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

We participated as a family. Thank you for preparing prescription goggles for my nearsighted son. We had the precious experience of being surrounded by dolphins. It was an indescribable emotion. The staff were very kind and their work was professional! When I called the day before, they properly informed me about the meeting place and precautions, which was very helpful. Not only did we see dolphins, but we also spotted manta rays and whales. I felt the beauty of nature on the Big Island, as well as the warmth of the people. The other families who participated were also very friendly, making it a fun time. I absolutely recommend this tour!
家族で参加させていただきました。
近視の息子の為に、度付きのゴーグルまで用意していただいてありがとうございました。
イルカに囲まれるという貴重な体験が出来ました。
これは、言葉では言い表せない感動でした。
スタッフの方は、とても親切で、そして、仕事はプロフェッショナル!前日に電話した時も、きちんと集合場所や注意事項をおしえてくれたので、とても助かりました。
なんと、イルカだけでなく、マンタ、クジラまで見れました。
ハワイ島の自然の素晴らしさだけでなく、人々の温かさも感じました。一緒に参加したご家族の方も、とてもフレンドリーで、楽しいひと時でした。
このツアー、絶対お勧めです!

I participated in the afternoon tour. I received a reservation confirmation email that mentioned to call for confirmation the day before, but it might be a bit challenging for those who can't speak English.
I drove to the location with a rental car. The parking lot was far from the office and hard to find, so having a map in advance would be helpful.
The boat was fairly large, and I didn't feel seasick at all. We encountered dolphins along the way. There were light snacks and drinks available on board.
The sea was incredibly beautiful, and I was able to see many fish, coral reefs, and sea urchins. There was also a slide, which was fun.
I was surprised to see an elderly woman, who looked to be over 80 years old and bent over, entering the water! Of course, she had someone accompanying her.
Since it wasn't summer, it was cold when we got out of the water.
アフタヌーンツアーに参加。
前日に確認の電話を!と予約確認メールであり電話しましたが、英語なのでしゃべれない人はちょっと大変かも。
レンタカーで現地へ。駐車場が事務所から離れていて分かりにくかったので、あらかじめ地図などあると助かります。
船はまぁまぁ大きく全く酔いませんでした。途中イルカに遭遇。
船内では軽いスナックと飲み物あり。
海はすごく綺麗で沢山の魚やサンゴ礁ウニなど観ることができました。滑り台もあり楽しめました。
また、もう80才以上ではないかと思われる腰の曲がったおばあさんが海に入っていたのにはビックリです!!もちろん1人付き添っていましたが。
夏ではないので、海から上がった時は寒かったです。

Great, fun day splashing around off the Kona coast. Nothing wildly new, unless you've never done this sort of thing before. Getting buzzed by a pod of spinner dolphins and the 20-ft cliff jump were highlights. Just be aware: you're looking at several hours of direct sun here, so best buy the aloe first.

I wanted to see the birds on the Big Island, so I participated even though I don't understand English. There were about ten participants, and I felt a bit flustered during the introductions in the car. Everything was explained in English, but there was a participation agreement in Japanese, so I thought it would be nice to have some explanation notes in Japanese. Although I couldn't understand the language, I enjoyed myself thanks to the guide and the consideration of the other participants who wanted everyone to have a good time, and I was able to see the birds properly. I think it's a good idea for participants to know how to use binoculars and some basic English.
英語がわからないけど、ハワイ島の鳥をみたかったので参加しました。
参加者は10名程度で行きの車の中で各自の自己紹介があって焦りました。
説明とかもすべて英語ですが、参加誓約書は日本語のものがあったので日本語での説明メモがあったらいいなあと思いました。
言葉は理解できませんでしたが、楽しんでもらおうというガイドさんや他の参加者の方の気遣いで楽しめましたし、鳥もちゃんと見れました。
参加する方は双眼鏡の使い方と簡単な英語は知っておいた方がいいと思います。
Thank you for participating in the birdwatching tour. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed it.

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

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

My husband and I were first time visitors to Hawaii. Going to a luah was one activity we chose. We took advantage of the preferred seating and felt it was worth the money. We were seated right in the front, were able to go first to the buffet and received $5 off our picture and paid only $5 for parking. The entertainment was truly amazing. The food was o.k but we didn't expect a whole lot. The dancers even stood at the exit so you could get a picture with them.

At the request of my children, we decided to go snorkeling! I wanted to do something unique that we couldn't do elsewhere, so I chose this tour. Captain Dennis had a high dolphin sighting rate, and MIKA's cheerful personality was a plus. The tour was conducted with a small group. On the day of the tour, it was just two repeat customers and our family of four, so we had almost a private experience. Of course, we saw plenty of dolphins. And surprisingly, we even encountered a manta ray... It was truly magical and healing.

