It was amazing. The manta rays were so close that I could touch them while they were feeding. I was so excited that my adrenaline was pumping and I almost had trouble breathing.

凄いです。マンタさんが触れるぐらい近くで捕食に夢中。アドレナリン出まくりで呼吸困難になるぐらい興奮しました。

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

First mountain summit sunset 初めての山頂サンセット

Reviewed by: Hisako Tanaka

The view from the ground was a breathtaking sight unlike anything I had ever seen before. The sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea was like something you would see from an airplane, with the sun sinking into a sea of clouds. It was grand and stunningly beautiful!

At 4,200 meters, the summit is higher than Mount Fuji, and I was very worried about altitude sickness. However, the tour operator's careful consideration ensured that I was safe. I could feel my body acclimating during a dinner break at the Onizuka Visitor Center, which is at an elevation of 2,800 meters. We were well-prepared for the cold. Everyone borrowed orange ski wear, and it made for quite a striking photo. Regular visitors can only drive to the Onizuka Center, and it seems that only a few tour companies can take you to the summit from there.

After the sunset, it was finally time for stargazing! With high expectations, we descended 200 meters and looked up at the night sky from a 4,000-meter point... but the moonlight was a bit of a hindrance, and I thought, "Is this it?" The moon was quite bright, being slightly fuller than a first quarter moon.

Even so, the sky was filled with countless stars, with Venus, Saturn, Mars, and Polaris shining brightly, and we could see the Milky Way. The constellation explanations were quite detailed, making it clear why this is a nature school, and it was genuinely interesting. I was told that if I wanted to see only the stars in complete darkness, I should come back on a new moon day, and I understood why many people return for a "revenge" trip.

What was wonderful about Masashi Nature School was their concern for the participants' health, the delicious bento and miso soup, the thoughtful service of warm coffee, tea, and cookies during our cold and tiring breaks, and their photography skills, along with the service of allowing us to download the photos later... perhaps I'm praising them too much?

In any case, it was a thoroughly satisfying tour!

地上からは今までに見た事のない絶景でした。マウナケアの山頂からのサンセットは飛行機から見る様なもので、雲海に日が沈んでいくのです。壮大で息をのむような美しさでした！
4200mの山頂は富士山よりも高く私は高山病がとても心配でした。でも、催行者さんのしっかりとした配慮があり無事でした。標高2800mのオニズカビジターセンターで夕食を兼ねた休息で体が慣れていくのがわかりました。寒さ対策も万全でした。全員オレンジ色のスキーウェアを借りて写真を撮るとちょっと迫力がありました。一般の人がレンタカーで行けるのはこのオニズカセンター迄でここから先の山頂迄は数社のツアー会社しか行けないそうです。
サンセットの後はいよいよ満天の星空観測！と、期待満々で200m下山、4000mのポイントで夜空を見
上げてみると‥‥月明かりが邪魔をしてえっ？こんなモノ？くらいの星だったのです。この日は上弦の月よりも少し膨らんだ月で相当明るい月明かりでした。
それでも空には数えきれない星で金星、土星、火星、北極星は凄く明るく光っていて、天の川も見えました。星座はかなり詳しい解説でネイチャースクールの所以はこれかと言う程本格的で面白かったですね。真っ暗闇で星だけを見たかったら新月の日にリベンジして下さいと言われ納得しました。現にリベンジのリピーターは多いそうです。
マサシネイチャースクールさんの素晴らしかった所は、先ず参加者の体調を気にかけてくれた点、お弁当やお味噌汁がかなり美味しかった点、寒くて疲れた休息に温かいコーヒーや紅茶、クッキーを出してくれる心憎いサービス、そして写真を撮る技術、後で写真をダウンロードさせて貰えるサービス‥‥などなど褒めすぎかな?

とにかく大満足のツアーでした！

I was thrilled with the big win! 大当たりで大感激

Reviewed by: AKIRA5050

On our second visit to the Big Island on October 17, we decided to challenge ourselves with manta watching. We were a bit anxious at the start since our beautiful driver couldn't speak Japanese, but it turned out to be lucky as we were the only two Japanese participants on the tour, allowing us to have the shuttle and our guide, Tori, all to ourselves. The boat ride to our destination off the coast of Kona was thrilling, comparable to a ride at an amusement park, and we all cheered while enjoying the fun journey, plus we got to admire a beautiful sunset. On the way back, we also enjoyed a starry sky, so we never had a dull moment during the trip. During the main event, it was an incredible day as manta rays continuously swirled beneath me with their mouths wide open, making me gasp in awe. I was amazed by how many times the mantas brushed against the bar I was holding onto, yet I felt no fear at all. I think this might be my last chance to visit the Big Island, but I had a truly moving experience and created wonderful memories. Thank you to all the staff.

