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>

Authentic show 本格的なショー

Reviewed by: ちび

You will receive a voucher at the hotel's dedicated reception. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. However, it seems that even if you arrive early, you will be guided from the back, so you can't choose your seat. You will have a meal while watching the show. The food itself was just okay. When we went, there was a heavy rain that caused a temporary interruption, but it was a nice memory.

ホテルの専用受付で引換券をもらいます。
席は早い人順でした。ただ早く行っても奥から案内されるみたいなので席は選べないようです。
ショーを見ながら食事。食事自体はまぁまぁでした。
私たちが行った時は途中で大雨になり一旦中断となりましたが、いい思い出です。

Dear Chibi,
Thank you for visiting Island Breeze Luau.
Although the show took place in the rain, I am truly happy to hear that you made good memories.
Please come again. We look forward to welcoming you with Aloha.

ハワイ島 シュノーケルクルーズ SUP体験もできる充実ツアー!貸し切りプランあり<午前/朝食・昼食付き> by フラカイ号

Dolphins are really cute. イルカがとってもかわいい

Reviewed by: ちび

It was late March, but it was cold.
Aside from our group, there were couples and families of foreign tourists. (I always wonder why they are so resilient to the cold...)
It was too cold to swim much.
However, dolphins came very close to our small cruiser, and they were so cute. We were able to take pictures.
For lunch, we had grilled hamburgers on the boat. They were delicious.
Since we went with about 20 people, it might feel lonely to join alone if you don't speak English.

3月下旬でしたが寒かったです。
私たちグループ以外はカップルやファミリーの外国人観光客でした。(いつも思いますが彼らはなぜ寒さに強いんでしょう・・。)
寒くてあまり海には入りませんでした。
ただ、イルカがクルーザー(小さい)のすぐそばまできていて、とてもかわいかったです。写真も撮れました。
ランチは船上でグリルのハンバーガーを食べました。美味しかったです。
20人くらいで行くので、英語ができないと一人参加だとさみしいかもしれません。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We departed from the bay near the Sheraton. We went to the meeting place by rental car. The weather was very nice, and the sea was beautiful. Our family was the only Japanese group, but there were many participants, and it was full. There were many families participating. They quickly provided goggles with prescription lenses for those who are nearsighted. We were warned at the beginning not to wear fins until just before entering the water to avoid damaging the coral. Even if you can't swim well, they lend you life jackets and floaties, so you can enjoy without worry. On the way back, a video created by the crew of that day's activities is shown. This video was very well made. The crew only spoke English, but they were very friendly.

シェラトンのそばの湾から出発します。レンタカーで集合場所に行きました。とても天気がよく、海はとてもきれいでした。日本人は私たちの家族だけでしたが、参加者は多く、満員でした。家族での参加が多かったです。ゴーグルは近視でも度のはいったものをすぐかしてくれます。珊瑚を傷つけないように、フィンは海に入る直前まではいてはいけませんとはじめに注意されます。あまり泳げなくても、ライフジャケットと浮き輪をかしてくれるので、心配なく楽しめます。帰りの時間にクルーが作成したその日のビデオをが上映されます。このビデオはとても上手にとれていました。クルーは英語しかしゃべれませんが、とてもフレンドリーです。

ハワイ島 オーシャンラフティング&シュノーケルリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事付き>

Highly recommended for families with children! 子ども連れにオススメ!

Reviewed by: abby

The thrill and speed that you can't experience on a large ship are the biggest attractions of this activity. It was definitely the right choice for my high school freshman son! He was overjoyed by the boat's fast pace that felt like he might be thrown off.

A small girl about four years old also joined us on the boat, but she sat on the box in the middle, so there was no worry of falling into the sea due to the swaying, and she seemed to have a great time.

Below are some simple details and points that are useful to know in advance. Don't worry about the conversation being in English! Even just stringing words together will get your point across.

■ About reconfirmation
You need to reconfirm your reservation with Captain Zodiac by the day before. I’m not confident in my English, but I just said, "I have a reservation for tomorrow under the name ○○," and that was fine. They are used to it, so no worries!

