ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

Very satisfied. 大満足

Reviewed by: ITO

I came to Hawaii Island from Japan, excited for a vacation! This was my first trip to Hawaii, and I spent a full week on the island. Living in nature was incredibly refreshing.

We stayed at the Hilton Waikoloa Village condominium. Since there was no shuttle service to the tour destination, we headed to Honokohau Marina with the rental car we had. We drove south on Highway 19, turned right onto Kealakehe Parkway, and quickly spotted the blue-roofed mall, so we didn't get lost.

We arrived a bit early, so we explored the area and found it to be a charming port town, which heightened our excitement! Upon entering the building, we were greeted by an elderly man with white hair. Since I hardly speak any English, I managed to say "Good morning," and he responded with a smile. When I conveyed that I didn't understand English, he handed me a notice and consent form written in Japanese, along with an explanation of the tour and the sights.

There were about 14 participants in total, including two groups from Japan and three family groups from America (among them were four children in elementary school).

As we boarded the boat, we spotted rays in the harbor, which heightened our anticipation! Just 1-2 minutes after departing, wild dolphins appeared, and everyone was thrilled! It was amazing to see wild dolphins swimming alongside the boat and jumping, as if welcoming us!

Our destination was the site of Captain Cook's memorial! We sped across the sea, feeling the wind, but it was quite bumpy and sunny. Sunscreen and rash guards are essential.

The snorkeling point was in a calm cove with excellent visibility, and there were plenty of fish! My companion, who isn't a strong swimmer, was initially scared, but once we got into the water, they became engrossed and enjoyed snorkeling.

After about an hour of snorkeling, we returned to the boat, where homemade sandwiches were served. They were delicious! During several breaks, we also enjoyed snacks, juice, and pineapple! Eating on the water was an extraordinary experience, and the pineapple cut fresh by the captain was especially tasty! Break times were flexible, so even those without much stamina can participate comfortably.

After snorkeling, we were able to rinse off our hair and bodies with a shower! After that, we were guided to the sights. The guidance was all in English, which I couldn't fully understand, but I could grasp the general idea.

On the way back, we saw dolphins again, and when we returned to the harbor, we spotted a sea turtle, making the tour very satisfying!

However, since the captain's guidance was entirely in English, I think it would have been even more enjoyable if I understood English. If I could wish for something, having a Japanese guide would be ideal.

Overall, I was very satisfied, so I highly recommend it!

For those participating, I would like to share a few tips:
1. Be sure to bring sunscreen.
2. A rash guard or long sleeves; women should wear half pants over their swimsuits.
3. If you don't want to rent a mask and snorkel, bring your own.
4. A waterproof camera.

I think these items would be helpful!

日本からハワイ島へバカンスを楽しみにやって来ました！今回の旅行で初めてのハワイに！そして丸々1週間ハワイ島で過ごしました。大自然の中での生活はとてもリフレッシュ出来るものでした。
私たちはワイコロアにあるヒルトンキンクスランドのコンドミニアムに宿泊。
今回はツアー先まで送迎なしだったので借りていたレンタルカーで現地ホノコハウ・マリーナへ向かいました。
19号線をひたすら南下し、Kealakehe Pkwyを右折、すぐに目印の青い屋根のモールが見えたので迷いませんでした。

少し早めに着いたので周りを散策するととても雰囲気のある港町で楽しみが増して来ました！
建物に入ると白髪の老父がお出迎え！英語がほとんど話せない私はなんとか「グットモーニング」と話仕掛けると笑顔で対応してくれましたが英語はわかりませんと伝えると日本語の書いてある注意事項と同意書、そして今回のツアーの内容と名所の説明書きを渡されました。
実際に参加したのは私たちを含め日本から二組、アメリカから来ていたご家族グループ三組と14人位が参加(中には小学生低学年程のお子様も4人いました)

ボートに乗り込む時港にはエイが現れ、ワクワクが高まります！港を出港して1〜2分で野生のイルカが現れみんなで興奮しました！
まさかいきなり野生のイルカが現れてボートと並行して泳いだり、ジャンプしたりとまるで歓迎してくれているようでした！

