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

If you go to the Big Island of Hawaii, you definitely want to experience this. ハワイ島行くなら是非体験して欲しい

Reviewed by: ぐうたん

Every time I come to the Big Island, I participate in the Fair Wind snorkeling tour. I usually go in the morning, but this time I joined in the afternoon for the first time. Since lunch is not included, I had a meal before heading out.

While the volcano and star tours are great, I really want everyone to experience the beauty of the ocean around the Big Island. At Captain Cook's Point, there are more fish than anywhere else, even more than at Hanauma Bay on Oahu. This time, we were the only Japanese participants. My elderly father doesn't dive, but he always enjoys the cruise and feels satisfied.

When we arrived at the port, it was just in time for the sunset, and we enjoyed watching it for a bit after getting off the boat.

It's only about a 15-minute drive from Kona, where we're staying, to the port, so it's very convenient.

The weather was nice, and it felt great!

ハワイ島に来ると毎回このフェアウインドのシュノーケルに参加します。

There were a lot of fish! お魚たくさんいたよ~

Reviewed by: ふぃーちゃん

We arrived early with the rental car, applied sunscreen, and were fully prepared! However, despite that, my calves and the back of my thighs got really sunburned from snorkeling. Among the dozen participants, we were the only Japanese couple. We traveled by speedboat and arrived at the snorkeling spot, where the water was clear and there were plenty of fish. We had sandwiches for lunch and moved a little, but during the second snorkeling session, there wasn't much change since we only moved a few hundred meters, which was disappointing. On the way back, we stopped at several places eroded by waves, and the captain explained everything in English, but we were completely lost. We also encountered a pod of dolphins, and the dolphin jumps were heart-melting.

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

Very satisfied! 大満足!

Reviewed by: うーたん

As a family who loves snorkeling, we brought our own gear from Japan to join the tour!

The other passengers were of various ages and nationalities, including quite an elderly gentleman. For beginners, they provided thorough instructions on how to wear the mask, which was reassuring. However, all the explanations were in the captain's fast-paced English. (laughs)

We snorkeled at two spots, depending on the sea conditions. The first location was near the Pu'uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park. There were many large coral reefs and a variety of colorful tropical fish! It was such a beautiful spot that we lost track of time.

The second spot was about a 20-minute boat ride away, where lava from Kilauea flowed into the sea decades ago. There were large, round rocks that had cooled and solidified, making it a fun place to explore the terrain. There, we spotted sea turtles! We watched them from a distance so as not to disturb them. Seeing the turtles swim was like watching them soar through the sky, which was incredibly soothing.

When the captain called out that it was lunchtime, we got back on the boat to find smoke rising from it. We enjoyed a buffet-style hamburger lunch with beef patties and chicken grilled by the crew, along with fresh vegetables! It was surprisingly delicious, far exceeding our expectations! The homemade taro chips on the side were also very tasty.

As everyone reluctantly left the sea, the boat headed back to the dock. Along the way, we spotted a pod of dolphins and took some time for dolphin watching, and we made a quick stop at the Captain Cook monument before returning.

The tour lasted about five hours, but time flew by so quickly that we even discussed going again during our stay! (laughs) It was an incredibly satisfying tour! I will definitely participate again when I visit the Big Island!

シュノーケル好きの私たち親子は日本からマイ器材を持って参加!

ほかの乗船客は年齢も国籍も様々。
かなり年配のおじいちゃんもいました。
シュノーケル初心者の方にはマスクの付け方などのレクチャーもしっかりしてくださり安心。
ただし説明はすべて船長の早口な英語です。(笑)

シュノーケルポイントは海況を見て2箇所。
1箇所目はホナウナウ国立歴史公園の近く。
大きなサンゴの棚がたくさんあり、色とりどりの熱帯魚もたくさん!
時間を忘れてしまうほど美しいポイントでした。

2箇所目はさらに20分ほどボートを走らせ、先ほどとは一転
何十年か前にキラウエアからの溶岩が海に流れ込んだと言う場所。
冷えて固まった大きな丸い岩がゴロゴロと落ちており、地形を楽しむようなポイントです。
そこではウミガメたちを発見!彼らの邪魔にならないよう、遠くから見つめていました。
ウミガメが泳ぐ姿はまるで空を羽ばたいているようで、とても癒されました。