10/17　2度目のビッグアイランド訪問でやり残していたマンタウォッチに夫婦でチャレンジしました。迎えの美人ドライバーが日本語しゃべれないのでちょっと不安なスタートでしたが、当日のツアーは日本人の参加者が私たち二人だけでしたので送迎車も日本人ガイドのトリさんも独占状態でラッキーでした。コナ空港沖の目的地までのボート移動もライド系アトラクション並の衝撃とスリルでみんなで歓声を上げながら楽しい移動を体験でき、おまけに綺麗な夕日が鑑賞できました。帰路も満天の星空鑑賞付でしたので移動も暇をもてあそぶことはありませんでした。本番も、大当たりの日で私の下をひっきりなしにマンタが大きな口を開けて旋回し続け、声にならないうめき声をあげつつけていました。つかまっているバーの手に何度もマンタが触れてくるという接近戦に感動しつつも恐怖心は全くありませんでした。ビッグアイランドに来れるのも最後かと思いますが最後に感動的な経験をできいい思い出ができました。スタッフのみなさんありがとう。

Reviewed by: Yuki:

We used this service for our honeymoon (﹡ˆˆ﹡). First of all, as others have mentioned, I had trouble finding the meeting point; I'm glad I planned to arrive a bit early. Once we arrived, we changed into half-pants wetsuits and boarded the boat for departure! The boat ride was thrilling, comparable to a roller coaster, and the 15 minutes until we reached the snorkeling area were a blast! (It might have helped that I took motion sickness medication beforehand...)

On the boat, our cute guide "Ali-chan," who spoke Japanese well, explained interesting facts about manta rays! This made me even more excited about seeing them!

Once the sun set, we began snorkeling. We all held onto a board with a rope while snorkeling. My husband can't swim, but he had no problems snorkeling at all!! (He was very happy about this ^^)

As for the mantas, we saw them five times that day☆ I was really happy to see them five times, but according to Ali-chan, that was fewer than usual... After swimming, we returned to the harbor while sipping warm cocoa. The starry sky was beautiful!!!

If I have the chance to go to the Big Island again, I would love to participate again!!

新婚旅行で利用させていただきました(﹡ˆˆ﹡)
まず、ほかの方が書いているように集合場所が見つけられず迷ってしまいました;;少し早めに着くつもりで行動しておいてよかったなと思いました。
着いたら、半ズボンタイプのウェットスーツに着替えて、ボートに乗って出発です！このボートが、ジェットコースター並にスリリングで、シュノーケリングエリアに着くまでの15分ぐらい終始楽しかったです！(事前に酔い止めを飲んでいたからよかったのかもしれませんが･･･)
船の上では、可愛くて日本語も上手なガイドの「アリちゃん」が、マンタに関する知識を解説してくれました！これで、余計にマンタに対する楽しみな気持ちが高まりました！
日が沈んだら、シュノーケリングの開始です。
みんなでロープのついたボードにつかまってシュノーケリングをします。ですので、私の旦那は泳げませんが、何の問題もなくシュノーケリングできました！！(本人はこれにとても喜んでました^^)
そして肝心のマンタですが、この日は5回マンタが見れました☆私としては、5回も見れてとても嬉しかったですが、アリちゃんによるといつもよりも少ないそうです･･･
泳ぎ終わったら、あったかいココアを飲みながら帰港しました。星空がとても綺麗でした！！！
また、ハワイ島に行くことがあれば、参加したいです！！

I saw a manta ray! ♪ マンタ見れた♪

Reviewed by: hiroとmiki

I heard that the meeting place was difficult to find, but a very kind taxi driver helped us and we arrived safely.

The sunset we saw while bouncing on the boat to the manta ray viewing point was incredibly beautiful. However, it was bouncing so much that it was hard to take pictures (laughs).

As soon as I jumped into the sea, a manta ray came right to us. Two manta rays seemed to be playing with us, gracefully approaching and flipping over. They were so close that I felt like I could touch them (but you shouldn't touch them). I kept shouting, "Wow, so cute!" for a long time. They stayed close for quite a while, so I was able to see their faces, mouths, bellies (undersides), and tails clearly. I was a bit worried they might be scary, but the manta rays were adorable, beautiful, elegant, and cute. I was very satisfied.

