All Reviews for Kailua-Kona

It takes about 30 minutes by boat from the port to Manta Point while enjoying the sunset. We lowered LED surfboards around the point to attract plankton and the manta rays that feed on them... and they appeared! After confirming their presence, we entered the water and snorkeled around the surfboards to observe the mantas. They also lent us noodles (floating poles), and we spent about 45 minutes in the water. It was an exhilarating experience to see two mantas rolling right in front of us! On the way back to the port after snorkeling, it can be chilly with just a swimsuit due to the wind. It was a good decision to rent a wetsuit, even though there was an additional fee.

港からマンタポイントまで30分ほど、夕陽を見ながら船で移動します。
ポイント周辺でLED付きのサーフボードをおろして、プランクトンと、これを食むマンタを呼ぶことしばし...。現れてくれました！
姿を確認してから海へ入り、サーフボードの周りでシュノーケリングしながらマンタ見学。ヌードル(浮きポール)も貸していただいて、45分くらい海に入っていました。
2 枚のマンタがローリングを繰り返すのを目の前で見ることができ、大興奮の体験でした！
シュノーケル後に港に戻るときは風も受けるので水着だけでは寒いと思います。追加料金が必要ですが、ウェットスーツを借りて正解でした。

I went to a different location than the one which was thought.
I expected the manta was not seen only a little,but I think that nature is unavoidable because the opponent.
The staff are very friendly and made an effort.

We participated in the tour starting at 2:00 PM. The morning tour is about $50 more expensive and includes breakfast and lunch, and if you want transportation included, it’s an additional $20. Since we went by rental car, it cost us about $100 each. I’ve been on lunch-inclusive tours a few times, but I don’t have a great impression of meals prepared on the boat! I think the morning tours attract more customers due to the wave height, but the snorkeling spots are calm, so it’s reassuring. This tour definitely requires English proficiency; if you're not confident, having a Japanese guide is a safer option. Everything on the boat is in English, including explanations and safety instructions, so you need to pay attention to avoid danger! We didn’t see any dolphins, but there were plenty of fish!

午後便で、14：00時からのツアーに参加、午前中のツアーは朝食とランチが付いて50ドル程高くなり、送迎付きだと 更に20ドル程高くなります、私達は、レンタカーで行ったので、一人100ドル程、ランチ付きのツアーは何回か行きましたが、所詮 舟の中で作る食事、あまり良いイメージがありませんので！午前にお客が偏るのは、やはり 波に高さだと思いますが、シュノーケルをするスポットは、波が無いので安心できます、このツアーは英語力は絶対必要で、自信の無い方は、日本語ガイド付きが安心です、船内は全て英語、説明 注意などなど、ちゃんと聞かないと、危険なので！イルカはみれませんでしたが、魚はたくさんいましたよ〜

There are several tour companies that offer sunset and stargazing tours at the summit of Mauna Kea, but I chose the tour from Mauna Kea Nature School. I believe a lot depends on the guide's skills, and I'm glad I made this choice. The guide's storytelling was excellent, making the half-day tour feel shorter. On the day of the tour, we were fortunate with the weather at the summit and were able to see a beautiful sunset and a stunning starry sky. Participating in this tour made me feel like I achieved half of my travel goals. I would join again.

マウナケア山頂サンセット＆スターゲイジングツアーを催行しているツアー会社は複数社あるようですが、私はマサシネイチャースクールのツアーを選びました。ガイドさんの力量によるところも多いとは思いますが、選んで良かったです。ツアー中の話術も巧みで半日間のツアーも短く感じれるようでした。当日は山頂の天気にも恵まれて綺麗なサンセットと綺麗な星空を見られましたし、このツアーに参加して今回の旅行の半分の目的が達せられた気分です。また参加します。

I came to the Big Island of Hawaii for the first time with three beautiful single women from Japan. Since all of us, including myself, love the ocean, we were determined to go snorkeling while in Hawaii. Because this was a quick trip, I wanted to enjoy the ocean efficiently without renting a car, so I looked for snorkeling tours and found this tour to swim with wild dolphins.

On the day of the tour, the weather was great, and we had a guide who was well-versed in the ocean and dolphin ecology. We had a wonderful time swimming with many dolphins. On our way out to sea, we encountered a very rare pilot whale, which was an exciting memory for all of us.

