortable pace, so we didn't get tired or sore.

The snorkeling had high visibility with plenty of fish, and it was incredibly beautiful. We spent a long time underwater, but our kind guide Kevin was always watching over us without rushing, and he took many photos for us. Since it was our honeymoon, we were happy to receive lots of couple photos.

We were able to see a pod of dolphins and explore a mystical cave, making for a unique experience that could only be done by kayak.

We truly felt rejuvenated by the kind Kevin and the beautiful sea, creating wonderful memories, and we are glad we participated in this tour.

新婚旅行でこのツアーに参加しました。参加は二人だけで自分たちのペースで気を遣うことなく遊べました。
カヤックのコツも上手に教えていただき、また休み休み漕ぐ事ができたので疲れたり筋肉痛になることもなかったです。
シュノーケリングは透明度が高くお魚も沢山いて、すごくキレイでした。長い事潜っていましたが優しいガイドのケビンさんは急かすことなくずっと見守ってくれていて、写真も沢山撮って下さいました。新婚旅行だったのでツーショット写真が沢山もらえたので嬉しかったです。
イルカの群れも見ることができたり、神秘的な洞窟を見たりとカヤックでしかできない貴重な体験ができました。
本当に優しいケビンさんとキレイな海に癒され素敵な思い出ができ、このツアーに参加して良かったです。

The 2-hour course is just right! 2時間コースがちょうど良い!

Reviewed by: kapietty

I experienced a two-hour course starting at 2 PM. The first hour was kayaking, followed by 30 minutes of snorkeling and 30 minutes of paddleboarding. Kayaking requires a lot of strength and can be surprisingly tiring, so I was quite satisfied with just one hour. Once you head out to sea, it can get quite bumpy, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're not confident. Since it was just the two of us that day, we were able to go at a leisurely pace, which was very enjoyable. I think it's a great course that allows you to experience a variety of activities in just two hours.

午後14時からの2時間コースを体験しました。初めの1時間はカヤック、そのあと30分シュノ―ケリング、30分パドルボードという感じでした。カヤックは力が必要で意外と疲れるので1時間で十分満足でした。沖に出ると結構揺れるので自信の無い方は酔い止めを飲むことをオススメします。この日は自分たち二人だけだったので、のんびりペースで出来とても楽しかったです。
いろいろ体験出来て2時間のちょうど良いコースだと思います。

We visited with our family of three (10-year-old boy) on March 27, 2013. The water was very clear, and we were able to see many tropical fish. However, since the water temperature wasn't very high, it was too cold for long snorkeling sessions. But we had a great time with activities like the slide and jumping from the Fair Wind boat, which were fun for the kids. Additionally, since breakfast and lunch were included, we were able to make good use of our time before and after the tour, which was very nice.

Reviewed by: 小野塚台の食いしん坊

In February 2012, I was deeply impressed, and on February 14, 2013, I came back again. It was me, my 89-year-old grandmother, my 67-year-old self, my 65-year-old wife, and my 60-year-old brother-in-law who is retiring this February. We had a wonderful time.

This year, just like last year, we stayed for two nights in Hilo, three nights in a condominium in Waikoloa, and three nights in Waikiki. Unusually, I fell ill this time and just recovered yesterday (February 13).

We were able to see whales again, and I was particularly moved by the dolphins' welcoming behavior. When the boat arrives near the snorkeling spot, a large number of dolphins come to greet us and support the boat until it stops. They even see us off partway on the way back (it’s unbelievable).

We enjoyed delicious breakfasts and lunches, saw beautiful corals and fish, and had a great time with friendly foreigners. This time, we were the only Japanese family, but the foreign tourists seemed to be having a great time, which made it very comfortable for us.

The water was cold, so my wife said, "Next time, I want to come in spring or summer." I promised to include some photos this time, but they are all taken from the video (Sony). Speaking of videos, the staff here have professional video skills. They used wonderful Sony equipment. They even film underwater, which makes for great memories.

Last time, I bought a video (DVD) and enjoyed it, so this time I had one sent for my brother-in-law. This tour is highly recommended as it can be enjoyed by everyone from babies to the elderly.

