It was amazing! 最高でした！

Reviewed by: のびのびのんたん

We went to the Big Island for our honeymoon.

Both of us were anxious since it was our first time snorkeling, but the captain and Daisuke were very kind, making it the best memory of our trip.

Even though they said there was a 99% chance of seeing wild dolphins, we were unsure if we would actually see them, but we were able to meet so many dolphins, which was truly moving.

Additionally, there were only eight participants, including us, so it was a small group. Daisuke took us close to the dolphins, allowing us to see them up close!

I couldn't swim, but there were floatation devices available, so I didn't have to worry.

It's definitely worth participating!!

新婚旅行でハワイ島に行きました。

２人とも初めてのシュノーケリングで不安でしたが、船長さんも大輔さんもとても親切で、この旅行で一番の思い出になりました。

野生のイルカなので、９９％会えるとは言っても本当に会えるかわからないという中、本当にたくさんのイルカちゃんに会うことができ、本当に感動しました。

また私たちを含めて、参加者は８名の少人数制で、一緒に潜る大輔さんがイルカの近くまで連れて行ってくれたため、とても近くでイルカを見ることもできました！

私は泳げませんでしたが、ちゃんと浮き棒があるので、心配いりませんでした。

参加の価値ありです！！

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＞

Full of impact! 迫力満点！

Reviewed by: papa

I participated on the day I arrived on the Big Island. Since my hotel was the Kona Coast Resort, it was just a short walk to the Keauhou Shopping Center where the Sea Paradise office is located. I found it cumbersome to confirm my reservation over the phone, so I went directly to the office to do so. (Photo: Since it was from the hotel, the office was in the building immediately to the right after entering from the lower entrance of the shopping center.) You walk past the Hilton to get to the port. They give you a map, so it's easy to find. As mentioned in the reviews, I rented a wetsuit next to the office. Everyone rented one. It takes just a little over 5 minutes from the port to the location where there is an English explanation. There were no other Japanese people besides my family. It's totally fine if you don't understand English. Each person receives a buoy, and (a large foreign man received two) you tuck it under your arm and enter the sea. As noted in the reviews, the best position is near the light. I absolutely recommend it. Mantas come right away, and their power is astonishing. About three of them circle around so closely that you can almost touch them.

Points:
- Be sure to rent a wetsuit.
- Position yourself near the light.
- While you tuck the buoy under your arm on the raft, when on the raft, hold it with your hands and bring the buoy to your feet to view it horizontally. If it's near your upper body, you may get seasick after about 40 minutes.

If possible, bring a digital camera that can record video; you'll be able to capture amazing footage. You can take beautiful pictures even without a flash. Since the manta's movements are fast, photos may come out blurry. I used a LUMIX FT-20 and captured some impressive videos.

If you're hesitating about whether to participate, I can assure you it will be a wonderful memory.

ハワイ島に到着した日に参加しました。ホテルがコナコーストリゾートだったのでシーパラダイス事務所があるケアホウショッピングセンターまでは歩いてすぐでした。電話で予約再確認をするのも面倒だったので直接事務所に行って予約再確認をしました。（写真：ホテルからだったのでショッピングセンターの下側の入り口から入ってすぐの右側の建物に事務所がありました。）港へはヒルトンの前を通っていきます。地図をくれるのですぐにわかります。書き込みにあるように事務所の隣でウェットスーツを借りました。全員借りていました。港からは5分ちょっとくらいで場所につき英語の説明があります。私たち家族以外は日本人はいませんでした。英語がわからなくても全く大丈夫です。うきうき棒を一人ずつもらい、（太っている外人の男の人は2本もらっていました）脇に挟んで海に入ります。書き込みにあったようにライトの近くがベストポジションです。絶対お勧めです。すぐにマンタがやってきてその迫力にびっくり。3匹くらいがほとんど触れるくらいに何度も旋回してやってきます。
ポイント
ウェットスーツは必ず借りる。

ライトの近くに陣取る。

うきうき棒はいかだまでは脇に挟んでいきますが、いかだでは手でいかだをもってうきうき棒は足の先に持っていき水平になって見ます。上半身にあると40分くらい入っていると波酔いしやすくなります。

できれば動画が撮れるデジカメを持っていくと素晴らしい動画が撮れます。フラッシュなしでもきれいに撮れます。写真はマンタの動きが速いのでぶれてしまいます。LUMIX FT-20で撮りましたが迫力ある動画が撮れました。

どうしようかと迷っている方は是非参加されたら素晴らしい思い出になること間違いありません。

Seven rotation jump! ７回転ジャンプ！

Reviewed by: natti

I participated on November 18th.

The dolphins swim so close that it feels like I could reach out and touch them. The ones in a good mood make eye contact and invite you to play with them. They show off incredible moves, including a seven-spin jump after gaining momentum, and even some things that are hard to describe.

