ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー　滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く！＜午前・午後／英語ガイド／食事付＞by フェアウィンド号

Playful cruise 遊べるクルーズ

Reviewed by: Suga

I participated in mid-June. The day before, I went to the office to confirm my reservation and check the parking lot for the departure location, but the road from the parking lot to the office was under repair and was in the water. When confirming my reservation at the office, I was informed about a change in the parking lot. Since the communication was in English, it might have been unclear regarding the changed parking lot. The cruise was comfortable. There were no other Japanese people, but everyone was friendly. Unfortunately, the snorkeling was disappointing due to the lack of fish, but there were fun activities like a slide to jump into the sea from the cruiser, which was enjoyable. The BBQ was delicious, and we were able to relax and take our time.

6月の中旬に参加しました。
前日、予約確認と出航場所の駐車場確認に事務所まで行くと、駐車場から事務までの道が修理で海の中。事務所で予約確認の際、駐車場の変更を言われました。英語でのやり取りなので電話で予約確認をしていたら、変更された駐車場がわかりづらかったかもしれません。クルーズは快適です。日本人は誰もいませんでしたが、皆、フレンドリーでした。シュノーケリングは残念ながら魚が少なかったので期待はずれでしたが、クルーザから海に飛び込む滑り台など、遊ぶ配慮
があり、面白かったです。BBQも美味しくゆっくり出来ました。

I highly recommend that you experience it! 是非体験される事をお勧めします！

Reviewed by: HIDE

I participated in this activity because I wanted to safely enjoy the unique marine activities that Hawaii Island has to offer. Although you need to get to the location, we arrived in about 40 minutes from Mauna Lani by rental car. It's easy to find, using the blue roof of the marina as a landmark. The reception is in English, but there were no issues, and we could relax while waiting for departure, greeted by the welcoming dog.

We were first given a sheet with important points and sightseeing tips in Japanese, which helped us understand the tour's content. Everyone else was from English-speaking countries, but we were able to bond with a few simple greetings. We sped across the ocean for about an hour to the snorkeling point. They say we were going about 40 kilometers per hour, but it felt like we were cruising at around 80 kilometers per hour, which was quite thrilling.

At the snorkeling point, the captain provided a detailed explanation on how to wear the mask and use the snorkel. My wife was a bit anxious about snorkeling in deep water, but wearing a life jacket and borrowing a floating board helped her feel safe and enjoy the experience. The snorkeling spot was filled with beautiful coral and tropical fish, and we never got tired of the view.

Onboard, we enjoyed light snacks, including fruits and sandwiches that the captain kindly prepared. On the way back, we enjoyed another refreshing cruise while exploring caves! After snorkeling, it's easy to get cold, so it's better to bring a large bath towel, and since the sun is intense, sunscreen is definitely necessary. I think it's a good idea to bring a camera as it won't get wet.

ハワイ島で安全に楽しめ、かつハワイ島ならではの海のアクティビティが経験したくてこちらのアクティビティに参加しました。こちらは現地まで行く必要がありますが私達はレンタカーでマウナラニから約40分で到着しました。マリーナの青い屋根を目印に簡単に到着する事が出来ます。受け付けは英語ですが特に問題はなく看板犬のお出迎えで癒されながら出発を待つ事が出来ます。最初に日本語の注意点と観光のポイントが書かれたシートを渡されツアーの内容を知る事ができます。私達以外は皆英語圏の人でしたが最初のカタコトの挨拶で打ち解ける事が出来ました。シュノーケリングポイントまで1時間くらい海原を大疾走します。時速40キロくらいらしいのですが体感的には80キロくらいは出ているような迫力のあるクルージングが楽しめます。シュノーケリングポイントではキャプテンからマスクの被り方やシュノーケルの使い方など丁寧にレクチャーがあります。深い海でのシュノーケルを妻が不安に思っていましたがライフジャケットを身に付けさらにフローティングボードも借りる事で安心して楽しめたようです。シュノーケリングポイントは珊瑚と熱帯魚が素晴らしく見飽きる事はありません。船上での軽食も和気あいあいとキャプテンが切ってくれるフルーツやサンドイッチを楽しむ事ができます。帰りは洞窟巡りをしながらまた爽快なクルージングを楽しむ事ができました！シュノーケリングの後は体が冷えやすいので大き目のバスタオルを用意して行った方が良いのと日差しが強烈なので日焼け止めは必ず必要です。カメラは濡れないので持って行った方が良いと思います。

