プライベートチャーター　ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング+イルカウォッチングツアー！GoProレンタルあり＜午前／日本語ガイド＞

I was able to see dolphins and manta rays up close! イルカもマンタも間近で見れました‼︎

Reviewed by: みいみい

It was my first time snorkeling, and also my first time entering deep water, but thanks to the staff who explained everything kindly and thoroughly, I was able to enjoy swimming with the dolphins!

It seems that the spots where you can encounter dolphins change depending on the day. I think it took about 30 minutes before we first met a dolphin, but after that, we were able to swim with them 4 to 5 times. The staff guided each participant to get as close to the dolphins as possible, and I felt like I could reach out and touch them as they swam so close!

That alone was satisfying, but by chance, we also encountered a seal, of which there are only seven on the Big Island! On our way back, we were able to see a manta ray up close as well!

The staff kept saying, "Since you've come all the way to the Big Island, I want you to make lots of memories," and they were always searching for more experiences for us.

Thanks to the thoughtfulness of the staff, I made the best memories, and I am very grateful! It seems that starting around September or October this year, there may be a possibility that swimming with dolphins will no longer be available, so please be sure to participate!

初めてのシュノーケリングで、しかも深い海に入ることも初めてでしたが、スタッフの皆さんが、優しく丁寧に説明してくださったので、楽しんでイルカと泳ぐことができました！
日によってイルカと出会えるスポットは違うようで、最初にイルカと出会えるまでは30分くらいかかったと思いますが、それからは4〜5回出会っては泳ぎを繰り返すことができました。イルカのなるべく近くに行けるようにと参加者それぞれを引っ張って誘導して下さったので、手を伸ばせば届くのではないかと思うくらい近くで泳ぐことができました！
それだけでも満足でしたが、偶然、ハワイ島に7頭しかいないアザラシにも遭遇！
また、帰る途中にはマンタも間近で見ることができました‼︎
「せっかくハワイ島に来たから、沢山思い出を作って欲しい」と言って、ずっと探して下さっていました。

スタッフ皆さんのお心遣いにより、最高の思い出ができ、とても感謝しています！
今年の9月？10月？ごろからは、イルカと一緒に泳げなくなる可能性があるようなので、是非参加してみてください♪

It was pure mystery! I experienced something breathtaking! 神秘そのもの！息をのむ。を体感しました！

Reviewed by: KAZUKI

The day before and on the day itself, unfortunately, there was light rain. I assumed a Japanese person would come to pick me up, but it was someone else, so I didn't realize at first, haha. I figured it out because the back of the T-shirt had "Manta University" written on it. For those who will be using this service, please keep that in mind! Haha.

After doing a lot of searching and research, I decided to go with Manta University based on reviews and prior reputation, and it was definitely the right choice. I had an amazing experience!

It seems that Manta University is highly rated by other tour companies as well, as everyone I spoke to said, "That place is great!" when I mentioned their name. The website was a bit hard to navigate (it really is quite confusing), and I chose them because a Japanese person said there would be a restroom, but there wasn't one. They were complaining during the briefing before boarding the boat, but I wish they had done their homework. Since half of the participants were foreigners, I felt a bit embarrassed as a fellow Japanese person.

Just a heads up, the boat for the manta tour on the Big Island does not have a restroom! Haha. Please keep that in mind!

Before departure, they provide explanations and help you put on the wetsuits. You need to specify your size when booking, but they will lend you a properly fitting size on-site, so those who are worried can feel at ease.

The boat ride to and from the site is quite bumpy and you will get wet. It’s cold, but that’s to be expected when you’re speeding across the ocean! Haha. This was my third tour, and although I could only chat a little, I was used to talking with foreigners, so I had a great time throughout. There was a lovely elderly couple from America; the man was very kind to his wife, and I thought, "I want to be like that couple."

My wife can't swim and this was her first time in the ocean, so I was honestly a bit worried, but our guide, Toriama (Tori-chan), was very kind and attentive, so she was able to snorkel in the night sea with me until the end!

The manta rays were just amazing! I was so happy to see them! From the moment they appeared right in front of me to their graceful gliding, everything was incredible!! I felt like I came just to see the mantas, so it was the best experience ever!!

We talked about wanting to go see dolphins next! Manta University comes highly recommended.

