Island Breeze Luau at King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel with Show, Dinner & Drinks Included

Fun entertainment & nice location

Reviewed by: Lisa P.

My husband & I bought four tickets to see the Island Breeze Luau at the King Kamehameha Hotel on the Big Island for ourselves & our friends from Germany. The entertainment was a delight & there was a tremendous variety of food & also mai tais available included in the price. Though I'm not a big drinker, the punch bowls of mai tais were taken away pretty quickly after dinner was served. I would rather have alcohol with my meal than before, but if you're a cocktail before kind of person, you'll be fine. The locale was very serene in the evening with the glimmer of the island lights from the mountain side reflecting from the ocean. Overall, a very nice & worthwhile evening.

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー　滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く！＜午前・午後／英語ガイド／食事付＞by フェアウィンド号

I want to go again. また行きたいです。

Reviewed by: うっきー

When driving, the store and parking lot are located far apart, so it's necessary to check the store's location on the map before parking. I think it's better for those coming by rental car to allow extra time. The reception started at 1 PM, but we arrived early and waited for our departure time while having lunch at a table in front of the store.

Since we were departing in the afternoon, I thought the wind and waves might be stronger in December, so I took motion sickness medication. The boat ride took about 45 minutes and was a bit bumpy, but since it was a large boat, I don't think it was too bad. On the way back, it gets cold because you're wet, so I think it's better to have a jacket in addition to a towel.

On the way there, drinks (water, juice) and snacks like rice crackers, as well as drinks, potato chips, and fruit, are available as self-service. The restrooms are spacious, clean, and separated by gender.

All snorkeling equipment is provided, and safety precautions and instructions on how to use the snorkeling gear are explained in English. I can hardly speak English, but I managed. The snorkeling spot had cold water, but there were no waves, and there were plenty of fish, which was fantastic.

By chance, we were able to see dolphins and whales on the way back, making it even more memorable. I would like to participate in the morning next time.

車で行くと店舗と駐車場が離れた場所にあるので、地図の場所の店舗で確認してから止めに行く必要があります。レンタカーでこられる方は余裕をもってこられた方がいいと思います。13時から受付でしたが私たちは早めにいって、お店の前のテーブルでランチしながら出発時間を待ちました。
午後出発なので12月だと風や波が強くなるのかと思って、酔い止めを飲みました。船で移動する時間が45分くらいかかり多少揺れましたが、大きな船なのでそれほどひどくなかったと思います。帰りは濡れているので寒くなりますから、タオルだけでなく、上着があった方がよいと思います。
行きは飲み物（水、ジュース）とおかき、飲み物とポテトチップと果物がセルフサービスで出ます。トイレは男女別て広くてきれいです。
シュノーケル用具はすべて貸してくれるし、安全上の注意やシュノーケル用具の使い方も英語ですが説明もしてくれます。私はほぼ英語ができませんが、なんとかなりました。シュノーケル場所は水が冷たかったですが、波もなく、魚もたくさんいて最高でした。
偶然ですが、帰りにイルカやクジラを見ることができて、さらに思い出深いものになりました。今度は午前中に参加してみたいと思いました。

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＞

The long-awaited... 念願の・・・

Reviewed by: なまけたろう

Helicopter ride over the Big Island!!!

I hesitated for several years thinking about the cost, but... it was definitely the right decision to board! It was worth every penny! (Even for someone like me who is extremely afraid of heights, the stability of the helicopter was reassuring.)

After boarding, I was thrilled by the breathtaking views that you can never see from the ground. Waterfalls, Kilauea, lava fields, valleys, the land... everything was absolutely stunning! (I apologize for not having the best shots since I was sitting in the middle seat at the back...)

And our Japanese pilot, TOSHI (I was lucky with the timing!) provided a detailed explanation of the Big Island. (I might have been caught not really listening, though... haha.) Next time I board, I’ll make sure to study a bit more about the Big Island!

So, I definitely want to take this ride again next time!