As a second-time snorkeler, I ended up feeling seasick afterward and had to return to the boat a little earlier than everyone else. Maybe it was the garlic shrimp I ate for lunch that didn't sit well... (laughs). I'm sorry to the Japanese guide, Tori-chan, for the trouble.

On the other hand, my friend who went with me was super energetic and took tons of pictures.

On the way back, the left side of the boat had a sparkling night view, while the right side was filled with stars. It was fulfilling until the very end. I had a great time and highly recommend it.

*The photo is of a manta ray taken by my friend. It's a girl, apparently.

集合場所がむずかしいとの事でしたが、とても親切なタクシードライバーさんが
探してくださって無事到着。

マンタが見れるポイントまでのピョンピョン跳ねるボートの上で見たサンセット、とても美しかったです。でも跳ね過ぎて写真を撮るのはたいへん(笑)

海にドボンと飛び込んだらすぐマンタが来てくれました。
2匹のマンタがまるで私たちと遊んでいるかのようにひらりくるりと近づいたり裏返ったり。
近すぎてさわっちゃいそう～（さわっちゃダメです）
「うわ～かわいぃ～かわいぃ～」とずーっと叫んでました。
結構長く近くにいてくれたので顔や、口の中や、お腹（裏側）や、しっぽもしっかり見る事ができました。
ちょっとコワいのかなと心配していましたが、マンタは愛らしく、美しく、優雅でかわいかったです。大満足です。

シュノーケル２回目の私はその後波酔いしてしまい、みなさんよりほんの少しだけ早くボートに戻してもらいました。ランチでいっぱい食べたガーリックシュリンプがダメだったのか…(笑)
日本人ガイドのトリちゃんにはお世話になってしまいスミマセンでした。

一方、一緒に行った友人は超元気で写真を撮りまくってました。

Reviewed by: REO & ASUKA

I arrived on the Big Island and was a bit nervous about diving into the night sea while still suffering from jet lag, but the small boat ride to the manta spot felt like a roller coaster, which completely shook off my drowsiness! By the time we arrived, my fear had vanished, and the moment I entered the water, a fantastical world of fish and mantas spread out beneath me. I recommend putting your smartphone in a waterproof bag and hanging it around your neck to capture great videos even without a waterproof camera. The sunset on the way there and the starry sky on the way back were so beautiful that they were satisfying on their own! I felt reassured as Torichan was always checking on us. Thank you very much.

ハワイ島に到着し時差ボケのまま夜の海にダイブということで少しドキドキしていたのですが、マンタスポットに行くまでの小型船がジェットコースターのようで、眠気も吹っ飛びました！つく頃には恐怖心もなくなり、海に入った瞬間から下には魚とマンタの幻想的な世界が広がっています♪スマホを防水の袋に入れて首から下げて動画にすると防水カメラがなくてもバッチリ撮れるので準備をお勧めします。行きのサンセットも帰りのプラネタリウムのような星空もそれだけで満足するぐらいきれいです！ずっとトリちゃんが私たちの状態を気遣ってくださるので安心できました。ありがとうございました。

Mysterious and beautiful! But is there a bit of a problem? ミステリアス綺麗！ですがちょっと問題あり？

Reviewed by: トシュウ

The staff were really nice.
First, we rode on a boat that felt like a roller coaster and went to the sea in front of the Sheraton Hotel.
It was so much fun riding the fast boat while watching the sunset!
Once we reached the spot, we grabbed onto a surfboard with lights underneath and waited for the manta rays while looking at the fish below.
Seeing the manta rays in person was impressive—huge, close, and mysterious!

The sea temperature where we went is said to be the warmest throughout the year, so I didn't feel too cold at first.
However, snorkeling while staying still for a long time, even in such warm water, became quite chilly. Lying face down with my back and heels exposed made it very cold.

It felt like about 30 minutes?

Honestly, it felt long. After getting back on land, I was incredibly seasick and ended up vomiting into the sea, haha.
I've snorkeled many times before, but this was my first time feeling that way.
Another fish came by, which was fun to see, haha.

However, I noticed other tour guests were feeling the same way, so I thought some kind of motion sickness remedy might be necessary.

Staying still for such a long time while looking down at the fish became painful as time passed, especially with the cold.

I would appreciate it if there could be some time to lift our heads and move around, or take a break on the board to avoid staying still for too long.

We saw plenty of manta rays and fish, and the night sea was mysterious and very beautiful! The staff were also really great! I learned some fun facts about manta rays, which made me like them even more.

