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＞

Volcano from the sky 空からボルケーノ

Reviewed by: 東京　ミク

This was an activity I had wanted to experience for the past two or three years, and I finally got to fulfill my wish.

I wanted to see the scene of lava flowing into the sea, but since it's a natural phenomenon, it can't be helped.

The helicopter noise I had imagined was not bothersome, so it was an enjoyable experience.

２,３年前から一度体験したかったアクティビティでしたがやっと念願かないました。

溶岩が海に流れ落ちる場面を見たかったですが、自然現象なのでやむを得ないですね。

想像をしていたヘリの騒音は気にならなかったので楽しい体験でした。

It was magnificent. 壮大でした

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The helicopter was safer and more comfortable than I expected. It was fine even with a little wind.

The staff's service was very kind, allowing me to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.

Throughout the journey, there was a detailed explanation by the pilot, Jason, but unfortunately, it was only in English, and I could only understand parts of it. Since conversations could only be done through the microphone, even if I said, "Wow, the volcano is amazing," the person next to me couldn't hear it.

That aside, the scenery was magnificent, dynamic, and beautiful. You can see the main points of the Big Island in about two hours, so even if you don't fully understand the explanations, I think it's a very worthwhile attraction.

　
　へりは思ったより安全で、快適でした。ちょっとくらい風が吹いても大丈夫。

　スタッフのサービスはとても親切で、安心して楽しむ事ができました。

　全行程でパイロットのジェイソンさんによる丁寧な解説がありましたが、残念ながら英語のみで私は部分的に分かる程度でした。マイクを通してしか会話ができないので、「わ~火山がすごいね~」とか言っても、隣の人に聞こえないのでした。

　そんなことはさておき、風景は壮大で、躍動的で、美しいハワイ島の主要なポイントを約２時間で見れるため、解説があまり分からなくても、参加する価値がある、とてもいいアトラクションだと思いました。

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

An even more beautiful sea. さらに、さらに綺麗な海

Reviewed by: ゆか

We participated with our family on October 9. The sea in Hawaii Island is more beautiful than that of Oahu, and it's even more stunning than the White Sands and Keauhou in Hawaii Island, making it impossible not to get in. The boat is a catamaran, so there’s no rocking, and the kids jumped in dozens of times from the slide and diving board. It was also great to have fresh water showers available. The location is just a three-minute walk from the Sheraton where we were staying. I highly recommend it.

１０／０９に家族で参加してきました。
ハワイ島の海はオアフ島より綺麗なのですが、ハワイ島のホワイト・サンドやケアウホウよりも更に綺麗な海で、入らずにはいられません。船もカタマランなので揺れることも無く、滑り台やジャンプ台など、子供たちは何十回と飛び込んでいましたし、真水のシャワーがあるのもよかっです。
場所はシェラトンに宿泊していたので、歩いて３分といったところです。お薦めします。

Captain Zodiac Kealakekua Bay Snorkeling Tour & South Kona Sea Cave Expedition

Captain Cook trip on Captain Zodiac

Reviewed by: David and JoAnn Judd

If you like snorkelling mixed with a little history, this trip is a must. We have snorkelled all over Hawaii and this is as good as it gets. The water is crystal clear, the coral is beautiful, and the fish, turtles, and spinner dolphins just complete a perfect day! Captain Ken tells you all about the monument and the events that led to Captain Cook's demise. As we arrived at Captain Cook, we found ourselves in the middle of a pod of well over 150 spinner dolphins who were playing in the area that day. They remained there the entire day! And on the ride home, we had a lot of fun mixed with several stops at caves or other points of interest where Ken would tell you the 'story' or explain the legend! This was just a great trip to a beautiful location. We will do it again the next time we am on the Big Island!

This was my second time in Hawaii, and I participated in snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay. Unfortunately, the weather was unusually cloudy for Hawaii that day. I was worried about whether I would be able to enjoy the beautiful sea, but I was able to enjoy it nonetheless.

By the way, I tend to get very seasick, and that was my only concern, but I managed to get through the trip without any seasickness.

I have participated in snorkeling several times in Japan and Hawaii, but this was the most beautiful and enjoyable experience. Since it was a memorable trip, I’m glad I was able to create good memories. I definitely want to participate again next time.

