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＞

Full of impact! 迫力満点！

Reviewed by: papa

I participated on the day I arrived on the Big Island. Since my hotel was the Kona Coast Resort, it was just a short walk to the Keauhou Shopping Center where the Sea Paradise office is located. I found it cumbersome to confirm my reservation over the phone, so I went directly to the office to do so. (Photo: Since it was from the hotel, the office was in the building immediately to the right after entering from the lower entrance of the shopping center.) You walk past the Hilton to get to the port. They give you a map, so it's easy to find. As mentioned in the reviews, I rented a wetsuit next to the office. Everyone rented one. It takes just a little over 5 minutes from the port to the location where there is an English explanation. There were no other Japanese people besides my family. It's totally fine if you don't understand English. Each person receives a buoy, and (a large foreign man received two) you tuck it under your arm and enter the sea. As noted in the reviews, the best position is near the light. I absolutely recommend it. Mantas come right away, and their power is astonishing. About three of them circle around so closely that you can almost touch them.

Points:
- Be sure to rent a wetsuit.
- Position yourself near the light.
- While you tuck the buoy under your arm on the raft, when on the raft, hold it with your hands and bring the buoy to your feet to view it horizontally. If it's near your upper body, you may get seasick after about 40 minutes.

If possible, bring a digital camera that can record video; you'll be able to capture amazing footage. You can take beautiful pictures even without a flash. Since the manta's movements are fast, photos may come out blurry. I used a LUMIX FT-20 and captured some impressive videos.

If you're hesitating about whether to participate, I can assure you it will be a wonderful memory.

ハワイ島に到着した日に参加しました。ホテルがコナコーストリゾートだったのでシーパラダイス事務所があるケアホウショッピングセンターまでは歩いてすぐでした。電話で予約再確認をするのも面倒だったので直接事務所に行って予約再確認をしました。（写真：ホテルからだったのでショッピングセンターの下側の入り口から入ってすぐの右側の建物に事務所がありました。）港へはヒルトンの前を通っていきます。地図をくれるのですぐにわかります。書き込みにあるように事務所の隣でウェットスーツを借りました。全員借りていました。港からは5分ちょっとくらいで場所につき英語の説明があります。私たち家族以外は日本人はいませんでした。英語がわからなくても全く大丈夫です。うきうき棒を一人ずつもらい、（太っている外人の男の人は2本もらっていました）脇に挟んで海に入ります。書き込みにあったようにライトの近くがベストポジションです。絶対お勧めです。すぐにマンタがやってきてその迫力にびっくり。3匹くらいがほとんど触れるくらいに何度も旋回してやってきます。
ポイント
ウェットスーツは必ず借りる。

ライトの近くに陣取る。

うきうき棒はいかだまでは脇に挟んでいきますが、いかだでは手でいかだをもってうきうき棒は足の先に持っていき水平になって見ます。上半身にあると40分くらい入っていると波酔いしやすくなります。

できれば動画が撮れるデジカメを持っていくと素晴らしい動画が撮れます。フラッシュなしでもきれいに撮れます。写真はマンタの動きが速いのでぶれてしまいます。LUMIX FT-20で撮りましたが迫力ある動画が撮れました。

どうしようかと迷っている方は是非参加されたら素晴らしい思い出になること間違いありません。

We participated as a family. The beach nearby was wonderfully beautiful and soothing to the soul. However, I underestimated the situation, and almost no Japanese is spoken on the Big Island. As a result, I could hardly understand the content of the show, and checking the parking lot of the hosting hotel was quite a struggle. If you're not confident in your English, please make sure to check the parking in advance. Even without understanding the language, the dance and music of the show were enjoyable.

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Big Island Kayaking FUN

Reviewed by: Mark Mazzuca

We enjoyed the Keauhou Kayaking Adventure very much. The Staff was outstanding! They were patient and very capable kayakers. One led while the other stayed in the back for those that were a bit slower. We didn't feel rushed or exhausted, as Walter kept the pace based on the group's abilities. We had some pretty decent swells and were not able to get close to the Sea Cave, but the scenery was still incredible. The snorkeling stop was fun, and the Staff had enough masks/snorkels for everyone. There were some first-timers with our group and there were times when they struggled a bit, but in the parking lot afterwards said they had a great time. The Staff, again, was very patient with them and never made them feel like beginners. We own a kayak, so it was easy for us. . .but you may want to rent once on the mainland (or hotel) before you embark on this one, just to make the whole experience a little easier.

