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 want to go again! また行きたい!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was desperately holding onto the boat's rope to avoid being thrown off during the ocean rafting, but it became fun once I got used to it.

This time, I didn't encounter any dolphins or whales as others have mentioned, but snorkeling in Kealakekua was amazing. The water was very clear and beautiful.

It was my first time snorkeling, so I was a bit confused at first, but by the end, I wanted to practice diving deeper.

After coming out of the water, it was really cold. A long-sleeved shirt was necessary.

Also, I thought I would get a tan and went without sunscreen, but the Hawaiian sun is intense, and I got quite burned and turned bright red. Even though I applied aloe after-sun gel frequently, three days later my arms were swollen and peeling all over, which was tough. Even if you want to tan, make sure to apply some light sunscreen.

I couldn't catch everything in fast English, but overall, it was a lot of fun.

オーシャンラフティングでは、ボートから振り落とされないように必死で、ボートの紐を握っていましたが、慣れてくれば楽しかったです。

今回は皆さんが書かれているようなイルカやクジラには出会えませんでしたが、それでもケアラケクアでのシュノーケルは最高でした。
水の透明度がとても高く、きれいでした。

シュノーケルは初めてだったので、初めは戸惑いましたが、
最後にはもっと深く潜水できるように練習したいと思うようになっていました。

海から上がった後は、とっても寒かったです。
長袖の上着は必要でした。

あと、日焼けしたいと思い、日焼け止めを塗らずにいったのですが、ハワイの日差しは強烈で、かなり焼けて真っ赤になり、アロエのアフターケアジェルをこまめに塗っても3日後には腕が赤く腫れて、体中の皮がむけて大変でした。。。
日焼けしたくても、必ず、軽めのサンスクリーンは塗りましょう。

全て早い英語でよく聞き取れなかったですが、全体的にはとても楽しかったです。

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>

Ocean rafting is... オーシャンラフティングとは…

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

First, it cost us about $90 one way by taxi from the Kohala area to this meeting point, so the lack of transportation was the biggest drawback.

We set off on a rubber boat! It took off at a high speed, so you have to hold on tight. It was really fast, and I thought, "No way..." but indeed! I think we took a long route, but the journey to Kealakekua itself felt like rafting. We were tossed around for quite a while, feeling the bumps from the waves and the speed, which was scary, so I held on to the boat tightly to the point that my hands hurt. On the way back, I got used to it and enjoyed it moderately.

Everything was in English, and all the other customers were Westerners.

When we arrived at Kealakekua, we were greeted with a beautiful view, just like in the pictures. We stopped the boat at a spot where we could see the Captain Cook monument, and after a snorkeling briefing, we entered the sea and started snorkeling. The types of fish varied by location, so it's good to move around a bit.

It was very beautiful and magical☆

However, after getting back on the boat from the sea, it was quite cold due to the wind, so it's better to bring a windbreaker or hoodie. Everyone was shivering so much that they had goosebumps.

On the way back, we did rafting again while being guided to various sightseeing spots. The captain's guidance was in English, but at check-in, we received a paper with guidance in Japanese. (However, there’s only time to read it while waiting for other customers to arrive after check-in, so I recommend checking in early.) We didn’t have much time to read, so we managed to understand somewhat through words and the kind gestures of the staff. The staff were very kind to us Japanese, explaining things clearly and being considerate. I want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude. Thank you very much!

Also, when getting off the boat, all the Westerners were giving tips. Since it was my first time paying tips on an optional tour, I wanted to note this for those who might not know. It seems better to prepare $10 bills for each person.

まず、コハラ地区からこの集合場所まで行くのに、免許のない我々はタクシーで片道約$90したので、送迎がない点が最大のデメリットでした。

ゴムボートに乗って出発!
猛スピードで走り出すので、しっかりとつかまっていなければなりません。
本当に凄いスピードで、まさか…と思ったのですが、やはり!
大回りはしていたと思いますが、ケアラケクアまでの移動自体がラフティングだったのです。
結構長い時間、波でのガタンという感じと猛スピードで揺られ、恐かったので、行きは手が痛くなるほどしっかりボートにつかまっていました。
帰りはだいぶ慣れ、適度に楽しめました。

全て英語で、他のお客さんは皆欧米人でした。

ケアラケクアに着くと、写真のようにそれはもう美しい光景が見られました。
キャプテンクック碑の見える位置でボートを止めて
シュノーケルのガイダンスの後、船から海へ入り、シュノーケリング開始。
場所によって、いる魚の種類が違ったので、色々動いてみると良いです。

