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。

Reviewed by: ふらぴよ

I had some anxiety about the announcements being in English only, but on that day, there happened to be a Japanese group with us, and the guide translated for us, so there were no problems at all.

Kealakekua Bay was amazing. The sea was so beautiful that my 7-year-old and 4-year-old said it was the most fun they’ve ever had. Even my husband, who isn’t very comfortable in the water, really enjoyed it. The slide was quite high and not suitable for small children, but my older child took on the challenge. I tried it too, but... young guys were sliding down like crazy.

The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and the boat didn’t rock too much, which was great. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see any dolphins, but we will definitely go again next time. I highly recommend it.

英語のアナウンスのみと言うことで多少の不安がありましたがこの日はたまたま日本の団体が一緒でガイドさんが通訳してくれたので何の問題もありませんでした。

ケアラクア湾は最高でした。
とにかく海が綺麗で７歳と４歳の子供達も一番楽しかったと言ってます。
あまり海が得意でない夫もとっても楽しんでました。
滑り台は結構な高さがあり、小さい子には不向きですが上の子はチャレンジしてました。私もやりましたが・・・・
若い男子がガンガンすべってました。
お昼のハンバーガーもおいしくて船もあまり揺れず、よかったです。
残念ながらイルカには会えなかったけど次もまた絶対行きます。お勧めです。

We were looking forward to our first adventure in Hawaii... an official Luau. It was a lot of fun and we enjoyed the history of the story telling. However, one downside was that we were instructed and confirmed to go to one hotel and when we arrived early to check in were told there was no show there that night... after going through channels we were told to go to another hotel and we checked in without issue. The evening was pleasant, we met other families and enjoyed the fun. The food was good but nothing too special but the atmosphere was pleasant, the breeze warm and the mai tai's cold! We enjoyed the experience overall.

Thank you for a fun day. 楽しい一日をありがとう

Reviewed by: そらまめ

My first time on the Big Island. It's a tropical island just a half-hour flight from Oahu. I was amazed by the island that looked like it was covered in chocolate from the airplane. Once there, it was all about relaxing and taking it easy. The marina with the Zodiac tour was a continuous source of excitement for someone like me who loves machines and mechanics. I was captivated by the moving lathes and milling machines in the repair shop. A round of applause for the behind-the-scenes workers at the resort. The American workers in their uniforms looked cool too.

Now, the rafting on the boat was a blast, zooming over the waves with a cheerful captain and staff. It was simply fun. Not only did we speed along, but we were also gentle with the dolphins and whales we spotted in the waves. The staff mentioned that it's rare to see whales so close. (The timing was so perfect, it felt like they were kept in the Zodiac.) The snorkeling was incredible, probably due to the clear waters around the lava coast. The bay had little current, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults. On the way back, there was no time to get seasick as we sped back. Thank you for a wonderful day. Mahalo.

初めてのハワイ島。オアフ島より半時間ほどのフライトでつくトロピカルな島。飛行機から見るチョコレートを流したような島にびっくり。過ごせば、のんびり、ゆったり。このツアーのソディアックのあるマリーナは、機械、メカが大好きな小生には、感激の連続。旋盤、フライス盤の動いている修理工場に見入った。リゾートの裏方に拍手。作業服のアメリカ人もカッコイイ。さて、ボートでのラフティングは、陽気なキャプテン、スタッフとともに、バンバン波の上をブッ飛ばす。アーア楽しいの一言。飛ばすだけでなく、波に見えるイルカ、クジラには優しく。クジラがこんな身近で見られるのは、スタッフも珍しいとのこと。（ソディアックで飼っているいるのかと思われるようなタイミングのよさ）シュノーケルも溶岩の海岸のためか、海の透明度がすごい。湾の流れも少なく、子どもも大人も楽しめる。帰りのボートも船酔いする暇もなく、すっ飛ばす。楽しい一日をありがとう。マハロ

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＞

Manta マンタ

Reviewed by: 安藤敏雄

I saw a manta ray for the first time in Hawaii. I heard that the chances of seeing one are close to 100%. Since I had my child with me, I was relieved that we were able to see it. However, the briefing on the boat before diving was quite long, and my wife and child started to feel sick, so I think the briefing should be shorter. That said, I was surprised at how close it came, almost touching my legs. I think seeing a manta ray is worth it, but maybe just once?

