The sunset from the boat was beautiful, and the feeling of speed on the boat was enjoyable. I also got to see a manta ray, so I have no complaints. If I had to say something, I should have been better prepared for seasickness and the cold. I reflect on that.

ボートからの夕日が綺麗だし、ボートのスピード感も楽しかった。マンタも見れたし、文句なしでした。

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＞

The manta rays' rolling was incredibly powerful! 大迫力だったマンタたちのローリング！

Reviewed by: りらっつま

It takes about 30 minutes by boat from the port to Manta Point while enjoying the sunset. We lowered LED surfboards around the point to attract plankton and the manta rays that feed on them... and they appeared! After confirming their presence, we entered the water and snorkeled around the surfboards to observe the mantas. They also lent us noodles (floating poles), and we spent about 45 minutes in the water. It was an exhilarating experience to see two mantas rolling right in front of us! On the way back to the port after snorkeling, it can be chilly with just a swimsuit due to the wind. It was a good decision to rent a wetsuit, even though there was an additional fee.

港からマンタポイントまで30分ほど、夕陽を見ながら船で移動します。
ポイント周辺でLED付きのサーフボードをおろして、プランクトンと、これを食むマンタを呼ぶことしばし...。現れてくれました！
姿を確認してから海へ入り、サーフボードの周りでシュノーケリングしながらマンタ見学。ヌードル(浮きポール)も貸していただいて、45分くらい海に入っていました。
2 枚のマンタがローリングを繰り返すのを目の前で見ることができ、大興奮の体験でした！
シュノーケル後に港に戻るときは風も受けるので水着だけでは寒いと思います。追加料金が必要ですが、ウェットスーツを借りて正解でした。

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

The waves were high, but... 波が高かったけど〜

Reviewed by: YUKIKO

We participated in the tour starting at 2:00 PM. The morning tour is about $50 more expensive and includes breakfast and lunch, and if you want transportation included, it’s an additional $20. Since we went by rental car, it cost us about $100 each. I’ve been on lunch-inclusive tours a few times, but I don’t have a great impression of meals prepared on the boat! I think the morning tours attract more customers due to the wave height, but the snorkeling spots are calm, so it’s reassuring. This tour definitely requires English proficiency; if you're not confident, having a Japanese guide is a safer option. Everything on the boat is in English, including explanations and safety instructions, so you need to pay attention to avoid danger! We didn’t see any dolphins, but there were plenty of fish!

午後便で、14：00時からのツアーに参加、午前中のツアーは朝食とランチが付いて50ドル程高くなり、送迎付きだと 更に20ドル程高くなります、私達は、レンタカーで行ったので、一人100ドル程、ランチ付きのツアーは何回か行きましたが、所詮 舟の中で作る食事、あまり良いイメージがありませんので！午前にお客が偏るのは、やはり 波に高さだと思いますが、シュノーケルをするスポットは、波が無いので安心できます、このツアーは英語力は絶対必要で、自信の無い方は、日本語ガイド付きが安心です、船内は全て英語、説明 注意などなど、ちゃんと聞かないと、危険なので！イルカはみれませんでしたが、魚はたくさんいましたよ〜

Swimming with wild dolphins was an absolutely amazing experience! 野生のイルカと一緒に泳げて、最高に楽しかったです！

Reviewed by: メタボの熊

I came to the Big Island of Hawaii for the first time with three beautiful single women from Japan. Since all of us, including myself, love the ocean, we were determined to go snorkeling while in Hawaii. Because this was a quick trip, I wanted to enjoy the ocean efficiently without renting a car, so I looked for snorkeling tours and found this tour to swim with wild dolphins.

On the day of the tour, the weather was great, and we had a guide who was well-versed in the ocean and dolphin ecology. We had a wonderful time swimming with many dolphins. On our way out to sea, we encountered a very rare pilot whale, which was an exciting memory for all of us.

I definitely want to repeat this experience when I go back to the Big Island!

