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。

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＞

The progression of the show was good. ショーの進行が良かった

Reviewed by: ハワイ島好きなmasa

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

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 .

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＞

I could see manta rays from a distance, but it was the worst tour. マンタは遠目に見れたが最悪のツアー

Reviewed by: あいう

It was the worst. First of all, the boat was probably over capacity. We were crammed in tightly, and those who couldn't sit had to sit on the steps. We were told to take off our flip-flops before getting on the boat. Those wearing water shoes were allowed to keep them on. For nearly 30 minutes, I was trying to avoid seasickness by staring into the distance in such a cramped space. When we arrived at the spot, we entered the water, but instead of swimming, we had to hold onto a rope and stay in a stretched-out position. (There was no space between us and the person next to us, so we were constantly bumping into each other.) Kicking our legs was prohibited. We had to maintain that position for about 50 minutes. It was really tough, and it got quite cold. I have experience with snorkeling and diving and was confident in my stamina, but this type of tour was a first for me, and I was quite exhausted.

Moreover, the descriptions stated things like "You can see mantas up close" and "First-timers will be well supported and feel safe!" and "The boat is comfortable," but the mantas didn't come close at all, there was no reassuring support, and a cramped boat with people so close together was anything but comfortable. It's understandable that mantas, being wild animals, might not show up, but it seemed like the divers below were trying to lure them in. However, the bubbles from their exhaled air kept rising towards us, making it impossible to see any mantas. I could only confirm the presence of a manta below with light about three times. After returning to the boat, someone ended up vomiting (which is understandable after maintaining that floating position for 50 minutes), but the tour staff aggressively washed the vomit away with water right at our feet. We almost ended up with "sympathy vomit," so we moved away from our seats. The vomit was not completely cleaned up, and there were remnants scattered at our feet. Later, we were told, "If you feel sick, please use this bucket." I think such information should have been communicated before departure. The person who vomited likely didn't have any instructions on where to go, which is why they ended up vomiting on the boat. I couldn't walk barefoot over the scattered vomit, so I had to stand instead of sitting. There was no consideration from the tour staff regarding this, and we ended up sitting on the hard ground on the way back. Although there were cushions on the seats, we endured about 30 minutes on the hard ground while being rocked by the rough waves. It was really tough.

To begin with, they packed us in over capacity, so there was no preparation for emergencies like this. Despite paying a good amount, we ended up sitting on the ground on the way back, which was just the worst. They mentioned that light snacks would be provided, but all we got were peanuts. The tour was from 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM, so I was expecting a simple dinner (like sandwiches or burgers), but peanuts... I was really frustrated with this tour despite paying a good amount. If they are going to provide details about the tour, they should specify what kind of viewing method it involves and that the light snacks are not a dinner, so we should eat beforehand. For those hoping to swim with mantas, please be careful, as that is not the case.

最悪だった。まずボートは恐らく定員オーバー。キツキツに詰められて、さらに座れない人は段差に座る羽目に。ビーチサンダルはボートに乗る前に脱ぐように言われます。海用シューズを履いていた人はそのままでOKでした。30分近く窮屈な中、船酔いしないように遠くを眺めてました。ポイントについて海に入りますが、泳ぐのではなく紐に捕まって蹴伸びの状態。（隣の人との間隔がないので常にぶつかってます）足をバタつかせるのは禁止。そのまま約50分キープする体制です。とにかくその体制はきついです。そしてかなり冷えます。シュノーケルやダイビングをよく体験していて体力には自信がありましたが、このような体制のツアーは初めてだったのでかなり疲れました。そして、記載されていた【マンタが手の届く程近くで見れる】や【初めての方もしっかりサポートで安心！】【船上も快適】など書いてありましたが、マンタが手の近くまで来ることもなく、安心のサポートもなく、あんな人と人が密着してる窮屈な船上が快適なわけありません。マンタは自然の動物なので、現れなかった。と言うのは仕方ないですが、ダイビングの人が下でマンタをおびき寄せてたみたいですが、その人たちが吐く空気の泡が私たちの方に上がってくるので全くマンタを見ることができませんでした。3回くらい下にいたマンタを光で確認できた程度。そして船に戻ってから吐いてしまった人がいて（流石に50分も浮いた状態をキープするのは気持ち悪くなるのでそれは仕方ないですが）その人のゲロを私たちの足元にツアーの人が水で勢いよく流してきました。貰いゲロをしそうだったので私たちは席から離れました。ゲロは完全に処理されず、足元には流れきれなかったものがあちこちに。そしてあとから「気持ち悪い人はこのバケツに吐いてください」と。そういうのは出発前に伝えるべきだったと思う。吐いた人もそのような説明がなく、どこに吐いていいかわからなくて、船の上に吐いてしまったのだと思う。そして散らばったゲロの上を裸足で歩くのはさすがに私にはできなかったので、座る場所を奪われ立っていました。それに対してツアーの人たちの配慮がなく、私たちは地べたに座って帰りました。イスにはクッションが敷いてありますが、私たちは硬い地べたの上で荒波に揺られながら約30分間も耐えていました。本当にきつかったです。そもそも定員オーバーで人を詰め込んでいるから、万が一のこういう時の備えがない。いい金額を払っているのにもかかわらず、帰りは地べたに座る羽目なんて最悪すぎました。そして軽食が出ると書いてありますが、出してきたのはピーナッツ。17:30〜21:00までのツアーだったので、簡単な夜ご飯（サンドイッチやハンバーガー系のもの）が配られるのを期待していましたが、ピーナッツって、、、って思いました。とにかくいい金額を払っているのに、このツアーにはイライラしかしませんでした。ツアーの詳細を記載するなら、どのような見学方法なのかとか、軽食は夕食ではないから済ませて来いなど書いておくべきだと思います。マンタと一緒に泳げると思って参加を希望している人は、そうではないので気をつけてください。

