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

Nice way to see more of the island!

Reviewed by: MTTravelers

We enjoyed the dinner cruise. The food was good, the entertainment enjoyable, and nice fellow travelers to visit with - all made for a nice evening. Cruising down the coast was a good was to see more of the island especially the Captain Cook monument. The only negative - the weather and unfortunately, no one has control over that.

I was able to fully enjoy nature. 自然を満喫できました

Reviewed by: アイクミ

The morning cruise was wonderful, blessed with great weather. A rainbow appeared, the sky was beautiful, and it felt great just to see people doing yoga on the beach or taking a walk. Once we headed out, we saw whales swimming in the ocean everywhere.

These are completely wild whales, right? I felt like I was in the great outdoors and lost track of time. The boat rocked quite a bit, so I couldn't take photos myself, but there was someone on board with a high-performance camera with a telephoto lens who captured some amazing shots. Everyone got the data from that person and we excitedly talked as if we had taken the photos ourselves.

The cruise also included drinks and light snacks, making it a very satisfying experience.

朝のクルーズは、天気に恵まれて、素晴らしいものでした。虹が出て、空の景色は良いし、浜辺ではヨガをやる人達がいたり、散歩するだけでも気持ち良かったです。さて、沖へ出て、海を泳ぐクジラがあちこちに居ました。
これって、完全に野生の鯨ですよね。なんか、大自然の中にいるんだ!という感覚になって、時間を忘れました。けっこう船が揺れたので、自分では写真は撮れませんでしたが、同乗してた人の中にかなり高性能の望遠レンズ付きカメラを持ってた人が、素晴らしいショットを取っていて、みんなその人からデータを貰って、あたかも自分が撮ったみたいな話をして盛り上がりました。
飲み物や軽食も付いていて、とても満足なクルーズでした。

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>

Finally, the manta did a backflip underwater for us! 最後にマンタは、海中バック転してくれました!

Reviewed by: K-M

Around 5 PM, we left the harbor and watched the sunset over the ocean. There were about four to five boats offshore. The wind was a bit strong, and the waves crashed violently against the Sheraton Hotel's pier. Feeling a little cold, I tightened my wetsuit up to my neck. Around 6 PM, enveloped in twilight, about 20 participants took turns entering the sea and gazing at the surface. Perhaps due to the weather, the manta rays were not appearing easily... Shortly after, they showed up in slightly deeper waters (3-5 meters?) and passed by. As my body temperature dropped and about 40-50 minutes had passed, suddenly, a manta ray performed a backflip right beneath me! I was moved by the manta's spirit! For those prone to seasickness, feeling cold, or afraid of the ocean, I think it's good to approach this experience with a bit of caution. That said, since it's nature, whether you get to see the manta rays beautifully is a matter of luck.

17時頃港を出て沖で日が沈むのを眺めています。沖合には4-5隻のボート・船。風はやや強く、シェラトンホテルの岸壁に激しく波が打ち付けられます。少し寒いな、とも感じてウエットスーツを首元までしめます。薄闇につつまれる18時ごろ(だったと思います)、20人ほどの参加者が順繰りに海へ入り、海面をみつめます。天候のせいか、なかなかマンタは現れててくれません。。。それからほどなく少し深い(3-5m?)ところに現れては、通りすぎていきます。体温も下がってきて、40-50分が過ぎるころ、いきなり自分のからだの真下あたりからバック転をしながら、マンタがサービスしてくれました!マンタの心意気に感動でした!船酔いする方、寒がりの方、海が怖い方、ちょっとだけ用心して臨むとよいと思います。とはいえ自然のことなので、マンタが綺麗に見えるかどうかは運次第です;

ハワイ島 アトランティス潜水艦 ハワイの海底アドベンチャー <日本語オーディオガイド> 

The only downside is that it's a bit pricey... ちょっとお高いのが難点・・・

Reviewed by: minikichi

Most participants are elderly individuals who cannot engage in snorkeling or other marine sports. At the deepest point, we dive down to about 30 meters to see sunken ships and other sights on the seabed. There is also a Japanese audio guide available, so I don't think there will be any issues. If you request a pickup, you will arrive about an hour before the meeting time, and there will be an additional 45 minutes after the return. I think it would be efficient to enjoy some tea nearby or take a stroll around Kailua-Kona during this time. The hotel we stayed at only had high-end souvenir shops, and since we weren't planning to stop by Honolulu, it was great to be able to buy souvenirs all at once at the ABC Store inside the King Kamehameha Hotel.