日本から独身の美女3人を引き連れて、初めてハワイ島に遊びに来ました。自分を含めて全員海が大好きなので、ハワイ島に来たら絶対にスノーケルをしようと思っていました。今回は弾丸旅行だったこともあり、レンタカーを借りずに効率的に海遊びをしたいと考え、ベルトラさんのスノーケリングツアーを探して、目に留まったのがこの野生のイルカと泳ぐツアーでした。

当日はお天気も良く、海やイルカの生態を知り尽くしているガイドさんにアテンドしていただき、本当にたくさんのイルカとともに楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。船で沖まで出る途中に、すごくレアなゴンドウクジラに遭遇して、みんなで興奮したのも良い思い出になりました。

Dolphin イルカ

Reviewed by: よこやま あきこ

I was thrilled by the number of dolphins that exceeded my expectations.

The day we participated was incredibly lucky; since it was just my husband and me, we had a private tour and were able to set sail early. Within about five minutes of departure, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and we hardly moved the boat at all. We were able to stay in the water and watch the dolphins for a long time.

I was impressed by Daisuke and Kevin, who were in charge that day. Their overflowing love for the dolphins and their professionalism in entertaining the guests were truly remarkable.

There are many dolphin tours available, but I absolutely recommend the Aloha Kona Tour.

予想を上回るイルカの数に大興奮しました。

私たちが参加した日は、とてもラッキーな日で、主人と2人で貸切だったこともあり、早く出航することができたので、出航して5分ほどでイルカの群れに遭遇し、ボートで移動することはほとんどなく、ずっと海に入ってイルカを見ることができました。
この日担当して下さったダイスケさん、ケビンさん、2人のイルカへの溢れる愛情と参加したお客さまを楽しませることへのプロ意識の高さに感動しました。

イルカツアーはたくさんありますが、アロハコナツアーが絶対おすすめです。

When you think of Kilauea Volcano, you imagine Halemaʻumaʻu Crater (the promotional images are actually from that location), but instead, you are shown a different crater. It's understandable with nature, but I didn't get to see any red lava at all. The pilot was friendly and cheerful, which was nice. Even though I knew it was exaggerated advertising, I was still quite disappointed.

キラウエア火山と言えばハレマウマウ火口だと想像します（実際にPR画像はその場所です）がその場所は行かずに違う火口を見せられます。自然相手では仕方ないのですが、全く赤い溶岩は見ることが出来ませんでした。パイロットはフレンドリーで明るい方でしたので好感持てました。誇大広告とはわかっていても、結構ガッカリします。

ハワイ島　シュノーケルクルーズ　SUP体験もできる充実ツアー！貸し切りプランあり＜午前／朝食・昼食付き＞ by フラカイ号

It was a comfortable and enjoyable cruising and snorkeling experience. 快適で楽しいクルージング＆シュノーケリングでした

Reviewed by: たけしー

Before participating, I had some concerns…
- Would the restrooms be cramped and dirty?
- Would it be uncomfortable on the boat?

There were no problems at all!
The restrooms were about the size of those in a one-room apartment in Tokyo, and there were two of them, making them very easy to use.
The boat was spacious, and the distance between guests was just right.

About 30 minutes after departure, we had our first cruising and breakfast!
The sea was beautiful, and we went snorkeling in a spot where the depth was about 12 to 15 meters.
It was my first time snorkeling in a place where I couldn't touch the bottom, so I was a bit nervous.
For breakfast, there was a small buffet with bread, omelet, and yogurt loaded with fruits. The fruits were so delicious that I had seconds.

After staying there for about 40 minutes, we moved to the second snorkeling point for more snorkeling and lunch.
We even encountered sea turtles!!
For lunch, we had hamburgers, and we could choose our own toppings. It was incredibly delicious, and I was thrilled.

On the way back, we cruised under a completely clear blue sky and arrived on time.

I want to go again!

