Last year, I participated in a dolphin tour with a Japanese guide, so when I compare the two experiences, I felt a sense of neglect here. Since it was an English tour, I couldn't catch much anyway, and the explanations were brief, plus there was no guide who entered the water with us. However, as soon as we got into the water, there were a lot of dolphins. They came really close, and I could see even the little scratches on their backs clearly. After that, while moving to another snorkeling spot, they looked for whales, and we were actually able to see one. The snorkeling was in a very clear area, and on the way back, they shared stories about the Big Island of Hawaii. I think it would have been even better if I could speak English, but I had a great experience.
去年は日本人のガイドさんのイルカツアーに参加していたので、比較してみると放置感はありました。英語のツアーなのでどうせ聞き取れないのですが、説明も短く一緒に海に入ってくれるガイドさんはいませんでした。それでも海に入ったとたんたくさんのイルカがいました。
本当に近くまで来てくれて、背中のちょっとしたキズまではっきりみえました。その後、別のシュノーケルのスポットに移動する間くじらを探してくれて、実際にみることができました。とても透明感のある場所でシュノーケルをして、帰りはハワイ島のお話をしてくれました。英語ができたらもっと良かったと思いますが、良い経験をさせていただきました。

It was so lucky to sit next to the pilot! The best view and nice weather. Kind and well-experienced pilot. It was expensive but worth trying.
Just the recording of the flight for US$40 was too high. And the conflict with the USB being ready and the bus schedule was too tight.
NB: Check my pick-up time on the voucher!!! It was actually the flight schedule. I was about to miss the biggest event of the trip!!!
That was your Veltra mistake.

I was really able to swim with dolphins. The experience was incredibly moving! Looking back now, I'm glad I was able to make a reservation!
Although I had no snorkeling experience and went out into the ocean, thanks to the support and advice from the swim instructor, I was ultimately able to see the dolphins up close, and I'm really glad I went!
The captain loves the ocean, dolphins, and whales more than anything, and I realized that because of that love, there is so much he can understand and teach us. His love for the animals was overflowing, and that's why we were able to have such an amazing experience. He also assessed the spots from a professional perspective, making for a very satisfying time.
I would love to participate again once I can snorkel! Thank you very much!!!

The captain and the swim guide were both Japanese with blue eyes, and their love for the sea radiated from them.
Perhaps we were lucky with the timing, as we were fortunate enough to see whales, which got everyone on board very excited.
The dolphins we aimed to see were not at an easily accessible spot, but they knew the locations where we could feel closer to them. If I have the chance to come back to the Big Island, I would love to participate again.

Dolphins are wild creatures, so there's no guarantee that you'll see them, but this tour offers a high probability of encountering them. The reason for this is that the instructor drives the boat and selects snorkeling points based on the dolphins' behavior that day. They also provide detailed instructions to help you see the dolphins up close. When the dolphins appeared right in front of us, I was very excited. I believe this is the only tour where you can see wild dolphins up close with such a high probability. I had a really great time participating. Thank you!
イルカは野生の生き物なので必ず会えると言う保証はありませんがこのツアーは、ほとんどの確率で会えます。
それは何故かと言うと、インストラクターの方が船を運転してその日のイルカの調子でポイントを選んでシュノーケリングをするからです。
またイルカを間近で見るために細かい指示をしてくれます。
今回イルカがの前に現れて、とても興奮しました。これだけ高い確率で野生のイルカを間近に見ることができるツアーはここのツアーだけだと思います。

We participated as a family of four. Our family was the only group on the tour, and we had one female guide with us. After preparing the saddles, we received instructions on how to ride and handle the horses. Everything was in English, but as long as you closely follow the guide's movements, you'll be fine! The handling instructions were just four basic commands: "go," "stop," "right," and "left," so it wasn't difficult.
And finally, we set off! Along the way, we even challenged ourselves to a canter while climbing up the vast ranch towards the mountains, and when we looked back, the stunning view of the Kohala Coast came into sight. It was a wonderful view, and I'm sure you can enjoy a refreshing feeling.
All the horses are well-trained and safe, but each horse has its own personality. The horse I rode seemed to dislike mud and chose to walk on dry ground, even if it meant staying away from the other horses. In contrast, the horse my wife rode seemed to love water and splashed right into the puddles. While we experienced a bit of the difficulty in controlling the horses, it was a fun time. I highly recommend that everyone try this experience!
[Additional Note]
The wind from the mountains felt cold, so even if it's sunny, I think it's better to borrow a jacket. Also, the horses will walk through puddles and muddy areas, so your shoes might get wet or dirty, so it's advisable to borrow boots as well. Both are available for free.
家族4人で参加しました。ツアー参加者は私たち家族のみ。ガイド役の女性が一人付いてくれました。鞍の装着などの準備が整い、次に馬の乗り方や扱い方の説明を受けました。全て英語ですが、ガイドさんの動きをよく見てその通りにすれば大丈夫! 馬の扱い方といっても『進め』『止まれ』『右に』『左に』という4つの基本的な動きの伝え方だけなので難しくありませんでした。
そしていよいよ出発です。途中、駆け足にも挑戦しながら広大な牧場を山の方に向かってどんどん登っていき、振り返るとコハラコーストの絶景が目に飛び込んできました。素晴らしい眺めです。爽快な気分が味わえるはずです。
どの馬もよく調教されていて危なくはありませんが、各々の馬に個性があります。私が乗った馬は「ぬかるみ」が嫌いらしく、他の馬から離れてでも乾いたところを選んで歩きました。と思えば妻が乗った馬は水に入るのが好きなようで水たまりにジャブジャブと入ります。思い通りに動かす難しさを少々味わいながらも楽しい時間でした。皆さんもぜひ体験してください!
【追記】
山からの風は冷たく感じましたので晴れていてもジャケットは借りたほうがいいと思います。また、水たまりやぬかるんだところを馬が進みます。靴が濡れたり汚れたりすることもあるかもしれませんのでブーツも借りたほうがいいと思います。いずれも無料でお借りできます。

