I was initially worried about whether it would be suitable for seniors, but contrary to my concerns, it was an emotional and heartwarming tour. The encounter with the dolphins was incredible, as a whole family of dolphins jumped to greet us! It was my first time witnessing such a sight, and I was deeply moved.

We participated in this tour for our honeymoon. Since it was just the two of us, we could enjoy ourselves at our own pace without worrying about others.
The tips for kayaking were taught very well, and we were able to paddle at a comfortable pace, so we didn't get tired or sore.
The snorkeling had high visibility with plenty of fish, and it was incredibly beautiful. We spent a long time underwater, but our kind guide Kevin was always watching over us without rushing, and he took many photos for us. Since it was our honeymoon, we were happy to receive lots of couple photos.
We were able to see a pod of dolphins and explore a mystical cave, making for a unique experience that could only be done by kayak.
We truly felt rejuvenated by the kind Kevin and the beautiful sea, creating wonderful memories, and we are glad we participated in this tour.
新婚旅行でこのツアーに参加しました。参加は二人だけで自分たちのペースで気を遣うことなく遊べました。
カヤックのコツも上手に教えていただき、また休み休み漕ぐ事ができたので疲れたり筋肉痛になることもなかったです。
シュノーケリングは透明度が高くお魚も沢山いて、すごくキレイでした。長い事潜っていましたが優しいガイドのケビンさんは急かすことなくずっと見守ってくれていて、写真も沢山撮って下さいました。新婚旅行だったのでツーショット写真が沢山もらえたので嬉しかったです。
イルカの群れも見ることができたり、神秘的な洞窟を見たりとカヤックでしかできない貴重な体験ができました。
本当に優しいケビンさんとキレイな海に癒され素敵な思い出ができ、このツアーに参加して良かったです。

The participants were a foreign elderly couple, one foreign woman, and us, a couple from Nagoya, Japan, along with our 10-year-old son, making a total of six people. At the beginning, during check-in, we were asked if we could speak English, and we were given a printed explanation in Japanese. However, that printout did not necessarily follow the order of the spots we would visit. The captain provided explanations while making jokes, but it was quite confusing. I thought it would have been helpful if he had indicated which part he was explaining at the moment. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand the details of the explanations at each point, which was disappointing. Reading the printout was also a hassle, especially for children. Our family, who can only speak broken English, really felt the need to be able to communicate in English! My husband asked the captain several times to speak in Japanese, and when he said it in English, the captain replied that he couldn't speak Japanese, which was amusing to witness.
On our way to the bay, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and it was adorable to see a baby dolphin swimming alongside its parent! If I could wish for anything, it would have been to swim with them. Later, the captain quickly spotted a whale and made a swift turn to approach it. We were curious about what he was pointing at, and to our surprise, there was a whale right in front of us! The day before, we had participated in a kayak tour to a cave and heard that the whales would leave in April, so we were amazed to see a wild whale up close for the first time. Our family was incredibly moved by the experience.
Additionally, the captain occasionally tried to speak Japanese for our sake, but it seemed he had mistakenly learned to refer to whales as "Godzilla," as he kept pointing at the whale and saying, "Godzilla! Godzilla!" We couldn't help but laugh when we realized what he meant. This was our first time on the Big Island, and the water was incredibly clear. We swam with many tropical fish and felt like we could stay there forever, losing track of time while exploring underwater. The water temperature was warm in the shallow areas and cooler in the deeper parts, but we were constantly amazed by the stunning blue of the ocean. The lunch sandwiches were delicious, and the captain prepared fresh pineapple for us, which was perfectly chilled and fantastic! The boat was fast and thrilling with sharp turns, and our child was overjoyed. We plan to come back to the Big Island next year!
参加者は、外国人の老夫婦、外国人女性1人と私達、日本の名古屋人夫婦と10才の息子の6人でした。始めに、チェックイン時に英語が話せるか確認されて、日本語の説明プリントが渡されましたが、そのプリントは、必ずしも周る順でなく、スポットで立ち寄ってくれてキャプテンがなにやら、ジョークを交じながら説明してくれてるのですが、ちんぷんかんぷんで、説明の時に今はここを説明してるとか言ってくれると解って良かったのになと思いました。なので、ポイントごとの説明内容は、解らずで残念でした。やはり、プリントを読むのも面倒なので、特に子供などは。かたことの英語しか話せないうちらファミリーは、英語が話せなきゃいかん!とつくづく痛感したのでした。主人は、何度かキャプテンに日本語で言って!と英語で言えば、キャプテンも日本語話せんよと返してましたが、その2人のやりとりは、笑えました。湾に行く途中、イルカの群れに会い赤ちゃんイルカが、親子で並走したりして可愛かったです!欲言えば、一緒に泳ぎたかったですが。その後、キャプテンは、目ざとくクジラを見つけると素早く方向転換し、スーッとクジラに近づきはじめ私達は、なんだろうと思い指差す方を見てみると、なんと!小さいながらもクジラが目の前すぐそこにいるではありませんか!前日にカヤックで洞窟行くツアーに参加して、クジラは、四月で帰っちゃいましたと、聞いていただけに、もうびっくりで、初めて間近で見る野生のクジラに大感動の一家三人衆なのでした。あと、キャプテンは、時々、私達に気を遣ってくれて日本語を言うのですが、どうやら、クジラのことをゴジラと勘違いして覚えたらしく、しきりにクジラを指差し、ゴジラ!ゴジラ!と…何がゴジラなんだろうと?それが理解出来た時は、こちらも笑っちゃいました。今回、初ハワイ島で、海は透明度抜群で、たくさんのトロピカルフィッシュたちと泳ぎ、飽きることなくいつまでもそこにいたい感じで時の経つのも忘れてしまうほど、夢中になってずっと海中散策してしまい、水中温度は、浅瀬は高く、深い所は低いけど、吸い込まれそうな海の碧さにも感動しっぱなしでした。ランチのサンドイッチもとても美味しくてパインもその場でキャプテンがパインボードにしてくれ、良く冷えててサイコーでした!ボートは、スピードもあって急旋回してスリル満点!子供も大喜びで、来年からは、ハワイ島に来ます‼‼

