Cheese with the beautiful sea! 綺麗な海でハイチーズ!

Reviewed by: ワンちゃん

The transparent marine blue sea.
However, on this day, the temperature was unthinkably low for Hawaii.
I could only stay in the water for about five minutes because it was so cold.
In front of the camera, I smiled broadly and said "cheese!" without showing how I felt!
I made some great memories.
The BBQ lunch made by a voluptuous woman was delicious!

透きとおるマリンブルーの海。
ただこの日はハワイではありえない程の気温。
寒くて5分くらいしか海に入っていられなかったのだ。
カメラの前ではそれを感じさせない満面の笑顔でハイチーズ!
思い出作りをしてきました。
ボリュウミーな女性が作ってくれたBBQランチは美味しかったよー。

サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

I was disappointed. がっかりでした

Reviewed by: tomo

It seems that the sandbar doesn't appear every time! It looks like you can only stand on the beautiful sandy beach during low tide, and that information wasn't provided. Just before arriving at the sandbar, I was told that I could go in up to my knees today! I was looking forward to standing on the sandbar, so it was disappointing.

Also, it mentioned that there would be a BBQ lunch, but it was just hamburgers, beans, and snacks! I was imagining meat and seafood, so I was very disappointed. I felt quite let down by participating in this tour.

サンドバーが毎回現れるわけではないそうです!引き潮じゃないと綺麗な砂浜の上には立てないみたいでその情報が掲載されてなかったような、、
サンドバーに着く直前に今日は膝上までですが入れますとのこと!サンドバーに立てるのを楽しみにして申し込みましたが残念でした。
またBBQランチ付きと買いてありましたがハンバーガーとビーンズとスナックだけでした!お肉、海鮮などを想像してたのにとても残念でした。このツアーに参加してとても残念に感じました。

Heaven's Sea Snorkeling Tour 天国の海 シュノーケリングツアー

Reviewed by: ひかひか

First of all, it was very reassuring that the tour guide could speak Japanese. Additionally, everyone was very cheerful, bright, and friendly, which made for wonderful memories. Snorkeling was a bit scary at first, but the day we went had excellent water clarity, the weather was great, and I was able to see many beautiful fish and sea turtles, allowing me to forget my fears and enjoy the experience. The staff also spoke to me a lot in Japanese, which made me feel very welcomed. I would love to book this tour again when I come back to Hawaii.

まずはじめに、ツアーの方が日本語ができることがとても心強かったです。
また、皆さんとても陽気で明るく親身に接してくれたのでとても良い思い出となりました。
シュノーケリングは最初怖かったですが、行った日がとても海の透明度が高い日で、天気も良く、たくさんの綺麗な魚やウミガメを見ることができ、怖さを忘れ楽しむことができました。
スタッフの方も日本語でたくさん話しかけてくれたので、とても親しみが持てました。
またハワイに来た際には申し込みたいツアーです。

Four Winds Deluxe Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Taco Bar Lunch & Drinks

Four Winds Molokini Snorkel

Reviewed by: Tim Takach

By far the best snorkel excursion we ever took. Safety was the Captain's first priority and it was greatly appreciated.

The Four Winds offers just about everything possible from small boats for children, life jackets, other floating devices, and under water camera rentals. The crew was awesome.

What to expect? A crew that knows how to have a great time. Don't worry if you forget something because honestly they have everything including wet suits and eco friendly sun screen. On the way to Molokini, we seen a double whale breech which is the best I have seen yet. The captain was very knowledgeable about whales and turtles and was quite funny as he cracked a few jokes along the way. Upon boarding breakfast was served. Later lunch and on the way back a few beers. Great way to end a fabulous day.

I would highly recommend this activity for couples or families. Can't wait to do it again next year.

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>

Amazing, there are three manta rays! 凄いぞマンタが3匹も!

Reviewed by: 讃岐のひろし

I had seen it on TV before and really wanted to experience it, and finally, it came true this time. The boat left the harbor and after about 30 minutes, we arrived. As the tension increased, I relaxed by talking with the Japanese female guide and some locals. Then, as it got dark, the main event began. The captain called out and everyone went to the sea.

After waiting for a while, I heard a boy next to me shout, "They've come!" Sure enough, when I looked over, there was a manta ray, and I joined in the cheers. The manta rays were dancing around with incredible energy. There’s no other way to describe it; it was amazing. After a few minutes of screaming, everyone got back on the boat, looking satisfied and chatting for a while.

