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>

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

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 ray tour is really amazing! マンタツアーはほんとすごい!

Reviewed by: ふみ

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!!
ですが、次の瞬間には優雅に泳いでいました!

残り45分くらいで7、8匹の美しいマンタが私達のところまで泳いできました。結構大きくてびっくりしました!

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>

A wonderful experience where you can encounter manta rays! マンタにであえる素晴らしい体験!

Reviewed by: maru

I participated in a snorkeling tour where I could meet manta rays!! The boat was large and very comfortable. The snorkeling equipment available for rent was well-equipped. They provided a video explaining the precautions before snorkeling.

I encountered a manta ray named Bersa, the largest one. I met other manta rays as well, but Bersa was very friendly and bumped into me several times!

It was the most beautiful experience I've ever had!!

マンタに会えるシュノーケリングツアーに参加しました!!
ボートは大きく、すごく快適でした。貸し出し用のシュノーケリング用具は充実していました。
シュノーケリング前にビデオで注意事項など説明してくれます。

バーサという一番大きいマンタに出会えました。ほかにもマンタに出会えましたが、バーサはすごくひとなつっこくて、なんどもぶつかってきました!

私が経験した中で一番美しい体験でした!!

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>

Snorkeling is the best!! シュノーケリング最高!!

Reviewed by: りょう

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。

シュノーケリングとスキューバダイビングを体験したいならカイルアコナのシーパラダイスのツアーに参加すべきです!!

Manta rays and snorkeling! マンタとシュノーケリング!

Reviewed by: yuuki

Last week, I participated in manta snorkeling. It was truly a wonderful experience!
My family experienced snorkeling for the first time. It was an amazing experience to be able to snorkel and meet mantas!!

Next time, I plan to go snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, but I definitely want to participate in manta snorkeling again.

先週マンタシュノーケリングに参加しました。ほんとうに素晴らしい体験でした!
家族で初めてのシュノーケリングを体験しました。シュノーケリングができ、さらにマンタに会えてすごい体験でした!!

次回はケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングを予定してますが、マンタシュノーケリングにもぜひもう一度参加したいです。

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>

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.

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

E.T. encounter

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

So if I'd explain this experience to someone, I'd say that it was like meeting with E.T. underwater. It's just very unique and almost spiritual experience to see them underwater at NIGHT. If you are comfortable in the water, do this tour. You won't regret it.

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

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

an experience of a lifetime!

Reviewed by: ashley

This was an amazing experience to witness. You are probably five minutes off the shore by the sheraton resort and are left to swim with huge manta rays that swim right up next to you. It is a little scary at first but after the first few minutes you get used to it. The staff on the boat are very friendly and pretty humorous. You definitly get your moneys worth on this activity because you are in the water for about 45 minutes and they dont let you get in until a manta ray shows up so your time with the manta rays isnt wasted. The only bad things I have to say about this activity which was kind of a personal problem was that I got stung in the butt my something. It hurt pretty bad but the stinging went away in about a hour. I dont think anyone else had this problem though so I wouldnt be too worried about it. I would definitly sign up for this activity is I was you!