It depends on the weather. 天気次第

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I went in early October. The weather was bad, so it was cold, and I got out of the sea in less than 10 minutes. My friend endured the cold and stayed in the water until the last moment, but he was shivering the whole time until we got back.

When the weather is bad and the sun doesn't shine, the perceived temperature is low, and you end up going home without drying off, so it was very cold.

I was able to see dolphins swimming in the distance, and I think if the weather had been good, it would have been a very satisfying snorkeling experience.

10月初旬に行きました。
天気が悪かったので寒くて10分足らずで海から上がりました。
友人は寒いのに耐えてギリギリまで海に入っていましたが上がってから帰るまでの間ずっと震えていました。

天気が悪いと日が差さないため体感温度も低く身体も乾かないままに帰ることになるのでとても寒かったです。

遠くでイルカが泳いでるのを見ることができ天気さえよければ大満足のシュノーケリングが出来たと思います。

This was a great purchase! It was a great experience, the guide was awesome, and it was definitely something that cannot be done back home! My husband and I went on our honeymoon and book this activity for our first day in Hawaii. The description stated, Sea Cave Kayaking Adventure, but we got so much more! We kayaked, went to the sea cave, swam with dolphins, snorkeled, got to jump off a cliff, fed the mongoose, had a nice lunch, and learned a lot about sea life, not to mention the hundreds of different fish and sea life we got to encounter. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and always kept safety a priority! No question about it we would return time and time again!

Ocean rafting was exhilarating, as we sped towards the waves, making me want to shout with joy. The snorkeling was fantastic, with so many fish that I never got bored. We enjoyed chatting while eating fruits and snacks on board. Later, as we approached the cliffs, they showed us the rock layers and explained the lava formations. It was a lot of fun. The meeting point was a bit hard to find.

It was my first time, so I was a bit skeptical about rafting. It was quite fast and bouncy, and our captain playfully took sharp turns, making the journey to the snorkeling point a fun activity. The tour guide spoke only in English, so I couldn't understand anything, but they provided a Japanese printout before boarding.

We saw sea turtles twice in different locations, and the dolphins came close enough to swim alongside us. We even got to see baby dolphins jumping, which was a rare experience! The speed made the wind feel really nice, and I didn't realize how strong the UV rays were... My husband ended up getting sunburned to the point of peeling!

初だったのでラフティング？どんなかなあ・・と半信半疑の参加でした。

Ride on a speedboat. 高速ボートに乗って

Reviewed by: akki

First, I was told that I needed to reconfirm my reservation, but when I called, they said that if I had questions about directions or anything else, I should call, but if not, there was no need to call. I felt a bit let down by that. Since it was a morning tour, I parked my rental car at the free parking lot past the nearby ABC Mart. There are restrooms at the pier, and while it's possible to change there, as others have mentioned, it's better to come dressed for the occasion. On the day of the tour, staff members came under a green tent, and after handing over the voucher, I received a colored card that corresponds to the boat we would be taking. Groups were divided by the color of the card, and we signed a liability waiver, but there was no Japanese version of the form available when we went. After signing, we boarded the rubber boat by group and set off. Until we reached the bay, we made sudden turns and sped along at an incredible pace. We stopped at a spot where there were lots of dolphins, and they took their time there, providing excellent service. It was really fun, but my 70-year-old mother kept saying how scared she was. On the way back, she seemed to be enjoying it more, perhaps because she got used to it. The snorkeling was just okay. The clarity wasn't as good as I expected, and there weren't a huge variety of tropical fish. Still, I had a great time. The staff were very cheerful and fun, and I felt a bit guilty for needing their support for my elderly mother.