When I asked the guide, she said it was the best experience she had had recently. Even now, I can vividly recall that wonderful sight. I am grateful to all the staff for this amazing experience.

前にテレビの映像で観てぜひ体験したいと思っていましたがやっと今回実現にいたりました。船は港を出て30分ほど走って到着。緊張感が増す中、日本人女性ガイドや近隣の方と色々話してリラックス。そんな中いよいよ暗くなって本番?キャプテンが声を上げみんな海へ。
しばらく待ってると隣の少年が来た〜って声を。
確かにそちらを見るとマンタが〜って私も歓声を。凄い勢いでマンタの乱舞。
これは凄いとしか言いようがない。絶叫の数十分後みんな船に上がり満足そうにしばらく 談笑。
ガイドに聞いたらつい最近で最高ですなんて。いま思い出しても素晴らしい光景が目に浮かびます。この素晴らしい体験にスタッフの皆さんに感謝です。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー 貸切プランあり<半日>

Even for first-timers, it's安心. 初めてでも安心

Reviewed by: Ayumi

I participated with my mother on January 5th. It was our first time, and my mother, who is 65 years old and had a past experience of almost drowning in the ocean, was quite anxious at the start.

However, thanks to Dan and Chieko's assistance, we were able to enjoy the experience until the end and see beautiful fish and turtles.

I apologize to the other participants for monopolizing Chieko, but both my mother and I were very satisfied!

My mother, who experienced snorkeling for the first time at 65, gained confidence from it and says every day that she wants to go again soon, haha.

This is an activity that both beginners and experienced individuals can enjoy. While you can visit Hanauma Bay on your own, Dan and Chieko know the best spots, so if you're going, I highly recommend this option.

You can also obtain photos for free from Facebook, making it a nice keepsake.

Dan and Chieko, I look forward to our next time!

1/5に母と二人で参加しました。二人とも初めてで、65歳になる母は昔海で溺れたこともあり、不安いっぱいでのスタートでした。

でも、DanさんとChiekoさんの手助けのおかげで最後まで楽しむことができ、綺麗なお魚や亀を見ることができました。

Chiekoさんを独り占めしてしまい、一緒に参加した他の方には申し訳ありませんでしたが、母も私も大満足でした!

65歳にもなって初めてシュノーケリング体験した母は、自信にも繋がり、早くまた行きたいと毎日言っております笑

初めての方も経験者の方も楽しめるアクティビティです。ハナウマベイは個人でも行けますが、ベテランのお二人だからこそ見どころスポットを熟知されてますので、せっかく行かれるのでしたらこちらがおススメです。

お写真もFacebookから無料で入手できるので、記念にもなります。

Danさん、Chiekoさん、次回も宜しくお願いしますね!

Ayumi, thank you for joining our tour together. It's natural to feel nervous for the first time, but once you get used to snorkeling, anyone can become good at it. Once you get comfortable with your breathing, you'll have the chance to see the fish, and it gradually becomes more enjoyable. Your mother did great and persevered until the end. It was wonderful that you both got to swim with the schools of fish and the turtles. We would be happy to assist you again, so please come back for another tour with us. We are always looking forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. We look forward to meeting you again. Mahalo!!

Ayumi様、この度はお二人でツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。初めての場合は皆さん緊張してしまいますが、シュノーケリングは慣れれば誰でも上手になれるのです。呼吸に慣れればお魚を見る余裕ができ、だんだん楽しくなってきます。お母様もそんな感じで、最後まで頑張ってくれましたね。お魚の群れやカメさんとも一緒に泳げて良かったですね。ぜひまたお手伝い致しますので、お二人で私達のツアーにお越しください。いつでもお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。またお会いできるのを楽しみにしております。Mahalo!!

I prepared myself for the coldness of the sea in January, but the weather was surprisingly perfect and even a bit hot. The pickup was on time, and the staff were all very good! Justin's guidance was excellent. The female staff member, Crystal, was beautiful and captivating. Captain Alan was also very kind! I'm glad I chose this tour. The lunch with the bone-in short ribs was delicious! There was plenty of free time, and you can rent beach gear, so you can fully enjoy the emerald-clear sea. I want to go again during low tide. Definitely planning to return!

A tour that changes your perspective on life. 人生観の変わるツアー

Reviewed by: あんでぃ

It had been since elementary school since I last entered the sea. Not even sure if I could swim, I bought a swimsuit and participated anyway. Before getting on the boat, I took motion sickness medication, applied sunscreen, and set sail with some anxiety.

