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>

Maybe it was a bit early for a 5-year-old. 5歳の子には早かったかな

Reviewed by: ScarlettO'Hara

One instructor is assigned to every six people, allowing for interaction with the dolphins. I have participated in a dolphin interaction event at Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise, but this experience was so much more substantial and satisfying that it’s not even comparable.

We were able to touch the dolphins, observe them swimming up close, and even make them jump. The hour flew by in no time. Unfortunately, my 5-year-old grandchild was scared and couldn't put their face in the water while wearing a mask. I wish we had gotten them more accustomed to the water beforehand.

6人に1人のインストラクターが着いてイルカと触れ合います。
八景島シーパラダイスでもイルカとの触れ合いイベントに参加したことが有りますが、内容は比較にならない程ボリューム満点で大満足です。

触れたり、泳いでいる様子を顔を付けて見たり、ジャンプさせたり、あっという間の1時間でした。
残念なのは、5歳の孫がマスクを着けて顔を水に浸けられず、怖がってしまった事。水にもう少し鳴らしておけばよかった。

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>

The show itself was short, but the surrounding scenery and atmosphere were nice. ショー自体は短いが、周りの景色や雰囲気は良かった

Reviewed by: yuma

It was an interactive show, so the performance itself was short, but I enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was fairly good as well. They made the drink I wanted (highball) when I asked for it. There weren't any noisy customers. I was staying at the Kamehameha, but I was glad I walked over here to experience a closer ocean vibe. Also, I arrived just in time and, although I had to wait a little, I was able to secure a seat relatively close to the stage.

参加型のショーなので、鑑賞するショー自体は短いですが、
雰囲気は楽しめました。ご飯もまぁまぁおいしかったです。
お酒も欲しいもの(ハイボール)を言えば作ってくれました。
お客さんも騒がしい人たちはいませんでした。
カメハメハに滞在していましたが、
より海に近い雰囲気を味わいたかったので、こちらまで歩いてきて良かったです。
また、時間ぎりぎりに行き、少し並んだものの、割と舞台に近い席は確保できました。

ケアウホウ湾シーカヤック&シュノーケルツアー 海中洞窟探検プランあり <早朝・午前/日本語ガイド>by キング・カヤック・ハワイ

I was disappointed by the lack of explanation. 説明不足でがっかりしました

Reviewed by: yuma

I participated in the afternoon tour, but it ended up being just kayaking around Keauhou Bay and snorkeling only within the bay, leaving us with quite a bit of extra time. There was no explanation provided on-site, so when I returned to Japan, I inquired about why we didn't go to Keauhou Bay. I understand the reason related to the weather (it was indeed quite choppy and cold), but I found it a bit questionable to mention our physical fitness and kayaking skills as issues. Do they change the route if there are beginners? At the very least, if there had been some explanation on-site, I would have felt a bit more satisfied, but I was a little disappointed this time.

午後ツアーに参加しましたが、
ケアウホウ湾付近のカヤックと、
ケアウホウ湾内だけのシュノーケルで終わってしまい、
時間が大分余ってしまいました。
現地では何の説明も無いまま終わってしまったので、
日本に帰ってきてからクアモオ湾まで行かなかった理由を伺いました。
天候のせい(確かに波が高く、寒かったです)という理由は分かりますが、
私たちの体力やカヤック技術の問題にまで言及するのはちょっと疑問でした。
初心者の人がいるとルートを変えるのでしょうか?
せめて現地で何らかの説明があればもう少し納得がいくのですが、
今回は少しがっかりしました。

Reply from activity provider

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, I sincerely apologize that we were unable to provide satisfactory service due to insufficient explanations from our staff on the day of the event.

I have confirmed the situation with the local operating company. As you mentioned, the afternoon plan typically involves kayaking to Kuamo'o Bay for snorkeling, but on that day, due to high waves and safety considerations, the route was changed. Additionally, we received reports that the briefing took longer than usual, which resulted in not having enough time to guide you to Kuamo'o Bay. I am truly sorry that the changes to the route were not properly explained before the tour ended. I have strongly advised the operating company to ensure that customers are thoroughly informed of any changes to the tour content.

