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

It was a tough workout. ハードな筋トレでした

Reviewed by: けいちい

We challenged ourselves to kayaking for the first time as a group of four, and it was great to set off in a tandem kayak. However, it felt like we had to paddle hard to avoid being pushed back by the waves, so I'm glad we weren't in single kayaks. One person did get seasick and had to take a break at the snorkeling point, and after that, they had to give up halfway! Everyone, don't forget to take motion sickness medication! Even though I took it beforehand, if you're not feeling well, please don't push yourself.

4人で初めてカヤックに挑戦、二人乗り用のカヤックに乗り出発したのは良いですが
盛漕ぎしないと波に戻される感じで、一人乗りじゃなくて良かったです
 しかし一人波に酔ってしまいシュノーケルポイントで少しやすんで
その後半分断念! 皆さん酔い止め忘れずに!
でもちゃんと飲んで行ったんですが体調悪い時は、無理しないで下さいね

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>

Packed full 盛りだくさん

Reviewed by: bongo

They called the pod of dolphins and positioned the boat ahead of them. When I entered the water following their instructions, there were so many dolphins! Sleeping dolphins, dolphins on the move, and I was very lucky to encounter dolphins every time I entered the water. The snorkeling afterward was also fantastic, with many fish to see, and they introduced us to sightseeing spots along the way, allowing us to see places we wouldn't have been able to visit on our own. It was amazing!

イルカの群れの流れを呼んでくれて、船で先回りしてくれます。指示を受けて海に入るとたくさんのイルカが!寝ているイルカ、移動中のイルカ、海に入る度にイルカに会え、非常にラッキーでした。その後のシュノーケリングもたくさんの魚に会え、途中に観光スポットも紹介してもらい、自分では行けないところも見れて最高でした!

野生のイルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングツアー <朝食・昼食付き>

58 + 63 + 75 = 196 years old 58+63+75=196歳

Reviewed by: J.O

My wife, her aunt, and I participated in this activity together. My wife's aunt is 75 years old and it was her first time snorkeling. The large boat was sleek and white, but we were the only Japanese among the staff and other guests, which made us a bit anxious... Although we couldn't communicate well, the staff was kind. My wife's aunt was able to safely experience snorkeling and saw yellow and blue fish. Unfortunately, it was cloudy and a bit windy, causing the boat to sway, and both my wife and her aunt got seasick before lunch, so they couldn't enjoy the delicious hamburgers. We didn't encounter a pod of dolphins, but on the way back to the port, four dolphins appeared at the stern of the boat, which made my wife's aunt very happy.

私達夫婦と妻の叔母の3人で参加しました。叔母は75歳でシュノーケリングは初めてす。真っ白でカッコイイ大型ボートでしたが、スタッフやお客さんの中で日本人は私達だけで不安・・・会話は通じなかったがスタッフは親切でした。叔母さんも無事シュノーケリングを体験し黄色や青い魚を見ました。残念ながら曇りと少し風がありボートが揺れて、昼食前に妻と叔母は船酔いで、美味しいハンバーガーを食べられませんでした。イルカの群れには遭遇できなかったが、帰港途中で船尾に4頭のイルカが現れ、叔母に喜んでもらえました。

Professional and Fun Group!

Reviewed by: Claire

Elvis and the crew are great fun, they really seem to enjoy there jobs. You would think taking boat loads of tourist out everyday they would get old, if it does they hide it well. They are a safe group and care for the island they are sharing with you. On the way back he turned the boat around to get us a better look at a beautiful Manta Ray. Well worth the time and money!!

The office staff is also great, they will call you to confirm, give you directions, answer questions. Really a great group, not a "sketchy tourist trap"!

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>

Kids Quest キッズクエスト

Reviewed by: n-love

The person in charge of my son was an American woman who couldn't speak any Japanese. I think if a child doesn't have at least some English skills, they might feel lost. However, the female instructor who took over during the final dolphin photo session was able to give instructions in Japanese. From what I gathered in casual conversations with the staff, she seemed to be the only one who could speak a little Japanese.

