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

Best place for snorkeling in Hawaii island

Reviewed by: Hsu

The Kealakekua Snorkel Tour is very well-organized. It takes about 30 minutes to reach the bay, which is incredibly beautiful. The staff on the boat are very friendly and provide support and assistance when needed. The coral and tropical fish in the bay are stunning, and it's very easy to observe the underwater scenery.

Elite Volcano Hiking Tour - Explore Kilauea’s Most Recent Eruption & Lava Flows

Amazing Experience!

Reviewed by: Jody

This was such an amazing experience that I hardly know where to begin.

I can't say enough about Jen, who was our guide. From the moment we met her at 7:30 am (she was early to pick up near our residence) until she dropped us back home ~12 hours later, she made the trip such a positive experience. She was very personable and easy for my husband and I to chat with us as we made the ~1.5 hr drive to pick up the rest of the passengers in Hilo.

She was constantly pointing out areas of interest and sharing background information and context so that we could fully appreciate the sights of the Volcano park.

The 3 mile hike was great, and it was so interesting to spend time on the caldera floor, although I will admit that the trek back up truly tested my stamina!

All in all, an amazing day!

Waipio Shuttle - An Exceptional Guided Sightseeing Tour of Waipio Valley

Amazing experience and breathtaking scenery

Reviewed by: Jody

This was an amazing experience taking us deep into the Waipio Valley. This shuttle is almost the only way to explore the Waipio Valley, which is something NOT to be missed in touring the Big Island of Hawaii.

Our driver (unfortunately forgot his name; were on the 1st morning tour on 5/9/24) was extremely proficient in navigating the exceedingly steep terrain and making us feel safe and calm. He pointed out areas of interest, and made frequent stops for us to get out of the van and take pictures.

We highly recommend this tour!

マウナケア山麓 星空観測ツアー　ボイリング・ポッツやカウマナケイブなど穴場スポットにも立ち寄り＜夕食付／英語ガイド／ヒロ地区発＞

A sunset I've never seen before. 見たことのない夕焼け

Reviewed by: Okei

I participated alone during my stay in Hilo. It was great to find a Mauna Kea tour departing from Hilo, as they are not easy to come by. The scenery while driving through Mauna Kea felt like I had arrived in another world. The sunset and the evening glow were wonderful. The starry sky was also breathtaking, with the Scorpius and the Southern Cross clearly visible. I'm not good at English, so I listened to the guide's talk while translating it with a translation app. It was a tour that nature lovers would absolutely enjoy.

ヒロに滞在中に一人で参加しました。
ヒロ発のマウナケアのツアーがなかなかなくて、
見つけられて良かったです。
マウナケアの懐を走っている時の景色は、
地球外に来たのではないかと思ってしまうような異空間でした。
また、サンセット、からの夕焼けは素晴らしかったです。
そして星空も、さそり座や南十字星が綺麗に見えて感動しました。

Dolphin Quest Hawaii - Dolphin Swim & Encounter at Hilton Waikoloa Village

Incredible experience, highly recommend!

Reviewed by: Carol Kromer

This was my second time doing this and it was amazing both times! This time I took my 3-year-old grandson. He was excited up until it was time to get in the water. He started crying and wanting mommy and though she was there she wasn’t planning to get in the pool (I hadn’t paid for her). Anyways, the trainer saw how upset he was and asked him if he wanted to hear the dolphin fart. He stopped crying and watched as she proceeded to make the dolphin make a fart sound. She then offered to let him do it and he did which made him laugh. He then decided the dolphin was pretty cool and ended up petting her and feeding her too. It was so fun spending that time with him and I can’t wait to do it again when my granddaughter is old enough.

It feels like you can enjoy your meal while watching. The variety and amount of food and drinks are just right. With Alii Seat, you get priority entry and can grab the buffet first, and the staff at your table quickly ask for your drink orders and bring them to you. The show isn't flashy, but you can enjoy it casually while eating and drinking. If you don't understand English, you'll just have to enjoy the atmosphere.

食べながら見るという感じですが食べ物、飲み物の種類と量もちょうど良い感じです。

Hawaii Manta Ray Sunset & Night Time Snorkel Experience from Kona - Iruka

Spectacular snorkeling experience!

Reviewed by: Kirk

We attended the 9pm experience and it was absolutely worth every cent as well as the late hour. We were completely surrounded by manta rays, there were at least a dozen feeding within inches of the group. There were bottlenose dolphin hunting at the edges of the lighted area and we were even visited by a small shark. Everything a Hawaiian night snorkel should be!

The guides were professional and knowledgeable and truly provided an outstanding experience.

I would recommend a light jacket for the 20 minute boat ride to and from the dive sight if you get cold easily. I was in swim trunks and a long sleeve rash guard and I was fine, but my wife was a bit chilly on the trip back.

We would 100% do this experience again!

When you descend into the gorge, you feel a mystical sensation. Even now, there are people living in the gorge, creating an indescribable atmosphere. From a Japanese perspective, you can feel the presence of gods in the river, mountains, and land. When I shared this with the guide, they said, "This is a special place." There was no Japanese guide available, so I couldn't understand the detailed explanations, but I enjoyed it enough. The quiet atmosphere brings a sense of calm, allowing you to become one with nature and the gods.

