Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

Manta ray with NO CRUISE

Reviewed by: Steve

Crew was very nice and captain had a great story, but we were ones that had little luck with manta's. We did see one or two, but it took a full hour in water, where some of my party began to get sick and missed it. The most disappointing part was absolutely no cruise. Do not expect a cruise. We coasted for 5 min and went out where I could snorkel on my own. I really thought we would sail for a bit and get snacks instead of one piece of pineapple. Understand you are hanging onto a ladder the whole time. I get it for safety reasons, but not what I expected. There is no real snorkeling where your swimming around. No boat lights other then ladder. I felt we were using other boats lights, where we were the last ones to ever see anything, unless we got lucky. Our ladder had lights. I thought this was also a 3 to 4 hour tour. It took 5 or 10 min. To get where we were going, then hour in water, then go home. No drinks on this, and hit and miss with hot chocolate. I highly recommended actually sailing first and open the sails like they said would happen and choosing this boat in the first place. My party was disappointed. My kids were troopers and stayed out with me and saw the one manta, before turning back where the rest of the people holding onto the ladder didn't see it. At least give us a cruise first with this cool boat.

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 super excited with my dad! I was very satisfied! 父と一緒に大興奮！大満足！

Reviewed by: maO

I participated with my father, who is over 60 years old. We were extremely excited and satisfied to see manta rays gracefully spinning right in front of us! The boat sped quickly to the manta observation point, and while we waited for the manta rays, the gentle rocking of the waves made some people feel a bit queasy, but it was a safe activity. It was a tour with a Japanese guide, and nearly half of the participants were Japanese.

It's definitely not cheap, but I can recommend this tour to family and friends of all ages!

60歳すぎの父と二人で参加しました。マンタが目の前でヒラヒラ回転するマンタに大興奮で大満足です！マンタの観察ポイントまで船で猛スピードで飛ばして行くのと、波に揺られながらマンタを待つ間の絶妙な揺れで何人かの人は気分が悪くなってしまっていましたが、安全なアクティビティです。日本語ガイド付きのツアーでしたが、参加者の半分弱が日本人でした。
決して安くはありませんが、家族にも友人にも幅広い年代の方にオススメできるツアーです！

Reviewed by: AKKIE.O

I actually wanted to go horseback riding in Waipi'o Valley, but I couldn't make a reservation, so I gave up. I was able to make a reservation for horseback riding at the ranch, so I participated here instead. They didn't speak any Japanese at all, but they explained things in simple English with smiles, so I hardly had any trouble. They provide Western boots, socks, parkas, jackets, and bags, so you can go hands-free without any issues. I left my valuables with them, but I took a drink, camera, and phone in my bag. Sneakers would be fine, but I think it's better to borrow boots. I had my own socks, so I wore those. Did we ride for about 1.5 hours? We galloped and trotted around the vast ranch grounds. Since my husband was almost a beginner, I thought we would just walk, but he looked at the situation and asked if we wanted to try running, and we did a few times. The horses do gauge people to some extent, but they are calm and listen well, so I wasn't particularly worried. They smiled and said, "Come back again next year!" Thank you very much! I want to come again!

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＞

Only two Japanese people among the foreigners. 外人の中にたったの二人の日本人

Reviewed by: ジュン

Looking at the participants, my husband and I were the only Japanese. The rest were all foreigners, including Americans, Germans, Poles, and Portuguese. Additionally, the guide was an American who couldn't speak Japanese. To top it off, we were asked to introduce ourselves in English in front of everyone at the beginning of the tour. However, since we came all the way to a foreign country, a tour like this, rather than one with only Japanese participants, was quite nice! I was able to catch a glimpse of how Americans think and their everyday habits. The trekking and birdwatching were truly immersive experiences, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, making me feel how small humans are in the grand scheme of nature and the depth of the natural world. For those considering joining in the future, be sure to bring long sleeves and long pants, as well as rain gear and a hat to prepare for the temperature and rain. Also, I recommend wearing lightweight hiking boots instead of sneakers, and if possible, high-cut ones would be ideal. Additionally, the breakfast, lunch, and snacks prepared by the guide were delicious and reminiscent of an American picnic, quite different from what we are used to in Japan.