とっても綺麗で幻想的でした☆

ただ、海から船に上がった後は、風もあり大変寒いので、ウインドブレーカーやパーカーなどを持って行ったほうが良いです。
皆とりはだが立つほど震えていましたので。

帰りはまたラフティングをしながら、各観光スポットを案内してくれました。
船長のガイドは英語ですが、チェックイン時に日本語でのガイドが書かれた紙をもらえます。(ただ、チェックインして他のお客さんが揃うのを待っている間しか読む時間がないので、早めのチェックインをお勧めします。)
我々は読む時間があまりなかったので、単語とスタッフのお兄さんの親切なジェスチャーで何となく理解できた、という感じでした。
スタッフの方は、私たち日本人にとても親切に、わかるように説明したり、色々と気遣ってくださいました。
この場を借りて、御礼が言いたいです。
ありがとうございました!

あと、船を降りるとき、欧米人が皆チップを渡していました。
オプショナルツアーでチップを払う、というのが初めてだったので、ご存じない方のために記しておきますね。
$10札を人数分用意しておいたほうが良さそうです。

Sea Quest Kealakekua Bay Snorkel Tour & Rafting Sea Cave Expedition

Sea Quest Snorkeling Tour

Reviewed by: Tina Thatcher

This was BY FAR the best tour we took - even better than the helicopter tour of the volcano!

We enjoyed the smaller boat - only 12 people on our tour (from teens to seniors) plus Captain Steve and the Drew crew. Other boats seemed to have hundreds on board, although they may have had better facilities. Kayaks can damage the coral, and they aren't as mobile as the boat - no whale searching or cave exploring.

First, Hawaii Activities actually called us to check that we were going to be there on time and asked if we had any questions. Then, we checked in, signed waivers, and were assigned to our boat. It was all very organized and ran very smoothly.

Steve and Drew were very knowledgeable and patient with first timers. They served a wonderful snack (fresh pineapple and other fruits, chips, cookies, etc), and the snorkeling (two spots) was wonderful. They even had a book to help us identify what we had seen.

The icing on the cake was that two whales decided to grace us w

It would have been fun if I hadn't gotten drunk. 酔わなかったら楽しかったはず

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Despite taking motion sickness medication, I felt a bit nauseous on the way there. Two of my friends also got seasick.

Since swimming seemed tiring, I borrowed a float and went snorkeling. The water was cold, and the waves made me feel even more nauseous, but the clarity of the sea was amazing, and I could see deep down.

I was expecting colorful tropical fish (like Nemo), but instead, there were various medium-sized fish.

Both breakfast and lunch looked delicious, but I couldn't eat anything at all because I was feeling sick. I couldn't even drink anything, which was really disappointing.

The restroom was spacious, and since I changed right after getting out of the sea, I didn't feel cold.

On the way back, it was great to see a whale. I thought I would like to participate again next time.

酔い止めを飲んだにもかかわらす、行きにちょっと酔いました。友達2人も酔ってました。
泳ぐのも疲れそうだったので、浮き輪を借りてシュノーケルしました。水も冷たく、波でさらに酔っていいことなしだったのですが、海の透明度はすごくて深くまで見えました。
カラフルな熱帯魚(ニモみたいな)を期待していたのですが、それとは違っていろいろな種類の中くらいの魚がいました。
 朝ごはん、ランチともおいしそうなものが並んでいましたが、酔っていたため全く食べれず。飲み物も飲めず。すごく残念でした。
 トイレがひろく、海からあがってすぐに着替えたため、寒くはなかったです。
帰り、クジラがみれたのがよかったです。

We participated as a couple at the end of November 2010.

On this day, it was just us and another couple.

First, we received a brief explanation at the office. The documents were written in Japanese, so I think you can understand the important points by reading them (there were no staff members who spoke Japanese).

And off we go!!
A large rubber boat. So exciting.
As soon as we left the harbor and entered the sea, dolphins started chasing the boat.
There were quite a large number of them, close enough to touch.

After a while, the boat went into full speed mode.
It was incredibly fast, and it felt truly refreshing.
Occasionally, the captain would stop the boat and explain various landmarks (in English).
At the final destination, we snorkeled for about an hour and a half.
Afterward, we were served drinks, fruits, and snacks, and we all talked about what fish we saw.

Then we sped back again.
On the return trip, the captain also guided us through various landmarks.

