The guide and his team was awesome. They took care of us very well. It was almost an hour kayak on the wavy sea to the cliff. We also saw dolphins. We did a cliff jumping which was very awesome! Overall, recommended!

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー　滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く！＜午前・午後／英語ガイド／食事付＞by フェアウィンド号

Excellent transparency! 透明度抜群！

Reviewed by: らがお

The clarity of the ocean was outstanding, and there were plenty of fish, which made it very enjoyable. Since it was a plan without transportation, I thought the directions to the parking lot and from the parking lot to the boat were a bit unclear, but it was manageable.

The explanations were in English, but they provided written instructions in Japanese regarding snorkeling precautions, so that was also manageable. The meeting point before the boat departs only has one restroom, so there might be a bit of a wait, but there is a restroom on the boat as well, so it's fine.

Once on the boat, you need to secure your preferred seating early if you want to enjoy your meal comfortably, so be cautious about that. In the morning, the muffins were delicious, and the lunch burgers were tasty too.

The explanation regarding the vests and floaties for snorkeling was, "Feel free to use what you like according to your level." In a previous tour I took in Oahu, wearing a life vest was mandatory, which made swimming difficult, so I appreciated this flexibility. I think if you're accustomed to snorkeling, a vest isn't necessary. If you wear fins, your body will float.

There was about an hour of free time upon arrival. Even with lunch in between, we had plenty of time to enjoy snorkeling, which was great. Before heading back, I was able to take a freshwater shower at the right timing, but if you miss that opportunity, there are no shower facilities nearby, so you have to go back to the hotel as is.

Still, I can truly recommend this for those who want to swim in a highly transparent ocean.

海の透明度が抜群で、魚も沢山いて、とても楽しめました。
送迎無しのプランでしたので、駐車場の場所と、駐車場から船までの場所の案内が、少しわかりづらかったかなとも思いましたが、まあ、何とかなります。
説明は英語のみですが、シュノーケリングの注意事項等は、日本語で書いた説明文を見せてくれますので、これも、何とかなります。
船が出るまでの待ち合わせ場所になっている所には、トイレが１つあるだけですので、ちょっと並んだりもしますが、船にもトイレはありますから、大丈夫。
船に乗ったら、自分たちの座りたい席は、早めにキープしないと、ゆっくり座って食事が出来なくなりますので、注意が必要です。
朝は、マフィンが美味しかった。ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングの時のベストや浮き輪は、「自分のレベルに合わせて、好きな物を使って下さいね」という程度の説明。以前、オアフで利用したツアーは、ライフベスト必ず着用でしたので、泳ぎにくくて辛かったので、これは私達にはありがたいなと思いました。
シュノーケリングに慣れている人ならば、ベストは必要無いと思いました。フィンを付けていれば、身体は浮くので。
到着して１時間程度のフリータイム。ランチをはさんでもう１時間程度、たっぷりシュノーケリングが楽しめて、良かったです。
帰る前の船に上がるタイミングで真水のシャワーを浴びる事が出来ましたが、そのタイミングを逃すと、戻っても近くにシャワーの設備等がありませんので、そのままホテルまで戻るしかありません。
それでも、透明度の高い海で泳ぎたい方には、本当におすすめできます。

野生のイルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜朝食・昼食付き＞

I highly recommend it. かなりお薦めです

Reviewed by: たこっち

I participated with my first grader, and the large boat provided stability, complete with restrooms, fruit service, and hamburger service, so my child ended up sleeping on the way back. They had fins and goggles available in child sizes, and although we brought our own, I felt we didn't really need them.

We saw dolphins swimming alongside the boat, and the snorkeling was at a different location from the dolphin point. However, it was a relaxed experience, unlike the frantic rush to see dolphins, allowing my child to play comfortably. They provided floats for kids, making it enjoyable even for those who can't dive.

If you're in the mood, you can dive into the sea from the second floor or slide down the slide (which ends at the first floor, giving a feeling of falling for the rest), and we stayed at the points until the afternoon, really enjoying a leisurely time.

Actually, I previously participated in a dolphin swimming tour on a small boat, and we were quite frantic moving from point to point to achieve our goal, which left me exhausted and seasick. This time, I intentionally chose a different type of tour, and considering the longer duration, lunch included, and nearly unlimited drinks, the price wasn't much different, making it highly recommended.

The explanation before diving is entirely in English, but somehow the important points get across. Enjoy!

