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

Two hours of horseback riding. 乗馬たっぷり２時間

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a family. We took a taxi to the ranch. It took about an hour by car from the Hilton where we were staying (it might take longer if you're not familiar with the roads), costing around $100. Our family of three joined a group of four young foreigners, and we had two female guides. Excluding the safety instructions and equipment explanations, we had a full two hours of riding time. The guides spoke broken Japanese, but there were no issues. The horses were very gentle and seemed to remember the path on their own, so they moved forward just by riding them (though some cues were needed when they were slow). Those who wanted could canter, and my companion, despite being a beginner, managed to canter. It was said that there are some cold spots on the ranch, and the guides provided windbreakers for us. The guides, although speaking broken Japanese, were attentive to us, making for an enjoyable two hours. I booked the activity for the first time through Alan, and the process was smooth with no particular issues.

家族で参加しました。牧場まではタクシーを使いました。泊まっているヒルトンから車で飛ばして１時間（道に精通していなければ多分もっとかかります）、100ドルほどです。われわれ家族３人と外国人の若者グループ４人が参加して、ガイドの女性が２人つきました。注意事項や装備の説明を除いて乗っている時間はたっぷり２時間はありました。ガイドは片言の日本語ですが、問題はなかったです。馬は大変大人しく、自分で道を覚えており、乗っているだけで進んで行ってくれます〈遅い時は、多少の合図は必要です〉。希望者はキャンター（駆足）も可能で、連れは初心者にも関わらずキャンターをしてました。牧場内では寒くなる場所もあるそうで、ガイドがウインドブレーカーも用意してくれました。ガイドは日本語を片言ですが、われわれにも気を配ってくれて楽しい２時間でした。アランさんを通じて初めてアクティビティを予約しましたが、手続きはスムーズで特に問題はありませんでした。

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＞

It was so much fun! とにかく楽しかった！

Reviewed by: TANAKA

I read experiences about the high encounter rate with dolphins and decided to book this tour. As the captain mentioned, the number of drops was higher than other tours, and I was able to see many more dolphins up close than I expected! Since I can't swim, Daisuke was there to help me, allowing me to see the dolphins really closely and listen to detailed explanations about their behavior, which made me very satisfied. Thank you for taking photos as well.

イルカとの遭遇率が高いという体験談を読み、こちらのツアーを申し込みました。キャプテンのおっしゃっていた通り、ドロップ数が他のツアーよりも多く、イルカを期待していた以上に沢山、そして間近に見ることができました！泳げない私にはダイスケさんがついて下さって本当に近くでイルカをみることができ、イルカの生態などの説明をしっかり聞くこともできて、大満足です。写真も撮ってくださり、ありがとうございました。

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＞

The manta was good, but マンタは良かったけど

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The manta rays drifting in the night sea were enchanting, but it was very cold and the waves were quite high. The snorkeling lasted about an hour, which was pretty exhausting. I had no energy at all due to the cold and seasickness. It was scary to try to return to the boat on my own after getting separated from the group in the night sea, so I recommend being in good health before participating.

夜の海に漂うマンタは幻想的で良かったですが…
とても寒いしけっこう波が高いです。
１時間ほどのシュノーケリングだったのでかなりしんどかった。
寒さと波酔いでまったく余裕がありませんでした。
夜の海で自力でグループから離れて船に戻るのは怖くてがんばりましたが、
体調を万全にしての参加をお勧めします。

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's an exhilarating experience! スリリングな体験です！

Reviewed by: megu

During my trip to the Big Island, I was considering snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay. There were several tour options for transportation (like sea kayaking or boat rides), but I decided to join this tour because I wanted to enjoy the journey itself and it had great reviews.

I was extremely satisfied! We traveled by rubber boat, which was thrilling with quite a bit of speed. It felt like being on a roller coaster, bouncing up and down with the waves. At first, I was scared when we suddenly picked up speed, but once I got used to it, the wind felt nice, and I enjoyed it like an attraction.

Snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay was also beautiful, with clear waters, magnificent coral reefs, and a variety of fish. After about an hour, when I was getting tired, we returned to the boat where drinks, snacks, fruits, and sandwiches were prepared, and they were delicious.

On the way back, we were shown caves and coves formed by lava, which can only be seen from the sea, making it a valuable experience. Additionally, we were lucky enough to encounter a pod of dolphins, and the boat stopped to give us time to enjoy watching the leaping dolphins. It was my first time seeing so many dolphins at once.

Overall, there was never a dull moment, and it became a wonderful memory. I highly recommend it.

As a note, the travel time on the rubber boat is quite long, and towels are not included in the tour, so I think it's a good idea to bring one for when you get back on the boat after snorkeling.

ハワイ島への旅行中にケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングをしようと考えていました。
移動手段としてはいくつかツアーがありましたが（シーカヤックや船での移動）、移動そのものでも楽しみたかったこと、口コミ評価も高かったことからこちらのツアーへの参加を決めました。
ところ、、大満足でした！
ゴムボートで移動するのですが、かなりスピードが出てスリリングです。ジェットコースターに乗っているような感覚で、波に揺られて上下にも激しく揺れます。はじめに急にスピードが出た時は怖かったですが、慣れれば風も気持ちよく、アトラクション気分で楽しめました。
ケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングも、透明な海に壮大なサンゴ礁に様々なお魚が住んでおり、とても美しかったです。１時間くらいでしょうか、疲れた頃にボートに戻るとドリンク・スナック・フルーツ・サンドイッチが用意されており、とても美味しかったです。
帰りは途中に溶岩でできた洞窟や入江を案内してくれますが、これは海からでないと見ることのできない風景なので、貴重な経験でした。
また、運良くイルカの群れに遭遇したところ、ボートを止めてゆっくり時間をとってくれたので、飛び跳ねるイルカを堪能しました。一度にあんなに沢山のイルカを見たのは初めてです。
全体を通して飽きる箇所がなく、とても良い思い出になりました。おすすめです。

注意点とすれば、ゴムボートに乗っての移動時間がかなり長いということとと、タオルはツアーに含まれていないので、シュノーケリングからボードにあがったときのために用意した方がいいと思います。

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＞

Enjoying Hawaii Island from the sea. 海から楽しむハワイ島

Reviewed by: nori

The general flow of this tour is dolphin watching → snorkeling → lunch → sightseeing along the coastline. With about 15 participants sitting on the edge of the boat, we moved through the ocean boldly, which was a bit nerve-wracking at first, but it felt great to travel while enjoying the view of the Big Island and the sea with the wind in our faces.

On the way to the snorkeling spot, we saw a lot of dolphins, and being able to see them up close was the highlight for me. The boat quickly maneuvered ahead of the direction the pod was moving, allowing us to see the dolphins up close, which I think is unique to this boat. I couldn't help but keep clicking the camera shutter.

When we started snorkeling, equipment was distributed and there was an explanation, but I hardly understood any English. Since we were the only Japanese participants, I was mimicking those around me to put on the gear, and it was helpful that other participants noticed and kindly gestured to point out important things. I was thrilled to see beautiful fish up close while snorkeling, but the seawater felt cold, so I returned to the boat early.

After that, drinks were served on the boat, and we enjoyed a leisurely time while having sandwiches along with snacks and fruits. On the way back, we admired various points along the coastline that had been eroded by the waves into strange shapes, but it was disappointing that we didn't enter any caves.

This tour is perfect for enjoying the waters of the Big Island, and I was satisfied with the thrilling experiences that are not commonly found in Japan, as well as the opportunity to experience Hawaii's nature from the sea.

