First Whale 初めての鯨

Reviewed by: ＭＡＯ　ＰＡＰＡ

This time, I participated with my daughter. My wife passed this time because she gets seasick. We were handed a video camera and set sail.

As soon as we left the dock, we were welcomed by dolphins. My daughter was completely captivated. I felt the pressure to capture the moment on video, and I struggled greatly.

After a while, there was an announcement in English about spotting a spout (probably). No matter how hard I looked, I couldn't see it. My daughter seemed to find it and was overjoyed. Finally, I spotted it too, but as for the video and camera...

After that, we were able to see several spouts and even some jumps.

Upon returning to the port, I reported to my wife that we saw whales. As for the quality of the video and camera...

今回娘と二人で参加。
妻は、船酔いがするので今回はパス。
ビデオとカメラを渡され出港。

桟橋を外れすぐにいるかのお出迎え。
娘は、首ったけ。
ビデオをとらなくては、プレッシャーに弱いＰＡＰＡ大苦戦。

しばらくして潮吹を発見したとの英語のアナウンス（多分）。
目を皿にしても見えない。
娘は見つけたようで大喜び。
ようやくＰＡＰＡも発見するもビデオ・カメラは、、、。

その後数回にわたり潮吹きそしてジャンプも見られました。

帰港して妻に鯨見れたとの報告。
ビデオ・カメラの出来は、、、。

I was moved. 感動しました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I boarded the ship on the morning of New Year's Day in 2010. I tried not to get my hopes up too much, knowing that it wasn't guaranteed to see them, so I was really happy when I did. We moved the ship to several spots, turned off the engine, and waited for the whales to appear, and I was able to see them multiple times. The tense, expectant atmosphere while waiting for the whales, the surprise and excitement when they finally appeared—it was thrilling. It seems that this year, the whales showed up earlier than usual, so I was very lucky.

2010年の元日の午前中に乗船しました。必ず見ることができるわけではない、と期待しすぎないようにしていたので、見ることができてすごくうれしかったです。何箇所か船を移動してはエンジンを切ってクジラが現れるのを待ち、何度も見ることができました。クジラを待つ間のしんとした期待のこもった空気、現れたときの驚き、感激。興奮しますよ。今年はクジラが現れのが早かったらしく、とてもラッキーだったそうです。

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 fun! 楽しかったです♪

Reviewed by: akky

This was the only optional tour I booked during my first trip to the Big Island of Hawaii. Our guide, Shinya, really energized everyone on the bus, making it enjoyable and keeping us engaged. I was a bit worried about altitude sickness, but I managed to get through it without feeling too unwell.

The weather was surprisingly good for this time of year, and the temperature wasn't too low, allowing for great observations.

Recommendations:
- Dress warmly. They do provide outerwear, but it can still get cold after a long time, so it's best to go fully prepared, including a hat.
- Don't forget to bring water and some sweet snacks like chocolate. While water is provided, I think it's a good idea to bring your own as well.

I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

初めてのハワイ島旅行で、唯一申し込んだオプショナルツアーでした。
ガイドの「しんやさん」が、バスの中の皆を盛り上げてくれて、飽きずに楽しむことができました。高山病の配慮もしてくれて、ちょっと心配していたのですがそれ程不調にならずに過ごせました。
この時期にしては！？天気も良くて気温もそれ程低くなくいい状態での観測ができました。

おススメ
？暖かい格好をしていく事
　※上下防寒具は貸していただけますが、やっぱり長時間は寒いですので帽子も含めて完全防備で行ったほうがいいです。
？水分とチョコレートなどの甘いものの持参を忘れずに。
　※水はついていますが、持参していくといいと思います。

また機会があったら参加したいです。

An emotional experience! 感動体験！

Reviewed by: たかる

This was my first visit to the Big Island for our honeymoon. My husband, who usually doesn't have many requests for trips, had one wish: he wanted to visit the mountain with the observatory if we were going to Hawaii! To fulfill that wish, I booked the Mauna Kea summit tour with Masashi.

