Beautiful sea and manta rays. 綺麗な海とマンタ

Reviewed by: たかはし

Diving from the boat, I was able to see a truly beautiful sea with coral and many fish. When a manta ray approached from such a stunning ocean, I was incredibly excited. It came very close, and I felt it was worth participating in this experience!

There's no doubt that I will have an experience to brag about when I get back!

船からダイブするとほんとにきれいな海で、サンゴやたくさんの魚を見ることが出来ました。
そんな海からマンタが近づいてきたときはすごく興奮してしまいました。とても近くまで来てくれ参加したかいがあったなと思いました！

帰ってみんなに自慢できるような体験が出来ること間違い無しです！！

It was a very comfortable tour, and the captain was a fun person, making for a truly wonderful time.

Above all, encountering the manta rays was impressive, and I was really moved. I want to bring my family along next time!

Amazing! 凄い！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

In mid-March, my husband and I participated in a night manta snorkeling and diving tour departing from Kerama Islands. The sight of the mantas gracefully swimming, attracted by the blue light and plankton, was incredibly beautiful, and it gradually felt like we were flying in the sky. It felt like we were watching it on TV, but at one point, a manta came so close that we were worried it might bump into us! It was an amazing experience like no other—just incredible!

☆ It’s quite far from the hotel we stayed at, and there’s no shuttle service, so I think it would be convenient to stay at the Sheraton if you’re not using a rental car.
☆ After boarding, we arrived at the spot in about 10 minutes, and the boat didn’t rock too much.
☆ You can hold onto a floating pole, and since it rests against your legs and waist, I think even those who are not good at swimming will be fine.
★ Although we wore wetsuits, the water temperature was low, and gradually I lost feeling in my hands; it was so cold that by the end, it felt like a training session.
★ I managed to get by with mimicking others, but I didn’t understand the English explanations at all. Still, it was definitely worth it! I highly recommend it!

3月中旬 ケラホウベイから出発するナイトマンタシュノーケリング＆ダイブへ夫と２人で参加しました。ブルーライトとプランクトンに集まってくるマンタがとても優雅に泳いでいる姿はとても美しく、次第に空を飛んでいるような感覚になります。TVでも見ている気分でしたが、途中驚くほどマンタが近くにやってきたんです！ぶつかってしまうかもと心配するほど。今までにない素晴らしい体験、凄い!の一言です。

☆私たちが泊まったホテルからはとても遠く、送迎もないためため、レンタカーを使用しない方はシェラトンに泊まれば便利かなと思います
☆乗船し、10分ぐらいでポイントに到着、それほどユレは気になりません
☆棒状の浮に捕まり、棒状の浮を足や腰に当てるので泳ぎが苦手の方も大丈夫だと思います
★ウエットスーツは着るものの水温が低かったため、次第に手の感覚がなくなり、寒くて寒くて最後の方は修行のような気分に
★見よう見まねで何とかなりましたが、英語の説明がさっぱりわかりませんでした
　　それでもやって大正解!お勧めです！

Swim with manta rays. マンタと泳ぐ

Reviewed by: maki

I participated in a night manta snorkeling and diving event at Keauhou Bay, which is about a 20-minute drive from Kailua-Kona. It's the only spot in the world where mantas gather. It seems that it's not very well-known in Japan, as I was the only Asian participant. There was no transportation provided, and of course, all the guides spoke English.

Even though it's always summer in Hawaii, it was still winter. By the end, I was shivering from the cold. On top of that, I felt quite seasick. A friendly British lady I got to know gave me a ride back. She was really nice!

I couldn't speak English well, and it had been 10 years since I last snorkeled. It was my first time in deep water, and at night! But somehow, I managed.

The mantas gather to feed on plankton attracted by the lights from the hotel. So, it turns out you can't see them on nights with a full moon. In the evening, we took a boat out to sea, shone lights on the water's surface, and waited for the mantas to gather before diving after sunset! That night, five mantas came to join us. The scuba team was below, and the snorkeling team was above. The mantas came right up to the surface of the water; it felt like they were about to bump into me.

The mantas seemed to be dancing, gliding through the water with grace. They had cute, round eyes and mouths like the character from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. It was a magical experience.

kaila konaから車で２０分位の所に有るkeauhou bayというとこで行われている、ナイトマンタシュノーケル＆ダイブに参加してきました。マンタが集まる世界で唯一のスポット。日本ではあまり知られていないらしく、参加者はアジア人は私一人。送迎も何もなく、もちろんガイドも全部英語。

常夏ハワイとはいえやっぱり冬。終えた頃には寒さで体がガタガタに震えてました。加えて波酔いもwかなりグロッキー。
仲良くなったイギリス人のおばちゃんに帰りは送ってもらいました。いい人w

