Even though it wasn't included, they let us go whale watching.
After the tour, I got along well with the other participants and we had lunch together...
It was fun!

We were able to see a couple humpback whales, no breach but that was ok. Saw back & the tails! Wild creatures don't always do what we wish, but we saw them! Also saw 4 hammerhead sharks, bottle nose dolphin & a spinner dolphin. Great experience.

We encountered about 20 dolphins just five minutes after departure! After that, we spotted two small whales (which the guide mentioned are quite rare to see). Even though it wasn't included in the tour, we were able to swim and see them up close.
When we moved to Dolphin Point, we were able to meet around 100 dolphins. The sight of dolphins swirling around us was a memory of a lifetime. There’s a rule against touching them, but they come close enough for us to reach out (however, our hands have a lot of germs, and touching them could cause burns, so we must absolutely not touch!). It was clear that the guide was enjoying himself, which made it fun for us too.
As a bonus, we also got to see a whale, which felt like an incredible deal.
Afterward, we received potato chips and juice to satisfy our little hunger.
I realized that many customers had also come on the same tour two years ago or were planning to come again tomorrow, which showed me how great this tour is. If I have the chance to come again, I would definitely want to participate.
出発して5分もしないところでイルカ20頭程と早速遭遇!
その後、小さなクジラ2匹に遭遇!(ガイドさんでもなかなか見れない種類らしい)
そこでもツアーに含まれないのに泳いで見ることができました。
その後ドルフィンポイントに移動したら、おそらく100頭ほどのイルカに出会うことができました。
左右下にぐるぐるとイルカがいる様子は、一生の思い出になりました。
触ってはいけないルールなのですが、触れるほどの距離までイルカから来てくれます(が、私たちの手にはばい菌が沢山で、イルカが火傷のようになるので絶対触ってはいけません!)
ガイドさん自身が楽しんでいるのが伝わり、こちらも楽しかったです。
その後も、おまけでホエールも見れて、本当にお得すぎました。
終わった後にポテトチップスとジュースをもらい、小腹を満たせます。
2年前に同じツアーに来たんだ!とか、
明日も来る!というお客さんが沢山いて、
このツアーの良さがわかりました。
私もまた来る機会があれば、絶対に参加したいです。

I was a bit anxious because there were few Japanese people on the tour, but the cute Ali-chan kindly explained everything! I was excited to see a manta ray, and we encountered one fairly quickly after starting snorkeling! It was impressive, yet I felt it was really cute! At first, I was so excited to see the manta ray that I forgot about the cold, but since it was late January, it gradually got colder towards the end, and I couldn't stop shivering after getting back on the boat. However, it was a valuable experience to see a manta ray for the first time!
ツアーは日本人が少なく不安になりましたが、かわいいアリちゃんが優しく説明してくれました!
マンタに会えるかドキドキでしたが、シュノーケリング開始から割とすぐにマンタに会えました!迫力があって、でもすごくかわいく感じました!
最初はマンタに会えて興奮して忘れていましたが、1月下旬ということもあり、終わりのほうはだんだん寒くなりボートに上がってから震えが止まりませんでした。でも初めてマンタに会えて貴重な体験になりました!
ALOHA! Mii-chan,
Thank you for participating in the Manta University this time. The manta rays captured with your underwater camera are incredibly beautiful and impressive!

For some reason, the bus route that is not very well known allows you to return to the airport from the terminal in Hilo for $2, along with your luggage. By the way, buses leave every 80 minutes. After checking in my suitcase and a brief emergency training, it was time to board. We were grouped into sets of seven based on our weight. I was excited by the sensation of lift-off, the low-altitude flight at the start, and the view of the airport from an angle that is rarely seen, while also listening to the explanations. I felt the earth's arteries from the lava flow that fell into the sea, producing tremendous steam, and experienced the exhilaration of seeing the crater from above, which I had viewed from the observation deck yesterday, as well as enjoying the beautiful waterfall... I had a very fulfilling time. That unique shaking might be a bit tough for those who are sensitive to it.
何故かあまり知られていない路線BUS利用でヒロの町のターミナルから$2で帰りの荷物共々空港へ。因みに80分毎にBUSは出ています。で、そのトランクを預け簡単な緊急時研修の後いざ搭乗。体重を元に7名ずつのグループにされます。初めての浮揚感とスタート時の低空飛行と普段なかなか観られない側面からの空港の様子に興奮を抱きつつも解説に耳を傾ける。海に落ち凄まじい蒸気を上げる熔岩流に大地の動脈を感じ、昨日展望台から観た火口を上から見る高揚感、そして美しい滝を眺める…非常に充実した時を過ごすことが出来ました。あの独特の揺れはダメな人にはやや厳しいかも。

The event started at 17:30, but I lined up for the general seating from 17:00 and was able to be shown to a seat quite far forward. The children's buffet was ready to eat right away, so I had my child go get some, and I enjoyed it as a snack. The main buffet was delicious as well. I got a bit sleepy during the middle of the show, but the fire performances were impressive.

When I checked the meeting place on Google Maps, it ended up being along H1, so I confirmed it at the hotel front desk and headed there cautiously. First, we drove to check the parking and location, and in the end, we walked from the Sheraton where we were staying to Keauhou Bay. It was about the size of a private beach, and we could easily reach it from the opposite side.
It was our first time kayaking, and as expected, we didn't make much progress at first, but the weather was really nice that day, and we were able to reach the cave safely! As mentioned in other comments, it's better to have sandals that won't come off or trekking shoes. Depending on the weather, there may be times when you can't reach the land, so it's best to bring them just in case. We only had beach sandals, but the guide said, "They float in water, so if you drop them, you can just pick them up, so it's not a problem."
I recommend getting a waterproof disposable camera sold on-site, as it allows you to take photos without worry. Also, my husband only got sunburned on the inside of his feet. It's best to be fully prepared for sun protection.
集合場所をGoogleMapで確認すると、H1沿いになってしまうのでホテルのフロントで確かめて慎重に向かいました。まずは車で行き駐車場や場所を確認し、結局は今回宿泊していたシェラトンから歩いてケアウホウ湾に行きました。プライベートビーチぐらいの大きさで反対側にいても問題なくたどり着ける距離でした。
カヤックは主人も私も初めてで、思った通りになかなか進まなかったりしましたが、この日は本当に天気が良く無事に洞窟までたどり着くことができました!
他の人のコメントにあったとおり、脱げないサンダルやトレッキング用シューズがあったほうが良いです。天候によっては陸地にいけないこともありますが、念のため持って行ったほうがよいです。私たちはビーチサンダルしかなかったのですが、ガイドのお兄さんが「水に浮くから落としても拾えるから問題ない」と言ってました。
現地で売ってる防水の使い捨てカメラがあると気兼ねなく写真を撮ることができるのでお勧めです。
あと、主人は足の内側だけ焼けてました。日焼け対策は万全にしておいたほうが良いです。
