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＞

It became a wonderful memory for our 25th wedding anniversary. 結婚25周年の素晴らしい思い出になりました

Reviewed by: hiroko

My husband and I participated together, and I finally fulfilled my long-time dream of "swimming with dolphins"! A group of dolphins swam gracefully by, close enough that I felt I could reach out and touch them! There were also adorable baby dolphins. While we couldn't play with them, I was so happy to hear their voices.

The dolphins' performance is a must-see! They followed the boat and surfed, showing off impressive jumps with twists, just like Kohei Uchimura.

For those who share a dream like mine, I highly recommend participating. My husband joined reluctantly, showing no interest, but he ended up quite excited, snapping photos with an underwater camera. Later, he said, "That was pretty good."

Are you afraid of swimming in the ocean? No worries! You can borrow a float called a noodle. Plus, the guide holds your arm firmly, so you can feel safe (they took great care of both of us).

Worried about not seeing well underwater? No problem! You can borrow a prescription mask. My husband has terrible nearsightedness, but he enjoyed it.

Both the guide and the captain were very cheerful and kind. They seemed to find purpose in making sure we had a great time.

We also observed an activity at the hotel where you can interact with dolphins, but I thought that if you're going to spend that much money, this experience is definitely the better choice.

I created wonderful memories for a lifetime. Thank you!

主人と2人で参加しました　「イルカと泳ぐ」という長年の夢をやっと果たせました！少し近寄れば触れそうなところを悠然とイルカの群れが泳いでいくのです！かわいい子供イルカもいました　いっしょに遊ぶことはできませんが、イルカたちの声も聞けてとても嬉しかったです
それにイルカたちのパフォーマンスは必見です！
船の後についてきてサーフィンしたり、内村航平ばりのひねりの入ったジャンプを何度も見せてくれました
私のような夢を持っていらっしゃる方、ぜひ参加して下さい
主人は何の興味もなく仕方なく参加したのですが、結構興奮して水中カメラでパシャパシャ撮ってました　後で聞くと「なかなかよかったなあ」とのことでした
海で泳ぐのは怖い？　心配要りません！　ヌードルと呼ばれるうきを貸してもらえます　それにガイドさんがしっかり腕をにぎっていてくださるので安心です（主人と2人大変お世話になりました）　
目が悪いから水中はよく見えない？　大丈夫です！　度付きマスクを貸してもらえます　主人はひどい近眼ですが楽しめましたよ
ガイドさんも船長さんもとても陽気でいい方でした
それに私達を楽しませることに生きがいを感じていらっしゃるような方たちです
ホテルでイルカと触れ合うアクティビティもあり見学しましたが、あれだけのお金を出すなら絶対こっちの方が正解だと思いました
一生のいい思い出ができました　ありがとうございました

It was truly wonderful to encounter wild sea turtles and dolphins up close while cruising on a rubber boat. Additionally, the thrilling cruise led by the captain kept us smiling the whole time. However, since all the explanations during the cruise were in English, I highly recommend this tour if you understand English.

ゴムボートでのクルージングで、さわれる位置まで野生の海ガメやイルカに出会えて本当に素敵でした。
更にキャプテンよる迫力あるクルージングは笑顔もたえなかったです。
ただクルージングの際に説明が全て英語だったので、英語さえわかればとってもおすすめなツアーです。

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

Ride on a speedboat. 高速ボートに乗って

Reviewed by: akki

First, I was told that I needed to reconfirm my reservation, but when I called, they said that if I had questions about directions or anything else, I should call, but if not, there was no need to call. I felt a bit let down by that. Since it was a morning tour, I parked my rental car at the free parking lot past the nearby ABC Mart. There are restrooms at the pier, and while it's possible to change there, as others have mentioned, it's better to come dressed for the occasion. On the day of the tour, staff members came under a green tent, and after handing over the voucher, I received a colored card that corresponds to the boat we would be taking. Groups were divided by the color of the card, and we signed a liability waiver, but there was no Japanese version of the form available when we went. After signing, we boarded the rubber boat by group and set off. Until we reached the bay, we made sudden turns and sped along at an incredible pace. We stopped at a spot where there were lots of dolphins, and they took their time there, providing excellent service. It was really fun, but my 70-year-old mother kept saying how scared she was. On the way back, she seemed to be enjoying it more, perhaps because she got used to it. The snorkeling was just okay. The clarity wasn't as good as I expected, and there weren't a huge variety of tropical fish. Still, I had a great time. The staff were very cheerful and fun, and I felt a bit guilty for needing their support for my elderly mother.

まず、予約の再確認が必要とのことでしたが、電話してみたら、行き方や他に何かわからないことがある場合は電話して聞く必要があるけど、特にそういうことでなければ電話は別にいらないわよ~と電話口で言われました。な~んだ、と拍子抜けはしました。当日は朝のツアーだったので、近くのABCマートの先にある無料駐車場にレンタカーを止めて参加。桟橋にトイレもあり、着替えもできないこともないのですが、皆さんの書き込み通り着替えていった方がベターです。当日緑のテントの下にスタッフの人が来て、バウチャーを渡すと乗るボートごとに色分けしたカードをもらえます。その色のカードを持っているグループごとに分かれ、いろいろ書いた責任注意事項の用紙にサインをしますが、私たちの時には書き込みにある日本語の用紙はありませんでした。サインした後、グループごとにゴムボートに乗り込み出発。湾に到着するまで、急に曲がったり、ものすごいスピードで突っ走ります。途中イルカがいっぱいいるところで止まってくれて、時間を取ってくれたり、サービス満点。本当に楽しいけど、７０歳の母はただ怖い怖いと言い続けてました。帰りは慣れてきたのか、楽しそうでしたが。シュノーケルはまぁまぁです。思ったほどの透明度はなく、魚も物凄い種類の熱帯魚がいるということではないので。それでも十分楽しめました。スタッフの方も凄い明るく楽しい人達で、７０歳の老人のサポートをしてくれて、申し訳なかったなぁとも思います。