　初めてのハワイでマンタを見ました。見ることができる確率は１００％に近いと聞いていま。子供がいたので、見ることができホッとしました。ただ、潜るまでのレクチャーが、船上で長く行われたため、ワイフと子供が気持ちが悪いと言い出したので、船上レクチャーは短めにしたほうがいいと思いました。それにしても足に触るぐらいまで近くに来たのでビックリ。マンタは一度でいいかな？でも見る価値はあると思います。

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 was able to experience a lot. いっぱい体験できました

Reviewed by: バナナ

I participated with my husband and son. I had done rafting in a river before, but I had never done it in the ocean, so I was excited to see what it would be like. Since it was my first time going to the meeting point, I was a bit anxious, but I was able to find it right away as directed. The captain only spoke English, but we received detailed printed information in advance, so I didn't have any issues. However, I thought it would have been more fun if I understood the language better.

When we set off, I thought it was a rafting and snorkeling tour, but we encountered a whale once and dolphins two times. It was very exciting since I hadn't expected it. The dolphins jumped while spinning their bodies several times. They were very playful. Seeing a whale in person was also a first-time experience for me, and it was very moving. We enjoyed rafting both to and from the location, and we had plenty of time for snorkeling, about an hour and a half, with lots of fish around. It's rare to find a tour that offers such experiences. I think the cost performance is good as well. I highly recommend it.

However, the boat stops at certain points, and the waves can make you feel a bit nauseous. It moves quickly, so it's okay, but since you spend five hours on the boat or in the sea, if you're worried, it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication. The sun is also strong, and there is nothing to block it, so I think it's best to prepare well for that before participating.

夫と息子と私の３人で参加しました。川でのラフティングはしたことがありましたが、海ではしたことがなく、どんなのかわくわくして参加しました。現地集合で初めて行くところなので不安がありましたが、案内されたとおりで、すぐにみつけることができました。キャプテンは英語しか話せませんが、事前に詳しいプリントといただけるので、困ることはありませんでした。でも言葉が分かれば、もっと楽しいだろうなと思いました。出発するとラフティングとシュノーケルのツアーと思って参加したのですが、クジラ１回といるか２回に出会えました。期待していなっただけにとても盛り上がりました。いるかは、何度もくるくる体を回転させながらジャンプしていました。サービス精神満点のいるかでした。くじらも生で見るのは初めての経験で、とても感動しました。ラフティングも行きと帰りに楽しみ、シュノーケルもたっぷり１時間半ぐらい時間があり、魚もいっぱいでした。これだけ体験できるツアーはなかなかないです。コストパフォーマンスもいいと思います。お勧めです。ただポイントでボートが停まってくれるのですが、波でゆれ気分が悪くなることもありました。すぐに動くので大丈夫ですが、５時間はずっとボートか海の上で過ごすので、心配な方は酔い止めを飲んでおくと安心です。日差しも強く遮ってくれるものもないので、対策は、しっかりして参加するといいと思います。

Horizon 水平線

Despite arriving before opening hours, the office staff treated us with great courtesy and even explained how to use the parking lot. After opening, we received a Japanese document outlining the disclaimers and other important information, but understanding its content was a bit tricky. It seemed like it was written using an automatic translation tool... Still, we managed to grasp the main points and signed it. My husband, son, and I all went up together at once. It was surprisingly high, and at times we flew low enough that it felt like we might land in the sea. Thanks to the captain's skillful control of speed and direction, our family was able to share an unprecedented sense of excitement. Additionally, we were fortunate with the weather, which allowed us to see the horizon curving with our own eyes. Upon returning to the port, my son bought a UFO shirt as a souvenir and looked very satisfied.