We were welcomed by dolphins again and returned to the harbor, concluding the trip.

The boat was just so much fun♪
I highly recommend trying it!!!

2010・11末に夫婦で参加しました。

この日は私たちともうひと組みのカップルだけでした。

最初は事務所で簡単な説明を受けます。書類が日本語で書かれていますので、読めば注意事項はわかると思います(日本語を話せるスタッフはいませんでした)

いざ出発!!
大きなゴムボート。わくわく。
ハーバーから海に出ると、早速イルカがボートを追いかけてきました。
結構な大群で、もう触れる位の距離です。

しばらくするとボートが本気モードで突っ走ります。
ものすごいスピードで、本当に気分爽快です。
ときどきボートを止めて、各名所をキャプテンが説明をしてくれます。(英語)
最終目的地で一時間半位のシュノーケリングをします。
終了後、ドリンク、フルーツ、スナックを出してもらい、
どんな魚をみたかなどを皆でお話しました。

そしてまた猛スピードで帰ります。
復路も各名所を案内してくれます。

そしてまたイルカに迎えられ、ハーバーに帰り終了です。

We participated as a couple on September 30, 2010.

On that day, there were many participants from a large ship, and we set off with a total of four boats! We were the only Japanese participants, and the boat we shared had couples from America, France, and Australia.

All the explanations were in English. Perhaps because there were so many participants, there were no Japanese pamphlets available. To be honest, I understood only about half of it, but it was such a fun tour that it didn't matter.

As soon as we departed, we sped up! Feeling the wind, we could enjoy the views of the mountains on the opposite shore, gaze at the sun and the horizon, and experience nature with our whole bodies.

Along the way, the female captain occasionally stopped the boat and humorously explained Hawaii's nature and history.

After some time, we arrived at the snorkeling point. Here, we could leisurely observe the coral and the yellow and black fish for about an hour and a half. Snacks and juice were provided during the break.

Oh, and we were thrilled to see dolphins both on the way there and back, as they jumped around the boat!

This is a highly recommended tour where you can enjoy a variety of experiences.

途中、時々ボートを停めては女性船長がユーモアたっぷりにハワイの自然や歴史を説明してくれます。

I made a reservation through HP.
At the last minute, I received an email saying that the meeting place would change due to the ship's schedule.
Indeed, during the week I was there, large ships were coming in every day, so it couldn't be helped.
There are two meeting places depending on the day of the week, so I hope everyone pays attention to where to go.
If it's at the pier, it's near the King Kamehameha Hotel, but the other location is about $25 by taxi from the King Kamehameha Hotel.

On this day, 11 people joined.
There were people from various countries.
The explanations are all in English, but we are given a Japanese instruction manual in advance. If you look at that, you'll understand the content.

Once we set off, we just let ourselves go and zoomed across the water in the boat. I think anyone can participate regardless of age or height.
Ah, it really felt like Hawaii with the beautiful water, mountains, and fresh air.
Before I knew it, we arrived at the snorkeling point.
Here, you can snorkel, eat, and take a break for about an hour and a half.
The fish in the sea are amazing!!!
You can swim with them.
You might also encounter dolphins.
Lunch and snacks were delicious.
You'll get sunburned, so please take enough sun protection.
You can join without thinking too much; it's super fun!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this rafting trip. It was absolutely amazing! The staff were excellent. They even had an RX mask for me to use. Soon after departure we came across some pygmy killer whales and dolphins. The guide said it was rare that they hung around so long because if you see them they usually take a breath and leave but this pod stuck with us for over 10 minutes. Even saw some spinner dolphins swimming about 50 feet below the raft. They were moving fast but we could still see them. The guides took there time and allowed us to wait and watch. We all just soaked up the time. The snorkeling, at two different places, was fantastic! This was our first time in Hawaii and we were not disappointed. The crew at Sea Quest Ocean Rafting just made our trip even more memorable. Thanks guys because this trip was truly a blessing!

I participated with my spouse and our 5-year-old son on September 28, 2010. Other participants included two couples from the US and a mother-daughter pair, as well as one couple from Switzerland. For our group, the check-in location was at Honokohau Marina, which we reached by rental car. Honokohau Marina is easy to find, but for first-timers or those who may have difficulty asking for directions in English, it might be helpful to check out the map at http://bit.ly/a3TsIp in addition to a regular map.

