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＞

For those who love attractions! Highly recommended! アトラクション大好きな人！ かなりオススメです！

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。

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

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。

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.

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

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

Reviewed by: benimama

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾　シュノーリングツアー ＜軽食付き／英語ガイド＞

Amazing! 凄い

Reviewed by: くりあず

It was clear and sunny, but perhaps because of the strong winds, it was more aggressive than I expected! It was more fun than a roller coaster at an amusement park, and I highly recommend it. The snorkeling was also wonderful with beautifully colored fish, which was very soothing.

快晴でいたが風が強かったせいか、期待以上にアグレッシヴでした！遊園地のジェットコースターより面白い、かなりお薦めです。シュノーケリングも素晴らしい色の魚たちで、癒されました。

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＞

I'm really glad I participated. 参加して本当によかったです

Reviewed by: Mint

I participated in a tour that included dolphin watching, snorkeling, and a barbecue lunch, and it was great. The participants were all foreigners, and the staff were kind, cheerful, and a lot of fun, making for an amazing half-day experience.

I was worried about getting seasick, but it was so enjoyable that I didn't have time to feel seasick at all, and I was completely fine.

The meeting point at the pier was very close to the hotel, which was very convenient.

The hamburgers grilled by the staff were the best!

イルカウォッチングとシュノーケル、
その上バーベキューランチ付のツアーがよかったので、
こちらのツアーに参加しました。
参加者は外国人ばかりで、スタッフも親切で明るくて

とっても便利でした。

スタッフが焼いてくれるハンバーガーが

The meeting place is quite difficult to find.
You need to be somewhat accustomed to driving.
There were quite a few people who seemed to be affluent.

集合場所はかなりわかりにくいです。　
運転に多少慣れておく必要があります。　
少し富裕層な感じの人が多かったです。

It's reassuring. 安心です

Reviewed by: ぱんだ

You can enjoy it with a middle school level of English proficiency. I think it's a safe tour. Even in the middle of summer, it can be cold on the way back, so it's better to bring a jacket.

中学生レベルの英語力で充分楽しめます。　
安全なツアーだと思います。真夏でも帰りは寒いので上着持参したほうがいいです。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾　シュノーリングツアー ＜軽食付き／英語ガイド＞

There are a lot of fish. 魚がたくさん

Reviewed by: 新川貴洋

I was amazed by the abundance of fish and the clarity of the water in Carelac Bay. It was fantastic to see dolphins as well. The captain's boat handling and the way he braked when entering the cave were exquisite, making for an exhilarating and enjoyable experience.

ケアラクケア湾の魚の多さと海のクリアさにはびっくりしました。
イルカも見れて最高でした。
船長さんのボートの運転も洞窟に突っ込む際のブレーキのしかたも絶妙でハラハラしながら気持ちいい体験ができました。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾　シュノーリングツアー ＜軽食付き／英語ガイド＞

It's just like a roller coaster. まさにジェットコースター

Reviewed by: dtt_fcn

I participated in the afternoon session, but I made a mistake with the meeting time and arrived a bit late, though they waited for me. The staff was kind.

The rafting exceeded my expectations in terms of speed, just as the reviews said. We bounced off the waves and then dropped suddenly, and my backside was getting hit repeatedly. Of course, I couldn't let go of the handrails.

After quite a distance, we were taken to the snorkeling spot, where we stayed for an hour. They also lent us noodle-shaped floaties. Without those, I, being in my forties, would have reached my physical limit. There were sea urchins scattered on the rocks, and I saw a lot of fish. It was quite deep just a little away from the shore, which was a bit scary. After returning home, I learned about the shark incident, so thinking back, I'm just glad I was safe.

Since the sun wasn't shining too much, my 8-year-old son got cold after about 15 minutes and got back on the boat, so I followed shortly after. That was a mistake... I tend to get seasick, and I completely got seasick on the boat that was anchored and swaying with the waves. They provided snacks, drinks, and cut fruits, and my son was munching away. I was struggling during the waiting time and felt like I was going to pass out (laughs).

On the way back, I was just thinking about how I couldn't wait to get back, but it seemed that the four boys, including my 8-year-old, were very satisfied.

As you can see, opinions within the family were quite divided, so it might be tough for those who are not fond of roller coasters, but I recommend it for those who love speed and find the beach a bit lacking.

午後の部参加でしたが、集合時間を間違え、少し遅れましたが待っててくれました。スタッフは親切です。

ラフティング、口コミ通り予想を超えるスピードでした。波に当たっては跳ね上がりそして急落下、お尻もドンドン打ち付けられます。もちろん手は絶対手すりを離せません。

まだかまだかと結構な距離を走り、シュノーケリングスポットに連れて来られて、そこで1時間滞在。
ヌードルという棒状の浮き輪も貸してくれます。これがないとアラフォーの私は体力的に限界。岩場にはウニもゴロゴロ、お魚もたくさん見れました。岸から少し離れただけでかなり深いので、少し怖かったな。
帰国後、サメの事件を知ったので、今考えると無事で何よりです。

太陽があまり照ってなかったので8歳の息子が15分程で寒がり、ボートに上がったので私も間も無く上がりました。
それがいけなかった。。
元々船酔いする私は、その停泊して波に揺られるボートに完全に酔ってしまいました。
スナック菓子や飲物、カットフルーツを出してくれて、息子はムシャムシャ食べてました。私はそれからの待ち時間が辛過ぎて、気を失いそうでした（笑）

帰りのボートも早く着かないかとばかり考えてましたが、私以外の8歳児含む男4人は大満足だったようです。

このように家族内でも評価が真っ二つなので、ジェットコースターが苦手な方には辛いかもしれませんが、スピード好きな方、ビーチでは物足りない方にはオススメです。