P.S. Mantas appear to feed on plankton that gather around lights, and I saw other tour companies claiming their lights are stronger than others, but when I asked a knowledgeable friend in the marine world, it seems that doesn’t really matter, haha. Since we’re dealing with nature, there will be times when you can’t see them, and other times when many come. During my tour, three mantas showed up.

When choosing a tour company, I recommend considering whether they have Japanese guides, the level of care they provide, and the details of their services. Please avoid getting distracted by unclear services and the desire to have a better experience than others!

The Big Island is the best! I will definitely come back!

前日、当日は生憎の小雨模様でした。
日本人の方が迎えに来てくれると思い込んでいましたが、違ったので最初わかりませんでした笑
Tシャツの背中側の上にマンタ大学と書いてあったのでわかりました。
利用される方は参考にしてくださいね！笑

色々探したり調べて、口コミや前評判からマンタ大学さんにお願いしましたが、間違いありませんでしたよ。
最高な体験ができました！

マンタ大学さんは、他のツアー会社にも評価は高いようで、名前を出したら、あそこはいいですよ！と、どのツアーの方も仰っていました。
ホームページが見ずらかったのか(たしかにわかりづらいですよね)、日本の方がトイレ付きだから選んだのに。ないんなら他を選んでいた。と、船に乗る前の説明で文句を言っていましたが、ちゃんと下調べはして欲しいものです。海外の方が半数だったので、同じ日本人として、少し恥ずかしかったですね。

ハワイ島のマンタツアーの船にトイレはありませんよー！笑
参考にしてくださいね！笑

出発前に説明とウェットスーツの着用をしてくれます。申し込み時にサイズを言わなければいけませんが、現地にて自分にちゃんと合ったサイズのものを貸してくれるので、不安な方は安心してくださいね。

行き帰りの船はかなり揺れます。そして濡れます。
寒いです。そりゃ海の上を突っ走りますから、まぁ当然ですよね！笑
この時はもうツアー3回目で触り程度しか話せない2人ですが、海外の方とのおしゃべりも慣れていたので終始楽しかったです。
アメリカ出身の老夫婦が素敵でした。男性が奥さんにとても優しくあんな夫婦になりたいと思いました。

私の妻は泳げない&海も人生初。で、正直不安でしたがガイドのトリヤマさん(トリちゃん)が優しく、またちゃんと気にしてくれていたので、夜の海でのシュノも最後まで一緒にすることができました！

マンタは、もう最高でした！会えて幸せでした♫
目の前に、ヌーーッと現れるところから、ヒラリヒラリと舞う姿も、全てがヤバかったです！！
私はマンタに会いに来たようなモノだったので最高な体験ができました！！

次はイルカに通いたいと夫婦で話しましたよ♫
マンタ大学さんはオススメです。

追記
光に集まるプランクトンを食いにマンタが現れるのですが、他のツアー会社の説明に他者よりライトの光が強い！等を見かけましたが、ちゃんとした海の友人に聞いたところ、関係ないようです笑
自然世界を相手にしているので、見れない時もあるでしょう。また、たくさん来てくれる時もあるでしょう。私の時は、3枚のマンタちゃんが来てくれました。
ツアー会社を選ぶ際には、日本人ガイドがいるか。
ケアはどうか。サービス内容は。等で選考するのをオススメします。よくわからないサービスに目を奪われて、他人よりいい思いをしようという思いにかられない様にして選んでくださいね！

ハワイ島最高ー♫
また来ます、必ず！

I encountered a manta ray! マンタに出会えた！

Reviewed by: HWi

I participated in the Manta University Night Dive.

The guide was Tori. She was a very considerate and great guide.

We boarded a boat and headed out to the Sheraton off Kailua-Kona. The boat was going at an amazing speed, and it felt great. During sunset, the boat was stopped in a position that made it easy to take pictures.

At the manta viewing point, we just floated while holding onto the SUP boards! At first, no mantas came, but gradually many appeared, swimming right in front of us. I was moved by the mantas swimming and rotating just inches from my nose.

Reluctantly, we headed back after about 30 minutes.

On the way back, the lights of Kailua-Kona were beautiful. I would love to participate again to meet the amazing mantas with the attentive guide. Thank you!

