Deluxe Captain Cook Snorkeling Tour at Kealakekua Bay - Fair Wind Cruises

Excellent Family Snorkel Tour

Reviewed by: Kathleen B

We went on the afternoon tour with 8 in our family ranging in age from 4 to 65. Most had no snorkeling experience. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The crew were so friendly and helpful! We were impressed with their safety precautions, including all of the crew being certified lifeguards and were watching out for everyone the entire time we were in the water. The water was pristine and we saw so many varieties of fish and even saw an eel. The coral was beautiful, too.

The captain exchanged information with other captains and took a detour to an area where we might see dolphins. Sure enough, dolphins came to play around the boat, and we saw them jump twice. Communication is important in everything, isn't it? We also had a great time snorkeling and got to see plenty of yellow fish.

If you don't see a manta, you can participate for free next time. It was good. マンタに会えなかったら、次回無料で参加できます。できましたgood。

Reviewed by: ジミー

There was a Japanese guide. A Japanese woman kindly assisted me over the phone. Unfortunately, if you can't see a manta, you can participate for free next time. In fact, I was able to try again for free.

On June 10th at 18:00, we saw the best sunset, but we only caught a glimpse of one manta passing by in the distance. My husband didn't see any at all.

On June 13th at 21:00, I was allowed to try again for free, and I had the best encounter with 4 to 5 mantas that spun around right in front of me multiple times. It truly felt like a manta experience. Since it’s nature... the impact and emotion were different from just seeing mantas pass by in Ishigaki Island.

Even though I don't understand English, I could feel the excitement of the crew. Since it was dark in the sea, I felt reassured participating just by understanding Japanese.

日本人のガイドさんがいます。電話も日本人の女性が親切に対応してくれました。
残念ながらマンタに会えない時は、次回の参加は無料にして頂けます。実際、無料で再度チャレンジできました。
6/10　18:00からは最高の夕日は見れましたが、遠くに通り過ぎた1枚しか見れませんでした。主人は、全く見れてません。
6/13　21:00に無料で再チャレンジさせてもらい、4～5枚のマンタが目の前で何度もクルクル回転してくれる最高の出会いを見れました。これぞマンタという感じでした。自然相手なので。。。。。石垣島での通り過ぎるマンタを見るのとは、迫力、感動が違いました。
英語が解らない私でも、乗組員のスタッフの興奮が伝わりました。
暗い海なので、日本語がわかるだけで安心して参加できました。

We had a wonderful time on the sunset cruise. We had a one year old and three year old with us, and the whole family had a great time. The crew was amazing, the boat was clean, and the drinks were strong. My husband usually gets sea sick, but this was the first time he was completely fine. The boat is big and stable. The crew had several drink choices, snacks, and even brought out teriyaki rice bowls for everyone. They let my three year drive the boat, which made his whole trip. We’re definitely going again on this next time we’re on the Big Island.

マンタ大学夜学部　野生のマンタ＆ナイトシュノーケリングツアー ＜送迎可／日本語スタッフ乗船日あり＞

You should definitely try it at least once. 一度やるべき

Reviewed by: きゃきゃきゃ

It was May 2nd, so the night sea was still cold. But the manta rays were so beautiful that I forgot about the cold! I saw just one, but it kept spinning right in front of me, so I could see its mouth wide open and observe its skin closely; it was almost within reach if I stretched out my hand. (If you touch them, you will be forced to return to the boat. I thought it was wonderful that there is a strong attitude of respecting them.) The mystical time continued, and I was so absorbed that I forgot about the cold.

It seems that the manta rays get startled and swim away if they see human feet in the water, so you need to keep your feet on the float while lying face down and kicking to stay afloat. It can be quite challenging until you get used to it, but the large "ロ" shaped float allows small children to sit on it and look through the opening. Since it’s not cold, and you don’t need to float, and the manta rays don’t swim away, I thought it was a good method (as children tend to splash their feet in the water). The Japanese guide was kind and attentive, moving around to help us, and he gave us all the photos he took for free. I even saw a seal in the pictures! (It seems there was actually a seal very close by. Guests are not allowed to let go of the float, so he went instead to take photos.)

