I participated in a dolphin tour for the first time. The weather was great, and on the day we joined, we were able to see so many dolphins in just one dive. A mother and baby dolphin swam right in front of us, and they were so cute.

There were so many dolphins that I didn't know where to look; it was really busy (laughs). I was so moved by the number of dolphins, even more than I expected.

After the tour, we were given information about a beach where we could see sea turtles, and we were able to meet them safely, making up for last year's experience. Thank you very much!

We participated as a group of three, and all three of us said we want to join again. It was a very satisfying tour, and I'm really glad we participated. Thank you for your great support, Mr. Nawata and Mr. Daisuke. Thank you!

初めてイルカツアーに参加しました。
天候にも恵まれ、私たちが参加した日は一回のダイブで本当にたくさんのイルカに会う事ができました。目の前をイルカの親子が通ったり、本当に可愛かったです。
あまりにたくさんのイルカがいたので、どっちを見たらいいのか、すごく忙しかったです（笑）。予想以上のイルカにすごく感動しました。
ツアーが終わってからも、ウミガメに会えるビーチを教えていただき、無事ウミガメにも会え、去年のリベンジができました。ありがとうございました！
今回３人で参加させていただいたのですが、３人ともまた参加したいねと言うくらい、
大満足のツアーで、本当に参加してよかったです。

I participated in a tour for my honeymoon. A wonderful guide who cares about dolphins and the ocean took us accurately to the dolphin point. I was truly moved to see wild dolphins up close! It was reassuring even for those who aren't great swimmers! I would love to join again! Also, the restaurant and the point where we could see sea turtles, which the guide recommended, were fantastic. Thank you very much!

The encounter with the dolphin I had been dreaming of. And... 夢に見ていたイルカちゃんとの出会い。そして・・・

Reviewed by: ｈ＆ｍ

Since I was a child, I dreamed of swimming with wild dolphins, and that dream came true on the Big Island of Hawaii!!!!

When Daisuke said, "I think you'll meet them soon today," I was so excited that I felt like jumping up right there. Since they are wild dolphins, I knew that whether I would actually see them was uncertain, but still, I was filled with the desire to meet them.

It had been a long time since I last snorkeled, and I was a bit anxious about whether I could breathe properly underwater. When I first entered the sea, I felt a bit flustered, but once I felt the reassurance of Daisuke being right beside me and providing solid support, all my fear and anxiety quickly disappeared.

And soon after we got into the water, we encountered dolphins!!! I was so excited to see the dolphins swimming slowly. I couldn't help but tense up. However, Daisuke told me that the most important thing was to completely relax, so from the second half of our time, I swam with the dolphins multiple times, feeling relaxed and at ease.

Of course, since they are wild dolphins, their swimming speed varies at different times. But I think that’s part of the fun of being with wild dolphins.

Anyway, the dolphins are just too cute. I could even hear the sound of dolphins "quee-quee" underwater. It was so moving!!!!

Above all, I was amazed by Daisuke's incredible ability to love and understand dolphins, catching their presence even when they were out of sight. When he said, "Get ready to enter the water," we were able to encounter dolphins just as he said. It felt like magic.

It seemed like Daisuke could really communicate with the dolphins, as they always came close to him and danced together. I realized that love truly gets conveyed. The dolphins looked like they were having fun swimming with Daisuke, and of course, he radiated happiness. And we participants felt it too. It was a space filled with love and happiness. I felt the healing power of the dolphins deeply, and Daisuke's aura naturally energized me. When we got out of the water, I felt warm-hearted thanks to the captain's kindness in helping us up from the boat. It was a tour filled with laughter and excitement.

In the end, we encountered a scene where the captain quickly spotted a boat that had engine trouble and called out to help with the rescue. Daisuke's words, "It's normal to help each other in times of trouble," reminded me of something so obvious yet so important. I am filled with gratitude that we were able to meet so many dolphins thanks to guides like Daisuke and the captain.

I want to refer to the method Daisuke taught me for surely realizing dreams and continue to pursue my dreams one by one. I hope to swim with the dolphins again someday under Daisuke's guidance.

Thank you so much, Daisuke, the captain, and all the participants who shared such a happy time with me!

I wholeheartedly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to swim with dolphins on the Big Island!

