I planned to arrive 15 minutes before the opening, as I heard that this show tends to get quite crowded. However, the "Kamehameha Court" is located beyond the "Lagoon Tower," which is the farthest from the "Ocean Tower" where I'm staying. Even using the tram, it's best to allow at least 15 minutes for the journey.
Thanks to arriving early, I was able to secure a seat right in the middle, which offered the best view. (By the way, I booked a standard seat.)
I believe the show is the "Tropical Show" held at "Spa Resort Hawaiian," which I saw in a TV commercial before.
If you don't have a relaxed attitude of "enjoying the show while having a meal," some people might end up disappointed. I thought, "In any case, I'm going to have a meal, so I can enjoy a drink without my wife nagging me!" The participation fee is also quite high, so it varies depending on each person's style.
このショーは、結構混雑するらしいとのことで、開場15分前には到着するつもりでした。
しかしながら、『カメハメハコート』は、当方が滞在している『オーシャン・タワー』から一番遠い『ラグーン・タワー』の先にあります。
『トラム』を使っての移動でも15分は見ておいた方が無難です。
早く到着した甲斐もあり、開場のど真ん中の一番見やすい席を確保することができました。
(因みに、私が申し込んだのはスタンダードシートです。)
ショーの内容は、以前テレビコマーシャルで見た『スパリゾート・ハワイアン』で行われている『南国のショー』がこれに当たるのだと思います。
『食事を摂りながらショーも楽しむ!』ぐらいのおおらかさがないと、失望される方もいらっしゃるのではないでしょうか?
私は、『何れにせよ食事も摂るのだし、家内にぐだぐだ言われすにお酒が飲める!』との考えでした。
参加費用も高いので、各々のスタイルにより変わってくると思います。

On the way there, we encountered a whale, so it seems we didn't look for dolphins on the way back. The meeting point was supposed to be near the boat, but in reality, it was at a bench near the port's restroom, and I wouldn't have known where to go if someone from the same tour hadn't called out to me. The snorkeling was fun, and the staff were kind. They provided detailed explanations about the history and geography.
行きにクジラと遭遇したので帰りはイルカを探さなかったようです。
待ち合わせ場所が船の近くとなっていましたが実際は港のトイレの近くのベンチで同じツアーの人に声をかけてもらえなければ分からないところでした。

I was able to see the backs and tails of whales from quite a distance several times, but I was hoping to see them up close, so I felt a bit disappointed, which led to this rating. Around mid to late March seems to be the end of the season, so it might be that there are many instances where you can't see them.
かなり遠くにクジラの背中や尾ひれを何回か見ることが出来ましたが、もっと近くでクジラを見られることを期待してしまっていましたので、ちょっと残念な気持ちになってしまい、このような評価となりました。3月中旬-下旬あたりは時期的にもう終盤のようですので、見れないことも多いかもしれません。

My cousin and I have gone out on fishing with Capt Jack 4 times over the last 4 years. We have caught fish on each trip. The trip we took last week was a blast. 1st we
spent about a 1/2 hour catching bait.Then we used the bait to catch 9 small (10 -15 lb) yellow fin tuna and a mahi mahi on live bait. At least twice we each had a fish on at the same time. Then the 1st mate took out the big rods and we looked for bigger fish. We caught about 20 lb ono. If you like fishing, head out the Mark on Captain Jack out of Keauhuou Bay, you can start catching fish at the mouth of the harbor. Mark and his first mate always provide helpful guidance to the ladies. We took 5 one gallon baggies of fish home. Great job Capt Mark.

