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

A true must do experience

Reviewed by: Adam

PLEASE READ, IT WILL HELP! Truthfully I was skeptical when the tour started, we were the last boat to the area and the last in the water and you could see everyone getting a little edgy seeing other groups experiencing the odd Manta whilst we were still on deck. The staff kept telling us to relax, it would be great. When we finally got in the water we waited a short while for the first Manta and it is exciting, however we didn’t know what was to come. Their plan worked a treat, the other boats all started to leave as they are
On strict timeframes (although we didn’t realise this with our heads down) and we were swarmed by Mantas. The crew counted 7, I thought there were more but perhaps that was my excitement. These giants come so close you can’t believe they don’t touch you belly to belly as they barrel roll. THIS IS AN UNBELIEVABLE EXPERIENCE. The crew are very careful not to damage the environment with their anchor placement and so respectful of the Mantas. I cannot recommend this experience or this operator enough.

Naalapa Stables Kohala Horseback Riding Tour on Kahua Ranch

Will Come Again

Reviewed by: Ming Chai

I went here with my daughter because she rides and loves horses, and insists on riding horses once every trip. This time though, she wanted to canter because most trail rides are scenic and she wanted a actual ride. This place has amazing horses and the views are great, and you have a option to canter or take it slow. They assign you a horse based on what you need. Would definitely come here again, and probably will, because we visit Hawaii every once in a while .

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＞

I could see manta rays from a distance, but it was the worst tour. マンタは遠目に見れたが最悪のツアー

Reviewed by: あいう

It was the worst. First of all, the boat was probably over capacity. We were crammed in tightly, and those who couldn't sit had to sit on the steps. We were told to take off our flip-flops before getting on the boat. Those wearing water shoes were allowed to keep them on. For nearly 30 minutes, I was trying to avoid seasickness by staring into the distance in such a cramped space. When we arrived at the spot, we entered the water, but instead of swimming, we had to hold onto a rope and stay in a stretched-out position. (There was no space between us and the person next to us, so we were constantly bumping into each other.) Kicking our legs was prohibited. We had to maintain that position for about 50 minutes. It was really tough, and it got quite cold. I have experience with snorkeling and diving and was confident in my stamina, but this type of tour was a first for me, and I was quite exhausted.

Moreover, the descriptions stated things like "You can see mantas up close" and "First-timers will be well supported and feel safe!" and "The boat is comfortable," but the mantas didn't come close at all, there was no reassuring support, and a cramped boat with people so close together was anything but comfortable. It's understandable that mantas, being wild animals, might not show up, but it seemed like the divers below were trying to lure them in. However, the bubbles from their exhaled air kept rising towards us, making it impossible to see any mantas. I could only confirm the presence of a manta below with light about three times. After returning to the boat, someone ended up vomiting (which is understandable after maintaining that floating position for 50 minutes), but the tour staff aggressively washed the vomit away with water right at our feet. We almost ended up with "sympathy vomit," so we moved away from our seats. The vomit was not completely cleaned up, and there were remnants scattered at our feet. Later, we were told, "If you feel sick, please use this bucket." I think such information should have been communicated before departure. The person who vomited likely didn't have any instructions on where to go, which is why they ended up vomiting on the boat. I couldn't walk barefoot over the scattered vomit, so I had to stand instead of sitting. There was no consideration from the tour staff regarding this, and we ended up sitting on the hard ground on the way back. Although there were cushions on the seats, we endured about 30 minutes on the hard ground while being rocked by the rough waves. It was really tough.

To begin with, they packed us in over capacity, so there was no preparation for emergencies like this. Despite paying a good amount, we ended up sitting on the ground on the way back, which was just the worst. They mentioned that light snacks would be provided, but all we got were peanuts. The tour was from 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM, so I was expecting a simple dinner (like sandwiches or burgers), but peanuts... I was really frustrated with this tour despite paying a good amount. If they are going to provide details about the tour, they should specify what kind of viewing method it involves and that the light snacks are not a dinner, so we should eat beforehand. For those hoping to swim with mantas, please be careful, as that is not the case.

