A wonderful manta. 素敵なマンタ

Reviewed by: ともこ

The manta rays were swimming really close by, and it was wonderful. I know they don't eat people, but it felt a bit scary, like they could. Haha.

マンタが本当にスレスレの所で泳いでいて、素敵でした。
食べないのは分かっていますが、食べられそうな感じがしてちょっと怖かったですけど。笑。

Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour Adventure on a Hawaiian Sailing Canoe

Best Experience on Big Island

Reviewed by: Brian

We had a great time with Chanda and the captain. They honored our reservation even though we were the only two.

We saw 3-4 huge female manta rays that came up and brushed up against us. Not counting all the schools of fish! And hot cocoa when we were done was icing on the cake.

Looking forward to the next time!

If there were no seasickness... 船酔いがなければ…

Reviewed by: はく☆

I used this for my honeymoon! Seeing the manta rays up close was truly moving! Personally, even though I took motion sickness medication, the time spent searching for manta rays at the snorkeling spot was long, and the strong winds and rough waves made me feel seasick... Even while watching the manta rays, the waves were rough and I got nauseous. It felt like I barely managed to take some photos.

For those who get motion sickness, it might be better to eat dinner after it's over. Also, I think it's good to take extra motion sickness medication...

ハネムーンで使用しました!マンタが本当に間近で!感動でした!
個人的には、酔い止めを飲んだのにシュノーケリング地点に到着してマンタを探している時間が長く、また風が強く波が激しかったので船酔いに…マンタを見ている最中も波が荒く酔ってしまって。やっとの思いで写真が撮れたって感じです。
乗り物酔いをする人は夕食は終わってから食べた方がいいかもです。そして、酔い止め多めが良いかと…思います。

Reply from activity provider

Aloha Haku,

Thank you for your suggestion that dinner is recommended during the tour. We appreciate you sharing the best shots of the manta rays that you worked hard to capture during the tour!

When participating in the manta experience, it might be better to have a light dinner. Also, it seems that taking motion sickness medication once the day before and again just before boarding is effective, so please give it a try when you join the tour.

Mahalo

Aloha はく様

夕食はツアーごがおすすめとのご意見ありがとうございます。
ツアー中、頑張って撮られたへマンタのベストショットをUPしていただいてありがとうございます!

マンタご参加の際は夕飯は控えめにしていただいた方が良いかと思います。
また、酔い止めは前日に一度乗る前にもう一度飲んでいただくと効果的のようですので、ツアーご参加の際はお試しください。

Close encounter with a manta! マンタと接近!

Reviewed by: はるこ

First of all, it was fun heading out to sea while watching the sunset sink into the ocean! We stopped the boat and waited for it to get dark, and then it was time to go underwater! I was so happy when 2 to 3 large mantas came close to us. On the way there, there were a few people who got seasick, so motion sickness medication is a must. I forgot to bring my motion sickness medication for the return trip, so I ended up feeling nauseous on the way back. Also, it gets really cold on the return trip, so I think it's essential to have clothes that you can easily change into or warm clothing on the boat.

まず、海に沈む夕日を見ながら沖へ向かって行くのが楽しかったです!そして船を停めて暗くなるのを待ち、いざ水中へ!とても大きなマンタが2〜3枚来てくれてとっても近くまで来てくれてすごく嬉しかったです。行きの船では船酔いしている方が何名か居たので酔い止めは必須です。私は帰りの酔い止めを持参し忘れた為に帰りは気持ち悪くなってしまいました。そして帰りはすごく寒くなるので船の上で簡単に着替えられる様な服や防寒着は必須だと思いました。

Big Island Manta Ray Snorkel Cruise from Keauhou Bay - Sunset & Night Tours

Great Experience

Reviewed by: Kkuh1

This was an amazing experience. Our captain and the diver were really great. While we were "waiting" for the mantas to arrive, our diver went to the ocean floor to pick up some sea urchins and sea cucumbers to show us. He put them back of course, but it made the trip even more interesting. Them the mantas arrived and put on an amazing show!

Measures to prevent seasickness 船酔い対策を

Reviewed by: 50歳おばさん達

I used to dive every year, but recently I switched to snorkeling, and I was told that I should definitely see the manta rays, so I participated. For the first 30 minutes, the manta rays didn't appear, and I was worried I wouldn't be able to endure the seasickness. When the manta finally showed up, it circled right beneath us multiple times, and it was an incredible experience. It's amazing that such a large creature doesn't attack. Once it appeared, it stayed right below us the whole time.

However, since I was feeling seasick, I returned to the boat earlier than the others. On the way out, we were given either canned ginger ale, juice, or water along with snacks. I chose the ginger ale, thinking I had to drink it all, and I ended up feeling too full. For those who are prone to seasickness, I recommend taking your drink back with you and just sipping a little of what you brought.