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＞

I wanted to see Rolling. ローリングが見たかった

Reviewed by: 旅人初心者

I understand that it's nature and you can't control it, but honestly, I was expecting to see a bit more, so I felt a bit unsatisfied. We floated on the surface for over 40 minutes, catching sight of a manta ray three times at the edge of our vision, and towards the end, one manta passed quite far below our group. We were so disappointed with the lack of sightings that when we finally saw one, we were like, "Wow!"

The guide was very considerate and polite, which was great. I want to improve my luck with manta rays and try again. There was a little girl, around elementary school age, in our group who started to cry from the cold halfway through. The night sea can be tough for small children.

Also, I think it's a good idea to prepare tips for the local staff. After returning to the port, the guide mentioned, "If you'd like to give something to the driver," and some people were caught off guard. It's not something you have to do, but being able to do this smoothly feels smart. On the day, you will be taken care of by about three to four people, including the guide, the boat driver, and the shuttle staff, so I recommend it.

自然の生きもの相手なのでしょうがないと分かってはいるものの、正直もう少し見られるかと思っていたので物足りない感。
40分以上海面を漂って、視界の端にマンタをとらえること3回、終わり頃に1度だけ自分たちのグループの下（かなり下）をマンタが通過していきました。あまりに見られなかったので、そのときには「おおっ！」となりましたが…。
ガイドさんは気遣いのある丁寧な方でとても良かったです。自分のマンタ運を高めて、またチャレンジしたいです。
一緒のグループで参加されていた小学生くらいのお嬢さんが、途中から寒い寒いと半泣き状態でした。夜の海は小さいお子さんにはつらいかもしれません。
また、現地スタッフさんへのチップをご用意されておくと良いかと思います。帰港後ガイドさんに「運転手さんに良かったら」と言われ、あわてている方も。必ず渡すべきものではありませんが、こういうのがすっとできるとスマートな気がします。ガイドさん、船の運転手さん、送迎のお兄さんなど、当日は3〜4名の方にお世話になりますので、ぜひ。

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。

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。

Since it’s nature, there are days when you might not see dolphins, but I was able to see them about three times! They were incredibly fast. Additionally, I also got to see a manta ray. My husband said he even heard the dolphins' voices.

Thank you, Nawata, Naoko, and Rei. Since I can’t swim, I was able to see the dolphins thanks to Naoko pulling me toward them. The breeze on the water felt so good. The time flew by. I also really enjoyed the stories about warriors and scary tales with Rei. By the way, Rei was quite handsome! I want to see whales too, so if I can go back to the Big Island, I would love to join this tour again.

About 30 minutes to an hour by boat, we encountered a pod of 100 to 200 dolphins. They were jumping and spinning all around, and I was already moved before even entering the water. Once in the water, I swam a little, and there were so many dolphins swimming right in front of me; it was incredibly touching. They were so close that I felt I could almost reach out and touch them!