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ（キングカメハメハホテル内）＜ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題／シェルレイ付＞

Luau show in heavy rain 大雨のルアウショー

Reviewed by: コナ子

I had heard that the Kona area has little rain, but it seems this year has been quite rainy, and the day we attended the luau show was a disaster (crying).

First, we checked in at the luau desk in the hotel. It was popular, so there was a line, but it was completed smoothly. However, when we went out to the beach, there was a long line. The host was speaking amusingly, but those in the back couldn't hear at all. After entering, I purchased a women's dendrobium lei for $6 and a men's kukui lei for $5. We took a commemorative photo here, but due to the chaos from the heavy rain afterward, photos were not available for purchase anywhere.

We were seated at a table with Americans, greeting and shaking hands. Drinks were free, but since there was only one lady serving, there was another long line. The meal included poi and about three types of meat. The taste was American-style, which I liked.

Just as the meal began, it started to rain... what began as a light drizzle quickly turned into a decent downpour, and everyone was given bath towels to cover their heads. The tablecloth, the trays with food, and everything got soaked from the rain. The drinks were diluted by the rainwater.

Originally, there were supposed to be various activities before the meal, but as the rain intensified, everything was cleared away in about 15 minutes. We couldn't participate in anything. There was no whole roasted pig either. The main show ended up being super fast-paced and finished in no time (laughs). It was supposed to end after 8 PM, but surprisingly, it wrapped up by 6:30 PM, and the band, food, and audience all cleared out immediately.

Despite this disappointing experience, only a few people left their seats, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves to some extent until the end. I had high expectations based on good reviews, and since it was my first day on the Big Island, I was really looking forward to it, but it ended up being a letdown. I'm unsure if I would want to see it again next time.

コナ地区は雨が少ないと聞いていたが、今年は雨が多いらしく、私達がこのルアウショーに参加した日はさんざんでした（泣）

まずホテル内のルアウデスクでチェックイン。やはり人気で並んでましたがこれは簡単スムーズに完了。
しかしビーチに出てみると長蛇の列。司会進行役が面白おかしく喋っていますが、後方には全く聞こえず。
入場してから女性用デンファレレイを＄６で購入、男性用のククイレイは＄５。ここで記念写真を撮りますが、この後の大雨のバタバタで写真販売はどこでもされておらず買えず仕舞。

通された席はアメリカの方たちと同じテーブルで、挨拶したり握手したり。
ドリンクはフリーですが、おばちゃん一人で対応しているのでこれまた長蛇の列。食事はポイなどもあり、お肉の種類も３種類ほどありました。味もアメリカンな味で私は好きです。
さて食事が始まってすぐに雨が,,,小雨だったの束の間、そこそこの雨が降り出し、全員にバスタオルが配られ皆が頭からすっぽり白いタオルをずっとかぶってました。テーブルクロスも食事の入ったトレーも料理も全部雨でぐしょぐしょ。グラスのお酒は雨で薄まって水になってました。

本来なら食事前に色んなアクティビティがあったようですが、雨が強くなってどれも１５分ほどで撤収。何も参加できず。豚の丸焼きもありませんでした。
肝心のショーも超早送りであれよあれよという間に終わって（笑）２０時過ぎ終了予定がなんと１８時半には終わって、バンドも料理も観客も即撤収。
そんな散々な内容でしたが、席を立つ人は数名だけで、みんな最後までそれなりに楽しんでいました。

口コミも良く、初ハワイ島初日だったので期待していましたが、残念な結果に終わってしまいました。次回もう一回観るかは悩むなー

ケアウホウ湾シーカヤック＆シュノーケルツアー　海中洞窟探検プランあり　＜早朝・午前／日本語ガイド＞by キング・カヤック・ハワイ

A beautiful blue sea and a gentle instructor. 綺麗な青い海と優しいインストラクター

Reviewed by: いわき

I participated in the first day of my honeymoon trip on September 20th.

It was my first time kayaking, but Noni, the female instructor, kindly taught me in Japanese, and Kevin, the other instructor, created a very enjoyable atmosphere in Japanese as well.

Kayaking while gazing at the beautiful blue sea and magnificent scenery was truly refreshing and an amazing experience!!!

The mystical experience inside the cave was also fantastic.

During snorkeling, we encountered large sea urchins and beautifully colored fish, and we even saw a sea turtle while we were there!! During the break, we dove in, lay on the lava, and took a natural lava bath nap. Above all, the pineapple we had after coming out of the sea was incredibly delicious.

It might require a bit of physical strength, but even beginners can easily kayak. If you are prone to motion sickness, it's definitely better to take some medication beforehand, as it could ruin the fun of the tour... I felt a bit nauseous myself...

