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>

It was the best experience! 最高の体験でした!

Reviewed by: Hawaiiあいす

We thoroughly enjoyed thrilling rafting and beautiful snorkeling in the ocean under wonderful weather! The service from the captain and crew was absolutely five-star! In the morning, we were able to swim leisurely before the snorkeling spot at Kealakekua Bay became crowded with boats, and we got to see and even touch many dolphins up close. The sea, sparkling like a jewel, was also very satisfying. My kids (especially my son) were thrilled, saying the captain was an excellent navigator and super cool, and that this was the most fun they’ve ever had on a trip. They can’t wait to join again next time!

★ Sunscreen is a must. Sunglasses and a lightweight beach towel are also essential. It gets quite chilly while swimming. You might not need a hat as it could blow away. Since large bags cannot be taken on the boat, it’s best to bring only what you need in a compact backpack. Sandals are sufficient for footwear. My younger child (9) can swim but borrowed a life jacket from the reception office (which is free, of course). My older child (13) got tired and borrowed a noodle (a floating tube like macaroni) halfway through. Having a noodle makes it easier. There isn’t a specific place to change after returning, so you’ll either stay in your swimsuit or change in the rental car. There was a restaurant and restroom where we disembarked! ★

素晴らしいお天気の中、スリリングなラフティングと美しい海のシュノーケルを存分に楽しみました!なんと言っても、サービス満点なキャプテン&クルーは5つ星間違いなし!朝、ケアラケクア湾のシュノーケルスポットが船で溢れ返ってしまう前にゆっくりと泳げましたし、沢山のイルカを触れるほど間近で見ることもできました。宝石のような輝きの海にも大満足でした。子供たち(特に息子)はキャプテンは操縦がうまくてめちゃくちゃかっこいいし今回の旅で一番楽しかったと大喜びでした。次回も参加したいと大はしゃぎです! 

★日焼け止めは必須です。サングラス、それからバスタオルは薄手の物でも必ず持った方が良いです。泳いでいるとだいぶ冷えます。帽子は飛ばされちゃいますのでいらないかと。ボートに大きな荷物は載せられないので、コンパクトなリュックに必要なものだけ持っていくと良いでしょう。履物はサンダルで十分です。 
下の子(9)は泳げますが受付事務所でライフジャケットを借りました(もちろん無料です)上の子(13)疲れて途中でヌードル(マカロニみたいな浮くチューブ)を借りました。ヌードルがあると楽です。帰りに着替える場所は特に無いので、水着のままかレンタカーの中で着替えるかになります。下船した所にレストランとトイレがありましたよ★

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

空を飛ぶのは素晴らしい Awesome flying in the sky

Reviewed by: シャーロット

空からビッグアイランドを見渡す素晴らしい機会でした。船は速く進んでいましたが、空中にいるときはその速さを感じませんでした。そこでは快適に過ごし、カイルアコナのパノラマを楽しむことができました。

It was a great opportunity to look around the Big Island from the sky. Even though the ship went rapidly, we didn't feel so when we were in air. We felt comfortable there and enjoyed viewing the panorama of the Kailua Kona.

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

In the first place. そもそも

Reviewed by: ほぬさま

This is not just about the tour content; it's a bigger issue. I used your service in August, and although I made a proper reservation for four people from Japan, only two reservations were actually confirmed, and the remaining two ended up being walk-ins on the day of the tour. Due to the pricing situation, I emailed Veltra after returning home, but I have been ignored regarding this matter. I will not be using this company in the future.

ツアー内容どうこうの話ではなく、それ以前の問題です。8月にお世話になったのですが、日本からきちんと4名の予約をしていったのに、実際予約が2名分しかとれていなく残りの2名は当日予約になってしまいました。料金の兼ね合いもありveltraさんに帰国後メールを入れましたがそれに関しては無視されています。今後この会社を使うことはありません。

Reply from activity provider

Thank you very much for participating in the tour.

However, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused during your trip.

