This cruise was totally awesome! We were able to snorkel at three different locations and the marine life was great, saw turtles and lots of fish. On the way back we saw a huge pod of spinner dolphins. My husband and I had a fantastic time, will definitely do this again.

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 felt amazing!! The view was incredible. 最高の気分！！すごい眺めでした

Reviewed by: tamiyo

I participated for the first time in Hawaii.

On the first day of our honeymoon, right after arriving in Hawaii, we headed to Kailua-Kona by rental car for parasailing. Our excitement skyrocketed instantly! We chose the deluxe course at a height of 244 meters, and the view from up there was absolutely breathtaking. Surrounded by the endless blue sky and ocean, we kept saying, "This is amazing!" It was truly a sight to behold.

While flying, the boat would turn and drop down close to the water's surface several times, adding to the fun. We went in jeans and T-shirts, but if you wear a swimsuit and say you're okay with getting wet, they will lower you down to where your feet touch the water. The rapid ascents and descents were quite thrilling, making it not just a scenic experience but also an exciting attraction! If you're feeling a bit apprehensive, I think you can still enjoy it at the lowest height. Even the middle height we chose felt quite high, so I wonder what the top height would be like... I would definitely like to try it again if I have the chance!

One thing to be cautious about is the safety checks at the reception and on the boat. If you're not confident in your English, it might feel a bit challenging, but especially regarding the instructions on "not touching the equipment" and "how to fasten the belt," I think it's important to confirm until you fully understand, even if you have to use gestures. The guide didn't speak Japanese, but explained everything carefully in English. They will teach you as many times as needed if you don't understand something. It's crucial not to just casually respond with "OK."

Once on the boat, you'll quickly find yourself in the middle of the ocean, and when you're ready, you'll soar into the sky... If you prepare yourself mentally to avoid panicking once you're up there, I believe anyone can enjoy it safely!

初めてのハワイで参加しました。

ハネムーン初日、ハワイ到着後すぐにレンタカーでカイルアコナに向かい、パラセイリングへ。ここで一気にテンションＭＡＸになってしまいました☆★
高さ２４４ｍのデラックスコースを選びましたが、空から見る景色は本当に本当に絶景で、どこまでも広がる青い空と海の中で、二人でただただ「すごいねぇ」を連発していました。まさに息をのむような光景だったと思います。

飛んでいる間は、何度かボートが曲がったり、高度を海面スレスレまで下げたりして楽しませてくれます。
私たちはジーパン＆Ｔシャツでいったのですが、水着を着ていて「濡れるの（ＷＥＴ)ＯＫだ」と言えば、足が水につくぐらいまで下げてくれるようです。急上昇＆急降下はけっこうスリリングなので、景色だけじゃなくアトラクションとしてもかなり魅力的でした！！
もし、「ちょっと怖いかな…」と思うようであれば、一番低い高度でも十分楽しめると思います。私たちの選んだ真ん中のでもかなりの高度だと感じたので、一番上だとどんな感じなのか…。また機会があれば、是非チャレンジしてみたいです！！


注意した方が良いのは、受付時とボートの上での安全確認です。英語に自信のない方はちょっと難しく感じるかもしれませんが、特にボート上で言われる「金具をさわらないこと」と「ベルトの締め方」については、ゼスチャー交じりでも良いので、納得できるまでしっかり確認をした方が良いと思います。
ガイドの方は日本語はできませんが、英語で丁寧に説明してくれました。こちらが理解できていないことは、何度でも教えてくれます。大切なのは、決して適当に「ＯＫ」と返事をしてしまわないことだと思います。

ボートに乗るとあっという間に海の真ん中に出て、準備ができれば一気に空の上…上にあがってから急にパニックにならないよう、落ち着いて心の準備をしておけば、誰でも安全に楽しめると思います！！

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＞

I had an amazing time!! めちゃめちゃ楽しかった！！

Reviewed by: tamiyo

I participated in this for the first time in Hawaii.