　今回2回目のハワイで、ケアラケクワ湾の主ノーケリングに参加しました。残念ながら当日はハワイでは非常にめずらしい曇り空でした。当日は曇りで、きれいな海が見られるのか心配でしたがきれいな海を楽しむ事ができました。

Reviewed by: かえるぴょん

The parking lot designated from the Hilton Hotel where we stayed was quite a distance away, but the traffic flowed smoothly, and we arrived without getting lost and with plenty of time to spare. After checking in at the counter, we enjoyed some delicious coffee that was prepared while we waited for departure.

Once we set sail, we moved along the blue sea (at quite a speed!) next to the lava fields. There were just over ten participants, and only two groups were Japanese, including us. When we arrived at the spot, the guide explained the swimming area, and everyone entered the water at their leisure.

My English is at a middle school level, but the guide explained things with gestures, so there were no problems. It was my first time snorkeling, and although I was a bit scared in the very clear water, I quickly became captivated by the colorful, beautiful fish, and time flew by.

After swimming at two spots, we enjoyed BBQ hamburgers grilled on the boat, which left us both satisfied in our stomachs and hearts. We also visited several sightseeing spots and took lots of photos. The restroom on the boat was spacious and clean, making it easy to change into our swimsuits, which I personally appreciated. This is a great tour where you can see various aspects of the Big Island in just a few hours. I would love to participate again when I go back to Hawaii!

私の英語は中学生レベルですが、添乗員の方がジェスチャーを交えて説明してくれたので問題ありませんでした。

Enjoy the natural beauty of the ocean on the Big Island of Hawaii! ハワイ島の海の自然を満喫！

Reviewed by: DEXTE-K

Since it was a trip using a rental car, I had no trouble with transportation or exploring places. However, the meeting point at Keauhou Bay is located deep down a road, so it's advisable for first-timers to check a map in advance.

As for the English tour, there was absolutely no need to worry, as everyone pointed out. All the staff were friendly and spoke slowly and clearly, making it easy for me, who isn't very good at English, to understand even the jokes. They prepared the snorkeling gear before we boarded, and then we set sail.

At the designated spots, we were able to swim freely over the coral reefs in two bays suitable for snorkeling. The water clarity was high, probably around 30 meters. I was able to see various tropical fish, including butterfly fish. I had hoped to encounter sea turtles based on prior information, but unfortunately, that dream didn't come true. However, I did have an encounter with a large octopus about a meter long.

For lunch, we enjoyed freshly made big hamburgers and fruits, and I relaxed on the deck while sunbathing. The waves were gentle, so I don't think there was much worry about seasickness. Additionally, there is an option for a diving tour, but even just snorkeling and skin diving were thoroughly enjoyable.

On the return cruise, we were guided past the Captain Cook monument and the coffee belt area of Kona, as well as the nearby Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park, allowing us to enjoy a bit of sightseeing of the Big Island from the sea. The English during that time was at a natural speed, and I could only grasp the content vaguely. It might be good to prepare in advance.

Most impressively, we were able to encounter wild dolphins and even saw dolphin jumps. It became a beautiful and joyful memory.

This is a highly recommended tour where you can fully enjoy the nature of the Big Island. However, when the weather is nice, don't forget to take measures against UV rays.

レンタカーを用いての旅でしたので移動や場所の探索に困りませんでしたが、集合場所のケアホウ湾は道の奥まったところにあり、初めての方は事前に地図等でよく確認しておいたほうがよいでしょう。

また英語ツアーですが、皆さんがご指摘した通り全く心配ありませんでした。スタッフの方々すべてがフレンドリーで、丁寧な対応でゆっくりと話してくださったので、英語のあまり得意でない私にもジョークも含めてよくわかりました。シュノーケリンググッズを乗船前に準備していただき、いざ出航となります。

案内された目的地では、シュノーケリングに適した湾に２箇所ほどで思う存分サンゴ礁の上を泳ぐことができました。透明度も高く３０ｍほどはあったと思います。バタフライフィッシュをはじめ熱帯地区特有の様々な魚を観る事ができました。事前情報から海亀と出会えることを期待してましたが、残念ながら夢かなわず…。しかしながら、１ｍほどの大きなタコと遭遇することができました。

ランチには焼きたてのビッグハンバーガーとフルーツをおいしくいただき、日光浴をデッキの上で楽しみました。穏やかな波でしたし、船酔いの心配も特にないと思います。また、オプションでダイビングも１本楽しめるツアーですが、シュノーケリングとスキンダイブだけでも存分に楽しめるツアーです。