On the way back, Noni kindly recommended some delicious restaurants near our hotel ( *^_^* ).

Thank you, Kevin and Noni, for your kind guidance and for providing such a fun experience!!!

9月20日に新婚旅行1日目に参加させていただきました。

初めてのカヤックでしたが、初めに女性のノニさんに日本語で優しく教えていただきインストラクターのケビンさんも、日本語でとても楽しい雰囲気の中参加することができました。

綺麗な青い海や壮大な景色を眺めながらのカヤック。本当に気持ち良くて最高の体験！！！

洞窟の中の神秘的な体験も最高です。

シュノーケリングでは、大きなうにや綺麗な色の魚、私たちが参加した時にはウミガメにも出会うことができました！！
休憩では、ダイブをしたり、溶岩の上で寝転がり天然の溶岩浴でお昼寝。何より海からあがってから頂いたパイナップルがおいしすぎました。

ちょっと体力が必要かな？と思いますが…初めてでも簡単にカヤックができます。乗り物酔いをする方は絶対に酔い止めを飲んでおいたほうがいいです。せっかくの楽しいツアーが台無しになるので…。私はちょっと気持ち悪くなってしまいました…。
帰りはノニさんにホテル近くのおいしいレストランなども教えていただきました（*^_^*）

ケビンさんノニさん優しく教えていただき、楽しい体験をさせていただきありがとうございました！！！

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＞

We participated with our family of three on September 16th! ９月１６日に家族3人で参加しました！

Reviewed by: S.T

We participated as a family of three with our 10-year-old son. This was our first experience with snorkeling, and despite not being great swimmers, we wanted to swim with dolphins. After considering various options, we decided to join Mr. Nawata's tour! The reasons were the small group size of eight people and the five-star service from the staff.

Having actually participated, I can confidently say that choosing this tour was the right decision! Mr. Nawata took great care of our son, allowing him to see the dolphins up close, which made him extremely happy! We were also able to chase the dolphins without worrying about our son (though we were quite busy with our own excitement).

Here are the good points about participating in Mr. Nawata's tour:
- With a maximum of eight participants, we didn't waste time getting on and off the boat, which increased our opportunities to swim with the dolphins (larger boats tend to take longer).
- The boat was specifically for snorkeling, so we were close to the water's surface, making it completely non-threatening for us, even as beginners.
- The staff were very attentive. As mentioned, Mr. Nawata was dedicated to taking care of our son, allowing him to see the dolphins up close. Swim guide Michi and the captain also constantly pointed out where the dolphins were so that participants could see them well!
- Even as first-time snorkelers who couldn't swim well, we were able to use a floating device, which allowed us to chase the dolphins with confidence.

You may already know this, but my wife, who has poor eyesight, had no issues wearing disposable contact lenses. I was able to borrow prescription goggles, which helped me see the dolphins clearly.

I would love to participate again next year.

Lastly, thank you, Michi, for sending the wonderful dolphin photos. I'm using one as my phone wallpaper!

10歳の息子と一緒に家族3人で参加しました。シュノーケリングは家族3人初めての経験で、あまり泳げないにもかかわらずイルカと一緒に泳ぎたくて、いろいろと検討した結果、縄田さんのツアーに参加！その理由は８名という少人数が定員ということと、スタッフの対応が五つ星ということ。
実際に参加しての実感はこのツアーを選んで大正解！
息子には縄田さんが付きっきりで面倒を見ていただけたので、誰よりもイルカを近くで見ることができ、大満足！私たちも息子を心配せずに（というか自分のことでいっぱいいっぱいでしたが。。。）イルカを追いかけることができました。

縄田さんのツアーに実際に参加して良かった点は、次のとおりです。
？定員８名なので、船のあがりおりに時間がかからず、イルカと一緒に泳ぐ機会が増える（大規模な船だとあがりおりに時間がかかるようです）。
？ボートがシュノーケル専用のボートとのことで、海面からの距離が近く、まったく経験のない私たちでも海に飛び込むことがまったく怖くありませんでした。
？スタッフの面倒見が非常に良い。上述のとおり、息子は縄田さんに付きっきりで面倒をみてもらったので、近くでイルカを見れて大満足。スイムガイドのミチさんやキャプテンも参加者にイルカをたくさん見てもらうためにどこにイルカがいるのか常に指し示してくれました！
？泳げないシュノーケリング初めての私たちでも棒状の浮き輪？を使えるので、安心してイルカを追いかけることができました。

また皆さんはご存知のことかもしれませんが、目が悪い妻は使い捨てコンタクトをつけたままでもまったく支障はなかったとのことでした。視力が0.1程度の私は度付きのゴーグルを借りることができましたので、イルカをよく見ることができました。

また来年も参加したいと思います。

最後にミチさん、ステキなイルカの写真を送って頂きありがとうございました。

I absolutely recommend it! 絶対おすすめです！

Reviewed by: ミゲル

I participated on September 22nd. I have experienced diving and snorkeling in various islands, including overseas, but swimming close to wild dolphins and hearing their voices live was a first for me, and it was an emotional experience that is hard to put into words. The guides, Mr. Nawata and Ms. Tsuyako, were very kind and provided heartfelt guidance. They help ensure that even solo participants or those who are not very comfortable in the water can enjoy the experience. What impressed me the most was the enthusiasm they showed in wanting to convey the beauty of Hawaii to the guests. When we returned to the port, we took a moment to search for whales, as it was mentioned that they had arrived early in Hawaii this year. Unfortunately, we couldn't spot any, but more than anything, I was reminded of the "curiosity" and excitement that I often forget in the urban life of Tokyo. I heard that in winter, you can meet whales, so I hope to come back someday to see them.
It's a wonderful recommended tour that is small in number, homey, safe, and truly moving!