参加者は、シュノーケルやその他のマリンスポーツができない御高齢の方がほとんどです。いちばん深いところでは、海底30メートルくらいまで潜ります。海底に沈んだ船なども見ることができます。日本語のイヤホンガイドもあり、困ることはほとんどないと思われます。送迎をお願いした場合、集合時間の一時間前くらいに着き、帰りもさらに45分ほど時間があります。この時間に、近くでお茶を飲んだりカイルア・コナの散策もしてしまうと効率が良いと思います。私たちが泊まったホテルには高級なお土産屋さんしかなく、ホノルルにも立ち寄る予定がなかったので、キングスカメカメハホテルの中のABCストアでまとめてお土産を購入でき、良かったです。

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>

I couldn't meet the manta, and I couldn't try again (within 7 days). マンタに会えず、再挑戦(7日以内)も出来ず

Reviewed by: Kaborin

After reading experiences about the smartphone tour and knowing it was a boat departing from Keauhou Bay, I thought it would be perfect for me since I easily get seasick and feel cold, so I made a reservation. However, on February 16, the day I made the reservation, I received an email via VELTRA at 9 AM notifying me that the tour was canceled due to bad weather. The message stated that I would receive a full refund, and there was a link below for rescheduling the reservation.

I quickly made a reservation for the following day, February 17, and soon received a confirmation reply through VELTRA. However, the next day, there were zero manta rays. When disembarking, I was told, "The office opens at 8 AM tomorrow, so please call." But the next day, I had a tour with Kona Brewing where I would be drinking, so I couldn't drive afterward, and I had to return home the following day.

In a bind, I sent a question email to the VELTRA representative who had sent me the cancellation email, but I received no reply. I had seen too many experiences on VELTRA and mistakenly thought that if I didn't see manta rays, I could try again anytime, similar to other tours. However, for this tour, the information about being able to retry within seven days if I didn't see manta rays only appeared if I opened the "View Details" section on my smartphone.

(There was also information in the Q&A about what to do if I didn't see manta rays, but I noticed it too late...) The guide might have explained the details about retrying when disembarking, but I couldn't understand because I'm not fluent in English. It's my own mistake, and there's nothing I can do about it, but I'm really disappointed that I didn't see any manta rays. Next time, I plan to choose a tour where I can retry anytime if I don't see manta rays.

スマホの体験談を読み、ケアウホウ湾から出る船とのことで、船酔いしやすく又寒がりの私にはこれだ!と思い、予約しましたが…。
予約をした2月16日は、VELTRA経由で朝9時にメールで天候不順で中止との連絡が。
金額は全額返金との文面、更にその下には日程を変更して予約する場合のリンクが貼られていました。
すぐに翌17日の予約を入れ、程なく予約確定の返事もVELTA経由で頂いたのですが…。
翌日決行するも、マンタはゼロ。
下船時『明日8時から事務所が開くので、電話してください』というような話をされましたが、翌日はコナブリューイングのツアーでお酒を飲むため、その後の運転はNG、そして次の日にはもう帰国せねばならず。
困り果て、中止メールを頂いたVERTRAの担当者さんに質問メールを入れましたが、返事はなく…。
VELTRAさんでツアーの体験談をいろいろ見すぎてしまったことで、マンタが見られなかった場合は、またいつでも挑戦可能という他のツアーの体験談と勘違いしてしまい、このツアーも再挑戦はいつでもOKなのだと思い込んでしまっていました。
このツアーは、スマホだと〔詳細を見る〕というところを開けないとマンタが見れなかった場合7日以内に再挑戦可能という文面が現れません。
(Q&Aにも、マンタに会えなかった場合のことが書いてありましたが、気づくのが遅かった…)
ガイドさんは、下船時に再挑戦に際しての詳しい話もされていたのかもしれませんが、英語が堪能ではないので、理解できず。
自分のミスで、仕方ないことですが、マンタが見られず、本当に残念です。
次回は、マンタに会えなかった場合は再挑戦がいつでもOKなところを選ぼうと思います。

Amazing experience!