I definitely want to repeat this experience when I go back to the Big Island!

日本から独身の美女3人を引き連れて、初めてハワイ島に遊びに来ました。自分を含めて全員海が大好きなので、ハワイ島に来たら絶対にスノーケルをしようと思っていました。今回は弾丸旅行だったこともあり、レンタカーを借りずに効率的に海遊びをしたいと考え、ベルトラさんのスノーケリングツアーを探して、目に留まったのがこの野生のイルカと泳ぐツアーでした。

当日はお天気も良く、海やイルカの生態を知り尽くしているガイドさんにアテンドしていただき、本当にたくさんのイルカとともに楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。船で沖まで出る途中に、すごくレアなゴンドウクジラに遭遇して、みんなで興奮したのも良い思い出になりました。

またハワイ島に行ったら絶対にリピートしたいと思います！

I was thrilled by the number of dolphins that exceeded my expectations.

The day we participated was incredibly lucky; since it was just my husband and me, we had a private tour and were able to set sail early. Within about five minutes of departure, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and we hardly moved the boat at all. We were able to stay in the water and watch the dolphins for a long time.

I was impressed by Daisuke and Kevin, who were in charge that day. Their overflowing love for the dolphins and their professionalism in entertaining the guests were truly remarkable.

There are many dolphin tours available, but I absolutely recommend the Aloha Kona Tour.

予想を上回るイルカの数に大興奮しました。

私たちが参加した日は、とてもラッキーな日で、主人と2人で貸切だったこともあり、早く出航することができたので、出航して5分ほどでイルカの群れに遭遇し、ボートで移動することはほとんどなく、ずっと海に入ってイルカを見ることができました。
この日担当して下さったダイスケさん、ケビンさん、2人のイルカへの溢れる愛情と参加したお客さまを楽しませることへのプロ意識の高さに感動しました。

イルカツアーはたくさんありますが、アロハコナツアーが絶対おすすめです。

This was my second time participating (I joined at the request of my companion).
Last time it was cold, so I was fully prepared with tights, pants, and Heattech! It felt like summer in Hawaii, haha.
This time, it wasn't cold at all. I didn't need the tights...

There are differences depending on the time of year, and it seems that summer is definitely warmer (last time was in May and it was cold...).

No matter how many times I go, the bento and miso soup are consistently delicious!

And the views are amazing! The sunset and starry sky were beautiful no matter how many times I saw them.

２回目の参加でした（同行者の希望で参加）
前回が寒かったので、完全防備の
タイツにズボン、ヒートテック！で常夏のハワイ笑
今回は、全く寒くなかったです
タイツは要らなかったなぁ…

参加する時期によって差があり、
夏の時期のほうがやっぱり温かいそうです
（前回が５月で寒かった…）

何度いってもお弁当とお味噌汁は
安定の美味しさ！

そして、最高の景色！
夕焼け、星空は何度見てもきれいでした

Three years ago, when I participated, I encountered road closures and couldn't reach the summit, so I ended up watching the sunset and stargazing from a small hill along the way. This time, I joined to take revenge on that experience, and with the good weather and unusual clouds, the reflection of Mauna Kea and the shadows of the clouds on the opposite side of the sunset were truly enchanting.

3年前に参加した時は、現地の道路封鎖にあって、頂上までは行けずに
途中の小山で夕陽を見て星空観察となってしまいました。今回はそのリベンジをするべく参加しましたが好天と珍しい雲をみて、夕日と反対側に映った
マウナケアと雲の影が実に幻想的でした。

This was my second sunset and stargazing tour. Just like last time, we were blessed with good weather and had a wonderful time. The explanations about the stars were very clear and easy to understand.

二回目のサンセットと星空ツアーでした。
前回同様天候に恵まれ、ステキな時間を過ごせました。
星空は色々解説頂いたのでわかりやすかったです。

Before participating, I had some concerns…
- Would the restrooms be cramped and dirty?
- Would it be uncomfortable on the boat?

There were no problems at all!
The restrooms were about the size of those in a one-room apartment in Tokyo, and there were two of them, making them very easy to use.
The boat was spacious, and the distance between guests was just right.