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

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、当日のスタッフの説明不足により、ご満足いただけるサービスを提供できませんでしたこと、心よりお詫び申し上げます。

当日の状況を現地催行会社に確認させていただきました。ご参加いただいた午後プランではおっしゃる通り、通常クアモオ湾までカヤックで移動し、シュノーケリングを行うスケジュールですが、当日は波も高く、安全面を考慮し、ルートを変更させていただいたとのことでした。また、当日は通常よりもブリーフィングにお時間をいただいたこともあり、クアモオ湾までご案内する時間もとれなかったと報告を受けております。ルート変更の説明がしっかりとされないまま、ツアーが終了してしまい、誠に申し訳ございませんでした。催行会社にはツアー内容に変更があった際はお客様にしっかりご説明する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。

ハワイ島 シュノーケルクルーズ SUP体験もできる充実ツアー!貸し切りプランあり<午前/朝食・昼食付き> by フラカイ号

A lot of fish. 魚いっぱい

Reviewed by: モカちゃん

I have participated in snorkeling tours on all the islands in Hawaii, but this spot on the Big Island has the most coral and plenty of fish—it's truly a wonderful place! This is my third time, and I'm always very satisfied. The price is a bit high, but the boat is clean, the lunch is delicious, and it's very comfortable. There are various activities on the Big Island, but I definitely want to experience snorkeling in the ocean. I really recommend it! My 82-year-old father didn't go into the water, but he enjoyed just looking at the beautiful sea like he was on a cruise. I will definitely come back again.

ハワイでは全ての島でシュノーケリングツアーに参加してますが、
ハワイ島のここが1番珊瑚が多く魚もたくさんいて本当に素敵なスポットです♪
今回三回目ですがいつも大満足です。
ちょっと金額は高いですが、ボートもキレイだしランチも美味しいし
とても快適
ハワイ島は色んなアクティビティあるけどやっぱり海でシュノーケリングも体験しで欲しいです。ほんとにオススメ
82歳の父は海には入らないけどクルーズ気分でキレイな海を眺めているだけで楽しめました。

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

Unforgettable Kayaking Adventure

Reviewed by: Krista Gray

We chose the morning Kayak tour, it was a bit of a walk to get to the dock but were greeted warmly by Hauoli, our guide, and Ben. We stowed our valuables in their lock box and paddled out into Keauhou Bay and out into the ocean past the Sheraton Hotel, the Lekeleke/Kuamo'o sacred burial grounds, and the End of the World burial grounds which is a great tourist spot too. We got to the Sea Cave but because the swells were too high and dangerous that day, we admired them from outside. Our guide, Hauoli, made our tour so much fun. He regaled us with the history and attractions of the area, and being a local, was very knowledgeable and interesting. We did not stay for snorkeling or cliff jumping but thoroughly enjoyed our time kayaking.

The guide was very kind and made an effort to speak to us in broken Japanese, even though my English is basic. The atmosphere was fantastic, and my daughter, who was a bit nervous at first, seemed to relax and even started petting her horse later on. Crossing the river was a lot of fun, and our family is already talking about coming back here on our next trip to Hawaii Island. I'm really glad we participated—highly recommended!

Insect repellent, sunscreen, water, and even towels and bags were available for rent.

Above all, having lunch on the grass with the backdrop of the Porn Valley after the hike made me very happy! !(^^)!

Mike and Deanna were our guides this afternoon. They were quick but thorough in equipping everyone and explaining what to expect. The snorkeling was amazing. Though the wind picked up more than expected, they skillfully guided us back across the bay. Great experience that was enhanced by Mike's tales of the history of the bay.

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>

Incredibly reasonable. 最高にリーズナブル

Reviewed by: つるちゃん

The cost was $100, and at first, I thought it was a bit expensive, but $100 is about 11,000 yen. Considering that you get to see a live traditional luau and Hawaiian show up close, along with an all-you-can-eat meal and drinks, it’s quite reasonable. There were hardly any Japanese people around, and everyone spoke only English. I was a bit anxious, but it was fun, and by the end, I was shouting in Hawaiian along with the host. After the luau, I took pictures with the dancers on stage. I even got a tattoo stamp on my arm, just like the Hawaiians (it was water-based ink, so it came off quickly afterward). It was so much fun!