最悪だった。まずボートは恐らく定員オーバー。キツキツに詰められて、さらに座れない人は段差に座る羽目に。ビーチサンダルはボートに乗る前に脱ぐように言われます。海用シューズを履いていた人はそのままでOKでした。30分近く窮屈な中、船酔いしないように遠くを眺めてました。ポイントについて海に入りますが、泳ぐのではなく紐に捕まって蹴伸びの状態。（隣の人との間隔がないので常にぶつかってます）足をバタつかせるのは禁止。そのまま約50分キープする体制です。とにかくその体制はきついです。そしてかなり冷えます。シュノーケルやダイビングをよく体験していて体力には自信がありましたが、このような体制のツアーは初めてだったのでかなり疲れました。そして、記載されていた【マンタが手の届く程近くで見れる】や【初めての方もしっかりサポートで安心！】【船上も快適】など書いてありましたが、マンタが手の近くまで来ることもなく、安心のサポートもなく、あんな人と人が密着してる窮屈な船上が快適なわけありません。マンタは自然の動物なので、現れなかった。と言うのは仕方ないですが、ダイビングの人が下でマンタをおびき寄せてたみたいですが、その人たちが吐く空気の泡が私たちの方に上がってくるので全くマンタを見ることができませんでした。3回くらい下にいたマンタを光で確認できた程度。そして船に戻ってから吐いてしまった人がいて（流石に50分も浮いた状態をキープするのは気持ち悪くなるのでそれは仕方ないですが）その人のゲロを私たちの足元にツアーの人が水で勢いよく流してきました。貰いゲロをしそうだったので私たちは席から離れました。ゲロは完全に処理されず、足元には流れきれなかったものがあちこちに。そしてあとから「気持ち悪い人はこのバケツに吐いてください」と。そういうのは出発前に伝えるべきだったと思う。吐いた人もそのような説明がなく、どこに吐いていいかわからなくて、船の上に吐いてしまったのだと思う。そして散らばったゲロの上を裸足で歩くのはさすがに私にはできなかったので、座る場所を奪われ立っていました。それに対してツアーの人たちの配慮がなく、私たちは地べたに座って帰りました。イスにはクッションが敷いてありますが、私たちは硬い地べたの上で荒波に揺られながら約30分間も耐えていました。本当にきつかったです。そもそも定員オーバーで人を詰め込んでいるから、万が一のこういう時の備えがない。いい金額を払っているのにもかかわらず、帰りは地べたに座る羽目なんて最悪すぎました。そして軽食が出ると書いてありますが、出してきたのはピーナッツ。17:30〜21:00までのツアーだったので、簡単な夜ご飯（サンドイッチやハンバーガー系のもの）が配られるのを期待していましたが、ピーナッツって、、、って思いました。とにかくいい金額を払っているのに、このツアーにはイライラしかしませんでした。ツアーの詳細を記載するなら、どのような見学方法なのかとか、軽食は夕食ではないから済ませて来いなど書いておくべきだと思います。マンタと一緒に泳げると思って参加を希望している人は、そうではないので気をつけてください。

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＞

I wanted to see Rolling. ローリングが見たかった

Reviewed by: 旅人初心者

I understand that it's nature and you can't control it, but honestly, I was expecting to see a bit more, so I felt a bit unsatisfied. We floated on the surface for over 40 minutes, catching sight of a manta ray three times at the edge of our vision, and towards the end, one manta passed quite far below our group. We were so disappointed with the lack of sightings that when we finally saw one, we were like, "Wow!"

The guide was very considerate and polite, which was great. I want to improve my luck with manta rays and try again. There was a little girl, around elementary school age, in our group who started to cry from the cold halfway through. The night sea can be tough for small children.

Also, I think it's a good idea to prepare tips for the local staff. After returning to the port, the guide mentioned, "If you'd like to give something to the driver," and some people were caught off guard. It's not something you have to do, but being able to do this smoothly feels smart. On the day, you will be taken care of by about three to four people, including the guide, the boat driver, and the shuttle staff, so I recommend it.

自然の生きもの相手なのでしょうがないと分かってはいるものの、正直もう少し見られるかと思っていたので物足りない感。
40分以上海面を漂って、視界の端にマンタをとらえること3回、終わり頃に1度だけ自分たちのグループの下（かなり下）をマンタが通過していきました。あまりに見られなかったので、そのときには「おおっ！」となりましたが…。
ガイドさんは気遣いのある丁寧な方でとても良かったです。自分のマンタ運を高めて、またチャレンジしたいです。
一緒のグループで参加されていた小学生くらいのお嬢さんが、途中から寒い寒いと半泣き状態でした。夜の海は小さいお子さんにはつらいかもしれません。
また、現地スタッフさんへのチップをご用意されておくと良いかと思います。帰港後ガイドさんに「運転手さんに良かったら」と言われ、あわてている方も。必ず渡すべきものではありませんが、こういうのがすっとできるとスマートな気がします。ガイドさん、船の運転手さん、送迎のお兄さんなど、当日は3〜4名の方にお世話になりますので、ぜひ。

I didn’t listen and left my Apple Watch on when cliff jumping and sure enough it came off. I was sad but it was really my own fault. Kevin took pity on me and was able to find it!! Absolutely above and beyond what I would have expected. Great excursion, lots of fish, fun facts. We felt safe and well looked after the whole time. 10/10 would recommend.