There are various snorkeling tours, and I was really torn, but choosing the raft boat this time was a great decision!

We set off with about 10 guests and 2 guides!! Right from the start, the speed and excitement were incredible!!! We raced over the waves, and it was so refreshing☆

At first, I was a bit worried it might be scary, but once I got on, it was surprisingly stable. Even though the driver maneuvered quite roughly (which was part of the fun), it was more manageable than I expected. The boat tilting during turns and sudden stops was really enjoyable!

The other participants were travelers from Europe and Mexico, and they were all mature couples. I was a bit surprised to see people who looked to be in their 50s and 60s wearing swimsuits and joining such an exciting tour. It was really impressive how active they were! I think there's no need to worry about it being "scary" at all!

The snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay was truly beautiful, with clear water and lots of different kinds of fish! We had plenty of time, and the fruit we had during the break was delicious☆ On the way to and from the snorkeling spot, we encountered a pod of dolphins swimming right next to and below us, and we also visited lava caves… it was a tour filled with fun, and it went by in a flash!!

I highly recommend this activity for both first-timers to Hawaii and repeat visitors!!!! I definitely want to do it again in Hawaii☆★

初めてのハワイで参加しました。

シュノーケルツアーはいろいろあって、すごく迷いましたが、今回のラフトボートは大正解でした！

10名程度の客と2名のガイドで出発！！…直後からすごいスピード＆迫力で大興奮！！！波の上を跳ねるように駆け抜けていって、とっても爽快でした☆

最初はちょっと怖いかなぁという心配もあったのですが、乗ってみたら意外な安定感で、運転手がけっこう荒い操縦をしても（楽しませるための演出ですが）思いのほか大丈夫でした。曲がるときや急ブレーキでボートが傾くのも、すごく楽しかった！

一緒に参加したのはヨーロッパやメキシコからの旅行者で、みんな熟年の夫婦の方ばかりでした。50~60歳以上と思われる方々が、水着を着てこんなエキサイティングなツアーに参加するなんて、本当にアクティブだなぁとちょっとビックリ。
それぐらいのツアーなので、「怖いかも」という心配はいらないと思います！

ケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングは、本当に水がキレイでいろんな種類の魚がたくさん見れました！時間もたっぷりあって、休憩で食べたフルーツが美味しかった☆
シュノーケリングスポットへの往復の間には、イルカの群れがよってきてすぐ横や下を泳いだり、溶岩洞窟を見に行ったり…楽しみいっぱいで、あっという間の満足ツアーでした！！

ハワイが初めてという方にも、リピーターの方にも、超オススメのアクティビティです！！！！
私も是非またハワイで、もう一回行きたい☆★

First, my mother, who was given a shell lei at the reception, looked very happy. In addition to the pleasure of dining outdoors while feeling the setting sun, we waited for the food to be prepared while observing the traditional Hawaiian oven, the imu, up close. We also experienced Hawaiian food culture, such as poi, and watched hula and Tahitian dances unfold right in front of us. It was all a first experience for my mother, and her eyes were sparkling with excitement. Even though she doesn't understand English, it seemed like she had a wonderful time, and I was really glad to see her enjoying it.

まず受付でシェルレイをかけてもらった母は大変嬉しそうにしていました。
野外で沈み行く夕日を感じながら食事をする気持ちよさに加え、ハワイ古来のオーブン「イム」を間近で見学しながら出来あがりを待ち、ポイなどのハワイの食文化にも触れ、目の前で繰り広げられるフラやタヒチアンの踊り、全てが初体験の母は目がキラキラしていました。英語が分からない母でもとても楽しんでくれたようで、その様子をそばでみれたのが嬉しかったです。