Our guide, Daisuke, cheerfully declared, "I’m going to have a great time too," which made the tour really enjoyable and uplifting. He kept the conversation lively and entertaining, so the travel time never felt boring. Plus, our reliable captain accurately predicted the dolphins' movements, allowing us to see them at every spot. Both of them were the best guides. Thank you so much for a dream-like experience.

It was such a wonderful tour that I would love to participate again, even two or three times. I highly recommend it!

11/18に参加させて頂きました。

本当に手をのばせば届いてしまいそうなくらいの距離をイルカが泳いでくれます。機嫌がいい子は目を合わせてくれたり、一緒に遊ぼうと誘ってくれます。水中で勢いをつけてからの7回転ジャンプ、ちょっと言えないあんなことまで全部見せてくれます。

ガイドの大輔さんは明るく「自分もめっちゃ楽しみますから」と堂々と宣言していて本当に楽しく気持ちのいいツアーでした。話題も豊富で楽しませてくれて、移動時間も全然飽きません。また、頼れるキャプテンがイルカのラインをことごとく正確に言い当ててくれるので、すべてのポイントでイルカに会えました。お二人は最高のガイドです。夢のような時間を本当にありがとうございました。

二度でも三度でも参加したいくらいの素敵なツアー。オススメです！

So cute!! ！！めっちゃかわいい！！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated with my husband on our first trip to the Big Island.

We were really lucky that day, as we saw three manta rays before swimming with the dolphins. After that, we encountered dolphins that happened to be in a good mood, and we could hear their sounds and meet many dolphins. Our guide, Daisuke, worked hard to lead everyone to where the dolphins were, allowing us to see them up close, which was truly moving. The dolphins were also swimming around him playfully.

The weather was great that day, and we could see Maui and Mauna Kea as well. After the tour ended and we were returning to the harbor, one of the guides pointed out a whale, and when we looked in that direction, we saw a humpback whale spouting water and could clearly see its small tail.

Experiencing such a wonderful day on the Big Island has truly become the best memory. The dolphins are incredibly cute, and the guide was fantastic. I would love to participate again next time and highly recommend it to everyone.

Thank you so much!

初めてのハワイ島で旦那と２人で参加しました。

この日は本当にラッキーでイルカと泳ぐ前にマンタが３匹いて観る事ができました。
その後イルカにも出会いその日はたまたま機嫌が良く凄くたくさん鳴き声が聞こえてたくさんのイルカにも出会う事ができました。
ガイドの大輔さんも一生懸命皆さんをイルカの居る方に誘導して頂いて間近で観る事ができて感動しました。イルカも彼の近くをぐるぐる回って遊んでいました。

この日は天気も良くマウイ島やマウナケアも観れました。
そしてツアーが終了して港に帰っていると、ガイドの１人がクジラっと言って指差した方角を観ているとザトウクジラが潮を吹いてクジラの小尾までしっかりと見れました。

こんな素敵な日をハワイ島で経験する事ができて本当に最高の思い出になりました。イルカもめっちゃかわいいですし、ガイドさんも最高でした。

I participated on November 22nd and was very nervous at first, but I had a great time!! I was able to spend the best honeymoon on my trip.

The guide, Daisuke, explained everything very thoroughly, and even as a beginner, I was taken to the point where I could touch the dolphins, so I think everyone can participate with peace of mind. I was really moved when Daisuke dove in and played with the dolphins; it felt like he was communicating with them and interacting like friends.

I will definitely participate again when I come back to the Big Island, and I highly recommend it to everyone.

マウナケア山頂 サンセット＆星空観測ツアー ＜午後／天体望遠鏡／夕食付／英語ガイド＞ by ハワイフォレスト＆トレイル

I had a different experience compared to the Japanese tour. 日本語ツアーとは違った体験ができました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The Japanese tour was fully booked, so my family participated in this one. The tour guide spoke English at a relentless speed, so I couldn't understand the detailed explanations, but I was very satisfied to see the sunset above the sea of clouds and an unexpectedly beautiful starry sky.

Many of the other participants were middle-aged individuals from the mainland United States, and everyone was very sociable, which made for an interesting experience in that sense.

There were meal options at a mountain lodge along the way, but I think everyone ended up eating chicken. At the top of the mountain, someone felt a bit unwell, but there were oxygen tanks available, so they recovered partway through. Since the travel was only by car, there was no physical activity at all.

During the stargazing, the explanations were thorough, but the cold really hit me. It's best to prepare as much warm clothing as possible. It might have been even better if I had studied the stars in advance. It was my first time seeing so many clear stars.

