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＞

It was a comfortable cruising experience. 快適なクルージングでした

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The whale watching season has just begun, and I was worried about whether I would be able to see any whales, but I was able to see about three spouting and their tails perfectly.

Along the way, a pod of dolphins passed by, and dolphins welcomed us at the port, which was also adorable.

The captain and the staff provided a lot of explanations, but since my English skills are lacking, I couldn't catch everything. If there are more people, it seems that a Japanese guide will accompany us, but with fewer people, we can freely use the deck of the boat, which is also appealing.

The view of the town of Kona, the airport, and the mountains from the sea was beautiful. If it's high season, I wonder if I could see more whales up close. Next time, I want to improve my English skills and participate again.

　ホエールウォッチングシーズンが始まったばかりで鯨を見ることが出来るか不安でしたが、ばっちり三頭ほど潮吹きや尻尾を見ることが出来ました。
　途中、イルカの群れが近くを通過、港でもイルカがお出迎え、これも可愛かったです。

　船長以下、スタッフの方がたくさん解説してくれていたのですが、英語力の無い私では全部は聞き取れませんでした。人数が多ければ日本語ガイドの方が付いてくれるようですが、少なければ少ないなりに船のデッキを自由に使えるので、これも捨てがたい。

　海から見えるコナの町、空港、山もきれいでした。
　ハイシーズンならもっとたくさん、そして近くで鯨を見ることが出来るかな。次回は英語力を高めてまた参加してみたいです。

First Whale 初めての鯨

Reviewed by: ＭＡＯ　ＰＡＰＡ

This time, I participated with my daughter. My wife passed this time because she gets seasick. We were handed a video camera and set sail.

As soon as we left the dock, we were welcomed by dolphins. My daughter was completely captivated. I felt the pressure to capture the moment on video, and I struggled greatly.

After a while, there was an announcement in English about spotting a spout (probably). No matter how hard I looked, I couldn't see it. My daughter seemed to find it and was overjoyed. Finally, I spotted it too, but as for the video and camera...

After that, we were able to see several spouts and even some jumps.

Upon returning to the port, I reported to my wife that we saw whales. As for the quality of the video and camera...

今回娘と二人で参加。
妻は、船酔いがするので今回はパス。
ビデオとカメラを渡され出港。

桟橋を外れすぐにいるかのお出迎え。
娘は、首ったけ。
ビデオをとらなくては、プレッシャーに弱いＰＡＰＡ大苦戦。

しばらくして潮吹を発見したとの英語のアナウンス（多分）。
目を皿にしても見えない。
娘は見つけたようで大喜び。
ようやくＰＡＰＡも発見するもビデオ・カメラは、、、。

その後数回にわたり潮吹きそしてジャンプも見られました。

帰港して妻に鯨見れたとの報告。

I was moved. 感動しました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I boarded the ship on the morning of New Year's Day in 2010. I tried not to get my hopes up too much, knowing that it wasn't guaranteed to see them, so I was really happy when I did. We moved the ship to several spots, turned off the engine, and waited for the whales to appear, and I was able to see them multiple times. The tense, expectant atmosphere while waiting for the whales, the surprise and excitement when they finally appeared—it was thrilling. It seems that this year, the whales showed up earlier than usual, so I was very lucky.

2010年の元日の午前中に乗船しました。必ず見ることができるわけではない、と期待しすぎないようにしていたので、見ることができてすごくうれしかったです。何箇所か船を移動してはエンジンを切ってクジラが現れるのを待ち、何度も見ることができました。クジラを待つ間のしんとした期待のこもった空気、現れたときの驚き、感激。興奮しますよ。今年はクジラが現れのが早かったらしく、とてもラッキーだったそうです。

It's a bit cold, but... 少し寒いですが・・

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

My first experience in the night sea was, as everyone has mentioned, mainly concerned with the cold. I prepared a rash guard and entered the water. At first, I only saw manta rays passing by two or three times, but in the end, a manta ray flipped in front of me multiple times, which was very satisfying. However, the cold can be quite challenging, so be prepared!

夜の海は初体験で、皆さんが書き込んでいる通り寒さだけが気がかりでした。ラッシュガードを用意して海に入りました。最初は２~３回マンタが通り過ぎるだけでしたが、最後には目の前をマンタが何回も宙返りをしてとても満足です。ただ、寒さは結構応えますので覚悟の上で！

Wild whales are the best! 野生のクジラ最高ｗ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was honestly worried about whether I would be able to see them in the wild, but I was able to see them up close, even more than I imagined, and it was incredibly moving.