■ About snorkeling
<When borrowing fins>
They will ask for your shoe size, so be ready to answer in American sizes. I wear 24 cm, but I requested "7" and borrowed fins sized "7-11." They fit perfectly.

<About prescription masks>
If you have poor eyesight, they will lend you a prescription mask. If it doesn't fit, you can get it exchanged.

<For those not confident in swimming>
They will lend you a floating vest.

<About the snorkeling point>
The sea in front of the Captain Cook Memorial is the snorkeling point. The visibility is good, and the water is clear. There aren't many types of fish, and the corals aren't particularly colorful. Yellow tangs are abundant in the shallow areas. First-timers will likely enjoy it. Since we are repeat visitors to the remote islands of Okinawa, we felt a bit unsatisfied with the underwater scenery, but our goal was to enjoy the atmosphere rather than the fish or corals, so we were satisfied.

When dolphins appear, they will take you by boat to see them. On land, you can see mongooses wandering around.

■ About the restroom
Once you go out to sea, there are no restrooms until you return to port. You need to handle this on your own.

■ For those who feel cold
When entering the sea, wear a long-sleeved rash guard. It can feel cool when the wind blows, so bringing a dry jacket is a good idea for reassurance.

■ The captain is a diving expert!!

大きな船では味わえないスリルとスピード感が、このアクティビティの最大の魅力です。
特に高1の息子には、これを選んで正解!
振り落とされそうなボートの疾走に大喜びでした。

4才くらいの小さな女の子も同船しましたが、ボートの真ん中のボックスの上に座りましたので、揺れで海に落ちる心配もなく、楽しそうでした。


以下に、簡単な内容と、事前に知っておくと便利な点を書きます。
尚、会話は英語のみですが心配無用!
単語を並べるだけでもこちらの言いたいことは通じます。

■リコンファームについて
前日までにキャプテンゾディアックに予約の再確認が必要です。
私は英語に自信がありませんが「明日予約している○○です」と伝えればOKでした。
先方も心得ておりますので大丈夫です!

■スノーケリングについて
<足ヒレを借りるとき>
足(靴)のサイズを聞かれますので、アメリカサイズで答えられるようにしましょう。
私は24cmですが、「7」とリクエストして「7~11」の足ヒレを借りました。ジャストサイズでした。

<度入りマスクについて>
目の悪い人は、度入りのマスクを貸してくれます。
合わない場合も、取り替えてもらえます。

<泳ぎに自信の無い人は>
フローティングベストを貸してくれます。

<スノーケルポイントの様子>
キャプテンクック記念碑前の海がスノーケルポイントです。
透明度は良く、視界良好です。
魚の種類はそれほど多くなく、サンゴも色とりどりというほどではありません。
キイロハギは、浅瀬にたくさんいます。
スノーケリングが初めての方は、喜ばれるでしょう。
私たちは沖縄の離島リピーターなので、海中には物足りなさを感じましたが、目的は魚や珊瑚ではなく雰囲気を楽しむことなので、満足です。

イルカが出現するとボートで見に連れて行ってくれます。
陸には、マングースがウロチョロしてます。


■トイレについて
一旦海へ出ると帰港するまで、トイレはありません。ご自身で要対処です。

■寒がりの方は
海に入る際は長袖のラッシュガードを。
風が吹くと涼しく感じますので、乾いた上着を持参すると安心です。


■キャプテンは潜水の達人!!

Hula Kai Kona First Class Snorkel Tour - 2 Snorkeling Stops, Breakfast & Lunch

What a day!

Reviewed by: Lianne

We absolutely loved our day on the Hula Kai! Before we even left the harbour we saw a monk seal and spinner dolphins. A few minutes out, we came upon a pod of pilot whales then a few minutes later, another. The snorkel locations were wonderful, the crew great. We've been to the island several times and this was definitely the best snorkel/scuba experience we've had!

