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 would like to participate again. また参加したいです

Reviewed by: Mihoko

I participated with my child who is under three years old. My husband and I planned to take turns going into the sea while one of us stayed on the boat with our child, but since the group went a bit far from the boat, that plan turned out to be difficult. In the end, we sat our son on a surfboard and both of us snorkeled with the other participants. At first, our child was scared and crying, but gradually he got used to it and said, "I'm not scared anymore." The staff were very kind to our youngest son, holding him so we could enjoy ourselves without worrying about him, and they were incredibly helpful.

I wasn't sure about the meeting place, but when I called the contact number, they kindly explained the location and even sent a photo of the map to my phone.

We had a great time, but I think it might be difficult for children under three to participate, depending on the staff.

3歳未満の子供と参加しました。主人と交代で海に入り、どちらかが子供と一緒に船上で待っていようと計画していましたが団体が少し船から離れたところまで行くので実際はその計画は難しく、結局サーフボードに息子を座らせて夫婦同時に他の参加者と共にシュノーケルをしました。はじめ子供は怖がっていて泣きべそをかいていましたがだんだん慣れて「もう怖くない」と言っていました。スタッフも最年少の息子にとても優しく、私たちが息子のことを気にかけず楽しめるように抱っこしてくれたり申し訳ないほど親切にしてもらいました。

集合場所もよく分からなかったのですが連絡先に電話を入れたらとても丁寧に場所を教えてくれて私の携帯に地図の写真まで送ってくれました。

とても楽しめましたがスタッフによっては３歳未満の参加は難しいかと思います。

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ（キングカメハメハホテル内）＜ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題／シェルレイ付＞

It's an authentic professional luau. 本格的なプロのルアウです

Reviewed by: Mihoko

I parked my car in the hotel parking lot. Normally, the parking fee for non-guests is high, but guests of the luau could park for $5. The venue has long tables where you sit with others, but since the other tables are not all acquaintances, it doesn't feel awkward. The food was delicious, the performances were enjoyable, and my son, who is under three years old, had a great time. I was worried that little kids might get bored halfway through, but he seemed to be fascinated by the dancing and music, sitting quietly and happily watching the stage.

ホテルの駐車場に車を停めました。普通宿泊客でない駐車料は高いですがルアウの客は５ドルで停められました。会場は長テーブルで相席になりますが他のテーブルも皆知り合い同士じゃないのでお互い気になりません。食事もおいしく、パフォーマンスも楽しく、3歳未満の息子も楽しめました。小さい子は途中で飽きてしまうか心配でしたが、踊りや音楽が興味深かったようでおとなしくじっとステージを見て喜んでいました。

It's perfect for families. 家族連れにもぴったりです

Reviewed by: Mihoko

I was worried because I had my son who is under three years old, but all the children's floaties were available for free rental. The staff was friendly and accommodating, which made it enjoyable.
Both breakfast and lunch were delicious, and my son was happy.
The snorkeling spot had clear water and was a great experience. It seemed to be full, so the boat felt a bit crowded, but the amount of food was sufficient, and during snorkeling, everyone enjoyed their activities, so it didn't bother me at all. The restroom on the boat was clean. They also provided careful assistance for snorkeling beginners.

３歳未満の息子もいたので心配でしたが、子供用の浮き輪などすべて無料でレンタルできます。スタッフも気さくでフレンドリーに対応してくれて楽しめました。
朝食も昼食もおいしく、息子も喜んでいました。
シュノーケルの場所も水がきれいでいい経験でした。満員だったようで船上は少し込み合った感がありましたが食事の量も十分だし、シュノーケル中はそれぞれの行動を楽しむので全く気になりませんでした。船の中のトイレもきれいです。シュノーケル初心者にも丁寧に対応してくれます。

Be careful of the cold and seasickness!!! 寒さと船酔いに注意！！！

Reviewed by: Michi

Since I went to the Big Island, I absolutely wanted to see a manta ray! With high spirits, I joined this tour. I was really excited until I got into the water, but... since it was December, the water temperature was cold, and the waves were quite strong, so the conditions weren't great. Once I got in the water, it was really cold, and even though I took motion sickness medication, I ended up feeling seasick. I stayed in the water for 30 minutes, determined to see at least one manta ray, and I was able to see a few! The excitement I felt when I saw them was truly beyond words! However, I couldn't last until the end and had to get back on the boat after 30 minutes, feeling groggy... but this is also a memory of my trip.