Also, for those who have never snorkeled before, I think it would be a bit difficult unless you practice in the sea first. If you're prone to seasickness, I think it's better to sign up for a tour that departs from in front of the Sheraton Hotel.

ダイビングを毎年していた人が、この頃はシュノーケルに変えて、その中でもマンタだけは見た方がよいというので、参加しました。マンタが最初30分ぐらい現れず、船酔いもしていたので、気持ち悪くて耐えられるか心配でした。やっと現れたマンタは、何度も私たちの体の真下を旋回して、それはそれはすごい経験でした。あんなに体が大きいのに、襲わないなんて不思議です。一度現れた後は、ずっと真下にいました。
 ただ船酔いをしていたので、他の人よりは早く船に戻りました。行きに缶のジンジャエールか、ジュースか水とお菓子をもらうのですが、私はジンジャエールをもらい、最後まで飲まなきゃいけないと思って、全部飲んだら胃が満杯になってしまったのだと思います。酔いやすい人は、それは持ち帰って、自分が持ってきた飲み物を少しだけ飲むことをお勧めします。
 またシュノーケルを一度もやったことがない人は、海で練習してからでないと、ちょっと無理だと思います。
 酔いやすい人は、シェラトンホテルの前で見ることになるので、そちらから出るツアーを申し込んだ方がよいと思います。

I was able to see it right in front of me! 目の前で見れました!

Reviewed by: hiromik

It seems that the encounter rate with manta rays is almost 100%. We were able to see them perfectly during our time there. The manta rays showed themselves more than ten times, and on one occasion, we even saw their underside.

On the way to the dive site, we encountered a pod of dolphins and were very satisfied to see them jumping out of the water.

Our guide, Musashi, was handsome and kind. I would love to do this again if the opportunity arises.

マンタとの遭遇率はほぼ100%のようです。
私たちの時もバッチリ見れました。マンタは10回以上姿を見せてくれ、うち1回はお腹側も見れました。
ポイントに行くまでの間には、イルカの群れに遭遇して、海面を飛び跳ねる姿も見れて大満足です。

ガイドのムサシさんはイケメンで親切でした。

I was a bit surprised. ちょっとびびった

Reviewed by: ビビリ

It took about 30 minutes by rubber boat to reach the point. Two manta rays gracefully appeared. They came very close and danced around, which was a bit surprising. This manta ray tour seemed to be a side tour organized by a main operator. The day before the tour, I received a request to change to a later time because the original tour was canceled for boat inspection and repairs. Initially, I considered canceling my participation in the tour, but it went ahead as scheduled. Upon reflection, I think it wasn't due to the boat inspection and repairs, but rather that they hadn't reached the minimum number of participants. Additionally, even after the meeting time had passed, the tour operator did not arrive, making it feel like a disorganized company.

ゴムボートで片道約30分でポイントに到着。2枚のマンタが優雅に現れてくれました。もうすれすれまで来て舞ってくれてちょっとびびりました。このマンタのツアーも元締めみたいのがいてそのおこぼれツアーのようでした。ツアーの前日に、船の点検修理のためその時間のがキャンセルになり遅い時間のに変更依頼を受けました。当初は、ツアー参加のキャンセルを考えましたが、ツアーは予定どおりに催行されました。よくよく考えると、船の点検修理のためではなく、最少催行人数に達していなかったのだと思いました。また集合時間を過ぎても催行社は来ず、でたらめな会社のように感じました。

Mantas are so cute! マンタかわいい~!

Reviewed by: S&Jfrom湘南

It felt like a manta ray! However, my wife was very anxious, saying, "Entering the night sea and having a manta ray approach with its mouth wide open..." After talking with her about various things, she gathered her courage and finally participated!

Once we actually joined, her impression changed completely, and she was overjoyed, saying, "The manta ray is so cute, I'm so glad!" Our guide, Tori-chan, was wonderful! She was so energetic and taught us various things about manta rays, including their ecology, habits, and names, in a storytelling format. Most importantly, she explained, "Manta rays are very friendly and cute!" which eased our preconceived notions. The manta rays really came close to us repeatedly. My wife even got touched by one coming from the other side—how lucky! Thank you, Tori-chan! I definitely want to participate again.

