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>

I was moved by the powerful whales! 迫力あるクジラに感動!

Reviewed by: くじら〜

The weather was great, and I was excited for my first-ever whale watching experience! However, it was in English, so I didn't understand everything, which was a bit disappointing. The whales weren't very active, but I was satisfied just to see them jump a few times! My husband got a little seasick, but we definitely want to come back!

天気にも恵まれ、生まれて初めてのホエールワッチングに興奮しました!
ただ英語のガイドだったので、意味がよく分からず少しだけ残念でした。
クジラはそんなにアクティブではありませんでしたが、数回ジャンプを見ることができ、それだけで満足です!
主人は少し船酔いしてしまいましたが、また来たいと思います!

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> *48時間前までキャンセル無料

I was able to see manta rays up close! マンタを間近で見ることができました!

Reviewed by: あい★

I participated in the tour in September 2017. The tour guide was very friendly and funny. A manta ray passed right in front of me, and it was so moving! It was really cute. On the way home, there was an engine trouble that made me a bit anxious, but the tour guide and the other staff worked hard, and I was able to get home safely. They were such wonderful people that I felt like I wanted to live on the Big Island!

2017年9月に参加させていただきました。
ツアーのお姉さんがとても気さくで面白かったです。
マンタが目の前を通り過ぎてくれて、感動しました!とても可愛かったです。
帰宅途中エンジントラブルが発生して少し不安になりましたが、ツアーガイドのお姉さん、お兄さんが頑張ってくれて無事に帰宅できました。
私もハワイ島に住みたくなるぐらい素敵な方々でした!

If you're unlucky, it can turn into the worst tour. 運が悪いと最悪のツアーに

Reviewed by: hedgehog

I held onto the blue glowing board, but there were too many people clinging to one board, making it cramped. The manta ray that appeared was just one, far away. The boat and the water were both very choppy, causing many people to feel seasick. On the way back, it was extremely cold, and some were vomiting, creating a hellish scene. It felt like a waste of over 30,000 yen for two people, making it the worst tour I've participated in so far (though I understand it's nature, so it's unavoidable).

If you don't see anything, you can participate for free the next day, but I had booked a different tour for the following day and couldn't join (I suspect most people will be in the same situation). I'm also doubtful if the right to participate for free again is valid for a few years later; if not, this is truly a terrible tour. For those who participate, please make sure to take motion sickness medication and be prepared for the possibility that you might not see anything.

青く光るボードにつかまって見るのですが、一つのボードにつかまる人数が多すぎて窮屈でした。そして現れたマンタは遠くの方に1匹だけ。ボート上も海の中も揺れが激しく、酔う人多数。帰りはとても寒く、吐く人もいて、地獄絵図でした。2人で3万円以上払ってこれかよという感じで、これまで参加したツアーで最悪のものとなりました(自然相手なので仕方ありませんが)。

見れなかった場合、翌日も無料で参加できるということですが、翌日は別のツアーを申し込んでおり参加できませんでした(ほとんどの方がそうなるのでは)。無料で再度参加の権利は数年後でも有効なのか疑問ですが、そうでないとしたら本当にひどいツアーです。参加する方は、必ず酔い止めを飲んで、見れない可能性があると覚悟して参加してください。

It was just... disappointing. ただ‥‥‥残念でした

Reviewed by: Kiyu

I was disappointed that there wasn't a Japanese pilot. Also, the two people sitting in front of me were wearing beige and red tops with shorts, which caused those colors to reflect on the glass. It was the worst because I couldn't take a photo with my smartphone without those colors showing up. For those participating, it's best to wear longer pants, at least knee-length, in black, and also a black top.

日本語パイロットでなかったのが残念でした。
あと、前に座った2人が、ベージュ、赤色のトップスにショートパンツの洋服を着ていたせいで、ガラスにその色が反射して、スマホで写真撮ろうとしても映り込んで、最悪でした。
参加される方は長めの、せめて膝下丈のパンツで色は黒色、そしてトップスも黒色を必ず着ていくほうがベストですよ。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, we are very sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with the experience.

Regarding the request for a Japanese-speaking pilot, as mentioned on the tour page, we cannot guarantee this, but we understand that you were hoping for explanations in Japanese since you took the time to join us. We also regret that the reflections of other customers' clothing on the window made it difficult to see the scenery. We will share your feedback with the operating company and consider improvements together.