As a result, my husband was extremely satisfied! Although he usually doesn't talk much, on the way back, he was sitting next to the guide and chatting away, which made me happy to see how much he enjoyed it. I believe this was all thanks to the guide, who took great care of the participants' health and provided warm clothing. Thank you very much!!!

The sunset at the summit and the stargazing a little further down were perfect for honeymooners, creating a wonderful atmosphere.

I had done my homework by reading experience reports (I wore Heattech and brought a fleece and scarf), so we were able to fully enjoy both activities. If you want to make the most of this tour, it's best to dress appropriately.

Dinner was around 4:30 PM, and we returned to the hotel around 9:30 to 10 PM, so I recommend preparing a light snack the day before.

Stargazing can vary depending on the season, time, and moon phase, so this is a tour I would love to visit again multiple times. Thank you!

ハネムーンで初めてのハワイ島訪問でした。
旅行に関してあまりリクエストのない夫でしたが、ハワイ島に行くなら天文台のある山に行きたい！という唯一の願いを叶えるため、マサシのマウナケア山頂ツアーに申し込みました。
結果、夫は大満足！
普段口数は少ないのに、帰りのバスではガイドさんの隣席でいろいろ話を聞いたりして、よっぽど楽しかったんだとこちらまで嬉しくなりました。
それも全て、参加者へのきっちりした体調管理や温かい防寒着を貸してくださったガイドさんのおかげだと思います。
ありがとうございました！！！
山頂での夕日、そして少し下へ降りての星空観測はムード満点でハネムーナーにもぴったりでした♪

体験談を読んだりして事前準備（ヒートテックを着込み、フリースとマフラーを持って行きました）をしっかりしていたので、どちらもたっぷり時間をかけて楽しめました。このツアーを堪能したい方は、万全の恰好で行ったほうがいいですよ。

晩ご飯のお弁当が４時半ごろ、ホテルに帰るのが９時半から１０時ごろとなるので、ちょっとした夜食を前日に用意しておくこともお勧めします。

星空観測は季節や時間、月齢などで見え方が変わるので、また何度も訪れたいと思うツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

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＞

It's a bit cold, but... 少し寒いですが・・

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

My first experience in the night sea was, as everyone has mentioned, mainly concerned with the cold. I prepared a rash guard and entered the water. At first, I only saw manta rays passing by two or three times, but in the end, a manta ray flipped in front of me multiple times, which was very satisfying. However, the cold can be quite challenging, so be prepared!

夜の海は初体験で、皆さんが書き込んでいる通り寒さだけが気がかりでした。ラッシュガードを用意して海に入りました。最初は２~３回マンタが通り過ぎるだけでしたが、最後には目の前をマンタが何回も宙返りをしてとても満足です。ただ、寒さは結構応えますので覚悟の上で！

The boat was going at an incredible speed, and I was desperately hanging on! As expected, I had muscle soreness the next day (laughs). But it was really fun!

I got to see the lava cliffs up close, and the impact was overwhelming! I don't think we could have gotten that close with a larger boat.

The diving spot had calm waves, and I was able to enjoy the corals and cute tropical fish. I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I could dive deeper. However, they gave us plenty of time, and I was able to enjoy it to the fullest.

The fruit on the way back was delicious! I was also thrilled to encounter pods of dolphins and whales both going and coming back! It was my first experience seeing the shadow of a dolphin passing under the boat. I had heard about it, but wild dolphins are really friendly. It's an emotion you can't experience with regular sightseeing.

I couldn't understand most of the explanations since I don't speak English, but even with that, it was still fun.

