Deluxe Captain Cook Snorkeling Tour at Kealakekua Bay - Fair Wind Cruises

Professional and Fun Group!

Reviewed by: Claire

Elvis and the crew are great fun, they really seem to enjoy there jobs. You would think taking boat loads of tourist out everyday they would get old, if it does they hide it well. They are a safe group and care for the island they are sharing with you. On the way back he turned the boat around to get us a better look at a beautiful Manta Ray. Well worth the time and money!!

The office staff is also great, they will call you to confirm, give you directions, answer questions. Really a great group, not a "sketchy tourist trap"!

マンタ大学夜学部　野生のマンタ＆ナイトシュノーケリングツアー ＜送迎可／日本語スタッフ乗船日あり＞

A wonderful experience full of excitement! 素敵な体験が盛り沢山‼

Reviewed by: Miyuki Yukawa

First, when we arrived at the harbor and headed to the meeting point, the staff member, Tori-chan, greeted us very cheerfully and friendly! On that day, there were two couples, my husband and I, and a newlywed couple, along with four Japanese staff members from Honolulu participating.

Despite the small number of people, we got to ride on a large rubber boat! The edge of the rubber boat was designed like a banana boat, allowing us to enjoy activities while watching the beautiful sunset. As soon as we arrived, the sun began to set, and we all enjoyed the stunning sunset together, taking photos.

Once the sun went down and we looked at the sea, there were manta rays right there!! We quickly got ready and headed into the water! The sight of three manta rays dancing was exhilarating. Without having to wait for the manta rays to come to us, they approached us repeatedly, coming so close that we could almost touch them!!

The thirty minutes flew by, and the other tour guests returned to the boat. Tori-chan and the other staff members were very attentive, providing support and encouragement to me since I couldn't swim, allowing me to enjoy watching the manta rays without any anxiety. The only downside was that my camera didn’t work well, and I couldn’t take any photos underwater.

On the way back, we enjoyed a relaxing time under the full moonlight and the night view of Kona. With the banana boat ride, sunset, full moon, and night view, this tour offered many wonderful experiences beyond just the manta rays!!

At the end of the tour, we received a cute graduation certificate from Manta University. What kind of certificate it is will be a surprise for those who participate in the tour. Thank you so much, Tori-chan, the captain, and all the staff from Honolulu. Such a wonderful and emotional experience is rare! If you come to the Big Island, I definitely think you should join this tour.

まず、ハーバーに着いて集合場所に向かうと、スタッフの鳥ちゃんがとても明るくフレンドリーに話し掛けてくれました！当日は私たち夫婦と新婚さん夫婦の二組、そしてホノルルから来た日本人のスタッフさん４人の参加でした。
少ない人数ながら、大きいゴムボートに‼
ゴムボートの端じっこはバナナボートみたいになっていて、綺麗な夕日を見ながら、アクティビティーを満喫できます。
到着したと同時に、夕日が沈み始め、すごくキレイなサンセットをみんなで観賞したり、写真を撮ったり。
夕日が沈み、海を見ると、もうマンタがすぐそこに!!
早々に準備し、いざ海へ!
３枚のマンタが踊る姿に興奮がとまりません。マンタが来てくれるのを待つこともなく、次々に３枚のマンタが何度も何度も触ってしまう距離まで
来てくれました!!
あっという間の３０分間が終わり、他のツアー客もみんなボートへ。
鳥ちゃんや他のスタッフさんが泳げない私への声掛けやフォローを丁寧にしてくれて、少しの不安もなく、マンタが踊る姿を楽しめました。ただ、カメラがうまく機能せず、海の中の写真が全然取れなかったのだけが残念です・・。
帰りは、満月の月明かりとコナの夜景にうっとりしながら、まったりとした時間を過ごす事ができました。
バナナボートにサンセット、満月に夜景と、このツアーではマンタ以外にもいくつもの感動が味わえました!!
また、ツアーの最後にマンタ大学のかわいい卒業証書がもらえます。どんな卒業証書かは、ツアーに参加してのお楽しみに。
鳥ちゃん、船長さん&ホノルルスタッフのみなさん本当にお世話になりました。こんな素敵な感動体験はめったにできません！
ハワイ島に来たなら、是非参加してみるべきツアーだと思います。

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＞

You'd be missing out if you don't go. It was definitely not an expensive helicopter cruise. 乗らないと損。決して高くないヘリクルーズでした。

Reviewed by: HONU

The Japanese staff provided a fun and entertaining helicopter cruise tour. We went with the intention of seeing Kilauea Volcano, but we were told that Waipi'o Valley is the number one spot. When we flew through the valley, we saw a rainbow from the waterfall, and I found myself moved to tears.

