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＞

The best experience of my life. 人生最高レベルの経験

Reviewed by: とっぴ

We encountered about 20 dolphins just five minutes after departure! After that, we spotted two small whales (which the guide mentioned are quite rare to see). Even though it wasn't included in the tour, we were able to swim and see them up close.

When we moved to Dolphin Point, we were able to meet around 100 dolphins. The sight of dolphins swirling around us was a memory of a lifetime. There’s a rule against touching them, but they come close enough for us to reach out (however, our hands have a lot of germs, and touching them could cause burns, so we must absolutely not touch!). It was clear that the guide was enjoying himself, which made it fun for us too.

As a bonus, we also got to see a whale, which felt like an incredible deal.

Afterward, we received potato chips and juice to satisfy our little hunger.

I realized that many customers had also come on the same tour two years ago or were planning to come again tomorrow, which showed me how great this tour is. If I have the chance to come again, I would definitely want to participate.

出発して5分もしないところでイルカ20頭程と早速遭遇！
その後、小さなクジラ2匹に遭遇！(ガイドさんでもなかなか見れない種類らしい)
そこでもツアーに含まれないのに泳いで見ることができました。
その後ドルフィンポイントに移動したら、おそらく100頭ほどのイルカに出会うことができました。
左右下にぐるぐるとイルカがいる様子は、一生の思い出になりました。
触ってはいけないルールなのですが、触れるほどの距離までイルカから来てくれます(が、私たちの手にはばい菌が沢山で、イルカが火傷のようになるので絶対触ってはいけません！)
ガイドさん自身が楽しんでいるのが伝わり、こちらも楽しかったです。

その後も、おまけでホエールも見れて、本当にお得すぎました。

終わった後にポテトチップスとジュースをもらい、小腹を満たせます。

2年前に同じツアーに来たんだ！とか、
明日も来る！というお客さんが沢山いて、
このツアーの良さがわかりました。
私もまた来る機会があれば、絶対に参加したいです。

Getting up close to the manta rays! マンタに大接近！

I was a bit anxious because there were few Japanese people on the tour, but the cute Ali-chan kindly explained everything! I was excited to see a manta ray, and we encountered one fairly quickly after starting snorkeling! It was impressive, yet I felt it was really cute! At first, I was so excited to see the manta ray that I forgot about the cold, but since it was late January, it gradually got colder towards the end, and I couldn't stop shivering after getting back on the boat. However, it was a valuable experience to see a manta ray for the first time!

ツアーは日本人が少なく不安になりましたが、かわいいアリちゃんが優しく説明してくれました！
マンタに会えるかドキドキでしたが、シュノーケリング開始から割とすぐにマンタに会えました！迫力があって、でもすごくかわいく感じました！

It was the best experience. 最高の体験でした

Reviewed by: SYOUMA

Fortunately, we spotted a humpback whale right after leaving the harbor! And then, it jumped right in front of us! Both the guide and we were super excited.

Previously, I participated in a dolphin tour on Oahu, so this time I chose to see manta rays, which I had never seen before.

The crew was incredibly kind, and it was very reassuring to have staff who could speak Japanese.

We hopped on the boat and headed to the manta point!

During the ride, the sunset visible from the boat was stunning and moving. I tend to get seasick, so I took motion sickness medication from the start, which allowed me to enjoy the trip.

I was splashed with water, and my excitement was at its peak!

Upon arriving at the spot, I held onto the rope attached to the surfboard and waited for the manta rays to come close. It was a bit cold in the water during that time, but the guide checked on me several times, asking if I was okay.

When I actually saw the manta rays, the impact was incredible, and I was very moved. They were so close that I was really worried about accidentally touching them, but I was desperate to take photos.

On the way back, we were treated to hot chocolate and snacks, and there was a rather bitter ginger treat, which made me happy. This ginger was really delicious!

Since the wetsuits were wet on the way back, a bath towel is absolutely essential.

I spent a precious and happy time gazing at the beautiful starry sky over the dark sea.

