Reviewed by: 匿名で

"I was told during the trip that 'the waves were strong, and it might actually be canceled,' and I was wondering what would happen... but it turned out to be an even more enjoyable swimming experience than I imagined. Many dolphins stayed around us, and during the first session, we played together for over an hour after jumping in. It was so much fun that I couldn't even find the right moment to get back on the boat, and the captain had to call us for a break... But we jumped back in right away. Since the dolphins didn't leave, we were able to swim freely as well. There’s no other sea where you can swim with wild dolphins like this. I definitely want to participate again. Thank you for the wonderful experience!"

「うねりがあって、本当は中止になるかもしれませんでした」と移動中聞かされ、
どうなることやら・・と思っていましたが想像以上の楽しいスイミングになりました。
多くのイルカが私たちの周りから去ることはなく、一回目は飛び込んでから一時間以上一緒に
遊んでくれたのです。あまりにも楽しくて、ボートに上がるタイミングもつかめず、
キャプテンが呼んでやっと休憩・・
でも、またすぐに飛び込みました。イルカたちが離れなかってため、自由に私たちも
泳がせていただきました。野生のイルカとこんなに泳げる海はありませんね。
また、是非参加したいと思います。感動をありがとうございました！

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

a very enjoyable evening.

Reviewed by: Lorraine

We did this cruise last week and our boat took us all down the coast past the Cook Monument where we were able to take photos. An interesting commentary accompanied the trip and a pod of dolphins played around us. Magical! And the sunset was spectacular.
The only thing that prevented me from giving this excursion 5 stars was that the buffet ran out of food before we were all served. It didn't bother us too much and the crew was very apologetic and gave us extra drink tickets but I think some people were quite upset.
Overall we loved it .

Reviewed by: tofu

I participated in an optional tour for my honeymoon. The guide and most of the participants were foreigners, and all explanations were in English. There was a Japanese version of the initial instructions. I think it's a good idea to use the restroom before boarding the boat (there is one on the boat, but I was worried about the lock). I wore my swimsuit under my clothes from the start. It might be better not to bring too many valuables... I might have had some, but I couldn't find them. You can leave your belongings on the boat!

From the meeting point to the boat, it takes about 30 minutes to reach the Captain Cook Monument. On the boat, they serve fruits, hamburgers, snacks, and drinks, all you can eat and drink at your leisure! I guess breakfast and lunch are combined? You will get full. When we arrive at the snorkeling spot, there is a brief explanation, and then everyone can freely dive into the sea (directly from the boat). You can borrow a full set of snorkeling gear and a float, and there was also something like a bodyboard for kids to see underwater. It's quite deep, so of course, your feet won't touch the bottom, but it's just beautiful! There are lots of corals and fish, and it was very moving. If it gets cold, you can return to the boat to drink warm coffee, sunbathe on the boat, take a little break, and then dive again... You can stay at the spot for about an hour and a half, so you can take your time ( ˘ω˘ ). The boat has a diving board and a slide, so I never got bored. I didn't get bored just diving either, haha.

The guides were all very friendly, and I was able to talk a lot even with my broken English!

It's an experience that you can only understand by going and experiencing it. If you're going to snorkel in Hawaii, I definitely think this tour is the best! I would absolutely want to participate again (^^).

新婚旅行のオプショナルツアーで参加しました。
ガイドさん、参加者、ほぼ外国の方で説明はすべて英語です。最初にもらった注意書きは日本語版がありました。トイレを済ませて船に乗るといいと思います。(船の中にもあるけど、鍵が不安)
水着は最初から洋服の下に着て行きました。
貴重品はあまり持たない方がいいかも…あったのかもしれませんが、探せませんでした。船の上では荷物置きっぱなしです！

集合場所から船に乗り、キャプテンクック記念碑まで30分程度です。
船の中でフルーツ、ハンバーガー、お菓子、飲み物が出て、全て好きな時間に食べ飲み放題！朝食と昼食が一緒なのかな？お腹いっぱいになります。
シュノーケルスポットに着くと、少し説明があってそれぞれ自由に海に潜れます。(船から直接)
シュノーケル道具一式と浮輪も借りれるし、子供には海の中が見えるようになってるボディボードみたいな物もありました。
かなり深いのでもちろん足は届きませんが、とにかく綺麗です！サンゴも魚もたくさんいてとても感動しました。
寒くなったら船に戻って暖かいコーヒーを飲んだり、船の上で日向ぼっこしたり少し休憩してまた潜ったり…スポットに滞在するのは1時間半くらいなのでかなりゆっくりできます( ˘ω˘ )
船には飛込み台と滑り台があるので全然飽きませんでした。私は潜ってるだけでも飽きませんでしたが笑
ガイドの方達はとても気さくな方達ばかりで、片言英語でもたくさん話す事が出来ました！

