ホエールウォッチングクルーズ ＜12～3月／午前／軽食付き／ワイコロアまたはカワイハエ港発＞
初出航ながら運良く大遭遇！
Reviewed by: きゅう
出航して5分ほどで逢えました！
その後も続々とブロー・ブリーチング・テールスラップ・ペックスラップを見せてくれました。
距離はけっして近くなかったけれど、これだけ頻繁に“ダンス”を魅せてくれたので大満足です。
宿泊していたヒルトン・ワイコロアが運良く海側最突端の部屋でしたが、朝や昼に海を眺めていると遠くでブロー＆ブリーチングをしている姿が見えます。
ツアーに参加したのは3月初旬でしたが、頻繁に出逢えるホエールウォッチングには最適・絶好の時期のようです。
好天に恵まれて、多少の波はありましたが心配していた船の揺れも少なく、快適な船の旅でした。
出航前の待ち時間45～60分ほど。日除けのない砂浜で待つので天気の良い日は十分な日焼け対策と水分補給の準備を！
砂浜から小型のグラスボートで本船まで移動します。足が波に洗われるので濡れてもよい恰好で！

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ 2階建てカタマラン船に乗って壮大なクジラの姿を観察！＜12～3月／軽食付き／英語ガイド／カイルアコナ発＞
クジラは遠くで潮を吹いていました！
Reviewed by: Ken
ハワイは20回近くいっていますが、今まではゴルフ目的でしたが、歳を重ね(79歳)同伴者がいなくなり今回は妻と妻の友達２人でした。
女性陣の希望で初めてホエールウォッチングをしました。
ガイドは英語で理解出来ませんでしたが、船は懸命にクジラを追っているな感じは伝わって跳ねるきましたが、近くでの遭遇出来ず、遠くで微かに吹き上がる潮と跳ねる黒いクジラが一瞬見られました。
大満足は出来ませんでしたが、期待感は十分でした。
帰路船からみるハワイ島の海岸に打ち上げてある白い波しぶきは地上では見られない迫力ある光景でした。
船の軽食はパスタが一品だけで期待ハズレでした。
乗船前に個人情報等をＰＣに入力する作業があり、時間がかかりましたので、乗船時間は余裕を持って行かれると良いと思います。
Thank you for joining us on your first whale-watching adventure and for sharing your experience. We truly appreciate your visit and your feedback. While we’re glad you enjoyed the stunning views of the Big Island’s coastline, we understand that whale sightings can sometimes be at a distance, as these magnificent creatures move freely in their natural habitat. As a proud NOAA-compliant tour operator, we respectfully maintain a distance of at least 100 yards from whales to ensure their safety and well-being while providing the best viewing opportunities possible.
We also appreciate your feedback on the snack offerings and will take it into consideration as we continually strive to enhance our guest experience. Mahalo for choosing Body Glove Cruises, and we hope to welcome you aboard again for another adventure!

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧 水～土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能＜フライト100分／英語パイロット／ワイコロアヘリポート＞
貴重な体験
Reviewed by: なお
ヘリコプターの初搭乗なこともありますが、エキサイティングでした。パイロットさんが日本語でも解説してくれたので、助かりました。まあ、火山活動なので仕方ないですが、キラウエアの赤い溶岩は見られませんでした。あと、滝への着陸ツアーではありませんが、見られると思っていたので少し残念です。
やはり助手席だったらと思います。グループ外の人がパイロット助手席に同乗した場合、その人の服装、振る舞いで、後席の人は快適性、外の見易さに影響アリです。ガイダンス通り暗めの服装をして欲しいです。

説明は英語なので、半端な語力では辛いけど、まあ、なんとかなります(^-^)
とにかく、イルカはかわいいです！
一緒に遊び、泳ぎ、エサやり。貴重な体験でした。
多少、英語が苦手でもチャレンジすべきです。なんとかなります。イルカを大事に思い、インストラクターの動作をよく見れば触って良いところがわかります。

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Tour & Tropical Waterfalls Sightseeing from Hilo
I recommend visiting all the places included in this tour
Reviewed by: Laura J
In general, my family and I had a good experience. Dexter was a fantastic driver and tour guide.
The only thing we did not like is that we had to drop and pick-up people at the airport 3 times, I'd rather spend more time in the rainbow falls than going over and over to the airport.
Be prepare for cook weather, rain, slippery trails, etc.
Aloha and mahalo for your review!
We’re so glad to hear that you and your family had a good experience and that Dexter made a great impression as your driver and guide—he’ll be happy to hear your kind words!
We also appreciate your feedback about the multiple airport stops. We understand how this can affect the flow of the tour, and we’ll be sure to share your comments with our operations team as we continuously look for ways to improve our guest experience.
Thank you for choosing Polynesian Adventure, and we hope to welcome you back again for another island adventure!

海に入りたくない高齢の母と、せっかく初めてのハワイ島だからシュノーケルで海の中を見てみたい私。どちらの希望も叶えてくれたのがこのグラスボートでした。
色とりどりの珊瑚〜とまではいきませんでしたが、予想より水の透明度が高く、そこそこ魚も見られました。イルカも遭遇しましたよ！ヒレしか見えませんでしたが。
スタッフも明るく親切、英語のほとんど話せない私達でも充分楽しめました。