費用が100ドルで、最初はちょっと高いかなと思いましたが、100ドルって11,000円ですよね。生の伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショーを間近に見て、おいしい食事とドリンクは食べ放題、飲み放題だったら、充分リーズナブルでしょう。ほとんど日本人が居ない中で、廻りは英語のみ。不安に固まりでしたが、楽しくて、終わりには司会者の声に合わせてハワイ語の叫び声を上げていました。ルアウ後、舞台で踊ったダンサー達と写真を撮りました。腕にはハワイ人と同じ入れ墨をスタンプ(水性インクなので後ですぐに落ちました)してもらいました。楽しかったなー。

The consent forms and explanations for riding horses are available in Japanese. A little communication in English is necessary, but if you can make it here on your own, there shouldn't be any problems.

The horses are incredibly well-trained. I was thrilled to be able to ride for longer than I expected.

One thing to be careful about is not to get too caught up in the horses and forget to enjoy the wonderful scenery. The shop at the reception also sells great souvenirs.

同意書や馬に乗る説明は日本語化されています。
少しの英語でのコミニュケーションは必要ですが、この地まで自力で来られる人ならば問題ないでしょう。

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

Amazing kayak and snorkel

Reviewed by: Harriet

We went as a family of four with two girls, 10 and 8,neither of whom had ever snorkelled. (but both had kayaked). We did the afternoon tour and were really lucky to see the spinner dolphins on the way to and from the snorkeling. The ethos of the tour was amazing. Once spotted, we stopped paddling and let them come to us, no chasing, no interference and Deanna and her colleague (sorry, forgot his name), clearly care so much about the reef and local wildlife, very much respecting it and observing rather than chasing it down. Once on the reef they showed us local plants, and got all our goggles ready for snorkeling. As my kids hadn't snorkelled before they were botha bit scared, but Deanna was super helpful, and got in with them. Once they looked down they were off, and didn't want to come in. Snacks and drinks were provided, as was a history of the Captain Cook monument. Would highly highly recommend.... No guarantees you will get dolphins, but incredibly safe and clear snorkeling, best I have seen and clearly run by people who care most about maintaining the reef and wildlife for future generations.

Everyone was very satisfied. 全員大満足でした

Reviewed by: みどり

We participated as a three-generation group, from ages 9 to 60s.

There were plenty of boots, helmets, and jackets available, and everyone borrowed them.

The explanations were in English, but the instructor spoke very clearly, making it easy to understand, and they spoke slowly enough that I could convey the information to the children as well. They also engaged with us during the ride, and when the horses didn’t listen, the staff at the front and back of the line helped out. As a beginner, I felt safe and had a great time.

It took just under an hour for all participants to get equipped and mount the horses, but after that, we rode for about 1 hour and 40 minutes, going up hills and visiting a cattle pasture. We finished around noon after the morning gathering.

The children seemed to have a lot of fun and are already talking about "next time being 2 and a half hours!"

9歳から60代まで三世代で参加しました。

ブーツやヘルメット、上着はたくさん用意されており、全員お借りしました。

英語での説明ですが、とてもはっきり話してくれるのでよくわかりましたし、ゆっくりなので同時に子供達にも伝えることができました。
途中もいろいろと話しかけてくれて、馬が言うことをきかないときは列の前後にいるスタッフが手助けしてくれます。

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー  レジェンズ・オブ・ハワイ(ヒルトンワイコロアビレッジ)<日・火・金催行/ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題>

Above average 平均点以上

Reviewed by: ふじひで

I was guided to the front row with the use of a premium seat. However, to get a good seat even within that category, it's necessary to arrive early and line up, as the front row is guaranteed but the specific position is first come, first served.