5/2でしたのでまだ夜の海は寒かったです。でもそんなことを忘れるくらいマンタが美しかった！見られたのは1枚ですが、ずーーーっと目の前でクルクル回転してくれていたので、口の中も丸見え、肌感もしっかり観察でき、手を伸ばしたら触れるほどです。（もし触ったら強制的に船に戻されます。彼らを尊重する強い姿勢が素敵だと思いました）神秘的な時間が続き、寒いのも忘れて夢中で見入ってました。
人間の足が水中にあると驚いて逃げてしまうようで、フロートの上に足を乗せながら、うつ伏せに蹴伸びをした姿勢で浮き続ける必要があります。慣れるまで結構大変ですが、手でつかまってるロの字フロートは大きく、小さなお子さんはその上に乗っかって、ロの字の中から見てました。寒くなくて、浮く必要もなく、マンタも逃げないので、良い方法だと思いました（どうしてもお子さんは水中で足をバタバタさせてしまうので）。ガイドの日本人の方は親切で色々と気づいて動いて下さり、また撮った写真は無料で全部下さいます。見たらアザラシまで映ってました！（すぐ近くに実はアザラシが居たみたいです。ゲストはフロートから手を離してはいけないので見に行けませんが、代わりに行って写真を撮ってくださってました）

Beyond the Waipi'o Valley lookout, entry is restricted to tour participants only. As you descend the narrow, steep slope, you can overlook the Hi'ilawe Falls and taro fields, and wild horses even approached our vehicle. There are many rivers flowing, but there are no bridges, so crossing in a windowless four-wheel drive vehicle is exciting and fun. You can only get out of the car at one location.

ワイピオ渓谷観光ツアー　窓ガラス無しの四輪駆動車で遮るもののない壮大な景色を堪能！約366メートル滝やタロイモ水田など写真スポット多数＜1.5時間／英語ガイド＞

I enjoyed the mystical nature of Waipi'o Valley. ワイピオ渓谷の神秘的な自然を満喫しました

Reviewed by: sayo

We participated as a family of three during Golden Week. We had given up on going down to Waipi'o Valley after learning that the road was closed for construction, but this tour allowed us to access the closed road (apparently due to a close relationship with local residents), and we descended into the valley in a 4WD vehicle.

Along the way, we saw waterfalls, crossed rivers, passed through fields, and encountered horses and geese, immersing ourselves in a stunning natural environment that made us forget we were in Hawaii. The scenery was very mystical and refreshing for the soul.

The guide was a very cheerful person, and unfortunately, I struggled with English and understood more than half of what was said, but they still explained things using gestures, picked flowers for us, and caught shrimp in the river, making it a fun experience. It seems they are involved in activities aimed at improving the lives of local residents.

Thanks to this tour, we were able to discover a world that cannot be seen just from the viewpoint of Waipi'o Valley. I'm glad I participated.

GWに家族3人で参加しました。
ワイピオ渓谷の道路が工事で閉鎖されたということが分かり下まで行くのを諦めていましたが、このツアーでは通行止めの道路を通れるようで(現地の住民と関係が深いらしく)、四駆に乗って渓谷を降りていきました。
途中滝を見たり川を渡ったり、畑を通ったり馬やガチョウがいたりと、ハワイにいることを忘れてしまうような山奥みたいな大自然に触れられました。
とても神秘的で心が洗われるような風景でした。
ガイドの方はとても陽気な人で、残念ながら英語の苦手な私は半分以上分かりませんでしたが、それでも身振り手振りを使って説明してくれて、花を摘んでくれたり川に入ってエビを捕まえてくれたりと、楽しませてくれました。どうやら現地の方の生活向上のために活動されている方のようです。
このツアーのおかげでワイピオ渓谷を展望台から見るだけでは分からない世界を知ることができました。
参加して良かったです。

I was able to see a manta ray just at the last moment. Since I easily get seasick, I took some medicine before joining, and I was fine, but others were unfortunately getting sick. Also, it was colder than I expected. It's essential to have measures for warmth after coming out of the sea.

This was such a great adventure! The crew was super nice, friendly, knowledgeable and gave us all the important information ahead of time. I am glad we rented wetsuits (the long sleeve, short legs version - $10), because the amount of time we stay in the water and specially at sunset, made it for a very cold attraction.
Nonetheless, we saw at least 4 manta rays, they were swimming around and under us for the entire time and it was such an incredible experience!!!
When we got back to the boat, we were treated to some really yummy hot chocolate.
Tamae, one of our guides, also had some pictures and videos that she shared with us!!