Since it's a place you can only reach by helicopter, it's definitely not overpriced. The grandeur of nature makes your worries seem insignificant. I can definitely recommend this experience. You can also purchase a DVD with footage of our flight route, the inside of the helicopter, the commentary, and background music (it was around $45). I will definitely ride again next time.

日本語スタッフさんがおもしろおかしくヘリクルーズツアーをしてくれました。
キラウエア火山目当てでいきましたが、ワイピオ渓谷がNo1と伝えられ、いざ渓谷のはざまをヘリで飛び、滝からの虹も見れ、気づいたら感動で泣いてしまったくらいです。
ヘリでしか行けない場所なので、決して高くない。そして、悩んでることとかがちっぽけだと大自然の迫力にやられます。確実におすすめできます。
自分達が飛んだルートやヘリ内の様子、トークやBGMが詰まった世界で1枚のDVDデータも購入できます。（＄45くらいだったかな）次回もまた絶対乗ります。

ドルフィン・クエスト　イルカと触れ合えるプログラムが充実！キッズ向けプログラム＜ヒルトン・ワイコロア・ビレッジ内＞

Kids Quest キッズクエスト

Reviewed by: n-love

The person in charge of my son was an American woman who couldn't speak any Japanese. I think if a child doesn't have at least some English skills, they might feel lost. However, the female instructor who took over during the final dolphin photo session was able to give instructions in Japanese. From what I gathered in casual conversations with the staff, she seemed to be the only one who could speak a little Japanese.

My son, who has sufficient English skills, was able to swim in the lagoon and learn about marine creatures, and he said he had a great time! I believe that if you can understand English, the program is packed with content and worth the price. I was also very satisfied as I took plenty of photos of my child.

Here’s a summary of the program:
We sat in a circle in a hut and introduced ourselves, sharing our names and favorite animals. We were given boards depicting 12 types of marine creatures, which were explained to us.
↓
Then we moved to the lagoon to see those creatures. About three or four people held onto a float while being pulled by the instructor to observe in the lagoon (wearing life jackets).
↓
We returned to the hut to observe and touch small marine creatures indoors.
↓
Next, we moved to the corner of the dolphin pool. We were given boards depicting the fish that inhabit the dolphin pool and observed them (we didn’t enter the pool yet).
↓
Finally, we entered the dolphin pool and met the dolphins. Each child got to touch the dolphins one at a time, and photos were taken each time. (While one child was touching the dolphin, the others were instructed not to touch it.)

After the program, photos can be purchased at the shop by the dolphin pool. I think it was about $50 for three photos, and you could buy them starting from one photo (three photos had the best price).

息子の担当をしてくださった方はアメリカ人女性で、日本語が全く話せない方でした。
コミュニケーションがとれる程度の英語力がないと、お子さんは所在無いと思います。
ただ、最後のイルカ撮影時にチェンジした女性教官は日本語の指示が出せる方でした。
（スタッフの方々とざっくりお話した感じでは、この方だけが日本語が少し話せるようでした）
息子（充分な英語力有）はラグーンで泳げたし海の生き物も教えてもらえたのでとーっても楽しかった！と言っています。
英語が理解できれば、内容盛り沢山で価格に見合ったプログラムだと思いました。
私も子供の写真撮りまくりで大満足です。

