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＞

Going to the Big Island to see manta rays. マンタを見にハワイ島へ

Reviewed by: Shoko

During my first cruise around the Hawaiian Islands, I had to sadly give up on seeing the wild manta rays in Kona due to a lack of time. This time, as a diver, I stayed at the Sheraton Hotel with an ocean view in Keauhou to see the mantas. The meeting point was conveniently just a five-minute walk from the hotel.

I was torn between diving and snorkeling, but choosing snorkeling turned out to be the right decision. However, since mantas can be scared away, fins were prohibited, and we were instructed to wear a float called a noodle around our feet when entering the water from the boat. This meant I had to hold onto a lighted aluminum bar connected to the boat with my left hand while filming with my right hand. The mantas, swirling and gulping down the plankton attracted by the lights, were truly breathtaking. They came so close that I could almost touch them. It was so moving that I went again two days later! I was thrilled to encounter mantas at such a close distance, something every diver dreams of. Although the photos didn’t turn out well due to the darkness and the mantas moving, the videos were perfect. The staff at Sea Paradise were friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable.

The Sea Paradise office is located near the supermarket in the Keauhou Shopping Center. It opens at 7 AM, so I stopped by after breakfast to hand over my coupon, which meant I didn’t have to call at 4 PM to borrow a wetsuit. Other necessary gear was provided once we boarded the boat.

It was November, but it wasn’t cold at all, and it took only about five minutes from the manta site to the port. I changed and had a meal at the restaurant's restroom at the dock. Next time, I want to go with my daughter.

ハワイ諸島を巡るクルーズで初めてコナに行った時は時間がなく泣く泣く諦めた野生マンタ。ダイバーの今回はマンタを見るためにKeauhouにあるシェラトンホテルのオーシャンビューにステイ。集合場所がホテルの直ぐ側で徒歩5分と便利でした。
ダイビングがいいのかシュノーケリングが良いか迷いましたが、シュノーケリングにして大正解でした。但し、マンタが怖がるのでフィンは使用禁止、ボートから海に入るときには足に引っ掛けるヌードルと呼ばれるフローターを足に付けるように指示されるので、実際には左手でボートに繋がっている照明付きのアルミ製のバーに掴まって右手で動画を撮るといった感じです。照明で集まったプランクトンを回転しながら飲み込んでいくマンタ達は圧巻です。顔スレスレに近づいてきます。あまりに感動的で翌々日にもう１回！ダイバー憧れのマンタにこんな至近距離でお目にかかれるとは感激です。写真は照明があっても暗くマンタは動いているのでなかなか上手に撮れませんでしたが動画はバッチリでした。シーパラダイスのスタッフもフレンドリーで楽しさを倍増させてくれました。シーパラダイスのオフィスはKeauhou ショッピングセンター内のスーパーマーケット付近にあります。朝7時からオープンしてるので朝食を食べた帰りに立ち寄りクーポンを渡したので4時に電話する必要もなくウェットスーツを借りて帰りました。その他必要なギア等はボートに乗ってから渡されます。
11月でしたが全く寒くなく、マンタのサイトから港までほんの5分くらいでした。船着場にあるレストランのトイレで着替えて食事をしました。次回は娘と一緒に行きたいと思っています。

Grand Circle Island Tour - Volcano, Black Sand Beach, Waipio Valley & Waterfalls

Excellent Big Island Tour!

Reviewed by: James

We were out in Honolulu on our first trip to Hawaii. My girlfriend and I purchased the Small Group Circle Island, Waipio Valley & Volcanoes National Park out of quite a few similar guided tours around the Big island. It was a fun experience that helped us learn quite a lot about the Big Island, geographic facts, ancient legends, etc. This drive is about 10 hours or so and is on and off the beaten path. Different from Honolulu and Oahu, this mostly rural island has its own culture, farmers’ markets, tropical rain forests, and black, green, and white sand beaches. Our tour guide was awesome (and I totally forgot his name) and a great story teller. He was punctual in picking us up from the Kona airport. Although the weather didn't really cooperate that particular day, it was rain and cold, our tour guide made it fun with providing us all kinds of great information as well as a really smooth ride. It was obvious he loves what he does and where he lives. The sights and landscapes were incredible - black, green and white sand beaches, lava fields, waterfalls, etc. Our approximately 250 miles tour (long but fascinating) touched at first the Parker Ranch in Waimea the bay-side town of Hilo and an orchid nursery. We stopped at the Waipio Valley Lookout, a must see location. The lookout offers sweeping views of the valley, which is breathtakingly beautiful even though the weather was very cloudy and it probably took away from the experience. We stopped at the Mauna Loa a macadamia farm and packaging place for lunch and snacks. We stopped at the Rainbow Falls very close to Hilo. It is a shorter visit with great photo ops. An absolutely fabulous view and yes, we did see a rainbow. At the Volcano National Park we saw smoke but no lava flows from the viewing area but walked through a lava tube. The black sand beach is one that is different to anything else we saw so far. We counted 12 turtles resting on the beach. My girlfriend and I highly recommend this guided tour.