If you have the opportunity to visit the Big Island again, we sincerely hope that your next tour will be one that meets your expectations.

Thank you for your valuable feedback during your busy schedule. We look forward to serving you again.

Our original trip was postponed due to snow on the summit of Mauna Kea but we rescheduled and had an unforgettable experience. Our guide Hank was great. As well as his astronomy expertise, he provided lots of information on Hawaiian culture. The views on the way up to the summit were spectacular. Great photographic opportunities of the sunset, views and night sky.

This was a last minute booking so we were glad to get it. We did the 7:45-9:45 PM night tour. The set up is pretty standard. The crew was experienced and knew what to do when didn’t find rays at the first spot. We were towed gently to where we saw two! We had a couple of screamers which was a bit annoying but that apart, terrific trip

Reviewed by: もっさん

I signed up for the tour because I wanted to see the lava. Although I couldn't see the ocean entry, it was amazing to view the crater and the waterfall without a door, so it wasn't through glass. I was lucky enough to see a rainbow as well. I wore a thick hoodie, but I think it would have been better to wear a windbreaker or something a bit warmer since it was quite windy.

溶岩が見たくてツアーに申し込みました。オーシャンエントリーは見られなかったのですが、ドアなしなのでガラス越しではない状態で、火口や滝、運良く虹も見られて感動しました。厚手のパーカーを着て乗りましたが、風が強いのでウインドブレーカーなどもう少し厚着した方が良かったと思いました。

プライベートチャーター ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング+イルカウォッチングツアー!GoProレンタルあり<午前/日本語ガイド>

A highly satisfying tour. 大満足のツアー

Reviewed by: 家族連れ

This was my second time on a dolphin swimming tour in Hawaii, but the experience on the Big Island far surpassed my previous one. Following the guide's instructions, a pod of about 50 dolphins came close to us repeatedly. The location of the dolphins changes daily, and on the day we participated, the guide had confirmed in advance that they were near the harbor. Therefore, we didn't have to search for them by boat.

We encountered the dolphins shortly after departing from the harbor, allowing us to swim with them for a long time, even after other boats had left. I could clearly hear the dolphins' calls underwater.

Both the guide and the boat captain were very proficient in Japanese, so there was no language barrier. They provided wetsuits, fins, and masks, making it enjoyable even for those who are not confident swimmers. Our third grader had a great time as well.

I highly recommend this experience if you visit the Big Island.

ハワイでのイルカと泳ぐツアーは2回目でしたが、ここハワイ島での体験は前回の経験をはるかに凌駕する素晴らしいものでした。
ガイドさんの教えの通りにしていると、約50頭の群れが何度も何度も近くへ寄って来てくれました。毎日イルカのいる場所は変わるそうで、私たちが参加した日は、ハーバーから近いところにイルカがいることをガイドさんが事前に確認してくれていました。そのため、ボートでイルカを捜しまわることもありませんでした。
ハーバーを出港してあっという間にイルカに遭遇出来たため、そこから時間一杯まで、他のボートがいなくなってもたっぷりイルカと泳がせていただけました。イルカの鳴き声も水中でしっかり聞こえました。
ガイドさん、ボートのキャプテン共に日本語が大変お上手なため、言葉の心配はありませんし、ウェットスーツとフィン、マスクなど一式貸してもらえるので、泳ぎが苦手な方でも十分楽しめると思います。わが家の小学3年生も十分enjoyしていました。
ハワイ島を訪れた際には、ぜひ、経験されることをおすすめします。

Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour Adventure on a Hawaiian Sailing Canoe

Manta Ray Night Snorkel

Reviewed by: D & L Williams

For those who love the water and its fascinating creatures, we highly recommend this activity aboard the Hawaiian Sailing Canoe. The canoe is a modern replica seating a limited number of passengers, so the skipper Dave knew our names immediately. But much like going to a "modern" zoo, you may see what you're looking for the first time out but you may not. Our first night snorkel was at 8:30pm, and while the groups before and after us had a grand "show" we were skunked. But Dave said we could keep coming back (for free!) until we sighted the mantas. The next night at 9:30pm we were in luck, and were treated to a 45 minute water ballet by two mantas that glided and turned just inches beneath our illuminated surfboard. For optimum warmth bring your own full-length wetsuit instead of using their wetsuit tops.

