This was one of the highlights when mt boyfriend and I visited Hawaii. The crew staff was amazing and very friendly. We ended up being the only two people on the sail boat so it was nice to have it all to ourselves. Would totally do it again!

I heard that you can see almost 100% of them, and I really did! However, dolphins are incredibly fast! Haha. It's obvious, but they are super quick, and I had a hard time taking pictures! So, I recommend using a GoPro or something to record videos and then cutting clips from those!

ほぼ100パーセント見れるとのことでしたが本当に見れました!ただイルカってすごく早い!笑。当たり前ですがめちゃくちゃ早くて写真とるの苦労しました!なのでgoproなどで動画とっといてその動画の切り出しの方がおすすめです!

It was a unique experience. Rich, our tour guide was very informative. We learned a lot about the history of the island of Hawaii as he drove us to different must see locations like the cave, water falls, historic sites. We also learned about plants, volcanoes, fissures, and stars in a day! We saw nebula, galaxies, a couple of satellites, shooting stars and learned about so many other stars in our constellation! It was very educational! Really appreciated it a lot!

Amazing experience - highly recommend!

Reviewed by: Mel Lee

What an awesome experience that was well worth every penny. Kaleo was a authentic, personable, and knowledgeable tour guide, who was born and raised in the valley. He shared not only the history of the sacred valley, but also stories of his childhood and information on the local wildlife. The tour met at the art gallery, where there are restrooms and parking (and yummy ice cream). From there everyone gets in a van as Kaleo drives the group down to the back of the valley, an area off limits to the general public. The views are incredible from the top to the bottom and back.

Don’t miss this tour of Waipio!

Reviewed by: Marcia from Alaska

I have brought my exchange students to the Big Island for 3 years and this was my first tour of Waipio. Kaleho our tour guy, being a life long local in the valley was filled with information about the history, biology and legends of this incredibly beautiful valley. So many stories and a safe comfortable tour. There is no glass in the windows in the 4 wheel drive passenger van so lots of airflow in the van. And he keeps a row empty between passengers. Everyone wears masks and sanitizes.
Also the store where you meet up has amazing art, books, music and incredible ice cream!

Even beginners can enjoy it. 初心者でも楽しめます

Reviewed by: aaz

We participated as a mother-daughter duo with no snorkeling experience. My mother is in her 60s. Initially, we joined with the mindset that just seeing dolphins from the boat would be enough, but once we set off, we were encouraged by our guide to go into the water. My mother, who can hardly swim, used a float, but the guide skillfully led us, and she was incredibly moved to see the dolphins from the best spot. I was impressed by the professionalism of the guide. Not only was the encounter rate with dolphins high, but the guide also kept track of the participants' names and how much they were enjoying themselves, even while wearing snorkeling gear. This was amidst many other tours. It was truly amazing. Although it was more active than other tours, the love for dolphins from our guide shone through. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves dolphins.

シュノーケリング経験のない母娘で参加しました。母は60代です。
当初は船の上からイルカを観れるだけでもという気持ちで参加しましたが、いざ出発するとガイドの方の勢いに後押しされ海の中へ。ろくに泳げない母は浮を借りながらですが、ガイドさんがしっかりと誘導してくれたので一番の特等席でイルカを観られたと大変感動していました。ガイドさんのプロの仕事はこういうものか。と感銘を受けました。イルカとの遭遇率のみならず、シュノーケリングを着けた上からでもツアー参加者の名前と楽しめているかをしっかりと把握してくれます。他ツアーが沢山入り混じる中でです。本当に凄い。他のツアーよりもアクティブでしたが、イルカを愛するガイドさんの愛が伝わってきました。イルカ好きには何度でもおすすめ出来ます。

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>

A manta ray came close. 近くまでマンタがやって来た

Reviewed by: まりん

I saw a manta tour on a TV program about the Big Island of Hawaii. After seeing those impressive scenes, I thought I would definitely join a manta tour when I visited the Big Island. This time, I was greeted by a Japanese woman who provided clear guidance. The manta tour instructor was a handsome half-Japanese guy who spoke a mix of Gifu and Nagoya dialects. (He mentioned that his mother is from Nagoya and he lived in Japan until elementary school.) We took quite a boat ride from the port to the manta point, but we were able to enjoy a beautiful sunset along the way. Once we arrived at the point, we quickly put on our masks and snorkels and jumped into the sea. Holding onto a square rubber boat about the size of two tatami mats, I peered into the water and saw small fish gathering around the light. After waiting for a while, a manta appeared at the seabed about 10 meters deep. The manta swam into the light, allowing us to see it well. After that, one or two more mantas passed by. One manta even swam close to our boat, and I was moved by its impressive presence. Even in Hawaii, March can be a bit chilly, so a wetsuit was necessary.

