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＞

You have plenty of time. Make sure to prepare well with motion sickness medication and measures against the cold. 時間たっぷりあります。酔い止め・寒さ対策など準備はしっかりと～

Reviewed by: たまこ

I stayed at the King Kamehameha Hotel right in front of Kailua Pier, so it was easy to walk there for the 7:30 AM meeting. Once on the boat, there was a buffet area with bread and fruit, and coffee and water were also available for free.

After about 40 to 50 minutes of traveling along the bay, they provided explanations about various buildings and scenery, all in English. I just enjoyed the atmosphere. The Kanoa II is a large catamaran, but the swaying in the open sea was quite significant. There were about 40 passengers, and it seemed that around 20% of them looked a bit green. I recommend taking motion sickness medication about an hour before boarding.

When we arrived at the snorkeling point, all passengers were gathered on the first floor for about 10 minutes of safety instructions, also in English. They mentioned that in case of an emergency, the horn would sound five times, so we should return to the boat immediately, not to stand on the coral, and not to stray too far from the boat. I think as long as you don't act too differently from those around you, you'll be fine. The snorkeling point is about 15 meters deep and incredibly clear and beautiful. There are quite a few fish, but the water is cold! They seem to rent out wetsuits for a fee, so if you're not confident, it might be a good idea to borrow one. I gave up after about 20 minutes of swimming due to the cold and the waves, and returned to the boat early. The boat stays here for about an hour, and it might be tough for those who are sensitive to motion.

For lunch, the staff grilled hamburgers and vegetables on the spot, and you can make your own cheeseburger at the buffet. It was quite delicious! If you're not feeling seasick, definitely give it a try (laughs).

On the way back, it takes about another hour to return to Kailua Pier.

The boat is large and has a flushing toilet, which someone mentioned is much cleaner than many public restrooms. There’s a bar area, and soft drinks seem to be free. The staff comes around to each table to ask if you need any drinks. Smoothies and cocktails appear to be for a fee.

Among the participants, we were the only Japanese, but the handsome and beautiful staff frequently checked on us, so we were able to relax without worry. The sea water is cold, but the wind on the way back is also quite chilly. If you're in a wet swimsuit, you're bound to catch a cold. I recommend bringing something to wear over it, like a windbreaker.

カイルア桟橋の目の前のキングカメハメハホテルに泊まっていたので、朝7時半の集合も何の苦もなく歩いて行けました。
船に乗り込むと、ビュッフェコーナーにパンとフルーツが置いてあり、コーヒーやお水も含め、取り放題です。
出発して40分～50分ほど、湾に沿って移動をし、その間いろんな建造物や風景の説明をしてくれるのですが、すべて英語です。雰囲気だけ楽しみました。
カノアII号は大きな双頭船ですが、外洋の揺れはかなり大きく、乗客は40名ほどいたでしょうか、そのうち2割ほどはグロッキーになっていたように見えました。乗船する1時間ほど前には酔い止めをしっかり飲んで参加されることをお勧めします。

シュノーケリングポイントに着くと、乗客全員が1階に集められ、注意事項の説明が10分ほどあります。これもすべて英語です。
緊急の時はホーンを5回鳴らすからすぐに船に戻ってね、サンゴの上には立たないでね、船からあまり離れないでね、後いろいろ言ってたと思うのですが、まぁ周りの人とあまり異なる行動をしなければOKかと思います。
シュノーケリングポイントは、深さ15メートルぐらいあるでしょうか。さすがに澄んでいてとてもキレイです。お魚もそこそこいます。ただ、水が冷たい！！
有料でウェットスーツも貸し出しているようなので、自信のない方は借りた方がいいかも。私も20分ほど泳いで寒さと波の高さにギブアップです。早々に船に引き上げました。
船はここで1時間ほど停泊しています。ずっと揺れてますのでつらい人にはつらいかも。

ランチはスタッフがその場で焼いてくれたハンバーグや野菜がビュッフェコーナーに並び、自分でチーズバーガーを作って食べます。かなり美味しかったですよ！酔ってなければぜひ召し上がってください（笑）。