Both snorkeling and BBQ are amazing!! シュノーケルもBBQも最高！！

Reviewed by: teamringo

The photos on the website were exactly as they appeared. The seabed was densely covered with coral reefs, and there were plenty of fish. I visited other snorkeling points as well, but I felt that this spot had exceptionally high visibility, possibly due to the lack of sand being stirred up. The depth was not too deep, so I felt safe swimming. There was also a lot of time to swim freely. About an hour before lunch and several minutes after lunch. I was very satisfied. Above all, the BBQ for lunch was delicious! The meal was a hamburger buffet, where you could enjoy freshly grilled beef patties, fresh sliced tomatoes, onions, pickles, and more, all piled into buns as you liked. It was so delicious that I ended up eating two. The staff were very kind, and during the explanation of safety precautions, they provided a written document in Japanese, which made it easy to understand without any confusion. Thank you to all the staff. I highly recommend this to those who haven't participated yet.

HPに載っている写真のイメージそのままでした。
海底にはサンゴ礁がびっしり。魚もたくさん。
他のシュノーケルポイントにも行きましたが、ここのポイントは、砂の巻き上げがないせいか、透明度が非常に高いと感じました。深さも深くなく安心して泳ぐことが出来ました。
自由に泳ぐことが出来る時間も非常に多かったです。
昼食前に１時間程度、昼食後に数十分。大満足です。
何よりも、昼食のBBQの美味しい事！！
内容は、ハンバーガーブッフェで、
その場で網焼きされたビーフパティや、新鮮なスライストマト、オニオン、ピクルス等を好きなだけバンズに挟んで食すスタイル。あまりに美味しくて２つ食べてしまいました。

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＞

It's quite good. なかなかです。

Reviewed by: Katie

I participated on a weekday in early October before the triathlon competition. We were the only Japanese people there.

Unfortunately, we didn't see any dolphins, but the boat was spacious, and the restrooms were clean, so I was satisfied with the facilities. There were slides and diving boards, and the slide was particularly enjoyable even for adults.

The meals and drinks were well-prepared, and I had no trouble at all. The staff was friendly and provided snorkeling sets and wetsuits for rent.

We had plenty of time to enjoy snorkeling. However, the coral was located at a depth of about 5 to 10 meters, and I could only see the fish up close after diving deep. Even just floating on the surface, the water's clarity was excellent, allowing us to see the seabed well, but the fish were quite far away, which left me feeling a bit unsatisfied.

I think the boat was too large to anchor in very shallow areas. If you want to see the fish up close, diving might have been a better option.

１０月初旬でトライアスロン大会前の平日に参加しました。日本人は我々だけでした。
イルカは残念ながら見れませんでしたが、船がゆったりしていて、トイレもきれいで設備は満足でした。スライダーや飛び込み台があって、特にスライダーが大人でも楽しめました。
食事や飲み物もきちんとそろっていて全く困りませんでしたし、スタッフはフレンドリーでシュノーケルセットやウェットスーツ等も貸してくれます。
シュノーケルもたっぷり楽しむ時間がありました。ただ、水深５ｍ~１０ｍ位のところに珊瑚があって、深く潜ってやっと魚が近くに見える程度。水面でぷかぷか浮いて見るだけでも、海の透明度は抜群なので海底まで良く見えはしましたが、魚はとても遠くにいて、ちょっと不完全燃焼でした。
船が大きめなのであまり浅いところには停められないのだと思います。魚を近くで見たければダイビングがよかったかもしれません。

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

Enjoying snorkeling! シュノーケリングを満喫！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

In late September, when I traveled with my girlfriend, we participated in a snorkeling tour for two, as just lounging by the hotel pool and beach was a bit boring. Since we were staying in Kona, we gathered at the designated spot by rental car. The parking was limited and somewhat confusing, so we parked on the nearby street, but there seemed to be enough parking space available.

There were about 20 to 30 tour participants, mostly foreigners, with only two groups of Japanese, including us. However, throughout the tour, the staff was very friendly, and their explanations in English were clear and spoken slowly, which alleviated any anxiety or stress.

