ハワイ島　シュノーケルクルーズ　SUP体験もできる充実ツアー！貸し切りプランあり＜午前／朝食・昼食付き＞ by フラカイ号

Enjoy the natural beauty of the ocean on the Big Island of Hawaii! ハワイ島の海の自然を満喫！

Reviewed by: DEXTE-K

Since it was a trip using a rental car, I had no trouble with transportation or exploring places. However, the meeting point at Keauhou Bay is located deep down a road, so it's advisable for first-timers to check a map in advance.

As for the English tour, there was absolutely no need to worry, as everyone pointed out. All the staff were friendly and spoke slowly and clearly, making it easy for me, who isn't very good at English, to understand even the jokes. They prepared the snorkeling gear before we boarded, and then we set sail.

At the designated spots, we were able to swim freely over the coral reefs in two bays suitable for snorkeling. The water clarity was high, probably around 30 meters. I was able to see various tropical fish, including butterfly fish. I had hoped to encounter sea turtles based on prior information, but unfortunately, that dream didn't come true. However, I did have an encounter with a large octopus about a meter long.

For lunch, we enjoyed freshly made big hamburgers and fruits, and I relaxed on the deck while sunbathing. The waves were gentle, so I don't think there was much worry about seasickness. Additionally, there is an option for a diving tour, but even just snorkeling and skin diving were thoroughly enjoyable.

On the return cruise, we were guided past the Captain Cook monument and the coffee belt area of Kona, as well as the nearby Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park, allowing us to enjoy a bit of sightseeing of the Big Island from the sea. The English during that time was at a natural speed, and I could only grasp the content vaguely. It might be good to prepare in advance.

Most impressively, we were able to encounter wild dolphins and even saw dolphin jumps. It became a beautiful and joyful memory.

This is a highly recommended tour where you can fully enjoy the nature of the Big Island. However, when the weather is nice, don't forget to take measures against UV rays.

レンタカーを用いての旅でしたので移動や場所の探索に困りませんでしたが、集合場所のケアホウ湾は道の奥まったところにあり、初めての方は事前に地図等でよく確認しておいたほうがよいでしょう。

また英語ツアーですが、皆さんがご指摘した通り全く心配ありませんでした。スタッフの方々すべてがフレンドリーで、丁寧な対応でゆっくりと話してくださったので、英語のあまり得意でない私にもジョークも含めてよくわかりました。シュノーケリンググッズを乗船前に準備していただき、いざ出航となります。

案内された目的地では、シュノーケリングに適した湾に２箇所ほどで思う存分サンゴ礁の上を泳ぐことができました。透明度も高く３０ｍほどはあったと思います。バタフライフィッシュをはじめ熱帯地区特有の様々な魚を観る事ができました。事前情報から海亀と出会えることを期待してましたが、残念ながら夢かなわず…。しかしながら、１ｍほどの大きなタコと遭遇することができました。

ランチには焼きたてのビッグハンバーガーとフルーツをおいしくいただき、日光浴をデッキの上で楽しみました。穏やかな波でしたし、船酔いの心配も特にないと思います。また、オプションでダイビングも１本楽しめるツアーですが、シュノーケリングとスキンダイブだけでも存分に楽しめるツアーです。

クルージングの帰路では、キャプテンクックの記念碑やコナ地区のコーヒーベルト地帯とその近くのプウホヌア・オ・ホナウナウ国立歴史公園の案内があり、海からのちょっとしたハワイ島観光も楽しめました。そのときの英語はナチュラルスピードで、なんとなくでしか内容の説明はわかりませんでしたが…。あらかじめ予習しておくといいかも知れません。

そしてなんといっても印象的でしたのが、野生のイルカと出会うことができ、ドルフィンジャンプも見ることが出来たことです。綺麗な嬉しく楽しい思い出となりました。

これぞハワイ島という程に自然を満喫できるお勧めのツアーです。でも、天気がいいときは、紫外線対策を忘れないように…。

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

an experience of a lifetime!