以前TV番組でハワイ島のマンタツアーを見ました。その迫力あるシーンを見てハワイ島に行ったら絶対マンタツアーに参加しようと思っていました。今回は」出迎えは日本人の女性で分かりやすく案内してくれました。マンターツアーのインストラクターは岐阜弁と名古屋弁が混ざったイントネーションの日本語を話すハーフのイケメンでした。(お母さんが名古屋出身で本人は小学校まで日本に住んでいたとのこと)港からマンタポイントまで結構船に乗りましたが途中きれいなサンセットを堪能することができました。ポイントに着くとマスクとシュノーケルを着けて直ぐに海に飛び込みました。2畳ほどの大きさのある正方形のゴムボートに掴り、海中を覗くとライトの光に小魚の群れが集まってきました。しばらく待っていると水深10メートルくらいの海底にマンタが1枚現れました。ライトの光が当たる場所にマンタが入りよく見ることが出来ました。その後も1枚2枚とマンタが通り過ぎて行きました。その中で私たちのボートの近くまでマンタが泳いで来て、その迫力に感動しました。ハワイと言えども3月は少し寒いので、ウエットスーツは必要でした。

My husband and I participated with our 5-year-old child. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes to reach the snorkeling spot, but the waves are quite high, so I think it's essential for those who are prone to motion sickness to take anti-nausea medication. On the way to our destination, we even saw whales, which got our child very excited.

At first, our 5-year-old was scared of snorkeling, but there was a bodyboard-like device with a transparent section, and they enjoyed peeking through it. The sea was also very beautiful, and our family was extremely satisfied. This is definitely a tour we would like to participate in again.

夫、5歳の子どもと参加しました。
30〜40分かけてシュノーケリングスポットに行きますが、波がかなり高く乗り物酔いしやすい方は酔い止め薬必須だと思います。

シュノーケリングは5歳の子どもは最初は怖がっていましたが、ボディーボードのようなものに乗って一部が透明になっているのでそこを覗きながら楽しんでいました。海もとても綺麗で家族で大変満足しています。

ハワイ島 サンセットセーリング カタマラン船「スピリット・オブ・アロハ号」<ワイコロア・アナエホオマルベイ発>

Sunset cruise from A-Bay in Waikoloa by catamaran. カタマランで行くワイコロア アナエホオマルベイ(A-bay)からのサンセットクルーズ

Reviewed by: Moco

In early March, we participated in a sunset cruise departing from the beach right in front of the Waikoloa Beach Marriott. We were the only Japanese guests, but the cruise included simple snacks and two drinks with alcohol.

The female captain announced that we might see dolphins and whales today, so everyone focused on searching for them while enjoying the scenery. Soon, one person spotted a sea turtle, and just as we were excited about that, the captain informed us that a pod of dolphins was nearby, prompting all the passengers to start watching. Then we spotted a whale! Everyone got really excited, sharing sightings of dolphins and whales, and the first half of the cruise was filled with excitement over dolphin and whale watching rather than just enjoying the views.

In the second half, we enjoyed the stunning Waikoloa sunset accompanied by slow Hawaiian music, making it a very satisfying sunset cruise.