There are issues with safety considerations. 安全配慮に問題あり

Reviewed by: まおさん

It's unbelievable that, like other tour companies, they do not require life jackets at night on the sea. The return trip is completely in darkness. As someone with a boating license, I must say that if something were to happen, the staff alone would not be able to rescue all participants. I raise this alarm before any precious lives are lost. The boat's rocking is also severe, so pregnant women should refrain from participating. Since it's cold in December, warm drinks would have been better on board. I did see manta rays, and aside from that, I think it was good.

他の催行会社にも言えることですが、信じられない事に夜間の海でライフジャケットを着用させません。復路は全くの暗闇です。船舶免許保持者から言わせてもらうと、万一の事が有ればスタッフだけでは全ての参加者の人命救助できないでしょう。尊い犠牲が出る前に警鐘を鳴らさせていただきます。ボートの揺れも激しいので妊婦は参加見合わせすべきですね。12月の寒い時期ですので船上では暖かい飲み物の方が良かったとおもいます。マンタも見れましたし、それ以外は良いと思います。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide a satisfactory service.

Upon confirming with the operating company, I learned that wearing life jackets for the manta tour in Hawaii is optional. However, as you pointed out, considering the safety of our customers, we have received word that they will consider requiring all participants to wear life jackets in the future.

I also sincerely apologize for serving cold drinks in the chilly weather. The operating company reported that due to an electrical issue, they were unable to provide warm beverages on short notice. They have now resolved the issue and are preparing warm drinks, and they have shared that they will work to ensure that similar situations do not occur in the future.

Thank you very much for your valuable feedback during this busy time.

Grand Circle Island Tour - Volcano, Black Sand Beach, Waipio Valley & Waterfalls

Experience of a lifetime

Reviewed by: Leah

This tour was life changing for me! Such an awesome experience to really see the island and have someone guide you through it so you really understand what you're seeing and the history behind it.

Tour guide was Chris who was excellent. He has a real gift for this, and you can tell he is truly passionate and loves what he does. Makes the tour feel more real and less like show and tell or reading from a script. 10/10 highly recommended tour.

Tour provides you with all the comforts you need for the day so you're never hungry, cold, or unsure of where a clean bathroom is. Even had plugs for you to charge your phone although I had a portable charger with me that day which I recommend for any trip.

The whole family really enjoyed the boat ride, the hosts on the boat were excellent and we saw a lot of fish, turtles etc. they were wonderful at engaging with the kids and answering all our questions.

The customer service of the people we met at the hut left something to be desired. Aloof and not very interested in engaging. Which is fine, but they are the first people you meet when you get there—so—it made me kinda nervous, but the actual ride was fine!

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー ボイジャーズ・オブ・ザ・パシフィック(ロイヤルコナリゾート内)<月・火・水・金催行/ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

The main attraction is the fire dance. ファイヤーダンスがメイン

Reviewed by: chippihoney

When I arrived just before the reception time, there was already quite a long line. There are reserved seats, and since I ended up in the back, I recommend arriving earlier if you want to sit closer to the front. The buffet food was tastier than I expected. Guests are guided in order from the front. It was very impressive to see the sunset over the ocean from my seat before the show started. The show features modern hula, traditional hula, Polynesian dance, and fire dance. There is a scene in the middle of the show to celebrate birthdays and honeymoons, so it might be good to let them know in advance. I felt that the talk between the dances was a bit long, and there seemed to be less dance time. I can't compare it to other luau shows, though... All the dancers were very beautiful. The fire dance was the highlight and very powerful. Children up to 5 years old were free. Overall, I was quite satisfied.

受付時間ギリギリに行ったら、もうすでにかなりの列ができていました。リザーブ席などもあり、後ろの方の席になってしまったので、少しでも前のいい席で見たい方は、受付時間よりも前に並んだ方がいいです。ブッフェの食事は思ったよりは美味しかったです。前から順番に案内されます。ショーが始まる前に、席から海に沈む夕日が見れたのがとても印象的でした。ショーは現代フラや古典フラ、ポリネシアンダンスやファイヤーダンスが見れます。ショーの途中でバースデーやハネムーンの人たちをお祝いするシーンがあるので、伝えておくといいのかも?と思いました。ダンスとダンスの間のトークが長くて、ダンス時間が少ないような気がしました。他のルアウショーとくらべていないので比較はできませんが…
ダンサーさんはみなさんとてもきれいな方たちでした。ファイヤーダンスが一番の見もので大迫力でした。
5歳までの子供は無料でした。全体的には、概ね満足です。

A man who loves dolphins and is loved by dolphins! Yes, he is—! イルカを愛し、イルカに愛された男!そう、彼こそはー!