As the only Japanese participant who didn't understand English that day, I approached the experience with a spirit of challenge. I was given a brochure with clear explanations in Japanese about the ship and the whales. While the staff were attentive with drinks and other services, I felt that there was a slight lack of effort in helping customers spot the whales. I was able to see a few jumps and blows faintly, but I thought the price for this activity was too high, even considering the cost of living.
この日の日本人参加者が、英語の分からない自分1人だったこともあり、どうなる事か…と、チャレンジ精神で臨みました。日本語で分かりやすく記載されている船内やクジラの説明のリーフレットを渡されました。係員の方々は、飲み物など、気を配ってくださいましたけれど、肝心なクジラをお客様に探して見てもらおうといった姿勢が若干欠けていたと感じました。
ジャンプやブローは何回かうっすらと見れましたが、このアクティビティ料金では(物価が高いとは言え)高すぎると思いました。

We’ve taken this cruise several times and love it every time! The food is excellent, the crew is so accommodating, the music is relaxing and Captain Rick is the best. The water was a little ruff so the crew waited on us hand and foot. Captain Rick was funny and went further out in the ocean to avoid a rain shower on the way back so everyone didn’t get soaked. Oh! And Boyd is full of history stories about the island. We strongly recommend this dinner cruise for everyone. There were 2 elderly people on the cruise and the crew got them on board and to their seat safely. We would rather take this cruise then go to a luau. Great job Body Glove!

My trip to the Big Island always includes this snorkeling cruise.
First, we enjoyed a breakfast of fresh fruits and muffins. Along the way, we encountered whales and dolphins, and then headed to Captain Cook's destination. We had a fantastic time snorkeling in the beautiful sea and indulged in a BBQ lunch with hamburgers on board.
During snorkeling, even though I was in shallow water up to my knees, the current was strong, and I was swept away, becoming a feast for sea urchins. Thanks to my fins, I managed to protect the soles of my feet, but I ended up with 30 spines in my left ring finger, 20 in my right index finger, and countless others that I discovered later. I thought I had to remove them right there, so I endured the pain and pulled them out, somehow making it back to the boat. I was pushed back by the waves multiple times, leaving my knees and thighs covered in cuts and bruises, and I had significant bruising on my ribs, but the pain from the sea urchin stings was unbearable. My left ring finger swelled up black and was completely immobile, and even a light touch caused excruciating pain... the power of the sea urchin is terrifying.
The staff treated me with vinegar, which eased the intense pain a bit, but it was still an extraordinary level of discomfort. If you are careful about the current in shallow waters and the sea urchins, you can have a wonderful time!
ハワイ島の旅は、必ずこのシュノーケルクルーズに参加しています。
まずは新鮮なフルーツとマフィンの朝食。
途中、クジラやイルカにも出会え、その後キャプテンクックの目的地へ。
とってもきれいな海でシュノーケルを十分に楽しみ、船上BBQで、ハンバーガーのランチを堪能。
今回、シュノーケルをしている時に、膝下ぐらいしかない浅瀬にもかかわらず、潮の流れが強く、身体がどんどん流され、見事にウニの餌食…
足ヒレのお陰でなんとか足裏はガード出来ましたが、左手薬指に30本、右手人差し指に20本、その他後から傷口見たら数え切れないほどの長い針が刺さってしまいました。とにかくその場で抜かねば、と思い、痛みをこらえ抜き取り、なんとか船へ戻りました。何度も潮に押し戻されたので膝と太腿は切り傷にアザだらけ、肋骨は打撲とかなりの怪我でしたが、ウニに刺された部分がとにかく痛すぎでした。左手薬指は真っ黒に腫れ上がり全く曲げられず、ちょっと触るだけでも激痛…恐るべしウニパワー…
ヴィネガーが良いとのことで、スタッフが処置してくれ激痛が気持ち和らぎましたが、尋常ではない痛みでした。

The meeting time was 7:30, but we were actually called to the boat around 8:00. I guess it's the laid-back Thai time… I was a bit disappointed since I woke up quite early.
The meeting place is very hard to find; it's the building on the beach adjacent to the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort. It feels more like a makeshift hut than a beach house.
The weather was great on the day, and we were able to see whales about 12 times. My mother, who joined me, seemed very satisfied! However, it was quite cold, so having a windbreaker or something similar would be a good idea.
The explanations were only in English, and there were no brochures or anything. They will say, "Look in the direction of the time!" in English, so please make sure to look quickly in that direction!!
When getting off the boat, you will get wet up to your knees, so I definitely recommend participating in a skirt or pants that can be rolled up!

