Kona Morning Makalawena Snorkeling Cruise to Puu Alii Bay - Ocean Encounters

Never thought I would see that many

More dolphins then I had ever imagined. The guides knew what they were doing and were polite enough to ask whether they could fish while heading out to the spot.

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 show itself and the overall atmosphere were great. ショー自体も、全体の雰囲気もよかったです。

Reviewed by: りびどー

On the day we arrived on the Big Island, I was anxious about whether we would make it in time since we had a reservation, but I was relieved to see that there was still a line even at the start time. The show, which began with the ocean and sunset as a backdrop, was filled with a natural atmosphere where everyone, including the guests, seemed to be enjoying themselves. The hula dance was, of course, impressive, and the fire show was breathtaking. I was also a bit concerned about the restrooms, but the toilets on the first floor of the hotel were comfortable to use. I thought it could be a bit cheaper, possibly due to the weak yen, but overall, I was satisfied.

ハワイ島についた日に予約していたので、間に合うかひやひやでしたが、スタート時間でもまだ行列がつづいていて、逆に安心しました。海と夕日をバックにはじまるショーは、お客さんもふくめて自然体に楽しもうという雰囲気に満ちていてよかったです。フラダンスはもちろん、ファイヤーショーも圧巻でした。そして、ちょっと気にしていたお手洗いも、ホテルの１階のトイレが使えて快適でした。円安のせいもあるのか、もうちょっと安ければとも思いましたが満足でした。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾　シュノーリングツアー ＜軽食付き／英語ガイド＞

The coral reefs in Keauhou were wonderful. ケアウホウのサンゴ礁は素晴らしかったです

Reviewed by: IDDI

We sped across the ocean for about 30 minutes in a rubber boat that holds around 14 people. I could see the speedometer, and it seemed we were going about 40 mph, which felt similar to driving on the road.

We were able to snorkel at Keauhou and Kealakekua. Both locations had beautiful coral reefs and high water clarity. At Keauhou, we were able to see sea turtles swimming leisurely, making it a very satisfying tour.

However, it seemed that the reception and guides had no knowledge of Japanese, and since we are not very proficient in English, we could hardly understand the guide's explanations. That said, they did communicate the essential information (like safety tips for snorkeling) using simple words that we could understand, which was reassuring.

14人乗りぐらいのゴムボートで30分ぐらい、海の上を疾走します。スピードメーターが見えましたが、40mphぐらい出ていたため、車で道路を走っているのと同じぐらいのスピードが出ていたようです。
シュノーケリングはケアウホウとケアラケクアでさせてもらえました。どちらもサンゴ礁が広がり、水の透明度も高く素晴らしかったです。ケアウホウではウミガメがゆったりと泳ぐ姿を見ることができ、とても満足のいくツアーでした。

ただし、受付やガイドの方は日本語が全くダメなようで、英語が得意でない私たちはガイドの説明がほとんど理解できませんでした。とはいえ、本当に伝えないといけないこと（シュノーケリング時の注意事項など）はちゃんとこちらが分かるように簡単な単語で言ってくれるので、その点は安心できました。

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 thrilling and fun tour beyond my expectations. 予想以上にスリル満点で楽しいツアーでした

Reviewed by: kazuyo

I participated on June 15th. The weather was a mix of cloudy and sunny, which was just perfect for heading out to sea.

From the meeting point at the marina, we boarded a 16-person inflatable boat (although once the engine started, it felt more like a large motorboat zooming along). The captain and a female assistant explained the safety instructions (all in English). Japanese participants were given a written guide in Japanese beforehand, but once you're out at sea, you won't have the luxury of reading it, so I recommend checking in a bit early to read it over.

The captain explained things with gestures, saying things like "put your feet here" and "hold on to this," so you don't need to worry too much if your English isn't great. The crew was very friendly.

As we departed the marina and picked up speed, the boat bounced over the waves, sending up sprays of white water—truly exhilarating! It felt just like being on a theme park ride.

Along the way, we stopped near a hotel where mantas could be seen, and got close to the lava cliffs, where they explained how these cave-like holes formed along the coast. I've participated in several snorkeling tours like this before, but this time on the ZoaTic, the small, agile boat allowed us to get close to the cliffs and see the stunning scenery up close, which was fantastic.

I had thought we would enter the caves, so I was a bit disappointed that we only viewed them from the outside. I wish we could have gone a little further inside.