開店前の到着にもかかわらず、オフィスの女性が丁重に対応してくれました。駐車場の利用案内まで説明してくれました。開店してからは、最初に免責等の確認事項の日本語文書をもらいましたがその内容を理解するのが少々厄介でした。おそらく自動翻訳機能をつかった文章かと・・・。それでも何とか言わんとすることを理解してサイン。主人、息子、私の３人一緒に一気に上空へ。びっくりすほど高く、時には海に着水しそうに低く、船長さんがスピード、方向をうまくコントロールしてくれたおかげで、家族で今までにない感動を共有することができました。また、天候に恵まれたおかげで水平線が弧を描いているのを自分の目で確かめることができたのがよかったです。帰港時に、息子は記念にUFOシャツを購入し満足気でした。

We participated with our children who are in the second and third grades. Although we couldn't communicate in Japanese, we managed just fine. Thanks to taking motion sickness medication before boarding, we didn't get seasick and arrived at the snorkeling spot. When they asked for our fin sizes, it was hard to communicate in centimeters, so I recommend checking the sizes in inches beforehand. They also provided floaties and other floating devices. The cheeseburger for lunch was delicious.

On the way back, we were accompanied by a lot of dolphins, and they were even right under the boat, which really impressed the kids. As parents, we felt like kids again and enjoyed jumping into the sea from the boat's slide, taking our time to relax.

We were quite tired, so we ended up taking a nap at the hotel in the afternoon. I think it's better not to schedule anything after that.

小学2年と3年の子供と家族で参加しました。日本語は通じないけれど、なんとかなりました。酔い止めの薬を飲んで乗船したおかげか、船酔いもせずにシュノーケルスポットにつきました。フィンのサイズを聞かれたときに、ｃｍでは通じないので、インチのサイズを調べておくといいと思います。浮き輪も浮き具もあります。ランチのチーズバーガーも美味しかったです。
帰りにイルカがたくさん併走してくれて、船の真下にもいたので子供たちはとっても感動していました。親も、子供にかえった気分で船の滑り台から海に飛び込んで、のんびりと満喫しました。

Incredibly blue sea & sunburn 信じられないくらい青い海＆日焼け

Reviewed by: みーにゃ

When I first boarded the Zodiac rubber boat, I was a bit shaky and squealed, but gradually I started to feel exhilarated no matter how fast we went or how much we bounced. I knew I couldn't keep my hat on, but even the hood of my rash guard came off.

We jumped into the deep blue sea, far from land. The water was crystal clear up to my feet, but beyond that, it turned a deep navy blue. I wondered just how deep it was. The water felt so soothing that when I relaxed, my body floated effortlessly. It was an incredible sense of liberation.

Snorkeling around the Captain Cook Monument was also fantastic. It felt like being thrown into a tropical fish tank. However, for us Japanese, it might have been a bit too long. Watching families from Russia and the mainland continue to jump in and have fun made me wonder how much longer we would be there. (Sorry if I seem a bit out of sync.)

The captain kept speaking in English, but I couldn't see his face and the wind made it hard to understand. It wasn't a problem, though. I thought it might be fun to understand and respond like a native, but I don't really do that even in Japanese.

Towards the end, we encountered a pod of dolphins. They seemed so free. I was very satisfied.

Despite being careful about sunburn, my thighs and knees (from sitting) ended up getting sunburned bright red. For those who will participate in the future, wearing a long dress that is easy to put on and take off over your swimsuit might be safer. If you're concerned about getting tanned, this activity might not be for you.

