I'm so happy to meet the manta rays and dolphins! マンタ&イルカ 会えて嬉しい♪

Reviewed by: jun-co

When I came to the Big Island, I had decided to go for a dolphin swim, so I was really looking forward to it!

First, I was super excited to encounter a manta ray! Seeing it swim slowly underwater and looking at it head-on was truly impressive!

When the captain said, "Dolphins!" and pointed in that direction, dolphins jumped! I waited eagerly for the boat to stop… and then we went into the water! As I swam towards the sound of the dolphins, the underwater scene became so joyful when I spotted them! Everyone was swimming happily! I was lucky to see a mother dolphin with her baby too!

Even friends who were new to dolphin swimming enjoyed it a lot, thanks to our guide, Mr. Nawata, who taught us everything. Thank you!!

After getting off the boat, they took us to a beautiful white sand beach and recommended a delicious lunch spot. It was truly a fun experience.

If I come back to the Big Island, I definitely want to join this tour again.

Mr. Nawata, I look forward to it!

ハワイ島に来たらドルフィンスイムと決めていたので、
すっごく楽しみにしてました~♪

まず最初マンタに出会えて大興奮でした~!!
海の中ゆっくり泳ぐ姿と、真正面から見るマンタは
大迫力っ!

船長が「ドルフィーン!」と言う方向を見ると
イルカがジャンプ~!
ワクワクしながらボートが停泊するのを待ち…
海の中へ!
イルカの声が聞こえてくる方向へ泳ぎ、
イルカが見えてくると海の中がハッピーに~♪
皆、嬉しそうに泳いでるんですよ~♪
子連れのイルカもいてラッキーでした!

ドルフィンスイムが初めてのお友達も
ガイドの縄田さんが教えてくれたので、
とっても楽しめたそうです
ありがとうございます!!

ボートを降りた後も、
すっごい素敵な白砂ビーチに連れて行ってくれたり
美味しいランチの店を教えてくれたり
本当に楽しかったです。

またハワイ島に来たらぜひこのツアーに
参加したいです。

縄田さんその時はよろしくおねがいしま~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>

I got to see a manta ray! マンタに合えた!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

At first, I was scared because the manta rays were so close, but I got used to it!

I thought something was bumping into my face, and when I looked closely, it was a huge amount of plankton?! It was amazing!

Even though there were so many, the two manta rays quickly devoured them all!

The view of the sunset in front of the office is beautiful! ☆

マンタが近くてはじめは怖かったけど、慣れました!

顔にプツプツとなにかあたるなぁ~って思ってよく見たら大量のプランクトン?!?!すごかった~

大量にいたのに2匹のマンタがあっという間に食べ尽くしてしまいました~

It's the best!!! 最高です!!!

Reviewed by: horry

On October 18, my husband and I participated in the tour.

Mr. Nawata picked us up at the hotel, and before boarding the boat, we fitted our fins and wet suits in case it got cold, and then we set sail!!

The boat felt more like a banana boat, allowing us to enjoy it safely while straddling the edge. I usually get seasick, but it was so much fun like a banana boat that I didn't feel sick at all. Before we set off, the captain, who resembled George Clooney and spoke Japanese well, gave us ginger candy for motion sickness. It was delicious.

About 15 minutes after departure, we quickly spotted a pod of dolphins!! We went ahead to where the dolphins were likely to be, and each of us was given a floatation stick. Mr. Nawata and two local young men joined us in the water, which made us feel safe.

We were lucky that day, as we encountered countless dolphins during all four entries!! My husband was satisfied swimming alongside the pod of dolphins. When I stayed still, a group of dolphins swam straight towards me, and I almost bumped into one. I could also hear the dolphins' squeaks!! There were baby dolphins too, and they were very cute.

Finally, we were taken to a spot where mantas were present, and we were fortunate to see a large one that day!!

We heard from other boats that there were whales, so we waited at that point for about 15 minutes, but they didn't come up to the surface. It seems that whales usually don't arrive in Hawaii until October, but this year, some have come early. They say that in January, you can see them almost every day, so I plan to try again in January!!

Since we were the only Japanese couple on this tour, Mr. Nawata guided us closely, and it was a very satisfying experience. On the way back, he also recommended restaurants and beaches that weren't listed in the guidebook. We actually visited as many as we could within our time☆ All of them were wonderful!!

Thanks to this experience, we made great memories. Thank you very much. I plan to participate again when I come back to the Big Island!!

10月18日に夫婦で参加しました。

縄田さんにホテルまで迎えに来て頂き、ボートに乗る前に足ヒレと寒かった場合のウェットスーツのサイズ合わせをし、いざ出港!!

船はボートといった感じで縁にまたがって安全なバナナボートのように楽しめます。私は船酔いしやすいのですが、バナナボートのようで楽しくて、全く酔いませんでした。一応、出港前にジョージクルーニー似の日本語が上手な船長さんが酔い止めのジンジャーキャンディーをくれます。美味しかったです。

出港15分ぐらいで、早くもイルカの群れを発見!!イルカが来るだろうところに先回りして、ボートの縁から海へ☆浮くための棒も一人1本くれますし、縄田さんと現地の若い男の子2人、合計三人が一緒に海に入ってくれるので安心です。

この日は運が良く、4回のエントリーすべて、数えきれないほどのイルカさんに会うことができました!!夫はイルカの群れと並んで泳いで満足そうでした。私は動かずにいたらイルカの群れがまっすぐ向かってきて、イルカと顔があたりそうでした。キューキューというイルカの鳴き声も聞くことができました!!子供イルカもいて、とても可愛らしかったです。

最後にマンタがいるところにも連れて行って頂き、マンタも運良くこの日は1匹大きなのがいました!!

