I was able to enjoy snorkeling to my heart's content in the beautifully clear Kealakekua Bay. The crew members were all kind, and it was a wonderful experience. However, the meal was perhaps not what I would call a "luxurious BBQ lunch."

透明度抜群のケアラケクア湾で思う存分、シュノーケルを楽しめた。
クルーの方々もみな親切で素晴らしい経験が出来た。
ただ食事は「豪華BBQランチ」とは言い難かったかも。

The quality of food for a dinner cruise was above-average. Drinks were good. The crew was pretty solidly great, mixing an easy-going sociability with attentiveness. And we were lucky enough to see dolphins, glimpse whales, and spend time with a manta ray, all before catching a fantastic sunset.

We went to this on our last night in Hawaii. It was a really great way to close out a terrific week. The food was delicious, and we had two vegetarians in our party! The entertainment was amazing, much more than hula dancers. The setting was exceptional, a tropical paradise. I recommend this luau highly!

We participated as a family of five with our three elementary school children. Although we arrived later than our scheduled time, we were welcomed without any issues. The show was, of course, fantastic, and the buffet-style meal was very delicious, leaving both the adults and the kids very satisfied. The family next to us was from Canada and also had children, so even though the kids couldn't communicate verbally, they played together happily, and my husband and I were able to communicate as well. It was truly a wonderful dinner show. We would love to participate again!

小学生の子供３人を連れて家族５人で参加しました。到着予定時刻が遅れた為、予約時間に遅れてしまったのですが、全く問題なく快く受け付けて頂きました。ショーはもちろん、ビュッフェ形式の食事は大変美味しく、大人も子供たちも大満足でした。隣の席のカナダからのご家族も子供連れだったので、子供同士が言葉は通じなくても仲良く遊んだり、私たち夫婦もコミュニケーションが取れて、本当に素敵なディナーショーでした。また参加したいです！

After leaving the port, we immediately saw dolphins. Moreover, there was a large pod. They were jumping as well. Some dolphins were chasing after the boat.

出港後、すぐにイルカが見れました。
しかも大量の群れ。ジャンプも。
船の後を追いかけてくるイルカもいました。

Had a rest time. The show was very good and the food better than expected. It was a good venue also.

I parked my car in the hotel parking lot. Normally, the parking fee for non-guests is high, but guests of the luau could park for $5. The venue has long tables where you sit with others, but since the other tables are not all acquaintances, it doesn't feel awkward. The food was delicious, the performances were enjoyable, and my son, who is under three years old, had a great time. I was worried that little kids might get bored halfway through, but he seemed to be fascinated by the dancing and music, sitting quietly and happily watching the stage.

ホテルの駐車場に車を停めました。普通宿泊客でない駐車料は高いですがルアウの客は５ドルで停められました。会場は長テーブルで相席になりますが他のテーブルも皆知り合い同士じゃないのでお互い気になりません。食事もおいしく、パフォーマンスも楽しく、3歳未満の息子も楽しめました。小さい子は途中で飽きてしまうか心配でしたが、踊りや音楽が興味深かったようでおとなしくじっとステージを見て喜んでいました。

I was worried because I had my son who is under three years old, but all the children's floaties were available for free rental. The staff was friendly and accommodating, which made it enjoyable.
Both breakfast and lunch were delicious, and my son was happy.
The snorkeling spot had clear water and was a great experience. It seemed to be full, so the boat felt a bit crowded, but the amount of food was sufficient, and during snorkeling, everyone enjoyed their activities, so it didn't bother me at all. The restroom on the boat was clean. They also provided careful assistance for snorkeling beginners.

３歳未満の息子もいたので心配でしたが、子供用の浮き輪などすべて無料でレンタルできます。スタッフも気さくでフレンドリーに対応してくれて楽しめました。
朝食も昼食もおいしく、息子も喜んでいました。
シュノーケルの場所も水がきれいでいい経験でした。満員だったようで船上は少し込み合った感がありましたが食事の量も十分だし、シュノーケル中はそれぞれの行動を楽しむので全く気になりませんでした。船の中のトイレもきれいです。シュノーケル初心者にも丁寧に対応してくれます。

I was truly moved by participating in the dolphin snorkeling. My husband and I are 70 and 67 years old, respectively, and this was certainly the oldest challenge for us. I had previously experienced a dolphin tour on Oahu with my daughter, so I recommended it to my husband to share that excitement. I'm really glad we participated. We encountered hundreds of dolphins. It was a dreamlike moment. Daisuke, who guided us, put in a lot of effort to make the tour better, and I’ve decided in my heart that I want to participate again next time. Thank you for such a moving day.