My first helicopter experience was enjoyable. I requested a Japanese pilot, but when my reservation was confirmed, I was informed that it would be an English-speaking pilot, so I was glad I could participate with that understanding in advance. Although I'm not a native speaker, I was able to understand, and it turned out to be a very good experience! Unfortunately, the Kilauea volcano was calm, so it wasn't what I had hoped for, but I was able to enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Big Island of Hawaii, and it was worth the price!

Jim Carey is an outstanding and knowledgeable guide who wove Hawaiian folklore, geology and local current events into an experience that we (ages 12 to 72) all enjoyed. We had a nice small group (just seven of us) which allowed Jim to go a little off script and pack a lot of experiences into our day. The transportation van was comfortable but be ready for a long drive because Jim really covers the Big Island. From the lava flows in Kona to Hilo to Kilauea, there was a lot of ground covered. The gourmet dinner of organic and locally grown steaks, fish and produce was exceptional. Don't even get me started on the dessert. We are still talking about it. The stargazing was a spectacular finish to the day.
Thank you Jim for an unforgettable experience.

Since my accommodation was in Kailua-Kona, I had to make my way to the meeting point on foot. However, the public parking was difficult to find, which made me quite anxious, so it's necessary to check in advance. The tour exceeded my expectations as I was able to see whales up close, which was fantastic. However, the boat does rock quite a bit, so I think those who are prone to seasickness should prepare accordingly.

On my first overseas trip to Hawaii, I was greeted by Daisuke, a staff member with a bright smile. From the moment we started moving, he shared his love for dolphins and the charm of the Big Island, which got me excited. The fact that there are many whales too made me even more thrilled.
There were 11 Japanese participants, including repeat visitors, and everyone except us was from the Kansai region, making for a lively group.
With Captain Jesse at the helm, we felt the sea breeze and sped through the ocean, which was already an attraction in itself (laughs). Along the way, we encountered manta rays and whales while listening to Daisuke's stories about dolphins, and finally arrived at the dolphin point. We donned fins and snorkels (and wetsuits and floatation devices for those who needed them) and headed into the sea! Looking down, I could clearly see the ocean floor about 15 meters below, illuminated by the sunlight. What a beautiful world.
Following Daisuke's call, I swam toward him and saw many spinner dolphins swimming right beside us, which was such a close encounter! Just as I was soaking in that excitement, the dolphins suddenly made a U-turn and sped off in the opposite direction. After waiting a bit, three bottlenose dolphins appeared. According to Daisuke, the spinner dolphins fled when the "giant" dolphins arrived.
To my surprise, the bottlenose dolphins stayed at the ocean floor, seemingly playing with each other, allowing us to watch them slowly. Daisuke mentioned that such a sight is truly rare in Hawaiian waters. It was an amazing experience to have such a rare encounter.
I highly recommend this tour if you come to the Big Island. One thing to note is that practicing snorkeling in advance can enhance your enjoyment even more.
I will definitely repeat this experience!

初めての海外とハワイ旅行、スタッフである朝晴れやかな笑顔のだいすけさんに迎えに来てもらえ、移動中からイルカ大好き&ハワイ島の魅力を教えてもらえ、ワクワク。

途中にマンタや鯨に出会いながら、だいすけさんのイルカの話を聞きながら、いよいよイルカポイントに到着。

ものすごいスピードで反対方向に向かっていきました。
少し待っていると、三頭のバンドウイルカ、だいすけさん曰く、ジャイアンイルカ、ハシナガイルカはジャイアンが来たら逃げていったんだそう。
そのバンドウイルカがなんと、海の底に留まって休憩、お互いにじゃれているように見えましたが、ゆっくりイルカの姿を眺めることができました。

We enjoyed it a lot. We wish we had gone earlier in our trip so we would’ve had the opportunity to build other activities around what we saw on this trip. James runs this business on his own and he does a lot of research and individualizes each trip to the current conditions of the atmosphere and weather. The photos he took of us were amazing. I could see couples booking this for engagement, honeymoon or anniversary photos. The star gazing was the highlight. We see stars from our house very well but it doesn’t even compare to the clarity of the sky at that altitude. I would definitely recommend this excursion.

