ハワイ島 乗馬ツアー コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬! <午前・午後/英語ガイド>by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

A breathtaking 2.5-hour ride. 絶景の2.5時間ライド

Reviewed by: tass

I was able to leisurely explore the vast ranch on a well-trained horse. There are two course options: 1.5 hours and 2.5 hours, so horse riding enthusiasts can choose the 2.5-hour option to fully enjoy the experience.

Since this tour does not include transportation, if you are not renting a car, you can take an Uber to get there, but please note that you won't be able to catch an Uber for the return trip (as there aren't many cars passing by), so a taxi is essential.

広大な牧場の中を、しっかりと調教された馬に乗って悠々と散策することができました。コースは1.5時間と2.5時間の2種類あるため、乗馬好きな方は2.5時間を選びたっぷりと楽しむこともできます(^^)
送迎がないツアーなので、レンタカーではない場合に、行きはUberで行けますが、帰りはUberで拾えない(車があまり通らない)ため、タクシー必須ですのでご注意ください。

ドルフィン・クエスト イルカと触れ合えるプログラムが充実!キッズ向けプログラム<ヒルトン・ワイコロア・ビレッジ内>

My 3-year-old also had fun! 3歳も楽しんだ!

Reviewed by: KEI

I thought my 3-year-old daughter would definitely cry and not want to touch anything, but at first, she was in my arms, and gradually she started reaching out and touching things on her own! By the end, she wanted to touch even more! Since it was in English, the level was just right for her! I definitely want to participate again next time!

絶対こわーいと泣いて触らないだろうと
思っていた3歳の娘が、最初こそ抱っこでしたが
徐々に勝手に手を伸ばして触っていました!!
そして最後にはもっと触りたかったー!と。
英語だったのでウィートッツのレベルで
ちょうどよかったです!次回もまたぜひ参加したいです!

I couldn't see many fish while snorkeling, but the boat service was excellent. The boat's restroom was clean, and of course, drinks were included, along with unlimited food from breakfast to lunch, which was a great value.

You can swim with dolphins! イルカと泳げます!

Reviewed by: さばお

I was able to swim with many dolphins. According to the guide, there are days when you can only see a few, so I think I was lucky. However, I believe it was thanks to the guide's efforts in finding the right spots to see the dolphins. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

沢山のイルカと泳ぐ事ができました。
ガイドさん曰く、数頭しか会えない日もあるとの事で、運が良かったのだと思います。
でも、イルカに会えるポイントをしっかり探して下さったお陰だと思います。
とても良い思い出になりました。有難うございます。

ハワイ島 乗馬ツアー コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬! <午前・午後/英語ガイド>by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

Refreshing 気分爽快

Reviewed by: ニック

Unlike Oahu, the best way to enjoy the Big Island is through nature! This experience of interacting with horses and becoming one with the magnificent nature is truly invaluable. The horses are well-trained, and while it may be a bit lacking for advanced riders, it's perfect for families and couples to enjoy at a leisurely pace! I think you'll have a wonderful time.

オアフ島と違いハワイ島では自然を楽しむのが一番!馬と戯れ雄大な自然と一体になれるこの体験は何物にも代えがたいものです。馬はよく躾けられており、上級者には少し物足りなさもあるかもしれませんが、家族やカップルでゆっくり楽しむには最高!楽しい時間を過ごせると思います。

I got to meet a lot of dolphins! ★ たくさんのイルカに会えました★

Reviewed by: mirai

In the past, when I participated in a tour to swim with wild dolphins in Japan, they didn't come very close to me, but this time, dolphins came right in front of me!! Within about three minutes of departure, dolphins were swimming next to the boat. We quickly arrived at the pod and were able to swim with many dolphins. I was truly moved to see so many dolphins swimming right in front of me!! The guide also mentioned that we were lucky today, and we were able to enjoy snorkeling without moving around too much in the boat! At one point, Daisuke was swimming with the dolphins too, and he dove in so quickly, it was like he was a dolphin! I made sure to engrave the experience in my memory, but I later thought it would have been great to rent a GoPro to look back on it. The weather was also favorable, making it a wonderful memory. This tour allows you to arrive at the spot before other tour boats, so you can be the first to swim with the dolphins! Since it finishes in the morning, I was able to join the Mauna Kea tour in the afternoon, making for a fulfilling day. Next time, I want to participate again with a GoPro rental!