Once the cruise started, we traveled for about 30 minutes to the first snorkeling spot, where we enjoyed snorkeling and sunbathing for about an hour. During that time, a simple breakfast with bread was prepared, but the taste was not great...

We stayed at the second snorkeling spot for about an hour as well. They mentioned that if we were lucky, we might encounter sea turtles, but unfortunately, we didn't see any during our time. Lunch was then provided, and the hamburgers grilled on the boat were incredibly delicious and satisfying in portion size.

After that, we returned to the original port, which took about 30 minutes, and the tour concluded. Overall, it was exactly as I imagined a tour would be, and I think it’s a recommendable tour if you want to see beautiful fish while snorkeling. On the other hand, there was quite a bit of travel involved, so you can't really relax leisurely on the boat.

9月下旬に彼女と旅行に行った際に、ホテルのプール、ビーチだけではつまらないので、きれいな海でシュノーケリングをやる為に2名で参加しました。
コナに宿泊だったため、レンタカーで指定の場所に集合。駐車場は限りがあり、分かりにくかったため、近くの路上に駐車でしたが、十分な駐車スペースはある印象でした。
ツアー客は全部で20~30名ほどで、ほとんどが外国人で日本人は我々を含めて2組ほどです。でも、全体を通じてスタッフは非常に親切で、説明の英語も分かりやすく、ゆっくり話してくれるので、不安、ストレスはありません。
クルーズが開始すると、1つ目のポイントへ30分ほど移動し、1時間ほどシュノーケリング・日光浴を楽しみます。その間、パンなどの簡単な朝食が準備されますが、味はいまいち・・・。
2つ目のポイントでも1時間ほど留まり、シュノーケリングを楽しみました。運がよければウミガメに出会えるとのことでしたが、残念ながら我々の時は見つかりませんでした。そこで、ランチが用意されます。船上で焼いてくれるハンバーガーは最高においしく、量も満足のいくものでした。
その後、また30分ほどかけて元の港に戻って終了。
良くも悪くも想像通りツアーという印象で、シュノーケリングできれいな魚をみたいなどの希望があればおすすめできるツアーだと思います。一方で、移動が結構多いため、船上でゆっくりくつろぐとかはできません。

ケアウホウ湾　シーカヤック＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞by オーシャンサファリ・カヤック

It was the best experience! 最高の体験でした！

Reviewed by: Amor

This was my second time kayaking, but it was my first experience with sea kayaking. The weather was great, and the view of Hawaii Island from the sea was different from what you see from land. Paddling through the vast, deep blue ocean using only our own strength was a bit challenging for the two of us girls, but feeling the waves and wind made it a wonderful experience, reminding us that we are part of nature.

I communicated with the staff in English. However, they were very kind and spoke slowly with simple words or even in broken Japanese for my friend who doesn't speak English. While a typical tour aimed at Japanese tourists, which prioritizes safety and has everything planned out, might be nice, if you want to fully embrace the adventure on Hawaii Island, I absolutely recommend this!

If you plan to drive there yourself, I recommend checking the location in detail on Google Maps. The parking lot is a bit off the road and can be quite hard to find.

I definitely want to participate in more adventure-filled tours like this again!

カヤックは今回2回目でしたが、シーカヤックは初めての体験でした。
天気も良く、海からのハワイ島は陸から見るのとは違う景色でした。
真っ青などこまでも広い海を、船などではなく自分たちの力だけで漕いで行くのは女子二人ではちょっと大変でしたが、波や風を感じながら行くのは人間も自然の一部であるということを感じられて素晴らしい経験でした。
スタッフと私は英語での会話でした。でも英語ができない友人にはゆっくり簡単な単語や、カタコトでも日本語で話してくれますし、とっても親切に対応して頂きました。
よくある日本人向けのツアーのように全て決められて安全面など重視のツアーもいいかも知れませんが、せっかくのハワイ島。とことんアドベンチャーしてみたいなら絶対にオススメですっ！