このツアーのおおまかな流れは、イルカ鑑賞→シュノーケリング→ランチ→海岸線のスポット見学になります。
15人程度の参加者がボートのふちに腰掛けるスタイルで豪快に海を移動しますので始めは緊張しましたが、ハワイ島と海を眺めつつ風を受けながらの移動は気持ちがいいです。

シュノーケリングのポイントへ向かうまでにたくさんイルカがいて、間近で見れたのが一番嬉しかったです。群れの移動する方向にボートがいち早く先回りするので間近にイルカ見れるのはこのボートならではかと思います。ついカメラのシャッターを切り続けてしまいました。

シュノーケリングを始める際、道具が配られ説明がありますが英語がほとんどわかりません。さらに日本人は私たちだけのため周囲のまねをして道具を着けていると、注意する点があったらしく周りの参加者が気付いて身振りで親切に教えてくれたのには助けられました。
シュノーケリング中きれいな魚も間近で見れて嬉しかったですが、海水が冷たく感じられ早々とボートへ戻ってしまいました。

その後ボートの上でドリンクが配られスナックやフルーツなどもあるサンドイッチのランチを取りながらのんびりした時間を過ごします。
帰りは海岸線に沿って波に削られ奇妙な形をしたポイントなど各所をボートから眺めますが、洞窟には入ることが無くこちらは残念でした。

ハワイ島の海を楽しむのに最適なツアーで、日本ではあまり見掛けないスリリングな体験や海からハワイの自然を体感できる内容に満足しました。

We were the only Japanese participants, and the tour was entirely in English. However, they explained everything slowly and clearly, which was very kind of them. I imagined we would only kayak a little and do some snorkeling, but we actually kayaked quite a bit and went far. It's not really recommended for those who lack stamina. But for active people like us, it was the perfect tour! It was so much fun!! We crossed beautiful seas and went right up to the cave, which was thrilling! For those who are brave, they also take you to a spot where you can jump from a 10-meter cliff, which was incredibly refreshing!

日本人の参加者は私たちだけで、すべて英語のツアーです。ただ、わかりやすいようにゆっくり説明してくれてとても親切でした。少しだけカヤックしてシュノーケリングのイメージでしたが、結構がっつりカヤックして遠くまで行きました。体力のない方はあまりおすすめではありません。でもアクティブな私達にはぴったりなツアーでした♪すっごく楽しかったです！！きれいな海を渡り、洞窟の前まで行ってスリル満天でした！勇気のある人は１０ｍの崖からジャンプできるスポットにも連れて行ってもらえるので、すごく爽快でした☆

Reviewed by: 辻公恵

I highly recommend this for people who love marine sports. It's a 4 to 5-hour tour on a rubber boat. During that time, the guide shares fun stories, and if we encounter a pod of dolphins, we can paddle alongside them. At the snorkeling spot, we stop the boat and everyone enjoys snorkeling individually. For lunch, they provide sandwiches, fruits, and drinks. We spend about two hours here, and once we're full, we get back on the boat to start rafting along the exposed lava rock formations. We went to the blowhole area while the guide entertained us with thrilling steering. We lost track of time and had an incredibly fun experience. The beautifully clear blue sea, playing with the fish, made it a truly enjoyable time. Thank you very much!

マリンスポーツが好きな人にはお勧めです。４，５時間ゴムボートの上でのツアーです。その間ガイドさんの楽しいおしゃべりとイルカの群れに出会えばイルカと一緒にボートを進め、シュノーケリングの場所ではボートを止めて皆シュノーケリングをめいめい楽しみます。お昼はサンドイッチやフルーツ、ドリンクなど出ます。ここで２時間ぐらい過ごしおなか一杯になったら又ボートに乗り今度は溶岩丸出しの岩肌に沿ってラフティング開始、溶岩説明など汐吹岩の場所まで行きスリリングな舵さばきで私たちを楽しませていただきました。時間を忘れあっという間の楽しいときを過ごしました。真っ青な透明度の良い綺麗な海、魚たちと戯れ時間を忘れ満喫してとっても楽しかったです。有難うございました。

