ハワイ島　乗馬ツアー　コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬！ ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

Safe for beginners. 初心者でも安心

Reviewed by: かずたそ

All four of us in the family were beginners, but it felt great to ride on a gentle horse. We moved slowly through the grasslands, so it wasn't scary at all. I definitely want to ride again next time.

家族４人みんな初心者でしたが、大人しい馬に乗ってとても気持ちよかったです。草原の中をゆっくりすすんでいくので怖くもなかったです。次回も是非乗りたいと思います。

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

Definitely give it a try! 是非トライしてみて

Reviewed by: どらみふぁ

I participated for the first time two years ago, recommended by the hotel concierge. We had no horseback riding experience and our English was not great, but it turned out to be an incredibly fun activity, so this is our second time joining. Just like last time, everyone else in the group was from Europe or America, but that was not a problem at all. The instructions are in English, but I think you can get the general idea. Additionally, there are explanations in Japanese posted on the stable walls, so you can understand how to ride the horse from that.

The group consists of about 12 people, with one guide at the front and one at the back, and we ride through the canyon for about 1.5 hours. The horse I rode this time was a 10-year-old stallion named "Rocky," who seemed to be the leader of the group, always walking right behind the front guide. Because of that, even though I couldn't understand the guide's English, I was able to listen to the explanations well.

This activity offers a wonderful experience of exploring the natural beauty of Waipi'o Valley, sometimes splashing through the river with the water up to the horses' bellies, making it so enjoyable that I want to go back for a second or third time. Also, when getting out of the car at the end, I noticed that the Europeans were giving tips to the guides, so don't forget that. We also gave a $30 tip for the two of us.

初回の参加は2年前で、ホテルのコンシェルジェに薦められて参加しました。乗馬経験も無く英語もダメな私たちですが、参加してみたら最高に楽しいアクティビティだったので、今回で2回目の参加です。前回と同様、私たち2人以外はすべて欧米人でしたが、全く問題ありません。説明は英語ですが、なんとなく雰囲気はわかると思います。それと厩舎の壁に日本語の説明書きが貼ってあるので、馬の乗り方はそれでわかると思います。1回あたり12人位のグループの先頭と最後尾にガイドさんが１人づつ付いて渓谷を約1.5時間の乗馬散策です。今回乗った馬は「ロッキー」という10歳の牡馬で、グループのリーダー格のようで、常に先頭のガイドさんの次を歩いていました。そのため、ガイドさんの英語がわからないながらも、説明をよく聞くことが出来ました。ワイピオ渓谷の自然の中で、時には川の中をジャブジャブと馬のお腹まで水に浸かりながら散策できるという、すばらしい体験ができるアクティビティなので2回、3回と行きたくなるくらいお薦めです。それと、最後に車を降りるときに、欧米人たちはガイドさんにチップを渡していたのでお忘れなく。私たちも2人で30ドルのチップを渡しました。

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

The sea of clouds, sunset, and starry sky were very moving!! 雲海と夕日＆星空、とても感動しました！！

Reviewed by: YUKA

The scenery on the way to the summit was also wonderful, but the view from the top and the starry sky were truly moving! It became a great memory that I will never forget. The Milky Way was so clear! I could even see satellites moving.

At first, we considered going by rental car, but it was definitely the right choice to join the tour. The road from a certain point to the summit was quite bumpy, so it would have been scary if we had a breakdown with a rental car... With the tour, they drive you to the summit, allowing you to enjoy the scenery around you, and on the way back, you can sleep in the car (laughs). I think it’s great in many ways.

The tour guide was also a really funny person! They took photos of us with the starry sky as the backdrop, and we could get them for free later. It’s hard to take such photos ourselves, so it was a nice surprise.

I wanted to photograph the starry sky with a DSLR, so I brought a small and lightweight tripod. I was unsure if it would be a hassle, but bringing the tripod was definitely the right decision!

By chance, we went on a new moon day, and I heard that more stars are visible during a new moon. If you can plan your schedule, I recommend going on a new moon day.

Also, it gets quite cold at the summit, so it's best to bring warm clothing. Gloves and a neck warmer will be very useful!

I would love to join again when I visit the Big Island! Thank you very much.