ラッキーなことに港を出てすぐに、ザトウクジラを発見！！

以前は、イルカのツアーをオアフ島で参加したので、今回は見たことがないマンタにしました。

クルーの方もすごく優しい事、日本語を話せるスタッフさんがいらっしゃる事がとても安心でした。

マンタのポイントまで、船に乗って、GO！

その際に、船から見える夕陽は、とても綺麗で感動しました。
私は船酔いが酷いので最初から酔い止めを飲んでおいたので楽しく
移動が出来ました。

水しぶきも浴び私のテンションはMAX！

スポットへ到着してサーフボードに付いてる紐を持って、ひたすらマンタが近寄ってくるのを待つ感じでした。
その間は水の中で少し寒かったのですが、ガイドさんが大丈夫？と何度も声をかけてくれました。

実際マンタを見ると、迫力がすごくて、とても感動しました。
とにかく近いので触れてしまわないかとてもとても心配でしたが私は写真を撮る事に必死でした。

帰りには、ホットチョコレートと、スナック、かなり苦いですがジンジャーの差し入れがあり、嬉しかったです。
このジンジャーがかなり美味しかった！

I participated with my child who is under three years old. My husband and I planned to take turns going into the sea while one of us stayed on the boat with our child, but since the group went a bit far from the boat, that plan turned out to be difficult. In the end, we sat our son on a surfboard and both of us snorkeled with the other participants. At first, our child was scared and crying, but gradually he got used to it and said, "I'm not scared anymore." The staff were very kind to our youngest son, holding him so we could enjoy ourselves without worrying about him, and they were incredibly helpful.

I wasn't sure about the meeting place, but when I called the contact number, they kindly explained the location and even sent a photo of the map to my phone.

We had a great time, but I think it might be difficult for children under three to participate, depending on the staff.

3歳未満の子供と参加しました。主人と交代で海に入り、どちらかが子供と一緒に船上で待っていようと計画していましたが団体が少し船から離れたところまで行くので実際はその計画は難しく、結局サーフボードに息子を座らせて夫婦同時に他の参加者と共にシュノーケルをしました。はじめ子供は怖がっていて泣きべそをかいていましたがだんだん慣れて「もう怖くない」と言っていました。スタッフも最年少の息子にとても優しく、私たちが息子のことを気にかけず楽しめるように抱っこしてくれたり申し訳ないほど親切にしてもらいました。

集合場所もよく分からなかったのですが連絡先に電話を入れたらとても丁寧に場所を教えてくれて私の携帯に地図の写真まで送ってくれました。

Be careful of the cold and seasickness!!! 寒さと船酔いに注意！！！

Reviewed by: Michi

Since I went to the Big Island, I absolutely wanted to see a manta ray! With high spirits, I joined this tour. I was really excited until I got into the water, but... since it was December, the water temperature was cold, and the waves were quite strong, so the conditions weren't great. Once I got in the water, it was really cold, and even though I took motion sickness medication, I ended up feeling seasick. I stayed in the water for 30 minutes, determined to see at least one manta ray, and I was able to see a few! The excitement I felt when I saw them was truly beyond words! However, I couldn't last until the end and had to get back on the boat after 30 minutes, feeling groggy... but this is also a memory of my trip.

The instructor, Torichan, was a very cheerful Japanese person, which made me feel really at ease. They lent us their personal windbreaker since we were feeling seasick and offered us warm drinks.

It was easy to communicate in Japanese, which was nice.

I want to see manta rays up close again, so I think I'll try for a rematch during the warmer season!

Thank you for the exciting experience! ^ - ^

My husband and I enjoyed the evening of going out on a canoe and then getting in the water and holding on to a lighted surf board to observing the huge mantas come right up to you!

Although it is in the "warm" Hawaiian water- after 30 minutes the water does steal your bodies warmth. So that would be my only suggestion to the average tourist.