クジラがいると他の船から連絡があったそうで、そのポイントで15分ぐらい待機しましたが、海面に上がってきませんでした。クジラは例年10月にはまだハワイには来ていないそうで、今年は来るのが早く数匹もう来てるそうです。1月には毎日のように見れるらしいので、次回は1月にトライしようと思います!!

今回は日本人が私たち夫婦だけだったこともあり、付きっきりで縄田さんにガイドして頂き、大満足のツアーでした。
また帰りの車ではレストランや、ビーチなどガイドブックには載っていないお勧めのところを教えて下さいました。実際に時間の許す限り行って来ました☆どこもすばらしく良かったです!!

おかげ様でとても良い思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。またハワイ島に来るときに参加しようと思います!!

Deluxe Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkeling Cruise from Keauhou Bay - Hula Kai

WOW!

WOW is all I can say. Took the kids and the wife to this tour, and we are from a landlocked state, so all kinds of any sea critters are new to us...but nothing, and I mean nothing could have beat getting an eyeful of the mantas gliding all around so close up. The kids went wild for it, and even my wife wasn't scared a bit. Overall it was truly a great experience, and one I would tell others to for sure try out. Families will love it and I even saw some single people just out enjoying the trip as well. Its really for everyone

野生のイルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングツアー <朝食・昼食付き>

It's quite good. なかなかです。

Reviewed by: Katie

I participated on a weekday in early October before the triathlon competition. We were the only Japanese people there.

Unfortunately, we didn't see any dolphins, but the boat was spacious, and the restrooms were clean, so I was satisfied with the facilities. There were slides and diving boards, and the slide was particularly enjoyable even for adults.

The meals and drinks were well-prepared, and I had no trouble at all. The staff was friendly and provided snorkeling sets and wetsuits for rent.

We had plenty of time to enjoy snorkeling. However, the coral was located at a depth of about 5 to 10 meters, and I could only see the fish up close after diving deep. Even just floating on the surface, the water's clarity was excellent, allowing us to see the seabed well, but the fish were quite far away, which left me feeling a bit unsatisfied.

I think the boat was too large to anchor in very shallow areas. If you want to see the fish up close, diving might have been a better option.

10月初旬でトライアスロン大会前の平日に参加しました。日本人は我々だけでした。
イルカは残念ながら見れませんでしたが、船がゆったりしていて、トイレもきれいで設備は満足でした。スライダーや飛び込み台があって、特にスライダーが大人でも楽しめました。
食事や飲み物もきちんとそろっていて全く困りませんでしたし、スタッフはフレンドリーでシュノーケルセットやウェットスーツ等も貸してくれます。
シュノーケルもたっぷり楽しむ時間がありました。ただ、水深5m~10m位のところに珊瑚があって、深く潜ってやっと魚が近くに見える程度。水面でぷかぷか浮いて見るだけでも、海の透明度は抜群なので海底まで良く見えはしましたが、魚はとても遠くにいて、ちょっと不完全燃焼でした。
船が大きめなのであまり浅いところには停められないのだと思います。魚を近くで見たければダイビングがよかったかもしれません。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in the afternoon plan. The sea was truly beautiful, and I lost track of time enjoying it. I really wanted to visit Kealakekua Bay, but it was a bit difficult to get to, so this was just right. We stayed at a hotel in Kailua-Kona, and it was relatively convenient to get to the meeting point at the Fair Wind office. We took a shuttle bus along Alii Drive and got off at Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa, from where we could walk to the office.

アフタヌーンプランに参加しました。
本当にきれいな海で、時間を忘れて楽しみました。
ケアラケクア湾はぜひ行ってみたかったのですが、少し行きにくい場所にあったのでちょうどよかったです。
私たちはカイルアコナのホテルに滞在していたのですが、集合場所のフェアウィンド号の事務所までは、アリィドライブ沿いのシャトルバスに乗ってシェラトンケアイホウベイビーチ&スパで降り、そこから徒歩で行けましたので、比較的便利でした。

I was very satisfied to encounter dolphins and manta rays!! イルカとマンタに出会えて大満足!!

Reviewed by: sisters

I participated with a female friend in September. It was my first time on the Big Island, and I wanted to do more than just relax on the hotel beach, so I was drawn in by the phrase about swimming with dolphins and signed up.

The weather was fantastic on the day of the tour, and we were picked up at the hotel and driven to the harbor. The harbor was small, but there were no procedures to go through, just a quick fitting for the fin size and we were off!!

The Sea Wolf, a large rubber boat, allowed us to straddle the sides, and being close to the water while feeling the wind was really pleasant!!

Then we met the dolphins. I was so excited watching the dolphins jumping in the water that I couldn't wait to get in. The dolphins were really close, almost touchable (though it seemed like we weren't supposed to touch them). It truly felt like swimming with dolphins (^ - ^)/

After that, we dove a few times while chasing a pod of dolphins, and we even got to see a manta ray! Swimming slowly with the manta was so soothing.

