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＞

The staff is great! Refreshing and blue sea! I want to go again! スタッフもGoo！爽快・蒼海！また行きたい！

Reviewed by: S＆J from 湘南

Rafting that feels like a roller coaster is absolutely exhilarating! It runs so fast, you wonder how far it will go.

We had plenty of snorkeling at two spots, Honauanu Bay and Kealakekua Bay. The warm water was comfortable, and the sea was deep yet endlessly clear and blue. When we went to a slightly shallower rocky area, we were surrounded by a huge school of fish—so satisfying!

Along the way, we heard stories about Captain Cook and learned that two-thirds of the Big Island is hidden underwater, making it the largest mountain in the world, and how tsunamis have shaped the land. There were also discussions about the climate and Kona coffee, with various guides sharing information.

On the way back, we sped along at full throttle! Just when I thought we were going to crash into a rock, we made a sharp turn—phew! Then, just as I thought we were going to hit something again, we suddenly slowed down and quietly entered a cave, where the sea was a mystical emerald green. The guide explained why the minerals make the water look blue, the geological layers, and how big waves lifted large rocks and placed them on the shore. He provided a lot of detailed explanations, but it was hard to follow because he spoke so quickly in English. Still, it was fun!

The staff was very kind. Even though I couldn't understand everything he said in fast English, he kept calling me by my first name, which made me feel comfortable. They also allowed us to store our bags, so I felt secure. I definitely want to go again!

ジェットコースターみたいなラフティングは爽快そのもの！どこまで行くのってくらい走る。
ホナウナウ湾とケアラケクア湾の２カ所でたっぷりシュノーケリング。温暖な水温で快適、深いけどどこまでも透明で蒼い海、少し浅めの岩場に行けば大群に囲まれ大～満足！
途中でキャプテンクックの話やハワイ島は海の下に２／３も隠れてて世界で一番大きな山だとか津波が来て削ったとか気候やらコナコーヒーの話を交えいろんなガイドをしてくれたよ。
帰りもめちゃくちゃ飛ばすね～全速力だぁ！あ～岩にぶつかる～～っと思ったら急旋回、ふぅう～ホっ。またまたぶつかる～～と思ったら急減速し静かに洞窟の中へ、そこは神秘的なエメラルドグリーンの海。鉱物の種類がなんでだから青く見えるんだとか地層とか、大波が来て大きな岩を持ち上げて岩場に置いたのがあれだとか、いろいろ詳しい解説してくれたけど早口の英語でチンプンカンプン、でも楽しいのが良いよね～～。
スタッフはとっても親切。早口の英語で何言ってんだかわかんなかったけど下の名前でずーっと呼んでくれて快適だった。荷物もカバン1個くらいなら必要以外は仕舞ってもらえるんで安心でした。またぜひ行きたいです！

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＞

The snorkeling was very satisfying, but the lava cave was different from what I imagined. シュノーケルは大満足、でも溶岩洞窟はイメージ違いました

Reviewed by: こまこ

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

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

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

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

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

Reviewed by: みーや

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

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

Great Snorkel Cruise

Reviewed by: HawaiiLove

Family trip with 3 teenage boys. Everyone loved it. Water slides were a fun addition. Good breakfast and lunch including vegetarian options. Snuba on trip was not as fulfilling. Overpriced ($69 additional to cruise charge) and too short(30mins). For the price, they should have included that free with the cruise as others do. Otherwise, great trip. Thanks~

Traveling by speedboat was refreshing. The snorkeling was amazing, with the water being very clear and transparent. I was so engrossed in watching the fish that I lost track of time. I was thrilled to encounter dolphins. It was adorable to see a mother and baby dolphin surfacing for air at the same time.
Seeing the vastness of the Big Island of Hawaii from the sea made me feel like I was in a foreign land.

高速ボートでの移動は気持ちがよかったです。シュノーケルは水がとても綺麗で透き通っていました。時間を忘れるほど夢中に魚たちを見ていました。イルカにも遭遇して感動しました。親子のイルカが同時に息継ぎをする姿が可愛かったです。
広大なハワイ島を海から見て、外国を感じることができました。

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 can recommend it for families with children. 子供連れにもオススメできます

Reviewed by: ハワイ島最高！

We participated as a family with our three children, aged 11, 8, and 5.

The snorkeling location was quite deep (over 10-15 meters?), and since our youngest child couldn't swim, we had some concerns. However, they provided children's life jackets, and with the floaties we brought, the kids were able to float and enjoy themselves. The older two were initially scared, but as they got used to it, they enjoyed snorkeling in the clear sea. The staff were also very friendly, and the freshly made hamburgers were delicious. We even got to see dolphins along the way, making it a very satisfying tour overall.

Since the boat ride to the snorkeling location is quite long, it's advisable for those prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication beforehand (the older child got seasick). If you have small children, bringing floaties would enhance their enjoyment as well.

Despite a few challenges, it was a very enjoyable tour, and I can definitely recommend it for families.

