Dolphin swim ドルフィンスイム

Reviewed by: いるか

I thought I was fine since I had already seen dolphins in Honolulu, but when my schedule opened up, I quickly changed my plans to join. Since it was a small group, the price was a bit higher, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. I never thought I would be able to do a dolphin swim, but surprisingly, I was able to! I wore longer fins, and a female staff member guided me underwater, allowing me to catch up with the pod of dolphins several times. It was truly moving. I don't think I'll have an experience like this again. I felt that the small group size contributed to it. The dolphins in Honolulu were just passing by, so swimming with them was quite far from reality. Also, the wetsuits need to be reserved in advance, so the water can get quite cold, so don't forget if you need one. The sun is strong, but it can get pretty chilly while moving around. There was no mention of tips, but since it's Hawaii, I was encouraged to pay the captain, so I did. I happened to have cash on hand, which was good, but I think it would help everyone if it was mentioned in advance. It was a very valuable experience. Thank you very much.

イルカはホノルルで見たからもういいかなと思っていたのですが、日程が開いたので急遽予定変更で参加しました。少人数なのでお値段は少し高めでしたが、十分に楽しめました。ドルフィンスイムなんてあり得ないと思っていましたが、なんとなんと出来ましたよ。長めのフィンを装着し、女性のスタッフが水中で手引きして下さり、イルカの群れにグングンと追いつく事が数回出来ました。感動感動でした。こんな経験はもうないだろうなと思います。少人数だからこそかなとも感じました。ホノルルのイルカは移動中だったので一緒に泳ぐとは程遠いかったです。またウエットは事前予約なので海中は結構冷えますから必要な方はお忘れなく。日差し強いですが移動中は結構冷えます。またチップの記載が無かったのですがハワイですからキャプテンに払う様に促されたので、支払いました。たまたま持ち合せていたので良かったですが、必要であれば記載していてくれると皆さん助かると思います。とても貴重な経験でした。ありがとうございました。

Dear Iruka,

Thank you very much for participating in our tour this time. Hearing the word "moving" from our customers connects to our own emotions. The day you joined us was filled with excitement as we encountered not only the striped dolphin but also the rough-toothed dolphin and the false killer whale. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the tips. We look forward to seeing you again on another occasion.

いるか様。今回は弊社のツアーにご参加くださり誠にありがとうございます。お客様から”感動”というお言葉を聞くことが私共の感動に繋がります。いるか様にご参加いただいた日はハシナガイルカの他にマダライルカ、オキゴンドウにも遭遇してワクワク感いっぱいの日でしたね。また、チップについてのご指摘ありがとうございます。またの機会にお会いできますこと楽しみにいたしております。

Deluxe Captain Cook Snorkeling Tour at Kealakekua Bay - Fair Wind Cruises

Load up the cattle, Pa! We're goin' a snorklin'!

Reviewed by: eyeballs

The Good:
The snorkeling was amazing, right by the capt. cook monument, lots of fish and coral to be seen. The staff was VERY friendly and accommodating to the needs of the clients (snorkeling alternatives for the scared/claustrophobic, flotation devices, vast selection of equipment). The food was better than expected (continental breakfast followed by a hot dog or a well done BBQ cheeseburger, very thin but acceptable.) Booze was reasonably priced.

The Bad:
The boat was at MAXIMUM capacity. SNUBA is an extra $70 (surprise!) There is a dude videotaping the whole thing and semi-forcably interviewing EVERYONE (even the very socially uncomfortable, myself) who seemed very used-car-salesmanly. He sold his DVD for $70, even though it seemed like mostly stock footage.

The Verdict:
Would not do again. Should be 50% cheaper or 50% less crowded. If you really just want to see some fish buy yourself a snorkel and mask and get yourself to the capt. cook monument via hike or kayak

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

Waipi'o Valley, horseback riding is the best! ワイピオ渓谷、乗馬最高!

Reviewed by: Mayu

Last year, I participated in a horseback riding tour that went up Waipi'o Valley, so this year I joined a tour that explored the valley below, and the lower course was definitely more fun!
In particular, crossing a river that was about waist-deep on the horse, with my feet lifted up in the stirrups, was truly thrilling and enjoyable.
I have a British-style riding license, but I found Western riding to be very enjoyable as well.
The staff brought a lot of organic fruits like avocados and starfruit to share with us.
The horses were well-trained, so I felt safe while riding.
They were all very well-behaved horses.
I highly recommend it!!