As mentioned in a separate email, your reservation was made for four people in our system, but it seems that the operating company mistakenly secured seats for only two people. Our staff noticed on the day of the tour that your reservation was for four people and that you had paid for it, and they canceled the additional two seats on the spot.

It is truly regrettable that what should have been a wonderful memory from the snorkeling cruise turned into a bitter experience due to our reservation management error. We also apologize for the delayed response to your review. We have taken strict measures to ensure that the operating company does not cause any inconvenience to customers due to such reservation errors in the future.

We take your feedback seriously and, together with the operating company, will strive to improve our services further. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback amidst your busy schedule.

VELTRA Customer Support Team

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
しかしながら、せっかくのご旅行中にご不便おかけし、大変申し訳ございませんでした。

別途メールにてご連絡させていただきましたが、お客様のご予約ですは弊社のシステム上では4名様にてご予約いただいておりましたが、催行会社側にて誤って2名様で席を確保していたようでございます。当日中にスタッフがお客様のご予約が4名様でお支払されていることに気が付き、追加でご予約いただいた2名様分につきましてはその場でキャンセルしたとのことでした。

せっかく楽しみにしていただいたシュノーケリングクルーズであったにも関わらず、予約管理不備により良い旅の思い出になるべきところが苦い思い出へ変わってしまったこと大変心苦しく感じております。また体験談にご投稿いただいたにも関わらずご返信が遅くなりましたことお詫び申し上げます。催行会社にはこのような予約不備にてお客様にご迷惑をおかけすることがございませんよう厳重注意させていただきました。

お客様からのお言葉を真摯に受け止め、催行会社共々、今後さらなるサービス向上に努めてまいります。
お忙しい中、貴重なご投稿を賜りまして、誠にありがとうございました。

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

Subtle. 微妙

Reviewed by: ナオミ

Compared to other tours, the waiting time before starting was long, and the time spent riding the horse was short. We followed almost the same course, but other tours were already turning back and passing us. We were on the horse for about 40 to 50 minutes. I expected it to be 1.5 to 2 hours. The route felt more like the horse was just walking along a car track rather than going through the great outdoors. The guide spoke in English, but since there was a long line of horses, only those near the speaker could hear. I would recommend a tour that allows you to walk down into the canyon instead. Alternatively, if you're looking for a similar tour, I would recommend the Na'alapa tour.

ほかのツアーと比べて開始までの時間が長く馬に乗る時間が短い。ほぼ同じコースを通るのですが他のツアーは、すでに折り返しで我々とすれ違う状況。馬に乗っていたのは40~50分くらいでしょうか。1.5~2時間と思っていましたが。ルートも大自然の中を行くというより車のわだちを馬が勝手に歩くという感じです。案内も英語さらに長い馬の隊列なので話す人の近くの人しか聞こえません。私は、渓谷に下りて足で歩く時間をとるツアーのほうをお勧めします。または、同じようなツアーならばナアラパのツアーをお勧めします。

I was a bit concerned that it ended much earlier than scheduled, but I was glad to participate and swim with the many dolphins.

なぜか予定の時間よりかなり早く終了してしまったことがちょっと気になりました、イルカがいっぱいいて、一緒に泳げて参加してよかったです。

Reply from activity provider

Thank you very much, Yumi, for taking the time to write a review. August is a peak season for many tour companies, and the date you participated, August 15, was also during this busy period. There are only two boat ramps in Keauhou Bay, and we share these ramps with other companies. Everyone usually returns to the boat ramp around noon, so sometimes there can be a wait of about 30 minutes. To avoid keeping you and the other guests waiting, I believe the boat captain who was in charge of your tour returned to Keauhou Bay a bit earlier. I apologize if this caused any disappointment. I'm glad to hear that you were able to swim with the dolphins. It is an honor to hear you say, "I'm glad I participated."