On March 4, 2012, I participated in a tour with Aloha Kona Tours for my honeymoon. During this time, if you're lucky, you can see not only dolphins but also whales.
We were fortunate enough to encounter whales. Moreover, we were much closer than typical whale watching experiences (within 10 meters). In fact, they were swimming right under the boat. On our way back after swimming with the dolphins, a whale jumped right in front of us. I was so excited that I couldn't say anything other than "Wow!" (It was the same for Mr. Nawata from Aloha Kona Tours, right? lol)
There are various discussions about Japan's whaling practices, but I think this experience is one that everyone should have if possible. It had a significant impact on my personal perspective.
There were also plenty of dolphins. I was able to swim while dolphins were right in front of me. Experiencing "swimming with a pod of dolphins" is something you definitely can't do in Japan. Dolphins are just so cute, and there were even mother and baby pairs. I was able to swim multiple times by anticipating the movement of the pod. I got so excited that I swam too much.
As for what to bring, in addition to swimwear, it's a good idea to have a waterproof digital camera. I'll post some photos as well.
Thanks to Mr. Nawata and Ms. Tsuyako from Aloha Kona Tours, I had a safe and incredibly fun experience. (In fact, they were enjoying it with us, too! lol) Honestly, if you're going to the Big Island, you should definitely join this tour.
2012年3月4日にハネムーンでAloha Kona Toursのツアーに参加しました。
この時期は運が良ければイルカだけでなく、クジラも見ることが出来ます。
私たちは正にそれで、クジラと遭遇できました。
しかも、よくあるホエールウォッチングとは比較にならない近さでした。(10m以内)
というかボートの下を通ってました。
また、イルカと泳いだ帰りにも目の前でクジラがジャンプしました。
興奮しすぎて「すげぇ!」以外の言葉が出てこなかったです。
(Aloha Kona Tours縄田さんもでしたよねw)
日本人は調査捕鯨の話などでいろいろありますが、この体験は出来ればした方がいいと思いました。
私個人の考え方にとてもインパクトを与えました。
イルカもたくさん居ました。
目の前にイルカが居る状態で泳げました。
「イルカの群れと泳ぐ」なんて体験は絶対に日本では出来ません。
イルカはとにかくカワイイです。親子連れとかも居ました。
群れの移動に先回りして何回も泳ぐことが出来ました。
テンション上がり過ぎて泳ぎ過ぎました。
持ち物としては水着等以外にも防水タイプのデジカメがあった方がいいです。
写真も投稿しておきます。

Since I am into diving, I went for snorkeling in the bay without expecting too much. It was beautiful.
There were plenty of fish, the reef was stunning, and the water clarity was high.
I think the clarity was comparable to that of the remote islands in Okinawa.
Drinks, snacks, and pineapples were all-you-can-eat.
On the way back, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and further away, there were whales.
It was fun on the large boat without any seasickness.

Title: An Unforgettable Experience
I participated in a dolphin cruise. Before seeing the dolphins, we encountered whales. I believe it's called breaching. The sight of a whale jumping high with its belly facing up was truly breathtaking.
We also met a mother whale with her baby, and I got to hear the sounds of the whales, which were very soothing, almost like singing.
When we arrived at the point where the dolphin pod was, I was amazed.
There were dolphins everywhere!
While snorkeling, dolphins were zipping past me on both sides, and there must have been around 200 of them.
Underwater, I could hear the adorable sounds of the dolphins making "kyu kyu" noises.
According to our guide, encountering such a large group was incredibly lucky.
There were dolphins swimming with leaves in their mouths, teasing us by picking them up and letting them go, which was really cute.
Even just watching from the boat, I enjoyed seeing dolphins jumping all around.
Swimming with dolphins has been a dream of mine for many years, so encountering such a large group was thrilling.
It became my best memory in Hawaii. Thank you for the wonderful time.
タイトル:忘れられない体験になりました
イルカクルーズに参加しました。
イルカを見る前にクジラにも遭遇。
ブリーチングと言うのでしょうか。
お腹を空に向けて、仰向けの大ジャンプは本当に圧巻でしたよ。
赤ちゃんと一緒の親子クジラにも出会えたし
クジラの声も聞かせてもらいましたが、クジラの声って歌声みたいですごく癒されました。
そしてイルカの群れのいるポイントに到着してびっくり
とにかくもうイルカだらけ
シュノーケル中は自分の下も左右も、イルカがビュンビュン通り過ぎて行って
200匹位はいたでしょうか。
水中では「キューキュー」言うイルカの可愛い生声が聞こえましたよ。
ガイドさんによれば、こんな大軍に遭遇するのは凄くラッキーだったとの事です。
葉っぱをくわえながら泳いできて、くわえたり離したりして人間をからかうみたいに遊ぶイルカも凄く可愛かったです。
船上から海面を見ているだけでも
あっちこっちでイルカがジャンプしまくりで楽しめましたよ。
イルカと泳ぐのは長年の夢だったのであんな大軍に遭遇できて感激です。
ハワイでの一番の思い出になりました。

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

Check-in at Keauhou Bay. This tour is mainly targeted at mainland tourists who are participating in overseas tours, so all the guidance is in English. However, if you've received a basic education, you should be fine. The staff are friendly and respond kindly. Kealakekua Bay has high transparency and calm waves, making it an ideal environment for snorkeling. You'll be welcomed by a variety of tropical fish. Also, if you're lucky, dolphins might come by. With breakfast and lunch included at this price, it's quite reasonable.

