I was skeptical about whether I could really see whales up close, but I was able to see them several times. The drinks and snacks on board were plentiful, but unfortunately, I couldn't enjoy them much because the boat was rocking quite a bit.
本当に近くでクジラが見れるのか、疑心暗鬼でしたが何度も近くでクジラを見る事が出来た。船内の飲み物やスナック類も充実していたが、船がかなり揺れていた為実際にはあまり飲むことが出来ずに残念だった。

I've always wanted to learn how to surf and Jason was totally awesome and fun to work with. Although there were high surf warnings and strong current warnings going on at the time, I nailed a perfect 10, according to him, on only my 5th wave. I later got 3 in a row, including standing up, surfing the wave, and laying back down again without falling in the blue water below. I quickly caught on to many of the trends, such as interpreting the waves and knowing when to go for it. The first thing to do with learning most any skill is to find patterns.
Jason called me a natural at it, and I believe it, given how quickly I learned and how enjoyable my experience was. It did take me a bit of time to get used to getting up to the standing position from laying down, but the classroom-like aspect of the first segment really helped with that.
I would say the hardest part about this whole thing was finding a parking space for where you'd be doing the actual surfing itself. If you're lucky, you could find parking along the street close by, but chances are, you'll need the parking lot that's close to around 700 feet away, but what's a little walking when you've got a lot of paddling to do? It's a nice warm up, at least, to prepare yourself.
I chose the one on one option mainly because I felt it was going to be a skill I wanted to use in other locations. Little did I know, it actually ensured I could do this as everyone but me canceled due to the surf conditions.

Even though my English is not very good, they spoke slowly, and it became a very good memory. However, we were supposed to meet at 8:30, but it took almost an hour to get to the horseback riding, so there seems to be room for improvement there.

Fortunately, the weather was favorable, and I was able to achieve my goal of visiting the Big Island of Hawaii. Additionally, I was pleased to have a Japanese pilot as I had hoped, who provided explanations at key points in Japanese. The magma at the Kilauea volcano's crater can only be seen by helicopter!

Watching rays swoop in from the darkness was amazing.
Our dive master was well informed and even gave us a great recommendation for a beach to hit the next day.
If I had any quibbles with the excursion is that from the time we left the dock until the time we went back to the dock we were only out for about 1hr and 15 minutes.
We were aware that the excursion had a max time of 2 hrs+ but would have loved to spend more time in the water after sunset and the Rays actually came out.
The excursion was still great though and it’s certainly a recent highlight of wild animal viewing.

I parked my car as collateral, and the reception was inside the house. It seemed to be a popular tour, as there was another boat besides ours. As mentioned in other comments, everything is in English, so it might be more enjoyable if you can speak a little, but even if you don't understand at all, you'll manage. (The captain shares some history with us.) Suddenly, we sped off into the ocean. Since it was my first time, I was desperately hanging on to avoid being thrown off. If you get seasick, medication is a must. The view of the Big Island from the ocean is magnificent. It was the best. It was my first experience with snorkeling. They provided life jackets, which made me feel safe. We encountered sea turtles and rays. I also saw many beautiful fish. We encountered dolphins three times. They played with us, doing twist jumps right in front of us! It was truly fun. The captain gave us snacks on the boat, and they were delicious! Hawaiian chips with green chili flavor. After that, I went around supermarkets looking for them, but unfortunately, they weren't available.
Thanks to this, I had a very enjoyable time. I would love to visit again.

Because it is a calm period for volcanic activity, I believe you can only see the red, molten magma on a helicopter tour. I was also impressed by the vast black plateau. The pilot made sure that everyone in the seats could see the magma and waterfalls by circling around. The man in the back seat was so focused on taking pictures that he seemed to feel a bit unwell later on due to the circling, but he said he had a great time. Thank you very much.

