I participated in the manta tour, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any mantas due to rough seas. Since it was the last day on the Big Island and I was scheduled to return to Oahu, I was a bit disappointed thinking I wouldn't be able to participate in any more activities, even with the guarantee system in place.
However, I was informed that since the headquarters is located on Oahu, I could switch to a local tour there, and I was able to join a dolphin swim tour in Oahu!
That tour was amazing, as I got to swim with many dolphins.
Although I was disappointed not to see mantas on the manta tour, the comprehensive guarantee system helped me avoid feeling like I lost out. I highly recommend this company's tours over others.
マンタツアー参加しましたが、シケのためマンタは見れず。
ハワイ島も最終日でオアフ島に戻る予定だったため、保障制度があっても今回の旅ではもう参加できないな〜と少しがっかりしてました。
しかし、本社がオアフ島にあるとのことで、そちらの現地ツアーに振り替えもできますと言われ、オアフ島でイルカ中学のツアーに参加することができました!
そちらのツアーはたくさんのイルカと泳ぐことご出来てとても素晴らしかったです。
マンタツアーではマンタ見れず残念でしたが、保障制度が手厚いため損した気分にならずに済みました。ほかの会社よりもこちらの会社のツアーがおすすめです。

I thought it would be about two hours, but it ended up being close to three hours, which was enjoyable. However, for the first two hours or so, the host's talk and performances delayed the start of the actual Hawaiian show. It might be a reminder to take it easy and enjoy Hawaiian time. The show itself wasn't much different from what I've seen outside of Hawaii.
2時間ほどかと思っていたら、3時間近くあって長く楽しめた。ただ、最初の2時間くらいは、司会者の話と演奏でなかなか、本来のハワイアンショーが始まらない。せかせかせず、ハワイタイムを過ごせということかも知れないが。
ショー自体は、Hawaii以外で観たものと、あまり変わりは無かった。

The speed of the boat to the fishing grounds was extraordinary and it was a thrilling activity. I was able to see the humpback whale's spout, and the beautiful sunset was perfect. The water was cold, so I was glad to borrow a wetsuit. I was fortunate to see a manta ray, even if just once. The hot cocoa on the way back was delicious!
漁場までのボートのスピードは尋常でなくスリリングなアクティビティでした。ザトウクジラの潮吹きも見られたし、キレイなサンセットもバッチリでした。海中は冷たいのでウエットスーツは借りて良かったです。一度だけですがマンタを見られて良かったです。帰りのホットココアが美味しかったです‼️

The sea was very rough due to the front passing the day before. Despite that, we set sail. I was moved to see a manta ray, but I spent a long time in the water and my body got completely cold. When I got back on the boat, I was so cold that my stomach hurt, and my hands trembled for a while. It seems that the temperature in Hawaii in February is low as well. There was a Japanese guide, but I had to ask for information about the restroom and changing area; they didn't provide it on their own.
前日の前線通過で海は大荒れ。
その中での出港。マンタは見れて感動しましたが、海の中にいる時間も長くとにかく体が冷え切りました。
船に上がった時には、体が冷えすぎてお腹が痛く、手の震えもしばらく止まりませんでした。

It started to rain and the activity was canceled midway, but they rescheduled it for the next day, allowing us to try again. They carefully taught us how to ride the Segway, and we visited various sightseeing spots for two hours. We sped down the old airport runway and even tried riding with our hands open, which was incredibly fun.
We stopped at a farmer's market along the way to buy local fruits, and during a break, they let us try dragon fruit for the first time. They even took photos and videos, leaving us with great memories. It was a very satisfying activity.
雨が降り出してしまい途中で中止になりましたが、翌日に変更してもらい再挑戦できました。丁寧にセグウェイの乗り方を教えてくれて、2時間もいろんな観光名所にセグウェイで行き、旧空港の滑走路ではスピードを出したり、手を開いて乗ってみたりして、最高に楽しかったです。