目的地はキャプテン・クックの慰霊碑がある場所へ！海上を物凄いスピードで進み、風を感じられますが、激しい揺れと強い陽射しでした。
日焼け止めとラッシュガードは必需品です。

シュノーケリングポイントは波のない入江の小湾のような場所で透明度抜群で魚もたくさんいました！
泳ぐのが苦手な連れは最初は怖がっていましたが、いざ海に入ると夢中になって普通にシュノーケリングして楽しんでいました。

小一時間くらいシュノーケリングを楽しみ一度ボートに戻るとお手製のサンドイッチが振舞われました。それがとても美味しかったです！他にも数回の休憩中にスナックやジュース、パイナップルも！海上で食べる非日常の体験とても良かったです！キャプテンがその場で切ってくれたパイナップルもても美味しかったです！休憩は時間などは自分たち次第なので体力のない方でも安心して行えます。

シュノーケリングが終わるとシャワーで髪や青を洗わせてくれます！
シュノーケリング後に名所へ案内してくれました。ガイダンスは全て英語で理解できませんでしたが、なんとなくニュアンスでわかる？感じでした。

帰る途中もイルカが現れたり、港に戻るとウミガメが現れたりツアーとしては大満足出来ました！

ただキャプテンのガイドが全て英語だったので英語が理解できていればもっと楽しいと思います。贅沢を言えば日本語ガイドが付いていれば最高です。

トータル的にすごく満足できたのでオススメです！

参加する方にお伝えしたいことは
1.必ず日焼け止めを持っていく
2.ラッシュガード、もしくは長袖、女性は水着の上に履くハーフパンツ
3.マスク、シュノーケルのレンタルが嫌な方は自前の物を
4.水中用カメラ
を持っていくと良いと思います。

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 horseback riding experience enjoying the stunning views of the sea and mountains on a rolling ranch. 起伏に富んだ牧場で、海と山の絶景を楽しみながらの乗馬体験

Reviewed by: ういうい

The meeting place was not marked by a large sign like you would find at tourist attractions, but rather a regular ranch building, which made it a bit difficult to find. However, we managed to arrive by relying on the car navigation system. After reading a very simple horseback riding guide written in Japanese, we put on our helmets and immediately mounted the horses to set off. That day, it was just the two of us and a female guide. The horses were well-trained and walked slowly along a predetermined course without us having to do much, so I didn't feel any danger at all. We enjoyed over an hour of horseback riding in a vast hilly ranch surrounded by stunning views of the sea and mountains. Along the way, we also encountered herds of cows and sheep. This is an experience that you definitely can't have in Japan, and I highly recommend it.

集合場所は、観光名所に見かける大きな案内の看板がある訳ではなく普通の牧場の建物なので、少々わかりにくいところもありましたが、カーナビを頼りにどうにか到着。日本語で書かれたごく簡単な乗馬ガイドを一読した後に、ヘルメットをかぶりすぐ馬に跨って出発。この日は我々二人と女性ガイドの3人だけでした。馬はよく訓練されていて、こちらが特に何かやらなくてもあらかじめ決められたコースをゆっくりと歩いて進んでいく感じで特に危険は感じませんでした。海と山の絶景に囲まれた広大な丘陵地の牧場をのんびりと一時間以上の乗馬。途中で牛や羊の群れとも出くわします。日本では絶対にできそうもない体験でとてもお勧めです。

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

Meet at the gathering place by taxi. タクシーで集合場所へ

Reviewed by: fkawakam

I took a taxi from the hotel in Kailua-Kona. I don't remember the exact price, but I think it was just over $30 including the tip. When I told the taxi driver "Keauhou Bay," he asked, "Which tour company?" so I said "Fair Wind," and he took me there. The driver also checked the return time at the tour desk and came to pick me up.

At Kealakekua Bay, I encountered a pod of dolphins. Two of them came right up to the front of the boat and even jumped. I'm not sure what the chances are of seeing dolphins, but it seems to happen fairly regularly.

As for snorkeling, while the fish population wasn't very dense, I think it was enjoyable enough.

The food was quite good for being served on a boat. However, it seemed that the coffee ran out halfway through, so it was disappointing that there were only cold drinks available during lunch.

