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＞

With the pirates 海賊と共に

Reviewed by: Nobu

I wasn't really sure about rafting, but it turned out to be so much fun! So, we signed up for it as a pair. When we arrived at the site, we were greeted by a bright and cheerful female crew member, and as we headed to the boat, a cool captain was waiting for us, which got me excited.

Rafting was more intense than I expected, and the rubber boat tilted at about a 45-degree angle, which honestly took me by surprise! We had two snorkeling sessions, and there were also sights like Captain Cook Point and dolphin watching. Throughout it all, the crew member was smiling, and it was a rich experience within a relaxed atmosphere. During snorkeling, I got a bit carried away and jumped into the sea, accidentally dropping the pipe to the seabed, but when I saw the captain dive in coolly saying, "Leave it to me," I couldn't help but think, "Captain Kenway!"

Since it was a tour from morning until early afternoon, by the time we returned to the port, one side of my thighs was sunburned. I should have sat on the other side too, haha. I recommend applying sunscreen properly or bringing a large towel with you.

The T-shirts the crew wore were really cool, so my only regret is that I didn't buy one on the way back.

ラフティングってあまりピンとこなかったんだけど、楽しいから！って事で２人で申し込んだ。現地に着くと底抜けに明るいクルーの女性の挨拶があって船に向かうと渋い船長が待っていてワクワクした。
ラフティングは思ったよりも過激で、ゴムボートが４５度ぐらい傾いたので正直面食らった！
シュノーケルが２回、キャプテン・クックポイントやイルカに釣り見物なんかもあったけど終始クルーの女の子が笑っていて、ゆったりとした時間の中で内容の濃い物だった。シュノーケルの時、調子に乗って海に飛び込んでパイプを海底に落としちゃったんだけど、船長が「俺に任せろ。｣ってかっこよく飛び込んでくれたのを見た時は思わず「ケンウェイ船長！」って思ったよ。
朝からお昼過ぎまでのツアーなので港に帰るころには太ももが片側だけ焼けてしまった。反対側にも座れば良かったｗ　しっかり日焼け止めを塗るか大きめのタオルを持って行く事をお勧めします。
クルーが着ていたＴシャツがかなりかっこよかったので、帰りに買ってこなかったのが唯一の後悔です。

I got to meet a dolphin! イルカに会えた！

Reviewed by: Chigusa

I had met dolphins in places like Ogasawara before, but the dolphins I met here were small and really cute! I had been really looking forward to rafting, and it was even more fun than I expected, with the boat tilting quite a bit! The captain and the female crew member were very friendly, which made it easy to relax. When we were heading to a point, my hat got blown away by the wind, but they laughed and quickly went back to get it.

We went to a snorkeling point, and they contacted a fishing boat that was trolling to show us the catch, and we got to see dolphins too. The experience was really rich and I was never bored. The second snorkeling point we went to was especially beautiful, warm, and relaxing, leaving a strong impression.

On the way back, we had another thrilling rafting experience, and Captain Cook also provided explanations, which was fun. The lunch, chips, and fruits we had on the boat were also delicious and felt very refreshing! I want to participate again!!

いままで小笠原とかでイルカに会えたけど、ここで会えたイルカさん達は小さかったからかわいかった！
前からラフティングに興味があってすっごく楽しみだったけど、予想以上に船が傾いたりしてすごく楽しかった！　船長さんと女性のクルーさんもすっごく気さくな感じでリラックスできた。ポイントに行く時に帽子を風で飛ばされちゃったんだけど、笑いながらガーって戻ってくれた。
シュノーケルのポイント行ったり、トローリングしてる釣り船に連絡してくれて釣り上げる所を見せてくれたり、イルカを見たり内容がすごく濃くて全然飽きなかった。特に２ヶ所目に行ったシュノーケルポイントがとっても綺麗で暖かくてのんびりできて印象的でした。
帰りはまたまたラフティングですっごくドキドキしたけどキャプテン・クックさんの説明なんかもしてくれて楽しかったです。
あと船の上で食べるランチやチップス、フルーツも開放感があってすごくおいしかった！　また参加したいです！！

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＞

It was good. よかったです。

Reviewed by: ono

I attended on June 13th. I was disappointed that I arrived late to the venue and ended up with a seat at the back. The ritual of wrapping a whole pig in banana leaves and digging it out from the hot earth was impressive. The show by the seaside was unique to Hawaii, and everyone at the venue had a great time. The buffet meal was also satisfying.

６月１３日に参加しました。会場に行く時間が遅くなり席が後ろになってしまったのが残念でした。豚１頭をバナナの葉でくるんで熱い土の中から掘り出す儀式は、圧巻でした。海辺のサイドでのショーは、ハワイならではで会場は、皆で盛り上がり楽しかったです。バイキングの食事も満足でした。

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

Don't miss this adventure!

Reviewed by: KyLaura

Our kayaking trip was amazing! We were both first-timers, and our guide (Tori) did an excellent job explaining how to paddle, safety procedures, etc. if you're like me, you may be thinking, "You all say this is easy...but maybe you're just better at things than I am." Well, trust me: this is easy, fun, and wonderful. The trip was relaxing, and during the snorkeling part we saw lots of fish (yellow tang, parrot fish), an eel, and turtles. Once we got to the cliff and snack area, we also saw a mongoose! A note on the cliff: jump. Seriously, just do it. You will regret it if you don't.

In short, take this adventure! The staff are professional and friendly, and the activity itself is not to be missed. Thank you, Tori, for one of our favorite activities! You are awesome!

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＞

Absolutely beautiful! 最高にきれい！

Reviewed by: ヨシミヤ

Thoughts on participating in this tour:
1. There are times when you find yourself surrounded by foreigners, which can feel a bit uncomfortable.
2. I dived three times in total, but during the third dive, the water was deeper, and I couldn't see the beautiful underwater scenery as well. By the second dive, I was quite tired, so I was already full from diving.

Although I wrote some not-so-fun things above, the beauty of the Hawaiian sea during the first and second dives, especially the first dive, is amazing if the weather is good! You can see fish up close, and the coral is right in front of you!
Also, even if you can't speak English, one of the guides can speak some Japanese, so you don't have to worry too much. However, the explanations about the locations are given on printed materials beforehand, and I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't understand the live explanations.
One thing I want to caution participants about is that before going out to sea, you will go to the restroom, but it takes quite a while to get back to the restroom from there. Also, there are times when you accidentally swallow seawater while snorkeling, and in that case, you might end up drinking a lot of water.
So, you might have trouble finding a restroom.

このツアーに参加して思ったこと
１、周りが外人だらけになる場合があり肩身が狭いことが結構あります。
２、計３回ダイブしましたが、三回目は海の震度が深い場所でそれほど綺麗な海の中を見ることができませんでした。そして二回目以降は結構疲れているので海にもぐるのはもうお腹いっぱいでした。

上記にはあまり楽しくないようなことを書きましたが、ハワイの海の綺麗さは一回目と二回目のダイブ、特に一回目のダイブは天気が良ければ最高です！！
魚は近くで見れるし、サンゴも目の前！
また、英語がしゃべれなくてもガイドの一人は多少の日本語も喋れるのでそれほど深く考える必要はありません。ただ、場所の説明などは事前にプリントしたもので配られるますが、生の声での説明がわからないのでそこだけ残念でした。
ただ参加する人に注意しておきたいことは、海に出る前にトイレに行きますが、そこからトイレの場所に戻るまで相当時間がかかるのと、シュノーケリング中に間違って海水を飲むことがあり、その場合に水を飲むことが多いです。
なのでトイレに困るかもしれません。

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。

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."