クルージングの帰路では、キャプテンクックの記念碑やコナ地区のコーヒーベルト地帯とその近くのプウホヌア・オ・ホナウナウ国立歴史公園の案内があり、海からのちょっとしたハワイ島観光も楽しめました。そのときの英語はナチュラルスピードで、なんとなくでしか内容の説明はわかりませんでしたが…。あらかじめ予習しておくといいかも知れません。

そしてなんといっても印象的でしたのが、野生のイルカと出会うことができ、ドルフィンジャンプも見ることが出来たことです。綺麗な嬉しく楽しい思い出となりました。

これぞハワイ島という程に自然を満喫できるお勧めのツアーです。でも、天気がいいときは、紫外線対策を忘れないように…。

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

an experience of a lifetime!

Reviewed by: ashley

This was an amazing experience to witness. You are probably five minutes off the shore by the sheraton resort and are left to swim with huge manta rays that swim right up next to you. It is a little scary at first but after the first few minutes you get used to it. The staff on the boat are very friendly and pretty humorous. You definitly get your moneys worth on this activity because you are in the water for about 45 minutes and they dont let you get in until a manta ray shows up so your time with the manta rays isnt wasted. The only bad things I have to say about this activity which was kind of a personal problem was that I got stung in the butt my something. It hurt pretty bad but the stinging went away in about a hour. I dont think anyone else had this problem though so I wouldnt be too worried about it. I would definitly sign up for this activity is I was you!

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＞

Experience the vastness of the Big Island of Hawaii! ハワイ島の広さを実感！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was picked up from the hotel in Waikoloa, and although I was told that a confirmation couldn't be made, I was able to ride in a helicopter piloted by the only Japanese pilot (Mr. Mochizuki) whom I had requested via email in advance. Mr. Mochizuki provided explanations in both languages to the American couple accompanying us and to us, which made it very enjoyable.

It was my first experience in a helicopter, and there was no vibration, with glass all the way to the floor. I was able to see the lava flowing into the ocean at Kilauea Volcano, and it was amusing to see the cows grazing on the vast Parker Ranch appearing as tiny dots. I was surprised to hear about the elementary school that was affected by a tsunami, located on top of an 800-meter cliff in Waipi'o Valley, and we got very close to a waterfall that has a drop of 1,000 meters, allowing us to fully enjoy the majestic nature.

Waikoloa is a dry area with brown lava land, but as we got closer to Hilo, we experienced sudden rain and saw much greenery, making for a wonderful experience of the vastness and climate differences of the Big Island in a short time! (Driving around takes a whole day, right?) Additionally, on the way back, although we had to wait for a few minutes, we could purchase the video from that day that was on board the helicopter.

ワイコロアのホテルからピックアップしてもらい、確約は出来ないと言われていましたが事前に直接メールでお願いしていた唯一の日本人パイロット（望月さん）の操縦するヘリコプターに乗せていただき、望月氏が同乗のアメリカ人カップルと我々に2カ国語で交互に説明して下さったのでとても楽しかったです。
ヘリコプターは初体験でしたが、震動もなく足下までガラス張りなので、キラウエア火山では海に流れ落ちる溶岩を見ることが出来、広大なパーカー牧場では放牧されている牛たちがまるで点のように小さいのがおかしく、ワイピオバレーでは800ｍの絶壁の上にあった小学校が津波の被害にあった話に驚き、落差1000ｍもあるという滝のすぐ近くまで寄ってくださるなど雄大な自然を堪能できました。
ワイコロアは乾燥地帯で溶岩の茶色い土地ばかりですが、ヒロに近くなると突然の雨で緑も多くハワイ島の広さと気候の違いなど素晴らしい体験を短時間で出来ました！（車で周遊するのは1日掛かりですよね）
また、帰りには数十分待ちますが、ヘリコプターに搭載されていた当日のビデオを購入することも出来ます。

The meeting point was in a perfect location, just a five-minute walk from the Sheraton Keauhou Bay where we were staying. The catamaran was still new and very beautiful.

There were two of us and one other group of Japanese participants; everyone else was foreign. My husband is experienced with snorkeling, but I had only swum in a pool (where I could stand), so I was a bit scared at first. However, after being given a float, I was able to see many fish and was incredibly impressed! After seeing the lava tunnel, we dropped anchor in front of the Captain Cook monument, which apparently cannot be accessed by car. I was able to snorkel again. When we got out of the water, there was a wonderful smell...