I don't think I could ever see wild whales that close in my everyday life.

It was a very precious experience.

Although we were supposed to see whales, I was lucky to also spot dolphins.

The food on the boat was only mentioned as snacks and drinks in advance, but there were quite stylish light meals and drinks, and I was satisfied with the service.

It might be a good idea to check the meeting point and hotel location in advance. Depending on the situation, a shuttle service might be cheaper. We were far from the hotel and took a taxi, which ended up costing quite a bit...

That's the only regret I have.

However, I think the experience was so amazing that it overshadowed that, so I have no regrets.

I would definitely like to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

野生なので見れるかどうか、正直不安でしたが、想像以上に間近で見ることが出来て、凄く感動しました。

普段、見ることは全くない、野生のクジラをあんな間近で
見ることは出来ないと思います。

非常に貴重な体験でした。

クジラと言いつつ、ちゃっかり、イルカも見れてラッキーでした。

船内の食事も、スナックとドリンクとしか事前に書いて無かったのですが、結構お洒落な感じの軽食とドリンクがあって
サービス面でも満足しました。

集合場所とホテルの場所は事前にチェックしておいた方が良いかもです。場合によっては、送迎ありのほうが安くなる場合もあります。
自分らは、ホテルから遠く、タクシーで行ったのですが、相当な料金が掛かってしまいました。。。

それだけが悔やまれます。

が、そんな事も吹き飛ぶくらいの体験が出来たと思いますので後悔はないです。

また、ハワイに行った時には、ぜひ参加したいですね。

My entire family, that includes my mom, dad, sister, two brothers and my grandparents all went to the Big Island of Hawaii and oh my goodness was it a trial finding activities and stuff that everyone in the group wanted to do and would enjoy doing.

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＞

If you have the courage, changing plans is also an option. 勇気があれば、予定変更もアリ

Reviewed by: emi

I'm glad I participated and can recommend it. It was truly a wonderful experience to see manta rays while snorkeling with such a high probability. The guide mentioned that this is the only place in the world where you can see manta rays while snorkeling. It's a tour I want everyone to join. However, there are some downsides. Communication is only in English. It can be cold. There’s no pickup to the meeting place, and it's a bit nerve-wracking to confirm by phone. If you can't communicate in the language, it might be quite scary. But as long as you have courage, you'll be fine. You can refer to others' experiences for guidance. To deal with the cold, bring warm clothing and put it on right after getting out of the water. Since there’s no pickup to the meeting place, renting a car or staying in the Kona area or at the Sheraton is convenient. The confirmation call is only in English, but it's definitely necessary. My reservation was canceled, and I ended up participating the next day. Many Japanese people don't stay long on the Big Island, so if you miss it, it would be sad, so it's better to have a little extra time.

参加して良かった、お勧めできます。マンタがあのようにシュノーケルで高確率で見れるなんて、本当に素晴らしい体験です。世界でもシュノーケルでマンタが見れるのはここだけとガイドも話していました。皆様に参加して欲しいツアーです。しかし、難点もアリ。英語以外通じない。寒い。集合場所への送迎、再確認のＴＥＬ。海、夜、と不安なので語学が通じないと結構恐いかも？しかし、勇気さえあれば大丈夫。皆様の体験談を参考にすれば問題なし。寒さは防寒着を持参し海から上がってすぐ着用。集合場所まで送迎ないから、レンタカーかコナエリア、シャラトンなどに宿泊が便利。再確認のＴＥＬは英語のみだけど必ず必要。私は、予約日はキャンセルになり、次の日参加になりました。日本人はハワイ島にそう長く滞在しないパターンが多いので、見れなかったら悲しいので、余裕を少しでも持ったほうがいいです。

I reconfirmed just to be sure, and I was told that the boat is broken, so the event has been canceled... Moreover, the next available slot is four days later, so I couldn't participate.

It feels like the service isn't as attentive as that of Japanese tour companies, so for those who will be participating in the future, it might be a good idea to contact them once you arrive, maybe the day before.

