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

A refreshing and enjoyable walk by the sea. 爽快で楽しい海の散歩

Reviewed by: hirohiro

I chose this tour because it was just a short walk from the Sheraton where we were staying. It was our first time sea kayaking with our two children, a middle schooler and an elementary schooler, but we were taught patiently, and the operation was simple, allowing us to have fun.

Paddling along the coastline of the endlessly blue sea was undeniably refreshing! The kids were also thrilled with snorkeling. I lacked the courage to jump from the big rock and gave up, but everyone else was jumping in one after another.

At one point, my wife unexpectedly got seasick, so we ate the pineapple snacks we had brought back, but it might have been even more special out on the water.

In any case, we were able to enjoy ourselves with clear instructions given in Japanese, which made us feel at ease. Thank you very much!

宿泊するシェラトンから歩いて直ぐの場所から出発とのことで、このツアーにしました。
中学生と小学生の子供2人を連れての初めてのシーカヤックでしたが、丁寧に教えてもらい、操作も簡単で楽しむことができました。
どこまでも青い海を湾岸沿いに進むのは文句なしに気持ちイイ！子供達もシュノーケリングをして大はしゃぎでした。大岩からの飛び込みは全く勇気がなく断念しましたが、皆どんどん飛び込んでいました。
途中で妻がまさかのカヤック酔いとなったので、おやつのパイナップルは戻って食べましたが、海のうえだとまた格別だったかも。
とにかく日本語で明確に指示してもらい安心して楽しめました。有難うございました！

I was able to join a wonderful tour on my first visit to the Big Island of Hawaii. I never expected to see dolphins so up close! Captain Nawa and Daisuke's teamwork really helped everyone relax, and we had a great time for several hours. I also requested transportation this time, and I think my nephews, who joined me, were satisfied as Daisuke shared many stories about dolphins during the car ride.

I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to the Big Island!

初めてのハワイ島でステキなツアーに参加出来ました。
まさか、あんなに近くでイルカちゃんを見ることが出来るとは思っていませんでした。
縄田キャプテンとダイスケくんのチームワーク、そして参加者をリラックスさせてくれて、数時間楽しむことができました。
今回送迎もお願いしましたが、車の中でもダイスケくんからイルカの話をたくさん聞いて、一緒に参加した甥っ子たちも満足だったと思います。

次回ハワイ島に行く時も、是非参加したいです！

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

Great Snorkel Cruise

Reviewed by: HawaiiLove

Family trip with 3 teenage boys. Everyone loved it. Water slides were a fun addition. Good breakfast and lunch including vegetarian options. Snuba on trip was not as fulfilling. Overpriced ($69 additional to cruise charge) and too short(30mins). For the price, they should have included that free with the cruise as others do. Otherwise, great trip. Thanks~

Everyone in the group smiled! 参加者みんなが笑顔になりました♪

Reviewed by: Tomomi

I participated on August 25th. As Mr. Nawata cheerfully said, "Dolphins are natural creatures, so there's no 100% guarantee, but we will do our best!" we entered the water at just the right moment to see many dolphins, and when they disappeared, we boarded the boat again. He also created many opportunities by saying, "This way!" while observing their movements.

The staff members were wonderful. I was very impressed by their proactive support for elderly participants and children. They made sure each participant felt satisfied by bringing us close to the dolphins, saying things like, "You were really close just now, [Name]!" The teamwork was outstanding, with Maddy on the boat loudly informing us, "They are coming toward us from 20 meters away." It was heartwarming to see how much they love dolphins and enjoy their work, conveying their desire for participants to experience this joy.

Meeting so many dolphins up close felt like a dream.

It was so much fun that I participated again during my stay. Mr. Nawata mentioned, "The last time was so great, so don't expect too much this time," but the second time exceeded the first! Right beneath us, a pod of 5 to 6 dolphins danced multiple times. At one point, our swim guide Daisuke joined in on the dolphins' play. It was a very happy sight to witness.

The boat swaying felt like an attraction and was enjoyable, but for those who are not confident with even a little motion, I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance. It's a wonderful opportunity, after all.

Thank you to everyone at Aloha Konas, all the fellow passengers, the dolphins, and the great nature of the Big Island for such a fun time. With heartfelt gratitude.

