Enjoying the Big Island! 満喫、ビッグアイランド!

Reviewed by: TMD

I was able to see the rarely seen bright red magma and a rainbow over the valley, making it a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It was an absolutely amazing flight.

なかなか見る事の出来ない真っ赤なマグマや谷にかかる虹などを見ることができ、一生に一度の体験ができました。とっても最高なフライトでした。

野生のイルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングツアー <朝食・昼食付き>

Is it a coincidence that we can see dolphins? イルカが見れるのは偶然?

Reviewed by: たーくんママ

We were lucky enough to see dolphins by chance, but I felt that encountering them depends on luck since we didn't forcefully search for or chase them. The boat swayed, but it was a large vessel, so I felt safe. The restrooms were clean, and the staff members were kind (they can communicate in English).

私たちは偶然イルカを見ることができましたが、無理にイルカを探したり追いかけたりすることをしないので、イルカに遭遇できるかは運次第かな?と感じました。
船は揺れますが、大きな船なので安心でした。トイレもキレイで、スタッフの方々も親切でした。(英語対応ですが)

I am very satisfied with the abundance of fish. 魚たくさん満足

Reviewed by: water

There are many fish in the shallow area. I was surprised when I was surrounded by yellow tangs.
It's also recommended for energetic kids to slide down from the boat's slide or jump off the diving board.
If you're not confident or worried about getting tired, you can wear a floatation belt around your torso for peace of mind.
Breakfast and lunch are enjoyable on the boat. The meat for the lunch burgers is freshly grilled on the boat and delicious.
I also got to see dolphins.

浅い方に魚がたくさん。キイロハギに囲まれた時はびっくり。
船から滑り台で滑り降りたり、ジャンプ台から飛び込んだり、元気なお子さんにもオススメです。
自信ない人、疲れるのが心配だあれば胴体に巻く浮きのようなベルトつければ安心。

I was thrilled to see the manta rays!! マンタに感激!!

Reviewed by: さくらちゃん

I had missed the chance to see manta rays in Palau and Ishigaki Island, so I joined the tour with the hope that this time I wouldn't miss out. My family was actually quite skeptical, thinking it might be impossible. However, I’m really glad I went! On that day, three manta rays came to us, and they turned around multiple times, which was just amazing! This was the best memory from my experience on the Big Island. I hope everyone can have a wonderful experience at Manta University as well. If I have the opportunity to go back to the Big Island, I would love to participate again.

これまでにパラオ、石垣島でマンタに出会うチャンスをのがしていたので、今度こそとの思いでツアーに参加しました。家族はもう無理じゃない?と実のところ後ろ向きでした。しかし、行ってみて本当に良かったです。この日は3枚のマンタが来てくれて、なんどもターンしてくれてもう大感激でした!!今回のハワイ島での体験の中で一番の思い出です。ぜひみなさんもマンタ大学で素晴らしい体験をしてほしいです。またハワイ島にいく機会があれば、もう一度参加したいです。

Reviewed by: りゅうのすけ

Last year, I couldn't fly due to two cancellations caused by the weather. This year, it was a success on the first try. This tour allows you to enjoy both the volcanic side and the canyon side of the Big Island, giving you a real sense of the richness of nature. This time, we were taken care of by a Japanese pilot named TOSHI, and I was very satisfied as I got to see wonderful scenery while listening to various stories. My 9-year-old child was with us, and TOSHI explained things in a way that was easy for the child to understand at various points, so it seems my child enjoyed it as well. The air conditioning inside the helicopter was well-functioning, making for a comfortable environment in short sleeves and shorts. I would love to do this again.

昨年、天候のせいで2回のキャンセルの結果、飛ぶことが出来ませんでした。
今年は1発OKでした。
このツアーはハワイ島の火山サイドと渓谷サイドを両方楽しむことができ、自然の豊かさを実感できるツアーです。今回は日本人パイロットのTOSHIさんにお世話になりましたが、色々なお話を伺いながら素敵な景色を見られて大満足でした。9歳の子供も一緒でしたが、TOSHIさんが色々な場面で子供にもわかりやすく説明して下さり、子供も堪能していたようです。
ヘリコプター内は空調がしっかり聞いていて半袖短パンで快適な環境です。

It was a very good experience. とても良い体験です

Reviewed by: りゅうのすけ

You can interact with the dolphins comfortably under the guidance of the trainers. However, all communication is in English. The trainers are very friendly and use gestures to express themselves, but it would be less stressful if you have a basic understanding of English.

The experience lasts for 30 minutes, but you won't be interacting with the dolphins continuously for that entire time. Depending on the dolphins' situation, there will be moments when you are separated from them, and then you will interact with them again under the trainer's guidance. However, it felt like the total time was more than 30 minutes.

The dolphins are truly adorable, and the experience of being able to touch them is very valuable.

