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＞

A snorkeling tour on a boat that is accessible for wheelchair users!♪ 車椅子でも乗れる船でシュノーケリングツアー♪

Reviewed by: Lei

I participated with my husband, who uses a wheelchair, and our sons, who are in fifth and second grade. The deciding factor for us to sign up was the large boat that allows wheelchair access. Since I used to dive a lot during my student days, I wanted my children to experience snorkeling and dolphin watching at accessible points by boat, but it was quite challenging with a wheelchair. I was very happy that we could go this way.

However, the meeting time was early in the morning, and we had to leave the hotel by 6 AM to drive from Waikoloa, which made my sons look sleepy the whole time. That was a bit disappointing. Still, the snorkel, mask, and fins we borrowed were comfortable, and despite it being their first time snorkeling in open water, they weren't scared at all and had a lot of fun. They also loved the noodle, a long floating device. (My husband wasn't feeling well and didn't snorkel, so I'm not sure if he would have supported them if they had wanted to.)

The kids wore life vests, and I only had the noodle, but it was enough to keep me afloat. The fish at the snorkeling spot were honestly fewer in variety compared to places like Okinawa, but I think it was a good experience for the kids' first time.

We also saw dolphins on the way there! We had breakfast (a variety of breads, fruits, and yogurt) before snorkeling, and during the snorkeling time, we could come up whenever we wanted to eat the hamburgers for lunch. The taro chips served at lunch were a favorite of the kids.

On the way back, we had a longer cruise away from the coast to look for big animals (dolphins, whales, mantas, etc.). Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any, but the cookies they handed out during that time were delicious, and my younger son asked for seconds.

It was a half-day tour, but it became a very enjoyable memory! If I could wish for something, I think a tour with a later meeting time and just lunch would be better. By the way, my children and I took motion sickness medication, so we didn't get seasick. My husband seemed a bit unwell, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication just in case, even for those who usually don't get seasick!

車椅子の夫と小学5年生、2年生の息子たちと参加しました。
申し込みの決め手は車椅子のまま乗り込むことができる大型の船、ということでした。
私自身は学生時代ダイビング三昧だったので、船に乗って行けるポイントでのシュノーケリングやイルカウォッチングは子供たちにも体験してほしいことでしたが、車椅子にはなかなかハードルが高く。。今回このような形で行けてとても嬉しかったです。
ただ、集合時間が朝早く、Waikoloaから運転して行くため6時台にはホテルを出なければならず、息子たちは終始眠そうだったのが残念ポイント。。
それでも、貸していただけたシュノーケル＆マスクとフィンが快適で、初めてのオープンウォーターでのシュノーケリングであったにも関わらず全然怖がらず、二人ともとても楽しんでいました。ヌードルという、細長～い浮き具もお気に入りでした。（今回夫は体調もさほど優れずシュノーケリングはしなかったため、やりたいと言えばサポートしてくれたのかどうかは不明です）
子供たちはライフベストを着用、私はこのヌードルだけでしたが、充分浮いていられました。ポイントのお魚は、正直沖縄などよりは種類も少なかったですが、子供たちの初めての体験としてはよかったと思います。
行き帰りにイルカも見られました！
行きに朝食（何種類かのパンと果物やヨーグルトなど）を食べて、シュノーケリングの時間中好きな時に上がって来て昼食のハンバーガーを食べる、という感じでした。昼食で出たタロイモチップスが子供たちのお気に入りでした。
帰りは大物（イルカ、クジラ、マンタなど？）を見つけるために、行きより海岸から離れての長めのクルーズでした。残念ながら遭遇はできませんでしたが、この時間に配ってくれたクッキーが美味しくて、次男はおかわりしていました。笑
半日のツアーでしたが、とても楽しい思い出になりました！
欲を言えば、集合時間遅めのランチだけのツアーがよいかな、と思いました。
ちなみに私と子供たちは酔い止めを飲んで行ったせいか船酔いはしませんでした。夫は少し気分が悪そうでしたので、普段酔わない方も念のため酔い止めをお勧めします！

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧　水～土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能＜フライト100分／英語パイロット／ワイコロアヘリポート＞

The Japanese guide was great. 日本語ガイドがよかった。

Reviewed by: RygerSeven

For the tour departing at 10:30, we needed to arrive at the heliport an hour in advance. The heliport is located near Waikoloa. We arrived at 9:30, checked in, and then watched a video. When the time came, we took a tour of the Big Island, flying counterclockwise. It was about a two-hour helicopter tour. The pilot, who is from Massachusetts, provided guidance in a mix of Japanese and English. There were a total of seven of us on board: four Japanese, the pilot, and two Americans. It was very helpful that the guide spoke Japanese.