About 30 minutes after departure, we had our first cruising and breakfast!
The sea was beautiful, and we went snorkeling in a spot where the depth was about 12 to 15 meters.
It was my first time snorkeling in a place where I couldn't touch the bottom, so I was a bit nervous.
For breakfast, there was a small buffet with bread, omelet, and yogurt loaded with fruits. The fruits were so delicious that I had seconds.

After staying there for about 40 minutes, we moved to the second snorkeling point for more snorkeling and lunch.
We even encountered sea turtles!!
For lunch, we had hamburgers, and we could choose our own toppings. It was incredibly delicious, and I was thrilled.

On the way back, we cruised under a completely clear blue sky and arrived on time.

I want to go again!

参加する前に心配だった点…
・トイレは狭くて汚くないか？
・船の上は窮屈じゃないか？

全然問題なかったです！
トイレは東京の1ルームアパートのトイレくらいの広さのものが2箇所に設置されていてとても使いやすかったです。
船の上も広く、他のお客さんとの距離も適度でした。

出発してから30分位いどうして最初のクルージング＆朝食！
海がきれいで底までが12～15mくらいのところでシュノーケリングをしました。
足が届かないところでのシュノーケリングは初めてだったのでドキドキしました。
朝ごはんはパン、卵焼き、フルーツたっぷりのヨーグルトなど、小さなビュッフェ形式でした。フルーツが美味しくておかわりしちゃいました。

そこで40分位滞在してから2個めのシュノーケリングポイントに移動して、シュノーケリング＆昼食
ウミガメにも出会えました！！
お昼のハンバーグ、トッピングを自分で選べました。すごく美味しくて感激しました。

帰りは雲ひとつない快晴の空の下をクルージング、定刻通り到着しました。

また行きたいです。

During the pickup, the guide informed us that the roads were closed due to snowfall and that cancellations were possible. On the way to the pickup, there were several groups who decided to cancel. We thought of this as an experience and continued on to the Onizuka Center. We waited while eating our lunch, hoping that the weather would clear up and the road would be reopened, but in the end, it was not.

After that, we hurriedly searched for a good spot to see the sunset and drove the van. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy a beautiful sunset and starry sky. The photos taken can be downloaded later.

Finally, we received a re-participation ticket valid for one year. It seems we need to apply directly on the website rather than through here, but I definitely want to challenge this again next year. Also, I was happy to meet BigJin, who helped us on a previous tour, after eight years.

お迎えの時にガイドさんから、降雪のため道路封鎖中、キャンセルも可とお話しいただきました。ピックアップの途中、キャンセルされる方も幾組あり。私たちは、これも何かの経験だと思い、そのままオニヅカセンターまで行きました。きれいに晴れてこのまま閉鎖が解除されるといいなとお弁当を食べながら待っていましたが、結局解除されず。
そのあと、サンセットを見るために、大急ぎできれいに見られる場所を探してバンを走らせました。おかげで美しいサンセットと星空を見ることができました。撮っていただいた写真はあとからダウンロードできます。
最後に、1年以内有効の再参加チケットをいただきました。こちらからではなく、直接サイトに申し込む必要があるそうですが、ぜひ、来年チャレンジしたいと思います。
あと、以前のツアーでお世話になったBigJinさんと8年ぶりにお会いできて、それがうれしかったです。

I wasn't able to see the moment the sun set, but the sunset was magical, and I experienced a little rain. I saw lightning in the clouds at my feet, which was a precious experience. The starry sky was amazing and became a lifelong memory. I left something in the car. I called the company the next day, and they immediately checked the car for me. They informed me that it would be picked up at my hotel the following day. The staff's efforts to entertain and their prompt problem-solving actions are truly commendable.

夕日が沈む瞬間は見ることができませんでしたが、夕焼けは幻想的で少ない雨も体験でき、足元の雲の中で稲光が光り、貴重な体験をいたしました。星空は最高で一生涯の思い出になりました。車に忘れ物をしてしまいました。翌日会社に電話をしましたが、すぐ車内を見てくださり、翌日滞在先のホテルでピックアップがあるとのことで届けてくださいました。スタッフの人を楽しませる努力と即問題解決に対応する行動は激賞に値します。

I knew it was a full moon season, but I definitely want to go during a dark moon phase next time. It's a shame I couldn't schedule it due to work commitments. The experience met my expectations. Good job!