以下、内容です。
小屋で円陣を組んで座り自己紹介。自分の名前と好きな動物について発表。
12種類の海洋生物が描かれたボードが配られ、解説してくれる。
↓
それらを見にラグーンへ移動。棒状のフロートに３，４人がつかまり、先生に引っ張られながらラグーンで観察（ライフジャケット装着）
↓
小屋に帰り、室内で小さな海洋生物を観察、触る。
↓
イルカプールの隅に移動。イルカプールに生息する魚が描かれたボードが配られ、それらを観察（まだプールには入らない）
↓
いよいよイルカプールに入りイルカとご対面。基本一人ずつ触り、その都度撮影。
（一人が触ってる時は他の子は触らないように指示されていたそうです）

プログラム終了後はイルカプールサイドの売店で写真が購入できます。
3枚で＄50程度、1枚から購入できたと思います（3枚が一番お得な価格設定）

Reviewed by: Marie 'n' Tom

We payed for the VIP package, and we're really glad we did. Ringside seats made the show amazing, but it wouldn't have been worth it from the nosebleeds. The food was great, with a broad selection anx generous portions. Whilst table service was provided by a delightful and industrious server, the buffet/bar were so easy access that it probably wasn't nescessary. A great show worth a watch.

マンタ大学夜学部　野生のマンタ＆ナイトシュノーケリングツアー ＜送迎可／日本語スタッフ乗船日あり＞

The manta ray is huge!! So exciting! マンタ大きい！！興奮！

Reviewed by: マンタすごい

We participated in this tour for our honeymoon. We chose a tour that gathered at the meeting point, and although we arrived early at the port by rental car, we got lost because the port was so large (we had received a clear map in advance, but I forgot it at the hotel...) and ended up being over 15 minutes late to meet everyone! I felt really bad for making the tour group wait, but the staff welcomed us with smiles, which made me feel so relieved.

Once everything was ready, we finally set sail! The captain sped the boat up, and when I straddled the edge of the boat, it felt like a thrilling roller coaster ride! (Of course, you can also sit inside the boat). The sunset reflecting on the sparkling sea was incredibly beautiful.

Just as our excitement peaked, we arrived at Manta Point. There were many manta tour boats floating on the water, creating a very magical and beautiful scene. Then, we finally got to go into the water! The seawater was a bit warm, and since they provided us with wetsuits, I didn't feel cold at all.

We took out a small floating boat from the main boat and held onto it. I was a bit worried since I can't swim, but the staff assisted us, so there was no problem at all! We set up our snorkels and waited for the mantas while peering into the water.

And then!!! The long-awaited manta appeared! At first, we saw it swimming just below us, which was exciting enough, but then it turned and spun right in front of us! I was thrilled to see the manta so close that I could see its skeleton and gills! Unfortunately, that was the only time it came so close, but we saw several mantas swimming gracefully.

After getting back on the boat, we sped through the dark sea like a roller coaster again. Unlike the outbound trip, the lights from the land were so beautiful against the dark sea.

I was truly excited until the very end! Next time, I definitely want to join the dolphin tour on the Big Island! The staff were bright and fun, and I was very satisfied! Thank you!

現地集合をするツアーにしたのですが、レンタカーで集合場所の港には早めについたものの、港が広くて迷ってしまい（ちゃんと分かり易い地図は予め頂いていたのですが、ホテルに忘れてきてしまって・・・）15分以上遅れてやっと合流できました！ツアーの方をみんな待たせてしまっていたので申し訳なさで緊張していたのですが、スタッフの方が笑顔で迎えてくれて、すごくほっとしました。
そして準備が整い、ついに出港！キャプテンが船をビューっと飛ばして、船のふちにまたがれば、まるでジェットコースターみたいにスリル満点！（船の中で座って乗る事ももちろんできます）。サンセットできらめく海がとても綺麗で素敵でした。

船から小さな浮くボートのようなものをだし、そこにつかまります。私は泳げないので少し心配だったのですが、スタッフの方がアテンドしてくれたので全く問題ないです！
シュノーケルをセットして、水中をのぞきながらマンタを待ちます。
そしてそして！！！念願のマンタが！私達の浮いている下の方を泳いでいるのが最初は見え、それだけでも興奮したのに、次ぎは目の前でくるりと回転してくれたのです！骨格からえらの中まで見れるくらい目の前にいるマンタに大興奮！！残念ながらそこまで近くに来てくれたのはその一回でしたが、何枚かのマンタが優雅に泳いでいるのが見えました。
船に上がって、またジェットコースターのように暗い海を走ります。往路とは違い、暗い海から陸の光がとても綺麗でした。
最後まで本当に大興奮！今度はハワイ島イルカ高校にもぜひ参加したいと思います！
スタッフの方も明るく楽しくて、とても満足です！ありがとうございました！

