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

Fun, food, and educational!

Reviewed by: Mumsie2U

We booked this cruise in particular because it was wheelchair accessible. We were traveling with a friend who is in a wheelchair and we wanted to be able to get her out on the ocean. The crew was fantastic! The ramp was easy and we sat in the front of the boat.
On this cruise to Ke'alakekua, not only was there a wonderful bartender, but also a fabulous array of appetizers and a yummy dinner. AND there was a historian, named Boyd, who was able to tell us the history of the areas we were cruising by. Kudos to Boyd! IN ADDITION to all of this, we were suprised to find out the crew had fishing lines out and caught three large fish! Very exciting for us and also the crew.
This is just a great company with a great crew wo do hospitality right. Loved it all!

There are lots of dolphins! イルカがいっぱい！

Reviewed by: かじ

I participated on May 4th.

I had a great time meeting so many dolphins!

I dove into the area where the dolphins were swimming, and I was surprised when a pod came towards me?!

I was able to see many dolphins. There were dolphins jumping and spinning like in a show, playful dolphins, and mother-and-baby dolphins as well.

I felt surrounded, as if I was swimming with them.

I love the sound of dolphins, so being enveloped by their voices made me very happy.

Please be sure to experience it.

I highly recommend it!!

Thanks to Mr. Nawata. I would love to repeat this if I can go back to the Big Island.

5/4に参加させていただきました。

たくさんのイルカに会えてとても楽しかったです！

イルカが泳いでる所にダイブするんですが、イルカの群れが自分に向かってくる？！ってびっくり。

たくさんのイルカを見ることができました。
ショーのようにジャンプして回転してるイルカや
遊び好きなイルカ、親子イルカもいました。

囲まれてまるで一緒に泳いでるような気分になれました。

イルカの声が好きなので、声に包まれる感じでとても幸せでした。

ぜひ体験してみて下さい。

おすすめです！！

縄田さんに感謝。

Encounter with a large pod of dolphins. イルカの大群と遭遇

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I encountered a large group of dolphins and swam with them, feeling as if I had become a dolphin myself. Since they are wild, we shouldn't touch them. Although we participated as a family, out of six people, everyone except one child got quite seasick due to the boat and the waves. That said, it was still a very enjoyable experience overall!

イルカの大群に遭遇していっしょに泳ぎ、まるで自分がイルカになったかのような気分。野生なので触ってはいけません。ただ、ファミリーでの参加でしたが、船と海の揺れで6人中子供1人を除いてみんな相当な船酔いしました。それもやむなしで、トータルとても楽しかったです！

Deluxe Captain Cook Snorkeling Tour at Kealakekua Bay - Fair Wind Cruises

Kealakekua Bay Awesome Snorkel

Reviewed by: Apinklady

Although my favorite island is Kauai, my husband and I always take a side trip over to the big island, just because I have to snorkel at Kealakekua Bay! The first time we did it we took the Zodiac boat which was lots of fun, fast, wet, and bouncy. With that said the last three times we have chosen the Fair Wind! This large catamaran provides a wonderful relaxing ride over to the bay and they cook you a wonderful barbecue lunch in addition to a continental breakfast. There is lots of time to snorkel which is totally amazing! The coral and fish are beautiful. My favorite area is around the coral on the monument side. You will see lots of different fish and be sure and go back and snorkel some more after lunch! The catamaran does have slides and high platforms to jump off of, but the best part is snorkeling. They do offer snuba too, if you enjoy that. I highly recommend this tour. It is the best! Don't forget your underwater camera. Enjoy the attached pics.

I am very satisfied. 大満足です

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in an afternoon cruise. I drove a rental car to the meeting point for the tour. The weather was nice, and the boat didn't rock much, but while I was fiddling with my camera and looking for my belongings, I started to feel a bit queasy. Since it takes time to get to Kealakekua Bay, I think it's better to take it slow and enjoy the view outside for a while after boarding.

The sea was very beautiful, and I could see all the way to the bottom. There were also many small fish. The boat was equipped not only with snorkeling sets but also with floaties and some kind of tool that allows you to look into the water without putting your face in it.

