ハワイ島 セグウェイで巡るカイルア・コナ名所散策ツアー!サンセットプランあり<英語ガイド>

I enjoyed 120 minutes of Kona's history and sunset! 120分でコナの歴史と夕焼けを堪能しました!

Reviewed by: fufu

We participated in a 120-minute history and sunset tour with one experienced person and one inexperienced person! We were fortunate to have three staff members: one guide, one support person, and one for photo and video shooting. My companion, who was trying a Segway for the first time, was able to relax and enjoy a great time.

Since it was a weekday, the roads weren't crowded, and we got to ride in places like a botanical garden and an old airport runway that you can't experience elsewhere. The breathtaking sunset was so moving that it brought tears to my eyes, and they took many photos and videos for us. It was truly a fulfilling tour!

I can confidently recommend this wonderful tour to anyone. If you're trying a Segway for the first time, this is a safe choice! 😊

経験者一人と未経験者一人の計二人で120分の歴史と夕焼けのコースに参加しました!
スタッフはガイドさん一人、後方支援一人、写真&ビデオ撮影一人の計三人も付いてくれて恐縮でしたが、セグウェイ初体験だった連れも安心して楽しい時間を過ごせました。
平日だったので道も混雑していなかったし、植物園や昔の空港の滑走路など、他では体験出来ないような場所で走れたこと、感動して涙が出るような夕陽がゆっくり見られたこと、写真やビデオもお任せでたくさん撮って頂いたこと、本当に充実したツアーでした!
どなたにも安心してお勧め出来る素晴らしいツアーです(^^)
セグウェイ初体験の方もここなら安心ですよ。

Family-Friendly Kohala & Waikoloa Whale Watching and Sailing Tour - Ocean Sports [Dec - Mar]

Absolutely worth the price, good for all ages!

Reviewed by: Alyssa Romeo

Obviously the tour does not summon the whales at their leisure, but we saw honestly 10+ whales (maybe some of the same ones) over a period of an hour and a half and it was incredible. I have so many photos that I can’t wait to post on social. Regardless of actually seeing the whales, the tour was not only educational but it was a smooth ride, very fun and friendly and we even used a hydro microphone that picked up the whales talking to eachother around us. It was nothing I’ve ever heard before, they are so loud!! I would recommend the early trip for any older folks (we took my grandma who is 78) and/or any easily motion sick people. Overall completely worth the price and waking up “early” on vacation.

Reviewed by: ちっちʕʘ‿ʘʔ☆

I participated on January 2, 2109. At first, I was a bit nervous, but thanks to Masako's thorough explanations, I had a great time. The 90 minutes spent learning about the church and Hawaiian history, along with taking lots of photos, made for an amazing day. The president's antics were also fun (laughs). I definitely want to participate again.

Also, when I returned to Japan, I received photos and videos from the president, which was really touching—such professional work! The footage was fantastic. Thank you very much.

2109年1月2日参加しました。最初はビクビクでしたが、まさこさんの丁寧な説明のおかげで凄く楽しめました。90分教会やハワイアンの歴史など説明や写真も沢山撮ってくれて最高な一日でした。社長さんの暴走も楽しかったですよ( 笑 )また是非参加したいです。
あと日本に帰ってみると、社長さんから写真や動画など送らろてきて感動プロですね〜最高の映像でした。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー 滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く!<午前・午後/英語ガイド/食事付>by フェアウィンド号

It was beautiful. きれいでしたよ

Reviewed by: はるを

Since it was a last-minute booking, I couldn't reconfirm until the day before, but I was able to participate without any issues. It takes about 40-50 minutes to get from Keauhou to Kealakekua Bay. During that time, they distribute fins and masks. Many people were snorkeling while wearing floaties or floats (available for rent). Since I had a 4-year-old and an 8-year-old with me, we were able to borrow a large boogie board (with a window to see underwater). It was a bit chilly because the sun was behind the clouds, so we got back on the boat partway through, but we enjoyed watching foreign guests having fun on the slide until the end. On the way there, pretzels and juice were served in the galley on the first floor, and on the way back, fruit was added. The crew also came up to the second floor to distribute snacks. Even though our English wasn't great, the crew made an effort to communicate with us.