イルカシュノーケルに参加して本当に感動しました。私達夫婦は夫が70歳私が67歳、もちろん最年長の挑戦でした。私は前にオアフ島でイルカのツアーは娘と体験済みだったのであの感動を夫にも、と勧めました。参加して本当に良かったです。何百頭ものイルカに遭遇したのです。夢のようなひと時でした。案内してくれたダイスケ、より良いツアーにしてくれた努力がすごく感じられ次も参加したいと心に決めました。本当に感動の１日をありがとう。

We enjoyed the narrative of the history of the island. The staff was friendly and helpful. This is the only company that is wheelchair accessible for a cruise. The good was fresh and very good.the pineapple dip was excellent and of course the sweet potatoes . The music was outstanding.
The man who pLayed and sang was really good. Beautiful voice.So as we cruised we enjoyed his singing. We would have bought a CD of his music but he said he said he hoped to have or ready before Chtidtmss

Preschool teen daughter and myself had a delightful night. Enjoyed the show. Food was great. Entertainment was non stop. Would go again!

Fortunately, according to the guide, we saw the most dolphins recently. We were able to see dozens of dolphins and even swim alongside them. The experienced guide would find the dolphins and maneuver the boat to the best spots for encounters, and participants would jump into the sea as instructed. The guide was also very kind, making it enjoyable even for those who were alone.

運良くですがガイドさん曰く最近では一番よくかつ多くのイルカを見られました。何十頭ものイルカを見られ、並んで泳ぐこともできました。熟練のガイドさんでイルカを見つけては一番遭遇できる場所まで小回りの効く船で先回りして、参加者は指示どおり海に飛び込むという感じです。ガイドさんもとても親切で一人でも楽しめました。

We stayed on Oahu and the Big Island for our honeymoon, and it became the best memory of all. First of all, the clarity of the ocean is just amazing. A pod of dolphins swims gracefully through the water, filling the air with their adorable sounds. I was completely healed by the sight of a baby dolphin jumping while wagging its tail! It seems like there are manta ray tours at night as well, so I want to participate in both next time.

ハネムーンでオアフ島、ハワイ島と滞在しましたが、全てにおいて1番の思い出になりました。
まず、なんといっても海の透明度。
そのなかを優雅に泳ぐイルカの群れ。
たくさんの可愛らしい鳴き声。
赤ちゃんイルカがしっぽをフリフリしながらジャンプするしぐさに、癒されまくりました！夜はマンタツアーもやってるみたいなので、次は両方参加したいなぁ。

We were a group of three with 2 of us never before in a heli.
Thanks to a gr8 pilot we experienced an adventure we will never forget.
Spectacular views and the heat of streaming lava.
If you can afford it do it, we will come back that's for sure.

First of all, I was impressed by the transparent and beautiful blue sea. Lucky for us, just as we left the port, we discovered a pod of dolphins swimming with their dorsal fins out of the water. We even spotted some dolphins jumping. I was able to enter the water about four times, aiming for the route the dolphins were taking. The wetsuit keeps you afloat without any effort, but if you're feeling anxious, it's a good idea to use a floatation device. I think we borrowed floatation devices for about three people this time.

During the first time in the water, I wasn't quite used to the sea yet, so I was a bit slow to put my face in the water, and I barely managed to see the dolphins swimming far away. The second time, as soon as I got in the water and put my face down, I was able to see a mother and baby dolphin swimming slowly right below me. I could also hear their cute squeaking sounds. After that, I got more comfortable in the water and was able to enjoy the sunlight filtering through the water and the sight of many dolphins swimming around me.

At the end, Daisuke, who was driving the boat, insisted that he wanted to get in the water! He switched places with Jesse and jumped in, swimming like a dolphin. I couldn't help but wonder if Daisuke was actually a dolphin (laughs).

Jesse, who also provided transportation, didn't look Japanese at all, but he spoke Japanese very well, and I was able to hear a lot of stories beyond just dolphins, which made it really enjoyable. Thank you very much!

まず最初、透明で美しい青い海に感動しました。
ラッキーなことに港を出てすぐに、背びれを出して泳いでいるイルカの群れを発見しました。
そのうちジャンプするイルカも発見。
イルカが進行してくるルートをねらって、4回ほど海に入らせてもらえました。
ウェットスーツは何もしなくても浮くのですが、不安な人は遠慮なく浮き具をもらうといいです。
今回は3人ほど浮き具を貸してもらっていたと思います。
1回目はちょっとまだ海に慣れてなかったので、顔を水に付けるタイミングが遅れて、遠くに泳いでいるイルカをなんとか見れたという感じでした。
2回目は、海に入ってすぐ顔をつけると、真下をゆっくり泳いでいく親子のイルカを見られました。
キューキューというかわいい声も聞けました。
それ以降は水に慣れてきて、海中を差し込む太陽光とたくさんのイルカの泳ぐ姿を余裕をもって見ることができました。
最後は船を運転していたダイスケさんが、どうしても海に入りたい！と言って、ジェシーさんに運転をチェンジして、海に入るとイルカみたいに泳いでました。
ダイスケさんはイルカなのかな？と思ってしまいました(笑)

