I participated in an afternoon cruise! The snorkeling spot, Kealakekua Bay, was truly beautiful, and I was amazed to see colorful tropical fish clearly in the water!

During the cruise, we were lucky enough to encounter wild whales, and everyone on board was excited. I’m thinking about joining a morning tour next time!

When we arrived at Kealakekua Bay on a perfectly clear day with not a cloud in the sky, we were able to take in the breathtaking natural scenery. While snorkeling, we could clearly see tropical fish and coral reefs. After coming out of the water, the staff had prepared lunch for us, and enjoying BBQ under the blue Hawaiian sky was exceptional!

I had a great time snorkeling! The water was really clear, and I could see the tropical fish and coral reefs well. The weather was nice, and the water temperature seemed high, so I was able to swim comfortably.

The cruise on the Fair Wind was also pleasant, and we encountered dolphins along the way. I think Kealakekua Bay is a wonderful spot!

The cruise on the Fair Wind was very comfortable, and above all, the Hawaiian breeze was incredibly pleasant! At the first snorkeling spot, we were able to enjoy it just by ourselves, which was delightful. After that, at the Captain Cook snorkeling spot, we were able to see many marine creatures, including tropical fish! The lunch was delicious, and it was a wonderful tour.

フェアウィンド号でのクルーズはとても快適で、なんといってもハワイの風がとても心地よかったです！

I'm glad I was able to participate! It was a tour that made me feel that way.

There were many participants that day, and we all enjoyed ourselves in a friendly atmosphere.

When I dove into the sea and saw the manta rays, I was a bit nervous, but I quickly started to enjoy the night sea scenery. I think this experience is quite rare! The manta rays were friendly, and it was a wonderful snorkeling cruise.

参加できてよかった！と思えるツアーでした。
この日は参加者も多くみんなでわきあいあいで楽しめました。

海にもぐってマンタをみたときは若干緊張しましたが、すぐに夜の海の景色を楽しむ事ができました。この経験はなかなかできるものじゃないと思います！マンタも人懐っこくて、すばらしいシュノーケリング・クルーズでした。

Swim with wild mantas on the Big Island! I participated in a night snorkeling cruise!

I was surprised to see a manta right next to me as soon as I dove in! At first, I was amazed by the incredible sight, but I gradually got used to it and was really able to enjoy myself.

The guide was kind, and it was a comfortable diving experience. I want to join again soon!

ハワイ島 野生のマンタと泳ぐ！ナイトシュノーケリング・クルーズに参加しました！

もぐったらすぐ近くにマンタがいてびっくりしました！
大迫力の光景に最初は驚いてばかりでしたが、だんだん慣れてきてほんとうに楽しむ事ができました。

ガイドさんも優しくて快適なダイビングでした。またすぐにでも参加したいです！！

This was the number one dive experience I've ever had! The beautiful waters of Hawaii, and encountering such large mantas made for an amazing tour.

Especially the mantas swimming in the night sea were truly graceful and had a very magical feel! I believe this is a tour that you could never get tired of, no matter how many times you participate! I definitely want to join again when I come back to Hawaii.

いままで体験した中で、ナンバー１のダイブでした！ハワイの綺麗な海はもちろんのこと、あんなに大きいマンタに出会えるなんて最高のツアーです。

特に夜の海を泳ぐマンタはほんとうに優雅で、とても幻想的な感じでした！
きっと何度参加しても飽きないツアーだと思います！ぜひまたハワイに来たときは参加したいです。

Diving from the boat, I was able to see a truly beautiful sea with coral and many fish. When a manta ray approached from such a stunning ocean, I was incredibly excited. It came very close, and I felt it was worth participating in this experience!

There's no doubt that I will have an experience to brag about when I get back!

船からダイブするとほんとにきれいな海で、サンゴやたくさんの魚を見ることが出来ました。
そんな海からマンタが近づいてきたときはすごく興奮してしまいました。とても近くまで来てくれ参加したかいがあったなと思いました！

帰ってみんなに自慢できるような体験が出来ること間違い無しです！！

I had an amazing experience. If there had been a tour like this earlier, I would have wanted to join much sooner!