　日本語ツアーが満席だったので家族でこちらに参加しました。
　ツアーガイドさんは容赦ないスピードの英語でしたので詳しい説明は理解できませんでしたが、雲海の上の夕日と期待以上の満天の星空をみることができたのでとても満足しました。
　他の参加者はアメリカ本土の中年の方が多く、みなさんとても社交的でいろいろ話ができて、そういった意味でもおもしろい体験ができました。
　途中の山小屋のようなところでの食事は事前に選択肢がありましたが、結果的にみなチキンを食べていたと思います。
　山の上では、少し具合が悪くなった方がいましたが、酸素ボンベが準備してあったので途中から復活していました。車での移動だけなので運動量はまったくなかったです。
　天体観測のときは、じっくり説明をしてもらえるので理解できないこともあり寒さが身にしみました。できる限りの防寒具を用意していったほうがよいです。
　事前に星の勉強をしていけばもっとよかったかもしれません。あんなにたくさんのはっきりとした星を見たのは初めてです。

Perfect!! パーフェクト！！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I have swum with dolphins many times, but this tour is exceptional. The process of getting to the point by boat is thrilling and feels like a little attraction, unlike a regular boat ride. Since they know the spots where dolphins appear, the boat speeds ahead to drop us off at the point before the dolphins arrive, so even just floating, the dolphins come towards you. Sometimes they get so close that it takes your breath away. Of course, for those who are good swimmers, you can dive in and swim alongside the dolphins!

If you get tired along the way, they lend you noodles, and there are multiple opportunities to dive, so you can enjoy watching everyone swim from the boat or see the dolphins jump, all at your own pace. If there are only one or two chances, you might feel pressured to push yourself even if you're tired...

Because Mr. Nawata is very friendly and knows how to have fun, he tries to accommodate requests as much as possible. If you're going to participate in the future, please feel free to ask questions and make requests actively!

イルカとは何度も泳いだことがありますが、このツアーは格別。ボートでポイントまで行く過程もスピード感があり船とは違ってちょっとしたアトラクション。イルカの現れるポイントを知り尽くしているため、イルカより先に先にとボートを走らせポイントに落としてくれるので、ただ浮かんでいるだけでも、イルカが向かってきます。近すぎて思わず、ドキッとすることも・・。もちろん、泳ぎが得意な人は、ダイブしてイルカと伴走することも！！
途中疲れたらヌードルを貸してくれたり、何度もダイブのチャンスがあるので、ボートの上でみんなが泳ぐのを見たり、イルカがジャンプするのを見たりと、自分のペースで楽しめるのも魅力的。チャンスが1回や２回のところだと、思わずきつくても無理してしまいがちですが・・
とても気さくで、楽しみ方を知っている縄田さんだから、リクエストも出来る限り応えようとしてくれます。是非、これから参加される方は、あれこれ積極的に、質問、リクエストしてみて下さい。

Not only did we get to see them, but they also created bubble rings and swam around me, playing a lot! I received so much energy from this experience! The two staff members were very friendly and reliable, and they responded flexibly and generously, which made me feel very at ease. Next time, I definitely want to bring an underwater camera!

I was able to see dolphins. イルカは見れました。

Reviewed by: EMI

I was able to see dolphins for the first time on this tour, but I felt a few things were complicated. First, there was almost no explanation on how to use the snorkel and fins, and during the actual event, we didn't have any practice before getting into the dolphin zone from the boat in the deep sea. Additionally, my husband's snorkel was attached the wrong way, causing seawater to flow back into the tube when he put his face in the water, making it very difficult for him to breathe and quite stressful. When we returned to the boat to ask questions, we didn't receive a solid response, so we had to figure out the cause and deal with it ourselves. We had mentioned that it was our first time, and everyone around us was inexperienced as well, so I felt that without a more careful approach, it wouldn't be surprising if an accident occurred someday. With 12 customers to one staff member and the captain, it didn't feel like a small group, and I was disappointed by the lack of attentive service.

Also, we participated without having breakfast, but we didn't receive the light snacks (like snacks) that were mentioned in the tour details; we only got one can of juice to share. Furthermore, at the location where the dolphins were, we didn't see any tropical fish or other marine life. Since it was just deep sea, I thought it would have been better to join another tour that mentioned stopping at a coral reef snorkeling spot on the way back.

While I did get to see the dolphins and had some fun, if I had the chance to go again, I wouldn't sign up for this tour... I would prefer to join a different dolphin tour.

ツアーに参加して始めてイルカを見ることが出来ましたが、何点か複雑に感じました。まず、シュノーケルやフィンの使い方の説明がほとんどと言っていいほどなかった上、本番、深い海で、船からイルカゾーンに降りるまで、一度も練習のようなものもしないということです。また、それだけでなく旦那さんのシュノーケルの筒❓が左右逆に取り付けられており、海に顔をつけると筒から海水が逆流してきて息が出来ずにとても焦りました。船に戻って質問してもあまりしっかりと応じてもらえず、自分たちで原因を考えて対処しました。初めてということは伝えてありましたし、周りの方も経験がない方ばかりだったのに、もう少し丁寧な対応がなければいつか事故が起きても不思議ではないと感じました。お客さん12人に1人のスタッフと船長で、あまり少人数制とも感じませんでしたし、きめ細やかな対応はなく、残念に感じました。
また、朝ごはんも食べずに参加しましたが、ツアー内容に記載されていたような軽食（スナックなど）はもらえず、缶ジュースを二人で一本もらえただけでした。
また、イルカのいる場所では熱帯魚や他の海の生物は見られませんでした。深い海が広がるだけなので、サンゴ礁のシュノーケルスポットに帰りに立ちよってもらえるとあった、別のツアーのほうに参加すれば良かったなと感じました。
イルカは見られましたし、楽しませてもらえましたが、もしもう一度いけるならこのツアーには申し込みません。。。別のイルカツアーで参加したいです。

