We participated as a family of four. While enjoying dolphin watching along the way, we arrived at the snorkeling point about an hour after departure. It was like a cove surrounded by coral, with no waves, and we were able to see various fish. The Zodiac is a large rubber boat, but it goes quite fast, so it gets pretty cold on the way back after getting out of the water. I recommend bringing a thick bath towel or something like a fleece.
家族4名で参加しました。途中イルカウォッチングを楽しみながら、出港から約1時間でシュノーケリングポイントに到着。珊瑚に囲まれた入江のようなところで、波もなく、色々な魚を観ることができました。ゾディアック号は大きなゴムボートのような船ですが、かなりスピードも出るので、海から上がった帰りは結構寒くなります。厚手のバスタオルか、フリースのようなものを持って行くことをお勧めします。

Unfortunately, on the day of our visit, the waves were so high that swimming was prohibited at the beach, and we were informed that we couldn't be taken to the underwater cave located about three miles away. However, they explained everything very politely and offered us the option to cancel or enjoy activities in the bay at half price, so we ended up having a great time kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding in the bay. In the end, we were very satisfied.
当日はあいにくビーチでも遊泳禁止が出るほど波の高い日で、3マイルほど先の入江にある(らしい)海中洞窟までは連れて行けないとのこと。とても丁寧に説明してくれたのとキャンセル又は半額で湾内で遊んでもよいとのことだったので、湾内カヤックとスタンドアップパドルを楽しみました。結果的に満足できました。

I can only speak a little English, but I was really drawn to the idea of exploring caves by kayak, so I signed up.
At first, I was a bit confused by the speed of the conversation during the explanations, but all the staff members were really nice, so my anxiety quickly disappeared.
Although we couldn't actually explore the caves because the waves were too high (it seems this happens quite often), we paddled out about half a mile into the open sea and were able to see the grandeur of the Big Island of Hawaii, which was very moving.
However, we were confident in our physical strength and had some kayaking experience, so we were fine, but I heard that it was tough for those who were beginners.
英語は片言くらいしか話せないけれど、カヤックで洞窟探検というのにすごく惹かれて申し込みました。
やはり最初は説明の時の会話の早さに戸惑いはしましたが、スタッフのみなさんがすごく感じのいい方ばかりだったので、すぐに不安はなくなりました。
しかも洞窟探検自体は波が高くて出来ませんでしたが(そういうパターンけっこう多いらしいです)、その分1/2マイルほどの距離まで海原に漕ぎ出して、ハワイ島を見ることができ、その雄大さにとても感動しました。
ただ私たちは体力にも自信があったし、カヤックも経験ありなので平気でしたが、初めての方が大変だと言ってみえました。

Professional pilots and a well-coordinated organization combined to show us where the lava action was happening. We were safely strapped in and plugged into communications so we could get the most out of what we were seeing and trying to photograph. With an experienced pilot, everyone in the chopper got a good chance for the best views. The photography itself can be tricky; the higher quality pictures you try to take, the more you should have a good camera setup and practice from a vibrating platform. Overall: a rousing success.

So many things make this the best zip line on the big island including NINE zips, the last one a tandem AND over 1100 ft long but the absolute best part was the tour guides Kalei and Kalani. In fact, Kalani was our ATV tour guide 4 years ago when we were last there. They made this a very fun adventure and encouraged my hubby who was fearful of heights; even he loved it, after the first one! Truly amazing scenery and very fun, patient, and experienced guides. Safety was definitely a priority for them but made our adventure extra special. Thank you Kalei and Kalani!!!

I was worried about the bad weather since the day before, but somehow I made it to the summit. I was moved to see a white rainbow before the sun set. Although there were many clouds, I was able to catch a glimpse of the sunset. However, on the way down, there was a snowstorm! Is this really Hawaii?! The guides desperately searched for a spot to observe the starry sky, and we descended quite a bit, but we were able to see a beautiful starry sky.
Since this tour is heavily influenced by the weather, if you expect too much, you might feel a bit unsatisfied. Next time, I want to see the sunrise.
前日から天気が悪く心配しましたが、どうにか山頂まで到着。太陽が沈む前に白い虹を見ることができ感動。雲が多かったものの、どうにかサンセットを見ることができました。ただ、下山中吹雪!これがハワイ?!って感じで。ガイドさんたちが星空観測できる場所を必死で探してくれてだいぶ下まで降りてきましたが綺麗な星空を見ることができました。
天気に左右されるツアーだけにあまり期待しすぎると物足りないかもしれません。
今度はサンライズを見てみたいな。

I had visited for work before, but this time I came for a relaxing vacation.
During the two stops, I enjoyed snorkeling.
I saw whales, a pod of dolphins, sea turtles, and tropical fish in the distance... I had a great day.
For lunch, I had a hamburger.
Since there is no pickup, you have to make your own way to the meeting point, and everything is in English, so if you're okay with that, I think you'll have a wonderful day.