ご自身で車を運転して行くなら、場所をgoogle mapなどで詳細まで調べて行くことをお勧めします。駐車場は道からちょっと入ったところなのですが、結構見つけにくいです。

ぜひまたこんなアドベンチャーいっぱいのツアーに参加してみたいです！

We participated in a snorkeling cruise as a couple. Since we were staying at the Royal Kona Resort, we drove to the meeting point with a rental car. It took about 15 minutes to arrive. The meeting point is located very close to the Sheraton Hotel. There is limited parking, so I recommend arriving early. There were about 40 participants, and aside from us, there were only two other Japanese couples. The boat was large, so we didn't feel cramped and could relax comfortably. I was worried because no one spoke Japanese, but as mentioned in other reviews, we were able to enjoy ourselves without any problems. We snorkeled at two points for just over an hour each. There were slightly fewer fish, but the water clarity was excellent, and it felt very refreshing. After the second snorkeling session, we had lunch. The freshly grilled cheeseburgers on the boat were very delicious. The meal was served buffet-style, where you could help yourself to the food. It seemed that alcohol was also available for purchase. After that, we leisurely cruised back to the harbor. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any dolphins, but we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves very much. The staff were all smiling and friendly, so it was a tour where we could participate with peace of mind, even without understanding the language.

夫婦でシュノーケルクルーズに参加しました。ロイヤルコナリゾートに滞在していたので、集合場所へはレンタカーで行きました。約１５分くらいで到着しました。ホテルシェラトンのすぐ近くに集合場所はあります。駐車場が少ないので早めに行くことをオススメします。参加者は約４０名ほどで、日本人は私たち夫婦以外に２組だけでした。大きな船なので窮屈に感じることはなくゆったりできました。日本語がまったく通じないので不安でしたが、他のレビューにもあるように何の問題もなく楽しむことが出来ました。シュノーケルは２つのポイントで各１時間ちょっとすることが出来ます。若干魚は少なめでしたが、透明度がよくとても気持ちがよかったです。２回目のシュノーケル後に昼食を頂きました。船上でグリルしたできたてのチーズバーガーはとてもおいしかったです。食事はセルフで自分でお皿に盛り付けていくスタイルでした。アルコールの販売も行っているようでした。その後ゆっくりクルージングしながら港へ帰りました。残念ながらイルカに出会うことはできませんでしたが、とてものんびり楽しむことができました。スタッフの方は皆笑顔で親切だったので、言葉は解らなくても安心して参加できるツアーでした。

When I decided to travel to Hawaii, I really wanted to go rafting, so I searched for this tour. Although Japanese was hardly understood, there was no problem at all thanks to the kind and cheerful responses from the captain and the female assistant. I was curious about the lack of a mention of swimsuits in the packing list, but it turned out I definitely needed one (laughs). I think wearing a T-shirt or a long-sleeved windbreaker over the swimsuit is a good idea.

While snorkeling, we encountered wild dolphins on the way back to the shore by boat! We had gone quite far, but the captain turned back, and I was thrilled to meet so many dolphins there!

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

Thankful for the wise horse. 賢い馬に感謝

Reviewed by: トマト

I was attracted to the course that crosses the river in the canyon and decided to participate. In the same group, there were American, Indian, Chinese, and two Japanese couples, all in their 20s to 30s.

From the meeting point, we took a car down a steep mountain road while overlooking the canyon, which was thrilling due to the narrowness of the road.

After signing the waiver at the horse area, we chose helmets (none of which were very clean, so it was better to choose quickly), and there was a 5 to 10-minute explanation about horseback riding. (Since my English skills are limited, I desperately gathered information from my husband. I was a bit worried if I couldn't get someone to interpret for me.)

