Kona Sunset & Moonlight Wild Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Wahine Charters

Fantastic trip and first trip to the Big Island

Reviewed by: Southern USA family

We took our 9 year old son on this and had a great time. Wahine Charters and staff were great. Smaller group (12 total) made the experience that much better. Highly recommended. Really an experience unlike any other.

野生のマンタ　シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞

I was able to see a manta ray up close! マンタを間近で見られた！

Reviewed by: しゅがー

I read the reviews here and made a reservation.

I stayed at the Sheraton Hotel. Around noon, I stopped by a shopping center just a 5-minute drive away and checked in at the store. When I arrived at the designated location at 5:45 PM, I was explained in English that I should ask about the car that was parked there. Honestly, I didn't understand what they were saying, but I somehow got the gist through gestures.

When I arrived at the designated spot around 5:30 PM with the rental car, the same car was parked there, and they were handing out wetsuits in the parking lot. You try it on right away, and if it doesn’t fit, you can exchange it. So, you need to wear your swimsuit before going. The parking lot at the harbor is small, so we barely managed to park, but those who couldn't park had to leave their cars at the edge of the road.

I was told to put on the wetsuit and wait on the boat. On the boat, you can have snacks and fruits, but honestly, while waiting for the sun to set, I felt seasick from the waves and couldn't enjoy it. They also serve cold juice if you ask. There was a restroom on the boat. I was told that warm drinks would be served last because it gets cold after you warm up and then enter the water.

To enter the water, I was instructed to hook a noodle (a float) around my ankle and enter horizontally. I only understood a little English, but by watching gestures and other guests, I managed to figure it out. We were the only Japanese people there.

When we finally turned on the lights and entered the sea, a manta ray swam right past me the moment I got in. You’re not supposed to touch the manta rays, but they were gracefully swimming close by, feeding on the surface. I was truly amazed to see them up close. In total, about five manta rays swam nearby. While I was watching one manta ray on my right, I almost collided with another one that approached from the left without me noticing. Watching the manta rays swim elegantly in front of me made me forget about my seasickness.

I was in the water for about 45 minutes, and I only missed seeing manta rays for about 5 minutes. However, it was late March, and it was incredibly cold; my hands were numb during the last 10 minutes. Just floating in the water made the cold and seasickness tough to handle. I was wearing a wetsuit over my rash guard and swimsuit leggings, so I only felt cold towards the end, but my husband was just in a swimsuit and a short-sleeved wetsuit, and he seemed to be shivering uncontrollably after just 10 minutes.

When the time was up, we got back on the boat and had some snacks and warm drinks. They served cocoa, but since I was feeling very seasick, I opted for warm green tea. Once I dried off on the boat, I felt much warmer and better. We returned the snorkels and wetsuits on the boat, and when we arrived at the harbor, we just dispersed.

I think if you come to the Big Island, you absolutely should go on this tour. I believe it’s fine even if you don’t speak English, but for those who are anxious, a Japanese tour might be more reassuring. We thought since we came all the way to Hawaii, we should sign up for this tour, and I’m glad we did.

As advice, it would be great to have a waterproof camera and an underwater flashlight.

ここで口コミを見て、予約しました。

シェラトンホテルに泊まっていました。そこから車で5分のショッピングセンターに寄ったお昼ごろに、お店に立ち寄りチェックインをしました。夕方5：45に指定の場所に来たら、この車が止まっているからたずねてね、というようなことを英語で説明されました。正直、何を話しているかわからなかったですが、何となく身振り手振りで伝わりました。

レンタカーで、指定の場所に5：30ごろに行くと、先ほどの車が止まっていて、ウェットスーツの貸し出しを駐車場で行っていました。すぐに着てみて、無理そうだったらサイズ交換といった感じですので、水着は着用してから行く必要があります。港の駐車場は狭いので、私たちはぎりぎり駐車できましたが、駐車できなかった人は、路上の端に駐車していました。

ウェットスーツを着て、船上で待つように言われました。船上では、スナック菓子やフルーツが食べられますが、正直、日が沈むまで待つ時間、波に揺られ酔ってしまい、それどころではありませんでした。つめたいジュースなども頼めば出してくれます。トイレも船の中にありました。
暖かい飲み物は、身体が温まってから水に入ると寒いから、最後に出されるといった説明がありました。
入り方は、ヌードルと言われるウキを足首にひっかけて、身体を水平にして入るようにと言われました。何となくしか英語がわかりませんでしたが、身振り手振りや、他のお客さんを見ているとわかります。日本人は私たちだけでした。

