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 was able to get close to the dolphins! イルカに近づけた！

Reviewed by: AKKIE.O

This was my second dolphin swim on the Big Island, and this time I challenged myself with an English guide. I arrived just in time and was told, "Park the car quickly! Quickly!" I didn't even know where to park, and the first place I stopped was for boat towing, so I ended up parking on the street. There was also a Japanese couple who seemed to be getting scolded in the same way.

Last time, I brought my own gear, but this time I rented a mask and fins. I think I misunderstood some of the instructions; I heard that we shouldn't chase or touch the dolphins, just hold onto the float and watch, and not to splash with the fins. However, once I got into the water, I was scolded with "quickly!" and I desperately tried to swim towards the dolphins, but in the end, I was told, "You are like a turtle," and I was exhausted. However, in the end, I was able to swim with many dolphins, and on the way back, they provided fruit and showed us places that we couldn't see by car.

There were many people snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay, but the water was very clear, and there were plenty of fish, which was satisfying. Last time, there was a Japanese guide, but there were many people, and it was quite chaotic. This time, there were only two of us, so I was able to fully enjoy the dolphin swim.

From this experience, I learned:
- If there is no transportation provided, I should confirm the availability of parking.
- Even with experience, I shouldn't respond with just a vague understanding when guided in English.
- Snorkelers should bring their own gear.

These may seem like obvious points, but since it was my second time participating, I had underestimated some aspects. Please be careful when you participate.

２回目のハワイ島でのドルフィンスイム、今回は英語ガイドに挑戦。到着がギリギリになってしまい、「早く車停めてきて、quickly！quickly！」どこに停めるかもわからず、一度停めたところはボートの牽引用で、路駐する形で停めました。同じように怒られてる日本人のカップルもいました。
前回は自分の道具を持って行ったのですが、今回はマスク、フィンはレンタルをしました。私が何となくの理解で返事をしていたのが悪かったのですが、イルカを見つけても、追ってはいけない、触ってはいけない、浮き具につかまって見るだけ、フィンをばたばたさせない、など説明は聞き取れていたように思ったのですが、いざ海に入ってみると、「quickly！」と責め立てられ、一生懸命イルカのほうに向かっていったのですが、挙句の果てには「あなたはカメね」といわれ、ヘロヘロになってしまいました。ですが、最後にはたくさんのイルカと泳ぐことができ、帰りのボートではフルーツのサービスや、ラバチューブなど車では見れないようなところも案内してくれました。ケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングはたくさんの人がいましたが、透明度の高い海で魚もたくさんおり、満足のいくものでした。前回は日本語ガイドでしたが人数も多く、かなりワチャワチャしてましたが、今回は二人だけだったので、ドルフィンスイムも満喫できました。
今回の学びとしては、
・送迎なしの場合、駐車場の有無は確認すべき。
・経験があっても、英語ガイドで何となくの理解で返事をしてはいけない。
・シュノ―ケラーは自分の道具をもっていくべし。
当たり前のことではありますが、2回目の参加ということで、甘く考えてたところもありました。参加の際にはお気を付けくださいませ。

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

Kayaking adventure for sure!

Reviewed by: Laurie

Overall, a beautiful adventure on the ocean. A few comments:

1 - waiting area prior to launching kayaks is full of mosquitoes and my children received many bites
2 - if you are not with a partner and have to go in a single kayak vs. tandem, know this is extra work as simply you don't have 4 arms paddling :-)
3 - the resting spot before heading back to the boat dock requires you to "climb" up a volcanic rock to have your snack/water - make sure you have proper water/outdoor shoes on as you will need that traction to climb up and then walk amongst the rocks; this applies to attire as well as my girls had bikini bottoms on and it was difficult to sit on the rocks with just their bikini bottoms and no towels etc (we did not know we would be stopping at that rock nor climbing up it so hence did not bring anything)
4 - this adventure is going up and back from the boat dock vs. being picked up after a one way paddle

ハワイ島 サーフィンレッスン　カハルウビーチパークで波乗り体験！マンツーマンのプライベートレッスンもあり＜英語インストラクター／現地集合＞

First surfing! 初のサーフィン！

Reviewed by: meg

I participated with my two high school daughters as a family of four. Although it was a group lesson, it turned out to be just our family since there were only four of us. We met on-site, and since we were staying in Keauhou, it was convenient to have both the beach and the office nearby.

