It was a large boat, so I didn't mind the rocking. It probably depends on the sea conditions, but last year, when my mother participated in a different tour, she got seasick and had to sit out. This time, she finished her hamburger for lunch. At the snorkeling point, we encountered a sea turtle. On the way back, dolphins chased the boat.
I recommend the pricing for accompanying passengers. Even if snorkeling isn't possible, it's great for families who want to enjoy cruising together.
大きな船なので、船揺れが気になりませんでした。
海のコンディションにもよるのでしょうが、去年別のツアーに参加した際は船酔いでダウンしていた母が、今回はランチのハンバーガーを完食していました。
シュノーケルポイントではウミガメと遭遇。帰路はイルカが船を追いかけてきました。
同乗者料金の設定があるもお勧めポイント。
シュノーケルは無理でも、クルージングは同行したい家族連れに嬉しいですね。

There were interesting parts, like digging up the pig, but the prices felt too high. The fire dance at Fukushima's Hawaiians is much better. The food wasn't delicious. Also, it rained during our visit, and we got soaked. The hotel parking is only free for three hours. If it were around 5,000 yen, I could somewhat recommend it.
豚を掘り起こすところなど、面白い部分もありましたが、値段が高過ぎな印象です。
ファイアーダンスは、福島のハワイアンズの方がすごいです。

The boat was rocking violently, and my partner got seasick. The meals didn't suit Japanese tastes at all. This tour seems to be aimed at Westerners with strong stamina. Also, it costs $210 for a round trip by taxi from Hilton Waikoloa. While I take full responsibility for mistakenly booking this thinking it was a dinner cruise in Oahu, I think it would be considerate to mention the level of rocking and the time and transportation options from each resort to the port.
船の揺れが激しく、パートナー撃沈。食事も日本人に全く合いません。強靭な体力を持った欧米人向けのツアーですね。また、ヒルトンワイコロアからは、タクシーで往復210ドルかかります。全ての責任は、オアフ島のディナークルーズと勘違いして申し込んだ当方にありますが、出来れば、それなりに揺れること、また、各リゾートからの港までの時間と交通手段を書いておいてあげると親切かと思います。
アロハ、

この返信に、年間を通じて多くの日本人ゲストが私たちを訪れ、素晴らしい体験をしていることを含めたいと思います。また、私たちの豪華なビュッフェディナーに加えて、リクエストに応じて48時間前に通知いただければ、ビーガン、ベジタリアン、グルテンフリーの乗客にも対応できることをお伝えしたいと思います。ディナークルーズでは、実際にすることは座っていることだけなので、私たちはこのアクティビティがあらゆる形、サイズ、体力レベルの人々に適していると強く感じています。すべての年齢の子供たちが私たちに参加しています。

Aloha,
We are so disappointed to see that you didn't enjoy your experience. We appreciate your business, and want all of our guests to have their best day in Hawaii with us.
We would like to include in this reply that many Japanese guests join us all year long and have wonderful experiences. We would also like to mention that in addition to our elaborate buffet dinner spread, we can accommodate vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free passengers with 48 hours notice upon request. Since, on a dinner cruise, all that any person really has to do physically is sit, we feel strongly this activity is advisable for people of all shapes, sizes, and strength levels. Children of all ages join us.
We wish you would have brought your experience to our attention. We would have loved an opportunity to make it right! We hope you enjoyed the rest of your vacation, and hope you come back to Hawaii some day soon!

My wife and I did not have a car for the week but wanted to see the Island for what it had to offer. This tour came to our Hotel and picked us up as well as brought us back and gave a view of the Island most people would not be able to see. Our driver Nathan was excellent and gave us a relaxed and informed trip and even gave us some extra insights that a book would not give. The views were amazing and gave you an option if you wanted to come back and stay for more indepth viewing. I would recommend going with a tour to really get the flavor of the Island.

It is hard to know which cruise to book--well this is the one I would go with each time! The crew were knowledgable and respectful! As we came into the bay, their were a pod of spinner dolphins; we kept a respectful distance but we all got to take photos. Then when we pulled into anchor and snorkel, they made sure we knew to keep our distance from where the dolphins were swimming, since the dolphins come to the bay to rest it is even more important for people to give them their space--so impressed with the crew.
The snorkeling was beautiful. The coral was amazing and at many different levels with sooo many different species of fish!! Fabulous!