We participated in the morning plan on February 2, 2012, and all three of us were very satisfied!! I've been to Hawaii about ten times, but since coming to the Big Island, I've fallen in love with this place and have been coming here for four consecutive years. I usually stay at a condominium in Waikoloa, but this time we also spent two nights in Hilo and were satisfied after seeing the red flames of Kilauea at night before returning to our "home" in Waikoloa.

I usually play around snorkeling in the nearby sea. I was interested in this tour and wanted to go, but I thought it wouldn't be right to go alone while leaving my wife and grandmother behind. However, I reconsidered because:

1. The boat is large and stable.
2. It has clean restrooms.
3. Breakfast, lunch, drinks, and fruit are included.

With these conditions, my grandmother could just enjoy watching from the boat.

I was deeply moved and impressed after participating for the first time. My English is limited to what I learned in middle school, so I was worried. Luckily, there was a young Japanese sister on board, and I asked her to help me if I didn't understand something, but I managed to get by on my own.

Along the way, we saw whales, and just before we arrived at our destination, we were welcomed by a pod of dolphins. The staff and crew were enthusiastic and cool, and their commitment to ensuring each guest had a great time was palpable.

The sea was clear, with coral reefs and schools of tropical fish. Most of the guests seemed to be Americans, and everyone, young and old, was lively and friendly. There was no need for words...

Honestly, I wish I understood more English. The beautiful and clean boat eased my grandmother's initial worries, and she even asked, "When are we going again?"

Even without getting in the water, she enjoyed watching everyone play in the beautifully clear coral reef from the boat. The staff filmed the experience, so I quickly purchased the video and watch it from time to time.

My younger brother, who was watching it with me, is retiring this year, and he wants us all to go together as a celebration, so we’ve already made a reservation for February 14, 2013. I’m looking forward to it!

Whether in winter or summer, the water is nice, but it can be cold when you get back on the boat, so I need to remember to bring a large towel or a yacht parka.

The most important thing is to "have fun together." Among the things to bring for this tour, it mentions bringing sunglasses and also an "adventurous spirit." I really love this feeling.

I can't wait to go again!

2012年2月2日のモーニングプランに参加し、3人とも大満足!!
ハワイ旅は10回位ですが、ハワイ島に来てからここが大好きになって4年連続で来ています。いつもワイコロアのコンドミニアムがメインですが、今回はヒロにも2泊して夜のキラウエアの赤い炎も見て満足してからワイコロアの「我が家?」に。
何時もは近くの海でシュノーケルしたりして遊んでいました。私はこのツアーに興味を持って『行きたい』と思っていましたが妻とお婆ちゃんを残して一人で行ってもナー。とあきらめていましたが、
1.この船は大きくて、揺れない。
2.きれいなトイレが付いている。
3.朝食、昼食、飲み物、果物付き。
この条件ならお婆ちゃんは、船の上で見ていればイツカー。
と、初めて参加してみて感激、感動。
私の英語は、中学の義務教育のみで心配、たまたま若い姉妹の日本の方がいらしたので「わからない時は、助けてネ」とアプローチお願いしましたが何とか自力でクリアー出来ました。
途中、鯨も見えて、現場に付く直前にイルカの群れの歓迎です。
スタッフ、クルーのテンションの高さとカッコよさ、そして安全配慮と、お客様を一人一人どうやって楽しましてやろうという気持ちがガンガン伝わって来ます。
海は透明、珊瑚礁と、熱帯魚の群れ。
ほとんどのお客様はアメリカ人~ だと思いますが皆さん老いも若きも元気、元気。とってもフレドリーで楽しい。
言葉、いらない・・・・
本音は「もっと英語がわかればナー」
綺麗な船で清潔なので,・・・・当初、心配していたお婆ちゃん「今度、いつ行くノー」だって。
海に入らなくても、船上から綺麗に澄んだ珊瑚礁で遊んでいる皆を見ていて楽しんでいます。
スタッフがビデオを撮ってくれていたので早速購入して時々見ています。
これを一緒に見ていた弟も、今年定年退職なので記念に皆で行きたいということで、
2013年2月14日また、予約してしまいました。楽しみでーす。
冬でも夏でも、・・・海の中は良いのですが船に上がった時寒いときがあるようなので大きいタオルや、ヨットパーカーなど忘れないように気をつけよう。
一番大切なことは、「皆で思い切り楽しむ」ことかな。
このツアーにも、持って行くものの中にサングラス等と一緒に
【冒険心】と書いてあります。
この気持ち、だーい好きです。
また