行って体験しないと分からない感動です。
ハワイでシュノーケルするなら絶対このツアーがいいと思います！また絶対参加したいツアーです(^^)

The best memories. 最高の思い出

Reviewed by: maki

I participated with my 6-year-old son. Led by Daisuke, who loves dolphins, we jumped into the water to see where the dolphins were swimming. When we looked into the surface, we were able to see a pod of wild dolphins swimming by. Another female staff member stayed with my son, and it seemed like he was able to see them well.

At first, I was nervous and my body was tense, and I was also worried about my son, so the dolphins swam by in no time. However, as I gradually got used to it, I was able to relax and enjoy the experience. Daisuke initially told me, "Please enjoy yourself, Mom," which helped ease my worries about seasickness and whether I could snorkel in the ocean for the first time. I was able to trust them completely.

On the way back to the port, we even saw two whales, which was so moving! It became a precious experience for both my son and me. Thank you very much!

6歳の息子と参加しました。
イルカが好きすぎるというだいすけさん主導で、イルカの泳いでくるポイントへ飛び込み、水面をのぞくと、泳いでくる野生のイルカの群れを見られました。息子には、もう一人の女性スタッフが、ついていてくださり、息子もちゃんと見られたようでした。
はじめは、ドキドキして身体も硬く、息子のことも気になり、あっという間にイルカちゃんは泳いで行ってしまいましたが、だんだんと慣れてきたら、ゆったりと落ち着いてみることができました☆
だいすけさんが、はじめに「お母さんが楽しんでください」と言って下さり、船酔い等の体調面、海での初のシュノーケルができるのかなど不安もありましたが、安心してお任せすることができました。
そして港へかえる途中には、なんとくじらを2頭も見ることがで、感動！！
私にとっても息子にとっても貴重な体験になりました。
本当にありがとうございました♪

Reviewed by: うっきー

When driving, the store and parking lot are located far apart, so it's necessary to check the store's location on the map before parking. I think it's better for those coming by rental car to allow extra time. The reception started at 1 PM, but we arrived early and waited for our departure time while having lunch at a table in front of the store.

Since we were departing in the afternoon, I thought the wind and waves might be stronger in December, so I took motion sickness medication. The boat ride took about 45 minutes and was a bit bumpy, but since it was a large boat, I don't think it was too bad. On the way back, it gets cold because you're wet, so I think it's better to have a jacket in addition to a towel.

On the way there, drinks (water, juice) and snacks like rice crackers, as well as drinks, potato chips, and fruit, are available as self-service. The restrooms are spacious, clean, and separated by gender.

All snorkeling equipment is provided, and safety precautions and instructions on how to use the snorkeling gear are explained in English. I can hardly speak English, but I managed. The snorkeling spot had cold water, but there were no waves, and there were plenty of fish, which was fantastic.

By chance, we were able to see dolphins and whales on the way back, making it even more memorable. I would like to participate in the morning next time.

車で行くと店舗と駐車場が離れた場所にあるので、地図の場所の店舗で確認してから止めに行く必要があります。レンタカーでこられる方は余裕をもってこられた方がいいと思います。13時から受付でしたが私たちは早めにいって、お店の前のテーブルでランチしながら出発時間を待ちました。
午後出発なので12月だと風や波が強くなるのかと思って、酔い止めを飲みました。船で移動する時間が45分くらいかかり多少揺れましたが、大きな船なのでそれほどひどくなかったと思います。帰りは濡れているので寒くなりますから、タオルだけでなく、上着があった方がよいと思います。
行きは飲み物（水、ジュース）とおかき、飲み物とポテトチップと果物がセルフサービスで出ます。トイレは男女別て広くてきれいです。
シュノーケル用具はすべて貸してくれるし、安全上の注意やシュノーケル用具の使い方も英語ですが説明もしてくれます。私はほぼ英語ができませんが、なんとかなりました。シュノーケル場所は水が冷たかったですが、波もなく、魚もたくさんいて最高でした。
偶然ですが、帰りにイルカやクジラを見ることができて、さらに思い出深いものになりました。今度は午前中に参加してみたいと思いました。