Since you might be exposed to direct sunlight in some areas of the boat, I think it's a good idea to have a hat and a rash guard.

カイルア・コナのホテルからタクシーで移動しました。値段はうろ覚えなのですが、確かチップ込みで$30をちょっと越えるぐらいだった気がします。タクシーの運転手には「ケアウホウベイ」と言うと、「ツアー会社は?」と聞かれたようなので、「フェアウインド」と言ったら連れて行ってくれました。また、運転手の方はツアーデスクで帰りの時間をチェックして迎えに来てくれました。

ケアラケクア湾ではイルカの群れに遭遇しました。そのうちの2頭は船のすぐ先までやってきてジャンプまでしていました。どのくらいの確率でイルカに遭遇できるのかはわかりませんが、そういうことも普通にあるようです。

肝心のシュノーケリングですが、魚影はそれほど濃くはないですが、それなりに楽しむことができると思います。

食事は船の上でいただくにしては美味しかったです。ただコーヒーが途中でなくなってしまったようで、昼食時には冷たい飲み物しかなかったのは残念でした。

船の上では場所によっては直射日光を浴びることになるので、帽子とラッシュガードがあったほうが良いと思います。

Both of us were a bit anxious since it was our first time riding horses, but we had a lot of fun. The horse was quite stubborn, but that added to its charm. We rode up a small stream, and the hour and a half went by in no time. They lend you a bag to keep your valuables in while in the saddle, so we were able to put our camera and water bottles in it.

It was supposed to be Japanese-friendly, but there were only people who couldn't speak at all, which made me a bit anxious. We were the only Japanese participants. In a way, it made me feel like I was really abroad, and that was fun. However, the service was a bit careless, which was a little tiring. I'm glad I got to see a lot of dolphins.

I saw it from an upgraded seat. アップグレードの席で見ました

Reviewed by: チェリー

Unlike the hotel luau in Honolulu, this one is more intimate. As a result of upgrading my seat, I ended up in a front-row seat near the stage. I was able to enjoy a powerful performance. However, even without the upgrade, the scale is sufficient to have a great time. Before the show started, there were activities in the plaza such as tattoo printing services, hula dance lessons, and a whole roasted pig, which were all fun to participate in. The food was decent, but the drinks were all-you-can-drink. Whenever I go to Hawaii, I participate in a luau, and I really enjoyed this hotel's luau. The hotel luau in Honolulu has many performers and is quite impressive, but this one offers a local atmosphere of the Big Island. I highly recommend it.

ホノルルのホテルルアウと違い、こじんまりとしています。アップグレードの席にした結果、ステージの前の席になりました。迫力あるステージを楽しめました。ただアップグレードしなくてもじゅぶん楽しめる規模です。ショーが始まる前の広場ではタトゥーのプリントサービスやフラダンスのレクチャー、豚の丸焼きなど参加できるものがあり楽しかったです。食事はまあまあですが、飲み物は飲み放題でした。私はハワイに行ったときはルアウに参加するのですが、このホテルのルアウは楽しめました。ホノルルのホテルルアウは出演者も多くそれなりに迫力があり楽しめますが、ハワイ島のローカルな雰囲気が楽しめます。ぜひおすすめです。

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

This is suitable for people who want to study English. Be careful of sunburn! 英語の勉強をしたい人向きです。日焼けに注意！

Reviewed by: Joyce

I can speak English (intermediate level), but my husband cannot at all. However, after seeing some experiences, it seemed like we could enjoy it to some extent, so I decided to sign up to see Hawaii Island from the sea.

I thought my husband would feel more at ease if there was at least one other Japanese person in our group, but unfortunately, all five other groups were American. When we gathered at the shop and saw the others, my husband started saying, "Oh no..." While we did receive a paper with points of interest and precautions written in Japanese beforehand, to be honest, even if I tried to read the explanations of some highlights in advance, I couldn't retain the information, and if I couldn't catch what was being said, I had no idea which explanation corresponded to which sight.