ハワイ島 オーシャンラフティング&シュノーケルリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事付き>

I recommend it for those who are confident in their physical strength. 体力に自信のある方にオススメです

Reviewed by: ちょこれーと

I participated with my husband. There were about 15 participants in the tour, and we were the only Japanese guests. The guide was kind, but everything was in English, so I think I only understood about 20% since I can only speak basic English.

To give you a clearer image, we sat on the edge of a rubber boat with an engine, holding on only to a rope. The boat took us out to sea at quite a speed, swaying a lot, which was quite thrilling. I heard that some people have even fallen into the sea before.

Along the way, we encountered a pod of dolphins several times. We went to Kealakekua Bay and enjoyed snorkeling. The seawater was a bit cold, but it was very clear, and we saw a lot of fish, making for a very satisfying snorkeling experience. During a break from snorkeling, we had lunch on the board, including sandwiches. On the way back, we viewed the lava caves from the sea side. I had thought we would go inside the lava caves, so I was a bit disappointed.

Overall, I was satisfied, but you really need to hold on tightly to the boat's rope at all times, or you might get thrown off, so I wouldn't recommend it for small children or elderly people.

Also, sunscreen is absolutely necessary. In my case, I applied it well on my body and had makeup on my face, but I think I got burned while snorkeling. I didn't apply any on my head, but the part in my hair turned bright red and was quite painful. I recommend that anyone with a part in their hair apply sunscreen to their scalp as well.

夫と二人での参加でした。
ツアー参加者は15人くらいで日本人客は私達二人のみ。
ガイドさんは親切なのですが全て英語なので、中学英語しかできない私は2割くらいしか理解できてないと思います。

イメージがつきやすく説明すると、エンジンの着いたゴムボードのふちに腰掛け、つかまるところはロープのみ。ボートはそんな不安定な私達を乗せて沖にけっこうなスピードでかなり揺れながら進みます。迫力満点です。今まで海に振り落とされた方もいらしたそうです。

途中、イルカの群れとの遭遇も何度かありました。
ケアラケクア湾まで行き、シュノーケルを楽しみます。
海水はやや冷たかったですが、水はとてもきれいで魚もたくさん見れ大満足なシュノーケルです。
シュノーケルの休憩中にサンドイッチなどのランチをボード上で頂きます。
帰りに溶岩洞窟を海側から眺めて戻ります。
溶岩洞窟の中に入るものだとばかり思っていたので、これはちょっと拍子抜けでした。

全体的には満足ですが、ボートのロープに常時しっかりとつかまってないと振り落とされそうですから、小さなお子さんやお年を召した方にはあまりオススメできないです。

それから、日焼け止めクリームは必ず必要です。
私の場合、体はしっかり塗り、顔はしっかりメイクをしていたのですが、シュノーケルをして落ちたのでしょうか、顔は焼けてしまいました。頭にはぬっていなかったのですが、髪の分け目は真っ赤になり、かなり痛かったです。髪に分け目がある方は、分け目の部分の頭皮にも日焼け止めクリームを塗ることをお勧めします。

First Rate/Best Deal

Reviewed by: linda

I took my 85 year old mother who has some physical limitations, my 73 year old husband, and my self (62) on the midday (no meal) cruise and snorkeling adventure. It was heavenly! The staff gave a general, easy to understand lesson to all. When my mother got down the stairs she decided she did not want to go. The staff people told me to go ahead that they would take care of her. A few minutes later she was out viewing the reef with a tube and a box. My husband did the same. I was able to relax and enjoy without worries. Thank you so much for one of the most pleasurable things I have done!