参加者の顔ぶれを見ると、日本人は私たち夫婦だけ。あとはアメリカ人、ドイツ人、ポーランド人、ポルトガル人など外人ばかり。また、ガイドさんは日本語ができないアメリカ人。挙げ句の果てに、ツアーの最初にみんなの前で英語で自己紹介をさせられた。でも、せっかく外国に来たのだから日本人ばかりのツアーでなくこんなツアーもいい！アメリカ人の思考がどうなっているのか、日常的な対応（習慣）などを垣間見ることができた。肝心のトレッキングとバードウォッチングは、都会の喧騒から離れ、まさに自然の真っ只中に放り込まれ、自然の中では「なんて人間はちっぽけなんだろう」、とか「自然の奥深さ」を感じた。なお、これから参加を検討している方は、気温や雨に対応するため、長袖や長ズボンだけでなく、上下のレインウェアや帽子が必要です。また、スニーカーではなく、軽登山靴、さらにできればハイカットのものがあればいいと思います。そのほか、ガイドさんが用意してくれた朝ごはん、昼ごはん、おやつは日本の感覚とは違ってアメリカのピクニックのようなもので美味しかった。

Incredible power! 大迫力！

Reviewed by: ひろちゃん

I was extremely excited to see the manta rays coming up from the seabed to the surface. I had been told not to touch the manta rays, but they came so close that I found myself twisting my body to avoid touching them. The boat was rocking quite a bit, so I was glad I took motion sickness medication. The sunset on the way to the spot was incredibly beautiful. Also, the night sky was stunning on the return trip. I think it could be called a Manta & Sunset & Night View Tour!

マンタが海底から水面に上ってきて補色をする姿に大興奮でした。マンタに触れてはいけないと説明されていたけれどあまりにも至近距離まで近づいてきてくれていたので体をくねらせてマンタに触れない体勢でいたほどです。かなり船が揺れるので酔い止めを飲んでいて良かったと思いました。ポイントまで行く間にサンセットがもの凄く綺麗でした。また帰りの船中では夜空が美しかったです。マンタ＆サンセット＆夜景ツアーという名でもよいのでは笑

ハワイ島 ジップライン体験8本　ワールド・ボタニカル・ガーデンの中を滑走 ＜英語インストラクター＞

First zip line 初ジップライン

Reviewed by: ディー

The staff were all cheerful and kind. It felt great to glide over the forest under the blue sky. However, the time slot I reserved was likely at maximum capacity, and we had to wait quite a bit each time we went to the new zip line. They said it would take about one to one and a half hours, but it ended up taking nearly two hours.

But since we could enjoy the scenery, I think it was still good? There was also an elderly American grandmother who was trying it for the first time, making it a zip line experience that the whole family could enjoy.

スタッフは皆さん明るく親切でした。青い空の下、森の上を滑走する感じが気持ちよかったです。ただ、予約した回が、おそらく、マックスの参加人数で、新しいジップラインに行くたびにかなり待たされました。1時間から1時間半、と言われていましたが、2時間近くかかりました。
でも、風景も楽しめたから、良かったかな？かなり年配のアメリカ人のおばあちゃまも初挑戦されていて、家族で楽しめるジップラインでした。

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＞ *48時間前までキャンセル無料

It met my expectations. 期待通りでした。

Reviewed by: Yuky

The purpose of this trip to the Big Island was to see the night manta rays and Kilauea Volcano. First, we participated in the night manta experience. It included transportation, but I received a call the day before saying, "It has been moved up earlier than scheduled." When I arrived at the designated pickup location at the hotel, a Caucasian man informed me that it had been changed to "three hours later." I thought it was an inauspicious start, but we had a fun departure with the captain, who kept cracking jokes, and a Japanese-American girl (tall and slim like Sumire) who translated into English, though her Japanese was a bit shaky. Since I had studied abroad at a university in the U.S., I found the captain's English easier to understand. As for the manta rays, they gathered in droves to feed on the plankton attracted by the powerful LED lights. It was impressive to see the mantas circling vertically and feeding on the plankton, with about three of them at a time. There were two changes to the reservation, but I believe that if the outcome is good, everything is good. The recommendation for Manta University Night Division came from a diving instructor living in Honolulu, and it was the right choice.