Zodiac ゾディアック号

Reviewed by: takuma horiuchi

This time, I visited Hawaii for my honeymoon and went to the Big Island for the first time. Since it was the Big Island, I was looking for activities to experience its nature, and I found this tour. The Zodiac boat is an inflatable boat, so it was thrilling, and I could fully enjoy the Hawaiian breeze. During the voyage, I was able to see many schools of fish and wild dolphins. While snorkeling, I got to see various fish in the beautiful sea, which was very satisfying. Everyone else who participated with us was foreign, and there were no staff who spoke Japanese, which was a bit inconvenient, but it was a valuable experience overall. For lunch, they prepared sandwiches, snacks, and fruits right there on the spot. Eating lunch on the boat was pleasant and fantastic. However, while moving, despite being an inflatable boat, it goes at quite a speed, so you have to hold on tightly, or you might get thrown off. Therefore, it may not be recommended for elderly people or those who are prone to seasickness. Nonetheless, I had a very valuable experience and was satisfied. Thank you!

今回ハネムーンでハワイを訪れ初めてハワイ島に訪れました。せっかくのハワイ島なのでハワイ島の自然を感じられるアクティビティを探してたところこのツアーを見つけました。ゾディアック号はゴムボートなのでスリリングでハワイの風を存分に感じることができました。航海の途中では魚の群れや野生のイルカをたくさん見ることができました。シュノーケリングではとても綺麗な海の中で様々な魚を見ることができ大満足でした。一緒に参加した人たちは自分たち以外はすべて外国人でショップの人たちも日本語をしゃべれる人がいなかったため少し不便でしたがそれ以上に貴重な体験ができました。ランチにはサンドイッチやスナック菓子、フルーツまでその場で切って用意してくれます。ボートの上で食べるランチも気持ちよく最高でした。ただ移動中はゴムボートにもかかわらずかなりのスピードで走るのでかなり踏ん張って捕まってないと振り落とされそうになります。なのでご年配の方や船酔いしやすい方はあまりお勧めできないかもしれません。ただ私は大変貴重な体験ができ満足でした。

I encountered whales even in May! Thank you, Captain!! 5月でもクジラに出逢えた！サンキュー！キャプテン！！

Reviewed by: Sumi

The participants were a foreign elderly couple, one foreign woman, and us, a couple from Nagoya, Japan, along with our 10-year-old son, making a total of six people. At the beginning, during check-in, we were asked if we could speak English, and we were given a printed explanation in Japanese. However, that printout did not necessarily follow the order of the spots we would visit. The captain provided explanations while making jokes, but it was quite confusing. I thought it would have been helpful if he had indicated which part he was explaining at the moment. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand the details of the explanations at each point, which was disappointing. Reading the printout was also a hassle, especially for children. Our family, who can only speak broken English, really felt the need to be able to communicate in English! My husband asked the captain several times to speak in Japanese, and when he said it in English, the captain replied that he couldn't speak Japanese, which was amusing to witness.

On our way to the bay, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and it was adorable to see a baby dolphin swimming alongside its parent! If I could wish for anything, it would have been to swim with them. Later, the captain quickly spotted a whale and made a swift turn to approach it. We were curious about what he was pointing at, and to our surprise, there was a whale right in front of us! The day before, we had participated in a kayak tour to a cave and heard that the whales would leave in April, so we were amazed to see a wild whale up close for the first time. Our family was incredibly moved by the experience.

Additionally, the captain occasionally tried to speak Japanese for our sake, but it seemed he had mistakenly learned to refer to whales as "Godzilla," as he kept pointing at the whale and saying, "Godzilla! Godzilla!" We couldn't help but laugh when we realized what he meant. This was our first time on the Big Island, and the water was incredibly clear. We swam with many tropical fish and felt like we could stay there forever, losing track of time while exploring underwater. The water temperature was warm in the shallow areas and cooler in the deeper parts, but we were constantly amazed by the stunning blue of the ocean. The lunch sandwiches were delicious, and the captain prepared fresh pineapple for us, which was perfectly chilled and fantastic! The boat was fast and thrilling with sharp turns, and our child was overjoyed. We plan to come back to the Big Island next year!