A 64-year-old man who is not good at swimming or English, along with his wife who is even less skilled in both, signed up for this tour because of the possibility of seeing dolphins swimming naturally up close.
On the day of the tour, when we arrived at the meeting place, there were four of us Japanese: a young couple and us. The rest were four pairs of older couples from the mainland United States, along with two guides, making a total of 14 people. The rubber boat was fully booked.
As we set off, we soon encountered a turtle swimming leisurely in the bay. Once we reached the open sea, the two 150-horsepower engines easily sped the light rubber boat up to 20 knots (about 37 km/h). I thought it was strange that the tour was named "rafting" even though it wasn't a white-water rafting experience, but feeling the wind and splashes of waves all over my body was refreshing. I truly felt that Americans are good at finding dynamic activities.
After about 20 minutes, we spotted them: a "pod of dolphins." Just like on TV, they started to swim alongside us. After watching for a while, they performed two aerial jumps with twists. I felt like they were playing with us, and I was very satisfied.
When we arrived at Captain Cook's Cove, we were given life jackets and cylindrical floaties since neither of us could swim. At first, I was just floating leisurely and looking at the surface of the sea when suddenly I saw a beautiful coral reef. Upon closer inspection, I noticed real, colorful tropical fish swimming around the reef. I became engrossed in observing the tropical fish and found an angelfish.
I had many opportunities to see coral reefs on submarine tours before, but I had never seen such colorful coral reefs and tropical fish. Later, I found out that the Big Island of Hawaii is a young island, so the scale of the coral reefs is small, which contributes to its world-renowned clarity.
Lastly, a word of caution: be sure to bring a hat that can be secured with a string. A baseball cap can be blown away, resulting in sunburn on your head.
泳ぐのも、英語も不得意な64歳の男と、さらにどちらも不得意な妻が、このツアーを申し込んだのは、自然に泳ぐイルカを間近で見れる可能性があるからでした。
当日、集合場所に行くと日本人は若夫婦と私達の計4名、他はアメリカ本土から来た4組の熟年カップル。そして、ガイド役の2人で計14名。これでゴムボートは満席になりました。
出発すると、まもなく湾の中をゆったり泳ぐ亀に出会いました。外海にでると、150馬力2機のエンジンで、軽いゴムボートを簡単に20ノット(約37km/h)までスピードアップします。
ツアー名で「ラフティング」の文字があり急流下りでもないのに、変だなと思っていましたが、体全体で受ける風と波しぶきを浴びると、これだけで爽快感を感じ、アメリカ人はダイナミックな遊びを見つけるのが旨いことをつくづく感じました。
20分程すると、見えました。「イルカの群れ」です。テレビで見たように、追走してくれました。暫く見てると、空中ジャンプ2回捻りを繰り返しやってくれました。遊んでくれていると感じることができ、大満足でした。
キャプテン・クック岬につき、泳げない私達二人にはライフジャケットと円柱状の浮き輪を渡されました。
最初、適当にのんびりプカリと浮きながら海面を見ていたら、突然綺麗なサンゴ礁が見え、よく見ると、本物の色とりどりの熱帯魚がサンゴ礁の周りを泳いでいるのが見えました。夢中になり熱帯魚観察をしているエンゼルフィッシュを見つけました。
潜水艦ツアーなどでサンゴ礁を見る機会がいままで何回もありましたが、これ程カラフルなサンゴ礁と熱帯魚を見たことがありませんでした。
後で、調べてみると、ハワイ島は若い島なので、サンゴ礁の規模が小さく、これが逆に世界的に有数な透明度を誇っているとのことで納得しました。
最後に注意事項ですが、帽子は紐で止めることが出来るものを持参すべし。野球帽では飛ばされてしまい、結果、頭の上が日焼けすることになります。