　8月25日に参加しました。「イルカは、自然の生き物だから100％はないけど、ウチは粘るよ～」と縄田さんが明るく笑顔でおっしゃっていた通り、イルカの動きをよんで「さあ、今！」と海に入り、いっぱいイルカに会って、いなくなると、再び乗船。また、動きを見て「こっちだよ」とたくさんの機会をつくってくださいます。

　素晴らしいのが、スタッフの方々。高齢の方や、お子さんを積極的にフォローする姿勢に、大変好感をもちました。また、参加者一人ひとりに、「〇〇さん、さっきすごく近くだったね」「〇〇さんも」とみんなが満足できるように、イルカの近くまで連れていってくださいます。チームワークも抜群で、船上からマディさんが「20m先からこっちに向かってきているよ」など大きな声で教えてくれます。そして、イルカが大好きで楽しんで仕事をしていて、参加者に「この楽しさをぜひ味わってもらいたい」という気持ちが伝わってくることを嬉しく思いました。
たくさんのイルカと、ものすごく近くで会って、夢のような時間でした。

　あまりに楽しかったので、滞在中に再び参加しました。縄田さんは、「前回が良すぎだったから、期待しすぎないでねー」とおっしゃっていましたが…、
2回目は1回目以上！
私たちが浮いている真下で、イルカが5～6頭の群れになって何回も踊って（？）いました。
途中からは、スイムガイドのダイスケくんもイルカたちの遊びに加わっていました。
見ていて、とても幸せな光景でした。

　船が揺れてアトラクションみたいで楽しいのですが、
少しでも揺れに自信がない方は、酔い止めの薬を事前に飲まれることを
おすすめします。せっかくの楽しい機会なので…。

　アロハコナーズの皆様、一緒に乗船した皆様、イルカちゃんたち、ハワイ島の大自然、
とても楽しい時間をありがとうございました。
心からの感謝をこめて。

Traveling by speedboat was refreshing. The snorkeling was amazing, with the water being very clear and transparent. I was so engrossed in watching the fish that I lost track of time. I was thrilled to encounter dolphins. It was adorable to see a mother and baby dolphin surfacing for air at the same time.
Seeing the vastness of the Big Island of Hawaii from the sea made me feel like I was in a foreign land.

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 can recommend it for families with children. 子供連れにもオススメできます

Reviewed by: ハワイ島最高！

We participated as a family with our three children, aged 11, 8, and 5.

The snorkeling location was quite deep (over 10-15 meters?), and since our youngest child couldn't swim, we had some concerns. However, they provided children's life jackets, and with the floaties we brought, the kids were able to float and enjoy themselves. The older two were initially scared, but as they got used to it, they enjoyed snorkeling in the clear sea. The staff were also very friendly, and the freshly made hamburgers were delicious. We even got to see dolphins along the way, making it a very satisfying tour overall.

Since the boat ride to the snorkeling location is quite long, it's advisable for those prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication beforehand (the older child got seasick). If you have small children, bringing floaties would enhance their enjoyment as well.

Despite a few challenges, it was a very enjoyable tour, and I can definitely recommend it for families.

11歳、8歳、5歳の3人の子供と家族で参加しました。

シュノーケリングする場所は結構深く（10～15ｍ以上？）、
下の子供は泳ぐことができない為、多少不安もありましたが、
子供用のライフジャケットも完備されており、持参した浮き輪を使って
ぷかぷかと浮かんで楽しんでいました。
上の２人も最初は怖がっていましたが、慣れてくるとシュノーケルを使って
透き通った海を楽しんでいました。
スタッフの方も非常に親切で、焼き立てのハンバーガも美味しかったです。
途中イルカにも会うことができ、ツアーとしては非常に満足できるものでした。

シュノーケリングする場所まで結構乗船する為、船酔いする方は
酔い止めを必ず飲んでいった方が良いです。（上の子は酔いました）
また小さな子供がいるようであれば、浮き輪も持参した方が楽しめると
思います。

いろいろとありましたが、ツアーとしては非常に楽しめるもので
家族連れの方にも十分おすすめできます。

Amazing! 凄い！

Reviewed by: ケンシロウ

I participated with my children (ages 13 and 10). Since it was a night activity, I was worried about bringing them along, but there were no issues at all. The size of the manta rays and their impressive presence right in front of us were incredible. We were very excited. The kids were also very satisfied. We would like to participate again next time. However, there is no detailed description of the meeting place (landmarks), so those gathering on-site need to be cautious. A truck towing a boat comes near the public restroom, but the tour name is not displayed, so you have to ask for information yourself. Additionally, while the tour description mentions drinks and snacks, none were provided. This needs to be corrected.