参加する前に心配だった点…
・トイレは狭くて汚くないか？
・船の上は窮屈じゃないか？

全然問題なかったです！
トイレは東京の1ルームアパートのトイレくらいの広さのものが2箇所に設置されていてとても使いやすかったです。
船の上も広く、他のお客さんとの距離も適度でした。

出発してから30分位いどうして最初のクルージング＆朝食！
海がきれいで底までが12～15mくらいのところでシュノーケリングをしました。
足が届かないところでのシュノーケリングは初めてだったのでドキドキしました。
朝ごはんはパン、卵焼き、フルーツたっぷりのヨーグルトなど、小さなビュッフェ形式でした。フルーツが美味しくておかわりしちゃいました。

そこで40分位滞在してから2個めのシュノーケリングポイントに移動して、シュノーケリング＆昼食
ウミガメにも出会えました！！
お昼のハンバーグ、トッピングを自分で選べました。すごく美味しくて感激しました。

The helicopter tour was wonderful and moving, with great weather. However, I had requested a Japanese guide, and that was not the case. I understood that it wasn't guaranteed, but I thought my request should have been communicated to the operating company, so it would have been nice to receive an explanation that "there is no Japanese guide." Perhaps I was expecting too much since I have always had enjoyable experiences with VELTRA, but I was really looking forward to having a Japanese guide, so it was disappointing.

ヘリツアーは天気もよく感動的で素晴らしかった。ただ、日本人のガイド希望でオーダーしていたのに、そうではなかった点。確約ではないことは承知していましたが、リクエストは運行会社に伝わっているはずですから、「日本語ではないです」旨の説明があってもよかったのかなと思いました 。今までVELTRAさんで楽しい経験ばかりだったので期待しすぎたせいかもしれませんが、日本語ガイドを楽しみにしていただけに残念です。

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＞

The stability and comfort of the ship are outstanding. 船の安定感・快適性は抜群です。

Reviewed by: りーな

We participated in a snorkeling tour with our 5-year-old child. We often sign up for snorkeling tours when traveling, but this was our first time on a large boat, as we usually take speedboats.

Since the meeting point was local, we needed to park our rental car at the tour company's parking lot, but we were a bit confused about the location, so be careful with that. (It takes just under 50 minutes from Waikoloa.)

In this tour, we were the only Japanese participants, and the rest were Westerners, but they spoke in quite clear English, so we could get the gist of things from the atmosphere. Right after departure, there was a breakfast buffet, and soft drinks were available for free if you asked at the bar counter; our child enjoyed drinking juice. The waves were calm, so there was no spilling of drinks, and the stability was definitely different.

The snorkeling spot was quite deep (about 10 meters?), but the water was very clear, allowing us to see the bottom. While we weren't surrounded by a large number of tropical fish like at the Great Barrier Reef, we did encounter some colorful fish, which was enjoyable. The boat also had a slide and a diving board, but we didn't challenge ourselves with those... (The Westerners were diving in a lot, though!)

For lunch, we had handmade hamburgers. We could choose our own patties, buns, and vegetables to assemble our burgers. True to American style, the patties were very good and delicious, and drinks were always available, making for a comfortable and relaxing experience.

If you have small children, many snorkeling tours on the Big Island have age restrictions, often requiring participants to be 12 years or older, but this one was fine. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any dolphins, but it was a very enjoyable memory!

5歳の子供を連れてシュノーケルツアーに参加。よく旅行先ではシュノーケルツアーを申し込んでますが、今までスピードボートばかりで、今回のような大型船は初めてでした。
現地集合のため、レンタカーを催行会社の駐車場に停める必要があるのですが場所がよくわからず戸惑ってしまいましたので、かなり注意です。(ワイコロアからだと50分弱かかります)

このツアーで日本人は私たちのみで残りは欧米人しかいませんでしたが、かなりクリアな英語で話してくれるので雰囲気で内容は察せそうです。出航後すぐに朝食のビュッフェがあり、ソフトドリンクはバーカウンターの方に頼めばフリーで出してくれますし、子供はジュースを好んで飲んでいました。波も穏やかだったせいかドリンクが零れるような揺れもなく、安定感はやはり違いますね。

シュノーケルスポットは水深は深い(10m弱くらいかな？)ですがかなり海の透明度が高く、底が見えます。グレートバリアリーフのような大量の熱帯魚に囲まれることはありませんが、カラフルな魚には割と出会えるので楽しめるかと。
船にはスライダーや飛び込み台もありますが、さすがにこちらは挑戦せず…(欧米人の方はめっちゃ飛び込んでました笑)
昼食は今はハンドメイドのハンバーガーです。パティやバンズ、野菜など、自分で取って組み合わせて食べるスタイルです。さすがはアメリカ、パティの肉感がとても良く美味しく頂けましたし、常時飲み物は頂けるので、快適に寛いで過ごすことが出来ました。


小さいお子さん連れだとハワイ島のシュノーケルツアーは12歳から等の年齢制限があるものも多く参加出来ないこともありますが、こちらは大丈夫です。
私たちはイルカには残念ながら会えませんでしたが、とても楽しい思い出となりました！

Once we got into the water, we could hear the dolphins' sounds very clearly.