山頂にあがるまでの景色も素晴らしかったですが、山頂の景色＆星空に超感動！
一生忘れられない良い思い出になりました＾＾
天の川もこんなにくっきりと！人工衛星が動いているのも見れました。

初めは自分たちでレンタカーで行こうかとも考えましたが、ツアーに参加して正解。
途中から山頂まで道がかなりガタガタだったのでレンタカーだと故障したときに怖いですよね。。。
ツアーだと山頂まで運転もしてくれるので周りの景色をみる余裕もあるし、
帰り道は車内で寝れるし（笑）いろんな面で良いと思います。

ツアーのガイドさんもかなり面白い人でした！
星空バックに写真も撮ってくれてあとで無料で貰うことができます。
なかなか自分たちでは撮ることが出来ないので嬉しいですよね。

私は星空を一眼レフで撮影したかったので小さくて軽い三脚を持っていきました。
荷物になるしどうしようかと迷いましたが、三脚持っていって大正解でした♪

たまたま私たちがいったのは新月の日だったのですが
新月だと星がよりたくさん見えるそうです。もし日程狙えるなら新月の日がおすすめ。

あと山頂はかなり寒いので、防寒具しっかり持っていったほうがいいです。
手袋、ネックウォーマー等は持っていくと重宝すると思います＾＾

ハワイ島へいった時にはまた参加したいと思います！！有り難うございました。

ハワイ島　ハイキング＆オフロードドライブ　滝遊びもあり ＜1日／昼食付／英語ガイド＞

A valuable tour that allows you to enter places that are usually off-limits! ふだんは入れない場所に入れる貴重なツアー！

Reviewed by: カルロス

I participated with my family in mid-August.

Since the explanations are in English, it might be confusing for those who don't understand, but I think you can still enjoy it if you understand even a little.

Driving through private land that you usually can't access in a 6WD is interesting, but the bumpy ride made me hit my head on the ceiling.

After sweating from trekking in the grasslands overlooking Maui, swimming in the waterfall pool with other participants at the end was refreshing and fantastic.

The lunch sandwiches were quite good as well.

If I have the opportunity, I would like to study English and participate in this tour again.

8月中旬に家族で参加しました。

英語の解説なので分からない人にはチンプンカンプンですが
それでも一部でも分かるなら楽しめると思います。

普段は入れない私有地？を6WDで走るのは面白いけど
激しい揺れで頭を天井にうちます^^

マウイ島を望む草原のトレッキングで汗をかいたら
滝めぐりの最後で参加者との滝壺スイミングは
気持よくて最高でした。

ランチのサンドイッチもなかなかのもの。

機会があれば英語を勉強してまた参加したいツアーでした。

ハワイ島　乗馬ツアー　コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬！ ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

Enjoy the magnificent scenery to the fullest. 壮大な景色をたっぷり満喫

Reviewed by: ベーチャン

Compared to Dahana Ranch and Waipi'o Valley, the weather is often relatively good on the western slope, allowing for views of not only the vast grasslands but also the Pacific Ocean. The sun was strong, and I ended up with sunburned arms after a two-hour ride. All the horses were quite greedy, munching on grass all around. Aside from the fact that I fell off when my foot slipped out of the stirrup during a trot, leaving a bruise on my thigh, it was a satisfying tour.

ダハナランチやワイピオバレーに比べると西側斜面にあるため、比較的天候が良いことが多く、大草原だけでなく太平洋も見ることができる。陽射しが強かったこともあり、2時間のライドで腕だけ日焼けした。馬はみな食いしん坊で途中でそこら中の草を食べまくっていた。トロットで鐙から足が外れて落馬し大腿部に大字が残ったことを除けば満足のツアーである。

I had participated in a tour on Oahu before, and surprisingly, I had a lot of fun, so I assumed that on the nature-rich Big Island, I would see plenty of fish. However, it was disappointing. But I think first-timers will enjoy it. The submarine is about a 5-minute ride from the pier, which is more convenient than Oahu.

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

The most wonderful memory from my trip☆ 旅行で一番素敵な思い出☆

Reviewed by: れーりん

I was looking for some marine sports to do on the Big Island of Hawaii and found this tour. It was attractive because it included breakfast and lunch, the boat had a slide, and they provided equipment rentals, so I decided to sign up. However, I was quite anxious about the lack of transportation, as we had to get there on our own. After reading reviews here, I thought we could take a taxi, which encouraged me to go ahead with the booking.

On the day of the tour, I got into the taxi that I had arranged with the hotel staff the day before, and we set off! But right from the start, there was an unexpected incident... The taxi driver seemed to have misunderstood and took us to the bay next to our intended destination. We realized this after arriving, and it was a close call whether we would make it on time. While hurrying back, the driver called Fi'awind and convinced the receptionist to wait for us, assuring her that he would get us there. We arrived just in time for departure and managed to board the boat. I was moved by the humanity of the taxi driver and the receptionist amidst the chaos. You wouldn't receive such heartfelt assistance in Japan, and it was a moment that made me feel I had a wonderful travel experience (^ - ^).

