I participated on the first night after arriving on the Big Island. Even though the encounter rate is 99%, I was worried that I might not see any... but that was not the case!! A total of nearly six manta rays appeared, showing their bellies while feeding. They came so close that it felt like I could touch them, and it was an amazing sight. The guide was also very kind and attentive, and I had a truly wonderful time. Next time I come to the Big Island, I would like to participate in the manta ray experience again.
ハワイ島に到着した初日の夜に参加しました。
遭遇率99%といえど、もしかしたら会えないかも…と心配していましたか、なんのその!!
合計6羽近くのマンタが現れ、お腹を見せてご飯を食べてくれました。
触れてしまいそうな距離まで来てくれ、圧巻の光景でした。
ガイドのお姉さんも親切丁寧に対応してくれ、とても素晴らしい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
次回ハワイ島に来るときは、またマンタ大学に参加したいと思います。
Aloha, Miporin,
Thank you for participating in the manta tour. We are all thrilled that you were able to experience the excitement of seeing wild mantas up close enough to touch.
When you come to Oahu again, we also have tours such as the Dolphin Middle School and University, so we look forward to your next visit.

We only had one day on the big island and wanted to see as much as possible. This tour takes you all the way around with multiple, although brief stops and several locations. Could omit the coffee tasting and spend more time on the black beach or at the falls.
Our guide, Keith, was full of history, folk lore and traditional information which was a big bonus.
If you want history and a good whirlwind tour of the island, this tour is for you.
Of note, lunch was provided and this service has its own chef who prepares the meals. Very healthy sampling of the typical fare at area restaurants, however, when it’s served in lieu of a cold sandwich and a picturesque park, it suddenly becomes one of the best meals of the vacation.

Unfortunately, it was raining down below, and when we had an early dinner, we ate our bento in the drizzle, but the teriyaki chicken and the miso soup we were given were very delicious. When we reached the summit, the wind was very strong, and the warm clothing we borrowed was very helpful.
During the stargazing, what impressed me the most was seeing the Ocean Entry glowing red. The Southern Cross was also clearly visible. It's a shame that we couldn't see many stars due to the weather, but I was thrilled just to witness the beautiful sunset. Thank you very much. Later, when I took a helicopter tour over Kīlauea Volcano, seeing the incredible steam rising from Ocean Entry made me feel even more moved, realizing that I had seen this from Mauna Kea. I appreciate the guide from Okinawa. It was a lot of fun.
下界は生憎雨が降っていて、早めの夕食取るときは霧雨の中お弁当食べましたが、照り焼きチキンと入れていただいた味噌汁がとてもおいしかったです。山頂に登るととても風が強く、貸していただいた防寒着がとても役立ちました。
星空観察時に何と言ってもオーシャンエントリーが赤く見えたことが印象的でした。南十字星もはっきり見えました。天候のせいで星がたくさん見れなかったことが残念ですが、美しいサンセット見れただけで感激です。ありがとうございました。後日ヘリツアーでキラウエア火山の上空見たときにオーシャンエントリーの立ち上るものすごい水蒸気みて、マウナケア山からこれが見れたんだなーと感激ひとしおでした。沖縄出身のガイドさんお世話になりました。楽しかったです。
Dear Kaoringo,
Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea sunset and stargazing tour. Around June 2018, you were able to witness the eruption of Kilauea from Mauna Kea, which I believe provided you with a timely and precious view.

I have done dolphin snorkeling in places like Honolulu, Guam, and the Ogasawara Islands, but this was the first time I encountered so many dolphins. In the early morning, the water was very clear, and I could see dolphins from a distance, but after a while, the water became murky, making it a bit difficult to find them even when they said, "There are dolphins!" However, I got to see baby dolphins and a lot of dolphin jumps, which made me very satisfied. There was someone in the tour who was free diving, and I was really envious of them. When we were leaving, the captain sped off at an incredible speed, so be careful! (laughs)
ホノルルやグァム、小笠原などでイルカシュノーケルをしたことがありますが、
こんなにたくさんのイルカと会えたのは初めてです。
朝一番は海も透明度が高く遠くのイルカもたくさん見えましたが
少し時間がたつと海が濁ってきて「イルカいるよー」と言われても潜ってしまうとちょっと探しづらかったです。
でも赤ちゃんイルカも見れたし、イルカジャンプもたくさん見れて大満足でした。