小さい頃から、野生のイルカと泳ぎたいと夢をみていたけど、
ハワイ島で、その夢が叶いました！！！！

ダイスケさんから、「今日はすぐに出会えると思うよ～」と言われた時、
もう嬉しくてその場で飛び上がりそうに。
野生のイルカだから、本当に会えるかはその時にしか分からないというのは
念頭に置きながらも、でもやっぱり、会いたい気持でいっぱい。

シュノーケリングは小さいころやった以来で、
海の中で呼吸ちゃんと出来るかなぁという不安で、最初海に入った時は
ちょっと焦り気味だったんだけど、ダイスケさんがそばにいてくれて、しっかり
フォローしてくれる安心感を感じてからは、怖さや不安なんてすぐに吹っ飛んでいました。

そして、海に出てから早々にイルカと遭遇！！！
ゆっくりと泳いでくれるイルカたちに、もう興奮MAX。
つい力がはいっちゃう。
でも、ダイスケさんに一番大切なことは、力を完全に抜くことだと言われたので、
後半からは、力を抜きリラックスした気持でイルカと何回も一緒に泳ぎました。

当然、野生のイルカ達なので、泳ぐスピードはその時々違う。
でも、だからこそ野生のイルカなんだなぁと感じれることも楽しさの１つな気がします。

とにかく、イルカちゃん可愛すぎる～。
ちゃんと海の中で、「キューキュー」と泣くイルカの声も聞こえます。
感動！！！！

そして、何よりイルカを愛し、イルカのことを知り尽くし、
姿が見えないのにイルカの存在をすぐにキャッチするダイスケさんの凄さに圧巻。
はい、海に入る準備して～と言われて入るとダイスケさんの言った通りに
イルカに遭遇することができる。もう魔法にかかったみたい。

ダイスケさん、本当にイルカと会話出来るみたいで、ダイスケさんのそばにはいつも
イルカが寄ってきて、一緒にダンス♪
愛する心は、ちゃんと伝わるんだなぁと実感しました。
イルカちゃんも、ダイスケさんと泳げて楽しそう♪ダイスケさんももちろん
HAPPYオーラ全開♪そして私たち参加者も。
愛とHAPPYしかない空間。
イルカの癒し力を心から感じ、ダイスケさんのオーラに自然とこっちまで元気になって、
海からあがる時、船上から手を伸ばしてあがるの手助けしてくれるキャプテンの優しさに
心が温かくなり、もうずっと笑いっぱなし、興奮しっぱなしのツアーでした。

最後、エンジントラブルで海の上で動けなくなった船をキャプテンがすかさず見つけて、
声を掛け、救助活動といった場面にも遭遇。
ダイスケさんの「困った時は助け合うのが普通だからね」といった言葉に、
当たり前の事なんだけど、再度その大切なことを再認識させられました。
こういうキャプテンや、ダイスケさんがガイドしてくれるツアーだから、
今回たくさんのイルカちゃんたちに出会えたんだろうなぁと感謝の気持でいっぱいです。

ダイスケさんが教えてくれた、夢を確実に叶えていく方法を参考に、
これからも１つ１つ夢を追っていきたいなぁと思います。
またいつか、ダイスケさんのガイドのもと、イルカちゃんたちと泳ぎたいな。

ダイスケさん、キャプテン、そして一緒にHAPPYな時間を共有させて頂いた参加者の方、
最高に幸せな時間をありがとうございました！！！！

ハワイ島でイルカと泳ぎたい方には、心からおすすめのツアーです☆

The location was beautiful at Captain Cook. I enjoyed the kayaking. However, I was not too impressed with the tour guide. My daughter and I were the only people on the tour.

ワイピオ渓谷　乗馬ツアー　絶景のなかを気軽に乗馬体験 ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞ by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

Second time riding at Waipi'o. 2度目のワイピオ乗馬

Reviewed by: うーたん

I participated once with my mother and daughter, and a second time with my family of three.

The wild paths that you can never experience in Japan are truly exhilarating, and the breathtaking views when you reach an open area are moving no matter how many times you see them.

The tour guide is a local from Waipi'o Valley, so they are very knowledgeable about the names of the lush trees and waterfalls, but of course, all the explanations are in English. Additionally, the formation is determined by the personality of the horse you are paired with, so if you get too far from the guides, you might not even hear the explanations (laughs).

