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

It's completely different from last time. 前回とは大違い

Reviewed by: キャンデイ

There were a total of five of us, including myself. The weather was cloudy, and it rained partway through. Last time (about five years ago), the guide was cheerful and prepared photo spots for us. This time, there was no such consideration, and it felt like we just walked around and that was it. I don't know if it was the guide's personality or the company's policy, but I was very disappointed.

　私ども入れて全部で５人で参加でした。天候も曇り空で途中雨も降りました。前回（５年前ぐらい）はガイドさんも明るく写真スポットも用意してくれました。今回は、そのような配慮もなく散歩してお終いでした。ガイドの性か会社の方針かしれませんが、非常にがっかりしました。

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＞

An exhilarating and invaluable experience. 興奮が止まらない貴重な体験

Reviewed by: ヒトン

I participated with my sister. Since it was our first time in Hawaii and our first time renting a car abroad, I was worried about whether we would make it to the meeting point after learning there was no pickup service. However, we arrived safely 20 minutes before the meeting time thanks to the easy-to-understand location and the straightforward route. We couldn't speak any English, but after reading everyone’s reviews, I thought we might manage somehow. On the day, however, all 11 other participants, aside from us, were from English-speaking countries, which made me realize the importance of English. Despite not understanding any English, the captain frequently checked in on us, and we had a very enjoyable time. During the snorkeling session, dolphins swam close to the boat. Unfortunately, we were on the boat when we came up from the water, so we couldn't swim with them, but we were able to see the dolphins up close. The boat was very fast, and an elderly lady who was riding with us became worried (even though I have a good build...) and made me move to a safer seat. Still, the angle between the boat and the water was almost 90 degrees! It was so much fun. Next time, I want to join during the whale watching season and master English so I can communicate with people from other countries. Thank you for the wonderful time.

姉と二人で参加しました。ハワイ島初上陸＆初海外レンタカーだった為ピックアップがないと知った時は無事集合場所に着けるか心配でしたが、とてもわかりやすい立地と運転しやすい道のりで集合時間20分前に無事到着できました。英語が全くできない私達皆さんの口コミを読ませて頂いていたので英語が出来なくてもなんとかなるかなぁと思いましたが、当日参加されていたのは私達を除く１１名はみなさん英語圏の方たちだった為やはり英語の大切さを実感させられた時間でした。しかし、英語が全く分からない私達ですが、キャプテンがたびたび大丈夫か？と声をかけてくださり、とても楽しい時間を過ごす事が出来ました。シュノーケルの時間にはイルカがボートの近くを泳いでいました。残念ながら私達は海から上がってボートにいる時だったので一緒に泳ぐことは出来ませんでしたがとても近くでイルカを見ることが出来ました。ボートはとてもスピードが速く一緒に同乗していたご高齢のご婦人に心配をされてしまい(私はとても体格がよいにも関わらず。。。)安全な席に移動させられてしまいましたが、それでも海面とボート角度がほぼ90度！とても楽しかったです。次回は、クジラが見える時期に、そして他の国の方たちとコミュニケーションが取れるように英語をマスターして参加したいです。楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

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

I flew with my two sons! 息子2人と飛びました❗️

Reviewed by: Akishun

During my last trip to Hawaii with friends, I had to give up on parasailing because I didn't have anyone to fly with and my weight wasn't enough... This time, I soared through the sky with my college and high school sons, and we were able to stay up longer than if I had gone alone. The rugged coastline of lava, the horizon stretching into the sky, and the sparkling surface of the water... Everything was incredibly beautiful and moving, and I kept taking photos. We rose so high that the boat looked like a dot, but I felt no fear at all and was able to enjoy a happy time.

前回、友達とのハワイ旅行では、一緒に飛んでくれる人がいなくて、体重が足りず断念したパラセイル…。
今回は、大学生と高校生の息子と３人で大空を舞いました。（１人より長く飛んでいられます。）溶岩がゴツゴツと続く海岸線、空に続く水平線、ピカピカ光る水面…。全てがとても美しく感動的で、シャッターを切り続けました。ボートが点に見えるくらい高く上がったのですが、怖さは全く感じず、幸せな時間を過ごすことができました。

As marine activity lovers, we requested this experience with a feeling of "it seems fun," and in the end, we were completely satisfied and enjoyed ourselves.

First of all, the staff was friendly and quickly created a relaxed atmosphere. The boat ride truly felt like "ocean rafting," with thrilling speed and dynamic steering that made it feel like an amusement park.

We were lucky enough to encounter a "pod of dolphins" and thoroughly enjoyed dolphin watching. The snorkeling exceeded our expectations, allowing us to see an incredible variety of "tropical fish."