The boat set sail for the intended bay. Most of the passengers were foreigners, and everyone spent the hour chatting and snacking while lounging comfortably. However, the boat rocked quite a bit, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to seasickness!

Once we arrived, we received a brief explanation about the bay, a story about Captain Cook's monument, and some safety instructions before starting snorkeling! It was my first time snorkeling, and I was amazed by the depth of the ocean as I put on the fins and goggles and headed into the water! I was struck by the blue color and clarity of the sea. Since it was a protected area, the water was a transparent blue that I had never seen before. There were plenty of fish, and the time flew by.

For lunch, we each went back to the boat to eat hamburgers and hot dogs. Since the time was limited, be careful while snorkeling, or you might miss your chance to eat.

Then we went back into the water! In the second half, quite a few people used the diving board and slide. However, the water was too deep, and we were told not to wear goggles or floatation devices, so I couldn't jump in ^_^; I enjoyed taking photos and watching the fish, and the second half came to an end.

In the first half, it was sunny, so I didn't feel too cold, but in the second half, the sun was hidden by clouds, and the water got cold, making me feel quite chilly. The Big Island feels a bit cooler compared to Oahu, so I think it's a good idea for those sensitive to cold to bring long sleeves.

The return trip was quick. After the tour, I got into the taxi I had arranged with the same driver on the way there and returned to the hotel.

I want to participate in this tour again, as it created the best memories on the Big Island!

ハワイ島で何かマリンスポーツをしたいなと思い探していた所、こちらのツアーを見つけました。
朝ご飯も昼ご飯も出るし、ボートに滑り台が付いてるし、道具も貸し出ししてくれるしで魅力的なポイントがたくさんあったので申し込みを決めました。
ただ送迎がなく、現地まで自分たちで行かなくてはいけないという点がとても不安でしたが、ここでの口コミを見ていて、タクシーを使って行けるだろうと思い、申込みに踏み切りました。

当日。
前日にホテルのお姉さんに頼んでおいてあったタクシーに乗り込み、いざ出発！
しかし出端からまさかのハプニング…
タクシーのおじさんが勘違いしていたようで、目的の湾の隣の湾に行ってしまい、着いてから気づいたので時間は間に合うか間に合わないかのギリギリ。急いで戻りながら、おじさんがフィアウィンド社に電話してくれて、絶対送り届けるから待っててくれ！と受付のお姉さんに説得してくれました。
そして出発時間ギリギリに到着し、なんとか乗船出来ました。
ドタバタした中、タクシーのおじさんや受付のお姉さんのヒューマニティに感動しました。日本ではこんな親身な対応は絶対受けれないし、旅行で素晴らしい体験をしたと感じる瞬間でした(^-^)

そして船は出航し、目的の湾へ。
客はほぼ外人で占めており、皆ゆったりと寝っ転がったりお話ししながらお菓子を食べたりと湾までの1時間を過ごしました。ただ船がすごく揺れるので、乗り物酔いがひどい人は薬を飲むことをおすすめします！

着いてからは少し湾の説明やクック船長の記念碑の話、注意事項などの説明を受け、シュノーケル開始！
初シュノーケルだったので、海の深さにびっくりしながらも借りたフィンとゴーグルをつけいざ海へ！
まず海の青さと透明度に驚きました。保護地区ということもあり、今まで見たことのない透き通ったブルーをしていました。魚もたくさんおり、時間はあっという間でした。

お昼は各自で船に上がってハンバーガーやホットドッグを食べました。時間が短く設定されているので、気をつけながらシュノーケルをしないと食べ損なってしまうので注意して下さい。

そして再び海へ！後半は結構飛び込み台や滑り台を使う人がいました。ただ、海があまりにも深く、ゴーグルも浮き具もつけちゃダメとの事だったので、私は飛べませんでした^_^;
ゆーったりと写真を取りつつ魚を見て、後半も終了。

前半は日が出ていたのであまり寒さを感じませんでしたが、後半は日が雲に隠れてしまい、水が冷えてすごく体が冷えてしまいました。
ハワイ島はオアフ島に比べて少し涼しい感じがするので、寒さに弱い人は長袖とか持っておいた方がいいと思います。

帰りはあっという間でした。解散後は行きのタクシーのおじさんに頼んでおいた帰りのタクシーに乗り込みホテルまで帰りました。

ハワイ島で一番の思い出を作ることが出来たこのツアーに、また参加したいと思います！！

Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Discover Hilo Tour - Volcanic Landscapes & Waterfalls

Mountain on Fire

Reviewed by: Gerry

Kilauea does what it wants, but the only way to really get an idea of what that is is to see it by helicopter. I've done that on two occasions a couple of years apart. This tour was by far superior to the previous one. While we covered essentially the same territory, our pilot on this trip was pleasant, knowledgeable, and very professional. At the end of the tour, we had a much better understanding of the nature of the mountain; and the waterfalls, too, were majestic.