It was a very comfortable tour, and the captain was a fun person, making for a truly wonderful time.

Above all, encountering the manta rays was impressive, and I was really moved. I want to bring my family along next time!

すごいいい体験をさせてもらいました。
こんなツアーがあるならもっと前から参加したかった！！

すごく快適なツアーで船長さんも楽しい人でとてもすばらしい時間を過ごせました。

なによりもマンタに出会えたことが印象的で、本当に感動しました。
こんどまた家族を連れて参加したいと思っています！！

Swimming with wild manta rays! I participated in a night snorkeling cruise.

I was nervous since it was my first night dive, but the ocean at night was incredibly beautiful. On top of that, being able to see such large manta rays made it an unforgettable experience.

I think this tour is a must for anyone wanting to fully enjoy the waters of Hawaii!

野生のマンタと泳ぐ！ナイトシュノーケリング・クルーズに参加しました。

初めてのナイトダイブで緊張しましたが、夜の海はすごく綺麗でした。それに加えてあんなに大きなマンタを見る事ができて、忘れられない体験になりました。

ハワイの海を満喫したいという方には欠かせないツアーだと思います！

I had a precious experience swimming with manta rays in the ocean of Hawaii!

On this day, I was able to swim with about six manta rays! They came really close, and it felt like we were swimming together.

Next time, I want to bring my friends along to join!

ハワイの海でマンタと泳ぐことが出来て貴重な経験をさせてもらいました！

この日は6匹くらいのマンタとおよぐことができました！すごく近くまで来てくれて一緒に泳いでる感たっぷりでした。

今度はまた友達を連れて参加したいです。

It was really interesting!
You can't have this kind of experience anywhere else!
The manta rays gathered around, and they were really friendly. I was excited the whole time.

After the tour ended, my friends and I were chatting excitedly! I want to participate again with everyone!

すごくおもしろかった！
実際こんな経験ほかではできません！
マンタがいっぱい集まってきて、ほんと人懐っこかったです。ずっと興奮しっぱなしでした。

ツアーが終わったあとも友達とわいわい話していました！またみんなで参加したいです！

The manta rays at night were quite impressive! I had only seen them on TV, but they come so close. I was surprised!!

The manta rays were amazing, but the night dive itself was quite mystical. The guide was very kind, and it really feels like it will become an unforgettable memory!

夜のマンタなかなか迫力ありました！
テレビとかでしか見たことなかったけどこんなに近づいてくるんですね。びっくりしました！！

マンタもすごいけど夜のダイブ自体なかなか神秘的でしたよ。ガイドさんもすごくやさしかったし、ほんとに忘れられない思い出になりそうです！

It was an amazing experience! I never thought I would see manta rays up close like this. At first, I was a bit scared, but I quickly got used to it and really enjoyed it! I was so caught up in swimming that time just flew by. I wanted to swim more!!

If I have the chance again, I would love to participate. I don't think I would ever get tired of it!

すごい体験でした！
こんなに近くでマンタを見られるとは思いませんでした。
最初は若干怖かったけど、すぐになれてほんとに楽しめました！
夢中になって泳いでたら、すぐに時間が過ぎてしまいました。もっと泳ぎたかった~！！

また機会があれば参加したいです。何度経験しても飽きないと思いますよー。

This was the best activity of our trip, and we did everything we could in two weeks! I wish we could have done this every day on every island. This is so appropriate for even small children - and even us old ones!

I was thrilled to see manta rays up close after a long time. My friend was shouting, "An alien is coming at us!" I highly recommend it.

マンタを身近に見れて久々ゾクゾクしました。ツレは「エイリアンが迫ってきた！」と騒いでました。お奨めですよ。

Overall the tour was enjoyable, but it could have been better. The driver forgot to pick me up at my hotel and I had to call to remind them. The driver/guide gave a great deal of information about everthing, so much so that the constant talk became a blur after a while. The sights we saw were great for a first timer to the island, but if I were to come back, I would stay on the west coast and drive over to see the volcano.