For those who can enjoy such aspects and want to feel the vitality of Hawaii, I highly recommend this tour!

1度目は母娘2人で参加、2度目は家族3人で参加しました。

日本の乗馬体験では決して味わえないワイルドな道をずんずんと進み、
開けた場所に出た時のスケールの大きな景色は何度見ても感動します。

ツアーガイドはワイピオ渓谷の現地の方なため、生い茂る木々の名前や
滝の名前にはとても詳しいのですが、説明は当然すべて英語。
さらに隊列は相棒となった馬の性格で決まるため、2、3名つくガイドさんと
遠く離れてしまうと説明すら聞こえなくなってしまいます(笑)

そんなところも楽しめる方、ハワイの生命力を肌で感じたい方には
是非お勧めしたいツアーです！

Reviewed by: KYN

I decided to join the tour at the last minute, and it was an incredibly satisfying experience. The sea of clouds and sunset from near the summit, along with the starry sky, were breathtaking. We even got to see shooting stars. The natural beauty was, of course, stunning, but what really stood out was our guide, Macchan (Matsuzaki), with his cheerful personality and attentiveness. Additionally, the warm, separate-type winter clothing, gloves, hat, delicious bento, tasty miso soup, and the sweet cookies with tea provided were all top-notch, which I believe is thanks to Masashi Nature School.

Overall, I highly recommend it!

急遽参加申し込みを決めたのですが、大満足なツアーでした。頂上付近から見る雲海と夕日、満天の星空。流星まで見られました。自然が美しかったのはもちろんですが、ガイドを務めてくれた、まっちゃん（まつざきさん）の明るい人柄と気配りがとてもよかったです。また、上下セパレートタイプの暖かい防寒着、手袋、帽子、お弁当と美味しいお味噌汁、おやつに出してくれた紅茶に甘いクッキーなど、いたれりつくせりで、それは、マサシネイチャースクールだからだと思います。

I went on the night of the day I arrived in Hawaii Island after transferring from Kansai to Tokyo.
I was tired from the long journey and couldn't fight off my sleepiness, so I regretfully had to give up halfway through and couldn't see it until the end (>_<). It was disappointing (>_<).

However, the performances by the dancers and the band were wonderful and great (^_^).

The whole roasted pig was also amazing.

If the food had been a bit more substantial, it would have been even better, so I gave this rating.

Encountered wild manta rays! 野生のマンタと遭遇！

Reviewed by: とんとん

We gathered at the meeting point in the evening! The location provided after checking into the hotel was a bit unclear, and I ended up being slightly late. However, when I contacted the tour company, they responded kindly.

Upon arriving at the meeting point, I met the staff and other participants of the tour for the first time. There were not only Japanese people but also participants from overseas, and we chatted as we set off on the boat. I was excited to hear from the staff that if we spotted a manta ray for the first time and took a picture, we could name it!

Surprisingly, as we moved quickly, we witnessed a large sun setting over the ocean! While enjoying drinks, we gradually approached the sun as it sank into the sea, and we were able to take our time watching the sunset and capturing photos from the boat.

After it got dark, we all entered the water and encountered manta rays! I was able to swim closely with a large manta ray! I took pictures of the manta ray with my digital camera. On the way back, we enjoyed light snacks and had fun chatting with the staff and other participants, savoring the experience of the manta rays. It was a wonderful experience unique to the Big Island that I couldn't have in my daily life!!!

夕方に現地に集合！ホテルチェックイン後に連絡した際に教えてもらった集合場所がややわかりにくく、迷い集合時間を少し過ぎてしまいました。しかし、ツアー会社へ連絡すると、丁寧に対応していただきました。

現地へ集合すると、スタッフの方、一緒にツアーに行く人と初対面しました。日本人だけではなく、海外の方も参加しており、いろいろ話をしながら、船で出発しました。スタッフさんから、はじめてマンタを

意外にも早いスピードの中、進んで行くと、大きな太陽が海に沈むところ！ドリンクを飲みながら、徐々に海に近付いていく太陽、船の上でじっくり日の入を見て、写真を撮ったりすることができました。
その後は暗くなってから、みんなで海に入り、マンタと遭遇！大きいマンタとじっくり泳ぐことができました！持参したデシタルカメラで、マンタの

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＞

Enjoying the ocean of Hawaii Island to the fullest! ハワイ島の海を大満喫！

Reviewed by: ゆぅちゃん

On October 12th, I went on an adventure aboard the Captain Zodiac. The weather was incredibly nice, hot, and the sun was strong, but as a result, the sea and sky were beautifully clear and blue. Aside from us, there were two couples of foreign tourists, and everyone was friendly, creating a cheerful atmosphere from the moment we set off.