Since I was in a wetsuit, I felt safe entering the water as it helped me float. Some people who were not confident swimmers were worried, but in addition to the wetsuits, they provided floatation devices, and the guide pulled the floatation device for them, which made them very happy to see the dolphins up close.

Our guide, Ray, was very engaging and considerate during the trip, making it a comfortable and enjoyable experience. It would be a real shame not to participate in a dolphin tour while visiting the Big Island!

We either need to delay the start to 8:30 PM or reschedule for another day." I ended up waiting for two hours and agreed to push it to 8:30 PM. I killed time at the beach, and when I returned to the meeting point around 8:00 PM, I was told, "We can't set sail due to maintenance issues." (However, there were many boats at the port, but none had their lights on, and I suspect they weren't even preparing to set sail.)

I was told I would receive a refund for the tour fee and a free participation in the next tour. This is unacceptable. It's the worst. According to the guide, "This shouldn't happen, but it occasionally does."

Considering what I had to give up and compromise to participate in the manta tour, and how everything was ruined due to the cancellation, a refund of just the tour fee is not enough. Who would want to spend time and money to come back to the Big Island and book a tour with a company that treated them this way? 1) It's not guaranteed that I can come to the Big Island multiple times in my life. 2) Even if I do come, I don't know if the manta tour will still be available. 3) I also don't know if the tour company (Dolphin University) will still be around in a few years. If the system changes, how will they manage the "people who get to go for free"?

I consulted with the emergency contact for the night, but I decided to skip the manta tour during my stay in Hawaii. I am not satisfied with this response, so I expressed my desire to have the facts confirmed and shared within the tour company and to discuss the response with someone in a higher position, but I received no follow-up, and only the tour fee was refunded via Veltra.

If the reason was natural, like not encountering mantas or being unable to set sail due to a hurricane, I would be disappointed but understand. However, this time it was completely a human error. I think the response was lacking in consideration. My excitement was completely ruined. I was very sad.

星１つもつけれません。
18時過ぎに集合場所に着いた途端、「事前にちゃんと連携が取れておらず船の手配が出来ていない。20:30開始に遅らせるか、別日にずらさせてほしい」と言われ2時間待って20:30にずらすことに。ビーチで時間を潰し20:00過ぎに再び集合場所に戻ると「船のメンテナンスの都合で出航できない」と。（ただ、港にはたくさん船がありましたが、どれも電気はついておらず、出航の準備すらしていないのではないかと疑っています）
ツアー代金の返金と次回ツアー参加無料と言われました。折り合いがつかない。最悪。ガイドさん曰く「よくあっちゃいけないけど、たまにあるんです」とのこと。
マンタツアーに参加する為に諦めたもの妥協したもの、不催行のせいで台無しになったものを考えるとツアー代金のみの返金では足りない。それにこんな仕打ちをされたツアー会社に誰がもう一度、時間とお金をかけてハワイ島に来てツアーを申し込むでしょうか。①人生のうち何度もハワイ島に来れるとは限らない②来たとしてもマンタツアーが存続してるか分からない③そもそもツアー会社（イルカ大学）自体も数年後に存続してるか不明。体制が変わったりした際、どのように「無料にしてあげる人」を管理するのでしょうか。
夜間緊急連絡先とも相談しましたが、今回ハワイにいる期間でのマンタツアーは見送ることに。この対応には納得していないので、ツアー会社内で事実経緯確認、共有してもらった上で、対応について上席の人と話したいと伝えましたが、何も音沙汰無く、ツアー代金のみveltra経由で返金されました。
海に出たけどマンタに出会えなかった、ハリケーンが来ていて出航出来なかった等、自然が理由なら残念ですが仕方ありません。ただ、今回は完全に人的ミス。対応に配慮が足りないと思う。楽しみにしていた気持ちが台無し。とても悲しかったです。

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

Great experience

Reviewed by: Randi

My husband and I moved to Kailua-Kona last year and are still in discovery mode, so we were happy to play tourist for a day to join this tour. Although the rides were long (it is a big island), the stops were all interesting and worthwhile, the other guests were friendly and engaged, and - notwithstanding all of our pre-move diligence and studying - we learned a ton from our fabulous tour guide, Kent. Kent was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, engaged, warm, and courteous - we thoroughly appreciated the positive impact he had on the day's adventures.