3月初めに宿泊先のワイコロアビーチマリオットの目の前のビーチから出発のサンセットクルーズに参加しました。日本人は私たち夫婦だけでしたが簡単なおつまみとアルコールを含む2ドリンクつき。

女性キャプテンからのアナウンスで今日はイルカや鯨も見えるかもとのことで皆景色を楽しみながらもそれらを探すのに集中。
すぐに一人がウミガメを発見し、喜んでいると今度はキャプテンからイルカの群れがすぐ近くにの見えるとのお知らせに乗客皆でウォッチング^_^
そして今度は鯨を発見!
皆さん、ハイテンションになり、あちこちに見えるイルカや鯨を発見しては教え合い、前半は景色を楽しむよりイルカ&ホエルウォッチングで大盛り上がりでした。

後半はスローなハワイアンミュージックをバックに素晴らしいワイコロアのサンセットが見られ大満足のサンセットクルーズでした。

We met at the hotel parking lot entrance on the day of the tour, and from there, we walked about 50 meters to the starting point of the canoe tour for an explanation and stretching. We only took the minimum necessary items onto the canoe.

The waves were not completely calm, but they were manageable as we paddled along the left bank, passing by the hotel’s first-floor restaurant, heading towards the next cove's cave. At the cave entrance, the waves were crashing back, and we maneuvered the canoe along the right bank. About 100 meters from the shoreline, we entered the water for snorkeling. The visibility was decent despite the rain from the previous day, and we spotted some yellowish fish, sea urchins, and rays while swimming. Suddenly, we heard a commotion—“Dolphins! Dolphins!” There were dolphins all around us, and a baby dolphin was spinning and jumping. It was so much fun!

当日ホテル駐車場入口で待ち合わせ、そこから50m位でカヌーツアースタート場所で説明、ストレッチ、最低必要な物だけでカヌーに乗ります。
波は凪とはいかずまあまああり左岸沿いに進みホテル1階レストランを見ながら、次の入り江の洞窟に向かいます。洞窟入口は打ち寄せる波は吹き戻る、右岸沿いにカヌーを進め波打ち際より100m位でカヌーからシュノーケリングエントリー前日は雨もあり透明はまあまあ黄色いはぎ、ウニ、エイを追って泳ぐとカヌーがあり、なんか騒いでる''イルカ、イルカ''周りにイルカ、イルカの赤ちゃんがスピンジャンプ。楽しかったです!

Honestly, I only saw the manta rays twice, and both times they were far away for just a moment. There were no close encounters where they were feeding right in front of me, as described in the tour details. It seems that the weather on the day can also affect this, and since manta rays are natural creatures, it's not guaranteed that you'll see them every time.

Since I didn't see them, I was really grateful for the policy that allows a free retry next time.

Although I didn't see the manta rays, I was lucky enough to spot dolphins from the boat. They jumped and swam close to us, which was really fortunate. I definitely want to try for the manta rays again next time.

正直、マンタは2回しか見れませんでした。しかも遠くで一瞬。ツアー詳細に書いてあるような、目の前で餌を食べる瞬間や、触れそうなくらいの
接近はありませんでした。当日の天候等も影響するみたいで、マンタも自然のものなのでなかなか毎回見れるとは限らない・・という事ですね。

I was wondering what would happen. どうなることかと思いましたが

Reviewed by: Haru

We participated as a couple. My husband is a good swimmer and has experience with kayaking, but I can't swim and was a beginner with kayaking, so I was very scared at first. However, the guide kindly taught us in Japanese, which made me feel at ease. When I paddled on the left side, my body tilted to the left, and I capsized three times. For some reason, I ended up falling into the sea alone, which was actually quite funny. For snorkeling, they lent us a boogie board, so it was easy and enjoyable. There were plenty of fish, and even though I can't swim, I had a great time. My husband has poor eyesight, so he bought prescription swimming goggles in Japan and borrowed a snorkel from the guide to enjoy himself. There are no shower facilities. We changed at the restroom on the first floor of the Sheraton before heading home. The meeting point is a bit hard to find. While there were some inconveniences, the positives far outweighed them, and we were very satisfied.

