Kealakekua Bay Guided Kayak & Captain Cook Snorkel Tour - Adventures In Paradise

Fantastic experience

Reviewed by: Jason, Bindi, Linda

Had a fantastic time. Kayak was good fun and not overly strenuous. Had a couple of stops along the way to catch our breath before we arrived at the monument. Snorkel was amazing with a huge variety of fish on display at close quarters. A pod of spinner dolphins arrived as we were leaving. Spent an hour snorkeling which gave us plenty of time to look around.
Then a paddle back again afterwards.
Our guide Patrick was very knowledgeable and safety conscious. He looked after us extremely well.
Very good value for the money.

When we reached the canyon I had been most looking forward to, I was moved by the guide's thoughtful gesture of lowering his voice to let us soak in the scenery quietly. Watching the pilot from behind the cockpit made me think how wonderful it is to be a pilot! It was a very rare experience to actually see the lava's gooey texture. I'm glad my mother, who was scared of helicopters, was able to ride comfortably. Above all, Toshi's love for the Big Island really came through. I want to work hard in Tokyo and return to the Big Island! Thank you very much for this experience.

一番見たかった渓谷に差し掛かった時に、ガイドの声を落として静かに景色に浸らせてくれる心配りに、景色と共に感動でした。操縦席を後ろから見ていてパイロットて素敵だなぁと思いましたw溶岩のドロドロさも目視出来てとても貴重な体験でした。ヘリコプターを怖がっていた母も安心して乗っていられたようで良かったです。何よりbig Island へのtoshiさんの愛がとてもよく伝わりました。又東京で頑張って働いてbig islandに帰りたいです！この度はありがとうございました。

Reviewed by: ノンさん

With the help of the friendly Daisuke and Kevin, as well as the slightly shy but cheerful captain, we headed out to sea! At first, I was a bit nervous, but when we encountered dolphins, my excitement grew more and more. Watching Daisuke swim joyfully with the dolphins made me want to join in, but since I couldn't dive, it was impossible. However, I was truly moved to see the dolphins up close. Although I shouldn't reach out to touch them, they were so close that it felt like I could. The fun time flew by in an instant. The anxiety I felt before participating turned into smiles.

気さくでフレンドリーなダイスケさんやケビンさん、少しシャイだけれども陽気な船長さんに助けていただきながら海にGO!!
初めは少し、恐々でしたがイルカに遭遇しどんどんテンションも上がりました
楽しくイルカと泳ぐダイスケさんを見ていると自分も一緒に泳ぎたくなりますが…潜れないので無理でした。でもとても近くで見るイルカちゃんには、とても感動しました。手を伸ばして触ってはいけないのですが、触れそうなほど近くにイルカちゃんがいました。楽しい時間は、あっという間でした。参加する前の不安は、笑顔に変わっていました。

Honestly, I didn't expect to see so many dolphins. On this day, we were lucky and encountered a pod of dolphins right after we set sail. My wife was nervous about swimming, but the guide took the time to teach each person how to swim, which made her feel at ease to participate in the tour. Above all, we could feel the love that our guide, Daisuke, had for the dolphins. Thanks to him, we were able to swim with the dolphins together as a couple, creating the best memories. Thank you very much.

正直、こんなにもイルカに会えるとは思っていませんでした。この日はタイミングが良く、出港してすぐにイルカの群れと会う事ができました。
泳ぎに不安だった妻でしたが苦手な人に対して１人１人に泳ぎ方を教えてくれて、安心してツアーに参加する事ができました。
何よりもガイドのダイスケさんのイルカに対する愛を感じました。そのお陰で夫婦でイルカと一緒に泳ぐ事ができ最高の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

Reviewed by: I.S

I participated in this tour for my honeymoon trip. There were other similar tours available, but I chose this one for three reasons: 1. a 95% chance of encountering dolphins, 2. many repeat customers, and most importantly, 3. it's suitable even for those who are not good swimmers!

If you're someone who wants to see dolphins but is a bit hesitant about swimming, I highly recommend this tour!