子供（13歳、10歳）を連れて参加しました。夜のアクティビティーだったので、子連れでは心配だったのですが、全く問題ありませんでした。
マンタの大きさと目の前に迫ってくる迫力は凄いの一言。とても興奮しました。
子供達も大満足。また、次回参加したいです。
ただ、集合場所が詳細（目印）の記載がないので、現地集合の人は注意が必要です。
公衆トイレ近くにボートを牽引したトラックが来ますが、ツアーの名称は表記されないので自分から声かけて聞くしか方法がありません。
また、ツアー内容に飲料、軽食の記載がありますが、提供はありませんでした。修正が必要ですね。

Reviewed by: ラブリン

On the boat, they ask for your fin size and provide you with the appropriate ones. They also have snorkeling gear available. They lend you a type of life jacket that wraps around your waist (suitable for both children and adults), so you don’t need to bring your own goggles.

It takes about an hour to reach Cook's Tower by boat, and even though our family took motion sickness medication, we felt a bit queasy. The BBQ cheeseburgers were incredibly delicious, just as mentioned in other reviews! The breakfast muffins were tasty, reminiscent of Costco's.

This was my family's first time participating after visiting the Big Island six times, and we were more satisfied than with any other tour. The beauty of the ocean was amazing.

船の上で、フィンのサイズを聞いて、サイズにあったものを貸してくれます。シュノーケリング道具も。
浮き輪も腰に巻くタイプの（子供から大人まで）ライフジャケット（？）浮きを貸してくれるので、ゴーグルなどの持参も必要ないです。
クックの塔まで１時間くらい船に揺られるので、私たち家族は（酔い止め薬を飲んでいても）少し酔いました。
ＢＢＱのチーズバーガーは他の書き込み通り、とっても美味しかったです！朝食のマフィンはコストコのかな？って感じで美味しかったです。
６度目のハワイ島で、初参加でしたがどの観光よりも満足で、海の綺麗さが素晴らしかったです。

I was very satisfied! 大満足でした！

Reviewed by: sachi

It was my first dolphin tour on the Big Island. I had tried three times on Oahu, but I wasn't lucky with the weather, so this was my fourth attempt!

It was absolutely amazing!! From the moment we got in, we could see dolphins up close! Even without searching hard, dolphins were swimming nearby, and it was so moving! I could hear their sounds the whole time!

Compared to Oahu, the travel time on the boat was shorter, and we didn't have to get on and off the boat multiple times. Dolphins kept coming to the same spot, so it felt like we could see them the whole time we were swimming.

Even if you're not a strong swimmer, they lend you a noodle, and the guide, Daisuke, pulls you to the dolphins, so it's very reassuring! Daisuke's dolphin talks during the car ride were also a lot of fun and really added to the tour! (By a strange twist of fate, he even shared some local stories!)

I definitely want to go back to the Big Island for this tour again! Thank you, Captain and Daisuke!!

ハワイ島での初めてのイルカツアーでした。
これまでオアフ島で３回チャレンジしましたが、
なかなか良い日に恵まれず、今回４度目のリベンジ！

とにかくすごかったですっ！！
入った瞬間から間近にイルカが見れました！
その後も必死に探さなくてもすぐにイルカが近くに泳いでいて、感動しきりでした！
イルカの声もずっと聞こえていました！

オアフ島に比べ、船に乗って移動する時間も短く、
何度も船を乗り降りしなくても、同じ場所でどんどんイルカがやって来てくれたので、
泳いでいる間ずっと見れたという感じです。

泳ぎが苦手でもヌードルを貸してもらえますし、
ガイドのダイスケさんがイルカの所まで引っ張って行ってくれるので安心です！
行き帰りの車の中でのダイスケさんのイルカトークもとっても楽しく、

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Once in a lifetime experience

Reviewed by: Holly

My sister and I did the sea kayaking adventure our second day here, and we had a blast! It's about and hour out and an hour back, so be prepared to do some paddling, but well worth what's waiting for you at the end. Our guide showed us the sea caves, and let us take a dip in the most remote part of the world (think about it, no joke) and then took us to a small cove where we anchored to snorkel. Saw so many different fish, all different shapes and colors, and the water is crystal clear. After we had snacks on the lava rocks surrounding the cove and a few in the group tried their hand a cliff jumping (not for me, but very safe and looked like fun). HIGHLY recommend doing is excursion. One tip, bring water shoes! you can do it without but it would have been easier with. The guides, Angus and Dana, were awesome! Really fun and very knowledgeable.