I participated in a stargazing tour guided by You-kun. I was so happy to see the wonderful sunset and even the shadow of the Earth.

During the stargazing, the guide, who was knowledgeable about constellations, explained various constellations, and You-kun, who was familiar with cameras, taught us how to use each camera. He also took many photos with my own camera. Thank you!

I was able to capture the Milky Way with my own camera. I was so moved!!

Despite the cold, the thoughtful preparation of warm drinks was excellent. (About the bento...)(laughs)

You-kun was high-energy throughout, but sometimes he spoke a bit too quickly for me to catch everything, which was charming in its own way.

Thank you very much. I definitely want to participate in another Masashi Tour next time.

それこそ、途中のお弁当は。。。。。と、して、サンセットの素晴らしさと地球の影まで見ることができて幸せでした。

自前のカメラでもたくさん写真を撮ってくれました。ありがと～。

Reviewed by: ゆずまん

We visited the Big Island for our honeymoon, which was two years in the making.

Basically, we relaxed at the hotel and drove around the island, but we did sign up for this one optional tour.

The sunset and starry sky were incredibly beautiful! We brought our own camera, but the tour company provided a high-spec camera and took many photos for us, which we could download for free—such a nice touch. I definitely think it's worth signing up for this tour if you have the time. It became the best memory of our honeymoon.

By the way, on the day of the tour (late August), it was said to be warmer than usual, but it was still surprisingly cold near the summit compared to what we expected from the hotel! However, the tour company provided miso soup and hot drinks, and they lent us jackets, so we didn't have to worry too much!

２年越しの新婚旅行でハワイ島を訪れました。
基本的にはホテルでのんびりしたり、ドライブで島を巡ったりとしていたのですが、
唯一、こちらのオプショナルツアーだけは申し込みました。

！！！サンセットも、星空も大満足の美しさです！！！
自分たちでカメラも持っていきましたが、ツアー会社の方がハイスペックなカメラでたくさん撮ってくれる上に、無料でダウンロードできるのでそれもまあ素敵です。
ぜひ時間に余裕があれば、このツアーだけでも申し込む価値があると思います。
新婚旅行の最高の思い出になりました。

ちなみに、当日（８月下旬）は、いつもより温かいということでしたが、それでも山頂付近はホテル付近からは予想できないほど寒かったです！それでも、ツアー会社の方が味噌汁や温かい飲み物を提供してくれたり、上着を貸してくれるのでそれほど心配もいりません！

It's difficult to visit Waipi'o Valley without a tour. It's a very beautiful place. While horseback riding, you will splash through streams. However, horses are living creatures. They are well-trained, but they might graze, drink water, or stand still. If you can enjoy that aspect as well, it will be a very fun tour. The tour guides were really cool!

ツアー以外で行くのは難しいワイピオ渓谷。とても美しい場所です。乗馬では小川もじゃぶじゃぶと渡っていきます。ただし、馬は生き物。よくしつけられてはいますが、草をはんだり、水を飲んだり、じっとしていてはくれません。そこも含めて楽しめればとても楽しいツアーになります。ツアーガイドのお姉さんたち、とってもかっこよかったです。

At the Onizuka Center, it was drizzling, but from around the 3000m mark, the weather cleared up beautifully. While looking down at the sea of clouds, we waited for the sunset. The orange sun painted the surroundings, and we could see pink clouds after sunset, which already made for an unprecedented experience that excited us. After that, we descended a bit for stargazing. We saw shooting stars and satellites, making it the best night ever. If you visit the Big Island, I highly recommend participating in this experience. The guides were wonderful, managing our health and explaining the night sky. If you decide to join, I suggest preparing for winter weather. Depending on the weather, it was quite cold at the summit. If I have the chance to visit the Big Island again, I would definitely want to do this once more.