Since it was a special trip to Hawaii, I thought I would ask for a proper welcome. I made the reservation secretly for my wife, so I was a bit worried, but as we passed through the immigration gate, we saw a typical Hawaiian lady standing there with a sign.
Since I had requested it in my wife's name in advance, she was surprised to see it. "My name is written on it!?" The surprise was a success.
It seems that this kind of service has become rare in recent years, as we were the only ones requesting it. They kindly took our commemorative photos, and we are grateful for the warm welcome.
Additionally, they drove us to the rental car waiting area since we were unfamiliar with the location. I tried to give a tip, but unfortunately, they wouldn’t accept it. (Both of us are very thankful.)
This service, which includes receiving fresh flowers, is not expensive at all. I absolutely recommend it for anyone considering a surprise. The satisfaction exceeds the price. I returned the lei to the ocean on our last day. (If you sprinkle some water on it, it lasts quite a while.)
せっかくのハワイ旅行なので、ちゃんと歓迎をしてもらおうと思いお願いしました。
妻には内緒で予約しておいたので、何かあったら心配でしたが、入管ゲートをうんざりしながら抜けて
前に進むといかにもなハワイアンマダムがプレートを持って立っていました。
あらかじめ妻の名前でお願いしていたので、気づいた妻はビックリ
「私の名前が書いてある!?」
サプライズ成功です。
近年では珍しくなってしまったようで、我々しかサービスを依頼していないようでしたが
記念写真も快く受けてくれ、歓待していただき感謝しています。
また、その後に場所に不慣れな我々のために、レンタカーの待合所まで送ってもらいました。
チップをお渡ししたのですが、残念ながら受け取ってくれませんでした。(夫婦共々感謝しています)
このサービス、生花を貰えることもあり、高いとは思いません。
サプライズをお考えの方には、絶対にオススメです。価格以上の満足です。
頂いたレイは最終日に海へお返ししました。(水をかけてあげれば結構長持ちします)

However, if you can have a normal conversation in English, it might actually be quite interesting. We encountered dolphins, or rather, there was a dolphin show happening around the boat in a certain area of the sea.

During my second visit to the Big Island, I participated in the manta night snorkeling that I had wanted to join for a long time. At first, I was a bit anxious because we couldn't see them, but towards the end, the mantas came multiple times, making it the best day ever! I was truly moved to see that they really exist! The ocean around the Big Island is wonderful! In June, the water wasn't too cold, but the return trip on the rubber boat was uncomfortable and made me feel sick. Also, I arrived by rental car, but I panicked because I couldn't find the landmark sign. Has the sign changed? Please check for the sake of future visitors.
二度目のハワイ島訪問で、前からずっと参加したかったマンタのナイトシュノーケリングに参加しました。
始めはなかなか見れなく少し焦りましたが、最後の方にはマンタが何度も来て最高の日になりました!
本当に実在しているんだぁと感動!!
ハワイ島の海は素晴らしいですね!
6月の海では寒さはあまり気になりませんでしたが、帰りのゴムボートが気持ち悪くてしんどかったです( ; ; )
あと、レンタカーで現地集合したのですが、目印の看板が見つからず焦りました。看板変わっていませんか。

The sunset near the summit of Mauna Kea and the stargazing a little lower down were incredibly beautiful and moving.
I heard that the stars are more visible when the moon is not out, but when we participated, the moon was present. However, we enjoyed observing the moon through a telescope, so it was still a great experience.
Additionally, our guide shared insights that only someone living on the Big Island would know, which was helpful for our trip. 😊
マウナケア頂上付近からの夕日と、そこから少し下った場所での星空観察はとても綺麗で感動しました。
星空は月が出ない方が空が暗くて星が綺麗に見えるとのことでしたが、私たちが参加した時は月が出てました。ただ、それはそれで月を望遠鏡で観察させてもらうなど楽しめました。
また、ガイドさんがハワイ島に暮らしているからこそわかるような情報を教えてくれたりして、それも旅行の役に立ちました(^^)