小学一年生を連れての参加でしたが、大きな船で安定感もあり、トイレ完備、フルーツサービスあり、ハンバーガーサービスありで、すっかり帰りは寝ていました。
フィンもゴーグルも子供サイズが揃っており、自前で持っていきましたが「要らなかったな」という感想です。
イルカは船と並走してるのを見て、シュノーケルはイルカポイントとは別の場所でした。だけど、必死でイルカに会うために移動を続けるのとは違って、気持ちに余裕も あって、子供も安心して遊んでました。
子供用にフロートを出してくれたり、潜れない人でも充分楽しめます。
気分が乗れば、二階から海にダイブしたり、滑り台(一階までで切れてて、残りは落ちる感がありますが)でダイブしたり、昼過ぎまでポイントにいて、本当にゆっくり楽しめました。

実は以前、小型ボートでイルカと泳ごうツアーに参加したんですが、目的達成のために結構必死でポイントを移動したのでぐったり疲れてしまったのと、酔ってしまった思い出があって、今回は敢えて違うタイプに参加したのですが、所要時間の長さとお昼つき、ドリンクもほぼ自由でお値段もたいして変わらないので、かなりのお薦めとなりました。

潜る前の説明は思い切り英語ですが、何となく重要な事は伝わります。。楽しんでください！

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

It's a highly satisfying tour that both kids and adults can really enjoy! 子供も大人もめっちゃ楽しめる大満足のツアーです♪

Reviewed by: yukari

I wanted to go snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, and I was drawn to this tour because of its packed itinerary. My husband, our two daughters (in 6th and 4th grade), and I participated as a family of four. We brought our own snorkeling gear from Japan. The kids were nervous about their first rafting boat ride, so they put on their life jackets before boarding and chose seats at the back where the rocking was relatively mild. However, as soon as we set sail, we encountered dolphins, and we were thrilled to see a pod of seven or eight swimming around the boat. When the staff invited us to move to the front, we eagerly did so. The staff supported our daughters from behind as they squealed with joy at the bouncing of the boat and the splashes of water. Once they got used to it, the boat made turns and created G-forces, making it feel like an amusement park ride! We even encountered a rare mother and baby whale during the summer. They came so close that we could almost touch them, which was moving.

The long-awaited Kealakekua Bay had high transparency, and we were able to swim to our heart's content among the coral and tropical fish. The kids were very happy to take off their life jackets and dive into the water during the middle of the snorkeling time (something that wouldn’t be allowed on tours in Japan), and they borrowed noodles (floating sticks) to play with, looking very satisfied. After snorkeling, while we were leisurely cruising in the bay, we encountered a pod of dozens of dolphins. A baby dolphin performed a beautiful spin jump right next to the boat, and everyone on board applauded! There were 12 passengers in total, and we were the only Japanese family; the others were from various places like New York and Australia. The friendly atmosphere provided a great stimulus for my daughters, who hardly understood any English. The view of the lava cliffs from the sea on the way back was incredibly impressive.

When it came time to tip the captain, I noticed that foreign guests were giving about $10 each, totaling around $40 for our group of four. Unfamiliar with the tipping customs and unsure of the going rate, I regretted that my tip might have been a bit low. The staff's hospitality was outstanding, which made me feel even more that way. My daughters had the biggest smiles, exclaiming, "We had so much fun!!" While there are tour coupon tickets available at the airport and other locations, they only accept phone reservations and do not accommodate Japanese speakers, so I would like to rely on VELTRA, which allows for reservations from Japan, for the next opportunity. I definitely want to participate again!

ケアラケクア湾でシュノーケルがしたくて、盛り沢山の内容に惹かれてこのツアーに参加しました。夫と私、小6と小４の娘の家族4人での参加。日本から自分たちのシュノーケルの道具を持参しました。子供たちは初めてのラフティングボートに緊張の様子で、乗船前からマイライフジャケットを装着し、揺れが比較的小さいという船尾に陣取りました。が、いざ出航してすぐイルカに遭遇し、７，８頭の群れがいくつもボートを取り囲むように泳ぐ姿に大興奮で、スタッフが「前においで」と誘ってくれるまま、船首に移動。船のバウンドとかかる波しぶきにキャーキャー喜ぶ娘たちをスタッフの方が後ろからサポートしてくださいました。慣れてきたころには、船を旋回してGをかけてくれたり、遊園地のアトラクションばりの面白さ！夏には珍しいクジラの親子にも遭遇しました。手を伸ばせば触れそうな距離まで近寄ってきてくれ、感動しました。待望のケアラケクア湾は透明度が高く、珊瑚と熱帯魚たちと心ゆくまで泳ぐことができました。子供たちもシュノーケルタイム中盤からはライフジャケットを外して海の中に潜ったり（コレは日本のツアーではさせてくれないことなので、とても喜んでました。）、ヌードル（浮き棒）を借りて遊んだり、大満足の様子でした。シュノーケル後、ゆっくり湾の中をクルージングしているとき、何十頭ものイルカの群れに遭遇しました。その中でベイビーイルカが船の横で華麗に回転ジャンプを披露してくれ、船内一同拍手！12名の同乗者、日本人は私たち家族だけで、他の方はニューヨークやオーストラリア、さまざまな場所からの参加でした。終始フレンドリーな雰囲気で英語がほとんど分からない娘たちにもすごくいい刺激になりました。帰りの海から見る溶岩の断崖はすごい迫力でした。最後にキャプテンにチップを渡すとき、外国の方は一人当たり１０＄、4人組で４０＄ほど渡していました。チップの習慣に不慣れで、チップの相場に疎い私は自分のチップはちょっと少なかったかなと、後悔。スタッフさんのホスピタリティが素晴らしかったので、余計にそう思いました。「すごく楽しかった！！」と娘たちは最高の笑顔。現地に行けば、空港等にツアーのクーポン券などもありますが、電話予約オンリーで日本語NGなので、日本で予約できる安心のVELTRAさんに次の機会もお願いしたいと思います。また、ぜひ参加したいです。