We are grateful to the staff who kept us entertained beyond the scheduled time, and this was definitely an activity we would love to "visit again."

マリンアクティビティ大好きの私たちは、「なんとなく楽しそう」という気持ちでリクエストしましたが、結果的には大満足でエンジョイ出来ました。
先ず、スタッフがフレンドリーで直ぐに和やかな雰囲気を作ってくれ、ボートでまさしく「オーシャンラフティング」満喫のスピードとダイナミック操船で遊園地気分。
運良くだと思いますが、「イルカの群れ」に遭遇してイルカウオッチングを堪能、シュノーケリングも想像以上の「熱帯魚」を見る事が出来ました。

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

"Exciting first horseback riding!" 「ドキドキの初乗馬！」

Reviewed by: fumi

In conclusion, I had a great time!
I'm not very good at English. My friend who joined me doesn't speak any English at all...
So I was quite anxious before going.
But when we arrived, we were given a consent form in Japanese!
I read it carefully and signed it. There was a section at the end about wearing a helmet, stating that if you don't wear it, they won't take responsibility in case of an accident, so I marked "yes" for wearing it. However, someone said, "What do you think? Adults usually don't wear it!" So I casually said, "Oh, then No!" and decided not to wear it.
The kids were wearing helmets, but no adults were, although I recommend wearing one if you're worried since it can be bumpy. However, there were no incidents of anyone falling off or almost falling off.

You can't take your belongings while riding, so I think it's best to leave everything except water and a compact camera in the rental car. We thought we could carry our backpacks, but we were told to "leave them!" and ended up placing them on a shelf in the stable.

The riding instructions are in English, but they also use some broken Japanese in between. I felt there was less to worry about than I expected.
While riding, once we started walking, the guide would shout instructions like "fumi! right! left!" if there was any concern. When they were shouting something in Japanese, I thought they were saying something to us and listened closely.

It was my first time riding. At first, my horse was quite restless, which made me anxious, but gradually we connected and were able to enjoy the ride.
It felt longer than I had anticipated.

I was thrilled to see a giant (bigger than a person's face!) bright blue frog climbing a tree!

I had a lot of fun!
However, the next day my butt was sore (laughs).

If I go to the Big Island again, I definitely want to participate again!

結論から言うと、とっても楽しかったです！
自分は英語があまり得意ではありません。一緒に参加した友達は英語全くできず…。
なので行く前はとても不安でいました。
でも行って受付で渡されるのは、日本語の同意書でした！
よく読んでサイン。最後のところにヘルメットについての同意があるのですが、
着用しないともし万が一の時の責任は負いませんよ、的なことが書いておるので、着用するに○をして提出したのですが「どうする？大人はあんまりしないかな！」って言われて、「あ、じゃぁNo！」って言ってあっさり着用しないことにしてしまいました。
お子さんはかぶってましたが、大人は誰もかぶっていませんでしたが、揺れるので心配な方は着用をお勧めします。でも、落馬した人も、しそうだった人もいませんでした。

荷物は持って乗馬できないので、水とコンパクトカメラ以外はレンタカーに置いて行くといいと思います。自分たちはリュックは背負えるだろうと持って行ったのですが、「置いて！」って言われて、馬小屋の棚に置いて行くことになりました。

乗馬の説明も、英語になりますが、合間合間で、片言の日本語を使って教えてくれます。
思ったより心配することはなかったなという印象です。
乗馬し、歩き始めてからも馬が「fumi!みぎ！ひだり！」などと心配な時はガイドさんが大きな声で指示してくれます。日本語で何か叫んでいるときは私たちに何か言ってるなって思って聞いてました。

乗馬も初めて。最初は自分の乗った馬がなかなか冷静になってくれず焦ったのですが、
次第に心を通わせられて(?)楽しく歩くことができました。
思っていたより時間が長く感じられました。

特大の(人の顔よりも大きい！)真っ青な蛙が木を登っていて、それを見れたのが最高にうれしかった！


とても楽しかったです！
ただ、翌日はお尻が筋肉痛です(笑)

次またハワイ島に行ったら、ぜひまた参加したいです！

This was my second time horseback riding at Kohala Coast.

The reef is a very short swim from the shore. I immediately saw tangs, angels, eel, parrot fish, rock fish, and wrasse. Because the water was so shallow the colors were vibrant. The tour sold $20 underwater cameras and I was able to take pictures. Well worth the money.

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

Kayaking on the open sea

I gave the adventure 5 stars, because I don't think it could have been any better and the guides were excellent.