いざ、ライトをつけて海に入りました。入った瞬間から、目の前をマンタが通り過ぎました。マンタにさわってはいけませんが、本当にすれすれのところをくるくるとまわって餌を食べていました。こんなに間近で見られるなんて、本当に感動しました。
結局5匹ほどのマンタが近くで泳いでいました。右で泳いでいるマンタを見ていると、左から迫ってきたマンタに気づかず、思わずぶつかりそうになりました。目の前で優雅に泳ぐマンタたちを見ていると、船酔いも忘れてしまいました。
４５分ほど入水していますが、マンタが見られなかった時間は5分ほどだけでした。ただ、3月下旬でしたが、ものすごく寒くて、最後の10分ほどは手がかじかんで、感覚がなくなっていました。
浮いているだけなので、寒さと船酔いはつらかったです。
ただ、私はラッシュガードと水着のレギンスの上からウェットスーツを着ていたからか、最後のほうだけ寒さがつらかったですが、旦那は水着にウェットスーツ(全て半そで半ズボン丈)だけだったので開始10分後から震えが止まらないようでした。

時間が来たので船に上がり、スナック菓子や暖かい飲み物をいただきました。ココアが配られましたが、私は船酔いがひどかったので暖かい緑茶をいただきました。船上で体を乾かすと、だいぶ温まり気分がよくなりました。船上でシュノーケルとウェットスーツを返し、港についたら、そのまま流れ解散です。

ハワイ島に来たら、絶対にこのツアーに行くべきだと思いました。英語ができなくても、問題ないと思いますが、不安な方は日本語のツアーの方が安心かなと思いました。わたしたちはせっかくハワイに来たのだから、と思いこのツアーに申し込みました。ここにしてよかったと思います。

アドバイスとしては、水の中でとれるカメラと水中の懐中電灯があるといいです。

ハワイ島 サーフィンレッスン　カハルウビーチパークで波乗り体験！マンツーマンのプライベートレッスンもあり＜英語インストラクター／現地集合＞

Perfect for first-time children. 初めての子供たちには最適

Reviewed by: けんけん

Since we were in Hawaii, I decided to let my middle school son and college daughter take their first surfing lesson. We went to the registration office, which was very close to our hotel, received some basic instructions, borrowed rash guards and sea socks, and then headed to the beach as directed. It was a group lesson, but there were no other participants besides my kids, so it turned into a private lesson. We spent about an hour in the water getting instruction, and the waves were just right for beginners. It was a perfect amount of time that left the kids feeling pleasantly tired, and we all enjoyed it just enough.

せっかくのハワイなので、中学生の息子と大学生の娘に初めてサーフィンレッスンを受けさせてみました。ホテルからすぐ近くの受付所に行き、簡単な指導を受け、ラッシュガードとシーソックスをかり、案内された通り自分で現地に向かいました。グループレッスンでしたが、自分の子供たち以外に参加者がおらず、実質のプライベートレッスンとなりました。海に出て１時間位指導してもらいましたが、初心者にちょうど良い波で、かつちょうど疲れるくらいで終了し、参加した子供たちも見ている我々も、ほどいい感じで楽しめました。

マウナケア山頂夕陽と星空観測ツアー ガイド撮影の一眼カメラ写真を無料ご提供！＜夕食付き／英語ガイド＞by マサシネイチャースクール

The summit of Mauna Kea was a special experience! マウナケア山頂は特別の体験でした！

Reviewed by: ローマ風呂

In late March, my family of four participated in the Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour. The 13-seater bus was fully booked with Japanese tourists. The ride to the Onizuka Visitor Center was smooth along the paved road. At the visitor center, we had a bento box and miso soup, put on our warm clothing, and then ascended the unpaved road all the way up to 4,200 meters. The summit was very cold, and the wind exceeded 20 meters per second. The landscape resembled Mars, providing an experience that you can't have in Japan. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't favorable, and we couldn't enjoy a clear starry sky, but our guide, Mr. Kono, searched various spots to show us the stars. We later revisited Mauna Kea State Park on another day with a rental car. That time, we were blessed with clear skies and were able to enjoy a number of stars that can't be seen in Japan. Thank you very much, Mr. Kono, for everything.