Even for someone like me who struggles with swimming, the guide provided excellent support, allowing me to enjoy the experience without worry. It was truly fun!

The guide was very knowledgeable about dolphins, and you could really feel the connection they had with them. I couldn't help but think that they might have been a dolphin in a past life! (laughs)

今回はハネムーン旅行で参加しました
。他にも似たようなツアーがありましたが、こちらを選んだ理由は1.イルカ遭遇率95% 、 2.リピーターが多い事、そして何より3.泳ぎが苦手な人でも大丈夫！とありましたので申し込みしました。

イルカは見たいけど泳ぎがちょっと、、、と思ってる方がいましたら是非こちらお薦めします！

泳ぎが苦手な私でも、安心して楽しめるようにガイドさんがしっかりフォローして下さって、本当に楽しかったです！

ガイドさん、イルカを熟知されてて、イルカと心を通わせてるのが伝わってきて、前世ではイルカだったんじゃないかな？と思わず考えてしまうほどでした。笑

Two people in their 60s who don't usually exercise. Although I felt relieved to see other participants around the same age, the first time entering the water was tough and terrifying, and I quickly got back on the boat. However, from the second time on, I leaned on a float and drifted around, and with the guide's support, I was able to see many dolphins. It was really fun!

The guide named us after people who were young long ago. I received plenty of support and had a great time, for which I am grateful. The female captain also gave us lots of encouragement.

普段運動してない60代2人。同世代と思われる参加者もあって一安心したものの、1回目の入水は、しんどい、溺れる‥‥恐怖で早々にボートに上がりましたが、2回目からは浮き棒に寄りかかってプカプカと漂い、ガイドさんのフォローを得てイルカさんをたくさん見る事が出来ました。本当に楽しかった！！

Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour Adventure on a Hawaiian Sailing Canoe

Unforgettable and once-in-a-lifetime

Reviewed by: Brett

This was an unforgettable once-in-a-a-lifetime experience! Definitely recommend swimming with the manta rays. It will be one of the most majestic experiences of wildlife you will ever have. A note we were unaware of: it seems essentially all ventures to swim with the mantas leave from a similar dock area and set anchor at essentially the same spot in the water--which is just a few hundred yards out from the dock.

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

Interesting but very commercial

Reviewed by: Mic

It was great seeing these amazing creatures but this is not so much a see the great manta ray in nature as much as it is a highly commercialized, 'we've figured out how to give you a manta-ray petting zoo experience'. They boat you out, extend a floating ladder with lights (to attract plankton), and then have you float and hold onto the ladder as the rays swim below you. They do come very close to you (and may brush against you) as they eat the plankton. Pretty neat for the first several passes but since you are surrounded by other boats doing the same thing with their own floating ladder-like structures the rays will spend their time with whomever has the brightest lights. After about :30 minutes of this people start getting bored and getting back on the boats. It was fun and interesting and glad we did it but not really "swimming with the rays".

I went directly to the meeting point since I had rented a car. On time, our guide Daisuke arrived. He was amazing!! He claimed to know more about dolphins than anyone else in the world, and he was right.

There were tours for foreigners, and the dolphin spots were crowded, but with his precise guidance, we were able to read the dolphins' movements from the agile boat and dive in!

We were able to see dolphins right in front of us during every dive. I had participated in several tours in Oahu, but this experience was on a completely different level in terms of encounters with dolphins, proximity, and enjoyment.

My middle school daughter was also very satisfied; it was a memorable tour. Thank you, Daisuke. This tour is definitely better than the more famous ones!

レンタカーを借りていたので集合場所に直接行きました。
時間通りにガイドのダイスケさんが来てくれました。
とにかく彼がすごい！！
世界一イルカを知っていると自負していましたが、その通り。

Reviewed by: Sharon

The Sea Paradise crew gave us a great experience, from setting us up with wet suit and snorkel gear to teaching us how to "behave" in the water (#1 rule - Don't touch the Manta Rays, #2 rule - don't pee in the wetsuits - haha! - they provide a bathroom on board), providing drinks and snacks, including hot chocolate which was welcome after the snorkeling. They also made sure we weren't needlessly floating around in the water before the rays showed up, but got us in there in plenty of time to see 4 different rays swimming literally inches below our faces! So cool to see them somersault and glide beneath you. Completely worth the cost! Do this!