The captain and the staff girl who accompanied us were kind. They paid attention to us properly. However, the chatter while on the boat was hard to hear due to the loud motor noise, and I couldn't even catch what the captain or staff were explaining to nearby people or the casual conversations they were having. I couldn't enjoy conversing with others. It seemed like the people around us sensed that it might be better not to talk to us, as we were quite alone during the snorkeling point, and my husband especially didn't seem to enjoy it that much. It might be more suited for those who don't mind their surroundings or for children.

It probably depends on the members of the group, but during our time, there were only adults, so the captain skillfully maneuvered the boat, which tilted quite a bit, making it a thrilling ride. However, even while moving, if you don't hold onto the rope tightly with one hand, you might get thrown off, so I think it would be difficult for anyone younger than upper elementary school age.

The snorkeling point was honestly average. Unfortunately, we couldn't swim with the dolphins, but they were always looking for dolphins, and thanks to that, we were able to observe different types of dolphins from the boat twice.

We took a taxi to the shop, and since I had requested them to call a taxi for our return, they kindly dropped us off at a nearby dock to save on taxi fare.

While we enjoyed the sea, it might not be suitable for those who are concerned about their surroundings. Also, please be careful about sunburn. I thought I had applied sunscreen thoroughly, but the hairline area that was exposed from under the snorkel mask got burned. And so did my parting... They told us to remove our caps as they might blow away. A hoodie with a hood is recommended.

私は英語ができますが（中上級程度）、夫は全くです。
でも体験談を見ていると、それなりに楽しめるようだったので
海からハワイ島を見てみたいと思い、申し込みました。

１組でも日本人がいれば、夫も安心するだろうと思っていましたが
残念ながら、他の５組は全てアメリカ人でした。
ショップに集合して他の人を見た時点で、夫は「え〜〜」と言い始め、
確かに事前に立ち寄るポイントや注意事項が日本語で書かれた紙をいただきましたが
正直、いくつかの見どころの説明を事前に読もうとしても
頭に入らないし、聞き取れないと、どれがどれの説明だったかはさっぱりだと思います。

キャプテン、同乗したスタッフの女の子は親切でした。
ちゃんと私たちにも目を配ってくれました。
ただ、ボートに乗っている間のおしゃべりは、モーター音がすごいので
かなり声を張り上げないと聞こえず
私ですら、キャプテンやスタッフが近くの人に何か説明していたり
世間話をしているような会話が聞き取れず、
他の人と会話を楽しむというようなことはできませんでした。
周りの人たちも、私たちには話かけない方がいいのかなみたいに
察したのか、シュノーケリングポイントでは随分時間があったのですが
私達はぽつんと２人きりで、特に夫はそれほど楽しめていないようでした。
周りを気にしない人や子供の方が向いているかもしれないです。

その時のメンバーによるのでしょうが、
私達の時は、大人ばかりでしたので
キャプテンがボートを自由自在に操って、ボートがかなり傾いて
スリルのある楽しい乗り物でした。
ただ進む際でも、片手ではしっかりロープを握って
いなければはじき飛ばされそうで、
せめて小学校高学年位でないと無理だろうなと思います。

シュノーケリングポイントは、正直普通でした。
残念ながら、イルカと一緒には泳ぐことはできませんでしたが、
イルカを見つけようと常に探してくれて、お陰で２度ボートの上から
違う種類のイルカを観察することができました。

ショップまではタクシーで行き、
事前に帰りはタクシーを呼んでねとお願いしていたら
私達のホテルの近所に桟橋があったせいか、
タクシー代節約してねと帰りはそこに寄って先に降ろしてくれたので助かりました。


海は楽しめましたが、周りを気にするような人には向いていないかもしれません。
あと、日焼けには注意してください。
私はがっつり日焼け止めを塗っていたつもりでしたが、
シュノーケルのマスクからはみ出した髪の毛の生え際部分が焼けてしまいました。
そして髪の毛の分け目も…。
キャップは飛ばされるので、外してねと言われます。
フードのついたパーカーがおすすめです。

Reviewed by: いえろー

This is an all-English tour. You don't need to have strong English skills, but it might be tough if you can't understand at least a little.