Our guides were Colin and Shane, and everything was in English without a Japanese guidebook. Colin handled the steering and provided various explanations, and he talked quite a bit. There may be times when explanations are difficult at a casual conversation level. We didn’t mind the details, so we enjoyed his talk quite a lot.

As for the tour, since it involves nature, there are no guarantees on what you will see, but I think it’s highly recommended for those who, like us, only know the seas of Japan. Although we didn’t see whales, turtles, mantas, or sharks like others did, the experience of riding on a high-speed boat was fun, and it was wonderful to experience the difference in colors between the coastal waters and the open sea.

During snorkeling, they provided life jackets for everyone who couldn’t swim, and they lent a boogie board with a viewing window to the children (we were the only ones with a child). My 5-year-old son was initially scared in the deep water, but after getting used to it with the life jacket and boogie board, he was thrilled to see the fish underwater. After a while, he wanted to return to the boat, so I asked if it was okay for me to snorkel while leaving him on the boat, and they kindly agreed, taking care of him. Although my son doesn’t understand English, he got along well with Shane.

As we parents started snorkeling, Colin pointed out that there were dolphins over there. When we swam over, we initially only saw the dorsal fins on the surface, but after searching for a while without giving up, we encountered dolphins swimming underwater and were able to swim with them. My waterproof Full HD Xacti camera was a great help here, and I was able to capture fantastic footage of the dolphins underwater, creating wonderful memories.

For lunch, we had sandwiches, snacks, and drinks while chatting on the boat. For those who get seasick, this...

2010/09/28に夫婦と5歳の息子で参加しました。その他の参加者はUSからご夫婦2組と母娘1組、スイスからご夫婦1組でした。うちの時はチェックイン場所がホノコハウ・マリーナでレンタカーで現地まで行きました。ホノコハウ・マリーナは簡単にたどり着けますが、初めての方や英語で場所を聞くのが難しい方は、通常の地図に加えて http://bit.ly/a3TsIp も見ておいた方が良いかもしれません。

今回のガイドはColinさん & Shaneさん、全て英語で日本語ガイドブックもありませんでした。Colinさんが操縦といろいろな説明をし、結構しゃべりまくりでした。日常会話レベルだと説明が難しい時もあるかもしれません。うちは細かい事は気にしないので彼のトークも結構楽しみました。

ツアーですが自然を相手にしているので何が見れるという保障は無いのですが、私たちのように日本の海しか知らない方にはかなりお勧めだと思います。実際に他の方が見れたようなクジラ、カメ、マンタ、サメは見れませんでしたが、高速ボート体験自体が面白いですし、海岸近辺と沖合いの海の色の違いを経験できるのでとてもすばらしいです。

シュノーケリングの際、泳げない人全員にはライフジャケットを貸してくれ、子供にはのぞき窓付きのビート板を貸してくれました(子供はうちだけでしたが)。5歳の息子も深い所で最初は怖がっていましたが、ライフジャケットとビート板で少し慣れると、海中の魚を見て凄く喜んでいました。しばらくして息子はボートに戻りたいというのでボートにあがらせて貰ったのですが、息子を残してシュノーケリングして良いか聞くとTotallyと快く引き受け、息子の面倒も見てくれました。息子は英語がわかりませんがShaneさんと仲良くなってました。

親だけシュノーケリングを始めたところ、イルカがあっちにいるよとColinさんが教えてくれたので、そちらに泳いでいくと最初は水面の背びれしかみれなかったのですが、諦めずにしばらく探していると水中で泳いでいるイルカと遭遇し、一緒に泳げました。ここでは防水FullHDのXactiが大活躍で、水中のイルカ映像もバッチリ撮影できとても良い思い出になりました。

The tour includes riding a high-speed rubber boat, where you'll first encounter dolphins. After that, you'll visit several caves, enjoy snorkeling at Captain Cook's landing site, and have a sandwich lunch on the boat before returning. It's about a half-day course.

At first, the high-speed rubber boat can be quite fast, so it may take some time to get used to it. The driver intentionally sways the boat from side to side, which might cause some people to feel seasick. Also, there were few Japanese participants (by the way, when we participated, we were the only two Japanese out of 16 people), so if you don't have a certain level of English, it might be a bit tough during the tour guide's explanations and conversations with other participants.

This was my second time at Kealakekua Bay, and as always, the water clarity was high, and I enjoyed snorkeling.

I recommend this tour more for couples than for families.