On the way back, we stopped at a beach recommended by our guide, Mr. Nawata, and it was such a beautiful beach. We took lots of pictures. I wished we could have stayed a bit longer to relax on that beach.

It was a very satisfying tour, having encountered both dolphins and manta rays. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting the Big Island and looking for ocean activities!☆

9月に女友達と参加しました。
ハワイ島は初めてだったのですが、ホテルのビーチだけではなくシュノーケリングもしたいなあと思い、イルカと一緒に泳げるというフレーズにつられて申し込みました。

当日はお天気もとってもよく、ホテルでピックアップして頂き、ドライブしながら港へ。港はこじんまりしてましたが、何の手続きもいらずフィンのサイズだけあわせてしゅっぱーつ!!

大きいゴムボートのようなシーウルフ号はサイドにまたがって乗ることができ、海面に近く、風もうけながらとっても気持ち良かったです!!

そしてイルカとご対面。海上をはねるイルカをみて興奮冷めやらぬまま海へ。本当にイルカは近くてさわれそうでした。(さわってはだめみたいでしたが)なるほど~確かにイルカと一緒に泳ぐって感じでしたよ(^-^)/

その後何回かイルカの群れを追いかけながらダイブして、なんとマンタもみれちゃいました!ゆっくり泳ぐマンタに癒やされました~。

帰りにはガイドの縄田さんおすすめのビーチによって頂いたのですが、ほんっとにきれいなビーチでした。写真もいっぱい撮ってもらいました。もう少し滞在できたら、そのビーチでのんびりしたかったな~

イルカにもマンタにも出会えて大満足なツアーでした。ハワイ島にいかれて海でアクティビティをという方にはオススメです☆

ハワイ島 シュノーケルクルーズ SUP体験もできる充実ツアー!貸し切りプランあり<午前/朝食・昼食付き> by フラカイ号

Enjoying snorkeling! シュノーケリングを満喫!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

In late September, when I traveled with my girlfriend, we participated in a snorkeling tour for two, as just lounging by the hotel pool and beach was a bit boring. Since we were staying in Kona, we gathered at the designated spot by rental car. The parking was limited and somewhat confusing, so we parked on the nearby street, but there seemed to be enough parking space available.

There were about 20 to 30 tour participants, mostly foreigners, with only two groups of Japanese, including us. However, throughout the tour, the staff was very friendly, and their explanations in English were clear and spoken slowly, which alleviated any anxiety or stress.

Once the cruise started, we traveled for about 30 minutes to the first snorkeling spot, where we enjoyed snorkeling and sunbathing for about an hour. During that time, a simple breakfast with bread was prepared, but the taste was not great...

We stayed at the second snorkeling spot for about an hour as well. They mentioned that if we were lucky, we might encounter sea turtles, but unfortunately, we didn't see any during our time. Lunch was then provided, and the hamburgers grilled on the boat were incredibly delicious and satisfying in portion size.

After that, we returned to the original port, which took about 30 minutes, and the tour concluded. Overall, it was exactly as I imagined a tour would be, and I think it’s a recommendable tour if you want to see beautiful fish while snorkeling. On the other hand, there was quite a bit of travel involved, so you can't really relax leisurely on the boat.

9月下旬に彼女と旅行に行った際に、ホテルのプール、ビーチだけではつまらないので、きれいな海でシュノーケリングをやる為に2名で参加しました。
コナに宿泊だったため、レンタカーで指定の場所に集合。駐車場は限りがあり、分かりにくかったため、近くの路上に駐車でしたが、十分な駐車スペースはある印象でした。
ツアー客は全部で20~30名ほどで、ほとんどが外国人で日本人は我々を含めて2組ほどです。でも、全体を通じてスタッフは非常に親切で、説明の英語も分かりやすく、ゆっくり話してくれるので、不安、ストレスはありません。
クルーズが開始すると、1つ目のポイントへ30分ほど移動し、1時間ほどシュノーケリング・日光浴を楽しみます。その間、パンなどの簡単な朝食が準備されますが、味はいまいち・・・。
2つ目のポイントでも1時間ほど留まり、シュノーケリングを楽しみました。運がよければウミガメに出会えるとのことでしたが、残念ながら我々の時は見つかりませんでした。そこで、ランチが用意されます。船上で焼いてくれるハンバーガーは最高においしく、量も満足のいくものでした。
その後、また30分ほどかけて元の港に戻って終了。
良くも悪くも想像通りツアーという印象で、シュノーケリングできれいな魚をみたいなどの希望があればおすすめできるツアーだと思います。一方で、移動が結構多いため、船上でゆっくりくつろぐとかはできません。

ケアウホウ湾 シーカヤック&シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>by オーシャンサファリ・カヤック

It was the best experience! 最高の体験でした!

Reviewed by: Amor

This was my second time kayaking, but it was my first experience with sea kayaking. The weather was great, and the view of Hawaii Island from the sea was different from what you see from land. Paddling through the vast, deep blue ocean using only our own strength was a bit challenging for the two of us girls, but feeling the waves and wind made it a wonderful experience, reminding us that we are part of nature.

I communicated with the staff in English. However, they were very kind and spoke slowly with simple words or even in broken Japanese for my friend who doesn't speak English. While a typical tour aimed at Japanese tourists, which prioritizes safety and has everything planned out, might be nice, if you want to fully embrace the adventure on Hawaii Island, I absolutely recommend this!