ゴムボートのゾディアック号に最初乗った時は少々揺れてもキャーキャーしていましたがだんだんスピードがどんなに出ても飛び跳ねても爽快に感じるようになりました。帽子はかぶっていられないことはわかっていましたがラッシュガードのフードも脱げてしまいます。

キャプテンクック記念碑の周りでのスノーケリングもすばらしかった。まるで熱帯魚の水槽の中に放り込まれたようでした。でも我々日本人には冗長すぎる時間かもしれません。いつまでもはしゃいで飛び込んだりし続けるロシアやメインランドからの家族を船の上から見ながらいつまでここにいるのかなと思うようになります。（ノリが悪いのかすみません）

キャプテンがしゃべりつづけてる英語は顔も見ていないし風にも吹かれているしまるで理解できませんね~。それで困ることはありません。理解できてネイティブ並みに反応できたら楽しいかとも思いますが（もともと日本語でもそういう乗り突っ込みはしないですからね）

最後のころにイルカの群れに会えました。自由を感じるイルカたちでした。大満足でしたね。

日焼けに気をつけていたにもかかわらず腿がひざが（座っているから）真っ赤に火傷してしまいました。これから参加される方は水着の上に簡単に脱ぎ着できるなが~いワンピを着て参加すると安全かもしれません。美白を気にする人は参加無理です。

After checking in at the office in the shopping center and renting wetsuits, we moved to the boat ramp at Keauhou Bay individually.

It was a good decision to stay at the Sheraton within walking distance since we disbanded while still wet. We were the only Japanese participants.

This time, we participated as a family of four. The snorkeling tour we usually join involves a large boat that takes us to the location, where we enjoy ourselves, but this tour felt like the attractions began as soon as we boarded the boat. The boat was thrilling, and during the hour of bouncing over the waves, I had to hold on tightly or I felt like I might be thrown off. Once we arrived at the Captain Cook Memorial, it was truly a snorkeling paradise. The water was very clear, allowing us to see deep down to the ocean floor, so anyone can expect to see at least 15 different types of tropical fish. It's a tour that the kids can enjoy as well.

今回は家族４人で参加しました。いつも参加するシュノーケリングツアーは大きな船でポイントまで移動して、その場で楽しんでいるんですが、このツアーはボートに乗り込んだ時から既にアトラクションが始まっているという感じです。ボートは迫力満点で、波間をすり抜けて１時間くらい揺られている間ずっとしっかり捕まっていないと振り落とされそうになります。また、キャプテンクック記念碑の所に到着したらまさにシュノーケルバラダイスです。透明度は高く海底の深くまで見渡せますので、誰でも最低１５種類くらいの熱帯魚を観ることが出来ます。子供達にも十分楽しめるツアーです。

ケアウホウ湾シーカヤック＆シュノーケルツアー　海中洞窟探検プランあり　＜早朝・午前／日本語ガイド＞by キング・カヤック・ハワイ

I am very satisfied!! 大満足です!!

Reviewed by: hilo

On July 23, I participated with my two children. Since they are elementary school students, we were looking for a tour where Japanese was spoken, and we ended up here.

As everyone had said, Kevin and Noni were very kind and attentive, and they seemed very experienced in handling children. We enjoyed both kayaking and snorkeling.

Especially for snorkeling, it was the first time for my children to be in 6 to 7 meters deep water. At first, they looked very nervous, but within five minutes, they were floating on their own. I believe this was not only due to the clear sea, corals, and small fish, but also because of Kevin and Noni's excellent guidance.

Additionally, while regular beaches tend to have sand that stirs up and clouds the water, being near the lava coast meant there was none of that, and the visibility was great. Joining the tour was definitely the right choice.

When going as just a family, there can be various concerns, but with a tour, I felt reassured, so I would like to participate again.