It was the barbecue being cooked by the staff. We also enjoyed some wine, and the hamburgers were huge—probably three times the size of Japanese patties. It was a pleasant voyage with the sea breeze. Neither of us speaks English, but we had no trouble at all and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We would love to participate again.

I am nearsighted, so I usually wear regular snorkeling glasses, but I could hardly see anything. However, this time I was able to borrow glasses specifically for nearsightedness for the first time. Thanks to the captain who helped me find the right pair, my wife and I were able to dive (just floating in the waves) and saw amazing things. There were fish swimming right there! It was so moving!

While seeing the fish was great, the contrast of the catamaran sailing towards the horizon and the quiet navigation to the lava remnants (I didn’t understand the explanations since they were in English...) was wonderful. When the waves were calm, the feeling of racing at full speed across that sea made me feel exhilarated, and I think I forgot all about worldly matters.

Also, while the interaction with nature was nice, the barbecue prepared by the staff on the boat was very delicious. I definitely want to participate again next time!

This is my second time participating in the snorkeling tour organized by Fair Wind. Last time, I joined the morning cruise for snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, but this time I decided to join the Flukes Deluxe Snorkel/Scuba Cruise, which I had been interested in for a while. Both tours take you to Kealakekua Bay, where the water is clear and you can encounter many fish. The Flukes cruise has a new and luxurious feel to the boat, and it takes you to the southern waters at quite a speed, so I think you can enjoy not just snorkeling but also the feeling of cruising at a resort. The snorkeling point for the morning cruise is just one location (in front of Captain Cook), but the Flukes takes you to two spots. The caves that the Flukes takes you to are very mystical. We were fortunate enough to swim alongside a sea turtle. Fair Wind's snorkeling tours also provide prescription snorkeling masks, so those who usually wear glasses can participate without any worries.

A trip to Hawaii Island without a rental car for two women. We arrived at the Fair Wind office after about a 15-minute taxi ride from Royal Kona Resort (including tip, it was $20). When we handed over the voucher at the check-in counter, we received our boarding passes. We just needed to present those when boarding.

The day before, I had severe seasickness during the manta night snorkeling, so I was quite hesitant about getting on the boat. However, it turned out to be a larger boat than I expected, and I didn't experience any seasickness. The cruise to the snorkeling spots was fantastic, with beautiful views and a refreshing breeze.

All participants, except for an elderly Japanese couple, were foreigners. Although Japanese was hardly understood, there was no problem as snorkeling gear in the right sizes was provided on the boat.

For breakfast, there were croissants, eggs, fruits, yogurt, and oatmeal. The carrot juice was refreshing and delicious. There were two snorkeling spots. The water was deep, but the visibility was high, and we could see many fish. The staff guided us even into the caves, which was very satisfying.

After swimming at the two spots, the hamburger for lunch was thick and filling. It was so delicious that I finished it all. We were thrilled to see dolphins both going and coming back. I was moved by their jumping and swimming around the boat.

On the way back, we stopped by Captain Cook and received a history lesson. (I only understood a little English, so I didn't grasp much, but it was amusing.) Among the optional tours I participated in during this trip (Atlantis, manta night snorkeling, Hawaii Island day tour), I think this was the best tour. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii Island again, I would definitely like to participate.

前日、マンタナイトシュノーケリングで船酔いがひどく、船に乗るのにかなり
抵抗がありましたが、思ったより大きな船で、船酔いもなくシュノーケリングスポットまで、素晴らしい景色を眺め、とても気持ちいい風に当たりながらクルーズはサイコーでした。
参加者は老夫婦の日本人以外は全て外国の方でした。
日本語はほとんど通じませんが、シュノーケリング道具もサイズの合うものを船の上で用意してもらえるので、全く問題はありませんでした。
朝食はクロワッサンや、卵、フルーツ、ヨーグルト、オートミール等がありました。
にんじんジュース？がさっぱりしていておいしかったです。
シュノーケリングスポットは2箇所。
水深が深い所でしたが、透明度は高く、たくさんの魚を見る事ができました。
スタッフさんが洞窟の中まで案内してくれたりと、大満足でした。
2箇所泳いだ後の、昼食ハンバーガーはお肉が厚くて食べ応えあり。
おいしくて全部平らげちゃいました。
行きも帰りも、イルカを見る事ができ、大興奮。船の周りをジャンプして泳ぐ姿に感動しました。
帰りがけに、キャプテンクックへ寄り、歴史の説明を受けました。
（私は少ししか英語がわからないので、あまり理解できませんでしたが・笑）
今回の旅行でオプショナルツアーに参加した中で、（アトランティス、マンタナイトシュノーケリング、ハワイ島一日ツアー）一番良かったと思えるツアーでした。
もしまたハワイ島に行く機会があればぜひ参加したいと思います。