That being said, I did not enjoy the adventure. The water was very rough and I had a very difficult time paddling and controlling the kayak. I have kayaked on lakes and rivers before without difficulty. In addition, because it was so rough, I got VERY sea-sick. That made the return trip nearly impossible. Since you are on your own, you have to muscle through it. As a result, my husband didn't enjoy it because he was worried about me.

Some suggestions, don't do this adventure if you get sea-sick. Another gentleman in the group was also throwing up, so it wasn't just me. In addition, unless you are in amazing physical condition, get a two person kayak. You can use your combined strength to get through the waves.

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＞

There is a sense of security with the large ship. 大型船の安心感があります

Reviewed by: Kazuya

I was looking for a tour to swim with dolphins on the Big Island and narrowed it down to two options: ① a small boat tour with about six people (no restroom, no shower, some snacks provided, possibly swimming close to dolphins) or ② a large boat (with restroom, shower, breakfast and lunch included, able to see dolphins but not swim with them). When I asked my kids, they preferred the large boat with a slide (more interested in that than the dolphins... haha), and considering my wife's health, I thought it would be better to choose the tour with the restroom, so I went with option ②.

In fact, two years ago, when I participated in a tour with Quicksilver in Cairns, Australia, the large boat had a buffet for lunch and was equipped with restrooms and changing rooms, making it very comfortable, so I chose a similar type this time as well. The departure location was a bit far from the office and unclear, but when I first went to the departure point and asked a crew member near the boat, they kindly guided me, allowing me to find the office and park the car successfully.

When I got close to the boat, the check-in was smooth, and we boarded. The boat was not as large as the one from Quicksilver in Australia, with six booth-style seats like those in a family restaurant, and there were bench seats back-to-back in the central area on the second floor, which had a roof, while the outer bench seats were exposed to the sun. By the way, for those prone to seasickness, the first-floor seats are recommended as they experience less rocking.

Since we had an early morning meeting, there was a simple breakfast buffet where we could eat as much as we wanted, including fruit. Also, I had accidentally submerged my waterproof camera the day before, so I rented a digital camera (GoPro) for about $30 with an 8GB SD card and chip. I think it’s much better than the waterproof disposable camera... I tried both, but the photos included here are from the GoPro.

Unlike the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, we didn’t go out far into the ocean but progressed along the coast. Therefore, we were on the boat for about 30 to 40 minutes. When we arrived, the staff distributed snorkeling masks, and the fins were located under the seats on the first floor, so we were told to choose ones that fit our foot size. The water was deep enough for diving, so I borrowed a life jacket (the staff will lend it to you if you ask; you can just gesture to indicate what you need... haha).

When I went to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia around the same time, the seawater was a bit cold, and I borrowed a wetsuit (to prevent jellyfish stings), but this time it wasn’t necessary (there were no jellyfish). The visibility was incredible, and I could see all the way down. It was beautiful.

We swam freely around the boat and slid down the slide from the second floor (the slide ends around the first floor, and you drop into the water from about one floor high). My third-grade son enjoyed it. The adults also had fun. Even without the slide, you could jump in from the second floor where there were no railings.

Around lunchtime, they started a BBQ on the deck, and we had a buffet-style meal centered around hamburgers. During this time, we had free time to eat or play until the departure time.

On the way back, we encountered a pod of dolphins that swam alongside the boat and jumped around. I think we were very fortunate with the weather. I did feel a bit seasick during the trip, but since it was a large boat, I could lie down in my seat the whole time, so I was glad it wasn’t a small boat.

By the way, we were the only Japanese on this tour. Even though we came all the way to Hawaii, it felt a bit lonely to be surrounded by only Japanese people, so I chose this tour, but thanks to that, I was able to make friends with an American who came from Los Angeles.

Since I got seasick this time, I rated it four stars, but the tour itself was great.