Reviewed by: ashley

This was an amazing experience to witness. You are probably five minutes off the shore by the sheraton resort and are left to swim with huge manta rays that swim right up next to you. It is a little scary at first but after the first few minutes you get used to it. The staff on the boat are very friendly and pretty humorous. You definitly get your moneys worth on this activity because you are in the water for about 45 minutes and they dont let you get in until a manta ray shows up so your time with the manta rays isnt wasted. The only bad things I have to say about this activity which was kind of a personal problem was that I got stung in the butt my something. It hurt pretty bad but the stinging went away in about a hour. I dont think anyone else had this problem though so I wouldnt be too worried about it. I would definitly sign up for this activity is I was you!

Parasailing in Hawaii was my first time ever and it was quite an adventure. You get amazing views and I got to be in the air with my hubby for ten minutes. On the down side, I was expecting this activity to be my faviorite activity that we signed up for but in the end it wasent on the top of my list. Don't get me wrong, if you have never done this before than I would highly recommend it but if you have already expereienced parasailing than I would spend my money on something else. I think that I might do this again in the future but only if it is not too pricy.

My friend Nancy and I purchased this tour on the Fair Wind as a Father's Day gift for our husbands, Jay & Jim. Jay & I had taken a similar tour in Kauai last summer. We were expecting a similar activity this time, but were pleasantly surprised to find that it was so much more. The catamaran was so much nicer, the snorkeling was wonderful, the crew was so attentive to our every need and the food was great also. We all had a wonderful time and will definitely do the same thing the next time we are on the Big Island of Hawaii. It was also great that the departure place was only a five minute walk from the resort where we were staying. The crew was very helpful in instructing us as to where to snorkel and find the most fish. My husband got some great pictures with his underwater camera. The boat was not over crowded.

The meeting point is a bay located about a 5-minute drive from the center of Kona. Other participants arrive sporadically, so it might be a bit confusing. The explanations are all in English, which might be challenging for some. However, the content is straightforward, so there's no need to worry. Above all, the staff are exceptionally friendly. The boat is small, so there's no need to wait in line for the restroom or meals (buffet style), making it comfortable. It's not too noisy either, allowing you to leisurely enjoy your "personal aquarium."

We parasailed during our visit to Kona. My 14-year-old twin sons participated while I observed from the boat. The staff was very professional and even joked with one of my sons who was extremely nervous, setting him at ease before his ride. The ride fulfilled their expectations to the fullest - they wanted to go back up immediately! Pictures were offered - I purchased them but haven't had an opportunity to develop them yet as we just returned home. Didn't really care for the sales pitch of t-shirts, visors, etc. at the end of the ride. As the boys were incredibly excited, I didn't want to disappoint them. I was "encouraged" to spend an additional $75 for t-shirts, which of course, I did. Overall, I would repeat the experience if the opportunity represents itself again!

Over many years of taking tours, I have seen many tour guides. However Buck Pelley ranks at the top of the stack. He is incredibly knowledgeable on such topics as geology, astronomy, plant life, and the history of the area. I hope that Buck remains as a tour guide. I would take another tour with him anytime anywhere.

The only thing that I would improve on the tour is the dinner. Although I understand the challenge of bringing food to the top of Mona Kea, the fish could have been hotter with a lot less salt. While the soup was good it was barely warm. Cookies were excellent

A world of silence like outer space.

Both departing and arriving at the ship can be done at a speed that is manageable for children and the elderly, and I believe there is a 100% guarantee that there will be no risk of water landing. While waiting in line, the ship was sailing at a reasonable speed, so I thought I would feel quite a breeze once we ascended, but I only felt a slight breeze when changing direction or when the wire was being reeled in for landing; it was mostly calm. It felt like just floating in space. Moreover, I was truly surprised by the silence. Since I was alone, it was a world completely devoid of sound, including any external noises. It was only a 10-minute experience, but I think it’s nice to try something like that once in a while.