After that, we went to Kealakekua Bay, where we anchored the boat for some free snorkeling time. I was hoping the dolphins would swim by, but unfortunately, they didn't come close.

Underwater, there were colorful fish and turtles swimming around, making it very mystical and beautiful. Hawaii Island has many power spots, and the ocean is truly healing as well.

Since it was a small group, I felt reassured that the crew was keeping an eye on us, and they provided all the necessary equipment, so you can go with just yourself. In fact, since the boat is small, it might be better not to bring large bags (it's best to leave unnecessary items in the car).

I brought a quick-dry towel and an underwater camera. When entering the water, I wore a long-sleeve rash guard and gloves. Even after getting out, while enjoying sandwiches, fruit, and water, my rash guard dried off.

Even with a hat and all that protection, being out on the sea for nearly five hours can lead to quite a sunburn.

As we were getting ready to head back, some cute dolphins appeared and jumped around. Although I couldn't swim with them, I had a wonderful time.

The return boat ride was thrilling and fast. I would love to participate again if I go back to Hawaii Island. Next time, I definitely want to swim with the dolphins!

６月１５日に参加しました。天気は曇ったり晴れたりと、海に出るにはちょうどいい感じでした。
集合場所のマリーナから１６人乗りのゴムボート(とはいえエンジンかかるとびゅんびゅん飛ばしていくのでモーターボートの大きいのって感じです）に乗り込み、キャプテンとアシスタントの女性が注意事項を説明(すべて英語）してくれます。日本人にはあらかじめ日本語に書いたものを渡してもらえますが、いったん海に出るとそんなものを読んでいる余裕は全くなくなるので、少し早めにチェックインして読んでおくことをお勧めします。
キャプテンが「ここに足を入れて」、とか「ここにつかまって」など身振り手振りつきで説明してくれるのでそんなに英語がわからなくても大丈夫。とてもフレンドリーなクルーでした。
マリーナを出発して、スピードを上げると、波にバンバンとボートが乗っかって白い水しぶきがバサ~っと上がり、迫力満点！！まるでテーマパークのアトラクションに乗っているようです。
途中、マンタの見えるホテルの近くに寄ったり、溶岩の岸壁の近くまでよってどんなふうにこんな穴の開いた洞窟みたいなものが海岸にできたのかなど説明をしてくれます。
今まで何回かこの手のシュノーケリングツアーに参加しましたが、今回のゾアティック号は小回りのきく小さな船だったので、岸壁近くに寄ったりと迫力ある景色をまじかに見られてとてもよかったです。
私は勝手に洞窟の中にも入るのかと思ったので、見るだけだったのがちょっと残念。もう少し中まで入れたらよかったのになと思いました。
その後ケアラケクア湾にいって船を停泊して、思い思いにシュノーケリングタイム。
ここに、イルカたちが泳いできてくれること期待して待っていたのですが、残念ながらイルカたちは近寄ってきませんでした。
海の中は、カラフルな色の魚たちや亀が泳いでいて、とても神秘的できれいでした。ハワイ島はパワースポットが多くありますが、海の中も本当に癒されます。
少人数制なのでクルーがちゃんと見ていてくれるという安心感もあり、必要な道具はすべてかしてもらえるので、身一つでいっても大丈夫。むしろ船が小さいので、大きな荷物を持っていかないほうがいいかもしれないです。(必要ないものは車の中においてきたほうがいいです）
私は海用の速乾性のバスタオル、水中カメラを持ちました。
海に入るときも長袖のラッシュガードと手袋もしました。そのまま上がってもサンドイッチやフルーツ、お水をいただいているうちに、ラッシュガードも乾いてきます。
帽子をかぶってこんなにガードしていても、５時間近く海の上だとかなり日焼けします。
かえる頃になって、かわいいイルカたちが姿を見せてジャンプしてくれました。
一緒に泳ぐことはできなかったけど、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
帰りのボートはすごいスピードでスリル満点でした。
またハワイ島に行ったら参加したいと思います。次回はぜひイルカと泳ぎたいので！！

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＞

Full of impact! 迫力満点！

Reviewed by: mihoko

I boarded the "Hawaii Island Ocean Rafting & Kealakekua Bay Snorkel" adventure on the Captain Zodiac. It was truly fun. Before boarding, I was worried, thinking, "What if I get seasick?" and "I'm not confident in my swimming, but can I really snorkel?" However, all those anxieties were blown away by the exhilarating fun.