ハワイ島ヘリコプターに搭乗！！！

金額のことを考え数年躊躇していましたが・・・
搭乗して大正解！金額を払っただけの価値はあります♪
（めちゃめちゃ高所恐怖症の私でも安心できるヘリコプターの安定感です）

搭乗後は地上からは決してみることのできない景色の数々に興奮しきりでした。
滝、キラウェア、溶岩後、渓谷、大地・・・どれをとっても文句なしです！
（後部中央席に座ったいたのでベストショットがなくてすみません・・）

そして日本人パイロットのTOSHIさん（タイミング的にラッキーだったようです!(^^)!）が丁寧にハワイ島の説明をしてくださいました。
（聞いているようで聞いていない？ことがバレてしまいましたが・・(笑)）
次回搭乗の際には改めてハワイ島のことをもうちょっと勉強して臨みます！

ということで、次回も必ず搭乗したいと思います！

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

It's an ultra-dynamic tour!!! 超～ダイナッミックツアーです！！！

Reviewed by: Ｒｅｉ＆Ｈｉｒｏ

I initially made a mistake and went to the wrong meeting place. I ended up at a building with a blue roof that has a marlin monument, but it was a different shop. It's actually a place with many tour companies further back.

There were ten participants in total, including us: four families and two couples.

We were greeted by dolphins right at the start. I was so thrilled!

When I first got on the Zodiac rubber boat, it bounced around a bit and was a little scary, but I gradually started to enjoy the speed and the bouncing. I brought a hat to prevent sunburn, but I couldn't keep it on!

To describe the experience, we sat on the edge of the rubber boat with the engine running, holding onto a rope. The boat took us out to sea at quite a speed, rocking a lot. It was exhilarating. I heard that some people have even fallen off into the sea before.

After that, the captain searched for whales, but unfortunately, we didn't find any that day. However, we did encounter a school of tuna, which was another thrill!

Next, we arrived at the snorkeling point. We jumped into the deep blue sea, far from land. The water was so clear that I could see down to my feet, but beyond that, it turned a deep navy blue. I wondered how deep it was. The water felt so soothing, and when I relaxed, my body floated effortlessly. It was an incredible feeling of liberation.

Snorkeling around the Captain Cook monument was also amazing. It felt like being thrown into a tropical fish tank. There were huge sea urchins everywhere. I wonder if they taste good? (laughs) I also saw turtles swimming, which was another delight!

The captain's English was a bit hard to understand. It wasn't a problem, though. I thought it would be fun to react like a native speaker if I understood everything, but I don't even do that in Japanese!

At the end, we encountered another pod of dolphins. They seemed so free. I was very satisfied. Snorkeling among the coral reefs while watching colorful fish was great too. The sandwiches for lunch were delicious. There were also services for fruits, snacks, and juice, which made it very relaxing.

I brought my iPhone with a waterproof cover, but I took so many photos underwater that I ran out of battery when we were sightseeing over the ocean. Even when dolphins jumped right in front of me and we were in front of amazing lava caves, I couldn't capture those moments…

As mentioned in other reviews, my lack of English skills made it hard to understand the explanations, and I couldn't communicate much with other foreign guests, which was disappointing. However, the captain and the other staff were very kind.

I highly recommend this tour. I really enjoyed the extraordinary experience. Thank you very much. I would love to participate again!

最初にいきなり集合場所間違えてしまいました。カジキのモニュメントがある青い屋根の建物に行ったら、別のお店でした。それより手前のツアー会社がたくさんあるところです。

参加者は、私たちの他、家族連れ４人、カップル２組、計１０名でした。

最初にいきなりイルカのお出迎え。チョーー感激ー！！

ゴムボートのゾディアック号に最初乗った時は、ポンポン飛んでちょっと怖かったですがだんだんスピードがどんなに出ても飛び跳ねても気持ち良く感じるようになりました。日焼け防止のために帽子持って行きましたが、かぶっていられませんでした！

イメージを説明しますと、エンジンの着いたゴムボードのふちに腰掛け、つかまるところはロープのみ。ボートはそんな不安定な私達を乗せて沖にけっこうなスピードでかなり揺れながら進みます。迫力満点です。今まで海に振り落とされた方もいらしたそうです。

その後船長さんが、沖でクジラを探してくれましたが、残念ながらこの日は見つかりませんでした。ただ、マグロの群れに遭遇出来て、またまたちょっと感激～！

その後、スノーケルポイントに到着。 陸地から遠く離れ海のど真ん中でただただ碧い海に飛び込みました。足もとまでくっきり透き通って見えるのにその先は濃紺、いったいどれほどの深さなのでしょう。とろりと感じるぐらいの水、脱力すると簡単に体は浮きます。ものすごい解放感。

キャプテンクック記念碑の周りでのスノーケリングもすばらしかった。まるで熱帯魚の水槽の中に放り込まれたようでした。巨大なウニがたくさんいました。食べたらおいしいのかな？？笑。
カメさんも泳いでました。またまた感激です！

キャプテンの英語はちょと理解できませんね~。それで困ることはありません。理解できてネイティブ並みに反応できたら楽しいかとも思いますが（もともと日本語でもそういう乗り突っ込みはしないですからね）