宇宙空間のような静寂の世界
離船、着船ともに子供でも年配の方でも無理なく行えるスピードですし、着水の可能性も100%ないといって良いと思います。順番を待っているとき船はそれなりのスピードで航行していましたので上に揚がったらさぞかし風を感じるのかと思いきや、方向を変えるとき、着船のためワイヤーを巻き上げられるときに少し感じる程度で、殆ど無風です。空間にただ浮いているという感じでした。また何といってもその静寂さにはビックリです。自分は一人で乗ったので本当に外界の音を含め一切の音のない世界でした。たった10分間でしたがそんな時間を体験をしてみるのもたまには良いのではないでしょうか。

Audience's lively luau 観客のりのりルアウ

Reviewed by: himawari

I attended a Christmas luau with my elementary school child. In the morning at the hotel, I tried to reserve a Hanohano seat (which costs $8 for adults), but it was sold out. However, I was told that if we lined up on the left side of the coastal path, between around 4:20 and 4:30 PM (the gathering time was at 4:45), we could get good seats. This way, we ended up right behind the Hanohano seats in front of the stage. Upon entry, we received a shell lei for free. Mai Tais and beers were unlimited. After enjoying making fish out of tattoos and palm leaves, we watched the Kalua pig being brought out and the king entering from the sea, followed by our meal time (which included Hawaiian foods like poi and haupia, and we were full). The show featured dances from Hawaii, New Zealand, Tahiti, and a fire dance from Samoa (which the kids loved!).

It was interactive, with hula dancing, shouting greetings from each country loudly, and even doing lomi lomi massages with the person next to you, which was a lot of fun. There were few Japanese people, and the family next to us was from Portland, but we got along well. Let's enjoy together with the foreigners!

The meeting point was in a perfect location, just a five-minute walk from the Sheraton Keauhou Bay where we were staying. The catamaran was still new and very beautiful.

There were two of us and one other group of Japanese participants; everyone else was foreign. My husband is experienced with snorkeling, but I had only swum in a pool (where I could stand), so I was a bit scared at first. However, after being given a float, I was able to see many fish and was incredibly impressed! After seeing the lava tunnel, we dropped anchor in front of the Captain Cook monument, which apparently cannot be accessed by car. I was able to snorkel again. When we got out of the water, there was a wonderful smell...

It was the barbecue being cooked by the staff. We also enjoyed some wine, and the hamburgers were huge—probably three times the size of Japanese patties. It was a pleasant voyage with the sea breeze. Neither of us speaks English, but we had no trouble at all and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We would love to participate again.

I am nearsighted, so I usually wear regular snorkeling glasses, but I could hardly see anything. However, this time I was able to borrow glasses specifically for nearsightedness for the first time. Thanks to the captain who helped me find the right pair, my wife and I were able to dive (just floating in the waves) and saw amazing things. There were fish swimming right there! It was so moving!

While seeing the fish was great, the contrast of the catamaran sailing towards the horizon and the quiet navigation to the lava remnants (I didn’t understand the explanations since they were in English...) was wonderful. When the waves were calm, the feeling of racing at full speed across that sea made me feel exhilarated, and I think I forgot all about worldly matters.

Also, while the interaction with nature was nice, the barbecue prepared by the staff on the boat was very delicious. I definitely want to participate again next time!

It was my first time on the Big Island of Hawaii. I absolutely wanted to experience a luau! I thought it might be a bit different from Oahu, so I joined this tour. It was more packed than I expected, and I wanted to experience various things, so the time flew by.

First, he bought me a fresh lei for a commemorative photo! (Even if you don't buy one, everyone receives a shell lei.) When we were shown to our seats, the men immediately got up to grab drinks from the drink bar. In the meantime, I greeted the people at the same table. Then we headed to the plaza where various events were happening. First, I got a tattoo-style painting on my arm. I requested my favorite honu (sea turtle)! I also joined a hula lesson that had already started nearby. They quickly taught us the choreography for one song. I learned how to crack a coconut and did some weaving with lauhala (though I wasn't participating, so I don't know what was being made). Then they showed us the kalua pig, which is the main dish for dinner (a whole pig cooked underground).

There was never a dull moment! As the sun began to set, a canoe carrying Kamehameha arrived from the shore. This marked the beginning of the show. When I returned to my seat to get food, various dances from different countries were performed on stage.

I was able to chat with a newlywed couple from California at my table, and it was a very enjoyable evening.