My son, who has sufficient English skills, was able to swim in the lagoon and learn about marine creatures, and he said he had a great time! I believe that if you can understand English, the program is packed with content and worth the price. I was also very satisfied as I took plenty of photos of my child.

Here’s a summary of the program:
We sat in a circle in a hut and introduced ourselves, sharing our names and favorite animals. We were given boards depicting 12 types of marine creatures, which were explained to us.

Then we moved to the lagoon to see those creatures. About three or four people held onto a float while being pulled by the instructor to observe in the lagoon (wearing life jackets).

We returned to the hut to observe and touch small marine creatures indoors.

Next, we moved to the corner of the dolphin pool. We were given boards depicting the fish that inhabit the dolphin pool and observed them (we didn’t enter the pool yet).

Finally, we entered the dolphin pool and met the dolphins. Each child got to touch the dolphins one at a time, and photos were taken each time. (While one child was touching the dolphin, the others were instructed not to touch it.)

After the program, photos can be purchased at the shop by the dolphin pool. I think it was about $50 for three photos, and you could buy them starting from one photo (three photos had the best price).

息子の担当をしてくださった方はアメリカ人女性で、日本語が全く話せない方でした。
コミュニケーションがとれる程度の英語力がないと、お子さんは所在無いと思います。
ただ、最後のイルカ撮影時にチェンジした女性教官は日本語の指示が出せる方でした。
(スタッフの方々とざっくりお話した感じでは、この方だけが日本語が少し話せるようでした)
息子(充分な英語力有)はラグーンで泳げたし海の生き物も教えてもらえたのでとーっても楽しかった!と言っています。
英語が理解できれば、内容盛り沢山で価格に見合ったプログラムだと思いました。
私も子供の写真撮りまくりで大満足です。

以下、内容です。
小屋で円陣を組んで座り自己紹介。自分の名前と好きな動物について発表。
12種類の海洋生物が描かれたボードが配られ、解説してくれる。

それらを見にラグーンへ移動。棒状のフロートに3,4人がつかまり、先生に引っ張られながらラグーンで観察(ライフジャケット装着)

小屋に帰り、室内で小さな海洋生物を観察、触る。

イルカプールの隅に移動。イルカプールに生息する魚が描かれたボードが配られ、それらを観察(まだプールには入らない)

いよいよイルカプールに入りイルカとご対面。基本一人ずつ触り、その都度撮影。
(一人が触ってる時は他の子は触らないように指示されていたそうです)

プログラム終了後はイルカプールサイドの売店で写真が購入できます。
3枚で$50程度、1枚から購入できたと思います(3枚が一番お得な価格設定)

Enjoyable but a little pricey, but worth it for the vip version!

Reviewed by: Marie 'n' Tom

We payed for the VIP package, and we're really glad we did. Ringside seats made the show amazing, but it wouldn't have been worth it from the nosebleeds. The food was great, with a broad selection anx generous portions. Whilst table service was provided by a delightful and industrious server, the buffet/bar were so easy access that it probably wasn't nescessary. A great show worth a watch.

Short, I'll blame it on the hurricane

Reviewed by: MichAle

It was a very short trip and we only saw 1 cave and a very small one. The guide was great, however due to the approaching hurricane he said that it was not save going further. I'm not an expert on weather, but the waters/wind did not change for the entire time we were there. If I would've known what it was going to be, I would've prefer they had cancelled the trip and we would have either planned for another day or received our refund.

We didn't have the best start for our manta ray snorkeling - trouble checking in for our flight the day after stressed us a lot, so we were not really in the mood. But despite me getting pretty seasick, being in the water and experiencing these magnificent and majestic fish feeding was an amazing experince. I so much wanna do it again - but next time without being seasick :) Thanks to the crew and captain for being so nice to me

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

Amazing!! 最高!!

Reviewed by: ダルマ

The departure time was changed to 9 AM due to equipment checks. The price remains unchanged, so that’s not an issue.