船長からランチタイムだぞー!と声をかけられ海から上がると、船からもくもくと煙が。
船員さんが焼いてくれたビーフパティやチキンと一緒にフレッシュな野菜を挟む
バイキング形式のハンバーガーランチ!
これが予想をはるかに超える美味しさでビックリ!
サイドの自家製タロイモチップスもとても美味しかったです。

皆が海を名残惜しんでいるところでボートは桟橋に向けて出発。
途中イルカの群れを見つけてしばしイルカウォッチングしたり、
キャプテンクックのモニュメントに寄り道したりしながら戻りました。

5時間ほどのツアーでしたが本当にあっっと言う間に時間が過ぎ、
滞在中もう一回行っちゃう?と話題が出たほど(笑)大満足のツアーでした!
またハワイ島に行った際は絶対に参加します!

Captain Steve was hilarious and Michael was a great assistant captain. Both Steve and Michael were entertaining and very knowledgeable about the southern part of the island of Hawaii. We saw dolphins, tons of colorful fish snorkeling, traveled to look inside sea cave and had more food than we needed! It was a truly amazing day on the ocean with Sea Quest!

4.5-Hour Deluxe Kona Snorkel Tour & Dolphin Watch with Lunch - Body Glove Cruise

Body Glove Tour

Reviewed by: Stephany

It was a great snorkeling experience. They did a great job all around. Seeing Dolphins is a guarantee. They hang out just off the coast on the way to and from the snorkeling location. The food they served was great and included (breakfast/lunch). They provide some drinks for free with the food. Any smoothies or alcoholic drinks you must pay for and there is a bar on the boat for that. They provide rash gaurds, towels, fins, snorkels, various floatation devices (noodles, boards, etc...). I did start feeling a little sea sick and missed out the last 15 min of water time before we headed back. So I would recommend taking some Dramamine if you get motion sickness.

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>

It was the best experience! 最高の体験でした!

Reviewed by: Hawaiiあいす

We thoroughly enjoyed thrilling rafting and beautiful snorkeling in the ocean under wonderful weather! The service from the captain and crew was absolutely five-star! In the morning, we were able to swim leisurely before the snorkeling spot at Kealakekua Bay became crowded with boats, and we got to see and even touch many dolphins up close. The sea, sparkling like a jewel, was also very satisfying. My kids (especially my son) were thrilled, saying the captain was an excellent navigator and super cool, and that this was the most fun they’ve ever had on a trip. They can’t wait to join again next time!

★ Sunscreen is a must. Sunglasses and a lightweight beach towel are also essential. It gets quite chilly while swimming. You might not need a hat as it could blow away. Since large bags cannot be taken on the boat, it’s best to bring only what you need in a compact backpack. Sandals are sufficient for footwear. My younger child (9) can swim but borrowed a life jacket from the reception office (which is free, of course). My older child (13) got tired and borrowed a noodle (a floating tube like macaroni) halfway through. Having a noodle makes it easier. There isn’t a specific place to change after returning, so you’ll either stay in your swimsuit or change in the rental car. There was a restaurant and restroom where we disembarked! ★

素晴らしいお天気の中、スリリングなラフティングと美しい海のシュノーケルを存分に楽しみました!なんと言っても、サービス満点なキャプテン&クルーは5つ星間違いなし!朝、ケアラケクア湾のシュノーケルスポットが船で溢れ返ってしまう前にゆっくりと泳げましたし、沢山のイルカを触れるほど間近で見ることもできました。宝石のような輝きの海にも大満足でした。子供たち(特に息子)はキャプテンは操縦がうまくてめちゃくちゃかっこいいし今回の旅で一番楽しかったと大喜びでした。次回も参加したいと大はしゃぎです! 

★日焼け止めは必須です。サングラス、それからバスタオルは薄手の物でも必ず持った方が良いです。泳いでいるとだいぶ冷えます。帽子は飛ばされちゃいますのでいらないかと。ボートに大きな荷物は載せられないので、コンパクトなリュックに必要なものだけ持っていくと良いでしょう。履物はサンダルで十分です。 
下の子(9)は泳げますが受付事務所でライフジャケットを借りました(もちろん無料です)上の子(13)疲れて途中でヌードル(マカロニみたいな浮くチューブ)を借りました。ヌードルがあると楽です。帰りに着替える場所は特に無いので、水着のままかレンタカーの中で着替えるかになります。下船した所にレストランとトイレがありましたよ★

This is not just about the tour content; it's a bigger issue. I used your service in August, and although I made a proper reservation for four people from Japan, only two reservations were actually confirmed, and the remaining two ended up being walk-ins on the day of the tour. Due to the pricing situation, I emailed Veltra after returning home, but I have been ignored regarding this matter. I will not be using this company in the future.