On February 8th, I participated with my children and my brother-in-law, a group of four. We were able to see a mother and baby whale, dynamic jumps (which were a bit far away), and a pod of dolphins up close. The captain took us to various points where we could encounter different wildlife. The thrill of the speed and bouncing felt like a roller coaster, and I gripped the ropes tightly, which left me with sore muscles for a while.
Before participating, I was worried about what to wear. How cold is the ocean in Hawaii during winter? Would I get completely soaked? What about shoes? The conclusion was that the ocean had a bit of swell, and the boat's spray only splashed on us a little. I think it depends on the sea conditions, but it’s fine to dress in a way that you wouldn’t mind getting a little wet. By the way, I wore a T-shirt with a hooded rash guard, pants, and water shoes. Sunglasses are a must. The boat bounces at incredible speed, so a cap will fly off.
2月8日に子供夫婦と義兄の4人で参加しました。クジラの親子、ダイナミックなジャンプ(これは少し遠かったです)、イルカの群れを近くで見ることも出来ました。キャプテンが色々遭遇できそうなポイントに連れて行ってくれました。ジェットコースターのようなスリル満点のスピードとバウンドの為ロープを握りしめる手や踏ん張る脚に力が入りしばらくは筋肉痛でした。
参加する前に心配していたのは服装の事。ハワイの冬の海はどのくらい寒いのか?ずぶ濡れになってしまうのか?靴は?という事で結論は、海は少しうねりがありボートの波しぶきが少しかかる程度でした。海のコンディションにもよると思いますが、少し濡れてもいいくらいの格好で大丈夫。ちなみに私はTシャツにフード付きラッシュガード、パンツ、マリンシューズ。、サングラスは必須です。ボートはすごいスピードでバウンドしながら疾走するのでキャップは飛んでしまいます。

I visited Kealakekua Bay, known as the Path of the Gods. The hotel I stayed at was the Sheraton, which was conveniently located just a short walk from the meeting point. Since it's the end point for the trolley, I think it's easy to get there even if you don't rent a car or stay at the Sheraton.
The guide spoke English and was very knowledgeable about history, answering any questions we had. Additionally, to protect the coral, we were allowed to use environmentally friendly sunscreen for free. The water was truly beautiful, and I was able to see many cute fish! It was February, but I enjoyed myself without a rash guard. It was a bit chilly, so I couldn't stay in the water the whole time... haha. After snorkeling, they provided fresh fruit, snacks, and drinks on the boat! It was really great!
神々の道と言われるケアラケクア湾に行きました。止まっていたホテルがシェラトンだったので歩いてすぐの集合場所で便利が良かったです。トロリーの終点なのでレンタカーしてない&シェラトン宿泊者じゃなくても行きやすいと思います。
ガイドは英語ですが、歴史の知識も豊富で聞けばなんでも答えてくれます。また珊瑚保護のため、環境に優しい日焼け止めも無料で使用させてもらえます。本当に水がキレイな場所なのでたくさんのかわいい魚たちを見ることができました!2月でしたが、ラッシュガードなしで楽しめました。少し寒くてフルタイムで水の中に入っていられなかったですが…笑 シュノーケルの後、船の上でフレッシュフルーツとスナック、飲み物を用意してくれますよ!とても良かったです!