南国タイムなのでしょうか…だいぶ早起きしたので、少し残念に思いました。

海の家というよりは、掘建て小屋のような感じです。
当日は天気も良く、12回ほど鯨を見ることができ、一緒に参加した母も大満足の様子でした!
なお、とても寒かったので、ウインドブレーカーなどあった方が良さそうです。

First off The Two outstanding parts to this tour was Jeff; The Tour Guide and The Stars. Tour Guide Jeff, detailed intellect to the stars was fun and educational without being obnoxious. Felt very fortunate to have him as our guide. Even though the clouds didn’t corporate fully that evening the Sunset was astounding even at nine thousand foot elevation.
The Rudeness of One Local Park Ranger that evening was disappointing to witness by all in the group. He made a big deal to our Tour Guide to move the company van by honking his horn repeatedly when all he had to do was ask politely Not Nice. The other disappointment was The Gift Shop closing very early and while they were closing the gift shop personnel Didn’t allow access to the Restroom for the many guess that were present at the time. Gift shop took about 15 minutes to close up shop and during that time could’ve allowed access to Restrooms. Thank You Jeff !!! for saving our visit

First off, big thanks to Jeff for being an entertaining and super knowledgeable guide. Great customer service as well. They called us early on in the morning to let us know, to our dismay, that we wouldn’t be able to get up to the summit for our particular trip (due to many weather related circumstances that were out of their control). It was a huge bummer, but like I said, still 100% worth it to attend the abbreviated version of this excursion. I’m more of a street smarts kinda guy if you know what I mean, Jeff made everything so easy to understand and so interesting to everyone attending the trip.

I participated in this tour because it allows you to get close to whales on a small boat during whale watching. There were four Japanese participants, including my mother and me. The rest were all travelers from the mainland United States, including some small children. The captain's guidance and announcements were all in English, but he entertained us with his cheerful demeanor and acrobatic maneuvers.
The boat sped out to sea faster than I had imagined. Passengers clung to the ropes attached to the boat, and the small children were held by their mothers. The first sighting was a pod of dolphins. Their synchronized swimming was very soothing. Additionally, we were fortunate enough to encounter a group of manta rays, which seems to be rare. As for the whales, at first, we could only see them blowing water from a distance, but in the end, we saw one diving right next to the boat. It was thrilling to see it swim directly beneath us.
We had a juice and snack break on board, and on the way back, we encountered another pod of dolphins. The captain created round waves on the surface with his acrobatic steering, and the dolphins joyfully jumped in, which was incredibly cute! It was a thoroughly satisfying tour.
However, I forgot to take motion sickness medication and ended up feeling a bit groggy, so I definitely recommend taking it. Also, since the boat moves at quite a high speed, it might be a bit dangerous for those who are not confident in their ability to hold on or for elderly individuals. I highly recommend this tour for those who love thrill rides or want to see marine animals up close!
ホエールウォッチングの中でも小さな船でクジラに近付けるということで、こちらのツアーに参加しました。日本人参加者は私と母を含めて4人。ほかは全員アメリカ本土からの旅行者で、中には小さなお子さんも。船長のガイドやアナウンスはすべて英語ですが、ノリのよさとアクロバティックな操縦で楽しませてくれました。
船は想像していた以上のハイスピードで沖へ。乗客は船についているロープにしがみつき、小さなお子さんはお母さまが抱いていらっしゃいました。最初に現れたのはイルカの群れ。規則的にグループで泳ぐ姿にとても癒されました。また、これは珍しいようですがマンタの群れにも遭遇することができました。そして肝心のクジラですが、最初は遠くのほうで潮を吹いている姿しか見られなかったものの、最後には船のすぐそばで潜水。そのまま船の下を通っていく姿を間近でしっかりと見られて感動しました。
船上でのジュース&お菓子タイムを挟みつつ、帰り道にはまたもイルカの群れに遭遇。すると船長がアクロバティックな操縦で水面にまあるい波を起こし、そこにイルカたちが楽しそうに飛び込んできてとてもかわいかったです...!最後まで大満足のツアーでした。
ただ酔い止めを飲み忘れてしまいグロッキーになったので笑、必ず酔い止めは飲んだほうがいいです。また船はかなりのハイスピードで進むので、つかまる力に自信がない方やお年寄りには少し危ないかもしれません。絶叫マシンが好きな方や海の動物を近くで見たい方にはとってもおススメです!