Thank you, Aloha Kona Tours, for the best memories! 最高の思い出 アロハコナツアーズに感謝！

Reviewed by: こうが

Today, I participated in a dolphin tour. I believe there are many companies offering dolphin tours on the Big Island, but I heard that Mr. Nata was the first to start a dolphin tour there. Mr. Nata, Mr. Daisuke, and Ms. Chiho from Aloha Kona Tours provided an absolutely wonderful experience. For example, it seems that with other companies, you only get about three chances to go into the water, but the team at Aloha Kona Tours has a strong enthusiasm to show you the dolphins! They quickly spotted a pod of dolphins with the naked eye, got us into the water swiftly, and today we were able to enter the ocean five times. Each time, the dolphins came very close, and there were so many of them; it was an indescribable experience. My 6-year-old daughter was well taken care of, allowing us parents to focus on watching. It was so amazing that I understand why some people become repeat customers. Today, I was lucky to be with veteran guests, and after it was over, I really understood the desire to return. I am already eager to come back, and I plan to bring my friends' families with me next year. Next time, I would like to request not only dolphins but also manta rays and Mauna Kea with Aloha Kona Tours. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

本日イルカのツアーに参加しました。ハワイ島でイルカのツアーは何社もあると思いますが、縄田さんがハワイ島ではじめてイルカのツアーを始めたそうです。アロハコナツアーズの縄田さん、ダイスケさん、ちほさんは本当に素晴らしい体験をさせてくれました。例えば他社では3本位しか海におりるチャンスはないようですが、アロハコナツアーズの皆さんは見せたい！という熱意がとても強く、肉眼で素早くイルカの群を見つけ、素早く海に降り、今日は5回も海に入れてくれました。どの回もすごく近くにイルカが来て、群の数もとても多く、言葉にならない体験をしました。6歳の娘にもバッチリ付き添ってもらっていたので、私達親は自分が見ることに集中できました。本当にすばらしいのでリピーターになってしまう方もいるそうで、本日は運良くベテランのお客様とご一緒させて頂きました。終わった後、リピートしてしまう気持ちがよくわかりました。私も既にリピートする気まんまんなので、来年は友達家族も連れてまた来たいと思っています。次回はイルカだけでなく、マンタとマウナケアもアロハコナツアーズでお願いしたいです。良い思い出をありがとうございました！

An emotional experience!!!! 感動体験!!!!

Reviewed by: Ocutie

Daisuke, who jokingly said, "I'm a dolphin otaku, so I know everything about dolphins!" was indeed telling the truth! We encountered a pod right after we set sail. He seemed to really understand the dolphins, pointing out where they were and when they would jump. It felt like a dream to swim with countless dolphins. In the end, we had such a fulfilling experience that we reluctantly had to wrap it up due to time constraints. Since they are wild dolphins, it might have been lucky to see so many, but I believe Daisuke's guiding skills played a significant role as well! Thank you very much.

「僕はイルカオタクだから~。イルカちゃんのことは何でもわかるよー♪」と冗談気に話していたダイスケさん。本当でした! 出港してからすぐに群れに遭遇。あそこにいるから、ここでジャンプするから、などなど、イルカの声を聞いては、本当に理解していた様でビックリ。数え切れないほどのイルカちゃん達と泳げて、何だか夢の中にいた様な…。最後は時間切れで渋々切り上げるほどの充実ぶりでした。野生のイルカなので、沢山会えるのはラッキーだったのかもしれませんが、ダイスケさんのガイド力も大きかったと思います! ありがとうございました。

I made eye contact with a dolphin. It was thrilling! イルカと目があいました　ドキドキです。　

Reviewed by: KAJIKAJI

As soon as we set off, we met a turtle, and within ten minutes, we dove at a point filled with dolphins both to the side and directly below us, which was quite an adrenaline rush. When I turned to the side, a mother and baby dolphin swam by slowly, as if saying, "Hello." Our guide, Dai-chan, advised us in the car that it’s good to be aware with our "third eye," which made the experience feel quite mystical with the dolphins. I would love to experience this again in Kona.

出発して、すぐに亀さんに会い、１０分もしないうちにポイントでダイブ、横も、真下もいるかだらけで、かなりアドレナリンでました。ふと横を向いたら、親子のイルカさんが、「こんにちは」と言ってくれてるような視線でゆっくりと泳いでいきました。ガイドのダイちゃんが、第三の目で意識するといいですよと、迎えの車のなかでアドバイスをくれたので、なんだか、不思議な気分をイルカさんと過ごした感じです。また、コナで体験したいです。

There were so many dolphins that I didn't know where to look; it was really busy (laughs). I was so moved by the number of dolphins, even more than I expected.

