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's breathtaking. 圧巻です

Reviewed by: rokkizo

Fortunately, according to the guide, we saw the most dolphins recently. We were able to see dozens of dolphins and even swim alongside them. The experienced guide would find the dolphins and maneuver the boat to the best spots for encounters, and participants would jump into the sea as instructed. The guide was also very kind, making it enjoyable even for those who were alone.

運良くですがガイドさん曰く最近では一番よくかつ多くのイルカを見られました。何十頭ものイルカを見られ、並んで泳ぐこともできました。熟練のガイドさんでイルカを見つけては一番遭遇できる場所まで小回りの効く船で先回りして、参加者は指示どおり海に飛び込むという感じです。ガイドさんもとても親切で一人でも楽しめました。

The experience was awesome. I would recommend it to everyone. The tour operator was great and showed amazing forethought by providing water, wipes, jackets, and flashlights. Dinne at the lodge was delicious. In addition, our tour guide,Nick, was knowledgeable about the culture.

Dolphin dolphin dolphin! イルカイルカイルカ!

Reviewed by: くまもん

We stayed on Oahu and the Big Island for our honeymoon, and it became the best memory of all. First of all, the clarity of the ocean is just amazing. A pod of dolphins swims gracefully through the water, filling the air with their adorable sounds. I was completely healed by the sight of a baby dolphin jumping while wagging its tail! It seems like there are manta ray tours at night as well, so I want to participate in both next time.

ハネムーンでオアフ島、ハワイ島と滞在しましたが、全てにおいて1番の思い出になりました。
まず、なんといっても海の透明度。
そのなかを優雅に泳ぐイルカの群れ。
たくさんの可愛らしい鳴き声。
赤ちゃんイルカがしっぽをフリフリしながらジャンプするしぐさに、癒されまくりました!夜はマンタツアーもやってるみたいなので、次は両方参加したいなぁ。

Reviewed by: かなきち

I booked the plan over 350 meters, and I think most people can enjoy it even if they have a fear of heights. The moving boat shakes quite a bit, so it's good to have motion sickness medication if you're prone to getting seasick.

King Kayak Hawaii - Keauhou Bay Kayaking & Snorkeling Tour

Great way to spend a morning on the big island

Reviewed by: Jill

If you like kayaking and snorkeling, this is a great trip! The tour guide was very informative and actually took pictures for everyone on the trip. It was a smaller size group which was perfect for this kind of excursion. The snorkeling stops were great. The only thing is it is hard to get on and off kayaks when on the water! I fell off once when trying to take off my shorts. I want to do this one again when I go back.

The beautiful underwater world. 美しい海中の世界

Reviewed by: なかむらっち

First of all, I was impressed by the transparent and beautiful blue sea. Lucky for us, just as we left the port, we discovered a pod of dolphins swimming with their dorsal fins out of the water. We even spotted some dolphins jumping. I was able to enter the water about four times, aiming for the route the dolphins were taking. The wetsuit keeps you afloat without any effort, but if you're feeling anxious, it's a good idea to use a floatation device. I think we borrowed floatation devices for about three people this time.

During the first time in the water, I wasn't quite used to the sea yet, so I was a bit slow to put my face in the water, and I barely managed to see the dolphins swimming far away. The second time, as soon as I got in the water and put my face down, I was able to see a mother and baby dolphin swimming slowly right below me. I could also hear their cute squeaking sounds. After that, I got more comfortable in the water and was able to enjoy the sunlight filtering through the water and the sight of many dolphins swimming around me.

At the end, Daisuke, who was driving the boat, insisted that he wanted to get in the water! He switched places with Jesse and jumped in, swimming like a dolphin. I couldn't help but wonder if Daisuke was actually a dolphin (laughs).

Jesse, who also provided transportation, didn't look Japanese at all, but he spoke Japanese very well, and I was able to hear a lot of stories beyond just dolphins, which made it really enjoyable. Thank you very much!

まず最初、透明で美しい青い海に感動しました。
ラッキーなことに港を出てすぐに、背びれを出して泳いでいるイルカの群れを発見しました。
そのうちジャンプするイルカも発見。
イルカが進行してくるルートをねらって、4回ほど海に入らせてもらえました。
ウェットスーツは何もしなくても浮くのですが、不安な人は遠慮なく浮き具をもらうといいです。
今回は3人ほど浮き具を貸してもらっていたと思います。
1回目はちょっとまだ海に慣れてなかったので、顔を水に付けるタイミングが遅れて、遠くに泳いでいるイルカをなんとか見れたという感じでした。
2回目は、海に入ってすぐ顔をつけると、真下をゆっくり泳いでいく親子のイルカを見られました。
キューキューというかわいい声も聞けました。
それ以降は水に慣れてきて、海中を差し込む太陽光とたくさんのイルカの泳ぐ姿を余裕をもって見ることができました。
最後は船を運転していたダイスケさんが、どうしても海に入りたい!と言って、ジェシーさんに運転をチェンジして、海に入るとイルカみたいに泳いでました。
ダイスケさんはイルカなのかな?と思ってしまいました(笑)

送迎もしてくださったジェシーさんは全く日本人には見えませんが、日本語が大変上手くてイルカ以外の話もたくさん聞くことができ、とても楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました!