直近の申し込みだったためか、前日までのリコンファームができなかったのに問題なく参加できました。
ケアウホウを出港してケアラケクア湾まで4-50分かかります。その間にフィンとマスクを配ってくれます。
多くの人が浮き輪やフロート(貸し出し)を着けてシュノーケルしていました。4才と8才連れだったので、大きなビート板(水中みられる窓つき)を貸してもらえました。陽がかげっていたので寒かったため途中で船に上がりましたが、最後までスライダーを楽しむ外国人をみたり、それはそれで楽しめました。
行きの船ではプレッツェルとジュースが1階のギャレーで提供され、帰りにはフルーツが追加されます。クルーが2階にも配りに来てくれます。
英語がいまいちな我々にもクルーはややコミュニケーションをとろうとしてくれました。

Big Island Snorkel Cruise to the Kohala Coast & Waikoloa with Lunch and Open Bar - Ocean Sports

If you're gonna do a snorkel cruise, do this one

Reviewed by: Christina

This was THE COOLEST snorkel excursion. First they picked us up from our hotel, RAD. They have a marine biologist on board that taught us a lot about the creatures we'd be seeing and the ecosystem which was fascinating. The area they took us to was a gorgeous reef and we saw some amazing fish and sea creatures. The marine biologist was even diving for starfish that he showed everyone and let us pet while we were in the water. We got a good hour and a half of snorkeling and then it was time for a tasty sandwich bar lunch. On the way back was, yes what you've all been waiting for, an OPEN BAR. Those were the best drinks I got on the island. It was awesome, big shout out to the amazing crew.

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

The dolphins appeared right in front of me, and it was so moving! イルカたちが目の前に現れ,とっても感動しました!

Reviewed by: kokiyuki

I participated on January 2, 2019. I was really worried about what would happen if we capsized, but that never happened until the end (we participated as a 44-year-old father, 42-year-old mother, 14-year-old eldest son, and 12-year-old second son). Along the way, we were able to see dolphins up close. Our guide, Noni, spoke perfect Japanese, which made it easy for my middle school children to participate comfortably.

However, there was one point. I thought it might be better to have gloves for paddling, as it would prevent pain at the base of both thumbs. (My second-year middle school child said their thumb was hurting from the pressure.) I think it's best to wear swimsuits in advance and keep personal belongings to a minimum (water is provided during the tour, and there’s no time to apply sunscreen. If you have already settled payments with a credit card in advance, a tip for the guide should be sufficient).

2019/1/2に参加しました。
転覆したらどうしようって,本当に心配したのですが,
そんなことは最後までありませんでした(44歳父,42歳母,14歳長男,12歳二男で参加。)。
途中,イルカを間近で見ることもできました。
ガイドのノニさん,完璧な日本語で,中学生の子どもたちも,安心して参加できました。
ただ,一点だけ。パドルをこぐのに,それぞれ軍手があった方が,両手の親指の付け根が痛くならなくて済むのではないかなーと思いました。
(中2の子どもが,親指の付け根が当たって痛い痛い,と言っていましたので。)
水着は予め着用,手荷物は最小限(水は,ツアーについてますし,日焼け止めは,塗るヒマもありません。お金は,事前にクレジットカードで清算しているのであれば,ガイドさんのチップくらいで大丈夫。)にして,参加するのがよいと思います。

Reviewed by: muu_

I couldn't meet the 270 manta rays because there were reports of sharks that eat mantas... but a few days later, I was able to switch to a dolphin experience! I recommend booking early in your stay so you can make changes if needed. If you bring your smartphone, you can take photos on the boat. There was also time to enjoy the sunset. When we went, we were the only Japanese people there, but we had a Japanese guide who made it enjoyable.

マンタを食べるサメが出没中とのことで270枚いるはずのマンタに逢えず…でしたが数日後のイルカに振り替えて貰えました!行くときは振り替えられるよう滞在の前半に申し込むのがおススメです。スマホ持って行くとボートの中で写真撮ってもらえますよ。夕日を眺められる時間あり。行ったときは私たち以外海外の人でしたが、日本人ガイドが付いて下さって楽しめました。

Since I didn't have any other sightseeing activities planned, I chose the historical walking tour. I was a bit anxious about being able to ride properly on public roads for the first time, but after a short training session, even my sixth-grade child was able to ride without any difficulty and was overjoyed. The Japanese female guide was truly enjoyable, providing explanations and guidance about Hawaii's historical sites and shops. We also had photos and videos taken, making it a memorable tour.