ツアー内容どうこうの話ではなく、それ以前の問題です。8月にお世話になったのですが、日本からきちんと4名の予約をしていったのに、実際予約が2名分しかとれていなく残りの2名は当日予約になってしまいました。料金の兼ね合いもありveltraさんに帰国後メールを入れましたがそれに関しては無視されています。今後この会社を使うことはありません。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour.

However, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused during your trip.

As mentioned in a separate email, your reservation was made for four people in our system, but it seems that the operating company mistakenly secured seats for only two people. Our staff noticed on the day of the tour that your reservation was for four people and that you had paid for it, and they canceled the additional two seats on the spot.

It is truly regrettable that what should have been a wonderful memory from the snorkeling cruise turned into a bitter experience due to our reservation management error. We also apologize for the delayed response to your review. We have taken strict measures to ensure that the operating company does not cause any inconvenience to customers due to such reservation errors in the future.

We take your feedback seriously and, together with the operating company, will strive to improve our services further. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback amidst your busy schedule.

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
しかしながら、せっかくのご旅行中にご不便おかけし、大変申し訳ございませんでした。

別途メールにてご連絡させていただきましたが、お客様のご予約ですは弊社のシステム上では4名様にてご予約いただいておりましたが、催行会社側にて誤って2名様で席を確保していたようでございます。当日中にスタッフがお客様のご予約が4名様でお支払されていることに気が付き、追加でご予約いただいた2名様分につきましてはその場でキャンセルしたとのことでした。

せっかく楽しみにしていただいたシュノーケリングクルーズであったにも関わらず、予約管理不備により良い旅の思い出になるべきところが苦い思い出へ変わってしまったこと大変心苦しく感じております。また体験談にご投稿いただいたにも関わらずご返信が遅くなりましたことお詫び申し上げます。催行会社にはこのような予約不備にてお客様にご迷惑をおかけすることがございませんよう厳重注意させていただきました。

お客様からのお言葉を真摯に受け止め、催行会社共々、今後さらなるサービス向上に努めてまいります。

We were lucky enough to see dolphins by chance, but I felt that encountering them depends on luck since we didn't forcefully search for or chase them.

There are many fish in the shallow area. I was surprised when I was surrounded by yellow tangs.
It's also recommended for energetic kids to slide down from the boat's slide or jump off the diving board.
If you're not confident or worried about getting tired, you can wear a floatation belt around your torso for peace of mind.
Breakfast and lunch are enjoyable on the boat. The meat for the lunch burgers is freshly grilled on the boat and delicious.
I also got to see dolphins.

The water at the spot was clear, and there were plenty of fish.

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 get seasick, but my wife is very satisfied. 私は船酔い、妻は大満足

Reviewed by: Miya

My wife and I participated together. Due to traveling from Japan the day before, I was sleep-deprived, possibly because of jet lag, and ended up feeling seasick despite the boat not rocking much. I ate the breakfast bread served on board and saw dolphins from the boat, but other than that, I mostly slept.

However, my wife, who loves marine sports, was able to see several dolphins swimming very close by. When we anchored near a cape about an hour away from the pier in Kona, she was very satisfied as she used a snorkel to dive. It seems that for those who already enjoy marine sports, this tour offers a high level of satisfaction.

The staff, who at first glance appeared intimidating, were actually quite kind. While I was waiting for the restroom to become available on the boat, one of the staff quickly noticed and guided me to another restroom. Most participants were American families (Caucasian), but according to my wife, there was an elderly woman of Indian or Southeast Asian descent who seemed to struggle with swimming, yet the staff provided significant support for her diving experience. They are well-prepared to accommodate beginners. However, everything is in English, and they speak quite fast.

Since we were in open waters, there were concerns about sharks, but we were instructed to never stray far from the boat, ensuring safety.

So, originally, I would give this a five-star rating, but due to my seasickness, I have to deduct one star. Since it’s a morning tour, make sure to go to bed early the night before and get plenty of sleep.

