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
The transparency is wonderful. 透明度がすばらしい
Reviewed by: シュノーケラー
It was a wonderful tour that met my expectations. The clarity of the ocean was amazing, I got to see many fish, and the food was delicious. There were no Japanese staff, but they accommodated us without any issues. I would like to participate again. For those who dislike being around too many Japanese people in Hawaii, I recommend this tour as there were only a few Japanese participants.
期待通りの、すばらしいツアーでした。海の透明度もすばらしく、たくさんの魚にも会え、食事も美味しかったです。日本人スタッフはいませんが、別段不自由なく対応してくれました。また、参加したいです。ハワイは日本人ばかりでいやだという人には、日本人の参加者は数組しかいなくお勧めです。

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
Fairwind フェアウィンド
Reviewed by: コナコーヒー百姓
I participated in the morning tour on May 22nd. The Fair Wind boat is located about 15-20 minutes south by car from downtown Kona at Keauhou Bay. The morning in Kona is incredibly pleasant, and driving while overlooking the Pacific Ocean is the best. After parking in the designated lot, I checked in. After showing my voucher and signing the waiver, I received my boarding pass and went to get my snorkel. There was a brief explanation before boarding, and then we set sail. Be sure to grab a seat on the second floor and soak up the sun. The sun in Kona is no joke, so make sure to apply sunscreen to avoid getting burned. I spotted a wild dolphin, but it seems that whales can be seen during the season. While enjoying a light breakfast of muffins, cake, Hawaiian juice, and coffee, we arrived at Kealakekua Bay in about 30 minutes. In the morning, the winds are light, so we mostly use the engine, but on windy afternoon tours, we can enjoy quiet sailing with the sails up. Once we arrived, the captain gave us safety instructions and explained how to use the snorkel before we entered the water. The sun was hot, so getting into the water felt like heaven. I was first amazed by the coral reef forest. Since it's a marine life conservation area, the water clarity is outstanding, and you can see the fish very well. What's particularly impressive is that the depth suddenly increases to about 10-20 meters from the coral reef to the inner bay, so when you go out, you can't see the bottom. The sensation of sunlight pouring down to the deep blue bottom is unforgettable. Kealakekua Bay is the famous place where Captain Cook landed, and it's a historically significant bay where white people "discovered" Hawaii in the 18th century. It is said that Captain Cook's ship was surrounded by 1,000 to 1,500 Hawaiian canoes upon landing. The season when they landed was just the time of "peace and restoration," and fortunately, they received a warm welcome. However, three months later, when he tried to leave Hawaii and returned to Kealakekua Bay due to rough seas, the season had already changed, and he was welcomed by 3,000 warriors. They attempted to kidnap an ali'i (chief rank royalty) but failed and were brutally killed. Unfortunately, we cannot land at the Captain Cook monument. After snorkeling, we relaxed while enjoying a barbecue on the boat. We could enjoy water slides and diving, having fun in true Hawaiian style. We set sail around noon and took about 20 minutes to reach Keauhou.
５月２２日の午前ツアーに参加してきました。 コナのダウンタウンから車で１５~２０分南に下った所にあるケアホウ湾にフェアウィンド号はあります。 コナの朝は超気持ちいいし、太平洋を見下ろしながらのドライブは最高。 指定された駐車場に車を止めたら、チェックイン。 バウチャー見せてウェイバーにサインしたら、乗船券を渡されて自分のスノーケルを取りに行きます。 乗船前に簡単な説明があり、いよいよ出港。 ぜひ２階に席をとって太陽をガンガンに浴びましょう。 コナの日差しは洒落にならないので日焼け止めは必ず塗りって火傷しない様に。 野生のイルカを一匹見られましたが、季節にはクジラが見えるみたいです。 マフィン、ケーキ、ハワイアンジュース、コーヒーなどの軽い朝食を食べながら、ケアラケクア湾には大体３０分位で着きます。 午前中は風が弱いので大体はエンジンを使って行きますが、風の強い午後のツアーは帆を張って静かなセーリングを楽しめます。 いよいよ着いたらキャプテンから注意事項、スノーケルの使用法等の説明を受けて、水に入ります。 日差しが暑かったので水に入ると天国の気分。 まずは珊瑚礁の森に驚かされます。 海洋生物保護区なので水の透明度は超抜群で、魚達もよく見えます。 特に凄いのは珊瑚礁から内湾にかけて１０−２０m程は急に深くなっているので沖に出ると底が見えない事です。 太陽の光がディープブルーの底に注いでる感覚は頭に焼き付きます。 ケアラケクア湾はかの有名なキャプテンクックが上陸した場所で、１８世紀に白人がハワイを「発見」した歴史的な湾です。 キャプテンクックの船は上陸時、１０００~１５００ものハワイアンカヌーに囲まれたそうです。 彼らが上陸した季節は丁度「平和と回復」の時期で、幸運にも大変なもてなしを受けたそうですが、 ３ヶ月後ハワイを離れ様とし荒海のため再びケアラケクア湾に戻った時は、ハワイは既に季節は変わっていて、３０００人もの戦士に迎えられたそうです。 彼らはアリイ（酋長ランクの王族）を誘拐しようとして失敗し、無惨にも殺害されました。 残念ながらキャプテンクックのモニュメントには上陸できません。一通りスノーケルを済ました後は、バーベキューを船上で頬張りながらくつろぎます。 ウォータースライダーやダイビング等を楽しめ、ハワイらしく遊べます。 大体お昼過ぎに出港し２０分位かけてケアホウ