Snorkelling in the night with manta rays was an awesome experience.
Everything was perfectly organized: Captain and "Mermaids" were professional, nice and helpful.
We did it with our two kids (8 and 11) and they loved it.
Big mantas swam a few cm from us: in many occasions it looked like it was better to keep the breath in order to avoid touching them!!
It was super-fun and safe.
I recommend this activity to everybody!!!!

I was skeptical about whether I could really see whales up close, but I was able to see them several times. The drinks and snacks on board were plentiful, but unfortunately, I couldn't enjoy them much because the boat was rocking quite a bit.

Hawaii Lifeguard Surf Instructors - Kona Private & Semi-Private Surfing Lessons

Awesome experience and a fun new skill gained!

Reviewed by: Nick Smith

I've always wanted to learn how to surf and Jason was totally awesome and fun to work with. Although there were high surf warnings and strong current warnings going on at the time, I nailed a perfect 10, according to him, on only my 5th wave. I later got 3 in a row, including standing up, surfing the wave, and laying back down again without falling in the blue water below. I quickly caught on to many of the trends, such as interpreting the waves and knowing when to go for it. The first thing to do with learning most any skill is to find patterns.

Jason called me a natural at it, and I believe it, given how quickly I learned and how enjoyable my experience was. It did take me a bit of time to get used to getting up to the standing position from laying down, but the classroom-like aspect of the first segment really helped with that.

I would say the hardest part about this whole thing was finding a parking space for where you'd be doing the actual surfing itself. If you're lucky, you could find parking along the street close by, but chances are, you'll need the parking lot that's close to around 700 feet away, but what's a little walking when you've got a lot of paddling to do? It's a nice warm up, at least, to prepare yourself.

I chose the one on one option mainly because I felt it was going to be a skill I wanted to use in other locations. Little did I know, it actually ensured I could do this as everyone but me canceled due to the surf conditions.

Big Island Manta Ray Snorkel Cruise from Keauhou Bay - Sunset & Night Tours

Majestic Rays

Reviewed by: Kay

Watching rays swoop in from the darkness was amazing.

Our dive master was well informed and even gave us a great recommendation for a beach to hit the next day.

If I had any quibbles with the excursion is that from the time we left the dock until the time we went back to the dock we were only out for about 1hr and 15 minutes.

We were aware that the excursion had a max time of 2 hrs+ but would have loved to spend more time in the water after sunset and the Rays actually came out.

The excursion was still great though and it’s certainly a recent highlight of wild animal viewing.

Thank you for submitting a review on behalf of Kona Ocean Experience. We're happy to hear that our dive guide provided great information to you regarding the manta rays (as well as a beach recommendation) and that you had an amazing time watching the mantas "in action"! Just so that you (and others) know, our KOEX Sunset/Manta Snorkeling tour is advertised as a 1.5 hour trip (not "2+ hrs") as verified on our website: www.konaoceanx.com. Although a bit shorter than you'd expected, we're glad you felt it was a great excursion and a wild animal viewing "highlight"!

Family-Friendly Kohala & Waikoloa Whale Watching and Sailing Tour - Ocean Sports [Dec - Mar]

Morning Cruise - saw multiple whales

Reviewed by: Jonathan Smits

Because it was a morning cruise, they made good on sighting whales. There were multiple sightings. The amount of time on the boat was good, because after the sightings, I could actually relax and just enjoy the rest of the boat ride. The refreshments were tremendous. The crew was very generous and informative. I know the crew couldn't get as close as I would have liked, because of regulations, but I sure would have liked to have closer pictures and more majestic surfacings. But, overall we were happy with the cruise.

It was fun!! 楽しかった!!

Reviewed by: けんけん号

I lined up a little earlier than the scheduled time and was the third group. As time passed, more and more people lined up. Since entry is based on the order of arrival, I think it's best to line up early if you want a better seat.

After checking in, you have to wait before entering the venue. Check-in is at 5 PM, and the doors open at 5:30 PM, so you will wait for about 30 minutes.

First, you receive a welcome drink and are shown to your seat. Once seated, you are free to enjoy, but the food is only for children. There is a place where you can enjoy temporary tattoos and small items, and while you're having fun there, the food for adults will become available.