First, we headed out to sea at an amazing speed that made me feel like we might be blown away. Suddenly, we stopped in the middle of the deep blue sea, and the captain said, "Everyone, feel free to jump into the water," as he lowered the ladder. Everyone joyfully jumped into the sea. My husband dove in headfirst. I was a bit taken aback and stayed on the boat. Soon everyone returned, but when the captain asked, "Is there anyone who has any regrets?" one man pointed at me and joked, "She hasn't gone into the water!" I laughed and said, "Oh, I'm a little scared!" and everyone laughed along with me.

After that, we went snorkeling at the Captain Cook monument. The water was very clear, and we were able to see so many fish. Right nearby, there were many wild dolphins swimming, coming close to the boat, suddenly jumping, and swimming at incredible speeds; they were so cute. On the boat, we enjoyed sandwiches, fruits, and snacks while chatting happily, and we had a wonderful time. I thoroughly enjoyed the waters of Hawaii.

10月12日キャプテンソディアック号のアドベンチャーに行ってきました。天気は良すぎるくらいに良くて、暑くて日差しも強かったですが、その分海と空は真っ青に澄み切って綺麗でした。私達以外は外国人のご夫婦が2組でしたが、みなさん気さくで、出発した時から和気あいあいとした雰囲気でした。まずは吹っ飛ばされるのではと思うぐらいの物凄いスピードで沖に向かいました。そして突然どこまでも深く青い海のど真ん中で停止し、キャプテンが「みなさん好きなように海に入って下さい」と言って梯子を下ろしました。みんな喜んで海に飛び込んでいきます。主人も頭から飛び込みをしていました。私は少々面食らってしまい、船の上に留まっていました。すぐにみなさん戻って来ましたが、キャプテンが「みなさん思い残すことはない？」と質問すると、一人の男性が私を指さし「彼女が海に入っていない！」と冗談を言いました。私は「え～、ちょっと怖くって！」と言って笑ってごまかすと、みんなも一緒に笑っていました。その後はキャプテンクックの碑のところでシュノーケリングをしました。透明度が良く本当にたくさんの魚を見ることができました。すぐ近くでは野生のイルカたちがたくさん泳いでいて、船の近くまで寄ってきて突然ジャンプして見せたり、すごいスピードで泳いだりしてとてもかわいかったです。船上ではサンドイッチや果物、スナックなどを皆で楽しく話しながら食べて、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。ハワイの海を大満喫しました。

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

It was more fun than I imagined. 想像以上に楽しかった

Reviewed by: たろいもちゃん

We participated in the morning tour as a couple. Three days before the tour, I made a reconfirmation call from the front desk of our hotel (King Kamehameha), but we struggled to communicate (neither of us speaks much English), so we had to ask a hotel staff member to assist us.

On the day of the tour, we took a taxi to the meeting point, which cost about $30 (including tip). After checking in, we received some instructions from the tour guide in front of the boat, but since there was no roof, it was very hot, and I was worried about getting sunburned.

It took about an hour to reach the snorkeling spot. During that time, we could help ourselves to breakfast items like muffins, croissants, and fruits. After that, the tour staff came around to lend us fins, so we communicated our shoe sizes (in US sizes).

When we arrived at the Captain Cook Monument, there was a brief explanation before we started snorkeling. I brought anti-fog solution for my snorkeling mask from Japan, but there was some available on the boat as well.

The water was more transparent than I had imagined, and I was thrilled. There were various fish, and we swam while holding hands. Before participating, I was concerned about the depth of the ocean, but perhaps because we were wearing flotation devices, I didn't feel scared even when we went deeper.

After about an hour of swimming, we had lunch when we heard a signal of "ding ding ding." I think we were able to snorkel for almost another hour after lunch. The return boat was quite rocky, so I was glad I took motion sickness medication.