Aside from us, there was only one couple, so we had the vast ocean all to ourselves. At an altitude of 244 meters, I felt a moment of hesitation, but once I got used to it, it was truly exhilarating! My 9-year-old daughter was also very excited.

All we could see below was the ocean. When I experienced this in Oahu, I saw many people enjoying banana boats and snorkeling, but on the Big Island, it was really just the sea!

I highly recommend it!

機材の確認?とかで、出発が9時に変更になりました。料金も変更なく、その点は特に問題無し。
私たちの他はカップル一組だけで、大海原を独占状態。
高度244メートルの世界、一瞬足がすくみましたが、慣れてくると本当に爽快!!
9歳の娘も大興奮でした。
眼下は海のみ。以前オアフで体験したときは、バナナボートやシュノーケルなどを体験している人たちがたくさん見えましたが、ハワイ島は本当に海だけ!!
おススメです!

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>

Kealakekua Bay is wonderful! The dolphins were a bit aloof... ケアラケクア湾すばらしい!イルカはちょっとそっけなかった・・・

Reviewed by: ○○○

It was very convenient to walk from the hotel to the meeting place, so there was no time loss. However, the meeting place was vague and there were no specific instructions, so I was quite anxious until the guide arrived. Since it was a small group, there were only four of us from our family, along with the pilot, a female guide, and a female guide-in-training.

We boarded the boat and started looking for dolphins, but the dolphins today were not very friendly, and the groups were small. We jumped off the boat several times after spotting them, but we couldn't meet them easily. The pilot suggested several times, "Let's go towards the pier," but the female guide stubbornly refused, saying, "The visibility is poor over there..." Eventually, since we weren't finding any dolphins, we ended up going towards the pier. There were already many tour boats for foreigners there, and there were plenty of dolphins, with everyone chasing them around. The female guide said, "Please don't chase the dolphins for their sake." When we entered the water, the visibility was actually not much different, and there were many dolphins swimming right below us, occasionally coming towards us! I tried to take photos with the underwater camera I purchased for this day, but I was too flustered to get good shots. The dolphins here were also not very friendly, so it didn't feel like we could swim with them, but we did see many dolphins. I thought if we had come here earlier, we could have swum with the dolphins more leisurely, but I also understand that we don't want to stress the dolphins... It was a complicated feeling.

Not wanting to spend too much time, as we would run out of snorkeling time, we reluctantly got back on the boat and headed to Kealakekua Bay while sightseeing the lava cliffs. The visibility here was truly amazing; it was the clearest sea I had ever seen. I was so absorbed in swimming that time flew by. When called back to the boat, they had prepared fruits and warm tea for us. The grapes and pineapple were very delicious. They also gave us potato chips, and we ate while heading back.

Since I participated with my parents in their 60s and my elementary school son, the small group size (which ended up being a private tour) was very helpful. One disappointing thing was that I had requested prescription masks, but they were not prepared (the wetsuits I requested at the same time were properly provided). At the site, I was shown something like a reservation form (which was different from the form I filled out) and was told, "It's not written here." I thought I might have forgotten to input it, but when I checked after returning, it was properly entered. I believe there was a communication issue between the VELTRA system and the local company. My father, who has poor eyesight, had brought prescription goggles just in case, so it worked out, but he looked very disappointed, saying, "I couldn't see well." I don't think the local staff is at fault, so I hope they ensure proper communication.

