    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

    Participate in the afternoon. 午後のに参加

    Reviewed by: 匿名希望

    On the first day of my arrival on the Big Island, I participated in this tour. After renting a car at Kona Airport, I headed straight to the meeting point, arriving at 1 PM to prepare and board the boat at 2 PM. It was raining, but we were still able to snorkel. An hour after boarding, we reached a fairly deep spot near the Captain Cook monument. Due to the bad weather, not much was captured on the underwater camera, but I was able to see fish with my own eyes. As for the snacks, we were served pineapple, oranges, potato chips, and drinks. I wasn't sure if there was a paid drink menu, but I was able to order something casually and they brought it to me. In this tour, we were the only Japanese participants. There were no staff members who spoke Japanese. It felt like being in a foreign party, as the foreigners on board were happily chatting away.

    ハワイ島に着いた初日に参加。コナ空港でレンタカーを借りてすぐに集合地に向かい１３時につき準備をして１４時に乗船できました。雨がふっていましたが、シュノーケルできました。乗船して１時間後、キャプテンクックの記念碑のそばでかなり深い場所でした。天気が悪かったので水中カメラで撮ったものはあまり写っていませんが、肉眼で魚を見ることができました。軽食というだけあって、パイナップルとオレンジ、ポテトチップスと飲み物がでました。飲み物は有料メニューがあるのかないのか不明でしたが、適当に頼んだらだしてもらえます。このツアーに日本人は私達しかいませんでした。スタッフも日本語が話せる人もいません。外国のパティーにでもきたような位、乗船中は外国人が楽しそうに談話してます。

    Fair Wind Cruises フェアウインド・クルーズ

    Reviewed by: 匿名希望

    I went to Hawaii Island for the first time and participated in snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay. The guidebooks say it's better in the morning, but I joined the afternoon tour and had plenty of fun. The crew is all foreign, so there might be some language barriers, but they are experienced, so there's no need to worry. The atmosphere was great, and I really enjoyed it. The sea was calm, and if you're lucky, you might catch some fish along the way, and there’s a chance of encountering dolphins while snorkeling. Unfortunately, I didn't see any when I went. The boat was comfortable as well. It's a large catamaran, so I didn't see anyone getting seasick.

    今回はじめてハワイ島に行きケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングに参加しました。ガイドブックなどには午前中のほうがいいとかいてありましたが、私が参加したのは午後のツアーでしたが、じゅうぶん楽しめました。クルーは全て外人なのでやや言葉に困るかもしれませんがみななれているので心配は要らないでしょう。のりがよくとてもたのしめました。海もしずかで途中うんがよければ魚もつれるし、シュノーケル中にイルカに出くわすこともあるそうです。残念ながら私が行ったときにはあえませんでしたが。船も快適です。大型のカタマラン船なので船酔いしている人はみかけませんでした。

    It became a precious memory. 貴重な思い出になりました

    Reviewed by: 匿名希望

    It was the best day for me, as someone who loves snorkeling. The water wasn't as cold as I expected, and the clarity was great, allowing me to see various types of fish. There are quite a few species native to the Hawaiian Islands, so I recommend it to anyone who has experienced snorkeling in other countries.

    Also, when entering the water from the boat, you can use stairs, so there's no need to jump off the boat, making it easy for beginners to get into the sea. While waiting to board the boat, I saw a small green turtle swimming by the jetty, so I was hoping to see more turtles, but since the snorkeling spot at Kealakekua Bay doesn't have a beach, turtles don't come close, which was a bit disappointing.

    However, I was lucky enough to casually look up while floating in the sea and saw a White-tailed Tropicbird gracefully flying by. It's a bird that you don't often get a chance to see, so this was also a precious memory.