We chose seats on the first floor, so we didn't have to worry about the sun on the way there, and the breeze felt nice, but on the way back, it was cold because we were wet. The women's restroom on the boat had a broken lock, but it was clean.

On the way back, we encountered a pod of wild dolphins, and the boat stopped for a while to let us see them. We even got to see the dolphins jump. I would love to participate again.

午前のツアーに夫婦で参加しました。
ツアー３日前に宿泊ホテル（キングカメハメハ）のフロントからリコンファームの電話をかけましたが、上手く会話ができず（二人ともほとんど英語が話せません）、途中でホテルの人にかわってもらい対応してもらいました。
当日はタクシーで集合場所へ向かいました。※３０ドル（チップ込み）
チェックイン後、出航前に船の前でツアーの人から注意点等の説明をうけますが、屋根がない場所だったため、とても暑く日焼けが気になりました。
シュノーケリングスポットまでは約一時間。その間、マフィンやクロワッサン・フルーツなどの朝食がセルフで食べられます。そのあとフィンの貸し出しのためツアーの人たちがまわってきてくれますので、自分の足のサイズ（アメリカサイズ）を伝えます。
キャプテンクック記念碑の前につくと、また少し説明があった後シュノーケリングスタートです。日本からシュノーケリングマスクの曇り止め液をもっていきましたが、船内にもありました。
海の中は、想像以上に透明で感激しました。いろんな魚がいて、二人で手をつなぎながら泳ぎました。参加する前は海の深さが気になっていましたが、浮き具をつけていたためか、深めの方へ行っても怖さは感じませんでした。
一時間ほど泳ぐと「カンカンカン」という合図とともに昼食の時間になります。
食後も一時間弱はシュノーケリングできたと思います。
帰りの船は結構揺れたので、酔い止めを飲んでおいて良かったです。
私たちは１階の席にしたので、行きは日差しを気にする必要がなく風も気持ちよかったのですが、帰りは体が濡れているため寒かったです。船内の女子トイレは鍵が壊れていたけどキレイです。
帰りがけに野生のイルカの群れに遭遇し、しばらく船をとめてみせてくれました。イルカのジャンプもみれました。
また参加したいです。

マンタ大学夜学部　野生のマンタ＆ナイトシュノーケリングツアー ＜送迎可／日本語スタッフ乗船日あり＞

It was moving! 感動でした！

Reviewed by: Shimakko

On my first trip to the Big Island, I participated in a manta ray snorkeling tour on the night of the supermoon! I got lost because I mixed up the meeting place, but the captain found us, and we were able to join the group safely. The warm words from our guide really helped us feel at ease.

Both the captain and the guide were very efficient, and since the tour company had a private space at the harbor, we were able to change into our wetsuits while sitting down, which made everything smooth. Once we were ready, we boarded the boat and set off immediately.

It was cloudy when we left the harbor, but we were able to catch a glimpse of the sunset as we spent about 40 minutes on the boat before arriving at the snorkeling point. I learned that there are different types of manta rays, and the one we can see around the Big Island is the "Oniitomakie," which can grow as large as 6 meters.

We quickly adjusted our snorkeling masks and entered the water. Even though it was snorkeling, we could rely on the buoyancy of the wetsuits and just stay near the light that attracted plankton, so I think even those who can't swim or are not comfortable in the water can enjoy this activity.

Within about 5 to 10 minutes, manta rays came to us! They opened their mouths wide, floated on their backs to take in plankton, and kept circling back to us. It was amazing to see them up close, even though we weren't allowed to touch them; they came so close that it felt like they were bumping into us! It was truly moving! Seeing wild manta rays at such a close distance, even closer than at an aquarium, felt like a dream! We were able to see two smaller manta rays and two medium-sized ones repeatedly, so we got to enjoy watching four of them multiple times.

After the tour, we were treated to warm cocoa, snacks, and cereal bars to take care of our bodies. On the way back, we cruised under the full moon! It was the best tour where we could experience a sense of unity with nature!