時期的に、満月だということがわかっていましたが、次回はぜひ暗い月齢時に
行きたい。　　　なかなか業務上予定がとれなくて残念
内容は、期待どおりでした。　　　Ｇｏｏｄ　Ｊｏｂ

We participated as a family of four. On the day of the event, we couldn't see the sunset due to the clouds, but the stargazing after moving to a different location was wonderful. After sunset, the stars began to appear one by one, and in the end, we were treated to a sky full of stars and the Milky Way. I was able to see two shooting stars with my own eyes for the first time. They really do exist!

I was amazed that we could drive all the way up to the summit at 4,200 meters. It was a valuable experience to see Japan's Subaru Telescope and observatories from various countries.

Additionally, as an apology for the delay in the hotel pickup, we received a small bag of Kona coffee, which made me feel the sincerity of their proper Japanese hospitality. I would love to join guide Tyler again!

家族４人で参加しました。
当日は雲の影響で、夕陽は見れませんでしたが、場所を移動しての天体観測は素晴らしかったです。
日没後、少しずつ星が現れ始め、最後は降るような星空と、天の川になりました。
流れ星も2つ？、生まれて初めて肉眼で確認出来ました。本当にあったんですね。
4200メートルの頂上まで車で行けるのが凄いと思いました。日本の昴展望台や、各国の観測所も見る事が出来て、貴重な体験でした。
また、ホテルのPick upが遅れたお詫びに、コナコーヒーの小袋をいただき、きちんとした日本的な対応で誠意を感じました。
ガイドのタイラさん、またご一緒したいです!

It was my first experience, but the explanations and assistance were thorough, and I had a great time. However, I had some trouble understanding the directions to the meeting point since we gathered on-site.

初めての体験でしたが、丁寧に説明やアシストをしてくたさり楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ただ、現地集合で行ったのですが、集合場所の案内がよくわからなかったのが少し困りました。

The long-awaited starry sky of Hawaii Island.
With only five days until the full moon, I was worried about whether I would be able to see it properly, but I was able to see incredibly beautiful stars.
The moonlight was bright, and I thought it might have been even more beautiful with a new moon or with the starry sky and sunrise.
The explanations about the stars were easy to understand and simply moving.
Dinner also came with miso soup! It was really delicious.
The sunset was beautiful, and the explanations about the stars were great. Above all, they took a lot of photos and provided them for free download later! They were far more beautiful than what I could take myself, and the guide was very good at talking! It was the Ishikawa group, and it was so interesting and fun. Keita and Masa were incredibly enjoyable! If I go to Hawaii Island again, I will definitely participate!

念願のハワイ島の星空。
満月まであと5日だったので、ちゃんと観れるか不安でしたが、すっごく綺麗な星観れました。
月明かりが明るくて新月か、星空と朝日だったらもっと綺麗だったかなと思いました。
星の説明もわかりやすくただただ感動。
夕飯も味噌汁付き！すごく美味しかった。
夕日も綺麗だし、星の説明も、なにより写真をたくさん撮ってくれてあとから無料でダウンロード！自分で撮るよりはるかに綺麗だし、ガイドさんが話し上手！いしかわ号でしたが、もう面白くて楽しくて。けいたさんとまささん、めちゃめちゃ楽しかった！またハワイ島に行ったら絶対に参加します！

They will pick you up at the hotel lobby around 2 PM.
It’s cold at the summit, but they provide warm clothing, so you don’t need to prepare anything special. They also lend gloves.
You will have your meal around 4 PM, but since I wasn't very hungry, I couldn't eat much. The miso soup was delicious.
After that, they will take photos at the observatory and other spots.

The sunset changes with the weather, so please pray for good weather that day!

As for stargazing, it was the day after the full moon, so the moon was quite bright, and I was told that the stars would quickly disappear, but I still enjoyed it thoroughly.