ボートはすごいスピードで、しがみつくのに必死！
案の定、翌日は筋肉痛になってました（笑）
でも本当におもしろかった！

溶岩の断崖絶壁をすぐ近くで見られたので、迫力が半端ない！
大きな船だったら、あんな近くまで行けなかったと思います。

ダイビングスポットは波が静かで、サンゴやかわいい熱帯魚？を楽しむことができました。
深く潜れたらもっと楽しめただろうな、と思います。
でも、時間もたっぷりとってくれて、思う存分楽しめました。

帰りのフルーツもおいしかったー♪
行きも帰りも、イルカやクジラの群れに出会えたのも感激！
ボートの下をイルカの影が通って行くのは初めての経験でした。
話には聞いていましたが、野生のイルカでも本当にひとなつっこいんですね。
普通の観光では味わえない感動です。

Whale watching ホエールウオッチング

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Around 7 AM, I left the Hilton Waikoloa Village and followed the map, arriving almost on time without getting lost.

I was a bit anxious since the instructions were only in English, but I was relieved to receive a Japanese instruction manual as well. Shortly after leaving the harbor, we encountered a pod of dolphins. I was thrilled as it was my first time seeing them. Later, we also encountered a pod of whales, and the sight of a whale spouting water is so vivid in my memory that it remains etched in my mind even after returning home.

While heading to the diving spot, we encountered pods multiple times while viewing the lava cliffs. There were few opportunities for photos, but I managed to capture some great shots of the whales and dolphins. The timing for diving was appropriate. The fish weren't as colorful as I expected, but I enjoyed it enough. The boat ride was thrilling; it was tiring for someone in their 60s like me, but it was fun. Additionally, the lava cliffs that can't be seen from land were impressive.

When boarding the boat, I didn't wear a life jacket, so I think it's safer to always wear one while on board.

朝７時ごろ、ワイコロアのヒルトン・キングスランドを出て、案内図通りに向かうとほぼ迷わずに時間通り到着した。

英語のみの説明だったので若干不安だったが、日本語の説明書もいただいたのでよかった。
港を出て間もなくイルカの群れに遭遇した。
初めて見たので感激した。
その後クジラの群れにも遭遇し、クジラが潮を吹くさまが帰国後の脳裏に焼き付いているくらい印象的だった。

溶岩の岸壁を見ながらダイビングスポットまで進む途中、何度も群れに遭遇。
シャッターチャンスは少なかったが、いいクジラやイルカの写真が撮れた。
ダイビングの時間の取り方も適切であった。
魚は思ったほどカラフルではなかったが、十分楽しめた。
ボートはスリル満点で、６０代の自分にとっては疲れたが楽しかった。
また、陸からは見られない溶岩の絶壁は迫力があった。

ボートに乗るときは救命道具をつけなかったので、救命道具は乗船中は常に身に着けていたほうが安心だと思う。

Road closed!! ロードクローズ!!

Reviewed by: MIDORI

I participated in the tour on December 20th. That morning, an incredible thunderstorm suddenly appeared on the Big Island, bringing hail and knocking down trees, making it a very rare weather day.

Unfortunately, due to the storm, we experienced a phenomenon where 30 cm of snow fell in just 30 minutes, which led to road closures, preventing us from reaching the summit. However, thanks to our guide Shinya's entertaining Yoshimoto-style talk, we were able to enjoy the tour in the vehicle without a moment of silence and had a great time!

Of course, we also made sure to observe the starry sky from a high point on the mountain, where Shinya provided fascinating explanations of the countless stars.

Since we couldn't see a moonbow this time, I hope to challenge myself to spot one during my next visit to the Big Island, aiming for a full moon.

Shinya, please continue to provide fun tours with your Yoshimoto-style talks. I look forward to seeing beautiful photos as well!

12月20日のツアーに参加させていただきました。当日午前中は凄まじいサンダーストームが突如ハワイ島に出現し、ヒョウが降ったり、木がなぎ倒されたりで、大変珍しい気象の日でありました。

残念ながらそのストームにより30分で30cmもの雪が降る、という現象が発生し、ロードクローズとなってしまったため山頂まで行くことはできませんでしたが、ガイドのしんやさんの吉本トークでツアー車中に笑いが途切れることはなく大変楽しく過ごさせていただくことができました！
もちろん、目的の星空観測もできるだけ山の高い位置で、としっかり配慮していただいて満天の星を面白く解説していただけました。

今回はムーンボーは見ることができませんでしたから、次回ハワイ島を訪れる機会があったら満月の狙ってムーンボー確認に挑戦したいと思っています。

しんやさん、これからも吉本トークで楽しいツアーを続けてください。きれいな写真にも期待しています。

The guide and the boat driver were both native speakers and could not speak any Japanese. There were no Japanese participants, but if you have a basic level of English for simple everyday conversations, you can enjoy the experience without any issues.