過去に一度日本で野生のイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加した時は、
あまり近づいてくれませんでしたが、今回は目の前にイルカがきてくれました!!
出発してから3分も経たないくらいで、ボート横にイルカが泳いでいました。
すぐに群れのところに到着し、たくさんのイルカと一緒に泳ぐことができました。目の前でたくさんのイルカが泳いでいるのを見れて、本当に感動しました!!
ガイドさんも今日はラッキーと仰っていましたが、あまりボートで移動することなく、シュノーケリングを楽しむことができました!
途中だいすけさんも一緒にイルカと泳いでいましたが、あっという間に潜っていてまるでイルカのようでした!
しっかり目に焼き付けましたが、後から見返せるようにGoProレンタルをすればよかったなと思いました。
天候にも恵まれ、良い思い出になりました。
このツアーでは、他のツアーの船が来る前に、ポイントに到着できるので、一番乗りでイルカと泳ぐことができるそうです!
午前中で終わるので、午後からはマウナケアツアーに参加でき、充実した1日になりました。
次回はGoProレンタルでまた参加したいです!

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>

The local vibe is the best at the luau. ローカルな感じが最高のルアウ

Reviewed by: Anolani

There were few Japanese people, and many locals... The show that starts with the entrance of Kamehameha was quite good. It wasn't very large, but it was compactly organized, and we could see well. The food was Hawaiian, and it was delicious. The show featured hula dances that told the story of humans being born from taro, hula dedicated to Kamehameha, and hula from various islands like Tahiti and New Zealand... all were skillful and full of highlights. I highly recommend this luau when visiting the Big Island.

日本人が少なくて、地元の方多し。。。カメハメハの入場から始まるショーはなかなかよいです。そんなに広くありませんでしたが、コンパクトにまとまっており、よく見れました。食事もハワイアンフードでしたが、おいしかったです。ショーもタロイモから人間が生まれ、カメハメハに捧げるフラ、そしてタヒチ、ニュージー等々の各諸島のフラ、、どれも上手で見どころ満点でした。ハワイ島の際はぜひおすすめしたいルアウです。

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>

I'm so excited about the cute manta rays! かわいいマンタに大興奮!

Reviewed by: マーガレット

This was my first trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, and I participated in the much-talked-about night manta ray tour. I chose this particular tour among several options because the price included a wetsuit and was relatively reasonable, the boat ride to the snorkeling point was short, and there was a 7-day guarantee in case we didn't encounter any manta rays.

On the day of the tour, I went to the office to check in and then traveled to the boarding point, which was about a 5-minute drive away. There, I was able to rent a wetsuit and snorkeling gear. My husband borrowed prescription goggles. We set sail during sunset and quickly arrived at the snorkeling point. Aside from us, everyone else on the tour was from abroad, with about 30 participants in total. The instructions were given only in English, but it wasn't a problem at all. The staff members were very friendly and made the experience enjoyable.

The night ocean was incredibly mystical. Holding onto the floatation device and looking down, manta rays soon appeared. Over the course of about 50 minutes, 5 to 6 manta rays came by, showcasing their graceful movements. They were so adorable that I lost track of time, and everyone was super excited! My husband seemed ready to get out, but I wanted to keep watching forever. We returned to the dock in about 5 minutes, and I didn't feel the cold I had worried about at all. It was a thoroughly satisfying night.

今回初めてのハワイ島旅行、話題の夜のマンタツアーに参加しました。いくつかある同企画の中からこちらのツアーを選んだ理由は、ウェットスーツ込みの価格が比較的リーズナブルなこと、岸からポイントまでの乗船時間が短いこと、非遭遇時の7日間保証があることです。
当日、自分で事務所へ行き受付を済ませ、かなり離れた乗船ポイントまで行きます(車で5分)。そこでウェットスーツやシュノーケルセットを借りられます。主人は度付きのゴーグルを貸してもらいました。夕焼けの中、出航。すぐにポイントに到着。私達夫婦以外は全て外国の方。全部で30人位参加していました。説明は英語オンリーでしたが、特に困ることもありません。スタッフの方達はとてもフレンドリーで、楽しませてくれました。
夜の海はとても神秘的です。浮き具につかまり下を覗くと、すぐにマンタがやってきてくれました。50分程の間に5〜6頭やってきては、華麗な舞を披露してくれました。可愛くて、時間の経つのも忘れ、みんな大興奮‼︎ 主人はそろそろ上がりたかったみたいですが、私はいつまでもいつまでも見ていたかったです。帰りも5分程で船着場に到着。心配していた寒さも感じず、大満足の夜でした。

