ホエールウォッチングクルーズ <12~3月/午前/軽食付き/ワイコロアまたはカワイハエ港発>

It was fun. 楽しかったです。

Reviewed by: イルカもかわいい

The boat was comfortable. Although we didn't see any whales, I think they did their best to find them. The crew also took pictures with us and worked hard to make the cruise enjoyable. In the end, we stopped at a point where we could see dolphins, and we were able to cruise alongside many dolphins. We didn't see any whales, but it was a satisfying tour.

船上は快適でした。
クジラには会えませんでしたが、頑張って探してくれていたと思います。
クルーの方も、一緒に写真を撮ってくれたり、クルーズ自体を楽しませようと頑張ってくれました。
最後はイルカに会えるポイントに寄ってくれて、たくさんのイルカと並んでクルーズできました。クジラは見れませんでしたが、満足できるツアーでした。

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>

You can interact with dolphins. イルカと触れ合えます

Reviewed by: はるママ

It was an activity within the hotel where we stayed, so transportation was easy. I was reminded of the dolphins' intelligence when interacting with them. Time seemed to fly by, and while I felt the price was high, the kids were happy, so it was worth it.

There was a pricing structure, and we signed up for the higher option, but I couldn't really tell the difference from what others were experiencing.

宿泊したホテル内でのアクティビティでしたので、移動は楽でした。イルカに接して賢さを改めて感じました。あっと言う間に時間が過ぎた感じがして、お値段的には高いと感じましたが、子供達が喜んでいたので、よかったです。
料金設定があり、うちは高いので申し込みましたが、周りの人との違いはよくわかりませんでした。

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>

My first dolphin swim was amazing! 人生初のドルフィンスイム最高でした!

Reviewed by: カノープス

This time, I participated with my 12-year-old son, and we were the only two on the tour. Although my son couldn't swim, they provided us with a float (noodle), so we could enjoy the activities with peace of mind. They arranged a large boat just for us, and the female captain was very kind! She told us where the dolphins were and changed the points so we could swim with them. It was incredibly moving to see the dolphins up close and swim with them. Most importantly, we could hear the dolphins communicating (echolocation) underwater. According to the captain, the secret lies in the boat's engine (it's quiet, so the dolphins don't escape).

After the dolphin swim, we had a plan to enjoy snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, but on the way to the snorkeling point, they stopped the boat and guided us to a lava tube, making it a very satisfying tour! Above all, the time spent on the boat was very pleasant and enjoyable, and the view of the Big Island from the ocean was exceptional. The fruit we had on the boat after snorkeling was also chilled and delicious. The captain's hospitality was wonderful, and I’m really glad I participated in this tour, which allowed us to fully enjoy the nature of the Big Island. It was a valuable and wonderful experience for my child as well. Thank you very much!

今回は12歳の息子と参加し、ツアーは私たち母子の2人だけでした。
息子は泳げませんでしたが、浮き輪(ヌードル)を貸してくれるので、安心してそれぞれがアクティビティーを楽しむことができました。
大きなボートを私たちだけのために出してくれて、女性の船長さんはとても親切でした!
イルカがどこに居るか教えてくれたり、イルカと一緒に泳げるようにポイントを変えてくれたり。
イルカが間近で見られ、一緒に泳げてとても感動しました。そして、何よりもイルカ同士のコミュニケーション(=エコロケーション)を海中で聞くことができたことです。
船長さん曰く、ボートのエンジンに秘密があるとか(静かでイルカが逃げない)。
ドルフィンスイムの後はクアラケアベイでシュノーケリングを楽しむプランでしたが、シュノーケリングポイントに行くまでの道中、ボートを止めて、ラバチューブを案内してくれたりと、とても満足するツアーでした!
何より、ボートに乗っている間の時間がとても心地よく楽しくて、沖から見るハワイ島は格別でした。
シュノーケリングの後、ボートで頂くフルーツも冷えていて美味しかったです。
船長さんのホスピタリティーも素晴らしく、ハワイ島の自然を満喫出来たこのツアーに参加して本当によかったです。
子どもにとっても貴重な素晴らしい体験となりました。
ありがとうございました!

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>

A relaxing half day on the boat. まったりの船上半日

Reviewed by: ハワイカイ

I participated alone, and when I looked around, I was the only Japanese person there. I boarded the boat thinking it was a sightseeing cruise, and the view from the ship, including Kailua and the mountain ridges in the background, was incredibly beautiful. The boat went all the way to the cape in search of dolphins in Kailua Bay, then made a U-turn while the captain diligently searched for dolphins. It was worth it, as suddenly 6 to 10 dolphins appeared and swam around the boat for a few minutes. I was very excited to see wild dolphins up close. It took about 30 minutes to reach the snorkeling point, where we had about 2 hours for snorkeling and lunch. After that, we cruised around Kailua Bay in search of dolphins. I can't speak English, but the crew was very kind and friendly, providing explanations in Japanese.