Big Island Snorkel Cruise to the Kohala Coast & Waikoloa with Lunch and Open Bar - Ocean Sports

Catamaran Black Sand Snorkel

Reviewed by: Paul

Excellent. To start, we went out on the Sea Smoke, little did we know, this was owned by James Arness (Gun Smoke TV show) and he raced this from LA to Hawaii and beat the pack by 2-days… So we were sailing on a piece of history.
Crew was awesome and extremely hospitable. Equipment was very good; food and beverages were high quality and fresh.
We arrived at the dive spot and it was amazing, sea turtles to say the least. The black sand beach was amazing and really different than the typical white sugar sand that most beaches are made of.
I would recommend this to all skill levels and all ages.
On the way back they sent up the sails and turned the engine off, we enjoyed the speed and stability that 60’ catamarans are famous for.
If you have a chance, don't miss this opportunity to view the Big Island and its beautiful coastline from the ocean… Well worth the 4-hour snorkel adventure and very convenient to find as this is anchored at the Waikoloa Marriot.

野生のマンタ シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>

The manta ray is huge!! マンタでかい!!

Reviewed by: ヨウジ

I saw a manta ray for the first time! It's huge! I'm so moved.
I'm excited!
I recommend a video camera that can shoot underwater or a digital camera that can record videos.
I participated with a snorkel, but when divers are directly below, the bubbles from their air rise up and make it almost impossible to see. If you use a flash, it reflects off the tiny bubbles and you can't capture the manta... If you shoot video, you can get some amazing footage of the manta doing flips!!!
I read on Alan1.net that you can rent wetsuits, but I didn't see anyone actually borrowing them, and the staff didn't seem to be actively looking for people who wanted to rent them. Another Japanese couple ended up not renting one and looked a bit anxious. I think it's quite cold in the water for slim people. I was shivering from the cold after getting out (we participated at the end of June). A large bath towel and thick sweatshirt are essential. Also, although I don't think it will happen, there were about 30 people on the boat, and luggage was placed carelessly, so it's safer not to bring valuables as much as possible.
I definitely recommend this for anyone who loves aquariums!!

マンタ初めて見ました!でかい!感動です。
興奮します!
水中で撮影できるビデオカメラもしくは動画撮影できるデジカメがおすすめ。
シュノーケルで参加しましたが、ダイビングの人が真下にいる場合、ダイバーの
エアの泡がたくさん上がってきてほぼ見えない状態。フラッシュ光らせると
細かい気泡にも反射してマンタが撮らない&#8226;&#8226;&#8226;。動画ならマンタが宙返りしている迫力あるのが撮れます!!!
Alan1.netさんのページでウエットスーツを借りられると書いてありましたが、実際借りている人は見当たらず、また、特にスタッフが借りたい人を募るわけでもなく、別の日本人カップルは結局借りずにちょっと不安がってました。痩せている人は水の中はけっこう寒いと思います。水からあがったら震えるほど寒かったです(私たちは6月末に参加しました。)。大きめのバスタオルと厚手のスエットは必須です。また、ないとは思いますが、船上に30人?近い人が乗り込み、荷物も無造作に置くので貴重品はできるだけ持っていかないのが安心です。
水族館が好きな人には絶対おすすめです!!

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>

Everyone should go and have fun together! みんなでワイワイ行くべし!

Reviewed by: ウォンダン

I went last week!

It was a tour that I was completely satisfied with. On the day we participated, my group was the only one made up of Japanese people. Most of the other guests were from the mainland United States. There were mostly couples, families, and groups participating.

We received safety instructions for snorkeling, but we were given a paper written in Japanese, so I think even those who are worried about the language can participate with peace of mind. Also, the staff and the surrounding guests all had a friendly atmosphere, so even if you don't speak English well, you can communicate with simple words and have a good time.

I think it's okay for those who are not confident in swimming to participate. On this tour, there were people enjoying themselves while floating on inflatable rings.

I recommend this tour for the morning since the waves are calmer then. Even in the morning tour, the waves do get a bit higher in the latter half.

It was a very enjoyable tour, but I got seasick on the way back. It takes nearly 30 minutes from the snorkeling point to the port, so you might feel nauseous. I recommend bringing motion sickness medication. Even if you don't have any, if you tell the staff, they will make ginger ale to help alleviate the nausea.