First, we went to the office at 8:00 for an explanation and some preliminary practice, and then we made our way to the beach on our own. The beach was about a five-minute walk from the office. When we arrived, two instructors were waiting for us, and they taught the four of us. We took turns surfing in pairs, while the others rested by holding onto a float. The friendly lady who explained everything and the two instructors mentioned they were siblings or cousins and that they were doing this as a family.

Everything was in English, but we had no problem participating. I think their names were Jacob, John, and Tiffany. They were very friendly and cheerful. My daughters seemed to have so much fun that they even expressed a desire to surf again.

まず8:00にオフィスに行き、説明を受けて事前練習をしていざ、ビーチまではまた自走。オフィスから5分くらいのビーチです。着いたらイントラ2人が待機していて2人で4人をレッスンしてくれました。だいたい2人ずつ交互に波乗りする感じ。その間は浮きにつかまって休憩。説明してくれたお姉さんやイントラのお兄さん2人は兄弟やいとこで家族でやってるって言ってました。全部英語だけど、別に問題なく参加できました。
ジェイコブとジョンとティファニーだったかな。

We went as a family of four with our two high school daughters. We chose this tour because it was a bit cheaper than the Japanese guide, but everyone else in the group was foreign and spoke fast English. However, the couple guiding us, Shiso and Tracy, were very attentive and engaged with us, mixing in a little Japanese to explain the horseback riding instructions. Our daughters had no problems and enjoyed horseback riding. It was a great experience to explore the Waipi'o Valley on horseback, something we wouldn't have been able to do on our own.

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＞

The luau on the Big Island of Hawaii is ハワイ島のルアウは

Reviewed by: pao_pao

I previously experienced a luau at Hilton Hawaiian Village. There isn't much difference in the size of the seating or the stage. The performances and proceedings are similar, and the announcements are only in English, which made the excitement among the few Japanese travelers, including myself, somewhat lacking.

This time, my spouse and I used the premium seats, located in the second row from the front center of the stage (my wife's head is in the photo), while I was in the third row. These seats are right up close and provide an impressive view. After check-in, we were welcomed with leis and were guided to our seats, where we picked up our favorite drinks along the way. I went with a Mai Tai again this time. At the long table, about six people share taro chips, edamame, and jerky, allowing us to enjoy some time before the meal began. Additionally, this seating includes butler service (they frequently take drink orders), and drinks are all-you-can-drink, including alcohol. I ordered four cocktails, including Blue Hawaii, using a photo menu with Japanese explanations on the table. The glasses are large. The buffet food is also satisfying, on par with what you would find in Honolulu. The desserts here are especially recommended; the variety, taste, and presentation were all excellent. However, my stomach was already at capacity...

The premium seats are more expensive compared to general seating, but if you're going all the way to Hawaii Island to see a luau, it's definitely worth the splurge.

以前、ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジでのルアウを体験しました。客席の規模やステージの大きさにはあまり差はありません。演目や進行も同様で、やはり英語のみのアナウンスで、かなり少数の日本人旅行者の盛り上がりは私も含めて今一つでした。
今回夫婦二人での利用です。プレミアムシートで、席はステージ中央の前から二番目（写真にあるには嫁の頭）私は三番目。いわゆるかぶりつきのような席で迫力満点。チェックイン後に歓迎のレイをかけてもらい、席に案内される途中に好きな飲み物をピックアップします。私は今回もやはりマイタイ。長テーブルの席には約６名毎にタロイモチップスや枝豆、ジャーキーなどが配膳されていて、食事タイムが始まるまでのしばしの時間をすごすことができました。またこのシートではバトラーサービス（飲み物の注文をこまめにとってくれます）があり、アルコールを含めて飲み放題です。卓上にある写真入り日本語説明付きのカクテルメニュー（８種類位あります）で指差し注文、ブルーハワイなど計４杯も飲んでしまいました。グラスが大きいです。ブッフェの料理もホノルルと同等に満足てきるものです。ここは特にデザートがお薦めで、種類、味、見た目、全てよかったです。しかし私のお腹はすでに飽和状態 …
プレミアムシートは一般席に比べて高いですが、ハワイ島までいってルアウを見るのであれば決してケチらないことです。