This is my second time participating in the snorkeling tour organized by Fair Wind. Last time, I joined the morning cruise for snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, but this time I decided to join the Flukes Deluxe Snorkel/Scuba Cruise, which I had been interested in for a while. Both tours take you to Kealakekua Bay, where the water is clear and you can encounter many fish. The Flukes cruise has a new and luxurious feel to the boat, and it takes you to the southern waters at quite a speed, so I think you can enjoy not just snorkeling but also the feeling of cruising at a resort. The snorkeling point for the morning cruise is just one location (in front of Captain Cook), but the Flukes takes you to two spots. The caves that the Flukes takes you to are very mystical. We were fortunate enough to swim alongside a sea turtle. Fair Wind's snorkeling tours also provide prescription snorkeling masks, so those who usually wear glasses can participate without any worries.

A trip to Hawaii Island without a rental car for two women. We arrived at the Fair Wind office after about a 15-minute taxi ride from Royal Kona Resort (including tip, it was $20). When we handed over the voucher at the check-in counter, we received our boarding passes. We just needed to present those when boarding.

The day before, I had severe seasickness during the manta night snorkeling, so I was quite hesitant about getting on the boat. However, it turned out to be a larger boat than I expected, and I didn't experience any seasickness. The cruise to the snorkeling spots was fantastic, with beautiful views and a refreshing breeze.

All participants, except for an elderly Japanese couple, were foreigners. Although Japanese was hardly understood, there was no problem as snorkeling gear in the right sizes was provided on the boat.

For breakfast, there were croissants, eggs, fruits, yogurt, and oatmeal. The carrot juice was refreshing and delicious. There were two snorkeling spots. The water was deep, but the visibility was high, and we could see many fish. The staff guided us even into the caves, which was very satisfying.

After swimming at the two spots, the hamburger for lunch was thick and filling. It was so delicious that I finished it all. We were thrilled to see dolphins both going and coming back. I was moved by their jumping and swimming around the boat.

On the way back, we stopped by Captain Cook and received a history lesson. (I only understood a little English, so I didn't grasp much, but it was amusing.) Among the optional tours I participated in during this trip (Atlantis, manta night snorkeling, Hawaii Island day tour), I think this was the best tour. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii Island again, I would definitely like to participate.

The boat was larger than usual, and the facilities, including fresh water showers, were excellent! Moreover, it was fantastic that the boat moved quickly over the water with minimal rocking. Watching the marine blue surface of the sea under the sun while feeling the sea breeze washed away my usual fatigue.

We were also lucky to spot dolphins from a distance along the way.

For lunch, we had a BBQ on board. The hamburger after a swim was delicious! I enjoyed it with my favorite drink until I was full.

When I encountered fish I didn't recognize, the staff kindly brought out a guidebook and showed me pictures.

I definitely want to participate again. Thank you, Alan!

今回は透明度が高くて有名なケアラケクア湾でシュノーケルを楽しんできました。出国前からオンラインで予約申し込み＆支払いを済ませ、世の中便利になったものだと感心したものです。
当日は日本人が私と友人の２人のみ、英語が話せないので心配になりましたが、乗船スタッフ皆さんがとても優しく、言葉が通じなくても明るい笑顔に安心しました。
船は一般的なものより大きく真水のシャワーなど設備もすばらしかったです！また、なによりも揺れが少なく高速で海上を移動できるのが最高です。太陽の下でマリーンブルーの海面を眺めながら潮風に吹かれると、普段の疲れが一掃されます。
途中からイルカの姿も遠目に見られ、とてもラッキーでした。
昼食は船上でバーベＱランチです。ひと泳ぎした後のハンバーガーはこれまた美味しい！好みのドリンクと一緒にお腹一杯いただきました。
わからない魚はスタッフさんが、親切に図鑑を持ち出し写真をみせてくれました。
またまた、ぜひ参加したいと思います。
アランちゃん、ありがとう！

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＞

Enjoying Hawaii ハワイを満喫

Reviewed by: kiripon

On the first day of my arrival, I went to the show. I felt like it started before I really understood what was happening, probably because I'm not used to English, but I was quite moved by the appearance of the king. I was able to experience a ceremonial hula that you can't find in other dinner shows. Everyone there was very friendly, but since I couldn't speak English, I could only manage polite smiles. It seems that having better English skills is necessary to enjoy it more. As for the food... well, it was just average. I was happy to drink a lot of Kona coffee, though.