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＞
I couldn't see the dolphins... イルカがみれなかった・・・
Reviewed by: かずと
A beautiful boat, American-style breakfast and lunch, and snorkeling in crystal-clear waters! Most participants were Westerners, and we were the only Japanese, but it was actually fun to communicate in broken English. However, I was quite disappointed that we didn't see the dolphins we were hoping for... The captain did his best to find them, but it's just luck, so there's nothing we can do about it. Since I do scuba diving, just being on the surface isn't quite enough for me (laughs).
きれいな船、アメリカンな朝食＆昼食、そして透明度抜群な海でのシュノーケリング！参加者は欧米人がほとんどで、日本人は私たちだけでしたが、かえって片言英語でのコミュニケーションが楽しかったです。ただ、目当てだったイルカが見れなかったのでかなりがっかり・・・。船長さんは一生懸命探してくれたんですけどね。これは運だから仕方が無いです。私はスキューバダイビングをやるんで、やはり水面だけでは物足りないですね（苦笑）

The clarity of the ocean is outstanding! I also saw wild dolphins. 海の透明度ばつぐん！野生イルカもみました。
Reviewed by: たにやん
I participated in the morning tour on August 19. Boarding started at 9 AM. As soon as we boarded and looked down at the sea, we saw a large school of fish. Chased by five big fish, we observed how the school changed shape, which heightened our expectations for this tour. After leaving the school of fish behind, the boat set sail and arrived at our destination in about an hour. The water clarity was outstanding! Even from the surface, we could see the shadows of many fish. Here, the crew provided explanations about snorkeling in English. And then, it was finally time to go into the water. Because the Fair Wind boat is large, the nearby water temperature was cold. However, it was warm in the shallows when we swam with fins, so it was fine. There were many tropical fish in yellow and black, and the coral was incredibly beautiful. I even found an eel hiding in the coral. After swimming for a while, when I started to feel tired, I noticed smoke coming from the boat. Yes, it was the smoke from grilling cheeseburger patties. Tempted by the delicious smell, I returned to the boat and enjoyed a burger before heading back into the water again. Alternatively, you could play on the boat's slide. Adults were jumping in with the kids too. The boat set sail around 12:20 PM for the return trip, but there was still fun to be had on the way back. They lowered about four fishing rods from the boat, and one of them caught a fish. It seemed to be quite a big one, and the excitement grew among everyone, but what came up was surprisingly a slim fish that looked like a larger version of a barracuda. Then, there was a video shoot on the first floor of the boat where everyone was filmed that day. After that wrapped up and as we got closer to the port, we spotted five wild dolphins playing in the waves created by the boat! However, I had left my camera on the second floor of the boat and couldn't capture them on film. Soon we reached