If you plan to drive there yourself, I recommend checking the location in detail on Google Maps. The parking lot is a bit off the road and can be quite hard to find.

I definitely want to participate in more adventure-filled tours like this again!

カヤックは今回2回目でしたが、シーカヤックは初めての体験でした。
天気も良く、海からのハワイ島は陸から見るのとは違う景色でした。
真っ青などこまでも広い海を、船などではなく自分たちの力だけで漕いで行くのは女子二人ではちょっと大変でしたが、波や風を感じながら行くのは人間も自然の一部であるということを感じられて素晴らしい経験でした。
スタッフと私は英語での会話でした。でも英語ができない友人にはゆっくり簡単な単語や、カタコトでも日本語で話してくれますし、とっても親切に対応して頂きました。
よくある日本人向けのツアーのように全て決められて安全面など重視のツアーもいいかも知れませんが、せっかくのハワイ島。とことんアドベンチャーしてみたいなら絶対にオススメですっ!

ご自身で車を運転して行くなら、場所をgoogle mapなどで詳細まで調べて行くことをお勧めします。駐車場は道からちょっと入ったところなのですが、結構見つけにくいです。

ぜひまたこんなアドベンチャーいっぱいのツアーに参加してみたいです!

We participated in a snorkeling cruise as a couple. Since we were staying at the Royal Kona Resort, we drove to the meeting point with a rental car. It took about 15 minutes to arrive. The meeting point is located very close to the Sheraton Hotel. There is limited parking, so I recommend arriving early. There were about 40 participants, and aside from us, there were only two other Japanese couples. The boat was large, so we didn't feel cramped and could relax comfortably. I was worried because no one spoke Japanese, but as mentioned in other reviews, we were able to enjoy ourselves without any problems. We snorkeled at two points for just over an hour each. There were slightly fewer fish, but the water clarity was excellent, and it felt very refreshing. After the second snorkeling session, we had lunch. The freshly grilled cheeseburgers on the boat were very delicious. The meal was served buffet-style, where you could help yourself to the food. It seemed that alcohol was also available for purchase. After that, we leisurely cruised back to the harbor. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any dolphins, but we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves very much. The staff were all smiling and friendly, so it was a tour where we could participate with peace of mind, even without understanding the language.

夫婦でシュノーケルクルーズに参加しました。ロイヤルコナリゾートに滞在していたので、集合場所へはレンタカーで行きました。約15分くらいで到着しました。ホテルシェラトンのすぐ近くに集合場所はあります。駐車場が少ないので早めに行くことをオススメします。参加者は約40名ほどで、日本人は私たち夫婦以外に2組だけでした。大きな船なので窮屈に感じることはなくゆったりできました。日本語がまったく通じないので不安でしたが、他のレビューにもあるように何の問題もなく楽しむことが出来ました。シュノーケルは2つのポイントで各1時間ちょっとすることが出来ます。若干魚は少なめでしたが、透明度がよくとても気持ちがよかったです。2回目のシュノーケル後に昼食を頂きました。船上でグリルしたできたてのチーズバーガーはとてもおいしかったです。食事はセルフで自分でお皿に盛り付けていくスタイルでした。アルコールの販売も行っているようでした。その後ゆっくりクルージングしながら港へ帰りました。残念ながらイルカに出会うことはできませんでしたが、とてものんびり楽しむことができました。スタッフの方は皆笑顔で親切だったので、言葉は解らなくても安心して参加できるツアーでした。

It was really great!! すごくよかったです!!

Reviewed by: shun & seiko

I participated in this tour on September 28th. My impression can be summed up in one word: "I'm really glad I joined!"

First, they picked us up at the hotel in the morning, and then it was off to the port! Thanks to the friendly captain and the little boys who assisted, we moved to several points where we could see dolphins, and then we dove in! Underwater, I could hear the cute sounds of the dolphins and found myself chasing after them in excitement. Unfortunately, the day we participated was a bit cloudy, so it was a little chilly, and we couldn't see the sparkling light in the water, but I was still very satisfied with how many dolphins we got to see.

On our way back to the port, we saw a large sea turtle swimming on the surface, and we even encountered a 4-meter-long tiger shark (of course, from the safety of the boat).

After that, although it wasn't included in the tour, our guide, Mr. Nawata, kindly took us to what he recommended as the most beautiful beach on the Big Island.

It was incredibly beautiful. During our trip, we visited beaches at hotels on the Big Island and also on Oahu, but none of the other beaches compared. It's a beach I truly want to visit again.

From the dolphin experience to the personality of our guide, both my husband and I were extremely satisfied with the tour. If we have the chance to go to the Big Island again, I would love for Mr. Nawata to guide us.

Thank you for providing such a valuable experience!☆

9/28にこのツアーに参加させてもらいました。
感想は、ただ一言「参加して本当によかった!」です。

まず、朝ホテルまでピックアップに来ていただき、その後港へGO!
気さくな船長や助手(~)の小さな男の子たちのお陰でイルカのいるポイントへ何度も移動してくれ、そしてダイブ!
海の中ではイルカのかわいい鳴き声がたくさん聞こえ、夢中でイルカを追いかけてしまいました。
残念ながら私たちが参加した日は曇りがちな日だったため、ちょっと寒く、また海の中も光のキラキラしたものは見れなかったのですが、それでもイルカをたくさん見ることができて大満足です。

帰港する際には海面を泳ぐ大きなウミガメをみたり、なんと、4メートルはあるタイガーシャークにまで出会うことができました。(もちろん、船の上から)

その後、ツアーには含まれていないのですが、ガイドの縄田さんのサービスで縄田さんお勧めのハワイ島一キレイなビーチに連れていってくれました。

めちゃくちゃキレイでした。
旅行中、ハワイ島のホテルのビーチやオアフでもビーチに行きましたが、他のビーチはキレイと思えなくなってしまうくらい。心から、もう一度行きたいビーチです。

イルカの体験から、ガイドさんの人柄まで、夫も私も本当に大満足のツアーでした。

Reviewed by: 3103

When the guide is different, the experience and impressions also change. I was able to truly feel that with a wonderful guide.