ツアーの内容は高速ゴムボートに乗って、まずイルカとご対面。その後、いくつかの洞窟を回り、キャプテンクックの上陸地点でシュノーケルを楽しみ、ボートの上でサンドイッチの昼食をとって帰るといった約半日コースです。
最初、高速ゴムボートはかなりスピードが出るので慣れるまで少し時間がかかるかもしれません。左右に大きく揺れる運転をわざとするので、船酔いになる人もいるかもしれません。あと、日本人の参加が少なく(ちなみに私たちが参加した時には日本人は16名中、私たちだけ2人だけでした)ツアコンの解説や参加者との会話で英語がある程度できないと、少しつらいかもしれません。

My wife suggested that we participate in a snorkeling trip at Captain Cook's landing site, so I joined in. I had previously gone horseback riding to the same spot and snorkeled there. The tour involves a round trip on a high-speed rubber boat from Honokohau Harbor to Captain Cook, and in addition to snorkeling, we get to see lava caves that can only be viewed from the sea. Occasionally, we also experience thrilling boat maneuvers. If there are dolphins, turtles, or mantas, they come close to us. When we participated, all the other participants were from the mainland United States (a total of 16 people). Since it was all in English, some level of English proficiency might be necessary to fully enjoy the experience in real-time. However, we received a guide written in Japanese beforehand, so if you read that, you should understand most of it. Seeing the Big Island from the ocean side, even if just a small part, allows you to experience its grandeur. Additionally, the thrill of racing across the waves on a high-speed boat really enhances the resort vibe. I recommend it for anyone looking to clear their mind.

ボートに乗ってキャプテンクックの上陸地点でシュノーケルができると妻が言うので参加させていただきました。以前、馬に乗って行き同じところでシュノーケルをしたことがありましたから。ホノコハウハーバーからキャプテンクックのところまで高速ゴムボートで往復するツアーで、シュノーケルの他に海側からしか見れない溶岩が作った洞窟などを見せてくれます。時折、スリリングなボートさばきも体験できます。そしてイルカや亀やマンタがいれば近寄ってくれます。私達が参加した時は他の参加者はみなさんアメリカ本土から来た方達でした。(全員で16名)当然英語オンリーですのでリアルタイムで楽しむにはある程度の英語力が必要かもしれません。ただ事前に日本語で書かれたガイドがもらえますのでそれを読んでいれば大体わかります。普段見られない海側からのハワイ島、ほんの一部ではありますがその雄大さを体感できていいと思います。また、高速ボートで波間を疾走する快感は、リゾート気分全開です。心をすっきりさせたい方おすすめです。

Recommended Tours お勧めツアー

Reviewed by: ハワイ大好き

The sea and the boat (the restrooms were also nice) were clean!

It's a place that's hard to visit individually, with beautiful waters and plenty of fish. The BBQ lunch on the boat was fantastic. The staff grilled the meat for the burgers, and then you could add your favorite toppings yourself. It was delicious. I think there were about four types of drinks available.

They also lend out floaties, so even those who are not confident swimmers can participate with peace of mind. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to see dolphins in the distance!

The boat was stable, so I didn't get seasick, and participants of all ages—young and old—can enjoy this tour.

海も船(気になるお手洗い)もキレイでした!

個人ではなかなか行けない場所で、海もキレイで魚も豊富。
船上でのBBQランチも最高。
バーガーはスタッフさんがお肉だけ焼いてくれ、後は自分で好きな具を入れて食べるスタイル。これがまた美味しい。
飲み物も4種類くらいあったと思います。

浮き輪なども貸してくれるため、泳ぎが不安な方も安心して参加できますよ~
ラッキーなことに遠めにイルカも見れました♪

船のゆれも少なく船酔いも大丈夫でしたし、参加者も老若男女・・・誰でも楽しく参加できるツアーだと思います。

Snorkeling in the beautiful sea. きれいな海でシュノーケリング

Reviewed by: くーこ

I participated on September 14. There were many participants, and two boats with 12 guests each set out, but we were the only Japanese people. They provide long explanations at various locations, but everything is in English. At first, we were given a Japanese instruction manual, but there isn't enough time to read it on the boat, and the captain's jokes, which he sometimes skips, are not translated, so if you don't understand English at all, it might be boring. Also, since we have to introduce ourselves at the beginning, it might be a bit tough for very shy people.

The sea is beautiful, and snorkeling is fantastic. However, my husband is not a strong swimmer, so when he asked for a life jacket, they only provided him with a kickboard for some reason. I stayed close to him, but it was quite deep, and it seemed a bit scary for him, so in the end, he got back on the boat partway through.