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Stellar Adventure

Reviewed by: Andy

This was truly one of the more amazing ventures we have done. The guides were knowledgeable and professional. We learned about the various international observatories, saw a phenomenal sunset above the clouds at nearly 14,000 feet and then were treated to astrological viewing that was incredible. Just a spectacular evening.

The only negative comment I have is the seating in the vans, particular if you are 6' or taller is very tight. That said, it is still a very worthwhile adventure.

This time, I participated with my mother. Last year, I went to Oahu with my friends and saw wild dolphins for the first time. I wanted my mother to experience that excitement too, so I joined this tour, hoping to be guided by Daisuke, based on everyone's reviews! Just as the reviews said, Daisuke's love for dolphins and his strong desire for us to see them really came through, and I couldn't stop feeling excited from the car ride there! In reality, we encountered many dolphins, including a newborn dolphin that Daisuke said he had never seen before, which was incredibly thrilling! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii Island again, I would definitely want to join this tour. The boat was very rocky until we got out to sea, so I think it's safer for those who are prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication. For those participating in the tour, please enjoy it with peace of mind!

今回、母と2人で参加しました。
去年、友達とオアフ島に行き野生のイルカを初めてみました。母にもあの感動を味わってもらいたくて、初のハワイ島で皆さんの口コミを参考にぜひダイスケさんに案内してもらいたくこちらのツアーに参加させて頂きました！
口コミ通り、ダイスケさんのイルカに対する愛や、わたし達に絶対イルカを見てもらいたいという想いが物凄く伝わってきて行きの車中からワクワクが止まらなかったです！実際、たくさんのイルカや、ダイスケさんも初めて見たと言ってた産まれたてのイルカの赤ちゃんにも遭遇でき物凄く興奮しました！またハワイ島に行く機会があれば必ず参加したいツアーです。沖に出るまでの船がとても揺れる為、船酔いしやすい方は酔い止めを内服された方が安心だと思います。ツアーに参加される方、安心して楽しんできてくださいね。

If you come to the Big Island, you absolutely must go!! I highly recommend it♪♪ ハワイ島に来たなら、絶対に行くべきっ！！絶対にお勧め♪♪

Reviewed by: SANAE

I joined this tour because my husband wanted to see the sunset and the starry sky. First, we picked up participants from the hotel one by one. On this day, there were 13 participants in total, filling one bus (4 individuals, 4 couples, and 1 solo traveler). Since the Big Island of Hawaii is large, it took some time for pickups, but we stopped by a small shop along the way to pass the time (about 20 minutes). The guide provided very thorough explanations and shared various information about the Big Island.

Since the elevation is higher than Mount Fuji, we had an early dinner (around 4 PM) to acclimatize our bodies and took a restroom break. I was worried about altitude sickness, but the guide kept reminding us to drink water every 10 minutes, take deep breaths, and absolutely not to sleep!!! I only felt a slight headache, so I was okay. When we got off partway up the mountain, it was my first experience feeling the thin air and physical strain.

By the time we reached the summit, my body had acclimatized. Unfortunately, there were many clouds that day, and it rained on and off, but I was deeply moved and felt a sense of mystery as we barely managed to see the sunset. A little below the summit, we began our star observation! Due to the clouds, the guide had us wait in the car for a while until the clouds cleared. I believe the guides were considerate to ensure we could see the stars in the best possible conditions.

The moment we got out of the car, it felt like the stars were falling right above us!!!! After a while, the clouds covered the sky again, so we moved to another spot to observe the stars. There was some wind, and even when the clouds obscured our view, if we waited a bit, we saw even more stars than before!!!! We could even see the Milky Way clearly!!! Looking sideways, there were stars, and it made me realize that the Earth is round.