十時三十分出発のツアーで一時間前までにヘリポートに行く必要がある。ヘリポートはワイコロア近くにある。九時半に到着してチェックインしてから、ビデオを見た。時間になりハワイ島を左回りに一周した。約二時間のﾍﾘﾂｱｰ。マサチューセッツ州出身の操縦士が日本語と英語を混ぜながら案内してくれた。登場したのは我々日本人四人と操縦士とアメリカ人二人の合計七人。ガイドは日本語を話せるのでとても助かった。

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 saw a manta ray swimming right in front of me. 目の前をマンタが泳ぐのが見えた。

Reviewed by: RygerSeven

At 6:15 PM, we gathered at the harbor. The only restroom available is a nearby public toilet, which is not very clean. We boarded the boat and headed to a nearby point. There will be a briefing on the boat, but I think it will be manageable even if you don't understand English. It takes about fifteen minutes to reach the point. They provide masks and snorkels, but they are not prescription, so I recommend that those with poor eyesight bring their own masks. We descend into the sea from the back of the boat. Holding a buoy about a meter long, we swim to a metal bar fixed on the surface. There, we place the buoy on the tops of our feet and hold onto the metal bar to float parallel to the water's surface. Looking down, you can see the light shining downwards. After a while, a manta ray swims up towards the surface. It feels like it's coming right at you, which is quite impressive. However, some people might feel scared as the manta approaches in the dark. Small children might be frightened. We maintain this position for about an hour. I felt that twenty minutes was enough for me at first. The remaining forty minutes felt quite long. After floating on the surface for about an hour, we returned to the boat, used the restroom on board, and had a drink before disembarking. I think we disembarked just after 8 PM. It takes about an hour to return to Waikoloa from there, so we would get back to Waikoloa before 10 PM, and I think the driver will be quite tired. Still, I was satisfied with the impressive manta rays.

夕方六時十五分。ハーバーに集合。トイレは近くの公衆トイレのみ。きれいではない。乗船して近くのポイントに行く。船の中でブリーフィングをするが、英語が分からなくても何とかなると思う。十五分ほどの移動でポイントにつく。マスクとシュノーケルは貸してくれるが、度付きではないので、視力が悪い人は自分のマスクを用意することをお勧めする。船の後部から海に降りる。一メートルほどの長さの浮き具をもって水上に固定してある金属製のバーまで泳ぐ。そこで浮き具を足の甲において、両手は金属製のバーを持ち水面に平行になるように浮く。下を眺めるとライトが下方向に照らしているのが分かる。しばらくするとマンタが下から海面に向かって泳いでくる。こちらに向かってくるような感じがして迫力がある。ただひとによっては暗い中でマンタがやってくるので恐怖を感じるかもしれない。小さい子供だと怖がるかもしれない。この体制を一時間ほどする。私は最初の二十分で十分と感じた。残りの四十分は結構長く感じた。一時間ほど海面に浮いてから船に戻り、船の中でトイレを済ませて、飲み物を飲んでから下船した。下船したのは八時過ぎだとおもう。ここからワイコロアまで一時間ほどかかって帰るので、ワイコロアに戻るのは十時前になり、運転手は結構疲れると思う。それでも迫力のあるマンタには満足した。

It was absolutely wonderful. 最高に良かったです。

Reviewed by: HIKO

The luau at Hilton Waikoloa Village was my first experience, and the kalua pork was incredibly delicious. The traditional luau and hula Hawaiian show, although pricey, was definitely worth seeing live. Plus, with the all-you-can-drink option, I ended up drinking a bit too much, but I really enjoyed it. I would love to visit again.

We were the only Asian participants.

You will receive an email asking for signatures regarding participation in advance, so make sure to fill it out for all participants. We attended as a pair, but I forgot to fill out one person's information, so we had to do it on the day of the event.

Also, at the meeting point, it seems that another tour group gathers at the same time, so it's safer to confirm that you are in the right group. (At first, we went to where people were gathering, and since our names weren't called, we confirmed and found out it was a different tour.)

It was okay not to speak English. I couldn't catch most of what was said because it was fast, but the staff were cheerful and kind, so it worked out.

Sunscreen is available on the ship, so it's fine if you forget it. You shouldn't expect much from breakfast. The cookies were very delicious.

The service was good, but the sea wasn't as beautiful as I expected, so I give it 4 stars.