We put the water we brought (which must be purchased at the meeting point as it is not sold at the stable) into a bag they provided (a pocket-like thing to hang on the horse's shoulder). Once you get on the horse, beginners won't have much leeway, so if you want to use a camera, it's recommended to hang it around your neck. By the way, make sure to use the restroom at the meeting point, as there won't be another opportunity until we return.

The horse I rode was a model student and always stayed close to the guide, so I could hear the guide's instructions. (However, it was very tough for me not to be able to respond to the guide due to my lack of English skills, haha.) The other horses were also generally well-trained and calm, so there shouldn't be any issues for those not used to horseback riding, but each horse has its own personality, such as those that stop to graze, those that want to go ahead, and those that try to take a different route, which adds to the fun of the tour.

We walked slowly along the mountain path, enjoying the plants and scenery for about two hours. The breeze was pleasant, making it a refreshing tour.

渓谷の川を渡るコースに魅力を感じこちらのコースに参加。
同じ回には、アメリカ人、インド系、中国系、日本×2組の、20代~30代のいずれもカップルが参加していた。

集合場所からは車にて、渓谷を見下ろしながら急な山道を降りて行くのだが、道幅も狭くなかなかスリリング。

馬のいる場所まで降りて誓約書にサインした後、ヘルメットを選び（どれもあまりキレイではなく出遅れずに早く選んだ方がいい感じ）、乗馬についての説明が5分~10分くらい。（私は英語力に乏しい為、必死で夫から情報収集。誰かに通訳してもらえない場合はちょっと心配。）

各自持参した水（集合場所では購入しておかなければ、馬小屋では売ってない）を、貸してくれる袋（馬の肩にかけるポケットのようなもの）に入れる。
また一度馬に乗ってしまうと初心者ではあまり余裕が無い為、もしカメラを使いたいなら首から下げておくのがおススメ。
ちなみにトイレも集合場所で済ませておきましょう。出発以降は戻ってくるまでないので。

私の乗った馬は優等生で、常にガイドの近くのポジションを取ってくれたため、ガイドの話が常に聞けた。（が、英語力がない為、ガイドに対して返答できないことが非常につらかった（笑）。）
他の馬たちも基本的にはよく訓練されていておとなしいので、乗馬に慣れていない人でも問題はないが、やはりそれぞれ個性があって、すぐに道草を食う馬、前に前に行く馬、違うルートに行こうとする馬などなど、どの馬に当たるかもこのツアーの楽しみか。

山の小道をゆっくり歩き、植物や景色を堪能しながら約2時間の行程。吹き抜ける風は気持ちよく爽やかさを感じられるツアーだった。

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＞

It was great! 良かったです！

Reviewed by: Yume

When we arrived at the meeting point on the pier, we immediately recognized the boat that was docked. The boat was clean, with tables and benches on the first floor, and only benches on the second floor. There was plenty of space to move around. We had a 4-year-old and a 6-year-old with us, and there were activities that everyone, from kids to adults, could enjoy, such as watching dolphins and riding in a boat shaped like a float. The staff were friendly and very attentive. They also provided wetsuits for both children and adults (each for $10). We were also soothed by the wonderful views, sea breeze, and music. I highly recommend it.

集合場所の桟橋に着くと、船がとまっているのですぐにわかりました。船はきれいで１階にはテーブルとベンチがあり、２階にはベンチのみ。スペースはかなりゆったりとしています。４歳と６歳の子供連れでしたが、イルカを見たり、浮き輪のような形のボートに乗ったり、子供から大人まで楽しめる内容です。スタッフもフレンドリーで、面倒見のよい方々ばかりでした。子供用と大人用のウェットスーツも借してくれます。（１つ１０ドル）素晴らしい景色と海風と音楽にも癒されました。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＞

I am very satisfied! ☆ 大満足です☆

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Upon arriving at the hotel on the Big Island, I immediately made a phone call to confirm my reservation, but I could only communicate in English and couldn't effectively ask about directions to the meeting point, so I gave up and hung up. Fortunately, it seems they kindly contacted the Japanese desk at the hotel for me, and I was able to get assistance from the Japanese desk. I decided to take a taxi to the meeting point.