3月後半、家族4人でマウナケア山頂　サンセット＆星空ツアーに参加。13人乗りのバスは日本人で満席に。途中、オニズカビジターセンターまでは、舗装された道路で順調。ビジターセンターでお弁当に味噌汁、防寒着を着て、舗装されていない道路を登り、一路4200mまで。頂上はとても寒く、また風も風速20mを超える状況。また、風景も火星を思わせるような景観で日本では経験できない環境を体験することができました。あいにく天気には恵まれず、晴天の星空を楽しむことはできませんでしたが、何とか星空を見せようとガイドのコンノさんはいろんな場所を探してくれました。途中立ち寄っていただいたマウナケア州立公園には、別の日に自分たちでレンタカーで再訪。そのときは晴天に恵まれて、日本では見られない数の星を楽しむことができました。コンノさん、いろいろありがとうございました。

ハワイ島 パラセイリング ＜午前・午後／カイルアコナ発＞ by UFO Parasail

The height indication in the title is a lie. タイトルの高さ表記は嘘

Reviewed by: ＲＳ６

The height mentioned in the title is misleading; it refers to the length of the pulling rope. The actual height is at most 30 to 40 meters, so if you go expecting over 100 meters, you will likely be disappointed. I didn't feel the sense of speed I was anticipating; it felt more like being suspended in the air.

タイトルに記載されている高さは嘘で、引っ張るロープの長さのことでした。
高さはせいぜい30〜40ｍなので、100ｍ以上の高さを期待して行くとガッカリすると思う。

Reviewed by: ともこ

Mauna Kea was closed due to bad weather, so unfortunately, I couldn't reach the summit, but I was satisfied with the beautiful sunset along the beach and the starry sky afterward. At first, I considered joining a different English tour (which was cheaper), but I was glad to hear the explanations of the constellations in Japanese. Also, I was comforted by the miso soup that came with the bento (laughs). I saw a big rainbow after the rain, so overall, I was very satisfied. However, I still want to go up Mauna Kea, so I plan to go for a revenge trip during the dry season next time!

マウナケアは悪天候のため閉鎖されており、残念ながら頂上までは上がれませんでしたが、ビーチ沿いできれいな夕日、その後星空も見れたので、満足です。
最初は別の英語ツアーにしようかとも思っていたのですが（そっちのほうが安い）、星座の説明なんかは日本語で聞いてよかったです。
あとお弁当についていた味噌汁に癒されました（笑）。
雨上がりの大きな虹も見えましたし、総合的に大満足です。
でもやっぱりマウナケアには上りたいので、今度は乾季に、リベンジに行きたいと思います！

Deluxe Volcanoes National Park Experience, Black Sand Beach & Restaurant Dinner

Must do volcano tour

Reviewed by: Pete

On Friday March 16th, 2018 my family and I attended the Deluxe Volcano Night Lava Viewing with Dinner at Kilauea Lodge & Stargazing Tour that also included the coffee trip to the Kona Joe Coffee Farm, Punaluu Bakery and the Black sand beach. To start, I have to say our guide Uncle Jim made the trip well worth the time and money we invested. He was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and most of all both engaging and entertaining. From the history, folklore and ancient stories to the general knowledge of Hawaiian culture there was rarely a moment where we were not enjoying the tour. We started out from our resort and Jim began to answer our questions and tell us stories of the landscape (lava, terraforming and the effects of adding green spaces to the resorts on the climate) and a Captain Cook story. As we moved on and picked up the other guests the stories continued as he pointed out various points of interest and beaches we may want to visit on our own. Some great aspect to the tour were the mythical stories of the gods and goddesses and how they actually mirror what it believed to be the realities of the Hawaiian Islands today. Each of the stops we made were better than promised, lunch and dinner were both great and Uncle Jim having a telescope for the night time volcano viewing was great. Some of the highlights from our perspective were walking down a lava tube, walking through the steam vents, picturesque picnic lunch and the gathering of stones to gift to the volcano later in the day with a chant led by Uncle Jim. And I can’t forget the smell of the Huli Huli chicken BBQ that he teased us with that I never did actually get back to try, maybe on our next visit. I would recommend this as a must do tour on your trip to the big island and ask for Uncle Jim, he will make the tour that much better.

You can trust Daisuke and the captain to take care of it! だいすけさんとキャプテンに、任せて安心！

Reviewed by: も〜〜

Daisuke really loves dolphins, and that came across clearly. When I saw Daisuke swimming with the dolphins, he looked just like one of them (laughs). I have some snorkeling experience, but I was anxious in deep water where I couldn't touch the bottom. Daisuke was incredibly considerate, holding my hand at times and guiding me to the best positions. Thanks to him, I encountered many dolphins. When I was focused on looking ahead, he would quickly let me know if there were dolphins behind us, so I didn't miss anything! He was more persistent than other tour boats.