ハワイ島　シュノーケルクルーズ　SUP体験もできる充実ツアー！貸し切りプランあり＜午前／朝食・昼食付き＞ by フラカイ号

Excited about the luxurious ship! 豪華な船に大興奮！

Reviewed by: NW

I enjoyed snorkeling at the famous Kealakekua Bay, known for its high transparency. Before leaving the country, I completed my reservation and payment online, and I was impressed by how convenient things have become.

On the day of the trip, my friend and I were the only Japanese participants, and I was worried since we couldn't speak English. However, the crew members were very kind, and their bright smiles reassured me even without words.

The boat was larger than usual, and the facilities, including fresh water showers, were excellent! Moreover, it was fantastic that the boat moved quickly over the water with minimal rocking. Watching the marine blue surface of the sea under the sun while feeling the sea breeze washed away my usual fatigue.

We were also lucky to spot dolphins from a distance along the way.

For lunch, we had a BBQ on board. The hamburger after a swim was delicious! I enjoyed it with my favorite drink until I was full.

When I encountered fish I didn't recognize, the staff kindly brought out a guidebook and showed me pictures.

I definitely want to participate again. Thank you, Alan!

今回は透明度が高くて有名なケアラケクア湾でシュノーケルを楽しんできました。出国前からオンラインで予約申し込み＆支払いを済ませ、世の中便利になったものだと感心したものです。
当日は日本人が私と友人の２人のみ、英語が話せないので心配になりましたが、乗船スタッフ皆さんがとても優しく、言葉が通じなくても明るい笑顔に安心しました。
船は一般的なものより大きく真水のシャワーなど設備もすばらしかったです！また、なによりも揺れが少なく高速で海上を移動できるのが最高です。太陽の下でマリーンブルーの海面を眺めながら潮風に吹かれると、普段の疲れが一掃されます。
途中からイルカの姿も遠目に見られ、とてもラッキーでした。
昼食は船上でバーベＱランチです。ひと泳ぎした後のハンバーガーはこれまた美味しい！好みのドリンクと一緒にお腹一杯いただきました。
わからない魚はスタッフさんが、親切に図鑑を持ち出し写真をみせてくれました。
またまた、ぜひ参加したいと思います。
アランちゃん、ありがとう！

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

Participate in the afternoon. 午後のに参加

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

On the first day of my arrival on the Big Island, I participated in this tour. After renting a car at Kona Airport, I headed straight to the meeting point, arriving at 1 PM to prepare and board the boat at 2 PM. It was raining, but we were still able to snorkel. An hour after boarding, we reached a fairly deep spot near the Captain Cook monument. Due to the bad weather, not much was captured on the underwater camera, but I was able to see fish with my own eyes. As for the snacks, we were served pineapple, oranges, potato chips, and drinks. I wasn't sure if there was a paid drink menu, but I was able to order something casually and they brought it to me. In this tour, we were the only Japanese participants. There were no staff members who spoke Japanese. It felt like being in a foreign party, as the foreigners on board were happily chatting away.

ハワイ島に着いた初日に参加。コナ空港でレンタカーを借りてすぐに集合地に向かい１３時につき準備をして１４時に乗船できました。雨がふっていましたが、シュノーケルできました。乗船して１時間後、キャプテンクックの記念碑のそばでかなり深い場所でした。天気が悪かったので水中カメラで撮ったものはあまり写っていませんが、肉眼で魚を見ることができました。軽食というだけあって、パイナップルとオレンジ、ポテトチップスと飲み物がでました。飲み物は有料メニューがあるのかないのか不明でしたが、適当に頼んだらだしてもらえます。このツアーに日本人は私達しかいませんでした。スタッフも日本語が話せる人もいません。外国のパティーにでもきたような位、乗船中は外国人が楽しそうに談話してます。

Fair Wind Cruises フェアウインド・クルーズ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I went to Hawaii Island for the first time and participated in snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay. The guidebooks say it's better in the morning, but I joined the afternoon tour and had plenty of fun. The crew is all foreign, so there might be some language barriers, but they are experienced, so there's no need to worry. The atmosphere was great, and I really enjoyed it. The sea was calm, and if you're lucky, you might catch some fish along the way, and there’s a chance of encountering dolphins while snorkeling. Unfortunately, I didn't see any when I went. The boat was comfortable as well. It's a large catamaran, so I didn't see anyone getting seasick.