鬼塚センターでは小雨でしたが3000ｍを超えたあたりから快晴。雲海を下にみながら、日没をまちます。オレンジ色の太陽があたりを染め、日没後のピンク色の雲も見られこの段階ですでに今までにない体験に興奮。その後少し下山して星空観測。流れ星も人口衛星も見られ、最高の夜でした。ぜひハワイ島にお越しなら、参加をお薦めします。案内の人も、体調管理から星空の説明等、素晴らしかったです。もし参加するのでしたら、冬支度をお薦めします。天気にもよると思いますが、山頂は寒かったです。
またハワイ島を訪れることがあったら、ぜひもう一度みたいと思います

ケアウホウ湾シーカヤック＆シュノーケルツアー　海中洞窟探検プランあり　＜早朝・午前／日本語ガイド＞by キング・カヤック・ハワイ

The sea kayaking was amazing. シーカヤック最高でした

Reviewed by: tetsu

Last year and this year, I visited the Big Island of Hawaii for two consecutive years. Last year, I went to Volcano National Park, but this year I challenged myself with sea kayaking and snorkeling in Keauhou. It was just the two of us and our three elementary school children, and we were able to have a private party, which allowed us to fully enjoy at our own pace. The morning sky and sea were richer and more vivid than those in Japan, and the sea breeze felt amazing while kayaking. The sea caves themselves are a natural wonder, and while they are impressive, my actual impression was just okay. Additionally, getting there was a bit hard for our young children, but the sea kayaking itself was a lot of fun. We didn't see any honu (sea turtles) or dolphins while snorkeling, but the water was very clear and beautiful. Although I'm not a poor swimmer, I had three children with me (I was responsible for two), and since it was their first time snorkeling in the deep open sea, I decided to wear a life jacket just in case. However, the current was quite strong, making it difficult to swim, which ended up exhausting my already limited stamina. So, for those who can swim a bit, a life jacket might not be necessary. But the staff, Noni and Kevin, were very kind and friendly, which made the experience really great. Thank you, Noni and Kevin!

昨年、今年と2年連続でハワイ島に行きましたが、昨年はvolcano国立公園に行ったのですが、今年はケアウホウでシーカヤックとシュノーケリングにチャレンジしました。夫婦2人に小学生3人の私たちでしたが、私たちだけのpartyにしていただき、本当に自分たちのペースでフルにエンジョイできました。朝早くの空と海は日本のそれよりもそれぞれに濃く鮮烈で、カヤックの上で体感する海風は最高でした。海中洞窟自身は自然の産物でそれはそれなりにすごいものの、実際の感想はまあまあです。さらに、結構そこまで行くのが小学校低学年の子供連れにはいささかハード（父親50がきつかっただけか？）ではありましたが、シーカヤックそのものがすごく楽しかったです。シュノーケリンではホヌ（ウミガメ）やイルカには会えませんでしたが、透明度は高く、非常に美しいものでした。私自身は泳ぎは不得手ではないものの、子供が3人おり（私の担当は2人でしたが）、3人が完全な深い外海でのシュノーケリングは初めてだったので、もしものことを考えてライフジャケットを着用したのですが、結構海流が速いので抵抗が強く、かえって泳ぎにくく、その結果、結構もともと少ない体力を消耗させる結果となったので、すこしでも泳げる人はラフジャケットは不要かもしれません。でもスタッフのノニさんとケビンさんは非常に親切でやさしくfriendryであったので、とってもよかったです。ノニさん、ケビンさんありがとうございました。

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＞

It was fun! 楽しかった‼︎

Reviewed by: Yoshie

It was unexpected from the start. We were told to sit at the edge of the rafting boat, and they said the front was like a roller coaster! So, with our older child, we all moved to the back. When the boat started, I clung on tightly at first, thinking I might be thrown off, but as I got used to it, the wind felt absolutely amazing.

When we arrived at the spot, our tour companions started jumping in one after another, and we followed suit. It was simply beautiful! I lost track of time chasing fish with my 8-year-old son. We were surprised and satisfied to find small blue fish, round black fish, and even an eel! When we popped our heads out of the water, my older son was so excited that he got a nosebleed just before heading back to the boat. The boat captain kindly told him he would give him a cookie, so he could go back and enjoy the sea!

After taking a break with sandwiches and juice for lunch, we headed back into the water. Since the group that had arrived earlier had mostly left, we were able to swim leisurely. While our group was getting ready to leave and resting on the boat, a pod of dolphins came right next to us, which was a delightful surprise. On the way back, I was comfortably holding on with one hand, while my older son was sound asleep amidst the sounds, swaying, and wind. We only got to look at the lava caves, but overall, it was a tour with 120% satisfaction!