I participated with my mother, who cannot swim. Thanks to the support from the captain and Daisuke, who helped my mother overcome her fear, I was able to enjoy myself to the fullest. Although my mother gave up snorkeling after a little while, she was able to see the dolphins underwater, and she was very satisfied watching the dolphins jump and seeing large groups of dolphins from the boat, while feeling the beautiful sea and breeze.

I saw dolphins playing with jellyfish, and when I thought one had stopped right below me, it created a bubble ring! There were dolphins coming towards us and suddenly appearing from behind... it was a dolphin paradise!

It was a very satisfying half-day, from cruising to swimming. Next time, I want to improve my free diving skills so I can play together with my mother and participate again!

泳げない母と参加しました。恐怖心がある母をキャプテンとダイスケさんがサポートしてくれたおかげで私は思う存分たのしめました。スノーケルは少しで断念した母ですが、水中のイルカもちゃんとみれて、イルカのエガチャンジャンプや多くのイルカの群れを船上でみたり、きれいな海と風を感じでとても満足しておりました。
私は、クラゲと遊ぶイルカをみたり、真下で止まった？？？とおもったらバブルリングをつくってくれたイルカがいたり。。。向かってくるイルカや背面からいきなり現れるイルカもいたり。。。そこはイルカ天国でした！
クルージングからスイミングまで大満足の半日でした。
今度は素潜りがうまくできるようになっていっしょに遊べるようになってまた参加したいとおもいます！

If you're not confident in your English, please make sure to check the parking in advance. Even without understanding the language, the dance and music of the show were enjoyable.

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Big Island Kayaking FUN

Reviewed by: Mark Mazzuca

We enjoyed the Keauhou Kayaking Adventure very much. The Staff was outstanding! They were patient and very capable kayakers. One led while the other stayed in the back for those that were a bit slower. We didn't feel rushed or exhausted, as Walter kept the pace based on the group's abilities. We had some pretty decent swells and were not able to get close to the Sea Cave, but the scenery was still incredible. The snorkeling stop was fun, and the Staff had enough masks/snorkels for everyone. There were some first-timers with our group and there were times when they struggled a bit, but in the parking lot afterwards said they had a great time. The Staff, again, was very patient with them and never made them feel like beginners.

I encountered a lot of dolphins!! たくさんイルカに遭えました！！

Reviewed by: のっちさん

I participated in a tour on October 22.

That day, the wind was a bit strong, so the small boat jumped quite a bit, which was thrilling and fun, but it took a lot of energy just to hold on. I think it would have been better if we had been taught how to hold onto the boat properly in advance.

Now, regarding the dolphins, I was a bit anxious because we couldn't encounter a pod for a while, but once we did, it was an extraordinary gathering. It seemed to be a baby boom, as we got to swim with many dolphins with their young. Seeing the pod of dolphins in the clear blue sea was mystical and moving. I got a bit seasick halfway through and couldn't get in the water during the latter part, but I was very satisfied to see the dolphins jumping and swimming gracefully on the surface from the boat.

The swim guide, Daisuke, is a self-proclaimed dolphin lover. His sparkling eyes resembled those of the dolphins we encountered in the sea. His thoughtful attention and polite demeanor towards everyone, along with his full-on "I love dolphins and Hawaii" aura, allowed all participants to relax and enjoy a happy time. Thank you so much to the cheerful captain and guide Daisuke!

Depending on the condition of the sea, some people may not be able to fully enjoy it, so I rated it a "4 stars," but I definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Big Island.

10/22にツアーに参加しました。

その日は少し風が強かったのでやや小型の船は何度も大きくジャンプし、スリルがあって楽しかったのですが、船に捕まっているだけで体力を使いました。上手なボートへのつかまり方を事前に教えて下さればもっと良かったと思います。

さて、肝心のイルカですが、群れになかなか遭遇できず不安がよぎりましたが、蓋を開けてみればまれに見る大群とのランデブー。ベビーブームらしく沢山の子連れのイルカ達と一緒に泳ぐことができました。青く澄んだ海の中でみるイルカの群れは神秘的で感動しました。途中で波酔いになってしまい後半は海に入ることができませんでしたが、船の上からでもイルカがジャンプしている姿や水面を飛ぶように泳いでいる姿を見られて大変満足しました。　

