I participated in a morning tour. It took less than an hour on a larger boat to reach the snorkeling point. There were chairs and tables in the cabin on the first floor where we could have breakfast and lunch, and since there was only one snorkeling spot, we were able to relax and enjoy it. The water at the spot was clear, and there were plenty of fish.
午前中のツアーに参加しました。大きめの船でシュノーケルポイントまで1時間弱。
1階の船室で椅子・テーブルがあり朝、昼飯が食べれ、ポイントも一か所なのてゆっくり出来て良かったです。
ポイントも水が澄んでいて魚もいっぱいです。

Our driver and tour host presented us with a very interesting and colorful history of the Big Island. He had a great sense of humor too! He paced the trip on the attendees, when there was an obvious interest in an area. This tour is a good for those wanting to get a broad acquaintance with the Big Island and it's various areas and interests. It was our springboard for other activities!

We had a wonderful day touring historic and sacred sites as well as Greenwell Farms and Big Island Bees. Our guide, Kawika, was highly knowledgeable about the areas visited and wove together an interesting narrative of the traditions, the myths, and the historical facts of Hawai’i. His personality fit very well with the people in our group, so it was enjoyable and personable as well. Greenwell Farms and Big Island Bees were beautiful and I bought coffee and honey to take home with me. I recommend this tour. We did a half day, but a full day with Kawika would be just as informative and entertaining.

This excursion was very nice. If you get seasick I recommend the wristbands. I bought mine at a store prior, but they sell them at the check in booth. Their whole staff were so nice. By far the nicest crew. They were very attentive. Always making sure u didn't need anything. The music was excellent and our speaker Micheala was the sweetest and very informative about the island. She even did a hula dance for us right before we left. The food and the sunset were great. I recommend this one for sure :)))

It was an amazing experience ! Like an underwater ballet with a bit of adrenaline because even you know that rays are completely harmless and gentle you are still swimming in the middle of the ocean at night .There were at least 25 of them that night passing sometimes within an inch of our biddies, it felt like gentle caressing. I think it was my favorite activity and we did practically everything there is to be done on the Island (from extreme to leisure ) Definitely recomend it

The hula dance and fire action were beautiful, powerful, and very entertaining. The food and drinks were quite ordinary, but I think the service was pretty good. If you have the time, I recommend arriving a little before the meeting time. Seats are assigned in the order of arrival, so this time we were in the front row. Because of that, we were able to enjoy a spectacular show.
フラダンスとファイアーアクションは、きれいで迫力があり、とても面白いです。
食事とお酒はごく普通の内容ですが、サービスはかなり良いと思います。
余裕があれば集合時間の少し前に行った方が良いと思います。席は並んでいる順番で前から案内されるため、今回は一番前の席でした。
そのかいあって、迫力満点のショーを楽しめました。

My wife and I participated together. Due to traveling from Japan the day before, I was sleep-deprived, possibly because of jet lag, and ended up feeling seasick despite the boat not rocking much. I ate the breakfast bread served on board and saw dolphins from the boat, but other than that, I mostly slept.
However, my wife, who loves marine sports, was able to see several dolphins swimming very close by. When we anchored near a cape about an hour away from the pier in Kona, she was very satisfied as she used a snorkel to dive. It seems that for those who already enjoy marine sports, this tour offers a high level of satisfaction.
The staff, who at first glance appeared intimidating, were actually quite kind. While I was waiting for the restroom to become available on the boat, one of the staff quickly noticed and guided me to another restroom. Most participants were American families (Caucasian), but according to my wife, there was an elderly woman of Indian or Southeast Asian descent who seemed to struggle with swimming, yet the staff provided significant support for her diving experience. They are well-prepared to accommodate beginners. However, everything is in English, and they speak quite fast.
Since we were in open waters, there were concerns about sharks, but we were instructed to never stray far from the boat, ensuring safety.
So, originally, I would give this a five-star rating, but due to my seasickness, I have to deduct one star. Since it’s a morning tour, make sure to go to bed early the night before and get plenty of sleep.
妻と二人で参加しました。前日日本からの移動のため、時差ボケのためか寝不足のままツアー参加となり、大した揺れでもないのに私は船酔い。船内で出された朝食のパンを食べ、船内からイルカの姿を見た以外は、ほとんど寝ているという有様。
しかし、もともとマリンスポーツ大好きな妻は、すぐ近くで泳ぐイルカを何頭も見ることができ、コナのピアから1時間ほど船で移動した岬の近くに停泊したときには、シュノーケルを使って潜るなど、大満足。もともとマリンスポーツが好きな人には、かなり満足度が高いツアーのようです。
スタッフも一見コワモテに見えるお兄さんばかりでしたが、実際のところはかなり親切。私が船内のトイレが空くのを待っていたら、目ざとく見つけて別のトイレを案内してくれました。参加者のほとんどはアメリカ人(白人)の家族連れでしたが、妻によるとインドか東南アジア系の老婦人がいて、泳ぎが全くダメそうだったけどスタッフがかなりサポートして潜る体験もできたそう。初心者向けの対応もしっかりしています。ただし、全部英語です。しかもしゃべりが速い。
外洋なのでサメが怖いけど、船の周りからは絶対離れないようにとの指導もあり、安全性も確保されていたようです。
というわけで、本来星5つのことろ、私の船酔いのせいでマイナス1。朝出発のツアーなので、前日は早めに寝てしっかり睡眠をとりましょう。