到着初日に行ったきました。
英語に慣れていないせいか、よく分からないうちに始まってしまった感がありましたが、キングの出現にはかなり感動しました。
他のディナーショーでは味わえない儀式的なフラを体験することが出来ました。
来ている方々皆さんとてもフレンドリーなのに英語を話せないばかりに愛想笑顔のみ。もっと楽しむには英語力が必要のようです。
料理は・・・・まぁ普通かな。コナコーヒーがいっぱい飲めてうれしかったですけど

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

Participate in the afternoon. 午後のに参加

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

On the first day of my arrival on the Big Island, I participated in this tour. After renting a car at Kona Airport, I headed straight to the meeting point, arriving at 1 PM to prepare and board the boat at 2 PM. It was raining, but we were still able to snorkel. An hour after boarding, we reached a fairly deep spot near the Captain Cook monument. Due to the bad weather, not much was captured on the underwater camera, but I was able to see fish with my own eyes. As for the snacks, we were served pineapple, oranges, potato chips, and drinks. I wasn't sure if there was a paid drink menu, but I was able to order something casually and they brought it to me. In this tour, we were the only Japanese participants. There were no staff members who spoke Japanese. It felt like being in a foreign party, as the foreigners on board were happily chatting away.

ハワイ島に着いた初日に参加。コナ空港でレンタカーを借りてすぐに集合地に向かい１３時につき準備をして１４時に乗船できました。雨がふっていましたが、シュノーケルできました。乗船して１時間後、キャプテンクックの記念碑のそばでかなり深い場所でした。天気が悪かったので水中カメラで撮ったものはあまり写っていませんが、肉眼で魚を見ることができました。軽食というだけあって、パイナップルとオレンジ、ポテトチップスと飲み物がでました。飲み物は有料メニューがあるのかないのか不明でしたが、適当に頼んだらだしてもらえます。このツアーに日本人は私達しかいませんでした。スタッフも日本語が話せる人もいません。外国のパティーにでもきたような位、乗船中は外国人が楽しそうに談話してます。

When it comes to shows that are characteristic of Hawaii! ハワイらしいショーと言えば♪！

When you go to Hawaii, you definitely have to enjoy a dance show! However, it can feel a bit lonely if you don't understand English. The host will show you where to sit. After that, it would be a waste to just sit there not knowing what to do! You can go get a free drink and enjoy it, or before the show, you can learn how to open coconuts, get a tattoo, make angel fish from palm leaves, and learn hula dancing at two different stations. Even if you don't understand English, it's better to get up and explore rather than just sitting around.

The buffet-style meal is also guided to your table, so you just have to wait! The food is delicious, and it seems like it was tailored to suit Japanese tastes! It's really tasty! The dancing is fun, and the scent of the ocean and the sound of the waves are refreshing, which made me feel great.

However, it was a bit disappointing that it rained in Kona, which is quite rare!

やっぱりハワイに行ったら、ダンスショーを楽しまなきゃ！って思いましたね。ただ英語がわからないと寂しい思いもします。座る場所はホストが教えてくれます。その後はどうして良いか判らず座っていると勿体ない！。フリードリンクを取って来て飲んでも良し、ショーの前にココナツの剥き方や、タトゥー、ヤシの葉で作るエンゼルフィッシュ，フラダンスの仕方など２カ所に別れてやっているので、英語がわからずとも座っていないでどんどん見て回ると良いです。
ビュッフェタイプの食事もテーブル事に案内してくれるので、まっていれば良いだけ！。
料理はそれも美味しくて、日本人好みにしたんじゃないか！って位口に合います。それを食べても美味しいです！。ダンスも楽しいし、海の香りと波の音も爽やかで、いい気分でした~。
ただコナには珍しく雨が降ってきました。これがちょっと残念！。