ドルフィン・クエスト イルカと触れ合えるプログラムが充実!キッズ向けプログラム<ヒルトン・ワイコロア・ビレッジ内>

I had a valuable experience! 貴重な体験ができました!

Reviewed by: 黒猫ジジ

We participated as a family of three: my 7-year-old son, my 11-year-old son, and their father. The price was high, so their mother decided not to join... but since she could film from the observation area, it turned out to be better for her not to participate!

We started with a 15-minute lecture about dolphins at the learning center, and then we went to the pool. They provided life jackets and goggles. There were two families of three, making a total of six people in our group. There were a few times we had to wait, but overall, we spent about 30 minutes in the pool, which was longer than we expected, and the kids were satisfied.

Compared to snorkeling tours to see wild dolphins, I think the price is indeed high. We were able to take a lot of photos, but the cost for purchasing the data was $55 for two photos and $155 for all, which is quite expensive. However, I felt it was a good choice since I was scared to take small children out into the ocean.

7歳、11歳の息子と父親、3人で参加しました。
料金が高かったので、母は参加を断念…でも見学スペースから動画の撮影ができたので、記録係としてはかえって参加しなくてよかったです!

はじめにラーニングセンターで15分ほどイルカについてのレクチャーを受け、その後プールへ。
ライフジャケットとゴーグルは貸してもらえます。
3人家族×2組の6人が同じグループでした。
途中、待たされる時間などがちょくちょくありましたが、プールに入ってから帰ってくるまで30分くらいと思っていたより長く、子供達も満足していました。

野生のイルカを見るシュノーケリングツアーと比べるとやはり値段は高いなと思います。写真もたくさん撮ってもらえましたが、データ購入代は2枚で55ドル、全部購入で155ドルと、結構な高額です。
ただ小さな子供を沖に出すのは怖かったので、こちらを選んで良かったと思います。

It was okay even if I could only do the flutter kick! バタ足しか出来なくても大丈夫でした!

Reviewed by: Sapphire

On the day of the tour, it seemed that the previous group had a hard time finding the dolphins and returned late. This meant that the tour was dedicated to ensuring we would meet the dolphins. In fact, our captain was determined to find them for us. About an hour after leaving the port, we spotted the dolphins! I could only do a flutter kick, but our guide, Aki, held my hand and encouraged me, saying, "Look down! Relax!" while we snorkeled. I was able to see a pod of dolphins up close! Of course, it’s different from seeing them in an aquarium! We continued to dive three more times while chasing the pod of dolphins. The captain made sure that all participants got to see and enjoy the dolphins. His dedication to ensuring everyone was satisfied was incredible! The only regret I have is that I participated without cash, so I couldn’t give a tip. I truly regret that. Thank you to Captain Noda and Aki, who guided me to see the dolphins! Aki is very knowledgeable about coffee. On the way back to the port, we stopped by a coffee shop, and the Kona coffee was truly delicious and not sour at all! This was also a wonderful experience from participating in the tour.

当日、前の時間帯のグループがイルカになかなか会えず戻ってくるのが遅れているようでした。…ということは、イルカに会えるまでがんばってくれるツアーということ。実際、私たちのグループにも船長が執念でイルカを探してくれました。港を出て一時間ほどで目指すイルカたちが!私はバタ足しか出来ません。が、ガイドのアキさんが手を引いてくれて、「下を見て!力を抜いて!」と激励されながら、シュノーケリング。しっかりとイルカの群れを見ました!当然ですが、水族館で見るのとは違います!その後もイルカの群れを追いかけながらさらに三回ほど潜水。参加者全員がしっかりとイルカに会い満喫するまで船を走らせてくれました。全員が満足を感じるようにという執念?がハンパじゃありません!心残りは、現金を持たずに参加したのでチップをお渡しできなかったこと。ほんとうにそれがめちゃくちゃ心残りです。船長の縄田さん、手を引いてイルカに会わせてくれたアキさん、ありがとうございました!アキさんは、コーヒーにめちゃくちゃ詳しいです。港に向かう途中でコーヒー屋さんに寄ってもらいましたが、ほんとうに美味しいコナのコーヒーは酸っぱくない!これもこのツアー参加の素敵な体験です。

My dream has come true!! 夢が叶いました!!