During this trip to Hawaii, which lasted eight nights, we signed up for many tours. Each had its own merits, but my husband and I often reflected, "We wish we could have asked Mr. Nawata (the guide for this tour) for all the tours."

He is truly knowledgeable about Hawaii and shares various stories with great enthusiasm. Additionally, he is very reliable; just by following Mr. Nawata in the water, we felt assured that we would definitely see dolphins! If we have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to ask Mr. Nawata for his guidance. (Mr. Nawata is knowledgeable not only about the sea but also about the land and mountains—he really knows everything!)

You can really see dolphins right in front of you. While we couldn't swim at the same speed as them, it seems that depending on the dolphins' condition and mood, it might be possible. I, who easily gets seasick, was able to enjoy myself without feeling nauseous. Thank you so much! I look forward to working with you again!!

ガイドが違うと、体験感想も変わってくる。
それを心底実感することができた素晴らしいガイドさんでした。

I swam with dolphins for the first time!! イルカと初めて泳ぎました!!

Reviewed by: yukky

On September 25th, I participated in this tour for the first time with a female friend. First, the guide picked us up at the hotel. Since we were the only participants, we had the guide all to ourselves, and after the pickup, we went straight to the port. The guide was Mr. Nawa, who was born in Hakata. He was very friendly and, thanks to his proactive advice, we were able to enjoy the tour from start to finish without any confusion, even though it was our first time.

After arriving at the port, we put on wetsuits over our swimsuits and boarded a rubber boat with other groups. I tend to get motion sickness, so I took some medicine beforehand, but I think due to the weather, I was completely fine. Sitting on the rubber boat felt like being on a banana boat, and I forgot about feeling seasick and had a great time. The captain and the crew were very friendly, which helped us relax.

We had three opportunities to watch dolphins. The boat anchored at a point where the dolphins were gathered, and everyone quickly put on their snorkels and fins and jumped into the sea. Even those who aren't confident swimmers will be fine! There are floats available. Once in the water, we all swam towards the dolphins based on the guide's instructions. You can get as close as you want to the dolphins as long as you don't touch them. I swam to my heart's content.

Perhaps it was because of the enthusiasm of everyone participating, but the dolphins swam so close that it felt like we could reach out and touch them, and some dolphins played with us in the same spot for a long time. Underwater, we could hear the cute sounds of the dolphins, and it was truly an experience beyond our expectations. On the way back, we stopped at a beautiful beach that I had never seen before, which was amazing.

The guide also took pictures of us swimming with the dolphins and sent them to us as a keepsake. It was truly a well-organized experience. I think everyone should definitely participate! There were couples and groups among the participants. Although there were no children, everyone had a great time, and I felt it was a highly emotional tour. So, everyone, let's give it a try!

イルカが集まってるポイントへ船をつけてもらい、皆一斉にシュノーケルとフィン付けて海に飛び込みます。
泳ぎに自信がない人も大丈夫!浮きも有りますから。
海に飛び込むと、ガイドさんの声を参考に、イルカの泳いでる場所に向かって一斉に泳ぎます。
イルカには触れなければどれだけでも近づけます。
私も思う存分泳ぎました。
今回参加した皆さんの熱い気持ちが通じたのでしょう、イルカは手が届きそうなくらい近くに、沢山泳いでいて、同じ場所で長い時間遊んでいってくれるイルカ達もいました。
海の中では、イルカの可愛い鳴き声も聞こえますし、本当に期待以上の体験が出来ました。
帰りには、今までに見たこともないような美しいビーチにも立ち寄っていただき、最高でした。
ガイドさんは、イルカと泳いでいる写真もとって下さり、記念に送っていただきました。本当に至れり尽くせりでした。
皆さん、参加する価値めちゃめちゃあると思いますよ!!
参加者はカップルもグループも色々。お子さんはいなかったけど、参加者は皆大いに楽しめ、感動度の高いツアーと思いました。
皆さん、レッツチャレンジですよ!

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>

I experienced it. 体験してきました

Reviewed by: PISGETTY

When I decided to travel to Hawaii, I really wanted to go rafting, so I searched for this tour. Although Japanese was hardly understood, there was no problem at all thanks to the kind and cheerful responses from the captain and the female assistant. I was curious about the lack of a mention of swimsuits in the packing list, but it turned out I definitely needed one (laughs). I think wearing a T-shirt or a long-sleeved windbreaker over the swimsuit is a good idea.

While snorkeling, we encountered wild dolphins on the way back to the shore by boat! We had gone quite far, but the captain turned back, and I was thrilled to meet so many dolphins there!