Reviewed by: こさみ

I had the boat take me ahead of where the dolphins were coming, jumped into the sea holding onto a noodle float, swam at full speed to see the dolphins, got back on the boat, and repeated this seven times (laughs). It was quite a workout for someone like me who doesn't exercise at all, but I was really glad to participate as I watched the dolphins swimming close enough to touch and saw a group of over 30 dolphins (I counted, laughs) swimming leisurely in a slightly deeper area. Although Kealakekua Bay wasn't as blue due to the clouds, the water was clear and filled with colorful fish, making it very beautiful. I thought I would need to give a tip, and sure enough, they politely said, "If you were satisfied, please consider a tip." We handed over $50 for the two of us, which felt sufficient. The tour cost $170 per person, so with the tip, it comes to over 20,000 yen per person, but considering they provided the boat, determined the direction of the dolphins, and let us enter the water at the right timing, as well as took us to another snorkeling spot, I think it's a reasonable amount.

On the way back from Kealakekua Bay to the initial meeting point at Keauhou Bay, they showed us the dolphins from the boat again, and we were able to see them jump out of the water and spin twice!!! Since they are wild animals, we might not see them every time, but with 30 dolphins present this time, it's unlikely to have zero dolphins.

I was a bit anxious about the English tour, but when they first asked, "Can you speak English?" I replied, "A little," so they didn't say anything too complicated (laughs). When they helped me get back on the boat, they asked, "Very good, yeah?" and said, "Dolphins come this way, go!" There were instructions at Kealakekua Bay to avoid landing on the shore, but all of it was in simple English. I could understand but couldn't speak, so I just expressed my enjoyment by saying things like "Woo!" when I saw the dolphins (laughs).

Additionally, there were many other boats from different companies in the sea, and we helped each other by sharing the locations of the dolphins. When I was swimming freestyle, a Japanese guide from another tour told me, "It's better to kick your legs!" which was very cooperative and nice. The only downside is that there is no pickup service, but if you stay at the Sheraton Kona Resort & Spa at Keauhou Bay, you can walk to the meeting point.

I had such a great experience that I ended up writing a lot, but I highly recommend it, so definitely consider participating!!!

イルカが来るほうにボートで先回りしてもらって海に飛び込み、ヌードルという浮き具を握りしめて全速力で泳いでイルカを見て、ボートに上がってまた先回り、を繰り返すこと7回（笑）普段全く運動をしない身には堪えましたが、触れられそうな距離を泳いでいくイルカを見たり、ちょっと深いところを30匹以上（数えた（笑））のイルカの群れがゆったり泳いでいく様子を見たりして、参加して本当に良かったと息切れしながら思っていました。ケアラケクア湾も、曇っていたので青い海という感じではありませんでしたが、水が透明で色とりどりの魚がたくさんいて、とてもキレイでした。チップ渡すだろうなと思っていたらやはり「もし満足してもらえたならチップを。」と丁寧に言われたので、2人で50ドルお渡ししたら十分な感じでした。ツアー代が1人170ドルなのでチップを入れると1人2万円以上ですが、ボート出して、イルカが泳ぐ方向も見定めて適切なタイミングで海に入らせて、もう1か所シュノーケリングの名所に連れて行ってくれるわけですから、妥当な金額だと思います。ケアラケクア湾から最初の集合場所のケアウホウ湾に戻るとき、もう1度イルカをボートの上から見せてくれて、イルカが海面から飛び上がってスピンするところも2回見られました！！！自然の生き物なので毎回見られるわけではないかもしれないけど、今回30匹いたのでイルカがゼロということは滅多にないんじゃないでしょうか。
尚、英語ツアーということで少し不安がありましたが、最初に"Can you speak English?"と聞かれ"A little."と答えておきましたので、難しいことは一切言われませんでした（笑）海からボートに上がるのを手伝ってくれるときに"Very good, yeah?"と聞かれたり、"Dolphins come this way, go!"と言われたり。ケアラケクア湾では、海岸に上陸しないようになどの案内はありましたが、いずれも簡単な英語です。こちらは聞き取れますが話せないので、イルカが見えたときに「ヒュー！」などと言って楽しんでいることだけ伝えておきました（笑）また、海には他の会社の船もたくさんいて、お互いにイルカのいる場所を教え合ったり、私が平泳ぎをしていたら「バタ足のほうがいいですよ～。」と他のツアーの日本語のガイドさんが教えてくれたり、協力的な感じでよかったです。送迎がないのが難点ですが、集合場所へはシェラトン・コナ・リゾート＆スパ・アット・ケアウホウ・ベイに泊まれば歩いて行けます。
とても良い体験をしたのでつい長々と書いてしまいましたが、とてもおすすめなので是非参加してみてください！！！