Additionally, the guide explained the constellations with a super laser beam, making it feel like an impromptu lecture, which was fun!

What was great about this tour was that it included warm clothing, which is not offered by other tours. Even though we waited outside for a long time without seeing stars, thanks to the warm clothing, I didn’t feel cold at all and enjoyed snacks and drinks. I heard that other tours leave if the stars aren’t visible (in fact, there were no other tour groups around).

Moreover, the guide took photos with a high-quality camera that he purchased out of his own pocket, and we could download them for free! Normally, they would charge for this, but he said, “Memories over records,” and provided this as a service. I deducted one star because it was cloudy and not all stars were visible, which was disappointing.

If you come to the Big Island, I wholeheartedly recommend Masashi Nature School!!! Thank you for everything!!!

主人が、夕日と星空を見たいと言っていたのでこのツアーに参加しました。
まず、順々にホテルから参加者をピックアップしていきます。
この日は、１台のバス満員で１３人参加でした。
（４人参加、カップル参加４組、１人参加）
ハワイ島は広いので、ピックアップに時間かかりますが、途中ちょっとしたお店に寄り、時間を潰したりしました。（約20分）
ガイドさんがとても丁寧に説明して下さり、ハワイ島についての情報など色々教えて頂きました。
富士山よりも標高が高いので、身体を慣れさすために、途中で早めの（16時ぐらい）夕食（お弁当）を取り、トイレに行ったりしました。
高山病を心配しましたが、ガイドさんが登ってる間、水を１０分おきにとること、深呼吸をしっかりすること、絶対に寝ない事！！！ずーっとおっしゃってくれていたので、じゃっかん頭痛を感じたぐらいで、大丈夫でした。山頂の途中で降りた時は、身体がしんどく空気が薄いと感じた初めての体験でした。

山頂に着くと、身体も慣れてきてきました。この日は、あいにく雲が多く雨が降ったり止んだりでしたが、夕日はかろうじて見れて大変感動し、神秘的でした。
山頂から少し下ったところで、いざ★の観察！雲が多く、ガイドさんが雲が履けるまでしばらく車の中で待機していました。
おそらく感動してもらう為に、一番いい状態で見てもらう為にガイドさん達が配慮してくれたのだと思います。
車からでた瞬間、頭上に★が降ってくるかのようでした！！！！
しばらくすると、雲で覆われてしまい、場所を移動しそこで★を観察。風もあったので、
雲がかかって見えなくなっても、しばらく待っているとさっきよりも★が沢山★★★！！！！
なんと天の川もくっきりみえました！！！
真横にみても★があり、地球は丸いんだなーと感じさせられました。
また、ガイドさんが、超レイザービームで星座の説明をして頂き、即席講座みたいな感じで楽しかったです♪

このツアーで良かったのは、他のツアーにはない、防寒具が付いていること。
★が見えなくてかなり外で待っていましたが、防寒具のお陰で、全然寒くなく飲み物お菓子など頂きました。他のツアーだと星がみえないと帰ってしまうそうです。
（実際、他のツアーの方はいませんでした）
また何より、ガイドさんが自腹で購入した超高画質カメラで、写真を撮って頂き、無料でダウンロードできるところ！本来お金を取られるとこですが、”記憶より記録”と言って、サービスだそうです。
★を一個減らしたのは、曇りで全部★というわけではなかったので、残念な気持ちで減らしました。
ハワイ島にきたら、是非、マサシネイチャースクール、心からお勧めします！！！！！
色々ありがとうございました！！！！！

The guide was wonderful! ガイドの方が素晴らしい！

Reviewed by: asako

I participated with my parents.

The location of the shop was a bit hard to find, and we got lost, but the staff were very kind, which made us feel at ease. The rafting boat was faster and more thrilling than I imagined, but it felt great and was a lot of fun! We stopped at a point where we could see dolphins, and they explained the history of Hawaii (in English). The snorkeling spot was also wonderfully beautiful, and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. My mother, who said she would wait on the boat, ended up enjoying snorkeling as well, and our whole family was very satisfied!

For lunch, we had turkey sandwiches on the boat, and afterwards, they cut up fresh pineapple right there, which was a big hit with all the guests. After snorkeling, on our way back to the port, we stopped by some lava cliffs to take pictures.

Since you can get quite sunburned, it's better to apply sunscreen frequently. Our family got so caught up in snorkeling that our backs got completely burned (laughs).

Since we met at the location, I wish there was a more helpful map for the meeting point; otherwise, it was such a wonderful experience that I would give it a perfect score. I want to go again!!