今回初めてのハワイ島旅行で、スーパームーンの夜にマンタシュノーケルのツアーへ参加しました！！
待ち合わせ場所を間違え迷ってしまったのですが、船長が私たちを発見してくれ無事合流、ガイドさんの大変暖かい言葉にとても救われました。
船長もガイドさんも手際がよく、又ツアー会社がハーバーにプライベートスペースを持っていたためウェットスーツへの着替えも椅子に座ってできたためスムーズ。支度を済ませたらボートに乗り込みすぐに出発。
ハーバーから曇っていたけどちょっと見れた夕焼けを背に40分程度船に乗りシュノーケルポイントに到着。
「マンタ」と言っても種類があるそうで、ハワイ島で見ることが出来るのは「オニイトマキエイ」というマンタで、大きなものは６ｍもあるそうです。
私たちもシュノーケルマスクを合わせてすぐに着水。シュノーケルと言ってもウェットスーツの浮力を使い、プランクトンを引き寄せるライトに捕まっているだけでよいので、泳げない人でも極端な話水が苦手な人でも出来るアクティビティだと思います。

開始5～１０分程度ですぐに私たちのところもマンタが来てくれました！！
大きく口を空けて仰向けになってプランクトンを取り込みくるりと回りまた仰向けになり・・を繰り返して何度も来てくれました！！
触ってはいけないのですが、向こうからぶつかってくる程目の前で見ることが出来て、とても感動的です！！水族館のガラスに張り付くよりも近い距離で野生のマンタが見れるなんて夢みたいでした！
私たちの所には２匹の小さめのマンタと２匹の中くらいのマンタが繰り返し来てくれて、４匹を何度も見ることが出来ました☆

終わった後は暖かいココアとお菓子やシリアルバーで身体に気を遣っていただきました。帰りは満月の下をクルーズして帰りました！自然との一体感を味わえる最高のツアーでした☆

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour from Hilo [Not Operating]

What the --, I can't ... OMG! I cried.

Reviewed by: Silas

Thank you to Jork our pilot for an amazing flight. After breakfast, me and my friends hit up the Volcanoes Winery for some wine tasting and then whipped through the Volcanoes National Park to get an idea of what we'd see from the sky before heading to the airport for our helicopter flight. The check-in was easy (I gained a few pounds from all the Hawaiian food I ate, but it was okay) and the ground crew was super friendly. Make sure you get a phone strap if you want to take pics with doors off, or you can't take your phone with you. I really didn't expect a lot but as soon as we were hovering over small lava ponds I cried a little bit. It was so epic - it looked like we were on another planet. The black lava landscape stretched to the horizon. It was cold up there but whenever we got over the bright orange lava spots you could actually feel the waves of warmth, so soothing! We finished with a fly over bubbling pots waterfalls and some of the towns. All the buildings and cars were so tiny and perfect like a miniature model city. Thanks again to Paradise Helicopters and HawaiiActivities.com. Definitely an unforgettable moment on the Big Island. Ah man!

The weather and moon phase were favorable, making for a very good experience. Our guide, Yo, was smart. His quick thinking and eloquence were wonderful (laughs). I was able to take photos of stars that I couldn't capture with my own camera, and being able to download them for free was also appreciated. It truly became a great memory. Thank you, Yo, for your help.

お天気と月齢に恵まれて、とても良い経験になりました。
ガイドさんのヨウさんは賢い。
頭の回転と舌の滑りが素晴らしい(笑)
持参のカメラでは撮れない星の写真を撮影して頂け、無料でダウンロード出来るのも有り難いです。本当に良い思い出になりました。
ヨウさん、お世話になりました。

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

Sunset Dinner Cruise

Reviewed by: Lenora

We went on the dinner cruise our first night in Kona. The water was pretty choppy, myself and another woman became very sea sick from the beginning of the cruise. The crew were very concern and tried to make us as comfortable as they could. My husband and mom had a great time the enjoyed the food and entertainment.

Deluxe Captain Cook Snorkeling Tour at Kealakekua Bay - Fair Wind Cruises

Morning Snorkel

Reviewed by: Lenora

My husband, mom and I went on the Fair Wind Kealakekua Bay Snorkeling Sail. We had a great time the staff was awesome. The boat was very clean and beautiful. My mom is 75 and didn't snorkel but the crew was very nice and made sure she had everything she needed. When we return to Kona we will take this cruise again. The crew was very knowledgeable and made sure we knew everything we were seeing. The families with kids looked like they were having a great time especially on the high dive and slides. The area we went to was beautiful. We saw a shark hiding in the reef and many beautiful fish and coral. The food was great.

