Big Island
10/10 highly recommended doing this. Such an amazing experience.
The pickup was just on time! Ms. Tamae's explanations and guidance were clear and perfect. After watching the beautiful sunset from the boat, we entered the sea to start manta watching. We could see many mantas swimming, and when they began rolling right in front of us, it was incredibly moving. Even in July, it felt a bit cold underwater at night, so I think it's better to rent a wetsuit.
ピックアップもジャストタイム!
たまえさんの説明や誘導も分かりやすく完璧でした。
ボートから美しいサンセットを見たあと海に入りマンタウォッチング開始。
多数のマンタが泳ぐのが見え、その後目の前でローリングを始めると最高に感動しました。
7月でも夜は少し水中だと寒く感じたので、ウエットスーツは借りた方が良いと思います。
Aloha! K.K,

Loved everything about this group from the easy registration, the friendliness and professionalism of the crew and captain and you can't beat the location
Thanks for everything

Mahalo and A Hui Hou
Gentle giants for certain!! What amazing creatures to get to play around with in the water
Great crew, fun boat, and the sea caves were incredible to get to see!!!!
Was a good evening, was smaller than I imagined but none the less the crew puts in the work!
Got to celebrate our anniversary on the Kona waters, very beautiful sunset and very good grub!
Happy Anniversary! Mahalo for joining us and your kind words!
Great little ATV tour of a working fruit farm, the kids loved fishing in the ponds and the views of the coastline were gorgeous.
Guides were informative and made everyone comfortable.
Well worth the visit!
The crew was really nice, and we have such a great experience. I was scared at first, but swimming with the mantas was really cool. This is definitely a must do in your trip to Kona.
Great service and fantastic dancing! We loved the entire show and Dinner! Fire dance was great at the end!
I couldn't make it to the meeting place on time, but I felt a bit relieved that my husband and I were the only participants. The guide was someone I had met a few years ago, which was another relief. Getting in and out of the canoe was a bit challenging, but while paddling, I asked the guide various questions and he recommended a delicious hamburger place. It was great when we went there afterward! Thank you very much. As I get older, paddling the canoe is becoming more difficult. I would be happy if you could create some other tours as well.
待ち合わせ場所に時間にたどり着けなかったが、参加者が私たち夫婦のみで少し安心。ガイドさんも何年か前にお世話になった方でまた一安心。カヌーの乗り降りは少し大変でしたが、カヌーを漕ぎながらガイドさんにいろいろ尋ね、美味しいハンバーガー屋さんも教えていただきました。その後食べに行ったら美味しかったです!ありがとうございました。
年をとると段々カヌーを漕ぐのもしんどくなってきています。
他に何かツアーを作っていただけると嬉しいです。
This was the most perfect event. We has a great time celebrating our honeymoon.
I participated in this tour. With Tamae's guidance, I was able to experience the culture of Hawaii Island while traveling, watch dolphins at sea, and see sea turtles while snorkeling. It was a lot of fun.
当ツアーに参加させていただきました。Tamae様の案内もあり、ハワイ島の文化に触れながら移動し、洋上ではイルカウオッチングをして、シュノーケリングではウミガメをみることもきました。とても楽しかったです。
Aloha! Aki,
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University at the Kona campus. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed snorkeling in the magnificent scenery. Dolphin University also has locations on the Big Island and Oahu, so please join us again when you come back to Hawaii! We look forward to welcoming you back. A hui hou and big mahalo!
Aloha! Aki様
この度はイルカ大学コナキャンパスへご参加いただきありがとうございました。雄大な景色の中でのシュノーケルを楽しんでいただけたとのこと、嬉しく思います。ハワイ島、そしてオアフ島にもイルカ大学がありますので、またハワイにいらっしゃるときはぜひご参加くださいね!心よりお待ちしております。a hui hou and big mahalo!
Great experience - beautiful scenery and educational! Kaleo = Best Tour guide!
I felt there were many Polynesian dances. There were fewer hula performances, but the fire show was impressive. The food was very delicious. However, the location was hard to find. Even the staff at the Orchid didn't seem to know much about it. I think I should have asked the doorman at the front entrance from the beginning.
ポリネシアンダンスが多く感じました。フラは少なめですが、ファイヤーショーは見応えがありました。食事はとてもおいしかった。ただ、開催場所がわかりにくかった。オーキッドのスタッフに聞いてもあまり知らないようでした。正面玄関のドアマンに最初から聴けばよかったと思いました。
Waipio valley is magical. Our guide Keleo was so knowledgeable and you could feel his passion for his land. I lived in Maui. Visited 4 different islands. And I can say. This place you do not want to miss. I feel like I learned more on this tour than any tour I have ever done in all my travels. Even my 13 year old said it was amazing
My family, including two teenagers, agreed this was an amazing tour and a must experience. Our guide, Kaleo, a resident of the valley, was funny and knowledgeable about the history, legends, and way of life for the current residents of the Waipio Valley. We saw wild horses, birds, waterfalls, and stunning views. We also enjoyed our time at Waipio Valley Artworks while we waited for our check-in. Customer service was also great. We needed to change our time for our tour, and because there was room on the earlier shuttle, they were friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this tour on the Big Island.