the port, and as the waves disappeared, the dolphins swam away. Most people didn’t notice them. We probably saw them for about a minute. If you're lucky, you might see them, so be sure to bring your camera wherever you go. It was truly a highly satisfying tour. In Kona, the wind picks up in the afternoon, and the waves can get a bit rough, so I recommend the morning tour. The crew only speaks English. Besides us, there were two groups of Japanese families spanning three generations and two girls traveling together. Most participants were from Western countries. If you're concerned about sunburn and want to sit on the first floor during the boat ride, make sure to check in by 8:30 AM and line up.
8月19日の午前のツアーに参加しました。乗船開始時間９時。乗船早々に船から海を見下ろすと大きな魚の群れが見えました。大きな魚５匹に追っかけられて、群れがいろんな形に変化する様子が観察でき､がぜんこのツアーへの期待度が高まります。魚の群れを跡に船は出港し、１時間ほどで目的地に到着。海の透明度は抜群!！。海面からも濃い魚影がみえます。ここで船のクルーから英語にてシュノーケル等の説明があります。そして、いよいよ海の中へ。フェアウインドの船は大きいせいか、付近の海水温度は冷たいです。でも、フィンで浅瀬まで泳いでいくとぬくいので大丈夫。黄色とか黒の熱帯魚がたくさんいて､なんといっても珊瑚が大変美しかったです。私は珊瑚の隙間にうつぼもみつけましたよ。ひとしきり泳いで、疲れたなと思ったころに、なにやら船から煙がでています。そう、チーズバーガーのお肉を焼いてる煙なんです。いい匂いにつられて、船に戻り、バーガーをひとしきり食べたら､私たちはもう１度海に戻りましたが､そのまま船のスライダーで遊んでもいいかもしれません。大人も子供と一緒になって飛び込んでましたよ。12時20分頃船は出港。帰路につきますが､この帰路にも楽しみはありました。船から４本ほど魚を釣る竿をおろしているのですが、それに魚がかかりました。けっこう大物みたいで、俄然周囲は盛り上がりましたが､あがってきたのはいがいとしょぼいカマスの大きいバージョンみたいなスリムな魚でした。そして、船の１階で当日みんなを撮影したビデオの撮影会がありました。それが終了して、港も近くなったころ､船の作る波間を遊ぶように５頭の野生のイルカを発見！。が、カメラは船の２階におきっぱでカメラに収めることはできませんでした。ほどなく港につき、波が消えたため､イルカも去っていってしまいました。ほとんどの人が気付いてませんでした。時間にして１分ぐらい見れたでしょうか。運がよければみれるので、どこに行くにもぜひカメラをお供にすることをお忘れなく。ほんと満足度の高いツアーでした。コナは午後は風が吹き、波が少し荒くなるので､午前のツアーをお勧めします。船のクルーは英語のみです。私達のほかに日本人は３世代ファミリーが２組と、女の子同士２人が来ていました。参加者は欧米人が大半です。日焼けが気になり､船の移動中１階に座りたい人は8時30分には受付を済ませ､並びましょう。

I was really anxious about participating alone, but the staff was friendly and I had a great time. The sea was beautiful and clear, and I was able to see a lot of fish, which was wonderful. There was a slide, and both adults and children had a lot of fun jumping off the second level of the boat. I think this is a place where families and couples can enjoy themselves widely.
一人参加で凄く不安だったんですが、スタッフはフレンドリーでとても楽しく過ごせました。海はきれいで透明だし魚も沢山見れてとてもよかったです。滑り台はあるし、船の２階部分から飛び込みをしたりして大人も子供も凄く楽しんでいました。ここはファミリーからカップルまで幅広く楽しめるところだと思います。

This was my first time participating, and I was able to experience the cheerful and warm nature of the locals, as well as the beautiful underwater scenery of Hawaii Island up close. Additionally, the fact that there were few Japanese people added to the appeal. For those who are not good at English, I think they can still feel what others are saying through their intuition. Unlike tours aimed at Japanese people, the buffet-style snacks on the boat felt quite affordable.
今回始めての参加でしたが、現地人の陽気さと暖かさ、ハワイ島の
綺麗な海中を身近に拝見できます。また、日本人が少ないのも魅力です。
英語が全くだめな人は相手の言っている事をフィーリングで感じれるか
と思います。
日本人相手のツアーと違い、船上のビュッフェスタイルの軽食など
割安感がありました。

