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

Fantastic!

Reviewed by: Camry

If you're visiting the Kona side of the Big Island, this dinner cruise is a MUST! It has it all: beautiful coastal views as you sail down to the Captain Cook monument, knowledgable guide who provides interesting historical information about the island (my husband and I love to learn new things), friendly/service-oriented staff, great dinner buffet, and a free premium drink! It was so relaxing and not too short of a cruise (but also not too long). We had a great time! Definitely would do it again.

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＞

Dolphin swim ドルフィンスイム

Reviewed by: いるか

I thought I was fine since I had already seen dolphins in Honolulu, but when my schedule opened up, I quickly changed my plans to join. Since it was a small group, the price was a bit higher, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. I never thought I would be able to do a dolphin swim, but surprisingly, I was able to! I wore longer fins, and a female staff member guided me underwater, allowing me to catch up with the pod of dolphins several times. It was truly moving. I don't think I'll have an experience like this again. I felt that the small group size contributed to it. The dolphins in Honolulu were just passing by, so swimming with them was quite far from reality. Also, the wetsuits need to be reserved in advance, so the water can get quite cold, so don't forget if you need one. The sun is strong, but it can get pretty chilly while moving around. There was no mention of tips, but since it's Hawaii, I was encouraged to pay the captain, so I did. I happened to have cash on hand, which was good, but I think it would help everyone if it was mentioned in advance. It was a very valuable experience. Thank you very much.

イルカはホノルルで見たからもういいかなと思っていたのですが、日程が開いたので急遽予定変更で参加しました。少人数なのでお値段は少し高めでしたが、十分に楽しめました。ドルフィンスイムなんてあり得ないと思っていましたが、なんとなんと出来ましたよ。長めのフィンを装着し、女性のスタッフが水中で手引きして下さり、イルカの群れにグングンと追いつく事が数回出来ました。感動感動でした。こんな経験はもうないだろうなと思います。少人数だからこそかなとも感じました。ホノルルのイルカは移動中だったので一緒に泳ぐとは程遠いかったです。またウエットは事前予約なので海中は結構冷えますから必要な方はお忘れなく。日差し強いですが移動中は結構冷えます。またチップの記載が無かったのですがハワイですからキャプテンに払う様に促されたので、支払いました。たまたま持ち合せていたので良かったですが、必要であれば記載していてくれると皆さん助かると思います。とても貴重な経験でした。ありがとうございました。

Deluxe Captain Cook Snorkeling Tour at Kealakekua Bay - Fair Wind Cruises

Load up the cattle, Pa! We're goin' a snorklin'!

Reviewed by: eyeballs

The Good:
The snorkeling was amazing, right by the capt. cook monument, lots of fish and coral to be seen. The staff was VERY friendly and accommodating to the needs of the clients (snorkeling alternatives for the scared/claustrophobic, flotation devices, vast selection of equipment). The food was better than expected (continental breakfast followed by a hot dog or a well done BBQ cheeseburger, very thin but acceptable.) Booze was reasonably priced.

The Bad:
The boat was at MAXIMUM capacity. SNUBA is an extra $70 (surprise!) There is a dude videotaping the whole thing and semi-forcably interviewing EVERYONE (even the very socially uncomfortable, myself) who seemed very used-car-salesmanly. He sold his DVD for $70, even though it seemed like mostly stock footage.

The Verdict:
Would not do again. Should be 50% cheaper or 50% less crowded. If you really just want to see some fish buy yourself a snorkel and mask and get yourself to the capt. cook monument via hike or kayak

Second visit to Kealakekua Bay. ２回目のケアラケクア湾

Reviewed by: MARIKO

Last year, three adults participated in the morning tour. It was so good that we decided to join again. This year, since my grandchild is with us, we participated in the afternoon tour with a shorter snorkeling time. It seems the weather is better in the morning, but we still had a great time even with a little cloud cover. My grandchild enjoyed looking underwater with the mat that has a glass viewing window and was able to see many fish! Kealakekua Bay is truly beautiful! Next time, I want to join the morning tour again where we can enjoy snorkeling twice.