去年はワイピオ渓谷を登っていく乗馬ツアーに参加したので、今年は渓谷の下を散策するツアーに参加しましたが、下のコースの方が断然楽しいです!
特に、馬の腰ぐらいまである深さの川を、足を鐙ごと上にあげて川を渡ったのは本当にスリリングで楽しかったです。
ブリティッシュスタイルのライセンスを持っている私ですが、ウエスタン乗りも非常に楽しかったです。
スタッフがアボガドやスターフルーツなどオーガニックフルーツをたくさん採ってきて振舞ってくれます。
お馬も良く調教されてるから、安心してライディングできました。
おりこうなお馬ばかりでした。
とてもおススメです!!

Guided Waipio Valley Horseback Riding & Waterfall Tour [Closed]

What waterfall?

Reviewed by: Peggy

My daughter and I really enjoyed horseback riding through Waipio Valley. Just be warned that if it is the dry sesson, you won't see any waterfalls. We did see lots of water though in addition to taro fields, wild horses and plenty of beautiful scenery. Our guides, Dava and Robert were entertaining, yet professional. I highly recommend this tour, as many people try to hike down into the valley and don't get far. Then they have to walk back up that very steep road! One warning. Do wear long pants or some sort of insect repellant. We were told there were no mosquitos but my daughter and I both returned with lots of bites.

Second visit to Kealakekua Bay. 2回目のケアラケクア湾

Reviewed by: MARIKO

Last year, three adults participated in the morning tour. It was so good that we decided to join again. This year, since my grandchild is with us, we participated in the afternoon tour with a shorter snorkeling time. It seems the weather is better in the morning, but we still had a great time even with a little cloud cover. My grandchild enjoyed looking underwater with the mat that has a glass viewing window and was able to see many fish! Kealakekua Bay is truly beautiful! Next time, I want to join the morning tour again where we can enjoy snorkeling twice.

去年は大人3人で午前のツアーに参加。とても良かったので再度の参加を決めました。今年は孫が一緒なのでスノーケル時間の短い午後のツアーに参加しました。午前中の方がお天気はいいようですが、少し曇でも十分楽しめました。孫もガラスの覗き窓のついたマットでずっと海中を覗いて魚がたくさん見れたようで楽しんでくれました♪ケアラケクア湾は本当に綺麗です♪次回はスノーケルが2回楽しめる午前のツアーにまた参加したいです。

I participated because I really wanted to see dolphins in Hawaii for the first time. I even got to see a baby dolphin, and snorkeling was comfortable. The ocean was so beautiful and enjoyable that I lost track of time. However, I wonder if it was because I couldn't sleep the night before? I got really seasick ( ̄O ̄;).

If there's a next time, I want to participate after getting a good night's sleep ( ̄^ ̄)ゞ.

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

The scenery is beautiful. 景色が良いです

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated in a 1.5-hour course with a group of five, including two of us and three American family members. We leisurely progressed in a single line through a very spacious and pleasant ranch. Perhaps because there were children, we mostly walked at a slow pace. They also gave us time to stop and take photos along the way. The riding time was exactly one and a half hours. It was fun, but I thought that a 2.5-hour ride might get boring.

私達2名、アメリカ人の親子グループ3名の計5名で、1.5時間コースに参加しました。とても広々として気持ちの良い牧場を、概ね1列になってのんびり進みます。お子さんもいたからかほとんど並足でした。途中立ち止まって写真を撮る時間も取ってくれます。乗っている時間はちょうど1時間半でした。楽しいですが、2.5時間だと飽きるかもしれないと思いました。

This is a great day for an experienced snorkler and, at the same time, individuals less confident in the water. An abundence of sea life, including a manta, a great beach and beautiful vista were all part of the experience. Followed by a smooth but good sail home, it was enough but not too much for a first morning after a late arrival. Food good, crew great and helpful, equipment good and boat comfortable - great for the activity type and well maintained. All in all, a very good experience.