ガイドはトリさんでした。
とても気遣いされる良いガイドさんでした。

ボートに乗り、カイルアコナのシェラトン沖へ。
ボートはすごいスピードで気持ちいい感じです。
途中、サンセットタイムではボートを見易い向きで停めて頂き写真が取れました。

マンタを見るポイントではSUPのボードに捕まって浮いてるだけ！最初はマンタ来なかったですが、だんだんたくさん来て、正に目の前を回遊してくれました。
鼻先すれすれを回転しながら泳ぐマンタに感動。
名残惜しくも30分位で帰路へ。

帰りはカイルアコナの街の光が綺麗でした。
丁寧なガイドさんと感動のマンタに会いにまた参加したいと思います。

I was nervous, but it was the best. 緊張したけど、最高

Reviewed by: かーこ

I chose this tour because it mentioned that there would be a restroom on the boat, but I was shocked to find out there was none. In the end, it turned out I didn't need it, but if there wasn't one, it would have been the same as the others. Everything else was fantastic. At first, I thought the manta rays wouldn't come, and I was about to give up, but they showed up in the second half. Our tour guide, Tori, was very encouraging to us as it was our first time snorkeling, and we had a great time. The night sea was a bit scary, but if you're going to Hawaii Island, I definitely recommend this tour.

予約する時、船にトイレがあるとなっていたので、こちらを選んだのですが、参加してみたら船にはトイレがなくショック
結果的には行かなくて大丈夫でしたが、ないなら他と同じだったな・・と
それ以外は最高でした
最初はマンタが来なくて、駄目かなと諦めてたら後半は来てくれました
ツアーガイドのトリちゃんが初めてのシュノーケルだった私たちに色々声を掛けてくれて、とても楽しかったです
夜の海はちょっと怖かったけど、ハワイ島へ行くなら絶対おすすめです

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　 レジェンズ・オブ・ハワイ（ヒルトンワイコロアビレッジ）＜日・火・金催行／ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題＞

It was incredibly impressive and very satisfying. 大迫力で大満足

Reviewed by: KAZUKI

I chose the exclusive VIP seating because I wanted a good spot. Honestly, I would have preferred to sit facing the stage, but it can't be helped due to the seating arrangement. It's a good idea to line up early!

The seating is at a long table, so you'll be sharing with others. I recommend sitting next to someone rather than across from them.

The buffet offers a wide selection, and it's delicious. The table attendant was a nice guy who was very attentive, which made for an even more enjoyable time.

The hula and luau show is quite long, and I think you'll be satisfied with it! I believe it's something you should experience at least once.

いい席で見たくてexclusive vipにしました。正直正面がよかったですが、並び順なので仕方ないですね。早めに並ぶといいですよ！
席は長テーブルなので相席になります。向かい合わせより、隣りがオススメ。
ビュッフェはたくさんの中から選べ、また美味しいです。テーブル担当のおじさんがいい人でよく気にしてくれてさらに楽しいひと時になりました。
フラ&ルアウのshowは、割と長くて満足できると思いますよ！一回は体験してみるべきだと思います♪

Our guide Joe was very knowledgeable about astronomy. It was cool to see the top of Mauna Kea and observatories. We went during a half moon and the star visibility was still very good. The mountain is above the vog, so you should be able to see the stars even if the vog is a problem.

マウナケア山頂夕陽と星空観測ツアー ガイド撮影の一眼カメラ写真を無料ご提供！＜夕食付き／英語ガイド＞by マサシネイチャースクール

It was a disappointing sunset due to the thick clouds. 雲が厚くて残念なサンセットでした。

Reviewed by: LEO

At the summit, it was below freezing with thick clouds, and the sun became a blurred silhouette without any gaps in the clouds. However, our guide, Jin, patiently captured the perfect photo opportunities. The air at the summit was indeed thinner than I had expected. We descended to a point where the clouds cleared, and using a pointer for stargazing, we had a lecture about myths related to the constellations, which was very enjoyable.

山頂は氷点下で雲が厚く、雲の切れ間がなくぼやけた太陽のシルエットになってしまいましたが、ガイドのJINさんが粘り強くシャッターチャンスを捉えてくれました。
山頂は思っていたより本当に酸素が薄かったです。
雲が切れるとこポイントまで下り、ポインターを使っての星空観測は星座に関する神話等々のレクチャーで、とても楽しかったです。

I was deeply moved by the power of the manta rays! マンタの迫力に大感動です！

Reviewed by: LEO

The magnificent sunset seen from the sea and the flying fish skimming the surface build excitement as we ride a thrilling boat, reminiscent of being on a banana boat.