11歳、8歳、5歳の3人の子供と家族で参加しました。

シュノーケリングする場所は結構深く（10～15ｍ以上？）、
下の子供は泳ぐことができない為、多少不安もありましたが、
子供用のライフジャケットも完備されており、持参した浮き輪を使って
ぷかぷかと浮かんで楽しんでいました。
上の２人も最初は怖がっていましたが、慣れてくるとシュノーケルを使って
透き通った海を楽しんでいました。
スタッフの方も非常に親切で、焼き立てのハンバーガも美味しかったです。
途中イルカにも会うことができ、ツアーとしては非常に満足できるものでした。

シュノーケリングする場所まで結構乗船する為、船酔いする方は
酔い止めを必ず飲んでいった方が良いです。（上の子は酔いました）
また小さな子供がいるようであれば、浮き輪も持参した方が楽しめると
思います。

いろいろとありましたが、ツアーとしては非常に楽しめるもので
家族連れの方にも十分おすすめできます。

Reviewed by: ラブリン

On the boat, they ask for your fin size and provide you with the appropriate ones. They also have snorkeling gear available. They lend you a type of life jacket that wraps around your waist (suitable for both children and adults), so you don’t need to bring your own goggles.

It takes about an hour to reach Cook's Tower by boat, and even though our family took motion sickness medication, we felt a bit queasy. The BBQ cheeseburgers were incredibly delicious, just as mentioned in other reviews! The breakfast muffins were tasty, reminiscent of Costco's.

This was my family's first time participating after visiting the Big Island six times, and we were more satisfied than with any other tour. The beauty of the ocean was amazing.

船の上で、フィンのサイズを聞いて、サイズにあったものを貸してくれます。シュノーケリング道具も。
浮き輪も腰に巻くタイプの（子供から大人まで）ライフジャケット（？）浮きを貸してくれるので、ゴーグルなどの持参も必要ないです。
クックの塔まで１時間くらい船に揺られるので、私たち家族は（酔い止め薬を飲んでいても）少し酔いました。
ＢＢＱのチーズバーガーは他の書き込み通り、とっても美味しかったです！朝食のマフィンはコストコのかな？って感じで美味しかったです。
６度目のハワイ島で、初参加でしたがどの観光よりも満足で、海の綺麗さが素晴らしかったです。

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＞

Blue sea, a sense of freedom, dolphins. 青い海、開放感、イルカ

Reviewed by: アンジェリカ

We participated as a couple in our 40s, with a child and my mother in her 70s who cannot speak English. The boat has two levels; the first floor has shaded areas and tables, but all the seats were "reserved," making it difficult to find a place to sit. We were the only Japanese family, and all announcements were in English. There was one men's restroom, one women's restroom, and one unisex restroom.

When we first arrived, there was a small breakfast buffet with about two types of muffin-like bread and fruit. Water, coffee, and soft drinks were free, but alcohol cost extra.

Right after departure, we were able to see a pod of dolphins swimming quite close to us, which was thrilling. There were no sea turtles, but flying fish were gliding through the air like birds, which was exciting! Upon reaching the snorkeling point, everyone gathered on the first floor for a detailed safety briefing about the snorkeling area. There seemed to be a class for those snorkeling for the first time. Unlike Japanese snorkeling tours, there was no selection of fins or goggles; it was self-service. Most people swam without lifeguards, so the number of lifeguards was limited, but there were long styrofoam rods that everyone seemed to hold onto while swimming.

For lunch, there was a buffet with bread, hamburgers, vegetables, and fruits, where we could take our favorite ingredients and make our own sandwiches. It was very delicious under the blue sky.

I thought we would arrive at the port by 12:30, but that was actually the end time for snorkeling. The water temperature was not too low, and the sea was deep, allowing us to see many fish. On the way back to the port, we were thrilled to see another pod of dolphins. The foreign participants were friendly and approachable, and I was particularly surprised that the customers were kind to my mother, who was flustered and unable to speak English, offering her their place in line. I thought this aspect of foreign culture was truly wonderful. By the way, my elderly mother stayed on the boat without swimming, but she said she had a great time without any worries.

After the tour, there were many small shops like stalls at the port, and I unexpectedly bought a Kona coffee bag that I had wanted for a long time, which was a nice bonus. I was filled with anxiety before signing up, but I would love to participate again.

40代夫婦、子供、70代英会話できない母親と参加。船は1階と2階があり、1階は日よけスペースとテーブルつきの席がありますが、どれも「reserved」で座れず、席を確保するのが大変でした。日本人家族は私たちだけ、アナウンスは全部英語です。トイレは男性用1、女性用1、男女兼用1でした。まず最初に行くと、朝食バイキング(小規模)をやっています。マフィンのようなパン2種程とフルーツ等。水、コーヒー、ソフトドリンクは無料。アルコールはお金がかかります。
出発してすぐにドルフィンの群れを見る事ができました。かなり近くまで泳いできてくれて感激。ウミガメはいませんでした。でもトビウオが鳥みたいにスイスイ飛んでいて感激！ポイントに到着し、全員1階に集合して、シュノーケルで泳いでいいエリア、安全確認の綿密な説明を受けます。シュノーケル初めての人のための教室もあったようです。日本のシュノーケルツアーのようにフィンやゴーグルを選んでくれることもなくセルフサービスです。ほとんとの人がライフセーバーなしで泳ぐので、ライフセーバーの数も限られていますが、ライフセーバーの代わりに細長いスチロール棒があり、これにつかまって皆泳いでいたようです。
ランチは、パン、ハンバーグ、野菜、果物などがバイキング形式に並んでいて、好きな具を自分で取ってはさんで食べる方式でした。青い空の下、とてもおいしいお味でした。
12時半に港に着くのかと思っていたら、シュノーケル終了が12時半でした。水温もそれほど低くなく、海が深くてたくさんの魚を見る事ができました。港に戻る途中、またイルカの群れを見る事ができて感激しました。参加している外国の人たちも、気さくに声をかけてくださったり、特に驚いたのは、英語が全然できなくておろおろしている母に、お客さん達が優しく接してくださり順番を譲ってくださったりしたことです。こういった外国の文化は本当に素晴らしいと思いました。ちなみに高齢の母は、泳がずにずっと船の上にいましたが、気兼ねなく楽しかったと話していました。ツアーが終わって、港の停泊所にはたくさんの屋台？のような小物のお店が軒を連ねていて、以前から欲しかったコナコーヒーのバッグを思いがけず購入することができ、二度特でした。申し込む前は不安でいっぱいでしたが、また参加したいです。