Beautiful sea and delicious hamburgers. 美しい海とおいしいハンバーガー

Reviewed by: benimama

We participated as a mature couple. Despite putting in the effort to scout the day before, we made the mistake of forgetting to reconfirm, which made us a bit anxious on the day of the event. However, we passed through the check-in without any issues.

The boat was surprisingly large and didn't sway too much, but there were some people who got seasick, so motion sickness medication might be essential. Most of the passengers were Westerners. There were a couple and a family from South Korea, but we were the only Japanese. All the explanations were in English, which went right over my head. However, it was fine as long as I carefully read the Japanese instructions handed out at check-in.

Kealakekua Bay has exceptional clarity. We enjoyed a luxurious time playing with beautiful fish. Previously, I had dived at various resorts as a resort diver, but I was moved by the beautiful underwater scenery after a long time. The weather was good, and the light shone through, making the corals and colorful fish sparkle. This was the first time I felt so satisfied with snorkeling.

The hamburger for lunch was very delicious, and I couldn't help but ask for a second serving. If I come back to the Big Island, I would love to see that beautiful sea again.

熟年夫婦で参加しました。前日に下見をするほど念を入れたのに、うっかりリコンファームを忘れるという失態。当日、ヒヤヒヤしたものの問題なく受付通過。

船は意外に大きく揺れもそれほどではなかったですが、船酔いした人がいたので酔い止めは必携かもしれません。乗客は欧米人がほとんど。韓国人のカップルとファミリーはいたものの日本人は私たちだけ。説明は全て英語で、私の耳を素通りしていきました。重要事項は受付で渡された日本語の説明書を熟読すれば大丈夫です。

ケアラケクア湾は透明度抜群。キレイな魚たちと遊ぶ贅沢な時間を堪能しました。以前、リゾートダイバーで色々なリゾートで潜りましたが、久しぶりに美しい海中の光景に感動。天候が良かったこともあり、光が差し込みキラキラ輝くサンゴと色とりどりの魚たち。シュノーケルでここまで満足したのは初めてです。

昼食のハンバーガーはとっても美味で、思わずおかわりしてしまいました。またハワイ島に来ることがあれば、もう一度あの美しい海を見たいと思います。

I had a great experience. 良い経験ができました。

Reviewed by: yumio

I participated alone in August. I was told to confirm by phone at 4 PM on the day of the event, so I called, but it seemed that it wasn't particularly necessary, which surprised me. It seems that it's not needed unless the weather is particularly dangerous.

After going to the office and completing the check-in, they lend you a wetsuit in the next room without saying anything. After that, you go to the place where the boat departs on your own. The directions are simple, but I ended up getting lost unexpectedly. In fact, there were people who got lost and couldn't make it in time, so I think those who lack confidence should allow themselves plenty of time to get there.

The entire process is in English, but there aren't any detailed instructions, so if you have the guts, you'll be fine. It's a valuable experience. By the way, there were participants who couldn't swim and children as well.

After getting in the water, your body gets quite cold, so a towel and something to wear over yourself are essential. Even in August, my teeth were chattering.

8月に1人で参加しました。
当日の4時に電話で確認をとのことだったので、電話してみましたが、特に必要じゃないようで、かえってビックリされました。特に天候が危ない感じとかじゃなければ必要なさそうです。
事務所に行って、受付を済ますと、何も言わなくても隣の部屋でウエットスーツを貸してくれます。その後、自分で船が出る場所まで行きます。道順は簡単なのですが、あっけなく迷いました。実際、道に迷って間に合わず参加できなかった人たちもいたので、自信が無い人は余裕をもって行ったほうがいいと思います。
全行程英語ですが、特に細かい指示もないので、度胸があれば大丈夫です。価値のある経験ができます。
ちなみに、泳げない人や子供の参加していました。
水につかった後はかなり体が冷えるのでタオルと羽織るものは欠かせません。8月でも歯がカタカタいいました。

