3-Hour Spirit of Aloha Kohala Coast Morning Snorkel Tour with Lunch & Drinks - Hawaii Nautical

It was OK -- crowded

Reviewed by: Scuba Steve Sr.

I've been on many catamaran snorkel trips on different Hawaiian islands over the years, this one was just OK compared to the others. The things that brought the experience down a bit for my family were the number of people on the boat, it was very crowded, the way food was handled (you're paying handsomely for some chips and a pretty bland sandwich -- they ask you what you want when you sign up for the boat but on the boat it's a free-for-all, so you might end up with something you didn't want or pay for), and lastly (and again) the number of people on the boat. The first 15 minutes of snorkeling was just spent trying to get away from everyone else so you didn't get kicked in the face or torpedoed by some mid-westerner trying to play aquaman by diving under the water and surfacing right into your abdomen. So yeah, it was OK -- wouldn't do it again for the price though.

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

It was so much fun! とにかく楽しかったです！

Reviewed by: まーさん

We participated as a family of three, including our third-grade daughter. Since we were staying in the Waikoloa area, we drove to the meeting point in a rental car. It was quite a distance (about 40 to 50 minutes), but we enjoyed the drive. Along the way, we spotted some wild goats, which delighted our child.

The boat was quite rocky, but it seemed that no one was seasick. However, for those who are worried about seasickness, I recommend taking some medication beforehand. There were only two other Japanese families besides us among the participants, with the rest being Korean and Westerners. The staff only spoke English, but they provided a written notice in Japanese, so as long as you can speak a little English, it shouldn't be a problem.

The boat had two slides, which our daughter was really looking forward to, but we were surprised when we arrived! The slide's starting point was on the second floor of the boat, and the end of the slide was about three meters above the water surface, so it felt like you were almost falling into the sea. I was too scared to try it myself.

You can also dive or jump off the boat, which can be done from both the second and first floors. Snorkels and fins are available for rent, as well as life jackets or something like floaties. Since it was our daughter's first time snorkeling, she initially borrowed a bodyboard with a bottom window. As she got used to the water, she expressed a desire to try snorkeling on her own, so we rented a tube float, a child-sized snorkel, and fins, and enjoyed snorkeling together.

There was also a small child, about two years old, enjoying the sea on a board, so I think people of a wide range of ages can enjoy this activity. On the way back, snacks were provided. The snacks included taro chips and cut pineapple, and drinks included water, but for those who wanted, soft drinks could be purchased for one dollar, and alcoholic drinks were also available for a price I can't remember.

小3娘と夫婦の家族３人で参加しました。
私たちはワイコロアエリアに宿泊していたので、集合場所まではレンタカーで向かいました。
集合場所まではかなりの距離（40〜50分ほど）がありましたが、それもドライブと思い楽しみました。途中、野生のヤギを見かけたりして、子供は喜んでいました。
船は結構揺れますが、船酔いしている人はいなかった様です。ただ、船酔いが心配な方は酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいと思います。
参加者は日本人は私たちの他に２組ほど。あとは、韓国系の方や欧米系の方々でした。スタッフは英語しか通じません。でも、日本語で書かれた注意書きを貸してくれるので、専門的な英語は分からなくても多少の英語が話せれば問題ないです。
２台のすべり台が付いている船ということで、娘はとても楽しみにしていましたが、着いてびっくり！なんと、船の２階部分がすべり台の乗り場になっていて、すべり台の終わりがなんと海面からおよそ３メートルほども上なので、ほぼ海面に落ちるという感じです。
さすがに、怖くて私もできませんでした。
あとは、船からダイブというかジャンプしたりもできます。これは、船の２階からでもできるし、１階からもできます。
シュノーケルとフィンは貸し出してくれます。ライフジャケットか浮き輪のようなものも貸してくれます。娘は初めてのシュノーケルだったので、はじめは底窓付きのボディーボードのようなものを借りました。海に慣れてくると、自分でもシュノーケルをやってみたいと言い出したので、チューブ浮き輪と子供用シュノーケルとフィンを借りて、一緒にシュノーケルを楽しみました。
２歳くらいの小さな子もボードで海を楽しんでいましたので、幅広い年齢の方が楽しめると思います。
帰りにスナックが出されます。スナックはタロ芋チップスとカットパイナップル、飲み物は水が含まれますが、希望者は１ドルでソフトドリンク、値段は忘れましたがアルコールドリンクも買えます。

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

Unforgettable, amazing memories. 忘れることのない最高の思い出

Reviewed by: coco

I participated with my 12-year-old son and my 89-year-old mother. The guide spoke entirely in English, and we were the only Asian participants, but everyone was very kind and the captain and crew provided the best hospitality. The views from the boat, the activities, the food, and the service were all wonderful.

During the activities at Kealakekua Bay, we encountered a variety of beautiful fish while snorkeling in the clear water, and we were lucky enough to see a pod of about ten dolphins swimming very close to the boat. There were slides and jumping platforms from the catamaran, allowing both children and adults to have a great time. My son, who had been afraid of going into the deep sea, ended up wanting to try jumping in, showing how he grew stronger under the charm of the beautiful bay.