Only the consent form for the first tour was available in Japanese, but everything on the boat was in English. Since they also discuss safety precautions, I wouldn't recommend it for someone who doesn't understand English at all.

On the way back, we encountered dolphins, and they swam alongside the boat for a while, so we were able to enjoy some dolphin watching. It was a very satisfying tour.

アフタヌーンクルーズに参加しました。ツアーの集合地点まではレンタカーで。天気は良く船も揺れなかったのですが、カメラをいじったり荷物を探したりしていたら少し酔いそうになりました。ケアラケクア湾へは時間がかかるので乗ってしばらくはゆっくり外を眺めていた方が良いと思います。
海はとても綺麗で底の方まで見渡せました。小さな魚もたくさんいます。船にはシュノーケリングセットだけでなく浮き輪や、顔を水につけずに水を覗き込める道具（？）等も準備されていました。
最初のツアーへの参加同意書のみ日本語の紙も用意されていましたが、船の中では全て英語です。注意事項等も話されるのでまったく英語がわからない人にはおすすめできないと思います。
帰りにはイルカに遭遇し、しばらく船と一緒に泳いでくれたのでイルカウォッチングまで楽しめました。とても満足のいくツアーでした。

Captain Cook Express 2.5-Hour Ocean Raft Adventure - Snorkel at Kealakekua Bay

Great Service and a Great Time

Reviewed by: Mike McCandless

My family had a wonderful time on this snorkel adventure! Even though only 3 of us were signed up for the afternoon activity, the staff was extremely friendly, courteous, and flexible.

We had a wonderful ride out to Captain Cook's monument, with stops along the way to explain some of the history for that part of the island. The snorkeling equipment was in very nice shape and fit well. The reef was very nice, with a wide variety of fish, and plenty of time to see everything. There were plenty of refreshments and snacks, including fresh pineapple and guava waiting for us when we finished snorkeling. On the ride back, out guide took us further out into the ocean to see if we might see any whales or dolphins.

All in all, this was a fantastic way to spend the afternoon of our last day on the island.

I participated in the afternoon tour. I received a reservation confirmation email that mentioned to call for confirmation the day before, but it might be a bit challenging for those who can't speak English.

I drove to the location with a rental car. The parking lot was far from the office and hard to find, so having a map in advance would be helpful.

The boat was fairly large, and I didn't feel seasick at all. We encountered dolphins along the way. There were light snacks and drinks available on board.

The sea was incredibly beautiful, and I was able to see many fish, coral reefs, and sea urchins. There was also a slide, which was fun.

I was surprised to see an elderly woman, who looked to be over 80 years old and bent over, entering the water! Of course, she had someone accompanying her.

Since it wasn't summer, it was cold when we got out of the water.

This is my number one memory from this trip to Hawaii. 今回のハワイ旅行でのNo1の思い出です。

Reviewed by: chia

On March 4, 2012, I participated in a tour with Aloha Kona Tours for my honeymoon. During this time, if you're lucky, you can see not only dolphins but also whales.

We were fortunate enough to encounter whales. Moreover, we were much closer than typical whale watching experiences (within 10 meters). In fact, they were swimming right under the boat. On our way back after swimming with the dolphins, a whale jumped right in front of us. I was so excited that I couldn't say anything other than "Wow!" (It was the same for Mr. Nawata from Aloha Kona Tours, right? lol)

There are various discussions about Japan's whaling practices, but I think this experience is one that everyone should have if possible. It had a significant impact on my personal perspective.

There were also plenty of dolphins. I was able to swim while dolphins were right in front of me. Experiencing "swimming with a pod of dolphins" is something you definitely can't do in Japan. Dolphins are just so cute, and there were even mother and baby pairs. I was able to swim multiple times by anticipating the movement of the pod. I got so excited that I swam too much.

As for what to bring, in addition to swimwear, it's a good idea to have a waterproof digital camera. I'll post some photos as well.

Thanks to Mr. Nawata and Ms. Tsuyako from Aloha Kona Tours, I had a safe and incredibly fun experience. (In fact, they were enjoying it with us, too! lol) Honestly, if you're going to the Big Island, you should definitely join this tour.