Because it was a morning cruise, they made good on sighting whales. There were multiple sightings. The amount of time on the boat was good, because after the sightings, I could actually relax and just enjoy the rest of the boat ride. The refreshments were tremendous. The crew was very generous and informative. I know the crew couldn't get as close as I would have liked, because of regulations, but I sure would have liked to have closer pictures and more majestic surfacings. But, overall we were happy with the cruise.

I lined up a little earlier than the scheduled time and was the third group. As time passed, more and more people lined up. Since entry is based on the order of arrival, I think it's best to line up early if you want a better seat.
After checking in, you have to wait before entering the venue. Check-in is at 5 PM, and the doors open at 5:30 PM, so you will wait for about 30 minutes.
First, you receive a welcome drink and are shown to your seat. Once seated, you are free to enjoy, but the food is only for children. There is a place where you can enjoy temporary tattoos and small items, and while you're having fun there, the food for adults will become available.
Even before the main show starts, there are songs and dances on stage, and music is always playing, so you can have a pleasant time.
As the sun sets and it gets somewhat dark, the main show begins. There are classic fire shows and hula dances. Since my seat was a bit far, I think it's better to choose a higher seat if you're looking for a more intense experience.
Additionally, from 8 AM on the day of the event, you can watch the preparation of a whole roasted pig. This is also quite impressive, so I recommend seeing that as well.
時間よりちょっと早めに並んだら、3組目でした。時間を過ぎるとどんどん並んで…。並んだ順に案内なので、少しでもよい席がよかったら、早めに並ぶといいと思います。
受付のあと、会場に入るまで待たされます。17時に受付、17時30分開場なので、30分ほど待ちます。
まずウエルカムドリンクをもらい、席に案内されます。席に着いたらあとは自由ですが、食べ物は子ども用しかありません。洗うと落ちるタトゥーや小物売り場があるので、そこで楽しんでたら大人用の食べ物がオープンになります。
メインのショーが始まるまでも、舞台では歌やダンスがあったり、常に音楽が流れてるので、心地よい時間を過ごすことができます。
日が落ちて、ある程度暗くなってくると、いよいよメインのショーです。定番のファイヤーショーやフラダンスです。少し席が遠かったので、迫力を求めるならば高い席にした方がよいと思います。
また、当日朝8時から、豚の丸焼きの準備を見ることができます。これもなかなか見ごたえがあるので、合わせて見ることを推薦します。

I had a rare experience being able to see manta rays up close! They come quite close to you, which can be a little scary. I usually don't get seasick, but I started to feel queasy after floating in the water and looking down at the manta rays for a long time, so I went back up to the boat partway through. I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication. It gets chilly at night, so I also recommend preparing for the cold.
マンタを間近で見ることができて、貴重な体験ができました!マンタの方からかなり近づいて来るので、ちょっと怖いくらいです。
普段あまり酔ったりはしませんが、マンタを見るためにずっと下を向いて海に浮いて波に揺られていたことで、酔ってきたので途中でしたが船上に上がりました(・・;)
酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいと思います。夜は冷えるので、防寒対策もおススメします

The Hilton Hotel has a dedicated space for luaus. To get straight to the point, it’s not much different from luaus I've seen elsewhere, but the performances are unique to a family-friendly hotel. Right in front of the stage, there are mats set up for small children, along with plenty of cushions, allowing the kids to mimic the dancers and enjoy dancing along. It was very heartwarming. It was worth reserving the premium seats, as we were guided to the table right at the front. We were also able to get our food first. I was a bit hesitant before making the reservation, but I'm glad I went.