The instructor, Torichan, was a very cheerful Japanese person, which made me feel really at ease. They lent us their personal windbreaker since we were feeling seasick and offered us warm drinks.

It was easy to communicate in Japanese, which was nice.

I want to see manta rays up close again, so I think I'll try for a rematch during the warmer season!

Thank you for the exciting experience! ^ - ^

ハワイ島に行ったからには、絶対にマンタを見たい‼︎と、気合いいっぱいでこちらのツアーに参加しました。
海に入るまではノリノリでしたが…
12月という事もあって、水温は冷たくたまたま波のうねりも強く、とても良いコンディションとは言えませんでした。
海に入ると、とっても寒くて酔い止めを飲んでいましたが波酔いもしてしまいました。
一目でもマンタを見たいとねばり30分海に入ってて、数枚のマンタを見れました！
見た時の感動はほんとうに計り知れないものでした！
ただ、最後までは頑張れず30分で船に上がりグロッキー状態でしたが…笑
これも、旅の思い出です。
インストラクターのとりちゃんは
とっても明るい日本人の方で、とても安心できまし
た。船酔いしてる私たちに私物のウインドブレーカーを貸してくれたり、暖かい飲み物をくれたり。

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

Close Encounters with Huge Mantas

Reviewed by: Celia L

My husband and I enjoyed the evening of going out on a canoe and then getting in the water and holding on to a lighted surf board to observing the huge mantas come right up to you! The young crew members were very friendly and helpful. They did provide a wet suit top but I regretted not having my full wet suit. Although it is in the "warm" Hawaiian water- after 30 minutes the water does steal your bodies warmth. So that would be my only suggestion to the average tourist. Despite the cold near the end, it was such a unique encounter that the amazing mantas- we were thrilled!

Overwhelmed by the manta ray approaching! 目前に迫るマンタに圧倒！

Reviewed by: JoJo

I participated in early November. I was worried about the cold for the night activity, but thanks to the wetsuit I rented, I didn't feel too cold underwater. If the waiting time underwater is long, it might be tough. Fortunately, we only waited about five minutes, and more than three mantas came to us, which made me forget the cold in amazement. The graceful mantas gliding right in front of me were breathtaking! The bright white bellies of the mantas illuminated by the lights stood out against the night sea, making it feel almost unreal. They kept coming until we got back on the surface, and I enjoyed it until the very end.

Once we got back on the boat, my body felt heavier than I expected, and the cold was tough. I'm glad I brought a thick towel and a windbreaker. Also, despite taking motion sickness medicine, I felt nauseous from the waves and couldn't drink cocoa.

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset, so I’ll give it a ☆-1. However, I was very satisfied with the main manta experience! I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

11月初旬に参加しました。夜のアクティビティのため寒さが心配でしたが、借りたウェットスーツのおかげか水中ではあまり寒さを感じませんでした。水中での待機時間が長いとこたえるかもしれません。幸いにも私たちの場合は5分ほど待っただけで3枚以上のマンタが来てくれたので、感動で寒さも吹き飛びました。目の前を優雅に翻るマンタは圧巻です！ライトに照らされたマンタの真っ白な腹部が夜の海に映え、現実のこととは思えないほどでした。水上に上がるまで繰り返しマンタが来てくれて、最後まで満喫できました。
船上に上がってからは思った以上に体が重く、寒さがこたえました。厚手のタオルとウインドブレーカーを持って行ってよかったです。また、酔い止め薬を飲んで行ったのにも関わらず波酔いをしたのか、胸がむかむかしてココアが飲めませんでした。
残念ながら夕日が見られなかったので、☆-1つ。でも、メインのマンタを満喫できたので大満足です！友達にも勧めたいと思います。

Very satisfied!! 大満足！！

Reviewed by: ゆか☆

This was my first time on the Big Island of Hawaii. I participated based on a friend's recommendation. Previously, I had joined a dolphin tour on Oahu, so I chose to see manta rays this time.