今回はじめてハワイ島に行きケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングに参加しました。ガイドブックなどには午前中のほうがいいとかいてありましたが、私が参加したのは午後のツアーでしたが、じゅうぶん楽しめました。クルーは全て外人なのでやや言葉に困るかもしれませんがみななれているので心配は要らないでしょう。のりがよくとてもたのしめました。海もしずかで途中うんがよければ魚もつれるし、シュノーケル中にイルカに出くわすこともあるそうです。残念ながら私が行ったときにはあえませんでしたが。船も快適です。大型のカタマラン船なので船酔いしている人はみかけませんでした。

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＞

You can enjoy boldly. 大胆に楽しめます

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as two families. Since it was an English tour, I was a bit anxious, but with the voucher, there were no issues at the reception. Once on board, the staff was kind, which made me feel at ease. The boat anchored in about 8 meters of water. Although I started snorkeling feeling a bit overwhelmed at first, I gradually got used to it and began to see fish and even dive a little...

The kids boldly played by jumping into the sea from the second deck of the boat using a slide and diving from the deck (4-5 meters). The parents also returned to their childhood and jumped in as well.

There are two episodes related to the camera...
First, a friend's husband dove from the deck with a camera! When he came up from underwater, he had a cut on his forehead... the camera had hit him. Fortunately, the injury wasn't too serious, but the camera was broken. For some reason, we all ended up laughing... everything becomes fun when you're here.

Second, my husband came down the stairs from the deck with ease. However, he slipped at the end! The camera he was holding disappeared into the sea. But the staff dove in and found the camera for us. We were so moved. Thank you very much.

２家族で参加しました。英語のツアーなので不安でしたがバウチャーがあれば、受付で困ることはありませんよ。乗船してからもスタッフが優しいので安心でした。船は停泊したのは、水深８Ｍ位のところ。シュノーケルを始めたもののアップアップしてしまい始めは不安でしたが慣れてくるとお魚を見たりちょっと潜ってみたり・・・
子供たちは、船の２Ｆデッキから滑り台で海へ飛び込んだり、デッキ（４~５Ｍ）から海へ飛び込んだり、大胆に遊んでいました。親たちも童心に帰って飛び込んでみたりしちゃいました。
そこでカメラにまつわる２つのエピソードが・・・
その１．友人のご主人は、カメラを持ってデッキからダイビング！！水中から顔を上げるとおでこに血が・・・・カメラが当たってしまったのです。けがは、それほどでもなったのですかカメラが壊れてしまったのです。でもなぜか大笑い・・ここにいると何でも楽しくなってしまいます。
その２．私の夫は、軽快にデッキから階段を下りてきました。ところが最後にツル！
手に持っていたカメラが海のそこへ~~消えていきました。ところが、スタッフのかたが潜ってカメラを探してきてくれたのです。もう大感激でした。ありがとうございました。

The children were very happy. 子どもが大喜びでした

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

It was disappointing that we couldn't see dolphins, but the snorkeling was a huge hit with the kids. They especially loved the slide and diving from the boat, which were very thrilling, and they tried it multiple times. Although it was an English tour, my family, who only speaks Japanese, had almost no problems.

イルカに会えなかったのは残念でしたが、シュノーケリングは子どもが大喜びでした。特に船の上からのすべり台や飛び込みはとてもスリルがあって何度も挑戦していました。英語ツアーだけれど、日本語しかしゃべれないうちの家族でもほとんど問題なかったです。

Regarding the Body Glove snorkeling tour... ボディーグルーブのシュノーケルツアーに関して・・・

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Our family consisted of our youngest child, a 4-year-old girl, and two boys aged 13 and 15, along with my spouse. We had a decent time. I'm not sure if it was because it was a Monday, but there were about 30 participants in total. The breakfast pastries and fruits, as well as the ham and cheese sandwiches for lunch, were plentiful enough that there were leftovers at the end. I thought the flavors were quite American and a bit bland, but my son really enjoyed the breakfast muffins, and my wife loved the vegetables served at lunch and went back for seconds. The deck was not crowded with that number of people, which felt just right.