Snorkeling was fun, but... シュノーケリングは楽しかったけど。

Reviewed by: orange

We were the only Japanese family. I forgot to contact them the day before, but it was totally fine. The ups and downs were intense, and I was desperately holding onto the boat, terrified of being thrown off. It's not suitable for those with back problems. There was a 1-2 minute break along the way, but the trip there was much longer and quite tough compared to the return. Shorter people especially had a hard time, so it's better to sit towards the back, but the foreigners had already boarded first. I got really seasick on the way there. Since no one spoke Japanese, I couldn't express my discomfort even if I felt unwell. There were no restrooms, and we couldn't get to shore. The boat was narrow and in the blazing sun without any shade, which might be tough for those on their period. You can leave your luggage behind.

Snorkeling was a lot of fun, and the female guide was very kind and helpful. There were only a few fish, but I saw an eel. A mother and baby dolphin were also swimming around the boat. The snorkeling time was about an hour. On the way back, they served fruit and drinks. It was a nearby place accessible by car, so I think individuals could go there too. There were also other tours that came by car. On the way back, they took us to see caves that can only be viewed from the boat (just a quick look), which was nice.

It was a valuable experience, so I had a decent amount of fun, but I don't want to participate again (laughs). I think the American atmosphere with mostly foreigners is enjoyable, so if you're energetic, go for it!

日本人は私たち家族だけだった。前の日に連絡を忘れたけど全然ＯＫでした。
アップダウンが激しくとにかくボートに必死につかまっていないと振り落とされる恐怖で必死。腰の悪い人は無理。
途中で１～２分休憩が入るけど、行きの時間は帰りより長くかなりきつかった。
背の小さい人はとくに大変なので、なるべく後ろの場所に座るといいけど外国人勢がすでに先に乗っていた。
行きで船酔いがひどくなった。
日本語は全く通じないので体調が悪くても訴える余裕はなかった。トイレもないし岸に上がることもできない。ボートは狭く日陰のない炎天下なので生理中の人には厳しいかも。手荷物は置いておけます。
シュノーケリングはとても楽しかったし、ガイドの女性もとても優しく親切な方でした。
魚はほんの少し。ウツボが見れた。イルカの親子もボートの周りを泳いでいました。シュノーケリングの時間は１時間ほど。帰りはフルーツ、ドリンクのサービス。
車でも行ける近場の場所だったので個人でも行けると思った。他にも車で来ているツアーもありました。
帰りはボートでしか見れない洞窟などに（ちょっと見るだけ）連れていってくれたのでそれは良かったです。
貴重な体験だったのでまぁそれなりに楽しかったけど、私はもう二度と参加したくないです（笑）
外人ばかりでアメリカンな雰囲気が楽しいとは思うので元気な人はどうぞ！

It's an exhilarating experience! スリリングな体験です！

Reviewed by: megu

During my trip to the Big Island, I was considering snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay. There were several tour options for transportation (like sea kayaking or boat rides), but I decided to join this tour because I wanted to enjoy the journey itself and it had great reviews.

I was extremely satisfied! We traveled by rubber boat, which was thrilling with quite a bit of speed. It felt like being on a roller coaster, bouncing up and down with the waves. At first, I was scared when we suddenly picked up speed, but once I got used to it, the wind felt nice, and I enjoyed it like an attraction.

Snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay was also beautiful, with clear waters, magnificent coral reefs, and a variety of fish. After about an hour, when I was getting tired, we returned to the boat where drinks, snacks, fruits, and sandwiches were prepared, and they were delicious.

On the way back, we were shown caves and coves formed by lava, which can only be seen from the sea, making it a valuable experience. Additionally, we were lucky enough to encounter a pod of dolphins, and the boat stopped to give us time to enjoy watching the leaping dolphins. It was my first time seeing so many dolphins at once.

Overall, there was never a dull moment, and it became a wonderful memory. I highly recommend it.

As a note, the travel time on the rubber boat is quite long, and towels are not included in the tour, so I think it's a good idea to bring one for when you get back on the boat after snorkeling.