妻と二人で参加しました。前日日本からの移動のため、時差ボケのためか寝不足のままツアー参加となり、大した揺れでもないのに私は船酔い。船内で出された朝食のパンを食べ、船内からイルカの姿を見た以外は、ほとんど寝ているという有様。
しかし、もともとマリンスポーツ大好きな妻は、すぐ近くで泳ぐイルカを何頭も見ることができ、コナのピアから1時間ほど船で移動した岬の近くに停泊したときには、シュノーケルを使って潜るなど、大満足。もともとマリンスポーツが好きな人には、かなり満足度が高いツアーのようです。
スタッフも一見コワモテに見えるお兄さんばかりでしたが、実際のところはかなり親切。私が船内のトイレが空くのを待っていたら、目ざとく見つけて別のトイレを案内してくれました。参加者のほとんどはアメリカ人(白人)の家族連れでしたが、妻によるとインドか東南アジア系の老婦人がいて、泳ぎが全くダメそうだったけどスタッフがかなりサポートして潜る体験もできたそう。初心者向けの対応もしっかりしています。ただし、全部英語です。しかもしゃべりが速い。
外洋なのでサメが怖いけど、船の周りからは絶対離れないようにとの指導もあり、安全性も確保されていたようです。
というわけで、本来星5つのことろ、私の船酔いのせいでマイナス1。朝出発のツアーなので、前日は早めに寝てしっかり睡眠をとりましょう。

It was a bit disappointing that it was cloudy. 曇っていたのがちょっと残念

Reviewed by: NNN

It was disappointing that the sea wasn't very beautiful due to the cloudy weather, but I enjoyed a relaxing cruise and snorkeling. You need to get to the meeting point on your own (I took a round-trip bus. I got a bit flustered when I mistakenly went to the wrong bus stop on the way back). The staff primarily speak English, but if you print out your reservation details and show them at the counter, it's fine even if you can't speak English (I can't speak it at all). Also, I forgot to make the pre-call by the day before, but it was no problem when I arrived at the meeting point an hour early on the day of the tour. There seemed to be over 50 people on the tour, and we were the only Japanese, but the local staff were very accommodating and seemed familiar with Japanese people, so there were no issues.

当日は曇っていた為、海がそこまできれいではなかったのが残念でしたが、のんびりクルージングとシュノーケルが楽しめました。
集合場所までは自力で行く必要があります(往復バスで行きました。帰りのバス乗り場を間違えてちょっと焦りました)。スタッフは基本英語ですが、事前に予約内容を印刷していきカウンターで見せれば英語が話せなくても問題ありません(自分は全く話せません)。また、前日までの事前電話を忘れてしまっていたのですが、当日1時間早く集合場所へ行ったら問題ありませんでした。ツアーは50人以上いたようで、日本人は自分たちだけでしたが、現地スタッフは非常に対応が良く、日本人にも慣れているようで問題ありませんでした。

Less about snorkelling, more about water slide on boat

Reviewed by: Sucheta

The main focus of this tour was on the water slide and jumps on the boat. A good activity for families with young children. The snorkelling was average, as was the snorkelling gear provided. Most people snorkelled only for about 20 minutes before getting back to the boat. We saw a lot of dolphins on the way back though, which was excellent. Overall, a good activity got families. As a young couple, we felt it was a bit too noisy for us.

Wonderful Experience Ever!

Reviewed by: Chang Kim

It was the most wonderful experience with my family. We went the morning program and the weather was great (not too sunny but not too cloudy). The staff crews and captain are wonderful to serve every single passenger. Ola, one of staff remembers our names and keep checking us often. Dolphins were waiting for our Body Grove boat and played with our boat both ways from/to the spot. The snorkeling was beautiful ever and the meals were also wonderful. My wife had a motion sickness and hard time to survive but all other four family members had life-long unforgettable memory. If you have motion sickness, better to prepare some medicine to prevent it. My kids enjoyed the high jumps. There are some waves. Thanks to Captain and all crews.