After the tour, we were given information about a beach where we could see sea turtles, and we were able to meet them safely, making up for last year's experience. Thank you very much!

We participated as a group of three, and all three of us said we want to join again. It was a very satisfying tour, and I'm really glad we participated. Thank you for your great support, Mr. Nawata and Mr. Daisuke. Thank you!

The encounter with the dolphin I had been dreaming of. And... 夢に見ていたイルカちゃんとの出会い。そして・・・

Reviewed by: ｈ＆ｍ

Since I was a child, I dreamed of swimming with wild dolphins, and that dream came true on the Big Island of Hawaii!!!!

When Daisuke said, "I think you'll meet them soon today," I was so excited that I felt like jumping up right there. Since they are wild dolphins, I knew that whether I would actually see them was uncertain, but still, I was filled with the desire to meet them.

It had been a long time since I last snorkeled, and I was a bit anxious about whether I could breathe properly underwater. When I first entered the sea, I felt a bit flustered, but once I felt the reassurance of Daisuke being right beside me and providing solid support, all my fear and anxiety quickly disappeared.

And soon after we got into the water, we encountered dolphins!!! I was so excited to see the dolphins swimming slowly. I couldn't help but tense up. However, Daisuke told me that the most important thing was to completely relax, so from the second half of our time, I swam with the dolphins multiple times, feeling relaxed and at ease.

Of course, since they are wild dolphins, their swimming speed varies at different times. But I think that’s part of the fun of being with wild dolphins.

Anyway, the dolphins are just too cute. I could even hear the sound of dolphins "quee-quee" underwater. It was so moving!!!!

Above all, I was amazed by Daisuke's incredible ability to love and understand dolphins, catching their presence even when they were out of sight. When he said, "Get ready to enter the water," we were able to encounter dolphins just as he said. It felt like magic.

It seemed like Daisuke could really communicate with the dolphins, as they always came close to him and danced together. I realized that love truly gets conveyed. The dolphins looked like they were having fun swimming with Daisuke, and of course, he radiated happiness. And we participants felt it too. It was a space filled with love and happiness. I felt the healing power of the dolphins deeply, and Daisuke's aura naturally energized me. When we got out of the water, I felt warm-hearted thanks to the captain's kindness in helping us up from the boat. It was a tour filled with laughter and excitement.

In the end, we encountered a scene where the captain quickly spotted a boat that had engine trouble and called out to help with the rescue. Daisuke's words, "It's normal to help each other in times of trouble," reminded me of something so obvious yet so important. I am filled with gratitude that we were able to meet so many dolphins thanks to guides like Daisuke and the captain.

I want to refer to the method Daisuke taught me for surely realizing dreams and continue to pursue my dreams one by one. I hope to swim with the dolphins again someday under Daisuke's guidance.

Thank you so much, Daisuke, the captain, and all the participants who shared such a happy time with me!

I wholeheartedly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to swim with dolphins on the Big Island!

小さい頃から、野生のイルカと泳ぎたいと夢をみていたけど、
ハワイ島で、その夢が叶いました！！！！

ダイスケさんから、「今日はすぐに出会えると思うよ～」と言われた時、
もう嬉しくてその場で飛び上がりそうに。
野生のイルカだから、本当に会えるかはその時にしか分からないというのは
念頭に置きながらも、でもやっぱり、会いたい気持でいっぱい。

シュノーケリングは小さいころやった以来で、
海の中で呼吸ちゃんと出来るかなぁという不安で、最初海に入った時は
ちょっと焦り気味だったんだけど、ダイスケさんがそばにいてくれて、しっかり
フォローしてくれる安心感を感じてからは、怖さや不安なんてすぐに吹っ飛んでいました。

そして、海に出てから早々にイルカと遭遇！！！
ゆっくりと泳いでくれるイルカたちに、もう興奮MAX。
つい力がはいっちゃう。
でも、ダイスケさんに一番大切なことは、力を完全に抜くことだと言われたので、
後半からは、力を抜きリラックスした気持でイルカと何回も一緒に泳ぎました。