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＞

Blue sea, a sense of freedom, dolphins. 青い海、開放感、イルカ

Reviewed by: アンジェリカ

We participated as a couple in our 40s, with a child and my mother in her 70s who cannot speak English. The boat has two levels; the first floor has shaded areas and tables, but all the seats were "reserved," making it difficult to find a place to sit. We were the only Japanese family, and all announcements were in English. There was one men's restroom, one women's restroom, and one unisex restroom.

When we first arrived, there was a small breakfast buffet with about two types of muffin-like bread and fruit. Water, coffee, and soft drinks were free, but alcohol cost extra.

Right after departure, we were able to see a pod of dolphins swimming quite close to us, which was thrilling. There were no sea turtles, but flying fish were gliding through the air like birds, which was exciting! Upon reaching the snorkeling point, everyone gathered on the first floor for a detailed safety briefing about the snorkeling area. There seemed to be a class for those snorkeling for the first time. Unlike Japanese snorkeling tours, there was no selection of fins or goggles; it was self-service. Most people swam without lifeguards, so the number of lifeguards was limited, but there were long styrofoam rods that everyone seemed to hold onto while swimming.

For lunch, there was a buffet with bread, hamburgers, vegetables, and fruits, where we could take our favorite ingredients and make our own sandwiches. It was very delicious under the blue sky.

I thought we would arrive at the port by 12:30, but that was actually the end time for snorkeling. The water temperature was not too low, and the sea was deep, allowing us to see many fish. On the way back to the port, we were thrilled to see another pod of dolphins. The foreign participants were friendly and approachable, and I was particularly surprised that the customers were kind to my mother, who was flustered and unable to speak English, offering her their place in line. I thought this aspect of foreign culture was truly wonderful. By the way, my elderly mother stayed on the boat without swimming, but she said she had a great time without any worries.

After the tour, there were many small shops like stalls at the port, and I unexpectedly bought a Kona coffee bag that I had wanted for a long time, which was a nice bonus. I was filled with anxiety before signing up, but I would love to participate again.

40代夫婦、子供、70代英会話できない母親と参加。船は1階と2階があり、1階は日よけスペースとテーブルつきの席がありますが、どれも「reserved」で座れず、席を確保するのが大変でした。日本人家族は私たちだけ、アナウンスは全部英語です。トイレは男性用1、女性用1、男女兼用1でした。まず最初に行くと、朝食バイキング(小規模)をやっています。マフィンのようなパン2種程とフルーツ等。水、コーヒー、ソフトドリンクは無料。アルコールはお金がかかります。
出発してすぐにドルフィンの群れを見る事ができました。かなり近くまで泳いできてくれて感激。ウミガメはいませんでした。でもトビウオが鳥みたいにスイスイ飛んでいて感激！ポイントに到着し、全員1階に集合して、シュノーケルで泳いでいいエリア、安全確認の綿密な説明を受けます。シュノーケル初めての人のための教室もあったようです。日本のシュノーケルツアーのようにフィンやゴーグルを選んでくれることもなくセルフサービスです。ほとんとの人がライフセーバーなしで泳ぐので、ライフセーバーの数も限られていますが、ライフセーバーの代わりに細長いスチロール棒があり、これにつかまって皆泳いでいたようです。
ランチは、パン、ハンバーグ、野菜、果物などがバイキング形式に並んでいて、好きな具を自分で取ってはさんで食べる方式でした。青い空の下、とてもおいしいお味でした。
12時半に港に着くのかと思っていたら、シュノーケル終了が12時半でした。水温もそれほど低くなく、海が深くてたくさんの魚を見る事ができました。港に戻る途中、またイルカの群れを見る事ができて感激しました。参加している外国の人たちも、気さくに声をかけてくださったり、特に驚いたのは、英語が全然できなくておろおろしている母に、お客さん達が優しく接してくださり順番を譲ってくださったりしたことです。こういった外国の文化は本当に素晴らしいと思いました。ちなみに高齢の母は、泳がずにずっと船の上にいましたが、気兼ねなく楽しかったと話していました。ツアーが終わって、港の停泊所にはたくさんの屋台？のような小物のお店が軒を連ねていて、以前から欲しかったコナコーヒーのバッグを思いがけず購入することができ、二度特でした。申し込む前は不安でいっぱいでしたが、また参加したいです。

Reviewed by: tama-kichi

What impressed me the most was the thoughtfulness of Captain and the swim supporter, Daisuke, towards the participants. Their humorous orientation and the way they interacted on the boat created a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere for the entire tour group. It was a tour that clearly conveyed their desire to prioritize customer satisfaction. Perhaps it was also because we were all Japanese.