ハワイ島でイルカと一緒に泳ぐツアーに参加しようと探していたところ、2つに絞られ、①6名程度の小型ボート（トイレなし、シャワーなし、スナック程度付、イルカの近くで泳げるかも）でのツアーか、②大型船（トイレ、シャワーあり、朝食・昼食付、イルカを見れるけど一緒には泳げない）になりました。
子どもたちに尋ねたところ船にスライダーがついている②大型船を希望し（イルカよりもそっちか…笑）、妻の体調のことも考えるとトイレが完備されているツアーの方がいいかと思い、②を選びました。
実際、2年前にオーストラリアのケアンズでクイックシルバー社のツアーに参加した時、大型船で昼食にビュッフェがあったり、トイレ・更衣室等完備されていたので、大変快適だったので、今回もそのようなタイプを選びました。
出発場所から若干事務所が離れていてよくわからなく、最初に出発場所に行って船の近くにいるクルーに尋ねたら親切に教えてくれたので、事務所を無事に見つけ、車を駐車することができました。
船の近くに行くと受付が行われていて、スムーズに済み、乗船。
オーストラリアのクイックシルバー社の船ほどの大きさはなく、ファミレスのボックスシートのような席が6か所、あとは二階席で中央側にベンチシートが背中合わせであり、そこには屋根があり、外側のベンチシートは日が当たるような状態でした。ちなみに船酔いしやすい人は1階席の方が揺れが少ないのでお勧めです。
朝早くの集合のため、簡単な朝食バイキングがあり、フルーツを含め好きなだけ食べることができました。また前日に防水カメラの内部に浸水させて故障させてしまったので、デジタルカメラ（GoPro）を借りました（8GBのSDカードとチップを入れて30ドル程度だったかな。防水タイプの写るんですよりは全然いいかと思います…両方試してみましたが。今回掲載している写真は、GoProのものです）
オーストラリアのグレートバリアリーフとは違い沖に出ず、岸に沿って進んでいきます。そのため30分か40分程度船に乗るくらいです。
到着する頃になると、スタッフがシュノーケルのマスクを配ってくれ、フィンは1階のシート下にあるので、自分の足のサイズに合うものを選んで使ってくれということでした。ダイビングもできるくらいの深さのところなので、ライフジャケットを借り（スタッフに言えば貸してくれます。というか、置いてあるものを手で持って、ジェスチャーで示すだけでもわかってもらえます…笑）
オーストラリアのグレートバリアリーフに同じ時期に行った時は、海水がやや冷たく、ウェットスーツを借りましたが（クラゲ防止も含めて）、今回は不要でした（クラゲもおらず）。
透明度がすごくて、思いっきり下まで見えました。綺麗です。
船の周辺を好き勝手に泳いだり、2階からスライダーで滑り下りて（1階くらいでスライダーがなくなり、残り1階分くらいの高さから）、水中に落ちる。小3の息子は楽しんでいました。外国人は大人も楽しんでいました。スライダーでなくても2階の手すりのないところから飛びこむこともできます。
昼食頃になるとデッキでBBQをやり始め、ハンバーガーを中心としたバイキング形式の食事になります。
この辺りは食べようが遊ぼうが出発時間までは自由時間です。
帰り道でイルカの群れに遭遇し、船と並走して、ジャンプしたりしてくれました。
天気にも恵まれて大変よかったと思います。
途中船酔い状態になりましたが、やはり大型船だったため、ずっとシートで横になっていることができたので、小型ボートでなくてよかったと思いました。
ちなみにこのツアーですが日本人はうちだけでした。せっかくハワイまで来たのに、周りが日本人ばかりというのもちょっと寂しいので、そのようなツアーにしましたが、お陰でロスから来られたアメリカ人の方と仲良くすることができました。
今回酔ってしまったので、星4つとしましたが、ツアー自体はいいものです。

Our annual family trip to Hawaii. This time, we participated as a couple. Horseback riding is a regular optional activity in Hawaii. This time, we used Naalapa Staples for the first time. Usually, horseback riding gives the impression of well-behaved horses lined up quietly, but this course was interesting!! Not only did we cross a gently flowing river, but we also splashed through water deep enough to soak the horses' bellies, making us exclaim, "We're going through here!?" Along the way, we encountered wild horses, and our guide even decorated our hair with flowers, making it thrilling and very enjoyable. The ranch dogs accompanying us on the tour were also incredibly adorable.

毎年恒例のハワイ家族旅行。今回は、夫婦２人で参加しました。乗馬はハワイでの恒例オプショナル。今回はナアラパ・ステープルズを初めて利用しました。乗馬は、たいていお利口さんなよく人に慣れた馬が１列になって黙々と…というのが常な印象でしたが、このコースはおもしろい！！チョロチョロと流れる川を横切るだけでなく、「川って、ここを行くのっ！？」と馬の腹まで浸かるほどの水深をジャブジャブ。途中で野生の馬に遭遇したり、ガイドさんが花を髪に飾ってくれたりと、スリリングでとてもおもしろかったです。牧場の番犬たちが、一緒にツアーコースを回ってくれたのも何とも愛らしいです。

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＞

Thrilling! You definitely should give it a try. スリル満点！　ぜひ、体験してみてください。

Reviewed by: ハワイ島最高！

I participated with my daughter. There were 10 foreign participants and only the two of us from Japan. I wasn't very confident in my English, so I was quite anxious, but I received a Japanese printout at the reception, which helped me understand the general flow of the event, so I was glad to participate.