ケアウホウ湾　シーカヤック＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞by オーシャンサファリ・カヤック

I think it's just right for easily experiencing the sea and nature of the Big Island of Hawaii. 手軽にハワイ島の海と自然を感じるには程良いと思います

Reviewed by: anke1969

Sea kayaking typically accommodates two people per kayak. Since you paddle about 4 miles at a decent speed, I think less powerful individuals, like women, might get quite tired.

The cliff jump from a height of 10 meters (optional) was an unexpected experience, but the other activities like exploring the caves (just a little way into the entrance) and snorkeling (only for 10 minutes, close to shore and not particularly rich in fish) felt somewhat lackluster.

It was disappointing that we couldn't take any photos because we were told not to bring anything that could get wet, including smartphones, which were collected in a storage box. I think it would have been nice if the guide could have taken some photos for us.

シーカヤックは基本一艇に二人で乗ります。それなりのスピードでトータル4マイルほど漕ぐので非力な女性などはそれなりに疲れると思います。
10ｍの高さからのクリフジャンプ(希望者のみ)は予想外の体験でしたがその他の洞窟(入り口付近にちょっと入るだけ)やシュノーケリング(10分間のみ、岸からも近く特に魚影が濃い訳でもなくどこでも体験出来る内容)は中途半端な感じはしました。
濡れて困るものは一切持って行くなという事でスマホなども保管箱に回収されてしまったので何も写真が撮れなかったのが残念です。であればせめてガイドが写真を撮ってくれても良いと思います。

ケアウホウ湾　シーカヤック＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞by オーシャンサファリ・カヤック

Everyone has fun! みんなで楽しい！

Reviewed by: momojun

As the reviews mentioned, everything was in English, but it's a tour where you hardly need to converse, so I think even those who are not confident can participate. I mentioned that I was a beginner, but we got into the kayak and suddenly paddled out to sea. Surprisingly, it was quite stable, and there was no risk of capsizing in the ocean. The sea cave was a bit different from what I imagined, but paddling out into the vast ocean was a fun experience. After snorkeling, the guide passed us pineapples, snacks, and drinks via the kayak. It was fun to connect the kayaks with a rope and pass the bag around. On the way back, we ended up drifting away from the group, and the guide tied a rope to my kayak and pulled me back. I applied sunscreen, but since the weather was nice, I recommend bringing it on the kayak and reapplying it several times.

口コミ通りすべて英語でしたが、ほぼ会話の必要のないツアーですので
自信のない方も参加可能かと思います。
初心者と伝えましたが、とりあえずカヤックに乗り込みいきなり海に漕ぎ出しました。
意外と安定感があり海でも転覆するようなことはありません。
シーケーブは想像とちょっと違いましたが、とにかく大海原へのカヤック漕ぎは楽しい経験となりました。
シュノーケリングの後は、ガイドさんがパイナップルやスナック、ドリンクをカヤックつてで渡してくれます。カヤックをロープでつないでみんなで袋を回していく感じで楽しいです。
戻る時には群れからどんどん離れてしまい、ガイドさんのカヤックにロープにつないでひっぱってくれました。
日焼け止めを塗ってましたが、天気がよくカヤックに持ち込み何度か塗りなおすことをお勧めします。

ワイピオ渓谷 　乗馬ツアー　＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞ by ワイピオ・オン・ホースバック

I had a truly healing experience unique to Hawaii! ハワイならではの体験でとっても癒されました！

Reviewed by: ゆうき

We went to Hawaii to celebrate my parents' 60th birthday. Since we were in Hawaii, I wanted to do something truly Hawaiian, so I signed up for this tour. Neither my parents nor I had any experience with horseback riding, and we were very worried before getting on the horses, but the moment I mounted the horse, all my anxiety disappeared, and I felt excited. For about an hour and a half, we enjoyed a leisurely ride, listening to the sound of the hooves and breathing in the fresh air of nature. My parents said that this horseback riding experience was the highlight of our time on the Big Island.