Now, regarding the dolphins, we spotted a pod just three minutes after departing from the harbor and quickly dropped in. We were able to see many dolphins up close. We chased the pod multiple times, dropping in ahead of them repeatedly, enjoying dolphin watching countless times. While on the boat, we also got to see adorable baby dolphins (the size of skipjack tuna) performing spin jumps, and we truly had a wonderful time surrounded by dolphins.

Meeting the dolphins greatly enhanced our satisfaction, but above all, it was the friendly and kind nature of Captain and Daisuke that filled our hearts during the tour. Thank you very much. It was fun.

最も印象に残ったのは、キャプテンさん、スイムサポータ（ダイスケさん）の参加者への心遣いです。ユーモアを入れたオリエンテーションや船上での対応など、お二人のお人柄もあってツアー客全体が緊張感ほぐれリラックスした居心地の良い雰囲気になりました。随所にお客さんの満足を優先させたいという思いが伝わるツアーでした。日本人同士ということもあったのかもしれませんね。

さて肝心のイルカちゃんですが、船上、3分。ハーバーから出発した直後から群れを発見して早速、ドロップ。たくさんのイルカを間近に見ることができました。その後も何度となく群れを追いかけ、先回りしてはドロップを繰り返して数えることが出来ない回数、ドルフィンウォッチを楽しむことができました。また船上にいるときも、かわいい赤ちゃんイルカ（カツオサイズ）のスピンジャンプを見ることができたり、本当にイルカに囲まれた楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

イルカと会えたことが満足度を引き上げましたが、何と言ってもキャプテン、ダイスケさんの気さくで優しいお人柄で心が満たされたツアーでした。ありがとうございました。楽しかったです。

Now, my child talks about dolphins every day. Even for those who can't swim, Daisuke will pull and guide you, and it was touching to see the dolphins playing with Daisuke.

They also sell DVDs and will ship them to Japan. I was so moved that I couldn't stop crying. We will definitely come back, so please take care of us again.

I can't believe I can see it so close... こんな近くで見られるなんて・・・

Reviewed by: surfstyle

At first, I only intended to sign up for the dolphin tour, but since they mentioned that we could see manta rays, I participated with some hesitation. I drove to the meeting place by rental car, but the map on the internet was a bit vague, so I got flustered trying to find the location. However, I received detailed instructions over the phone, so I arrived safely. You can check in at a spacious parking lot with public restrooms at Honokohau Harbor, which is a bit further in than the online map suggested. If you're going on your own, be careful. I stayed in Waikoloa, and it took about 30 minutes by car.

The fins, masks, and snorkels were relatively new, and since it was nighttime in the ocean, you can rent a wetsuit for $10. Many Japanese women are petite, so my wife, who is 154 cm tall, needed an XS size. I was used to the ocean, so I was fine with just a long-sleeve rash guard and wetsuit pants in July in Hawaii, but for those who aren't used to it, I think it's better to rent a wetsuit instead of bringing one, as it can be bulky.

It took about 20 minutes to reach the manta ray location. You can watch the sunset from the water, so I recommend it as a sunset cruise as well. Once the sun sets and it gets dark, the encounter with the manta rays begins.

Although it gets dark, participants don't swim around separately; instead, we all hold onto something like a floating raft and drift together on the water, which is reassuring. The raft has a spotlight, and manta rays come close to eat the plankton illuminated by it, so you can see them spinning and dancing right in front of you, over and over again. The photos I uploaded here were taken with a compact digital camera, and they come close enough to capture beautiful shots without needing a special camera.

Since you're floating while holding onto the raft, even those who usually don't get seasick might feel a bit queasy, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication. However, the experience is so moving that I absolutely recommend it. The dolphin tour is fun, but the emotional impact of seeing the manta rays might be even greater.

Lastly, the tour guide (sometimes a guy?) was very kind and spoke Japanese, always checking in with "Are you okay?" while we were on the water, which I found very reassuring.