一人で参加しました、周りを見ると日本人は私一人でした、私は観光船のつもりで乗船しましたので船上からの景色、カイルワ、その後方の山稜線はとっても美しい景色でした、船はイルカを求めてカイルワ湾を?岬の先まで行きUターンをして蛇行しながら船長が一生懸命イルカを探していましたそのかいがあり、突然イルカ6~10頭現れ船の周りを数分遊泳していました、野生のイルカを間近で見れ大変興奮しました、シュノーケルポイントまでは30分程度、ポイントでは2時間程度のシュノーケルと昼食の時間が有りました、その後カイルワ湾をイルカを求めてのクルージングでした、私は英語は話せませんが乗組員が大変親切(日本語の説明書で解説等)フレンドリーでした。

Kealakekua Bay Guided Kayak & Captain Cook Snorkel Tour - Adventures In Paradise

Excellent snorkeling plus a kayak paddle

Reviewed by: Elaine

The trip starts early so you can be the first on the water and the first to snorkel before the crowds show up. The paddle over to the Cook Monument was easy. We stopped for a history and a geology lesson which were interesting. Once the Kayaks were landed we walked to the Monument where we donned our snorkel gear and jumped into the water. Everywhere on the Big Island is difficult to enter the water. This was just an easy jump.

The fish were a wide variety with lots of groups of yellow butterfly fish. They come here for the waters which are a mix of fresh from the lad and salt water. The blurry effect of the waters mixing is fun. This place lets the fish clean themselves of irritants. The coral was fine but some was quite damaged.

The park only allows a limited number of snorkelers at this location. They should dial the numbers back as it became crowded quickly when five boats showed up about fifteen minutes after our snorkel started.

The paddle back was easy and it was still morning.

The instructors were very kind, and the atmosphere was relaxed, making it enjoyable. There were few Japanese participants, and the event was primarily in English, but that was fun in its own way. The height of the zip line added to the grandeur of the experience, and I had a great time. I highly recommend it.

Hawaii Lifeguard Surf Instructors - Kona Private & Semi-Private Surfing Lessons

Group lesson

Reviewed by: Lvklysnatour

The kids had fun. However, next day they wanted to try on their own and could not time the waves. I would add a focus on teaching the kids when to start peddling. But average it was good for the first timers.

Reply from activity provider

Aloha All,
Thank you for the review, glad to hear the kids had fun. And happy to hear the kids wanted to try on their own. Learning how to read the ocean and time the waves for most takes years of experience in the ocean. We tell novice surfers who are serious about learning how to surf and become avid surfers, do not get discouraged- keep at it. It takes time to develop the skills to read and feel the ocean and develop the instincts to really hone in on. But keep at it, that's what our Hawaiian lifeguards and avid watermen are there to provide for everyone and we appreciate you all joining us! We are born and raised in the islands and live and breathe the amidst the ocean to share that experience with as many people as we can- it is not something you can learn rapidly- but we encourage surfers to keep at it and remember you will progress with the more time you put into it.

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 want to ride again! また乗りたい!

Reviewed by: otan123

I rode in a helicopter for the first time. The day before, when I arrived at Hilo Airport, I went to Lobby 2 to reconfirm my reservation and check in, where I was able to complete part of the check-in process, including a weight measurement. On the day of the flight, after about ten minutes of instruction, we headed to the helipad. The staff were polite and efficient. I thought I might get motion sickness, but the pilot was skilled, and it was very comfortable. It was indeed cold up in the air, and combined with the wind, there was a bit of light rain, so a jacket is essential. However, I was amazed to see the heat from the crater and the gently undulating red lava, wondering how easily one can feel nature like this! The English instructions were clear and explained point by point, and since we all wore headsets, we could chat together. I think it’s great that if you experience it as a group, those who understood can share in Japanese. At first, I was nervous in many ways, but I felt like I could experience the nature of the Big Island of Hawaii, seeing Hilo city from above and confirming the traces of lava flows from various eras all at once, which you can't feel from the ground.

