Even when looking at guidebooks and everyone's reviews, it was recommended that if you go to Hawaii, you should see the Luau show, and I was a bit skeptical about how good it really was.
The result was a huge success!!
While waiting for the show to start, I participated in interactive events and enjoyed some cocktails.
After that, I had a buffet meal and watched the show.
Not only was there hula, but also Tahitian dance and a fire show, making it a rich and enjoyable experience.
ガイドブックを見ても、みんなの口コミを見ても、ハワイに行ったら、ルアルショーがお勧めと書かれてあり、そんなに良いのかなぁ??と半信半疑で、申し込みました。
結果は、大正解!!
ショーが始まるまでの間は、参加型のイベントに参加したり、カクテルを飲んだりして時間を過ごしました。
その後、バイキングの食事を食べ、ショーを見ました。
フラだけでなく、タヒチのダンスやファイアーショーもあり内容が充実していて、楽しめました。

We slowly moved from the Kailua Pier to the submarine by boat. The coastline of Kailua-Kona is beautiful. Once inside the submarine, I was surprised at how spacious it was; we dove 100 feet (about 30 meters) and could see the seabed clearly. I am generally prone to seasickness, and since I was sleep-deprived after participating in the Mauna Kea summit sunrise tour, I experienced mild seasickness. I recommend that those who are prone to seasickness take medication before boarding the boat at the pier.
カイルア桟橋から船でゆっくりと潜水艦まで移動
カイルア・コナの沿岸がきれい。
潜水艦に入って見ると中は意外に広く100フィート(約30m)潜り海底まで見えきれい。
もともと船に弱い方で、またマウナケア山頂サンライズツアー参加後すぐで睡眠不足だったので、軽い船酔いになりました。
船に弱い方は、桟橋で船に乗る前船酔いの薬を飲まれる事をお勧めします。

I was able to see dolphins. I was a bit worried because it seemed that some people couldn't see them, but during my visit, perhaps due to the timing, I was able to see dolphins swimming from the hotel balcony in the morning, so I wasn't too concerned. By the way, it was around mid-May, during the new moon phase (which may not be related).
As soon as we set sail, we saw dolphins up close, and I was really excited. I regretted not taking pictures because I thought we would be snorkeling there. We ended up snorkeling at another location, which had beautiful coral reefs. They provided masks and fins, and just floating in the sea was very soothing and enjoyable. There were always meals and drinks available, and the shower and restroom were clean, so I thought it was a nice experience. It felt more like a relaxing playtime.
I also did diving as an option. I didn't understand the language, but they properly informed us about the dive sites and guided us, so I had a lot of fun. However, once you start diving, the free time (if you can call it that) becomes limited. I thought it would be amazing if we could dive in the area where the dolphins are.
イルカ見れました。書き込みには、見れなかった人もいたようなので、ちょっと心配でしたが、私の時は、時期がよっかったのか、ホテルのベランダからも朝はイルカが泳いでいるのがみれていたので、心配がなたったです。ちなみに5月半ばの、(関係ないかもだけど、)新月位の時でした。
出航してすぐイルカがみれ、まじかでしたので、ちょう興奮しました。そこでスノーケルかと思い写真をとらなかったのが、残念でした。スノーケルは、他の場所で、そこは珊瑚のきれいな海です。マスクとフィンを貸してくれて、海に浮いているだけでもとても癒されよかったです。食事も飲み物もつねにあるし、シャワーもついてるし、トイレもキレイなので、いい感じだと思います。どちらかというと、のんびり遊ぶ(癒しな)感じだと思います。
オプションでダイビングもしました。言葉は解りませんが、ちゃんとポイント名も教えてくれて、ガイドもしてくれたので、結構楽しめました。 ただ、ダイビングをしてしまうと、自由時間(?)が少なくなってしまいます。せっかくなら、イルカがいるところで、ダイビングできたら最高なのにな、と思いました。