My husband and I participated together. Although we didn't encounter the bridging we were expecting (it seems the encounter rate is not very high), we did see a mother and calf whale! (I wonder if they are more commonly seen around Maui??)
The transportation was smooth, and we were able to experience an activity early in the morning, which allowed us to make the most of the rest of the day. I think it was a great schedule. Everyone on board was calling out, "Which direction are they?" as we spotted the whales, enjoying the spouts and tail slaps. The tour captain explained the whales' ecology (in English) and answered various questions from the passengers, which was very educational. I would love to participate again someday and hopefully see the bridging!

Let me start off by saying I had a pretty low expectation for the meals when I saw they were included. The food was really great—chef made lunch and delicious beef ribs at dinner. I’m still dreaming about them. That alone provides so much value for the price.
Now, onto the tour—Keith was an amazing tour guide! He started off by learning and continually speaking to each of us individually by name. He had the greatest stories at AND between each tour stop. We really enjoyed the tour from start to finish and almost forgot how long of a day it was! And for the stargazing, we lucked out with a beautiful clear sky and Keith was knowledgeable about not only the stars we were seeing, but so much beyond that!

This was our first trip to Hawaii with my husband and his parents. We made a reservation here to experience the Hawaiian atmosphere on our first day. It's a buffet style, and it gets a bit crowded at first, but it's manageable after a short wait. The ahi poke was delicious. There are two drink stations: one at the back of the buffet line and another to the right of the stage. If you go further back from the drink counter on the right side of the stage around sunset, you can see a wonderful sunset. (There are also ashtrays in that area.) Overall, I thought it was a bit pricey, so I gave it three stars. I felt it would cost around 10,000 yen based on my experience in Japan.

Obviously the tour does not summon the whales at their leisure, but we saw honestly 10+ whales (maybe some of the same ones) over a period of an hour and a half and it was incredible. I have so many photos that I can’t wait to post on social. Regardless of actually seeing the whales, the tour was not only educational but it was a smooth ride, very fun and friendly and we even used a hydro microphone that picked up the whales talking to eachother around us. It was nothing I’ve ever heard before, they are so loud!! I would recommend the early trip for any older folks (we took my grandma who is 78) and/or any easily motion sick people. Overall completely worth the price and waking up “early” on vacation.

Since it was a last-minute booking, I couldn't reconfirm until the day before, but I was able to participate without any issues. It takes about 40-50 minutes to get from Keauhou to Kealakekua Bay. During that time, they distribute fins and masks. Many people were snorkeling while wearing floaties or floats (available for rent). Since I had a 4-year-old and an 8-year-old with me, we were able to borrow a large boogie board (with a window to see underwater). It was a bit chilly because the sun was behind the clouds, so we got back on the boat partway through, but we enjoyed watching foreign guests having fun on the slide until the end. On the way there, pretzels and juice were served in the galley on the first floor, and on the way back, fruit was added. The crew also came up to the second floor to distribute snacks. Even though our English wasn't great, the crew made an effort to communicate with us.
直近の申し込みだったためか、前日までのリコンファームができなかったのに問題なく参加できました。
ケアウホウを出港してケアラケクア湾まで4-50分かかります。その間にフィンとマスクを配ってくれます。
多くの人が浮き輪やフロート(貸し出し)を着けてシュノーケルしていました。4才と8才連れだったので、大きなビート板(水中みられる窓つき)を貸してもらえました。陽がかげっていたので寒かったため途中で船に上がりましたが、最後までスライダーを楽しむ外国人をみたり、それはそれで楽しめました。
行きの船ではプレッツェルとジュースが1階のギャレーで提供され、帰りにはフルーツが追加されます。クルーが2階にも配りに来てくれます。
英語がいまいちな我々にもクルーはややコミュニケーションをとろうとしてくれました。

Thank you very much for participating in our tour. While we handle reservations and customer inquiries in Japanese, we do not conduct tours in Japanese, so there may be some language barriers during the tour. However, I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience. It’s wonderful that the dolphins came so close, and you were able to see whales as well. Thank you for sharing such lovely photos.
この度は弊社のツアーにご参加いただき、誠にありがとうございました。弊社では、予約やお客様のご質問にはこうして日本語で対応させていただいておりますが、日本語のツアーは催行していないため、ツアーの間はどうしても言語の壁というものが少なからずあるかと思いますが、ツアーを楽しんでいただけたようで何よりです。イルカたちもそんなに近くまで来てくれたのですね。クジラも見られたのこと。すてきな写真もシェアしていただき、ありがとうございました。