Still, we encountered dolphins and manta rays, and overall, it was an enjoyable tour. The speedboat is fun, and the waters of Kealakekua Bay are truly wonderful, so I highly recommend it for those who are experiencing this for the first time.

9月14日に参加しました。
参加者が多く12名のゲストが乗るボートが2隻でましたが、日本人は私たちだけでした。
いろいろな場所に泊まって長い説明をしてくれますが全て英語です。最初に日本語の説明書を渡されますが、ボートの上で紙を出して読む余裕はないし、船長が時々とばすジョークまでは翻訳してないので、英語が全然わからないと退屈かもしれません。
あと、最初に自己紹介させられるので、すごくシャイな人もちょっと辛いかもです。
海はきれいでシュノーケリングは最高です。ただ、主人は泳ぎが得意でないのでライフジャケットを貸して欲しいというとなぜかビート板しか貸してくれませんでした。しかたないので私が側についていましたが、結構深いのでやはり少し怖かったみたいで、結局主人は途中でボートにあがってしまいました。
それでもイルカやマンタにも遭遇したし、全般的には楽しめたツアーでした。
スピードボートは楽しいし、ケアラケクア湾の海の中はとてもすばらしいので、そういうのが初めての人などにはすごくおすすめです。

Encountered a whale!! クジラに遭遇!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated hoping to snorkel and see dolphins. I was nervous about being thrown off the boat as it sped along, but I got used to it after a while. As we progressed, we encountered dolphins, whales (multiple pods!!), and sharks one after another. Honestly, I didn't expect to see this much, so I was moved.

During snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay, I was able to see various fish, including black and yellow ones. I wasn't very confident in my swimming, but they lent me a life jacket, allowing me to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind.

I did get quite sunburned. I brought a surf hat, but it flew off due to the boat's speed, so it was pointless. I was worried about seasickness, but the breeze felt nice, and I didn't get sick at all.

It was a more enjoyable tour than I expected. Thank you!

シュノーケルができるし、イルカに会えればいいなぁということで参加。
 猛スピードで進むボートに、落とされないかドキドキしましたが、暫くすると慣れてきました。進んでいくうちに、イルカ、クジラ(群れがいくつも!!)、サメに次々遭遇。正直ここまで出会えるとは思っていなかったので、感動しました。
 ケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングでは、黒や黄色の様々な魚たちを見ることができました。また、泳ぎに自信がなかったのですが、ライフジャケットを貸してくれ、安心してシュノーケルを楽しむことができました。
 日焼けはかなりします。サーフハットを持っていったのですが、ボートのスピードで被ってもすぐはずれ、意味がなかったです。船酔いを心配していたのですが、風が気持ちよく、酔うことはなかったです。
 予想以上に楽しいツアーでした。ありがとうございました。

I swam with dolphins! イルカと泳げた!

Reviewed by: hiroto

Snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay was a lot of fun. I was super lucky to swim with dolphins for about a minute. I also got to see sea turtles, eels, and various tropical fish, which was really enjoyable. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand the explanations about the lava caves because the English was fast-paced and my vocabulary was limited. I think it would have been more enjoyable if there had been brochures or explanations in Japanese.

ケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングは、大変たのしかった。
イルカと1分ほど一緒に泳げてチョーラッキーだった。
他にもウミガメやウツボ様々な熱帯魚が見れて本当に楽しかった。溶岩洞窟の方は、英語が早口で語彙不足もあり説明が判らなかったのは残念、日本語のパンフレットや説明書があれば一緒に楽しめたと思います。

Full of impact. 迫力満点

Reviewed by: クッキー

The captain of the Zodiac and the handsome support staff (I didn't understand English at all, but my daughter translated for me) created a great atmosphere, and it was a lot of fun.

With the blue sky, tropical coastal scenery, and the boat bouncing over the lively waves, I could also see the shadow of Maui Island. The journey on the boat was enjoyable and refreshing.

Snorkeling among the coral reefs while watching colorful fish was great. The sandwiches for lunch were delicious, but it was unexpectedly cold, and I ended up eating the sandwich while shivering... There were also services for fruit, snacks, and juice. If it had been a bit warmer, it would have been perfect, and I think I could have enjoyed snorkeling even more.