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！！

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。

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。

Unexpectedly enjoyable. 予想外にエンジョイ

Reviewed by: 麻呂さん

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。
予定時間を超えて飽きる事無くエンジョイさせてくれたスタッフに感謝と、是非、また「遊びに訪れたい」と思ったアクティビティでした。

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＞

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。

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.

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。

Reviewed by: peacetime

On March 28, 2014, I participated with my two sons, one a university student and the other soon to be a high school student. The office staff were very kind and responded cheerfully to my limited English.

First, we took a boat for about an hour to Kealakekua Bay. By the time we arrived, my backside was a bit sore from the rough ride. We borrowed snorkeling gear, including masks and fins, and jumped into the sea from the edge of the boat. Near the Captain Cook monument, the water was shallow enough to touch, and beautiful fish swam close by. After thoroughly enjoying the underwater show, we got back on the boat for a sandwich lunch, which included drinks, snacks, and pineapple. Everything was delicious! My energetic sons continued to enjoy snorkeling before we headed back.

On the return trip, we went even faster! Driving along the coastline was thrilling! We saw cliffs that looked like the sleeping form of the volcano goddess "Pele," and we almost bumped into coastal caves, which felt like a theme park attraction and was quite exciting.

Suddenly slowing down made me wonder what was happening, and then we spotted a pod of dolphins swimming right next to the boat. They not only jumped but even twisted in the air! I was amazed at how skilled they were, wondering who trained them.

Moreover, out in the distance, we spotted a whale! As soon as we saw it, it approached at an incredible speed, allowing us to do some close whale watching! The way it raised and lowered its pectoral fins looked just like it was waving at us. It was my first time seeing a whale, and it was truly moving.

When we arrived at Honokohau Marina, we were greeted by dolphins and turtles! We had fun right up until the very end. Thank you to everyone on the Captain Zodiac for the wonderful memories.

【Tips for a Comfortable Experience】
The wind can be strong while the boat is moving. Having a larger bath towel and a light hoodie can be comforting.
You might get splashed, so having a plastic bag or ziplock can be handy.
You will be in the sun for a long time, so it's a good idea to bring sunscreen for peace of mind.
The water can be quite cool, so wearing a rash guard is comfortable.
There will be plenty of photo opportunities, so bringing a camera that can record video is recommended.

2014年３月28日、大学生ともうすぐ高校生の息子2人と参加しました。Officeの方もスタッフもとっても親切。拙い英語にも快く答えてくれました。
まずは、１時間ほどボートに乗ってケアラケクア湾へ。激しい揺れにちょっとお尻が痛くなった頃、到着しました。シュノーケル＆水中眼鏡、フィンを借りて、いざ海へ！ボートの淵からザブンと飛び入りました。キャプテンクックのモニュメント付近が浅くなっていて、さわれる程ちかくを綺麗な魚たちが泳いでいした。海中ショーをしっかり堪能した頃、ボートに上がってサンドイッチの昼食。飲み物とスナック、パイナップルつきでした。どれも美味しかった！ 元気な息子たちは、その後もシュノーケルを楽しみ、帰路に着着ました。
帰りは、さらに高速！ 海岸線を走るのでスリル満点！ 火山の神『ペレ』の寝姿？みたいに見える絶壁を見せてくれたり、海岸洞窟みたいな絶壁にぶつかりそうに入ったり、遊園地のアトラクションみたいでドキドキしました。
急に減速したので、？と思ったら、ボートのすぐそばをイルカの群れが遊泳中。ジャンプばかりか、ツイストまで見せてくれました。誰が仕込んでるの？って思うくらい芸達者で、びっくり…。
さらに、沖の方には、なんと！クジラが！ 見つけるや否やものすごいスピードで近づき、間近でホエールウォッチング！ 胸びれを上げ下げしているのが、まるで手を振っているみたいでした。初めて見たクジラ！ 感動でした。
ホノウコウマリーナに到着すると、イルカとカメがお出迎え！ 最後の最後までしっかり楽しませてもらいました。
キャプテンゾディアック号の皆さん、素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。
【快適に過ごすために】
ボート走行中は風が強いです。大きめのバスタオルと薄いパーカーなどあると、ほっとできます。
水しぶきがかかります。ビニール袋やジップロックなどがあると、便利です。
日差しを浴び続けます。日焼け止めは持って行った方が安心です。
海中は結構冷えます。ラッシュガードを着ていると楽です。
シャッターチャンスがいっぱいあります。動画の撮れるカメラを持っていくといいです。