I participated in a cruise that departed at 9 AM.
On the day of the cruise, we were the only Japanese people, and the rest were foreigners. All the explanations were in English, but I didn't have any particular difficulties. On the way there and back, we encountered dolphins. We were able to stop the boat and enjoy watching the dolphins until they left. Unfortunately, the dolphins weren't at the snorkeling point, so we couldn't swim with them, but the rental snorkeling gear was very clean, and the boat had a slide that the kids could enjoy (the adults were sliding down too). They provided anti-fog spray for the snorkeling masks and tubes as substitutes for floatation devices, which made for a very comfortable experience. The snorkeling point was in shallow waters with not much wave action, and there were plenty of fish, so even kids could have fun.
There was someone celebrating a birthday that day, and we all sang a birthday song at the end. It was a fun tour.
朝9時出港のクルーズに参加しました。
当日は日本人は私たちだけであとは外人さんたちでした。
説明はすべて英語ですが 特に苦労はしませんでした。
行く途中と帰りにイルカに遭遇。
船をとめて イルカが去るまでゆっくり堪能できました。
残念ながら イルカがシュノーケルポイントに居なかったので一緒に泳ぐことはできなかったのですが
レンタルのシュノーケルもとても綺麗だし、船には滑り台がついていて子供も楽しめます(大人もみんな滑ってます)
シュノーケルの際のマスクの曇り止めや浮き環の代わりのチューブなどが準備されていて とても快適に過ごせます。
シュノーケルポイントも波があまりない浅瀬で、魚もたくさんいるので 子供でも楽しめます。
当日は誕生日の方がいて 皆で最後にバースデーソングを歌ったり。 楽しいツアーでした。

Aloha! We attended Island Breeze Luau, and we had a great time! This was our first Luau, and our 12 and 16 year old was with us. They had a great representation of Hawaiin Foods, as well as American foods for those who didnt want the full experience. The entertainment was great, and it was obvious that they loved their work. The passion for thier culture, and familys was beautifully done. By the time you left, you felt like you were part of their Ohana. The only thing I may suggest is to have more fresh fruits for those on a limited diet and more flower leis for sale, as they ran out the first 25 customers. I would give it a 4 1/2 stars.
Thanks for the memories!!

This is a great activity except if you're prone to motion-sickness then it is not for you. Two hours was way too long for us. I was doing well in the first hour when we were shown the volcanoes and mountains but in the second hour I could not keep my eyes open due to my motion sickness. And that sucked because in the second hour is when he shows you the beautiful valleys and waterfalls! Thank God my husband was able to record it for me but it still wasn't the same. I would recommend a 45-minute-1 hour tour but not the 2 hour tour.

We participated with our elementary school child, making three of us.
Snorkeling in a beautiful cove.
The kids were thrilled to jump into the sea from a slide on the boat.
For lunch, they grilled hamburgers right there, and we got to make our own burgers.
Freshly grilled was definitely delicious.
Since we could only play for a little over two hours, I wish we could have stayed a bit longer.

Even someone like me, who isn't very good at English conversation, was able to enjoy it fully. I recommend arriving a little early and lining up in front of the entrance, as you can get a good spot closer to the front. The food is also plentiful. Towards the end, the sea breeze can feel quite cold, so it's a good idea to bring a jacket. I think couples should not be shy and dance together. On the first night after arriving in Hawaii, you might feel sleepy at first, but your energy will quickly rise, so I recommend seeing it in the first half.
あまり英会話が出来ない私でも、充分楽しむことが出来ました。少し早めに行き、入口前で並ぶと、結構、前の方で見れるのでお薦めいたします。料理も充実しています。最後の方は、海風が冷たく感じてくるので、上着を持参するといいですよ。ぜひカップルの方は恥ずかしがらずに、一緒踊るといいと思いますよ。ハワイ島着いた初日の夜は眠いかと思いまずか、一気にテンション上がるから、前半に見る事をお薦め致します。

I flew from Honolulu to Hilo early for trip which was scheduled for 8:30 AM. We were delayed starting by about one hour for other guests who took a later flight. My main reason for this tour was to see the volcano. Because of air quality, the observation area was closed. Because of cloud cover, we could not see the top of the volcano. We were able to visit the National Park Visitors Center which was worthwhile.
The tour guide was just fair. We visited several commercial sites.
He tried to make up for the closing of the observation area by stopping at other volcanoes in the park & a lava tube.