I wouldn't give this tour five stars...I give it as many stars as there are in the Mauna Kea sky! This tour was easily the highlight of our trip on the Big Island! We enjoyed every minute of it. The sunset was absolutely gorgeous, and to see it from such a high elevation was quite remarkable. I was glad that we had plenty of time before and after the sunset to walk around, take in the view, and get some good pictures.
The dinner was very good but if you don't like lasagna there's a microwave at VIS if you want to bring your own food.
The road to the summit is a bit bumpy, but that's to be expected since it's a volcano. So take motion sickness meds if you're prone to carsickness. And if you get cold easily, definitely bring layers! They provide parkas and gloves but you might also want to bring a hat or scarf and thick socks.
Throughout the tour, the guide provided a very entertaining and educational narrative. It's obvious that he's passionate about Mauna Kea and Hawaii. He's basically a walking encyclopedia of Hawaii and provided all kinds of interesting information about Mauna Kea's geology and history, and also talked about Hawaiian culture and why Mauna Kea is a sacred place. He also did an excellent job of guiding the stargazing and pointing out constellations, star clusters, and planets, most of which we got to see through a telescope. I think my favorite part of the stargazing was getting to see the Andromeda galaxy through the telescope.
If you're going to the Big Island, this tour is a must!

Most of the participants seemed to be foreigners, with only two Japanese people. Throughout the tour, there is narration, but it's all in English, so those who understand it will likely enjoy it more. Light snacks are available on board, including pretzels, fruits, and coffee. Alcohol can also be ordered separately.
At first, a few dolphins appeared, followed by whales about three times. It lasted around five minutes. Just when I was about to give up because they weren't showing up, I was moved when I saw the dorsal fin. It was the moment when everyone's wishes were fulfilled.
From what I heard around me, it seems that dolphins are seen more frequently in places like Oahu and Okinawa, so I think this tour is more suitable for those who are looking for a cruise experience rather than just whale watching. Although it was a large ship, there was quite a bit of rocking, so I recommend that those who are sensitive to motion sickness prepare some medication.
ほとんどの参加者が外国の方のようでした。日本人は別に2人ほど。
ツアー中、ずっとナレーションが入りますが全て英語のため、分かる方はより楽しめると思います。
船内では軽食が食べられます。ブレッツェルなどのお菓子、フルーツ、コーヒーなど。お酒も別途注文できます。
最初にイルカが数頭出てきて、
そのあとくじらが3回ほど。時間にすると5分程でしょうか。
なかなか出てこず、諦めかけた矢先でしたので、背ビレが見えた時は感動ものでした。皆の願いが届いた瞬間でした。
周囲の話を聞いていると、オアフ島や沖縄ではもっと頻度良く見られるとのことで、ホエールウォッチング以上に、クルーズを目的にされる方に適しているツアーだと思いました。
また大きい船でしたが、揺れが結構大きかったので、弱い方は酔い止めをご準備された方が良いと思います。

It was quite a distance from Kona, and the round trip was challenging. However, I highly recommend it as we got to see the crater from above, as well as the beautiful ocean and ʻōhiʻa lehua. It was an exhilarating two hours from start to finish.

This was my first time participating. In the end, I didn't get to see any manta rays... However, this company offers a free tour next time if you don't see manta rays. I participated in this tour on the Big Island, but since the company also has a branch on Oahu, I signed up for a snorkeling tour to see turtles there, which was really free. They provided transportation to and from the hotel, which was very accommodating. The entire crew was energetic and kept the participants entertained from start to finish. During snorkeling, I was able to observe turtles right in front of me, explore the seabed while free diving, and play on a waterslide and trampoline on the water—such a satisfying experience! They also provided warm drinks, which was helpful. The pineapple was super delicious. Chanel from the Oahu branch, it became a wonderful memory of Hawaii! Thank you. And to the crew on the Big Island, you were all handsome with your Kansai dialect! Thank you.