After a brief explanation from the captain, we set off immediately. I thought it was unbelievable not to wear life jackets, which is unthinkable in Japan! But I realized that it was indeed safer to hold onto the handrails and ropes rather than awkwardly wearing a life jacket and relying on it.

As the boat started moving, it bounced vigorously, but the wind felt pleasant, making it feel like I was on a roller coaster. Along the way, we encountered dolphins and admired the lava cliffs as we headed to the snorkeling point. For those who are not confident swimmers, life jackets were provided, and for those who can swim a bit better, there were inflatable tubes and boogie boards available for rent. Once we put on our goggles and snorkels, we were ready to hit the sea.

Unfortunately, I couldn't swim with the dolphins, but I was able to see them from the boat. After getting back on board, we were treated to fruits, sandwiches, cookies, and potato chips, and the sweet fruits were incredibly delicious after swimming.

If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to receive a translated version of the captain's explanation before boarding. Since we left right away, I didn't have time to read it. If I had received it when I signed up, I would have read it thoroughly.

Things to bring:
1. Rash guard or windbreaker (especially after getting out of the water, it gets cold on the way back)
2. Sunglasses
3. Sunscreen
4. Waterproof case for your smartphone (the type that hangs around your neck is recommended)

Lastly, there was one mystery... The straps of the hats worn by passengers were quickly blown away, and everyone soon gave up on wearing hats, but the captain's hat (not a cap, but a hat type) seemed to stick to his head and was not blown away at all. It was very strange...

If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii Island again, I would definitely like to participate in this tour.

「ハワイ島 オーシャンラフティング&ケアラケクア湾シュノーケル 溶岩の岸壁を行くスリル満点アドベンチャー！ by キャプテン・ゾディアック号」に乗船しました。
本当に楽しかったです。「乗船前は船酔いをしたらどうしよう？」 「泳ぎに自信がないけれど、シュノーケリングは出来るだろうか？」などと思っていましたが、そんな不安など吹き飛ばしてくれる勢いのある楽しさでした。
乗船後、キャプテンから説明があったあとすぐに出発です。救命胴衣もつけず、日本ではアリエナイ！！と思ったのですが、下手に救命胴衣などつけるより、自分の身は自分で守るとばかり、しっかり手すりやロープにつかまる方が確かに安全なのだと思いました。
船が走り出すと、激しくバウンドしますが、風が心地よく、まるでジェットコースターにでも乗っているような気分。途中イルカに遭遇したり、溶岩の岸壁を眺めたりしながらシュノーケルポイントへ。
こちらも、泳ぎに自身のない方は救命胴衣が用意され、もう少し泳げる人は、浮き輪代わりのウレタンのパイプ、ビート版などの貸し出しがあります。ゴーグルとシュノーケルをつけたらいざ海へ。
残念ながらイルカと一緒に泳ぐことは叶いませんでしたが、船の上からは見ることが出来ました。
船に上がるとフルーツやサンドイッチ、クッキーやポテトチップスなどが用意され、泳ぎ疲れた体に甘い果物が最高に美味しかったです。
唯一改善点をお願いするならば、キャプテンの解説を翻訳したものを乗船前に渡してもらうのですが、すぐ出発だったので読む暇がありませんでした。
申し込んだ時点でこれをもらっていたら熟読したのに。と思います。

持っていった方が良い物
１．ラッシュガード又はウィンドブレーカー（特に海から上がったあと、帰りは寒いです）
２．サングラス
３．日焼け止め
４．スマホの防水ケース（首から下げておくタイプがオススメです）

最後に一つだけ謎が･･･。乗船者は帽子の紐をしっかりと締めていたのがあっと言う間に吹き飛ばされ、全員すぐに帽子を被るのを諦めたのですが、キャプテンの帽子（それもキャップではなく、ハットタイプ）は頭に張り付いたかのようにまったく飛ばされませんでした。とっても不思議でした。...
またハワイ島に行く機会があれば是非参加したいツアーです。