集合場所までホテルから歩いて行けるため、時間ロスがなくとても便利でした。ただ、集合場所が曖昧で、特に指定もなかったので、ガイドの方が来てくれるまでドキドキでした。少人数制なので、お客は我々家族4人のみ。あとは操縦士の方と、ガイドの女性と、ガイド見習いの女性1人。
ボートに乗り込み、はじめにイルカを探していきますが、今日のイルカたちはあまりフレンドリーではなく、群れも小さく、何度か見つけてボートから飛び降りますが、なかなか会えず。操縦士の方が、「ピアのほうに行こうよ」と何度か提案するのですが、ガイドの女性が「あっちは透明度が悪いから・・・」と頑なに拒否。でもなかなか見つからないので、結局「ピア」のほうへ。そこにはすでにたくさんの外国人向けのツアーボートがいて、イルカもたくさんいて、みんなで追い回しているような感じ。ガイドの女性が「イルカたちのために、追わないであげてください」と。我々も海に入ると、実際には海の透明度は大して変わらず、真下にたくさんのイルカの群れが泳いでいて、たまにこっちに向かってくる!この日のために購入した水中カメラで撮影を試みるも、焦ってうまく撮れず。ここのイルカたちもあまりフレンドリーではなかったので一緒に泳ぐ、という感じではなかったですが、たくさんのイルカには会えました。もっと早くここに来ていたら、もっとゆっくりイルカと泳げたのになあとも思うけど、イルカたちにストレスをかけたくないのもわかるし。。。複雑な気持ちでした。
あまりゆっくりしているとシュノーケルの時間がなくなってしまうので、後ろ髪引かれながら再度ボートに乗りこみ、溶岩の岸壁などを見学しながらケアラケクア湾へ。ここの透明度は本当にすばらしく、こんなにきれいな海は初めてでした。夢中で泳いでいるとあっという間に時間がたっていました。呼ばれてボートにあがると、フルーツと温かいお茶を用意していてくれました。ブドウとパイナップルがとっても美味しかった。ポテトチップスもくれて、食べながら帰りました。
60代の両親、小学生の息子を連れての参加でしたので、少人数制(結果的には貸し切り)でとても助かりました。
一つ残念だったのは、度つきマスクをリクエストしていたのに、用意されていなかったこと(同時にお願いしたウエットスーツはきちんと用意してありました)。現地では予約表のようなものを見せられて(申し込み時のフォームとはちがう形式のもの)「こちらに書いていない」と言われてしまい、私が入力しわすれたのかと思っていましたが、帰ってきて確認すると、きちんと入力されている。VELTRAのシステムから、現地の会社に伝達がうまくいっていないのだと思います。目の悪い父は念のために度つきゴーグルを持参していたのでなんとかなりましたが「あまり見えなかった」ととても残念そうにしていました。
現地の方は悪くないのではないかと思うので、きちんと伝達を徹底してほしいです。

Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review. We provide the following guidance: "After leaving the Sheraton Hotel, proceed with the parking lot on your right and turn left at the brown stone wall sign for 'Sheraton Hotel' (Kaleiopapa Street). Walk towards the ocean, and our Japanese guide will be waiting for you in the grassy area with public restrooms and benches on your immediate right." I apologize if this was unclear. We will work on improving it.

Dolphins are wild animals, so we cannot predict exactly when and where they will be, but it seems there were many at the pier that day. If you had gone there from the start, you would have certainly had more time to swim with the dolphins. I apologize for any disappointment this may have caused. The pier is often crowded, and I believe our guide wanted to ensure that you had a chance to interact with the dolphins in a less crowded area, but unfortunately, that plan did not work out that day.

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of Kealakekua Bay. Thank you for choosing our tour to create family memories with your parents in their 60s and your elementary school son. Our boat accommodates up to six guests, allowing you to experience a tour that feels like a private charter.

I also sincerely apologize for any disappointment caused regarding the prescription mask for your father. We did not receive any communication about this from VELTRA, and after this incident, we discussed it with VELTRA to reconfirm the display of prescription masks in the future.

Please feel free to contact us if you plan to visit the Big Island again. Wishing you and your family continued health and happiness.

