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>

In the ocean of Hawaii! ハワイの海で!

Reviewed by: キョウ

I had an amazing experience. If there had been a tour like this earlier, I would have wanted to join much sooner!

It was a very comfortable tour, and the captain was a fun person, making for a truly wonderful time.

Above all, encountering the manta rays was impressive, and I was really moved. I want to bring my family along next time!

すごいいい体験をさせてもらいました。
こんなツアーがあるならもっと前から参加したかった!!

すごく快適なツアーで船長さんも楽しい人でとてもすばらしい時間を過ごせました。

なによりもマンタに出会えたことが印象的で、本当に感動しました。
こんどまた家族を連れて参加したいと思っています!!

Swimming with wild manta rays! I participated in a night snorkeling cruise.

I was nervous since it was my first night dive, but the ocean at night was incredibly beautiful. On top of that, being able to see such large manta rays made it an unforgettable experience.

I think this tour is a must for anyone wanting to fully enjoy the waters of Hawaii!

The manta rays at night were quite impressive! I had only seen them on TV, but they come so close. I was surprised!!

The manta rays were amazing, but the night dive itself was quite mystical. The guide was very kind, and it really feels like it will become an unforgettable memory!

夜のマンタなかなか迫力ありました!

It was an amazing experience! I never thought I would see manta rays up close like this. At first, I was a bit scared, but I quickly got used to it and really enjoyed it! I was so caught up in swimming that time just flew by. I wanted to swim more!!

If I have the chance again, I would love to participate. I don't think I would ever get tired of it!

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>

Amazing! 凄い!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

In mid-March, my husband and I participated in a night manta snorkeling and diving tour departing from Kerama Islands. The sight of the mantas gracefully swimming, attracted by the blue light and plankton, was incredibly beautiful, and it gradually felt like we were flying in the sky. It felt like we were watching it on TV, but at one point, a manta came so close that we were worried it might bump into us! It was an amazing experience like no other—just incredible!

☆ It’s quite far from the hotel we stayed at, and there’s no shuttle service, so I think it would be convenient to stay at the Sheraton if you’re not using a rental car.
☆ After boarding, we arrived at the spot in about 10 minutes, and the boat didn’t rock too much.
☆ You can hold onto a floating pole, and since it rests against your legs and waist, I think even those who are not good at swimming will be fine.
★ Although we wore wetsuits, the water temperature was low, and gradually I lost feeling in my hands; it was so cold that by the end, it felt like a training session.
★ I managed to get by with mimicking others, but I didn’t understand the English explanations at all. Still, it was definitely worth it! I highly recommend it!

3月中旬 ケラホウベイから出発するナイトマンタシュノーケリング&ダイブへ夫と2人で参加しました。ブルーライトとプランクトンに集まってくるマンタがとても優雅に泳いでいる姿はとても美しく、次第に空を飛んでいるような感覚になります。TVでも見ている気分でしたが、途中驚くほどマンタが近くにやってきたんです!ぶつかってしまうかもと心配するほど。今までにない素晴らしい体験、凄い!の一言です。

☆私たちが泊まったホテルからはとても遠く、送迎もないためため、レンタカーを使用しない方はシェラトンに泊まれば便利かなと思います
☆乗船し、10分ぐらいでポイントに到着、それほどユレは気になりません
☆棒状の浮に捕まり、棒状の浮を足や腰に当てるので泳ぎが苦手の方も大丈夫だと思います
★ウエットスーツは着るものの水温が低かったため、次第に手の感覚がなくなり、寒くて寒くて最後の方は修行のような気分に
★見よう見まねで何とかなりましたが、英語の説明がさっぱりわかりませんでした
  それでもやって大正解!お勧めです!

Swim with manta rays. マンタと泳ぐ

Reviewed by: maki

I participated in a night manta snorkeling and diving event at Keauhou Bay, which is about a 20-minute drive from Kailua-Kona. It's the only spot in the world where mantas gather. It seems that it's not very well-known in Japan, as I was the only Asian participant. There was no transportation provided, and of course, all the guides spoke English.

Even though it's always summer in Hawaii, it was still winter. By the end, I was shivering from the cold. On top of that, I felt quite seasick. A friendly British lady I got to know gave me a ride back. She was really nice!

I couldn't speak English well, and it had been 10 years since I last snorkeled. It was my first time in deep water, and at night! But somehow, I managed.