The tour was conducted entirely in English, so everyone except us were foreign participants. Even if you don't speak any Japanese, the guides communicate in broken Japanese, saying things like "stand" and "danger," so I don't think you need to worry too much.

Also, it takes about 25 minutes to travel from the meeting point to the riding area by wagon. I saw some comments mentioning that the travel time was long, but that's because we slowly descended the steepest slope in the U.S., and the guide explained the scenery we could see from the window, making it not boring at all; in fact, it was fresh, adventurous, and fun!

It was also more affordable than Japanese tours, and I was very satisfied!

両親の還暦祝いにハワイに行きました。
せっかくハワイ島に来たからには、ハワイらしいことがしたいと思い、こちらのツアーを申込みました。
僕も両親も、乗馬の経験は皆無で、乗る前までは非常に心配していましたが、馬にまたがった瞬間、これまでの不安は消え去り、ワクワクした気持ちになりました。そこから約1時間半、のんびり馬にまたがりながら、蹄のコツコツという音と、大自然の新鮮な空気を吸いながら過ごす時間は最高のものでした。両親も、この乗馬がハワイ島で一番のハイライトだと言っていました。
ツアー自体は全て英語で行われるため、ぼくたち以外は皆外国人の参加者でした。全く日本語が出来なくても、カタコトの日本語で「立って」や、「あぶない」など言ってくれるので、そんなに心配は要らないと思います。
また、集合場所から馬乗り場まではワゴンで25分ほど移動します。移動時間が長いというコメントもお見かけしましたが、それは全米1の急斜面をゆっくり下るためと、ガイドが車窓から見える景色を説明してくれているからであって、全く退屈せず、むしろ新鮮でアドベンチャラスで楽しかったです！
日本語のツアーよりもお値ごろでしたし、大満足です！！

You should arrive at the venue early to secure a good seat! 良い席を確保するためには早めに会場に行くべき！

Reviewed by: otagara

I planned to arrive 15 minutes before the opening, as I heard that this show tends to get quite crowded. However, the "Kamehameha Court" is located beyond the "Lagoon Tower," which is the farthest from the "Ocean Tower" where I'm staying. Even using the tram, it's best to allow at least 15 minutes for the journey.

Thanks to arriving early, I was able to secure a seat right in the middle, which offered the best view. (By the way, I booked a standard seat.)

I believe the show is the "Tropical Show" held at "Spa Resort Hawaiian," which I saw in a TV commercial before.

If you don't have a relaxed attitude of "enjoying the show while having a meal," some people might end up disappointed. I thought, "In any case, I'm going to have a meal, so I can enjoy a drink without my wife nagging me!" The participation fee is also quite high, so it varies depending on each person's style.

このショーは、結構混雑するらしいとのことで、開場15分前には到着するつもりでした。
しかしながら、『カメハメハコート』は、当方が滞在している『オーシャン・タワー』から一番遠い『ラグーン・タワー』の先にあります。
『トラム』を使っての移動でも15分は見ておいた方が無難です。
早く到着した甲斐もあり、開場のど真ん中の一番見やすい席を確保することができました。
（因みに、私が申し込んだのはスタンダードシートです。）

ショーの内容は、以前テレビコマーシャルで見た『スパリゾート・ハワイアン』で行われている『南国のショー』がこれに当たるのだと思います。

『食事を摂りながらショーも楽しむ！』ぐらいのおおらかさがないと、失望される方もいらっしゃるのではないでしょうか？
私は、『何れにせよ食事も摂るのだし、家内にぐだぐだ言われすにお酒が飲める！』との考えでした。
参加費用も高いので、各々のスタイルにより変わってくると思います。

As the only Japanese participant who didn't understand English that day, I approached the experience with a spirit of challenge. I was given a brochure with clear explanations in Japanese about the ship and the whales. While the staff were attentive with drinks and other services, I felt that there was a slight lack of effort in helping customers spot the whales. I was able to see a few jumps and blows faintly, but I thought the price for this activity was too high, even considering the cost of living.