○○○様、わざわざお時間を割いてレビューを書いてくださり、誠にありがとうございました。弊社では、「シェラトンホテルの敷地を出て、駐車場を右手に見ながら進行方向左手にある「Sheraton Hotel」の茶色い石壁のサインを左折します(Kaleiopapa Street)。海へ向かって歩き、すぐ右手の公衆トイレやベンチのある芝生エリアで日本語ガイドがお待ちいたしております。」という案内をさせて頂いていますが、分かりにくかったでしょうか。申し訳ありません。改善して参ります。

イルカたちは野生の生き物で飼い馴らされたものではないので、いつどこにいるかは100%分かりませんが、その日はピアに沢山いたようですね。そちらに最初から行っておけば確かにイルカたちと泳ぐ時間はもっとあったことでしょうね。残念な思いをさせてしまい、申し訳ありません。ピアは混んでいることが多いので、ガイドはなるべく混んででいないところで○○○様にイルカと触れ合ってもらいたいと思っていたのだと思いますが、その思惑がその日は上手く行かず、申し訳ありませんでした。

ケアラケクア湾の美しさは満喫してもらえたようで、何よりです。60代のご両親と小学生の息子さんとの家族の思い出に弊社のツアーを選んで頂き、ありがとうございました。弊社のボートはお客様は6人までなので、まるでプライベートチャーターのようなツアーを味わって頂けることが醍醐味となっております。

また度付きマスクの件については、お父様に残念な思いをさせてしまったことを大変申し訳なく思っております。弊社としては、VELTRA様からそのような伝達事項は頂いていなかったもので、この件の後VELTRA様と話し合いをし、今後の度つきマスクの表示について再確認をいたしました。

またハワイ島に来られることがありましたら、ご連絡くださいませ。○○○様のご家族のこれからの益々のご健勝をお祈り申し上げます。

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>

Three and a half hours. たっぷり3時間半

Reviewed by: madai

I stayed at the Courtyard King Kamehameha Hotel. The show takes place at this hotel.

We were supposed to gather at 5:00 PM, but when we arrived, there was a long line in the hallway next to the lobby. I recommend arriving early for check-in, as being late in line can affect your meal time later. If you pay a special fee, you can get seats closer to the front and don’t have to wait as long.

When you line up, they will ask if you want a flower lei or a shell lei. The shell lei is free, while the flower lei comes at a cost. We exchanged shell leis with each other. After that, we exchanged our vouchers for tickets and headed to the venue.

Once we arrived at the venue, soothing Hawaiian music was playing continuously. We waited at our seats until everyone was at their tables. Drinks are self-serve near the entrance. Adults can have beer or mai tais, while children only get red cranberry juice. My 10-year-old child was not allowed to have that. At the same time, there was an introduction to about five traditional games, where you could decorate your face and feet with stamps. Participation in these activities was optional.

Afterward, there was a hula dance lesson, and explanations about traditional dishes, such as meat wrapped in banana leaves and steamed, along with about 30 minutes of free time. Hawaiian music continued to play during this time. About an hour after entering, King Kamehameha finally arrived from the sea.

After that, it was finally time for dinner, but we had to go up to the buffet in order from the front tables. However, we couldn’t go up freely. They called each table, so we had to wait at least 30 minutes after the first table was called. My 10-year-old fell asleep without eating, despite being hungry, as it took a long time for our table to be called.

Desserts, coffee, and tea were available. Just when I thought we could return to our room after finishing our meal, the show finally began. The show featured Hawaiian dances and a fire show, which were quite good, but it took a considerable amount of time to get to the meal and to watch the show. You really need to have a relaxed mindset and plenty of time, or else you might end up feeling exhausted.

The Hawaiian music was very pleasant, and my two sons and husband dozed off, swaying their heads during the crucial part of the show. It ended at 8:30 PM. I think it’s a show more suited for adults. My 10-year-old ultimately didn’t wake up and managed to eat a packed meal of chicken nuggets, fries, white rice, and meat after we returned to the room. It’s a show aimed at older audiences rather than children.