The day before, I went on a tour to swim with dolphins, which was a valuable experience in its own right. However, the boat trip was long, and swimming in deeper water was a bit tense, making it physically demanding. This tour was much more enjoyable for beginners.

ゾデアック号の船長さん、イケメンのサポートしてくれたお兄さん、(英語はちっともわからなかったのですが、娘が訳してくれ)雰囲気を盛り上げて下さりとても楽しかったです。
青い空、海岸沿いの南国の風景、躍動感ある波の上を飛び跳ねる船、側にはマウイ島の影も見え、心地よい風の中進む船旅は、楽しかった上気分爽快になりました。
シュノーケルも珊瑚礁の中、色とりどりの魚を見ながら、良かったです。お昼のサンドイッチも美味しかったです。ただし、思いの外寒くて、サンドイッチも震えながら食べましたが・・・。フルーツや、スナック、ジュースのサービスもあり、もう少し、暖かければ、申し分なく、もっとシュノーケルも楽しめたと思います。
前日に、イルカと泳ぐツアーに行きましたが、それはそれで貴重な体験をしましたが、船旅が長かったのと、水深の深いところで泳ぐ緊張もあり、体力的にも中日でハードだったので、こちらのツアーの方が、初心者にも申し分なく楽しめました。

I enjoyed the view of the Big Island from the sea. ハワイ島を沖から楽しめました。

Reviewed by: マレフィセント

On 9/3, it was a perfect sunny day for rafting. The Kona side of the Big Island has little rain, making it refreshing to visit any time. The speed and thrill of this experience cannot be matched on land. It feels like you are flying as one with the boat.

Out of five couples, we were the only Japanese. Three couples were on their honeymoon, and they were lively and cheerful, making a fuss every time the boat jumped. There was also an elderly couple, likely in their 60s or 70s, who participated and enjoyed snorkeling.

It was an emotional experience to see wild dolphins swimming close to the boat, jumping and playing.

It felt like we were heading all the way to Maui, as we ventured out far enough to spot small whales gracefully swimming in the sea. Their relaxed movements were truly soothing.

We were given a Japanese explanation at the start, while the English guide was hard to understand and felt more like background music.

We took a taxi from the Fairmont Mauna Lani, which ended up being quite expensive for a one-way trip.

Make sure to take thorough sun protection measures. Hats can easily be blown away. Don't forget your rash guard. You can't use an umbrella on the boat.

9/3快晴のラフティング日和。
ハワイ島のコナ側は雨も少なく、いつ行っても爽快でしょう。このスピードとスリルはとても地上では味わえません。ボートと一体になって飛んで行くようです。

5組のカップル中、日本人は私たち二人だけ。
3組がハネムーンの様子でボートがジャンプするたびに大騒ぎで和気あいあい。
6~70代かと思われる老夫婦も参加され、シュノーケリングもこなしていらっしゃいました。

野生のイルカがボートの間近で群れになって泳いだり、クルクルとジャンプしたり感動の体験です。

マウイ島まで行くのかと思う程、沖まで行けば小型のクジラが海にたゆとうていました。なんともゆったりと泳ぐ姿に癒されます。

日本語の説明文を最初に渡され、聞き取れない英語のガイドははBGMです。

マウララニのフェアモントHからタクシーで行ったので片道のタクシー代の方が高く付いてしまいました。

Zodiac ゾディアック号

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I boarded the Zodiac for the first time with anxiety about seasickness, but the speed was so fast and the wind was so strong that I hardly felt nauseous. Instead, I felt a bit of discomfort in my backside. Along the way, I encountered dolphins and small whales, listened to explanations about various places on the Big Island, and even snorkeled near the Captain Cook statue, making it a fulfilling experience. I also enjoyed desserts and sandwiches, so I felt the cost performance was quite good.

What I particularly enjoyed was snorkeling. Thanks to the high salt content in the seawater, my body floated easily, allowing me to have a great time even though I'm not a strong swimmer. Additionally, the clarity of the seawater was very high, so I could clearly see the underwater scenery, including fish pecking at the coral and swimming gracefully.

One point to note is that, being in Hawaii, the sunlight is very strong, so it's necessary to apply a strong sunscreen all over. Despite that, I still got sunburned, and after returning home, my skin felt sore and peeled.