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

Best time ever

Reviewed by: Katherina Tcheprasov

That was my first surfing lesson and I had a great time! The coaches were very nice, helpful and tried hard to choose the best waves for us to go on. We were registered to come in the early morning but they called and told us that there was no wind at the time and no good waves for surfing. Instead they suggested to come a bit later. We arrived later in the day when waves were pretty good. The place is really well suited for starters. I really enjoyed the experience and had a wonderful time surfing! I really recommend this surfing lesson because it was beyond my expectation.
My father asked for advanced board and they easily accommodated his request and helped him to advance to the level of driving such a board.

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

Great for Kids

Reviewed by: S. Doyle

This was my children's first introduction to surfing. I really liked how they could have a private instructor who rode the board with them. My son is 5 and my daughter is 7. She has high functioning autism and struggles with anxiety but she really wanted to give it a try. The instructors were really great with both of our kids. The waves were pretty minimal and we had the option to cancel, but the kids would have been so disappointed so we decided to go anyway. Both kids managed to stand up and my daughter did indeed ride a small wave. The pre-lesson on dry land in the office is really useful, especially since they use visuals which really meets my daughter's learning style. We would love to do this again, and next time mom and dad want to give it a try too.

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

I had a great time. 楽しめました。

Reviewed by: 家族旅行

Since it was our first time in Hawaii with the whole family, we were looking for activities that we could enjoy all day long. My mother found this activity online and wanted us all (five people) to participate. What she liked about it was that the boat looked fun, we could go snorkeling, and we could see caves!

When we arrived on the day of the activity and went to the office to check in, I thought my mother, who doesn't speak English, would have trouble understanding since it was English only. However, there was a guide paper in Japanese, and they spoke slowly and clearly, which made me feel relieved.

Since we didn't wear swimsuits, we were told to change in the restroom as there were no changing rooms, so I recommend wearing your swimsuit from the hotel. There were only eight people in our group, so the boat felt spacious, and perhaps because of the private atmosphere, everyone felt like friends, taking pictures and looking for dolphins, which was a lot of fun.

For snorkeling, there were life jackets and some kind of floatation aids available, so even those who are not good swimmers could enjoy snorkeling safely, and the kids had a great time too.

One disappointing thing was the cave. I found myself wondering, "Is this it?" Since it was labeled as caving, I had high expectations. However, if you think of it as just a fun activity with dolphin watching and snorkeling, it was a worthwhile experience, and we had a meaningful time.

初めて家族全員でのハワイなので一日中遊べるアクティビティーを探していた所、母がこのアクティビティーを希望し全員(5人)で参加させていただきました。
　母がネットで見て気に入った所は、まずボートが楽しそうでシュノーケリングまで出来て洞窟も観られる！でした。

　当日現地に着いて受付を済ませるためオフィスに行くと英語オンリーでの対応だったので英語の話せない母には理解出来ないだろうなぁ～なんて思っていたら日本語のガイドペーパーがあり、ゆっくり分かりやすく話してくれたので安心しました。
　私達は水着を着ていかなかったので現地で着替える際、更衣室は無くトイレで着替えるよう言われたのでホテルから着込んで行く事をおすすめします。
　私達が参加した回は8人しかおらずボートが大きく感じプライベート感覚の為か船上ではみんな友達の様になって写真を撮り合ったりイルカを探したりしてとても楽しかったです。
　シュノーケリングではライフジャケットをはじめ浮き棒？みたいな補助具が積んであるので泳ぎが不得意な人も安心してシュノーケリングが出来て子供たちも一緒に楽しみました。
　一つ残念だった事は洞窟？これが？って思ってしまう所です。cavingと書いてあるから期待してるだけでボートに乗ってイルカ観てシュノーケリングだと思えば楽しいアクティビティーで、有意義な時間を過ごせました。

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＞

I couldn't become a diver, but... ダイバーにはなれなかったけど…

Reviewed by: happa

I took a taxi to the Careho Shopping Center, borrowed a sweat suit at the office, and put it on over the swimsuit I was wearing. Then, I got back into the waiting taxi and headed to Careho Bay, where the boat was docked. There were only my partner and me, the only Japanese people there. I felt anxious, but looking at the people around me, I realized it would be fine.