Reviewed by: Satomi

This trip to Hawaii was a long-awaited three-generation family vacation. To fulfill my 9-year-old niece's wish to swim with dolphins, we decided to participate as a family. Our family tends to be more indoorsy, and with many of us not being able to swim, we were able to enjoy ourselves safely thanks to the kind and friendly Nao and the handsome and fun Rei, who provided us with constant support. The sea conditions were terrible, and participants from other tour companies likely wouldn’t have seen any dolphins, but thanks to Nao, Rei, and the captain's persistence, we encountered a large pod of dolphins! They made our dream of swimming with dolphins come true, creating a lifelong memory. My niece was also very satisfied.

The driver, Mr. Nawata, was from Fukuoka like us, and we had a great time chatting about our hometown, making it enjoyable from start to finish! Mr. Nawata and Rei were just as handsome as they were described (laughs).

Thank you so much for the best dolphin tour! I definitely want to ask Aloha Kona Tours for help again next time!

今回のハワイ旅行は、念願の3世代旅行でした。イルカと泳ぎたい!という9歳の姪の希望を叶えるために、家族で参加を決めました。インドア派な我が家...泳げない人も多数いる中、優しくて気さくななおさんとイケメンで楽しいレイさんが付きっきりでサポートしてくださり、安心して楽しむことができました。他のツアー会社の参加者は、きっとイルカに会えなかっただろうという最悪な海のコンディションでしたが、なおさん、レイさん、船長さんが粘ってくれたおかげで、イルカの大群と遭遇!イルカたちと一緒に泳ぐ夢を叶えていただき、一生の思い出となりました(^^)姪も大満足でした。

今回送迎してくださった縄田さんは、同じ福岡出身で、地元話でとても盛り上がり最初から最後まで楽しかったです!

Dolphin expert イルカのプロ

Reviewed by: samotako

I was led by guides who never forgot their respect for dolphins on a small group tour, and even though I can't swim, I was able to encounter a pod of dolphins twice! My daughter seemed truly moved by the pod and managed to dive during all six of her attempts, seeing not only dolphins but also a large school of mackerel. My son, who usually doesn't get seasick, ended up feeling nauseous on the boat. It might have been because he wasn't used to the wetsuit. Additionally, wearing a rash guard might have been constricting for him. Even the experienced guides mentioned that they feel seasick when wearing a wetsuit, so for those who can swim, it might be better to keep things light.

少人数のツアーでイルカに対するリスペクトを忘れない姿勢のガイドさん達にリードしてもらい、泳げない私でも2度ほどイルカの群れに出会えました!
娘はイルカの群れに本当に感動したようで、6回ほどのチャレンジ全て潜り、イルカの他アジの大群なども見たようです。
息子は普段酔うタイプではないのですが、船酔いしてしまいました。ウエットスーツが慣れなかったせいもあるかもしれません。更にラッシュガードも着ていたのが体を締め付けていたのかも。
慣れてるガイドの方でもウエットスーツを着ると酔うとおっしゃってたので、泳げる方は、身軽にした方がいいかもです。

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>

Only the fire dance was good. ファイヤーダンスのみ良かったです

Reviewed by: りえこ

The fire dance was the only good part.

However, there were very few drink options for the all-you-can-drink, and it took an astonishing amount of time to reach the buffet. Everyone entered early, so it felt like we wasted hours. (Originally, the meal was supposed to start an hour after the drinks, but there were delays and waiting in line.) This was surprising to the point that it couldn't just be brushed off as "because it's overseas."

The crowd was mostly Americans, and everyone seemed to be waiting reluctantly. An American lady next to me shouted, "I'm hungry!"

I went with my husband at the end of July, and since it was a venue that could hold hundreds of people, we left with a wry smile, thinking they must be making quite a profit. The seats I bought were $100 per person. The reviews were quite good, so it was baffling.