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

The view was amazing. 眺めが最高でした

Reviewed by: みーや

This is a horseback riding experience in a very spacious pasture that spreads across the mountainside at an elevation of about 1,000 meters along the Kohala Mountain Road. I aimed for the meeting point by rental car, but there were hardly any houses along the mountain road, which made me feel a bit uneasy as I ventured deeper into the area. However, I was able to easily find the entrance shortly after passing the milestone as directed. There is a reception area a little further up the slope. Since there was already a customer's car parked there, I had no trouble finding it. This reception area is also at a high elevation and offers a great view, but the tour begins after you go further up and around the gentle mountainside. The reception building has a cabin-like style, but it is by no means dirty, and there are Japanese signs, so filling out the paperwork was not particularly difficult. The instructor, a Caucasian woman, can speak a little broken Japanese, but all other instructions are given in English. After borrowing a helmet and listening to the explanation on how to ride the horse, we immediately started riding. The horse was very easy to ride, and there was nothing dangerous about it. Along the way, we could take photos while moving and enjoy at our own pace. Gradually, we ascended, and the view from the horse was very good, allowing us to see the coastline towards Waikoloa in the distance. It would not be an exaggeration to call it a horseback riding and sightseeing tour rather than just a simple horseback riding tour. The weather was clear and comfortable, but the wind was quite strong, making a long-sleeved jacket essential. In my case, I wore a windbreaker, but it made a rustling sound in the wind, which seemed to make the horse nervous, so I was asked if I had a sweater before we set off. Since I had no other clothes, I borrowed a sweater from the locker room before departing. I realized that attention to clothing is necessary.

海抜約1000メートル地点を行くコハラマウンテンロード沿いから、さらに上の山腹に広がる、大変広々とした牧草地での乗馬です。レンタカーで集合場所を目指しましたが、途中のマウンテンロード沿いには人家はほとんどなく、どんどん奥地へ進んで行く気がして、少し不安になりますが、案内どおりに目標のマイルポストを過ぎてしばらくした地点に、簡単に入口を見つけることができました。そこからさらに少し斜面を上がったところに、受付があります。先客の乗用車が既に駐車していたので迷うことはありませんでした。この受付場所付近でも、標高が高く、とても眺めの良い場所なのですが、ここからさらに、上の方へなだらかな山腹を回るとツアーになります。受付の建物は山小屋風ですが、決して汚くはなく、日本語の表示もあり、書類の記入も特に困ることはありませんでした。インストラクターの白人女性は、片言の日本語を少し並べることはできますが、それ以外の案内はすべて英語で行われます。ヘルメットを借り、馬の乗り方の説明を聞いたら、すぐに乗馬開始です。とても乗りやすい馬で、危ない思いをするようなことはありません。途中、移動しながら写真を撮ったり、自分たちのペースで楽しませてくれます。しだいに高度を上げていき、馬上から見る眺めが大変見晴らしが良く、遠くワイコロア方面の海岸線も見渡せます。単純な乗馬ツアーというよりも、乗馬&見晴らしツアーと言っても過言ではないくらいです。ずっと晴天で快適ではありましたが、風はかなり強く、長そでの上着は必須アイテムです。私の場合、ウインドブレーカーを着て行ったのですが、風に吹かれるとウィンドブレーカーがカシャカシャと音を立て、馬が神経質になるらしく、出発前にセーターはないのかと言われました。他に服はなかったので、ロッカールームでセーターを借りて、出発することになりました。服装には注意が必要だと思いました。

We traveled at high speed while sitting on the edge of the boat. This meant we faced away from the water and had to turn sideways to look in the direction we were going. To see the surface of the water or what lay ahead, we had to turn our necks. Fortunately, it wasn't crowded, so I was able to sit at an angle and change my posture as needed. A white woman sitting in front of me lost her hat when the boat sped up. The captain caught it on the spot, so there was no issue, but it might be better to wear a swimming cap from the start.

The destination, Kealakekua Bay, is home to many colorful fish and a diverse underwater landscape that keeps things interesting. However, guests on the tour from the sea are not allowed to disembark on the land where the Captain Cook statue is located. We couldn't spend too long underwater, and since I was getting hungry, when we returned to the boat, the captain cut up some fresh pineapple for us. The freshly cut fruit on the boat was delicious. The lunch sandwiches were just average in taste.