当然、野生のイルカ達なので、泳ぐスピードはその時々違う。
でも、だからこそ野生のイルカなんだなぁと感じれることも楽しさの１つな気がします。

とにかく、イルカちゃん可愛すぎる～。
ちゃんと海の中で、「キューキュー」と泣くイルカの声も聞こえます。
感動！！！！

そして、何よりイルカを愛し、イルカのことを知り尽くし、
姿が見えないのにイルカの存在をすぐにキャッチするダイスケさんの凄さに圧巻。
はい、海に入る準備して～と言われて入るとダイスケさんの言った通りに
イルカに遭遇することができる。もう魔法にかかったみたい。

ダイスケさん、本当にイルカと会話出来るみたいで、ダイスケさんのそばにはいつも
イルカが寄ってきて、一緒にダンス♪
愛する心は、ちゃんと伝わるんだなぁと実感しました。
イルカちゃんも、ダイスケさんと泳げて楽しそう♪ダイスケさんももちろん
HAPPYオーラ全開♪そして私たち参加者も。
愛とHAPPYしかない空間。
イルカの癒し力を心から感じ、ダイスケさんのオーラに自然とこっちまで元気になって、
海からあがる時、船上から手を伸ばしてあがるの手助けしてくれるキャプテンの優しさに
心が温かくなり、もうずっと笑いっぱなし、興奮しっぱなしのツアーでした。

最後、エンジントラブルで海の上で動けなくなった船をキャプテンがすかさず見つけて、
声を掛け、救助活動といった場面にも遭遇。
ダイスケさんの「困った時は助け合うのが普通だからね」といった言葉に、
当たり前の事なんだけど、再度その大切なことを再認識させられました。
こういうキャプテンや、ダイスケさんがガイドしてくれるツアーだから、
今回たくさんのイルカちゃんたちに出会えたんだろうなぁと感謝の気持でいっぱいです。

ダイスケさんが教えてくれた、夢を確実に叶えていく方法を参考に、
これからも１つ１つ夢を追っていきたいなぁと思います。
またいつか、ダイスケさんのガイドのもと、イルカちゃんたちと泳ぎたいな。

ダイスケさん、キャプテン、そして一緒にHAPPYな時間を共有させて頂いた参加者の方、
最高に幸せな時間をありがとうございました！！！！

ハワイ島でイルカと泳ぎたい方には、心からおすすめのツアーです☆

It was more fun than I imagined. 想像以上に楽しかった

Reviewed by: たろいもちゃん

We participated in the morning tour as a couple. Three days before the tour, I made a reconfirmation call from the front desk of our hotel (King Kamehameha), but we struggled to communicate (neither of us speaks much English), so we had to ask a hotel staff member to assist us.

On the day of the tour, we took a taxi to the meeting point, which cost about $30 (including tip). After checking in, we received some instructions from the tour guide in front of the boat, but since there was no roof, it was very hot, and I was worried about getting sunburned.

It took about an hour to reach the snorkeling spot. During that time, we could help ourselves to breakfast items like muffins, croissants, and fruits. After that, the tour staff came around to lend us fins, so we communicated our shoe sizes (in US sizes).

When we arrived at the Captain Cook Monument, there was a brief explanation before we started snorkeling. I brought anti-fog solution for my snorkeling mask from Japan, but there was some available on the boat as well.

The water was more transparent than I had imagined, and I was thrilled. There were various fish, and we swam while holding hands. Before participating, I was concerned about the depth of the ocean, but perhaps because we were wearing flotation devices, I didn't feel scared even when we went deeper.

After about an hour of swimming, we had lunch when we heard a signal of "ding ding ding." I think we were able to snorkel for almost another hour after lunch. The return boat was quite rocky, so I was glad I took motion sickness medication.

We chose seats on the first floor, so we didn't have to worry about the sun on the way there, and the breeze felt nice, but on the way back, it was cold because we were wet. The women's restroom on the boat had a broken lock, but it was clean.

On the way back, we encountered a pod of wild dolphins, and the boat stopped for a while to let us see them. We even got to see the dolphins jump. I would love to participate again.