この日の日本人参加者が、英語の分からない自分1人だったこともあり、どうなる事か…と、チャレンジ精神で臨みました。日本語で分かりやすく記載されている船内やクジラの説明のリーフレットを渡されました。係員の方々は、飲み物など、気を配ってくださいましたけれど、肝心なクジラをお客様に探して見てもらおうといった姿勢が若干欠けていたと感じました。

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

A blissful time, but be careful of the tidal currents in the shallows and the sea urchins! 至福の時間、でも浅瀬の潮の流れ、ウニには注意‼︎

Reviewed by: まちゃ

My trip to the Big Island always includes this snorkeling cruise.

First, we enjoyed a breakfast of fresh fruits and muffins. Along the way, we encountered whales and dolphins, and then headed to Captain Cook's destination. We had a fantastic time snorkeling in the beautiful sea and indulged in a BBQ lunch with hamburgers on board.

During snorkeling, even though I was in shallow water up to my knees, the current was strong, and I was swept away, becoming a feast for sea urchins. Thanks to my fins, I managed to protect the soles of my feet, but I ended up with 30 spines in my left ring finger, 20 in my right index finger, and countless others that I discovered later. I thought I had to remove them right there, so I endured the pain and pulled them out, somehow making it back to the boat. I was pushed back by the waves multiple times, leaving my knees and thighs covered in cuts and bruises, and I had significant bruising on my ribs, but the pain from the sea urchin stings was unbearable. My left ring finger swelled up black and was completely immobile, and even a light touch caused excruciating pain... the power of the sea urchin is terrifying.

The staff treated me with vinegar, which eased the intense pain a bit, but it was still an extraordinary level of discomfort. If you are careful about the current in shallow waters and the sea urchins, you can have a wonderful time!

ハワイ島の旅は、必ずこのシュノーケルクルーズに参加しています。

今回、シュノーケルをしている時に、膝下ぐらいしかない浅瀬にもかかわらず、潮の流れが強く、身体がどんどん流され、見事にウニの餌食…
足ヒレのお陰でなんとか足裏はガード出来ましたが、左手薬指に30本、右手人差し指に20本、その他後から傷口見たら数え切れないほどの長い針が刺さってしまいました。とにかくその場で抜かねば、と思い、痛みをこらえ抜き取り、なんとか船へ戻りました。何度も潮に押し戻されたので膝と太腿は切り傷にアザだらけ、肋骨は打撲とかなりの怪我でしたが、ウニに刺された部分がとにかく痛すぎでした。左手薬指は真っ黒に腫れ上がり全く曲げられず、ちょっと触るだけでも激痛…恐るべしウニパワー…

Reviewed by: よこりん

The meeting time was 7:30, but we were actually called to the boat around 8:00. I guess it's the laid-back Thai time… I was a bit disappointed since I woke up quite early.

The meeting place is very hard to find; it's the building on the beach adjacent to the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort. It feels more like a makeshift hut than a beach house.

The weather was great on the day, and we were able to see whales about 12 times. My mother, who joined me, seemed very satisfied! However, it was quite cold, so having a windbreaker or something similar would be a good idea.

The explanations were only in English, and there were no brochures or anything. They will say, "Look in the direction of the time!" in English, so please make sure to look quickly in that direction!!

When getting off the boat, you will get wet up to your knees, so I definitely recommend participating in a skirt or pants that can be rolled up!