アジア系の参加者は、私達だけでした。

事前に参加についてのサインを求めるメールが来るので、参加者全員分を書きましょう。
2人で参加しましたが、1人分書き忘れてしまったため、当日書くことになりました。

また、集合場所では、別のツアーも同時に集まっているようなので、間違いないか確認した方が無難です。（最初、人が集まっているところに行き、名前が呼ばれなかったので確認したところ、別のツアーでした）

英語は、話せなくても大丈夫でした。
早くて何言っているかほとんど聞き取れませんでしたが、スタッフの皆さんが明るく、優しいので、何とかなります。

日焼け止めは船内にあるので、最悪忘れても大丈夫です。
朝食はあまり期待しない方が良いでしょう。
クッキーはとても美味しかったです。

サービスは良かったですが、海が思ったより綺麗ではなかったので、星4です。

Mauna Kea Summit Stargazing tour

Reviewed by: Jana

Wow! What an amazing experience. We were so glad we took this tour instead of attempting this ourselves. It was beyond our wildest dreams, like leaving earth and visiting Mars. Just incredible. Our tour guide, Arthur, was extremely knowledgeable. We all learned a tin from him through the tour. I highly recommend him.
The food was from a local restaurant and was delicious. The bus was comfortable and I would not have wanted to drive to the summit in a rental car. That alone was worth the rate.
Also, Parkas and gloves were provided and they were super nice and warm. This tour was by far thi highlight of our trip to Hawaii. Do not hesitate. The experience is incredible and better than we could have possibly imagined. Not to be missed. And...it's cheap when you consider the quality I'd the experience. We LOVED it.

ハワイ島　乗馬ツアー　コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬！ ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

Even a one-and-a-half-hour experience became a memorable moment. 1時間半の体験でも思い出になりました

Reviewed by: トマト

I opted for a one-and-a-half-hour experience, which was enjoyable and included a gallop. They provided thorough explanations about horseback riding and handling the horses in a way that was easy for children to understand. All the horses were well-trained and followed a set route, so my husband, who was experiencing this for the first time, seemed to have no worries. My 8-year-old daughter also had a great time and said she would like to do it again if we come back to Hawaii. We rode through the grasslands and made our way towards the sea, enjoying the refreshing breeze. I gave a small tip in cash to the guide who took such good care of us that day. Other participants also tipped, but the other Japanese family did not.

1時間半の体験にしましたが、十分に楽しめる内容だし、ギャロップもさせてくれました。子どもでもわかりやすいように丁寧に乗馬や馬の扱いについて、説明してくれます。どの馬もよく調教されて、決まったルートを回るので、初めて体験する夫でも不安はなかったようです。8歳の娘も楽しかったと喜んで、またハワイに来たら体験したいそうです。草原の中を通り、海の方まで回るので、風もあり気持ち良かったです。一生懸命に世話してくれたガイドさんには心ばかりのチップを当日現金で払いました。他の参加者も払ってたが、他の日本人の家族は払ってなかった。

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

Breathtaking Coral ecosystem

Reviewed by: Alek Collins

This experience was perfect. The snorkeling over the coral and the incredible variety of fish was nothing short of amazing! That said my 18 and 13 year olds grew tried of it (sigh ) and chose to jump from the different levels of the boat into the water. (The highest level really is quite high!) The excursion was long enough for them to get tires of that and go back out for more snorkeling! The guides were great too. They provided some history behind what we were seeing ranging from the local traditions to the arrival of Captain Cook.
I couldn't recommend this trip more!!

ハワイ島　乗馬ツアー　コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬！ ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

My first horseback riding experience! 初めての乗馬！

Reviewed by: がっちゃんのママ

We participated as a family of four with our 9-year-old and 11-year-old elementary school children! It was everyone's first time riding horses, so we were quite nervous, but we were able to enjoy a relaxing horseback ride on well-behaved horses without any major troubles.

The instructions were mainly in English, so the kids participated with almost no understanding, asking, "What are they saying?" But it was manageable. There was a Japanese explanation at the reception that outlined the basic rules, so those who are not confident in English might feel a bit more at ease after reading it. Additionally, if the horses don’t listen, the staff members accompanying us quickly help to correct the situation, which is reassuring.

They also take photos of each group along the way (don’t forget to bring your own camera or smartphone!). The 1.5-hour ride was quite fulfilling. The beautiful scenery of the vast grounds made it a great memory. I recommend this activity as a way to experience the great nature of the Big Island of Hawaii.