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

You can enjoy it at your own level. レベルに合わせて楽しめます

Reviewed by: おばちゃんファイター

It turned into a private tour for just one group in the afternoon. Due to the effects of the recent hurricane, there were some waves, and since there were two beginners over sixty, we didn't push ourselves with kayaking or snorkeling. Still, it was enjoyable to paddle and swim on our own, and we were able to see sea urchins, sea cucumbers, and beautiful fish. Kevin was fluent in Japanese and took a lot of photos for us. Afterward, we were able to change at a nearby restroom and took the trolley bus back to our hotel in Kona. Since there was no bus in the 4 PM slot, we waited at the Sheraton Hotel while having tea. If you're worried about seasickness, changing clothes, or managing money, it might be good to inquire beforehand. It's better not to rely too much on information from the internet. If I have another opportunity, I would like to join an early morning tour and enjoy kayaking and snorkeling to the fullest.

午後からの１グループだけのプライベートツアーになりました。先日来のハリケーンの影響？で少し波があり、還暦過ぎの初心者２人でしたから、カヤックもシュノーケリングも無理をしませんでした。それでも、自分で漕ぐ、泳ぐのが楽しくて、ウニやナマコ、きれいな魚をみることができました。ケビンさんは日本語が堪能で、写真もたくさんとってもらいました。終了後は、近くのトイレで着替えることもでき、トロリーバスに乗ってコナのホテルに帰りました。４時台のバスがなかったので、シェラトンホテルでお茶をして時間待ちしました。船酔い、着替え、金銭管理など不安なら問い合わせるとよいかもしれません。ネットの情報を信用しすぎないほうがよいです。また機会があったら、早朝からのツアーに参加して、ゆっくり、めいっぱい、カヤックとシュノーケリングを楽しみたいです。

ワイピオ渓谷　乗馬ツアー　絶景のなかを気軽に乗馬体験 ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞ by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

A valuable experience on horseback along the river. 川を行く馬上での貴重な体験

Reviewed by: マサコ

As everyone has mentioned, we drove down a very steep slope in a 4WD vehicle to the valley bottom. Then, we finally got to ride the horses. The explanations were all in English, which made me a bit worried (or rather, I couldn't understand what was being said), but a Japanese person from the tour who lives in the U.S. helped by translating. Thank you very much! Their son, who looked to be around middle school age, was cute and considerate.

I was worried about whether I could get on the horse properly, but when I managed to do so, they said things like "As expected!" The horseback riding experience was something I had done several times before, and each time I ended up feeling stiff and tired, but this time I was able to enjoy it leisurely in nature.

The path was quite wild. While I felt safe riding the horse itself, we got to see waterfalls along the way and splashed through rivers, which is not something you get to experience often. I think the horseback riding experience in Waipi'o Valley is a recommended tour for nature lovers and those who want to ride horses. Even if you're not fluent in English, you can still enjoy it. However, you won't be able to hear the explanations along the way. It's not because it's in English; it's just that you can't hear when you're further away. So it might be the same in Japanese as well.