キラウエア火山　ドアなし ヘリコプター遊覧 ＜英語パイロット／フライト60分／ヒロ空港集合＞ by パラダイスヘリコプター

No door, as expected!! Incredible power!!! さすがのドアなし！！大迫力！！！

Reviewed by: wabo

I stayed at a hotel in Waikoloa and booked a morning flight. It takes about two hours by car to Hilo, and it was a mistake to stop by the Tex Drive-In along the way, as the road to Hilo was completely blocked due to construction!!! There was a high possibility I wouldn't make it for the 9:30 check-in, and when I called the contact number, I struggled a lot because they only spoke English... Fortunately, the third staff member I spoke to could speak a little Japanese, and I barely made it with a 30-minute delay. At the airport, there was also a staff member who assisted me in Japanese. After the briefing, just when I was ready to go, the flight for that day was canceled due to bad weather... Oh no... I was wondering what to do when another staff member who spoke Japanese came and helped me book a flight for the next day. I was really grateful!!!

The next day, I had an afternoon flight. After departing from Waikoloa, the weather started to deteriorate again, and I thought it might be canceled today too... but surprisingly, the flight was okay! It was a small helicopter with four people, including the pilot. I boarded with a bit of nervousness, and in no time, we were up in the air!!! The wind was stronger than I imagined, and I was desperately trying to hold onto my headset as it felt like it would fly away. The strong wind was also hitting my face, which was quite painful.

Although I was exhausted, when we reached the crater, I was overwhelmed by the sheer power of it. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any lava, but we circled slowly around the crater several times, capturing some impressive images.

So, I recommend this experience, but here are some tips for those who will be going:
- If you're coming from Waikoloa, I strongly recommend crossing via Daniel K. Inouye Hwy without any detours.
- If you're bringing a smartphone or video camera, a strap to hang around your neck is essential. The wind is too strong, and it could get blown away.
- It gets quite cold up there, so bring a hoodie or fleece.
- Flip-flops will be too cold, so please wear sneakers or something similar.
- If you have long hair, it's better to tie it up to avoid it hitting your face. I was in the back seat, and the wind coming from the back to the front was so strong that it hit my face and eyes, making it really painful to the point of tears. At one point, I had to put on my hoodie and hold my head down.

ワイコロアのホテルに宿泊し、午前中のフライトを予約しました。ヒロまで車でだいたい２時間として、途中テックドライブインに寄り道したのが間違いで、ヒロに入る道が道路工事でぜんぜん進まない！！！９時３０分のチェックインには間に合わない可能性大ということで、連絡先に電話するも英語のみの対応で大苦戦。。。３人目に日本語が少し話せるスタッフが対応してくれて、なんとか３０分の遅刻でギリギリセーフ。空港でも日本語で対応してくれたスタッフが待っていてくました。講習も終わって、いよいよと思っていたら、天候不良のためその日のフライトは中止・・・トホホ・・・どうしようかと思っていたらまたしても日本語対応のスタッフが来てくれて、翌日のフライトを予約してくれました。本当に助かりました！！！
そして、翌日は午後のフライト。ワイコロアを出発してから、天候がまたも崩れ始め、今日もダメかも・・・と思っていのですが、なんとフライトOK！
パイロットも含め４人乗りのちっちゃなヘリでした。やや緊張しつつ乗り込むとあっと言う間に上空へ！！！
想像以上に風が強くて、ヘットセッドが風で飛んでしまいそうで必死に抑えていました。それと強風で髪の毛が顔にガンガン当たって痛いのなんの。。
ヘロヘロになりながらでしたが、火口の上空に来た時は、あまりの迫力に圧倒されました。残念ながら溶岩は見えなかったのですが、火口の周りを何度もゆっくりと旋回して、大迫力の画像が撮れました。
ということで、お勧めなのですが、これから行かれる方にアドバイス
・ワイコロアから行かれる方は、寄り道せずに、Daniel k.lnouye Hwyで横断していくことを強くお勧めします。
・スマホやビデオを持って行かれるかたは、首から下げるストラップは必須。
　風が強すぎて持って行かれれます。
・上空は相当寒いです。パーカーやフリース持って行きましょう。
・ビーサンでは寒いのでスニーカーなどでお願いします。
・髪が長い方は縛った方が良いです。とにかく顔に当たらないように。
私は後ろの席だったのですが、とにかく、後ろから前に来る風がすごくて、顔や目に当たって本当に涙が出るほど痛かったです。途中でパーカー被って頭を抑えていたくらいですから。