最後にまたイルカの群れに会えました。自由を感じるイルカたちでした。大満足でしたね。
シュノーケルも珊瑚礁の中、色とりどりの魚を見ながら、良かったです。お昼のサンドイッチも美味しかったです。
フルーツや、スナック、ジュースのサービスもあり、とてもくつろげました。

ＩＰＨＯＮＥに防水カバーつけて持って行きましたが枚数が足りないほど海中をパシャパシャ撮りまくってしまったので、シュノーケルの後に、海の上からハワイ島観光をしてくれた時にはせっかく目の前でイルカがクルクルジャンプしても、すばらしい溶岩洞窟を目の前にしてもバッテリー切れで写真に収めることはできませんでした…

他の書き込みにもあるとおり、英語力がなく説明がよくわからなかったのと、他の外国人の方とコミュニケーションがあまり取れないのが残念でした。でもキャプテンも他のスタッフの方もとても親切です。
ほんとにおすすめのツアーですね。
非日常を楽しめました。
どうもありがとうございました。
また参加したいです！

Hawaii Island Ocean Rafting & Kealakekua Bay Snorkeling Thrilling adventure along the lava cliffs! by Captain Zodiac ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング&ケアラケクア湾シュノーケル　溶岩の岸壁を行くスリル満点アドベンチャー！　by キャプテン・ゾディアック号

Reviewed by: kotomi

I used this service during my first trip to the Big Island with friends. The meeting place was a bit hard to find, so make sure to look closely at the signs. Also, all the staff and crew spoke only English, so be aware of that. It might have just been coincidence, but all the other customers around us were Americans, and we were the only Asians. For me, it felt more like being abroad compared to Oahu, which is mostly filled with Asians (mainly Japanese), and it was fantastic.

Now, about the activity. The rafting goes at quite a high speed. However, no water comes into the boat, so just make sure to hold onto the ropes tightly to avoid falling off. It felt like we went for over 30 minutes, and the time felt long. But when we encountered a pod of dolphins along the way, it was truly moving. They were so close! And the blue of the ocean upon arrival was breathtaking. It was the perfect shade of blue that you think of when you hear "Blue Hawaii"! The water was so clear, filled with many fish. We were allowed to snorkel freely with no time limit, as long as we had the energy.

The lunch afterward was quite simple, but the pineapple was incredibly delicious. Just when I thought we would return by rafting, we changed locations and snorkeled again. Then we sped back for over 30 minutes. On the way back, we caught a glimpse of a mother whale and her calf. It made me deeply feel that there is still so much nature left on this planet. It was my first time snorkeling in such a deep-looking sea. I definitely want to participate again.

友人との初めてのハワイ島旅行の際に利用しました。集合場所、分かりづらいです。看板をよく見て探すこと。そして、店員さんや乗務員さん全て英語オンリーですので要注意。たまたまかもしれませんが、周りのお客さんもアメリカ人の方ばかりでアジア人は我々だけでした。私からすると、アジア人(主に日本人)ばかりのオアフ島より、海外に来ている感があって最高でした。そして、本題のアクティビティ。かなりの猛スピードでラフティングは進みます。でも船の中に水が入ってくることは一切ないのですが、とにかく落ちないようにしっかりロープを握ってください。３０分以上は進んだ気がします。体感時間長かったです。でも、途中でイルカの群れに会えた時は本当に感動です。あまりにも近い！そして到着後の海のブルーさは圧巻です。ブルーハワイとはこのこと、と言わんばかりの真っ青さ！でもって透明度が高すぎる海にはたくさんのお魚。自由にシュノーケリングさせてもらえました。制限時間なし。体力の持つままに。上がった後のランチはかなり簡易的な軽食ですが、パイナップルがすごくおいしかったです。そしてまたラフティングで帰るのかと思いきや、場所を変えて再びシュノーケリング。そしてまた３０分以上ほどかけて猛スピードで帰りました。帰りしな、クジラの親子が少しだけ見られました。地球にはまだまだ色んな自然があるものだと、しみじみ感じられました。あれほどまでに海底が深く見える海でシュノーケリングをしたのは初めてでした。是非ともまた参加したいです。