The rubber boat was very bumpy, and I was desperately holding on, but my daughter was having a great time and was very excited. On the way back, the boat rocked violently from side to side and turned, making it feel like we were on a roller coaster at an amusement park. There were some elderly participants, but they seemed to enjoy themselves, so I think age shouldn't be a concern.

In Kealakekua Bay, we were able to see colorful fish, which became a wonderful memory. We borrowed flotation devices to wear around our bodies and snorkeled, so my daughter, who isn't a strong swimmer, felt safe. The captain shared various stories, and everyone had a friendly atmosphere as the tour concluded.

We were also lucky enough to see whales during the trip, which made us very happy. Since the sun is quite strong, I recommend reapplying sunscreen several times. Hats can be blown away by the wind, so if you're concerned about sunburn on your head, it might be a good idea to wear a hood and secure it with a string. After snorkeling, it gets chilly, so having a hoodie or a large bath towel would be helpful.

娘と2人で参加しました。参加者は外国人の方10名と日本人は私達2人だけでした。
英語が得意ではないので、かなり不安でしたが、受付で日本語のプリントをいただいたので、大体の流れを把握した上で参加できて良かったです。
前日に予約確認が必要でしたが、ホテルの方にお願いして電話してもらいました。

ゴムボートはとにかく、揺れが激しく私は掴まっているのに必死でしたが、娘はとにかく楽しく大興奮していました。帰り道では、ボートを激しく左右に動かしたり、旋回したりと
まるで、遊園地のジェットコースターに乗っている気分でした。
参加者の中にはかなり高齢の方もいらっしゃいまいしたが、楽しく参加されていたので、
ご年齢は気になさらなくても大丈夫だと思います。

ケアラケクア湾では、色とりどりの魚たちを見ることができて、最高の思い出になりました。身体に巻く浮き具を借りて、スノーケルをしたので、泳ぎの得意でない娘も安心でした。
キャプテンが色々なお話をしてくれて、皆さん和気あいあいとしていい雰囲気でツアーは
終了しました。
移動中には、鯨を見ることもできて、嬉しかったです。
かなり日差しが強いので、日焼け止めクリームを何度か塗り直す方がいいと思います。
帽子は風で飛んでしまうので、頭の日焼けが気になる方は、フードをかぶり紐で止めるといいかもしれません。スノーケル後は冷えるので、パーカーや大きめのバスタオルがあると
いいと思います。

We participated as a family of three.
During snorkeling, I touched a long, blue fish that swam right next to me! I was thrilled to see many colorful and beautiful fish in the shallow area to the left as we headed toward Kealakekua Bay. Diving a few meters deep was also interesting as it brought me closer to the fish.
The sandwiches for lunch were very delicious! They were a bit small for the men, but it seemed there were some leftovers, so we could have seconds. There were also snacks and drinks available, which made me satisfied.
On the way back, we enjoyed dolphin and whale watching. There were moments when the dolphins swam alongside the boat without being scared or avoiding it! The dolphins put on a great show, jumping and twisting in the water. It was fascinating to see them do that without being taught.
The whales were dynamic, spouting water and slapping their tails. The highlight was when one repeatedly raised its pectoral fins and slapped the water's surface, almost as if it was saying, "Goodbye!" I was amazed to see a whale up so close.
It was an incredibly valuable experience. Thank you to all the staff!

家族３人で参加しました。
シュノーケルでは、すぐ近くに泳いで来た青くて細長い魚にタッチ！
ケアラケクア湾の岸に向かって左手の浅いところには、色とりどりの綺麗な魚がたくさんいて感激しました。深いところで数メートル潜ってみるのも、魚たちに近付く感じがおもしろかったです。
昼食のサンドイッチは、とてもおいしかった！ 男性にはちょっと少なめでしたが、いくつか余ったらしく、おかわりもできました。スナックやドリンクもあったので、満足でした。
帰りは、イルカ＆ホエールウォッチング三昧。ボートを怖がることも避けることもなく、中には並走する場面も！
イルカは、ジャンプしたり、ひねり技を見せてくれたり、大サービスでした。教えられたわけでもないでしょうに、どうしてそうするのか、不思議でした。
クジラは、ダイナミックに潮を噴き上げたり、尾びれを打ちつけたり…。最高だったのは、胸びれを何度も上げては水面を叩く様子。まるで「バイバイ！」って言っているようでした。クジラをあんなに間近で見られるなんて、感激しました。
すごく貴重な体験でした。スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました。