On the way back, we toured points of the lava formations, but the term "Lava Cave Adventure" in the tour name is a bit exaggerated. We didn't pass through any long cave-like structures. While listening to the English explanations, we observed the unique topography of the volcanic island. I thought it would be difficult to understand everything without a certain level of language skills. This tour offers not only the highlight of snorkeling but also the chance to spot dolphins and whales from the boat, along with the thrill of high-speed travel, making it a very rich experience. However, since you'll be outside all day under the blazing sun, it's essential to take adequate sun protection measures. By the way, I forgot to apply sunscreen on my thighs, and while moving around on the boat, direct sunlight hit that area the whole time, causing my skin to turn bright red.

ボートの周囲のへりの部分に腰かけた状態で、高速で航行します。ですので、水面に背を向けて、進行方向に対して横の方を向いて座ります。途中、水面を見たり、進路の先を見るには首を回さなければなりません。幸い、満員ではなかったので、適当に斜めに座ったり、適宜姿勢を変えたりして、移動しました。目の前の白人女性の参加者は船がスピードを上げた際に帽子を飛ばされていました。その場で船長がキャッチしたので事なきをえましたが、帽子は、スイミングキャップを最初から被っていた方が良いかもしれません。目的地のケアラケクア湾は水中にカラフルな魚がたくさんいますし、海底の光景も変化に富んでいて飽きません。ただし、海上からのツアーで訪れた客は、キャプテンクック像のある陸地には上がっていけないことになっています。それほど長い時間、水中だけで過ごす訳にもいかず、お腹もすいたので、ボートに戻ると、船長がその場でパイナップルを切り分けて出してくれます。船の上で食べる切り立てのフルーツがおいしかったです。ランチのサンドイッチは、まあ普通の味です。帰りは溶岩地形のポイントを巡りながら出発地点に戻るのですが、ツアー名にあるような「溶岩洞窟アドベンチャー」という言い方は少々大げさです。細長い洞窟みたいな中を通って抜けるようなこともありません。英語の説明を聞きながら、火山島ならではの独特な地形の観察をしていきます。ある程度の語学力がないと、全部を理解するのは難しいと思いました。このツアーは、目玉のシュノーケルだけでなく、船上からイルカやクジラを眺めるチャンスもあり、高速航行でのスリルあり、大変盛りだくさんの中味の濃いツアーだと思います。ただし、一日中、炎天下にいますので、日焼け対策は十分にしていく必要があります。ちなみに、私の場合、膝上部分に日焼け止めを塗るのを忘れていたところ、船上での移動中、ずっとそこに直射日光が当たっていて、皮膚が真っ赤になりました。

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>

I was very satisfied, but I got tired from sitting in the same position for a long time. 大変満足、でも同じ姿勢で座り続けるのが疲れました

Reviewed by: みーや

I was able to fully enjoy the charm of the sea and nature on the Big Island. I chose this tour with the goal of snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, and the round trip to the bay was not just a simple transfer; there were many enjoyable experiences along the way. On the way there, we spotted a pod of dolphins right after leaving the marina, and then we accelerated and headed south. Just when I thought we were going quite far offshore, we were guided to a group of whales. It was my first experience seeing whales up close. The boat was at a height where I could almost touch the water with my fingertips, so even though we were on the boat, the dolphins and whales were quite close. After that, we arrived at Kealakekua Bay. Other tour boats had already arrived, and there were quite a few people there. Those imagining a private swimming experience in a less crowded sea might be disappointed, but I appreciated having people around, as it allowed me to swim comfortably even in deeper areas without feeling nervous. Looking underwater, I could see the seafloor sloping from shallow to deep like a cliff, which was clear and very beautiful. However, it was quite cold even though it was August. Staying in the water for a long time might be a bit tough. When we returned to the boat, we were served lunch, which included drinks, cookies, potato chips, sandwiches, and freshly cut pineapple. The portions weren't very large, so those with big appetites might want to bring their own food. There was a little time to swim after lunch, but some people chose to rest on the boat instead. On the way back, unlike the trip there, we headed north while closely observing the coastline. Along the way, we observed the rugged terrain typical of the Big Island from the sea, and enjoyed views of Kahalu'u Beach Park and the city of Kona as we made our way to the harbor. After experiencing some sudden accelerations and turns, we said our final goodbyes to the pod of dolphins and landed back at the marina. Since all the explanations were in English, it was difficult to understand everything. However, I found that asking questions in my limited English and engaging in some communication helped the crew take care of us better. I think it's better to be proactive in conversation rather than staying silent. I was very satisfied when we disembarked, but since I had been holding the same position for a long time, I felt tired afterward. I realized that it’s also necessary to intentionally change positions and stretch on the boat.