マウナケア山頂夕陽と星空観測ツアー ガイド撮影の一眼カメラ写真を無料ご提供！＜夕食付き／英語ガイド＞by マサシネイチャースクール

I couldn't make it to the summit, but I'm very satisfied. 山頂には行けなかったけど大満足

Reviewed by: ひろこ

Due to a protest against the construction of a new observatory, the road was closed beyond the Onizuka Center, and I couldn't reach the summit. However, the guide quickly took us to a different nearby location where we were able to see some truly breathtaking views. The weather was excellent, and it was mystical to see the sun setting below the sea of clouds and the shadow of the Earth. I could see the Milky Way with the naked eye and observed Saturn's rings through a telescope. The guide's explanations of the constellations were very interesting. Even though I couldn't reach the summit, it was still a wonderful experience, but I feel a bit regretful, so I want to try again for a rematch.

新しい天文台の建設反対デモとかぶってしまいオニヅカセンターより先がロードクローズで山頂へは行けませんでしたが、ガイドの方が急きょ近くの違う場所に連れてってくれてとても感動的な景色を見ることができました。お天気はとても良くて雲海の下に沈む太陽や地球の影も見れて神秘的でした。天の川が肉眼で確認でき、望遠鏡で土星の輪も観察しました。話し上手なガイドさんの星座の解説がとても面白かったです。山頂まで行けなくてもとてもいい体験ができましたがやっぱり悔しいのでまたリベンジしたいです。

マンタ大学夜学部　野生のマンタ＆ナイトシュノーケリングツアー ＜送迎可／日本語スタッフ乗船日あり＞

An amazing tour with manta rays coming up close! マンタが大接近で感動のツアー！

Reviewed by: misaloha

I was very satisfied overall with my first day upon arriving on the Big Island!

I took a taxi from my hotel in Kona to the meeting point. I had called ahead to ask for the exact location, so I had the driver drop me off at the restroom near the North (not South) parking area, and I quickly found the yellow and blue tent nearby. The meeting point is key for those gathering on-site. I arranged for the same taxi to pick me up for the return trip, and I made it back safely.

The tour had all Japanese participants, with one Japanese-speaking instructor and three local staff members, all of whom were very friendly, which was reassuring. We traveled quite a distance at high speed to the manta ray encounter point, but since we were on a rubber boat, we could straddle the edge and feel the wind like on a banana boat, which was a lot of fun. It felt like we were getting a bonus marine sports experience!

Since it was still bright when we arrived, we were able to snorkel until sunset, but there weren't many fish. The water was clear and beautiful, though. Once the sun finally set, the mantas came close to gather under the lights, attracted by the plankton! It was an emotional experience to see them up close! We weren't allowed to touch them (due to the risk of infection), but they came so close that they brushed against my legs several times! This experience is probably unique to just a few places in the world. It seems to be a famous tour globally.

Lastly, it's definitely a good idea to take motion sickness medication beforehand! We took it in advance, so we didn't feel any nausea at all, but other participants seemed to get quite seasick and couldn't get in the water, while some were just watching from above... Don't forget to take it!

ハワイ島到着初日に予定していました、総合的に大満足です！

コナのホテルからタクシーで現地集合にしました、事前に電話して詳しい場所をきいておいたので、運転手さんにもノース（サウスではなく）パーキングのそばのRestroomでおろしてもらい、近くにある黄色と青のテントは直ぐに見つかりました。現地集合の方はそこがポイントです。帰りも同じタクシーにきてもらい無事に帰れました。

ツアーは全員日本人の参加、日本語のインストラクターさんお一人と現地スタッフ3人皆さん感じの良い方で安心です。マンタ遭遇ポイントまではかなりの距離をハイスピードで向かいますが、ゴムボートなので外の枠にまたがって、バナナボートのように風を感じてとても楽しめました。まるでマリンスポーツもついてるようでお得！？

到着後まだ明るかったので、日が沈むまでスノーケリングできました、でもあまりお魚はいなかったです。海は透き通って綺麗でしたが。やっと日が沈むとライトの下に集まってくるプランクトンを目当てにマンタが寄ってきました！！！大接近で感動！！こちらからは触ってはいけないので（感染症の恐れあり）見るだけでしたが、あまりにも近くに寄ってくるので何度が自分の足に触れてきました！この体験は世界でもここぐらいではないでしょうか。世界的にも有名なツアーのようです。

