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

I had an amazing time!! めちゃめちゃ楽しかった！！

Reviewed by: tamiyo

I participated in this for the first time in Hawaii.

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

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

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

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

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

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

初めてのハワイで参加しました。

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Reviewed by: teamringo

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

HPに載っている写真のイメージそのままでした。
海底にはサンゴ礁がびっしり。魚もたくさん。
他のシュノーケルポイントにも行きましたが、ここのポイントは、砂の巻き上げがないせいか、透明度が非常に高いと感じました。深さも深くなく安心して泳ぐことが出来ました。
自由に泳ぐことが出来る時間も非常に多かったです。
昼食前に１時間程度、昼食後に数十分。大満足です。
何よりも、昼食のBBQの美味しい事！！
内容は、ハンバーガーブッフェで、
その場で網焼きされたビーフパティや、新鮮なスライストマト、オニオン、ピクルス等を好きなだけバンズに挟んで食すスタイル。あまりに美味しくて２つ食べてしまいました。
スタッフの方も大変優しくて、注意事項の説明の際には、
日本語の書面を渡して下さり、戸惑うことなく理解出来ました。
スタッフのみなさんありがとうございました。
そして、まだ参加されていない方には、オススメです。

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＞

It's quite good. なかなかです。

Reviewed by: Katie

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

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

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

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

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

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

I participated in the afternoon plan. The sea was truly beautiful, and I lost track of time enjoying it. I really wanted to visit Kealakekua Bay, but it was a bit difficult to get to, so this was just right. We stayed at a hotel in Kailua-Kona, and it was relatively convenient to get to the meeting point at the Fair Wind office. We took a shuttle bus along Alii Drive and got off at Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa, from where we could walk to the office.

本当にきれいな海で、時間を忘れて楽しみました。
ケアラケクア湾はぜひ行ってみたかったのですが、少し行きにくい場所にあったのでちょうどよかったです。
私たちはカイルアコナのホテルに滞在していたのですが、集合場所のフェアウィンド号の事務所までは、アリィドライブ沿いのシャトルバスに乗ってシェラトンケアイホウベイビーチ＆スパで降り、そこから徒歩で行けましたので、比較的便利でした。

ハワイ島　シュノーケルクルーズ　SUP体験もできる充実ツアー！貸し切りプランあり＜午前／朝食・昼食付き＞ by フラカイ号

Enjoying snorkeling! シュノーケリングを満喫！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

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

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

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

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

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

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

I participated in a snorkeling cruise! シュノーケルクルーズ参加しました！

Reviewed by: すみこ

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

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

Reviewed by: PISGETTY

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

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

ハワイ旅行を決めたときラフティングがどうしてもしたくってこのツアーを探しだしました。日本語はほとんど通じませんでしたがキャプテンと補佐の女性の方の親切な対応と明るさで全く問題ありませんでしたよ。持ち物の所に水着が書いてなかったのでどーなのか気になりましたが、やっぱり必要でした（笑）服装は水着の上にＴシャツか長袖のウィンドブレーカーみたいなのでいいと思います。

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

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

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

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

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

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

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

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

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

Works great for kids

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

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

Dolphin cruising イルカとクルージング

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you for a fun day. 楽しい一日をありがとう

Reviewed by: そらまめ

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

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

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

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

Reviewed by: バナナ

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Reviewed by: みーにゃ

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

陸地から遠く離れ海のど真ん中でただただ碧い海に飛び込みました。足もとまでくっきり透き通って見えるのにその先は濃紺、いったいどれほどの深さなのでしょう。とろりと感じるぐらいの水、脱力すると簡単に体は浮きます。ものすごい解放感。


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

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

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

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

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

I was surprised by the speed of the boat. ボートのスピードにビックリ

Reviewed by: shimamon

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

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

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

Reviewed by: Hiramechan

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

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

It was amazing. 最高でした

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

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

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

The highest level of transparency. 最高レベルの透明度

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay had very high visibility and was quite satisfying. In Hawaii, Hanauma Bay on Oahu is famous for snorkeling, and I have experienced it several times, but the visibility at Kealakekua Bay surpassed my experiences at Hanauma.
Ocean rafting is quite bumpy and fast, so it's almost impossible to wear a hat on the boat. Don't forget facial sunscreen. Especially after snorkeling, the sunscreen washes off, which can lead to serious sunburn.