船酔いへの不安を抱えながらゾディアック号に初めて乗ったが、とてもスピードが速くて風もすごく当たるため、酔うことはほとんどなかった。むしろお尻が少し痛くなるような感じであった。途中イルカや小型のクジラに出会えたり、ハワイ島のいろんな場所の説明を聞いたり、キャプテンクック像の付近でシュノーケルも出来たりと充実した内容であり、デザートやサンドイッチも食べられたりとコストパフォーマンスはかなり良かったと感じた。
特に良かったのはシュノーケルで、海水の塩分が高いおかげで体がとても浮きやすく、あまり泳ぎが得意でない私でも十分一人で楽しむことが出来た。また、海水の透明度もとても高くて非常にクリアに水中の様子が確認出来るため、魚たちがサンゴをつついていたり優雅に泳いでいたりする様子がしっかり確認できた。
注意点としてはやはりハワイ島ゆえに日差しがとても強く、ゆえに強めの日焼け止めを全身くまなく塗ることが必要。私はそれでも日焼けして、帰宅後肌がヒリヒリしたり皮がむけたりした。

Cave exploration & Kealakekua Bay snorkeling 洞窟探検&ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング

Reviewed by: えのけん

We had a great time snorkeling, both my beginner wife and I. It was fun to see so many colorful and beautiful fish, as well as some slightly scary eels up close. I was especially surprised to see a school of dolphins swimming right below us. My sons were thrilled to swim alongside them for about a minute. However, it was disappointing that during the cave exploration, the explanations were given in fast-paced English, so I could hardly understand the content. I think it would have been more enjoyable if they had provided a paper with explanations in Japanese.

シュノーケリングは初心者の妻と私も大変楽しみました。
たくさんの色とりどりの美しい魚やちょっと怖そうなウツボ等身近に見れて楽しかったです。特にイルカの群れが真下を泳いでいく姿にびっくりでした。息子たちはすぐ横で1分間程一緒に泳げて感動していました。ただ、残念だったのは洞窟探検の時説明してくれるのですが、英語で早口なのでほとんど内容がわかりませんでした。日本語の説明書きのペーパーを配るとか工夫があればもっと楽しめたと思います。

We experienced an afternoon tour as a family of four. While the equipment can sometimes be smelly or old, this tour was just fine. Even my 5-year-old daughter enjoyed it on a kickboard with a window. It was cloudy at first, but when the sunlight came through, it was very beautiful and moving. Before we left, the staff and captain performed a dive show from the boat, but right after that, my daughter asked, "Where's my captain? Where did the bartender go? How do we get back?" Other than her worries, the safety was excellent.

家族4人で午後からのツアーを体験しました。装備は臭かったり古かったり問題ある場合もあるのですが、このツアーは大丈夫です。5歳の娘でも窓付きのキックボードで楽しめました。最初は曇天でしたが太陽光が入るととても綺麗で感動します。
帰る前にスタッフやキャプテンが船上からダイブパフォーマンスを見せてくれるのですが、直後に娘が「私のキャプテンはどこ?、バーテンダーはどこへ行ったの? どうやって帰るの?」と、彼女の不安以外は安全性抜群です。

The whale is close. クジラが近い

I participated using my summer vacation.

I didn't realize boats could go that fast. At first, it was a bit scary, but as I got used to it, the wind felt really nice.

A pod of whales came close, and I was able to take pictures of them at an incredibly close distance.

The guide was kind. I don't understand English at all, so I couldn't follow directly, but the speaking speed was a bit fast. However, they provide a Japanese translation sheet at the beginning, so there's no need to worry about that. I think it's good to read it well before starting.

Snorkeling was a bit cold, but it was great. The people who participated with me finished snorkeling early and spent the rest of the time chatting with the guides on the boat.

I recommend this tour. I enjoyed the extraordinary experience. Thank you very much. I would like to participate again!

夏休暇を使って参加しました。

ボートってあんなにスピードがでるものなんですね。
最初は怖いくらいでしたが、徐々に慣れてくると風がすごくきもちよかったです。

クジラの群れが近くまでやってきて、ものすごい至近距離でクジラを撮影することができました。

ガイドさんは優しかったですね。
僕は全然英語がわからないので、直接はわかりませんでしたが、
ただ、話すスピードは早めです。最初に渡される日本語訳の紙をもらえるのでそこは心配しなくて大丈夫です。開始前によく読んどいたらいいと思います。

シュノーケリングは、ちょっと寒かったけど、よかったです。
一緒に参加した人は、シュノーケリングは早くきりあげて、ボートにあがってガイドさんたちとずっとしゃべってました。

おすすめのツアーですね。
非日常を楽しめました。
どうもありがとうございました。
