About 10 minutes after departing from Kona, we encountered dolphins.
After about 20 minutes, we proceeded to the diving point.
We played with colorful fish, slides, and inflatable rings that delighted the kids.
I was satisfied to see my child, who was not fond of deep water, happily swimming without any signs of anxiety.
コナを出港して10分程でイルカに遭遇
20分程船を進めてダイビングポイントへ
色取り取りな魚と、滑り台や子供が喜ぶ浮き輪で遊びました。
深い海が苦手だった子供が楽しそうに不安な様子もなく泳いでる姿に満足しました。

I signed up because I wanted to go cave exploring, but we didn't go to the cave. There was no explanation for not going (there might have been one, but it wasn't heard by everyone over the sea). It ended earlier than planned. Snorkeling was fun, but I feel like I missed out.
洞窟探検に行きたくて申し込んだのに、洞窟行かない。行かない説明申し込んだのにない(あったかもしれしれないけど、海の上では、全員には、聞こえない)。予定より早く終わった。シュノーケリングは、楽しかったけど、なんか損した気分

We had a great time at the Luau, it could have used a better set up for the Adult Beverages there was only one line for that and had to wait which caused us to miss a few of the performances, but all in all was really fun for my Girlfriend and I..

We had a great time kayaking the beautiful clear blue water with our guides Ben and Devin. Was a lot of fun getting to snorkel and cliff jump and the guides provided us with snacks and drinks on the cliffs. The highlight for sure, however, was having a pod of dolphins swim by/amongst us on both our way there and our way back. Awesome time. Thanks Ben and Devin!

I only got to swim with dolphins once, but it was fun.
After that, we moved to Kealakekua Bay for snorkeling, which was very beautiful.
However, it was disappointing that I couldn't understand what the captain was explaining since he spoke in English.
イルカと泳げたのは1回のみでしたが楽しかったです。
その後、場所を移して、ケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケルも
大変、きれいでした。
ただ、キャプテンが英語だったので何を説明しているのか
分からなかったのが残念でした。
Dear Sachiko, thank you very much for participating in our tour despite it being in English, and for taking the time to leave a comment. I'm glad to hear that you were able to swim with the dolphins and enjoyed Kealakekua Bay as well.
さちこ様、弊社のツアーは英語であるにも関わらず、参加して頂き、またわざわざお時間を割いてコメントを残して頂き、誠にありがとうございます。イルカと泳げたようで、またケアラケクア湾も楽しんで頂けたようで、何よりです。

I read past experiences and applied without much expectation, but I was very satisfied. I lined up for the Ali'i seats around 5:10 PM and was guided to the front row seat, one to the right of the center, so I had a great view of the stage. The Ali'i seats also had the food served first, and they brought drinks when requested, allowing me to enjoy my meal at a leisurely pace. I was satisfied as I could experience the Hawaiian atmosphere.
過去の体験談を読んで、あまり期待せずに申し込みしたのですが、十分満足しました。
アリイ席の列に17時10分頃に並び、センターより1つ右側の最前列の席に案内されたので、ステージが良く見えてよかったです。
アリイ席はお料理も先に案内されるし、ドリンクもたのめば持ってきてくれるのでゆっくり食事を楽しめました。
ハワイらしい雰囲気が味わえたので満足です。

The people at sea paradise were truly outstanding. They were professional, fun, and extremely accommodating. Let me preface this review by saying that I suffer from extreme motion sickness and had I not been heavily medicated then this would've been a truly awful experience, of course this was no fault of the crew, the waters are just that rough. The crew Heather and Troy and the captain did their absolute best to make me feel better, while entertaining my six year old daughter. We saw tons of mantas and they barrel roll right under you almost touching you. Truly a remarkable experience. Once we decided we had enough the crew got us back to the shore as quickly as possible as they could tell I was in distress. I highly recommend this experience, just be aware that you will need every form of motion sickness prevention if that's a concern. I couldn't be more pleased with the crew of sea paradise.
Aloha and Mahalo for taking the time to review your experience. We are happy you had a great time and you took the precautions you needed for your motion sickness. The waters in Kona are generally flat and the calmest of the islands, however once in awhile we do get a swell. Happy the mantas put on their beautiful performance to keep you at ease. A Hoi Hou and Aloha!

I participated on the first day of my arrival on the Big Island. I was really looking forward to it since I couldn't join last time due to scheduling conflicts, and it was great to experience the tropical atmosphere right from the start. I was a bit disappointed that if I had arrived a little earlier, I could have enjoyed the free TATOO experience, but I still had a wonderful time with the show and the meal.

I participated in a morning tour. It took less than an hour on a larger boat to reach the snorkeling point. There were chairs and tables in the cabin on the first floor where we could have breakfast and lunch, and since there was only one snorkeling spot, we were able to relax and enjoy it. The water at the spot was clear, and there were plenty of fish.
午前中のツアーに参加しました。大きめの船でシュノーケルポイントまで1時間弱。
1階の船室で椅子・テーブルがあり朝、昼飯が食べれ、ポイントも一か所なのてゆっくり出来て良かったです。
ポイントも水が澄んでいて魚もいっぱいです。

Our driver and tour host presented us with a very interesting and colorful history of the Big Island. He had a great sense of humor too! He paced the trip on the attendees, when there was an obvious interest in an area. This tour is a good for those wanting to get a broad acquaintance with the Big Island and it's various areas and interests. It was our springboard for other activities!

We had a wonderful day touring historic and sacred sites as well as Greenwell Farms and Big Island Bees. Our guide, Kawika, was highly knowledgeable about the areas visited and wove together an interesting narrative of the traditions, the myths, and the historical facts of Hawai’i. His personality fit very well with the people in our group, so it was enjoyable and personable as well. Greenwell Farms and Big Island Bees were beautiful and I bought coffee and honey to take home with me. I recommend this tour. We did a half day, but a full day with Kawika would be just as informative and entertaining.

By far the nicest crew. They were very attentive. Always making sure u didn't need anything. The music was excellent and our speaker Micheala was the sweetest and very informative about the island.