If you want to see dolphins, Hawaii Island is the place to be! That's why I joined this tour. Actually, I couldn't get a reservation for another tour, so I chose this one, and it might be the best on Hawaii Island, just as the reviews said. I think the facilities and attentiveness were very suitable for Japanese people. Both our guide Leo and Captain Ichiro were friendly and made us feel very secure on the water. We encountered more dolphins than I had expected. It seems that the experience can vary depending on the day's conditions, but I felt like we had ample time. Also, since I got sunburned from kayaking the day before, they recommended some aloe gel from ABC on the way back. I really appreciated their help. I can confidently recommend this tour!
イルカを見るなら大自然のハワイ島だ!ということでこのツアーに参加しました。
実は、他のツアーで予約が取れずこのツアーにしたのですが、
口コミどおり、ハワイ島で一番いいかもしれません。
設備・気遣いともに日本人向きのイルカツアーだったと思います。
ガイドのレオさん・キャプテンのイチローさんともに気さくに接していただき、海の上では非常に頼もしかったです。イルカたちにも期待していた以上に出会うことができました。
その日の状況にもよるようですが、時間も多めにとって頂いた印象です。
また、前日のシーカヤックで日焼けをしすぎた私には、帰りにABCでお勧めのアロエジェルを紹介していただきました。その節は、大変お世話になりました。
このツアー自信を持ってお勧め出来ます。

This was our second time on the Big Island with my husband. Last time, it was winter, so it was a bit chilly, and we couldn't go into the ocean. This time, we wanted to fully enjoy the sea, so we participated in snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, known for its stunning clarity, which is not easily accessible by car.
There was no hotel shuttle, and we had to meet at Honokohau Marina, so I think those without a car should be cautious. We had rented a car for the entire day, so it wasn't an issue for us. The instructions and explanations were all in English, but we received a printed guide in Japanese, so that was not a problem either.
I was surprised by how fast the boat was as we departed, and along the way, we saw a pod of dolphins and a school of flying fish, which was an emotional experience to see up close. The explanations about the lava caves were all in English, so I couldn't understand them, but I was able to feel enough from the printed guide and what I could see.
Furthermore, at Kealakekua Bay, I was amazed by the clarity of the water and the size of the fish. Both my husband and I were captivated, watching the fish. After returning from snorkeling, there was actually a fish book on the boat, and we were excited to find the fish we had just seen up close, exclaiming, "There it is! I saw that!!!"
We also enjoyed lunch, which included sandwiches, drinks, snacks, and fruit, and eating on the boat was exceptionally delicious.
I was moved by everything! I would love to use this service again when we visit the Big Island.
今回旦那と二人で、ハワイ島二回目で、前回は季節が冬だったので肌寒く、海に入れませんでした。
その為今回は、海を満喫しようと思い、車ではなかなか行けず、感動する透明度と名高い、ケアラケクア湾シュノーケルに参加しました。
ホテルからの送迎がなく、ホノコハウ・マリーナ集合の為、車がない方は注意が必要かと思います。
私たちは終日レンタカーを借りていたので、問題なかったです。
また終始英語での注意事項・説明でしたが、日本語のプリントを頂いたので、そこも問題なかったです。
出発して思ってたより速いボートに驚きながらも途中イルカの群れや、トビウオの群れがいて、間近で見ることが出来て感動しました。
溶岩洞窟についての説明は全て英語だったので、理解できませんでしたが、頂いたプリントと目視で充分感じることができました。
更にケアラケクア湾では、海の透明度と魚の大きさに驚きました。
私も旦那も夢中になって、魚を観賞しました。
またシュノーケリングから戻った後も実際にボートに魚の本があり、先ほど間近で見た魚を見つけることが出来て「これいたね!これ見た見た!!!」と興奮。
ランチもサンドイッチとドリンクとスナックとフルーツを頂き、ボートの上で食べるのもまた格別に美味しかったです。
全てに感動しました!またハワイ島に行った際には利用したいです。