14時前後にホテルロビーに迎えに来てくれます。
山頂は寒いですが、上下の防寒具を貸してもらえるため、特にこちらでの対策は不要です。手袋も貸してくれます。
食事のお弁当が16時前後に食べることになりますが、お腹がすいていないこともあり、あまり食べられませんでした。味噌汁がおいしかったです。
その後、天文台などで写真を撮ってくれます。

サンセットは空模様で変わりますので、その日の天候を祈ってください笑

星空観測は満月の翌日だったこともあり、かなり月が明るく、星がすぐに消えてしまうよーと言われましたが十分にたのしめました。

We participated in a snorkeling tour with our 5-year-old child. We often sign up for snorkeling tours when traveling, but this was our first time on a large boat, as we usually take speedboats.

Since the meeting point was local, we needed to park our rental car at the tour company's parking lot, but we were a bit confused about the location, so be careful with that. (It takes just under 50 minutes from Waikoloa.)

In this tour, we were the only Japanese participants, and the rest were Westerners, but they spoke in quite clear English, so we could get the gist of things from the atmosphere. Right after departure, there was a breakfast buffet, and soft drinks were available for free if you asked at the bar counter; our child enjoyed drinking juice. The waves were calm, so there was no spilling of drinks, and the stability was definitely different.

The snorkeling spot was quite deep (about 10 meters?), but the water was very clear, allowing us to see the bottom. While we weren't surrounded by a large number of tropical fish like at the Great Barrier Reef, we did encounter some colorful fish, which was enjoyable. The boat also had a slide and a diving board, but we didn't challenge ourselves with those... (The Westerners were diving in a lot, though!)

For lunch, we had handmade hamburgers. We could choose our own patties, buns, and vegetables to assemble our burgers. True to American style, the patties were very good and delicious, and drinks were always available, making for a comfortable and relaxing experience.

If you have small children, many snorkeling tours on the Big Island have age restrictions, often requiring participants to be 12 years or older, but this one was fine. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any dolphins, but it was a very enjoyable memory!

5歳の子供を連れてシュノーケルツアーに参加。よく旅行先ではシュノーケルツアーを申し込んでますが、今までスピードボートばかりで、今回のような大型船は初めてでした。
現地集合のため、レンタカーを催行会社の駐車場に停める必要があるのですが場所がよくわからず戸惑ってしまいましたので、かなり注意です。(ワイコロアからだと50分弱かかります)

このツアーで日本人は私たちのみで残りは欧米人しかいませんでしたが、かなりクリアな英語で話してくれるので雰囲気で内容は察せそうです。出航後すぐに朝食のビュッフェがあり、ソフトドリンクはバーカウンターの方に頼めばフリーで出してくれますし、子供はジュースを好んで飲んでいました。波も穏やかだったせいかドリンクが零れるような揺れもなく、安定感はやはり違いますね。

シュノーケルスポットは水深は深い(10m弱くらいかな？)ですがかなり海の透明度が高く、底が見えます。グレートバリアリーフのような大量の熱帯魚に囲まれることはありませんが、カラフルな魚には割と出会えるので楽しめるかと。
船にはスライダーや飛び込み台もありますが、さすがにこちらは挑戦せず…(欧米人の方はめっちゃ飛び込んでました笑)
昼食は今はハンドメイドのハンバーガーです。パティやバンズ、野菜など、自分で取って組み合わせて食べるスタイルです。さすがはアメリカ、パティの肉感がとても良く美味しく頂けましたし、常時飲み物は頂けるので、快適に寛いで過ごすことが出来ました。


小さいお子さん連れだとハワイ島のシュノーケルツアーは12歳から等の年齢制限があるものも多く参加出来ないこともありますが、こちらは大丈夫です。
私たちはイルカには残念ながら会えませんでしたが、とても楽しい思い出となりました！

I think it took about 40 minutes from departure to see the dolphins. The day before, it took an hour and a half, so we were able to see the dolphins really quickly.

According to the guide, there were a lot of dolphins today—maybe around 200? They kept coming one after another, which was surprising!

Once we got into the water, we could hear the dolphins' sounds very clearly.

Thank you for an amazing experience!