We only needed to bring towels, as all the equipment like eco-friendly sunscreen, snorkels, fins, and flotation devices were provided.

As for my elderly mother, I believe it was thanks to the large Fair Wind boat that the ride was gentle, allowing her to sit comfortably throughout. During snorkeling, she was able to use a float to stay in the water, with the help of a very kind female crew member who watched over her the whole time.

Throughout the tour, it was clear that all the crew prioritized passenger safety and the protection of the beautiful nature, creating a tour with the best entertainment. There are various similar tours available, but I’m really glad we chose this one. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Big Island, and we look forward to participating again in the future. Thank you very much for this precious and enjoyable opportunity.

12歳の息子、89歳の母と参加させて頂きました。
ガイドは全て英語で、アジア系の参加者は私たちまけでしたが、とても親切に対応下さり、船長さん、クルーの誰もが最高のホスピタリティでもてなして下さいました。船上からの景色、アクティビティ、お料理、おもてなしなど、どれもが素晴らしかったです。

ケアラケクア湾でのアクティビティでは、美しい透き通った水の中、シュノーケルで多種多様なお魚に出会ったほか、10頭ほどのイルカの群が船のすぐ近くまで泳ぎに来たのに遭遇する事ができました。カタマランから水面へ飛び込む滑り台や、ジャンプ台など、子どもも大人も目一杯楽しむことができます。深い海に行く事を怖がっていた息子も、最後はジャンプに挑戦したくなったと、自然と美しい湾の魅力のもとで強くなった様でした。
持ち物はタオルのみでしたが、サンゴなどの海洋環境に優しい日焼け止めやシュノーケル、フィン、浮き具などの道具は全て貸して頂けました。

もっとも心配していた高齢母については、大きなフェアウィンド号ならではと思いますが、揺れは穏やかで終始座って過ごすことができ、またシュノーケリング時には浮き輪を使用して水に腰をつけさせて頂くことができました。これには、大変親切な女性クルーが手伝い、ずっと見守ってくださいました。

ツアー全体を通して、全てのクルーが、乗客の安全と美しい自然の保護をもっとも大切に、最高のエンターテイメントとともにツアーを作って下さっていることが伝わって来ました。
様々な同様のツアーがございますが、こちらのツアーに参加することができて本当に良かったです。
ハワイ島を訪れる方には、是非おすすめしたいツアー、私たちもまた参加できる時を楽しみにしております。
この度は、とても貴重な楽しい機会を誠にありがとうございました。

I felt there were many Polynesian dances. There were fewer hula performances, but the fire show was impressive. The food was very delicious. However, the location was hard to find. Even the staff at the Orchid didn't seem to know much about it. I think I should have asked the doorman at the front entrance from the beginning.

I arrived on time, but there was not much guidance, and I didn't know what to do. I was flustered and confused about the drinks as well. It's understandable that Japanese isn't spoken, but the staff didn't have any smiles either. After it started to rain, there was no guidance, so I returned to my room.
I think the meal was Hawaiian cuisine, but the taste was just okay. I was a bit disappointed.

時間通りに行きましたが、案内があまりなくどうしていいかもわからず、ドリンクも何も分からずあたふたしました。日本語が通じないのは仕方ないけどスタッフも笑顔もないし。雨が降り始めてからの案内もなく部屋に戻りました。
食事もハワイ料理だと思いますが、味もいまいち。少しガッカリでした。

Reviewed by: Carol Kromer

This was my second time doing this and it was amazing both times! This time I took my 3-year-old grandson. He was excited up until it was time to get in the water. He started crying and wanting mommy and though she was there she wasn’t planning to get in the pool (I hadn’t paid for her). Anyways, the trainer saw how upset he was and asked him if he wanted to hear the dolphin fart. He stopped crying and watched as she proceeded to make the dolphin make a fart sound. She then offered to let him do it and he did which made him laugh. He then decided the dolphin was pretty cool and ended up petting her and feeding her too. It was so fun spending that time with him and I can’t wait to do it again when my granddaughter is old enough.

Reviewed by: ここぱ

It feels like you can enjoy your meal while watching. The variety and amount of food and drinks are just right. With Alii Seat, you get priority entry and can grab the buffet first, and the staff at your table quickly ask for your drink orders and bring them to you. The show isn't flashy, but you can enjoy it casually while eating and drinking. If you don't understand English, you'll just have to enjoy the atmosphere.

食べながら見るという感じですが食べ物、飲み物の種類と量もちょうど良い感じです。
Alii Seatだと優先的に入れてブッフェも先に取れるし飲み物もテーブル担当の方が直ぐに聞いて持って来てくれます。
ショーは派手さはないですけど飲み食いしながら気楽に楽しめる感じです。
英語がわからなければ雰囲気で楽しむしかないですけど。