Even before the main show starts, there are songs and dances on stage, and music is always playing, so you can have a pleasant time.

As the sun sets and it gets somewhat dark, the main show begins. There are classic fire shows and hula dances. Since my seat was a bit far, I think it's better to choose a higher seat if you're looking for a more intense experience.

Additionally, from 8 AM on the day of the event, you can watch the preparation of a whole roasted pig. This is also quite impressive, so I recommend seeing that as well.

時間よりちょっと早めに並んだら、3組目でした。時間を過ぎるとどんどん並んで…。並んだ順に案内なので、少しでもよい席がよかったら、早めに並ぶといいと思います。
受付のあと、会場に入るまで待たされます。17時に受付、17時30分開場なので、30分ほど待ちます。
まずウエルカムドリンクをもらい、席に案内されます。席に着いたらあとは自由ですが、食べ物は子ども用しかありません。洗うと落ちるタトゥーや小物売り場があるので、そこで楽しんでたら大人用の食べ物がオープンになります。

メインのショーが始まるまでも、舞台では歌やダンスがあったり、常に音楽が流れてるので、心地よい時間を過ごすことができます。

日が落ちて、ある程度暗くなってくると、いよいよメインのショーです。定番のファイヤーショーやフラダンスです。少し席が遠かったので、迫力を求めるならば高い席にした方がよいと思います。

また、当日朝8時から、豚の丸焼きの準備を見ることができます。これもなかなか見ごたえがあるので、合わせて見ることを推薦します。

Reviewed by: ルアルアウ

The Hilton Hotel has a dedicated space for luaus. To get straight to the point, it’s not much different from luaus I've seen elsewhere, but the performances are unique to a family-friendly hotel. Right in front of the stage, there are mats set up for small children, along with plenty of cushions, allowing the kids to mimic the dancers and enjoy dancing along. It was very heartwarming. It was worth reserving the premium seats, as we were guided to the table right at the front. We were also able to get our food first. I was a bit hesitant before making the reservation, but I'm glad I went.

ヒルトンホテルにルアウ専用スペースが設けられてます。結論から先に行ってしまうと、他の場所で観たルアウショーとあまり違っていませんが、ファミリーが多いホテルならではの演出と、舞台すぐ目の前には小さいお子様用にマットがしかれており、多数のクッションが置いてあり、目の前で繰り広げられるダンスにお子様たちもダンサーのマネをして一緒に踊ったりして楽しんでいました。とても微笑ましかったです。プレミアムシートで予約した甲斐があり、テーブルの一番前の席に案内してもらえました。お料理も先に取りにいけました。予約前はちょっと迷っていたけれど、観に行ってよかったです。

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>

The weather is something else! なにぶん天気がね!

Reviewed by: ピーベリープルメリア

Even though it's always summer in Hawaii, we found ourselves in the middle of winter, and unfortunately, it was cold and rainy. We suited up in wetsuits and headed out into the waves, which were quite rough! From a Japanese perspective, it was surprising to start the tour under such bad weather conditions.

As expected, my wife, who isn't very confident in her physical strength, quickly returned to the boat due to the cold and the waves. I was worried about her, and I ended up slipping on the deck and injuring my side. We only managed to spot two manta rays near the ocean floor, which left us a bit disappointed on our first day in Hawaii.

I had joined the tour believing the reviews that said it would be fine even without understanding English, but I think it would be safer to go with a Japanese-speaking tour, even if it costs a bit more. However, I did find that the catamaran had less rocking than expected, so I hope to try again under better conditions.

常夏のハワイ、とは言え真冬おまけに生憎の雨で寒い中、屋根ひとつないところでウェットスーツに身を包み沖へ出るとかなりのうねりが!
われわれ日本人の感覚からすれば、こんな、悪天候の時に出航するのかと思ってしまう条件の中でのスタートとなりました。
案の定寒さと、うねりにより体力に自信のない女房は早々に船上に。
心配で同行した私も、デッキで滑り転倒して脇腹を痛める始末。
肝心のマンタは海の底辺りに2尾だけ現れたのを確認できたのみで、ハワイ島初日にすこしがっかりのツアーでした。
英語がわからなくても、勢いで大丈夫っていった書き込みを信じての参加でしたが、やはり費用が割高でも日本語でのツアーの方が安全面のためにも良いのではと思います。
ただ、双胴船のため、揺れは少ない方だと思いました、好条件の時ににリベンジしたいと思います。