親と三人で参加してきました。

ちょっとお店の場所が分かりづらくて、迷いましたがスタッフさんがとても言い方で安心しました。
ラフティングボートは想像以上に速くてスリリングでしたが、すごく気持ちが良くて楽しかったです！
イルカに会えるポイントで停まったり、ハワイの歴史を説明してくれたり（英語）、シュノーケリングスポットも素晴らしくキレイでツアーを堪能できました。
ボートで待っていると言っていた母もすっかりシュノーケリングを楽しみ家族全員大満足です！
ランチはボートの上でターキーサンドを頂いて、そのあとにパイナップルをその場で切ってくれてお客さん皆から大好評。
シュノーケリングが終わって、港に戻る途中で溶岩の岸壁にいくつか立ち寄り写真を撮ってくれました。

かなり焼けるので、日焼け止めはこまめに塗った方がいいです。うっかりシュノーケリングに夢中になった我が家は背中が丸焼けになりました（笑）

現地集合な分、集合場所の地図がもっと親切にあれば大満足をつけたいところなくらい素敵な体験をしました。また行きたいです！！

Horseback is maybe the best way to experience the Waipeo Valley. Our guides and horses were very experienced. My only critique is that I wish we'd had more time to talk with the guides-- maybe even after we got back to the stables.

I participated with my sister. At first, there were no manta rays at all, and I was worried about what would happen if it ended like this, but in the last 30 minutes, a lot of them gathered, and we were able to see them quite up close!! When we entered the water, we were handed floats, but I didn't understand the English instructions well and only figured it out by watching the people around me. It might be a bit tough if you're participating alone and don't understand English. Even though it was a reasonably priced tour, I was glad to see the manta rays. It seems like they gather due to the lights from the boat, and the other boats were much brighter, attracting a lot more manta rays. I might want to try that one next time.

妹と二人で参加しました。最初、マンタは全く現れず、このまま終わったらどうしようと不安になりましたが、最後30分くらいでいっぱい集まってきて、かなり間近で見れました!!海に入る際にフロートを渡されたのですが、英語がよくわからず、回りの人をみてやっと理解。。一人参加で英語がわからないとちょっとツラいかもです。リーズナブルなツアーでも、マンタを見れたのでよかったですが、船の明かりでマンタを集める仕組みのようで、他の船の方がものすごく明るくてマンタもよく集まってるみたいでした。次回はそっち乗りたいかも。。

The number and variety of fish are lacking. 魚の数や種類はイマイチ

Reviewed by: ありのまま

The staff were kind and entertaining, which was great, but overall, the experience felt lacking. I participated in snorkeling for the first time in the Hawaiian islands, with many repeat visitors promoting it, so I had high expectations. However, there were few fish in terms of both quantity and variety, and I felt it wasn't worth the time and money spent. The waters in Okinawa and Asia are definitely much clearer and have more fish! Is this what Hawaii is like? I also had high hopes for the luxurious BBQ, but aside from snacks, the only real meal was a hamburger. The burger they grilled on-site was indeed delicious, but I felt that Americans have a rather limited diet during this trip. By the way, we were the only Japanese people there, and no one spoke Japanese at all.

スタッフの方々は親切で、なにかとおもしろく楽しませてくれてよかったのですが、全体的に内容がイマイチといった感じでした。ハワイの離島で初のシュノーケリング、リピーター多数というフレコミで、とても期待して参加したのですが、魚の数も種類も少なく、こんな時間とお金をかけてくるほどじゃないなと思ってしまいました。沖縄やアジアの海の方がだんぜんキレイで魚も多い！ハワイってこんなもんなの？という印象です。豪華ＢＢＱとあるのも期待したのですが、スナックを除けば食事らしい食事はハンバーガーだけ。その場で焼いてくれるバーガーは確かに美味しかったけど、アメリカ人って食生活が乏しいと感じる旅行でした。
ちなみに、日本人は私たちだけでした。日本語は全く通じません。

Miraculous summit! 奇跡の登頂！

Solo trip to the Big Island. 4 nights in Hilo, 4 nights in Kona. On the day before the last day of the trip, I joined a stargazing tour at Mauna Kea! There was a warning about a demonstration before departure, and I was informed that we might not be able to climb... but I believed in miracles and decided not to cancel. The demonstration was lifted five days after arriving on the Big Island, but there was an unusual snowfall the night before in July, and the gate was closed... However, the snow melted along the way, and we were able to reach the summit! The sunset from the top of Mauna Kea, with snow still remaining, was incredibly magical, and I didn't feel much cold due to the lack of wind, which was very moving. Our guide, Yo, was young but knowledgeable about many things, and he provided excellent service by sharing stories about the Big Island and Mauna Kea from start to finish, as well as taking lots of photos. During the stargazing guide, he talked about the stars using a laser pointer. I believe this is something you can only experience here. It was unfortunate that the Onizuka Visitor Center was closed, so I give it 4 stars, but when I come back to the Big Island, I would like to participate in a sunrise tour next time. Thank you!