I was very worried about seasickness, but since there was a 99% chance of seeing manta rays, I decided to join this tour. Unfortunately, it seems the waves were high, and we weren't able to see them.
While waiting for the manta rays, I got really seasick, whether on the boat or being rocked in the water... Maybe because of the season, it was very cold while waiting in the water, and I was shivering a lot, so I thought I should have considered the type of swimsuit I wore. (I rented and wore a wetsuit!) Since it was cold, they mentioned bringing items like a bath towel, but it would have been nice to have some information specifically for women in that regard.
Since I couldn't see the manta rays this time, they said I could come back for free next time, so I'm looking forward to it! But I don't know how many years it will be until then (^^;;
The Japanese female staff member was very cheerful and kind, and she was amazing!!! I'm really grateful!☆
船酔いがとても心配でしたが、99%以上の確率ということでしたので、参加したこのツアー。しかし、波が高かったのか、残念ながら見ることができませんでした。
マンタを待っている間は、ボートの上でも水中で波に揺られていても、すごく酔ってしまいました…。時期が時期だったからか、水の中で待っている間は、とても寒くてガクガク震えるくらいでしたので、水着の種類を考えればよかったかなーと思いました。(スウェットスーツはレンタルして着ていました!)寒いので、持ち物にはバスタオルなどは書いてありましたが、女性のためにもそこの部分の記載もあればありがたかったです。
見られなかった分、次回行った時に無料でご案内していただけるそうですので、期待しています!が、何年後になるか分かりません(^^;;

While moving, we spotted a whale and got super excited‼️ I think it was all about timing, but I’m glad we got to see it. The sunset was also amazing‼️ After arriving at the spot and getting ready, we entered the water~. We saw a manta ray❣️ It was so impressive. I’m glad we got to see it several times.
In January, for night manta diving, you need to prepare for the cold. I think renting a wetsuit is necessary. However, since it's a spring suit, which is short-sleeved and short-legged, those who are sensitive to the cold should definitely wear long sleeves and long pants (rash guard).
On the way back, it was clear and there was no moon, so the starry sky was beautiful. However, since you return to the port while still wet, you need to prepare for the cold. I think having two bath towels per person would be good.
Since it's nature, sometimes you see things and sometimes you don't, but you have to enjoy it in your own way! The staff were kind and friendly.

1月は、ナイトマンタは寒さ対策は必要です。ウェットスーツは、レンタルは必要かと思います。ただスプリングといって、半袖半ズボンなので、寒がりの方は、長袖長ズボン(ラッシュ)必須と思います。
帰りは、晴れて月が無かったので星空が綺麗でした。
ただ、濡れたまま港まで帰るので、防寒対策は必要です。バスタオルは、一人2枚あったらいいかと思います。
自然相手なので、出たり出なかったりかと思うけど、自分なりに楽しまないと
ね!。スタッフは、親切で優しい方でしたよ。。
Aloha!! Mikibuu,
Thank you for participating in the manta tour. We are all very happy that you were able to experience something that is hard to come by in Japan. When you visit Oahu again, we also have tours for dolphin middle school and university, so we look forward to seeing you again.

I felt colder than I expected. There were two manta rays swimming around. I was happy to see them, but if I could wish for more, I would have liked them to come closer. I wanted to see more of them.
I was glad to receive snacks and water after getting back on the boat, but it was cold, so it would have been even better if we could have had hot drinks.
思ってたより体が冷えた。
マンタが2枚いてウロウロしていた。
会うことが出来て嬉しかったが、欲を言えば
もっと近くに来て欲しかった。
もっと枚数を見たかった。
船に上がってからお菓子とお水をもらえて嬉しかったが、寒かったのでホットドリンクを頂けたらもっと最高ですね〜

Thank you for submitting a review on behalf of Kona Ocean Experience. We're happy to hear that our dive guide provided great information to you regarding the manta rays (as well as a beach recommendation) and that you had an amazing time watching the mantas "in action"! Just so that you (and others) know, our KOEX Sunset/Manta Snorkeling tour is advertised as a 1.5 hour trip (not "2+ hrs") as verified on our website: www.konaoceanx.com. Although a bit shorter than you'd expected, we're glad you felt it was a great excursion and a wild animal viewing "highlight"!