まず、予約の再確認が必要とのことでしたが、電話してみたら、行き方や他に何かわからないことがある場合は電話して聞く必要があるけど、特にそういうことでなければ電話は別にいらないわよ~と電話口で言われました。な~んだ、と拍子抜けはしました。当日は朝のツアーだったので、近くのABCマートの先にある無料駐車場にレンタカーを止めて参加。桟橋にトイレもあり、着替えもできないこともないのですが、皆さんの書き込み通り着替えていった方がベターです。当日緑のテントの下にスタッフの人が来て、バウチャーを渡すと乗るボートごとに色分けしたカードをもらえます。その色のカードを持っているグループごとに分かれ、いろいろ書いた責任注意事項の用紙にサインをしますが、私たちの時には書き込みにある日本語の用紙はありませんでした。サインした後、グループごとにゴムボートに乗り込み出発。湾に到着するまで、急に曲がったり、ものすごいスピードで突っ走ります。途中イルカがいっぱいいるところで止まってくれて、時間を取ってくれたり、サービス満点。本当に楽しいけど、７０歳の母はただ怖い怖いと言い続けてました。帰りは慣れてきたのか、楽しそうでしたが。シュノーケルはまぁまぁです。思ったほどの透明度はなく、魚も物凄い種類の熱帯魚がいるということではないので。それでも十分楽しめました。スタッフの方も凄い明るく楽しい人達で、７０歳の老人のサポートをしてくれて、申し訳なかったなぁとも思います。

Luau show in heavy rain 大雨のルアウショー

Reviewed by: コナ子

I had heard that the Kona area has little rain, but it seems this year has been quite rainy, and the day we attended the luau show was a disaster (crying).

First, we checked in at the luau desk in the hotel. It was popular, so there was a line, but it was completed smoothly. However, when we went out to the beach, there was a long line. The host was speaking amusingly, but those in the back couldn't hear at all. After entering, I purchased a women's dendrobium lei for $6 and a men's kukui lei for $5. We took a commemorative photo here, but due to the chaos from the heavy rain afterward, photos were not available for purchase anywhere.

We were seated at a table with Americans, greeting and shaking hands. Drinks were free, but since there was only one lady serving, there was another long line. The meal included poi and about three types of meat. The taste was American-style, which I liked.

Just as the meal began, it started to rain... what began as a light drizzle quickly turned into a decent downpour, and everyone was given bath towels to cover their heads. The tablecloth, the trays with food, and everything got soaked from the rain. The drinks were diluted by the rainwater.

Originally, there were supposed to be various activities before the meal, but as the rain intensified, everything was cleared away in about 15 minutes. We couldn't participate in anything. There was no whole roasted pig either. The main show ended up being super fast-paced and finished in no time (laughs). It was supposed to end after 8 PM, but surprisingly, it wrapped up by 6:30 PM, and the band, food, and audience all cleared out immediately.

Despite this disappointing experience, only a few people left their seats, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves to some extent until the end. I had high expectations based on good reviews, and since it was my first day on the Big Island, I was really looking forward to it, but it ended up being a letdown. I'm unsure if I would want to see it again next time.

コナ地区は雨が少ないと聞いていたが、今年は雨が多いらしく、私達がこのルアウショーに参加した日はさんざんでした（泣）

まずホテル内のルアウデスクでチェックイン。やはり人気で並んでましたがこれは簡単スムーズに完了。
しかしビーチに出てみると長蛇の列。司会進行役が面白おかしく喋っていますが、後方には全く聞こえず。
入場してから女性用デンファレレイを＄６で購入、男性用のククイレイは＄５。ここで記念写真を撮りますが、この後の大雨のバタバタで写真販売はどこでもされておらず買えず仕舞。

通された席はアメリカの方たちと同じテーブルで、挨拶したり握手したり。
ドリンクはフリーですが、おばちゃん一人で対応しているのでこれまた長蛇の列。食事はポイなどもあり、お肉の種類も３種類ほどありました。味もアメリカンな味で私は好きです。
さて食事が始まってすぐに雨が,,,小雨だったの束の間、そこそこの雨が降り出し、全員にバスタオルが配られ皆が頭からすっぽり白いタオルをずっとかぶってました。テーブルクロスも食事の入ったトレーも料理も全部雨でぐしょぐしょ。グラスのお酒は雨で薄まって水になってました。

本来なら食事前に色んなアクティビティがあったようですが、雨が強くなってどれも１５分ほどで撤収。何も参加できず。豚の丸焼きもありませんでした。
肝心のショーも超早送りであれよあれよという間に終わって（笑）２０時過ぎ終了予定がなんと１８時半には終わって、バンドも料理も観客も即撤収。
そんな散々な内容でしたが、席を立つ人は数名だけで、みんな最後までそれなりに楽しんでいました。

口コミも良く、初ハワイ島初日だったので期待していましたが、残念な結果に終わってしまいました。次回もう一回観るかは悩むなー

A beautiful blue sea and a gentle instructor. 綺麗な青い海と優しいインストラクター

Reviewed by: いわき

I participated in the first day of my honeymoon trip on September 20th.