I think it would be an outstanding tour if there were just some measures for motion sickness!

スタッフの方がすごく良い方でした。
まず、ジェットコースターのようなボートに乗って、シェラトンホテルの前の海に行きます。
夕日を見ながら、勢いの良いボートに乗るのはとっても楽しかったです！！
ポイントについたら、下にライトのついたサーフボートに捕まってうつ伏せのような形で下の魚を見ながらマンタを待ちます。
マンタは実際見てみると、でかい！近い！ミステリアス！迫力ありました。

私たちが行った海の気温は年間通して一番暖かいと言われていて、最初はそこまで寒さを感じませんでした。
ただ、ずっと動かないで待機した状態でのシュノーケルは、そんな暖かい海でもさすがにかなり冷えてきます。うつ伏せになっていて、背中やかかとは出ている状態なので、とても寒い。

体感時間30分くらい？

正直、長い。と思いました。
陸に上がった後、尋常じゃないくらいに酔って、海に向かって思いっきり嘔吐　笑
シュノーケルは何度もやったことありますが、初めて。
また別の魚が寄ってきて観れたので、それはそれで楽しかったです　笑

ただ、他のツアーのお客様もそのようになっていたので、少し酔い対策見たいなものは必要かな？と思いました。

じっとしているのがとにかく長く、魚を下を向いて見ているのが時間が経つごとに寒さとともに苦痛になってくる。

なので、顔を上げて動く時間や、一回休憩を挟んでボードで休むなど、じっとしたままじゃな時間を作ってほしいです。

マンタも魚もたくさん見れて、夜の海はミステリアスでとても綺麗！スタッフさんもとっても良い！マンタのプチ知識なども知れて、マンタがより好きになりました☆

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。

マンタ大学夜学部　野生のマンタ＆ナイトシュノーケリングツアー ＜送迎可／日本語スタッフ乗船日あり＞

The meeting place is quite difficult to find. 集合場所が難易度高し

Reviewed by: maya

I recently participated in an event. On the day of the event, the departure was delayed due to the ship we were boarding, but we were taken to a spot nearby where we could see sea turtles. I was very happy to see the turtles up close. Of course, we also encountered manta rays!

As mentioned in other comments, please be aware that the meeting point is quite difficult to find. I have attached a photo of the location, but here are the key points a to c:
a. There are no stores or signs at the location.
b. There is a large parking area on the north side of the bay, so please park your car there. The restroom in the middle of the parking area should serve as a landmark.
c. In one corner of that parking lot, there is a waiting area with a yellow wall and a blue roof, which is the meeting point. The yellow and blue should help you identify it.

I have three pieces of advice for preparation based on our reflections:
1. I recommend taking motion sickness medication before participating. Even if you don't get seasick, you might feel queasy from the ocean waves!
2. The return boat ride can be cold since you will be wet from the sea. Bringing a thick and large towel, like a hotel bath towel, is recommended for warmth!
3. It's best to use a bag that is either covered in plastic or waterproof. While on the boat to the location, the ocean spray can get you and your belongings wet!

先日参加してまいりました。
当日は乗船する船の影響で出港が遅れたのですが、近くに海亀が見れるスポットがあるという事で連れて行ってもらいました。間近に亀が見れてとても嬉しかったです。もちろんマンタにも会えました♪
他の方のコメントにもありますが集合場所がとてもわかりにくいため、注意してください。現地の写真を添付しましたが、次のa〜cがポイントです。
a.現地に店舗や看板はありません。
b.湾の北側に大きな駐車スペースがあるので、そこに車を止めましょう。駐車スペースの真ん中にトイレがあるのが目印となると思います。
c.その駐車場の隅の一画に黄色の壁で青色の屋根の待機スペースがあり、そこが集合場所となっています。黄色と青色が目印になるはずです。
事前準備としてのアドバイスが3点あります。我々の反省点を踏まえて1〜3に記載しますので参考になさってください。
1.酔い止めを飲んで参加することをお勧めします。船に酔わなくても海の波に酔ってしまうこともありますので要注意です！
2.帰りの船は海に濡れたまま走行するので寒いです。ホテルのバスタオル位分厚くて大きなのを持っていくと防寒になりますのでオススメです！
3.船に持込む袋はビニールをかぶせるか防水の効いた物が良いと思います。現地に行くまでの船上、海の波しぶきが飛んでくるので、荷物も含めて全身濡れてしまいますので！

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＞

Wild Dolphin Tour 野生のイルカツアー

Reviewed by: ななやん

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。