Because they are living creatures of nature. 自然の生きものなので

Reviewed by: 旅人初心者

On the day, it was quite difficult to find dolphins. The guide communicated with other boats and made every effort to search for them. As a result, we were able to see a rare bottlenose dolphin just in time, and I am grateful for that encounter.
However, it felt more like "seeing dolphins swimming underwater" rather than "swimming with dolphins." Also, when the search for dolphins takes a long time like this, there is hardly any time left to enjoy snorkeling. If you don't take that into consideration, you might feel a bit disappointed.
Additionally, I personally didn't have any tips prepared, which I regretted. While it's not something you have to pay, I think it's nice to give a little something to the guide and the boat driver who worked hard for us. It would be smart to prepare a tip in addition to the fee.

当日はなかなかイルカが見つからず…。ガイドさんが他の船と連絡を取り合い、心をつくして探してくださいました。結果、ぎりぎりのところで珍しいバンドウイルカが見られ、出会いに感謝です。
ただ、「イルカと泳ぐ」ではなく、「水中で泳いでいくイルカを見る」イメージになります。また、今回のようにイルカ探しの時間が長くなると、シュノーケルを楽しむ時間はほとんどありません。それらを了承しないと空振り感があるかも。
また、私的にはチップの用意がなく、しまったなぁという思いです。払わないといけないものではないですが、いろいろ考えて動いてくださったガイドさんや船の運転手さんにぜひ心付けを。代金とは別に、チップをご用意をされていくとスマートかと思います。

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＞

A lot of manta rays are swirling around!! たくさんのマンタがくるくる！！

Reviewed by: なつみ

In the summer sea, you can enjoy the sunset and stay in the water for 45 minutes without it being too cold. They keep the lights on in the water, so many manta rays swim close by. They spin around right in front of you, showing off their playful spirit. On the boat, there are light snacks available, such as drinks, fruits, and chips. It's all in English, but it's easy to understand and fun. If you're prone to seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must. Keauhou Bay is quite far, so it's fine for those staying at the Sheraton, but others will need to rent a car.

夏の海、サンセットもみれて、そんなに冷たくない海で45分つかります。
海ではずっとライトをつけてくれるのでたくさんのマンタが近くを通ってくれます。
目の前でくるくる回ってくれたりサービス精神旺盛でした。
船では飲み物やフルーツ、チップスなどの軽食サービスもあります。
英語オンリーですが、わかりやすいし楽しいです。
船酔いしやすい人は酔い止め必須です。
ケアウホウベイはかなり遠いので、シェラトンの人は隣でいいけどそれ以外の宿泊の人はレンタカーが必要ですね。

ハワイ島 パラセイリング ＜午前・午後／カイルアコナ発＞ by UFO Parasail

In the early morning, the breeze feels nice and there are discounts too! 早朝だと風も気持ちいいし割引もある！！

Reviewed by: なつみ

I made a reservation for the early morning. This is my second time. In Hawaii, 7 AM is quite early, but since it finishes by 8:30, I can do whatever I like afterward, and the discount was great too. I think it's better than the afternoon session in terms of heat.

As for the experience itself, the breeze felt nice, and it really felt like flying in the sky with beautiful views, which was wonderful. The guide and the captain spoke only in English, but they explained things clearly, and I was able to enjoy the whole time with a smile.

Before landing, they asked if I wanted to dip my feet in the sea, so I requested it, and it felt great to be in the seawater.

There are a few minutes on the boat to the flight point, and also some waiting time for other participants, so I think it would be good to have motion sickness medication for those who get seasick. I felt a little nauseous. Still, it's an activity I would want to participate in again.