Awesome experience. The catamaran was very roomy with plenty of space to spread out. The Captain and 2 crewmembers were awesome. Always had a drink in my hand, they also served us teryaki chicken and a salad. Check in process was a breeze. Definitely recommend this cruise.
The evening manta ray tour was amazing!! Crew was great, Trevor, Scott, Mitch were all top notch. Diego? Well, okay, he was great too! Ha! Seriously, fun crew, AMAZING manta rays, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thanks!
Great experience, fun crew! Everyone in our group loved it and if the opportunity ever presents itself we'd do it again!
We were the only Japanese couple, so we received dedicated care from a Japanese female guide, which allowed us to enjoy the experience without any worries. We were very satisfied with both the kayaking and snorkeling. She took many photos for us, and by the time we returned to the hotel, they had already been sent to us.
Before we left, she also provided information about a nearby Japanese-owned coffee plantation, making it a wonderful day. Thank you very much.
日本人は我々夫婦だけだったので、日本人女性ガイドさんに専属でケアして頂き、全く不安なく楽しめました。カヤックもシュノーケリングも大満足。写真もたくさん撮って頂き、ホテルに戻る頃にはもう送って下さってました。
帰り際に近くの日本人経営の珈琲園情報も教えて頂き、とても良い一日となりました。
有難うございました。
Caprain Lauren was great. Informative, helpful,and professional. We saw pilot whales, sea caves, a turtle, and of course...the snorkeling.
Both spots were great and we had PLENTY of swim time.
Thanks for a great trip!
I arrived on time, but there was not much guidance, and I didn't know what to do. I was flustered and confused about the drinks as well. It's understandable that Japanese isn't spoken, but the staff didn't have any smiles either. After it started to rain, there was no guidance, so I returned to my room.
I think the meal was Hawaiian cuisine, but the taste was just okay. I was a bit disappointed.
時間通りに行きましたが、案内があまりなくどうしていいかもわからず、ドリンクも何も分からずあたふたしました。日本語が通じないのは仕方ないけどスタッフも笑顔もないし。雨が降り始めてからの案内もなく部屋に戻りました。
食事もハワイ料理だと思いますが、味もいまいち。少しガッカリでした。
The staff were very friendly. The water clarity at the snorkeling spot wasn't as good as I had hoped, but I was able to encounter sea turtles and manta rays, which made it a lot of fun.
スタッフ皆様、大変親切でした。シュノーケリングスポットの海の透明度は期待したほどではなかったですが、ウミガメやマンタにも遭遇できて、大変楽しめました。
The sea, kayaking, and snorkeling were all amazing.
Thanks to the attentive Japanese guide, I was able to enjoy everything without any stress.
I definitely want to go again!
海もカヤックもシュノーケルもすべてが最高でした
日本人ガイドさんの細やかな対応あり、無理なく楽しむことができました
また是非いきたいです
It was a day without a Japanese guide, but I still had a great time.
I got to see manta rays up close, which was amazing.
The service at Dolphin University in Honolulu, where there was a Japanese guide, was much better, so compared to that, it was a bit disappointing.
日本人ガイドがいない日でしたが、楽しめました
マンタがすごく近くで見れて最高
ホノルルの日本人ガイドがいたイルカ大学の方がサービスはかなり良かったので、そこと比べてしますと少し残念
Aloha! Maki,
Thank you for participating in Manta University this time. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience of swimming with the manta rays. It's great to know that you have also participated in Dolphin University! Thank you for that. As you mentioned, tours on Oahu always come with a Japanese-speaking guide, but for tours on the Big Island, it may vary depending on the day and the specific tour. If you have another opportunity to join a tour on the Big Island, please be sure to request a Japanese-speaking guide. We will definitely arrange one for you upon request. We sincerely look forward to your next participation, Maki. A hui hou and Mahalo nui!
Aloha! Maki様
この度はマンタ大学へご参加いただきありがとうございました。
マンタと泳ぐ体験を楽しんでいただけたようで嬉しく思います。イルカ大学にもご参加いただいたことがあるのですね!ありがとうございます。おっしゃる通り、オアフ島のツアーでは必ず日本語ガイドがつきますが、ハワイ島のツアーは日によってツアーによってはつかない場合がございます。またの機会にハワイ島のツアーに参加される時はぜひ日本語ガイドをリクエストして下さいね。ハワイ島のツアーはリクエストを頂ければ必ず日本語ガイドを手配いたします。Makiさんのまたのご参加を心よりお待ちしております。A hui hou and Mahalo nui!
Knowledge guide. Showed us landmark’s and had great snorkeling.
Had a fantastic time on the tour. Great guides! ATV part had beautiful views, drove through mud stopped and saw the waterfall for pictures. Walked down to the falls to swim, jumped in the water from the small cliff, the water was a perfect. Had snacks at the falls.
We were a bit nervous about being in the water at night, but not to worry as the guides make the whole evening experience comfortable!
What a morning, sights I will remember in my head forever!