Snorkeling on the Big Island ビッグアイランドのシュノーケリング
Reviewed by: 匿名希望
Aside from our family of five, everyone else was from abroad. It was great to choose a tour with very few Japanese people. We were able to communicate in simple English with an elderly couple from America, honeymooning couples, the captain, and the crew, and the kids seemed to enjoy it too. Although not much Japanese was spoken, they provided explanations in Japanese for snorkeling precautions. The lunch sandwiches were delicious and very American. Since the age limit for children was up to 17 years old, my sons, who are 15 and 17 and quite big, could also enjoy it at a lower price. I didn't swim, but there was plenty of shade, so I wasn't troubled. The timing was just right, allowing us to enjoy our favorite activities in the afternoon as well. If I have the chance to go again, I will participate.
私たち家族５人以外は全員 外国の方です。あまり日本人のいないツアーを選んだのでとてもよかったです。アメリカからこられた老夫婦や ハネムーンのカップル キャプテン クルーと楽しく片言の英語でコミュニケーションができ 子ども達も楽しんだようです。あまり日本語は通じませんが シュノーケリングの注意事項は日本語の説明をくれます。ランチのサンドイッチも アメリカ的でおいしく頂きました。子ども年齢の適応が１７歳まででしたので １５歳、１７歳の大きな体の息子たちも安く楽しめましす。私は泳がなかったのですが 日陰もちゃんとあり 困りませんでした。時間が丁度良く 午後からも自分の好きなことが楽しめます。また行くことがあったら参加します。

Snorkeling in Hawaii ハワイでのシュノーケリング
Reviewed by: 匿名希望
We boarded the Body Glove boat from the Kailua Pier in Kona. Looking around, I noticed there were no Japanese people. Aside from our family of five and a family that seemed to be from the Middle East, almost everyone else was white. I tried to communicate with the white family sitting next to us and an elderly couple, but I could only catch fragmented words I learned long ago. From what I gathered, the husband had been to Osaka for business. They were on a trip from the mainland U.S. to Hawaii on a ship anchored offshore. I reflected that I need to take English conversation classes when I return home.
Before long, we arrived at our destination, Pawai Bay. We were lent masks and fins and entered the water. Floating on the surface and peering down, I saw a variety of beautiful fish and some delicious-looking sea urchins. It was amazing, and after drifting for a while, I returned to the boat and devoured a sandwich filled with ham and salad, feeling very satisfied.
It was my first time snorkeling, and it was an experience that I could easily get addicted to. By the way, I really want that stick-like float!
コナのカイルア桟橋からボデイ・グローブ号に乗船。周りを見渡すが,日本人がいない。
われわれ家族5人と中近東の方らしい家族以外は，ほとんどが白人。隣に座った白人の家族や老夫婦とコミュニケーションを図ろうとするが,とぎれとぎれに昔習った単語が聞き取れるだけ，推測するところ，ご主人はビジネスで大阪に来たことがあるとのこと。沖合いに停泊中の船でアメリカ本土からハワイに観光に来たとのこと。帰国したら英会話を習わなければと反省。
そうこうするうちに，目的地のパヴァイベイに到着。マスクと足ひれを貸してもらって，海中へ。フロートに身を任せて，海中を覗き込むと，色とりどりのきれいな魚，魚，魚，それにおいしそうなウニ。これはすごいとしばらく海面を漂って後，船に戻ってハム，サラダを一杯はさんだサンドウィッチをほおばり，大満足。
はじめてのシュノーケリングでしたが，やみつきになりそうな体験でした。それにしても，あの棒状のフロート，欲しい。

Since I went a bit out of season, there were relatively few guests participating, and I was able to relax comfortably on the boat. The boat was also clean, and having a shower was a nice touch. The sea was calm that day, and I could spend the whole day snorkeling and just lounging on the boat, allowing me to forget the hectic life in Japan and unwind.
少し時期はずれに行ったので参加してるお客さんも割と少なく船の中快適に寛げました。船もきれいでシャワーもついてるのがありがたかったです。この日は海が穏やかで一日中シュノーケリングと船の上でボーっとすごせて日ごろのせわしない日本の生活を忘れてのんびりできました。