今回のハワイ島行きは、ナイトマンタとキラウエア火山の鑑賞が目的でした。まず、ナイトマンタに参加しました。送迎付きでしたが、前日に電話がかかってきて「予定より早くなった」とのことでした。指定された時間にホテルのピックアップ場に行ったところ、白人男性が「３時間後」になったと再度変更。幸先悪いなと思っていましたが、冗談を次々と飛ばす船長さんと、英語を通訳する、少々日本語が怪しい日系の女の子（すみれさんのように長身でスリム）で楽しく出発しました。僕は米国の大学に留学していたので、船長さんの英語の方が分かりやすかったのですが(?)。肝心のマンタですが、強力なLEDに集まるプランクトンを捕食する為にマンタが次々と集まって来ました。垂直方向にぐるぐる回りプランクトンを捕食するマンタは、一度に3枚位で圧巻でした。予約の変更は2回ありましたが、結果良ければ全て良しと思っています。マンタ大学夜学部はホノルルに住んでいるダイビングのインストラクターのお勧めでしたが、正解でした。

This helicopter tour was certainly one of the highlights of our trip. Checking in was a breeze. The pilot (Karl I think) was great, really friendly and knowledgable and told us fascinating stories about the land. His mixed tape for the flight was a great accompaniment to the flight. Nothing can quite prepare you for how amazing it is to fly over a volcanoe crater spewing lava, I was truly awe struck and felt like a kid again! It really is the top experience I would recommend on the big island.

A show worth watching. 見応えのあるショー

Reviewed by: ころなり

I was able to see the dances of each island in the Pacific, learning about their similarities and differences. There were also efforts made to ensure participants enjoyed themselves, such as celebrating birthdays and cheering together.
The meals offered a considerable variety, and even taking small portions resulted in quite a large amount. As mentioned in previous experiences, the order in which you go to get food is determined by your seating, so it’s not an all-you-can-eat situation from the start time. It might have been tough waiting and getting hungry (laughs).
If you don’t have the opportunity to see traditional shows (or have never eaten traditional cuisine) during your stay, I think this is a great option.

太平洋の島々のそれぞれの踊りを見せてくれて、似たところ違うところを知ることが出来ました。参加者の誕生日を祝ったり、一緒に掛け声をかけたりなど参加者が楽しむための工夫もされています。
食事は結構な種類があり、少しずつ取ってもかなり大量になります。前の体験談にもあるように席によって食事をとりにいく順番が決まっていますので、スタート時刻から食べ放題と言う訳ではありません。待っている間におなかへってツラかったかな（笑）。
滞在中に伝統的なショーを見る機会がない（または伝統料理を食べたことがない）なら、いいとおもいます。

A night manta tour while watching the sunset. 夕日を見ながら、夜のマンタツアー

Reviewed by: シニアゴルファー

Setting sail on a cruiser while watching the sunset is a bit romantic. I was worried about the night sea, but with a wetsuit and a float to rest my feet, there was nothing to worry about. I was wondering if we would actually see a manta ray, but one appeared right away, and by the end, there were five. It was an experience like no other, with a large mouth open in front of me, showing its belly and doing flips.

夕日を見ながらクルーザーでの出航ちょっとロマンチックです。夜の海は心配でしたが、ウェットスーツと足を乗せる浮きがあり心配する事もなかったです。肝心のマンタ果たしてくるのか？と思っていましたが、直ぐに1枚現れ、最後には5枚が。目の前を大きな口を開け、腹を見せて宙返り、2度と経験できないような体験でした。