Overwhelmed by the manta ray approaching! 目前に迫るマンタに圧倒！

Reviewed by: JoJo

I participated in early November. I was worried about the cold for the night activity, but thanks to the wetsuit I rented, I didn't feel too cold underwater. If the waiting time underwater is long, it might be tough. Fortunately, we only waited about five minutes, and more than three mantas came to us, which made me forget the cold in amazement. The graceful mantas gliding right in front of me were breathtaking! The bright white bellies of the mantas illuminated by the lights stood out against the night sea, making it feel almost unreal. They kept coming until we got back on the surface, and I enjoyed it until the very end.

Once we got back on the boat, my body felt heavier than I expected, and the cold was tough. I'm glad I brought a thick towel and a windbreaker. Also, despite taking motion sickness medicine, I felt nauseous from the waves and couldn't drink cocoa.

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset, so I’ll give it a ☆-1. However, I was very satisfied with the main manta experience! I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

11月初旬に参加しました。夜のアクティビティのため寒さが心配でしたが、借りたウェットスーツのおかげか水中ではあまり寒さを感じませんでした。水中での待機時間が長いとこたえるかもしれません。幸いにも私たちの場合は5分ほど待っただけで3枚以上のマンタが来てくれたので、感動で寒さも吹き飛びました。目の前を優雅に翻るマンタは圧巻です！ライトに照らされたマンタの真っ白な腹部が夜の海に映え、現実のこととは思えないほどでした。水上に上がるまで繰り返しマンタが来てくれて、最後まで満喫できました。
船上に上がってからは思った以上に体が重く、寒さがこたえました。厚手のタオルとウインドブレーカーを持って行ってよかったです。また、酔い止め薬を飲んで行ったのにも関わらず波酔いをしたのか、胸がむかむかしてココアが飲めませんでした。
残念ながら夕日が見られなかったので、☆-1つ。でも、メインのマンタを満喫できたので大満足です！友達にも勧めたいと思います。

I was moved by the manta rays up close! 間近に見るマンタに感動！

Reviewed by: まさ&なつ

I thought manta rays were something to see at an aquarium (laughs), so I was really looking forward to this tour. Since it was a meet-up plan, I drove there with a rental car, but the meeting spot in the large harbor was a bit hard to find. It's best to allow a little extra time♪

The other participants were from overseas (maybe America?), and our guide, a very cute and cheerful girl named Ari, guided us in perfect Japanese as we traveled by boat for about 20 minutes to the point. It felt amazing; even though it was a small boat, the sensation of cutting through the wind and racing across the evening sea was the best. We encountered wild dolphins along the way, and they even stopped the boat for a bit, allowing us to see them up close. It seemed like the dolphins were coming over to us!

When we arrived at the manta point, we held onto a board with blue lights to watch the mantas. I was shocked to see them so close! I observed their large mouths, round eyes, and even the tips of their tails. It felt like they were dancing around, which was a strange sensation. I had imagined it would be more like just seeing them glide by, so it was quite a surprise.

Of course, since it was nighttime on the way back and my wetsuit was wet, please make sure to bring a bath towel and a windbreaker. The starry sky we saw on the way back was a breathtaking view with the majestic mountains over the sea.

マンタは水族館で見るものだと思っていたので(笑)、このツアーを知って楽しみにしていました。
現地集合プランだったので、レンタカーで行きましたが広いハーバー内、集合場所はちょっと分かりにくかったです。少し時間に余裕をもって♪
他の参加者の方は海外の方たち（アメリカかな？）でしたが、とってもかわいくて明るいガイドのアリちゃんに、ばっちり日本語でガイドしてもらいながら20分ほど船でポイントまで行きます。これがとっても気持ち良くて、小さい船ですが風を切って夕方の海を疾走する感覚は最高でした。途中で野生のイルカにも遭遇して、少し船を止めてくれたのですごく近くで見ることができたし、イルカの方も寄ってきてくれてるようでした！
マンタポイントに着いて、ブルーライトの付いたボードにつかまってマンタを見るのですが、『えっ！こんなに近くで見れるの？！マンタってこんな姿をしてるんだ！』って、大きな口やつぶらな目、しっぽの先までマンタを隅々まで観察できました。くるくるとダンスをしてくれてるようでもあり、不思議な感覚でした。『すーっと通りすぎるのを見る』みたいなイメージだったので、びっくりしました。
さすがに、帰りは夜ですしウェットスーツも濡れてるのでバスタオルやウインドブレーカーをちゃんと持っていって下さいね。帰りに見た星空も、海の上で雄大な山々と共にのぞむ絶景でしたよ。

The return time was about an hour earlier than what was listed on the voucher. At the meeting point, the taxi driver and the guide spoke directly, so I didn't have to wait outside.