ゆみーさん わざわざお時間を割いてレビューを書いていただき、誠にありがとうございます。8月はどこのツアー会社さんにとてもハイシーズンで、ゆみーさんが参加してくださいました8/15もそのハイシーズンの季節でありました。ケアウホウ湾にはボートランプが二つのみで、そのランプを他社と弊社が共有しております。皆さん12時頃にボートランプに戻ってきますので、時には30分ほど待つこともあります。そこでゆみーさんたちお客様を待たせてしまっては申し訳ないので、ゆみーさんのツアーを担当させていただきましたボートキャプテンが少し早めにケアウホウ湾に戻ってきたのだと思います。残念な思いをさせてしまったとしたら、申し訳ありませんでした。イルカと一緒に泳げたとのこと。それは良かったです。「参加してよかったです」と言っていただき、光栄です。

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

It was the best experience. 最高の体験でした

Reviewed by: Marverick

After watching Miho Kanno on television, I really wanted to join a doorless helicopter tour. Before the tour, we received a thorough briefing, which made me feel secure about getting on the helicopter. Since it was my first time in a helicopter, I expected some turbulence, but it felt smooth as if gliding over the water, so I had no anxiety. I was able to see the lava flowing into the ocean and the steam rising, as well as feel the hot winds. Additionally, we had a bird's-eye view of waterfalls like Rainbow Falls, and my family of three is thrilled to have had the best experience of our lives. After the tour, my wife thanked me for giving her the front seat. According to her, the front seat was the best. Next time, I want to let my daughter sit there. I definitely want to recommend this tour to my friends. Thank you very much.

菅野美穂さんのテレビを見て、どうしても扉なしのヘリツアーに参加したくなりました。ツアー前に丁寧にブリーフィングしていただき、安心してヘリに乗ることができました。初めてのヘリでしたので、揺れることを予想していましたが、水面を滑るような感じで不安はありませんでした。期待していた海に溶岩が流れ込み水蒸気が立ち上るところや溶岩の流れ、その熱風を肌で感じることができました。さらに、レインボーフォールなどの滝を俯瞰することができ、人生最高の体験をできたと家族3人喜んでいます。ツアー後、妻から前の席を譲ってくれてありがとうと感謝されました。妻曰く、前の席は最高だったよとのことです。今度は娘に座らせてあげたいです。友人にも是非紹介したいツアーです。ありがとうございました。

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>

It was a very good experience! とても良い経験になりました!

Reviewed by: Kiki

I found out about an activity where you can swim with dolphins and made a reservation after arriving on-site. There were three groups of six people on the boat. The female captain was very cheerful and kind, allowing everyone to try multiple times until we could swim with the dolphins. Wild dolphins are very fast, so it felt more like a lucky observation rather than swimming together, but seeing the dolphins underwater was incredibly cute and a valuable experience! Swimming with dolphins requires some luck, and they appear for just a moment, so I was very satisfied with choosing a tour that included snorkeling. The water where we snorkeled was extremely clear, and there were many fish! It was beautiful.

However, compared to other dolphin tours, the price is high even without transportation. I think it's understandable due to the small group size. That said, the atmosphere was very homey and enjoyable, and it was nice to learn about Hawaii's history at a relaxed pace. The fruits and tea we had after snorkeling were also very delicious. The speedboat was thrilling, comparable to a roller coaster, and that was one of the fun aspects of the tour! Motion sickness medication is a must! Even with sunscreen, you can get quite sunburned, so I was glad I wore a rash guard!

