It can't be helped since we were dealing with wild animals like manta rays, but it was disappointing when time ran out after waiting on the boat in the cold. It seems that other boats didn't see them that day either. In a way, you could say it was a genuine tour rather than a staged one... The staff mentioned that I could participate for free next time, but there wasn't any detailed information, so I'm worried about whether they will really accommodate that for free.
野生の動物マンタ相手なので仕方がないですが、寒い中、ボートに揺られ待っていたので時間切れになった時は残念でした。この日は他の船でも見れなかったみたいです。ある意味、仕込みでは無いリアルなツアーとも言えますが。。。スタッフの方は次回無料で参加可能と言っていましたが、詳しい案内も無かったのでほんとうに無料で対応して頂けるのか不安です。

The sunset on the way to the manta point on the north side by boat was amazing, with a glimpse of the unique green flash that Hawaii is known for. However, to my surprise, I didn't get to see any mantas, and it started to rain coldly along the way, pouring down by the time we arrived at the port. I believe that Pele, the goddess of the Big Island, is calling me to come back, so I will return to the Big Island for a revenge trip!
港から船でマンタの北側のポイントに着くまでの、サンセットはハワイならではのグリーフラッシュも少し見えて最高な気分でしたが、まさかのマンタに会えず、途中から冷たい雨が降り始め、港に着く頃は土砂降りの雨でした。
ハワイ島の神様のペレがまた来なさいと呼んでくれていると信じ、リベンジしにまたハワイ島に行きます!
Aloha, SAM,
Thank you for participating in the manta tour. We are all very pleased that you were able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Big Island. It's unfortunate that you didn't get to see the manta rays, but next time, you can retry for free, so we hope you will join us again. Since we are dealing with wildlife, the tour experience varies each time. The Hawaiian goddess Pele will surely show you wonderful sights next time! We sincerely look forward to your next participation.

I went with my 10-year-old child, and we had a great time without any issues. There were two cheerful female guides who explained everything while we leisurely walked through the mountains for a full hour and a half. The dog at the reception leading the way was also very cute. It rained quite a bit along the way, but that felt nice in its own way. My experienced mother mentioned that she wanted to run at times, but she seemed very satisfied overall. Speaking a little English was not a problem at all.
10才の子供と、ちょっとのったことのある程度でしたが、全く問題ありませんでした。
女性のガイドさん二人で、陽気に説明をしてくれながらたっぷり一時間半のんびり山のなかを歩きます。受付にいたわんちゃんが先導しているのもとても可愛かったです。
途中結構な雨になりましたが、それはそれできもちが良かったです。
経験者の母は「走りたかった」とも思ったようですが、十分満足だったようです。
英語もちょっと話せる程度で全く問題ありませんでした。

The staff were very friendly, and I was able to have a great time. I got to see a beautiful sunset from the boat, and I was thrilled to see manta rays up close, almost as if I could touch them. They swirled around right in front of me multiple times, coming towards me with their mouths wide open, and I enjoyed watching their graceful swimming. It was a very satisfying experience and has become a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

Recently, the weather in Hawaii has been unusual, and it hasn't been good since February. Naturally, this time at Mauna Kea, we only made it to Onizuka. We missed the sunset and the Milky Way as well. Although I could have canceled the tour, I was told that I would receive a tour ticket valid for two years, so I participated. It will become invalid if I don't come to Hawaii within two years, so it gives me motivation. I will make a comeback within two years!
最近のハワイは異常気象で天気が2月から良くありません。当然今回のマウナケアもオニズカまででした。サンセットもダメ、天の川もだめでした。ツアーキャンセルもできましたが、2年間有効のツアー券がもらえるとの事で、参加しました。2年以内にハワイにこないと無効になりますので、励みになります。2年以内にリベンジします!

The kids had an amazing time today! Everyone was very satisfied. It was raining on the day of our reservation, but the hotel contacted us in the morning and changed our schedule. The new day had great weather, and as soon as we set off, we saw a lot of dolphins in the sea. We kayaked to a cave a little further away, and it was quite stable; the kids were happily paddling together with their dad. We really enjoyed both the cave and snorkeling. Fortunately, the kids were able to see sea turtles and rays, and they were truly delighted to receive explanations in Japanese. Thank you very much. We would love to participate again!

予約の日は雨でしたが朝ホテルに連絡をくださり、日程を変更。変更した日は天気が良く、出発してすぐの海には、イルカがたくさん。その後少し離れた洞窟までカヤックをこいで行きましたが、結構安定感があり、子供も父親と二人乗りで楽しくパドルを使っていました。洞窟もシュノーケルもとても楽しめました。ラッキーなことに、海ガメもエイも見ることができた子供は日本語で説明もしてもらえて本当に喜んでいました。ありがとうございました。またぜひ参加したいです。