The crew was very kind, which made me feel at ease. The captain was also nice, and Ally provided explanations in Japanese, which was very helpful. We took a helicopter ride to the manta point, and it felt like an attraction similar to a banana boat. The sunset visible from the boat was incredibly beautiful and moving. I was worried about seasickness, as mentioned in other reviews, but I didn't experience any at all.

We held onto the rope attached to the surfboard and waited for the manta rays to come close. At first, they didn't appear at all, which made me anxious, but we moved to another spot where we could see the mantas. When I finally saw them, the experience was so powerful and moving.

On the way back, we were treated to hot chocolate and snacks, which was a nice surprise. The night view from the boat was also beautiful.

今回初めてのハワイ島でした。友人におすすめされて、参加しました。以前は、イルカのツアーをオアフ島で参加したので、見たことがないマンタにしました。
クルーの方もすごく優しくて、安心しました。学長さんも優しく、アリーちゃんも日本語で説明してくれたので、助かりました。
マンタのポイントまで、船のヘリに乗って、バナナボートのようなアトラクション気分で行きました。その際に、船から見える夕陽は、とても綺麗で感動しました。皆さんのレビューにあった船酔いが心配でしたが、全くそれは無かったです。

サーフボードに付いてる紐を持って、ひたすらマンタが近寄ってくるのを待つ感じでした。初めは全然現れなくて、不安でしたが、ポイントを移動して、マンタが見れるようにしてくれました。実際マンタを見ると、迫力がすごくて、とても感動しました。

帰りには、ホットチョコレートと、スナックの差し入れがあり、嬉しかったです。船から見える夜景も綺麗でした。

I was moved by the manta rays up close! 間近に見るマンタに感動！

Reviewed by: まさ&なつ

I thought manta rays were something to see at an aquarium (laughs), so I was really looking forward to this tour. Since it was a meet-up plan, I drove there with a rental car, but the meeting spot in the large harbor was a bit hard to find. It's best to allow a little extra time♪

The other participants were from overseas (maybe America?), and our guide, a very cute and cheerful girl named Ari, guided us in perfect Japanese as we traveled by boat for about 20 minutes to the point. It felt amazing; even though it was a small boat, the sensation of cutting through the wind and racing across the evening sea was the best. We encountered wild dolphins along the way, and they even stopped the boat for a bit, allowing us to see them up close. It seemed like the dolphins were coming over to us!

When we arrived at the manta point, we held onto a board with blue lights to watch the mantas. I was shocked to see them so close! I observed their large mouths, round eyes, and even the tips of their tails. It felt like they were dancing around, which was a strange sensation. I had imagined it would be more like just seeing them glide by, so it was quite a surprise.

Of course, since it was nighttime on the way back and my wetsuit was wet, please make sure to bring a bath towel and a windbreaker. The starry sky we saw on the way back was a breathtaking view with the majestic mountains over the sea.