7:30集合でしたが、実際に船に呼ばれたのは8:00〜でした。
南国タイムなのでしょうか…だいぶ早起きしたので、少し残念に思いました。

集合場所がとてもわかりづらいですが、ワイコロアビーチマリオットリゾートホテルに隣接しているビーチの建物です。
海の家というよりは、掘建て小屋のような感じです。

当日は天気も良く、12回ほど鯨を見ることができ、一緒に参加した母も大満足の様子でした！
なお、とても寒かったので、ウインドブレーカーなどあった方が良さそうです。

説明は英語のみで、特にパンフレットなどはありませんでした。
「○時の方向を見て！」と英語で言われるので、迅速にその方向を見てください！！

下船時、膝まで濡れますので必ずスカートやまくり上げられるパンツでの参加をオススメします！

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 was able to swim with pilot whales and manta rays. The coral reef snorkeling is included, so it might be surprisingly good value. ゴンドウクジラやマンタとも一緒に泳げました。珊瑚礁シュノーケリングが付いているので意外とお得かも。

The guide spoke English and was very friendly, accustomed to dealing with Japanese guests.

Basically, it's a tour where you enjoy swimming with dolphins and then go snorkeling at the coral reefs of Kealakekua Bay. There were six guests on the Zodiac boat, but it seemed like that was the maximum capacity.

Light snacks included chips and fruits (pineapple, papaya, grapes), and drinks were also provided.

On the day I participated, I was very satisfied as I got to swim with pilot whales and manta rays. The snorkeling at the coral reef and the cave guide were included, and considering that they even chased after humpback whales when it was time to return, I thought it was surprisingly good value compared to tours that just do dolphin snorkeling and head back right away. It's also a plus that it's very close from the Sheraton.

ガイドは英語ですが、日本人相手に慣れていて、とても親切です。
基本的に、イルカと泳ぐのを楽しんだ後、ケアラケクア湾の珊瑚礁でスノーケリングをするというツアーです。ゾディアックボートにお客さんは6人乗りましたが、これ以上は無理そう。
軽食はスナック菓子とフルーツ（パイナップル、パパイヤ、ブドウ）でした。飲み物もあります。

私が参加した日は、ゴンドウクジラ、マンタとも一緒に泳ぐことができて大満足でした。珊瑚礁でのシュノーケリングや洞窟ガイドもついていて、帰る時間になってもザトウクジラを追いかけてくれたことを考えると、イルカシュノーケリングだけですぐ帰るツアーと比べて、意外と割安かなと思いました。
シェラトンからならすぐ近くなのもポイントです。

キラウエア火山　ドアなし ヘリコプター遊覧 ＜英語パイロット／フライト60分／ヒロ空港集合＞ by パラダイスヘリコプター

I was anxious. 不安でした

Reviewed by: しのっち

I was worried that the helicopter might be canceled due to an unexpected eruption until the day of the flight. I'm glad we were able to fly safely. The view from the powerful helicopter and the sight of the eruption were breathtaking. However, I wished I could have seen the volcano up close a bit more. Well, I suppose safety reasons prevent that.

まず今回思わぬところで噴火していてヘリコプターがキャンセルにならないか当日まで不安でした
無事飛ぶことが出来て良かったです
迫力あるヘリコプターからの景色と噴火の様子圧巻でした
ただもう少し火山の様子を近くで見たかったです
まぁーこれも安全上出来ないのでしょうが

Last year, I participated in a dolphin tour with a Japanese guide, so when I compare the two experiences, I felt a sense of neglect here. Since it was an English tour, I couldn't catch much anyway, and the explanations were brief, plus there was no guide who entered the water with us. However, as soon as we got into the water, there were a lot of dolphins. They came really close, and I could see even the little scratches on their backs clearly. After that, while moving to another snorkeling spot, they looked for whales, and we were actually able to see one. The snorkeling was in a very clear area, and on the way back, they shared stories about the Big Island of Hawaii. I think it would have been even better if I could speak English, but I had a great experience.

去年は日本人のガイドさんのイルカツアーに参加していたので、比較してみると放置感はありました。英語のツアーなのでどうせ聞き取れないのですが、説明も短く一緒に海に入ってくれるガイドさんはいませんでした。それでも海に入ったとたんたくさんのイルカがいました。
本当に近くまで来てくれて、背中のちょっとしたキズまではっきりみえました。その後、別のシュノーケルのスポットに移動する間くじらを探してくれて、実際にみることができました。とても透明感のある場所でシュノーケルをして、帰りはハワイ島のお話をしてくれました。英語ができたらもっと良かったと思いますが、良い経験をさせていただきました。