そして帰りはまた小一時間ほどかけてカイルア桟橋に戻る感じです。

船は大きくてトイレも水洗、どなたかが書いていましたがそんじょそこらのトイレよりよっぽどキレイです。
バーコーナーがあって、ソフトドリンクは無料のようです。スタッフが各テーブルを回って飲み物いらないか？と聞きに来てくれます。スムージーやカクテルは有料のようです。

参加者のうち、日本人は私達だけでしたが、美男美女のスタッフがしょっちゅう様子を見に来てくれるので、気にせず過ごせました。
海の水も冷たいですが、行き帰りの風もかなり寒いです。濡れたままの水着だと漏れなく風邪をひきそうです。ウィンドブレーカーなど、上に羽織るものを持参される事をお勧めします。

Waikoloa Kohala Sunset Whale Watching Cruise with Open Bar - Ocean Sports [Dec - Mar]

Great Cruise makes for Perfect Evening

Reviewed by: Michael D

We were picked up from our resort hotel at the Hilton Waikoloa. This was the only sunset whale watch cruise I could find that was actually in Kohala (why go back down to Kona when you're staying in Kohala?), and we were not disappointed.

The pupus were solid and kept us full enough to grab a late dinner after. The drinks were plentiful with lots of choices. Best of all, the skipper knew what he was doing and found us some whales and dolphins. He even got the dolphins to swim alongside/under the boat, which was a truly unique experience to lie on the net, a couple feet above a family of dolphins swimming full speed.

I know they cannot control the animals or the weather, but we lucked out on both fronts. Would recommend!

I was able to fully enjoy nature. 自然を満喫できました

Reviewed by: アイクミ

The morning cruise was wonderful, blessed with great weather. A rainbow appeared, the sky was beautiful, and it felt great just to see people doing yoga on the beach or taking a walk. Once we headed out, we saw whales swimming in the ocean everywhere.

These are completely wild whales, right? I felt like I was in the great outdoors and lost track of time. The boat rocked quite a bit, so I couldn't take photos myself, but there was someone on board with a high-performance camera with a telephoto lens who captured some amazing shots. Everyone got the data from that person and we excitedly talked as if we had taken the photos ourselves.

The cruise also included drinks and light snacks, making it a very satisfying experience.

朝のクルーズは、天気に恵まれて、素晴らしいものでした。虹が出て、空の景色は良いし、浜辺ではヨガをやる人達がいたり、散歩するだけでも気持ち良かったです。さて、沖へ出て、海を泳ぐクジラがあちこちに居ました。
これって、完全に野生の鯨ですよね。なんか、大自然の中にいるんだ！という感覚になって、時間を忘れました。けっこう船が揺れたので、自分では写真は撮れませんでしたが、同乗してた人の中にかなり高性能の望遠レンズ付きカメラを持ってた人が、素晴らしいショットを取っていて、みんなその人からデータを貰って、あたかも自分が撮ったみたいな話をして盛り上がりました。
飲み物や軽食も付いていて、とても満足なクルーズでした。

This time, I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon and booked this tour. It was an experience beyond my imagination. It was so wonderful that I forgot to take pictures. Wild dolphins swam around us, performing three flips, and it was so mystical and amazing that I thought I was dreaming. Our guide, Daisuke, and the captain were perfectly in sync, and they were incredibly knowledgeable about the ecosystem, providing detailed explanations to all our questions. They took us to the best spots to see the dolphins, and coincidentally, there were whales nearby that day, so we got to see not only dolphins but also whales. It was truly the best experience. I definitely want to participate again.

今回はハネムーンでハワイに行き、このツアーを予約させていただきました。
想像以上に素晴らしい体験ができました。
素晴らしすぎて写真を撮るのを忘れてしまいました。
野性のイルカが何頭も私達の周りを泳ぎ、3回転ジャンプをして見せてくれたり、これは夢なのかと思うくらい神秘的で素晴らしかったです。

Morning Cruise - saw multiple whales

Reviewed by: Jonathan Smits

Because it was a morning cruise, they made good on sighting whales. There were multiple sightings. The amount of time on the boat was good, because after the sightings, I could actually relax and just enjoy the rest of the boat ride. The refreshments were tremendous. The crew was very generous and informative. I know the crew couldn't get as close as I would have liked, because of regulations, but I sure would have liked to have closer pictures and more majestic surfacings. But, overall we were happy with the cruise.