They lent me cold weather gear like down jackets, overpants, hats, and gloves, which kept me very warm. I had a light down jacket myself, but it wasn't necessary. Since I was mostly in the car and didn't walk much, it was better to minimize my luggage. I was almost hands-free, and that was great.

This was my first time at Sunset. It seemed better than Sunrise. I was able to prepare various things while it was still bright, which gave me a sense of ease, and it wasn't too cold. I enjoyed the sunset slowly, both before and after the sun went down. Now, for the exciting starry sky. I signed up aiming for a new moon day, and even though it was just before the meteor shower, I was able to see shooting stars. The guides, Kouno and You, explained the stars very clearly. I can't remember difficult explanations anyway, but I did remember Sagittarius, Scorpius, Libra, Cygnus, and the Summer Triangle! Thank you! We will be back!

防寒具はダウン、オーバーズボン、帽子、手袋を貸してくれとても暖か。自分でライトダウンとか持ってたけど必要なかった。ほとんど車に乗ってて歩かないので、荷物は極力減らしたほうがいい。自分はほぼ手ぶらだったけど良かったよ。

サンセット初参加。サンライズよりよかったような。明るいうちにいろいろ支度し気持ちにゆとりがあり、あまり寒くもなく。日が落ちるまでももちろん、落ちてからも夕焼けをゆっくりと満喫しました。さあお楽しみの星空。新月の日を狙って申し込み、流星群の少し前だったけど流れ星も見えたし。ガイドのコウノさんとヨウさんの星の説明がとってもわかりやすかった。難しい説明はどうせ覚えられないけど、いて座とさそり座とてんびん座、白鳥座と夏の大三角形は覚えたよ！ありがとう！We will be come back !

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧　水～土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能＜フライト100分／英語パイロット／ワイコロアヘリポート＞

I couldn't fly, but... 飛べなかったけど

Reviewed by: りゅうのすけ

I couldn't fly on the reserved day due to the weather, so I rebooked for two days later, but again the weather was not good. It's sunny in Waikoloa, but the Hilo side was not. On both days, I had watched all the emergency evacuation and safety confirmation videos during the flight, but in the end, a staff member came out from the office and said, "I'm sorry."

Since it's nature, these things can happen. In the end, a Japanese pilot named TOSHI came out and said, "I'm really sorry this time. Please come again next time! We're waiting for you," and he handed me his business card with a refreshing greeting. I was very happy with this kind consideration. I hope to ride in TOSHI's helicopter next year for sure.

予約した日にお天気の関係で飛べず、再チャレンジで２日後に予約しましたが、またまたお天気がNGでダメでした。ワイコロアは晴天なんですけどね、ヒロ側がダメで。両日ともフライト中の緊急避難や安全確認のビデオも全部見終わっていたんですが、最後に事務所からスタッフの方が出てこられて「ごめんなさいね」と。
自然相手ですからこういうこともありますね。
最後に日本人パイロットのTOSHIさんが出てこられて「今回は本当に残念です。次の機会に是非来てくださいね！お待ちしています」と名刺を渡してくださって爽やかにご挨拶してくださいました。こういう心遣い、とても嬉しかったです。来年こそTOSHIさんのヘリに乗せていただきたいです。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー　滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く！＜午前・午後／英語ガイド／食事付＞by フェアウィンド号

You can enjoy the sea of Hawaii in a compact way! コンパクトにハワイの海を楽しめます！

Reviewed by: りゅうのすけ

From 8 AM to around 2 PM, you can leisurely enjoy the waters of Hawaii. I participated with my 7-year-old daughter (who had a rental life jacket and brought her own goggles), my mother (who had a rental float and a rental snorkeling set), and my father (who also had a rental snorkeling set). We were able to relax more than we expected.

The crew was cheerful, bright, and kind, and the onboard restroom was spacious and clean. For lunch, the crew cooked hamburgers and hot dogs on the boat (with smoke billowing), and we could choose our favorites to put in buns. Since we were on a boat, it was a bit bumpy, but the open atmosphere made it enjoyable.

The boat doesn’t sway much, and the sea breeze is truly refreshing. However, if you're concerned about sunburn or are traveling with children, it’s better to line up a bit early to secure indoor seating on the first floor. It can get hot, though. About 30% of the seats are indoors on the first floor, while 70% are on the second floor (the central part has a vinyl roof for shade, but the first floor is more reliable). The first floor also has all the windows open, allowing the breeze in and providing a nice view. I think it would be good for the kids and mothers to have long-sleeve rash guards and UV hats that can get wet (my daughter got a sunburn on her scalp after just two hours of snorkeling).