ケアラケクア湾のシュノーケリング。透明度がとても高く満足のいくものでした。ハワイではオアフ島のハナウマ湾がシュノーケリングで有名で、何度か体験していますが、今回のケアラケクア湾の透明度はハナウマでの経験を上回るものでした。
オーシャンラフティングは揺れ・スピード共にかなりのモノなので、船上では帽子をかぶっていることがほとんど出来ません。顔の日焼け止めを忘れずに。特にシュノーケリング後は日焼け止めが落ちているので大変な事になります。

I was moved by the ocean in Hawaii! I want to go again. ハワイの海に感動！又行きたいよ

Reviewed by: さえちゃん

The weather was clear on the day of the tour, and I was really excited. It was a tour fitting for our 20th wedding anniversary. About five minutes after departure, we encountered a large group of dolphins, which was amazing! They seemed to be jumping around the boat as if they were waiting for us.

After arriving at the snorkeling point, we had lunchtime on the boat. I was a bit confused since it was my first time snorkeling, but with the staff's advice, I was able to enter the water with confidence. Underwater, it was mystical with coral reefs and schools of tropical fish. On the way back, we also encountered a whale, making the tour absolutely fantastic. Since the boat had no roof, make sure to take precautions against sunburn!

当日は天気も快晴でとってもワクワクしていきました。
結婚２０年の記念にふさわしいツアーでした。
出発して５分位した所でイルカの大群に遭遇して感動！ツアーの船を待って居たかのように船の周りでジャンプを繰り返していました。
シュノーケリングポイントに到着後船上でランチタイム
初めてのシュノーケリングで戸惑いも有りましたがスタッフのアドバイスで安心して海に入ることが出来ました。
水中では珊瑚礁や熱帯魚の群れで神秘的でした。
帰りの道中クジラにも遭遇してツアーは最高でした。
船には屋根が無いので日焼け対策は万全に！

I was a bit anxious since it was only in English, but I confirmed the meeting place the day before and arrived 30 minutes early on the day. The staff spoke broken Japanese, so I had no worries at all. There were about 20 foreign guests. They provided us with a document in advance that included what the captain would be talking about. The activities were rich, including dolphin jumps, snorkeling, and exploring lava caves. The hamburger for lunch was delicious, and the captain's pineapple dish was the best. We could also freely enjoy drinks. However, the boat was quite fast and jumped a bit, so you need to be somewhat prepared for that. There was no time to feel seasick. I'm grateful to the staff.

英語のみと言う事で不安でしたが前日集合場所を確認し当日30分前に行きました、スタッフは片言の日本語を話してくれて何の心配も有りませんでした、客は全員外国人２０名程でした、キャップテンの話されている内容の文書を事前にくれます。イルカのジャンプ、シュノーケリング、溶岩洞窟鑑賞と内容は豊富でした、お昼のハンバーグ美味しかった、キャプテン料理のパインも最高、飲み物も自由に頂けます只ボートのスピードが早いのとジャンプするので若干の覚悟が必要です、船酔いはする暇が有りませんでしたスタッフに感謝です

It was fun!!! 楽しかった！！！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

This time, I participated with my parents. The reason for joining was my mother, who had always wanted to try this kind of attraction, so we joined somewhat on a whim, but the three of us had a fantastic time together. None of us speak English, but the atmosphere and the Japanese guide we received at the beginning were more than enough.

The incredible speed of the ocean rafting, the breathtaking snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay, and the encounters with dolphins were all first-time experiences, and everyone in the family felt we wanted to participate again!

The weather was a mix of sunny and cloudy on the day, but my father and I, who didn’t apply sunscreen on our backs, ended up very red and it was quite a hassle. By the way, I did apply sunscreen everywhere else, but my face and arms also got sunburned. So, for those who are going to participate, I think it's best to use sunscreen thoroughly. (The captain and the male local staff reapplied it several times.)

今回、両親と参加しました。
参加のきっかけは母で、母がずっとこういうアトラクションをしたいとのことだったので、なんとなく参加しましたが、家族3人思いっきり楽しめました。
3人とも英語は話せませんが、何となくのふいんきと、最初にもらえる日本語で書かれた案内で十分でした。
オーシャンラフティングのものすごいスピードと、ケアラケクア湾での美しすぎるシュノーケル、そしてイルカとの遭遇、初めての体験ばかりで、また参加したい！が家族全員の感想です。

当日は晴れたり曇ったりでしたが、背中に日焼け止めを塗らなかった私と父は、真っ赤になり大変でした。
ちなみに、背中以外はしっかり塗りましたが、顔も腕も焼けていました。
なので、これから参加するかたはしっかりと日焼け止めを使ったほうがいいと思います。（船長と男性の現地スタッフは何度か塗り直していました。）