最初は、イルカツアーだけ申し込むつもりでしたが、マンタが見られるということなので、半信半疑で参加しました。
集合場所へは、レンタカーで自力で行ったのですが、ネットに出ていた集合場所の地図が少しアバウトだったので場所がわからずに焦りました。でも、電話で丁寧に教えてもらえたので、無事到着。ネットの地図よりももう少し奥、ホノコハウハーバーの公衆トイレのある広々とした駐車場でチェックインできます。自分で行かれる方は要注意です。ワイコロアに泊まっていましたが、車で３０分でした。

フィンも、マスクも、シュノーケルも新しめの物ですし、夜の海ですから、ウエットスーツは１０ドルで借りられます。日本の女性は小柄な方が多いので、私の妻は身長１５４ｃｍでＸＳサイズでした。
私は、海には慣れていたので７月のハワイだし、長袖ラッシュガードとウエットパンツでＯＫでしたが、慣れていない方はウエットスーツを持参すると嵩張りますので、レンタルされると良いと思います。

マンタの場所までは、２０分位？で到着。その場で海の上から夕日が沈むのを眺められますので、サンセットクルーズ？としてもお勧めです。
夕日が沈んで、あたりが暗くなってきたら、いよいよマンタとの遭遇が始まります。

周囲は暗くなりますが、参加者がバラバラで泳ぐのではなく、海に浮かぶいかだのような物に捕まって、全員一緒に海上を漂うことになりますので安心です。
そのいかだにスポットライトがついていて、そこに照らされるプランクトンを食べるためにマンタが寄ってきますから、もうホントに目の前でマンタが何度も、何度も、何度もクルクルと回転してダンスを見せてくれますよ。
※その時撮影した写真がここにＵＰしたものです。特殊なカメラではなく、コンパクトデジカメで撮影してもこれだけ綺麗に撮れるほど近くに来てくれます。

イカダに捕まって浮かんだ状態ですから、船酔いしにくい人でも酔いやすいので、酔い止め薬は飲んでいったほうがいいと思いますが、それに勝る感動がありますので、絶対にお勧めです。イルカツアーも楽しいですけど、イルカよりも感動が大きいかもです。

最後に、ツアーガイドのお姉さん（時にはお兄さん？）は、日本語でとっても優しく対応してくれますし、海の上でも、いつも「大丈夫？」と気遣ってくれるので、とっても心強いと思います。

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＞ *48時間前までキャンセル無料

Thank you for the wonderful experience. 素敵な体験をありがとう

Reviewed by: Tama

I might be able to meet a manta ray?? Just imagining it makes me excited, and that alone prompted me to sign up.

I started to wonder about the staff—who they would be and if they could speak Japanese. As the meeting time approached, I began to feel a bit anxious, but the person who came to pick me up was the very cheerful and bright Kouji, along with a captain who had a wonderful smile and was very kind, which put me at ease.

When we arrived at the point, we enjoyed the beautiful sunset for a while while putting on our masks and getting ready. The beauty of the sunset changed its expression moment by moment, making it hard to look away! It felt like the hustle and bustle of city life was being purified by the sunset, and my heart felt warm and enchanted!

Suppressing my eager feelings, I entered the sea! The night sea was colder and darker than I expected, but Kouji held my hand firmly and guided me safely to the boat for manta watching.

The manta rays were larger and more impressive than I had imagined, swimming around in front of me, spinning again and again! There were moments when I thought I would bump into them! They swam so close, spinning around right in front of me. In the end, the manta rays performed a welcoming dance for me countless times—maybe a dozen?

Unlike dolphins, manta rays love lively environments, so it's easy to tell when a tour has them. I wonder how many boats were floating in the sea? Among the countless tours, ours was a lucky one where the manta rays welcomed us first.

I am grateful that the experienced and skilled staff contributed to today's success. Whether we would see them or not was a binary outcome, but for us, who participated in this limited time as travelers, the staff's expertise led to an unforgettable experience!

If I want to see manta rays again, I would love to sign up for Manta University, and I highly recommend it to anyone planning to visit the Big Island!

I am thankful for the precious experience and the memories I was able to create!