The garden had many varieties of plants. The zip rides were kind of short. There was also a suspension bridge we walked across. They need to add more and longer zip lines. The few seconds that we zipped across were hardly enough. The guides provided some fruit snacks from the trees as we walked between zip lines and talked about different trees. The water fall and the surrounding ranches with cows sleeping were a nice sight. Though those ranches do not belong to botanical gardens. Staff was very friendly and professional. I did not take Segway tour and chose instead to drive by myself to Hilo. Make sure to drive to Liliuokalani Park in Hilo when you are there. It was a very impressive Japanese garden design.

I participated with my husband. About eight years ago, I joined the same tour, and there was stargazing with telescopes, but that was not included this time, which disappointed my husband. I think it was due to the weather, but it would be disappointing for first-timers. The sunset was wonderful. However, it was extremely cold, so my previous experience was helpful. I think it's a good idea to bring Heattech or similar clothing.
主人と参加しました。八年前くらいに私は同じツアー二参加しましたが、望遠鏡による星空観測がありましたが、それが無くて主人はがっかりしていました。天候の関係化と思いますが、初めての人には残念だと思います。サンセットはすばらしかったです。ただものすごく寒かったので、前回の経験が役立ちました。ヒートテックなどを持っていくといいと思います。
Thank you for participating in the tour. On this day, the entire Big Island was covered in thick clouds, and we only had about ten minutes of sunset at the summit.
As for the stargazing, we couldn't see any stars at 3,600 meters. Normally, we would set up the telescope at this point, but there were no visible stars. We descended to the Onizuka Center, where we were able to see about 50% of the stars through a brief clearing. Additionally, we enjoyed stargazing at the junction on Saddle Road on our way back.
Unfortunately, due to the weather conditions, we were unable to set up the telescope. I sincerely apologize for this.
We hope you will join us again on your next visit to the Big Island. Thank you for your valuable feedback and comments.

この度はツアーご参加ありがとうございました。この日はハワイ島全体が厚い雲に覆われ、山頂での夕陽も10分程度でした。
その後の星空観賞ですが、まず3600メートルで星が見えず、いつもでしたらこの時点で望遠鏡を出しますが見える星がなく、オニズカセンターまで下山し、
少しの晴れ間で50%の星を見ることができました。また帰りながらサドルロードのジャンクションでの星の鑑賞をさせていただきました。
あいにくの天候での星空観賞でしたので望遠鏡がだせませんでした。大変申し訳ございませんでした。
またハワイ島にお越しの際はぜひツアーにご参加いただきますようよろしくお願い致します。