英語ももちろん話せないし、シュノーケル自体も１０年ぶり、足の着かない所では始めて、しかも夜！！　ま、でも何とかなりました。

マンタはホテルの明かりに集まるプランクトンを食べに集まるそうです。なので？満月の夜は見られないとの事。
夕方ボートで沖に出てわずかの所に、ライトを海面に当て、マンタが集まるのを待ち、日が落ちてからダイブ開始！この日は５匹のマンタが集まってくれました。
スキューバチームは下から、シュノーケルチームは上から。
マンタは海面すれすれまで上がってきます。体にぶつかりそうでした。
マンタたちはまるで踊ってるかの様。水中を飛んでいます。優雅な舞です。
かわいいつぶらな目、風邪の谷のナウシカのキョシンヘイの様な口の中。
幻想的な時間でした。

A storm of emotion!! 感動の嵐!!

Reviewed by: まこと

The large spotlight placed at the bottom of the water created an emerald green sea even in the surrounding darkness. With divers sitting on the seabed, bubbles were rising from below. Plankton were gathering in droves attracted by the light, and schools of fish were also gathering, creating a scene that was truly mystical and vibrant, reminiscent of a dragon palace! And the mantas dancing above the divers!

I heard there were twelve tonight, with some over 4 meters long, gracefully circling while feeding on plankton!

It was simply amazing. After a while, the mantas were drawn to our lights as well, coming right up to the light we were holding, spinning and showing their bellies just before touching it. They did this over and over again! Seeing a manta nearly 4 meters long swimming in front of me was an indescribable experience! I had always admired them, and to have one come so close (it felt like we might collide) was incredible!

I was screaming with my colleagues so loudly that even the divers on the seabed could hear us!

It was truly a wonderful experience. I still feel like I'm on the boat!

写真のようにでっかいスポットライトを水の底に入れてあるから、周りが真っ暗でもそこら一帯がエメラルドグリーンの海になってました。
ダイバーたちが海底に座っているからコポコポと泡が下から昇ってきて。
光につられてプランクトンが一杯集まっているから魚も群れ単位で集まっていて、まさに龍宮城って言えるくらい神秘的で華やかな光景でした！それにダイバーたちの上を踊るマンタたち!!
今夜は１２頭いたらしいのですが、大きいものでは４ｍ以上のもいて、踊るように回りながらプランクトンを食べてるんですよ!!

もぉ素晴らしい、の一言でした。
それからしばらくしたらうちら（シュノーケリングしてる人）の光にも誘われて、ホント手に持ってるライトの下まで来て、ライトを触るか触らないかの寸前にくるっとお腹を見せながら回転するんです。しかもそれを何回も何回も!!
目の前で４ｍ近いマンタがクルクルと泳ぐ姿はまさに感無量!!
憧れだったので、しかもこんなに近くに（ホントぶつかるかと思ったくらい近かったです）マンタが来るなんて!!
はぁ~~~海底にいたダイバーにまで聞こえるくらい仕事仲間とギャーギャー叫んでましたww

でもホント素晴らしい体験でした。
でもってまだ船の上にいる気分ですww

Realizing a long-held dream 長年の夢実現

Reviewed by: さいたまファミリー

We boarded the afternoon cruise and checked in at the pier office, which was easy to find in front of the ship. Onboard, there was a generous service of drinks, fruits, and snacks (though I wished the drinks had a bit more creativity). The deck was spacious, mainly filled with international guests, and we encountered whales (after departing, we saw wild dolphins and captured six photos of a humpback whale's tail). The staff's instructions, even in English, were entertaining and easy to understand. They were very attentive to the guests and engaged with us multiple times, making it a fun half-day experience.

午後発のクルーズに乗船、桟橋オフィス（乗船する船の前受付が分かりやすい）チェックイン、船上ではドリンク、フルーツ、スナックサービス（ドリンクの味にひと工夫がほしい）は豊富にありました、甲板も広く外国の人が主ですがクジラ遭遇（出港すると野生イルカに遭遇、ザトウクジラの尾尾を６回写真に収める）による前後左右のスタッフの指示が英語であっても面白おかしく分かり易かった、スタッフは客の対応も熱心で私たちにもなんべんも話しかけてくれた楽しい半日でした。

Manta rays come super close! マンタが超接近！

Reviewed by: シュノ−ケラ−

About 15 minutes by boat, two staff members held lights and illuminated from below, attracting a manta ray that approached us. Before the tour, we were warned not to touch the manta rays, but even though I didn't reach out, the manta came close and spun around, brushing against my body. Eventually, four manta rays gathered, and it was truly moving. I felt like I was able to see them up close more than when diving.

At first, I was watching from the surface, but when I got the signal that it was okay to dive, I was able to see them from below as well. Other travelers from Spain and Australia participated, and everyone was shouting "Wow! Wow!" continuously. I would love to visit the Big Island again just to participate in this tour.

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.

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

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.

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.