There were wonderful things too. 素晴らしいこともあったよ

Reviewed by: sho

One thing that was a bit disappointing was that I couldn't see any lava. Even though I was looking down into the crater, it was just a big hole because it had calmed down. I thought I would be able to see the lava entering the sea, but it seems that either there was never a plan for that, or it was no longer possible due to the calm.

The optional trip down to the base of the waterfall was amazing. I can't really gauge the true scale, but it felt like being at the bottom of Kegon Falls, looking up from below. There was no one else around, so it felt like a private waterfall. There's only enough space for one helicopter to land, and I don't think you can get there by car. I highly recommend this optional tour.

The helicopter guide and pilot was a Japanese person. It seems that the group I happened to be with had booked through the guide's website, which is why a Japanese guide was assigned. Requesting a Japanese guide might not be very effective.

Lastly, it was my first time on a helicopter, and if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication. The vibrations from the helicopter can make you feel queasy. The flight itself wasn't scary, and even though it was my first time, I didn't feel particularly moved by it (laughs).

少しガッカリしたことは溶岩が見れなかったこと。火口を上から見てるのに、沈静化したためにただの大きな穴でした。溶岩が海に入っていくところが見れるのかと思っていたら、もともとそんな予定がなかったのか、沈静化したことでなくなったなのか、見れませんでした。
オプショナルの滝の麓に降りるやつは凄かったです。本当の規模はわかりませんが、華厳の滝の滝つぼ付近に降りたってしたから上を見るような感じです。私たち以外誰もいませんのでプライベート滝？です。ヘリコプター1台が降り立つスペースしかないし、車では来れないと思います。このオプショナルはオススメです。
ヘリコプターのガイド兼操縦士さんは日本人の方でした。どうやらたまたま一緒に乗り合わせたグループの方がガイドさんのホームページから予約されたため、日本人の方がガイドに着いたようです。日本語ガイドの希望を出しても、あまり意味が無いかもです。
最後に、ヘリコプターに初めて乗りましたが、酔いやすい人は酔い止め飲んだ方がいいかもです。ヘリコプターの振動が酔いそうになります。飛行自体は怖くもなく、初めて乗ったのですが、あまり感動はなかったです(笑)

Chasing dolphins while snorkeling is hard work! バンドウイルカ追っかけシュノーケリングハードワーク！

Reviewed by: もっとさん

I participated in dolphin snorkeling for the first time on the Big Island of Hawaii. I thought it would be a diving boat, but it turned out to be a Zodiac. The captain and the navigator were humorous and taught us a lot. It seemed that other boats were also searching for dolphins, but most of them couldn't find any, and the main Spinner Dolphins were elusive. However, we did spot the endangered Hawaiian monk seal along the way! After that, we zoomed around in the Zodiac, holding on tight, and discovered a pod of bottlenose dolphins! Unlike the Spinner Dolphins, they don't approach humans, so when we got close, they would dive away. Thanks to the captain's determination, we were able to see about six of them up close, which was fantastic!!!

However, preparing and challenging myself multiple times was tough for a guy over 50.

初めてハワイ島でイルカシュノーケリングへ参加しました。

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 fun, like a cruise! クルーズみたいで楽しかった！

Reviewed by: Aik

I was the only Japanese person, but the staff took photos for me, and other guests took photos as well, which was fun.