For snorkeling, I was lent a prescription snorkeling set. It's recommended for those who wear glasses.

Everyone was able to return to their childhood, jumping into the sea and enjoying snorkeling, having a great time. Other guests were also frolicking like children. I definitely recommend participating as a group and having fun together.

The water was clear down to the bottom, which was impressive. There were many sea urchins at the bottom, and I was able to see cute fish as well. The seawater was warm, which was also nice.

先週行ってきました!

すべてに大満足のツアーでした。
私たちが参加した日は私のグループのみが日本人でした。
他はアメリカ本土からのお客さんが多かったです。
カップルや家族連れ、グループでの参加がほとんどでした。

スノーケリングの注意などを受けますが、日本語で書かれた紙を渡されるので、言葉に心配な人でも安心して参加できると思います。
また、スタッフやまわりのお客さんもみんなフレンドリーな雰囲気だったので、英語が良くできなくても、簡単な言葉でコミュニケーションをとったり、楽しく過ごすことができました。

泳ぎに自信がない人も参加して大丈夫だと思います。
今回のツアーでも、浮き輪で揺られて楽しんでいる人もいました。

また、午前中のほうが波が静かなので、こちらのツアーをお勧めします。午前中のツアーでも後半では波が少し高くなってきます。

とても楽しいツアーでしたが、帰りの船で船酔いしてしまいました。スノーケリングのポイントから港まで30分近くかかるので、気持ち悪くなるかもしれません。
酔い止めを持っていくことをお勧めします。
もし、酔い止めをもっていなくとも、スタッフに伝えれば、酔い止めを緩和するジンジャーエールを作ってくれます。

スノーケリングでは、度付きのスノーケリングセットを貸してもらいました。めがねの人はお勧めです。

みんなが童心に帰って、海に飛び込んだり、スノーケリングを楽しんだり、楽しい時間をすごすことができました。
他のお客さんも子供のようにはしゃいでいました。
絶対、グループで参加してみんなでワイワイ過ごすことをオススメします。

海の中は底まで透き通っていて、感動的でした。
海の底にはウニがたくさんいて、かわいい魚たちも見ることができました。海水も暖かかったのもよかったです。

Ocean Safari's Kayak

We had a wonderful time on our Keauhou Sea Cave Kayak Adventure. Our main guide, Kevin, was wonderful. He was very concerned about our safety and enjoyment of the outing. We were able to kayak into a large sea cave before paddling over to our snorkeling destination. Many were adventurous and jumped off the 25 foot high cliff into the water, including my husband! One of our daughters and I snorkeled away from the main group a bit and I saw a few hundred yellow tang - more than I've ever seen before! There were many other kinds of fish there as well as Hawaii's state fish. Our oldest daughter had her snorkeling cut short when she got stung by a small jelly fish on the foot, as did one or two others in our tour, but that's a risk when in the ocean.

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 highly recommend it! お奨めです!

Reviewed by: Taka

I participated on May 20th.
First, the reception desk was set up in front of the Body Glove boat. Staff members arrived a little before the meeting time. It seemed there were no staff who spoke Japanese, but everyone was very gentlemanly and friendly, and they kindly listened even to my broken English, which was helpful.
We encountered a pod of dolphins right after departure. I think there were about 20 of them. It was my first time seeing wild dolphins, and I was moved. By the way, we encountered them again at the same spot on the way back, so they might always be there during this time of year.
After that, it took about 40 minutes to reach the snorkeling point. There was guidance in English along the way, but I couldn't catch it because it was too fast. However, they showed us a Japanese explanation sheet, so it was not a problem at all.
You can enjoy snorkeling for over two hours at a depth of about 5 to 10 meters where there are coral reefs. The water was a bit cold and somewhat chilly, but the visibility was high and there were many fish, so I had a great time. There seemed to be life jackets available, but I was strongly recommended to use a noodle, which is a long foam float, and when I tried it, it was indeed easy to use. Of course, they also lend you a snorkel and fins.
As for meals, as soon as you get on the boat, you can freely take breakfast (bread, muffins, fruit, drinks), and when you arrive at the snorkeling point, lunch (bread, ham, vegetables, potato chips, drinks, etc., all of various kinds) is provided, which you can also eat freely. The taste was just average, but I thought it was good that there were various options.
We were the only Japanese participants, but I think it’s a tour that is easy to join because the staff is very polite. One point to note is that the boat sways quite a bit, so I think it would be safer for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication before participating.