When we arrived at the meeting point, we were the only Japanese customers there. Once we boarded the boat and set off, I couldn't help but scream with excitement at the incredible speed. It was so much fun! I'm glad I wore sunglasses because the wind was strong.

After a while, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and I was thrilled to see them jump in front of us like in a dolphin show at an aquarium. The clarity of the water in Kealakekua Bay was amazing, and I took various pictures of the fish with my waterproof camera while snorkeling. An American child on board was having fun jumping off the boat. We took a little break on the boat to enjoy sandwiches, fruits, and snacks.

After that, we went to see various caves and felt the greatness of nature. There was an explanation in English about the history of the Big Island along the way, so I recommend that those who don't understand English read the Japanese pamphlet provided before boarding.

It was a tour that exceeded my expectations, and I was very satisfied!☆

　ハワイ島のホテルに着いてさっそく予約確認の電話をかけましたが英語しか通じず集合場所までの行き方についての質問をうまく伝えられずに諦めて電話を切りました。するとご親切にもホテルのジャパニーズデスクに連絡してくだっさったようでジャパニーズデスクに対応してもらいタクシーで集合場所まで行くことにしました。
　無事集合場所に到着すると日本人のお客さんは私たちだけでした。いざボートに乗り込み出発するとすごいスピードでキャーキャー叫んでしまいました。すごく楽しいです！風が強いのでサングラスをしていて良かったです。
　しばらく行くとイルカの群れに遭遇し水族館のイルカショーのような大ジャンプが目の前で見られて感激しました。
　ケアラケクア湾の透明度はすばらしくシュノーケリングをしながら防水カメラでいろんな魚を撮りました。一緒に乗っていたアメリカ人の子供はボートから飛び込みをしたりして楽しんでいました。ボートの上でサンドイッチとフルーツ、スナック菓子をいただきちょっと休憩。
　その後、いろんな洞窟を見に行き、自然の偉大さを実感しました。
　途中ハワイ島の歴史について英語で説明がありますので英語がわからない方は乗船前にもらえる日本語の説明書を熟読しておくことをおすすめします。
　期待以上に楽しいツアーで大満足でしたぁー☆

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

Works great for kids

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We had a great time as a family on this cruise. My kids (ages 10 and 13) swim, but I was still nervous about them with snorkeling gear in open water for 1.5 hours. Turns out I had no need to worry. They have these great flotation devices you can buckle around their torsos that gives them about 50% flotation, and my kids enjoyed having these on so they didn't have to expend much energy swimming and could enjoy the fish. I'm a marginal swimmer--ok in pools but little experience in open water, and I had a great time also--put on a flotation device around me and didn't worry a bit. I probably could have continued snorkeling another hour. The kids enjoyed sliding off the boat slides into the bay also. Highly recommend.

野生のマンタ　シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞

It requires quite a bit of stamina. かなり体力が要ります

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Floating in the night sea for 45 minutes while being tossed by the waves, even while holding onto something, takes quite a bit of stamina. I wondered if I really needed to wear a life jacket. The day we went, the waves might have been a bit rough.

I took motion sickness medication, but the waves were so rough that I got seasick and returned to the boat a little earlier than others. At the very least, it's a good idea to remember some English like "I wanna go back to the boat. I'm tired." The staff will help you when returning, but for the few meters until you grab the rope, you'll have to swim on your own in open water, which could be tough if you're not a strong swimmer... I think it's better to return with a bit of energy left. It was a more demanding activity than I expected.

The manta rays came quite close, which was great. Since seaweed and debris can get tangled in your hair while floating, wearing a swim cap helps prevent that and also makes the mask straps more comfortable. The English explanations weren't difficult, so you'll be fine.