This Mauana Kea summit and stargazing tour was phenomenal. The first stop is at the visitor center around 9k feet elevation. Here you can look through a couple telescopes, walk through the museum, and you will be served your hot dinner (we had veggie lasagna and it was good). While you are here it is good to eat and drink alot of water so your body can acclimate to the higher altitudes ahead. Next stop is the summit up to almost 14k feet! The Vans they take up are heavy duty and they need to be because of the rocky road leading up the mountain. I would not reccomend taking a rental/personal vehicle up this mountain. The road is rocky, thin, and windy. The guides for this tour have been doing it for years and know the road well. On the way up the guides will give you some commentary about the mountain which is a cool little history lesson. At the top it is cold and the oxygen is thin, so be ready! They provide you with a winter coat and gloves but I recommend bringing your own hat. The views from the summit are outstanding. Watching the sun set from up there is really remarkable, and you can walk around to the 12 massive telescopes up there to take pictures. After the summit you will descend a couple thousand feet to the star gazing location. With no light pollution and at the high altitude it provides for the star gazing experience of a lifetime. I have never seen the sky lit up so brightly with constellations. The guides will break out a couple of heavy duty telescopes from the vans so you can get an even closer look. They will educate you about the constellations and give alot of really good information. Overall this is an impeccable tour and a must do if you are going to the Big Island!

It’s not that I couldn’t see them, but I thought I would be able to see them much closer. Upon further inquiry, I learned that during the afternoon, the whales are napping, so they are not very visible unless you go in the morning or around evening.
Also, when I tried to book, I wanted to sign up for the Tuesday evening tour, but I could only click on Wednesday evening. So, reluctantly, I clicked on Wednesday night, but I couldn’t make a reservation and was instead offered Tuesday afternoon, which I accepted... but I really wanted to go in the evening.
Then, two days later, while I was taking a walk on the hotel beach, I saw whales... (crying)
見れなかったわけではないのですが…
もっともっと近くで見れると思ってました。
よくよく聞くと、お昼頃はホエールはお昼寝中なので朝もしくは夕方ごろじゃないとあまり見えないそうです。
あと、予約時に火曜日の夕方のツアーに申し込みたいのに水曜日の夕方しかクリックできなかったので仕方なく水曜日の夜をクリックしたら予約できず火曜日のお昼をすすめられたので火曜日のお昼にしましたが…やっぱり夕方に見に行きたかったです。
そして、2日後にホテルのビーチをお散歩してたらホエール見れました…(泣)

We found this trip rather disappointing. It was supposed to last for an hour but we returned to the pier after 50 minutes. In the event we had probably seen all there was to see after 20 minutes. You see rather dull brown/grey coral, some small blue and yellow fish and some sea urchins - No wrays or sharks or anything unusual. In fact the guide started to describe the history of the buildings on the shoreline as we headed back. Not worth the money.
Sorry to hear that you found our tour disappointing. The tour is one hour from when you get on to when you get off, that does mean that it is about 50 min of actual tour time, we appreciate the insight, maybe we can explore making the tour last a bit longer.
The coral in Hawaii is naturally more neutral in color than other places in the world. However, Kona has amazingly clear waters and colorful fish. Many fish are relatively small so they can live on the reef and fit in the cracks and crevices of the coral. We do not guarantee shark and ray sightings. Though, sometimes we see large interesting creatures like that. We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed in what Kona's reef has to offer. Most guests express that they find the natural coral ecosystem to be amazing.
Many passengers are interested in the history of the bay including some of the historic buildings. The time when we are heading back and have a good view of the buildings is the perfect time to discuss it.

A trip into Waipi’o Valley with Douglas as your guide is a time travel to another time. His family is of this place so Douglas understands and shares the insiders perspective, with the added bonus of having access to the valley past the “End of Country Road” sign. Also if you aren’t up for the knee pounding descent and lung busting climb in and out of the valley this is the way to go. Worth mentioning this tour does not go to the beach, It instead works it’s way toward the back of the valley. Definitely a worth while event.