It was my first time kayaking, but Noni, the female instructor, kindly taught me in Japanese, and Kevin, the other instructor, created a very enjoyable atmosphere in Japanese as well.

Kayaking while gazing at the beautiful blue sea and magnificent scenery was truly refreshing and an amazing experience!!!

The mystical experience inside the cave was also fantastic.

During snorkeling, we encountered large sea urchins and beautifully colored fish, and we even saw a sea turtle while we were there!! During the break, we dove in, lay on the lava, and took a natural lava bath nap. Above all, the pineapple we had after coming out of the sea was incredibly delicious.

It might require a bit of physical strength, but even beginners can easily kayak. If you are prone to motion sickness, it's definitely better to take some medication beforehand, as it could ruin the fun of the tour... I felt a bit nauseous myself...

On the way back, Noni kindly recommended some delicious restaurants near our hotel ( *^_^* ).

Thank you, Kevin and Noni, for your kind guidance and for providing such a fun experience!!!

9月20日に新婚旅行1日目に参加させていただきました。

初めてのカヤックでしたが、初めに女性のノニさんに日本語で優しく教えていただきインストラクターのケビンさんも、日本語でとても楽しい雰囲気の中参加することができました。

綺麗な青い海や壮大な景色を眺めながらのカヤック。本当に気持ち良くて最高の体験！！！

洞窟の中の神秘的な体験も最高です。

シュノーケリングでは、大きなうにや綺麗な色の魚、私たちが参加した時にはウミガメにも出会うことができました！！
休憩では、ダイブをしたり、溶岩の上で寝転がり天然の溶岩浴でお昼寝。何より海からあがってから頂いたパイナップルがおいしすぎました。

ちょっと体力が必要かな？と思いますが…初めてでも簡単にカヤックができます。乗り物酔いをする方は絶対に酔い止めを飲んでおいたほうがいいです。せっかくの楽しいツアーが台無しになるので…。私はちょっと気持ち悪くなってしまいました…。
帰りはノニさんにホテル近くのおいしいレストランなども教えていただきました（*^_^*）

ケビンさんノニさん優しく教えていただき、楽しい体験をさせていただきありがとうございました！！！

We went to the Big Island for our honeymoon and participated in ocean rafting on August 31. The staff only spoke English, but they kindly provided Japanese explanations for us. Upon arriving, we were supposed to call "Captain Zodiac," the company organizing the tour, for confirmation, but our English skills made it difficult to convey what we wanted to say, which was a bit challenging. However, the staff on the other end of the phone continued to explain how to get to the meeting point with great effort, and we could feel their determination to help us, which was very kind.

On the day of the tour, a male boat driver and a female captain (who acted a bit like a pirate) boarded the boat together. I was surprised by how to get on the boat. We sat on the inflated edges of the rubber boat, and as we hit the waves, it rocked violently while speeding along. If you weren't focused, it felt like you could be thrown off. It was incredibly thrilling, and I kept shouting "Waaaaaaah!!!! Gyaaaaaah!!!!" (laughs). There were eight of us participating together: a couple in their 40s to 50s, two grandmothers in their 60s, a Japanese parent and child, and us.

When we arrived at our destination, we enjoyed snorkeling in a coral reef filled with tropical fish. However, it was just after daylight saving time ended, and the temperature wasn't very high, so I got cold while in the water. Although we had time to swim again after lunch, I decided not to because I couldn't stop shivering. It was a shame since the coral reef was beautiful. It seemed that the spot we visited had cold water flowing from the mountains.

After enjoying snorkeling, we returned while looking at the famous sights along the coast from the sea. On the way back, we also sped along and made sharp turns with the boat, which was a lot of fun. I highly recommend this tour!