    シュノーケルの大好きな私にとって最高の一日でした。
    思っていた程水が冷たくありませんでしたし、水の透明度もよくて、色々な種類の魚が見られました。ハワイ諸島固有の魚が結構いるので、他の国でシュノーケルを経験した人にもお勧めです。
    また、船から海に入るときは階段を利用できるのでボートから飛び降りる事もなく、初心者も簡単に海に入れます。
    ボートへの乗船を待っている間、ジェッティで小さなグリーンタートルが泳いでいましたので、もっとカメを見られるかと期待していたのですが、シュノーケルをするケアラケクア湾はビーチがないので近くにカメはこないという事で、海の中ではカメにあえなかったのがちょっと残念でした。
    ただ、ラッキーな事に、海でプカプカしながら何気なく上を見たら、シラオネッタイチョウ（White-tailed Tropicbird）が優雅に飛んで行くのが見えました。なかなか見るチャンスのない鳥なのでこれも貴重な思い出の一つです。

    The transparency is wonderful. 透明度がすばらしい

    Reviewed by: シュノーケラー

    It was a wonderful tour that met my expectations. The clarity of the ocean was amazing, I got to see many fish, and the food was delicious. There were no Japanese staff, but they accommodated us without any issues. I would like to participate again. For those who dislike being around too many Japanese people in Hawaii, I recommend this tour as there were only a few Japanese participants.

    期待通りの、すばらしいツアーでした。海の透明度もすばらしく、たくさんの魚にも会え、食事も美味しかったです。日本人スタッフはいませんが、別段不自由なく対応してくれました。また、参加したいです。ハワイは日本人ばかりでいやだという人には、日本人の参加者は数組しかいなくお勧めです。

    Fairwind フェアウィンド

    Reviewed by: コナコーヒー百姓

    I participated in the morning tour on May 22nd. The Fair Wind boat is located about 15-20 minutes south by car from downtown Kona at Keauhou Bay. The morning in Kona is incredibly pleasant, and driving while overlooking the Pacific Ocean is the best. After parking in the designated lot, I checked in. After showing my voucher and signing the waiver, I received my boarding pass and went to get my snorkel. There was a brief explanation before boarding, and then we set sail. Be sure to grab a seat on the second floor and soak up the sun. The sun in Kona is no joke, so make sure to apply sunscreen to avoid getting burned. I spotted a wild dolphin, but it seems that whales can be seen during the season. While enjoying a light breakfast of muffins, cake, Hawaiian juice, and coffee, we arrived at Kealakekua Bay in about 30 minutes. In the morning, the winds are light, so we mostly use the engine, but on windy afternoon tours, we can enjoy quiet sailing with the sails up. Once we arrived, the captain gave us safety instructions and explained how to use the snorkel before we entered the water. The sun was hot, so getting into the water felt like heaven. I was first amazed by the coral reef forest. Since it's a marine life conservation area, the water clarity is outstanding, and you can see the fish very well. What's particularly impressive is that the depth suddenly increases to about 10-20 meters from the coral reef to the inner bay, so when you go out, you can't see the bottom. The sensation of sunlight pouring down to the deep blue bottom is unforgettable. Kealakekua Bay is the famous place where Captain Cook landed, and it's a historically significant bay where white people "discovered" Hawaii in the 18th century. It is said that Captain Cook's ship was surrounded by 1,000 to 1,500 Hawaiian canoes upon landing. The season when they landed was just the time of "peace and restoration," and fortunately, they received a warm welcome. However, three months later, when he tried to leave Hawaii and returned to Kealakekua Bay due to rough seas, the season had already changed, and he was welcomed by 3,000 warriors. They attempted to kidnap an ali'i (chief rank royalty) but failed and were brutally killed. Unfortunately, we cannot land at the Captain Cook monument. After snorkeling, we relaxed while enjoying a barbecue on the boat. We could enjoy water slides and diving, having fun in true Hawaiian style. We set sail around noon and took about 20 minutes to reach Keauhou.