We didn’t have any issues with English, but the crew explains everything in English, so if you feel anxious about that, it’s good to prepare yourself a bit. However, I think you can understand what’s happening by observing those around you. There were only a few Japanese participants.

The snorkeling area was calm, with almost no waves and high visibility, allowing us to see many fish. However, there were also people from other tours, which felt a bit crowded compared to the Hawaiian vibe.

I highly recommend it.

朝の８時から２時ぐらいまで、ゆっくりハワイの海を楽しめます。
７歳の娘（貸し出し用ライフジャケット＋持参ゴーグル）と母（貸し出し用浮き輪＋貸し出し用シュノーケルセット）と父（貸し出し用シュノーケルセット）での参加でしたが、思った以上にリラックスして参加できました。
クルーも陽気で明るく親切、船内のトイレも大きくきれいです。ランチのハンバーガーとホットドックも船上でクルーが調理してくれ（煙モクモク出てました）好きなものをパンに挟んでいただく形式です。船の上なので多少ガサガサしますが、開放的な雰囲気で楽しいです。
船はそんなに揺れませんし海風は本当に気持ち良いですが、日焼けに気を付けたい方やお子さん連れの方は１階の屋内の席を確保する為、少し早目に乗船の列に並んだ方が良いです。これが暑いんですけど。座席は３割が１階屋内、７割が２階（中央部分はビニールの屋根がついているので日よけにはなりますが、１階の方が確実です）。１階も窓全開なので風が入って景色も見えて気持ちいいですよ。でもお子さんとお母さんは長袖ラッシュガード＆お子さんは濡れても良いUV帽子があるといいと思います（娘は２時間のシュノーケリングであっという間に頭皮日焼けです）。
私たちは英語の心配はなかったので問題はなかったのですが、クルーは英語ですべてを説明しますので、ここに不安を感じる方は少し心の準備を。ただ、周りの方の動きを見ていれば何が起こっているかはわかると思いますが。日本人は２，３組の参加でした。
シュノーケリングポイントのエリアは波もないと言っていいぐらい穏やかで透明度も高く沢山の魚を見ることが出来ます。ただ、このツアー以外のツアーの人々も勿論いらして、ちょっとハワイの感覚からすると人口密度が高く感じますけれども。
お勧めです。

ワイピオ渓谷　乗馬ツアー　絶景のなかを気軽に乗馬体験 ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞ by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

It was fun!! 楽しかった!!

Reviewed by: pocopipi

We participated as a group of five: three adults and two children (ages 10 and 13). There were also four American family members, making a total of nine people in the group. The young woman who checked us in at the meeting point drove a 4WD to the stable at the bottom of the valley, and she led us on horseback. A young man followed behind us. My horse was very well-behaved and hardly needed any reins, but my sister's and niece's horses tended to stray from the line to eat grass or started running a bit, which required some attention in the beginning. However, the young man behind us quickly helped, so there was no need to worry. For a full two hours, we were healed by the vibrant green of the valley and the sound of hooves, and everyone was very satisfied with the activity.

大人３人子ども２人（10歳、１３歳）の５人で参加。他に米国人家族４人と合計9人のグループでした。集合場所で受付してくれたお姉さんが4WDを運転して谷底の厩舎まで行き、そのお姉さんが馬の先頭でリードしてくれました。後方に若い男性がついてくれました。私の馬はとてもいい子で手綱さばきもほとんど必要なしでしたが、後方の妹や姪の馬は草を食べるのに列からはみ出たり、少し走りだしたりもして前半少し気を使ったようです。でも、後方の男性がすぐに助けてくれてたので心配ありません。たっぷり２時間、鮮やかな谷底の緑に癒され、パカパカと蹄の音にも癒され、全員大変満足なアクティビティーでした。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I stayed at the Sheraton Kona, and it was very close to the meeting point, just a 2-3 minute walk from the hotel entrance, which made me feel secure about participating.

Although the staff only spoke English, they were very kind, so I didn't feel particularly anxious about reconfirming over the phone on the day of the event. I was the only Japanese participant at that time, and most others seemed to be from the mainland United States. There were elderly individuals who needed canes to walk, as well as a few babies just a few months old, but everyone was enjoying themselves in their own way. They provide everything you need for snorkeling, such as fins, goggles, and flotation devices, so you can go hands-free without any issues.

The boat was larger than I expected, accommodating over 50 people. It had a diving platform and a slide, allowing for various ways to enjoy Kealakekua Bay.

Breakfast consisted of light items like muffins and fruit, while lunch was a style where you could assemble your own burger or hot dog with meat grilled on the boat. I had a burger, and it was delicious.

I debated between the afternoon course and the morning one, but the two-hour option flew by, so I recommend the longer morning course.