The meeting place took some time to reach, as the taxi driver was unsure even after I showed him pictures and maps. I recommend acting early.

★ Tour Content
The guide was very cheerful and spoke fluent Japanese!

The boat ride to the manta ray swimming point was quite fast and fun. Thanks to taking motion sickness medication after seeing other people's posts, I didn't get seasick. The sunset we saw along the way was also very beautiful!

When swimming with the manta rays, there were no life jackets, so as someone who can't swim at all, I was quite worried. However, I just had to hold onto the rope attached to the board and float, so I was able to enjoy it too. No worries!

I was able to see manta rays up close, and it was a very satisfying tour. Several manta rays came right in front of me multiple times, close enough to touch (though I didn't touch them).

By November, it gets cold on the way there (even colder on the way back), so I think it's better to bring a larger towel or something to wear.

ハネムーンでハワイ島へ＾＾
参加後、投稿記載で1人分無料との事なので、現地集合プランで参加しました＾＾

★アクセス
シェラトンコナリゾートに宿泊したのですが、
ホテルから現地迄はタクシーで40＄（片道）でした。
チップを考慮してもお得でした。
復路も頼んでおかないと、長しのタクシーは居ないとの事だったので、
ホテルの方にお願いをし、往復で予約。

※帰り時間は要確認
バーチャーで記載して頂いた時間より1時間程早かったです。
集合時、タクシーの運転手さんとガイドの方が直接話して下さったので、外で待たされることは無かったです＾＾

集合場所は、タクシーの運転手さんに写真やマップを見せても悩んでいて、
到着迄は時間がかかりました。
早めの行動をおすすめします。

★ツアー内容
ガイドさんはとても明るく、日本語もペラペラでした♪

マンタと泳ぐポイント迄の船は、かなり猛スピードで楽しかったです。笑
他の方の投稿を見て酔い止めを飲んでおいたおかげか、船酔いはなかったです＾＾
途中で見た夕日もとてもきれいでした！！

マンタと泳ぐ際は、ライフジャケットもなかったので、
1ミリも泳げない私はとても心配でしたが、
ボードについているロープをつかんで浮いていれば良いだけだったので、
私でも楽しめました＾＾
心配無しです♪

目の前でマンタも見れ、とても大満足なツアーでした。
何匹ものマンタが何度も目の前に来てくれ、
触れるほどの距離です！（触れませんが＾＾）

11月ともなると行きから（帰りはもっと）寒いので、
大きめのタオルや羽織るもの等を持って行った方がよいと思います＾＾

マンタ大学夜学部　野生のマンタ＆ナイトシュノーケリングツアー ＜送迎可／日本語スタッフ乗船日あり＞

I made eye contact with a manta! マンタと目が合った！

Reviewed by: ゆでたまご

We headed to the meeting place at Honokohau Harbor from Waikoloa by rental car, but there was a long traffic jam heading towards Kailua about 3 kilometers before Kona Airport, so it's better for those using a rental car to leave their accommodations early.

The meeting spot is a bit hard to find, but if you follow keywords like the large parking lot on the north side of the harbor (partly gravel), the big public restroom in the middle, and the building with a yellow fence and blue roof (which is easier to identify as a shed), you should be fine.

The boat can be quite bumpy, jumping on the waves, so if you are prone to seasickness, it's definitely advisable to take motion sickness medication that you bought in Japan. The boat will anchor at the manta ray viewing point, but the slight swaying here can also trigger seasickness.

