ホエールウォッチングクルーズ <12~3月/午前/軽食付き/ワイコロアまたはカワイハエ港発>

Hawaii Island Whale Watching Cruise ハワイ島 ホエールウォッチングクルーズ

Reviewed by: キャラ

I participated on December 9.
It might be a bit early for whale watching, as they appeared briefly in the distance, disappeared when we approached by boat, and then reappeared again when we moved away.
Since it was the beginning of the season, I wondered if the captain wasn't familiar with the points, so I thought a bit more patience was needed.
Unfortunately, I couldn't understand much since no Japanese was spoken, making it a disappointing tour.

12月9日に参加致しました。
まだクジラウォッチングには時期が早いのか
遠方にちらっと現れ、船で近付くといなくなり、
離れると、また遠方に現れる の連続でした。
シーズン初めで船長がポイント慣れしていないのか
もう少し、我慢が必要かなと思いましたね。
日本語は全く通じないので説明含めほとんど理解できず
残念なツアーになりました。

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>

Absolutely recommended. 絶対おすすめ

Reviewed by: cheki

This time, we participated with two families (four adults and three children aged ten). It was less than a 30-minute drive from our accommodation in Waikoloa to Honokohau Marina, and we were blessed with clear skies on the day of our trip. We sped to the snorkeling point in about an hour, encountering a large pod of dolphins along the way. To our surprise, we also saw three whales up close, which got the kids really excited. We were told that such encounters at this distance are quite rare. It was incredibly impressive. The snorkeling was filled with beautiful fish. The lunch on the boat was exceptional as well. The kids said they want to go again next time. While it's a fun tour for adults, I believe it's a must-do adventure for families.

今回は、2家族(大人4人・子供10歳3人)で参加しました。宿泊先のワイコロアからホノコハウマリーナ迄30分弱と近く、当日は雲一つない晴天に恵まれスピード感満点のボートでシュノーケルポイント迄約1時間。途中イルカの大群。さらには何と3頭のクジラをまじかで見れました。これには子供たちも大興奮。なかなかこの距離で遭遇出来ないとの説明。凄い迫力でした。シュノーケルも綺麗なお魚達が沢山。ボート上でのランチも格別。子供たちから、次回も又行きたいと言われました。大人だけでも楽しいツアーですが、家族ずれにはマストなアドベンチャーだと思います。

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

Impressed by the starry sky. 星空に感激

Reviewed by: 大阪のぼくちゃん

When I reached the summit of Mauna Kea, a sea of clouds spread out before me, creating a magnificent view. However, there were more clouds above, and I couldn't see the sunset. As the night sky darkened, I was disappointed because I had hoped to see a sky full of stars. But thanks to changing locations and being persistent, the clouds gradually cleared, and I was thrilled to see a sky full of stars! Next time, I will join a stargazing and sunrise tour.

マウナケア山頂に着くと雲海が一面に広がって雄大な景色。しかしその上にもさらに雲が広がりサンセットが見えなかった。暗くなった夜空にも雲がかかり、満天の星を期待していたので『ががっかり』と思っていたが、場所を変えて粘って頂いたおかげで、徐々に雲が取れて行き満天の星を見られて感激!次は星空+サンライズツアーに参加するぞ。

野生のマンタ シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>

I experienced night snorkeling for the first time. ナイトシュノーケリングを初めて体験しました

Reviewed by: eli

I experienced night snorkeling for the first time. It was quite dark and the waves were strong, which was a bit scary, but I felt safe holding onto the bar and floating. Seeing a manta ray up close was also a little frightening, but it was moving. The swimming time was just right, and even though it was December, once I got into the water, it wasn't cold. However, it was cold after getting out, so a bath towel is essential. When I participated, the waves were strong, and I took motion sickness medication, but I still got seasick, so I recommend being fully prepared.

ナイトシュノーケリングを初めて体験しました。
真っ暗で波も強くて少し怖かったですが、バーに捕まって浮いていられるので安心でした。間近でマンタを見れたのも少し怖かったですが、感動的でした。
遊泳時間もほどよく、12月でしたが一度海の中に入ってしまえば寒くありませんでした。上がったあとは寒いのでバスタオルは必須です。また私が参加したときは波が強く、酔い止めを飲みましたがやはり船酔いしてしまったので、準備万端で臨むことをおすすめします。

Unfortunately, during this tour, there was a lot of gas at the summit of Mauna Kea, and we could only see Venus. However, our guide searched for a spot on the way back where we could see stars, and we were able to hear a bit about the stars.

Since it was close to a new moon, I was looking forward to using my DSLR and tripod, but this also turned out to be a good memory.

I plan to come back for a revenge tour.

The quality of the trip depends on the guide.