新婚旅行でハワイ島に行き、8月31日にオーシャンラフティングに参加しました。
スタッフは英語onlyでしたが、日本人用に日本語の説明書きを用意してくれていて親切でした。
現地に到着してから、このツアーを企画している「キャプテンゾディアック号」に確認の電話をすることになっていたのですが、私たちの英語力ではなかなか言いたいことが伝わらず、ちょっと苦労しました。ですが、電話のむこうのスタッフの方が、集合場所までの行き方などを一生懸命説明し続けてくれて、「なんとかつたえてあげなきゃ！」という気持ちが伝わってきて、親切な対応でした。
当日は、ボートの運転手（男性）と、案内をしてくれるキャプテン（海賊のイメージでちょっと悪っぽい感じに振舞う女性）が一緒にボートに乗り込みました。驚いたのが、ボートの乗り方です。ゴムボートの周りの膨らみの部分に腰をかけた状態で、波にぶつかり大きく縦揺れしながら、猛スピードで進んで行くのです。集中していなければ体が投げ出されてしまいそういでした。とってもスリリングで、ずっと「ワーーーーー！！！！！！！！ギャーーーーーーーーー！！」と叫んでいました（笑）一緒に参加していたのは、40~50代くらいのご夫婦、60代くらいのおばあちゃん２人組、日本人の親子、私たちの８人でした。行き着いた先では、トロピカルフィッシュが泳ぐ珊瑚礁でシュノーケリングを楽しみました。ただ、この頃はちょうどサマータイムが終わったころであり、気温があまり高くなかったため、海に入っている間に体が冷えてしまって、お昼を食べてからもう一度泳げる時間があったのですが、体の震えがとまらず泳ぐのを断念しました。せっかくきれいな珊瑚礁だったのに残念でした。特にそのスポットは山からの地下水が流れ出ており、少し水が冷たいところだったみたいです。
シュノーケリングを楽しんだあとは、海岸沿いにある名所を沖から眺めながら帰るという内容でした。帰りも猛スピードを出したり、ボートを極端に傾けてターンをしたりと、楽しませてくれました。
このツアーはおすすめです！！

野生のイルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜朝食・昼食付き＞

It was fun! たのしかったです！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a family. Since it was about wild dolphins, we were able to see a family of dolphins shortly after the boat started moving. At the front of the boat, we could also see many flying fish several times.

I wanted to see the dolphins a bit closer, but since snorkeling was the main activity this time, we traveled for about an hour.

For breakfast (light snacks), we could freely make our own bread and fruit, and the burgers for lunch were also delicious, along with fresh potato salad and vegetables. Maui chips were available as snacks, which was nice.

We could always have warm drinks, and there were many options for cold drinks. We could also have alcohol for an additional fee.

On the day of the trip, we were the only Japanese people, but the staff kindly supported us, which made us feel at ease. They lent us prescription masks, and the facilities were well-equipped with showers, noodle and glass-bottomed boards to see below. The snorkeling spot had high visibility, and the waves were at a safe height, allowing us to swim comfortably even in deeper areas.

On the way back, we were also able to see a turtle, and we were very satisfied.

野生のイルカということで、船が走り出してすぐにイルカの家族を見ることができました。船の先端では、たくさんのトビウオも飛ぶ姿も何度も見ることできます。
イルカを、もう少し近くで見たいところでしたが、今回はシュノ―ケリングがメインなのでしばらく一時間ほど移動しました。

朝食(軽食)のパンやフルーツ、昼食のバーガーも自分たちで自由に作ることができ、ポテトサラダや野菜も新鮮でおいしくいただけました。マウイチップスもスナックとしてあり良かったです。

また温かい飲み物は常時飲むことができ、冷たい飲み物の種類も多かったです。追加料金でお酒も飲むことができました。


当日、日本人は自分達だけでしたが、スタッフにやさしくサポートしてもらえたので安心でした。マスクも度付きのを貸出してもらい。ヌードルやグラスで下が見えるビート版等、シャワー完備と充実しておりました。シュノーケルのスポットは、透明度が高く、深くても安心して泳げる波の高さでした。

帰りにカメも見ることができ、とても満足しています。

Encountering wild dolphins 野生のイルカに遭遇

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I encountered wild dolphins. They jumped nearby and came as close as a few meters. The snacks were great, and the pineapple was very delicious. Since I was staying at the Sheraton Keauhou Bay, the meeting point was very close (about a 3-5 minute walk). You land on the rocks, so if you have marine boots, it's better to wear them. (If you don't have them, they will lend you a pair.)