I participated in a 150-meter parasailing tour. It was my first experience. I parked my rental car in the public parking lot of the Kamehameha Hotel, where the reception office is located! (After checking in, if you hand over the parking ticket, you can get a discount on parking fees for up to three hours. Don't forget your parking ticket if you park there.)
All communication with the reception staff was in English. The instructions for how to ride and safety guidelines were in Japanese, though. After completing the check-in, I was informed of the meeting time and took a little break.
We headed to the pier, boarded the boat, and set off! The parasailing goes up to about 40 meters high. I thought it would be more windy, but it felt like I was floating gently, and it wasn't scary at all. My friend, who has a fear of heights, was able to ride normally too.

受付の人と話すのは、すべて英語でした。乗り方や安全の説明書みたいのは日本語でしたけど。受付を済ますと集合時間を教えてもらって
少し休憩。

This is a winter limited event, so I thought I had to go this time! There were hardly any Japanese people, and the explanations were in English, but I was able to enjoy the atmosphere! As for the whales, I was able to see their tails and spouts, although it was from quite a distance. I think there were quite a few of them. However, I couldn't see them as close as it was mentioned on the reservation site, so that was a bit different from my expectations.

Every year during New Year's, I go to the Big Island (Waikoloa) and Oahu. My wife and I had our first submarine experience, and I couldn't believe we were diving more than 17 to 20 meters underwater. It was moving to see the ocean floor, coral reefs, various fish, and turtles. It was a wonderful experience.
There are four departures a day, but we chose the morning course with explanations and guidance in Japanese. Although the voice was a bit hard to hear, I was glad we chose the Japanese guidance. However, I was at the Atlantis office, and the explanations for the pier and boarding area were very unclear. I think it would have been better if there were signs or something similar.

I was looking for activities that even a one-year-old child could enjoy, and this was perfect for us! The colorful fish were clearly visible through the beautiful glass bottom of the boat, and luckily, we even encountered a pod of dolphins. The dolphins came right up next to the boat, which was so much fun.
The guide was very knowledgeable about the fish and was a wonderful person with a great sense of service. The explanations were in English, so those who understand English will enjoy it more, but even if you don't understand, the beauty of the sea itself means you won't be disappointed.
The boat ride lasts about an hour. The sea was calm, and the boat didn't rock, but since you tend to look down at the glass bottom, I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to seasickness to take some motion sickness medication. The meeting point was easy to find, and I think you'll spot the boat with the blue and yellow flags right away.
I definitely want to use this service again next time!
1歳の子供でも楽しめるアクティビティを探していたのですが、こちらはそんな私たちにぴったりでした!
カラフルな魚が、キレイなボートのグラス越しによく見えますし、ラッキーなことに、イルカの群にも遭遇できました。イルカたちは、ボートのすぐ側まで来てくれてとても楽しかったです。
ガイドさんは魚の知識が豊富で、サービス精神の溢れた素敵な方でした。説明は英語なので、英語が分かる方が楽しめますが、仮に分からなかったとしても海そのものが美しいので困るということはないと思います。
乗船時間は1時間ほどです。海は穏やかで船は揺れませんでしたが、うつむいて船底のガラスを眺めるので、船に酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲まれた方がいいと思います。集合場所もわかりやすく、青と黄色の旗をつけたボートをすぐに見つけられると思います。
また次回も利用したいと思います!

The manta rays really swirl right in front of you. You can almost touch them if you reach out, and they even bump into your underwater goggles or the camera you’re holding. It was an incredibly thrilling tour. The downside was the language barrier. My husband and I were the only Japanese people there, so we didn’t understand most of the explanations, but it was still manageable. Also, it was quite cold. The ocean at night gets chilly. The people around us didn’t seem to mind as much, so if you’re not sensitive to the cold, you should be fine.
While looking at the voucher at the hotel, I realized I had overlooked the part about confirming by phone at 4 PM. We were supposed to check in at a store in the shopping center at 6 PM and gather at the local port at 6:30 PM. We originally planned to have an early dinner near the shopping center, and since I wasn’t confident in my English skills, I went directly to the store before 4 PM, and they helped me with the check-in process then. For those staying at the Sheraton, you can depart from the port, which is just a short walk from the hotel, so you don’t need a car.
本当にマンタが目の前でぐるぐる回ります。手を伸ばせば触れるくらい、というか、水中メガネや手に持っていたカメラに、マンタからぶつかってくるくらいです。大迫力のツアーでした。難点は英語。日本人は私たち夫婦のみで、説明はほぼ分かりませんでしたが、それでも大丈夫、何とかなります。それと、結構寒いです。夜の海は冷えます。周りの人たちはそうでもなかったので、寒がりじゃなければ大丈夫でしょうか。ホテルでバウチャーを見ていると、16時に電話で確認というのを見落としていましたのに気付きました。18時にショッピングセンターにある店にチェックイン、18時半に現地の港に各自集合となっていましたが、元々ショッピングセンター近くで早めの夕食をとる予定で、電話は英語力に自信がなかったため、直接16時前に店に行き、その時にチェックイン手続きもしてくれました。シェラトンに宿泊している人は、ホテルから歩いてすぐの港から出発しますので車がなくても大丈夫です。
ご参加いただきありがとうございます。マンタツアーを楽しんでいただけたことを嬉しく思います。