イルカと泳げるアクティビティがあると知り現地に到着してから予約しました。
乗船したのは3組6名。女性の船長さんはとても明るく優しい方で全員がイルカと泳げるまで何度も挑戦させて下さいました。野生のイルカはとても速く、一緒に泳ぐというよりは泳いでいるのを観察できたらラッキーという感じですが水中で見るイルカはとても可愛くて貴重な経験になりました!イルカと泳ぐには運も必要だし、イルカがいるのは本当に一瞬なのでシュノーケリング付きのツアーにした事で満足度がかなり上がりました♪シュノーケリングをした海は透明度がすごくて魚もたくさん!とてもキレイでした☆
ただ、他のイルカツアーに比べると、送迎無しにも関わらず値段が高いです。少人数制なので仕方ないとは思います。その分アットホームな雰囲気で楽しかったですし、ハワイの歴史などもゆっくりと教えて頂けたのは良かったです。シュノーケリングの後に頂いたフルーツもお茶もとっても美味しかったです☆
高速船はジェットコースター並の迫力でそれもこのツアーの楽しさの1つでした☆酔い止めは必須です!日焼け止めを塗っていてもかなり焼けるので、ラッシュガードを着ておいてよかったです!

Thank you, Kiki, for taking the time to write a review. Yes, the highlight of our tours is providing a small group experience (with a maximum of six people) in a homey atmosphere. Additionally, since we operate our own boat, you won't have to share with other companies. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay, which is a marine protected area. It's truly a beautiful place. Thank you very much for your review, which will be helpful for other customers.

Kikiさん、わざわざお時間を割いてレビューを書いてくださり、ありがとうございました。はい、弊社のツアーの醍醐味は少人数制で(多くて6人まで)アットホームなツアーをお客様に提供することです。また、弊社は自社ボートでツアーを行うので、他の会社と乗り合いになることはありません。海洋保護地区であるケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングも楽しんでいただけたようで、何よりです。本当に美しいところですよね。他のお客様が読まれて参考になるレビューを、本当にありがとうございました。

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>

Perfect for families. 家族連れに最適

Reviewed by: モアナ

This was my first experience with my family. Personally, it was my third time, but I’ll briefly outline the pros and cons.

First, the pros:
1. The marina is very close to the points, so the total travel time is short.
2. The boat is large and comfortable.
3. There was a child who gets seasick on board, but since the points are close, I think it was relatively easy for them.

Now, the cons:
1. The explanations are only in English, but I don’t think that will be a problem.
2. The journey is short, so you can’t enjoy the scenery of Kona town.

Depending on the timing, I think the LED lights were strong, and we had a relatively good number of sightings.

I plan to come back here next time as well.

家族連れでは初体験でした。
個人的には3度目でしたが簡単に長所と短所を書いておきます。

まず長所
1、マリーナからポイントまでが非常に近くに全行程の所要時間が短くて済む。
2、船が大きくて快適。
3、船酔いしやすい子が同船してましたがポイントまでが近いので比較的楽だと思います。

で短所
1、英語の説明しかないが困る事は無いと思う。
2、道中が短いのでコナの街の景色を眺める事が出来ない。

タイミングにもよると思いますがLEDのライトが強く比較的沢山来てくれたと思います。

次回からもここにしようと思います。

Is it a coincidence that we can see dolphins? イルカが見れるのは偶然?

Reviewed by: たーくんママ

We were lucky enough to see dolphins by chance, but I felt that encountering them depends on luck since we didn't forcefully search for or chase them. The boat swayed, but it was a large vessel, so I felt safe. The restrooms were clean, and the staff members were kind (they can communicate in English).

私たちは偶然イルカを見ることができましたが、無理にイルカを探したり追いかけたりすることをしないので、イルカに遭遇できるかは運次第かな?と感じました。

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

The best experience 最高の体験

Reviewed by: おてつ

I was hesitant to participate because the price was high, but I really wanted to see the red lava, so I decided to join.

The helicopter with doors had a pilot plus six passengers, while the doorless helicopter had a pilot plus four passengers.

Check-in time is one hour before departure. I parked my rental car in the airport parking lot and paid about $7 at the parking lot exit on my way back. Luggage is generally left at the reception. If you want to bring items like cameras or smartphones, they must have a strap, so be careful. A short strap can be purchased for $2. I brought my smartphone in a waterproof cover with a strap since it couldn't have a strap attached. Long hair needs to be tied up.