7月23日に私と子供二人で参加しました。
子供たちは小学生なので日本語が通じるツアーを探していて、ここにたどり着きました。
参加してみると、皆さんの評判通りで、ケビンさんノニさんはとても親切丁寧で、子供たちの扱いにもとても慣れた感じで、カヤック、シュノーケリングともに楽しめました。
特にシュノーケリングは6m、7mの海の深さに初めてだった子供たちは、最初とても緊張した様子でしたが、5分も経たないうちに一人でプカプカしてました。
これも澄んだ海とサンゴと小魚たちはもちろんですが、ケビンさん、ノニさんの誘導が良かったのではと感じました。

また、普通の浜辺では砂が撒きあがって濁る傾向ですが、溶岩の海岸近くであればそれもなく、良く見えるとのことで、ツアーに参加して大正解でした。

家族だけで行くと、何かと不安ですが、ツアーだと安心できるので、また、参加したいと思います。

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

Excellent Experience!

Reviewed by: Leslie

Guides fun and helpful. Snoring was great...lots of colorful fish. Kayaking was tiring and tough for a beginner, but it was doable. Wear water shoes and a waterproof camera and cash for a tip.

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＞

Ocean Rafting & Lava Cave Adventure オーシャンラフティング＆溶岩洞窟アドベンチャー　

Reviewed by: Hiramechan

I had a great time. I thought it would be rafting, but I stayed completely dry and had a comfortable ride. We set out with three boats, and thanks to the captain's unique judgment, we were able to explore various courses. Of course, at certain points, all three boats came together, so it felt safe. The guides communicated entirely in English, but printed materials in Japanese were distributed beforehand, so even if you're not good at conversation, you'll be fine. The boat's speed was full throttle, so it was quite fast. Moreover, with the rolling, it was thrilling. You might worry about seasickness, but while moving, you can feel the wind all over your body, so you completely forget about it. Still, for those who are anxious, taking medication beforehand would be perfect. I thought snorkeling would be the same no matter where you swim, but the underwater world in places without people was completely different. After swimming here, the ocean in Waikiki felt just like Japan's Enoshima, and I didn't feel like diving. Please make sure to enter the waters of Kealakekua Bay.

とても楽しかったです。ラフティングと思ってましたが、身体は全く濡れることなく、快適なライディングでした。３隻での出港となりましたが、キャプテンの独自の判断でいろんなコースを巡ることが出来ました。もちろん、ポイントポイントでは３隻そろうのですから安心です。ガイドは全て英語でなされますが、事前に日本語で書かれたプリントが配布されますので、会話が不得意でも大丈夫です。ボートの速度はアクセル全開なので相当速いです。しかも、ローリング付きなのでスリル満点です。船酔いの心配があるかもしれませんが、走行中は全身で風を感じることができるので完全に忘れてしまいます。それでも不安な人は薬を飲んでおけば完璧でしょう。シュノーケリングはどこで泳いでも変わらないと思っていましたが、人が入らないところの水中は全く別世界でした。ここで泳いだら、ワイキキの海は日本の江ノ島と同じで、潜る気にはなりません。ぜひともケアラケクア湾の海には入って下さい。

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＞

It was amazing. 最高でした

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I never expected it to be so thrilling when we set off from the bay. The boat moved slowly at first, and I was excited to see dolphins up close. With the signal of "Okay, here we go~," the boat suddenly sped up, and I felt a moment of fear. However, after a while, we arrived at the snorkeling spot, and when I started swimming, I was overwhelmed by how beautiful it was. The depth was also astonishing. We had lunch together, and it was so much fun to communicate with people from other countries. It was the best activity! I want to recommend it to everyone!

湾から出発するときは、まさかあんなにスリルがあるとは思ってもいなかったです。途中まではゆっくりボートが進み、イルカがすぐ近くにいてテンションがあがりました。「じゃあいくよ~」の合図で猛スピードでボートが進み始めて、ほんとに一瞬恐怖を感じました。ですが、しばらく走ってシュノーケリングの場所まで着き、いざ泳いでみたらあまりにもキレイで感動しました。深さにも圧倒されました。みんなでのランチがあってわいわい楽しくほかの国の人ともコミュニケーションがとれたり、最高のアクティビティでした！みんなにお勧めしたいです！

Waipio Valley Waterfalls & Horseback Riding Tour with Naalapa Stables [Closed]

Great Ride thru Beautiful Valley

Reviewed by: Karen&Amy

A van takes you down to the valley floor where you are introduced to your horses. The ride takes you thru beautiful vegetation (mangos, avacados, bananas, taro and amazing flowers). You cross thru streams and see waterfalls streaming down into the valley. The riding itself is not very exciting. The horses walk at a leisurely pace. However the views are so worth it!