I had the number one experience during my stay!! 滞在中No1の体験ができました!!

Reviewed by: こうき

I was worried because I have little experience with snorkeling, but I received great support and was able to participate with peace of mind. The swim guides seemed to constantly share information about the dolphins, and thanks to their judgment on where to take us, I was able to see many dolphins!

(If the dolphin sighting location is far away, I think it's good to have motion sickness medication for those who are concerned.)

Also, while on the boat, Daisuke, the swim guide, shared a lot of information about the dolphins and always let us know when dolphins were nearby, which made the waiting time enjoyable.

Additionally, we were lucky enough to encounter whales during the winter season, allowing us to experience both dolphin swimming and whale watching, which was a double delight!

There may be other dolphin swim tours, but this tour was satisfying in every aspect, including knowledge about dolphins, support, and the friendliness of the staff! If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would love to do this again.

シュノーケリング等の経験が浅いので心配でしたが、しっかりとフォローしてもらい、安心して参加できました★
スイムガイドさん達も常にイルカの情報をシェアしあっているようで、ちゃんとイルカが見られる場所までその場その場の判断で連れてってくださったおかげでたくさんのイルカをみることができました!!^^
(イルカの出現場所によっては遠くなることもあるので心配な方は酔い止めがあるといいと思います)

また、船に乗っている間もスイムガイドのダイスケさんがイルカに関する情報を沢山お話ししてくださり、
常にイルカがあそこにいる!ということも教えてくれたので泳ぐまでの時間も楽しむことができました。

さらに冬季限定でクジラも運良く遭遇することができ、ホエールウォッチングもでき一石二鳥の感動を味わうことができました!

ドルフィンスイムツアーは他にもあるかもしれませんが、イルカに関する知識やサポート、スタッフさんの感じの良さ、全てにおいて満足できるツアーでした!!またハワイに行く機会があればお願いしたいです(^^)

As mentioned in the experience, when I went to the reception after 5 o'clock, there was a huge line. After the reception, there was the purchase of leis and photo taking, which seemed to take some time. The seating was full. Since the food was served from the front seats, I was nervous that there might not be any food left by the time it got to the back, but they kept replenishing it, so I was able to eat plenty. The dish with pork steamed in leaves and the dessert were delicious. The view of the harbor and Kona at sunset was amazing and beautiful!! The luau was packed with Kahiko, hula, Tahitian, and fire performances. However, my child got tired and fell asleep halfway through, but they were satisfied with the food. It was a lot of fun.

ケアウホウ湾 シーカヤック&シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>by オーシャンサファリ・カヤック

Sea kayaking and snorkeling シーカヤックとシュノーケリング

Reviewed by: hashnao

After paddling for about 30 minutes by sea kayak to the destination's shallow area, we entered the sea directly from the kayak to go snorkeling. The underwater visibility is very clear, and there are a decent variety and quantity of fish, so those who want to enjoy both kayaking and snorkeling should be satisfied. By the way, snorkeling is optional, and about 20% of participants did not go snorkeling. Since we paddle the kayak both ways, we don't progress while listening to the guide's explanations, so if you want to hear the guide's insights, it might be a good idea to actively engage in conversation.

The sea cave is not a long cave that extends for dozens of meters; it's about 3 to 5 meters in total length. When you enter the cave with the kayak, you get swept away more quickly by the waves when they return, so it's more about enjoying that experience. There is also a point where you can jump into the sea from a cliff about 5 meters high, so you can optionally jump from the cliff into the sea.

Before getting on the kayak, there is a briefing where they explain how to paddle. The explanation is all in English, but if you have experience paddling a boat, you should be able to understand the basic instructions in English. Additionally, there was one guide who could explain using very simple Japanese words necessary for kayaking (like left, right, stop, etc.).

Since everyone participating this time had kayaking experience, the pace of paddling was quite fast, but I believe the guide adjusts the pace based on the participants' skills and how many times they have kayaked before. Especially for those from Western countries, they tend to have good stamina, so if you're not confident in your physical strength, I recommend mentioning that during the briefing. During the briefing, you will be asked if you need a life jacket for kayaking. Since you will also use a life jacket while snorkeling, it's best to communicate your need for one during the briefing.