Thank you, Aloha Kona Tours, for the best memories! 最高の思い出 アロハコナツアーズに感謝！

Reviewed by: こうが

Today, I participated in a dolphin tour. I believe there are many companies offering dolphin tours on the Big Island, but I heard that Mr. Nata was the first to start a dolphin tour there. Mr. Nata, Mr. Daisuke, and Ms. Chiho from Aloha Kona Tours provided an absolutely wonderful experience. For example, it seems that with other companies, you only get about three chances to go into the water, but the team at Aloha Kona Tours has a strong enthusiasm to show you the dolphins! They quickly spotted a pod of dolphins with the naked eye, got us into the water swiftly, and today we were able to enter the ocean five times. Each time, the dolphins came very close, and there were so many of them; it was an indescribable experience. My 6-year-old daughter was well taken care of, allowing us parents to focus on watching. It was so amazing that I understand why some people become repeat customers. Today, I was lucky to be with veteran guests, and after it was over, I really understood the desire to return. I am already eager to come back, and I plan to bring my friends' families with me next year. Next time, I would like to request not only dolphins but also manta rays and Mauna Kea with Aloha Kona Tours. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

本日イルカのツアーに参加しました。ハワイ島でイルカのツアーは何社もあると思いますが、縄田さんがハワイ島ではじめてイルカのツアーを始めたそうです。アロハコナツアーズの縄田さん、ダイスケさん、ちほさんは本当に素晴らしい体験をさせてくれました。例えば他社では3本位しか海におりるチャンスはないようですが、アロハコナツアーズの皆さんは見せたい！という熱意がとても強く、肉眼で素早くイルカの群を見つけ、素早く海に降り、今日は5回も海に入れてくれました。どの回もすごく近くにイルカが来て、群の数もとても多く、言葉にならない体験をしました。6歳の娘にもバッチリ付き添ってもらっていたので、私達親は自分が見ることに集中できました。本当にすばらしいのでリピーターになってしまう方もいるそうで、本日は運良くベテランのお客様とご一緒させて頂きました。終わった後、リピートしてしまう気持ちがよくわかりました。私も既にリピートする気まんまんなので、来年は友達家族も連れてまた来たいと思っています。次回はイルカだけでなく、マンタとマウナケアもアロハコナツアーズでお願いしたいです。良い思い出をありがとうございました！

I must state that the tour we booked to visit Mauna Kea was the highlight of all our activities on the Big Island. Greg was outstanding in his knowledge of the area and the solar system. My wife and I learned many new things when it came to star systems and planets. Viewing the International Space Station when it came by was unbelievable. The evening was moon free and perfectly clear. The Sunset at the Summit was breathtaking and the effects of 40% less oxygen was quite noticeable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting or planning to visit Hawaii. Keep up the great work and a big Aloha to Greg and Blake!!!

The food was good! Lasagne and a very yummy brownie and later hot chocolate and biscotti whilst we star gazed through massive telescopes.

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

Feel the ocean of Hawaii Island. ハワイ島の海を感じて

Reviewed by: むーちゃん

My husband and I love Hawaii, and we usually spend our time shopping in Honolulu, but this time we decided to experience the natural beauty of Hawaii for the first time by visiting the Big Island.

I wanted to feel the ocean of the Big Island up close, so I joined this ocean rafting tour, and it was the right choice. I realized that the blue of the ocean in the Big Island is completely different when viewed from land compared to when seen from a boat. In shallow areas, the water is a transparent blue, in slightly deeper areas it turns emerald green, and where the currents collide, it turns ultramarine. Sitting on the edge of the boat and moving through the water, I was directly immersed in those beautiful shades of blue.

But the fun didn't stop there. On the water, we saw baby manta rays feeding, dolphins swimming in pods, and surprisingly, we even encountered a jumping whale! It was a series of emotional moments.

Under the sea, we encountered colorful fish while snorkeling. I felt like I never wanted to come up for air; I could have watched them forever.

Finally, the captain was cheerful and spoke in a way that we could understand, even though we didn't know English well. He was so skilled at peeling pineapples that I wanted to learn from him!

The only downside was that there was no shower after getting off the boat. We were told to change in the restroom. We were covered in salt, and the hotel was far away. Although our bodies dried off on the way back from snorkeling, having a shower would have made it a five-star experience!

