A fun time with dolphins. イルカとの楽しいひととき

Reviewed by: らいと

I had a very enjoyable time with the dolphins. I had many opportunities to touch them. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to swim while holding onto the dolphin's dorsal fin. It was listed as one of the activities, so I thought I would definitely be able to experience it, but I couldn't.

とても楽しい時間をいるかと過ごせました。たくさん触る機会がありました。残念だったのはいるかの背びれにつかまって泳ぐことはできませんでした。アクティビティのひとつに書かれていたので、必ず体験できると思っていたのですができませんでした。

野生のイルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜朝食・昼食付き＞

A snorkeling tour on a boat that is accessible for wheelchair users!♪ 車椅子でも乗れる船でシュノーケリングツアー♪

Reviewed by: Lei

I participated with my husband, who uses a wheelchair, and our sons, who are in fifth and second grade. The deciding factor for us to sign up was the large boat that allows wheelchair access. Since I used to dive a lot during my student days, I wanted my children to experience snorkeling and dolphin watching at accessible points by boat, but it was quite challenging with a wheelchair. I was very happy that we could go this way.

However, the meeting time was early in the morning, and we had to leave the hotel by 6 AM to drive from Waikoloa, which made my sons look sleepy the whole time. That was a bit disappointing. Still, the snorkel, mask, and fins we borrowed were comfortable, and despite it being their first time snorkeling in open water, they weren't scared at all and had a lot of fun. They also loved the noodle, a long floating device. (My husband wasn't feeling well and didn't snorkel, so I'm not sure if he would have supported them if they had wanted to.)

The kids wore life vests, and I only had the noodle, but it was enough to keep me afloat. The fish at the snorkeling spot were honestly fewer in variety compared to places like Okinawa, but I think it was a good experience for the kids' first time.

We also saw dolphins on the way there! We had breakfast (a variety of breads, fruits, and yogurt) before snorkeling, and during the snorkeling time, we could come up whenever we wanted to eat the hamburgers for lunch. The taro chips served at lunch were a favorite of the kids.

On the way back, we had a longer cruise away from the coast to look for big animals (dolphins, whales, mantas, etc.). Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any, but the cookies they handed out during that time were delicious, and my younger son asked for seconds.

It was a half-day tour, but it became a very enjoyable memory! If I could wish for something, I think a tour with a later meeting time and just lunch would be better. By the way, my children and I took motion sickness medication, so we didn't get seasick. My husband seemed a bit unwell, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication just in case, even for those who usually don't get seasick!

車椅子の夫と小学5年生、2年生の息子たちと参加しました。
申し込みの決め手は車椅子のまま乗り込むことができる大型の船、ということでした。
私自身は学生時代ダイビング三昧だったので、船に乗って行けるポイントでのシュノーケリングやイルカウォッチングは子供たちにも体験してほしいことでしたが、車椅子にはなかなかハードルが高く。。今回このような形で行けてとても嬉しかったです。
ただ、集合時間が朝早く、Waikoloaから運転して行くため6時台にはホテルを出なければならず、息子たちは終始眠そうだったのが残念ポイント。。
それでも、貸していただけたシュノーケル＆マスクとフィンが快適で、初めてのオープンウォーターでのシュノーケリングであったにも関わらず全然怖がらず、二人ともとても楽しんでいました。ヌードルという、細長～い浮き具もお気に入りでした。（今回夫は体調もさほど優れずシュノーケリングはしなかったため、やりたいと言えばサポートしてくれたのかどうかは不明です）
子供たちはライフベストを着用、私はこのヌードルだけでしたが、充分浮いていられました。ポイントのお魚は、正直沖縄などよりは種類も少なかったですが、子供たちの初めての体験としてはよかったと思います。
行き帰りにイルカも見られました！
行きに朝食（何種類かのパンと果物やヨーグルトなど）を食べて、シュノーケリングの時間中好きな時に上がって来て昼食のハンバーガーを食べる、という感じでした。昼食で出たタロイモチップスが子供たちのお気に入りでした。
帰りは大物（イルカ、クジラ、マンタなど？）を見つけるために、行きより海岸から離れての長めのクルーズでした。残念ながら遭遇はできませんでしたが、この時間に配ってくれたクッキーが美味しくて、次男はおかわりしていました。笑
半日のツアーでしたが、とても楽しい思い出になりました！
欲を言えば、集合時間遅めのランチだけのツアーがよいかな、と思いました。
ちなみに私と子供たちは酔い止めを飲んで行ったせいか船酔いはしませんでした。夫は少し気分が悪そうでしたので、普段酔わない方も念のため酔い止めをお勧めします！

Dolphin Quest Hawaii - Dolphin Swim & Encounter at Hilton Waikoloa Village

Incredible experience, highly recommend!

Reviewed by: Carol Kromer

This was my second time doing this and it was amazing both times! This time I took my 3-year-old grandson. He was excited up until it was time to get in the water. He started crying and wanting mommy and though she was there she wasn’t planning to get in the pool (I hadn’t paid for her). Anyways, the trainer saw how upset he was and asked him if he wanted to hear the dolphin fart. He stopped crying and watched as she proceeded to make the dolphin make a fart sound. She then offered to let him do it and he did which made him laugh. He then decided the dolphin was pretty cool and ended up petting her and feeding her too. It was so fun spending that time with him and I can’t wait to do it again when my granddaughter is old enough.