ハワイ旅行を決めたときラフティングがどうしてもしたくってこのツアーを探しだしました。日本語はほとんど通じませんでしたがキャプテンと補佐の女性の方の親切な対応と明るさで全く問題ありませんでしたよ。持ち物の所に水着が書いてなかったのでどーなのか気になりましたが、やっぱり必要でした(笑)服装は水着の上にTシャツか長袖のウィンドブレーカーみたいなのでいいと思います。
シュノーケリングをしてボートで沖に戻るときになんと野生のイルカに遭遇!!だいぶ行き過ぎてたのですが、船長は戻ってくれてそこでたくさんのイルカと出会い感激しました!

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>

I was healed by the dolphins. イルカに癒されました

Reviewed by: DAIZO

I participated in the experience campaign on September 21.

We departed from Honokohau Marina in the Kona area on a very large rubber boat called Sea Wolf.

*Unrelated, but the captain of the Sea Wolf was quite big and muscular, yet he spoke in a high-pitched and cute voice with broken Japanese, which was a bit amusing due to the contrast.

While some may have preferences regarding rubber boats, unlike regular boats, we could all enter the water simultaneously from the side of the boat instead of waiting to enter from the back. This meant that even if dolphins appeared, the chances of missing them due to waiting in line were low, which I personally found very good.

The dolphin point itself is close to the marina, but for those who are prone to seasickness, it's safer to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

Additionally, you can choose from life jackets or floatation devices, so even non-swimmers and children can feel safe. Conversely, for those who can swim, not having a life jacket (especially) allows for more freedom in the water. By the way, I was allowed to swim freely without a wetsuit, life jacket, or floatation device.

Shortly after leaving the harbor, I was surprised at how easily we encountered a pod of about seven dolphins. During the first entry, we were able to see two groups of seven dolphins each.

On the way to explore the dolphins, there seemed to be a manta ray point nearby, and during the second entry, we were able to encounter three manta rays at that point.

The mantas were swimming around that area, and the water depth was about 10 meters, so we could see the mantas from above with plenty of excitement, and for those who could dive, they could see the mantas quite closely.

I was thrilled to see a manta ray swimming with its mouth open to eat plankton for the first time from the front, and I could even see the stripes inside its mouth.

Soon after, during the third entry, perhaps due to luck, the dolphins swam around for a very long time, and at times, I was able to swim with them at a distance of about 50 cm, and they jumped right in front of me, providing quite a show.

体験談キャンペーン実施中だったこともあり、
9月21日に参加してきました。

コナ地区のホノコハウマリーナから、
非常に大きいゴムボート(?)シーウルフ(海狼)号で出発しました。

※関係ないですが、シーウルフ号の船長はかなり体格がよくごつい感じですが、
体の割りにかなり高くてかわいい声で片言の日本語で気さくに話してくれ、
そのギャップがちょっとウケます。

ゴムボート的な船は好き嫌いはあるかもしれませんが
通常のボートと違い後方から海へエントリーするのではなく、
ボートのサイドからみな同時にエントリーできたので、
イルカが現れてもエントリー順番待ちにより
イルカを見逃す可能性が少なくて個人的には非常によかったです。

なお、イルカのポイント自体は、マリーナから近いですが、
酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲んでおいた方が安全です。

また、浮くための道具としては、ライフジャケットや、浮き棒を選べるので、
泳げない人や子供でも安心です。
逆に泳げる人は、(特にライフジャケットは)ない方が自由に泳げて
よいと思います。
ちなみに、私はウェットスーツも、ライフジャケットも浮き棒もなしで
自由に泳がさせてもらいました。


港を出て早々、こんなにも簡単に見つかるものかと
イルカ7匹ぐらいの群れに遭遇し、
1回目のエントリー時は、
イルカ7匹×2(別グループ)を見ることができました。

イルカ探索の道中、近くにマンタポイントもあったようで、
2回目のエントリー時は、
マンタポイントでマンタ3枚にも遭遇することができました。

マンタはそのポイント界隈を回遊しており、
水深はだいたい10メートルないぐらいなので、
上からでも十分な迫力でマンタを見ることができますし、
潜れる人であればかなり近くでマンタを見ることができました。

マンタがプランクトンを食べようと口を空けながら泳ぐ姿を
初めて真正面から見ることができ、さらに口の中の縞々も見ることができて
大興奮でした。


ほどなくして3回目のエントリー時、
運もよかったのか、今回のイルカは非常に長い時間周辺を泳いでくれて
近いときは50cmくらいの距離でイルカと一緒に泳ぐことができたり、
ほんと目の前でジャンプしてくれたりとかなりサービス

野生のイルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングツアー <朝食・昼食付き>

It was great! 良かったです!

Reviewed by: Yume

When we arrived at the meeting point on the pier, we immediately recognized the boat that was docked. The boat was clean, with tables and benches on the first floor, and only benches on the second floor. There was plenty of space to move around. We had a 4-year-old and a 6-year-old with us, and there were activities that everyone, from kids to adults, could enjoy, such as watching dolphins and riding in a boat shaped like a float. The staff were friendly and very attentive. They also provided wetsuits for both children and adults (each for $10). We were also soothed by the wonderful views, sea breeze, and music. I highly recommend it.