Thank you very much!☆

マンタに会えるかも？？想像しただけでワクワクしそれだけで申し込みをしました。

スタッフの方がどんな方なのか？日本語で大丈夫なのか？？
集合時間が近づいてくると少しそんな事もきになり始めましたが
お迎えに来て下さったのはとても明るい陽気なkoujiさんと
笑顔が素敵でとても親切なキャプテンで一安心しました。

ポイントに着くと少しの間美しいサンセットを楽しみながらマスクを装着し準備を進めます。サンセットの美しさは刻々と表情を変え一瞬々目が離せません！
日頃暮らす都会の喧騒をサンセットに浄化してくれた様に心がほっこりうっとりします！

逸る気持ちを抑えて海に入ります！
夜の海は思ったより冷たくて暗いですがマンタをウオッチングするボートまではKoujiさんがしっかりと手を握って安心安全に誘導してくれます。

マンタは想像以上に多きくて大迫力
目の前をくるくる回転しながら何度も何度も泳いで行きます！
何度マンタとぶつかる！思った瞬間があったことでしょう～！？？
それ程目の前の近距離をくるくる回転しながら泳いで行きます。
結局マンタは十数回？数えられない程目の前で歓迎のダンスを魅せてくれました。

マンタはイルカと違って賑やかなのが大好きなのでマンタが来ているツアーはすぐ分かります。何艘の船が海に浮かんでいた事でしょうか？数えきれないツアーの数の中でも
私達のツアーはマンタが真っ先にお出迎えしてくれたラッキーなツアーになりました。

これも経験豊富な熟練されたスタッフの方々の感が今日の成果に繋がったと感謝しております。会えるか！会えないか？Oか１００どちらかしかない結果を体験する事になる訳ですが旅行者という限られた時間の中で参加する私達にとってはスタッフの手腕が運に繋がり忘れられない素敵な時間を過ごせた事に感謝いたしております！

またマンタを観たくなったらマンタ大学に申し込みたいですし
Big islandを訪れる予定にある方にはマンタ大学をイチオシしたいと思います！

貴重な体験を思い出を作る事が出来た事に感謝です！

ありがとうございました☆

ケアウホウ湾　シーカヤック＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞by オーシャンサファリ・カヤック

It was fun! 楽しかったー！！

Reviewed by: mai

We were the only Japanese participants, and the tour was entirely in English. However, they explained everything slowly and clearly, which was very kind of them. I imagined we would only kayak a little and do some snorkeling, but we actually kayaked quite a bit and went far. It's not really recommended for those who lack stamina. But for active people like us, it was the perfect tour! It was so much fun!! We crossed beautiful seas and went right up to the cave, which was thrilling! For those who are brave, they also take you to a spot where you can jump from a 10-meter cliff, which was incredibly refreshing!

日本人の参加者は私たちだけで、すべて英語のツアーです。ただ、わかりやすいようにゆっくり説明してくれてとても親切でした。少しだけカヤックしてシュノーケリングのイメージでしたが、結構がっつりカヤックして遠くまで行きました。体力のない方はあまりおすすめではありません。でもアクティブな私達にはぴったりなツアーでした♪すっごく楽しかったです！！きれいな海を渡り、洞窟の前まで行ってスリル満天でした！勇気のある人は１０ｍの崖からジャンプできるスポットにも連れて行ってもらえるので、すごく爽快でした☆

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

Enjoying the beautiful blue sea! 青い海で大満喫！

Reviewed by: ななとも

I went kayaking with my mother, sister, and husband. It was my first time kayaking, but Kevin and Noni taught us patiently, and we were able to paddle happily. The snacks and pineapple during the break were also very delicious, making it a wonderful experience. When we got back, even though I applied sunscreen, my skin turned really red. I felt the intense Hawaiian sun even for just a few hours. Our advice is that you should definitely bring a shirt or jacket that covers your whole body. Otherwise, your skin can get close to a sunburn. I think it would be even more considerate if King Kayak included such advice on their website, which would improve their ratings. I would love to participate again when I visit the Big Island. Thank you very much.

母、妹、主人そして私とカヤック体験しました。
カヤックは初めてでしたが、ケビンさんとノニさんが丁寧に教えてくださり楽しく漕ぐことができました。
休憩時のスナックやパイナップルもとってもおいしくて、とても良い体験ができました。
帰ってきたら日焼け止めを塗っていても肌がまっかになりました。
ほんの数時間でもハワイの熱い太陽を実感しました。
私たちからのアドバイスですが、絶対全身覆えるシャツや上着を持っていくべきです。
そうしないと肌が火傷状態に近くなったりします。
キングカヤックさんのHPでもそのような文面を入れられてるとさらに丁寧で評価も上がると思います。
またハワイ島に行ったときは、参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾　シュノーリングツアー ＜軽食付き／英語ガイド＞

It was great. よかったです。

Reviewed by: Miyako

The boat offers an incredibly fast roller coaster experience. You can enjoy the lava from the outside of Hawaii Island. The snorkeling was exceptionally beautiful. The fish playing in the protected coral reefs were truly colorful and there were many different species. They took plenty of time, and it was very healing.