For those who are not confident in their English, a Japanese tour has recently been established, which might be better even though it's more expensive. (It seems that only local guides were allowed to conduct tours until recently, but now Japanese guides have finally been permitted.)

The tour includes a full two hours of horseback riding. You'll be riding the whole time, which can be quite tiring.

The horses are well-trained, so even someone like me with almost no riding experience felt safe.

You'll ride around the Waipi'o Valley, and it was really fun to splash through the river.

I've also ridden in Oahu, but I definitely recommend this one!!

However, there are quite a few small flies, so it might be tough for those who are not good with insects.

You descend to the bottom of a deep canyon and ride through the jungle on horseback. Driving down the narrow, winding, steep road feels like being on a theme park ride, but you can enjoy the beautiful canyon and black sand beach from the car window.

The horseback ride allowed us to cross rivers several times, adding to the adventurous experience. It was my first time riding a horse, but the English instructions were not difficult to understand, and the trained horses naturally formed a line and followed along. There was a guide at the front and back of the line, keeping an eye on things and ready to assist if needed, which made it easy to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.

深い渓谷の底まで降りて行き、ジャングルの中を馬で進んでいきます。
車で狭く曲がりくねった急な道を降りていくのは、遊園地のアトラクションに乗り続けているかのようですが、車窓からは美しい渓谷と黒砂海岸を楽しめます。
馬上の散策は、途中、何度か川を越えたり、アドベンチャー気分を味わうことができました。
馬に乗るのは初めてでしたが、説明の英語は難しくないですし、訓練された馬なので勝手に列を形成して付いて行ってくれる感じでした。
ガイドも列の前後に一名ずついて、様子を見て何かあればサポートしてくれるので、安心して楽しめました。

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.

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）

Legends of Hawaii Luau Dinner Show with Open Bar at Hilton Waikoloa Village

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.

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

A valuable experience on horseback along the river. 川を行く馬上での貴重な体験

Reviewed by: マサコ

As everyone has mentioned, we drove down a very steep slope in a 4WD vehicle to the valley bottom. Then, we finally got to ride the horses. The explanations were all in English, which made me a bit worried (or rather, I couldn't understand what was being said), but a Japanese person from the tour who lives in the U.S. helped by translating. Thank you very much! Their son, who looked to be around middle school age, was cute and considerate.

I was worried about whether I could get on the horse properly, but when I managed to do so, they said things like "As expected!" The horseback riding experience was something I had done several times before, and each time I ended up feeling stiff and tired, but this time I was able to enjoy it leisurely in nature.

The path was quite wild. While I felt safe riding the horse itself, we got to see waterfalls along the way and splashed through rivers, which is not something you get to experience often. I think the horseback riding experience in Waipi'o Valley is a recommended tour for nature lovers and those who want to ride horses. Even if you're not fluent in English, you can still enjoy it. However, you won't be able to hear the explanations along the way. It's not because it's in English; it's just that you can't hear when you're further away. So it might be the same in Japanese as well.

皆さんが書いているように、すごい急な坂道を４ＷＤの車で谷底へ。
そしてお待ちかねのお馬さんに乗ります。
説明は全部英語でされるのでなんとなく心配（というかなんといっているか聞き取れない）でしたが、一緒のツアーの在米の日本人の方が通訳をしてくれて助かりました。ありがとうございました。そしてその方の息子さんが中学生くらいなのにかわいくて気遣ってくれました。
うまく馬に乗り移れるか心配だった私がうまく乗り移れると「さすが～」とか言ってくれたりして・・
乗馬体験はなんどかしているいて、そのたびにかちんこちんで疲れるのですが、今回は自然の中でゆったりと楽しめました。
なにしろワイルドな道なんですよ。乗馬そのものは安心して乗れますが・・
途中では滝が見られたり、川をざばざば行ったりとなかなかできない体験ではないでしょうか？
ワイピオ渓谷の乗馬体験は自然派にも、乗馬をしたい人にもおすすめのツアーだと思います。
英語が堪能でなくても、十分楽しめますよ。ただし、道すがらの説明は聞こえません。英語だからではなく離れると聞こえないんです。なので日本語でも英語でも同じかもしれません。

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

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.