ケアウホウ湾シーカヤック＆シュノーケルツアー　海中洞窟探検プランあり　＜早朝・午前／日本語ガイド＞by キング・カヤック・ハワイ

Kayaking and snorkeling were so much fun!! カヤック・シュノーケル楽しかったよ！！

Reviewed by: 北ファミリー

I participated in a tour on July 24, 2011. My husband and I had done kayaking once during our honeymoon in Cairns, but it was the first time for our children. We had Kevin, who speaks fluent Japanese and has lived in Japan for 30 years, and Noni, teaching us one-on-one, so we had no worries at all! When I thought the kids might be a little hesitant, Kevin was considerate and took their hands to change the experience into snorkeling, which they enjoyed. I appreciate the thoughtful attention, possibly from his experience in Japan. During break time, there were plenty of snacks and pineapple juice, so we were all full! This tour is enjoyable for beginners, repeat visitors, families, and friends alike! Also, even if you're a beginner in English conversation, Kevin is there to help. Our family has become repeat participants in this tour and we want to join again.

As someone who has visited Hawaii 30 times, I highly recommend it! If you read this comment, please consider joining!

2011/07/24（日）にツアーに参加しました。
私と主人は新婚旅行のケアンズで1度カヤックをやりましたが、子供たちは初めてでした。
日本語ペラペラのケビンさん（日本在住暦30年）とノニさんがマンツーマンで教えていただけたので、全然不安はありませんでしたよ！！
子供が少しひるんでいるかな？と思うとケビンさんが気を利かせて、子供の手をとってシュノーケルを楽しみに変えてくれました。
日本にいらっしゃった経験なのか、決め細やかな気配りに感謝です。
お休み時間にはスナックやパイナップル・ジュースなどたくさんあってお腹いっぱいになりました！
ハワイ初心者、リピーター、ファミリー、友達同士でも、楽しく楽しめるツアーですよ！
あと、英会話初心者でもケビンさんがお相手していただけます。
私たち家族もコノツアーのリピーターになりました。また参加したいと思っています。

ハワイリピーター暦30回の私は言うのですから！
コメントを読んだ方は是非ご参加してみてください。

ケアウホウ湾シーカヤック＆シュノーケルツアー　海中洞窟探検プランあり　＜早朝・午前／日本語ガイド＞by キング・カヤック・ハワイ

Private ocean! 貸切の海！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

My friend and I participated in an underwater cave exploration plan. On that day, there were only four participants: the two of us and one couple. The instructors were Kevin and his wife (who is Japanese), and both were fluent in Japanese, so there were no language barriers at all. They provided us with very attentive support.

After we set off, we found ourselves surrounded by a completely empty, deep blue sea. It felt like we had the ocean all to ourselves. It was a truly wonderful experience.

However, be careful when jumping off the cliffs! We had a light-hearted attitude about wanting to jump, but... if you underestimate it, you might end up in pain. The view from up high was beautiful, but standing on the edge of the cliff, it was higher than I expected, and it took a bit of courage to jump... It was a serious jump, for sure (laughs). If you don't jump straight in, you might get hurt. I lost my balance and landed on my rear—ouch! It really hurt (tears). Only those who are confident should give it a try!

Overall, it was a lot of fun, so I highly recommend it! Next time, I think I’ll participate without jumping.