去年は大人3人で午前のツアーに参加。とても良かったので再度の参加を決めました。今年は孫が一緒なのでスノーケル時間の短い午後のツアーに参加しました。午前中の方がお天気はいいようですが、少し曇でも十分楽しめました。孫もガラスの覗き窓のついたマットでずっと海中を覗いて魚がたくさん見れたようで楽しんでくれました♪ケアラケクア湾は本当に綺麗です♪次回はスノーケルが2回楽しめる午前のツアーにまた参加したいです。

Beautiful sea and delicious hamburgers. 美しい海とおいしいハンバーガー

Reviewed by: benimama

We participated as a mature couple. Despite putting in the effort to scout the day before, we made the mistake of forgetting to reconfirm, which made us a bit anxious on the day of the event. However, we passed through the check-in without any issues.

The boat was surprisingly large and didn't sway too much, but there were some people who got seasick, so motion sickness medication might be essential. Most of the passengers were Westerners. There were a couple and a family from South Korea, but we were the only Japanese. All the explanations were in English, which went right over my head. However, it was fine as long as I carefully read the Japanese instructions handed out at check-in.

Kealakekua Bay has exceptional clarity. We enjoyed a luxurious time playing with beautiful fish. Previously, I had dived at various resorts as a resort diver, but I was moved by the beautiful underwater scenery after a long time. The weather was good, and the light shone through, making the corals and colorful fish sparkle. This was the first time I felt so satisfied with snorkeling.

The hamburger for lunch was very delicious, and I couldn't help but ask for a second serving. If I come back to the Big Island, I would love to see that beautiful sea again.

熟年夫婦で参加しました。前日に下見をするほど念を入れたのに、うっかりリコンファームを忘れるという失態。当日、ヒヤヒヤしたものの問題なく受付通過。

船は意外に大きく揺れもそれほどではなかったですが、船酔いした人がいたので酔い止めは必携かもしれません。乗客は欧米人がほとんど。韓国人のカップルとファミリーはいたものの日本人は私たちだけ。説明は全て英語で、私の耳を素通りしていきました。重要事項は受付で渡された日本語の説明書を熟読すれば大丈夫です。

ケアラケクア湾は透明度抜群。キレイな魚たちと遊ぶ贅沢な時間を堪能しました。以前、リゾートダイバーで色々なリゾートで潜りましたが、久しぶりに美しい海中の光景に感動。天候が良かったこともあり、光が差し込みキラキラ輝くサンゴと色とりどりの魚たち。シュノーケルでここまで満足したのは初めてです。

昼食のハンバーガーはとっても美味で、思わずおかわりしてしまいました。またハワイ島に来ることがあれば、もう一度あの美しい海を見たいと思います。

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 had a great experience. 良い経験ができました。

Reviewed by: yumio

I participated alone in August. I was told to confirm by phone at 4 PM on the day of the event, so I called, but it seemed that it wasn't particularly necessary, which surprised me. It seems that it's not needed unless the weather is particularly dangerous.

After going to the office and completing the check-in, they lend you a wetsuit in the next room without saying anything. After that, you go to the place where the boat departs on your own. The directions are simple, but I ended up getting lost unexpectedly. In fact, there were people who got lost and couldn't make it in time, so I think those who lack confidence should allow themselves plenty of time to get there.

The entire process is in English, but there aren't any detailed instructions, so if you have the guts, you'll be fine. It's a valuable experience. By the way, there were participants who couldn't swim and children as well.

After getting in the water, your body gets quite cold, so a towel and something to wear over yourself are essential. Even in August, my teeth were chattering.

８月に１人で参加しました。
当日の４時に電話で確認をとのことだったので、電話してみましたが、特に必要じゃないようで、かえってビックリされました。特に天候が危ない感じとかじゃなければ必要なさそうです。
事務所に行って、受付を済ますと、何も言わなくても隣の部屋でウエットスーツを貸してくれます。その後、自分で船が出る場所まで行きます。道順は簡単なのですが、あっけなく迷いました。実際、道に迷って間に合わず参加できなかった人たちもいたので、自信が無い人は余裕をもって行ったほうがいいと思います。
全行程英語ですが、特に細かい指示もないので、度胸があれば大丈夫です。価値のある経験ができます。
ちなみに、泳げない人や子供の参加していました。
水につかった後はかなり体が冷えるのでタオルと羽織るものは欠かせません。８月でも歯がカタカタいいました。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾　シュノーリングツアー ＜軽食付き／英語ガイド＞

It's just like a roller coaster. まさにジェットコースター

Reviewed by: dtt_fcn

I participated in the afternoon session, but I made a mistake with the meeting time and arrived a bit late, though they waited for me. The staff was kind.

