The meal was delicious, and the show was enjoyable, but at the beginning, we felt awkward because we didn't understand when the attendees were supposed to stand, so we were the only ones sitting. If you're not good at English conversation, it's okay to just follow what everyone else is doing. The sunset was incredibly beautiful, so I felt like we got more than just the show.
食事美味しく、ショーも楽しかったのですが初めのほうで参列者の起立が分からず私たちだけ椅子に座ったままで気まずい思いをしました。英会話が苦手な人は周りに合わせて行動すればOKです。サンセットがすごく綺麗でしたので、ショーの他に得した気分でした。

I participated on May 4th.
I had a great time meeting so many dolphins!
I dove into the area where the dolphins were swimming, and I was surprised when a pod came towards me?!
I was able to see many dolphins. There were dolphins jumping and spinning like in a show, playful dolphins, and mother-and-baby dolphins as well.
I felt surrounded, as if I was swimming with them.
I love the sound of dolphins, so being enveloped by their voices made me very happy.
Please be sure to experience it.
I highly recommend it!!
Thanks to Mr. Nawata. I would love to repeat this if I can go back to the Big Island.
5/4に参加させていただきました。
たくさんのイルカに会えてとても楽しかったです!
イルカが泳いでる所にダイブするんですが、イルカの群れが自分に向かってくる?!ってびっくり。
たくさんのイルカを見ることができました。
ショーのようにジャンプして回転してるイルカや
遊び好きなイルカ、親子イルカもいました。
囲まれてまるで一緒に泳いでるような気分になれました。
イルカの声が好きなので、声に包まれる感じでとても幸せでした。

I participated in late July, but unfortunately, I couldn't see any manta rays. However, I was told that if I didn't see them, I could join again, so I tried again, but I still didn't see any that day. It's disappointing, but since it's nature, there's nothing that can be done. I would like to participate again if I have the chance, as I don't think there are many places where you can easily see manta rays like this.
The staff were friendly, which was great. The sunset from the port was also very beautiful. I had no trouble getting to the meeting place because I followed the comments from previous posts.
7月下旬に参加したんですが、残念ながらマンタには会えませんでした。
ただ、見えなければもう1回参加できるとの事で再挑戦しましたが、この日も会えませんでした。
こんな事もあるんですね。すっごく残念ですが自然のものなので仕方ないですね。
でもまた機会があれば参加したいです。こんなに簡単にマンタに会える場所はそうそう無いと思うので。
スタッフの方もフレンドリーでよかったです。港からの夕陽もとってもキレイでした。
集合場所も前に投稿されてた方のコメントを見て行ったので問題なく行けました。

I encountered a large group of dolphins and swam with them, feeling as if I had become a dolphin myself. Since they are wild, we shouldn't touch them. Although we participated as a family, out of six people, everyone except one child got quite seasick due to the boat and the waves. That said, it was still a very enjoyable experience overall!
イルカの大群に遭遇していっしょに泳ぎ、まるで自分がイルカになったかのような気分。野生なので触ってはいけません。ただ、ファミリーでの参加でしたが、船と海の揺れで6人中子供1人を除いてみんな相当な船酔いしました。それもやむなしで、トータルとても楽しかったです!

Although my favorite island is Kauai, my husband and I always take a side trip over to the big island, just because I have to snorkel at Kealakekua Bay! The first time we did it we took the Zodiac boat which was lots of fun, fast, wet, and bouncy. With that said the last three times we have chosen the Fair Wind! This large catamaran provides a wonderful relaxing ride over to the bay and they cook you a wonderful barbecue lunch in addition to a continental breakfast. There is lots of time to snorkel which is totally amazing! The coral and fish are beautiful. My favorite area is around the coral on the monument side. You will see lots of different fish and be sure and go back and snorkel some more after lunch! The catamaran does have slides and high platforms to jump off of, but the best part is snorkeling. They do offer snuba too, if you enjoy that. I highly recommend this tour. It is the best! Don't forget your underwater camera. Enjoy the attached pics.

This was by far our favorite part of visiting Hawaii for the first time. It was a total rush but we also felt completely safe with our extremely competent guides, Mattie and Jeramiah. Highly recommended. We have a slight fear of heights but the guides made us feel completely comfortable and we had so much fun!

Hawaii Island Ocean Rafting & Lava Cave Adventure with Snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay by Captain Zodiac
We participated!!
On the day of the tour, due to the arrival of a luxury cruise ship from America, the 12-person boat was filled with foreigners except for my wife and me. The guidance was only in English, but even if you can't speak English at all, it's totally fine!!!
We got to see wild dolphins, and snorkeling in front of the beautiful "Captain Cook Monument," which is the most beautiful spot in Hawaii, was amazing. It's shallow, so even those who are not comfortable in the water (up to their face) can join.
Please be careful after arriving, as there is no changing area provided by the tour company. We dried off from the wind on the return boat and changed at the hotel after returning with our rental car.