In the past, I watched a program where the hosts discovered and introduced the wonders of a certain world while answering quizzes. I saw footage of former synchronized swimmer Mikako Kotani swimming freely with dolphins, and I dreamed of swimming with dolphins like that. It was truly a happy time when that dream came true!
I was told not to touch them, but the dolphins came so close that it felt like they were about to bump into me. They swam alongside me, followed behind in a group, and suddenly one appeared right beneath me. I had so much fun playing with the dolphins! (*^^*)
The dolphins on the Big Island of Hawaii are said to be friendlier than those on other islands and will come close to you. So, if you're going to do a dolphin swim, I highly recommend the Big Island!
Also, I was lucky enough to see a manta ray! That seemed to be a stroke of luck. The tour guides were also dedicated to helping us find dolphins and ensuring we had a great time.
You can borrow a wetsuit, which is enough to keep you afloat, but if you're feeling anxious, you can also borrow a floating pole (a cylindrical float), so even if you're not a strong swimmer, you'll be fine. There was even a little boy, about three years old, who was entering the water with the guide's support. (Little ones must wear life jackets.)
When I posted about it on Facebook, someone immediately expressed interest in going, so I recommended this tour. When we come back to the Big Island, we will definitely participate in this tour again! Thank you so much! (*^^*)
昔、某世界のふしぎを発見・紹介しながら出演者がクイズに答える番組で、元シンクロ選手の小谷実可子さんがイルカと自由に泳いでる映像を観て、イルカと泳ぐことに憧れていました。
あんな風にイルカと泳げたらいいな、と思っていた状況が実現して、本当に幸せな時間でした!
触っちゃいけないと言われてましたが、イルカの方からぶつかりそうなくらい近くまで寄ってきて、横に並んで泳いだり、群れの後ろについて泳いだり、突然イルカが私の下から現れたりして、イルカに遊んでもらえて本当に楽しかったです(*^^*)
ハワイ島のイルカは他の島より人懐っこく、近くまで来てくれるそうです。なので、ドルフィンスイムをするなら、ハワイ島が一番オススメ!!
あと、ラッキーなことにマンタも観れました!それは運が良かったみたいです。
ツアーガイドの皆さんもイルカを探したり、先回りしたり、楽しめるように尽力してくださってました。
ウェットスーツを借りるので、それだけでも十分浮けますが、不安な人はフローティングポール(筒状の浮き具)を借りられるので泳ぎが得意でなくても大丈夫です。3歳くらいの男の子も、ガイドさんに支えてもらいながら海に入ってました。(ちっちゃい子はライフジャケット着用)
Facebookにあげたら、早速行きたい!という人がいたので、ここのツアーをオススメしました。
私達もまたハワイ島に来る時は、このツアーに参加します!
ありがとうございました!(*^^*)

I love the ocean, and I have had experiences swimming with turtles and dolphins while snorkeling in various places. Unfortunately, I can't dive because of my hearing issues. However, manta rays don't usually come close to the surface. I had given up on seeing them up close, but on this tour, they kept coming one after another! ♡
We surrounded the light with our snorkeling gear and observed them. It felt more like the manta rays were coming to eat the plankton gathered around the light rather than swimming alongside us. Still, they came so close that I had to dodge them! I could see right into their bellies.
There were probably 6 to 7 manta rays that kept circling around endlessly. I might have been lucky, but I really enjoyed it! You should definitely bring a GoPro. Also, I wasn't cold at all on the boat. However, since many Japanese people are sensitive to the cold, it might be a good idea to bring a towel or a sweatshirt just in case.
私は海が大好きで、いろいろなところでシュノーケリングをすることで亀やイルカと泳いだ経験はありました。耳が悪いので、ダイビングをすることができません。でも、マンタはなかなか水面までは来てくれません。なので、マンタをまじかで見ることは諦めていましたが、このツアーだと、次から次へと遊びに来てくれます♡
ライトの近くを囲んでシュノーケリルをつけて観察する感じで、一緒に泳ぐというよりは、マンタがライトに集まって来たプランクトンを食べに来てくれるという感じでした。それでも、マンタが自分でぶつかってくるほど近くに来てくれたので、こちらが避けないとならないほどでした。
マンタのお腹の中までよく見えます。
多分6-7枚のマンタがエンドレスで順繰り廻って来てくれる感じでした。運が良かったのかもしれないですが本当に楽しめました!
Go proは絶対持って行くべきです。
あと、船の上では私は全く寒くなかったです。
ただ、日本人は寒がりな人が多いので、タオルを呼びで1枚持って行く、もしくはトレーナーなどを持って行ってもいいのかもしれません。