Wearing a wetsuit, fins, and goggles, I floated while holding onto the raft's rope. A three-meter manta ray approached the raft, showing its patterned belly and opening its large mouth, spinning close to us multiple times. The sheer power of the experience left me completely overwhelmed and deeply moved. It was truly a precious and emotional experience.

ポイントにつくまでに見られる海上からの雄大なサンセットと海面を飛び続けるトビウオ、バナナボートに乗っているかのようなスリル満点の船で期待感が高まります。
ウェットスーツ、足ひれ、ゴーグルをつけ筏のロープに腕を伸ばした状態でつかまり浮いていると筏のブルーライトに寄ってくるプランクトンめがけて3メートル大のマンタが斑模様のおなかを見せながら大きな口を開けて私たちスレスレに何度も回転する様子には、あまりの迫力にただただ圧倒され感動するばかりでした。本当に貴重な感動体験ができました。

Hawaiian Canoe Paddling Tour Adventure from Waikoloa on Hawaii Island - Hulakai

Fun Activity, Saw a Turtle

Reviewed by: Mary from San Diego

This was a fun activity, and totally safe. Our 4 yr old was not too excited at first, but later enjoyed it as we went out into the ocean. The highlight for her was getting to touch the water while sitting in the canoe, and seeing a turtle swimming close to us. The guide was experienced, and wanted to play safe since we had a young kid, but later realized that we could handle going out further into the ocean. It was a blast.

It was great, but I started to feel sleepy halfway through... 最高でしたが...途中から眠気が...

Reviewed by: だまさ

The buffet was abundant with all-you-can-drink options, and the meat dishes were particularly delicious (though the seasoning was a bit strong). I spent a leisurely time watching the sunset, and although there were hardly any Japanese people around, it felt like a family atmosphere, as mentioned in someone else's experience. I chatted a bit with the couples and families nearby, but I think it would have been an even better dinner if I had stronger English skills! However, since the time was long, I found myself battling sleepiness in the second half...

豊富なビュッフェに飲み放題、特に肉類は美味しかったです(味付け濃いめでしたが)。
サンセットを見ながら、ゆっくり過ごし、日本人はほとんどいませんでしたが、どなたかの体験談にもあったように周りの席とは家族のような感じでした。
周りの夫妻や家族と少し会話しましたが、自分に英語力があればもっといいディナーになっていたとおもいます！
ただ時間が長いので後半は睡魔との戦いでした...

Reviewed by: ともちゃん

I was worried about altitude sickness, and even when I wanted to go to Mauna Kea during my past trip to the Big Island, I couldn't. This time, my husband really wanted to go, so I decided to join him.

To put it simply, I had no worries at all and was able to go and come back feeling great. I only felt a little short of breath at times. There were some people in the tour who felt unwell, but it seemed that oxygen inhalation resolved their issues.

Above all, I was moved by the indescribably beautiful orange color of the sun sinking into the sea of clouds. The Earth is amazing!! And then, the stars we saw afterward sparkled even more than in a planetarium...

I'm so glad I participated!!

I highly recommend that you go and experience it for yourself!!

Amazing experience

This experience is certainly off the beaten pack and is an amazing way to explore the nearly inaccessible Waipio Valley.
We met at the meeting point and we were driven down into the valley down one of the gnarliest roads I've ever been on in a 4x4 to the stables.
We were introduced to our horses and led on a serene trek through the valley. We went through rivers and around small holdings that are dotted around the valley. We marvelled, from a distance, at incredible waterfalls as we trekked through paths with fields on one side and jungle on the other. It was awesome.
Our guide was great and it's something we'll both always remember. We're not riders but we're extremely well looked after.
It was great. Thank you!!

Took our family on this excursion and had a great time. Kevin was very knowledgeable about the area and gave great directions for sea kayaking. Our family likes the water but we had never sea kayaked before. The sea cave was my favorite and the kids loved the snorkeling. The optional cliff jump was a blast for me (43) and Kevin gave great directions to keep feet together, arms at side, and stay vertical. Kids may have a hard time following the directions as instinct is to flail arms when falling and if they do then it will be unpleasant when they hit the water. The snacks Kevin brought were refreshing after our adventure. We had a great time and would do it again.