出発から予想外で。ラフティングボートは、ここへ座ってと言われたところはボートの縁、前はジェットコースター並だよ！と言われ、年長児連れの我が家はみんなで後方へ。ボートがスタートすると始めは振り落とされるかと思う勢いでしがみついて乗っていたものの、慣れてくると風がものすごく気持ちがイイ。
スポットに到着すると、ツアーの仲間はどんどん飛び込むので、つられるように飛び込むと、とにかく美しい！8歳の息子と魚を追ってると時間を忘れてしまうほど。小さな青い魚から黒い丸っこい魚、ウツボまで見つけてびっくりと満足！海から顔を出してみると、年長児の息子は興奮のあまり⁈鼻血を出しボートに戻るところだった。ボートのキャプテンは鼻血を出した息子にクッキーあげとくから海に戻って楽しんで来て！と対応してくれた。お昼にはサンドイッチとジュースでひと息いれた後また海へ。先に来ていたグループがだいぶ帰って行ったのでゆったりと泳ぐことができた。我がグループも帰る準備でボートに戻って休んでいるとイルカの群れがボートのすぐそばまで来るというれしいハプニング。帰りのボートは私は余裕で片手でつかまり、年長児の息子はあの音と揺れと風の中、熟睡していた。溶岩の洞窟は眺めるだけだったけど、とにかく満足度120パーセントのツアーでした！

On our last night in Hawaii, we decided to go to a luau. It was our first time, and I'm glad we went. We walked from a nearby hotel, and it's conveniently located in the town. We arrived early, and even 30 minutes before check-in, there was quite a line (the line is divided into one for extra fee and one for regular; if you arrive early for the regular line, you can get seats that are almost the same as the extra fee ones). There were hardly any Japanese people, possibly because the entire event was in English, and it seemed like most attendees were from the mainland and India. Although my child doesn't understand English, they enjoyed various experiences, starting with the shell lei received upon entry, the vibrant show, delicious food, and activities like making fish from coconut leaves and getting temporary tattoo-like stamps on their body. The show featured not only Hawaiian hula but also dances from various Polynesian islands, which felt quite impressive, and we enjoyed it nonetheless.

ハワイ島最後の夜はルアウに行こうと決めていました。初めてでしたが、行って良かったです。近くの別のホテルから徒歩で行きましたが、町中の便利な場所です。早めに行って、受付スタートの30分前でもかなりの行列でした（extra feeを払う列とregularの列に分かれて並びます。regularでも早めに行けば、extraとほとんど変わらない席に座れます）。全編英語のためか日本の方はほとんどいなくて、mainlandとIndiaからの方々が多かったようです。子どもは英語はわかりませんが、入るときにいただく貝殻のLeiに始まり、華やかなshowや美味しいお料理、そして、Hulaやcoconut leafでお魚を作る体験、体にtatoo風のスタンプを押してもらう体験などいろいろ楽しんでいました。ShowはHawaiian Hulaだけでなく、ポリネシアのいろんな島々の踊りがあって、かなりshow up された感じは受けましたが、それはそれで楽しめました。

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＞

The best in Hawaii Island! So much fun! ハワイ島で1番‼︎最高に楽しい(^o^)

Reviewed by: KOBEシバガッキー

This is our fourth time on the Big Island! We've participated in various tours each time, but the 'Captain Zodiac' was the best! The rafting and snorkeling tour on the rubber boat was amazing. The captain was a handsome guy like Johnny Depp from Pirates of the Caribbean. The female staff were beautiful, and the other participants included cheerful young American men and older ladies. We were the only Japanese family, but even with our limited English, we felt like we were abroad, and it was no problem! Before departure, we received a Japanese instruction manual, and communication through gestures worked well.

In the past, when we went to snorkeling points by boat, I would get seasick, and when kayaking, I would get tired from paddling to the point. But this time was the best! The rafting on the rubber boat was exhilarating, bouncing over the waves. At first, I clung to the rope, but as I got used to it, I was screaming with excitement like on a roller coaster, enjoying the wind and the scenery.

We admired the streets of Kailua-Kona, the mountains of Kona's coffee farms, and the unique rock formations and caves created by lava, all while cheering at the thrilling, acrobatic steering that felt like we might flip over. Right after leaving the harbor, we encountered a pod of dolphins multiple times, jumping and swimming alongside the boat, so close that we could almost touch them.

At the snorkeling point, we fully enjoyed the underwater world. My high school daughter and college son swam freely to where they could touch fish and sea urchins while free diving. (We were warned by the captain not to touch or take anything, so we just observed, but it was still wonderful.) I had a past experience of getting sunburned on my back while floating face down, so wearing a rash guard was a great idea.

The lunch we had on the boat—chips, cookies, sandwiches, drinks, pineapple, and oranges—was absolutely delicious. The snorkeling tour from 10 AM to 3 PM was a lot of fun because the boat was small and fast, allowing us to reach distant waters in no time. It was an exhilarating experience, and I was 200% satisfied.

Rash guards, sunglasses, and sunscreen are essential, but as long as you have those, you're good to go! On the way back, we dried off in our swimsuits, threw on T-shirts, and drove to downtown, enjoying happy hour drinks and seafood at a restaurant along the coast before returning to the hotel.