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

It was my first time on the Big Island and my first snorkeling tour. There were only our family and one other group of Japanese people. The check-in and explanations were all in English, but there were also Japanese instructions, and the staff was kind, so I felt secure participating. Since it was a morning cruise, we were first served delicious bread and fruit, and before we knew it, we arrived at the snorkeling spot. The beautiful bay had calm waves, and we saw plenty of fish, which made us very satisfied! There were also plenty of floatation devices, so we could enter the water without any worries.

For lunch, we had handmade hamburgers from the staff, and we got to make our own burgers. They were delicious! The boat also had a restroom, which was reassuring. It was a wonderful snorkeling experience where we could fully enjoy the great nature of the Big Island.

初めてのハワイ島で初めてのシュノーケリングツアーでした。日本人は私たち家族ともう1組だけ・・・。受付や説明はすべて英語ですが、日本語の注意書きもあり、スタッフが親切なので安心して参加できました。モーニングクルーズなのでまずおいしいパンやフルーツが出てきて、あっという間にポイントに到着。美しい湾で波も穏やか、魚もたくさん見られて大満足!!浮き輪や浮き具なども豊富なので、不安なく海に入れます。
 昼食はスタッフ手作りのハンバーグで、自分でハンバーガーを作ります。美味しかったー!!船にはトイレもついていて安心。ハワイ島の大自然を満喫できる、素敵なシュノーケリングでした。

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

Sunset Cruise and Manta Ray Night Snorkel

Reviewed by: Evar

My most favorite experience on Big Island with Sea Paradise! A great crew and we were taken care of from start to finish. You start by checking in at the shopping center, drive 5 minutes to Keauhou Bay to park your vehicle, get fitted for your wet suit, and get on the boat. The sunset on along the Kona Coast was beautiful. The crew were extremely helpful, very knowledgeable about the history of the manta rays, humorous and went out of their way to make sure we spent the most time with the manta rays. We were one of the first boats in and last to leave. Plus, we were given fresh pineapple, juices/sodas and hot chocolate.
I do not know how to swim but the guides took extra care to make sure I made it on and off the boat with flotation devices. I would definitely recommend Sea Paradise!

Big Island Manta Ray Snorkel Cruise from Keauhou Bay - Sunset & Night Tours

Guaranteed!

Reviewed by: Jon

Bambi (captain) and Steven (dive guide) both are very friendly and knowledgeable. More importantly, in case that you do not see any manta ray, they arrange you another trip for free. In our case, the giants took a day off on Sunday and then came back on Monday. So try to book it at least 2 days before the end of your trip.

Mahalo for taking the time to submit a review of your sunset/manta tour(s) with Kona Ocean Experience. We're so glad you had the opportunity to rejoin us for a second evening after the mantas took a "night -off", so that you could enjoy seeing their majestic moves. Thank you for acknowledging our "manta guarantee"! Hope to have you aboard again sometime, to perhaps join us for a morning Dolphin & Kealakekua Bay adventure. Aloha!

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>

I was moved by the powerful whales! 迫力あるクジラに感動!

Reviewed by: くじら〜

The weather was great, and I was excited for my first-ever whale watching experience! However, it was in English, so I didn't understand everything, which was a bit disappointing. The whales weren't very active, but I was satisfied just to see them jump a few times! My husband got a little seasick, but we definitely want to come back!

天気にも恵まれ、生まれて初めてのホエールワッチングに興奮しました!
ただ英語のガイドだったので、意味がよく分からず少しだけ残念でした。
クジラはそんなにアクティブではありませんでしたが、数回ジャンプを見ることができ、それだけで満足です!
主人は少し船酔いしてしまいましたが、また来たいと思います!

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

Loved it!

Reviewed by: Neera Iyer

This was a last minute booking so we were glad to get it. We did the 7:45-9:45 PM night tour. The set up is pretty standard. The crew was experienced and knew what to do when didn’t find rays at the first spot. We were towed gently to where we saw two! We had a couple of screamers which was a bit annoying but that apart, terrific trip