During my stay on the Big Island, I saw parasailing and wanted to try it, so I made a last-minute reservation two days prior. Before boarding the boat, we confirmed safety instructions at the office, and there were also materials available in Japanese! Most of the communication on the boat was in English, but with gestures and body language, I was fine even though I don't speak English, so I think you don't need to worry. It's best to wear your swimsuit, as you will get wet. You can bring your own camera and hold it while flying, which is allowed. I didn't sign up for it, but it seemed like you could also request paid options for photos and videos on the day if you wanted.

We did not have the best experience, but I think it's based more on our skill level than the tour itself. If you're not in good shape (physically fit) it can be difficult. Make sure you use sunscreen ahead of time. The instructions when we signed up said that you would be provided reef safe sunscreen, however, that was not offered. The rocks are difficult to climb up on and if you don't have proper foot wear you can be easily injured. I think the tour is probably great for more "fit" people... We don't know because we left halfway through. I would stress that there is risk involved in this activity and life jackets are provided but not mandatory (in my opinion should be mandatory).

The marine activity introduced in the program "Ariyoshi's Summer Vacation" was truly enjoyable. The handsome guide who appeared on the show supported us during the experience.
On the day I participated, there were two groups, making a total of five people: a nice guy as the guide, two Japanese men, and two foreign women. We gathered at the meeting point at 9 AM. The office isn't located on the beach at Keauhou Bay; instead, they transport the kayaks using a pickup truck and trailer. We headed towards a general location, and if we were unsure, there were offices of other activity tour companies nearby where we could show our voucher and kindly ask for directions.
In the program, it seemed that the waves were too high to enter the caves, but on the day I participated, we were able to experience everything without any issues. We even got to dive from a considerable height of cliffs, which made the activity feel incredibly fulfilling.
After the tour, I was invited to lunch, but I had other plans for the afternoon, so I declined. However, I think I would have enjoyed it if I had gone.
When getting out of the water during snorkeling, there were times when the waves pulled us back, causing some scrapes and cuts on the lava rocks. One of my companions actually got a small cut on their finger and foot. I recommend bringing not only marine shoes but also marine gloves.
有吉の夏休み、という番組でも紹介されたマリンアクティビティ。まさに、その時番組に出てた男前ガイドさんがサポートしてくれました。

午前9時に現地集合。ケアウホウ湾のビーチにオフィスがあるわけではなく、ピックアップトラックとトレーラーにカヤックを載せて運んでくるスタイル。だいたいの場所を目指して行き、わからなければ他のアクティビティツアー会社の事務所があるので、バウチャーを見せて聞けば親切に案内していただけました。
番組では、波が高く洞窟には入れなかったようですが、私の参加した日は問題なくすべて体験できました。相当な高さのクリフからもダイブすることが出来、アクティビティのやった感は半端ないです。
ツアー終了後にランチに誘われましたが、午後からの予定を別に組んでいたためお断りしましたが、行っても楽しめただろうな~。
シュノーケリングから岩場に上がる際、波の引き戻しで溶岩の岩場で擦り傷切り傷を負うことがあり、実際に同行者が指と足を少しだけ切りました。マリンシューズだけでなくマリングローブの持参がお勧めです。