皆さんが書いているように、すごい急な坂道を４ＷＤの車で谷底へ。
そしてお待ちかねのお馬さんに乗ります。
説明は全部英語でされるのでなんとなく心配（というかなんといっているか聞き取れない）でしたが、一緒のツアーの在米の日本人の方が通訳をしてくれて助かりました。ありがとうございました。そしてその方の息子さんが中学生くらいなのにかわいくて気遣ってくれました。
うまく馬に乗り移れるか心配だった私がうまく乗り移れると「さすが～」とか言ってくれたりして・・
乗馬体験はなんどかしているいて、そのたびにかちんこちんで疲れるのですが、今回は自然の中でゆったりと楽しめました。
なにしろワイルドな道なんですよ。乗馬そのものは安心して乗れますが・・
途中では滝が見られたり、川をざばざば行ったりとなかなかできない体験ではないでしょうか？
ワイピオ渓谷の乗馬体験は自然派にも、乗馬をしたい人にもおすすめのツアーだと思います。
英語が堪能でなくても、十分楽しめますよ。ただし、道すがらの説明は聞こえません。英語だからではなく離れると聞こえないんです。なので日本語でも英語でも同じかもしれません。

It was a very short trip and we only saw 1 cave and a very small one. The guide was great, however due to the approaching hurricane he said that it was not save going further. I'm not an expert on weather, but the waters/wind did not change for the entire time we were there. If I would've known what it was going to be, I would've prefer they had cancelled the trip and we would have either planned for another day or received our refund.

First Kayaking Experience 初めてのカヤック

Reviewed by: Taro

We visited the Big Island for our honeymoon and participated in this tour with my wife. We were taught the basics of kayaking and then set out to sea! It was a fantastic location with a pleasant breeze, and we were able to paddle gracefully, which made us very satisfied! However, perhaps due to several days of sleep deprivation, my wife started to feel seasick about 20 minutes into paddling... We paddled quite a distance, so I was very happy, but for my wife, it was a time of endurance, haha. I have snorkeled at the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, and I remember being very disappointed because the wind was strong and the water was murky, but the waters around the Big Island were incredibly clear, allowing us to see all the way to the bottom. There were plenty of fish swimming around, and there were corals as well, making for an amazing snorkeling experience. However, by the time I got back on the kayak, I was also feeling seasick... It was a very fun tour, but if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication before participating.

新婚旅行でハワイ島を訪れ、このツアーに妻と二人で参加しました。カヤックの簡単な漕ぎ方を教えていただきいざ海へ！最高のロケーションと心地よい風の中優雅にカヤックを漕げて大満足！しかし、連日の睡眠不足がたたったか漕ぎ始めて20分ほどで妻が船酔いに・・・。結構な距離を漕ぎますので私は大満足だったのですが、妻にとっては我慢の時間帯でした笑私はオーストラリアのグレートバリアリーフでシュノーケリングしたことがありますが、風が強く海も濁っていてとても残念だった記憶があるのですが、ハワイ島の海はとても綺麗で海の底まではっきりと見え、魚もたくさん泳いでおり、さらにサンゴもいて感動のシュノーケリングになりました。ただ泳ぎ疲れてカヤックに乗ったころには私も船酔いに・・・。とても楽しかったツアーでしたが、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲まれて参加されたほうがいいかもしれません。

Horseback riding in a breathtaking landscape. 絶景の中での乗馬

Reviewed by: 自然児

It was the first time for my husband and children to ride horses properly. After a brief explanation in English, each person was assigned a horse, and they quickly got on. From the moment they mounted, they held the reins themselves and started moving! At first, my sons were nervous, but after about 10 minutes, they seemed to be having a great time. They enjoyed the beautiful scenery while riding. Then, after about 30 to 40 minutes, when the instructor asked, "Do you want to try running?" they all nodded and started to run together! My eldest son enjoyed running several times afterward, while my younger son, who was scared, took his time walking, which was nice as everyone could progress at their own pace. After more than an hour and a half of riding, we finished, and it was interesting to see the contrasting feelings between the exhausted parents and the kids who wanted to ride even more. As a side note, it seemed beneficial for my sons, who are learning English, that everything was conducted in English.