スイムガイドのダイスケさんは自称イルカ好き。
目がキラキラと輝いているところが、海の中で出会ったイルカ達に似ていました。細やかな気配りと、誰にでも丁寧に接する態度、そして「イルカとハワイが大好き」オーラ全開で参加者みんなリラックスできて幸せな時間を過ごしました。
陽気なキャプテンとガイドのダイスケさん、本当にお世話になりました！

海の状態次第では、存分に楽しめない人もいるかも知れないので、総合評価は「☆4つ」にしましたが、ハワイ島を訪れる方には、是非お勧めしたいツアーです。

It was the best! ★最っ高でした★

Reviewed by: ぱむを

I am very satisfied.
I participated with a friend.
On the day, there were five of us: a couple and an elderly woman!
Since it was a small group on a compact boat, getting on and off was smooth.
During the three snorkeling sessions, we encountered large groups of dolphins each time!
The first time, there were about 150 dolphins in the group!
The second time, we even encountered a manta ray!
The water clarity at the third snorkeling spot was amazing!!!
It felt like a dream to see dolphins so clearly and so close. They were within reach (though touching is not allowed). The guide mentioned that such experiences are rare, so we were lucky to participate at the best time. I don't think this always happens... However, it seems that no one has ever missed seeing dolphins.
Our guide, Daisuke, was a very reliable and nice guy, and the captain was also quite a nice guy.
I really had a great time. Thank you very much.

For those who are not confident swimmers, there are helpers available, and wearing a wetsuit increases buoyancy.
It was truly a tour that made me want to participate again.
If you're hesitating, I highly recommend it!

However, I went without a pickup and drove to the meeting place, but I mistakenly went to the wrong restroom and ended up being late.
Since there was no detailed map or communication regarding the location from the booking through Alan1, I recommend checking the tour company's website to confirm the location properly. It can be a bit confusing.
Also, it mentioned snacks would be provided, but there was nothing in particular; just drinks after the tour.

大満足です。
友達と2人で参加しました。
当日はご夫婦と一人のおばあさん！！の5人でした。
少人数制で乗り降りしやすい小型ボートなのでスムーズに
乗り降り出来ます。
3回のシューノーケル時、3回共イルカの大群！！
1回目は150頭はいるほどの大群！
2回目はなんとマンタにも遭遇！！
3回目の地点の海の透明度ったらすごいです！！！
あんなにイルカがはっきりと、こんなにも近くで会えるなんて夢のようなひと時でした。手を伸ばせば触れてしまう程の距離でした（お触りNGですけどね）。こんなことはなかなかないっておっしゃっていたので、最高の時に参加出来ました。いつもこうとは限らないとは思いますが・・・。しかしイルカに会えなかったなんて事は今までにないそうです。
ガイドのダイスケ君はとても頼りがいのあるナイスガイですし、キャプテンの心意気もかなりなナイスガイです。
本当に楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

泳ぎが苦手な方でもヘルパー的なものもありますし、ウェットスーツを着用するので浮力も増しますよ。
本当にまた参加したいと思えるツアーでした。
迷っているなら是非っ！！お勧めです。

ただ、当方送迎なしでレンタカーで集合場所まで行ったのですが、集合場所のトイレを間違えて時間に遅れてしまいました。
こちら（Alan1)からの申し込みですと、詳しい場所の地図等
連絡やメールがないので、ツアー会社のHPを見てしっかりと
場所を確認することをお勧めします。ちょっとわかりずらいです。

Dolphins are wonderful! イルカは素敵！

Reviewed by: sakuta

Just seeing dolphins from the boat was exciting, but being able to get in the water and swim with them was amazing! It's a must-see. The boat is small, so it's not scary to enter the water from a high position, and wearing a wetsuit keeps you warm and helps you float well. If you're not confident in your swimming, they also provide floatation devices that you can hold onto. We were really happy and had so much fun when we made eye contact with the dolphins and found ourselves surrounded by them! I wonder if they were thinking, "Who are these guys?" Luckily, we also got to see a manta ray that day. The guides were kind and really helpful, and I definitely want to come back to the Big Island. Oahu is urban and too crowded for me, so I really love the Big Island. See you again!

イルカをボーﾄから見るだけでも嬉しいのに海の中に入って一緒に泳げちゃいます！必見です。ﾎﾞｰﾄが小ぶりなので高い位置から海に入るのではないので恐くありません、またウェットスーツを着ているので寒くも無いですし、良く浮きます。泳ぎに自信が無ければつかまるタイプの浮き輪も貸してくれます。イルカと目があっちゃた！囲まれちゃった！なんて皆で本当に嬉しくて楽しみました。本当はイルカに（こいつらなんだ～？）と思われているのかな？運が良くて私たちはこの日マンタにも会えました。ガイドしてくれた人たちも親切で本当に助かりました、是非またハワイ島に来ます。

The English tour is also enjoyable! 英語ツアーもまた楽し！

I believe that most of the Japanese participants in this tour were those who couldn't book a Japanese-language tour. I would like to share the details of the tour.