何かにつかまりながらとはいえ、夜の海で波に揉まれながら45分浮いているのは、結構体力がいります。救命胴衣は着けなくていいのかな？と思う位でした。私たちが利用した日は、少し波が荒かったのかもしれません。

酔い止めを飲んで行きましたが、波が荒くて酔ってしまい、他の人より少し早く船に戻りましたが、少なくとも"I wanna go back to the boat. I'm tired."位の英語は覚えていった方がいいです。戻る時はスタッフが手伝ってくれますが、ロープにつかまるまでの数mは、何もない所を自力で泳ぐことになるので、カナヅチだと厳しいかも...少し余力を残した状態で戻った方がいいと思います。思っていたよりお気楽ではないアクティビティでした。

マンタそのものは、すぐ近くまで来てくれて良かったです。海に浮いている藻や屑が髪に絡まるため、水泳用の帽子をかぶっておくと、引っ掛かりにくいし、マスクのゴムも痛くないです。英語の説明は、難しい事は言っていないので、大丈夫です。

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

Dolphin cruising イルカとクルージング

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Cruising while being blown by the sea breeze was very pleasant. The view of Hawaii Island from the ocean was also wonderful. Along the way, a pod of about five or six dolphins came close and swam right by us, which was a bit moving. The snorkeling was beautiful with its blue waters, but it was a bit disappointing that there weren't many fish. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable the cruising was, and I felt glad to have participated.

潮風に吹かれながらのクルージングはとても気持ちよかったです。海から見るハワイ島の景色もすばらしかったです。途中イルカも５，６頭寄ってきてすぐそこを泳いでいるのが見れてちょっと感動でした。シュノーケルは青くてきれいでしたが、ちょっと魚がいない感じでそこは残念でしたが、クルージングが意外に気持ちよくて参加してよかったと思いました。

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

It was a valuable and satisfying experience. 貴重で満足な体験でした

Reviewed by: cfu15270

You will need a means of transportation, such as a rental car, to reach the tour meeting point. Since it was an English tour, I could hardly understand what the female instructor and guide was saying.

However, we enjoyed the descent to the bottom of Waipi'o Valley in a 4WD with a 25-degree slope (it's quite difficult to reach the bottom of Waipi'o unless you're in good shape). After selecting a horse and receiving a very simple explanation (which I didn't understand much of in English), we began our horseback riding.

We crossed a river that was knee-deep and enjoyed riding on paths that cars couldn't access. The horses are well-trained, so even as first-time riders, they walked on their own. Occasionally, they would playfully interact with other horses, which made them excited, but pulling on the reins calmed them down.

It was a satisfying tour with the deep nature of Waipi'o and the valuable horseback riding experience. I believe it would have been even more satisfying if participants were paired with friendly horses. During the ride, our horses were quite far apart, making it difficult for us to converse.

ツアーの集合場所までは、レンタカーなど移動手段が必要です。英語ツアーなので、女性のインストラクター兼ガイドさんの言っていることは、ほとんど理解できませんでした。
が、ワイピオ渓谷の下まで２５度の斜度のくだりを４ＷＤで楽しみ（よほどの健脚でないとワイピオの下までは無理）、馬を選んでくれて、ほんとに簡単な説明（英語であまり理解できませんでしたが）の後、乗馬開始。
膝まで浸かる様な川を渡ったり、車の通れないような道の乗馬を楽しみました。
馬は調教されているので乗馬初体験の夫婦でも、馬が勝手に歩いてくれました。たまに他の馬にちょっかいを出し合ったりし、馬が興奮しますが手綱を引けば落ち着いてくれました。
ワイピオの深い自然と乗馬体験という貴重な経験で満足いくツアーでした。
馬の選定時に、同じ参加者同士に仲の良い馬を与えてもらえれば、もっと満足のいくものであったと思います。
乗馬中は、夫婦の乗った馬が離れていて、夫婦間の会話がほとんどできませんでした。