初めてヘリコプターに乗りました。前日、ヒロ空港に着くと同時に、予約の再確認とチェックイン場所確認でロビー2に行きましたが、そこで体重測定等一部チェックインできました。当日は10分ぐらいのインストラクションの後、ヘリポートへ。スタッフも丁寧で、手際が良かったです。乗り物酔いするかと思いましたが、操縦が上手なのかとても快適でした。上空はやはり寒く、風と相まって小雨も混じってきたので、上着は必須です。しかし、火口の熱気や、タプタプ波打つ赤いlavaが見られて、こんなに簡単に自然を感じられるものか!?と感動しました。英語は丁寧にポイントごとに説明してくれて、ヘッドセットをつけていて全員でおしゃべりできるので、グループで体験すれば意味わかった人が日本語で話すことでみんなで共有出来て良いと思います。最初はいろんな意味で緊張しましたが、ヒロの街を一望出来て、いろいろな年代の溶岩の流れた跡を一目で確認できて、地上からは感じられないハワイ島の自然を体感できたような気がします。

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>

I was able to see a manta ray up close! マンタを間近で見られた!

Reviewed by: しゅがー

I read the reviews here and made a reservation.

I stayed at the Sheraton Hotel. Around noon, I stopped by a shopping center just a 5-minute drive away and checked in at the store. When I arrived at the designated location at 5:45 PM, I was explained in English that I should ask about the car that was parked there. Honestly, I didn't understand what they were saying, but I somehow got the gist through gestures.

When I arrived at the designated spot around 5:30 PM with the rental car, the same car was parked there, and they were handing out wetsuits in the parking lot. You try it on right away, and if it doesn’t fit, you can exchange it. So, you need to wear your swimsuit before going. The parking lot at the harbor is small, so we barely managed to park, but those who couldn't park had to leave their cars at the edge of the road.

I was told to put on the wetsuit and wait on the boat. On the boat, you can have snacks and fruits, but honestly, while waiting for the sun to set, I felt seasick from the waves and couldn't enjoy it. They also serve cold juice if you ask. There was a restroom on the boat. I was told that warm drinks would be served last because it gets cold after you warm up and then enter the water.

To enter the water, I was instructed to hook a noodle (a float) around my ankle and enter horizontally. I only understood a little English, but by watching gestures and other guests, I managed to figure it out. We were the only Japanese people there.

When we finally turned on the lights and entered the sea, a manta ray swam right past me the moment I got in. You’re not supposed to touch the manta rays, but they were gracefully swimming close by, feeding on the surface. I was truly amazed to see them up close. In total, about five manta rays swam nearby. While I was watching one manta ray on my right, I almost collided with another one that approached from the left without me noticing. Watching the manta rays swim elegantly in front of me made me forget about my seasickness.

I was in the water for about 45 minutes, and I only missed seeing manta rays for about 5 minutes. However, it was late March, and it was incredibly cold; my hands were numb during the last 10 minutes. Just floating in the water made the cold and seasickness tough to handle. I was wearing a wetsuit over my rash guard and swimsuit leggings, so I only felt cold towards the end, but my husband was just in a swimsuit and a short-sleeved wetsuit, and he seemed to be shivering uncontrollably after just 10 minutes.

When the time was up, we got back on the boat and had some snacks and warm drinks. They served cocoa, but since I was feeling very seasick, I opted for warm green tea. Once I dried off on the boat, I felt much warmer and better. We returned the snorkels and wetsuits on the boat, and when we arrived at the harbor, we just dispersed.

I think if you come to the Big Island, you absolutely should go on this tour. I believe it’s fine even if you don’t speak English, but for those who are anxious, a Japanese tour might be more reassuring. We thought since we came all the way to Hawaii, we should sign up for this tour, and I’m glad we did.

As advice, it would be great to have a waterproof camera and an underwater flashlight.

ここで口コミを見て、予約しました。

シェラトンホテルに泊まっていました。そこから車で5分のショッピングセンターに寄ったお昼ごろに、お店に立ち寄りチェックインをしました。夕方5:45に指定の場所に来たら、この車が止まっているからたずねてね、というようなことを英語で説明されました。正直、何を話しているかわからなかったですが、何となく身振り手振りで伝わりました。

レンタカーで、指定の場所に5:30ごろに行くと、先ほどの車が止まっていて、ウェットスーツの貸し出しを駐車場で行っていました。すぐに着てみて、無理そうだったらサイズ交換といった感じですので、水着は着用してから行く必要があります。港の駐車場は狭いので、私たちはぎりぎり駐車できましたが、駐車できなかった人は、路上の端に駐車していました。