The tour began with participants being picked up in a large Land Cruiser, and the guide provided explanations through a microphone while driving. There were about 16 participants in total, and the vehicle was full. There was one young couple, but the rest were middle-aged couples from English-speaking countries. Among them, my spouse and I were the only Japanese. At the start of the tour, the guide introduced each participant, and we responded when our first names were called.

After about an hour, we stopped at a former ranch site for a break. There were portable toilets available. The main dishes, snacks, and drinks that we had selected during registration were distributed, and we enjoyed an early dinner around a table inside a tent. After that, we were handed bottled water and warm clothing (just jackets). We drove along a steep, bumpy road, enjoying views of the sea of clouds as we headed for the summit. We arrived at the top about an hour before sunset; it was drizzling below, but here it was beautifully clear. We visited the observatory from the outside, took photos, and watched the setting sun.

After it got dark, we moved to the mountainside, warmed up with the snacks and cocoa we were given, and finally began stargazing using lasers and telescopes. It was an hour of enjoying the starry sky and the Milky Way. Finally, we stopped at the Onizuka Visitor Center to use the restroom and buy souvenirs before heading home.

I had heard in advance that it would be quite cold, so I brought a lot of clothes, but it wasn't cold at all on the day of the tour. I think if you're going on a sunset tour from April to October, you don't need to worry too much about the cold. Also, no one in our tour group had any issues with altitude sickness. A flashlight was very helpful; each person should have one as a necessity.

The guide's English was fast-paced, almost like a DJ, making it difficult for us to catch everything. I believe there was an explanation of the overall schedule at the beginning of the tour, but I couldn't understand it. I managed to pick up on keywords and follow along with the group. For those taking an English tour, I think it would be helpful to study the English names of constellations and stars in advance to assist with comprehension.

こういうツアーに参加される日本人の方々は、ほとんどが日本語ツアーをとれなかったので、という方々だと思います。ツアーの様子をお伝え出来ればと思います。
ツアーの流れは大型のランドクルーザーで参加者をピックアップし、その後ガイド氏が、運転をしながら道中色々とマイクで説明をして進んで行きます。参加者は全部で１６人位だったかと思います。満席でした。
一組だけ若いカップルがいましたが、後はみな英語圏の中年のカップルでした。その中で、日本人は我々夫婦だけでした。ツアーの始まりにガイドさんから一人一人参加者の紹介がありました。ファーストネームを呼ばれたら返事をします。

1時間ほどして、途中牧場跡地で車を降りて、休憩を取ります。仮設トイレもあります。申込時に選んでおいたメインディッシュ、お菓子、飲み物等が配られ、テントの中のテーブルを囲んでの早めの夕食です。その後、ボトルに入った水と防寒服（上着のみ）が手渡されます。急こう配のでこぼこ道を走り、途中雲海を眺めたりしながら山頂を目指します。サンセットの1時間ぐらい前に山頂に到着、下界は小雨でしたが、ここは綺麗に晴れていました。外観からの天文台見学をしたり、写真を撮ったりしながら、沈みゆく夕日を眺めました。

暗くなってから山の中腹に移動し、配られたお菓子とココアで暖まった後、いよいよレーザーと天体望遠鏡を使っての星空観測です。満天の星と天の川を堪能した1時間でした。最後に鬼塚ビジターセンターでトイレを済ませ、お土産を買って帰路につきました。
事前の情報ではかなり寒いように聞いたので、服をいっぱい持っていきましたが、当日は全然寒くありませんでした。４月～１０月頃のサンセットツアーなら寒さには神経質にならなくても良いのではと思います。また、いわゆる高山病についても私たちのツアーでは全員問題ありませんでした。役に立ったのは懐中電灯です。1人1個は必需品です。
ガイドさんの英語は、ちょうどＤＪのようなノリで早口でした。我々の力では聞き取るのは難しかったです。ツアーの始めに全体のスケジュール説明もあったとは思いますが、わかりませんでした。
空気を感じ取って、かろうじてキーワードを聞き取り、何とか団体行動について行きました。英語ツアーの場合は、事前に星座や星について英語名を憶え勉強しておくと、聞き取りの手助けになろうかと思いま

Naalapa Stables Kohala Horseback Riding Tour on Kahua Ranch

Great time in Kona

Reviewed by: Tracy

I chose to do this adventure for my birthday while we were in Kona. Melissa, our guide, was wonderful. She did a great job of sharing all of the history of the ranch and also the local sites. The horses were matched to us perfectly. I'm an experienced rider so really enjoyed having a horse that was spunky! We were able to trot and canter and Melissa was very attentive. If we go back to Hawaii we will definitely do this again!!!