コートヤードキングカメハメハホテルに宿泊してました。ショーはこのホテルで行われます。
17:00集合でしたが、行くとロビー横の廊下に長蛇の列ができてました。
後のことも考えると受付には早くいくことをお勧めします。並ぶのが遅いと、後々食事時間に影響します。
特別料金を払うと前の方の席になり、あまり並ぶ必要もありません。
並ぶと順番に対応してくれますが、花のレイか貝殻のレイか聞かれます。貝殻は無料で花のレイ有料です。お互いに貝殻のレイをかけあいました。
その後バウチャーをチケットにかえ、入場する会場に向かいます。
会場につくとず~っとゆったりとしたハワイアンミュージックが演奏されています。全員がテーブルにつくまで、席に座って待ちます。飲み物は入口の近くに自分でとりにいきます。大人はビールやマイタイが提供され、子どもは赤いクランベリージュースのみです。10歳の子供はそれがダメでした。それと同時に5種類くらいの昔の遊びや顔や足にスタンプのような飾りをつけたりと伝統的な昔の遊びの紹介があります。それに参加するかどうかは自由です。その後フラダンスのレッスンがあつたり、伝統的な料理、バナナの皮に肉を包んで蒸すなどの説明があったり、30分くらいの自由な時間があります。その間もハワイアンミュージックがずっとかかってます。入場して一時間くらい経つとようやく海からカメハメハ大王が陸に上陸してきます。
それが終わるとようやく食事ですが、前方の席から順番によぱれ食事(ビュッフェ)を取りにいきます。でも自由には取りにいけないのです。テーブルごとによばれるので、とにかく最初のテーブルの人たちが呼ばれてからもさいてい30分は待ちました。10歳の子供は、ゆったりとしたミュージックと昼のシュノーケリングでとうとうご飯を食べずに寝てしまいました。お腹がへっているのに、なかなか順番は来ず、自分のテーブルの順番を待ってやっとご飯を食べました。
デザートコーヒー紅茶はあります。
御飯が食べ終わってもう部屋に帰ってもいいんじゃないのと思う頃にようやくショーが始まりました。ショーはハワイアンダンスにファイヤーショーがあったりなかなかよかったですが、とにかく食事にありつくのにも、ショーを見るのにも時間がかなりかかり、心と時間にかなりゆとりをもたないと、逆に疲れてしまいました。
ハワイアンミュージックはとても心地よく、息子二人と旦那もウトウト肝心のショーの時には、
頭が揺れてました。終わりは20:30。大人が参加するショーかなと思います。
10歳の子供は結局起きず、何とかチキンナゲットとポテト、白ご飯とお肉だけをいただいたパックに詰め込んで、部屋に戻ってから食べました。
子どもより年配の方々向けのショーです。

Devon was great, informative, fun, and adventurous. The caves and snorkeling were amazing. The remote location was fantastic, Devon added to the trip with his exciting and friendly personality teaching us about the land formations, the sea, and Hawaiian folklore. A must see, will be booking again next year with Devon for my whole family.

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

I managed to get by even without speaking English. 英語しゃべれなくてもなんとかなりました

Reviewed by: ひまわり

I can hardly speak English, but I decided to join the tour anyway! It was an afternoon tour.

Keauhou Bay felt like a hidden gem and had a bit of a mystical vibe. The water was very clear, and there were plenty of fish, but I felt that the quantity and variety were not much different from Kahalu'u Beach Park. For those who are used to snorkeling, it might feel a bit lacking.

The staff were friendly and kind. Even though I didn't understand the language, I was able to enjoy myself and it became a wonderful memory.

Below, I will outline the flow of the day. For those who also struggle with English, I hope this helps!

------------

First, upon arriving on the Big Island, I had to make a reconfirmation call, which was the biggest hurdle. You can find detailed information about reconfirmation on the VELTRA website.

Since I didn’t have a rental car that day, I walked from the Sheraton Hotel to the meeting point. It took about 5 minutes on foot.

When I handed over the voucher at the reception, there was a quick explanation in English. Looking back, I think they mentioned that the snorkeling masks would be provided before boarding, and the fins would be handed out on the boat.

There was only one other group of Japanese people besides us, which was reassuring.

We had to wait quite a while until the morning tour's boat returned and the preparations were finished. It was hot outside.

After that, the rental of snorkeling masks began. At some point, they gathered people for the SNUBA activity and had them sign a consent form, but I wasn't sure if those were people who had pre-registered or if they were recruiting on the spot. Once the English explanation before boarding was done, we got on the boat.

The view from the second floor of the boat was great, but it seemed tough in the sunny spots. The ride took over 30 minutes.

