Big Island Afternoon Whale Watch Tour from Kona - Body Glove Cruises [Dec - Mar]
OKAY
Reviewed by: Kathleen
Body Glove Whale Watching was Okay. The staff was nice, The snacks and beverages were nice. The boat was nice. My trip, though I booked it 3 months earlier, when I arrived at my hotel, it was changed. Sure, they comped the bar to have me switch, but the whales we did see were too far off to make the trip worth-while.

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＞
マンタが超接近！
Reviewed by: シュノ−ケラ−
船で15分ほどの所でまずスタッフが二人ライトを持って潜り下から上へライトで照らすとマンタが1匹寄って来ました.ツア−前に絶対マンタには触らないことと注意を受けましたが自分では触らないのにマンタの方から接近して来て体すれすれで回転するので体が触れるのです.
そのうち4匹集まって来て感動です.ダイビングをするよりも近くでマンタを見れたと思います.
最初は水面から見ていたのですが、潜ってもいいと合図があったので潜って下からも見上げる形でも見る事ができました.私以外にスペイン、オ−ストラリアからの旅行者が参加していました.全員ウォ−！ウォ−！の連続でした.
このツア−に参加するだけにもう1度ハワイ島を訪れたいぐらいです.

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise
E.T. encounter
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous
So if I'd explain this experience to someone, I'd say that it was like meeting with E.T. underwater. It's just very unique and almost spiritual experience to see them underwater at NIGHT. If you are comfortable in the water, do this tour. You won't regret it.

Kohala Whale Watching Tour by Ocean Sports | Kids 0-5 Ride for Free [Dec - Mar]
Whales!
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous
We just came back from our honeymoon in the Big Island. We took this whale watch trip, and I must say this was by far the most enjoyable sailing trip we did in Hawaii. Being Discovery Channel lovers, we were so excited to see the real whales in front of us! We can't wait to go back there someday. Five stars!

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise
Beautiful Experience
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous
The experience with the mantas was the highlight of our honeymoon. They are beautiful, amazing creatures and spending time with them was fantastic. The scuba diver who attracts the mantas also filmed it and it was the one DVD/picture set that we bought of all of our tours. We really loved the animals, but hte experience was so-so. Do NOT go on this tour if you are not comfortable snorkeling, as they really do not hold your hand--you go in the water in the dark and there isn't really a lifeguard or somebody making sure that you are with the pack. Its fine if you are comfortable, just be warned. The only other downside was the other people on the boat with us who, instead of passively watching the creatures and taking their turn with them, swam over on top of us every time the manta were near us. We got kicked in the head by stranger's fins and we have it all on tape! I might recommend trying to get somebody to take you on a personal charter for this beautiful experience, it would probab

Kona Glassbottom Boat & Guided Coral Reef Tour with Marine Naturalist
Fun for kids
Reviewed by: Jane
This was a pleasant outing and particularly enjoyable for kids. If you think you might get seasick, I would recommend you take a ginger capsule before you go. Looking down into the water can make you a little queezy. Very informative and was helpful to have someone describing what you see.

Kona Glassbottom Boat & Guided Coral Reef Tour with Marine Naturalist
Non snorkelers - don't miss out!
Reviewed by: JK
I don't know how to swim, and no way would I try snorkeling without even knowing how to float, so this was right up my alley. The staff was engaging and funny and knew a lot about the fish that we saw. We floated over several clusters of coral and although I didn't see anything as cool as a dolphin or manta ray, I did see a variety of exotic fish I had never known outside of an aquarium. Sadly, it's a quick 1 hour because you're so focused on looking at the windows that you lose track of time.
I don't recommend taking tons of pictures like someone here suggested, only because the fish move so fast that you'd probably get bad shots anyway and secondly, you really want to enjoy this uninterrupted without a contraption mounted to your face. Maybe take a snapshot of the first reef so you can tell people "I experienced this," then put the camera away for good.

Atlantis Kona Submarine Tour & Undersea Adventure - Descend up to 100 feet
Atlantis Sub Ride
Reviewed by: Lori & Craig
It was definitely a unique experience, and having it depart from the pier in downtown Kona was great. We saw some marine life, though I guess we expected a bit more variety of fish (mostly yellow ones). Guess the fish don't come when it's sub time though! We loved looking at the coral and seeing a whole different world under the surface.
We did buy the CD that was offered for $20 with your picture, thinking it would have a variety of marine life pictures from previous trips, but on first inspection, it doesn't appear to have much. We did get our picture on the CD plus pictures of everyone else on the ride ... Don't think it was worth the $20.
Overall, a great and unique thing to do and I'd definitely recommend it to first-timers and those with kids, but not something I'd do again I don't think.

Submarine Ride
Reviewed by: Doug
Overall, it was a fun experience to be in a submarine. We got to see a pod of dolphins, so that was exciting. It's like scuba diving but you don't get wet. Pretty neat. The pier is a walking distance from downtown Kona, so it was very close to our hotel.

The crew was fantastic. A very unique way to see ocean life up close. It was a bit crowded and you have to bend over to see out the windows if you are taller than 5 foot, but you soon forget about that as you look through your window.