Forty minutes before departure, we watched a video about lava and volcanoes, followed by a safety briefing from the staff regarding seat belts and other instructions.

It was my first time on a helicopter, so I was scared at first, but the view of the Big Island from above was wonderful. It rained on and off that day, and there were moments of heavy rain on the ground, but we were able to depart without any issues, and I didn't get wet inside the doorless helicopter. On the way to the volcano, we saw vast macadamia nut fields. I could easily spot the ocean entry from the smoke rising, but I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't see the red lava. Along the way, we circled above the area where the red lava was visible among the black lava fields, allowing us to take photos. They circled so that both sides could take pictures, which made me a little nauseous.

At the crater, most of the surface was black, but I was very moved to see some red lava bubbling. (It was something I personally really wanted to see.)

After that, we returned to Hilo through breaks in the clouds. Along the way, we saw several waterfalls and the streets of Hilo. The pilot provided explanations in English throughout.

The flight lasted just under an hour, but I was very satisfied to see the red lava, adding to the extraordinary experience of being in a helicopter. I also considered a boat tour to see the ocean entry, but based on the activity in August 2017, it seemed that the ocean entry wasn't flowing with a lot of red lava, so I felt glad to have participated in this tour where I could directly see the red lava inside the crater.

値段も高いので参加を迷っていましたが、赤い溶岩をどうしても見てみたくて参加しました。

ドアありがパイロットプラス6人乗りのヘリコプターでドアなしはパイロットプラス4人乗りのヘリコプターでした。

チェックイン時間は出発時間の1時間前。
レンタカーは空港の駐車場に停めて帰りに駐車場の出口で7ドル?くらい払いました。
荷物は基本受付に預けて置いていきます。
カメラやスマホなど持ち込みたいものはストラップ付きでないと不可なので気をつけて。
短いストラップが2ドルで買えます。
ストラップのつけられないスマホはストラップ付きの防水カバーに入れて持ち込みました。
長い髪は束ねる必要があります。
出発時間の40分前から溶岩・火山に関するビデオを見た後に係員によるシートベルトなどの説明がありました。

ヘリコプターが初めてだったので最初は怖かったけど上空から見るハワイ島の景色はとても素敵でした。
この日は雨が降ったり止んだりで、地上では一瞬強い雨の時もあったけど問題なく出発できましたし、ドアなしでも機内で濡れることはなかったです。
ボルケーノに向かう途中では広大なマカダミアナッツ畑が見れました。
オーシャンエントリーは立ち上る煙で遠くからすぐわかりましたが赤い溶岩は見えなくて少しがっかり。
途中、黒い溶岩の大地の中で赤い溶岩が見えているところの上空を旋回して写真を撮らせてくれたりしました。左右どちらに乗っても撮れるように旋回してくれたので若干酔いました。
火口では表面の大部分が黒いですが、一部赤い溶岩がふつふつと動いているのが見れてとても感動しました。
(個人的にとても見たかったものなので)

その後は雲の切れ間を通りヒロへと帰還。
途中いくつかの滝を見たりヒロの街並みが見れます。
パイロットが英語でひたすら説明してくれます。

合計1時間弱のフライトでしたがヘリコプターという非日常に加えて念願の赤い溶岩が見れて大満足でした。
オーシャンエントリーが見られる船のツアーとも迷いましたが2017年8月の活動の様子だとオーシャンエントリーではがっつり赤い溶岩が流れてくるというわけではなさそうな感じがしたので火口の内部の赤い溶岩を直接見ることができたこのツアーに参加して良かったと思いました。

It feels like a friendly couple runs this place. Since we were supposed to gather at 9, I arrived 10 minutes early, but no one was there. The couple showed up right on time. We departed at 9:30, and they told us to eat bananas and macadamia nuts while we waited. I was worried about being able to ride the horse, but it seemed well-trained, so I had nothing to worry about. I had a very enjoyable time. I had previously looked at the scenery from above the valley, but this was a valuable experience that you can only appreciate by going down.