Reconfirmを念のためしたところ、ボートが壊れているから中止とのこと・・・。
しかも次に空いているところは4日後だったので、参加することが出来ませんでした。

Close encounter with a manta ray! マンタ大接近！

Reviewed by: のり

I participated with a friend on November 4, 2009. I had watched some videos to get a feel for it, but experiencing it in person was surprising!! They come really close to you! There were only two on that day, but if there had been more, it might have been a bit scary. They swim towards the light, so if you want to see the manta rays up close, it's a good idea to position yourself near the light of the grab bar. Also, since it was nighttime due to the season, it was cold and the boat was rocking, which made me feel a bit groggy. If you're prone to seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must.

2009/11/4に友人と参加しました。動画とかでちょっとは雰囲気を予習していたんですが、実際体験してみてビックリ！！めちゃめちゃ近くまで浮遊してくるんですよ！この日は２匹だけでしたが、もっといたら怖いくらいだったかも。光に向かってくるので、マンタをより近くで見たい方は、つかまり棒のライトの近くに陣取ると良いです。あと、季節的に夜だったこともあり、寒いわ、船は揺れるわでグロッキーになりました。船に弱い方は酔い止め必須です。

I absolutely recommend it!! 絶対オススメです!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Anyway, I absolutely recommend it!!

The kids seemed a bit anxious about the night sea, but it was totally fine!!

You can see the manta rays up close!!

We didn't have a rental car and took a taxi from a hotel quite far away... It was a bit over budget, but I still absolutely recommend it!!

I actually wanted to meet the manta rays while diving, but that seems unlikely to happen, so this time we went snorkeling...

The manta rays swirl around and come within reach.

However...
There’s no place to change into swimsuits, so it's fine to wear them on the way there, but on the way back... you’ll be soaking wet, so I had to sneakily change in the dark after getting out of the water...

I recommend that those planning to participate stay at a nearby hotel (cry)!!

とにかく、絶対にオススメ!!

子どもたちは夜の海に不安を持っていたようですが、全然大丈夫ですよ!!

マンタがとっても近くで見れます!!

私たちはレンタカーも無く、かなり遠いホテルからタクシーで現地へ・・・。ちょっと予算オーバーでしたが、それでも絶対にオススメです!!

本当はダイビングでマンタにあいたかったのですが、それはなかなか叶いそうに無いので、今回はシュノーケリングで・・・。

マンタが、くるくる回転してくれたり、すぐに手の届きそうな距離です。

しかし・・・。
水着に着替えるところは無いので、行きは着ていけばOKですが、帰りは・・・。ビショ濡れですので、タクシーに乗らないといけないので、暗闇の中こっそりきがえました・・・。

参加予定の方は、近くのホテルに宿泊をオススメ致します（泣き）!!

A manta ray so close like this!! こんなに間近にマンタが！！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was really surprised!! Since it's a manta ray tour, it's expected to see manta rays, but I never thought I would see them so close... they come right up to 5 cm in front of you. I thought they would bump into me. You can see them so much that you might say, "I'm already tired of manta rays."

One thing to note is that even though Hawaii is a tropical island, the water temperature is still relatively low. The rental for wetsuits is free, so make sure to borrow one. Also, don't forget a waterproof camera!! If you have a scuba diving license, why not try the diving plan...

いやいや驚きました！！マンタツアーなのでマンタが見れて当たり前なのですが、まさかこんなに近くで見れるとは・・もう目の前５ｃｍまで来ますよ。ぶつかるって思いましたもん。「私もうマンタ飽きたっ」っていうくらい見れますよ。
注意点ですが、常夏の島ハワイとはいえ水温はそれなりに低いです。ウェットスーツのレンタルはタダなので必ず借りましょう。あとは防水カメラを忘れないこと！！スキューバライセンスを持っている方はダイビングプランにチャレンジしてみては・・・