Once we got out to sea, we all took the noodles, which are floating devices, and gradually lowered them from under our arms down to our ankles while putting on our snorkels, waiting for the manta rays to come close to the lights. It felt like being a diver inside an aquarium. The manta rays came so close to my face and body; it was incredibly impressive. That sensation was moving and thrilling, and it's definitely worth experiencing at least once!

　ケアホウショッピングセンターへタクシーで乗り付け、スエットスーツを事務所で借り、着ていった水着の上に着込み、待ってもらってたタクシーで船が停泊しているケアホウ湾へ。
日本人は私とカップルだけ。　不安だったけど、周りの人達を見ていると、どうにかなるもの。船で沖出て、海面に浮かべた梯子状になったロープにみんなでヌードルと呼ぶ浮きを、脇の下から、徐々に足首までおろしシュノーケルをつけ、ライトに寄ってくるマンタを待ちます。まるで、水族館の水槽な中のダイバーになった気分でした。顔や体すれすれに近寄ってくるマンタ、迫力満点です。あの感覚は感動的、スリリング、ぜひ一度は経験する価値は十分あります！

Had a great trip celebrated turning 60 that day would kayak again though the rowing is strenuous. Augustine was my life saver as he helped me back in the kayak when my husband & I tipped over, that was the scariest thing. The two most helpful words were "don't panic" as I was starting to do just that but those words calmed me down. Augustine even retrieved my sunglasses which went 2o' deep. After snorkeling I could not get back in the kayak just don't have the upper body strength though I lift weights 4x's a week.

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

I had a great time! とても楽しかったです！

Reviewed by: misako

It was my first time kayaking, but I had a wonderful half-day guided by Noni and Kevin. I enjoyed kayaking, snorkeling in the beautiful sea, and relaxing on the lava rocks, fully experiencing the great nature of the Big Island. They also took photos during the tour, and I received all the data shortly afterward. It's often the case that photos taken during trips are sold at high prices, but in this tour, I felt that they were genuinely guiding us to enjoy kayaking without any such concerns. The personalities of the two guides were truly wonderful. Since it was a water activity, I chose this tour with a Japanese guide for safety, and it was definitely the right choice.

I participated from Mauna Lani, so the meeting point was a bit far, but I still felt it was worth it. Don't forget your rash guard, hat, and sunscreen as the sun is strong!

シーカヤックは初めてでしたが、ノニさんケヴィンさんの案内で楽しい半日を過ごすことができました。とてもきれいな海でのカヤック、シュノーケル、そして溶岩のうえでの岩盤浴とハワイ島の大自然を満喫できました。ツアー中は写真も撮ってくださり、後日すぐに全てのデータもいただけました。旅行中に撮ってもらう写真は販売目的で高額なことになることが多いですが、このツアーではそのようなことがなく、純粋にカヤックを楽しむためのガイドをしてくれていると感じました。ガイドのお二人の人柄がとても素晴らしいです。海でのアクティビティなので、安全を考えて日本語ガイドであるこのツアーを選びましたが大正解でした。

マウナ・ラニからの参加でしたので、集合場所までは少し距離がありましたが、それをもってしても参加してよかったと思えます。
日差しが強いのでラッシュガード・帽子・日焼け止めなどお忘れなく！

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

It's a breathtaking view! 絶景です！

Reviewed by: はねみみ

During my trip to Hawaii, I had a strong desire to experience parasailing, so I signed up for this tour. I was a bit anxious since there was no Japanese guide, but the local tour company staff were accustomed to Japanese tourists, so it was fine.

On the day of the tour, the weather was great, and from 300 meters above, I was able to enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding area, the endless ocean, and the gentle mountains of Hawaii. I believe it was a valuable experience. There wasn't much wind at that altitude, so even though it was 300 meters up, it felt stable and I didn't feel much fear. If you're hesitating about whether to try it, I definitely encourage you to go for it. My companion, who usually doesn't enjoy thrill rides, also had a great time with parasailing. It will surely become a lifelong memory! Additionally, this tour allows you to request photo shoots while parasailing, so don't forget your money, smiles, and camera-ready poses.