シーカヤックで片道30分ほど目的地の浅瀬に向かった後、海上で直接カヤックから海に入って、シュノーケリングをします。海中の透明度は非常にクリアで、魚の種類と量もそれなりにいるので、カヤックとシュノーケリングを同時に楽しみたい方は満足できるはずです。ちなみにシュノーケリングは任意で、参加した方の2割はシュノーケリングをしていませんでした。行きと帰りはカヤックを漕ぐので、ガイドの説明を横で聞きながら進むというわけではなく、ガイドから説明を聞きたい場合は積極的に話しかけたほうがいいかもしれません。海中洞窟(シーケーブ)は数十メートルも続くような洞窟ではなく、全長3~5m程度で、そこにカヤックで入ると波が戻る際に波の力でより早く流されるので、それを楽しむ程度です。また高さ5m程度の崖から海に飛び込むポイントもあるので、任意で崖から海に飛び込むことができます。
カヤックに乗る前にブリーフィングがありカヤックの漕ぎ方について説明があります。説明は全て英語ですが、ボートを漕いだことがある方なら基本的な説明は英語でも理解できると思います。また、カヤックの動作に必要なごくごく簡単な日本語の単語(左右、止まるなど)で説明することができるガイドが1人いました。
今回参加した全員がカヤックの経験者だったため、カヤックを漕ぐペースはかなり早めでしたが、ガイドが参加者のスキルやカヤックに乗ったことがある回数によってペースを合わせると思います。特に欧米の方は体力があるので、体力に自信がない方は、ブリーフィングの際にその旨を伝える事をお勧めします。ブリーフィングでカヤックに乗る際、ライフジャケットが必要か聞かれます。シュノーケリングをする際もライフジャケットを利用するので、シュノーケリングでライフジャケットが必要な方はブリーフィングの際に伝えた方がよいと思います。

I participated in the morning session. Although I had experience kayaking on rivers, this was my first time sea kayaking, but there was a thorough briefing before we entered the ocean. As soon as we got into the water, we encountered a pod of dolphins. It was a very lucky start to our trip. Along the way, some of the children got seasick, but one of the two guides accompanied us back to the bay, and after a short rest, we were able to enjoy snorkeling safely in the bay. They took many photos and sent them to us via email, which made for wonderful memories.

午前の回に参加しました。
川でのカヤック経験はあったものの、シーカヤックは初体験でしたが、海に入る前に丁寧なレクチャーがありました。

I drove to the Hiro area by rental car. I received an explanation on-site and got to ride in a helicopter. I was shown the bubbling of the volcano. I felt a bit nauseous at times, but it was okay.

ヒロ地区までレンタカーで行きました。
現地で説明を受けて、ヘリコプターに乗せてもらいました。
火山のボコボコも見せてもらいました。
多少酔いそうになりましたが、大丈夫でした。

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ <12~3月/午前/軽食付き/ワイコロアまたはカワイハエ港発>

It was an English tour, but I was able to enjoy whale watching without any issues. 英語のツアーでしたが無事にホエールウォッチングを楽しめました。

Reviewed by: Yuka

My English skills were below the level of daily conversation, but I was able to enjoy the experience without any problems.

【Before Boarding the Boat】
At the scheduled time, a small bus came to pick us up at the hotel front. We were dropped off near the sea close to Waikoloa and were told, "Come back here when you're done. Also, please fill out the consent form over there before boarding the boat." We headed towards a beach house on the sand. After completing the electronic signature on a device that looked like a tablet, we waited for about 10 minutes until a small boat arrived, and we boarded it. We transferred from the small boat to a larger boat just before going out to sea. There were only two of us from Japan participating.

【Whale Watching Experience】
Seating on the boat was free. Since it was an English tour, I couldn't understand what was being said at all (laughs). The boat was also swaying, so when standing up to take pictures of the whales, everyone stood, so please make sure to hold onto the ropes or handrails tightly. Although it was far away, we were able to see the whales spouting water about 4 to 5 times and also witnessed a low jump of a whale arching its back. It was a precious experience where I could feel the great nature of Hawaii Island. The crew was a kind young man. He said, "You can almost see whales every day! Dolphins are occasional. There are more in Kona than here." I was shown a picture of the boat getting very close to a whale by the crew, and I was amazed at how impressive it was. Since it depends on luck whether you see whales or not, I thought, "There are lucky days like this." By the way, the two of us did not get seasick.