    ５月２２日の午前ツアーに参加してきました。　コナのダウンタウンから車で１５~２０分南に下った所にあるケアホウ湾にフェアウィンド号はあります。　コナの朝は超気持ちいいし、太平洋を見下ろしながらのドライブは最高。　指定された駐車場に車を止めたら、チェックイン。　バウチャー見せてウェイバーにサインしたら、乗船券を渡されて自分のスノーケルを取りに行きます。　乗船前に簡単な説明があり、いよいよ出港。　ぜひ２階に席をとって太陽をガンガンに浴びましょう。　コナの日差しは洒落にならないので日焼け止めは必ず塗りって火傷しない様に。　野生のイルカを一匹見られましたが、季節にはクジラが見えるみたいです。　マフィン、ケーキ、ハワイアンジュース、コーヒーなどの軽い朝食を食べながら、ケアラケクア湾には大体３０分位で着きます。　午前中は風が弱いので大体はエンジンを使って行きますが、風の強い午後のツアーは帆を張って静かなセーリングを楽しめます。　いよいよ着いたらキャプテンから注意事項、スノーケルの使用法等の説明を受けて、水に入ります。　日差しが暑かったので水に入ると天国の気分。　まずは珊瑚礁の森に驚かされます。　海洋生物保護区なので水の透明度は超抜群で、魚達もよく見えます。　特に凄いのは珊瑚礁から内湾にかけて１０−２０m程は急に深くなっているので沖に出ると底が見えない事です。　太陽の光がディープブルーの底に注いでる感覚は頭に焼き付きます。　ケアラケクア湾はかの有名なキャプテンクックが上陸した場所で、１８世紀に白人がハワイを「発見」した歴史的な湾です。　キャプテンクックの船は上陸時、１０００~１５００ものハワイアンカヌーに囲まれたそうです。　彼らが上陸した季節は丁度「平和と回復」の時期で、幸運にも大変なもてなしを受けたそうですが、　３ヶ月後ハワイを離れ様とし荒海のため再びケアラケクア湾に戻った時は、ハワイは既に季節は変わっていて、３０００人もの戦士に迎えられたそうです。　彼らはアリイ（酋長ランクの王族）を誘拐しようとして失敗し、無惨にも殺害されました。　残念ながらキャプテンクックのモニュメントには上陸できません。一通りスノーケルを済ました後は、バーベキューを船上で頬張りながらくつろぎます。　ウォータースライダーやダイビング等を楽しめ、ハワイらしく遊べます。　大体お昼過ぎに出港し２０分位かけてケアホウ

    I participated in the morning tour on August 19. Boarding started at 9 AM. As soon as we boarded and looked down at the sea, we saw a large school of fish. Chased by five big fish, we observed how the school changed shape, which heightened our expectations for this tour. After leaving the school of fish behind, the boat set sail and arrived at our destination in about an hour. The water clarity was outstanding! Even from the surface, we could see the shadows of many fish. Here, the crew provided explanations about snorkeling in English. And then, it was finally time to go into the water. Because the Fair Wind boat is large, the nearby water temperature was cold. However, it was warm in the shallows when we swam with fins, so it was fine. There were many tropical fish in yellow and black, and the coral was incredibly beautiful. I even found an eel hiding in the coral. After swimming for a while, when I started to feel tired, I noticed smoke coming from the boat. Yes, it was the smoke from grilling cheeseburger patties. Tempted by the delicious smell, I returned to the boat and enjoyed a burger before heading back into the water again. Alternatively, you could play on the boat's slide. Adults were jumping in with the kids too. The boat set sail around 12:20 PM for the return trip, but there was still fun to be had on the way back. They lowered about four fishing rods from the boat, and one of them caught a fish. It seemed to be quite a big one, and the excitement grew among everyone, but what came up was surprisingly a slim fish that looked like a larger version of a barracuda. Then, there was a video shoot on the first floor of the boat where everyone was filmed that day. After that wrapped up and as we got closer to the port, we spotted five wild dolphins playing in the waves created by the boat! However, I had left my camera on the second floor of the boat and couldn't capture them on film. Soon we reached the port, and as the waves disappeared, the dolphins swam away. Most people didn’t notice them. We probably saw them for about a minute. If you're lucky, you might see them, so be sure to bring your camera wherever you go. It was truly a highly satisfying tour. In Kona, the wind picks up in the afternoon, and the waves can get a bit rough, so I recommend the morning tour. The crew only speaks English. Besides us, there were two groups of Japanese families spanning three generations and two girls traveling together. Most participants were from Western countries. If you're concerned about sunburn and want to sit on the first floor during the boat ride, make sure to check in by 8:30 AM and line up.