So close... あんなに近くで。。。

Reviewed by: きなこ

I saw manta rays swimming up close for the first time! ^^
(They bumped into me several times.)
I went to the Big Island from October 22 and joined the manta tour on the night of October 24...
I found the office easily after seeing this comment (at the end of the Sheraton, past the parking lot, in the bay) and understood the important points (move the floaty stick to your feet when you arrive, bring a jacket because it gets cold, take motion sickness medicine, etc.). The English explanations were too fast for me to understand, but it was okay even if I didn't get it. ^^
Since I'm usually warm, I was fine without borrowing a wetsuit, but it did get cold when I got out...
The snacks were just some light snacks, so if you're prone to motion sickness, make sure to eat early and take the medicine...
As I mentioned before, it was my first time seeing manta rays up close, and there were so many of them!! It was exciting.
I brought my waterproof digital camera, which allows me to take videos and use the flash, so I was able to get great photos and videos.
The staff will take pictures for you, but it's $40, so if you want a keepsake, I recommend using your digital camera...
If you want to see the inside of a manta's mouth, its eyes, and its back... definitely participate!
Since it's a night tour, you can enjoy plenty of activities during the day, and I think you'll have a very satisfying day overall.
(Additionally, it ends surprisingly early, so afterward, you can enjoy shopping and dining in Kona.)

I highly recommend it!!

あんなに近くで泳ぐマンタは初めて見ました^^
（体に何度も当たりましたよ）

寒いのは暑がりなので、ウエットを借りずとも平気でしたけどね。さすがに上がると冷えましたけど。。。
軽食はホントにお菓子をつまむくらいで、酔う人は早めに食べておいて、酔い止めを。。。
マンタは始めにも書きましたが、ホントまじかで見るのは初めてで、しかも数もたくさん！！興奮でした。
私は防水デジカメラを持ってるので持って行ったんですが、それだと動画も撮れるし、フラッシュもたけるので良い写真、動画が撮れますよ。
スタッフもとってくれますが４０ドルと高いですので、記念にと思うならデジカメで。。。
マンタの口の中、目、背中。。。見たい人はぜひ参加ください。
ナイトツアーという事もあり、昼間はめいいっぱい遊べますし、一日中大満足な日が送れると思います。

I thought we would be going quite far out into the open sea when we said we were going by boat, but I was surprised to find it right next to the Sheraton Hotel. To think we could see manta rays so close... There were about six of them that day. They came so close that I thought, "Is this really okay?!" They seemed quite accustomed to people and were very friendly.

We drove to the meeting point with a rental car, and since I had scouted the area the day before, we were able to arrive without being late. However, even though there was only an English guide, I felt there could have been a bit more consideration. I had no idea about the precautions or anything. Fortunately, a Japanese woman who participated with us spoke English and was able to explain things, which was a great help. I wish there had been at least a Japanese explanation sheet available.

「船で行く」ということで、かなり外洋に出るのかと思ったら、シェラトンホテルの横で、びっくりでした。
そんな近くでマンタにお目にかかれるなんて・・・
この日は6匹くらいいました。
本当にすぐ近くに来てくれて、「いいのか！！」って思うくらいの近さでした。
人なれしているような、サービス精神旺盛のマンタたちでした。
レンタカーで集合場所まで行ったのですが、前日に下見していたので、遅刻することなく集合できました。
ただ、英語ガイドのみとはいえ、多少の配慮がほしかったと思います。
注意事項など全然わかりませんでした。
たまたま一緒に参加した日本人の女性が、英語ができたため解説していただけたので、とっても助かりました。

The manta rays are right there! マンタがすぐそこまで！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I went by rental car, but I initially parked in the parking lot next to the public restroom because I didn't realize the office was further in. As night fell, I became anxious and moved to the front of the office.

The instructions were all in English, so I felt a bit confused as I entered the water (most participants were foreigners). About 5 meters away from the boat, there was a large frame floating, and we swam to it one by one, with a buoy tucked under our armpits. Once I clung to the frame, manta rays started to approach me. I was so excited to encounter them suddenly that I began treading water, and the foreign tour guests kept telling me to lift my legs (since the manta rays wouldn't come close if my legs were down). However, I quickly got used to clinging to the frame and lifting my legs, allowing me to enjoy the graceful movements of two manta rays. The illumination from below was also enchanting.

It got quite cold, and when I got back on the boat, there were warm drinks and snacks prepared, which I indulged in. Since there was time until everyone returned, it's better to bring something to wear. Also, motion sickness medication is a must!