マンタは水族館で見るものだと思っていたので(笑)、このツアーを知って楽しみにしていました。
現地集合プランだったので、レンタカーで行きましたが広いハーバー内、集合場所はちょっと分かりにくかったです。少し時間に余裕をもって♪
他の参加者の方は海外の方たち（アメリカかな？）でしたが、とってもかわいくて明るいガイドのアリちゃんに、ばっちり日本語でガイドしてもらいながら20分ほど船でポイントまで行きます。これがとっても気持ち良くて、小さい船ですが風を切って夕方の海を疾走する感覚は最高でした。途中で野生のイルカにも遭遇して、少し船を止めてくれたのですごく近くで見ることができたし、イルカの方も寄ってきてくれてるようでした！
マンタポイントに着いて、ブルーライトの付いたボードにつかまってマンタを見るのですが、『えっ！こんなに近くで見れるの？！マンタってこんな姿をしてるんだ！』って、大きな口やつぶらな目、しっぽの先までマンタを隅々まで観察できました。くるくるとダンスをしてくれてるようでもあり、不思議な感覚でした。『すーっと通りすぎるのを見る』みたいなイメージだったので、びっくりしました。
さすがに、帰りは夜ですしウェットスーツも濡れてるのでバスタオルやウインドブレーカーをちゃんと持っていって下さいね。帰りに見た星空も、海の上で雄大な山々と共にのぞむ絶景でしたよ。

★Breathtaking! An Inspiring Tour★ ★絶景！感動のツアー★

Reviewed by: こぼちゃん

I went to the Big Island for my honeymoon! After participating, I learned that if you post about it, you can get one person free, so I joined the local plan.

★ Access
I stayed at the Sheraton Kona Resort, and it cost $40 (one way) by taxi from the hotel to the location. Even considering the tip, it was a good deal. For the return trip, I was told that there are no taxis waiting, so I asked the hotel staff to help me and made a round-trip reservation.

*Return time should be confirmed
The return time was about an hour earlier than what was listed on the voucher. At the meeting point, the taxi driver and the guide spoke directly, so I didn't have to wait outside.

The meeting place took some time to reach, as the taxi driver was unsure even after I showed him pictures and maps. I recommend acting early.

★ Tour Content
The guide was very cheerful and spoke fluent Japanese!

The boat ride to the manta ray swimming point was quite fast and fun. Thanks to taking motion sickness medication after seeing other people's posts, I didn't get seasick. The sunset we saw along the way was also very beautiful!

When swimming with the manta rays, there were no life jackets, so as someone who can't swim at all, I was quite worried. However, I just had to hold onto the rope attached to the board and float, so I was able to enjoy it too. No worries!

I was able to see manta rays up close, and it was a very satisfying tour. Several manta rays came right in front of me multiple times, close enough to touch (though I didn't touch them).

By November, it gets cold on the way there (even colder on the way back), so I think it's better to bring a larger towel or something to wear.

I made eye contact with a manta! マンタと目が合った！

Reviewed by: ゆでたまご

We headed to the meeting place at Honokohau Harbor from Waikoloa by rental car, but there was a long traffic jam heading towards Kailua about 3 kilometers before Kona Airport, so it's better for those using a rental car to leave their accommodations early.

The meeting spot is a bit hard to find, but if you follow keywords like the large parking lot on the north side of the harbor (partly gravel), the big public restroom in the middle, and the building with a yellow fence and blue roof (which is easier to identify as a shed), you should be fine.

The boat can be quite bumpy, jumping on the waves, so if you are prone to seasickness, it's definitely advisable to take motion sickness medication that you bought in Japan. The boat will anchor at the manta ray viewing point, but the slight swaying here can also trigger seasickness.

The Japanese-speaking guide, Ali, is very friendly and cute. She explained the manta rays clearly for first-time participants. You hold onto a surfboard to keep your body horizontal and wait for the manta rays to come. That day, manta rays gathered one after another to feed, and we were able to see them doing flips right in front of us. It felt like they were looking at us with their big eyes, which was quite thrilling. The largest female manta ray is said to be over 4 meters long. I had an incredible and unforgettable experience, and I'm very excited. Mahalo.