ファイヤーダンスのみ良かったです。

ただ、飲み放題の種類も少なく、ビュッフェにたどり着くまで、恐ろしく時間がかかりました。皆さん前もって早めに入るので、何時間も無駄にした感じでした。(もともと食事は飲み物のあと、一時間後開始ですが、遅れや順番待ちもあり)
こればかりは、「海外だから、、」ですまされないレベルで驚きました。
満席の客層はほぼアメリカ人でしたが、皆仕方なく待っているといった感じでした。横のアメリカ人のおばさまは、「アイムハングリー!」と叫んでいました。

7月末に主人と行きましたが、何百人も入る開場なので、相当の儲けだね~と苦笑いしながら帰ってきました。私が買った席は1人100ドルでした。口コミはなかなか良かったので、意味不明でした。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾 シュノーケリングツアー <軽食付き/英語ガイド>

Since we are boarding with a small group, it feels private. 少人数で乗船するのでプライベート感があります

Reviewed by: ぺこち

Since there was no shuttle service, we took an Uber to the dock for $20. When we signed up for the trip, it turned out that we were the only ones on the boat. It seems that the other participants, all from English-speaking countries, were on separate boats with their families. After visiting the blowhole, we went snorkeling at Captain Cook's Cove, where we saw a lot of tropical fish. After that, we went looking for dolphins and encountered a large pod of dolphins called Captain Whale, which were about 5 meters long! We observed the dolphins from the boat.

Since we went on a small boat, here are some points to consider:

Pros: The small boat can anchor close to the coral reef, allowing us to get near the fish areas without swimming too much. With fewer people, it feels more private.
Cons: There are only two seats with backrests. The other two seats are like benches on the side, so it feels scary unless you hold onto something to avoid being thrown around. There was only one staff member who acted as both the driver and the guide. The boat goes quite fast, so motion sickness medication is a must.

送迎なしのため、船着き場まではuberで$20で行きました。4人で申し込んだところ、船に乗るのは私達だけでした。他の参加者【全員英語圏】も家族ごとに別の船だったようです。ブロウホールを見学したあと、キャプテンクック岬でシュノーケリングしました。たくさんの熱帯魚が見られます。そのあとイルカを探しに行き、キャプテンホエールという体長5mの大きなイルカの群れに遭遇できました!イルカは船上からの観察です。

小さいボートで行くので以下をご参考に。

メリット:船が小さいので珊瑚礁の近くに停泊できる。したがってあまり泳がなくても魚エリアに近づける。少人数なのでプライベート感がある。
デメリット:背もたれのある座席は2席のみ。あとの2席は側面のベンチのような椅子に座るので、何かにつかまっていないと飛ばされそうで怖い。船のスタッフは運転手兼ガイドの1名のみ。かなりスピードを出すので酔い止めは必須。

From the pre-show to the main event, the host uniquely kept things interesting and it was very entertaining. The luau show at Hilton was the best in terms of venue size, stage size, and the host's skills. The dancers in the luau show seem to rotate among the hotels, as I have seen them in other shows as well...

プレショーから本番まで、司会の方がユニークに飽きさせずに進行して、とても面白かったです。ヒルトンのルアウショー は、会場の規模、舞台の大きさ、司会の技量等、一番良かったです。ルアウショー の踊る人たちは各ホテル持ち回りのようで、ほかのショーでも見かけましたが・・・・。

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

A true must do experience

Reviewed by: Adam

PLEASE READ, IT WILL HELP! Truthfully I was skeptical when the tour started, we were the last boat to the area and the last in the water and you could see everyone getting a little edgy seeing other groups experiencing the odd Manta whilst we were still on deck. The staff kept telling us to relax, it would be great. When we finally got in the water we waited a short while for the first Manta and it is exciting, however we didn’t know what was to come. Their plan worked a treat, the other boats all started to leave as they are
On strict timeframes (although we didn’t realise this with our heads down) and we were swarmed by Mantas. The crew counted 7, I thought there were more but perhaps that was my excitement. These giants come so close you can’t believe they don’t touch you belly to belly as they barrel roll. THIS IS AN UNBELIEVABLE EXPERIENCE. The crew are very careful not to damage the environment with their anchor placement and so respectful of the Mantas. I cannot recommend this experience or this operator enough.
STILL SMILING

Naalapa Stables Kohala Horseback Riding Tour on Kahua Ranch

Will Come Again

Reviewed by: Ming Chai

I went here with my daughter because she rides and loves horses, and insists on riding horses once every trip. This time though, she wanted to canter because most trail rides are scenic and she wanted a actual ride. This place has amazing horses and the views are great, and you have a option to canter or take it slow. They assign you a horse based on what you need. Would definitely come here again, and probably will, because we visit Hawaii every once in a while .