Inside the submarine, you can listen to explanations in Japanese through headphones.

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail

Beautiful Views

Reviewed by: NLKTravel

Pros: Our guide was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot. You go from sea level to about 13,800 feet, so remember to drink water. The views at 13,803 feet were beautiful. The observatories are interesting to see (from the outside). You observe stars with an 11" telescope at the visiter center parking lot. The guide points out stars/planets that everyone gets a chance to see. They give you jackets with gloves available.

Cons: It is a bumpy ride and some of the road is dirt. The "hot" meal was more of a box lunch. Bathroom breaks are limited. You do climb to 14,000', be prepared for the climate and altitude change. I was under the impression we could see more of the observatories, you only see them from the outside and are not allowed in.

The staff were very knowledgeable about the dolphins and spoke Japanese very well. They explained how to behave to see the dolphins better, and I was able to see many of them. Additionally, they frequently checked in with everyone to see if we were able to see the dolphins and if we were enjoying ourselves. Even for someone like me who isn't a strong swimmer, I felt safe and had a great time. I highly recommend it.

We participated with our elementary school-aged children. My wife and kids were a bit unsure about snorkeling in the open ocean for the first time, but thanks to our Japanese guide Daisuke, the whole family was able to enjoy it. We are very grateful. Although there were no prescription masks for the kids, we were still able to see dolphins without glasses (they were that close). When I asked the kids about their favorite memory in Hawaii, they said it was meeting the dolphins on this tour. We would love to use this service again if we have the opportunity.

小学校の低学年、高学年を連れての参加。妻と子供達は、外洋での初めてのシュノーケルに自信がなかったようですが、日本語ガイドのダイスケさんのおかげで、家族全員が楽しむことができました。感謝しています。子供用の度付きマスクの準備はありませんが、裸眼でもイルカを見ることができました(それだけイルカたちとの距離が近い)。子供達にハワイで一番楽しかった想い出を聞くと、このツアーでイルカと会えたことだそうです。また機会があれば利用したいと思います。

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>

Very satisfied. 大満足

Reviewed by: ITO

I came to Hawaii Island from Japan, excited for a vacation! This was my first trip to Hawaii, and I spent a full week on the island. Living in nature was incredibly refreshing.

We stayed at the Hilton Waikoloa Village condominium. Since there was no shuttle service to the tour destination, we headed to Honokohau Marina with the rental car we had. We drove south on Highway 19, turned right onto Kealakehe Parkway, and quickly spotted the blue-roofed mall, so we didn't get lost.

We arrived a bit early, so we explored the area and found it to be a charming port town, which heightened our excitement! Upon entering the building, we were greeted by an elderly man with white hair. Since I hardly speak any English, I managed to say "Good morning," and he responded with a smile. When I conveyed that I didn't understand English, he handed me a notice and consent form written in Japanese, along with an explanation of the tour and the sights.

There were about 14 participants in total, including two groups from Japan and three family groups from America (among them were four children in elementary school).

As we boarded the boat, we spotted rays in the harbor, which heightened our anticipation! Just 1-2 minutes after departing, wild dolphins appeared, and everyone was thrilled! It was amazing to see wild dolphins swimming alongside the boat and jumping, as if welcoming us!

Our destination was the site of Captain Cook's memorial! We sped across the sea, feeling the wind, but it was quite bumpy and sunny. Sunscreen and rash guards are essential.

The snorkeling point was in a calm cove with excellent visibility, and there were plenty of fish! My companion, who isn't a strong swimmer, was initially scared, but once we got into the water, they became engrossed and enjoyed snorkeling.

After about an hour of snorkeling, we returned to the boat, where homemade sandwiches were served. They were delicious! During several breaks, we also enjoyed snacks, juice, and pineapple! Eating on the water was an extraordinary experience, and the pineapple cut fresh by the captain was especially tasty! Break times were flexible, so even those without much stamina can participate comfortably.

After snorkeling, we were able to rinse off our hair and bodies with a shower! After that, we were guided to the sights. The guidance was all in English, which I couldn't fully understand, but I could grasp the general idea.