ハワイ島への旅行中にケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングをしようと考えていました。
移動手段としてはいくつかツアーがありましたが（シーカヤックや船での移動）、移動そのものでも楽しみたかったこと、口コミ評価も高かったことからこちらのツアーへの参加を決めました。
ところ、、大満足でした！
ゴムボートで移動するのですが、かなりスピードが出てスリリングです。ジェットコースターに乗っているような感覚で、波に揺られて上下にも激しく揺れます。はじめに急にスピードが出た時は怖かったですが、慣れれば風も気持ちよく、アトラクション気分で楽しめました。
ケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングも、透明な海に壮大なサンゴ礁に様々なお魚が住んでおり、とても美しかったです。１時間くらいでしょうか、疲れた頃にボートに戻るとドリンク・スナック・フルーツ・サンドイッチが用意されており、とても美味しかったです。
帰りは途中に溶岩でできた洞窟や入江を案内してくれますが、これは海からでないと見ることのできない風景なので、貴重な経験でした。
また、運良くイルカの群れに遭遇したところ、ボートを止めてゆっくり時間をとってくれたので、飛び跳ねるイルカを堪能しました。一度にあんなに沢山のイルカを見たのは初めてです。
全体を通して飽きる箇所がなく、とても良い思い出になりました。おすすめです。

注意点とすれば、ゴムボートに乗っての移動時間がかなり長いということとと、タオルはツアーに含まれていないので、シュノーケリングからボードにあがったときのために用意した方がいいと思います。

Enjoying Hawaii Island from the sea. 海から楽しむハワイ島

Reviewed by: nori

The general flow of this tour is dolphin watching → snorkeling → lunch → sightseeing along the coastline. With about 15 participants sitting on the edge of the boat, we moved through the ocean boldly, which was a bit nerve-wracking at first, but it felt great to travel while enjoying the view of the Big Island and the sea with the wind in our faces.

On the way to the snorkeling spot, we saw a lot of dolphins, and being able to see them up close was the highlight for me. The boat quickly maneuvered ahead of the direction the pod was moving, allowing us to see the dolphins up close, which I think is unique to this boat. I couldn't help but keep clicking the camera shutter.

When we started snorkeling, equipment was distributed and there was an explanation, but I hardly understood any English. Since we were the only Japanese participants, I was mimicking those around me to put on the gear, and it was helpful that other participants noticed and kindly gestured to point out important things. I was thrilled to see beautiful fish up close while snorkeling, but the seawater felt cold, so I returned to the boat early.

After that, drinks were served on the boat, and we enjoyed a leisurely time while having sandwiches along with snacks and fruits. On the way back, we admired various points along the coastline that had been eroded by the waves into strange shapes, but it was disappointing that we didn't enter any caves.

This tour is perfect for enjoying the waters of the Big Island, and I was satisfied with the thrilling experiences that are not commonly found in Japan, as well as the opportunity to experience Hawaii's nature from the sea.

このツアーのおおまかな流れは、イルカ鑑賞→シュノーケリング→ランチ→海岸線のスポット見学になります。
15人程度の参加者がボートのふちに腰掛けるスタイルで豪快に海を移動しますので始めは緊張しましたが、ハワイ島と海を眺めつつ風を受けながらの移動は気持ちがいいです。

シュノーケリングのポイントへ向かうまでにたくさんイルカがいて、間近で見れたのが一番嬉しかったです。群れの移動する方向にボートがいち早く先回りするので間近にイルカ見れるのはこのボートならではかと思います。ついカメラのシャッターを切り続けてしまいました。

シュノーケリングを始める際、道具が配られ説明がありますが英語がほとんどわかりません。さらに日本人は私たちだけのため周囲のまねをして道具を着けていると、注意する点があったらしく周りの参加者が気付いて身振りで親切に教えてくれたのには助けられました。
シュノーケリング中きれいな魚も間近で見れて嬉しかったですが、海水が冷たく感じられ早々とボートへ戻ってしまいました。

その後ボートの上でドリンクが配られスナックやフルーツなどもあるサンドイッチのランチを取りながらのんびりした時間を過ごします。
帰りは海岸線に沿って波に削られ奇妙な形をしたポイントなど各所をボートから眺めますが、洞窟には入ることが無くこちらは残念でした。

ハワイ島の海を楽しむのに最適なツアーで、日本ではあまり見掛けないスリリングな体験や海からハワイの自然を体感できる内容に満足しました。

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

Majestic ocean! 壮大な海！

Reviewed by: Y.N

We didn't understand English at all, but we received instructions written in Japanese, so there were no problems at all.
We were super excited to encounter a pod of dolphins and whales!
It would be amazing to capture videos with an underwater camera!
The number of fish while snorkeling was a bit on the lower side, so I give it four stars.
The caves are viewed from the boat.
But overall, we were very satisfied!

英語が全くわからない私たちでしたが、日本語で書かれた説明書をいただけるので、何の問題もなかったです。
沖でイルカやクジラの群れに会うことができて大興奮でした☆
水中カメラで動画なんて撮れたら最高ですよ！
シュノーケルでは魚の数がやや少なめだったので星４つです。
洞窟は船の上から見る感じです。
でもトータル的に大満足です！。。

Thrilling スリル満点

Reviewed by: 辻公恵

I highly recommend this for people who love marine sports. It's a 4 to 5-hour tour on a rubber boat. During that time, the guide shares fun stories, and if we encounter a pod of dolphins, we can paddle alongside them. At the snorkeling spot, we stop the boat and everyone enjoys snorkeling individually. For lunch, they provide sandwiches, fruits, and drinks. We spend about two hours here, and once we're full, we get back on the boat to start rafting along the exposed lava rock formations. We went to the blowhole area while the guide entertained us with thrilling steering. We lost track of time and had an incredibly fun experience. The beautifully clear blue sea, playing with the fish, made it a truly enjoyable time. Thank you very much!