９月２２日に参加しました。ダイビングやシュノーケリングを海外を含む色々な島で経験してきましたが、野生のイルカの間近で泳ぐ体験、イルカの声を生で聞く経験は初めてで、言葉で表現するのは難しいくらいの感動を味わうことができました。　ガイドの縄田さんと、つやこさんはとても親切で心のこもったガイドをしてくれました。ひとり参加や、海があまり得意でない人でもエンジョイできるように誘導してくれます。私が印象的だったのは、ハワイの素晴らしさをゲストに伝えようとしてくれる熱意を感じたことです。最後に帰港する際、今年はクジラが早くハワイ島にやってきたということで、しばしクジラ探しをしました。残念ながら目撃することはできませんでしたが、何より東京の都会では普段忘れている「好奇心」やワクワクする気持ちをかき立ててもらえました。冬ならクジラに会えるそうなので、いつか会いに来たいと思います。
　人数も少なめで、アットホームかつ安全で感動できる素晴らしいおすすめツアーです！

We participated as a couple on September 13th! ９月１３日に夫婦で参加しました♪

Reviewed by: Y.O

Thank you very much for your support on September 13th. Thanks to Mr. Nawata and swim guide Michi, I had a very enjoyable dolphin swim. Michi even said, "It's been a while since I've seen dolphins in such a playful mood!" I was very satisfied with how much fun the dolphins had with us! I believe even those who can't swim can feel safe swimming with the dolphins with the support of floatation devices and the swim guides.

The dolphin swim involves chasing after dolphins that are moving south, and it’s a repetitive process of chasing and swimming. Aloha Kona Tours has a capacity of 8 people (there were 6 during my time), so compared to tours with 20 people, the boarding and disembarking is quicker, allowing for more time swimming with the dolphins. While you can't know for sure until you go, there are many boats out in the ocean for dolphin tours, and some are quite large. Aloha Kona Tours is definitely a better deal!

By the way, the boat (about a 20-minute ride) can be quite rocky, so motion sickness medication is a must. If you get sick, you won't be able to enjoy it. Also, if you bring a hat, make sure it has a strap to keep it secure, or it will get blown away. On the way there, a swimsuit is fine, but on the way back, since your body will be wet and cold, it’s good to have a light jacket. I brought an underwater camera, but I was so focused on watching the dolphins that I only managed to take one decent photo (；；). However, I think it’s more important to see them with your own eyes first, so I wish I had just recorded in movie mode instead of worrying about photos.

If you write your email address in Michi's sign book, she will send you the photos she took of the dolphins later (they're really well taken!). I'm grateful for that☆

Next time, I want to be able to dive down to 3 meters for the dolphin swim (I've heard it gives you a greater sense of "swimming together"). Thank you so much again!!

９月１３日は大変お世話になりました。
縄田さんとスインムガイドのミチさんにしっかりサポートしていただいたおかげで、とても楽しいドルフィンスイムになりました。
ミチさんも「こんなに遊びモードのイルカは久しぶり！」と言っていたほど、イルカにたくさん遊んでもらえて大満足でした！
泳げない人でも浮輪とスイムガイドさんのサポートで安心してイルカと泳げると思いますよ。

ドルフィンスイムは南下して移動してくるイルカを追いかけて泳ぐ→追いかけて泳ぐ→追いかけて泳ぐという繰り返しなのですが、アロハコナツアーズさんは定員８名なので（私の時は６名でした）、２０名い乗ってるツアーなどに比べて乗り降りが早くイルカと泳ぐ時間が長いようです。
行ってみないと分からないですが、海にはイルカツアーのたくさんの船が出ていて、かなり大所帯の船もありました。
絶対アロハコナツアーズさんの方がお得ですよ~☆

ちなみにボート（片道２０分ほど）はなかり揺れるので、酔い止め必須です。酔ってしまっては楽しめないので。
また、帽子は紐付きで固定できる物でないと飛ばされてしまうので持って行っても意味ないです。
行きのボートは水着だけで大丈夫ですが、帰りは体が濡れて冷えているので薄い上着が一枚あるといいです。
私は水中カメラを持って行ったのですが、イルカを見るのに夢中でちゃんと撮れたのは１枚くらいでした（；；）
でもまずは肉眼でちゃんと見るのが優先だと思うので、写真は諦めてムービーモードで回していれば良かったと思いました・・・。

でもミチさんのサイン帳にＰＣのアドレスを書くと、後日ミチさんが撮ったイルカの写真が送られてきますよ。（とっても良く撮れてます！）
感謝です☆

今度は３メートルでも潜れるようになってドルフィンスイムに臨みたいと思います。（もっと「一緒に泳いでいる」感覚になれるとのことです。）
本当にありがとうございました！！

Dolphins in front and dolphins behind. 前にもイルカ、後ろにもイルカ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I had experience with dolphin watching, but I joined the tour expecting to swim with them. I thought we would only see them from a distance in the water, but they actually swam right next to us. I was captivated watching a baby dolphin nudging its mother and two dolphins racing alongside each other. As I got distracted by the dolphins behind me, I noticed there were dolphins on the side as well! Before entering the water, our guides, Mr. Nawata and Ms. Michi, told us to constantly be aware of our surroundings, and I found that to be true (laughs).