The mantas gather to feed on plankton attracted by the lights from the hotel. So, it turns out you can't see them on nights with a full moon. In the evening, we took a boat out to sea, shone lights on the water's surface, and waited for the mantas to gather before diving after sunset! That night, five mantas came to join us. The scuba team was below, and the snorkeling team was above. The mantas came right up to the surface of the water; it felt like they were about to bump into me.

The mantas seemed to be dancing, gliding through the water with grace. They had cute, round eyes and mouths like the character from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. It was a magical experience.

kaila konaから車で20分位の所に有るkeauhou bayというとこで行われている、ナイトマンタシュノーケル&ダイブに参加してきました。マンタが集まる世界で唯一のスポット。日本ではあまり知られていないらしく、参加者はアジア人は私一人。送迎も何もなく、もちろんガイドも全部英語。

常夏ハワイとはいえやっぱり冬。終えた頃には寒さで体がガタガタに震えてました。加えて波酔いもwかなりグロッキー。
仲良くなったイギリス人のおばちゃんに帰りは送ってもらいました。いい人w

英語ももちろん話せないし、シュノーケル自体も10年ぶり、足の着かない所では始めて、しかも夜!! ま、でも何とかなりました。

マンタはホテルの明かりに集まるプランクトンを食べに集まるそうです。なので?満月の夜は見られないとの事。
夕方ボートで沖に出てわずかの所に、ライトを海面に当て、マンタが集まるのを待ち、日が落ちてからダイブ開始!この日は5匹のマンタが集まってくれました。
スキューバチームは下から、シュノーケルチームは上から。
マンタは海面すれすれまで上がってきます。体にぶつかりそうでした。
マンタたちはまるで踊ってるかの様。水中を飛んでいます。優雅な舞です。
かわいいつぶらな目、風邪の谷のナウシカのキョシンヘイの様な口の中。
幻想的な時間でした。

A storm of emotion!! 感動の嵐!!

Reviewed by: まこと

The large spotlight placed at the bottom of the water created an emerald green sea even in the surrounding darkness. With divers sitting on the seabed, bubbles were rising from below. Plankton were gathering in droves attracted by the light, and schools of fish were also gathering, creating a scene that was truly mystical and vibrant, reminiscent of a dragon palace! And the mantas dancing above the divers!

I heard there were twelve tonight, with some over 4 meters long, gracefully circling while feeding on plankton!

It was simply amazing. After a while, the mantas were drawn to our lights as well, coming right up to the light we were holding, spinning and showing their bellies just before touching it. They did this over and over again! Seeing a manta nearly 4 meters long swimming in front of me was an indescribable experience! I had always admired them, and to have one come so close (it felt like we might collide) was incredible!

I was screaming with my colleagues so loudly that even the divers on the seabed could hear us!

It was truly a wonderful experience. I still feel like I'm on the boat!

写真のようにでっかいスポットライトを水の底に入れてあるから、周りが真っ暗でもそこら一帯がエメラルドグリーンの海になってました。
ダイバーたちが海底に座っているからコポコポと泡が下から昇ってきて。
光につられてプランクトンが一杯集まっているから魚も群れ単位で集まっていて、まさに龍宮城って言えるくらい神秘的で華やかな光景でした!それにダイバーたちの上を踊るマンタたち!!
今夜は12頭いたらしいのですが、大きいものでは4m以上のもいて、踊るように回りながらプランクトンを食べてるんですよ!!

もぉ素晴らしい、の一言でした。
それからしばらくしたらうちら(シュノーケリングしてる人)の光にも誘われて、ホント手に持ってるライトの下まで来て、ライトを触るか触らないかの寸前にくるっとお腹を見せながら回転するんです。しかもそれを何回も何回も!!
目の前で4m近いマンタがクルクルと泳ぐ姿はまさに感無量!!
憧れだったので、しかもこんなに近くに(ホントぶつかるかと思ったくらい近かったです)マンタが来るなんて!!
はぁ~~~海底にいたダイバーにまで聞こえるくらい仕事仲間とギャーギャー叫んでましたww

でもホント素晴らしい体験でした。
でもってまだ船の上にいる気分ですww

When I first entered the sea, I saw a manta ray up close!! Its big mouth was wide open, and the manta ray's head was really close to me, which was such a surprise!! However, in the next moment, it was swimming gracefully!

About 45 minutes later, 7 or 8 beautiful manta rays swam over to us. They were quite large, and I was amazed!

最初に海に入ったとき、マンタをすぐそばでみました!!
大きな口をあけてほんとにすぐそばにマンタの頭があって、すごくビックリしました!!