レンタカーで行ったのですが、事務所がさらに奥というのがわからずはじめは手前の公衆トイレ横の駐車場に止めていました。
夜も更けてくるとやはり不安になり奥の事務所前まで移動しました。

説明はもちろん全部英語だったので、わかったようなわからないような感じで、海に入りました。（参加者はほぼ外国人）
ボートから5mくらい離れたところに、でかい枠が浮いていてひとりずつ浮き棒を脇下に挟んだ形で、その枠まで泳いで行きます。
枠にしがみついたらもうマンタが寄ってきていました。
いきなり遭遇できたので興奮し立ち泳ぎになってしまい、外人ツアー客にしきりに足をあげろと注意されまくりでした。（足を浮かせないとマンタが近寄ってくれないので）
ですが、すぐに枠にしがみついて足を浮かせる体勢にも慣れ余裕が出てきたので、2頭のマンタの優雅な動きを満喫できました。
下からのライトアップもあって幻想的でした。

さすがに寒くなってボートにあがると温かいお湯や飲み物が用意してあって、
お菓子もいろいろとあったので食べてしまいました。
全員があがってくるまで時間があるので、羽織る物は持ち込んだ方が良いです。あと酔い止めは必須です！

For advanced users. 上級者向け

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

There were two mantas. A diver went underwater and shone a light from below to lure the mantas, while we floated above and watched.

The tour was conducted entirely in English (and at a fast pace), and there wasn't much explanation, so I think it would be tough for anyone who doesn't understand English to some extent and doesn't have snorkeling experience. However, if you have no issues with snorkeling, you might be fine even if you don't understand English. Also, since we were floating in the sea for a long time and the boat was rocking even after getting out of the water, I did experience quite a bit of seasickness.

I think the lack of transportation to and from the location is a downside. If you stay at the nearby Sheraton, it seems like you could walk there.

マンタは2匹いました。
ダイバーの人がもぐって下から明かりを当て、マンタをおびき寄せます。それを私達は上からぷかぷか浮きながら見るという感じです。

ツアーは全て英語（しかも早口）で、その説明もあまりないので、英語がある程度わかって、シュノーケルの経験もある人でないと厳しいのではないかと思います。
シュノーケリングに問題がない人は、英語はわからなくても大丈夫かもしれませんが。あと長時間海に浮いていたり、海から上がっても船も揺れているので、結構船酔いもしました。

送迎がないのが難点かと思います。近くのシェラトンに泊まれば歩いていけそうでした。

I went to the bay but couldn't find the office, so I asked people at the port... ^^; In the end, the location was at Keauhou Bay, towards the right back when facing the sea. It's behind the public restroom. It seems better to leave a bit earlier.

I chose fins and a mask that fit my size and quickly boarded the boat to depart. The manta rays are incredibly beautiful. They came as close as about 10 feet away from my body.

Before boarding, I asked if the water was cold, and they said it wasn't too bad. So, I wore two rash guards when I got in, but it was really cold in the second half. People who borrowed wetsuits from the office said they were cold too. (laughs)

I definitely think it's better to borrow a wetsuit in winter.

Even if it's not winter, kids should definitely borrow one.

In Japan, you rarely get to see these unless you're a diver, so I recommend it. If you can't swim, as long as you have a float, you'll be fine on this tour.

Time with the manta rays was filled with emotion and excitement! 感動と興奮のマンタとの時間☆

Reviewed by: くりち

I had no idea that manta rays were such cute and beautiful creatures. The excitement of watching them gracefully approach me while doing backflips in the light of the underwater lamps is beyond words... They came so close that I could see their big eyes and wide mouths clearly, and my family who joined me was also thrilled!

Even though it was snorkeling, you can hold onto a buoy on the surface and look underwater, so it's safe for those who can't swim. Although it was night snorkeling, they provided wetsuits, and the seawater warmed by the daytime sun wasn't as cold as I expected.

Watching the sunset from the boat, the clear sea, and the wild manta rays made for a truly wonderful activity where I could feel the great nature of the Big Island of Hawaii!

マンタがこんなに可愛くキレイな生き物だとは知りませんでした。
水中に設置されたライトの光の中、優雅にバックフリップしながら自分に近づいてくる時の興奮は、言葉に言い表せないほど…　マンタのつぶらな瞳と大きな口の中までしっかり見れるほど近づいてきてくれ、一緒に参加した家族も大喜びでした^^
シュノーケリングといっても、水面の浮き棒につかまって水中を眺めるので、泳げない人でも安心です。
夜のシュノーケリングですが、ウェットスーツも貸してくれ、また日中の太陽であったまった海水なので思ったより寒くありませんでした。
船から眺める夕陽、透明度の高い海、そして野生のマンタ！と、ハワイ島の大自然を感じることができる、とても素敵なアクティビティでした！

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＞

Really wonderful!! 本当にすばらしい！！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated with two people who hardly speak English. There were various explanations in English on the boat, and most of it was completely incomprehensible, which made me anxious until we got into the water... but once we were in the water, I completely forgot about those worries. A manta ray really came close to us. It came up right to the surface, so we were able to fully enjoy snorkeling. It was truly moving. I highly recommend this to anyone heading to the Big Island of Hawaii.