The content of the show is a very typical Hawaiian show. I've seen many shows of this kind, but I think the quality of the dancers is quite high.

The unlimited cocktails and soft drinks are also a big plus. (Many places only offer the first drink for free.) Moreover, the staff is always attentive, making it easy to get refills, so for those who can drink, this is a significant advantage. (The quality of the table service may vary, though.)

プレミアムシート利用で最前列に案内された。が、そのカテゴリーの中でも良い席にしてもらうには、プレミアムでも早めに行って並んでおくことが必要。(前方は約束されているが、その中での位置は早い者勝ちなので)

ショーの内容はとてもとても一般的なハワイアンショー。この手のショーは何本も観てきたが、ダンサーのクオリティは高い方だと思う。

カクテル、ソフトドリンク飲み放題と言うのもポイントが高い。(無料は一杯目だけなんてのも多いので)
しかも係が常に目を配ってくれるので、お代わりもしやすいので、飲める人はポイントが高い。(テーブルの係の良し悪しもあるかもしれないが)

ワイピオ渓谷 乗馬ツアー 絶景のなかを気軽に乗馬体験 <午前・午後/英語ガイド> by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

I recommend it. お勧めです。

Reviewed by: Yuu

We participated with two adults and two children for our first horseback riding experience. We took a four-wheel drive microbus down to the bottom of Waipi'o Valley from the meeting point. The guide provided explanations in English, but it's okay if you can't catch everything. The stunning views of the valley and the movement of the vehicle going down the steep slope felt like a little attraction, which was enjoyable. Upon arrival, the guide explained how to ride the horses in English and some broken Japanese. Although I felt a bit anxious, I could understand somewhat through gestures, and the horses were well-trained, so we could ride without any issues. After that, we rode in a line through the valley, passing taro fields and waterfalls. As we got more comfortable, it felt like we were able to control the horses ourselves, making it a very enjoyable experience. While it might be a bit lacking for experienced riders, our family, who are all beginners, was completely satisfied with the experience.

Additional notes:
- We drove from Kailua-Kona by rental car, which took about 1 hour and 30 minutes. The local office is also in a somewhat difficult-to-find location, so I recommend allowing extra time for travel.
- If you bring a camera, the guide can take photos for you along the way.
- The guide will say "right, left, pull, kick" in Japanese when necessary, so it's fine even for children who don't understand English. (According to them)

乗馬初体験の大人2人、子供2人で参加しました。
集合場所から4駆のマイクロバスのような車に乗ってワイピオ渓谷の下まで降りていきます。ガイドさんが英語で説明をしてくれますが聞き取れなくても問題ありません。渓谷の素晴らしい景色と超急坂降を下る車の動きがちょっとしたアトラクションのようで楽しめます。下に到着するとガイドさんが馬の乗り方について英語と片言の日本語で説明してくれます。ちょっと不安に思いますが身振り手振りでなんとなく理解できることと、馬が十分に調教されているので問題なく乗ることが出来ます。その後一列になってタロイモ畑や滝を見ながら渓谷の中を巡ります。慣れてくると自分で馬をコントロール出来ているような気がしてとても楽しく過ごせます。乗馬経験者には少し物足りないかもしれませんが、未経験の私たち家族は全員大満足の体験でした。

その他
・カイルア-コナからレンタカーで移動しましたが1時間30分かかりました。現地事務所も
 わかりにくい場所にあるので時間に余裕を持て移動することをお勧めします。
・カメラを持参すると途中でガイドさんに写真を撮ってもらえます。
・ガイドさんが「右、左、引く、蹴る」と日本語で必要時言ってくれるので英語が解らない

We attended the luau on March 29, 2017 and had a lovely time. It was a buffet style and you could make more than one trip to the table - and to the open bar until 7:00pm.

The entertainment was fun to watch, the dances from the different Polynesian Islands were interesting, especially the fire dancer! You can't go to Hawaii without a luau and this is a good one to check out.

ワイピオ渓谷 乗馬ツアー 絶景のなかを気軽に乗馬体験 <午前・午後/英語ガイド> by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

It was amazing!! 最高でした!!