Also, when participating in this activity, you need to bring a bath towel from your hotel room. I forgot mine and ended up purchasing a towel from the shop for $30.

Additionally, during the activity, you are not allowed to take any photos or videos. Each group has a dedicated photographer, and you can purchase the footage for $100 (the video lasts for 20 minutes). You need to request this at check-in. After the activity, you can choose to purchase all the image data or individual prints. Buying all 40 images costs $125, but if you buy them individually, it will end up being about the same if you get around 6 images.

トレーナーの方の誘導で安心してイルカと触れ合うことが出来ます。
ただ、言語は全て英語です。トレーナーの方もとてもフレンドリーで身振りで表現をしてくださいますが、できれば基本的な英語がわかっている方がストレスはないと思います。
体験の時間は30分となっていますが、30分継続してイルカと触れ合る訳ではなかったです。イルカの状況に応じて暫くイルカと離れ、トレーナーの誘導で再び触れ合うような感じです。でもトータルの時間は30分以上だったように感じました。
イルカは本当に可愛らしく、実際に体を触ることが出来た経験はとても貴重です。
あと、こちらのアクティビティーに参加する際にはホテルの部屋からバスタオルを持っていかねばなりません。忘れてしまい、ショップのタオルを30ドルで購入しました。
あと、アクティビティー中は写真やビデオの撮影は一切できません。映像は各グループにつききっりの撮影者が付き、100ドルで購入可能です(映像の長さは20分間)。チェックインの際にお願いしなければなりません。写真はアクティビティーの後で、画像データを全部購入や、1枚ずつの写真印刷等、色々選べます。画像データは40カット全部を買うと125ドルですが、個別で買っても6画像ぐらい買うと結局それぐらいになります。

First manta ray experience 初マンタ体験

Reviewed by: kolyn

No shuttle plan $110
It takes about 30 minutes by powerboat from the meeting point to arrive off the Sheraton Hotel. The sunset is amazing.
When we arrived, there were about 7 or 8 boats gathered.
After the sunset, we held onto the boat and enjoyed manta ray watching for about 40 minutes.
During that time, we saw manta rays ranging from 50 cm to 100 cm about 10 times.
On the way back, we returned in the powerboat through the darkness for 30 minutes, but it started to rain and it was quite cold and uncomfortable.
I think a tour that meets near the Sheraton would be easier and quicker.

集合場所からパワーボートで30分位でシェラトンホテル沖に到着。サンセットが最高です。
着くと7.8艘のボートが集まっていました。
サンセット後ボードにつかまりマンタ観賞40分位しました。
その間10回位50cm~100cmのマンタが観られました
帰りはまたパワーボートで暗闇のなか30分かけて戻りますが、雨が降ってきてけっこう寒くて辛いです。
シェラトン近く集合のツアーの方が楽で短時間でいけると思います。

Hawaii Island is the best! ハワイ島、最高!

Reviewed by: あつママ

We participated with my sister in her 40s and her children (a 2nd grader and a 1st year high school student). It was our first stay on the Big Island of Hawaii, and we were anxious about our English skills, but thanks to the person who picked us up and our guide, we felt truly safe and enjoyed ourselves. They guided us with careful encouragement while cherishing Hawaii's nature and dolphins, ensuring that guests could fully enjoy snorkeling. My 7-year-old son, who was experiencing the ocean for the first time, jumped in with a wonderful smile without any fear. Even for me, a first-time snorkeler, I was able to relax without a floatation device thanks to the guide's suggestion, "Mom, you'll be fine without a float, you can do it," and I entrusted my children to them, allowing us to fully enjoy the beautiful world of dolphins. I am truly grateful for being able to share such a happy experience with my children! I will not forget the smiles of the staff and the ocean of Hawaii, and I definitely want to visit the Big Island again.

40代の姉妹と、その子ども(小2と高1)で参加しました。ハワイ島初滞在で英語も不安な私たちでしたが、迎えにきてくださった方やガイドさんのおかげで、本当に安心して楽しめました。ハワイの自然やイルカを大切にしながら、ゲストがシュノーケリングを満喫できるよう細やかなお声かけで誘導して下さいました。海が初めての7歳の息子も、全く怖がらず素晴らしい笑顔で飛び込んでいました。シュノーケリングが初めてのわたしも、ガイドさんの「ママは浮きなしでも大丈夫、いけるよ」の暗示(?)のおかげで(笑)リラックスして浮き具なしで、子どももお任せして、とても美しいイルカさんの世界を堪能できました。こんなハッピーな体験を子どもと一緒に楽しめたこと、心からありがとうございました!スタッフの方々の笑顔とハワイの海を忘れず、ぜひまたハワイ島を訪れたいです。

Getting up close to a manta ray!! マンタに急接近!!