I was thrilled to see so many manta rays! たくさんのマンタに感激！

Reviewed by: yukikuo

I booked this tour because it comes with a Japanese guide. I forgot that I needed to contact them after arriving in Hawaii, and on the day of the tour, I hurriedly made a phone call, but there were no issues.
The participants were half Japanese and half foreigners. The guide was a friendly American woman in her twenties who spoke a little Japanese. The atmosphere on the boat was pleasant throughout.
About 30 minutes after departure, we arrived at the spot. We floated a buoy that looked like a glowing surfboard in the sea and waited for the manta rays to come. Once we confirmed that the manta rays were approaching, we all got into the water, held onto the buoy, and looked at the manta rays with our faces in the water. The manta rays swirled around, coming close to the light and then moving away, repeating this several times, and they came quite close, which was thrilling. On this day, the manta rays approached our buoy about 7 to 8 times. The night sea was cold, and since we couldn't stay in the water for too long, we were lucky to see them for a bit.

日本人ガイドがつくということで、こちらのツアーを予約しました。ハワイ到着後に連絡を入れなければならないことを忘れており、ツアー当日に慌てて電話をしましたが、問題ありませんでした。
ツアー参加者は日本人と外国人が半々。ガイドは20代くらいのアメリカ人女性でした。日本語は少し話せる程度でしたが、フレンドリーな性格で船上は終始和やかな雰囲気でした。
出港して30分ほどでポイントに到着。光を放つサーフボードのような浮きを海に浮かべ、マンタが寄ってくるのを待ちます。マンタが近づいてきたのを確認し、みんなで水に入り浮きにつかまりながら顔を水につけてマンタを見学。マンタはくるくると旋回しながら光に近づいては離れ、を繰り返しますが、かなり近くまでやってくるので迫力満点。この日は７～８回マンタが私たちの浮きに近づいてきました。夜の海は水が冷たく体が冷えるのであまり長く水中にいられないため、少ししか見られないこともあるようですので、私たちはラッキーでした。

It was a reservation for the day we arrived on the Big Island. Most of the guests were foreigners, and there were a lot of people in line. The weather wasn't great, and they were handing out simple ponchos while we waited. My wife's poncho seemed to be a bit defective, and she struggled to put it on, but several foreigners in line helped her, and she finally managed to wear it. It was a fun memory. As for the show, it started to rain heavily around the time we were having dinner, and the drinks became watered down, so due to the fatigue from the flight, we ended up leaving before the show started. What a shame! However, it seemed that the foreigners were enjoying themselves despite the rain.

Upon arriving at the bay with the Captain Cook monument, it was finally time for snorkeling. I was worried about whether my six-year-old daughter and my 66-year-old father would be able to participate, but there were plenty of floaties and body wraps available, so we could enjoy it with peace of mind. The water was a bit cold, but it was great to see so many colorful fish.

On the return trip, we encountered a pod of dolphins. Dolphins gathered from all around, swimming alongside the boat and jumping around us. We were able to see their cute appearances and behaviors for about 20 minutes, which was very moving.

I created many wonderful memories. Next time I visit the Big Island, I definitely want to join the Fair Wind snorkeling tour again. Thank you very much.

私は４月末に、家族四人＆私の父と母、の合計６人で参加しました。

目的地に着くまでの一時間程、船の旅も気持ちよく楽しいものでした。ドリンクやスナックが用意されていて、自由に取りに行く形でした。
スタッフの方々もとても明るく親切で、それぞれにあったサイズのシュノーケル、フィンも手際よく用意してくれました。

キャプテンクックの記念碑がある湾に到着し、いよいよシュノーケルです。
娘は６歳、私の父は66歳だったので出来るか心配していましたが、浮き輪や体に巻き付ける浮具がたくさん用意されていたので、安心して楽しめました。海は少し冷たかったですが、カラフルな魚がたくさん見れて良かったです。

帰りの船ではイルカの群れに遭遇しました。あちこちからイルカがたくさん集まってきて、船と並んで泳いだり、周りでジャンプしたり、、
20分ほどイルカの可愛い姿や仕草が見れて、
とっても感動しました。
本当に素敵な思い出がたくさんできました。

次回、ハワイ島に行くときは必ずまたフェアウィンド号のシュノーケルツアーに参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

Dolphin watching & snorkelling

Reviewed by: Chris P

Great day, great crew. Extremely safety conscious company. We had a rough ride a fair way so it was good to feel in safe hands. Saw many dolphins and a few turtles too.
