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

Sea Paradise Sunset Sail-NO Sailing!

Reviewed by: Mae

There was no sailing on this trip.The Manta rays are close to where the boat goes in the water. I thought we would have a nice sail while the sun was setting and then get in the water but that was not the case. This experience was both boring and exciting. You are in the water for 45 minutes lying flat with arms outstretched holding onto the handle on one of several connected "light boards"while you have your snorkeled face in the water, and are balancing a noodle under your ankles. You brush up against the people on either side of you.The motion of the ocean gets to be a bit much for many people. I heard a crew member say to another "at least no one puked this trip". I have never been sea sick but started feeling queasy and did get out with about 10 minutes to go. You can raise your arm and be escorted back to the boat at any time.You are provided with a half wet suit but still you get chilled. If you have any shoulder problems I would think twice about doing this trip. All that being said it was so cool when the Mantas did show up and swim right past you! There weren't many but I got some good video and stills with a camera that I borrowed from a friend. Maybe there is a better time of day or year to see more mantas? If you're positioned on a middle light board you have time to get the camera set because you will hear the people at the ends of the the light boards ooh and aah and cheer! I probably would not do this trip again but notice I didn't say never! The boat was nice , the crew was fine.

Easiest snorkeling we've ever done

Reviewed by: Dave W

This is an amazing experience and it's so easy, you barely need to know how to swim. You just lay w/ your face in the water and the mantas come to you. Actually they come to feed on plankton which are attracted by the lights that the crew shine in the water. It's a super-cool experience and the crew on our boat were awesome. Highly recommended.

Big Island Afternoon Whale Watch Tour from Kona - Body Glove Cruises [Dec - Mar]

Where are the whales?

Reviewed by: Disappointed

I have been on a whale watching tour in the past and the captain took us directly to where the whales were and we were so close and able to get great pictures for the entire tour. That was not the case here; we were constantly looking for whales and all we ever saw was the “blow” and some splashing from quite a distance. It was very disappointing. I would think these guys would know where to go since they do this everyday. We were in the boat for several hours and never saw anything to identify this as a good trip! I would have expected them to take us somewhere to see the whales, we seemed to hang out in the same area just hoping a whale would show up!
The boat was very nice and the people were nice too but the whales were missing!! This was the beginning of February, isn’t that the best time?

We got to see lots of whales. We saw whales breach & fin slap. We saw a baby calf very closely & she looked right at us. Then, the calf swam under our boat as the mom followed & then the huge escort male whale followed. Definitely was a trip to remember! Both the captain Chuck & lifeguard aboard were excited to see the whales & were very excited to share their knowledge! Our captain took us north away from all of the other boats. Which made us feel very connected to the whales & not like tourists.

I was able to see whales not just once, but multiple times. I was very satisfied to see a mother and her calf as well.
During the cruise, snacks and soft drinks were provided for free. While sitting outside, the staff asked what drinks we wanted and brought them to us.

It was a stable day, so I didn't need any motion sickness medication. I drove to the location with a rental car, and it was easy to find; it's at a corner. You can park on the shoulder of the road.

1回だけでなく何度もクジラを見ることが出来ました。親子もみれて大変満足です。

The weather hadn't been very good until the day before, but we were blessed with great weather on the day itself, so I didn't experience any seasickness without taking any medication. We saw several whales in the distance, including their tails, backs, and spouts. Just when I thought that was all we would see, there was suddenly a series of breaches right in front of us! It was incredibly powerful, and all the passengers were very excited.

It was a satisfying whale watching experience.

I encountered a mother and baby whale! 親子のくじらに遭遇しました！

Reviewed by: T.S

The ship was larger than I expected. There was someone explaining over the speaker, but it was all in English, so I didn't understand it very well. There were hardly any Japanese guests. I was worried about seasickness, so I took some medication before heading out, but I didn't feel much rocking at all. I was able to see whales about four times, but of course, since we couldn't get too close, just watching from a distance lacked a bit of impact. However, being able to see them with the naked eye is only possible during this season, so I was really moved just to have had the chance to see them!

思っていた以上に大きい船でした。スピーカーで説明してくれている方がいたのですが、全て英語であまりよく分かりませんでした。日本人のお客さんもほとんどいませんでした。船酔いが不安だったので酔い止めを飲んで出掛けましたが、あまり揺れも感じずにすみました。4回ほどくじらを見ることができましたが、当然のことながら、あまり近くに寄ることもできないため、遠目に見るだけでは、やはり迫力には欠けます。しかし、肉眼で見られるのは、この時期だけですので、見ることができただけで感動でした！

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales, but it was still an enjoyable cruise as we admired the majestic Big Island from the sea, passed by the luxury cruise ship anchored off the coast of Kona, and searched for the coffee farm we visited the day before. I appreciated the guide who passionately continued to explain about the whales and marine life in Hawaii in English.

あいにく鯨は見ることができませんでしたが、海から望む雄大なビッグアイランド、コナ港の沖に停泊していた豪華客船の横を通ったり、前日に訪れたコーヒー農園はあそこかな？なんて探したりしながら、それはそれで楽しいクルーズでした。ハワイの鯨や海の生き物について一生懸命に説明（英語）し続けていたガイドさんに好感が持てました。

I was able to see whales! クジラ見れました！

Reviewed by: ひいらぎ

I participated in the tour in early February 2020. After checking in at the tour reception, we boarded a small boat at a shallow beach and then transferred to a medium-sized whale-watching boat after heading a little offshore. Since this tour was not specifically for Japanese speakers, all the explanations were in English, and we didn't understand much as we are not very good at English. However, both the reception staff and the crew were friendly, so we didn't feel out of place.

The tour includes drinks and snacks. We didn't need them, so we didn't eat or drink, but I appreciated that the crew took the time to ask if we wanted something to drink and made an effort to deliver drinks to elderly passengers who found it difficult to move around due to the boat's rocking.

What kind of whales we encounter is purely a matter of luck, but this time we were able to see a mother whale with her baby. We didn't get to see any flashy displays, but we enjoyed watching them blow water and see their tails.

If we could understand English better, we might have enjoyed it even more, but it was a tour that was enjoyable even without knowing English.

2020年2月上旬に参加しました。
ツアー受付でチェックイン後、浅瀬のビーチで小型の船に乗り、そこから少し沖に出てから中型のクジラウォッチング用の船に乗り換えました。
日本人向けのツアーではないので説明はすべて英語で、英語が苦手な私たちにはあまり内容はわかりませんでしたが、受付の方もクルーの方もフレンドリーで肩身の狭い思いをすることはありませんでした。

ツアーにはドリンクやスナックがついています。
私たちはいらなかったので飲み食いしませんでしたが、クルーの方が何か飲まないかとわざわざ尋ねてくださったり、船は揺れるので移動が億劫になる高齢者の方に飲み物を届けたりする心遣いはいいなぁと思いました。

どんなクジラに出会えるかは運でしかないのですが、この時は赤ちゃん連れのクジラ親子に遭遇できました。
派手な画を見ることはできませんでしたが、塩吹きや尻尾を見ることができたので十分に楽しめました。

英語が理解できればもっと楽しめたのかもしれませんが、英語ができなくても楽しめるツアーでした。

I made a round trip to Captain Cook's Cove, but I wasn't able to see a single whale or dolphin. The crew kept explaining things over the microphone, so for those who understand English, it might have been a nice experience even without seeing whales. The weather was perfect, and it was a pleasant cruise. However, my wife seemed to be too seasick to enjoy the scenery.