However, the beautiful sea and sky that unfolded before me quickly blew away my worries.

Fortunately, I encountered dolphins at a reef where they only play when they're in a good mood. It was a wonderful experience. It was truly a playful interaction with the dolphins. They didn't just swim past me; I was surrounded by dozens of dolphins from all sides, even at my feet—it felt like a dream.

I dove three times. Even in the deep sea, I felt no fear when jumping in. I was surprisingly filled with excitement and anticipation.

I was also drawn to the personality of our guide, realizing that there are people who can live such wonderful lives. It made me reflect on the importance of being mindful of everything I choose to engage with. I expressed to my husband, who joined me, that I want to avoid things that harm nature or animals as much as possible. I decided to study nature more and see it up close.

Ah, if only I could swim better…! I definitely want to come back someday.

海に入るのは小学生ぶり。自分が泳げるかどうかも分からない状態で、取り敢えず水着だけ買って参加しました。
ボートに乗る前に、酔い止めを飲み、日焼け止めを塗り、不安を抱えながらも出港。
目の前に広がった美しい海と空に、不安は一気に吹き飛びました。

運良く、イルカさんがご機嫌な時しか遊ばないというリーフでイルカさんに遭遇。
素晴らしい体験をしてきました。
言葉通りイルカさんとの戯れ。群れが自分の周りを通り過ぎるなんてものではなかったです。
前後左右、足元にも数十頭のイルカさんに囲まれて、夢のようでした。
ダイブは3回。深い海でも、飛び込む際の怖さは一切なかったです。自分でもびっくりするくらいワクワクドキドキしかなかった。

ガイドさんの人間性にも惹かれ、こんなにステキな生き方ができる人もいるのだなぁと。
もっと、自分の手に取るもの一つ一つに意思を持たなくてはならないと考えさせられました。
自然を侵すものや、どうぶつへ痛みを与えるもの、なるべく避けて暮らしていきたいなと、まずは自然のことをもっと勉強してみよう、もっと間近に見に行ってみよう、と一緒に参加した主人と話をしました。

ああ、それにしてももっと、泳げたらなぁ…!
いつかまた、かならず戻ってきたいです。

I couldn't meet the dolphins this time, but the staff at Dolphin School were all very nice, so I still had a great time.

Since it's a natural experience, I think there are times when you won't see them! Still, it was wonderful to connect with the vast nature of Hawaii.

By the way, I did get to see the turtles and whales!!

Even in midsummer, it gets cold once you're out of the water, so it's better to bring a long-sleeve shirt.

野生のマンタ シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>

The weather is something else! なにぶん天気がね!

Reviewed by: ピーベリープルメリア

Even though it's always summer in Hawaii, we found ourselves in the middle of winter, and unfortunately, it was cold and rainy. We suited up in wetsuits and headed out into the waves, which were quite rough! From a Japanese perspective, it was surprising to start the tour under such bad weather conditions.

As expected, my wife, who isn't very confident in her physical strength, quickly returned to the boat due to the cold and the waves. I was worried about her, and I ended up slipping on the deck and injuring my side. We only managed to spot two manta rays near the ocean floor, which left us a bit disappointed on our first day in Hawaii.

I had joined the tour believing the reviews that said it would be fine even without understanding English, but I think it would be safer to go with a Japanese-speaking tour, even if it costs a bit more. However, I did find that the catamaran had less rocking than expected, so I hope to try again under better conditions.

常夏のハワイ、とは言え真冬おまけに生憎の雨で寒い中、屋根ひとつないところでウェットスーツに身を包み沖へ出るとかなりのうねりが!
われわれ日本人の感覚からすれば、こんな、悪天候の時に出航するのかと思ってしまう条件の中でのスタートとなりました。
案の定寒さと、うねりにより体力に自信のない女房は早々に船上に。
心配で同行した私も、デッキで滑り転倒して脇腹を痛める始末。
肝心のマンタは海の底辺りに2尾だけ現れたのを確認できたのみで、ハワイ島初日にすこしがっかりのツアーでした。
英語がわからなくても、勢いで大丈夫っていった書き込みを信じての参加でしたが、やはり費用が割高でも日本語でのツアーの方が安全面のためにも良いのではと思います。
ただ、双胴船のため、揺れは少ない方だと思いました、好条件の時ににリベンジしたいと思います。

西オアフで体験するパワースポット&シュノーケリングツアー<日本語ガイド兼インストラクター/送迎付き>

It was an incredibly fun tour. 最高に楽しいツアーでした

Reviewed by: ロッキー

This was my 20th trip to Hawaii, but I had hardly experienced West Oahu. The farthest I had visited in Hawaii before was Ko Olina, so I was really looking forward to this West Oahu tour.