The cave exploration was during the day, so we couldn't go inside due to high tide, but we were able to enjoy the view. We encountered wild dolphins. All the explanations were in English. The meeting place was hard to find, and it felt like searching for the SeaQuest vehicle at the port.

ボートは非常に非常に早くジェットコースター気分を味わえます。外からのハワイ島の溶岩が堪能できます。シュノーケリングは最高にきれいでした。保護されているサンゴ礁で遊ぶ魚たちは本当に色鮮やかで種類も沢山。時間も沢山とってくれ非常に癒されました。
洞窟探検は昼ツアーだったせいか満ち潮で中にははいれず眺める程度。でも野生のイルカに遭遇できました。説明は全部英語。集合場所はわかりにくく港のシークエストの車を探す感じ。

Island Breeze Luau at King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel with Show, Dinner & Drinks Included

Lots of fun! Teens enjoyed show.

Reviewed by: First Time in Hawaii

Wasn't sure how we would like this since we don't normally like touristy things, but we really enjoyed the show. Food was good and I would recommend paying the premium upgrade amount as it helped us skip the line and then sit up front to watch the show. My son who just turned 14 really liked the activities and the show -- he even tried poi. My daughter who is 18 enjoyed the show -- especially the fire dance. Overall, the hosts and staff were very nice and accommodating. The performers were wonderful and even funny at times. I would highly recommend this event if you have never been to a Luau.

プライベートチャーター　ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング+イルカウォッチングツアー！GoProレンタルあり＜午前／日本語ガイド＞

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: SACHIKO

It was my first time snorkeling, but they provided the flotation devices and followed us closely in the water. There was also someone watching from the boat, so I felt safe and enjoyed myself. Since we moved to where the dolphins are, I think the encounter rate is close to 100 percent. I participated alone, but they were very considerate, helping with everything from getting on and off the boat to taking photos. I highly recommend it!

はじめてのシュノーケルでしたが、浮き具もかしてくれるし、海の中でもしっかりフォローしてくれました。船からも一人、見ていてくれるので、安心して楽しめました。イルカのいる場所まで移動するので遭遇率は100パーセントとに近いと思います。ひとりでの参加でしたが、シュノーケルだけでなく、船の乗り降りから、写真から何かとお気遣いいただしました。おすすめです！

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

The best moment! 最高のひととき！

Reviewed by: nao

On our honeymoon, we participated in this tour on our first day in Hawaii Island. We arrived at the location, rubbing our sleepy eyes since it was early morning. The moment we got there, we were amazed by the stunning blue ocean that made us forget our sleepiness!

We were greeted by a lovely couple who were our guides. Before we set off, they gave us a clear briefing, and then we headed out into the vast Pacific Ocean! It was a private ocean just for us and the guides.

They mentioned that we might be lucky enough to see dolphins, but unfortunately, we didn't encounter any this time, which was disappointing... However, we were taken to a hidden snorkeling spot where we enjoyed the coral reefs and tropical fish to our heart's content.

Overall, we had a fulfilling time, and it helped us get some exercise, making it a win-win tour!

新婚旅行ではじめてのハワイ島、その初日にこのツアーに参加しました。早朝との事で眠い目をこすりながら現地に到着。その途端、眠気なんて吹っ飛ぶほどの青い海にまず感動！
アクティブな奥さんと素敵な旦那さんの夫婦のガイドさんが出迎えてくれました。
出発の前に分かりやすくレクチャーしてもらい、いざ太平洋の大海原へ！
あたりは私たちとガイドさんだけのプライベートオーシャン。
運が良ければイルカに会えるらしいですが、この時は会えず、残念・・・
それでも、シュノーケリングの穴場に連れて行ってもらい、サンゴ礁と熱帯魚を満足いくまで楽しむことが出来ました。
とにかく充実した時間を過ごしながら、運動不足も解消され、一石二鳥のツアーでした！