My first dolphin swim was amazing! 人生初のドルフィンスイム最高でした！

Reviewed by: カノープス

This time, I participated with my 12-year-old son, and we were the only two on the tour. Although my son couldn't swim, they provided us with a float (noodle), so we could enjoy the activities with peace of mind. They arranged a large boat just for us, and the female captain was very kind! She told us where the dolphins were and changed the points so we could swim with them. It was incredibly moving to see the dolphins up close and swim with them. Most importantly, we could hear the dolphins communicating (echolocation) underwater. According to the captain, the secret lies in the boat's engine (it's quiet, so the dolphins don't escape).

After the dolphin swim, we had a plan to enjoy snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, but on the way to the snorkeling point, they stopped the boat and guided us to a lava tube, making it a very satisfying tour! Above all, the time spent on the boat was very pleasant and enjoyable, and the view of the Big Island from the ocean was exceptional. The fruit we had on the boat after snorkeling was also chilled and delicious. The captain's hospitality was wonderful, and I’m really glad I participated in this tour, which allowed us to fully enjoy the nature of the Big Island. It was a valuable and wonderful experience for my child as well. Thank you very much!

I participated alone, and when I looked around, I was the only Japanese person there. I boarded the boat thinking it was a sightseeing cruise, and the view from the ship, including Kailua and the mountain ridges in the background, was incredibly beautiful. The boat went all the way to the cape in search of dolphins in Kailua Bay, then made a U-turn while the captain diligently searched for dolphins. It was worth it, as suddenly 6 to 10 dolphins appeared and swam around the boat for a few minutes. I was very excited to see wild dolphins up close. It took about 30 minutes to reach the snorkeling point, where we had about 2 hours for snorkeling and lunch. After that, we cruised around Kailua Bay in search of dolphins. I can't speak English, but the crew was very kind and friendly, providing explanations in Japanese.

Kealakekua Bay Guided Kayak & Captain Cook Snorkel Tour - Adventures In Paradise

Excellent snorkeling plus a kayak paddle

Reviewed by: Elaine

The trip starts early so you can be the first on the water and the first to snorkel before the crowds show up. The paddle over to the Cook Monument was easy. We stopped for a history and a geology lesson which were interesting. Once the Kayaks were landed we walked to the Monument where we donned our snorkel gear and jumped into the water. Everywhere on the Big Island is difficult to enter the water. This was just an easy jump.

The fish were a wide variety with lots of groups of yellow butterfly fish. They come here for the waters which are a mix of fresh from the lad and salt water. The blurry effect of the waters mixing is fun. This place lets the fish clean themselves of irritants. The coral was fine but some was quite damaged.

The park only allows a limited number of snorkelers at this location. They should dial the numbers back as it became crowded quickly when five boats showed up about fifteen minutes after our snorkel started.

The paddle back was easy and it was still morning.