マリンスポーツが好きな人にはお勧めです。４，５時間ゴムボートの上でのツアーです。その間ガイドさんの楽しいおしゃべりとイルカの群れに出会えばイルカと一緒にボートを進め、シュノーケリングの場所ではボートを止めて皆シュノーケリングをめいめい楽しみます。お昼はサンドイッチやフルーツ、ドリンクなど出ます。ここで２時間ぐらい過ごしおなか一杯になったら又ボートに乗り今度は溶岩丸出しの岩肌に沿ってラフティング開始、溶岩説明など汐吹岩の場所まで行きスリリングな舵さばきで私たちを楽しませていただきました。時間を忘れあっという間の楽しいときを過ごしました。真っ青な透明度の良い綺麗な海、魚たちと戯れ時間を忘れ満喫してとっても楽しかったです。有難うございました。

Zodiac ゾディアック号

Reviewed by: takuma horiuchi

This time, I visited Hawaii for my honeymoon and went to the Big Island for the first time. Since it was the Big Island, I was looking for activities to experience its nature, and I found this tour. The Zodiac boat is an inflatable boat, so it was thrilling, and I could fully enjoy the Hawaiian breeze. During the voyage, I was able to see many schools of fish and wild dolphins. While snorkeling, I got to see various fish in the beautiful sea, which was very satisfying. Everyone else who participated with us was foreign, and there were no staff who spoke Japanese, which was a bit inconvenient, but it was a valuable experience overall. For lunch, they prepared sandwiches, snacks, and fruits right there on the spot. Eating lunch on the boat was pleasant and fantastic. However, while moving, despite being an inflatable boat, it goes at quite a speed, so you have to hold on tightly, or you might get thrown off. Therefore, it may not be recommended for elderly people or those who are prone to seasickness. Nonetheless, I had a very valuable experience and was satisfied. Thank you!

今回ハネムーンでハワイを訪れ初めてハワイ島に訪れました。せっかくのハワイ島なのでハワイ島の自然を感じられるアクティビティを探してたところこのツアーを見つけました。ゾディアック号はゴムボートなのでスリリングでハワイの風を存分に感じることができました。航海の途中では魚の群れや野生のイルカをたくさん見ることができました。シュノーケリングではとても綺麗な海の中で様々な魚を見ることができ大満足でした。一緒に参加した人たちは自分たち以外はすべて外国人でショップの人たちも日本語をしゃべれる人がいなかったため少し不便でしたがそれ以上に貴重な体験ができました。ランチにはサンドイッチやスナック菓子、フルーツまでその場で切って用意してくれます。ボートの上で食べるランチも気持ちよく最高でした。ただ移動中はゴムボートにもかかわらずかなりのスピードで走るのでかなり踏ん張って捕まってないと振り落とされそうになります。なのでご年配の方や船酔いしやすい方はあまりお勧めできないかもしれません。ただ私は大変貴重な体験ができ満足でした。
ありがとうございました！

It was great. よかったです。

Reviewed by: Miyako

The boat offers an incredibly fast roller coaster experience. You can enjoy the lava from the outside of Hawaii Island. The snorkeling was exceptionally beautiful. The fish playing in the protected coral reefs were truly colorful and there were many different species. They took plenty of time, and it was very healing.

The cave exploration was during the day, so we couldn't go inside due to high tide, but we were able to enjoy the view. We encountered wild dolphins. All the explanations were in English. The meeting place was hard to find, and it felt like searching for the SeaQuest vehicle at the port.

ボートは非常に非常に早くジェットコースター気分を味わえます。外からのハワイ島の溶岩が堪能できます。シュノーケリングは最高にきれいでした。保護されているサンゴ礁で遊ぶ魚たちは本当に色鮮やかで種類も沢山。時間も沢山とってくれ非常に癒されました。
洞窟探検は昼ツアーだったせいか満ち潮で中にははいれず眺める程度。でも野生のイルカに遭遇できました。説明は全部英語。集合場所はわかりにくく港のシークエストの車を探す感じ。

I encountered whales even in May! Thank you, Captain!! 5月でもクジラに出逢えた！サンキュー！キャプテン！！

Reviewed by: Sumi

The participants were a foreign elderly couple, one foreign woman, and us, a couple from Nagoya, Japan, along with our 10-year-old son, making a total of six people. At the beginning, during check-in, we were asked if we could speak English, and we were given a printed explanation in Japanese. However, that printout did not necessarily follow the order of the spots we would visit. The captain provided explanations while making jokes, but it was quite confusing. I thought it would have been helpful if he had indicated which part he was explaining at the moment. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand the details of the explanations at each point, which was disappointing. Reading the printout was also a hassle, especially for children. Our family, who can only speak broken English, really felt the need to be able to communicate in English! My husband asked the captain several times to speak in Japanese, and when he said it in English, the captain replied that he couldn't speak Japanese, which was amusing to witness.

On our way to the bay, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and it was adorable to see a baby dolphin swimming alongside its parent! If I could wish for anything, it would have been to swim with them. Later, the captain quickly spotted a whale and made a swift turn to approach it. We were curious about what he was pointing at, and to our surprise, there was a whale right in front of us! The day before, we had participated in a kayak tour to a cave and heard that the whales would leave in April, so we were amazed to see a wild whale up close for the first time. Our family was incredibly moved by the experience.