Even for someone like me who isn't great with speed, the veteran captain's driving was reassuring, and I didn't feel scared at all. I recommend this company's tour to those who might be a bit nervous.

だいすけさんは、本当にイルカが好きなんだなぁって、伝わって来ました。だいすけさんがイルカと泳いでいる姿は、イルカに見えましたもん（笑）シュノーケルの経験はありますが、足のつかないところは不安な私に気遣い120%で、所々手を引いてベストポジションに連れて行っていただきました。お陰様で、たくさんのイルカに遭遇出来ました。前ばかり向いていると後ろにいたりするのですが、後ろにいるよ〜〜とか、すかさず教えてくれるので、見逃しません！他ツアーの船よりも粘ってくれます。
スピードが苦手な私でも、ベテランキャプテンの運転は安心感があって、ちっとも怖くなかったです。ビビリの方にもこの会社のツアーをお勧めします。

Big Island Manta Ray Snorkel Cruise from Keauhou Bay - Sunset & Night Tours

Absolutely great choice

Reviewed by: David

This was better than I could imagine. After leaving the shore on a small boat (three crew and four passengers), we passed manta village and went south a bit more to see some historic land with wild goats on it and sat there while the sun set. We had a platter of sushi and grapes, which was delicious.

When the sun set, we went back up and joined the rest of the boats at manta village, and got into the water where we all held a surf board and had floaties under our stomachs. It was all very comfortable, besides the cold, which we had full or short sleeve wetsuits for. The surf board had a nice light on it which attracted plenty of plankton.

We saw two manta rays, Amanda, and I forget the name of the other one. Amanda actually brushed up against my wife twice! (Don't intentionally touch them as I've heard it's a $5000 fine).

After plenty of time in the water, and repeated visits by both manta rays, we headed back to the boat and had some ginger ale on the way back to the dock.

Overall wonderful experience!

Oh, if you're on your honeymoon, make sure your ring fits tightly enough not to fall off in the water! And insure it if it's valuable! Mine slipped off, but thankfully I didn't loose a bunch of money.

ハワイ島の海では浅瀬でも岩礁があり、美しくたくさんの魚が見られることが分かったので、次回は自然の海を堪能しようと思います。

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＞

I saw dolphins! イルカ見られました！

Reviewed by: sat

At first, I wasn't used to snorkeling or swimming, and I made a lot of splashing sounds, which limited my visibility, making it difficult to see the pod of dolphins swimming by. Once I got the hang of it, I was finally able to see the dolphins pass by, and it was an emotional experience. The key is to enter the water quietly, just float (don't swim), and look around curiously underwater.

最初はシュノーケリングや泳ぐことになれず、
バシャバシャと水音を立て、視野もせまく
泳いでやって来ているイルカの群れをなかなか見る事ができませんでした。
慣れてきたころ、ようやくイルカの群れが通り過ぎていくのを見ることができ、感動しました。
入水は静かに、浮かんでればよい（泳がない）、水中キョロキョロ見回すことがポイントです。

野生のイルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜朝食・昼食付き＞

You have plenty of time. Make sure to prepare well with motion sickness medication and measures against the cold. 時間たっぷりあります。酔い止め・寒さ対策など準備はしっかりと～

Reviewed by: たまこ

I stayed at the King Kamehameha Hotel right in front of Kailua Pier, so it was easy to walk there for the 7:30 AM meeting. Once on the boat, there was a buffet area with bread and fruit, and coffee and water were also available for free.

After about 40 to 50 minutes of traveling along the bay, they provided explanations about various buildings and scenery, all in English. I just enjoyed the atmosphere. The Kanoa II is a large catamaran, but the swaying in the open sea was quite significant. There were about 40 passengers, and it seemed that around 20% of them looked a bit green. I recommend taking motion sickness medication about an hour before boarding.

When we arrived at the snorkeling point, all passengers were gathered on the first floor for about 10 minutes of safety instructions, also in English. They mentioned that in case of an emergency, the horn would sound five times, so we should return to the boat immediately, not to stand on the coral, and not to stray too far from the boat. I think as long as you don't act too differently from those around you, you'll be fine. The snorkeling point is about 15 meters deep and incredibly clear and beautiful. There are quite a few fish, but the water is cold! They seem to rent out wetsuits for a fee, so if you're not confident, it might be a good idea to borrow one. I gave up after about 20 minutes of swimming due to the cold and the waves, and returned to the boat early. The boat stays here for about an hour, and it might be tough for those who are sensitive to motion.

For lunch, the staff grilled hamburgers and vegetables on the spot, and you can make your own cheeseburger at the buffet. It was quite delicious! If you're not feeling seasick, definitely give it a try (laughs).