The Japanese-speaking guide, Ali, is very friendly and cute. She explained the manta rays clearly for first-time participants. You hold onto a surfboard to keep your body horizontal and wait for the manta rays to come. That day, manta rays gathered one after another to feed, and we were able to see them doing flips right in front of us. It felt like they were looking at us with their big eyes, which was quite thrilling. The largest female manta ray is said to be over 4 meters long. I had an incredible and unforgettable experience, and I'm very excited. Mahalo.

集合場所のホノコハウハーバーへはワイコロアからレンタカーで向かいましたが、コナ空港手前3キロ位からカイルア方面に向って長い渋滞が起きていたのでレンタカーを利用して行く人は早めに宿を出た方が良いです。
待ち合わせ場所はちょっと分かりにくいけど、ハーバー北側の広い駐車場（一部砂利）、真ん中にある大きい公衆トイレ、黄色いフェンスと青い屋根の建物（小屋と行った方が分かりやすい）といったキーワードを辿って行けば大丈夫です。
ボートは結構激しく海面をジャンプしたりして揺れるので船酔いしやすい人は絶対に日本で買った酔い止めの薬を飲んだ方が良いです。マンタを見るポイントでボートを停泊しますが、ここでの微妙な横揺れも船酔いを誘発させます。
日本語を話すガイドのアリちゃんはとってもフレンドリーでキュートです。初めての参加の人にも分かりやすくマンタの説明をしてくれました。サーフボードにつかまって体を水平に保ちマンタが来るのを待ちます。この日は次から次へとマンタが餌を食べに集まり、目の前でくるんくるんと宙返りをする姿が直ぐ近くで見る事が出来ました。大きな目玉でギョロッとこちらを見ているような気がしてドキッとします。一番大きな雌のマンタは4メートル以上あるそうです。信じられないような未知なる体験をさせていただき大変興奮しています。Mahalo

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 best two hours! 最高の２時間！

Reviewed by: YUKO

We participated in the flight at 7 AM on November 16th! We were the only Japanese participants, which made us quite anxious, but the pilot, TOSHI, who appeared was a very cheerful and wonderful Japanese person. With 20 years of experience, he was also very good at communicating. He explained things clearly to the foreign passengers, mixing Japanese and English.

The weather that day was perfect! We could see the lava from Kilauea and the lava from the Ocean Approach clearly. More than that, the breathtaking scenery of Waipi'o Valley, which can only be seen by helicopter, left us speechless. The world’s 13th tallest waterfall was flowing beautifully. According to TOSHI, it had rained the day before, and since it was the first flight of the morning, there was a lot of water flowing. He mentioned that by around noon, the water would hardly be flowing, so I recommend an early flight for those who will participate in the future.

As for the flight itself, there was nothing to complain about, but one disappointing aspect was the hotel pickup. We were scheduled to be picked up at 5:55 AM and waited five minutes early to avoid being late, but the car actually arrived after 6:10 AM. The voucher stated to contact them if the pickup did not arrive after 15 minutes, so when I tried to get the front desk to help, the car arrived just then. It was disappointing to have woken up early for this. The pickup staff did not speak Japanese, so I couldn't voice any complaints.

Meeting TOSHI, who shares the same last name, made for an unforgettable day for us. Thank you!

１１月１６日の朝７時のフライトに２人で参加しました！
日本人の参加者は私たち夫婦だけで、かなり不安でしたが、登場してきたパイロットのTOSHIさんがとーっても明るくて素敵な日本人でした。２０年のベテランでとーってもお話上手。
一緒に搭乗した外人さんにもわかりやすく、日本語と英語を交えて説明してくれました。

この日の天候は最高！キラウエアの溶岩も、オーシャンアプローチの溶岩もしっかり見えました。それよりもワイピオ渓谷では、ヘリコプターでしか見れない壮大な景観、言葉が出ないぐらい感動してしまいました。世界で１３番目に高い滝は、しっかり水が落ちていました。TOSHIさんの話では、前日に雨が降り、朝１番でのフライトだからたくさん水が落ちている、とのこと。昼ぐらいには水はほとんど落ちないでしょう、ということなので、これから参加する方は早い時間のフライトをお勧めします。