We arrived at the marina early, carefully applied sunscreen, and felt the excitement build. The captain was cheerful, and out of the 15 people on board, there were four of us: my wife, our friends, and me. We held on tightly to the ropes as we set off, experiencing the thrilling rafting that felt like we might be thrown into the rough waves at any moment. Although there were many young couples around, we, even those of us in our sixties, had a fantastic time. The snorkeling spot we reached was absolutely wonderful, and along the way, dolphins jumped around and followed the boat, which was really fun. The pineapple and oranges we had on the boat were incredibly sweet and unforgettable. On the way back, the captain explained about the lava caves and fault lines, and we got to explore narrow areas that regular boats can't access, enjoying the unique scenery.

マリーナ迄早めにつき、日焼け止めローションを念入りに塗り、緊張感高まる。キャプテンは陽気な方で、15人中日本人は私達夫婦と友達夫婦の4人。しっかりとロープにつかまり出発、荒波に身を投げ出されそうになりながらスリル満点のラフティング。周りは若いカップルが多かったのですが我々アラカンどころか古希組も十分に楽しめました。着いたスノーケルの場所もとても素晴らしかったし、とちゅうでイルカがあちこちでジャンプしてボートについてきておもしろかった。ボートでいただいたパイナップルとオレンジの甘かった事、忘れられない美味しさです。帰り道溶岩の洞窟や、断層などの説明をしてくれたり、普通の船では行かれない狭い所にも入って行けて珍しい気色も堪能できました。

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>

Thrilling high-speed boat! スリル満点の高速ボート♪

Reviewed by: MENTAIKO

We participated as a couple. Most of the tour participants were American, so there was a bit of an away feeling, but one of the participants kindly spoke to us in slow, clear English since we didn't understand much.

We encountered many dolphins, and snorkeling was fun. But above all, the high-speed boat was thrilling! However, after snorkeling, the wind was quite strong and cold, so a jacket is necessary!

夫婦で参加。ツアー参加者はアメリカ人ばかりでアウェイ感はありましたが、参加者の一人が英語がわからない私たちに、ゆっくりと分かりやすい英語で話しかけてくれて助かりました。
イルカにも沢山出会えましたし、シュノーケルも楽しかったです。
でも、何といっても高速ボートがスリル満点‼
ただ、シュノーケルの後は風がかなり当たって寒いので、上着は必要です‼

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

To the best memories! 最高の思い出に!

Reviewed by: くるみ

I participated at the end of April with a total of six people: my family of four, plus my father and mother.

The one-hour boat ride to our destination was pleasant and enjoyable. Drinks and snacks were provided, and we could help ourselves. The staff were very cheerful and kind, efficiently preparing snorkels and fins in sizes that suited everyone.

Upon arriving at the bay with the Captain Cook monument, it was finally time for snorkeling. I was worried about whether my six-year-old daughter and my 66-year-old father would be able to participate, but there were plenty of floaties and body wraps available, so we could enjoy it with peace of mind. The water was a bit cold, but it was great to see so many colorful fish.

On the return trip, we encountered a pod of dolphins. Dolphins gathered from all around, swimming alongside the boat and jumping around us. We were able to see their cute appearances and behaviors for about 20 minutes, which was very moving.

I created many wonderful memories. Next time I visit the Big Island, I definitely want to join the Fair Wind snorkeling tour again. Thank you very much.

私は4月末に、家族四人&私の父と母、の合計6人で参加しました。

目的地に着くまでの一時間程、船の旅も気持ちよく楽しいものでした。ドリンクやスナックが用意されていて、自由に取りに行く形でした。
スタッフの方々もとても明るく親切で、それぞれにあったサイズのシュノーケル、フィンも手際よく用意してくれました。

キャプテンクックの記念碑がある湾に到着し、いよいよシュノーケルです。
娘は6歳、私の父は66歳だったので出来るか心配していましたが、浮き輪や体に巻き付ける浮具がたくさん用意されていたので、安心して楽しめました。海は少し冷たかったですが、カラフルな魚がたくさん見れて良かったです。

帰りの船ではイルカの群れに遭遇しました。あちこちからイルカがたくさん集まってきて、船と並んで泳いだり、周りでジャンプしたり、、
20分ほどイルカの可愛い姿や仕草が見れて、
とっても感動しました。
本当に素敵な思い出がたくさんできました。

次回、ハワイ島に行くときは必ずまたフェアウィンド号のシュノーケルツアーに参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

Great day, great crew. Extremely safety conscious company. We had a rough ride a fair way so it was good to feel in safe hands. Saw many dolphins and a few turtles too.
