Amazing time

The Catamaran ride was very smooth and comfortable. The crew was wonderful and very informative. Once in the water we had seen a large variety of fish and rays. I would highly recommend this adventure.

キャプテン・クック号 サンセット・ディナークルーズ <夕食・カクテル1杯付き/カイルアピア発>

Super lucky! 超ラッキー!

Reviewed by: まりん

The boat sways quite a bit, so at first, it's hard to walk, but during meal times, we anchor offshore, so you can relax. Moreover, at that time, a manta ray and many dolphins gathered around. I think they must have liked the singing. I can't remember the name, but there was a singer with the most beautiful voice singing live the whole time, and songs that felt very Hawaiian, which was truly soothing.
There was also a vegan menu, and the buffet was satisfying.

Most of the participants were from the mainland United States, and they were drinking and making a lot of noise, so even when I was trying to talk about history and the land, I couldn't hear it next to me. But overall, it was the best cruising experience. If you can't speak English, it might feel long and confusing as you won't know what's happening.

It was a bit disappointing that the sunset was partially hidden by clouds, but it was still a beautiful view. People who participated in the previous trip said they didn't encounter anything, so we were really lucky on our trip.

船はかなり揺れるので、最初は歩くのもやっとだけど、食事のときは沖で停泊するので落ち着いていただけます。しかも、この時、マンタが1匹と、イルカもたくさん集まってきました。きっと、歌声が好きだったんじゃないかと思いますお名前は覚えていないけど、最高に美しい声の歌手がずっと生歌を歌っていて、ハワイっぽい曲とか、本当に癒されました。
Veganメニューもあって、ビュッフェも満足でした。

参加者がほぼアメリカ本土から来た人たちばかりで、お酒飲んで大騒ぎするので、せっかく歴史や土地の話をしているのが隣に行っても聞こえないくらいだったけど、とにかく最高のcruisingでした。英語ができないと、何が起こってるか分らなく長く感じるかもしれないけど。

あとは、夕日が少し雲に隠れてしまったのが残念だけど、それでも美しい景色でした。前の便に参加した人たちは、何も出会えなかったそうで、私たちの便は本当に幸運に恵まれました。

ケアウホウ湾シーカヤック&シュノーケルツアー 海中洞窟探検プランあり <早朝・午前/日本語ガイド>by キング・カヤック・ハワイ

It felt great! 気持ち良かった!

Reviewed by: よしさん

On the day of the activity, the weather was nice, and we started a little earlier than planned at 7 AM. It was my first experience kayaking, but the guide was kind and taught us carefully, so I was able to paddle without any issues. The sunrise was beautiful, and it felt great. We also went to a cave, which was thrilling and a lot of fun. I would love to try it again if I have the chance.

当日、天候も良く、予定より少し早い7時からスタートしました。カヤックは初めての経験でしたが、ガイドさんに優しく丁寧に教えていただき、問題なく漕げました。朝日が綺麗で、気持ち良かった。洞窟にも行けました。そこはスリル満点で楽しかったです。また機会があれば乗ってみたいです。

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>

I enjoyed it twice! 二度楽しめました!

Reviewed by: 新袖ぱぱ

After the New Year, my wife and I participated in a tour to see manta rays on the Big Island. We set sail from the harbor in Kona in the evening and watched the sunset over the ocean near the airport before entering the water for snorkeling. The light illuminated the dark underwater world, creating a very magical atmosphere as we eagerly waited for the manta rays, but unfortunately, none appeared. Even though we were wearing wetsuits, it was cold at night when we got out, and our fleece jackets were very helpful.

We were informed that if we didn't see any manta rays, we could try again for free, so we later joined a dolphin watching tour on Oahu, where we were able to see dolphins while snorkeling and swim with sea turtles, which was great. Additionally, we were surprised to see two humpback whales breaching multiple times! Next time, I definitely want to see manta rays.

正月明けに、ハワイ島でマンタを見たくて家内と参加しました。
夕方コナのハーバーを出航し、空港の沖で海に沈む夕日を見てからシュノーケリングで海に入りました。暗い水中をライトが照らしてとても幻想的で、ワクワクしながらマンタを待ったのですが、結局一匹も現れませんでした。ウエットスーツを着ていても、上がると夜は寒くてフリースの防寒着が役に立ちました。
一匹も見れなかった時は無料で再チャレンジできるとの事で、私達は後日オアフ島のイルカを見るツアーに参加し、シュノーケリングで!イルカを見たり海亀と泳いだりできたので良かったです。さらにザトウクジラ2匹のブリーチングを何度も見れてビックリ!
次回は是非マンタを見たいですね。

I learned how to surf in English and was able to catch waves right away, which was fun. They also took photos of me.
I recommend wearing a long-sleeve rash guard. I wore a short-sleeve one and ended up getting sunburned.