夫婦で参加しました。主人は泳ぎも得意ですし、カヤックもやったことがありましたが、私は泳げませんし、カヤック初心者で最初はとても怖かったです。でも、ガイドさんが日本語で丁寧に教えてくださったので安心しました。カヤックは私が左側を漕ぐときに体が左側に傾くようで3回も転覆してしまいました。なぜか私1人が海に落ちてしまったこともありそれが、それがまた面白かったです。シュノーケリングはビートバンを貸してくださったので楽々でした。お魚もたくさんいて泳げない私でも十分楽しめました。主人は視力が弱いので、日本で度付の水泳用ゴーグルを購入していき、現地でガイドさんからスノーケルを借りて楽しんでいました。シャワーを浴びるところはありません。シェラトン1階のお手洗いをお借りして着替えて帰りました。待ち合わせ場所はわかりにくいです。不便なこともありますが、良かったことの方が大きくて大満足でした。

I got to see a manta ray! マンタに会えました‼️

Reviewed by: イクミ

I was able to see manta rays safely!
Two large manta rays came right under the light, and I was so excited!
Their swirling movements were very beautiful.
I was surprised when the underside of the manta touched my hand; it felt rough.

Thank you, guide Masami.
I’m very satisfied to have seen the manta rays. It became a great memory!

(I took motion sickness medication, so I was fine on the boat.
The return boat can get chilly, so having a thicker bath towel is reassuring.)

無事にマンタに会えました!
2枚の大きなマンタが光りの真下に来てくれて、
ドキドキ大興奮‼️
クルクルと泳ぐ姿が、とてもキレイでした。
マンタのお腹部分が、私の手に触れてビックリしました。ザラっとしてました。

ガイドのマサミさん、ありがとうございました。
マンタに会えて大満足です。良い思い出になりました!

(酔い止めを飲んだので船酔大丈夫でした。
帰りのボートは冷えるので、厚めのバスタオルが
あると安心です)

I encountered a mother and baby whale! 親子のくじらに遭遇しました!

The ship was larger than I expected. There was someone explaining over the speaker, but it was all in English, so I didn't understand it very well. There were hardly any Japanese guests. I was worried about seasickness, so I took some medication before heading out, but I didn't feel much rocking at all. I was able to see whales about four times, but of course, since we couldn't get too close, just watching from a distance lacked a bit of impact. However, being able to see them with the naked eye is only possible during this season, so I was really moved just to have had the chance to see them!

思っていた以上に大きい船でした。スピーカーで説明してくれている方がいたのですが、全て英語であまりよく分かりませんでした。日本人のお客さんもほとんどいませんでした。船酔いが不安だったので酔い止めを飲んで出掛けましたが、あまり揺れも感じずにすみました。4回ほどくじらを見ることができましたが、当然のことながら、あまり近くに寄ることもできないため、遠目に見るだけでは、やはり迫力には欠けます。しかし、肉眼で見られるのは、この時期だけですので、見ることができただけで感動でした!

The cruise, the manta rays, and the sunset were all amazing! クルーズもマンタもサンセットも最高でした!

We participated as a family of three. I was worried about getting seasick, but I took some motion sickness medication before heading out. The captain and the crew were so cheerful, it really felt like a party on the boat! The pleasant breeze and splashes of waves lifted my spirits, and before I knew it, I had forgotten all about my seasickness. The sunset was also incredibly beautiful! We saw manta rays swim by about five times, and they even showed us their turns, which was truly moving! I absolutely recommend this tour! On the way back, the wind can be chilly on your wet body, so it's a good idea to bring something to wear.

家族3人で参加しました。船酔いが不安でしたが、酔い止めを飲んで出かけたのですが、キャプテン、クルーの皆さんがとても陽気で、まさに船上のパーティといった感じ!テンションが上がる程の心地良い風と波しぶきがとっておきの気分にさせてくれて、いつの間にか船酔いも忘れていました。サンセットもまた最高に綺麗でした!マンタも5回程目の前を通ってくれて、ターンまで見せてくれて最高に感動しました‼︎このツアーは絶対におすすめです!帰りは濡れた身体に風が冷たいので、羽織る物を持って行った方がいいですよ。

I want to try again! 再チャレンジしたい!

Reviewed by: まいまい

I was able to see a little bit of a mother and baby whale in the waters of Hawaii. It's a shame I couldn't see them clearly, but I guess that's just how it is with wild animals. Just being on the yacht and out on the ocean was fun. I want to try again during this season!

ハワイの海原にすこーし鯨の親子を見ることができました。はっきり見れなかったのは残念だけど、自然の生き物相手なのでしょうがないですね。
ただヨットに乗って海の上にいるだけで楽しかったです。またこのシーズンに再チャレンジしたいです!