2012年3月4日にハネムーンでAloha Kona Toursのツアーに参加しました。
この時期は運が良ければイルカだけでなく、クジラも見ることが出来ます。

私たちは正にそれで、クジラと遭遇できました。
しかも、よくあるホエールウォッチングとは比較にならない近さでした。(10m以内)
というかボートの下を通ってました。
また、イルカと泳いだ帰りにも目の前でクジラがジャンプしました。
興奮しすぎて「すげぇ！」以外の言葉が出てこなかったです。
(Aloha Kona Tours縄田さんもでしたよねw）

日本人は調査捕鯨の話などでいろいろありますが、この体験は出来ればした方がいいと思いました。
私個人の考え方にとてもインパクトを与えました。

イルカもたくさん居ました。
目の前にイルカが居る状態で泳げました。
「イルカの群れと泳ぐ」なんて体験は絶対に日本では出来ません。
イルカはとにかくカワイイです。親子連れとかも居ました。
群れの移動に先回りして何回も泳ぐことが出来ました。
テンション上がり過ぎて泳ぎ過ぎました。

持ち物としては水着等以外にも防水タイプのデジカメがあった方がいいです。
写真も投稿しておきます。

Aloha Kona Tours縄田さん・つやこさんのおかげで、安全にとても楽しい体験が出来ました。
(むしろ一緒になって楽しんでましたね(笑)）
お世辞抜きにハワイ島へ行くならこのツアーに参加すべきです。

Since I am into diving, I went for snorkeling in the bay without expecting too much. It was beautiful.
There were plenty of fish, the reef was stunning, and the water clarity was high.
I think the clarity was comparable to that of the remote islands in Okinawa.
Drinks, snacks, and pineapples were all-you-can-eat.

On the way back, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and further away, there were whales.
It was fun on the large boat without any seasickness.

ダイビングやってるので湾でのシュノーケル、まぁそこまで期待しすぎず行きました。美しかったです。
魚も豊富リーフも美しい、透明度も高い。
透明度は沖縄の離島クラスかと思います
ドリンク、お菓子、パイナップルが食べ放題でした。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Check-in at Keauhou Bay. This tour is mainly targeted at mainland tourists who are participating in overseas tours, so all the guidance is in English. However, if you've received a basic education, you should be fine. The staff are friendly and respond kindly. Kealakekua Bay has high transparency and calm waves, making it an ideal environment for snorkeling. You'll be welcomed by a variety of tropical fish. Also, if you're lucky, dolphins might come by. With breakfast and lunch included at this price, it's quite reasonable.

ケアウホウ湾でチェックイン。チェックイン時から海外ツアーへ参加しているんだとわかる本土系観光客をメインターゲットにしたツアーです。だから案内等は全て英語ですが、義務教育を受けている人なら大丈夫です。スタッフはフレンドリーで親切に対応してくれます。ケアラケクア湾は透明度が高く波も少ない湾でシュノーケルにはもってこいの環境。色とりどりのトロピカルフィッシュがお出迎えしてくれます。また運が良いとイルカもやってくるそうです。朝食、昼食とついてこのお値段なので納得です。

After enjoying the cruise, you can go snorkeling in the cove, where part of the boat becomes a slide and diving platform. I had a great time diving in a free style that you can't do in pools in Japan, spinning in the beautiful sea and jumping in with friends. While doing various jumps, I also got to know other guests and staff on the boat, which made it even more fun. You might find snorkeling and cruise experiences elsewhere, but I highly recommend this option where you can dive wholeheartedly into the beautiful sea!!!

クルーズを堪能した後に、入江でシュノーケルができるのですが、船の一部が滑り台や飛び込み台になります。きれいな海に回転をしたり、友達と一緒に飛び込んだり日本のプールではできないような自由なスタイルで飛び込みを楽しみました。いろんな、ジャンプをしていたら一緒に船に乗っていた他のお客さんやスタッフの人とも仲良くなれてとても楽しかったです。シュノーケル体験やクルーズ体験は他でもできるかもしれませんが、きれいに海に向かって思いっきり飛び込めるこのオプションはおすすめです！！！

Dolphin tour イルカツアー

Reviewed by: 小山です

This time, I participated in a tour with Mr. Nawata, the same one as the manta ray tour. The manta ray night snorkeling is highly recommended, but the dolphin tour was absolutely amazing as well.