It was the most enjoyable day on the Big Island. I want to ride the 'Captain Zodiac' again next time!

ハワイ島は.家族で4回目！毎回いろんなツアーに参加してますが‘キャプテン・ゾディアック号’は、最高でした！ゴムボートでのラフティング＆シュノーケルツアー、船長さんは、パイレーツオブカリビアンのジョニーディップの様な男前♥︎女性スタッフも美しく、参加メンバーもスタッフかと思う程陽気なアメリカ人青年や年配のご婦人等、日本人は、私達家族だけですが、あまりわからない英語も、海外に来た感じを味わえて、問題無し！出航前に日本語の説明書がもらえるし、身振り手振りで通じるものです。

今まで、船でシュノーケルポイントまで行った時は、船に酔ったり、カヌーの時は、ポイントまで漕ぐのが疲れたり、いろんな思いをしましたが、今回は、最高でした！
ゴムボートでのラフティングは、海の上を跳ねて、始めは、紐にしがみついてましたが、慣れて来ると、遊園地のジェットコースターの様にキャーキャー言いながら、風を感じ景色を楽しみました。
カイルアコナの街並みを望み、コナのコーヒー農園の山並み、溶岩でできた奇岩、洞窟を見ながら、スリリングなひっくり返りそうなアクロバティックな舵さばきに歓声をあげました。
港を出てすぐ、イルカの群れに何度も出会い、ジャンプしたり、ボートに並走したり、手を伸ばせば触れる所をイルカが泳いでました。
シュノーケルポイントでは、海の世界を満喫しました。高校生の娘と大学生の息子は、素潜りで魚やウニにタッチできそうな所まで自由自在に泳いでました。（触ったり取ったりしてはダメと船長から注意があるので、見るだけですが、満喫しました）
シュノーケルに夢中になりすぎて、うつ伏せで浮いてると背中が日焼けで痛い思いをした過去があるので、ラッシュガードは、偉大です。
船で食べた、ポテチ、クッキー、サンドイッチ、ドリンク、パイナップル、オレンジの海の上でのランチは、最高に美味しかったです。
10時から3時までのシュノーケルツアー、ボートが小さく速いので、遠い海まで行けるし、アッと言う間で大変楽しかったです。ワクワク度200%大満足でした。
ラッシュガード、サングラス、日焼け止めは、必需品ですが、それさへあればOK!
帰りは、水着も乾いてて、Tシャツを羽織り、海から眺めたダウンタウンの街へドライブして、海岸沿いのレストランでハッピーアワーのドリンクとシーフードでお腹を満たして、ホテルへ帰りました。
ハワイ島で1番楽しんだ日でした。
また次回も‘キャプテン・ゾディアック号’に乗りたいです♪

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

It was an uplifting tour. 元気が出るツアーでした

Reviewed by: 骨休め

I took a 4-night, 6-day trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, and this time I booked the Mauna Kea summit sunset tour with two different companies. The weather was different, and naturally, the guides were different as well, allowing us to enjoy each of their unique personalities. Both sunset and stargazing experiences were satisfying tours from both companies.

This time, we had two vehicles for the summit and stargazing; one vehicle had a telescope while the other handled meals. At the Onizuka Center, we were even allowed to have seconds on the miso soup, and it was great that they provided over-pants and other rentals, reducing the amount of luggage we had to bring.

Participants from both vehicles gathered at the parking lot near the summit to gaze at the stars, listen to explanations about constellations, and we were shown Saturn's rings through the telescope. Every time we looked, we joked about whether it was a sticker! We also took commemorative photos against the starry backdrop, and while waiting for our turn at the telescope, we enjoyed cookies and warm drinks, making the time fly by without any boredom.

As expected from a renowned guide, it was a fun tour that kept us engaged throughout.

As a side note, bringing a small light with red cellophane can help reduce worries about footing during boarding, parking lot steps, etc. Also, the summit's basic restroom is quite dark after sunset!

4泊6日ハワイ島のみ旅行、マウナケア山頂サンセットツアーを今回は他社さんと2回入れました。天候が違いガイドさんも当然違いそれぞれの個性を楽しませて頂きました。サンセットと満天の星々星空観察の結果は両社満足できる良いツアーでした。今回も2台で山頂と星空観察、一台が望遠鏡もう一台が食事他の担当のようでオニズカセンターではお味噌汁のお代わりもOK、オーバーパンツ他貸し出しで持参する荷物が減るのはありがたかったです。2台参加者一緒に山頂付近の駐車場で星空を眺め星座などの説明を聞き望遠鏡で土星の輪っかを見せて頂き何度見てもシール？かと笑ながら、お話を聞かせて頂きました。そして星空をバックに記念撮影、望遠鏡他順番待ち中にクッキーや温かい飲み物を頂き退屈することなくあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。さすが名物ガイドさんの案内、飽きること無い楽しいツアーでした。
蛇足ですが赤色セロファン張ったスモールライト等持って行くと乗降や駐車場の段差等足下心配減って良いですよ。と、山頂簡易トイレ日没後は暗いです〜。