I participated in an afternoon cruise. I drove a rental car to the meeting point for the tour. The weather was nice, and the boat didn't rock much, but while I was fiddling with my camera and looking for my belongings, I started to feel a bit queasy. Since it takes time to get to Kealakekua Bay, I think it's better to take it slow and enjoy the view outside for a while after boarding.
The sea was very beautiful, and I could see all the way to the bottom. There were also many small fish. The boat was equipped not only with snorkeling sets but also with floaties and some kind of tool that allows you to look into the water without putting your face in it.
Only the consent form for the first tour was available in Japanese, but everything on the boat was in English. Since they also discuss safety precautions, I wouldn't recommend it for someone who doesn't understand English at all.
On the way back, we encountered dolphins, and they swam alongside the boat for a while, so we were able to enjoy some dolphin watching. It was a very satisfying tour.
アフタヌーンクルーズに参加しました。ツアーの集合地点まではレンタカーで。天気は良く船も揺れなかったのですが、カメラをいじったり荷物を探したりしていたら少し酔いそうになりました。ケアラケクア湾へは時間がかかるので乗ってしばらくはゆっくり外を眺めていた方が良いと思います。
海はとても綺麗で底の方まで見渡せました。小さな魚もたくさんいます。船にはシュノーケリングセットだけでなく浮き輪や、顔を水につけずに水を覗き込める道具(?)等も準備されていました。
最初のツアーへの参加同意書のみ日本語の紙も用意されていましたが、船の中では全て英語です。注意事項等も話されるのでまったく英語がわからない人にはおすすめできないと思います。
帰りにはイルカに遭遇し、しばらく船と一緒に泳いでくれたのでイルカウォッチングまで楽しめました。とても満足のいくツアーでした。

After the tour ended, I realized that it wasn't an exploration through caves, but overall, it was very good.
Even as a beginner, when two people cooperate rhythmically in the kayak, we made great progress, and being close to the water made the blue of the sea stand out beautifully. At the snorkeling point, the waves were calm, and we could see colorful fish, plus we jumped off the cliffs!!! I really enjoyed playing in the sea.
For those planning to participate, I recommend:
- Wearing sandals that won’t come off for resting on the rocks.
- Taking sun protection measures is necessary. I suggest applying UV cream before heading back or wearing UV clothing. My feet got particularly sunburned.
The friendly service and enjoyable conversations were also memorable.
ツアーが終了してから、シーケーブとは?っと洞窟をくぐる探検ではなかったことに気づいたのですが、トータルの内容としてはとてもよかったです。
カヤックは初心者でも2人リズム良く協力すると、ぐんぐん進み、海面から近いこともあり海の青さが際立ち本当に綺麗でした。
スノーケルポイントでは、波は穏やかで色とりどりの魚を見る事ができ、絶壁からジャンプ!!!
海遊びを満喫しました。
参加を予定している方へのアドバイスとしては、
・岩の上で休憩のため、脱げないサンダルを履いていくのがおススメです。
・日焼け対策が必要です。
帰り前にもUVクリームを塗るか、上下UVウェアの着用をおススメします。足が特に焼けました。
親切な対応と楽しい会話も想い出の一つです。

I have to say, the staff was fantastic. We came as a family - 2 adults and one 12-year old. One of us adults (me) got motion sickness on this trip. My 12 year old had to bear the brunt of the paddling as we were sharing a kayak. I was dreading the trip back from our snorkeling stop. The guides could see that we were struggling (because of my nausea and the high seas) and they tethered us to their kayak and helped us in. We continued to work our paddles but I think we might still be on the water today if it weren't for their help. My husband was in a single kayak and he did fantastic and had a great time. We certainly cannot blame anyone for my sea sickness except me but the staff was very nice about it and extremely helpful. Thanks guys for all of your help! My husband and son are ready to go again but I think I'll sit the next one out.

My family had a wonderful time on this snorkel adventure! Even though only 3 of us were signed up for the afternoon activity, the staff was extremely friendly, courteous, and flexible.
We had a wonderful ride out to Captain Cook's monument, with stops along the way to explain some of the history for that part of the island. The snorkeling equipment was in very nice shape and fit well. The reef was very nice, with a wide variety of fish, and plenty of time to see everything. There were plenty of refreshments and snacks, including fresh pineapple and guava waiting for us when we finished snorkeling. On the ride back, out guide took us further out into the ocean to see if we might see any whales or dolphins.
All in all, this was a fantastic way to spend the afternoon of our last day on the island.