野生のイルカに遭遇しました。
近くでジャンプをしたり、数メートルくらいまで近づいてきました。
スナック付きで、パイナップルがとてもおいしかったです。
シェラトンケアウホウベイに宿泊していたので、待ち合わせ場所もすぐ近くでした。(徒歩3-5分)
岩の上に上陸するので、マリンブーツを持っているなら履いていったほうが良いです。(ない場合は、貸してくれます。)

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

The feeling of having the ocean all to myself. 海を独り占めした感覚

Reviewed by: tsut-hymg

It was my first time kayaking, but thanks to Nino's careful instruction, I was able to paddle in the ocean with peace of mind. I experienced a sense of liberation and refreshment that I had never felt before.

There was a bit of a struggle with steering, leading to a mini battle between my child and me, but that was also quite fun. I got so into kayaking that I even wanted my own kayak.

The underwater scenery while snorkeling was captivating, resembling a dragon palace, but unfortunately, I got seasick and had to get back on the kayak midway. (I apologize for that, especially since Kevin found the best spot for us...) I am very grateful to Kevin and Nino for their constant encouragement and thoughtful care.

The kids mentioned that they were disappointed we didn't encounter dolphins or sea turtles and that we couldn't experience cliff diving, but instead, we were able to feel the great outdoors, which became a wonderful summer memory. (I believe the decision to skip cliff diving was made out of concern for my health.)

I was very thankful to receive the photos for free after returning home. If the opportunity arises, I would love to participate again.

初めてのカヤックでしたが、ニノさんが丁寧に教えてくれたお蔭で安心して海で漕ぐ事ができました。
今まで経験した事のない解放感と爽快感を味わえました。

若干、舵取りがうまくいかず親子でプチバトルがありましたが、それも何かと楽しいものでした。
ｍｙカヤックが欲しくなったくらいカヤックにはまってしまいました。

シュノーケリングをした海底は、まるで竜宮城のような景色で魅了されましたが、私だけ波酔いをしてしまい途中でカヤックに乗ってしまいました。
（せっかくケビンさんがベストスポットを探してくれたのにすみませんでした…）
ケビンさんとニノさんには、何度も声掛けをして頂き、細かな気遣いをしてくれた事を大変感謝しております。

イルカとホヌに出会えなかった事と、崖からのダイビングが体験できなかった事が残念だったと子供達は言ってましたが代わりに大自然を肌で感じる事が出来大変良い夏の思い出となりました。（崖のダイビングは私の体調不良を気遣ってくれての事だと思います）

帰国後に無料でお写真を送って頂けたのはとてもありがたく思いました。
機会がありましたら、また参加したいと思います。

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

I participated in the morning snorkeling. シュノーケリング（午前）に参加しました

Reviewed by: エディ

I participated in the morning tour with my wife. The entire guide was in English, but we received a Japanese notice sheet during check-in at the reception, which I think is almost the same as the verbal instructions given when boarding. As someone who struggles with English, I understood less than half, but reading the notice in advance helped me grasp the general idea. Just watching the beautiful coral reefs and colorful fish made me feel happy. On the way there, we even saw dolphins playing in the waves created by the boat. The food and drinks were more than enough to fill us up. There were many children present, so I believe people of all ages can enjoy this experience. There are also floaties available.

It seemed that most of the participants were travelers from the mainland United States, but there were a few other Japanese participants as well. However, I got the impression that the staff didn't engage much with the Japanese participants. Of course, it wasn't neglect; it might be due to the language barrier, leading to the impression that Japanese people are "hard to engage with." The staff properly offered equipment rentals and food and drink guidance, so it was reassuring, and I think it's perfectly fine to ask questions in broken English if you're unsure about something.