I signed a waiver at the office and learned about paddling and how to stand up.

Since we were supposed to travel to the lesson location individually, I was thinking of calling a taxi, but a family from LA who was participating in the lesson with me offered me a ride. They seemed to like Japan, and the dad was wearing a T-shirt with Japanese writing on it. I was lucky!

サーフィンを英語で教えてもらいながらしました。すぐ波に乗れて楽しかったです。写真も撮ってくれました。
ラッシュガードは長袖をおすすめします。私は半袖だったので、日焼けしてしまいました。

オフィスで誓約書にサインしたり、パドリングや立ち方を教わりました。

レッスン場所までの移動は各々でということだったので、TAXiを呼ぼうと思ったら、一緒にレッスンに参加していたLAのアメリカ人の御家族が乗せてくれました。日本のことが好きみたいで、パパさんは日本語が書かれていたTシャツを来てました。運が良かった!

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ <12~3月/午前/軽食付き/ワイコロアまたはカワイハエ港発>

A unique experience for this season! この時期ならではの体験!

Reviewed by: まっきー@

It seems that the weather is usually calm, but there happened to be strong winds, and the boat was rocking quite a bit, which made me feel seasick (I'm prone to motion sickness, and I had taken medication for it...). Everyone else seemed to be fine, though.

The sea breeze was very refreshing, and once we got further out, we could see the beautiful view of Mauna Kea. At first, we could only see it from a distance, but just before we returned, a whale came close to us, and it was an emotional moment. A foreign staff member was sending some kind of signal underwater to attract the whales. It was a precious experience!

普段は穏やからしいですが、たまたま風が強く、結構船が揺れて酔ってしまいました(私は酔いやすい方で酔い止めは飲んでいたのですが…)。他は皆さん大丈夫そうでした。
とても気持ちいい海風で、沖へ出ると、マウナケアの山の景色がきれいに見れました。
初めは少し遠目にしか見れませんでしたが、帰り間際に至近距離でクジラが来てくれて、感動しました。外国人スタッフの方が、クジラを呼び寄せる信号?みたいなのを海中で送ってくれてました。貴重な体験でした!

There were whales! クジラいました!

Reviewed by: maki

It was a participation of two mothers and two two-year-old boys! Perhaps because both of them took motion sickness medication, they fell asleep and we couldn't see the good parts, but the mothers were able to catch glimpses even while being unable to move! The staff were also kind, bringing us drinks while we couldn't move.

Since it was early in the morning, we brought rice balls with us. The boat only had granola, so it was great to be able to eat the rice balls we brought during the waiting time. It gets really bumpy once we set off, so I think it's best to eat during the waiting time before boarding the boat.

母二人、二歳の男の子二人での参加でした!
二人とも酔い止めを飲んでいたせいか、寝てしまい、ちょうどいいところで見れませんでしたが、母達は動けない中でもちらっと見ることが出来ました!
スタッフの方も、動けない私たちに飲み物を持ってきてくれたりと親切でした。

朝早くだったので、おにぎりを持参していきました。
船上はグラノーラだけでしたので、待ち時間に持参したおにぎりを食べれて良かったです。
出発するとすごく揺れるので、集合してから船乗するまでの待ち時間に食するとベストだと思います。

Experience of Sea Kayaking with Samurai's Ariyoshi サムライの有吉シーカヤック体験談

Reviewed by: osugi

The weather was clear and perfect, which lifted my spirits. About 15 boats participated, and I was the only one rowing solo. I managed to keep up on the way there, but got a bit tired on the return trip. Towards the end, I was moving slowly, and the instructor kindly pulled me along with a rope, for which I am grateful.

There were quite a few waves on the sea this time, but I was thrilled to enter a cave that I couldn't visit during the tour with Ariyoshi due to rough seas. On the way back, we went snorkeling in a cove, which was my first time in such deep water, and it was also an amazing experience.

Since we split into two groups, the first group probably had to wait quite a bit in this cove. Those who love snorkeling got to enjoy it for a longer time. During the waiting period, we were able to have some juice and snacks.

There were 4 to 5 instructors present, so those who had difficulties could safely return, and they guided us through the shallow areas, making it easy for older participants to join. The round trip was about 3 miles, taking just under an hour one way. It was a comfortable journey thanks to the nice weather.