My wife and I participated together. Since my wife can't swim, we decided to skip snorkeling and go for the submarine tour instead. We had just visited the "Bunasé Underwater Park" in Okinawa last month, so we weren't too impressed by the fish, but we were amazed that the submarine went down to 30 meters.
妻と二人で参加しました。内の奥さんはカナヅチなのでシュノーケリングへの参加を諦め潜水艦ツアーに決めました。先月沖縄の「ブナセ海中公園海中展望台」に行ったばかりでしたので、魚への感動は余りありませんでしたが、潜水艦が30mも潜水したのには感動しました。

I experienced a two-hour course starting at 2 PM. The first hour was kayaking, followed by 30 minutes of snorkeling and 30 minutes of paddleboarding. Kayaking requires a lot of strength and can be surprisingly tiring, so I was quite satisfied with just one hour. Once you head out to sea, it can get quite bumpy, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're not confident. Since it was just the two of us that day, we were able to go at a leisurely pace, which was very enjoyable. I think it's a great course that allows you to experience a variety of activities in just two hours.
午後14時からの2時間コースを体験しました。初めの1時間はカヤック、そのあと30分シュノ―ケリング、30分パドルボードという感じでした。カヤックは力が必要で意外と疲れるので1時間で十分満足でした。沖に出ると結構揺れるので自信の無い方は酔い止めを飲むことをオススメします。この日は自分たち二人だけだったので、のんびりペースで出来とても楽しかったです。
いろいろ体験出来て2時間のちょうど良いコースだと思います。

We had a very nice time at this luau. The setting was beautiful, the food delicious, plenty of drink available with fast service when refilling, and friendly staff. Something we really liked about this luau compared to one we attended on Maui is that this is a much smaller crowd which was very conducive when refilling beverages and getting your food at the buffet.
We are very happy to know that you have enjoyed our luau. Thank you so much for making us part of your Hawaiian Vacation.

I read in reviews that there would be a long line, so I arrived more than 30 minutes early, but there was already quite a queue. I was a bit worried because it was drizzling, but by the time we were allowed in, it had cleared up, which was a relief. Once seated, all the announcements were in English, so I didn't understand much and just followed the movements of others. At first, we passed by the food line to get drinks like Mai Tai and fruit punch, while others were happily chatting, dancing, and checking out the whole roasted pig. I couldn't join in the conversation due to my limited English, which left me feeling a bit bored. About an hour later, everyone finally started to get their meals, so the two of us went to get ours. There were local dishes like ahi poke and poi, making for quite an enjoyable meal. The luau show that finally started featured a person dressed as King Kamehameha and various dances, and I thought it was well done, just as the reviews had said. As an impatient Japanese person, I felt the pace was a bit slow, but I came to understand that it allowed for a more leisurely enjoyment. I believe it was a show worth the price.
クチコミでかなり並ぶと書いてあったので受付時間より30分以上早く行ったけれど既にかなりの行列になっていた。少し雨がぱらついていたので心配だったけれど入場の頃にはなんとかやんでホッ。席についてからの案内は全て英語なのでよく分からないまま他の人を動きを見ながら最初は食べ物の並んだところを通り過ぎてマイタイとかフルーツポンチなどの飲み物を取りにいき、他の人は楽しくおしゃべりしたり踊ったり豚の丸焼の見学にいったり楽しんでいるけど、こちらはカタコトの英語で会話には加われず、暇を持てあましてしまった。1時間くらいしてからやっとみんなが食事を取り始めたので、私たち二人も取りにいった。アヒポキやポイなど郷土料理もあってなかなか楽しい食事だった。やっと始まったルアウショーはカメハメハ大王に扮した人の入場や各種のダンスなど評判どおりなかなかよくできていたと思う。せっかちな日本人にとってはあまりにも流れが悠長だと感じたが、それはそれでゆっくり楽しめるということでもあると納得。値段に見合ったショーだと思う。

In late April, I joined a tour because I wanted to see wild dolphins. I was amazed at how many there were! I was able to see several baby dolphins as well. The sight of Spinner jumping while spinning was so wonderful and exciting. The captain and the swim guide, Daisuke, were very kind, and the tour was a lot of fun. On the way back, they also showed us a manta ray, and I was moved to see a different side of the manta ray at night. I highly recommend both the night manta ray tour and the daytime dolphin tour! 😊