集合場所の桟橋に着くと、船がとまっているのですぐにわかりました。船はきれいで1階にはテーブルとベンチがあり、2階にはベンチのみ。スペースはかなりゆったりとしています。4歳と6歳の子供連れでしたが、イルカを見たり、浮き輪のような形のボートに乗ったり、子供から大人まで楽しめる内容です。スタッフもフレンドリーで、面倒見のよい方々ばかりでした。子供用と大人用のウェットスーツも借してくれます。(1つ10ドル)素晴らしい景色と海風と音楽にも癒されました。おすすめです。

Well informed tour!

Reviewed by: irene

The excursion was extremely interesting and our tour guide Mavrick very knowledgeable also he was concered about the group safety. We where well informed about the history of the creater, lava tube and the coffee tour! The staff was wonderful and extremely polite, took their time for the guest to drink some of the delicious Hula Daddy Coffee while looking out at the beautiful view.
The only downside I had was the ***extremely*** bumping ride as we got closer to the crater, I feel if there was dirt road or pavement all would have been perfect... I also feel because of the rough road and the crater edge no kids should be taken on this tour. Overall, this was an experience I will always remember, Thanks.

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>

I am very satisfied! ☆ 大満足です☆

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Upon arriving at the hotel on the Big Island, I immediately made a phone call to confirm my reservation, but I could only communicate in English and couldn't effectively ask about directions to the meeting point, so I gave up and hung up. Fortunately, it seems they kindly contacted the Japanese desk at the hotel for me, and I was able to get assistance from the Japanese desk. I decided to take a taxi to the meeting point.

When we arrived at the meeting point, we were the only Japanese customers there. Once we boarded the boat and set off, I couldn't help but scream with excitement at the incredible speed. It was so much fun! I'm glad I wore sunglasses because the wind was strong.

After a while, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and I was thrilled to see them jump in front of us like in a dolphin show at an aquarium. The clarity of the water in Kealakekua Bay was amazing, and I took various pictures of the fish with my waterproof camera while snorkeling. An American child on board was having fun jumping off the boat. We took a little break on the boat to enjoy sandwiches, fruits, and snacks.

After that, we went to see various caves and felt the greatness of nature. There was an explanation in English about the history of the Big Island along the way, so I recommend that those who don't understand English read the Japanese pamphlet provided before boarding.

It was a tour that exceeded my expectations, and I was very satisfied!☆

 ハワイ島のホテルに着いてさっそく予約確認の電話をかけましたが英語しか通じず集合場所までの行き方についての質問をうまく伝えられずに諦めて電話を切りました。するとご親切にもホテルのジャパニーズデスクに連絡してくだっさったようでジャパニーズデスクに対応してもらいタクシーで集合場所まで行くことにしました。
 無事集合場所に到着すると日本人のお客さんは私たちだけでした。いざボートに乗り込み出発するとすごいスピードでキャーキャー叫んでしまいました。すごく楽しいです!風が強いのでサングラスをしていて良かったです。
 しばらく行くとイルカの群れに遭遇し水族館のイルカショーのような大ジャンプが目の前で見られて感激しました。
 ケアラケクア湾の透明度はすばらしくシュノーケリングをしながら防水カメラでいろんな魚を撮りました。一緒に乗っていたアメリカ人の子供はボートから飛び込みをしたりして楽しんでいました。ボートの上でサンドイッチとフルーツ、スナック菓子をいただきちょっと休憩。
 その後、いろんな洞窟を見に行き、自然の偉大さを実感しました。
 途中ハワイ島の歴史について英語で説明がありますので英語がわからない方は乗船前にもらえる日本語の説明書を熟読しておくことをおすすめします。
 期待以上に楽しいツアーで大満足でしたぁー☆

Deluxe Captain Cook Snorkeling Tour at Kealakekua Bay - Fair Wind Cruises

Works great for kids

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We had a great time as a family on this cruise. My kids (ages 10 and 13) swim, but I was still nervous about them with snorkeling gear in open water for 1.5 hours. Turns out I had no need to worry. They have these great flotation devices you can buckle around their torsos that gives them about 50% flotation, and my kids enjoyed having these on so they didn't have to expend much energy swimming and could enjoy the fish. I'm a marginal swimmer--ok in pools but little experience in open water, and I had a great time also--put on a flotation device around me and didn't worry a bit. I probably could have continued snorkeling another hour. The kids enjoyed sliding off the boat slides into the bay also. Highly recommend.

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>

It requires quite a bit of stamina. かなり体力が要ります

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Floating in the night sea for 45 minutes while being tossed by the waves, even while holding onto something, takes quite a bit of stamina. I wondered if I really needed to wear a life jacket. The day we went, the waves might have been a bit rough.

I took motion sickness medication, but the waves were so rough that I got seasick and returned to the boat a little earlier than others. At the very least, it's a good idea to remember some English like "I wanna go back to the boat. I'm tired." The staff will help you when returning, but for the few meters until you grab the rope, you'll have to swim on your own in open water, which could be tough if you're not a strong swimmer... I think it's better to return with a bit of energy left. It was a more demanding activity than I expected.

The manta rays came quite close, which was great. Since seaweed and debris can get tangled in your hair while floating, wearing a swim cap helps prevent that and also makes the mask straps more comfortable. The English explanations weren't difficult, so you'll be fine.

