Hawaii Manta Ray Sunset & Night Time Snorkel Experience from Kona - Iruka

10/10 Amazing Experience

Reviewed by: Mayra Mateo

The crew was awesome! They made sure everyone was safe and made accommodations for those that needed it. I hope those that needed a little extra help also appreciate them because they did an amazing job! We saw at least 7 mantas that night. It’s one thing seeing them at the zoo and another snorkeling with them. Towards the last 10 minutes of the session, we had 4 mantas doing flips under our floating matt. It was so mesmerizing! Such beautiful creatures! Would definitely do it again in the future! 10/10

ハワイ島 乗馬ツアー コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬! <午前・午後/英語ガイド>by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

The best horseback riding experience overlooking the beautiful sea✨ 美しい海を見下ろす最高の乗馬体験✨

Reviewed by: arielish

We participated as two families (two elementary school students, two middle school students, and four adults). The ranch provides helmets, which can be borrowed for free at each person's discretion (it's better to wear a helmet due to the possibility of falling off!).

At the beginning, the ranch staff gave a brief explanation of how to handle the horses and important points to note (everything was in English, so I needed to lightly interpret for the kids).

After that, the staff selected horses based on the participants' body types, and we quickly started riding. It might be hard to believe in Japan, but even beginners were able to ride the horses, and instead of just leading them around, we all went outside the ranch! The horses were quite accustomed to the trail, so we formed a line following the horse in front of us, but depending on the horse's nature, some wanted to move quickly while others were a bit reluctant to go forward.

At one point, there was a challenge to try a gallop, which made me a bit nervous for the third grader, wondering if they would be thrown off.

This bold tour is unique to America, and riding while overlooking the beautiful ocean was amazing; I believe it will become a lifelong memory! ✨

親族2家族(小学生2名、中学生2名、大人4名)で参加しました。
牧場にはヘルメットが用意されており、それぞれの判断で無料でお借りすることができます。(落馬の可能性があるのでヘルメットは被った方がいいです!)

初めに牧場の方が馬の動かし方や注意事項をざーっと説明してくださいました。(全て英語なので、子供たちには軽く通訳してあげる必要があります。)

その後牧場の方が参加者の体型などから馬を選んでくださり、早速乗馬。日本ではあり得ないと思いますが初心者でも同じように馬に乗り、引馬でもなく、全員牧場の外へ!馬がかなり慣れているので前の馬に続く形で隊列を組んで進みますが馬の性質によっては早く進みたがったりなかなか、進まなかったり。。ということももちろんありました。

途中駆け足に挑戦しよう!と、駆け足チャレンジもあったので小3の子など、振り落とされないか少しドキドキしました。

アメリカならではの大胆なツアーですがとにかく美しい海を見下ろしながらの乗馬はすばらしく、一生の思い出になると思います✨

マンタ大学夜学部 野生のマンタ&ナイトシュノーケリングツアー <送迎可/日本語スタッフ乗船日あり>

I was able to meet a manta ray. マンタに会うことができました。

Reviewed by: まこちゃん

A few years ago, we entered the water slightly earlier (just before the sunset was complete) and got out before it was completely dark. Still, we were lucky enough to have manta rays come close, which was exciting. This time, there were only about two, rather than many.

There was a sense that the four guides, including the captain, were enjoying themselves, which made it a fun experience. Actually, while I was looking underwater, they were doing their best to explain things above the float, but I had my ears in the water and missed most of it. I thought it would be good to master the technique of having my face in the water while keeping my ears out of it...