The rafting exceeded my expectations in terms of speed, just as the reviews said. We bounced off the waves and then dropped suddenly, and my backside was getting hit repeatedly. Of course, I couldn't let go of the handrails.

After quite a distance, we were taken to the snorkeling spot, where we stayed for an hour. They also lent us noodle-shaped floaties. Without those, I, being in my forties, would have reached my physical limit. There were sea urchins scattered on the rocks, and I saw a lot of fish. It was quite deep just a little away from the shore, which was a bit scary. After returning home, I learned about the shark incident, so thinking back, I'm just glad I was safe.

Since the sun wasn't shining too much, my 8-year-old son got cold after about 15 minutes and got back on the boat, so I followed shortly after. That was a mistake... I tend to get seasick, and I completely got seasick on the boat that was anchored and swaying with the waves. They provided snacks, drinks, and cut fruits, and my son was munching away. I was struggling during the waiting time and felt like I was going to pass out (laughs).

On the way back, I was just thinking about how I couldn't wait to get back, but it seemed that the four boys, including my 8-year-old, were very satisfied.

As you can see, opinions within the family were quite divided, so it might be tough for those who are not fond of roller coasters, but I recommend it for those who love speed and find the beach a bit lacking.

午後の部参加でしたが、集合時間を間違え、少し遅れましたが待っててくれました。スタッフは親切です。

ラフティング、口コミ通り予想を超えるスピードでした。波に当たっては跳ね上がりそして急落下、お尻もドンドン打ち付けられます。もちろん手は絶対手すりを離せません。

まだかまだかと結構な距離を走り、シュノーケリングスポットに連れて来られて、そこで1時間滞在。
ヌードルという棒状の浮き輪も貸してくれます。これがないとアラフォーの私は体力的に限界。岩場にはウニもゴロゴロ、お魚もたくさん見れました。岸から少し離れただけでかなり深いので、少し怖かったな。
帰国後、サメの事件を知ったので、今考えると無事で何よりです。

太陽があまり照ってなかったので8歳の息子が15分程で寒がり、ボートに上がったので私も間も無く上がりました。
それがいけなかった。。
元々船酔いする私は、その停泊して波に揺られるボートに完全に酔ってしまいました。
スナック菓子や飲物、カットフルーツを出してくれて、息子はムシャムシャ食べてました。私はそれからの待ち時間が辛過ぎて、気を失いそうでした（笑）

帰りのボートも早く着かないかとばかり考えてましたが、私以外の8歳児含む男4人は大満足だったようです。

このように家族内でも評価が真っ二つなので、ジェットコースターが苦手な方には辛いかもしれませんが、スピード好きな方、ビーチでは物足りない方にはオススメです。

The staff is great! Refreshing and blue sea! I want to go again! スタッフもGoo！爽快・蒼海！また行きたい！

Reviewed by: S＆J from 湘南

Rafting that feels like a roller coaster is absolutely exhilarating! It runs so fast, you wonder how far it will go.

We had plenty of snorkeling at two spots, Honauanu Bay and Kealakekua Bay. The warm water was comfortable, and the sea was deep yet endlessly clear and blue. When we went to a slightly shallower rocky area, we were surrounded by a huge school of fish—so satisfying!

Along the way, we heard stories about Captain Cook and learned that two-thirds of the Big Island is hidden underwater, making it the largest mountain in the world, and how tsunamis have shaped the land. There were also discussions about the climate and Kona coffee, with various guides sharing information.

On the way back, we sped along at full throttle! Just when I thought we were going to crash into a rock, we made a sharp turn—phew! Then, just as I thought we were going to hit something again, we suddenly slowed down and quietly entered a cave, where the sea was a mystical emerald green. The guide explained why the minerals make the water look blue, the geological layers, and how big waves lifted large rocks and placed them on the shore. He provided a lot of detailed explanations, but it was hard to follow because he spoke so quickly in English. Still, it was fun!

The staff was very kind. Even though I couldn't understand everything he said in fast English, he kept calling me by my first name, which made me feel comfortable. They also allowed us to store our bags, so I felt secure. I definitely want to go again!