午前のツアーに夫婦で参加しました。
ツアー３日前に宿泊ホテル（キングカメハメハ）のフロントからリコンファームの電話をかけましたが、上手く会話ができず（二人ともほとんど英語が話せません）、途中でホテルの人にかわってもらい対応してもらいました。
当日はタクシーで集合場所へ向かいました。※３０ドル（チップ込み）
チェックイン後、出航前に船の前でツアーの人から注意点等の説明をうけますが、屋根がない場所だったため、とても暑く日焼けが気になりました。
シュノーケリングスポットまでは約一時間。その間、マフィンやクロワッサン・フルーツなどの朝食がセルフで食べられます。そのあとフィンの貸し出しのためツアーの人たちがまわってきてくれますので、自分の足のサイズ（アメリカサイズ）を伝えます。
キャプテンクック記念碑の前につくと、また少し説明があった後シュノーケリングスタートです。日本からシュノーケリングマスクの曇り止め液をもっていきましたが、船内にもありました。
海の中は、想像以上に透明で感激しました。いろんな魚がいて、二人で手をつなぎながら泳ぎました。参加する前は海の深さが気になっていましたが、浮き具をつけていたためか、深めの方へ行っても怖さは感じませんでした。
一時間ほど泳ぐと「カンカンカン」という合図とともに昼食の時間になります。
食後も一時間弱はシュノーケリングできたと思います。
帰りの船は結構揺れたので、酔い止めを飲んでおいて良かったです。
私たちは１階の席にしたので、行きは日差しを気にする必要がなく風も気持ちよかったのですが、帰りは体が濡れているため寒かったです。船内の女子トイレは鍵が壊れていたけどキレイです。
帰りがけに野生のイルカの群れに遭遇し、しばらく船をとめてみせてくれました。イルカのジャンプもみれました。
また参加したいです。

My mom is 75 and didn't snorkel but the crew was very nice and made sure she had everything she needed. When we return to Kona we will take this cruise again. The crew was very knowledgeable and made sure we knew everything we were seeing. The families with kids looked like they were having a great time especially on the high dive and slides. The area we went to was beautiful. We saw a shark hiding in the reef and many beautiful fish and coral. The food was great.

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

First Night on Island

Reviewed by: Joanne

We had a great time! Staff was friendly and very interactive with guest, food was great and plentiful, entertainment was great, historical guide was informative and great to talk too! The boat wasn't packed with people like the other boats leaving the dock. We would definitely do the dinner cruise again. You get some spectacular sites from the cruise, even a dolphin side show. The captain stopped the Boat for dinner and we watched the spectacular sunset while eating. It was a great experience! I would highly recommend this dinner cruise.

Dolphin イルカ

Reviewed by: tanamai

The snorkeling point had quite high waves, so families with small children seemed to have a tough time. After about three attempts, we encountered a lot of dolphins! It was truly moving ♡ While in the water, I could even hear the dolphins' calls, and I was very satisfied!! For those who get seasick, I think it's essential to take motion sickness medication. Also, since we were snorkeling in a place where we couldn't touch the bottom, they provided floaties for those who couldn't swim. I wouldn't recommend it for those who feel anxious.

結構波が高いポイントでシュノーケルだったので、小さなお子さん連れていたご家族は大変そうでした。
3回くらいアタックして、沢山のイルカに出会えました！とっても感激♡
海の中にいるとイルカの鳴き声も聞こえて、大満足でした！！
船酔いする方は必ず酔い止め必要かと思います。
あと、足がつかない場所でシュノーケルするので泳げない方には浮き輪貸してくれてました。不安な方にはオススメしないです。

It's the best memory. 最高の思い出です

Reviewed by: Toshi

My wife and I participated together. Before joining, I heard great things about Daisuke, and I thought if I was going to swim with dolphins, it had to be with him. After the tour, we all agreed it was "the best!" and it became a wonderful memory.

Before departure, they mentioned it would take about 40 to 50 minutes to reach the dolphin encounter point, but luckily, we encountered a pod of dolphins just 5 minutes after setting off! We quickly dove in and had the best time with the dolphins. Throughout the experience, I was very satisfied to feel Daisuke's passion for dolphins and his energy to share their charm! When I go to Hawaii again, I will definitely participate again!

嫁と二人で参加したました。
参加前にダイスケさんの評判を知りイルカと泳ぐならダイスケさんだと思い、
申し込みましたがツアーが終わった後には口を揃えて「最高だった！」と言える程、
素敵な思い出になりました。

出発前には「イルカと出会えるポイントまで40～50分程度」と言っていましたが、ラッキーなことに出発して5分でイルカの群れに遭遇！早速潜ってイルカとの最高の時間を過ごすことができました。終始ダイスケさんのイルカに対する想いと、その魅力を伝えたいというエネルギーに触れられ大満足です！ハワイに行く際には、また参加します！

Many dolphins たくさんのイルカ

Reviewed by: jun

I was worried about whether I would encounter dolphins due to the bad weather the day before, but according to our guide Daisuke, we encountered around 200 dolphins. Every time I looked into the water, I saw dolphins. It became the best memory of my life!