The content of other tours was terrible, so I arranged this tour on-site. It was a great decision to make such a bold change! I ended up repeating it during my stay.
The ocean around the Big Island is incredibly blue and beautiful, and I will never forget the excitement of discovering dolphins spinning on the surface!
This tour uses a small boat with a limited number of participants, allowing for greater maneuverability and dropping us off very close to the dolphins, making it easy to meet them. The boat is comfortable with minimal rocking, but since there is no shade on the boat, I recommend taking proper sun protection measures. Also, I tend to get cold easily, but even in December, the water temperature was around 26°C, and the spring (short-sleeved, short-pants wetsuit) was included for rent, so I was comfortable in the water.
To ensure everyone could swim with the dolphins, our guide Daisuke provided thorough explanations and instructions, making it a lot of fun. For those who are first-timers or not confident swimmers, they also lend flotation devices, and Daisuke guided everyone in turn to swim closer to the dolphins. Therefore, I believe anyone can participate with peace of mind.
Daisuke's guiding style felt very natural, and it was soothing to feel like we were sharing the ocean with the dolphins. When I made eye contact with a dolphin, it was such an emotional moment that it brought me to tears. I absolutely love the time spent floating in the sea, watching the dolphins!
I participated alone, but the atmosphere with the other guests was friendly, and it felt like everyone was connected through the dolphins, which made it very enjoyable. It was a delightful tour!
他のツアーの内容がひどくて、現地でこちらのツアーを手配しました。思い切った変更をして大正解でした!滞在中リピートさせて頂きました^^
ハワイ島の海はとても青くて美しく、イルカちゃんたちが海上をスピンしているのを発見したときの感動は忘れられません!
こちらのツアーは、少人数制の小さいボートなので、小回りも利いてイルカちゃんに一番近いところからドロップでき、楽々イルカちゃんに会うことができました。
揺れも少なく快適なボートですが、ボートに日よけがないため、日焼け対策をしっかりされることをおすすめします。また、わたしはとても寒がりなのですが、12月でも26℃くらい水温があり、スプリング(ウエットスーツの半そで半ズボンタイプ)もレンタルにセットされているので、海の中では快適でした。
イルカちゃんとたくさん泳げるように、ガイドのDaisukeさんが丁寧に説明や指導してくれて、とても楽しめました。初めての方や泳ぎに自信がない方には浮き具も貸してくれて、参加者全員がイルカちゃんとより近くで泳げるように、Daisukeさんが順番に誘導してくれたりもしました。ですので、どんな方でも安心して参加できると思います。
Daisukeさんのガイドの仕方がとても自然で、イルカちゃんと一緒に海を共有している感じがして、とても癒されました。
イルカちゃんと目が合ったときは、涙が出るほどの感動の瞬間でした。ぷかぷか海に浮いて、イルカちゃんたちを眺めている時間がわたしは最高に好きです!
わたしは一人参加でしたが、他のお客さんとも和気あいあいな雰囲気で、みんながイルカちゃんを通してつながっている感があって、とても楽しかったです。気持ちの良いツアーでした^^

Mauna Kea has been called the world's observatory. Nowadays, there are others, like the Hubble Space Telescope floating in space and those in Chile, South America. While in Japan, I knew there were many constellations from star charts, but I couldn't actually see them. When I went to the mountain and darkness fell, the first constellation I saw was Cassiopeia, with five stars visible at a very low position. That's right! This is Hawaii, around 20 degrees north latitude, so the circumpolar stars appear very low. The North Star is also at a height of 20 degrees, while where I live is at 35 degrees north latitude, so it appears at a height of 35 degrees. The Milky Way was clearly visible, and I was once again moved by how many stars there were. The Swan constellation was also clearly visible with the guide's explanation. On the way back in the car, looking east, I saw Orion about to rise from the mountain. The three stars in the middle were vertical to the mountain range. It is known that the three stars of Orion are at a 90-degree angle to the horizon when they rise and set, but this time, participating in this tour, I was able to confirm it for the first time. It was very cold, but there was a service for warm drinks, which was comforting.
マウナケア山は世界の天文台と呼ばれてきた。今ではその他、南米のチリや宇宙に浮いているハッブル望遠鏡もある。日本にいるときは星座早見盤では星座がたくさんあることは知っていたが、実際には見ることができなかった。山に行き、暗闇が訪れ、まず最初に見えたのが、カシオペア座、とても低い位置に5つの星が見えた。そうだ!ここはハワイ、北緯20度ぐらいだから周極性もとても低く見える。北極星も20度の高さ、わたしが住んでいるところは北緯35度だから35度高さに見える。銀河もくっきり見え、あらためて、こんなにも星があったんだ、と感動した。ハクチョウ座もガイドの説明で、きっちり見えた。帰りの車の中で、東の方向をみると、オリオン座が山から今にも登ろうとしていた。真ん中の三つ星が山並みと垂直になっていた。オリオン座の三つ星は、登るときと、沈む時には地平線と90度になることで知られていたが、今回、このツアーに参加して初めて、確認することができた。とても寒かったが、温かい飲み物のサービスがあり、ほっとさせられた。

I had a great time last time, so I'm repeating my visit. During my last trip, I participated in the morning session and enjoyed two snorkeling sessions with lunch in between. The underwater scenery was beautiful, filled with colorful fish, and I lost track of time until I was called back for the end (^O^).
This time, I wasn't sure if my two-year-old grandchild would enjoy it, so I opted for the shorter afternoon snorkeling session. However, it seems they had a lot of fun peering into the water with a mat that had a viewing window! I would love to participate again next time. During the cruise, we were able to see dolphins and flying fish!