I want to meet dolphins. イルカに逢いたくて

Reviewed by: 帰りたくなーい人

I wanted to swim with wild dolphins on my honeymoon, and after researching various options, I found that the Big Island of Hawaii had the best conditions. The reviews on this site were excellent, so I decided to book with Aloha Kona Tours.

The staff were very accommodating, and I could really feel the passion from Captain Nawata and Daisuke, who dove with us, wanting the customers to enjoy their time with the dolphins.

Those who can swim are free to swim with the dolphins, and the staff diligently guide you to where the dolphins are located. For beginners, they provide flotation devices and assist in transporting you to the dolphin spots, which is reassuring.

The small group size allows for better individual attention, and because there are fewer people, the time spent getting on and off the boat is reduced, giving you more opportunities to interact with the dolphins.

I highly recommend this tour for anyone, from beginners to experienced swimmers, who wants to connect with dolphins and the natural beauty of Hawaii!

新婚旅行で野生のイルカと泳ぎたいと
色々調べたところハワイ島が一番条件が良いこと、
このサイトのレビューが非常によかったので
アロハコナツアーさんに申し込みました。

とてもスタッフの方の対応がよく、
船長の縄田さん、一緒に潜ってくれただいすけ君の
なんとかお客様にイルカと楽しんで欲しいという
思いが伝わってきてとてもよかったです。

泳げる人は自由にイルカと泳げ、スタッフの人が
懸命にイルカの場所を教えてくれます。
初心者の方にも浮具を使いスタッフの人が
イルカのいる場所まで運んでくれるので安心です。

少人数制のため一人一人への対応が良い点、
あと少ない人数だからこそ船の乗り降り時間が
短縮されるのでイルカにチャレンジ出来るチャンスが
多いの魅力です。


初心者の人から経験者の方まで
イルカとハワイとの大自然と触れ合いたいなら
ぜひこちらのツアーをおすすめします！

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＞

Participation on October 21. １０月２１日参加

Reviewed by: ぴよこ

I was able to fulfill my long-time dream of swimming with wild dolphins!

On this day, we found a pod of dolphins while moving. As we entered the water ahead of them and waited, I could hear their calls getting closer, and the dolphins swam right beneath me.

Although the sea was deep, they provided flotation devices, so there was no need to worry! My husband was able to tread water and dive freely without borrowing one. I borrowed a flotation device because I was anxious, but I think those who can swim on their own can get closer to the dolphins without one.

We entered the water three times that day and were able to see many dolphins. The small boat made it easy to get on and off, allowing everyone to enter the water at the same time, which was great.

Our guide Daisuke was in the water, and Mr. Nawata was on the boat, both working hard to guide us, saying things like, "Just 5 meters out! There! Stay right there! They’ll be coming in about 20 meters!"

I want to practice diving before our next trip so I can see the dolphins even closer.

I had a very enjoyable and precious time! Even after returning home, I look at the photos every day and remember the excitement. Thank you, Mr. Nawata and Daisuke.

I was able to take many dolphin photos with the digital camera I bought for this day.

『野生のイルカと泳ぎたい！』
という長年の夢を叶えることができました。

この日は移動中のイルカの群れを見つけてくれました。
先回りして海に入りイルカ達を待っているとだんだん鳴き声が近づいてきてイルカが私の下を泳いで行きます。

足のつかない海ですが、浮き具を貸してくれるので心配は無用です！夫は立ち泳ぎもできるし、潜れるので借りずに自由に潜っていました。
私は不安なので浮き具を借りましたが、自分で泳げる人は浮き具なしの方がイルカに近づけると思います。

この日は３回エントリーしてたくさんのイルカを見ることが出来ました。船が小さく、乗り降りがスムーズに出来るので、全員同時に海に入れる点が良かったです。

ガイドの大輔さんは海の中から、縄田さんは船の上から『あと沖へ５ｍ！そこ！そのまま！あと２０ｍ位で来るよ！』と少しでも近くで私達にイルカを見せようと一生懸命誘導してくれます。

より近くでイルカを見たいので次回は潜る練習をしてから行きたいなと思います。

とっても楽しく貴重なひとときを過ごせました！
帰ってからも毎日写真を見て感動を思い出しています。
縄田さん、大輔さんありがとうございました。

この日の為に買ったデジカメでもたくさんイルカの写真が撮れました。

Simply the best. とにかく最高

Reviewed by: ナカムラ

My husband and I participated together. I can't swim very well, but they provided me with a swimsuit and floatation devices, so I was fine. We were able to easily meet dolphins without searching for them. The staff member Daisuke took us close to the dolphins. He also took photos for us and made the experience very enjoyable. Dolphins came right up in front of us. The bubble rings created by the dolphins rose up from the ocean floor, and it was beautiful. I was truly moved. There was also a baby dolphin. My husband said he saw a manta ray as well. The captain was friendly, and since there were only a few of us, it felt very relaxed. The boat was small, but it was comfortable enough. I took motion sickness medication, but no one got seasick. It was a dreamlike moment. If I get the chance to go to the Big Island again, I will definitely participate again. Thank you, Captain and Daisuke!