Reviewed by: mas myk

Daisuke, our guide, was wonderful with his attentiveness.

The weather was drizzly and chilly, not typical for Hawaii, but we were able to see plenty of dolphins! We even got to see them jump, which was very satisfying.

I brought my iPhone in a waterproof case, but it didn't respond to swipes underwater. I was advised to start recording video on the boat, and when I tried that, it worked well.

While I was playing with the dolphins, I got a bit seasick (it's better to take motion sickness medication), but everyone was kind and helped me calm down.

According to Daisuke, "I am confident that we can get you closer to the dolphins than anyone else. If we couldn't see them, I believe other companies' boats wouldn't be able to either." His love for dolphins and constant attentiveness seem to help him know the best spots and share information with others.

If there’s a next time, I would definitely love to join again.

ガイド(インストラクター?)のダイスケさんの気配りが素晴らしかったです。

天候は小雨で肌寒くハワイらしくない日でしたが、イルカちゃん(ダイスケさん風)は沢山見れました!ジャンプ姿も見れて、大満足でした。

iPhoneを防水カバーに入れて持って行きましたが、海の中ではスワイプが反応しません。"船の上で動画を始めた状態にすると良いですよ"と言われたので実践したところ、上手くいきました^ ^

イルカたちと戯れている間、私は途中で波酔いしてしまいました(酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が良いです)が、皆さんが優しく対応して下さり気分を落ち着かせる事が出来ました。

ダイスケさん曰く、"どこよりも、イルカちゃんに会わせてあげる自信があります。僕たちがイルカちゃん達に会えなかったら、他の会社さんの船も絶対会えてないと思います。"との事。イルカを愛し、いつも気遣いをしているからこそ、遭遇ポイントも分かるし、他社の方々とも情報共有出来ているようです。

次回があれば、是非またご厄介になりたいと思います。

The location is easily accessible as it is on the main street of Kona. The parking lot is on the mountain side of the hotel. There are people lined up around the hotel’s rotary, so the entrance is easy to find. The show took place with the ocean in the background and a pleasant breeze, and it was really great! The sunset was beautiful too! There was a lot of laughter, and it was a very enjoyable time (even though I don't understand much English). The food was at the expected level, but I was happy to eat a lot of my favorite kalua pig. I have also been to the luau at the King Kamehameha Hotel (though it was quite a while ago, so my memory isn't clear), but I think the stage position and the host at Royal Kona were better.

場所がコナのメインストリートにあるのでアクセスしやすいです。
駐車場は、ホテルの山側にありました。
ホテルのロータリーのあたりに人が並んでいるので入り口はわかりやすいです。
ショーは海をバックにして、心地よい風の中行われ、とてもよかったです!
夕日もキレイでした!
かなり笑いもとても楽しい時間になりました(英語はあまりわかりませんが)。
食事は、予想通りのレベルでしたが、自分の好きなカルアピッグをたくさん食べれたのでよかったです。

A precious experience swimming with wild dolphins! 自然のイルカと泳げる貴重な体験!

Reviewed by: MASA&GRIM

I participated with my wife. The reason we chose this activity, as mentioned in the reviews, is that the guides (Daisuke and Ryo) genuinely care for and love the dolphins.

After actually participating, I felt even more that they truly love dolphins from the bottom of their hearts. We encountered dolphins multiple times and were able to swim with them. It was moving to see them swimming comfortably in the natural sea, including family dolphins and baby dolphins. We could also hear their voices.

On our way back to the port, we encountered a manta ray, and although it wasn't included in the tour, we were given the opportunity to swim with it. Thank you so much!!

When we returned to the port, I strongly felt the desire to protect the natural dolphins. I definitely want to participate again next year!

妻と参加させて頂きました。今回このアクティビティを選んだ理由はリビューにも記載されている通り、ガイドの方(ダイスケさんリョウさん)が心からイルカのことを大切に思い愛されているからでした。

実際参加してみたところ、リビューの内容以上に心身からイルカのことが好きなんだな、と感じました。
何回もイルカとも遭遇し一緒に泳ぐことができました。家族のイルカ、
子供のイルカ等、自然の海を心地よく泳いでいる姿に感動です。
イルカの声も聞くことができました。
港に戻る際はマンタに遭遇し、ツアーの内容には含まれていませんでしたが一緒に泳ぐ機会を与えて頂きました。
本当にありがとうございました!!