It's a good idea to bring water when you board the boat.

前日が悪天候だったので、イルカに出会えるか心配でしたがガイドのダイスケさんがおっしゃるには２００頭ぐらいのイルカに出会えたとのことでした。
本当に海の中を覗く度にイルカたちに出会えました。
人生で最高の思い出になりました！

ボートに乗り込む時には水を持っていった方がいいです。

The number of fish I've never seen before! 見たことないお魚の数！

Reviewed by: eriri

I am a complete beginner at snorkeling, but I was really immersed in it. I was amazed by the clarity of the water and the number of fish. There were a few moments of anxiety, but it was such a wonderful experience that it made up for everything.

I participated with my child. My child seemed a bit anxious and was looking around, wondering if there were any Japanese people, but there were quite a few Chinese people, and we were the only two Japanese. Everything was in English, so I couldn't understand anything and just followed the movements of those around me. Well, once you're in the water, there are no problems at all (*^-^*).

One little issue was that I made the reservation on my smartphone while traveling, but I had to bring a printed reservation instead of just showing the smartphone screen. I managed to get it printed at the hotel front desk, thanks to a kind front desk staff member who understood a little Japanese.

Also, regarding the snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, please make sure not to confuse the meeting point, which is at Keauhou Bay.

シュノーケルは超初心者ですが、すごい夢中になってシュノーケルしていました。水の透明度、魚の数にびっくりでした。少し不安な所がありましたが、それを全てチャラにするくらい素敵な経験をさせてもらいました。
子供と二人で参加しました。子供は心細かったみたいで｢日本人いないかなぁ｣とキヨロキヨロ周りを捜していましたが、中国の人は結構おられましたが、日本人は私たち二人だけでした。全て英語だったので、何も理解できませんでしたので、周りの人の動きを見ながら行動してました。まぁ海に入ればなんの問題もありませんが(*^-^*)
ちよっと困ったのは、旅行に出てからスマホで予約したのですが、スマホ画面ではなく、予約票を印刷して持って行かなければなりませんでした。ホテルのフロントでなんとかプリントして貰う事ができましたが、少し日本語が通じる親切なフロントマンのおかげです。
あと、ケアラケクア湾シュノーケルですが、集合はケアウホウ湾なので、つい間違わないようにして下さい。

Excellent transparency! 透明度抜群！

Reviewed by: らがお

The clarity of the ocean was outstanding, and there were plenty of fish, which made it very enjoyable. Since it was a plan without transportation, I thought the directions to the parking lot and from the parking lot to the boat were a bit unclear, but it was manageable.

The explanations were in English, but they provided written instructions in Japanese regarding snorkeling precautions, so that was also manageable. The meeting point before the boat departs only has one restroom, so there might be a bit of a wait, but there is a restroom on the boat as well, so it's fine.

Once on the boat, you need to secure your preferred seating early if you want to enjoy your meal comfortably, so be cautious about that. In the morning, the muffins were delicious, and the lunch burgers were tasty too.

The explanation regarding the vests and floaties for snorkeling was, "Feel free to use what you like according to your level." In a previous tour I took in Oahu, wearing a life vest was mandatory, which made swimming difficult, so I appreciated this flexibility. I think if you're accustomed to snorkeling, a vest isn't necessary. If you wear fins, your body will float.

There was about an hour of free time upon arrival. Even with lunch in between, we had plenty of time to enjoy snorkeling, which was great. Before heading back, I was able to take a freshwater shower at the right timing, but if you miss that opportunity, there are no shower facilities nearby, so you have to go back to the hotel as is.

Still, I can truly recommend this for those who want to swim in a highly transparent ocean.

海の透明度が抜群で、魚も沢山いて、とても楽しめました。
送迎無しのプランでしたので、駐車場の場所と、駐車場から船までの場所の案内が、少しわかりづらかったかなとも思いましたが、まあ、何とかなります。
説明は英語のみですが、シュノーケリングの注意事項等は、日本語で書いた説明文を見せてくれますので、これも、何とかなります。
船が出るまでの待ち合わせ場所になっている所には、トイレが１つあるだけですので、ちょっと並んだりもしますが、船にもトイレはありますから、大丈夫。
船に乗ったら、自分たちの座りたい席は、早めにキープしないと、ゆっくり座って食事が出来なくなりますので、注意が必要です。
朝は、マフィンが美味しかった。ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングの時のベストや浮き輪は、「自分のレベルに合わせて、好きな物を使って下さいね」という程度の説明。以前、オアフで利用したツアーは、ライフベスト必ず着用でしたので、泳ぎにくくて辛かったので、これは私達にはありがたいなと思いました。
シュノーケリングに慣れている人ならば、ベストは必要無いと思いました。フィンを付けていれば、身体は浮くので。
到着して１時間程度のフリータイム。ランチをはさんでもう１時間程度、たっぷりシュノーケリングが楽しめて、良かったです。
帰る前の船に上がるタイミングで真水のシャワーを浴びる事が出来ましたが、そのタイミングを逃すと、戻っても近くにシャワーの設備等がありませんので、そのままホテルまで戻るしかありません。
それでも、透明度の高い海で泳ぎたい方には、本当におすすめできます。