I was amazed that we could see them up close. Mr. Nawata mentioned, "They might not come close because they have a baby with them," and Ms. Michi added, "They are swimming fast today." I was surprised to learn that wild dolphins sometimes swim closer and slower.

It wasn't just the dolphins that impressed me. On this day, we had a hard time finding dolphins and spent quite a bit of time searching, but the staff worked hard to ensure that participants could see as many dolphins as possible. Once we found them and entered the water, the captain pointed out where the dolphins were from the boat, while the two guides continuously signaled us from the water. After the tour, Ms. Michi kindly offered to send me the dolphin photos she took, so I shared my email address, and she promptly sent me some amazing, clear images. We had tried to take pictures ourselves, but we couldn't keep up with the dolphins' speed, so I was very grateful for her thoughtful gesture.

The conversations on the boat were enjoyable, and they shared various ways to enjoy the Big Island. I think the tour was even more enjoyable because all the staff were genuinely pleasant. There were first-time snorkelers and elementary school children on this trip, and the attention given to them was very detailed, making it a tour that beginners could join with confidence.

The boat was a small one with a capacity of eight participants, which actually turned out to be good for swimming with the dolphins. We would find the dolphins and then enter the water ahead of where they were swimming, waiting for them to pass by. After they went by, we would get back on the boat and repeat the process. If the boat were larger, it wouldn't be as maneuverable, and with more people, it would take longer for everyone to get back on the boat, reducing the number of times we could see the dolphins.

This time, my wife saw online that Mr. Nawata's tour had a good reputation, so we decided to join both the manta and dolphin tours.

イルカウォッチングの経験はあったが、一緒に泳げることを期待してツアーに参加。とはいえ、少し離れた海中から見るくらいだろうと思っていたが、本当にすぐ近くを群れが泳いでいく。子供のイルカが母イルカをつついている様子や２頭が競争するように並走していく様子などを夢中で見ていると後にイルカ、そちらに気を取られると横にもイルカ！　
海に入る前にガイドの縄田さんやミチさんに言われたとおり、絶えず上下左右を気にしていないといけない（笑）
こんな間近で見られるとは、と感激していると、「今は子供がいるから少し警戒して寄ってこないのかもしれない」と縄田さん。ミチさんも「今日は泳ぎが速い」と。野生のイルカなのにもっと近くをもっとゆっくり泳いでくれることもあるのだと驚いた。

感激したのはイルカばかりではない。この日はイルカがなかなか見つからずかなり船を走らせたが、スタッフみんなが何とか参加者により沢山のイルカを見せてくれようと群れを探し、見つかって海に入るとキャプテンは船の上から、ガイドのお二人は海中でこっちこっちと常にイルカのいる所を教えてくれた。またツアー後もミチさんが自身で撮られたイルカの写真を送って下さるというのでメールアドレスをお伝えしておいたら、早速にとてもクリアな素晴らしい画像を送ってくださった。自分達でも写してはいたがどうしてもイルカのスピードについていけず、上手く撮れていなかったので大変嬉しい心遣いだった。

船上でのおしゃべりも楽しく、ハワイ島での楽しみ方もいろいろ教えていただいた。スタッフ皆さんが本当に気持ちの良い方ばかりだったのでよりツアーを楽しめたのではないかと思う。
今回はシュノーケル初体験という方や小学生のお子さんもいたが、そのアテンドも大変きめ細かく、初心者でも安心して参加できるツアーだと思った。
船は小さいボートで参加者も８名が定員だが、それがかえってイルカと泳ぐには良いよいのだそう。実際イルカを見つけては彼らが泳いできそうな所に先回りして海に入って待つ、イルカが通り過ぎると船にあがり、また先回りして海に入る、の繰り返し。船が大きいと小回りがきかないし、人数が多いと全員が船にあがるのにも時間がかかってしまい、イルカを見る回数が減ってしまうとのことだった。

今回、嫁がサイトで縄田さんのツアーが評判なのを見て、マンタとイルカ、２つのツアー

The food was not very good this time. I didn't get the choice I requested on their website (beef) and instead got cold/dry chicken. I went with Forest and Trails since I used them for this tour the last time I was on the Big Island. The last time we stopped near the Ranger station and were allowed to go in and look at the exhibits, this time we parked in a remote corner and were too far away. The views were amazing and well worth the little issues that came up.

So close. こんなに近くに

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in several wild dolphin tours on Oahu. This time, I heard rumors that the dolphin tour on the Big Island is amazing, so I made a reservation. We chased dolphins on a boat that moved freely across the sea, taking us to a spot where the dolphins came very close. I was thrilled to see mother and baby dolphins and playful dolphins up close, but I was told that there were fewer tour staff than usual, which was disappointing. I wondered if I could really swim with the pod if I participated at the usual time! I decided that I would definitely make a reservation for the next time I visit the Big Island. Among the participants, there were beautiful underwater photos of dolphins taken with a 100% waterproof digital camera, so I want to bring a waterproof digital camera next time. After participating in this tour, I personally felt that while the recreational dolphin tours on Oahu are fun, I might be done with them...