On the way back, we saw dolphins again, and when we returned to the harbor, we spotted a sea turtle, making the tour very satisfying!

However, since the captain's guidance was entirely in English, I think it would have been even more enjoyable if I understood English. If I could wish for something, having a Japanese guide would be ideal.

Overall, I was very satisfied, so I highly recommend it!

For those participating, I would like to share a few tips:
1. Be sure to bring sunscreen.
2. A rash guard or long sleeves; women should wear half pants over their swimsuits.
3. If you don't want to rent a mask and snorkel, bring your own.
4. A waterproof camera.

I think these items would be helpful!

日本からハワイ島へバカンスを楽しみにやって来ました!今回の旅行で初めてのハワイに!そして丸々1週間ハワイ島で過ごしました。大自然の中での生活はとてもリフレッシュ出来るものでした。
私たちはワイコロアにあるヒルトンキンクスランドのコンドミニアムに宿泊。
今回はツアー先まで送迎なしだったので借りていたレンタルカーで現地ホノコハウ・マリーナへ向かいました。
19号線をひたすら南下し、Kealakehe Pkwyを右折、すぐに目印の青い屋根のモールが見えたので迷いませんでした。

少し早めに着いたので周りを散策するととても雰囲気のある港町で楽しみが増して来ました!
建物に入ると白髪の老父がお出迎え!英語がほとんど話せない私はなんとか「グットモーニング」と話仕掛けると笑顔で対応してくれましたが英語はわかりませんと伝えると日本語の書いてある注意事項と同意書、そして今回のツアーの内容と名所の説明書きを渡されました。
実際に参加したのは私たちを含め日本から二組、アメリカから来ていたご家族グループ三組と14人位が参加(中には小学生低学年程のお子様も4人いました)

ボートに乗り込む時港にはエイが現れ、ワクワクが高まります!港を出港して1〜2分で野生のイルカが現れみんなで興奮しました!
まさかいきなり野生のイルカが現れてボートと並行して泳いだり、ジャンプしたりとまるで歓迎してくれているようでした!

目的地はキャプテン・クックの慰霊碑がある場所へ!海上を物凄いスピードで進み、風を感じられますが、激しい揺れと強い陽射しでした。
日焼け止めとラッシュガードは必需品です。

シュノーケリングポイントは波のない入江の小湾のような場所で透明度抜群で魚もたくさんいました!
泳ぐのが苦手な連れは最初は怖がっていましたが、いざ海に入ると夢中になって普通にシュノーケリングして楽しんでいました。

小一時間くらいシュノーケリングを楽しみ一度ボートに戻るとお手製のサンドイッチが振舞われました。それがとても美味しかったです!他にも数回の休憩中にスナックやジュース、パイナップルも!海上で食べる非日常の体験とても良かったです!キャプテンがその場で切ってくれたパイナップルもても美味しかったです!休憩は時間などは自分たち次第なので体力のない方でも安心して行えます。

シュノーケリングが終わるとシャワーで髪や青を洗わせてくれます!
シュノーケリング後に名所へ案内してくれました。ガイダンスは全て英語で理解できませんでしたが、なんとなくニュアンスでわかる?感じでした。

帰る途中もイルカが現れたり、港に戻るとウミガメが現れたりツアーとしては大満足出来ました!

ただキャプテンのガイドが全て英語だったので英語が理解できていればもっと楽しいと思います。贅沢を言えば日本語ガイドが付いていれば最高です。

トータル的にすごく満足できたのでオススメです!

参加する方にお伝えしたいことは
1.必ず日焼け止めを持っていく
2.ラッシュガード、もしくは長袖、女性は水着の上に履くハーフパンツ
3.マスク、シュノーケルのレンタルが嫌な方は自前の物を
4.水中用カメラ
を持っていくと良いと思います。

The Japanese guide, Daisuke, who came to pick us up, was very friendly and wonderful, making the bus ride enjoyable from the start. We were really surprised by how many dolphins we encountered right from the beginning. There are many dolphin tours available, but I'm really glad I participated in this one. If you want to swim with dolphins on the Big Island, I definitely recommend this tour. I want to join again, so I will work hard to save money and go back once I can dive.

迎えに来て下さった日本語ガイドのダイスケさんが、とても気さくで素敵な方で、行きのバスから楽しめました。そしてイルカちゃんは、本当にびっくりするくらい初めから、沢山出会えました。
イルカツアーは沢山ありますが、このツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。ハワイ島でイルカと泳ぎたい方は、是非このツアーをおすすめします。私ももう一回参加したいので、頑張ってお金をためて、潜れるようになってからまたいきたいです。

Terrific guide who was quite knowledgeable. Came close to spinner dolphins and had a wonderful time snorkeling watching the many beautiful fish.