参加者は、外国人の老夫婦、外国人女性1人と私達、日本の名古屋人夫婦と10才の息子の6人でした。始めに、チェックイン時に英語が話せるか確認されて、日本語の説明プリントが渡されましたが、そのプリントは、必ずしも周る順でなく、スポットで立ち寄ってくれてキャプテンがなにやら、ジョークを交じながら説明してくれてるのですが、ちんぷんかんぷんで、説明の時に今はここを説明してるとか言ってくれると解って良かったのになと思いました。なので、ポイントごとの説明内容は、解らずで残念でした。やはり、プリントを読むのも面倒なので、特に子供などは。かたことの英語しか話せないうちらファミリーは、英語が話せなきゃいかん！とつくづく痛感したのでした。主人は、何度かキャプテンに日本語で言って！と英語で言えば、キャプテンも日本語話せんよと返してましたが、その2人のやりとりは、笑えました。湾に行く途中、イルカの群れに会い赤ちゃんイルカが、親子で並走したりして可愛かったです！欲言えば、一緒に泳ぎたかったですが。その後、キャプテンは、目ざとくクジラを見つけると素早く方向転換し、スーッとクジラに近づきはじめ私達は、なんだろうと思い指差す方を見てみると、なんと！小さいながらもクジラが目の前すぐそこにいるではありませんか！前日にカヤックで洞窟行くツアーに参加して、クジラは、四月で帰っちゃいましたと、聞いていただけに、もうびっくりで、初めて間近で見る野生のクジラに大感動の一家三人衆なのでした。あと、キャプテンは、時々、私達に気を遣ってくれて日本語を言うのですが、どうやら、クジラのことをゴジラと勘違いして覚えたらしく、しきりにクジラを指差し、ゴジラ！ゴジラ！と…何がゴジラなんだろうと？それが理解出来た時は、こちらも笑っちゃいました。今回、初ハワイ島で、海は透明度抜群で、たくさんのトロピカルフィッシュたちと泳ぎ、飽きることなくいつまでもそこにいたい感じで時の経つのも忘れてしまうほど、夢中になってずっと海中散策してしまい、水中温度は、浅瀬は高く、深い所は低いけど、吸い込まれそうな海の碧さにも感動しっぱなしでした。ランチのサンドイッチもとても美味しくてパインもその場でキャプテンがパインボードにしてくれ、良く冷えててサイコーでした！ボートは、スピードもあって急旋回してスリル満点！子供も大喜びで、来年からは、ハワイ島に来ます‼‼

One of the few tours that truly moves you. 感動を与えてくれる数少ないツアー

Reviewed by: 冒険心を忘れぬ定年夫婦

A 64-year-old man who is not good at swimming or English, along with his wife who is even less skilled in both, signed up for this tour because of the possibility of seeing dolphins swimming naturally up close.

On the day of the tour, when we arrived at the meeting place, there were four of us Japanese: a young couple and us. The rest were four pairs of older couples from the mainland United States, along with two guides, making a total of 14 people. The rubber boat was fully booked.

As we set off, we soon encountered a turtle swimming leisurely in the bay. Once we reached the open sea, the two 150-horsepower engines easily sped the light rubber boat up to 20 knots (about 37 km/h). I thought it was strange that the tour was named "rafting" even though it wasn't a white-water rafting experience, but feeling the wind and splashes of waves all over my body was refreshing. I truly felt that Americans are good at finding dynamic activities.

After about 20 minutes, we spotted them: a "pod of dolphins." Just like on TV, they started to swim alongside us. After watching for a while, they performed two aerial jumps with twists. I felt like they were playing with us, and I was very satisfied.

When we arrived at Captain Cook's Cove, we were given life jackets and cylindrical floaties since neither of us could swim. At first, I was just floating leisurely and looking at the surface of the sea when suddenly I saw a beautiful coral reef. Upon closer inspection, I noticed real, colorful tropical fish swimming around the reef. I became engrossed in observing the tropical fish and found an angelfish.

I had many opportunities to see coral reefs on submarine tours before, but I had never seen such colorful coral reefs and tropical fish. Later, I found out that the Big Island of Hawaii is a young island, so the scale of the coral reefs is small, which contributes to its world-renowned clarity.