 5月20日に参加してきました。
 まず、受付はボディグローブの船の前にデスクが置いてあり、そちらになります。集合時間の少し前からスタッフの方がいらっしゃいました。日本語の通じるスタッフはいないようでしたが、皆さん非常に紳士的かつフレンドリーで片言の英語でも丁寧に聞いてくれるので、助かりました。
 出発してすぐにイルカの群れに遭遇しました。20頭ぐらいはいたと思います。野生のイルカは初めて見たので感動でした。ちなみに、帰りも同じポイントで遭遇しましたので、この時期は日中いつもそこにいるのかも知れません。
 その後、40分ほどかけてシュノーケリングポイントに到達します。途中、英語でガイダンスがありますが、早口で全く聞き取れませんでした。でも、日本語の説明書を見せてくれるので全く問題なかったです。
 珊瑚礁のある深さ5~10m程度のところで2時間以上シュノーケリングを満喫できます。水がやや冷たく若干肌寒かったですが、透明度は高く魚も多いので楽しめました。ライフジャケットもあるようでしたが、ヌードルという細長い発泡スチロールのような浮きを強く奨められ、使ってみたところ確かに使いやすかったです。もちろん、シュノーケルとフィンも貸してくれます。
 食事は、船に乗るとすぐに朝食(パン、マフィン、果物、飲み物)をフリーで取ることができ、シュノーケリングポイントにつくとランチ(パン、ハム、野菜、ポテトチップス、飲み物などいずれも複数種類)が用意され、これもフリーで食べられます。味はまあ普通ですが、種類がいろいろあるのがよいと思いました。
 日本人は我々だけでしたが、スタッフがとても丁寧なので参加しやすいツアーだと思います。一点だけ、船は結構揺れるので、弱い方は酔い止めを飲んで参加した方が安心だと思います。

ハワイ島 オーシャンラフティング&シュノーケルリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事付き>

The guide speaks English on the board adventure that lets you experience America. アメリカを感じるボードアドベンチャーでもガイドは英語

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Honestly, I set off not knowing what to expect.

The experience involved riding a high-speed jet board from the harbor near the King Kamehameha Hotel to Captain Cook.

There, I was able to rent a snorkeling set and snorkeled for about 30 minutes. Snacks (potato chips and chocolate chip cookies) and fruit were provided, along with soft drinks.

On the way back, we toured coastal sightseeing spots with explanations, but since the guide only spoke English, I felt a bit sad (like I missed out?).

Overall, I think it’s a refreshing experience that gives you a sense of an American adventure.

正直一体何が待っているのか不明で出発しました

内容としては、高速ジェットボードに乗り
キングカメハメハホテル近くの港から、キャプテンクックまでボードで走ります

そこで、シュノーケルセットを借りれて30分程度のシュノーケル
お菓子(ポテトチップとチョコチップクッキー)と果物
そして、ソフトドリンクがついていました

帰りは、海際の観光名所を回って説明をしてくれるんですが
ガイドさんが全員英語しか話せないため、ちょっと悲しい(損した?)気分になりました

全体的には、爽快な雰囲気でアメリカンアドベンチャーを感じられるプランだとは思います

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>

You should participate! 参加すべし!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Even when looking at guidebooks and everyone's reviews, it was recommended that if you go to Hawaii, you should see the Luau show, and I was a bit skeptical about how good it really was.

The result was a huge success!!
While waiting for the show to start, I participated in interactive events and enjoyed some cocktails.
After that, I had a buffet meal and watched the show.
Not only was there hula, but also Tahitian dance and a fire show, making it a rich and enjoyable experience.