オアフ島では何回か野生のイルカツアーに参加しました。今回はハワイ島でのイルカツアーは凄いらしいと噂を聞いて予約しました。イルカを追い求めてボートを海上に縦横無尽に走らせ、凄く近くまでイルカ達が来てくれる場所まで連れて行ってくれました。親子イルカや遊んでいるイルカ達を近くで見ることができて、大感激だったのですが、ツアースタッフの方々はいつもより少なくて残念と言ってました。じゃあ、いつもの時に参加できたら本当に群れと泳げるのか！！！と。次回のハワイ島では必ず予約しようと決めました。参加している方の中で防水100％のデジカメで撮られた水中のイルカ達の写真がとてもきれいだったので、次回は防水デジカメ持参で参加したいです。このツアーに参加した後に、オアフ島のリクリエーション的なイルカルアーは楽しいけれども、もういいかな、、、と個人的には思いました。

I encountered dolphins and manta rays. イルカとマンタに遭遇したよ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was already satisfied just to meet the dolphins, but I even got to see a manta ray. I was really lucky. During the summer vacation, about four families participated, and there were three Japanese staff members, which made me feel at ease. They were very attentive. I would like to participate again.

イルカに会えるだけで満足なのに、マンタにまで会えてしましました。本当にラッキーでした。夏休みの利用で４組ぐらいの家族が参加しましたが、スタッフも３人日本の方で安心で、至れりつくせりです。また参加したいと思います。

At Home アットホーム

Reviewed by: omogu

I usually don't join tours, but for some reason, I had already booked two tours in Kona this time, and I really didn't have any more days available for additional ones. However, after reading alan1's review, I felt an irresistible urge to participate. I signed up just before departure.

I've done sea kayaking many times before, so it wasn't anything new, but it was just as fun as I expected. The two guides were warm and genuinely human, creating a relaxing atmosphere. I definitely want to join another tour next time. Thank you, Kevin and Noni, for your hospitality. Thank you for the photos as well. I'm looking forward to the day we meet again.

普段ツアーはあまり入れない私ですが、今回のコナでは、なぜかすでにツアーを二つ入れていて、本当はもう入れる日程もないほどだったのです。
しかし、alan1のレビューを見ていたら、無性に参加したくなりました。そして出発間際に申し込みました。

次回もぜひツアーに参加したいと思います。

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

Thrilling! It was so much fun!! スリル満点！楽しかったー！！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We went to the Big Island for our honeymoon and participated in ocean rafting on August 31. The staff only spoke English, but they kindly provided Japanese explanations for us. Upon arriving, we were supposed to call "Captain Zodiac," the company organizing the tour, for confirmation, but our English skills made it difficult to convey what we wanted to say, which was a bit challenging. However, the staff on the other end of the phone continued to explain how to get to the meeting point with great effort, and we could feel their determination to help us, which was very kind.

On the day of the tour, a male boat driver and a female captain (who acted a bit like a pirate) boarded the boat together. I was surprised by how to get on the boat. We sat on the inflated edges of the rubber boat, and as we hit the waves, it rocked violently while speeding along. If you weren't focused, it felt like you could be thrown off. It was incredibly thrilling, and I kept shouting "Waaaaaaah!!!! Gyaaaaaah!!!!" (laughs). There were eight of us participating together: a couple in their 40s to 50s, two grandmothers in their 60s, a Japanese parent and child, and us.

When we arrived at our destination, we enjoyed snorkeling in a coral reef filled with tropical fish. However, it was just after daylight saving time ended, and the temperature wasn't very high, so I got cold while in the water. Although we had time to swim again after lunch, I decided not to because I couldn't stop shivering. It was a shame since the coral reef was beautiful. It seemed that the spot we visited had cold water flowing from the mountains.

After enjoying snorkeling, we returned while looking at the famous sights along the coast from the sea. On the way back, we also sped along and made sharp turns with the boat, which was a lot of fun. I highly recommend this tour!

新婚旅行でハワイ島に行き、8月31日にオーシャンラフティングに参加しました。
スタッフは英語onlyでしたが、日本人用に日本語の説明書きを用意してくれていて親切でした。
現地に到着してから、このツアーを企画している「キャプテンゾディアック号」に確認の電話をすることになっていたのですが、私たちの英語力ではなかなか言いたいことが伝わらず、ちょっと苦労しました。ですが、電話のむこうのスタッフの方が、集合場所までの行き方などを一生懸命説明し続けてくれて、「なんとかつたえてあげなきゃ！」という気持ちが伝わってきて、親切な対応でした。
当日は、ボートの運転手（男性）と、案内をしてくれるキャプテン（海賊のイメージでちょっと悪っぽい感じに振舞う女性）が一緒にボートに乗り込みました。驚いたのが、ボートの乗り方です。ゴムボートの周りの膨らみの部分に腰をかけた状態で、波にぶつかり大きく縦揺れしながら、猛スピードで進んで行くのです。集中していなければ体が投げ出されてしまいそういでした。とってもスリリングで、ずっと「ワーーーーー！！！！！！！！ギャーーーーーーーーー！！」と叫んでいました（笑）一緒に参加していたのは、40~50代くらいのご夫婦、60代くらいのおばあちゃん２人組、日本人の親子、私たちの８人でした。行き着いた先では、トロピカルフィッシュが泳ぐ珊瑚礁でシュノーケリングを楽しみました。ただ、この頃はちょうどサマータイムが終わったころであり、気温があまり高くなかったため、海に入っている間に体が冷えてしまって、お昼を食べてからもう一度泳げる時間があったのですが、体の震えがとまらず泳ぐのを断念しました。せっかくきれいな珊瑚礁だったのに残念でした。特にそのスポットは山からの地下水が流れ出ており、少し水が冷たいところだったみたいです。
シュノーケリングを楽しんだあとは、海岸沿いにある名所を沖から眺めながら帰るという内容でした。帰りも猛スピードを出したり、ボートを極端に傾けてターンをしたりと、楽しませてくれました。
このツアーはおすすめです！！