フライトに関しては、何の申し分もないぐらいですが、１つ残念だったのが、ホテルの送迎に関して。
５時５５分のお迎え予定で、遅れないようにと５分前には待っていましたが、実際に車が来たのは６時１０分過ぎ。１５分過ぎて迎えが来ない場合は連絡をください、とバウチャーに書いてあったので、連絡しようとフロントに動いてもらったら、車が来るというタイミング。頑張って朝早く起きたことを残念に思ったスタートでした。お迎えのスタッフは日本語ができない人たちなので、文句は何も言えませんでした。

同じ苗字のTOSHIさんとの出会いは、私達夫婦にとって、忘れられない１日になりました。
ありがとうございました！

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's breathtaking. 圧巻です

Reviewed by: rokkizo

Fortunately, according to the guide, we saw the most dolphins recently. We were able to see dozens of dolphins and even swim alongside them. The experienced guide would find the dolphins and maneuver the boat to the best spots for encounters, and participants would jump into the sea as instructed. The guide was also very kind, making it enjoyable even for those who were alone.

運良くですがガイドさん曰く最近では一番よくかつ多くのイルカを見られました。何十頭ものイルカを見られ、並んで泳ぐこともできました。熟練のガイドさんでイルカを見つけては一番遭遇できる場所まで小回りの効く船で先回りして、参加者は指示どおり海に飛び込むという感じです。ガイドさんもとても親切で一人でも楽しめました。

マンタと泳いだ!! swam with a manta!!

Reviewed by: ksk

Swimming with manta rays in the night sea was one of the things I wanted to do on the Big Island of Hawaii. My husband, who is terrified of swimming and entering the ocean at night, surprisingly enjoyed it as well.

First, we boarded a small boat and headed out to sea. The thrill of the speed was exhilarating! The sunset viewed from the boat was breathtaking. When the sun had completely set and it was dark, we arrived at the observation spot. We all held onto the board and floated while waiting for the manta rays. Although I said we were waiting, the rays were quickly attracted to the light beneath the board and came right up to us. I was so excited to see a manta ray glide just below my belly! The manta rays dancing gracefully in the night sea were truly mystical. I was able to take some great photos of them, and I was very satisfied!

However, as others have mentioned, it can be quite nauseating. The gentle rocking of the board was tougher than seasickness. Even my husband and I, who love thrilling rides, felt a bit queasy. It’s definitely a good idea to take motion sickness medication for peace of mind. A girl in our group looked pretty miserable from the nausea.

On the way back, we enjoyed the starry sky and felt the grandeur of the Big Island. If you’re considering participating in this activity, you absolutely should!

夜の海でマンタと泳ぐ‼私がハワイ島でやりたいことの１つでした。
ただ、泳げなく夜の海に入る事を異常に怖がる旦那。でも、そんな彼でも充分に楽しめたようです。
まず、小さなボートに乗って沖へ出ます。スピード感がスリリング‼ボートから見る夕陽は絶景です。
陽も沈みすっかり暗くなった頃に、観測スポットに到着。みんなでボードに掴まり、プカプカと浮きながらマンタを待ちます。待つと書きましたが、ボードの下の光に引き寄せられ、すぐにマンタが寄ってきます。自分のお腹下スレスレを通るマンタに大興奮♪夜の海で、ゆったりと優雅に舞うマンタは神秘的です。マンタの写真もバッチリ撮れて、大満足!!!
ただし、他の参加者の方も書かれているように、けっこう酔います。船酔いよりも、ボードのゆったりとした揺れがキツかった。絶叫系アトラクションが大好きな私たち夫妻でも、酔いました。酔い止めは飲んだほうが、安心です。一緒のグループだった女の子は、酔ってしまいかなり辛そうでした。
帰りのボートでは、星空が楽しめ、ハワイ島の雄大さを感じられます。
アクティビティに参加するか迷っている方は、絶対にやるべきです！