The Catamaran ride was very smooth and comfortable. The crew was wonderful and very informative. Once in the water we had seen a large variety of fish and rays. I would highly recommend this adventure.
Aloha,
Mahalo Nui Loa for taking the time to review us. We are so happy to hear you had a wonderful time with our crew and out on the water. We hope to see you on your next visit :)

The boat sways quite a bit, so at first, it's hard to walk, but during meal times, we anchor offshore, so you can relax. Moreover, at that time, a manta ray and many dolphins gathered around. I think they must have liked the singing. I can't remember the name, but there was a singer with the most beautiful voice singing live the whole time, and songs that felt very Hawaiian, which was truly soothing.
There was also a vegan menu, and the buffet was satisfying.
Most of the participants were from the mainland United States, and they were drinking and making a lot of noise, so even when I was trying to talk about history and the land, I couldn't hear it next to me. But overall, it was the best cruising experience. If you can't speak English, it might feel long and confusing as you won't know what's happening.
It was a bit disappointing that the sunset was partially hidden by clouds, but it was still a beautiful view. People who participated in the previous trip said they didn't encounter anything, so we were really lucky on our trip.
船はかなり揺れるので、最初は歩くのもやっとだけど、食事のときは沖で停泊するので落ち着いていただけます。しかも、この時、マンタが1匹と、イルカもたくさん集まってきました。きっと、歌声が好きだったんじゃないかと思いますお名前は覚えていないけど、最高に美しい声の歌手がずっと生歌を歌っていて、ハワイっぽい曲とか、本当に癒されました。
Veganメニューもあって、ビュッフェも満足でした。
参加者がほぼアメリカ本土から来た人たちばかりで、お酒飲んで大騒ぎするので、せっかく歴史や土地の話をしているのが隣に行っても聞こえないくらいだったけど、とにかく最高のcruisingでした。英語ができないと、何が起こってるか分らなく長く感じるかもしれないけど。
あとは、夕日が少し雲に隠れてしまったのが残念だけど、それでも美しい景色でした。前の便に参加した人たちは、何も出会えなかったそうで、私たちの便は本当に幸運に恵まれました。
Thank you for using VELTRA.
We also appreciate you sharing your wonderful photos.
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed not only the scenery of Maui but also the meals and the singing by the performers.
We hope you will choose VELTRA for your next trip as well.

We participated as a family of four. The crew members were all friendly and attentive, making it a comfortable experience. The sunset was beautiful, and we were thrilled to encounter a pod of dolphins!
家族4人で参加しました。クルーの方々がみんな気さくで気がつき、快適でした。
サンセットも綺麗だったし、イルカの群れに遭遇して、感動しました!

From the moment we took off to the theme song of Hawaii 50 (one of my highlights), this ride was sensational. From the front row, we soared over volcano craters, lava flows, waterfalls and macadamia nut farms. To miss out on seeing Big Island from the air in a helicopter is to miss out big time. Save money in every way you can before your holiday to include this in your Hawaiian itinerary. Sara our pilot was super friendly and very knowledgeable about everything we saw below us and very keen to answer all our questions. Although I wondered if the ride would be scary, it was not at all. We sat in comfortable chairs, safely buckled up, and soared through the sky as if on a magic carpet. This helicopter ride was one of the best activities I've ever done in my life and I will never forget it. Thank you to everyone who worked to make this a wonderful experience.

On the day of the activity, the weather was nice, and we started a little earlier than planned at 7 AM. It was my first experience kayaking, but the guide was kind and taught us carefully, so I was able to paddle without any issues. The sunrise was beautiful, and it felt great. We also went to a cave, which was thrilling and a lot of fun. I would love to try it again if I have the chance.
当日、天候も良く、予定より少し早い7時からスタートしました。カヤックは初めての経験でしたが、ガイドさんに優しく丁寧に教えていただき、問題なく漕げました。朝日が綺麗で、気持ち良かった。洞窟にも行けました。そこはスリル満点で楽しかったです。また機会があれば乗ってみたいです。

The waves were high since the day before, so I couldn't meet the manta rays. It's a natural occurrence, so there's nothing I can do about it, but I would like to try again next time.
前日から波が高くてマンタに会うことができなかった。
自然の事なので仕方がないのですが、次回またチャレンジしたいと思います。