My husband and I participated, and since we were the only two participants that day, it felt like a private tour. Our guide, Akima, was a charming and wonderful Japanese person who handled four roles: driver, guide, instructor, and photographer, all with a smile.

The tour was packed with activities, including listening to myths related to the sightseeing spots and enjoying beautiful scenery. However, the most memorable part was snorkeling and encountering three sea turtles and a manta ray. According to Akima, seeing a manta ray happens about once a year, so we were very lucky.

We also opted for the photo shoot, and since Akima is an underwater photographer, he took many wonderful pictures of us swimming with the sea turtles, which made us very satisfied.

I heard that fewer people book this West Oahu tour in winter compared to summer, so I think winter is recommended for those who want to enjoy West Oahu in a smaller group and at a leisurely pace.

ハワイは20回目ですが、西Oahuはほとんど経験がありませんでした。今まで訪れたハワイの最西端はKo Olinaまでだったので、今回の西Oahuツアーは期待Max。
夫婦二人で参加しましたが、その日の参加者は私たち二人だけということで、ツアー貸し切り状態でした。
ガイドのAkimaさんは、ドライバー兼ガイド兼インストラクター兼カメラマンと一人で4役をこなす笑顔がチャーミングで素敵な日本人の方でした。
ツアーは、見学場所にまつわる神話を聞いたり、きれいな風景を楽しんだり、盛り沢山でしたが、一番印象深かったのはシュノーケリングでウミガメ3匹とマンタに出会えたことでした。Akimaさん曰くマンタを見たのは1年に1度くらいとのことなので、大変ラッキーでした。
私たちはオプションの写真撮影も申し込んでいたのですが、Akimaさんは水中カメラマンもやっている人なので、ウミガメと一緒に泳いでいるところ等、素敵な写真を沢山とっていただき、大変満足でした。
冬場はこの西Oahuのツアーを申し込む人は夏場に比べて少ないとのことでしたので、少人数でゆったりと西Oahuを楽しみたい人には冬場がお勧めだと思います。

It was my first time on the Big Island and my first snorkeling tour. There were only our family and one other group of Japanese people. The check-in and explanations were all in English, but there were also Japanese instructions, and the staff was kind, so I felt secure participating. Since it was a morning cruise, we were first served delicious bread and fruit, and before we knew it, we arrived at the snorkeling spot. The beautiful bay had calm waves, and we saw plenty of fish, which made us very satisfied! There were also plenty of floatation devices, so we could enter the water without any worries.

For lunch, we had handmade hamburgers from the staff, and we got to make our own burgers. They were delicious! The boat also had a restroom, which was reassuring. It was a wonderful snorkeling experience where we could fully enjoy the great nature of the Big Island.

初めてのハワイ島で初めてのシュノーケリングツアーでした。日本人は私たち家族ともう1組だけ・・・。受付や説明はすべて英語ですが、日本語の注意書きもあり、スタッフが親切なので安心して参加できました。モーニングクルーズなのでまずおいしいパンやフルーツが出てきて、あっという間にポイントに到着。美しい湾で波も穏やか、魚もたくさん見られて大満足!!浮き輪や浮き具なども豊富なので、不安なく海に入れます。
 昼食はスタッフ手作りのハンバーグで、自分でハンバーガーを作ります。美味しかったー!!船にはトイレもついていて安心。ハワイ島の大自然を満喫できる、素敵なシュノーケリングでした。

Reviewed by: Evar

My most favorite experience on Big Island with Sea Paradise! A great crew and we were taken care of from start to finish. You start by checking in at the shopping center, drive 5 minutes to Keauhou Bay to park your vehicle, get fitted for your wet suit, and get on the boat. The sunset on along the Kona Coast was beautiful. The crew were extremely helpful, very knowledgeable about the history of the manta rays, humorous and went out of their way to make sure we spent the most time with the manta rays. We were one of the first boats in and last to leave. Plus, we were given fresh pineapple, juices/sodas and hot chocolate.
I do not know how to swim but the guides took extra care to make sure I made it on and off the boat with flotation devices. I would definitely recommend Sea Paradise!