However, I feel a bit disappointed that if the guide could speak a little more Japanese, we could have enjoyed it even more.

ガイドもボートのドライバもネイティブの方で日本語は全くできません。参加者にも日本人はいませんでしたが、簡単な日常会話が可能な程度の英語レベルであれば無理なく楽しめます。

Wild whales are the best! 野生のクジラ最高ｗ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was honestly worried about whether I would be able to see them in the wild, but I was able to see them up close, even more than I imagined, and it was incredibly moving.

I don't think I could ever see wild whales that close in my everyday life.

It was a very precious experience.

Although we were supposed to see whales, I was lucky to also spot dolphins.

The food on the boat was only mentioned as snacks and drinks in advance, but there were quite stylish light meals and drinks, and I was satisfied with the service.

It might be a good idea to check the meeting point and hotel location in advance. Depending on the situation, a shuttle service might be cheaper. We were far from the hotel and took a taxi, which ended up costing quite a bit...

That's the only regret I have.

However, I think the experience was so amazing that it overshadowed that, so I have no regrets.

I would definitely like to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

野生なので見れるかどうか、正直不安でしたが、想像以上に間近で見ることが出来て、凄く感動しました。

普段、見ることは全くない、野生のクジラをあんな間近で
見ることは出来ないと思います。

非常に貴重な体験でした。

クジラと言いつつ、ちゃっかり、イルカも見れてラッキーでした。

船内の食事も、スナックとドリンクとしか事前に書いて無かったのですが、結構お洒落な感じの軽食とドリンクがあって
サービス面でも満足しました。

集合場所とホテルの場所は事前にチェックしておいた方が良いかもです。場合によっては、送迎ありのほうが安くなる場合もあります。
自分らは、ホテルから遠く、タクシーで行ったのですが、相当な料金が掛かってしまいました。。。

それだけが悔やまれます。

が、そんな事も吹き飛ぶくらいの体験が出来たと思いますので後悔はないです。

また、ハワイに行った時には、ぜひ参加したいですね。

The rubber boat was smaller than I expected, but it was surprisingly fast! The seat on the rubber boat was hard (as expected), and I bounced around due to the momentum, desperately clinging to the rope. It was so much fun!! The muscle pain in my arms and shoulders the next day is also a good memory♪

Before we even left the bay, we encountered a pod of dolphins! They came so close, and I could see their shadows passing under the boat!! After that, we met several more pods of dolphins along the way and even saw them jumping*＾＾* The whales were small enough that I thought they were dolphins, but I was thrilled to see them spouting water and their tails!

At the snorkeling point, the water was incredibly clear, and I saw many fish like the yellow striped ones you see in aquariums, black fish with white spots, and schools of big and small fish. It felt like I was swimming in an aquarium. (In reality, I was just floating!)

The lava cliffs were also breathtaking! It was so much fun!

ゴムボートは思ったより小さくて、思った以上にすごいスピードでした！
座っていたゴムボートが硬かったので（当たり前）、勢いでボンボンはねてしまい、必死でロープにしがみついてました。すごく楽しかった！！

I saw a sunset from an elevation much higher than Mount Fuji, and such a beautiful starry sky for the first time in my life! I was extremely satisfied.

The sky was clear with no moon, allowing me to fully enjoy the wonderful transition from dusk to night. I was worried about the cold, but the wind at the summit was unusually weak that day. My hands and feet got cold, but thanks to my warm clothing, I was able to endure being outside for a long time.

Our guide, Shinya, was knowledgeable about stars and the Big Island of Hawaii, and he shared many fascinating stories. I definitely want to go on the same tour again someday to see the amazing sky views.