集合場所のホノコハウハーバーへはワイコロアからレンタカーで向かいましたが、コナ空港手前3キロ位からカイルア方面に向って長い渋滞が起きていたのでレンタカーを利用して行く人は早めに宿を出た方が良いです。
待ち合わせ場所はちょっと分かりにくいけど、ハーバー北側の広い駐車場（一部砂利）、真ん中にある大きい公衆トイレ、黄色いフェンスと青い屋根の建物（小屋と行った方が分かりやすい）といったキーワードを辿って行けば大丈夫です。
ボートは結構激しく海面をジャンプしたりして揺れるので船酔いしやすい人は絶対に日本で買った酔い止めの薬を飲んだ方が良いです。マンタを見るポイントでボートを停泊しますが、ここでの微妙な横揺れも船酔いを誘発させます。
日本語を話すガイドのアリちゃんはとってもフレンドリーでキュートです。初めての参加の人にも分かりやすくマンタの説明をしてくれました。サーフボードにつかまって体を水平に保ちマンタが来るのを待ちます。この日は次から次へとマンタが餌を食べに集まり、目の前でくるんくるんと宙返りをする姿が直ぐ近くで見る事が出来ました。大きな目玉でギョロッとこちらを見ているような気がしてドキッとします。一番大きな雌のマンタは4メートル以上あるそうです。信じられないような未知なる体験をさせていただき大変興奮しています。Mahalo

The best two hours! 最高の２時間！

Reviewed by: YUKO

We participated in the flight at 7 AM on November 16th! We were the only Japanese participants, which made us quite anxious, but the pilot, TOSHI, who appeared was a very cheerful and wonderful Japanese person. With 20 years of experience, he was also very good at communicating. He explained things clearly to the foreign passengers, mixing Japanese and English.

The weather that day was perfect! We could see the lava from Kilauea and the lava from the Ocean Approach clearly. More than that, the breathtaking scenery of Waipi'o Valley, which can only be seen by helicopter, left us speechless. The world’s 13th tallest waterfall was flowing beautifully. According to TOSHI, it had rained the day before, and since it was the first flight of the morning, there was a lot of water flowing. He mentioned that by around noon, the water would hardly be flowing, so I recommend an early flight for those who will participate in the future.

As for the flight itself, there was nothing to complain about, but one disappointing aspect was the hotel pickup. We were scheduled to be picked up at 5:55 AM and waited five minutes early to avoid being late, but the car actually arrived after 6:10 AM. The voucher stated to contact them if the pickup did not arrive after 15 minutes, so when I tried to get the front desk to help, the car arrived just then. It was disappointing to have woken up early for this. The pickup staff did not speak Japanese, so I couldn't voice any complaints.

Meeting TOSHI, who shares the same last name, made for an unforgettable day for us. Thank you!

１１月１６日の朝７時のフライトに２人で参加しました！
日本人の参加者は私たち夫婦だけで、かなり不安でしたが、登場してきたパイロットのTOSHIさんがとーっても明るくて素敵な日本人でした。２０年のベテランでとーってもお話上手。
一緒に搭乗した外人さんにもわかりやすく、日本語と英語を交えて説明してくれました。

この日の天候は最高！キラウエアの溶岩も、オーシャンアプローチの溶岩もしっかり見えました。それよりもワイピオ渓谷では、ヘリコプターでしか見れない壮大な景観、言葉が出ないぐらい感動してしまいました。世界で１３番目に高い滝は、しっかり水が落ちていました。TOSHIさんの話では、前日に雨が降り、朝１番でのフライトだからたくさん水が落ちている、とのこと。昼ぐらいには水はほとんど落ちないでしょう、ということなので、これから参加する方は早い時間のフライトをお勧めします。

フライトに関しては、何の申し分もないぐらいですが、１つ残念だったのが、ホテルの送迎に関して。
５時５５分のお迎え予定で、遅れないようにと５分前には待っていましたが、実際に車が来たのは６時１０分過ぎ。１５分過ぎて迎えが来ない場合は連絡をください、とバウチャーに書いてあったので、連絡しようとフロントに動いてもらったら、車が来るというタイミング。頑張って朝早く起きたことを残念に思ったスタートでした。お迎えのスタッフは日本語ができない人たちなので、文句は何も言えませんでした。

同じ苗字のTOSHIさんとの出会いは、私達夫婦にとって、忘れられない１日になりました。
ありがとうございました！

マンタと泳いだ!! swam with a manta!!