I was often asked how I found this tour.

There were slides, and they had floaties and other equipment ready, which made me feel very secure. It seems you can also drink alcohol if you pay extra.
For breakfast, there were bread, muffins, fruits, and scrambled eggs? For lunch, there were hamburgers and pasta.

The taste was okay.

You can have a great time even alone.

日本人はわたしだけでしたが、スタッフの人が写真を撮ってくれたり、お客さんが写真を撮ってくれたりして楽しかった。

やたら、どうやってこのツアーを見つけたの？みたいなことを聞かれてた。

滑り台があったり、浮き輪などもしっかり準備されていて、とても安心できました。お金を払えばお酒も飲めるようです。
朝食はパン、マフィン、フルーツ、卵焼き？、飲み物、お昼はハンバーガーとパスタ。

味はまぁまぁかな？

1人でも十分楽しめます。

It was a series of great excitement! 大興奮の連続でした！

Reviewed by: ユウキチ

I was so thrilled to encounter the dolphins during my first snorkeling experience. It was a mystical and incredibly beautiful experience that I can't put into words. Please be sure to try it out. Thank you, Daisuke, for your guidance. I think we were a bit of a handful, but we had a great time. I had a very good experience there. Everyone, please participate. If I go to the Big Island, I want to join again. Daisuke, you'll be fine at Kansai Airport. Have fun in Norway!

初めてのシュノーケリングで、めっちゃイルカちゃん達に、出逢えて感激です。神秘的で、言葉にできないほど、美しい経験が出来ました。是非、体感して下さい。インストラクターの大輔君ありがとうございました。。。私達夫婦足手まといやったと思うけど、すごい楽しませて頂きました。I had a very good experience there. 皆さん是非参加して下さい。ハワイ島に行ったら、また参加したいです。大輔君、関空大丈夫よん。ノルウェーで楽しんで来て下さい。

ハワイ島 パラセイリング ＜午前・午後／カイルアコナ発＞ by UFO Parasail

First parasailing 初パラセーリング

Reviewed by: aaa

I went parasailing for the first time! Instead of sitting in a chair, you are secured with lots of ropes and go up. You float up there for about 10 minutes. The hardware creaked, which added to the thrill, but it was so much fun! It says to bring motion sickness medication, and since the swaying can be intense and you're on the boat the whole time while others are floating, I recommend taking it if you're prone to motion sickness!

始めてパラセーリングをしました！
椅子に座るのではなく、たくさんの紐で安定させて上に行きます。上で浮いているのは10分ほどです。金具がギシギシ言うのでスリル満点でしたが、とっても楽しかったです！
持ち物に酔い止めと書いてありますが、揺れが激しいのと、他の方が浮いてる時はずっと船に乗っているので、酔いやすい方は飲むことをお勧めします！

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＞

The female guide was very good. ガイドの女性がとても良かったデス。

Reviewed by: まきこ

The Japanese female guide was very cheerful and pleasant. I felt reassured because I wanted someone who could speak Japanese to guide us, and her bright demeanor helped ease my tension.

I was a bit anxious about entering the sea at night, but the guide explained everything properly and went in first, which allowed me to follow and jump in as well. Once I jumped in, there was nothing to be afraid of, and I was able to grab onto a float right away.

In the end, five manta rays came to us, which was breathtaking. I don't think there are many opportunities to get so close to wild creatures.

It was an amazing experience. I believe this is one activity I would recommend to everyone.

ガイドの日本人女性がとても明るくて感じが良かったです。
アクティビティーは出来れば日本語の出来る方にガイドしてもらいたかったので安心出来ましたし、明るく接して下さったので、緊張もほぐれました。

夜の海に入るのは少し不安があったのですが、ガイドの女性がキチンと説明もしてくれて、先に入ってくれたので、私も続いてドボンと飛び込む事が出来ました。飛び込んでしまえば、怖い事はなく、すぐに浮きにつかまることが出来ました。

マンタは結局、5枚も来てくれて圧巻でした。
あんなに野生の生き物との距離が近くなるなんてなかなか無いと思います。

凄い体験でした。
これは皆さんに勧めたいアクティビティの一つだと思いました。

ドルフィン・クエスト　イルカと触れ合えるプログラムが充実！キッズ向けプログラム＜ヒルトン・ワイコロア・ビレッジ内＞

It's an exciting and valuable experience! ワクワクする貴重な体験です！

Reviewed by: きたたっく

This is an activity you can experience near the lagoon pool at Waikoloa Village. An instructor will accompany each group, allowing you to interact with dolphins. Even if you can't swim, the life jackets provide enough buoyancy, so you'll be fine!