I visited the Big Island for my honeymoon. I joined this tour to enjoy thrilling experiences and the beautiful sea of Hawaii, and it turned out to be a wonderful memory as I had imagined.
On the day of the tour, it took about 40 minutes by taxi from the hotel where I was staying to the meeting point. After completing the check-in in English, I was handed a Japanese guidebook (about five A4 pages). I'm not very good at English, but I can understand simple Japanese, so please don't worry.
There were a total of 12 participants, including us. There were elderly people and small children as well. Additionally, there was one other Japanese person who could speak both English and Japanese, so they helped us out a lot.
Once we boarded the rubber boat and departed from the port, we picked up quite a bit of speed, feeling like we were on a roller coaster, which was thrilling. The wind felt nice, and the scenery was amazing. We even encountered a whale along the way.
After about 1 hour and 30 minutes, we arrived at Kealakekua Bay for snorkeling. The water was very clear, and we could see coral reefs and beautiful fish.
We snorkeled for about an hour at Kealakekua Bay, and then it was lunchtime on the boat. We had sandwiches, cookies, potato chips, and drinks. After that, we snorkeled for about another hour, thoroughly enjoying the sea of Kealakekua Bay. However, the water temperature was a bit low (late April), so if you stayed in for too long, your body would get quite cold, and the elderly participants went back to the boat early to take a break.
When we returned to the port, we were lucky to see a sea turtle and took some photos.
I was very nervous as I couldn't speak much English, but it seemed that we were fortunate with the people we met. An elderly gentleman from America was very kind to us, and even though we couldn't communicate well, it was a wonderful encounter, and I'm really glad I participated.

約1時間30分程かけて、ケアラケクア湾に到着すると、シュノーケルです。海の中はとても澄んでいて、サンゴ礁や綺麗な魚を見ることができました。
1時間くらいケアケクア湾でシュノーケルしその後ボートの上でランチタイム。サンドイッチとクッキー、ポテトチップ、飲み物などがでました。その後また1時間くらいシュノーケルをしてケアラケクア湾の海をしっかり満喫できました。ただ水温が少し低めだったので(4月の下旬)長く浸かってると体がだいぶ冷え、年配の方は早めにボートに上がって休憩してました。
また港に帰るとウミガメがいて写真も撮れてラッキーでした。
英語がほとんど喋れずとても緊張してましたが、私たちの時は人に恵まれていたみたいでアメリカからきていたおじいさんに親切にしていただいたり言葉は通じないけど、とても素敵な出会いがあり参加して本当に良かったです。

It was a tour with very few Japanese people, but I was extremely satisfied with the wonderful service from all the staff. The hospitality of the staff, who were always smiling, was the best!! I wonder if it's the captain's personality that makes the staff's service so outstanding...
日本人がとても少ないツアーですが、スタッフ全員の素晴らしい対応に大満足しました。

I was torn between a tour to swim with dolphins and this one, but I chose this tour because I wanted to go to Kealakekua Bay. Luckily, on the way there in the rubber boat, we encountered pods of dolphins multiple times! Each time, they stopped the boat to give us plenty of time to watch the dolphins. The dolphins swam right under the boat and next to us, so I felt like I was part of a dolphin tour too! I felt like I enjoyed this more than the dolphin tour I participated in on Oahu.
The day I participated wasn't very sunny, but Kealakekua Bay had incredible clarity and was the best! They also gave us plenty of time to enjoy ourselves, so I was very satisfied!
The travel time in the rubber boat is quite long. We went really fast without wearing life jackets, and there were times when we made sharp turns, so it was very bumpy. I was sitting at the front, so I felt like I was floating and it was a bit scary. But I thought it was much more fun than traveling by a regular boat.
イルカと泳ぐツアーと迷いましたが、ケアラケクア湾へ行きたかったのでこちらのツアーに参加しました。
ラッキーなことにゴムボートで湾まで移動する途中、何度もイルカの群れに遭遇!その度にボートを止めてたっぷりとイルカを見る時間を作ってくれました。
何度もボートの下やすぐ横をイルカが通ってくれたので、イルカのツアーにも参加した気分♪
オアフで参加したイルカのツアーより堪能できた気分でした♪
参加した日はあまり天気の良くない日でしたが、ケアラケクア湾は透明度抜群で最高!こちらでもあきるほどたっぷり時間を作ってくれたので大満足でした!
ゴムボートでの移動時間は結構長いです。ライフジャケットも付けずにすごいスピードで走るし、ときどき旋回もするので、すごく揺れます。私は一番前に座っていたので、体が浮いて怖かったです。でも船で移動よりずーっと楽しいと思いましたよ。

The guides were knowledgable and friendly. They were attentive to the needs and comfort of the passengers. My 8 yr old grandson was given the cushioned seat in the center (also the safest) and they even provided a life jacket. We saw a Humpback family group that breached numerous times. It was great! The disclaimer says it is not for those with mobility issues or bad backs, etc - believe them! Seating is on the side pontoons and would definitely be very uncomfortable for someone like my husband, who has 2 hip replacements (he did not go with us). I definitely recommend this activity!