I was moved by the crystal-clear sea for the first time. 初めての澄みきった海に感動

Reviewed by: saito

The sea was wonderful, just as described, with such high transparency. Despite being mid-January, the water temperature was not low, and I was able to enjoy it fully. If I had to be picky, I would have liked a bit more variety in the tropical fruits.

こんなに透明度が高いとは、案内の通りの素晴らしい海でした。1月中旬にもかかわらず水温も低くなく存分に楽しめました。欲を言えばトロピカルフルーツにもう少しバリエーションがあれば良かったと思いました。

I was moved by the complimentary whale watching. おまけのホエールウオッチングに感動

Reviewed by: クニちゃん

In addition to the title of the activity, it was probably due to the good season, but I was thrilled to see whales. Although I didn't witness any spectacular jumps, I was able to clearly see the spouts and the white patches on their raised tails.
I participated as part of a couple over 60, and we were able to handle the adventure rafting on a high-speed rubber boat. Thank you to our guide assistant Budda for letting us sit in a spot in the center of the boat where there was less rocking on the way back!
Unlike tours within Japan, wearing life jackets during boarding and snorkeling is at your own responsibility, so those who are concerned should definitely request to wear one.

アクティビティーのタイトルとは別に、時季が良かったこともあったのでしょうが、クジラを見ることができ大感激でした。豪快なジャンプは見れませんでしたが汐吹や振り上げられた尾の白い白斑まではっきり見ることができました。
オーバー６０のカップルで参加しましたが、高速ゴムボートでのアドベンチャーラフティングにも耐えられました。帰途ボートの中心の揺れの少ない場所に座らせてくれたガイド助手のBudda君ありがとう！！
日本国内でのツアーと違い、乗船時やシュノーケリングでもライフジャケット着用は自己責任であり、心配な人は着用を必ず申し出ることが必要です。

It was really beautiful! すごくキレイでした！

Reviewed by: MIHO

This was my first time participating, and the color of the sea was emerald green. When I went snorkeling, I immediately saw many beautiful fish. My parents in their 60s also tried snorkeling for almost the first time and enjoyed it. On the way back, we even spotted a whale in the distance.

As others have commented, when I participated, we were the only Japanese people, and all the explanations were in English, but there were no issues, and they kindly taught us how to use the snorkeling equipment. We drove to the meeting point with a rental car, but since it's very close to the Sheraton, taking a taxi there would also be a good option.

I thought an hour and a half would be enough, but once we were there, it went by so quickly that if I have the chance again, I would like to participate for a whole day.

初めて参加しましたが、海の色はエメラルドグリーンでシュノーケリングをしたら、すぐにたくさんのきれいな魚がたくさん見れました。
60代の両親もほぼ初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、楽しんでいました。戻るときは、遠くにクジラも見れました。
他の方もコメントされていますが、私が参加した時も日本人は私たちだけで説明などは全部英語でしたが、特に問題なく親切にシュノーケリングの
使い方など教えてもらいました。集合場所まではレンタカーで行きましたが、シェラトンからすぐなのでそこまでタクシーで行く方法でもいいかと
思います。
1時間半で十分と思っていましたが、実際に行ってみるとあっという間でまた行く機会があれば一日参加してみたいです。

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＞

Absolutely recommended. 絶対おすすめ

Reviewed by: cheki

This time, we participated with two families (four adults and three children aged ten). It was less than a 30-minute drive from our accommodation in Waikoloa to Honokohau Marina, and we were blessed with clear skies on the day of our trip. We sped to the snorkeling point in about an hour, encountering a large pod of dolphins along the way. To our surprise, we also saw three whales up close, which got the kids really excited. We were told that such encounters at this distance are quite rare. It was incredibly impressive. The snorkeling was filled with beautiful fish. The lunch on the boat was exceptional as well. The kids said they want to go again next time. While it's a fun tour for adults, I believe it's a must-do adventure for families.