You won't be able to take photos with your own camera. A photographer will take pictures for you, which you'll need to purchase. We received all the photos (81 images) on a USB. It is a bit pricey, but since it's a rare experience that you can't usually have, it might be worth it.

ワイコロアビレッジのラグーンプール近くの場所で体験できるアクティビティです。インストラクターの方が、それぞれのグループ毎に付いてくれて、イルカと触れ合う事ができます。泳げない人でもライフジャケットが相当浮力があるので大丈夫ですよ！
自分達のカメラでは写真が撮れません。カメラマンの方が写真を撮ってくださるので購入する必要があります。私達は、全ての写真（81枚）のデータをUSBに入れてもらいました。少しお値段がはりますが、普段できない貴重な体験ですので、仕方がないかもしらませんね。

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 moved! 感動しました！

Reviewed by: おじょう

I originally had a tour booked, but two days prior, I received an email saying it was canceled due to the tour company's circumstances, which made me anxious to book this one instead. I felt very disappointed, but I had an amazing time! When I shared the series of events with the guide, they provided an explanation that made sense to us, saying, "This is probably what happened." I was so moved to see the manta rays up close, it was unbelievable! Next, I will also participate in the dolphin tour!

もともと予約していたツアーが２日前に急遽、ツアー会社の都合でキャンセルとメールがきて焦ってこちらを予約しました。気持ち的には非常に残念だったのですが、とてもとても楽しめました！ガイドに方に一連の出来事をお話したら、「恐らくこういうことだろう」と自分たちとしては納得のいく説明もしていただけました。マンタも信じられないぐらい近くで見れて感動しかありません！次はイルカのツアーにも参加させていただきます！

野生のマンタ　シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞

I participated again! またまた参加しちゃいました

Reviewed by: たーさん

I really enjoyed this tour, and I think this is my fourth time participating. This time, the tour was especially amazing! There were about eight manta rays? There were so many that it was hard to keep track. In the past, there were times when they didn't show up at all, so since it's in the wild, there's no guarantee you'll see them, but I definitely think it's worth participating. Also, this boat is large, which makes it comfortable and gives a sense of security.

Previously, we borrowed wetsuits at the check-in office, but now the handover has changed to the boat boarding area. Additionally, the tour used to have only one departure per day, but now there are two, an early and a late option. We participated in the early departure.

このツアーはとても気に入っていて、これで4回目くらいの参加になるでしょうか。
特に今回のツアーは最高でした！
マンタの数も８枚くらい？とにかくいっぱいでよくわからないくらいでした。
以前、全く現れない事もあったので、野生だから必ず見れる保証はないですが、参加する価値は十分あると思います。
また、この船は大きいので落ち着くし安心感があります。

このツアー、以前はチェックインのオフィスでウェットスーツを貸していただいたのですがボート乗り場での受け渡しに変更になっていました。
また、ツアーも以前は1日1便でしたが、早めと遅めの2便になっていました。
私たちは早めの便に参加しました。

Reviewed by: Mitz

All communication with the staff is in English. The reception staff explained everything clearly so that we could understand, which was very helpful. The boarding staff also made sure we had a great time, and although the flight was only about 10 minutes, we were able to enjoy a panoramic view of the magnificent nature and cityscape of the Big Island, creating wonderful memories.

スタッフとのコミュニケーションはすべて英語です。受付ではこちらが理解できるよう丁寧に説明してくれて、大変ありがたかったです。乗船スタッフもこちらが楽しめるよう盛り上げてくれて、10分ほどの飛行でしたが、ハワイ島の雄大な自然と街並みを一望できて、楽しい思い出となりました。