早朝に予約しました。２回目です。
ハワイでは7時台ってかなり早いほうですが、8時半には終わるのでその後の予定は好きなことできるし割引もきいて良かったです。
お昼の回より暑さもマシだと思います。
肝心の内容ですが、風も気持ちよく、本当に空を飛んでいる感じがして景色も良く素晴らしかったです。
ガイドさんもキャプテンも、英語オンリーですがわかりやすく説明してくれて、終始笑顔で過ごせました。
着地前には足を海につけていいか聞いてくれたのでお願いし、海水に浸かったのですがそれまた気持ちよかったです。

フライトポイントまで船に乗る数分、また他の参加者を待つ時間があるので船酔いする人は酔い止めがあるといいと思います。私は少し酔いました。
それでもまた参加したいと思えるアクティビティです。

Toshi not only had a lighthearted way of speaking but was also an excellent pilot, making the flight very stable, so I could enjoy the scenery without feeling nauseous. We saw valleys and waterfalls that can only be accessed by helicopter, making it a very satisfying flight! The price is high, but I believe it was worth it! Thank you very much, Toshi!

About 30 minutes before the gathering time, there were quite a few people in line, and in total, I think there were over 200 people at a glance. The buffet area was very small, and we had to go to each table to get our food. The taste was okay, but I didn't feel like going back for seconds. Beer and other drinks were all-you-can-drink.

The show itself was average, and it didn't really get the whole venue excited. From the poolside, depending on the room, you can see it better than being in the venue. Since we were staying at this hotel, I felt that it would have been sufficient to watch from the poolside.

集合時間の３０分前には結構多くの人が並んでいて、最終的には軽く見ても２００人以上はいたと思います。ビュッフェ会場はとても小さくて、テーブルごとに料理を取りに行かされました。味はまあまあでしたが、私はおかわりがほしいとは思いませんでした。ビールなどは飲み放題です。

After riding and holding the reins tightly, she crossed a stream and exclaimed, "This is fun!" When she saw the fruits and beautiful flowers along the path, she said, "How lovely!" And upon seeing the waterfall in the valley, she shouted, "This is the best!" She seemed to want more than just an hour of horseback riding.

Everyone else was also moved, whether it was crossing the river or when the horse started eating grass. Grandpa and Grandma, who recommended the horseback riding, were very satisfied.

You're just floating with a snorkel and holding onto a float for 45 minutes. It gets really cold, so it might be tough for those who aren't very fit or for small children. We did get to see manta rays, which was impressive, but we only saw about six in 45 minutes, and the water wasn't very clear either. Since we did see the manta rays, I'll give it three stars.

By the way, the "noodle" refers to the stick-shaped float that is given before entering the water. Haha!

因みに、ヌードルは海に入る前に渡される棒状の浮き輪の事です笑

I was able to meet dolphins and manta rays. イルカとマンタに会えました

Reviewed by: エイト

Since it’s nature, there are days when you might not see dolphins, but I was able to see them about three times! They were incredibly fast. Additionally, I also got to see a manta ray. My husband said he even heard the dolphins' voices.

Thank you, Nawata, Naoko, and Rei. Since I can’t swim, I was able to see the dolphins thanks to Naoko pulling me toward them. The breeze on the water felt so good. The time flew by. I also really enjoyed the stories about warriors and scary tales with Rei. By the way, Rei was quite handsome! I want to see whales too, so if I can go back to the Big Island, I would love to join this tour again.

自然相手なので日によってはイルカに会えないこともあるということでしたが、なんとか3回ほどイルカを見ることができました！すごいスピードでした。さらにマンタも見ることができました。夫はイルカの声も聞いたそうです。
なわたさん、ナオコさん、レイさんありがとうございました。泳げない私はナオコさんがイルカの方に引っ張って行ってくれたおかげでイルカを見ることができました。海上の風がとにかく気持ち良かったです。あっという間の時間でした。レイさんとの武将や怖い話もとても楽しかったです。とにかくレイさんがイケメンでした笑。クジラも見てみたいので、またハワイ島に行けたらこちらのツアーに参加したいです。

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＞

Traditional Luau & Hula Hawaiian Show 伝統ルアウ&フラ•ハワイアンショー

Reviewed by: えーちゃん

The show itself was good. I felt that the variety of dishes was a bit lacking, and there seemed to be a limited selection of drinks. I also thought the prices were a bit high.

ショー自体は良かったです。
料理の種類が少し物足りないのと、飲み物の種類が少なかった気がします。料金的に少し高かったように思います。

I am satisfied. 満足です

Reviewed by: Hide

A typhoon was approaching, and the dolphins were somewhat far away, so we had to travel about 45 minutes from the meeting point, which is a distance we rarely go. Thanks to that, we were able to encounter a pod of dolphins. It was very enjoyable to see the dolphins jumping and swimming right in front of us. The guides were all friendly, and the conversations on the way there and back were fun as well. Thank you very much.