Reviewed by: ようこ

All four of us in the family experienced horseback riding for the first time. We didn't fully understand English, but everyone had an amazing time! The horses were well-trained, and my 12-year-old daughter said she "wasn't scared at all." We crossed the river several times, which was fun. There was a pleasant breeze, the scenery was beautiful, and the riding time was just right—it was a very satisfying experience. Helmets are available to borrow, and you can also rent bags to keep your wallet and camera in. The weather was nice, so short sleeves were perfect. There were no bugs. I highly recommend it!

家族4人とも、乗馬初体験。英語も完璧には理解できていない。 ・・・けれども皆、最高に楽しめました! 馬がよく調教されているので、12歳の娘も「怖くなかった」と言っていました。何度か川を越えたのですが、それが面白かったです。心地よい風も吹いていて、景色も素晴らしく、乗馬時間もちょうどよく、大満足の体験でした。ヘルメットは借りることができます。お財布やカメラを入れておけるバッグも借りれます。お天気が良かったので半袖でちょうど良かったです。虫はいませんでした。 とにかくオススメです!

The food was delicious, but the variety of drinks was limited. My child seemed dissatisfied as they could only drink the same beverage. The cake was tasty at first, but after eating a lot, it caused some heartburn. I recommend it for those who can communicate in English, but it might be better to avoid it for those who don't understand English. The sunset over the ocean was beautiful. The atmosphere was fantastic!

料理は美味しかったけど、ドリンクの種類は少なめ。
同じドリンクしか飲めない状態で、子どもが不満だった様子。
ケーキは最初の一口は美味しいが、たくさん食べると胸焼けしました。
英語が通じる方にはオススメですが、英語がわからない方は
止めた方が良いかも。
海に沈む太陽がとても良かったです。雰囲気は最高!

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>

Wonderful! 素敵

Reviewed by: 旅行者

There is no Japanese guide, but the staff did their best to explain in Japanese. When you see the whales, you completely forget about the language barrier. It was a wonderful experience.

日本語ガイドはないですが、スタッフの方が頑張って日本語でも説明してくれてました。
クジラを見れば、言葉のことなんて全く気にならないです。
素敵な体験をさせてもらいました。

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 cute dolphins. 可愛いイルカと触れ合える

Reviewed by: yukinko

In one group, there were a few Japanese people, and everything was explained in English. My daughter, who doesn't understand English at all, was initially confused and completely frozen. However, when the dolphin interaction time began, the language barrier didn't matter; she naturally started smiling and seemed to have a lot of fun. The photos were all great shots, and I ended up buying quite a few. It's not often you get to interact with dolphins, so I highly recommend it!

1つのグループに日本人は数名、説明も全て英語で全く英語がわからない娘は最初戸惑って、完全に固まっていました。しかしイルカとのふれあいタイムが始まると、言葉の壁もなんのその、自然と笑顔がこぼれ、とっても楽しかったようです。写真も良いショットばかりでついつい沢山購入してしまいました。イルカと触れ合うなんてなかなか体験できない!のでお勧めです。

アロハ、

ドルフィン・クエストを選んでいただきありがとうございます!

お嬢様がキッズ・クエストプログラムでイルカに触れたり学んだりして楽しい時間を過ごされたと聞いて嬉しいです。ドルフィン・クエストの教育者たちは、海洋哺乳類の保護の重要性を多言語で伝えようと努めていますが、私たちのイルカたちがこれらの教訓の最高の大使であることが多いです。次回ハワイにお越しの際には、ぜひまた別の体験をしにお越しください!

マハロ、

ドルフィン・クエストゲストサービス

Aloha,

Thank you for choosing Dolphin Quest!

We are happy to hear that your daughter had a good time petting and learning about dolphins in our Kid's Quest program. Dolphin Quest educators try to speak across languages the importance of marine mammal conservation, most of the time our dolphins are the best ambassadors for these lessons. We hope your family can come back again for another experience on your next visit to Hawaii!

Mahalo,

Dolphin Quest Guest Services