Reviewed by: ksk

Swimming with manta rays in the night sea was one of the things I wanted to do on the Big Island of Hawaii. My husband, who is terrified of swimming and entering the ocean at night, surprisingly enjoyed it as well.

First, we boarded a small boat and headed out to sea. The thrill of the speed was exhilarating! The sunset viewed from the boat was breathtaking. When the sun had completely set and it was dark, we arrived at the observation spot. We all held onto the board and floated while waiting for the manta rays. Although I said we were waiting, the rays were quickly attracted to the light beneath the board and came right up to us. I was so excited to see a manta ray glide just below my belly! The manta rays dancing gracefully in the night sea were truly mystical. I was able to take some great photos of them, and I was very satisfied!

However, as others have mentioned, it can be quite nauseating. The gentle rocking of the board was tougher than seasickness. Even my husband and I, who love thrilling rides, felt a bit queasy. It’s definitely a good idea to take motion sickness medication for peace of mind. A girl in our group looked pretty miserable from the nausea.

On the way back, we enjoyed the starry sky and felt the grandeur of the Big Island. If you’re considering participating in this activity, you absolutely should!

夜の海でマンタと泳ぐ‼私がハワイ島でやりたいことの１つでした。
ただ、泳げなく夜の海に入る事を異常に怖がる旦那。でも、そんな彼でも充分に楽しめたようです。
まず、小さなボートに乗って沖へ出ます。スピード感がスリリング‼ボートから見る夕陽は絶景です。
陽も沈みすっかり暗くなった頃に、観測スポットに到着。みんなでボードに掴まり、プカプカと浮きながらマンタを待ちます。待つと書きましたが、ボードの下の光に引き寄せられ、すぐにマンタが寄ってきます。自分のお腹下スレスレを通るマンタに大興奮♪夜の海で、ゆったりと優雅に舞うマンタは神秘的です。マンタの写真もバッチリ撮れて、大満足!!!
ただし、他の参加者の方も書かれているように、けっこう酔います。船酔いよりも、ボードのゆったりとした揺れがキツかった。絶叫系アトラクションが大好きな私たち夫妻でも、酔いました。酔い止めは飲んだほうが、安心です。一緒のグループだった女の子は、酔ってしまいかなり辛そうでした。
帰りのボートでは、星空が楽しめ、ハワイ島の雄大さを感じられます。
アクティビティに参加するか迷っている方は、絶対にやるべきです！

Dolphin dolphin dolphin! イルカイルカイルカ！

Reviewed by: くまもん

We stayed on Oahu and the Big Island for our honeymoon, and it became the best memory of all. First of all, the clarity of the ocean is just amazing. A pod of dolphins swims gracefully through the water, filling the air with their adorable sounds. I was completely healed by the sight of a baby dolphin jumping while wagging its tail! It seems like there are manta ray tours at night as well, so I want to participate in both next time.

ハネムーンでオアフ島、ハワイ島と滞在しましたが、全てにおいて1番の思い出になりました。
まず、なんといっても海の透明度。
そのなかを優雅に泳ぐイルカの群れ。
たくさんの可愛らしい鳴き声。
赤ちゃんイルカがしっぽをフリフリしながらジャンプするしぐさに、癒されまくりました！夜はマンタツアーもやってるみたいなので、次は両方参加したいなぁ。

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

The spacious sky feels nice. ゆったり空が気持ちいいです

Reviewed by: かなきち

I booked the plan over 350 meters, and I think most people can enjoy it even if they have a fear of heights. The moving boat shakes quite a bit, so it's good to have motion sickness medication if you're prone to getting seasick.