ウェットスーツを着て、船上で待つように言われました。船上では、スナック菓子やフルーツが食べられますが、正直、日が沈むまで待つ時間、波に揺られ酔ってしまい、それどころではありませんでした。つめたいジュースなども頼めば出してくれます。トイレも船の中にありました。
暖かい飲み物は、身体が温まってから水に入ると寒いから、最後に出されるといった説明がありました。
入り方は、ヌードルと言われるウキを足首にひっかけて、身体を水平にして入るようにと言われました。何となくしか英語がわかりませんでしたが、身振り手振りや、他のお客さんを見ているとわかります。日本人は私たちだけでした。

いざ、ライトをつけて海に入りました。入った瞬間から、目の前をマンタが通り過ぎました。マンタにさわってはいけませんが、本当にすれすれのところをくるくるとまわって餌を食べていました。こんなに間近で見られるなんて、本当に感動しました。
結局5匹ほどのマンタが近くで泳いでいました。右で泳いでいるマンタを見ていると、左から迫ってきたマンタに気づかず、思わずぶつかりそうになりました。目の前で優雅に泳ぐマンタたちを見ていると、船酔いも忘れてしまいました。
45分ほど入水していますが、マンタが見られなかった時間は5分ほどだけでした。ただ、3月下旬でしたが、ものすごく寒くて、最後の10分ほどは手がかじかんで、感覚がなくなっていました。
浮いているだけなので、寒さと船酔いはつらかったです。
ただ、私はラッシュガードと水着のレギンスの上からウェットスーツを着ていたからか、最後のほうだけ寒さがつらかったですが、旦那は水着にウェットスーツ(全て半そで半ズボン丈)だけだったので開始10分後から震えが止まらないようでした。

時間が来たので船に上がり、スナック菓子や暖かい飲み物をいただきました。ココアが配られましたが、私は船酔いがひどかったので暖かい緑茶をいただきました。船上で体を乾かすと、だいぶ温まり気分がよくなりました。船上でシュノーケルとウェットスーツを返し、港についたら、そのまま流れ解散です。

ハワイ島に来たら、絶対にこのツアーに行くべきだと思いました。英語ができなくても、問題ないと思いますが、不安な方は日本語のツアーの方が安心かなと思いました。わたしたちはせっかくハワイに来たのだから、と思いこのツアーに申し込みました。ここにしてよかったと思います。

アドバイスとしては、水の中でとれるカメラと水中の懐中電灯があるといいです。

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>

Perfect for first-time children. 初めての子供たちには最適

Reviewed by: けんけん

Since we were in Hawaii, I decided to let my middle school son and college daughter take their first surfing lesson. We went to the registration office, which was very close to our hotel, received some basic instructions, borrowed rash guards and sea socks, and then headed to the beach as directed. It was a group lesson, but there were no other participants besides my kids, so it turned into a private lesson. We spent about an hour in the water getting instruction, and the waves were just right for beginners. It was a perfect amount of time that left the kids feeling pleasantly tired, and we all enjoyed it just enough.

せっかくのハワイなので、中学生の息子と大学生の娘に初めてサーフィンレッスンを受けさせてみました。ホテルからすぐ近くの受付所に行き、簡単な指導を受け、ラッシュガードとシーソックスをかり、案内された通り自分で現地に向かいました。グループレッスンでしたが、自分の子供たち以外に参加者がおらず、実質のプライベートレッスンとなりました。海に出て1時間位指導してもらいましたが、初心者にちょうど良い波で、かつちょうど疲れるくらいで終了し、参加した子供たちも見ている我々も、ほどいい感じで楽しめました。

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

The height indication in the title is a lie. タイトルの高さ表記は嘘

Reviewed by: RS6

The height mentioned in the title is misleading; it refers to the length of the pulling rope. The actual height is at most 30 to 40 meters, so if you go expecting over 100 meters, you will likely be disappointed. I didn't feel the sense of speed I was anticipating; it felt more like being suspended in the air.

タイトルに記載されている高さは嘘で、引っ張るロープの長さのことでした。
高さはせいぜい30〜40mなので、100m以上の高さを期待して行くとガッカリすると思う。
予想していたよりスピード感を感じる事は無く、空中で吊られている感じです。

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

The wind feels really nice. 風がすごく気持ちよい

Reviewed by: マウイ

The rain was heavy until the day before, so I was wondering how it would turn out, but the slightly strong wind actually turned out to be a good thing. The view from above, the deep blue sea, and the pleasant breeze were all amazing. I would love to take on the challenge again if I get the chance next time.