数年前のツアーと比べて若干早め(ちょうど夕日が沈み切る直前)から水に入り、完全に暗くなる前位に水から上がりました。それでも、幸運にもマンタが近づいてきてくれて興奮でした。今回は多数というよりは2匹?位ではありましたが。
何となく船長を含め4名のガイド自らが楽しんでいる感があって楽しい気分になることができました、、、実は水中を見ているとき、フロートの上で一生懸命説明をしてくれていたのですが、水中に耳をつけてしまっていてほとんど聞きそびれてしまいました。顔は水の中、耳は水の外、、って技を身につけておくといいと思いました。。。

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ クジラを探してコナの美しい海岸線をクルージング!ソフトドリンク付き <12~3月/午前・午後/英語ガイド>

I was moved by the Hawaiian dolphins. ハワイアンドルフィンに感動

Reviewed by: MOCHA

After departing, we made a few stops at various points, but we couldn't find anything. We did some snorkeling for a while. The visibility was excellent. When we arrived at the Captain Cook monument point, we finally encountered dolphins. We observed them from the boat to avoid scaring them. They were cautious around people. It was amazing to see them spinning around! I got careless and forgot to reapply sunscreen, which I regretted later... Reapplying is a must!

出港してから、各ポイントで少し停まるものの、見つかりません。しばしシュノーケリング。透明度は抜群。キャプテンクック碑のポイントに来たらとうとうドルフィン遭遇。怖がらせないように船上から見学しました。近づく人には注意してました。クルクル回転してくれたり野生イルカ感動しました!油断して日焼け止めを塗り直すのを忘れまして後で後悔。。2度塗り必須です

Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour Adventure on a Hawaiian Sailing Canoe

Excellent

Reviewed by: EGrE

This is an intimate and friendly canoe trip. I enjoyed it with my three kids and the crew was helpful and patient with my littlest one who had never snorkeled. We got an incredible education about the Mantra Rays and saw them within inches of us. I can’t recommitting enough. I really liked having a smaller group and special type of boat.

Sea Quest Kealakekua Bay Snorkel Tour & Rafting Sea Cave Expedition

Amazing experience

Reviewed by: Laurie H

I went on the deluxe snorkeling trip with my husband and five of my young adult children. We all loved it! Captain Steve did a fantastic job showing us sea caves and other interesting sites. We ended up in the midst of a pod of dolphins and saw some pilot whales. For all of us it was our first time snorkeling and Captain Steve and his crew made our first experience incredible. They even helped my son who can’t swim get comfortable with snorkeling using a life vest and noodle so by the second snorkeling stop he was a pro. We saw so many fish, eels, and a few sea turtles. I truly can’t say enough good things about the crew and the whole experience. One of the best of my life! I will definitely return!

Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour Adventure on a Hawaiian Sailing Canoe

Manta Ray Trip

Reviewed by: Paul

Our canoe boat trip was great. We loved the smaller boat experience - only about 12 of us - vs. the big catamarans. The captain and crew of two were friendly and fun. In the water we saw lots of Manta Rays. Our young lady crew member filled us in on lots of info about manta rays while in the water. My son took lots of GoPro videos and images. One hour was just right, since the trip out to the viewing spot only took a few minutes.

It was a rainy warm trip but had a lot of fun. Devon was a great guide and although we did not see any turtles we saw plenty of fish and coral. Also learned a lot about the local area and history. Very helpful for getting our son, who is not a strong swimmer and new to snorkeling, into the water. Our guide explained everything very well and emphasized safety and respect for the land, sea and marine life.

Keauhou Bay Manta Ray Night Dive Tour & Snorkel Adventure from Kona - Sea Quest

Fun Manta Ray Tour

Reviewed by: Yvonne

The guides and the captain were all very friendly, knowledgeable, approachable, and helpful, which made the tour extra enjoyable and fun! We saw schools of little fish and minnows right in front of our eyes (they also occasionally ran into our hands and faces) and definitely saw a couple huge manta rays! Overall a fun tour.
Quick tip: wearing the wetsuit helped a lot, as the water got really cold when it got dark, and longer you stay in the water, the colder it gets. Also, would not recommend going the day you get off the plane, as my boyfriend and I got extremely seasick towards the end of the manta ray viewing. However, our guides and the captain gave us many tips on how to feel better and fed us with snacks and drinks.

We moor in about 25-30 feet of water in order to protect the fragile coral reef. When guests stay near the boat unfortunately the fish are less plentiful in the open water.
During our safety briefing our crew instructs guests to swim closer to shore in about 10-15 feet of water where the coral and fish are plentiful.