It was the most amazing experience and our guides, Kat and Rob made the whole experience so pleasant. We highly recommend this trip!!!!

It was disappointing that the sea wasn't very beautiful due to the cloudy weather, but I enjoyed a relaxing cruise and snorkeling. You need to get to the meeting point on your own (I took a round-trip bus. I got a bit flustered when I mistakenly went to the wrong bus stop on the way back). The staff primarily speak English, but if you print out your reservation details and show them at the counter, it's fine even if you can't speak English (I can't speak it at all). Also, I forgot to make the pre-call by the day before, but it was no problem when I arrived at the meeting point an hour early on the day of the tour. There seemed to be over 50 people on the tour, and we were the only Japanese, but the local staff were very accommodating and seemed familiar with Japanese people, so there were no issues.
当日は曇っていた為、海がそこまできれいではなかったのが残念でしたが、のんびりクルージングとシュノーケルが楽しめました。
集合場所までは自力で行く必要があります(往復バスで行きました。帰りのバス乗り場を間違えてちょっと焦りました)。スタッフは基本英語ですが、事前に予約内容を印刷していきカウンターで見せれば英語が話せなくても問題ありません(自分は全く話せません)。また、前日までの事前電話を忘れてしまっていたのですが、当日1時間早く集合場所へ行ったら問題ありませんでした。ツアーは50人以上いたようで、日本人は自分たちだけでしたが、現地スタッフは非常に対応が良く、日本人にも慣れているようで問題ありませんでした。

As soon as we gathered, they kindly and concisely taught us how to use the snorkel and tips for spotting dolphins. We headed to the dolphin encounter spot in about 30 minutes on a high-speed jet.
From the start, we encountered many pods of dolphins. The captain made several moves with the boat, about 4 to 5 times, to get us as close as possible to the dolphins, and at each spot, we met many dolphins. The guide also entered the water with us and helped lead us close to the dolphins. The water was clear and beautiful. At the final spot, a large dolphin swam right beneath us, which was truly moving. Overall, I think we encountered over 50 dolphins, and we could even hear their sounds underwater.
The view of the sea from the boat was also very beautiful. Although I felt a bit anxious about snorkeling for the first time and swimming after a long time, after encountering so many dolphins, I wanted to swim even more. Both the captain and the guide were kind. I definitely want to participate again.
集合して直ぐに、シュノーケルの使い方や、イルカを見つけたときのポイントなどを、簡潔かつ丁寧に教えてくださいました。イルカと出会えるスポットまで約30分、高速ジェットで向かいました。
最初から、たくさんのイルカの群れと遭遇しました。キャプテンはたくさんのイルカとなるべく近くに行けるようにと、その後4〜5回は船で移動を繰り返してくれて、どのスポットもたくさんのイルカと出会いました。ガイドさんも一緒に海に入り、イルカの近くに誘導して下さいました。海の中も透明できれいでした。最後スポットでは、自分たちのちょうど真下を大きなイルカが通り過ぎてくれて感動しました。総じて50頭以上と出会えたと思います。海の中で鳴き声も聞こえました。
船から見える海もとても美しかったです。初めてのシュノーケリング、久しぶりに泳ぐことで若干不安がありましたが、たくさんのイルカと遭遇してからはもっと泳ぎたいと思いました。
キャプテンもガイドさんも親切でした。是非また参加したいです。