Along the way, we encountered 4 to 5 dolphins! The people in the front seats seemed to see them well, but since we were in the middle of the second floor, we only caught a glimpse of their fins.

Near the counter on the first floor, there were snacks like water, tropical juice, and a mix of rice crackers and pretzels available for us to take freely. There were also restrooms.

The staff came around to distribute the fins. We had our own, so we didn’t borrow any, but the staff kindly asked us, “Do you have fins?” to check on us.

When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, we could also borrow floaties and other flotation devices, so those who are unsure about swimming can feel safe. The depth was completely beyond our feet.

In addition to snorkeling, we could enjoy diving from the boat and using a slide. I think we had about an hour of free time.

During the return trip, there was a fruit service as a signal to head back to the boat.

I didn’t see anyone giving tips, so I wasn’t sure when to give one. Those who were experienced might have discreetly tipped without others noticing.

That’s all.

I think you can have a great time even if you don’t understand English, as long as you can keep yourself safe! For those who are going soon, enjoy your trip!

英語はほぼしゃべれないのですが思い切って参加しました!午後のツアーです。

ケアウホウ湾は秘境の地という感じがしてちょっと神秘的でした☆
水の透明度が高く魚もたくさんいましたが、カハルウビーチパークと量も種類もそんなに変わりなかったように感じます。慣れてる人だと物足りないかも?

スタッフの方は気さくで親切でした。言葉がわからないなりに楽しめてとても良い思い出になりました。

下記、当日の流れを書きます。同じように英語が苦手な方、よかったら参考にしてください♪

------------

まずハワイ島に到着したらリコンファームという到着確認の電話をしなければならず、これが一番ハードル高かったです。
リコンファームについてはVELTRAさんのサイトに詳しく書いてあります。

当日はレンタカーではなかったのでシェラトンホテルから集合場所まで歩きました。
徒歩5分です。

受付でバウチャーを渡すと英語でさらさらっと説明がありました。
後から考えるとシュノーケルマスクは乗船前、フィンは船で渡しますと言っていたと思います。

日本人は私達以外に1組だけいらっしゃったので心強かったです。

午前のツアーの船が戻って来て船内の準備が終わるまでけっこう待ちました。外なので暑いです。

その後シュノーケルマスクの貸出が始まりました。
途中でスヌーバをやる人を集めて同意書を書かせたりしていたようですが、あらかじめ申し込んでいた人なのかその場で募ったのかなわかりませんでした。
英語による乗船前の説明が済んだら乗り込みです。

船は二階だと見晴らしがいいですが日が当たる場所はキツそうでした。乗船時間は30分以上はあります。

途中でイルカ4~5頭に会いました!前の席の方たちはしっかり見れていたようですが、二階の真ん中の席だった私達は背びれが見れたくらいです。

1階のカウンター付近に水とトロピカルジュース、おかきやプレッツェルが混ざったスナックが置いてあり自由に取りに行く感じでした。トイレもあります。

フィンはスタッフの方が配りに来てくれます。
私達は自分のがあったので借りませんでしたが、スタッフさんが代わる代わる「フィンはある?」と気遣ってくれました。


スポットに着いたら浮き輪や体に巻く浮き具も借りられますので泳ぎが不安な方も安心です。足は全くつかない深さです。

シュノーケル以外にも、船からのダイブや滑り台で楽しむことができます。
自由時間は1時間くらいだったと思います。

終了の合図で船に戻り帰路についている間、フルーツのサービスがありました。


チップは渡している人を見かけなかったためタイミングがわからず渡していません。
慣れている方々は他の人にわからないようにスマートに渡していたのかもしれません。


以上です。

英語がわからなくても自分で安全を守れれば十分楽しめると思います!
これから行かれる方、楽しんできてくださいね♪

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>

You can fully enjoy the Hawaiian mood. ハワイムードが満喫できます

Reviewed by: ひまわり

Everything was in English, but I enjoyed the atmosphere! The sunset sinking behind the palm trees, the cheerful host, Hawaiian music, and the Polynesian show created a full Hawaiian mood!