9歳、11歳の小学生と夫婦の４人で参加しました！
全員乗馬は初めて！なのでかなりドキドキでしたが、特にトラブルもなく、お利口な馬に乗ってゆったりと乗馬を楽しむことができました。
説明は基本英語なので子供達は「何て言ってるの？」とほぼ理解なしで参加してますが、何とかなります。受付のところに日本語の説明文があり、基本的なルールが書いてあるので、英語苦手な人は一読しておくとちょっと安心かなと。ただ、馬が言うことを聞かなくてもサポートで同行してくれるお姉さんたちがすぐ軌道修正してくれるので安心です。途中グループごとに写真も撮ってくれます（自分のカメラかスマホを持っていくのを忘れずに！）
1.5時間でかなり乗りごたえがありました。広大な敷地の景色の良さもあっていい思い出になりました、ハワイ島の大自然を感じられるアクティビティとしてオススメです。

Our guide, Winfield, had an incredibly lucky day, as dolphins swam alongside our kayak, creating wonderful memories. This isn't an option; it's just pure luck, but it's the kind of experience that can happen on this tour.

They also provided plenty of time for snorkeling, which made us very satisfied.

The meeting point was a bit difficult to find, but our guide helped us locate it, and we were able to start without any issues!

3-Hour Spirit of Aloha Kohala Coast Morning Snorkel Tour with Lunch & Drinks - Hawaii Nautical

It was OK -- crowded

Reviewed by: Scuba Steve Sr.

I've been on many catamaran snorkel trips on different Hawaiian islands over the years, this one was just OK compared to the others. The things that brought the experience down a bit for my family were the number of people on the boat, it was very crowded, the way food was handled (you're paying handsomely for some chips and a pretty bland sandwich -- they ask you what you want when you sign up for the boat but on the boat it's a free-for-all, so you might end up with something you didn't want or pay for), and lastly (and again) the number of people on the boat. The first 15 minutes of snorkeling was just spent trying to get away from everyone else so you didn't get kicked in the face or torpedoed by some mid-westerner trying to play aquaman by diving under the water and surfacing right into your abdomen. So yeah, it was OK -- wouldn't do it again for the price though.

I visited two places. The first beach didn't have many fish and the water was cold, so it might be fine to just go to one place. The second spot, Kealakekua Bay, had both coral and fish, which was great. The food was good too. The water temperature was higher here, so I think it would have been difficult if it were the other way around.

It was so much fun! とにかく楽しかったです！

Reviewed by: まーさん

We participated as a family of three, including our third-grade daughter. Since we were staying in the Waikoloa area, we drove to the meeting point in a rental car. It was quite a distance (about 40 to 50 minutes), but we enjoyed the drive. Along the way, we spotted some wild goats, which delighted our child.

The boat was quite rocky, but it seemed that no one was seasick. However, for those who are worried about seasickness, I recommend taking some medication beforehand. There were only two other Japanese families besides us among the participants, with the rest being Korean and Westerners. The staff only spoke English, but they provided a written notice in Japanese, so as long as you can speak a little English, it shouldn't be a problem.

The boat had two slides, which our daughter was really looking forward to, but we were surprised when we arrived! The slide's starting point was on the second floor of the boat, and the end of the slide was about three meters above the water surface, so it felt like you were almost falling into the sea. I was too scared to try it myself.

You can also dive or jump off the boat, which can be done from both the second and first floors. Snorkels and fins are available for rent, as well as life jackets or something like floaties. Since it was our daughter's first time snorkeling, she initially borrowed a bodyboard with a bottom window. As she got used to the water, she expressed a desire to try snorkeling on her own, so we rented a tube float, a child-sized snorkel, and fins, and enjoyed snorkeling together.

There was also a small child, about two years old, enjoying the sea on a board, so I think people of a wide range of ages can enjoy this activity. On the way back, snacks were provided. The snacks included taro chips and cut pineapple, and drinks included water, but for those who wanted, soft drinks could be purchased for one dollar, and alcoholic drinks were also available for a price I can't remember.