Since we didn't have a rental car, we participated in this tour with transportation included. It took about 45 minutes to get from our hotel to the meeting point, and we were dropped off just before the port, so we needed to walk to the Body Glove boat. The crew was at the reception, and you can check in by saying your name. As mentioned in other posts, the crew does not understand Japanese at all. I also speak very little English, but they provide a Japanese sheet with important information and emergency signals, so it's okay if you don't understand the English explanations. Since I have poor eyesight, they lent me prescription snorkeling goggles. I didn't understand everything in English, but since I participated in January, it was whale watching season, not dolphin watching. It was a great deal because you could snorkel and see whales. Although the sea was calm, it was still open ocean, so those prone to seasickness should take precautions. They do provide emergency assistance, but I think you need to be capable of managing your own snorkeling. Regarding transportation, the pickup was over an hour after the cruise ended, so I think it's fine to explore the nearby shops. I believe this is an activity that offers a unique experience that can only be enjoyed on the Big Island.
当方レンタカーがなかった為送迎つきのこちらに参加いたしました。
滞在ホテルより集合場所までは45分くらい、港の手前で下ろされるため、ボディーグローブ号まで歩いていく必要はあります。クルーが受付をしているので名前を言えばチェックインできます。投稿にあるとおりクルーに日本語はまったく通じません。当方も英語はほとんどしゃべれませんが、注意事項、危険時の合図などは日本語のシートを出してくれるので英語の説明がわからなくても大丈夫です。目が悪いのでめがねをかけていたら度つきの水中グラスも貸してくれました。また英語のためわからなかったのですが当方の参加した一月は鯨が来るシーズンのためイルカではなくホエールウオッチングでした。シュノーケリングもでき鯨も見れることでお得ではありました。穏やかとはいえ外洋なので波はあるので船酔いするかたは対策が必要です。また緊急時の対応はしてくれますが自己管理でシュノーケリングできる能力は必要とみます。送迎のほうですが迎えはクルージング終了後一時間以上もあったので周辺のお店を散策してもいいと思います。ビッグアイランドでしか味わえない体験ができるアクテビティだと思います。

We participated as a family this time. It was fun to feel like we were at an outdoor party. The show started with a traditional Hawaiian ceremony, and then the performance began on stage. Although we didn't have the best seats because a special group was celebrating a birthday, it was really nice to watch a traditional show in a tropical party atmosphere. Unfortunately, we had to wait in line to get drinks, which took some time, and the buffet-style meal had a set order for each table, making it difficult to eat, and there were few options, which was a bit disappointing for dinner. Next to us was a foreign family, but it seemed like they were seating Japanese guests close together. I think this dinner show is recommended for friends and families to enjoy the atmosphere and traditional performance while having fun together.
今回家族で参加しました。
野外パーティーに参加している雰囲気で楽しかったです。
ショーはハワイの伝統的な儀式から始まり、ステージでショーが始まりました。
誕生日を祝う特別なグループが参加していたため、ベストの席ではなかったけれど、
南国のパーティー気分の中で伝統的なショーを見るのはとてもよかったです。
残念ながら、飲み物をもらうのに並ばなくてはいけなくて、時間がかかったり、
ビュッフェスタイルの食事も、テーブルごとに順番があってなかなか食べられず、種類も少なく
ディナーとしては少々期待ハズレでした。
私たちの隣は、外国人ファミリーでしたが、日本人同士を近い席にしてくれている様子でした。
このディナーショーは友人同士や家族でワイワイ楽しみながら雰囲気と伝統的なショーを楽しむのがお勧めだと思います。

The staff provided a detailed explanation of the history of Hawaii Island in English, which was a great opportunity for my wife, who is currently learning English, to hear native speech. However, I was disappointed that I could hardly understand it. The Hawaiian cocktail "Mai Tai" served on board was fruity and had a pleasant taste.
I was very satisfied to be able to listen to live performances by musicians after purchasing a ukulele, as I had become fascinated with it. The pleasant breeze matched perfectly with the Hawaiian atmosphere.
The dinner included many local Hawaiian dishes and was delicious, but I felt that the variety was limited for the price. As the sun sets, the temperature drops significantly, so I recommend bringing a long-sleeved shirt.
スタッフが英語でハワイ島の歴史を詳しく説明してくれ、英語学習中の家内にとっては、ネイティブの英語を聞く良い機会でした。しかし、私はほとんど聞き取れず残念でした。船内で振る舞われるハワイアンカクテル「マイタイ」は、フルーティで口当たりが良かったです。
私は、ウクレレに夢中でハワイのウクレレを購入してからツアーに参加しましたが、ミュージシャンの生の演奏を聴くことができて、とても満足でした。心地よい風にハワイアンがぴったりあっていました。
ディナーの料理はハワイの郷土料理なども多くておいしかったのですが、値段の割には品数が少なかったと感じました。

My first experience in the night sea was, as everyone has mentioned, mainly concerned with the cold. I prepared a rash guard and entered the water. At first, I only saw manta rays passing by two or three times, but in the end, a manta ray flipped in front of me multiple times, which was very satisfying. However, the cold can be quite challenging, so be prepared!
夜の海は初体験で、皆さんが書き込んでいる通り寒さだけが気がかりでした。ラッシュガードを用意して海に入りました。最初は2~3回マンタが通り過ぎるだけでしたが、最後には目の前をマンタが何回も宙返りをしてとても満足です。ただ、寒さは結構応えますので覚悟の上で!