送迎もしてくださったジェシーさんは全く日本人には見えませんが、日本語が大変上手くてイルカ以外の話もたくさん聞くことができ、とても楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました！

Unfortunately, I couldn't meet any sea turtles, but I was taken to a very beautiful sea. I had a happy time surrounded by colorful fish. The lunch was also very delicious, and I was able to fully enjoy it. The dive from the boat was exciting and left a lasting impression.

残念ながらウミガメには会えませんでしたが、とてもきれいな海につれていってくれます。
色とりどりの魚たちにかこまれて幸せな時間でした。
ランチもとてもおいしく、満喫することができました。
船からのダイブもエキサイティングで印象に残りました。

We had an amazing time, this was our favorite excursion while in Hawaii this trip. Next time that we visit it will be a do over! The snorkeling was great and the crew was super! If you are looking for a great outing I would encourage you to go out and spend a day with these guys and enjoy snorkeling

The staff were very knowledgeable about the dolphins and spoke Japanese very well. They explained how to behave to see the dolphins better, and I was able to see many of them. Additionally, they frequently checked in with everyone to see if we were able to see the dolphins and if we were enjoying ourselves. Even for someone like me who isn't a strong swimmer, I felt safe and had a great time. I highly recommend it.

スタッフの方がイルカのことをよく知り、また日本語がとても上手で、どのように行動すればイルカがよく見れるか説明してくれ、たくさん見れました。
さらにイルカがみれたか、楽しんでいるか、皆にこまめに声をかけてくれ、泳ぎが苦手な私でも、安心して楽しめました。
おすすめです。

My wife and I are from China. This tour was so amazing. We saw so many great views from the sky.

I visited the Big Island of Hawaii for the first time. I was able to relax. My daughter went up on stage and imitated the hula. I was able to relax.

初めて訪れた、ハワイ島。のんびりできました。娘が壇上に上がってフラを真似しました。のんびりできました。

素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました。来年必ず戻ってきます！！

Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience.
I'll definately be back next year!!

My family and I enjoyed the boat ride. The staff was amazing and the scenery was beautiful in the water. Would definitely go again!

The weather was favorable and it was a sunny day. The flow of the experience included: checking in for the helicopter, receiving guidance, finding the dress room, listening to the explanation from the staff in the room behind the reception, announcement of seat assignments by group, walking to the helipad, and putting on headphones and life vests. I would have liked to have a paper with a written flow and a map. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you very much. For those who might get motion sickness, it's better to take medication.

天候に恵まれて晴天。ヘリの受付⇒案内⇒ドレスルームの場所⇒受付裏のへやで案内係員の説明
⇒グループごとに座席指定の発表⇒ヘリポートまで歩く⇒ヘットフォン・救命胴衣等の装着・・・と流れを書いたり、地図を記載したペーパーがほしかった。
すてきな経験でした。ありがとうございました。乗り物酔いしそうな人は薬対応された方がよいです。

No trip to Hawaii complete without the luau. The girls were great, the guys were great and the host was the best. The meal was top notch and there was poi. The open bar didn't stay open long enough though in my opinion. Otherwise a great experience. Must see.

We participated with our elementary school-aged children. My wife and kids were a bit unsure about snorkeling in the open ocean for the first time, but thanks to our Japanese guide Daisuke, the whole family was able to enjoy it. We are very grateful. Although there were no prescription masks for the kids, we were still able to see dolphins without glasses (they were that close). When I asked the kids about their favorite memory in Hawaii, they said it was meeting the dolphins on this tour. We would love to use this service again if we have the opportunity.

小学校の低学年、高学年を連れての参加。妻と子供達は、外洋での初めてのシュノーケルに自信がなかったようですが、日本語ガイドのダイスケさんのおかげで、家族全員が楽しむことができました。感謝しています。子供用の度付きマスクの準備はありませんが、裸眼でもイルカを見ることができました（それだけイルカたちとの距離が近い）。子供達にハワイで一番楽しかった想い出を聞くと、このツアーでイルカと会えたことだそうです。また機会があれば利用したいと思います。

The Japanese guide, Daisuke, who came to pick us up, was very friendly and wonderful, making the bus ride enjoyable from the start. We were really surprised by how many dolphins we encountered right from the beginning. There are many dolphin tours available, but I'm really glad I participated in this one. If you want to swim with dolphins on the Big Island, I definitely recommend this tour. I want to join again, so I will work hard to save money and go back once I can dive.