ハワイ旅行中に、絶対パラセーリングを体験したい！という強い思いから、こちらのツアーに申し込みました。日本語ガイドがいらっしゃらないということでしたので、少し不安でしたが、現地の催行会社の方は日本人観光客に慣れていらっしゃるので、大丈夫でした。
当日はとても、天気がよく、３００メートル上空から、近隣地区一体、どこまでも続く海、ハワイの緩やかな山々…と絶景を楽しむことができ、貴重な体験ができたのではないかと思います。上空はそれほど風が吹いていませんでしたので、３００メートル上空と言っても安定しており、それほど恐怖は感じません。どうしようかな…と迷われている方がいらっしゃいましたら、ぜひトライしてみてくださいませ。私の同行者も絶叫系はダメな方ですが、パラセーリングは楽しんでいました。一生ものの思い出になること間違いなし！またこちらのツアーでは、現地でパラセーリング中の写真撮影を依頼することが可能ですので、お金と笑顔とカメラ目線をお忘れなく。

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＞

It's a show that allows you to experience Hawaii. ハワイを実感できるショーです

Reviewed by: 若く見えるが実はおじさん

This time, my spouse and I stayed on the Big Island for six days.

We only booked the "Deluxe Tour to World Heritage Site Kilauea and Mauna Kea Stargazing (Volcano and Stars in One Day!) by Kailani Tours Hawaii" through VELTRA, so we also signed up for this plan to fully enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere. It was definitely the right choice!

Although there were opinions in the reviews that everything was in English and it wouldn't be fun unless you were proficient in the language, I’m posting this to alleviate those concerns and help others enjoy it more.

1. First, the coupon reception
I attached a photo, but when you enter the Kamehameha Hotel and go to the right at the dedicated reception, you can present your coupon, and they will tell you the meeting place. (Staff were present at this reception from the morning.) This map was provided by the hotel. Since I’m not good at English, bringing it along to ask about the meeting place was a good decision. I might not have understood it just verbally... (It was in an area that seemed to explain Hawaii's history within the hotel.)

2. Meeting place and landmarks
I attached a photo for this as well, but there will be signs in the hotel, so that’s where you gather. The person at the dedicated reception told me to arrive by 5 PM, but be careful about that! It’s better to arrive about an hour early to secure a good spot in line. I arrived 50 minutes early and was at the front of the general line, but there was already one group in the priority line, and it became a queue after about 20 minutes. The seating is first-come, first-served, so it’s best to gather early!

3. Content
After lining up, I received a free lei (I didn’t purchase the paid ones) and took photos (they will come around selling them), and after checking in, we went to the venue to grab drinks and were shown to our seats. I was the first to arrive and sat in the front row center of the general seating, but the Japanese people who arrived normally and lined up were also seated together in fairly decent spots in a separate group. (It seems they make arrangements so that you can converse with others in Japanese.)

At the venue, a band was already performing, and there were free services like tattooing and weaving fish with grass. Of course, drinks, including alcohol, were free-flowing.

Dinner started around 6:15 PM, and it gets dark before 7 PM, so it’s best to wrap up your meal and drinks by then.

Having researched the structure of this event through reviews, I was able to enjoy it a lot even though I’m not good at English. It was fun. (I think it would be enjoyable even for families with children!)

今回はハワイ島に夫婦で６日間の滞在でした。

参加して大正解でした！

口コミではすべて英語なので語学が堪能でないと面白くないとの意見も出ていましたが、そんな不安を解消するためと、より楽しんでもらうために投稿をします。

１．まずはクーポンの受付
　写真を張りましたが、カメハメハホテルを入って右手の専用受付にクーポンを出すと、
　集合場所を教えてくれます。（この受付は朝からスタッフが張り付いていました。）
　この見取り図はホテルでもらった見取り図です。英語が苦手なため持参して集合場所を聞い
　たのは正解でした。口頭だけだとわからなかったかも、、、
　（ホテル内にあるハワイの歴史説明エリアみたいなところでした。）

２．集合場所や目印
　これも写真を張りましたが、ホテル内に看板が出されるのでそこに集合です。
　専用受付の人は１７時に行けばいいと教えてくれますが、そこは注意！
　約一時間前に行って列の先頭をとれるかとれないかの感じです。私は50分前に行って
　一般列の先頭でしたが、既に優先席列には一組並んでいましたし、２０分ぐらいしたら行列
　になっています。観覧席は早いもの順なので早めの集合が良いですよ！