午前中のツアーに妻と参加しました。
すべて英語での案内ですが、受付でのチェックインの際に日本語の注意事項の用紙を渡されますので、乗船の際の口頭での内容とほぼ同じかと思います。英語が苦手な私は理解できたのは半分以下ですが事前に注意事項を読んでおけばなんとなく理解できます。綺麗なサンゴ礁にカラフルな魚を眺めているだけで幸せな気分でした。行きには船が作る並で遊ぶイルカも登場。食事や飲み物も充分お腹いっぱいになります。お子様もたくさんいらっしゃいましたし、老若男女が楽しめると思います。浮き輪もあります。
米国本土からの旅行者がほとんどのようでしたが、日本人参加者は他に数組いらっしゃいました。しかし、スタッフがあまり日本人に絡んでこない印象も。もちろん、放置ということでなくて、おそらく言葉の問題から日本人は「絡みにくい」という経験からの印象なのかもしれないですね。用具の貸し出しや飲食の案内などちゃんと声をかけてくれますので安心ですし、分からないことは遠慮なくカタコトで声をかければいいと思います。

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　ボイジャーズ・オブ・ザ・パシフィック（ロイヤルコナリゾート内）＜月・火・水・金催行／ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題／シェルレイ付＞

It was a beautiful sunset. 夕日の美しい日でした

Reviewed by: ラケル

The day I attended, the sunset was particularly beautiful, and everyone participating was taking commemorative photos with the sunset in the background. The luau show was a bit more compact than I had expected, but it was truly a wonderful show, showcasing the performers' dedication. The meal also featured plenty of traditional Hawaiian dishes, which I was very satisfied with.

参加した日は夕日が特に美しく、参加していた方々みなが夕日をバックに記念撮影をされていました。予想していたより少しコンパクトなルアウショーでしたが、さすが身体を張って働いているだけあって、すばらしいショーでした。
食事もハワイの伝統的なメニューがたっぷりと用意されており満足しました。

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

The guide was of high quality. ハイクオリティーなガイドさんです

Reviewed by: mipo

All the guides are advanced Japanese speakers, so there's no need to worry at all if you can't speak any English. After a very clear explanation of how to kayak, paddle, and some precautions, we headed straight to the sea. It was incredibly refreshing.

Everyone else in my group felt a bit seasick, but as soon as we started snorkeling, it seemed to go away. The guide suggested that when you're not feeling well, it's better to get into the water, and once I did, I felt much better right away. I was amazed by the power of nature.

Moreover, guides Kevin and Noni were attentive to our condition and well-being, which made it easy to participate with peace of mind. I think even elderly people can manage this activity without any issues.

The pineapple we ate on the kayak was incredibly delicious. I thought I had never tasted such a delicious fruit before. They also prepared juice, tea, and muffins.

I thought it would be difficult to take photos on the water, but the guide took pictures for us and sent them to our PCs after we returned home, all for free. It was such a delightful service. I must say, the photos turned out great.

This tour is full of hospitality. I highly recommend participating!

ガイドさんは皆、上級の日本語話者なので、英語が全くしゃべれなくても、全く心配いりません。カヤックの乗り方、こぎ方、注意事項をとてもわかりやすい説明の後、早速海へ。
素晴らしく爽快な気分になれました。
私以外、一緒に行った人皆、少し船酔いぎみでしたが、シュノーケルを始めた途端、治ったようです。気分が優れないときは、海に入った方が良いとガイドさんに言われ、入ったら、すぐに良くなったみたいです。大自然の力ってすごいなと思いました。
それに、ガイドのケビンさんも、ノニさんも、こちらの体調や様子をよく見てくださっていて、安心して参加できました。
高齢者の方でも十分いけると思います。
カヤックの上で食べたパイナップルは、最高に美味しかったです。こんなに美味しい果物は食べたことないと思ったほどです。他にも、ジュースやお茶やマフィンなど用意してありました。
海の上ではなかなか写真を撮れないと思っていましたが、ガイドさんが、ちゃんと撮って帰国後、PCに送ってくださいます。もちろん、無料で。とってもうれしいサービスです。自分で言うのもなんですが、かっこよく撮れてました。
ホスピタリティー溢れるツアーです。ぜひ、参加してみてください。

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Would do again in a hearbeat!

Reviewed by: Liz G.