シェラトン・コナに滞在していましたが、集合場所までホテル玄関から徒歩2,3分ととても近く安心して参加できました。

英語のみですが、スタッフの方はとても親切なので電話のリコンファームも当日も特に不安を感じることはありません。このときの日本人参加者は私だけで、ほかはほとんどがアメリカ本土の方のようでした。歩くのに杖が必要な高齢の方もいらっしゃいましたし、生後数ヶ月の赤ちゃんもいましたが、みんな思い思いに楽しんでいました。フィンやゴーグル、浮き具などシュノーケリングに必要なものはすべて貸してくれますので手ぶらで問題ありません。

船は思ったより大きく、50人以上は乗っていました。飛び込み台や滑り台もついていて、ケアラケクア湾ではさまざまな遊び方をすることができます。

朝食はマフィンやフルーツなど軽いものですが、昼食は船の上で焼いてくれたお肉でバーガーかホットドッグを自分で盛り付けて食べるスタイルで、バーガーを食べましたがおいしかったです。

午後のコースと悩みましたが、2時間でもあっという間でしたので、午前の長いコースがおすすめです。

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ（キングカメハメハホテル内）＜ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題／シェルレイ付＞

If you want to enjoy the atmosphere, 雰囲気を楽しむのであれば

Reviewed by: 、＆％

If you're looking to enjoy the atmosphere, it might be fine, but the satisfaction level is low, so the cost performance isn't good. The talks between the shows were long, and if you don't understand English, you won't know what they're saying, so the show ended without understanding anything from start to finish.

The food portions were large, but there wasn't anything particularly delicious, and it rained during the event, so both the drinks and food got wet. They provided ponchos, but I didn't think it was a show worth seeing while wearing one.

On another day, I watched the show from the balcony of the Kinkame Hotel, and perhaps because the weather was nice, it seemed like they performed for a longer time than during our visit.

If someone asked me whether I would recommend it, I would not.

雰囲気を楽しむのであれば、よいのですが、満足度が低いのでコスパはよくないですね。ショーの合間のトークが長いので、英語がわからないと何を言っているのかわからず、最初から最後までわからないままショーが終わりました。
お料理も量は多目ですが、特別おいしいものがなく、途中雨がふりましたので、ドリンクもお料理も雨入りです。ポンチョが支給されましたが、ポンチョきてまで、見るショーとは思いませんでした。
別の日にキンカメホテルのバルコニーからショーを見てましたが、天気がよかったせいか、私たちの時よりも、長めにショーをしているように思われました。
人に勧めるかと聞かれたら、おすすめはしないです。

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

Rafting is the best! ラフティング最高！

Reviewed by: kaorin

I was moved by the experience of rafting and being able to see dolphins up close! It's a rare opportunity in Japan to see them that closely, so I think it was a very valuable experience.

Also, diving into the sea to see fish and coral was, of course, impressive, but the sandwiches, snacks, and fruits we ate on the boat tasted exceptionally good! The boat sped through the sea and made turns! It was thrilling, and I had a lot of fun throughout the experience.

The guide was very kind and made it easy for us Japanese participants to understand by adding gestures.

At first, I was scared because of the speed, but the guide was so entertaining that it turned out to be a great experience. On the way to snorkeling, I was moved by how many dolphins we encountered. I even got to see them jump up close. Snorkeling was great too, as I saw many coral reefs and schools of fish.

Lunch was fulfilling, and the guide cut fresh pineapple and oranges right in front of us. On the way back, we went near an area where we could see various layers of earth and received explanations. I am very satisfied with the experience, which is something I can't do much in Japan.

ラフティングを体験して、
イルカにあんなに近くで見れたことに感動しました！日本ではなかなかあんなに近くで見れないのですごく貴重な体験だと思います。
あと、海にもぐって魚や、サンゴを見れたことはもちろん感動しましたが、船の上で食べるサンドイッチやお菓子、フルーツは格別に美味しく感じました！
船がすごいスピードで海をかけぬけたり
船が回ったり！すごくスリリングで終始楽しく過ごせました。
ガイドさんもすごく親切な方で日本人の私達にも丁寧にジェスチャーも加えて分かり易いように教えてくれました！
みなほ
体験してみて、初めはスピードが早くて怖かったけどガイドさんがおもしろくてとてもいい経験になりました。シュノーケリングに行く途中には、イルカにたくさん会えたので感動しました。間近でジャンプをしたところも見えました。シュノーケリングもサンゴ礁や魚の群れがたくさん見れてよかったです。お昼ご飯も充実していて、ガイドさんが目の前でパイナップルやオレンジを切ってくれました。帰りには色々な地層の見える土地の近くに行き、説明してもらいました。日本ではあまりできない経験が出来てとても満足しています