私達夫婦は、ハワイが大好きで、いつもはホノルルで買い物したりして過ごしてしまうのですが、今回はハワイの自然を感じたいと思って初めてハワイ島に行く事にしました。
ハワイ島の海を直接感じたくて、オーシャン ラフティングのこのツアーに参加したのですが、正解でした。ハワイ島の海の青さは、陸から見ているのと、 船から見るのとは全然違うと言う事を感じました。
浅瀬では 透明感のあるブルー 、少し深い所は エメラルドグリーン、海流がぶつかる所は 群青色。ボートの縁に座って海を移動しているので、その青が直接目に入ってきて 、どれも素敵な青でした。
楽しみはこれだけではありません。
海の上では、赤ちゃんマンタが餌を食べていたり、イルカが、群をなして泳いでいたり、そしてまさかの‼︎ クジラがジャンプしたのにも 出会えました。 感動の連続です。
海の中では、色とりどりの魚とシュノーケリングで、出会えました。ホント海の中に入れた顔を上げたくなくなる感じ、ずーっと見ていたと思わせてくれました。
最後にキャプテンは、明るくて、英語がわからない私達に伝わるように、話かけてくれました。デザートのパイナップルの剥き方は、教えてもらいたい程、上手でしたよ。
ゴメンなさいは、ただ一つ 船から上がった後に シャワーがない事です。 着替えは トイレでして下さいとのこと。潮まみれで、ホテルまで遠いし、 シュノーケリングから帰ってくる間に、身体は乾いていますがシャワーがあれば星5つですね‼︎

Reviewed by: Ocutie

Daisuke, who jokingly said, "I'm a dolphin otaku, so I know everything about dolphins!" was indeed telling the truth! We encountered a pod right after we set sail. He seemed to really understand the dolphins, pointing out where they were and when they would jump. It felt like a dream to swim with countless dolphins. In the end, we had such a fulfilling experience that we reluctantly had to wrap it up due to time constraints. Since they are wild dolphins, it might have been lucky to see so many, but I believe Daisuke's guiding skills played a significant role as well! Thank you very much.

「僕はイルカオタクだから~。イルカちゃんのことは何でもわかるよー♪」と冗談気に話していたダイスケさん。本当でした! 出港してからすぐに群れに遭遇。あそこにいるから、ここでジャンプするから、などなど、イルカの声を聞いては、本当に理解していた様でビックリ。数え切れないほどのイルカちゃん達と泳げて、何だか夢の中にいた様な…。最後は時間切れで渋々切り上げるほどの充実ぶりでした。野生のイルカなので、沢山会えるのはラッキーだったのかもしれませんが、ダイスケさんのガイド力も大きかったと思います! ありがとうございました。

I made eye contact with a dolphin. It was thrilling! イルカと目があいました　ドキドキです。　

Reviewed by: KAJIKAJI

As soon as we set off, we met a turtle, and within ten minutes, we dove at a point filled with dolphins both to the side and directly below us, which was quite an adrenaline rush. When I turned to the side, a mother and baby dolphin swam by slowly, as if saying, "Hello." Our guide, Dai-chan, advised us in the car that it’s good to be aware with our "third eye," which made the experience feel quite mystical with the dolphins. I would love to experience this again in Kona.

出発して、すぐに亀さんに会い、１０分もしないうちにポイントでダイブ、横も、真下もいるかだらけで、かなりアドレナリンでました。ふと横を向いたら、親子のイルカさんが、「こんにちは」と言ってくれてるような視線でゆっくりと泳いでいきました。ガイドのダイちゃんが、第三の目で意識するといいですよと、迎えの車のなかでアドバイスをくれたので、なんだか、不思議な気分をイルカさんと過ごした感じです。また、コナで体験したいです。

We had a reservation at 8:45. It was a windy day and the water temperature was low, so it was a bit chilly, but the activity of being able to touch dolphins is unique to this place, and my 4-year-old son was really looking forward to it! The instructor was kind and friendly! She taught us where the dolphin's ears, eyes, and nose are, gently touched its belly, and fed it fish. At my son's signal, the dolphin would make sounds and jump, making us feel like we had the dolphin show all to ourselves! It was only 15 minutes, but it was fulfilling!

I participated in a tour for my honeymoon. A wonderful guide who cares about dolphins and the ocean took us accurately to the dolphin point. I was truly moved to see wild dolphins up close! It was reassuring even for those who aren't great swimmers! I would love to join again! Also, the restaurant and the point where we could see sea turtles, which the guide recommended, were fantastic. Thank you very much!

プライベートチャーター　ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング+イルカウォッチングツアー！GoProレンタルあり＜午前／日本語ガイド＞

The encounter with the dolphin I had been dreaming of. And... 夢に見ていたイルカちゃんとの出会い。そして・・・

Reviewed by: ｈ＆ｍ

Since I was a child, I dreamed of swimming with wild dolphins, and that dream came true on the Big Island of Hawaii!!!!

When Daisuke said, "I think you'll meet them soon today," I was so excited that I felt like jumping up right there. Since they are wild dolphins, I knew that whether I would actually see them was uncertain, but still, I was filled with the desire to meet them.