My granddaughter (14 yrs old) and I did this kayak snorkeling trip last month (July 27, 2012) and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! We had never kayaked before but had snorkled quite a few times over on Oahu. Our group of 11 included both experienced and novice kayakers. The guides (especially Brent) were helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and especially patient with us newbies. Water visibility was fantastic. We saw an abundance of different fish when we stopped to snorkel and were lucky enough to have a pod of dolphins come within 15 feet of us. That alone made the experience memorable. Water bottles were provided on the kayaks and when we stopped we snacked on drinks, chips and fresh delicious pineapple. I would strongly recommend wearing water shoes/sandals in order to be able to easily climb up to the lava cliff to make the jump. Would I do this snorkeling trip again? In a heartbeat!!!

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 Hawaiian Luau! 伝統的なハワイアンルアウ！

Reviewed by: やまちゃん＆ゆみちゃん

This was our fourth trip to Hawaii as a couple, and it was our first time on the Big Island. I was really looking forward to seeing an authentic outdoor luau show for the first time as well. Overall, it was excellent.

I had checked reviews beforehand about the need to "line up before entering the venue," so after checking into our hotel (it was the night of our arrival, and we were staying at the King Kamehameha), we took care of the process right away. They gave us a paper with the reception time, but even though we arrived about 30 minutes early, there was quite a line! Most of the audience were Westerners, with only about 20% being Japanese. Normally, it seems that Japanese guests are seated together, which allows for taking photos and chatting, but we were seated at a table with only Westerners, with no Japanese guests at all...

We were seated at one of the end seats in the front row facing the stage, which was very calming. We could see the ocean and the Ahuena Heiau in the background, and we had a great view of the dancers' entrance scenes, which made us very satisfied.

I wanted to experience the traditional imu ceremony at least once, and it was good, but after experiencing it once, I think I'm okay with it... (The smell was quite strong since they steam the pig at high temperatures.)

The food was traditional and served buffet-style, so we could enjoy a variety of dishes. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, which was nice, but since our table was at the front, it was quite a trek to get to the drink station.

They also showcased dances from neighboring islands, which was great. As a fellow hula dancer, I was able to observe from various angles, and it was a good learning experience.

Unfortunately, it started to rain heavily during the show, and it ended quite a bit earlier than scheduled, which was a bit disappointing.

Overall, I was a bit anxious about not having any Japanese guests around, but we still had a great time, so it was very good.

夫婦でのハワイ旅行は、4度目にして、初めてのハワイ島でした。
また、屋外での、本格的なルアウショーを観るのも初めてでしたので、とても楽しみにしていました。
結果としては、◎でした。

「会場に入るまで並ぶ」というのを事前にクチコミでチェックしていたので、ホテルチェックイン後（到着日の夜だったのと、ちょうど宿泊先がキングカメハメハだったので）すぐに、手続きをしました。
受付時間を書いた紙をその場でくれたのですが、それでも、少し早めの30分前位に会場へ行ったにも関わらず、結構並んでいました！！
観覧客はほとんどが欧米人で、日本人は2割位だったかと思います。
また、通常は、日本人は日本人同士でテーブルセッティングしてくださるみたいですが（写真を撮り合ったり、お話したりできるから）、私達夫婦は、日本人がひとりもいない、欧米人のみのテーブルへ通されました・・・

ステージ側の前の方の、一番端の席だったため、とても落ち着き、バックには海とアフエナヘイアウ、ダンサーたちの登場シーンもよく見ることができ、とても満足でした。

伝統的なイムセレモニーは、一度は経験したかったので、よかったですが、一度経験すれば、もういいかな。。。
（豚さんを高温で蒸し焼きするので、匂いがかなりきつかったのです）

お食事は伝統的なもので、ビュッフェ式でしたので、いろいろ楽しめました。
ドリンクも飲み放題で、こちらもよかったのですが、テーブルが前の方だったので、その分、ドリンクの所へたどり着くまでが、とても遠かったです。

ハワイだけでなく、近隣の島々の踊りも織り交ぜながら、披露してくださいます。
同じフラダンサーとしては、いろいろな角度から、観させていただき、よい勉強になりました。

途中で雨がたくさん降ってきてしまい、時間よりもかなり早く終わってしまい、それが少し残念でした。

全体的には、日本人が周りにいなくて不安はありましたが(^^ゞ
それでも楽しめたので、とてもよかったです。