快晴のいい天気で気分も最高でした。
15艇ほどが参加しましたが1人漕ぎは当方1艘で行きは付いて行きましたが、帰りは少し疲れたので最後にゆっくり進んでいるとインストラクターがロープで連結して引っ張ってくれました、感謝です。
今回も結構海面はうねりが有りましたが、有吉のツアーで海が荒れて行けなかった洞窟にも入れて感激しました。
帰りに入江でシュノーケリング、あんなに水深の有るところでは始めてでこれも感激。
2班に別れての行動だったので一班目はこの入江で結構またされたかな?シュノーケリングが好きな人は長く出来たけど。
待ち時間にはジュースやお菓子をいただけました。
インストラクターが4~5人付いていたので沈した人も安全に復帰でき、浅瀬も誘導してくれて、年配にも安心して参加できます。
往復3マイル、片道1時間弱かな?
いい天気だったので快適な旅でした。

  • 溶岩洞窟への往路、いい天気で眺めが最高、右奥にマウナ・ロアの裾野も見えました。

  • これから写真右奥の洞窟に、少しうねりがあったが、有吉ツアーが入れなかった内部に無事進入出来て良かった。

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>

I saw a manta ray! マンタ見ました!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Two years ago, I participated in a tour swimming with dolphins on the Big Island of Hawaii and was moved by the many dolphins I saw. This time, I'm challenging myself with manta rays. There were four Japanese people, including myself (I participated alone), and about 15 foreigners in the mixed tour. The boat moves at an incredible speed. First, we enjoyed the sunset.

After that, we entered the sea where the mantas come. Then, we just floated and relaxed while waiting to encounter the mantas. After about 15 minutes of waiting, we encountered two small mantas. We then moved to another location and were able to see three large mantas as well. When I saw them, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!"

Since the boat moves quite fast and you just float and wait in the water, I think it's safer to take motion sickness medication even if you're not prone to seasickness.

I asked a couple of questions via email, such as, "Can I participate alone?" and "I'm joining another tour in the morning; will I make it in time for the pickup?" The responses were smooth and good, which is why I gave this rating.

2年前のハワイ島でイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加して、たくさんのイルカを見て感動〜。今回はマンタに挑戦です。日本人は私を入れて4名(私は一人で参加しました)外国の方が15名ぐらいの混在ツアーでした。ボートは凄いスピードで進みます。先ずは夕日を堪能。
その後マンタが来る海へ入ります。
あとはマンタに出会うまでひたすら脱力して浮かんでる状態。マンタを待つこと15分ぐらいで2枚の小さなマンタに遭遇。その後場所を移動して、大きなマンタも3枚見ることができました。見た時は思わず凄ーいと言ってしまいました。
船はかなりのスピードで進むのと、海中ではただひたすら浮いて待つので、酔いやすくない人でも酔い止めはのんでおいたほうが安心だと思います。

「一人で参加できますか?」「午前中に別のツアーに参加していますが、ピックアップ時間は間に合いますか?」など2,3度メールで質問しましたが、対応もスムーズで良かったので、この評価にしました。

Manta rays, whales, and dolphins!! マンタもクジラもイルカも!!

Reviewed by: マンタ大学卒業生

It was really great. Actually, I went dolphin watching on Oahu, but I didn't see any dolphins at that time. However, before going to see the mantas on this tour, I was able to see them from the boat. Plus, we also saw whales! The boat was going really fast, and it was a lot of fun. I took motion sickness medication, so I was fine with the boat ride. The mantas were incredibly large, and I was super excited to see them up close. My husband brought an underwater camera, so we were able to take great photos. I thought it would be cold in December, so I prepared thoroughly, but it wasn't as cold as I expected. It was so much fun!

凄く良かったです。実はオアフ島でドルフィンウォッチングに行ったのですが、その時イルカは見れなかったのに、このツアーでマンタを見に行く前に船の上から見る事ができました。しかもクジラも見れました!船もビュンビュン高速で楽しかったです。酔い止めを飲んで行ったので船酔いも大丈夫でした。マンタはすっごく大きくて、大接近で大興奮しました。旦那君が水中カメラを持参したので、バッチリ写真に収める事が出来ました。12月なので寒いと思い万全の対策で行きましたが、思った程は寒くなかったです。凄く楽しかったです。

Sunset Dinner Cruise サンセットディナークルーズ

Reviewed by: レジーロ

The sunset was very beautiful and amazing. However, the dinner on the cruise ship was disappointing, so my rating is a bit lower. I had dinner at another restaurant afterwards.