Reviewed by: K.S

I was worried about getting seasick since I easily get motion sickness, but I took some medication, so I was fine. I think I would have definitely gotten seasick without it, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who are concerned.

My family went into the sea at the bay where we did snorkeling, but I waited alone on the boat. However, I was able to enjoy just looking at the beautiful sea and sky, as well as the fish swimming near the boat. I was also able to read the guides written in Japanese at that time, so I somewhat understood the points we visited later on.

But I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I understood English. It was disappointing that I couldn't grasp even 10% of what the guide was saying. It would be very helpful if there were tours designed for Japanese people like me, who can't speak any English, that would allow us to enjoy it 120%.

The small boat goes at an incredible speed, getting very close to the lava cliffs, which is quite thrilling. Along the way, we encountered pods of dolphins and small whales multiple times, which was very moving. To see wild dolphins and whales so close is truly amazing; Hawaii is a wonderful place. I really hope they continue to preserve this nature.

私は酔いやすいのでそれが心配でしたが、酔い止めの薬を飲んだので大丈夫でした。薬を飲んでいないときっと船酔いしたと思うので、ご心配な方は酔い止めを飲むことをおすすめします。
シュノーケリングをする湾で家族は海に入りましたが、私はボートの上でひとりで待っていました。でも、きれいな海と空と、ボート近くを泳いでいる魚を見るだけでも楽しめます。日本語でかかれた案内もこの時に読めたので、後半まわったポイントもなんとなく分かりました。
でも英語がわかったらもっともっと楽しめたと思います。ガイドさんがおっしゃっているお話の、1割も分からなかったのが残念でした。
このようなツアーで、私のような英語が全く出来ない人間でも120％楽しめるような日本人向けのものがあると、とても助かります。

小さいボートで、すごいスピードで溶岩の岸壁のすぐ近くまで行くので、迫力は満点です。
途中で何度も、イルカの群れや、小さいクジラの群れとも出会い、とても感動しました。

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＞

If you have the courage, changing plans is also an option. 勇気があれば、予定変更もアリ

Reviewed by: emi

I'm glad I participated and can recommend it. It was truly a wonderful experience to see manta rays while snorkeling with such a high probability. The guide mentioned that this is the only place in the world where you can see manta rays while snorkeling. It's a tour I want everyone to join. However, there are some downsides. Communication is only in English. It can be cold. There’s no pickup to the meeting place, and it's a bit nerve-wracking to confirm by phone. If you can't communicate in the language, it might be quite scary. But as long as you have courage, you'll be fine. You can refer to others' experiences for guidance. To deal with the cold, bring warm clothing and put it on right after getting out of the water. Since there’s no pickup to the meeting place, renting a car or staying in the Kona area or at the Sheraton is convenient. The confirmation call is only in English, but it's definitely necessary. My reservation was canceled, and I ended up participating the next day. Many Japanese people don't stay long on the Big Island, so if you miss it, it would be sad, so it's better to have a little extra time.

参加して良かった、お勧めできます。マンタがあのようにシュノーケルで高確率で見れるなんて、本当に素晴らしい体験です。世界でもシュノーケルでマンタが見れるのはここだけとガイドも話していました。皆様に参加して欲しいツアーです。しかし、難点もアリ。英語以外通じない。寒い。集合場所への送迎、再確認のＴＥＬ。海、夜、と不安なので語学が通じないと結構恐いかも？しかし、勇気さえあれば大丈夫。皆様の体験談を参考にすれば問題なし。寒さは防寒着を持参し海から上がってすぐ着用。集合場所まで送迎ないから、レンタカーかコナエリア、シャラトンなどに宿泊が便利。再確認のＴＥＬは英語のみだけど必ず必要。私は、予約日はキャンセルになり、次の日参加になりました。日本人はハワイ島にそう長く滞在しないパターンが多いので、見れなかったら悲しいので、余裕を少しでも持ったほうがいいです。