Lastly, a word of caution: be sure to bring a hat that can be secured with a string. A baseball cap can be blown away, resulting in sunburn on your head.

泳ぐのも、英語も不得意な64歳の男と、さらにどちらも不得意な妻が、このツアーを申し込んだのは、自然に泳ぐイルカを間近で見れる可能性があるからでした。
当日、集合場所に行くと日本人は若夫婦と私達の計4名、他はアメリカ本土から来た4組の熟年カップル。そして、ガイド役の2人で計14名。これでゴムボートは満席になりました。
出発すると、まもなく湾の中をゆったり泳ぐ亀に出会いました。外海にでると、１５０馬力２機のエンジンで、軽いゴムボートを簡単に２０ノット（約37km/h）までスピードアップします。
ツアー名で「ラフティング」の文字があり急流下りでもないのに、変だなと思っていましたが、体全体で受ける風と波しぶきを浴びると、これだけで爽快感を感じ、アメリカ人はダイナミックな遊びを見つけるのが旨いことをつくづく感じました。
２０分程すると、見えました。「イルカの群れ」です。テレビで見たように、追走してくれました。暫く見てると、空中ジャンプ２回捻りを繰り返しやってくれました。遊んでくれていると感じることができ、大満足でした。
キャプテン・クック岬につき、泳げない私達二人にはライフジャケットと円柱状の浮き輪を渡されました。
最初、適当にのんびりプカリと浮きながら海面を見ていたら、突然綺麗なサンゴ礁が見え、よく見ると、本物の色とりどりの熱帯魚がサンゴ礁の周りを泳いでいるのが見えました。夢中になり熱帯魚観察をしているエンゼルフィッシュを見つけました。
潜水艦ツアーなどでサンゴ礁を見る機会がいままで何回もありましたが、これ程カラフルなサンゴ礁と熱帯魚を見たことがありませんでした。
後で、調べてみると、ハワイ島は若い島なので、サンゴ礁の規模が小さく、これが逆に世界的に有数な透明度を誇っているとのことで納得しました。
最後に注意事項ですが、帽子は紐で止めることが出来るものを持参すべし。野球帽では飛ばされてしまい、結果、頭の上が日焼けすることになります。
以上

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＞

My first close encounter with a dolphin. 人生初のイルカ接近

Reviewed by: tamura

If you want to see dolphins, Hawaii Island is the place to be! That's why I joined this tour. Actually, I couldn't get a reservation for another tour, so I chose this one, and it might be the best on Hawaii Island, just as the reviews said. I think the facilities and attentiveness were very suitable for Japanese people. Both our guide Leo and Captain Ichiro were friendly and made us feel very secure on the water. We encountered more dolphins than I had expected. It seems that the experience can vary depending on the day's conditions, but I felt like we had ample time. Also, since I got sunburned from kayaking the day before, they recommended some aloe gel from ABC on the way back. I really appreciated their help. I can confidently recommend this tour!

イルカを見るなら大自然のハワイ島だ！ということでこのツアーに参加しました。
実は、他のツアーで予約が取れずこのツアーにしたのですが、
口コミどおり、ハワイ島で一番いいかもしれません。
設備・気遣いともに日本人向きのイルカツアーだったと思います。
ガイドのレオさん・キャプテンのイチローさんともに気さくに接していただき、海の上では非常に頼もしかったです。イルカたちにも期待していた以上に出会うことができました。
その日の状況にもよるようですが、時間も多めにとって頂いた印象です。
また、前日のシーカヤックで日焼けをしすぎた私には、帰りにABCでお勧めのアロエジェルを紹介していただきました。その節は、大変お世話になりました。
このツアー自信を持ってお勧め出来ます。

It became the best memory. 最高の思い出になりました

Reviewed by: Mio

I never imagined I would be able to see wild dolphins up close like that. My husband, who was initially not very enthusiastic, ended up being very satisfied. It was amazing to see so many dolphins swimming happily in the clear blue sea! Daisuke and the captains' deep love for the dolphins really came through, and it made us happy too. This became our best memory of the Big Island. Thank you very much!!