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＞

It was too subtle. 微妙すぎました＾＾；

Reviewed by: 石川　海

I've been to the Big Island several times and always stay at the Kinkame Hotel, so I decided to participate this time... First, after checking in, we lined up at the gathering place for the luau. The gathering was at 4:30, but by 4:00, there were already about six people in line. Right after we lined up, many more started to join, and by the gathering time, there was a long queue. At that time, they asked if we wanted to pay an extra $20; if you said "NO," you stayed as you were. If you said "YES," you were directed to the upgrade line. After that, they started to offer various add-ons, like buying leis. Then, during the photo session, they would come around to sell you photos at your seats later on, which was also about $20. After the photos, we walked over to the luau area. The seats in front of the stage were occupied by those who had paid the extra fee (about ten rows of 18 people each), and we were directed to the rows behind them (the back rows had about 20 blocks of 18 people). However, even those who paid extra but arrived late were only one seat away from ours, so it didn't seem to matter much. We were seated before 5:00, but there was still about two hours until the luau show started; those who paid extra went first to get their food, and after about 200 people finished at the buffet, there was a specific order to follow, so by the time we went to get our food... After a long wait, the show finally started, but there were only about six dancers, so after each song, we had to listen to the host's singing and talking for a while (15 to 20 minutes of changing costumes). There was also a mysterious dance time to the songs... Foreigners might find it fun, but... Anyway, the show dragged on with long intervals, and the food was mediocre; spending $91 on this was truly a waste. By the way, we reached our limit and left midway. I won't be going again.

ハワイ島には何度か来ていて、いつもキンカメホテルに滞在するので今回参加しましたが・・・まず受付後はルアウの集合場所に並びます。４時半に集合ですが４時ですでに６人ほど並んでいました。私たちが並んだ直後から沢山並び始め集合時間には行列に。そして、その時＋２０ドルくらい払うか聞かれ【NO】ならそのまま。【YES】ならランクアップの列に通されます。そしてその後レイを買うか等。。色々＋を勧めて来ます。そして、記念撮影タイムでこちらは後程席まで売りに来ます。これも確か２０ドルくらいです。撮影後ぞろぞろ歩いてルアウの場所へ。そこで舞台前の席は先ほど＋を払った方々が座り（前席1ブロック１８人の列が約１０）並んだ順でその後ろの列に通されました（後ろの席は１ブロック１８人が２０くらいあります）。ただ＋払った人でも来るのが遅かった人は私たちの席と１つしか変わらないのであまり意味無いかな？と思います。席に着いたのが５時前でそこからルアウショーが始まるまで約２時間もありました；食事は＋を払った方が先に取りに行くシステムで２００人がビュッフェを取り終えた後に更にこの列・この列みたいに順番があるのでビュッフェを取りに行った頃には・・・・。そして長い待ち時間のあとやっとショーが始まるのですが、ダンサーが６人くらいしか居ないので１曲踊り終えると必ず進行係の歌やトークをしばらく聞かされます（１５分～２０分着替えの時間稼ぎですね；）。そして謎にその歌に合わせてダンスタイム等があり・・・。外国の方は楽しいと思いますが・・・。とにかくダラダラとショーの間隔が長いうえ、食事も微妙、これで９１ドルは本当にもったいないです。ちなみに限界が来て私たちは途中で退室しました。二度と行きませんね。

Kona Sunset & Moonlight Wild Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Wahine Charters

Great experience with tha manta rays, but service below expectations

Reviewed by: Riccardo

We went on moonlight snorkeling tour and saw four manta rays, two quite big, they are so graceful dancing in the water below the light and passing inches from our bodies without touching us and without any fear. This experience is one to be remembered for the lifetime.
Said that, the service given is below expectations.
Let's start from pricing, no reduced price for the one that is not going off board snorkeling.
We arrived on time for the check in and the boat wasn't in the water yet, due to a problem with the truck. Maybe the info on the tour had been already given to the other participants, but nothing more for us. I recieved the wet suit, even though there was no locker room to change, only the marina restrooms.
Anyhow the boat went in the water just in time to go onboard, no gangboard, assuming people is used to jump on and off board.
We went quite fast to the point where manta rays are usually seen, there was already another boat from a different charter, we stood just aside them.
Gear provided by them, good quality, no water entered during all the visit.
Just few basic rules, do not dive, do not touch them, do not kick them, lay horizontally and stay attached to the plastic board, which hosts lights to attract plancton.
As said at the beginning, the experience is really wonderful and makes me almost forget the service part.
Returning onboard, just a minute to remove the wet suit, get dry, have a glass of hot soup and go back as fast as possible to the harbour.
A formal and quick goodbye and that's it.
Overall you cannot miss the mant rays snorkeling experience, but consider also other service providers with respect to this one.