港に戻った際は自然のイルカを大切に守っていきたいと強く感じました。

We appreciate you taking your time to review your manta snorkel and are sorry to hear you did not enjoy the tour. It is true, some nights are better than others; ocean conditions, weather and the amount of rays seen on any given night is out of our control.

Our 10am whale watching cruise was cancelled but we were accommodated on an other cruise for 10:30am. This one included snorkeling. So it was a big win for us. We did get to see a few whales and dolphins. The crew was amazing. They were friendly and informative. They took the time to chat with us. They gave us some background on the whales and clear instructions before getting in the water for snorkeling. They were very attentive and ready to help everyone during the snorkeling. This was an awesome tour. I would definitely book this tour again and recommend it.

The live music and Mai Tai were fantastic. Cute dolphins swam alongside the boat, and the big sun dove into the sea!

ライブの歌とマイタイでノリノリでした。可愛いイルカ達がボートに併走して、デッカイ太陽が海にダイブして行きました。!

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー ボイジャーズ・オブ・ザ・パシフィック(ロイヤルコナリゾート内)<月・火・水・金催行/ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

It's more of a Polynesian show than a hula. フラと言うよりポリネシアンショー

Reviewed by: ヨッシー

The check-in process was slow, and after waiting for over 30 minutes, I was able to enter after 5:30 PM. As a Polynesian show, it was very enjoyable and wonderful, but the Hawaiian atmosphere felt lacking. The food was delicious, and with the all-you-can-drink option, it felt like a good deal. Although it's unrelated to the show, there was a huge traffic jam from Waikoloa to Kona on Friday, taking an hour and a half.

受付の処理が遅くて、30分以上並んで、入場出来たのが5時半過ぎ。
ポリネシアンショーとしてみれば、とても楽しく素晴らしいが、ハワイの雰囲気は薄い。
食事は美味しいし、飲み放題なのでお得感があります。
ショーとは関係ないが、金曜日はワイコロアからコナまで大渋滞で、1時間半かかりました。

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

If you go to the Big Island of Hawaii, you definitely want to experience this. ハワイ島行くなら是非体験して欲しい

Reviewed by: ぐうたん

Every time I come to the Big Island, I participate in the Fair Wind snorkeling tour. I usually go in the morning, but this time I joined in the afternoon for the first time. Since lunch is not included, I had a meal before heading out.

While the volcano and star tours are great, I really want everyone to experience the beauty of the ocean around the Big Island. At Captain Cook's Point, there are more fish than anywhere else, even more than at Hanauma Bay on Oahu. This time, we were the only Japanese participants. My elderly father doesn't dive, but he always enjoys the cruise and feels satisfied.

When we arrived at the port, it was just in time for the sunset, and we enjoyed watching it for a bit after getting off the boat.

It's only about a 15-minute drive from Kona, where we're staying, to the port, so it's very convenient.

The weather was nice, and it felt great!

ハワイ島に来ると毎回このフェアウインドのシュノーケルに参加します。
いつもは午前中に参加しますが、今回は初めて午後に参加しました。
ランチはついていないので昼食食べてから行きました。

火山や星のツアーも良いけど、是非ハワイ島の海のキレイさを体感して
欲しいなぁと思います。

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

It's fun. 楽しいです。

Reviewed by: kuri

I participated in a short course. The early morning sea is calm and feels wonderful. We paddle along the shore without going too far out, enjoying the scenery. After turning back, we stop at the snorkeling point and can enjoy snorkeling for a while.

Of course, the underwater world is a different realm. The guide was fluent in Japanese and very kind. The canoe operation is easy. If couples participate, it might deepen their bond? Well, in the end, it turns out that only the man at the back ends up paddling...^^

Since the tour ends at the spot, it's a good idea to borrow a restroom and shower at the nearby Sheraton. Although the meeting place might seem uncertain on the map, it's easy to find and parking is simple. It's reasonably priced and very satisfying. I highly recommend it.