I've been to various luaus, and this was the best. Really. My three-generation family ranges in age from 3 y/o to 70, and everyone had a great time. The 7 y/o was truly amazed by everything, which was delightful. The event was well organized, informative, and vastly entertaining. The food and beverages we're very good, high quality, and plentiful. No dishes ran out, and the selection was excellent. The arrival of the King and his court was fun. We enjoyed the extra touches, like the Hawaiians tattoos, and hula lesson. The dancers were excellent and engaging; we especially enjoyed those involving fire! I would definitely recommend this luau. I don't think there were any bad seats, and the view was glorious.

You can experience both summer and winter temperatures at the same time. At 2800m on Onizuka, from around 16:30 for about an hour, we will have a bento while acclimatizing to the altitude (you might not want to expect much in terms of taste... but if you don't eat, you'll be hungry on the way back. I managed to eat it). However, it gets suddenly cold as soon as you get out of the car. They will lend you down jackets, but you will need to put on your outerwear just before reaching the summit, so I recommend preparing some of your own gear. By the way, I wore a T-shirt, a hoodie, a certain company's ultra-light down jacket, a block tech parka, a knit cap, and gloves, and I was able to enjoy both the sunset and stargazing without freezing. We were blessed with clear weather and saw many shooting stars, which was great.
真夏の気温と真冬の気温を一度に体験出来ます。2800mのオニヅカで16:30過ぎから1時間程、高度順応兼ねてお弁当をいただきます(味は期待しない方が良いかも…でも食べておかないと帰りにお腹が空いてしまいます。頑張って食べました)が、車を降りたらいきなり寒いです。ダウン上下を貸していただけますが、上着着用は頂上に登る直前ですのである程度ご自身で用意して行く事をお勧めします。ちなみに自分はTシャツ、パーカー、某社ウルトラライトダウン、同ブロックテックパーカー、ニット帽、手袋を着用で最後まで凍えること事なく、サンセット、星空観測共に楽しめました。晴天に恵まれ、流れ星もたくさん見れて良かったです。

Overall, this was as a good luau experience. The show was excellent and the food was also excellent and plenty of variety. The setting is beautiful. The open bar was very good. There was not a lot of room, however, considering they were serving over 500 people (I overheard an organizer tell a waiter it was "515 people tonight"). The seating was a bit cramped. The ancillary activities (lei making for example) was fairly limited and not too well publicized. Those were the things that made our luau in Oahu truly special and yet we weren't able to take advantage of them since the supplies were limited.

Had a fantastic time. Kayak was good fun and not overly strenuous. Had a couple of stops along the way to catch our breath before we arrived at the monument. Snorkel was amazing with a huge variety of fish on display at close quarters. A pod of spinner dolphins arrived as we were leaving. Spent an hour snorkeling which gave us plenty of time to look around.
Then a paddle back again afterwards.
Our guide Patrick was very knowledgeable and safety conscious. He looked after us extremely well.
Very good value for the money.