On the left side of the stage, there is an IMU oven, so if you're interested, sitting closer will give you a better view. However, after the meat is taken out, it does have a bit of a burnt smell.

For drinks, there were Mai Tais, juice, coffee, and tea. There seemed to be other alcoholic options, but I wasn't sure about them. The Mai Tai was a system where you fill a bowl with tropical juice and have the staff add rum. It was delicious even without the rum.

The food included oven-roasted pork, chicken, beef, and various vegetable dishes. It's nice to be able to try a little bit of different Hawaiian dishes. The Kona coffee cake was delicious!

The Polynesian dance wasn't exactly amazing, but since it was performed by locals, the atmosphere was nice, and the location was great, so I enjoyed it.

In the second half, there was a Hawaiian music time for a cheek dance. We just watched, but it was lovely to see an older couple from the West looking into each other's eyes and dancing or embracing.

I recommend this show for fully enjoying the feeling of being in Hawaii!

すべてが英語ですが、雰囲気で楽しめました♪
ヤシの木の後ろに沈んでく夕日、陽気な司会とハワイアンミュージック、ポリネシアンショーとハワイアンムード満点でした!

ステージに向かって左側にIMUオーブンがあるので、興味がある方は近い席の方が前で見られると思います。
ただお肉を取り出した後、まわりがちょっと焦げ臭いです。

飲み物はマイタイ、ジュースとコーヒー紅茶がありました。他のアルコールもあったみたいですが、よくわからなかったです。
マイタイはボウルに入っているトロピカルジュースを自分で入れ、スタッフの方にラムを入れてもらうシステムでした。
ラムなしでも美味しかったです。

食べ物はオーブンで焼いた豚肉の他チキンもビーフもあり、野菜料理も色々とありました。
色々なハワイ料理を少しずつ食べられるのが良いです。
コナコーヒーのケーキが美味しかったです♪

ポリネシアンダンスは正直すごい!というほどではなかったのですが、本場の方なので雰囲気があり、ロケーションもよかったので楽しめました。

後半ハワイアンミュージックでチークダンスタイムがありました。
私達はただ見てましたが、欧米の老夫婦が見つめあって踊ったり抱き合ったりする様子はとても素敵でした☆*。

ハワイに来たー!という気分を満喫するのにおすすめのショーです。

ハワイ島 ハイキング&オフロードドライブ 滝遊びもあり <1日/昼食付/英語ガイド>

The content was wonderful. 内容は素晴らしかった

Reviewed by: RIKA

This time, we had made a reservation for a family of four, but only one reservation was found. Since it wasn't specified whether the meeting place was the lower lobby or the main lobby, I asked the person at the tour desk, and that’s how I found out. I wonder what would have happened if I hadn’t checked in advance. It was a bit surprising. The optional content was good, so it's a shame. However, I do think that people who are proficient in English will enjoy it more.

今回、四人家族で予約していたのですが、1人分しか予約が入っていませんでした。
待ち合わせ場所がロウアーロビーかメインロビーか書いてなかったので、今回のツアーのデスクの人に聞いてもらったところ、それが判明しました。
事前に確認しなかったらどうなっていたか。
ちょっとびっくりです。
オプショナルの内容は良かったので残念です。
ただ、やはり英語が堪能な人の方がより楽しめると思います。

Oceanfront Royal Kona Resort Luau Voyagers of the Pacific Show - Dinner, Drinks & Fire Knife Dance

Voyagers of the Pacific Luau Review

Reviewed by: Family traveler

We originally arrived on a Friday to see the show, but shortly after we started the meal,we were completely rained out. That was very disappointing and upsetting that we weren't forewarned by email about the strong possibility of rain, as we had come over from Hilo for the luau. However, we received a rain check for another luau on the following Monday. Fortunately, we were able to rearrange our schedule to come before flying home. The Monday night luau was lovely - entertainment and emcee were fantastic all around. Food was good, not great. Service was okay. Location was beautiful.