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　 レジェンズ・オブ・ハワイ（ヒルトンワイコロアビレッジ）＜日・火・金催行／ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題＞

It was fun!! 楽しかった！！

Reviewed by: けんけん号

I lined up a little earlier than the scheduled time and was the third group. As time passed, more and more people lined up. Since entry is based on the order of arrival, I think it's best to line up early if you want a better seat.

After checking in, you have to wait before entering the venue. Check-in is at 5 PM, and the doors open at 5:30 PM, so you will wait for about 30 minutes.

First, you receive a welcome drink and are shown to your seat. Once seated, you are free to enjoy, but the food is only for children. There is a place where you can enjoy temporary tattoos and small items, and while you're having fun there, the food for adults will become available.

Even before the main show starts, there are songs and dances on stage, and music is always playing, so you can have a pleasant time.

As the sun sets and it gets somewhat dark, the main show begins. There are classic fire shows and hula dances. Since my seat was a bit far, I think it's better to choose a higher seat if you're looking for a more intense experience.

Additionally, from 8 AM on the day of the event, you can watch the preparation of a whole roasted pig. This is also quite impressive, so I recommend seeing that as well.

時間よりちょっと早めに並んだら、3組目でした。時間を過ぎるとどんどん並んで…。並んだ順に案内なので、少しでもよい席がよかったら、早めに並ぶといいと思います。
受付のあと、会場に入るまで待たされます。17時に受付、17時30分開場なので、30分ほど待ちます。
まずウエルカムドリンクをもらい、席に案内されます。席に着いたらあとは自由ですが、食べ物は子ども用しかありません。洗うと落ちるタトゥーや小物売り場があるので、そこで楽しんでたら大人用の食べ物がオープンになります。

メインのショーが始まるまでも、舞台では歌やダンスがあったり、常に音楽が流れてるので、心地よい時間を過ごすことができます。

日が落ちて、ある程度暗くなってくると、いよいよメインのショーです。定番のファイヤーショーやフラダンスです。少し席が遠かったので、迫力を求めるならば高い席にした方がよいと思います。

また、当日朝8時から、豚の丸焼きの準備を見ることができます。これもなかなか見ごたえがあるので、合わせて見ることを推薦します。

Reviewed by: ルアルアウ

The Hilton Hotel has a dedicated space for luaus. To get straight to the point, it’s not much different from luaus I've seen elsewhere, but the performances are unique to a family-friendly hotel. Right in front of the stage, there are mats set up for small children, along with plenty of cushions, allowing the kids to mimic the dancers and enjoy dancing along. It was very heartwarming. It was worth reserving the premium seats, as we were guided to the table right at the front. We were also able to get our food first. I was a bit hesitant before making the reservation, but I'm glad I went.

ヒルトンホテルにルアウ専用スペースが設けられてます。結論から先に行ってしまうと、他の場所で観たルアウショーとあまり違っていませんが、ファミリーが多いホテルならではの演出と、舞台すぐ目の前には小さいお子様用にマットがしかれており、多数のクッションが置いてあり、目の前で繰り広げられるダンスにお子様たちもダンサーのマネをして一緒に踊ったりして楽しんでいました。とても微笑ましかったです。プレミアムシートで予約した甲斐があり、テーブルの一番前の席に案内してもらえました。お料理も先に取りにいけました。予約前はちょっと迷っていたけれど、観に行ってよかったです。

A tour that changes your perspective on life. 人生観の変わるツアー

Reviewed by: あんでぃ

It had been since elementary school since I last entered the sea. Not even sure if I could swim, I bought a swimsuit and participated anyway. Before getting on the boat, I took motion sickness medication, applied sunscreen, and set sail with some anxiety.

However, the beautiful sea and sky that unfolded before me quickly blew away my worries.