On June 7th, I participated in the Mauna Kea summit tour with a friend. Our guide was Matsuzaki-san (I'll refer to him as Mats-chan). Mats-chan is funny. He was a big hit. (Well, I don’t know any other guides, but still!) He started with his self-introduction, and the entire tour was filled with puns and jokes. Since we were climbing to a high altitude in a short time, it seems that if you sleep, your body can't keep up... To keep the guests awake (or maybe he just can't help but talk when he thinks of something? (laugh)), he kept chatting and making us laugh. At the photo spots, he used his experience to take amazing pictures for us. You could really feel his enthusiasm to entertain the guests; he is truly a passionate and great guide. Did Mats-chan's spirit reach the heavens? The sky, which looked a bit suspicious, cleared up enough for us to see the sunset, and we were able to enjoy the starry sky as well.
Since Kilauea volcano was active, we even got to see the lava in the darkness of the night. I believe that the improvement in the weather was Mats-chan's psychic power (laugh).
I was a bit worried about altitude sickness, but I only experienced some tingling in my hands while descending. I'm really glad I participated. The summit is seriously cold, so I highly recommend this tour, which provides warm clothing for both the top and bottom (they say this is the only tour that offers bottom wear as well... am I promoting them? (laugh)). I'm not promoting them, though.
Oh, and I would have been happier if the bento was a little more delicious (bitter laugh). I had a great experience. Mahalo.
6月7日、友人と二人でマウナケア山頂ツアーに参加させて貰いました。
ガイドは松崎さん(以下、松ちゃんとさせて頂きます^^)。
松ちゃん、面白いです。大当たりでした。(いや、他のガイドさんを知ってるわけでもなんでも無いのですが^^;)ご自分の自己紹介から始まって、沿道周辺ガイドの全てが駄洒落とギャグのオンパレードでして( ´∀` )。標高の高いところまで短時間で登るため、眠ると体が追い付かないらしく…ゲストを眠らせない為(いや。単に思いついたら言わずにいられないのかも?(笑))にずぅっとしゃべり続け、笑わせてくれました。そして撮影スポットでは、これまでの経験を駆使して素晴らしい写真を撮ってくれるのです。私達ゲストを楽しませようという心意気がひしひしと伝わって来るような、ホントに熱い良いガイドさんです。そんな松ちゃんの心意気が天にも通じたのか?ちょっぴり怪しめの空だったのが、ちゃんと夕日を拝むことが出来、星空もきっちり見せて頂けました。
折しもキラウエア火山が活動中だったので、夜の暗闇で遠くその溶岩まで見る事まで出来てしまいました。きっとあの天気の回復は松ちゃんの念力だったのだと思います(笑)。
高山病とか少しビビッていたのですが、下って来る際の手先のしびれだけで済みました。参加してホントに良かったと思います。そして山頂はマジで寒いので、上下の防寒ウエアを貸し出して下さるこのツアー(ボトムまで貸し出してくれるのは、ここだけなんだそうです・・・って、回し者か?(笑))とてもお勧めです。回し者じゃないです^^。
あ、あとはお弁当がもう少しだけ美味しいと嬉しかったかな(苦笑)いい経験をさせて頂きました。Mahalo

When we reached the canyon I had been most looking forward to, I was moved by the guide's thoughtful gesture of lowering his voice to let us soak in the scenery quietly. Watching the pilot from behind the cockpit made me think how wonderful it is to be a pilot! It was a very rare experience to actually see the lava's gooey texture. I'm glad my mother, who was scared of helicopters, was able to ride comfortably. Above all, Toshi's love for the Big Island really came through. I want to work hard in Tokyo and return to the Big Island! Thank you very much for this experience.
一番見たかった渓谷に差し掛かった時に、ガイドの声を落として静かに景色に浸らせてくれる心配りに、景色と共に感動でした。操縦席を後ろから見ていてパイロットて素敵だなぁと思いましたw溶岩のドロドロさも目視出来てとても貴重な体験でした。ヘリコプターを怖がっていた母も安心して乗っていられたようで良かったです。何よりbig Island へのtoshiさんの愛がとてもよく伝わりました。又東京で頑張って働いてbig islandに帰りたいです!この度はありがとうございました。

Very organized and friendly staff. The restroom I used was very clean. The gears were clean. Excellent experience. If I have another chance to come back, I would definitely come back again!

Mahalo for a great review! We have recently been researching hands-free microphones. Yes, it would be very helpful.