ジェットコースターみたいなラフティングは爽快そのもの！どこまで行くのってくらい走る。
ホナウナウ湾とケアラケクア湾の２カ所でたっぷりシュノーケリング。温暖な水温で快適、深いけどどこまでも透明で蒼い海、少し浅めの岩場に行けば大群に囲まれ大～満足！
途中でキャプテンクックの話やハワイ島は海の下に２／３も隠れてて世界で一番大きな山だとか津波が来て削ったとか気候やらコナコーヒーの話を交えいろんなガイドをしてくれたよ。
帰りもめちゃくちゃ飛ばすね～全速力だぁ！あ～岩にぶつかる～～っと思ったら急旋回、ふぅう～ホっ。またまたぶつかる～～と思ったら急減速し静かに洞窟の中へ、そこは神秘的なエメラルドグリーンの海。鉱物の種類がなんでだから青く見えるんだとか地層とか、大波が来て大きな岩を持ち上げて岩場に置いたのがあれだとか、いろいろ詳しい解説してくれたけど早口の英語でチンプンカンプン、でも楽しいのが良いよね～～。
スタッフはとっても親切。早口の英語で何言ってんだかわかんなかったけど下の名前でずーっと呼んでくれて快適だった。荷物もカバン1個くらいなら必要以外は仕舞ってもらえるんで安心でした。またぜひ行きたいです！

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＞

The snorkeling was very satisfying, but the lava cave was different from what I imagined. シュノーケルは大満足、でも溶岩洞窟はイメージ違いました

Reviewed by: こまこ

We traveled at high speed while sitting on the edge of the boat. This meant we faced away from the water and had to turn sideways to look in the direction we were going. To see the surface of the water or what lay ahead, we had to turn our necks. Fortunately, it wasn't crowded, so I was able to sit at an angle and change my posture as needed. A white woman sitting in front of me lost her hat when the boat sped up. The captain caught it on the spot, so there was no issue, but it might be better to wear a swimming cap from the start.

The destination, Kealakekua Bay, is home to many colorful fish and a diverse underwater landscape that keeps things interesting. However, guests on the tour from the sea are not allowed to disembark on the land where the Captain Cook statue is located. We couldn't spend too long underwater, and since I was getting hungry, when we returned to the boat, the captain cut up some fresh pineapple for us. The freshly cut fruit on the boat was delicious. The lunch sandwiches were just average in taste.

On the way back, we toured points of the lava formations, but the term "Lava Cave Adventure" in the tour name is a bit exaggerated. We didn't pass through any long cave-like structures. While listening to the English explanations, we observed the unique topography of the volcanic island. I thought it would be difficult to understand everything without a certain level of language skills. This tour offers not only the highlight of snorkeling but also the chance to spot dolphins and whales from the boat, along with the thrill of high-speed travel, making it a very rich experience. However, since you'll be outside all day under the blazing sun, it's essential to take adequate sun protection measures. By the way, I forgot to apply sunscreen on my thighs, and while moving around on the boat, direct sunlight hit that area the whole time, causing my skin to turn bright red.

ボートの周囲のへりの部分に腰かけた状態で、高速で航行します。ですので、水面に背を向けて、進行方向に対して横の方を向いて座ります。途中、水面を見たり、進路の先を見るには首を回さなければなりません。幸い、満員ではなかったので、適当に斜めに座ったり、適宜姿勢を変えたりして、移動しました。目の前の白人女性の参加者は船がスピードを上げた際に帽子を飛ばされていました。その場で船長がキャッチしたので事なきをえましたが、帽子は、スイミングキャップを最初から被っていた方が良いかもしれません。目的地のケアラケクア湾は水中にカラフルな魚がたくさんいますし、海底の光景も変化に富んでいて飽きません。ただし、海上からのツアーで訪れた客は、キャプテンクック像のある陸地には上がっていけないことになっています。それほど長い時間、水中だけで過ごす訳にもいかず、お腹もすいたので、ボートに戻ると、船長がその場でパイナップルを切り分けて出してくれます。船の上で食べる切り立てのフルーツがおいしかったです。ランチのサンドイッチは、まあ普通の味です。帰りは溶岩地形のポイントを巡りながら出発地点に戻るのですが、ツアー名にあるような「溶岩洞窟アドベンチャー」という言い方は少々大げさです。細長い洞窟みたいな中を通って抜けるようなこともありません。英語の説明を聞きながら、火山島ならではの独特な地形の観察をしていきます。ある程度の語学力がないと、全部を理解するのは難しいと思いました。このツアーは、目玉のシュノーケルだけでなく、船上からイルカやクジラを眺めるチャンスもあり、高速航行でのスリルあり、大変盛りだくさんの中味の濃いツアーだと思います。ただし、一日中、炎天下にいますので、日焼け対策は十分にしていく必要があります。ちなみに、私の場合、膝上部分に日焼け止めを塗るのを忘れていたところ、船上での移動中、ずっとそこに直射日光が当たっていて、皮膚が真っ赤になりました。