A friend of mine, who was experiencing Hawaii Island for the first time with children, said this tour was incredibly impressive. They thoroughly enjoyed the ocean around Hawaii Island. They were very satisfied to see dolphins, whales, and even turtles after disembarking. The captain's service was also enthusiastic, making the boat rush towards the shore and eliciting screams.
My wife, who cannot move her left hand due to the aftereffects of a stroke, was also very satisfied as she could enjoy snorkeling thanks to the life vest. However, she mentioned that holding on in the side boat made her hands extremely tired. It would be ideal to have a bit more space to sit facing forward.
I will also share the relevant part of my blog. This tour is an absolute recommendation for fully enjoying Hawaii Island. Thank you very much.

知人が子供連れかつハワイ島初体験だったのですが、このツアーが最高に印象的だったと申しています。ハワイ島の海を満喫できました。イルカや鯨、果ては下船後カメも観られて大満足。船長さんのサービス精神も旺盛で、岸に向かって突進して悲鳴を上げさせたり。
脳梗塞の後遺症で左手が動かない妻も、ライフベストのおかげでシュノーケルまで楽しめて大満足。ただ、横乗りのボートはしがみつくのに手が疲れきったと言っています。前向きに乗るスペースも少しあれば理想です。

We are a family that participated on March 26. Thank you, Captain, Daisuke, and Kiwami, for your care.
Although the number of participants that day was fewer than usual, we were able to stay close to the dolphin group the entire time. Our eldest son was thrilled to swim alongside the dolphins, our second son was overjoyed to get close to them, and our youngest (6 years old) enjoyed watching the dolphins swimming in the ocean, even though it got cold and we had to return to the boat early; he said he had fun talking with the captain. The father was captivated by the dolphins' cuteness, while the mother felt like she became part of the group as they swam after the dolphins. Each of us was able to create unforgettable memories. In the family photo taken as we were leaving, everyone had smiles we had never seen before (laughs).
Not only was the encounter with the dolphins memorable, but the lively way the staff enjoyed their work also left a strong impression. The children were moved by it as well. Daisuke introduced us to his dolphin friend, and it felt like we had entered a different world from our everyday lives. Running over the waves in the blue sea, feeling the wind, was as fun as an attraction.
The hamburger shop recommended by everyone after the tour was delicious and had a great atmosphere; it was the best! Thank you for everything! We want to create another opportunity to meet the dolphins and everyone again!
To fully enjoy this dream-like moment, I think a waterproof digital camera, motion sickness medication, and a thick (warm) bath towel for those with small children are essential. Also, ginger candy was helpful for a bit of motion sickness.
3月26日に参加した一家です。キャプテン、ダイスケさん、きわみさん、お世話になりました。
その日は数自体は普段より少ないとのことでしたが、その分そのイルカさんグループとずっと一緒に、すぐ近いところにいることができました。
イルカと並走できたという長男、イルカに接近できて大喜びの次男、海を泳ぐイルカを見る事ができ、寒くなって早めにボートにあがったけど、キャプテンと話すのが楽しかったと言う三男坊(6歳)。
イルカの可愛さに魅せられた父に、イルカさんグループを追いかけて泳ぐうちに仲間になったような気分になった母。それぞれが、一生ものの思い出を心に刻む事ができました。帰り際に撮っていただいた家族写真にも、皆、普段見た事の無いような笑顔で写っていました(笑)
イルカさんたちとの出会いのみならず、スタッフの皆さんの生き生きとお仕事を楽しんでおられる姿も、強く印象に残りました。子供たちも感銘を受けていました。ダイスケさんのおともだちイルカも紹介してもらったりして、なんか普段生きている世界とは別の世界に行ったようでした。青い海を、風を受け波を乗り越えながら走っている時も、何かのアトラクションのように楽しかったです。
ツアー終了後に行った、皆さんお勧めのハンバーガーショップも、おいしくて雰囲気よくて、最高でした!なにからなにまで、ありがとうございました!
また機会を作って、イルカちゃんたちや皆さんに会いにいきたいです!
この夢のようなひと時をフルに楽しむために、防水デジカメと、酔い止めと、ちいさい子連れの方は厚手の(あたたかい)バスタオルが必須かと思いました。それに、ちょっとした酔いに、生姜飴が役に立ちました。

It was my first time on the Big Island, so I decided to immerse myself in the Hawaiian atmosphere by participating. There were hardly any Japanese people, and I didn't understand much of what was being said, but I enjoyed the show itself. The meal was BBQ, which was decent, but the portions were generous, and the drinks were all-you-can-drink, with the Mai Tai being delicious. Since we participated on the first day we arrived, my child was half asleep, but it seems they were satisfied with the meal. The luau show offers a great taste of Hawaiian culture, so I recommend participating at least once.
初めてのハワイ島でしたので、まずはハワイアンな雰囲気に浸ろうと参加しました。ほとんど日本人はいませんでしたし、言っていることもよくわかりませんでしたが、ショー自体は楽しめました。食事はBBQなのでそれなりでしたが、ボリュームは満点、飲み物も飲み放題で、マイタイがおいしかったです。着いた初日に参加したので子供は半分寝ていましたが、食事は満足したようです。ルアウショーはハワイ情緒が十分味わえますので、一度は参加をお勧めします。