Oh, the restroom is extremely dirty. It stinks! So, I strongly recommend taking care of that before arriving at the meeting point. There is a public restroom at the Waipi'o Valley lookout, so it's a good idea to use that. It's not clean either, but it's much better than here.

Also, after the horseback riding, the couple leaves the customers behind to go for lunch. That was refreshing in a way.

食べて待っていろとのこと。
馬を乗りこなせるか不安でしたが
きちんと調教されているらしく
何の心配もいりませんでした。
とても、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
以前、谷の上から景色を眺めたけど
これは、下に降りてこないと味わえない
貴重な体験でした。

あ、トイレめちゃくちゃ汚い。臭い!
なので、集合場所に着く前に済ませておくことを強く勧めます。
ワイピオ渓谷の展望台に公衆トイレがありますのでそこを使うといいです。
ここも、決して綺麗ではないですけど、よほどマシです。

それと、夫婦は乗馬が終わったら
ランチに行くのでお客を置いて行ってしまいます。
それも、なんか新鮮でしたよ。

  • 馬上から失礼します

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

My best memory. 一番の思い出

Reviewed by: こおろぎ

My 7-year-old daughter, my nephew, and my grandfather all participated. Since my daughter had ridden horses once in Hokkaido, she had some understanding of the process, but everyone was very satisfied as they were able to ride more than they expected. Unlike in Japan, where the instructor walks alongside holding the reins, here the instructor was also on horseback. At first, my daughter had some tears because she couldn't lift the horse's head well, but after a while, she seemed to be doing well.

The explanations were, of course, in English, so it seemed quite confusing for them. However, we had trouble finding the meeting point. We intended to arrive 30 minutes early, but we got lost and arrived right at the starting time, which caused inconvenience to those who had arrived earlier. It would be helpful to have more detailed information about the meeting point.

The weather was quite rainy, to the point where we thought it might be canceled, but the event went ahead. It stopped raining by the end, but I wished I had reminded everyone to bring raincoats based on the weather.

I participated in a different tour with my baby and mother, but the timing of the horseback riding experience worked out well, and I was able to pick them up properly.

My daughter said she wants to participate in horseback riding again and try running next time.

参加した7歳の娘も甥っ子もおじいさんもみんないっています。
北海道で一度乗馬をしているので、ある程度の流れわかっていたのですが、思っていた以上に乗馬でき大満足のみんなです。日本とは違い、指導の方が歩いて手綱をひいて、、いう乗馬の方法ではなく、指導の方も馬の上からなので、初めは娘がうまく馬の頭を上げられなく涙する場面があったようですが、しばらくすると、うまく進んでいたようです。
説明はもちろん英語だったので、ちんぷんかんぷんだったようですが、、、、
ただ、集合場所がわからなく、30分前に到着しよう思っていたのですが、迷子になり開始時刻に到着。先に到着されていたみなさんに迷惑をかけてしましました。
もっと詳しく集合場所がわかるといいです。
お天気も、、、中止か、、とおもうくらいの雨でしたが決行されました。最後には雨は上がったのですが、、持ち物にお天気によりカッパ必要とあれば持たせていたのに、、と思いました。

私は赤ちゃんと母と別のツアーに参加していましたが、乗馬体験の時間といい感じで組み合わせることができ、お迎えにもきちんいくことができましたよ。

娘は、次も乗馬に参加して走ってみたい、、といっています。

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>

Wonderful Hawaiian night. 素晴らしいハワイアンナイト

Reviewed by: ツインズパパ

On August 1st, I participated with six people, including two children. I think there is a need for improvement in guiding to the seats, but the buffet food was delicious, and the luau show was enjoyable with various performances like hula dancing and fire shows. I thought three hours from 5 PM to 8 PM would be long, but with the meal, the show, and the sunset along with the natural setting, I was able to enjoy it without getting bored.