I'm glad I participated and can recommend it. It was truly a wonderful experience to see manta rays while snorkeling with such a high probability. The guide mentioned that this is the only place in the world where you can see manta rays while snorkeling. It's a tour I want everyone to join. However, there are some downsides. Communication is only in English. It can be cold. There’s no pickup to the meeting place, and it's a bit nerve-wracking to confirm by phone. If you can't communicate in the language, it might be quite scary. But as long as you have courage, you'll be fine. You can refer to others' experiences for guidance. To deal with the cold, bring warm clothing and put it on right after getting out of the water. Since there’s no pickup to the meeting place, renting a car or staying in the Kona area or at the Sheraton is convenient. The confirmation call is only in English, but it's definitely necessary. My reservation was canceled, and I ended up participating the next day. Many Japanese people don't stay long on the Big Island, so if you miss it, it would be sad, so it's better to have a little extra time.
参加して良かった、お勧めできます。マンタがあのようにシュノーケルで高確率で見れるなんて、本当に素晴らしい体験です。世界でもシュノーケルでマンタが見れるのはここだけとガイドも話していました。皆様に参加して欲しいツアーです。しかし、難点もアリ。英語以外通じない。寒い。集合場所への送迎、再確認のTEL。海、夜、と不安なので語学が通じないと結構恐いかも?しかし、勇気さえあれば大丈夫。皆様の体験談を参考にすれば問題なし。寒さは防寒着を持参し海から上がってすぐ着用。集合場所まで送迎ないから、レンタカーかコナエリア、シャラトンなどに宿泊が便利。再確認のTELは英語のみだけど必ず必要。私は、予約日はキャンセルになり、次の日参加になりました。日本人はハワイ島にそう長く滞在しないパターンが多いので、見れなかったら悲しいので、余裕を少しでも持ったほうがいいです。

I participated with a friend on November 4, 2009. I had watched some videos to get a feel for it, but experiencing it in person was surprising!! They come really close to you! There were only two on that day, but if there had been more, it might have been a bit scary. They swim towards the light, so if you want to see the manta rays up close, it's a good idea to position yourself near the light of the grab bar. Also, since it was nighttime due to the season, it was cold and the boat was rocking, which made me feel a bit groggy. If you're prone to seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must.

I participated with a friend on November 5, 2009. Due to the season, the weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, so it wasn't the clear sea as shown on the website. Moreover, it was quite cold!

It takes about two hours round trip to get to the snorkeling points, but we had about two hours for snorkeling, which was quite satisfying.

Anyway, I absolutely recommend it!!
The kids seemed a bit anxious about the night sea, but it was totally fine!!
You can see the manta rays up close!!
We didn't have a rental car and took a taxi from a hotel quite far away... It was a bit over budget, but I still absolutely recommend it!!
I actually wanted to meet the manta rays while diving, but that seems unlikely to happen, so this time we went snorkeling...
The manta rays swirl around and come within reach.
However...
There’s no place to change into swimsuits, so it's fine to wear them on the way there, but on the way back... you’ll be soaking wet, so I had to sneakily change in the dark after getting out of the water...
I recommend that those planning to participate stay at a nearby hotel (cry)!!
とにかく、絶対にオススメ!!
子どもたちは夜の海に不安を持っていたようですが、全然大丈夫ですよ!!
マンタがとっても近くで見れます!!
私たちはレンタカーも無く、かなり遠いホテルからタクシーで現地へ・・・。ちょっと予算オーバーでしたが、それでも絶対にオススメです!!
本当はダイビングでマンタにあいたかったのですが、それはなかなか叶いそうに無いので、今回はシュノーケリングで・・・。
マンタが、くるくる回転してくれたり、すぐに手の届きそうな距離です。
しかし・・・。
水着に着替えるところは無いので、行きは着ていけばOKですが、帰りは・・・。ビショ濡れですので、タクシーに乗らないといけないので、暗闇の中こっそりきがえました・・・。