小3娘と夫婦の家族３人で参加しました。
私たちはワイコロアエリアに宿泊していたので、集合場所まではレンタカーで向かいました。
集合場所まではかなりの距離（40〜50分ほど）がありましたが、それもドライブと思い楽しみました。途中、野生のヤギを見かけたりして、子供は喜んでいました。
船は結構揺れますが、船酔いしている人はいなかった様です。ただ、船酔いが心配な方は酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいと思います。
参加者は日本人は私たちの他に２組ほど。あとは、韓国系の方や欧米系の方々でした。スタッフは英語しか通じません。でも、日本語で書かれた注意書きを貸してくれるので、専門的な英語は分からなくても多少の英語が話せれば問題ないです。
２台のすべり台が付いている船ということで、娘はとても楽しみにしていましたが、着いてびっくり！なんと、船の２階部分がすべり台の乗り場になっていて、すべり台の終わりがなんと海面からおよそ３メートルほども上なので、ほぼ海面に落ちるという感じです。
さすがに、怖くて私もできませんでした。
あとは、船からダイブというかジャンプしたりもできます。これは、船の２階からでもできるし、１階からもできます。
シュノーケルとフィンは貸し出してくれます。ライフジャケットか浮き輪のようなものも貸してくれます。娘は初めてのシュノーケルだったので、はじめは底窓付きのボディーボードのようなものを借りました。海に慣れてくると、自分でもシュノーケルをやってみたいと言い出したので、チューブ浮き輪と子供用シュノーケルとフィンを借りて、一緒にシュノーケルを楽しみました。
２歳くらいの小さな子もボードで海を楽しんでいましたので、幅広い年齢の方が楽しめると思います。
帰りにスナックが出されます。スナックはタロ芋チップスとカットパイナップル、飲み物は水が含まれますが、希望者は１ドルでソフトドリンク、値段は忘れましたがアルコールドリンクも買えます。

This was my first time snorkeling with manta rays, so I was a little apprehensive. But the crew members were reassuring and had a "chill" attitude that put me at ease. They also explanined everything very well. Also, expect that you might not see manta rays right away. I think it took almost a half hour before they appeared in our area of the bay.

Unforgettable, amazing memories. 忘れることのない最高の思い出

Reviewed by: coco

I participated with my 12-year-old son and my 89-year-old mother. The guide spoke entirely in English, and we were the only Asian participants, but everyone was very kind and the captain and crew provided the best hospitality. The views from the boat, the activities, the food, and the service were all wonderful.

During the activities at Kealakekua Bay, we encountered a variety of beautiful fish while snorkeling in the clear water, and we were lucky enough to see a pod of about ten dolphins swimming very close to the boat. There were slides and jumping platforms from the catamaran, allowing both children and adults to have a great time. My son, who had been afraid of going into the deep sea, ended up wanting to try jumping in, showing how he grew stronger under the charm of the beautiful bay.

We only needed to bring towels, as all the equipment like eco-friendly sunscreen, snorkels, fins, and flotation devices were provided.

As for my elderly mother, I believe it was thanks to the large Fair Wind boat that the ride was gentle, allowing her to sit comfortably throughout. During snorkeling, she was able to use a float to stay in the water, with the help of a very kind female crew member who watched over her the whole time.

Throughout the tour, it was clear that all the crew prioritized passenger safety and the protection of the beautiful nature, creating a tour with the best entertainment. There are various similar tours available, but I’m really glad we chose this one. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Big Island, and we look forward to participating again in the future. Thank you very much for this precious and enjoyable opportunity.

ケアラケクア湾でのアクティビティでは、美しい透き通った水の中、シュノーケルで多種多様なお魚に出会ったほか、10頭ほどのイルカの群が船のすぐ近くまで泳ぎに来たのに遭遇する事ができました。カタマランから水面へ飛び込む滑り台や、ジャンプ台など、子どもも大人も目一杯楽しむことができます。深い海に行く事を怖がっていた息子も、最後はジャンプに挑戦したくなったと、自然と美しい湾の魅力のもとで強くなった様でした。
持ち物はタオルのみでしたが、サンゴなどの海洋環境に優しい日焼け止めやシュノーケル、フィン、浮き具などの道具は全て貸して頂けました。

もっとも心配していた高齢母については、大きなフェアウィンド号ならではと思いますが、揺れは穏やかで終始座って過ごすことができ、またシュノーケリング時には浮き輪を使用して水に腰をつけさせて頂くことができました。これには、大変親切な女性クルーが手伝い、ずっと見守ってくださいました。

ツアー全体を通して、全てのクルーが、乗客の安全と美しい自然の保護をもっとも大切に、最高のエンターテイメントとともにツアーを作って下さっていることが伝わって来ました。
様々な同様のツアーがございますが、こちらのツアーに参加することができて本当に良かったです。
ハワイ島を訪れる方には、是非おすすめしたいツアー、私たちもまた参加できる時を楽しみにしております。
この度は、とても貴重な楽しい機会を誠にありがとうございました。