After about a 30-minute sail, we arrived at our destination and started snorkeling. The instructions were only in English, but I assumed that the safety information was all that mattered, so I think as long as you have some common sense, you should be fine. The only warning was that "fins should not be worn until just before entering the water," and there were no other particular issues. My 4-year-old daughter, who dislikes getting her face wet, was floating with a life jacket. The three men dove down to about 4 meters to see the fish, but unfortunately, the fish were scarce... (this might have been specific to that day?). This was the biggest downside. I don't know how Hanauma is these days, but I don't think there's much difference (the water wasn't murky like at Hanauma). There was one more thing: the man steering the boat was completely unfriendly. The other crew members were all nice (no worries there). Also, if you're prone to seasickness, it's advisable to take medication beforehand. The ham and cheese sandwiches after snorkeling might be heavy for some people... but I still felt like I wanted to participate again.

我が家は一番下の子が４歳の女の子から上は１３、１５歳の男の子、そして夫婦で参加いたしました。それなりに楽しめましたよ。月曜だったと言う事なのかよくわかりませんが、参加者は総勢３０名くらいだったかな？朝食のパン類果物類、昼のハムやチーズのサンドウィッチも最後には余る位余裕でした。味の方は私はアメリカらしい大味だな~と思っていましたが、息子は朝食のマフィンを家内は昼食で出た野菜類を痛く気に入っておかわりをしていました。デッキはその人数だと混雑していず、丁度良い感じでした。
出航後、約３０分の航海で目的地に着きシュノーケルをスタートします。案内は英語だけでしたが、安全に関する話が全てだろうと思っていたので、ある程度常識が有ればOKだと思います。注意されたのは「足ひれは海に入る直前まで着けない」の１点で後は特にありませんでした。４歳の娘も顔に水がつくのが嫌いなくせに、ライフジャケットで浮かんでいました。男たち３人は４mくらいの所まで潜って魚たちを見に行きましたが、なにせ、魚影が薄い・・・（この日に限ってのことなのかも？）これが一番の欠点でした。最近のハナウマがどうか知りませんが、大差はないと思います。（ハナウマの様に水は濁ってませんよ）後もう一つありました。船の舵を取ってるおじさんが全く愛想がない。他のクルーはいい人ばかりです（心配なく）。それから船に弱い人は薬は飲んでおいた方が良い場合が有ります。シュノーケル後のハムやチーズのサンドは人に依ってはヘビーかもしれませんから・・でも、また参加したいという気持ちが沸いてきました。

It became a precious memory. 貴重な思い出になりました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

It was the best day for me, as someone who loves snorkeling. The water wasn't as cold as I expected, and the clarity was great, allowing me to see various types of fish. There are quite a few species native to the Hawaiian Islands, so I recommend it to anyone who has experienced snorkeling in other countries.

Also, when entering the water from the boat, you can use stairs, so there's no need to jump off the boat, making it easy for beginners to get into the sea. While waiting to board the boat, I saw a small green turtle swimming by the jetty, so I was hoping to see more turtles, but since the snorkeling spot at Kealakekua Bay doesn't have a beach, turtles don't come close, which was a bit disappointing.

However, I was lucky enough to casually look up while floating in the sea and saw a White-tailed Tropicbird gracefully flying by. It's a bird that you don't often get a chance to see, so this was also a precious memory.

シュノーケルの大好きな私にとって最高の一日でした。
思っていた程水が冷たくありませんでしたし、水の透明度もよくて、色々な種類の魚が見られました。ハワイ諸島固有の魚が結構いるので、他の国でシュノーケルを経験した人にもお勧めです。
また、船から海に入るときは階段を利用できるのでボートから飛び降りる事もなく、初心者も簡単に海に入れます。
ボートへの乗船を待っている間、ジェッティで小さなグリーンタートルが泳いでいましたので、もっとカメを見られるかと期待していたのですが、シュノーケルをするケアラケクア湾はビーチがないので近くにカメはこないという事で、海の中ではカメにあえなかったのがちょっと残念でした。
ただ、ラッキーな事に、海でプカプカしながら何気なく上を見たら、シラオネッタイチョウ（White-tailed Tropicbird）が優雅に飛んで行くのが見えました。なかなか見るチャンスのない鳥なのでこれも貴重な思い出の一つです。