Additionally, the captain occasionally tried to speak Japanese for our sake, but it seemed he had mistakenly learned to refer to whales as "Godzilla," as he kept pointing at the whale and saying, "Godzilla! Godzilla!" We couldn't help but laugh when we realized what he meant. This was our first time on the Big Island, and the water was incredibly clear. We swam with many tropical fish and felt like we could stay there forever, losing track of time while exploring underwater. The water temperature was warm in the shallow areas and cooler in the deeper parts, but we were constantly amazed by the stunning blue of the ocean. The lunch sandwiches were delicious, and the captain prepared fresh pineapple for us, which was perfectly chilled and fantastic! The boat was fast and thrilling with sharp turns, and our child was overjoyed. We plan to come back to the Big Island next year!

参加者は、外国人の老夫婦、外国人女性1人と私達、日本の名古屋人夫婦と10才の息子の6人でした。始めに、チェックイン時に英語が話せるか確認されて、日本語の説明プリントが渡されましたが、そのプリントは、必ずしも周る順でなく、スポットで立ち寄ってくれてキャプテンがなにやら、ジョークを交じながら説明してくれてるのですが、ちんぷんかんぷんで、説明の時に今はここを説明してるとか言ってくれると解って良かったのになと思いました。なので、ポイントごとの説明内容は、解らずで残念でした。やはり、プリントを読むのも面倒なので、特に子供などは。かたことの英語しか話せないうちらファミリーは、英語が話せなきゃいかん！とつくづく痛感したのでした。主人は、何度かキャプテンに日本語で言って！と英語で言えば、キャプテンも日本語話せんよと返してましたが、その2人のやりとりは、笑えました。湾に行く途中、イルカの群れに会い赤ちゃんイルカが、親子で並走したりして可愛かったです！欲言えば、一緒に泳ぎたかったですが。その後、キャプテンは、目ざとくクジラを見つけると素早く方向転換し、スーッとクジラに近づきはじめ私達は、なんだろうと思い指差す方を見てみると、なんと！小さいながらもクジラが目の前すぐそこにいるではありませんか！前日にカヤックで洞窟行くツアーに参加して、クジラは、四月で帰っちゃいましたと、聞いていただけに、もうびっくりで、初めて間近で見る野生のクジラに大感動の一家三人衆なのでした。あと、キャプテンは、時々、私達に気を遣ってくれて日本語を言うのですが、どうやら、クジラのことをゴジラと勘違いして覚えたらしく、しきりにクジラを指差し、ゴジラ！ゴジラ！と…何がゴジラなんだろうと？それが理解出来た時は、こちらも笑っちゃいました。今回、初ハワイ島で、海は透明度抜群で、たくさんのトロピカルフィッシュたちと泳ぎ、飽きることなくいつまでもそこにいたい感じで時の経つのも忘れてしまうほど、夢中になってずっと海中散策してしまい、水中温度は、浅瀬は高く、深い所は低いけど、吸い込まれそうな海の碧さにも感動しっぱなしでした。ランチのサンドイッチもとても美味しくてパインもその場でキャプテンがパインボードにしてくれ、良く冷えててサイコーでした！ボートは、スピードもあって急旋回してスリル満点！子供も大喜びで、来年からは、ハワイ島に来ます‼‼

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＞

One of the few tours that truly moves you. 感動を与えてくれる数少ないツアー

Reviewed by: 冒険心を忘れぬ定年夫婦

A 64-year-old man who is not good at swimming or English, along with his wife who is even less skilled in both, signed up for this tour because of the possibility of seeing dolphins swimming naturally up close.

On the day of the tour, when we arrived at the meeting place, there were four of us Japanese: a young couple and us. The rest were four pairs of older couples from the mainland United States, along with two guides, making a total of 14 people. The rubber boat was fully booked.

As we set off, we soon encountered a turtle swimming leisurely in the bay. Once we reached the open sea, the two 150-horsepower engines easily sped the light rubber boat up to 20 knots (about 37 km/h). I thought it was strange that the tour was named "rafting" even though it wasn't a white-water rafting experience, but feeling the wind and splashes of waves all over my body was refreshing. I truly felt that Americans are good at finding dynamic activities.

After about 20 minutes, we spotted them: a "pod of dolphins." Just like on TV, they started to swim alongside us. After watching for a while, they performed two aerial jumps with twists. I felt like they were playing with us, and I was very satisfied.

When we arrived at Captain Cook's Cove, we were given life jackets and cylindrical floaties since neither of us could swim. At first, I was just floating leisurely and looking at the surface of the sea when suddenly I saw a beautiful coral reef. Upon closer inspection, I noticed real, colorful tropical fish swimming around the reef. I became engrossed in observing the tropical fish and found an angelfish.

I had many opportunities to see coral reefs on submarine tours before, but I had never seen such colorful coral reefs and tropical fish. Later, I found out that the Big Island of Hawaii is a young island, so the scale of the coral reefs is small, which contributes to its world-renowned clarity.

Lastly, a word of caution: be sure to bring a hat that can be secured with a string. A baseball cap can be blown away, resulting in sunburn on your head.