出港してからイルカに会えるまで約40分ぐらいだったと思います。前日は1時間半かかったとの事だったのですごく早くイルカに会えました。

ガイドさん曰く今日はすごい沢山のイルカがいるよ〜と、200頭とかいたのかな⁇次から次へとイルカがやって来てビックリ！

海に入るとイルカの鳴き声がすごく聴こえてました。

最高に素敵な体験をありがとうござます。

One of the best trips we have been on. JEFF was excellent both in the way he described the Island, his humour and knowledge.
Overall this created a memory that will last a life time.
We should also say that this trip would never have existed without pele. It made us realise how much we owe to nature and how much we take it for granted.

I participated in dolphin snorkeling for the first time on the Big Island of Hawaii. I thought it would be a diving boat, but it turned out to be a Zodiac. The captain and the navigator were humorous and taught us a lot. It seemed that other boats were also searching for dolphins, but most of them couldn't find any, and the main Spinner Dolphins were elusive. However, we did spot the endangered Hawaiian monk seal along the way! After that, we zoomed around in the Zodiac, holding on tight, and discovered a pod of bottlenose dolphins! Unlike the Spinner Dolphins, they don't approach humans, so when we got close, they would dive away. Thanks to the captain's determination, we were able to see about six of them up close, which was fantastic!!!

However, preparing and challenging myself multiple times was tough for a guy over 50.

初めてハワイ島でイルカシュノーケリングへ参加しました。
ダイビングの時に載る船かな～と思っていたらゾディアックということでした。とにかく船長にナビゲーターの方がユーモラスで色々と教えてくれました。今回は他の船もイルカを探していたようですがほとんどの船がイルカに会えずメインのSpinner Dolphinは見つからず、途中絶滅危惧種のハワイアンモンクシールを発見！その後もゾディアックでガンガン飛ばして落ちないようにつかまっているうちにバンドウイルカの親子の群れを発見！でも、Spinner Dolphinと違って人間に寄ってこないため近づくと潜ってしまいます。そこを船長の根性で無事6頭ほど間近で見ることができてよかった！！！

でも、何度も準備してチャレンジは50過ぎの親父にはきつかった～～。

Our Kayak and Snorkel tour was unbelievable! We saw spinner dolphins up close while we kayaked in a beautiful bay! They came up quite close to our kayak...we loved it soooo much! We then went over to the snorkel area near the Captain Cook memorial site. The reef is healthy and the colourful fish are everywhere! Our guide was Jay who was easy going and very pleasant and welcoming! I highly recommend this tour! I will for sure be back in the future!

The weather was great, and I was lucky to meet a lot of dolphins! Since the waves were strong, I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're worried about seasickness. I took some and was totally fine. It seems that the timing of encounters depends on luck, so it’s best to schedule with some extra time.

天候、イルカさんの気分に恵まれ、たくさんのイルカさんに会えました！波が強かったので、船酔いや波酔いが心配な場合は酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。自分は酔い止めを飲んで全然大丈夫でした。遭遇のタイミングは運によるらしいので、時間に余裕を持ってスケジューリングしといたほうが良さそうと思います。

Every time I go to the Big Island, I participate in stargazing, but this was my first time at Mauna Kea.
The sunset from above the sea of clouds...
This is truly breathtaking beauty!!
I'm really glad I participated!!
My worries felt so small. (laughs)
This is a must-do tour when you visit the Big Island!!
The guide's explanations about the stars were easy to understand too♪
The cocoa in the cold, as well as the bento, were even more delicious than I had imagined! (laughs)

ハワイ島に行く度、星空観測には参加しますが、マウナケアは初めてでした。
雲海からの、夕暮れ。。。
息を呑む美しさとは、まさにこのこと！！
本当に参加してよかったです！！
自分の悩みが、ちっぽけに感じました。（笑）
ハワイ島に行ったら、マストなツアーですね！！
ガイドさんがしてくれる星の説明もわかりやすかったです♪
寒い中のココアも、またお弁当も想像していたより美味しかったです！（笑）

Awana, our guide was absolutely wondetful. He was so courteous, professional and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. I think we best part besides the scenery, was the Hawaii Botanical Garden. It wasn’t user friendly, due to some health conditions, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, and could have spent a lot more time there. Awana got us back to the airport to catch our flight in record time, after a long day.

I was the only Japanese person, but the staff took photos for me, and other guests took photos as well, which was fun.

I was often asked how I found this tour.