マンタみたい~でも奥様は「夜の海に入るなんて~口を広げマンタが近づいてくるなんて~」ととても不安!そんな奥様といろいろ話して勇気を奮起いただき遂に参加しました‼
実際に参加してみたら、がらりと印象が変って「マンタとても可愛くってよかった~ね!」と大喜びでした。ガイドのトリちゃんが素晴らしかった!まず元気がもらえるし、紙芝居仕立てでマンタのこと生態・習性や名前がついているとかいろいろ教えてくれます。なんといっても「マンタはとても人懐こくってかわいいよ~!」って説明してくれて先入観ができて安心。マンタはホントにごく目の前をぐる~と何度も何度も寄ってきます。奥様には向こうから触ってきたって~うらやましい。トリちゃんありがと~!またぜひ参加したいです。

Incredible impact!! 大迫力‼

Reviewed by: mimi

My reason for coming to the Big Island was that I learned about this tour from the Dolphin University I attended on Oahu. This time, I finally got to participate, and I had high expectations.

The manta rays were truly enormous, coming so close with their mouths wide open that I thought they might bump into me. However, it was fascinating how they would spin around without hitting me.

It was an exhilarating experience and a lot of fun. I believe it was a rare opportunity to get so close to so many mantas. The boat ride to and from the point was thrilling as it went at high speed, which added to the enjoyment.

ハワイ島へ来るきっかけは、以前オアフで参加したイルカ大学でこのツアーを知ったことでした。この度、念願かない大いに期待して参加しました。
マンタは本当に大きくて、ぶつかるのではないかと思うほどすぐ近くまで大きな口を開けて近づいてきます。しかし、こちらには当たらずにくるりと回転するのが不思議でした。
大迫力で楽しかったです。たくさんのマンタにこんな接近できるなんて貴重な体験だったと思います。

野生のマンタ シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>

Perfect for families. 家族連れに最適

Reviewed by: モアナ

This was my first experience with my family. Personally, it was my third time, but I’ll briefly outline the pros and cons.

First, the pros:
1. The marina is very close to the points, so the total travel time is short.
2. The boat is large and comfortable.
3. There was a child who gets seasick on board, but since the points are close, I think it was relatively easy for them.

Now, the cons:
1. The explanations are only in English, but I don’t think that will be a problem.
2. The journey is short, so you can’t enjoy the scenery of Kona town.

Depending on the timing, I think the LED lights were strong, and we had a relatively good number of sightings.

I plan to come back here next time as well.

家族連れでは初体験でした。
個人的には3度目でしたが簡単に長所と短所を書いておきます。

まず長所
1、マリーナからポイントまでが非常に近くに全行程の所要時間が短くて済む。
2、船が大きくて快適。
3、船酔いしやすい子が同船してましたがポイントまでが近いので比較的楽だと思います。

で短所
1、英語の説明しかないが困る事は無いと思う。
2、道中が短いのでコナの街の景色を眺める事が出来ない。

タイミングにもよると思いますがLEDのライトが強く比較的沢山来てくれたと思います。

次回からもここにしようと思います。

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: Lisa Leon

This was the best idea we had to add to our Hawaiian vacation. I felt very lucky that my family of 3 had a private tour via the ocean from a native. Chris was AWESOME. Super nice. Shared a lot of Hawaiian culture with us. That alone was great but it was even better to get our lesson on sea while looking back at the island. Totally totally worth it. I've already told all our friends to do this. Thank you Chris.

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.

送迎無しプラン$110
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。

It's the best! 最高です!

Reviewed by: ともこ

I participated with my 70-year-old parents. My father struggled with snorkeling and gave up partway through, but during that time, our guide, Tori, frequently checked on him as we returned to the boat. My mother seemed to be having a great time, looking around in the water the whole time.

The manta rays come very close; it's an incredible experience!

70歳の両親と三人で参加しました。
父はうまくシュノーケルが出来ず、途中で断念しましたがその際もガイドのトリちゃんがちょくちょく心配してくれ、船に戻りました。
母はおおはしゃきでずっと海のなかを見ていて、楽しんでいたようです。

マンタ間近にきます、大迫力ですよ!

A large manta ray turns multiple times right in front of me. It was an impressive sight, just inches away from my face! You can truly feel the magnificent nature unique to the Big Island of Hawaii.

We liked that our guide taught us how to "encourage" the mantas by singing to them. We had a blast :)

We're so pleased that you had a "blast" while on your manta tour, and that our KOEX dive guide, Steven, was able to show you how to enhance your experience with these amazing sea creatures. Hope you will have a chance to come join us again for another adventure aboard in the future. Aloha!

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。
子供も最初は怖がっていましたが、じっくり観察できたようで色々な感想を
言ってくれていたので、連れて行ってよかったと感じました。
※マンタはムービーでしか撮ってなかったので、写真がありません...

また、ボートから見るサンセットも素敵でした。

Aloha SEN,

Thank you for participating in our tour. I'm glad you had a wonderful experience on the manta tour, which is exclusive to the Big Island, and that you enjoyed the beautiful sunset.

When you visit Oahu again, we also have dolphin middle school and university tours, so all of our staff look forward to the day we can meet again.

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.

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. A Hoi Hou and Aloha!