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＞

You can enjoy it even if you don't understand English. 英語が分からなくても楽しめる

Reviewed by: ヤジマタツロウ

On the fourth day of our stay on the Big Island, we participated in a tour. I was hesitant about the speedboat and the English tour, but I enjoyed it thoroughly.

In our tour, my wife and I were the only Japanese participants; the others were travelers from the mainland United States. The Americans were cheerful, and there was a lot of excitement among the staff and the guests, as well as among the guests themselves. My wife and I are not good at English, so we felt a bit out of place, but we were prepared for that, so it didn't bother us too much.

On the way to the bay, we were able to see not only dolphins but also a false killer whale (I couldn't understand the English name, so I looked it up after returning to Japan, and I think that's what it was), which was nice to see. The snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay was enjoyable because the terrain is better than at Kahalu'u Beach Park or Hanauma Bay on Oahu. There are some deep areas in the ocean, so my wife said she was scared in places where she couldn't touch the bottom, but they lent us a flotation device, so she was able to snorkel with peace of mind.

The view of the Big Island from the sea was also wonderful, and I believe this tour is worth participating in.

　ハワイ島滞在４日目に参加しました。
スピードボートと英語ツアーに尻込みしていましたが、十分楽しめました。

　私達が参加したツアーは、やはり日本人は私と妻だけ、他はアメリカ本土からの旅行者の方々でした。
　アメリカの人たちは陽気なので、スタッフとツアー客、ツアー客同士でかなり盛り上がってました。
　私と妻は英語がぜんぜん駄目なので、アウェイ感が強かったですが、元々覚悟していたのであまり気になりませんでした。
　湾に行く途中、イルカだけでなく、コビレゴンドウクジラ（英語が分からなく聞けなかったので、日本に帰ってから調べたので、多分そうだと思う）がゆっくり見られて、良かったです。
　ケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングも、カハルウビーチパークやオアフ島のハナウマ湾よりも地形が良い為に楽しめました。海が深い場所もあるので、妻は足が付かないところは怖いと言っていましたが、浮き棒を貸してくれたので、安心してシュノーケリングをやってました。

　海から眺めるハワイ島の景色も素晴らしく、参加する価値のあるツアーだと思います。

We chose this tour after seeing a feature on TV about the staff member Daisuke.

I usually don't give perfect scores, but to put it simply, choosing this tour was definitely the right decision. It became the best memory. It’s worth more than five stars.

When we entered the sea, Daisuke and Captain Nawata coordinated to predict the dolphins' path and guided us to the pod of dolphins.

We were able to swim with the dolphins several times during one dive. You can really swim close to them.

Even when searching for dolphins from the boat, they kept the conversation enjoyable, so I never felt bored.

If I have the chance to go to the Big Island again, I will definitely repeat this experience. Thank you so much, Nawata, Daisuke, and Yuko!

It was a relaxed show. ゆったりとしたショーでした

Reviewed by: catslove

We were seated at 5 PM, and the actual show started around 7 PM. Until then, we enjoyed drinks, hula experiences, and traditional Hawaiian cuisine. The show featured not only hula but also dances from other islands like Samoa. Between the dances, there were talks and songs from the host, and I thought it might have been more enjoyable if I understood a bit more English. The time flowed leisurely, and depending on the seats, you might not be very close to the stage, so small children might get bored.

17時に着席し、実際にショーが始まるのは19時ごろからでした。それまでは、ドリンクやフラ体験、ハワイの伝統料理などを楽しみました。ショーでは、フラだけでなく、サモアなど、他の島のダンスもありました。ダンスの合間に司会者のトークや歌があり、もう少し英語が分かればもっと楽しかったかなと思います。時間もゆったりと流れますし、席によってはそれほどステージに近くないため、小さなお子様は飽きてしまうかもしれません。

Grand Circle Island Tour - Volcano, Black Sand Beach, Waipio Valley & Waterfalls

Wonderful Tour and Tour Guide, Exceeded Expectations!