In mid-March, my husband and I participated in a night manta snorkeling and diving tour departing from Kerama Islands. The sight of the mantas gracefully swimming, attracted by the blue light and plankton, was incredibly beautiful, and it gradually felt like we were flying in the sky. It felt like we were watching it on TV, but at one point, a manta came so close that we were worried it might bump into us! It was an amazing experience like no other—just incredible!

☆ It’s quite far from the hotel we stayed at, and there’s no shuttle service, so I think it would be convenient to stay at the Sheraton if you’re not using a rental car.
☆ After boarding, we arrived at the spot in about 10 minutes, and the boat didn’t rock too much.
☆ You can hold onto a floating pole, and since it rests against your legs and waist, I think even those who are not good at swimming will be fine.
★ Although we wore wetsuits, the water temperature was low, and gradually I lost feeling in my hands; it was so cold that by the end, it felt like a training session.
★ I managed to get by with mimicking others, but I didn’t understand the English explanations at all. Still, it was definitely worth it! I highly recommend it!

3月中旬 ケラホウベイから出発するナイトマンタシュノーケリング＆ダイブへ夫と２人で参加しました。ブルーライトとプランクトンに集まってくるマンタがとても優雅に泳いでいる姿はとても美しく、次第に空を飛んでいるような感覚になります。TVでも見ている気分でしたが、途中驚くほどマンタが近くにやってきたんです！ぶつかってしまうかもと心配するほど。今までにない素晴らしい体験、凄い!の一言です。

☆私たちが泊まったホテルからはとても遠く、送迎もないためため、レンタカーを使用しない方はシェラトンに泊まれば便利かなと思います
☆乗船し、10分ぐらいでポイントに到着、それほどユレは気になりません
☆棒状の浮に捕まり、棒状の浮を足や腰に当てるので泳ぎが苦手の方も大丈夫だと思います
★ウエットスーツは着るものの水温が低かったため、次第に手の感覚がなくなり、寒くて寒くて最後の方は修行のような気分に
★見よう見まねで何とかなりましたが、英語の説明がさっぱりわかりませんでした
　　それでもやって大正解!お勧めです！

The Snorkel Cruise was one of our top two activities. We very much enjoyed the cruise out to the Black Sand Beach. We saw some whales along the route. We enjoyed the snorkeling even more. This was our first ocean snorkeling cruise experience. We had snorkeled a little bit over the years but no where with as much color and marine life. Highly recommended whether you have snorkeled or not. The staff is very helpful and seem to enjoy their job. (if you can call that a job). Makes it a great experience. Very convenient launch from the Waikoloa Marriot. Very nice for us because that is where we stayed. Others were shuttled there and I am sure that was no problem either. Nice activity. Would do again.

If you're traveling to Hawaii, I think you should definitely experience this at least once. While water sports and shopping can be done in other places, shows like this are unique to Hawaii. Not only was there a language barrier, but all the procedures and arrangements were tailored for Americans, yet I still enjoyed it. I was satisfied with both the food and the show. It would have been nice if the leis and photos were included in the participation fee instead of having to pay for them on the spot, as I wanted to feel like I was receiving a gift.

ハワイに旅行に来たなら、一度は体験するといいと思います。ウォータースポーツや買い物は他の場所でもできますが、こういうショーはハワイ独特のものなので。言葉の問題だけでなく、すべての手続きやしきりがアメリカ人向けにできていましたが、楽しめました。お料理もショーも満足しました。価格を上げてもいいから、レイや写真はその場でお金を出して買うのでなく、参加費に含まれているとよかったです。プレゼントされる気分を味わいたかったので。

I participated in a night manta snorkeling and diving event at Keauhou Bay, which is about a 20-minute drive from Kailua-Kona. It's the only spot in the world where mantas gather. It seems that it's not very well-known in Japan, as I was the only Asian participant. There was no transportation provided, and of course, all the guides spoke English.