I was very satisfied, but I got tired from sitting in the same position for a long time. 大変満足、でも同じ姿勢で座り続けるのが疲れました

Reviewed by: みーや

I was able to fully enjoy the charm of the sea and nature on the Big Island. I chose this tour with the goal of snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, and the round trip to the bay was not just a simple transfer; there were many enjoyable experiences along the way. On the way there, we spotted a pod of dolphins right after leaving the marina, and then we accelerated and headed south. Just when I thought we were going quite far offshore, we were guided to a group of whales. It was my first experience seeing whales up close. The boat was at a height where I could almost touch the water with my fingertips, so even though we were on the boat, the dolphins and whales were quite close. After that, we arrived at Kealakekua Bay. Other tour boats had already arrived, and there were quite a few people there. Those imagining a private swimming experience in a less crowded sea might be disappointed, but I appreciated having people around, as it allowed me to swim comfortably even in deeper areas without feeling nervous. Looking underwater, I could see the seafloor sloping from shallow to deep like a cliff, which was clear and very beautiful. However, it was quite cold even though it was August. Staying in the water for a long time might be a bit tough. When we returned to the boat, we were served lunch, which included drinks, cookies, potato chips, sandwiches, and freshly cut pineapple. The portions weren't very large, so those with big appetites might want to bring their own food. There was a little time to swim after lunch, but some people chose to rest on the boat instead. On the way back, unlike the trip there, we headed north while closely observing the coastline. Along the way, we observed the rugged terrain typical of the Big Island from the sea, and enjoyed views of Kahalu'u Beach Park and the city of Kona as we made our way to the harbor. After experiencing some sudden accelerations and turns, we said our final goodbyes to the pod of dolphins and landed back at the marina. Since all the explanations were in English, it was difficult to understand everything. However, I found that asking questions in my limited English and engaging in some communication helped the crew take care of us better. I think it's better to be proactive in conversation rather than staying silent. I was very satisfied when we disembarked, but since I had been holding the same position for a long time, I felt tired afterward. I realized that it’s also necessary to intentionally change positions and stretch on the boat.

ハワイ島の海と自然の魅力を満喫できました。ケアラケクア湾でシュノーケルするのが目的でこのツアーを選んだのですが、湾までの往復も単なる移動ではなく色々なことが楽しめました。行きはマリーナを出てすぐのところでイルカの群れを見学し、その後は加速して進路を南へ。ずいぶん沖合を南下していると思ったら、クジラの群れの所まで案内してくれました。至近距離でクジラを見るのは初めての体験です。手を伸ばせば水面に指先が入るくらいの高さのボートなので、船上からとはいえ、イルカやクジラがかなり近いです。そしてその後にケアラケクア湾に到着。他のツアーの船も既に到着していて、先客がそれなりにいます。人の少ない海で貸切状態で泳ぐのを想像している人はがっかりするかもしれませんが、私は周囲に人がいてくれるので、深いところでも安心して泳ぐことができ、緊張せずに楽しめ良かったです。水中を眺めていると、浅いところから深いところに向けて海底が崖のようになっているのが、遠くまでクリアに見え、とても幻想的で美しかったです。ただ８月なのに、かなり寒くなって
きます。長時間ずっと水中にいるのは少々つらいかもしれません。船上に戻ると、飲み物、クッキー、ポテトチップ、サンドイッチ、その場でカットしたパイナップルというランチが出ました。量はそれほど多くありませんので、大食いの人は持参の食料が必要かもしれないと思いました。食後も少し泳ぐ時間がありますが、泳がず船上で休んでいる人もいました。そして帰路は、行きと異なり、海岸線を間近に見ながら出発地点へと北上します。途中、溶岩地帯ではハワイ島らしいゴツゴツとした地形を海上から観察したり、カハルウビーチパークやコナの市街地を眺めつつ、港を目指します。途中、急加速したり、旋回したり曲芸航行のような体験をした後、イルカの群れに最後のお別れをして、マリーナに上陸です。説明が全部英語だったので、内容をすべて理解するのは難しかったです。ただつたない英語でもこちらから質問をしたり、ある程度のコミュニケーションを取った方が、クルーも色々と面倒を見てくれます。黙っているより積極的に対話を心がけるのが良いと思いました。とても満足して港に降り立ちましたが、ずっと同じ姿勢で踏ん張っていたので、あとから疲れが出てきました。船上で、意図的に姿勢を変えたり、体をほぐしたりすることも必要だなと思いました。