We visited with our family of three (10-year-old boy) on March 27, 2013. The water was very clear, and we were able to see many tropical fish. However, since the water temperature wasn't very high, it was too cold for long snorkeling sessions. But we had a great time with activities like the slide and jumping from the Fair Wind boat, which were fun for the kids. Additionally, since breakfast and lunch were included, we were able to make good use of our time before and after the tour, which was very nice.
2013/3/27に家族3人(10歳/男)で行ってきました。
水の透明度も高く、熱帯魚を沢山見ることができました。
ただし、水温があまり高くないため、寒くて長時間のシュノーケンリングは無理でしたが、滑り台や、フェアウィンド号からのジャンプなど、子供にとっては楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
また、朝食、昼食付きだったので、ツアー前後の時間を有効に使えて、とても良かったです。

I had heard from my parents about their trip to see the lava before I was born, and I was really looking forward to this helicopter tour. The weather in Waikoloa was great, but there were a lot of clouds in the direction of Mauna Kea, which made me a bit anxious. Unfortunately, my worries came true, and due to bad weather, the tour to see the lava in Hilo was canceled. I was extremely sad, but I felt relieved knowing that the staff prioritized safety. The Japanese pilot mentioned that Waipi'o Valley is also wonderful, and that it was okay to cancel. He even said that they would refund the entire tour fee, so I asked my parents if we could go on the tour just to Waipi'o Valley. I had been on a helicopter in Japan before, but when we took off and flew over the vast land of the Big Island, I was moved by its grandeur. There were a few clouds and it rained a bit along the way, but flying over Waipi'o Valley felt like entering a completely different world, almost like a dream. I saw many waterfalls flowing between the valleys, and I wanted to drink from them. It was a little scary flying through the valley, but even at 12 years old, I was able to experience a lot of emotions.
私は、私が生まれる前に、パパやママが溶岩を見に行ったことを聞かせれていて、この遊覧飛行をとても楽しみにしていました。ワイコロアはとても天気が良かったのですが、マウナケアの方角は雲が多っかたので、ちょっと不安でした。不安は当り、天候が悪いので、溶岩が見れるヒロ方面はツアーが中止になってくれました。ものすごく悲しかったけれど、安全を第一に考えてくれるスタッフの皆さんに、残念な気持ちと裏腹に安堵の感がありました。日本人のパイロットの人が、ワイピオ渓谷も素晴らしいですよ、でもキャンセルしても構いません。ツアー料金は全て返しますとまで言ってくれて、パパとママにお願いをしてワイピオ渓谷のみのツア-に行くことにしました。日本でヘリコプタ-には乗ったことがあったけど、離陸のとき、ハワイ島の大地を飛んでいくとき、その広大な迫力に感動しました。少し雲があったり、途中で雨が降ってきたけれど、ワイピオ渓谷、まるで違う世界にきたような、夢をみているような感じがしました。渓谷の合間から流れ出る、たくさんの滝、飲んでみたくなりました。渓谷の中を飛んでいるときちょっと怖かったけれど、12歳の私でも多くの感動を味わうことができました。

Our greeter was just outside the security terminal at Kona airport. She was holding a sign with our name on it. She was on-time, very friendly and helpful. She welcomed us to the Island, called us by our firest names and presented the Lei's over our heads. She even directed us where to go to get our luggage.
The Lei's were large, colorful and full. My concern was the condition the flowers were in. They appeared old, and wilted. For $80.00 I expected fresh flowers. We cared for them when we got to our condo and use them the next night at a Luau. They were not very pretty by then however.