台風が近づいていてイルカが多少遠くにいるとの事で、集合地点から約45分と普段では滅多に行かない距離まで移動してくださいました。
そのおかげかイルカの群れに遭遇する事ができました。イルカのジャンプや目の前を泳ぐイルカを見る事が出来て、とても楽しかったです。
ガイドの方もみなフレンドリーで行き帰りの会話も楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

ハワイ島 パラセイリング ＜午前・午後／カイルアコナ発＞ by UFO Parasail

Nothing surpasses the experience. 体験に勝るものなし

Reviewed by: へるし

It was canceled due to bad weather the day before yesterday. My daughter insisted, so I added a rental car for a day to reschedule. After the experience, I can only say it was worth it. A life with this experience versus a life without it. If you have the chance, you should definitely try it. Although there was an unexpected expense for the rental car, I got better at driving in Hawaii, so it's all good!

先一昨日に天候不良でキャンセルになった。ムスメがどうしてもというので1日レンタカーを追加してでも振り替えた。
体験後、やってよかったの一言。した人生しなかった人生。できるチャンスがあるならぜひ体験すべきだな、と思った。
思わぬレンタカー代出費もあったが、ハワイの運転がうまくなったからよし！

I was very moved. I am extremely satisfied! とても感動しました。大満足です！

Reviewed by: ひまわり

About 30 minutes to an hour by boat, we encountered a pod of 100 to 200 dolphins. They were jumping and spinning all around, and I was already moved before even entering the water. Once in the water, I swam a little, and there were so many dolphins swimming right in front of me; it was incredibly touching. They were so close that I felt I could almost reach out and touch them!

Since I was in a wetsuit, I felt safe entering the water as it helped me float. Some people who were not confident swimmers were worried, but in addition to the wetsuits, they provided floatation devices, and the guide pulled the floatation device for them, which made them very happy to see the dolphins up close.

Our guide, Ray, was very engaging and considerate during the trip, making it a comfortable and enjoyable experience. It would be a real shame not to participate in a dolphin tour while visiting the Big Island!

ボートで30分～1時間くらい行ったところに100～200頭のイルカの群れがいました。
あちこちでイルカがジャンプしたりスピンしたりしていて海に入る前から感動でした。
海に入ってからは少し泳ぎますが、すぐ目の前をイルカたちがたくさん泳いでいてとても感動しました。手が届きそうなほど近くでした！
ウエットスーツなので浮くため安心して海に入れました。泳ぎが苦手な方が心配していましたが、ウエットスーツに加えて浮き具も貸してもらえててガイドさんが浮き具を引っ張ってくれたようで、「近くでイルカをみられた」と喜んでいました。
ガイドのレイさんは移動中もいろいろと話をしてくれたり気遣いをしてくれてとても居心地のいい楽しい時間を過ごせました。ハワイ島にきてイルカのツアーに参加しないのはかなりもったいないです！

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

Fully enjoying nature. 自然を大満喫

Reviewed by: yumei

This was my third horseback riding experience in Hawaii. I stayed in Waikoloa and met at the location, but I had no problems getting there using the navigation. The instructions were all in English, but just like on Oahu, important commands like "Don't eat grass!" were communicated in Japanese when the horses acted freely.

While enjoying the great nature of Waipi'o Valley, we crossed rivers and observed sweet potato fields, wild coffee, and avocado trees, which provided ample riding time. By the time I got off the horse, my knees were shaking (laughs).

My dog followed along during the ride, happily going into the grass and playing in the river, which was very cute. The weather was bad, and there was heavy rain on the way to the stables, so I was worried about whether we would go ahead despite the rain gear being available, but it stopped raining by the time we set off on the horses. I would have been completely satisfied if it hadn't rained!

ハワイでは三回目の乗馬でした。
ワイコロアに宿泊していて、現地集合でしたが、ナビを使い問題なく行く事ができました。説明は全部英語でしたが、オアフ島と変わりなく、馬が自由にした時は「草食べない！」など、大切な指示は日本語で伝えてくれました。
ワイピオ渓谷の大自然を眺めながら、川を渡ったり、イモ畑、野生のコーヒー、アボカドの木など観察しなから、十分な乗馬時間でした。
馬から降りた時には膝がガクガクになっていました(笑)
飼っている犬がずっと乗馬についてきて、楽しそうに草むらの中に入っていったり、川で遊んだり、とても可愛かったです。
天気が悪く、集合場所から馬舎に向かう時に大雨で、カッパの貸し出しはあっても決行するか不安でしたが、馬に乗って出発する時には雨が止みました。雨が降らなければ大満足でした！