最後に、必ず酔い止めは飲んでおいたほうがいいです！私たちは事前に飲んだので全く酔いませんでしたが、他の参加者の方はかなり酔われているようで海に入れず、上から見ている方も。。。是非お忘れなく！

The starry sky is amazing, but... 星空は最高〜ですが‥‥

Reviewed by: ﾙｲルイ

The staff was kind, and the starry sky was amazing. I really appreciated the thorough explanations. Although we couldn't reach the summit due to bad weather, it was a satisfying tour. One issue was that there were too many participants, which made the car feel cramped. We were seated together as a parent and child, but newlyweds were seated in front and behind us, and I felt a bit sorry for them as they were holding hands during the journey. I hope they consider not only increasing productivity but also the feelings of the participants.

スタッフも親切で、星空も最高でした。
丁寧な説明はhとても評価できます。
天候が悪く山頂までは行けませんでしたが、満足できるツアーでした。
課題としては、参加人数が多すぎて、車にすし詰状態なのには不満を感じました。
私達は親子で並び席でしたが、新婚の方が前後に座られ
せめてもと道中手を握られてるのが少し不憫に感じました。
生産性を上げる事〜だけでなくて、参加者の思いも汲んであげて欲しいです。

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　 レジェンズ・オブ・ハワイ（ヒルトンワイコロアビレッジ）＜日・火・金催行／ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題＞

I had a very enjoyable time. とても楽しい時間が過ごせました。

Reviewed by: ﾙｲルイ

I recommend arriving early at the meeting place since seating is done in the order of arrival. Even if you get there early, there will be juice available, so you can drink and chat, and time will pass quickly. We were about five groups back, but we ended up with seats at the very front. There will be a commemorative photo taken before seating, but the sales will be in front of the restroom later, so you don't have to purchase it. We bought one for the memories, though (laughs). The food and drinks are plentiful. The show is enjoyable, and the staff is friendly. They also provide blankets for cold weather. Dressing up adds to the fun. Since it was fully booked, I think making a reservation early is a good idea. I believe even the lower class of Grey is sufficient.

並んだ順に着席するので、早めに集合場所へ行く事をお勧めします。
早く行っても、ジュースの用意があるので、飲んでおしゃべりしていると時間はすぐに過ぎます。
5組くらい前にいましたが、私達は一番前の席になりました。
着席前に記念撮影がありますが、販売は後ほどトイレ前なので、購入はしなくても大丈夫です。
私達は思い出に買いましたが（笑）
お食事も飲み物も充実しております。
ショウも楽しく、スタッフもフレンドリーです。
寒さ対策のひざ掛けも配布してくれます。
おしゃれをして参加すると楽しさ倍増です。
満席でしたので、早めの予約が良いと思います。
グレイどの高いクラスでなくても十分だと思います。

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

First Night on Island

Reviewed by: Joanne

We had a great time! Staff was friendly and very interactive with guest, food was great and plentiful, entertainment was great, historical guide was informative and great to talk too! The boat wasn't packed with people like the other boats leaving the dock. We would definitely do the dinner cruise again. You get some spectacular sites from the cruise, even a dolphin side show. The captain stopped the Boat for dinner and we watched the spectacular sunset while eating. It was a great experience! I would highly recommend this dinner cruise.

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

The greatest/worst activity of the trip

Reviewed by: Mountain Man

I'll be honest, overall I didn't have a great time on this trip. We sailed off late and missed the sunset which we were supposed to enjoy, and then spent 15 minutes "sailing" in a circle getting tossed about in the waves in the boat which was very unenjoyable. I wouldn't call it snorkeling either. After an hour of getting tossed around in the waves, you get in your wet suit and get your snorkel mask and get in the water to hold on to a long float, getting beat up by the waves (some more) while playing footsie with your neighbor. Meanwhile, your float is drifting in the current towards the plethera of other boats in the surrounding area leaving you wondering if you're going to get run over or not. Seriously, our floating group ended up almost tangled in another boats anchor line. It was incredibly unsafe.

Why am I rating it a 3 with the description being very negative? Well it's because it's the most incredible thing to see Manta's swimming INCHES from you. We had quite a few come by and it was spectacular to witness for those few seconds.