I participated in the afternoon tour. I received a reservation confirmation email that mentioned to call for confirmation the day before, but it might be a bit challenging for those who can't speak English.
I drove to the location with a rental car. The parking lot was far from the office and hard to find, so having a map in advance would be helpful.
The boat was fairly large, and I didn't feel seasick at all. We encountered dolphins along the way. There were light snacks and drinks available on board.
The sea was incredibly beautiful, and I was able to see many fish, coral reefs, and sea urchins. There was also a slide, which was fun.
I was surprised to see an elderly woman, who looked to be over 80 years old and bent over, entering the water! Of course, she had someone accompanying her.
Since it wasn't summer, it was cold when we got out of the water.

It was a compact tour of kayaking, snorkeling, cliff diving and sea-cave watching, though the weather didn't allow sea-cave exploration on that day. The overall experience was worthwhile for a first-timer. The tour made it much easier for route guidance, picking up kayaking tips, tying up kayaks when snorkeling and quick onshore energy supplement. It might be a little demanding physically for individual rowers. Yet the staff were very experienced, helpful (and encouraging for beginners).

Had a good time. I'm athletic so asked for a single but was put in a double kayak with my father since girls are "weak". My father got sea sick so we were towed back even though I wanted to do the rowing. I never did get the exercise I wanted and never saw the sea caves so was pretty disappointed. My brother went on to see the caves in his single kayak. We were told that the activity would be over at noon but my brother came back at 11 a.m. We had to wait around til noon for our ride which was also a little disappointing. Wouldn't do this activity again under the circumstances.

The food was o.k but we didn't expect a whole lot. The dancers even stood at the exit so you could get a picture with them.

On March 4, 2012, I participated in a tour with Aloha Kona Tours for my honeymoon. During this time, if you're lucky, you can see not only dolphins but also whales.
We were fortunate enough to encounter whales. Moreover, we were much closer than typical whale watching experiences (within 10 meters). In fact, they were swimming right under the boat. On our way back after swimming with the dolphins, a whale jumped right in front of us. I was so excited that I couldn't say anything other than "Wow!" (It was the same for Mr. Nawata from Aloha Kona Tours, right? lol)
There are various discussions about Japan's whaling practices, but I think this experience is one that everyone should have if possible. It had a significant impact on my personal perspective.
There were also plenty of dolphins. I was able to swim while dolphins were right in front of me. Experiencing "swimming with a pod of dolphins" is something you definitely can't do in Japan. Dolphins are just so cute, and there were even mother and baby pairs. I was able to swim multiple times by anticipating the movement of the pod. I got so excited that I swam too much.
As for what to bring, in addition to swimwear, it's a good idea to have a waterproof digital camera. I'll post some photos as well.
Thanks to Mr. Nawata and Ms. Tsuyako from Aloha Kona Tours, I had a safe and incredibly fun experience. (In fact, they were enjoying it with us, too! lol) Honestly, if you're going to the Big Island, you should definitely join this tour.

Title: An Unforgettable Experience
I participated in a dolphin cruise. Before seeing the dolphins, we encountered whales. I believe it's called breaching. The sight of a whale jumping high with its belly facing up was truly breathtaking.
We also met a mother whale with her baby, and I got to hear the sounds of the whales, which were very soothing, almost like singing.
When we arrived at the point where the dolphin pod was, I was amazed.
There were dolphins everywhere!
While snorkeling, dolphins were zipping past me on both sides, and there must have been around 200 of them.
Underwater, I could hear the adorable sounds of the dolphins making "kyu kyu" noises.
According to our guide, encountering such a large group was incredibly lucky.
There were dolphins swimming with leaves in their mouths, teasing us by picking them up and letting them go, which was really cute.
Even just watching from the boat, I enjoyed seeing dolphins jumping all around.
Swimming with dolphins has been a dream of mine for many years, so encountering such a large group was thrilling.
It became my best memory in Hawaii. Thank you for the wonderful time.