泳ぐのも、英語も不得意な64歳の男と、さらにどちらも不得意な妻が、このツアーを申し込んだのは、自然に泳ぐイルカを間近で見れる可能性があるからでした。
当日、集合場所に行くと日本人は若夫婦と私達の計4名、他はアメリカ本土から来た4組の熟年カップル。そして、ガイド役の2人で計14名。これでゴムボートは満席になりました。
出発すると、まもなく湾の中をゆったり泳ぐ亀に出会いました。外海にでると、１５０馬力２機のエンジンで、軽いゴムボートを簡単に２０ノット（約37km/h）までスピードアップします。
ツアー名で「ラフティング」の文字があり急流下りでもないのに、変だなと思っていましたが、体全体で受ける風と波しぶきを浴びると、これだけで爽快感を感じ、アメリカ人はダイナミックな遊びを見つけるのが旨いことをつくづく感じました。
２０分程すると、見えました。「イルカの群れ」です。テレビで見たように、追走してくれました。暫く見てると、空中ジャンプ２回捻りを繰り返しやってくれました。遊んでくれていると感じることができ、大満足でした。
キャプテン・クック岬につき、泳げない私達二人にはライフジャケットと円柱状の浮き輪を渡されました。
最初、適当にのんびりプカリと浮きながら海面を見ていたら、突然綺麗なサンゴ礁が見え、よく見ると、本物の色とりどりの熱帯魚がサンゴ礁の周りを泳いでいるのが見えました。夢中になり熱帯魚観察をしているエンゼルフィッシュを見つけました。
潜水艦ツアーなどでサンゴ礁を見る機会がいままで何回もありましたが、これ程カラフルなサンゴ礁と熱帯魚を見たことがありませんでした。
後で、調べてみると、ハワイ島は若い島なので、サンゴ礁の規模が小さく、これが逆に世界的に有数な透明度を誇っているとのことで納得しました。
最後に注意事項ですが、帽子は紐で止めることが出来るものを持参すべし。野球帽では飛ばされてしまい、結果、頭の上が日焼けすることになります。
以上

I was moved by everything! 全てに感動しました！

Reviewed by: HATO

This was our second time on the Big Island with my husband. Last time, it was winter, so it was a bit chilly, and we couldn't go into the ocean. This time, we wanted to fully enjoy the sea, so we participated in snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, known for its stunning clarity, which is not easily accessible by car.

There was no hotel shuttle, and we had to meet at Honokohau Marina, so I think those without a car should be cautious. We had rented a car for the entire day, so it wasn't an issue for us. The instructions and explanations were all in English, but we received a printed guide in Japanese, so that was not a problem either.

I was surprised by how fast the boat was as we departed, and along the way, we saw a pod of dolphins and a school of flying fish, which was an emotional experience to see up close. The explanations about the lava caves were all in English, so I couldn't understand them, but I was able to feel enough from the printed guide and what I could see.

Furthermore, at Kealakekua Bay, I was amazed by the clarity of the water and the size of the fish. Both my husband and I were captivated, watching the fish. After returning from snorkeling, there was actually a fish book on the boat, and we were excited to find the fish we had just seen up close, exclaiming, "There it is! I saw that!!!"

We also enjoyed lunch, which included sandwiches, drinks, snacks, and fruit, and eating on the boat was exceptionally delicious.

I was moved by everything! I would love to use this service again when we visit the Big Island.

今回旦那と二人で、ハワイ島二回目で、前回は季節が冬だったので肌寒く、海に入れませんでした。
その為今回は、海を満喫しようと思い、車ではなかなか行けず、感動する透明度と名高い、ケアラケクア湾シュノーケルに参加しました。
ホテルからの送迎がなく、ホノコハウ・マリーナ集合の為、車がない方は注意が必要かと思います。
私たちは終日レンタカーを借りていたので、問題なかったです。
また終始英語での注意事項・説明でしたが、日本語のプリントを頂いたので、そこも問題なかったです。
出発して思ってたより速いボートに驚きながらも途中イルカの群れや、トビウオの群れがいて、間近で見ることが出来て感動しました。
溶岩洞窟についての説明は全て英語だったので、理解できませんでしたが、頂いたプリントと目視で充分感じることができました。
更にケアラケクア湾では、海の透明度と魚の大きさに驚きました。
私も旦那も夢中になって、魚を観賞しました。
またシュノーケリングから戻った後も実際にボートに魚の本があり、先ほど間近で見た魚を見つけることが出来て「これいたね！これ見た見た！！！」と興奮。
ランチもサンドイッチとドリンクとスナックとフルーツを頂き、ボートの上で食べるのもまた格別に美味しかったです。

全てに感動しました！またハワイ島に行った際には利用したいです。

It became a wonderful memory!! 素晴らしい思い出になりました!!

Reviewed by: Isao

I visited the Big Island for my honeymoon. I joined this tour to enjoy thrilling experiences and the beautiful sea of Hawaii, and it turned out to be a wonderful memory as I had imagined.

On the day of the tour, it took about 40 minutes by taxi from the hotel where I was staying to the meeting point. After completing the check-in in English, I was handed a Japanese guidebook (about five A4 pages). I'm not very good at English, but I can understand simple Japanese, so please don't worry.

There were a total of 12 participants, including us. There were elderly people and small children as well. Additionally, there was one other Japanese person who could speak both English and Japanese, so they helped us out a lot.

Once we boarded the rubber boat and departed from the port, we picked up quite a bit of speed, feeling like we were on a roller coaster, which was thrilling. The wind felt nice, and the scenery was amazing. We even encountered a whale along the way.

After about 1 hour and 30 minutes, we arrived at Kealakekua Bay for snorkeling. The water was very clear, and we could see coral reefs and beautiful fish.

We snorkeled for about an hour at Kealakekua Bay, and then it was lunchtime on the boat. We had sandwiches, cookies, potato chips, and drinks. After that, we snorkeled for about another hour, thoroughly enjoying the sea of Kealakekua Bay. However, the water temperature was a bit low (late April), so if you stayed in for too long, your body would get quite cold, and the elderly participants went back to the boat early to take a break.