The first thing the hotel staff said upon our arrival was, "It was snowing in the morning, and the summit was closed. It's open now, but we don't know when it might close again." We set off with a bit of a resigned attitude. Normally in April, there's an 80% chance of reaching the summit, but this year, there's an 80% chance of not being able to. They mentioned that for the past few days, no one had been able to reach the summit. When we arrived at the Onizuka Visitor Center, it was raining quite a bit, and we were fully in a resigned mode. After a while, the rain stopped, so we decided to eat our lunch outside. Then, gradually, it started to brighten up, and we were able to climb Mauna Kea! Although we couldn't see the bright red sunset like in the pictures, we were grateful to have made it to the summit.
For stargazing, they helped us find a good spot to see the stars. The explanations about the stars were easy to understand. We even saw shooting stars. What was unexpectedly delightful was that during the stargazing session, we were served cookies and tea, and the cookies were Mrs. Barry's cookies, which I had wanted to try! Thank you to our guides, Jin and Konno! It was a very satisfying tour.
The summit of Mauna Kea is cold. They lend you upper and lower wear, so I brought my own lightweight down jacket, high socks, and gloves that allow me to use my smartphone. They also lend gloves, but they are thick, making it inconvenient to operate the camera.
ホテルにお迎えの第一声が、「午前中は雪が降っていて、山頂はクローズしてました。今は、開いてますが、いつクローズになるかわかりません。」ちょっとあきらめ模様で出発。通常4月は、山頂に登れるのが80%だが、今年は山頂に登れないのが、80%とのこと。この何日間は、山頂まで登れていないとのこと。オニヅカビジターセンターに着いて、結構雨が降っていてもうあきらめモード全開。しばらくしたらやんだので、外でお弁当を食べることに。そしたら、だんだん明るくなってきて、マウナケア登れました!写真でみるような真っ赤な夕焼けはみれなかったけど、登れたことに感謝しよう。
星空観測は、見える所を探して見せてくれました。星の説明もわかりやすかったです。流れ星もみました。予想外にうれしかったのが、星空観測の際にクッキーと紅茶をいただいたのですが、そのクッキーが食べてみたかったミセスバリーズのクッキーでした!ガイドのジンさん、コンノさんお世話になりました!とても満足できるツアーでした。
マウナケアの山頂は、寒いです。上下のウェアを貸してくれるので、自分で薄手のダウンとハイソックスの靴下とスマホができる手袋を持っていきました。手袋も貸してもらえますが、分厚いのでカメラの操作をするには不自由です。

First of all, surfing was fun. However, there was a lack of confirmation. I interpreted "meeting at the location" to mean gathering at the office, as it mentioned to meet at the office. So, I was surprised when they said, "Okay, come here!" after finishing the payment and fitting the rental gear. I thought they would take us from the surf shop to the ocean. In the end, my mother came to pick me up with a rental car, but I accidentally got a parking ticket where I parked. There was a free parking lot right nearby, but I wasn't informed about that. It was disappointing, especially since I enjoyed surfing.
まずはサーフィンは楽しかったです。が、確認不足がありました。
現地集合の意味です。
まずオフィスに集合とありますので、オフィスが現地集合の場所と解釈しておりました。
なので、支払いが終わりレンタル品のサイズ合わせが終わり、じゃあここにきてね!と言われた時にはびっくりしました。
サーフショップから海へは連れて行ってもらえると思っていましたから。
結局、母にレンタカーで迎えにきてもらい送迎してもらいましたが、うっかり停めた場所で駐車違反をとられました。
すぐそばに無料の駐車場もあったのに、そういう事は教えてもらえなかったです。

We were picked up at the hotel on time and headed to the port.
On our boat, there were six Japanese people and four Westerners. I thought we would go quite far out, but we mostly traveled parallel to the land.
As the sun set, we entered the water. There was a rope attached to a long, buoy-like object to hold onto, and once everyone was holding on, they placed long poles made of a soft material similar to a kickboard under our thighs and ankles. This allowed us to keep our legs afloat even when we got tired.
For the first few minutes, we just floated quietly, but then they finally appeared! Everyone let out joyful screams while wearing their snorkeling gear. With their mouths wide open, they gulped down seawater and plankton, arching their backs and spinning around. We could clearly see the patterns on their bellies. Each pattern is unique, and they register each individual. They send videos or images somewhere, and if they find out it's an unregistered individual, they let you name it. I had been filming the whole time, so I want to send a clear shot of the pattern.
We were shown manta rays to our heart's content and then returned to the boat. We returned our snorkels and wetsuits and enjoyed warm cocoa and two types of snacks. From there, we sped back to the port. The strong wind was really cold against our wet bodies, so please make sure to bring a windproof jacket.
I'm really glad I participated. I highly recommend it!
定刻通りにホテルまでお迎えがあり、港へ。
私たちのボートには、日本人6人と欧米人?4人。結構沖に出るのかと思いきや、ほとんど陸と平行に走って行きました。
日がくれて、海中へ。細長い浮きのような物に掴まる為のロープが付いていて、皆が掴まったところで腿の下や足首の下にビート板の素材を柔らかくしたような長いポールを入れてもらいました。これで、疲れてきても脚を浮かせていられます。
最初の数分は静かに浮いてるだけでしたが、ついに現れてくれました!皆さん、シュノーケリングくわえながらの歓喜の悲鳴です。大きな口を開けて、海水とプランクトンを飲み込み、のけ反って一回転。お腹の模様もバッチリ見えました。お腹の模様は一枚一枚違っていて、個体登録しているそうで、映像や画像をどこだかに送って、まだ登録されてない個体だとわかると、名前を付けさせてくれるそうです。私もずっと動画を撮っていたので、はっきり模様がわかるものを送ってみたいと思います。
これでもか!というくらいのマンタを見せてもらって、ボートに戻りました。シュノーケルとウェットスーツを返して、温かいココアとスナック菓子二種類をいただきました。そこからは、全速力で港へ。濡れた身体に強風が凄く寒かったです。是非風を通さない上着を持って行ってください。
本当に参加して良かったです。お薦めです!