Reviewed by: Justine Z

It was my first vacation to the Big Island of Hawaii and I booked a full day circle tour with Wasabi Tours with my boyfriend, in order to get acquainted with the island's landscape and popular destinations. Our tour guide, Kala, was absolutely phenomenal! Not only did he show us all of the beautiful sights and landscapes that the island has to offer but he was also an encyclopedia of information! You could ask Kala almost anything about the island and he would almost certainly have the answer. Kala was a historian, a geographer, a geologist, a horticulturalist and even a sociologist all in one! He was a great story teller! Kala was also extremely hospitable, professional, warm, and inviting--right from the start to the end of the tour!Somehow he managed to keep enthusiastic for the 10+ hour long day. Kala mentioned he used to work in the high end resorts in the North Shore and you can really tell that he did, as he provides extremely professional service. He really went out of his way to make sure the guests were all getting the most out of the experience. When we learned the lava was really high in the Volcanoes National Park, Kala made a few separate attempts to return to the site, as the grounds were extremely steamy that particular day. He REALLY wanted us to see the lava, but it is so sad to say the weather did not cooperate that particular day despite Kala's greatest efforts. Despite this bad luck, we were fortunate enough to see all the other beautiful sites that Wasabi tours promises to take you! Finally, to top the day off, Kala knew how much I wanted to see some of the Hawaiian Honu (sea turtles), and he found me some of those as well! Overall, Wasabi Tours does a really great job preparing a fun and informative day for guests. Ultimately, a big thank you to Kala for keeping us entertained and showing us around the tropical paradise of Hawaii!

Mahalo!

It was really great. I want to see it again. As expected, Hawaii has people from various countries, and it was fun.

If I could wish for something, I would have liked explanations in Japanese as well.

すごくよかった。また見たい。やはりハワイ、、いろんな国の人がいて、たのしかった。

よくを言えば日本語でも説明してほしかった。

A dolphin jumped right in front of me. イルカが目の前でジャンプしました

Reviewed by: ようこ

I felt lucky to have Daisuke as our guide. I was able to see dolphins right in front of me. When they jumped in front of me, it was very moving. Thank you, Daisuke. If I go to the Big Island again, I would like to request you.

ガイドのダイスケさんが担当してくださりラッキーと思いました。やはりイルカを目の前でみることができました。目の前でジャンプしたときは、とても感動しました。ダイスケさん、ありがとうございました。またハワイ島に行くことがあればお願いしたいです。

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＞ *48時間前までキャンセル無料

Seasickness, cold, and manta rays... 船酔いと寒さとマンタ…

Reviewed by: 池田ジョージ

The guides were very kind! We even saw a whale by chance✨ We also saw a manta ray do a full circle right in front of us! However, I wonder if April was not the right season... I almost lost consciousness on the way back due to the cold and seasickness. I'm usually strong enough to read a book in the car without getting sick, but at that moment, the manta ray was so close that I was so moved that my seasickness disappeared. I recommend going during a time when the sea is calm and warm...

案内してくださる方々は、とても優しいです！クジラも偶然見れました✨マンタも目の前でグルっと二回！しかし、4月は時期ではなかったのでしょうか…寒さと船酔いで帰りは意識を失いかけました。車中でも本が読めるほど、酔いなどには強い方なのですが、、
ただ、マンタがあまりに近かったので、その時だけは感動で酔いは吹っ飛びました。
海が穏やかで暖かい時期はおすすめです…

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

It was amazing. 最高でした。

Reviewed by: メルちゃん

I wanted to go snorkeling, so I joined this tour. I was a bit worried because I brought my 85-year-old mother, but the cruise staff prepared various swimming equipment so that anyone, regardless of age, could enjoy themselves. My mother was able to see tropical fish and coral reefs for the first time without getting her face wet, and she was very moved. I felt it was worth bringing her along, and I'm really glad I participated. I was also concerned about seasickness, but it turned out to be completely fine. In fact, my husband took motion sickness medication and ended up feeling sleepy, and I later thought I shouldn't have given it to him. Anyway, the fun time passed in the blink of an eye, and I wished we could have enjoyed it a little longer.

シュノーケリングがやりたくて、このツアーにに参加しました。　ただ８５歳の母を連れてなので、少し心配していましたが、年齢関係なく、楽しむ気があれば誰でも楽しめるように、クルーズのスタッフの方がたが、いろいろな水泳用具を用意してくださり、母も顔に水をつけずに、熱帯魚やサンゴ礁を初めて見ることができ、とても感激しておりました。　私も母を連れて行った甲斐があり、本当に参加して良かったです。　船酔いも心配しましたが、全く大丈夫でした。むしろ、主人は酔い止め薬を飲んで反対に眠くなってしまい、飲ませなければ良かったと後で思いました。　とにかく、楽しい時間があっという間に過ぎた感じで、もう少し楽しんでいたいぐらいでした。