３．内容
　行列に並んだあと、無料レイ（有料例は購入しませんでした）を受けもらって撮影後
　（会場で売りに来ます）、本受付をしたのちに会場までいって飲み物を取って席に案内を
　してもらいます。
　私は一番乗りで一般席最前列中央でしたが、普通に来て並んでいた日本人たちは、別グルー
　プでもそんなに悪くない席にある程度まとめて座らせてもらっていました。（日本語で他人
　と会話ができるようにしてくれる配慮みたいです）
　
　会場ではすでにバンドが演奏、タトゥーや草で魚編む体験など無料のサービスがあります。
　もちろん飲み物もアルコールを含めてフリードリンクです。

　1815ぐらいから食事開始で、19時前には手元も暗くなりますから、それまでに食事や飲み
　物はひと段落しておいたほうがいいですね。

ある程度、このイベントの構成等を口コミ等で調べていたので、英語が苦手でもすごく楽しめました。
楽しかったです。（お子様がいても楽しめると思いますよ！）

We headed to the meeting place from the hotel by rental car. Since the Big Island of Hawaii has straightforward roads, I don't think driving is difficult, but there are very few signs, so it's best to check the location thoroughly before participating. Alternatively, I recommend asking for details at the hotel's Japanese desk!

For the activity, we traveled to the snorkeling point on a tube boat, as shown in the pictures. Just the ride on the tube boat was thrilling and enjoyable!

At the snorkeling point, we saw many fish and a sea urchin that was larger than anything I've ever seen! Also, while diving, I could hear the sound of fish pecking at the coral!

Regarding the cave exploration, I think you'll have a general understanding since you'll receive guidance in Japanese beforehand.

For meals, we had handmade sandwiches, cookies, potato chips, juice, water, and fresh pineapple and oranges cut by the captain on the spot.

I think bringing a towel, a camera, and sunscreen would be sufficient.

As mentioned in the precautions, there are no restrooms on the tube boat. Please be aware that you won't be able to go to the restroom for the four hours during the activity!

It’s about a one-hour boat trip to Kealakekua Bay. For breakfast, we had bagels, papaya, melon, and coffee. Once we arrived at Kealakekua Bay, we started our first snorkeling session. For lunch, we enjoyed burgers, hot dogs, fruits, and drinks like cola and coffee, followed by our second snorkeling session. The joy of chasing fish in the clear, calm bay is exceptional. There were about 40 participants, but only three groups of Japanese, including us, totaling seven people, while most were Westerners. We borrowed floatation devices to swim, and even if you’re confident in your swimming, having a floatation device makes it easier. I thought I had applied enough sunscreen, but my shoulders got sunburned. Sunscreen is definitely necessary. It was a tour I would like to join again.

ケアラケクア湾まで約１時間の船旅です。朝食はベーグルとパパイア、メロンとコーヒー。
ケアラケクア湾へ着くと１回目のシュノーケル開始、昼食はバーガー、ホットドッグ、果物にコーラやコーヒーなどを食べ、２回目のシュノーケルを行いました。澄み切った穏やかな湾で魚たちを追う楽しさは格別です。４０名程の参加者がいましたが、日本人は私たちを含め３組、７名だけで大半が欧米人でした。腰に巻く浮具を借り泳ぎましたが、泳ぎに自信があっても浮具はあった方が楽です。日焼け止めを十分に塗ったつもりでしたが、肩口は赤くなりました。日焼け止めは絶対に必要です。

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

Kayaking is the best!! カヤック最高！！

Reviewed by: arita

Thank you, Kevin and Noni, for your support.
The OP tour in Hawaii left the biggest impression on me.
I have experienced various tours before, but none of them were particularly moving. However, this time, the kayaking, snorkeling, and paddleboarding were absolutely perfect.
First of all, the beauty of the ocean was remarkable, and it was a significant difference compared to Oahu, which was truly moving.
Additionally, the program was just right for me and my wife to experience together, and above all, we were very satisfied with the attentive service from the two instructors.
It seems that Kevin and Noni have other plans as well, so I would love to rely on you again next time.
Thank you very much.