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＞

I want to participate in the luau and dinner many times. 何度も参加したいルアウ＆ディナー

Reviewed by: irukaLOVE

Whenever I stay in Hawaii, I make it a point to participate in a luau and dinner on the last night of my stay. This time, the luau at the King Kamehameha Hotel had the best location and food! When I stay on the Big Island again, I would love to participate once more.

ハワイに滞在するときは毎回滞在最後の晩にはルアウ＆ディナーに参加するようにしています。今回キングカメハメハホテルのルアウはロケーションも料理も最高のものでした！
ハワイ島に滞在するときは、また参加したいと思います。

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

A refreshing and enjoyable walk by the sea. 爽快で楽しい海の散歩

Reviewed by: hirohiro

I chose this tour because it was just a short walk from the Sheraton where we were staying. It was our first time sea kayaking with our two children, a middle schooler and an elementary schooler, but we were taught patiently, and the operation was simple, allowing us to have fun.

Paddling along the coastline of the endlessly blue sea was undeniably refreshing! The kids were also thrilled with snorkeling. I lacked the courage to jump from the big rock and gave up, but everyone else was jumping in one after another.

At one point, my wife unexpectedly got seasick, so we ate the pineapple snacks we had brought back, but it might have been even more special out on the water.

In any case, we were able to enjoy ourselves with clear instructions given in Japanese, which made us feel at ease. Thank you very much!

宿泊するシェラトンから歩いて直ぐの場所から出発とのことで、このツアーにしました。
中学生と小学生の子供2人を連れての初めてのシーカヤックでしたが、丁寧に教えてもらい、操作も簡単で楽しむことができました。
どこまでも青い海を湾岸沿いに進むのは文句なしに気持ちイイ！子供達もシュノーケリングをして大はしゃぎでした。大岩からの飛び込みは全く勇気がなく断念しましたが、皆どんどん飛び込んでいました。
途中で妻がまさかのカヤック酔いとなったので、おやつのパイナップルは戻って食べましたが、海のうえだとまた格別だったかも。
とにかく日本語で明確に指示してもらい安心して楽しめました。有難うございました！

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

Waterfalls

Reviewed by: Partyof10

Couldn't get all 10 spots so my wife and I stayed back for R&R, but those who went had a great time...loved it. Easy hiking, but not flip-floppable. Would do again.

Deluxe Captain Cook Snorkeling Tour at Kealakekua Bay - Fair Wind Cruises

Great Snorkel Cruise

Reviewed by: HawaiiLove

Family trip with 3 teenage boys. Everyone loved it. Water slides were a fun addition. Good breakfast and lunch including vegetarian options. Snuba on trip was not as fulfilling. Overpriced ($69 additional to cruise charge) and too short(30mins). For the price, they should have included that free with the cruise as others do. Otherwise, great trip. Thanks~

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾　シュノーリングツアー ＜軽食付き／英語ガイド＞

Mysterious!! 神秘的！！

Reviewed by: ロコボーイ

Traveling by speedboat was refreshing. The snorkeling was amazing, with the water being very clear and transparent. I was so engrossed in watching the fish that I lost track of time. I was thrilled to encounter dolphins. It was adorable to see a mother and baby dolphin surfacing for air at the same time.
Seeing the vastness of the Big Island of Hawaii from the sea made me feel like I was in a foreign land.

高速ボートでの移動は気持ちがよかったです。シュノーケルは水がとても綺麗で透き通っていました。時間を忘れるほど夢中に魚たちを見ていました。イルカにも遭遇して感動しました。親子のイルカが同時に息継ぎをする姿が可愛かったです。
広大なハワイ島を海から見て、外国を感じることができました。