    8月19日の午前のツアーに参加しました。乗船開始時間９時。乗船早々に船から海を見下ろすと大きな魚の群れが見えました。大きな魚５匹に追っかけられて、群れがいろんな形に変化する様子が観察でき､がぜんこのツアーへの期待度が高まります。魚の群れを跡に船は出港し、１時間ほどで目的地に到着。海の透明度は抜群!！。海面からも濃い魚影がみえます。ここで船のクルーから英語にてシュノーケル等の説明があります。そして、いよいよ海の中へ。フェアウインドの船は大きいせいか、付近の海水温度は冷たいです。でも、フィンで浅瀬まで泳いでいくとぬくいので大丈夫。黄色とか黒の熱帯魚がたくさんいて､なんといっても珊瑚が大変美しかったです。私は珊瑚の隙間にうつぼもみつけましたよ。ひとしきり泳いで、疲れたなと思ったころに、なにやら船から煙がでています。そう、チーズバーガーのお肉を焼いてる煙なんです。いい匂いにつられて、船に戻り、バーガーをひとしきり食べたら､私たちはもう１度海に戻りましたが､そのまま船のスライダーで遊んでもいいかもしれません。大人も子供と一緒になって飛び込んでましたよ。12時20分頃船は出港。帰路につきますが､この帰路にも楽しみはありました。船から４本ほど魚を釣る竿をおろしているのですが、それに魚がかかりました。けっこう大物みたいで、俄然周囲は盛り上がりましたが､あがってきたのはいがいとしょぼいカマスの大きいバージョンみたいなスリムな魚でした。そして、船の１階で当日みんなを撮影したビデオの撮影会がありました。それが終了して、港も近くなったころ､船の作る波間を遊ぶように５頭の野生のイルカを発見！。が、カメラは船の２階におきっぱでカメラに収めることはできませんでした。ほどなく港につき、波が消えたため､イルカも去っていってしまいました。ほとんどの人が気付いてませんでした。時間にして１分ぐらい見れたでしょうか。運がよければみれるので、どこに行くにもぜひカメラをお供にすることをお忘れなく。ほんと満足度の高いツアーでした。コナは午後は風が吹き、波が少し荒くなるので､午前のツアーをお勧めします。船のクルーは英語のみです。私達のほかに日本人は３世代ファミリーが２組と、女の子同士２人が来ていました。参加者は欧米人が大半です。日焼けが気になり､船の移動中１階に座りたい人は8時30分には受付を済ませ､並びましょう。

    I was really anxious about participating alone, but the staff was friendly and I had a great time. The sea was beautiful and clear, and I was able to see a lot of fish, which was wonderful. There was a slide, and both adults and children had a lot of fun jumping off the second level of the boat. I think this is a place where families and couples can enjoy themselves widely.

    一人参加で凄く不安だったんですが、スタッフはフレンドリーでとても楽しく過ごせました。海はきれいで透明だし魚も沢山見れてとてもよかったです。滑り台はあるし、船の２階部分から飛び込みをしたりして大人も子供も凄く楽しんでいました。ここはファミリーからカップルまで幅広く楽しめるところだと思います。