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

Kayak tour カヤックツアー

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Since it was just the two of us on the day, we were able to go at our own pace, and the staff was always attentive, making it a very enjoyable tour. The snorkeling had great visibility and there were lots of corals!! They took many photos for us and sent them via email later. We returned to the port before 9 AM, and then we went to Hilo. We made effective use of our time, and it turned out to be a very fulfilling day.

当日は私たち二人だけだったので、自分たちのペースで進むことができ、スタッフの方も常に気をつかってくれてとても楽しいツアーでした。シュノーケリングも透明度がよくサンゴがたくさんありました!!
写真もたくさんとって頂き、後日メールで送ってくれました。9時前には港に戻ってくるので、それからヒロへ行きました。
時間を有効に使え、とても充実した一日になりました。

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>

Full of impact! 迫力満点!

Reviewed by: papa

I participated on the day I arrived on the Big Island. Since my hotel was the Kona Coast Resort, it was just a short walk to the Keauhou Shopping Center where the Sea Paradise office is located. I found it cumbersome to confirm my reservation over the phone, so I went directly to the office to do so. (Photo: Since it was from the hotel, the office was in the building immediately to the right after entering from the lower entrance of the shopping center.) You walk past the Hilton to get to the port. They give you a map, so it's easy to find. As mentioned in the reviews, I rented a wetsuit next to the office. Everyone rented one. It takes just a little over 5 minutes from the port to the location where there is an English explanation. There were no other Japanese people besides my family. It's totally fine if you don't understand English. Each person receives a buoy, and (a large foreign man received two) you tuck it under your arm and enter the sea. As noted in the reviews, the best position is near the light. I absolutely recommend it. Mantas come right away, and their power is astonishing. About three of them circle around so closely that you can almost touch them.

Points:
- Be sure to rent a wetsuit.
- Position yourself near the light.
- While you tuck the buoy under your arm on the raft, when on the raft, hold it with your hands and bring the buoy to your feet to view it horizontally. If it's near your upper body, you may get seasick after about 40 minutes.

If possible, bring a digital camera that can record video; you'll be able to capture amazing footage. You can take beautiful pictures even without a flash. Since the manta's movements are fast, photos may come out blurry. I used a LUMIX FT-20 and captured some impressive videos.

If you're hesitating about whether to participate, I can assure you it will be a wonderful memory.

ハワイ島に到着した日に参加しました。ホテルがコナコーストリゾートだったのでシーパラダイス事務所があるケアホウショッピングセンターまでは歩いてすぐでした。電話で予約再確認をするのも面倒だったので直接事務所に行って予約再確認をしました。(写真:ホテルからだったのでショッピングセンターの下側の入り口から入ってすぐの右側の建物に事務所がありました。)港へはヒルトンの前を通っていきます。地図をくれるのですぐにわかります。書き込みにあるように事務所の隣でウェットスーツを借りました。全員借りていました。港からは5分ちょっとくらいで場所につき英語の説明があります。私たち家族以外は日本人はいませんでした。英語がわからなくても全く大丈夫です。うきうき棒を一人ずつもらい、(太っている外人の男の人は2本もらっていました)脇に挟んで海に入ります。書き込みにあったようにライトの近くがベストポジションです。絶対お勧めです。すぐにマンタがやってきてその迫力にびっくり。3匹くらいがほとんど触れるくらいに何度も旋回してやってきます。
ポイント
ウェットスーツは必ず借りる。

ライトの近くに陣取る。

うきうき棒はいかだまでは脇に挟んでいきますが、いかだでは手でいかだをもってうきうき棒は足の先に持っていき水平になって見ます。上半身にあると40分くらい入っていると波酔いしやすくなります。

できれば動画が撮れるデジカメを持っていくと素晴らしい動画が撮れます。フラッシュなしでもきれいに撮れます。写真はマンタの動きが速いのでぶれてしまいます。LUMIX FT-20で撮りましたが迫力ある動画が撮れました。