I was able to swim with a lot of dolphins. They came so close that it was almost unbelievable. It was a little scary, as I thought we might collide. It was the most moving experience I've ever had. However, I was surprised that there was no guide; only the captain was present. The captain signaled from the boat, and I had to make my own judgment and move in that direction. I think this might be tough for first-timers. A guided tour where someone swims with you would definitely be more reassuring. I can speak enough English, so I had no trouble communicating. The captain's English was also easy to understand, so I recommend it for those with snorkeling experience. I was looking forward to snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay, but since we went after swimming with the dolphins, the intensity of the dolphins made the fish feel a bit underwhelming. However, I was lucky to see a whale on the way to Kealakekua Bay.
イルカとたくさん泳げました。信じられないくらいイルカが近づいてきてくれました。ぶつかるんじゃないかとちょっと怖いくらい。今までで一番の感動でした。ただびっくりしたのはガイドがいなかったこと。船長のみでした。船長が船から合図を送ってその方向に自分で判断して移動しなければなりません。これは初めての人にはきついんじゃないかと思います。一緒に泳いでくれるガイド付きのツアーの方がやっぱり安心です。英語はそれなりに話せるのでコミュニケーションには困りませんでしたが。船長の英語も聞き取りやすいので、シュノーケル経験者の方にはおすすめです。ケアラケクア湾のシュノーケルは楽しみにしていたのですが、イルカの後にいくので、イルカの迫力がすごすぎて魚では物足りない感じがしました。ただ、ケアラケクア湾に行く途中でクジラを見れたのはらっきーでした。

A 9-year-old child participated.
At first, they received lectures about sea turtles in a space next to the lagoon. After that, they had a lecture to interact with dolphins, followed by a hands-on experience in the lagoon.
So, while the time is stated as 20 minutes, that is the time spent interacting with the dolphins; in reality, I think we spent about an hour and a half to two hours in total.
The experience activity is quite pricey, but in return, you receive thorough lectures, and the satisfaction level is high. Since the age range for Kids Quest is 5 to 9 years, I felt it was the last chance for my child at this age, and I'm glad we participated.
All lectures and instructions are in English, but they explain things clearly with gestures, so even children can understand well.

はじめはラグーン横のスペースでウミガメなどの講義を受けます。その後イルカとふれあうためのレクチャーを受け、ラグーンでふれあい体験となります。
ですので、時間は20分とありますが、それはイルカとふれあっている時間で、実際には1時間半から2時間程度時間を費やしていたと思います。
体験アクティビティとしてはなかなかのお値段ですが、その分しっかりとレクチャーを受けられ、満足度は高いものです。キッズクエストの対象年齢が5~9歳なので年齢的に最後のチャンスだと思い、参加させて良かったです。
なお、講義やレクチャー等全て英語ですが、ジェスチャーを交えてわかりやすく説明してくれるので、子どもでも十分理解していました。

Thanks to the first day of Golden Week, we were lucky to have the place to ourselves and could paddle at our own pace.
Both of us were complete beginners at kayaking, but we were taught very carefully, and their Japanese was excellent, which made us feel at ease.
We were able to enjoy snorkeling at a leisurely pace without feeling rushed until we were satisfied. They even provided us with food, which attracted a lot of fish.
However, despite the cloudy sky, I ended up getting a good sunburn, so I recommend applying plenty of sunscreen.
My first kayaking experience left my arms tired, but I enjoyed the ocean in Hawaii.
ゴールデンウィークの初日のおかげか、当日は私たち夫婦だけの貸し切りで、自分たちのペースで漕ぐことが出来てラッキーでした。
二人とも全く初めてカヤックを漕いだのですが、とても丁寧に教えていただき、日本語もお上手だったので安心出来ます。
シュノーケルも私たちが納得するまで時間も急かさずゆっくりと楽しめました。えさも与えてくれたのでお魚もたくさん集まってきました。
ただ曇り空にも関わらず、しっかり日焼けをしましたので、日焼け止めはたっぷりと塗った方が良いと思います。
初カヤックは腕が疲れましたが、ハワイの海を楽しめました。

My wife wanted to play with dolphins, so she participated alone. I didn't join and just watched from the side, but opportunities to interact closely with dolphins are rare. It looked like she was having a great time just watching. When I asked her later, she said it was really fun, and I thought to myself that I should have participated too. It does come with a certain cost, but considering the emotional experience you gain, I think it's worth participating!
妻がイルカと遊んでみたいというので妻のみ参加しました。私は参加せず傍らで見ていただけですが、間近でイルカとふれあえる機会などそうあることではありません。みているだけでも楽しそうでした。
あとで妻に聞いてみても、すごい楽しかったようで、私も参加しておけばなぁ…と思いました。
それなりの費用はかかりますが、得られる感動を思えば参加してみてもいいと思います!

We chose to have dinner at the hotel on our first day upon arriving in Hawaii. To avoid travel fatigue, we decided on a hotel dinner. The beautiful cocktails were delicious, and the food was great as well. It was a dinner that made us even more excited for the rest of our stay!
ハワイ島到着初日のディナーに選びました。
移動疲れを残さないためホテルでのディナーにしました。
きれいなカクテルも美味しかったし料理の方も良かったです。
翌日以降の滞在がより楽しみになる夕食でした!