前日まで雨が強く、当日はどうなるかと思いましたが、風が少し強いのが逆に良かったです。
上空からの景色、真っ青な海、風の気持ちよさ、最高でした。
次回も、チャンスがあればチャレンジしたいです。

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

Because of the rain... 雨のせいで、、、

Reviewed by: トムトム

My 9:30 reservation was canceled due to a flight cancellation, and when I changed it to 10:30, that flight was also canceled... I was asked if it was okay to change to 14:30, but I could only go on a short course, so I reluctantly said yes! The flight wasn't as scary as I thought, which was good, but... they circled around to show us the red spots of the volcano, and I got motion sickness (T ^ T). The seat behind me had no door, so it was windy and cold... It really depends on the weather...

9:30の予約がフライトキャンセル、
10:30に変更もフライトキャンセル、、、
14:30に変更でショートのコースしか行けないがいいか?と聞かれ、しょーがなくイエス!
フライトは思ったよりは怖くなくて良かったが、、、火山の赤いところを見せてくれる為にぐるぐる回ってくれたのが酔った(T ^ T)
後ろの席がドア無し選択してたので風ビュービューで寒いし、、、
天気次第ですね、、、

ハワイ島 乗馬ツアー コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬! <午前・午後/英語ガイド>by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

A must-try experience. 一度は体験するべき

Reviewed by: KI・RA・TO

We signed up for a one-and-a-half-hour plan for beginners as a family. We drove to the ranch with a rental car. The sign is simple and easy to overlook. Since it's a one-way road, it’s difficult to make a U-turn if you miss it. In March, it was a bit chilly, and the weather was partly cloudy. When we mentioned our reservation name, they provided us with helmets, jumpers, and a waist pouch for valuables (free of charge). After a brief lesson on how to use the reins, we set off immediately under the guidance of the instructor. The highlands offered a refreshing feeling with a 360-degree view. If the weather had been good, we might have been able to see the ocean, but unfortunately, it was cloudy and obscured. The horses were calm and moved slowly while grazing along the way, so I think even beginners can participate with confidence. While Kualoa Ranch on Oahu is nice, the spacious grasslands are unique to the Big Island.

午前中の1時間半のプランで、初心者ばかりの家族で申し込みしました。牧場まではレンタカーで向かいました。目印の看板はシンプルで見落としがちです。一本道なので通り過ぎるとUターンが難しいです。3月は少し肌寒く、天気は薄曇りでした。予約している名前を告げると、ヘルメットとジャンパーと貴重品を入れるウエストポーチを貸してくださり(無料)、簡単な手綱の使い方を教わると、インストラクターのお姉さんの引率で即出発です。360度見渡す限り高原で、清々しい気持ちになります。天気が良いと海まで見られたかもしれませんが、あいにくの曇り空で霞んでいて見えませんでした。馬は大人しく、途中草を食べながらゆっくり進みますので、初心者の方でも安心して参加できると思います。オアフ島のクアロアランチも良いですが、広々とした草原はハワイ島ならではないでしょうか。

キャプテン・クック号 サンセット・ディナークルーズ <夕食・カクテル1杯付き/カイルアピア発>

There are two Japanese people. 日本人は二人

Reviewed by: ミクちゃんパパ

It wasn't very large, but since it was a catamaran, there was little rocking. A woman was talking about the history of Hawaii, but I could hardly understand... The meal was a buffet with chicken, pork, beef, salads, Thai fried rice, potatoes, etc. It was enjoyable because I could choose both the variety and the amount myself.

大きくはないが双胴船でしたので揺れは少なかったです。
ハワイの歴史を女性が話してくれてましたが・・・
ほぼ分からず・・食事はバイキング形式でチキン、ポーク、ビーフ
の肉類とサラダ、タイ米のチャーハンポテトetc.
種類も量も自分で選べるので楽でした。

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>

Rough waves... 荒波。。。

Reviewed by: 祖父祖母一緒で計7名参加

Unfortunately, the height of the waves affected our entire family, and even the motion sickness medication barely worked, so we spent most of the time lying down. We were able to see dolphins and managed to experience snorkeling, but the intense rocking created some memorable moments in a way, haha. This time we traveled in late February, but next time, if the weather is milder, I would like to participate again.

あいにくの波の高さに家族総出でやられてしまいまして、酔い止めすらほぼ効かず、ほぼ横になっている状態で終始過ごしました。
イルカも見ることが出来ましたし、シュノーケルもなんとか経験出来ましたが、あまりの揺れのためにある意味いい思い出が刻み込まれましたw
ただ今回は2月下旬の渡航でしたが、次回は気候の穏やかな時期であれば再度参加したいと、思います。