今回は、２家族（大人４人・子供１０歳３人）で参加しました。宿泊先のワイコロアからホノコハウマリーナ迄３０分弱と近く、当日は雲一つない晴天に恵まれスピード感満点のボートでシュノーケルポイント迄約１時間。途中イルカの大群。さらには何と３頭のクジラをまじかで見れました。これには子供たちも大興奮。なかなかこの距離で遭遇出来ないとの説明。凄い迫力でした。シュノーケルも綺麗なお魚達が沢山。ボート上でのランチも格別。子供たちから、次回も又行きたいと言われました。大人だけでも楽しいツアーですが、家族ずれにはマストなアドベンチャーだと思います。

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: ハワイ大好き

We participated as a family of four. While enjoying dolphin watching along the way, we arrived at the snorkeling point about an hour after departure. It was like a cove surrounded by coral, with no waves, and we were able to see various fish. The Zodiac is a large rubber boat, but it goes quite fast, so it gets pretty cold on the way back after getting out of the water. I recommend bringing a thick bath towel or something like a fleece.

家族4名で参加しました。途中イルカウォッチングを楽しみながら、出港から約1時間でシュノーケリングポイントに到着。珊瑚に囲まれた入江のようなところで、波もなく、色々な魚を観ることができました。ゾディアック号は大きなゴムボートのような船ですが、かなりスピードも出るので、海から上がった帰りは結構寒くなります。厚手のバスタオルか、フリースのようなものを持って行くことをお勧めします。

A wonderful cruise. 素敵なクルーズ

Reviewed by: みさき

I had visited for work before, but this time I came for a relaxing vacation.
During the two stops, I enjoyed snorkeling.
I saw whales, a pod of dolphins, sea turtles, and tropical fish in the distance... I had a great day.
For lunch, I had a hamburger.

Since there is no pickup, you have to make your own way to the meeting point, and everything is in English, so if you're okay with that, I think you'll have a wonderful day.

今まで仕事で訪れていたので、今回はのんびり休暇で訪れました。
2回の停泊で、シュノーけリングを楽しみました。
遠くにクジラ、イルカの群れ、海がめ、トロピカルフィシュ。。1日楽しめました。
昼はハンバ＾ガ＾です。

ピックアップが無いので、自力で集合場所まで行かなければならないのと、全て英語なので、それが大丈夫であれば、素敵な1日が過ごせると思います。

This is my favorite spot! お気に入りのスポットです♪

Reviewed by: MARIKO

I had a great time last time, so I'm repeating my visit. During my last trip, I participated in the morning session and enjoyed two snorkeling sessions with lunch in between. The underwater scenery was beautiful, filled with colorful fish, and I lost track of time until I was called back for the end (^O^).

This time, I wasn't sure if my two-year-old grandchild would enjoy it, so I opted for the shorter afternoon snorkeling session. However, it seems they had a lot of fun peering into the water with a mat that had a viewing window! I would love to participate again next time. During the cruise, we were able to see dolphins and flying fish!

前回行って良かったのでリピートです。前回は午前の参加でランチをはさんで
2回のスノーケルを満喫しました。海の中はとても綺麗で、綺麗な魚がいっぱいで時間を忘れて終了時間に呼び戻されました(^O^)
今回は２歳の孫が楽しめるかどうか分からなかったので、スノーケル時間の短い午後の参加でしたが、覗き窓付きのマットを借りて海中を覗いてとっても楽しかったようです♪また、次回も参加したいと思っています。
クルーズではイルカやトビウオが見れました♪

I participated with a total of five people from my extended family. The other four were over 60 years old (laughs), but everyone was able to enjoy snorkeling in the beautiful sea.