Dolphins are wild creatures, so there's no guarantee that you'll see them, but this tour offers a high probability of encountering them. The reason for this is that the instructor drives the boat and selects snorkeling points based on the dolphins' behavior that day. They also provide detailed instructions to help you see the dolphins up close. When the dolphins appeared right in front of us, I was very excited. I believe this is the only tour where you can see wild dolphins up close with such a high probability. I had a really great time participating. Thank you!
イルカは野生の生き物なので必ず会えると言う保証はありませんがこのツアーは、ほとんどの確率で会えます。
それは何故かと言うと、インストラクターの方が船を運転してその日のイルカの調子でポイントを選んでシュノーケリングをするからです。
またイルカを間近で見るために細かい指示をしてくれます。
今回イルカがの前に現れて、とても興奮しました。これだけ高い確率で野生のイルカを間近に見ることができるツアーはここのツアーだけだと思います。

We participated as a family of four. Our family was the only group on the tour, and we had one female guide with us. After preparing the saddles, we received instructions on how to ride and handle the horses. Everything was in English, but as long as you closely follow the guide's movements, you'll be fine! The handling instructions were just four basic commands: "go," "stop," "right," and "left," so it wasn't difficult.
And finally, we set off! Along the way, we even challenged ourselves to a canter while climbing up the vast ranch towards the mountains, and when we looked back, the stunning view of the Kohala Coast came into sight. It was a wonderful view, and I'm sure you can enjoy a refreshing feeling.
All the horses are well-trained and safe, but each horse has its own personality. The horse I rode seemed to dislike mud and chose to walk on dry ground, even if it meant staying away from the other horses. In contrast, the horse my wife rode seemed to love water and splashed right into the puddles. While we experienced a bit of the difficulty in controlling the horses, it was a fun time. I highly recommend that everyone try this experience!
[Additional Note]
The wind from the mountains felt cold, so even if it's sunny, I think it's better to borrow a jacket. Also, the horses will walk through puddles and muddy areas, so your shoes might get wet or dirty, so it's advisable to borrow boots as well. Both are available for free.
家族4人で参加しました。ツアー参加者は私たち家族のみ。ガイド役の女性が一人付いてくれました。鞍の装着などの準備が整い、次に馬の乗り方や扱い方の説明を受けました。全て英語ですが、ガイドさんの動きをよく見てその通りにすれば大丈夫! 馬の扱い方といっても『進め』『止まれ』『右に』『左に』という4つの基本的な動きの伝え方だけなので難しくありませんでした。
そしていよいよ出発です。途中、駆け足にも挑戦しながら広大な牧場を山の方に向かってどんどん登っていき、振り返るとコハラコーストの絶景が目に飛び込んできました。素晴らしい眺めです。爽快な気分が味わえるはずです。
どの馬もよく調教されていて危なくはありませんが、各々の馬に個性があります。私が乗った馬は「ぬかるみ」が嫌いらしく、他の馬から離れてでも乾いたところを選んで歩きました。と思えば妻が乗った馬は水に入るのが好きなようで水たまりにジャブジャブと入ります。思い通りに動かす難しさを少々味わいながらも楽しい時間でした。皆さんもぜひ体験してください!
【追記】
山からの風は冷たく感じましたので晴れていてもジャケットは借りたほうがいいと思います。また、水たまりやぬかるんだところを馬が進みます。靴が濡れたり汚れたりすることもあるかもしれませんのでブーツも借りたほうがいいと思います。いずれも無料でお借りできます。

The view from above was great, it felt like watching drone footage.
I wanted to see the lava that flowed from the recent eruptions up close.
I couldn't get close enough with the rental car.
It was cold up there, so I recommend bringing a raincoat.
上空からの眺めは良かった、ドローンの映像をみてるようでした。
近年噴火して流れ出た溶岩がまじかで見たかった。
レンタカーでは近くまで行けなかったため。
上空は寒く、カッパを持参することをお勧めします。