The experience involves diving ahead of the swimming course several times to chase after the pod of dolphins. Although it's quite rare, we were able to swim and play with the dolphins. They swam around us, almost touching us, and even playfully splashed us (laughs). In the clear waters where you could see hundreds of meters ahead, we truly got to "play" with the dolphins. Mr. Nawata said, "If you can't be moved by this, then there's nothing more!" It was the best experience. Just watching the dolphins swimming deep in the ocean was so beautiful that it made my mind go completely blank and filled me with happiness.

On the way back, we were taken to a beautiful beach where the locals go, and Mr. Nawata even acted as our photographer, for which I am truly grateful. I also posted a review for the manta ray night snorkeling tour, so I hope you can refer to that as well.

今回、マンタのツアーと同じ縄田さんのツアーに参加させて頂きました。マンタのナイトシュノーケリングも最高におススメですが、イルカのツアーも最っっ高でした。
内容は泳いでるコースに先回りして何度かダイブしてイルカの群れを追う？感じになるそうです。が、かなり珍しいそうなんですが私たちはイルカと一緒に泳いだり、遊んでもらう事が出来ました。イルカが自分達の周りを触れるか触れないかのところでグルグル泳いでくれたり、ウンチ？を引っかけられたり（笑）と、何百メートルも先まで見えそうな海の中でイルカとまさに『遊ぶ』ことができました。縄田さんにも「これで感動できなかったら、これ以上ないよ（笑）」と最高の体験ができました。海の中でずーっと深い所で泳いでいるイルカを観られるだけでもあたまのなかが真っ白になるくらい美しくて幸せになれます。帰りには地元の人が行くきれいなビーチに連れて行ってもらい縄田さんにカメラマンをしていただいたりと本当に感謝でいっぱいです。マンタのナイトシュノーケリングツアーの方にもレビュー載せましたのでそちらも参考にして頂ければと思います

An experience beyond imagination. 想像を超えた体験

Reviewed by: 青森の二人

I want to swim with wild dolphins! I participated to fulfill a dream I've held for many years. That said, since they are wild dolphins, I honestly thought I would just be watching them from a distance. However, in reality, I was able to swim with many dolphins at a distance that felt almost within reach!! I also swam very close to a manta ray! Our nature guide, Mr. Nawata from Aloha Kona Tours, was very kind and attentive, allowing me to swim without any anxiety, even in the ocean for the first time abroad. In fact, seeing Mr. Nawata enjoying himself even more than the participants (in a good way) made us smile and completely forget our tension and worries. He was a wonderful person whose love for the ocean, nature, and HAWAII truly shone through. The endlessly blue and clear waters of the Big Island... the friendly and adorable eyes of the dolphins... the majestic sight of the manta ray swimming gracefully... It was truly an experience beyond imagination... I lost track of time and swam with enthusiasm!! I definitely want to participate again someday.

野生のイルカと一緒に泳ぎたい！
長年あたためてきた夢を叶えるべく参加しました。
とはいっても野生のイルカなので一緒に泳ぐというよりも遠くから眺める程度かなと…正直なところそう思っていました。
ところが実際には、本当に手がとどきそうなくらいの距離で、たくさんのイルカと泳ぐことができました！！
マンタともすぐ近くで泳ぎました！
ネイチャーガイドの縄田さん（アロハコナツアーズ）がとても親切で丁寧な対応をして下さり、初めての海外の海でも不安なく泳げました。というかツアー参加者以上に楽しんでいる（いい意味で）縄田さんの姿に、私達も思わず笑顔がこぼれ、緊張も不安もすっかり忘れてしまったという感じでした。海を…自然を…HAWAIIを心から愛する気持ちが人柄にあらわれているような素敵な方でした。
どこまでも青く澄んだビッグアイランドの海…イルカ達の人懐こく愛くるしい瞳…悠然と泳ぐ雄大なマンタの姿…
まさに想像を超えた体験…時間も忘れて夢中で泳ぎました！！
いつかまた必ず参加したいと思っています。

On top of that, we also encountered humpback whales during this season, making it a fulfilling experience.