One of my uncles who joined us this time is planning to go back to Hawaii Island with his wife and mother-in-law at the end of the year, and he wants to join the same tour again.

親戚家族と合計5人で参加しました。私以外の4人は60歳以上だったのですが(笑)美しい海でのシュノーケリングをそれぞれが楽しむことができました。また現地のスタッフの方たちも片言の日本語ながら気さくに対応もして頂き、高年者組も楽しむことができました。

I signed up for this tour because I was with my mother-in-law. It was an English tour, and I was happy that the crew took care of us. However, the water in October was cold, and there were some waves. Additionally, there weren't many fish, and there weren't many dolphins either. You can swim in the sea, but I think snorkeling might not be that great.

義理のお母さんと一緒なので、このツアーに申し込みました。英語ツアーでしたが、クルーの人たちは私達を気にかけてくれて嬉しかったです。
ただ、10月の海の水は冷たいのと少し波がたかかったです。あとは、あまり魚たちがおらず、イルカもあまりいませんでした。海では泳げますが、シュノーケルはいまいちかなと思います。

The magnificent scenery spreading beneath the sea is breathtaking! 海中に広がる壮大な景色は圧巻！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

This time we departed from Kailua Pier. The boat that raced at high speed to Kealakekua Bay felt like an attraction and was exhilarating! We were the only Japanese people on board, which made us a bit worried, but when we communicated our needs, they helped us put on our goggles and lent us a float during snorkeling. It was our first time snorkeling, but we were able to enjoy it with peace of mind. The sea where we snorkeled was quite deep, and it was beautiful to see so many fish swimming close to us; I could have watched them forever. After snorkeling, they served snacks, fruits, and drinks, and the pineapple was especially delicious! The lava cave adventure was more about observing and receiving explanations from outside rather than entering the cave, but they brought us close enough to truly feel the power of nature. On the way back, we unexpectedly encountered a pod of dolphins and were thrilled to see them jump up close, just like in an aquarium show. The other participants seemed fine, but I got cold from snorkeling, so it was a good decision to bring a hoodie.

今回はカイルア桟橋からの出発でした。ケアラケクア湾まで猛スピードで走る船はアトラクションのようで爽快！日本人は私達二人だけで少し心配でしたが、きちんと要望を伝えると、ゴーグルをはめるのを手伝ってくれたり、シュノーケリングの際には浮き輪を貸してもらえらたりとはじめてのシュノーケリングでしたが安心して楽しめました。シュノーケリングをした海はかなりの深さがあり、自分の近くをたくさんの魚が泳ぐ姿はとてもきれいで見ていて飽きませんでした。シュノーケリング後、お菓子やフルーツ・飲み物を出してくれ、特にパイナップルがおいしかったです♪溶岩洞窟アドベンチャーは、洞窟に入るのではなく、外から様子を見て説明を受けるという感じですが近くまで寄ってくれるので自然のパワーを十分に感じられます。帰る途中、偶然（？）イルカの群れに遭遇し、水族館のショーさながらのジャンプを間近で見れたことには感動しました。
他の参加者の方たちは大丈夫そうでしたが、私はシュノーケリングで体が冷えてしまったので、パーカを持って行って正解でした。

Experience the scale of the Big Island! ハワイ島のスケールを体感！

Reviewed by: カリメロ

I was drawn to the rafting and the phrase "Lava Cave Adventure," so I joined this tour. Everyone else was American. I couldn't understand English at all, but I was able to enjoy the atmosphere.

Seeing the Big Island of Hawaii from the sea was impressive, and it reminded me that there are still many uncharted areas and that it is a volcanic island. On the way there, I was nervous because I wasn't used to the speed of the boat and the seating position, but I got used to it on the way back. To see the land from my seat, I had to turn my body, so choosing the right seating point is important. The boat occasionally slowed down and spun around, which felt like riding a roller coaster and was fun.

It was my first time snorkeling, and there were plenty of fish, which I enjoyed. They lent floaties to those who were inexperienced, so I think it alleviated the anxiety for beginners. There was no explanation of how long we would be snorkeling, so I didn't know when it would end. The fruit they served on the boat was very delicious. Since my body was cold, it would have been even better if they had offered warm drinks instead of just water.