I participated alone, and when I looked around, I was the only Japanese person there. I boarded the boat thinking it was a sightseeing cruise, and the view from the ship, including Kailua and the mountain ridges in the background, was incredibly beautiful. The boat went all the way to the cape in search of dolphins in Kailua Bay, then made a U-turn while the captain diligently searched for dolphins. It was worth it, as suddenly 6 to 10 dolphins appeared and swam around the boat for a few minutes. I was very excited to see wild dolphins up close. It took about 30 minutes to reach the snorkeling point, where we had about 2 hours for snorkeling and lunch. After that, we cruised around Kailua Bay in search of dolphins. I can't speak English, but the crew was very kind and friendly, providing explanations in Japanese.

The trip starts early so you can be the first on the water and the first to snorkel before the crowds show up. The paddle over to the Cook Monument was easy. We stopped for a history and a geology lesson which were interesting. Once the Kayaks were landed we walked to the Monument where we donned our snorkel gear and jumped into the water. Everywhere on the Big Island is difficult to enter the water. This was just an easy jump.
The fish were a wide variety with lots of groups of yellow butterfly fish. They come here for the waters which are a mix of fresh from the lad and salt water. The blurry effect of the waters mixing is fun. This place lets the fish clean themselves of irritants. The coral was fine but some was quite damaged.
The park only allows a limited number of snorkelers at this location. They should dial the numbers back as it became crowded quickly when five boats showed up about fifteen minutes after our snorkel started.
The paddle back was easy and it was still morning.

Overall, very satisfied with the value of this trip. I have ziplined in Mexico and in Belize City, and this trip was very comparable in terms of value, excitement, and thrill.
The Hawaii zipline consisted of 7 lines, the first few were relatively short. Although short, breathtaking views. The last three were much longer, more scenic, and best of all, amazing view of a BEAUTIFUL waterfall! The day I went was very gloomy and did have some slight visibility issues due to fog, but the experience was amazing.
This was more expensive than my foreign ziplines, but as I mentioned, it was a great value for the experience relative to the other ziplines I have done.
Thinking back on what I could have paid for other Big Island adventures, no regrets on this trip and would ABSOLUTELY do this one again.
Lastly, the staff were great! Very expeditious, always safety first, and very friendly.

本場の料理とダンスで大変満足しました。海辺の会場で波の音を聞きながら、ショーを見られたのはとても素敵でした。

The weather that week was generally bad, and I heard that the view the day before we participated wasn't great either, which made me anxious. However, the guide's accurate predictions dispelled my worries. I was about to give up on stargazing after watching the sunset, but thanks to the guide's persistence, the sky gradually cleared up. At first, I couldn't see a single star, but before I knew it, there were so many that I couldn't count them all. It was truly an amazing tour filled with miracles!
その週は全体的に天候が悪く、私たちが参加した日の前日もあまり良い眺望ではなかったそうで、不安でしたが、ガイドのさんの読みの的確さに不安が払拭されました。夕日を見たあとの星空観測も諦めるところでしたが、ガイドさんがねばってくれたおかげで次第に空が晴れ、最初は一個も見えなかった星が気づいたら数えられないほど広がっていて、とても感動しました。本当に奇跡が連続した素敵なツアーでした!

I participated with a friend in November. It was both of our first time kayaking, but the guide taught us patiently, and we had a very enjoyable time. The guide was always attentive and provided appropriate support immediately, so we could relax and enjoy kayaking in the beautiful sea, which was the best! During the kayaking, the guide took photos with a camera they brought along and sent them to us later. We received many wonderful photos that became great memories. I hope to participate in this activity again on the Big Island someday!
11月に友達と2人で参加させていただきました。カヤックは2人とも初めてだったのですが、ガイドさんに丁寧に教えていただき、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。ガイドさんは常に気にかけてくれる&適切なサポートをすぐにしてくれるので、安心して綺麗な海と共にカヤックを楽しむことができ最高でした!!カヤック中、ガイドさんが持参されたカメラで写真も随時撮ってくれて後で送ってくれます。素敵な思い出となる写真を沢山いただきました。いつかハワイ島でまたこのアクティビティに参加したいと思っています!!