One experience that can only be had on the Big Island of Hawaii is manta night snorkeling. Plankton gather around the light from the Sheraton Hotel in Keauhou Bay, attracting manta rays that come to feed on them. This is something you should definitely experience at least once. The night boat and snorkeling can be cold, so I recommend bringing a warm jacket. Also, if you are prone to seasickness, it's wise to take some medication beforehand. However, I believe you will have a great experience that you won't regret.
ハワイの中でもハワイ島でしかできない体験がマンタ・ナイト・ショノーケリング。ケアウホウ湾のシェラトンホテルが出す光にプランクトンが集まり、そのプランクトンを食べにやってくるマンタ。これは一度経験した方がいいでしょう。夜の船、シュノーケリングは寒いので温かい上着なども持っていくといいと思います。また船酔いする方は薬も飲んでおいた方が無難だと思いました。でも、後悔しない良い体験ができると思います。

Check-in at Keauhou Bay. This tour is mainly targeted at mainland tourists who are participating in overseas tours, so all the guidance is in English. However, if you've received a basic education, you should be fine. The staff are friendly and respond kindly. Kealakekua Bay has high transparency and calm waves, making it an ideal environment for snorkeling. You'll be welcomed by a variety of tropical fish. Also, if you're lucky, dolphins might come by. With breakfast and lunch included at this price, it's quite reasonable.
ケアウホウ湾でチェックイン。チェックイン時から海外ツアーへ参加しているんだとわかる本土系観光客をメインターゲットにしたツアーです。だから案内等は全て英語ですが、義務教育を受けている人なら大丈夫です。スタッフはフレンドリーで親切に対応してくれます。ケアラケクア湾は透明度が高く波も少ない湾でシュノーケルにはもってこいの環境。色とりどりのトロピカルフィッシュがお出迎えしてくれます。また運が良いとイルカもやってくるそうです。朝食、昼食とついてこのお値段なので納得です。

I participated with my mother in her 60s. I was a bit worried about her joining due to the speed of the boat, but we were both very satisfied. I think elderly people can participate as well. The staff was very accommodating, and during snorkeling, they supported my mother, who couldn't swim, by providing a float that allowed her to look down and see the fish.
Fortunately, we were lucky enough to encounter whales and dolphins. There were no staff members who spoke Japanese, but I think as long as you can communicate a little, you can enjoy the experience without any issues. It's more thrilling than regular whale watching, and I highly recommend it.
60代の母と参加しました。
スピードの出るボートとのことちょっと高齢の母の参加を心配していましたが大満足です。高齢の方も参加できると思います。スタッフの対応もよくシュノーケリングの際は泳げない母をサポートしていただき下を覗けるビート板のようなものにつかまり魚を見せてあげることができました。
ラッキーなことに鯨とイルカにも遭遇することができました。
日本語を話せるスタッフはいませんが少し意思疎通ができれば問題なく楽しめると思います。
普通のホエールウオッチングよりスリリングでお薦めです。

If you participate expecting typical rafting, you might feel it's a bit different.
Instead of the thrill from drops, it feels more like riding a rubber boat at high speed on the ocean, similar to jet skiing.
Honestly, I got a bit bored since there were no drops, just fast speeds.
Still, I appreciated the service spirit of the captain, and it was great to actually see wild dolphins and a whale in the distance.
The snorkeling spots were nice, though I wouldn't say they were astonishingly beautiful.
一般的なラフティングをイメージして参加すると少し違うものだと感じます。
段差があってその落差でドキドキというよりかは、ゴムボートに乗って海面を速いスピードで移動していく、ジェットスキーのような感覚というと近いかもしれません。
途中、落差がなくスピードが速いだけなわけで正直飽きてしまいました。
それでも、野生のイルカやクジラを探して見に行ったり、船長の方のサービス精神は感じました。
実際に野生のイルカと、遠くにクジラがみれてよかったです。
シュノーケルは驚くほどとはいえませんが綺麗なポイントです。
Thank you for participating in the Ocean Rafting & Lava Cave Adventure Tour.
We are delighted to hear that you were able to see wild dolphins and whales on the day of the tour. Our Ocean Rafting tour is not like the jet ski experience you may have expected; it is a high-speed tour along the coastline on a Zodiac boat.
During the high-speed ride, we also provide explanations about the geography and history of the Big Island of Hawaii. If you have difficulty hearing or understanding during the tour, please let the captain know right away, and we will be happy to explain things more slowly.
We hope to see you again on the Big Island!
Aloha
この度はオーシャンラフティング&溶岩洞窟アドベンチャーツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございました。
ツアー当日は野生のイルカやクジラも見ることができたとのことで嬉しく思っております。
弊社ツアーのオーシャンラフティングはお客様の想定されていたジェットスキーのようではなく、ゾディアックボートで高速でコーストラインを走っていくツアーです。
ハイスピードでの走行中、ハワイ島の地理や歴史についてもご説明しております。もしツアー中聞こえずらかったり、理解しずらい場合はキャプテンまですぐに伝えていただければゆっくりとご説明させていただきます。
それでは、またハワイ島に遊びに来てください!
アロハ