With a fun and easy-to-understand guide and captain, I was able to gaze at the vast ocean off the coast of Hawaii while witnessing a large pod of dolphins and the spouts of humpback whales, which was very moving.

We went as a couple but great for families/children also. Had pastries and yogurt for breakfast, burgers for lunch, and cash bar open the entire time. I do wish for the price at least 1 drink could be included, but it was still a great time. We even saw some dolphins following our boat shortly before docking at the end

Reviewed by: Choco

I had a wonderful time in the beautiful weather of Hawaii Island!
We first went offshore to find dolphins, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any. However, it felt great to speed along in the rubber boat!
The snorkeling was also beautiful. I think there might be more variety of fish in places like Kerama in Okinawa. The water clarity was about 25 meters!
After snorkeling for about an hour, we returned while getting explanations about the lava caves along the coastline.

ハワイ島の最高の天気の中、素敵な時間を過ごせました！
最初にイルカを見つけに沖合に出ましたが、残念ながら会えませんでしたでもゴムボートでスピード出して進むのでとても気持ち良かったです！

小1時間シュノーケルした後に戻りながら海岸線の溶岩洞窟の説明などもしてくれました。

The captain exchanged information with other captains and took a detour to an area where we might see dolphins. Sure enough, dolphins came to play around the boat, and we saw them jump twice. Communication is important in everything, isn't it? We also had a great time snorkeling and got to see plenty of yellow fish.

Loved it

Reviewed by: Maja

This was an amazing experience—the dolphins were incredible. We got to hug them, touch them all over, and swim next to them with our hand on their back but not holding on to them. Maddie, our guide, was so warm and informative. I would recommend bringing goggles (swimming or snorkeling) so that you can put your head underwater with your eyes open to see the dolphins swimming under you. I’m surprised that isn’t recommended. Digital photos are VERY expensive ($170 for all of the photos they took, or $55 for one digital photo). That said, it’s a once in a life time experience, so you’ll probably want some photos.

Kealakekua Bay Snorkel & Dolphin Watch Rafting Tour - Kona Ocean Experience

Amazing snorkeling adventure!

Reviewed by: Kevin H

This trip was a wonderful introduction to the great snorkeling in two of the bays on the west coast of Hawaii. Our guide provided all the gear we needed for the water. Our guide was friendly, patient, and knowledgeable about local sea life and the culture and history of the coast we explored. As a family, we were novices at snorkeling but our guide stepped us through getting into and out of the water and directed us to the best areas of the bays to explore. Right out of dock, a pod of spinner dolphins crossed in front of the boat! Flying fish appeared along our route and there were many species of fish and many black sea urchins in both bays. The snacks hit the spot and the cultural history of the bays and coastline were very interesting. After the excursion, we felt we were ready to set off on our own snorkling adventure!

The Path of the Gods! 神々の道！

Reviewed by: Erica

I visited Kealakekua Bay, known as the Path of the Gods. The hotel I stayed at was the Sheraton, which was conveniently located just a short walk from the meeting point. Since it's the end point for the trolley, I think it's easy to get there even if you don't rent a car or stay at the Sheraton.

The guide spoke English and was very knowledgeable about history, answering any questions we had. Additionally, to protect the coral, we were allowed to use environmentally friendly sunscreen for free. The water was truly beautiful, and I was able to see many cute fish! It was February, but I enjoyed myself without a rash guard. It was a bit chilly, so I couldn't stay in the water the whole time... haha. After snorkeling, they provided fresh fruit, snacks, and drinks on the boat! It was really great!

神々の道と言われるケアラケクア湾に行きました。止まっていたホテルがシェラトンだったので歩いてすぐの集合場所で便利が良かったです。トロリーの終点なのでレンタカーしてない&シェラトン宿泊者じゃなくても行きやすいと思います。
ガイドは英語ですが、歴史の知識も豊富で聞けばなんでも答えてくれます。また珊瑚保護のため、環境に優しい日焼け止めも無料で使用させてもらえます。本当に水がキレイな場所なのでたくさんのかわいい魚たちを見ることができました！2月でしたが、ラッシュガードなしで楽しめました。少し寒くてフルタイムで水の中に入っていられなかったですが…笑　シュノーケルの後、船の上でフレッシュフルーツとスナック、飲み物を用意してくれますよ！とても良かったです！

I suffered from seasickness. 船酔いに苦しみました

Reviewed by: たつや

My wife and I participated together. It was a nice day with some waves, but both of us suffered from severe seasickness. While we were snorkeling in the water, it was fine, but once we got back on the boat, the seasickness returned, and we both struggled until we returned to port. That said, the crew's performance and the tour itself were completely fine. The low rating is simply due to our own physical condition. The meeting place was at the beautiful port in Kona, which was also convenient for sightseeing.

妻と二人で参加しました。天気の良い日で波も多少でしたが、自分と妻の両方とも酷い船酔いに苦しみました。シュノーケリングで海の中にいるときは良いのですが船に上がると船酔いが再発して帰港まで二人して苦しみました。とはいえクルーの皆様の働きぶりやツアーそのものは全く問題ないものです。評価が低いのは単純に自分達の体調の問題からの経験です。集合場所は観光にも便利なコナの港でとても綺麗でした。