Even though it's always summer in Hawaii, it was still winter. By the end, I was shivering from the cold. On top of that, I felt quite seasick. A friendly British lady I got to know gave me a ride back. She was really nice!

I couldn't speak English well, and it had been 10 years since I last snorkeled. It was my first time in deep water, and at night! But somehow, I managed.

The mantas gather to feed on plankton attracted by the lights from the hotel. So, it turns out you can't see them on nights with a full moon. In the evening, we took a boat out to sea, shone lights on the water's surface, and waited for the mantas to gather before diving after sunset! That night, five mantas came to join us. The scuba team was below, and the snorkeling team was above. The mantas came right up to the surface of the water; it felt like they were about to bump into me.

The mantas seemed to be dancing, gliding through the water with grace. They had cute, round eyes and mouths like the character from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. It was a magical experience.

kaila konaから車で２０分位の所に有るkeauhou bayというとこで行われている、ナイトマンタシュノーケル＆ダイブに参加してきました。マンタが集まる世界で唯一のスポット。日本ではあまり知られていないらしく、参加者はアジア人は私一人。送迎も何もなく、もちろんガイドも全部英語。

常夏ハワイとはいえやっぱり冬。終えた頃には寒さで体がガタガタに震えてました。加えて波酔いもwかなりグロッキー。
仲良くなったイギリス人のおばちゃんに帰りは送ってもらいました。いい人w

英語ももちろん話せないし、シュノーケル自体も１０年ぶり、足の着かない所では始めて、しかも夜！！　ま、でも何とかなりました。

マンタはホテルの明かりに集まるプランクトンを食べに集まるそうです。なので？満月の夜は見られないとの事。
夕方ボートで沖に出てわずかの所に、ライトを海面に当て、マンタが集まるのを待ち、日が落ちてからダイブ開始！この日は５匹のマンタが集まってくれました。
スキューバチームは下から、シュノーケルチームは上から。
マンタは海面すれすれまで上がってきます。体にぶつかりそうでした。
マンタたちはまるで踊ってるかの様。水中を飛んでいます。優雅な舞です。
かわいいつぶらな目、風邪の谷のナウシカのキョシンヘイの様な口の中。
幻想的な時間でした。

I wavered back and forth with doing a helicopter ride since it is so expensive. My boyfriend and I went on the Falls and Fire tour, which was interesting. I am glad we did it, since much of the volcano viewing area was closed due to the fumes, but I wish we could have gone at night to see the lava flows better. It was a bit inconvenient for us due to the weather (we had to reschedule), luckily we could be a bit flexible. I would recommend a helicopter ride in Hawaii to anyone, since it is a unique experience and the views are phenomenal.

The large spotlight placed at the bottom of the water created an emerald green sea even in the surrounding darkness. With divers sitting on the seabed, bubbles were rising from below. Plankton were gathering in droves attracted by the light, and schools of fish were also gathering, creating a scene that was truly mystical and vibrant, reminiscent of a dragon palace! And the mantas dancing above the divers!

I heard there were twelve tonight, with some over 4 meters long, gracefully circling while feeding on plankton!

It was simply amazing. After a while, the mantas were drawn to our lights as well, coming right up to the light we were holding, spinning and showing their bellies just before touching it. They did this over and over again! Seeing a manta nearly 4 meters long swimming in front of me was an indescribable experience! I had always admired them, and to have one come so close (it felt like we might collide) was incredible!

I was screaming with my colleagues so loudly that even the divers on the seabed could hear us!

It was truly a wonderful experience. I still feel like I'm on the boat!