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ 2階建てカタマラン船に乗って壮大なクジラの姿を観察！＜12～3月／軽食付き／英語ガイド／カイルアコナ発＞
爽やかクルージングでした
Reviewed by: 匿名希望
クジラは潮を吹いているのと、尻尾を10回程観る事が出来ました。どれも遠くて写真に収める事は出来ませんでしたが、
海でクジラを観たのは初めてだったので感動しました。
乗船していた「ナチュラリスト」の方の説明によると、12月末はまだアラスカから来るクジラが到着し始めた頃で数が少なく、ベストシーズンは1月末から2月だそうです。 その頃になると、メスを呼ぶオスのクジラの声を水中マイクで聴いたりする事もできるそうです。 クジラ遭遇のヒット率を高くしたい方はシーズンをチェックした方が良いと思います。
とはいえ、今年から新しくしたというボディ・グローブ号でのクルージングはとても気持ちがよく、青い海原と緑の対岸を見ているだけでも癒されます。 スナックやフルーツが無料で用意されているのも嬉しいサービスでした。バーテンダーの方も同乗しており、外国人観光客の方はこぞってカクテルを飲んでいました。 案内にソフトドリンク付きとあったので、試しにノンアルコールのカクテルを頼んでみたら、かわいい蘭の花をつけてくれてこれも無料でした。（ノンアルコールでカクテルを頼むには「ヴァージン」を付ければOKです。例えば「バージン・ピナコラーダ」でラム抜きでカクテルを作ってくれます。）
港に戻る途中でイルカの群れやマンタ（背中だけなのでよく分かりませんでしたが）に遭遇したりと、ヒット率は高かったと思います。 必ず遭える水族館ではなく、自然に任せてのツアーなので、クルージング自体を楽しむ感覚で行けば遭遇出来なくても十分に楽しめると思います。

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!

出航して１時間半くらい鯨を探しまわったけど、残念ながら鯨は見えませんでした。説明は英語のみでほとんどわかりませんでした。でも最後にイルカの群れを見つけ、かなり長い時間一緒に海を進みました。何頭ものイルカが船の周りに泳いでくれて、すごく近くで見ることができました。ジャンプを何回も繰り返して大サービスしてくれましたし。結論としては参加して良かったです。

ハワイ島 アトランティス潜水艦 ハワイの海底アドベンチャー ＜日本語オーディオガイド＞
気軽に出掛けられて魚がいっぱい
Reviewed by: quattro97
以前グレートバリアリーフで半潜水艇に乗ったことがありますが、沖まで長時間船に揺られて辛かった思い出があります。これに対して、このツアーは桟橋から小型船で出発して10分程度で潜水ポイントに到着。そこで潜水艦に移動した後、潜ってしまえば揺れません。乗り物に弱い人でも大丈夫です。今回シュノーケル等ができない、おじいちゃんおばあちゃん、子供と一緒におしゃべりしながら海底探索できて、みんな喜んでくれました。途中、沈没船があったり、魚の群れに遭遇したり、こんな陸の近くにパラダイスがあるなんてハワイってすごい、という感じです。また、参加時間が120分程度なので、その前後もふつ~に遊べてグッドでした。

ハワイ島 アトランティス潜水艦 ハワイの海底アドベンチャー ＜日本語オーディオガイド＞
地上とは別世界の美しく幻想的な海の底に感動！
Reviewed by: ハワイ大好き！
ハワイでの初めてのスノーケルで浅い水中で小さな魚たちに出会えたときの感動。体験スキューバダイビングで10メートル程度の海の底の魚たちと初めて出会えたときの感動。今回はそれらを上回りました。
耳抜きの苦手な私は、体験ダイビングでは苦しさが感動を若干上回り、以来、海の底とは遠ざかっていました。そして今回思いついたのが潜水艦ツアーへの参加。これは期待以上でした。潜水艦はもちろんどんなに潜っても苦しくなることなく、じっくり美しく幻想的な別世界を楽しむことができました。30分の潜水時間だったようですが、夢中になってしまいあっという間に過ぎてしまいました。きらきら光る珊瑚、小さな魚たち、なにやら不明な海底動物、そして、なんとイルカのカップルにも遭遇しました。ガイドさんによると、これは珍しくラッキーだったようです。
カイルアコナの街も港町という感じでのんびりして良かったのですが、それ以上に、カイルアコナの美しい海底の幻想的な別世界に大満足しました。

圧倒されました
Reviewed by: 匿名希望
結果から言うと、クジラの潮吹きと尻尾を4回見ただけでした。
が、でも！！
通常日本ではありえない時間の流れ、そしてクジラのゆったりとした存在感に圧倒されました。
自然の前では人間なんてほんとにちっちゃいなあ。。。と、スケールの違いを感じるアクティビティーでした。
スタッフはみな親切でしたし、クルージングはすがすがしかったです。
※桟橋で乗り込むまでがちょっと段取りが悪い感じはしましたけど。
感受性の強い方ほど、そして疲れている人ほど癒されると思います。