サンセットとても綺麗で最高でした。が、客船タイプディナーがお粗末で評価は少しがっかり。
また、別の店でディナーしました。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー 滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く!<午前・午後/英語ガイド/食事付>by フェアウィンド号

Motion sickness medication and a towel are essential! Let's wear our swimsuits under our clothes to the meeting place. 酔い止めとタオルは必須!集合場所には水着を洋服下に着て行こう

Reviewed by: ハワイいいね

Snorkeling in the crystal-clear, calm waters of Kealakekua Bay was enjoyable for the kids as well. We were lucky enough to encounter a pod of dolphins, and they were playing chase with our boat. It was adorable!

The second deck of the boat offers fantastic views, but it sways quite a bit more up there. During the one-hour ride to the snorkeling spot, even passengers who usually don’t get seasick were feeling pretty worn out.

Lunch was a simple barbecue on board. It had an American-style flavor, but if you embrace that, it can be enjoyable. However, I was surprised that the soft drinks were only carbonated and that what was labeled as tropical fruit juice was actually a tropical cocktail (an alcoholic drink).

This tour has a predominantly English-speaking, mostly white crowd, so if you're feeling a bit weary of tours filled with only Japanese people and want to experience being abroad, I recommend it. Additionally, the snorkeling spot has calm waves, making it a good option for first-time snorkelers and families with children aged preschool and up.

透明度抜群の穏やかなケアラケクア湾でシュノーケリングは子供も楽しめました。我々は運良くイルカの群れに遭遇し、我々が乗っている船とイルカの集団が追いかけっこしていました。可愛かった!
船の2階デッキは見晴らし抜群ですが、船は2階の方が相当揺れます。シュノーケリング場所までの片道1時間で、普段は全く船酔いしない同乗者さえグッタリする程でした。
昼食は船内で行われた簡単なバーベキュー。アメリカンな大味ですが、それも含め楽しんでしまえばこっちのもの。ただ、表記されていた事から想像していたのと実際には違ったのはソフトドリンクは炭酸だけである事、トロピカルフルーツジュースではなくトロピカルカクテル(アルコールドリンク)だった事です。
英語オンリーの白人多めのツアーですから日本人ばかりのツアーにちょっと辟易して、海外に来たぞという気分を味わいたい方にはオススメです。
あと、シュノーケル場所は波が穏やかなのでシュノーケリング初体験者や幼稚園児以上の年齢のお子様がいらっしゃるご家族にもいいかもしれません。

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ(キングカメハメハホテル内)<ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

The appearance of the royalty in the canoe was great ❤︎ カヌーでの王族登場が良かったです❤︎

Reviewed by: かずがーが

I stayed at the King Kamehameha Hotel and participated because I am learning hula. As others have mentioned, I don't think reconfirmation is necessary. When I arrived around 5 PM, there was a long line. Most of the people were foreigners. Arriving by canoe from the sea was something unique that other luau shows don't have, and it was very lovely. The food was quite tasty. The show was exciting and enjoyable. It would have been even better if there had been a modern hula show as well.

キングカメカメハホテルに滞在していたのと、フラを習っているので参加しました。
他の方も書かれているように、リコンファームは必要ないかと思います。
17時頃に行くと長蛇の列。
殆どが外国の方でした。
海からカヌーでの登場は他のルアウショーにはなく、とても素敵でした。
お料理は普通に美味しかったです。
ショーの内容も迫力があって楽しめました。
現代フラのショーもあったら尚良かったかな。

Mauna Kea Evening Stargazing & Daytime Solar Viewing Tour with Dinner

Great experience

Reviewed by: Guilietta Kim

It was very impressive that a tour guide has shared a lot of stories about cultures of Hawai'i during the entire tour program. The courses were absolutely nice. The view of a coffee farm was so beautiful and the dinner was much nicer than I expected. When it comes to stargazing tour, the tour guide moved the spot for better sightseeing and it was brilliant. Even though I am not a native speaker, I fully enjoyed this tour program and I highly recommend this one to everyone.

Waipio Shuttle - An Exceptional Guided Sightseeing Tour of Waipio Valley

Great local tour guide kept you entertained along the way while enjoying the breathtaking view of Waipio Valley. Well worthy of the money!

Reviewed by: David

We had a wonderful trip, thanks to our terrific tour guide, Gary! There is only one road down to the valley and up. It is narrow, wet, slippery, and so many sharp turns. Traffic were quite busy in both directions on the day of our trip. Gary apparently is very familiar with the road, and he knows where to stop and wait for the incoming traffic, and when to steer ahead. While maneuvering the shuttle smoothly on a very challenging road, he was busy talking to us about the valley’s history, stories, residents, etc. There are stories everywhere from a tree, a sign, a spring, to a pond. He surely made the trip interesting, even drawing the interest from my younger son who has been bored all the way prior to the tour. The valley scenes are definitely beautiful and breathtaking. You can find all different views with every turn of the road. We took millions of photos. Just be careful don’t drop your phone or camera out of the window. Overall we love the views, and we learned quite a lot from our knowledgeable guide, Gary. I think it is a well worthwhile experience that suits everyone who loves nature and story and who doesn’t have time or energy to go down and up the valley on foot.