We participated in the standard tour with my 9-year-old son and my husband. My husband is afraid of heights, so he was a bit nervous at first, but once we were up in the air, he said it felt really nice and there was no shaking at all. My son is already saying that next time he wants to try the deluxe option, which goes even higher.

The view of Kona from up high was amazing!!

I was torn between choosing the 2.5-hour plan or the private 2.5-hour plan, but in the end, I signed up for the 2.5-hour plan. However, when we arrived on the day, it turned out that we were the only family there, so it was actually just like a private plan, which felt like a great deal.

Liz, who explained everything to us, was very kind, and even as complete beginners, we were able to ride the horses properly. My 9-year-old son was saying it was difficult, but he managed to ride as well.

The wide grasslands, the blue sea, and the cute horses made for the best 2.5 hours! I want to go back next time to meet those adorable horses again.

It was incredibly moving. 超☆感動でした

Reviewed by: ささやん

I had been wanting to participate in a dolphin tour for a long time and did some research, but I decided to apply to Aloha Kona Tours for a couple of reasons: the small group size and the fact that they speak Japanese. Additionally, the numerous comments from past participants were decisive factors for me.

Participating in the tour was truly an amazing and moving experience. We were a couple not so young and complete beginners, but thanks to Mr. Nawata and staff member Tsuyako's thoughtful attention, we were able to enjoy snorkeling without any worries.

Of course, we got to see dolphins, and we even encountered a manta ray, which was incredibly moving. They made sure we could meet dolphins multiple times by getting the boat ahead of them, and we could even hear the dolphins' sounds and saw a mother and baby dolphin.

I am truly grateful to Mr. Nawata and Tsuyako, who were always smiling. It was a reassuring dolphin tour for beginners.

野生のイルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜朝食・昼食付き＞

It was fun! たのしかったです！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a family. Since it was about wild dolphins, we were able to see a family of dolphins shortly after the boat started moving. At the front of the boat, we could also see many flying fish several times.

I wanted to see the dolphins a bit closer, but since snorkeling was the main activity this time, we traveled for about an hour.

For breakfast (light snacks), we could freely make our own bread and fruit, and the burgers for lunch were also delicious, along with fresh potato salad and vegetables. Maui chips were available as snacks, which was nice.

We could always have warm drinks, and there were many options for cold drinks. We could also have alcohol for an additional fee.

On the day of the trip, we were the only Japanese people, but the staff kindly supported us, which made us feel at ease. They lent us prescription masks, and the facilities were well-equipped with showers, noodle and glass-bottomed boards to see below. The snorkeling spot had high visibility, and the waves were at a safe height, allowing us to swim comfortably even in deeper areas.

On the way back, we were also able to see a turtle, and we were very satisfied.

家族で参加しました。
野生のイルカということで、船が走り出してすぐにイルカの家族を見ることができました。船の先端では、たくさんのトビウオも飛ぶ姿も何度も見ることできます。
イルカを、もう少し近くで見たいところでしたが、今回はシュノ―ケリングがメインなのでしばらく一時間ほど移動しました。

朝食(軽食)のパンやフルーツ、昼食のバーガーも自分たちで自由に作ることができ、ポテトサラダや野菜も新鮮でおいしくいただけました。マウイチップスもスナックとしてあり良かったです。

また温かい飲み物は常時飲むことができ、冷たい飲み物の種類も多かったです。追加料金でお酒も飲むことができました。


当日、日本人は自分達だけでしたが、スタッフにやさしくサポートしてもらえたので安心でした。マスクも度付きのを貸出してもらい。ヌードルやグラスで下が見えるビート版等、シャワー完備と充実しておりました。シュノーケルのスポットは、透明度が高く、深くても安心して泳げる波の高さでした。

帰りにカメも見ることができ、とても満足しています。

Dolphins and manta rays! イルカとマンタが！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was thrilled to see not only dolphins but also manta rays! It was a truly unforgettable experience that I could never have in Japan, so I was very satisfied.

There were only two crew members, the captain and a guide, along with eight guests, which made for a more intimate atmosphere. I think it's great for those who dislike a noisy environment.

However, since it was my first time snorkeling, I panicked a bit when I jumped into the sea and swallowed quite a bit of seawater (laughs).

イルカだけじゃなくてマンタも見ることが出来て感激しました！日本では到底体験できない時間だったので大満足です。

船にはキャプテンとガイドの2名、お客さんの8名という少人数体制だったので、ワイワイガヤガヤした感じが嫌いな人は良いと思います。

ただ、シュノーケルは始めてだったので、最初に海に飛び込んだ時はかなり海水を飲んであせりました（笑）

I recommend it! おすすめです！

Reviewed by: hiroshi

This time we went to the Big Island, and visiting Kilauea and Mauna Kea was a must. I looked into what else there was to do and found out that you can swim with dolphins, so I joined this tour, which had great reviews compared to others.