ケアウホウ湾シーカヤック＆シュノーケルツアー　海中洞窟探検プランあり　＜早朝・午前／日本語ガイド＞by キング・カヤック・ハワイ

The guide speaks Japanese well, which is reassuring. 日本語が上手なガイドで安心

Reviewed by: ヒロ。

The wave conditions were checked in advance, and the time was changed to an earlier slot, but the waves were calm and it was fantastic. It was my first time kayaking in the ocean, so my body was sore afterward, but snorkeling in the sea was amazing. Sunscreen is absolutely necessary. Even with it on, I got quite sunburned.

事前に波の状態をみて早めの時間変更となったが波も穏やかで最高でした。海でのカヤックは初めてだったので後日体が痛くなりましたが、シュノーケルでの海は最高でした。日焼け止めは絶対に必要です。塗ってもかなり焼けました。

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＞

Wonderful experience! 素晴らしい体験！

Reviewed by: 茶々ジジ

Before it started, there was a lecture about marine life. The instructor explained in simple English, but since my second grader and kindergartener weren't very familiar with English, they seemed quite confused. I think it would have been better if the explanation was given at a slower pace, perhaps with a picture book or something to show. We managed to get through that time, and then it was off to the Dolphin Lagoon. The dolphins were really smart and interacted in various ways. We could touch their bellies, faces, pectoral fins, and tails, and the photographer was ready to capture each child's best shot. We enjoyed it for over 20 minutes, and the kids were very satisfied. We were also able to freely take videos and photos, and of course, we could purchase the snapshots and image data taken by the staff. I thought it was great that the program was designed specifically for the kids, focusing on their perspective. Both of my children agreed that the most fun part of our trip to the Big Island was the Dolphin Quest! We truly had a wonderful time.

始まる前に、海に生物についてレクチャーがあります。簡単な英語でインストラクターさんが説明している様子でしたが、英語にそれほどなじめていない小２と年長なので、けっこうポカンとしていました。もう少しゆっくりとした口調で、絵本とか何か見せながらの説明であれば、なお良かったと思います。なんとか、その時間をやり過ごし、いざドルフィンラグーンへ。いろいろなふれあいのパターンをしてくれて本当にお利口なイルカでした。お腹や顔、胸ヒレ、尾ビレとタッチができ、それぞれの子供のベストショットを狙って、カメラマンもスタンバイ。20分以上、十分に楽しむことができ、子供たちも大満足でした。その様子は、ビデオやカメラで自由に撮ることもできましたし、もちろん撮ってもらったスナップ写真や画像データの購入もできました。子供たちだけのグループで、子供目線でのプログラムが良かったと思います。二人の「ハワイ島旅行で１番の楽しかったこと♪」が「ドルフィン・クエスト♪」で一致！本当に素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。

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 ocean in Hawaii, the grass, the rainbow, and the Hawaiian show were great. ハワイの海　芝生　虹　ハワイアンショー　良かったです

Reviewed by: toshi

I chose the King Kamehameha Hotel because I wanted to see the show.
We were supposed to gather at 5:30, but by 5:00, there was a long line at the meeting place.
We sit in the order we lined up for the seats in the show venue.
We go to the grassy area to get dinner and drinks in order.
The venue is very close to the ocean, near the home of King Kamehameha. The breeze was refreshing.

◎本ショーを見学したくて、キングカメハメハホテルを選択しました。
◎五時半集合でしたが、５時には集合場所が、長蛇の列でした。
◎並んだ順番に、基本　ショー会場の席に座ります。
◎芝生エリアに、夕食と飲み物を、順番にとりに行きます。
◎会場は海が直ぐ近くで、カメハメハ王の家の近く。風が清々しかったです。

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＞

The sunset is wonderful. 夕日が素晴らしい

Reviewed by: わたりん

Staying at Royal Kona was very convenient. I lined up early after reading the reviews and was able to get a spot relatively close to the front. As it started, the sunset was beautiful, and I was captivated by the stunning view. The meal was served in a way where we went to get it in order of seating, so it wasn't too crowded. The taste was good as well. The song "Number One Day of Christmas" was amusing and stuck in my head, and my family and I found ourselves humming it.

ロイヤルコナに泊まっていたので、とても便利でした。クチコミを見て早めに並び、わりと前の方で見ることができました。
始まる頃に夕日が沈み、素晴らしい景色にうっとり。
食事は座席順に取りに行く形でしたのでそれほど混むこともなかったです。
味も良かったですよ。
ナンバーワンデイオブクリスマスの歌が面白くて、耳に残り、家族で口ずさんでました。