Fortunately, I encountered dolphins at a reef where they only play when they're in a good mood. It was a wonderful experience. It was truly a playful interaction with the dolphins. They didn't just swim past me; I was surrounded by dozens of dolphins from all sides, even at my feet—it felt like a dream.

I dove three times. Even in the deep sea, I felt no fear when jumping in. I was surprisingly filled with excitement and anticipation.

I was also drawn to the personality of our guide, realizing that there are people who can live such wonderful lives. It made me reflect on the importance of being mindful of everything I choose to engage with. I expressed to my husband, who joined me, that I want to avoid things that harm nature or animals as much as possible. I decided to study nature more and see it up close.

Ah, if only I could swim better…! I definitely want to come back someday.

海に入るのは小学生ぶり。自分が泳げるかどうかも分からない状態で、取り敢えず水着だけ買って参加しました。
ボートに乗る前に、酔い止めを飲み、日焼け止めを塗り、不安を抱えながらも出港。
目の前に広がった美しい海と空に、不安は一気に吹き飛びました。

運良く、イルカさんがご機嫌な時しか遊ばないというリーフでイルカさんに遭遇。
素晴らしい体験をしてきました。
言葉通りイルカさんとの戯れ。群れが自分の周りを通り過ぎるなんてものではなかったです。
前後左右、足元にも数十頭のイルカさんに囲まれて、夢のようでした。
ダイブは3回。深い海でも、飛び込む際の怖さは一切なかったです。自分でもびっくりするくらいワクワクドキドキしかなかった。

ガイドさんの人間性にも惹かれ、こんなにステキな生き方ができる人もいるのだなぁと。
もっと、自分の手に取るもの一つ一つに意思を持たなくてはならないと考えさせられました。
自然を侵すものや、どうぶつへ痛みを与えるもの、なるべく避けて暮らしていきたいなと、まずは自然のことをもっと勉強してみよう、もっと間近に見に行ってみよう、と一緒に参加した主人と話をしました。

ああ、それにしてももっと、泳げたらなぁ…！

A highly satisfying tour. 大満足のツアー

Reviewed by: 家族連れ

This was my second time on a dolphin swimming tour in Hawaii, but the experience on the Big Island far surpassed my previous one. Following the guide's instructions, a pod of about 50 dolphins came close to us repeatedly. The location of the dolphins changes daily, and on the day we participated, the guide had confirmed in advance that they were near the harbor. Therefore, we didn't have to search for them by boat.

We encountered the dolphins shortly after departing from the harbor, allowing us to swim with them for a long time, even after other boats had left. I could clearly hear the dolphins' calls underwater.

Both the guide and the boat captain were very proficient in Japanese, so there was no language barrier. They provided wetsuits, fins, and masks, making it enjoyable even for those who are not confident swimmers. Our third grader had a great time as well.

I highly recommend this experience if you visit the Big Island.

ハワイでのイルカと泳ぐツアーは2回目でしたが、ここハワイ島での体験は前回の経験をはるかに凌駕する素晴らしいものでした。
ガイドさんの教えの通りにしていると、約50頭の群れが何度も何度も近くへ寄って来てくれました。毎日イルカのいる場所は変わるそうで、私たちが参加した日は、ハーバーから近いところにイルカがいることをガイドさんが事前に確認してくれていました。そのため、ボートでイルカを捜しまわることもありませんでした。
ハーバーを出港してあっという間にイルカに遭遇出来たため、そこから時間一杯まで、他のボートがいなくなってもたっぷりイルカと泳がせていただけました。イルカの鳴き声も水中でしっかり聞こえました。
ガイドさん、ボートのキャプテン共に日本語が大変お上手なため、言葉の心配はありませんし、ウェットスーツとフィン、マスクなど一式貸してもらえるので、泳ぎが苦手な方でも十分楽しめると思います。わが家の小学3年生も十分enjoyしていました。
ハワイ島を訪れた際には、ぜひ、経験されることをおすすめします。