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＞

An exciting experience! エキサイティングな体験！

Reviewed by: okei

I participated with three female friends who are also golf buddies on November 30.

Since it was the first experience for me and another friend, we were a bit nervous, but we were able to enjoy it without any worries.

On this day, we were lucky enough to have a pod of dolphins come into the bay, so we could snorkel there without moving and saw the dolphins over and over again.

The water was incredibly clear, and the dolphins swam in groups, diving deep and then coming up to the surface, jumping right in front of us, which was so exciting. Even though we couldn't catch up, we couldn't help but chase after them in excitement. I even saw a baby dolphin swimming while nursing from its mother. I can't count how many times I ended up swallowing seawater from excitement... (laughs) Even now, just remembering it brings back those emotions.

That said, we were very grateful to our guide, Mr. Nawata. While we were in the water, he constantly made sure we were safe as we swam around excitedly, sometimes diving to take pictures of the dolphins, taking pictures of us, and pulling us in the direction where the dolphins were likely to come...

The beautiful gradient of the sea color at the beach that Mr. Nawata recommended on the way back was also breathtaking.

There are many similar tours, but we all agreed that we were glad to have participated in Mr. Nawata's tour!

　ゴルフ友達女３人組で１１月３０日に参加しました。　

私ともう一人は初体験だったので、少し緊張してたのですが不安なく楽しむことができました。

この日はラッキーなことに、入江にイルカの群れが来てたので、移動することなく　ずっとそこで　シュノーケリングでき　何度も何度も　イルカたちを見ました。　

海の中はすごい透明で、群れで泳いでるイルカたちが　深く潜っていき、それから海面に上がってきて、目の前でジャンプしたり、と　大興奮でした。　　追いつくはずもないのに、思わず夢中で追いかけてしまいます。
赤ちゃんイルカがお母さんのおっぱいを飲みながら泳いでいるのも見ました。
興奮して叫んで何度海水を飲んだことか・・（笑）
今思い出しても　あの感動が甦ります。

それにしても　ガイドの縄田さんにはお世話になりました。
海に入ってる時は、上記のように興奮して泳ぎ回ってる私達に絶えず気をつけてくれ、時には　潜ってイルカの写真をとったり、私達の写真をとってくれたり、イルカの来そうな方向に引っ張って行ってくれたり・・
帰りに連れて行ってくれた、縄田さんお薦めのビーチのグラデーションの美しい海の色も感動ものでした。

同じようなツアーはたくさんありますが、この縄田さんのツアーに参加してよかった！と全員一致しました。

Dolphin snorkeling tour イルカ　シュノーケーリングツアー

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was surprised to find dolphins as soon as we went out to sea. Once we entered the water, I could hear the dolphins' calls, and I was deeply moved to see them swimming close by and in groups. On the way back, a mother and baby dolphin swam right next to our boat, allowing us to see wild dolphins up close.

Additionally, both the captain of the boat and the local Japanese guide were very kind, and we had a wonderful time.

　海に出てすぐにイルカを見つけることが出来てびっくりしました。海に入るとイルカの鳴き声が聞こえ、自分の近くを泳いで行ったり、群れで泳いでいる姿を間近で見れたり、とっても感動しました。帰りも船のすぐ横を親子のイルカが一緒に泳いでいたりと本当にすぐ近くに野生のイルカを見ることが出来ます。
　また船のキャプテンも現地日本人ガイドの方もとっても親切で、楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました。

I got seasick. 船酔いしました

Reviewed by: tommy

I took medication in advance, but I ended up getting seasick and feeding the fish a lot. However, I was pleasantly surprised that the dolphins played with us, and I was satisfied to swim with them. Those who are used to the sea were diving and swimming together. For those who are not good at swimming, it might be a little scary at first, but there were two staff members supporting the six participants, so it was okay.