I had imagined cave exploration with the phrase "Lava Cave Adventure," but there were no caves, just entering a cove, which was disappointing and different from my expectations. However, I was very moved and satisfied to see dolphins jumping and swimming in a pod very close to us on the way back.

ラフティングと「溶岩洞窟アドベンチャー」というフレーズに惹かれ、このツアーに参加しました。私達以外は全員アメリカ人でした。英語が全く判らなかったですが、雰囲気は十分楽しめました。
海から見るハワイ島はスケールが大きくて、まだ未開の地が沢山ある事や火山の島であることを再認識できました。往きはボートのスピード感や座る体勢に慣れずに緊張しましたが、帰りは慣れました。座る位置で陸を見るには体を反転させなければならず、座るポイント選びも重要かと思います。ボートは時折スピードを緩めたり回転したりと、ジェットコースターに乗っている様で楽しかったです。
シュノーケリングは初めてでしたが、魚もたくさんいて楽しめました。不慣れな人には浮き輪を貸してくれたので、初心者の方の不安感は取り除けると思います。何分ぐらいという説明がなかったので、終了のタイミングが判りませんでした。船上で切り分けてくれたフルーツはとても美味しかったです。体が冷えているので、お水より温かい飲み物が出ればなお更GOODでした。
「溶岩洞窟アドベンチャー」というフレーズで洞窟探検を想像していたのですが、洞窟らしきものはなく、入江に入っただけだったので、イメージと違いガッカリしました。
帰りにイルカのジャンピングや群れをとても近くで見れた事にはとても感動し、満足しました。

I recommend participating. 参加をお勧めします

Reviewed by: YUKARI

My husband and I have very little English skills. Even so, the captain and the female crew members were very considerate, and we had no trouble at all, even though we were the only two Japanese on board. The staff's smiles during check-in were pleasant, and above all, the camaraderie between the captain and the crew was evident, creating a friendly atmosphere that extended to the guests, making everyone very friendly by the end of the tour.

The tour started with dolphin watching. We sped out to sea on a speedboat, passing various tour boats. Then, we spotted a pod of dolphins. They jumped and performed impressive twists that made me think, "Are you Shirai-kun?" They chased the boat and swam right next to us. We were just sitting on the edge of the boat, so the experience felt incredibly real. The dolphins were very generous with their performances. Since there were no other boats around, it might have been the captain's secret spot.

We also had plenty of time for snorkeling. On the way back, the boat tilted so much that I thought it might capsize, and the captain was really into it. It was much more thrilling and fun than any amusement park attraction. The lava caves were definitely a place that other boats wouldn't reach. I highly recommend participating. By the way, my husband and I are in our 60s, and many of the Americans participating were quite elderly as well.

英語力がほとんどない私達夫婦。 それでもキャプテンや同乗の女性クルーが何かと気を遣ってくれ、日本人は2人だけという状況でも全く困りませんでした。
チェックインの時もスタッフの笑顔が感じよかったし、何よりもキャプテンとクルーの仲が良く、その雰囲気がゲストにまで伝わってツアーの終わりには皆が大変フレンドリーになっていました。ツアーはイルカウォッチングからスタート。いろんなツアーの船が来ていたところからスピードボートで沖へひたすら走る、走る。すると、そこにイルカの群れが。ジャンプして、おまけに、おまえは白井君かと思わず感心するほどの見事なひねり。ボートの後を追いかけたり、すぐ横を泳いだり。何せボートの縁に腰かけているだけですから、そのリアルなことといったら。イルカ君たちも大サービス。他の船はいませんでしたからキャプテンの秘密ポイントかも。
シュノーケリングの時間もたっぷり。帰りにはボートがひっくり返るんじゃないかというくらいあっちに傾けたりこっちに傾けたり、キャプテンもノリノリ。そこいらのアトラクションよりずっと迫力があり面白かったですよ。溶岩洞窟は他のボートでは絶対あそこまで行けないだろうし。参加をお勧めします。ちなみに私達夫婦は60代。参加されていた米国の方達も結構高齢でしたよ。

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