350m超のプランを予約、高所恐怖症でもほとんどの人が楽しめるとおもいます。
移動する船は結構揺れるので、酔いやすいひとは酔い止めがあるといいです

King Kayak Hawaii - Keauhou Bay Kayaking & Snorkeling Tour

Great way to spend a morning on the big island

Reviewed by: Jill

If you like kayaking and snorkeling, this is a great trip! The tour guide was very informative and actually took pictures for everyone on the trip. It was a smaller size group which was perfect for this kind of excursion. The snorkeling stops were great. The only thing is it is hard to get on and off kayaks when on the water! I fell off once when trying to take off my shorts. I want to do this one again when I go back.

The beautiful underwater world. 美しい海中の世界

Reviewed by: なかむらっち

First of all, I was impressed by the transparent and beautiful blue sea. Lucky for us, just as we left the port, we discovered a pod of dolphins swimming with their dorsal fins out of the water. We even spotted some dolphins jumping. I was able to enter the water about four times, aiming for the route the dolphins were taking. The wetsuit keeps you afloat without any effort, but if you're feeling anxious, it's a good idea to use a floatation device. I think we borrowed floatation devices for about three people this time.

During the first time in the water, I wasn't quite used to the sea yet, so I was a bit slow to put my face in the water, and I barely managed to see the dolphins swimming far away. The second time, as soon as I got in the water and put my face down, I was able to see a mother and baby dolphin swimming slowly right below me. I could also hear their cute squeaking sounds. After that, I got more comfortable in the water and was able to enjoy the sunlight filtering through the water and the sight of many dolphins swimming around me.

At the end, Daisuke, who was driving the boat, insisted that he wanted to get in the water! He switched places with Jesse and jumped in, swimming like a dolphin. I couldn't help but wonder if Daisuke was actually a dolphin (laughs).

Jesse, who also provided transportation, didn't look Japanese at all, but he spoke Japanese very well, and I was able to hear a lot of stories beyond just dolphins, which made it really enjoyable. Thank you very much!

まず最初、透明で美しい青い海に感動しました。
ラッキーなことに港を出てすぐに、背びれを出して泳いでいるイルカの群れを発見しました。
そのうちジャンプするイルカも発見。
イルカが進行してくるルートをねらって、4回ほど海に入らせてもらえました。
ウェットスーツは何もしなくても浮くのですが、不安な人は遠慮なく浮き具をもらうといいです。
今回は3人ほど浮き具を貸してもらっていたと思います。
1回目はちょっとまだ海に慣れてなかったので、顔を水に付けるタイミングが遅れて、遠くに泳いでいるイルカをなんとか見れたという感じでした。
2回目は、海に入ってすぐ顔をつけると、真下をゆっくり泳いでいく親子のイルカを見られました。
キューキューというかわいい声も聞けました。
それ以降は水に慣れてきて、海中を差し込む太陽光とたくさんのイルカの泳ぐ姿を余裕をもって見ることができました。
最後は船を運転していたダイスケさんが、どうしても海に入りたい！と言って、ジェシーさんに運転をチェンジして、海に入るとイルカみたいに泳いでました。
ダイスケさんはイルカなのかな？と思ってしまいました(笑)

送迎もしてくださったジェシーさんは全く日本人には見えませんが、日本語が大変上手くてイルカ以外の話もたくさん聞くことができ、とても楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました！

ハワイ島 アトランティス潜水艦　ハワイの海底アドベンチャー ＜日本語オーディオガイド＞　

You might need motion sickness medication. 酔い止め要るかも

Reviewed by: kkk

Until boarding the submarine waiting at sea, we will travel by boat from the pier. During the journey, the crew members talk about something, but I couldn't understand because I don't speak English...

Inside the submarine, you can listen to explanations in Japanese through headphones.

海で待機している潜水艦に乗るまでは、桟橋から船で移動します。移動中は乗組員さんが何か話してくれるのですが、英語が分からないため理解できず……。

潜水艦の中では、ヘッドフォンで日本語の解説が聞けます。