写真のようにでっかいスポットライトを水の底に入れてあるから、周りが真っ暗でもそこら一帯がエメラルドグリーンの海になってました。
ダイバーたちが海底に座っているからコポコポと泡が下から昇ってきて。
光につられてプランクトンが一杯集まっているから魚も群れ単位で集まっていて、まさに龍宮城って言えるくらい神秘的で華やかな光景でした！それにダイバーたちの上を踊るマンタたち!!
今夜は１２頭いたらしいのですが、大きいものでは４ｍ以上のもいて、踊るように回りながらプランクトンを食べてるんですよ!!

もぉ素晴らしい、の一言でした。
それからしばらくしたらうちら（シュノーケリングしてる人）の光にも誘われて、ホント手に持ってるライトの下まで来て、ライトを触るか触らないかの寸前にくるっとお腹を見せながら回転するんです。しかもそれを何回も何回も!!
目の前で４ｍ近いマンタがクルクルと泳ぐ姿はまさに感無量!!
憧れだったので、しかもこんなに近くに（ホントぶつかるかと思ったくらい近かったです）マンタが来るなんて!!
はぁ~~~海底にいたダイバーにまで聞こえるくらい仕事仲間とギャーギャー叫んでましたww

でもホント素晴らしい体験でした。
でもってまだ船の上にいる気分ですww

When I first entered the sea, I saw a manta ray up close!! Its big mouth was wide open, and the manta ray's head was really close to me, which was such a surprise!! However, in the next moment, it was swimming gracefully!

About 45 minutes later, 7 or 8 beautiful manta rays swam over to us. They were quite large, and I was amazed!

最初に海に入ったとき、マンタをすぐそばでみました！！
大きな口をあけてほんとにすぐそばにマンタの頭があって、すごくビックリしました！！
ですが、次の瞬間には優雅に泳いでいました！

残り45分くらいで7、8匹の美しいマンタが私達のところまで泳いできました。結構大きくてびっくりしました！

I participated in a snorkeling tour where I could meet manta rays!! The boat was large and very comfortable. The snorkeling equipment available for rent was well-equipped. They provided a video explaining the precautions before snorkeling.

I encountered a manta ray named Bersa, the largest one. I met other manta rays as well, but Bersa was very friendly and bumped into me several times!

It was the most beautiful experience I've ever had!!

マンタに会えるシュノーケリングツアーに参加しました！！
ボートは大きく、すごく快適でした。貸し出し用のシュノーケリング用具は充実していました。
シュノーケリング前にビデオで注意事項など説明してくれます。

バーサという一番大きいマンタに出会えました。ほかにもマンタに出会えましたが、バーサはすごくひとなつっこくて、なんどもぶつかってきました！

私が経験した中で一番美しい体験でした！！

I participated in the night snorkeling at Sea Paradise where I could swim with manta rays! I was able to see the large manta rays that eat plankton. I had no idea there were tours that offered such a beautiful and wonderful experience!

One time wasn't enough, so even though it was my last day, I booked the shallow scuba diving again. It was, of course, amazing!! When I returned to the boat, a pod of dolphins was waiting for us. One of them kicked my foot! There were about 20 dolphins around the boat, so I jumped into the sea. They swam away quickly, but I think I swam with the boat for about 5 minutes.

If you want to experience snorkeling and scuba diving, you should definitely join the tour at Sea Paradise in Kailua-Kona!!

シーパラダイスのマンタと泳げるナイトシュノーケリングに参加しました！プランクトンを食べる大きなマンタを見ることが出来ました。
こんなにきれいですばらしい体験ができるツアーがあるなんでぜんぜん知りませんでした！

一回じゃ物足りなかったので、最終日でしたが浅瀬のスキューバダイビングをもう一度予約してしまいました。もちろん素晴らしかったです！！
ボートに戻るとイルカの群れが待っていました。そのうちの一匹が私の足を蹴ってきました！ボートの周りには２０匹ほどのイルカがいたので、海に飛び込みました。すぐにいってしまったのですが、5分くらいはボートと一緒に泳いでいたと思います。

シュノーケリングとスキューバダイビングを体験したいならカイルアコナのシーパラダイスのツアーに参加すべきです！！