It had been a long time since I last snorkeled, and I was a bit anxious about whether I could breathe properly underwater. When I first entered the sea, I felt a bit flustered, but once I felt the reassurance of Daisuke being right beside me and providing solid support, all my fear and anxiety quickly disappeared.

And soon after we got into the water, we encountered dolphins!!! I was so excited to see the dolphins swimming slowly. I couldn't help but tense up. However, Daisuke told me that the most important thing was to completely relax, so from the second half of our time, I swam with the dolphins multiple times, feeling relaxed and at ease.

Of course, since they are wild dolphins, their swimming speed varies at different times. But I think that’s part of the fun of being with wild dolphins.

Anyway, the dolphins are just too cute. I could even hear the sound of dolphins "quee-quee" underwater. It was so moving!!!!

Above all, I was amazed by Daisuke's incredible ability to love and understand dolphins, catching their presence even when they were out of sight. When he said, "Get ready to enter the water," we were able to encounter dolphins just as he said. It felt like magic.

It seemed like Daisuke could really communicate with the dolphins, as they always came close to him and danced together. I realized that love truly gets conveyed. The dolphins looked like they were having fun swimming with Daisuke, and of course, he radiated happiness. And we participants felt it too. It was a space filled with love and happiness. I felt the healing power of the dolphins deeply, and Daisuke's aura naturally energized me. When we got out of the water, I felt warm-hearted thanks to the captain's kindness in helping us up from the boat. It was a tour filled with laughter and excitement.

In the end, we encountered a scene where the captain quickly spotted a boat that had engine trouble and called out to help with the rescue. Daisuke's words, "It's normal to help each other in times of trouble," reminded me of something so obvious yet so important. I am filled with gratitude that we were able to meet so many dolphins thanks to guides like Daisuke and the captain.

I want to refer to the method Daisuke taught me for surely realizing dreams and continue to pursue my dreams one by one. I hope to swim with the dolphins again someday under Daisuke's guidance.

Thank you so much, Daisuke, the captain, and all the participants who shared such a happy time with me!

I wholeheartedly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to swim with dolphins on the Big Island!

小さい頃から、野生のイルカと泳ぎたいと夢をみていたけど、
ハワイ島で、その夢が叶いました！！！！

ダイスケさんから、「今日はすぐに出会えると思うよ～」と言われた時、
もう嬉しくてその場で飛び上がりそうに。
野生のイルカだから、本当に会えるかはその時にしか分からないというのは
念頭に置きながらも、でもやっぱり、会いたい気持でいっぱい。

シュノーケリングは小さいころやった以来で、
海の中で呼吸ちゃんと出来るかなぁという不安で、最初海に入った時は
ちょっと焦り気味だったんだけど、ダイスケさんがそばにいてくれて、しっかり
フォローしてくれる安心感を感じてからは、怖さや不安なんてすぐに吹っ飛んでいました。

そして、海に出てから早々にイルカと遭遇！！！
ゆっくりと泳いでくれるイルカたちに、もう興奮MAX。
つい力がはいっちゃう。
でも、ダイスケさんに一番大切なことは、力を完全に抜くことだと言われたので、
後半からは、力を抜きリラックスした気持でイルカと何回も一緒に泳ぎました。

当然、野生のイルカ達なので、泳ぐスピードはその時々違う。
でも、だからこそ野生のイルカなんだなぁと感じれることも楽しさの１つな気がします。

とにかく、イルカちゃん可愛すぎる～。
ちゃんと海の中で、「キューキュー」と泣くイルカの声も聞こえます。
感動！！！！

そして、何よりイルカを愛し、イルカのことを知り尽くし、
姿が見えないのにイルカの存在をすぐにキャッチするダイスケさんの凄さに圧巻。
はい、海に入る準備して～と言われて入るとダイスケさんの言った通りに
イルカに遭遇することができる。もう魔法にかかったみたい。

ダイスケさん、本当にイルカと会話出来るみたいで、ダイスケさんのそばにはいつも
イルカが寄ってきて、一緒にダンス♪
愛する心は、ちゃんと伝わるんだなぁと実感しました。
イルカちゃんも、ダイスケさんと泳げて楽しそう♪ダイスケさんももちろん
HAPPYオーラ全開♪そして私たち参加者も。
愛とHAPPYしかない空間。
イルカの癒し力を心から感じ、ダイスケさんのオーラに自然とこっちまで元気になって、
海からあがる時、船上から手を伸ばしてあがるの手助けしてくれるキャプテンの優しさに
心が温かくなり、もうずっと笑いっぱなし、興奮しっぱなしのツアーでした。