主人と二人で参加しました。私はあまり泳げませんが、スイムスーツと浮き具を貸してもらえるので大丈夫でした。イルカを探し回ることなく簡単に会えることができました。スタっフのダイスケ君がイルカの近くまで連れていってくれます。写真も撮ってくれたりと、とても楽しませてくれました。ほんとに目の前にイルカがきてくれました。イルカの作るバブルリングが海の底からたくさんあがってきて、きれいでした。ホント感動しました~。赤ちゃんイルカもいましたよ。主人はマンタも見たそうです。キャプテンも気さくな方で少人数ということもあり、わきあいあいとしていました。船は小さいですが乗りごこちも悪くなかったです。酔い止めは飲んでいましたが、誰も酔いませんでした。夢のようなひとときでした。またハワイ島に行くことができたら絶対参加します。キャプテン、ダイスケ君ありがとうございました。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー　滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く！＜午前・午後／英語ガイド／食事付＞by フェアウィンド号

It depends on the weather. 天気次第

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I went in early October. The weather was bad, so it was cold, and I got out of the sea in less than 10 minutes. My friend endured the cold and stayed in the water until the last moment, but he was shivering the whole time until we got back.

When the weather is bad and the sun doesn't shine, the perceived temperature is low, and you end up going home without drying off, so it was very cold.

I was able to see dolphins swimming in the distance, and I think if the weather had been good, it would have been a very satisfying snorkeling experience.

10月初旬に行きました。
天気が悪かったので寒くて10分足らずで海から上がりました。
友人は寒いのに耐えてギリギリまで海に入っていましたが上がってから帰るまでの間ずっと震えていました。

天気が悪いと日が差さないため体感温度も低く身体も乾かないままに帰ることになるのでとても寒かったです。

遠くでイルカが泳いでるのを見ることができ天気さえよければ大満足のシュノーケリングが出来たと思います。

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

More Than We Could Have Expected!

Reviewed by: Vanessa and Josh Alvarez

This was a great purchase! It was a great experience, the guide was awesome, and it was definitely something that cannot be done back home! My husband and I went on our honeymoon and book this activity for our first day in Hawaii. The description stated, Sea Cave Kayaking Adventure, but we got so much more! We kayaked, went to the sea cave, swam with dolphins, snorkeled, got to jump off a cliff, fed the mongoose, had a nice lunch, and learned a lot about sea life, not to mention the hundreds of different fish and sea life we got to encounter. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and always kept safety a priority! No question about it we would return time and time again!

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＞

First rafting 初ラフティング

Reviewed by: greatrabi

It was my first time, so I was a bit skeptical about rafting. It was quite fast and bouncy, and our captain playfully took sharp turns, making the journey to the snorkeling point a fun activity. The tour guide spoke only in English, so I couldn't understand anything, but they provided a Japanese printout before boarding.

We saw sea turtles twice in different locations, and the dolphins came close enough to swim alongside us. We even got to see baby dolphins jumping, which was a rare experience! The speed made the wind feel really nice, and I didn't realize how strong the UV rays were... My husband ended up getting sunburned to the point of peeling!

初だったのでラフティング？どんなかなあ・・と半信半疑の参加でした。
結構スピードが出るしはねるし又キャプテンのいたずらで急カーブしてくれたりとシュノーケルポイントに着くまでも楽しいアクティビティーです
観光ガイドは全て英語なので全く分からずですが乗船前に日本語のプリントをくれます
ウミガメは一匹ずつ別場所で2回、イルカは手の届きそうな所まで近づいて一緒に泳げたり赤ちゃんイルカのジャンプが見れたりと貴重な体験がいっぱいです(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)
スピードがあるので風がとっても気持ちよくついつい紫外線の強さを感じさせず・・・主人は顔ズル剥けになる位焼けちゃいました(^^;)

It was much better than I could have imagined! 想像を遥かに超えて良かった！

Reviewed by: 路子

I joined this tour on a friend's recommendation. It was a small group, which allowed for flexible movement to dolphin spots, and I felt reassured by the attentive guide. We were able to see dolphins in several locations, witnessing them flying, sleeping, and playing multiple times. Since we didn't have to use floaties, we could dive or swim like the dolphins, making it a truly mystical experience. The guides were all very kind, and I was completely satisfied. I had no idea such a marine world existed! I will definitely participate again.

友人の勧めでこのツアーに参加。少人数制でフレクシブルにイルカスポットに移動できるし、ガイドさんの目が行き届いてて安心でした。イルカも何カ所かに分けて見られたし、飛んでるとこ寝てるとこ戯れているとこを何回も見られました。浮き輪をしなくて良いので潜るなり、イルカの気持ちになって泳ぐなりできてとても神秘的な体験でした。ガイドさんも皆さん親切で、とにかく大満足でした。あんな海の世界があったなんて！また必ず参加します。