ガイドブックを見ても、みんなの口コミを見ても、ハワイに行ったら、ルアルショーがお勧めと書かれてあり、そんなに良いのかなぁ??と半信半疑で、申し込みました。

 結果は、大正解!!
ショーが始まるまでの間は、参加型のイベントに参加したり、カクテルを飲んだりして時間を過ごしました。
その後、バイキングの食事を食べ、ショーを見ました。
 フラだけでなく、タヒチのダンスやファイアーショーもあり内容が充実していて、楽しめました。

ハワイ島 アトランティス潜水艦 ハワイの海底アドベンチャー <日本語オーディオガイド> 

Atlantis Submarine Tour アトランティス・サブマリンツアー

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We slowly moved from the Kailua Pier to the submarine by boat. The coastline of Kailua-Kona is beautiful. Once inside the submarine, I was surprised at how spacious it was; we dove 100 feet (about 30 meters) and could see the seabed clearly. I am generally prone to seasickness, and since I was sleep-deprived after participating in the Mauna Kea summit sunrise tour, I experienced mild seasickness. I recommend that those who are prone to seasickness take medication before boarding the boat at the pier.

カイルア桟橋から船でゆっくりと潜水艦まで移動
カイルア・コナの沿岸がきれい。
潜水艦に入って見ると中は意外に広く100フィート(約30m)潜り海底まで見えきれい。
もともと船に弱い方で、またマウナケア山頂サンライズツアー参加後すぐで睡眠不足だったので、軽い船酔いになりました。
船に弱い方は、桟橋で船に乗る前船酔いの薬を飲まれる事をお勧めします。

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>

Dolphin イルカ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was able to see dolphins. I was a bit worried because it seemed that some people couldn't see them, but during my visit, perhaps due to the timing, I was able to see dolphins swimming from the hotel balcony in the morning, so I wasn't too concerned. By the way, it was around mid-May, during the new moon phase (which may not be related).

As soon as we set sail, we saw dolphins up close, and I was really excited. I regretted not taking pictures because I thought we would be snorkeling there. We ended up snorkeling at another location, which had beautiful coral reefs. They provided masks and fins, and just floating in the sea was very soothing and enjoyable. There were always meals and drinks available, and the shower and restroom were clean, so I thought it was a nice experience. It felt more like a relaxing playtime.

I also did diving as an option. I didn't understand the language, but they properly informed us about the dive sites and guided us, so I had a lot of fun. However, once you start diving, the free time (if you can call it that) becomes limited. I thought it would be amazing if we could dive in the area where the dolphins are.

イルカ見れました。書き込みには、見れなかった人もいたようなので、ちょっと心配でしたが、私の時は、時期がよっかったのか、ホテルのベランダからも朝はイルカが泳いでいるのがみれていたので、心配がなたったです。ちなみに5月半ばの、(関係ないかもだけど、)新月位の時でした。
 出航してすぐイルカがみれ、まじかでしたので、ちょう興奮しました。そこでスノーケルかと思い写真をとらなかったのが、残念でした。スノーケルは、他の場所で、そこは珊瑚のきれいな海です。マスクとフィンを貸してくれて、海に浮いているだけでもとても癒されよかったです。食事も飲み物もつねにあるし、シャワーもついてるし、トイレもキレイなので、いい感じだと思います。どちらかというと、のんびり遊ぶ(癒しな)感じだと思います。
 オプションでダイビングもしました。言葉は解りませんが、ちゃんとポイント名も教えてくれて、ガイドもしてくれたので、結構楽しめました。 ただ、ダイビングをしてしまうと、自由時間(?)が少なくなってしまいます。せっかくなら、イルカがいるところで、ダイビングできたら最高なのにな、と思いました。

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 was able to see dolphins! イルカが見れました!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in a cruise that departed at 9 AM.