何かにつかまりながらとはいえ、夜の海で波に揉まれながら45分浮いているのは、結構体力がいります。救命胴衣は着けなくていいのかな?と思う位でした。私たちが利用した日は、少し波が荒かったのかもしれません。

酔い止めを飲んで行きましたが、波が荒くて酔ってしまい、他の人より少し早く船に戻りましたが、少なくとも"I wanna go back to the boat. I'm tired."位の英語は覚えていった方がいいです。戻る時はスタッフが手伝ってくれますが、ロープにつかまるまでの数mは、何もない所を自力で泳ぐことになるので、カナヅチだと厳しいかも...少し余力を残した状態で戻った方がいいと思います。思っていたよりお気楽ではないアクティビティでした。

マンタそのものは、すぐ近くまで来てくれて良かったです。海に浮いている藻や屑が髪に絡まるため、水泳用の帽子をかぶっておくと、引っ掛かりにくいし、マスクのゴムも痛くないです。英語の説明は、難しい事は言っていないので、大丈夫です。

Dolphin cruising イルカとクルージング

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Cruising while being blown by the sea breeze was very pleasant. The view of Hawaii Island from the ocean was also wonderful. Along the way, a pod of about five or six dolphins came close and swam right by us, which was a bit moving. The snorkeling was beautiful with its blue waters, but it was a bit disappointing that there weren't many fish. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable the cruising was, and I felt glad to have participated.

潮風に吹かれながらのクルージングはとても気持ちよかったです。海から見るハワイ島の景色もすばらしかったです。途中イルカも5,6頭寄ってきてすぐそこを泳いでいるのが見れてちょっと感動でした。シュノーケルは青くてきれいでしたが、ちょっと魚がいない感じでそこは残念でしたが、クルージングが意外に気持ちよくて参加してよかったと思いました。

I had some anxiety about the announcements being in English only, but on that day, there happened to be a Japanese group with us, and the guide translated for us, so there were no problems at all.

Kealakekua Bay was amazing. The sea was so beautiful that my 7-year-old and 4-year-old said it was the most fun they’ve ever had. Even my husband, who isn’t very comfortable in the water, really enjoyed it. The slide was quite high and not suitable for small children, but my older child took on the challenge. I tried it too, but... young guys were sliding down like crazy.

The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and the boat didn’t rock too much, which was great. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see any dolphins, but we will definitely go again next time. I highly recommend it.

英語のアナウンスのみと言うことで多少の不安がありましたがこの日はたまたま日本の団体が一緒でガイドさんが通訳してくれたので何の問題もありませんでした。

ケアラクア湾は最高でした。
とにかく海が綺麗で7歳と4歳の子供達も一番楽しかったと言ってます。
あまり海が得意でない夫もとっても楽しんでました。
滑り台は結構な高さがあり、小さい子には不向きですが上の子はチャレンジしてました。私もやりましたが・・・・

My first time on the Big Island. It's a tropical island just a half-hour flight from Oahu. I was amazed by the island that looked like it was covered in chocolate from the airplane. Once there, it was all about relaxing and taking it easy. The marina with the Zodiac tour was a continuous source of excitement for someone like me who loves machines and mechanics. I was captivated by the moving lathes and milling machines in the repair shop. A round of applause for the behind-the-scenes workers at the resort. The American workers in their uniforms looked cool too.

Now, the rafting on the boat was a blast, zooming over the waves with a cheerful captain and staff. It was simply fun. Not only did we speed along, but we were also gentle with the dolphins and whales we spotted in the waves. The staff mentioned that it's rare to see whales so close. (The timing was so perfect, it felt like they were kept in the Zodiac.) The snorkeling was incredible, probably due to the clear waters around the lava coast. The bay had little current, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults. On the way back, there was no time to get seasick as we sped back. Thank you for a wonderful day. Mahalo.

初めてのハワイ島。オアフ島より半時間ほどのフライトでつくトロピカルな島。飛行機から見るチョコレートを流したような島にびっくり。過ごせば、のんびり、ゆったり。このツアーのソディアックのあるマリーナは、機械、メカが大好きな小生には、感激の連続。旋盤、フライス盤の動いている修理工場に見入った。リゾートの裏方に拍手。作業服のアメリカ人もカッコイイ。さて、ボートでのラフティングは、陽気なキャプテン、スタッフとともに、バンバン波の上をブッ飛ばす。アーア楽しいの一言。飛ばすだけでなく、波に見えるイルカ、クジラには優しく。クジラがこんな身近で見られるのは、スタッフも珍しいとのこと。(ソディアックで飼っているいるのかと思われるようなタイミングのよさ)シュノーケルも溶岩の海岸のためか、海の透明度がすごい。湾の流れも少なく、子どもも大人も楽しめる。帰りのボートも船酔いする暇もなく、すっ飛ばす。楽しい一日をありがとう。マハロ

I saw a manta ray for the first time in Hawaii. I heard that the chances of seeing one are close to 100%. Since I had my child with me, I was relieved that we were able to see it. However, the briefing on the boat before diving was quite long, and my wife and child started to feel sick, so I think the briefing should be shorter. That said, I was surprised at how close it came, almost touching my legs. I think seeing a manta ray is worth it, but maybe just once?

 初めてのハワイでマンタを見ました。見ることができる確率は100%に近いと聞いていま。子供がいたので、見ることができホッとしました。ただ、潜るまでのレクチャーが、船上で長く行われたため、ワイフと子供が気持ちが悪いと言い出したので、船上レクチャーは短めにしたほうがいいと思いました。それにしても足に触るぐらいまで近くに来たのでビックリ。マンタは一度でいいかな?でも見る価値はあると思います。