Hawaii Island Wild Dolphin & Kealakekua Bay Snorkeling Tour <Morning / English Guide / Light Snack Included> ハワイ島 野生のイルカ&ケアラケクア湾 シュノーケリングツアー<午前/英語ガイド/軽食付>

First, we boarded a six-person boat and headed out to sea. There, we received instructions on how to wear a wetsuit and snorkel. Even though the sea wasn't too rough, the boat was still swaying a bit, and I started to feel a little seasick. After that, they took us to the dolphin point. Since this point is the same as many other tours, there were a lot of Japanese people there (laughs).

There were really many dolphins, and I was able to swim with one that came close. However, just floating on the waves made me feel nauseous, which was tough. After seeing the dolphins, we returned to the original shore for a 15-minute break. During that time, I felt better and really enjoyed snorkeling while watching tropical fish and coral.

Of course, I paid a little over 10% of the fee as a tip at the end.

まず6人乗りのボートに乗り、沖まで行きました。そこでウエットスーツとシュノーケリングの仕方の説明を聞きます。そんなに海が荒れてなくても揺れますので少し酔い始めました。その後イルカのポイントまで連れてってくれます。ポイントは色んなツアーと同じなので日本人が沢山いました(笑)
イルカは本当に沢山います、近くに来たイルカと泳ぐ事も出来ました、しかしに波に浮かんでるだけでも酔ってきて辛かったです。イルカを見た後一度元の岸に戻り15分休憩、その時に酔いはとれ熱帯魚と珊瑚を見るシュノーケリングもとても楽しめました、
勿論チップは料金の1割ちょい最後に払いました

King Kayak Hawaii - Keauhou Bay Kayaking & Snorkeling Tour

Kayaking and snorkeling in Kona

Reviewed by: Mbowma

Wonderful time. Had Kevin and Andre as our guides. They were wonderful and knowledgeable about the area. We were in very good hands. I didn’t listen and left my Apple Watch on when cliff jumping and sure enough it came off. I was sad but it was really my own fault. Kevin took pity on me and was able to find it!! Absolutely above and beyond what I would have expected. Great excursion, lots of fish, fun facts. We felt safe and well looked after the whole time. 10/10 would recommend.

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>

Because they are living creatures of nature. 自然の生きものなので

Reviewed by: 旅人初心者

On the day, it was quite difficult to find dolphins. The guide communicated with other boats and made every effort to search for them. As a result, we were able to see a rare bottlenose dolphin just in time, and I am grateful for that encounter.
However, it felt more like "seeing dolphins swimming underwater" rather than "swimming with dolphins." Also, when the search for dolphins takes a long time like this, there is hardly any time left to enjoy snorkeling. If you don't take that into consideration, you might feel a bit disappointed.
Additionally, I personally didn't have any tips prepared, which I regretted. While it's not something you have to pay, I think it's nice to give a little something to the guide and the boat driver who worked hard for us. It would be smart to prepare a tip in addition to the fee.

当日はなかなかイルカが見つからず…。ガイドさんが他の船と連絡を取り合い、心をつくして探してくださいました。結果、ぎりぎりのところで珍しいバンドウイルカが見られ、出会いに感謝です。
ただ、「イルカと泳ぐ」ではなく、「水中で泳いでいくイルカを見る」イメージになります。また、今回のようにイルカ探しの時間が長くなると、シュノーケルを楽しむ時間はほとんどありません。それらを了承しないと空振り感があるかも。
また、私的にはチップの用意がなく、しまったなぁという思いです。払わないといけないものではないですが、いろいろ考えて動いてくださったガイドさんや船の運転手さんにぜひ心付けを。代金とは別に、チップをご用意をされていくとスマートかと思います。

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>

A lot of manta rays are swirling around!! たくさんのマンタがくるくる!!