野生のイルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングツアー <朝食・昼食付き>

I suffered from seasickness. 船酔いに苦しみました

Reviewed by: たつや

My wife and I participated together. It was a nice day with some waves, but both of us suffered from severe seasickness. While we were snorkeling in the water, it was fine, but once we got back on the boat, the seasickness returned, and we both struggled until we returned to port. That said, the crew's performance and the tour itself were completely fine. The low rating is simply due to our own physical condition. The meeting place was at the beautiful port in Kona, which was also convenient for sightseeing.

妻と二人で参加しました。天気の良い日で波も多少でしたが、自分と妻の両方とも酷い船酔いに苦しみました。シュノーケリングで海の中にいるときは良いのですが船に上がると船酔いが再発して帰港まで二人して苦しみました。とはいえクルーの皆様の働きぶりやツアーそのものは全く問題ないものです。評価が低いのは単純に自分達の体調の問題からの経験です。集合場所は観光にも便利なコナの港でとても綺麗でした。

The dolphin tour in Hawaii taught me a sense of liberation that I had never known before while in the ocean. ハワイの海の中で 今まで知らなかった解放感を教えてくれたイルカツアー

Reviewed by: navi

When it comes to Hawaii, I've seen so many dolphin tours on TV that I thought I wouldn't be too surprised, but it was completely different. It was incredibly fun and is definitely something you should experience! The guides, Daisuke, Rei, and Koichiro, not only gently pointed out the direction of the dolphins but also ensured that the person who stayed on the boat kept an eye on everyone in the water, allowing us to safely and comfortably swim close to the dolphins.

You can't say you've been to Hawaii if you don't do this!

ハワイ と言えば というくらい散々テレビで観ていたイルカツアーだから
そんなに驚愕しないと思って臨みましたが、 全く違います。
すごくすごーく楽しく 必ず体験すべきです!
ガイドのダイスケさん、レイさん、コウイチロウさんは イルカのいる方向を優しく教えてくれるだけでなく、船に残った一人が海面の全員への目配りを怠らず、安全に快適にイルカの動きを間近に見て泳げました。

やらずに過ごしては ハワイとは言えません!

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー 滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く!<午前・午後/英語ガイド/食事付>by フェアウィンド号

Even small children who can't put their faces in the water can enjoy it. 水に顔をつけられない小さい子も楽しめます

Reviewed by: おこりんぼママ

I participated with my 3-year-old and 6-year-old children. They provided a sheet with translations of the instructions in Japanese.

The ride to Kealakekua Bay was somewhat bumpy, and the kids sitting in the front seats on the first floor seemed a bit scared. However, once we arrived and saw a lot of fish in the calm sea, their fear seemed to disappear, and they actually enjoyed the return trip.

My 3-year-old usually dislikes getting water on his face, but when we borrowed a board to look underwater and showed him the fish points, he quietly enjoyed it. At first, he was scared to get on, but afterward, he wanted to ride again and had fun.

Breakfast and lunch were included (they served Costco muffins, which tasted just like the ones in Japan), and considering the prices in Hawaii, I think this is quite a good deal!

We visited various beaches on this trip, but my kids said this one was the most fun. Thank you to all the staff!

3歳と6歳の子供を連れて参加しました。注意事項などは日本語訳のシートを渡してくれます。
ケアラアクア湾に着くまではそれなりに揺れ、1階の前のシートに陣取った子供達は少し怖かった様ですが、現地について穏やかな海で沢山のお魚を見るとその恐怖も吹き飛んだのか帰りは寧ろ楽しんでいました。
3歳の子は水が顔にかかるのも嫌なくらいなのですが、水中が覗けるボードを借り、お魚ポイントを見せてあげると、黙って楽しんでいました。
最初乗るときは怖がってましたが、その後は自ら乗りたい!と楽しんでました。
朝食も昼食もついて(コストコのマフィンとかですが、日本のそれと変わらずの無難な味)ハワイの物価を考えるとこの値段はかなりお得だと思います!
今回の旅で色々なビーチに行きましたが、子供もここが1番楽しかったと言ってました。
スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました!