Reviewed by: SEN

I participated in a night snorkeling experience for the first time, thanks to an invitation from a couple of friends. I was worried about whether it would be okay to go at night since I had my child (a third grader) with me, but we had no problems and enjoyed ourselves.

There was a warning beforehand not to touch anything, but the manta rays came so close that they actually touched us, which surprised me at first. However, after a few encounters with the manta rays, we were able to observe them closely. My child was initially scared, but it seemed like they were able to observe them carefully and shared various thoughts, so I felt it was a good decision to take them along.

*I only captured the manta rays on video, so I don’t have any photos...*

Also, the sunset viewed from the boat was beautiful.

友人夫婦の誘いもあり、今回初めてナイトシュノーケルに参加しました。
子供(小学3年生)と一緒だったので、夜間でも大丈夫かと心配がありましたが、
なんの問題もなく楽しめました。
事前に触らないようにとの注意がありましたが、マンタの方が触れてくるぐらい接近
してくることもあり、最初はびっくりしましたが、何度かマンタが来ることで
じっくり観察ができました。

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

Manta ray swim

Reviewed by: Jessica

The people at sea paradise were truly outstanding. They were professional, fun, and extremely accommodating. Let me preface this review by saying that I suffer from extreme motion sickness and had I not been heavily medicated then this would've been a truly awful experience, of course this was no fault of the crew, the waters are just that rough. The crew Heather and Troy and the captain did their absolute best to make me feel better, while entertaining my six year old daughter. We saw tons of mantas and they barrel roll right under you almost touching you. Truly a remarkable experience. Once we decided we had enough the crew got us back to the shore as quickly as possible as they could tell I was in distress. I highly recommend this experience, just be aware that you will need every form of motion sickness prevention if that's a concern. I couldn't be more pleased with the crew of sea paradise.

Reply from activity provider

Aloha and Mahalo for taking the time to review your experience. We are happy you had a great time and you took the precautions you needed for your motion sickness. The waters in Kona are generally flat and the calmest of the islands, however once in awhile we do get a swell. Happy the mantas put on their beautiful performance to keep you at ease.

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧 水~土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能<フライト100分/英語パイロット/ワイコロアヘリポート>

The view of the mountains from the helicopter, the crater of Kilauea Volcano, and the beauty of the valleys are impressive. ヘリからの山、キラウエア火山の火口、渓谷美は見応え有り

Reviewed by: WFNT1950

The pilot who spoke Japanese was on vacation in Japan, and the commentary was in English. However, even though I couldn't understand much of the English commentary, the overwhelming power of the steam from the lava flowing into the sea and the crater was enough to enjoy the experience. The tour was quite expensive, but it provided an experience that was worth more. The day before, I was able to confirm the route to Mauna Kea from the air. In less than two hours, I was able to enjoy everything: Mauna Kea, the Kilauea volcano crater, the steam at the shoreline, the beauty of the valleys, and the waterfalls, which can only be experienced through a helicopter tour. For those who easily get motion sickness on planes, the constant G-force is reassuring. It feels like riding on a swing, making it enjoyable.

日本語の出来るパイロットはバカンスで日本に行っており解説は英語だった。しかし英語の解説は余り理解出来なくても火口や海に流れ込む溶岩からの水蒸気は圧倒的な迫力が有り十分楽しめた。遊覧の費用は結構高かったがそれ以上の体験が出来た。前日に行ったマウナケア山やそこへ続き道を上空から改めて確認する事が出来た。マウナケア山、キラウエア火山の火口、波打際の蒸気、渓谷美と滝を2時間弱で全て楽しむ事が出来るのはヘリでの遊覧でしか出来ない。飛行機に酔い易い人もGがずーと掛かっているの安心です。それはブランコに乗っている様な感覚で楽しめます。

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

Manta Ray Swim

Reviewed by: Tony

I had a great time the guides very very knowledgeable and helpful. It was amazing how close the Manta Ray came to use as we were on the surface hanging to a raft. If I go back this is one thing I will differently do again.

4.5-Hour Sea Paradise Premium Kealakekua Bay Snorkel Tour with Breakfast & Lunch

Great trip!!

Reviewed by: Angela

Captain Morgan (ikr) was exceptional. This tour was very personal. It's 6 people tops. So you don't feel crowded on the boat. Not like some of the other snorkeling excursions. I highly recommend this company :) They also stop at 2 spots. Instead of 1!!! We got to see dolphins too. Great times :)

Kona Sunset & Moonlight Wild Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Wahine Charters

Swimming with rays

Reviewed by: Dorotka

It was an amazing experience ! Like an underwater ballet with a bit of adrenaline because even you know that rays are completely harmless and gentle you are still swimming in the middle of the ocean at night .There were at least 25 of them that night passing sometimes within an inch of our biddies, it felt like gentle caressing. I think it was my favorite activity and we did practically everything there is to be done on the Island (from extreme to leisure ) Definitely recomend it