Reviewed by: なつみ

In the summer sea, you can enjoy the sunset and stay in the water for 45 minutes without it being too cold. They keep the lights on in the water, so many manta rays swim close by. They spin around right in front of you, showing off their playful spirit. On the boat, there are light snacks available, such as drinks, fruits, and chips. It's all in English, but it's easy to understand and fun. If you're prone to seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must. Keauhou Bay is quite far, so it's fine for those staying at the Sheraton, but others will need to rent a car.

夏の海、サンセットもみれて、そんなに冷たくない海で45分つかります。
海ではずっとライトをつけてくれるのでたくさんのマンタが近くを通ってくれます。
目の前でくるくる回ってくれたりサービス精神旺盛でした。
船では飲み物やフルーツ、チップスなどの軽食サービスもあります。
英語オンリーですが、わかりやすいし楽しいです。
船酔いしやすい人は酔い止め必須です。
ケアウホウベイはかなり遠いので、シェラトンの人は隣でいいけどそれ以外の宿泊の人はレンタカーが必要ですね。

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>

I wonder if it's not worth asking for it after all... わざわざ頼むほどでないのかなと・・

Reviewed by: のりこ

About 30 minutes before the gathering time, there were quite a few people in line, and in total, I think there were over 200 people at a glance. The buffet area was very small, and we had to go to each table to get our food. The taste was okay, but I didn't feel like going back for seconds. Beer and other drinks were all-you-can-drink.

The show itself was average, and it didn't really get the whole venue excited. From the poolside, depending on the room, you can see it better than being in the venue. Since we were staying at this hotel, I felt that it would have been sufficient to watch from the poolside.

集合時間の30分前には結構多くの人が並んでいて、最終的には軽く見ても200人以上はいたと思います。ビュッフェ会場はとても小さくて、テーブルごとに料理を取りに行かされました。味はまあまあでしたが、私はおかわりがほしいとは思いませんでした。ビールなどは飲み放題です。
ショーの内容は普通で、会場全体が盛り上がるというほどではありません。
プールサイドからも、部屋によっては会場にいるより、しっかり見ることができます。私達はこのホテルに泊まっていたので、申し訳ないですが、これならプールサイドからで十分だったなあと思いました。

ハワイ島 ジップライン体験8本 ワールド・ボタニカル・ガーデンの中を滑走 <英語インストラクター>

A bit disappointed. ちょっと 失望

Reviewed by: しゅん

I was really looking forward to the zip line.

I felt anxious participating since there were only English-speaking instructors, but my son was shocked to hear the other American participants and the instructors laughing and talking together. He heard someone say, "I'm a monkey from Japan, yay!" ... My son is 12 years old and understands a little English conversation. Fortunately, the female instructor was a bit considerate. It's very disappointing, but I have no words to express it.

ジップライン 大変楽しみにしていました。

英語のインストラクターしかいない事に不安を感じつつ参加しましたが、 英語を話せない日本人という事で、 参加している他のアメリカ人の参加者とインストラクターが話をして大笑いしている内容を聞いて息子がショック受けていました。 「 私は日本から来た猿ですウキウキ!」との発言をしている言葉を聞いて・・ 息子は12歳ですが英会話が少し解るのです。 女性のインストラクターが少し気を使って頂けたのが幸いでした。 非常に残念ですが 話す言葉がありません。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー 滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く!<午前・午後/英語ガイド/食事付>by フェアウィンド号

The children were very satisfied. 子どもも大満足でした

Reviewed by: かじかじ

This was my second time participating. Although only English is spoken, they responded politely even with my broken language, which made me feel at ease. My 6-year-old and 8-year-old had a blast sliding down the slide on the boat and jumping off the diving board. The hamburger lunch, with burgers grilled on the boat, was also fantastic. I will definitely participate again when I go to Hawaii Island.

今回は2回目の参加でした。英語しか通じないですが、片言でも丁寧に対応してくれて、安心して参加できます。6歳と8歳の子どもも船の滑り台から滑ったり、飛び込み台からジャンプしたりと大はしゃぎでした。船上で焼いてくれるハンバーガーをはさんでのハンバーガーの昼食も最高です。またハワイ島に行く時は参加します。