英語がほとんど××な二人で参加しました。
船の中で英語で色々と説明があり、大半はチンプンカンプンで、海に入るまでは不安がよぎり・・・でも、海に入ってからはそんな心配はすっかり忘れてしまっていました。
本当に近くまでマンタが近づいて来てくれました。水面ギリギリのとこまで上がってきてくれるので、シュノーケリングでも充分に堪能できました。
感動したなーーー。これからハワイ島に行く方は是非おススメです。

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＞　

Hawaii's ocean! ハワイの海！

Reviewed by: Yuki

I participated in the tour in the afternoon. It was my first time on a submarine, and I was very impressed to see so many fish.

The view of the ocean from underwater is completely different from what you see on the surface, and it's something you can only enjoy on a submarine! I went with friends, and we had a great time together.

午後からのツアーに参加しました。
潜水艦は初めてだったのですが、こんなにたくさんの魚がみれるなんてとても感動しました。

地上でみる海の景色とはまた違った景色で、潜水艦でしか楽しめません！
友達との参加で、わいわい盛り上がることができました。

Submarines are amazing! 潜水艦すごい！

Reviewed by: kosuke

Submarine tour! I was excited even before it started. It was a satisfying tour that was so easy to join in Kona, Hawaii. Scuba diving is great, but this felt like a good deal since we could visit various places in about an hour. Of course, the fish and coral reefs on the ocean floor were beautiful, and I was thrilled the entire time.

潜水艦ツアー！始まる前からわくわくしました。
ハワイ島のコナでこんなにお手軽に参加できて、満足できるツアーでした。
スキューバもいいですが、1時間くらいでいろんな場所を周れるのでお得な感じでした。
もちろん海底の魚やさんご礁はきれいで、ずっと興奮しっぱなしでした。

The sea of Hawaii from a submarine. 潜水艦でのハワイの海

Reviewed by: なな

During my several visits to Hawaii, this was my first time participating in a submarine tour. I didn't expect to see so many coral reefs and marine life so clearly. Among the various tours and marine sports available in Hawaii, this was by far the most interesting. I wish I had realized it sooner! Next time, I want to bring my family and participate together.

何度かハワイに来たことのある中で、今回始めて潜水艦ツアーに参加しました。
さんご礁や海の生物がこんなにはっきりとたくさん見れるとは思ってませんでした。
ハワイで楽しめるいろいろなツアーやマリンスポーツの中でもだんとつに面白かったです。
もっと早く気づけばよかった！！
今度は家族を連れてきて、一緒に参加したいです。

Beautiful sea. きれいな海

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

This tour allows you to truly experience the beautiful ocean of Hawaii. I was especially moved by the many fish around the sunken ship.

Since it was a one-hour tour, it was easy to participate. My friends and I had a great time, and it became a wonderful memory.

I want to join again the next time I go to Hawaii.

ハワイのきれいな海をさらに実感できるツアーです。
特に沈没船の周りにたくさんの魚を見ることができ、とても感動しました。

1時間のツアーなので、手軽に参加できました。
友達ともとても盛り上がって、いい思い出になりました。

次回ハワイに行ったときは、また参加したいです。

Submarine tour participation 潜水艦ツアー参加

Reviewed by: まゆ

The view of the ocean from the submarine was truly magical. I was moved when I saw the beautiful scenery, including coral reefs and schools of fish. It was reassuring to be able to listen to a Japanese guide through the headset, making it easy to participate.

While swimming in the ocean is nice, I was glad to have the experience of seeing the beautiful sea from deeper down. I think this is a must-do tour when visiting Hawaii.

潜水艦からみた海はとても幻想的でした。
とても美しい景色でさんご礁や魚の群れを見たときは感動しました。
ヘッドセットで日本語のガイドを聴くことができるので安心して参加できました。

海で泳ぐのもいいけれど、もっと深いところできれいな海を見る体験ができてよかったです。
ハワイにいったら欠かせないツアーだと思います。