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Excellent Experience

Reviewed by: Sylvia

The tour was excellent and the guide had a lot of passion for what he does, so it was kind of contagious. He told us a lot of interesting stories making the trip very entertain. Dinner was very good and they provide us with coats and globes which we really needed. Then we had a second stop to explain to us about the telescopes and what is being measured. Finally we arrived at the top. I must admit I got very sick, but the guide had warned us that it could happen and recommended to sit on the floor. That is exactly what I did. I didn’t like the feeling at all, but I saw the most beautiful sunset that I have ever seen so it was worth the bad 5 minutes feeling LOL but I wouldn’t recommend it to people with heart problems. After the breath taking view we went down and watch the starts through a telescope. The guide explained a lot of things I didn’t know. I am not very knowledgeable about astronomy but I really learned a lot and enjoy the time. I will definitely recommend it as a must see

At the meeting point under the green tent at Kailua Pier, there was a suspicious-looking man. When I showed him the reservation ticket, he shook his head and said "No," which made me anxious. However, he took me to the nearby information desk that wasn't open yet, and the staff there called the tour company to let them know there were three Japanese people. This suspicious-looking man turned out to be nice; he asked if we were wearing swimsuits and if we had applied sunscreen, and when the boat arrived, he even guided us. Thank you, kind man.

Like the other participants, we were the only Japanese people there, but the boat operator, Mr. Duel, was a very friendly nice guy (probably the same person as Atsushi from last time?). He mentioned that he went to Tokyo and Kyoto last month and talked about appearing on TV Asahi's "Q-sama," which eased my nerves. Then, the boat sped off towards the sparkling water. First, we met a baby dolphin and enjoyed its impressive jumps. After that, we started slowly, and the dolphins followed us back and forth! They were so cute! The snorkeling point was also amazing. We saw brightly colored fish, corals, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers. Although they told us "Don't touch," they brought a sea cucumber for us to touch. On the way back, we raced with the dolphins and talked about volcanic layers and King Kamehameha, but... I probably couldn't laugh along with everyone... I understand some may feel anxious about the English guide, but our English is about middle school level. We managed just fine. We are proof of that (sounds familiar, right?). Captain Zodiac has a Japanese website, and I emailed them with several questions. Initially, the meeting point was at Honokohau Marina, but when they realized our hotel was close to Kailua Pier, they changed it for us. Their responses were very quick.

We didn't see any whales, but we had a great time. Good!

ﾊﾟﾜﾌﾙﾐﾄﾞﾙﾚﾃﾞｨｰ3人で参加しました。

集合場所のｶｲﾙｱ桟橋の緑のテントの下には怪しげなおじさん一人。予約券を見せるとNoと首を振られ、不安になっているとそばのまだ開いていないインフォメーションに連れていってくれ、そこの人が催行会社に日本人が3人いるよと電話してくれました。この怪しげなおじさんがいい人で、水着はきているか？日焼け止めは塗っているかと心配してくれ、ボートが来たときは誘導までしてくれました。ありがとうおじさん。

他の参加者と同じく日本人は私たちだけでしたが、ボートを操縦するＭr.ﾃﾞｭｴﾙ(～)はとてもフレンドリーなナイスガイ（たぶんあつしさんの時と同じ方では？）で、先月東京と京都に行ったよ。テレビ朝日で「Ｑさま」に出演したとか話してくれ、緊張がほぐれたところで、一気にボートは光り輝く水面を沖に向けて爆走。まずはイルカのベービーとご対面。上手なジャンプを堪能させていただいた後、今度はゆっくり発進。するとイルカたちが私達の前後をついてくるではありませんか！かわい~~いの連発。シュノーケリングポイントも素晴らしかったですよ。原色のお魚たちに珊瑚、うに、なまこなど、私達には“Don't touch”といっておきながらなまこをとってきて触らせてくれました。帰りはまたイルカと競争したり、火山の地層の話とかカメハメハ王の話をしてくれていたようですが、・・・・たぶん・・・？？みんなと一緒に笑うことはできませんでした・・・。英語ガイドで不安もな方もあるかと思いますが、私達は中3程度の英語です。なんとかなりましたよ。私達が証明です（どこかできいたような台詞）。ｷｬﾌﾟﾃﾝｿﾞﾃﾞｨｱｯｸには日本語のホームページもあり、そこにメールで何点か質問しました。最初集合場所が、ﾎﾉｺﾊｳﾏﾘｰﾅでしたが、ホテルがｶｲﾙｱ桟橋に近いとわかると変更してくれました。回答もとても早いです。

鯨には会えなかったけど十分楽しめました。good!