It turned out to be a fantastic choice! First of all, the guide was really nice and amazing! The quality of a tour is definitely important, but the guide makes a huge difference!

The tour itself was filled with dolphins, and I was truly moved. I was surprised to see so many dolphins up close!

Apparently, the types of dolphins on the Big Island are different from those on Oahu, and they swim in large groups, which is why you can see this incredible sight.

I highly recommend it if you visit the Big Island!!

今回はハワイ島ということで、キラウエアとマウナケアは必須、他にどんなものがあるのかと探してみてイルカと泳げるということがわかり、他のツアーと比較しても評判の良かったコチラに参加。
結果これが大正解！まずガイドさんが感じが良くて凄く良い！やっぱりツアーは内容はもちろん重要ですが、ガイドさんでほぼ決まりますね！

ツアー内容もそこら辺イルカだらけで感動しました。
こんなにたくさんのイルカが、こんなに近くで見られるとは驚きでした！

なんでもハワイ島はイルカの種類が他のオアフ島なんかとも違うため、大きな群れで泳ぐのでこの光景が見られるそう。

ハワイ島に行ったら是非おすすめです！！

In search of dolphins... イルカを求めて･･･

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We were supposed to meet at 7:30, but we had to wait over an hour for the boat due to the staff not being assigned and sudden changes in participants. Perhaps because we missed the best time in the morning, we couldn't find any dolphins and spent nearly two hours moving around on the boat. We eventually gave up and moved to the snorkeling point, where we encountered dolphins after about 30 minutes. We saw a large pod, including baby dolphins, so in the end, we were satisfied.

7時半集合だったのですが、ボートの担当スタッフが決まらなかったり、急な参加者の変更があったりで、出船まで１時間以上待たされました。
朝イチのベストタイムを逃したせいか、イルカが見つからずに
２時間近くボートで移動。あきらめてシュノーケリングポイントへ移動して３０分くらいでイルカに遭遇できました。
大きな群れで、赤ちゃんイルカも見られて結果的には満足です。

Encountering wild dolphins 野生のイルカに遭遇

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I encountered wild dolphins. They jumped nearby and came as close as a few meters. The snacks were great, and the pineapple was very delicious. Since I was staying at the Sheraton Keauhou Bay, the meeting point was very close (about a 3-5 minute walk). You land on the rocks, so if you have marine boots, it's better to wear them. (If you don't have them, they will lend you a pair.)

野生のイルカに遭遇しました。
近くでジャンプをしたり、数メートルくらいまで近づいてきました。
スナック付きで、パイナップルがとてもおいしかったです。
シェラトンケアウホウベイに宿泊していたので、待ち合わせ場所もすぐ近くでした。(徒歩3-5分)
岩の上に上陸するので、マリンブーツを持っているなら履いていったほうが良いです。(ない場合は、貸してくれます。)

The feeling of having the ocean all to myself. 海を独り占めした感覚

Reviewed by: tsut-hymg

It was my first time kayaking, but thanks to Nino's careful instruction, I was able to paddle in the ocean with peace of mind. I experienced a sense of liberation and refreshment that I had never felt before.

There was a bit of a struggle with steering, leading to a mini battle between my child and me, but that was also quite fun. I got so into kayaking that I even wanted my own kayak.

The underwater scenery while snorkeling was captivating, resembling a dragon palace, but unfortunately, I got seasick and had to get back on the kayak midway. (I apologize for that, especially since Kevin found the best spot for us...) I am very grateful to Kevin and Nino for their constant encouragement and thoughtful care.

The kids mentioned that they were disappointed we didn't encounter dolphins or sea turtles and that we couldn't experience cliff diving, but instead, we were able to feel the great outdoors, which became a wonderful summer memory. (I believe the decision to skip cliff diving was made out of concern for my health.)

I was very thankful to receive the photos for free after returning home. If the opportunity arises, I would love to participate again.

初めてのカヤックでしたが、ニノさんが丁寧に教えてくれたお蔭で安心して海で漕ぐ事ができました。
今まで経験した事のない解放感と爽快感を味わえました。

若干、舵取りがうまくいかず親子でプチバトルがありましたが、それも何かと楽しいものでした。
ｍｙカヤックが欲しくなったくらいカヤックにはまってしまいました。

シュノーケリングをした海底は、まるで竜宮城のような景色で魅了されましたが、私だけ波酔いをしてしまい途中でカヤックに乗ってしまいました。
（せっかくケビンさんがベストスポットを探してくれたのにすみませんでした…）
ケビンさんとニノさんには、何度も声掛けをして頂き、細かな気遣いをしてくれた事を大変感謝しております。

イルカとホヌに出会えなかった事と、崖からのダイビングが体験できなかった事が残念だったと子供達は言ってましたが代わりに大自然を肌で感じる事が出来大変良い夏の思い出となりました。（崖のダイビングは私の体調不良を気遣ってくれての事だと思います）

帰国後に無料でお写真を送って頂けたのはとてもありがたく思いました。
機会がありましたら、また参加したいと思います。