ケビンさん　ノニさん　お世話になりました。
ハワイのOPツアーで一番印象に残りました。
ツアーは今まで、色々体験しましたが、どれも　今一　感動が薄かったのですが
今回の　カヤックとシュノーケルとパドルボードは、見事にはまりました。
第一に海が綺麗な事、オアフ島とは格段の差があり、感動でした。
また、私の奥さんと体験するには、丁度良いプログラムであった事と
何より　インストラクターの二人に丁寧に接して戴いた事で
ツアー料金以上に、満足しました。
まだ、ケビンさんノニさんは、別のプランもお持ちの様ですので
次回もお世話になりたいものです。
宜しくお願いします。

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　 レジェンズ・オブ・ハワイ（ヒルトンワイコロアビレッジ）＜日・火・金催行／ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題＞

Incredible power! In the front row! 大迫力！一番前の席にて！

Reviewed by: のりち

I was able to sit in the front row when I arrived on time.
The show featured wonderful hula dancing, powerful male fire performances, and a packed schedule that made the time fly by.
The food was served buffet-style, which allowed me to adjust the amount I ate, and I thought that was great. The taste was fairly good.

集合時間通りに行ったら、一番前の席に座ることができました。
ショーの内容は素敵なフラダンス、
迫力満点の男性の火を使ったダンスと盛りだくさんの内容であっという間の時間でした。
お料理はブュッフェで、自分が食べる量を調節できたのでよかったと思います。味はそれなりに美味しかったです。

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

I had a great time. とても楽しかったです。

Reviewed by: BlueHawaii

Since it's a buoy and not a life jacket, those who are anxious might want to avoid it. Also, while it's a quiet bay, depending on the time, you can be pulled towards the rocks by the waves, so please be sure not to get too close to the rocks.

ライフジャケットではなく、浮棒なので不安な方はやめた方がよいかも。
あと、静かな湾ですが時間によって岩場から波に引き寄せられますので岩場には絶対にチ被かないでください。

6名限定！ハワイ島　野生のイルカウォッチング+ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー＜午前／英語ガイド／軽食付＞

I felt a respect for the dolphins in Hawaii. ハワイのイルカへのリスペクトが感じられた

Reviewed by: マヒマヒ

It was my first time snorkeling, but I was able to meet a pod of spinner dolphins and swim with them. There was an explanation on the boat about the dolphins' behavior, such as how they are nocturnal and return to the bay to sleep during the day after feeding offshore, which is why it's necessary to depart early in the morning. It was also noted that depending on the dolphins' personalities and moods, some may approach while others may not.

I enjoyed snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, but since it is a spot where dolphins come to rest and the time was late (which is midnight for the dolphins), it was clear that we should ideally keep our distance and observe from afar, unlike at the dolphin swim points. I would definitely like to participate again next time, and I hope that this wonderful environment is preserved so that the dolphins will come back.

シュノーケリングは初めてでしたが、スピナーズドルフィンの群れと会え、一緒に泳げました。
イルカは夜行性で、沖で餌を食べたあと昼に眠るために湾まで戻ってくること、そのため朝早くから出港する必要があること、イルカの個性や気分次第で近づいてくるものやそうでないものがいるなど、イルカの生態やドルフィンスイムの注意点について船内で説明がありました。
ケアラケクア湾ではシュノーケリングを楽しみましたが、イルカが休みに来るスポットであることや時間帯も遅い（イルカにとっては深夜）なことから、ドルフィンスイムのポイントと違ってできれば近づかないで遠くから見てあげてとイルカのことを考えていることがよくわかりました。
次回もぜひ参加したいので、その時もイルカが来るようにこの素晴らしい環境を守ってほしいです。

Kohala Waterfalls Hike & Swim Eco Tour + Off-Road Adventure with Picnic Lunch

Recommend it highly

Reviewed by: Larry Starnes

Chris, our guide was very knowledgeable, organized and encouraging. The hike was through a forest and green area with lots of water and waterfalls. We learned a lot about the plants, trees and animals, both native and those introduced from other places.
The swim at the end of the hike was very cold, but fun and refreshing. If you are young and healthty this will be a fun and easy hike, however, if you are long in the teeth,it will be moderate, lots of rocks and steps. If you have knee, back or hip problems don't take this hike. Otherwise, you will love it. Definitely worth the money. Ask for Chris to be your guide.

Luau ルアウ

Reviewed by: ハワイ島ファン

I have seen the Hilton Luau three times so far. This time, the Hawaiian show felt fresh with younger performers. I had a great time participating from the front row.

今までに３回ヒルトンのルアウを見ました。今回のハワイアンショウーは構成メンバーも若く新鮮に感じました。一番前の席で大変楽しく参加させていただきました。