短時間コースに参加しました。早朝の海は穏やかでとても気持ち良いです。そんなに沖には出ないで陸沿いを景色を楽しみながら漕いで行きます。折り返してスノーケルポイントでカヌーを止めてしばらくスノーケルを楽しめます。
無論海の中は別世界です。
ガイドさんは日本語堪能でとても親切にして頂きました。
カヌーの操作も簡単です。夫婦、カップルで参加すれば絆が深まるかも?まぁ結局は後ろで男性だけが漕ぐ羽目になりますが・・・^^
その場で解散なので目の前のシェラトンでトイレとプールでシャワーを借りると良いでしょう。
集合場所も地図だと不安ですがわかりやすく駐車も簡単で
す。お手頃価格で満足感高いです。オススメです。

ハワイ島 バードウォッチングツアー  ハカラウ・フォレスト国立野生動物保護区<1日/朝・昼食付/英語ガイド>

I enjoyed the native birds of Hawaii (participated in Rainforest & Dry Forest). ハワイ固有の鳥を楽しめました(レインフォレスト&ドライフォレスト参加)

Reviewed by: たあちゃん

We participated as a couple because we wanted to see the Hawaiian honeycreepers in the forest. We left the hotel at 7 AM, and our guide was Gary. The other participants were a group of three elderly American women and one older American man, all enthusiastic birdwatchers.

The tour progressed enjoyably with initial introductions and Gary's knowledgeable and humorous talk. The materials distributed to participants explained well how the Hawaiian honeycreepers have evolved according to their environment.

In the clear, sunny air, we quickly spotted the Nene (Hawaiian goose) at the golf course just outside the hotel, and the Pueo (short-eared owl) running through the grass. Gary's sharp eyes also found the Pacific golden plover and the black-crowned night heron in the distance among the grass.

Around 9:30 AM, we finally had breakfast at the entrance of the Palila Reserve on Mauna Kea, and the bread itself was delicious, exceeding our expectations. We were able to see the yellow Palila and Amakihi well in the dry forest here.

In the afternoon, we moved along Saddle Road to the cloud forest of Mauna Loa. Climbing up the lava path in the forest, the sandwich lunch was also tasty. In this forest, we saw many red Apapane and the bright red Iiwi, which we had been most eager to see. The Elepaio also showed its cute appearance. After the Iiwi appeared, the light rain that had been falling intensified, so we put on our rain gear and descended. We also enjoyed beautiful introduced species like the red-billed leiothrix and the yellow-faced grassquit, returning to the hotel at 5 PM.

Gary, our guide, provided detailed explanations about the birds as well as Hawaii's history and environment, and we were able to see a significant number of the native birds we aimed to see. It was a very enjoyable day.

森でハワイミツスイを見たくて夫婦二人で参加しました。朝7時にホテルを出発、ガイドはゲイリー。他の参加者はアメリカ人老婦人3人グループと年配のアメリカ人男性1名で、皆熱心なバードウォッチャーでした。
初めの自己紹介とゲイリーの専門知識とユーモアを交えたトークで楽しくツアーは進んでいきました。参加者に配布された資料では、ハワイのミツスイ類が環境に応じて進化してきた様子がよく説明されてました。
晴れて澄んだ空気の中、ホテルを出てすぐのゴルフ場でネネ(ハワイガン)、草原を走ってプエオ(コミミズク)が順調に出ました。ゲイリーの鋭い目は、遠くの草の中のムナグロシャコやクロガオシャコも見つけます。
マウナケアのパリラ保護区の入り口で9時半頃にやっと朝食でしたが、パンそのものもおいしく、予想以上の内容でした。ここの乾燥林で黄色のパリラとアマキヒをしっかり見られました。
午後はサドルロードをマウナロアの雲霧林へ移動。森の中、溶岩の歩道を登っていき、森の中でのサンドイッチのランチもおいしかった。
この森では、赤いアパパネ多数と、最も見たかった真っ赤なイイウィも見られました。エレパイオも可愛い姿を見せました。イイウィが出た後、それまで小降りだった雨が激しくなってきたので、雨具を着込んで下山しました。その後もベニスズメやキマユカナリアなどきれいな移入種も楽しみ、午後5時にホテルに戻りました。
ガイドのゲイリーが、鳥はもちろん、ハワイの歴史や環境など詳しく説明してくれ、目的だった固有の鳥をかなり見ることができ、たいへん楽しい一日でした。