最後、エンジントラブルで海の上で動けなくなった船をキャプテンがすかさず見つけて、
声を掛け、救助活動といった場面にも遭遇。
ダイスケさんの「困った時は助け合うのが普通だからね」といった言葉に、
当たり前の事なんだけど、再度その大切なことを再認識させられました。
こういうキャプテンや、ダイスケさんがガイドしてくれるツアーだから、
今回たくさんのイルカちゃんたちに出会えたんだろうなぁと感謝の気持でいっぱいです。

ダイスケさんが教えてくれた、夢を確実に叶えていく方法を参考に、
これからも１つ１つ夢を追っていきたいなぁと思います。
またいつか、ダイスケさんのガイドのもと、イルカちゃんたちと泳ぎたいな。

ダイスケさん、キャプテン、そして一緒にHAPPYな時間を共有させて頂いた参加者の方、
最高に幸せな時間をありがとうございました！！！！

ハワイ島でイルカと泳ぎたい方には、心からおすすめのツアーです☆

Kealakekua Bay Guided Kayak & Captain Cook Snorkel Tour - Adventures In Paradise

Kayak Tour

Reviewed by: Belle

The location was beautiful at Captain Cook. I enjoyed the kayaking. However, I was not too impressed with the tour guide. My daughter and I were the only people on the tour. The female tour guide lacked in friendliness and almost seemed irritated at the beginning and the end of the tour. She also complained a lot about men and her personal life.

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

Second time riding at Waipi'o. 2度目のワイピオ乗馬

Reviewed by: うーたん

I participated once with my mother and daughter, and a second time with my family of three.

The wild paths that you can never experience in Japan are truly exhilarating, and the breathtaking views when you reach an open area are moving no matter how many times you see them.

The tour guide is a local from Waipi'o Valley, so they are very knowledgeable about the names of the lush trees and waterfalls, but of course, all the explanations are in English. Additionally, the formation is determined by the personality of the horse you are paired with, so if you get too far from the guides, you might not even hear the explanations (laughs).

For those who can enjoy such aspects and want to feel the vitality of Hawaii, I highly recommend this tour!

1度目は母娘2人で参加、2度目は家族3人で参加しました。

日本の乗馬体験では決して味わえないワイルドな道をずんずんと進み、
開けた場所に出た時のスケールの大きな景色は何度見ても感動します。

ツアーガイドはワイピオ渓谷の現地の方なため、生い茂る木々の名前や
滝の名前にはとても詳しいのですが、説明は当然すべて英語。
さらに隊列は相棒となった馬の性格で決まるため、2、3名つくガイドさんと
遠く離れてしまうと説明すら聞こえなくなってしまいます(笑)

そんなところも楽しめる方、ハワイの生命力を肌で感じたい方には
是非お勧めしたいツアーです！

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ（キングカメハメハホテル内）＜ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題／シェルレイ付＞

It was wonderful! 素敵でした♫

Reviewed by: さとう

I went on the night of the day I arrived in Hawaii Island after transferring from Kansai to Tokyo.
I was tired from the long journey and couldn't fight off my sleepiness, so I regretfully had to give up halfway through and couldn't see it until the end (>_<). It was disappointing (>_<).

However, the performances by the dancers and the band were wonderful and great (^_^).

The whole roasted pig was also amazing.

If the food had been a bit more substantial, it would have been even better, so I gave this rating.

関西から東京乗り継ぎ、オアフ→ハワイ島に到着した日の夜に行きました。
長旅で疲れてしまって、眠気に勝てず途中で断念、失礼ながら最後まで見られず(>_<)残念でした(>_<)

でも、ダンサー、バンドの方のパフォーマンスも素晴らしくて良かったです(^_^)

豚の丸焼きもすごかったです。

食事がもう少し充実していれば尚良かったので、この評価にさせていただきました。

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＞

Encountered wild manta rays! 野生のマンタと遭遇！

Reviewed by: とんとん

We gathered at the meeting point in the evening! The location provided after checking into the hotel was a bit unclear, and I ended up being slightly late. However, when I contacted the tour company, they responded kindly.

Upon arriving at the meeting point, I met the staff and other participants of the tour for the first time. There were not only Japanese people but also participants from overseas, and we chatted as we set off on the boat. I was excited to hear from the staff that if we spotted a manta ray for the first time and took a picture, we could name it!