I was drawn to the phrases "rafting" and "lava cave," so I decided to participate. When I arrived at the meeting place, there were about 30 people, all foreigners. There wasn't much explanation, and we were quickly divided into two groups and taken to the nearby boat launch, where we set off immediately.
As we headed out, the captain provided some safety instructions, but for Japanese participants, they handed out a manual saying, "Please read this." Once we left the bay, we sped up significantly, and the waves were quite high, causing the boat to bounce a lot, which was quite thrilling.
On our way to Kealakekua Bay, we saw about four or five dolphins, but swimming with them was prohibited, which was a bit disappointing. We had about an hour and a half for snorkeling, but the water temperature was low, and I didn't swim for even an hour. It seemed like the foreigners had a different tolerance for the cold, as they went back in to swim again after eating sandwiches.
On the way back, we encountered quite a few dolphins, and seeing them swim alongside the boat was a highlight. The speed increased even more, making it quite a challenge to hold on, but it was also a fun experience.
We stopped the boat near the cliffs, and they explained various things about the rock formations, but we didn't go through any caves, which was very disappointing. Overall, I think it was an interesting activity, thanks to the staff's attentiveness.
ラフティングと溶岩洞窟というフレーズに惹かれて、参加しました。
集合場所に行ったところ、30人くらいいましたが全て外国人。そこでは特に説明もなく、2組に分かれて、すぐ近くのボート乗り場に行き、すぐに出発でした。
沖に出る間にキャプテンから注意点の説明がありましたが、日本人には「ここを読んで」ということで説明書をくれます。
湾を出たころから猛スピードで進み、波も結構高かったことからボートも大きくバウンドし、かなりの迫力でした。
ケアラケクア湾につく間に4,5頭のイルカがいましたが、一緒に泳ぐことは禁止され、やや残念な思いが。
シュノーケリングは、1時間半くらいの時間がありましたが、水温が低く、1時間も泳ぎませんでした。外国人は皮膚感覚が違うのか、サンドイッチなどを食べた後でもまた泳ぎに行っていました。
帰りにもかなりのイルカに遭遇し、ボートに並走する姿は中々見所がありました。スピードも更にアップし、踏ん張るのが大変でしたが、これも楽しい経験でした。
岸壁近くでボートを止め、岩の形がどうのとか色々と説明してくれましたが、洞窟をくぐるようなことはなく、これは非常に残念でした。
その他は、スタッフの気遣いもあり、面白いアクティビティだと思います。

There were 10 participants, and we were the only Japanese among them; the rest were from the mainland United States.
You need to go to the reception area by yourself, and they do not understand Japanese at all. All the explanations on the boat are in English. If you understand a little English, it shouldn't be a problem.
We traveled to Kealakekua Bay on a large rubber boat, which goes fast and tilts at an angle, so my arms got tired from supporting my body.
The snorkeling spot is beautiful, but there are few shallow areas, and I felt that I didn't see as many types of fish as I had hoped.
Since we went in mid-January, it was a bit chilly once we got back on the boat.
We didn't see any dolphins, but we were able to see whales from a distance.
I thought we would be able to enter the cave since it was called a cave adventure, but we only viewed the lava from afar and received some explanations. I couldn't understand the English, but we could see the island of Hawaii from the sea and the boat, so I think it was enjoyable beyond just snorkeling.

I participated alone at the end of February, and since there were only three of us that day, it felt almost like a private tour. With our instructor Daisuke and the skilled captain, we headed out on the boat, and when we dove in, there were over 200 dolphins! There were so many that day, and I was amazed to see large manta rays and whales swimming beneath the boat. I was told that such an experience is truly rare.
I'm not very good at snorkeling, but Daisuke helped me relax and pulled me along at the same speed and direction as the dolphins, so I could trust him completely. I could even hear the dolphins making sounds!
I highly recommend this tour. If I have the chance to visit the Big Island again, I would love to participate in the tour and express my gratitude to both of them.

I wasn't sure what Ocean Rafting would be like, so I thought we would be rowing with paddles ourselves, but it turned out to be a thrilling tour on an engine-powered rubber boat. Right from the start, we made sharp turns as we headed out to sea, and there were moments when it felt like we were about to hit the cliffs, which was quite exhilarating. The captain was very enthusiastic, chasing whales and weaving under skydivers. We went out to sea multiple times, using sonar to search for whales. Thanks to that, we were able to do whale watching several times, but by the end, my backside was quite sore, and I was feeling like, "Okay, that's enough!" After snorkeling, lunch included fruits and snacks, and the sandwiches were quite good, making it a fun experience. There were two of them, the captain and a female assistant, and they were very efficient in preparing the snorkeling gear and lunch, which made everything feel pleasant.
オーシャンラフティングってどういう風なのかわからなかったので、自分たちでオールでこいだりするのかと思ていたのですが、、、エンジン付きゴムボートでビュンビュん飛ばすツアーでした。最初から沖へ出るときに急旋回したり岸壁にあたりそうになって急停止したりとスリル満点。。。クジラを追いかけたりスカイダイバーの下をすり抜けたりとキャプテン(船頭さん)はサービス精神旺盛でした。クジラを追いかけ何回も沖に出て、ソナーを駆使し探しました。おかげで何回もホエールウぉッチングできましたが、、、最後はかなりお尻が痛くてもういいよぉ〜って感じもなきにしもあらず。。。。シュノーケリングの後の昼食はフルーツありスナック菓子あり、、、サンドイッチもなかなかで楽しかったです。キャプテンと助手の女性の二人でしたがシュノーケリングの際の用具の準備やお昼の準備など手際もよく気持ちよかったです。