野生のイルカがあんなに近くで見られるなんて想像もしていませんでした。最初はなかなか乗り気じゃなかった旦那も大変満足していました。透明のブルーの海で仲良く泳ぐイルカたちがたくさん見られて最高です！ダイスケさん、キャプテンたちのイルカへの深い愛が伝わってきて、こちらまで幸せになりました。ハワイ島一番の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！！

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＞

I was moved by everything! 全てに感動しました！

Reviewed by: HATO

This was our second time on the Big Island with my husband. Last time, it was winter, so it was a bit chilly, and we couldn't go into the ocean. This time, we wanted to fully enjoy the sea, so we participated in snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, known for its stunning clarity, which is not easily accessible by car.

There was no hotel shuttle, and we had to meet at Honokohau Marina, so I think those without a car should be cautious. We had rented a car for the entire day, so it wasn't an issue for us. The instructions and explanations were all in English, but we received a printed guide in Japanese, so that was not a problem either.

I was surprised by how fast the boat was as we departed, and along the way, we saw a pod of dolphins and a school of flying fish, which was an emotional experience to see up close. The explanations about the lava caves were all in English, so I couldn't understand them, but I was able to feel enough from the printed guide and what I could see.

Furthermore, at Kealakekua Bay, I was amazed by the clarity of the water and the size of the fish. Both my husband and I were captivated, watching the fish. After returning from snorkeling, there was actually a fish book on the boat, and we were excited to find the fish we had just seen up close, exclaiming, "There it is! I saw that!!!"

We also enjoyed lunch, which included sandwiches, drinks, snacks, and fruit, and eating on the boat was exceptionally delicious.

I was moved by everything! I would love to use this service again when we visit the Big Island.

今回旦那と二人で、ハワイ島二回目で、前回は季節が冬だったので肌寒く、海に入れませんでした。
その為今回は、海を満喫しようと思い、車ではなかなか行けず、感動する透明度と名高い、ケアラケクア湾シュノーケルに参加しました。
ホテルからの送迎がなく、ホノコハウ・マリーナ集合の為、車がない方は注意が必要かと思います。
私たちは終日レンタカーを借りていたので、問題なかったです。
また終始英語での注意事項・説明でしたが、日本語のプリントを頂いたので、そこも問題なかったです。
出発して思ってたより速いボートに驚きながらも途中イルカの群れや、トビウオの群れがいて、間近で見ることが出来て感動しました。
溶岩洞窟についての説明は全て英語だったので、理解できませんでしたが、頂いたプリントと目視で充分感じることができました。
更にケアラケクア湾では、海の透明度と魚の大きさに驚きました。
私も旦那も夢中になって、魚を観賞しました。
またシュノーケリングから戻った後も実際にボートに魚の本があり、先ほど間近で見た魚を見つけることが出来て「これいたね！これ見た見た！！！」と興奮。
ランチもサンドイッチとドリンクとスナックとフルーツを頂き、ボートの上で食べるのもまた格別に美味しかったです。

全てに感動しました！またハワイ島に行った際には利用したいです。

Hawaii Forest & Trail - Bird Watching Tour at Hakalau National Wildlife Refuge

I truly enjoyed the birdwatching trip.

Reviewed by: Ms Williams

I truly enjoyed the birdwatching trip. Our guide, Mark, was fantastic -- he educated us on the birds we would hopefully see and was helpful with questions about other wildlife in the area. I also enjoyed meeting the rest of the group on the tour -- wish I would have thought to exchange contact information to get some of the photos one couple was taking during the trip.

ハワイ島 アトランティス潜水艦　ハワイの海底アドベンチャー ＜日本語オーディオガイド＞　

It's a fairly good experience. それなりに良い体験です。

Reviewed by: bill

My wife and I participated together. Since my wife can't swim, we decided to skip snorkeling and go for the submarine tour instead. We had just visited the "Bunasé Underwater Park" in Okinawa last month, so we weren't too impressed by the fish, but we were amazed that the submarine went down to 30 meters.