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　ボイジャーズ・オブ・ザ・パシフィック（ロイヤルコナリゾート内）＜月・火・水・金催行／ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題／シェルレイ付＞

The main attraction is the fire dance. ファイヤーダンスがメイン

When I arrived just before the reception time, there was already quite a long line. There are reserved seats, and since I ended up in the back, I recommend arriving earlier if you want to sit closer to the front. The buffet food was tastier than I expected. Guests are guided in order from the front. It was very impressive to see the sunset over the ocean from my seat before the show started. The show features modern hula, traditional hula, Polynesian dance, and fire dance. There is a scene in the middle of the show to celebrate birthdays and honeymoons, so it might be good to let them know in advance. I felt that the talk between the dances was a bit long, and there seemed to be less dance time. I can't compare it to other luau shows, though... All the dancers were very beautiful. The fire dance was the highlight and very powerful. Children up to 5 years old were free. Overall, I was quite satisfied.

受付時間ギリギリに行ったら、もうすでにかなりの列ができていました。リザーブ席などもあり、後ろの方の席になってしまったので、少しでも前のいい席で見たい方は、受付時間よりも前に並んだ方がいいです。ブッフェの食事は思ったよりは美味しかったです。前から順番に案内されます。ショーが始まる前に、席から海に沈む夕日が見れたのがとても印象的でした。ショーは現代フラや古典フラ、ポリネシアンダンスやファイヤーダンスが見れます。ショーの途中でバースデーやハネムーンの人たちをお祝いするシーンがあるので、伝えておくといいのかも？と思いました。ダンスとダンスの間のトークが長くて、ダンス時間が少ないような気がしました。他のルアウショーとくらべていないので比較はできませんが…
ダンサーさんはみなさんとてもきれいな方たちでした。ファイヤーダンスが一番の見もので大迫力でした。
5歳までの子供は無料でした。全体的には、概ね満足です。

Waikoloa Glass Bottom Boat Scenic Cruise with Ocean Sports - Kids 5 Years Old and Under Ride Free!

Well worth the money!

The water is so clear we could see many different types of fish in the water. The captain was great at helping us spot turtles swimming on the side of the boat and would stop for us to see them. It was a lot of fun.

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＞

A man who loves dolphins and is loved by dolphins! Yes, he is—! イルカを愛し、イルカに愛された男！そう、彼こそはー！

Daisuke, our guide, was wonderful with his attentiveness.

The weather was drizzly and chilly, not typical for Hawaii, but we were able to see plenty of dolphins! We even got to see them jump, which was very satisfying.

I brought my iPhone in a waterproof case, but it didn't respond to swipes underwater. I was advised to start recording video on the boat, and when I tried that, it worked well.

While I was playing with the dolphins, I got a bit seasick (it's better to take motion sickness medication), but everyone was kind and helped me calm down.

According to Daisuke, "I am confident that we can get you closer to the dolphins than anyone else. If we couldn't see them, I believe other companies' boats wouldn't be able to either." His love for dolphins and constant attentiveness seem to help him know the best spots and share information with others.

If there’s a next time, I would definitely love to join again.

ガイド(インストラクター?)のダイスケさんの気配りが素晴らしかったです。

天候は小雨で肌寒くハワイらしくない日でしたが、イルカちゃん(ダイスケさん風)は沢山見れました！ジャンプ姿も見れて、大満足でした。

iPhoneを防水カバーに入れて持って行きましたが、海の中ではスワイプが反応しません。"船の上で動画を始めた状態にすると良いですよ"と言われたので実践したところ、上手くいきました^ ^

イルカたちと戯れている間、私は途中で波酔いしてしまいました(酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が良いです)が、皆さんが優しく対応して下さり気分を落ち着かせる事が出来ました。

ダイスケさん曰く、"どこよりも、イルカちゃんに会わせてあげる自信があります。僕たちがイルカちゃん達に会えなかったら、他の会社さんの船も絶対会えてないと思います。"との事。イルカを愛し、いつも気遣いをしているからこそ、遭遇ポイントも分かるし、他社の方々とも情報共有出来ているようです。

次回があれば、是非またご厄介になりたいと思います。