I participated in the night snorkeling at Sea Paradise where I could swim with manta rays! I was able to see the large manta rays that eat plankton. I had no idea there were tours that offered such a beautiful and wonderful experience!

One time wasn't enough, so even though it was my last day, I booked the shallow scuba diving again. It was, of course, amazing!! When I returned to the boat, a pod of dolphins was waiting for us. One of them kicked my foot! There were about 20 dolphins around the boat, so I jumped into the sea. They swam away quickly, but I think I swam with the boat for about 5 minutes.

If you want to experience snorkeling and scuba diving, you should definitely join the tour at Sea Paradise in Kailua-Kona!!

シーパラダイスのマンタと泳げるナイトシュノーケリングに参加しました!プランクトンを食べる大きなマンタを見ることが出来ました。
こんなにきれいですばらしい体験ができるツアーがあるなんでぜんぜん知りませんでした!

一回じゃ物足りなかったので、最終日でしたが浅瀬のスキューバダイビングをもう一度予約してしまいました。もちろん素晴らしかったです!!
ボートに戻るとイルカの群れが待っていました。そのうちの一匹が私の足を蹴ってきました!ボートの周りには20匹ほどのイルカがいたので、海に飛び込みました。すぐにいってしまったのですが、5分くらいはボートと一緒に泳いでいたと思います。

Manta rays come super close! マンタが超接近!

Reviewed by: シュノ−ケラ−

About 15 minutes by boat, two staff members held lights and illuminated from below, attracting a manta ray that approached us. Before the tour, we were warned not to touch the manta rays, but even though I didn't reach out, the manta came close and spun around, brushing against my body. Eventually, four manta rays gathered, and it was truly moving. I felt like I was able to see them up close more than when diving.

At first, I was watching from the surface, but when I got the signal that it was okay to dive, I was able to see them from below as well. Other travelers from Spain and Australia participated, and everyone was shouting "Wow! Wow!" continuously. I would love to visit the Big Island again just to participate in this tour.

船で15分ほどの所でまずスタッフが二人ライトを持って潜り下から上へライトで照らすとマンタが1匹寄って来ました.ツア−前に絶対マンタには触らないことと注意を受けましたが自分では触らないのにマンタの方から接近して来て体すれすれで回転するので体が触れるのです.
そのうち4匹集まって来て感動です.ダイビングをするよりも近くでマンタを見れたと思います.
最初は水面から見ていたのですが、潜ってもいいと合図があったので潜って下からも見上げる形でも見る事ができました.私以外にスペイン、オ−ストラリアからの旅行者が参加していました.全員ウォ−!ウォ−!の連続でした.
このツア−に参加するだけにもう1度ハワイ島を訪れたいぐらいです.

It was my first time snorkeling, and I had a wonderful experience. The ocean was very beautiful, and I could see fish up close. The hamburger for lunch had a deliciousness that can only be enjoyed outdoors, and I ended up eating a lot because I was greedy. I also got to see dolphins, even if just for a moment, and it was a very satisfying tour. I think it would be even better if there were plans that included transportation.

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

Beautiful Experience

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The experience with the mantas was the highlight of our honeymoon. They are beautiful, amazing creatures and spending time with them was fantastic. The scuba diver who attracts the mantas also filmed it and it was the one DVD/picture set that we bought of all of our tours. We really loved the animals, but hte experience was so-so. Do NOT go on this tour if you are not comfortable snorkeling, as they really do not hold your hand--you go in the water in the dark and there isn't really a lifeguard or somebody making sure that you are with the pack. Its fine if you are comfortable, just be warned. The only other downside was the other people on the boat with us who, instead of passively watching the creatures and taking their turn with them, swam over on top of us every time the manta were near us. We got kicked in the head by stranger's fins and we have it all on tape! I might recommend trying to get somebody to take you on a personal charter for this beautiful experience, it would probab

I would not reccomend this trip for a first time kayaker. The water was a little ruff on the way back which made it a long row. For the dare devils there was a 15 foot cliff to jump off.

I participated on September 6th. It was an afternoon course.
I've been visiting the Big Island for five years, and until now, I've only spent my time with volcanoes, golf, or driving...
But I had no idea there were such wonderful sea activities!
The water is incredibly clear, and you can see the corals and fish very vividly. I want to go again!
Kealakekua Bay, which has been a sacred place since ancient times, still has limited access for boats entering the bay. All the staff from the tour company were foreigners, so Japanese wasn't spoken, but it wasn't a problem at all.
You can also spend time at a nearby shopping center before and after the tour, which is convenient.