There were slides, and they had floaties and other equipment ready, which made me feel very secure. It seems you can also drink alcohol if you pay extra.
For breakfast, there were bread, muffins, fruits, and scrambled eggs? For lunch, there were hamburgers and pasta.

The taste was okay.

You can have a great time even alone.

日本人はわたしだけでしたが、スタッフの人が写真を撮ってくれたり、お客さんが写真を撮ってくれたりして楽しかった。

やたら、どうやってこのツアーを見つけたの？みたいなことを聞かれてた。

滑り台があったり、浮き輪などもしっかり準備されていて、とても安心できました。お金を払えばお酒も飲めるようです。
朝食はパン、マフィン、フルーツ、卵焼き？、飲み物、お昼はハンバーガーとパスタ。

味はまぁまぁかな？

1人でも十分楽しめます。

I was so thrilled to encounter the dolphins during my first snorkeling experience. It was a mystical and incredibly beautiful experience that I can't put into words. Please be sure to try it out. Thank you, Daisuke, for your guidance. I think we were a bit of a handful, but we had a great time. I had a very good experience there. Everyone, please participate. If I go to the Big Island, I want to join again. Daisuke, you'll be fine at Kansai Airport. Have fun in Norway!

初めてのシュノーケリングで、めっちゃイルカちゃん達に、出逢えて感激です。神秘的で、言葉にできないほど、美しい経験が出来ました。是非、体感して下さい。インストラクターの大輔君ありがとうございました。。。私達夫婦足手まといやったと思うけど、すごい楽しませて頂きました。I had a very good experience there. 皆さん是非参加して下さい。ハワイ島に行ったら、また参加したいです。大輔君、関空大丈夫よん。ノルウェーで楽しんで来て下さい。

The Kona area was rainy, and I was worried about whether we would be able to see the stars, but the summit was clear! The guide said it was a perfect sky, rated 150 points. I was also moved by the telescopes from various countries. I was concerned about altitude sickness, but as long as I took deep breaths frequently, I was fine. We received explanations about the stars, saw shooting stars, and it became an unforgettable experience. It's definitely worth going.

コナ地域は雨が降っていて、星見えるかなぁと心配でしたが、山頂は晴れ！150点の空と、ガイドさんも言っていました。
各国の望遠鏡も感動しました。
心配していた高山病も、深呼吸を頻繁にしていれば大丈夫です。
星の説明も受け、流れ星も見て、忘れられない体験になりました。行く価値あります。

The sunset was a no-go due to the hurricane's impact, but the sea of clouds was perfect. The clouds cleared, and the starry sky at an altitude of 3000 meters was amazing! I realized that the Milky Way really exists and that satellites are flying above. It became a wonderful memory.

ハリケーンの影響で夕日はNGでしたが、雲海はバッチりでした。
雲も取れて、標高3000mが見た星空は素晴らしかったです！
天の川って本当にあるのだな。人工衛星って飛んでいるのだな。って、良い思い出になりました。

The Japanese female guide was very cheerful and pleasant. I felt reassured because I wanted someone who could speak Japanese to guide us, and her bright demeanor helped ease my tension.

I was a bit anxious about entering the sea at night, but the guide explained everything properly and went in first, which allowed me to follow and jump in as well. Once I jumped in, there was nothing to be afraid of, and I was able to grab onto a float right away.

In the end, five manta rays came to us, which was breathtaking. I don't think there are many opportunities to get so close to wild creatures.

It was an amazing experience. I believe this is one activity I would recommend to everyone.

ガイドの日本人女性がとても明るくて感じが良かったです。
アクティビティーは出来れば日本語の出来る方にガイドしてもらいたかったので安心出来ましたし、明るく接して下さったので、緊張もほぐれました。

夜の海に入るのは少し不安があったのですが、ガイドの女性がキチンと説明もしてくれて、先に入ってくれたので、私も続いてドボンと飛び込む事が出来ました。飛び込んでしまえば、怖い事はなく、すぐに浮きにつかまることが出来ました。

マンタは結局、5枚も来てくれて圧巻でした。
あんなに野生の生き物との距離が近くなるなんてなかなか無いと思います。

凄い体験でした。
これは皆さんに勧めたいアクティビティの一つだと思いました。