【After Whale Watching】
Around 9:30, we got off the boat and transferred to a small boat to return to the beach. We boarded the bus we took on the way there and safely arrived back at the hotel front, marking the end of the tour.

Since it was my first experience with whale watching, I’m glad I participated! While waiting for the whales, I also enjoyed cruising. I could see the mountains like Mauna Kea in the distance and the beautiful coastline, making for a graceful time.

日常会話レベル以下の英語力でしたが、特に問題なく楽しむことができました。

【船に乗るまで】
時間になったらホテルのフロントまで小型バスが迎えに来てくれました。
ワイコロアから程近い海に降ろされ「終わったらここに戻ってきてね。それと船に乗る前に同意書は向こうで書いてね。」と言われ、砂浜にある海の家(?)に向かいます。タブレットのような機械で電子サインを済ませ10分ほど待つと小さな船が来たので乗りました。
沖より少し手前で小さな船から大きな船に移ります。
日本人参加者は私達2人だけでした。

【ホエールウォッチング体験】
船の席は自由です。英語ツアーなので私は何を言っているかはちんぷんかんぷんでした(笑)。
また船は揺れるので立ち上がってクジラの写真を撮る際は、皆立つのでしっかりロープや手すりにつかまってください。
遠かったですが4〜5回クジラの潮吹きを見ることができ、クジラの反り返りの低いジャンプも見ることができました。ハワイ島の大自然を感じられた瞬間で貴重な体験でした。
クルーも親切なお兄ちゃんでした。「クジラは毎日ほぼ見れるよ!イルカはたまに。ここよりもコナの方がいるよ。」とのこと。クルーのお兄ちゃんに船でクジラに大接近してる画像を見せてもらい、大迫力すぎて驚きました。自然相手なのでクジラに会えるor会えないは運ですが、こういうラッキーな日もあるんだなぁと思いました。ちなみに、私達2人は船酔いせずに済みました。

【ホエールウォッチングを終えて】
9:30頃船から降りて、また小さい船に移動し砂浜へ戻ります。行きに乗ったバスに乗り込み、無事にホテルのフロントに到着し無事にツアー終了となりました☆

ホエールウォッチングは初めての経験だったので、参加してよかったです!またクジラを待ってる間はクルージングとして楽しみましたよ。遠くの方にマウナケア等の山が見えて美しい海岸も見ることができ優雅な時間でした。

  • 船からは遠かったですがクジラの尾びれが!

  • クジラが反り返った瞬間を見ることができました。

I was able to see dolphins up close! イルカを真近で見れました!

Reviewed by: kodama

All the tour guides were kind and very interesting! They shared a lot of love and knowledge about dolphins, which made it enjoyable on its own. They provided precise support to ensure we had a good encounter with the dolphins during the actual tour. It was really fun! I'm glad I chose this tour. I would like to book a tour here again when I go to Hawaii!

ツアーガイドの方がどの方も親切で、とっても面白い!
イルカに対する愛情と知識も沢山話していただいて、それだけでも楽しめました(^^)
実際のツアーでもイルカにしっかり遭遇できるように的確にサポートしてくださいます。
本当に楽しかったです!
このツアーにして良かった☆
またハワイに行くときはこちらでツアーを頼みたいと思います^_^

Reviewed by: maichap

As we slowly glided over the mirror-like surface of the sea, we witnessed the spouting of whales and their diving. On the way back, we were treated to a pod of dolphins. It was a moving experience to realize that life can offer such moments!

鏡のような海面をゆっくり走ると、クジラの潮吹き、ダイビングを見学。帰り道はイルカの群生というおまけ付き。人生にこんな時間があるのだと、感動!

I was looking forward to it, but... 期待していたけど…

Reviewed by: ミシェル

I signed up because I wanted to see whales, but in the end, I couldn't see any. All I saw were a few small sharks and dolphins in the distance. Since both the sharks and dolphins were far away, it wasn't very exciting, and with nothing to see in the vast ocean, the nearly three-hour duration became quite boring. Considering it was a bit pricey for a cruise, I wonder if I can endure it...

クジラを見たくて申し込みしましたが…
結局クジラを見ることは出来ず。
遠いところに、何頭かの小さいサメと イルカだけ。サメもイルカも遠いところだったので、
感動もそれほどなく大海原の景色も
何も見えないと、3時間近い時間は飽きてきます。ちよっと高額なクルージングと思えば、
ガマンできますかね…。