どうしようかと迷っている方は是非参加されたら素晴らしい思い出になること間違いありません。

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ クジラを探してコナの美しい海岸線をクルージング!ソフトドリンク付き <12~3月/午前・午後/英語ガイド>

Hawaiian Dolphin ハワイアンドルフィン

Reviewed by: にゃんこ

We participated with our nine-year-old child. There were about ten other people, including couples and solo travelers from America. Luckily, we encountered dolphins right after the boat started moving! A group of small Hawaiian dolphins swam around, jumping and spinning three times around the boat. After that, we got ready for snorkeling and entered the sea. We swam with a family of dolphins at the bottom of the clear water. There were also two baby dolphins. After that, we moved to a snorkeling spot with the Captain Cook Monument, where we enjoyed beautiful coral reefs and colorful fish. It was the best memory. They helped by lending a bodyboard with a small window to my scared son. One thing to note is that we listened to an explanation on the boat for about twenty minutes at the beginning, during which my husband and son got completely seasick and ended up getting sick... Motion sickness medication is a must.

九歳の子供と夫婦で参加して来ました。他にはカップル、1人旅のアメリカ人が10人ぐらい。ラッキーなことに船を走らせてすぐにイルカと遭遇!!小柄なハワイアンイルカが沢山群れになって泳いでおり、船の周りでジャンプ&スピンを三回披露。その後シュノーケリングの用意をして海へ入りました。透明度のある海の底で泳ぐイルカの家族と一緒に泳ぎました。赤ちゃんイルカも二頭いました。その後、キャプテンクック記念碑のあるシュノーケリングスポットへ移動して、美しいサンゴ礁とカラフルなお魚達を堪能。最高の思い出が出来ました。怖がりの息子に小窓付きのボディボードを貸してくれて助かりました。注意点としては、最初に船の上で説明を二十分位聞きましたが、その間に主人と息子がすっかり船酔い。戻してしまいました。。。酔い止めは必須です。

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Big Island Kayaking FUN

Reviewed by: Mark Mazzuca

We enjoyed the Keauhou Kayaking Adventure very much. The Staff was outstanding! They were patient and very capable kayakers. One led while the other stayed in the back for those that were a bit slower. We didn't feel rushed or exhausted, as Walter kept the pace based on the group's abilities. We had some pretty decent swells and were not able to get close to the Sea Cave, but the scenery was still incredible. The snorkeling stop was fun, and the Staff had enough masks/snorkels for everyone. There were some first-timers with our group and there were times when they struggled a bit, but in the parking lot afterwards said they had a great time. The Staff, again, was very patient with them and never made them feel like beginners. We own a kayak, so it was easy for us. . .but you may want to rent once on the mainland (or hotel) before you embark on this one, just to make the whole experience a little easier. We were late to the event (got lost), but the Staff waited for us to get

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

It depends on the weather. 天気次第

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I went in early October. The weather was bad, so it was cold, and I got out of the sea in less than 10 minutes. My friend endured the cold and stayed in the water until the last moment, but he was shivering the whole time until we got back.

When the weather is bad and the sun doesn't shine, the perceived temperature is low, and you end up going home without drying off, so it was very cold.

I was able to see dolphins swimming in the distance, and I think if the weather had been good, it would have been a very satisfying snorkeling experience.

10月初旬に行きました。
天気が悪かったので寒くて10分足らずで海から上がりました。
友人は寒いのに耐えてギリギリまで海に入っていましたが上がってから帰るまでの間ずっと震えていました。

天気が悪いと日が差さないため体感温度も低く身体も乾かないままに帰ることになるのでとても寒かったです。

遠くでイルカが泳いでるのを見ることができ天気さえよければ大満足のシュノーケリングが出来たと思います。

Beautiful. 綺麗

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

"Unlike in Japan, snorkeling here is in deeper water, so it might be tough for small children, but if they can swim, there’s no problem."

"It would be even better if they offered paid items for free!"

日本と違って水深があるとこでのシュノーケルなので小さい子は厳しいかもしれないが、泳げれば問題なし。」

有料のアイテムを無料にしてくれてたらなおOK!