妻と二人で参加しました。内の奥さんはカナヅチなのでシュノーケリングへの参加を諦め潜水艦ツアーに決めました。先月沖縄の「ブナセ海中公園海中展望台」に行ったばかりでしたので、魚への感動は余りありませんでしたが、潜水艦が３０ｍも潜水したのには感動しました。

Oceanfront Royal Kona Resort Luau Voyagers of the Pacific Show - Dinner, Drinks & Fire Knife Dance

Very enjoyable luau

Reviewed by: David

We had a very nice time at this luau. The setting was beautiful, the food delicious, plenty of drink available with fast service when refilling, and friendly staff. Something we really liked about this luau compared to one we attended on Maui is that this is a much smaller crowd which was very conducive when refilling beverages and getting your food at the buffet.

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 a fun show. 楽しいショーでした

Reviewed by: おけいちゃん

I read in reviews that there would be a long line, so I arrived more than 30 minutes early, but there was already quite a queue. I was a bit worried because it was drizzling, but by the time we were allowed in, it had cleared up, which was a relief. Once seated, all the announcements were in English, so I didn't understand much and just followed the movements of others. At first, we passed by the food line to get drinks like Mai Tai and fruit punch, while others were happily chatting, dancing, and checking out the whole roasted pig. I couldn't join in the conversation due to my limited English, which left me feeling a bit bored. About an hour later, everyone finally started to get their meals, so the two of us went to get ours. There were local dishes like ahi poke and poi, making for quite an enjoyable meal. The luau show that finally started featured a person dressed as King Kamehameha and various dances, and I thought it was well done, just as the reviews had said. As an impatient Japanese person, I felt the pace was a bit slow, but I came to understand that it allowed for a more leisurely enjoyment. I believe it was a show worth the price.

クチコミでかなり並ぶと書いてあったので受付時間より３０分以上早く行ったけれど既にかなりの行列になっていた。少し雨がぱらついていたので心配だったけれど入場の頃にはなんとかやんでホッ。席についてからの案内は全て英語なのでよく分からないまま他の人を動きを見ながら最初は食べ物の並んだところを通り過ぎてマイタイとかフルーツポンチなどの飲み物を取りにいき、他の人は楽しくおしゃべりしたり踊ったり豚の丸焼の見学にいったり楽しんでいるけど、こちらはカタコトの英語で会話には加われず、暇を持てあましてしまった。１時間くらいしてからやっとみんなが食事を取り始めたので、私たち二人も取りにいった。アヒポキやポイなど郷土料理もあってなかなか楽しい食事だった。やっと始まったルアウショーはカメハメハ大王に扮した人の入場や各種のダンスなど評判どおりなかなかよくできていたと思う。せっかちな日本人にとってはあまりにも流れが悠長だと感じたが、それはそれでゆっくり楽しめるということでもあると納得。値段に見合ったショーだと思う。

The voice of the dolphin was so cute! イルカちゃんの声がかわいかったー

Reviewed by: COCO

In late April, I joined a tour because I wanted to see wild dolphins. I was amazed at how many there were! I was able to see several baby dolphins as well. The sight of Spinner jumping while spinning was so wonderful and exciting. The captain and the swim guide, Daisuke, were very kind, and the tour was a lot of fun. On the way back, they also showed us a manta ray, and I was moved to see a different side of the manta ray at night. I highly recommend both the night manta ray tour and the daytime dolphin tour! 😊

4月下旬、野生のイルカを見てみたくて参加しました。こんなにたくさんいるの！？と驚いてばかり。赤ちゃんイルカも数頭みることができました。スピナーちゃんが回転しながらジャンプしている姿がとっても素敵で興奮しました。キャプテンもスイムガイドのダイスケさんも親切にしてくださり、ツアーがとても楽しかったです。また帰りにマンタも見せてくれて、夜のマンタとはまた違った姿を見ることができ感動しました。夜のマンタツアーと昼のイルカツアー、両方おすすめです＾＾