I was really surprised!! Since it's a manta ray tour, it's expected to see manta rays, but I never thought I would see them so close... they come right up to 5 cm in front of you. I thought they would bump into me. You can see them so much that you might say, "I'm already tired of manta rays."
One thing to note is that even though Hawaii is a tropical island, the water temperature is still relatively low. The rental for wetsuits is free, so make sure to borrow one. Also, don't forget a waterproof camera!! If you have a scuba diving license, why not try the diving plan...
いやいや驚きました!!マンタツアーなのでマンタが見れて当たり前なのですが、まさかこんなに近くで見れるとは・・もう目の前5cmまで来ますよ。ぶつかるって思いましたもん。「私もうマンタ飽きたっ」っていうくらい見れますよ。
注意点ですが、常夏の島ハワイとはいえ水温はそれなりに低いです。ウェットスーツのレンタルはタダなので必ず借りましょう。あとは防水カメラを忘れないこと!!スキューバライセンスを持っている方はダイビングプランにチャレンジしてみては・・・

I saw manta rays swimming up close for the first time! ^^
(They bumped into me several times.)
I went to the Big Island from October 22 and joined the manta tour on the night of October 24...
I found the office easily after seeing this comment (at the end of the Sheraton, past the parking lot, in the bay) and understood the important points (move the floaty stick to your feet when you arrive, bring a jacket because it gets cold, take motion sickness medicine, etc.). The English explanations were too fast for me to understand, but it was okay even if I didn't get it. ^^
Since I'm usually warm, I was fine without borrowing a wetsuit, but it did get cold when I got out...
The snacks were just some light snacks, so if you're prone to motion sickness, make sure to eat early and take the medicine...
As I mentioned before, it was my first time seeing manta rays up close, and there were so many of them!! It was exciting.
I brought my waterproof digital camera, which allows me to take videos and use the flash, so I was able to get great photos and videos.
The staff will take pictures for you, but it's $40, so if you want a keepsake, I recommend using your digital camera...
If you want to see the inside of a manta's mouth, its eyes, and its back... definitely participate!
Since it's a night tour, you can enjoy plenty of activities during the day, and I think you'll have a very satisfying day overall.
(Additionally, it ends surprisingly early, so afterward, you can enjoy shopping and dining in Kona.)
I highly recommend it!!
あんなに近くで泳ぐマンタは初めて見ました^^
(体に何度も当たりましたよ)
10/22~ハワイ島に行き10/24の夜にマンタツアーに。。。
このコメントを見て行ったので、事務所の場所(シェラトン突き当たり、駐車場過ぎ、湾奥)もすぐ見つかったし、注意点(浮き輪みたいな棒を場所に着いたら足の方に移動する、寒いので上着を持って行く、酔い止めなど)もわかり、英語の説明が早すぎて、私には理解不能でしたが、わからなくとも平気でした^^
寒いのは暑がりなので、ウエットを借りずとも平気でしたけどね。さすがに上がると冷えましたけど。。。
軽食はホントにお菓子をつまむくらいで、酔う人は早めに食べておいて、酔い止めを。。。

マンタの口の中、目、背中。。。見たい人はぜひ参加ください。
ナイトツアーという事もあり、昼間はめいいっぱい遊べますし、一日中大満足な日が送れると思います。
(さらに、終わるのも意外と早いので、その後、コナで夜のショッピングや食事なども楽しめます。)

I thought we would be going quite far out into the open sea when we said we were going by boat, but I was surprised to find it right next to the Sheraton Hotel. To think we could see manta rays so close... There were about six of them that day. They came so close that I thought, "Is this really okay?!" They seemed quite accustomed to people and were very friendly.
We drove to the meeting point with a rental car, and since I had scouted the area the day before, we were able to arrive without being late. However, even though there was only an English guide, I felt there could have been a bit more consideration. I had no idea about the precautions or anything. Fortunately, a Japanese woman who participated with us spoke English and was able to explain things, which was a great help. I wish there had been at least a Japanese explanation sheet available.
「船で行く」ということで、かなり外洋に出るのかと思ったら、シェラトンホテルの横で、びっくりでした。
そんな近くでマンタにお目にかかれるなんて・・・
この日は6匹くらいいました。
本当にすぐ近くに来てくれて、「いいのか!!」って思うくらいの近さでした。
人なれしているような、サービス精神旺盛のマンタたちでした。
レンタカーで集合場所まで行ったのですが、前日に下見していたので、遅刻することなく集合できました。
ただ、英語ガイドのみとはいえ、多少の配慮がほしかったと思います。
注意事項など全然わかりませんでした。
たまたま一緒に参加した日本人の女性が、英語ができたため解説していただけたので、とっても助かりました。
日本語の説明用紙くらいは、欲しかったと思います。