I participated with my mother in her 60s. I was a bit worried about her joining due to the speed of the boat, but we were both very satisfied. I think elderly people can participate as well. The staff was very accommodating, and during snorkeling, they supported my mother, who couldn't swim, by providing a float that allowed her to look down and see the fish.
Fortunately, we were lucky enough to encounter whales and dolphins. There were no staff members who spoke Japanese, but I think as long as you can communicate a little, you can enjoy the experience without any issues. It's more thrilling than regular whale watching, and I highly recommend it.

If you participate expecting typical rafting, you might feel it's a bit different.
Instead of the thrill from drops, it feels more like riding a rubber boat at high speed on the ocean, similar to jet skiing.
Honestly, I got a bit bored since there were no drops, just fast speeds.
Still, I appreciated the service spirit of the captain, and it was great to actually see wild dolphins and a whale in the distance.
The snorkeling spots were nice, though I wouldn't say they were astonishingly beautiful.
一般的なラフティングをイメージして参加すると少し違うものだと感じます。
段差があってその落差でドキドキというよりかは、ゴムボートに乗って海面を速いスピードで移動していく、ジェットスキーのような感覚というと近いかもしれません。

それでも、野生のイルカやクジラを探して見に行ったり、船長の方のサービス精神は感じました。

I underestimated Hawaii. The ocean at night was extremely cold. I was thinking I wanted to go home since I couldn't encounter a manta ray. However, when I finally encountered a manta ray swimming gracefully, I was so moved that the cold didn't matter anymore.
For those who are Japanese and not using a rental car, I recommend hotel shuttle services. We used a taxi, but there was a bit of distance between the place where we checked and confirmed the wetsuit size and the boat. Also, on the way back, we had a lot of trouble finding a taxi. I think it would be better to provide more information about that.

After enjoying the cruise, you can go snorkeling in the cove, where part of the boat becomes a slide and diving platform. I had a great time diving in a free style that you can't do in pools in Japan, spinning in the beautiful sea and jumping in with friends. While doing various jumps, I also got to know other guests and staff on the boat, which made it even more fun. You might find snorkeling and cruise experiences elsewhere, but I highly recommend this option where you can dive wholeheartedly into the beautiful sea!!!
クルーズを堪能した後に、入江でシュノーケルができるのですが、船の一部が滑り台や飛び込み台になります。きれいな海に回転をしたり、友達と一緒に飛び込んだり日本のプールではできないような自由なスタイルで飛び込みを楽しみました。いろんな、ジャンプをしていたら一緒に船に乗っていた他のお客さんやスタッフの人とも仲良くなれてとても楽しかったです。シュノーケル体験やクルーズ体験は他でもできるかもしれませんが、きれいに海に向かって思いっきり飛び込めるこのオプションはおすすめです!!!

The experience involves diving ahead of the swimming course several times to chase after the pod of dolphins. Although it's quite rare, we were able to swim and play with the dolphins. They swam around us, almost touching us, and even playfully splashed us (laughs). In the clear waters where you could see hundreds of meters ahead, we truly got to "play" with the dolphins. Mr. Nawata said, "If you can't be moved by this, then there's nothing more!" It was the best experience. Just watching the dolphins swimming deep in the ocean was so beautiful that it made my mind go completely blank and filled me with happiness.
On the way back, we were taken to a beautiful beach where the locals go, and Mr. Nawata even acted as our photographer, for which I am truly grateful. I also posted a review for the manta ray night snorkeling tour, so I hope you can refer to that as well.
今回、マンタのツアーと同じ縄田さんのツアーに参加させて頂きました。マンタのナイトシュノーケリングも最高におススメですが、イルカのツアーも最っっ高でした。
内容は泳いでるコースに先回りして何度かダイブしてイルカの群れを追う?感じになるそうです。が、かなり珍しいそうなんですが私たちはイルカと一緒に泳いだり、遊んでもらう事が出来ました。イルカが自分達の周りを触れるか触れないかのところでグルグル泳いでくれたり、ウンチ?を引っかけられたり(笑)と、何百メートルも先まで見えそうな海の中でイルカとまさに『遊ぶ』ことができました。縄田さんにも「これで感動できなかったら、これ以上ないよ(笑)」と最高の体験ができました。海の中でずーっと深い所で泳いでいるイルカを観られるだけでもあたまのなかが真っ白になるくらい美しくて幸せになれます。帰りには地元の人が行くきれいなビーチに連れて行ってもらい縄田さんにカメラマンをしていただいたりと本当に感謝でいっぱいです。マンタのナイトシュノーケリングツアーの方にもレビュー載せましたのでそちらも参考にして頂ければと思います

The reconfirmation call will be in English, so if you have any concerns about the language, I recommend consulting with the hotel concierge.
I apologize for the difficulty in finding the way from the parking lot to the office. I have requested Alan1.net to provide a detailed map.