On the way back, it takes about another hour to return to Kailua Pier.

The boat is large and has a flushing toilet, which someone mentioned is much cleaner than many public restrooms. There’s a bar area, and soft drinks seem to be free. The staff comes around to each table to ask if you need any drinks. Smoothies and cocktails appear to be for a fee.

Among the participants, we were the only Japanese, but the handsome and beautiful staff frequently checked on us, so we were able to relax without worry. The sea water is cold, but the wind on the way back is also quite chilly. If you're in a wet swimsuit, you're bound to catch a cold. I recommend bringing something to wear over it, like a windbreaker.

カイルア桟橋の目の前のキングカメハメハホテルに泊まっていたので、朝7時半の集合も何の苦もなく歩いて行けました。
船に乗り込むと、ビュッフェコーナーにパンとフルーツが置いてあり、コーヒーやお水も含め、取り放題です。
出発して40分～50分ほど、湾に沿って移動をし、その間いろんな建造物や風景の説明をしてくれるのですが、すべて英語です。雰囲気だけ楽しみました。
カノアII号は大きな双頭船ですが、外洋の揺れはかなり大きく、乗客は40名ほどいたでしょうか、そのうち2割ほどはグロッキーになっていたように見えました。乗船する1時間ほど前には酔い止めをしっかり飲んで参加されることをお勧めします。

シュノーケリングポイントに着くと、乗客全員が1階に集められ、注意事項の説明が10分ほどあります。これもすべて英語です。
緊急の時はホーンを5回鳴らすからすぐに船に戻ってね、サンゴの上には立たないでね、船からあまり離れないでね、後いろいろ言ってたと思うのですが、まぁ周りの人とあまり異なる行動をしなければOKかと思います。
シュノーケリングポイントは、深さ15メートルぐらいあるでしょうか。さすがに澄んでいてとてもキレイです。お魚もそこそこいます。ただ、水が冷たい！！
有料でウェットスーツも貸し出しているようなので、自信のない方は借りた方がいいかも。私も20分ほど泳いで寒さと波の高さにギブアップです。早々に船に引き上げました。
船はここで1時間ほど停泊しています。ずっと揺れてますのでつらい人にはつらいかも。

ランチはスタッフがその場で焼いてくれたハンバーグや野菜がビュッフェコーナーに並び、自分でチーズバーガーを作って食べます。かなり美味しかったですよ！酔ってなければぜひ召し上がってください（笑）。

そして帰りはまた小一時間ほどかけてカイルア桟橋に戻る感じです。

船は大きくてトイレも水洗、どなたかが書いていましたがそんじょそこらのトイレよりよっぽどキレイです。
バーコーナーがあって、ソフトドリンクは無料のようです。スタッフが各テーブルを回って飲み物いらないか？と聞きに来てくれます。スムージーやカクテルは有料のようです。

参加者のうち、日本人は私達だけでしたが、美男美女のスタッフがしょっちゅう様子を見に来てくれるので、気にせず過ごせました。
海の水も冷たいですが、行き帰りの風もかなり寒いです。濡れたままの水着だと漏れなく風邪をひきそうです。ウィンドブレーカーなど、上に羽織るものを持参される事をお勧めします。

マウナケア山頂夕陽と星空観測ツアー ガイド撮影の一眼カメラ写真を無料ご提供！＜夕食付き／英語ガイド＞by マサシネイチャースクール

I was able to see a beautiful sunset and a starry sky perfectly. キレイな夕日と星空ばっちり見えました

Reviewed by: YUU

It seems that the weather wasn't very good the day before, but on the day I participated, the guide mentioned that we were able to see a beautiful sunset and starry sky for the first time in a while. The scenery was truly stunning. At the summit of Mauna Kea, the wind was very strong, and I felt that the perceived temperature was quite low, but since they lent us warm clothing (with ski pants!), I didn't feel too cold (although my friend who was with me seemed to be quite cold). The guide's stories in the car were also enjoyable, and I made great memories.

前日まではあまりお天気が良くなかったようでしたが、参加した日は久しぶりにきれいな夕日と星空を見ることができたと、ガイドの方がおっしゃっていました。本当にきれいな景色でした。マウナケアの山頂は、とても風が強くて、体感温度がだいぶ低かったように思いますが、防寒着（スキーズボン付き！）を貸していただけたので、それほど寒さも感じませんでした（同行の友人はかなり寒かったようですが）。
車内でのガイドさんのお話も楽しくて、よい思い出ができました。