Surprisingly, as we moved quickly, we witnessed a large sun setting over the ocean! While enjoying drinks, we gradually approached the sun as it sank into the sea, and we were able to take our time watching the sunset and capturing photos from the boat.

After it got dark, we all entered the water and encountered manta rays! I was able to swim closely with a large manta ray! I took pictures of the manta ray with my digital camera. On the way back, we enjoyed light snacks and had fun chatting with the staff and other participants, savoring the experience of the manta rays. It was a wonderful experience unique to the Big Island that I couldn't have in my daily life!!!

夕方に現地に集合！ホテルチェックイン後に連絡した際に教えてもらった集合場所がややわかりにくく、迷い集合時間を少し過ぎてしまいました。しかし、ツアー会社へ連絡すると、丁寧に対応していただきました。

現地へ集合すると、スタッフの方、一緒にツアーに行く人と初対面しました。日本人だけではなく、海外の方も参加しており、いろいろ話をしながら、船で出発しました。スタッフさんから、はじめてマンタを
見つけ写真を撮ると名前をつけることができるという話を聞きながらわくわくして向かいました！

意外にも早いスピードの中、進んで行くと、大きな太陽が海に沈むところ！ドリンクを飲みながら、徐々に海に近付いていく太陽、船の上でじっくり日の入を見て、写真を撮ったりすることができました。
その後は暗くなってから、みんなで海に入り、マンタと遭遇！大きいマンタとじっくり泳ぐことができました！持参したデシタルカメラで、マンタの
写真を撮ることができました。帰りは軽食をいただき、マンタの余韻を残しながらスタッフの方やツアーに参加してる他の方たちと楽しく話して帰りました。
日常ではできない、ハワイ島ならではの楽しい経験ができました！！！

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

Enjoying the ocean of Hawaii Island to the fullest! ハワイ島の海を大満喫！

Reviewed by: ゆぅちゃん

On October 12th, I went on an adventure aboard the Captain Zodiac. The weather was incredibly nice, hot, and the sun was strong, but as a result, the sea and sky were beautifully clear and blue. Aside from us, there were two couples of foreign tourists, and everyone was friendly, creating a cheerful atmosphere from the moment we set off.

First, we headed out to sea at an amazing speed that made me feel like we might be blown away. Suddenly, we stopped in the middle of the deep blue sea, and the captain said, "Everyone, feel free to jump into the water," as he lowered the ladder. Everyone joyfully jumped into the sea. My husband dove in headfirst. I was a bit taken aback and stayed on the boat. Soon everyone returned, but when the captain asked, "Is there anyone who has any regrets?" one man pointed at me and joked, "She hasn't gone into the water!" I laughed and said, "Oh, I'm a little scared!" and everyone laughed along with me.

After that, we went snorkeling at the Captain Cook monument. The water was very clear, and we were able to see so many fish. Right nearby, there were many wild dolphins swimming, coming close to the boat, suddenly jumping, and swimming at incredible speeds; they were so cute. On the boat, we enjoyed sandwiches, fruits, and snacks while chatting happily, and we had a wonderful time. I thoroughly enjoyed the waters of Hawaii.

10月12日キャプテンソディアック号のアドベンチャーに行ってきました。天気は良すぎるくらいに良くて、暑くて日差しも強かったですが、その分海と空は真っ青に澄み切って綺麗でした。私達以外は外国人のご夫婦が2組でしたが、みなさん気さくで、出発した時から和気あいあいとした雰囲気でした。まずは吹っ飛ばされるのではと思うぐらいの物凄いスピードで沖に向かいました。そして突然どこまでも深く青い海のど真ん中で停止し、キャプテンが「みなさん好きなように海に入って下さい」と言って梯子を下ろしました。みんな喜んで海に飛び込んでいきます。主人も頭から飛び込みをしていました。私は少々面食らってしまい、船の上に留まっていました。すぐにみなさん戻って来ましたが、キャプテンが「みなさん思い残すことはない？」と質問すると、一人の男性が私を指さし「彼女が海に入っていない！」と冗談を言いました。私は「え～、ちょっと怖くって！」と言って笑ってごまかすと、みんなも一緒に笑っていました。その後はキャプテンクックの碑のところでシュノーケリングをしました。透明度が良く本当にたくさんの魚を見ることができました。すぐ近くでは野生のイルカたちがたくさん泳いでいて、船の近くまで寄ってきて突然ジャンプして見せたり、すごいスピードで泳いだりしてとてもかわいかったです。船上ではサンドイッチや果物、スナックなどを皆で楽しく話しながら食べて、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。ハワイの海を大満喫しました。