迎えに来て下さった日本語ガイドのダイスケさんが、とても気さくで素敵な方で、行きのバスから楽しめました。そしてイルカちゃんは、本当にびっくりするくらい初めから、沢山出会えました。
イルカツアーは沢山ありますが、このツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。ハワイ島でイルカと泳ぎたい方は、是非このツアーをおすすめします。私ももう一回参加したいので、頑張ってお金をためて、潜れるようになってからまたいきたいです。

Seeing dozens of dolphins under the blue sky... this tour became a lifelong memory. I would love to participate again if I go to the Big Island.

Even if you're not confident in swimming, you can easily join alone. The members when I participated were a group of three women on a trip, a newlywed couple, a husband and wife, and a solo foreign traveler. Everyone was full of energy, and while we were on the water, they would smile and ask, "Did you see the dolphins? There was a baby dolphin too!" It made me really happy to share the excitement even as a solo traveler.

And the guide was wonderful. They loved dolphins and seemed happier than anyone else on the tour, which made it so much fun to be around. It was truly an enjoyable tour. I highly recommend it. Thank you so much to the guide, the staff, and all the members.

何十頭のイルカと青い空…このツアーは一生の思い出になりました。
ハワイ島に行ったらまた参加したいです。

泳ぎに自信がなくても、一人でも、気軽に参加できます。
私が参加したときのメンバーは女子旅3人組、新婚カップル、ご夫婦、おひとり様外国人でした。
エネルギーのある方ばかりで、海の上では「イルカ見ました？子どものイルカもいましたよね！」と笑顔で話しかけてくださり、ひとりでも感動を共有できることができて、本当に嬉しかったです。
そしてガイドさんが素敵な方です。
イルカが大好きで、誰よりもこのツアーを楽しんでいるのではと思うぐらいハッピーで、一緒にいてとても楽しくなりました。
本当に楽しいツアーです。おすすめです。
ガイドさん、スタッフの皆さん、そしてメンバーの皆さん、本当にありがとうございました。

I tried upgrading my seat. It was in the center of the second row, making it easy to see. I was able to get my food quickly. The variety of dances from Polynesia, Tahiti, and Fiji was wonderful! (*^^*)

アップグレードしてみました
席は二列目の中央で見やすく
お料理を早く取りに行けました
ポリネシアやタヒチやフィージーの踊りなどバラエティに富んでいました(*^^*)

I had the chance to meet dolphins for the first time. We sped ahead of a pod of dolphins on a thrilling boat ride! When we jumped into the water at the guide's timing, we got up close to a friendly family of dolphins, and we could even hear their cute voices underwater.

Don't miss the graceful swimming of our guide, Daisuke. He also shares his love for wild dolphins and his own dreams. If you're worried about seasickness, I recommend taking medication before boarding.

初めての参加でイルカに会えました。スリル満点のボートでイルカの群れに先回り！ガイドさんのタイミングで海に飛び込むと仲良く泳ぐイルカ家族に最接近、水の中ではかわいいイルカの声も聴けました。
ガイドのDAISUKEさんの華麗な泳ぎにも注目です。野生イルカへの愛情と自身の夢も語ってもらえます。船酔いが心配な方は乗船前に服薬をおススメします。

Unlike the hotel luau in Honolulu, this one is more intimate. As a result of upgrading my seat, I ended up in a front-row seat near the stage. I was able to enjoy a powerful performance. However, even without the upgrade, the scale is sufficient to have a great time. Before the show started, there were activities in the plaza such as tattoo printing services, hula dance lessons, and a whole roasted pig, which were all fun to participate in. The food was decent, but the drinks were all-you-can-drink. Whenever I go to Hawaii, I participate in a luau, and I really enjoyed this hotel's luau. The hotel luau in Honolulu has many performers and is quite impressive, but this one offers a local atmosphere of the Big Island. I highly recommend it.

ホノルルのホテルルアウと違い、こじんまりとしています。アップグレードの席にした結果、ステージの前の席になりました。迫力あるステージを楽しめました。ただアップグレードしなくてもじゅぶん楽しめる規模です。ショーが始まる前の広場ではタトゥーのプリントサービスやフラダンスのレクチャー、豚の丸焼きなど参加できるものがあり楽しかったです。食事はまあまあですが、飲み物は飲み放題でした。私はハワイに行ったときはルアウに参加するのですが、このホテルのルアウは楽しめました。ホノルルのホテルルアウは出演者も多くそれなりに迫力があり楽しめますが、ハワイ島のローカルな雰囲気が楽しめます。ぜひおすすめです。