溪谷に降りると、神秘的な感覚を覚えます。今も、溪谷で暮らしている方々もいらっしゃって、何とも言えない雰囲気です。
日本人感覚としては、川、山、土地に、神様が居るのを感じます。

日本語ガイド無いので、細かい説明は、分かりませんでしたが、充分楽しめます。

Four manta rays! マンタ4匹！

Reviewed by: ヨッキ

I heard that the only place in the world where you can definitely see them is on the Big Island, so I signed up for the tour. Four manta rays swam around us, coming very close. It was my first experience being near such large creatures. Also, being in the quiet ocean at night with the mantas and fish gave me a sense of unity as a living being on Earth, creating a mystical feeling. I highly recommend it. Next time I go to the Big Island, I think I will ask for this again.

世界中で、確実に会えるのは、ハワイ島だけだと聞いてツアーに申し込みました。
4匹のマンタが入れ替わり、すぐ近くを回遊してくれました。そんな大きな生き物の近くにいるのが初めての経験でした。
また、夜の静かな海中で、マンタや魚達といると、地球生物として一体感を感じられ、神秘的な感覚になります。
圧倒的におすすめです。

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ ＜12～3月／午前／軽食付き／ワイコロアまたはカワイハエ港発＞

Whale watching ホエールウォッチング

Reviewed by: さささん

During this season, they appear in various places, so we were able to see them from all directions on the boat. Along the way, they submerged a microphone in the water, allowing us to hear the whales' calls.

Baby whales frequently jump, so if you can identify the area where they seem to be, you can stand by and catch a glimpse of them jumping. However, for safety reasons, they maintain a certain distance, so you can only see them from relatively far away. It would be good to have binoculars; I brought a 10x pair and was able to see quite well.

To board the boat, you take a small boat from the sandy beach and transfer to a larger boat a little offshore. Flip-flops or going barefoot is recommended. On the boat, you can get drinks (canned juice or Mai Tai) and snacks (chips). There is no shade on the boat, so make sure to take precautions against sunburn. The interior of the boat isn't very spacious, so it's best to keep your luggage to a minimum. Most people were nearly empty-handed except for their smartphones.

時期的にあちこちで出現しますので、船の全方向で見ることが出来ました。
途中、マイクを海中に沈め、クジラの鳴き声も聞かせてくれます。

子鯨が頻繁にジャンプしますので、大体あの辺にいそう、というのを見極めてスタンバイしてるとジャンプなど見れます
ただ、安全のため一定の距離は取っているので比較的遠くでしか見ることはできません
望遠鏡などあると良いと思います。私は10倍のものですが、持参してよく見ることが出来ました。

船の乗船は砂浜から小さなボートにのり、少し沖にある船に乗り換えます。
ビーサン、裸足がオススメです。
船ではドリンク（缶ジュースか、マイタイ）、スナック（チップス）がもらえます。
船上は日除無いので日焼け対策はしっかりしましょう。
船内もそんなに広く無いので荷物は最小限にした方がいいです。

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＞

A manta ray swims right in front of me. マンタが目の前を通ります

Reviewed by: さえさえ

First, we watched the sunset sinking into the sea from the boat before entering the water. That alone is worth seeing.
Then, when I actually jumped into the sea and held onto the float, I saw a manta ray swimming gracefully. With its mouth wide open... it was truly moving!
I was initially warned not to touch them, but there were moments when they passed so close that I was scared I might accidentally touch one. Although manta rays are not always visible, I was healed by watching them swim slowly with their bodies larger than mine.

まず、海に入る前に船上から海に沈む夕日を見学しました。それだけでも見る価値があります。
そして実際に海に飛び込み、フロートを握りしめていると‥マンタが悠々と泳いでいます。口を大きく開けて‥それは感動物です！！
触らないように、と最初に注意事項を説明されたのですが、本当に目の前ギリギリを通ることもあり触ってしまいそうで怖かったです。常にマンタが見える訳ではありませんが、自分より大きな身体をゆっくり動かし泳ぐマンタに癒されました。

I participated in a night snorkeling tour with manta rays at Manta University, with transportation provided from Hilton and Kingsland. There was no Japanese interpreter, so I had to rely on observation to navigate the night sea. At first, the water was murky and I couldn't see anything, and it was cold, but I was thrilled when the manta rays appeared, illuminated by the lights. I managed to check in for the tour, snorkel in the night sea, and handle video streaming after disembarking, all through gestures, and I had a great experience even at over 60 years old.

About 60 km from the hotel in Waikoloa, after passing Honokaa and driving for a while, we arrived at the ranch, which took about an hour. We hopped into a two-person buggy and started our adventure. First, we drove through the mountain course, encountering ducks, cows, and horses for an hour. After returning to the office, we took a break and enjoyed freshly picked pineapple to recharge, then spent the second hour on the coastal course. We could switch drivers at any time, which added to the thrill. On the way back, we were satisfied after eating the famous Malasada at Tex Drive In.