事前に薬を飲んだのですが、船酔いしてお魚にたくさんエサをあげてしまいました。。しかし、期待以上にイルカが一緒に遊んでくれて、イルカと泳げて満足です。海に慣れている方は潜って一緒に泳いでいました。泳ぎが得意でない方は、はじめ少し怖いかもしれませんが、参加者６人に対してスタッフが２名でサポートしてくれるので大丈夫でした。

This cruise was totally awesome! We were able to snorkel at three different locations and the marine life was great, saw turtles and lots of fish. On the way back we saw a huge pod of spinner dolphins. My husband and I had a fantastic time, will definitely do this again.

I was able to swim up close! 間近で泳ぐことが出来ました！

Reviewed by: chiaki

It was difficult to catch up because the dolphins swam so fast, but when I stopped, they would come towards me instead... I could also hear the dolphins making their "quee-quee" sounds.

I was so focused on swimming with the dolphins that I completely forgot I was in the ocean, and I panicked a bit when it was time to get in. However, thanks to the wetsuit, I was able to float, so it wasn't a problem even though I'm not a very strong swimmer.

I discovered a stingray, and I was able to go snorkeling there too!

The boat ride to the spot was fast, and that alone was fun. The wind felt great~♪

I had a valuable experience! Thank you, Nawata-san!

泳ぎが速くて、追いつこうと泳ぐのが大変でしたが、
止まっていると、逆に向こうから向かってきてくれたり･･･
「キューキュー」とイルカの鳴声も聞くことができました。

イルカと泳げる事に頭がいっぱいで、「海」で泳ぐ事が頭になく、いざ海に入るという時慌ててしまいました。でもウェットスーツのおかげで浮いていられるので、泳ぎがそれ程得意でない私でも問題なかったです。

エイを発見して、そこでもシュノーヶリングすることもできました！

ポイントに行くまでのボートもスピードが出て、それだけでも楽しかったです。風が気持ち良かった~♪

貴重な経験が出来ました！縄田さん、お世話になりました！

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー　滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く！＜午前・午後／英語ガイド／食事付＞by フェアウィンド号

Both snorkeling and BBQ are amazing!! シュノーケルもBBQも最高！！

Reviewed by: teamringo

The photos on the website were exactly as they appeared. The seabed was densely covered with coral reefs, and there were plenty of fish. I visited other snorkeling points as well, but I felt that this spot had exceptionally high visibility, possibly due to the lack of sand being stirred up. The depth was not too deep, so I felt safe swimming. There was also a lot of time to swim freely. About an hour before lunch and several minutes after lunch. I was very satisfied. Above all, the BBQ for lunch was delicious! The meal was a hamburger buffet, where you could enjoy freshly grilled beef patties, fresh sliced tomatoes, onions, pickles, and more, all piled into buns as you liked. It was so delicious that I ended up eating two. The staff were very kind, and during the explanation of safety precautions, they provided a written document in Japanese, which made it easy to understand without any confusion. Thank you to all the staff. I highly recommend this to those who haven't participated yet.

HPに載っている写真のイメージそのままでした。
海底にはサンゴ礁がびっしり。魚もたくさん。
他のシュノーケルポイントにも行きましたが、ここのポイントは、砂の巻き上げがないせいか、透明度が非常に高いと感じました。深さも深くなく安心して泳ぐことが出来ました。
自由に泳ぐことが出来る時間も非常に多かったです。
昼食前に１時間程度、昼食後に数十分。大満足です。
何よりも、昼食のBBQの美味しい事！！
内容は、ハンバーガーブッフェで、
その場で網焼きされたビーフパティや、新鮮なスライストマト、オニオン、ピクルス等を好きなだけバンズに挟んで食すスタイル。あまりに美味しくて２つ食べてしまいました。
スタッフの方も大変優しくて、注意事項の説明の際には、
日本語の書面を渡して下さり、戸惑うことなく理解出来ました。
スタッフのみなさんありがとうございました。
そして、まだ参加されていない方には、オススメです。