ハワイ島の海と自然の魅力を満喫できました。ケアラケクア湾でシュノーケルするのが目的でこのツアーを選んだのですが、湾までの往復も単なる移動ではなく色々なことが楽しめました。行きはマリーナを出てすぐのところでイルカの群れを見学し、その後は加速して進路を南へ。ずいぶん沖合を南下していると思ったら、クジラの群れの所まで案内してくれました。至近距離でクジラを見るのは初めての体験です。手を伸ばせば水面に指先が入るくらいの高さのボートなので、船上からとはいえ、イルカやクジラがかなり近いです。そしてその後にケアラケクア湾に到着。他のツアーの船も既に到着していて、先客がそれなりにいます。人の少ない海で貸切状態で泳ぐのを想像している人はがっかりするかもしれませんが、私は周囲に人がいてくれるので、深いところでも安心して泳ぐことができ、緊張せずに楽しめ良かったです。水中を眺めていると、浅いところから深いところに向けて海底が崖のようになっているのが、遠くまでクリアに見え、とても幻想的で美しかったです。ただ8月なのに、かなり寒くなって
きます。長時間ずっと水中にいるのは少々つらいかもしれません。船上に戻ると、飲み物、クッキー、ポテトチップ、サンドイッチ、その場でカットしたパイナップルというランチが出ました。量はそれほど多くありませんので、大食いの人は持参の食料が必要かもしれないと思いました。食後も少し泳ぐ時間がありますが、泳がず船上で休んでいる人もいました。そして帰路は、行きと異なり、海岸線を間近に見ながら出発地点へと北上します。途中、溶岩地帯ではハワイ島らしいゴツゴツとした地形を海上から観察したり、カハルウビーチパークやコナの市街地を眺めつつ、港を目指します。途中、急加速したり、旋回したり曲芸航行のような体験をした後、イルカの群れに最後のお別れをして、マリーナに上陸です。説明が全部英語だったので、内容をすべて理解するのは難しかったです。ただつたない英語でもこちらから質問をしたり、ある程度のコミュニケーションを取った方が、クルーも色々と面倒を見てくれます。黙っているより積極的に対話を心がけるのが良いと思いました。とても満足して港に降り立ちましたが、ずっと同じ姿勢で踏ん張っていたので、あとから疲れが出てきました。船上で、意図的に姿勢を変えたり、体をほぐしたりすることも必要だなと思いました。

Whenever I stay in Hawaii, I make it a point to participate in a luau and dinner on the last night of my stay. This time, the luau at the King Kamehameha Hotel had the best location and food! When I stay on the Big Island again, I would love to participate once more.

ハワイに滞在するときは毎回滞在最後の晩にはルアウ&ディナーに参加するようにしています。今回キングカメハメハホテルのルアウはロケーションも料理も最高のものでした!
ハワイ島に滞在するときは、また参加したいと思います。

Day Trip from Kona to Oahu - Complete Pearl Harbor Tour with Lunch & Airfare Included

A very special place to see

Reviewed by: Martin

An amazing place to visit and the tour guide was excellent. Only problem was very poor coordination in getting us from Big Island to Oahu - no information on who to meet or where to go. We ended up having to phone the tour operator when we arrived in Oahu. After that though the day was amazing.

Stunning beauty and fascinating cultural legacy! We had been before with another company. Both were equally as great, but we didn't book ahead this time. Online-no luck...but when I called the 800 number, Reid Oshiro w Veltra helped with concierge service. Booked my party of 10, emailed and phoned me to confirm, etc. Reid, you were our hero of our week on Hawaii! Before or after your HB trip have lunch at the local pizza place in Waipio and shop the couple of nick-nack shops. Ten mins from trails. Really great food! Nice day!