The best memories. 最高の思い出。

Reviewed by: さっちゃん

This time, I participated with my mother. Last year, I went to Oahu with my friends and saw wild dolphins for the first time. I wanted my mother to experience that excitement too, so I joined this tour, hoping to be guided by Daisuke, based on everyone's reviews! Just as the reviews said, Daisuke's love for dolphins and his strong desire for us to see them really came through, and I couldn't stop feeling excited from the car ride there! In reality, we encountered many dolphins, including a newborn dolphin that Daisuke said he had never seen before, which was incredibly thrilling! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii Island again, I would definitely want to join this tour. The boat was very rocky until we got out to sea, so I think it's safer for those who are prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication. For those participating in the tour, please enjoy it with peace of mind!

今回、母と2人で参加しました。
去年、友達とオアフ島に行き野生のイルカを初めてみました。母にもあの感動を味わってもらいたくて、初のハワイ島で皆さんの口コミを参考にぜひダイスケさんに案内してもらいたくこちらのツアーに参加させて頂きました！
口コミ通り、ダイスケさんのイルカに対する愛や、わたし達に絶対イルカを見てもらいたいという想いが物凄く伝わってきて行きの車中からワクワクが止まらなかったです！実際、たくさんのイルカや、ダイスケさんも初めて見たと言ってた産まれたてのイルカの赤ちゃんにも遭遇でき物凄く興奮しました！またハワイ島に行く機会があれば必ず参加したいツアーです。沖に出るまでの船がとても揺れる為、船酔いしやすい方は酔い止めを内服された方が安心だと思います。ツアーに参加される方、安心して楽しんできてくださいね。

I saw the best dolphins. 最高のイルカがみれました

Reviewed by: みきすけ

The weather was probably nice, which allowed us to see quite a few dolphins up close. The tour guide, Daisuke, was very polite, kind, and full of energy. I consider myself someone who doesn't get easily moved, but I genuinely want to go on this tour again.

おそらく日もよかったのでしょうが、かなりのイルカを近くでみることができました。
ツアーガイドのダイスケさんも非常に丁寧、親切で、またエネルギーを感じる方でした。
そんなに簡単には感動しないタイプだと自己評価していますが、このツアーはまた行きたいと純水に思います。

The number and variety of fish are lacking. 魚の数や種類はイマイチ

Reviewed by: ありのまま

The staff were kind and entertaining, which was great, but overall, the experience felt lacking. I participated in snorkeling for the first time in the Hawaiian islands, with many repeat visitors promoting it, so I had high expectations. However, there were few fish in terms of both quantity and variety, and I felt it wasn't worth the time and money spent. The waters in Okinawa and Asia are definitely much clearer and have more fish! Is this what Hawaii is like? I also had high hopes for the luxurious BBQ, but aside from snacks, the only real meal was a hamburger. The burger they grilled on-site was indeed delicious, but I felt that Americans have a rather limited diet during this trip. By the way, we were the only Japanese people there, and no one spoke Japanese at all.

スタッフの方々は親切で、なにかとおもしろく楽しませてくれてよかったのですが、全体的に内容がイマイチといった感じでした。ハワイの離島で初のシュノーケリング、リピーター多数というフレコミで、とても期待して参加したのですが、魚の数も種類も少なく、こんな時間とお金をかけてくるほどじゃないなと思ってしまいました。沖縄やアジアの海の方がだんぜんキレイで魚も多い！ハワイってこんなもんなの？という印象です。豪華ＢＢＱとあるのも期待したのですが、スナックを除けば食事らしい食事はハンバーガーだけ。その場で焼いてくれるバーガーは確かに美味しかったけど、アメリカ人って食生活が乏しいと感じる旅行でした。
ちなみに、日本人は私たちだけでした。日本語は全く通じません。