The best sunset. 最高のサンセット

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We were blessed with great weather, making it the best tour. Dinner at the Onizuka Visitor Center turned into a fun hiking experience thanks to the lovely weather. The sunset was more beautiful than I imagined. Thanks to the staff's attentive service, I was able to fully enjoy the summit of Mauna Kea without experiencing any altitude sickness.

お天気に恵まれたので最高のツアーなりました。
オニヅカビジターセンターでの夕食も良い御天気のおかげで楽しいハイキングのようになりました。
サンセットは想像以上に美しかったです。
スタッフの人のきめ細かい対応のおかげで高山病にも全くならずにマウナケア山頂を満喫できました。

Waipio Valley Waterfalls & Horseback Riding Tour with Naalapa Stables [Closed]

A Lot of fun & Beautiful views

Reviewed by: Bill

While the shear beauty of the valley is worth the trip out to Waipio, our guide made the day a special one. He was funny, knowledgeable and a pretty good photographer. We brought home some great memories and the pictures to keep them fresh. The ride was pretty tame, which was fine for us. The horses were gentle and the pace was leisurely and relaxing.

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's a wonderful activity! すばらしいアクティビティーです！

Reviewed by: あつし

The staff on the boat I rode had been to Japan for sightseeing, and they friendly chatted with us.

We sped through the highly transparent sea on a powerboat, where I could see a coin sinking, while snorkeling among the coral and colorful fish. We enjoyed watching dolphins at a distance where we could almost touch them! It was a tour packed with fun activities!

Along the way, we had some time to chat while snacking on light refreshments (snacks and fruits). There were about ten people on the boat, and only two of us were Japanese. Although I only understood English at a middle school level, I didn’t feel out of place and had a great time.

I participated after reading the reviews here, so I brought a change of clothes for after snorkeling and a hat for sun protection (a hat clip would be handy to prevent it from blowing away in the wind♪), which made it comfortable!

私が乗ったボートのスタッフが日本に観光に行ったことがあるとのことで、フレンドリーに話しかけてくれました。

コインを落としたら、沈んでいくのがずっと見えるほど透明度の高い海を、パワーボートでガンガン進み、珊瑚やカラーフィッシュを見ながらシュノ-ケリング。
海から観光しイルカに触れることができそうなほどの距離でウォッチングを楽しめる！１つのツアーで楽しみが盛りだくさんのアクティビティーでした！

途中、軽食（スナックやフルーツ）をつまみながら雑談する時間がありましたが１０人程度のボートに日本人は私達２人だけで、英語も中学で習った程度しかわかりませんが、特に疎外感もなくたのしめました。

ここのクチコミを読んでから参加したので、シュノーケリングのあとの着替えや、日焼け対策に帽子（風で飛ばされないように帽子クリップがあると便利♪）なども持っていったので快適でした！

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＞

You can still have fun even if you don't speak English! 英語ができなくても楽しめます♪

Reviewed by: min

We participated as a young couple. We departed from Kailua-Kona, and since we arrived early in the morning, we were able to use a free parking lot about a three-minute walk away instead of the paid parking at a hotel near the port.

There were many Americans at the meeting place, and we first received a colored card in exchange for our voucher. We were grouped by color and boarded the boat with others who had the same colored card.

I tend to get motion sickness, so I took some medication, but I hardly felt nauseous at all. We were the only Japanese on the boat, and most of the others were retired American couples.