友人と２人で海中洞窟探検プランに参加しました。
この日の参加者は、私たち２名とカップル１組、合計４名のみでした。
インストラクターはケビンとその奥様（日本人）で、どちらも日本語ＯＫです。なので言葉の壁はまったく問題なし。
お二人には、とても丁寧にサポートしていただきました。
出発して少し経つと誰もいない真っ青な海が広がっていました。まるで私たちだけの貸切の海のようでした。
とっても素敵な体験ができました。

ただ、崖からの飛び込みは要注意！！
軽~い気持ちでジャンプを希望した私たちでしたが・・・。
甘く見ていると痛い目にあいます。
高いところからの景色はとってもきれいだったのですが、いざ崖の上に立ってみると思ったより高く、飛び込むにはちょっと勇気が・・・。かなり真剣ジャンプですよ（笑）。
まっすぐに飛び込まないと痛い目にあいます。
私は、バランスを崩しおしりからドボ~ン！かなり痛かったです（涙）。
自信のある人のみチャレンジしてね！！

でも、総合的にはとっても楽しかったのでお勧めです☆
次回は、飛び込みなしで参加したいと思います♪

Kealakekua Bay Guided Kayak & Captain Cook Snorkel Tour - Adventures In Paradise

Peaceful

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Liked how this was in a bay...not in come choppy ocean with tons of waves and where I feel like I am having to fight just to stay upright...no way, this was nothing like that. It felt almost like I was back home at the lake and really peacefully just gliding through the waters.

And the bay itself is really pretty. Then the snorkel section of the trip was really fun too. To get in and see fish and wildlife I had never seen before was exciting.

Overall it was a really wonderful time in Hawaii and made a highlight of my vacation. Mahalo.

ケアウホウ湾シーカヤック＆シュノーケルツアー　海中洞窟探検プランあり　＜早朝・午前／日本語ガイド＞by キング・カヤック・ハワイ

Relaxing~♪ のんびり～♪

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I chose this plan because I wanted to do both kayaking and snorkeling. It was a casual half-day course. Since it was my first time on the Big Island and I was moving around by rental car, I was a bit anxious about joining a tour without transportation included, but this was the only one with a Japanese-speaking guide.

Once we arrived at the meeting point without any issues, we received instructions on how to paddle a kayak and then headed out to sea. The guides were a couple, and both of them (the wife is Japanese) spoke fluent Japanese, so I felt completely at ease. I was satisfied that we could paddle for a long time. Although the snorkeling experience didn't have as many fish as I encountered in Palau, I was more than comforted by the personalities of the two guides, the color of the sea, and the surrounding scenery.

The kayaking was comfortable, and I was able to experience getting in and out of the kayak on the water for the first time. Since it was just the two of us participating this time (they usually accommodate small groups), it felt less like joining a tour and more like receiving warm hospitality from acquaintances, allowing us to have a very relaxing time. I highly recommend this tour!

カヤックとシュノーケルのどちらもしたくて
このプランを選びました。気軽な半日コース。
はじめてのハワイ島、レンタカーでの移動だったので、
送迎なしのツアーへの参加に不安はありましたが
日本語ガイド付きはここだけだったので。。

無事集合場所についてからは、カヤックのこぎ方の
指導を経て、海に出れました。
ご夫婦のガイドさんで、お二人とも（奥様は日本人の方ですが）
日本語がぺらぺらでなんの不安もなくすごせました♪
長い時間カヤックを漕ぐこともできて満足でした。
シュノーケルはパラオで体験したほど、たくさんの魚には
恵まれませんでしたが、それ以上にガイドさんお二人の
お人柄や海の色、周りの景色に癒されました。

カヤックも乗り心地？すわり心地がよかったです。
はじめて海の上で乗り降りも体験できました。
今回は私達二人だけの参加だったので（いつも少人数対応とのこと）、
なんだかツアーに参加したというより
知り合いに温かいもてなしを受けたような感じで、
とてもリラックスした時間をすごすことができました♪
オススメできるツアーです☆