On the day of the cruise, we were the only Japanese people, and the rest were foreigners. All the explanations were in English, but I didn't have any particular difficulties. On the way there and back, we encountered dolphins. We were able to stop the boat and enjoy watching the dolphins until they left. Unfortunately, the dolphins weren't at the snorkeling point, so we couldn't swim with them, but the rental snorkeling gear was very clean, and the boat had a slide that the kids could enjoy (the adults were sliding down too). They provided anti-fog spray for the snorkeling masks and tubes as substitutes for floatation devices, which made for a very comfortable experience. The snorkeling point was in shallow waters with not much wave action, and there were plenty of fish, so even kids could have fun.

There was someone celebrating a birthday that day, and we all sang a birthday song at the end. It was a fun tour.

朝9時出港のクルーズに参加しました。

当日は日本人は私たちだけであとは外人さんたちでした。
説明はすべて英語ですが 特に苦労はしませんでした。
行く途中と帰りにイルカに遭遇。
船をとめて イルカが去るまでゆっくり堪能できました。
残念ながら イルカがシュノーケルポイントに居なかったので一緒に泳ぐことはできなかったのですが
レンタルのシュノーケルもとても綺麗だし、船には滑り台がついていて子供も楽しめます(大人もみんな滑ってます)
シュノーケルの際のマスクの曇り止めや浮き環の代わりのチューブなどが準備されていて とても快適に過ごせます。
シュノーケルポイントも波があまりない浅瀬で、魚もたくさんいるので 子供でも楽しめます。

当日は誕生日の方がいて 皆で最後にバースデーソングを歌ったり。 楽しいツアーでした。

ハワイ島 オーシャンラフティング&シュノーケルリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事付き>

It was a very beautiful sea! とっても綺麗な海でしたっ!

Reviewed by: Azmy

The captain and staff speak English, but they provide a paper with important notes and destination explanations in Japanese at the beginning, so there's no need to worry. They know a lot about Japan and speak in friendly, easy-to-understand English.

We traveled to the snorkeling point by rubber boat, and we immediately encountered swimming sea turtles in the harbor. Once we hit the open sea, we sped towards our destination. The sudden increase in speed made me think I might be thrown into the water at first (laughs), but I quickly got used to it and enjoyed the beautiful blue sea and the coastline of the Big Island while cheering on the bouncing boat.

Kealakekua Bay, where Captain Cook's monument is located, is a natural spot facing steep cliffs. The waves were calm, making it safe for me, even as a first-time snorkeler. The water was crystal clear and bright with sunlight, and the beautiful coral reefs and colorful fish made me lose track of time. Although it was far away, I was also able to see a pod of dolphins.

I had a great time, but when I got back and looked in the mirror, I noticed my back and the back of my thighs were sunburned and my butt had clear tan lines from my swimsuit. Please make sure to apply sunscreen thoroughly before you go!

キャプテンもスタッフも英語ですが、最初に注意事項や行き先の説明を日本語で書いた紙をくれるので、心配ありません。日本のことも良く知っていて、やさしい英語で気さくに話しかけてくれますよ♪
シュノーケルポイントへはゴムボートで行くのですが、港内でさっそく泳ぐ海亀に遭遇。海に出た後は目的地まで猛スピードで行きます。いきなりスピードアップしたので、最初は海に放り出されるかと思いました(笑)でもすぐに慣れて、飛び跳ねるボートに歓声をあげながら、真っ青な海やハワイ島の海岸線の景色を楽しむことができました。
クック船長の記念碑のあるケアラケクア湾は断崖絶壁に面した自然いっぱいの場所です。波も穏やかでシュノーケリングが初めての私でも安心でした。海は奥深くまで透き通って日の光で明るく、綺麗な珊瑚礁と色とりどりの魚たちには、時間が過ぎるのを忘れてしまうくらいでした。遠くでしたが、イルカの群れも見ることができました。
とても楽しかったですが、帰って鏡を見たら、背中、腿の裏が日焼けで赤くなってました。お尻も水着の跡がくっきり。日焼け止めは念入りに塗って行って下さいね。