ちゃんとした乗馬が初めての主人と子供たち。
英語での簡単な説明の後、一人に一頭の馬があてがわれ、早速乗ることに。
乗った瞬間から手綱を自分で持ち、移動開始！

素晴らしい景色を堪能しながらの楽しい乗馬を満喫していました。
そして30～40分して頃、「走ってみたい？」というインストラクターの一声に頷くと皆で一斉に走り始めることに！
走りを満喫する長男はその後も何度か走りに挑戦、怖いという次男はマイペースに歩き、と個々のペースで進めることもありがたかったです。
一時間半以上の乗馬の後に終了したが、くたくたの親ともっともっと乗っていたかった、ということもたちの感想が対照的でした。
補足ではありますが、英語を学習中の息子たちにとっては英語オンリーであることも良かったみたいです。

Originally, we planned to go to Kilauea, but the moment I saw the helicopter... I couldn't suppress the desire to see everything from above(^^;;

On our last day on Hawaii Island, we had a morning flight at 7 AM to Honolulu, and fortunately, we were blessed with clear skies. We were able to fully enjoy places and views that we could never have accessed on our own, and we had a wonderful time.

The English guide was entertaining and explained things in a clear manner, sometimes seriously, and he engaged with us throughout the flight. At the scenic points, he maneuvered the helicopter 360° so that everyone could see the same view. Thanks to the pilot's kindness and cheerfulness, the atmosphere was relaxed throughout the journey♪
For my husband and me, who were visiting Hawaii Island for the first time, it was the perfect activity.
And this year, our late summer vacation will be... Maui!
I think we will be relying on VELTRA again.
I'm looking forward to it☆

2015年9月25日に利用させていただきました。

さすが、Big Island‼︎
空から眺める景色はどれも圧巻でした。

きっかけは、ハワイ島初日、空港からホテルに向かう途中に見つけたヘリポート、ブルーハワイアンヘリコプターズ‼︎
元々、キラウエアに行く予定でいましたが、ヘリを見た瞬間…上から眺めたい欲望が抑えられませんでした(^^;;

ハワイ島最終日、お昼にはホノルルへ向かう為、朝イチ7時のフライトでしたが、運良く晴天にも恵まれ、決して自分達だけでは行けない場所、見れない景色を十分に堪能でき、素敵な時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

英語ガイドでしたが、面白おかしく、時には真面目に分かりやすく説明して下さり、何かと声を掛けて頂き、絶景ポイントでは全員が同じ景色を見れるよう360°操縦してくれます。パイロットの優しさと陽気さで、移動中は終始和やかムード♪
初ハワイ島の私達夫婦にとっては、ピッタリのアクティビティでした。
そして、今年も遅い私達の夏休みは…マウイ島！
VELTRAさん、またお世話になると思います。
今から楽しみです☆

マンタ大学夜学部　野生のマンタ＆ナイトシュノーケリングツアー ＜送迎可／日本語スタッフ乗船日あり＞

Impressive!! 圧巻！！

Reviewed by: ちーこ

Entering the ocean at night and getting close to the manta rays was terrifying, but it was truly breathtaking and exhilarating. I have had the opportunity to encounter dolphins and sea turtles while swimming in the waters of Hawaii several times, but the experience with the manta rays was even more moving and exciting. My husband, who initially had low expectations, was also extremely thrilled.

夜の海に入ることも、マンタに接近することも、恐怖心がありましたが、ほんとに圧巻としか言いようがないほど、興奮しました。ハワイの海で、イルカや海亀に遭遇して一緒に泳ぐ機会が、今まで何度かありましたが、マンタはそれ以上に感動、興奮しました。はじめは期待していなかった主人も大興奮でした。

Grand Circle Island Tour - Volcano, Black Sand Beach, Waipio Valley & Waterfalls

Circle Island tour

Reviewed by: Jeanne

Guide was very informative. He talked about everything we were seeing and was easy to listen to. The only concern I had was that the tour company needs to adjust expected arrival times to account for other pick ups and traffic.

Kona Sunset & Moonlight Wild Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Wahine Charters

Mantas

Reviewed by: Barb

Very cool experience. There were 12 Mantas swimming around us. The crew were safety conscious and handled a guy that freaked out in the water very professionally. No shame and wanted everyone to have a good time. Hot Chocolate provided with fresh fruit.

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

Great Time

Reviewed by: KCarson

The sunset dinner cruise my wife and I took lived up to the hype. The food was excellent! The western coast of the Big Island was just beautiful at that time of day. We also got to see a pod of dolphins (I would say at least 20 jumping out of the water) along the way. Can't recommend this activity enough!!!