We participated in the tour as a couple. We were moved by the starry sky and the sunset! There was a zone where we couldn't sleep due to altitude sickness prevention, but the guide engaged us with interesting stories and played songs related to the stars (we arrived at our destination while listening to familiar tunes). They were considerate at every turn. At the summit, I didn't feel cold thanks to the gear we were provided. Thank you very much!

夫婦でツアーに参加させていただきました。星空とサンセットには感動しました！高山病対策で途中から寝てはいけないゾーンがあったのですが、おもしろいお話で話しかけてくださったり、星に関する曲をかけてくださったり（なじみの曲で聴いている間に目的場所に着きました）、都度都度配慮してくださいました。頂上は、貸していただいたウェアで寒さは感じなかったです。本当にありがとうございました！

Reviewed by: MAYUMI

I participated on August 6th. Last year, I joined a tour with another company, but unfortunately, I couldn't encounter any dolphins, so this year was a chance for revenge! After reading everyone's reviews, I decided on Aloha Kona Tours. I was worried about whether we could safely go on the tour since a hurricane was approaching, but it turned out to be calm, and the weather was nice, which put me at ease.

Above all, the swim guide Daisuke and Captain Nawata were wonderful people. My daughter, who was scared of snorkeling in deep water, was able to truly enjoy herself thanks to both of them. Following Daisuke and Nawata's instructions, we encountered over 100 dolphins up close! Every time we entered the water, we were able to meet them, and it was incredibly exciting. The blue of the ocean and the cuteness of the dolphins are unforgettable even after returning to Japan! Thank you so much.

We are talking as a family about wanting to join Aloha Kona Tours again next year to meet the dolphins!

8/6に参加しました。昨年他社のツアーに参加しましたが運悪くイルカに出逢う事が出来ず今年こそ！とリベンジでした。皆さんの口コミを見てアロハコナツアーズさんに決めました。ハリケーンが近付いていたので無事にツアーに行けるか心配でしたが、嵐の前の静けさだったのか波も穏やかでお天気も良かったので安心しました。何よりもスイムガイドのダイスケさんとキャプテンの縄田さんのお人柄がとても良くて、足のつかない所でのシュノーケルを怖がっていた娘もお二人のおかげで心より楽しむ事が出来、念願だったイルカちゃん達にもダイスケさん縄田さんの指示通りにするだけで物凄い近さで100頭以上はいたでしょうか？海に入る度に出逢う事が出来て大感激でした。海の蒼さとイルカ達の可愛さが日本に帰国しても忘れられません！本当にありがとうございました。
来年もアロハコナツアーズさんでイルカちゃん達に逢いに参加したいねーと家族で話しています。

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

I had a great time! 楽しめました！

Reviewed by: mimi

We participated as a couple with our fourth-grade son. There were no explanations in Japanese, but we were able to borrow prescription masks, and there were no particular issues. The snorkeling point had very clear water, and we were able to see various fish, which our child enjoyed thoroughly for the entire time. The food was delicious, the staff were kind, and the boat was clean, which was great. We went to the designated parking area the day before as a preliminary check, but it was unclear where to park. When we asked the staff, they told us to park in front of the Sheraton Hotel. Since others were also parking there, I think it would be good to confirm this in advance. I recommend this tour.

小学校4年生の男の子と夫婦で参加しました。日本語の説明などはありませんでしたが、度付きのマスクも貸してもらえ、特に問題はありませんでした。シュノーケルポイントもとても透明度の高く、色々な魚を見ることができ、時間一杯子供も楽しみました。食事も美味しく、スタッフも親切で船も清潔でよかったです。下見を兼ねて前日に駐車場に指定されている所に行きましたが、どこに停めてよいか、わかりにくく、スタッフに聞くと、シェラトンホテルの前に停めるように言われました。他の人たちもそこに停めていたので、事前に確認されるといいと思います。お薦めのツアーです。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail

Sunset and stars

Reviewed by: Anne

Amazing sunset from the summit and a very informative evening all round. The meal en route was pretty average but the pause in the journey for the meal made the transition
to 14000 feet more manageable. The views are out of this world and it was a relief not to have to drive ourselves to and from the summit, even though on our trip the minibus broke down and it took an hour to get the replacement bus up to us. It was handled well though and overall was a very worthwhile trip.