Our guide, Daisuke, who loves dolphins, gave us precise instructions and led us to each location. When we arrived, Daisuke took our hands and swam with us at an incredible speed alongside the dolphins. Thanks to him, we were able to swim surrounded by dolphins and even met bottlenose dolphins and manta rays. Daisuke and Captain Ken truly valued the experience of the participants, which might only happen once in a lifetime. We were able to have the experience of swimming together with the dolphins instead of chasing them. I want to participate in this tour again!

Among the many dolphin tours available, I felt that this one had the best chance of seeing dolphins based on the reviews, so I decided to participate.
I had read about Daisuke's personality in the reviews and heard about it from other tour guides, but his love and passion for dolphins exceeded my expectations, making him a reliable presence throughout the tour.
Thanks to the captain's hard work in searching, we were able to see many dolphins, and I was truly lucky to encounter rare bottlenose dolphins and manta rays on that day! Thank you, Daisuke and the captain!!
I'm not a very good swimmer, so I couldn't see them up close, but I was still incredibly moved, to the point where I didn't want to blink. When Daisuke pulled me along at one point, I was able to see them up close, and it was super emotional. If you're not confident in your swimming, I highly recommend having him pull you along.
With Daisuke, who chases after dolphins more than anyone else and strives to see them as many times as possible, I believe this tour offers more opportunities to encounter dolphins than any other tour!

The tour was well-structured, with warm drinks when it got cold and cookies when we felt a bit hungry—services that really hit the spot. The only downside was that the cold weather gear could have been a bit cleaner; I wish they had washed it beforehand.
Despite the forecast predicting "90% chance of rain" that evening, we were lucky as the clouds cleared up in the afternoon. By the time we left the hotel, it was said to be "probably okay," and along the way, we saw a rainbow near a mountain, a herd of wild sheep at the foot of the mountain, a sea of clouds, the peak of Mauna Loa peeking through the clouds, a beautiful sunset, and a sky full of stars, even enjoying the red glow of Kilauea volcano.
All the tour participants were wonderful, and we had a great time together. This is a well-planned, highly recommended tour!!!
夫婦で参加しましたが、最高でした。まず、ガイドの今野さんがよかった。定員一杯の13名参加でしたが、移動途中の説明や、写真撮影のスポットやポーズ、トイレのタイミングまで、一人ひとりを気遣ってくれて、全員VIP気分になれたと思いますよ。
ツアーの構成も、寒くなったら暖かいお飲み物、小腹が空いたらクッキーと痒い所に手が届くサービスでした。
ただ一つ、防寒具がちょ~っと…、洗濯しておいて欲しかったけど…
その日は「夜は90%雨」の予報だったのに、ラッキーなことに午後からどんどん雲が流れ去って行き、ホテル出発するころには「たぶん大丈夫でしょう」とのことで、道中すぐ近くの山には虹、山麓に野生の羊さんの群れ、一面に広がる雲海、雲海から顔を覗かせるマウナロアの頂、夕焼け、そして一面の星空、そしてキラウエア火山の赤い光までも楽しむことができました。
ツアー参加者全員とても素敵なメンバーで、仲良く楽しく過ごせました。
上手にプランされた、お勧めのツアーですっ!!!

In my childhood, I often looked at the stars. It was during the times when I would get scolded by my father for being mischievous. The guides who showed us around this time had a wealth of knowledge about the stars, which was wonderful. When they asked about the participants' constellations and pointed them out, I thought, "That's clever." Thank you, Yamachan. I'm already getting older. I'm okay with becoming a star anytime, but before that, I want to go on my third star observation tour. It was a day full of charm.
少年時代は☆を良く見たものだ。それは、いたずらして父親から殴られての“☆☆”だった。
今回案内してくれた方々は、よく☆の知識が豊富でとても良かった。参加者の星座を聞きそれを指してくれるところは「ニックイね。」山ちゃんありがとう。私はもう歳です。いつ☆になってもいいですが、その前に3回目の☆観測ツアーに行きたい。そんな魅力のある日でした。
Dear Mr. Shimokawahara,
Thank you for participating in the tour this time. We also appreciate your kind comments. Our guide, Yamamoto, was born in Osaka and truly loves making people laugh. He is knowledgeable and has extensive experience, always striving to provide better tours.
Please take care of yourself and feel free to visit the Big Island three or four times.
Thank you very much.

I would highly recommend participating in this activity. The water was crystal clear, there were all sorts of different types of fish and we even saw dolphins. The ship crew was fantastic and made the trip all the better! If you only do one thing while on the Big Island, do this!!!