Thanks to the guide here, I really made some wonderful memories.

今回のツアーでは残念ながらマウナケア山頂ではガスが多く金星しか見れなかったですが、ガイドの方が帰路途中で星が見えてる場所を探して星のガイドを少しですが聞けました。
新月に近かったので一眼と三脚持参で楽しみにしてたのですが、これもこれで良い思い出になりました。

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. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: ハワイ大好き

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。

ケアウホウ湾 シーカヤック&シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>by オーシャンサファリ・カヤック

A tour that allowed us to experience the magnificent Big Island of Hawaii. 雄大なハワイ島を感じられたツアー

Reviewed by: suzu

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。

Paradise Helicopters - Volcano, Lava & Waterfalls Flight from Hilo

Lava Chasing from the Air

Reviewed by: The Shepherds

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.

THE BEST ZIPLINE EVENT ON THE BIG ISLAND

Reviewed by: Kathy

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!!!

The Milky Way was beautiful! 天の川が綺麗でした!

Reviewed by: iso

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。

Hilo 8-Line Zipline & Suspension Bridge Rainforest Adventure with Free Photos

Zipe lining

Reviewed by: newbie to scuba

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.

Mauna Kea Sunset and Stargazing Tour マウナケアサンセットと星空ツアー

Reviewed by: 水泳大好き

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。

Reply from activity provider

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.

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。

プライベートチャーター ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング+イルカウォッチングツアー!GoProレンタルあり<午前/日本語ガイド>

It was an emotional experience! 感動の体験でした!

Reviewed by: mar_azul

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。

This is a repeat visit following last May.
The live performance by the cool brothers and the MC who skillfully entertains with humor is fantastic.
The dancers perform elegantly, passionately, and with dazzling intensity.
It’s so amazing that time flies by in an instant.
I will definitely come to see it again.

昨年5月に続いてのリピートです。
渋いお兄さんたちの生演奏に、話術巧みに笑いで沸かせるMCさん。
そして優雅に、激しく、きらびやかに、情熱的に踊るダンサー。
あまりにすごくて時間が経つのがあっと言う間。
絶対にまた見に来ます。

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

This is my favorite spot! お気に入りのスポットです♪

Reviewed by: MARIKO

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!

前回行って良かったのでリピートです。前回は午前の参加でランチをはさんで
2回のスノーケルを満喫しました。海の中はとても綺麗で、綺麗な魚がいっぱいで時間を忘れて終了時間に呼び戻されました(^O^)
今回は2歳の孫が楽しめるかどうか分からなかったので、スノーケル時間の短い午後の参加でしたが、覗き窓付きのマットを借りて海中を覗いてとっても楽しかったようです♪また、次回も参加したいと思っています。
クルーズではイルカやトビウオが見れました♪

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ(キングカメハメハホテル内)<ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

It was a traditional show. 伝統あるショーでした

Reviewed by: mai

It would have been nice if it was something you could enjoy just by looking at it, but it was really presented like a traditional play, so I didn't understand it well without any explanations in Japanese. However, before the show, they taught hula dancing in the square and did some painting, which was enjoyable, so that was good.

目だけで見て楽しめる感じだったら良かったのですが、本当伝統を劇みたいな感じでみせてくれるものだったので、日本語で説明もなくよくわからなかったです。でもショーの前にも広場でフラダンスを教えてくれたりとか、ペイントしてくれたりとか楽しませてくれたので、それは良かったです。

I participated with my husband. I'm really glad we chose this tour among the many dolphin tours available. Since it was a small group, we quickly bonded and were able to move around easily. 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!

夫と2人で参加しました。数あるイルカツアーの中でもこのツアーに参加してよかったです。
少人数制なのですぐに皆打ち解け仲良くなり機敏に動けたし、イルカちゃん大好きなガイドのダイスケさんが的確な指示で各ロケーションに誘導してくれ、ロケーションに到着するとダイスケさんが私達の手を引いて凄いスピードでイルカと共に泳いでくれました。
そのお陰でイルカちゃんに囲まれて泳ぐ事もできたし、ハンドウイルカちゃんやマンタちゃんにまで会う事ができました。
ダイスケさんとキャプテンケンさんは、一生に一度しかないかもしれない参加者の体験をとても大切に考えてくださいました。
イルカちゃんを追い詰めるのではなく、一緒に海の中で泳ぐという体験ができました。
また、このツアーに参加したいですっ!

This is my second time participating, and I encountered dolphins on the way. The water clarity in the bay was excellent, and I had a fantastic time. The hamburgers cooked on the boat were also delicious.

2度目の参加ですが行く途中にイルカに遭遇しました
湾内の透明度も抜群で最高に楽しめました