Although we were a bit anxious as it was our first experience with snorkeling, we were able to encounter the wonderful underwater world of Hanauma Bay thanks to the appropriate and courteous guidance of our Japanese instructor.

Deluxe Na Pali Experience Snorkel Tour, Breakfast & Lunch - Holo Holo Charters

Tour good, but long for us

Reviewed by: Kathy

The tour, boat, crew, food, and scenery were great. For us, water was too cold to snorkel and 5 hours was too long. Probably would have done better on a 2-3 hour cruise. We did see porpoise, turtles, a monk seal and whale spouts, so the company delivered- it was more our issues that made it too long for us. Also, it is a 1 hr, 45 min drive from princeville to marina, so should have signed up for afternoon tour, not morning.

We are so glad to have had you aboard and want to thank you for your honest comments on what you feel can be improved upon and how it impacted your overall experience. We hope to see you in the future and exceed all expectations! Until we meet again... Mahalo and Aloha

I waited for a while for the manta rays, but when one finally came right in front of me, I was so excited! Even after getting into the water, the staff took me to where the manta rays were, which made it really easy and enjoyable.

ウミガメシュノーケリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ!ソフトドリンク&スナック付き<3時間/英語/ワイキキホテル発>

Sea turtle ウミガメ

Reviewed by: のりこ

We were the only Japanese people on the tour. I couldn't understand Japanese, and I didn't know what the captain was saying, but it was okay, haha.

The tour description mentioned that they would lend us fins, but they only provided snorkeling gear and life jackets. I think the tour details need to be updated. Everyone else around us brought their own fins! It was fine without them, though.

Before boarding, they took photos (which they later sold for $20).

Once we set out, we encountered a pod of dolphins!

There was only one snorkeling spot. We got to swim with five big turtles! If you have a GoPro, the staff will dive down to take pictures of the turtles for you.

We enjoyed drinks (for a fee) while listening to music and having fun. They said that if you jumped into the sea, beer was free! But it was too cold for me to do that.

We went further out to look for whales, but we couldn't find any and had to head back.

Although I couldn't understand Japanese, the staff lady was cheerful and friendly.

I usually don't get motion sickness, but I felt seasick this time. It was cold in January, so be prepared!

日本人は私達だけでした。日本語も通じませんし、船長は何言ってるかわかりませんでしたが大丈夫です笑
ツアー内容にフィンも貸してくれるとありましたが、シュノーケルと救命胴衣だけでした。ツアー内容に変更が必要かと思います。周りの外国人達はみんな持ってきてました!なしでも大丈夫です。
乗船前に写真撮影(最後に20ドルで販売していました)

沖に出たらイルカの群れに遭遇!

潜るポイントはワンスポットのみです。大きなカメ5匹と一緒に泳げました!ゴープロもってる人はスタッフが下まで潜ってカメを撮ってくれます。

音楽を聴きながらお酒(有料)を飲んで、わいわい
(海に飛び込んだらビール無料!って言っていましたが寒くて無理でした)

クジラを探しにさらに沖へ

見つからず帰る

日本語は通じませんが、スタッフのお姉さんは明るくて気さくに話しかけてくれました。

Big Island Manta Ray Snorkel Cruise from Keauhou Bay - Sunset & Night Tours

Guaranteed!

Reviewed by: Jon

Bambi (captain) and Steven (dive guide) both are very friendly and knowledgeable. More importantly, in case that you do not see any manta ray, they arrange you another trip for free. In our case, the giants took a day off on Sunday and then came back on Monday. So try to book it at least 2 days before the end of your trip.

Reply from activity provider

Mahalo for taking the time to submit a review of your sunset/manta tour(s) with Kona Ocean Experience. We're so glad you had the opportunity to rejoin us for a second evening after the mantas took a "night -off", so that you could enjoy seeing their majestic moves. Thank you for acknowledging our "manta guarantee"! Hope to have you aboard again sometime, to perhaps join us for a morning Dolphin & Kealakekua Bay adventure. Aloha!

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!

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。

I had a lot of fun on a boat like the one in the movie Moana, which was also fast. This time, I participated with my family, but there were no other Japanese people besides us. The guide only spoke English. It was a very satisfying tour.

I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take anti-nausea medication in advance.

映画モアナに出てる様な船で、スピードもあって凄く楽しめました。
今回、家族での参加でしたが自分達以外に日本人がいなかったです。
ガイドも英語のみです。すごく満足出来るツアーです。

船酔いしやすい方は事前に酔い止めを飲む事をお勧めします。