8月1日に子供2人を含め6人で参加しました。
座席までの誘導に改善が必要かと思いますが、ブッフェの料理もおいしくルアウショーもフラダンスやファイヤーショーなどいろいろな構成があり楽しかったです。
5時から8時までの3時間で長いかと思いましたが、食事・ショーそしてサンセットと自然の演出もあり飽きずに楽しめました。

My husband and I loved this experience! It allowed us to see the other side of the island, which we would not have seen otherwise, and we got the best views of the volcano!

I highly recommend this excursion with Circle Island Helicopter Tours.

There were hardly any Japanese customers, just groups and families of foreigners, but they kindly approached us with a unique idea. With a stunning sunset as the backdrop, the entertainment was truly engaging and we had a wonderful time.

ドルフィン・クエスト イルカと触れ合えるプログラムが充実!キッズ向けプログラム<ヒルトン・ワイコロア・ビレッジ内>

It was a very good experience. とても良い体験です

Reviewed by: りゅうのすけ

You can interact with the dolphins comfortably under the guidance of the trainers. However, all communication is in English. The trainers are very friendly and use gestures to express themselves, but it would be less stressful if you have a basic understanding of English.

The experience lasts for 30 minutes, but you won't be interacting with the dolphins continuously for that entire time. Depending on the dolphins' situation, there will be moments when you are separated from them, and then you will interact with them again under the trainer's guidance. However, it felt like the total time was more than 30 minutes.

The dolphins are truly adorable, and the experience of being able to touch them is very valuable.

Also, when participating in this activity, you need to bring a bath towel from your hotel room. I forgot mine and ended up purchasing a towel from the shop for $30.

Additionally, during the activity, you are not allowed to take any photos or videos. Each group has a dedicated photographer, and you can purchase the footage for $100 (the video lasts for 20 minutes). You need to request this at check-in. After the activity, you can choose to purchase all the image data or individual prints. Buying all 40 images costs $125, but if you buy them individually, it will end up being about the same if you get around 6 images.

トレーナーの方の誘導で安心してイルカと触れ合うことが出来ます。
ただ、言語は全て英語です。トレーナーの方もとてもフレンドリーで身振りで表現をしてくださいますが、できれば基本的な英語がわかっている方がストレスはないと思います。
体験の時間は30分となっていますが、30分継続してイルカと触れ合る訳ではなかったです。イルカの状況に応じて暫くイルカと離れ、トレーナーの誘導で再び触れ合うような感じです。でもトータルの時間は30分以上だったように感じました。
イルカは本当に可愛らしく、実際に体を触ることが出来た経験はとても貴重です。
あと、こちらのアクティビティーに参加する際にはホテルの部屋からバスタオルを持っていかねばなりません。忘れてしまい、ショップのタオルを30ドルで購入しました。
あと、アクティビティー中は写真やビデオの撮影は一切できません。映像は各グループにつききっりの撮影者が付き、100ドルで購入可能です(映像の長さは20分間)。チェックインの際にお願いしなければなりません。写真はアクティビティーの後で、画像データを全部購入や、1枚ずつの写真印刷等、色々選べます。画像データは40カット全部を買うと125ドルですが、個別で買っても6画像ぐらい買うと結局それぐらいになります。

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

Disappointed

Reviewed by: Laura

Absolutely gorgeous morning...our guides Ben and Happy were amazing....they were really great....very helpful and very knowledgeable....it was the advertising of this event that I'm pissed about....me and my kids wanted to travel into sea caves....well....there was no sea cave...it was literally a hole in the mountain.....you don't go into a "cave" and explore and see amazing things....you literally go up to a wall and thats it. Had I known that....I wouldn't have dropped $85.00 bucks each to paddle out in a kayak to see a hole in a mountain!!! It's very misleading and I wouldn't waste the money on this.....we did see dolphins run by us in the kayaks, we did see some fish while snorkeling..even though my mask they provided kept fogging up...I eventually just gave up on the snorkeling and sat on a rock until it was time to go. No pictures to provide bc go pro didn't work.