When we returned to the port, we were lucky to see a sea turtle and took some photos.

I was very nervous as I couldn't speak much English, but it seemed that we were fortunate with the people we met. An elderly gentleman from America was very kind to us, and even though we couldn't communicate well, it was a wonderful encounter, and I'm really glad I participated.

私は新婚旅行で、ハワイ島を訪れました。
スリリングな体験とハワイ島の綺麗な海を満喫したくて、このツアーに参加しましたが、想像通り素晴らしい思い出になりました。

ツアー当日、宿泊していたホテルからタクシーで約40分ほどかけて、集合場所に行きました。
英語での受付を済ませると、日本語ガイドの説明書（A4用紙5枚程）を手渡されます。
私はあまり英語が得意ではないですが、簡単な日本語なら通じますので、安心してください。

参加者は、私たちを含めて全部で12名でした。お年寄りや小さい子供も参加していました。また、私たち以外に日本人が1名いて英語と日本語が喋れたので色々とお世話になりました

いざ、ゴムボートに乗り港を出発すると、結構スピードが出てジェットコースターに乗っているような感覚で、スリル満点です。風が気持ちよく、景色も最高でした。なんと、途中でクジラにも出会いました。

約1時間30分程かけて、ケアラケクア湾に到着すると、シュノーケルです。海の中はとても澄んでいて、サンゴ礁や綺麗な魚を見ることができました。

1時間くらいケアケクア湾でシュノーケルしその後ボートの上でランチタイム。サンドイッチとクッキー、ポテトチップ、飲み物などがでました。その後また１時間くらいシュノーケルをしてケアラケクア湾の海をしっかり満喫できました。ただ水温が少し低めだったので(４月の下旬)長く浸かってると体がだいぶ冷え、年配の方は早めにボートに上がって休憩してました。

また港に帰るとウミガメがいて写真も撮れてラッキーでした。

英語がほとんど喋れずとても緊張してましたが、私たちの時は人に恵まれていたみたいでアメリカからきていたおじいさんに親切にしていただいたり言葉は通じないけど、とても素敵な出会いがあり参加して本当に良かったです。

I was torn between a tour to swim with dolphins and this one, but I chose this tour because I wanted to go to Kealakekua Bay. Luckily, on the way there in the rubber boat, we encountered pods of dolphins multiple times! Each time, they stopped the boat to give us plenty of time to watch the dolphins. The dolphins swam right under the boat and next to us, so I felt like I was part of a dolphin tour too! I felt like I enjoyed this more than the dolphin tour I participated in on Oahu.

The day I participated wasn't very sunny, but Kealakekua Bay had incredible clarity and was the best! They also gave us plenty of time to enjoy ourselves, so I was very satisfied!

The travel time in the rubber boat is quite long. We went really fast without wearing life jackets, and there were times when we made sharp turns, so it was very bumpy. I was sitting at the front, so I felt like I was floating and it was a bit scary. But I thought it was much more fun than traveling by a regular boat.

イルカと泳ぐツアーと迷いましたが、ケアラケクア湾へ行きたかったのでこちらのツアーに参加しました。
ラッキーなことにゴムボートで湾まで移動する途中、何度もイルカの群れに遭遇！その度にボートを止めてたっぷりとイルカを見る時間を作ってくれました。
何度もボートの下やすぐ横をイルカが通ってくれたので、イルカのツアーにも参加した気分♪
オアフで参加したイルカのツアーより堪能できた気分でした♪

参加した日はあまり天気の良くない日でしたが、ケアラケクア湾は透明度抜群で最高！こちらでもあきるほどたっぷり時間を作ってくれたので大満足でした！

ゴムボートでの移動時間は結構長いです。ライフジャケットも付けずにすごいスピードで走るし、ときどき旋回もするので、すごく揺れます。私は一番前に座っていたので、体が浮いて怖かったです。でも船で移動よりずーっと楽しいと思いましたよ。

A friend of mine, who was experiencing Hawaii Island for the first time with children, said this tour was incredibly impressive. They thoroughly enjoyed the ocean around Hawaii Island. They were very satisfied to see dolphins, whales, and even turtles after disembarking. The captain's service was also enthusiastic, making the boat rush towards the shore and eliciting screams.

My wife, who cannot move her left hand due to the aftereffects of a stroke, was also very satisfied as she could enjoy snorkeling thanks to the life vest. However, she mentioned that holding on in the side boat made her hands extremely tired. It would be ideal to have a bit more space to sit facing forward.

I will also share the relevant part of my blog. This tour is an absolute recommendation for fully enjoying Hawaii Island. Thank you very much.

We visited with our family of three (10-year-old boy) on March 27, 2013. The water was very clear, and we were able to see many tropical fish. However, since the water temperature wasn't very high, it was too cold for long snorkeling sessions. But we had a great time with activities like the slide and jumping from the Fair Wind boat, which were fun for the kids. Additionally, since breakfast and lunch were included, we were able to make good use of our time before and after the tour, which was very nice.

2013/3/27に家族３人（10歳/男）で行ってきました。
水の透明度も高く、熱帯魚を沢山見ることができました。
ただし、水温があまり高くないため、寒くて長時間のシュノーケンリングは無理でしたが、滑り台や、フェアウィンド号からのジャンプなど、子供にとっては楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
また、朝食、昼食付きだったので、ツアー前後の時間を有効に使えて、とても良かったです。