For afternoon tours, they mentioned that light snacks would be provided, but it was just a small amount of snacks and cut fruits, so I recommend eating something beforehand.
We bought ahi rolls (sushi) and soup at the KTA supermarket in the nearby Keauhou Shopping Center and ate them on a bench before going. You can also enjoy a stunning sunset from that shopping center on the way back.

9/6に参加しました。午後からのコースです。
ハワイ島に行きはじめて5年、今までは火山かゴルフかドライブか・・・という過ごし方しかしてきませんでした。
が、海のアクティビティでこんなに素晴らしいものがあったとは!?
海の透明度は非常に高く、サンゴや魚たちがとっても鮮明にみられます。もう一度行きたい!
昔から神聖な場所であったケアラケクア湾、いまだに湾に入れる船は限られているとのこと。ツアー会社のスタッフは全員外人さんなので、日本語は通用しませんが特に問題はありませんでした。
ツアーの前後は、近くにあるショッピングセンターで過ごすこともできるので便利です。

午後からツアーの場合は、軽食がでるとありましたが、少量のスナックとカットフルーツだけなので、事前に腹ごしらえをしてから参加することをオススメします。
私たちは近くのケアウホウショッピングセンターにあるスーパーKTAでアヒ巻き(巻きすし)とスープを買ってベンチで食べてから行きました。帰りもそのショッピングセンターから極上のサンセットが見られます。

I participated in the Fair Wind morning cruise. Above all, it was wonderful that they provided a "box snorkel" for someone like me who struggles with breathing through snorkel gear! It's the kind of equipment used for catching sea snails, with a box that has glass, allowing for excellent visibility of the crystal-clear underwater world. However, it seems that the number is limited, so I recommend expressing that you can't swim to get one! They also lent me a banana-shaped float to wear around my waist and a black inner tube, so there's absolutely no need to worry for those who are anxious about swimming. People of all ages, from small children to the elderly, were enjoying snorkeling.

In a calm bay with almost no waves, I was able to observe a wide variety of fish, and during lunchtime, we even encountered a pod of dolphins swimming offshore from the deck of the boat! Lucky people must have been able to swim quite close to them. They also film everything from boarding to underwater, so couples on their honeymoon might want to actively get filmed and purchase the DVD as a nice keepsake. I appreciated that the crew did not pressure for tips when disembarking. The clarity and calmness of the water are significantly better than at Hanauma Bay.

ある方でも全く心配ありません。小さな子供から、かなりの年配の方まで、シュノーケリングを楽しんでいました。
波がほとんどない穏やかな湾で、魚の種類も実に多く観察でき、ランチタイムには船のデッキから、沖を行くイルカの群れにも遭遇できました!ラッキーな人は、かなり近くを泳ぐことができたはずです。乗船時から水中まで、DVD撮影をしてくれますので、ハネムーンに来たカップルなどは積極的に映してもらってDVDを買うのも、良い記念になると思います。降りるときに、クルーの人たちがチップを強要しない所も好感がもてました。透明度と波の穏やかさは、ハナウマ湾より格段上です。

Following my visit to Mauna Kea in February, I signed up for this tour and it was a great decision. It seems that this location is not accessible to the general public, and when I asked locals, they mentioned they had participated several times with their families. There appear to be many repeat visitors. Although there is no Japanese support, it didn't pose any problems for us.

As for the meeting point, while the main map clearly indicates the location, it can be quite confusing, so I recommend allowing extra time to get there. We did a preliminary visit the day before.

The weather was good, and even so, snorkeling in the ocean felt like entering another world. Especially in the shallow areas, various tropical fish swam close enough to touch, which was truly moving. We also enjoyed diving from the slide, feeling like kids again.

However, in the shallow areas, be careful not to damage the coral and watch out for sea urchins. I accidentally touched a sea urchin and got a spine stuck in my finger, which was quite painful. It was difficult to remove. I was advised to wrap it with paper soaked in vinegar, which did help, but I felt it would be better to have preparations for removing spines on hand.

It's rare to find a tour that makes you want to participate again and again. I highly recommend it.