It was an activity that was enjoyable even without speaking English! (Of course, I think it would be even more fun if you could speak☆)

The staff were considerate and communicated with easy-to-understand words and gestures♪

Of course, snorkeling was amazing! It was my first time snorkeling, and even though I can't swim, they provided a boogie board, so I was able to enjoy the beautiful underwater scenery while holding onto it☆

I brought a disposable camera that could be used underwater, but I ended up taking so many photos that I ran out of film. So, when we were sightseeing around the Big Island from above the water, even though dolphins were jumping right in front of us and we were in front of a magnificent lava cave, I couldn't capture those moments because I had exceeded the number of shots...

It was a really fun tour♪

若い夫婦２人での参加をしました。
カイルアコナからの出港でしたが、朝、早くに到着したので、レンタカーを港近くのホテルの有料駐車場ではなく、歩いて３分程度の無料駐車場を利用することができました。

集合場所にはたくさんのアメリカ人がいて、まずバウチャーと引き換えに色のついたカードを渡されます。
色分けされて、同じ色のカードを持った人達と一緒にボートに乗り込みます。

私はブランコでも酔う体質なので酔い止めを服用しましたが、ほとんど酔いはありませんでした。
同じボートには日本人は私たちだけで、あとは定年退職したアメリカの老夫婦がほとんどでした。

英語ができなくても充分に楽しめるアクティビティでした！
（もちろん、話せるともっと楽しいとは思いますが☆）

スタッフも気を遣ってくれて、わかりやすい単語やジェスチャーでコミュニケーションをとってくれます♪

もちろんシュノーケルは最高！初めてのシュノ-ケリングで、しかも泳げない私ですが、ビート版も貸してくれるのでそれにつかまりながらきれいな海中を堪能しました☆

水中で撮れる使い捨てカメラを１つ持って行きましたが枚数が足りないほど海中をパシャパシャ撮りまくってしまったので、シュノーケルの後に、海の上からハワイ島観光をしてくれた時にはせっかく目の前でイルカがクルクルジャンプしても、すばらしい溶岩洞窟を目の前にしても枚数オーバーで写真に収めることはできませんでした…

とっても楽しいツアーでした♪

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＞

良い天気 よいてんき

Reviewed by: ohana

I participated on November 10th. The dolphins in Hawaii are really friendly; they were playing at the exit of the arena, in front of the Captain Cook landing monument. There were also whales. Both the staff and guests were very friendly, but they spoke American English so quickly that it was hard to understand everything. The wind was quite strong, so be careful not to let your hat fly away. The sea was calm. Actually, about 15 years ago, I had my first experience with a "Zodiac" on Kauai, but at that time, the sea was a bit rough, and I was amazed by the boat handling techniques in the swells. This time was much easier, wasn't it?

11月10日参加しました。
ハワイのイルカはほんとうになつっこい、アリーナの出口で、キャプテンクック上陸碑の前で、遊んでいました。
鯨も居ましたよ。
スタッフもゲストも皆フレンドリー、ただし早口アメリカンなので理解しきるのは無理でした。
風をまともの受けます、帽子など飛ばされないように、
海はベタナギでした。
実は15年ほど前にカウアイ島で「ゾデアック」初体験だったのですが、この時はやや時化、うねりの中のボート操縦テクニックのものすごさに驚嘆したものでしたが。
今回は楽々過ぎました？

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＞

The boat... ボートが・・・

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I reconfirmed just to be sure, and I was told that the boat is broken, so the event has been canceled... Moreover, the next available slot is four days later, so I couldn't participate.

It feels like the service isn't as attentive as that of Japanese tour companies, so for those who will be participating in the future, it might be a good idea to contact them once you arrive, maybe the day before.

Reconfirmを念のためしたところ、ボートが壊れているから中止とのこと・・・。
しかも次に空いているところは4日後だったので、参加することが出来ませんでした。

日本のツアー会社のように手厚いサービスがないように感じるので、これから参加される方は、着いたら前日とかに一度連絡を入れてみたほうが良いかもしれません。