 2月のマウナケアに続き、こちらに申し込みましたが、大正解でした。ここは一般では行けない場所のようで、現地の方に聞いても家族で数回参加しているとのこと。リピータも多いようです。日本語対応ではありませんが、本旨には問題ありません。
 現地集合の場所ですが、主な地図には場所が明記されているものの結構迷いますから、時間には余裕を持って出かけたほうが良いと思います。私たちは前日に一度下見をしました。
 天気はよかったのですが、それでもシュノーケルをつけて見渡す海中は別世界。特に浅瀬では手が届くところに様々な熱帯魚が泳ぎ回り、感動ものです。滑り台からのダイブも、二人で童心に返って楽しみました。
 ただ、浅瀬ではサンゴを傷つけないよう、またウニに注意です。私は知らずにウニに触ってしまい、棘が指に刺さって痛い思いをしました。なかなか抜けないのです。酢を浸した紙で包んでおくと浮き出してくると教わり、実際そうだったのですが、刺抜き等の準備はしておいていただいた方が、とは感じました。

 何度でも参加したくなるツアーはそうありません。お奨めです。

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

Best time in Hawaii!!!

Reviewed by: Aaron; Rockford, IL

I was in Hawaii for a week and did a number of activities including shark cage swim, swimming with dolphins, Polynesian magic show, manta ray dive, 2-tank scuba dive, and the Polynesian cultural center, and this was my favorite of all of them. Even better...it was the least expensive!!! The snorkeling left something to be desired, but the kayaking itself and the cliff jump more than made up for that! I HIGHLY recommend this activity! Thanks Johnny, Kevin, and Jasmine!

I believe everyone who has the chance to go on this tour should go!

The price is perfect, the deep blue ocean is beautiful, and YOU CAN MEET DOLPHINS!! I have never experienced seeing wild dolphins in such huge numbers and hearing their sounds! It is one of the best experiences I have ever had!

If you go to Hawaii, be sure to check out this trip!

It was a pleasant tour! 気持ち良いツアーでした!

Reviewed by: ALOHA娘

My husband and I participated together. Since it was a tour without a Japanese guide, we were the only Japanese participants, but we received a Japanese guide (notices, etc.) during check-in, so as long as you have some experience with snorkeling and can communicate in English to some extent, you can enjoy it without any problems!

It was an afternoon tour, and we were blessed with good weather. The boat trip to the Captain Cook monument was very pleasant (my husband did feel a bit seasick, though...). We saw a lot of fish, and we were very satisfied to see a large turtle at the start of the trip.

Also, it was appealing that it was a tour without transportation since we had rented a car. However, I think it would be tough without a rental car. The parking was vaguely marked as Keauhou Bay, so I was a bit unsure about where it was, but when we actually went, a kind local man helped us out, so it wasn't a problem!

This is one of the tours I would like to join again if I have the time.

ダンナと2人で参加しました。日本語ガイドがないツアーのため日本人参加者は我々だけでしたが、チェックイン時に日本語のガイド(注意書きなど)が渡されるので、あとはシュノーケルツアーに参加したことがある方、少しでも英語でコミュニケーションがとれる方であれば問題なく楽しめます!
午後からのツアーでしたが、天気にも恵まれ、キャプテンクック碑まで行く船旅もとても気持ちよかったです。(ダンナは若干船酔していましたが・・・)
魚もたくさん見れましたし、出発時には大きなカメも見れて大満足です。
また、レンタカーを借りていたので送迎なしツアーであったことも魅力でした。ただ、レンタカーなしの場合は厳しいと思います。駐車場はケアウホウ湾とおおまかに記されていたので若干どこかな~と思いましたが、実際に行ったら近所のおじさんが親切に教えてくれたので問題なかったです!
時間があればまた参加したいツアーのひとつです。

It became a great memory. いい思い出になりました。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated in an afternoon cruise. We were looking forward to swimming with the fish, and it was a wonderful experience. There were many colorful fish around the coral reef, and it felt like we were swimming in an aquarium.

The day we participated was cloudy, so perhaps because of that, the seawater was colder than we expected, and I was a bit surprised when I first entered the water. However, once in the sea, I had such a great time that I forgot about the cold. The cruise and snorkeling created very lovely memories. Next time, I definitely want to meet dolphins.

私たちは午後のクルーズに参加しました。魚たちと一緒に泳ぐのを楽しみにいきましたのでとてもいい経験をしました。サンゴ礁の周りにはたくさん、色とりどりの魚がいて、水槽の中を泳いでいるようでした。
参加した日は、曇りだったからなのか、海水が思ったより冷たく、最初は海に入る時は少しビックリしました。しかし、海の中では冷たさを忘れるくらい楽しい時間をすごせました。クルーズして、スノーケリングできて、とても素敵な思い出となりました。今度は是非、イルカにも会いたいです。
